Chapter 14: Even Jerks Have Someone to Fear_1

```

"Come one, come all, take a look! Mr. Cao's exclusive close-up shot of him wetting his pants, now publicly available for free.

Hurry up and enjoy folks, once this chance is gone, there won't be another store like this!"

Shen Siyi's smug voice made Cao Bangxi want to vomit blood.

He wasn't afraid of people knowing his penchant for married women, in fact, he took pride in it, but wetting his pants was downright humiliating.

Given his understanding of Shen Siyi, by the end of the night, he was sure to acquire the nickname "Cao Niaoku."

Cao Bangxi clenched his teeth, slowly rose to his feet by the window, and glared at Shen Siyi with a murderous look.

"Shen, you wait, this isn't over.

One day, I will make you kneel and eat back every word you said today!"

"Wow, Mr. Cao is so fierce, I'm so scared!"

Shen Siyi in the other room was screaming and taunting Cao Bangxi, while at the doorway, Yun Shi Yu had already sent the security away and was extending her hand to Jiang Xue.

"Mrs. Xiao, hello, my name is Yun Shi Yu, and I am the owner of this restaurant.

I sincerely apologize for the displeasure caused to you this evening."

Caught off guard by Yun Shi Yu's beauty and heiress's demeanor, Jiang Xue felt confused and instinctively looked at Xiao Ming before taking her hand.

"Miss Yun, you are too polite; it was just a misunderstanding. Just now, I heard sounds like my husband was involved in a scuffle with your restaurant's staff, and for that inconvenience, we are willing to compensate for any damages."

"No need," Yun Shi Yu smiled. "On the contrary, I have to thank Mr. Xiao. If it weren't for him, I would still be unaware that my own staff could be so two-faced."

At this moment, a waiter appeared at the private room's door, "Miss, some police officers have arrived outside; they are looking for someone named Zhang Anli."

The room fell silent upon hearing the waiter's words, followed by everyone hearing a nauseating moaning sound coming from the bathroom.

Xiao Ming's lips curled up, pointing towards the bathroom, "The person they're looking for is inside."

In the bathroom, Zhang Anli had stripped himself naked, his face beet red, his eyes glazed, and strange cries coming from his mouth, completely oblivious to what had happened.

The police officers' faces looked as though they had touched filth when they cuffed him.

This terrified Jiang Xue enormously.

Just imagining herself in a degrading position like Zhang Anli made her scalp tingle uncontrollably, and she subconsciously leaned against Xiao Ming.

Feeling his wife's fear, Xiao Ming gently embraced her shoulder; seeing her not rejecting him, he silently rejoiced inside.

The first step in mending their relationship wasn't bad; he considered it a good start.

Seeing Zhang Anli's body writhing like maggots, Yang Hanqing also came completely to her senses, cursing herself for even hesitating due to spousal loyalty to such a person; she had clearly lost her mind.

"Designer Jiang, I'm sorry about tonight's event; the company is at fault for your discomfort."

She held Jiang Xue's hand earnestly, "I have to go to the police station to give a statement now, and I'm short on time. Do you have some free time the day after tomorrow? I'd like to invite you and Mr. Xiao for a casual meal and formally apologize."

Jiang Xue shook her head, "Zhang Anli's behavior was his own doing, and I wasn't injured, so Mr. Yang, you don't need to be so formal."

"A mistake is a mistake, and I must take responsibility for it." Yang Hanqing sneakily glanced at Xiao Ming, "Let's make it tomorrow then; I will treat you for lunch tomorrow noon."

The boss had made a decision, and naturally, Jiang Xue wouldn't object, but Xiao Ming snorted, "Ms. Yang certainly carries quite the boss's airs!"

Yang Hanqing's heart skipped a beat, "Mr. Xiao, you misunderstand, I didn't mean to force you..."

"The invitation to eat is up to you; whether we have time is up to us. Ms. Yang, you go ahead and keep busy; we'll wait for a phone call."

Yang Hanqing felt a tad aggrieved but helpless; she could only agree with a smile and then turned to Cao Bangxi.

"Mr. Cao, I am really sorry for what happened today..."

"Yang Hanqing," Xiao Ming interrupted her again, "the police officers are still waiting for you to give your statement."

Yang Hanqing felt even more aggrieved, thinking in her mind, you might not care about Cao Bangxi with your mysterious background, but the Cao Family is a significant property owner in Longyin City, and my company relies on them for business.

"How can you talk to Mr. Yang like that?"

Jiang Xue glared at Xiao Ming and apologized to Yang, "Mr. Yang, please don't mind him; that's just the way he is, he often speaks without thinking."

Seeing Xiao Ming obediently keep quiet, Yang Hanqing finally felt as if the dark clouds above her head had dispersed, and she felt lighter.

So even this bastard had someone he feared, eh? If I foster a good relationship with Jiang Xue, wouldn't it be easy to deal with him in the future?

With gleeful goodbye, the poor CEO had completely fallen into Xiao Ming's psychological trap—she had no need to be afraid at all.

After the police briefly understood the situation, they left, and Cao Bangxi finally had a moment to speak to Yun Shi Yu.

"Miss Yun, I'm sorry to have caused such a scene tonight. When you have time some other day, I'd like to offer you a drink to apologize, and I hope you..."

"Don't dare. Mr. Cao, you set a trap on my territory, even got my staff caught up in it for your sake, your methods are not to be underestimated; how could I accept your apology?"

Yun Shi Yu's tone was flat, yet it frightened Cao Bangxi enough for sweat to bead on his forehead and his back to bend ever so slightly.

Jiang Xue stood by, staring wide-eyed.

The Cao Family is the leading property enterprise in Longyin City; even Yang Hanqing had to curry favour carefully, but why was Yun Shi Yu, just a restaurant owner, able to instill such fear in Cao Bangxi?

Most crucially, this fairy-like girl seemed very familiar with her husband.

How did they know each other?

At that moment, Jiang Xue suddenly felt that her husband of the past two years might not be as simple as just a gambling addict.
