Chapter 152, Gift
Seeing his little girl, Si Xu's mood brightened and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Jiang Ran, they said bad things about you, I want to teach them a lesson."
After saying that, the man took his little girl's hand and looked at Xie Chengzhi: "You, open your eyes and see clearly, this is my Jiang Ran."
Not knowing what he was trying to do, Xie Chengzhi pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Tell me, is my Jiang Ran pretty?"
After a pause, he asked again, "Is she a thousand times more beautiful than this woman?"
This woman, of course, refers to Luo Rui.
His current appearance reminded Jiang Ran of those children who would fight with people who disagreed with them just to show off their favorite things.
This kind of childish question makes the person being asked look like a clown.
Feeling that everything was just a ridiculous farce, Xie Chengzhi clenched his fists but remained silent.
Si Xu said impatiently: "I'm asking you a question! If you dare to tell a lie, I will break her neck."
This is a blatant threat.
He asked this, and the onlookers secretly looked at the two girls - there was no need to compare, anyone with eyes could tell who was prettier...
Noticing the gazes of the people around him, Si Xu grabbed Jiang Ran's shoulders and pulled her into his arms, then glanced coldly at the crowd of onlookers.
"Look at her again and I'll dig out your eyes."
The onlookers: "..." Didn't you ask who is prettier between the two of them? Okay, whatever you say is what it is.
With Jiang Ran, Si Xu didn't want to waste time on someone irrelevant: "If she doesn't answer, I will break her neck."
Xie Chengzhi finally raised his eyes and looked directly at Si Xu: "Of course Miss Jiang is more beautiful." He raised his head slightly, "But in my eyes, no woman in this world can compare to Ruirui even one tenth of her. We are no match for you, Professor Si. If you want to make a move, just kill us directly."
This answer... is quite clever.
I wonder how many girls' hearts this man will win with his unwavering love.
This guy is really devoted to his heroine. Jiang Ran sighed: I guess Si Xu must be helpless with this kind of answer, right?
After hearing this answer, Si Xu accepted it naturally.
He threw Luo Rui to the ground, ignoring the woman's screams and struggles, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Oh, I know, but I can forgive you, after all, you are blind."
This is a blatant personal attack!
Everyone around shed tears of sympathy for Xie Chengzhi.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Xie Chengzhi said there was nothing wrong with his girlfriend being pretty. Professor Si was a bit aggressive...
After Si Xu finished speaking, he took Jiang Ran's hand and was about to leave.
"Wait." Jiang Ran didn't move, but looked at Xie Chengzhi with a faint smile. "Captain Xie, I know that in your eyes, no woman in this world can compare to Captain Luo. But, in order to praise Captain Luo, you made up stories out of nothing and trampled other girls into the mud. Don't you think it's too much?"
Xie Chengzhi frowned and subconsciously defended himself: "I didn't."
"So, you think that what you said about using your body to please others, being self-indulgent, and having no talent or moral integrity... are all compliments to others?" Jiang Ran laughed. "Or do you think that because you are too far away from me, I can't hear when you unscrupulously comment on me?"
Unexpectedly, the words he just said to comfort Luo Rui would be heard by the person involved. Xie Chengzhi rarely showed an embarrassed expression.
"I'm not saying all this to cause you any trouble," Jiang Ran said. "Captain Xie, I just want to remind you—next time, when you're talking about others, remember to keep your voice down. Otherwise, if we run into this situation again, it'll be awkward for everyone, right?"
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he led Si Xu away from the crowd and went up to the city wall.
Xie Chengzhi helped Luo Rui up, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
After the onlookers had eaten the whole melon, they dispersed while discussing the matter.
"Actually, those two were saying bad things about Miss Jiang, and Professor Si heard them. Professor Si was venting his anger on behalf of his girlfriend."
"This tells us that we should keep our voices down when we speak ill of others in the future, haha."
"Professor Si is showing some mercy. In the past, he would have killed him long ago. There would be no need for so much whining."
"Do you think Professor Si's temper has improved a lot recently..."
"Oh, after all, he has a girlfriend. As an older man, he has a place to vent his anger. Wouldn't his temper be better? Hehe."
"Oh, you, how can you be such a scoundrel..."
The continuous discussions reached the ears of the two.
Luo Rui stroked her neck, her throat burning with pain.
After wiping away his girlfriend's tears, Xie Chengzhi comforted her softly: "Ruirui, your throat is injured. I'll accompany you to the emergency room to get some medicine..."
"That person..." Luo Rui put one hand on her throat, coughed twice, and frowned tightly. "That boy at the beginning, arrange for someone to check him out."
"That person..." Xie Chengzhi looked back, but there was no figure on the city wall.
"That guy just stood up to speak for Ranran. I suspect he's Si Xu's man," Luo Rui said. "If that's the case, it means Si Xu has other forces under his command besides the laboratory. We have to be on guard."
"I know." Xie Chengzhi put his arm around her shoulders, worried about her throat. "I'll make arrangements. Now let's go check your throat."
Moved by the boy's gentle tone, Luo Rui choked up and said in a hoarse voice: "Chengzhi, it's my fault today - if I hadn't been willful, you wouldn't have said those words..."
"It's none of your business." Xie Chengzhi said, "What I said today is what I really think - Ruirui, in my heart, no one can compare to you."
Moved to tears, Luo Rui held her boyfriend's hand tightly and said, "Chengzhi, being liked by you is the luckiest thing in my life."
Amused by her words, he bent down and kissed her forehead: "Okay, let's go to the emergency room."
"Um."
On the city wall, the young man withdrew his gaze and tutted his words: "Yi Xi, is that the man you liked before?"
“…”
Not getting an answer, the boy muttered to himself: "What do you like about that idiot? Women are really weird..."
If there weren't outsiders here, Yi Xi would really blow his head off.
Ignoring the girl's grinding teeth, the boy sauntered over to Jiang Ran and said, "That idiot said something bad about you, why didn't you let Professor Si beat him to death?"
"Can't you see so many people are watching?" Jiang Ran rolled her eyes. "Si Xu finally managed to clear his name a little bit, but he can't go back to being black for someone so insignificant."
"Wash?" the boy scoffed. "Do you think Professor Si cares about his reputation?"
"He doesn't care, but I do." Jiang Ran said, "My Si Xu has done so much for the base. Although he has a bad temper, he can't be accused of some unfounded crimes. Besides, I have gifts for those two guys..."
"Gift? What..."
"Qiao Yi." Thinking of the look Xie Chengzhi gave her when he left, Jiang Ran patted the boy's head. "Thank you so much for speaking up for me today. Although I was a little impulsive, I'm deeply moved. However!"
The boy dodged the girl's hand, and his ears, which were covered by the hood, felt hot.
"Don't touch my head!" He snorted impatiently: "But what?"
"Since you made such a fuss today, Xie Chengzhi will definitely send someone to investigate you. You have to be careful in the days ahead."
"Do I need to be told that?" Qiao Yi's tone was filled with the arrogance and arrogance of a man in fine clothes and a furious horse. "Besides, I'm not afraid of them investigating."
"You naughty child..."
Jiang Ran was about to give a lecture when the staff who were cleaning up the zombies under the city wall exclaimed.
"Team Six is back! Team Wei is back!"
Jiang Ran paused and looked down at the city wall when he heard the sound.
A convoy with the Xiling Base badge was parked at the door. The returning psychics opened the door and got out of the car to undergo security checks.
Jiang Ran guessed the reason for not seeing Wei Yage, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Speak of the devil, the devil appears. The gifts I prepared for those people are back."
