From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

"A new girlfriend?"

Lin Yuxuan stared at Mu Qingying holding Lu Yunzhou's hand, and the color drained from her face little by little.

She looked Mu Qingying up and down.

White dress, long hair, clean makeup.

Even standing amidst the shattered glass and grease, the weight of the surrounding women made them unable to lift their heads.

Wei Jiaojiao, in pain, knelt by the table, still adding fuel to the fire: "Yuxuan, don't believe him! A lousy driver, where would he find a woman like that?"

Lin Yuxuan gritted her teeth: "Girl, do you even know anything about him? What are you getting out of being with someone like that?"

Mu Qingying hugged Lu Yunzhou's arm even tighter.

"I'm after him as a person."

"The person you're not good enough for is my darling."

Students who hadn't gone far from the store stopped in their tracks.

Some people recognized the dress Mu Qingying was wearing and began to whisper among themselves.

"Is that dress a high-end international couture piece?"

"The watch on her wrist must be worth hundreds of thousands."

"Given these conditions, would they really pay to put on an act with the driver?"

As the whispers reached her ears, Lin Yuxuan's face grew increasingly grim.

Back then, she crushed Lu Yunzhou in the mud, convinced that after leaving her, this man was only fit to live on a few thousand yuan a month.

But Su Qingwan appeared beside him.

Now another one, Mu Qingying, has emerged.

Each one is more beautiful and richer than the last.

On the contrary, after being kicked out by Chu Tiankuo, she could only keep company with the bald man who reeked of alcohol.

Mu Qingying raised her hand and brushed the hair behind her ear.

"Thank you for making room for the kind person."

"We can't eat fish anymore, let's go to another restaurant."

Lu Yunzhou picked up the bag Mu Qingying had placed on the stool and escorted her out.

Mu Qingying nodded: "I'll listen to you."

As soon as the two men rounded the corner of the table, the bald man removed the metal skewer from his leg and stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the table.

Blood dripped down his trouser leg.

He pulled a switchblade from his waist, pressed the switch, and the blade popped out, blocking the middle of the passageway.

"You stabbed me in the back, and you think you can just walk away?"

Lu Yunzhou stopped.

The bald man was panting heavily, and he waved the blade forward twice.

"Medical expenses, car reimbursement, plus my reputation, let's round it up to five million."

"It's okay if you can't produce it."

His gaze lingered on Mu Qingying, his tongue brushing against his teeth.

"Let her stay with me for a few days. Once I've had my fun, this debt will be settled."

Mu Qingying's arms tensed, and her heels shifted half a step behind Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou shielded her completely and looked up at the bald man.

"What did you just say?"

The voice was not loud.

The bald man felt a tightness in the back of his neck from his gaze.

He gripped the switchblade tightly and roared at the blond-haired men, "All of you, get him! Whoever breaks his leg, I'll give them 100,000!"

The blond-haired man grabbed a solid wood chair and charged at him from the side.

He lifted the chair above his head and slammed it down on Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou took half a step forward and threw a punch to meet the attack.

The wooden plank broke, and the chair back and four legs lay scattered on the ground.

Huang Mao was still holding onto half of the crossbeam, his whole arm shaking uncontrollably.

He stood there with his mouth agape, taking several steps back.

The remaining thugs in the shop all stopped.

"Is this even human?"

Someone shouted something.

The bald man turned and ran.

Lu Yunzhou's shoulder sank as he bumped into his chest.

boom!

The body, weighing around 200 pounds, flew out of the aisle and slammed its back against the first table.

The bald man clutched his chest, spitting out blood and foam, and tried several times to get up but failed.

Lu Yunzhou walked over and pressed the sole of his shoe against his neck.

"Who were you with just now?"

The bald man gripped Lu Yunzhou's shoes with both hands, his face turning purplish-red.

"Bro... I've had too much to drink... and I was being cheeky..."

"Awake now?"

"He's awake! I'll pay for everything! I'll make up for all the losses at the store!"

Lu Yunzhou looked at the group of thugs.

The men threw down their weapons and lined up against the wall.

Huang Mao tried to inch his way towards the door, but Lu Yunzhou forced him to retreat with a single glance.

"Block the door."

"Whoever runs away, I'll beat them up first."

The blond-haired man nodded repeatedly, then turned and closed the glass door.

Lu Yunzhou bent down and picked up the plate of grilled fish from the table.

Most of the fish had been eaten, but a thick layer of red oil and broth remained at the bottom.

The bottom of the pan was pressed against the stove, and the oil noodles were still bubbling.

The bald man saw the plate and started kicking his legs wildly.

"Brother, please stop! This could really kill someone!"

"They booked out the entire venue, emptied people out, smashed the shop, beat students, and even blocked the road with knives."

Lu Yunzhou handed the plate to him.

"You didn't eat much tonight, have something to eat first."

"I don't want to eat it! Take it away!"

Lu Yunzhou increased the pressure on his feet, and the bald man's shout was stuck in his throat, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing.

"Hold him down."

The henchmen exchanged glances; some grabbed the man's legs, while others pried open the bald man's jaw.

"Brother Fei, I'm so sorry!"

"There's nothing we can do, please bear with it!"

The chili oil dripped down the edge of the plate and into the bald man's mouth.

He swallowed hard, his face contorted, and he desperately tilted his head to vomit.

The soup poured into his nasal cavity, choking him and causing him to cough and wheeze, his body struggling on the ground.

"It's hot! My mouth...stop!"

The screams drowned out the music in the store.

Lu Yunzhou put down the half-eaten soup base and turned to look at Wei Jiaojiao, who was slumped over the table.

Wei Jiaojiao kept her eyes closed, not daring to even cry out.

"Still pretending?"

Her shoulders twitched.

"Lu Yunzhou, my hand is broken... I've already been punished..."

"Didn't you just tell me to kneel down and lick your shoes?"

"I was just kidding!"

Lu Yunzhou pushed the remaining red oil to Huang Mao's feet.

"She wasn't full either."

Wei Jiaojiao crawled backward using both her hands and feet.

"Don't touch me! I'm Qi Yufei's girlfriend! I know school leaders, and I also know..."

Two thugs grabbed her shoulders and dragged her back.

"Sister Jiao, open your mouth, take a couple of sips and it'll be over."

Wei Jiaojiao clenched her teeth and shook her head repeatedly.

The chili oil dripped down her face and neck and into her collar. She choked and opened her mouth to breathe, swallowing several mouthfuls of soup in the process.

She rolled to the ground, clutched her throat and coughed dryly, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Lin Yuxuan leaned against the cashier's counter, but her legs couldn't support her body, and she slowly slid to the ground.

As soon as Lu Yunzhou turned around, she immediately raised her phone.

"Don't come any closer!"

"I'm Chu Tiankuo's man. If you dare touch me, he'll kill you!"

Lu Yunzhou didn't stop walking.

Have you called him?

Lin Yuxuan held her phone, her lips moving a few times.

"He's been busy lately and doesn't have time to answer..."

"Are you not answering, or have you been blocked?"

Lin Yuxuan looked down and turned on the screen.

In the call log, more than a dozen red missed call notifications were crammed together.

Lin Yuxuan continued pressing the dial button, unwilling to give up.

Lu Yunzhou didn't want to linger any longer, so he took Mu Qingying's hand and walked out of the store.

The Rolls-Royce was parked on the side of the street with its headlights on.

Mu Qingying got into the passenger seat. Lu Yunzhou had just closed the car door when the sound of high heels dragging on the ground came from behind.

"Cloud Boat!"

Lin Yuxuan stumbled out of the store and rushed to the car, her knees hitting the ground hard.

She spread her arms to block the front of the car, her makeup washed away by tears, leaving two dark streaks on her face.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"Chu Tiankuo forced me to drug you; I've always had feelings for you!"

"Let's start over, okay?"
