When Wen Huai saw Hu Ke coming over, she instantly retracted his shrewish attitude and ran over to hold Hu Ke’s hand. “Dear, they’re bullying us!”

The person opposite him was dumbfounded by the speed at which Wen Huai’s expression changed. The first to react was the customer who had been beaten the most miserably.

He pushed away the bodyguard who was pulling him and walked forward. He pulled Hu Ke up from Wen Huai’s side.

“F*ck, you’re her friend? Look at how badly we’ve been beaten!”

Hu Ke staggered when he was pulled. The person was obviously drunk. His tongue was wide open, and his words were unclear, but his grip was not weak. “Look, you’re paying!”

Hu Ke couldn’t be bothered to argue with the drunk man. She struggled, but the drunk man’s grip was surprisingly strong. Hu Ke could not break free for a long time.

Just as Wen Huai was about to call the security guards for help, the drunk troublemaker was suddenly pulled away.

Bai Xiao stared at them unhappily and did not say anything. However, his aura was especially strong. The group of troublemakers had only dared to attack because Hu Ke and Wen Huai were two women. Now that Bai Xiao stood in front of them, the troublemakers did not dare to say anything. They would run when they saw that something was wrong.

“Stop! You haven’t paid the bill! You also have to compensate for the things in my shop!” When Wen Huai saw that they wanted to leave, she immediately got the security guards to block their way. After these people paid, they were permanently blacklisted.

Hu Ke rubbed her wrist that was hurting from the pinch. She was about to thank the kind-hearted man who had helped him when she looked up and realized that it was Bai Xiao.

She looked at the faint red mark on Bai Xiao’s face and did not know what to say.

Bai Xiao also stood awkwardly. When he saw Hu Ke being pestered from his seat, an unknown anger surged in his heart. Before he could think, he went over to help her pull the person away. Now that he came back to his senses, he only regretted his actions.

In the end, he had to rely on Wen Huai to help him out.

Wen Huai did not know that Bai Xiao and Hu Ke knew each other. After settling the mess, she ran over and thanked Bai Xiao sincerely. “Thank you, sir, for helping my sister. She can’t speak, so she didn’t speak for a long time. I’ll thank you on her behalf. Is it convenient for you to tell me your name? In the future, you can come to my place for free.”

Bai Xiao rarely came to the bar, so it was normal that Wen Huai did not know him.

However, this gentleman seemed to be shocked when he heard that Hu Ke could not speak. He quickly composed himself and shook his head at her. “There’s no need. It’s nothing.”

Bai Xiao turned around and was about to leave when Wen Huai secretly memorized the table number he finally sat at and nudged Hu Ke with his arm. “He helped you today. Our respected bartender, do you want to mix a glass of alcohol to express your gratitude?”

Hu Ke pursed her lips. It was impossible to tell what she was planning.

Wen Huai continued to whisper in her ear, “He won’t accept me giving him alcohol permanently for free, but we have to return the favor. I’m begging you, baby. Give me some face. You can try coffee and alcohol!”

Hu Ke could not dissuade her. In addition, she was a little tempted by the final offer. In the end, she mixed a glass of alcohol and asked the waiter to send it over.

At this moment, Bai Xiao was sitting in his seat and being teased by Zhang Rong. “Young Master, why didn’t I know that you liked to save the damsel in distress in the past? Have you taken a fancy to that lady? How does she look? Did you add her contact number?”

“Shut up.” Bai Xiao looked displeased.

He remembered that when Hu Ke lost his temper with him at the villa, he did not say a word and only gestured in sign language.

At that time, he was still angry and did not remember this at all. Now that Wen Huai mentioned it, he realized that his wife was mute.

This realization made Bai Xiao even more frustrated. He did not know if it was because of the guilt he felt for speaking to Hu Ke earlier or because he was angry that he had been tricked by a mute.

At this moment, the waiter came over with two glasses of alcohol. “Sir, to thank you for your bravery tonight, this is the alcohol that our special bartender, Fox, made for you and your friend. Also, tonight’s expenses are free. I wish you a good time.”

The waiter put down the things in his hand and turned to leave, but Zhang Rong’s eyes widened and he lost his voice. “Fox mixed the alcohol? It’s specially made? Bai Xiao, you’re so lucky!”
