Chapter 71: Face-slapping (2)

In Zhu Bocheng’s opinion, Sister Shuyan’s skills were first class and they had an extraordinary relationship. Her character was also good, and she naturally couldn’t be compared with other women. Using “woman” or “girlfriend” in relation to Qi Zhenbai would sully Sister Shuyan; only the word “wife” was the most appropriate. Besides, it wasn’t without reason; it was only a matter of time before Sister Shuyan became Zhenbai’s wife.

What Zhu Bocheng took for granted wasn’t the same thing in Chi Shuyan’s ears. Hearing Zhu Bocheng’s words, the corners of her mouth twitched. When did she become the wife of the man in front of her?

Following Zhu Bocheng’s gaze, she saw a tall, upright man with a slender figure standing next to a low-key luxury Maybach.

Qi Zhenbai was dressed in his usual well-pressed suit and polished black leather shoes. His hair was as black as ink and meticulously styled, and his deep phoenix eyes, high nose bridge and handsome face were on display. Hearing Zhu Bocheng’s greeting, he strode toward the two of them on strong, long and slender legs, walking unhurriedly and elegantly.

Chi Shuyan’s pupils shrank when she saw Qi Zhenbai coming over. Her muddled thoughts shook the moment she saw him, and she couldn’t help going on full alert.

She couldn’t be blamed for making a big deal out of it. It was just that this man had left a huge shadow on her the last time they met. In just a few encounters, he had exposed almost all her trump cards. It could be said that she was afraid to see this man.

“Zhenbai, what a coincidence, why are you here too?” Zhu Bocheng greeted smilingly, then suddenly recalled something and blinked as he said strangely, “Oh, I know, you must have known that Sister Shuyan is here, so you deliberately rushed…”

Zhu Bocheng was about to tease Zhenbai and Sister Shuyan a bit and help his good friend get into her good books, in case Zhenbai’s usual cold face outright scared her away. Chi Shuyan, however, couldn’t wait for the two people in front of her to treat her as transparent and ignore her directly. Who would have thought that conversely, Zhu Bocheng would keep mentioning her in front of the other man, intentionally or otherwise. Chi Shuyan was at a loss for words. Feeling his faint gaze on her, Chi Shuyan wasn’t happy, and her heart turned chilly instead as her entire body turned cold.

Qi Zhenbai’s cold slender eyes were as sharp as a falcon’s. He had seen the two of them leaning against each other earlier from a distance, but now that he was close, he could see their private little movements even more clearly. The line of his firm chin tightened slightly, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line. He looked majestic but not angry.

He seemed to glance casually at Zhu Bocheng holding Chi Shuyan’s arm, then he quickly averted his eyes and directly ignored Chi Shuyan on the side as he said to Zhu Bocheng, “I was working nearby and happened to be passing by.”

“Zhenbai, why didn’t you say so earlier? Otherwise, I would have gotten you to see Sister Shuyan’s prowess with your own eyes today.” Zhu Bocheng praised excitedly, “Today, a child jumped off a building in Sandalwood Gardens. It’s on the eighth floor and so high up. Fortunately, Sister Shuyan took action and waved her hand, and the child was fine. Otherwise, I really don’t know how it would have ended.”

When Qi Zhenbai heard this, his face was calm, but his phoenix eyes flickered. “Is that so?”

Chi Shuyan listened to Zhu Bocheng’s praises helplessly, and faced with Qi Zhenbai’s probing gaze, her guard didn’t drop, but went up instead. She forced herself to be as calm as usual, and she gave a faint and distant smile as she said, “Young Master Zhu is too kind. Young Master Qi, don’t take it too heart.”

“It’s Miss Chi who’s being too modest.” Qi Zhenbai’s phoenix eyes gave her a deep and meaningful look.

Chi Shuyan’s smile was reserved and polite; she was disinclined to probe deeper into Qi Zhenbai’s words. Abiding by the principle of saying less to make fewer mistakes, she said to Qi Zhenbai, “Young Master Qi, I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t chat with you now. Let’s talk later when there’s time.” She turned her head and looked at Zhu Bocheng on the side.

“That’s right, that’s right. Sister Shuyan is a bit unwell. Zhenbai, I’ll send her back first,” Zhu Bocheng hurriedly said.

Ready to get into the car, Chi Shuyan was just about to sigh with relief, when a cold voice rang out. “Bocheng, although it wasn’t a serious accident, it can easily result in subsequent issues if the aftermath isn’t handled properly. Uncle hasn’t come out yet; I’m afraid he’ll be very busy with trivial matters for a while.” Qi Zhenbai’s voice was low and pleasant like a cello as he spoke slowly.

Zhu Bocheng was stunned and somewhat moved. It was true that his father had been hard-pressed while dealing with these mishaps during this joint project.

“Young Master Zhu, if that’s the case, go and help Uncle first; I’ll take a taxi back myself,” Chi Shuyan said quickly.

“That won’t do. How can I let you take a taxi when you’re not feeling well?” Zhu Bocheng immediately refused and looked at the tall and slender Qi Zhenbai on the side. His eyes flickered and he grinned. “Zhenbai, Sister Shuyan isn’t feeling well. Can you give her a ride?”

“No need, I’ll take a taxi myself!” As soon as she heard Zhu Bocheng’s suggestion, Chi Shuyan couldn’t even maintain her smile and quickly refused.

Qi Zhenbai, on the other hand, looked cold and seemed to completely ignore her existence as he pondered for a moment before nodding slightly at Zhu Bocheng.

Chi Shuyan: “…”

On the other side, Yang Xinde’s eyes burned as he stared intently at the yellow talisman around the neck of the child who had just been carried down and was now calm. Before getting the story out of Father Zhu, he wouldn’t have coveted this talisman despite witnessing that Celestial Master’s mystical methods. But he remembered what Father Zhu said. Mother Zhu fell down the stairs but had been fine because of this talisman. Also, that Young Master Zhu was fine after his car crashed and was burned down to its frame because of this Protective Talisman. There was a storm in the depths of Yang Xinde’s heart when he found out. This talisman was definitely extraordinarily good stuff and could even preserve one’s life. He was shocked and filled with even more regret at the same time. If he hadn’t been fooled into offending that Celestial Master, he could have asked for a few talismans at a high price and that Celestial Master might have agreed. At this moment, however, Yang Xinde was afraid that approaching that Celestial Master would remind her that he had offended her.

Thus, he could only stare intently at the talisman hanging from the neck of the lucky kid in front of him. The more he stared, the hotter his heart became. Greed flashed in his heart and he really wanted to snatch it away immediately. However, that Celestial Master had given this talisman to the boy. Although he was greedy, how could he dare swipe it? He gritted his teeth and decided to build a good relationship with Father Zhu. Maybe Father Zhu could allay his relationship with that Celestial Master. By then, obtaining the talisman would be a piece of cake.

The more Yang Xinde thought about it, the hotter his heart became. Seeing no sign of Father Zhu, he immediately called him and said eagerly, “Brother Zhu, how are you doing? Is that Celestial Master still around? I really failed to recognize such a dignitary today. I wish I could dig my eyes out right now. I’m really sorry, Brother Zhu. Can you help me talk to the Celestial Master? In a few days, I, Yang Xinde, will personally host the Celestial Master and humbly ask for forgiveness. If this is possible, you will be my big brother from now on. Don’t you want that piece of land in Hengdong, Brother? I can make the decision right now and sell it to you at a low price!”

Father Zhu was well aware of Yang Xinde’s character. He looked kind and benevolent, but in truth, he was a business shark who also had the nickname Grandet[1]. Usually, getting him to shed blood was harder than reaching the sky. Now, however, he had directly brought up that piece of land in Hengdong. Father Zhu was deeply moved, but even more so by the abilities of Bocheng’s friend. He had deliberately revealed what happened before to Yang Xinde simply to slap the man’s face properly. Whether or not the little girl would be his daughter-in-law in the future, no one could bully her like that.

Seeing that Father Zhu didn’t agree, Yang Xinde hurriedly said, “Brother Zhu, how about I include that piece of land in Hengxi? I really want to apologize to that Celestial Master face-to-face. Brother, you must agree!”
