Chapter 190 - Breaking Vases and Fake Fainting
“Huh?”
This cafeteria mainly catered to celebrities and did not have many people at the moment. However it wasn’t empty either, and after hearing the commotion, they all looked toward her.
Bai Zhi spilled juice on Zhu Yu’s face!
This was headline-worthy news!
They were rumored to be seen together too; there must be more to it!
Everyone’s eyes were lit with the flame of gossip.
Zhu Yu sat frozen in his seat, covered in juice. He knew Bai Zhi had always been stubborn, but he didn’t think she would be rash enough to dump juice on him in broad daylight. He had prepared to be dismissed by Bai Zhi with a wave of her hand, but he was not ready for this.
“You’re crazy!”
Zhu Yu looked like a wet cat, screaming. This time, not only the people in the cafeteria turned their heads, but the ones walking by did as well.
Bai Zhi threw her empty cup aside and said to him coldly. “Get out.”
“What did I do to deserve this?! You better give me an explanation!” Zhu Yu broke down. He did not care about the onlookers.
He did not get lost but walked toward Bai Zhi instead.
“Let’s go.”
Su Qing Cen’s expression was also sour, but looking at the crowd of onlookers and then back at Bai Zhi, she could only restrain Bai Zhi.
“Nobody leaves until I get an explanation!”
How could Zhu Yu Let them go? He barricaded the exit.
Only once he blocked them, he felt a powerful force grasp him and felt himself uncontrollably toppling to the side. Then, he landed on the floor.
Everyone looked toward the force that shoved Zhu Yu—Meng Fan.
Meng Fan looked innocent as he put up his hands. “I… touched the vase?”
All the onlookers stifled their laughter. Of course, he was shattering a vase!
Everyone could see that Meng Fan did not use much strength to push Zhu Yu; no, it couldn’t even be considered a push. It was obvious he wanted Zhu Yu to move, and even though this chubby guy looked tall and strong, he only lightly shoved him. No matter how light Meng Fan had been, he couldn’t have shoved him over so excessively.
Zhu Yu wasn’t a weak person either, always sharing pictures of his muscles online. Could these muscles be fake?
If his muscles were fake, then the fall was fake too!
“Uhm, are you okay? Let… Let me help you up, don’t be stingy with me.”
Meng Fan quickly reached out to help Zhu Yu with frightening hand speed. The angry Zhu Yu couldn’t avoid it and before he knew it, he was clamped by an unmoving force. He couldn’t struggle even if he wanted to.
“Hey hey, wait wait! Come on, don’t faint!” After grabbing Zhu Yu’s arms, Meng Fan suddenly called out, alarmed. He then proceeded to shake him, talking frantically at the same time, “Who did this? Are you really playing me?! I’m just a student. You can’t do this to me! Everyone saw just now. I only lightly shoved you, but you fell over. Your fall wasn’t even hard, not like you hit anything; how are you unconscious?!”
Zhu Yu was utterly stunned. ‘I’m not trying to faint, okay? Please let me go. If you keep shaking me, I’ll really faint!’
Only Meng Fan’s method of shaking was quite tedious; Zhu Yu couldn’t even speak through the tremors.
The people standing on the side had seen the event happened very clearly, leaving Bai Zhi, Su Qing Cen and Bai Zhi’s manager, Ms. Sun, who lead Meng Fan over, stunned. Their faces were originally sour, but now, they were stifling a laugh.
As for the other bystanders, they were not sure what happened as it was hard to see. It was not their fault Zhu Yu was lying on the ground. Even if they were curious, Meng Fan’s tonnage would have blocked their vision anyway.
“I’ve always heard Zhu Yu was not a good character. Rumors can’t lie man.”
“Of course, why else would Bai Zhi dump juice on his face?”
“I heard the rumors about him, and Bai Zhi being a CP was spread by him. I’ve never seen someone so shamelessly try to be popular!
“Trying to latch on to Bai Zhi as soon as he saw her was just a tactic for the paparazzi to film him!”
“Bai Zhi is a hothead too! I heard Bai Zhi wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time already, but she tolerated it because they shared a company.”
“What a sh*tty person!”
“Most importantly, his acting skills suck! How could he fall over and pretend to fall when someone just bumped into him?! He’s evidently bullying the tall guy!”
“If no one paid attention, you’d really think he was pushed!”
The entertainment circle was so big. Outsiders couldn’t determine what trivial issues really happened between Bai Zhi and Zhu Yu. But those in the industry all knew what was happening. But for news like this, it was best to avoid it since there was already so much going on inside the industry. It was best to keep to themselves and stay out of other peoples’ business.
Now seeing this, they were all chuckling under their breath.
Of course, there were people with sharp eyes who always felt something was off. Especially about this tall guy.
Who was he again?
Why did he bump into Zhu Yu?
Most people in the industry would try to avoid this kind of event if they could. Nobody wanted to be a part of such a big scene.
This tall guy though had burst in right away.
He must be a friend of Bai Zhi or Su Qing Cen, right?
And it seemed like this tall guy had done so intentionally too. He was exaggerating, but his acting skills were on par.
Could it be that he was only making up the fact that Zhu Yu had fainted?
Not to mention, the people watching were all despising Zhu Yu anyways, so it was working.
He shook him twenty or so times when Bai Zhi spoke to him, “If he wants to fake unconsciousness, there’s nothing we can say. Fan, let’s go.”
“Huh? He’s faking? How can he be so mean!”
Meng Fan heard this and loosened his grip, throwing Zhu Yu on the ground. He looked at Zhu Yu with the hurt expression of a person who had just entered society and met a person with a sinister heart, full of grievance and innocence. He then disgustingly looked at Zhu Yu on the ground and frantically followed Bai Zhi and the others out.
Zhu Yu, who was still lying on the ground, felt as if his brain had completely shut down.
What was he planning to do again? How did it end up like this?!
In about a minute, Zhu Yu finally managed to stand up. He felt his sticky face. It was basically dry from all the shaking, leaving just some sugar powder left. He saw the judgemental looks on the bystanders’ faces. He could also feel how many of these judgemental looks contained disdain.
He originally wanted to blow this up, but he didn’t think Bai Zhi would inexplicably just leave.
Zhu Yu sighed. Even if they left, he couldn’t let it end like this!
“Zhu Yu!”
At this time, his manager arrived shortly after hearing Zhu Yu was in trouble. His face was even darker than Bai Zhi’s just now!
“Hahahahahaha!”
“You’re too mean!”
“That dumbass was so stunned he couldn’t even speak!”
“That’s too satisfying!”
As soon as they entered the room, Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen couldn’t contain it anymore.
Meng Fan thought to himself. This was nothing. Last time, he straight up booted the guy into the venue. At least this time, he knew who did it.
Bai Zhi’s assistant still looked worried. “How can you guys be so rash and do such a thing without thinking of the consequences!” She asked with concern.
Looking closely, she admitted defeat. Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen did not seem to care in the least.
As for Meng Fan… Ms. Sun knew who he was. With a sister like that, did he even know what fear was?
Her head was swelling!
