Chapter 372 - You Owe Me Another Favor

Chapter 372 You Owe Me Another FavorLi Tianci had already filled the cup in front of Xia Yu and faintly persuaded. “Would you like to drink some water first? I don’t think you look good.”

Xia Yu’s patience was about to be worn out by him. He got her into this shitty temple which was from nowhere. They took a lot of effort to get her here. But he just asked her to accompany him to eat and drink tea while talking.

Xia Yu did not take the cup but asked coldly, “Mr. Li is probably very busy, and I am busy as well. So, these unnecessary courtesies should be exempted. Everyone saves some time. You must have some requirements to talk about with me since you have taken such great pains. Or did I offend you? Let’s not mince matters. What do you want on earth?”

Xia Yu simply clarified everything. But she did not manage to predict that Li Tianci only smiled helplessly. He took the kettle and sat down on the old-fashioned wooden armchair again. He stared at Xia Yu so lazily. Xia Yu was inexplicably flustered by his stare.

“Mr. Li?”

Li Tianci only smiled again coldly. He rubbed the armrest of the old-fashioned wooden armchair with his palm and slowly said, “We just talked about it, didn’t we? My brothers were so stupid to offend you, so now I am apologizing to you.”

“There’s no need. If Mr. Li has nothing else, I shall go first.”

“Must you go against me, Miss Xia?”

“What do you mean?”

The man in front of her lowered his head and tidied the Buddhist beads hanging around his chest.

“Nothing. I just want you to have a meal with me. But you don’t want to enjoy the meal with me, and you even refused to have a glass of water.”

Xia Yu felt that a chill took root from the soles of his feet which gradually entangled her like a vine. It became tighter and tighter so that Xia Yu felt almost suffocated. She braced herself against the table, lowering his head and gasping constantly. She carelessly knocked over the glass of water at hand. There was still some temperature in the water, all of which was poured on her clothes all at once…

There was no paper towel on the table. Li Tianci simply came over and pulled the hem of his scorpion to help her wipe the water off. The tea was already sliding down her clothes. Li Tianci wiped it off quite carefully.

“See? Am I so horrible?” He said while wiping. He did not notice that the hem of his scorpion had been picked up a lot by him.

Xia Yu saw his round belly, and a small piece of tattooing on his belly appeared in front of her as the clothes were picked up. It was the claw of a dragon which was stretching its sharp fingers, looking terribly ruthless and ferocious

Li Tianci had already wiped the water stains off her clothes, but she stood still stiffly, staring at the small piece of tattooing which was exposed outside.

Dragon claws were hidden under the soft blouse, and the Buddhist beads hung around his chest. A jade, on which a statue of Guanyin was carved, was hanging underneath. It just pressed on the dragon claws.

Xia Yu only felt that a chill came out of the soles of his feet, and fear came to her like a huge wave.

Xia Yu suddenly got the courage from nowhere and turned around to run outside. Li Tianci was tidying his own clothes after wiping the clothes for her. A dark figure flickered before his eyes, and he was actually stunned for a few seconds. Xia Yu had already run to the door, and she took a lot of effort to push the thick wooden door open in front of her. Then there was sunshine everywhere as well as birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers. She couldn’t help gasping. When she lifted her foot and was about to cross the threshold, a tall and thin figure appeared outside the door.

Xia Yu’s heart suddenly gave out a jerk.

Xia Yu’s hair was seized by Li Tianci from behind, and she was dragged into the house. The heavy wooden door was kicked by him, and it was closed gradually in front of Xia Yu. It was warm and sunny with birds and flowers outside the yard. There were still the cold eyes of the man standing outside the door.

Li Tianci slammed her back against the edge of the table heavily. The dishes on the table were smashed into the ground with cracks.

Xia Yu felt a harsh pain on her left foot and was almost unable to stand steadily. Fortunately, Li Tianci stepped forward to grab the front part of her clothes so that she did not fall down directly.

The birds outside the window were not twittering anymore, and the sunshine seemed to have hidden in the clouds. The room was silent deadly.

Li Tianci, glaring at her with bloody red eyes, seized her clothes and went up to slap her in the face twice.

“Do you fucking want to run? Run! Just run again!” He dragged Xia Yu to another side while swearing. Xia Yu’s left foot could not move, so she was almost dragged by him to move

Li Tianci lifted his leg and kicked her in the knee heavily. She suddenly lost his balance and then fell to the soft bed aside all at once.

“Bitch ! How dare you want to run away! Look around! Do you fucking want to run again? Run! Just run again!” Li Tianci loosened his belt around his waist and whipped Xia Yu more and more heavily and harshly with it like crazy.

Xia Yu held her own arms to hide at first but could only curl up at the corner of the soft bed at last as she could not manage to shun away at all.

Li Tianci whipped her for a while and sat down beside Xia Yu as he might be tired. He dragged Xia Yu out of the corner. The durable leather belt was still in his hand and was bent into a circle. He then lifted the chin of Xia Yu with the belt.

Xia Yu had her eyes opened drily and was still breathing. But Li Tianci squinted his eyes and laughed. “You are so tough, aren’t you? You just keep silent, huh? You are indeed Young Master Yan’s girl.”

“Shen Yan will not let you go.” Xia Yu said with hatred.

“I know. But since you are here, it is not necessarily who will have the final say.” Li Tianci smiled again. “Do you think how much trouble you have brought me?”

“You deserve it.” As a low and magnetic voice drifted past, Li Wen’s tall and lazy figure appeared in the Buddhist temple.

Li Tianci was stunned at first and then greeted him with a smile. “It turns out to be Young Master Li.”

Li Wen went up and directly slapped on him. “Who do you think it is?”

“Nothing, nothing!” Li Tianci continued to smile apologetically, wondering in his heart why the playboy would come over.

He was a troublemaker. Li Tianci was in a sweat with anxiety.

“Do you feel hot?” Li Wen looked at him half smiling. “Look at you! A rogue should imitate others to practice abstinence from meat and say prayers.”

“No, no!” Li Tianci rushed to wipe off the sweat on his head with his clothes. But new sweat came out again so quickly that he couldn’t wipe it out.

“No what?” Li Wen dragged the double-breasted overcoat on the body of Li Tianci with his fingertips, which had been tore up by Li Tianci. Then he gave some tut out of his mouth. “You are exactly a wolf in sheep’s clothing, aren’t you?”

“Young Master Li, you must be joking. I do not dare to blaspheme.” Muscles on Li Tianci’s face were about to be stiff out of laughter.

“Hey, there are still things that you dare not do. I really have increased my knowledge today.” Li Wen slapped the face of Li Tianci with his hand.

“No, no…” Li Tianci stepped back constantly.

Li Wen smiled with contempt and looked up at Xia Yu, only to find that she had wounds on her arms, neck, face and even every single part of her skin exposed outside. She looked terribly uncollected and unspeakably awkward.

Li Wen felt that his heart was throbbing with pain. He hurried up to Xia Yu and carried her down from the soft bed. “You owe me another favor. Get it? Remember to pay me off with yourself.”

Xia Yu didn’t have time to hate Li Wen at this time. She put his arms around his neck and let him carry her down from the bed. When her feet just landed on the floor, she couldn’t wait to say, “Mobile phone! My mobile phone!”

“What?” Li Wen did not understand her when hearing her words.

“My mobile phone was taken away by them. Give me your phone.” Xia Yu put her hand into Li Wen’s pocket and took out his phone.

“What do you want to do with a phone?”

“Call Shen Yan. He will be anxious if he can’t find me.” While speaking, Xia Yu handed over the phone to Li Wen. “Password! Hurry up!”

Li Tianci carried her off here only to blackmail Shen Yan with her and make him compromise to let Zeng Ziqiang enter Shen Group. She should not let their scheme succeed.

“Xia Yu, it is me who saved you. You didn’t even say thank you to me but hurry to tell Shen Yan that you are safe. Is it right?” Li Wen was badly broken-hearted.

“I’m not joking, Young Master Li. It’s really urgent.” Xia Yu’s eyes were full of pleading.

Li Wen was very angry. But seeing Xia Yu’s pleading eyes, his heart was softened spontaneously, and he unconsciously made a phone call to Shen Yan.

At this time, Shen Yan was sitting in the conference room of the Headquarters, and Zeng Ziqiang sat opposite him. These two people just looked at each other, and no one meant to flinch. Time seemed to be still in their eyes.

There were twenty or thirty people in the conference room, but even the sound of breathing could be heard.

A rush of phone ringing broke the silence of the conference room, and Shen Yan took out the phone. “Xiang Tang, what’s wrong?”

“The man of President Zeng asked me to tell you that they had invited Xia Yu to dinner. So, you don’t have to worry about her.” Xiao Tang whimpered. There must be something wrong as she would not say in this way if Xia Yu was really invited to dinner by someone.

But it was a person of Zeng Ziqiang, and she did not dare to speculate too much. So, she conveyed the original words to Shen Yan and let him make a decision.

“What? What did you say?” Shen Yan’s face turned pale immediately, and he suddenly stood up.

“Shen Yan, what happened?” Yang Weiye, noticing that Shen Yan’s complexion was wrong, asked on the side.

Everyone else looked at him with curiosity on the face. Only Zeng Ziqiang looked very calm and even easy. Today, he just wanted to see whether the second Mister of Shen Family wanted his girl or his cause on earth.

Shen Yan, putting away the mobile phone and slapping on the table with his two hands, glared at Zeng Ziqiang. “Zeng Ziqiang, if you dare to hurt a finger of Xia Yu, I will never let you go.”

Xia Yu? Old Madame’s eyebrows were raised, and she hurriedly asked, “What happened on earth? What happened to Xia Yu?”

“Just ask this scumbag!” Shen Yan pointed to Zeng Ziqiang and said.

“Shen Yan, after all, I’m the future father-in-law of your old brother as well as your elder. Be polite when you are speaking!” Zeng Ziqiang said slowly and calmly, “You just said repeatedly that I should be asked. But in fact, I’m also curious about what happened on earth.”

“Zeng Ziqiang, don’t pretend not to know in front of me. You are threatening me, right? Well, today I just put my words here. I will see who has the courage to vote for you.” His beautiful foxy eyes became so sharp that they were daunting and chilling.

Shen Yan was just like Shura who was still living, and even the heart of Shen Mo on the side could not help jolting out of shock.

Zeng Ziqiang’s eyes couldn’t help jumping fiercely a few times. “Shen Yan, what do you mean?”

“Don’t you understand what I mean? Shen Group does not welcome you.” Shen Yan looked at him coldly and said with no politeness.

This was too direct, and the other directors all bent their heads down in succession. What did Zeng Ziqiang do on earth? He just made Shen Yan so infuriated.

“Well, I just understand the words of the second Mister of Shen Family.” Zeng Ziqiang stood up and looked at Old Madame. “I was also invited by Old Madame. I came over for the sake of my future son-in-law. Since the second Mister does not welcome me, I am leaving now.”

Zeng Ziqiang snorted and walked out.

“Stop! What do you think Shen Family is? My home is not a place where you can go and come as you want.” The voice of Shen Yan sounded behind Zeng Ziqiang.

Zeng Ziqiang sneered and stood still.

Zeng Ziqiang thought how mindful and foresighted Shen Yan was. In the end, he still felt distressed for his little bride

“Are there still some words that the second Minister wants to say?” Zeng Ziqiang’s tone was very arrogant.

“Zeng Ziqiang, you just kidnapped my girlfriend. And now, do you still want to go? How dare you are so arrogant and do this!” Shen Yan sneered. “Not only can you not go away today, but also your family will not be let off if my girlfriend gets any hurt.”

“Are you threatening me, the second Minister?” Zeng Ziqiang flew into a rage since he did not expect that a man who was wet behind the ears dared to act so presumptuously in front of him.
