Chapter 913: You Won't Refuse Any Request I Make, Right?
The worst part was that when she said those final words, her gaze fixed on Su Yang.
The people present were all Casanovaes; how could they not understand what this meant?
At that moment, two people's faces turned instantly green: one was Jia Guolong, the biggest joke of the year that night, and the other, naturally, was Su Yang, who had just dared to speak the truth without fearing authority.
There's no need to explain why Jia Guolong's face turned green; anyone would turn green in this situation. He had painstakingly organized a grand confession banquet, only to have it brutally become someone else's coldest rejection; who could possibly accept that? The psychologically fragile probably had their resolve shattered on the spot.
Su Yang's face was so green because Zhou Ruohan had asked him about the bracelet on the road earlier today. He said, in a pompous manner, that his parents would put the bracelet on when they came, that they would personally place it on his wrist, which finally resolved the bracelet matter that Zhou Ruohan had been obsessively and unresolvedly thinking about.
How much time passed? Not even three hours by any count, and he saw the bracelet—a whole set of bracelets—worn on someone else's wrist. If he could somehow turn this around, he'd be a genius.
Previously, he had been juggling the bracelet issue on both sides, but there was always only one person present each time, so his tongue was at ease.
But now it's completely different: both people are present, and there are plenty of witnesses; even if he had ten tongues he couldn't manage it. Moreover, he knows clearly that even his breathing might be wrong at this moment.
For the first time in his life, he felt he had to ask for help; losing face and bruising a bit of a man's dignity no longer seemed a big deal. He wanted to cast a desperate glance at Zhou Tong, but Zhou Tong's head shook like a tambourine.
Although he hadn't known the relationship among the three before, at this moment even a steel-hearted straight man should see it clearly, especially since Zhou Ruohan's gaze now was lethal.
He didn't dare to speak another word, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the ground and disappear as far as possible. Yet Su Yang's gaze lingered on his face, and he could do nothing, forcing out a sentence:
"Um, what? Didn't I just beat up Tian Xiaofei? My strike wasn't light or heavy, I don't know if something will happen, so I want to go to the Hospital right away. You keep drinking; I'm leaving first. Zhou Kai, if you want to drink, you can, I'll come back later to drive you back."
As soon as the words fell, he stood up to make a break for it, but Zhou Ruohan coldly said, "Sit down for me."
Su Yang shivered all over, once again casting a pleading glance at the little witch Liu Zixuan, his last hope.
Liu Zixuan, holding his chin, thought for a moment and said, "Sister Fang Jingwen, your bracelet is so beautiful, where did you buy it? Next time I'll also buy a set to wear on my wrist. Let me test it— is it really silver? Real silver is softer; you can bite it with your teeth."
As she spoke, she leaned in, actually trying to bite the bracelet on Fang Jingwen's wrist.
Fang Jingwen protected the set of bracelets with her left hand and said, "What? This bracelet wasn't bought; it was a gift, supposedly an heirloom, now extinct. The set I'm wearing is a unique piece; if you bite it and break it, what will you compensate me with?"
Liu Zixuan was stunned: "Damn, I stepped out to break the circle, and you put me inside it." He didn't care anymore; after all, he's always caused trouble, and his first good deed hadn't even succeeded, so he just gave up: "Seriously, why didn't you tell me about this good thing? If you'd told me earlier, I'd have asked for a set too. Honestly, the jewelry sold on the market now is so tacky, lacking any thought; they're only expensive, nothing else special."
Then he furtively glanced at Fang Jingwen's bare wrist and whispered, "Um, I think we should have a few more drinks to celebrate, after all, for Sister Jingwen, you've finally gotten rid of a big toad."
"And why are you all gathered here? Aren't you tired of making Jia Guolong keep being awkward? You people really have no sense of shame; do whatever you want. Also, DJ, keep the music playing so the joyful atmosphere keeps rippling. Otherwise, none of the club staff should work here; we'll replace them next year."
When he finished speaking, Jia Guolong's support crew hurried forward to pull him up from the ground. Indeed, while Su Yang, Zhou Ruohan, and Fang Jingwen were engaged in a covert battle, he was still kneeling on the ground watching. Call it cold or not, he had put so much effort into setting up such a big stage, only for Su Yang to become the lead actor.
Even worse, the two women he had pursued in succession—one became Su Yang's soon-to-be bride, and the other publicly declared herself an anti-marriage advocate, yet her wrist clearly bore the bracelet Su Yang gave.
He fell into the same ditch twice. Such a blow is undoubtedly heavy for any man, and he is no exception. These two women were his ideal—both in family background and looks—but Su Yang snatched them away.
Regarding the bracelet, although no one said it outright, they could all see and understand. Especially when Fang Jingwen said she was an anti-marriage advocate, it was clearly addressed to Su Yang, meaning, since you're getting married, I won't marry anymore.
Those words were resolute; on the surface they reject Jia Guolong, while covertly they convey a decisive stance to Su Yang.
Jia Guolong's face still green, he rose from the ground, smashed the bouquet of roses onto the floor, and strode away without looking back. Yes, he no longer had any face to stay here; everyone he hadn't lost in this life, he lost them all this time.
Before, Tian Xiaofei was the joke within their circle; everyone openly mocked him for barking like a dog here, getting slapped in the face, and losing over ten million. Now he is the biggest joke in everyone's hearts, because on the surface there's still a rank difference displayed.
Of course, this time many more people launched a fierce investigation into Fang Jingwen's identity; when they learned she was the department's third-ranked Deputy Department Head, they instantly understood why Jia Guolong had set his sights on her.
When Jia Guolong stepped out, Li Qiushui and Zhang Jiangbo followed, along with a few of their loyal henchmen. As soon as they passed the club's gate, Jia Guolong shouted to the heavens, "Su Yang, I fucking want you dead! I won't do anything else in this life; I'm only after you!"
However, Su Yang couldn't worry about that now, because someone asked him a soul-searching question: "Earlier at work, I didn't help you less; you promised that regardless of time or place, any request I make, you would never refuse, right?"
However, Su Yang at this time couldn't bother with these, because someone asked him a soul‑searching question: "Back at work, I've helped you plenty, you promised that no matter when or where, any request I make, you would not refuse, right?"
