Chu Ning could only agree to her brother's love and care. Then, she grudgingly watched Big Brother leave.
When she turned around, she almost bumped into someone. Chu Ning took a few deep breaths to calm her spooked heart. Before she could speak, the person spoke first, "Are you blind? Don't you watch where you're going?"
Chu Ning raised her head and saw an ordinary-looking man. His face was pale, his cheeks were thin, and there were huge eyebags beneath his eyes. They looked like they were about to fall off his face.
Chu Ning was puzzled. Was this the shrewdness and scheming that Big Brother had mentioned? This didn't seem like it.
Chu Ning did not see him on the guest list, but she did not act rashly. It was true that she had not noticed him when she had turned around. Chu Ning apologized to the person in front of her in a nice tone, "Sir, I'm really sorry. I wasn't paying attention and almost bumped into you."
The other party did not speak for more than half a minute. Chu Ning thought that this matter was over. She was about to leave when she was grabbed by a pair of hands. Chu Ning turned around in pain and found that the owner of the hands was the man who had almost been bumped into.
At this moment, he had a lewd smile on his face, and he was using increasingly greater force. Chu Ning furrowed her brows, feeling the pain in her arm. She abruptly swung her arm and shook off the man's hands.
Chu Ning took a step back and frowned. She said frostily, "Sir, please have some self-respect."
Chu Ning didn't want to say anything more. She just wanted to stay away from this person, but he put his hand on her shoulder again.
Chu Ning impatiently shook off the hand on her shoulder. She didn't know if he was ill, but his hand was as cold as a corpse. "Sir, don't go too far."
The man finally spoke. His voice was sharp and hollow, like a poisonous snake on the throes of death, sticky and sinister. "Miss, you want to leave after bumping into me. How can there be such a good thing?"
Chu Ning was sickened by this voice. She held back her revulsion and coldly said, "Sir, I merely almost bumped into you. There was no physical collision, and I have already apologized."
The man's vulgar gaze shifted from Chu Ning's face to her shoulders, then to her slender waist that was tightly wrapped in the gown, his gaze lingering on her repeatedly. Chu Ning felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.
Chu Ning no longer want to talk about manners with such a person anymore. She turned around and left.
However, the repulsive man caught up and pulled at Chu Ning once more. He was like a piece of snot that could not be shaken off. It was disgusting.
Chu Ning's patience was gone. She forcefully shook him off and said sternly, "What are you doing! If you touch me again, I'll call for help!"
That person also kept away the perverse smile on his face. He sized up Chu Ning and said arrogantly, "You bumped into me. An apology won't resolve it." As if he was bestowing a gift upon her, he said condescendingly, "I don't care about your looks. If you follow me, I won't let you suffer."
Chu Ning's blood boiled. "What did you say?"
Chu Ning's anger was like a fierce horse in the man's eyes. It was just that the taming process was more fun. He smiled even more obscenely. "Oh, you also have a temper? Women like you rely on men to get into such a banquet, right? It's just changing the person you're leaning on; don't tell me it's making things difficult for you?"
Seeing that the fury in Chu Ning's eyes was getting more and more intense, he felt that it was not enough and continued to add fuel to the fire. "I'm the eldest son of the Yun family in B City. When I take over the Yun family, you can be the second wife and enjoy all the glory and wealth."
Chu Ning almost couldn't control her fists. She raised her voice, her rage reaching its peak. "Assistance, please!"
The waiters and bodyguards at the side of the venue rushed up almost immediately. They had long received news from their boss that because there was a mistake in the invitation card, in order to make up for the mistake, they had to pay special attention to this Ms. Chu and make her feel at home.
The leading waiter immediately bowed. "Ms. Chu, what's the matter?"
Chu Ning's chest heaved violently, and her anger was about to burn up. "This person is verbally harassing me. I want to see Mr. Su Ming. If this matter cannot be resolved appropriately, then I will leave the cruise ship."
