Yu Xiaxing held up her phone, recording a video as she waited expectantly to see whether Yu Suisui would actually transfer money to the little white flower.
Yu Suisui stared at the little white flower for a long moment.
Then she suddenly burst out laughing.
Her red lips parted wide as she laughed wildly and without restraint.
The little white flower was dumbfounded. What was wrong with her?
When Yu Suisui had laughed enough, she finally explained, “You deliberately passed by me three times tonight. On the fourth time, you pretended to bump into me by accident, apologized, and offered to buy me a drink… You’d already looked into my identity, hadn’t you? You knew who I was.”
The young man instinctively denied it. “No, it really was just a coincidence.”
Yu Suisui tilted her head. She glanced at his watch, then looked down at his shoes.
“You deliberately put on these old sneakers too, didn’t you? Your watch isn’t expensive, but it’s a new sports model. The only thing that’s just the right amount of worn-out is your footwear, which makes it convenient for you to tell me about your family background and then bring up that limited-edition pair worth over twenty thousand.”
The young man’s expression darkened completely.
Yu Suisui, however, smiled even more brilliantly. “Did you trick some other older sister into buying that watch too?”
Yu Suisui’s friends had gathered nearby long ago. They hadn’t come over because they were enjoying watching her have fun.
Now that she had exposed him outright, everyone turned to look.
The little white flower’s face flushed red, then white with anger.
The humiliation of being exposed in front of everyone made him completely shed his earlier harmless, gentle facade.
He immediately turned on Yu Suisui and cursed, “What are you so arrogant about? Aren’t you just relying on your family’s legacy? At least when I go out looking for wealthy women, I’m relying on my own efforts!”
“You really think the people around you hang out with you because they like you?”
He raised a hand and pointed at the group of friends behind Yu Suisui.
“If you didn’t have the identity of Sixth Miss Yu, who would put up with your temper?”
“You’ve got a little money and think you’re so impressive!”
Yu Suisui showed no reaction.
In the corner, Yu Xiaxing immediately covered the balance displayed on her phone. “It’s not smelly at all. It’s our hard-earned money. Don’t listen to him.”
The little white flower had probably truly lost it after being exposed in public.
He continued ranting without pause. “Someone like you will never be genuinely loved! Everyone around you only follows you because they stand to gain something!”
Yu Suisui was starting to get annoyed. He kept repeating the same tired rich-hating nonsense.
The next second, she grabbed a liquor bottle from the bar.
Bang!
The heavy bottle slammed into the young man’s head.
The bottle shattered. The impact sent him staggering several steps backward until he collided with the barstool behind him.
Screams instantly erupted around them.
The young man clutched his forehead, blood trickling between his fingers.
He stared at Yu Suisui in disbelief.
Was she some kind of maniac?
How could she just start hitting people in the middle of a conversation?
When he came to his senses, he trembled with rage and pulled out his phone. “You’re finished! I’m calling the police! Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re rich! This is a society governed by law!”
Yu Suisui calmly accepted the tissue the bartender handed her and wiped the spot on the bottle where she had just held it.
After removing her fingerprints, she tossed the remaining half of the bottle aside.
She wasn’t frightened in the least. Instead, she turned around and loudly asked her friends, “Did I hit him?”
After a brief silence, everyone in the booth stood up!
“No!”
“Of course Sixth Miss Yu didn’t hit him!”
“We all saw it. It had nothing to do with you!”
Yu Suisui’s smile grew even more brazen. She asked again, “Then who hit him?”
The group swarmed around her, scrambling to take the blame.
“I did!”
“I hit him!”
“It was me. I just couldn’t stand the sight of him!”
“Stop fighting me for it. It was obviously me!”
The college student with the injured head stared at the absurd scene before him, completely stunned.
Yu Suisui raised one hand and slowly pointed from person to person.
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…”
Her finger finally stopped on a young man with blue hair. “You’re up this time.”
The blue-haired man cheered and threw both hands into the air. “Thank you, Queen Suisui!”
…
In the corner, Yu Xiaxing watched the scene thoughtfully.
Two bartenders were chatting beside her.
“Oh my God, I actually got to witness this spectacle…”
“You get used to it. Sixth Miss Yu of the Yu family has always been this wild. Every time she gets into trouble, she pays one of her friends to take the blame.”
“But fighting and assault can leave a criminal record. They won’t be able to take the civil service exams in the future…”
The first bartender gave a derisive snort. “What are you talking about? She gives them a check for a million yuan just for taking the blame once.”
“Lots of people without much talent work hard their entire lives and still might not earn a million.”
“What’s a criminal record compared with that? Besides, do any of the people gathered around her look like they’re planning to take the civil service exam?”
“True…”
What followed was a scene of chaos handled with surprising efficiency.
The injured college student had already been taken away by the bar manager to have his wound treated. Meanwhile, the blue-haired young man sat in his original place, excitedly thanking Yu Suisui.
Yu Suisui clutched her phone and muttered impatiently, “Why isn’t he here yet…”
Yu Xiaxing waited patiently too.
She was waiting for the person who would truly clean up Yu Suisui’s mess to make his entrance.
After quite some time, someone suddenly called out, “Brother Pei is here!”
Quite a few people looked up.
The man who walked in was tall and slender, dressed in a smoky-gray suit. His features were refined and handsome, and his gentle presence naturally made him seem approachable.
He was clearly a regular. The moment the bar manager spotted him from a distance, he hurried over to greet him. “Young Master Pei.”
Pei Xuchuan didn’t slow his pace. He glanced at the broken bottle and the traces of blood on the floor. “What about the security footage?”
Manager: “We’ve pulled it up already.”
Pei Xuchuan: “Delete it. Check the phones of every staff member working tonight as well. If anyone recorded a video, buy it from them.”
The manager quickly agreed.
In just a few sentences, Yu Suisui no longer had anything to worry about.
Pei Xuchuan then walked over to the young man who had taken the blame today, wrote out a check, and handed it to him.
The young man looked down at it, and his grin nearly reached his ears. “Thank you, Brother Pei!”
Pei Xuchuan said, “Keep your mouth shut.”
The young man replied, “Don’t worry. It’s not my first time. I already know exactly what to say if the police ask me questions.”
Once everything had been arranged, Pei Xuchuan walked toward Yu Suisui.
She was still sitting at the bar, drinking. From the moment he entered until now, she hadn’t even turned her head toward him.
Pei Xuchuan came up behind her and reached out to take the glass she had just raised to her lips.
Her hand suddenly empty, Yu Suisui finally turned around unhappily. “Are you sick?”
Pei Xuchuan placed the glass farther away. “And you still have the nerve to complain. Do you realize that if you’d hit him at a slightly different angle, I’d be dealing with a murder case tonight instead of an assault?”
Yu Suisui countered, “So what?”
Pei Xuchuan said, “Then I’d be very busy!”
In other words, even murder could be taken care of for her—it would just keep him a little busier.
The corners of Yu Suisui’s lips lifted. She was completely satisfied.
Pei Xuchuan looked down at her again. “Give me your hand.”
