Chapter 483 - What is Their Relationship? (1/2)

Du Jingtang smacked his lips together in frustration. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating with a vengeance. Although the food had cost a bomb, he made sure to buy whatever was the most expensive because he was claiming the expenses from his cousin.

”Mr. Chu…”

An overly sweet voice called out.

Cough…

Du Jingtang patted his chest hard as he had almost coughed the bits of food out of his nostrils. He quickly covered his mouth and hide in the corner while he continued to cough. It was numbing.

Someone had obviously chosen a bad time to visit; it was mealtime. What should he do? Should he invite their guest to join him or not? Before he had even extended the invitation, their visitor had entered uninvited. She had called 'Mr. Chu' in such a meaningful way that Du Jingtang was covered in a layer of goosebumps.

His cousin had made it clear to her; he made a mistake. If he hadn't, it wouldn't have mattered to him a bit even if she died a million times.

How could the woman not know what he had said? She had been coming every day and getting told off by him. She was a c.o.c.kroach that couldn't be killed, chased away, or told off. No matter what, she always found a way to crawl back from her death.

At last, his cough subsided. He grabbed a cup of water and gulped it down while he gave a deadly glare at the uninvited woman.

”Miss Li, can you please leave? This is a private ward, not your own backyard. You can't come and go as you wish.”

Li Yangyang's face froze, but she remained thick-skinned and refused to leave. Regardless of what he had said, she was determined to offer herself in return for Chu Lui saving her life. However, she couldn't even get near him—much less offer herself to him.

Chu Lui threw his chopsticks away. In an instant, Du Jingtang felt his hair rise; and he wished he could just kick this woman out. She was so dim-witted and clueless about how to read one's expression. If Chu Lui was to throw a fit, Du Jingtang would be the first to suffer.

”Get lost!” It was the same word. No matter how thick-skinned Li Yangyang was, she could only stick out her buttocks and ran out of the room as though she had seen a ghost. She ran into another person coming in her direction as she was scrambling.

”Don't you pay attention to where you're going?” She almost lost her balance and sat on the floor. All the pent-up frustration from earlier was directed at the other person.

Xia Ruoxin rubbed her arm as she felt pain in her left elbow. She was puzzled that she had been labeled as a troublemaker when it was the other party's fault for running into her. She was walking perfectly fine on her own. How could she be at fault?

Well, never mind. She straightened herself and tidied her clothes. Coincidentally, there was nothing much at the art studio so she could send Gao Yi's lunch to the hospital since it was mealtime.

”Are you looking at where you are walking? You bumped into me, and yet you didn't apologize.” The woman wasn't letting it go. Obviously, she had suffered grievance elsewhere, and she was looking for a place to vent her anger.

Xia Ruoxin checked the lunchbox she had been carrying with her. Fortunately, it hadn't spilled.

She looked up and smiled at the woman before her who was clearly upset. The blow from the woman's fist had been cushioned by lumps of cotton.

”I'm sorry.” Xia Ruoxin didn't think much about apologizing. She gave the woman what she wanted.

”You…” The irate woman stomped her foot hard on the ground. The impact almost caused her shoe to fall off, and a pain shot up her leg. Suddenly, it was so painful that she couldn't walk. She limped away as though she had just shot herself in her foot.

”The face of a lady with a bitchy temperament.” An abrupt voice gave Xia Ruoxin scare.
