"Mm."
Upon seeing Qiu Wenxing, Chu He gave a slight nod, acknowledging him.
"Miss, what did you just say? Who doesn't put the Chu family in their eyes?"
After a brief exchange with Qiu Wenxing, Chu He turned his attention to Zhang Ying beside him.
During the phone call earlier, he had heard Qiu Wenxing claim that the other party didn't respect the Chu family and he had initially thought Qiu Wenxing was exaggerating in his eagerness for revenge.
However, upon arriving at the scene, he actually heard such a statement!
"Young Master Chu, this is a misunderstanding!"
Seeing Chu He's attention shift directly to Zhang Ying, Zhou Qing became anxious.
In her opinion, she was the one who had caused all this trouble today. If this Chu He were to get displeased and target Zhang Ying and Lin Chen, she would be truly at fault.
"Oh? A misunderstanding? Miss, who are you?"
Chu He was taken aback.
He had been quite smitten when he first saw Zhang Ying. He never expected to encounter two stunning beauties of different styles in his mall on the same day.
What incredible luck had he stumbled upon today?
"Sister, we..."
"Oh, Lin Chen, don't speak. Let me handle this."
Lin Chen was about to say something when Zhou Qing interrupted him.
She knew Lin Chen was wealthy and influential in Zhejiang province, but this was Beichuan, their territory.
The Chu family's origins were in bars and nightclubs, their background was certainly not clean.
Given Lin Chen's current temperament, if a few words were misplaced and he truly angered this Young Master Chu, anything could happen.
"Young Master Chu, I am the Vice President of Zhejiang Shanling Group. My name is Zhou Qing."
"This matter today is an internal conflict within our company."
"This President Qiu, here, used his authority to threaten female subordinates. His behavior was despicable, and we, along with headquarters, have just fired him."
"But he refused to accept it and contacted you, Young Master Chu, adding insult to injury and slandering us."
"I believe Young Master Chu is not a fool and wouldn't be deceived by Qiu Wenxing's one-sided story, would you?"
Zhou Qing spoke neither subserviently nor arrogantly, her words covering all angles.
She not only shifted all blame onto Qiu Wenxing but also indicated that this was an internal matter, making it highly inappropriate for Chu He to intervene.
Most importantly, while explaining the situation, she subtly flattered Chu He, effectively cornering him.
If Chu He were to genuinely help Qiu Wenxing now, wouldn't that indirectly prove that Chu He was an idiot who easily believed one-sided accounts?
"Hehehehe, President Zhou, what sharp words!"
Upon hearing Zhou Qing's words, Chu He narrowed his eyes, a look of admiration in them.
This woman was not simple!
"Brother Chu, don't listen to him. Regardless of what happened, you heard them say they didn't put the Chu family in their eyes, right?"
"Your bodyguards are all witnesses!"
"Brother Chu, look, they've insulted the Chu family like this. Clearly, they don't respect you!"
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Qiu Wenxing quickly stepped forward to persuade.
"Yes, Miss Zhou, the beautiful lady just now personally said they didn't put our Chu family in their eyes. Is that also a misunderstanding?"
Hearing Qiu Wenxing's words, Chu He gave a cold smile.
Indeed, as Qiu Wenxing said, no matter what happened earlier, if someone insulted the Chu family, it was absolutely unacceptable!
Especially when the speaker was such a delicate and beautiful woman, he needed an excuse to get closer.
Such a beauty, with her demeanor, appearance, and figure, he had rarely encountered in his life!
All the former campus belles, celebrities, and internet personalities paled in comparison to these two women!
Especially the woman who had just claimed not to put the Chu family in their eyes, she exuded an ethereal aura.
This feeling was hard to describe but incredibly alluring!
"No, Young Master Chu, this is truly a misunderstanding."
Hearing Chu He's words, Zhou Qing kept trying to explain.
"Alright, Sister, you don't need to say anything to him. Can't you see he's deliberately looking for trouble?"
Lin Chen chuckled coldly and stepped forward.
Ever since this Chu He appeared, his eyes had not strayed from the crucial parts of Zhou Qing and Zhang Ying.
As a man, how could he not understand what he was thinking?
"Brother Chu, it's him. He's incredibly arrogant. He said your Chu family is nothing!"
Seeing Lin Chen step forward with sharp words, Qiu Wenxing immediately seized the opportunity to spread more venom.
"Oh? Kid, you're quite arrogant!"
Chu He's face turned equally cold.
"You should be well aware of the kind of person your friend is. Are you sure you want to protect him today?"
Lin Chen stared directly at Chu He, showing no intention of backing down.
He had no particular enmity with the Chu family, but if they insisted on siding with Qiu Wenxing, then this matter today would not end peacefully!
This Chu He didn't seem like a typical spoiled rich kid.
How could he not know Qiu Wenxing's true nature?
"Hmph, kid, no matter what you say, Qiu Wenxing is my man."
"You insult the Chu family, and you deserve to die!"
"Now, all three of you, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and perhaps I'll be in a good mood and let you go."
"Otherwise, I'll throw you into the Beichuan River to feed the fish!"
Chu He's face was filled with murderous intent as he threatened Lin Chen.
He was the eldest son of the Chu family. Although the Chu family had "cleaned up" their act, they still had a considerable amount of unsavory assets.
Because of this, it was much easier for him to deal with someone than for others!
He swore that he would have these two women!
"Just you?"
"Feel free to try and make a move."
Lin Chen smiled, a smile of utter contempt.
He had thought the Chu family was formidable, but in the end, they were just ordinary people.
"Good kid, you guys, go up and cripple his limbs. I'll see how tough he can be then!"
Chu He was thoroughly enraged and directly ordered the bodyguards beside him.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Upon receiving Chu He's command, four bodyguards in black immediately pulled out their batons and surrounded Lin Chen.
"Kid, if you have to blame anyone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have. Keep your eyes open in your next life!"
The leader of the bodyguards raised his baton.
The four of them were professionally trained bodyguards. Dealing with such a frail and effeminate young man was a sure win for them!
