Boss, Don't Act All Mighty, Miss Pei is Married to Your Brother!

Chapter 16: Resistance

The sinister smiles on their faces were filled with malice as they surrounded her. Pei Xin then understood that today was not about Ling Xue's birthday party at all, but instead, a devil's den that was set up just for her.

Lu Li had given her to these people on a silver platter.

Perhaps this was what he wanted to see, to see these people torture her to death.

"Please, I want to go home." Pei Xin's voice was choked with sobs, but she did not dare to show her fear.

"Home? Which home? The Pei family's home? Or the house that looked like it came from a garbage factory?" Following Wu Ling's words, another round of laughter broke out.

Pei Xin clenched her fists but was helpless in front of so many people.

"Let's carry on with just now, shall we? I can clearly see that everyone is quite interested in her. Why don't we make a bid and the highest bidder wins?" Gu Su said to the men in the room with a bottle of champagne in her hand.

Zhao Chen sat in the corner and looked at the embarrassed people on stage. He could not bear to see them. "That's enough. You don't have to go that far!"

"Zhao Chen, I thought you said you didn't like her anymore!"

"That's right, we're all brothers. If you just say the were, we won't snatch her from you!"

"Hey, if you liked her that much, you should have been the one that slept with her back then!"

"Maybe you'll have a son by now!"

"Wasn't sure if I could say this, but f*ck it. Pei Xin, you still have a sexy figure considering you gave birth to a child!!" One of the men had obviously drunk quite a bit. He stretched out his hand to tug at Pei Xin's clothes. The physical contact scared Pei Xin so much that she took a step back.

With one person's lead, the other lecherous people also had the courage to harm her.

They weren't a good group to begin with. They had touched countless girls in the brothels and didn't care if it was their first time. The main reason was that Pei Xin was good-looking back then and was the golden girl for many people. Although she was much thinner now, she was still just as pretty as the day she left.

Looking at the demonic claws reaching toward her, Pei Xin grabbed the champagne in Gu Su's hand and smashed it on the table beside her. The champagne exploded and the liquid splashed on the surrounding people.

"Pei Xin, have you gone mad?"

Gu Su and Wu Ling were the first few to bear the consequences. Their expensive dresses now had traces of champagne. Their faces were ashen, and they looked at Pei Xin as if they wanted to swallow her alive.

"Stand back, don't come any closer!" Pei Xin pointed the broken champagne bottle in her hand at everyone, warning them not to approach her.

At this moment, she knew that she was the only one who could protect her from harm.

However, her resistance only made everyone silent for a moment. She decided to take that chance to turn around and escape. Right then, a few people tried to reach forward to take the weapon away,

Pei Xin's senses were heightened, so when she heard footsteps approaching she became ruthless and quickly waved the shards in her hand. Some people did not retract their hands in time and were slashed with a few bloody marks.

"She's gone mad!"

"How dare you! Seems like you're asking for a beating!"

"Forget it, forget it, Lu Li only asked us to play around with her, but he didn't want us to kill her."

The room was buzzing with noise. Some were furious, some were showing signs of weakness, but ultimately, all of them made way for Pei Xin's exit. Pei Xin slowly passed through the crowd, pushed open the door, and quickly escaped.

She was dizzy, but she didn't dare stop to catch her breath. She dug her nails into her flesh to keep herself awake. Only when she couldn't hear the voices of the people behind her did she slow down.

However, she did not stop to take a break. As she turned the corridor, her consciousness gradually slipped and she accidentally bumped into someone walking towards her. She almost fell, but that person held on to her, preventing her from injuring herself.

It was as if she had grabbed onto a life buoy in the middle of the ocean. She grabbed the man's clothes tightly and muttered, "Please, take me away from here. Save me..."

The people around Lu Huai were shocked. They hurriedly rushed forward to pull the woman away, but when they saw the blood on Lu Huai's body, they stopped and froze on the spot.

For a moment, countless thoughts echoed in the people's minds.

'What should we do?'

'Did he just get stabbed? Is that lady going to die?'

'Is this a terrorist attack?'

'Isn't he a germaphobe? What if his bad mood ruins this project!'

Lu Huai didn't know what the people behind him were thinking. He looked at the face of the person in his arms and frowned.

It was Pei Xin... Her again?

Was it a coincidence or was it intentional?

"CEO Lu!" Xu Nuo's brain which was on pause finally restarted. He quickly ran forward and prepared to pull Pei Xin away.

Lu Huai raised his hand to stop him and shook his head.

Pei Xin's hair was wet and stuck to her face. The shard in her hand had already fallen to the ground, but her hand was still tightly holding onto Lu Huai's clothes, and refused to let go. Based on her actions, he assumed that she had suffered a great shock.
