Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 196 The Imperial Capital is Too Small!
After leaving the set, Zhao Zixuan and "Xia Zhu" got into the Rolls-Royce business car driven by Huang Yingying.

Ding Xiaoying had known Huang Yingying for a long time. As an important person in charge of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the latter always had the final say on the set.

However, today, this high-ranking person in charge actually drove the car for Zhao Zixuan himself, and his attitude was humble and respectful...

This contrast surprised Ding Xiaoying for a moment, but she soon calmed down.

At this time, the car was driving on the road. Ding Xiaoying, who was sitting in the car, picked up two exquisite coupons with a smile and said to Zhao Zixuan who was sitting next to her: "These two coupons are from Yang Chuchu, right?"

Zhao Zixuan admired Ding Xiaoying's outfit today and felt that her temperament and image were even more outstanding than the original Xia Zhu.

His eyes lit up involuntarily, and he responded calmly, "Since she gave it to me, it's naturally mine. Is there any problem?"

Ding Xiaoying smiled and shook her head: "No problem, you are really good at talking, no wonder so many girls are fascinated by you."

You can take other people's things so confidently.

Impressed.

He is worthy of being praised as the legendary "Prince McLaren" by a group of enthusiasts at the Chinese Academy of Drama as soon as the school started.

Zhao Zixuan turned his head and glanced at her, then said jokingly, "Do you include me among these girls?"

Ding Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him: "Of course not including me, I'm not as superficial as them."

Zhao Zixuan pretended to be dissatisfied: "What do you mean by superficial? Is liking me superficial?"

Ding Xiaoying waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

Zhao Zixuan continued to tease, "I remember we had a very happy chat when we first met. Why do you seem so restrained now?"

Ding Xiaoying explained: "How can it be the same? At that time, I didn't know you were a big boss. I thought you were just like me, an ordinary college student. I didn't expect you to be so secretive. Sigh! Now that I think about it, I was really blind!"

Zhao Zixuan said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to think of me as a big boss. As a boss, I am nothing special except for a few stinky money. I am very superficial."

"Pfft!" Ding Xiaoying was amused by his humor. She could naturally tell that the "superficial" was intentional.

During the relaxed conversation, Ding Xiaoying's mood gradually relaxed. The feeling Zhao Zixuan gave her was completely different from those arrogant and domineering big bosses. His approachable manner made her feel cordial.

Their conversation was like that of old friends reuniting after a long separation. The topics came one after another, as if they were chewing Xuanmai and could not stop at all.

Until the car slowly stopped, Huang Yingying's voice interrupted their conversation: "Boss, we're at the Four Seasons Hotel."

After hearing this, Zhao Zixuan took Ding Xiaoying out of the car, and the two of them walked into the buffet restaurant of the five-star hotel chatting and laughing.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Zixuan's attention was attracted by two people not far away, a man and a woman, obviously a couple, but their expressions seemed a little wrong, as if they were arguing.

Although the arrival of Zhao Zixuan and Ding Xiaoying attracted their attention, they had no intention of coming over to say hello.

"Is that your friend?"

Ding Xiaoying observed Zhao Zixuan's expression and asked tentatively.

Zhao Zixuan shook his head slightly, "Not really, I can only say he's a friend of a friend."

After hearing this answer, Ding Xiaoying did not ask any more questions, but started to choose the buffet with Zhao Zixuan.

The restaurant has a wide variety of food, including all kinds of seafood, lobsters, crabs, oysters, scallops...

Zhao Zixuan didn't choose too much, just picked up some crabs and oysters at random, and his eyes would occasionally look at the couple.

Ding Xiaoying keenly caught the subtle change in Zhao Zixuan's expression and asked curiously, "Is he really not your friend?"

Zhao Zixuan shook his head slightly and explained frankly: "We are not really friends. We have only eaten together a few times. We are not familiar with each other."

Ding Xiaoying did not suspect anything and adjusted the food with peace of mind. Then the two of them found a quiet corner to sit down and enjoy the delicious seafood buffet.

However, before she had tasted a few bites of the food, Ding Xiaoying noticed something unusual between the couple.

They were pulling and tugging at each other, the atmosphere was tense, and it seemed that a conflict might break out at any time.

Ding Xiaoying couldn't help but frowned and turned to Zhao Zixuan to ask, "Is the man your friend, or is the woman your friend?"

Zhao Zixuan glanced casually at the other side and said lightly: "Female."

Ding Xiaoying was filled with righteous indignation: "Your friend's friend was bullied, so why don't you go and help?"

Zhao Zixuan calmly analyzed: "They are a couple. Even if we intervene, she may not appreciate it."

At this moment, a crisp slap sounded.

The woman was beaten.

Ding Xiaoying couldn't stand it any longer, she immediately stood up, rushed to the two people fighting, and tried to calm the conflict.

Although Zhao Zixuan felt a little helpless, he could only follow. "Zhao Zixuan, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

The first person to speak was Gu Ze, and the person who was beaten was Tong Yan from the Tsinghua and Peking University Goddess Dormitory. When these two were dating, Zhao Zixuan was also one of the witnesses.

I didn't expect that I would witness their love again in this way today.

It is said that beating is love and scolding is love, and beating and scolding are the same as love.

I gained a lot of experience today.

Before Zhao Zixuan could speak, Ding Xiaoying had already refuted him bluntly: "What do you mean by meddling in other people's business? How can a grown man beating a woman be considered a skill?"

Gu Ze responded coldly: "I beat my girlfriend, what does it have to do with you? Don't think that the man next to you is a gentleman. He actually has a girlfriend, and she is a campus beauty from Peking University or Tsinghua University. Looking at you like this, you still don't know it, right?"

Ding Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Zixuan, and saw that he did not deny it, her heart sank.

But she still responded to Gu Ze firmly: "Don't change the subject. It's wrong to hit a woman! If you dare to touch her again, I will call the police immediately!"

Gu Ze sneered disdainfully: "Don't f*cking scare me. This is a matter between her and me. It's not your turn as an outsider to butt in!"

Ding Xiaoying was so angry that she clenched her teeth and was about to retort.

However, Zhao Zixuan could see that Tong Yan didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

He turned his gaze to Tong Yan and asked softly, "Tong Yan, what do you want me to help you?"

Tong Yan shook her head gently, with a firm tone in her voice: "No, I can handle my own problems. I hope you can keep today's matter a secret for me. In exchange, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."

Zhao Zixuan and Ding Xiaoying looked at each other. The Chinese opera heroine obviously wanted to continue to stand up for Tong Yan, but was pulled back by Zhao Zixuan without any explanation.

The two left the scene together.

Returning to her seat, Ding Xiaoying was still unable to calm down. She looked over there from time to time. The seafood feast in front of her seemed to have lost its former temptation and became dull.

But Zhao Zixuan seemed to be fine. He continued to enjoy the food in front of him, as if everything that happened just now was just a small episode and could not affect his appetite at all.

Ding Xiaoying looked at him eating nonchalantly and couldn't help but ask angrily, "How can you still eat? What is the relationship between those two people?"

She hated men who beat women the most. If Zhao Zixuan hadn't stopped her, she would definitely have gone to find Gu Ze to ask for an explanation.

Zhao Zixuan stopped peeling the crab, looked up at Ding Xiaoying's bright eyes, and responded, "Why do you care so much about Zhou Yu's fight with Huang Gai? If you have the time, you might as well eat two more oysters."

Ding Xiaoying was speechless, then she thought of something and asked again, "That guy just now said that your girlfriend is a beauty from Peking University or Tsinghua University, is that true? Didn't you say you don't date?"

Zhao Zixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you believe what he said?"

Ding Xiaoying answered frankly: "I don't believe it completely. Isn't this to verify you? Is it true?"

Zhao Zixuan chuckled and said, "What's so good about dating? Wouldn't it be nice to play games and make more money? I must be mentally ill to spend so much time dating."

Ding Xiaoying asked curiously, "So what he just said was all a deliberate lie to me?"

Zhao Zixuan shrugged: "It's not a lie, he just doesn't understand my situation and misunderstood me. Believe it or not."

Ding Xiaoying looked at Zhao Zixuan with a hint of smile in her eyes: "I believe what you say."

She had no reason to trust someone she didn't know rather than a friend she could chat with.

After waiting for a few minutes, Tong Yan was the first to step out of the restaurant, and Gu Ze followed closely behind.

Seeing that the two did not have any more conflict, Ding Xiaoying felt relieved and continued to concentrate on enjoying her food.

"Just now, if you hadn't stopped me in time, I might have fought with that guy. Do you believe it?"

Ding Xiaoying's emotions fluctuated slightly, with a hint of tears in her eyes.

Zhao Zixuan didn't expect that she would lose her composure because of this, because Ding Xiaoying usually seemed to be emotionally stable, and she didn't seem like the type of girl who would lose her composure over the slightest thing.

What's more, this matter is someone else's business.

"I believe."

Zhao Zixuan responded calmly: "But are you sure you can beat him?"

Ding Xiaoying suddenly raised her head, stared at Zhao Zixuan firmly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Don't we still have you? I believe that if I really take action, you will definitely not stand idly by. With you here, the two of us should have a great chance of winning against him, right?"

Zhao Zixuan smiled gently and said, "Next time, you'd better just do it directly. That way, I can find an excuse of 'self-defense' to help you."

Ding Xiaoying sighed softly, as if she was lost in some deep memories: "When I was a child, my father often beat my mother. So, what I hate most is men who beat women. In my eyes, such men are really worse than pigs and dogs!"
