Chapter 185: Chapter 186: Trouble_1
Chapter 185 -186: Trouble_1
Had her plot not been thwarted yet, she wouldn’t let this woman off so easily!
“Forget it, I don’t want to bother with a newbie!”
The waitstaff took one look at the group and knew they’d be a difficult bunch to deal with. Firstly, their vibes were mismatched, and secondly, there was a constant tension in the air, as though a fight could break out at any moment.
“Xiaren, let me toast to you first.” Bai Xinran raised her glass, grinning.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t say a word. She raised her own glass, lightly clinked it with Bai Xinran’s, and drained her cup in one gulp. Her ease and grace calmed Bai Xinran, who had been a bit uneasy.
Liao Ling noticed that Bai Xinran seemed to be intentionally trying to get Xiaren drunk tonight. She didn’t miss a beat, serving every type of alcohol – spirits, foreign liquors, red wines. He wanted to intervene, but seeing the look Qiao Xiaren gave him, he knew she was prepared for this and relaxed.
After unknown rounds of drinks, a misty haze began to settle in Xiaren’s obsidian eyes, glimmering with intoxication. She seemed somewhat drunk. “Xiaren, are you okay? If you’re not feeling well, let me accompany you to the neighboring room to rest.” Bai Xinran reached out to steady her.
“No need.” Qiao Xiaren brushed off her hand. Her exquisite face had a blush from the alcohol, “I need to use the restroom first.”
Bai Xinran didn’t stop her and watched as Qiao Xiaren stumbled off to the restroom.
Once she was in the hallway, the drunken fog in her eyes disappeared. She walked to the restroom as if nothing had happened. They probably didn’t know that she had a notorious reputation in her previous life in the entertainment circle: “the bottomless alcohol tank”.
Being the top goddess in the circle naturally attracted lots of “well-intentioned” folks. However, if they thought they could take advantage of her by getting her drunk, they were sorely mistaken.
By the time she returned, the room was empty. As soon as she walked in, a group of men surrounded her.
“The bill is 38,000, miss, do you want to pay with a credit card or cash? That group of people said you were picking up the tab before they left. You know, we can’t let this slide, especially when your banquet had some pretty expensive liquor. Don’t you agree?” an arrogant-looking man stepped forward, his expression foreboding.
Qiao Xiaren’s expression was still indifferent. She chuckled softly, so it was just this little trick they were playing.
“I’m sorry, but as a guest, paying the bills should be the responsibility of the host, don’t you think so, boss?” Qiao Xiaren wasn’t intimidated in the slightest.
“So, miss, you mean to say you’re not going to pay? That’s not acceptable. You should’ve said something if you didn’t have money. Your pretty face is still worth something. Don’t blame us if we’re harsh. Let’s see our might!”
“Oh, really? Want to test that out?”
Qiao Xiaren took a few steps back, rubbed her fists. The men didn’t take her seriously. When one of them swung at her neck, she simply twisted her wrist. The sound of a bone breaking echoed through the air, causing everyone to shudder.
With a deft turn, Xiaren delivered a potent kick to the assailant’s stomach. The only sound in the room was the collision of her fist against flesh.
No one had expected that this seemingly delicate maiden would be such a formidable opponent. Just as they were growing frustrated and anxious, a shrill scream echoed through the air.
“Something’s happened over by Shi Ruo!”
At the sound of the scream, Qiao Xiaren reacted immediately and rushed out of the room. The men struggling to stand from the floor quickly followed.
At the deep lake connected to the restaurant, a figure was struggling in the water. On the shore, another person stood still, clearly terrified and trembling.
