Chapter 260: Petite Feet, Quite Slender

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Petite Feet, Quite Slender

Yun Yue leaned against the doorway, pulling a piece of candy from her pocket and slowly peeling off the wrapper before popping it into her mouth.

It was precisely noon, and the vertical rays of the sun beamed down upon her head, lighting up her fair and delicate face. A pair of unruly eyes shimmered with a hint of blood-red, her gaze mocking as she stared at the group of people clad in black.

With a single graceful leg movement, she closed the gate, the sound of it shutting with a "clack" rang through the air. A slender wrist effortlessly lifted the heavy wooden gate into place, securing the lock.

The crowd that had been quarreling fell silent upon hearing the "clack," turning their gazes toward the entrance. Everyone on scene was stunned.

Yun Yue, with her head tilted down, sported a look that was as cold as it was agitated. She cast a chilly glance at the people in suits within the courtyard. "Isn’t it common knowledge that dogs should be closed off behind doors before you beat them?"

Chen Xi was dumbfounded at the sight of her, not understanding who she was, though from her tone, he assumed she was from Golden Net.

Could she be sent by Charming Fox to resolve the issue?

Although she simply stood there, there was an alarming sense of oppression about her—a feeling even Charming Fox could never evoke.

"Who are you?" the stout man asked, his gaze fixed on Yun Yue, his eyes heavy with lascivious intent.

Yun Yue didn’t answer him but instead turned her chilly gaze toward Chen Xi and the others. "Haven’t introduced yourselves yet?"

Chen Xi’s expression tensed as he stuttered, "Golden Net’s rules state that we must act inconspicuously when outside."

Yun Yue snorted with ridicule, her expression barely changing, her brows sardonically raised. "You sure are following the rules. Is this how Charming Fox trains you?"

"When it’s time to leverage our power, we leverage it. I don’t believe that once Golden Net’s name is dropped, there’d be anyone not afraid enough to come knocking for a fight."

If she chose Golden Net’s address to be here, she had no intention of keeping a low profile. They’d sooner or later realize this was Golden Net’s territory, so what was the point in hiding and protecting? Otherwise, it would be like these fools, reckless enough to stir up trouble.

Golden Net?

The faces of the men in black suits changed, their eyes appraising the group.

"Why would Golden Net’s people be here? Could they be trying to deceive us?"

"Let’s test them and find out."

After a brief discussion, they decided to probe, for if these were indeed Golden Net’s men, why would they show such restraint in the face of repeated provocations? That was not Golden Net’s style at all.

There were more than a dozen of them, and amongst the people present, only three were from Golden Net; the rest were construction workers who hid at the back at the first sign of the altercation, fearing they might be implicated.

"Brothers, let’s take action."

Chen Xi gritted his teeth, indeed as she said, the three of them had disgraced Golden Net.

The dozen men paid no mind to confronting them but instead charged at Yun Yue.

Yun Yue stood still, coolly watching them advance, a provocative smile on her lips and a sinister red gleam in her eyes.

"Should we go up and help?"

"Help..." Chen Xi started to say but then saw each man in black flew out one after another, his voice faltering, "It seems... unnecessary..."

He thought he might have guessed who the person before him was.

Daring to invoke Charming Fox’s name in such a way, looking so young and beautiful, yet so wild and wicked—she perfectly matched the portrayal of their boss, Other Shore Flower.

His legs grew weak; he had always heard that their boss wasn’t just pretty but also formidable. He never expected to see her in person.

"Chen, Chen Xi, is... is this woman the... the boss?" the person beside him was even more shocked than he was, his hands trembling.

Chen Xi glanced at the young girl who solely used kicks, finding it unimaginable that such slender legs could generate such force, sending men flying meters away—something even they couldn’t achieve.

The courtyard was filled with cries of agony. It was now clear what the phrase "Dogs should be closed off behind doors before you beat them" meant.

Yun Yue finally withdrew her delicate foot, and as she moved, her pale, exposed ankle disappeared into the hem of her pants. Her exquisite brows raised, the corners of her mouth curved in an almost imperceptible smirk, her nonchalant demeanor emphasizing a word that sent shivers down the spine.

"Scram."

A dozen people writhed on the ground in pain, their blood seeming to freeze at the sound of her voice, and they scrambled to open the door and leave.

Feng Ye leaned against the front of the car, sitting down, and as he watched a group of black-clad people tumble out, marked with numerous footprints—a dainty one, like a woman’s. Their faces were swollen and bruised, evidence of a ruthless beating.

They halted at the sight of Feng Ye, glimpsing through the dark car windows the figure of a man of dignified and cold pride seated in the back, sending a shiver through their souls.

How could this guy be here?

The cries of pain ceased immediately, as they covered their mouths, stealing a glance at Feng Ye, and tiptoed away, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.

Chen Xi approached, his voice trembling with excitement, "Are you the boss of Other Shore Flower?"

Yun Yue glanced at him, "Just make sure to deliver on time."

"Don’t worry, boss, it will definitely be completed on time and with quality," Chen Xi mentally screamed with excitement.

She really is the boss of Other Shore Flower!

I never thought that small fries like us would ever get the chance to speak to her.

Yun Yue surveyed the scene, a cold haze in her eyes, then turned and left with a mixture of arrogance and coolness.

Three little fanboys watched her departing figure with admiration.

Chen Xi: "So cool."

Chen Yuan: "More than cool! We didn’t even clearly see how she kicked, it was so fast."

Chen Mo: "But why didn’t she use her hands?"

Chen Xi pondered, "Probably because these guys aren’t worth her lifting a hand."

The others nodded in agreement. They were indeed too weak; using her hands might have seemed like bullying.

Feng Ye watched Yun Yue as she walked over with her hands in her pockets, her delicate brows raised, her steps nonchalant and carefree.

"All set?" Feng Ye’s gaze fell on her size 36 shoes, an eyebrow curving upward, noticing her rather dainty feet.

Feng Ye opened the car door for her, "Let’s go eat first, I’m hungry."

Yun Yue slipped into the car, a pleasant scent filling her nostrils; the man seemed to be sleeping. She raised her dainty brows slightly and gently closed the car door.

...

Tianshi Restaurant.

The opulent Tianshi Restaurant was flooded with the warmth of the staff as soon as they entered, "Young Master Xiao, welcome back. Please, follow me, all three of you."

The group of four followed the waiter to the Shangyi Residence private room. While waiting for the tea to be served, a knock on the door was heard, and then Jiang Ying entered with a cheerful smile, followed by Jiang Qi.

Without any pretense, Jiang Qi took a seat, "We were just eating next door and saw you guys, so we came over."

"Who’s over there?" Feng Ye asked.

"Who else could it be? Four grandfathers, each trying to outdo the other, plus Uncle Jiang," Jiang Qi said, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

It was tough for them, the younger generation, to cater to their elders’ competitive spirit.

"My dad doesn’t have much to brag about, so he keeps boasting about my cousin, acting as if he’s his own son," Jiang Ying said, resting her chin on her hands in resignation; she was the one who had disappointed her father. Aside from being as beautiful as a flower, she had no other merits.
