Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 823 - 822: This Is Not the Provincial Committee Courtyard

Mu Xiaoting was very annoyed now. She had said all that to expose Chu Ge and that little housekeeper's act, to win the bet between her and Mu Lingshan, and to see Chu Ge make a fool of himself.At this exact moment, however, she saw none of the expressions she wanted to see on Chu Ge's face, like embarrassment, irritation, or anger. Instead, this bastard was actually laughing as if he had heard a joke?

Hmph, I'd like to see how long this bastard can keep laughing!

Thinking angrily, Mu Xiaoting also gave a brilliant smile, turned to look at Mu Lingshan, who seemed anxious, and raised the corners of her mouth playfully.

"Shanshan, why don't you have any sense of humor at all? I was just joking. Why are you so serious? Look at Chu Ge, he understood and is laughing so happily?"

Chu Ge stopped laughing, "It was quite funny. But we've been talking for a while and we're all hungry. Let's drink this glass and eat."

Saying this, Chu Ge picked up the bottle of red wine, ready to pour some for Mu Xiaoting just like Ye Li did.

But before Chu Ge could tilt the bottle, Mu Xiaoting raised her hand to block him, "Chu Ge, I don't mind drinking, but... could you change my glass?"

After saying this, Mu Xiaoting deliberately glanced at the place on the glass where Ye Li had touched, and then side-eyed Ye Li's extremely embarrassed face.

Mu Lingshan became even more anxious, quickly placed her own glass in front of Mu Xiaoting, and reached out to take Mu Xiaoting's glass, "Alright, Tingting, shall we switch glasses?"

Because of that bet, Mu Xiaoting was always paying attention to Mu Lingshan. Just as Mu Lingshan reached out her hand, she preemptively picked up her glass, giving Mu Lingshan no chance to exchange glasses, and handed the glass to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge looked at Mu Xiaoting and then at the glass in her hand, his smile unchanged, "Miss Mu, I don't think that's necessary."

Mu Xiaoting was determined not to back down, "What if I say it's very necessary?"

Chu Ge nodded and reached for the glass, "Alright, I understand."

Mu Xiaoting became even more smug, thinking, after all is said and done, this bastard still has to do as she says, doesn't he?

While she was thinking this, she saw Chu Ge take the glass, move his hand to the edge of the table, and suddenly let go. The glass instantly fell to the ground.

With a "crash," it shattered into pieces. The bit of red wine that Ye Li had poured in, like a vivid blood, seeped into the cracks of the white tiles and gradually spread across the floor.

The three women at the table were all stunned, incredulous as they looked at Chu Ge. After throwing the glass, Chu Ge acted as if nothing had happened, softly smiled at Ye Li, "Eat something quickly. You seem to have lost weight again, so eat more today."

A few seconds later, the one who knew Chu Ge best, Mu Lingshan, was the first to recover. She raised her hand, pinched the bridge of her nose, and sighed with as much helplessness as possible. Bringing Mu Xiaoting here today was a huge mistake.

Upon hearing the sigh, Mu Xiaoting's gaze shifted from the glass fragments on the ground to angrily glare at Chu Ge, "What did you do?"

Chu Ge lazily turned around, "Nothing really. There are no extra glasses at home, and if you don't want to use this glass, there's nothing I can do."

Mu Xiaoting was completely enraged, slamming the table with a bang, and shot up from her seat, "You dare..."

Before Mu Xiaoting could finish, Chu Ge's gaze suddenly turned cold and he snorted heavily through his nose.

"Mu Xiaoting, I already told you calmly and politely that no matter how you treat me, I can endure it without saying a word. But you're endlessly bullying my friend, and you have the nerve to blame me for being rude to you?"

Mu Xiaoting was stunned again, almost not believing her ears. She never imagined that Chu Ge would say such harsh words. In her whole life, no one had ever dared to talk to her like this!

Not only was Mu Xiaoting stunned, Ye Li was also shocked, her mind seemed to be a mess, or perhaps completely blank.

Mu Lingshan was quite clear-headed, but just as she was about to stand up and say something, she saw Chu Ge turn his gaze to her and say in a deep voice, "This is between her and me, don't interfere."

Mu Lingshan opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. She knew Chu Ge too well. Once this guy really got angry, he was like a mad stubborn mule that wouldn't listen to anyone.

After a brief moment of shock, anger blazed in Mu Xiaoting's eyes. Her face turned even redder than Ye Li's earlier, and her eye corners twitched as she raised her trembling right hand, pointing at Chu Ge.

"You... you..."

Chu Ge slowly stood up, grabbed Mu Xiaoting's hand that was pointing at him, and pressed it down.

"Mu Xiaoting, I'm telling you, don't point and gesture at me here. This is my place, not your Provincial Committee Courtyard. If you can stay, sit down quietly and eat, if not, then get out."

"You... you..."

Mu Xiaoting's eye corners twitched even more intensely, her mind buzzing, and a surge of heat rushed to her head, feeling like she was about to explode with anger, yet she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Chu Ge had already walked up to Mu Xiaoting, looking down at her extremely angry face. After a few seconds, he smiled faintly and said, "It seems you're not planning to stay here. That's just fine, I'm tired of seeing your self-righteous face."

As he spoke, Chu Ge grabbed Mu Xiaoting's right hand and walked briskly to the door, giving her a rude push out.

Mu Xiaoting crashed into the opposite wall, and the quiet hallway immediately echoed with a dull "thud." Her body bounced off the wall, staggered a couple of steps, and then collapsed to the ground.

The sound was so harsh that even Mu Lingshan and Ye Li who had rushed over felt the pain from it. However, Mu Xiaoting seemed oblivious, merely glaring fiercely at Chu Ge with eyes filled with anger and astonishment.

Unfortunately, Chu Ge didn't even meet her gaze. After pushing her out, he bypassed Mu Lingshan and Ye Li at the door and returned directly to the room.

Mu Lingshan quickly came to Mu Xiaoting's side, checking her shoulder that had hit the wall, afraid that Chu Ge's rough action might have caused Mu Xiaoting's bones some damage.

Ye Li also went over, tense and worried, to Mu Xiaoting's side, "Miss Mu, are… are you okay? Do you need to go to the hosp…"

Before Ye Li could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoting gave her a vicious shove, "Get lost! It's all because of you! What are you doing pretending to be a good person here!"

Mu Xiaoting vented all her anger on Ye Li, pushing hard and suddenly, leaving Ye Li unprepared and stumbling back several steps.

"Ah!"

Ye Li screamed as she completely lost her balance and fell backward.

Just when she thought she would hit the ground hard, her tumbling body suddenly stopped, as a broad hand caught her small hand.

"Ye Li, are you okay?" Looking at Ye Li's still pale face beside him, Chu Ge's gaze was full of apology and heartache.

"No, I'm alright." Ye Li shook her head blankly.

Chu Ge sighed with relief. The hallway had a hard concrete floor. If he hadn't rushed over, the consequences of Ye Li falling straight on her head would have been unimaginable.

Just two seconds ago, carrying Mu Xiaoting's shoes and handbag, Chu Ge felt a bit regretful, no matter what, Mu Xiaoting was Mu Lingshan's aunt. In his anger, he doubted if he might have gone too far.

But at this very moment, Mu Xiaoting's indiscriminate attack on Ye Li like a dog biting Lu Dongbin made him dismiss those thoughts entirely.

"Ye Li, come inside, just wait for me a moment." Chu Ge helped Ye Li up, gave her a slight smile, and then tossed the things in his hand aside.

"Plop! Plop! Thud!"

Two high heels and a handbag were thrown against the wall one after the other, landing next to Mu Xiaoting.

Mu Xiaoting was almost hit by a shoe. Her body trembled slightly, and when she saw the shoe heel had snapped off, grief and anger overwhelmed her other emotions like rising tides, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

Mu Lingshan felt utterly helpless at the moment; she originally intended to see Chu Ge, have a meal with him, and ask about the Koreans she heard of from Lin Gaoze. How did things end up like this?

Mu Lingshan raised her hand intending to wipe Mu Xiaoting's tears. But as her hand reached halfway, it suddenly froze in place, followed by Chu Ge's voice in her ear.

"Ignore her, let's go back inside and continue eating."

"What's left to eat… ah…"

Mu Lingshan turned her head, trying to speak, but Chu Ge interrupted, pulling her up and briskly walking back to the room, closing the door with a "bang," leaving Mu Xiaoting outside.

"Let go, let go of me! Have you gone crazy today?"

Inside, Mu Lingshan struggled furiously and managed to pull her hand away, looking at Chu Ge incredulously, her tone full of urgency.

Chu Ge shrugged, unconcerned, and smiled, "Do you think I've gone crazy, or has she?"

Mu Lingshan was momentarily speechless, sighing with conflicted expressions, "I think you both have gone crazy! Tingting's not usually like this, sigh! It's all my fault; if it weren't for me…"

At this point, Mu Lingshan realized she almost let something slip and quickly stopped.

After all, Ye Li was still there, and she knew that Ye Li had feelings for Chu Ge. How could she mention the bet?

"Your fault?" Chu Ge was stunned, "She… bullied Ye Li, what does that have to do with you?"
