Chapter 223: Li Wan’er’s choice

As Zhu Ping walked towards Xu Tingsheng, Li Wan’er who had constantly been feeling worried for him came over as well, firmly and resolutely placing her slender, frail body in between them.

“Don’t worry, I’m not so stupid that I’d make a move on him now. If I did that, my wife and father-in-law would see it, overthink things and unnecessarily complicate matters,” Zhu Ping smiled darkly, “Still, if others were to act rashly, that wouldn’t have anything to do with me.”

Perhaps riled up and instigated by Zhu Ping, several other young men in the crowd also had animosity in their gazes that were on Xu Tingsheng as they rubbed their fists in anticipation.

Even though the mountains were too high and the waters too deep in Shenghai, with their statuses being woefully insufficient as they often had to lower their heads in facing others, against some upstart who had gotten rich from opening a supermarket in a county, there obviously wouldn’t be much of a problem at all if they acted against him.

Xu Tingsheng pressed on Li Wan’er’s shoulders and moved her away, still seeming all gangster-like as he told Zhu Ping, “You think you can beat me in a fight?”

“I don’t,” Zhu Ping scoffed disdainfully before directly saying, “You may not know this, but those who are good at fighting aren’t actually the most capable. Instead, it’s those who clearly can’t fight yet can make his superior opponent stand there and take a beating, not daring to retaliate.”

Xu Tingsheng considered this for a bit before saying earnestly, “That sounds really badass.”

Zhu Ping chortled, thinking that Xu Tingsheng might really be just a mere brainless hoodlum.

Xu Tingsheng said, “So you’d better not retaliate later then.”

Zhu Ping asked, “Well, why don’t you give it a go?”

Xu Tingsheng replied, “I’ll wait for a while.”’
