Chapter 338 I hit someone casually
"This is outrageous!" Zhou Xiyin was furious. How could she not understand what the gatekeeper meant? The other party not only belittled women, but also looked down on the Zhou family.
Zhou Xiyin spoke and charged forward, but she could not break through the two men who were like a wall of flesh. In the end, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in anger.
"Hmph, those snobbish bastards! Miss, let's go, let's not stoop to their level." Wan'er was also itching to get involved, but she was afraid of being bullied outside, so she had no choice but to compromise.
"Isn't this Xiyin? What a coincidence!" At the same time, a voice that made everyone want to vomit entered everyone's ears.
"Wang Ba? It's you?" Zhou Xiyin replied irritably, getting goosebumps all over.
Are we close? Who is your Xiyin sister?
"This is what you call fate; it must be the matchmaker, the God of Love." Wang Ba stared at Zhou Xiyin with a lecherous grin, swallowing hard, and then added with a pretentious air, "Is Sister Xiyin here to deposit money too?"
The two money shops simply serve two purposes: depositing and withdrawing money. Although Wang Ba could tell from Zhou Xiyin's eyes that she had come to borrow money, he still deliberately said so.
"Hmph, none of your business!" Zhou Xiyin replied irritably.
Zhou Xiyin knew Wang Ba's nature and did not want his affection; in fact, she even felt a sense of disgust towards him.
Upon hearing this, Wan'er and the two gatekeepers burst out laughing.
A grown man, standing seven feet tall, was humiliated in the street by a woman. If word got out, he would probably never be able to show his face again.
A cold glint flashed in Wang Ba's eyes, but he quickly withdrew it. Beating a woman in the street was extremely uncivilized, especially since he wanted to use feigned kindness to win Zhou Xiyin's unwavering devotion.
"The Eight Directions Bank will not lend money to the Zhou family. However, if Sister Xiyin is willing to marry me, the Wang family can provide the funds." Wang Ba's lecherous nature was fully exposed, and his groping hands were about to touch Zhou Xiyin's face.
"What do you want to do?" Wan'er angrily blocked Wang Ba's path.
"You dog slave, you're asking for death!" After being stopped, Wang Ba was furious and disregarded his gentlemanly manners, slapping Wan'er across the face, leaving five bright red marks.
Although Wan'er was a maidservant who was used to doing rough and tiring work, she was still a woman after all. She couldn't bear the slap. The burning sensation immediately spread throughout her body, and tears kept welling up in her eyes, but she didn't cry out.
She was a maid in the Zhou household, representing the image of the Zhou family. If she showed weakness in front of Wang Ba, she would definitely be looked down upon.
"Ah!" Enraged, Zhou Xiyin immediately slapped back, hitting Wang Ba in the face as well.
Wang Ba was stunned. For a moment, he forgot the pain, held his cheeks in his hands, stared at Zhou Xiyin in confusion, wishing he could skin her alive.
He had only beaten a maid, who had no human rights whatsoever. Even if he had killed her, he would have only received some money as compensation. He never expected that Zhou Xiyin would attack him.
"You slut, I'll take you right now!" Wang Ba was furious and revealed his beastly nature, lunging at Zhou Xiyin with a ferocious expression.
The two doormen watched nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened. The elite circle was already quite chaotic; forcing a woman into marriage was nothing unusual, especially since the Zhou family was a dying camel with no real power.
"Young Master Wang, we meet again!" Just as Wang Ba's lewd hands were about to touch Zhou Xiyin's chest, they were suddenly clamped by something and could not move at all.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wang Ba froze in place, staring at the newcomer with terrified eyes, as if he had seen a demon.
He was, after all, a young master, rich and powerful, and had no reason to fear the other party. So he mustered his courage and asked, "This is broad daylight, what do you want to do?"
The visitor was Lin Ping, the man who had almost caused Wang Ba to become childless not long ago. If he hadn't consulted all the famous doctors in Yingtian Prefecture, Wang Ba would probably have been ruined for life. Even so, his function was significantly impaired, and a series of urological diseases swept over him.
Wang Ba would never forget Lin Ping because of this hatred alone, but since he couldn't defeat him, he could only use the law to suppress him.
"In broad daylight? You know this is broad daylight?" Lin Ping delivered a flying kick to Wang Ba's chest. The man was light on his feet and flew up, crashing heavily into the door before tumbling and crawling into the Eight Directions Money Shop.
"Stop him! He's a rioter, he has no right to borrow money here!" Wang Ba said in a panic.
The two gatekeepers stood in front of Lin Ping in perfect unison, as if they were there to avenge Wang Ba.
Lin Ping didn't rush in immediately. Instead, he looked at Wan'er's flushed cheeks and said softly, "It's alright, it won't leave a scar."
Wan'er stared at Lin Ping, speechless, and a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. Lin Ping was a divine doctor and the future son-in-law, while she was just a maid and did not deserve his care.
"Don't worry, I'll make Wang Ba kneel down and apologize to you." A cold glint flashed in Lin Ping's eyes, piercing right through the two gatekeepers.
Wang Ba apologized to her? And he even knelt down to apologize?
Is this some kind of joke? Wan'er is just a maid; how could she possibly have the right to make Wang Ba kneel down and apologize? Besides, Wan'er knows the current situation of the Zhou family; how could she possibly offend Wang Ba for her own sake?
"Absolutely not! Wan'er isn't in any pain, and Miss has already taught him a lesson." Wan'er forced a smile onto her aggrieved face, trying her best to suppress Lin Ping's anger. She absolutely couldn't let him offend powerful figures for her sake.
"Get out of the way!" Without saying a word, Lin Ping went straight to the two gatekeepers.
"You brat, who do you think you are? Do you think you can just walk into the gates of Bafang Money House like that?" the doorman said angrily, deliberately bumping into Lin Ping with his muscular chest.
"You snobbish jerk!" A chill ran through Lin Ping's eyes once again.
Although money shops are open for business, they are still in the business of money and need to be guarded by doormen. In case of troublemakers, they can temporarily defend themselves and prevent being robbed.
"You brat, you're asking for it!" The two gatekeepers angrily waved their fists, which were about to land on Lin Ping's chest.
However, the two fists stopped in mid-air, and even their angry eyes turned into longing—yes, longing for money.
Lin Ping was clearly holding a hundred taels of silver, which gleamed in the sunlight.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Ping said coldly, throwing the two silver ingots back into the corner.
These two were just gatekeepers, earning at most three taels of silver a month. How could they not be tempted? They scrambled towards the silver, completely disregarding Lin Ping's fate.
Furthermore, someone who could casually throw away a hundred taels of silver couldn't be poor, and Lin Ping was perfectly qualified to walk in openly and honestly. He might even be there to deposit money.
So Lin Ping led the two women into the hall, fuming.
