Chapter 85 Successfully escaped!
Such a thing happened at the banquet held by his family, and Zhou Qinglan, the host, wanted to stand by and watch, staying out of it, and watching her being bullied.
That's absolutely impossible!
When she got angry, she just made a big fuss and asked Uncle Hat to come over to see if the Zhou family could afford to lose face.
Sure enough, Zhou Qinglan's expression changed when he heard this. He looked at Yan Ruo with a smile on his lips, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"I heard that Miss Yan resigned from Xu's two or three months ago. Is Mr. Xu going to turn against our Zhou family just for a former employee?"
Yan Ruo shrugged, "I don't know if they'll turn against each other. But... if they can't even guarantee the safety of the guests at the banquet, I'm afraid Mr. Xu wouldn't choose such a partner."
Zhou Qinglan exchanged glances with the man standing next to Liu Changming and sneered.
"Well, since Miss Yan feels unsafe in the hotel, I will arrange for someone to take you away."
How could Yan Ruo not notice those subtle changes in her expression? After hearing what she said, instead of feeling happy, her heart sank.
I thought it was a pure little white flower, but it turned out to be an evil carnivorous plant.
Zhou Qinglan's words were quite nice, and she asked someone to send her away.
But what happens after leaving?
She could no longer control where she would be sent and whether anyone would follow her.
Maybe it will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Moreover, if she left the hotel, even if something really happened, it would not be blamed on the Zhou family. She really had a good plan.
Yan Ruo pursed her lips slightly, with a cold look between her eyebrows.
Her finger hovered over the phone screen, ready to call the police at any time. Even in this situation with no evidence, she wondered if the man in the hat would say she was making a false alarm.
As her mind raced, she accidentally glanced at the man who had just gotten out of the car at the hotel entrance, and Yan Ruo instantly saw a turning point.
"I won't bother Miss Zhou anymore."
After saying that, he looked directly at the man who had just entered the hotel door, "Second Young Master is here to attend the banquet too? It's a pity that he seems to be late."
Zhou Qinglan's appearance just now clearly showed that he was coming to the door to pick someone up. And Xu Shaochuan just happened to be coming over.
It seems that the Zhou family has some kind of unknown cooperation with Xu Shaochuan or Xu Erye. I deliberately waited until most of the people had dispersed before coming to meet privately.
Yan Ruo was in a very bad mood at the moment, and asked this question even though he knew the answer, just to annoy these two people.
Xu Shaochuan turned his head to look at Yan Ruo, then looked at the situation where they were facing each other at the lobby door, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
"Miss Yan, are you performing the Three Kingdoms here?"
Yan Ruo's originally tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed for a moment, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Yes, just waiting for the Second Young Master to come and decide everything."
Xu Shaochuan raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy flashing across his eyes, "It's been a while since we last met, Miss Yan is still so interesting."
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily and he was completely ignored, Zhou Qinglan's eyes flashed with displeasure.
"Mr. Xu, my father asked me to pick you up. It's getting late, so let's go upstairs first."
As he said this, he was about to lead Xu Shaochuan away.
Xu Shaochuan glanced at the man who had been standing not far away, staring at him with an ambiguous look.
Finally, he nodded and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't reminisce with Miss Yan."
Seeing that he was really about to follow Zhou Qinglan, Yan Ru quickly took two steps forward and blocked Xu Shaochuan.
Before Xu Shaochuan could speak, Zhou Qinglan's face turned cold.
"Miss Yan, my father and Mr. Xu have important matters to discuss. Please don't waste their time."
Yan Ruo ignored her and looked straight at Xu Shaochuan who looked like he was enjoying the show.
"My car broke down. I wonder if I could trouble the Second Young Master's driver to take me back to the hotel."
Xu Shaochuan turned around, raised his hand to look at his watch, with a half-smile on his face.
"My driver does have an hour free, and I'm happy to help, but it's not good to ask him to work overtime to take you there for no reason."
Zhou Qinglan smiled faintly when he heard this, with the sarcasm in his eyes not concealed at all.
Yan Ruo's expression did not change. She just took a step forward and leaned close to Xu Shaochuan's ear, speaking softly.
"Then, Second Young Master, do you want to know what your father, Second Master Xu, did on the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago?"
Xu Shaochuan suddenly raised his eyes, and his smiling face instantly turned gloomy.
"What do you want to say?"
Yan Ruo tilted her head, "Second Master, are you sure you want me to say this here?"
Xu Shaochuan glanced around with a cold expression, and finally his eyes stopped on Yan Ruo, his gaze like ice.
Yan Ruo didn't take it seriously and was in a mood to smile at him.
She has seen all kinds of big scenes in the years she has followed Xu Shaoyu, so how could she be afraid of Xu Shaochuan's cold face?
Finally, Xu Shaochuan said to Zhou Qinglan, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, I have some personal matters to take care of. I have to go back today. I'll treat you and Mr. Zhou to dinner next time."
After saying that, he didn't care how ugly Zhou Qinglan's face was, and pulled Yan Ruo out.
After taking just two steps, the man who had been standing next to Liu Changming took two steps forward and blocked their way.
Xu Shaochuan was in a very bad mood now. He suppressed his anger and said, "Get out!"
The man was obviously shocked by his aura, but he still spoke.
"Sorry, my young master said that the woman behind you must be taken back today."
Pushing Yan Ruo behind him, Xu Shaochuan slowly loosened the buttons of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves.
Although Xu Shaochuan was alone, Yan Ru was not worried at all.
The old man of the Xu family has always believed in the principle that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. The Xu brothers have been practicing Sanda since childhood. She has seen Xu Shaoyu fighting with her own eyes and he is very strong.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Zhou Qinglan, who had been staying out of the matter, finally spoke up.
"You dare to come here and cause trouble today? Don't you take my Zhou family seriously?"
The man didn't know Xu Shaochuan, so he didn't have many scruples in what he said and did, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
He immediately lowered his head slightly and said, "Miss Zhou, my young master just wants to talk to that young lady about something. He has no intention of disturbing the Zhou family's banquet."
"Who is your young master?" Yan Ruo poked her head out from behind Xu Shaochuan.
I had been drugged and chased that night, and no one had taken advantage of my misfortune. Now that I had finally found someone to back me up, the pent-up anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
"I don't even know your young master's first and last name, what can I say to him?"
"Let's get a hotel room and chat. Doesn't your young master just want to act like a gangster? And you have the nerve to say it so righteously."
Because of this unexpected attack, Xu Shaochuan's sullen expression softened a lot.
Even Zhou Qinglan looked at Yan Ruo with some surprise. No wonder she dared to threaten her just now. This woman was really brave.
The Zhou family members were watching from the side, and Xu Shaochuan looked like he was ready to fight at any time.
Men are also afraid of making things too big and difficult to resolve, so they can only reluctantly give way.
Liu Changming was the most slippery. He slipped away the moment Xu Shaochuan appeared.
Finally leaving the hotel, the moment he got in the car, his heart finally settled down and Yan Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Shaochuan, who got in the car shortly afterwards, immediately spoke up, "Can you tell me about what you just said now?"
