601: Chapter 590: A woman like you, I wouldn’t even bother with 601: Chapter 590: A woman like you, I wouldn’t even bother with Qian Xiaorou was in a terrible mood.
Tonight, she had gone out alone, sulking and drinking at a bar.
However, instead of feeling better after getting drunk, her mood worsened because someone tried to take advantage of her.
And that wasn’t all, although she had fought off the scoundrel trying to harass her, she went too far, and things escalated.
Even though Qian Xiaorou walked away quickly afterwards, the alcohol slowed her down and she wasn’t far before they caught up with her.
As the daughter of Qian Nengde, when had she ever been treated like this?
A bunch of street thugs actually dared to surround her, and what’s more, they were planning to do something even more outrageous.
However, no matter how angry and disgusted she felt, it couldn’t change the fact that she would be humiliated if no one came to help her.
Just when Qian Xiaorou was close to despair, the very source of her irritation showed up.
Seeing Ning Fan appear, Qian Xiaorou felt relief at being saved, but at the same time, her gaze towards Ning Fan was filled with fury.
This fury, when sensed by Ning Fan, left him unclear why Qian Xiaorou was so angry at him.
But he didn’t have the luxury of time to delve into this matter—he had to take care of the thugs who were planning to lay their hands on Qian Xiaorou.
“You’re looking for death!”
Seeing Ning Fan take action and knock one of their brothers to the ground, the group of thugs was infuriated.
Ning Fan didn’t utter another word, grabbed a person, and promptly twisted his arm until it broke.
“Aaaah!”
Another person hit the ground, and the surrounding thugs froze, gaping at Ning Fan in disbelief.
They hadn’t expected him to be so decisive and ruthless.
For a moment, the thugs were covered in goosebumps, all wanting to beat a retreat.
But Ning Fan had no intention of letting these scumbags off the hook.
Seeing them scared stiff, he wasted no time on words as his fists and slaps greeted them promptly.
There were incessant screams, and a few bloodied teeth danced in the air.
Ning Fan was extremely violent; at least three people lying on the ground had their arms or legs broken by him.
“Mercy, good sir, mercy!”
“Spare me, please, spare me, hero!”
“I was wrong, we were wrong, please spare us!”
It didn’t take long before the initially arrogant bunch of thugs were all kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy, terrified by Ning Fan’s methods.
Having roamed this area for so long, they had never encountered someone as fierce as Ning Fan; his strikes broke arms or legs, and within the blink of an eye, several of their brothers were down on the ground.
Faced with such a ruthless character as Ning Fan, the group’s nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was instantly revealed.
Watching a bunch of grown men kneeling on the ground, wiping tears and sniffling, Ning Fan felt nothing but disgust.
He gave them a look of loathing and said, “Scram!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“We’ll scram right now, right away!”
“Move it, let’s move!”
The group of people, hearing Ning Fan’s words, scattered like they had just been granted amnesty, helping each other up and hopping away, faster than rabbits.
In just a few moments, they had disappeared from Ning Fan’s sight.
After dealing with the crowd, Ning Fan dusted off his hands and then walked over to Qian Xiaorou.
Standing in the corner, Qian Xiaorou not only did not come forward to thank him but instead shouted at him with disapproval, “Even if you came to help, is it any of your business?
Why do you care?!
Who are you to me?
What does my business have to do with you?!”
Rendered speechless by her shouting, Ning Fan stopped in his tracks and looked at Qian Xiaorou with a dark expression.
So he was meddling?
He had come with good intentions to help Qian Xiaorou out of trouble, only to be yelled at in return.
Ning Fan felt bitter, and his face darkened immediately.
Qian Xiaorou’s attitude was just too bad!
Qian Xiaorou, with a face full of displeasure and Ning Fan’s expression equally grim, suddenly felt a surge of anger inside him.
He glared back at her and said, “If it wasn’t out of respect for your father, do you think I would have bothered?
Do you think I care to help someone like you?
Women like you, I couldn’t care less about!”
Qian Xiaorou was good-looking, born with natural beauty, from a distinguished family, a treasured daughter with a unique demeanor.
But her attitude made Ning Fan feel no affection at all.
To Ning Fan, she could only be described as a shrew at this moment.
“Then don’t bother, if you don’t care, why show up?
Can’t you just pretend you didn’t see?
Even if you hadn’t come, my dad wouldn’t know.
Whose face are you trying to save?”
Qian Xiaorou’s eyes were red, as she glared and shouted at Ning Fan, her voice tinged with grievance and a hint of crying.
She felt aggrieved by Ning Fan’s words.
Since she was little, no one had dared to talk to her as Ning Fan had.
Her father was Qian Nengde, a figure those so-called bigshots sought to ingratiate themselves with.
“Yeah, right, I should have ignored it, it would have been better to watch you being abused by those thugs.
Perhaps you would have preferred that!”
Ning Fan was utterly unsparing, leaving Qian Xiaorou gasping for breath, her eyes now thoroughly red.
She was pouting in silent anger, staring at Ning Fan and so furious she couldn’t utter a word, tears beginning to swirl in her eyes.
“To come here alone, just say what you wanted to do!”
By this time, Ning Fan was not going to bother with whatever issues Qian Xiaorou had.
He had come with the good intention of rescuing someone.
The fact that she was ungrateful was one thing, but to lash out when he got angry, that was beyond reason!
Qian Xiaorou, not speaking, looked at Ning Fan with a mix of grievance and suppressed anger.
She turned her head away, not wanting to look at his face.
Her disdain for Ning Fan had just escalated further.
She genuinely couldn’t understand what was so good about Ning Fan that her father, Qian Nengde, insisted on her getting close to him.
Because of this, she had a full-blown argument with Qian Nengde tonight, which led to her storming out to the bar to drown her sorrows alone.
Qian Nengde wanted to curry favor with Ning Fan; Qian Xiaorou didn’t care, but why should she be the one sacrificed?
Fed up with Qian Nengde’s decision, Qian Xiaorou finally erupted, arguing with him earlier in the evening and then, in a huff, running out to the bar to drink sullenly.
“I’m drowning my sorrows, what’s it to you!”
Qian Xiaorou sniffled, her nose red, trying hard to keep the tears in her eyes from falling.
She didn’t want to cry in front of Ning Fan and give him the satisfaction of seeing her weakness, which would only make him more smug.
“Drowning your sorrows?
Alone?
Where are your bodyguards?”
Ning Fan’s anger gradually subsided, and he didn’t want to argue with the girl any longer.
He just wanted to let Qian Xiaorou know that it was not safe for a girl to come to such a place alone.
If he hadn’t been there today, Qian Xiaorou could have really suffered.
It wouldn’t matter how powerful Qian Xiaorou’s family was; in a situation like this, without bringing her own bodyguards, the potential dangers could be unimaginable!
