Gong Zeli was furious. “I’m here for a meal with a friend.”
Shen Rou pursed her lips and then said, “Ze Li, let go of me. It was indeed my fault for misunderstanding Mianmian’s brother. It’s only right that I make an apology onstage.”
Gong Zeli’s eyes were directed to Qiao Mianmian. “Even if you really were in the wrong, wouldn’t a personal apology be enough? Why the need to do it on stage? This isn’t an apology, it’s humiliation.”
“I want to know who suggested you do this.”
Shen Rou glanced at Qiao Mianmian but did not say a word.
“So, it’s you.” Gong Zeli’s gaze hardened as he looked at Qiao Mianmian. He didn’t attempt to hide his despising for her. “I just knew that this woman wasn’t so simple. You were scheming enough to get Ah Si to marry you so quickly, and now you’re here sabotaging our friendship. What exactly are you after?
“Qiao Mianmian, you really think that I don’t dare to touch you just because Ah Si is on your side?”
He’d just said this when Mo Yesi sent a punch to his face.
It was a hard one, sending Gong Zeli to the ground.
“Ah!” Shen Rou shrieked and quickly helped Gong Zeli up. When she saw how swollen his eye was, she looked up at Mo Yesi incredulously. “Ah Si, you actually hit Ze Li? How could you do this?”
Mo Yesi’s eyes went cold as well. “Qiao Mianmian is my wife. If you’re thinking of laying a finger on her, then I’ll have to act first.”
He directed this at Gong Zeli.
Gong Zeli held one hand to his swollen eye as he staggered to his feet.
He was a handsome man.
Charming with some coldness and glamor.
But at this point, he looked rather pathetic.
The rich man’s looks were completely ruined.
Mo Yesi didn’t hold back.
Gong Zeli had disrespected Qiao Mianmian time and again in front of him. When he went overboard with his words this time, Mo Yesi already lost a buddy.
His buddy would never act like such a jerk.
So what if they had a decade-long friendship?
Nobody could bully the precious girl that Mo Yesi himself wouldn’t even hurt a bit.
Not even his closest friends.
Moreover, if Gong Zeli was able to find trouble with Qiao Mianmian even with him around, how badly would he treat her if he wasn’t present?
If he didn’t teach him a lesson, he would only get worse from here on.
Mo Yesi didn’t regret this punch at all. In fact, he wouldn’t mind punching Gong Zeli on the face a few more times to teach him some manners.
Gong Zeli wasn’t any less astonished than Shen Rou.
He was slightly dazed from the sudden punch and only regained his senses after a while.
The pain in his eye reminded him that Mo Yesi really punched him.
The four buddies had known each other since they were young, and he only joined the “Four Man Gang” later. Even so, he’d known Mo Yesi for a full 15 years.
Their 15 years of friendship was a pretty solid one.
They weren’t biological brothers, but they were practically as close as they could be.
They were all boys back then and grew up with fights and arguments. This wasn’t the first time he and Mo Yesi got rough with each other.
But it was different.
This time was different from all the other times.
