How could he be so shameless?
Ling Xiao looked at her dazed expression, finding her incredibly cute. "Sister, hurry up and say something, or I'll really fall for her and leave with her. If you want to find someone as strong as me again, it'll be difficult."
Ruan Su felt a little dazed by his tone, and the rich woman was also getting worked up.
"I'll give you all these cards! Come with me," the rich woman declared grandly.
"You really aren't going to keep me? That's a lot of money," Ling Xiao's warm breath tickled Ruan Su's ear.
Stimulated by this, Ruan Su blurted out, "If you dare to leave with him, I'll break your legs!"
Ling Xiao chuckled softly at her words.
Ruan Su then realized what she had just said, and her face turned red. She reached out to shake off Ling Xiao's hand, feeling as though she had become strange by being with this shameless person.
Stay away from such disreputable people.
Ling Xiao followed the force of her struggle and pulled Ruan Su closer. "I'm not leaving. You need to cherish me properly."
The rich woman was angered. The handsome guy was about to leave with her, but this fierce woman snatched him away.
"Who do you think you are, snatching a man from me? Don't you know who I am?"
Ling Xiao seemed startled and shrank behind Ruan Su, hugging her loosely. His voice became a bubbly, childish squeak. "I'm so scared."
Despite his words, his eyes on the rich woman held no trace of fear. His dark gaze was like that of a god of death.
Ruan Su didn't see his eyes. She only felt that Ling Xiao's bottom line had dropped even lower, but strangely, she didn't feel offended. Instead, she felt an extreme familiarity with this way of interacting, even a deep nostalgia.
But that person had been dead for many years.
Her mood only dipped for a moment, as the rich woman didn't give her a chance to reminisce.
"You dare to zone out while I'm talking to you? Do you not want to stay in Ningzhong City anymore?"
Ruan Su finally faced the rich woman squarely. "And who might you be?"
"Have you heard of the National Music Association? I'm the vice president of the Ningzhong City branch!" the rich woman said proudly, stating her position.
Ruan Su frowned upon hearing this. "How much money can a vice president of the Ningzhong City branch have?"
It wasn't that she didn't understand the market; it was just that this was completely out of line. Even she didn't have that much money in her cards.
The rich woman looked at her as if she were a bumpkin. "You haven't even heard of the Music Association, have you? And you dare to compete with me?"
"If you know what's good for you, take your gigolo and get lost. Sister, let's go inside and look at cars. Didn't you say you'd buy me a car if I served you well today? You can't go back on your word." The young man beside her, seeing Ruan Su's lack of understanding, wanted to quickly pull the rich woman away lest she replace him.
The rich woman impatiently pushed him away. "When did you become so insensible?"
She called over the car dealership staff and had the young man sent away. Just then, the person who had processed the card payment walked out to find Ruan Su for her information.
"Wait, what car did they buy?" the rich woman exclaimed, surprised that they had already bought a car here.
The cars at this dealership were not cheap.
The salesperson pointed to a purple-grey car in the corner, which was quite striking.
"I want that car!" the rich woman exclaimed, her eyes locking onto it. It was only because the car was parked in a secluded spot that she hadn't claimed it the moment she walked in.
The salesperson said apologetically, "Sister Yun, there's only one of that model. You know our rules here; each model is unique to avoid similar-looking cars."
"I'll pay double the price!" The rich woman's eyes narrowed, and she thrust her card into his hand. "Don't tell me it's impossible. You know me. If you don't sell me the car today, you won't be appearing in Ningzhong City tomorrow."
The salesperson was extremely conflicted. The money had already been paid. If he resold it in front of them now, it would definitely damage his reputation. But if he didn't sell it to Sister Yun, he truly wouldn't be in Ningzhong City tomorrow.
Ruan Su, seeing the rich woman's overbearing attitude, felt impatient. "The Music Association is for serving music. When did it become a tool for you to abuse your power?"
"You dare to lecture me?" The rich woman was astonished that after years of being dominant, she was being lectured by a young girl.
She made a call to the president. "President, our influence doesn't seem to work anymore. I want to buy a car outside for the vice president of the general association who's visiting, just for fun, but the people here won't sell it to me!"
Upon hearing that it was to buy a car for the vice president of the Music Association's general headquarters, the president immediately became furious. "Where are you? I'll resolve it!"
Upon hearing the name of the car dealership, which was right below him, the president quickly went downstairs.
In a short while, a man with a stern face approached. "Sister Yun, who is causing trouble?"
The rich woman pointed at Ruan Su. "This brat who's still wet behind the ears!"
Ruan Su looked at the vice president and the president, narrowing her eyes.
"You're from out of town, aren't you?" the president asked the truth with just one glance.
Ruan Su coldly swept over his lecherous eyes. "Yes."
The president walked up to her. "Beauty, this is a place of military music. Besides the Yizhou Military Region, we have the Ningzhong Music Association. If you don't cooperate with our work like this, you'll be driven out by everyone."
"However, seeing as you're young, I can offer you a way out. Give us the car, and then follow me. I guarantee you'll have a smooth ride in Ningzhong!"
"What did you say?!" Ling Xiao's displeasure had already risen when he noticed the man's lecherous gaze. Now, hearing these words, he immediately jumped up.
"Oh, you have a lover too?" The president's eyes turned fierce upon seeing Ling Xiao emerge from behind her and shield her.
"Then don't blame me!" He beckoned a group of thugs to surround Ling Xiao and Ruan Su. "Knock them out and throw them out of Ningzhong City!"
Ruan Su tugged at Ling Xiao's sleeve. She wasn't strong enough, and she couldn't handle fighting. She could only find an opening to run quickly.
Ling Xiao met her cautious gaze and flashed a devilish smile. "Woman, I'll protect you."
With that, he charged towards the surrounding men at an incredibly fast speed. His movements were quick and simple, yet every strike landed with force and precision.
His face was nonchalant, but his eyes were filled with ice. As he moved, a silver plaque around his neck flashed in the light.
It was the first time Ruan Su had seen fighting be so visually pleasing.
These people were nothing to Ling Xiao, a mere flick of the wrist. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down, showing Ruan Su his formidable side.
Seeing the light in Ruan Su's eyes, he smiled with satisfaction. With two moves, he dealt with the last opponent and returned to Ruan Su's side.
"How was it?" He smiled brightly, as if he had just demonstrated a talent rather than fought a battle.
Ruan Su stared at him blankly and nodded subconsciously.
The president was also beaten. He wailed on the ground, threatening to call the special department to deal with them for assaulting members of the Music Association.
