Chapter 336: You Scared Her

Jiang Siyong stood silently for a moment.

“If we don’t want to go, how are you going to force us?” Qin Muye said coldly.

“If Miss Qin doesn’t want to go, of course I won’t force you.” Jiang Siyong laughed. “I just want to treat Tan Mo to a meal.”

“I am with Tan Mo. Forcing Tan Mo means forcing me too.” Qin Muye made the logical connection.

Jiang Siyong looked at her.

Then Ming Yeqing said coldly, “If we just look on as you force Tan Mo to go with you, then what use are we as friends?”

“You are being so unreasonable. You like me, so you decide to try asking me out. Must I accept you? Must I allow you to hara.s.s me like this?” Tan Mo’s voice was soft.

“You stood here and asked me out in front of this huge crowd and tried to force me to say yes. Good thing that the students here are reasonable people, because they didn’t urge me to agree to go with you,” Tan Mo said.

Whether the students watching them knew what Jiang Siyong had in mind, now that Tan Mo had said that, it seemed as if they were smart and reasonable people.

Those who hadn’t urged her felt relieved that they hadn’t gotten involved.

“People who propose on the street or ask someone out in front of a huge crowd, they very likely would know each other well. Even if they didn’t plan on agreeing, in order to prevent embarra.s.sing the other person, they would agree in public and discuss it later in private. But I don’t know you well, and you don’t know me well. Why should I be afraid of embarra.s.sing you? What does your embarra.s.sment have to do with me?

“You didn’t even consider my stress. You are trying to force me. I said no to you, and now you won’t let me leave. You are the one who is unreasonable, so how can you blame me?” Tan Mo said. “Someone like you isn’t fit to be my boyfriend. I won’t even let you come any closer to me.”

She had seen right through him the whole time.

“That’s right. Tan Mo is right.”

“I’ve been surprised the whole time. I didn’t even think about that.”

“Tan Mo didn’t even know him before. And he just suddenly came up to her in public. That isn’t the proper way to ask someone out.”

The crowd thought Tan Mo was the one who was right, and they all started taking her side, disapproving of Jiang Siyong.

Jiang Siyong looked upset. He was thinking about the right way to react.

He was supposed to have had the higher hand. He’d thought that Tan Mo was just a little girl, a girl who had never been in a relations.h.i.+p before, so easy to trick and easy to ask out.

Who knew that the meeting today would turn out to be his waterloo.

Suddenly, the crowd exclaimed in shock.

They all had surprised looks on their faces.

They all had heard an emergency brake screeching behind them.

Then they heard a loud thud.

BAM!

It sounded like a huge fireworks.

And the sound was right behind them…very, very close.

Before he turned his head to take a look at what had happened, Jiang Siyong had a foreboding feeling.

He cowered unconsciously.

At the same time, Ming Yeqing pulled Tan Mo and Qin Muye over to the side, away from Jiang Siyong.

Jiang Siyong turned around.

He saw a Maybach GLS ram into his car.

The black Maybach was an SUV, extremely st.u.r.dy. It looked as if it could run right over his tiny car.

The SUV hadn’t run over his car.

But his car was badly smashed up.

The rear of his car was dented so badly that it now looked like something found in a sc.r.a.pyard.

Of course, the SUV wasn’t much better off. Its front end was destroyed.

But overall, the SUV was in much better condition than his car.

Jiang Siyong didn’t continue blocking Tan Mo. He ran toward the black SUV.

He was just about to pound on the side window.

Before his hands came down on the window, the door opened.

Wei Zhiqian got down from the car.

Jiang Siyong’s hand hovered in midair, and his face changed immediately. He said in a questioning tone, “Wei…Wei Zhiqian?”

“Wei Zhiqian!” Tan Mo called happily and ran toward him.

When she got close to Jiang Siyong, maybe out of fear or out of disgust, or maybe both, she made a huge circle around him and approached Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian gave Jiang Siyong an ice-cold stare.

“Do you see that you scared her?” Wei Zhiqian asked angrily.

Jiang Siyong was silent: “…”

Wtf?

‘Just a short while ago when she was arguing with him, she was obviously not afraid at all.’

‘You are telling me that I scared her?’

He looked over and saw that Tan Mo was hiding behind Wei Zhiqian with a scared look on her face.

Jiang Siyong didn’t know how to explain.

“I really didn’t scare her…” Jiang Siyong tried to explain himself. “She wasn’t like this just a little while ago!”

He wasn’t expecting Tan Mo to have two different faces—one in front of him and a completely different one in front of Wei Zhiqian.

“You didn’t scare her? If you didn’t scare her, then why did she just make a huge circle around you?” Wei Zhiqian asked angrily.

Look how much he scared her… Now she is hiding behind him.

Even Qin Muye thought to herself that Wei Zhiqian was extremely biased.

In her opinion, Jiang Siyong was more afraid than Tan Mo right now.

Wei Zhiqian turned and asked Tan Mo, “What is he here for?”

He didn’t show his power as head of household often.

So not a lot of people knew what he was capable of.

Even within the Wei Household, those in the household knew that the head of household was powerful, but they didn’t know to what extent. He hid that in order to prevent someone from using that information to scheme against him.

“He said that he wants to ask me out, and he gave me flowers. He said that he would give me whatever I wanted,” Tan Mo said.

She had someone backing her up now so she could say whatever she wanted.

“I said no, I didn’t like him, and I don’t plan on getting to know him better. But then he wouldn’t let me go. He said he wanted to treat me to lunch, because our households are business partners. He said that I should not embarra.s.s him. By saying no to him, I am embarra.s.sing him.” Tan Mo pouted.

“Who do you think you are? What gives you the confidence to ask her out?” Wei Zhiqian asked coldly. “Mo Mo is not in your league. You want to ask her out? You are too confident for your own good.” Wei Zhiqian looked around and spoke as if speaking to everyone there. “If you want to ask Mo Mo out, you have to pa.s.s by me first. You can only ask her out if I think you are good enough for her.”

Who knew if someone in the crowd wanted to ask Tan Mo out?

Even if there weren’t any in the crowd, there were probably some in her cla.s.ses. After all, Mo Mo was a very likeable girl.

By speaking to everyone here, soon everyone at school would know. If they wanted to ask Mo Mo out, they would have to go through him first.

“Otherwise that will create too much of a ha.s.sle for Mo Mo. If everyone who liked her did what you just did, then that would take up too much of her time, and her time is precious,” Wei Zhiqian said impatiently.
