Chapter 370 — A Slap
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh? Who's this but Tang Zhi? Haven't seen you in years—you've grown even prettier. What, is this your boyfriend? He's nothing much!" Kang Jingming glanced at Wei Zhao, a flicker of jealousy passing through his eyes. Back then his pursuit of Tang Zhi had come to nothing, and only then had he turned to chasing Xiaofen; he had never gotten over not having her. "Driving that beat-up car—how tacky. Tang Zhi, I never thought your taste would be this bad!"
"Exactly! Dump him and come with our Second Young Master Kang—tomorrow he'll buy you a car worth two hundred thousand!" Zhu Xiaozhang jumped in, making Tang Zhi promises. "You've got no future following this idiot man!"
Wei Zhao had not wanted to meddle in Kang **'s family affairs. Whatever happened, it was a family matter, and the best solution was to let Kang ** settle it himself. Wei Zhao was only a bystander here, there to make sure Xiaofen didn't fall ill.
But he had never expected that Zhu Xiaozhang would redirect the trouble onto him and start bullying him! To be called an "idiot man"—if Wei Zhao could swallow that, he wouldn't be Wei Zhao.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap lashed out, sending Zhu Xiaozhang staggering and nearly sprawling to the ground!
With a howl of pain, Zhu Xiaozhang spun around three times on the ground before spitting out two bloody teeth, his cheek swelling up in an instant like a giant steamed bun.
"Guards, guards! Seize them!" Stunned by the blow, Zhu Xiaozhang came to his senses and immediately began shouting furiously—cursing and spluttering—that Wei Zhao had dared to hit him!
The guard captain had been hiding off at a distance, watching the two groups of the Kang family face off. He had meant to enjoy the show, never expecting Zhu Xiaozhang to be slapped by Wei Zhao. That in itself was nothing much—but the crucial thing was that after being slapped, Zhu Xiaozhang was shouting for the guards...
The guard captain was at once in a quandary, regretting that he hadn't simply slipped far away just now. He found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place: if he stepped in, he would surely offend Wei Zhao—no one knew what this fellow's relationship with Li Yixun was, and offending him would likely bring nothing but trouble!
But Zhu Xiaozhang had called them, and they could hardly ignore him—they had, after all, just accepted several hundred yuan in tips from him, and it would seem rather dishonorable to turn their backs on him so soon.
Besides, Zhu Xiaozhang was staring fixedly at them; as security guards of the resort, they had no choice but to step forward.
Just as the guard captain was caught in a dilemma, another squad of guards came running over. Their leader, a plump guard captain, had rushed over the moment he heard Zhu Xiaozhang's cry for help: "Brother Xiaozhang, what happened to you?"
This plump guard captain was named Zhong Dingwei, and he was the captain in charge of security inside the banquet hall. He had previously accepted a two-thousand-yuan red envelope from the Kang family, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Kang family's affairs.
When the guard captain who had been hiding saw Zhong Dingwei come running, he breathed a sigh of relief—and at the same time felt a secret satisfaction! Zhong Dingwei had always been at odds with him, and this time, rushing over to curry favor with Kang Jingming, he would surely be in for a fine show!
