In the living room of the Ning family villa, a crystal chandelier reflected a cold light. Ning Xiuyan lazily leaned on an Italian leather sofa, his slender fingers gripping a goblet, the dark red wine swirling slowly within.
His suit jacket was casually draped over the armrest of the sofa, and his shirt cuffs were rolled up, revealing a million-dollar Patek Philippe watch.
With a loud "bang", the door of the villa was pushed open.
Ning Yunmeng limped in, her carefully styled curly hair disheveled, her right Jimmy Choo high heels missing, and her stockings torn in several places.
The delicate makeup on her face was smudged by tears, making her look like a refugee escaping from a disaster scene.
"Second brother!" she cried, her voice piercingly sharp.
Ning Xiuyan slowly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over her disheveled appearance, a playful smile curling up the corners of his lips: "What, were you beaten?"
He shook his wine glass, and his tone was so frivolous as if he was talking about today's weather.
Ning Yunmeng rushed to the sofa and grabbed Ning Xiuyan's sleeve with her carefully manicured nails, causing the expensive fabric to wrinkle immediately.
"It was Ning Xiwan!" she gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. "She humiliated me in public and even got two boys to bully me together!"
"Oh?" Ning Xiuyan raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. He slowly pulled back his sleeve, took a tissue from the coffee table and handed it to her, "Wipe it off! Your makeup is all smudged."
Ning Yunmeng took the tissue but deliberately didn't wipe it off, leaving two black tear marks on her face from the smudged eyeliner, making her look even more pitiful.
"That Duan Shuce and Ye Qingliu," she sobbed, "the three of them teamed up to bully me! Ye Qingliu even threatened to drive our stock price down to the limit!"
Ning Xiuyan's fingers suddenly tightened, and the crystal glass made a slight "click" sound.
"Tell me in detail." His voice suddenly turned cold.
Ning Yunmeng recounted the story with some exaggeration, of course omitting the part where she was the first to provoke him.
At the end of her words, she looked at Ning Xiuyan with red eyes: "Second brother, you must help me vent this anger!"
Ning Xiuyan suddenly smiled, and that smile made Ning Yunmeng shrink back unconsciously.
He stood up and walked to the French window. Looking at the gardener pruning the shrubs in the garden, he said slowly, "I remember last month, Ning Xiwan kicked me into the swimming pool in front of the whole family."
His voice was soft, but it made the temperature in the living room drop sharply. Ning Yunmeng knew that this was a sign that her second brother was really angry.
"Yes, yes..." she whispered.
Ning Xiuyan turned around, his expression dark in the backlight: "Perfect, let's settle the old and new accounts together."
At dusk, neon lights flickered on the commercial street, and various signs competed for attention in the twilight. Ning Xiwan, biting her straw, walked slowly in front, followed by two teenagers in different school uniforms.
Ye Qingliu held her milk tea in her left hand and a thick collection of competition questions in her right hand. Her gray-blue eyes shone coldly under the neon lights.
Duan Shuce lazily put his hands in his pockets, and from time to time reached out to fiddle with Ning Xiwan's ponytail, which caused her to glare at him in dissatisfaction.
"Wanwan, will you come to the school anniversary next week?" Duan Shuce suddenly asked, curling a strand of her hair with his fingers.
Ning Xiwan slapped his hand away: "It depends." She turned to look at Ye Qingliu, "Son, is your school also going to hold a school anniversary?"
Ye Qingliu nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly stopped. Duan Shuce's lazy expression almost disappeared at the same time, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Ning Xiwan narrowed her eyes and curled up the corners of her mouth in a sneer.
Seven or eight burly men walked out of the alley. The leader, a scarred man, was nearly 1.9 meters tall. His muscles made his tight black T-shirt bulge out. A hideous scar on his right cheek extended from the corner of his eye to his chin.
He was holding a steel pipe in his hand and tapping it gently on his palm.
"Three of you," Scarface grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, "will you come with us?"
Ning Xiwan slowly put the milk tea into Ye Qingliu's hand: "Son, take it."
Her voice was sickeningly sweet, but her eyes were as cold as ice.
Ye Qingliu took it expressionlessly and stuffed the competition question set into his schoolbag. Duan Shuce had already started flexing his wrists, a sly grin on his face: "Wanwan, let me go first this time?"
Scarface was irritated by their attitude: "Damn it, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
He swung the steel pipe and hit Duan Shuce.
The following scene can be described as a violent aesthetic.
Duan Shuce dodged the steel pipe with a sideways motion and struck Scarface's abdomen with his right fist. As Scarface bent over, he clamped his left hand on the back of his neck and slammed his right knee into his face. Blood immediately gushed from Scarface's nose.
At the same time, Ning Xiwan dashed into the crowd. Her movements were so fast that they left afterimages. Her long legs traced a sharp arc in the air, and a roundhouse kick sent the two burly men flying.
When she landed, she supported herself on the ground with one hand, grabbed the wrist of the third fighter with the other hand, and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Ye Qingliu stood still, but whenever someone tried to attack him, he would accurately throw the milk tea cup, schoolbag or anything else at hand.
A thug holding a steel pipe rushed towards Ning Xiwan from behind. Ye Qingliu's eyes turned cold and the competition question book in his hand flew out of his hand. The heavy book hit the man's face accurately with a dull "bang".
Three minutes later, the alley was littered with groans of groans. Ning Xiwan stepped on Scarface's wrist and looked down at him, "Who sent you here?"
