âChen Xiaoqian, thereâs something I need to tell you, but you need to be mentally prepared,â came Zheng Xuâs composed voice.
âOkay, go ahead.â
âFourth Brother Yuâs 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.â
ââ¦â Why wouldnât she just go away?
If Zheng Xu hadnât mentioned it, Xiao Qian would have almost forgotten about the existence of such an annoying person.
âChen Xiaoqian, did you hear me?â
âYeah.â
âDonât take this matter lightly. Sheâs been plotting for a long time. She not only found out about you treating Tang Dayeâs daughterâs 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 youâre still treating a girl named Jingjing.â
âHehe.â
How busy must the aunt be to not have exhausted herself yet?
Was she scrutinizing herself with a magnifying glass?
âMy people didnât 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.â
There was unmistakable anger in Zheng Xuâs words.
Xiao Qian was not affected by the auntâs constant barking, instead, she found Zheng Xuâs reaction interesting.
âHow does it feel to have someone pry into your affairs?â
âIf I find out who dares to investigate you behind my back, Iâll break her legs!â
Master Xuâs 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 wouldnât just lose face in front of Xiao Qian, but also tarnish his own reputation as Master Xu.
âEnough, I got it. Donât worry about it.â Xiao Qian consoled Zheng Xu instead.
Her big heart astounded him.
âChen Xiaoqian, youâre not even concerned about thisâ¦â
Realizing that his words were inappropriate, Zheng Xu stopped abruptly, but Xiao Qian caught on to it.
âYeah, Iâm not worried, but you are. Little Xu, donât worry, I have never been afraid of anyone in my life, let alone a menopausal old lady whoâs courting death. What could she do to me?â
âIt seems that she wants to pressure your school. Do you need my help?â
âNo, Iâll handle it myself.â
âThen I wonât interfere with youâ¦Chen Xiaoqian, why does your voice sound strange?â Zheng Xu wanted to ask this question earlier.
Xiao Qian lazily stretched her body, âWhat were you doing last night?â
âI was withââ
Master Xuâs life was never dull, but he almost let the truth slip out and stopped himself abruptly.
âWhat does that have to do with your hoarse voice?â
âBecause, whatever you did last night, I did too. Get it?â
âBeep beep~â
The busy signal sounded from the other end of the line. Xiao Qian shrugged, he had hung up.
Zheng Xuâs patience was wearing thin, he couldnât 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 husbandâs promising career was brought to an early retirement because of her. Yu Minglang even mentioned Second Brother confronting the aunt directly because of Da Yiâs actions.
It was said that her uncle was so angry that he wanted a divorce, and yet, the twisted old lady still hadnât given up on making Xiao Qianâs life miserable.
This was simply illogicalâ¦
Xiao Qian guessed that there must be something to have provoked the aunt like this, but she realized that the auntâs actions this time were even less clever than before, it was an insult to a dogâs intelligence to say she was cornered.
With the evidence the aunt collected, which was limited to Xiao Qianâs 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 Jingjingâs 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 didnât 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 auntâs constant interference. She didnât even bother to dwell on it any further.
Just as Shi Touyu called to ask her why she hadnât 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.
âBoss Qian, you guys really blew up your dorm?â 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 Touyuâs plate, since he wasnât 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. âIt wasnât a real explosion. We just had to repaint the walls. We contributed to the campus development.â
âIsnât that still considered an explosion? I find that both your public and private images are worlds apart. Itâs as though there are two different souls in your bodies. Boss Qianâs versatile image aside, Shi Touyu, your personality has changed drastically since you came back from vacation. Do you have a split personality?â Qiuqiu teased.
Listening to Qiuqiuâs words, a light bulb went off in Xiao Qianâs head. Looking at Shi Touyu, she suddenly understood â oh, so that was how Hu Meijing functioned.
