Chapter 63: Chapter 0063: Hit While Flirting?

Sun Zhuangjia’s eyes flashed with anger, but he maintained a façade and said, "That’s true, romance is free nowadays, but you still need to choose the right person. Be sure not to get cheated."

"Tang Ming is a good person, I trust him."

Su Xiaoxi tenderly placed a hand on the back of Tang Ming’s hand, continuing to provoke Sun Zhuangjia with her actions.

Feeling the warmth and softness of her hand, Tang Ming almost wanted to tell Su Xiaoxi that such moves were going to cost her extra!

"Ha, a good person?"

Holding a wine glass and leaning back in his chair, Sun Zhuangjia asked Tang Ming sarcastically, "I wonder where Brother Tang has made his fortune? You don’t look old, you can’t still be a student living off your parents, right?"

"Rich? Not really, just been working on a confidential project recently."

Tang Ming was not someone to be easily bullied. Sun Zhuangjia was clearly not the type to back down easily. If he didn’t let him hit a wall, he wouldn’t turn back.

"Confidential project? You mean like a secret agent?"

Swirling his wine, Sun Zhuangjia frowned and said:

"Lately, I’ve heard quite a bit about some ’King of Soldiers’ secret agents in universities, all acting mysterious, seducing female students, getting them pregnant and then running off. Such people are really scum, influenced by a few novels and nothing but deceit."

As he spoke, Sun Zhuangjia glanced meaningfully at Tang Ming, clearly insinuating him.

"Speaking of scum, some people come with the intent to deceive for a lifetime, they are even worse than scum."

Tang Ming responded with a smirk, his meaning also clear – he was cursing Sun Zhuangjia.

"Hehe."

Attempting to laugh it off and hide his inner fury, Sun Zhuangjia gravely said, "Brother Tang, our Sun Family is quite renowned in this province. If you have any troubles in Songlan City, you can come to me. I guarantee I can solve them! You know the Ma Family in Songlan, right? My word carries weight!"

Using his influence to intimidate, Sun Zhuangjia, seeing that sarcasm didn’t work, resorted to flaunting his family background to intimidate Tang Ming.

It was well known that the Sun Family held significant fame in the province, far more powerful than the Liu Family. Anyone familiar with the facts would be genuinely fearful, because facing the Sun Family, no small family could avoid trembling.

But Tang Ming didn’t care, being all alone himself. Besides, to him, it made no difference whether it was a notorious family locally or internationally.

Su Xiaoxi herself was taken aback on hearing Sun Zhuangjia flaunt his family to press others, but at the same time, she felt even more disdainful towards him, relieved that she hadn’t been deceived by him. His actions were entirely those of a spoiled heir. How could he ever be a ’good person’?

"Troubles, I have always solved them myself, without relying on others."

After finishing a glass of wine, Tang Ming said:

"Besides, the Ma Family has had a major incident, didn’t you know? With all your capability, why not bail the Ma brothers out of jail first!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi ambiguously added:

"Darling, I love this aspect of your character, not depending on anyone else, fighting alone."

Sun Zhuangjia was infuriated and naturally didn’t believe the news about the Ma Family’s trouble, thinking Tang Ming was bluffing, so he said to Tang Ming:

"Brother Tang, shall we step outside and talk?"

"Oh? Wasn’t it clear enough in the bathroom just now?"

Tang Ming said with a curl of his lip.

With his face flaming red, Sun Zhuangjia was looked upon with disapproval by Su Xiaoxi, who frowned at him. Sun Zhuangjia, skilled in the Vigorous Vajra Palm, had hands as hard as vajra and possessed overpowering hand power. An ordinary person hit by his palm could sustain serious injuries or even die if hit at vital points.

For someone like him to go after Tang Ming, a regular person, was utterly disgraceful.

As if he could read Su Xiaoxi’s mind, Sun Zhuangjia, with a red face, explained, "Xiaoxi, actually, I didn’t do anything to Tang Ming. Don’t worry, I still uphold the spirit of martial arts."

"Hmph, just remember what you said just now."

Su Xiaoxi huffed.

Tang Ming found it amusing internally. So these Martial Arts Families do have something called the spirit of martial arts, which is probably just about not casually attacking ordinary people. However, does Sun Zhuangjia not realize that I too am a martial artist? I’m really worried about his intelligence.

"Tang Ming, let’s go outside and talk. As Xiaoxi’s friend, I have a responsibility to give you a few words of advice,"

After saying this, Sun Zhuangjia got up and walked outside the cafe.

After he left, Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi and asked,

"Shouldn’t I get a raise for this? This job is so much trouble, and it’s life-threatening at any moment. Had I known it was this dangerous, I wouldn’t have taken it for two thousand yuan."

"Don’t just think about money. Once Sun Zhuangjia gives up, haven’t you completed your task?"

Su Xiaoxi reminded him,

"But I’m warning you, Sun Zhuangjia is no ordinary man. Be careful later and don’t shake hands with him, or he might ruin your hand."

"Don’t worry, he isn’t capable of that."

Tang Ming also got up, hoping to resolve the issue quickly and earn the money.

The two of them left the cafe one after the other. At this time, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were curiously watching what was happening. Suddenly they saw Tang Ming and another man walk out one after another, unsure of what they were going to do.

"It’s all over now. Tang Ming definitely messed with someone else’s girlfriend, and now he’s been called out for a talk."

Li Xiaoli said with a face full of schadenfreude.

"Really?"

Liu Mengting angrily said, "That brat Tang Ming can’t even sit still in a cafe, always flirting around. Now he’s found trouble, and he deserves it."

"Meng Meng sister, what if they start fighting and end up in the hospital? What do we do then?"

Li Xiaoli said anxiously.

"For me, it’d be better if he ended up in the hospital then he would stop flirting, and I’d even have a reason to dock his pay. Didn’t you say you wanted to use his salary for a big meal?"

Liu Mengting said nonchalantly.

"No, Meng Meng sister, you’ve got it wrong. What if Tang Ming lands that guy in the hospital? Wouldn’t they come asking you for compensation?"

Li Xiaoli said, almost seeing the man being brutally beaten by Tang Ming and writhing in pain on the ground.

Liu Mengting, who was drinking a beverage, suddenly shook:

"Xiaoli, you’re right! Tang Ming is my bodyguard, and he doesn’t have money. If he sends someone to the hospital, our family will indeed have to pay for the medical bills."

Recalling Tang Ming’s capabilities from the time on the mountain road, Liu Mengting knew he was formidable and not easily harmed by ordinary people.

"Right! Right! Right! If something happens later, we’ll pretend we don’t know him and quickly run away. His newly flirted girlfriend seems to have some money. Let her pay!"

Li Xiaoli said.

Liu Mengting glanced at Su Xiaoxi not far away, suddenly feeling a bit unhappy, like there was a loss she couldn’t quite identify.
