Chapter 76: Chapter 76

Night quietly descended, and the Rolls-Royce steadily stopped at a high-end restaurant.

The dim yellow light cast a shadow on Fu Yinli’s profile, his outline like a relief sculpture, towering and handsome, exuding a hint of coldness.

Little Li followed in his footsteps into this building with a Beijing charm, but just as they crossed the threshold, the figure in front suddenly stopped.

Following his gaze, Su Lingzhi’s figure came into view.

She was wearing a spaghetti strap dress with lotus leaf edges in a lotus pink color, with curly hair draped over her left shoulder, her brows and eyes delicate and clear, her skin fair and smooth like a doll, sitting quietly on the soft stool.

"President Fu, Miss Su is over there."

No matter if he had noticed Su Lingzhi or not, it was good to remind him anyway.

However, Fu Yinli didn’t linger, he simply withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the stairs to the second floor.

Little Li watched his distant figure, a bit puzzled, but said nothing more, following respectfully.

Perhaps for him, business was important, and it wasn’t worth specifically going to greet Su Lingzhi.

At the dining table, Zhuang Xiaoxi poured a cup of tea and moved it in front of Su Lingzhi, "Are you going back after dinner?"

Su Lingzhi nodded, "I promised him yesterday."

"Without you, I’m so bored alone." Zhuang Xiaoxi propped her chin with her hands and looked at her, sighing lightly.

These past few days, she had been taking care of her, doing her makeup and styling in the style she liked, changing it up daily. Her foundation was already good, and just looking at her was pleasing to the eye.

Now that she was going back, it was a bit less fun.

Su Lingzhi spoke up, "You can come to Jing Garden to play with me too."

Zhuang Xiaoxi pouted, "Forget it, I have a big opinion on your partner, I won’t go and make trouble for myself."

Zhuang Xiaoxi was about to speak when a shadow blocked the light. She recognized who it was and her face immediately darkened, "Yu..."

She quickly stopped speaking, frowning at him.

Perhaps because too much time had passed or because of their past relationship, she couldn’t bring herself to curse, leaving only a cold indifference.

Shen Yubai looked at the two of them complexly, his appearance no longer youthful, but rather bearing some signs of weariness.

In a moment of stagnation, Shen Yubai looked at Zhuang Xiaoxi and said to her, "I want to talk to Lingzhi alone."

Zhuang Xiaoxi said coldly, "With your character, do you think I would possibly let you be alone with Zhizhi? Besides, is there anything you can say that I can’t hear?" Latest content publıshed on NovєlFіre.net

Su Lingzhi followed up, "Say whatever it is right here."

Seeing how guarded they were, Shen Yubai felt somewhat disheartened, but he couldn’t blame them. He was the one who made the mistake, causing the situation as it was, it was his own fault.

He did not find a seat to sit down, but looked at Su Lingzhi, his cold eyes full of pity for her, "I heard you had an accident. I didn’t dare to come see you, how is your eyesight now, can you see?"

"I can’t see." The voice was particularly cold, with no emotion.

The atmosphere among the three was undoubtedly eerie, and it felt off no matter who spoke.

As it was, it would be better not to see each other, and live as strangers.

Yet, Shen Yubai was unwilling to give up, "About what happened that night, I’m very sorry. If I had another chance, I would never have harbored such thoughts about you again."

Su Lingzhi’s expression didn’t change, "What’s done is done, I don’t believe you anymore. Whether you are in my life or not makes no difference at all, and we have long ceased to be friends. Whether you apologize or regret, it’s useless to me, I’m not as forgiving as you think."

Clearly, he had known this outcome for a long time, but he still took that step to try to make amends, yet she gave not a single chance, and her words were so final.

He dejectedly withdrew his gaze, "It seems we can never go back to what we were."

Zhuang Xiaoxi couldn’t stand it, "If you are truly remorseful, then don’t show up in front of us again, at least give us some dignity for the sake of our past friendship."

"Okay." Shen Yubai agreed without any hesitation, "If that’s what you wish, I’ll do it."

Zhuang Xiaoxi spoke icily, "Then please leave."

Shen Yubai’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his fists involuntarily clenched. He took one last look at them, turned, and left, feeling lost.

Once he left, the waiter served the dishes to them.

Zhuang Xiaoxi held her hand tightly, discovering that her hand was very cold. She said to the waiter, "Can you raise the temperature of the air conditioning on our side?"

When the temperature rose, Zhuang Xiaoxi released her, "Don’t think too much, Shen Yubai owes us that much, I’m already being kind by not cursing him out."

"It’s good that things are clarified, now there won’t be any bonds."

Saying this, Zhuang Xiaoxi handed her a pair of chopsticks and added food to her bowl.

While the two were eating in peace, an old man in a suit with a bushy beard came over, placing a bottle of baijiu on the table, staring fixedly at Su Lingzhi, "Sister, will you have a drink with me?"

Su Lingzhi looked at him, seeing a bulky shadow in her vision. Although she couldn’t see his facial features, she could sense that he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

She quietly put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "I don’t drink."

The man with the bushy beard lingered on her lively, charming eyes, smiling, "If you can’t drink, I’ll teach you."

Seeing his lascivious expression, Zhuang Xiaoxi hurriedly pulled Su Lingzhi over and led her to leave by another route.

His accomplices came over, blocking their path.

The arrogance and domineering aura was overwhelming, and Zhuang Xiaoxi’s heart leapt to her throat, "What do you want to do in public?"

The man with the bushy beard laughed, "Just want to have a drink with you, why be so uptight?"

"We don’t drink, if you keep blocking us, I’ll call the police."

The man with the bushy beard sneered, "What’s the police compared to me? I fear no one, not even the King of Heaven."

With the man with the bushy beard laughing loudly, his companions also began to laugh.

Zhuang Xiaoxi gripped Su Lingzhi’s hand tighter, her mind racing, she immediately picked up her phone to call the police.

However, before she could unlock the phone, it was snatched away from her.

Zhuang Xiaoxi looked at them fearfully, "Don’t go too far."

Someone threatened, "Do you know who he is? Even the juniors of the Shao Family have to call him uncle. You’d better recognize your luck now that our lord takes a liking to you."

Zhuang Xiaoxi didn’t back down, "Do you know who she is? Her man is the one in charge of the Fu Family. If you dare touch a hair on her, Fu Yinli won’t let you off."

The man with the bushy beard looked scornful, seemingly not believing her words, mocking, "Would a powerful family head look favorably on a blind person? Who would believe that?"

Then, the two of them were forcefully separated by the group, causing quite a commotion.
