Chapter 21 - Pettiness
Shao gazed at his phone and then at Muchen, who was weirdly looking at him with apt attention. "He said he didn’t want anything to do with you and cut the call... Maybe he’s just tired."
Muchen scoffed. "He cut the call? Did he cut the call on me? Give it here." He called the number again and waited, tapping his leg.
The line connected, and a soft voice whispered, "What do you want?"
For a second, Muchen felt his whole body tremble.
’What the fuck was that? Why did I just tremble?’
"Hello? Mister Shao, I can assure you I will not sue. I don’t want anything to do with that crazy guy."
These last words snapped him out of that weird state. "What did you just call me? Crazy guy? You’re the crazy one. You fucking vomited all over my car, and you expect me to let you go scot-free?"
"As you said, insurance will cover it," the annoying boy said in an imitating tone.
Muchen gaped at his manager. "This guy has audacity. You know what, I will sue you!"
"Fine, sue me, I’ll sue you for manslaughter."
Muchen blinked up at Shao. His best friend was shaking his head and gesturing for him to cut the call. "Sue me? Are you sure you can afford a lawyer?"
