The barrage of words, coupled with two vicious slaps.
Li Bingqing’s eyes went blank, and it took her a long moment to react, a look of disbelief on her face.
She could never have imagined that Shi Juan would actually dare to slap her in public.
And all for a mere two hundred million, a sum that had once been insignificant in her eyes.
"You, just you wait," Li Bingqing gritted her teeth, each word emphasized.
"I will make you pay back these two slaps a hundredfold someday!"
However, the current downfallen Li Bingqing…
Even her threats carried no weight in the ears of others.
"With you, you little slut?" Shi Juan’s eyes glinted with disdain.
"Or perhaps that boss who keeps you, hmm?"
Her anger suppressed to the extreme, Li Bingqing was now willing to beg for Song Qiao's help.
"Song Qiao, please, help me. I, I can tonight..."
As she spoke, Li Bingqing’s cheeks flushed to the point of bursting.
She knew Song Qiao's habits and was thus making a trade.
However, for the proud Li Bingqing, saying such a thing…
Was likely a first!
"Now that’s how someone who needs a favor should act," Song Qiao’s lips curved upwards, as if satisfied with Li Bingqing’s offer.
"I agree to your terms!"
With that, he stood up.
His gaze fixed on the arrogant Shi Juan, he said calmly,
"Do you know that Li Bingqing is my woman?"
"The clothes and boots were also bought by me for her. When it comes to taking things, shouldn’t there be a 'first come, first served' principle? Why did you take them?"
"I demand that you publicly apologize to her."
But Shi Juan, always so belligerent, was not about to concede.
Pointing at Song Qiao’s nose, she unleashed a torrent of abuse.
"You want me to apologize to you two dog-and-bitch in public? Dream on."
"Let me tell you, you can’t afford to offend my background!"
"If you push me too far, neither of you will have a good outcome."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao pouted.
"The bank president’s wife, is that all?"
Clearly, this brainless woman didn't even recognize him.
Otherwise, how could she dare to speak so brazenly in his presence?
"Since you say your backing is so powerful."
Song Qiao smiled slyly, wondering which poor soul would be conned by this woman again.
"Then, call him over."
"I want to see what kind of creature gives you the courage to act so brazenly in front of me."
"Fine, very fine. Today, I will make you two dogs pay the price."
Seeing that Song Qiao was unfazed, Shi Juan's anger surged.
She vowed to humiliate them today!
"Alright, when Young Master Cui arrives, neither of you will escape."
With that, Shi Juan immediately made a call.
Less than five minutes later.
A young man with dyed yellow hair, flanked by a group of burly men, surrounded the luxury store.
"It's him!" Li Bingqing’s expression turned to shock.
It was an old acquaintance.
Choi Ho-je, the son of a Korean chaebol.
"Young Master Cui, you're finally here."
Seeing her boss arrive, Shi Juan's demeanor shifted to fawning. She hurried over, even throwing him a seductive glance.
"Let me give you a shoulder massage."
"Juan’er, what trouble did you run into that made you call me here?" Choi Ho-je said intimately, patting her thigh.
"It seems the poor president of Li Hai Bank has a very green hat."
Song Qiao would bet his life that these two were involved.
"It’s this pair of dogs and bitches! They colluded and almost, almost I wouldn’t have seen you again!"
Shi Juan pointed, feigning tears and a sob story.
"You must get justice for me!"
Following her指, Choi Ho-je’s gaze landed on a face he recognized. He froze for a moment.
Before Shi Juan could react, emboldened by the arrival of Choi Ho-je, she said arrogantly,
"Surprised? I’m working for Young Master Cui."
"If you're scared, then kneel down."
"Bingqing, it's you."
However, Shi Juan was then shoved aside.
At the same time, Li Bingqing instinctively took a step back, her face paling.
"Choi, don't come any closer. We're not familiar with each other."
Upon hearing this, Choi Ho-je stopped in his tracks, his eyes leering at her.
"Li Bingqing, you are the woman I have chosen. Don't run away."
"Seeing me now proves that we are destined to be together."
"You will never escape me in this lifetime!"
"The woman you've chosen?" Song Qiao's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint appearing.
While Li Bingqing was not of paramount importance to him,
Since she was now his woman,
Song Qiao would not tolerate anyone coveting her.
"That's not true. He's been pursuing me, but I've never agreed." Fearing Song Qiao's further displeasure later, Li Bingqing quickly explained.
"You will agree to me sooner or later, Bingqing!"
"If you come back to Korea with me, I guarantee you won't be bullied by anyone."
Choi Ho-je, calling her endearingly, took a step forward, intending to take her hand.
However, Li Bingqing retreated, her gaze filled with disgust.
"You dream."
"Why? Bingqing, why can't you accept me?" Sensing the distance in her small gesture, Choi Ho-je seemed heartbroken.
"My Cui family is a top chaebol in Korea. Our status and appearances are a match made in heaven."
"Also, don't you want to make a comeback and revive the Li family's prestige?"
"I promise you, if you marry me, the Li Group will also be mine. Of course, I can help you defeat Ye Zhiwei and reclaim the status that rightfully belongs to you."
*Hmph.*
Seeing the man speaking so confidently, Song Qiao couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Do you look down on me, Choi Ho-je?"
Confused by Song Qiao's laughter, Choi Ho-je glared at him fiercely.
"You, you must be that head of New Kai Group, Song Qiao, right?"
"I know you're very famous right now, but don't get too arrogant. Our Korean chaebols are not comparable to a few rotten fish and shrimps."
"I'm taking Li Bingqing away today. Do you still dare to make a move against me?"
Hearing this, Li Bingqing's face changed drastically.
She couldn't believe this person dared to be so arrogant on Chinese soil.
"How dare you! Our Li family will not let you go!"
Looking at the dozen or so burly men surrounding her, Li Bingqing's expression turned grim. She gritted her teeth and said.
"The Li family of the capital, is it? Heh heh." Choi Ho-je appeared quite disdainful.
"Your family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and you still dare to stop me from taking you away?"
"Besides, I'll give them five hundred million to shut certain people up!"
Li Bingqing's face darkened. She knew the Li family's current situation and wouldn't refuse the offer.
However, the next moment, Song Qiao's hand wrapped around her waist.
Li Bingqing gasped. Just as she was about to cry out, Song Qiao whispered in her ear.
The man's breath made Li Bingqing's heart pound. Just as she was about to struggle,
"If you don't want to be taken away, cooperate."
With that,
He hugged her slender waist, their faces pressing together, and kissed her deeply.
