Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Just wait, little bunny
"An adulteress and adulterer! Qin Zhuzhu, this is your new boyfriend? Hah! I expected more from you but it seems like you only can find yourself some cheap man!" Xu Lan taunted her and laughed.
Qin Zhuzhu's chest heaved with anger. She stepped forward.
PAH!
There was a deafening sound in the hall.
Xu Lan's face whipped to the side. She held her swollen cheeks and glared at Qin Zhuzhu.
"Y...you hit me? You dare to hit me?!"
"That was for insulting a good Samaritan who happens to stand up for me. Xu Lan, you called yourself high class yet you act like a lowly person. I wonder what the ancestors of your Xu family will say when they look down from heaven. You can scold me as a cheap bitch or a lowly woman or whatever, but I'll tell you," Qin Zhuzhu stepped forward and pointed a finger at Xu Lan's face.
Xu Lan stepped back out of fear. She was trembling. Qin Zhuzhu looked like a devil.
"I used all my money to save your Xu family. Without me or my money, where would your Xu family be? How will you even be able to say shit in my face and act like you own the world? It was because of your fucking Xu family that I become poor with nowhere to call home! It was because of your fucking Xu family that I suffered so much humiliation! So your Xu family owe me!" Qin Zhuzhu had enough of their shit. She was burning with rage and could destroy the world at any moment.
"I emptied my accounts and sold my properties just for you! I saved your entire Xu family! I want you to repay all that money right now! Since we have nothing to do with each other, naturally you should return anything that belongs to me," Qin Zhuzhu demanded loudly.
Everyone was greatly surprised and shocked. Xu Meng relied on a woman to boost his business? Then he dumped her after he used all her money?! Why does this seem like a villain from a web drama? Utterly shameless!
"So the Xu family treated their daughter in law like hell and used up all her money to save themselves. Then they discarded her like waste. How cruel!" One of the guests said.
Bad comments about the Xu family flew around the hall and soon everyone knew who was the wicked one.
"I never expected your Xu family to be this ruthless. She was once your wife yet you treated her like this. Xu Meng, I will cancel my deal with you. Ungrateful bastard!" A man announced and sauntered out of the hall in disgust.
"Wait! Sir, please listen to my explanation!" Xu Meng called after him but it was too late.
"Our Mu family will not do business with someone as shameless as you!" Mu Yanqing stood up and left with her people.
"Miss Mu! Wait! Please don't listen to all those lies!" Xu Meng tried to save the situation but it didn't work at all. He didn't expect the situation to escalate into this!
He turned to Qin Zhuzhu, anger burning in his entire body.
"Everyone! I demand Xu Meng and the Xu family to return five billion in one week! If not, the consequences will be greater!" Qin Zhuzhu narrowed her fox eyes and turned on her heels.
She walked out without even taking her salary. She threw the apron away and strode out onto the streets. Phew! She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect herself to say such things so bravely. Qin Zhuzhu thought that she wouldn't have the guts to face her ex husband. It was all thanks to that rush of adrenaline that gave her courage.
"Are you going to stay in a homeless shelter tonight?" A voice startled her from behind.
Qin Zhuzhu turned around and saw the man from earlier.
"Thanks for helping me earlier," she said.
"You're welcome. You were quite bold back there. I should be the one thanking you for standing up for me," the man smirked.
"Yeah. Wait, were you following me?!" Qin Zhuzhu realized it by now.
"Yes," he replied.
"Why are you following me?" Zhuzhu asked.
"Simple. You agreed to pay me back from accidentally throwing the document into the trashcan. But now that you are broke, how are you going to pay me back?" The man asked with a sly smile.
Oh shit. Qin Zhuzhu realized that she was really broke and she forgot to take her salary in a fit of anger. Well, considering the chaos she created back there, she doubted the restaurant would pay her a single cent.
"I .... Uh..... Will find a way to pay you back. Don't worry," Qin Zhuzhu said nervously and turned away from the man.
"You don't want to become my fake girlfriend? I thought we agreed on it before," the man asked. He seemed serious about it but she was just talking rubbish with him.
"I was joking with you. I can't. I still have to take care of my mother. She will worry about me," Qin Zhuzhu said to him. She glanced over shoulders. The man was still walking behind her.
There was only one thing she could do now.
Run!
She quickly dashed off like a wild rabbit.
Running from paying? Shentu Jing shook his head as he watched her disappear from sight in amusement.
Just wait, little bunny. I'll find you soon.
Qin Zhuzhu looked behind and saw that the man was no longer following her. If that damned Xu family really pay back her money, then she would use that money to pay back that mysterious man.
Oh! By the way, what was his name? She didn't even know his phone number.
*******
Soon the Xu family suffered a big setback. Many companies pulled out from their business and deals with them. Xu Meng was worried as his assistant showed that their stocks had dropped by a lot!
Qin Zhuzhu, this must have been your plan all along. You scheming woman!
Later his phone rang and he saw that it was his grandpa calling. Oh no, how will he explain it to the old man?
"Qin Zhuzhu! You bitch! Wait till I kill you!" Xu Lan roared. She ripped a magazine to pieces.
"Brother, that bitch is asking us to return the five billion to her. We don't have that amount of money. What should we do?" Xu Jing complained.
