Chapter 37 What happened to Shirley?
Chapter 37 What happened to Shirley?
"No one has ever dared to hit me since I was a child, how dare you hit me?" Miss Zhou became furious.
Manager Chen started to panic.
The waitress was also very worried about Xue Bai.
Before Miss Zhou could recover from her shock, she quickly moved closer to Xue Bai and whispered to him, "You two should leave quickly!"
But Xue Bai remained unmoved.
"How dare you hit me? You're finished, you're all finished!" Ms. Zhou shouted hysterically as she pulled out her phone.
"Uncle Wang, come quick! Someone is bullying me."
A short while later, a man in his fifties arrived with a group of his men.
"Young Miss, who dares to bully you? This is outrageous! They even dare to bully the Young Miss?"
Seeing this commotion, Manager Chen was so frightened that he quickly hid behind.
“Miss Zhou, this has nothing to do with me. I was prepared to pay a high price to buy it back, but they refused.”
Miss Zhou didn't look at him, but pointed directly at Xue Bai and Chu Xinglan.
"It was them, especially this man, he actually hit me."
As she spoke, Ms. Zhou pointed to her face.
When Uncle Wang saw the clear five-finger mark on Miss Zhou's face, he immediately flew into a rage.
"You brat, you're really asking for trouble! How dare you injure my young lady! Brothers, beat her to a pulp!" Uncle Wang shouted.
"Let's see who dares to lay a hand on me!" Chu Xinglan took out her phone, and the screen showed that she was dialing 110.
Everyone present was stunned.
Just then, the call connected.
"Hello, I need to call the police. There's a group of people robbing a jewelry store. My location is..."
Uncle Wang and his men were dumbfounded.
They were just standing up for the young lady, how did they become robbers who robbed a jewelry store?
They looked at the weapon in their hands, realizing that if the police arrived, things would get complicated.
"Uncle Wang, why aren't you doing anything? Teach them a lesson!" Miss Zhou didn't think anything of it; she just wanted Uncle Wang and the others to vent her anger. So what if the police came? Anyone who dared to hit her would have to bear the consequences.
"Miss, I think we should just let this matter go and go back first," Uncle Wang whispered to Miss Zhou.
"Go back? How can you be so cowardly? They've all bullied me, and you won't stand up for me? You want me to go back after getting beaten up for nothing?" Feeling humiliated, Miss Zhou immediately took her anger out on Uncle Wang. A man in his fifties was slapped and verbally abused by a young girl in front of everyone.
Uncle Wang simply stood there and endured it.
"Miss, are you calmed down? If you are, let's go quickly. If the police come and see that we are adults, we'll be locked up for a few days."
The others were also nervous and scared, after all, they all had weapons. If it was a beating, it wouldn't be much worse than robbery.
“You’re all useless. When we get home, I’ll have my dad fire you all.”
Miss Zhou glared fiercely at Xue Bai and Chu Xinglan. Now that Uncle Wang was too scared to make a move, she couldn't deal with these two guys by herself. Her plan had been in vain.
"You just wait, the next time I see you, you're dead."
Miss Zhou gritted her teeth and turned to leave angrily.
After watching Miss Zhou leave, Manager Chen stepped out from behind several waiters and looked at Chu Xinglan and Xue Bai with a fawning smile.
"Gentlemen, you saw how arrogant and domineering Miss Zhou was. It wasn't that I wanted to make things difficult for you. Now it's all over, hehe!"
Chu Xinglan and Xue Bai ignored him and turned to leave the jewelry store.
The waitress who had been there earlier stood at the door, watching Xue Bai's departing figure with reluctance.
It's a pity that they were just strangers who met by chance.
"I didn't expect you to be so calm; you even thought of calling the police at that moment."
Sitting in the car, Xue Bai praised Chu Xinglan while driving.
That scene was truly breathtaking; he was genuinely terrified. He wasn't worried about fighting four people at once, but he was concerned that Chu Xinglan might get hurt.
If that's the case, he'll be in big trouble. His boss would practically skin him alive!
"Actually, I'm not as calm as you say. My legs are still feeling weak," Chu Xinglan said honestly.
Xue Bai turned around and glanced at her, then smiled inexplicably.
This girl is really something else. No wonder she's got the boss completely infatuated with her. She's not only beautiful but also smart.
"I didn't expect you to be so manly!" Chu Xinglan's unintentional remark startled Xue Bai, who slammed on the brakes and looked at Chu Xinglan uneasily.
"You...you haven't fallen for me, have you?"
Chu Xinglan was taken aback, then chuckled, "You wish!"
Xue Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Chu Xinglan said.
Luckily, I was just overthinking it; this girl is very naive about him.
"Why are you so afraid that I like you? Why are you so scared as soon as you hear that I like you?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.
"Are you really unaware or just pretending?" Xue Bai rolled her eyes at her.
"I really don't know!" Chu Xinglan nodded, though she vaguely sensed that it was related to Gu Ye.
“I’ve never seen a boss treat anyone so well. You’re the first and only one…” Xue Bai said solemnly.
"We... don't want to talk about Gu Ye, okay?" Chu Xinglan immediately stopped, turning her head to look out the car window.
"Why are you avoiding the boss?" Xue Bai couldn't understand. They already had that kind of relationship, and the boss was willing to marry her, so why wouldn't she accept him?
It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to avoid him, was it? It's just that she had many things to do, and she didn't want Gu Ye to marry her out of a sense of responsibility, because she had already experienced something like that, and the result was terrible!
"No, it's just that I'm still young and don't want to think about those things so early," Chu Xinglan smiled and lied.
"If that's all, it's fine. But if you have someone else in your heart, you should make things clear to the boss as soon as possible." Xue Bai really didn't want to see the boss get more and more involved. After all, Chu Xinglan had someone else in her heart, except for the time being.
Seeing that Chu Xinglan didn't want to discuss Gu Ye anymore, Xue Bai stopped talking and focused on driving.
"Assistant Xue, you've been with Gu Ye for many years, haven't you?" Actually, she knew about this.
"Yes, it's been almost seven years. I've been working with Gu Ye since graduation." Xue Bai nodded. In fact, Gu Ye was not only his boss but also his confidant. Although Gu Ye always appeared aloof, he was actually a very gentle man.
"Then Shirley has been with Gu Ye for many years, right?" Chu Xinglan murmured.
"Shirley? How do you know Shirley?" Xue Bai asked in surprise.
Wasn't discussing Shirley's matter forbidden in the company? And she came in after Shirley was dealt with, so how did Chu Xinglan know about Shirley?
"What happened to Shirley?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.
It's possible that Sherry is Gu Ye's sweetheart!
