Hearing Su Yu insult Qin Shiya like that, Bai Mo trembled with rage.
“I won’t let you insult Shiya!”
Bai Mo suddenly reached out to grab Su Yu’s hair.
However, Su Yu caught his wrist first.
With a slight twist, Bai Mo was already in unbearable pain.
“Ow, ow, ow! Let go of me! I want to challenge you to a duel!”
Su Yu ignored Bai Mo’s impotent roar.
“Fine, let’s leave it at that for today.”
With that, Su Yu released Bai Mo’s wrist.
Once freed, Bai Mo hurriedly retreated while clutching his reddened wrist, fearing Su Yu might grab him again.
Seeing the fear in Bai Mo’s eyes, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, his understanding of this female-oriented novel world deepened.
As long as a misunderstanding was created between Bai Mo and Lin Wanqing, they would naturally escalate it themselves.
However, Su Yu hadn’t expected Bai Mo to resort to hair-pulling in a fight.
It seemed he should keep his distance from Bai Mo in the future; what if he actually got grabbed and ended up bald?
Watching Su Yu’s receding back, Bai Mo punched the floor in anger.
“Argh!”
A heart-wrenching scream rang out as Bai Mo clutched his fist in agony.
He had been careless; he didn’t expect the floor to be so hard.
“Are you… okay?”
A puzzled voice suddenly spoke up, and Bai Mo looked toward the source.
A girl with long, straight black hair, wearing a JK uniform and black stockings, was looking at him with a frown.
Bai Mo felt embarrassed; he hadn’t expected anyone to see his stupid act of punching the floor.
Li Muran had come over because she heard the commotion.
Upon arriving, she saw someone suddenly punch the floor and then wail in pain, making her wonder if the person was mentally ill.
It wasn’t until she spoke and Bai Mo turned his head that she realized this was the same man who had bumped into her at the hotel.
“Why is it you?”
Li Muran’s sudden question added a layer of confusion to Bai Mo’s embarrassed expression.
“Do we know each other?”
Bai Mo asked, puzzled.
“Did you forget? You bumped into me when you ran out of the hotel crying this afternoon.”
Li Muran spoke teasingly, though the gossipy glint in her eyes was impossible to hide. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Bai Mo’s lip twitched; he never expected this woman to recognize him.
At the time, Bai Mo knew he had bumped into someone, but he hadn’t cared.
He just wanted to find a quiet place to cool off.
“Heh… hehe, what a… coincidence… Anyway, I have things to do, so I’ll be going now.”
With that, Bai Mo intended to leave immediately.
At this moment, he was so embarrassed he could have dug a three-bedroom apartment with his toes; he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing Bai Mo about to leave, Li Muran quickly ran a few steps to block him.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go yet! I still have questions for you.”
Seeing the woman suddenly block his path, Bai Mo had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Li Muran’s next sentence made Bai Mo’s face flush with rage.
“Were you cheated on?”
“No! Impossible! How could I ever be cheated on!”
Bai Mo’s triple denial was like a guilty conscience giving itself away.
Seeing the gossipy look in the woman’s eyes again, Bai Mo frowned and tried to go around her.
“Miss, I said I have things to do, so please stop harassing me.”
As he spoke, Bai Mo took advantage of Li Muran’s momentary daze to bypass her.
“Wait a damn minute! I’m harassing you? Look at yourself and see if you’re even worth it! I was kind enough to ask who cheated on you so I could help you vent, but it seems like a case of biting the hand that feeds you.”
Li Muran’s chest heaved with anger.
Sure enough, men were all no good.
Whether it was Su Yu or this man, they were both infuriating.
She really wanted to help Bai Mo vent; after all, she had also been cheated on by Su Yu, even though she hadn’t intended to fulfill the marriage contract anyway.
But one thing was separate from another.
As long as the marriage contract set by their elders hadn’t been dissolved, they were still technically fiances.
Li Muran found Su Yu’s behavior of taking another woman to a hotel shameful.
Of course, those were secondary reasons.
Li Muran mainly just wanted to enjoy some gossip, which was why she had approached Bai Mo.
Bai Mo, who had just been insulted by Su Yu, also exploded because of Li Muran’s words.
“Fine, if you’re so capable, go cause trouble for Su Yu! Don’t think I don’t know you rich second-generation types just want to see people make fools of themselves. If you’re really so capable, go ahead!”
Li Muran froze at Bai Mo’s words, and the way she looked at him became even more complex.
Seeing Li Muran’s silence, Bai Mo sneered.
Hearing Bai Mo call her a coward, the anger Li Muran had just suppressed flared up again.
Fortunately, she managed to suppress it once more.
Li Muran took a deep breath and looked at Bai Mo again.
“Is your girlfriend Qin Shiya?”
Li Muran suddenly mentioned Qin Shiya’s name, leaving Bai Mo momentarily stunned.
“How do you know?”
Li Muran said nothing more and silently turned to leave.
She just wanted to enjoy some gossip, but she never expected to find herself at the center of it.
Bai Mo watched Li Muran arrive and leave for no apparent reason, completely baffled.
“How bizarre. If you’re a coward, just admit it. Stop trying to act tough.”
Hearing this, Li Muran, who had not gone far, was so angry she wanted to turn back and beat him up.
But by the time she turned around, Bai Mo was nowhere to be seen.
“Argh!!! Damn men! You all deserve to die!”
Having long since slipped away, Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the roar.
Luckily he was smart enough to run fast, otherwise he definitely would have been beaten up by that damn woman.
At this thought, Bai Mo’s mood improved significantly, and even the pain in his abdomen eased a bit.
Bai Mo took out his phone and opened a chat app, intending to explain the recent events to Lin Wanqing.
He saw a bright red ‘1’ on Lin Wanqing’s profile picture.
Seeing this, Bai Mo felt a bit of secret joy.
It seemed Sister Wanqing had come around and was messaging him to apologize.
Thinking this, Bai Mo opened the chat with Lin Wanqing.
As he read the words Lin Wanqing had sent, the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
After reading the message, he gripped his phone so tightly it seemed like he might crush it.
Sister Wanqing: Bai Mo, I’m very disappointed in you today.
President Su isn’t the kind of person you say he is.
I hope you won’t judge others without knowing them; it’s really not good.
You shouldn’t come to the company for a while.
I’ll give you a month’s leave to rest well.
Bai Mo gripped his phone tightly, his expression extremely grim.
“Su Yu, Su Yu, it’s Su Yu again! I will definitely unmask that hypocrite and expose his true nature!”
