Chapter 1822: Unlucky Heiress (90)

"You're right. Today really calls for a few extra drinks." Fan Chao smiled broadly and wrapped an arm around He Yujiao's waist. "With me here, drink as much as you want, Yujiao. If you get drunk, I'll carry you back to rest."

He Yujiao trusted Fan Chao completely. Seeing him pour wine for her, she didn't refuse at all. It suited her intentions perfectly.

She completely failed to notice the impatience flashing in Fan Chao's eyes, as though he was eager to get her drunk so he could attend to something important.

Not long afterward, He Yujiao became intoxicated.

Fan Chao bid farewell to the others, saying he was taking her back to the room to rest. He was met with suggestive looks from the people around him. After leading He Yujiao away, the remaining guests continued enjoying the banquet.

However, Fan Chao had no intention of returning to the banquet afterward. Instead, he quietly sneaked toward the room where the bridesmaids were being harassed.

The door opened with the slightest push. Completely unaware of the situation inside, he hurried in and quickly shut the door behind him.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

A leather whip lashed straight at his face, knocking him to the ground in one blow. The pain made him howl miserably.

Clutching his face, he was utterly bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.

For some reason, that whip kept finding its way onto his body. Then, a pleasant female voice sounded above his head.

"So, you're here to tease the bridesmaids too?"

"Of course. The bridesmaids are so pretty, who wouldn't want to have some fun?" Fan Chao answered without even thinking.

The moment the words left his mouth, he sensed something was wrong. Looking up, he discovered that the person wielding the whip was Tang Guo. Among all the bridesmaids, she was the most beautiful. Ever since he had first seen her, he had coveted her for a long time.

Even if He Yujiao hadn't gotten drunk today, he had planned to find an excuse to intoxicate her. Then, amid the chaos, he would come here and join the other bachelors in teasing the bridesmaids. Even if he couldn't actually do anything substantial, it was still better than missing the opportunity.

A woman this beautiful was far beyond someone with his qualifications.

Tang Guo smiled and nodded. "Oh, then I didn't hit the wrong person. We've just finished having our fun here, and now the groom himself wants to join in. I can't very well refuse to indulge you, can I?"

Fan Chao glanced around and saw the bachelors he recognized. Their clothes were in tatters, their faces bruised and swollen as they squatted on the floor.

The skin exposed outside their clothes was covered in whip marks. His heart turned cold. Not caring what had happened, he hurriedly said, "I just came to take a look. I wasn't—"

"But you just said it yourself. I'm so pretty, who wouldn't want to come have some fun? Since you have such good taste, I'd like to have a little more fun with you."

Fan Chao wanted to shout, but someone moved faster than he could. Tao Yu's two assistants, both large and skilled men, stepped forward and seized him. They wrapped tape over his mouth and tied up his hands.

What followed was watched silently by Tao Yu, the two assistants, and the other two bridesmaids as Tang Guo chased Fan Chao around and beat him. He jumped up and down in panic, making for an absurdly comical sight.

Neither Wen Qingmeng nor Ning Zhixin felt the slightest sympathy.

If Tang Guo hadn't been here today, who knew what terrible things might have happened to them?

Judging from their behavior, this wasn't the first time they had done something like this. Their previous victims probably hadn't dared speak up, nor had they been able to hold them accountable. Trash like these deserved nothing less than a thorough beating.

Watching those filthy hands literally beaten into grotesquely swollen pig's trotters by Tang Guo, they felt immensely satisfied.

Who knew how many unsuspecting bridesmaids like themselves had been victimized by those foul men and their disgusting hands?
