Chapter 60: You're a nouveau riche
Following the sound, Su Nan took a glance and didn't pay attention again.
A young man, probably a student, with messy hair like a bird's nest, wearing a white sports suit that was either originally gray or had turned gray over time. His face was bright red, and when he spoke, countless foam particles danced wildly in front of him. On the table in front of him were six or seven beer bottles, clearly having drunk quite a bit.
He just whispered softly, without facing Su Nan, if it wasn't for Su Nan's good hearing, he wouldn't have known what he was saying at all. The customers at other tables also didn't hear him speak.
For this kind of thing, Su Nan wouldn't take it to heart. If he were to make a fuss about every such thing, he'd probably have been exhausted to death long ago. Who hasn't been talked about behind their back? As long as it's not openly insulting him to his face or spreading rumors everywhere behind his back, Su Nan doesn't bother with what others say.
There are fewer people eating now, and the dishes Su Nan wants are quickly prepared and served. Starving, Su Nan sits down to eat and won't even bother with others.
The tree wants to be still but the wind won't stop, Su Nan didn't go to reason with that person doesn't mean nothing will happen. Three years of military life, Su Nan had long been accustomed to eating quickly, and this time he was really starving, so he ate like a wolf devouring its prey.
"Hmph!" The voice rang out again, "Dressed up like a human being, but eating like a beast. It seems that no matter how well you dress, you can't get rid of the face of a nouveau riche."
This time, the man's voice was uncontrollable, and this sentence was almost shouted out loud. The customers in the restaurant heard his words, looked up at him curiously, but saw that he was staring at Su Nan, so they focused their attention on Su Nan again.
What is called lying down and being shot, Su Nan is like that. He just came out to eat a meal, didn't expect to be whispered by someone non-stop over there. Even if Su Nan didn't want to provoke him, he pretended not to hear it, just wanted to finish eating and leave. Didn't expect that person to be more and more excessive, the voice getting higher and higher, and the words becoming more and more vicious.
"What did you mean by that?" Su Nan's face sank, and he glared back at the other person, asking in a cold tone.
"He's drunk and talking nonsense, don't take him seriously." One of the people at the same table as that person turned around and explained to Su Nan in a sentence, without even saying sorry.
He shook his head slightly, and Su Nan felt a sense of disappointment. His companion had provoked others, even if it wasn't his own business, since he had stepped forward to explain for his companion, why couldn't he just add one more sentence of apology?
"I just want to know, I didn't provoke him or offend him, why did he aim the arrow at me? From the moment I walked in, he was there talking non-stop with a very hostile attitude towards me. He spoke in a low voice, I can pretend not to have heard it, but anything can happen once or twice, but not three times. He repeatedly targeted me and scolded me over there, do I look like a wooden person without temper?"
"What else do you want? I've already explained." The interpreter shouted back in a rather unpleasant tone.
"Haha, you guys are really interesting. You scold others and just say one sentence 'I'm drunk' to get away with it? Didn't your parents or teachers teach you that when you offend someone, you should apologize to them?" Su Nan looked at those people in disbelief. Unexpectedly, there were such extreme cases, provoking others and not only refusing to apologize, but also blowing raspberries and glaring at others when they protested.
"What are you apologizing for? You're just a nouveau riche with a foul mouth, just like Li Daguang, relying on your stinky money to show off in front of Lingling and steal her away from me. I'm not done with you!" The man who was scolding Su Nan stumbled as he stood up, grabbed a wine bottle from the table, and walked towards Su Nan while continuing to curse.
"Look, you little brat, relying on having some stinky money, coming here to show off. If you really have money, why are you still eating here? Go eat at a five-star hotel." The other person also stood up, similarly holding a wine bottle and pouncing towards Sunan.
Their logic is simple, we tell you to listen and that's it. If you can't help but ask questions, we'll explain one sentence to you. But if we explain it to you and you're still not satisfied, then you're provoking us. Can't you see I'm annoyed right now? Need to vent! And since you're the same type as the person who made us angry, there's nothing more to say. Let's beat you up first and talk later.
Two more, also in the midst of intoxication, saw their companions standing up and couldn't bear to fall behind. They pushed away the chair under their buttocks, held onto the table to stand up, and similarly grabbed a wine bottle to rush towards Su Nan.
Su Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, these people were too arrogant, and they really did not hesitate to draw their swords. What was there to say about this kind of person, beating him was a certainty.
Before those few people rushed over, Su Nan stood up and moved to a more open area.
The man who scolded him was the first to rush over, swinging a wine bottle and smashing it towards Sunan's head. Although he looked brave, in fact, he had no technique at all. Sunan lightly dodged his body, letting the wine bottle pass by. Then, like lightning, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's wrist.
"You won't know how to be a human being if I don't teach you a lesson!" Su Nan hated this person for repeatedly provoking him, and with increased force, he made a light cracking sound, not only dislocating the man's wrist joint but also pinching the bone until it cracked. Even if the joint was reconnected, the fracture would take several months to heal. This was still Su Nan being lenient, knowing they weren't his sworn enemies, and only wanted to slightly punish them without leaving a lifelong injury.
His wrist was unloaded, and his hand was powerless, so he couldn't grasp the wine bottle. With a crash, the wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered into powder.
Seeing the second man rush over, Su Nan pushed him away with one hand and kicked him to the side at the same time, kicking his knee.
"Ah!" The second person cried out and fell to the ground, face down. As he tried to get up with his hands on the ground, they were again cut by the shattered glass.
The two remaining people watched the scene in front of them, as if fast-forwarding a movie, and felt dizzy and confused. Before they could figure out what was happening, their two companions had already fallen to one side, wailing in pain. For a moment, the two were stunned, not daring to move forward.
But Sunan would not let them off again, his companions scolded him unreasonably, they were accomplices, not only did they not stop, but also stood up to fight Sunan together with their companions, how could Sunan forgive them?
In an instant, Su Nan was standing in front of the two people.
"Right and wrong are not distinguished, and the wicked help each other!" Su Nan scolded, raised his hand and slapped them several times on the face. Finally, he kicked one person with one foot, and kicked the two of them to the front of the two people, letting them collide and fall to the ground together.
"Get out!" Su Nan yelled at them as he gathered his things. The joy of having just successfully refined the Wuyin Myriad Smoke had been disrupted by more than half.
"A few of them...” The restaurant owner rushed out upon hearing the commotion, and by that time, the fight had already ended. When Sunan threw them out, those people still knocked over two tables, and all the dishes on the tables were smashed to pieces.
"Compensate the boss!" It was they who had caused the trouble, and Su Nan would not compensate them. Pointing at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Su Nan commanded the four men.
They fought and fought but couldn't win, so the four of them had no choice but to obediently take out their money for compensation.
Someone compensates, the boss naturally doesn't mind anymore, as long as he hasn't suffered any losses. These days, young people all think they're very capable and look down on each other, so it's normal to get into a fight. The boss just pockets the money and arranges for the waiter to sweep the floor and reset the tables, pretending like nothing happened.
"Wow, awesome!"
A few people at another table were whispering to each other. As soon as the conflict broke out, they focused on it and saw the whole scene with their eyes wide open. Seeing Su Nan neatly take down four people, one by one, they were all staring in admiration.
Su Nan sat down again and continued to eat and drink. Those people gathered together again, discussing something in a low voice. Because their voices were soft, plus they were far away, Su Nan couldn't hear what they were saying.
After a brief discussion, they pushed out a representative, holding a wine cup and coming before Su Nan.
Although he didn't know what they were saying, as soon as the man stood up, Su Nan made a discovery in his feelings and added a bit of attention to him. However, his body didn't change at all, still looking like he was concentrating on eating.
It wasn't until the man walked up to him, standing there, that Su Nan asked a sentence, "Do you have something?" His eyes didn't lift, still staring at the beef in the bowl.
"Hello, we have something to discuss with you, may I sit down and talk?" The man's tone was very polite.
Su Nan looked up at the man, who was about his age and had a strong physique. He had an air of elegance on his face, apparently having practiced martial arts for several years.
"Sit down." Su Nan's impression of him wasn't bad, and he pointed to the chair across from him. At least the man was being polite in his inquiry, and for that politeness alone, it was enough to let him sit down. As for what he wanted to say, if he didn't like it, he could just not respond, Su Nan still didn't believe there were people who could force themselves on others.
"Thank you," the man said, pulling out a chair and sitting down directly across from Su Nan.
Su Nan continued eating, as if he had forgotten that someone was sitting across from him, staring only at the dishes on the table and not paying attention to the person.
"I'll toast you a glass." The man didn't mind Su Nan's coldness, people with skills have temper, this sentence is always correct. "My name is Bai Zhongchao, I'm a student at Pucheng University, and also a core member of the school's martial arts club." The man introduced himself, regardless of whether Su Nan was listening or not, he knew Su Nan would definitely hear his introduction clearly.
"Our school's martial arts club motto is to practice martial arts only for physical fitness, so we won't take the initiative to conflict with others in daily life. However, this doesn't mean that when we're bullied by others, we should choose to remain silent, especially when it comes to people from other countries."
