Chapter 1032 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens presenting: Chapter 1032: Chapter 1074: Saved a Beauty"Sir, please keep your voice down and not disturb... Donât stop now!
Chapter 1032: Chapter 1074: Saved a Beauty"Sir, please keep your voice down and not disturb the other guests," a polite waiter approached the portly middle-aged man to remind him.
The chubby man glared and said, "Iâm not here without paying; Iâll say whatever I want. Iâm a customer here, and that makes me God. Is this how you talk to your God? Do you no longer want your job?"
"Sir, I believe you are a person of quality and class. Dining in our French restaurant means you are highly respected in society. Being such a dignified person, how could you trouble a mere waiter like this?"
The waiterâs quality was evidently high. His words, though seemingly flattering the man, made it hard for him to continue his tirade without appearing ungracious.
"You know your place," the man waved his hand and then said, "Bring me the check."
The waiter was only too glad to see such an uncouth patron leave, promptly settled his bill, and nobody paid him any more attention. As for the girlâs fate, it was now up to her own decision.
"That girl is quite pretty; looks a bit like Yiyi and so pitiable. Honey, donât you want to play the hero and save the beauty? Then she might repay you with her gratitude?" Ning Xinâer teased Li Yifei with a smile.
Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "Talk of playing the hero, you all gave me cold looks over Michelleâs matter. If I stir up more trouble, wouldnât I be even more miserable? Besides, I really donât have such thoughts now, my feelings with Michelle have been long-standing."
Ning Xinâer pursed her lips and smiled, "I know, I know. Besides, if there were any more, even an iron man would collapse under the pressure."
As the three whispered among themselves, a commotion arose once more. This time, it wasnât the man shouting but the girlâs voice, soft yet audible in the quiet restaurant, "I donât... I donât... I donât need your help anymore."
Everyone looked towards the two, seeing the man grabbing the girlâs arm while she struggled, her face filled with panic.
"Enough talk," the man hissed quietly, his face twisting into a ferocious expression, "Youâve been such a hassle. You think you can just refuse my help like that? No such luck. Come with me!"
"Please... let me go. I donât want your money, nor do I need your help," the girl struggled while pleading.
"Damn it, do you believe I can make it so you canât even attend school here?"
The girl stiffened, and the manâs face smugly said, "As long as you behave, not only will I give you money for university, but Iâll also ensure you live comfortably. Iâll cover all your expenses and even buy you designer clothes and handbags."
This eraâs girls do like such things. Seeing the girl stop struggling, the diners felt a pang of regret as it seemed she was about to give in, earning disdain from Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yuling, who couldnât imagine being without money.
"I donât want it!" Suddenly, the girl forcefully pulled away from the manâs grasp, attempting to run, but he quickly reached out and tugged at her clothes. Rushing too quickly, she lost balance, tripped over a table leg, and cried out, her body staggering almost to a fall.
Her table was close to where Li Yifei and his group sat, and with her fall, she even tumbled towards them, primarily towards Li Yifei.
Li Yifei instinctively reached out, steadying her by the waist as she instinctively clung to him.
"Get up, thereâs nothing to worry about," Li Yifei said calmly.
The girl straightened up, her face flushed and she whispered softly, "Thank you," before trying to head towards the door, but the middle-aged man had already blocked her way.
Quickly stepping back with tears in her voice, she pleaded, "Uncle, please let me go. Iâm just a kid; Iâve just graduated from high school and still need to go to university. Donât bully me..."
With glaring eyes, the man retorted, "When you came here, wasnât it I who paid for your fare? Wasnât it my money that paid for this meal? Now you think you can use me and dump me, no way."
"Iâll pay you back, I promise," the girl urgently said, "Iâll work and earn money this holiday, I really will."
"No way. What if you run away? Come with me now."
"I wonât... I wonât go with you," the girl stepped back, tears streaming down her face.
"F*ck, are you coming or not?" the man burst out, reaching out to grab her.
She quickly dodged backwards, and falling once more, this time into Ning Xinâer, who quickly steadied her and angrily said, "How shameless can you be? Are you trying to abduct this girl?"
"Itâs none of your business, stop..." The man had just started glaring at Ning Xinâer, but upon seeing her beautiful appearance, he couldnât continue the foul language he was about to say.
Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yuling hadnât planned to get involved; it was rare for them to have a romantic outing with Li Yifei, and they found it distasteful to be disturbed. However, the girl defended her dignity in the end, and they couldnât bear to see her bullied by this fat man. Ning Xinâer glared and said, "What do you mean itâs none of my business? When you do something like this, everyone in the world has a right to intervene. The girl doesnât agree, what right do you have to force her, to seek out a mistress? That also requires consent; forcing her like this, youâre nothing but scum."
Ning Xinâer had always been known as a pure and innocent girl, but her true nature was that of a feisty woman. At that moment, overwhelmed by anger, her fiery side immediately showed itself. Her words were as piercing as a barrage of bullets.
Zheng Yuling wasnât one to back away from trouble either. Although she had become more restrained since being with Li Yifei, facing such a situation now, she furiously said, "Iâve seen shameless, but Iâve never seen anyone as shameless as you. Look at your age, still targeting a young girl. You jerk, does your wife know? Do your children know?"
"You..." The fat man was left with an ugly expression by Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yulingâs scolding.
"One should have a bottom line as a human being. Donât think that just because you have some money, you can disregard a young girlâs feelings. I advise you to stay as far away from us as possible," Ning Xinâer glared again.
The fat man could no longer bear it and gritted his teeth, saying, "You really talk like it doesnât concern you. Do you know how much money she spent on me?"
"I...I didnât spend much, you only gave me a thousand yuan."
"Nonsense, didnât you see us eating here? Just now, it cost over two thousand."
Ning Xinâer immediately retorted disdainfully, "You really have the nerve to mention that, taking someone out to eat, and then you want to put the cost on the young girlâs shoulders? She accompanied you to dinner, that was giving you face. Just look at yourself, and look how beautiful the girl is, you should be thankful she hasnât asked you for money."
The girl quickly said, "I will return it, Iâll pay it back."
Li Yifei, already impatient, took out a stack of money from his pocket and said, "Hereâs the money, and stop bothering us."
Regarding Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yuling, the middle-aged man didnât have many options, but when it came to Li Yifei, he became aggressive and with glaring eyes, roared, "Kid, who the hell do you think you are? Acting all high and mighty in front of me."
"Better watch your mouth. Iâm in a good mood today and donât feel like hitting anyone."
"I curse you, acting all tough; hit me if you dare, Iâll cripple you on the spot..."
"Slap, slap!" Two crisp slaps rang out, and along with them, the fat man spun around on the spot and then thudded onto the ground, sitting there staring dumbfounded at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei snorted coldly, "If you know whatâs good for you, get lost."
The middle-aged man then came to his senses and, fueled by a surge of adrenaline, sprung up and lunged at Li Yifei with claws bared. However, before he could reach Li Yifei, Yifei kicked him and sent him rolling across the floor like a tumbling squash.
The man, fat as he was, rolled like a ball, which was comically indescribable. Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yuling couldnât help but snort laughter watching the scene.
"You... you... wait and see!" The fat man struggled a bit before finally getting up, but he knew he was at a disadvantage in a fight with Li Yifei, so after dropping those words, he immediately ran off, covered in dust.
"Thank you... thank you, big brother, thank you, sisters." The girl quickly expressed her thanks to Li Yifei, Ning Xinâer, and Zheng Yuling.
Ning Xinâer smiled and said, "Itâs alright, you donât have to be so formal. Just be cautious when asking for help in the future, some scums simply donât have good intentions."
The girlâs eyes reddened as she softly said, "I understand."
Zheng Yuling also spoke up, "Donât feel aggrieved. When you encounter such scum, donât be afraid to resist. If they act inappropriately, call the police; if you show fear, theyâll think youâre easy to bully."
"Okay, thank you." The girl nodded repeatedly and then gave Li Yifei a glance, saying, "Big brother, I... I will repay you."
Li Yifei laughed, "He didnât take it; whatâs there to repay?"
"Then... then Iâll be going." The girl bowed to the three of them and gave them a grateful look as if committing them to memory. Then she quickly walked out of the restaurant with brisk steps.
With their interest not dampened by this interruption, Ning Xinâer and Zheng Yuling were rather pleased; facing a bit of trouble was a diversion, and more importantly, doing a good deed indeed felt comforting.
