Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Clever

Su Lu had indeed set out with the aim of eating Japanese cuisine. When Su Yi sat in her car, he could clearly feel that she wasn’t driving slowly. Initially, he thought they were headed for a distant place, but it turned out to be just one street away?

"That close?" Su Yi said, somewhat surprised, as he unbuckled his seat belt, feeling that putting it on in the first place had been superfluous, "We could have walked over."

Su Lu parked the car and turned off the engine, "I had planned to walk over, but who knew Su Yukan would show up and delay me. I’m hungry, and driving is faster."

Su Yi opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He simply felt that Su Lu had a really good attitude, seemingly not taking Su Yukan’s earlier troubles to heart at all.

And her previous bad mood, perhaps it was just because of Su Yukan’s appearance. It had just disrupted her lunch plans.

The Japanese restaurant was decorated lavishly and elegantly. Upon entering, one could receive excellent service.

Su Lu and Su Yi took their seats, and Su Lu quickly ordered what she wanted to eat before passing the menu to Su Yi, who also ordered some food.

In no time, the exquisite dishes were served one after another.

Each dish was a small portion but delicious and beautifully presented. Su Lu ate with great satisfaction, Su Yi watching her enjoy her meal opposite him, her enjoyment not diminishing her grace.

He wasn’t very hungry, so he silently pushed a few untouched dishes from in front of him towards her.

Su Lu noticed it but didn’t say much, quietly accepting Su Yi’s kindness. Honestly, she didn’t quite understand why Su Yi had suddenly changed his behavior.

As for an epiphany... For all these years, he couldn’t possibly have been unaware of how Su Yukan’s family of three treated her.

Yet he had never been kind to her because of it. So why the sudden change of heart? Su Lu was somewhat skeptical. A small animal, wounded too many times, tends to be like that, meeting a sudden act of kindness with suspicion and wariness.

Su Yi saw her enjoying the meal, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

He got up and went to the restroom.

When he came back, Su Lu noticed that there was something odd about his expression.

"What’s the matter?" she couldn’t help but ask. She could never be indifferent to Su Yi.

Su Yi pursed his lips, hesitating to speak, and paused for a moment before asking, "You... don’t play games or watch game competitions, right?"

Su Lu looked at him for a moment, blinked, and said, "I watch."

Su Yi was skeptical, "Really? What games?"

"Why don’t you tell me what’s going on first? What does this have to do with games?" Su Lu pressed.

Su Yi explained, "On the way to the restroom just now, I saw a private room where a professional gamer seemed to be having a dispute with someone, and it looked like they were about to start fighting."

"What game? Which player?" Su Lu continued to inquire.

Su Yi had underestimated her because to do business in this field, Su Lu had deliberately familiarized herself with a lot of insider information. From the strengths and weaknesses of the players to the rules and gameplay of the competitions.

That was why she had not flinched when facing questions from Lieying Club’s manager, Xiang Tiancheng.

Su Yi, however, didn’t know this and simply thought she didn’t understand, so he casually said, "You wouldn’t know him, a guy surnamed Ying..."

Before Su Yi could finish, Su Lu’s eyebrows raised, "Are you talking about Ying Xi? ’hope’?"

Su Lu’s comment took Su Yi by surprise, "How do you know that?"

Su Lu’s brows furrowed slightly, "Of course I know him."

Because he was soon to become a member of the team she was co-investing in.

So Su Lu quickly stood up, frowning and said softly, "At such a sensitive moment like this, if any scandal gets out, it would be over. Not to mention anything else, just fighting and brawling alone would lead to fairly severe penalties in the league. I need to go and see."

"Ah?" Su Yi didn’t understand but still hurried to follow.

Guided by Su Yi’s directions, Su Lu arrived at the VIP room just as the dust had settled, which is to say, the fight was pretty much over.

The scene wasn’t too chaotic, frankly speaking, it hadn’t even drawn the attention of the wait staff, so it was clear that although they had come to blows, they had restrained themselves. At the very least, they didn’t make it widely known, and there wasn’t any damage to dishes or glassware.

On the VIP room’s tatami mats, Ying Xi sat atop another person. He was pinning him down firmly and then leisurely lit a cigarette.

When Su Lu arrived, Ying Xi’s cigarette was just about half-smoked.

When his gaze caught Su Lu, Ying Xi paused for a second, then his lips moved slightly. Even though no sound came out, it wasn’t hard to make out what he said from the shape of his mouth.

Because the syllables were too direct and simple, they could be easily read from his lip movements.

Ying Xi’s lips murmured softly, "Fuck. Why is she here."

"If I don’t come, were you planning to cause a bigger scene?" Su Lu frowned and then stepped forward to pull him up, without success.

Ying Xi exhaled a ring of smoke, still not getting up from the person he was pinning down, and continued, "If I was planning to cause a big scene, the first to arrive wouldn’t be you. It would be the waiters, reporters, or the police."

He had a point.

However, "Is that what you should be doing as a professional player, or are you expecting me to praise you? The transfer period is already sensitive enough and here you are fighting. You should know, once the transfer period is over, we plan to promote you as a pillar of the club. Your situation is very sensitive right now!"

Su Lu’s words were very businesslike. Su Yi on the side could tell that Su Lu was not unfamiliar with Ying Xi; in fact, she was familiar enough to speak to this star player with a glowing reputation in a slightly lecturing tone.

Su Lu was right, Ying Xi wanted to retort but thought better of it and closed his mouth.

On the other hand, the man he was pinning down looked a bit bruised around the eyes and had a cut on the corner of his mouth. He was somewhat embarrassed.

He lifted his eyes to look at Ying Xi and Su Lu, then let out a laugh, "I wouldn’t have guessed, hope, that you’d get sold so quickly? Since that’s the case, why did you put so much effort into our fight? I guess I wasn’t wrong earlier, eh? You’re just someone who sees money and opens his eyes wide? Your new boss must have given you a lot of money, right? How much did you sell yourself for? What was the price to keep alive the trash on your team?"

Su Lu turned and narrowed her eyes at him, recognizing that he was also an eSports player, but not from Lieying Club, but rather a player named Lang Ya from a rival club of Lieying.

This season, his status was slightly below Ying Xi’s, but he matched Ying Xi’s skill in previous seasons.

However, Su Lu didn’t have the time to argue such nonsense with him; she furrowed her brows and said, "Your words are quite interesting. Why should you care what price we offer to Ying Xi? Anyway, it’s a price you can’t fetch. Jealousy is a disease; you better treat it as soon as you can, before your failure to get timely treatment harms others."

Lang Ya was taken aback and choked, nearly coughing to death, never having expected Su Lu to suddenly jump in and counter him.
