Chapter 21 - You Are 3 Minutes And 46 Seconds Late
"M-Mr. Xu?" Xhi Yuan finally said placing a hand on his stinging cheek. The impact of slap tore off his lip and made his mouth bleed.
"How dare you treat our tenant like that!", Xu Chyngun flared up.
Everyone was taken aback by his sudden outburst. It was known that Xu Chyngun had always shown a lack of interest in his property in this low-cost area. Then why was he now showing such a violent and intense reaction?
"M-Mr. Xu this woman didn't pay the rent and I was only following the right course..."
"Carelessly throwing away her stuff? Is it following the right course? When did my subordinates ever mention something like this in the training!" Xu Chyngun got back a little control over his temper because he wanted to leave a good impression of him on Chen Yi.
But he literally wanted to murder that petty manager who had ruined his whole plan to flatter the future Ms. Li! Now, forget about all the flattering and favors, he could only mitigate the situation so that that tyrant Li Luxian wouldn't kill his entire family for bullying his wife.
"Is this the right way to treat the fairer sex?" He continued in a dead cold tune to give a righteous color to his outburst.
"M-Mr Xu she...", Xi Yuan was at the verge of tears. He could see himself losing his job. What about the job? He could see Mr. Xu getting him under the bars by noticing the amount of wrath he held in his eyes.
At that point, Lui Chao thought it was the right time to intervene.
"Mr. Xu?" She said in her sweet innocent tune. "It is not Mr. Xhi fault. Chen Yi vile actions had caused us all society members to collectively decide to force her to leave"
"Is that so?" Xi Yuan said in an impassive tone. He was a wise man and he had concluded by now that this girl along with some others that were standing by her side might have initiated all this and caused trouble for future Ms. Li. "Who do you think you are to decide who gets to stay in my building."
Lui Chao broke into a cold sweat. She had initially wanted to flatter Xhi Yuan by taking his side. But it looked to her now that Xu Chyngun was in a bad mood to burst on everyone.
Xu Chyngun faced Chen Yi with reverence visible in his course of action.
"Ms. Chen, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my manager. Let me arrange a better place for you as my apology."
Everyone gaped at the scene.
Even if Xhi Yuan did something bad to Chen Yi, wasn't it strange for someone like Xu Chyngun to personally apologize for the loss?
At that moment Xhi Yuan realized one thing. That he was truly done for.
"There is no need...", Chen Yi initiated. To tell the truth, she was herself surprised to know that Mr. Xu spoke up for her. It was no doubt, she was gorgeous. And her looks had been one of her disadvantage over the course of years since she matured. It brought her unwanted jealousy from females as well as unwanted attention that sometimes ended up in harassment by men.
"No, Ms. Chen. I would never be able to have a clear conscience if one of the tenants in a building registered under my name would be mistreated" The politeness in his voice was astounding considering the fine contrast to Xhi Yuan. All those who had previously barked at her, including Lui Chao, felt a rush of horror but no one dared to interrupt Mr. Xu.
"Alright Mr. Xu...", Chen Yi acquiesced because she didn't have a place to go anyway.
Maybe he was a good person and was truly genuine and didn't have any ulterior motives.
"Ms. Chen my men will arrange your stuff in the new apartment. Meanwhile, you can have a rest in the guest room." Xu Chyngun suggested. He was trying hard not to sound too flattering and at the same time leaving a good impression of him on Chen Yi.
If Xu Chyngun acted too polite, it was easy for one to misunderstand his intentions. And Xu Chyngun definitely didn't want that tyrant, Li Luxian, to have a misunderstanding that he held intentions towards his woman!
He didn't want to die!
"There is no need. I was leaving for something."
"Then Ms. Chen you may leave without any worry. By the time you arrive back, everything would be settled."
"I'll have to thank Mr. Xu then." Chen Yi said reluctantly as she quietly walked away from all the crowd to the back of the building. On her way back, she could feel countless dazed and awestruck eyes of aunties on her.
When Chen Yi was gone, Xu Chyngun's facial expressions changed drastically and became terrifying. His eyes were bloodshot with anger. He could see Millions of RMBs slipping through his hands just because of some rascals.
Lui Chao and Xhi Yuan, along with some of her minions were the natural target to take out Mr. Xu wrath.
Xu Chyngun faced Xhi Yuan, "You f**ker! Be ready to meet me in court for breaching the contract and practicing the abuse of power" As he said that, Xu Chyngun men surrounded Xhi Yuan and captured him to take him to police. They hit him on the stomach making him fall on his knees gasping for air.
"And you!" He snarled at Lui Chao. That woman bullied Mr. Li's wife. How could he let her go? "How dare you create trouble in my establishment? What kind of woman are you? Do you have any shame? Could you not mind your own business?"
"Get out of my building right now!, Xu Chyngun shouted at Lui Chao and her minions. "You guys throw their things out. And make sure to break whatever you can!"
"M-Mr. Xu" Lui Chao stuttered as she fearfully stepped back.
Previously didn't that man say that fairer sex should be treated with respect? Then what happened to his philosophy now?!
"What are you all looking for?" Xu Chyngun fumed at the standing crowed jolting everyone out from their stupor. "Now do you also want me to throw your stuff out?" And so everyone scattered.
...
Oblivious to the fate of those who wronged her, Chen Yi merrily walked to the backside of the building. There a black Mercedes rested in its majesty. As Chen Yi approached near the car, she saw her future hubby leaning against the car with a stone face.
Chen Yi had to admit, in his suit, he looked handsome. One couldn't help his eyes that would keep glued to his chiseled face, lean stature and gorgeous looks.
As Chen Yi neared him, he said.
"You are 3 minutes and 46 seconds late"
Chen Yi: "...."
