Zhang Xiaoshan turned around to see Shen Xinhe with her arms crossed, looking at him with a look of triumph.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems you have quite a deep relationship with this beauty, look how angry you are. What, are you feeling heartache?"
"Shen, are you sick? I kindly helped you, and you screw me over?" Zhang Xiaoshan said angrily, unable to contain his frustration.
Shen Xinhe replied, without the slightest care.
"What are you talking about? When did I ever harm you?"
"Just now, you deliberately twisted the truth, exaggerating the story, just to make Sister Man and me angry at each other, right?"
"Are you satisfied now?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was furious, his face filled with rage.
Sensing his anger, Shen Xinhe immediately stepped back, fear appearing on her beautiful face. With her head down and eyes red, she said in a pitiful tone.
"You, I was just joking with you. Even if I was wrong, you didn’t have to be so fierce, did you?"
"I, I’m leaving tomorrow morning, and it’s uncertain if we can even see each other again. Do you really need to be so harsh with me at our final goodbye?"
"You call her Sister Man so affectionately, but you just call me ’Shen’. Just because I joked with her, you turn against me. Do you really value me so little compared to her?"
As she spoke, big tears fell from her eyes, dropping onto the marble floor below.
Before long, they formed a small puddle.
Zhang Xiaoshan instantly lost his temper.
"Don’t cry, I... I didn’t mean that, you’re really nice, honestly."
"Alright, alright, stop crying. I... I’m sorry, okay? I apologize to you."
"Hee hee hee, that’s more like it."
All of a sudden, Shen Xinhe gave Zhang Xiaoshan a smile.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately realized that Shen Xinhe’s crying was all an act.
"Who’s playing you? I might’ve faked crying, but the grievance was real."
"Or would you prefer to hit me until I really cry?" Follow current novᴇls on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Forget it, let’s drop this unpleasant business, and just eat, alright?"
"You’ve come to your senses."
Shen Xinhe, overjoyed, pulled Zhang Xiaoshan into a hotpot restaurant.
Recalling their first meeting, when Shen Xinhe had stood aloof and untouched by the world, and comparing it to the playful teasing she exhibited now, she seemed like a completely different person.
Perhaps, this was the power of love.
Around nine o’clock, the sky had turned completely dark.
The parking lot outside the shopping mall.
Two Toyota Land Cruisers were parked side by side, and nearby stood a brand-new Ferrari sports car.
The person sitting in the driver’s seat of the Ferrari was Zhang Jian, who had changed his clothes and tended to his injuries, but still looked quite battered.
Sitting in the passenger seat was Big Gold Teeth, who had once helped him with dirty deeds and had now become his good buddy.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s Land Rover had been extorted from Big Gold Teeth.
In the two Prado cars parked alongside, nine fierce thugs were seated.
"Damn it, where’s that kid? Why hasn’t he come out yet? I will only feel satisfied after I break his hands in front of everyone at the shopping mall entrance. How else am I supposed to carry on in the future?" Zhang Jian said through gritted teeth.
Big Gold Teeth chimed in from the side.
"Who would’ve thought there’d be someone in Yang City foolish enough to need a lesson."
Suddenly, Zhang Jian cast an alluring glance at Big Gold Teeth.
His hand found its way onto Big Gold Teeth’s strong thigh.
"I don’t care, I was bullied and you have to stand up for me."
"Heh, baby, don’t worry, I’ll definitely make them pay. How about we go to a hotel tonight? I’m kind of missin’ it."
"That depends on your performance."
Since the last time they took the wrong medicine, their relationship had progressed rapidly, bending more with each encounter.
"Hey, there he is, that’s the kid. Beat him up for me."
Suddenly, Zhang Jian caught sight of Zhang Xiaoshan and Shen Xinhe as they walked out, and he became excited.
"Woah, that woman with him isn’t too shabby. Tie her up and bring her to me. Let’s have fun together."
Zhang Jian rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
After all, a beauty like Shen Xinhe was rare to come by.
He was attracted to her with just one glance.
"That kid, why does he look kind of familiar to me?"
Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan from afar, Big Gold Teeth was troubled by doubt.
Until Zhang Xiaoshan approached the parking lot, right where the Land Rover was parked.
"Damn, isn’t that my car? It’s him, it’s that kid!"
Big Gold Teeth immediately panicked, hastily signaling his men to hold back.
"What are you doing? I told you to go beat up that kid. Do you still want to have fun with me or not?" Zhang Jian said displeased.
With a grave expression, Big Gold Teeth spoke.
"I recognize that kid, it’s him, definitely him."
"You know about his background? That’s great, let’s just go straight to his home and kill his entire family," Zhang Jian said sinisterly.
Big Gold Teeth, looking grimly at Zhang Xiaoshan, asked Zhang Jian.
"Do you still remember the time we kidnapped Jiang Man?"
Zhang Jian immediately got angry and slapped his thigh.
"Of course, I remember. We were so close to success that time, but it got messed up by someone. They even stole my phone with all my incriminating videos on it."
"Damn it, if I ever find him, I’ll make sure he suffers a fate worse than death."
"Well, the person who spoiled our plan is right in front of you," Big Gold Teeth said with a cold expression.
