Chapter 96: Scumbag
Ye Fei's actions were extremely coarse, even brutish.
Any man, a normal man who truly loved Liu Manman, ought to have pushed Ye Fei back and fought him.
Because this was about the dignity of a man.
A man’s dignity could not be surrendered so easily.
Moreover, just a short while earlier, when Ye Fei was staring at him by the door of the toilet, Su Di wanted to fight with him.
Now, being so insulted, Su Di should have summoned up the courage to confront Ye Fei.
This was the chance Ye Fei gave him. As soon as Su Di resisted, he would let him go.
But...
Su Di's performance was quite disappointing.
He was so weak, he could only look at the floor as he softly said, "So you’re Manman's boyfriend? I must call you brother-in-law, then"
His words stabbed deeply into Liu Manman’s heart like a steel needle. She never thought he was so craven.
"Su Di... You... Ye Fei, you bastard, let him go!"
Liu Manman's attention was still on Ye Fei. She thought he was so rough that Su Di was just too afraid to confront him.
After all, in her view, Su Di was just a college student who had never dealt with thugs.
Ye Fei didn't let him go, still tightly clutching Su Di's collar. His other hand was clenched, as if in the next moment he would punch Su Di's shameless face.
Seeing Ye Fei wasn’t going to let him go, Liu Manman ran up to him and clamped her teeth down on his shoulder as hard as she could, ripping off a piece of skin.
Blood immediately gushed out, staining Ye Fei's shirt dark red.
"Oww!"
He turned his head to look at Liu Manman and saw her teeth were covered in blood. It seemed her teeth were hurt too.
She was like a wild beast, showing him her fangs.
Ye Fei's hand loosened somewhat, allowing Su Di, like a slippery loach, to make a run for the door, not even glancing in Liu Manman’s direction.
"Su Di, wait!" Liu Manman ran after him, but he was too fast and she couldn’t catch up.
"Ye Fei, you bastard! Who is my boyfriend?! You..." Liu Manman stood crying in the doorway, crystal tears glistening on her cheeks.
Ye Fei was silent. He did not want to explain. If Liu Manman knew the truth, he was afraid she might start having suicidal thoughts.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Lin Qingwan roared into his ear. "Why do you act out like this when you’re drunk?! You... You bastard!"
"Ye Fei... What's wrong with you?” Murong shook her head. “Today is Manman's birthday, why did you do that?"
"That... That’s really bad,” Chu Mo added in a small voice. “Even if you like Manman, this rough way is really not right."
Only the nurse, Mu Cheng, did not say anything. She opened a bottle of wine and asked a passing waiter for a clean towel. After sterilizing the bite for Ye Fei, she helped him bind up the wound.
But in her eyes there was nothing but disappointment.
With the support of her friends, Liu Manman was emboldened. She stepped forward and suddenly lifted up her slender hand to slap Ye Fei.
The sound of a slap did not ring out. Ye Fei grabbed her wrist in midair and coldly said, "What? You want to slap your man? Sorry, I don't have a fetish for being hit by women."
Liu Manman burst into tears again.
She wailed so loudly that a few guests walked out of neighboring rooms to see what was happening and glared scornfully at Ye Fei.
"Scumbag!"
"Jackass!"
A plethora of vicious words were hurled at him.
Ye Fei glared back at them and the look in his eyes, like a keenly honed knife, made the onlookers too scared to make a sound.
"Ye Fei, you are a real asshole today!" Lin Qingwan stuck her finger at Ye Fei's nose, so angry her body was trembling, "I will... I will deduct your salary. No... I'm going to fire you, you scumbag!"
"An asshole? There’s a much bigger asshole around."
Ye Fei looked to Murong and Mu Cheng. "You two, take Liu Manman back home and watch her, don't let her do something stupid."
Ye Fei now knew the nurse, Mu Cheng, was the most reliable person among these four women. Perhaps because her character was affected by her work at the hospital, being accustomed to seeing life and death, she was much calmer and more composed than Murong.
Murong and Mu Cheng were surprised, but still nodded.
"Professor Chu Mo and Manager Lin, you two come with me," Ye Fei commanded.
Lin Qingwan was confused, but seeing his sober and serious look, she coldly hummed, "What are you thinking?"
Murong and Mu Cheng supported Liu Manman and called a taxi to take them back to the apartment.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei led Chu Mo and Lin Qingwan to the car and asked, "Did Liu Manman ever say where Su Di lived?"
Lin Qingwan shook her head.
Chu Mo frowned in thought. "Manman mentioned something.. She helped Su Di move into a place near Shanghai University. At the time I wondered why a college student did not live in the dormitory, but Manman said Su Di wanted to have a clean space; he did not like living in the dormitory."
"Do you remember the exact address?" Ye Fei asked.
Chu Mo thought for a while and nodded, "Yes."
