The woman Xie Gongzi was holding was also splashed with juice. She exclaimed, "Qining, who is this woman? How dare she splash you."
Xie Qining threw off the woman beside him and, furious, raised his hand to slap Lan Yu.
Just as Lan Yu thought she couldn't dodge the slap, Xiao Anjing firmly grabbed Xie Qining's wrist and said with a cold expression, "Let's see who dares to hit my woman!"
Xie Qining finally noticed Xiao Anjing and recognized him. He said with a mocking tone, "Xiao Anjing? Aren't you just President Qin's lackey? When did my ex-wife become your woman? Your relationship is really messy..."
Before he could finish, there was a sound of something cracking. Xiao Anjing twisted his wrist.
Xie Qining cried out in pain and tried to break free from Xiao Anjing's grip.
But Xiao Anjing didn't let go. He twisted Xie Qining's wrist and arm behind his back. His anger subsided into a chilling calm as he said, "Open your damn eyes. In front of you are President Qin and his wife, and my wife and I."
Xie Qining bent over in pain, gritting his teeth, "It hurts, let go..."
Tianyi put his arm around Susu's shoulders and remained seated. He felt that people like Xie Qining deserved to be taught a lesson, as if everyone in the world should tolerate his ridicule.
Xiao Anjing wanted to force him to bend down and kneel. "Apologize to my wife. Say you were wrong, and I'll let you go."
"Xiao Anjing! You're going too far... You, do you know the consequences of doing this to me... Ah, it hurts, my arm, my arm!"
Lan Yu didn't want to escalate the situation and tried to stop Xiao Anjing, saying, "Forget it, I don't need his apology..."
"No, he must apologize to you today!" Xiao Anjing increased the pressure.
At this moment, the woman who came with Xie Qining called the restaurant manager, and other customers were also watching them.
Qin Tianyi stood up and blocked the restaurant manager, saying, "This has nothing to do with you. They're just playing around, having a strength contest."
The restaurant manager didn't dare to intervene rashly. This was a high-end restaurant, and the customers were all people of status, none of whom could be offended easily.
The woman accompanying Xie Qining quickly said, "Don't listen to him. They're not having a strength contest..."
"Apologize! If you don't apologize, I'll break your entire arm!" Xiao Anjing lost his patience and gave him an ultimatum.
The restaurant manager, seeing that the situation was not good, signaled the waiters to secretly call the police.
Xie Qining, afraid of having his arm broken, said to Lan Yu under duress, "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
"I can't hear you, speak louder! Who are you apologizing to?" Xiao Anjing questioned him.
He had to endure the pain and say loudly, "Lan Yu, I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn."
"We have nothing to do with each other. If we meet, just pretend not to know each other." Lan Yu said quickly, then tugged at Xiao Anjing, signaling that it was enough and he shouldn't continue.
Xiao Anjing finally released Xie Qining and asked, holding Lan Yu, "Are you alright?"
Lan Yu shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Let's go, we'll find another restaurant."
"What are you afraid of? He's the one who should leave. We're not leaving!" Xiao Anjing pulled her to sit down.
Xie Qining had never suffered such humiliation outside. Supporting his injured hand with the other, his anger had nowhere to vent. He kicked his female companion fiercely to the ground.
"Idiot, what's the use of calling the restaurant staff? Why didn't you call the police!"
The woman clutched her stomach. Before she could make a sound, he snarled and kicked her again, "Get lost, you cheap slut who only knows how to get benefits!"
Susu watched this scene and felt even more sympathy for Lan Yu. How could she have married such a person? What were her previous days like?
Xie Qining's female companion didn't dare to say a word and hurriedly tried to get up.
At this moment, two police officers arrived and happened to see Xie Qining kicking the woman for the second time. They immediately went forward and grabbed his arm, shouting, "Are you the one fighting here? Who called the police?"
Xie Qining wanted to argue, but his arm hurt too much to speak. He could only cry out in pain.
The restaurant manager quickly stepped forward and said, "It was me. Earlier, this gentleman and that gentleman seemed to be fighting, but I don't know why this gentleman then kicked this lady..."
"Yes, he's the one who hit someone," Susu stood up and pointed at Xie Qining, interrupting the manager. "You saw it just now, he intentionally injured someone. Arrest him quickly!"
The two police officers had indeed seen his shameless act of hitting a woman and thought he was faking his pain. One officer held him tightly and said, "Let's go, you'll have to come with us."
Xie Qining trembled in defiance, "He made the first move, I didn't..."
"You didn't what? Are we blind?" the policeman retorted impatiently, grabbing him. "Who made the first move? She hit you first, so you kicked her?"
"He didn't kick me, I'm fine." The woman finally got up, and still seemingly determined to protect Xie Qining, reached out to grab the policeman.
This led to an argument between the woman and the police. Susu exchanged glances with Tianyi and whispered, "Let's find a quieter place. It's too noisy here."
Tianyi and Susu understood. They quickly took advantage of the chaos and left the restaurant.
They reached the parking lot, and no one pursued them. It seemed no one had noticed them settle the bill and leave.
Susu and Tianyi walked ahead, discussing where to continue their meal and drinks.
Xiao Anjing, however, called out to them, "Tianyi, Susu, I'm sorry about tonight. I didn't let you have a good meal. Let's make another appointment next time. Uh, Lan Yu said she felt a bit unwell and went back to the car by herself."
Susu turned and looked around. She really couldn't see Lan Yu.
Tianyi said, "Okay, you guys go back first. If that Xie fellow causes you trouble again, I won't let him off."
"Thanks. It's fortunate you were here tonight."
"Is Lan Yu alright?" Susu asked with concern. "Please tell her that the juice splash was great, and there's no need to be angry with such scum. Xie was the one who lost face today, and she has nothing to be ashamed of."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Anjing smiled gratefully and immediately returned to his car.
Susu and Tianyi also got into their car. Tianyi started the engine and said, "You haven't eaten enough, have you? Let's find another place to eat."
"Okay." Susu couldn't help but sigh, "How can there be such a person? He betrayed and abandoned Lan Yu, yet he's so brazen when he encounters her?"
Tianyi said nonchalantly, "I think Xie Qining is used to bullying Lan Yu and never took her seriously."
"It was good that Xiao Anjing taught him a lesson. Relying on a bit of money to treat others like dirt, I think his current wife is also in trouble..."
"The woman beside Xie Qining just now was probably not his current wife, just a woman he was playing with," Tianyi said. "I heard that Xie Qining's current wife is pregnant, so she should be resting."
"Ah," Susu said in surprise, "But Xie Qining clearly has issues. It's impossible for his wife to be pregnant."
