Zhao Yuan closed her eyes as the iced coffee dripped down from the top of her head, leaving her entire face in a disheveled state. The surge of resentment swirled within her, yet she couldn’t figure out how to vent it.
Beside her, Liu Jing promptly tried to ingratiate Li Jin, “How can a servant understand anything about coffee? Why don’t I personally order for Sister Jin?”
Liu Jing patiently inquired about Li Jin’s preferences and then summoned the waiter. The group ordered coffee again, paying no attention to Zhao Yuan, who was still forced to kneel on the side.
The raging fury in Zhao Yuan’s heart was on the verge of burning Li Jin alive, Unfortunately, she was utterly powerless in front of these bodyguards. She could only kneel in humiliation, listening to Li Jin and others chatting away.
Guan Bo, who had been waiting impatiently by Zhao Yuan’s car for quite some time, couldn’t tolerate it any longer. Why was Zhao Yuan taking so long to shop? The whole afternoon had pa.s.sed, and Zhao Yuan had yet to return.
A peculiar thought crossed Guan Bo l s mind.
Could it be that Zhao Yuan went on another blind date?
Guan Bo, squatting on the ground, stood up abruptly. He was here waiting for Zhao Yuan to take him home, and now she was on a blind date with someone
No way!
Guan Bo rushed toward the direction of the mall like a streak of smoke.
After circling the mall with no sign of Zhao Yuan, an irritated Guan Bo stormed into restaurants and beverage shops one after another.
Meanwhile, Li Jin and her group were leisurely sipping coffee. In a moment of whimsy, Li Jin picked up her phone and took several pictures of Zhao Yuan, whose face was covered in coffee stains.
Liu Jing chuckled, “It was just a splash. It doesn’t smell aromatic enough. How about I help decorate this servant a bit more, and then Sister Jin can take more photos?”
Pleased with being called “Sister Jin,” Li Jin agreed, “Sure.”
Liu Jing and the others lifted the cup and approached Zhao Yuan with a mischievous smile, preparing to pour coffee on her.
Before they could complete the coffee-pouring process, a loud shout interrupted them, and they were instantly pushed aside.
Even the nearby bodyguards were caught off guard and stumbled to the side under Guan Bo e s force.
Guan Bo, with a face full of heartache, used his clothes to wipe the coffee off
Zhao Yuan’s face. Anxiously, he asked, “Yuan, are you okay?”
Zhao Yuan, with red eyes but holding back tears, replied with a hint of grievance, “Why did you come so late?”
Listening to Zhao Yuan’s slightly distraught voice, Guan Bo felt unbearable pain. He pulled Zhao Yuan up but accidentally tugged at her arm, causing her to let out a soft hiss. This left Guan Bo incredibly distressed.
Guan Bo turned to glare at Li Jin and snapped, “Li Jin, how dare you touch my woman!”
Li Jin felt a bit fl.u.s.tered. She never expected Zhao Yuan to be a.s.sociated with
Guan Bo.
Although Guan Bo was from a side branch of the Guan family, he was still someone she couldn’t afford to offend. Panicking, Li Jin hastily explained, “This was Zhao Yuan’s own choice, and it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I didn’t pour the coffee, did I?”
Liu Jing and the others were taken aback by Li Jin’s quick attempt to distance herself. They seemed a bit bewildered.
Judging by Li Jin’s att.i.tude toward Guan Bo, they seemed to realize that the man before them wasn’t ordinary.
Zhao Yuan exclaimed in fury, “It was Li Jin. She called me a maid, a servant, dislocated my hand, and poured coffee on me.”
Guan Bo e s eyes darkened as he stared at Li Jin, saying coldly, “Li Jin, you’ve really outdone yourself! I’ll remember this, and you better prepare yourself for the consequences. You’ve just sealed your own fate.”
He then turned his gaze toward Liu Jing and the others, his face twisted into a
sinister smile. “The few of you won’t escape either.”
With that, Guan Bo shielded Zhao Yuan and walked toward the exit. The nearby bodyguards, without instructions from Li Jin, dared not move and could only watch Guan Bo take Zhao Yuan away.
Watching Guan Bo e s departing figure, Li Jin shouted, “Guan Bo, is there no room for reconciliation in this matter?”
Guan Bo didn’t look back, just coldly said, “None! I will make you pay for this.”
Li Jin chuckled softly, “In that case, no matter what, you won’t let us off? Then, why should I let you leave?”
She didn’t want to confront the Guan family, but once Guan Bo returned, he would surely mobilize the family’s influence to deal with her.
Since there was no chance of salvaging the situation, she could only find another way to minimize the danger.
Guan Bo sneered, “Do you believe that the Li family alone has the power to challenge the Guan family?”
“l may not be able to touch the Guan family, but I do have the strength to deal with you.” Li Jin said calmly..
