Chapter 245: Angry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I still hope that Miss Xia will never need my help. You know that I’m a detective. Without a murder, I won’t get involved easily.”
Feng Jing’s words made Yin Tao choke on her steak. It was rare to see someone speak so directly like him these days.
Yin Tao stole a glance at Xia Ru, who was also stunned. She didn’t expect her gaze to meet hers.
“This is?’ Xia Ru’s gaze was somewhat impolite. Her attitude toward Yin Tao was the complete opposite of her attitude toward Feng Jing.
Yin Tao didn’t know how to introduce herself. After all, she was still near the Wan Corporation. There were also a few familiar faces in the restaurant just now.
Yin Tao knew that the woman in front of her must have misunderstood her relationship with Feng Jing. However, Yin Tao was afraid that her identity as a police officer would be exposed, so she didn’t dare to say that she was Feng Jing’s colleague.
‘Why? Is my question too complicated?”
Seeing that Yin Tao didn’t say anything and Feng Jing didn’t have any intention of defending her, Xia Ru became even more brazen and her attitude became even more brash. “It’s my fault for not thinking things through. After all, some people’s position may be awkward.”
Yin Tao really wanted to retort, but because the venue wasn’t suitable, she could only suppress the anger in her heart.
Yin Tao was trying her best to control her emotions when she heard a cold male voice from the other side.
‘What’s so embarrassing about my girlfriend’s position?” Feng Jing’s tone was cold. It was obvious that he was already very angry.
Xia Ru was speechless for a moment. She didn’t expect Feng Jing to defend this woman directly. Usually, her father wouldn’t fall out with his family and friends for the sake of those women outside.
Le Yuan didn’t expect Feng Jing to state upfront that Yin Tao was his girlfriend. Moreover, he was visibly upset. With Le Yuan’s understanding of Feng Jing, she could tell that he was already running out of patience.
“I’m sorry, Feng Jing. Xiaoru is straightforward. She doesn ‘t mean anything else.” Le Yuan hurriedly explained to Feng Jing, afraid that he would hate her because of Xia Ru.
“I’m not the one who is owed an apology.” Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao as if he was concerned if she was upset.
Le Yuan was furious, but she didn’t dare to flare up. After all, her relationship with Feng Jing was not close enough for her to interfere in his girlfriend-hunting. With her status, it was not appropriate for her to say anything about this.
“I’m sorry, I really didn’t have any other intentions.” Xia Ru also re-examined
Yin Tao and felt that she had underestimated this woman.
Even though she didn’t say anything, Feng Jing’s eyes were fixed on her.
“It’s nothing.”
Yin Tao didn’t know how she should respond to Feng Jing’s words. Although she knew that Feng Jing was standing up for her, she still wasn’t used to being called Feng Jing’s girlfriend.
Yin Tao buried her head in her food like an ostrich and no longer paid attention to Le Yuan and Xia Ru’s gazes.
Xia Ru had no intention of letting Yin Tao off the hook. She was not as agitated as Le Yuan. At the end of the day, Feng Jing was still a normal man. Sooner or later, there would be a day when the novelty would wear off.
“Brother Feng, I heard from Sister Yuanyuan that you’ll be coming home for your birthday at the beginning of next month. I might not be able to make it back in time, but I’ll definitely prepare a big gift for you.” Xia Ru acted as if she was familiar with him and had no intention of leaving.
“No need. The birthday banquet is my grandfather’s idea. I don’t have any plans to celebrate my birthday.” Feng Jing rejected Xiaoru’s attempt to ingratiate herself to him.
“Grandpa Feng’s intentions are also very important. If you don’t care, why would you hold a birthday banquet obediently every year?’
Xia Ru was very happy that Feng Jing had mentioned Grandpa Feng. With a disapproving expression, she asked Yin Tao, “Beauty, are you a local of City A? You’ll also return to the capital for Brother Feng’s birthday, right?”
Yin Tao awkwardly smiled. She really wanted to be left alone, but Xia Ru was clearly looking for trouble with her.
“I think so.” Yin Tao recalled that Feng Jing’s Auntie, Feng Ya, had asked her to go to Feng Jing’s home together.
“Is that so?” Xia Ru chuckled, clearly not believing her. ‘Then you have to pay more attention. The Feng family is not an ordinary family. There are many rules. Don’t make a fool of yourselfwhen the time comes.”
Xia Ru didn’t believe that Feng Jing would bring this young girl home. If he really wanted to publicize his relationship with this girl, it was impossible for his friends in the circle not to know about it.
Although Feng Jing didn’t like to socialize, he was very famous in the capital’s circle. No one had heard that he had such a young girlfriend..
