Chapter 188 What kind of man do you like?
Chu Rou smiled defiantly and replied, "I'm always waiting for you, I'm just afraid you won't dare to come!"
Ding Zhen squinted and turned to leave.
Chu Rou's bodyguard thoughtfully closed the door, shutting out Ding Zhen's repulsive back view.
Huang Shan and Qu Jie were both somewhat uneasy.
“Sister Chu Rou, you shouldn’t have messed with Ding Zhen,” Huang Shan said. “His family is a local tyrant in our D City, almost like a gangster, and they always like to play dirty tricks.”
"The underworld? Don't the police care?" Chu Rou asked curiously.
Qu Jie frowned. "Their family always does things discreetly and without leaving a trace. Even if you know it was them, you just can't find any evidence against them. Even if you have a clue, they'll just find a scapegoat and settle it for a few hundred thousand."
"How did you two end up getting involved with this guy surnamed Ding?" Chu Rou thought this kind of person was quite troublesome.
“It’s because the Ding family is too ambitious,” Huang Shan said angrily. “Ding Zhen initially had his eye on Qu Jie. She’s the only girl in her family, and the Ding family wanted to marry her and then live off the family’s infertility.”
"Qu Jie got annoyed by the harassment, so she cut her hair short and claimed to others that she liked women, and Ding Zhen finally stopped."
Qu Jie continued, picking up where Huang Shan left off: "It's not working out here. Ding Zhen has his eye on Shan Shan. Shan Shan is pampered at home and is pretty. Ding Zhen keeps harassing her. Shan Shan's brother has warned Ding Zhen many times, but it's no use."
"We both went to universities in City C to escape that scumbag, but who knew he would cause trouble at Shanshan's house."
Chu Rou lowered her eyes. No wonder Huang Shannian had never been home. Chasing after Shen Yan was an important reason, and wanting to avoid Ding Zhen, that scumbag, was probably another reason!
“I’m not afraid of Ding Zhen. I have the Qi family and the Mo family backing me up, and I spend most of my time in City B,” Chu Rou frowned. “Xiao Jie, Shan Shan, won’t your two families run into trouble in City D?”
Qu Jie shook her head. "Our family is fine. The Ding family wouldn't dare to do anything to us. Before, it was just that Ding Zhenzong was always hanging around us, which was a bit annoying."
"That's good, but you should still be careful. It's best to have someone with you," Chu Rou advised. She had learned her lesson the hard way and was most afraid of people who used underhanded tactics behind people's backs.
Seeing that there was still a lot of meat and vegetables left on the table, Chu Rou said, "Let's keep eating. Whoever ordered it should finish it. We can't waste food!"
Huang Shan and Shen Yan's hands were still tightly clasped, neither of them letting go.
Hearing Chu Rou's words, Huang Shan wanted to pick up her chopsticks to continue eating, only to find that her hand was still being held by Shen Yan. She lowered her head shyly, feeling secretly pleased.
"Shanshan, why aren't you eating?" Chu Rou asked.
"Huh?" Huang Shan looked up and moved her right hand. Shen Yan belatedly realized what was happening and let go of her hand.
Huang Shan was a little disappointed. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of dessert, and put it in her mouth.
Chu Rou glanced at Shen Yan and teased, "Brother Shen Yan, I really want Shan Shan to be my sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Shen Yan paused in his work, glared at Chu Rou, and said, "Xiao Rou, don't talk nonsense."
Chu Rou pouted, "I really like Shanshan. If you can't keep her, I'll introduce her to Qi Hang. If she can't be my sister-in-law, she can be my brother's wife."
Shen Yan's expression was complicated.
Shen Luo, standing to the side, was displeased. "Sis, you've gone too far! You're siding with us way too quickly. Now that you have a new brother, you're neglecting me and my older brother? And you're even trying to steal him from us!"
Chu Rou snorted coldly, "I'm just trying to give you a sense of crisis. If I can make you work, it proves that you're not doing a good enough job and are unqualified."
Shen Luo looked at Qu Jie with a pitiful expression, "Xiao Jie, if you dare to leave me, I'll kill myself."
Chu Rou slapped him across the face. "Chen Luo, can't you be a little more dignified? If you keep acting like this, I'll break your arms and legs and leave you in bed to recover, so you won't embarrass me when you go out."
Shen Luo rubbed her shoulders. "Sister, can you be a little gentler? I really wonder how Mo Chi puts up with you."
“My calligraphy is not as pathetic as yours,” Chu Rou rolled her eyes.
Shen Luo gagged. "Still calling me Mo Bao? Mo Bao isn't even here. How disgusting!"
"Shen Luo!" Chu Rou narrowed her eyes and glared fiercely at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo quickly stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth to shut herself up.
Qu Jie listened to the siblings bickering with a smile the whole time. She was quite envious of them; their relationship was really good.
Huang Shan and Shen Yan were both silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
...
After leaving Chu Rou's private room, Ding Zhen returned to his own. The others in the room, seeing him return, all asked, "Young Master Ding, did you see the beauty?"
Ding Zhen wouldn't reveal what had embarrassed him, so he vaguely said, "I saw him, had a drink with him, and then came back."
For the rest of the time, the people at the table kept toasting Ding Zhen, and Ding Zhen, feeling depressed, drank one glass after another.
Ding Zhen was eventually helped out of the hot pot restaurant by two bodyguards.
He muttered under his breath, "You bitch, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later. I didn't bring many men today, but tomorrow I'll have someone kidnap you, sleep with you, and then gang rape you!"
The bodyguards helped Ding Zhen to the car. Just as they were about to open the back door, several men appeared out of nowhere, pulled the two bodyguards away, and shoved Ding Zhen into the car, which then drove off.
Ding Zhen lay on his side in the back seat, half asleep, only feeling that the car was being driven rather erratically today, making him dizzy. "How do you drive? Slow down!"
Suddenly, the car braked sharply, and Ding Zhen tumbled off his seat. He cursed, "Damn it, do you want to die?!"
The car door was pulled open, and someone grabbed Ding Zhen by the ankle, dragged him out of the car, and threw him on the ground.
"Ouch, damn it!" Ding Zhen cursed in pain. He opened his eyes and saw a man wearing a mask.
He was sobered up by the fright. "Who...who are you? What do you want?"
"Cover his mouth," Qi Wende ordered coldly.
One of his men crouched down and covered Ding Zhen's mouth.
Qi Wende raised his foot and stomped down between Ding Zhen's legs, even stomping hard.
Ding Zhen was in so much pain that he trembled all over and finally fainted.
Qi Wende rubbed the sole of his shoe on Ding Zhen's clothes, "Send him back and clean up the traces."
"yes!"
...
After finishing their hot pot meal, Huang Shan and Shen Yan returned to Longxiangyuan.
Huang Shan was unusually quiet today. She changed into slippers, picked up her bag, and headed to her room.
Shen Yan called out to her, "Shanshan!"
Huang Shan turned to look at Shen Yan, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion. "What's wrong?"
Shen Yan walked over, looked down at her, and asked, "Shanshan, what kind of man do you like? Why doesn't he like you?"
Huang Shan was surprised that Shen Yan would ask this question, and she didn't know how to answer it.
After a few seconds of silence, she slowly spoke, "He... looks a lot like you!"
