Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Ku’er (Part 1)

“Oh really?” Zhang Peiwen smiled contemptuously and said to Liu Xingyu coldly, “Xingyu, get over here.”

Liu Xingyu leaned a step towards Guo Xiang and said in disgust. “Don’t call me by my name, I don’t know you!”

Zhang Peiwen said angrily, “What did you say? !”

Xingyu clasped Guo Xiang’s arm tightly and repeated it, “I said I don’t know you! What my dad and my elder brother decided does not mean that I agree to it. My own future will be decided by myself. So you can stop wasting your energy and order me around. I am not your servant!”

I almost applauded. I didn’t expect that Liu Xingyu, who looked like a weak scholarly girl, was so determined when it came to her relationship matters. Compared to her, Guo Xiang’s behavior looked like a coward. However, although he was a man, he was also a boss who had several hundreds of employees. He had his difficulties and concerns.

Being liked by such a faithful girl like Xingyu, Lao Guo was very lucky. As a friend, I should help him.

“You bitch!”

Losing his face in front of other people, Zhang Peiwen became angry. But he was held back by the white-clothed young master who was punched by the gardener. “Since Young Master Liu is here too, we can discuss this matter later. For now, let me teach that servant and that little crazy bastard who dirtied my clothes a lesson! Just what kind of servants do the Long family hire? Each is more ill-bred than the other. Today, I will help Long Xiaotian to educate them!”

When the old woman heard that they still didn’t want to let go of her grandchild, she was so scared that she began to cry again; she couldn’t even say any words to beg them.

Compared with Long Xiaotian, because of some other reasons, Guo Xiang didn’t dare to offend the young masters of the Zhang family even more. So even though he wanted to get involved and stop them, at the moment, he could only clench his hands tightly. Seeing this, I patted his shoulder with a smile, walked past him, and greeted the white-clothed young master. “Yo! Isn’t this the deputy general manager Zhang of Fengchang Group? Long time no see, how have you been?”

The face of the white-clothed young master, who was walking towards the old woman and Ku’er angrily, suddenly turned pale when he saw me. It was as if he had seen a ghost. He was shocked and instinctively took a step back. Then there was a panic on his face. He seemed to be so scared that he could not even say a sentence properly, “Chu, Chu, Chu. . .”

“It’s you? !” Zhang Peiwen was more surprised than his elder brother. Come to think of it, the evidence of him wanting to rape Mo Fei’s mother Wu Xueqing was still in my hand, not to mention that he was beaten up by me outside the bar that night, so it was understandable that he could still be able to remember me.

In order to help Lao Guo to regain his honor, and helped Xingyu to vent her grievance, I walked toward Zhang Peiwen with a smile. Looking at him like an approachable uncle looking at a kid, I used my right hand to pat his handsome face a few times, but because I used some strength, every time my palm came into contact with his facial skin, it would cause a clear and crispy sound. “So this handsome young man is Young Master Zhang’s brother? He sure has a fine and talented look just like Young Master Zhang. Look at this face, so handsome. It has all the necessary components. . .”

Being handsome was not necessarily a sin, but as far as most people’s psychology was concerned, “being more handsome than me” must be a sin. I was one of those people. So when looking at those handsome faces, I could not help but wonder, ‘god damn it, why do all bastards have such handsome faces?’

People often said that destiny would make enemies meet. But I didn’t expect that my enemies were from the same family. This also made me very curious.

Those onlookers were either the followers of the two brothers or the people who wanted to curry favor with them. But seeing that Zhang Peiwen was obviously insulted by me, no one came out to stop me. Although Zhang Peiwen was angry and felt humiliated, those feelings were still not as intense as fear, so not only did he not dare to resist, he didn’t even dare to dodge.

Seeing that Zhang Peiwen, who was still very arrogant earlier, was very obedient like a puppy under my slap, Zhang Mingjie, Guo Xiang, and Liu Xingyu, were all stunned. They could not believe it at all. I just pretended that I did not know Zhang Peiwen, turned my head to Zhang Mingjie and smiled, “Young Master Zhang, I thought you would rest for a few days at least because of the shock a few days ago. But I didn’t expect you to be so dedicated and immediately came back to work hard for the company. I admire your dedication very much.”

While I indirectly mocked him that someone threw feces at him a few days ago, I also ridiculed him that what he did earlier would clearly harm Fengchang Corporate Group’s reputation. Everyone at the scene was discerning people; how could they not tell what I was talking about? There were even people who started to recognize me. They pointed to me in surprise while whispering to each other, “This person seems to be Chu Nan!”

“Chu Nan? Is it the guy who instructed people to throw feces at young master Zhang?”

“Is he the guy who dumped Fengchang’s Miss Mo?”

“Oh my god, why is he here?”

The noble woman who helped Zhang Mingjie looked at me in surprise. She let out a soft cry and hurried back a few steps as if Zhang Mingjie was covered with feces. This reaction undoubtedly hurt Zhang Mingjie’s self-esteem, and his face became more and more livid, but in front of me, he did not dare to say anything.

Seeing that I didn’t seem to want to expose his secret, Zhang Peiwen breathed a sigh of relief. But hearing the discussion, he couldn’t help asking Zhang Mingjie in surprise, “Elder Brother, blackmail. . . Cough, is he the Chu Nan you mentioned?!”

Come to think of it, Zhang Peiwen didn’t seem to know my last name before.

Zhang Mingjie nodded without saying anything. It seemed like he decided to endure my behavior lest I would cause an even bigger problem to him. But how would I let him go easily? I blocked the gardener behind me and asked pretentiously, “Who made Young Master Zhang so angry? I could hear Young Master Zhang’s angry shout from afar. It is even louder than a dog’s bark.”

Hearing that I compared Zhang Mingjie’s angry shout with a dog’s barks, Xingyu couldn’t help but burst out giggling. Although rumor said that I played Zhang Mingjie like a toy, and he couldn’t do anything to me, when she saw it in person, it had an entirely different feeling. I guessed that if I told her again that rumors were all fake, she would not believe me anymore.

“Assistant Chu. . . No, Young Master Chu, this is a personal matter between me and the servants of the Long family. It has nothing to do with you, right? ”

“Servants? What servants? Do you mean those workers? What kind of personal matter do you have with them? Young Master Zhang, are you here to attend this party on behalf of the company? Punching and kicking a child, even if you are not ashamed of yourself, you need to at least think about the image of the company, right?” I sneered coldly, “Seeing you bullying the weak and someone taking action out of righteousness, isn’t this normal?”

Although I was no longer working for Fengchang, Zhang Mingjie didn’t dare to say it. So he who knew clearly that what he did was wrong could not find any reasons to refute me. Moreover, it would not look good for him if he still wanted to argue with the gardener. But he still wanted to save his face, “That punk hit me because he didn’t know what happened. Young Master Chu, you probably don’t know, that little bastard dirtied my clothes with something greasy. I just asked him to throw away that greasy thing, but he pretended to be dumb and said. . . He said that I’m much paler than his dog, and my shout is even scarier than his dog’s bark! How can I not be angry at this! I was trying to be nice, but he mocked me in front of so many friends of mine. Anyone would be angry at this, right?”

The richer and the more powerful a person was, the more they cared about their own face. It was really unacceptable to be called a dog by someone who was clearly in the wrong. The sleeve that Zhang Mingjie showed me clearly had a big greasy stain, and it also wasn’t very likely for him to immediately hit the kid in front of so many people. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but frown. Looking back at the old woman and the kid, I couldn’t help but think, could it be that this kid was really a troublemaker?

The young gardener beside me said coldly to Zhang Mingjie, “Even if what she did was wrong, you are a big man, how can you beat up a little girl?”

“A girl?”

I was dazed for a second. Then I could not help but look at the kid in the old woman’s arms more carefully again. It was really a girl. Because of her fast running speed, I mistakenly thought that she was a naughty boy. . .

The skinny girl’s tender face was covered with mud. It was probably caused by Zhang Mingjie’s kick. There was a small cut at the corner of her eye, and her left eye could only be slightly open. Her face was swollen and the blood was still running down from her nose, however, she didn’t seem to care about it. She simply let the cry old woman clean her wound at the corner of her eye. She didn’t cry out, just smile foolishly while looking at her grandma with her dull eyes.

She seemed to have lost her shoes during the chase earlier. Her little feet were very dirty. The bloody cuts could be clearly seen under her feet. Half of her shoulder drooped limply. It was obvious that it had been injured by the kick, but she still hugged her chest tightly, protecting the things in her arms.

I could not imagine how a girl who was at most ten years old could endure the pain, and why was she still smiling?

Xingyu’s eyes teared up. She quickly ran over, took off her long silk gloves, and used them as a handkerchief. While wiping the blood marks on Ku’er’s feet, she asked distressingly, “Little girl, does it hurt?”

Ku’er didn’t answer Xingyu, but looked at her grandmother and smiled happily. I couldn’t help but tremble, and my heart dropped suddenly.

The old woman did not look at the realization on the faces of the people around her. Ignoring all the gazes of pity, sympathy, or disgust, she stroked the short hair of Ku’er lovingly and whispered, “Ku’er, why did you want to run away and steal other people’s things? Didn’t grandma tell you that there are many important guests today? You can’t go out and run around. . .”

“Meat. . .” Ku’er opened her arms and handed the things in her arms to the old woman, smiling, “Grandma, poor health, should eat more meat. Grandma, cough, grandma should eat more meat. . .”

Xingyu could no longer hold back her tears. The little girl was holding a piece of beef in her arms like it was the most precious thing. It was just a piece of freshly roasted beef. She tilted her head and smiled as if waiting for her grandma to praise her. Both of her forearms were burned red by the intense heat from the meat, but she didn’t seem to be able to feel it.

Even if she was kicked and stepped on the ground by Zhang Mingjie, she didn’t let the small piece of roasted meat drop on the ground. It was all just because it was meat for her grandma. . .

The old woman was already in tears, but she desperately wanted to stop herself from crying out. Throwing away the meat in Ku’er’s hands, she hugged the child tightly in her arms, “Grandma doesn’t want meat, Grandma just wants Ku’er. . . My Ku’er. Why are you so silly…”
