Chapter 417 - A Tooth for a Tooth (1/2)

“After all, Shen Family is a local bully in S city. Shen Mo is willing to hire him, so his choosing Shen Mo for his future is nothing necessarily wrong.” Sister Li sighed. No modern people were not attracted by interests.

If Su Hai was a saint, he would not have turned against his master to cooperate with the Kang Family. Now that he had a better patron, it was natural for him to climb up.

Kang Lan backed off and leaned against the wall on the side helplessly. “What should we do now? What should we do?”

“If Eldest Miss really don’t want the President to know it, how about talking with the Bao Family and trying to gain their understanding?” Sister Li saw that she could not persuade Eldest Miss and thought of this compromise.

To beg Bao Na! Yes, it was the only thing to do.

Xia Yu came to the ward of Bao Na, who smiled at her when seeing her. The television was on, so she might be watching it just now. Xia Yu put the fruit on the tea table. She saw it and frowned. “Thank you, Xia Yu!”

Xia Yu smiled and said, “Don’t be so courteous to me.”

Bao Na, as expected, stopped being courteous. She took out an apple from the bag and then a folding knife from her bag. She peeled it very quickly, and the peel didn’t break in the whole process at all. After finishing it, she handed over the apple to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was in a daze for a moment. She hadn’t thought that the apple was for her rather than Bao Na herself.

“Bao Na, cut it in halves. I can’t finish the whole one.”

Then Bao Na cut it. She gave the big half to Xia Yu and the rest to herself. “Xia Yu, wasn’t I silly? We were originally classmates and should have been close friends. But we had struggled with each other for so many years only for a scum.”

“That is the past and don’t mention it. Now that it has passed, you can let it go and lead a new life. I heard from your mother the other day that you intended to open a firm before, and they had already registered one for you. When you recover, you can devote yourself to your company and be a good boss.” Xia Yu also sighed with emotion. When they were in school, Bao Na was so proud, but now she was so upset.

“You are right. Be a good boss and make up for the wasted time during these years.” Bao Na took a big bite of the apple.

After eating the apple, they went downstairs for a meal. She had intended to take Bao Na to eat the hotpot, but Bao Na didn’t want to go too far and suggested a small restaurant. Seeing her insistence, Xia Yu agreed. They went to a restaurant of Xiang cuisine and ordered two dishes.

During the meal, Bao Na’s phone on the table kept vibrating, but she didn’t answer it, and the look on her face was not good. Xia Yu guessed it was about Chen Wenxuan. These days his lawyer had been trying to contact Bao Na for a reconciliation. Although Bao Na had refused it, Xia Yu assumed that they would not give up so soon, so the phone call probably came from them.

“Xia Yu, I have made up my mind. I will see him in the court this time, not to seek justice for myself, but for my unborn baby.” She said with a determined look in her eyes while gritting her teeth.

“I’ve got your back!” It was indeed related to Chen Wenxuan. To that man, Xia Yu’s only feeling now was how she could know him.

Bao Na had devoted almost the whole of her to him, but he injured her so badly.

Suddenly, her look became very sad. She sighed heavily, and her eyes were red. “But after this issue turns into a big deal, the media will come to us. I am afraid that my parents will be talked about negatively and be put under big pressure again.”

Bao Na’s worry was not unnecessary. After all, the Bao Family was also famous in S city. But if Chen Wenxuan was let go in this way, he would think Bao Na an easy target to bully.

Xia Yu stretched her hand to hold Bao Na’s hand. “Bao Na, they will also be very sad to see you living in sorrow every day. Instead of bearing it unwillingly, you’d better seek your justice openly.”

Bao Na started to cry, holding Xia Yu’s hand. “Why do I have such a bad fortune?”

Other guests in the restaurant all heard the crying and looked at them with curious eyes.

Bao Na restrained her tears gradually after crying for a while and wiped off them. Later, Xia Yu walked her back to the ward and then went to Ruyi Tower.

As soon as she went in, she saw her Second Brother, who seemed to be drunk. He was groggy with his red face and eyes drifting. Xia Yu hurried to come up, intending to take him to the couch. But before she could touch his arm with her hands, her hands were slapped away by him. He shouted, “I don’t need your help!”

She stood still speechlessly and wondered why he acted like that indeed.

“Junior Sister, which part of me is worse than that of him on earth? Which part?” Second Brother held Xia Yu’s shoulders tightly and questioned her. There were some blood streaks in his eyes, and his delicate look was a little distorted.

“Who said you were worse than him? How do you know you can’t make it without even competing with him? It’s true that he is Eldest Brother, but that’s only because he is older than you and was apprenticed a couple of days earlier than you. You call him Eldest Brother for respect, not for his better cooking skills.”

Xia Yu thought she should take the major responsibility for Ruyi Tower’s situation today. If she hadn’t quarreled with her father, would they have come to this point today? Now, she was really close to collapse. Her heart was full of bitterness, and her voice became sharp.

But she was the kind of person who would never give up anyhow until the end.

Second Brother opened his eyes wide to look at Xia Yu abruptly and then laughed suddenly, however, with tears in his eyes. He spoke no more. After letting loose Xia Yu’s shoulders, he went into an empty room and never came out again.

The manager wanted to ask him out but was stopped by Xia Yu. “Forget it. Let him calm down for a while.”

“We can’t blame Second Brother, as Eldest Brother is really skillful.” The manager also did not want to boost other people’s morale and reduce their own courage. But soon they would have a competition with each other. Though he didn’t think Eldest Brother was better, he had to accept the reality.

Xia Yu sighed and said, “Second Brother is already very good. When other brothers didn’t dare to face the battle, he could stand out at this time.”

“In my opinion, Su Hai is an ungrateful bastard . D*mn it! I should beat him to be crippled and see how he can compete with us at that time.” It was Fourth Brother who was speaking. He had always been very impulsive.
