Chapter 1435 The Closest Person 2
After hearing that, Xi Xiaye replied with a smile, “We plan to organize a small family gathering. What can a one-year-old possibly know? Plus, we don’t want it to be a troublesome affair and drain everybody else in the process.”
“He’s your only baby darling, yet you really wish to wrong your son? And has Master Mu agreed to this?” Su Nan questioned with a chuckle.
Come to think of it, Mu Yuchen had done an impeccable job protecting their sons in the past year. He had never let them be exposed to the media. Moreover, there were always guards surrounding Mu Zirui and Mu Zicheng, some of them even covert .
Especially after Xi Xiaye delivered Xiao Cheng prematurely due to the accident, these arrangements could not have been tightened further.
“Grandpa is also not someone who takes such matters seriously. He just wants the family to be happy, so he left the decision to the both of us…”
Thud!
“d.a.m.n you, woman. What do you think you’re doing? Are those eyes of yours freaking blind or what?”
“Yeah, what were you looking at? Did your parents teach you how to walk?”
“Hey, you’re the ones who were not paying attention to your surroundings, gossiping while walking around! How many eyes did you bring along today?”
“Oh my, you have some guts to talk back, huh? You still think that you’re right after b.u.mping into me like that, huh!? Even my contact lens has dropped! Do you know how much they cost? It’s a couple hundred thousand! Are you even capable of paying for it?”
“You’re the one who knocked into me. What makes you think you have the right to confront me with such aggression? What are you up to, huh?”
“I demand to speak to the manager. What kind of person is this? Do you think this is a place that welcomes all people? Hmph!”
The clamor of quarrels butchered its way through the hallway and into the room. Even Xi Xiaye and Su Nan started frowning. What intrigued them even more than the incident was one of the voices as it seemed very familiar. The two were a little puzzled. They exchanged glances and directed their sight towards the doorway of the room. Coincidentally, an a.s.sistant was bringing in hot towels for them.
With that opportunity, their visions extended through the door gap and beyond the room, but what came into their sight was—Xi Xinyi! That familiar voice belonged to Xi Xinyi!
Immediately, the frown on Xi Xiaye’s forehead tightened even more, but before she could react any further, the taller woman standing across from Xi Xinyi had already pounced onto her. She pulled her hair and started beating her up. Naturally, Xi Xinyi began to fight back and the two started to wrestle in a matter of seconds.
The women were very aggressive. Suddenly, all Xi Xiaye could hear were screeches, followed by a few shrieks. The actions of the two women were very swift, and it was obvious that Xi Xinyi was nowhere near on par with them. She was being pinned on the floor and taking the beating of her life. All she could do was cover her head while m.u.f.fled voices of pain surrounded the hall.
When the argument broke out, the two ma.s.seurs stopped the ma.s.sage.
Xi Xiaye’s frown could not have been deeper. She got off the beauty bed, undid her towel, and started putting on her clothes at almost lightspeed. Then, she burst out of the room.
The hallways were crowded, full of customers who came for their spa sessions. All of them only stood there and watched the scene, but not even a single person lent a hand. Two of the ma.s.seurs went in to stop the fight but to no avail. They even got shoved aside while trying to help.
Xi Xinyi was held on the floor and being beaten up. One of the women even sat on her and started slapping her.
When Xi Xiaye saw all the actions and reactions, what remained in her eyes was only despair. She pushed into the crowd to make herself a path through the throng. Then, she grabbed the woman sitting on Xi Xinyi and shoved her off.
“Stop it! What do you think you’re doing?!” Xi Xiaye shouted at the top of her lungs while she dragged Xi Xinyi behind her for protection.
Xi Xiaye’s actions were followed by Su Nan running out of their room at maximum speed. When she took a look at Xi Xinyi, all she could see were bruises all over her face. She even saw blood oozing out from a corner of her lips, so she bent down and helped her up.
“Oh, another busybody, huh?” The two women stared at Xi Xiaye with sour expressions.
“I would advise restraint from this point onward. Also, here’s a reminder to you about where we are. Is this somewhere you can just randomly start fights?” Xi Xiaye stated the obvious while returning those stares with a cold glare at the same time.
“She b.u.mped into me and ruined my contact lens which costs a few hundred thousand! Can she afford them? And she dares to disrespect us after taking up our VIP room! Judging from her look, a beating is considered merciful compared to asking her to pay me back! Now, beat it! I wouldn’t care less about beating you up too.”
“You’d better watch that tone of yours. This isn’t your house!” Su Nan a.s.serted while trying her best to manage her temper as she would have blacked out if she were to lose her head and escalate the situation with those arrogant women.
“Why waste your time trash-talking with these people? They’re clearly on the same team. We’ve reserved the VIP suite in the first place, so who are they to say c.r.a.p about that? Just beat all their sorry b.u.t.ts!”
“How dare you?!” Xi Xiaye did not even have the time to react to anything. She just got a whiff of strong alcohol before she felt an intense pain in her shoulder.
Su Nan saw the whole process, and she lost it this time. Letting Xi Xinyi go, she rushed into the scene and pulled Xi Xiaye behind her. Meanwhile, she pulled the hair of the woman who had a.s.saulted Xi Xiaye with one hand and swiftly slapped her in the face with the other twice.
“Look at that stance! And look at that arrogance!”
“Ugh! Ah Meng, call Brother Hui to summon his men here immediately. We’ll teach them a lesson!”
The situation had escalated into chaos, and the woman managed to make the call. As a result, seven to eight men gushed into the building within three minutes. Even the employees of the spa center could not do anything to stop them!
Their vicious looks were so intimidating that even Xi Xiaye felt a sense of uneasiness.
When Mu Yuchen’s mobile rang, he was drinking the freshest tea at Zhou Zimo’s place, and Xiao Cheng was there with him too. As soon as he saw the name which appeared on the screen, he picked it up immediately.
“Hey, how’s everything? Do you want to come over?” His deep voice cut through the call.
However, the first answer that he got from the other side was a wave of random noises.
After that, Xi Xiaye’s anxious voice came through, “You need to come over now. I’m in a bit of a pickle here. We’re surrounded by a few gangsters, and the police are already on their way. You can go to the police station directly.”
Xi Xiaye hung up the phone after saying that.
Immediately after receiving this information, the radiance and confidence in Mu Yuchen’s eyes disappeared instantly.
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Zimo asked out of concern while making tea. He could tell that something was not right from his expression.
Mu Yuchen placed his teacup down, carried Xiao Cheng who was playing just beside him with his other hand and stormed out of the room. He took the largest strides he was capable of taking.
“I’ll skip the meal. Xiaye ran into some trouble and I need to leave now. Let’s meet some other day.” Just as he finished speaking, Mu Yuchen had disappeared from the doorway.
Zhou Zimo was left there with a frown. He thought about it for a second and could not convince himself to not think about the situation, so he decided to tag along…
At the police station, Su Nan and Xi Xinyi were in interrogation rooms while Xi Xiaye was standing in the hallway waiting. Concern could be read all over her face.
She was not hurt because Su Nan had stood in front of her when the two maniacs started their a.s.sault. After the gangsters arrived, all her bodyguards were there to stop them from getting near her. Compared to her, Su Nan and Xi Xinyi looked awful as both of them had bruises all over and were still being interrogated.
