"Sure." Tang Yue readily agreed, as crystal shrimp dumplings were her favorite. Each bite was so fresh and juicy that she never grew tired of them.
"Xiao Jun, do you guys want to go eat?" Tang Yue said with a beaming smile, "My treat, I'll take you out for some delicious food."
Originally feeling quite pleased with himself, Lian Qingyang's mood changed upon hearing Tang Yue's invitation. He immediately said, "Sister Xiao Yue, I want to go too."
"Why are you joining the excitement?" Tang Jun grabbed Tang Yue's other hand, standing face to face with Lian Qingyang, and said, "Lian Qingyang, this is my sister, don't be so shameless."
"She's my sister too," Lian Qingyang retorted irritably, not admitting that he disliked Tang Jun just because Tang Jun had always been close to Tang Yue growing up!
If Lian He had brought Tang Yue back earlier, he would have had a real sister long ago.
"Your last name is Lian, how could my sister be your sister?" Tang Jun and Lian Qingyang were arguing so fiercely, it seemed they might start fighting.
Wei Jiajie and two others stood behind Tang Jun.
"If you don't agree, let's fight." Lian Qingyang, never afraid to fight, said, "Regardless of whether Sister Xiao Yue acknowledges it or not, Sister Xiao Yue and I share the same blood."
"You dare to fight me?" Lian Qingyang pointed at Tang Jun and said.
Then, Lian Qingyang shook his head, "You're only sixteen, too young, lest Sister Xiao Yue says I'm bullying you."
"Let's fight then." Tang Jun had been exercising a lot these past few years.
"Xiao Jun, you…" Just as Tang Yue was about to speak, Tang Jun and Lian Qingyang had already started fighting.
Their speed amazed Tang Yue!
They just started fighting out of the blue.
Tang Yue was quite worried about Tang Jun, knowing well how capable Lian Qingyang was.
Tang Yue was thinking about asking Zhang Qiang and the others to intervene, but to her surprise, they were standing by cheering for Tang Jun.
She simply couldn't be bothered anymore. As the old saying goes, no discord, no concord. It was the boys' matter; let them resolve it their way.
Tang Yue put the things she bought into the house and then headed to the studio.
Peng Yufei and the other two also knew the group of four, including Tang Jun, as they had been introduced earlier. But now watching them fight with Lian Qingyang and seeing that Tang Yue wasn't intervening, Xin Jiaren and Sun Qing secretly peered outside, quietly speculating about who would win.
"Xin Jiaren, Sun Qing."
Tang Yue entered the model room, saw the newly made clothes, and called everyone in, including Peng Yufei. She said, "You guys might want to try different color combinations for these clothes, and strengthen the stitching here."
Tang Yue pointed out their shortcomings one by one, then headed to the east wing studio.
She had gotten a lot of good materials in Su City and was eager to turn them into finished garments.
Coincidentally, Xie Ni seemed to need outfits for several events. Tang Yue had already drafted them while in Su City, so now they just needed to be cut out.
Tang Yue, meticulous in her work, only finished when the five of them were done fighting, all out of breath. This update is available on novel·fiɾe·net
"Lian Qingyang, are you even human?!" Tang Jun looked at Lian Qingyang incredulously. Although the four of them hadn't received formal training, Lian Qingyang didn't look much older than them!
Why couldn't the four of them, even when taking turns, beat him?
Lian Qingyang proudly said, "Of course I am human, but you guys are no match for me."
In front of Bai Qing, he had lost countless times, but this time, beating these four brats made Lian Qingyang very happy.
"Sister Xiao Yue." Lian Qingyang excitedly ran into the east wing, proudly telling her about just beating the four brats.
Tang Yue glanced at him and said, "Qingyang, they've only trained for a year or two. Even Xiao Jun has only been training for two or three years. How can they compare to you who has been fighting since childhood? If you had lost to them, that would be the real embarrassment."
That statement was true. From childhood, Lian Qingyang had been a bully, not to mention the effort he put in later to beat Bai Qing. He had really worked hard on this.
Doused by Tang Yue's cold splash of reality, the joy he felt just vanished instantly.
"Big sister, when are we going to brother-in-law's place?" Upon hearing Tang Yue's words, Tang Jun immediately realized that his training time was too short. During these days in Jing City, with Tang Yue taking them around for fun, Tang Jun couldn't wait to visit his brother-in-law's company right away.
"You can train for a few more years, but you'll still not catch up to me," Lian Qingyang was shamelessly smug.
Seeing that they were about to start quarreling again, Tang Yue quickly spoke up, "It's getting dark, shouldn't we go out for dinner?"
This wasn't Tang Yue's first visit. She directly ordered the signature dishes, and to prevent them from starting a quarrel during the meal, she deliberately had them sit separately.
Tang Yue went to the restroom halfway through the meal and coincidentally ran into a drunk who tried to take advantage of her.
Lian Qingyang and Tang Jun came out just in time and saw the scene, both stepped up and gave the customer a face looking like a pig's head.
Lian Qingyang fiercely threatened, "I'm telling you, if you dare touch my Sister Xiao Yue, I'll beat you until even your parents can't recognize you."
Tang Jun wasn't courteous either, adding another kick.
The drunk, originally completely intoxicated, was now fully sobered up by the beating.
Zhang Qiang and Wei Jiajie arrived late, and upon hearing that the man had taken advantage of Tang Yue, they added a few more kicks.
The drunk frantically tried to escape.
Tang Yue was overwhelmed as these guys had beaten the man half to death even before she was actually harassed.
Soon, the drunk's friends came out, and among them, Tang Yue recognized some acquaintances.
It was Chu Xi and a group of friends, and the drunk was somewhat like a lackey to Chu Xi and others.
"Tang Yue?" Chu Xi looked at the man beaten half-dead and said, "What gives you the right to beat someone randomly?"
"Because he doesn't watch where he's going and tries to take advantage on anyone," replied Lian Qingyang, unafraid to cause trouble. He scrutinized Chu Xi and asked, "Who are you?"
"Talking nonsense, how could he try to take advantage of Tang Yue," Chu Xi almost wished she hadn't come out. This drunk was just one of their lackeys, annoyingly clinging to her, acting as if he'd marry no one but her. Unexpectedly, getting drunk, he tried to take advantage of Tang Yue.
"I saw it with my own eyes, could there be a mistake?" Lian Qingyang, having grown up in the Lian Family, wasn't afraid of anything. He looked at Chu Xi's face which was turning colors like a palette, his disdain for that drunk evident in his gaze.
A thought struck Lian Qingyang, and he mockingly said, "He isn't your boyfriend, is he?"
