She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 181: The Game of the Rich Kid? I’m Done Playing (Part 19)
Han Fangli didn’t leave. He stood to the side, took out his phone, and sent a message in the group, posting the photos he had taken earlier.
Han Fangli: This mushroom soup is quite delicious, and these fried mushrooms are way tastier than those at the gourmet mountain shops I’ve been to before.
Han Fangli: She really has a knack for this.
Han Fangli: It just occurred to me that she had learned from a chef a couple of years ago with Xiao Su, but I didn’t expect it to taste this good. @Xiao Su, you little rascal, with such good food, you only praised it as not bad before? Compared to the places we’ve been to, who can match her skills? I’m increasingly interested in her and suddenly noticing many qualities I hadn’t seen before.
Cheng Yuqing: Is it really that good?
Han Fangli: Really, I see those people lining up because they like the food, not because of who she is. Don’t you love gourmet mushroom soup? Don’t miss out, it’s really good.
Cheng Yuqing: Then maybe I’ll try it if I get the chance.
For Han Fangli to say so, the taste is probably really not bad.
Even though she said that, deep down, she still looked down on someone like Li Chen.
Maybe she would think of it someday, but no matter how much she liked gourmet mushrooms and mushroom soup, she wouldn’t specifically go to Li Chen’s place to eat. Maybe she’d try it if she ran into it.
Lin Jiajia: Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?
Han Fangli: You try it and you’ll see. Mr. Xiao, what’s he doing? Not even responding.
Wei Hui: Busy dating Qin Zhiyao, it seems they’re getting along better and better. Maybe one of these days, the two families will announce good news. Also, is Li Chen’s cooking really that good?
He didn’t quite believe it, but Han Fangli didn’t seem like someone who would lie about such things.
That was quite unexpected.
But he didn’t care much. Just making good food isn’t a particularly special skill. There are plenty of people who cook well in this world, they’re all called chefs.
Han Fangli: Try it, and you’ll know.
Wei Hui: Not interested.
He wouldn’t go. What if someone recognized him? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble? The attention had just died down, and now because of Li Chen, some people were dragging him out to mock him.
He thought that once this wave of attention passed, not many people would pay attention to Li Chen anymore.
But speaking of which, he was still a bit annoyed. But Han Fangli and Meng Sheng were both interested in Li Chen now, so he couldn’t do anything.
Wei Hui: Is she really dating that Song Mo?
Han Fangli: Seems like it.
Wei Hui: You’re just watching them date, not doing anything? Since there’s no apparent weakness with her so far, why not try that Song Mo? Anyone hanging around that circle can’t be clean. If someone promises he can get back in, he’d probably turn around and sell out Li Chen, then you can be the hero saving the beauty.
See how Li Chen reacts.
Wei Hui stroked his chin, thinking right, with Han Fangli and Meng Sheng in the way, he couldn’t do anything to Li Chen, but dealing with Song Mo was no problem.
This kind of situation was common; Wei Hui was confident Song Mo wouldn’t hold on for long.
Han Fangli: Nah, not interested in doing that stuff.
He’s interested in Li Chen, what’s the point of messing with Song Mo? He’s not desperate enough to do something lowly to win over a woman. It’s too disgraceful; he’s never been that kind of person.
"Everyone’s been inquiring about you lately, thinking something happened. Now seeing you’re okay, I’m finally relieved." Meng Sheng looked at Ah Chen, who was seriously frying mushrooms. "How about leaving with me? There’s no need to set up this stall here."
He seemed to have returned to when he first met her.
Now he wanted to take her away, to a safe place, protect her, and never let anyone taint her again.
Ah Chen glanced up at Meng Sheng’s persistent and supposedly sincere eyes, her smile unchanged: "What nonsense are you talking?"
"Why should I go with you?"
"What do you think you are?"
Meng Sheng wasn’t even angry and looked at her with even more sincerity, a bit of excitement: "I can really give you a future."
His demeanor left the onlookers dumbfounded; is this guy a bit insane?
Did he just get out of a mental hospital?
"Can you trust me just this once? I really want to be good to you."
"I will protect you."
"I won’t let anyone bully you again."
Ah Chen chuckled lightly, handing him the packed fried mushrooms, and said, "Is your kindness so precious? Why should I care?"
"I can protect myself; I don’t need anyone’s protection," she added.
"Maybe long ago I hoped, when being mocked, someone would stand up to help, so it’d be less embarrassing." She spoke on behalf of the commissioner, "But now I really don’t need that."
"Customer, please take your things and step aside? The people behind you need to buy as well."
Meng Sheng stepped aside, watching her busy at work.
This look of hers was what he liked the most about her.
Her rejection made him like her even more, yet pained him with her refusal.
"Is he sick?" Song Mo asked quietly next to Ah Chen, looking a bit off.
Ah Chen smiled and replied, "Not familiar, don’t know if he is."
"You used to know him?"
"Ran into him often, so you could say I know him."
Song Mo, puzzled: "Then why didn’t he help you back then? Was he also in that video?"
"Yeah," she answered.
Song Mo let out a mocking laugh, raising his voice: "Then what the hell is he saying now? What kind of jerk is that?"
He was genuinely angry.
When she needed him, he didn’t stand up. Now coming to ask her to leave with him, what kind of bullshit is that?
"Maybe he’s just a lowlife," Ah Chen said flatly, indifferent to Meng Sheng standing next to her, "Lowlifes get more excited the more you scold them."
The customers in line were shocked; were they just cursing out loud like this?
But surprisingly, they found it a bit thrilling, hey, give us more.
Han Fangli was stunned; he’d never seen Li Chen curse so harshly before.
Fans who knew Song Mo were quietly discussing.
"Indeed, this is really him."
"At least his bad temper is real; he starts cursing as soon as he disagrees."
"If the food wasn’t good, I wouldn’t come here."
"These two actually suit each other."
Meng Sheng, heartbroken, looked at Ah Chen: "Are you blaming me?"
The customers in line thought: Suddenly, the bosses’ scolding seems justified; he really is a jerk.
Ah Chen ignored him; he wasn’t a customer now. Even if he lined up, it wouldn’t be his turn. Her disregard made Meng Sheng feel awful, just standing there with his eyes red, watching her.
The food was sold out, the stall packed up.
Meng Sheng approached again, just about to speak, but saw Ah Chen with flowers, being led by Song Mo to go shopping. The small cart was left in its original spot, he’s not worried about anything going wrong with it, after all, it’s empty now.
This was just the beginning of the night market, but their stuff sold out too fast.
Meng Sheng just followed along, with Han Fangli beside.
Han Fangli said: "Never thought you were insane, when did you get this madness?"
"What?" Meng Sheng frowned.
"Isn’t it? When did you start having feelings for her? I’m curious. Since you had feelings for her, you just watched her get mocked and bullied before?" Han Fangli didn’t understand.
Meng Sheng said: "The old her was disappointing; I didn’t like her that way." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"I’ve known her for a long time, longer than Xiao Su. But she quickly fell for Xiao Su’s pursuit, which disappointed me." After saying this, he followed them.
Han Fangli stood there in disbelief, softly swearing, what a despicable guy.
Even he found it too absurd.
