Gu Qingyan was facing away from the hotel, smoking with a frustrated expression, completely unaware of Wei Qiao walking aggressively towards him.
Just as Wei Qiao had walked to within about a meter of him, Huang Lin happened to come over with water from the car. Seeing Wei Qiao's appearance, he knew something was wrong and immediately shouted to the stunned Gu Qingyan, "President Gu, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but frown. He turned around impatiently and saw Wei Qiao standing opposite him, cold and aloof.
He threw away his cigarette butt, then stomped it out on the ground. He looked up and sneered at Wei Qiao, saying, "What? Wasn't kicking me out enough? Now you want to chase me out and beat me up?"
"Pretty much. I didn't expect you to be so self-aware." Wei Qiao curled the corner of her lips, giving him a cold look, and said in a chilling voice, "Didn't I already tell you to get out of here right now, or I'd beat you up again if I saw you?"
"I'm already out." Gu Qingyan looked at him, shrugged indifferently, pointed with her chin at the hotel across the street, and said with a displeased expression, "Look carefully, the place I'm standing on right now isn't inside the hotel. What can you do to me from here?"
"Surprised? Gu Qingyan, the place you're standing on now is also Rong family territory." Wei Qiao sneered and glanced at him disdainfully.
Gu Qingyan's lips were pressed into a straight line; this was practically a slap in the face.
Clearly, he hadn't expected it to turn out this way.
"I want to wait for Zhi Qiu to come out, see her briefly, and then I'll leave immediately," Gu Qingyan said, calming herself down and struggling internally before suppressing her anger.
"No need! Gu Qingyan, I advise you to get lost. Our young lady doesn't want to see you. Just looking at you annoys her!"
Wei Qiao waved her hand impatiently and said disdainfully, not giving him any face at all.
"Hey, you! How dare you talk to our CEO Gu like that?" Huang Lin was furious that Gu Qingyan was being humiliated like this. He immediately became protective of his boss, grabbed a bottle of water, and rushed over to Wei Qiao, shouting at him.
"Oh?" Wei Qiao glanced at him disdainfully. "What, when your boss Gu was being beaten up at the Rong family, why didn't you rush to help him take the beating? Now you're jumping out to show off?"
Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, Huang Lin blushed and awkwardly explained, "That's because I wasn't there." As he spoke, he quickly turned to Gu Qingyan and pledged his loyalty, "President Gu, you must believe me. If I had been there, I would have stood in front of you without hesitation."
Gu Qingyan frowned, glanced at him, and remained noncommittal.
"I told you to get out of here." Wei Qiao was completely impatient, her face full of anger, and she gave him the final order to leave.
"Heh, what if I don't leave?" Gu Qingyan was also a little unconvinced. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. The more you try to drive me away, the less willing I am to leave."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bodyguard drove up in front of him.
"Brother Wei, we'll be going now." The bodyguard paused in front of Wei Qiao, rolled down the car window, and said respectfully to Wei Qiao.
"Okay, go ahead and go. Call me if you have any problems." Wei Qiao turned around and looked over. Yan Yan had just rolled down her car window.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Yan, who was holding a large bottle of cola, quickly unscrewed the cap and pointed the bottle at Gu Qingyan, who was next to Wei Qiao.
On the way here, she had been shaking it frantically for a while. Now, as soon as she opened the lid, the liquid inside gushed out with such force that it knocked off Gu Qingyan's glasses.
The cola drenched Gu Qingyan from head to toe, the brown liquid rolling down his hair and onto his face, soaking his shirt and jacket.
At this moment, his hair was a mess, the style he had done so well in the morning was now plastered crookedly to his scalp and forehead, as if he had just been pulled out of dirty water.
Gu Qingyan wiped her face in a disheveled state, trying to remove the cola from her face, but the cola in her hair was dripping down like a broken string.
The liquid on his neck flowed down his shirt and into the folds of his collar. A cold wind blew, and he felt a chill to the bone. Gu Qingyan couldn't help but shiver.
"Damn it! Huang Lin, are you out of your mind?! You were just confidently saying you'd stand in front of me, why didn't you? You even dodged a little? What? Afraid of getting yourself wet?"
Gu Qingyan was so angry that Huang Lin dodged her, her face contorted with rage. She pointed at him and started cursing.
Huang Lin cautiously approached, quickly picked up the glasses from the ground, wiped them clean with his clothes, and handed them to Gu Qingyan from a distance, saying, "I'm sorry, President Gu, I really didn't realize what was happening."
"Pah, scumbag!" Yan Yan sneered and threw the empty Coke bottle in her hand at Gu Qingyan. The bottle hit his head before falling to the ground.
Gu Qingyan's face was full of humiliation. He clenched his fists and walked directly towards the car.
Wei Qiao raised his hand, winked at Yan Yan, and then urged the bodyguard, "Hurry up and drive Miss Yan Yan to the hospital, don't delay her condition."
The bodyguard immediately stepped on the gas and drove away from the scene.
"You just let her go like that?" Gu Qingyan felt his dignity being trampled on and rubbed into the ground. A strong sense of anger surged into his heart. His face turned red, and he turned around, grabbed Wei Qiao's collar, pulled hard, and raised his fist towards his face.
"Hehe, I'm just waiting for you to get so angry that you'll make a move, so I can beat you up with a legitimate reason!" Wei Qiao smirked, looking at him with a mocking expression. "That way, I can beat you so badly you'll be crawling on the ground with your teeth knocked out!"
Gu Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You dare to spout such nonsense all by yourself? I'm a trained fighter, you think I'm afraid of you? Bring it on, let's see who's lying on the ground unable to get up today!"
"Who said I'm all alone?" Wei Qiao narrowed her eyes, glanced at him sideways with a contemptuous look on her face, then reached out and shook off Gu Qingyan's hand, saying with disgust, "Get away from me, you're all sticky and filthy from all that Coke."
After saying that, he raised his right hand and waved in the direction of the hotel.
Suddenly, several people in black uniforms ran out from both sides of the hotel.
