Chapter 39 - The Ambitious Woman

“Do you think I’m a bully?” Mr. Qin asked with sudden interest.

The woman beside him didn’t feel anything wrong, but smiled lightly, “I don’t think there is anything wrong to be a bully in such a situation. If she had behaved herself and hadn’t done anything, nothing would have happened. But…”

Qin Zhenyang gently kissed her forehead. “You are right. In fact, there is no absolute fairness in this world. If everyone lives a peaceful life, there will be no bullies in the world then. I just thought I would scare you, but fortunately, I didn’t.”

Qin Zhenyang was really indocile when he was a teenager out of psychological inversion, and he had been belted by his father at that time for so many times. Because of the status of Qin Family, he could get everything he wanted in the capital city, so it was inevitable for him to throw his weight about sometimes. However, as he got older and older, he understood many things gradually without learning, and he got more and more mature.

But even so, it didn’t mean he had become a mild person. If someone touched his base line, something would happen then just as before!

“Does it hurt? Hang in there… I’ll take you to the hospital.” Looking at the whip marks on his wife’s body, Qin Zhenyang’s heart ached so much. He’d rather have been whipped in her stead as he was a rough man and the pain was nothing to him, while his wife was so delicate. How could she bear a whip!

Moreover, when he saw the wine bottle next to the whip, he really wanted to kill Situ Liuli at that time. Such a vicious woman. He really had never seen such a vicious woman in the capital city!

He remembered that Situ Liuli had an intimate friendship with Ji Xuewei, so what happened this time must have something to do with Ji Xuewei! Thinking of this, Qin Zhenyang couldn’t help narrowing his eyes. He had known that she was not a simple woman, but it seemed that he had to be more careful in the future!

Ji Xiaoli looked at him and shook her head, “I’m fine. It hurt a lot just now, but it’s much better after going through that.”

“You stay away from Ji Xuewei in the future. If you don’t know how to handle her, just tell me! I always have a way to deal with her!” He was really not good at dealing with a woman, but there were always some people who were good at that!

Looking at his fierce face, Ji Xiaoli knew that he was worried about her, so she could just sigh quietly. However, Ji Xuewei was about to get engaged to Qin Zhenyang. It would be a bad thing if he had trouble with his family because of her.

“I know. Since she means to get me in trouble, I won’t mess with her. By the way, how did you find me just now?” He arrived here just less than ten minutes after she was brought here. It was really quick.

Qin Zhenyang kept silent for a moment and then covered the wounds on her chest with his clothes, because he saw someone coming down the corridor. That was just the waitress who tipped him off just now.

“It’s her!”

“What?” The person looked familiar to Ji Xiaoli. When she walked closer and looked at Ji Xiaoli carefully, Ji Xiaoli found out that she was an acquaintance.

“It was her who tipped me and Wei off just now. Otherwise we wouldn’t have found you so quickly.” Qin Zhenyang took a glance at the woman and said nothing then.

While Ji Xiaoli called her uncertainly, “Li Qian? Are you Li Qian?”

The waitress nodded and looked up at the two of them. When she saw Qin Zhenyang holding Ji Xiaoli tightly in his arms, she had a mixed feeling, “It’s me, Xiaoli. We haven’t met for a long time.”

Li Qian was Ji Xiaoli’s classmate in high school. They were friends that time, but they separated after going to college. Seeing her old friend, Ji Xiaoli was a little bit excited. While she was quite embarrassed as well as she was in such a terrible situation.

She was whipped, and it just happened to be seen by her classmate. How terrible was that!

But Li Qian smiled indifferently, “Are you okay? I was nervous when I saw you were brought in just now. But I am just a waitress, and my help would have just caused more trouble, so I called Young Master Qin and Young Master Wei here then. Are you okay? ”

Qin Zhenyang looked at this woman coldly, and didn’t interrupt her. The woman named Li Qian seemed to have impure thoughts actually. Although she had acted like a good person, it was definitely not a coincidence that she came here at this time. She came here just to claim credit.

While Ji Xiaoli did not feel anything wrong. She just smiled lightly, “I’m fine. It will be okay after I apply for some medical lotion then. You work here?”

“Yeah, and it’s been almost three years.”

“It was you who served in the private room just now, right? You looked so familiar to me.”

Li Qian smiled decently, “Me too. But I was afraid to get the wrong person, so I didn’t dare to call you.”

Ji Xiaoli nodded and said nothing, but thanked her again, “since you are still working, I won’t bother you then. We’ll leave first.”

Li Qian gritted her teeth and was not yet ready to leave. Qin Zhenyang realized that, so he just called Wei Lin then, “Mention the woman who tipped me off just now to Wei. Give her a promotion and a raise as the reward this time.”

Qin Zhenyang emphasized the word “reward” deliberately, while Li Qian was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she was very excited. It was definitely not easy to make a difference in Yankeju Restaurant.

Wei Lin smiled indifferently, “I’ll take what you said to heart, Zhenyang. But the position of the box manager is still not available. How about the assistant manager? As for the treatment, don’t worry. I won’t treat her shabbily!”

Qin Zhenyang smiled and then hung up the phone after chatting for a while with him.

“After Wei returns from a business trip, he’ll arrange a position for you. How do you like the assistant manager?” Qin Zhenyang said lightly.

Li Qian tried to suppress the excitement in her heart, and she almost fell on her knees. “Thank you for your promotion, Mr. Qin. Thank you, Xiaoli.”

Ji Xiaoli only felt embarrassed at the moment. Although she knew she deserved the reward, she still felt a little sad as her old friend had become so mercenary. While she felt relieved after thinking of what happened this day.

Time flew while people changed. It was normal.

“You don’t need to thank me. You helped me this time. What’s more, we were good friends in high school. You don’t need to thank me.” Ji Xiaoli smiled faintly and said, “we’ll leave now.”

Li Qian gave way to them.

Qin Zhenyang scooped Ji Xiaoli up, with shecarried in his arms from the elevator to the car. At first Ji Xiaoli felt so embarrassed since all the people coming and going stared at her, and she really was not accustomed to that. But she found that she couldn’t do anything at all, so she stopped struggling then.

When getting into the car, she asked, “Why did you do that just now?”

She referred to Li Qian’s promotion. Qin Zhenyang fastened her seat belt. Because of her injuries, he had to be extremely careful lest he touched her wounds.

“I didn’t mean to do that, but your classmate’s intention was way too obvious. She repeatedly emphasized her working years. After working for almost three years, she was still in the position of a waitress, so she wanted a promotion naturally. Since she helped us today, I was willing to reward her. ”

Ji Xiaoli nodded, “but I had a complicated feeling. She was my desk mate that time. Perhaps because we had the same experience and we both grew up in the orphanage, we got on well. Today we met each other again, but something like that happened. I don’t know how to talk with her then if we meet again.”

Qin Zhenyang smiled slightly since he felt a little funny, “Everyone will change. It ’s normal for a person to become sophisticated in society. If she really wanted nothing, there would not be a place for her.”

Ji Xiaoli was still meditating, and he calmed down finally. When he thought of the scene just now, he wanted to kill that woman so much.

After starting the engine, Qin Zhenyang said again, “Don’t keep thinking about that. You’d better think about when your wounds will heal.”

She didn’t care about her wounds, but he did!

After they left, Li Qian changed her work clothes and returned to her residence. After striving in the capital city for a few years, she finally got a job in Yankeju Restaurant, a luxurious clubhouse, through some connections. However, she was still a waitress anyhow.

After seeing Ji Xiaoli leave just now, her heart was brimming over with jealousy! They had the same experience, so they had a good relationship in high school. While at this time, she had become the beloved woman of such a powerful person, which made her extremely envious.

They were same, while they had different lives.

She knew she shouldn’t be jealous but witnessing such a tall and handsome man protecting her, she felt unfair. Women liked to fantasize, no matter how old they were.

Mr. Qin had such a high status.

She, an ordinary person, had heard about him as well, while Ji Xiaoli and he… She didn’t dare to think about that, especially after seeing Young Master Wei being respectful to them and calling Ji Xiaoli Mrs. Qin politely at the wine table.

She always thought she was as beautiful as Ji Xiaoli, but that man didn’t even look at her. He only had eyes for Ji Xiaoli!

In fact, she could have tipped them off a little earlier to relieve Ji Xiaoli, but she deliberately delayed the time as she was jealous. She deliberately greeted them when they rushed out, creating this good show then.

Those people in 006 private room were also powerful, while they came to a bad end finally. So, potentness was everything.

While no matter what, she finally took the position of assistant manager. She was not anxious, as she was still young. She still had chances to get a higher position.

What she was thinking about at this time was how to contact this desk mate in high school who she hadn’t met for several years. Their friendship had been over already, but she was the favourite of Mr. Qin, so she had to please Ji Xiaoli anyhow!

Li Qian glanced at the luxury cars speeding past her from time to time, feeling a thrill in her heart. One day she would live such a life as well, driving a famous car and living in a villa! Ji Xiaoli could get to know bigwigs, so could she!
