The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 20 - 17 If You Want to Thank Someone, Thank Miss Hua

Hua Xiaomo’s brows tightened upon hearing, her eyes sinking with a complex expression.

Qi Longbing elegantly raised his glass with one hand, his handsome face bearing a smile. While looking at Yin Chenbai, his peripheral vision had already fully captured Hua Xiaomo’s current expression.

"Whether it’s junk or treasure, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you and your mother will no longer be able to meddle," Qi Longbing said with a sinister gentleness. An aura of devilish charm was especially evident in those deep blue eyes, as vast as the ocean abyss.

Qi Longbing’s words immediately caused a subtle change in Yin Chenbai’s slick and powdered face.

What does this mean? Hua Xiaomo listened to the conversation between the two. Clearly, Yin Chenbai still doesn’t know I’m Hua Renda’s daughter. Well, it doesn’t matter whether he knows or not.

But could there be more to the Qi Family’s acquisition of the Hua Clan? Otherwise, why would these two be having such a conversation?

If the Hua Clan hadn’t been acquired by the Qi Family, what would their future hold?

Thinking of these interconnected issues, her head began to ache slightly. However, regardless, the fact remained unequivocal: the Hua Clan had been acquired by the Qi Family.

A pair of amber eyes revealed a trace of worry, and the dialogue between the two men still floated to her ears, pricking Hua Xiaomo with each word.

"HEH... President Qi’s methods are indeed brilliant..." Yin Chenbai feigned calmness with a forced laugh. The underlying implications in Qi Longbing’s words compelled him to ponder further.

Could it be he already knows about our vendetta with the Hua Clan? It’s so frustrating! Just when we could have completely wiped out that "Mouse" Hua Renda, he somehow managed to escape to the Qi Family’s "great granary."

Destroying the Hua Clan would be easy, but toppling the "Qi Imperial Court" is another level of difficulty entirely.

Qi Longbing laughed softly, his gaze drifting to the final strike on the stage, his lips curling into an even more mocking sneer. "My methods... are not something just anyone is qualified to experience. You should consider yourself lucky."

Qi Longbing stood up, his stunning, sculpted face adorned with a touch of indifferent coldness. "It seems this battle can be brought to an early end. Your ’Super Mario’ is just as pathetic as your ’Bunny Girl’..."

His biting and harsh words hung in the air, casting a chill over everyone present.

As expected, the opponent’s "Super Mario" was knocked down on the stage, so bruised and swollen he couldn’t even crawl up. Meanwhile, in the luxurious booth, the opponent’s "Bunny Girl" Ye Xiangxue, holding a newly served whole bottle of Whiskey, was so scared her knees weakened, her hands trembling non-stop.

"I-I-I..." Bunny Girl Ye Xiangxue turned ashen and knelt with a thud before Yin Chenbai, pleading, "Please, I beg you, Master Yin, spare me... I beg you, spare me... I really can’t drink anymore..."

Yin Chenbai, already fuming, turned even angrier upon hearing this, his face darkening with indignation. "HMPH, I spent a fortune to keep you, and now you’re telling me you can’t drink?"

"Too late! If you’ve got the nerve, vomit back up the hundreds of thousands, even millions, I gave you! Otherwise... even if you leave lying down tonight, you will drink for me! I, Master Yin, cannot afford to lose face!!" Yin Chenbai said cruelly.

Amongst dueling tycoons, it was intolerable if someone beneath them botched the proceedings.

At this moment, listening from the side, Hua Xiaomo furrowed her brow. Although she had won, she too had drunk quite a bit of champagne and felt a bit dizzy. But witnessing the scene of intimidation and terror before her, she sobered up significantly.

She saw the "Bunny Girl" kneeling on the ground with a flushed face, her hands trembling as she hesitated for several moments before tearfully lifting the bottle of whiskey from the table, about to pour it down her throat.

Suddenly, a pair of arms swiftly snatched the bottle of whiskey from her hands. Hua Xiaomo looked at Ye Xiangxue, her brows tightly furrowed, and scolded, "You’re still going to drink? If you drink any more, you’ll lose your life!"

Ye Xiangxue couldn’t help but burst into tears.

For a moment, the scene turned rather bizarre. The sound of the girl’s sobs lingered in the air, as she consciously or unconsciously tried to evoke the sympathy of the wealthy men present.

Unfortunately, the hearts of most wealthy people are harder than diamonds, colder than ice.

"HMPH! Such is her fate! Sometimes... one must accept one’s fate!" a voice came through coldly, disdain dripping from Yin Chenbai’s slick and powdered face.

"Accept fate? Accept your fate, my foot!" Hua Xiaomo rebuked sharply, pulling Ye Xiangxue up and whispering comfortingly, "Don’t be afraid; with me here, he wouldn’t dare do anything."

Ye Xiangxue looked at Hua Xiaomo with gratitude, sniffling. But I’m also just a "Bunny Girl," she thought. "How can she save me? I have a contract with Yin Chenbai; it’s practically a deed of servitude." freewebnøvel_com

Hua Xiaomo nodded at her, then glared disdainfully at Yin Chenbai. "What’s so great about having money? You think you can be lawless just because you’re rich?"

Then, with a provocative look, Hua Xiaomo held the bottle of whiskey tightly and said coldly, "I don’t care if you’re a ’First Young Master’ or ’Second Young Master,’ whether you’re from the legitimate world or the shadows; if... you can drink down a bottle of whiskey, I, Hua Xiaomo, will join you for a bottle. Otherwise, don’t ask us women to do what you men cannot do!"

At this moment, the wickedly handsome face of the man beside her held a smile of unrestrained mirth. However, Qi Longbing did not immediately speak, still looking on as if watching a show.

"You... you’ve got some nerve, lecturing me, this young master? Who on earth are you?" Yin Chenbai’s slick, powdered face now looked particularly unsightly. He hadn’t expected a mere girl by Qi Longbing’s side to dare contradict him like this!

Hua Xiaomo planted one foot on the coffee table and sneered, "Who am I? Open your donkey eyes and see clearly: I am Hua Xiaomo!"

"Hua Xiaomo..." Yin Chenbai was taken aback. He remembered the names of the three precious daughters of the Hua ’Mouse’ family... So, she’s that Hua Mouse’s illegitimate daughter?

To think he’d let her escape at the Haosheng Rose Hotel, only to run into her here!

Qi Longbing watched Hua Xiaomo’s ferocious appearance and couldn’t help but think of the moment he had collided with her. She had been just as aggressive then—a very particular feeling surged in his mind.

"Yu Bao... go get a bottle of water," Qi Longbing’s voice was very calm, yet it carried an air of undeniable authority.

"Yes." Yu Bao quickly called a servant, who brought a bottle of water over. He handed it to Ye Xiangxue. "Take this."

"Thank you, thank you... Thank you, President Qi, for sparing my life..." Ye Xiangxue clutched the bottle of water tightly, at a loss for words, tears streaming down her face non-stop.

Qi Longbing glanced at her, his voice as faint as a wisp of smoke. "If you’re going to thank someone, thank Miss Hua. I’ve never had any compassion."
