Xu Hai sat on the sofa while gritting his teeth. He then frustratedly downed a big shot of alcohol. “I met a girl at the washroom just now and accidentally bumped into her. This b*tch called her bodyguards on me, four or five of them, and beat me up. Ugh, I sure was unlucky.” The room sighed in pity. He was being beaten up because of a woman? Such humiliation!
Just then, Chu Feng spoke softly, “Was it that simple? I think you made a move and harassed her because she was pretty, and that’s why they beat you up.” He’d already seen how Xu Hai would do anything for a woman, so he probably brought it onto himself.
Xu Hai’s face went red and he started coughing. What Chu Feng said was actually the truth, but he’d lied out of embarrassment.
The atmosphere turned a little awkward. Then, a girl who knew Xu Hai quite well glared at Chu Feng and asked, “What’s it to you? Are you trying to show off?”
“Yeah! Who are you to comment on this?” the others scoffed in agreement with the girl, showing their disapproval toward Chu Feng.
Chu Feng smiled nonchalantly and continued sitting in the corner, having lost his interest in pursuing the matter; he could enjoy the show better from the sidelines without getting himself involved in the drama.
Yun Muqing pouted and grumbled, “What kind of people are these?” After that, she obediently stayed by Chu Feng’s side and did not interfere either.
Sun Mingxuan harrumphed and generously clapped Xu Hai on the shoulder. He then declared, “Young Master Xu, she’s lucky she managed to catch your eye in the first place. How dare she not only reject you, but also beat you up? We can’t just let this slide. Now tell me who she is, and I’ll teach her a lesson for you.”
Sure, everyone who entered and exited the Golden Sands were either rich, or powerful, or both. But Sun Mingxuan’s uncle was so powerful that Ma Sanyuan from the Chamber bowed down to him. So what did he have to fear?
Xu Hai, though, avoided his gaze and kept waving. “It’s alright, Young Master Sun. You can’t afford to offend her.”
