The cooperation with the Fang family was a major project for any company. Losing it was akin to being wiped out!
The more they thought about it, the more they feared. They lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground!
Fortunately, Elder Fang only canceled the cooperation with the Cheng and Liu families, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This banquet allowed many influential families to get to know Er Zhu. Every day after the banquet, Er Zhu was busy with social engagements. Li Mei was happy but also found it very boring.
In the blink of an eye, they had been in Hua Bei City for half a month. Er Zhu was still busy every day, while Cheng Liang's condition gradually improved.
The Cheng and Liu families were on the verge of bankruptcy after losing the Fang family's cooperation. Fortunately, with the financial support of the Qin family, they managed to maintain their current status.
This made the two of them even more loyal to Qin Chu!
In the spacious living room, despite being surrounded by beautiful women, Li Mei's graceful figure kept appearing in Qin Chu's mind.
"You can all leave now." Qin Chu took a sip of red wine and waved his hand irritably. The beautiful women reluctantly withdrew.
"Young Master Qin, are you still thinking about Miss Li? But I heard that Miss Li is a widow!"
"That's right, it's said that after her husband died, she's been living with that Wang Er Zhu. Perhaps they're already together."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Cheng Liang quickly took out the information he had gathered and added.
"So what? Doesn't that kind of woman have more charm?"
Qin Chu smiled slightly. He didn't take these matters to heart. He had only one goal:
Li Mei, he was determined to have her!
"Yes, yes, yes, but that Wang Er Zhu is no simple character. If he finds out, it won't be good."
The two nodded in agreement, but thinking of Er Zhu always protecting Li Mei, they felt deflated like deflated balloons, completely losing confidence.
They had ways to send beautiful women to Young Master Qin's bed, but Li Mei was an exception for them!
Even Young Master Qin had to bow to that Wang Er Zhu, let alone them!
"It's fine, you guys just go ahead. That Wang Er Zhu is out entertaining every day!"
Qin Chu curled his lips into a smile, and as he spoke, he threw the photos his bodyguard had taken onto the table.
Seeing these photos, the two of them looked at Qin Chu with admiration and gave him a thumbs-up. Qin Chu, however, merely smiled, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
He, Qin Chu, had never failed to get anything he wanted, let alone when his opponent was just a country bumpkin!
His previous deference was purely out of consideration for Elder Fang and that secret recipe. Once his cooperation was successful, that Wang Er Zhu would be like fish on a chopping board, at his mercy!
On this side, Cheng Liang and Young Master Liu were preparing to act. On the other side, Li Mei had finished her bath and was preparing to sleep.
There was only her in such a large villa. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have come here with Er Zhu!
Recalling everything from the past, Li Mei drifted off to sleep. In her dream, she heard the sound of the door opening. She thought it was Er Zhu, but the aura felt increasingly unfamiliar!
"What do you think you're doing? I'm telling you, Er Zhu is someone you can't afford to mess with!"
Opening her eyes, Li Mei saw Cheng Liang and Young Master Liu standing by her bed. Their hands slowly reached out to her. Young Master Liu, in particular, was holding a handkerchief!
Anyone with a brain would know that the handkerchief must have been drugged, and they intended to send Li Mei to Qin Chu's bed!
Thinking of that Qin Chu with his wicked charm, Li Mei felt terrified. But with Er Zhu not here, what could she do but shout?
"Yes, we can't afford to mess with him, but he's not home right now!"
"You slut, you better behave. If Young Master Qin didn't want you, I would have taken care of you on the spot long ago!"
As soon as Cheng Liang finished speaking, Young Master Liu roared fiercely.
Someone had posted the video from the last banquet online, causing him to be ridiculed by many second-generation rich kids. All of this was because of this woman!
"No, Er Zhu is home! He's home!"
Hearing this, Li Mei knew they had come prepared. She retreated rapidly while vehemently denying it.
Fear, anger, helplessness, terror...
Too many emotions intertwined, leaving Li Mei's mind blank!
"Heh, keep shouting. Tonight, you will definitely belong to Young Master Qin. No one will come to save you!"
The two sneered and walked towards Li Mei, the handkerchief getting closer and closer to her!
"No!"
*Boom!*
Li Mei shook her head and shouted loudly. Just as she thought she was about to be captured, Young Master Liu suddenly collapsed!
Li Mei looked up and tears involuntarily streamed down her face when she saw Er Zhu standing beside her.
"You..." Cheng Liang was stunned. Just as he was about to make a move, his mind went blank when he saw Er Zhu!
*Bang!*
Without a word, Er Zhu punched the two of them unconscious. Seeing their bloodied faces, Li Mei hugged Er Zhu tightly and wept.
"Wuwu, Er Zhu, I was scared!"
Li Mei clung to Er Zhu, trembling all over as she recalled the scene.
She couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if Er Zhu hadn't returned. If that had been the case, how could she have faced Er Zhu in the future!
Li Mei couldn't bear to think about it. She shook her head desperately, trying to shake off the recent memories, but they played over and over in her mind.
"Sister Mei, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone."
Er Zhu gently patted Li Mei's back, a hint of heartache and regret in his eyes.
He should have known that Qin Chu wouldn't let things go. If the negotiations hadn't gone so smoothly today, that guy would have truly succeeded!
Thinking of Qin Chu, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He already had a plan in mind!
Developing a business didn't necessarily mean starting from scratch; one could also convert others' assets into one's own!
For example, the Qin family!
"Yes, it's all your fault! So you can't leave me alone anymore, understand?"
Smelling Er Zhu's familiar scent, Li Mei's heart calmed down. She wiped away her tears and pretended to be angry as she questioned him.
Er Zhu didn't speak, he just dotingly stroked her head. Li Mei instantly broke into a smile, and the tense atmosphere in the room vanished.
"Sister Mei, I'll ask Lin Mo to protect you. You'll be bored if you come with me on business."
After Li Mei's emotions had completely calmed down, Er Zhu shared his thoughts. Although Li Mei was reluctant, she nodded.
After pacifying Li Mei and arranging for bodyguards to protect her, Er Zhu then picked up Young Master Liu and Cheng Liang and headed towards the Qin family.
This time, it wouldn't be a simple apology!
He would make Qin Chu pay and remember this night forever!
