Chapter 266: Lin Xuan saves her?
No way, Brother Lin Xuan wouldn’t do that to her.
“Brother Lin Xuan.” Shen Qianqian said with bloodshot eyes, “Although those two are your people, they’re targeting me because of the influence of that fox spirit. You had no idea from start to finish, right?”
“Or, were they fired by you and now seeking revenge by capturing me?”
A bodyguard kicked Shen Qianqian hard, his face dark. “Try calling our master a fox spirit again!”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, looking at Lin Xuan hopefully.
With how they treated her, Brother Lin Xuan would definitely punish them, right?
“Brother Lin Xuan,” Shen Qianqian pleaded while biting her lip, “Can you punish them, please?”
She looked at Lin Xuan with hopeful eyes, appearing pitiful, but this tactic didn’t work on him.
Qin Ruoyao used to look at him like that all the time; he was already immune to it.
Of course, Su Hua was an exception.
“Punish?”
Lin Xuan smirked coldly, “How do you suggest I punish them?”
“I sent them to beat you up.”
These words hit Shen Qianqian like being struck by lightning. She froze in place, staring at Lin Xuan as her pupils dilated.
After a long while, she came back to her senses.
“No, Brother Lin Xuan, you’re lying to me, right? You wouldn’t treat me like this, would you?”
Shen Qianqian clung to Lin Xuan’s trouser leg, pleading desperately. “Hurry, tell me it’s a lie! Tell me you were just fooling around!”
Annoyed, Lin Xuan kicked Shen Qianqian away.
“Ah—”
Shen Qianqian fell to the ground again.
“Shen Qianqian,” Lin Xuan squatted down in front of her, “I warned you. Since you keep纠缠me, don’t blame me.”
“Brother Lin Xuan, I纠缠you because I love you!” Tears streamed down Shen Qianqian’s face. “I want to pursue the person I love, is there anything wrong with that?”
And that woman is not someone suitable for Brother Lin Xuan.
That woman doesn’t deserve to be with Brother Lin Xuan.
In a relationship, the one who isn’t loved is the third party. If Brother Lin Xuan likes me, then I won’t be the other woman.
Lin Xuan was speechless.
What the hell kind of logic is this?
“Brother Lin Xuan, please get to know me better. You’ll surely discover my good qualities!” Shen Qianqian begged humbly.
Lin Xuan’s voice remained icy, “Shen Qianqian, I’ve already said it, there’s no way we’ll be together. Moreover, I have someone I love, so it’s impossible between us.”
“Even if Hua Bao wasn’t here, I wouldn’t like you.”
Each word from Lin Xuan shattered Shen Qianqian’s hopes.
Shen Qianqian’s expression turned vacant.
Lin Xuan stood up, “Beating you today is a warning. If you dare to continue纠缠me, I will make sure your life becomes worse than death.”
Having said that, Lin Xuan turned around.
Expressionless, he ordered, “Throw her back to the Shen family.”
“Brother Lin Xuan!” Shen Qianqian screamed in despair, “You can’t treat me like this, Brother Lin Xuan!”
Lin Xuan disappeared.
Shen Qianqian lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
The two black-suited bodyguards watched this scene and felt satisfied.
Serves her right!
They grabbed Shen Qianqian, dragging her out of the factory and shoving her into a car.
—
Night Garden.
Su Hua kept glancing at the clock on the wall. It was already eight o’clock, and Ah Xuan still hadn’t returned.
Su Hua tightly pressed her lips, radiating an icy aura.
Her whole body exuded dissatisfaction.
Jiang Qing, who was reporting work, trembled.
Su Zong had been in a great mood these past few days, but today, with Young Master Lin absent, Su Zong’s mood turned sour, and Jiang Qing happened to catch the brunt of it.
Jiang Qing started praying for Lin Xuan to return quickly.
As long as Young Master Lin came back, Su Zong’s mood would improve instantly.
While Jiang Qing was halfway through her report, she received a call. She glanced at the caller ID.
“Su Zong, I’ll take this call.”
Jiang Qing took her phone outside. She wouldn’t answer any random calls, but this was from the bodyguard Su Zong assigned to protect Young Master Lin, so she had to answer immediately.
Upon hearing the content of the call, Jiang Qing’s eyes widened in surprise.
She returned to Su Hua’s study.
“Su Zong, the bodyguard protecting Young Master Lin kidnapped Shen Qianqian.”
—
Shen Qianqian sat on the ground, dragging herself backward. “I’m telling you, if you dare to harm me, my dad will shred you into pieces!”
“Your dad is too busy worrying about himself to care about you.”
The bodyguards weren’t aware of what Su Hua had done to the Shen Group, but based on their master’s nature, since Shen Qianqian dared to repeatedly covet Young Master Lin, Su Hua wouldn’t let their Shen family off easily.
Anyway, others might be negotiable, but Young Master Lin was absolutely their master’s bottom line.
Shen Mao must be panicking like crazy by now.
“Shen Qianqian, enjoy this.”
None of Su Hua’s subordinates were the type to show mercy.
The two bodyguards began punching and kicking Shen Qianqian.
“Aaaaaah—”
Shen Qianqian hugged her head, enduring their relentless punches and kicks.
They were professionally trained and knew exactly where to hit Shen Qianqian without endangering her life, and also where to hit her where she’d suffer the most.
Soon.
Shen Qianqian was covered in injuries, the pain spreading throughout her entire body, making her feel like she was dying.
“Waaaah,” Shen Qianqian cried, begging, “Please, spare me!”
She’d always been pampered by her father, and others feared her identity as Miss Shen. She’d never been beaten like this before.
It really hurt.
The two black-suited bodyguards got their fill of beating her. When they thought it was about time, they stopped.
“Clang.”
The iron gate of the abandoned factory opened, and a tall, handsome man walked in.
Shen Qianqian, lying on the ground, looked up.
Her eyes lit up, and her heart raced.
It was Brother Lin Xuan!
He came to save her!
So, Brother Lin Xuan still cared about her. He was only acting cold earlier because of that woman.
Maybe this injury could be a good opportunity to get closer to Brother Lin Xuan.
She considered herself lucky in misfortune.
After all, these people were sent by that woman to deal with her. She could expose the woman’s true colors to Brother Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan walked into the abandoned factory with an elegant demeanor, contrasting sharply with the decaying environment.
“Brother Lin Xuan!” Shen Qianqian crawled toward Lin Xuan, tears welling in her eyes. She looked up pitifully, “They beat me, Brother Lin Xuan, please save me!”
“Save you?” Lin Xuan looked down at Shen Qianqian from above, his voice filled with mockery.
Shen Qianqian sensed something was off with Lin Xuan’s emotions.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Why did it feel like Brother Lin Xuan wasn’t here to save her?
No, that couldn’t be right. Why wouldn’t Brother Lin Xuan be here to save her?
“Master Lin,” the two bodyguards removed their masks and sunglasses, bowing respectfully.
“You… you…” Shen Qianqian stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at the bodyguards.
She recognized them—they were the ones who protected Brother Lin Xuan.
How could they…
Realizing something, Shen Qianqian’s face paled. She slowly turned her head toward Lin Xuan.
“Brother Lin Xuan, you…” Shock and disbelief were written all over Shen Qianqian’s face.
No…
