Chapter 1517: Chapter 1517: Stealing Things
Xiao Zhen was drunk at this point, holding a bottle of alcohol. When he heard his brothers mention his ex-wife, he started crying while clutching the bottle. Suddenly, those who weren’t drunk sobered up. What was going on? They were just joking; he actually got angry.
"Hey, we were just joking with you, weren’t we? You aren’t really angry, right? We didn’t mean to upset you. If you really like her, we’ll just stop bothering you. You might as well remarry, otherwise, you’d blame us for forcing you to divorce."
These brothers knew Xiao Zhen very well and laid things out clearly, and Xiao Zhen laughed heartily upon hearing this, pulling them to sit down.
Though he was drunk and unsteady, he was quite clear-headed, feeling happy at that moment with no sadness. There was even a sense of relief.
"What are you thinking? I’m not sad at all, I even feel liberated. From now on, we can eat meat and drink freely without anyone controlling me. Only a fool would care about her after she cheated on me; I’m not stupid or pathetic."
"Everyone in Changnan knows that I, Xiao Zhen, got cheated on. Isn’t it laughable that I was the last to know, and in front of everyone, it turns out my son isn’t even mine? Let’s just drink and stop talking about it."
Hearing Xiao Zhen say this, his brothers felt relieved. It seemed Xiao Zhen had come to his senses and wouldn’t be fooled by that woman. Had he not, Xiao Zhen would have gotten angry, smashed the table, and fought with his brothers.
"Alright, since you’ve figured things out, we’ll drink to our heart’s content with you today. Don’t worry, even if you get wasted, you won’t be allowed to play around anymore. You mess around, and you’re no brother of ours."
They kept drinking until they were all incredibly drunk, and the people at nearby tables dared not intervene. These guys were either rich or powerful; meddling would cause trouble.
After getting off work, Zhu Ya was planning to buy something for her daughter to eat. Her daughter had been craving barbecue since recovering from an illness, so Zhu Ya came here. After purchasing barbecue, she noticed someone familiar clutching a bottle, drinking incessantly. Looking closely, wasn’t that the Chairman of the Headquarters, Xiao Zhen?
Initially, Zhu Ya didn’t want to interfere, but she noticed a group of people milling about and starting to search the others. Instantly, Zhu Ya became alert.
The surrounding people weren’t helping at all; Zhu Ya knew she was just a woman. If she confronted them, she’d come out worse off, so she quietly made a phone call and then headed out.
"Hey, you’d better open your eyes and see clearly. That’s the Chairman of the Xiao Group. Do you understand the consequences of messing with him?"
After Zhu Ya spoke, she tightly gripped a stick she had found in the corner.
The thugs admired Zhu Ya’s looks but, daring to commit such a crime, they clearly weren’t afraid.
"Didn’t expect a little lady to step out for justice. But, this lady is indeed very pretty. However, before you meddle in our business, consider whether you have the capabilities. Since you’re sending yourself over, we won’t be polite, guys."
Seeing them act so brazenly, Zhu Ya grew fearful, hoping help would arrive quickly.
As they were about to make a move, a noise startled the thugs. They angrily picked up a bottle from the table and smashed it against Zhu Ya’s head.
Blood spurted from Zhu Ya’s head, but she kept her composure, immediately pulling out her phone to take a photo of them.
The thugs had intended to deal with Zhu Ya, but it was too late now. They had no choice but to abandon their plans and leave one by one without looking back, while Zhu Ya crouched down, feeling dizzy.
Then, a waiter approached, sighing. Just a girl, daring to confront these people — they wouldn’t.
"Are you alright?"
The waiter was just a girl, but that was evidently enough. Zhu Ya shook her head, feeling even dizzier.
"Alright, quickly get some sobering things and some cold water!"
After Zhu Ya instructed, several waiters rushed to help.
They couldn’t afford to be tangled up in this now after someone got hurt, so no one dared to dawdle.
When the waiters brought cold water, Zhu Ya instructed them to pour it on Xiao Zhen and his companions, but they dared not. Zhu Ya wiped the blood off her forehead.
Holding some ice in her mouth,
she picked up a basin and poured it over Xiao Zhen’s head, and seeing Zhu Ya struggle, the other waiters poured water over the others too, sobering them considerably.
Upon sobering up a bit, Xiao Zhen saw Zhu Ya holding a basin, and suddenly got angry. No one had ever dared to treat him like this, especially by drenching him with cold water!
"Do you have a death wish?"
Right after Xiao Zhen spoke, trying to slap her, Zhu Ya suddenly rushed towards him, forcing him to catch her,
Only to find her head full of blood, very dizzy. He wanted to curse, but was helpless, took the sobering soup from a waiter.
The waiter timidly interjected, "After you got drunk, someone tried to steal your belongings. This lady prevented it and was beaten, so don’t blame her. She just wants you to check your things to see if anything’s missing."
Hearing the waiter, Xiao Zhen patted himself down, finding everything except the car key missing.
Just a car key, nothing significant to Xiao Zhen.
After sobering up, the others realized Zhu Ya saved them and were very grateful.
