Chapter 484: Chapter 458: Instantly Understand (Thanks to kateliu Langyuan Xianhua +4)
“Chen Xiaoqian, there’s something I need to tell you, but you need to be mentally prepared,” came Zheng Xu’s composed voice.
“Okay, go ahead.”
“Fourth Brother Yu’s aunt is planning to report your unauthorized medical practice to your school. I found out that she was the one who sent people to investigate you before. Be prepared.”
“…” Why wouldn’t she just go away?
If Zheng Xu hadn’t mentioned it, Xiao Qian would have almost forgotten about the existence of such an annoying person.
“Chen Xiaoqian, did you hear me?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t take this matter lightly. She’s been plotting for a long time. She not only found out about you treating Tang Daye’s daughter’s anorexia, but she also contacted your high school homeroom teacher to accuse you of misconduct at his home. The most troublesome thing is that she seems to have traced your travel records and discovered that you’re still treating a girl named Jingjing.”
“Hehe.”
How busy must the aunt be to not have exhausted herself yet?
Was she scrutinizing herself with a magnifying glass?
“My people didn’t say anything but gave her some fake information. However, she seems to have used other forces to investigate further. I will keep looking to see who would dare to mess with my people without my permission.”
There was unmistakable anger in Zheng Xu’s words.
Xiao Qian was not affected by the aunt’s constant barking, instead, she found Zheng Xu’s reaction interesting.
“How does it feel to have someone pry into your affairs?”
“If I find out who dares to investigate you behind my back, I’ll break her legs!”
Master Xu’s influence in Qiang City was not to be underestimated. Even so, someone had the guts to investigate Xiao Qian without his permission and in great detail, which must mean that person had considerable power.
Feeling ashamed, Zheng Xu knew he had to get his revenge. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just lose face in front of Xiao Qian, but also tarnish his own reputation as Master Xu.
“Enough, I got it. Don’t worry about it.” Xiao Qian consoled Zheng Xu instead.
Her big heart astounded him.
“Chen Xiaoqian, you’re not even concerned about this…”
Realizing that his words were inappropriate, Zheng Xu stopped abruptly, but Xiao Qian caught on to it.
“Yeah, I’m not worried, but you are. Little Xu, don’t worry, I have never been afraid of anyone in my life, let alone a menopausal old lady who’s courting death. What could she do to me?”
“It seems that she wants to pressure your school. Do you need my help?”
“No, I’ll handle it myself.”
“Then I won’t interfere with you…Chen Xiaoqian, why does your voice sound strange?” Zheng Xu wanted to ask this question earlier.
Xiao Qian lazily stretched her body, “What were you doing last night?”
“I was with—”
Master Xu’s life was never dull, but he almost let the truth slip out and stopped himself abruptly.
“What does that have to do with your hoarse voice?”
“Because, whatever you did last night, I did too. Get it?”
“Beep beep~”
The busy signal sounded from the other end of the line. Xiao Qian shrugged, he had hung up.
Zheng Xu’s patience was wearing thin, he couldn’t even bear to listen to her flaunt their affection.
It seemed that the anger Xiao Qian had aroused in him would be vented on the unlucky person who dared to investigate her behind his back.
Xiao Qian enjoyed the ensuing drama, which was precisely the result she wanted. That person who had investigated her deserved it!
As for the aunt… Xiao Qian sighed, Miss Yu had truly suffered numerous defeats, yet she persisted. Despite being trampled upon by Yu Minglang, Yu Mingxi, and Yu Mingyi, her son was sent by Yu Minglang to a harsh environment to gain experience, and her husband’s promising career was brought to an early retirement because of her. Yu Minglang even mentioned Second Brother confronting the aunt directly because of Da Yi’s actions.
It was said that her uncle was so angry that he wanted a divorce, and yet, the twisted old lady still hadn’t given up on making Xiao Qian’s life miserable.
This was simply illogical…
Xiao Qian guessed that there must be something to have provoked the aunt like this, but she realized that the aunt’s actions this time were even less clever than before, it was an insult to a dog’s intelligence to say she was cornered.
With the evidence the aunt collected, which was limited to Xiao Qian’s high school homeroom teacher, there was no way she could make any significant progress.
As for the others, who would testify?
Tang Daye was her godfather, and his influential family would never publicly admit that their daughter had a history of mental illness. As for Jingjing’s family, they had moved from Qiang City to Lin City and changed their names to hide from their past. How could they possibly cooperate with the aunt to accuse Xiao Qian of unauthorized medical practice?
Xiao Qian decided to give the aunt a taste of her own medicine. She wanted this old lady to stop causing trouble once and for all. She didn’t even bother to inform Xiao Qiang, who had his hands full at work. This time, Xiao Qian would make the final decision.
Xiao Qian already had a plan in mind, and was confident that this time she would finally rid herself of her aunt’s constant interference. She didn’t even bother to dwell on it any further.
Just as Shi Touyu called to ask her why she hadn’t returned, Xiao Qian checked out of her room and went to find him. The two of them, along with Qiuqiu, went to enjoy some barbecued skewers at the night market that evening. Unfortunately, the one-eyed boss who used to sell the delicious skewers was no longer there, and the skewers from the new stands were clearly not as good.
“Boss Qian, you guys really blew up your dorm?” Qiuqiu asked Xiao Qian.
Shi Touyu was squabbling with Xiao Qian over the last chicken wing skewer. She spat at the chicken wing, and then Xiao Qian spitefully poured chili powder on Shi Touyu’s plate, since he wasn’t allowed to eat spicy food because of his acne. They both ultimately lost the battle.
Grudgingly, Xiao Qian watched Shi Touyu eat the last chicken wing, venting her frustration on a skewer of meat. “It wasn’t a real explosion. We just had to repaint the walls. We contributed to the campus development.”
“Isn’t that still considered an explosion? I find that both your public and private images are worlds apart. It’s as though there are two different souls in your bodies. Boss Qian’s versatile image aside, Shi Touyu, your personality has changed drastically since you came back from vacation. Do you have a split personality?” Qiuqiu teased.
Listening to Qiuqiu’s words, a light bulb went off in Xiao Qian’s head. Looking at Shi Touyu, she suddenly understood – oh, so that was how Hu Meijing functioned.
