Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Overbearing Female CEO VS Commoner Xiao Baihua (22) Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Overbearing Female CEO VS Commoner Xiao Baihua (22) However, he still huffed, “I really don’t understand, what did you see in him back then?”
Gu Shengyin chuckled inwardly and went along with his words, “Right, I was young and impetuous back then, without a clear sense of people. Xia Ziqing, with his natural charm and amorous ways, how could he compare to Fourth Master’s thoughtfulness and devotion?”
Xia Ziqing glared at him angrily, “You actually dare to tease me.” Although he spoke in such a manner, he did not let go of Gu Shengyin’s hand.
Gu Shengyin had long seen through the nature of this man; how could she fear his seemingly fierce but inwardly timid anger? A little submission and acting coquettish would render the man powerless against her.
The two left in a harmonious atmosphere, driving away.
Only after their car had disappeared, a figure emerged from behind a large pillar nearby; it was the dispirited form of Xia Ziqing.
He had never seen Tianruo laugh so happily in front of him, nor had he seen her take the initiative to hold Fourth Uncle’s hand, seemingly coquettish with him.
He had also never seen Fourth Uncle so intimate with any other woman, looking annoyed and helpless when facing her. Perhaps Fourth Uncle himself didn’t realize, in the look he gave Tianruo, how indulgent it was.
Maybe he was the one truly mistaken; perhaps Fourth Uncle really liked Tianruo, and they were happy together. And himself, he was merely basing on subjective conjectures, assuming the two were not suitable.
Forget it. Xia Ziqing finally let out a resigned laugh.
Tianruo was right; he had long lost the right to intervene in her life–whether she was doing well or not, it didn’t have anything to do with him.
A disheartened Xia Ziqing, disregarding his parents’ prohibition, went to the nearest bar and drank himself into a stupor. On his way back, in an alley, a few hoodlums stripped him of every last penny, and before they left, they kicked him a few times, calling out, “Dead drunkard!”
Wang Zhenzhen, who had just found a new job, happened to pass by and couldn’t bear to see him in such a state. She took him to a nearby hotel, paid for a night’s stay, and ordered some food before she left.
Of course, when she left, she recognized that this man was the wealthy scion who had hit her with his car previously. Despite herself, she couldn’t resist kicking him hard twice before leaving.
“Hmph, that’s just karma. Now we’re even,” said Wang Zhenzhen, feeling satisfied after kicking him twice, and then left the place.
What she didn’t know was that Xia Ziqing, having momentarily sobered up, had seen her do it.
Thus, Gu Shengyin, who was in the preliminary stage of a relationship with her lover, received news of the two coming into contact again.
“How could they even meet ?” Gu Shengyin was thoroughly impressed with the story’s development–it seemed determined to bring the two together, didn’t it?
Gu Shengyin decided not to interfere. Xia Ziqing’s words earlier signaled that he had finally come to his senses. As long as he didn’t continue to pine after her in the future, she didn’t care who he ended up with!
As for Wang Zhenzhen, Gu Shengyin had already informed her about what kind of person Xia Ziqing was and had made it clear that she had long since disregarded him.
If she were sensible, she should know that Gu Shengyin posed no threat to her. If she truly didn’t understand… a hint of coldness flashed in Gu Shengyin’s eyes.
Of course, speaking of this now was still premature; the two had just met, and whether Wang Zhenzhen could successfully get together with Xia Ziqing was still a question.
