The Best Actor’s Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me!

Chapter 269 Making Friends Without Discretion
Murong Yunxi was not too bothered by what Murong Lanxi had said. She thought and replied casually, “My friend is a model. You must have seen her on TV! Aunt, I’m really sorry about today. I’ll go shopping with you some other time.”

After she said that, Murong Yunxi was afraid that Murong Lanxi would not let her go and so, she turned, grabbed a hold of Tong Nan and left the store.

The shopping mall was well equipped with supporting facilities and cafes could be seen everywhere. Murong Yunxi and Tong Nan entered a store with a relatively elegant and quiet environment.

“Tong Nnan, why are you shopping alone here?”

“Well, I was merely waiting for a friend.” Tong Nan’s answer was vague and she was almost like a completely different person from the lively girl in the past.

Murong Yunxi was slightly surprised but she did not think too much about it and continued to ask, “Didn’t you go to America to spend the New Year with your mom and dad?”

“Well, I still have work to do here.”

Tong Nan was too quiet, making it hard for Murong Yunxi to continue to ignore. “Tong Nan, have you been too tired recently? Or did something happen? Why are you slightly different from the past?”

Tong Nan looked up and gave a look at Murong Yunxi. When she met Murong Yunxi’s clear eyes, she actually dodged her gaze inadvertently.

“Nothing! I am fine.”

Soon, Tong Nan’s cellphone rang. She picked it up and took one look at the text message before she hurriedly got up. “Xiao Xi, I’m sorry, my friend is here. I have to leave. Let’s call and chat again some other day.”

After the two of them parted, Murong Yunxi did not leave quickly. She shopped around the mall casually. Since Murong Lanxi was no longer around, she felt much more at ease. As it was coincidentally the New Year, she thought that she could buy some little New Year gifts for Niannian, Gong Yu and Murong Ye.

Murong Yunxi walked around casually but she suddenly heard a din from the distance. There was even a huge crowd.

As that shopping center was relatively high-end, there were not many people. Furthermore, as it was also the first day of the lunar year, there were even fewer people. Since there were so many people crowding around, it made one feel as if something serious had happened and that everyone in the whole shopping center was crowding around that place.

Murong Yunxi was not a person who liked to join in the fun and she naturally did not go forward to take part in the merriment. She continued to shop around randomly by herself. When Murong Yunxi came out from a shop once again, the crowd had yet to disperse and the din seemed to have escalated.

Murong Yunxi mindlessly skimmed to the center of the crowd and unexpectedly discovered her aunt, Murong Lanxi, and Tong Nan in there.

At the moment, Murong Yunxi could no longer remain calm. Since she knew the people involved, she had to go and have a look.

Murong Yunxi stepped forward and unexpectedly saw a woman tugging Tong Nan’s hair and beating her up.

Tong Nan was actually tall and lanky, and her height greatly exceeded that of the woman. However, she could not overpower the two men who locked their grip onto her on both her left and right side. She could not break free and could merely allow the woman to beat her up as she pleased.

Tong Nan’s eyes were fully red but she did not cry. Instead, she stubbornly hollered and cursed the woman with a vicious look on her face.

“If you have the ability, then beat me to death. If you can’t beat me to death, I will sue you for libel and intentional assault.”

“Oh, you want to sue me? Go ahead and sue then. See if the police will listen to the words of a shameless mistress like you!”

“You are the shameless one. You are randomly accusing people around here before you are clear about the situation. I really don’t know where a mad dog like you ran out from. It’s no wonder that your husband will fool around outside!”

“Pooh! You shameless slut. You actually dare to say I’m a mad dog? You are a fucking wild dog that goes around everywhere in heat. You’re a wild vixen who emanates the stench of a coquette. You are a lowly mule who seduces other people’s husbands. You shameless mistress. You’re a torn shoe that nobody wants…”

That women’s mouth was full of coarse, vulgar words and all the things that she said were offensive to the ears. She continued to beat Tong Nan while she cursed and even tugged at her clothes continuously.

With a few tugs, Tong Nan’s clothes were already messed up by that woman and the pale white skin on the chest was exposed. Fortunately, it was currently winter and she had more clothes on. If it were summer, all of Tong Nan’s clothes would have undoubtedly been ripped off already.

Tong Nan did not have the strength to fight back but she continued to retaliate with her mouth. While glaring at the woman and continued to lash out, “You are an uncultivated shrew. You do not know right from wrong and you are unreasonable. Take a look at how ugly you are now. It’s totally disgusting…”

The woman seemed to have lost her rationality completely, for she continued to curse and beat Tong Nan with even less restraint. Tong Nan’s body was fully covered in bruises and scars from her beatings.

Murong Lanxi added oil to the fire from the side, “Qingmei, say, she has the looks of a vixen. She’s the type that was born to seduce men. Do not go easy on women like this. Your Lao Wei was too much. How did he fall for this vixen’s charming spells?”

Murong Yunxi pushed through the crowd and walked forward before she said cooly with sarcasm, “If you are uncultured, you should at least know how to speak like a human. But yes, if you can’t even be considered as a human, how could you even speak like one?”

She went forward and yanked away the woman who was still beating Tong Nan.

Murong Lanxi was slightly shocked to see Murong Yunxi when she turned to look at the person who came forward and she went up to grab hold of Murong Yunxi. “Xiao Xi, why are you here? Mind your own business. There are things that you are unaware of…”

Murong Yunxi flung away Murong Lanxi’s hands without giving her face and she pulled Wu Qingmei away forcefully. Subsequently, she continued to pry open the iron grip that the two men had on Tong Nan.

While Murong Yunxi’s strength was not great, she had a stern, vicious expression on her face at the moment. The two men could not help but feel slightly guilty and she easily pried their hands loose.

Tong Nan instantly gained her freedom and gave Wu Qingmei a slap on her face. “Your man is indecent, but you simply came to accuse others of being a mistress. With your man’s calibre, who will take a fancy of him?”

Murong Yun watched as Tong Nan retaliated. She did not go forward to stop her from fighting and immediately took out her cellphone to give Fourth a call. She simply whispered a few instructions and hung up the phone.

Ultimately, she and Tong Nan were both women and while she learned a few moves recently, she knew that she was currently not very powerful. It emboldened her heart after she called Fourth and the others.

Wu Qingmei was not one to be trifled with. Since she had been slapped by Tong Nan, she was instantly fired up like a cockerel. She jumped on her feet and wanted to beat Tong Nan. Tong Nan had suffered quite a beating from her already, and her belly was already full of repressed grievances. She currently snagged an opportunity to fight back, and would naturally not let her off.

Wu Qingmei noticed that she was starting to be on the losing end and so, she began to swear at Murong Yunxi, “Where the fuck did you pop out from, you wild hussy? How dare you meddle in other people’s affairs? Since you stepped out to help this slut, you are probably nothing good either. You’re a slut just like her.”

As Murong Yunxi was scolded out of the blue, she was extremely pissed in her heart and instantly wanted to step forward to beat Wu Qingmei. Murong Lanxi and Wu Qingmei were good sisters and she naturally had to stand on the side of Wu Qingmei, so she went forward to pull Murong Yunxi. “Xiao Xi, she is my friend. Could you not get involved in this on my account? This is a domestic issue, we shouldn’t meddle in their affairs.”

Murong Yunxi waved Murong Lanxi away. “Aunt, I cannot sit and watch someone bully my friend like that. I understand Xiao Nan’s personality. She definitely would not do a disgraceful thing like this. This woman is accusing people indiscriminately. How could I let my friend get the short end of the stick?”

“Oh, Xiao Xi, you are really innocent. The human heart is not so easy to read. You have been fooled by the appearance of your friend. She has evidence for this!”

“I believe in my friend.”

After Murong Yunxi said this, she stopped debating with Murong Lanxi and stepped forward to continue helping Tong Nan.

Wu Qingmei seemed to be increasingly disadvantaged and she shouted at the two bodyguards who stood and watched dumbly from the sidelines, “Are you two fools? Don’t you know how to step forward to help when your master is bullied?”

The two bodyguards exchanged a look and just when they were about to come forward to help, Murong Yunxi quickly blocked in front of them. There was a sharp, chilling glow in her eyes and her entire face was as cold as frost.

Recently, beyond learning a few moves, Murong Yunxi also learned ninety per cent of the vicious aura and the horrifying chill of Murong Ye and Gong Yu. That look truly made the two bodyguards uncertain.

When Wu Qingmei saw that the two men were not moving, she continued to curse, “I truly raised your group of dogs in vain. You became weak and incapable during such a critical moment. Are you still men if you do not even dare to make a move on a woman?”

The two bodyguards immediately went for Murong Yunxi. Murong Yunxi’s strength could not match up to the two of them, but after the training that she underwent during that period of time, she still had some upper hand when it came to agility. She ducked and made use of the opportunity to sneak a surprise attack on the two men. While Murong Yunxi did not have her way, but the two men suffered losses over and over again under her.

However, as Murong Yunxi’s moves were not fatal, she quickly became disadvantaged.

At that moment, Fourth rushed over with a few men. When he saw that Murong Yunxi was fighting with someone, his face darkened in an instant and he was the first to dash over.

What kind of person was Fourth? Within a few moves, the two men were well put in place. Wu Qingmei also did not gain a slight bit of benefit on Tong Nan’s end and was, instead, beaten by Tong Nan many times.

When Fourth and the others arrived, there was no business left for Murong Yunxi. She pulled Tong Nan over and draped her coat over her body before she took her and left.

Ultimately, Tong Nan was also considered to be a public figure and she recently gained some fame in the modelling industry. If she was photographed and the event disseminated as news, she would probably be a popular figure for tomorrow’s headline news.

Tong Nan reached her current stage by her own efforts and it had not been easy. She could not ruin her future over such news.

When Murong Lanxi saw Murong Yunxi leave like that, she hurried forward to stop her. “Xiao Xi, look at Qingmei… Could you get those people to spare her…?”

Murong Lanxi did not know what position she should use to plead with Murong Yunxi, since she should have stood on Murong Yunxi’s side. But now, she could not sit and let them put Wu Qingmei in place.

Murong Yunxi looked at Murong Lanxi indifferently; even her tone of voice was so nonchalant that it sounded slightly cold. “Aunt, you must look at their character when you make friends. People who are so uncultured like that are not worthy of a close friendship.”

After she said that, she dragged Tong Nan and left.

However, Murong Yunxi did not anticipate the arrival of what she was afraid of.
