Chapter 241: Slapping Her Hurts My Hand Too
Gu Beicheng and Chi He came out of the elevator and had only taken a few steps when they were blocked by Le Qingqing.Le Qingqing’s hair was disheveled, and there were two slap marks on her face. This disheveled Lady Le was a sight that everyone in the company was seeing for the first time.
Including Gu Beicheng and Chi He.
Chi He looked at her in surprise: "Lady Le, how did you...end up like this?"
The Le Family is one of the top three clients of the Imperial Group in Ye City, nobody here would dare to lay a hand on Le Qingqing.
Unless...
Sure enough, when he lifted his eyes, he saw Xia Yinian standing in front of Tang Fei.
Chi He felt a bit conflicted; from his position, he of course did not want any conflict between the Imperial Group and the Le Family.
But, Xia Yinian was under Seventh Young Master, and that was something he couldn’t interfere with.
Gu Beicheng’s gaze also passed over Le Qingqing, landing on Xia Yinian, his expression unreadable as if in deep thought.
The young girl brought by Seventh Young Master had offended even the second young lady of the Le Family!
Many were waiting to see Gu Beicheng stand up for Le Qingqing and deal with Xia Yinian.
Even though everyone didn’t particularly like Le Qingqing, after all, she was someone of status and standing.
Losing to someone of status and standing is always better than losing to some brash young girl!
Gu Beicheng remained silent and walked forward.
The dominance in his demeanor made it clear that no one dared to stand in his way or obstruct his path.
Therefore, as Gu Beicheng stepped forward, Le Qingqing immediately stepped aside.
Gu Beicheng walked up to Xia Yinian, looking down at her from a height.
"I hit her." Although Xia Yinian felt somewhat intimidated by his cold gaze, she spoke up as she was responsible for her actions.
If she didn’t admit it, then the blame would fall on Tang Fei.
"Beicheng, look, she hit someone and still shows no remorse. Where did this wild girl come from?"
Le Qingqing, not wanting to be left out, quickly walked over: "Beicheng, I had an appointment with you today, I didn’t come here for no reason."
"I know you don’t like to talk about non-work-related matters during office hours, but I really had it arranged with you, did you forget?"
"Um." Gu Beicheng nodded.
He was willing to entertain her!
With that, Le Qingqing felt reassured that Gu Beicheng was on her side.
She then extended her hands, which were dotted with red spots after having been pricked by a cactus, toward Gu Beicheng.
"Beicheng, look, my hands are all bruised because of her! She hit me!"
Her whiny voice was almost enough to give everyone in the lobby goosebumps.
As vicious as Le Qingqing was earlier, now she was just as nauseating!
Finally, Gu Beicheng lowered his head to glance at her, but it wasn’t her hands he saw—rather, his indifferent gaze swept across her face.
"Lady Le, you are neither my girlfriend nor my family member. Don’t you find it disgusting to talk to me in such a tone?"
Le Qingqing was stunned, completely unsure if she had misheard.
What... what did he just say? Disgusting?
How could that be? How could he possibly use such words?
But Gu Beicheng was no longer looking at her, only at Xia Yinian: "Care to explain?"
Xia Yinian bit her lip, clearly noticing the gleam of mockery in his eyes.
She took a deep breath, and the next second, she unexpectedly lunged forward, hugging him.
"Beicheng, she tried to hit me, I was just defending myself. It hurt to hit her face, look, my hand is all red."
