"You two really are shameless! You even dare to break the rules while eating here, thinking you can do whatever you want just because Qin Jian is your brother-in-law?" Liang Manman didn’t get the upper hand in her clash with An Hao, so she took out her frustration on An Ping on purpose.
Otherwise, she really would have suffocated from anger.
An Ping could tell, this woman was in love with Qin Jian.
He snickered twice, looking at Liang Manman with utter disdain: "So you like my brother-in-law, huh? Have you even taken a good look at yourself? Your face is caked with a pound of flour, and your lips are as red as if you’ve eaten a dead child. You’re nowhere close to my sister. If my brother-in-law had eyes for you, he’d be blind!"
"You!! You bumpkin! You don’t know shit!" Liang Manman was so angry that her face turned red all the way to the neck, and she really looked like she wanted to tear An Ping apart.
"Enough, you two stop arguing." An Hao stepped in, sent An Ping away, and said to Liang Manman, "If you have a grievance, take it out on me, why lash out at my brother? Did he offend you in any way?"
Liang Manman’s face was flushed with rage. After stewing in silence for a while and seeing An Hao about to leave without paying her any attention, she reached out and yanked her back, saying: "How about we talk?"
An Hao brushed off Liang Manman’s hand and looked at her with a cool expression: "What do we have to talk about?"
As for those coveting her man, An Hao showed absolutely no courtesy.
"Let’s talk about Qin Jian’s future!" Liang Manman was confident that her family status could help Qin Jian in the future, so she started the argument with An Hao from this point, "My family is distinguished, my grandfather is a city leader, and at the very least, I can help him in his career. But if he marries you, this is all he’ll ever be. You’re of no help to him, only a hindrance. Qin Jian is destined for greater things, and he should have a splendid future! If you love him, you shouldn’t ruin him!"
An Hao turned around, unable to suppress a laugh, and said, "I’m sorry, but since you’ve painted such a great picture of Qin Jian, I have even more reason not to let go."
"You..." Liang Manman’s long-winded speech was abruptly cut off by An Hao’s retort, and she was livid, "How can you be so stubborn? Can’t you understand plain language? Are you just after Qin Jian’s job and money?"
It’s one thing to argue, but it’s wrong to insult.
What An Hao hated the most was being insulted. Since Liang Manman wasn’t afraid of losing face, why should she be?
"Liang Manman, the person who really doesn’t get it is you! Even if I were to leave Qin Jian, that doesn’t mean he will like you. Right now, you think you’re perfect because of your family’s conditions, but who can guarantee that a Zhang Manman or a Li Manman won’t show up? Besides, Qin Jian is mine for life! And he can only be mine! No one else can take him away from me! Even if I’m dragging him down, I’ll drag him down for our whole lives, so just give up on that idea!" An Hao finished speaking and turned to leave.
But then, she suddenly bumped into Qin Jian’s arms with such force that her nose hurt, and she was on the verge of tears.
"Why are you here? You’ve been standing behind me all this time?" An Hao, covering her nose and frowning, looked at Qin Jian.
A smug smile appeared on Liang Manman’s face: "He’s been behind you for quite some time. Qin Jian, after all this talking, you must see clearly what kind of woman you like now, right?"
An Hao was stunned. No wonder Liang Manman had said that; she had known Qin Jian was standing behind her.
She looked at Qin Jian, whose face was expressionless, feeling a bit uncertain and worried that he might have gotten the wrong idea about her.
Little did she know, Qin Jian took her hand and, looking down at her, said, "Well said. Remember what you said, you’re not allowed to let go for the rest of your life!"
