277: Chapter 277 Youzi’s Great Undertaking 277: Chapter 277 Youzi’s Great Undertaking Manager Tang signaled the security guards with his eyes to bring the person in.
Subsequently, two rather muscular security guards, each supporting Lin Zhixiong from one side, walked him in.
Then, they threw him next to Cheng Ting.
Cheng Ting was startled and screamed.
Because Lin Zhixiong looked extremely weak at the moment, as if he was on his last breath.
His face was swollen and bruised from being beaten, and it was a sight too miserable to behold.
“Miss Cheng, you should be familiar with this person, right?” Manager Tang stared at her and asked indifferently.
Cheng Ting’s expression turned ugly, but she still stubbornly said, “I don’t know him.”
At this moment, Gu Beiyan walked in slowly.
Although it wasn’t the first time Cheng Ting had seen Gu Beiyan, a man so dazzling, handsome, and emanating golden radiance like him would make any woman’s heart flutter.
She was also beautiful, not any lesser than that slut Jiang You.
Why could Jiang You hook up with such a superior and noble man, while she was only fit to accompany a greasy old man like Lin Zhixiong with a fat head and a beer belly?
But the oppressive aura of the man that seemed to ward off strangers was also overwhelming, sending chills down one’s spine.
Cheng Ting looked at him and involuntarily felt a chill.
Manager Tang respectfully called out, “Mr.
Gu.”
“What’s the matter, unwilling to open your mouth and admit it?”
Gu Beiyan’s narrow and deep dark eyes swept over Cheng Ting, who was kneeling on the ground, with an icy demeanor.
Cheng Ting trembled in fear when she met his eyes, deep as ancient wells.
But she still braced herself and spoke to Gu Beiyan, “I don’t know why Mr.
Gu has brought me here today.
What crime am I accused of?”
Cheng Ting didn’t admit because she hadn’t been involved in this matter from the beginning, so there was no evidence to prove that she did it.
All of this was arranged by Lin Zhixiong himself.
He had long been eyeing Jiang You.
And she just happened to whisper some words into his ear.
Gu Beiyan sat down on a single sofa nearby, his posture casual and lazy, with a trace of a ruffian elegance, but his face was extremely cold.
“Cheng Ting, right?” Gu Beiyan suddenly asked.
His voice was very pleasant, deep and magnetic, with a charm that enchanted the heart, making one’s ears melt.
For the first time, Cheng Ting heard someone say her name in such an enticing way, stirring ripples in her heart.
Such an outstanding and excellent man, that was who Cheng Ting deserved.
She suddenly flashed a smile, her gaze ambiguously locking with Gu Beiyan as she coquettishly replied, “Yes, Mr.
Gu.”
After answering, she also blinked her eyes.
In the past, whenever she fluttered her eyelashes or hooked her fingers, men would fall under her enchantment; Cheng Ting was still very confident in her own charm.
Gu Beiyan’s brow furrowed, his voice cold as the ancient well as he spoke, “If you want to be provocative, you’ve found the wrong person!
But I don’t mind finding someone to satisfy you thoroughly!”
As soon as the man’s words fell, Cheng Ting’s complexion stiffened.
She didn’t expect Gu Beiyan to be so straightforward…
Gu Beiyan’s expression darkened, his dark eyes as terrifying as the abyss, “Manager Tang, since she doesn’t want to talk, find a way to make her talk!”
Hearing this, Manager Tang responded, “Understood, Mr.
Gu.”
Manager Tang gave a look to the security, and Cheng Ting was pulled up and dragged towards the direction of the room.
Cheng Ting’s face immediately changed drastically as she began to struggle.
“Let me go, what do you want to do to me?”
But no one answered her.
After a while, Chen Zhe came in, followed by two blond men, both with a thug-like demeanor.
Chen Zhe looked at the man sitting on the sofa, “Mr.
Gu, the person you wanted is here.”
The man casually responded with a “Hmm,” “Bring her in.”
Chen Zhe: “Yes, Mr.
Gu.”
Upon seeing Gu Beiyan, the two blond men immediately felt a rush of fear, mainly due to the man’s overpowering aura.
“Both of you, follow me,” Chen Zhe said to the two behind him.
In the room, Cheng Ting was tied up, hands and feet, and thrown onto the bed.
Then, she saw a man in a suit leading two men with dyed blond hair enter the room.
Chen Zhe glanced at her, then said to the two blond men, “Go on, make sure to keep this lady comfortable tonight.”
Hearing Chen Zhe’s words, Cheng Ting instantly panicked, shocked from head to toe.
“No, what do you want to do?
This is illegal!” she shouted towards Chen Zhe and the others.
Chen Zhe looked at her indifferently, with a bureaucratic attitude, “Miss, we haven’t done anything; all of this is your own voluntary doing.
Moreover, you have no evidence that it was us, just like you’ve left no evidence for the things you’ve done yourself, that’s why you are so fearless, right?
Of course, we won’t leave any evidence either, enjoy.
‘Do unto others as they do unto you,’ you should understand this principle.”
After Chen Zhe finished speaking, he turned and left.
No matter how much Cheng Ting shouted, the only response was the tightly shut door.
Originally, Mr.
Gu wanted Lin Zhixiong to come, but unfortunately, that man wasn’t tough enough and had fainted.
And then he was temporarily incapacitated by being kicked by the second young mistress, it’s unknown if he will be of any use later.
Actually, meeting Mr.
Gu was quite lucky for Cheng Ting; she at least managed to save her own life.
If Master knew how she schemed against the second young mistress, she would probably have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish by now.
Jiang You was getting a bit bored, so she shared her experience today in the group chat.
Unsurprisingly, Su He, Jing Xuan, and Sang Luo all thought she was too bold, knowing it was a trap but still walking into it.
Only Jiang Nanche, who was originally quite an oddity for being a man in a sisters’ group, said, “I think Jiang You must be really looking forward to such events, hope it happens more often.”
Indeed, he really understood Jiang You’s heart, after all, they grew up together “wearing the same pants.” He guessed her thoughts accurately; if anyone was inseparable from Jiang You, it was Jiang Nanche.
Although Jiang You didn’t want to admit it, that’s exactly what she was thinking just now.
Su He, Jing Xuan, and Sang Luo all simultaneously sent a question mark: ?
Jing Xuan asked confusedly, “Is this some special fetish?
How come I didn’t know Xiao Youzi had this kind of hobby?”
Jiang Nanche sent a cheeky emoticon and played the role of the explainer, “Didn’t you all notice she kept sighing that Beiyan didn’t play hero to rescue the beauty?
She just wishes she could play the damsel in distress to be saved by Beiyan, who can’t see through her intentions?”
Jiang You replied, “Jiang Nanche, if you don’t talk, no one would think you’re mute!”
Actually, up to now, Jiang Nanche still hadn’t gotten over it, how Jiang You ended up with Gu Beiyan; in his mind, these two were completely mismatched.
Jiang Nanche: “You have the intent yet forbid others from speaking, really now.”
Jiang You: “Am I without dignity, is that it?”
Jiang Nanche: “Do you even know what dignity is?”
Jiang You: “…”
Su He and the others didn’t join their verbal battle, mainly because they couldn’t get a word in edgewise when these two were bantering.
Mr.
Jiang already knew what Jiang You said in the group chat, because Su He was checking WeChat messages while he was sitting beside her.
These days, it was just the two of them at home, as Su Baobao had gone to visit Bai Yang at the base.
“After reading it, why didn’t you react?” Su He asked him.
Mr.
Jiang answered straightforwardly, “She has her own man now, it’s not my place to interfere.”
Su He smiled, “You’ve adapted to your role rather quickly.”
Mr.
Jiang: “Otherwise?
Should I still emphasize my identity as a brother?
Lest she accuses me of meddling again.”
Su He nodded in agreement, acknowledging that Jiang You might indeed resent him for interfering.
“By the way, when are you going back?” Su He remembered he had been here for a month already.
Mr.
Jiang squinted his eyes slightly, “Are you trying to get rid of me?”
Su He helplessly said, “If you don’t go back, Su Yimo will miss much of his semester.”
“Kindergarten, there’s nothing much to learn, his attendance doesn’t matter.
Besides, his intelligence is different from other kids,” Jiang Yan said.
Su He: “…”
She didn’t deny his words, but she wanted Su Yimo to attend kindergarten mainly so he wouldn’t miss out on the joys of childhood and to get some experience.
Of course, Mr.
Jiang knew her intention, so he then suggested, “Then let him come here for kindergarten.”
Su He gave him a look and casually asked, “What about you?
Are you thinking of relocating the company here and not going back?”
The man’s eyes slightly raised, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, “You know my heart, only you.”
Su He looked at him in surprise, “I was just saying.”
“That’s a good idea, I might plan it out,” Mr.
Jiang teased, his lips curling.
“Your husband lacks for nothing but money the most, it’s easy for me.”
Su He didn’t doubt his words, he had money, power, and a business acumen that many envied, so if he wanted to open a branch company in another country, it would be a cakewalk.
“Don’t forget that all the property under your name is in my hands, what if I don’t give you the money?” Su He smiled cryptically.
No sooner had she finished speaking, Mr.
Jiang scooped her up with one arm around her waist, lifting and placing her on his lap.
He held her face in one hand, his thumb gently stroking her flushed lips.
With his thin lips curved, his dark eyes filled with gentleness, he said, “Mrs.
Jiang, if I make you comfortable tonight, can I get a little tip?”
“Mr.
Jiang, that’s quite a hefty tip.”
Su He lifted her hand, caressing his distinct and handsome face, her slender fingers gently stroking back and forth.
“What, Mrs.
Jiang thinks it’s not worth it?”
“That’s not it, just that…”
Before she could finish, Mr.
Jiang had already carried her horizontally.
“What are you doing?” Su He asked instinctively.
Carrying her towards the bedroom, Mr.
Jiang said, “Of course, to take care of Mrs.
Jiang’s sleep, tonight you’ll have a different experience.”
“…”
Meanwhile, in China.
Jiang You, having waited for a while, decided to take a shower first, feeling much refreshed afterward, she then climbed into bed to sleep.
Lu Ling had left half an hour ago.
As there was no need for her here anymore, staying would only be like a third wheel.
She would rather go home and enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Lying in bed, Jiang You browsed her friend circle out of boredom, finding it more and more dull.
Suddenly, she thought of something Ms.
Xuan had said the other day, and without a second thought, she sent Ms.
Xuan a WeChat message.
“Ms.
Xuan, can you send me some of those harmonious videos?
Your sister wants to learn.”
At the Jing Family Mansion, Ms.
Xuan was having a “quarrel” with Zhiyang; she craved for spicy food and also wanted ice cream, but Zhiyang wouldn’t let her eat either, so she was quite upset.
The standoff continued with neither willing to give in.
“Zhiyang, you’re living at my place, eating my food, using my stuff, what right do you have to control me?”
Zhiyang didn’t get angry over her words; he explained calmly and patiently, “You just had it yesterday, you can’t have it again today.
Spicy and greasy foods are not good for you or the baby.
Ice cream is the same, you can have it occasionally, but not every day, it’s too cooling and might cause the uterus to contract, causing frequent fetal movements and possibly even premature birth.
So please, just behave and don’t fuss about this with me, I can indulge you in anything except risking your health.”
Ms.
Xuan bit her lower lip, acknowledging he was right, but…
“I just want to eat it, I’ll be upset if I don’t.” She sounded somewhat wronged, and she even felt like crying.
But she wasn’t a crybaby, especially after her father and brother were no longer with her.
Pregnancy had made her increasingly sensitive and vulnerable, especially in front of this man.
Seeing her eyes slightly reddening, silent tears began to fall, making Zhiyang feel as if his heart was stung by a bee.
“I didn’t scold you, why are you crying?” Zhiyang gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Ms.
Xuan turned her head, she didn’t want to cry, nor could she help it.
She retorted irritably, “It just wants to come out, what can I do?”
Zhiyang gave a helpless smile, sighed, but he didn’t soften his stance, nor did he compromise, for he was more concerned about her health than anyone.
It’s said that childbirth for a woman is like walking through the gates of death.
If he had known before that there were so many risks involved in childbirth, he wouldn’t have used the child to bind her to him.
“From now on, once a week, and that’s my final offer; no room for bargaining,” Zhiyang said seriously.
Ms.
Xuan pursed her red lips, once a week was better than not at all.
“Fine.”
Suddenly, her phone on the bedside table vibrated a few times.
Zhiyang thoughtfully reached over, picked it up for her knowing she didn’t want to move.
Ms.
Xuan opened WeChat, immediately understanding from the message she saw, but Zhiyang was puzzled, so he asked, “What videos?”
Ms.
Xuan ignored him, “It’s a secret among us girls; you don’t need to understand.
Weren’t you going to take a bath?
Why not go now?”
Zhiyang could tell she was avoiding him.
He didn’t ask further and stood up to head to the bathroom.
Ms.
Xuan replied to Jiang You, “Wait, I’ll send it to your email, take your time to learn.”
Jiang You quickly responded with an “OK” sticker.
Then she patiently waited.
Two minutes later, Ms.
Xuan replied, “Done, I’ve sent it to you, wait for it to arrive.”
Jiang You sent a “flying kiss” sticker, then exited WeChat, quickly logging into her email.
She was a bit excited and shy, but for her own ambitions, she boldly clicked open the video, clearly unashamed.
