Way back to Our Past

43. No Decent Language from a Filthy Mouth

Translator: Amber97

Unwilling to admit defeat, Lin Yiyi decided to take the challenge from Ling Mubai’s assistant. The two of them kept pouring wine into their glasses, and after a short while, they finished a whole bottle.

Worrying about Lin Yiyi’s condition, Qu Wan tried to prevent her from drinking too much, but Ling Mubai stopped her with a smile.

Knowing that Lin Yiyi was never a heavy drinker, Ling Mubai was sure that she was no math for his assistant. So he just stood by and waited for her to get drunk.

However, Lin Yiyi performed well today, for she drank about the same amount of wine as Ling Mubai’s assistant. In the end, both of them got heavily drunk and felt their heads were spinning.

Qu Wan couldn’t help trying to persuade Lin Yiyi again. “Yiyi, stop drinking!”

Lin Yiyi was so hammered that she was unwilling to take Qu Wan’s suggestion. Seeing her keep drinking, Qu Wan had no choice but to beg Ling Mubai, “Please don’t let them drink anymore.”

As they were talking, the door was opened and a burst of Chanel perfume’s fragrance wafted over. A few young and beautiful women walked in.

The woman in the front had an elegant demeanor. It was beyond doubt that she came from a noble family.

Wearing a gentle smile, Jiang Xinyue walked over to Ling Mubai. “Mubai, my friend and I were eating in the room next to yours just now. Hearing that you’re also here, I came over to take a look.”

Although Jiang Xinyue said this, she had long known that he was in this restaurant.

Knowing that Ling Mubai attended the TV show today, she could no longer remain calm and immediately drove to the TV station. As a well-educated woman, she didn’t directly rush in. Otherwise, she would have disgraced herself.

She waited three hours outside the TV station before the program ended. Then, she saw Ling Mubai coming to the restaurant with a bunch of people.

Jiang Xinyue’s purpose of following them was quite simple. She just didn’t want Qu Wan to have any chance to stay with Ling Mubai alone. She had to prevent them from renewing their relationship.

Jiang Xinyue sat beside Ling Mubai and thanked the waiter for bringing her the chair.

Qu Wan put on a more sarcastic look. Jiang Xinyue’s clothes, shoes, perfume and handbag were all Chanel. Seeing this, she was gripped by distress.

In the past, Ling Mubai had said that he would give her the best things in the world, so he changed all of her personal belongings into Chanel. She had thought it was his unique way of loving her.

When looking at Jiang Xinyue, she felt it was so ironic. It turned out that Ling Mubai had a special preference for women using Chanel’s products.

Lin Yiyi, who had already become dizzy after getting drunk, immediately sobered up when seeing Jiang Xinyue. She came to her side and said contemptuously, “Miss Jiang, Mr. Ling and you are indeed a loving couple. It’s already late at night, but you two are still reluctant to part with each other.”

Jiang Xinyue ignored Lin Yiyi’s provocation and looked at Ling Mubai’s face. “Mubai, you have stomach problems. Why did you drink again?”

“I only drank a little,” Ling Mubai answered.

“I brought you some medicine. Take one first, or you’ll have a stomachache in the middle of the night again!”

In fact, she just said this to make Qu Wan jealous. Ling Mubai had never spent a night with her, so she had no idea whether he suffered a stomachache in the middle of the night or not.

“No need. I’m fine.” Without taking the medicine, Ling Mubai glanced at Qu Wan. A moment ago, she still begged him to stop Lin Yiyi from drinking too much. But now, with her head down, she was eating crayfish with her chopsticks, as if she hadn’t heard his talk with Jiang Xinyue at all.

Although Qu Wan didn’t care that much about Jiang Xinyue’s interaction with Ling Mubai, Lin Yiyi couldn’t help flying into a rage when seeing their public display of affection.

“Mr. Ling, Miss Jiang, I should make a toast to you. May you two live together till old and grey!” Lin Yiyi directly brought over two big glasses and filled them with wine.

“Thanks for your blessings. Mubai and I will definitely be happy together.” Jiang Xinyue took a sip from her glass. “But I am not good at drinking. I can only drink a little.”

“If you can’t finish drinking this glass of wine, we will think you are reluctant to accept our blessings. So you have to drink it!” Lin Yiyi placed Jiang Xinyue’s glass in front of Ling Mubai and said, “If you can’t drink it yourself, let Mr. Ling help you!”

Since Lin Yiyi was toasting to Ling Mubai and Jiang Xinyue, it was inappropriate for the assistant to drink for them, so she could only watch from the side with anxiety.

Showing a pitiful look, Jiang Xinyue felt wronged. She couldn’t finish drinking it herself, but she was also reluctant to let Ling Mubai drink too much.

Qu Wan smiled and put her chopsticks down. She picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth clean and said, “Yiyi is right. Miss Jiang, you must drink the wine as an acceptance of our blessings. If you can’t do it yourself, let Mr. Ling drink it for you.”

A hint of sorrow flashed across Ling Mubai’s eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Xinyue had already picked up the glass to drink the wine in one gulp. After that, her face turned red.

“Miss Jiang, you’re amazing!” Qu Wan stood up and clapped. “I heard that Mr. Ling and you are about to get engaged soon. Since you two showed up together this evening, how about drinking cross-cupped wine?”

“That’s great!” Everyone started to cheer.

Lin Yiyi immediately took the hint. She brought over two bigger cups and put them in front of Ling Mubai and Jiang Xinyue.

After pouring the wine for them, Qu Wan handed one cup to Jiang Xinyue and the other to Ling Mubai. With a bright smile, she said, “I wish your love last forever!”

Jiang Xinyue looked at the cup and felt embarrassed. “Mubai, if you dislike…we don’t need to do that.”

“Why not?” Ling Mubai couldn’t help wearing a glum look. He would definitely teach Qu Wan a lesson sooner or later!

Ling Mubai picked up his cup, and Jiang Xinyue immediately blushed. With their cup-holding arms crossed, the two of them drank from each other’s cup.

Qu Wan wanted to leave. Putting her glass down, she walked to Lin Yiyi and said, “Yiyi, let’s go… Ah…”

Qu Wan had no idea when Ling Mubai stuck out his foot, and she tripped when passing by him. Qu Wan let out a cry and was about to fall onto the ground.

Ling Mubai held Qu Wan’s waist in time and pulled her over. At the same time, the glass on the table was knocked down and the wine spilled on Jiang Xinyue’s clothes.

“Miss Qu, why are you so careless?” Ling Mubai’s face darkened as he looked down at Qu Wan’s eyes.

“I am sorry!” Qu Wan was a little flustered.

Jiang Xinyue’s clothes were all wet with wine, which made her look a real mess. Ling Mubai let go of Qu Wan and handed her a tissue. Then he ordered his assistant, “Send Xinyue back home.”

Jiang Xinyue had no idea that Ling Mubai did all this on purpose. She thought that Qu Wan had pretended to fall to get close to Ling Mubai.

She tried her best to maintain an elegant manner, but her heart was filled with hatred. ‘Qu Wan, you damn bitch! I will never let you off!’ she thought to herself.

Since Jiang Xinyue’s clothes were stained with wine, she had no choice but to leave with Ling Mubai’s assistant.

After dinner, Qu Wan and Lin Yiyi walked out of the restaurant hand in hand. Lin Yiyi was elated when recalling Jiang Xinyue’ awkward look just now.

“Wanwan, you were amazing. We finally get back at that bitch!”

Knowing that Lin Yiyi had misunderstood the situation, Qu Wan was about to explain to her. However, Ling Mubai caught up with them and said, “Qu Wan, I didn’t expect you to become so scheming!”

With that, he directly passed by the two of them and got on his car parked by the roadside.

“Damn it! It’s true that a filthy mouth can never utter decent language! “Lin Yiyi retorted, for she didn’t want Qu Wan to suffer grievances.

Qu Wan quickly pulled her away and said, “It’s no need to argue with him. Let’s go.”

On their way back, Lin Yiyi finally knew that Qu Wan didn’t fall on purpose. Instead, it was Ling Mubai who deliberately tripped her up. Besides, he also spilled the wine on Jiang Xinyue’s clothes on purpose.

“What is he up to? Is he crazy?”

“I don’t know what his purpose is, but we should stop provoking him. Have your forgot that he retaliated against you last time?”

“I will by no means feel intimidated by his threat! At worst, I can quit my job!”

Holding her hand, Qu Wan consoled, “I know you’re not afraid of him, but you don’t have to lose your job because of him. He’s just an insignificant person. It’s not worth it!”

Before Ling Mubai drove away from the restaurant’s gate, he saw Wang Zicheng drive over and stop the car beside his. Wang Zicheng lowered the car window and looked at him with provocation.

“Mr. Wang, why did you come out at such a time?”

“Since my girlfriend isn’t around, I am not in the mood to do anything!”

Ling Mubai sneered. “Mr. Wang, you are indeed a playboy. I am surprised that you have a new girlfriend so soon!”

“Mr. Ling, what do you mean by that? I’m not that kind of scum who randomly abandon his woman! “Wang Zicheng was annoyed. Was Ling Mubai indicating that he was unfaithful in love?

He loved Qu Wan with all his heart and soul now. How could he have a new girlfriend?

Ling Mubai retorted, “I remember that Miss Qu has rejected you and cleared your relationship in front of the media, right?”

“It’s just a publicity method used by the TV station. I didn’t expect you to be fooled by such a stupid trick. To tell you the truth, Wanwan and I have already secretly engaged!”

“Mr. Wang, you are truly a boaster. How can you appear so calm when telling a lie? You can continue to daydream, but I have to go first.” Ling Mubai was burning with rage, for he couldn’t bear to see Wang Zicheng keep pestering Wanwan!

When Qu Wan and Lin Yiyi came out, Wang Zicheng had already run out of patience. Pointing at his watch, he complained, “You two are as slow as snails!”

“I didn’t ask you to pick me up!” Qu Wan said with surprise, “How did you know we are here?”

“I am not here to pick you up. I just happened to pass by,” Wang Zicheng said unhappily, “You don’t own this road, do you? Since that’s the case, I can come here at will!”

“Mr. Wang, why are you so aggressive today?” Lin Yiyi asked.

Wang Zicheng glared at her and answered, “To tell you the truth, I nearly lost my temper!”

Seeing that he had been staring at Qu Wan, Lin Yiyi immediately understood his intention. “Mr. Wang, thank you for coming here to send Wanwan home.”

“I just passed by! I didn’t come to this place on purpose, so don’t flatter yourself.” Wang Zicheng opened the car door. “But since I met the two of you, I will send you back merely out of politeness.”

Lin Yiyi and Qu Wan were rendered speechless. They couldn’t figure out what was on Wang Zicheng’s mind.

It was evident that he intended to pick them up, but instead of admitting it, he even said a bunch of nonsense.

Actually, he was enraged by Ling Mubai’s words just now. Feeling that his self-esteem was hurt, he was a little depressed.

After getting on his car, Ling Mubai didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he stopped his car nearby the restaurant and fixed his eyes on the opposite side of the road. He saw Qu Wan and Lin Yiyi getting into Wang Zicheng’s car with a smile.

Recalling the triumphant look on Wang Zicheng’s face, Ling Mubai was instantly overwhelmed with anger. He stepped on the gas fiercely and drove away from the restaurant.
