It was also possible that Gu Ning deliberately said that to scare them so that they would let them go. However, they wouldn’t be scared just because of that.

In City Rui, no one dared to bully them, but this girl from another place dared to argue with him publicly. If he didn’t teach them a lesson, his reputation would be damaged.

“Well, let me see what you can do!” Chen Weiming sneered. He didn’t think Gu Ning could do anything to hurt him.

Once it became serious, the restaurant owner hurriedly walked over to beg Chen Weiming. “Lord Chen, if it’s a personal grudge, please go out and deal with it. My restaurant is too small.”

When the owner saw Chen Weiming bothering Gu Ning, he didn’t stand out, because he didn’t dare to mess with Chen Weiming, but if they were going to fight, the restaurant owner had to ask them to leave, no matter how scared he was of Chen Weiming. He didn’t want anything to be smashed.

Although Chen Weiming would pay him, his business today would be completely ruined.

Hearing his words, Chen Weiming frowned slightly, but he didn’t vent his anger at him. After all, the restaurant owner just worried about his business.

However, he just stood up against Gu Ning, so he couldn’t give in so easily. He had to make them beg him on their knees.

“Great, let’s go out now!” said Gu Ning, then she left the table. She didn’t want to make it difficult for the restaurant owner, but she refused to yield too.

She was innocent, so it was impossible for her to give in. If she didn’t teach them a lesson today, she wouldn’t be satisfied.

Those men were surprised that Gu Ning wasn’t afraid at all, but they didn’t think she was strong. Instead, they thought that she was challenging them and felt that they had to teach her a lesson.

“Of course, let’s go out!” Chen Weiming agreed, then walked out first, followed by his friends.

Gu Ning told Baili Zongxue to stay inside and enjoy the food. She could deal with it alone, but Baili Zongxue wanted to watch the drama, so she followed them out.

The restaurant owner was afraid that the meal wouldn’t be paid for if they all left, so he stopped Baili Zongxue and asked her to pay first.

Baili Zongxue understood, so she paid the bill at once.

As soon as Gu Ning, Chen Weiming and the others went out, other people in the restaurant talked about it.

“Jesus, the girl is so bold! Will she be injured?” Someone was worried about Gu Ning.

“She asked for it. She’s too aggressive.” A girl gloated over Gu Ning’s bad luck. She was jealous of Gu Ning’s beauty.

“Right, she must pay for her actions,” said another girl. She agreed that Gu Ning should learn how to behave herself.

A boy couldn’t stand it, so he asked the two girls, “Would you drink with a strange man if that man came to invite you?”

“Of course not. Why should we?” A girl replied disdainfully.

“Yeah, why should we drink with strangers?”

The man wasn’t very handsome after all.

That was the two girls’ thoughts, but they didn’t say it aloud, because there were boys in the room.

“Great, if you were the girl and the man threatened you because you rejected him, what would you do?” asked the boy.

“I…”

All of a sudden, the two girls didn’t know how to reply.

“If it didn’t happen to you, don’t speak. It only makes you look rude,” said the boy.

He wasn’t defending Gu Ning, but he had good values.

“You…” The two girls were annoyed, but didn’t dare to argue with him. After all, he was right. If they continued to argue with him, they would look bad.

“Why don’t we go out and have a look?” Someone at another table said.

“Why not!” Another person agreed, so they stood up and walked out.

Afterwards, more people became interested and went out to watch the drama. Not all of them were gloating over Gu Ning’s misfortune. Some were worried about her. After all, she was innocent.

…

After they were out, Gu Ning asked, “Tell me, what do you want to do?”

“Young girl, you’re really bold,” said Chen Weiming. He was slightly surprised, but wasn’t afraid.

“Don’t waste time. If you’re scared, apologize to us. We can let you go. If not, let’s fight.” Gu Ning lost her patience.

Although she knew Chen Weiming wouldn’t give in, she still gave them the last chance. If they apologized to her and Baili Zongxue, she could let them go.

“Impossible! You should apologize to me instead. If you do that, I can let you go.” Chen Weiming retorted. Actually, even if Gu Ning apologized to them, he wouldn’t let her go.

“Apologize? No way! You bothered me first. There is no reason for me to apologize to you. Are you insane? If so, I’m afraid I need to teach you a lesson,” said Gu Ning coldly. Before Chen Weiming was prepared, she rushed forward and kicked him.

Because he wasn’t prepared, Chen Weiming was heavily hit. In fact, even if he was fully-prepared, he was no match for Gu Ning.

Gu Ning only used a little strength, but Chen Weiming was kicked a few meters away, then he fell heavily to the ground and screamed in pain.

Everyone was stunned by that scene. To their astonishment, Gu Ning was extremely strong. No wonder she dared to challenge Chen Weiming.

Chen Weiming was shocked too, but he soon came back to his senses and became furious. How could she kick him?

“Y-You… How could you kick me?” Chen Weiming angrily criticized Gu Ning.

“I already did. Why do you bother to ask? You must be an idiot,” said Gu Ning disdainfully.

“You…” Chen Weiming was in fury.

“Lord Chen, are you alright?”

Chen Weiming’s friends immediately went to help him get back to his feet and asked him with concern.
