Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Don’t be discouraged, she won’t feel bad (……
Xie Yanning could feel that Zhao Cunli was constantly observing whether she was adapting to the surrounding environment, and she appeared to be very comfortable.
He also skillfully began to look for discounted group purchases on various platforms. Seeing that the online reservation time was still a long time, he took Zhao Cunli to buy milk tea first.
Because there were too many people around, seeing Xie Yanning about to distance herself from him, Zhao Cunli walked over quickly and grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Xie Yanning took a look and gave him a hand.
It was a Saturday and there were really a lot of people there, especially at dinner time. We walked around twice and finished our milk tea before it was their turn. But we were lucky because the area around them was very quiet.
"What a coincidence, Xiao Zhao, you're here for dinner with your girlfriend." The waiter happened to know Zhao Cunli and was a little surprised to see him. "It's been a long time."
He poured a glass of water for both of them, then stared at Xie Yanning again, glancing at her clothes and the bag beside her. The smile on his face froze for a second. While Xie Yanning was looking at her phone, he winked at Zhao Cunli with ill intent.
Zhao Cunli frowned, his face looking a little ugly. He didn't like the look in this man's eyes, but the other party didn't do anything, and if he rashly brought it up, it would seem like he was exaggerating.
The man poured the water and left, asking them to order on their phones.
"Shall I help you get the seasoning?" asked Zhao Cunli.
"Okay." Xie Yanning nodded.
Zhao Cunli got up and went to the side dish counter, where he met the same man again. He gave him a wicked smile.
"That's impressive! You can find a girlfriend who's rich and so pretty, no wonder you quit your job." The man raised his eyebrows at Zhao Cunli, glanced in Xie Yanning's direction, and said, "But how did this college student make so much money?"
Zhao Cunli raised his hand and punched him in the face.
Xie Yanning heard a cry of surprise not far away and looked back. He was just going to take a quick look, but he didn't expect that the person involved was actually Zhao Cunli. He stood up immediately. He finally had his own practical experience in the world of novels, and also had a deep understanding of Zhao Cunli's physique.
Xie Yanning immediately walked over: "What happened?"
She was asking Zhao Cunli, but it was someone else who spoke first. Zhao Cunli spoke first. She looked at the other person and recognized him as the waiter who had poured water for them just now.
"Who knows? I just said a few words and he hit me! Let me tell you, your boyfriend couldn't control his emotions when he was in our store before..." The man saw that there were people watching nearby and spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that Zhao Cunli would speak. "I'm going to call the police!"
"Spreading rumors is against the law. I hope you'll be held accountable for what you said." Xie Yanning interrupted him. "I know exactly who he is. There's no need for you to talk nonsense... What did he say?"
Xie Yanning looked at Zhao Cunli.
"He said some very unpleasant things." Zhao Cunli didn't want to say more. How could such disgusting things reach her ears?
"Is there any surveillance?" Xie Yanning asked.
"Miss, our store's surveillance has no blind spots, but there is indeed no sound." said the manager who rushed over.
"It's okay. I can ask an expert who can read lips." Xie Yanning looked at the man. "You must have said something very unpleasant, and it has something to do with me. I've never met anyone with a better temper than him."
"Yes, I often come here to eat. This guy used to work here and he has a good temper." said a passerby.
"Thank you." Zhao Cunli looked at the other party and let out a breath.
"You better not say anything bad about me." Xie Yanning looked at him, lowered his head and sent two messages, then raised his head to look at him, "Aren't you going to call the police? You can call the police now, and I'll also call my people over to request the surveillance footage."
The other party looked at Xie Yanning's serious expression and finally realized that he seemed to have hit a brick wall. He had originally planned to use this slap to ask for some money.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he forced a smile: "No, I was just joking. I didn't expect him to react so strongly..."
"A joke that makes me want to punch you? Is it still a joke?" Xie Yanning crossed his arms. "So you did say something mean to me, right?"
He was silent.
The onlookers around were whispering to each other. They originally thought it was just a fight caused by bad temper, but they didn't expect there would be a twist.
"No... I'm sorry! I apologize, I apologize to you all, okay?" He took a deep breath, "I don't care about him hitting me, let's both take a step back."
"I don't think you have any remorse at all. You are still threatening us, and you were slandering my boyfriend when I came here." Xie Yanning looked at him coldly.
"So what do you want?" He said anxiously, "You don't want to bully others by taking advantage of your power, do you?"
"You have no shame! You just pissed people off with your nonsense, and now you're accusing them of bullying you."
"That's right, I didn't expect there would be such a person... He just accused me of having a bad temper. Tsk, looking at his face, he must be quite mean on a daily basis."
"You're still so arrogant in your apology attitude."
…
People around were whispering, and the man was a little anxious.
"I'll eat first, and then we'll talk when people arrive." Xie Yanning glanced at his face.
"I don't mind you calling the police to get a physical check. I don't regret hitting you at all." Zhao Cunli looked at him and said, holding Xie Yanning's hand tightly.
Xie Yanning patted the back of his hand.
The two people went back to their seats first. The manager brought them a stack of fruit plates and offered to give them a free meal.
Xie Yanning asked for a fruit plate and refused the free meal offer. The money was probably paid by the manager himself, but this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Sorry." Zhao Cunli looked at Xie Yanning. If it weren't for him, Xie Yanning would never have encountered such a thing.
"What does it have to do with you? That person has such a bad character. Don't attribute things that have nothing to do with you to yourself and start blaming yourself all the time. I'm really angry, Zhao Cunli." Xie Yanning gritted his teeth.
She wasn't actually a very patient person.
Zhao Cunli shut his mouth.
"This kind of person won't let me feel wronged, so you don't have to feel wronged for me." Xie Yanning drank a sip of juice and kicked Zhao Cunli under the table.
Xie Yanning discovered that Zhao Cunli might have some problems. She clearly felt that his mood was much better after she scolded him and kicked him.
Xie Yanning:?
The person she called came quickly. After communicating with the manager, she went to the monitoring room. Fortunately, the camera was very high-definition and could clearly capture the other person's mouth. Even if she was not an expert, she could get some meaning from his lip shape.
"Hey, I was wondering, how could Xiao Zhao, who's usually the most stable, suddenly attack you?" The manager frowned. "We'll definitely fire that employee and make him apologize to you."
"Yeah." Xie Yanning nodded and asked someone to copy the video.
The employee was called over again. He stared at the surveillance footage with a frozen expression. He was clearly terrified, but he remained stubborn. "Being with a rich woman is so powerful. Normally, he wouldn't dare to say a word, haha. Now he dares to hit someone! Isn't it just because he's got a pretty face?"
"Fuck! People like you, #￥%#..."
Xie Yanning listened to him muttering a bunch of dirty words without interrupting him. He probably thought that no one was refutating him and was afraid of him, so his expression became a little more relaxed, and he thought he had just won a glorious war.
"I've recorded it. I'll send it to your counselor." Xie Yanning said, "This matter isn't over yet."
The other person's expression froze.
This time he finally felt scared.
…
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Zhao Cunli took a deep breath.
"Did he bully you when you worked together before?" Xie Yanning felt that the man seemed to look down on Zhao Cunli.
"A little bit. He'll deliberately throw the work to me," Zhao Cunli said. "I'm usually too lazy to argue with him."
"Don't be a good person in the future. Some people won't thank you. They will just think that they are capable and you are a coward because they let you do the work." Xie Yanning pulled the corner of his lips.
In that person's eyes, Zhao Cunli was inferior to her in every way, but he could still fall in love with her. How could that person accept it... Xie Yanning had seen many men like this before.
"It's really easy to break someone's defense." Xie Yanning sighed softly, "But I didn't expect you to actually take action."
Thinking of Zhao Cunli's strong muscles, she poked him quietly. Zhao Cunli was startled and almost jumped up.
"Outside." Zhao Cunli said in a low voice.
"It only took a second, no one saw it." Xie Yanning pulled Zhao Cunli.
Zhao Cunli: ...
Zhao Cunli hesitated to speak, and finally followed her.
The incident at noon did not affect the good mood of the two people on their date, and they went shopping in the surrounding shopping malls.
Xie Yanning could see that Zhao Cunli really wanted to spend money on her. As soon as she glanced at something, he would start preparing to pay, as if he was ready to spend all the money in one day.
In the end, Xie Yanning asked him to pay for a pair of branded couple cups, and she bought two coats of similar style that could be worn as couple outfits.
Zhao Cunli glanced at the price tag of the coat and expressed some disapproval.
"You should dress nicely so it's nicer to my eyes." Xie Yanning patted his chest. "I'm happy that you're warm."
Zhao Cunli had no way to refute this logic. He glanced at Xie Yanning's hand and felt that she had deliberately slapped him.
…
"Ah He, is that your daughter?"
"What? It seems so..."
"Dating a boyfriend? I thought Xiao Ning was dating that guy from the Shen family."
[System: Host, your mother is not far behind you.]
【Xie Yanning: ……】
Xie Yanning's cell phone in her pocket vibrated. She opened it and saw that her mother had sent her a photo and asked her to go home tomorrow night.
[Xie Yanning: Is the melodramatic plot about to begin?]
[System: Why do you look so excited?]
[Xie Yanning: A little bit... I'm a little curious, after all, it's a classic plot.]
