Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 699 - 692: A Woman’s Mind (Part 6)

Being able to walk out of this courtyard, Bai Yiran certainly wouldn’t refuse. It was a perfect opportunity to observe the outside environment and look for an escape route.

Wu Chengzu and Bai Yiran walked into the courtyard, where Yao Zhiqing was standing with Da Lin, discussing something unknown. Both their expressions were not great. Seeing them come out, the two stopped their conversation.

Wu Chengzu ignored the two of them and directly told Jia to open the courtyard gate. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Why are you opening the door?" Yao Zhiqing asked.

"I’m planning to take her for a walk up the mountain," Wu Chengzu replied cheerfully.

"What!" Yao Zhiqing stepped in front of Wu Chengzu, blocking his way, "Just the two of you?"

"Yes." Wu Chengzu pushed past Yao Zhiqing and continued to walk out.

Yao Zhiqing followed again, "No, I don’t agree! You can take her out, but at least take two people with you. What if she runs away?"

From Yao Zhiqing’s perspective, Bai Yiran was their hostage, a bargaining chip for negotiations with the police. If it really came to the last moment, Bai Yiran could still be of use.

Wu Chengzu sneered, "Are you saying I can’t even handle a woman?"

Bai Yiran looked at the already open gate, wondering if she would succeed if she ran out with all her might now.

But she only lifted her foot slightly and gave up. It wasn’t the right time yet; she couldn’t act recklessly.

Over there, Yao Zhiqing was still quarreling with Wu Chengzu. Finally, Wu Chengzu lost his patience, "Yao Zhiqing, you’d better understand your own position. Don’t think that just because you’ve slept with me, you can control me! I’ve slept with many women, and most of them are dead! Are you looking to follow in their footsteps?"

After Wu Chengzu finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. The thugs in the courtyard lowered their heads in embarrassment, as Brother Zu’s words were too explosive and involved the privacy of two bosses. If they could, they wished they were deaf at that moment and didn’t have to hear that sentence.

Da Lin pursed his lips, looking at Yao Zhiqing with a complex expression.

Zhiqing, is this the man you want? A man who doesn’t care about you and humiliates you publicly like this?

Yao Zhiqing staggered back two steps, looked at the others in the courtyard, and finally turned to Wu Chengzu, with her body starting to tremble.

She never expected Wu Chengzu to speak to her like this in front of so many people. She always thought Wu Chengzu couldn’t do without her, needed her to connect externally, launder money, and handle the aftermath for him.

But until this moment, she realized clearly that it wasn’t Wu Chengzu who couldn’t do without her; it was her naive belief that she was important to Wu Chengzu.

Bai Yiran watched the scene coldly, feeling a sense of shame rise within her, derived from the fact that a woman like Yao Zhiqing was once her respected teacher.

Seeing Yao Zhiqing fall silent, Wu Chengzu grabbed Bai Yiran’s wrist and headed out.

Jia, seeing this, timidly approached Da Lin, "Brother Da Lin, should we follow them?"

Da Lin looked at Yao Zhiqing disappointedly, "Ask her, why are you asking me? I’m just a tool!"

This was what Yao Zhiqing had told him in person before Wu Chengzu and Bai Yiran came out. He knew Yao Zhiqing had been wronged by Wu Jingjing, and though his heart was cold, he still couldn’t leave her alone. So he stepped up to persuade and comfort her.

As a result, she harshly let out such a sentence, "Who do you think you are? You’re just a tool to warm my bed!"

Now when Da Lin looked at Yao Zhiqing, he only saw her as a joke, perhaps even seeing himself as a joke.
