Chapter 295 - Let’s Race

Minutes before Zoey stormed her way out of the room. 

"Damn it! I hate that monkey girl!" Kenneth Bai ground his teeth, constantly glaring daggers at the door behind them. 

"Brother Matt will surely kill me this time!" Kenneth Bai ruffled his hair in distress. 

"You're still finished even if your plans weren't spoilt by her. Do you think you can get away with it after drugging Big Brother Matt?" Lucas Xi gave him a side eye, shaking his head in disbelief as this logic didn't seem to cross Kenneth Bai's small head. 

"Damn you, Lu! I was forced to do it, alright?! It was Auntie Xi's idea and she's got my back!" Proud, Kenneth Bai retorted as he vented his frustration on Lucas Xi. 

"You can end up in jail." Despite the explanation, Lucas Xi shrugged his shoulder as he answered in a matter-of-fact tone. 

"F*ck!" Kenneth Bai messed his hair again, having the urge to tear his scalp apart because Lucas Xi was once again using his legal education to argue with him. 

Of course, Kenneth Bai knew that! What he was doing has a risk knowing Matthew Xi. However, Kenneth Bai was the actual victim here! Why? Because the one who asked this 'important' favor was none other than the queen dowager Vivian Xi. 

While Kenneth Bai threw a huge fit, Lucas Xi glanced at Enzo Li who was silent since earlier. "Hey," He called out in a low tone, snapping his tongue to get Enzo Li's attention. 

"Ow?" Enzo Li snapped from his trance, shifting his attention to his cousin. 

"F*cker," Lucas Xi stared at Enzo Li for a good ten seconds before he chuckled and cursed. "Don't tell me you fell in love at first sight?" Without further ado, Lucas Xi teased as Enzo Li seemed a little out of it since he laid his eyes on Zoey. 

"In love, what?!" Upon hearing that harmless accusation, Kenneth Bai gasped in disbelief as he gazed at Enzo Li in disdain. "You set your bar way too low man." He berated, utterly disgusted at Enzo Li and his taste!

"What? No!" When Enzo Li realized that his emotions were very clear on the surface, he denied without batting an eye. However, although his expression changed, the redness at the tip of his ears betrayed him. 

"Damn... there's something wrong with your eyes." Kenneth Bai clicked his tongue continuously in disappointment. Sure, Zoey wasn't ugly. 

Matter of fact, she was indeed very pretty despite having no makeup. However, her personality was just too wild which was a turn off. At the very least, for Kenneth Bai, it was a turn off. 

For him, girls should be delicate and reserved. They should be protected from harm. But for Zoey, there's no need to protect her! Whoever that dates her would need to be more concerned about their lives as she was akin to a crazy gangster!

"Eh? I think I'm sort of interested in her too. Should I help her while Big Brother Matt interrogates her?" On the other hand, Lucas Xi rubbed his chin as he pondered. 

Despite being aware that Enzo Li was interested in Zoey, that wasn't enough for Lucas Xi to stop himself from speaking his mind. After all, Zoey was a rare find and she seemed to be a fun person. 

Lucas Xi had always been in a serious environment. Therefore, having someone unpredictable as his company seemed to be a good idea to destress. 

"God... there's really something wrong with your eyes." Kenneth Bai was nearly lost in words with Lucas Xi's last remarks. Was he the only one who found Zoey pretty troublesome?

Well, it makes sense. After all, these men only watched while Zoey shook him by the collar! On the other hand, Kenneth Bai had estimated that the lady got brawn. 

A normal lady who was just pretending to be gutsy wouldn't be able to inflict this much rage from Kenneth Bai. But, Zoey hurt him slightly! Enough reason for Kenneth Bai to fume in anger. 

Just then, the door inside opened abruptly. The three men who stayed outside —bantering, unconsciously turned their heads towards the door. Their gaze immediately landed on Zoey who bore nothing but negativity. 

None of the three expected that Zoey and Matthew Xi were dating from this moment onwards. After all, they just assumed that Matthew Xi interrogated Zoey or threatened her! 

That's more plausible than dating. Thus, seeing the unpleasant expression plastered across Zoey's face, they silently believed their assumptions. 

Kenneth Bai scoffed in ridicule. "Hah! You're doomed, eh? That's what you get for barging in a place you shouldn't!" He scorned, placing his knuckles on his hip as he stood proudly as if he was already absolved from his own crimes. 

Meanwhile, Enzo Li's charming eyes were full of worries. Knowing Matthew Xi, he certainly said something that would make this lady unable to sleep at night. 

Enzo Li and Lucas Xi had thought the same. They knew their cousin and how terrifying he could be. Thus, they felt bad for this lady despite having good yet vague intentions. 

In contrast to their thoughts, Zoey was tired of thinking. She had a long day and the twenty-three-year-old Matthew Xi also frustrated her in a way. 

Without further ado, Zoey took large strides forward — straight towards Kenneth Bai. As she approached, Kenneth Bai unconsciously took steps back as her gaze was locked with him. 

"Wha — what now?!" Kenneth Bai stuttered, recalling how rough she was with him earlier. God... Kenneth Bai felt like a child before this lady as she was quite bold and unreserved with her actions. 

Stop torturing him! He's also a victim here! Just seeing Zoey approach him made Kenneth Bai hop off his high-horse. 

Alas, Zoey continued taking strides and then grabbed Kenneth Bai's collar once again. "Come with me, let's race." Zoey didn't stop in her tracks, dragging Kenneth Bai by his collar. 

"Wait! What?! Let me go!" Kenneth Bai gasped in disbelief.. This woman seemed to have grown fond of bullying him! "Help!" In the end, Kenneth Bai could only shout for help as he watched himself getting farther and farther away from the shocked Enzo Li and Lucas Xi.
