Chapter 183: Chapter 184 Long Memory_1 Chapter 183: Chapter 184 Long Memory_1 Ye Qing was utterly clueless, thinking she had intimidated Qiao Xiaren. She trotted over gleefully, shouting in a shrill voice, “Who do you even think you are, daring to act high and mighty in front of me? You’re nothing but a lowlife, you really think you can climb up the ranks just because you’re in showbiz now? In future, you’ll just be an object, selling your flesh and constantly being taken advantage of and dumped, dumped again and again!”
Ye Qing felt so satisfied from her rant, that a sense of pleasure became apparent in her eyes. Unlike Qiao Xiaren who was just an orphan, she actually had status! She wouldn’t stand Qiao Xiaren’s rivalry. Even if this woman became famous in the future, she’d still be under her feet, she thought!
“Want to say that again?”
Qiao Xiaren revealed a cold smile. The smile was actually chilling to the bone.
Ye Qing’s eyes were filled with malice: “You’re nothing but a bastard who’s lost both parents. I just can’t stand conceited trash like you.”
Qiao Xiaren tilted her head slightly and Ye Qing found herself looking into a pair of enchantingly dark eyes. She was taken aback, feeling as if the air around her was becoming scarce.
“What … What are you doing?”
Ye Qing’s voice trembled as a hand grabbed her throat before she could even react. She looked, unbelieving, into Qiao Xiaren’s eyes, now filling with a hint of terror.
She was actually choking her! The icy chill in her pupils was terrifying.
“Ye Qing, who do you even think you are?” Qiao Xiaren’s lips curled into a cold sneer, “Jumping around like a clown. You really take yourself too seriously. If you want to die, I can help you with that.”
Ye Qing’s face flushed red as she desperately tried to pry Qiao Xiaren’s hand off. But no matter how she twisted her body, she remained immobile. Now, she was truly panicking.
“Xiaren, just leave it be. A little lesson to shut her up is enough,” Liao Ling intervened casually. Seeing that Ye Qing was running out of breath, he hastily stopped her.
Now was a critical time, there was no need to stir up trouble over such a person.
Qiao Xiaren let go, and Ye Qing collapsed onto the floor, hacking and coughing. Qiao Xiaren couldn’t be bothered to spare her a glance as she left together with Liao Ling.
“Ye Qing, are you okay?” The remaining girls hurried to her side, still shaken. Who would have thought that such a beautiful and fragile girl would be so formidable?
Recalling Qiao Xiaren’s cold gaze from earlier, a few of them involuntarily shivered. They had originally planned to cause her some trouble, given that Allen Jack had praised her so much. But now it seemed it was best not to provoke her.
Looking back, Liao Ling caught sight of the fearful expressions on the girls’ faces and laughed, “It worked out great – we managed to scare them off as well, saving us the hassle of them causing more trouble. Women are like that, they love drama and quarrelling.”
Qiao Xiaren’s lips curled into a half-smile, half-smirk, “Some people are just bored, assuming that others have all the time in the world. Unless you’re ruthless to them, they’ll never get their heads out of the clouds.”
“Exactly.” Liao Ling laughed heartily, “If they dare to do the same thing again, slap them right across the face! Women care about their looks, a good slap will teach them a lesson!”
Qiao Xiaren suddenly found that her temperament quite matched with Liao Ling’s. The two of them shared a knowing smile and headed straight for Ruyi Restaurant. Upon arrival, they found out that Bai Xinran had also invited Nie Yitong.
Qiao Xiaren raised her eyebrows, looking at Shen Sichen beside her with a wry smile, “Miss Nie is really amicable, even attending a gathering of small fry like us.”
