Chapter 208 We’re Not Done
“What about those two knives?” The eldest son of the Bai family maintained his smile: “Actually, this was White Oriole’s fault, though, for certain reasons, she now insists I call her Night Oriole.”
“When my subordinate makes a mistake, I naturally need to apologize, otherwise, wouldn’t that be unfair to Brother Rui?” At this point, Bai Qinchuan slightly bowed toward Su Rui: “Night Oriole doesn’t know better, I hope you’re magnanimous enough not to hold it against her.”
Seeing Bai Qinchuan bow forward, the two beautiful women nearby couldn’t hide their shock.
“She said I killed her sister, but I don’t know when this grudge was formed.” Su Rui frowned: “Do you know what this is about?”
A flicker passed through Bai Qinchuan’s eyes: “Brother Rui, speaking of this matter, I’m quite ashamed. Although Night Oriole is my subordinate, she’s extremely stubborn and rebellious. The concept of following orders means absolutely nothing to her. I’ve asked her many times, but she refuses to tell me.”
Su Rui’s eyes began to focus with intensity: “Can I trust you?”
“Of course.” Seeing Su Rui’s expression, Bai Qinchuan immediately became serious: “But rest assured, Brother Rui, Night Oriole will never do this again, I promise you.”
Su Rui nodded slightly. He could disregard who Bai Qinchuan was, but he had to give face to Bai Qinchuan’s third uncle.
For no other reason than that his third uncle had stood up and spoken for him five years ago.
However, after nodding, Su Rui didn’t continue walking inside, but instead turned and headed toward the exit.
Bai Qinchuan showed a bewildered expression. What was Su Rui up to? Why did he stop halfway?
He had gone to great lengths to gather the young masters of several great families here, and Su Rui wouldn’t even give him this face?
If someone entered the club and then left, Bai Qinchuan would completely lose face!
“Brother Rui, Brother Rui, please wait.” Bai Qinchuan hurriedly caught up. Although he couldn’t guess the reason, Su Rui must stay! Otherwise, his plan would go to waste!
Had he said something wrong that made him unhappy?
Having rushed here from the capital specifically for this dinner, no one could understand Bai Qinchuan’s intentions.
The two beautiful women were also utterly shocked. This Su Rui was too arrogant, not even giving face to the eldest son of the Bai family!
Su Rui just glanced at him and said: “I’ve already given your third uncle face. For the help he once gave me, I’ll personally visit to thank him, but as for this dinner, I’ll pass.”
Bai Qinchuan couldn’t help feeling like he’d been played, his cheeks burning with embarrassment.
“Brother Rui, didn’t we agree earlier…” Bai Qinchuan adjusted his emotions and said.
“What did we agree on?” Su Rui coldly asked in return.
Bai Qinchuan immediately fell silent. Su Rui could create such an imposing presence with just a few words, putting him completely at a disadvantage!
“Bai Qinchuan, I have something to tell you.” Su Rui suddenly stopped, his expression stern.
“Please speak freely, Brother Rui.” Bai Qinchuan tried hard to suppress his displeasure.
“I’ve never liked being used as a chess piece, and this time is no exception. Don’t think others can’t see through your little schemes.”
Bai Qinchuan’s face turned cold, then he nodded heavily: “I understand.”
“Also, the matter of those two knives isn’t over between us.”
After speaking, Su Rui strode away with large steps.
However, when passing by Fourth Young Master Su Fahua, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Why are you leaving?” Su Fahua adjusted his black-framed glasses, asking with confusion.
“You’re a better person than I imagined,” Su Rui said. “When I come to the capital, we can race together.”
Su Fahua’s eyes immediately flashed with burning enthusiasm. No matter how depressed or angry he had been before, at the mention of racing, all his anger dissipated!
“Great, next time you’re in the capital, I’ll host. We’ll have a good race.” Su Fahua clenched his fist and also turned to leave!
This Fourth Young Master was quite an interesting character, not at all angry that Su Rui had persuaded his capable subordinate with the baseball cap to leave.
Seeing both men leaving, Bai Qinchuan could no longer maintain his composure.
“Fourth Young Master, where are you going?”
“I’ve lost my appetite too. I’ll thank you another time for your help today.”
With that, he got into his Aston Martin at the entrance and roared away!
The Audi TT had also slowly started moving, and Su Rui didn’t even look back once!
Bai Qinchuan stood at the club entrance, his face gloomy!
Just now, Su Rui had praised Su Fahua to his face saying “you’re a better person than I imagined,” with the obvious implication that Bai Qinchuan was worse than he had imagined!
Reading between the lines, Bai Qinchuan and his circle had been mingling in the so-called upper society of the capital for so long, how could they not understand Su Rui’s implied meaning?
It was practically a public slap in the face!
But what flaws had he revealed tonight that made Su Rui turn and leave? Not even willing to dine together?
“Brother Chuan, that guy is really too much, how could he disrespect you like that? You were so nice to him, it’s like casting pearls before swine.”
“Yes, White Young Master, the guests inside are all waiting. They’re so inconsiderate. I’ll have the club issue a ban against them later.”
Bai Qinchuan’s face was as dark as water, his eyes tinged with red: “Both of you shut up!”
The two women immediately fell silent. When Bai Qinchuan got angry, his fury was truly terrifying.
At this moment, a beautiful woman in a long white formal dress walked gracefully out from inside and stood beside Bai Qinchuan.
When anyone saw this woman, their attention would inevitably be drawn to her chest, where two peaks could be described as beautiful to the extreme, making it impossible for men to look away.
If Su Rui were here, he would certainly recognize her as Su Chiyan, the woman he had previously “interrogated” using “unusual methods”!
“He left?” Su Chiyan asked with some surprise.
“Yes, and your fourth cousin Su Fahua left too.” Bai Qinchuan spat out viciously: “I don’t even know what went wrong. Sorry, I couldn’t help you tonight.”
“Let’s not be so formal with each other.” Su Chiyan glanced at the two hostile beauties beside him and said: “Don’t worry, I’m not like you two, so don’t look at me that way.”
Bai Qinchuan made no effort to hide the way he looked at Su Chiyan: “I hope one day you will be like them.”
“That day is probably far away.” Su Chiyan looked in the direction Su Rui had left, her expression complex. “Since they’ve all gone, I should leave too. Come visit me sometime.”
After speaking, Su Chiyan also turned to leave.
However, as she turned, she let out a soft sigh. For some reason, upon learning that Su Rui had already left, she actually felt relieved, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.
And in her exquisite handbag, she still carried that platinum business card that countless people in high society frantically pursued.
“Young Master Bai, they’ve all left.”
Bai Qinchuan shook his head, his eyes filled with viciousness: “A bunch of bastards, making me a complete laughingstock.”
Back in the room, Night Oriole, dressed in tight black clothes, was sitting by the bay window, carefully wiping her short knife with a wet tissue. If Su Rui were here, he would certainly recognize it as one of the “Dragon and Phoenix” pair of knives he had given to Gu Wan’er, ranked tenth on China’s Weapons List!
“He didn’t come?” Night Oriole, still wearing her mask, looked up and asked.
“Don’t let there be a next time. Don’t provoke that madman again!” Bai Qinchuan roared in frustration: “This time I could save your knife, but next time I might not be able to save your life!”
“We’ll see about that when the time comes.”
With that, Night Oriole stood up and walked out. As she passed by Bai Qinchuan, she didn’t even glance at the eldest son of the Bai family.
Hearing Night Oriole close the door, Bai Qinchuan angrily smashed his glass on the floor, shouting: “All bastards!”
Night Oriole had just left when the door opened again, and a young man with a devilish face walked in.
Thin lips, delicate skin—with such features, he could easily pass as a pretty boy in South Korea without seeming out of place.
It was Ouyang Bingyuan!
He watched Night Oriole’s alluring silhouette, licked his lips, and his eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
“I really admire you for keeping such a disobedient woman as your subordinate,” Ouyang Bingyuan said with a smile. “If you don’t want her, you can give her to me. She’s quite to my taste.”
“Ouyang Bingyuan, aren’t you afraid of death, showing up here?” Seeing him, Bai Qinchuan became even more irritated.
“I just wanted to see what kind of person could make the eldest son of the Bai family so wary,” Ouyang Bingyuan poured himself a glass of red wine, smiling.
“And the result?”
“I wasn’t disappointed.”
…
“Why did you leave?” Gu Wan’er asked. She couldn’t understand why Su Rui would suddenly make such a move.
“A trap disguised as a feast, better not to attend.”
Su Rui couldn’t help but recall the car he had seen in the club’s parking lot, that BMW, which was the same one he had seen at Su Chiyan’s styling studio.
There aren’t that many coincidences in this world; ninety-nine percent of coincidences are manufactured.
Su Chiyan’s presence here already explained everything, which made Su Rui very uncomfortable. This woman appearing here was surely to test him again, and this time she had even joined forces with Bai Qinchuan, the eldest son of the Bai family, clearly indicating her identity was not to be underestimated.
This Bai Qinchuan was not honest at all.
“Um…” Gu Wan’er hesitated, seeming to want to speak but stopping herself.
Su Rui glanced at her: “You want to ask about the knives, right? If I’m not mistaken, your elder has returned the pair of knives to Bai Qinchuan.”
“Yes.” Gu Wan’er seemed to have expected this outcome, unable to hide her guilt. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright, some things are beyond your control.” Su Rui glanced at her teasingly and said: “Of course, if you’re still thinking about offering yourself to me, I wouldn’t object.”
Gu Wan’er’s face turned bright red, and after a long struggle, she finally said: “I’ll work hard to pay you back.”
Su Rui laughed heartily: “Just treat me to a few meals when you have time. After all, I never refuse invitations from beautiful women.”
“You’re a good person,” Gu Wan’er bit her lip and said softly.
