Chapter 150 The Disliked Female Supporting Character (42)
When Chen Zhiming saw Xiao Qiang, he knew he had bitten off more than he could chew. He quickly forced a smile and said, "Chairman Xiao, it's all a misunderstanding. These are just kids playing around!"
Before he could finish speaking, the blond-haired young man retorted, "Kids? You're the one who called a grown man to beat someone up. What do you mean by 'kids playing around'? How can you be so shameless?"
Upon hearing that Qin Xian'er had been beaten, the three men from the Xiao family clenched their fists, their sharp eyes fixed on Chen Zhiming.
Chen Zhiming sighed inwardly, realizing he hadn't checked the almanac before leaving home. His best intention in coming here was to curry favor with the Xiao family through the Wang family.
Now everything is ruined, all because of this blind granddaughter.
Chen Zhiming roughly grabbed Chen Bing's arm and said obsequiously to the Xiao family, "It's all my fault for having such a good-for-nothing granddaughter. Make her apologize to this young lady."
After saying that, he pushed Chen Bing to the ground.
Chen Bing was completely bewildered ever since the Xiao family arrived. She didn't recognize the others, but she did recognize Xiao Qilong.
She had seen him from afar at a banquet and knew he was the president of the Xiao family. At the time, she had even thought about pursuing him.
She only felt that Xiao Qilong was too serious and unapproachable, which is why she gave up.
Chen Bing couldn't understand how Qin Xian'er could be involved with the Xiao family.
Seeing that Chen Bing was not moving and was just sitting there blankly, Chen Zhiming went up and slapped him, "Chen Bing, quickly apologize to that young lady!"
Chen Bing felt extremely wronged. She knew she had no choice but to say reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"
After hearing her apology, Chen Zhiming said ingratiatingly, "Chairman Xiao, my granddaughter has also apologized. How about we let this matter rest?"
Chen Zhiming was no longer as arrogant as before, and he was thinking about getting this matter over as soon as possible.
Wang Yueyue was somewhat dissatisfied, "This apology lacks any sincerity!"
"Aunt Yueyue, forget it, this kind of person isn't worth wasting time on!" Qin Xian'er didn't care, since Chen Bing wasn't genuinely apologizing anyway.
It doesn't matter. If Chen Bing bumps into her again next time, Qin Xian'er won't be polite either.
At this moment, Wang Qingtian, the head of the Wang family and Wang Yueyue's brother, stepped forward and said loudly, "From now on, the Wang family will not welcome the Chen family. The Chen family, please leave today!"
Wang Qingtian had already heard about his nephew's girlfriend, but he didn't know who she was. He could clearly see the commotion downstairs from upstairs.
He thought the girl was quite nice at the time, admiring her looks and skills. He thought it would be good to introduce her to his grandchildren if he had the chance.
It wasn't until Wang Yueyue and the others came to help that he realized this was his second nephew's girlfriend; he had heard Wang Yueyue praise her on the phone more than once.
Chen Zhiming felt that everything was over. With Wang Qingtian's announcement, the Chen family had no place in Y City anymore. He was both angry and anxious, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably. He wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
They could only watch helplessly as everyone else entered the villa with the Wang family, leaving the Chen family behind...
I later heard that many of the Chen family's collaborations fell through, and Liu Chuan officially broke up with Chen Bing, with the Liu family showing their full support.
It is said that Chen Bing was introduced to an older man to help the Chen family secure cooperation…
This is all a story for later.
****
Wang Yueyue's sister-in-law, Chen Fen, is a beautiful woman with a dignified demeanor. Although she is getting on in years, she remains gentle and graceful.
Chen Fen also had three sons but no daughters, and she adored Qin Xian'er, holding her hand and asking her all sorts of questions.
This attitude was so enthusiastic that Qin Xian'er exclaimed that she couldn't handle it.
However, she still obediently stayed by her side and talked to her. He Ling was also being carried around by the women of the Wang family, without being shy at all.
Qin Xian'er was still a little incredulous that she had spoken during the chaos. She planned to ask her about it properly when she got back after the birthday party.
In addition to an exquisite jade necklace, Wang Yueyue also brought some cabbages and strawberries that Qin Xian'er had grown as gifts for Chen Fen.
Chen Fen found it rather novel; she had seen people give jewelry and luxury goods as birthday gifts, but she had never seen anyone give fruits and vegetables.
"Yueyue, what kind of new trick is this?"
It's clear that Wang Yueyue has a good relationship with her sister-in-law; she's leaning casually against her.
Speaking of these cabbages and strawberries, Wang Yueyue couldn't help but boast, "These were all grown by our Xian'er family. As long as you eat them, they will definitely beautify your skin and make you healthy, and they taste great too!"
Chen Fen rarely heard her sister-in-law mention something like that, so she became curious and called the maid to wash the strawberries and distribute some to each table.
Fortunately, Wang Yueyue took enough portions, otherwise it's hard to say whether there would be enough to go around.
"What's so great about being able to grow vegetables? What's there to brag about!" a shrill female voice chimed in sourly.
Wang Yueyue recognized her as Chen Fen's cousin, with whom she had a long-standing feud. Whenever the two met, this cousin would always try to get her attention.
However, each time, Wang Yueyue would retort until he was speechless.
"Hmph, that's still better than some people who come to my sister-in-law's house anytime to eat and drink for free!" Wang Yueyue was not polite at all.
Actually, this cousin isn't a bad person, just a bit petty. When she was younger, she got a Chen Fen necklace from Wang Yueyue.
It just so happens that her cousin also wanted it, but Wang Yueyue refused, which made her hold a grudge to this day.
"Wang Yueyue, I didn't eat your food or take your things. Besides, it's my cousin's business if she wants to." The cousin's face turned red with anger.
She added, "So you brought a stranger here today to freeload, didn't you? She didn't bring anything, and she's still criticizing me!"
The men around them were used to this scene; they'd been arguing since they were young, but it was just verbal banter and never really turned into anything funny.
They even thought this was just their way of getting along, so they let them be.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xian'er silently took out the box containing the purple gemstone from her bag and handed it to Chen Fen, saying, "Aunt Fenfen, this is my birthday present for you. I hope you like it."
My cousin looked a little uncomfortable, but still said defiantly, "I wonder what's inside. The box is so small, it can't possibly be anything good!"
Chen Fen was at her wit's end with her cousin. "Alright, stop talking!" She slowly unwrapped the packaging and opened the box.
A purple gemstone lay quietly inside the box, its deep purple color exuding nobility and mystery.
“Wow, this gem is so beautiful! I remember at the last auction, a gem of this size sold for 200 million!” said a stunningly beautiful woman next to me.
Chen Fen closed the box and stepped back. She remembered Wang Yueyue saying that Qin Xian'er wasn't a rich person.
"Xian'er, this is too precious, I can't accept it!" Chen Fen refused to return the gift.
"Aunt Fenfen, if you don't want it, I'll get angry!" Qin Xian'er pretended to take a step to leave, but was stopped by Wang Yueyue next to her. Wang Yueyue also knew that Qin Xian'er was a bit mysterious, so she advised, "Sister-in-law, just accept it. You can always give her some back next time."
"You little rascal!" Chen Fen pretended to tap her nose.
The whole family was laughing and chatting happily when a woman dressed in an elegant manner approached Wang Yueyue and said with ill intent, "Mrs. Xiao, is your second son's leg better yet? If not, I'd like to introduce you to him?"
Before Wang Yueyue could speak, Xiao Qiang interjected, "Thank you for your concern, but whether my son's leg is healed or not is none of your business, is it?"
The woman chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with disdain: "Oh, looks like you're still not better, still a cripple. Otherwise, why aren't you here today?"
Wang Yueyue touched her hair, not annoyed at all, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if this lady's cheating husband has changed his ways? Do you need me to find a doctor for you?"
The woman's face turned ugly. She glared at Wang Yueyue, but couldn't refute her. Those around them chuckled at the sight.
It turns out that this woman was Wang Yueyue's best friend, named Chen Ru. The two grew up together. Her family was not as well-off as Wang Yueyue's, and she became friends with Wang Yueyue so that she would not be forced into marriage by her family.
When Wang Yueyue was young, she treated her very well. She would often buy her luxury goods and give her money when she was short of cash.
Later, Wang Yueyue married Xiao Qiang. Seeing that Xiao Qiang was tall, handsome, and wealthy, she took advantage of Wang Yueyue's absence to drug him, hoping to create the impression that Xiao Qiang was having an affair.
However, all of this was captured by the home security cameras, which prevented her scheme from succeeding.
This time, Wang Yueyue broke off her relationship with Chen Ru. In order to prove that she had married better than Wang Yueyue, Chen Ru was willing to marry an old man who was rich but had violent tendencies.
Over the years, Chen Ru has used some tricks to train the old man to be obedient, and she has taken control of everything in the house, including the assets.
Chen Ru has also had two sons over the years, and both sons have made some progress in their careers, but not as much as Wang Yueyue's three sons.
Knowing that Wang Yueyue's second son was crippled, he openly and subtly mocked her several times at other banquets.
I never expected Chen Ru to be so brainless, daring to openly offend Wang Yueyue at the Wang family's birthday banquet.
Looking at Wang Yue's face, which was as youthful as a girl in her late twenties, Chen Ru felt extremely jealous. Why was it that Wang Yue was born into a better family than her, married a better husband, and even had a more outstanding child than her?
She added unwillingly, "This is your so-called second son's fiancée. She's not much to look at!" Chen Ru deliberately looked her up and down, her face full of disdain.
Actually, I was furious inside, wondering how my son could find such an outstanding fiancée, though I didn't show it on my face.
"Auntie, you don't need to worry about me. If you have time, you should hurry up and cover up the blemishes on your face. They're caked up and look terrible!" Qin Xian'er wasn't going to give her a nice look; her first words were a fatal blow.
Chen Ru quickly took out a small mirror. Some of her makeup had come off, but she was most concerned about her face. She pointed at Qin Xian'er's nose and cursed, "You little bitch, didn't your mother teach you how to speak?"
Qin Xian'er grabbed the finger that Chen Shi was pointing at. "Auntie, you're absolutely right, my mom never taught me that!" She then twisted the finger inward, causing Chen Shi to cry out in pain.
"Let go of me now, or my husband and son will never forgive you!" Even in this state, Chen Ru was still shouting.
Hearing Chen Ru's cries, her son Luo Batian came over, shouting, "Let go of my mother right now, or I won't let you get away with this!"
Luo Batian was tall and fair-skinned, with a slender build. Spoiled since childhood, he was completely unruly. When he looked at Qin Xian'er, his lecherous gaze ruined his image.
"Little beauty, I advise you to let go of my mother. How about this, you date me, and I'll give you 50 yuan, how about it?"
Luo Batian is truly fearless. His first thought wasn't to untie his mother's hands, but rather how to pick up girls. Qin Xian'er really despises him.
"Oh, really? Then transfer the money first!" Qin Xian'er planned to tease him.
Upon hearing this, Luo Batian's laughter became even more disgusting. "Women really do love money. Look at this girl, isn't she the same? Show me your QR code!"
Qin Xian'er opened the foundation's QR code for receiving donations. Heh, you've got your heart blinded by lust. Since you're so rich, can't you do some good deeds?
With a "click," Luo Batian's payment was successful. "Now, little beauty, can you go play with your brother?"
"I didn't take your money, I'm not going with you!" Qin Xian'er made a disgusted face at him.
Luo Batian was furious. "You filthy bitch, you just successfully paid, are you trying to renege?"
"Brother, could you please check your payment record? What's the recipient's name?" Qin Xian'er was extremely smug. "Hmph, serves you right for looking at me like that."
Luo Batian saw that the payee's name was "xxx Foundation" and was immediately filled with malice. He tried to grab Qin Xian'er, but she dodged him.
While dodging, Qin Xian'er said, "You're so disgusting, you must not have done anything good. Today I'll do you a good deed, no need to thank me!"
Luo Batian refused to give up and tried to chase after him, but was blocked by three men from the Xiao family.
Looking at his thin arms and legs, he knew he was no match for three people, so he stopped.
With a stomp of his foot, he said, "Hmph, you're bullying me because there are so many of you. You wait, I'm going to call my dad!" The way he turned and ran made the people present feel a little nauseous, wondering if he was bisexual.
Chen Ru also ran after them.
Soon after, a voice was heard: "Who bullied my son?" It was an elderly man. Chen Ru stood on his left, holding his arm, while Luo Batian stood on his right, like two bodyguards. You would have thought they were two caregivers hired to prevent him from falling.
Xiao Qiang had long disliked this family, who often came to make things difficult for him. He stepped forward and asked, "President Luo, what's wrong? Want to avenge your son?"
The old man, named Luo Tiantian, recognized him as the head of the Xiao family. He realized he had bitten off more than he could chew and quickly said with a forced smile, "Mr. Xiao, it's all a misunderstanding. My good-for-nothing son offended you. I'll have him apologize to you!"
Xiao Qiang snorted through his nose, "And your wife? Stop bringing her out here and embarrassing yourself!"
Luo Tiantian understood that Chen Ru was also involved. He pinched Chen Ru's waist, making her tremble in pain. "You two, why aren't you apologizing to President Xiao? You good-for-nothings!"
Chen Ru and Luo Batian looked at Luo Tiantian's gloomy face and reluctantly stepped forward to bow, saying, "We're sorry, we were wrong!"
Although Xiao Qiang didn't want to let them off so easily, today was the Wang family's birthday banquet, and there would be plenty of opportunities to teach them a lesson in the future. He waved his hand and let them go.
And so the farce came to an end.
