"Ningning, what are you saying? These dishes aren’t expensive at all. Don’t worry, if they can’t cover the bill later, I will take care of it. It’s not right for a girl like you to pay when you’re dining out with us. What kind of n would we be then?"
Liu Ji said confidently, proudly holding his head high and looking down on Ye Feng and Zhou Biao with scornful eyes.
Then, Liu Ji took out his bank card and handed it to Shi Fei, "Shi Fei, take my card and settle the bill so Ningning doesn’t sneak off to pay later!"
"Sure thing, Mr. Liu!" Shi Fei took Liu Ji’s card and scurried off.
At that mont, Fang Yuan, Zhang Hang, and Zhou Biao’s faces turned extrely ugly. They had co out today to celebrate for Ye Feng, and yet here they were being made so uncomfortable by Liu Ji and Shi Fei.
Soon, the food was served. Fang Yuan, Zhou Biao, and Zhang Hang were so awkward that they lost their appetites entirely. Everyone else started eating, leaving the three sitting motionless at their table.
On the other hand, Ye Feng didn’t care at all. In fact, Lin Shiyu and Lin Zhen were quite fond of wild mushrooms, as were Ye Feng’s parents. Ye Feng rembered that when he was a child, every rainy season when the wild mushrooms grew, his family would get so excited to eat them together—those were fond mories.
Ye Feng started eating, not letting Liu Ji and Shi Fei affect his mood in the least.
Gao Ningning said to the three, "What’s wrong with you guys? Aren’t you eating? It’s really delicious."
Zhou Biao forced a smile, "It’s nothing. You guys go ahead. We’re just not feeling hungry right now; we’ll drink so water and rest a bit."
But Shi Fei stood up, "You should eat up. If you don’t now, you might never get the chance again. People like you probably don’t often get to taste wild mushrooms. This is a rare opportunity. Look at Ye Feng, the Fifth Young Master; doesn’t he seem to enjoy it a lot, as if he hasn’t eaten in ages? You should learn from him."
"Shi Fei, if you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak at all!" Gao Ningning snapped. She couldn’t explain why, but it seed like Ye Feng was being insulted by Shi Fei, making her feel uncomfortable.
The more Gao Ningning looked at Ye Feng, the more endearing he beca—even she couldn’t articulate why.
When she heard Shi Fei speak about Ye Feng, for so reason, it made her rather upset.
Liu Ji frowned. Although Gao Ningning was generally nice to everyone, standing up for a boy she had just t, to this extent, was unprecedented among their group.
Ye Feng, however, didn’t care at all. In his eyes, Shi Fei was just a child, and no adult should bother about the words of a child.
Thereupon, Liu Ji coldly addressed Ye Feng, "Brother Ye Feng, you’ve beco quite the sensation at Longdu University today. I’ve heard you’re a transfer student; where are you from, and what do your parents do?"
Ye Feng replied indifferently, "Oh, my parents disappeared when I was twelve. In Lin Tian City, it’s been just my grandfather taking care of ."
"Turns out he’s an orphan!" Shi Fei laughed coldly.
"Shi Fei! You’re going too far!" Gao Ningning was furious, glaring at Shi Fei, "If you keep being so rude, you can get out. We don’t welco you here."
Everyone was stunned, not expecting Gao Ningning to defend Ye Feng so vehently and angrily.
Liu Ji only grew angrier, "Ningning, what’s gotten into you today? Ye Feng is just a loser. Look at the four of them, they’re totally clueless even about eating a al. It’s better for you to stay away from people like that. It could hold you back. You’re the young lady of the Gao Family, you shouldn’t associate with such low people!"
"Liu Ji, Shi Fei, what do you an by ’low people’? Can’t you speak properly? Do you not realize who I, Gao Ningning, am? If you keep going on like this, I’ll leave, and don’t contact ever again!" Gao Ningning was very angry.
No one expected Gao Ningning to get so angry on behalf of Ye Feng.
Liu Ji’s rage intensified, but he restrained himself in the pursuit of winning Gao Ningning’s affection.
"Alright, Ningning, I know I was wrong. I’ll stop, okay?" Liu Ji had to compromise.
The atmosphere in the private room beca incredibly awkward. It was at this mont that Shi Fei’s girlfriend stood up, "I’m going to use the restroom."
Shi Fei nodded, and no one paid much attention.
"Ahh~~~" Just then, a piercing scream echoed into the private room, followed by a woman’s loud cries, "Shi Fei, Shi Fei, save !"
"Isn’t that my girlfriend?" Shi Fei jumped up in anger, and with a fierce look in his eyes, rushed out of the room. Outside, he saw a man with dyed yellow hair, wearing a tank top and a gold chain around his neck, grabbing his girlfriend’s hand, "Damn it, you cheap wench, getting ahead of yourself, huh!"
"Damn!" Shi Fei furiously charged over, grabbing the man’s hand and throwing a punch. However, the blonde man quickly blocked Shi Fei’s punch with ease.
Surprised, Shi Fei called for backup, "Mr. Liu, help out!"
"You’re asking for it!" Liu Ji charged out and, with a cracking of bones and a burst of External Force, threw a punch at the yellow-haired man, resulting in a crisp sound.
"Boom!" The punch hit the yellow-haired man straight in the face, sending him flying backwards to the ground. Looking up in shock at Liu Ji, he exclaid, "A peak External Force Martial Artist!"
Fuming with rage, Liu Ji stared at the yellow-haired man, "Bastard, you dare ss with my brother’s girl? You’re looking for trouble?"
After hearing Liu Ji’s outburst, a flicker of fear flashed in the yellow-haired man’s eyes, "Buddy, I advise you not to ddle in business that’s not yours. Are you going to throw punches without even knowing the full story?"
"To hell with asking!" Liu Ji roared, leaping into the air and delivering a ferocious kick to the yellow-haired man’s head. Liu Ji had been pent up with rage because Gao Ningning had been defending Ye Feng all night, and now he saw an opportunity to vent his anger.
The yellow-haired man was kicked across the floor by Liu Ji’s powerful blow, sliding several ters across the ground.
Then, Liu Ji and Shi Fei rushed to the yellow-haired man and began beating him viciously.
Liu Ji released his pent-up rage in a frenzied assault.
