Chapter 68 - Feng Ru (16) (1/2)

Jiang Li swept his eyes to the restaurant. Since the walls were made out of glass, he could see that what Tang Lan said was true.

People could still be seen eating at some tables. He checked the nearest empty table and then discerned what the problem was. He suddenly couldn't help laughing albeit his action appeared rude to the other four.

The young man who resembled Gu Feng frowned and barked at him, ”Who the hell do you think you? Why are you laughing? Do you think it's funny that somebody is stopping people to eat?”

”Oh? How are you sure I laughed because of you?” Jiang Li raised a brow. 'This is the male lead's dorky brother who died inside their neighborhood's water tank? What an attitude.'

The short-haired girl with pink earrings snuggled into the young man's arms and gave him a glare. Then her eyes that contained envy and gloating went to Na Yu. The former was most likely due to the girl's beauty and elegance, the gloating and disdain part... ”Hey, Gu Cheng, honey. I just remembered, but isn't she your ex-girlfriend?”

”Yeah,” the young man who seemed at the same age as Jiang Li and Na Yu confirmed.

”OMG. Is this why you're unreasonably picking a fight with us? Miss, if you have problem with us, don't escalate it this way! All of us have the right to savor a meal whenever and wherever we want!”

There was a mocking smile on the girl's glossy lips. Her exaggeratedly decorated pink-earrings lightly shook in the air when she hugged Gu Cheng's arm again.

”My family owns this restaurant. And I never stoop low to 'pick a fight' with somebody I don't know. Miss, while you and your boyfriend are shouting 'unreasonably' at me, did I ever raise my voice at you? Did I? No, right?” answered the pretty accountancy student in an annoyed tone.

The hurt expression on Na Yu's face only surfaced there for a second. Still, Jiang Li saw it. It was quite amazing that she managed to regain control of her emotion fast. He quite admired her quick response to the other girl as well.

”Your family owns this place? Why didn't I know?” exclaimed Gu Cheng. Na Yu didn't bother answering him.

In a bored tone, Jiang Li interjected, ”I suggest you guys just look for another place. It's not that Miss Na is being unreasonable. If you just observed closely, you'll see the empty tables have signage on them. The whole restaurant is probably reserved by somebody for an event. There's no time to entertain more customers since they have to decorate it shortly.”

”Huh? Are you taking us for a fool?” The male lead's younger brother looked so offended, his face crumpled as if someone owed him money.

”He Chen. Of course, we saw it. But those who came in before us are still allowed entry. Why are we an exception?” Behind the two, Tang Lan came forward. Her voice was a lot more pleasant and calmer than Gu Cheng. However, when she said their side, her tone was not at all polite.

Jiang Li frowned. He was about to have Na Yu do the explanation part when Gu Cheng's new girlfriend softly tugged her boyfriend's arm then hissed to the prettiest girl there.

”Honey, I think this ex of yours is simply being so bitter! When her fake suicide did not get the intended result from you, she plans to pester us this way next! Hey, Na Yu! Why can't you just accept that even if you are beautiful, if you are boring, no guy will like you! Why are you so desperate, huh? So spiteful! You shameless b*tch!”

Na Yu felt like she was struck by lightning from having her suicide attempt exposed to the man she loved. She froze there, sporting a blanched expression. She didn't even manage to retort when the girl his ex had cheated her on called her names. The pain that attacked her was so much, she couldn't even breathe. It was only through sheer effort that the tears welling up in her eyes didn't stream down her face.

Jiang Li had his heart grew cold as he felt a chilly breeze passed by him. It was already nighttime, yet the temperature seemed to have become several degrees lower.

'F*ck, she's here!'

”Damn, stupid woman!” With a forceful tug, he pulled the shocked girl to his chest, catching her off-guard and making her let out a loud yell. He ignored that, busy coming up with ways to mitigate the situation.

Facing the male lead, he coldly remarked, ”Officer, You heard what they said. I think there's something wrong with your companions' mouths. It's not like you don't know what really happened so can you please educate your brother later about it? Please also teach him how to behave as a human being and not parade around with a cheap good who thinks that stealing someone else's boyfriend through her body is something to be proud of?”
