Chapter 115: A Punch for Each, Straying from the Script
A young couple, seemingly out of nowhere, stopped beside the trio. The man looked handsome and well-dressed, obviously coming from a wealthy family. However, his actions exuded restlessness, making him seem out of place.
The woman appeared young, pretty, and pure, with a sunny disposition, a graceful figure, and skin like frost, her eyes as bright as stars. Yet, she seemed impatient with the man before her.
“Xiao Han, I’m sincere about you. After all these years, can’t you see my feelings?” “Both our families want us to marry. It’s beneficial for both sides.” “Most importantly, I truly love you. You’re my fiancée.” The man insisted, pressing himself closer to the woman.
The woman, addressed as Xiao Han, flashed a hint of impatience and growled, “Shut up. I don’t recognize the engagement arranged by my parents. Go talk to them, not me.” “I’m telling you, I have a boyfriend now.”
“You have a boyfriend?” The man was shocked, then regained his composure: “Impossible. You’ve never interacted with any other men. How could you have a boyfriend?” “Alright, let’s stop arguing. It’s rare for us to be back in Magic City, let’s go see your parents.”
Xiao Han’s face showed embarrassment and anger, unsure of how to respond.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Lu Li and his companions, and her face lit up with joy. She quickly walked towards them, astonishing the man by heading straight for Lu Li. “See? My boyfriend came to pick me up. Go wherever you want!” While saying this, she attempted to link arms with Lu Li, believing that someone like her could never be refused.
Lu Li frowned and dodged the woman’s hand. He wasn’t a fool; he had seen and lived through too many such clichéd scenarios, mostly ending up as the antagonized villain. He certainly didn’t expect to encounter such a scene just after landing. This woman was actually trying to use him as a shield.
“Kid, who are you? Better back off, or you’ll face consequences you can’t handle,” the man said, glancing at the distinguished-looking Lu Li and Li Zichuan, envy flashing in his eyes. He also cast a lustful glance at You Meng behind Lu Li.
“Heh… you!” Li Zichuan was amused, hardly believing someone was actually threatening them.
Bang! Before Li Zichuan could utter another word, Lu Li took action, delivering a solid punch straight to the woman’s face. The force sent her tumbling to the ground before she could even register the pain.
The sudden turn of events left not only Xiao Han and the man stunned but also Li Zichuan and You Meng.
Lu Li casually withdrew his hand, turning to Li Zichuan with a bemused expression: “Do you know these two?”
“I’ve seen them once. The woman is Zhang Binghan from the Zhang family, and the man is Xiao Lin from the Xiao family,” Li Zichuan replied, still bewildered.
“Alright! Remember this: one threatened me, the other ogled my little maid, and the woman tried to use me. Take action against their families later, announcing my arrival in Magic City. See if they’ll help or not!” Lu Li smiled warmly, entirely ignoring the woman and the furious man on the ground.
“Pfft… you’re making a request, how could I not help? Just two small families, small businesses, I’ll arrange it,” Li Zichuan couldn’t help but laugh, feeling exceptionally good.
“Let’s go!” Lu Li nodded.
According to typical storylines, Lu Li was expected to respond to the woman’s plea, leading to a show of bravado or a dark horse triumphing over the wealthy antagonist. But sorry, Lu Li was the villain! Using the hero’s tactics on the villain was a bold move.
A punch to the delicate female lead was sure to make her cry for a long time.
Lu Li had confirmed that Zhang Binghan was one of the heroines of the story, and the man shared his villainous role. The rest… personalities, etc., well, not so important!
Just stepping stones to him. Who cares where they end up after being pushed aside?
Women like Zhang Binghan, centered on themselves with clichéd tactics, never considering the chosen ‘shield’s’ well-being, Lu Li was sure that if that woman wasn’t selected by him, or
if it wasn’t Lu Li but a regular person, would she protect him after troubles were resolved? Hah, unlikely. Just look at the man’s posture! Clearly, it was a fight to the death!
Disgusting!
Those so-called aloof and icy heroines in novels, upon reflection, are nothing but troublemakers, little princesses!
“Ah–” Finally regaining her senses, Zhang Binghan, clutching her swollen face, let out a heart-wrenching scream, her venomous gaze fixed on Lu Li and his friends.
Obviously, they had made an enemy of her, as she memorized their faces.
“Xiao Lin, teach them a lesson!” Zhang Binghan pointed at Lu Li and his friends, commanding the man.
Xiao Lin, thrilled yet furious, immediately blocked their path: “Sir, you’ve hit my girlfriend. Now she’s very angry. You must pay the price…”
Bang! Lu Li couldn’t be bothered to listen to such a standard villain’s monologue, having said too much of it himself in his previous life, making him nauseous at the sound. An already annoyed stepping stone dared to spout nonsense in front of him.
Shaking his fist, Lu Li gave Li Zichuan a look of disbelief: “Your fame isn’t enough, eh? These two don’t recognize you and even dared to threaten us.”
And they’re stupid. Li Zichuan had mentioned their names, yet they still brazenly confronted them, clueless!
“Cut it out. I’ve barely seen them, remembering their names only because my old man forced me to. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know who they are. They’re not worthy of knowing me,” Li Zichuan waved dismissively, also angered.
He couldn’t believe these two had made it this far in life.
These two weren’t even qualified to appear at a banquet at the Li residence. He remembered their names only because he knew all the rich kids, even those he didn’t cooperate with.
