BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119 - Chapter 119: Compensation
Xing Shu frowned. Cheng Xingyang said that she was unbecoming? She felt her stomach churning again. She looked at Liu Chun’s arrogant face and snorted. “I remember that you still owe me an apology, right?”
At the mention of this, Liu Chun’s face darkened. “You want me to apologize? Dream on. As long as my cousin bids my cousin-in-law, I won’t have to do anything. Xing Shu, don’t even think about riding roughshod over me!”
Just then, Nie Heng’s car came to a stop beside them. Liu Chun’s neck was held high and she looked as if her backer had arrived. Nie Heng had just gotten out of the car and did not know what had happened. Nie Xi was with him, and followed him impatiently. They looked like they were having an argument. When they saw so many people standing here, their faces froze.
Liu Chun was the first to react. “Cousin-in-law!”
The corners of Nie Xi’s mouth twitched mockingly. Nie Heng did not care about what Nie Xi thought. Instead, he looked at the crowd and asked, “What’s going on?” His expression was very impatient. Liu Chun did not dare to trouble him with such a small matter. She tried to grab Nie Heng’s sleeve coquettishly, but
Nie Heng avoided her. He looked at Liu Chun coldly and said, “I told you before
—I’m only willing to talk to you because of Liu Xiangru. Don’t be shameless.”
Liu Chun’s face instantly turned pale as she did not expect Nie Heng to be so brusque. After hesitating for a few seconds, she lowered her head aggrievedly. “It’s all Xing Shu’s fault. She wants me to continue apologizing to her.”
Xing Shu also looked at Nie Heng. Her tone was indifferent as she said,
“President Nie, you won’t forget what you promised, right?”
Nie Heng was frustrated. He grabbed his suit jacket and was about to walk into the bar. It was obvious that he did not want to get involved at all. Liu Chun panicked and quickly followed him. “Cousin-in-law, Cousin should have called you. She said to let this matter rest.”
Xing Shu snorted when she heard that. She raised her voice. “Let this matter rest? Just because Miss Liu said so? Was she the person you tried to disfigure? This Miss Liu is so presumptuous. She thinks everything can be swept under the carpet just because she said so?”
Liu Chun’s face flushed red with anger. “You!” She could not win against Xing
Shu, so she could only look at Nie Heng expectantly. Nie Heng’s face darkened. He would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Liu Xiangru. He looked at
Xing Shu warningly. “Xing Shu, enough is enough.”
Xing Shu’s gaze swept past Nie Xi. She felt that men were really heartless creatures. The woman he had been banging for many years was right beside him, but he was being protective of another woman. Hmph… Was Liu Xiangru Nie Hengs true love? If so, why did he have to drag Nie Xi down with a sluggish relationship?
Nie Xi took out a cigarette—lit it—and slowly blew out a smoke ring towards Xing Shu’s mocking eyes. Xing Shu wanted to see how far Nie Heng would go for Liu Xiangru.
Nie Heng had never liked catfights between women. But his face was not at all out of place when surrounded by a group of women. From a distance, Nie Xi and Xing Shu looked at each other. The two of them tacitly did not take the initiative to greet each other. Nie Xi pointed at the bar, indicating that she should go in first.
Xing Shu nodded. She did not want Nie Xi to stay here and watch Nie Heng defend another woman. Nie Xi walked away, coolly leaving this mess behind. Nie Heng kept a straight face as he looked at Nie Xi’s back and did not say anything. To him, Nie Xi was just a tool to vent his lust. How could she hold a candle to his true love, Liu Xiangru?
Nie Heng pinched the space between his eyebrows. Jiang Yao was standing behind Xing Shu. He was indeed the one who had promised Xing Shu an apology. He took a deep breath and spoke to her with rare patience. “Tell me, what compensation do you want? As long as it’s not too much, I’ll give it to you.”
Everyone present neard tnese words clearly. ‘l’ney were also very surprised tnat Nie Heng did not flare up. After all, he had always had a bad temper. Liu Chun was also very puzzled, but she realized that Nie Heng was backing her up. It seemed that Nie Heng cared about her cousin—Liu Xiangru—the most. Thinking of this, she straightened her back, and her brows were filled with smugness. She did not believe that Xing Shu would dare to ask for compensation; she was not disfigured after all. If she kept harping on this matter, she would only offend Nie Heng. Those who offended Nie Heng would not come to a good end. The others thought the same. Even Jiang Yao felt that Xing Shu would get the short end of the stick. However—in the next second—she heard Xing Shu say without hesitation, “30 million yuan. Transfer the funds to me immediately and I can forgo her apology..”
