NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 710 - 710: Good Temper
Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Good Temper
Lu Yuwen poured a glass of orange juice, thought about it, and then put it back down. He asked a nearby server, “Do you have any boiled water, lukewarm?”
“Yes. You can find it if you walk forward.”
“Thank you.”
A female customer leaning over to make conversation: “I also fancy a drink of water, handsome guy. Could you help me fetch a glass?”
Lu Yuwen, pointing towards Su Man with a smile, said, “Sorry, I can’t do that with all these people.”
Upon hearing this, the female customer knew she was getting nowhere. She laughed awkwardly and then walked away.
This kind of flirtation seemed quite novel to Lu Yuwen.
In his school days, because he was lame, his female classmates seldom mingled with him. Then later, after starting his own business and making some money, he did attract some women’s attention. However, in a seemingly ironic twist, they were willing to marry him but not invested in dating him or traveling with him…
Su Man was the only one. She was the only woman who didn’t mind his limp at all.
Reminiscing about her various attitudes, Lu Yuwen couldn’t help but laugh. He couldn’t determine whether she was just broad-minded or was born without a sense of precaution.
He held a cup of water and a cup of orange juice and started walking back. As he passed a group of young people, he happened to catch the mention of Su Man’s name and halted abruptly.
“…The Li Family and the Su Family have been on good terms for generations. If Su Man’s parents can persuade your family, they might agree to let you go.”
Li Li frowned, “What kind of bad idea is that? If Su’s mother finds out, she will only join my parents to persuade me.”
His companion replied, “Then there’s nothing we can do. If your family doesn’t yield, even if Yan Qingwen agrees, it won’t work.”
“Forget it! If I can’t go, then I can’t go! Aren’t you always annoyed about being bothered by Su Man? You’ve finally got your peace!” another companion chimed in.
“Well! They are childhood buddies and it’s only normal for them to be all over each other. Besides, they’re going to be together forever! Hahaha!” teased another person.
With a furrowed brow, Li Li responded, “Stop joking. If I were to live with that kind of woman for the rest of my life, she’d drive me crazy!”
“That’s heartless! She’s still a pretty girl…”
“That’s because you don’t know about her endless problems! Let me tell you…” While Li Li was talking, a man suddenly bumped into him. All the orange juice and boiled water splashed all over his body!
Half of Li Li’s clothes were soaked!
The man who’d bumped into him didn’t react. He just picked up his empty cup and continued walking forward.
“Hey!” An irritated Li Li chased him, “Are you blind? Aren’t you supposed to apologize when you bump into someone?!”
Lu Yuwen turned around. His expression was unchanged, but his words were extraordinarily rude, “I merely hit a dog. Why should I apologize?”
“You?!” Li Li, enraged, raised his fist and swung it towards him!
Yet, before his fist could land, the man sneered, then stumbled backward in a dramatic fall, crashing into a table, breaking a bunch of dishes and plates in a loud clatter!
Such a huge commotion drew everyone’s attention, including Su Man and Bai Youwei from afar.
Seeing Lu Yuwen fall, Su Man was alarmed. She hurried over to help him up, “Are you okay? Where did you hit?”
Lu Yuwen shook his head, “I’m fine…”
Su Man glared at Li Li, “Hey! Apologize!”
“Me, apologize to him?!” Li Li was fuming, pointing to his water-stained clothes, “Then how about him spilling all the drinks on me?!”
Li Li’s friends gather around and chimed in, “That’s right! He was the one who bumped into you first. We all saw it.”
Lu Yuwen frowned slightly, dusted off his disheveled clothes, and calmly said to Su Man, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I did apologize, but he thought it wasn’t sincere enough.”
Su Man, trusting him, glared at Li Li in annoyance, “Li Li, you really are something, even bullying Lu Yuwen, who is usually so good-natured!”
“I bullied him?!” Li Li was so exasperated he felt like spitting blood, “Su Man! Are you blind or what?!”
His friends also chimed in, “This guy is obviously picking a fight on purpose…”
Su Man pointed at them and yelled, “You’re all in this together! Of course, you’re siding with Li Li!”
At this, Lu Yuwen grabbed her hand and tried to pacify her, “Let it go… He’s just a little too eager to replace me as a subject…”
