Novel Full Chapter 148 An Angry Zhang Ju
Quiet!
In an instant, the room, which had been noisy, became as silent as a graveyard; you could hear a pin drop.
Immediately after, Zhao Tianjie and Zhang Ju’s gazes locked onto Li Qianfan, especially Zhang Ju. He had thought that today he would surely win Ye Ling’er over to be his girlfriend, but unexpectedly, she had rejected him for such a reason.
Zhao Tianjie’s expression was also very strange. He clearly remembered that Hong Jiumei was Li Qianfan’s girlfriend. It was because of Hong Jiumei that he had had a conflict with Li Qianfan. He had never imagined that Ye Ling’er, so outstanding, would also fall for Li Qianfan.
Can it be?
Is this guy’s luck with women really this strong?
On one hand, there was his good brother from the martial arts school, and on the other, a doctor who could treat his sister.
He couldn’t afford to offend either side!
For a moment, Zhao Tianjie instantly turned into an invisible man, hiding in a corner, shivering, not daring to make a sound.
“???”
The most bewildered at the moment had to be Li Qianfan. He had just wanted to be an onlooker, but he hadn’t expected Ye Ling’er to shift the battlefield onto him just to reject Zhang Ju.
No way!
Li Qianfan’s face was full of gloom. Sister, can’t we not do this?
Under normal circumstances, even if Zhang Ju were rejected, he would still recommend him to be the tutor to save face, but after such maneuvering, Zhang Ju would definitely give up on recommending him, and might even, like Zhao Tianjie before, interfere.
Any normal person wouldn’t let their love rival have it too easy, right?
Sure enough, after hearing what Ye Ling’er said, Zhang Ju stood up on the spot, his face frosty as he asked, “Ling’er, what did you just say? The person you like is Li Qianfan?”
“Yes, the person I like is Li Qianfan.”
Actually, Ye Ling’er regretted saying that as well because she had thought about what was in Li Qianfan’s mind, but as things had reached this point, she had to bite the bullet and continue, “If I didn’t like him, then why would I choose him when no tutor chose him?”
“How is he better than me?” Zhang Ju pointed at Li Qianfan, questioning Ye Ling’er.
Facing Zhang Ju’s questioning, Ye Ling’er remained very calm, mildly saying, “That’s true, he’s not as good as you, not as well-off as you, and he’s even blind in both eyes, but liking someone doesn’t need a reason, I just like him.”
Sister, please don’t do this!
Li Qianfan was in total disarray, the situation unfolding so suddenly, he truly didn’t know how to handle it.
“Li Qianfan, did you hear that? Ye Ling’er likes you, so I’m asking you, will you be with Ye Ling’er?”
Zhang Ju instantly shifted his gaze to Li Qianfan, inquiring.
Alright, it seems I can’t be just a spectator!
Li Qianfan’s eyes wandered back and forth between Ye Ling’er and Zhang Ju. Zhang Ju’s question was tough to answer. If he said he didn’t agree, it would be too embarrassing for Ye Ling’er. If he said he did, he would inevitably offend Zhang Ju.
This was practically a life-threatening proposition!
Just as the atmosphere had gone silent, Ye Ling’er continued, “Zhang Ju, you don’t have to ask Li Qianfan. My liking him is my business. Even if he doesn’t agree, I will keep pursuing him. The most important thing is, I already have someone in my heart, so I definitely can’t accept your pursuit. You understand, right?”
“Huff huff huff!”
Zhang Ju was almost choked to death with rage by Ye Ling’er’s words. Panting heavily, he looked at Ye Ling’er and said, “Fine, fine, you win. I won’t eat this meal, whoever wants to eat can eat.”
Having said that, Zhang Ju picked up his coat that was hanging on the chair and got up to leave.
“Instructor Zhang, don’t be angry.”
Seeing him about to leave, Li Qianfan immediately stood up and said, “Actually, Instructor Ye was just joking with you.”
“You get lost, don’t you freaking talk to me. I get annoyed just looking at you!”
Originally, Zhang Ju had felt quite fond of Li Qianfan when he saw him, but ever since learning that Ye Ling’er liked Li Qianfan, the more he saw Li Qianfan, the more irritated he got. If it weren’t for Ye Ling’er and Zhao Tianjie being there, he would definitely have started a fight with Li Qianfan.
After dropping that sentence, Zhang Ju left in a huff with long strides.
“Qianfan, don’t worry, I’ll go see what the situation is.”
No sooner had Zhang Ju left than Zhao Tianjie immediately followed, leaving only Li Qianfan and Ye Ling’er in the room.
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
Ye Ling’er cautiously glanced at Li Qianfan and said, “Li Qianfan, wasn’t it a bit unwise of me to say I liked you?”
“Big sister, you realize that now?”
Unable to hold back a sigh, Li Qianfan asked, “If you just wanted to reject Zhang Ju, you could have mentioned someone else’s name; why bring up someone who needs something from him? Look at his temper, he definitely won’t recommend me as a mentor now.”
Hearing this, Ye Ling’er’s face showed a look of guilt as she said, “Sorry, I didn’t think too much at the time. When I suddenly said I liked you, it was because seeing you inciting the crowd made me feel very uncomfortable. After all, I’ve called you husband, and you’ve called me wife before. Most importantly, we’ve even taken a medicinal bath together…
of all people, you shouldn’t have joined the jeering!”
“I called you wife, and you called me husband, because we were…”
Before Li Qianfan could finish, suddenly there was a ‘bang’ as the door was kicked open.
The next moment, Li Qianfan and Ye Ling’er turned their heads to see the red-eyed Zhang Ju standing at the door, panting and with veins popping out on his face like a mad bull, clearly having heard the exchange between the two.
And behind him stood Zhao Tianjie, with a face full of astonishment, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the two.
It never crossed his mind that the usually cold and aloof Ye Ling’er would take a medicinal bath with a student and even address each other as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’; this was simply unimaginable.
Seeing this, Li Qianfan let out a sigh of resignation. There had been a chance to ease the tension before, but now his relationship with Zhang Ju had deteriorated to an unresolvable point.
“Zhang Ju, what do you want to do?”
As Ye Ling’er stepped quickly into the room and stood in front of Li Qianfan, her heart tightened and she said, “Let me tell you, there’s nothing between us two. Whatever I do is none of your business, now get out immediately.”
“Li Qianfan, you son of a bitch, if you have the guts, duel me, don’t fucking hide behind a woman.”
Zhang Ju pointed at Li Qianfan and roared angrily. Find exclusive stories on empire
“Zhang Ju, Ye Ling’er has said it, she doesn’t like you; who she chooses to be with is her freedom. What’s the point of your anger? Even if you beat me up, will that make Ye Ling’er fall in love with you?”
Scolded by Zhang Ju, Li Qianfan felt a surge of anger as well. Originally, he had wanted to take a diplomatic approach to become a mentor and gain everyone’s support so that his tenure at the martial arts school would be harmonious.
But with things having escalated to this point, he could only take the second route: subdue all the mentors in the martial arts school, except for Ye Ling’er, to become one himself. Although the method was somewhat brutal and rough, without doing so, there were no other good solutions.
“Motherfucker!”
The more Zhang Ju heard, the more his rage thundered, and he raised his fist to charge at Li Qianfan. At this point, he was close to madness. How dare a blind nobody covet the goddess he admired; he had to teach this guy a lesson.
“Brother Ju, Brother Ju, don’t get agitated, we’re all part of the same martial arts school. If you strike now, it’d break the rules set by our master,” Zhao Tianjie said quickly, rushing to intercept Zhang Ju.
Ye Ling’er, too, rushed forward.
Through the unrelenting efforts of the two, Zhang Ju was finally pushed out of the room. In reality, with their strength, they should not have been able to stop Zhang Ju, but by constantly invoking ‘the master,’ they gradually calmed him down.
When Ye Ling’er came back to gather her things, she said to Li Qianfan, “Li Qianfan, I’m going to take Zhang Ju back with Zhao Tianjie. He can’t stop Zhang Ju alone, you should go back first. Don’t come to the martial arts school for the next few days, wait for my message!”
After the three left, Li Qianfan looked at the untouched food on the table and felt utterly dejected.
“What the hell is all this, a complete waste of my meal.”
Feeling utterly depressed, Li Qianfan drank down a cup of baijiu in one go, letting the bitter taste spread in his mouth.
Then he lit a cigarette and smoked, puffing clouds of smoke!
As Li Qianfan was drinking his sorrows away alone, the door was pushed open. Sun Qian peeked her head in first and when she saw that Li Qianfan was the only person in the room, she hee-heed with a laugh and walked in, sitting down beside him.
“Li Qianfan, your friends have left, huh? Isn’t it time to fulfill our agreement and measure your body?”
