Chapter 36 The Beautiful Woman
Jiang Shiyuan's fingers suddenly lost their strength, and the broken wine bottle fell to the ground with a thud.
Her delicate face was fair with a rosy glow. Her body trembled, and she leaned back, sinking into a firm and upright chest.
At this moment, she was both angry and panicked. The world spun before her eyes, and the noise around her seemed to come and go.
But she vaguely felt the man's arms wrap around her waist from behind, and through the smooth silk, she could even feel the strong shape of his muscles.
It swelled and bulged, pressing against her flat, soft belly.
Instantly, the tattooed man's head was bleeding profusely. He had gotten exactly what he wanted, and he was thrilled with himself.
He winced in pain, about to unleash a torrent of curses.
Just then, the handsome man, with his right arm around Jiang Shiyuan, whose face was flushed, raised his hand, which was adorned with an exquisite steel-strapped watch, its sharp lines and slightly bulging veins, and placed his index finger between his thin lips.
Shhh——
The tattooed man was suddenly startled.
Before he could react, two bodyguards in black jumped out from behind him, covered his mouth, and dragged him away quickly.
As if nothing had happened, the people on the dance floor were still partying wildly, completely oblivious to the bloodshed that had just occurred.
"What a beautiful and charming woman!"
A tall, slender, and handsome man walked over, looked at Jiang Shiyuan who was already drowsy in the man's arms, and teased with a playful tone, "What? You've taken a fancy to her?"
The man's large hand gripped Jiang Shiyuan's slender waist, gently helping her sit back on the sofa, his movements tender, his brows furrowed.
"What? Are you jealous?"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! My goodness, have you chosen narcissism over arrogance and confidence?"
The handsome man rolled his eyes, laughing in exasperation. "I wish you two would go to bed together tonight and go public with your relationship tomorrow. I'm sick of being your 'rumored boyfriend' for so long!"
The man lowered his gaze, looking at the person in his arms, a low, magnetic laugh escaping his throat:
"It's your good fortune to have rumors about me."
"Hey~tui~ It's all because of you that I can't find a partner! You don't eat meat yourself, but you drag me into being a vegetarian! You jerk, you ruined my youth!"
Jiang Shiyuan's almond-shaped eyes, misty with tears, were half-closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She tilted her head and leaned against the man's chest.
Quiet and well-behaved, like a sleepy little white cat.
The man looked down at her, his rough fingertips gently wiping away the glistening moisture from the corner of her lips.
"This young lady is so drunk, she must have had quite a bit to drink."
The handsome man rubbed his hands together, bent down to look at Jiang Shiyuan's flushed face, and said, "Could it be alcohol poisoning? Come, let this imperial physician check this young lady's pulse to make sure she's alright..."
He had just reached out when the man swung his long arm and slapped it away with a loud crack.
"Ouch... You're really possessive of your food!" The handsome man frowned, shaking his hand in pain.
Just then, Jiang Shiyuan's phone, which was lying on the sofa, vibrated.
The man looked at the words "Senior Brother" on the screen, his eyes darkening slightly as he answered the call, holding the phone to his ear:
"Hello?"
Over there, Ye Yu was suddenly taken aback, "You are...?"
The man's thin lips moved slightly, and the emotions in his eyes were imperceptibly concealed.
"Miss Jiang is now overstepping the line, Card Number Seven, she's drunk."
Ye Yu was taken aback, and said hurriedly, "Okay, thank you! I'll be right there!"
...
"A-Yuan? A-Yuan?"
Jiang Shiyuan slowly opened her eyes to the gentle calls.
What came into view was Ye Yuqing's handsome face, looking at her with deep concern.
"Hmm... Senior brother? What brings you here?" Jiang Shiyuan rubbed his eyes, his drunkenness dissipating somewhat.
“When I called you, a staff member at the bar answered and told me that you were drunk. I was afraid something had happened to you, so I rushed over to find you immediately.”
Ye Yu asked for a glass of warm water and brought it to Jiang Shiyuan's moist, rosy lips. "A-Yuan, drink some water and wake up."
"Staff?" Jiang Shiyuan asked, taking a sip of water.
She recalled that when she was being sexually assaulted, a man suddenly appeared and helped her out of the situation.
But she couldn't remember what happened after that, nor did she see the man's face.
Ye Yu frowned, still feeling lingering fear. "A girl as good as you, coming to a place like this and getting so drunk, how dangerous! Who knows how many wolves are eyeing you like a lamb?"
"Ah! Xi'er! Where's my friend?!" Jiang Shiyuan hurriedly sat up, looking around.
"Is that the lady in the red dress? She's here." Ye Yu smiled wryly and swayed slightly.
Su Xier was already passed out on the sofa, sprawled out on her back.
Fearing she might be exposed, Ye Yu considerately covered her with his suit jacket.
Jiang Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.
Ye Yu was both amused and exasperated. "A-Yuan, your friend is really a handful. She was groped on the dance floor, and the man thought he had succeeded in his scheme, but your friend beat him up in zero frames, knocking out his front teeth."
Even two men together couldn't beat her; she's too fierce.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled with satisfaction.
If Ye Yu knew that his friend was a highly skilled professional bodyguard, he wouldn't have been so surprised.
"My trip wasn't in vain. Not only did I pick you up, but I also helped her settle a lawsuit on the spot. Those two bastards ran away as soon as they saw I was a lawyer. You have to tell her to use the law to protect herself in the future, and not to resort to violence, or she'll suffer the consequences."
Ye Yu blinked, feigning seriousness. "However, remember to have her settle the lawyer's fees later; I'm very expensive."
...
On the other side, outside the gate that crosses the boundary.
The Rolls-Royce with license plate 8899 came to a smooth stop. Han Xu opened the door, and Xie Jinghuai stepped out gracefully.
Immediately afterwards, another black Lamborghini drove up and joined the Xie family's vehicle at the rear.
A man dressed in a striking burgundy suit and sporting platinum blonde hair bent down as he got out of the car, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He exuded an air of nonchalance and unbridled charm.
He is Xie Jinghuai's childhood friend, Shen Zhantang, the young master of the Shen Group.
"Hey bro, I heard you've been having a bit of bad luck lately?"
With a cigarette between his fingers, Shen Zhantang brushed a stray strand of hair from his forehead and put his right arm around Xie Jinghuai's broad shoulder. "Today, Xie's stock price plummeted like a green hat on a man's head. Now, when I go out, all the people in the industry are talking about is Nora terminating her contract with you."
I reckon even if you get divorced one day, the news won't be as sensational as this.
The word "divorce" tugged at Xie Jinghuai's sensitive nerves, and he brushed away the hand that was on his shoulder with a gloomy expression.
As a result, Shen Zhantang, completely oblivious to the situation, pressed on: "But speaking of which, Ah Huai, when exactly are you getting a divorce? When you got married, you told us you would get a divorce within a year. Later, that Miss Jiang got pregnant with your child, and you said you would definitely get a divorce within three years."
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye; if we hold on any longer, it'll be the seven-year itch. Have you become addicted to her and don't want a divorce?
Xie Jinghuai clenched his jaw, his jawline sharp as a knife. "Haven't you heard that talking too much nonsense can cause kidney deficiency?"
Shen Zhantang scoffed dismissively, raising an eyebrow. "I can stand a person on my kidneys, super long standby time. Don't believe me? Let's fight!"
"Crazy." The man glanced at him with disdain.
Suddenly, Shen Zhantang stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling on the black Bugatti parked at the entrance, his jawline tightening abruptly.
One second his eyes were playful and carefree, the next they darkened.
