Chapter 190 Throwing Away a Million to Make a Woman Smile
At her statement, Xie Xiu smiled but did not reply. Instead, he said, “Come this way, let’s have a cup of
coffee.”
Mu Zhi followed Xie Xiu into a café without a word.
However, she did not foresee that right after she was seated, a woman across the café raised her
phone and took a photo of her and Xie Xiu.
Mu Zhi noticed it because the woman did not bother to hide.
Xie Xiu took a glance at Mu Zhi and knew that she was unhappy. He got up and dashed to the woman
with an outstretched hand. “Hand it over!”
He commanded authoritatively.
The woman held the phone to herself and attempted to hide it. She glanced at the man seated opposite
her.
The man stood up and shouted at Xie Xiu, “Mind your own business! This has nothing to do with you.
What’s wrong with taking a picture of that wench?”
Xie Xiu looked to the bodyguards waiting outside.
The bodyguards rushed in immediately. Before anyone could react, one of them snatched the woman’s
phone and threw it away forcefully.
In an instant, the phone was smashed to pieces.
“You!”
The woman was petrified but the man still stood arrogantly. He pointed to Xie Xiu and shouted, “Give
back the phone now!”
Xie Xiu sneered and turned to his bodyguards. He took out a card and gave it to them. “Withdraw ten

Normally, Mu Zhi disliked such displays of power, but as she heard Xie Xiu’s instructions to his
bodyguards, she suddenly had the urge to laugh.
Xie Xiu wanted to take out ten thousand and change them into coins before giving them to this couple.
Was he planning to crush them to death?
At the same time, she was definitely not the right person to stand up and stop Xie Xiu.
The couple was firmly prejudiced against her while Xie Xiu had stood up for her. If she were to
persuade Xie Xiu to let them go, the couple would still think that she is deceitful.
So she thought she might as well do nothing and let them think whatever they want.
When the couple heard that Xie Xiu wanted to pay them with coins, their expression soured even more.
However, they were too scared of the bodyguards behind Xie Xiu to do anything.
They were obviously unhappy yet neither of them dared to say a word.
The bodyguards left and came back after a while with two full bags of coins.
The coins clinked noisily when the bags were plopped on the floor.
“These are the compensations for your phone.”
The smashed phone did not even seem to be worth a thousand, but Xie Xiu gave them ten thousand.
Both the man and woman were suddenly gleeful!
However, as the bags were handed to them, the bodyguards loosened their grip and let the bags drop
to the floor.
The initially quiet café was suddenly filled with loud clanging of the scattered coins.
The couple stood still. They couldn’t decide whether to pick up the coins or not.
If they picked the coins up, they would be without dignity like dogs.
But if they didn’t, it would be such a waste.
Xie Xiu proceeded to the front of the café and said to the owner, “You can now ask these two
customers to leave. I will give you one million if you will agree to never accept them as customers
again.”
The couple was so furious that their faces were red.
“Pfft, rich people and their filthy money.”
A bystander said angrily but he did not dare to be loud.
Nevertheless, Xie Xiu heard him. He turned at him and said, “If you have even more money, you can
offer them to kick me out.”
At this point, he had decided that he wouldn’t remain at the cafe. He went to Mu Zhi. His face gentle
and kind as he spoke to her, “This is not a good place for us to chat. Let me take you somewhere else.”
Mu Zhi glanced at her surroundings. The incident had made their situation awkward. It was no longer
possible to remain in the café.
So she took her purse and left with Xie Xiu.
But Mu Zhi no longer had the strength to deal with another similar incident, so she said, “I am sorry Mr.
Xie Xiu, let’s have coffee another time. I have recently been involved in some incidents so tabloids tend
to follow me everywhere. I am afraid that a similar incident will happen even if we go to another place.”
“That’s alright, I will get someone to send you home,” he said with an understanding smile.
“There is no need. I live nearby.”
Xie Xiu did not insist and got into his car.
After waving goodbye, Mu Zhi walked slowly back to her residential complex.
On the other hand, after getting into the car, Xie Xiu did not immediately instruct the driver to drive
away. Instead, he waited to see which direction Mu Zhi had gone and instructed his driver, “Drive slowly
and maintain some distance with the woman at the front. Do not be discovered and don’t follow too
closely.”
The driver smiled. He understood Xie Xiu’s intention. Xie Xiu obviously wanted to make sure that the
woman got home safely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe driver had worked for Xie Xiu for many years, so he knew that when Xie Xiu was with her, he
seemed different from when he was with any other woman. But the driver still took a risk and asked, “Is
she your new girlfriend?”
“No,” Xie Xiu smiled.
“Then…”
“Why are you so concerned about her?”
Mu Zhi’s home was near. Within the span of their conversation, Mu Zhi had reached her residential
complex and had entered. Seeing that she had entered, Xie Xiu stopped following her.
However, Xie Xiu did not answer the driver’s question. Instead, he said, “Let’s return to the company.”
The driver peeped at Xie Xiu from the rear mirror. He saw that Xie Xiu’s gaze was sharp and his
posture domineering.
He was still the same fearless and powerful man who would not let any women into his heart.
However… He kept feeling that this woman was not like any other woman to Mr. Xie Xiu.
When the car reached the junction, Xie Xiu suddenly changed his mind. His tone was indifferent as he
instructed, “Turn around and send me to the hospital. I want to meet Xiao Qingqing.”
The driver was surprised for a moment, but he turned the car around without question.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qingqing was lying down in the hospital while swiping the news on her phone.
Recently, she had paid reporters to dig up extensively on Mu Zhi from every angle. If there was
anything newsworthy, they were to hype it up.
At the moment, the internet was trending with news of a mysterious rich man who had chased people
out of a restaurant for Mu Zhi. He had even spent a million for that purpose.
He threw away a million just to make a woman smile.
Xiao Qingqing opened the news but frowned upon seeing a figure in the photograph.
Why was Xie Xiu helping Mu Zhi?
As she pondered, Xie Xiu gradually walked into the room.
Xiao Qingqing noticed him and quickly set her phone aside. She lifted her face and smiled, “Mr. Xie
Xiu, it is an honor to have you coming to see me.”
