Chapter 861: Chapter 861
"You ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, as long as you’re okay, there’s a survivor over there. If you want answers, go ask yourself. I have things to do, see you."
Xu Qianli wasn’t familiar with Zhu Yue. Having saved her, he didn’t bother to care further and walked away.
"Ah, don’t go!" Zhu Yue panicked, quickly threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms, holding on tightly and refusing to let go. "Are you a man or not? Leaving me alone when you know I’m in danger? Aren’t you afraid there might still be assassins lurking somewhere wanting to kill me?"
"Listen, beautiful, whether or not there are assassins, if there are, what’s that got to do with me? Is it my responsibility to protect you?"
Saying this, Xu Qianli gave Zhu Yue a push, trying to get rid of her, but she held on too tightly, as if strangling his waist.
Zhu Yue refused to let go, no matter what, "I don’t care, you just have to protect me! Don’t worry, if you protect me, I’ll give you benefits. If worse comes to worst, I’ll just give you money. Boohoo, I’m so scared, I’m really scared. Please don’t leave, don’t abandon me alone..."
Zhu Yue cried and pleaded with Xu Qianli to protect her.
She was really frightened, afraid to the core.
She had never encountered such a situation before. Suddenly attacked and nearly killed; she almost lost her life. Luckily, Xu Qianli intervened; otherwise, she’d have been doomed.
Now, everything seemed terrifying to her; everyone seemed frightening. Only Xu Qianli offered a sense of safety, and she refused to let go.
Zhu Yue clinging to him was bad enough; her embrace was crippling to Xu Qianli.
Her figure was incredibly good, especially the fullness at her chest, quite substantial, to say the least.
Having fallen into the water earlier, her clothes were soaked through. Now, hugging him, the fullness pressed tightly against him, making Xu Qianli’s heart race uncontrollably.
Though he didn’t care much for her, he had to admit her figure was fantastic. Such a good figure was quite impressive, pleasing to the eye and even more enticing when held in his arms.
Smacking his lips, Xu Qianli said, "Fine, I’ll protect you, but I won’t help for nothing. I don’t want money; I want something else!"
Not money, something else?
Zhu Yue dumbly lowered her head, seemingly understanding Xu Qianli’s meaning, blushing quickly.
"You, you are just too opportunistic, trying to take advantage of me! Are you men all like this? As soon as you get the chance, you go for it and conquer the woman?"
"Let me tell you, I’m a pure maiden; I’ve never been touched by a man. You can forget about getting my body and heart! If you protect me, at most, I’ll give you extra money."
Anything is fine, but her own body isn’t. Zhu Yue was definitely not going to give Xu Qianli an advantage.
She wasn’t even familiar with him, and because of her brother Zhu Liang had grudges with him, she wasn’t about to let him have her purity.
Xu Qianli couldn’t help but laugh, "I say, beautiful, must you be so narcissistic? Do I look like I lack women? Though you’re quite decent looking, it’s nothing worth going all out for."
"What do you mean by that? According to you, am I not attractive enough? Your eyes aren’t blind; can’t you see how pretty and charming I am? In Beijing, my admirers could line up from the city center to the suburbs! And you dare despise me, based on what?"
"I’m Zhu Yue, an unparalleled beauty, from a good family, and I’ve just been named the future heir of the Zhu Family! You can despise anyone, but not me!"
Having been attacked and nearly killed, Zhu Yue was terrified and scared.
Being despised by Xu Qianli made her unbearable.
As a woman, especially one from a distinguished family and a drop-dead gorgeous beauty, she had always been confident and proud.
On a day like this, to be despised by a wretched man was inconceivable. What on earth did Xu Qianli base this on?
Couldn’t he see how beautiful she was or how great her figure was?
Despising her was wishful thinking!
Seeing her so agitated, Xu Qianli found it laughable and frustrating. This girl was absurd, paying attention to these things right after being attacked.
Shrugging, Xu Qianli said: "Alright, you’re pretty, have a good figure, enough now? But what does that have to do with me? I’m simply not interested in you. Oh, by the way, what did you just say? You’ve been named heir to the Zhu Family?"
"Yes, it happened recently. Originally, my brother was to inherit, but he antagonized his wife, got divorced, offended the Lan Family, and had his leg broken by you. The news spread throughout Beijing, and he became a laughingstock. Because of that, the family elders lost faith in him and chose me as the heir instead."
Zhu Yue briefly explained the situation.
Xu Qianli deserved credit for the changes in the Zhu Family’s inheritance.
Though she resented him for beating her brother Zhu Liang, had Xu Qianli not acted, she wouldn’t have become the family heir.
Of course, she would never be grateful to Xu Qianli, for he had indeed hurt her brother.
Xu Qianli said, "Beautiful, what if this is the case: you just became the heir, then you were attacked, and even your bodyguards might’ve been bribed. Is it possible that someone from within your family orchestrated this? Perhaps because of interests, interests you should be aware of."
Xu Qianli’s words made Zhu Yue understand, so she quickly shook her head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. My brother and I have a great relationship; he would never attack me because of this. It can’t be him, definitely someone else responsible. You’re shameless for suggesting it was him. You broke his leg, and now you slander him. He’s shameless!"
Ridiculous, Xu Qianli was too ridiculous. How could one act like this? Zhu Yue was infuriated.
Even if he had saved her once, Zhu Yue wouldn’t offer him any kindness.
Anticipating this, Xu Qianli didn’t bother with her, pushed her aside, "Believe whatever you want, it’s not my concern. If there’s nothing else, goodbye."
He quickly packed his fishing gear, picked up the frightened Ma Xiaoyan, and left.
As for the female assassins, Xu Qianli made a call to Mo Hongyan, who would have Mo Family’s people clean things up.
Watching Xu Qianli leaving, Zhu Yue panicked, quickly chased after him, "Ah, don’t go, Xu Qianli, don’t go, stop right there!"
Xu Qianli quickened his pace, having no interest in waiting for her.
