Chapter 298: Chapter 0298: He is Doomed to Fail
In the hall, Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji were chatting and laughing, blissfully unaware that trouble had already descended upon them silently!
Neither of them mentioned anything about Mu Tiange and Su Guyan nor did they talk about Xu Mingzhe, their conversation was simply catching up, chatting about trivial topics from all over!
At the same time, the man sent by Xu Mingzhe looked around, then called over a woman. After whispering a few words in her ear, he sent her off to handle some task while he himself leaned against the wall, munching on an apple.
Before long, Mu Rulin, sporting an English-style appearance, slowly made his way into the hall, and a woman was following beside him.
This woman was none other than the one the man had called over earlier.
After seeing this scene, the man bit into his apple and muttered, "Should we call out the young master now?"
"Forget it, let’s wait a bit more, it hasn’t started yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man took out a cigarette from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, lit it, and started to smoke lightly.
However, his gaze remained fixed on Mu Rulin.
Mu Rulin, with his arm around the woman’s shoulder, was completely filled with a broad smile, while the woman in his arms looked gleeful, occasionally touching Mu Rulin with her arms gently but deliberately.
The next moment, the woman and Mu Rulin walked toward one side.
The direction they headed was not any other place, but precisely where Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji were.
The woman snuggled up to Mu Rulin like a bird leaning against a person, appearing to be Mu Rulin’s companion.
At this moment, all of Mu Rulin’s attention was on this woman, his eyes filled with her image, completely overlooking Ye Xunhuan beside them.
And Ye Xunhuan?
Since he was sitting with his back to Mu Rulin, he also did not notice that Mu Rulin was heading in his direction.
In an instant, Mu Rulin and the woman arrived by the side of Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji!
The woman stretched out her hand and gently poked Mu Rulin’s chest, "Mu, you’re so bad!"
"Aren’t you quite coquettish as well?"
With that, Mu Rulin abruptly pulled the woman tightly into his embrace.
Caught off guard by Mu Rulin’s sudden embrace, the woman seemed to be startled, as her right hand opened abruptly and the wine glass in her hand fell straight down, aiming right for Ye Xunhuan’s head!
If the glass were to hit Ye Xunhuan’s head, even if it didn’t break, the red wine inside would splash all over Ye Xunhuan!
Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan, sitting on the sofa as if sensing something, raised his right hand almost instinctively, made a clawing gesture, and caught the falling wine glass in his hand.
Upon witnessing this, Chu Ji was slightly taken aback, her eyes widened in surprise, but then, as she came back to her senses, she immediately turned to look behind her.
She saw Mu Rulin and the woman already embraced in each other’s arms.
After seeing this, Chu Ji couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Is that your wine glass...?"
Startled by Chu Ji’s words, Mu Rulin slowly released the woman, a flash of anger crossed his face, but it disappeared instantly when he saw Chu Ji!
"Beauty, what seems to be the problem?"
"This is your glass, isn’t it?" Ye Xunhuan, who now also saw Mu Rulin, slowly stood up, holding the recently caught wine glass and spoke.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Mu Rulin’s expression darkened instantly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his mind involuntarily recalled the humiliation he had suffered at Ye Xunhuan’s hands, as well as the scene where he had been captured and tortured!
Instantly, the fire of rage in his heart was ignited!
"Oh, if it isn’t Mu himself," Ye Xunhuan said as if he had just recognized Mu Rulin, speaking cheerfully, "Mu, you’re being affectionate, that’s none of my business, but if it affects others, it might not be so good, right?"
"Sir, my apologies, the glass is mine, I didn’t hold it properly..." the woman quickly said, her face apologetic.
Ye Xunhuan smiled, "It’s okay, just be more careful from now on, here you go!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan directly handed the wine glass to the woman.
After receiving the wine glass, the woman quickly thanked Ye Xunhuan.
"Mu Rulin, what are you staring at me for? I’m telling you, I don’t like men."
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Mu Rulin, with a somewhat deep voice, said, "I don’t like men either. I just didn’t expect to run into you here!"
"This means we are fated to meet!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Don’t you think so?"
"Indeed, we are fated!" Mu Rulin emphasized the words "we are fated" heavily.
"Hey, you haven’t apologized to us yet!" Chu Ji immediately said in a cold voice.
Before Mu Rulin could speak, Ye Xunhuan said, "Forget it, forget it, it’s not a big deal. Mu Rulin and this beauty just need to be more careful next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan pulled Chu Ji down to take a seat.
Seeing that Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much more, Mu Rulin didn’t say anything either but let out a heavy snort and left the place with the woman.
"Ye Xunhuan, this isn’t like you. You..."
Ye Xunhuan smiled and said, "Come on, class leader, you’re in your twenties, how is it that you’re still as brainless as when you were in your teens?"
"Could it really all be grown on your chest?"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze fell upon Chu Ji’s impressive Saintess Peak.
"You..."
"Don’t you think this is quite a coincidence?"
"Coincidence?"
"I’ve beaten up that guy before," Ye Xunhuan said nonchalantly. "And not lightly at that. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"
"He did it on purpose?"
Ye Xunhuan helplessly patted his forehead, "Big sister, can we use our brains a bit more?"
"So what are you saying it is?"
"If the wine glass had really fallen on my head, what do you think would happen?"
"You definitely can’t tolerate it, with so many people here!" Chu Ji said without hesitation.
"So, wouldn’t I be in conflict with him again?"
"For sure!"
"Then tell me, who would benefit from this?" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently. "And didn’t you notice? From beginning to end, there wasn’t a trace of panic in the eyes of the woman by Mu Rulin’s side, did you?"
"You know anyone who can come here is a person of status, right?"
"But her glass fell, almost landed on me, and she was not at all flustered. Do you think that’s normal?" 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"You mean..."
"Someone wants to use the past conflict between me and Mu Rulin to make us have another go," Ye Xunhuan said noncommittally. "Too bad, they’re destined to fail!"
As he spoke, the image of Xu Mingzhe flashed through Ye Xunhuan’s mind.
Is that all you’re capable of?
