Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 947 - 451: A Romantic Tale

Gou Scar felt as if struck by lightning.

Wang Yu was also shocked, his mouth agape.

Gou Scar looked at the young man in disbelief and murmured softly, "He... he’s your friend?"

If it weren’t for Rong Xianning, Amos might have forever forgotten about Ouri.

He came to Australia for Rong Xianning.

Gou Scar realized this, but was filled with both shock and fear.

"It’s my fault for not recognizing greatness, and my ignorance has offended you. I’ll immediately release Young Master Rong and treat him well. I hope you’ll be magnanimous and forgive my mistake this time."

Without waiting for a response from the young man, Gou Scar quickly pulled out his phone and called his men, instructing them to take Rong Xianning to a hotel and ensure he was well taken care of, emphasizing that he must not be slighted in the least.

His men were puzzled but had no choice but to comply.

Gou Scar hung up the phone, lacking even the courage to lift his head, his back covered in cold sweat.

The icy gaze felt like a cold sword hanging overhead, suspending judgment, as his heart writhed in turmoil like frying in hot oil.

At this moment, Gou Scar deeply regretted everything. He would rather abandon the billion-dollar gambling debt than get involved in such trouble.

Yet, an untimely doubt popped up in his mind: how did Rong Xianning, from such a "poor background," become friends with the scion of the Mei Fei family?

Even though they were of similar age, their social statuses were worlds apart, and it seemed unlikely they would ever be connected in this lifetime.

That these two, so vastly different, could be friends was astonishing.

"Rong Xianning isn’t the first, nor will he be the last, am I right?"

A cold voice sounded from above.

Gou Scar immediately said, "Young Master Mei Fei, we were also forced to do this. Business competition has been fierce these years, and Ouri has lost many clients. If we don’t act, Ouri is not far from closing, and it’s not just us; almost all of Australia is doing this."

It’s said that all crows are black the world over. If he didn’t do it, he’d be outdone by others and had no choice but to follow the trend, who knew he’d be so unlucky to provoke this big shot.

"So, has your business improved?"

Gou Scar bowed his head even lower; no, bad debts had increased.

"Following others’ footsteps means you’ll always be the one to get the second bite of the crab; how can that lead to success?"

Gou Scar couldn’t deny Mei Fei’s business acumen; his words were compellingly insightful upon reflection.

"Ouri is rotten from top to bottom."

The young man’s voice carried a hint of irritation and sarcasm.

Gou Scar jerked his head up, "Young Master Mei Fei, you can’t abandon Ouri."

You are a major shareholder of Ouri; if Amos doesn’t save it, Ouri is doomed.

"Tomorrow at nine in the morning, call a shareholders’ meeting. All directors must attend."

The young man left this statement, not sparing the two another glance, and got up to leave.

Xie Jiajia quickly jogged to catch up.

Gou Scar snapped back, immediately chasing after them.

"Young Master Mei Fei, I’ll drive you back to the hotel."

Amos cast him a glance, that cold gaze froze Gou Scar in his tracks.

"I hope not to hear any mention of me reach Rong Xianning’s ears, do you understand?"

Gou Scar’s mind raced, nodding vigorously, "I understand."

Wang Yu also heard these words, a thoughtful glint passing through her eyes.

Amos left.

Wang Yu and Gou Scar both breathed a sigh of relief, their backs unknowingly drenched in cold sweat.

Wang Yu plopped back onto the sofa, casting Gou Scar a cold glance and sneering, "You’re the one who attracted this jinx, how skillful."

Gou Scar’s face turned ugly, snapping back, "You’re in the mood to mock me? Better hurry and work on your accounts overnight; let’s see how you explain yourself at tomorrow’s shareholders’ meeting."

Wang Yu was pricked at her sore spot, her expression darkened.

She had a premonition that tomorrow’s meeting was likely directed against her.

But she wouldn’t let herself be taken advantage of verbally, "You caught Young Master Mei Fei’s friend and hoped to escape unscathed; are you naive? Go back and discuss with your Lord Bei how to report back."

Wang Yu curled her lips into a smirk, looking smug, "I heard the Mei Fei Family is highly protective; he’s come all the way to Australia for that little star with the surname Rong, do you think you and your Mr. Jin can really get away?"

Gou Scar ground his teeth, the two exchanging hostile glares, neither yielding.

They both sighed simultaneously, scratching their heads, full of worry about tomorrow’s impending shareholders’ meeting and anxious about their future fortune.

Amos walked out of Blue Charm, the cool night wind mixed with a faint salty dampness greeted him, the neon lights and hedonistic lifestyle gradually fading behind him.

Xie Jiajia followed closely at the young man’s side.

The young man stopped and glanced at her.

Xie Jiajia mustered up courage and said, "Young Master Mei Fei, thank you for saving me today. Your life-saving grace cannot be repaid. From now on, I’m your person."

The young woman in front of him had a pure and beautiful face, her lovely eyes like a startled fawn, innocent and pitiful, capable of softening the hardest heart.

A hero saves the beauty, and the beauty offers herself—what a romantic tale.

Unfortunately... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Get out." The young man’s tone suddenly sank, startling Xie Jiajia.

From behind the door, a shadow attempted to sneak away like a rat.

The young man casually picked up a pebble from a large pot by the door and threw it at the shadow.

A sharp cry of pain followed as the shadow staggered and fell face-first into the ground.

Xie Jiajia looked over in shock; it was Hu Xi, hatred flaring in her eyes.

The young man crossed his arms, "Even if you beat him to death today, I’ll cover for you."

Hu Xi, struck with terror at these words, tried to flee as another stone was thrown, sending him crashing down again even more painfully.

Xie Jiajia, reassured by the young man’s words, grabbed her bag, marched bravely towards Hu Xi.

"You scum, I’ll beat you to death today..."

Xie Jiajia swung her leather bag down at the man on the ground. Her bag was genuine leather, with metal parts that were very hard, especially the four bottom studs that inflicted notable damage, drawing immediate screams from Hu Xi with the first blow.

Hu Xi’s cries of pain were like an adrenaline rush for Xie Jiajia, who swung with increasing fervor, her blows relentless, venting all her pent-up frustration until she felt relieved.

On the ground, Hu Xi’s face was bruised and swollen, his head full of lumps, yet he didn’t dare to fight back, silently enduring the beating.

Xie Jiajia paused to catch her breath, and seeing Hu Xi motionless, feared she might have actually killed him, quickly crouching to check his breathing.

Fortunately, he was still alive.

But merely beating him was too easy a punishment.

Xie Jiajia turned her head to find that the young man had vanished, only the salty sea breeze whispering through the treetops, leaving shadows in the moonlight.

Xie Jiajia chased after him, standing stunned and dazed.
