Chapter 80: Shaming Xi Mubai
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Luo Zheng’s attitude was harsh while Xi Mubai felt rather embarrassed and the only thing he could do was to respond with silence.
In his heart, he simply thought of Luo Zheng as ‘boorish’, a new label that he had given her.
She was a girl and yet she cursed so crudely. He truly disliked it and initially wanted to just ignore her.
However, the pain on his face reminded him that he had just been slapped by a girl for the first time in his life and to make matters worse, the girl was Luo Zheng. He could not calm down at all.
After staying silent for a few seconds, he reminded her, “Luo Zheng, you slapped me. Are you just going to let it slip like this?”
Upon hearing his words, Luo Zheng stared at him coldly and sneered, “So? Would you like to slap me back? I’m telling you, you may dream on!”
Mu Nianqing had yet to appear and the Xi Family has not faced their downfall yet. It was only the beginning of her revenge on him… Slapping him was barely enough to cover the interest of what he had to pay her back. Does he still think he’s at a loss?
“Luo Zheng, do you think we’re the same?”
Xi Mubai sized her up with a complicated expression, and felt that she was truly different from what she used to be like in the past.
Although he did feel humiliated to have been slapped by her… he couldn’t bring himself to slap her back!
“Senior Mubai, you’re morally upright, lofty, gentlemanly, gentle, mellow and kind. Of course we’re not the same! So, Senior Mubai, why are you still refusing to let go of me, if you’re not planning to slap me back?”
Luo Zheng calculated the time she had left and thought to herself in dejection that Bo Hancheng may have already left Capital University.
Of course, if she doesn’t end up seeing Bo Hancheng, Xi Mubai would be the ultimate culprit… in that case, she ought to make him pay the price!
He thinks I’m humiliating him, isn’t he? Hah, I shall let him know what humiliation really is!
Xi Mubai tensed up and he began to feel rather flustered.
What could he possibly want from Luo Zheng?
He simply felt that he couldn’t let her leave after slapping him!
“Oh, I get what you mean, Senior Mubai.”
Luo Zheng cocked her head towards the side and smiled at Xi Mubai, seemingly having thought of something.
She then lowered her head and flipped through her purse.
She was undeniably beautiful, dressed in red without the heavy makeup.
Xi Mubai’s heart actually skipped a beat.
As far as looks were concerned, she was really beautiful and nowhere inferior to Luo Tingxue. Even if she was only 17 years old and her features had yet to fully develop, he could already imagine how stunningly gorgeous she should be in the future. He was certain that she would attract the attention of many men.
At this moment, it was raining and Luo Zheng was drenched from head to toe, causing her dress to be stuck against her skin. Xi Mubai looked at her before turning away with an awkward expression.
However, she looked a little pale because of the rain.
He somehow found her to be pitiful.
Xi Mubai grew a little soft-hearted and tipped his umbrella towards her to give her some shelter.
However, at this moment, Luo Zheng pulled out her wallet from her bag, and then took out a few dollar bills which she then handed to Xi Mubai. “Senior Mubai, is this enough?”
Xi Mubai froze and he asked embarrassedly, “Luo Zheng, what do you mean?”
“I accidentally hit you just now, Senior Mubai! However, I don’t really want to apologize, so… I can only make it up to you in such a manner! A few hundred yuan… should be enough, right?”
As soon as Luo Zheng spoke, Xi Mubai’s face grew sullen.
He felt mocked and humiliated by Luo Zheng whom he had just taken pity on!
“What’s the matter, Senior Mubai? Do you think it’s too little? I only have that much cash! Why don’t you tell me your bank account number and the amount that you want me to compensate? I’ll transfer it to you! Of course, please don’t quote me a sky-high price that I can’t afford… ”
