Chapter 57: Feng Ru (16)
Chapter 57: Feng Ru (16)
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?"
While saying this, he was making sure to take covert steps away from the four. If ever the unthinkable happened, who cares about the hateful bunch? He and the band's manager have to be safe.
"C-cheap good?!" The short-haired girl's eyes were so wide her fake lashes almost fell off. "How dare you call me that when it's the first time we met!?" She parted with her boyfriend and if not for being held back by Tang Lan and Gu Cheng, she would have already jumped at Jiang Li brandishing her fiery red long nails.
"Miss, in reality, I'm just guessing. But your reactions practically confirmed it."
He then laughed at Tang Lan sardonically. Fresh in his memories was how she tried to demean him earlier by saying everything He Chen did FOR HER with all his heart was just unwanted pestering. Such an ungrateful woman. Why was she the female lead? Later, he'd have Feng Ru haunt her in her sleep. Let's see if she could still posture before him tomorrow.
"Please thank the woman next to you for this later. She's my mystery-thriller writer ex who taught me to be very observant. Your looks and attitude are so bad. You're like a shrew from the market, and your face is not even half as good as Na Yu even with your full makeup. How else would you win a man if not through that? True love? While he didn't even break up legally with his ex? Tch. Tch."
After recovering from the sudden hug, Na Yu's gaze went from Jiang Li to Gu Cheng, and then to the sexily-dressed short-haired girl. The way she looked at the latter became different, stranger...
This time, it was the 'shrew' whose face lost color. A second later, she stuttered out, "S-Shut up! Y-You're speaking nonsense!"
"Oh, sorry then. Should I swear now to the heavens and wait for lightning to strike me down for telling such a beautiful lie?" Jiang Li sarcastically replied, throwing the red-faced Gu Cheng a scornful glance.
"Just wanna say, but there are really so many fickle people in this world. For a momentary joy, they can betray and hurt those who really loved them. Such awesome stupidity. No wonder a great philosopher before said while it's not sure if the universe is really infinite, humanity's foolishness has long been proven endless."
Gu Cheng's anger was now reaching the boiling point. It was easy to see. He couldn't help but wonder what the guy would do once he loses his reason.
'Boy, if she doesn't go on a rampage, you better thank me later that just in exchange for a bit of honor and pride, you managed to keep your life.' Jiang Li contemptuously thought.
Before approaching the four, since he predicted a drama to happen, he had long checked the locations of the nearest CCTVs and pressed the audio recorder of his phone. 'Blame yourselves for crossing paths with me when I haven't even started tossing trouble your way!'
After confirming that no matter what happened, he and Na Yu were now at a safe distance, he joyfully laughed in his mind.
'If Feng Ru still makes a move after this, then blame yourselves too for bringing this idiot couple with you here. Haha.'
System: ... Ah, Mighty and Merciful Creator. Who can take my place and be the one to drown in this madman's loud and crazy laughter? Damn, he's starting again! *cries*
