Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 735 Fat slap across the face

Chapter 735 Fat slap across the face

Xu Long stares down at Wei Hongyi then scratch the back of his head. He did slam his forehead against the man's, but he didn't even use that much force. Could it be that Wei Hongyi is really that weak?
However, he doesn't dwell too much on the thought and shrugs it off.
He raises his right leg and gently kicks the unconscious man with light taps.
"Wow, for someone who talks high and mighty, you sure are weak."
His words fell in mocking that could taunt anyone who heard. However, none of his words entered the target's ears as Wei Hongyi remained sprawled on the ground like a lifeless doll.
Zhao Ya'Er pokes her head out from behind Xu Long. When she saw Wei Hongyi, she gasps and covers her mouth.
"Is… Is he dead?"
Her voice brought Xu Long back to his usual self. He smoothly spun around to face her and blocks her view of Wei Hongyi.
"He's not dead, just sleeping."
"Hey! What's going on here?!"
Just when Xu Long's words fell, a raging voice roars from behind him. He turns his head to the person while Zhao Ya'Er looks ahead.
They were greeted by a group consisting of five men.
Each person was clothed in extravagant attire and held their own charm. The air they carried was enough to let others know that they are spoilt brats from prominent families.
Xu Long slightly furrow his brows and recognized all five men. Especially two of them as they were none other than Xu You and Gao Lan. The two men, who were there the night his boss paid Wei Hongyi a little visit.
Unlike the assistant, Zhao Ya'Er's complexion turned white. These men were ill-tempered just like Wei Hongyi. It was also the reason why they all got along.
A man wearing a white suit walks over to Wei Hongyi's unconscious body and crouch down. His eyes flash dangerously, and he glares up at Xu Long.
"Did you do this to our friend?"
When he got a better look at Xu Long, a realization came to him. Xu Long is one of the men they have been looking for since the incident at the nightclub, Spring.
After knocking Wei Hongyi out that night, their men had chased after the two anonymous men, but they returned to report that another man saved the two bastards and escaped.
Xu Long meets the man's eyes without any intention of backing down. He was also unaware of the man's thoughts on him because that night at Spring, he was too drunk to remember much.
However, noticing the man's intense gaze on him, he looks left then right.
He frowns then looks up then down. His frown deepens and he turns to look behind him.
Maybe there's someone else here.
No, it's only Zhao Ya'Er standing behind him.
His frown deepens and he looks back at the man. Seeing all five pairs of eyes on him, he smiles awkwardly at them.
"Um, don't worry, I only put him to sleep."
Putting on a weak and pathetic appearance, he ushers Zhao Ya'Er towards the direction of his parked car. As he did this, he doesn't forget to take hold of her hand and whispers.
"We should leave before something bad happens."
Zhao Ya'Er was struck speechless by him. Not at his sudden change in behavior or words, but by the fact that he had suddenly held her hand.
She stares blankly up at him and felt like time had slowed down and left them to be the only two people still alive.
Ever since her relationship with Wei Hongyi, no man has ever stood up for her. Even she was beaten near death, none of his friends thought to step in. Every one of them turned a blind eye and pretended that she didn't exist.
Of course, she could have told her family and easily have the problem dealt with. However, she was born into a strong family. She didn't want them to see her as a weak person, who always had to depend on their help.
"Stop! Who said you can leave?!"
Another man shouts after Xu Long and Zhao Ya'Er when he saw them leaving. He was the youngest amongst the group and the second most arrogant one behind Wei Hongyi.
He doesn't know who Xu Long is, but he won't let the bastard get away after beating up his friend.
His attention shifts from Xu Long to Zhao Ya'Er. Seeing the two holding hands like lovebirds strolling in the park, he scoffs a sneer.
"Hongyi was right. You are a whore. After using being his woman for so many years, you shamelessly jumped onto the next man you see."
He glances back at Xu Long and sizes the man up and down. Seeing how poorly dressed the assistant was, he laughs in ridicule.
"And here I thought it was some big shot. He turned out to be nobody from a low-born family."
Zhao Ya'Er felt a wave of anger burst inside her. Xu Long had been nothing but good to her. He even stepped in to help her when none of these men did and yet, he is being looked down upon.
She flung her head around to argue back, but Xu Long suddenly stops her by her pulling away. He looks back at the man who had spoken ill of him.
Those harsh words would have angered a person to death, but it had little effect on him.
"Instead of worrying about us, how about you worry about your friend."
Without saying another word, he unlocks the passenger door to his car and helps Zhao Ya'Er inside. Glancing at the men one last time, he smirks tauntingly at them and walks over to the driver's side.
"We'll be on with our way then."
Each person at this moment held an expression of shock upon seeing his orange Audi r8.
When his back turned to them, he didn't forget to thank his lady boss for gifting him this car. He may not have bought the car with his own money, but letting these men see him drive in it was like a fat slap across the face.
As this very car is one that none of them can ever afford, let alone know anyone who will gift it to them.
The young man who had badmouthed Xu Long was quick on his feet again. He rushes after Xu Long without any care that the assistant drove a fancy car.
"Bastard! Get back here and fight us like a man!"
"Stop!!"
Before the young man could take another step, Xu You and Gao Lan stops him. Both men were just as angry as their friends from the humiliation. However, after that dreadful night of being beaten black and blue by Wolf Team, neither wants to experience the pain again.
"Let them go. We need to get Hongyi to the hospital."
Gao Lan squats down to help their unconscious friend up but catching a glimpse of the young man's grim expression, he could guess what he (the young man) was thinking.
"Don't even think about it. That man may be from a low-born family, but he is Lu Tian's assistant. If you still want to live, I suggest you leave him alone."
As many in Imperial know how ruthless Lu Tian can be when it comes to his people. The man will make sure the person who dares to lay a hand on his people leave this world.
The only thing that confuses him (Gao Lan) is how Wei Hongyi can still be alive to this day.
However, what he doesn't know is that Lu Tian is secretly keeping tabs on Wei Hongyi's every move. If he wanted Wei Hongyi dead, one word was all he needed.
The only thing stopping him is his cousin. He is waiting for her to tell him about what the man has done to her.
