28 A Family That Inherited the Imperial Throne (1/2)

When Zhao Chang Gui saw that the two classmates he had brought for support had been dragged off by some fat guy, he felt regret well up in his chest.

What happened to Ah Feng and Cai that their face looked so sour?

This guy is huge, 300 pounds? No, 250?

Does that fatso know this kid?

If he does, can the three of us beat them?

If he didn't know him, then why does he have Ah Feng and Cai hostage?

The oppressive feeling brought on by Meng Fan's stature put Zhao Chang Gui in a state of panic. So panicked that he couldn't help but take a step back when Chen Da Qian leaned forward.

”I don't know what happened between you and Xiao Xue, but I know you guys broke up, and it's been five months already. Regardless if it's a friend or a boyfriend, it's her choice, not yours. I think the basic standard of an ex-boyfriend would be to minimize or even stop seeing his past girlfriends and not to be entangled in their business.”

Meng Fan's appearance had given Chen Da Qiang a dose of confidence. Of course, Da Qiang was a smart person. He knew what kind of girl Xiao Xue was. Fights, in general, should be avoided as much as possible unless his masculinity was put into question.

”It's true, I like Xiao Xue, and I'm pursuing her right now. If you are upset because of this and want to fight me, then come. If you can promise you'll stop harassing Xiao Xue after we fight, I won't hit back. If you can't promise that, then I won't go easy on you!”

Chen Da Qiang's remark was polite and full of courage. The spectators probably thought it was just interesting, or even a bit hormonal, but to Wei Zhi Xue, it was heroic.

When Meng Fan heard that, he decided that with what Da Qiang just said, no matter how bad the results were, Da Qiang won't be depressed or upset.

He let out a sigh and turned to the two guys he was holding on to, suddenly turning gentle and kind. He laughed and then told them, ”You know two days ago in this very spot, a couple had been arguing. The girl was screaming theft, so yours truly bravely tackled the guy and pinned him to the ground. If the girl hadn't arrived in the nick of time, I woulda sat on him, and he would have left without his legs. But guess what the girl said? She said the guy stole her HEART! I was so mad!”

”Just now, I thought some cringey thing was happening again and was about to run in without a word and drop kick the guy, at least I have to make up for what happened last time. But when I heard it was a fight, I sucked it up; there was a crowd, so I had to take a look. Besides, there are so many people here. You guys are all watching, right? You two are also here for the commotion right?”

The two guys, along with some of the onlookers, widened their eyes and focused on Meng Fan.

The legendary man of steel that had tackled the man from the night before is you! Respect, respect!

”Hey, flat nose, are you still gonna fight? If you don't start now, the professors are going to come!”

Meng Fan spoke of his embarrassing anecdote, for it was a threat to be reckoned. The two people he was holding onto did not dare to move. No matter how dumb they were, they could tell Meng Fan was warning them to stay out of this. They couldn't tell if it was because Meng Fan knew the other kid, or if he pulled them away purely for spectating purposes.

Coupled with Meng Fan's statement, Zhao Chang Gui who was already panicking gave up all thoughts of fighting.

The teachers were a secondary issue. God knows if this iron like man knew this kid. If he did and decided to tackle Zhao Chang Gui, could he stand it?

”You wait!”

Zhao Chang Gui was still fueled by the momentum, so it was impossible for him to leave without leaving some harsh remarks.

He glared at Chen Da Qiang, then squinted at Wei Zhi Xue. He squinted at Meng Fan as well. He didn't even want to look at his two friends who were shackled by Meng Fan.

It didn't matter how arrogant or proud he sounded; for after this fatty's meddling, he couldn't compete with the heroic statement Chen Da Qiang had said on behalf of Wei Zhi Xue.

Time to go.

I, Zhao Chang Gui will come back!

”This wasn't as interesting as the other day.”

Meng Fan laughed happily and smiled at the two men he was holding. ”Looking at the two of you is making my head even bigger. How about we go get some skewers?”

”Oh, it's alright. It's so late. The stores must all be closed now.” The two quickly refused.

”True. What a pity!”

Meng Fan sighed again and loosened his grip.

With their newly restored freedom, the two guys scurried away.

Meng Fan squinted his eyes at Chen Da Qiang and blinked his eyes bashfully. He picked up his drawing tube and headed for the convenience store. After resolving such a big conflict, he had to reward himself with a bottle of ice cola; no, make that two bottles!
