Chen Mengmeng sat there quietly, seemingly out of place with her surroundings. After all, she didn't know any of her comrades here.
Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao and her friends had finished eating and stood up, Chen Mengmeng had an idea. She suddenly pretended to slip and her body involuntarily lunged towards Shen Xiaoxiao.
Just as Chen Mengmeng was about to touch Shen Xiaoxiao, Dai Xingyun reacted with lightning speed. He stretched out his arm and pulled Shen Xiaoxiao tightly into his arms, protecting her in front of him.
Because Dai Xingyun moved too fast, Chen Mengmeng was completely unprepared. As a result, she missed her target and lost her balance, falling heavily to the ground with a "bang".
This sudden scene drew strange looks from those around them, some even showing expressions of surprise.
Chen Mengmeng felt both ashamed and angry. Her face turned bright red, as if it could bleed.
"Xiaoxiao, no matter what, we're classmates. How could you treat me like this?" Chen Mengmeng endured the pain, got up from the ground, and said to Shen Xiaoxiao with a face full of grievance.
Her voice trembled slightly, indicating that she had fallen quite hard.
Chen Mengmeng's body was still trembling slightly. She rubbed her knee with her hand, where bruises had begun to appear.
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored her, just looked at her coldly, and replied without any politeness, "Chen Mengmeng, don't try to shift the blame here. You clearly fell down on your own, and you're trying to frame me?"
Her eyes revealed a coldness and disdain. She crossed her arms, completely ignoring Chen Mengmeng's accusations.
Seeing that Xu Wenhua was watching without offering any help, Chen Mengmeng felt increasingly aggrieved.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Chen Mengmeng bit her lip, trying hard not to cry, but in the end she couldn't hold back and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
"You only dare to be so arrogant because you have these two boys by your side!" Chen Mengmeng said, pointing at Dai Xingyun and the other man standing next to Shen Xiaoxiao, her voice choked with emotion.
Seeing this, Xiahou Jie couldn't help but sneer, "You failed to outsmart her, so you start playing the victim. Have you no shame?" His words were full of disdain and contempt, which made Chen Mengmeng's face turn pale instantly.
Xu Wenhua also felt a little embarrassed at this moment, so he quickly stepped forward to pull Chen Mengmeng up, "Mengmeng, stop fooling around, get up quickly."
Chen Mengmeng was immediately enraged and abruptly shook off his hand. "You're my boyfriend, and you're not even speaking up for me. I don't care, Shen Xiaoxiao has to apologize to me today."
Shen Xiaoxiao stood aside, frowning as she watched Chen Mengmeng being so unreasonable. "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to you?"
Although her voice was not loud, it was exceptionally firm, showing no sign of backing down.
Dai Xingyun shielded Shen Xiaoxiao behind him, his eyes icy cold. "If you continue to act unreasonably, don't blame us for being impolite."
The stares of those around her made Chen Mengmeng feel increasingly embarrassed. She gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "Shen Xiaoxiao, you just wait."
After saying that, she got up and ran out.
Xu Wenhua gave Shen Xiaoxiao and the other two a slightly apologetic smile and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, please don't take it to heart. Mengmeng has been pampered by everyone since she was little, so it's inevitable that she'll have a little temper."
However, Dai Xingyun pulled Shen Xiaoxiao behind him without any politeness and retorted righteously, "Our Xiaoxiao was also spoiled since she was a child. Why should she not care when others target her?"
Xu Wenhua was immediately rendered speechless, his face turning bright red. He stammered "I'm sorry" and then ran out quickly.
The comrades who came with Xu Wenhua looked at each other in astonishment, wondering, "What's going on?"
Shen Xiaoxiao took in the whole scene, a sly smile creeping onto her lips.
She slowly said, "Isn't it obvious? They deliberately brought you here to eat, and after you finish, they'll deliberately start a fight with someone, and then the two of them will use that as an excuse to slip away. That way, you'll have to pay for the meal."
Upon hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's words, her comrades were initially stunned, seemingly finding it hard to believe. But they quickly came to their senses, realizing they might have fallen into Xu Wenhua's trap, and their faces instantly turned extremely grim.
One of his comrades, enraged, cursed, "I never imagined Xu Wenhua would be this kind of person, resorting to such despicable means for a meal!"
Another comrade chimed in, "That's right! That's so unfair! He was the one who said he'd treat us to a meal, but he did this. We can't just let him get away with this!"
Just then, another comrade who had been silent suddenly interjected, "I think it's unlikely, right? After all, we've known Xu Wenhua for so long, he shouldn't be that kind of person."
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly retorted, "You haven't seen each other for so long. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what he's become now?"
"Alright! Judging from the situation, they're definitely not coming back. Let's not wait any longer, just pay the money and leave quickly," the first man to speak said helplessly.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Shen Xiaoxiao pulled Dai Xingyun and turned to leave.
The three of them left the restaurant and went to a place where the others couldn't see them.
Xiahou Jie finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said to Shen Xiaoxiao, "Haha, Xiaoxiao, you're so mean!"
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't care at all. Instead, she raised her head arrogantly and said, "Hmph, how can you blame me? They always come to me to disgust me. They deserve it!"
Watching from the side, Dai Xingyun couldn't help but smile slightly.
The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao got up early, exercised, changed her clothes, ate breakfast, and went to school with Dai Xingyun.
As soon as I arrived at the school, I saw Chen Mengmeng and Xu Wenhua standing at the school gate. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be arguing, and there were quite a few students around them.
As soon as Chen Mengmeng saw Shen Xiaoxiao, she rushed over and said, "Shen Xiaoxiao, what nonsense did you say at the restaurant yesterday! It made his comrades misunderstand Wen Hua."
Shen Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. "I was just stating the facts. What, isn't that right? Did you go back and pay?"
Xu Wenhua stepped forward, his face grim. "Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't have said that."
Just as Shen Xiaoxiao was about to say something, Dai Xingyun walked in front of her.
