"What's wrong with my beauty? Don't you like it when I take you out for drinks?"

Bart felt embarrassed by being left behind, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, but his face still showed a friendly demeanor.

Su Li took a step back, creating distance between them, and said, "Mr. Bart, I've already told you, I won't go with you. If you don't listen, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Oh, you've got a temper now. Tell me, how can you be impolite? It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you, don't be ungrateful."

Bart still felt that she was afraid to refuse him.

"I'd rather not have this good fortune, Mr. Bart, you should leave it to someone else."

"Su Li, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. Even if you were Quan Ye's secretary or his woman, he would still give you to me if I wanted you. If he really cared about his people, he would have spoken up for you by now."

Bart's words struck her heart, one word at a time.

He's right. If Quan Ye cared about her, she wouldn't have allowed him to say so much here.

Su Li's heart turned cold.

Qin Xuan quickly said, "Brother, hurry up and do something! Your little secretary has been bullied like this."

Quan Ye saw Su Li take out her phone to make a call.

He said calmly, "She will ask me for help."

However, the phone didn't ring after a while.

Su Li called Mr. John, and the call was answered a few seconds later.

Bart arrogantly added, "You're done calling for backup now. No one can stop me from getting the woman I want."

“Hello, Miss Su?” John’s voice came through the phone.

Su Li turned on speakerphone and saw that Bart's face instantly darkened.

He can be arrogant in Haicheng, but he can't be arrogant in front of John.

Bart wasn't the only one with a dark expression; Quan Ye's face was also darkened.

Qin Xuan clicked his tongue in astonishment and asked, "Shouldn't this secretary be asking you for help? Instead, she went to John. Should I say she's clever, or just plain clever?"

Quan Ye's face was as cold as frost, and his dark eyes were filled with icy intent.

Su Li raised her voice, "Mr. John, I'm sorry to bother you. Mr. Bart gave me trouble tonight and insisted on taking me away. I really had no choice but to call you for your help."

"Give the phone to Bart."

She handed the phone to Bart.

Bart glared at her, then was forced to take it.

"Bart, you son of a bitch, I told you a thousand and one times not to cause trouble, what the hell do you want? Miss Su is my savior, if you dare to touch her, believe me, I'll skin you alive!"

John unleashed a torrent of angry curses, his voice booming with energy.

Bart's ears trembled as he listened, and he slightly raised his phone to avoid the jarring sound.

Su Li hadn't expected that Mr. John, such a gentle and kind person, could be so unusual when he got angry.

Bart finally admitted his mistake and kept agreeing.

After hanging up the phone, he walked up to her and returned the phone to her.

"Beauty, how dare you bring up my uncle? You just wait." Bart looked unwilling, but he wasn't as arrogant as before.

Su Li took the phone and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Bart, this is not your territory. Please have some self-respect."

"Hmph, let's go!"

Bart led his men away in large strides.

The venue fell silent instantly. After watching the excitement for a while, everyone dispersed to do what they were doing.

Shen Linfeng walked over to her and asked with concern, "Did I scare you just now? It's alright now."

“Young Master Shen Linfeng, you don’t need to worry about our Ah Li.”

Meng Sangsang came over and pulled Su Li away, complaining, "This guy didn't say anything to help you just now, he was just watching the show from the sidelines, and then he came over to pretend to be a good person afterwards. Who needs his fake concern?"
