My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"Tiger, apologize!"

The old woman cocked her head.

"Fenjie, I..."

The thug kicking Xu Peng showed a look of frustration. In his eyes, Xu Peng was a donkey from the production team, picked by the old woman to satisfy her physical needs.

Whereas he, at least, held the title of head of security at the old woman's company.

"Do my words carry no weight anymore?"

The old woman's expression darkened.

"Alright... Fenjie, I apologize..."

The thug clenched his teeth, took a couple of steps, and looked at Xu Peng with evident unwillingness: "That... I'm sorry!"

"You kick someone and then issue a flimsy apology? You think you can have it all your own way?"

Qin Yu glanced at the thug and asked indifferently.

"So what do you want to do about it?"

The thug said irritably.

"Bighead, kick him back!"

Qin Yu said coldly.

Having spent the better part of a year with Yan Mingyu, he had gradually learned one thing: the colder and more heartless you are, the more respect you gain from others. The kinder and more tender-hearted you are, the more they treat you like a doormat.

Good people get good rewards—it's just soul-soothing bullshit concocted by the higher classes to control the common folk.

Whoever believes it is an idiot!

"Huh?"

Xu Peng was taken aback, the thug's ferocious demeanor instilling fear deep in his bones.

"Kick! He's got a nose and two eyes just like you. If he can hit you, why can't you hit him?"

Qin Yu urged.

"You dare!"

The thug glared at Xu Peng with a menacing look.

"I... I... to hell with you!"

Though Xu Peng was a timid and cowardly person, he didn't want to be looked down upon by his only brother. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly lashed out with a kick.

"Thud, thud..."

The thug took the blow, clutched his belly, and said nothing, just watching Xu Peng with a chillingly cold face: "Hmph, satisfied now?"

"I..."

Xu Peng felt his back go hairy under the thug's ferocious gaze. Stammering, he didn't know what to say.

"I'm the one who told him to kick you. If you want retaliation, come find me. My name is Qin Yu, 'Qin' as in Qin Shi Huang, 'Yu' as in universe!"

Qin Yu stood up, walked over to Xu Peng and said.

Yes, Xu Peng was just an invisible nobody among millions of ordinary people; timid, lecherous, but he managed to scrape together a hundred thousand dollars by exhausting himself. And he wanted to give it all to himself.

Moreover, when he was still delivering food, he had always treated him with utmost respect, calling him 'Boss' at every turn.

If someone bullied him, and I don't stand up for him, who will?

"You... are Qin Yu?"

The old woman's eyes widened slightly, a look of surprise crossing her face.

"Genuine as they come!"

Qin Yu nodded.

"I'm totally convinced, don't worry, we won't seek revenge. Tiger, let's go..."

The old woman called to the thug, and the group left the restaurant, getting into a BMW parked at the entrance.

After driving some distance away, the thug known as Tiger spoke sullenly, "Fenjie, is that Qin Yu really famous?"

"Not just famous, maybe you don't know, but I've heard, Four Seas Corporation has at least a thousand bodyguards and security guards, and he's the best fighter among them.

That's not all. You know the Liu Family, one of the Four Great Families of East Sea? Liu Zhixiong, Liu Yupan have both been beaten by him, and the second time was right in front of the city's honorables and high society. Guess what happened after?

The Liu Family was ruined and disgracefully left East Sea. So whether it's playing fair or dirty, we can't compete with him. Today we've really hit a steel plate. This matter ends here, and nobody better cause any more trouble!"

The old woman spoke with a hint of severity.

Might makes right, a game rule applicable whether in high society or the lowest depths. The old woman knew she herself couldn't accomplish any of the feats Qin Yu had managed—not even if she fought tooth and nail—yet, Qin Yu did.

She had no other thoughts in her mind besides admiration.

"Uh... I understand, Sister Fen!"

With a slumped shoulder, he nodded his head, acknowledging that while everyone has a temper, if you don't have the ability to handle the aftermath, it's best to keep your temper in check. In this society, aside from your parents, there's no one else who will pamper you.

Just as Qin Yu said, we are all adults, and whatever we do, we ultimately have to pay the price for our actions.

...

In the restaurant.

The landlady brought over the Bandit Chicken, Spicy Fish, and Overlord Shrimp, all of which were her specialties and dishes that back when Qin Yu and Xu Peng worked as delivery boys, they couldn't afford to indulge in.

"Hehe, Third Sister, bring a few more bottles of beer!"

Qin Yu said to the landlady with a smile.

He had followed Yan Mingyu to meals costing tens of thousands per table, but after all that, he still felt that the flavor of these small restaurants suited his palate best.

Maybe, at heart, he was just an ordinary person.

"Sure, coming right up. Hehe, I would've never guessed, Qin Yu, you've really made something of yourself!"

The landlady's greasy hand gave Qin Yu's shoulder a pat.

"Oh no, not at all..."

Qin Yu remained very modest.

Soon, the landlady brought over several bottles of ice-cold beer, which, paired with the spicy and fragrant dishes, was absolutely perfect.

"Boss... thank you for standing up for me, I'll start with this one!"

With reddened eyes, Xu Peng grabbed a bottle of beer and put it to his mouth.

"Hey, take it easy!"

Qin Yu was a bit amused yet concerned.

"Burp..."

Once Xu Peng had gulped down a bottle of beer, Qin Yu seriously said, "Big Head, have you thought about changing your job? What do you think about joining Four Seas Corporation?"

"Ah? Me... can I really do it?"

Xu Peng scratched his head, lacking confidence.

When Qin Yu joined Four Seas Corporation, at least he was tall and presentable, a former soldier, and knew kung fu, none of which Xu Peng had!

"If I say you can, you can. However, once you're in, you need to work earnestly, maintain good relationships with colleagues, and not flaunt our connection all the time. Don't get involved in any indiscreet relationships. Of course, that doesn't apply if you want to marry someone!"

Qin Yu said to Xu Peng earnestly.

Being Yan Mingyu's husband, he had to at least be able to get one person a job, how else would he get by? Most importantly, Four Seas Corporation had good benefits, potential for advancement, and even provided retirement insurance, which was definitely much better than Xu Peng's delivery job.

"Boss, I'll remember what you said, thank you..."

Xu Peng's eyes welled up even more.

Having worked as a delivery boy for two years, he had seen all the warmth and coldness of humanity and understood that Qin Yu was truly looking out for him.

"Hehe, what's there to thank me for? Come on, let's drink..."

"Right, let's drink!"

Qin Yu clinked his beer bottle with Xu Peng's.

Lingling...

Just then, his phone rang. Taking it out, he saw it was Yan Mingyu calling.

"Ms. Yan?"

Qin Yu answered the phone timidly.

"Where are you? After a while, accompany me to a place!"

Yan Mingyu asked indifferently.

"In the urban village, having a drink with a friend! Where do you want to go? I can come right now!"

As always, Qin Yu prioritized Yan Mingyu's matters first.

"Don't worry about where it is, just send me your location, and I'll come pick you up! Beep beep..."

Yan Mingyu finished speaking and hung up the phone.

He was injured and couldn't drive, so she would have to pick him up herself.

"This..."

After glancing at his phone, Qin Yu sent Yan Mingyu his location, then muttered to himself, wondering why his wealthy and beautiful wife was being so mysterious.
