Chapter 120 Song Ni Steps In to Save Someone
Song Ni didn't reply to Li Shang. It would be madness for her to learn to ride a motorcycle from Tan Zheng's ex-girlfriend. Even if Li Shang was a cool woman and Song Ni admired her, it was still out of the question. Those were two different things.
The milk was finished. Tan Zheng was still chatting with someone. Song Ni got up and walked out of the private room, standing by the window, overlooking the dazzling city lights. A cold wind blew, clearing her thoughts of Li Shang's passionate, unrequited love. Song Ni crossed her arms tightly, but she didn't close the window. Li Shang, such a beautiful person, had been met with a cold shoulder by Tan Zheng. Should she feel lucky that she had caught Tan Zheng's eye?
It seemed the question had returned to its origin. Why exactly did Tan Zheng fancy her and agree to this arranged marriage? It couldn't be because she had stormed into the bar that day, looking for him and questioning everyone in the bar. It also couldn't be because of her clumsy fall on flat ground the first time they met. Song Ni raised her hand and rubbed her temples, unable to figure it out. In this game of pursuit between men and women, she didn't know when it had become unclear who the dominant party was.
After standing outside for quite some time, Song Ni finally felt her lungs clear. Just as she was about to return to the private room, she heard a string of curses. Song Ni glanced over lazily and saw a middle-aged man with a beer belly standing in the hall, slapping a frail woman. In such cold weather, the woman was only wearing a thin, red, long dress.
"You jinx, why did you follow me?" The woman's hair was disheveled and loose. She was so thin that the slap made her unable to stand. She crawled to the man's feet, grabbed his trouser leg, and pleaded, "Manager Wang, please, I only need a million. One million is enough. My mother is still lying in the hospital bed. Please save her!"
The middle-aged man, addressed as Manager Wang, had his arm around another woman. Hearing this, the woman in his arms smiled coquettishly and playfully slapped Manager Wang's chest. "Darling, don't let such a slut taint our eyes."
Manager Wang patted the woman in his arms. "You want money? Sure." The woman on the ground's eyes immediately lit up. "Thank you, Manager Wang, thank you, Manager Wang!"
"I have a deal tonight with Manager Yang. You accompany him for a few nights, and the money will be yours. He's been wanting you for a long time, and he likes to play." The woman in the red dress began to tremble and shook her head frantically. "No! Manager Wang! Don't, don't send me to Manager Yang. I'll die, I'll really die!"
Manager Wang let out a cold snort and kicked the woman by his feet away as if she were trash. "If you want money, you don't get to choose." He then gestured to the bodyguards beside him. Two burly men in black suits stepped forward and grabbed the thin woman.
"No! Manager Wang! You can't do this to me! I've been with you for six years!" "Don't, don't touch me! I don't want to go to Manager Yang's!" "Manager Wang, for the sake of me following you, please let me go! I don't want the money anymore!"
Manager Wang smiled and adjusted his clothes. "Manager Yang is waiting for you upstairs. Didn't you want money? Serve Manager Yang well, and he'll naturally give you the money." The woman's miserable screams echoed through the hall. Amusingly, no one intervened. The service staff and the manager pretended not to see or hear.
Perhaps the shattered beauty of the red dress brought a hint of allure, or perhaps it was a sense of justice, but Song Ni stepped forward and interrupted. "Let her go."
Manager Wang was a prominent figure in Yu City and never expected anyone to interfere in his business. He glanced over unpleasantly and was momentarily stunned to see Song Ni. "Girl, I advise you not to be so nosy."
Song Ni's makeup from the press conference had not been removed. Even in the simplest sweater and jeans, her looks and aura were stunning enough. Manager Wang's words took a different turn. "Little girl, this is a private matter between us. She's just going to have dinner with a big boss. If you don't believe me, you can come with us." As he spoke, Manager Wang pushed away the woman leaning in his arms and pretended to tidy his clothes.
Seeing this, Song Ni scoffed, too lazy to engage with such a person. "Sorry, I'm being nosy today." After speaking, Song Ni looked at the woman being held by the bodyguards, her brows furrowed fiercely. "Tell your men to let her go."
Manager Wang's face darkened as Song Ni refused to listen to reason. "Hmph, no one has dared to snatch someone from my hands before. Today, not only her, but you have to come with me." As he finished speaking, two other bodyguards slowly approached Song Ni.
Song Ni truly detested this kind of boorish, nouveau riche behavior, always followed by bodyguards, as if afraid others didn't know how much money they had or what kind of important figures they were. She had been out for too long. If she didn't return to the private room soon, Tan Zheng would come looking for her. Thinking of this, Song Ni's eyes flickered, and she stretched her limbs.
When the bodyguards stepped forward to grab her hands, she blocked them directly. With a back injury, she didn't use her legs. Her fists moved nimbly, using the simplest moves to knock one bodyguard to the ground. Manager Wang clearly did not expect a young girl who appeared out of nowhere to have such skill. She was a beauty beyond his experience. A glint appeared in his muddy eyes. "What are you waiting for? All of you, get her! Catch her for me."
Song Ni glanced around and realized that this bald man had brought almost a full squad of bodyguards. Although these people looked strong on the outside, she could handle them alone, but her waist would be strained again. She had really gotten into trouble today by intervening. "If you're going to attack, do it quickly. This young lady has things to do." Song Ni habitually raised her hand to tie her hair, only to find she had no hair tie on her wrist today. So, she would fight like this. Her movements were agile, and the bodyguards couldn't catch her. Her waist-length hair danced in the air with her movements, creating a sharp gust of wind.
Zhou Jin, who rushed over after the commotion, watched the scene in the hall with a sense of amusement. How could such a bizarre incident happen in Yu City? This was supposed to be a high-end club, yet there were bodyguards fighting with people in the lobby, and the club staff remained utterly indifferent. However, after watching for half a minute, Zhou Jin gradually noticed something was amiss. Wait... isn't the person being surrounded and beaten by seven or eight bodyguards looking very much like his company's president's wife?
Zhou Jin's heart trembled. He stepped forward to confirm. It really was the president's wife! Oh no, oh no, oh no! What was going on with him today! The boss had finally arrived in Yu City, and he hadn't been mentally present all day, making several mistakes. Zhou Jin quickly stepped forward. "Stop."
As the head of GN Group's Yu City project, Zhou Jin had interacted with many Yu City government officials and business leaders over the past few months. His face now carried a certain authority in Yu City. When he appeared, the club manager quickly rushed over. "President Zhou, why are you here?"
The bald man wasn't a particularly significant figure, but he had heard of President Zhou. The general assistant sent by GN Group. If he could establish some connection with this person, his status in Yu City would rise a notch. Thinking this, Manager Wang quickly had the bodyguards stop and walked up to Zhou Jin obsequiously. Just as he was about to greet him, he saw Zhou Jin walk directly towards Song Ni.
"Madam, are you alright?" Manager Wang's legs suddenly trembled. Madam? Why was President Zhou calling this arrogant young girl Madam? Song Ni glanced at Zhou Jin and said nothing. She opened her mouth, breathing slightly, and looked at the red-clothed woman who had been released by the bodyguards. Just as she was about to walk over, a man's low voice came from behind.
"What's going on?" Song Ni's steps halted, and she closed her eyes in annoyance. It was over. She was going to be scolded again. How was she going to coax Tan Zheng this time? Her head hurt. (End of this chapter)
