Sweet Temptation! The Beauty in President Pei's Palm is Too Alluring

Huang Qili was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what had happened.

He wiped his face, his expression ashen, pointed at Shu Hua, his voice trembling with anger: "You...you dare..."

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Shu Hua met his gaze, unyielding. "Mr. Huang, this is a society governed by law. Your actions just now constitute sexual harassment. Should I call the police and let them judge this?"

Huang Qili was momentarily speechless.

Call the police? This is really getting out of hand, and he'll lose face. But if he just lets it go like this, being publicly humiliated by a young girl with wine thrown at him, how will he ever face anyone in Jiangcheng again?

Huang Qili has been running rampant in Jiangcheng for so many years, when has he ever suffered such a loss?

He sneered, his fat face jiggling. "Fine! Sharp-tongued, huh? Call the police? Go ahead! Let's see if the police listen to you or me in Jiangcheng!" He grinned maliciously, his eyes sweeping over the Pei family group with a sinister look. "You splashed me with wine? Fine! I guess you don't want to talk about this cooperation anymore! Director Qiao, is this the quality of your Pei family employees? Is this how you ask for cooperation?!"

Knowing things had escalated, Qiao Na steeled herself and stepped forward, trying to smooth things over: "Mr. Huang, I'm so sorry, Shu Hua is young and doesn't know any better. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against her..."

"Ignorant?" Mr. Huang shoved away Qiao Na's outstretched hand, which she was trying to use to help him, with considerable force. Qiao Na stumbled from the push. "I think she's lawless! She splashed me with wine; this isn't over!"

He pointed to the half-empty bottle of liquor on the table, his eyes fixed on Shu Hua with a sinister glint in his eyes: "I'm telling you this now! Nobody's leaving until you finish this bottle!"

His subordinates and that General Manager Xia either kept their heads down or had shifty eyes; none of them dared to provoke Huang Qili at this moment. That old lecher, when he went berserk, would show no mercy to even his closest relatives.

Looking at his ugly face, Shu Hua felt nauseous.

I couldn't be bothered to waste my breath arguing with this kind of person, so I just took out my phone to call the police.

"What do you want to do?!" Upon seeing this, Huang Qili rushed over and tried to snatch her phone.

"Watch out!" Li Cheng and Zhang Kai shouted almost simultaneously.

Shu Hua was prepared, but the other party moved too quickly, and her phone was still knocked away, crashing to the ground with a "thud." Huang Qili, still not satisfied, grabbed a half-empty glass and splashed it at Shu Hua's face!

"Shu Hua!" Li Cheng, who was closest, stepped aside to block her without thinking, and Zhang Kai also subconsciously reached out to stop her.

Most of the drinks were blocked by Li Cheng and Zhang Kai, but a few drops still splashed onto Shu Hua's hair and cheeks, wetting a small area.

"Shu Hua, are you alright?" Li Cheng looked at her, his eyes filled with undisguised concern.

Li Cheng turned around and glared at Huang Qili: "President Huang! You've gone too far!"

Seeing that he hadn't splashed the target, Huang Qili became even more enraged, pointing at Shu Hua's nose and cursing, "You little bitch, don't push your luck! Today I'm going to..."

Shu Hua picked up the phone; the screen was broken, but it was still usable.

"Mr. Huang, would you like to have a drink with me?" She looked up at Huang Qili and suddenly smiled. It was a cold smile. "Our Shu family's wine cellar in Huacheng has quite a few fine wines. How about it, Mr. Huang, would you dare to do me the honor?"

"The Shu family?" Huang Qili was furious and cursed without thinking, "What the hell are you talking about! I don't care about your Shu family or Li family..."

Finally, President Xia, who had been silent all along, spoke up. He tugged at President Huang's sleeve and lowered his voice, "Old Huang, that's enough..."

He winked and whispered a reminder: "It's the Shu family from Huacheng."

The anger on Huang Qili's face froze instantly.

Huacheng...the Shu family?

Anyone in this circle knows which families stand at the very top of Huacheng's elite elite. The Shu family is a true old-established family with a deep foundation, numerous branches, and businesses all over the world. They are the real elite families that nouveau riche like them in Jiangcheng, who flaunt their wealth, can't even find a way to curry favor with.

He had tried to get in touch with the Shu family before, sending countless lavish gifts and pulling many strings, but he couldn't even get an audience with one of the Shu family's stewards, and his gifts were returned untouched. Later, he vaguely heard that the Shu family had apparently formed a marriage alliance with the Pei family…

The woman in front of me is surnamed Shu... Shu Hua...

Is it...

His mind went blank, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

Suddenly, a cold, emotionless voice came from the doorway of the private room:

"Huang Qili, how dare you!"

Everyone turned to look.

Everyone, without prior arrangement, turned to look at the doorway.

The heavy wooden door to the private room had been pushed open at some point. Standing there was Pei Yanzhou, a man dressed in a black shirt and black trousers, exuding a chilling and powerful aura.

Behind him followed Chen Yifei, and several burly men in black suits.

The man strode in. The light fell on him, illuminating his cold, sharp features. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his high-bridged nose, and the gaze behind the lenses was unfathomable.

Their gazes first fell on Shu Hua.

Seeing that although her hair and shoulders were slightly wet, she was alright, the coldness in his eyes softened a little.

Shu Hua, who had been like a little hedgehog with its quills raised, defiant and determined to fight to the end, suddenly felt a pang of sadness when she saw Pei Yanzhou. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at him with a look of dependence and grievance that she herself was unaware of.

When Li Cheng, who was standing next to her, saw Pei Yanzhou enter, the last bit of hope in his heart vanished completely.

Everyone present was awestruck by Pei Yanzhou's aura.

Huang Qili, in particular. His arrogant and domineering demeanor from just moments ago had turned into one of terror and cold sweat.

Pei... Pei Yanzhou?!

Why would he come in person?!

Pei Yanzhou ignored everyone's reactions. He walked straight to Shu Hua and said in a calm voice, "Step back a bit, be careful not to get hurt."

Qiao Na realized what was happening and quickly pulled Shu Hua to stand aside.

Pei Yanzhou then stopped at the table, his gaze sweeping over the mess on the table before finally settling on Huang Qili, who was trembling all over.

He pulled out a chair, sat down calmly, tapped his long fingers lightly on the table, and curled his lips into a cold smile: "What are you all standing for? Sit down."

"I happened to be in Jiangcheng on some business, and I heard that General Manager Huang was warmly entertaining my Pei Group employees here, so I stopped by to take a look, and while I was at it..." He paused, "...to have a couple of drinks with General Manager Huang. General Manager Huang, you won't mind, will you?"

Huang Qili's legs went weak under his gaze, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Gone was his earlier arrogance; a smile more like a grimace appeared on his face as he frantically picked up a wine glass and bowed obsequiously as he approached.

"Welcome! Of course you're welcome! It's an honor for me, Mr. Pei, to grace us with your presence! I... I toast you! I'll punish myself with three drinks! No, ten drinks!"

As he spoke, he was about to pour the glass of wine into his mouth.

"Drinking like this," Pei Yanzhou said slowly, interrupting his actions, "isn't very interesting."
