Gu Qingxin’s beauty was not like ordinary girls. She did not need makeup or accessories. Her beauty was natural, her elegance was innate, and she possessed a cool and refreshing aura.

“Why are you guys taking pity on her? Gu Qingxin does not need you guys to do that. The last thing she lacks is people who would do that for her.” Yang Yayan, who had just spoken, directed her gaze to Gu Qingxin and was obviously gloating in her misfortune.

“Tell us, what are your rates for one night? We’ll book you for the rest of tonight.” The men started to speak brazenly as despicable thoughts formed in their heads. They used to think of her as an elegant swan, only to find out now that she was such a lowly person. Since anyone could have her, why not them?

“You guys got it all wrong. I’m just here to sell alcohol. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving first,” Gu Qingxin said as she stared expressionlessly at the crowd before her. Her clear, dark eyes were very cold.

Gu Qingxin could tell that they had deliberately come to humiliate her. She turned around to leave, but a persistent man blocked her way. “You’re already putting yourself out there for sale, so why are you acting so feisty? Just name your price. I’ll pay you ten times of that,” he said.

Gu Qingxin gripped the tray in her hands tightly. Her voice grew colder, and her eyes grew sterner as she commanded, “Get out of my way.”

“Do you really think that you are still the beloved lady of the Gu family? I think you’re just a b*stard. Why else would a legitimate daughter of the Gu family come to a place like that to do such dirty work? You should listen to me obediently instead of asking for punishment!”

The man’s expression turned hideous as he did not expect Gu Qingxin to embarrass him like that in front of all his classmates by asking him to step aside.

He reached out to grab Gu Qingxin to drag her along with them. The women in the group watched amusedly. After all, was there anything more entertaining and pleasing than to see someone who used to be more brilliant than they were dragged through the mud?

All the men who had despicable thoughts about Gu Qingxin stepped up to help.

Gu Qingxin’s face blanched. She wanted to resist, but the hand that was reaching for her never touched her. A pitiful cry was heard that scared everyone around them.

There was a dagger stuck in the palm of the man who had almost grabbed Gu Qingxin. The blade had penetrated his flesh and was halfway through, and blood was flowing nonstop.

This sight frightened everyone so much they turned pale. A few initially cocky girls screamed and retreated. The expressions on the men’s faces were vastly different as well.

“You… You…” The man stared incredulously at the dagger in his palm.

Two groups of well-trained, swift bodyguards jogged over to Gu Qingxin. A man of more than 1.9 meters in height stood among the bodyguards. The top three buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing his sexy tanned chest. His tailored pants hugged his long, slender legs perfectly.

He wore a pair of purple sunglasses and held a lit cigarette between his fingers. He had a tall nose bridge and thin lips that were tightly pursed. He resembled an elegant and dangerous beast approaching his prey.

Everyone around him took a deep breath. The man’s aura was too overpowering and his physical appearance was so perfect that even top international celebrities possessed only a fraction of what he had.

The man who had just ridiculed and taunted Gu Qingxin could only watch him approach her with wide eyes. He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and embraced her while adopting a posture of absolute possessiveness and protectiveness.
