Cruel Romance Chapter 4.2

“Zuo…Zuo Er Ye?” Mr Zhang was so rattled that he stuttered. He was just teaching her a lesson, how could this possibly affect this big shot? Even if one has never eaten pork, one has surely seen it before, with regards to Zuo Zhen, he might not have interacted with him but he had heard a lot about Qing Gang. This was someone he could not afford to offend.

He loosened his hands, and Jin Xiu immediately slipped towards the ground. Zuo Zhen held on to her, “Are you alright, Jin Xiu?” Her hair was in a mess, her face splashed with liquor and a red hand mark imprinted on her face, coughing as her tears mixed with snot, trying her best to catch her breath.

Zuo Zhen’s teeth were clenched.

“This… I wouldn’t dare.” Mr Zhang knew that things were amiss, “Since Er Ye has already spoken, I wouldn’t dare say no. Just let this matter go, hehe, it’s alright.”

“Oh? It looks like I’ve arrived at the wrong time and spoilt your mood.” Zuo Zhen ordered,”Ah Hao, take Jin Xiu to the side to rest.”

Mr Zhang bowed as though he was about to exit but was stopped by Zuo Zhen, “Don’t leave in a hurry, that bottle of liquor just now, let me drink on behalf of Jin Xiu, to compensate you.”

Mr Zhang was so shocked that his face turned white, “Please don’t, Er Ye, I was just kidding around, please don’t take it for real….”

A cup of liquor splashed on his eyes, breaking his sentence. Zuo Zhen leisurely held the liquor bottle, stopping in front of him, “I wouldn’t take it for real. I was just teaching you, Bai Le Men isn’t a place where anyone can simply throw their weight around.”

Mr Zhang broke out in cold sweat.

He knew that today, it would not be easy to walk out from this day. Who has heard of Zuo Zhen being lenient when it came to “educating” others? Perhaps he was really unlucky today, he messed with the wrong person. But he had never heard of any relationship between Zuo Zhen and any lady at Bai Le Men!

Zuo Zhen spun the bottle of liquor in his hand, and the liqour splashed all over.

“I’m not going to make things difficult for you, as long as you lick clean all this liquor and take off your pants, you may leave.” Zuo Zhen rubbed the middle of his eyebrows, smiling at him, “But you must lick it all clean, and not leave even a drop behind.”

“This, this….” Mr Zhang even had the thought of getting on his eyes, Zuo Zhen was out to get him, just then, even he were to get down on his knees to lick the liquor, it was impossible to lick up every single drop. The liquor had already splashed all over. And he even had to take off his pants, after taking it off, how was he to face others, there were so many pairs of eyes staring there!

“You’re not willing?” Zuo Zhen clapped his hands, “Good, you have guts.” He reached towards his waist and before Mr Zhang could see what he did, he only heard, “Whoosh”, a short knife had landed before him! The flooring was of hard smooth marble, yet the knife pierced through easily. What quick and horrifying skills, “Since you’re unwilling, then leave behind the hand that slapped her.” Zuo Zhen said impa.s.sively. “Make your move now, you can still make it. Should I become impatient, who knows what I would ask for next.”

“Ah!” there was a commotions, everyone turned pale.

Mr Zhang’s face was the color of mud, he didn’t care about anything anymore, he threw himself to his knees, “Er Ye, I was wrong, I wouldn’t dare anymore, please spare me, I, I did not know and have offended Miss Jin Xiu, I’ll apologise to her right away! Let me off this time, I promise, there won’t be a second time!”

Zuo Zhen didn’t say a word and only glanced at Jin Xiu.

Jin Xiu was seated aside, in a mess and pathetic, still with evidence of her tears, still in shock.

Mr Zhang was not stupid either, he threw himself before Jin Xiu and begged, “Miss Jin Xiu, I deserve to die, I am not human, be magnanimous and let me off this time around!” As he spoke, he raised his arm, slapping himself furiously that even his nose bled.

Jin Xiu panicked, “Er Ye, You….let him of, this is….”

Zuo Zhen walked to her side, “This kind of person bullies the meek and fears the strong, I would like to see how long he can continue being so insolent.”

Jin Xiu held on to his sleeve, “Why stoop to the level of people like this, killing him would only dirty your knife, just chase him away and let it be.”

Zuo Zhen held on to her hand, that small hand was cold and shaking, looking at how she pleaded, he couldn’t help but give in. Jin Xiu was timid, this kind of scenes would only scare her.

“Since Jin Xiu has spoken on your behalf, I would let this matter be.” Zuo Zhen also did not want to b.l.o.o.d.y the floors of Bai Le Men, and ruin Ying Dong’s business, so he curbed his anger. “But remember I don’t care who you bully, only her, if you dare touch her again, you’re dead.”

Mr Zhang barely escaped from the jaws of death and had the c.r.a.pped scared out of him, he didn’t dare say a word and half ran and crawled out of there in a blink. Perhaps in this lifetime he could no longer take a single step into Bai Le Men.

Shi Hao pulled out the knife from the floor and returned it to Zuo Zhen with both hands. How deep it pierced into the floor was a measure of the anger that Er Ye felt, what exactly was going on? Just because Jin Xiu was humiliated? But Jin Xiu didn’t belong to Er Ye.

“When Ying Shao returns and ask about it, tell him that I took Jin Xiu with me.” Zuo Zhen ordered the speechless team leader, then turned and left.

Shi Hao tactfully turned to Jin Xiu, “Miss Rong, please.”

Jin Xiu was in a mess and could not bear to stay on longer, lowering her head, she hurriedly rushed to follow Zuo Zhen.
