Chapter 11 - Possessiveness_1

After Meng Xi'er was taken away, the private room regained its previous liveliness.

Everyone was drinking and playing cards when somebody asked.

"Who was that woman just now? She looks familiar."

"She does look familiar." Someone responded, "I think she's the daughter of the previous mayor of Baisha City. I've seen her once before, looked exactly like that woman!"

At these words, everyone froze.

The fact that Meng Xi'er was pursuing Lu Yebai was known to virtually everyone in Baisha City. Even her act of running Yun Qiyan over out of jealousy had made the headlines in Baisha City news.

Was that woman just now Meng Xi'er?

Everyone glanced at each other, stealing glances at Lu Yebai.

The handsome gentleman lounged on the couch, not even batting an eyelid, as he tossed his next card into the pile.

It seemed as if he didn't know at all, the woman who had almost just been violated by another man.

If it could be said that Lu Yebai was hopelessly devoted to Yun Qiyan, then his attitude towards Meng Xi'er was the total opposite—unfeeling and cruel. He seemed entirely indifferent to the fact that a woman who had once gone to jail because of him was nearly violated by another man. Had someone not recognized Meng Xi'er, they wouldn't even know that Lu Yebai knew her.

However, with Lu Yebai looking this way, everyone relaxed and the topic of Meng Xi'er continued to be discussed.

"But speaking of which," someone chuckled lasciviously, "That Meng Xi'er is quite a looker. That face, that skin, more fair and delicate than any actress I've been with! I truly regret not touching her earlier."

"Ha-ha, do you think she's yours to touch?"

"What are you talking about? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, let alone her now..."

"Bang!"

A pile of cards abruptly slammed onto the man's face scattering everywhere, knocking over the wine glass in front of him.

The man jumped up, about to lose his temper when he saw Lu Yebai also stood up.

The man's face, previously calm, now seemed to harbor concealed anger, an invisible rage radiating from him, silencing everyone in the private room.

Lu Yebai rarely had this expression.

He was a proud man since childhood, due to his preeminent skills, he ignored everyone else. He rarely got angry, and in the many years that these people knew him, hardly anyone had seen him lose his temper. They were truly frightened.

Because when Lu Yebai gets angry, it's truly frightening.

The man who was just cracking jokes turned pale under Lu Yebai's gaze, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He didn't dare sit back down and could only remain standing.

Lu Yebai swept a nonchalant glance at the card table, "I'll leave first."

After he said these words, he paid no attention to the room's frozen atmosphere, donned his coat, and strode out.

Yun Qiyan pursed her lips slightly, feeling that Lu Yebai was a bit strange, but couldn't pinpoint it. She could only follow along and leave with him.

Once Lu Yebai left, everyone in the private room let out a sigh of relief.

"What happened to Lu today?"

Someone patted their chest in residual fear, he was scared to death!

"You're an idiot, a real fool." Someone clucked their tongue, "He was already giving you face for not getting angry when you talked disrespectfully about his woman in front of him."

"His woman? Meng Xi'er? I thought he was uninterested in her?"

"Ha. Men are possessive creatures, especially him. Even if he doesn't want her, it definitely isn't your turn to butt in."
