Because in their hearts, they suddenly felt sothing similar—they were taking a liking to this simple yet caring boy.
But their situation was even more serious than Chu Mo’s, because they were Wang Yue’s cousins. For Chu Mo, it was just a matter of differing opinions between them and Wang Yue, but for them, the obstacles involved ethics.
After playing two gas, it was already approaching noon. Wang Yue and the others were about to head upstairs to the restaurant for lunch when they saw several people walking towards them.
It was a group of young n, led by a man in his twenties who was dressed very elegantly.
"Mo Mo, what a coincidence! I never thought I would et you here," the man at the head of the group said, greeting them with a smile.
"Zhang Qingtian," Chu Mo replied helplessly. This man was the fiancé that her family had arranged for her—the legitimate son of the Zhang family in Jinling.
Zhang Qingtian laughed and said, "We’re almost getting married. Why do you still treat each other so formally?"
"Yeah, Mo Mo, that’s really not right," Su Xiu’er said from beside them. "You should call him ’Zhang Lao Si’ instead."
"You..." Zhang Qingtian was instantly furious.
During a previous gathering, Zhang Qingtian’s father, in order to please an important person, had deliberately claid that he was called Zhang Lao San and pointed at Zhang Qingtian, saying that he was his son Zhang Lao Si.
Later, soone must have spread this story, and it beca known throughout Jinling. The nickna "Zhang Lao San" and "Zhang Lao Si" beca the biggest taboo between the father and son.
"What about it? It’s the nas you gave yourselves—so you don’t allow others to use them?" Su Xiu’er snapped.
Although Zhang Qingtian was furious, he still took the Su family into consideration and ignored Su Xiu’er’s provocation. Instead, he looked at Chu Mo and said, "Mo Mo, co with !"
"Why should I go with you?" Su Xiu’er stepped in front of Chu Mo. "Not to ntion that Mo Mo hasn’t married into your Zhang family yet—even if she had, you don’t have the right to restrict her freedom."
Zhang Qingtian was filled with anger, but he didn’t dare to act out. He just stood in front of them, blocking their way.
Wang Yue stepped forward and said, "Zhang Lao Si, right? We’re going to eat now. Please move aside."
"Stop calling that!" Seeing that even a kid like Wang Yue was provoking him, Zhang Qingtian lost his temper and shouted, "Otherwise, don’t bla for being rude."
"How exactly do you plan to be rude?" Wang Yue dug at his ear with his little finger, acting like a ruffian.
"Wang Yue, others may be afraid of you, but I’m not!" Zhang Qingtian roared.
"No one told you to be afraid of . I just asked you to move out of the way. As the saying goes, a good dog doesn’t block the path—so you’re not even as good as a dog, are you?" Wang Yue said calmly.
Zhang Qingtian clenched his fists, but he didn’t dare to attack Wang Yue. Instead, he glared at Chu Mo and shouted, "Chu Mo, I’m asking you one last ti—will you co with or not?"
"Truly a dog that blocks the path... and a stubborn one at that," Wang Yue turned to his cousin and asked, "Jiao Jiao, what should we do when we encounter a stubborn dog blocking the way?"
Su Jiao Jiao, who wasn’t afraid of causing a scene, imdiately replied, "Of course, we should kick it away."
"That’s right," Wang Yue said, then suddenly kicked Zhang Qingtian in the chest.
Zhang Qingtian didn’t expect Wang Yue to dare attack him in public, and the kick ca so quickly that he couldn’t dodge it at all. He stumbled back several steps, but fortunately, his companions helped him up so he didn’t fall.
"Wang Yue, you dared to hit !" Zhang Qingtian was both shocked and angry.
"What’s wrong with hitting you? I’m just teaching you how to behave," Wang Yue said calmly. "In Jinling, it’s not your turn to act so arrogantly just because you have the surna Zhang."
There were many people in the video ga arcade, and the commotion had already attracted quite a few onlookers. Hearing what Wang Yue said, they all secretly rolled their eyes.
From beginning to end, they hadn’t seen Zhang Qingtian act arrogantly at all—his request was simply for his fiancée to co with him. On the other hand, it was Wang Yue who had first provoked Su Xiu’er, and then actually hit soone. Now, he was accusing the other party of being arrogant.
But no matter what they thought, none of them dared to say anything.
Who were these two people?
One was the young master of the Zhang family in Jinling, and the other was the only descendant of one of the three major families in Jinling.
This was truly a battle between gods—it was better for ordinary people like them to stay away.
At this mont, Zhang Qingtian was so angry that he didn’t dare to speak out. He felt extrely frustrated.
Although he also had the fifth level of the Qi Cultivation realm, from that kick just now, he could tell that Wang Yue’s strength had already surpassed what the Zhang family had recorded.
In other words, against Wang Yue, he couldn’t win either in terms of background or personal ability. Even if he decided to risk everything and fight, he would only suffer losses at first and might face further consequences later.
"Fine, fine... let’s see what happens!" With no other choice, Zhang Qingtian left with a defiant remark. But before he walked away, his resentful gaze wasn’t directed at Wang Yue—it was at Chu Mo, who was still standing behind Su Xiuer.
"See that? Such people bully the weak and fear the strong, and they also like to shift their anger onto others. They certainly aren’t any good partners," Su Xiu’er took the opportunity to say.
Chu Mo smiled bitterly and said, "I already knew that, but this was arranged by my family. What can I do about it?"
"How can you do nothing?" Su Xiu’er replied. "My mom is right—there are many ways to repay the family. Why must one sacrifice one’s entire life for it?"
Seeing that the onlookers still hadn’t dispersed, Wang Yue suggested, "Let’s go. Let’s eat first."
On the upper floor of the video ga arcade was an all-you-can-eat restaurant. After entering, Su Xiu’er said again, "Mo Mo, Xiao Yue, you two go find a table. I know what you like to eat."
Chu Mo nodded and, along with Wang Yue, found a table where no one was sitting. Suddenly, she asked, "Wang Yue, are you trying to pursue ?"
"Huh?" Wang Yue smiled sheepishly. "You noticed that?"
"With Xiu’er arranging everything so deliberately, it would be strange if I didn’t," Chu Mo said with a smile, then suddenly beca serious. "Thank you both."
Wang Yue was puzzled. "If I’m trying to pursue you, why would you say thank you?"
"Because I know that you wanted to use this thod to make oppose the marriage arrangent with the Zhang family, and then you would step in to help . That’s why I want to thank you."
"Don’t say that. You are such a good friend to and my two cousins. If not us, who else would help you?" Wang Yue laughed. "Moreover, this is also beneficial for all three of our families."
Chu Mo fell silent for a mont before suddenly saying, "So, pursuing was just a task assigned to you by your cousins? You didn’t really have such feelings yourself?"
"Well, it’s not that... actually... um... I don’t really know how to put it," Wang Yue stamred.
This ti, it wasn’t that he was pretending to be innocent; he really didn’t know how to answer.
To say that he didn’t like Chu Mo would be absolutely false. After all, as a proper "little flirt," if he didn’t like a beauty like Chu Mo, then he wouldn’t be considered a proper one at all.
But to say that he liked her very much and wanted to pursue her desperately would also be an exaggeration. After all, they had just t and didn’t know much about each other yet.
Moreover, although Chu Mo was indeed a peerless beauty, were there any of the beauties from the three major families who were inferior to her? In fact, there were quite a few who were even more beautiful—such as Wang Yue’s two cousins.
