Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 100

Chapter 100 Why Did You Hit Him?
When Gu Nianbin returned to the city, he first sent Xia Xiaowan home and then went back to his own home. On the way, he called Du Xiaoxian. The phone call rang, but she did not answer. It was getting late. Could it be that she hadn’t come home yet? He called again. This time, the phone got through. The deafening music came from the other end of the phone. Du Xiaoxian changed from being listless in the afternoon and now happily shouted, “You’re back? We’re singing!” Sometimes, she was too excited and her words would carry a little bit of her hometown accent, and it sounded very interesting.

“Where are you?” Gu Nianbin frowned.

Du Xiaoxian probably didn’t know, so she asked Shao Boqing before saying, “We’re at the Golden Wheat KTV!”

Gu Nianbin knew that place. It was Shao Boqing’s haunts. He turned the car at the intersection in the front and sped towards the Golden Wheat KTV.

At the gate, without needing him to ask, the waiter nodded and bowed to show him to the VIP room. Shao Boqing was a distinguished guest here. Even if Gu Nianbin had only come with him once, his face had already been firmly remembered by the waiter.

The waiter brought Gu Nianbin to the VIP room. Before he could knock on the door, Gu Nianbin already pushed the door open. The room was dark, with blue and purple electronic laser lights flashing around. Du Xiaoxian was happily singing the children’s song “Little Rabbit Be Good.” She had a microphone in one hand, and her other hand was raised on her head to imitate as long rabbit ears with two fingers. She jumped up and down with both feet. Her voice was delicate and sharp, which was indeed a little like a child’s voice, and she sang the song quite well like that. Shao Boqing fell on the sofa, clapping his hands while smiling from ear to ear. Zhou Ting rang the bells in each hand, trying her best to cheer for her. No one noticed Gu Nianbin’s arrival.

Gu Nianbin stood there in a daze. He was very surprised at Du Xiaoxian’s current state. Although she was a bit more courageous now, she wouldn’t go so far as to have fun like that! She was actually singing and dancing!

Gu Nianbin did not know whether he should be happy or angry. He did not like the way Shao Boqing watched Du Xiaoxian clown around. He’d just take it as that Du Xiaoxian was currently clowning around. But even if he only saw Du Xiaoxian’s back, he could still feel her happiness. She was really happy, so she sang and danced!

Gu Nianbin hesitated for a moment and didn’t interrupt her. Fortunately, the children’s song was not long, and it ended after repeating three times. He raised his foot and was about to walk over when Zhou Ting already rose her intonation and announced, “The next song, Big-Headed Son and Little-Headed Father, will still be sung by Miss Du Xiaoxian. Welcome, everyone!”

At this moment, Shao Boqing also held a ringing bell in his hand. As he shook the bell, he started to cheer loudly.

Gu Nianbin turned on the light on the wall. The sudden light in the darkness made the three of them look back altogether. When Du Xiaoxian saw him, she happily pounced over and said, “You’re back!”

“If I don’t come back, you’ll still have a good time!” Gu Nianbin’s words sounded somewhat jealous.

Du Xiaoxian did not notice that and kept nodding her head. “Hmm, I’m very happy! Come, what do you want to sing? I’ll search the song for you, I know how to search a song now!” As she spoke, she pulled Gu Nianbin to the jukebox.

Gu Nianbin said, “I’m not singing. Just have fun yourself.” He didn’t come to places like this often because he felt that it was too noisy. Occasionally, he would be taken here by Shao Boqing, but he never sang. He only drank wine with them.

Du Xiaoxian was slightly disappointed and said, “Aren’t you going to sing? Mr. Shao has already sung.”

Shao Boqing poured a mouthful of beer into his mouth and smiled. “Xiaoxian, don’t compare him with me. He’s tone-deaf, not even as good as you.”

Gu Nianbin glanced at him and sat down to open a bottle of beer for himself. At this moment, Du Xiaoxian picked up a bottle of opened beer and clinked it lightly against his bottle. Her movement was as casual as a person who often hung out at night clubs. Gu Nianbin was dumbfounded as he watched Du Xiaoxian drink beer with her neck up. He suddenly wanted to curse! In one day’s time, how could his innocent and cute little girl look like a different person? Shao Boqing, this bastard, had turned Nina into a nightclub queen, yet now he actually dared to put his eyes on his little girl. He grabbed Du Xiaoxian’s beer bottle and shouted, “Who taught you to drink beer?”

When President Gu got angry, the beautiful atmosphere disappeared. Du Xiaoxian stood there with a wronged expression and twisted her fingers. Zhou Ting gently put the ringing bells back on the table and did not dare to make any noise. Shao Boqing frowned and said, “Nianbin, you scared her.”

Gu Nianbin coldly glanced at him and said, “I’ll come after you later.” He stood up and pulled Du Xiaoxian to leave. He did not expect that Du Xiaoxian, who had always been obedient, would shake off his hand. She looked at him timidly and stubbornly. “I want to stay here.”

Gu Nianbin had been holding back his anger. The little girl’s words seemed to have detonated the fuse. He was extremely angry, and instead of venting his anger, he laughed. “Are you sure you want to stay here?”

Du Xiaoxian nodded. It was because Shao Boqing saw that she had been sullen that he suggested singing here. She drank beer, had barbecue, sang songs, and danced here. How happy she was! Why would Gu Nianbin get angry the moment he came?

“Alright, then, have fun.” Gu Nianbin held the coat he had just taken off in his hand and left decisively without saying a second word.

As soon as he left, Du Xiaoxian cried out aloud. Zhou Ting quickly hugged her in her arms and comforted her gently, “Don’t cry, Xiaoxian. Boss is probably in a bad mood. It’s fine. He will come to pick you up later. Don’t cry. Be good, okay, don’t cry…”

Shao Boqing’s face was gloomy. He slapped the table and cursed. He then said to Zhou Ting, “Take care of her here. I’ll chase after Gu Nianbin.”

Gu Nianbin walked very fast. Shao Boqing ran to catch up with him downstairs. At that time, he had already opened the car door. It seemed like he was really going to leave. Shao Boqing grabbed him and roared in a low voice, “Are you out of your mind? Xiaoxian is crying upstairs!”

Gu Nianbin felt a piercing pain in his heart, but he didn’t show it on the surface. “Apart from crying, what else can she do?”

“What the hell is wrong with you? Who has offended you? Why did you vent your anger on Xiaoxian?” Shao Boqing questioned him.

Gu Nianbin shook off his hand and sneered. “How do you have the shame to say this? Who taught her to drink?” He could already see why Du Xiaoxian had become different from usual. Because she drank wine, and the alcohol bolstered her courage, then she dared to sing and dance, and even dared to go against him! He was angry that Du Xiaoxian drank wine with other men, and was even angrier that Shao Boqing, the culprit, had taught her to do that.

“What’s wrong with drinking some beer?” Shao Boqing shouted at him, “She’s already eighteen, she’s not a child!”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Nianbin stared at him fiercely and suddenly punched him.

Shao Boqing reacted quickly and dodged, but he staggered and fell to the ground. A lot of people were watching. Young Master Shao felt embarrassed immediately. He jumped up and rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fist and shouted at Gu Nianbin, “If you want to fight, say it early. Come on, come!”

President Gu was enraged, and Young Master Shao was humiliated. The war was about to break out. A group of young people rushed out from the KTV and the manager led the team to persuade them not to fight. The manager was originally delighted with the arrival of the distinguished guests. He didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, these two distinguished guests would be in a fight. They were all important figures in G City. If the news went out, who would dare to come to their KTV in the future? Those noble young masters would think that their place was somewhere they might get into trouble! Thus, as soon as he heard the news, the manager immediately brought a group of strong boys out to stop them from fighting each other.

The two protagonists were pulled back by others but still looked unwilling to give up. They fought against each other with their fire-flaming eyes in the air. At this time, two people rushed out of the gate. It was Du Xiaoxian and Zhou Ting. Hearing from the waiter that Gu Nianbin and Shao Boqing were fighting downstairs, Du Xiaoxian had no time to cry anymore. She raised her foot and ran out. Zhou Ting followed behind and the two of them ran outside one after the other.

Du Xiaoxian quickly wiped her eyes and entered the crowd, standing in front of Gu Nianbin. Shao Boqing suddenly felt like laughing when he saw her staring at him with her big eyes, as if he was an unforgivable villain. “Are you kidding me, little girl? Aren’t you an ungrateful soul? Who am I fighting for?” He thought to himself.

Du Xiaoxian wasn’t someone who was unreasonable, but the situation was so chaotic that she couldn’t think about it. She instinctively stood by Gu Nianbin’s side and shouted at Shao Boqing, “Why did you hit him?”

Shao Boqing felt that he had become the most innocent person in the world. He really wanted to ask the little girl which of her eyes had seen him hit Gu Nianbin? It was clearly Gu Nianbin who made the first move, okay?

However, in Du Xiaoxian’s impression, Shao Boqing had slapped the table and chased after Gu Nianbin while holding back his anger. If he caught up with Gu Nianbin and had a quarrel with him, he would definitely resort to violence. Shao Boqing had never been a very calm person.

Seeing the little girl stand before him, the blazing fire in President Gu’s heart was instantly drenched in sweet dew and extinguished. However, the man’s self-esteem caused him to remain sullen, but his voice softened. He pulled Du Xiaoxian and said, “What are you doing down here?”

Du Xiaoxian already knew how to distinguish his emotions and knew that his anger had dissipated. So she lowered her head and said, “I’ll go back with you.”

As soon as the little girl compromised, President Gu was too lazy to bother with Shao Boqing anymore and pulled Du Xiaoxian away.

Shao Boqing stood on the side of the street and watched their car leave. He looked up at the sky and sighed dejectedly. He turned around and saw Zhou Ting was still there. He was furious at Zhou Ting then, “Your boss has already left. What are you still doing here? What else do you want to do to me?”

Zhou Ting did not want to argue with him. She complained about him in her heart, “What can I do to you as a girl? If it weren’t for the fact that you are still angry and I’m afraid you might cause trouble again, I would have left long ago, alright?”

“Well, Boss Shao, why don’t you call sister-in-law to pick you up?” Zhou Ting said.

“Pick me up?” Shao Boqing said angrily, “Can’t I go back by myself?”

“You drank a lot today. Can you drive?” Zhou Ting said, “I was the one who drove us here after dinner!”

“Then what are you talking about? Can’t you just send me back?”

Zhou Ting opened her mouth but then swallowed the sentence that had come to her tongue. She said helplessly, “Alright, alright, I’ll send you back.”

Shao Boqing tossed her the car keys and said, “Drive safely. Don’t scratch my car.”

Zhou Ting wanted to say that if he didn’t think she could drive safely, then he could just not ask her to send him back. He asked for a favor yet still had many requests. As a new driver who drove at less than 40 yards an hour, how could she get his car scratched?

Actually, Zhou Ting had gotten her driver’s license in college. However, there weren’t many chances for her to drive later on. Only when she went out to help Gu Nianbin with his personal affairs that he didn’t want others to know, did she get up the courage to drive. Therefore, in her heart, she always thought of herself as a new driver.

Sure enough, before they moved far, Shao Boqing began to be picky about everything. “Can you speed up? Even snails crawl faster than you.”

After a while, he said, “Can I get home before twelve o’clock?”

After a while, he said again, “How did you get your driver’s license? Pulled some strings, huh?”

The more he said, the more nervous Zhou Ting became. Finally, she could not help but talk back, “Boss Shao, you are too picky. I drove from the restaurant to the KTV just now, but I didn’t see you behaving like this. Don’t vent your anger on me! No wonder Nina quitted her job!”

“Stop the car!” Shao Boqing roared, scaring Zhou Ting to the point that she stepped on the brake and stopped the car in the middle of the road.
