Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 444 - 443: I give you face, you call me a bumpkin, is that appropriate?

Chapter 444: Chapter 443: I give you face, you call me a bumpkin, is that appropriate?

Lin Zi adjusted her makeup and walked out of the restroom with an apologetic face, "I’m really sorry, everyone. There’s an urgent matter at home, and I’m afraid I’ll need to go back."

Fatty immediately felt upset, "Hey, why are you such a party pooper? We haven’t even started eating yet, and now you have something at home? What’s so important that you absolutely must go back for it?"

Lin Zi cursed inwardly, but her face maintained an apologetic smile as she looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang of course knew what Lin Zi was thinking. In fact, he didn’t care much about it, as he was only here to greet friends. As for Lin Zi or that dandy who treasured her as if she was precious, in Su Yang’s eyes, she was nothing.

"Go ahead!" Su Yang said casually.

"Thank you!" Lin Zi thanked him, walked out of the room, a sneer crossed her lips as she murmured, "Just as I thought, a total bumpkin who understands nothing. He still wants to play with me, a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh."

Just as Lin Zi turned to leave, the door suddenly opened, and Su Yang’s cold voice came through, "I’ve thought about it and I think you should stay here."

Lin Zi froze for a moment, not understanding why Su Yang had suddenly changed his mind, and immediately put on a pitiful face, "Big brother, I’m really sorry, but there is really an urgent matter at home. Maybe... I could come over after I deal with it?"

Su Yang said coldly, "Be clear, do you have business at home or are you going to entertain someone else?"

Lin Zi’s expression shifted slightly, had Su Yang guessed her intentions?

But in their line of work, lying was as common as eating or drinking, a skill readily at hand.

"Big brother, it’s really a matter at home. You are the guest Lord Yan personally instructed me to take care of. How could I possibly go see someone else today?"

Su Yang said, "Is that so? So, you are saying that soon you won’t be here and you won’t be meeting Wang Hui either?"

Lin Zi was shocked. Wang Hui was indeed the name of that spoiled young master, but how did Su Yang know about him? The messages she sent from the restroom weren’t seen by Su Yang at all.

"Big brother, I... I don’t know what you’re talking about..." Lin Zi continued to lie.

Su Yang’s demeanor remained calm, "I know what you’re going out to do. In fact, whether you’re here or not, it doesn’t really matter to me. Even though I know you’re lying, I can still let you go. After all, to me, you’re like nothing!"

A hint of indignation flashed in Lin Zi’s eyes. She considered herself not inferior to any star, and no one had ever treated her as if she were air. Was Su Yang just too full of himself?

Su Yang continued softly, "But you can’t take advantage and then act cute, crossing the river only to tear down the bridge, right? I didn’t expose your lie to save you some face, but then you turn around and insult me. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

"I... when did I insult you..." Lin Zi was panicked inside.

Su Yang said coldly, "A toad lusting after swan’s flesh, is that supposed to be a compliment to me?"

Lin Zi was dumbfounded, she was sure she had spoken softly. How did Su Yang hear her?

"Damn it, she even curses at people?" Fatty flared up, glaring. "Hey, just now you said you wanted to leave, and we didn’t stop you. That was pretty nice of us, wasn’t it? You step outside and start insulting people, what does that mean? Do you really think we’re easy to bully? I’m telling you, don’t even think about going anywhere today; get your ass back here!"

Lin Zi’s brows furrowed. She was quite a celebrity here, and normally the men were all very polite to her. No one had ever scolded her like this before. Especially after getting involved with a prodigal son like Wang Hui, many of the wealthy second-generation and officials’ children in the provincial city would call her sister-in-law, which somewhat got to her head. How could she tolerate being scolded like this?

"Big brother, I really have something urgent at home, I can’t go back in. I’m sorry, I’ll talk to Xiao Ding in a bit and ask him to arrange someone else for you. I have to leave now," Lin Zi said, turning around to leave.

"Damn it, stop right there..." Fatty bellowed, about to rush out to stop her but was directly blocked by Su Yang.

"Did I say you could leave?" Su Yang asked.

"I have a family emergency, what can I do!" Lin Zi didn’t even turn back as she said, "Just have whoever you want serve you; Miss me doesn’t have that spare time!"

"Hehe..." Su Yang chuckled softly, "Listen to me. If I allow you to leave, no matter what you do after you go out, I won’t mind. If I don’t allow you to leave, the moment you step out of this room, you’ll have to pay the price for your actions!"

"Fine, suit yourself!" Lin Zi scoffed. "Miss me just can’t stand you, what about it? If you’re pissed off, you can go find Xiao Ding and have him deal with this!"

Xiao Ding, in front of Wang Hui, had also been very courteous. Thus, Lin Zi felt that even if Xiao Ding found out, he wouldn’t dare to say anything after she went to Wang Hui.

"Since you’ve put it that way, please yourself!" Su Yang said with a faint smile. "That’s all I have to say; take care of yourself!"

Lin Zi rolled her eyes and turned around to leave.

"Damn, what the hell is this? What kind of attitude is that? Damn it, we didn’t stop you from going to see your lover. But leaving and insulting people, what’s that supposed to mean? Xiao Yang, you’re being too polite to her. A woman like that should be pulled back and slapped across the face!" Fatty exploded in anger.

Su Yang smiled faintly, "Fatty, you’re a man of standing now. How can you make a scene with a girl in public, isn’t that shameful?"

"This isn’t making a scene; I just can’t swallow this insult!" Fatty said. "She cursed at us, and we just let her walk away. Won’t that make her laugh at us for being useless?"

"For something like this, just let someone else handle it. Getting angry and arguing with a woman here is beneath you," Su Yang smiled. "Everyone’s here; there’s no need to ruin the mood over one woman!"

"That’s true!" Fatty nodded, then immediately said, "I’ll go find Xiao Ding and have him sort this out."

Su Yang nodded with a faint smile. The incident wasn’t a big deal. But Lin Zi was too full of herself, and her departure with insults was intolerable.

The server hadn’t been gone long before Xiao Ding rushed in. After hearing Fatty embellishing the story, Xiao Ding went pale instantly.

"Master Su, I am terribly sorry!" Xiao Ding nearly knelt down, his voice trembling. "I... I was outside just now and didn’t know what was happening here. Lin Zi is really too ignorant; I’ll bring her here to apologize to you right away!"

"No need to apologize," Su Yang said calmly. "I didn’t let her leave. Then she should just wait here until I finish this meal."
