Chapter 75 - Meeting a Lurker

The sky gradually darkened. Yu Cen Ran drove the black Rolls-Royce to a hotel and stopped in front of it.

The hotel had a total of more than ten floors. The chefs that were hired were from all over the country, so it would be difficult to find a competitor for the hotel in China.

Yu Cen Ran casually tossed his sunglasses into the car and opened the door. The South Bridge walked out of the car and took Yu Cen Ran's arm. The handsome man and woman immediately attracted many people's attention.

"Madam and sir, this way please."

Nanqiao and Yu Cen Ran sat at a table near the window. On the table, there was a bright red rose that emitted a faint fragrance.

There was a white grand piano on the hotel table. The pianist was wearing a black suit and his fingers were agilely dancing on the black and white keys, producing beautiful notes.

Yu Cen Ran looked at the South Bridge and said, "Please order the menu for us after you've finished eating. We'll go to the next place."

Yu Cen Ran was not in a good mood. Nan Qiao could see that he was livid and did not dare to disobey.

Nanqiao nodded his head, and saw Yu Cen Ran beckoning over. A male waiter wearing a uniform suit walked over, holding a ballpoint pen and a note in his hand, and passed the menu to Nanqiao.

With just a glance, she noticed that the South Bridge was already big. The menu was filled with French, so she couldn't understand it at all. She coughed, but Yu Cen ignored her and lowered her head, sliding her fingers across the screen of her phone.

Nanqiao curled his lips and thought to himself, 'Just now, what I said was so nice, but now, I've put on a bad face.' Nanqiao curled her lips and thought, just now, I said it was good, but now, I've put on a bad face.

The waiter politely smiled and asked, "Sir, may I ask if you are swiping the card or in cash?"

Nanqiao quickly replied, "This type of man never takes cash out of his house. Of course, it's to swipe his card."

Yu Cen Ran glanced at the South Bridge and took a few more glances at the quotes. The dishes on the menu started at three digits, while Yu Cen Ran was secretly feeling pleased with herself.

Taking the menu from Nanqiao, he used his long fingers to order a few dishes and then confidently handed them back to the waiter. "Call me one serving of all the wine that is placed in circles on the menu, and also give me a bottle of French wine."

After the waiter left, Nanqiao asked Yu Cen Ran, "How much did you order just now?"

Yu Cen Ran cast a sidelong glance and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry. In terms of swiping my card, I have enough money to support you."

Nanqiao, "…"

When the waiter was carrying the eighth dish, South Bridge's complexion was somewhat pale. He tentatively asked, "Can I ask for a few boxes to pack up later?"

Yu Cen Ran, "..."

Every dish on the table was over three digits. Under Yu Cen Ran's pale eyes, Nanqiao still chose to quietly let go of his stomach and have a hearty meal.

"The eggplant juice."

"Huh?" The sudden words were somewhat baffling to the South Bridge.

Following Yu Cen Ran's gaze, Nan Qiao raised his hand, and his white and tender fingers touched the corner of his lips, the warm juice wetting his fingers. He smiled awkwardly, and Yu Cen Ran casted a glance, leaned forward, and pulled out a tissue, passing it to Nan Qiao.

After dinner, Yu Cen Ran brought her to a movie theater. The two of them held hands the whole way, and there were many people buying tickets, especially the students. They were all looking at South Bridge and Yu Cen Ran.

"What are you afraid of?" Yu Cen Ran raised the two's hand with their fingers locked together and smirked, "We are a legal couple, it's legal and reasonable."

According to what Yu Cen Ran said, as his woman, she had to adapt to the strange looks around her, because he was too outstanding and couldn't keep a low profile.

Tsk tsk, South Bridge shook his head and sneered. This man not only had a tyrannical black stomach, he was also very narcissistic.

Yu Cen Ran chose a lover's exclusive double seat and the two of them sat very close together. They were watching a classic love movie, domestic love was both sad and joyful, the people beside them were all crying and the atmosphere in the movie theater was depressing and depressing.

South Bridge looked at the expressionless Yu Cen Ran beside him, then looked at the male and female protagonists on the screen who had been forced to separate for life and death, "Why aren't you crying?"

Yu Cen Ran replied, "It was just an act, I lost just because I was too serious."

Nanqiao raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. His gaze fell on the big screen and he realized that the male lead of the movie had given up his dream for his family's business and was now living the life of a scheming mall.

She had thought that he would have a resonance with her, but unexpectedly, Nan Qiao glanced at her. Yu Cen Ran was supporting herself with one hand as she held her temple, looking drowsy. Nan Qiao laughed lightly and shook her head.

Inside the movie theater, the two of them sat side by side, watching the male and female protagonists on the big screen. From time to time, Nanqiao would pass the popcorn to the men beside her, just like the other couples in the movie theater.

However, what they didn't know was that in another unremarkable corner of the cinema, a pair of sharp eyes were staring at them, filled with hatred.

Xue Yuwei wore a mask, revealing a pair of eyes filled with resentment. She clenched her fists tightly. The laughter and laughter of the two was so warm and sweet. In her eyes, it was so ironic!

What right did she have to be able to laugh and chat happily with Yu Cen Ran when people despised her and annulled her marriage?

No, she couldn't accept it, it was all the south bridge's fault. If the south bridge didn't exist in this world, then she would still be that lofty and famous young lady, and also the original mistress of the Yu family!

The moment she thought of this, the anger in Xue Yuwei's heart flared up by a few degrees, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Xue Yuwei had a savage look on her face, "Nanqiao, you forced me to live such a miserable life, how can I let you stay by Yu Cen Ran's side? "Don't even think about it!"

The movie was over. South Bridge was holding Yu Cen Ran's hand as they walked out of the movie theater. Suddenly, Yu Cen Ran's phone rang. He lowered his head and took out his phone from his pocket.

Yu Cen Ran stared at the phone number for a few seconds, then turned her head to the South Bridge and said, "Wait here for me, I'll go pick up a call. I'll be back soon."

South Bridge looked at Yu Cen Ran's back as he walked away and felt a little bored. He opened his phone and saw that it was all junk e-mail. He closed his phone and watched the people passing by, tiptoeing on the ground.

The image of Yu Cen Ran sipping a cola in the dark movie theater flashed across his mind. Nan Qiao's mouth curved up into a smile. She could be like an ordinary person, but she had to pretend to be cool. Just when he was thinking about it, he didn't notice the situation in front of him.

Not long after Yu Cen Ran left, a group of poorly dressed men walked out from an alley. They sized up the South Bridge with impolite eyes and a knife scar on the right side of the leader's face.

The group walked up to the South Bridge and stopped.

South Bridge wrinkled his brow, then turned around to leave. However, he was surrounded by a few people. Boring? "Do you want us brothers to play with you?"

South Bridge frowned and yelled, "Scram!"

"Yo, your temper is quite strong. This brother has a good mouth for that."

South Bridge didn't know what to do. Yu Cen Ran, who just answered the phone in front of them, was nowhere to be seen. South Bridge immediately turned and ran, but didn't expect to run into a dead end because of bad luck.

The lackeys took advantage of the situation, and the South Bridge could not retreat any further. Its back was already leaning against the wall, and it was quickly captured by them.

Nanqiao's stomach churned. When he opened his mouth to shout for someone, he was covered with the hands of the hoodlum. Disgusting, fearful, and all sorts of feelings assaulted him.

Nanqiao spat angrily. Just as he was about to break free from the restraints, he saw Yu Cen Ran walking towards him with a wooden stick in hand. He waved the stick a few times forcefully and knocked the hoodlums to the ground, causing them to scream in pain.

Yu Cen Ran hugged South Bridge tightly and pushed her behind him. "Are you alright?"

South Bridge shook his head, and Yu Cen Ran's gaze fell on the South Bridge's loosened collar. Her eyes squinted dangerously, and her entire body released a cold aura. The expression on her face was even more unfriendly.

Turning around, Yu Cen Ran sent a flying kick towards the head of a hoodlum. That hoodlum cried out and fell to the ground. Warm blood flowed out of his mouth and nose and he wanted to beg for mercy.

When the other bullies saw this, they were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe out.

Yu Cen Ran stepped on the hoodlums and said in an extremely cold voice, "Speak, who gave you the guts to do this!"

The hoodlum saw that he had offended someone else and hurriedly said, "She's a very rich young woman. She gave us brothers tens of thousands. If we succeed, we can still get the other half."

The rich young woman was Xue Yuwei! Yu Cen Ran's brows were locked together and the force under his feet became much heavier. He was crying out in pain.

Yu Cen Ran kicked him again. In the end, he rubbed his feet against the clothes of the hoodlum, as if he despised them, and said, "You dared to offend me, Yu Cen Ran, for such a small amount of money. Fine, you can get out of A city today. Otherwise, I will guarantee that you won't be able to stay here any longer!"

The hoodlums looked at each other. It was actually Yu Cen Ran!

The two famous men in black and white regretted it in their hearts. They kowtowed a few times to express their gratitude before rolling on the ground and disappearing at the intersection of the alley, looking extremely miserable.

"Sorry I'm late."

She remembered what the hoodlum had said, and she had probably guessed who the mastermind was. She endured the discomfort in her stomach, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You see, I'm fine too. Let's forget about this matter!"

Hearing this, Yu Cen Ran held the steering wheel and frowned, "Forget it?"

Nanqiao nodded. "Yes."

Yu Cen Ran turned her head and stared at the South Bridge. After a while, her eyes lit up and she said, "Whatever."

On the other side, a few hoodlums fled from the alley in a sorry state. The leader of the hoodlums saw the woman leaning against the wall, and he recognized her even while wearing a mask. The knife-scarred man waved his hand for them to stop and walked in front of the woman. "Miss Xue."

Xue Yuwei took off her mask and shot a sharp gaze at the knife-scarred man. "Is everything done?"

The knife-scarred man nodded. After a while, he replied, "No."

The crisp sound was particularly ear-piercing in the empty alley. Xue Yuwei was clearly very impatient, so she took out a stack of bills from her bag and threw it in front of the knife-scarred man. "Get lost, he won't let you off."

"Yes."
