"I have never practiced martial arts; it's you who are being too presumptuous," Qin Xiaoya said lightly.
"With such strength, how could you not have trained in martial arts? What are you pretending for?" Gu Xiangzhou replied in a deep voice.
Qin Xiaoya smiled faintly, too lazy to respond to Gu Xiangzhou, and instead turned her gaze to Wang Tu.
At that moment, Wang Tu was no longer as calm as before. When Qin Xiaoya looked at him, he shifted his gaze to Gu Xiangzhou.
"Young Master Gu, you have to help me," Wang Tu pleaded.
"He can't even protect himself; he won't be able to help you," Qin Xiaoya said coldly.
Gu Xiangzhou frowned in silence, contemplating his strategy. He felt he couldn't be so cowardly anymore, but he was too afraid to take action. However, just because he wasn't a match for Qin Xiaoya didn't mean no one else was; he had bodyguards by his side as well.
"Ahem, President Qin, I don't believe that you haven't secretly practiced martial arts. Practicing martial arts isn't something to be ashamed of. Besides, solving problems with force might not be appropriate. If you want Wang Tu to pay two hundred million, you can do so; just present your evidence and sue him in court. As long as the court rules against him and he doesn't pay, I will cover it," Gu Xiangzhou said with a smile. Having already lost face earlier, he now needed to show some righteousness and position himself on the side of justice.
Gu Xiangzhou's words were reasonable, and everyone felt they made sense. Compensation couldn't be demanded just by talking; Qin Xiaoya clearly had the suspicion of bullying the weak.
"Gu Xiangzhou, you really are persistent. Since you're willing to get involved, don't regret it later," Qin Xiaoya said coldly.
"I certainly won't regret it. In the end, everything comes down to reason. Wang Tu merely had a conflict with your two friends and splashed them with red wine. Your two friends are truly precious beings—much more precious than I am. If merely splashing some red wine could earn someone a hundred million, I think everyone here would be quite willing. How about this, President Qin? If you can take out a hundred million tonight, I can let you splash ten bottles of red wine," Gu Xiangzhou said with a laugh.
Gu Xiangzhou was clever enough to leverage public opinion; with so many onlookers present, he needed to place himself in a favorable position.
Qin Xiaoya frowned; Gu Xiangzhou's words were indeed flawless because demanding a hundred million for a splash of red wine was somewhat exaggerated.
The onlookers understood the situation and began whispering among themselves, feeling that Qin Xiaoya was making a mountain out of a molehill and bullying others.
Public opinion overwhelmingly leaned towards Wang Tu's side; everyone sympathized with him. This society was like that—the weak naturally garnered more sympathy.
Wang Tu, the spoiled rich kid, was experiencing such sympathy for the first time. Seeing that everyone seemed to stand by him gave him newfound confidence.
"Miss Qin, you are the president and the favorite granddaughter of the old master of the Qin family; I cannot afford to offend you. But Young Master Gu is right—everything comes down to reason. Miss Qin, that night I had no idea those two were your friends. It was they who barged into my private room and caused the conflict. I admit it was wrong for me to splash them with red wine; however, considering your reputation, I apologized immediately at that time. Now you're asking me for two hundred million in compensation—that's unreasonable. At most, let them splash ten bottles of red wine on me instead. Or Miss Qin, if you prefer Young Master Gu's suggestion, go ahead and sue me; if the court rules against me and requires compensation, I will comply even if it means losing everything," Wang Tu asserted confidently.
