    46: Chapter 46: Are We That Close?

    “I can sentence him to life imprisonment!”

    Wow!

    Everyone couldn’t help but gape with open mouths.

    Just because of looking down on someone, he was to be sentenced to life imprisonment?

    Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?

    However, no one doubted Lawyer Yang’s words.

    Let alone the Su family’s influence, which would make handling this matter quite simple, Lawyer Yang’s capabilities alone were more than enough!

    In Nanjiang City, Lawyer Yang was known as an undefeated general.

    Since his debut, he had fought countless lawsuits and had never lost!

    Upon hearing Su Shiqi’s decision, the man with the ear piercing was no longer able to act arrogantly.

    He was so drained of strength he collapsed weakly onto the floor, letting the approaching security drag him out like a dead dog.

    Watching Bai Xiaofan and Li Qian, under Su Shiqi’s lead, walk in, Zhao Tian and Zhou Ya’s faces turned extremely ugly, especially Zhou Ya’s.

    Not long ago, Bai Xiaofan was a nobody, poor and unknown except to her, and he was a loser who didn’t know any beauties.

    How come in a blink of an eye, he was surrounded by so many beautiful women?

    Besides Li Qian, who was just an ordinary teacher, all the other women were no simple characters!

    Take Jiang Feifei, for example, or the current Su Shiqi—one is no match for her!

    Moreover, Zhou Ya noticed something else.

    It seemed that Bai Xiaofan had changed significantly from when he had been with her.

    At this moment, Zhou Ya realized that deep down, she actually felt a bit of regret for breaking up with Bai Xiaofan!

    However, she quickly consoled herself by thinking about how Zhao Tian let her manage the family business and made her the youngest female president—something Bai Xiaofan couldn’t do because he didn’t have Zhao Tian’s wealth or influence.

    Bai Xiaofan and Li Qian arrived at the innermost part of the hall, where about a dozen people were sitting, both men and women, all middle-aged or older.

    In fact, two of them were even past their sixties!

    Su Shiqi introduced Bai Xiaofan and Li Qian to everyone.

    Out of respect for Su Shiqi, they all exchanged polite greetings with Bai Xiaofan, even though, otherwise, they might not have even glanced at him!

    After all, Bai Xiaofan’s clothing was extremely shabby, so shabby that it was even worse than their servants’!

    “Xiaofan, you said you’re selling miraculous medicines.

    What do they treat?” Su Shiqi asked in a low voice after she and Bai Xiaofan sat down.

    “Shi Qi sister, these pills of mine are really powerful.

    There’s one for treating men’s kidney deficiencies; it can nourish the kidneys.

    There’s also one for treating women’s menstrual disorders and beautifying the skin, and even one that can adjust bodily functions, making people vigorous.

    It lets the elderly walk as if they were flying!” Upon being asked by Su Shiqi, Bai Xiaofan took out a bunch of bottles and jars and began introducing them one by one.

    “Put it this way, Shi Qi sister—my ‘Spiritual Medicine’ cures all ailments!”

    Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Su Shiqi couldn’t help but burst into cold sweat.

    Was this guy exaggerating again?

    Anyhow, chatting over WeChat these past few days, Bai Xiaofan always seemed not very serious!

    “Xiaofan, how much are these?

    What if I buy them all?” Su Shiqi thought Bai Xiaofan might be in need of money, so she offered to buy them all.

    Anyway, the people seated here might not be interested in buying these medicines!

    “You don’t need any beauty nourishing either, huh?

    I already told you last time...”

    “Don’t say it, don’t talk about what happened last time!” Bai Xiaofan was sizing up Su Shiqi, and before he could finish speaking, his mouth was hurriedly covered by her little hand!

    Remembering what had happened in the car last time, Su Shiqi’s cheeks turned a rosy red, and although she wasn’t really violated, Bai Xiaofan, the jerk, had pretty much seen everything!

    Especially at the end, had she not come to her senses in time, who knows...

    “Mmm, smells good!” Bai Xiaofan wore a look of bliss on his face.

    I...

    Go find yourself an ‘Immortal’ to mess with, why are you always thinking about taking advantage of me?

    Su Shiqi angrily withdrew her hand and glared at Bai Xiaofan in shame and anger!

    “Young man, a modest lady is a gentleman’s treasure.

    The way you treat miss Su and the frivolous remarks you make are somewhat inappropriate, don’t you think?”

    Just then, a gentle and refined male voice sounded.

    Turning toward the voice, they saw a young man with a scholarly demeanor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

    He was quite handsome, but from the depths of his eyes, Bai Xiaofan could see a hint of dark clouds.

    “Mr.

    Zheng!” Upon seeing this man, those old folks who were previously indifferent to Bai Xiaofan all stood up and greeted him with deference, making it clear that Mr.

    Zheng was someone significant!

    “Ah, my respected elders, no need to stand on ceremony.

    I heard there was a small auction here today and wanted to come have a look.

    Nothing more, but seeing how this gentleman was disrespecting Miss Su, I couldn’t help but speak up!”

    Mr.

    Zheng, in response to everyone’s greetings, was exceedingly polite, even his speech was appropriate and measured, yet his expression clearly broadcast his pride!

    “Indeed, this friend was somewhat disrespectful to Miss Su!”

    “Young man, you really should learn a thing or two from Mr.

    Zheng!”

    “Yes, you see, Mr.

    Zheng is young yet accomplished, capable and courteous, I could say he’s pretty perfect!”

    Listening to these so-called bosses chatter away, Bai Xiaofan scoffed in disdain.

    Indeed, people are all the same; they suck up to anyone who appears stronger than themselves!

    Su Shiqi’s expression grew ugly — these people were berating Bai Xiaofan, clearly disrespecting her.

    “Here’s my business card.

    If you have any issues in Nanjiang City or Jiang Province, feel free to call me.

    For Miss Su’s sake, I can help you resolve them!”

    Mr.

    Zheng was pleased with the crowd’s reaction, and sensing that his show had the desired effect, he pulled out a business card and offered it to Bai Xiaofan!

    Bai Xiaofan glanced at him but didn’t take the business card and instead turned to Su Shiqi, saying, “Shi Qi sister, when does this auction start?

    I’ll leave as soon as I sell my stuff.

    This place is too fancy, it’s uncomfortable to sit around!”

    “It’s about to start, I’ll take you there!” Knowing Bai Xiaofan disliked these people, Su Shiqi nodded and stood up, ready to lead Bai Xiaofan away!

    “Friend, isn’t this a bit rude?” Mr.

    Zheng stepped aside, blocking the way of the three, and smiled at Bai Xiaofan.

    “Am I familiar with you?

    Don’t call me ‘friend.’ It makes me think you are mocking me for having bad eyesight!” Bai Xiaofan scoffed as he glanced at the other man.
