“Nothing.”
Zhao Yicheng smiled faintly.
“I was just thinking about work.”
“You’re not seriously thinking of firing her, are you?”
Xu Yinsheng glared at him angrily.
“Calm down. She’s a director, one of the company’s pillars, and I really have no interest in her.”
“Rest assured, I definitely won’t cheat on you.”
“You care about her that much?”
Zhao Yicheng narrowed his eyes, a trace of danger in his voice.
If Xu Yinsheng hadn’t kept bringing this up, he wouldn’t be so petty.
But after repeatedly assuring him, it only made it seem like she was trying to cover something up, making him suspicious.
Zhao Yicheng had a tolerant heart, but that didn’t mean he would accept being cheated on.
In other words, no man could accept being betrayed.
If he really ended up with a cuckold’s hat on his head… he thought to himself with a grim smile, he would make sure Xu Yinsheng understood the cost of infidelity within a marriage.
Seeing the dangerous look in Zhao Yicheng’s eyes, Xu Yinsheng suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She timidly shrank back, inexplicably intimidated.
Enough, he’s definitely mentally ill.
Probably having another episode.
Saying he wouldn’t, but secretly doubting—that was typical.
“Forget it, think what you want.”
Xu Yinsheng rolled her eyes in exasperation, grabbed the golf club, and swung hard.
The white ball on the tripod shot off with a loud “bang!” and went straight into the hole!
Seeing Xu Yinsheng like that, Zhao Yicheng didn’t ask any more questions, only keeping a watchful eye in secret.
They played for a while.
Until Xu Yinsheng was thirsty from playing, but Jin Xinnuo still hadn’t returned.
Instead, faint noisy voices came from a distance, as if an argument had broken out.
Golf Club.
On the green lawn.
“How can you not watch where you’re going! Are you blind?!”
Bai Ruoxi pointed at her white skirt’s hem stained a deep red, angrily confronting Jin Xinnuo, who was hanging her head.
Standing next to Jin Xinnuo was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a suit, his round stomach looking like a meatball, with a severely receding hairline.
His face was plastered with an obsequious smile as he waved his thick hand in the air.
“Sorry, sorry, Miss Bai, my subordinate was careless.”
“Hmph!” Bai Ruoxi flicked her head away, full of disgust.
“Xiao Jin.”
Manager Wu frowned, looking at the downcast Jin Xinnuo with displeasure.
“Aren’t you going to apologize to the customer?”
Jin Xinnuo bit her lip, glancing at the fat middle-aged man before looking at Bai Ruoxi’s disdainful face.
In the end, she chose to keep the peace.
“Sorry, Miss Bai, I…”
“What use is an apology!”
“This skirt was custom-made, worth two hundred thousand.”
Bai Ruoxi pointed at the skirt stained in the signature Udon Tea purple-red color, then at Jin Xinnuo, her gaze full of contempt.
“You’re paying for this!”
Then her starry eyes flicked as if she thought of something, a smug smile curling on her lips.
“Oh right, I almost forgot, a poor person like you definitely can’t come up with two hundred thousand! I’m here today accompanying Second Brother for golf, I’m in a good mood, so I won’t make you pay. Kneel down and kowtow three times to me.”
“Today, I’m showing mercy and letting you off.”
“Miss Bai, demanding twenty thousand is already extortion, and your recent words are personal insults.”
Jin Xinnuo took a deep breath, veins popping on her forehead as she forced down her anger.
Although she earned millions annually, two hundred thousand was still a lot.
She wanted to end things peacefully before, but with the other party acting so arrogantly, how could she swallow this humiliation?
Jin Xinnuo raised a finger, pointing at the surveillance camera on the club’s wall.
“Miss Bai, if I did hit you, I will compensate for the skirt. But if I didn’t, then your words just now are defamatory.”
“There’s surveillance here. We can ask the staff to retrieve the footage and even call the police to analyze responsibility.”
“You’re saying I hit you? Impossible!”
As the third daughter of the Bai family, Bai Ruoxi was always arrogant and overbearing.
She widened her eyes, angrily pointing at Jin Xinnuo.
“You clearly hit me!”
“Do I need this measly two hundred thousand? Any outfit in my wardrobe costs tens of thousands. Do you know who my father is? He’s worth tens of millions, easily!”
She snorted arrogantly, looking down on Jin Xinnuo.
“Manager Wu, handle this!”
On the other side of the green lawn.
Xu Yinsheng blinked, the blood-red glow in her eyes disappearing.
With her succubus eyes enhancing allure, and her vampire eyes enhancing vision and hearing, it was like having binoculars and a stethoscope.
She nudged the man beside her with her elbow.
“Go save the day, little bro.”
“Your underling’s being bullied.”
“This is such a perfect chance. If you step in to help Xinnuo, you’ll definitely win yourself a little fan.”
They had been waiting in place for over ten minutes.
Jin Xinnuo hadn’t returned for a long time, and the sound of quarrels on the golf course made Xu Yinsheng suspect something had happened on the way.
So she came with Zhao Yicheng to check.
Unexpectedly, they arrived just in time to see the scene.
Zhao Yicheng also withdrew his gaze, shaking his head slightly as he exhaled, “No comment without knowing the full story.”
“No comment my ass!”
Xu Yinsheng swore loudly.
“This is clearly a heroic rescue moment!”
“And Bai Ruoxi, don’t you know? I do. I have some connection with her second brother. Bai Ruoxi is definitely a little princess—spoiled, arrogant, and tyrannical.”
“I’ve heard from her brother that once she suspected her eldest brother of having an affair with the company secretary. She splashed hot water on the secretary in front of the entire company, disfiguring her.”
“Ugh! It was awful. In the end, they had to pay money to settle it, or she would have been jailed for years.”
Zhao Yicheng remained unmoved, calmly saying, “Wait for the police and go through legal procedures.”
“The Minister Jin can handle it.”
“Really not going?”
“This isn’t the company.”
“But she works for your company.”
“Labor law and unions emphasize that employees’ private time outside working hours should not be interfered with.”
Zhao Yicheng seemed determined not to intervene.
Whoever hit whom aside, the skirt was stained, so Jin Xinnuo should pay some compensation, like a humanitarian payout in a pedestrian-caused car accident.
“Hey, fat manager over there, look here!”
Xu Yinsheng suddenly shouted, attracting everyone’s attention.
“This gentleman beside me is Jin Xinnuo’s superior. He is very dissatisfied with your behavior.”
“As a senior executive, everything Jin Xinnuo does affects company stocks, and Miss Bai’s baseless accusations and insults have harmed our company’s reputation.”
“We have lawyers on standby and reserve the right to sue.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yinsheng quickly circled behind Zhao Yicheng and kicked him hard, making him stagger.
Zhao Yicheng staggered forward a few steps, just about ten steps from the crowd, successfully drawing their attention.
He turned his head to look, but Xu Yinsheng had already disappeared.
Ignoring everyone’s gazes, just as Zhao Yicheng was about to give chase—
“Zhao Yicheng, what exactly are you?!” Bai Ruoxi suddenly shouted at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger and disdain.
“You actually turned your back on me? Why would my father want you, wanting to marry me off to you?!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I have someone I like.”
Zhao Yicheng cut her off mercilessly.
“You, you, you!!!”
She gasped angrily, her face flushed.
Bai Ruoxi stormed forward and stretched out her hand to block him.
“You’re not allowed to leave. Today, I’m making you explain yourself!!”
