Ying Hengyu repeatedly begged for mercy.
An apartment near First High.
Rong Fengmian had barely recovered from a day of lying in the apartment that Rong Meng rented for him when his phone rang.
He answered the call, puzzled, but got up and went downstairs nonetheless.
As soon as he stepped out, a dark object came down over his head.
Rong Fengmian cried out in shock; everything went black as he clawed at the burlap sack that was pinning him.
"Who is it? What do you want?" he said, trembling.
Images of countless people flashed through his mind.
The call was from Rong Meng, but he couldn’t hear her voice now. It was clear someone was using Rong Meng to mess with him.
Rong Fengmian briefly thought of that possibility.
With her ridiculous personality, it could certainly be something she’d do!
Rong Fengmian gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred, "Rong Zhi! Was beating me not enough, now you’re resorting to kidnapping, you truly are a nut—ugh!"
He couldn’t finish the sentence as pain shot through the back of his neck, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
Jiang Gujun slung the limp body over his shoulder, sighed, and shook his head before scoffing, "I really thought he was a good one. Who knew he’s just an ingrate? And you said he’s just a rebellious kid, but do rebellious kids scold their sisters like that?"
As he carried him along, a man with a stature like jade walked beside him with a lazy gait, and lightly nodded at his words, "An ingrate, indeed."
Jiang Gujun raised an eyebrow and threw Rong Fengmian onto his bed at home, "How should we deal with him? Break his arm or his leg?"
Bai Su sucked on a lollipop, his expression calm and his tone nonchalant, "Just give him a lesson."
Since the boy hadn’t touched Rong Fengmian, neither would he.
Jiang Gujun rolled up his sleeves, "Alright then."
Rebellious phase, just a beating would do.
Ten minutes later, the two of them came downstairs. Before leaving, Jiang Gujun thoughtfully left the door wide open, letting the cold wind rush in.
Jiang Gujun checked his watch. It was not yet time to pick up Rong Jiazze from school and without the kids there, he wouldn’t go to the hospital. He turned to Bai Su and asked, "Mr. Su, where are we heading now?"
Bai Su, his eyes lowered, held his phone elegantly with his long, beautiful fingers, mindlessly replied, "Century Square."
The bumper cars at Beluga weren’t starting for another half hour.
The kids and teachers from the welfare home went shopping while Rong Zhi and her two companions were killing time at a nearby milk tea shop.
The teenager removed her mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, her expression aloof and cold, exuding an commanding presence.
She suddenly coughed softly, prompting Bai Tingxun to tense up immediately, "Vice Manager, are you okay?"
Rong Zhi waved it off.
Her throat had been unwell since the morning, and sucking on candies hadn’t helped. She planned to make some medicine for herself when she got home.
Bai Tingxun wanted to say something else but was stopped by a shadow and then two equally attractive men sat across from them.
One of them was of unparalleled beauty, on par with Rong Zhi.
The delicate and graceful face slightly turned, and he naturally and familiarly poked her boss’s face.
What the heck? Teasing??
The tips of Bai Su’s fingers were cool to the touch, his brows slightly furrowed, as his gaze swept down the young girl’s body. Seeing she wore only a thin layer, he couldn’t help but gasp, and without a word, started unbuttoning his coat.
Her voice was hoarse and rough, like sandpaper, not as lazy and sonorous as usual.
Bai Su finished unbuttoning his coat, draped it over her back, and seemingly sighed, coaxing gently with great patience, "Be good, put it on."
He arranged the collar, smiling warmly and broadly, "If you misbehave, I’ll tickle you."
Rong Zhi looked at him impassively for a moment, then raised her arms and put her hands through the sleeves.
Bai Su buttoned it up for her from top to bottom.
The coat was slightly oversized due to their difference in build. It fit loosely over her, covering her frame well, hanging straight down. If it wasn’t for her looks supporting it, it would look like a ’buyer’s remorse’ moment on someone else.
Bai Tingxun inwardly marveled.
A beautiful person can make even a burlap sack look fashionable.
Ying Hengyu had met Bai Su and Jiang Gujun before. Rong Zhi didn’t introduce them further, just mentioned them as friends. Ying Hengyu wasn’t bothered by brothers sharing a coat, so he smiled and greeted Bai Su and the others.
He ordered some extra milk teas on his phone, and the five of them chatted there. Jiang Gujun and Ying Hengyu seemed to hit it off, finding a common topic in no time.
