138 ARE YOU CURSING ME?

When Hu Lei stepped out of the hospital building, she was immediately approached by a strange man, perhaps in his mid-fifties. He had sparse greying hair and a huge belly. Moreover, he walked like he owned the world and looked at Hu Lei up and down with contempt.

Hu Lei felt speechless as she stared at this person standing in her path. He obviously looked down on her. Why would he come close to her?

"Miss Hu, you are a hard woman to find." He finally spoke when Hu Lei attempted to pass by him.

She looked at him for a few seconds before she had a moment of realisation. She sighed in her heart. She really should never have left the house this morning. It was obvious that she had been cursed the previous night.

Otherwise, why would everything go wrong since she stepped out? If she had known that things would turn out this way, she would have spent the entire day reading or streaming something funny. Now, it was too late for regrets.

"I do try to be a low profile person. The world is not a safe place for a beautiful girl like me." She responded with a lifted brow, not taking the portly man seriously.

The man felt that this girl was not following the script. Shouldn't she ask who he was? It would make the conversation difficult if she did not know him. She was obviously treating him like a common pervert.

"You… do you know who I am?" He asked with anger.

"Mmmh, I don't. Are you famous?" She asked with a smile.

She really did not know him, but she had already made some guesses on his identity. However, she was not one to give in to bullies. At the very least, he had to suffer some losses. If he had directly spoken about his purpose instead of looking at her like trash and attempting to flex reputation before her, she would have been more agreeable.

"You… you will anger me to death." The fat man's face turned red as he became furious.

"Oh, then it's good that we are on hospital grounds. The doctors here are exceptional. As long as you have a single breath left, they can pull you back from the other side." She complimented generously. After all, she had personally experienced the power of this hospital.

The bulky man could not believe that he was losing to this slip of a girl in a verbal war. He was obviously an experienced lawyer who was held in high esteem in Supreme City and the rest of the country. However, he was losing out in debate to this common girl. How could he face his peers?

"I will be going now. Make sure that you get checked out in the hospital soon. Otherwise, you might not have long to live with your high blood pressure and clogged arteries." She advised with a sincere smile.

With that, she stepped around him and kept walking. She felt that she had done her good service for the day. Her karma seemed to be bad lately, so she needed to turn her luck around. If she was not wrong, this man was most likely suffering from peripheral vascular disease. She could tell from his gait that his legs were numb and weak.

"You… are you cursing me to an early death?" He panted walking after her.

Hu Lei felt that this person was not too smart. He obviously approached her for a reason. However, with a few words, she was able to completely turn his attention from his mission. It seemed that those who sent him were looking down on her.

When Beatrice saw her little boss coming, she immediately stepped out of the vehicle with a smile. But when she saw the strange man behind her following closely, her smile changed, and her face was filled with caution and vigilance.

"Miss Hu, who is this person following behind you?" She asked, stepping forward to shield Hu Lei behind her.

Hu Lei looked at Beatrice with amusement. Did she look like she needed shielding? Still, she felt a little gratified about this matter. It seemed that keeping her around was not a mistake.

"Who knows?" She shrugged carelessly.

Beatrice realised that this man was not a threat. Nevertheless, she found him to be an eyesore. More importantly, he dared chase after her adorable boss. He was clearly overestimating himself.

"Miss Hu, you should be careful about strangers these days. Who knows what people will do to a cute girl like you? We should leave as fast as possible." Beatrice looked at the pot-bellied man with contempt.

He became livid as he was once again labelled a pervert. He was obviously a respectable member of the society. But these two girls obviously did not respect him. He felt stifled. They needed to understand that he was not a simple man.

"Don't even think about leaving the hospital grounds without my permission." He spoke panting lightly.

He had intended to intimidate Hu Lei without using the power of the Zhong family. He had thought that his personal authority would be enough. However, it seemed that she did not put him in her eyes. She could only blame herself for what was coming.

Hu Lei paused just as she was about to step into the vehicle and looked at him. There was a flash of triumph in the man's eyes. He seemed to be savouring his victory. Hu Lei smiled at him sweetly, but for some reason, it caused him to take a step back in fear.

"Don't forget my advice, uncle. Or else, you might be too late." She waved cheekily at him. "Let's go, Beatrice."

With that, she entered the beautiful luxury vehicle and closed the door. Beatrice also got in and immediately drove to the gate. Outside, the round man ran unsteadily to the gate while shouting to the guards to stop them.

However, the towering gate still opened smoothly, and the guards pretended not to have heard the strained shouts from the panting man. It was not that they did not recognise him. After all, he was a prominent person associated with the Zhong family.

But his importance was too low in comparison to the Young Master. If they offended the young lady, they knew that they would not last for another day. They had seen how much the Young Master doted on her when he brought her to hospital.

The strained man finally reached the gate with difficulty. He looked at the stone-faced guards with annoyance.

"Didn't you hear me calling out for you to block that vehicle?" He shouted with unconcealed rage.

The superior among the shift guards stepped forward.

"I apologise, Mr Chu Fu. However, we cannot block Young Master Zhong's personal car." The guard spoke steadily, unafraid of the round man.

Chu Fu collapsed to his knees suddenly. The guards looked at him dismay. Was stopping the vehicle so important that he would forsake his dignity and kneel at the gates? It would not be too difficult to see the young lady as long as he called the young master.

"What are you looking at? Call a doctor immediately." Chu Fu shouted angrily and with panic, overwhelmed by the crippling pain in his legs.
