You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Su Qinghe bit her lip tightly, her two small hands twisting into a pretzel under the table.

Lin Wanwan's vicious words pierced her ears like needles.

junk... trash...

Yes, she's a piece of trash, she always has been, and she still is.

Although she wanted to refute Lin Wanwan, Lin Wanwan was right; she was simply not good enough for Jiang Che.

She wanted to run away, but her legs felt like they were made of lead and she couldn't move. She could only look helplessly at herself with red eyes, like a useless piece of trash.

Su Qinghe was extremely insecure because she was constantly suppressed by her family and received no love.

But Jiang Che didn't think so.

Lin Wanwan and Zhang Yang's smiles grew increasingly arrogant. Just as Su Qinghe was about to be completely overwhelmed by their mockery, a warm, large hand reached out and enveloped her cold, trembling hand.

Su Qinghe was taken aback. She raised her watery eyes and asked, "Jiang...Che?"

A crisp "snap" sounded—

Jiang Che slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table, the force of which caused the bowls and plates to bounce.

The previously noisy environment instantly fell silent.

The guests at several nearby tables all turned their heads and looked in Jiang Che's direction.

Jiang Che slowly stood up. He was already tall, standing at 1.85 meters, which made him half a head taller than Zhang Yang, giving him a very imposing presence.

Zhang Yang was forced to look up at Jiang Che, and this feeling of being overshadowed made him very unhappy.

He was about to say something, but when he met Jiang Che's cold and fierce gaze, he was instantly frightened by the oppressive feeling emanating from him and swallowed his words back. He also unconsciously took a step back.

Jiang Che was too lazy to waste words with such a coward. He turned his attention directly to Lin Wanwan, looking down at her. "Lin Wanwan, did you brush your teeth this morning?"

Lin Wanwan was taken aback: "What?"

"Don't come out spewing nonsense if you haven't brushed your teeth. Don't you know you're stinking up people?"

Jiang Che waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away some disgusting fly. "And who gave you the audacity to think I'm trying to gain your sympathy?"

"Can't you get rid of that egotistical problem of yours? Do you really think all the men in the world have to revolve around you?"

Lin Wanwan had never been treated like this by Jiang Che before. Her face turned pale from the rebuke, and she immediately broke down: "You!"

"What do you mean, 'you'?"

Jiang Che didn't give her a chance to speak at all. His gaze swept coldly over Zhang Yang beside him, his eyes full of disdain and mockery. "This is your new love? Your taste is really not good. He looks like a hairdresser. I really don't know what you see in him."

Zhang Yang was watching the show with great interest when Jiang Che suddenly cursed at him, and he immediately exploded.

He's a well-known figure in this area, when has he ever been insulted like this to his face?

"Damn it! Jiang Che, how dare you talk like that?"

Zhang Yang was no longer afraid of Jiang Che. He stepped forward and reached out to shove Jiang Che, saying, "Who the hell do you think you are? Believe me, I'll make sure you don't leave this room!"

Faced with Zhang Yang's aggressive, menacing attack, Jiang Che didn't even raise an eyelid. He simply grabbed Zhang Yang's outstretched wrist and, with a slight pull—

"ah--!"

Zhang Yang screamed in pain, doubled over, and his wrist went limp and hung down in an instant.

It was obvious that Jiang Che had crushed his wrist.

"With that little strength, you think you can get by in the underworld?"

Jiang Che tossed his hand away like trash, pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, and curled his lip in a mocking smile, "Save your breath."

He sat back down next to Su Qinghe, worried that she might have been frightened by what had just happened. He reached out and patted her head to comfort her, saying, "Just eat your food. Don't let these two flies ruin your appetite. I'll take care of them."

Su Qinghe was a little embarrassed by Jiang Che's sudden head pat. She nodded and obediently continued eating.

Actually, she was no longer afraid from the moment Jiang Che took her hand.

Because she knew Jiang Che would definitely protect her. After all, he would protect her even in front of his family, let alone in front of these two outsiders.

Seeing the sweet interaction between the two, Lin Wanwan was so angry that she trembled all over. She gritted her teeth and stared at Su Qinghe, wishing she could poke two holes in her with her eyes.

Why? Why would Jiang Che turn against her for this blind man? And why would he humiliate her in public?

He shouldn't have done that! He should have humbly apologized to her, begged for her forgiveness, and then bought her all sorts of luxury goods to make her happy!

"Jiang Che! You're turning against me for the sake of a blind man like this?"

Lin Wanwan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally, anger overwhelmed her reason. Completely disregarding her usual ladylike image, she yelled at Jiang Che, "She's just an unwanted beggar! You're treating this trash like a treasure? Are you out of your mind?"

"Try saying another word to her?"

Jiang Che coldly raised his head, staring directly at Lin Wanwan. The murderous intent and oppressive aura in his eyes made Lin Wanwan tremble and dare not speak.

He rarely got angry with anyone, and usually appeared sunny, cheerful, and approachable, to the point that Lin Wanwan forgot that Jiang Che was also a human being, and that he also had a temper.

"In my eyes, she is a thousand times more precious than someone like you who is all show and no substance."

"No, you can't even compare to Su Qinghe in terms of looks. She is ten thousand times better than you in appearance."

"So who do you think you are? What makes you think you can be compared to her?"

Jiang Che was truly enraged this time. He had no intention of giving these two people any face anymore and directly picked up his phone to call the restaurant manager.

"Hello, Manager Xu, I'm in the lobby."

"There are two flies buzzing around me, which is ruining my meal. Please bring some people over to deal with them."

Less than half a minute after I hung up the phone, the restaurant manager rushed over with two security guards.

"Oh, Young Master Jiang! I'm so sorry, so sorry!" The manager broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the scene.

Jiang Che is someone even their boss has to respect. If they offend him, will the shop still be able to stay open?

"Please get these two out of here." Jiang Che pointed at Lin Wanwan and Zhang Yang. "Don't let me see them in this restaurant again; it's disgusting."

"Yes, yes, yes! Understood!" The manager immediately turned around, gestured for Lin Wanwan and Zhang Yang to proceed, and said firmly, "Gentlemen, please, don't make things difficult for us."

"You dare kick me out?" Zhang Yang clutched his wrist, his face filled with disbelief. "Do you know who I am? My dad is—"

"Even if your dad is the King of Heaven, he still has to get out of here today," Jiang Che coldly interrupted him.

The security guards were also adept at judging people by their status. Even their own manager treated Jiang Che with utmost respect, so how could they not see the situation clearly?

Without saying a word, they grabbed Zhang Yang and dragged him outside.

Lin Wanwan panicked completely upon seeing this. She still had her pride; if she were kicked out, how could she ever face the upper echelons of society again? Wouldn't she become a laughingstock?

She wanted to beg Jiang Che not to kick her out.

But after a clash between her left and right hemispheres, she realized that she had always been superior to him, so how could she possibly humble herself and beg him now? She couldn't do it!

"Jiang Che! You just wait! You'll regret this!"

Lin Wanwan, as if she were an old woman breathing heavily, uttered a harsh but utterly ineffective remark, then slunk away in her high heels.
