Before Bai Lu could answer, someone sat down opposite her, clearly just asking politely.
Naturally, she wouldn't lose her composure amidst the curious glances around her: "The cafeteria is a public place in the school, so Yun can sit wherever she likes."
The implication is—it has nothing to do with me.
The relationship was clearly severed, and Shang Chuyao seemed to smell a hint of unusual tension.
In her eyes, Bai Lu had always been gentle and kind, and had never shown hostility towards anyone.
As if other people's provocations were nothing to Bai Lu, she didn't take them seriously at all.
But right now...
Shang Chuyao not only sensed Bai Lu's hostility, but also Yun Ruolin's inexplicable hostility.
Do these two have some old grudge?
"Lulu, would you like some soup? I'll get some for you." Shang Chuyao wanted to make soup for Bai Lu.
He picked up the small bowl and rushed into the crowd.
The restaurant was packed with people, and there were many people getting soup. The energetic little figure was quickly overwhelmed.
Bai Lu's gaze followed Shang Chuyao, but her observation range covered the entire opposite side, as well as Yun Ruolin's occasional subtle glances at the hair clip on her head.
She gave a half-smile: "Does Yun really like my hair clip?"
Although it wasn't their first encounter, Yun Ruolin was still taken aback by Bai Lu's bluntness.
"Everyone likes beautiful things."
Bai Lu raised her hand and touched the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon on her head, smiling happily: "I also think it's very beautiful. Acheng has such good taste; I like all the gifts he gives me."
A cold glint flashed in Yun Ruolin's eyes, her expression indifferent: "Things that don't belong to you can't be kept forever. Bai Lu, you'd better keep them safe."
Bai Lu accepted the well-intentioned advice with a fake smile: "Thank you for the reminder, Yun. Acheng and I will be together forever. Hair clips can never compare to people."
"Yun is so interested in my hair clip. Have you seen it elsewhere before and liked it from the beginning? Is it love at first sight? You liked this type of hair clip the first time you saw it. Why don't you buy one for yourself?"
Yun Ruolin looked up at her, slowly loosened her grip on the chopsticks, and smiled.
"I saw it on Qixi Festival, but I wouldn't say I liked it. It was just something that looked novel and left some memories."
"Oh, I see." Bai Lu looked away from Yun Ruolin's pale knuckles.
Looking at Shang Chuyao, who was carrying a bowl of soup and pouring it over her, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yaoyao. Let's drink it while it's hot. You have to drink soup while it's hot, or there won't be any left."
Shang Chuyao, having her lines stolen, was still bewildered but managed to chime in, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"You have to eat and drink soup early, or there won't be any left if you're a step late!"
Yun Ruolin was full.
He picked up the plate with only a few bites of food and turned to leave.
Shang Chuyao was even more confused: "Did I just make the soup at a snail's pace?"
The battle is over already?!
Bai Lu sipped the fragrant, free hot soup and gave her a thumbs up: "That was fast."
Shang Chuyao: "A little faster than a tortoise?"
Bai Lu looked disapproving: "Why are you so insecure? You're clearly much faster than a tortoise."
Shang Chuyao's little heart was greatly comforted.
"They're as fast as ants," Bai Lu said again.
Shang Chuyao: "..."
You know how to comfort people!
...
Li Jianfeng was happily munching on a small fish head at the Tianshang Dance Hall when Xiao Cheng dragged him out, crunching away...
Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
What started as a one-sided beating quickly turned into a full-blown fight.
"Ah! What are you doing? Stop it!"
"Don't smash that antique, or you'll be bankrupt from paying for it! And don't touch that bottle of wine on top of the cabinet! We can't afford to pay for it! You might as well just punch me away!"
"Bang--"
Li Jianfeng had always known that Xiao Cheng was a man of his word, a man of his word, and a man of great responsibility.
Little did he expect that Xiao Cheng would one day show him such kindness and grant his wish in an instant.
But why am I not happy at all?
Li Jianfeng, clutching his swollen face, slumped on the sofa and wailed, "Can't you just talk things out? Why do you always do this! My face is all swollen, how am I supposed to cause trouble now? You tyrant, waaaaah..."
All the underlings were dismissed.
In the large private room, only Li Jianfeng and Xiao Cheng sat on a leather sofa, separated by a coffee table.
One person sat with a relaxed posture, his expression aloof and nonchalant, exuding the air of a big shot.
One person, completely disregarding his image, slumped over the handrail, wailing and howling, frantically accusing the tyrant opposite him.
Stop pretending to be crazy.
Xiao Cheng gave him a cold look: "You lured Xiao Zhongbiao to his last deal by increasing his commission, didn't you?"
Li Jianfeng's expression hardened.
The howling was stuck in his throat, and the huge private room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Li Jianfeng and Xiao Zhongbiao had a grudge. For the last deal, Li Jianfeng knew that Xiao Zhongbiao was a difficult person to deal with, so he secretly increased the commission and had someone tell Xiao Zhongbiao.
Xiao Zhongbiao was eager to achieve results and improve his status in the organization, so he would definitely accept the offer.
Li Jianfeng's original intention was to teach Xiao Zhongbiao a lesson, but he never expected that Xiao Zhongbiao would lose his life because of it.
But that's exactly what happened.
No one could have predicted it, and it was beyond redemption.
Xiao Cheng must have found out something later, because he would often attack him at the slightest disagreement.
Although it was almost always a draw, Li Jianfeng was very frustrated. Later, he did some stupid things and made enemies with Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu and others.
After several team battles, they decided to keep to themselves and not interfere with each other.
In reality, they secretly looked down on each other, and given the chance, they would even try to get close to each other.
Later, Li Jianfeng discovered that many of these events were somehow connected to the big boss.
He didn't want to fight with Xiao Cheng anymore.
The big boss's purpose in doing this was simply to make him and Xiao Cheng fight each other to maintain a balance of power.
They prevented him from joining forces with Xiao Cheng.
Li Jianfeng insisted on taking a different approach: "Regarding Xiao Zhongbiao's matter, although I wasn't the one who stabbed him in the back, I was indirectly the one who handed him the knife, I admit that..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was beaten up again.
Fists rained down on him like a storm, making the madman howl in pain: "Xiao Cheng, that's enough! Ah! Stop!"
"You unreasonable and brutal dragon, do you have no humanity left?! If you hit me again, I'll fight back! Stop! If you keep hitting me, you can forget about cooperating!"
"Who wants to cooperate with you?" the fist continued.
Li Jianfeng covered his head and ran away: "Why did you come back if you weren't going to cooperate with me? Don't think I don't know, you accompanied your little wife to study in another province a few days ago. You suddenly came back today, you must have seen that your little wife is on the list!"
"Ten thousand dollars for a finger, one hundred thousand dollars for an eye, a life... Ah! Stop! Stop! I'm not the employer, why are you suddenly hitting me so hard... Ah!"
Li Jianfeng hid under the sofa, refusing to surrender.
"You're definitely back to wipe out the employers and remove them from the list! I've been inside, no one knows the organizational structure under the list better than me. If you don't cooperate with me, who else can you cooperate with..."
