Chapter 643 - I Want to Protect You

Yue Pengcheng kicked Ding Fu. “You filthy whore, you better be a good girl and serve me well from now on. I can still put food on your table for a few days, otherwise… Hmph…”

Yue Pengcheng pulled up his pants. He was then reminded of the wounds on his knees. Limping, he headed toward the door to buy some Band-Aid downstairs.

To his surprise, the moment he opened the door, a gang of four or five men blocked his path.

These men were all guests in the inn. From their appearance alone, one could tell they were not good men. They grabbed Yue Pengcheng and dragged him into the corridor.

Ever since Yue Pengcheng got ‘kidnapped’ by Yan Qingsi, he had been traumatized and lived in fear. Seeing the gang of men surrounding him, he was scared out of his wits and could do nothing but stutter.

“What… What do you all want?”

One of the men took the lead and commented, “Your wife sure can scream.”

Yue Pengcheng was trembling in fear. “Good… Good sir, that is not my wife— she’s just a whore…”

Seeing Yue Pengcheng’s terrified manner, the men did not even need to threaten him. One of them said, “Since she’s a whore, why are you still providing for her? Are you that rich? If you are, why are you living in this dump… Why don’t you let us have some fun? And you… can earn some money too… Maybe buy yourself a beer.”

As he talked, he fished out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket. It was a very old bill — all crumpled and soiled.

Yue Pengcheng’s face was blanched. He did not expect that this was the men’s intentions…

Yue Pengcheng’s thoughts ran wild. He thought that he had wasted so much on this good-for-nothing slut. Since he had been cheated on for so long already, he had no dignity left to lose.

Before he could answer, the man pressured. “Think this through thoroughly. Do you want this money or not? Otherwise, once we kick down that door and barge in, you won’t get the money anymore.”

A few seconds later, Yue Pengcheng pulled out a key from his pocket and handed it to them. “Go ahead…”

Not long after, Ding Fu’s loud shriek sounded from within the room. It was only one shout, then she went silent.

…

In the hotel, Yan Qingsi handed Mrs. Yue a slice of watermelon.

“Auntie Yue, since you’re well now, why don’t you return home first? After all, this is a hotel— it’s not a good place to rest and recover. Besides, I’m almost done with my shoot.”

The real reason Yan Qingsi wanted her to go home was that she had important business to take care of, which could be dangerous— she did not want Mrs. Yue to become entangled in it.

Additionally, Mrs. Yue would truly be better off recovering at home. Although her wound has healed, she was still weak. The doctor instructed her to rest for at least a month.

Yue Tingfeng agreed with her. After all, Mrs. Yue was his mother— naturally, he would want the best for her.

Mrs. Yue replied, “But I…”

Yue Tingfeng put his arm around Mrs. Yue’s shoulders.

“Ma, there’s still so much time in the future— whatever it is that you wanted to do, we can still do it next time, right?”

Mrs. Yue pondered upon it— if she had stayed in Tian Hai city, she would only be a burden to them. Thus, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll go home by myself first.”

Mrs. Yue had planned to let Yan Qingsi meet her parents. She was confident that when her stubborn parents meet Yan Qingsi, they will definitely like her.

Yan Qingsi frowned. “How can we let that happen? Of course, we will send you home. How can you leave on your own? Not to mention…”

Yan Qingsi shot Yue Tinfeng a scornful glare. “He has left the company for so long… it’s about time he goes back. Even if he’s the boss, he still needs to go to work. If he doesn’t work, if he doesn’t earn, how can he put food on our table?”
