Chapter 117 White Moonlight
Duan Jiyang is the eldest son of the Duan family. He has made a name for himself in the business world at a young age. He is also handsome and has no bad habits. He is almost a famous first choice for marriage in City A. However, he did not expect that in the end, the Lu family, which is not very big, would take advantage of him.
If you ask why, Lu Yan can be responsible for telling everyone. Of course it is because Duan Jiyang’s white moonlight Lu Bing, who is far away in a foreign country, he can’t marry the real one, so he has to find a high-quality imitation as a substitute.
Lu Yan drove back to his residence late at night, still worrying about what to do in the future. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa. The broken shadows of the crystal lamp above his head fell down, and the man's expression seemed a little depressed, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
Duan Jiyang who wanted to cut off his kidneys?
Lu Yan paused, put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the entrance. Ever since the system told him the future outcome, he no longer had any infatuation with Duan Ji Yang, and he even had the urge to fight him.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Yan spoke in a light tone and quite impolitely, which had never happened before. Unfortunately, Duan Jiyang was on the verge of an outburst, so he did not notice it.
Duan Jiyang spoke coldly, with a tone of accusation: "Don't you know what you did?"
Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. What had he done? He had just slept with a good-looking male college student in the hotel. Could Duan Jiyang have come to catch them in an affair?
The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Although it was not worth it to quarrel with the Duan family at this time, it would be good if he could take this opportunity to cancel the engagement with Duan Jiyang, so that he would not always worry about his kidney:
"So what if I did it?"
He spoke carelessly, with an expression that showed he was not afraid of boiling water. Duan Jiyang stood up from the sofa abruptly, the anger in his eyes almost solidifying into substance: "So it was really you who deliberately prevented Lu Bing from returning to China?!"
Lu Yan: “?”
What does this have to do with anything?
Lu Yan thought carefully for a moment and then he remembered that Lu Bing went to the branch of Country Y for an internship a few years ago. However, he was worried that she would rekindle her old relationship with Duan Ji Yang after returning, so he had been persuading his parents not to transfer Lu Bing back to China. Perhaps someone around him was too talkative and passed the news to Duan Ji Yang's ears.
Lu Yan chuckled. He thought it was something else, but it turned out to be just this. He suddenly lost interest. "It's really interesting. He is a living person with hands and feet. How can I stop him from coming back? If you miss him so much, why don't you go abroad to find him yourself?"
It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. Once he did, Duan Jiyang's anger intensified: "If you hadn't interfered, how could Lu Bing have misunderstood and avoided meeting me for so many years?!"
Well, Lu Yan thought, that has nothing to do with me. Lu Bing found out that he has kidney failure and won’t live long. He didn’t want to drag you down, so he went abroad.
But Lu Yan certainly wouldn't tell Duan Jiyang the truth. He wasn't a good man, and the quarrel between the two had nothing to do with him. "So you also knew that Lu Bing deliberately didn't want to meet you, so why are you blaming me?"
Duan Jiyang choked: "You!"
Lu Yan drank a lot of wine and slept all night, and his eyelids were fighting and he was sleepy. He changed his shoes in the entrance, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, loosened his tie, and asked frivolously: "It's late at night, I am sleepy even if you are not. How about it, do you want to stay? Anyway, we are engaged, it's only a matter of time."
He was malicious towards Duan Jiyang on purpose.
Duan Jiyang looked unhappy, and it was obvious that he was also hated: "Lu Yan, if Lu Bing hadn't asked me to treat you well, do you think I would be engaged to you? I will cancel this marriage sooner or later!"
“Pah pah pah…”
Lu Yan lazily leaned back in his chair and clapped his hands sincerely, "Then I wish you and Lu Bing a long and happy marriage. The door is over there, I won't see you off."
Duan Ji Yang is just like this. He really doesn't understand why he has been obsessed with him for five whole years. Lu Yan now just hopes that Duan Ji Yang will get away as far away as possible and not disturb his sleep.
Duan Jiyang stood there motionless, his eyes showing some doubt. He finally realized that something was wrong, because such words were totally unlike what Lu Yan would say. He said in a deep voice: "Lu Yan, do you know what you are saying?"
Of course Lu Yan knew it. He crossed his legs and said with a half-smile: "I hope you can break off the engagement and get rid of me as soon as possible, and live happily with Lu Bing forever. How about that? That's sincere enough, isn't it?"
“…”
Duan Jiyang clearly smelled the alcohol on Lu Yan's body. He just thought that he was drunk and crazy, and automatically found an excuse for his outrageous behavior. He said sternly: "Lu Yan, I warn you for the last time, don't put your hands on Lu Bing. If he loses a hair, I will only hold you accountable!"
"Am I the only one asking?"
Lu Yan was so amused when he heard this that he said sarcastically, "Duan Jiyang, you are so arrogant. What is your relationship with him? Why do you only ask me? You try to lick him every day, but unfortunately Lu Bing just ignores you. Don't take it out on others."
He and Lu Bing are half brothers. They have similar faces but completely different personalities. Lu Bing is gentle but stubborn, while Lu Yan is like an uneducated gangster.
Duan Jiyang and Lu Yan got engaged, partly because he wanted to stimulate Lu Bing to return to China, and partly because they looked alike, which was somewhat sentimental. But for some reason, when he saw Lu Yan today, he could no longer see the hazy shadow of Lu Bing in his eyes.
When Duan Jiyang heard Lu Yan scolding him for licking his pants, he showed no anger for the first time in his life. He sneered and said, "Lu Yan, no matter what you say, the facts are the facts. You will never be as good as Lu Bing."
Lu Yan lost his patience and pointed at the door: "Get out of here!"
It's the middle of the night and he's still whining non-stop. He'll change the combination lock tomorrow.
Lu Yansi had no idea how big a stir her words had caused. Ever since Duan Jiyang left late at night, within a few days the news spread in the circle that the Duan family was going to cancel the engagement with the Lu family. At first it was just idle talk, but in the end it became so real that even Lu Yansi's friends came to inquire about the news.
"Master Lu, I heard that you are going to break off your engagement with Mr. Duan. Is it true? We have been friends for so many years, you can't hide it from your brothers."
A bunch of young people gathered in the booth on the second floor of Elysium Bar. The table was piled with bottles, cans and poker dice. Lu Yan had no interest in these things and sat beside him playing with his mobile phone. But he didn't expect his childhood friend Pan Yuan to come over directly. He had a head of gradient white hair and looked like a hedgehog under the dim light.
Pan Yuan has always had a crush on Duan Jiyang, but he kept it secret and few people knew about it.
Hearing this, Lu Yan paused from playing with his phone, turned off the screen, and asked in an ambiguous tone, "So what if it's true, so what if it's fake?"
Pan Yuan's eyes flickered, and he put his hand on his shoulder and said as a matter of course: "If it's fake, I have to help you dispel the rumors, so that those people won't talk nonsense."
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
Lu Yan looked indifferent and lit a cigarette. "We came out to drink today, so don't talk about those things that will spoil the fun."
As they were talking, a waiter came up with a tray. It was because Lu Yan got drunk that day and got caught in the wrong bed sheets. Now he had no intention of drinking. If Pan Yuan and the others hadn't forced him to come out today, he would have never planned to come out.
Lu Yan stood up from the sofa and pushed the wine glass in front of him aside. He was visibly unhappy. "I have something else to do. I'll go back first. You guys drink slowly and put the bill on my account."
The system said that he must completely eliminate the dangerous factors around him, otherwise he would still die. But Lu Yan had not figured out how to solve it. He couldn't kill both Duan Jiyang and Tang Rufeng, right?
People are the ones who can't help but talk. Lu Yan's mind was not on the basement, when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the booth on the first floor, as if a guest was making trouble. He glanced over and saw a man who looked like a local tyrant dragging the bar waiter and making a fuss, and even the manager came over to make trouble.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm a regular customer of your bar, and this is your service attitude?! Those who know me think I'm a waiter, but those who don't think I'm a big shot. Who are you showing off to with such a stinky face?"
As luck would have it, the waiter was Tang Rufeng. When the manager hurried over, he thought the customer was deliberately making trouble, but when he glanced to the side, he saw Tang Rufeng standing there with a cold face. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had a bad face.
The manager was confused, but he could only suppress it temporarily and said to the troublemaker with a smile: "Isn't this Brother Long? You are a frequent customer of our store. The waiter doesn't know the rules. How about this, I will give you a discount on today's wine and give you another one..."
Brother Long waved his hands in annoyance and squinted his eyes and said, "Don't give me these empty words. I don't need the money. Let the waiter pour me a glass of wine and apologize. Today's matter will be over. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"
Brother Long is a local thug. Logically, the manager shouldn't be afraid of him, but he gets along really well with those rich boys and is a nobody who should not be messed with.
The manager just wanted to keep things quiet, so he secretly pushed Tang Rufeng and said, "Rufeng, hurry up, pour the guest a glass of wine, explain the situation, and apologize."
Tang Rufeng didn't move. He stared at Brother Long expressionlessly, with endless coldness in his eyes. Even if the other person was burned to ashes, he would still be able to recognize that the person who forcibly dragged him into the private room, made him drunk, and sent him to Lu Yan's bed that day was the man in front of him.
Seeing that Tang Rufeng didn't move, the manager pushed him again anxiously, with such force that he pushed him directly to the table: "What are you standing there for? Go quickly, do you still want your salary for this month?"
Brother Long sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a cigarette in his mouth, looking very proud: "Hurry up, I don't have time to waste with you."
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three seconds passed.
Tang Rufeng moved his fingertips slightly, and finally picked up a bottle of red wine on the table. Just when everyone thought he would give a gift and apologize, Tang Rufeng suddenly smashed the bottle hard at Brother Long's head, directly opening his head -
"Bang!"
The glass shattered, the wine splashed everywhere, and Brother Long fell off the sofa with a scream. Blood mixed with wine flowed down his forehead, and he looked terribly. He covered his head and looked at Tang Rufeng angrily, shocked and angry: "How dare you hit me?!"
Tang Rufeng threw away the half-broken bottle in his hand. Although he still looked like a student, his eyes were filled with cruelty that did not belong to his age. He raised his eyes and stared at Brother Long with sinister eyes, and silently uttered a sentence:
"I will kill you sooner or later..."
There was no anger in his expression when he said this, only a dead calmness and a spooky air.
Brother Long suddenly felt a chill in his heart and trembled violently, but he suddenly realized that the man in front of him was just a powerless waiter, so why should he be afraid of him?
"Fuck you, you dare to take my life? I'm going to kill you here today! Come on, brothers!"
The battle was about to break out. Brother Long was preparing to go forward with a few minions to teach Tang Rufeng a lesson, when suddenly a lazy and casual voice sounded behind him. The voice sounded particularly familiar, and made him stop in his tracks.
"Who do you want to die here?"
Brother Long turned around and saw Lu Yan coming over. Although he had never dealt with him before, he had seen him several times at the dinner table. He was definitely not someone he could afford to offend. For a moment, he even forgot about the wound on his head and stammered:
"This... Isn't this Mr. Lu? What gust of wind brought you here?"
Brother Long didn't know why Lu Yan suddenly showed up, but he had already quickly figured it out in his mind. He had just got this waitress drunk and sent her to Lu Yan's bed not long ago. It's possible that these two people had accidentally fallen in love.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and lit a cigarette, then waved away the mint smoke in front of him. His handsome face was immersed in the shadows, like a ghost in Liao Zhai that feeds on human essence. "Nothing. I have never seen anyone being killed in my life. I just heard you say you wanted someone to die, so I came to see for myself."
Brother Long smiled stiffly. Killing is against the law. He just said a few harsh words. Who would take it seriously? "Master Lu, I was joking. There was a waiter who was ignorant just now. I was just teaching him a lesson."
Lu Yan flicked the ash from his cigarette and said in an ambiguous tone, "It's okay to teach someone a lesson, but just don't touch someone you shouldn't touch, understand?"
The cigarette in his hand was not yet completely burned, and he flicked his finger and hit Brother Long squarely on the forehead. The latter groaned, covered his head and subconsciously took two steps back, but saw Lu Yan stretched out his arm and directly pulled the waiter into his arms in front of everyone, and then hooked the other's chin with his fingertips affectionately:
"Good job. Next time you meet someone like this, just smash him to death. Got it?"
Tang Rufeng didn't expect to meet Lu Yan, let alone that he would do such a thing in public. His body froze, and he struggled after coming to his senses, but the man's arms wrapped in mint cigarettes held him tighter, making him airtight.
Tang Rufeng couldn't help but recall the scene on the big bed in the hotel that day. The other party held him so tightly that no matter how he escaped, he would be dragged back and forced to endure painful invasion again and again.
Tang Rufeng's face turned pale, his body was stiff and trembling, but he didn't know that Brother Long's face turned uglier than his after hearing Lu Yan's words. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it should be smashed, it should be smashed. I didn't expect that he was your man, Young Master Lu. I was not worthy of your respect just now and offended you."
Lu Yan's chest burst into laughter when he heard this. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Brother Long playfully: "It's good that you know you are wrong. You can pay for the medical expenses yourself. Do you understand?"
Brother Long became more servile and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I accidentally hit my head on the wine bottle. Of course I have to fix it myself."
This matter is over.
Seeing this, Lu Yan hugged Tang Rufeng and left. Little did he know that not long after he left, Brother Long looked upstairs and saw Pan Yuan sitting in the corner, turning on his mobile phone and quietly taking a picture of their backs as they left hugging each other.
