Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1972 - 1945: Intervention

Feeling the cold aura emanating from Lu Tianxing, Wei Xu’s face turned increasingly unsightly. At this moment, he wished he could slap the woman in front of him to death. For someone with poor judgment, why would you provoke Qiu Yingrong? Even if you have provoked Qiu Yingrong, can’t you watch your mouth? Saying Qiu Yingrong’s daughter is ill-mannered, do you really not know how many eyes Lord Ma has, nor how to spell the word "death"?

But with the situation developing to this point, Wei Xu was left with only two paths: either stand firm to the end, or take a step back. However, once he stepped back, it would be up to Qiu Tianrui whether to let him go. Moreover, if he admitted defeat this time, he would truly become a laughingstock.

For a family scion, money and women are unimportant. What matters is face; fighting for pride rather than sustenance.

"Fine, Miss Qiu, you said it yourself. This dress is a global limited edition. As long as you can provide me with an identical one, I’ll offer you an explanation. If not, it’s up to me how things go." Wei Xu looked icily at Qiu Tianrui and said.

The woman who was just flamboyantly arrogant now realized the trouble she’d caused, stood pale and speechless beside Wei Xu, trembling in fear, not daring to say a single word of dissent.

After hearing Wei Xu’s words, Qiu Tianrui and Qiu Yingrong’s faces turned grim. Wei Xu’s words were simply unreasonable demands. The dress is a limited edition with only twenty pieces worldwide. Finding one is challenging enough, and even if found, would the owner be willing to part with it? Would they lack money?

Wei Xu’s words were clearly putting them in a difficult position, yet there was nothing they could refute. If they demanded compensation, the Ran Family also agreed to it, and they didn’t ask for much, just a duplicate dress. Wei Xu’s demand seemed unreasonable, but it was irrefutable and, in a sense, flawless.

Wei Xu observed Qiu Yingrong and Qiu Tianrui’s expressions: "Young Master Qiu, Miss Qiu, I have given you an option for compensation. If you cannot achieve it, I hope this matter can be written off. Additionally, I will have my woman apologize to you. How about that?"

At this point, Wei Xu seemed to remember something and then set his gaze on Lu Tianxing: "Mr. Lu, I know you have vast connections, but this matter is between me and Qiu Tianrui. I hope you won’t get involved."

In Wei Xu’s heart, his greatest fear was Lu Tianxing’s involvement in the issue, not because he feared Lu Tianxing could find an identical dress but because Lu Tianxing’s power was terrifying. Offending Lu Tianxing had no benefit for him.

"Not get involved?"

Upon hearing Wei Xu’s words, Lu Tianxing smiled coldly: "Young Master Wei, you seem to have forgotten something. Do you need me to remind you?"

"What is it?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing, Wei Xu’s expression changed slightly, and a sense of foreboding rose within him.

Ignoring Wei Xu’s changing expression, Lu Tianxing turned his gaze to Lingling and smiled, "Lingling, what do you call me?"

"Daddy!"

Lingling called out sweetly, naturally wrapping her arms around Lu Tianxing’s neck. In her young mind, as long as Lu Tianxing was by her side, no one in the world could harm her.

Wei Xu’s face darkened considerably when he heard Lingling call Lu Tianxing "daddy": "Mr. Lu, this..."

Before Wei Xu could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted him, saying flatly: "Young Master Wei, did you hear what my daughter called me? Your woman bullied my daughter, and you still expect me to stand by and do nothing. Don’t you think it’s laughable? How about I cripple you and then let your family stand by and disregard the matter?"

"Mr. Lu, do you really want to get involved?" Wei Xu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Yes, I want to get involved. What can you do about it?" Lu Tianxing looked at Wei Xu, his tone indifferent. A person like Wei Xu, if ignorant of his place, could be easily handled.

"Tianxing, this matter has nothing to do with you, I..."

Qiu Yingrong, seeing the tension between Lu Tianxing and Wei Xu escalating, instinctively opened her mouth to say something, but Lu Tianxing interrupted her before she could finish.

"Miss Qiu, I know what you want to say, but I’ve already discussed it with Young Master Qiu. In a few days, we’ll choose an auspicious day and formally acknowledge Lingling as my goddaughter. Now someone wants to bully my daughter, do you think I can ignore it? If word spreads, others may think I’m a useless person who can’t even protect his own daughter!"

Without giving Qiu Yingrong a chance to speak again, Lu Tianxing turned his gaze to Wei Xu, speaking with an unwavering tone: "Young Master Wei, earlier you said that as long as I compensate you with an identical dress, you will give me a reasonable explanation, right?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Wei Xu instinctively wanted to deny it, but the words stuck in his throat. He had already made the statement, and if he went back on it now, he would become a joke, utterly losing face.

No matter what Wei Xu thought in his heart, he had to persist, unless he didn’t care about his reputation.

But would Wei Xu disregard his reputation?

Evidently, this was almost impossible.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Xu said solemnly: "Yes, I said it. As long as a duplicate dress is provided to compensate my female companion, I will no longer pursue the matter, and will give Miss Qiu a reasonable explanation. If not, I hope this matter can end here."

At this moment, Wei Xu did not speak definitively. Although he was a playboy, he wasn’t stupid. Ripping apart with either Qiu Tianrui or Lu Tianxing would not benefit him at all.

"Tianxing, are you really sure?"

Qiu Yingrong’s gaze fell on Lu Tianxing, her face filled with undisguised worry. The dress the woman wore was Chanel’s latest release, globally limited to only twenty pieces. This woman wore one, meaning only nineteen were out there. They might all be abroad, and although Lu Tianxing was powerful, finding an identical dress in a short time was nearly impossible.
