Wei Zhou took the red wine and downed it in one gulp. Then, he threw the wine glass on the table and got up to walk out. Seeing his expression, Lan Jian hurriedly chased after him. “Ah Zhou, where are you going?”

Wei Zhou turned around and glared at him. “Don’t come over and bother me!”

If the obnoxious and annoying Lan Jian followed him, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to help himself and tie Lan Jian’s tongue. Su Yan’s reaction just now had caused his mood to drop to the bottom. Even now, his heart still ached terribly.

“You have to calm down. This is Xia Zijian’s place. Even if you want to fight, you can’t do so today, right?” Lan Jian began to speak in a flippant manner.

“If you dare to follow me again, do you believe that I will drag you to the boxing gym right now?” Wei Zhou stopped again and looked at Lan Jian with a ruthless gaze.

“Uh… well, then be careful when you fight later. Don’t let Master Xia beat you to death. I won’t go over so that I won’t get covered in blood,” Lan Jian said in a flippant tone again.

“Do you believe that I will beat you to death here first?” Wei Zhou clenched his fists so tightly that they kept cracking. He felt that he had become friends with the wrong person.

Seeing Wei Zhou’s angry expression, Lan Jian felt a sense of fear. He hurriedly grabbed his wine cup to go chat with others. Seeing that Wei Zhou finally stopped following him, Wei Zhou calmed down and he turned around to walk out of the banquet hall. He didn’t want to leave this place. He just wanted to find a quiet place to smoke.

In the safe passage, it was so quiet that even one’s breathing could be heard. Wei Zhou sat on the concrete stairs, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. Outside the safe passage, a few hotel staff walked past occasionally. Although they all saw him smoking here, no one dared to come over and bother him. Just his dark expression alone was enough to scare them off.

This hotel was owned by Wen Yan, another one of his childhood friends. Although they didn’t often contact each other and rarely gathered together, their relationship wasn’t much worse than his relationship with Lan Jian and Jiang Yuan. Wei Zhou smoked while looking at the drizzle outside the window. He walked over and opened the window before taking a deep breath of the moist air outside. The cold and fresh air instantly made his mind clear. His irritable mood also began to calm down.

Suddenly, a familiar woman’s voice sounded, “Wei Zhou, what are you doing here?”

Chu Beibei pushed open the door and walked in, but she didn’t dare to get too close to Wei Zhou. When she saw Wei Zhou come out just now, she already wanted to come out and look for Wei Zhou. Wei Zhou, who was standing in front of the window, gave off a sense of loneliness. The scene of him apologizing to Su Yan in the banquet hall completely shocked Chu Beibei. She couldn’t imagine that a man as high and mighty as Wei Zhou could actually apologize.

Chu Beibei questioned, “Wei Zhou, can you wake up? Su Yan, that gold-digging woman, is a scheming b*tch. Other than her somewhat beautiful face, what else is attractive about her? Do you think it’s worth apologizing in public for a woman like her?”

Wei Zhou was already in a terrible mood. There was actually someone who dared to take the initiative to attack him. Moreover, she was questioning his feelings for Su Yan. How could he let such a person do whatever she wanted?

Wei Zhou slowly turned around as he raised his chin slightly and looked down at Chu Beibei. “Who do you think you are? How dare you question me? What right do you have to slander Su Yan like this and say that she’s useless? Even though you are the daughter of the Chu family, you don’t even have the right to lick Su Yan’s shoes. Do you understand?!”

“You don’t even have the right to lick Su Yan’s shoes. Do you understand?” Wei Zhou’s words were extremely powerful. It was as if an intercontinental missile had exploded in Chu Beibei’s head. At first, she was stunned, then, her body couldn’t help but tremble.

Chu Beibei didn’t expect that the man she had admired for so many years would give her such an evaluation in the end. This comment that was enough to crush her heart into pieces.

Chu Beibei wasn’t convinced and her expression was a little distorted as she roared, “Wei Zhou, what right do you have to say that about me? I like you. Is it wrong to like you? You can dislike me, but you can’t insult me. What is so good about Su Yan? How am I not comparable to her? You better tell me!”

Wei Zhou put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Chu Beibei with a condescending expression. the corners of his mouth curled up into a smirk. “Hmph, you liking me is your business, just like how I like Su Yan. It’s also an unreciprocated love. Who said that I have to like you just because you like me? Also, don’t compare yourself to Su Yan, because you’re overestimating yourself.”
