Chapter 61 Drinking to Atone for One’s Sins
Pa!
The lights in the private room in the club suddenly changed. The light directly hit Qu Xiao’s cheek, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
Qu Xiao was surrounded by mocking gazes and discussions. The rich second-generation heirs laughed as they pointed and commented on her.
In the corner, Qu Qi raised her red lips proudly and looked at the farce that she had planned with great satisfaction.
Qu Zhen walked out from the crowd in an elegant dress. She held Qu Xiao’s hand affectionately as her eyes were filled with joy, “Xiao, I’m so happy that you came here to celebrate me coming back! I had wanted to invite you, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t be willing to come…”
Qu Xiao stood rooted to the ground, speechless. She wanted to slap away Qu Zhen’s hand and turn around to leave.
Qu Qi dragged Ling Chi out from the corner and said in a harsh voice, “She must be here to see Ling Chi!”
“You’re right! Every single one of us remember how Qu Xiao had madly pursued Ling Chi back then.”
“We’re all very envious! I even heard that Qu Xiao ran into Ling Chi’s room in the middle of the night and threw herself at him!”
The rich second-generation heirs bumped into Ling Chi’s shoulder and squinted their eyes with evil smiles on their faces. They did not care about Qu Xiao’s feelings at all.
Qu Zhen listened to their discussion and her eyes were filled with confusion. She lowered her voice and asked, “Is this true?”
The rich second-generation heirs nodded in an exaggerated manner and spoke up on Ling Chi’s behalf, “Qu Zhen, don’t misunderstand. Ling Chi’s heart is all yours. He did not give Qu Xiao even the slightest chance. Qu Xiao was the one who stuck to him like glue. We can all help testify on his behalf!”
Qu Qi snorted coldly and put on a mocking expression. “Why would we lie?”
“When Ling Chi came to visit our family, she deliberately wore extremely revealing clothes and splashed water on Ling Chi’s body. She simply doesn’t have any self-respect. How is she any different from a random girl on the street? She’s basically a call girl!”
As Qu Qi said this sarcastically, the surrounding people burst into laughter.
The stupid things that the original owner had done were now being exposed one by one.
Qu Xiao frowned slightly. She looked coldly at Qu Qi, who had stirred up the discussion.
At this moment, in the noisy room, a playful and sinister smile was on Qu Qi’s lips.
In a trance, Qu Xiao understood that the so-called transaction of the Nanjiang Blood Essence was a trap that Qu Qi had created.
Qu Qi took the opportunity to humiliate and get her revenge.
Qu Xiao’s silence made the rich second-generation heirs gossip even more. They even used unacceptable foul words.
Ling Chi walked over to Qu Zhen’s side. His eyes were filled with sincerity and love as he held her hand and said in a gentle tone in front of everyone, “Zhen, believe me. I don’t have any feelings for Qu Xiao. I’ve rejected her many times, but she refused to give up and pestered me.”
“Qu Xiao is your younger sister. I just wanted to take care of her for you. I didn’t expect her to misunderstand my intentions.”
The rich second-generation heirs clapped and cheered. They pushed Qu Xiao’s shoulders and said frivolously, “If Ling Chi didn’t tell us, we wouldn’t have known how much you pestered him. Qu Xiao, shouldn’t you apologize?” “Here! This bottle of whiskey is for you…” a rich second-generation heir stuffed an entire bottle of whiskey into Qu Xiao’s hand. “I heard that you can hold your liquor well. Why don’t you finish this entire bottle of whiskey in front of us as an apology to Ling Chi!”
“Those stupid things that you did that affected Ling Chi and Qu Zhen’s relationship will be forgotten from today onwards! No one will ever mention it again.”
The rich second-generation heir patted Qu Xiao’s shoulder heavily as he flirtatiously hooked his arm around her shoulder and said.
Ling Chi also lifted his chin as if he was waiting for her apology.
Qu Xiao decisively and nimbly pried open the rich second-generation heir’s wrist. He clutched his arm in pain as he squatted on the ground and wailed.
Qu Xiao unscrewed the cork of the bottle and walked in front of Ling Chi with a cold gaze. She lifted the entire bottle of whiskey and poured it on top of his head. “This is my apology!’
The golden-yellow liquor dripped down Ling Chi’s hair and the room immediately let out a series of gasps.
“You’re crazy!”
Ling Chi wiped off the sticky liquor. Then, Qu Xiao suddenly knocked the bottle on the tea-colored stool. Broken glass flew in all directions.
Qu Zhen looked at Qu Xiao with a terrified expression. A glass cut Qu Xiao’s palm and fresh blood dripped onto the ground from her fingertips. “How? Ling Chi, are you satisfied with my apology?”
Qu Xiao raised the corner of her lips into a bloodthirsty smile as her gaze swept past all the rich second-generation heirs who were present.
When they met Qu Xiao’s gaze, they were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound.
“Bunch of cowards.”
Qu Xiao threw the whiskey bottle on the ground and spoke loudly.
