CHAPTER 709: CHAPTER 0711: SUCH RUDENESS

Chu Ge said this with an obvious teasing tone, so Nangong Man Sha wasn’t annoyed. She smiled charmingly and with a playful lift of her lips, she said, "Is Mr. Chu truly clueless or just pretending to be? They’re not just here to see me; more people are here to see you."

Chu Ge was slightly startled and looked at her with some confusion, "Come to see me? What do you mean?"

Nangong Man Sha was the top socialite of the Capital City; any slight rumor would quickly reach her ears.

Moreover, she and Chu Ge had deliberately been photographed together on a solo date, with the intention of sparking rumors about a romantic link between them.

Therefore, the crowd outside was not only there to see her but was also curious about Chu Ge and who he really was.

They all wanted to see who had the capability to win Nangong Man Sha’s favor.

"Look at you two, I’ve been searching everywhere, and you’re here sneaking around!" Jian Chunqiu walked in with an unserious demeanor, not feeling the slightest bit like he was intruding on them.

Nangong Man Sha looked at Jian Chunqiu coyly, "Elder Jian, what are you talking about? Be careful with your words. Mr. Chu is engaged!"

Jian Chunqiu chuckled, gave Chu Ge a suggestive eyebrow raise, and said, "It’s quite impressive; the place is packed outside, the roads are all blocked. You’ve made quite a name for yourself."

Chu Ge cleared his throat and laughed, "It’s all thanks to Miss Man Sha’s blessings."

"It’s also because of Mr. Chu’s extraordinary charm."

Watching the two compliment each other, Jian Chunqiu couldn’t take it anymore, and said somewhat speechlessly, "You two should stop flattering each other. Although our opening ceremony is scheduled for ten past ten, we can’t just let the customers wait outside, can we? Shouldn’t you, as the boss, go out and say something?"

Jian Chunqiu cast a meaningful glance at Nangong Man Sha, then turned to Chu Ge, "I’ve heard that a lot of people outside are here for you, and they all have a purpose. You’ll have to hold back later; customers are God. Don’t get into a fight with them."

Chu Ge looked at him in exasperation, wondering whose side this guy was on.

Chu Ge couldn’t figure out how those outside could possibly link him with Nangong Man Sha. Right now, he didn’t have the energy to worry about that anymore. To tell the truth, he was actually feeling a bit nervous.

He had never flinched in a martial contest, yet today, facing this situation, he felt a little awkward.

It seems he really wasn’t cut out to be a leader.

Chu Ge straightened his suit, then pulled out the speech he had prepared the night before and started to read it seriously.

Meanwhile, at the main entrance, there were about a hundred people waiting.

Most of them were male, but of course, there were also a few females among them.

Especially beautiful women, they were even rarer.

And there, at the very edge of the crowd, stood a woman whose temperament and appearance could be rated as top-notch beauty.

She was dressed in a water-blue tassel skirt, with four-inch heels on her feet, and most of her delicate features were hidden behind large sunglasses.

Her arrival had attracted many envious and admiring glances from the surrounding crowd, but the woman seemed used to the attention, standing there with a cool expression, her eyes fixed on the main entrance, as if waiting for something.

Standing beside her were men who were waiting for the Gambling Stone Field to open; naturally, seeing a beauty next to them, they couldn’t help but try to strike up a conversation.

"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"

"..."

"Do you also like gambling stones?"

"..."

"Babe, I’m really good at gambling stones, how about we do it together later?"

The man was not only sleazy in appearance but also had bad breath. Mu Bingtong slightly furrowed her brows, barely perceivable, and moved a bit to the side, continuing to stare at the entrance.

Yes, this beautiful lady was indeed Mu Bingtong.

She had just landed this morning and had to admit that Chu Ge’s reputation in the Capital City had grown quite significant. A casual inquiry yielded the location of his shop.

So she took a cab there.

But by the time she arrived, it was already late. Too many people had gathered in front of the shop, and she couldn’t squeeze through, so she simply stood on the edge, quietly waiting.

She had grown accustomed to strangers hitting on her, so faced with such situations, she usually ignored them.

But the more she ignored him, the more that man wanted to chat her up, especially those males whose pride wouldn’t allow them to be disregarded. Upon seeing a beautiful woman not give them the time of day, they’d assume she was looking down on them.

At this moment, the man attempting to woo Mu Bingtong was evidently the latter type. He saw Mu Bingtong’s indifference as a personal slight and couldn’t help but spit out an insult: "Humph! Think you’re some ice queen just because you’re wearing sunglasses? Aren’t you just a cheap whore who’s been done by others!"

Mu Bingtong’s brows tightened as she looked disapprovingly at the man. His appearance was evidently that of a desperate, sedentary type, especially the trembling fat on his face due to his anger, which was particularly disgusting to behold.

Seeing that Mu Bingtong was finally responding to him, he couldn’t resist a smug raise of his eyebrows, "If you regret it now, it’s not too late. What do you say? Want to consider hanging out with me, big guy?"

Mu Bingtong regarded him with contempt, snorting lightly, "I thought people in the Capital City were all cultured and well-mannered. I didn’t expect to see such degenerates. Looking at you, it seems you’ve probably never even seen a woman."

Initially, when the man had been speaking, others around had started to notice them. At first, they thought another had made a fool of himself since Mu Bingtong didn’t respond.

But unexpectedly, the man was stubborn, escalating to outright insults. Some onlookers were ready to step in and defend Mu Bingtong.

However, they hadn’t anticipated this icy beauty to be tough herself, her retort was sharp and hit right at the core.

Mu Bingtong’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was clear to the surrounding people, immediately provoking a burst of laughter.

The fat man felt his dignity swept away, his cheeks flushing red with anger. Pointing at Mu Bingtong, he yelled, "You bitch! Don’t act so high and mighty when I’m giving you face! You should be grateful that I’m even looking at you! Do you know who I am! If you offend me, I’ll make it impossible for you to stay in the Capital City!"

The fat man said this, spewing saliva everywhere.

Mu Bingtong hastily stepped back, fearful that his spit would splash onto her.

This fat man had surmised that the woman in front of him wasn’t a local from the Capital City; after all, next to her was a suitcase with a check-in tag clearly visible. The tag read: from Shanghai to the Capital City.

She was from Shanghai, and he could tell from her words that she was not a local.

Hmph, not a local and still daring to be so rude to him! He’ll see how he deals with her in a moment!
