After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 124: A dog bullying others by relying on its master’s power, does it give you a sense of superiority?

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: A dog bullying others by relying on its master’s power, does it give you a sense of superiority?

Li Qiuchan’s indifferent and presumptuous attitude greatly displeased Wang Tuohai.

And who was this woman, thinking she was so important? He, Wang Tuohai, had been a prominent figure in Capital City for many years and had rarely encountered someone so young and brazenly ignorant. Was he, Wang Tuohai, now expected to be the one to back down and smooth things over just to be able to leave this small city of Hangcheng? Ridiculous!

"If there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave. Farewell," Li Qiuchan said, unwilling to become further entangled with Shen Fanyun. The more she looked at the man, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"Stay where you are. Who gave you permission to leave?" Wang Tuohai’s eyes were sharp.

What did he mean? Was he planning to drag this out to the bitter end? Was he really going to restrict her personal freedom?

"Are you joking with me?" Li Qiuchan turned her head and met Wang Tuohai’s gaze levelly.

She had no idea who Wang Tuohai was, and frankly, she didn’t care. To put it simply, anyone associated with Shen Fanyun was scum! Coincidentally, Xu Bingqing hadn’t mentioned Wang Tuohai’s identity to her either.

"Do I look like I’m in the mood to joke with you?" Wang Tuohai clearly meant business. "Who the hell do you think you are that I should bother joking with you?"

Li Qiuchan was utterly confused. She gave Wang Tuohai a long, searching look before slowly shifting her gaze to survey Shen Fanyun. He stood on the steps, coolly smoking, the very picture of someone unconcerned and detached from the matter at hand.

"Letting your friend target me like this... aren’t you afraid of bringing an unwarranted disaster upon him?" Li Qiuchan asked Shen Fanyun, her voice unruffled.

Shen Fanyun raised an eyebrow. "Ah? Are you overthinking things?"

She thinks she can bring disaster upon Wang Tuohai?

"What she means is, if you don’t know what’s good for you, you’ll face the consequences," Shen Fanyun kindly translated for Wang Tuohai.

Wang Tuohai scratched his head and joked, "Thank you for the enlightenment, Mr. Shen."

Li Qiuchan was speechless.

At that moment, Qin Yue finally arrived. His face was livid, but upon seeing Wang Tuohai, he managed to adopt a softer demeanor. "Mr. Wang, I’m terribly sorry for causing you so much trouble."

"Trouble?" Wang Tuohai raised an eyebrow, his tone ambiguous. "This isn’t just trouble now. This woman here is saying that if I don’t appreciate her kindness, she’ll make me face the consequences."

Qin Yue knew Li Qiuchan and was well aware of her status.

"Mr. Qin," Li Qiuchan greeted him. She, of course, recognized Qin Yue as well; she had dined at such a high-class establishment many times, and they were nodding acquaintances.

"Get over here," Qin Yue ordered, ignoring Li Qiuchan and turning his fury on Lu Dong instead.

Lu Dong was numb all over. He’d really kicked a hornet’s nest tonight. An industry magnate from Capital City, his own boss, and Han Long’s future daughter-in-law—all three of them were people he couldn’t afford to offend.

"What have you done?" Qin Yue scolded.

Covering his face, Lu Dong lamented, "Boss, I’m really sorry. It was a moment of foolishness."

SMACK!

Qin Yue slapped Lu Dong so hard it split the skin. "As the manager, you listened to an outsider’s slander and ganged up on my guest. You disloyal dog! After today, you will disappear from my sight forever!"

Lu Dong was a crying mess. "I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I know I was wrong! I accept my punishment."

After Lu Dong stepped aside, Qin Yue’s gaze turned icy and fell upon Li Qiuchan, making her deeply uncomfortable.

"Miss Li, this matter has nothing to do with you. I hope you won’t intervene. The person I’m looking for is the young woman beside you," Qin Yue said, singling out Xu Bingqing.

Xu Bingqing trembled with fright and quickly hid behind Li Qiuchan.

"She is my best friend!" Li Qiuchan declared. The implication was clear: she couldn’t possibly stand by and do nothing while her friend was in trouble.

"Your friend hasn’t told you the truth. Li Qiuchan, aren’t you afraid that all your passion and good intentions have been misplaced?" Qin Yue sneered.

A little troublemaker, on his turf, chasing away his guests and almost causing him huge trouble... He had to wonder, where did someone like that get such nerve?

"Seize her," Qin Yue ordered.

Li Qiuchan was stunned by how aggressive Qin Yue was being. Was her personal intervention not enough? Was he really determined to fight her to the bitter end?

"Old Mr. Qin!" Li Qiuchan gritted her teeth, fury flashing in her eyes.

"I advise you to mind your own business!"

For such a blunder to happen—and one that wasn’t even caused by his own staff—had nearly landed him in deep trouble. Anyone in his shoes would be furious!

"Qiuchan, Qiuchan," Xu Bingqing sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

Li Qiuchan was infuriated. She hadn’t expected Qin Yue to be so unyielding, to completely ignore her status and insist on punishing Xu Bingqing right in front of her.

"Your so-called friend drove my important client out of my establishment!" Qin Yue bellowed. "If I hadn’t managed to contain the damage, I, Qin Yue, would have suffered a huge loss and been unjustly blamed tonight. Are you sure you want to stick your neck out for this friend of yours?"

"What?" Li Qiuchan was shocked, her expression finally changing. "Wasn’t this just a misunderstanding?"

"Ask your friend if it was a misunderstanding. She knows perfectly well what happened."

"Bingqing!" Li Qiuchan cried out, frustrated with her friend. Even at a critical moment like this, Xu Bingqing was still hiding things, forcing her into such a difficult position.

"Old Mr. Qin!" Li Qiuchan began after a long silence.

"I refuse," Qin Yue cut her off flatly. "We are reasonable people here. Wrong is wrong. Since a mistake was made, she must accept the punishment. I’m sure that even if Han Long himself were here, he wouldn’t have the face to make baseless arguments! Don’t try to use Han Long to pressure me. That trick doesn’t work on me."

At his words, the color drained from Li Qiuchan’s face. She looked as if she had just been slapped, utterly humiliated. Qin Yue’s implication was clear: he was warning her not to throw her weight around. Even if her backer, Han Long, were to show up, it would be useless.

"Qin..." Li Qiuchan hesitated.

"Put away that so-called sense of superiority of yours," Qin Yue said. "You rely on your husband’s family for clout. Outsiders might reluctantly give you a sliver of respect because of them, but do you really think that makes you a person of importance? It really proves the old saying right: show a dog too much respect, and it starts to think it’s a lion. How ridiculous! Why should anyone give you face? Without Han Long, what are you?"

Li Qiuchan was speechless.

Humiliation! What immense humiliation! They say you can attack a man, but not his pride. Li Qiuchan never, ever imagined that Qin Yue would humiliate her so publicly!

"Seize her!" Qin Yue commanded, a dangerous glint in his eyes. A group of security guards immediately moved in; it was too late, despite Xu Bingqing’s shrill screams.

Two men grabbed Xu Bingqing by the neck and forcibly dragged her before Qin Yue.

Li Qiuchan could only watch in stunned silence.
