Chapter 88: A Slap for Each Person

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: A Slap for Each Person

Xu Jinzhi naturally could see, but even though she had already drunk a bit too much, the little brat in front of her still wasn’t her match.

"If you’ve got the guts, try making a move!"

The unexpected turn occurred at this moment when everyone was silent. He Jingyi suddenly stood up and walked swiftly toward Xu Jinzhi.

His face was sullen, clearly ready to make trouble.

Sure enough, in the next moment, He Jingyi circled around, grabbed Xu Tiancheng, and with his other hand clenched into a fist, punched him hard!

Xu Tiancheng staggered several steps and fell straight to the ground. He Jingyi didn’t intend to stop, rushing up to press him down and start beating him.

"You think you’re worthy of her giving you face?" He Jingyi’s eyes were gloomy, and his punches landed with increasing force.

Xu Tiancheng initially didn’t react, getting somewhat dazed from He Jingyi’s punches, but soon realized. He had been displeased because Xu Jinzhi didn’t give him face in front of so many people; now, he couldn’t control the anger in his heart.

The two soon grappled with each other, and someone wanted to step in to stop them. After all, causing such a commotion was indeed inappropriate. "Enough, enough!"

However, as soon as the man stepped forward, he was pushed away by one of them, sprawling toward the dining table. Fortunately, someone with quick reflexes caught him.

The person who wanted to stop them now didn’t even know where to begin.

The noise here was loud, but outside the private room, there was no sound. Even if the waitstaff outside heard, they wouldn’t come in to check.

It wasn’t until someone in the private room pressed the service bell, asking for security to be called over!

As they fought, they moved closer to Xu Jinzhi, almost injuring Hu Yuefeng rather than Xu Jinzhi.

With a calm face, Xu Jinzhi stood up and took a few steps forward toward the two. People around wanted to dissuade her, but before they could speak, Xu Jinzhi had already grabbed each with one hand and forcibly separated them.

Then, before anyone could react, she raised her hand and slapped He Jingyi, turning sideways to give Xu Tiancheng a harsh slap as well!

"Are you sober now?" Xu Jinzhi looked expressionlessly at Xu Tiancheng, then at He Jingyi.

The two seemed much more sober indeed, especially He Jingyi, who looked a bit aggrieved at Xu Jinzhi, thinking he was helping her, wasn’t he?

Xu Tiancheng also looked dazed at everyone in the room, realizing what he had done, with a tinge of panic flashing in his eyes.

He had messed things up again and offended so many people.

In fact, not only had the two of them sobered up, but the others in the room had also quickly become clearer, expressing admiration for Xu Jinzhi’s swift actions!

No one had expected Xu Jinzhi to have such skills and courage.

The security had arrived by now, but the private room had quieted down. The security wasn’t sure if they needed to intervene.

After a brief silence, Hu Yuefeng said in a deep voice, "There’s nothing more, you can leave now."

The security had no complaints about being called for nothing and hurriedly left with their team.

"It’s getting late, and everyone has pretty much drunk enough, so let’s call it a night," someone suggested.

No one said anything about continuing, so the dinner ended there.

When leaving the private room, Xu Jinzhi was walking with Hu Yuefeng, who sighed helplessly, "That brat from the Xu Family really is a lost cause!"

Xu Jinzhi didn’t respond, as Hu Yuefeng could scold. She could also scold in her heart, but she would never badmouth someone in front of the elders.

"Today, it was my connection that brought about this incident. I should apologize to you," Hu Yuefeng said in a deep voice.

Xu Jinzhi responded calmly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I didn’t take it to heart, and neither should you."

Hu Yuefeng looked at Xu Jinzhi, unable to help but laugh, "I really don’t know where Mr. Xu got such good fortune to have a daughter as excellent as you."

In their casual conversation, they reached the hotel entrance.

Hu Yuefeng’s driver drove up, and he got in the car and left first.

Only then did Xu Jinzhi look back to see Assistant Chen following her and was surprised to find He Jingyi there as well.

Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly, then ignored He Jingyi’s presence, asking Assistant Chen with some concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"Hmm, I’m fine," Assistant Chen nodded, although already having some trouble controlling himself. However, his mind was still clear, and he was trying hard to stay calm.

Xu Jinzhi nodded and turned to see if the car had arrived, clearly ignoring He Jingyi.

People from the He Group whispered to He Jingyi, "Mr. He, we should leave."

He Jingyi acted as if he hadn’t heard, ignoring the person speaking to him while his gaze remained fixed on Xu Jinzhi’s back.

Ever since he learned about Xu Jinzhi’s engagement and was decisively rejected by her, He Jingyi hadn’t seen Xu Jinzhi for a long time.

He didn’t dare to see her, afraid that if he did, he wouldn’t be able to control his feelings for her!

So knowing that Xu Jinzhi would be there, he had tried his best to avoid her during the day, but he ultimately couldn’t resist.

He only wanted to take a look at her and didn’t expect things to turn out that way.

Yet, He Jingyi felt wronged. He was clearly helping Xu Jinzhi; why did she hit him?

As He Jingyi felt a mix of grievances, Xu Jinzhi’s car arrived. She slightly turned her head to remind Assistant Chen, "Let’s go."

"Okay." Assistant Chen nodded.

Soon, they got in the car and left, while He Jingyi still stood there watching.

The next day.

Xu Jinzhi was still as busy as ever. With great difficulty, she finished a meeting and was about to have lunch when she saw Xu Tiancheng again.

Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly, planning to ignore him, but Xu Tiancheng directly blocked her path.

"What’s up?" Xu Jinzhi asked impatiently.

Xu Tiancheng felt embarrassed, but remembering what his father told him that morning, his face turned red as he gritted his teeth, "I’m here to apologize!"

"I’m sorry for yesterday’s incident. Please don’t hold it against me!"

Even while apologizing, Xu Tiancheng’s face remained reluctant because even now, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong the previous night.
