Mu Wan was startled and quickly rushed over.
"What's going on?"
She noticed Yu Xiuyuan's expression. His flushed face and bulging veins were in stark contrast to his usual considerate self.
That fleeting look on his face made Mu Wan almost think she was seeing things.
Li Chuchu curled her lips, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
So he's showing his true colors already?
This is just the beginning!
Yu Xiuyuan didn't notice the strange look in Mu Wan's eyes as it gradually changed. Seeing the haughty look on Chen Junsheng's face and his inadvertent gesture of showing off his clothes, all this deeply irritated his heart.
The anger on his face was undisguised. "Did you deliberately spill the soup on me and then pick a fight with me? Do you know who I am!" His tone was frantic, almost reaching the point of hysterics, and his voice echoed throughout the hall. Many people looked in their direction.
Seeing this scene, Mu Wan's heart tightened. She reached out and tugged at Yu Xiuyuan's sleeve. "Xiuyuan, let's just forget it..."
Yu Xiuyuan didn't notice her. He angrily shook off his sleeve. "Forget it? I'm definitely not going to let him off today!"
Mu Wan took several steps back. Fortunately, Li Chuchu was quick - witted and caught her.
Mu Wan was full of astonishment.
He... pushed her?
Li Chuchu frowned and stared intently at Yu Xiuyuan's back.
What a stupid domestic abuser.
Just you wait. If she let him get his way, she'd take his surname!
She'd see how she could ruin his wedding!
Chen Junsheng looked aggrieved and carried out the task Li Chuchu had given him to the letter.
"Why would I deliberately spill the soup on you? I have no grudges against you. I'd just be wasting a bowl of soup and a pair of shoes. What would I gain from it? Everyone, come and judge! You look so decent, but you're so petty." He shouted to the people around him, his voice just as loud.
Although Yu Xiuyuan had soup spilled on him, there was also a fair amount of soup on Chen Junsheng's shoes. And it was obvious that Yu Xiuyuan hadn't been looking where he was going and had walked right into Chen Junsheng.
An aunt who was serving food at the window nearby chimed in, "Yes, I saw it clearly. This young man was walking very carefully with a full bowl of soup in his hand. It was this one in the military uniform who wasn't looking where he was going."
Chen Junsheng often came to this restaurant to eat. He was sweet - tongued and would carry his own food when it was busy. He didn't act like a spoiled young master at all and sometimes even made the cafeteria aunts laugh. So when this incident happened, they all took his side.
Yu Xiuyuan was respected wherever he went. He'd never been slandered like this before!
At this moment, hearing Chen Junsheng's voice, he only felt it was extremely annoying and detestable. A fire was burning fiercely in his heart. He wished he could knock out all of Chen Junsheng's teeth so that he could never speak again.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, and the hand hanging by his side was tightly clenched. It seemed that the next second, his fist would fly towards Chen Junsheng's face.
Chen Junsheng was closely watching his every move.
This guy was really acting strange. Just a couple of words had provoked him like this. He probably had some psychological issues.
Mu Wan was in a daze for a long time. It was only when she heard the shouting that it sounded familiar. She turned her head.
Chen Junsheng?
Why was he here?
She was almost stunned. "Chen Junsheng, why are you here?"
Yu Xiuyuan's emotions were almost at the breaking point. Mu Wan's voice suddenly pulled his sanity back. He had been so out of control that he almost forgot what he was here for.
Yu Xiuyuan suppressed his anger. "Do you know this guy?"
He probably was just some riff - raff. What kind of friends did Mu Wan keep? After she married him, she definitely couldn't be like this. Wasting time on making useless friends was a waste.
He subconsciously transferred his anger towards Chen Junsheng to his desire to control Mu Wan, and his tone towards Mu Wan became harsh.
Mu Wan frowned imperceptibly. She was already a bit resistant to Yu Xiuyuan in her heart, but out of good upbringing, she still spoke after a while. "This is Chen Junsheng. He's the son of our factory director."
She didn't introduce Yu Xiuyuan to Chen Junsheng.
Yu Xiuyuan caught his breath.
Surprise replaced the anger in his heart. He looked at Chen Junsheng in disbelief, not expecting that Mu Wan knew someone with such a family background.
The expression on his face was as colorful as a palette, and everyone around noticed. Chen Junsheng and Li Chuchu exchanged a look: So he wasn't just a hot - tempered person; he was a snob.
Yu Xiuyuan looked rather embarrassed. His tone dropped several notches. "Wanwan, is this your friend? Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"
The discomfort in Mu Wan's heart grew stronger, so she evaded the crucial point. "Chen Junsheng usually has a good relationship with Chuchu. I often hear Li Chuchu talk about him."
Chen Junsheng didn't say a word, and the atmosphere remained tense.
Yu Xiuyuan was the first to break the silence. He forced a smile. "Hahaha, it's really a case of making friends through a fight. I was being rash just now. I'm Mu Wan's fiancé. Since we're all here, let's have a meal together. I'd like to apologize to you specifically and get to know each other."
His smile looked extremely forced, especially after his sudden change of attitude from extreme anger. His overly enthusiastic tone made people even more uncomfortable.
Li Chuchu said coolly,
"Chen Junsheng, you're really famous. You even dared to make the great military commander apologize to you. Why don't you be grateful and kneel down to wipe his dirty clothes clean?"
Chen Junsheng could hardly hold back his laughter.
Li Chuchu was really amazing. With her sharp tongue, how could Yu Xiuyuan get out of this situation unscathed?
Yu Xiuyuan looked embarrassed. "What are you saying, Miss Li? Chen Junsheng just accidentally bumped into me."
He hoped Mu Wan would say something for him. After all, he was her fiancé now, and they were on the same side.
But Mu Wan silently stood behind Li Chuchu and remained silent.
When she saw Yu Xiuyuan's gaze, she pretended not to notice.
Although she was gentle and kind - hearted by nature, she wasn't stupid.
Just now at the dinner table, Li Chuchu had been flattering Yu Xiuyuan to ease the atmosphere. But when Yu Xiuyuan pushed her, Li Chuchu immediately turned against him. Li Chuchu was standing up for her.
Thinking of this, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
...
After a while,
Li Chuchu said slowly, "Since it was all an accident, let's follow Yu Xiuyuan's suggestion and have a meal together." She was smiling, but there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes.
As Li Chuchu's best partner, Chen Junsheng knew this was a sign that she was about to stir up trouble. He immediately agreed. "Sure, I'm not busy anyway."
Mu Wan nodded. "Okay, I'll go and urge the waiter to serve the food."
Yu Xiuyuan stood there, completely left out.
He felt extremely aggrieved. No one had responded to his words just now, but as soon as she spoke, everyone followed her lead.
It wasn't even her treat,
but she was acting so high - and - mighty!
