Chapter 227: Chapter 167: Drunken Woman

-- When will Mr. Yi realize it? Maybe he has already noticed, but for the sake of face... he’d rather die than stop!

Just as Sui Yi sat on the rattan chair outside the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for Gong Jiu to come pick her up in his car...

Creak, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, a staggering woman walked out, pushing the door while supporting herself on the redwood wall by the door, and took two steps toward Sui Yi...

-- This girl isn’t watching her path.

The smell of alcohol wafted over, making Sui Yi frown, she was about to move aside a bit.

That girl had already supported herself on the wall beside her, her head bowed, her long hair falling down, her face not clear, Sui Yi could just smell the alcohol and saw the plunging neckline revealing fair skin, and...

Ugh~~~

The other made such a sound.

At that moment, Sui Yi wasn’t exactly dazed, it could only be described as... silent.

In any romantic story held in novels, TV, or any other narrative medium.

Whether a beauty or a handsome guy encountering another one at night, it shouldn’t be treated this way...

Ugh, ugh, ugh~~~

The girl continued to retch several times, but she didn’t vomit anything...

But what was really annoying was that she really wanted to vomit...

That kind of desperately trying to vomit sound~~~.

-- It makes people want to vomit.

Actually, an ordinary person would have already fled or taken out their phone to take frantic pictures... but Miss Sui Yi’s reflexes were a bit slow and somewhat twisted.

So she just quietly sat there, watching the girl retch in front of her a few times before reaching out with two tissues and a cup of water to the girl.

"Just ordered it, I haven’t drunk from it, take it."

The long-haired woman stiffened, not reacting yet.

"Fuck! This woman is here!"

"Hurry up! She almost got away!"

Two men, each dressed in suits, instantly saw the woman leaning on the wall. They didn’t notice Sui Yi, blocked by the woman; upon spotting her, one of the men reached out and grabbed the woman’s arm, twisting and pulling her to one side.

Long hair flew about, revealing a pretty and delicate face, her expression extremely pained, she twisted her arm and whispered softly, "Go away... Save me..."

"Had our brothers’ drink and thinking of leaving... Let you go!"

One man directly moved in to grab and restrain the woman, his hand reaching toward her chest.

A hand intercepted that hand.

Pristine white, slender, cold as chilled jade.

The man startled, looked up, and saw that there was another person standing up from a chair. This person, now standing, silently took the drunken woman’s arm, her gaze coolly sweeping over the four men.

That chill, compelling, pierced right to the heart.

Both men tensed up, but as they were a bit drunk, seeing Sui Yi’s striking appearance made their eyes pop, and alcohol emboldened them, the initial intimidation faded quite a bit. They fiddled with their ties, chuckling, "Another beauty... Want to play with us brothers? Come on, let’s go... Ah~~~"

The man whose wrist was gripped screamed in agony, his face contorting.

The nearby people, including those in the restaurant, were startled. The crowd gathered around without knowing the reason, only to see the man in agony, "Let go, let go, let... please..."

Sui Yi released her grip, glanced at the two men who seemed to have whispered something to each other, and then simply turned and ran away.

With a slight frown, Gong Jiu hadn’t arrived yet, and this woman’s situation was still unclear...

She helped the woman sit on the rattan chair, handed her the cup, the woman still seemed shocked and out of sorts, Sui Yi couldn’t get a clear explanation...

And as the girl became increasingly groggy...

Trouble arrived.

From the internet cafe and bar connected along the street, two groups of people emerged, crossing a road, and converged.

A young man, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, dressed somewhat sloppily, dragging wrinkled leather boots, blew a ring of smoke to the man beside him, "I tell you, kid, not focusing on your job, what’s all the fuss about, is that woman really that pretty? From those few you’ve been with before, fuck, our brothers can’t even eat properly!"

"Really, really, and two of them... the one behind is even more beautiful, clearly better looking! But quite skillful.... There, just there..." The man said, pointing towards the restaurant’s entrance.

At this moment, in front of the restaurant, about thirty people—office workers, middle-aged men, youths, or even students still in school uniforms—just laughed and with commanding presence blocked the restaurant’s entrance.

The people inside the restaurant didn’t dare to come out, and the street was naturally bustling with many watching the excitement, but asking them to come help was really...

NO WAY!

After all, these thirty or so people were regulars here, most shop owners knew them, and whether it was in that era or any other, there were always groups of people with different backgrounds, ages, and origins who could mingle together. They could play in an internet cafe for three consecutive nights, evolving from strangers to life-and-death comrades, or not know one another at all, rallying a crowd from the smoke-filled internet cafe and booze-strewn bar with just a cigarette, a bowl of instant noodles, and a call to arms.

And the strongest rally was...

-- "Bros, I spotted a beauty, but I can’t make a move! Come over and help me hold the scene."

If it’s two beauties, even more needless to say.

You think it’s childish?

Often, these people entwine the deepest threads of a city, countless connections, perhaps one of them even carrying a life or multiple robbery cases, and such people might still call a teen who cheats on a math test by secretly altering the score a dear brother...

This is a complex society; there’s no such thing as childish, only the sweet talk of brotherhood and the reality driven by greed.

So, they came. (Hey, isn’t it quite dreamy? But actually, such things are plenty in reality, just not in my experience due to lack of attractiveness...I’ve heard.)

Then, they saw a beautiful, ethereally tipsy woman sitting on a chair, dressed in a business suit, curvaceous, with legs so white...

The young girl standing to the side, holding a glass of water, seemed much younger, but she was truly gorgeous, radiating a reserved and icy beauty that made the young man forget to smoke upon seeing her.

After a moment, he flicked away his cigarette butt, stepped forward, smiled at Sui Yi, and said, "Hey beauty, did you just offend my buddy over there?"

Sui Yi lowered her eyes to look at him, pausing momentarily on his cross-shaped earring.

She didn’t respond.

The young man wasn’t annoyed, merely raised an eyebrow, "We guys won’t make a big deal out of it with you ladies. How about this, you and the beauty go have a few drinks with us, apologize, and we can forget all about this... The place isn’t far, just that bar over there... What do you say, shall we go?"

He gestured confidently, convinced that a fragile woman like Sui Yi would comply in such a situation.

Just as women have naturally submitted to men through the ages.

Sui Yi glanced at the woman dozing off, sighed softly. Was this an unexpected trouble?

"What if I don’t want to go?" Sui Yi said flatly.

Not want to go?

Which woman would want to walk into a den of wolves?

The young man smiled, his earring glittering brilliantly.

"Then you don’t have a choice! Plus, I really don’t like a woman being above me..."

With a lewd smile, he took a step forward, about to grab Sui Yi...

A fiery red Maserati drove in from the alleyway.

It stopped abruptly in front of the restaurant.

Lights off, engine killed, door open, Gong Jiu stood by the car door, dressed in fitted trousers and a slim vest, her short hair explosively stylish!

Such a beautiful, fashionable, and spirited person... actually...

Bam! The car door slammed shut!

And quite dominantly so!

With one hand twirling the keychain, her large amber eyes scanned the scene before looking at Sui Yi.

"Tell me, is this supposed to be a midnight snack? Then it shouldn’t be this ’Inferior’ type..."

With contempt, Gong Jiu, who was naturally haughty to the extreme, only had one reaction to these troublemakers who had emerged from the internet cafe in their slippers.

—Courting death, huh!

Though Gong Jiu’s entrance was extremely imposing and flashy, there were still some who were undeterred, even agitated by her remarks and their intoxication and rebellion.

For instance, the instigating drunk man who now shouted, "Fuck your mother! Showing off a fancy car! You probably don’t even know who’s keeping you... Brothers, let’s take these women down..."

He hadn’t even finished speaking!

Gong Jiu twirled the keychain around her finger, swiftly moved forward, and with a long leg kicked his stomach!

Whumph!

Three people fell to the ground along with him.

The others were taken aback.

Instinctively, they took a step back... but the young man scoffed, "Aren’t you men? Aren’t you brothers?"

With those words, blood rushed to their heads!

Those who had retreated surged forward!

A fierce brawl ensued!

Lady Gong Jiu seemed in a foul mood today, striking ruthlessly... the crunching sound of bones shifting was exceedingly crisp!

Screams were continuous, like a slaughterhouse.

But then, one of the enraged pulled out something from his coat... a flash of cold light aimed at Gong Jiu’s back!

The young man, who had been watching, saw a silver object flash past...

Crash!

Glass shattered!

Xiao Dao also hit the ground!

The man with a bruised palm cried out in pain.

On the ground lay an intact glass, the light from the Glass Lamp piercing through, reflecting...

A glass, it was a glass!

The glass still contained half a cup of water.

The young man suddenly turned, staring at Sui Yi’s empty-handed, expressionless palm. She was also looking at him, gazing down, her eyes utterly cold.

At that moment, the young man suddenly felt there was some truth to what they say online!

—A woman is a tiger!

And the two here, one must be the King of Tigers, and the other quite possibly the Tiger God. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote on qidian.com, cast monthly votes, and continue to support us. Mobile readers, please visit m.qidian.com to read further.)
