18. I’m Gonna Beat Him up When I See Him Again

They fought so fiercely, and soon, a lot of people gathered by the door to watch on. However, when they recognized who the two were, those on-lookers hurried to separate them.

Now both Wang Zicheng and Ling Mubai got injured, looking like a total mess.

“Mr. Wang, are you okay? Do you need us to send you to the hospital?” Wang Zicheng’s assistant asked while helping him up.

“I’m alright!” Wang Zicheng looked back at Ling Mubai while pointing at his nose. “Bah! Ling Mubai, you’ll pay for what you’ve done to my girl! Let’s wait and see!”

“We’ll see!” Ling Mubai didn’t defend himself.

When she was pulled out of the box by Wang Zicheng, Qu Wan saw blood on his forehead, which looked terrible.

She was clear that Wang Zicheng had been at a disadvantage all the time in the fight. He had drunk too much, which explained the fact that he was no match for Ling Mubai.

At this moment, she suddenly felt he wasn’t as annoying as before.

When he had covered her with his suit before rushing to Ling Mubai, she even thought this guy was so manly and handsome!

Staying in the box, Ling Mubai was also in a discomfited state with the corner of his mouth bleeding and the area around his eye black and blue.

After finding the emergency medical kit, his assistant started treating his wound. “Mr. Ling, please hold still. The doctor will be here in a minute.”

“No worries. It’s not a big deal.” Ling Mubai gritted his teeth out of anger. Compared to his broken heart, the physical injury was nothing at all.

At the thought of the moment when Qu Wan helped Wang Zicheng up and walked out of the box with him, he suddenly punched the table, which even cracked the glass.

“Mr. Wang thought you were bullying Mrs. Ling, so he initiated the fight,” his assistant explained.

“Shut up! How could you address her as Mrs. Ling? We had divorced a long time ago!” Ling Mubai roared. “It has been three years! Don’t you even know that? Better find yourself a new job before addressing her this way again!”

“Sorry, Mr. Ling! That was just a slip of tongue.”

The assistant lowered his head and apologized to him, but next, he murmured, “Mr. Chen had gone too far! I saw that Mrs.… Miss Qu’s face was bruised and swollen.”

“I won’t spare him for stirring up trouble on my turf!” Thinking of the blood on Qu Wan’s lips, he said furiously with a fierce look in his eyes.

Though he hated Wang Zicheng very much, Ling Mubai admired him when he said, “I can’t even bear to put a finger on her. How dare you slap her!”

“Go find someone to break one of his arms and legs!” Ling Mubai clenched his fists while speaking with a grim look.

Seeing the killing intent in his eyes, the assistant responded with a nod, knowing that Chen Kai was so monumentally screwed.

He was aware that although Mr. Ling didn’t allow him to address Qu Wan as Mrs. Qu, he actually cared about her very much, or he wouldn’t have taken such extreme measures to get back at Chen Kai.

As Chen Kai’s father was the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, no one dared offend him, and he had done all kinds of evil. The assistant knew Chen Kai used to make trouble here, but Mr. Ling had never lost his temper like this.

He couldn’t help but mourn for Chen Kai. If that villain had known that he would lose an arm and a leg as the price for what he had done, he wouldn’t have dared to behave so recklessly.

It wasn’t until he left the nightclub that Wang Zicheng found out the whole story. It turned out that he had gotten Ling Mubai wrong and it was someone else who injured Qu Wan.

“Mr. Wang, you shouldn’t have picked the fight on impulse. The Ling family is the most influential local power and we’re just new here, so I’m afraid that Ling Mubai will give us a hard time later.”

“What’s done is done! Besides, Ling Mubai is a scum and I’m gonna beat him up if I see him again!” Wang Zicheng didn’t seem to take it seriously.

The assistant knew how stubborn his boss was, so he had to give up trying to persuade him.

After sending Qu Wan home, Wang Zicheng said to his driver, covering the wound on his face, “Find some guys to teach that bastard a good lesson. I’ll be glad to see him bleeding!”

“Mr. Wang, Chen Kai is the only son of Director Chen. Why did we invite Director Chen to dinner this evening? Because we need his help! Anyway, I don’t think it’s wise to do so.”

“You’re worried that he might find fault with us behind our back? Even if I do nothing to Chen Kai, Director Chen won’t stand on our side,” Wang Zicheng said with a sneer. “That old fox seemed to have agreed to help us, but he didn’t promise anything. So he didn’t take us seriously at all!” The driver still felt unassured. “Even he won’t help us in the bid this time, we shouldn’t offend him. After all, we need this person if we want to keep a foothold in this city.”

“I’m clear about that.” What he said left the driver speechless at once.

He had worked for his young master for a few years, so he knew better than any outsiders what kind of person Wang Zicheng was.

He looked like a useless foppish childe, but actually, once this uninhibited young man got serious, he would be a force to be reckoned with by any business power.

Everyone knew that among all his siblings, Wang Zicheng’s name was mud, so they were confused about how come he became his father’s most valued successor.

“Go give Chen Donglai a surprise. Ask him to discipline his son. If he dares to do anything against us, he’ll be cooking his goose!”

The driver couldn’t help shivering when he saw the grim look on Wang Zicheng’s face from the rearview mirror. “The Chen family will fall on their evil day soon!” he thought.

When Qu Wan returned home, Qu Jianguo instantly saw the fingerprints on her face. “Wanwan, what happened? Did anybody hit you?” he asked anxiously.

“Nobody hit me. It was dark outside, and I tripped and fell in the alley by accident just now.”

“Wanwan, I’m useless to have had you suffer so much!” Qu Jianguo felt very distressed.

“Uncle, I’m the one to blame. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been bullied by those people!” Qu Wan said, full of guilt.

She was lucky enough to have her uncle by her side while she was in the most difficult times. Otherwise, she didn’t know if she would be able to hold on for so many years.

“Uncle, no worries. I’m sure I can make a lot of money in the future and everything will get better.”

“Yes, everything will,” Qu Jianguo murmured with a nod.

The next morning, Qu Wan went to work with the bruise on her face. As soon as she stepped into the office, he saw Wang Zicheng turn sullen.

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed than before.

At noon, Wang Zicheng took Qu Wan to a western restaurant and he ordered many spicy dishes.

Qu Wan was a little surprised. “Wang Zicheng is picky, and he never eats food with too much chili in it. What’s wrong with him?” Not long after they sat down, a few guys rounded them up. “I finally got you!”

Chen Kai and his men stared at the two ferociously with an obvious intent to get even with them.

Wang Zicheng recognized him at a glance. “Chen Kai, seems I shouldn’t have shown mercy last night!”

At the thought of what had happened the night before, Chen Kai was burning with anger. “Guys, cripple him! And take that woman away!”
