Meanwhile, An Nuonuo was at a gathering with a few members of the Hundred Flowers Club.
The gathering was in a bar.
It was the type of upscale bar where you needed to deposit at least a million to enter.
As Jiang Xuâs assets and influence continued to grow,
An Nuonuo now firmly held the central position at such gatherings.
Everyone had drunk a bit, and now they all were a bit tipsy.
Except for An Nuonuo.
She strictly adhered to the rules set by her boyfriend and fiancé when she went out.
Try not to drink if possible.
And if she had to drink, no more than two glasses.
So today she wasnât touching a drop.
âNuonuo, youâll be getting married in just over two weeks, time really flies.â
A woman with a somewhat seductive look, wearing a camisole, gently clung to An Nuonuoâs arm.
âSister Fang Chang,â An Nuonuo called out softly.
This woman was a year older than her but was reputed to be quite the player.
Once, she had ordered twelve ducks.
Yes, the kind that talk.
An Nuonuo didnât actually like her very much.
But in such a public setting, it wasnât easy for her to show displeasure.
Fang Chang had drunk quite a bit, so her peachy eyes were filled with desire.
She said to An Nuonuo with a smile, âYouâre about to get married, soon youâll be caged.â
âHow about tonight, I take you out to have some fun, letâs have a grand pre-wedding party.â
âNo need,â An Nuonuo smiled somewhat reluctantly.
âDonât be shy, itâs quite common in our circles,â Fang Chang insisted.
She, Jiang Xiao, had another hobby.
It was turning innocent, cute little boys into tough girls.
Yes.
This was similar to how some men like to turn private cars into buses, and buses into private cars.
An Nuonuo still shook her head.
It wasnât clear if it was because of the alcohol.
Fang Chang had completely forgotten how terrifying An Nuonuoâs fiancé could be.
She leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming, âNuonuo, let me tell you, you should enjoy life while you can.â
âAlthough your boyfriend is indeed great, there are plenty out there who are more handsome and powerful than him.â
âIâll introduce you to a few eighteen-year-olds.â
âAll of them have six-packs, just like adorable little puppies, so much fun.â
At this point, An Nuonuoâs expression could no longer hide her tension.
She gently pulled away, distancing herself from Fang Chang, her tone cold, âThanks for your kindness, Sister Fang Chang, but I wonât do anything to betray him.â
âOh, come on,â Fang Chang still wouldnât give up.
She kept saying, âIâm telling you, men are only honest when theyâre hung on the wall.â
âYour fiancé might have already played around with who knows how many women, you shouldnât be at a disadvantage, right?â
âEnough!â An Nuonuo stood up, visibly angry, âI wonât allow you to talk about him like that!â
An Nuonuo was usually gentle, but it depended on the situation.
Now, this woman was publicly slandering the man she loved most in her life.
She couldnât just meekly say, âplease stop,â or âhe wouldnât do that,â weak words that carried no weight.
The other members of the Hundred Flowers Club, one by one, just watched quietly, their eyes flickering, none of them spoke.
An Nuonuoâs reaction made Fang Chang feel very embarrassed.
Her face fell, âWhy the aggression, do you really need to put on such an act?â
âPeople who donât know you might think youâre some paragon of virtue.â
âLooking so pure on the surface, but who knows how many men have had their way with you behind closed doors.â
An Nuonuoâs eyes instantly reddened.
These words were incredibly hurtful to her.
Just then, a glass of ice-cold water suddenly poured down from above Fang Changâs head.
Fang Chang couldnât help but let out a sharp scream, âWho the hellâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, her voice choked up as soon as she saw the instigator.
A cup of cold water was poured over her, and Fang Chang seemed to sober up a bit.
Seeing Jiang Xu standing in front of her with a grim expression, she couldnât help but shiver.
Her anger dissipated in an instant.
âGo on,â Jiang Xu pulled up a chair and sat down.
He crossed his legs, âContinue, I want to see just how ugly the words can get from your mouth.â
âIâm sorry, I was wrong,â Fang Chang squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, âI had too much to drink, I apologize.â
Watching this woman bow deeply at a ninety-degree angle towards him.
She wondered if it was intentional or intentional.
Her shoulder strap slid down, exposing swathes of her pale skin.
Jiang Xuâs gaze didnât waver in the slightest.
A woman who likes to visit male prostitutes isnât worth more to him than a worm on the ground.
At least worms can be used for fishing.
An Nuonuo had been standing behind Jiang Xu since his arrival, silent.
She was also very angry, so she had no intention of speaking up to plead for Fang Chang.
Jiang Xu didnât speak, and Fang Chang didnât dare to stand up, maintaining her ninety-degree bow.
At the same time, she was dying of regret.
She wished she could give herself two big slaps.
How could she have spoken such words without thinking?
Jiang Xu made a call to the bodyguard waiting outside.
After about ten minutes, the bodyguard knocked on the door and walked in.
During those ten minutes, Fang Chang kept her bowing posture, her body almost trembling.
But she didnât dare straighten up at all.
Only when facing Jiang Xu could one truly feel how terrifying this man was.
The bodyguard brought two large blocks of ice.
They were the kind of ice blocks about thirty to forty centimeters long and about ten centimeters thick.
Jiang Xu finally spoke, âKneel on this ice for half an hour, and weâll call it even.â
Fang Changâs complexion changed.
Though it was summer.
Kneeling for half an hour would affect her legs.
But right now, she dared not say no.
Clenching her teeth, she knelt down.
A bone-chilling coldness overwhelmed her.
This made Fang Changâs body tremble.
Jiang Xu began timing.
An Nuonuo sighed.
She knew that when Jiang Xu was angry, nothing could calm him down.
Not daring to say a word,
she had no choice but to wake Bai Xiaoya.
She had come to the gathering with Bai Xiaoya today.
But as soon as they arrived, everyone started forcefully feeding Bai Xiaoya drinks.
So much so that not long after the gathering began, Bai Xiaoya had passed out.
Now, An Nuonuo felt there was a conspiratorial undertone to everything.
She couldnât help but glance at the other members of the Hundred Flowers Club present.
These members dodged her gaze as soon as they met it.
After Bai Xiaoya was shaken awake, An Nuonuo fed her some sobering soup and consciousness.
âHey, what happened?â Bai Xiaoya said groggily.
An Nuonuo pursed her lips, leaned in close to her ear, and quietly explained the whole situation.
After hearing everything, Bai Xiaoya immediately became completely sober.
Furious, she went over and gave Fang Chang two big slaps.
