Chapter 57 Bullying You Until You Beg for Mercy

An Shixia set her alarm for 7 o'clock, but by the time she finished getting ready, it was almost 7:30.

She grabbed a sandwich and yogurt as usual, intending to eat them in the car.

Yesterday, she forgot her bag in Yan Lingyu's car and only took her phone before getting out. She wanted to text Yan Lingyu to ask if he was going to school.

But then he saw a message that Yan Lingyu had sent half an hour earlier.

I have something to do at the company today, so I can't take you to school. I'll bring your bag to you this afternoon.

Actually, there wasn't anything important in her bag. She casually replied "okay" and asked the driver to take her to school.

This model is different from Yan Lingyu's, but the brand is the same, and the price is exorbitant.

Jiang Zhiyao saw her get out of the car from a distance and subconsciously picked up her phone to record a video.

She noticed with her sharp eyes that the person in the driver's seat was not Yan Lingyu, but a middle-aged man.

"Well, you've already hooked up with a rich guy, not just seducing Yan Lingyu! If Yan Lingyu finds out, he'll definitely dump you!"

Jiang Zhiyao silently cursed in her heart. Only after An Shixia walked away did she put away her phone and stop filming.

He knew that An Shixia's family was wealthy, but her usual spending habits weren't as extravagant as those of a real heiress, so he immediately ruled out that the car belonged to An Shixia's family.

She considered sending the video to Yan Lingyu, but she didn't have his contact information, so she could only save the video and show it to him later when she had the chance.

He Huaisheng's birthday is tomorrow. As soon as get out of class ended, Jiang Zhiyao ran up to An Shixia.

"An Shixia, tomorrow is Sheng-gege's birthday. If you're willing to ask me, I can take you there."

Jiang Zhiyao seemed to have anticipated that An Shixia would beg her, and she acted superior.

Even Shen Tongtong couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this: "Jiang Zhiyao, are you still half asleep?"

Jiang Zhiyao frowned: "I was talking to An Shixia, when did it become your place to interrupt?"

"Oh, you really think you're an empress? How feudal! The law says there's freedom of speech, and you think you can shut me up?"

Shen Tongtong's sarcasm was off the charts, which made Jiang Zhiyao stomp her foot in anger.

Her high heels almost couldn't withstand the force she exerted, and she nearly twisted her ankle.

She was a little angry and ignored Chen Tongtong, staring straight at An Shixia: "Brother Sheng has prepared a gift for you this time. I won't make things difficult for you. It's still the same private room in Fengyu Tower. You are welcome to come."

After Jiang Zhiyao finished speaking, she turned and left.

An Shixia fell into deep thought.

That private room from before? Wasn't that reserved exclusively for the An family? When did it become available to the public?

She used that private room to celebrate He Huaisheng's birthday before. She didn't do anything this year, so how come they were able to make a reservation?

It's a bit odd.

"Tongtong, let's go to Fengyulou for dinner together tomorrow. It's on me."

An Shixia wanted to understand these things, so she decided she had to go and see for herself.

Shen Tongtong was taken aback, almost misunderstanding, and hesitantly asked, "You... you probably won't be attending his birthday party anymore, right?"

An Shixia chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, I won't go. There's just something I need to figure out, and maybe I'll see a joke along the way."

Shen Tongtong was completely relieved: "Okay, I was craving those clams you sent me last time. The ones at Fengyulou are pretty good too. I'll order some tomorrow!"

"Sure, plenty."

On the way home that evening, An Shixia chattered away in the car, explaining yesterday's events to Yan Lingyu and then moving on to today.

"Jiang Zhiyao even made me beg her today, saying that if I did that, she would allow me to attend He Huaisheng's birthday party. I was so angry I almost laughed."

Yan Lingyu felt good hearing her say so unabashedly that she didn't care about He Huaisheng.

"She also said that He Huaisheng had prepared a surprise for me, but I think it was more like a shock, so I ignored her."

Yan Lingyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "He's willing to give you a gift? As far as I know, he can't even come up with a few thousand yuan."

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Yan Lingyu understood this principle well, so he investigated He Huaisheng thoroughly.

Of course, that was in the past. Now Xia Xia doesn't care about He Huaisheng, and he's too lazy to investigate.

"Can't even come up with a few thousand yuan? And he still booked a private room at Fengyu Tower. Speaking of which, I'm still wondering, it's the same private room in my house, it's never open to the public. I'm planning to go check it out with Tongtong tomorrow."

Yan Lingyu was not surprised by An Shixia's words at all, nor was he worried that she would actually attend He Huaisheng's birthday party; he trusted her.

"He Huaisheng probably doesn't know that the private rooms are not open to the public. Perhaps he still thinks you will continue to be taken advantage of, after all, you were in charge of his birthday banquet before."

By the end, Yan Lingyu's tone had become a little sour, filled with envy and jealousy.

What makes He Huaisheng so special? He's not as good-looking as him, he's not as good at studying, and he's not as rich as him.

What he can give Xiaxia, I can give too, and I can even do it better than him!

An Shixia could naturally sense the jealousy in his tone, and poked his arm with her finger: "I'll definitely put in even more effort for your birthday, and I absolutely won't let you down!"

"Then I'll be really looking forward to it. If you don't satisfy me, then I'll... bully you until you beg for mercy."

Yan Lingyu glanced at An Shixia with a strategic look in his eyes, his tone somewhat ambiguous.

"Bullying me? Fine, if you dare bully me, I'll go tell Aunt Lin!"

"Then we'll see if you dare to complain then."

Yan Lingyu couldn't help but laugh; his understanding of bullying was different from that of the little fool.

Does this silly boy think he'll bully her like he did when they were kids?

They've all grown up; it's time for them to play some adult games.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw An Shixia secretly gesturing with her fists, but her little fists were probably just tickling her.

"Alright, I'd like to hear how you're going to complain."

An Shixia snorted: "I'll tell Aunt Lin that you bullied me."

"Then what did I do to bully you?"

Yan Lingyu pressed for an answer.

An Shixia couldn't say anything, so she couldn't help but punch him: "You're the one who said you were going to bully me and make me beg for mercy. I'll tell Aunt Lin exactly what you did to me!"

Yan Lingyu grunted, "Fine, you're trying to murder your childhood sweetheart. If you use any more force, I'll crash into that car in front of me."

The car in front suddenly slowed down and turned, and Yan Lingyu managed to brake in time.

An Shixia immediately dared not do anything more. She still valued her life; she was still young and hadn't lived enough yet.

"Alright, alright, you can keep driving now, just don't bully me!"

An Shixia's tone was soft and sweet, sounding like a threat, but to the ear, it was more like a coquettish plea.

Yan Lingyu did not answer her, because it was impossible not to bully her.

However... you have to get her permission before you can bully her.
