Qiao Yuxian stood by the car watching Dong Qian drag someone into it.
Shang Chen stood behind her, his hand always on the car door.
Just as he was about to step forward, Qiao Yuxian suddenly bent down and got into the car.
Shang Chen paused, thinking she was going to ignore it and get in the car.
Then he saw her take out a bottle of mineral water from inside the car.
While Shang Chen was still bewildered, Qiao Yuxian handed him the water and nodded towards Dong Qian’s car.
Holding the bottle of mineral water, Shang Chen understood what Qiao Yuxian meant and swung it directly at Dong Qian’s car.
The entire bottle of mineral water smashed directly onto Dong Qian’s car.
The people around Dong Qian didn’t even have a chance to block it.
The water bottle exploded, splashing water all over them.
Dong Qian’s face was splashed with water, and he was startled, sobering up quite a bit.
One of his legs that was stepping into the car came back down, and he cursed, "What are you doing! You have a death wish! Who did it! Get your ass out here!"
Qiao Yuxian walked around the car towards him, with Shang Chen following behind her.
Just by Shang Chen walking over, all the people around Dong Qian retreated.
They hadn’t seen Qiao Yuxian before, but they were particularly terrified of Shang Chen’s skills.
When forced to choose between their job and their life, they all chose life.
The moment Dong Qian saw Qiao Yuxian, instead of partially sobering up, he became completely clear-minded.
He looked at Qiao Yuxian, his face red from alcohol now turning purple and red, his eyes glaring at her, almost bulging out.
After moving his lips several times, he clenched his teeth and forced out two words: "It’s you?!"
Qiao Yuxian looked at him disdainfully, then looked towards the person behind him who was covering the woman’s mouth.
"Let her go!" Shang Chen said coldly.
The person instinctively released their grip and stepped back two steps.
Freed from restraint, the woman immediately ran behind Qiao Yuxian, trembling as she quietly said, "I really don’t have any interest in him. Please, save me, save me, my son’s still waiting for me at home. Please, save me, save me."
Qiao Yuxian turned to look at her, seeing her pale face, disheveled hair, and eyes full of panic and uncertainty.
In the dead of winter, she was only wearing a restaurant uniform, with a small blazer on top and a short skirt below.
She held her cold hand for a moment but before she could speak, she heard Dong Qian yelling with a thick tongue.
"Qiao Yuxian, this has nothing to do with you, mind your own business."
Qiao Yuxian patted the woman’s hand, looked at Dong Qian, and said, "President Dong, how can you say it has nothing to do with me."
Dong Qian repeated, "Mind your own business."
"How can this be meddling?" Qiao Yuxian laughed, "We could even be considered relatives. You have a problem, how can I not lend a hand."
The hope that had just ignited in the woman standing behind Qiao Yuxian was extinguished in an instant because of her words.
She looked at the person in front of her with fear, helplessness, and despair.
Shang Chen also looked at her.
Dong Qian didn’t understand what she meant, unsure of her intentions.
The anger on his face slowly turned into confusion. This content belongs to novel·fiɾe·net
Then they heard Qiao Yuxian say softly, "But back to the point, President Dong at your age, you’re really not suited for this line of work."
Once she said this, everyone was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand.
Seeing Dong Qian’s confused expression, Qiao Yuxian patiently explained, "President Dong, at your age. You have no physique, no stamina compared to young lads. As for looks... I really can’t find words to describe. Considering this, why are you persistently choosing a restaurant for this line of work?"
Dong Qian’s bewildered expression gradually turned severe, and he started glaring at Qiao Yuxian again.
Qiao Yuxian acted as if she couldn’t see it, continuing, "Also, no one goes to such lengths to sell themselves. The lady already said she doesn’t need you, yet you’re still pushing forward, isn’t that forced selling? There’s no one ."
Dong Qian was so infuriated that the flesh on his face was trembling, his lips moved several times but no words came out, his chest heaving with each breath.
Wasn’t she blatantly suggesting he was selling himself!
Qiao Yuxian wasn’t planning to stop talking, and continued, "President Dong, everyone prefers someone young and handsome. You need to have a clear understanding of yourself. This behavior is unacceptable. To put it bluntly, this is called what..."
Shang Chen expressionlessly interjected, "This is called shamelessness. Utterly shameless."
His voice was cold and hard.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t expect Shang Chen to speak, looked at him and then nodded slightly, seemingly gratified.
The expression on the woman behind her changed again.
The look of despair was gone, replaced with a puzzled stare at Qiao Yuxian.
"Qiao Yuxian!" Dong Qian suddenly roared.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t act like she heard him, looking at him and saying, "President Dong, I’m doing this for your good. At your age, your heart’s willing but your flesh is weak. No one’s going to pick you. Even if you had a good body and looks, people would worry you’d overexert yourself halfway through and pass away. Not to mention you have nothing. Even if we are relatives, I have to speak fairly; you can’t blame the lady for not liking you."
Shang Chen expressionlessly twitched the corner of his mouth and let out a derisive snort.
Dong Qian was furious, not only was his face red but his eyes were bloodshot.
Qiao Yuxian continued, "President Dong, if the Dong Family has any difficulties, you can tell me. We can help out somewhat. No need to be out here selling yourself at night, the lady isn’t interested in you, yet you insist on selling yourself..."
"Qiao Yuxian, you want to die!" Dong Qian, unable to out-argue her, stepped forward to hit her.
Qiao Yuxian stood her ground, waiting for him to come over.
But the woman behind her quickly pulled her back upon seeing this.
She even attempted to stand in front of her to protect her.
However, it was unnecessary as Shang Chen shifted, stepping in front of Qiao Yuxian.
Dong Qian immediately stopped in his tracks.
He feared Gu Yanjing, and he feared Shang Chen.
"President Dong, if you want to fight... come at me." Shang Chen said coldly.
Dong Qian dared not move.
The people he brought along kept their heads down, saying nothing.
Knowing Shang Chen’s prowess, a single punch from him could crush their skulls.
Shang Chen waited for Dong Qian’s response.
Dong Qian didn’t dare to fight him, yet was unwilling to give in.
He stood in front of Shang Chen for quite a while, weighing the pros and cons. Eventually, he averted his gaze, reluctantly stepping back.
Qiao Yuxian softly laughed behind Shang Chen, then advised the woman to leave quickly, suggesting she find another job.
And as Dong Qian listened to her laugh, he trembled.
Trembled till he was dizzy and nauseated.
And just then, Shang Chen added, "President Dong, it’s best if you stop selling yourself, it tarnishes the Dong Family’s reputation. Plus, your complexion looks overworked."
Qiao Yuxian burst out with a loud laugh.
Shang Chen’s expression and emotions remained unchanged.
He looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian laughed and said "Let’s go," and he followed her as she walked away.
Leaving only Dong Qian standing there, trembling, finally falling backward in anger, caught by those he brought along...
