Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Who Doesn’t Have a Temper?
Su Yi was also a bit surprised; he clearly hadn’t expected Su Lu to lose her temper and say such things, especially since she was always so calm when facing Su Yukan.
Su Yi had even thought she was the type without a temper, a pushover.
Lang Ya was stunned for a moment before finally retorting, "You... who are you?"
Su Lu said, "The future boss of hope, but that’s none of your business anyway."
Su Lu frowned and looked at Ying Xi, reaching out her hand, "Do you want me to help you up?"
Ying Xi, who had been lying on Lang Ya’s back, pursed his lips after hearing this, and the tall, slender boy with pale skin stood up awkwardly.
Lang Ya immediately flipped himself up from the ground, straightening his somewhat disheveled clothes. His expression was very stiff; after all, if it had just been him and Ying Xi fighting and no one had seen it, it wouldn’t have been a big deal—just a private grudge between the two of them.
But being seen was a different matter, especially since the league expressly forbade such things. And now this woman in front of him was Ying Xi’s boss—who knew if she would take this opportunity to make things difficult for him?
So he stood there, quite stiff and embarrassed, yet also not daring to leave.
Su Lu, though shorter than both of them, seemed to have an air that was no less imposing.
She scanned them both and then took out her phone to dial a number.
Lang Ya’s expression turned ugly in an instant, thinking she was calling to complain about him.
But what Su Lu did next after surveying them and dialing the call, when someone answered was to say...
"Hello, Ah Li? This is Su Lu. I happened upon Ying Xi fighting with someone outside. Could you come over?"
Ying Xi’s brows furrowed tightly upon hearing her. He felt like snatching the phone away that very minute.
Without knowing what was said on the other end, he only heard Su Lu continue, "Over by the Yi Restaurant at Minglan Square."
Then she ended the call.
Ying Xi’s frown deepened, looking quite troubled.
"Why did you call him..."
Ying Xi had a complex expression. He wasn’t used to interacting with Jiang Li, yet he absolutely knew that Jiang Li was good to him. People instinctively can’t dislike those who are good to them, but sometimes there’s a feeling of awkwardness.
It was a kind of petulance borne from knowing one is favored.
I know you’ll be good to me, so it’s okay if I’m a bit willful.
I know you’ll forgive me, so it’s okay if I’m a bit spoiled.
Su Lu glanced at the complex expression on Ying Xi’s face and raised an eyebrow, "Seeing you like this makes me feel calling Jiang Li was the right decision."
Su Lu was aware of Jiang Li’s past, and therefore, she knew Jiang Li must be quite good to Ying Xi. Although she didn’t know how Jiang Li interacted with him, it seemed that Jiang Li held significant weight in Ying Xi’s considerations.
She didn’t want to deal with children; she already had one such temperamental kid following her around.
Su Yi’s awkwardness towards Su Lu was actually just like Ying Xi’s towards Jiang Li, both characterized by petulance born from knowing they were favored.
"You!" Ying Xi glared at her.
Su Lu, however, seemed indifferent to his stare.
Originally, Su Yi was curious about such a top-tier e-sports player, but given the situation, he wisely knew to remain silent.
Jiang Li arrived incredibly fast; anyone unaware might have thought he had been waiting nearby all along.
But from his hurried demeanor, anxious eyes, and the fine sweat on his forehead, it was clear that he was not nearby but had rushed over from a long distance away.
Jiang Li, without even having a chance to wipe the sweat from his forehead, burst into the private room and urgently asked, "What happened? Why did a fight break out? No one’s hurt, right?"
Then his gaze landed on Ying Xi, sizing him up and down. Not spotting any obvious injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
He took a seat at the table, finally letting the exhaustion of his rushed arrival show through his expression, and asked, "So, what’s going on?"
Su Lu shrugged her shoulders, "I don’t know the details. I just happened to come by. It’s up to you to handle this."
Jiang Li nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked her, "Are you eating here? This meal’s on me."
"It’s fine," Su Lu shook her head, "I’ll be leaving then."
Jiang Li hummed in acknowledgment, "Thanks."
Su Lu was about to leave, then suddenly seemed to remember something. She halted in her steps, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You’re going to Boss’s opening banquet, right?"
Jiang Li nodded as if it were a matter of course, "Of course. Why?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.
Su Lu pursed her lips, pondering for a moment before saying softly, "I haven’t received an invitation."
Jiang Li was initially startled, then immediately laughed, "That’s for outsiders. Why would we need an invitation? I don’t have one either. We can just go directly when the time comes."
Su Lu blinked, "Is that so, I see."
She felt slightly relieved. She wasn’t someone who would give up easily, and regardless, she felt that she should have a face-to-face talk with Bo Jingshen.
"Of course," Jiang Li smiled, "We’ll see each other then."
Su Lu nodded, then prepared to lead Su Yi out. But as they reached the doorway, she paused and stood still.
Taking out paper and pen from her bag, she turned around and approached Ying Xi, placing the paper and pen before him, "Could you give me an autograph?"
Ying Xi looked at her, seemingly taken aback for a moment, then picked up the paper and pen to sign, casting a strange glance at Su Lu, as if surprised she would ask for his autograph. After she had just reported him...
Then Su Lu pushed the paper and pen toward Lang Ya.
Lang Ya gave her a look even stranger than Ying Xi’s but signed his name as well.
"Thank you," Su Lu said.
Then she waved at Jiang Li, "Ah Li, I’m leaving now."
Su Yi followed her out, and as they left the private room, Su Lu handed him the autographs of the two men.
Su Yi was taken aback, looking at the autographs presented to him. It was awkward whether to accept them or not.
"For me?" he asked, somewhat unexpectedly.
Su Lu nodded, "I saw you recognized them instantly; you must be quite interested in eSports players."
Indeed, most young boys had some knowledge of eSports and would find time to watch the games, familiarizing themselves with some well-known players.
Su Yi simply hadn’t expected her to notice and take care of such details.
"Thank... Thank you," Su Yi said softly, and then just as softly added a term of address, "Sis."
"No problem," Su Lu replied. Su Lu and Su Yi returned to their seats to continue eating. It was as if, after what had just transpired, Su Lu was hungry again.
Su Yi reasonably suspected... her impatience with Ying Xi and the others was simply because their affair had interrupted her meal, and she hadn’t had her fill.
