Chapter 2311
What was on his mind, though, was how to make Murong Zhuan experience the greatest pain in the world, but what came out was a resentful woman, emotionally depressed over her beloved man’s contact with other women.
The lounge suddenly fell into a suffocating silence, ambiguity and awkwardness intertwined, even the air became sticky.
I don’t know how long it took, but Murong cleared his throat tactically, “Ahem, I’m not as casual as you think.”
I silently tugged up the corners of my mouth, and a winning gleam flashed under my eyes.
I’m not sure what you’re afraid of, afraid I’ll think too much, afraid I’ll stop flirting after this?
You can rest assured that none of what you fear will happen until you are so completely in love that you can’t wait to pull your heart out and show me how sincere it is.
A few moments later, I looked up at him in surprise, “You said that on purpose so as not to upset me, right?”
Murong Zhuan frowned, “What?”
Not waiting for him to respond I put my head down again and whispered to myself, “It’s okay, this is good enough, I understand, we all have a past, I’m not qualified to ask you for anything.”
With a few words, I froze the only good quality of cleanliness that Murong Zhuan had, and turned him into a coward who was a flirt but didn’t dare to admit it outright.
Not only that, but I made myself sound so understanding that I sounded like a humble little woman who only asked for his love and nothing else, and had to wait for Murong Zhuan to decide whether he wanted to pick me up or not.
But the truth is, if he dares to reach out, I will definitely show my fangs and take a bite out of him so hard that it will hurt him for the rest of his life.
The most cunning hunters often appear as prey, don’t they?
“I-” Murong Zhuan opened his mouth to explain something, but halfway through the sentence, he suddenly changed his words, and even his tone turned colder, “Just so you know, I’m not a man you can manipulate at will. ”
Do you want to be defiant, Mr. Murong?
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
As soon as I heard that he intended to draw a line between us, I changed my previous dishevelled colour and revealed my original coldness, getting up violently and walking towards the outside, saying as I did so, “Then consider me overthinking it.”
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Miller was surrounded at a distance by a few bodyguards brought by Murong Zhuan, the atmosphere was tense, and it was only when she saw me come out that she changed her face and stretched her neck to ask me loudly how I was doing, “Is everything alright?!”
I turned my head to look at her and nodded heavily, giving her a reassuring look.
Soon after, Murong Zhuan followed suit.
I deliberately teased out, “Mr. Murong, since we don’t know each other that well, there’s no need to hold my bodyguard, right?”
Murong Zhuan nonchalantly swept a glance at a few bodyguards, who immediately understood and made way for Miller.
“Many thanks.” I thanked them extremely uncharacteristically, and led Miller away.
As I walked, I asked Miller in a whisper, “Are Murong Zhuan’s men very capable of fighting, is it too much for you to protect me by yourself, do you want me to hire you another partner back?”
Miller said with a straight face, “Thanks for your concern Miss Shen, but no need, I’m not doing it because Murong Zhuan has no intention of hurting you, clashing with his men would cause you trouble instead, otherwise just those few guys wouldn’t be enough for me to warm up.”
Me, “……”
Just as I finished speaking, I heard a continuous slap next to me.
As soon as I saw that it was Lu Xinran’s crew, I hurriedly pushed my way through the crowd and squeezed in.
As expected, the source of the sound was Lu Xinran’s unrelenting slaps, and Fu Shenyan’s already red and swollen right face.
He gritted his teeth and held on, but I couldn’t bear to watch.
Fu Shenyan was much taller than me, so Lu Xinran’s slap went for him, hitting him high up in the air, but landing on my head in the right place.
A tingling sensation ran through my body and I was dizzy for a moment, barely able to stand.
But luckily this time, Fu Shen Yan reached out his hand and held me steady.
Chapter 2312
As Xing Fei was being knocked around, Murong Zhuan pulled out a very small hand wooden barn from nowhere and placed it against her exposed temple.
The corners of his mouth were tilted upwards, but there was no smile on his face.
He half leaned down his upper body and put his face above Xing Fei’s reluctant face, his lips fluttering together, “Goods, people, I’ll handle it, you take 20%, no, you die, choose one.”
The whole of China’s huge market, originally all in Xing Fei’s hands, she could have taken 90% or even more of the profits, and then picked out a tiny bit from her fingernails to feed the bulk of her men, but Murong Zhuan also wants the people, the field, and even her whole person under her feet.
The profit is taken for nothing, without risk, but since she dares to earn this block of money, Xing Fei will not put that little risk in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and glared, unable to swallow this grievance.
If she dies, Murong Zhuan won’t be able to control the Xing family’s business.
But Murong Zhuan just doesn’t believe in evil, and as Xing Fei exhaled in contempt when she was sure he wouldn’t dare to open the wooden barn, a “bang” exploded in her ears and the tabletop five centimeters from her eyes was pierced, and her mind was filled with a buzzing roar.
Either Xing Fei agreed to his terms and all was happy, or the word Xing Fei would disappear from China and he would bother to cut the grass and build his own trading network.
Xing Fei gradually recognises somewhat that this man behind Fu Shen Yan is bad-tempered and even more unorthodox, and that the chances of her living or dying are half and half.
The moment she had just finished analysing the situation, the cold wooden barn mouth was once again aimed at her temple and she heard Murong Zhuan say in an extremely confident tone, “This time, I won’t miss.”
Then there was the faint sound of the safety opening, which fell into Xing Fei’s eardrums like the signal from Hades.
Xing Fei’s eyes snapped shut and she threw her hands up in the air, “I’ll pay! Everything is up to you!”
But Murong smiled, “The bullet is loaded. The bullet is loaded, it has to be fired!”
Then he quickly pulled the trigger.
Xing Fei choked on her breath and didn’t even dare to say “no”.
She opened her eyes as an afterthought and held her head and touched it to make sure it hadn’t blown up, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, before Murong opened the wooden barn, he turned the opening around and pointed it in the direction of Fu Shenyan and me. The bullet passed between the two of us and plunged into the concrete wall on the far side.
Xing Fei was far from alone in the aftermath.
After watching Xing Fei’s predicament with glee, Murong Zhuan slowly withdrew the hand that was holding her down, both hands hanging playfully open in mid-air, as if to enjoy the congratulations of the person under his skirt, his slightly raised eyebrows open and confident.
After Xing Fei was freed from her restraints, she rose from the table like a bouncer, quickly straightened her dress and hairstyle, took two steps back and distanced herself from Murong Zhuan, her face sunken, and she became the high and mighty Miss Xing family again.
Even at those prestigious receptions, she had never displayed such an unbeatable posture, as if this was the only way to cover up her ugly appearance and erase her fear of death.
