Gu Yibei led Ji Zhinan away from the scene. As soon as the two left, the bosses couldn't hold back any longer and surrounded Bai Chuan, who was still there.
"Assistant Bai, is Young Master Gu angry?"
"We really didn't mean to not protect Chairman Ji..."
"Assistant Bai, could you please put in a good word for us with Mr. Gu?"
Although everyone present was a CEO of a company, Gu Yibei and his group couldn't afford to offend any of them. They understood what Gu Yibei had just said: they hadn't protected Ji Zhinan today, so they were all on Gu Yibei's blacklist, and he was going to deal with them one by one.
But... they were genuinely wronged. That brainless Liang Wanyin did provoke Ji Zhinan and said some really nasty things. But Young Master Gu, your wife isn't someone to be trifled with either. She almost made him faint on the spot with just a few words. Why do we have to protect her? *sobs*
Bai Chuan chuckled: "My husband only has this one precious child, and he still protects and spoils him. It's not that I'm being unreasonable, but everyone really didn't think things through today, causing my wife to suffer.
Considering they helped share the dog food, Shirakawa kindly reminded them, "However, our master is not one to stick to his principles. He will naturally not let those who have bullied our lady get away with it. As for you all... it's never too late to mend your ways."
After leaving those words behind, Shirakawa led his men away.
Everyone looked at each other, then silently looked at Liang Wanyin, whose face was so pale it seemed to blend into the night.

In the car, Ji Zhinan, wearing a man's coat, stared intently at Gu Yibei, who was still on the phone.
He's been really busy lately; he's been on the phone ever since he got in the car.
Seeing that the man had hung up the phone, Ji Zhinan finally spoke: "Why are you here?"
She had no idea.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yibei shifted his attention from his phone to her: "Knowing that my wife is here to pick peach blossoms, I'm afraid her hands will hurt, so I'll do it myself."
Ji Zhinan was amused: "You know it's your bad luck in love?"
"After meeting you, my proud red rose, all my energy was focused on you. Who knew there were still other unwanted suitors I hadn't dealt with?"
Gu Yibei's answer pleased Ji Zhinan greatly, and her mood improved considerably.
"You know how to smile now?" Gu Yibei pinched her soft little face. "Smile more often from now on, I like it."
Ji Zhinan pried the man's hand away: "I'm not a prostitute."
Gu Yibei: "The reward I'm offering is very tempting. Are you sure you don't want to sell your smile?"
"What kind of reward?" Ji Zhinan asked, intrigued.
The man grabbed her hand and touched it to his face: "Me."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shirakawa said, "...Sir, you'd better call Mr. James back as soon as possible. We haven't received your reply, and Mr. James has even called me. My phone is burning hot..."
Damn it! He should have gone home with the bodyguards. He must have been out of his mind to get into that dog-abusing expert's car.
Shirakawa was filled with remorse.
…………
When they returned to Villa No. 1, the maids were cleaning, and Eddie was sitting at the bar next to them looking at his computer.
"Miss, Young Master Gu."
Hearing the voice, Eddie looked up: "You're back."
Judging from their attire: "Did they just come back from a banquet?"
“Brother.” Ji Zhinan walked over.
Seeing his younger sister, Eddie smiled sweetly: "Good girl."
