Chapter 1762: Kneel, Kowtow, and Apologize
“Be quick, we don’t have time to waste on you!” Chu Peihan lost patience.
Mingzhe was scared by her and got out of the car right away. Because of his big movements, the injuries around his body were pulled open and became very painful, but he had to tolerate it.
Mingzhe clenched his fists tight, and his body was also tightened. He looked at Gu Ning unwillingly, but didn’t dare to do anything to hurt her.
“Do it now, or do you need me to help you?” Chu Peihan threatened him.
Mingzhe stiffened in fear, and had to kneel down before Gu Ning, then he kowtowed and apologized to her.
He felt humiliated more than ever now, but he asked for it himself. In fact, Gu Ning hadn’t done the right thing, because it wasn’t her business at the very beginning. However, it didn’t matter whether it was wrong or right or was her business or not. She had a strong sense of justice, and was willing to help the weak.
Everyone was surprised by the scene, but didn’t think it was too much, because they all heard what Zhang Zikai said. It was obvious that Mingzhe set the bet. Therefore, Mingzhe was paying for his own behavior.
If Gu Ning lost the game, they didn’t think that Mingzhe would let her go. If he had the idea to let Gu Ning go, he wouldn’t have proposed such a dangerous game and the humiliating punishment.
As a result, they thought that Mingzhe was really a coward who tried to take advantage of a girl.
Although Gu Ning was even better than men, Mingzhe obviously didn’t know that. If he had known it, he wouldn’t have dared to try to take advantage of her.
Mingzhe quickly finished the punishment, then stood up and left.
Watching Mingzhe leaving, Gu Ning didn’t bother to stop him, but warned him. “If you want to challenge me again, you’re always welcome, but the punishment won’t be so simple next time.”
Mingzhe stiffened. Even though he was unwilling to give up and hated Gu Ning to death now, he didn’t dare to take revenge for the time being. He learned that he shouldn’t mess with Gu Ning after today’s lesson.
“Well, if he dares to challenge you again, he must be a stupid idiot,” said Chu Peihan.
“Hard to tell. Some people are really mean and evil and won’t stop trying to pay others back till they succeed. Although he’s scared by our boss now and will be quiet for a while, I think he’ll do something again once he gets a chance,” said Mu Ke. He didn’t mean that Mingzhe was the kind of person he just described, but they knew very little about him, so they couldn’t make sure that he wouldn’t cause Gu Ning trouble again.
Mingzhe was Zhang Zikai’s relative. Although he was merely her distant relative, they were relatives after all and they had known each other for years. However, she still didn’t know much about Mingzhe. If she knew him very well, Shao Zihan wouldn’t have been hurt by such a terrible man.
Precisely because of what Shao Zihan had been through, she suddenly realized that she always had a wrong impression of Mingzhe. Therefore, Zhang Zikai didn’t dare to deny what Mu Ke said right now.
“I don’t care. It isn’t a big deal,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t take Mingzhe as her real enemy.
If Mingzhe dared to cause her more trouble, she wouldn’t have a fair game with him like today again. Instead, she would directly teach him a lesson with her fists. She didn’t have much patience for him after all.
“Right, anyway, I don’t think he’s a match for our boss,” said Chu Peihan. Mingzhe couldn’t be less important in Chu Peihan’s eyes, let alone in Gu Ning’s eyes. Besides, she wasn’t as patient as Gu Ning who agreed to have a game with him. She would choose to beat him till he yielded.
Chu Peihan said again, “Boss, let’s go to have night snacks now! They bet on you just then and we’ve won a lot of money. Can they join us?”
The boys weren’t affected by today’s result at all. Gu Ning didn’t lose anyway, so they were in a pretty good mood.
Hearing that, Gu Ning turned to look at Cao Yang and his friends who looked at her with anticipation.
Gu Ning beamed, “Why not!”
They were going to share night snacks, which wasn’t a big deal. In addition, they were all from rich families, so it wouldn’t do her any harm if she spent some time with them.
If they weren’t people of the factions against the Leng family and were reliable, Gu Ning wouldn’t mind having a relationship with them.
If they were the Leng family’s opponents, she wouldn’t contact them again after today. It wasn’t appropriate for her to ask about that right now, so she decided to do that later.
With Gu Ning’s agreement, Cao Yang and his friends were excited.
“Let’s go to the food street in the southern district!” said Gu Ning. All of them had cars, so it wouldn’t be a problem if the place was a little further away.
The capital was a very large city with dozens of famous food streets of different sizes.
There was a long food street in almost every district, and it was also very famous, but only the one in the city center represented the delicious food in the capital.
“Sure!” Cao Yang and his friends agreed.
In fact, Cao Yang and one of his friends lived in the southern district too, while the other two boys lived in the northern district. Their homes weren’t far away from the food street, and it only took about half an hour to get there by car.
Even if it was far away, they didn’t care about it.
“Great, then let’s go now!” said Gu Ning, then she turned to look at Zhang Zikai. “Why don’t you join us?”
“Of course,” said Zhang Zikai.
After that, they got back in their own cars.
Cao Yang and his friends came in two cars and they left together.
Other people were jealous of them because they could make friends with Gu Ning, who was an incredible driver, and they even went to enjoy night snacks together. Lu Jun was more jealous of them than anyone else right now.
Lu Jun and Cao Yang grew up together and their parents were familiar with each other too. However, they had a bad relationship and were always competing against one another. Lu Jun wanted to do everything better than Cao Yang, but the reality was quite the opposite. Cao Yang was always more outstanding than him, so he never liked Cao Yang.
“Oh, they’re going to the food street in the southern district. Why don’t we go there too, and we can eat aside,” said someone.
“Forget it, didn’t you hear what the girl said? We bet on Du Hao and they dislike us.”
“It isn’t our fault.”
“You’re right, but don’t you feel embarrassed? I do, so I won’t follow them. Even though we didn’t know what the punishment would be, we made the wrong choice.”
“…”
As a result, none of them followed.
