988: Chapter 988: Zhang Yuâs Coercion 988: Chapter 988: Zhang Yuâs Coercion âReally?â Zhang Yu was no longer just interested; he was excited.
Judging by Lan Wenâs age, she had to be over twenty.
In this day and age, it was hard to find any woman in her twenties, even an unattractive one, who was still single, let alone a stunning beauty like Lan Wen.
He felt that today was just his luckiest day ever.
âOf course not!â Zhang Tao interjected again, âJingwen has been with me for a while.
Donât believe me?
Ask her yourself!â âI have never been with him, nor have I ever had a boyfriend!â Lan Wen once again declined Zhang Taoâs well-intentioned attempt to help.
She knew that going along with Zhang Taoâs words and getting rid of Zhang Yu would be the easiest solution right now.
However, she didnât want to do that.
If she did, she would owe Zhang Tao a favor, and she would probably be entangled with him in the future.
She would feel guilty when she refused him again.
Zhang Yuâs initial good impression of Zhang Tao vanished immediately at his attempt to ruin his plans again.
He glared at Zhang Tao discontentedly and said, âZhang Tao, stop meddling!â âYeah, someone like you even wants to play the hero?
Donât you know yourself?â Wen Shao, who had long been annoyed by Zhang Tao, chimed in.
At this point, Zhang Tao had no other choice, but he still didnât leave.
He just stood there and endured the ridicule from Wen Shao and the others.
After getting rid of Zhang Tao, Zhang Yu turned his attention back to Lan Wen and said with a smile, âBeautiful lady, youâve told me that youâve never had a boyfriend.
Does that mean youâre interested in me?
If youâre willing, we could give dating a try.â âIâm just stating a fact,â Lan Wen replied indifferently, âIâve never had a boyfriend before, and I donât want one now.
Please, Young Master Zhang Yu, look for someone else.â Lan Wenâs clear rejection stunned Zhang Yu.
Wherever he went, he was always pampered and catered to.
Now, he had hit a wall with Lan Wen, which only made him more interested in her.
He continued to joke, âItâs just that you donât know me yet.
How about this, letâs go for a walk right now and get to know each other!â As he spoke, he reached out to grab Lan Wenâs arm.
Lan Wen stood up, took a step back, and dodged Zhang Yuâs inappropriate hand.
She coldly said, âPlease show some respect!â At this moment, Zhang Tao also shouted, âYoung Master Zhang Yu, you canât do this!â Zhang Yu had patience with Lan Wen because she was a beauty, but he didnât have such patience with Zhang Tao.
He snorted coldly and said, âIt seems youâre determined to oppose me today.
Teach him how to behave!â He then gave Wen Shao and the others a meaningful look.
Wen Shao and his cousin Qiang Shao immediately nodded, grabbed Zhang Taoâs arms, and punched him hard in the stomach at the same time.
âUghâŠâ Zhang Tao was almost made to vomit by the two punches.
He bent over and struggled desperately.
However, he was just an ordinary person who had never practiced any martial arts.
How could his strength compare with that of the two of them?
The more he struggled, the more punches he received from the brothers.
Seeing Zhang Tao being beaten, none of his so-called friends who usually called each other brothers dared to come to his aid.
The employees, seeing Zhang Tao being beaten and Lan Wen about to be taken away, were all indignant.
But similarly, none of them dared to step forward.
These formal employees, who were at least in their twenties, had long passed the age of youthful impulsiveness.
Although Zhang Yu and his group were few and no match for the crowd, if they helped Lan Wen against Zhang Yu now, their future would be difficult.
Not only might they lose their jobs, but their safety could also be at risk.
At this moment, a flicker of compassion crossed Lan Wenâs eyes, and she sighed inwardly.
She did owe Zhang Tao a favor after all, because the beating he was taking was on her behalf.
âWell, beautiful lady, arenât you coming with me?
These people canât save you.
You donât want me to force you, do you?â Zhang Yu took a step closer to Lan Wen and said with a smile.
Ye Fei, you little rascal, why donât you come out yet!
Lan Wen silently called out to Ye Fei in her heart, her pretty face as cold as ice, and said, âZhang Yu, have you thought about the consequences of what youâre doing?â âConsequences?
What consequences?
Donât be naive enough to think you can rely on the law,â Zhang Yu sneered.
âLet me tell you, you have only two outcomes.
If you come with me obediently, youâll become my girlfriend.
But if youâre not cooperative, youâll end up as my sex slave.
I guarantee that even if I take you away in front of all these people, your family wouldnât dare to say a word!â Zhang Yuâs words shocked Lan Wen.
Although she had heard of some dark things, she never expected that these privileged rich kids would be so lawless.
However, she wasnât afraid because the power behind her was a hundred times stronger than this young master.
âIf you know whatâs good for you, let him go and get out of here right now,â Lan Wen, who had been provoked by Zhang Yuâs recklessness, threatened in return.
âOtherwise, youâll have to bear the consequences.
Let me tell you, the people behind me are not someone you can afford to provoke!â Hearing Lan Wenâs words, Zhang Yu, who had been toying with her like a cat with a mouse, was taken aback.
He thought carefully.
Lan Wen had always been very calm in front of him and didnât seem afraid of him at all.
This made him have to be cautious.
Although he was still lawless, he was no longer the same person who didnât care about anything a few months agoâone who had been scared by Ye Fei.
At this moment, Chu Hong suddenly burst into laughter, mocking, âBackers?
I havenât heard of you having any backers.
Are you talking about your father who has been dead for nearly twenty years, or your mother who has been working for others all year round?
Besides them, who else do you rely on?
If you had any, you wouldnât be working here like us, would you?â Chu Hongâs words were very well-considered.
She not only analyzed the situation but also clearly explained Lan Wenâs background, completely eliminating all of Zhang Yuâs concerns.
Feeling deceived, Zhang Yu finally lost his patience and sneered, âBring out whatever backers you have.
Also, tell me who your mother is working for and see if I canât handle it!â âDonât make up stories.
Young Master Zhang Yuâs connections are beyond your imagination,â Chu Hong added, excited.
Lan Wen, with her personality, would never submit to Zhang Yu.
She had only two choices left: death or being taken by Zhang Yu as a plaything, with no status at all.
If it werenât for being sure of this, Chu Hong wouldnât have made the suggestion.
After all, if Lan Wen were to be favored by Zhang Yu, she would definitely not have an easy time.
