【Daddy-type x 8-year age gap】Jing Ge's 20 years of life revolved around three things: skipping grades in school to avoid the girl who bullied her, working to earn money and escape her toxic fam...
Chapter 69 Ex-Husband.
The people over there had clearly seen Jing Ge.
Upon hearing that the other person was not single, Xiao Ai's feverish mind instantly cooled down. Handsome guys are worth pursuing, but handsome guys with girlfriends are no longer appealing.
But they were very interested in the fact that Jingge had a grudge against the other party's girlfriend.
"What grudge do you hold? Do you know each other?"
What's the relationship?
Jingge's mood plummeted: "Don't mention them, what did you order?"
Xiao Ai handed her the menu: "Would you like to add something, like a bottle of wine?"
“I’m driving,” Jingge said, flipping through the menu. “You guys have your drinks, I can give you a ride.”
Mei Ying suggested, "Let's take a group photo. What a beautiful group of four flowers!"
Jing Ge chuckled slightly at her words: "Okay."
Xiao Ai asked the waiter for help. The four of them sat side by side in twos. The room was dimly lit, and the table was set with beautifully presented dishes and exquisite cakes with flickering candlelight.
The restaurant waiter's photography skills were as perfect as the food itself.
“As expected, everyone has their own expertise,” Mei Ying exclaimed. “The waiters at Pretty Restaurant are all graduates of photography training programs.”
Just then, a waiter pushed a cart over with a four-pound Australian lobster on it: "This was a gift from that customer."
Jingge looked up.
She saw Li Zhan smile at her.
Mei Ying and the other two stared wide-eyed, wondering what was going on.
Jing Ge told the waiter, "We don't want it, give it back to him."
The waiter paused, nodded, and pushed the cart toward Li Zhan.
"What does he mean?" Mei Ying said, a little annoyed. "Is he showing off or something? Does he think we can't afford it? Let him order!!"
Xiao Ai: "Don't get excited. This one costs more than 10,000 yuan. We are just small employees who only earn a few thousand yuan a month."
Jing Ge: "It's my treat."
"Calm down, didn't you buy a car?" Xiao Zhang stopped her. "What if someone deliberately provokes you? You won't become an immortal by eating it, you'll just turn into shit tomorrow."
The little cart clattered away, then clattered back again.
Li Zhan personally pushed them over. He stood high above them, lazily saying, "What's up? Your ex-husband's stuff isn't poisoned, is it?"
Xiao Ai, Xiao Zhang, and Mei Ying suddenly opened their mouths wide.
Look!
What did they hear?
My ex-husband/brother!!!
Jing Ge didn't want to ruin Xiao Ai's birthday, so he said sullenly, "No need, we don't like the food, please leave."
"..." Li Zhan hunched over, his hands bracing on the trolley, and looked at her more closely. "Can't get used to the food? It's only this year that we haven't eaten together. In which year did you find it hard to get used to the food?"
"Could you please leave?" Jing Ge said impatiently. "It's my friend's birthday. Could you please stay away from me?"
Li Zhan scoffed: "You already have friends."
These words were like a match struck on red phosphorus, igniting Jing Ge's sensitive and fragile nerves: "Can't I have friends? Or do you think only someone like Zhuo Yueyue deserves to have friends, and I don't?"
Li Zhan's eyes gradually turned cold: "I'm talking to you nicely..."
"No need!" Jing Ge raised his voice. "Go back to your own circle! Not one of you should get involved!"
"......"
Customers at other tables all looked over.
Li Zhan's face darkened: "The engagement has been dissolved, so why aren't you with my uncle yet..."
The rubber band that had been stretched taut in Jing Ge's mind snapped with a "thud".
It was because he brought this up again and again that she was now always on edge and avoided Li Mushi whenever she saw him, afraid that others would think the same way and that gossip would cause trouble for Li Mushi.
He also said!
Still talking!
Before anyone could react, Jing Ge grabbed the red wine in front of Mei Ying and swiftly and accurately splashed it over her.
The entire room fell silent.
Li Zhan instinctively closed his eyes, the astringent tannins of red wine hitting his nostrils and choking him, making him stop breathing.
Jing Ge's eyes turned red with anger: "Are you leaving or not?!"
"Jing Ge, you fucking want to die," Li Zhan enunciated each word clearly, "you..."
Jing Ge grabbed the red wine in front of Xiao Ai and splashed it over her again.
Li Zhan's temple throbbed with a bulging vein: "Jing Ge!"
Jing Ge: "Are you leaving or not!"
Li Zhan: "You..."
Jing Ge raised his hand to slap him.
Li Zhan slammed his hand down, which she was raising halfway, his gaze cold and fixed on her.
After a long pause, his jaw muscles twitched: "I must have owed you something in my past life!"
After saying that, he abruptly shook off her hand and turned to leave.
The commotion drew everyone's attention. As soon as Li Zhan returned to his seat, Zhuo Yueyue thoughtfully offered to wipe the wine off his clothes with tissues.
Li Zhan brushed her aside, his cold gaze remaining fixed on Jing Ge across several seats.
Jing Ge rubbed his eyes hard, his voice muffled and nasal: "I'm sorry..."
“You’re sorry my ass,” Xiao Ai pulled her down to sit. “You just need to give the order, and the sisters will fight alongside you.”
Mei Ying and Xiao Zhang nodded.
The other diners in the restaurant gradually returned to normal.
Mei Ying realized: "So he... cheated on you? It's that guy surnamed Zhuo? He's your uncle's nephew? Your ex-fiancé?"
"Don't mention him," Xiao Ai said irritably. "He's obviously a scumbag and a bitch. Ugh, I just praised him for being handsome!"
Xiao Zhang coughed and said, "Stop cursing. He's your boss's nephew."
Xiao Ai: "
I haven't figured out this relationship at all!
"Oh, my poor baby," Xiao Ai changed the subject, "Stop crying quickly. You're supposed to make others cry, why are you crying yourself..."
The three of them acted silly and goofy, deliberately trying to coax her.
Jing Ge smiled even with tears still clinging to her eyelashes.
Despite a minor hiccup, the four of them still had a happy birthday and Christmas Eve.
Jing Ge didn't drink, and since he had bought a new car, he drove the three of them home one by one.
On his way back to the company dormitory alone, Jing Ge spotted Li Zhan's car in the rearview mirror.
He followed her the whole time.
As if realizing she had been spotted, Jing Ge's car was level with hers at a certain point on the road, and through the lowered window, she saw Zhuo Yueyue.
Zhuo Yueyue was sitting in the passenger seat.
"You didn't drink," Zhuo Yueyue said, her hair blowing beautifully in the wind. She looked at her with concern, "Li Zhan is worried about you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhan's face immediately darkened: "Who doesn't trust her!"
Zhuo Yueyue scolded him, "You're just stubborn but soft-hearted."
Jingge rolled up the car window to block out the noise, floored the accelerator, and sped off.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhan's car immediately caught up.
Three times in a row, Jing Ge's hands and feet began to go numb. She thought she had her physical reactions under control, but they still flared up silently when the other party was relentlessly pursuing her.
The car was going faster and faster, until it was almost out of control.
Li Zhan frowned and roared, "Jing Ge! Stop! You're speeding!!"
However, with the windows closed, Jing Ge went crazy and stepped on the gas as soon as he saw his car coming.
I can't hear anything at all.
When Li Zhan's car cut in for the Nth time, Jing Ge raised his eyelashes, his hands, dripping with cold sweat, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and without any attempt to dodge, he rammed into it hard.
"Bang--"
"squeak--"
On a deserted street late at night, the Land Cruiser circled around a few times and came to a safe stop, while another new car, due to excessive force, crashed straight into the green belt, stopping with a loud bang and emitting smoke.
