Chapter 709 - Do You Hate Me This Much? (9) (1/2)

He spoke with much difficulty—it was obvious he was in great pain.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and stared at him, asking, “You feel like I’m harassing her?”

Clenching his fists, Sun Linan replied, “Second Brother, you don’t consider this harassment?”

Staring at Lu Nanze with much wrath, he continued, “She is getting by happily now and that’s good enough. Second Brother, liking a person doesn’t mean owning her. It just means you’d be happy if she is.”

Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank as he sprang up from his seat. “I don’t need you to teach me what liking a person is about!”

As soon as these words came out, he raised and aimed his foot at Sun Linan’s chest to deliver a powerful kick.

Sun Linan staggered backwards when he received the blow and finally fell back on the ground.

The others sprang up reflexively with alarm, wanting to help him stand up, but they didn’t dare to make any movements as they looked at Lu Nanze.

Lu Nanze had been a vicious and cruel person from a young age. Back in the day, Qiao Lian had kept this streak of his under control when she had been around.

And along with the rapid ascent of the Lu Family, these people had grown to fear him.

As Qiao Lian stood at the threshold of the doorway, she heard the exchange.

Seeing that Lu Nanze was not going to stop beating Sun Linan, she clenched her fists tightly and hollered with anger, “Lu Nanze, you stop that right now!”

At the sound of her voice, Lu Nanze’s raised fist froze in mid-air as he spun his head around. Qiao Lian strode in.

The music in the private room was turned up, so no one had heard her opening the door.

When she appeared, Lu Nanze’s eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank.

The other two in the group heaved a sigh of relief.
