"Don't worry, I'll help you."
After Zhao Zixuan said it with conviction, he pulled a waiter over and took out a wad of money from his bag. "Young man, do something for me, and this money is all yours."
After the waiter heard Zhao Zixuan's words, he turned to look at Xu Wanwan. A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes.
Xu Yue could not hold back her excitement and quickly asked, "Zixuan, what did you say to the waiter just now?"
Zhao Zixuan drank a mouthful of red wine and leaned over to Xu Yue, repeating what he had instructed the waiter just now.
Xu Yue clenched her fingers and excitement flashed across her eyes.
Xu Wanwan was in a daze. It was finally time for the waiter to serve the dishes.
She subconsciously shifted her seat and sat inside.
The waiter served the last dish on the table and brought a glass of fruit juice. He walked toward Xu Wanwan.
When he came closer, he took the opportunity when neither of them was paying attention to him. He tilted his wrist and poured a whole glass of fruit juice on Xu Wanwan's body.
"Hiss!"
Feeling a large chill spreading from her chest, Xu Wanwan immediately stood up and covered the wet area with a terrified expression.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!" The waiter apologized quickly with sincere eyes.
Xu Wanwan frowned, looked up at the waiter who had his head lowered, and said softly, "It's okay."
"Is this how you work?"Li Jingran looked at the wet clothes on the girl's chest and questioned the waiter with a dark face.
"Sir, I really didn't mean it." The waiter kept apologizing with his head lowered. "Please give me another chance, I'll take this lady to wash up."
Li Jingran was annoyed and said coldly, "Get lost."
The waiter quickly ran away. When she passed by Zhao Zixuan's table, he made an OK gesture.
Xu Wanwan clutched the soaked area with her hand and casually pulled out a few tissues to wipe it.
She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt today. After getting wet, it was easy to see the traces of her underwear, so it was inevitable that she would feel awkward.
Therefore, after she was done with it, she didn't dare to let go of her position as she faced Li Jingran. Instead, she crossed her arms to cover the wet area on her chest.
Li Jingran's eyes darkened. He took off his suit jacket and covered the girl's shoulder.
He said in a low voice, "Button up your jacket. I'll take you back."
"I'll be fine." Xu Wanwan froze. Realizing that she might have ruined Li Jingran's mood while eating, she carefully explained, "Let's just eat first."
"I'm not eating. Come home with me," Li Jingran's brows were tightly knitted, and his attitude was particularly firm.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. Seeing that the man had a serious expression, she had no choice but to close her wide-shouldered coat and get up to leave.
As soon as she got up, she saw Zhao Zixuan walking toward her.
Almost instantly, she felt that something bad was about to happen.
Reality proved that her guess was correct.
The next second, a loud slap landed on her face, immediately followed by Zhao Zixuan's stern rebuke—
"Xu Wanwan, you fickle woman, you betrayed your fiancé and ended up eating here with another man. How can you still eat?"
"I slapped you because you deserved it! Who told you to bully Yueyue? You betrayed me, so this is your retribution!"
Such a huge commotion had completely disturbed the dining guests. They all gathered around to watch the show.
Some of them even picked up their cellphones, wanting to capture this wonderful scene.
His slap was fierce and full of strength. When Xu Wanwan got slapped, she was caught off guard and couldn't stand at all. She involuntarily stumbled back a few steps.
Just when she thought she was going to fall, her waist was tightly held by a pair of big hands. Li Jingran's eyes were red as he wrapped his arms around her tightly. "Are you okay?"
Xu Wanwan's head was buzzing, and her eyes were filling with tears. She did not want the man to worry, so she softly whispered, "No..."
Li Jingran clenched his fists tightly. The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Zixuan was unprecedentedly gloomy and terrifying.
Who was he? How dare he touch his people!
He was simply tired of living!
Sensing that the pressure around Li Jingran was getting lower and lower, Xu Wanwan hurriedly grabbed his arm and steadied herself. "He came for me. Let me handle it myself."
Li Jingran frowned and said coldly, "He's challenging my authority."
Xu Wanwan grabbed the man's arm again with a pleading look in her eyes. "I can handle it myself. You have to trust me, okay?"
Li Jingran's face was cold, but he still did not compromise.
"He bullied me like this. I want to vent my anger for myself." Xu Wanwan's eyes were calm and firm. "I have something on him. I'll make him look bad in public."
Li Jingran sighed in his heart and had to compromise.
Zhao Zixuan looked at the interaction between the two and felt even more annoyed. He said fiercely, "Xu Wanwan, aren't you the best at scheming? Explain yourself."
Xu Wanwan looked at the man in front of her coldly. Her face was burning with pain, reminding her of the humiliation she had suffered in her previous life.
He sure was something, wanting her to explain.
The hatred from her previous life and this life enveloped her heart. She could not be bothered to say any more nonsense. She picked up the wine bottle on the table and walked toward Zhao Zixuan, her gaze as cold as a knife. "Don't you want to hear an explanation? I'll satisfy you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she held up the wine bottle and quickly raised her hand, smashing it fiercely toward the man's head.
The bottle that was in her hand shattered. It was steady and accurate, without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
The glass shards smashed onto the ground, and Zhao Zixuan's head instantly started bleeding. He grimaced in pain and widened his eyes in disbelief. "Xu Wanwan, you dare to hit me?!"
"I've already said all the nice things. You still won't repent even if you die. Don't blame me for treating you this way."
When she said this, the emotions in her eyes were calm and composed, but there was a trace of viciousness in them.
If this were her previous life, even if she had a lot in her heart, she would never have done such a thing.
However, she had suffered too much. In this life, she no longer wanted to compromise and endure.
She would remember those who treated her well and repay them with gratitude.
And she would also retaliate against those who had hurt her.
Li Jingran stood behind the girl and watched everything she had done. His eyes filled with surprise.
So this girl was pretending to be weak?
But this was good.
For people like this, they should be fiercely bullied back.
He would help her settle everything anyway.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Xu Yue saw that Zhao Zixuan was beaten up and ran over in a panic, crying like a tear-stained beauty. "Even if you don't admit that Zixuan is your fiancé, there's no need to fight so hard. What if someone dies?"
"Stop the moral blackmail," Xu Wanwan said coldly. "If you want to talk about betrayal, he was the one who hooked up with you and betrayed me first."
"Sister, what are you talking about? How can you slander me like this? How would I dare to do anything wrong?"
Xu Wanwan had expected her to say that. She turned on her phone and played a recording, turning the volume up to the maximum.
