The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1250 - 477: Please Leave Jiang Mo

For a moment, Zhou Wang couldn’t quite understand the "stupid purity" akin to that of a college student that she seemed to have. What kind of life experiences could give rise to such a feeling?

Kind of interesting.

At this moment, perhaps having sensed something from the peculiar expression on Zhou Wang’s face, Qu Peining’s gaze quickly turned sharp.

"No, you’re lying to me... You and that girl are clearly meeting for the first time. You can tell from how excited she was... though I don’t know what she has to be excited about."

"Your IQ seems to come and go, making me even more curious... Oh, what’s your name?"

"My name is Qu... What’s it to you?"

After being alerted, Qu Peining said coldly, "Zhou Wang, I’ve come today to give you a warning."

"What warning?"

Zhou Wang hadn’t expected this. He didn’t need to do anything, and the other party just revealed their purpose. He asked with interest.

"Cut out your womanizing and stay away from certain women!"

"...Sorry, I didn’t quite understand."

Zhou Wang was indeed a bit confused. From the posture Qu Peining had struck, he thought she might have been sent by some enemy, and he never expected it to be about a "woman".

Qu Peining hesitated a bit, but worried that Zhou Wang might indeed misunderstand her meaning, she braved it and said:

"Please... stay away from Jiang Mo!"

Upon hearing the name "Jiang Mo," and connecting it with the surname the woman had accidentally revealed earlier, Zhou Wang finally understood who she was.

So she was the new acquaintance of his senior, whom he had yet to meet, named Qu Peining.

Not entirely certain, but pretty close.

Zhou Wang was momentarily speechless.

So he had wasted half a day, even imagining her as a "stalker" sent by a mortal enemy, only to find out she was just his woman’s best buddy.

Zhou Wang held his forehead, unable to comprehend what exactly was going on in this woman’s mind. Although from Su Yajing’s tattling, he knew his senior’s new friend might have some opinions about him, he never imagined she would chase him all the way to Magic City...

How damn free do you have to be?

Feeling utterly uninterested, Zhou Wang waved his hand disinterestedly and said, "Seeing as you are a good friend of my senior, I won’t hold it against you today, you can leave now."

"You... you know who I am?"

Qu Peining’s expression froze.

"Qu Peining, right?"

Zhou Wang picked up a cigarette from the table and began searching for his lighter, "I’ve heard your name, and I know you met my senior at the Cultural Troupe..."

"I can’t stand the smell of smoke!"

Seeing Zhou Wang about to light the cigarette, Qu Peining frowned and said, but Zhou Wang paid her no mind. Just when he finally found the lighter and was about to ignite it, Qu Peining’s eyebrows shot up and she dashed over, deftly snatching away his lighter.

"Didn’t you hear me? I can’t stand the smell of smoke!"

Qu Peining said irritably, not caring about Zhou Wang’s frowning expression, and continued speaking to herself, "Since you know my name, fine, I won’t pretend. I am indeed the Qu Peining you’ve heard of, and the best friend around Jiang Mo... So, did you remember what I just said?"

So close, Zhou Wang caught a faint minty scent from her, which smelled more like soap than perfume.

"Do you use soap for bathing?"

Zhou Wang sniffed lightly, blurting out instinctively.

"How do you know... Zhou Wang, were you even listening to me!"

"Yes, yes, I heard with both ears."

Zhou Wang shrugged, and just as Qu Peining’s expression softened, his tone suddenly turned cold.

"But... why the hell should I listen to you?"

Qu Peining was momentarily stunned, then incredulously exclaimed, "You... you dare curse at me?"

"Cursing is nothing. If it weren’t for my senior, do you think you’d still be standing there talking to me?"

Zhou Wang replied impatiently, "Didn’t you hear what I said, please disappear from my sight immediately. I don’t want to say it a third time."

"You..."

Qu Peining trembled, then took a deep breath, seeming to force herself to calm down.

"Zhou Wang, as long as you promise to stay away from Jiang Mo, I’ll leave immediately... She’s a good girl, and as her only friend, I can’t stand by and watch her fall into disaster. I hope you understand..."

"Damn it, this is crazy!"

Before Qu Peining could finish, Zhou Wang, already unable to stand it, turned to leave, "If you don’t leave, I will."

"Zhou Wang, stop right there, or suffer the consequences!"

Having been cursed at again, Qu Peining, in shame and anger, shouted, seeing that Zhou Wang ignored her, her gaze turned cold.

She initially wanted to reason with Zhou Wang, but if he was asking for trouble, she couldn’t be blamed!

With that, Qu Peining reached for Zhou Wang’s shoulder, deliberately controlling her force, intending to give him a little taste of pain. But just as she stretched out her hand, a terrifying premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

It was as if a beast was attacking her from the shadows.

Qu Peining’s expression instantly became serious as she changed her movements, retracting her hand while quickly turning around. Her long legs clad in silk swept out directly. A faint sound of fabric ripping could be heard, but Qu Peining couldn’t spare the time to care about it, only to be astonished as her kick hit empty air.

Just as Qu Peining was inwardly saying "Oh no," she heard the sound of something tearing through the air.

She had no time to react before the back of her head was struck with a hand chop, and with a grunt, Qu Peining collapsed to the ground, fainting.

"Old Gao, didn’t you say her skills should be good? What was that?"

With wide eyes, Zhou Wang, who had planned to watch the so-called "master showdown," was disappointed when Gao Xing appeared out of nowhere and subdued Qu Peining in an instant. He asked dejectedly.

"She is good."

Gao Xing replied softly, and perhaps seeing Zhou Wang still didn’t understand, added, "She’s better than Xiao Wang and the others."

Now Zhou Wang understood.

What Gao Xing meant was, by normal standards, Qu Peining was already a rare expert because Xiao Wang had placed in an internal martial arts competition at Tyrant Security and was not an ordinary person either.

But clearly, Gao Xing had transcended the realm of a "normal expert," so comparing him to Qu Peining was unfair to her.

Understanding the underlying layers of Gao Xing’s simple words, Zhou Wang’s view of Gao Xing changed instantly...

Young man, I see you’ve been keeping quiet, and now you’re learning to show off, huh?

Still, Zhou Wang had to admit, Gao Xing really managed to show off this time.

After exchanging some small talk with Gao Xing, Zhou Wang looked at Qu Peining, lying on the carpet, feeling stuck.

He vaguely knew that her background might have some substance; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to look after Jiang Mo at the Cultural Troupe, so Zhou Wang was really unsure of what to do with Qu Peining.

Letting her go just like that wasn’t something Zhou Wang was willing to do. After all, the woman had attacked him twice, and even a calm person would be angry. Not to mention, she had wasted a lot of Zhou Wang’s time.

But not letting her go wasn’t right either, since she just had a quirky way of thinking, which wasn’t enough to say they had any deep-seated hatred.

After some thought, Zhou Wang decided he couldn’t release her right now, as tonight’s charity banquet was more important. The current situation, with Ding Yi and Xia Xiwei’s presence, was already chaotic, and he couldn’t let her cause more trouble.

He’d deal with it after tonight...

Having made his decision, Zhou Wang found the room phone and called the front desk of the club.

"Hello, send some things over for me..."
