Chapter 1107: Chapter 1111: Such a Hypocrite

After exchanging a few words, the conversation shifted to her annoying relatives.

Han Zuo asked Yian Jingxue, “After we left yesterday, they didn’t give you any trouble, did they?”

“No,” Yian Jingxue shook her head, “Brother Zuo, don’t worry. I merely avoided confronting them out of respect for my grandfather. But if they cross my bottom line, they are no match for me. I won’t suffer any losses.”

Han Zuo nodded, “That’s good, call us… cough… call us if anything happens!”

He wanted to say “call me if anything happens,” but considering the relationship between Yian Jingxue and Ye Xingbei, he changed it to “us” at the last moment.

Given the relationship between Yian Jingxue and Ye Xingbei, if Yian Jingxue were to face any issues, Ye Xingbei would definitely be the first person she’d contact… unless one day, his relationship with Yian Jingxue became closer than hers with Ye Xingbei.

But he wasn’t ready for that yet.

After coming back from the Yian Family, he had considered whether to accept Yian Jingxue’s feelings for him.

But every time he was about to decide, Qin Wanyue’s face would pop into his mind.

He was certain, he was not still harboring feelings for Qin Wanyue.

Yet, he couldn’t understand why Qin Wanyue’s face kept appearing in his mind whenever he contemplated accepting Yian Jingxue’s feelings.

Because of Qin Wanyue’s continual interference in his thoughts, he still hadn’t figured out whether he should accept Yian Jingxue.

While he was unsure about his feelings for Yian Jingxue, accepting her affection would be unfair to her.

He hesitated.

Yet, undeniably, he wasn’t opposed to dating Yian Jingxue.

Including today, he had dined with Yian Jingxue three times.

Each time, he was very happy.

He thought, although he hadn’t fallen for Yian Jingxue at first sight.

Besides love at first sight, love could also develop over time.

Maybe after a few more interactions, he might start to feel something for her.

The four of them had a great time talking, and time passed quickly.

Just before nine o’clock, the four finished their dinner and got up to leave the private room.

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei walked ahead.

Han Zuo and Yian Jingxue followed behind.

The four of them were laughing and chatting.

Suddenly, not far ahead, a door of another private room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman dressed as a restaurant waitress was shoved out.

The woman staggered back a few steps and fell hard on the floor.

A man quickly came out, bent down to grab the woman’s collar, pulled her up from the ground, and glared at her fiercely, “I told you to have a couple of drinks with me, that’s giving you face, and you dare to refuse?”

The man became angrier as he spoke, and slapped the woman across her face.

The woman pushed him and cried out, “Let me go! Let me go! I’m just a waitress, I don’t accompany drinks, let me go!”

“I’m not asking you to do it for free, I’m paying you!” The man pulled out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into the woman’s collar, “Just do as I say, I won’t shortchange you, and if you dare disobey…”

The man chuckled menacingly, lightly patted the woman’s face a few times, “I guarantee you won’t be able to carry on working here, believe it or not?”

The man, with a lewd smile, grabbed the woman’s collar and dragged her back toward the private room.

Ye Xingbei watched, filled with righteous indignation, and stepped forward to intervene but was held back by Gu Junzhu.

Ye Xingbei turned back, looking at him questioningly.
