Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 42 - Help Collect The Bodies

Chapter 42: Help Collect The Bodies

After sending Gu Zheng his birthday present, Qiao Xi was prepared to leave the internet cafe.

Perhaps it was because she wanted to save time, so Qiao Xi sent the small animation of a figure waving a lightstick that she previously always sent to Mo Yuan. She subconsciously thought that Gu Zheng might like it.

However, after sending it, Gu Zheng did not reply. She was a little uncertain again.

Qiao Xi looked at her phone which was silent with no notifications. What a rude man.

She put her phone in her pocket and walked toward the door of the internet cafe. However, before she could reach, she was stopped by someone. It was a lecherous man with a grin on his face. He had yellow teeth too. “Pretty lady, are you alone? Do you want to have fun? Follow me.”

The man moved to touch her face.

Qiao Xi took a step back to avoid the man’s large hand. The people around her did not mind the commotion. They just shouted, “Beauty, just agree to Brother Long. He’s very powerful in this area, so it’s absolutely not a loss for you to follow him.”

Hearing the praises from the people around him, Brother Long said proudly, “Did you hear that? Follow me and I’ll protect you. Come, let me get closer to you.”

Brother Long thought that Qiao Xi would not refuse him anymore, but he did not expect Qiao Xi to take another step back and avoid his hand. Brother Long’s face instantly darkened. “Stinking wh*re, don’t be so shameless!”

Qiao Xi touched her trouser pocket. She had left in a rush today and forgot to bring mint candy. Twisting her fingers, she raised her chin and said, “I don’t want to fight today. You… get lost.”

The surrounding people booed.

“Haha, it’s over. This beauty isn’t showing Brother Long any respect. Brother Long is going to go mad.”

“This is so fun. Not only is this woman good-looking but she’s also very fierce!”

“Only such a woman is fun to play with. Brother Long, go get her!”

Qiao Xi’s rejection made Brother Long feel extremely embarrassed. Coupled with the voices of the people around him, he lowered his voice and warned, “Woman, don’t fail to appreciate my kindness. You’re lucky that I’ve taken a liking to you. Don’t be so shameless.”

As he spoke, he forcefully wanted to grab Qiao Xi’s arm.

Bang!

Qiao Xi finally could not take it anymore. With a twist of her wrist, she punched the bridge of Brother Long’s nose.

Two streams of blood trickled down from his nose.

The surroundings fell silent.

Brother Long was infuriated. “B*tch, how dare you hit me? Do you want to die… Ah!”

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Xi kicked his stomach. “Hit you? What do you mean hit you?” If he dared to tease her, he had to be prepared to be beaten up!

Qiao Xi did not hold back at all. Brother Long felt as if his internal organs had shifted. It was so painful that his back was bent like a shrimp. When Brother Long’s underlings saw him getting beaten up, they all stood up.

“Hit her! Hit her!” Brother Long held his stomach and ordered sinisterly, “But don’t hit her in the face. Bring her to my place after this. I’m going to play with her till she’s wrecked today!”

Qiao Xi was instantly surrounded by a few people.

She moved her wrists. Today was Gu Zheng and Mo Yuan’s birthday. One should avoid seeing blood on birthdays, but it would be a waste if she did not beat up these fools who came knocking on her door! Anyway, Gu Zheng and Mo Yuan were not here to see it, so she would just beat them up and run. She would pretend that this had never happened!

…

However, Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu immediately saw this scene when they arrived.

Seven to eight men were groaning on the floor. Qiao Xi stood in the middle, asking, “You can’t take it anymore? Such trash!”

They wanted to be hoodlums with such skills? They should go home and continue learning!

Song Shiyu adjusted his glasses that were about to fall to his chin and stuttered as he asked Gu Zheng, “President… President, should we go help Young Madam?”

Gu Zheng asked, “Help with what? Should we help her collect the bodies of the people on the floor?”

Song Shiyu fell silent.

The hooligans surrendered and lay on the floor, pretending to be dead. They did not get up no matter what Qiao Xi said.

Qiao Xi curled her lips in a disinterested manner. She had yet to enjoy herself from fighting these people, yet they already surrendered. She straightened her clothes and left under the gazes that were filled with either admiration or horror.

She had just taken a step when she suddenly met Gu Zheng’s teasing gaze.

Qiao Xi: “?!”

Why was he here?!

Seeing that Qiao Xi had noticed him, Gu Zheng casually raised his hand and clapped. “Young Madam Gu, you’re quite skilled.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She suddenly understood what it would feel like to have a heart attack.

The awkwardness lasted for only an instant. Qiao Xi quickly composed herself and pointed at the men who were groaning on the floor. “They were after my beauty and conspired against me.”

Then, she pointed at Brother Long, who was trying to escape. “This man, especially. He wanted to capture me and fool around with me till I was wrecked.”

Qiao Xi’s meaning was very obvious. She was not the one who initiated trouble, she was just counterattacking.

Gu Zheng’s face instantly darkened. “Deal with them.”

Song Shiyu understood what Gu Zheng meant. The man who wanted to taint President Gu’s wife would be doomed for the rest of his life.

Qiao Xi did not care about what would happen to these men. When she thought of how Gu Zheng had to help her clean up her mess on his birthday, she felt embarrassed. “I’ve really troubled you this time.”

Gu Zheng looked at her meaningfully. “It’s no trouble. It’s my duty.”
