Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Dongfang Mu, aren’t you about to get married?
Dongfang Mu didn’t move. He let his friends go to the bar while he stepped closer to Gu Jing.
Gu Jing wasn’t afraid of him, rolling his eyes and said, “Get out of my way, you’re blocking me!”
Dongfang Mu replied gently, “I’ll move if you apologize to Qiao Yin.”
“What if I refuse to apologize?”
“Then you won’t be leaving tonight.”
“Dongfang Mu, you’re quite arrogant. Don’t think that just because you brought more people with you that you can stop me!”
“Young Master Gu, you knocked someone over. An apology is only right. Are you telling me the Gu Family didn’t teach you even the most basic manners?”
“What my family teaches me is none of your business!”
The more Gu Jing spoke, the angrier he became. However, he couldn’t reveal Qiao Yin’s identity to slap Dongfang Mu’s face and it frustrated him deeply.
He angrily pulled Qiao Yin from behind Dongfang Mu to him. She wasn’t prepared and nearly fell to the ground again.
Lu Yanxi quickly lent Qiao Yin a hand, stomping her foot angrily. “Gu Jing, are you crazy? Why are you being so forceful? You pushed Yinyin earlier, and I wanted to tell you off already. Don’t pressure innocent people just because you’re Young Master Gu! How about you have a fight with Young Master Mu instead of showing your temper at innocent Yinyin!”
Dongfang Mu finally looked cold seeing Gu Jing treating Qiao Yin so roughly, his usual gentle smile was nowhere to be found.
Those who knew him knew that this was a sign of his real anger.
His voice grew noticeably colder. “Gu Jing, Qiao Yin is my friend. I advise you not to touch her or hurt her. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it.”
Gu Jing’s temper was no less violent than Dongfang Mu’s at this point. He blurted out angrily, “That’s what I should be telling you, not the other way around! I warn you, you can flirt and toy with other women all you want, but you better not lay a hand on Qiao Yin!”
Dongfang Mu glared at him. “What do you mean? You like her? You want to protect her? Then why are you hurting her?!”
“Whether I protect her or hurt her, it’s my business. I don’t owe you an explanation. I’m closer to her than you are. So, you better not covet her, or I won’t be polite!”
Dongfang Mu gave a faint smirk. “Gu Jing, I knew her long before you did. Do you really want to compare with me? The relationship between her and me is far more solid and reliable than yours.”
He lowered his voice to make sure his words were unheard by the onlookers in the bar to avoid any words spreading that would be detrimental to Qiao Yin.
Gu Jing matched his volume, sneering coldly. “Dongfang Mu, aren’t you about to get married? Why are you in a bar playing the protector? If your fiancée found out about this, your wedding might be cancelled. As far as I know, your upcoming wedding is very important to your family.”
“You’re so worthless, using a marriage alliance to secure family inheritance. It’s so humiliating relying on a woman to get ahead.”
“Qiao Yin would never like someone like you. So, you better stay away from her, avoid bothering her at all costs. Or I’ll destroy the marriage you painstakingly planned.”
“Not only that, I will also help your cousin fight for the inheritance! Our Gu Family is a powerful ally! Once my Second Sister marries your cousin, the successor of the Dongfang Family will be him!”
“What do you think will happen to you then? People will continue to curry favor with you, calling you Young Master Mu? Will you still have women who like you? By then, Qiao Yin also won’t like a loser.”
Dongfang Mu glared at him. “If she doesn’t like me, would she like you? If I’m useless, how much better can you be? Gu Jing, you’re the real loser here, so the person who should stay away from Qiao Yin is you, not me!”
