Chapter 283 - I’m Way Out Of Your League
Chapter 283: I’m Way Out Of Your League
Believing that Su Ruowan was up to no good, Guan Yue bluntly refused, “No.”
The heartless rejection saw a menacing look on Su Ruowan’s exquisitely painted face. However, she was not going to let the opportunity slip through her fingers that easily. Putting on a brave face, she spoke in a low and sincere voice. “Ms. Guan Yue, that guy helped me the other day. I just want to share a few words with him and thank him.”
Guan Yue glanced at her curiously before elbow-bumping Fu Qingxuan to ask him while pointing at Su Ruowan, “Do you know her?” Fu Qingxuan was already grumpy as he had no idea which performance was Shen Xi’s and without even lifting his head, he said, “No.”
She smiled and the taunt in her eyes did not miss a beat. “He said he doesn’t know you.”
Su Ruowan bit her lip, looking rather hurt and sad. She kept her voice low enough for Fu Qingxuan to catch her words. “I only wanted to thank him.”
What a bitch Guan Yue was. An old virgin in her thirties trying to bag the young, handsome, and influential Fu Qingxuan? She must be delusional to think she could marry into wealth.
Guan Yue smirked to herself. It was annoying that Su Ruowan was playing the victim once again. Nevertheless, there were certain things to make clear and so she threw Fu Qingxuan another question, “Do you really not know her?”
There was no way Guan Yue would approve of Xixi and his relationship if something was going on between Fu Qingxuan and Su Ruowan.
In the past few days, Guan Yue knew how much Xixi cared for him.
Xixi was aloof, hardly trusted anyone, and barely opened her heart to accept anyone. However, she would show her caring side to people she found worthy to be her friend.
Feeling frustrated, Fu Qingxuan stood up abruptly and pointed at Su Ruowan in contempt. “Where did this psycho and lunatic come from? I don’t know you. Trust me when I say I would get you thrown out if you try me again.”
From where he stood, he finally saw the almost familiar faces that made him sick to his stomach. Su Muxuan, Su Yi, and Li Jingran.
His gaze was back on Su Ruowan and he recalled that she was the adopted daughter of the Su family. What was her name again? Wan something? Judging by how ugly she looks, he could tell that she was not a nice person.
Su Ruowan had the impression that all men of the Fu family were like Fu Qingye – a refined and highly cultured gentleman. She was dumbfounded to find Fu Qingxuan quite the opposite. The scolding caused her eyes to well up and her voice cracked in distress. “Sir, I don’t mean any harm. I only want to thank you for driving the bullies away the other day.”
With a split of a second, her mind worked quickly to find the best line to chat up a rash and irascible young character like Fu Qingxuan. The line should reflect her unyielding, tough, charismatic yet gentle personality.
Furrowing her brows, Guan Yue glanced at Fu Qingxuan in doubt. Had he helped Su Ruowan? How kind.
Following those spoken words, Su Muxuan’s expression changed for the worse.
Li Jingran and Su Yi exchanged a puzzled look, not knowing what Su Ruowan was talking about. It was something about driving her bullies away, who were her bullies? How come they knew nothing about it?
“I’ll say this again. I don’t know you,” Fu Qingxuan did not hold back, especially towards the family he always hated.
“I’m sorry,” With indifference and a strong will, Su Ruowan lifted her head and positioned herself at the right angle to show him the shimmering tears in her eyes. Any guy would fall for that look of hers as she held back tears. Biting her lips, Su Ruowan pouted in self-deprecation, “I might have gotten the wrong guy.”
She gave her all in the performance to showcase her personality and good looks. She was sure he would be impressed unless he was less than a man.
“You, trying so hard to be something you’re not makes me want to barf,” Fu Qingxuan’s heartlessness burst her bubble. “Also, don’t try to seduce me. I have no interest in uglies.”
Rage drained all color from Su Ruowan’s complexion.
How could the d*mn brat say that she was ugly? How was she ugly?
Su Muxuan looked daggers at Fu Qingxuan with his clenched fists and was about to pick a fight. Su Ruowan held his hand while replying softly and firmly all at once. “Muxuan, it’s my fault. I got the wrong person. Don’t do this.”
She really made Fu Qingxuan sick to his stomach. The woman sure knew how to put on a show, and it was disgusting. Fortunately, the meanie was not pitiful and creepy like the rest of the Su family.
Li Jingran stood up for her daughter. “Sir, that’s not very nice of you. My daughter merely mistook you for someone else. As a man, how could you insult a lady? Where are your manners?”
Who was this man? He must be someone up the social ladder since he was seated in the best seats and allowed in despite being dressed like that. Where was his benevolence of a gentleman?
“As a woman, you’re alive and well even though you’re old and ugly,” Fu Qingxuan replied curtly.
Li Jingran turned blue in the face. “…”
Having mixed feelings about the situation, Guan Yue glanced at him. That was some tongue-lashing!
“Mom, stop it,” Su Ruowan pulled Li Jingran aside and stood up. Her eyes were fixated on Fu Qingxuan. “Sir, it was a case of mistaken identity and I have apologized to you. You may insult me, but please don’t insult my family.”
Fu Qingxuan scoffed, “You asked for it, so don’t blame it on someone else.”
“What are you trying to pull? If something’s bothering you, just come at me.” Su Ruowan enquired unyieldingly.
Often enough, love blossomed from fights, no? The untamed and defiant heir would willingly lose to a headstrong and persistent girl.
“You must have ‘Meteor Garden’ on rerun!” Fu Qingxuan found her hilarious. He knew what she was up to. “Do you fancy yourself to be Shancai[1]? You can be sued for stealing the line from the show!”
Guan Yue was dumbstruck, unable to keep up with the conversation.
Su Ruowan dug her nails into the flesh of her palms while trying to simmer down. She turned to him and said, “I’m not interested in you. Don’t flatter yourself.”
In contrast, she was feeling restless, rattled, and doubtful. No way could he read her mind. Surely, he did not see through her. He would not blabber on if he did not fancy her.
No one could tell who Fu Qingxuan was since he was in disguise and nothing could stop his cockiness from going full-blown. “The first step is recognizing the fact that you’re ugly and poor. I’m way out of your league.”
