Chapter 49: The Sugar Baby Rumor

“Alright, move along, everyone… Nothing to see here…” Mu Jingxing called out to everyone as he dragged Ye Hanting and Li Yifan along, away from the scene. He was the first person to respond after the incident.

He looked at Gu Xuan and Ruan Jiaojiao as he walked away from the scene.

“Mengmeng’s already taken away by her beloved, there’s nothing left to see here. Let’s go home, or else we might get choked to death by the sourness emitted from certain people!

“Mu Jingxing, what did you just say?” Gu Xuan snapped and squinted his eyes when he heard what Mu Jingxing uttered.

“What did I say? I didn’t say anything… ” Mu Jingxing shrugged. He rudely continued, “I’m not sure where this sourish smell is coming from… Though it’s pretty disgusting to me. Hmm… May it perhaps be coming off from you guys?”

When he was done, he went closer to Gu Xuan and pretended to sniff his body.

“Mu Jingxing, stop your horseplay! Why are you following Mengmeng’s nonsense? If you guys continue that way, I’ll never treat you both the same again!”

Gu Xuan used the big brother card and reproached Mu Jingxing with a disappointed look.

Mr. All Proper who smiled like a hippie previously suddenly made a dark expression.

“Gu Xuan, you’re not fooling anyone. I know very well who’s telling me nonsense around here. If you want to be blind and like someone such as Ruan Jiaojiao, that’s on you. How I treat Mengmeng is my business. Don’t muddle these two things up. Even if you took away the people around me, I didn’t give you any trouble. But let me, Mu Jingxing, say this today. If you want to find trouble with Ruan Mengmeng, you’ll have to go through me first… If you even dare to touch a single hair on her, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

Mr. All Proper was not usually this way. It was at that moment when he truly showed that mature and ruthless part of him.

However, some people are adamant about their own thinking. No matter what, they would always try and sway the public against the truth.

“Jingxing… I really envy Mengmeng for having a man like you to protect her. It seems that you love Mengmeng more than I thought.” Even though Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice was gentle and pleasant, the words were like poison.

“Oh, I see. I guess in your eyes, a person treating another person like a decent human being is considered loving someone. I suppose I should warn my dad when your mom visits my place during Chinese New Year.”

“Why you little… ”

Ruan Jiaojiao was caught off guard by Mu Jingxing’s insolent behavior. She was so mad she almost coughed up blood.

She took a deep breath and said, “Fine. Even if you won’t admit it, you still shouldn’t let your friend, Mengmeng, degrade herself that way.”

“Degrade herself?” Mu Jingxing almost thought she was mad. “When has Mengmeng been degrading herself?”

The lights in Ruan Jiaojiao’s went dim as she said with distress, “Before the day she pushed my mother down the stairs, she has already been coming back after curfew every day. If only mom didn’t scold her for the hickeys on her neck, she wouldn’t have been… ”
