Chapter 851: 850 is me, I died earlier by bumping my head
G City, Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion
In the second-floor hall, Gu Kai and Wen Jin were halfway through their meal when, glancing over inadvertently, Gu Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of a man and a woman entering through the door, and he gave Wen Jin a meaningful look.
Wen Jin turned her head to follow Gu Kai’s gaze and a flicker of curiosity crossed her eyes, “Is Xiaoxiao starting a new romance?”
“A few days ago, we saw Bai Xiaoxiao on a blind date with that man. I didn’t expect her words were not just spoken in anger,” Gu Kai remarked with a hint of emotion.
The man accompanying Bai Xiaoxiao was none other than Meng Ke.
Their table was two away from Gu Kai and Wen Jin. Bai Xiaoxiao caught sight of them, said something to Meng Ke, and then walked over to greet them.

“Xiaoxiao, are you also dining here with friends?”
Wen Jin asked with a light, concerned tone, a faint smile on her face.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, “Brother Wen, I’ll go ahead.”
After she left, Gu Kai and Wen Jin continued their meal, chatting while occasionally glancing in Bai Xiaoxiao’s direction, noticing that she seemed to be enjoying her conversation with Meng Ke.
Gu Kai considered calling Luo Haofeng but, remembering the grudges from the previous generation that lay between them, he dismissed the idea.
The meal lasted over an hour, and upon leaving, Gu Kai went to the restroom. On his way out, he saw Bai Xiaoxiao and Qi Meiling confronting each other in front of the women’s bathroom.
The air was thick with tension.
“Bai Xiaoxiao, you shameless, promiscuous woman. You’re still entangled with Brother Haofeng while seducing other men. You really have no decency,” Qi Meiling glared at Bai Xiaoxiao hatefully, still resenting the mishap of mistaking Wen Ran for her, which had led her to provoke Mo Xiuchen, a man with a heart of stone.
That evening, Qi Meiling finally encountered Bai Xiaoxiao when she was in her worst mood.
She was not about to let her off easily.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Qi Meiling with a cold laugh, seemingly unangered but rather pitying her, “Qi Meiling, even if I am promiscuous, I’m still better than someone who throws themselves at a man and gets rejected. Calling Haofeng ‘Brother’ so affectionately, yet he did not keep you after you stayed at his place that night. If I were you, rejected even when offering myself, I would’ve already dashed my head to death.”
Qi Meiling turned pale with rage at Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, trembling as she cursed, “Bai Xiaoxiao, you’re truly cheap.” She then raised her hand to slap Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao swiftly stepped back, her mocking smile growing more pronounced, “Hit a nerve, did I? Now you’re lashing out in embarrassment.”
“Bai Xiaoxiao, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
Qi Meiling’s face twisted in fury. Having been spoiled by her parents since childhood and with a brother who nobody dared to mess with, she had never endured such humiliation. Not even when Wen Ran had poured a drink on her had she felt the urge to kill as she did with Bai Xiaoxiao’s words.
She was also being called a prostitute.
As Qi Meiling lunged at Bai Xiaoxiao again, a sharp reprimand suddenly came from the side. Bai Xiaoxiao, startled, turned her head to see Gu Kai striding over, and her expression shifted slightly.
Qi Meiling’s face turned alternately green and white. Of course, she recognized Gu Kai.
Although they hadn’t seen each other for several years, Gu Kai hadn’t changed much, except for becoming more mature and handsome.
Qi Meiling greeted him stiffly. Having been in G City for so many days, she already knew that Wen Ran was Gu Kai’s younger sister, and Bai Xiaoxiao was Wen Ran’s good friend and, of course, also knew Gu Kai.
She glared hatefully at Bai Xiaoxiao, this detestable woman. As soon as she was alone, she would tear her mouth apart.
Bai Xiaoxiao glared back without weakness. She wasn’t afraid of this Qi family woman. Even if Luo Haofeng didn’t like her, even if Luo Haofeng ended up marrying Qi Meiling in the future, Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn’t be scared of her.
“Miss Qi, if Ah Feng knew you stayed in G City just to deal with the girl he likes, do you think he would still care about you?”
Her face turned pale with his words. She pressed her lips together tightly and said harshly, “Brother Haofeng has just been bewitched by her for the moment. Sooner or later, he will forget Bai Xiaoxiao and be with me.”
She had returned to the country for Luo Haofeng, and by any means necessary, she would have Luo Haofeng marry her.
Gu Kai smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, “Then I wish Miss Qi’s wishes come true soon.”
With that, Gu Kai turned to Bai Xiaoxiao, speaking gently, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go.”
“Okay!” Bai Xiaoxiao cast a disdainful glance at Qi Meiling and left with Gu Kai. After walking a distance, Gu Kai finally asked, “How did you and Qi Meiling start arguing?”
Bai Xiaoxiao shrugged, saying indifferently, “Qi Meiling is just a mad dog who bites anyone she sees. Last time she mistook Ranran for me and ended up not bullying Ranran but getting doused with a drink instead. After that, Mo Xiuchen and her uncle’s company broke off their contract, and now it seems she has also fallen out with her cousin. Tonight, she took all her anger out on me.”
“I think she was quite angry with you,” Gu Kai hadn’t heard what they had argued about earlier.
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked and fixed her gaze on Gu Kai’s smiling eyes, “You heard everything just now?” She cursed Qi Meiling to feel more comfortable, but it was somewhat embarrassing that Gu Kai heard it.
“Mm, I heard a sentence or two; don’t worry about it. Maybe if it were Ranran today, I would hope she would also curse Qi Meiling like that.” Gu Kai’s face was filled with joy, feeling that this was a good thing. If one didn’t know how to talk back or fight back when bullied, wouldn’t that be foolish?
Bai Xiaoxiao immediately nodded, “Qi Meiling thinks Ranran and I are easy to bully, which is really laughable. In our own territory, she still wants to bully us.”
“Mm, she shouldn’t act wildly in your territory. Do you need to go back to the hall to find your friend, or shall we just go downstairs from here?”
Gu Kai asked casually, glancing in the direction of the hall.
“No need, I just need to call him and let him know.” Bai Xiaoxiao was no longer in the mood to deal with Meng Ke.
She went down the stairs with Gu Kai and left the restaurant before pulling out her mobile phone to call Meng Ke. Gu Kai gestured toward the parking lot, “Did you drive here, or should I give you a ride home?”
“I didn’t drive.” Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse and followed Gu Kai toward his car. The phone connected, and Meng Ke’s voice came through, “Hello, Xiaoxiao.”
Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows and said coolly, “Meng Ke, something came up, so I’m leaving first. You enjoy your meal.”
“Xiaoxiao, where are you? Wait for me, I’ll take you home.” The moment Meng Ke heard she had to leave, he didn’t hesitate to stand up and signaled the waiter to come over to settle the bill.
