Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi were heading to the private room.

Suddenly, Rong Yan stretched out her foot and tripped Qiao Chu.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhi held Qiao Chu the whole time, so she didn't stumble.

In an instant, Qiao Chu stared intently at Rong Yan with his deep eyes.

Jiang Zhi wanted to turn on Rong Yan on the spot and teach her a lesson, but Qiao Chu gave him a look.

This kind of person has no shame; it's pointless to talk to them!

If Rong Sheng is here, we'll give him face.

Besides, Rong Sheng isn't blind; there's no reason he wouldn't know about this little incident.

...

That slut dares to play dirty tricks!

Jiang Zhi didn't immediately turn hostile after hearing Qiao Chu's words, but he also didn't say he would let him off the hook.

As if nothing had happened, Jiang Zhi stomped hard on Rong Yan's foot.

Instantly, she winced in pain.

As Jiang Zhi walked away, he glared fiercely at Rong Yan.

He wouldn't tolerate anyone daring to plot against Qiao Chu right under his nose.

Even if we don't settle accounts now, we'll have to settle them once we step out this door.

However, I didn't want to dirty Diecuixuan, since this was my wife's territory, nor did I want to affect other diners.

...

Jiang Zhi put his arm around Qiao Chu and left, and only then did Rong Yan look at her shoes.

Her new shoes were not only dirtied but also scratched, which made her furious.

"Miss Rong, let me refill your tea."

When Luo Luo was pouring tea, she deliberately let her hand slip, and the kettle fell on Rong Yan.

hot!

Rong Yan immediately jumped up, shaking off the water.

She also left the kettle on the table.

In an instant, Luo Luo took the towel from the service provider and wiped the water stains off Rong Yan's body, saying apologetically, "I'm so sorry! My hands slipped because I applied hand cream. I didn't mean to! I'll pay for the dry cleaning."

Rong Yan glared fiercely at Luo Luo, her face contorted with rage, clearly about to explode.

Instantly, Rong Sheng glared sternly at Rong Yan, "Manager Luo didn't do it on purpose, and she apologized to you. Okay, have some tolerance."

"dad……"

Before Rong Yan could shout, Rong Zhan also advised her, "Sit down, just wipe it with a tissue."

Rong Sheng continued, "Manager Luo, you can go ahead and get busy. There are waiters here to take care of things."

Luo Luo: "Thank you so much, Chairman Rong, for your understanding! I'll bring you a dozen shortbreads in a moment."

...

Luo Luo left, and Rong Sheng's face instantly darkened.

He was very angry, but he could only keep it to himself.

Rong Yan, not content with that, was about to unleash her pent-up anger, saying, "Dad, you shouldn't have let her go."

Rong Sheng glared at Rong Yan, annoyed. "You're such a disgrace! You know what you've done, you deserve it!"

Rong Zhan glared at his sister, "You deserved it! Don't you know whose territory this is! If it weren't for Diecui Pavilion, do you think Jiang Zhi would have just given you a hard kick? You overestimated yourself!"

Rong Yan was speechless with anger, "You...you all..."

Rong Sheng lowered his voice and scolded angrily: "Alright, shut up! You're a disgrace! I told you before, don't mess with the Jiang family, you'll get burned."

Rong Zhan: "Let's just eat properly, you're so dramatic!"

Rong Yan's cheeks were puffed up with anger, and she was also harboring a lot of resentment in her heart.

She and that bitch Qiao Chu are never-ending.

She was determined to avenge both old and new grudges.

She wants to see who can protect her for life; she'll always have a chance to strike.

...

The Orchid Room at Diecuixuan.

Jiang Zhike was very attentive to Qiao Chu, asking her questions carefully, worried that she might feel uncomfortable.

Qiao Chu looked at her foot; it was only a little red.

"Honey, I'm fine. I was just stunned for a moment, and my mind went blank. Luckily, you held me. I never thought Rong Yan would dare to play tricks on Rong Sheng. This woman is simply hopeless."

"Those who commit many evils will be punished by Heaven sooner or later."

"I won't mention her anymore; I don't want to ruin my mood."

Jiang Zhi didn't mention it, but peeled open a preserved plum and gave it to Qiao Chu to eat.

Then, Luo Luo came in, laughing heartily.

"That felt great!"

Qiao Chu: "What's so great about it?"

Luo Luo: "I got revenge for you. When I was adding tea to Rong Yan's cup, I deliberately poured the teapot all over her, scalding her so much that she jumped up immediately. She wanted to get angry, but Rong Sheng and Rong Zhan held her down. Seeing her restrained, helpless, pitiful, and resentful expression, I felt so good!"

Qiao Chu chuckled, "She deserved it! She wouldn't listen to reason and insisted on suffering the consequences!"

Luo Luo: "If she dares to cause trouble again, especially against you, I will absolutely not let her off. Haicheng isn't hers, so why should she be allowed to run rampant?!"

Qiao Chu: "Thanks!"

Luo Luo: "You're welcome!"

Jiang Zhi: "Wife, I'll transfer Qin Yun to you."

Qiao Chu: "No need, Luo Luo can accompany me."

Luo Luo: "Alright, I'll take responsibility for Qiao Chu's safety. We're both women, so it's easier to talk to us and we can adapt to any situation."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you! I will try to spend more time with my wife."

******

As soon as he got home, Rong Sheng lashed out at Rong Yan.

"Do you have a pig's brain? I told you not to mess around, but you wouldn't listen. If Jiang Chi catches you again, I'm not coming to pick you up. Let him do whatever he wants with you."

In that instant, Yang Lijuan also glared at her daughter and tried to persuade her.

"Yan Yan, why bother arguing with that kind of woman?! Be good, just ignore her from now on and live your life peacefully."

Rong Yan protested, "Mom, that bitch is going too far!"

Rong Zhan: "Rong Yan, if you don't provoke others, you won't get involved in so many things."
