Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested
Chapter 177: Li Cui’s Outburst
"I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t leave, I’m not helping you again."
She wanted to be saved but didn’t dare say it. How could she expect to have it both ways?
If Li Cui didn’t speak up, Yun Zijin would assume she was staying voluntarily.
’Why should I unconditionally help someone to the very end who can’t even stand up for herself?’
"Li Cui, you’d better think this through. If you walk out of this room today, we’re no longer friends."
Their dorm was clearly divided. If Ren Hui ignored Li Cui, Li Cui would be completely isolated and alone in their room.
Besides, Li Cui had gotten plenty of benefits from her over the years. Ren Hui didn’t believe Li Cui would be willing to give all that up.
But Yun Zijin didn’t give Li Cui much time to think. After saying her piece, she prepared to leave with Qin Sitong and Zero One without waiting much longer.
Seeing that Zero One was about to close the door, Li Cui finally weighed her options and stood up from her seat.
"Wait!"
But the man sitting next to her also stood up and blocked her path.
Yun Zijin heard Li Cui’s voice through the nearly closed door.
"Go bring her out."
It really seemed like this Sijie Restaurant was bad luck for Yun Zijin. Every time she came here for some gathering, it never ended with good memories.
Zero One immediately acted on Yun Zijin’s words, turning and re-entering the private room.
The people in the room had a vivid memory of Zero One kicking the door open earlier. Now, faced with his return, they didn’t dare make a rash move.
But Zero One clearly had no intention of dealing with them. He shoved aside the man blocking Li Cui and looked at her.
How could Li Cui dare to delay? She immediately ran for the door.
But as she passed the man Zero One had just pushed aside, he grabbed her wrist.
"Hey, buddy, that’s not cool. It’s obvious she and that other girl aren’t on good terms. Is there really a need to ruin our fun?"
They had waited a long time to set up this trap. Yun Zijin’s appearance had already half-ruined it. If Li Cui was taken away too, their whole night would have been for nothing.
They had offered up a lot for this. If they didn’t get anything out of it, they would be total suckers.
Zero One didn’t care if it was cool or not; all he knew was that this was a task from the Miss.
He strode forward, grabbed the man’s wrist, and twisted. As the man screamed in pain, Li Cui’s hand was freed.
Li Cui didn’t have time for anything else; she turned and bolted for the door.
"Li Cui, if you dare to leave today, you’ll definitely regret it!"
Ren Hui shot to her feet and chased after Li Cui, trying to stop her.
But Li Cui couldn’t care about anything else at that moment. She didn’t even register what Ren Hui was shouting as she focused solely on running for the door.
The moment Li Cui broke free, Zero One snapped the dislocated bone back into place, followed by another scream from the man.
"Stop him! I’m going to sue him for assault!"
The other men in the room swarmed forward, but there was no way these useless louts could stop Zero One.
Before long, under Zero One’s protection, Li Cui successfully escaped the private room.
Just then, Ren Hui also chased out of the room. She viciously grabbed Li Cui’s wrist, squeezing so hard that it began to bruise.
"Li Cui, you can’t leave!"
Yun Zijin had a bodyguard, and Qin Sitong was protected by Yun Zijin. Ren Hui could let them go, but why Li Cui?!
’She’s just a dog I keep around. On what grounds does she get to leave safely with Yun Zijin, leaving me to face the consequences!’
Ren Hui could already imagine the situation she would face if even Li Cui left her behind.
This was supposed to be a setup to increase her own leverage, but it had turned into her personal hell!
How could Ren Hui accept this?!
"Why can’t I leave? You just told me your boyfriend was treating us to a meal. You never said there’d be so many men here with bad intentions!
If I’d known what you were planning, I never would have come today! If Yun Zijin hadn’t brought a bodyguard, I don’t even need to say what would have happened to me!
Ren Hui, do you have any idea what you’re doing? Yes, I’ve been sucking up to you to get some benefits, and you’ve treated me like your dog. I never complained about any of that, because it was the path I chose. But you... you actually tried to throw me into those men’s beds! I’m not an idiot!"
Li Cui had always been hesitant to speak too bluntly, intimidated by Ren Hui’s family background.
But Ren Hui’s actions today had thoroughly chilled her to the bone.
Perhaps because Yun Zijin’s bodyguard was standing right there, Li Cui suddenly found her courage and dared to confront Ren Hui head-on.
She could get by without Ren Hui. She’d just have no one to talk to in the dorm, that’s all. It wasn’t like she couldn’t live without her.
But to sacrifice her own innocence for Ren Hui’s sake? That was something Li Cui absolutely could not do.
Yun Zijin was a bit surprised by Li Cui’s sudden outburst. After all, she had always been incredibly tolerant of Ren Hui.
She hadn’t expected them to have a complete falling-out over this incident.
"Enough chitchat. I haven’t even had dinner yet. I’m starving. Let’s go."
Yun Zijin didn’t want to waste any more time here. She was getting hungry, and her temper was starting to fray.
"No! If you all leave, what about me!"
Ren Hui didn’t want to face all those men’s questions alone. Even though Sun Zi was her boyfriend, she knew exactly what kind of person he was.
If she were left here alone, tonight would absolutely be a nightmare!
Yun Zijin was speechless.
"Well then, why don’t you come with us?"
Although Ren Hui’s intentions were vicious, Yun Zijin couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, knowing what would happen to Ren Hui if she stayed.
Of course, if Ren Hui hadn’t chased after them, Yun Zijin probably wouldn’t have bothered.
"I can’t! If I leave, my boyfriend’s family won’t invest in my family’s company, and my dad will break my legs."
Yun Zijin was at a loss for words. ’Don’t tell me you want *me* to invest in your dad’s company? You wish.’
"Are you sure that bastard has the money to invest in your family’s company?"
Yun Zijin remembered from the file Zero One had given her that Sun Zi was just a bartender. His "rich heir" identity was a complete fabrication.
And he used this "rich heir" persona to deceive many naive young women. Setups like today’s were just one of Sun Zi’s ways of making extra cash.
’This Ren Hui... I really have no idea how she got into Dijing University if she can’t even see through a scam like this.’
"What do you mean?"
Ren Hui felt there was a hidden meaning in Yun Zijin’s words.
"It means your boyfriend’s ’rich heir’ status is fake."
Qin Sitong wasn’t nearly as tactful as Yun Zijin, spelling out bluntly what the other had only implied.
"Miss Qin, you can eat whatever you like, but you can’t just say whatever you like."
Sun Zi had appeared at the door of the private room at some point.
