Chapter 799: Chapter 800 Bullying

Zhao Rui and Song Qing, who were classmates of Lin Su’er, went to Hedong for a day out with their respective boyfriends, making it a group of four.

Zhou Pingqing said, "It would have been great if we could have invited Vice Director Lin to join us today."

Zhao Rui sighed and said, "Now that she’s a vice director, I don’t dare to approach her."

Song Qing also shook her head and added, "Yeah, we are classmates, but her status is there now, I don’t even dare to talk to her anymore."

Yang Yong then said, "I feel like Lin Su’er wouldn’t be so ungrateful, it’s you guys who are putting too much emphasis on status."

Zhao Rui gave a bitter smile and responded, "I know Lin Su’er’s character, she wouldn’t look down on us, but precisely because we are classmates, we feel embarrassed to bother her over nothing."

Song Qing nodded in agreement repeatedly and said, "Yeah, now that our statuses are different, the gap is so big, alas."

While the two envied her, they didn’t really harbor any significant jealousy. Moreover, they knew their place and so in the hospital, they didn’t mention their relationship with their classmate, Lin Su’er.

Their car was on the highway in Hedong, which wasn’t very busy, allowing them to drive at a higher speed. As they approached a turn ahead, they slowed down.

A Land Rover suddenly rushed from behind, attempting to overtake them, but then a large vehicle came head-on in the opposite direction.

The road only had two lanes, and upon seeing this, the Land Rover quickly swerved back into its lane. Although Zhou Pingqing immediately hit the brakes, due to the suddenness, the car couldn’t stop in time and ended up hitting the rear of the Land Rover.

"Ah!" At the moment of the collision, Zhao Rui and Song Qing both screamed in fright.

Fortunately, the impact wasn’t severe, and the car didn’t flip over.

The Land Rover stopped, and two young men jumped out. Shortly after, a sports car followed, with another two getting out.

Zhou Pingqing and his group also got out of their car quickly. One of the youths from the Land Rover came over, glaring angrily and cursing, "Fuck, how do you drive?!"

Zhou Pingqing was stunned for a moment and then frowned, replying, "It’s you who broke the law, okay? You tried to overtake on a bend, and then you abruptly cut into our lane. We were driving normally."

"Driving normally my ass!" The young man with triangular eyes cursed viciously, "You hit the back of my car, and you call that driving normally? Shit."

Zhou Pingqing, furious and pale, retorted, "Speak with some civility."

"Civility my ass! Are you asking for a beating?!"

The four newcomers immediately surrounded Zhou Pingqing and his group, clearly ready to start a fight.

Zhou Pingqing’s face turned an even deeper shade of green. They were unreasonable and now so barbaric; it was outright bullying. Now that he had some status, he was all the more aware of the situation with the wealthy. Seeing that the other party’s cars were all valued over two million yuan, he knew these were not the kind of people to mess with.

Zhao Rui exclaimed in anger, "Are you guys out of your minds? It was clearly your traffic violation."

The guy with triangular eyes said impatiently, "We caused a traffic violation? You suddenly slowed down. If I don’t overtake you, should I just follow behind you, breathing in your exhaust? We have things to do and don’t want to waste time arguing. I don’t want to deal with insurance either. My bumper will definitely need replacing and the right headlight too. I won’t ask for more, just give me 50,000 yuan and we’ll let you go."

Zhao Rui, fuming with anger, replied, "50,000? Why don’t you go rob someone? We’re going through insurance, and we’re calling the police. Let the traffic cops handle this."

At this point, another young man with a buzz cut frowned and said, "Xiao Jun, it looks like they’re not wealthy. Just ask for 10,000 yuan from them and let’s get on with our business. It’s not worth stooping to their level."

Hearing this, Zhao Rui got even more infuriated and snapped, "Does having money make you great? What’s wrong with us ordinary people? It was your violation that caused our car to crash. Shouldn’t you be compensating us? I really can’t stand the way you’re talking down to us."

The triangular-eyed guy said, "Young Master Gu, you see? These people really don’t know what’s good for them. They don’t give face to Young Master Gu. If I don’t teach them a lesson, it would be a slap in the face for Young Master Gu."

The buzz-cut youth scoffed, "Truly clueless."

At this, Zhou Pingqing’s expression changed, and he said, "Young Master Gu? Are you a member of the Gu family?"

The guy with triangular eyes snorted, "You know about the Gu family, kid? At least you’re not completely ignorant."

Zhou Pingqing’s lips twitched. Although the Sun family and the Su family were the two most powerful clans in Minghe, there were other influential families too. The Gu family was another formidable clan in Minghe, not as powerful as the Su and Sun families, but still far too strong for the average person.

Zhou Pingqing inwardly cursed his luck and quickly tried to appease them with a smile, "Young Master Gu, this... why don’t we call it even and go get our cars fixed?"

The triangular-eyed guy glared and retorted, "Wishful thinking. Young Master Gu was giving you a chance by asking for 10,000 yuan, but you were too clueless to take it. Now you’ve lost that opportunity."

Zhou Pingqing hastily said, "I agree, I agree, 10,000 is 10,000. We apologize, and that’s that."

Having been dating Zhou Pingqing for some time, Zhao Rui could tell these people were troublemakers by the way he reacted. Although she was boiling with rage inside, she didn’t dare say anything further.

However, the guy with triangular eyes was not about to let Zhou Pingqing and his group off the hook, stating, "50,000! Not a penny less!"

Young Master Gu simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can’t help it, it’s your own doing."

This was tantamount to extreme bullying yet Young Master Gu had the audacity to act as if they deserved it. This only increased the sense of grievance and anger in Zhao Rui and the others. They were furious yet dared not vent, feeling an indescribable pain in their hearts.

Just then a car arrived and parked behind everyone; a man got out and asked, "What’s going on here?"

Upon seeing the man, Zhao Rui’s heart leaped with joy. She quickly said, "Song Xiaodong, quick, come here, they’re being unreasonable."

Song Xiaodong approached and asked, "What kind of unreasonableness?"

Zhao Rui quickly narrated the incident, and when Song Xiaodong saw where the cars had collided, he frowned and glanced at the other men.

The guy with triangular eyes scoffed, "Who the hell are you, kid? Stop showing off here. Young Master Gu is present, and just because you drive a lousy Mercedes, you think you can strut around in front of us?"

In their eyes, anyone driving a Mercedes was likely just a driver. Even if they weren’t a driver, they weren’t considered to be significant. Really influential people would be in chauffeur-driven cars. So what was so impressive about someone driving himself?
