But just at this moment, as the figure of an uninvited guest appeared, Zhan Jiaqi’s originally pleasant smile immediately froze, looking quite unhappy, because he suddenly saw Meng Wei’Er and a strange man walking in talking and laughing. Their intimate actions filled Zhan Jiaqi’s lungs with rage.
"Hey, everyone!" Lin Mu casually greeted the surrounding girls upon entering.
A few of the girls were surprised to see Meng Wei’Er bringing a man in. That was definitely something rare, although many boys chased after Meng Wei’Er, lining up from the school’s gate to the men’s restroom, but Meng Wei’Er had never taken the initiative to acknowledge anyone, let alone make someone her boyfriend!
The girls circled around Lin Mu, sneaking a peek at him, wanting to find out what was so special about this man that even a rich lady like Meng Wei’Er would be interested in him. However, after inspecting him, they found nothing extraordinary: just the usual nose and two eyes, except he was a bit sturdier, but nothing else stood out!
Nevertheless, no matter how thick-skinned Lin Mu was, he couldn’t withstand the scrutiny of several girls staring at him. Lin Mu always felt like he was being observed like a monkey, making him feel quite uncomfortable!
"Hello, ladies!" Lin Mu grinned, greeting them once more, "If you need any help, just let me know!"
Manman patted those love-struck sisters and said, "Stop staring, people, he’s not a monkey. If you keep looking, you’re clearly not respecting Wei’Er. Be careful, Wei’Er might get jealous!"
"Manman, you rascal... I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Meng Wei’Er, pouting, clenched her little fists and angrily swung at Manman.
Manman quickly dodged and then ran around in the room full of women, which gave Lin Mu a bit of a headache watching the chaos!
Coming with Meng Wei’Er, since Meng Wei’Er was the dazzling female lead, naturally, Lin Mu was the male lead, leaving Zhan Jiaqi out in the cold. For a moment, everyone forgot about Zhan Jiaqi’s presence.
"Hey ladies, stop it now," Lin Mu said to the two lively women.
Hearing Lin Mu’s words, the two women stopped, and the second-generation heir, Zhan Jiaqi, came over looking displeased.
"Wei’Er is here, huh?" Zhan Jiaqi greeted his dream goddess with a forced smile.
Normally, Meng Wei’Er paid little attention to Zhan Jiaqi, but to provoke him a bit, she reached out and took hold of Lin Mu’s arm. Lin Mu realized it was time for him to start his improvised boyfriend act.
"Honey, who’s this brother?" Lin Mu playfully stroked Meng Wei’Er’s chin.
If anyone else dared to touch Meng Wei’Er , the wild girl would have slapped them by now. But this time, Meng Wei’Er shyly lowered her head, which shocked Zhan Jiaqi, who saw Meng Wei’Er as a goddess. Even An Man and the group of women felt astonished; this wasn’t typical of the little wildcat Meng Wei’Er!
Meng Wei’Er pointed at the man and introduced him to Lin Mu, "Oh, he’s my friend named Zhan Jiaqi!"
"Oh, a friend of Wei’Er’s, huh? Then he’s my friend too!" Lin Mu said, casually patting Zhan Jiaqi’s shoulder as if treating him like a little brother.
Standing on the side, An Man and the other girls were taken aback by Lin Mu’s brazen attitude. You must know that Zhan Jiaqi was famous as an aristocratic playboy in the social circuit, from a rich and influential family. Few dared to offend him, yet Lin Mu didn’t seem to care!
"Smack!" Zhan Jiaqi slapped Lin Mu’s hand away. To An Man and the other girls, this wasn’t surprising at all; Zhan Jiaqi had always been arrogant, impulsive, and looked down on others, not caring to show respect!
Being hit by Zhan Jiaqi didn’t anger Lin Mu. He knew it wasn’t necessary to get angry with such trash. Zhan Jiaqi was even worse than Lin Mu imagined—too childish, spoiled by his parents, used to acting tough at home, and assuming he’d be treated the same outside.
In front of outsiders, such people seem quite foolish, but many don’t find it worth mentioning. Lin Mu hadn’t planned on getting involved, but due to Meng Wei’Er, he had to.
"Ha, little brother, you’ve got quite a temper, huh?" Lin Mu sneered.
Face-to-face confrontation, Lin Mu wouldn’t give this son of a bureaucrat any face, because Zhan Jiaqi just wasn’t worth it!
Zhan Jiaqi was arrogant and couldn’t keep his cool. Without his family’s name, who knows how many times he would’ve been punched!
"Who the hell do you think you are, huh? How dare you steal this young master’s girl, with your loser parents or maybe your wild father? What makes you think you can compete with me for the girl?" Zhan Jiaqi boasted arrogantly to Lin Mu.
Shit, I never even met my dad growing up, so how do you know mine was a no-good dad? Fuming at this thought, Lin Mu’s anger surged!
*Smack!* A crisp slap landed on Zhan Jiaqi’s pretty face just as he finished talking. The slap was satisfying, leaving An Man and Meng Wei’Er stunned!
No one probably expected Lin Mu to slap Zhan Jiaqi in the face. Usually, it’s Young Master Zhan dishing out slaps, not the other way around. Lin Mu indeed was one of a kind!
Others might be afraid of Zhan Jiaqi’s family’s power, but Lin Mu couldn’t care less. This wild child had no manners, so he’d educate him a bit; otherwise, he might end up in jail someday!
The slap was so dashing; even An Man nearly cheered out loud. Although he knew Zhan Jiaqi, there was hardly any friendship, instead a bit of hate!
This slap not only flattened Zhan Jiaqi’s arrogance but also boosted Lin Mu’s presence. Meng Wei’Er, who seemed uninterested at first, gave Lin Mu a thumbs up, thinking that slap made Lin Mu look especially handsome and manly. It was super cool, utterly beyond description, leaving a massive visual impact!
And here Zhan Jiaqi had already reached the peak of his anger, spitting blood onto the ground, swearing and flailing his fists and feet at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu sneered, dealing with a small fry like Zhan Jiaqi was suicidal; he could take care of him in minutes!
Bang! Lin Mu kicked Zhan Jiaqi in the stomach. Poor Young Master Zhan let out a muffled grunt, his body curling like a shrimp and flying backward, crashing into the wall, leaving a blood-red "大" character, before slowly sliding to the ground.
