"Who the hell are you to threaten my husband?"
Before Wang Song could speak, Liu Fei rushed to start, her face maliciously staring at Qin Chuan as she said, "You broke my brother’s finger, I want ten of yours in compensation!"
Liu Qiang, enduring the pain of his broken finger, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to do it myself, break them one by one!"
"Shut the fuck up!"
Wang Song raised his hand and delivered a heavy slap to Liu Qiang’s face.
Dazed from the slap, Liu Qiang, holding his face, said, "Brother-in-law, did you hit the wrong person?"
Wang Song slapped Liu Qiang again, angrily exclaimed, "I am slapping you, you asshole!"
Liu Qiang was too scared to speak anymore.
"Husband..."
Liu Fei also realized something was off and anxiously looked at Wang Song, asking, "Did Xiao Qiang do something to make you angry?"
"Get lost!"
Wang Song shoved Liu Fei aside, then moved forward and bowed deeply to Qin Chuan, saying reluctantly, "Qin Chuan, I’m sorry!"
"What?"
Liu Fei and Liu Qiang were completely stunned.
Qin Chuan’s eyes narrowed; where there is smoke, there is fire, why would Wang Song possibly apologize to him?
"Husband, what are you doing? What qualifies this loser to make you bow and apologize?"
Liu Fei became anxious; Liu Qiang also hastily said, "Brother-in-law, you are a young talent invited by the Song Family to their banquet, how can you bow to this nobody?"
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
Wang Song, shaking with anger, raised his hand and slapped Liu Fei across the face, then immediately gave Liu Qiang another slap.
"All of you shut the hell up! Dare to insult Qin Chuan again, and I’ll kill you first!"
Every second wasted now added to the Wang Family’s losses. Allowing this sibling pair to go on would make getting Qin Chuan’s forgiveness even harder.
Bowing his head, Wang Song said, "Qin Chuan, I’m sorry! Everything before was my fault, I beg for your magnanimity, forgive me."
It was not until this moment that Liu Fei and Liu Qiang were sure that Wang Song was genuinely apologizing to Qin Chuan.
Although Qin Chuan did not understand what was going on, he knew that Wang Song’s apology must have a reason behind it.
He coldly said, "Forgiving you is God’s business!"
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
"Wait!"
Wang Song hurried forward, blocking Qin Chuan’s path, and asked through gritted teeth, "What will it take for you to forgive me?"
A cold smirk appearing on his lips, Qin Chuan said, "Get out of my way!"
He was too lazy to waste words on Wang Song.
"As long as you are willing to help me, I..."
This time, before Wang Song could finish speaking, he was sent flying by a kick from Qin Chuan.
"Husband!"
Liu Fei hurried over and helped Wang Song up, her eyes red as she said, "Husband, are you okay?"
At that moment, Wang Song’s phone rang.
After he answered, the voice of Wang Jiancheng came through, "Xiao Song, the situation of the Wang Family is worse than we imagined. If the Song Family doesn’t back off, the Wang Family will go bankrupt within three days."
"Your grandfather has personally gone to the Song Family, but he couldn’t even get through their front door. Now our only option is to persuade Qin Chuan to plead for us, otherwise, the Wang Family is truly done for."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Song’s face twisted fiercely, and he growled through gritted teeth, "Qin Chuan!"
Liu Fei looked concerned, "Husband, are you alright?"
"Slap!"
Wang Song struck Liu Fei across the face, raging, "It’s all because of you, you cheap woman! If it wasn’t for you, how could I have possibly offended Qin Chuan?"
Liu Fei’s face was full of grievance as she looked at the furious Wang Song, not daring to let out a breath.
Once Wang Song calmed down, he suddenly turned to Liu Fei and demanded, "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be the one to undo it! The grudge between me and Qin Chuan is all because of you. I don’t care how you do it, but you must get Qin Chuan to forgive me."
Liu Fei looked shocked and said, "Husband, you don’t seriously want me to go and sleep with that loser, do you?"
Wang Song’s gaze turned icy, and without answering her question, he said meaningfully, "I don’t care about the process, only the result! Do you understand?"
Liu Fei shuddered all over—how could she not understand what Wang Song meant?
Just then, Wang Song said again, "As long as you can get Qin Chuan to forgive me, I will marry you next month!"
Liu Fei’s heart leaped with joy as she excitedly said, "Husband, rest assured, I will definitely make Qin Chuan forgive you!"
She had been eager to marry into the Wang Family for a long time, but Wang Song had been slow to mention marriage. Finally, today she had received the news she’d been waiting for.
"Husband, I have a plan that will surely make that loser forgive you..."
While Wang Song and Liu Fei were discussing their strategy, Qin Chuan and Xiao Mengyi arrived at a nearby small park.
After finding a spot to sit down, Qin Chuan took the initiative to ask, "By the way, what were you about to show me just now?"
Earlier at the Western restaurant, Xiao Mengyi seemed to have taken out a piece of paper to show him, but the appearance of Liu Fei and Liu Qiang had interrupted them.
Xiao Mengyi tensed slightly. Before, carried along by the atmosphere, she had been ready to show him the pregnancy test result, but now that she had calmed down, she hesitated again.
This was the prime time for her career, and she had not considered getting married and having children at all.
Today was the final deadline given by the Xiao Family. If she did not return home, the Xiao Family would send people to bring her back.
To rebel against the Xiao Family, she had come up with the idea of getting a marriage certificate with Qin Chuan ahead of time.
However, the words Qin Chuan had said at the Western restaurant had given her a new idea.
Xiao Mengyi did not answer Qin Chuan’s question but instead asked, "Are you really willing to pose as my boyfriend to help me avoid this arranged marriage?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Willing!"
Xiao Mengyi continued, "Do you realize what you will be facing once you become this shield?"
Qin Chuan was taken aback, could the Xiao Family really kill him just because he was Xiao Mengyi’s boyfriend?
Before Qin Chuan could respond, Xiao Mengyi went on to say, "My arranged marriage is with the heir of the Chen Family, one of the top wealthy families in the provincial city, and the news of the marriage has already been released."
"Once your identity as my boyfriend is exposed, it will be a disgrace to the Chen Family. By then, the Chen Family will definitely not let you off."
"Not just the Chen Family, but the Xiao Family as well, in order to please the Chen Family, will not go easy on you."
"In fact, it could cost you your life!"
"Now, are you still willing to be this shield?"
Xiao Mengyi wore a complex expression; she wanted to use Qin Chuan to resist the arranged marriage, but she felt terrible about possibly bringing him into mortal danger because of it.
Qin Chuan fell silent; he had not considered that helping Xiao Mengyi could bring a life-threatening danger upon himself.
But Xiao Mengyi was his first woman, and through a combination of unexpected events, she had saved his life.
How could he just stand by and do nothing?
Seeing that Qin Chuan remained silent for a long time, Xiao Mengyi gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I’m sorry, my request was too much."
After saying that, she stood up, ready to leave, when she saw a group of people walking over.
When she caught sight of the Crane-haired Elder leading them, her complexion turned pale.
The Crane-haired Elder spoke up, "Miss, we have been ordered by the old master to take you home!"
The intention was to bring Xiao Mengyi home, but the tone was far from respectful and quite aggressive instead.
