"Get out of the way!"
Cen Luli was spoiled by her parents since she was a child. In addition to her older brother, she is the only daughter in the family. They doted on her and were afraid of hurting her, they pampered her and were afraid of spoiling her, they couldn't bear for her to suffer even a little bit, let alone be wronged.
It's because of such pampering that her personality has become overbearing and arrogant, with few friends... and Ji Xuewei is one of the only two friends she has, precisely because of Ji Xuewei's gentle and non-confrontational nature, which arouses her protective instincts.
Now that she sees this woman bullying Xuewei without restraint and snatching her man, she certainly won't let it go!
"Letting you go is fine, but you must swear that from now on, you will never cross paths with Xuewei again, and especially not seduce her man!"
Ji Xiaoli sneered, she had seen foolish people before, but never as foolish as this! Ji Xuewei looked gentle and weak on the surface, but in reality, she was more cunning than anyone else. She didn't bully herself, which was already a good thing... And yet, there were still people like Si Tu Liu who thought she was a good person to get along with, without realizing that one day they would be sold out and still help count the money!
"What's with that look! Let me tell you, don't think too highly of yourself! You're just an orphan adopted by Professor Ji, what are you worth? You're just relying on your looks to flirt with men! Last time it was Qin Sanbo who was hovering around you, and now it's...!" Taking advantage of one's position to bully others, this move was something that Situ Liuli was extremely skilled at.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to slap me again like last time at the banquet?" Ji Xiaoli coldly snorted, last time she was caught off guard and slapped by this woman, but that doesn't mean she'll stand there stupidly and let her be bullied again!
"What's the big deal! Are you still not satisfied!" Si Tu Liu Li's face darkened, her eyes full of hatred towards this woman, she raised her hand and slapped her.
The same mistake can be made once, but it cannot be made a second time.
Situ Luli's ability to throw people doesn't necessarily mean she has great strength, as Ji Xiaoli grabbed her hand in mid-air and immediately swung it back with force.
"You! You dare hit me!" From young to old, no one has ever dared to slap her face, and this woman actually dares to!
Ji Xiaoli shrugged, "I didn't think of hitting you, but you almost crawled onto my head. I just gave you a lesson... although soft persimmons are easy to squeeze, it doesn't mean I'm a soft persimmon!"
After finishing speaking, Ji Xiaoli turned around and left. At this time, the door of a private room opened, and two middle-aged men in their 40s or 50s walked out from inside. When Situ Liuli saw her father come out, she immediately rushed over and shouted loudly: "Dad, this woman just slapped me... She also scolded me, one side of my face is swollen, you have to help me!"
Situ Luli is not alone, otherwise she wouldn't be so arrogant. It's precisely because she knows her father will help her out!
In fact, Situ Guang was indeed a loving father, usually doting on his daughter to the point where he would be heartbroken if she even lost a single hair. Now seeing the clear palm print on her face, he was furious and his face suddenly turned dark: "Who did this?!"
Situ Liuli took advantage of the situation and pointed at Ji Xiaoli, but Ji Xiaoli didn't regret hitting Situ. She was just speechless that the entire Situ family were this kind of people, relying on their power to bully others without any shame.
She couldn't leave even if she wanted to, as Situ Guang had already walked over, accompanied by a department head from the municipal bureau who was familiar with the Situ family. Seeing the father-daughter duo's gloomy faces, he intervened: "Situ, although this matter has wronged your daughter, it's just a trivial matter among young people. Let Luli return and that's it! After all, the guests at the banquet are all high-ranking officials, and if word gets out, it won't sound good."
That deputy director was originally just a second-line secretary to the mayor of a neighboring city, and now he has been transferred to the capital. Even if it's just a deputy director, that position is still impressive... It's not easy to get to this point, and he doesn't want to offend some powerful family because of the Shi family, after all, it's under the emperor's feet, who knows what will happen next.
Situ Guang hesitated for a moment, and his heart still ached for his daughter, but his business trip was crucial. It's said that officials and merchants collude; if it were just merchants without the help of officials, many things wouldn't be so smooth.
He patted his daughter's shoulder and said with a sympathetic tone, "Baby girl, if you feel angry in your heart, just bring him to the private room and slap him a few times, how about that?"
Situ Luli's eyes narrowed, "Alright, then bring her in! I still have accounts to settle with her slowly!"
Situ Guang had already called over two bodyguards, preparing to quietly take the person away. Now that there were no people in the corridor, it was more convenient to make a move. However, he hadn't thought that among those who could come here, there would be a few who really didn't have any status, and could humiliate him!
Ji Xiaoli had been watching the conversation with a cold eye, but when someone came to grab her, she couldn't help but struggle: "Is this General Manager Situ? I didn't expect your daughter to be so reckless and you're following suit! If you don't want to make a scene, aren't you afraid that I'll shout out loud and attract everyone's attention?! Moreover, do you really think I'm dead?! You think I won't speak up about this matter, but when the time comes, it will definitely not be a small commotion!"
"You're threatening me!" Sito Kwong hated nothing more than being threatened. He had a quick temper and often offended people, but he usually endured it. However, for a young whippersnapper like this, he hadn't seen anything to be particularly afraid of.
Ji Xiaoli looked at that person staring over and instead laughed in extreme anger: "If General Manager Situ thinks so, then it is."
"Great! Great! She hit my daughter and still wants to be kind? There's no such cheap deal in this world! Come on, take her away!"
Ji Xiaoli's shoulders were pinned down, unable to move at all. She wanted to shout, but her mouth was stuffed with a towel. It seemed that Situ Guang really intended to deal with her. As she swept her gaze around, Situ Qiu's sinister eyes scanned over in response.
"Situ, little brother, will this matter pass?" The director kindly mentioned it.
But little did he know, Situ Guang waved his hand and revealed an angry expression: "Originally I also wanted to be kind, give her a lesson and that's it! But this hairy girl actually dared to threaten me, humph! Since Liu Li wants to teach her a lesson, then let her. What can one stinky girl stir up anyway?"
"What if... there are surveillance cameras here, what if they investigate?" It wasn't that he was afraid, but having been an official for a long time, he always had a cautious heart.
Situ Guang smiled and obviously didn't plan to mention it again: "It's not like she's going to lose her life! It's just a lesson. Let's not talk about this, let's discuss that matter at the development zone..."
In fact, at the moment when she was about to be dragged away, Ji Xiaoli felt that she was really finished, and her heart was a little flustered. She saw the leather whip in Situ Qiongli's hand, if that whip came down, she would definitely be in big trouble. If only she had known earlier, why bother going to the bathroom? Just stay honestly in the private room, but how could she have predicted this?
The private room door slammed shut, and Ji Xiaoli was kicked to the ground by someone. Si Tu Liu Li sneered, using her whip to lift up Ji's chin, "Weren't you even more ruthless than me just now? Why aren't you making a sound now? If you had been obedient earlier, how would this have happened?"
A towel was stuffed into her mouth, and Ji Xiaoli couldn't make a sound. Especially when she saw that Situ Qiongli had actually dipped the whip in white wine, her heart felt even more numb... She had known that this woman was a bit neurotic, but being whipped with a whip soaked in high-proof liquor would definitely strip off a layer of skin, and she was so shocked that she involuntarily retreated several steps.
"Scared? You're looking at me with this kind of gaze before the show has even started... I'd rather take a picture of your wretched appearance to show Xue Wei, this is her arrogant good sister... Seduce men? Can you still seduce anyone looking like that?" Si Tu Liu Li's mouth hardened, and she exerted force in her hand, whipping the whip heavily over.
Originally the weather was still in late August, Ji Xiao Li only wore a dress, that whip came down and directly hit her skin, she cried out in pain, hurting so much that she gasped for air... no need to look, her skin must have been lacerated.
She suddenly thought of the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty, and she was already in so much pain from being flogged with a whip, and it was only the first lash. If they were to give her several dozen lashes, she estimated that she would probably be on the verge of losing her breath.
At this time, several people outside were eating and drinking, when they heard a loud whip cracking from inside, they couldn't help but be startled: "Liu Li shouldn't have gone that far, this is a banquet hall, it's Wei Shao's property..."
"Yes, it's not just anyone who can come here... what if that woman has some connections, we're in trouble!"
Situ Guang was still hesitant, but thinking of the palm print on his daughter's face, he couldn't help but become more determined, thinking that he must let his daughter get revenge first.
"No rush, everyone eat first... I have a plan in mind, and Luliu isn't someone who doesn't understand things, she naturally knows what's important." But the old friends didn't think so. Everyone knew about Situ Luliu's wild nature, so they all warned their own children to stay away from this girl.
At this moment in the treasure room, Qin San Ye had a faint feeling that something was off. Xiao Ya Tou had only gone to the bathroom, but why hadn't she come back for so long? He couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.
"It's been so long, and now you're thinking of marrying a wife... Third Brother, this time you've really fallen deeply in love!" The four young masters of the capital city back then have now dispersed one after another. Although they are not all based in the capital, their reputation still remains. Only Qin San's marriage will definitely shock many people when it gets out.
Qin Zhenyang ignored him and said, "No!"
His intuition has always been accurate, and it's not just when he's on a mission. This time, he seems to have really sensed something.
"Not true... Am I wrong, Third Brother? Don't lie to me, my eyes saw it all!" Wei Shao was a bit drunk and his tongue was getting bigger.
He was suddenly lifted up by his collar and stood up, Qin San Ye's face cold: "Follow me out for a trip!"
"What's going on?"
All the real estate bosses were also confused, watching Qin San Ye carrying Wei Da Shao out of the box like a small chicken, this momentum is absolutely not comparable to ordinary people.
However, the two main characters have left, and the bosses can only eat and drink what they should, waiting for everyone to arrive before leaving.
Qin Zhenyang had just come out of the private room when Wei Lin asked with a big tongue: "What's all this about... what happened?"
"Your sister-in-law might be in trouble!"
Wei Da was initially skeptical, after all, someone dared to make trouble on his turf must have been tired of living! But that guy who made a mistake had indeed been gone for a long time...
"Or should I get someone to check the surveillance footage?"
Qin San nodded, and at this time a woman wearing a waitress uniform walked over, fawningly saying: "Is this Third Master Qin? Just now I passed by here and saw the young lady who came with you being 'invited' to room 006..."
The words were naturally meaningful, and the two of them couldn't help but notice something was off. Qin Zhenyang's face immediately changed, and with a long stride, he walked towards room 006.
Wei Lin saw the great change in his expression and comforted him, saying: "Third brother, don't think too much, these years no one has made any trouble here... maybe it's an acquaintance, not necessarily you..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Qin San Ye kicked open the door of room 006 without even knocking.
