Chapter 1427: Stunned the Entire Audience
At this point, everyone knew what had happened. Sister Liu had found a new boyfriend, and this boyfriend, Shen Feng, had previously had a fling with Li Ru.
So this time Sister Liu wanted to humiliate Li Ru, as she couldn't keep hold of her own man, and then Liu herself managed to win him over. However, Ling Zhenfei's few words instead made Sister Liu and Shen Feng feel ashamed and angry.
Ling Zhenfei appeared gentle and scholarly, yet unexpectedly, he was so tough in a fight that neither Shen Feng nor Sister Liu could lay a finger on him.
This matter was simply terrifying. Just a moment ago, everyone was busy with their own things and hardly anyone noticed Ling Zhenfei, but now he became the center of everyone's attention, with all eyes on him.
"He's so handsome, who is he, and what's his relationship with Li Ru?"
"I heard Li Ru say he's her younger brother. Just now he also said Li Ru is his sister. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
"Don't you find him a bit familiar?"
"Oh, stop with your nonsense. Every handsome guy, you find familiar."
"Are you close with Li Ru? Can you help me find out some information about him?"
At this moment, Ling Zhenfei said to Li Ru, "Let's go, sister. The food here is so terrible, I really don't know how anyone can eat it."
There was no need to say it; they certainly couldn't stay here any longer. Even if the food were good, they couldn't stay. Ling Zhenfei and Li Ru walked outside together.
The people behind watched as Ling Zhenfei and Li Ru left the door, and some even picked up their belongings, ready to leave. After what happened, staying any longer would only result in awkwardness.
"Thank you, Ling Zhenfei. If it weren't for you, I honestly wouldn't know what to do tonight."
Even for a strong woman like Li Ru, it was very rare to see her like a little woman, so vulnerable.
Others only saw Li Ru as a shrewd and capable iron lady, but who knew about her emotional vulnerability and helplessness behind the scenes?
Just like tonight, Sister Liu clearly set a trap for Li Ru, intending to use her as an example to humiliate her. Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei was there, otherwise, Li Ru would have been bullied to death.
Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."
Li Ru replied, "I know we are people from two different worlds. Originally, our paths wouldn't have crossed, but Heaven generously let me meet you and realize there are men like you in this world."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Listening to you, people might think I have no flaws at all."
Li Ru said, "Of course, you have flaws. You're lecherous and fickle, sometimes impulsive, but that's exactly the kind of person I like. Lecherous and fickle because your abilities are too strong."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Stop it, you're making me blush."
Li Ru said, "I really need to thank you for today. Without you, I wouldn't know how to get through."
Ling Zhenfei said, "For people like that, you've got to just smack them right on the face. What nonsense."
Li Ru laughed and said, "But I should thank him too. If he hadn't given up on me, how could I have met you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "That Shen Feng is really a piece of work. For money, he's willing to do anything."
Li Ru sighed and said, "He left me initially also because of money, and now he's with Sister Liu for money. Shen Feng should just change his name to Shen Qian, always focused on money."
Money, money is truly a good thing. In this society, without money, you can't do anything. Isn't this just the way it goes, saying don't get sick, but you can't be without money.
That's how it is. In today's society, some people pursue power, some money, and that's perfectly understandable.
The next morning, Ling Zhenfei got up early and made breakfast for Li Ru. The satisfaction on Li Ru's face was self-evident, her face even had a glowing redness, looking very well.
While having breakfast, Li Ru asked Ling Zhenfei, "What are you going to do later? If you're free, come shopping with me."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I have very important things to do today. I'll accompany you next time when I'm free."
Li Ru responded with a slight hint of disappointment but said nothing.
"When are you leaving the Capital City?" Li Ru asked.
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "There's a lot to do, so I don't know when I'll leave or come back. But my restaurant is about to open, so I'll definitely be back."
Li Ru said a bit melancholically, "I know you have many women around you, but I hope you don't forget me. As long as you say you'll come back, I'll keep the door open for you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Which door? The front door or the one below you."
Li Ru's face turned red, and she retorted, "Bad guy, you can't be serious for even two sentences."
Ling Zhenfei quickly said, "I'm just joking with you. Don't worry, I won't forget you, sister, I still don't want to leave your gentle embrace."
Li Ru was all smiles, like a little woman, going through mood swings.
After breakfast, Ling Zhenfei said goodbye to Li Ru. Mao Xuejing was arriving at the airport at noon today, so Ling Zhenfei still had some time to prepare.
At that moment, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang, and it was Bai Ling calling.
Bai Ling said, "Ling Zhenfei, where did you go? Why didn't you come back all night, and didn't answer your phone?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "You saw who picked me up yesterday, didn't you? That was someone very powerful. How could I dare answer your calls? It would have been disrespectful."
Bai Ling said, "Then why didn't you come back at night? Where did you go?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yesterday my leader and I studied what we needed to discuss today. We didn't realize it got a bit late, and my leader arranged a room for rest. I saw it was late, so I didn't call you back.
This morning when I went out, I called you immediately. Where are you now? Come over quickly."
Bai Ling believed Ling Zhenfei's words and said, "Where are you now? I'll come right away."
Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to come over. Let's take a taxi together to Car World. I want to buy a car; otherwise, getting around Capital City is too inconvenient."
"Okay."
Ling Zhenfei took a taxi to Car World, and Bai Ling had just arrived too. Although Bai Ling believed Ling Zhenfei, she still looked on with a trace of doubt.
However, Bai Ling didn't say anything, obviously knowing she didn't have any evidence.
"What car do you want to buy?" Bai Ling asked.
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "It should be practical. Xue Jing is coming over. If there's time, I'll need to take her out, so it needs to be something with a bit of space."
Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then buy a business car. It's comfortable to sit in."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, you pick what you like, anyway, I don't drive often."
Bai Ling said, "Do you think I drive often?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "If neither of us drives often, maybe we shouldn't buy it."
Bai Ling said, "Can you stop joking? We're already here."
