Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Fang Xiaocao: Still A Step Too Late?
“I didn’t, stop talking nonsense.”
“I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Han Xue screamed, and, like a madwoman, pounced towards the high school ssmate who had spilled the beans.
“Bitch, you think I’m scared of you?”
The high school ssmate rolled up her sleeves and cursed.
Just as the two were about to engage in a full-blown fight, a bystander stopped her, and a few others together overpowered and restrained Han Xue.
Someone even shouted, “Don’t hit the face, this bitch still needs to entertain clients for Boss Shen, don’t ruin her looks.”
“Boss Shen, we’ll help you take her back.”
Someone was groveling to Shen Tao with a ttering smile that was too servile for their age.
Shen Tao smiled without saying a word.
He turned his head to look at a streetlight nearby, not even ncing at that person.
A burly security guard pointed at the KTV next door.
Picked up the walkie-talkie and made a show of shouting, “Send someone to check if the guests in Room 608 have left.”
That person showed a look of understanding.
Turned around and ordered the group controlling Han Xue, “Get a woman to touch up her makeup, and take her to Room 608.”
Eager to leave quickly, these people, no longer caring about past camaraderie, quickly touched up Han Xue’s makeup and escorted her into the KTV.
“Boss Shen, rest assured.”
“We’ll make sure she entertains the guests properly.”
Themanding individual said with a sycophantic smile.
Shen Tao nodded imperceptibly without a word.
That person, as if granted amnesty, scurried into the KTV.
Shen Tao gave a sign to the security guard with the walkie-talkie, who nodded and followed into the KTV.
Fang Xiaocao silently put away her phone, sent the video she had recorded to Wang Qiang, and added a text exining the situation.
“After all, we were best friends. Although you were unkind, I can’t be unjust.”
“Han Xue, this is all the help I can offer.”
Fang Xiaocao pocketed her phone and muttered.
The Land Rover started and slowly drove away from the parking spot.
[Ding Dong!]
The phone notification sounded.
Fang Xiaocao casually opened it to check.
[Hot Noodles: Is it worth it to do this?]
“What’s worth or not worth it?”
Fang Xiaocao countered.
[Hot Noodles: If the news leaks and Shen Tao gets annoyed, there’ll be big trouble.]
“So, does Shen Tao know about it?”
Fang Xiaocao asked with a smile.
[Hot Noodles: At least I don’t know yet.]
“Even if Shen Tao really finds out, doesn’t he have you, the one who foresees the future?”
Fang Xiaocao replied with a smiling voice message.
“I believe in you!”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
[Hot Noodles: I freaking don’t trust myself, can you please not y with fire?]
“Can’t you be a bit more confident, future me?”
“Foreseeing the future, it’s pretty cool, right?”
Fang Xiaocao continued smiling as she spoke.
[Hot Noodles: Woman, you’re ying with fire!]
“Yes, and I’m ying with my heart racing.”
Putting down the phone, the Land Rover left Bar Street.
As she drove out of Bar Street, Fang Xiaocao’s Land Rover barely brushed past a few police cars.
“Officer Wang is pretty fast.”
Watching the police cars speed by in the rearview mirror, Fang Xiaocao chuckled to herself.
[Ding Dong!]
The phone notification sounded again.
Fang Xiaocao muttered, “Why is there another message?”
She swiftly unlocked the screen to check the message.
It was not Hot Noodles who had messaged but Wang Qiang.
[Wang Qiang: About today, don’t tell anyone. I’ll keep it a secret for you. Shen Tao has some connections.]
Reading the message from Wang Qiang, Fang Xiaocao smiled and replied with an “OK” emoji.
Back at Xintiandi Residence, Fang Xiaocao parked her Range Rover downstairs and went straight up to her apartment.
However, she failed to notice a sneaky figure crouching in the corner, staring at her retreating back.
“Two tigers, two tigers, run so fast~”
Listening to the incessant ringtone of her phone, Fang Xiaocao frowned and reached for her mobile, grumbling irritably, “Who is it, disturbing my sleep early in the morning~”
She nced at the phone screen.
It was a call from Su Wanqing, that Tiger Girl.
“Oh brother~”
Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes and muttered something irritably before pressing the answer button.
“Hello, what’s up?”
Fang Xiaocao said, sounding listless.
“You’re waking me up early in the morning, interrupting my sweet dreams, aren’t you a bit ‘cat’s biscuit’.”
Before Su Wanqing could speak, Fang Xiaocao began toin about the major Tiger Girl’s hical behavior of disturbing someone’s sleep.
“Stop sleeping, stop sleeping~”
“I’m telling you, there’s big gossip.”
Su Wanqing was not at all angry, she shouted excitedly.
Hearing that there was big gossip, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes blinked, and she became somewhat more alert.
Fang Xiaocao rolled over, sat up in bed, and leaned against the headboard, curiously asking, “What big gossip, spill the details.”
Everyone has a heart for gossip!
@@novelbin@@
Fang Xiaocao was powerless against juicy stories.
“I’m telling you, Han Xue got, you know, done over.”
Su Wanqing spoke mysteriously.
Hearing Su Wanqing’s words, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.
Then she rolled her eyes, lost interest in the so-called big news, and went back under the covers to continue lying in.
“The old man moves that fast, huh?”
Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.
From the moment Han Xue was taken into the KTV until Wang Qiang arrived with his people, it was only a matter of minutes.
Fang Xiaocao couldn’t believe that in such a short time,
Han Xue still couldn’t escape her fate.
“Huh?”
“How did you know it was an old man?”
On the other end of the phone, Su Wanqing was taken aback and asked in confusion.
Fang Xiaocao’s eyes blinked, thinking to herself, “I almost blew it.”
She quickly changed the subject and asked in return, “Old man? What old man?”
“I’m saying that I’m not interested in Han Xue’s situation.”
“How did you hear ‘old man’?”
Saying this, Fang Xiaocao let out a “hehe” mischievousugh, teasingly said, “Tiger Girl, be honest with me, have you been single for too long, no longer into ‘eight-pack’ youngds, and starting to like old men now?”
“Pshaw, I’ll spit a mouthful of salt soda on you.”
“It’s Han Xue who likes old men, my standard for choosing a partner has always been ‘eight-pack’ youngds.”
Su Wanqing on the phone said this puffing up with indignation.
Fang Xiaocao opened WeChat and nced at the ss group. Indeed, Han Xue’s ordeal fromst night was being wildly shared in the group.
True or false, the stories were making Fang Xiaocao’s head spin.
“Aww, don’t change the subject; I’m telling you about Han Xue’s gossip.”
On the phone, Su Wanqing hadn’t forgotten to keep enlightening Fang Xiaocao about the explosive news concerning Han Xue.
During the hospital visit, Fang Xiaocao and Su Wanqing had talked about Han Xue and Qi Yu’s situation.
Therefore, Su Wanqing now also held a grudge against Han Xue.
Upon learning that the culprit Fang Xiaocao had hit with her car was Qi Yu, Su Wanqing evenughed and teased, saying Fang Xiaocao was doing: “The first sword afternding, ying her sweetheart.”
“Alright, alright, quit your yapping.”
“I’ve already had my fill of that gossip in the group.”
Fang Xiaocao said helplessly.
“Ayy, how can you be like this?”
“I’m here giving you the scoop on the gossip, and you’ve gone off to spoil it for yourself.”
Su Wanqing said coquettishly, clearly unsatisfied.
“So what should we do now?”
Fang Xiaocao asked with augh.
Hearing Su Wanqing acting coquettishly, Fang Xiaocao’s first thought was: This Tiger Girl wants to fleece her!
“Invite me to eat Hot Noodlester, and I’ll forgive you!”
As expected, Su Wanqing’s next words revealed her true intentions.
