112 NOT ON INTIMATE TERMS (2/2)

”It seems that the Bei Gong clan needs a reminder that they are not on intimate terms with the Zhong family.” He spoke in an apathetic voice.

Bei Gong Jiu did not dare speak another word. She knew that this time, she had made a grave mistake. She had even implicated her family. She thought about any possibilities for turning the situation around. However, even a person like her realised that this man did not have any soft feelings towards women. Her fool proof trick would not work.

She looked at Hu Lei in inexplicable frustration. The shameless girl was fondling the cold man's pectorals with a small hand in apparent fascination. She seemed to have forgotten about the rest of the people in the room.

Why could it not be her who tamed this powerful man? She decided to make one last effort to avoid leaving a bad impression on him. She knew that she could not enter his eyes. However, she was not willing to give up everything just like that. If an unrefined and violent woman could do it, why couldn't she?

”Mr Zhong, I know I was in the wrong. But I was so excited about being here that I got ahead of myself. I know you are a magnanimous person, and you can overlook the mistake of a woman who was just happy to be in her idol's home.” She said straightening her back.

With these words, he had no choice but show grace, or he would look like a petty person.

If Zhong Feng liked a brazen woman, it was not too difficult to take up the role. She had always thought that he would favour the soft gentle type as most powerful men did. But it seemed that he preferred the assertive types.

Zhong Feng did not respond. He only motioned with his hands and Housekeeper Li called in some men dressed in black into the library. Before the two women could protest, they were captured and taken out of the room.

Bei Gong Jiu protested and called out something about her phone, but Hu Lei pretended not to hear anything. She just held on to Zhong Feng's arm like an octopus and smiled shamelessly at him. Once the room was empty, he looked at her sternly.

”You should not be getting into fights. You just came back from the hospital.” He rebuked softly.

”I didn't start the fight. I only got involved when things got interesting.” She subtly changed the subject. ”Can you believe the nerve of those women? That woman even dared to call you big brother.” She started getting angry once again.

She took a deep breath and then stepped away from Zhong Feng. She began looking around the library, as if she was checking whether they had stolen anything. She knew nothing had been taken, but she had seen those coveting glances.

”Who started the fight?” Zhong Feng asked casually.

Hu Lei stopped walking and became stiff and tense.

”She did.” She said in a low voice.

Zhong Feng frowned at the response. Though the answer was vague, he understood the meaning behind the words. He thought for a moment about his next action. He was uncertain of what he should do because he was afraid of causing harm to her.

Still he wanted to know more about her. However, before he could speak, Hu Lei started to fall to the ground in a faint without warning. In a split second, he caught the unconscious girl in his arms.
