Xiao Moran twitched his sword-like eyebrows. "You, surnamed Jiang, listen to me. Xiao Nuan is my wife, the mother of my two sons. Put away your scheming ideas, or don't blame me for using force against you."
"Brother Xiao, please be more polite. Jiang Yi has no ulterior motives. He's my boyfriend now." Xiang Qiuyun let out a light, bell-like laugh, gracefully twirling behind Jiang Yi and placing her hand naturally on his shoulder.
Jiang Yi shifted his body in annoyance, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you invite me here? Did you forget everything just because you saw your ex-girlfriend? Jiang Yi, I know you're a devoted man, but you need to face reality. Xiao Nuan is a mother of two now. Why are you still so persistent?"
She was adding fuel to the fire, trying to anger Xiao Moran.
If Xiao Moran were to hit Jiang Yi, Su Xiaonuan would definitely be unable to resist stopping him, and the couple would immediately turn on each other.
Enraged, Xiao Moran was certain he wouldn't let Jiang Yi off the hook.
Jiang Yi will only learn his lesson after suffering a loss, and he will never come back to Su Xiaonuan to rekindle their old relationship.
Xiao Moran clenched his fists. Xiao Nuan was his woman now, how could he let another man covet her? The veins on his forehead bulged, and he wished he could punch the despicable Jiang Yi.
Xiang Qiuyun secretly observed Xiao Moran's changes and was secretly pleased.
Su Xiaonuan was right next to Xiao Moran. She had already seen through the intentions of this fake best friend. Just as Xiao Moran was about to make a move after being provoked by Xiang Qiuyun, Su Xiaonuan, under the guise of mediating the fight, suddenly turned around, pushed Jiang Yi aside, and even elbowed Xiao Moran.
Xiang Qiuyun was left standing there. She felt a gust of wind in her head, but it was too late to dodge.
Xiao Moran's fist was aimed at Jiang Yi, but Xiao Nuan twisted it, and it went straight towards Xiang Qiuyun.
With a muffled thud, Xiang Qiuyun was knocked to the ground by Xiao Moran's punch.
As Qiu Yun let out a painful scream, Su Xiaonuan quickly reached out to help her up. "Oh dear, Qiu Yun, how did you get hit?"
With just one punch, Xiang Qiuyun's face was already bruised and swollen.
"Xiao Moran, I'll fight you to the death!" Xiang Qiuyun, who had just regained her footing, lunged at the other party like a shrew.
"I...I..." Xiao Moran stammered, looking at his hand. He hadn't expected that a single punch would ruin Xiang Qiuyun's beautiful face. This woman was Xiao Nuan's best friend.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ''? Hurry up and go help in the kitchen!'" Su Xiaonuan yelled at him fiercely. "Look what you've done to Qiuyun! Watch the shop, I need to take Qiuyun to the hospital. A woman's face is her reputation; how can she go out with a pig's face like this?"
Her words sounded like she was defending Xiang Qiuyun, but in reality, she was scolding Xiang Qiuyun.
Xiao Moran and Jiang Yi didn't understand, but Jiang Yi's two female classmates did.
"I...I'll go help in the kitchen right away." Xiao Moran ran off in a panic.
"Jiang Yi, Qiu Yun took a punch for you. Aren't you going to the hospital with us?" Su Xiaonuan said deliberately. "Why don't you take her to the hospital? I'm too busy at the shop to go. Her swollen face needs to go down as soon as possible, otherwise, how can Qiu Yun face people?"
"Then I'll go with you to take her to the hospital." Jiang Yi didn't want to give up any opportunity. As long as he could get closer to Xiao Nuan, he didn't want to miss it. He said shamelessly, "If you don't go, then I won't go either. Let her go to the hospital by herself."
Jiang Yi's eyes never left Su Xiaonuan's face as he spoke.
Xiang Qiuyun was both angry and resentful. She stomped her foot and said, "I don't need anyone."
After saying that, he covered his face with his hands and ran away.
Su Xiaonuan didn't chase after her. She watched Xiang Qiuyun's departing figure thoughtfully, thinking to herself, "I'll teach you to be so mean and make my parents suffer so much. This is just the beginning. Xiang Qiuyun, just you wait. There are many more tricks waiting for you."
"Jiang Yi, this is where you're wrong. Qiu Yun is truly sincere towards you. If she weren't, she wouldn't have taken the beating for you. You're such a jerk. She was injured, and this is how you treat her?" Su Xiaonuan turned and complained.
"Xiao Nuan, I don't want anyone's sincerity. Don't you understand at all?" Jiang Yi looked pitiful. "After all these years, I still can't forget you. Lan Yin told me that you and him are just husband and wife in name only. Stop lying to me. I've known these things for a long time."
"Heh, you believe Lan Yin's words?" Su Xiaonuan laughed.
“She would never have said these things to me before, but she only told me these things recently, so I have no reason not to believe her,” Jiang Yi said. “She’s already married, so she has no reason to lie to me.”
After hearing what Jiang Yi said, Xiao Moran's subordinates ran into the kitchen and whispered something to him. Before they could finish listening, they clenched their fists and ran out angrily, wanting to beat up the shameless Jiang Yi.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Su Xiaonuan pulled Xiao Moran to her side and leaned against him. "Jiang Yi, just give up on that idea. My relationship with my man is great."
“Yes, we’re on great terms.” Xiao Moran loosened his clenched fist, put his left arm around her shoulder, and affectionately touched her hair with his chin. “We’re even planning to have a second child.”
Jiang Yi's face immediately turned liver-colored, and he wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.
He brought several classmates with him, how embarrassing!
Just as he was about to storm off, several of his classmates pulled him back.
"Jiang Yi, since we're already here, why don't we have some food before we leave?"
"The food here is really good, it looks, smells, and tastes amazing. It would be a real loss not to try it."
"Look, there are still people queuing outside. They'd love for us to leave so they can have a spot."
...
Finally, Jiang Yi sat down.
Although somewhat reluctant, I finally sat down.
Of course, this is also thanks to the girl who whispered in his ear. She told him that Su Xiaonuan actually had feelings for him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have pushed him. Otherwise, he would have been the one who got hit.
Upon closer reflection, he realized it was true, and so, he felt hopeful again.
There were five people at their table, and they ordered eight dishes, a soup, and a dessert. The waiter who served the food said that it was on their boss.
Jiang Yi was about to say he didn't need it, but his classmate nudged him, raised an eyebrow, and said meaningfully, "She's really good to you."
“Exactly.” Another classmate covered his mouth and smiled knowingly after the waiter left. “Women, they’re just so hypocritical. They clearly have feelings for you, but they still say things they don’t mean. Their actions are the best proof. Jiang Yi, you truly deserve to be our school’s recognized handsome man. You really have some charm. We’re all benefiting from you today, enjoying the good life with you.”
Jiang Yi's brows relaxed as he toasted his classmates at the dinner table. He also felt that what they said was right. There's a saying that goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
Perhaps this is his current situation. His classmates understand that Xiao Nuan has feelings for him, but she is afraid to say it because of her status.
