Chapter 299
Seeing that the two of them did not go too far from the ballroom made him heave in relief.
In a hidden corner, Zhang Yi Hai continued to watch over his sister.
Although he could not listen to their conversation, Zhang Yi Hai could still see that the two of them were talking about something. Seeing Mu Zhen Yu’s dejected face and his sister’s firm expression gave him a few clues about their conversation.
Fortunately, their talk did not last for too long.
After saying what she wanted to say, Zhang Li Xue finally turned around to walk back to the ballroom. Zhang Li Xue was surprised to see her brother standing in front of her.
After a few seconds, she gathered herself and looked at her brother with a smile. “Yi Hai.”
“Sister, are you alright?” Zhang Yi Hai looked at her in concern.
“Mmm...” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “It’s fine. We just had a brief chat. That’s all.”
.....
Zhang Yi Hai studied his sister’s face for a while longer. Then, he lowered his gaze. Although he was curious to know what his sister and Mu Zhen Yu had talked about, Zhang Yi Hai decided not to ask about it.
His sister definitely knew what she was doing.
“I should go back to find Bai Qi,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Otherwise, he would worry.”
Although she had already texted to tell him that she was going to step away to speak to Mu Zhen Yu, Zhang Li Xue was still worried that her boyfriend would misunderstand.
Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “Sister, you go ahead. I’m going out to take a bit of air.”
Zhang Li Xue knew that her brother was not a fan of such gatherings. After saying a few words to her brother, she then turned around to look for her boyfriend.
He watched as his sister walked into the ballroom before turning around.
Not too far away from him, Mu Zhen Yu was still at the same spot where his sister had left him. The look on his face showed that he was not pleased with how his conversation with his sister had ended.
Zhang Yi Hai narrowed his eyes. He decided to ignore Mu Zhen Yu and walked out of the hotel building.
He nodded at the staff and stood at the stairs.
Staying in the ballroom for hours was indeed a little stifling. The scent of alcohol was too strong for him. He needed to stay out for a while for a bit of fresh air.
Zhang Yi Hai stared into the dark night before noticing a quarreling couple not too far from him. The man seemed to be pulling at the girl’s arms while the girl was punching his chest hard.
He was not a busybody and Zhang Yi Hai had no intention to interfere in the couple’s private business.
However, a few seconds later, Zhang Yi Hai seemed to realize that he knew the woman.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at the woman’s silhouette as well as the dress on her body. Then, he seemed to recall that Fang Su Jin was also wearing the same dress. Their hairstyle was also the same.
His heart skipped a beat as he came to realize these things.
Zhang Yi Hai walked over to their side and heard Fang Su Jin’s voice, scolding the man.
“Lin Fang, you bastard!” Fang Su Jin continued to hit him on the chest. However, the man held her tightly and refused to let her go. “I told you that I am not interested in you. You better let me go now before I scream.”
A while ago, Fang Su Jin was still chatting with her friends happily. When she was a little tired, Fang Su Jin decided to find a quiet corner to sit down.
Then, Lin Fang walked over to her and told her that he had something to talk to her about.
Fang Su Jin decided to make things clear with this man and followed him out. Who would have thought that the moment they came out, Lin Fang would pester her and tell her to marry him?
“Then, I dare you to scream.” Lin Fang sneered.
Fang Su Jin saw the crazy look in Lin Fang’s eyes and wanted to take a step back. However, the man was holding her hand tightly.
“Fang Su Jin, you should go to your parents and tell them that you will agree to our marriage.”
“No.” Fang Su Jin stared back at him, not wanting to show that she was afraid. “We both did not have feelings for each other. Why on earth would I want to marry you? Lin Fang, you’re sick!”
“If you don’t like me, then why did you go out on a date with me?”
Fang Su Jin gritted her teeth. “Wasn’t it because of your mother? If she did not talk to my mother, would I still go out with you?”
It was only because Lin Fang’s mother had come to her that Fang Su Jin decided to accompany him to an engagement party.
Then, each time that Lin Fang invited her out, it was also because of his mother.
The person who liked her was Lin Fang’s mother. But this lunatic loved his mother very much that he was willing to follow just whatever arrangement his mother had for him.
Why would she want to be with someone like Lin Fang? Was she crazy?
The tugging and pushing lasted for a while. In the end, Fang Su Jin became impatient. She gathered her courage and leaned over to bite Lin Fang’s hand.
The man’s scream was loud, but Lin Fang finally released his grip.
“You are crazy!” Fang Su Jin spat.
Lin Fang stared at the bite mark on his hand with reddened eyes.
Before Fang Su Jin could turn around and leave, Lin Fang grabbed her arms again. He muttered a cursing word and raised his hand to slap Fang Su Jin.
However, before his hand could land on the woman’s face, someone grabbed his wrist first, stopping his movement.
“You even dared to hit a girl?”
The tall man’s dangerous eyes were scaring him, but Lin Fang tried to look brave. “Who are you?”
