Chapter 323: Tang Mengtao

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Tang Mengtao

Mengmeng’s words instantly stunned Jiang Fan and Yin Ruxue.

But she continued, asking, "Daddy, did you do something to let Mommy down? Isn’t Mommy your wife? How can you have a girlfriend, too?"

"Uh, well..."

Jiang Fan’s face turned bright red. He hadn’t expected Mengmeng to have overheard the entire phone call.

"Mengmeng, you misheard. You’re still little; what would you know about wives and girlfriends!" Yin Ruxue said, walking quickly over to Mengmeng and gently stroking her forehead.

While Mengmeng wasn’t looking, Yin Ruxue shot Jiang Fan a fierce glare.

Jiang Fan gave a wry smile and looked apologetically at Yin Ruxue.

"Mengmeng, you misheard. How could I ever do anything to let Mommy down? Daddy has some work to take care of, but I’ll be back to be with you and Mommy in a little while!"

"Okay!" Mengmeng agreed, blinking her eyes.

After giving Yin Ruxue another apologetic look, Jiang Fan quickly left the house and headed straight for Kangqiao Water County.

Along the way, Jiang Fan cursed Li Muwan in his head. ’That woman really knows how to make trouble for me.’

Jiang Fan followed his GPS to a bar street in the city; Kangqiao Water County was located on it.

The sign was prominent, and Jiang Fan spotted it with a single glance.

It was just past three in the afternoon, and the bar street wasn’t very crowded, but Jiang Fan could already see that Kangqiao Water County was bustling with people.

He parked his car and headed straight into the bar.

Once inside, Jiang Fan saw that the bar wasn’t overly packed, but the lighting was dim.

This wasn’t an issue for Jiang Fan, however. He activated his x-ray vision and quickly spotted Li Muwan sitting at the bar next to the dance floor.

Jiang Fan sighed and walked over.

He then noticed that Li Muwan’s face was flushed, and a man in a white shirt was sitting next to her.

The man was trying to chat her up, and one of his hands was gripping her.

"Let go of me!"

Li Muwan shook off the man’s hand.

But the man just placed his hand right back on Li Muwan’s shoulder.

"Hey beautiful, you broke a bottle of whiskey, and I already paid for it. Can’t you at least have one drink with me?"

The man chuckled, pushing a glass toward Li Muwan.

Blushing, Li Muwan didn’t hesitate for a moment, downing the red wine in the glass.

"Nice! Straight to the point! Beautiful, how about a couple more drinks? We could go somewhere else!"

"Get lost!" Li Muwan shouted.

But the man’s hand was on her shoulder again, trying to pull her into his embrace.

Li Muwan instinctively tried to struggle free, but for a moment, she couldn’t break away.

The man looked mild-mannered and refined, with black-framed glasses, but he was surprisingly strong. Li Muwan’s expression turned grim.

"Let her go!"

Without another word, Jiang Fan shoved the man in the shirt aside with one hand and pulled Li Muwan over to his side.

"Jiang Fan!"

Seeing Jiang Fan, Li Muwan giggled and threw herself into his arms.

Jiang Fan frowned, but seeing how drunk she was, he gritted his teeth and didn’t say anything.

"Who the fuck are you?" The man in the shirt, having been shoved aside, was instantly furious.

"He’s my boyfriend!" Li Muwan said drunkenly.

"Boyfriend?" Hearing her words, the man’s anger flared.

"You have a boyfriend and you’re still out here trying to land a rich guy?"

Jiang Fan frowned. The man in the shirt, however, said with a straight face, "Bro, I’m not the type to steal another man’s girl. Since you’re her boyfriend, just pay her tab, and I won’t stop you two."

"What tab?" Jiang Fan asked with a frown.

The man in the shirt pointed at the bar. "She drank quite a bit, then broke a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of craft beer. The total came to one hundred and twenty thousand, not a penny more, not a penny less. And I’m the one who paid for it!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand?" Jiang Fan glanced at Li Muwan, but she just blushed and giggled foolishly.

Jiang Fan turned to the bartender.

"Is it one hundred and twenty thousand?"

The bartender glanced at Jiang Fan, then at the man in the shirt, his gaze shifty.

"I’m asking you, is it or isn’t it?" Jiang Fan said, growing impatient.

Only then did the bartender speak up. "This young lady and this gentleman did, in fact, run up a tab of one hundred and twenty thousand in total!"

"What do you mean, ’in total’? They aren’t together!" Jiang Fan said coldly.

The bartender said in a low voice, "This gentleman already paid for everything. We just collect the money."

"Cut the fucking crap, kid. You broke and still trying to play the hero?" The man in the shirt shot Jiang Fan an impatient look.

"I said it’s one hundred and twenty thousand, so it’s one hundred and twenty thousand. And that’s after a discount they gave me out of respect. If you can’t afford it, then just piss off. Don’t come here and make a fool of yourself!"

"Jiang Fan, don’t give him the money!" Li Muwan suddenly said. "I didn’t drink anything that expensive. He’s the one who ordered a ’Divine Dragon Set’!"

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at Li Muwan. Though he had no idea what a "Divine Dragon Set" was, it was clear she wasn’t completely drunk.

Just then, Li Muwan pulled a bank card from her pocket and handed it to the bartender.

"I don’t know him. We’re paying separately!"

The bartender glanced at Li Muwan, then looked toward the man in the shirt.

"Young Master Tang, this..."

The bartender clearly knew the man in the shirt, and he looked to be in a difficult position.

"The fuck? What’s that supposed to mean?" The man in the shirt snatched the card from Li Muwan’s hand and said coldly, "Are you trying to piss me off?"

With that, he threw the card on the floor and looked at Jiang Fan.

"You little punk, if you want to be the hero, then cough up the money. What kind of man uses a woman’s money? One hundred and twenty thousand, not a penny more from you."

Jiang Fan sneered, picked up the bank card from the ground, and pulled Li Muwan to her feet.

"Let’s go."

"Go? If you manage to walk out of Kangqiao Water County today, then I, Tang Mengtao, might as well pack it in here in Yang City."

As he spoke, the man grabbed Li Muwan, intending to pull her back.

Jiang Fan shook his head in resignation. He hadn’t wanted to cause trouble, but this Tang Mengtao was clearly looking for it.

Jiang Fan had noticed from the start that Tang Mengtao had ill intentions and had been getting handsy with Li Muwan the whole time.

He’d originally thought they could just pay and leave to end the matter, but Tang Mengtao was obviously determined to keep them there.

He couldn’t be bothered with any more nonsense. He strode forward, grabbed Tang Mengtao’s wrist, and said coldly, "Let her go!"

Tang Mengtao was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage from the humiliation.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, daring to meddle in this young master’s business!"

As he spoke, Tang Mengtao threw a punch straight at Jiang Fan’s face.

But in Jiang Fan’s eyes, Tang Mengtao’s movements were far too slow. Seeing that he had started it, Jiang Fan held nothing back. He dodged to the side and followed through with a swift kick to Tang Mengtao’s stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.
