Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Noble Lady of Wealthy Family VS Reborn Foster Daughter (Part 9)
Yuan Xu had no time to deal with the man wailing on the ground.
Feeling somewhat irritable, he had taken a walk outside and was about to smoke a cigarette in the restroom when an inexplicable sensation overwhelmed him.
He always felt as if something bad was happening.
Since childhood, his sixth sense had been remarkably accurate, allowing him to avoid several calamities.
Following his intuition, Yuan Xu walked towards the women’s restroom.
Initially, Yuan Xu hesitated about whether to enter, but the moment his hand touched the doorknob, he noticed something was off—the door was locked from the inside!
All the stalls inside were separate, and theoretically, this main door should not be locked unless for maintenance by the hotel.
With a growing sense of foreboding and no time to think further, Yuan Xu kicked the door open.
Then, he witnessed a scene that nearly made his blood boil.
Gu Shengyin, previously dazzling in the hall, was now cornered by a sleazy man, her expression dazed and cheeks flushed—clearly drugged!
Yuan Xu felt as if all his blood had rushed to his brain at that moment, and he had never been so out of control.
After punching the man to the floor, where he couldn’t get up, he took off his jacket and covered Cheng Xizhi with it.
Little did he know, as soon as Cheng Xizhi saw him, she frowned and then burst into tears in his embrace.
The girl in his arms cried so pitifully that Yuan Xu felt as if his heart was being crushed by her sobs.
Looking at the man on the ground, Yuan Xu knew that Gu Shengyin’s current state wasn’t fit to be seen. He bent down, picked her up, and left the place. As he passed the man on the floor, he paused to take the man’s cellphone and deliberately stamped on the man’s right hand—that was the hand he had seen touching Gu Shengyin.
“Crack!” the sound of bone breaking echoed, ignoring the man’s pig-like wails behind him, Yuan Xu carried Gu Shengyin away.
By the time the crowd in the hall rushed to the scene, they only saw a broken door and a man lying on the ground, rolling around and crying in pain.
Cheng Yiru felt annoyed: she hadn’t expected Cheng Xizhi to be able to escape under such circumstances.
Yuan Xu carried Cheng Xizhi straight through a special passage; the hotel was owned by the Yuen Group, and only a select few knew about this passage.
He brought Gu Shengyin to his private room in the hotel, placed her on the bed, then turned around and went to the bathroom to draw a bath for her.
When he came out, he was momentarily stunned by the sight of the person on the bed.
At that moment, Gu Shengyin’s mind was blurry, and all she felt was heat.
What appeared before Yuan Xu was a body too painful to gaze upon for long.
Yuan Xu felt a rush of blood heat to his head; despite his status, he was no stranger to women throwing themselves at him, but none had ever driven him as madly as Cheng Xizhi did.
Thinking about the girl’s young age, Yuan Xu cursed himself as a beast, wrapped her in a blanket, and placed her in the bathtub already filled with water.
Little did he know, just as he managed to resist his impulses, Gu Shengyin in his arms was not cooperating at all.
In her dazed state, Gu Shengyin sensed Ji Yu’s presence, felt utterly secure, and sensed his attempt to leave and naturally clung to him desperately, refusing to let go.
