Chapter 112: The Hongmen Banquet
。An Xiaotu bit her pink lips, her bright and innocent eyes looked pleadingly at her father. 。Seeing her father’s lack of response, she was momentarily at a loss for words. She stammered, “I, I... you...Stepping into the private room at the restaurant, An Xiaotu saw four or five men seated around the table. Her heart skipped a beat and she inexplicably felt nervous and uneasy. 。An Pingtong seemed to have noticed her oddity and promptly curved a gentle smile, soothingly patted her back, and said with some apology, "I'm sorry, Teacher An. I didn't explain clearly over the phone that there were other people..." 。“ Then she pointed at one of the men and said, “Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend. The others are my college classmates. Since we rarely have time together, we decided to have a meal. If you feel uncomfortable, I can ask them to open another private room.” 。" No, it's okay. Let's eat together. " 。"An Xiaotu suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and shook her head, saying " 。I don't want people to think I'm too emotional or too arrogant, putting on airs. 。...and asked An Pingtong to move several of her classmates to another private room... 。It's just a meal, she thought to herself. 。"Come, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, named An Xiaotu." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"An Pingtong smiled faintly at the men." 。"Miss An, hello!" "Ms. Xiaotu is indeed as graceful as her elder sister. Both sisters are unique and beautiful." 。"
“……”
Listening to those men's flattery and compliments, even some blatant gazes made her feel uncomfortable, but An Xiaotu returned a smile on her face, saying nothing>>> 。Luckily, the waiter at the hotel brought out the dishes soon. An Xiaotu ate in silence, barely tasting her food as she listened to An Pingtong chat with them. 。It's good that those people wouldn't deliberately drag her into conversations to show off their presence. An Pingtong would occasionally ask her a caring question, making her feel less awkward. 。An hour later, everyone put down their chopsticks. 。An Xiaotu looked at the time and smiled at An Pingtong, "Teacher Pingtong, thank you very much for your hospitality tonight. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." 。“Teacher An, are you full” An Pingtong looked at her with a brighter smile. 。 An Xiaotu was stunned for a moment. An Pingtong's brilliant smile sent a shiver down her spine, making her fingertips feel cold. 。Yes, yes 。She stuttered a little, replying. 。An Pingtong snapped her hand, and one of the men quickly took a file bag from his briefcase and handed it to her. 。Taking out three files from the bag, she pushed them in front of An Xiaotu and said with a warm smile, "Since Teacher An is full, then please sign this agreement." 。"
An Xiaotu's face turned pale, "Teacher An... This is a Hongmen Banquet specially arranged for me by Teacher An"
Remembering Tang Yucheng's warning, the more An Pingtong insisted on her signing this agreement, the more suspicious it became. So she shook her head and refused, “I won’t sign it now.”
That's up to you. 。"An Pingting's face turned cold as she slammed a pen onto the table, "An Xiaotu, I advise you to sign this agreement immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." 。" She actually thought she invited her out to apologize What a fool. " 。"No, I won't sign it." 。"No, thank you," said An Xiaotu. "I must be going." 。After finishing her words, she quickly stood up, turned around, and walked briskly towards the door. 。She hadn't taken a few steps when her wrist was grabbed by a man. She was terrified and cried out, "What do you want Let me go..." The man dragged her back without saying a word, forcibly pushing her back into the chair. 。"An Xiaotu, I'll ask you one last time, will you sign this agreement If you don't want to be 'served' by these men, then it's best you sign. I don't have that much time to waste with you." 。"An Pingtong's beautiful eyes narrowed, a cold glint flickering within them. Her voice was laced with venom as she threatened." 。Miss An, I think this woman is quite young and has a captivating aura. Her body must be incredibly alluring. Why don't you let my brothers have a taste first After they've experienced her, she won't refuse to sign 。One man had a lecherous grin on his face, and was uttering obscene words. 。"Right right, Miss An, we don't want the money, you just let us play with this woman. After tomorrow, when this agreement is definitely signed and delivered to your hands personally..." 。Another man chimed in. 。Just imagining the stimulating scene of them brothers and a woman, he felt he was about to lose control. 。"No no, I'll sign, I'll sign" 。“An Xiaotu hurriedly grabbed a pen, her hands trembling as she searched for the signature spot on the agreement. She said fearfully, “Teacher Tingting, I’ll sign it right away for you.” 。She never expected that An Pingting, who usually looked kind and gentle, would actually scheme against her like this... She didn't even have time to look at the contents of the agreement. She signed her name in the designated place as quickly as possible, hoping to leave this place as soon as she could. 。"I signed it. " 。Little Rabbit hurriedly put down her pen, picked up her bag, and hurried towards the door. 。Wait 。" Her footsteps faltered but she didn't stop, instead her pace quickened as An Pingtong’s icy voice rang out from behind. " 。Just a dozen steps away from the door, but An Xiaot Rabbit felt an extraordinary distance, so far out of reach. 。As soon as my palm grasped the doorknob, I was pulled back. 。"Don't... Miss Ping, I've already signed the agreement as you instructed. You can't treat me like this." 。"An Xiaotu trembled all over, held down by two men, she said in a frightened voice laced with tears." 。"Did I say I'd let you leave if you signed an agreement No, did I" An Pingtong walked up to her and sneered, " 。A dazzling and triumphant smile caught An Xiaotu's eye, she only felt it was extremely distorted and terrifying, like a devil's grin. A wave of fear and coldness surged up from the soles of her feet, spreading throughout her entire body. 。"Teacher Ping Ting, you... you can't do this. There's no benefit to doing this for you." 。“An Xiaotu’s eyes welled up with tears as she reminded,” 。Although her parents didn't have a strong background, An Pingtong knew very well that behind her was Tang Yucheng... "Are you saying your backing is the Tang family" An Pingtong smiled coldly, raised the camera in her hand, and continued, "An Xiaotu, do you know how much I envy you Your father has already been cut off by grandfather, but grandfather suddenly brought you back and even gave you 15% of An's shares... 。"Besides, you're just a Cinderella. How could you be worthy of the noble Second Master Tang Although I like President Tang Mo, the thought of calling you 'sister-in-law' in the future makes me feel disgusted; seeing how good Second Master Tang is to you just gives me the urge to ruin you, do you know that" An Xiaotu listened to her venomous words, feeling as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat tightly, struggling to squeeze out a word, "You..."Is this An Pingting's true face Warmth and kindness were just masks she wore, lulling everyone into a false sense of security. 。If that's the case, then wouldn't An Pingtong have known about her existence a long time ago It's terrifying to think about. 。The deeper I think, the more frightening it becomes... of the hotel later. Go change your clothes, we'll...pick up Si Xiu back to Beisi City tonight." 。"“Well" 。An Xiaotu hugged him tightly, but she didn't move to change her clothes. 。To think that the...
