Chapter 289: 280: Enemy_3
But Yun Xi thought he did it on purpose, her expression immediately turned sour, and she shouted at him, "I asked if you have cash?"
Lu Xize was startled: "Why are you being so loud?"
"Wasn’t it you who told me to be louder?"
"..."
"Why do you need cash?"
Yun Xi felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed her nose, "I... um... my phone and bag were left in the KTV room, right? I never carry cash, but we need it for registration, so... can you lend me some first, and I’ll transfer it to you when we get back."
Lu Xize chuckled and shrugged, "I also never carry cash."
"So what should we do?"
"Can’t we use the QR code?"
"Are you dumb? Didn’t you hear me say I left my phone?"
"I meant use my phone." As he spoke, Lu Xize handed her his phone from his coat pocket.
"Why didn’t you take it out earlier." Yun Xi gave him a cross look, took the phone, and walked towards the window, but after two steps, she turned back, handed the phone to Lu Xize again, and said patiently, "Your phone needs a fingerprint and password, how can I pay without unlocking it?"
Lu Xize took back the phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it to her once more, "Go ahead!"
After helping him register, Yun Xi watched him being led by the nurse for a check-up, while she sat outside waiting for him to come out.

While Yun Xi was in the restroom, Cen Jin and Ye Lingran stayed in the room, unaware of what was happening outside because their room was at the end of the corridor and the music was loud. It wasn’t until the door knocked open that four people claiming to be Lu Xize’s friends entered, and then she received a call from Lu Xize, understanding what had occurred.
After understanding the situation, the first thing both of them thought of was Yun Xi’s safety. Knowing she’s fine with Lu Xize protecting her, they felt relieved and left the room escorted by Lu Xize’s friends.
As they suggested driving them back, Jiang Baizhou received Lu Xize’s WeChat and drove over. Upon seeing Jiang Baizhou, Cen Jin’s worried and panicked expression turned into a bright smile, running into his arms, wrapping her hands around his waist, and raising her little face, "Why are you here? I was just about to call you!"
"Xi Ze texted me, why didn’t you call me when something like this happened?" Seeing she was unharmed, Jiang Baizhou also breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively hugged her waist.
"I’m still confused, I need to ask Yun Xi for details." She said, looking back at Lu Xize’s friends behind them, "Thanks to you guys, we’re safe now."
"Alright, then we’ll head out first." One man in a black suit raised his brows, smiled, and waved lightly before leaving with the other three.
"Let’s go, get in the car!" Jiang Baizhou embraced Cen Jin and glanced at Ye Lingran not far away, "I’ll drive you home."
"Okay, thanks."
Jiang Baizhou drove Ye Lingran back to her residential district, and on the way to Huisijin District, Cen Jin couldn’t help but ask worriedly, "Hey, Jiang Baizhou, do you know Yang Yue? What kind of person is he?"
"He’s infamous, arrogant because his family is influential, everyone around him suffers under him."
"Ah, then... shouldn’t Yun Xi and Lu Xize be worried about his retaliation? Someone like him surely won’t take this lying down!" Hearing this, Cen Jin became even more concerned.
"It’s alright, even without talking about Xi Ze, the Yun Family alone probably can’t swallow this up, don’t underestimate Yun Qi’s gentle appearance; if he takes action, it’s questionable whether the Yang Family can handle it. Furthermore, regarding Xi Ze, although he’s not involved in the family business, he does hold shares in the company and speaks with authority, and his relationship with his older brother is quite good. The Yang Family will be the ones to suffer losses, and they wouldn’t dare retaliate unless they plan on leaving Nancheng; no matter how powerful, they can’t withstand the pressure from the Lu and Yun Families, whose influence in Nancheng isn’t weak either."
After hearing Jiang Baizhou’s reassurance, Cen Jin sighed in relief, "That’s good, but... you seem to know a lot about these wealthy families!"
