Chapter 213 Sudden Farewell
Li Yang walked up to Su Rui, leaning slightly forward, and respectfully said: “Young Master Su, are you satisfied with how this matter was handled?”
Su Rui nodded noncommittally: “Tell them to stop.”
Li Yang was somewhat stunned, seemingly not expecting Su Rui to make this decision. He turned around and shouted loudly: “Young Master Su is sparing your lives, hurry and thank him for his mercy!”
The slapping sounds immediately stopped, and then these lackeys fell to their knees in groups!
“Thank Young Master Su for sparing our lives!” Their voices were uniform and loud!
Su Rui didn’t even glance at them, but instead walked up to Xue Ruyun, looking at her sparkling eyes, and smiled: “Vixen, everything’s fine now.”
Xue Ruyun’s long, alluring eyes flashed with an unidentifiable look as she stared back at Su Rui’s eyes and said: “You did all this for me, I’m almost tempted to offer myself to you!”
Hearing these words, Li Yang quickly turned away, keeping his eyes down, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.
For Li Yang, a beautiful woman of Xue Ruyun’s caliber and aura had an extremely devastating effect. When such a perfect mature beauty says something like “offer myself to you,” what man could resist?
Su Rui felt a burning sensation from Xue Ruyun’s teasing, but when he noticed the mischievous look in her eyes, he immediately realized—this vixen was toying with him again!
Su Rui wasn’t about to show weakness. He reached out and gave Xue Ruyun’s bottom a slap. Her tight skirt-wrapped buttocks quivered, displaying excellent elasticity.
Xue Ruyun was already accustomed to Su Rui’s behavior and didn’t cry out. She only looked at him with slightly reddened cheeks. Clearly, when it came to being provocative, she had to admit defeat to Su Rui.
Li Yang listened nearby with a racing heart and dry mouth. He also wanted to slap Xue Ruyun’s bottom—what an amazing feeling that would be. Unfortunately, that would definitely be suicidal behavior.
“Young Master Su, what should we do with Zhang Hao?” Li Yang cleverly asked, absolutely needing Su Rui’s instructions.
“What do you think?” Su Rui asked in return.
Li Yang’s eyebrows twitched. He realized this was another test from Su Rui.
“Anyone who dares to anger Young Master Su deserves death,” Li Yang said hatefully, looking at Zhang Hao who had fainted on the ground.
Xue Ruyun’s brows furrowed slightly, as if this was somewhat unexpected to her.
In the dictionary of ordinary people, killing is always a very distant concept. Only when specific situations arise do they discover that this terrifying word is actually within arm’s reach.
The coldness of life gradually hardens people’s hearts.
Su Rui shook his head: “Angering me doesn’t necessarily mean death. I’m not that brutal.”
Li Yang raised his head, somewhat trembling. Had he just flattered incorrectly? Could he be that unfortunate?
“However, him targeting my friend is unforgivable.” Su Rui’s gaze drifted toward Xue Ruyun.
Li Yang immediately understood Su Rui’s meaning. He took a deep breath and said: “Come here, drag Zhang Hao into the car! And get an excavator to demolish this Forest Bar right now!”
Hearing this, Xue Ruyun wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say. Her eyes were filled with complexity as she looked at Su Rui.
Offending me is fine, but offending my friends is not acceptable.
This statement thoroughly shocked Xue Ruyun. She suddenly realized she needed to reassess her relationship with Su Rui.
In the process of interacting with this young man, she seemed to owe him more and more.
But what would happen when the debt became too large to repay? What could be done?
Xue Ruyun couldn’t help but look down at her own body.
When she realized what she was thinking, her face immediately turned red, and she cursed inwardly: “Xue Ruyun, what are you thinking?”
Su Rui didn’t notice Xue Ruyun’s small actions. He seemed to remember something and pointed at Li Yang, saying: “That Zhang Hao wrecked my car. Get a brand new Passat and deliver it to the entrance of Bikang Group tomorrow morning.”
“Rest assured, Young Master Su, I will complete this task!”
Su Rui didn’t concern himself further with the fate of the Zhang father and son, nor did he care whether Li Yang would actually bring an excavator. Instead, he took Xue Ruyun’s hand and walked straight out of the bar.
Xue Ruyun’s beautiful eyes looked at Su Rui and said: “Little brother, thank you for today.”
Su Rui replied irritably: “What’s the use of just verbal thanks? How about something more substantial?”
“What substantial thing do you want?” Xue Ruyun’s eyes once again revealed a mischievous smile, but when she remembered Su Rui’s butt-slapping skill, she immediately suppressed her thoughts.
Su Rui didn’t ask Xue Ruyun why she had come to this place. In his view, she must have had her reasons, despite the danger.
“After all that effort, I still haven’t had dinner.” Su Rui patted his stomach.
“That’s easy, I’ll treat you.”
By all accounts, Su Rui had saved her life, and Xue Ruyun needed to express her gratitude somehow.
Normally, when a man and woman choose a place to eat, they might find a Western restaurant for a romantic candlelit dinner, but these two went to a Sichuan restaurant and requested a small private room that could only seat two people.
Xue Ruyun ordered several signature dishes and a bottle of white liquor, looking bold and uninhibited: “To express my gratitude, let’s each drink half a jin, just the two of us.”
“I like your style,” Su Rui grabbed the bottle and opened it, then added: “But if we do that, who’s going to drive us back?”
“Who cares, we can just get a designated driver.” Xue Ruyun snatched the bottle back and poured full glasses for herself and Su Rui.
With these disposable cups, each glass was about two liang. Drinking half a jin of 52-degree baijiu was no easy feat.
At this moment, Su Rui hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Xue Ruyun’s mood.
“Come, to express my gratitude to you, little brother, I’ll drink first.” With that, Xue Ruyun raised her glass and tilted her head back, letting the fiery liquid flow down her throat.
Su Rui watched her snow-white throat move up and down, feeling a strange sense of sexiness.
If such a beautiful woman could be so impressive, Su Rui couldn’t back down. He also emptied his glass.
Xue Ruyun refilled his glass. Perhaps due to the alcohol, her pretty face had turned rosy, and her eyes seemed to be dripping with moisture.
“Has Xue Yang been giving you trouble lately?” Su Rui raised his eyebrows, recalling that night of bloodshed.
That night had completely transformed the direction of Xue Ruyun’s life.
“Not at all. I wonder if you scared him off.” Xue Ruyun raised her glass again, her eyes flirtatious.
“Why are you drinking so fast?”
“To express my gratitude.” Xue Ruyun drained her glass in one go!
Two glasses, already close to half a jin! Was this drinking alcohol or water?
“Is this how you express gratitude?”
“You’ve saved me so many times, even offering myself to you wouldn’t be enough repayment.” Xue Ruyun said. The more she drank, the brighter her eyes became.
“Offering yourself is actually not a bad idea.” Su Rui’s eyes scanned Xue Ruyun’s voluptuous figure a few times, half-jokingly.
“Do you really think so?” Xue Ruyun’s eyes were seductive.
“I think I need a bit more courage.”
“Then let me help you find some courage.” Xue Ruyun gave Su Rui a seductive look, opened the door, called the waiter, and said: “Two more bottles of liquor.”
“No way, drinking like this will lead to chaos,” Su Rui tried to stop Xue Ruyun.
“It’s fine. When drinking with a confidant, a thousand cups are too few. Besides, I haven’t drunk for a long time,” Xue Ruyun said, slightly tipsy.
A beauty with alcohol becomes even more tempting.
Su Rui couldn’t help but swallow. His throat felt somewhat dry.
“Actually, I’m planning to leave Bikang,” Xue Ruyun said in a somewhat melancholy tone after finishing the second bottle.
Su Rui rarely saw this spirited woman speak in such a low tone, indicating her mood was very abnormal.
“When did you decide?” Su Rui put down his chopsticks, seemingly not very surprised by Xue Ruyun’s decision. He didn’t even ask for the reason, as if it was completely expected.
“The day Xue Yang came to cause trouble at Max Bar.” Xue Ruyun took a small sip of liquor. After drinking so much, she could no longer feel the burn; her entire esophagus was numb.
Of course, it wasn’t just her esophagus that was numb, but perhaps her heart as well.
Xue Ruyun had only lived in two cities for extended periods in her life: Nanyang and Ninghai. The latter was almost like her second life, the starting point of her rebirth. Now that she was about to leave, she naturally felt all kinds of reluctance.
During this journey, she had encountered many events and met many people.
Su Rui understood Xue Ruyun’s feelings well. In many stages of his past, he had frequently experienced such partings.
“What are your plans after resigning?” Su Rui looked at her bright eyes.
“I’ve already registered a company and used my previous connections to contact several partners. I’m planning to get involved in Nanyang Province’s foreign trade business.”
“Foreign trade? The companies under the Xue family are all foreign trade giants in Nanyang Province. Going head-to-head with them might not be the best approach,” Su Rui pondered for a moment, then said, “I’m not trying to discourage you, but if they notice, they can easily crush your newly established company.”
“Then I just won’t let them notice.” Xue Ruyun said: “Your concern is reasonable, but I can’t let that stop me from trying. Otherwise, I’ll never succeed. The Xue family is there, growing increasingly powerful. If I don’t make an effort, things will only get harder later, and the gap between us will only widen.”
Looking at this beautiful, alluring, yet extremely resilient woman across from him, Su Rui’s eyes gradually revealed admiration. The word “fear” had never existed in his dictionary, so his previous words weren’t meant to deliberately discourage Xue Ruyun, but rather to test her.
He wanted to see if Xue Ruyun’s determination was as strong as he had imagined.
Fortunately, the result didn’t disappoint him.
