CHAPTER 569: 506 ZHONGLI AND XIAOER’S FIRST MEETING (PART 3)

Lu Xiaoer hummed softly, she completely disregarded Ye Ruiming.

"I’m asking you one more time, what’s your name!"

"What a joke, you ask me and I have to tell you? Is this not a bar but a place to interrogate criminals?"

"You’re still being stubborn at this point, you really don’t know the sky is high and the earth is thick! I’m telling you, you wretched woman, I remember your face now, you, and Yun Chu! Aren’t you guys from the medical college? Haha..."

Ye Ruiming said coldly, "I guarantee you will never graduate, let alone work in a hospital!"

His rebuke didn’t scare Lu Xiaoer, but Yun Chu’s expression instantly changed from fear.

Ye Ruiming glanced over and seeing Yun Chu’s terrified state, he seemed to gain a sense of accomplishment, "Xiao Chu, you and your friend, you’ve been too much tonight."

"Sorry, sorry, Rui... Ye, Young Master Ye, really sorry."

"If saying sorry was useful, what would we need the police for!"

Ye Ruiming suddenly raised his voice to a shout, and the shout stunned Yun Chu, making her head spin and her legs go weak,

"Young Master Ye, what... what do you want us to do, we can..."

"Yun Chu, shut your mouth!"

Lu Xiaoer really couldn’t stand to listen to Yun Chu’s groveling pleas anymore.

Chided by Lu Xiaoer, Yun Chu was rendered speechless as tears rolled down in her eyes, large as could be!

"Ye Ruiming, I’m telling you, I’ve seen plenty like you who rely on their family background to bully others, privileged second-generation rich kids with no skills. Living for over twenty years without achieving anything, only knowing how to squander your parents’ money, power, and even their reputation and prestige! People like you, drinking MARTINI, driving luxury cars, but are the most shameless parasites."

"..."

"I’m giving you one chance, let go."

Lu Xiaoer glanced at the hand Ye Ruiming had gripping her wrist.

Ye Ruiming had never suffered such an insult. Being taken down by Lu Xiaoer today, he would never accept it.

"I see you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Ye Ruiming’s eyes were bloodshot and he was even more forceful, utterly choking her with brute force.

"Lock the door!"

Ye Ruiming yelled, and then a barmaid ran to the door and locked it.

"With your razor-sharp tongue! You’re so capable for a woman, good... then I want to see what you look like when you’re scared! This young master will strip you bare right now! You care so much about loyalty, not wanting Yun Chu to accompany me, then you should accompany me yourself. I want to see if your mouth can still talk—" Bang!

Everything happened in the span of two seconds.

Ye Ruiming’s unguarded mouth spewing those filthy words hadn’t finished speaking before Lu Xiaoer swung the empty bottle in her left hand right into Ye Ruiming’s head!

Everyone in the private room held their breath for a moment.

Zhongli Wuzhi watched all this unfold with his own eyes, it happened too fast for anyone to react.

Then, Ye Ruiming let go of Lu Xiaoer and immediately clutched his head.

Blood gushed out between his hands holding his head.

The scene directly reduced the present Yun Chu to tears.

After a suffocating two seconds, Ye Ruiming cried out in pain, followed by the screams and fleeing sounds of several bar girls!

The door to the private room opened, and the barmaids ran straight out!

Zhongli Wuzhi also quickly stood up,

"Call an ambulance!"

He urgently instructed another friend.

"You, you..."

"Someone like you, scum, you’re even polluting the air!"

Who on earth is she...

Zhongli Wuzhi had seen the world before. A bottle crashing onto someone’s head could have serious or minor consequences, and she was a medical student... Had she not hesitated at all before taking action?

"Relax, with the thickness of that bottle, it won’t kill anyone!"

She noticed Zhongli Wuzhi’s dubious gaze and snorted coldly, explaining herself.

"..."

Zhongli Wuzhi was at a loss for words.

"Ye Ruiming, I advise you to steer clear of me from now on. And it’s not just about Yun Chu. If you dare touch any girl from our school, just try it."

"You, you...! You!"

Ye Ruiming was busy holding his head in pain, glaring at Ye Ruiming.

"And, you wanted to know my name, didn’t you?"

She walked up to Ye Ruiming, still holding the bottle by its mouth, the uneven, jagged edge of the broken glass looking like a weapon.

"My name is Lu Xiaoer. It’s the ’lu’ from ’milu deer,’ the ’lu’ from ’giraffe,’ and ’xiaoer’ is the ’ear’ next to a ’prince.’ Remember it well. Come find me for the medical bill after you get treated."

"..."

She was expected to leave after speaking, but she paused in her steps, her gaze settling on Zhongli Wuzhi.

She looked him up and down,

"So this is what the young master of the Zhongli Family enjoys doing in his leisure time..."

"..."

...

"That’s about it... I was despised by her."

Zhongli Wuzhi shrugged helplessly, recalling his first official impression of her, still feeling thrilled.

"Intentionally injuring someone is punishable by law in our country."

Chinian had been patiently listening to Zhongli Wuzhi’s story, but after a long silence, he responded with such a remark.

Zhongli Wuzhi smiled slightly,

"Yes, intentional injury can lead to incarceration, but my friend won’t press charges against Xiaoer. What he did was a hundred times worse than what Xiaoer did."

"..."

"Actually, when I thought about it carefully later, her final words were not just contempt; they were probably more about disappointment and reproach."

"Why?"

"Perhaps in her heart, she thought that Zhongli Wuzhi, the Zhongli Family’s young master, should be someone brave enough to stand up for justice, someone who dares to uphold righteousness."

Zhongli Wuzhi’s gaze drifted away...

"Do you regret not leaving a good impression on her?"

"I’ve always regretted it."

A heaviness fell on Chinian’s heart.

"Xiaoer is the only person who has made me feel like I’ve made too many mistakes in my twenty-something years of life."

There was almost no expression left on Chinian’s face.

"You know... men can sometimes be very childish and rebellious, often mockingly scoffing at people who are too upright, always feeling that only those who dare to do bad things are real men."

"..."

"Xiaoer, righteousness, passion, kindness, these words seem very ordinary, but when they truly become a person’s qualities, they can make someone very charismatic, something to yearn for..."

Zhongli Wuzhi’s eyes shone as he spoke about Lu Xiaoer.

Chinian, looking at him from the side, felt this light was especially brilliant.

And in stark contrast to this brilliance... was the gloom in his own heart.
