Chapter 93: Little White Face and Unmarried Husband Brother
When Wu Rui heard Xu Manli's muttering to herself, he was stunned on the spot. Before this, he had thought of many possibilities, but what he never expected was that what would change her personality so greatly would be this. Getting married in China and around the world is a grand joyous occasion, but now having to marry someone she doesn't like and has no feelings for is indeed heartbreaking.
"I really don't want to marry him, but my family's decision is something I can't interfere with. The only thing I can do is give in, but I really don't want to!" Xu Manli tightly hugged Wu Rui, her teeth biting into the fabric of his shirt, her expression full of resentment. She was unwilling to become a pawn, a pawn that others could manipulate at will. She needed freedom!
"Wu Rui was at a loss for words, after all, this was someone else's family affair, he had no reason or right to ask questions or intervene rashly, which would inevitably lead to misunderstandings."
Seeing Wu Rui's indifference, Xu Manli's heart felt a little bitter. She knew that Wu Rui had no feelings for her; otherwise, upon hearing such news, he would have stood up for her. Rather than marrying someone else, she actually preferred to lower herself for Wu Rui, but unfortunately, the flower had fallen and the water had flowed away without any emotional connection - this was probably just her fate!
Xu Manli secretly sighed in her heart and didn't let go of Wu Rui, leaning against his sturdy chest where she could find comfort.
The dynamic song and dance in the Supreme Club continued, but compared to the enthusiasm around, Wu Rui's side was unusually quiet, as if it were the eve of farewell, suppressed terribly.
"Black hair!"
"Good evening!"
Just then, a sudden commotion came from the front, Wu Rui felt the delicate body in his arms stiffen, but Xu Manli did not leave his embrace, still moving her feet regularly to the left and right.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people arrived with a menacing aura, and wherever they passed, people dodged and hid, not daring to provoke these villains. It seemed as if they had foreseen that something was about to happen. The music in the club had stopped, and the people on the dance floor returned to their seats, all eagerly watching the newcomers, anticipating the impending battle.
There were about a dozen men, all of them burly and with faces that looked like they had "I am a bad guy" written on them. The leader was a robust young man in his early twenties, 1.9 meters tall, with well-developed limbs, and an aura of murder emanating from him, especially when he saw Wu Rui and Xu Manli still hugging each other, two tangible killing intentions shot out from his ox-like eyes.
Xu Manli finally let go of Wu Rui, naturally tidying up her appearance before expressionlessly looking at the newcomer and asking: "Wu Mu, what brings you here?"
"Xu Manli, don't forget your current identity!" Wu Mu's expression was almost dark enough to drip water.
"Not bad, I'm your fiancée, but aren't we still unmarried? What's wrong with me having some fun?" Xu Manli didn't show much emotional fluctuation, and then sneered again: "Besides, you can have a good time every night, why can't I, Xu Manli, have a romantic tryst?"
"Wooo..." At the sound, a chorus of wolf howls suddenly erupted around them, each one gazing at Wumu with an eerie gaze, or rather, staring at his head, as if searching for a green hat.
Of course, Wu Rui also received a lot of strange looks, and he was immediately embarrassed, but he didn't bother to explain anything. He firmly believed that the clear will be self-clear.
"Xu Manli, do you still have any face left?!" Wu Mu was so angry that he was on the verge of going crazy, his nostrils flaring wildly as he panted heavily, his eyes reddening, and his fists clenched tightly into balls.
"Not bad! I'm shameless, I'm a cheap person, you can now use this as an excuse to divorce me!" Xu Manli smiled slyly, but her words were shocking.
"What...?!" The surroundings were in an uproar, everyone staring at the black-dressed beauty in shock and disbelief. Whistles and boos erupted, no one knew who started it, but everyone spontaneously shouted slogans: "Call off the engagement! Call off the engagement..."
"You...!" Wu Mu was almost enraged to the point of vomiting blood, but he wasn't a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs either. He pretended not to have heard the whispers around him and turned his gaze towards Wu Rui in front of him, asking coldly: "You little white face, how dare you flirt with my woman!"
Innocent yet caught in the crossfire, Wu Rui smiled wryly and glanced at Xu Manli, but didn't pursue it further. He simply shrugged his shoulders and said to Wummu: "If I say that Xu and I are just normal friends, do you believe me?"
"Do you think everyone will believe it?" Wumu sneered and asked back instead of answering.
"Unbelievable!" The people around responded in unison, each with an expression that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, full of ridicule. Coming out here is all about seeking stimulation, even if they believe it in their hearts, nobody would admit it - the rivalry between White Face Brother and Unmarried Husband Brother has so much depth, how stimulating! Moreover, just now when the two were hugging, everyone saw it with their own eyes, truly unbelievable that they're just normal friends.
Wu Rui helplessly shrugged his shoulders, he had nothing more to say.
"You pale face, since you have nothing to say, I'll finish you off tonight!" Wu Mu sneered and took a step forward, his large hand reaching out to grab Wu Rui.
Wu Rui lightly dodged Wu Mu's grab while persuading him with a bitter tone: "What's the point of being so impulsive!"
"Huh? There's still some doorway!" Wu Mu exclaimed in surprise, but he directly ignored Wu Rui's advice, let out a cold snort and stopped playing house, his iron fist clenched tightly as he charged straight at Wu Rui's shoulder, his fierce aura making the people around feel their blood boiling, all of them holding their breaths wanting to see Wu Rui splattered with blood on the spot.
"Benefactor, impulsiveness is the devil!" Wu Rui shook his head, and a not-too-large fist rose to meet him.
Bang!
Wu Rui stood still on the spot.
The burly man, Wu Mu, who had been favored by everyone, was now retreating two steps back. Although he didn't make a sound, his fists were involuntarily shaking, and even the corners of his mouth were twitching. A discerning person could see that he had been at a disadvantage from the previous collision and had suffered a loss.
The onlookers were stunned, this result was completely beyond their expectations. Could it be that the young pretty boy also knew martial arts? This was a bit too much to take in. Of course, although they thought so, everyone still booed at Hei Mu.
Wu Mu's old face turned red, but his realm was quite high, and he ignored the contemptuous eyes around him. His gloomy and uncertain gaze stared at Wu Rui for a moment before suddenly waving his hand to order his followers: "All of you, come up!"
It has come to this, where Wu Mu no longer cares about saving face. The strong bullying the weak is just that - the strong bullying the weak. Finding a way back is the right path. As for the surrounding boos, he's already immune to them tonight.
Looking at the dozen or so burly men surrounding them, Xu Manli didn't worry about Wu Rui, but instead flashed a mocking smile. She wasn't an irrational woman and wouldn't be easily intimidated by danger; since Wu Rui could take down over a dozen armed special police officers, these thugs were naturally no threat to him.
But Wu Rui was helpless, in fact he would rather use magic, after all, a cultivator choosing close combat is quite awkward. However, this is the mortal world, and although his background allows him to be reckless, he also doesn't want to make it difficult for the old man to declare in the cultivation world, so he can only resort to close combat.
Thinking of this, Wu Rui counterattacked instead of retreating, relying on his absolute speed and strength to quickly knock down over a dozen people with an overwhelming advantage, it was as if he didn't even need to exert himself.
As for the surrounding audience and even Wumu, they were all stunned at this moment, and everyone was stupid on the spot.
