Chapter 17 You Still Protect Him

She quoted an astonishingly low price, almost breaking even or even making a small loss.

As soon as the price was announced, the crowd, who were originally angry and watching the excitement, suddenly became agitated! Especially the young girls and young wives, who looked at the novel style and compared it with the ridiculously cheap price, and were immediately tempted!

"Is it true? So cheap?"

"This dress looks quite different..."

"Give me one to try!"

"I want one too!"

Someone took the lead and several people immediately surrounded them.

Su Hexi hurriedly greeted them and was busy taking clothes and collecting money.

The women who wanted to cause trouble were pushed aside. They stared at the heated scene in anger, but could do nothing.

This is exactly the effect Su Hexi wants! She knows the importance of word of mouth and fame.

If you don't have money for advertising now, then you can use extremely low prices to open up the market and let the first batch of customers taste the sweetness. Wearing them will be the best living advertisement! Once everyone recognizes her style and quality, you won't have to worry about not making back the money in the future!

Sure enough, thanks to the excellent design and low price, the clothes she brought were quickly sold out. Holding the small stack of banknotes with body temperature in her hand, Su Hexi was so excited that her hands were shaking.

Success! The first step is sold!

She did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately ran to the textile factory store with the money in her pocket, wanting to quickly purchase a batch of good materials so that she could strike while the iron was hot and continue to make the next batch.

However, she was so busy that she ran to the place and found that it was already late and the store had closed for a long time!

Looking at the closed door, Su Hexi felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her, and her enthusiasm instantly cooled.

The shop is completely out of fabric. What shall I do tomorrow? Will the business I just started be interrupted?

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth at the door. Suddenly, she thought of the textile factory. Maybe there were still people there, and she could go there to buy some fabric.

She was desperate and tried every possible means, so she didn't care about anything else and just relied on her memory to find her way to the textile factory office building.

She had just walked to the alley behind the office building when Zhao Wenbin came out of get off work pushing his bicycle.

Zhao Wenbin also saw her. In the dim light, he was visibly stunned.

The Su Hexi in front of him was completely different from the fat, sloppy, stupid and pretentious woman a month ago!

Although she was dressed simply, she had a slimmer figure and fairer skin. Her face was no longer covered in exaggerated makeup, but instead exuded a kind of beauty and stubbornness, especially her eyes, which were surprisingly bright.

Zhao Wenbin hadn't gotten any advantage from her before, and instead had been blackmailed out of his money by her. He'd been feeling resentful ever since. Now that she'd taken the initiative to come to him again, and it was late at night, with no one around...

He walked over, pushing his bicycle, a fake smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this Xixi? What's going on? Do you want to talk to me?"

His eyes kept wandering over her, with an uncomfortably sticky look.

Su Hexi took a half step back cautiously, suppressed the disgust in her heart, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm not looking for you, I'm here to buy cloth."

"Buying cloth? No problem!" Zhao Wenbin interrupted her with a smile, but he took a step closer, leaning his bicycle against the wall. "What's so difficult about that? I'll help you think of a solution."

His tone became more and more frivolous, and his hand even wanted to rest on Su Hexi's shoulder.

Su Hexi's expression changed, and she suddenly opened his hand: "Show some respect!"

She turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhao Wenbin, however, grabbed her wrist with terrifying strength. The fake smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a vulgar eagerness: "Don't go! Xixi, weren't we good friends before? What can that rude Zhou Lin give you? If you follow me, you can choose any cloth in the factory from now on."

As he said that, he actually pulled Su Hexi towards the darker corner next to him!

"Let me go! Bastard!" Su Hexi was so scared that she struggled desperately, but the strength difference between men and women was too great. Her wrist was gripped so hard that it hurt, and she was about to be dragged into the darkness!

At this critical moment, a roar like that of a wounded beast exploded from the alley: "Zhao Wenbin! Fuck your ancestors!"

A dark figure rushed over like a whirlwind! It was Zhou Lin, who had just finished his night shift and was taking a shortcut back to the dormitory!

He saw Zhao Wenbin pulling Su Hexi from afar and heard her screams. At that moment, all his rationality was burned away by the raging anger!

New and old grudges flooded his mind! Zhao Wenbin cheated his wife of her money and caused her to be beaten, and now he dared to touch her!

Zhou Lin rushed over like a mad lion and punched Zhao Wenbin hard in the face!

"Ah!" Zhao Wenbin screamed, blood gushed out of his nose instantly, and his hand holding Su Hexi loosened.

But Zhou Lin didn't stop at all! Punch after punch, kick after kick, all aimed at Zhao Wenbin's vital parts! He was extremely strong and furious. Zhao Wenbin had no power to fight back. He could only hold his head and scream for mercy on the ground.

"Dare to touch her! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!!" Zhou Lin's eyes were red, veins popping out of his forehead, and every punch he threw was filled with the ferocity of wanting to rip the other person to pieces. Zhao Wenbin, lying on the ground, was soon bruised and swollen, breathing more out than in.

Su Hexi recovered from her initial shock and turned pale at the sight of the bloody scene! If the fight continued, someone would die!

"Zhou Lin! Stop hitting me! Stop it now! Someone's going to die!" She rushed forward and hugged Zhou Lin's waist tightly, trying to pull him away.

Her objection only added fuel to the fire! Zhou Lin whipped his head around, his bloodshot eyes glaring at her, filled with rage, disappointment, and the pain of betrayal. "You're protecting him?! You're still protecting him now?!"

He thought she was forgetting her old love!

Without waiting for Su Hexi to explain, he grabbed her wrist with such force that it almost crushed her bones, and dragged her out of the alley roughly, not caring at all about Zhao Wenbin who was dying on the ground.

"Let me go! Zhou Lin! You're hurting me!" Su Hexi staggered as he was pulled by him, her wrist aching, and she was terrified. Zhou Lin was now like a wild beast that had completely lost control.

Zhou Lin said nothing, his face frighteningly gloomy. He dragged her to a deserted corner nearby and slammed her against the cold wall. He supported her body with his arms on both sides, trapping her tightly, and his hot and angry breath sprayed on her face.

"Tell me! Why did you go to him?! Are you asking him for money again?!" His voice was hoarse and low, like the roar of a trapped animal, "Su Hexi! I told you, I'll find a way to deal with the money! I'm your man, I can find a way to give you as much money as you want! Why did you go to that beast! Do you need his money that much?! Huh?!"

He was convinced that she was going to have a secret meeting with Zhao Wenbin and ask for money, which made him feel extremely humiliated and angry.

Su Hexi was trembling all over after being yelled at, her back pressed against the cold wall, a huge fear enveloping her. She had never seen Zhou Lin look so terrifying.

"I'm not... I didn't..." Her voice trembled, tears welling up uncontrollably, "I wanted to buy some fabric... the store was closed... so I thought of getting some fabric from the textile factory... I didn't expect to meet him..."

"Delivering fabric?" Zhou Lin didn't believe it at all, his eyes becoming even more sinister. "You're kidding! Do we have to go to a dark alley to deliver fabric?! What the hell did you do before?! Tell me!"
