Chapter 49
The Sugar Baby Rumor
“Alright, move along, everyone… Nothing to see here…” Mu Jingxing called out to everyone as he dragged Ye Hanting and Li Yifan along, away from the scene. He was the first person to respond after the incident.
He looked at Gu Xuan and Ruan Jiaojiao as he walked away from the scene.
“Mengmeng’s already taken away by her beloved, there’s nothing left to see here. Let’s go home, or else we might get choked to death by the sourness emitted from certain people!
“Mu Jingxing, what did you just say?” Gu Xuan snapped and squinted his eyes when he heard what Mu Jingxing uttered.
“What did I say? I didn’t say anything… ” Mu Jingxing shrugged. He rudely continued, “I’m not sure where this sourish smell is coming from… Though it’s pretty disgusting to me. Hmm… May it perhaps be coming off from you guys?”
When he was done, he went closer to Gu Xuan and pretended to sniff his body.
“Mu Jingxing, stop your horseplay! Why are you following Mengmeng’s nonsense? If you guys continue that way, I’ll never treat you both the same again!”
Gu Xuan used the big brother card and reproached Mu Jingxing with a disappointed look.
Mr. All Proper who smiled like a hippie previously suddenly made a dark expression.
“Gu Xuan, you’re not fooling anyone. I know very well who’s telling me nonsense around here. If you want to be blind and like someone such as Ruan Jiaojiao, that’s on you. How I treat Mengmeng is my business. Don’t muddle these two things up. Even if you took away the people around me, I didn’t give you any trouble. But let me, Mu Jingxing, say this today. If you want to find trouble with Ruan Mengmeng, you’ll have to go through me first… If you even dare to touch a single hair on her, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
Mr. All Proper was not usually this way. It was at that moment when he truly showed that mature and ruthless part of him.
However, some people are adamant about their own thinking. No matter what, they would always try and sway the public against the truth.
“Jingxing… I really envy Mengmeng for having a man like you to protect her. It seems that you love Mengmeng more than I thought.” Even though Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice was gentle and pleasant, the words were like poison.
“Oh, I see. I guess in your eyes, a person treating another person like a decent human being is considered loving someone. I suppose I should warn my dad when your mom visits my place during Chinese New Year.”
“Why you little… ”
Ruan Jiaojiao was caught off guard by Mu Jingxing’s insolent behavior. She was so mad she almost coughed up blood.
She took a deep breath and said, “Fine. Even if you won’t admit it, you still shouldn’t let your friend, Mengmeng, degrade herself that way.”
“Degrade herself?” Mu Jingxing almost thought she was mad. “When has Mengmeng been degrading herself?”
The lights in Ruan Jiaojiao’s went dim as she said with distress, “Before the day she pushed my mother down the stairs, she has already been coming back after curfew every day. If only mom didn’t scold her for the hickeys on her neck, she wouldn’t have been… ”
Ruan Jiaojiao looked as if she was in so much pain that she could not continue her sentence.
“Initially, I thought Mengmeng wanted to have fun that night because she needed to take her mind off of Big Bro Gu Xuan. But, you guys have seen what happened just now. I can’t believe that she… she would degrade herself so much to get a sugar daddy… ”
Ruan Jiaojiao choked on her words as if she really could not continue her sentence anymore.
She ran back to Gu Xuan’s arms and wrapped her arms around him. Her shoulders shook as if she was in deep sorrow.
That series of cutesy, innocent moves were completely natural to that girl diagnosed with special snowflake syndrome. Mu Jingxing could not help but stare with his jaw wide open.
‘F*ck me. Ruan Jiaojiao’s acting is getting better day by day.’
‘And on the other hand, my eyes are getting worse seeing this sh*t over and over again.’
‘Let’s not talk about what happened that night. About how Ruan Mengmeng wasn’t out degrading herself but doing the opposite. She was busy looking for Second Young Master Ruan to borrow something.
‘Let’s talk about how that emotionless handsome guy who was a hundred times better looking than Gu Xuan.
‘Don’t let anyone know that he’s actually Ruan Mengmeng’s older brother.
‘Even if he’s not.
Just from the look of him, the only possibility of an arrangement would be Ruan Mengmeng taking care of him instead!
It was too bad that Ruan Jiaojiao and Gu Xuan would forever have the upper hand in WPA.
Everyone favored them since a long time ago.
Even though the appearance of Li Junyu just now had astonished a lot of the girls.
However, a devastated teary-eyed Ruan Jiaojiao would always win over a high profile Ruan Mengmeng. Most people empathized with the weak and victimized Ruan Jiaojiao.
Nevertheless, the rumor of Ruan Mengmeng being a sugar baby spread all over WPA in merely one night.
…
At the same time, inside the speeding Maybach.
A certain someone was still stone-faced and grasped onto Ruan Mengmeng’s tiny and weak wrist. He sternly asked, “My dear… Why wasn’t I aware that we’re in this sort of relationship?”
