Chapter 2262: Blaming Others After Being in the Wrong

~7 min read 1,395 words

According to this man, he failed to follow the rules only because Li Moning had unleashed too much of her charm.

It was Li Moning who led people into making mistakes.

As for him, he was innocent.

Jiang Mobai was instantly enraged.

He clenched his fists and scolded angrily, "Do you even know how to look in a mirror? With that pig-like face of yours, are you even worth my sister seducing?"

"I don't know, perhaps that's just her personality."

Just her personality?

Isn't this just criticizing Li Moning for being promiscuous?

This bastard...

Jiang Mobai burned with fury, raising his fist to beat the man!

Su Kexuan immediately pressed down on his arm and whispered, "So many people are watching; if you make a move, you'll be the one in the wrong!"

"But he is tarnishing Momo's reputation!"

"He is a piece of scum, and he definitely needs to be taught a lesson, but not in your way!"

After saying this, Su Kexuan turned her head to look at the man.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and although there was a smile on her face, her voice was cold: "You know you've offended the Li Family and have nowhere to go, so you deliberately provoked us, attempting to make us strike first so you could seize the moral high ground."

The man's petty schemes were exposed, and he panicked at once.

He still wanted to refute Su Kexuan.

But Su Kexuan didn't give him the chance; she opened her mouth and continued, "The Li Family isn't as overbearing as you think; apologize honestly, and this matter can pass."

"But if you are stubborn and insist on going down this path... then you can go and find out just how much the Li Family dotes on this youngest daughter."

Su Kexuan's combination of threats and intimidation was very effective.

The man wavered.

In truth, he didn't want to take such a risk either.

If an apology could turn hostility into friendship...

That wouldn't be so bad!

The man pursed his lips and changed his posture: "It was I who wanted to get to know this beautiful young lady, so I took the initiative to strike up a conversation and did some things that made this young lady uncomfortable; I apologize."

After finishing, the man smiled cheekily at Li Moning and said, "Please, as a person of your stature, don't hold a grudge against a small person like me; just forgive me."

Li Moning didn't want to pay him any mind and turned her head to the side.

Jiang Mobai shouted, "Everyone heard that, right? This guy is twisting the truth and tarnishing a girl's reputation; he's a total bastard!"

"Yes, I'm a bastard, but I've already apologized, so don't pursue this any further."

Jiang Mobai squinted at the man and snorted coldly, "Keep dreaming!"

"You... Miss Su already said she wouldn't pursue it; she's your girlfriend, aren't you going to give her some face?"

As the man spoke, he looked at Su Kexuan, waiting for her to back him up.

The result?

Su Kexuan shrugged and said quite "helplessly," "He won't listen, and there's nothing I can do."

"You... you can't have 'nothing you can do'; it was you who said it would be fine, that's why I apologized!"

"It doesn't matter why you apologized; what matters is that you have already admitted to taking advantage of that girl."

The man panicked.

But then, he realized something, and his eyes widened as he scolded angrily, "You were deliberately setting a trap for me! To think that people from the Li Family could be so shameless!"

Some of the onlookers simply couldn't watch anymore.

Someone accused the man: "You'd better shut up; you were clearly in the wrong to begin with, yet you're still trying to shift the blame!"

"Exactly, just looking at paintings with someone like you feels like an insult!"

"Leave here quickly and don't ruin our refined mood!"

The number of people condemning him grew and grew.

The man was powerless to resist.

In the end, he could only slink away.

But Jiang Mobai didn't want to let the man off just like that.

His eyes narrowed, and he followed him silently.

Su Kexuan saw Jiang Mobai's actions.

But this time, she did not stop him.

Su Kexuan and Jiang Motian took Li Moning away from the crowd and headed toward the lounge.

Li Moning didn't speak; she just pursed her lips and kept her head lowered.

Seeing that the little girl was very quiet, Su Kexuan asked, "What's wrong, were you scared?"

Li Moning shook her head.

Then she said, "I feel that I am still too naive; when encountering a situation like this, I could only wait for support and had no way to resolve it myself."

"You are still young; it's normal to be shy and flustered."

"That's why I say I'm naive."

Li Moning said, sighing softly.

Seeing her sister in low spirits, Jiang Motian offered specific advice: "If you encounter a situation like this again, just scream, slap him, and kick him in the crotch; beat him until he's crying for his parents, and he'll naturally kneel down and apologize to you!"

Jiang Motian's idea was simple, direct, and brutal.

But it wasn't very suitable for Li Moning.

The little girl just listened, and a look of discomfort appeared on her face.

Su Kexuan said helplessly to Jiang Motian, "Be a little more subtle, don't scare Momo."

Jiang Motian replied, "You can't be subtle with scum, otherwise you'll be the one to suffer!"

On this point, Li Moning agreed: "Sister is right, next time I definitely won't show any mercy!"

Li Moning wanted to grow.

Then some of that awkwardness had to be cast aside.

Su Kexuan, however, felt that Li Moning did not need to rush.

People grow up slowly.

The trajectory of fate would naturally push her to transform.

But right now, it was not a good time to talk about these things.

Seeing that there were freshly baked cakes nearby, Su Kexuan picked up a piece and handed it to Li Moning: "Eat a little cake to calm your nerves."

Li Moning liked small cakes.

She would never get tired of eating them, no matter how many.

But after taking a bite...

"Huh, why didn't I taste this flavor just now?"

"There is a pastry chef in the back; after finishing a batch, they will change to a new flavor of cake."

"Ah, then if I stay here all day, wouldn't I be able to keep eating new flavors of cake?"

"That is correct."

"That would be too blissful!"

Li Moning bit into the cake, her face full of intoxication.

As for the awkwardness and minding from just before...

It had already vanished into thin air.

Su Kexuan and Jiang Motian exchanged a glance, both revealing smiles.

Finishing off a piece of cake in a few bites, Li Moning felt extremely satisfied.

But at the thought of someone...

Li Moning took a sip of lemonade, then tactfully asked Su Kexuan: "Have all the friends you invited arrived?"

"Basically, yes."

"But I noticed that Qingkong hasn't come."

Mentioning Qingkong, Su Kexuan realized that she hadn't seen this guy either.

"That shouldn't be; even if there was traffic on the road, he should have arrived by now."

Muttering to herself, Su Kexuan turned around and searched through the crowd.

Then she happened to see a familiar figure.

Su Kexuan curled her lips and smiled at Li Moning: "Look, isn't he right there?"

Li Moning immediately looked in the direction Su Kexuan was pointing.

Sure enough, she saw Qingkong!

Li Moning perked up, her little face blooming with a different kind of radiance.

She even found an excuse: "I have some photography questions to ask Qingkong, I'm going over there first."

Li Moning left as soon as she finished speaking.

Jiang Motian, however, gently furrowed her brows behind her.

"Why are you still so worried?"

Hearing Su Kexuan's words, Jiang Motian smoothed her brow.

Then she chatted with her friend: "I am a little worried about Momo."

"Momo is pretty and innocent, so she is indeed worrying. Fortunately, she is very smart and will slowly learn to protect herself."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, as if an invisible hand were pressing down on everyone's shoulders.
