Chapter Twenty-Four: Even When Beating a Dog, You Have to Consider Its Owner



In the lively private room, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but check her phone, her glass of wine untouched.

It's been almost four hours since I came out, how come I haven't received a single text message?

Seeing that her phone screen remained completely clean, Xie Huanyu felt inexplicably anxious and became absent-minded.

In the past, Xu Yanshu always seemed to want to keep an eye on him 24/7. Today, she's been out for so long, why hasn't she even sent a text message?

Or was Xu Yanshu deliberately trying to spite him?

"Yu Bao, is something wrong? I've noticed you've been staring at your phone the whole time." Lu Huai finally couldn't help but expose him, his face full of grievance at being ignored.

ah?

Looking up and meeting the man's questioning gaze, Xie Huanyu felt inexplicably embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed. She then picked up the wine glass beside her.

"It's okay, I've already come out to have fun with you, haven't I?"

“Yu Bao, you have to believe me,” Lu Huai said, then nodded and solemnly assured her, “Most of the news on the internet is just baseless. I will definitely keep myself clean in the future. You have always been the only one in my heart.”

"Keeping oneself clean?!" Xie Huanyu unconsciously recalled the scene of Xu Yanshu and Xiao Zhou exchanging glances during the day.

Previously, she had never worried that Xu Yanshu would have any ambiguous relationships with other women, because she knew perfectly well that his heart was completely devoted to her. But recently, however, Xu Yanshu's attitude towards her had become unexpectedly cold...

"Ah Huai, I..."

Xie Huanyu had just opened her mouth when the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Xu Yanshu went straight to Xie Huanyu and said, "Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you!"

You can't have it both ways. Since she insists on not getting a divorce, then she should maintain the most basic respect for marriage.

Unexpectedly, the other party found this place. Xie Huanyu instinctively tried to get up, but Lu Huai blocked her way without saying a word.

"Xu Yanshu, who do you think you are? What right do you have to care about your tone of voice!"

Yes, what gives him the right to give orders to me here?

Thinking about it, Xie Huanyu leaned back casually, then looked up at Xu Yanshu with a very cold gaze, casually toying with her wine glass.

He was acting all high and mighty in front of me just now, and now he's barging in without a word. This man is really getting bolder and bolder.

Seeing Lu Huai blocking her way, Xu Yanshu could no longer contain herself. "Lu Huai, don't meddle in other people's business. This is between Xie Huanyu and me."

"But……"

Xie Huanyu slammed the cup down on the table, stood up abruptly, and coldly rebuked,

"Xu Yanshu, don't push your luck! Who let you come here? And what makes you think you can make decisions for me?"

The noisy private room fell silent instantly, and the people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wasn't this person deliberately sending you the photo?

Xu Yanshu gave Lu Huai a meaningful look, then solemnly said, "Xie Huanyu, we are still husband and wife."

"hehe!"

Xie Huanyu chuckled to herself, her eyes full of sarcasm. "You know better than anyone why I married you in the first place, so where do you get the confidence to bring this up with me here?"

It seems this man is indeed playing hard to get!

Xie Huanyu pondered to herself, "Just now she seemed to be trying to distance herself from me, but now I know they are married."

Thinking back to how absent-minded she had been just now, she felt even more annoyed, realizing that she had almost been manipulated by Xu Yanshu again.

"Yeah, they've been living off women for so many years, how come they're starting to act tough now?"

"Hmph, so what if he's married? Miss Xie doesn't even like him. He's just a simp in the end."

"That's right. Anyone with eyes can see that Miss and Young Master Lu are the real couple. It's already a great honor to let him be called the Xie family's son-in-law!"

If that's the case, why not get a divorce?

Xu Yanshu looked helplessly at the arrogant woman, and for a moment felt a sense of powerlessness as if his hands were tied.

Lu Huai subtly moved closer to Xie Huanyu, then slowly tried to smooth things over, "Huanyu, forget it, you..."

Why is he everywhere?

Xu Yanshu raised her eyes and gave Lu Huai a cold look. Xie Huanyu quickly noticed this and spoke again in a cold voice.

"Also, pay attention to your attitude towards Ah Huai,"

"If I find out again that you're deliberately targeting her, I will never let you off easily!"

If they dare to treat Ah Huai so coldly to his face, who knows what they'll do to him behind his back?

He hadn't even brought up the incident where he made Ah Huai cry last time, yet Xie Huanyu's face was gloomy, and he was already acting tough again.

Xu Yanshu secretly pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, nodded meaningfully, glanced at Xie Huanyu with a cool look, and then turned and left the private room.

"Yu Bao, don't be angry. It's okay if I suffer a little grievance!" Lu Huai said gently, then pulled her to sit down again.

Xie Huanyu nodded gently, and it took her a moment to calm down.

Looking at the men and women engrossed in their revelry in the private room, she picked up the glass in front of her and smashed it hard on the floor, speaking coldly and sternly.

"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. No matter what, Xu Yanshu is still my person, Xie Huanyu's person. If I ever hear you talking about him again, we can forget about being friends!"

She had always known that these people harbored ill will towards Xu Yanshu, but she never expected them to say such hurtful things to her face.

It seems this woman cares about Xu Yanshu more than she imagined...

Lu Huai narrowed his eyes meaningfully. He hadn't expected Xie Huanyu to defend Xu Yanshu in front of everyone.

"Yes, don't go too far. Xu Yanshu is still Yu'er's husband. For his sake, please watch your words!"

Those present exchanged bewildered glances. In the past, Miss Xie had always hated Xu Yanshu, that gigolo, so why was she defending him today?

Lu Huai turned to look at the woman sitting next to him, "Yu'er, calm down, everyone was just joking."

Xie Huanyu didn't say anything more, but she also lost interest in playing. She immediately stood up from her seat.

"Okay, you guys have fun. Put tonight's expenses on my tab. I'm leaving now!"

Watching the woman's departing figure, Lu Huai's face gradually darkened, and then he let out a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning.

Things are getting more and more interesting, and he happens to be someone who enjoys challenges.

He wanted to see who would come out on top between him and Xu Yanshu.
