Chapter 81 You Lost
Zhang Xueqi's words stunned everyone.
They had never imagined that besides yelling at people, Zhang Xueqi could be so brave.
Su Chen was also slightly surprised.
He did not know Zhang Xueqi's background, but from her attire, speech, and behavior, he could guess a lot.
This was a somewhat inferior girl, despite having a face that even stars would envy, and a figure that even devils would be jealous of.
But deep down, she felt inferior.
She didn't even dare to talk much with him, the man who had saved her life.
Girls like her usually didn't come from well-to-do families.
So, what Zhang Xueqi meant by bearing the responsibility was to let whatever they wanted to do to her happen—she showed a resigned attitude to resistance.
Perhaps she understood what she had to face.
Or perhaps she did not.
Because at her age, she was just beginning to see the dark side of society.
Yet she had not seen much of it.
The worst she could imagine might be losing her chastity, or perhaps her life.
But what she didn't know was that there were fates much more terrible than losing one's chastity, even worse than losing one's life.
Su Chen had met such girls before.
Thrown into the fire, living like walking dead, their lives a living hell from which they could never recover.
Seeing the pitiful, tearful-eyed Zhang Xueqi, the boys couldn't help but feel a protective urge.
Wanting to protect this little flower about to face a storm.
But they dared not.
Because the other party was Chen Shuo.
"What nonsense are you talking? I'll take it on with you, Xueqi. I don't believe Chen Shuo would dare to do anything to me!" At this moment, Lin Shuang'er's impetuous temper also flared up.
Her sister is the president of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, he didn't believe that so-called tyrant would dare to touch her.
But inside, she was still a little scared.
Because, just now, Chen Fang did not take Lin Xi seriously at all.
"Exactly, I'll also stay. Then at least we girls can keep each other company!" Li Qianqian was known for being loyal and said so as well.
"Deng Xiaobing, are you going to stay? If you're too scared then leave now, no one will say anything about you!" Li Qianqian said to another boy in the private room.
Deng Xiaobing felt a bit cowardly.
He wasn't actually a rich second-generation—he had been pretending.
To have the chance to mingle with these rich kids, he claimed to be one. This version was sourced from M|V|L^EMPYR.
In reality, his parents were simple, honest farmers.
Wang Wei and Zhou Jian could cause trouble for Chen Shuo and just pull some family strings without much issue.
But he...
He could probably die a miserable death.
His fate wouldn't be much better than Zhang Xueqi's.
Deng Xiaobing was conflicted.
Leaving now would be disloyal, but staying would be courting death.
Some were willing to face it with her, Zhang Xueqi was actually touched.
But she knew, those who stayed were doing so in vain.
"You all go, I alone am enough here." Just then, a calm voice sounded.
It was Su Chen's voice.
"Su Chen, can you handle it?" Lin Shuang'er looked at Su Chen with some concern, although Su Chen had just been awesome.
But there's a saying, a good fighter can't ward off many foes, a hero can't stand up to a multitude.
Chen Shuo boasted he had thousands of underlings.
Among them could be some formidable characters.
"Don't worry, I will be fine," Su Chen said lightly.
"I... will also stay." Zhang Xueqi bit her lip and said.
After all, this incident had started because of her.
She couldn't bear to let Su Chen take it all on alone.
Su Chen took another look at this inferiority-complex-ridden, yet resilient girl and gave a faint smile, saying, "That's fine."
Soon, everyone in the private room had left, leaving only Zhang Xueqi and Su Chen.
Zhang Xueqi was clearly nervous, actually starting to drink from her wine glass.
You should know that since Su Chen entered the private room, up until now, she hadn't seen her drink at all.
"Are you very scared?" Su Chen asked.
"Mhm," Zhang Xueqi nodded.
How could she not be scared?
That was the little overlord of Jiangdu.
"Don't be scared, I'm here." Su Chen had no superfluous words, only these simple five words.
Those five words, however, gave Zhang Xueqi an inexplicable sense of security.
She couldn't help but steal glances at Su Chen.
Was this man really not scared of Chen Shuo at all?
"Do I look good?" Su Chen naturally noticed Zhang Xueqi looking at him.
"You look good," Zhang Xueqi replied softly.
Suddenly, she felt her cheeks heating up.
This kind of conversation seemed a bit flirtatious.
Actually, Zhang Xueqi hadn't found anything particularly special about Su Chen before.
Even his appearance was not as good as Wang Wei's.
But now, after what had just happened, Zhang Xueqi thought Su Chen was handsome.
He had a certain quality that ordinary people did not possess.
What exactly that quality was, she couldn't put into words.
In any case, it made her feel particularly secure, extremely comfortable.
All of the sudden, Zhang Xueqi felt that even if she and Su Chen were to be killed by Chen Shuo's people tonight, it wouldn't matter.
"Shuangshuang, do you think your bodyguard will be okay? Could he be killed by Chen Shuo?" After leaving the KTV, Li Qianqian couldn't help but worry.
"I'm not sure..." Lin Shuang'er had also met Su Chen for the first time and didn't understand him at all.
Apart from knowing he had kicked Guo Taihou's door and walked out of the private room unscathed, then took down several burly men with just a cup of liquor, she knew nothing else.
"Shuangshuang, your bodyguard is so manly. If he makes it through this ordeal, I'll pay double to hire him as my bodyguard!" said another girl who also came from a notable background.
"Yang Jingjing, by the look of it, are you sure you want him to be your bodyguard, not your man?"
"If he survives tonight, he might just barely qualify to be my man, but it's a pity he's just a bodyguard..." Yang Jingjing shook her head with a tinge of disappointment.
A bodyguard was always a profession that couldn't hold its head high, even if she were willing, her family would never agree to let her date a bodyguard.
Listening to the conversation of the girls, Lin Shuang rolled her eyes.
If you knew that the bodyguard you're looking down on happens to be the husband of the most beautiful CEO in Jiangdu, I wonder if you'd be shocked to your core.
Lin Shuang didn't tell her classmates that Su Chen was her brother-in-law, of course, she had her own reasons.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, Chen Shuo might not even come," Li Qianqian said, trying to comfort them.
Would Chen Shuo come?
Of course, he would.
After all, it was his own brother who got beaten up.
It wasn't about how good the relationship between the brothers was.
It was the fact that someone knew it was his brother and still dared to strike, blatantly disregarding him.
This couldn't be tolerated.
Otherwise, he would feel embarrassed to introduce himself as the little overlord of Jiangdu in the future.
In less than half an hour, Chen Shuo arrived with his subordinates at Golden Moon KTV.
As he opened the private room, there were only two people inside.
A man and a woman.
As if they were specifically waiting for him to arrive.
"Was it you who hit my brother?" Chen Shuo squinted and asked.
Without turning his head, Su Chen said to Zhang Xueqi, "You've lost."
PS: Brothers, cast your votes, they won't multiply by sitting idle, your support is what gives Xiao Yao the motivation to continue.
