Chapter 97 Let’s Sing Together
Seeing President Qian being hit, the two middle-aged men who had been laughing on the sofa instantly changed their expressions. One quickly supported the staggering President Qian to check his injuries, while the other with slicked-back hair stopped Gu Xiangyi from escaping.
The princesses drinking with them saw the fight and immediately ran out.
Gu Xiangyi straightened her hair, her face flushed with emotion, and though still angry, said, "What do you want to do, you stinking hooligans? I’m not someone easy to bully!"
The middle-aged man with the slicked-back hair sneered, "You stinky girl, you’re dead for hitting President Qian."
President Qian’s face twisted in pain. He viciously pointed at Gu Xiangyi, "Who do you think you are? If it weren’t for your looks, I wouldn’t even buy things from your Xiangyi Group. Xiangyang, Great Dragon, teach her a hard lesson for me."
The two middle-aged men grinned menacingly and approached Gu Xiangyi, who, feeling frightened, retreated to the corner of the private room.
"Don’t mess around; my husband is amazing."
The two middle-aged men cornered Gu Xiangyi, exchanged a sleazy smile, and leered, "Heh, how amazing is your husband? We’re much tougher than your husband. Want to try?"
Gu Xiangyi was so angry that her hands trembled. She quickly reached into her bag for her phone, "My husband is Xu Xiangbei. He’s nearby, and if I call him, he’ll come over."
Due to her excitement and fear, as soon as she got her phone, it slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, rolling to the feet of the slicked-back middle-aged man.
The slicked-back middle-aged man’s mouth twitched slightly, and his face showed a horrified expression when Gu Xiangyi mentioned Xu Xiangbei. The other middle-aged man was about to lunge at Gu Xiangyi but was held back by the slicked-back man.
The slicked-back man was none other than Wang Xiangyang, whose hand Xu Xiangbei had once broken on Anhe Road.
He knew that Xu Xiangbei had close ties with the Liu Family and couldn’t be offended.
The scene of his hand being broken by Xu Xiangbei sometimes appeared in his nightmares, and thinking about it still made him break out in a cold sweat.
He worked in construction engineering and had many acquaintances in this circle. Just a couple of days ago, an incident occurred where a familiar construction team, a group known for fighting with steel pipes, all ended up in the hospital. Rumor had it that a young man named Xu Xiangbei was responsible.
Wang Xiangyang picked up the phone from the floor, handed it over, and with a lifeless look on his face, still held on to a bit of hope, "Your husband is Xu Xiangbei, right? A tall, thin guy who often wears a grandpa shirt?"
Gu Xiangyi was a bit surprised and took the proffered phone, asking in confusion, "That’s him. Do you know him?"
Cold sweat trickled down Wang Xiangyang’s forehead. He hurriedly opened the door of the private room for Gu Xiangyi and said alertly, "I didn’t know you were married. I’m sorry, you can go."
President Qian seemed to have recovered a bit from his pain and roared angrily at Wang Xiangyang, "Wang Xiangyang, do you want to work with me or not? This girl hit me, and you’re going to let her go?"
Wang Xiangyang quickly explained, "President Qian, she’s Xu Xiangbei’s wife. Xu Xiangbei is closely connected with Liu Hongan and cannot be offended."
President Qian gave Gu Xiangyi a cold look, his Big Gold Tooth constantly shining under the light, "I’ve heard the Liu Family is somehow connected to your Xiangyi Group, but we’re on separate paths from the Liu Family, not interfering with each other. You hit me and want to leave? No way."
A tune hummed in the corridor as Xu Xiangbei walked in, smoking a cigarette, looking at the tense, cornered Gu Xiangyi with a leer, "What’s all the shouting about, with this no way, there is a way? Why aren’t you just singing?"
Seeing Xu Xiangbei come in, Gu Xiangyi immediately regained her smile, wiping away the tears that had been in her eyes.
When Wang Xiangyang saw Xu Xiangbei enter, his face first looked terrible, then he plastered on a smile and said, "Brother Xu, here to sing? I’ll go fetch you some beer."
He lowered his head, intending to slip past Xu Xiangbei, but was lightly grabbed by the arm.
Instantly, he broke into a cold sweat, his feet rooted to the spot, not daring to take another step.
The scene of his hand being broken seemed about to repeat itself, scaring him into pushing all the blame onto President Qian.
"I’m sorry, Brother Xu, I didn’t know she was your wife. I didn’t bully her. I even picked up her phone when she dropped it. I didn’t even touch her clothes. I just came with President Qian to sing. I didn’t know he used the excuse of payment to harass your wife."
Xu Xiangbei smiled, gently patting Wang Xiangyang’s clothes, and handed over a microphone from the table.
"Look at you. I just want you to sing a song with me. I didn’t mean to break your hand. What are you so scared of? Why do you call me Brother Xu? Am I older than you? How could you curse me like that?"
Gu Xiangyi burst into laughter, "What do you want to sing? I’ll pick it for you."
"Find me a song called ’The Girl Misses the Boy.’"
Gu Xiangyi couldn’t help but laugh again; it was amusing that such a vibrant young man wanted to sing such an old-fashioned song.
But Wang Xiangyang couldn’t manage a smile, taking the microphone with a miserable face, unbelieving that Xu Xiangbei stopping him was just about singing together.
The music started as Xu Xiangbei was about to sing, but President Qian slammed the pause button furiously, pointing at Xu Xiangbei, "Who do you think you are, barging in here and causing trouble? Do you think I’m invisible? Wang Xiangyang is spineless, Great Dragon, give this guy a beating, and I’ll take all the responsibility."
The other middle-aged man, Great Dragon, was with Wang Xiangyang. He knew Wang Xiangyang was a domineering person who rarely put others in his eyes. But today, in front of an unremarkable young man, he was all nervous. This young man was definitely not an ordinary person.
Xu Xiangbei smiled at the middle-aged man named Great Dragon, as if inviting him for tea, "It’s our first time meeting. Do you want to give me a beating?"
Wang Xiangyang quickly signaled Great Dragon with his eyes, meaning whatever you do, don’t make a move, or you’ll regret it terribly.
Having mixed in society for so long, Great Dragon understood this hint and felt something was wrong, thinking just like Wang Xiangyang, that the best stratagem was to run.
He answered with a smile, "It’s our first meeting, no grudges, no hatred; why would I hit you? I’m just here to sing too. I didn’t even touch your wife’s clothes. By the way, I’ve got porridge on the stove at home, gotta go turn the fire off. Goodbye, Brother Wang, President Qian."
After saying this, he left without looking back. Xu Xiangbei clicked his tongue, praising, "That Great Dragon is clever, has a future."
Seeing no one to help him, President Qian was furious. He swung a bottle from the table at Xu Xiangbei’s head, showing off his Big Gold Tooth, cursing, "Get cocky, I’ll smash you."
But he found out Xu Xiangbei, who had been standing right in front of him, had disappeared. Then he felt like he was flying through the air and was thrown onto the sofa.
