At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan noticed a short, stout young man dressed in a white suit, a gold chain around his neck, and a cigar in his mouth, blocking Shen Ruobing's path.
Behind him, four burly men in black outfits, with brutish faces, clearly the young man's bodyguards, crowded around.
In broad daylight, some wealthy individuals today, regardless of whether they faced any threats, liked to surround themselves with bodyguards who appeared formidable, showcasing their distinguished status.
"Mr. Lu, please get out of my way!" Shen Ruobing said with a cold expression.
The Mr. Lu that Shen Ruobing addressed was Lu Xiaofei by full name, a former high school classmate of Shen Ruobing.
Back in their school days, this Lu Xiaofei had repeatedly written love letters to Shen Ruobing, trying to win the heart of the school beauty.
However, Shen Ruobing never gave him a second glance. Each time, she would tear up his love letters and throw them away as trash.
Later, relying on his father's connections and his family's influence, he also started a furniture business. It grew bigger and bigger, and he established a group company in C City.
Lu Xiaofei, believing himself to be the head of a group company and thus on equal footing with Shen Ruobing, was preparing to launch his so-called offensive of love when he heard that she had closed her company and disappeared from C City.
Later, he heard from others that Shen Ruobing had a falling out with her family and had gone into seclusion in a remote mountain village, where she established a furniture factory.
As for the specific mountain village where Shen Ruobing was located, Lu Xiaofei had not found out.
Besides, he was originally a playboy, indulging in debauchery day in and day out, with women constantly rotating around him like a revolving door. Shen Ruobing's departure from C City meant she was soon forgotten.
It was just that Lu Xiaofei had not expected to discover Shen Ruobing at the furniture exhibition today. He was shocked to see that she had become even more stunning than when she was in C City.
She was like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens, making him unable to move his legs.
At that very moment, he made a solemn vow in his heart that no matter what, he would have her this time, or he would not consider himself a man.
Upon hearing Shen Ruobing's words, Lu Xiaofei did not get angry but instead chuckled.
"Shen Ruobing, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, you've not only become more beautiful than a fairy, but your voice alone could add years to one's life."
Lu Xiaofei said with a lecherous grin, "Why don't we find a place to have a good chat!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruobing's face darkened as she said, "Lu Xiaofei, we have nothing to talk about. I still need to see the furniture exhibition area, so please move aside!"
Lu Xiaofei said, "Shen Ruobing, why do you still have that stubborn temper? Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
"After all, I am the CEO of a furniture group company. What gives you the right to ignore me?"
At this moment, Bai Yiling, who was standing nearby, said with some impatience, "Sir, if my sister Ruobing doesn't want to talk to you, can you be a bit more sensible and step aside!"
Lu Xiaofei's eyes had been fixed on Shen Ruobing. When he heard someone speaking nearby, he turned his head and found another fairy-like beauty. Instantly, his eyeballs almost popped out.
"Hey, aren't you Ms. Bai from C City? You're here too!"
When he recognized the beauty in front of him as Bai Yiling, he exclaimed, "I never expected that two top beauties who disappeared from C City would appear here."
"How about this, I'll treat both beautiful ladies to dinner tonight. Perhaps we can develop a deep connection by chatting together!"
At that moment, he changed his mind.
He wanted to have both of these exquisite beauties.
Lu Xiaofei then felt that he had made a tremendous discovery. Shen Ruobing and Bai Yiling were already famous beauties back in C City.
Who would have thought that after they disappeared from C City, they would instantly transform into the most exquisite fairies, so captivating that just one glance would make one's soul fly away.
*Slap!*
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yiling delivered a resounding slap that sent him flying.
With a *bang*, Lu Xiaofei crashed to the ground after flying seven or eight meters.
He struggled a few times and finally managed to get up from the ground, but he was still dizzy. He spun around a few times in place and fell to the ground again.
"Who hit me? Stand up!" Lu Xiaofei shouted hysterically with his eyes closed.
A bodyguard ran over and said, "Mr. Lu, the one who slapped you was that Ms. Bai you mentioned!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofei's eyes widened, and he looked towards Bai Yiling.
"Ms. Bai, was it you who hit me?" Lu Xiaofei asked in disbelief. How could a woman with no strength to even tie a chicken beat him so badly that he almost fainted?
Bai Yiling said coldly, "Beating scum like you, you think you can still bounce around?"
This infuriated Lu Xiaofei to the brink of madness.
He was a person of status, yet he was beaten by a woman and then scorned.
"What are you waiting for? Rip their clothes off!" Lu Xiaofei, having come from a rough background, was not afraid of anything.
The bodyguard glanced around and noticed the onlookers. He whispered, "Mr. Lu, you're a man of status. Doing this in broad daylight, isn't it inappropriate?"
"This..."
He then looked around and his mouth twitched several times. He said, "Help me up. This matter isn't over. Tomorrow, when Daoist Master Hong arrives, we'll deal with them!"
The four strong men walked over and helped Lu Xiaofei up from the ground.
Lu Xiaofei, unwilling to lose face in front of so many onlookers, glared fiercely at Bai Yiling and shouted, "Bai Yiling, you remember this. Tomorrow, you and Shen Ruobing will obediently climb into my bed and let me crush you!"
Unexpectedly!
As soon as the words left his mouth, *slap*, another slap landed on his face.
Lu Xiaofei wasn't sent flying this time, but he had a strong sensation that this slap, while on his face, almost made him vomit his internal organs from his throat.
At this moment, a young man stood opposite him, dressed in a white casual outfit, with his hands in his pockets and a backpack slung over his shoulder.
"Who are you? How dare you hit me?" Lu Xiaofei roared, furious.
The young man chuckled coldly and said, "Bai Yiling is the goddess in my heart. You dare to insult her, so who else would I hit if not you!"
"Kid, you're asking for death!" Lu Xiaofei was enraged upon hearing this.
He assumed Cheng Xiaofan was just a fan of Bai Yiling who had come to show off.
What was wrong with the world these days? Everyone wanted to play the hero in front of beautiful women?
"Go up and cripple this kid!" Lu Xiaofei roared at the four bodyguards.
The four bodyguards felt it was inappropriate to bully a woman in front of so many people, but they had no qualms about dealing with a man.
They had seen earlier that when Cheng Xiaofan slapped Lu Xiaofei, it was like a blur, his movements incredibly fast.
So, the four exchanged glances, silently communicating that they had encountered a tough opponent and needed to go all out.
"Roar—"
The four suddenly let out wolf-like howls and, like a whirlwind, charged ferociously towards Cheng Xiaofan.
