Chapter 55 Su Xiaoxiaos Revenge (2/2)
Yezi continued, ”Anyway, you must be careful if you did offend her. You can come to my family if you want some help...”
”Wait!”
Yezi fell silent for a moment and suddenly she spoke, ”My family owes you a big favor. Let my dad help you. I suppose she will show him some respect, no matter how cruel she is. Although he is callous and licentious, his words still carry a strong weight.”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”How can you speak of your father in that way?”
”That's exactly who he is! He started from scratch and became one of the richest men in Jiang City and even in the whole country. It's impossible for him to do that without some dirty work. Though the Peony Fairy is a cruel woman, she can only use violence. So the number of people she can do harm to is limited. As for my old man... He can make his rival companies broke without much effort. He can make the owners of these companies jump off from rooftops and ruin their staff's families. He never uses a knife, but he is way more brutal when killing people,” said Yezi with emotion. She still panted after speaking, seeming to be unrelieved.
Xiao Bing had to admit that Yezi had a point. Though he nearly had no experience in business, he could imagine how dark it was.
”The business field is dark and the battlefield is cruel,” sighed Xiao Bing, ”You're probably right. But he just did what a businessman had to do. It's just like in battlefields, you get killed if you don't kill others.”
”So what's the difference between them... It's understandable if he was only cruel to others. But he is still a heartless man to his family. Before my mother's blood went cold, he married his mistress and he was even with her before my mother died!”
Not even good officials could settle family troubles. Xiao Bing could do nothing about her business but sigh.
”Enough of that. But that's why I said that compared to this woman, he is maybe even crueler. Though he was a callous man even to his family, he does have power in this city. The people underground have to show him some respect. If he can help you this time, the Peony Fairy wouldn't dare to do you any harm.”
But Xiao Bing said, ”No... I can handle it myself.”
”Brother Bing, you...”
”Silly girl, do you want your family to think of me as a useless man?”
”No... Of course I didn't mean that.”
”I know you're doing it for me. But I want to prove to you that I can make you feel safe. How can I protect you if I can't even protect myself, am I right, Yezi?”
She felt deeply touched after hearing this. She gave up the idea and softly uttered, ”Okay.”
Grinning, Xiao Bing said, ”Yezi, I always get drunk on your voice...”
”Brother Bing.”
”Yes?”
”I must be careful from now on.”
”Why...”
”Because you're getting good at whispering sweet nothings.”
”...”
They talked on the phone till it was past 1 am, then they reluctantly went to sleep.
Xiao Bing got up very early the next morning. He went to the kitchen and made Su Xiaoxiao breakfast, though she was mad at him last night for absolutely no reason and he was still sleepy. He needed to cool her down. A while later, it was time for her to go to college but she still did not come out. Xiao Bing began to feel that something was wrong. He guessed that she had a cold again.
As he expected, no one answered the door after he knocked. So he opened the door and walked into it. He found nothing but a large piece of paper on her bedside. It read: ”You lecher, I'll have my breakfast outside. Su Xiaoxiao.”
Xiao Bing picked it up and rubbed his nose. ”What a stubborn little girl...”
Su Xiaoxiao was reading a book while sitting next to her desk, imagining how helpless Xiao Bing would be when he found the paper. Suddenly she burst into laughter and her anger gradually faded away.
The girl next to her nudged her and asked out of curiosity, ”Xiaoxiao, what are you laughing for?”
”Nothing.”
