Chapter 72 When did she become a bartender?

"I told you not to eat the food in the servants' rooms. It's too cheap and will make you look poor, but you just wouldn't listen. So, what's the punishment for this?"

The voice was not loud, but every word reached Xu Yueqing's ears clearly.

Xu Yueqing's eyebrows moved slightly.

She is a smart person.

This was a veiled attack, a warning to oneself, and meant to show one's authority.

The next second after the words fell, something no one expected happened!

Li Qingzhi stopped moving her hands, and without any warning, she threw the white cat in her arms to the ground!

"Meow--!"

The cat let out a shrill scream, fell heavily to the lawn, and rolled twice before coming to a stop.

It happened so suddenly that the sharp cat cry was like a needle, piercing Xu Yueqing's eardrum.

She was frightened by the sudden violence and her heart trembled, and her body subconsciously shrank.

Ji Bingqian stretched out his other hand and hugged her in his arms.

He also patted her back twice with his hands.

It was this protective action that completely ignited the anger in Li Qingzhi's eyes.

The lady who was lazily leaning on the chaise longue the previous second, stood up suddenly from the chair the next second like a lioness whose reverse scales were touched!

The expensive silk cheongsam she was wearing stirred up a sharp wind because of her quick movements.

"What are you?"

Li Qingzhi rushed forward in a few steps, and her well-maintained fingers grabbed Xu Yueqing's arm tightly like a pair of pliers.

Her nails were trimmed so long and pointed that they almost dug into Xu Yueqing's flesh through the thin fabric.

Xu Yueqing gasped in pain, but her mind went blank.

What?

Li Qingzhi came closer, her pretty face full of contempt and disgust, as she spoke word by word.

"Who allowed a bartender like you to step into our Ji family's door?"

A bartender?

Xu Yueqing was completely confused. When did she become a bartender?

Before she could even react to these words, she saw Li Qingzhi raise his other hand, and with overwhelming anger, swung it fiercely towards her face!

The wind from the slap blew across his cheek, and Xu Yueqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

She subconsciously tried to hide, but her body was suddenly pulled back, and then a broad back blocked her tightly.

“Bang!”

An extremely crisp slapping sound exploded in the silent courtyard.

Harshly loud.

"Master! Madam!"

Qin Hai's panicked voice followed closely behind.

Xu Yueqing was pushed back two steps by the force, and her whole body was still tightly protected in Ji Bingqian's arms. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat.

She steadied herself and slowly raised her head.

The first person he saw was Li Qingzhi who was being held tightly by Qin Hai.

The lady who had been so elegant just now now had messy hair, her chest heaving violently, and her eyes were bloodshot, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Xu Yueqing's gaze turned stiffly and fell back on the man in front of her.

Ji Bingqian tilted his head slightly, and on his lower jaw, a clear slap mark quickly turned red, extending from his chin to his neck, with several bloody marks caused by fingernails.

The blood-red color was particularly eye-catching.

Xu Yueqing was frightened and blurted out.

"Mr. Ji..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"I'm fine."

Ji Bingqian's voice remained steady. Instead, he turned around and looked her up and down with his deep eyes.

"How are you?"

Xu Yueqing felt that he had not made enough psychological preparations before coming here.
