Chapter 263: Chapter 273: Truly, self-inflicted harm is inescapable.
Li Manman was laughing so hard she was almost out of breath, and couldn’t help but clap and cheer: "A vile spawn from a vile woman, why can’t you all just live peacefully? Now you’ve provoked our Xiao Xi, and got beaten up. You even have to go to the cemetery to apologize and kowtow to my aunt. Truly, one digs one’s own grave."
Zhang Min and Han Yaxin were livid, but they dared not say anything more, and could only slink away from the restaurant.
Lu Jinghan held Han Xi’s hand and sat down at the table: "Next time something like this happens, you shouldn’t rush in like that. What if you get hurt?"
Han Xi raised her hand and gently smoothed the slight frown on Lu Jinghan’s brow with her elegant fingertips: "Got it, it won’t happen again next time."
Li Manman covered her mouth and coughed lightly, indicating she had enough of this public display of affection.
"There’s a living, breathing person sitting here, can you two tone it down a bit?"
Han Xi blushed slightly and glared at Li Manman, suddenly remembering the situation with Han Guanghong’s company: "Jinghan, did you give them ten million?"
"Mm."
"Don’t give them money again in the future. They don’t know gratitude; they’ll just think it’s their right."
"Alright, I understand."
Lu Jinghan smiled faintly, brushing Han Xi’s hair, and picked up the chopsticks on the table: "I’ll eat with you all."
Seeing Lu Jinghan had been out for a long time and hadn’t come back, Feng Yi thought to come out to check. As soon as he opened the door, he saw several people sitting together, eating happily and talking.
He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, tossed it into the ashtray, and strode over: "I’ve been wondering why you didn’t come back. Turns out our Little Sister-in-law is here too."
Han Xi gave Feng Yi a slight nod with a smile.
Seeing Feng Yi was like a little mouse seeing a giant bag of rice for Li Manman; she instantly stuck to him: "You stay here and eat with us too."
With his arm being held so tightly, Feng Yi couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.
"I seem to recall someone just saying to tone it down, and now she’s the one flaunting her own romance."
Han Xi laughed sweetly, unable to resist making a playful remark.
"Yeah, she was just saying that about us earlier."
Sitting beside, Lu Jinghan slowly nabbed Han Xi’s hand, making the comment sharp.
Li Manman continued sticking to Feng Yi, showing no intention of letting go: "I did say that, but that’s in the past, and this is a different moment."
Han Xi was speechless, wondering what she could do about having a thick-skinned friend.
Lu Jinghan took out his phone and called someone in the suite, saying he had something to do and wouldn’t be returning.
After the four had finished their meal, Han Xi got into Lu Jinghan’s car, and Lu Jinghan bent over to help Han Xi buckle her seatbelt before starting the car to leave.
"Jinghan, I heard the wife of the man involved with Lu Jingwei went to the hospital a few days ago and beat Lu Jingwei up. Was this... related to you?"
Actually, Han Xi had heard about it before she went to Lin City; the nurses and doctors at the hospital were gossiping about it during their breaks.
She just found it strange that after she was harassed by that old man, his wife showed up at the hospital.
Lu Jinghan kept his eyes on the road ahead, fingers lightly tapping the steering wheel: "Yes, I arranged it."
When it comes to anyone trying to bully Han Xi, Lu Jinghan is always ruthless.
Indeed, Han Xi’s guess was spot on.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the hospital entrance. Han Xi unbuckled her seatbelt and unexpectedly kissed Lu Jinghan on the corner of his mouth before getting out.
