BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140 - 145: Nobody is Qualified! (8)
Gu Qingxin looked up, in the middle of the corridor, a man was gripping a girl, hitting and berating her…
“What’s going on, you’re disturbing Lord Beiming. Can you handle the consequences?” Lieyan spoke in displeasure, berating the manager leading the way.
“Yes, yes, 1 will drive them away immediately.” The manager perspired in fear, ready to handle the situation immediately.
Gu Qingxin’s eyes remained on the girl being hit from afar, the figure looked awfully familiar…
“Qianqian.”
Gu Qingxin’s voice was not loud, but Bai Qianqian, who was being hit, heard it. She turned her head towards Gu Qingxin.
“Qianqian, it’s really you!” Gu Qingxin disregarded Beiming Lingyun, and quickly walked towards Qianqian.
The man abusing Bai Qianqian rose an eyebrow at the incoming girl. He ceased his assault, hesitating to let go of Bai Qianqian, given the situation forming in the distance.
How could he let the duck ready for his taking fly away?
“Let go!” Gu Qingxin sternly glared at the man abusing Bai Qianqian.
“Who are you? Do you think I’ll just let go because you say so! Ah! Ah!”
The man’s hand was grabbed by Lieyan, who had walked over. He screamed in pain.
“Who exactly are you…” The man wanted to lash out, but looking at the mighty figure of Lieyan, and the intimidating Lord Beiming behind him, his bravado deflated immediately.
“Get lost!” Lieyan’s cold order and his strong push sent the man scrambling away in fear.
Gu Qingxin watched the somewhat disheveled Bai Qianqian and then spoke to Lord Beiming, “Lord Beiming, she is my friend. 1 will take her to clean up first.”
As long as she’s your friend, bring her along,” said Beiming Lingyun. He went towards the private room first.
Looking at Bai Qianqian’s slightly reddened face from being hit, Gu Qingxin asked in distress, “Did it hurt?”
” I’m fine!” Bai Qianqian mustered all her strength not to cry, and tried smiling, but the wound on her mouth hurt too much, so she gasped in pain.
“What happened to you? Why wasn’t your phone available, and why was 1 told not to call when I called your home?”
In the washroom.
Gu Qingxin found out what had happened to Bai Qianqian after they last met; not long after she had returned home, she received bad news that her father had caused a drunk-driving accident and was in a comatose state in the hospital.
The mother couldn’t bear the shock and fell ill. Bai Qianqian also has a younger brother and sister. With their parents down, the Bai family’s company was immediately taken over by the unscrupulous relatives.
To afford her parents’ medical fees, she had to sell the house. Recently, the current head of the company forced her to entertain clients with drinks. To keep her father’s company, she had to grit her teeth and endure.
The man taking advantage of her today was a major client of the company. She didn’t want to comply but also couldn’t afford to offend him, so she had no choice but to put up with it.
She was fortunate to have met her today, otherwise, the outcome would have been unthinkable.
It wasn’t time for talking, Gu Qingxin quickly helped Bai Qianqian clean up. Bai Qianqian asked, “Qingxin, who is that imposing old man? How did you get to know him?”
“It’s a long story, I’ll tell you about it later. Let’s go back now so we don’t keep him waiting too long,” Gu Qingxin said, seeing that Bai Qianqian was almost presentable. She held her hand and they started back for the private room.
Bouncers standing at the door pushed it open, Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian walked in, one after the other. Gu Qingxin’s uptwisting lips froze the moment she saw the man sitting inside the room….
