I Don't Want to Scare

Chapter 3: A Stormy Confrontation

Su Hua yanked the bag away with a fierce tug. The girl, despite her aggressive stance, didn't have much strength. Gu Xiaolian looked at Su Hua with a smirk that seemed like mockery to her. Clenching her teeth, Gu Xiaolian raised her hand high and swung it down hard towards Su Hua. Su Hua anticipated her move and dodged it effortlessly.

In return, she threw a gas canister.

Oops, that was a mistake.

It was actually a bowl of seafood soup.

Gu Xiaolian's head was now a colorful mess, with thick soup dripping down, which was rather endearing. The incident happened so fast that Xiao Ran didn't have time to stop it. Gu Xiaolian stood there, stunned. She had been coddled all her life and was used to getting her way. This kind of humiliation was something she had never experienced before. She let out a scream that made everyone cover their ears. The sound wave was so powerful it was almost deafening. Gu Xiaolian had quite the lung capacity, and her scream lasted a full thirty seconds. It was a sound that one would rarely hear in this world. Those who had the misfortune to witness it must have been extremely unlucky.

Su Hua quickly covered her ears, thinking that if Gu Xiaolian had initiated a sonic attack first, and then used her "pop pop pop" skills, she might not have been able to defend herself. That was a close call!

After her scream, Gu Xiaolian's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Xiao Ran. Unfortunately, Xiao Ran was still dazed by her sonic blast and didn't react for a while. Gu Xiaolian stamped her foot and cooed, "Xiao Ran." Tears hung at the corners of her eyes, threatening to fall, making her look pitiable. Xiao Ran finally snapped out of it and asked with concern, "My dear, are you okay?" Then he turned to Su Hua and said, "How could you be so vicious, woman?" His tone was filled with strong accusation.

Vicious?

After nearly a year of their relationship, it seemed that Gu Xiaolian's few complaints outweighed everything they had shared. Su Hua raised an eyebrow, realizing that she would have to be ruthless today. At the moment, she had acquired a weapon from her enemy—a bag. It was heavy, and she guessed it contained not only a phone but also various cosmetics. It was a perfect tool for a physical attack.

Without hesitation, Su Hua swung the bag around a few times and threw it at Xiao Ran with all her might. She aimed for wherever it would hurt the most; her mother wouldn't have to worry about him flirting with others anymore. Xiao Ran couldn't dodge in time and took several solid hits. Just as he was about to fight back, the manager arrived to deal with the noise complaint from the customers.

When the manager came over, the waitstaff had already filled him in on what had happened at their table. As a result, the manager's attitude towards Xiao Ran was tinged with disdain. "Sir, we've received a complaint..." Xiao Ran didn't expect his date with Gu Xiaolian to turn into a three-person drama. He had betrayed Su Hua, and throughout this farce, he had been protecting Gu Xiaolian the whole time. Su Hua's extreme behavior was somewhat justified. Thinking that there was no way to mend things with Su Hua, Xiao Ran felt a twinge of pain in his heart. After all, she was the first girl he had ever loved. It was too late now; they had already crossed the line, and there was no going back. All he could do now was to cherish Gu Xiaolian.

"We're leaving, rare," Gu Xiaolian humphed, clicking her high heels as she walked out. Xiao Ran quickly followed. The waitstaff still wore their warm, inviting smiles. "Sir, please pay at the front desk. Thank you for your cooperation."

Su Hua threw the bag at Xiao Ran's chest and left the restaurant. Before she left, she said to Xiao Ran, "From now on, we don't need to contact each other anymore. If I see you again..." Su Hua didn't finish her sentence and threw Gu Xiaolian's small bag straight at his nose. The enemy's pain value increased by one, leaving two streams of**. She turned around and walked out of the restaurant without any hesitation. The feeling of tearing down a cheating boyfriend wasn't bad at all.

"Hiss!" Xiao Ran felt a sharp pain first, and then he felt warm liquid flowing down. He touched it and found it was blood. He fainted. The waitstaff looked at each other with understanding; they had seen this kind of thing before. Wanting to dine and dash? Not a chance!

Xiao Ran was woken up by the pain, his philtrum pinched hard by someone with a strong grip. He didn't doubt that if the pressure had been a bit more, it would have bled. "Sir, please pay the bill." The voice of the waiter was still polite and smiling, like a spring breeze, as if the one who had pinched his philtrum just now was not one of them.

"How much is it?" he asked.

The cashier quickly printed out the bill and announced the amount. "So expensive?" Xiao Ran's eyes widened. The price was way beyond his budget. "Sir, the dishes you ordered are all imported ingredients and are limited in supply every day..." The cashier said a lot. In short, the restaurant's prices were extremely reasonable, and there was absolutely no intention of cheating consumers.

Xiao Ran felt like he was going to faint again, seeing the waiter's fierce look. His philtrum hurt again. "Pay by card." Xiao Ran took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his suit and handed a card to the cashier. He belatedly suspected that Su Hua knew about his cheating. That's why she unusually ordered expensive dishes. Xiao Ran couldn't figure out how Su Hua found out. He thought he had done a great job of keeping it a secret and hadn't left any clues of his infidelity.

Xiao Ran could never have guessed that he himself had told Su Hua where to go for the date...

After all, they had been together for nearly a year, and Su Hua was still a little sad inside. But more than that, she was relieved. To find out as soon as possible and stop the loss in time. When others break up, they exercise to consume the remaining energy. But Su Hua, under the pretext of breaking up, indulged herself in food and drink. After satisfying her stomach, her mood improved by half. She then went to a KTV alone and sang for two or three hours, venting all her disappointment in Xiao Ran. From then on, Su Hua and Xiao Ran really went their separate ways. She had no feelings for him anymore...

Su Hua got on the last bus of the night. It was very late, and there were not many people on the bus. She wore headphones and looked up at the twinkling stars of the high-rise buildings at a forty-five-degree angle, pretending to be a literary youth. Suddenly, her phone received a text message. It was from Xiao Yang.

"Su Hua, I saw you today. The scene of tearing down the cheating boyfriend was really satisfying (wink)." Su Hua quickly replied to the text: Were you there?!

After all, family shame should not be publicized. In the company, she always behaved very well. Being seen by others, Su Hua was still a little embarrassed, just a little, no more. Also, because Xiao Yang was not a gossipy person and would not send a text message for no reason, just to express admiration for her. Su Hua's sixth sense was always accurate, and she had a bad feeling. She thought in her heart, please don't praise her for being mighty and righteous, and if it has nothing to do with her, don't tell her. She had broken up and her little heart couldn't bear another blow. Boo hoo.

Contrary to her wishes.

Xiao Yang: "Did you know that Gu Xiaolian is President Gu's niece?"

"... I don't know?!"

The Gu president in Xiao Yang's text message was the president of the company where Su Hua worked. He was 1.87 meters tall, handsome, and wealthy. This was Su Hua's impression of him when she occasionally saw him.

"Su Hua, you're on your own, pat pat head."

Su Hua replied with a crying face. This time, it was really a niece. There were thousands of people with the surname Gu in the world. Why did Gu Sheng have to be Gu Xiaolian's cousin. Su Hua's face was pressed against the cold glass. If she had known that Gu Xiaolian and Gu Sheng were cousins, she would... still tear them apart. It would be more complicated, and the way of tearing would be more tactful. There would still be some room for maneuver, Su Hua hoped in her heart that Xiao Ran didn't tell Gu Xiaolian that she was from Aus Company.

...

As the ancients said, there are ten unsatisfactory things in life. On this day, the things Su Hua encountered were only unsatisfactory. What's more ruthless is that God also wanted to take away the little satisfaction she had. During the day, Su Hua had contact with Xiao Ran for a long time. Once again, she became Xiao
