Du Tian’s hand, which was holding the cigarette, hesitated for a second when she read that paragraph. Lu Zhao lived up to the rumors, as she had expected. He was always one to go to extremes.
If he really wanted to work with you, he would undoubtedly propose terms that one would not be able to refuse.
They were not done talking when the wind chimes rang at a jarring pitch. Someone had pushed the door open in the store with surprising force. The person’s excessive force caused the wind chimes to be thrown against the wall.
“Zhou Li!” As soon as she walked through the door, the girl who entered made a beeline for them.
“Shen Lan? Why are you here?” Zhou Li jumped to his feet in alarm. His pleasant facade crumbled under the strain.
Sirius turned to look at them with a curious expression on his face.
Du Tian scowled. She was not picky about the type of lover she had. As long as she was attractive and thoughtful, that was fine. But she hated clingy exes the most.
“Are you being serious? Are you asking me why I’m here? Who is this woman?” The enraged Shen Lan pointed at Du Tian.
Lu Zhao had no desire to get caught up in private squabbles. He stood up and prepared to leave.
Du Tian extinguished her cigarette in cold exasperation. ‘”‘Zhou Li, clean up your mess.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Zhou Li apologized immediately after Du Tian’s words and stopped Shen Lan. “Calm down, let’s go out and talk.”
“I am not going anywhere!” Shen Lan shook off his hand agitatedly. “Why are you apologizing to her? Are you for real? Shouldn’t you be apologizing to me? You’re breaking up with me because of a woman like this?
She’s ugly and old. How is she better than me?”
Du Tian was so enraged that she burst out laughing. She immediately rang the service bell and summoned an employee.
“Stop it, Shen Lan. We have already broken up!” Zhou Li quickly interrupted her. “Haven’t I told you already?!”
This sentence, however, infuriated Shen Lan to no end. “I’m not breaking up! We are not breaking up, so why are you defending her? Is she that good in bed?”
Before she finished speaking, Shen Lan produced a bottle of liquid from somewhere and flung it at Du Tian.
“Ah!” Du Tian was shocked and instinctively threw herself back while
squeezing her eyes shut. However, the back of the chair kept her pinned in place.
“Be careful!” A sharp-eyed and deft individual pulled out the menu from the table and held it in front of Du Tian. Fortunately, the large menu shielded them from the bulk of the liquid.
Luo Ying had turned up in the nick of time, having just ended a phone call.
“Quickly, get it off!” Lu Zhao anxiously reached for a tissue to clean Luo Ying’s face. He could not tell what the liquid was, and it brought out his greatest fears.
Du Tian opened her eyes and realized that someone had saved her. She heaved a sigh of relief and gave Luo Ying a nervous look.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s water!” Luo Ying hurriedly consoled her as she set the menu down.
Lu Zhao drew her aside and apprehensively wiped the liquid off of her.
Sirius stood up and pinned Shen Lan to the ground. He looked down to confirm that the object in her hand was a glass of water from the neighboring table. Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
“Let me go! You have no business touching me! Zhou Li! Say something!” Shen Lan screeched. However, with Zhou Li and Sirius holding her down, she could no longer move.
“Sirius! Get rid of her.” Lu Zhao’s expression darkened.
Sirius silently dragged Shen Lan out. Lu Zhao’s bodyguards rushed over to help.
“I’m sorry.” As Luo Ying continued patting herself down with a tissue, Du Tian turned to her with a concerned look.
“It’s okay. You did not cause this.” Luo Ying waved her hand nonchalantly. Du Tian was also a victim. Nobody could have seen such a lunatic coming.
“I’ll deal with it, I’ll deal with it.” Du Tian nervously grabbed her coat and stood up. She was about to follow them out to take a look when she paused guiltily.
“When we meet again, let us do it in my office.”
Du Tian hurried off before Luo Ying could respond. Luo Ying had not expected to give their talks a new opportunity after shielding her from a single glass of water.
“I just saved the damsel in distress! I earned her favor!” After Du Tian left, Luo Ying whispered excitedly to Lu Zhao.
“How could you be so reckless?!” Lu Zhao only tightened his embrace around her. He could not care less about the cooperation. He hissed into her ear. “This time, it’s just water. What if it’s sulfuric acid next time?! You threw yourself into it without thinking!” He anxiously gave her another once-over.
“I was simply reacting…” Luo Ying looked mildly aggrieved..
