Chương 232: Chapter 232
*How much does he fear Zuri rejecting him?!*
╮(￣▽￣")╭
What's even more devious is that he deliberately had Miss Zuri take off the watch his brother gave her, making room for the one he gave.
Mr. Leo sure is a sly one when it comes to pursuing a girlfriend!
Before Zuri could refuse, Leo picked up the watch. "Let me put it on for you."
Zuri looked at the man in front of her, feeling a bit amused.
This watch was clearly no cheap item.
Forget it, I'll just give him a return gift later.
At this moment, Zuri had no idea that this was a custom-made piece or its true value. She was already quietly planning to give him a gift slightly more expensive than this one.
Seeing the watch on Zuri's wrist, Leo finally felt satisfied.
To someone as oblivious to romantic cues as Zuri, she hadn't the slightest clue of his little schemes, remaining as innocent as ever.
"I need to use the restroom," Zuri said.
After leaving the restroom, Zuri was washing her hands when she overheard a conversation between two waitresses outside.
"That girl is in trouble."
"Nobody escapes once Mr. Sun sets his sights on them. I just saw Mr. Sun's assistant put something in her drink."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear."
"Should I warn that girl?"
"Are you crazy? Last time someone from the restaurant tried to warn someone, guess what? He got jumped by thugs in the middle of the night, had his leg broken, and is still limping. They said it was a robbery, but it was obviously Mr. Sun's doing," the senior employee warned, clearly terrified.
"Thanks for the heads-up. I almost made a big mistake. But what about that girl? Won't she...?"
"Don't worry about it. If she agreed to meet him, she's probably not a decent person anyway."
The two walked into the restroom, freezing when they saw Zuri, then hurriedly turned and left.
Zuri walked down the corridor, which was quiet and empty, with most of the private rooms on either side vacant. Only from the room ahead did occasional bursts of laughter escape.
As she approached, she saw that the door was slightly ajar, and inside, she heard voices.
"Come on, everyone, let's toast to our talented lady!"
A group of men raised their glasses towards a chubby-faced girl with a hint of baby fat.
"I'm not much of a drinker," she said.
"Talented lady, are you looking down on us? If you won't drink with us, at least have a drink with Mr. Sun, that's not too much to ask, is it?"
"I don't drink," the girl said coldly. "If you want someone to drink with, find someone else. I don't have time to waste with you."
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
"So, you're refusing to give us face? Tonight, you're drinking this whether you like it or not," said a young man with brightly colored hair.
The girl's face darkened as well. She stood up, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door.
"Leaving? Not so fast."
Two men blocked her way.
Wei Wanqi narrowed her eyes at the men in her path. "What? You want to fight?"
"You'd better behave and drink with us. Otherwise, don't think you'll walk out of this room."
"Is that so?!" Wei Wanqi sneered.
In the next moment, she kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying. She then grabbed the other man's arm and threw him over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground.
The room fell into stunned silence.
Wei Wanqi kicked over a chair, planting her foot on the seat as she looked leisurely at Mr. Sun. "If you want me to drink with you, first ask yourself if you're qualified!"
The scene was momentarily frozen in silence.
Zuri, peeking through the gap in the door, witnessed the scene with admiration.
*Wow! This girl has got some guts!*
Seeing that no one in the room dared to speak, Wei Wanqi kicked the chair away, flicked her head, and was about to leave. But as she turned, her vision blurred, and she felt dizzy.
"You... you all..."
Despicable!
Her legs went weak, and she collapsed uncontrollably to the floor. Before losing consciousness, her eyes met Zuri's through the gap in the door.
In that brief moment, she mouthed two words—"Help me!"
The men in the room, seeing her fall, smirked in satisfaction. The two who had been knocked down earlier got back on their feet and approached Wei Wanqi.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit me!"
Just as one of them lifted his foot to stomp on her hand, the door was kicked open with a loud crash, slamming against the wall.
The sudden noise startled everyone in the room.
Seeing that it was a beautiful girl standing at the entrance, and even prettier than the one on the floor, a few of the men exchanged knowing glances.
Mr. Sun, sitting in the center, was immediately captivated by Zuri's presence, a predatory smile creeping across his face.
This girl—he had to have her!
His two henchmen, noticing his expression, quickly understood his intentions and gave signals to the others.
Zuri, ignoring their leering stares, walked over to Wei Wanqi, lifting her onto her shoulder and dragging her towards the door.
Before she could take more than a step, two men blocked her path.
"So, you're this girl's friend?" the man with the multicolored hair sneered.
"Your friend wrecked our fun. How are you going to make it up to us?"
"Move," Zuri said coldly.
"Hey now, no need to be so harsh. You don't have to pay us back with money. Our boss isn't the kind of man to hold grudges," one of the henchmen said, stepping forward with a slimy smile.
As he spoke, he glanced over at Mr. Sun, who grinned even wider when Zuri's gaze met his. He flashed what he thought was a charming smile, which only made Zuri feel nauseated.
*What a greasy creep!*
"Listen, girl, just have a drink with our boss, and we'll call it even, okay?"
Before Zuri could respond, the henchman signaled another to get a clean glass and pour some wine, not too much, just a little.
As he poured the wine, a white pill slipped into the glass without a sound, unnoticed by anyone.
