The village beauty and me!

"We haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?" Chen Huan had finally found Xia Meili, so naturally he wasn't going to let her leave just like that.

Immediately go around to the front of her and block her.

"Are you trying to kill me? We can talk about this later!"

"I'll come back to you, get out of the way..." Xia Meili said urgently.

She tried to push Chen Huan away again.

Just then, those thugs quickly ran up to them.

"Xia Meili, you stinking woman."

"You owe money and are hiding here. Today you either pay back the money or come with me!" The leader of the group completely ignored Chen Huan's presence.

He grabbed Xia Meili's hair, pulled her close, and poked her nose, threatening her fiercely.

This place is a corner behind the stage, and no one noticed it after the other actors had left.

So if Chen Huan doesn't intervene, Xia Meili will truly be isolated and helpless.

These people were able to find this place so accurately, they must have been guided by someone.

After a moment's thought, Chen Huan decided not to get involved and to just watch the show.

Xia Meili was already pleading in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, I really don't have any money right now."

"The performance I just did only paid five hundred yuan. Can I give it all to you in a bit?"

The man, Zhang San, immediately cursed, "Five hundred?"

"Are you trying to fetch a beggar? This isn't even enough to cover today's interest."

While talking, he rummaged through Xia Meili's body.

The two people next to them were grinning and started taking advantage of the situation.

Xia Meili showed no resistance whatsoever; she was simply terrified, her face turning deathly pale as she trembled uncontrollably.

  

After searching for a while, Zhang San only found a little over a hundred yuan in her small pocket. As he put the money into his own pocket, he tightened his grip on Xia Meili's hair.

Xia Meili was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, but she didn't dare to shout. She looked extremely pathetic.

"If you're broke, come with us."

"I only earn 500 a day performing here. When will I ever be able to pay off my debts?"

"I'll find you a place where you can earn five thousand a day. It's easy to make money and the process is comfortable. It's definitely better than here."

After saying that, he grinned lewdly and tried to take Xia Meili away.

"Wait a minute," Chen Huan, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, said in a low voice.

"Are you fucking asking for it?"

"Have you had enough of living?" Zhang San glared at Chen Huan fiercely, his tone and expression full of threat and contempt.

From the very beginning, they never considered Chen Huan to be a person and didn't think he posed any threat.

"Chen Huan, save me!"

"Don't let them take me away. I don't want to go to that kind of place. We can talk about what you're looking for me about..." Xia Meili pleaded desperately, as if she had grasped at a lifeline.

Chen Huan frowned. "You said it yourself. I don't like people who break their promises."

"I promise..." Xia Meili hurriedly replied.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang San punched him in the stomach, causing him to convulse in pain and slowly sit down on the ground.

Who do you think you are?

"Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, huh? Don't you even know if you can take a beating?" Zhang San and his men surrounded Chen Huan in a corner.

They all wore forced smiles, their eyes filled with malice.

Zhang San even pulled out a folding knife, revealing a few inches of gleaming blade, and kept gesturing at it in front of Chen Huan.

"You lot, get out of here."

"Before I start beating you up," Chen Huan replied calmly with a disdainful expression.

"Damn, Third Brother, did you hear that? This kid's showing off." One of Zhang San's henchmen sneered.

After saying that, he raised his hand and was about to slap Chen Huan across the face.

With a snap.

The younger brother had a bright red handprint on his face, and he rolled his eyes back and spun around until he fainted on the ground.

"You..." Zhang San's smile froze.

Before he could even react, Chen Huan had already snatched the knife from his hand and shoved it into his nostril the next second.

The cold blade sliced ​​two small gashes into Zhang San's nostrils, sending a burning pain through him.

Blood began to drip from the blade onto the ground.

Zhang San immediately chickened out.

Trembling, he lowered his stance and said, "Big brother, we can talk this over. Let's not resort to knives or guns."

"In a harmonious society, murder is illegal."

Chen Huan couldn't help but laugh. "You bastard, you know about the law too?"

Zhang San blinked. "I know a little bit."

"Are you Xia Meili's boyfriend? If we had known you were this ruthless, we wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on your sister-in-law."

This guy's attitude changed pretty quickly.

Chen Huan frowned. "I'm not familiar with Xia Meili."

"Huh?" Zhang San was stunned.

"You're helping her even though you don't know her well? Dude, are you kidding us?"

Chen Huan pushed the knife in another half centimeter, which frightened Zhang San so much that he stood on tiptoe and trembled even more violently.

"Get out of here right now. I don't want to see you again today." Chen Huan was too lazy to argue with them.

The plan was to scare these people away and then get custody of Xiaozhu from Xia Meili.

Zhang San and his friends couldn't wait to get out of here.

Just as she was about to turn away, covering her nose, Xia Meili, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly got up.

He said directly to Chen Huan, "That won't do."

"You have to resolve this trouble for me. If you want custody of Xia Xiaozhu, I'll give it to you."

"But you can forget about anything else!"

Chen Huan's face darkened. "Are you trying to rip me off?"

Xia Meili was a little scared, but she still replied firmly, "Every man for himself."

"I know you're doing well and have money now, so what's wrong with helping out your former bedmate?"

"I've been with you for quite a while now, and I haven't enjoyed any good life. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't have left you."

"Who would have thought you'd suddenly become so nice?"

Chen Huan really didn't want to talk to Xia Meili.

But for Xiaozhu's sake, they could only reprimand Zhang San and the others again.

Zhang San almost knelt down, looking distressed, and said, "Brother, can you just give me a straight answer, whether you want to kill me or torture me? This back-and-forth is making me so uncomfortable."

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly is the conflict between you and Xia Meili?" Chen Huan asked fiercely.

"It's just that I owe some money; we're loan sharks."

"Xia Meili's boyfriend is called A Long. He owes us 100,000 yuan and then ran away. The money was borrowed in Xia Meili's name."

"Of course we should go after him now. It's only right to pay back debts. Even if it goes to court, we're in the right."

Zhang San began to recount his story in a long, rambling manner.

Chen Huan gave a cold laugh.

No wonder Xia Meili gave up her good life to come here and perform striptease in revealing clothes to earn money.

It turns out I was tricked by that boyfriend.

"Chen Huan, I heard you're driving a luxury car now. Can you pay me back this money for me first? I'll find a way to make it up to you later." Xia Meili resumed her pleading tone.

Ten thousand yuan is really nothing to Chen Huan.

Although I don't want to give Xia Meili a free ride, I should give it to her for Xiaozhu's sake.

Chen Huan simply said, "Give me your account number, and I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you."

Zhang San's eyes lit up. "This guy is definitely a straightforward person."

"However, the principal alone is 100,000, plus interest..."
