Chapter 513: Chapter 0432 West Lake
Back then, they were bullied by Ye Qingfeng and always wanted revenge.
Originally, they thought they were doing quite well for themselves.
But now it seems the gap with Ye Qingfeng is growing bigger and bigger.
"It’s also kind of an interesting past event, I guess!"
Ye Qingfeng waved his hand, prepared to leave.
Since the crisis was already resolved, there wasn’t much more to say.
However, An Ruoqing called after Ye Qingfeng.
"Aren’t you coming with us to hang out?"
An Ruoqing gathered her courage and asked Ye Qingfeng once more.
She felt the gap between herself and Ye Qingfeng was widening.
Yet An Ruoqing had no way to bridge it.
This feeling left An Ruoqing somewhat flustered inside.
"I still have some matters..."
Seeing the soft, watery look in An Ruoqing’s eyes, Ye Qingfeng’s heart softened a bit too.
But then he calmly refused.
"In two days, I have to go to West Lake."
Ye Qingfeng eventually explained.
But hearing this, An Ruoqing exclaimed in delight.
"Our final tourist spot is West Lake, but it seems we can’t get in these days. Can you get us in?"
An Ruoqing’s beautiful eyes shone with a hopeful gleam.
Who knows whether she just wanted to spend more time with Ye Qingfeng,
or genuinely wanted to visit West Lake?
"It’s better if you don’t go in..."
Ye Qingfeng frowned.
"What, you won’t even help with this little favor now?"
Bai Wan’er stubbornly snorted coldly.
"When the time comes, don’t be afraid! How about you guys?"
Ye Qingfeng pointed at Gu Bai, Gu Chuan, and Xiao Yang.
"We, we won’t go..."
The three waved their hands.
Originally, Xiao Yang had some interest in Bai Wan’er and An Ruoqing.
But what just happened.
Scared him so much, he didn’t dare stay with Ye Qingfeng anymore.
"Not going, not going..."
Leng Xiang tugged on Gu Bai’s sleeve.
"Alright, I’ll contact you when the time comes."
Ye Qingfeng said no more.
Since they wanted to see for themselves, Ye Qingfeng naturally complied.
But when the time comes, West Lake may not be a scene of beauty.
It might very well be a scene of carnage.
...
After Ye Qingfeng left.
Bai Wan’er couldn’t help but grumble.
"What’s he so smug about, if my mom hadn’t taken him in out of pity back then, he’d probably be sleeping on the streets."
"And now he’s giving us attitude."
Bai Wan’er’s pretty face was full of anger.
Remembering when Ye Qingfeng came to her house, covered in mud and in rags.
Bai Wan’er kept cursing Ye Qingfeng.
She thought Ye Qingfeng was an ungrateful wretch.
"Wan’er, Ye Qingfeng just saved us, and besides, maybe he has his reasons for not wanting us to go to West Lake!"
"Ruqing, I warn you, never fall for someone like him, he’s a typical modern Chen Shimei..."
"Alright, let’s head back to my place first!"
An Ruoqing stuck out her playful tongue.
Then she pulled Bai Wan’er back to the An Family home.
...
Three days later, at West Lake, people were coming and going.
Since it was a holiday, this famous spot was even more bustling.
Many outsiders came here just to see the splendor of West Lake.
However, today, many were complaining outside of West Lake.
One team after another of stern guards had surrounded West Lake, ordinary people simply couldn’t enter.
"Stop, who goes there!"
When An Ruoqing and Bai Wan’er arrived at West Lake.
Unsurprisingly, they were immediately stopped.
"We’re tourists!"
"Sorry, West Lake is not open today, please visit other attractions."
The man in black said coldly.
Not giving an inch.
"Why aren’t we allowed in, this is a public spot."
Beside An Ruoqing and Bai Wan’er stood a man.
He was An Ruoqing’s cousin, named An Qi, whose parents worked in government offices.
He was instantly smitten with Bai Wan’er.
Upon hearing they were coming to West Lake to play.
So he tagged along.
"I said no entry, and that’s that. Are you planning to force your way in?"
The man in black, armed with guns, spoke with evident impatience.
"That’s just not fair, how come they’re allowed in..."
Suddenly, An Ruoqing noticed a nearby waterway where an elder took his granddaughter on a small boat into West Lake.
"They have permits to witness this grand event."
The man in black replied again.
"Ha! That’s funny, I’ve never heard of needing permits to enter West Lake, I’ll call your superior right now."
An Qi obviously displeased.
"Go ahead, make sure you get it right."
A hint of a cold smile seemed to play on the man in black’s lips.
Very quickly, An Qi used his connections to find out some information about West Lake being locked down.
But then An Qi’s face fell sullen.
"What’s wrong, cousin..."
An Ruoqing couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s said someone important from the city government ordered it. A significant figure is coming to inspect."
An Qi spoke dispiritedly.
He had planned to show off a bit in front of Bai Wan’er.
Who knew it would turn out like this?
They couldn’t even enter a sightseeing spot.
However, this only made the tourists kept outside of West Lake even more curious about who the person was, or what major event was happening.
"So, he wasn’t lying to us!"
Remembering Ye Qingfeng’s words from three days ago, An Ruoqing muttered.
"Who? One of your unreliable classmates again? Don’t get bullied by them again."
An Qi scoffed.
He also knew about the incident three days ago where An Ruoqing and Bai Wan’er were bullied by Guangtou Qiang.
In his opinion, if he had been there, such a thing would never have happened.
A local thug, he could have just called his contacts at the office to handle him in no time.
So now, An Qi looked down on some of the friends and classmates An Ruoqing associated with.
"Are you talking about me?"
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng’s voice sounded.
Today, Ye Qingfeng was dressed in black, exuding an aura that was cold and menacing.
Seeing An Ruoqing and Bai Wan’er, he showed a faint smile.
"Who are you, stay away from my cousin, not just any random person can hit on her."
An Qi stood disdainfully in front of Ye Qingfeng.
Looking at Ye Qingfeng with a hostile glare.
"Cousin, what are you rambling about..."
An Ruoqing’s pretty face flushed slightly.
If Ye Qingfeng really was interested in her, she’d wake up laughing in her sleep.
"Go ahead, didn’t you want to see West Lake’s scenery?"
Ye Qingfeng waved his hand.
"Ha, you’re quite funny, don’t you see us all stuck outside? Do you have vision problems?"
An Qi looked at Ye Qingfeng as if he were an idiot.
But what happened next made An Qi’s face turn red with embarrassment, feeling like he’d been slapped right then and there.
