252 Play Dead (1/2)

There are truly surprises everywhere.

Zhou Yue's coincidental appearance at the restaurant meant that Ye Shuang could only respond with… nothing.

San Lin City was really too small, and this was Ye Shuang's territory. After she got to know so many people, running into an NPC when she was out working was something normal. However, that day, Ye Shuang really did not have time for someone else—she was only there for Xu He.

Zhou Yue enjoyed the scene like a hero saving a damsel in distress, but that damsel was feeling quite resentful toward him.

Fine, since he's already here, even though it might affect Xu Jian getting Xu He's approval, at least the commotion created by Zhou Yue is guaranteed to be big…

Thinking so, Ye Shuang crossed her arms and watched Zhou Yue show up and show off.

”Apparently, it's some kind of high-end restaurant, but once I arrived, I saw a mad lady.” It was little wonder that Zhou Yue had the name of being a mad dog; the way he acted fitted a street ruffian perfectly. ”You want to conduct a body search while people are having lunch? Don't think simply because you're so fat that people have to give you face.”

”You f*cker, who are you‽” the woman screamed.

The people of the high society might not know everyone. If they came from different business backgrounds and had no similar interests, even if they had appeared at the same event multiple times, they would not know each other.

Zhou Yue did not know the woman, but then again, it would not have changed how he acted even if he knew her. The woman was not from the real upper echelon of the society. She had two bars and came from some money, but she was not familiar with the relationship of the society, and her attitude was not so good. Instantly, she got into a war of words with Zhou Yue, who did not give her face.

One was condescending, and the other was angry. Soon, they managed to grab the attention of the whole restaurant. The manager barely had time to wipe away his sweat. He tried to break up the fight, but it was to no avail. He almost got down on his knees. They were a high-end restaurant, not a roadside stall. Some decorum please!

Even though Xu Jian was not the thief, he was feeling guilty. He kept glancing at Ye Shuang, feeling afraid that the chaos might grow too big until they could not handle it anymore. However, Ye Shuang was unfazed. Since it was not the time for her to shine, she took out her phone and started chatting. ”Xiao Xia, why would you think about calling me? Ha ha, it's fine, there are people fighting next to me… Yes, people without quality… Huh? You want to come to San Lin City? It's fine, I'm going to Shanghai soon; you just wait for me there. Actually, I just got to know a new friend in Shanghai. If you're bored, you can call her. Her number is 1398XXXXXX, and her name is Su Zheng…”

The manager finally remembered the cause of the altercation, which was Ye Shuang, who still standing to the side, so he turned to her with hope. However, when he saw Ye Shuang talking on the phone with such leisure, he felt like dying. He walked over with a saddened face—he had not met such a shameless person before.

He wanted to stop the fight, but he could not. The restaurant valued both the woman and Zhou Yue as clients, but he had to stop them somehow because if they were allowed to continue, the name of his restaurant would be ruined. Therefore, the manager could only come over to plead with Ye Shuang. ”Miss, do you know the gentleman that just arrived?”

The way he saw it, they did know each other, otherwise the man would not have come to her aid without reason.

Ye Shuang hung up the phone calmly and nod. ”Yes.”

Perfect! The manager wiped at his sweat. ”Then, do you mind if you help…”

Before he could finish, the main character, Xu He, finally showed his face. ”Huh, isn't this Xiao Jian and Miss Ye‽”

Ye Shuang was satisfied and glanced at the manager. ”You want me to get them to stop fighting? No problem.”

Since Sister Shuang was satisfied, naturally, she could make other people satisfied.

First, she picked up Zhou Yue to stop the argument and personally came out to negotiate with the man. During the negotiation, the male partner of the woman suddenly went down on his knees and collapsed on the woman. Then the missing diamond used an unreasonable way to show up as it toppled out of the woman's pocket…

…

After moving to a private room that the manager provided, the few people started to take their seats. Ye Shuang not only got her wish of running into Xu He, she even brought along a Zhou Yue and his lackey.

”That was such a crazy commotion earlier, but that woman sure is something else. The item was on her all this time, and she had no idea.” Xu He tutted as he commented on the event. Then he turned to look at Zhou Yue with surprise. ”Mr. Zhou, are you also Miss Ye's friend?”

Zhou Yue huffed in greeting and then looked to Ye Shuang gloatingly. His expression was saying, I have just saved you from an awkward situation, aren't you going to thank me?

Ye Shuang smiled and pretended to not see anything. With a particularly soft voice, she said, ”Yue Yue, it has been so long since I last paid a visit to Uncle Zhou…”

”You sneaky woman, what are you up to this time!” Zhou Yue exploded instantly and slammed his hands on the table. Speaking of the history between Zhou Yue and Ye Shuang, it was truly a dark history. In terms of acting, Ye Shuang was definitely better than Zhou Yue—she had worked together with the best actor, and when she was new to the world of lying, she had managed to swindle the entire private clubhouse at Jing Hu City. Zhou Yue was nothing for Ye Shuang.

In terms of achievement, with just the identity of a professional Go player, Ye Shuang had managed to win over the heart of Uncle Zhou. In terms of physical prowess… you still remember what happened during New Year's Eve, right?

In conclusion, Ye Shuang was steadily beating Zhou Yue in every possible respect. Ever since the childhood friendship relationship between Father Zhou and Mother Ye was revealed, it had been destined that there had to be a shaky peace between Ye Shuang and Zhou Yue. At the very least, they would not have greeted each other with punches. Therefore, in most situations, they had to maintain this surface peace, and during this process, who had the upper hand depended on that person's capability.
