Chapter 535: More than 250 Love Stories (Second Update)

Zhu Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly bit down hard on Deng Kun’s hand.

As pain forced Deng Kun to let go, Zhu Xiangxiang seized the chance to scream at the top of her lungs, “Help… Someone wants to kill me.”

Deng Kun’s fingers closed in on her throat, and he yelled angrily, “So you want to die?”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s back pressed against a pillar. Her face turned from red to pale blue, and she struggled to breathe.

In these suffocatingly desperate moments, she saw a man moving towards her, his figure illuminated against the darkness.

Like a god descended into her world.

From then on, she lost sight of any other colors in her eyes.

Ye Shuang flew in with a kick, sending Deng Kun flying. He stepped on Deng Kun and said, “Old man, daring to be imprudent in front of Master Xiao, wanting to die, aren’t you?”

Deng Kun, ignoring the intense pain in his chest, quickly begs for mercy.

Unfortunate must have come to find him, for he had encountered Master Xiao.

Zhu Xiangxiang slid down against the pillar to the ground, staring blankly at the man who was slowly approaching.

Even though her throat felt like it was burning, about to explode.

“Get lost,” Ye Shuang kicked him hard again.

Deng Kun immediately got up and ran away clumsily.

Ye Shuang walked over to Zhu Xiangxiang, who was fixated on Ran Tengxiao. He blocked her view of Ran Tengxiao and asked, “Are you okay?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head: “I… I’m fine.”

But when she opened her mouth to speak, her face turned even paler, her voice husky and pained.

When she saw Ran Tengxiao passing by and leaving without glancing at her, Zhu Xiangxiang mustered up the courage to step in front of him, successfully stopping him.

Zhu Xiangxiang dares not lift her head; she must look pretty disheveled now.

Looking at the pair of black boots in her line of sight, her heart races. She says softly, “Thank you for saving me.”

A cold, aloof voice sounds from above her, “It’s her who saved you.”

With that, the man in the black boots walks away.

Zhu Xiangxiang instinctively turns. The tall figure of the man is bathed in a soft glow from the dimly lit lamplight.

“Master Xiao,” she calls out with all her strength.

She chases after him and said, “Master Xiao, we met before in the parking lot of Yunmeng Villa. Do you remember?”

Ye Shuang frowned, looking coldly at Zhu Xiangxiang’s back.

Another woman stuck on Master Xiao, naive and vain, she had seen many such women before.

Their fate would not be any different.

Ran Tengxiao finally stopped and glanced at her.

The man’s eyes are rather apathetic, just like the winter in Jiangzhou, frost-biting cold.

Zhu Xiangxiang feels intimidated, but she still straightens up, revealing a gentle smile just right.

“Mr. Zhu Wentao’s daughter?”

Zhu Xiangxiang replied happily, “So Master Xiao remembers me! My name is Zhu Xiangxiang.”

Ran Tengxiao gave a nonchalant nod and continued walking past her.

Zhu Xiangxiang followed him, saying, “Master Xiao, thank you so much, I could have been in big trouble.”

The man didn’t stop and casually said, “This isn’t a place for a woman like you. Go home.”

Was he worried about her?

The Master Xiao who people fear even at the mention of his name, seems quite gentle. He’s not nearly as scary as the rumors make him sound.

Zhu Xiangxiang found her courage, “I came here looking for my brother. Who knew I would run into such trouble? Master Xiao, you’re my life-saver. They say that when someone saves your life, you owe them a river of gratitude in return. So, I…”

How about offering herself to him?

In the end, Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t dare to be too bold, and she quickly changed her tune, “I was thinking, how about I treat you to a meal? I know it’s nothing compared to you saving my life, but that’s all I can do right now.”

Ran Tengxiao calmly replied, “Not necessary.”

And to Ye Shuang he said, “Take her to find Zhu Shaodan, then escort them out.”

He paused for a moment, an icy tone entering his voice, “As for that man just now, cut off one of his fingers and ban him from here.”

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Zhu Xiangxiang stood there stunned, entranced by the back figure of Ran Tengxiao, she suddenly found him incredibly tall and handsome.

The words he had just spoken were so manly.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart was pounding. Any woman who was loved by such a man must be the luckiest and felt the most secured in the world.

There was a flicker of disdain in Ye Shuang’s eyes as she walked over and said, “Miss Zhu, don’t think too much. Master Xiao hates men who bully women the most. Regardless of who the woman was, if Master Xiao had met her, that man’s finger would be gone.”

Meaning, Zhu Xiangxiang shouldn’t read too much into it. Anyone in her position would have been treated the same by Master Xiao.

She was just kindly reminding her—not to harbor futile hopes. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Zhu Xiangxiang smiles, “Really? Master Xiao is really a hero. I admire him even more now.”Ye Shuang gave a cold laugh, completely unaware of her imminent demise.

Zhu Xiangxiang did not go in. She waited for a while, as Zhu Shaodan walked out.

Zhu Xiangxiang went up and grabbed his ear, “You’re still a minor, and you’re gambling? Wait till mom knows about this. She’ll break your legs.”

Feeling agitated, Zhu Shaodan shook off Zhu Xiangxiang’s hand and said, “Can you be more annoying? I’m just here to have fun. Why are you overreacting? Weren’t you supposed to be gone for three months to try your luck in the entertainment industry? Why are you back, looking so defeated?”

Zhu Shaodan studied Zhu Xiangxiang from head to toe, “Have you lost weight? Having a hard time in the entertainment industry, huh?”

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon her neck. There was a distinctive bruise, a mark suggesting that someone had strangled her. “Who did this?”

“Why didn’t you answer my call just now? Do you know I nearly got harassed to death by that old man, Deng Kun? If it hadn’t been for Master Xiao who rescued me, you wouldn’t see your sister anymore.” Zhu Xiangxiang’s voice choked with fear as she spoke and she started crying.

“Deng Kun?” Zhu Shaodan was furious, “That shameless old bastard. I’ll make sure I kill him.”

Zhu Xiangxiang quickly stopped him, “Don’t go, Master Xiao has already chopped off one of his fingers. He won’t recover from that.”

Only then did Zhu Shaodan notice the mention of Master Xiao and said in surprise, “Master Xiao saved you?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shyly responded, “Yes, he is a good man.”

Zhu Shaodan stared at her, then chuckled, “You’re falling for him.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of liking Master Xiao. In fact, if you plead with me, I might be able to help you since I carry some weight in front of Master Xiao.”

Zhu Xiangxiang was shocked this time, “What are you bragging about?”

“Do you know Xi Yu?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head.

“He’s a favorite of Master Xiao, and I…” Zhu Shaodan patted his chest proudly.

“I, Zhu Shaodan, am Xi Yu’s apprentice, no doubt about it.”

“Really?” Zhu Xiangxiang found this difficult to believe, “Who is this Xi Yu?”

She was now desperate to know everything about Ran Tengxiao.

“He is a very influential person…”

The two walked further away, their voices growing fainter until they were completely swallowed by the vast, cold underground parking lot.

“Master Xiao, here’s the financial report for this month.” Xie Zi respectfully handed it over.

Ran Tengxiao flipped through it, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“How can it be hard when it’s for Master Xiao?” Xie Zi lowered his head respectfully.

Ran Tengxiao paused for a moment while flipping through the report, “What’s the date today?”

“November 11th. Why, Master Xiao?”

Today was Singles’ Day for men and Women’s Shopping Spree Day.

Ninety percent of Qinglong Association’s members were single. It was indeed challenging.

“It’s been a week…” Ran Tengxiao muttered.

Ming Jing had days off recently and didn’t plan to stay in the hotel reading. She planned to go out for a walk.

Although she was familiar with the bustling city of Jingzhou, much has changed over the years.

‘Times changes and people change too.’ The phrase was indeed accurate.

Liu Muxue was still sleeping at this time. She had difficulty waking up, and Ming Jing didn’t want to look after such a princess.

As for Song Yinzhang, he had left for The Songs’ house early in the morning to visit his grandparents, uncles, aunts.

Ming Jing decided to venture out alone.

Just as she walked out of the hotel, a van stopped in front of her. The door opened, revealing Mao Nana’s warm smile.

“Ming Jing, I know you’re free today. Why not keep me company?”

Without a further word, Mao Nana pulled Ming Jing onto the van.

“Nana, where are we going?”

Mao Nana applied some lipstick while looking into the compact mirror. Her wide mouth truly was a startling sight.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

When Ming Jing saw the sign “Tianshi Plastic Surgery Studio”, she couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Mao Nana was indeed efficient. It was only last night that they added each other on WeChat, and Mao Nana is already making a visit.

A slender figure stood behind a vine as tall as a man, quietly looking towards the entrance.

“Mr. Xue? Dr. Liu invites you inside.” A respectful voice came from the nurse behind him.

The man pursed his lips, took one last look, and then turned and strode away.
