Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 672
Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Mutual Disrespect
Jiang Xu nibbled on a piece of pickled cucumber.
Well, it tasted good.
Slightly spicy, cool and refreshing.
After he finished, he then asked Jiang Xiaoyan, “What did he just say?”
Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes flashed with a deadly aura, “The ignorant fool said if you don’t agree to duel with him, he will make sure you can’t leave this city alive.”
“Oh,” Jiang Xu said calmly, “I’m so scared.”
Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly laughed, “You could at least pretend a little to give him some face.”
Jiang Xu burst into laughter, “Can’t pretend even a bit.”
The man didn’t understand what Jiang Xu was saying, but he knew he was being mocked.
He suppressed the urge to turn hostile on the spot.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Zhou Qingyue was the woman he had been eyeing for a long time, and he was determined to have her.
Anyone who competed with him for her would not meet a good end.
“Leave this matter to me,” Jiang Xiaoyan said, taking out his phone and dialing a number.
He spoke a few words and then hung up.
“Who did you call?” Jiang Xu asked.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Xiaoyan’s mouth, “Our supplier we met this morning, of course.
I told him someone was threatening them.”
“Hahaha, you’re something else,” Jiang Xu laughed heartily, “He’s done for.”
Today, the two had visited the supplier and discussed many things.
Even though they didn’t place an order, Jiang Xu had shown enough interest, promising to buy a lot of weapons from him in the future.
Only a fool would fail to look after potential major customers like Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan.
The guy pestering Zhou Qingyue was just the son of an entertainment company’s boss, who was completely out of league with their supplier.
Zhou Qingyue listened to it all in a daze without interrupting.
Only after the two had finished speaking did she apologize to Jiang Xu with some remorse.
Jiang Xu said it didn’t matter.
The three of them continued to enjoy their meal, laughing and talking.
Well, at least that was how it appeared on the surface.
Meanwhile, that man was intercepted by a black sedan on his way to the bar.
A few burly men in black got out of the car and dragged the man out.
Whatever they said to him, the guy’s face turned deathly pale, and he nodded repeatedly.
This was the benefit of having many connections.
A lot of trouble could be avoided without lifting a finger.
Just a few words were enough for someone else to take care of the problem for you.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Xu was the first to leave.
Jiang Xiaoyan had to go to the company, and Zhou Qingyue needed to return to the crew to film.
The three split up.
But after Jiang Xu had left, Jiang Xiaoyan came back, putting his arm around Zhou Qingyue’s shoulder, “I’ve arranged for two bodyguards to follow you in secret.”
“It’s not necessary,” Zhou Qingyue shook her head.
Jiang Xiaoyan, “I’m not asking for your opinion, I’m informing you.”
Zhou Qingyue laughed, “What’s with this strong CEO vibe you’ve got going on?”
Jiang Xiaoyan shook his head, “I just don’t want some smelly man taking advantage of you.”
Zhou Qingyue raised her eyebrows, “Or would you prefer to take advantage of me?”
Jiang Xiaoyan pursed his lips, “I’d rather not, you smell too strong.”
Zhou Qingyue couldn’t keep a straight face anymore, “What nonsense are you talking about, how could I possibly smell!
I wash with saline water every day!”
Jiang Xiaoyan, “Last time you were drunk, I got close and could smell it, not very pleasant.”
Zhou Qingyue’s teeth clenched with a grinding sound.
If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, I really wanted to smash her damn head in.
What a mess this all is.
Seeing her displeasure, Jiang Xiaoyan wisely chose not to discuss it further.
Instead, she said, “Are you really over Jiang Xu?”
“Yeah,” Zhou Qingyue nodded, “I realized a long time ago that being lovesick is no good in the end.
You only avoid being bullied and looked down on when you’re strong enough yourself.”
Jiang Xiaoyan stared at her intently.
Unsure how much to believe of what she said.
“Ah, it’s kind of boring this way,” Jiang Xiaoyan sighed. “So now I only have An Nuonuo as a rival?”
Zhou Qingyue found it somewhat amusing.
Jiang Xiaoyan was also a tough one to crack.
Just An Nuonuo alone is more than a match for millions of rivals.
And yet she still put on an air of nonchalance.
Zhou Qingyue’s lips curled upwards, deciding to give her a small reality check.
She said, “Then you’ve got nothing to worry about, there are plenty of competitors here in the country.”
“What did you say?” Jiang Xiaoyan became alert all at once.
Zhou Qingyue fought to keep from laughing and said, “From what I know, aside from Bai Xiaoya, there’s Chu Youwei who’s interested in Jiang Xu.”
“An Nuonuo’s older cousin?” Jiang Xiaoyan frowned.
“That’s her,” Zhou Qingyue’s gaze drifted, “She really does look and act like An Nuonuo.
Not just in appearance but also in personality. She speaks so softly and gently that it easily triggers a man’s protective instinct.
Plus, I heard Chu Youwei is now working as an anchor in Jiang Xu’s company.
Seeing each other often, who knows what feelings might develop over time.”
This wasn’t a rant from Zhou Qingyue.
But rather, she had met Chu Youwei many times and had been left with a profound impression.
The similarity between the two sisters was striking.
If Chu Youwei had any schemes, she stood a better chance than anyone at winning over Jiang Xu.
Even if one day Jiang Xu got drunk and An Nuonuo wasn’t around, there was a good chance he might mistake Chu Youwei for her.
“So that’s how it is,” Jiang Xiaoyan touched her smooth, white chin.
After pondering for a moment, she grandly declared, “No problem, I fear no challenges.”
Zhou Qingyue snorted, “Of course, since you’ll never succeed anyway, why be afraid?”
She was now extremely clear-headed.
She had come to realize that if anyone could ‘steal food from the tiger’s mouth’ from An Nuonuo, it had to be Chu Youwei.
“How dare you!” Jiang Xiaoyan reacted as if her tail had been stepped on, “You fake tiger, how dare you spout such nonsense in front of me!”
Zhou Qingyue was also angered, “Look who’s talking!”
Jiang Xiaoyan, “Mine is real.”
Zhou Qingyue, “Who are you kidding, yours was done at the hospital.”
Jiang Xiaoyan, “You have no proof that mine is fake, but I have evidence that yours is.”
A sense of unease suddenly dawned on Zhou Qingyue, “What do you mean by that?”
Jiang Xiaoyan giggled slyly, just like a little devil, “Naturally, it means I recorded what you said that night.”
Zhou Qingyue’s face changed, “You didn’t take pictures or videos, did you?”
“I didn’t do that,” Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Qingyue with pride, “Now you know the situation you’re in, right?
Beg me nicely and treat me better.
Otherwise, I’ll send this recording to Jiang Xu.
Guess what he’ll think then?”
Just imagining such a scenario made Zhou Qingyue’s scalp tingle.
She quickly changed her tone, “Sister Xiao Yan, you’re the best, you wouldn’t do that, right?”
