Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Can’t Stand Others Touching Her
“Who the hell are you? I don’t know you,” scoffed Xu Yuan, rolling her eyes with disdain.
Three burly men quickly surrounded the table.
The man who had just spoken let out a cold, mocking laugh, “Miss Xu, you pretend not to know us after the deed is done? Have you forgotten that you haven’t paid up? You dare to owe money to my brother Qiang?”
Seeing the confusion in Xu Yuan’s eyes, Lu Wanwan realized something was wrong; these people were clearly looking for trouble, and Xu Yuan did not know them at all.
“Hiring my brother to teach that pure actress Ling Xiaoxue a lesson and now he’s in the hospital with broken legs because of her bodyguard! Miss Xu, how are we going to settle this? You won’t pay for medical expenses, and now you’re even trying to deny the payment for hiring him?” Qiang suddenly slammed the table fiercely, “Are you going to pay or not?”
The restaurant’s waitstaff, not knowing what to do, said, “Who are you people? If there’s an issue, take it outside.”
...
Qiang shoved the waitstaff aside, “Get lost, I’m here to collect a debt.”
Xu Yuan, known for her fiery temper, looked like she was about to retaliate, but Lu Wanwan immediately gave her a look that told her not to be impulsive.
After all, this was a high-end restaurant. If these thugs had any brains, they would confront them after they left the establishment. Otherwise, the restaurant’s security would quickly intervene, and they wouldn’t stand a chance.
If they insisted on causing a scene in public, it could only mean they weren’t here for the money but rather to create a bigger problem deliberately.
These men must have been hired by Ling Xiaoxue. If Lu Wanwan wasn’t mistaken, there would definitely be ‘bystanders’ planted around to record the event. This way, Xu Yuan would be the one to take the blame, allowing Ling Xiaoxue to garner public sympathy through crisis PR, portraying herself as the victim.
“Yo, this chick isn’t bad,” remarked a burly man with a gold chain around his neck beside Lu Wanwan, his lecherous eyes scanning her from face to chest, “Qiang, if she doesn’t have money, we could take her instead. Look at her, so fresh and tender.”
“Those causing a disturbance, get out now,” said the restaurant’s security guards as they arrived on the scene.
Qiang yelled, “What’s the problem? This woman hired someone to attack Ling Xiaoxue and is refusing to pay. I have every right to collect my debt!”
No sooner had he spoken than he violently overturned the table, causing a clattering ruckus that was accompanied by screams from around the restaurant and swearing from the trio.
“Flip my table, you’re asking for it!” Xu Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer and kicked out swiftly.
“Stinking woman, refuses to pay and wants to fight, grab her!”

“No fighting in the restaurant!”
“The mafia is hitting people, run for it!”
The scene became extremely chaotic in an instant, with Xu Yuan, who had practiced Taekwondo for several years and was never afraid of a fight, quickly entangling with the men.
“Ah!” someone screamed.
In the midst of the pandemonium, Lu Wanwan’s arm was suddenly seized, “I’ve got this chick! Heh heh heh.”
Amidst the scattered debris, she was dragged backward by her twisted arm.
Caught off guard by the panic, Lu Wanwan was unable to resist when, all of a sudden, a sharp cry rang out from behind, and her arm was released simultaneously.
A gust of wind rushed past her, and she watched in wide-eyed shock as the burly man who had just been holding her was kicked several meters away.
Lu Wanwan felt as if her mind had been instantly steadied, and as she turned around, she saw Gu Annan throwing a chair at the burly man who had just taken her hostage.
His towering figure stood close by, radiating an icy, furious aura, his sharp gaze fixed sternly on the man’s hands, as if he were about to chop them off and feed them to dogs in the next second.
The chaos was momentarily halted by his intervention, and Gu Annan watched the thugs coldly. After a moment of shock, the thugs appeared to be contemplating their next crooked move.
Without looking at Lu Wanwan, his lips pressed tightly together, Gu Annan uttered in a low tone, “Stand behind me.”
