Chapter 1556 - 1559: The Suddenly Reserved Wenren Meiqiao

At the same time that Shen Qiang's feat of taking down a group of bounty hunters shocked the cultivation world, he was smiling as he shared a meal with several women at De Yue Restaurant, though feeling quite helpless inside.Shen Qiang had vaguely guessed that Wenren Meiqiao and Qin Yurou, the two beauties, were ready to compete with each other, but he didn't expect the situation to become as incompatible as fire and water. Throughout the meal, they either ignored each other or traded barbed comments.

When women argue, it often boils down to words over actions, sarcastic smiles over eye rolls.

Then...

Back and forth, one sentence here, one sentence there, losing even half a sentence feels like a loss.

If they were at the Heshenghe Mountain Villa, such behavior would be strictly forbidden by Shen Qiang, and no one would dare act this way.

But the current situation was different.

Both Major General Wenren Meiqiao from the Dragon Group and the stunning school beauty Qin Yurou had somewhat ambiguous relationships with Shen Qiang, but not close enough to warrant intervention in their rivalry by Shen Qiang, who could only watch.

However, over the course of the meal, Shen Qiang shrewdly noticed that although the beautiful Qin Yurou claimed to be interested in Ye Guyun, in reality, she was closer to Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, having more common topics with her.

The perky girl, Ke Bizhu, although not very close with Wenren Meiqiao, was seemingly aligned with both Wenren Meiqiao and Ye Guyun.

Especially since, in their firm belief that meat is justice, Wenren Meiqiao and Ye Guyun shared similar tastes and would eat any assortment of fish and meats without hesitation. Without even a furrowed brow, they both maintained an appetite worthy of heroes.

Ke Bizhu, however, was somewhere in the middle.

She could eat meat but also enjoyed vegetables.

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and the elegant Qin Yurou preferred lighter, less greasy vegetable dishes.

This essentially left Shen Qiang out of the conversation.

Wenren Meiqiao and Ye Guyun were animatedly discussing all sorts of meat.

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and the serene Qin Yurou, meanwhile, talked gracefully about light dishes and various floral arrangements.

This resulted in Shen Qiang being completely unable to get a word in edgewise, akin to a bystander along with the perky girl.

The perky girl Ke Bizhu gave Shen Qiang a look that said, "Heh, what a coincidence, you're just a bystander too."

With a glance at Ke Bizhu, Shen Qiang's eyes conveyed, "Don't talk, just eat, they're both not to be trifled with. Come, eat this bowl of rice to calm down."

Thus, while Qin Yurou and the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu were engrossed in their conversation, Wenren Meiqiao and Ye Guyun chatted happily.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang and Ke Bizhu quietly ate their meal, having no choice, wedged in between the two, as it sometimes is, because you never know which word might suddenly upset someone.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last too long.

The first phone to ring was Wenren Meiqiao's; even though she chose to answer through an earbud and stepped outside, Shen Qiang could sense it was something important, related to her work with the Dragon Group.

To Shen Qiang's surprise, Wenren Meiqiao seemed determined to best Qin Yurou, as after finishing her call, not only did she stay put, she returned and sat calmly eating meat with Ye Guyun.

This left Shen Qiang, who had hoped that she would leave after the call, with only Qin Yurou and the perky girl Ke Bizhu, a bit disappointed.

And right at that moment.

Ke Bizhu's phone rang; with a glance, her eyes suddenly lit up, then she giggled, "It's... Senior Sister, it's Senior Brother Zong Zijin calling, he must want to know where we are."

"Don't answer," Qin Yurou said.

Ke Bizhu giggled, directly rejecting the call.

This left Shen Qiang, who had hoped that Wenren Meiqiao would stay but Qin Yurou would leave, disappointed once again.

"Ah, what a plight, next time I definitely won't let the two of them appear together," Shen Qiang thought in despair.

But then, Ke Bizhu's phone kept ringing incessantly, all calls from Zong Zijin. For the first few times, she hung up, but after a while, not only Ke Bizhu, but even Qin Yurou sensed something was amiss, Shen Qiang, with furrowed brows, said, "Ke Bizhu, answer it, it might be urgent, otherwise Zong Zijin wouldn't be calling non-stop."

Ke Bizhu pouted, "If it were urgent, he should have called Senior Sister."

Qin Yurou chuckled from the side, "I already blocked him, he can't reach me."

Upon hearing this, with an exasperated sigh, Ke Bizhu answered the call, and the voice from the phone made everyone present crack a helpless smile.

"Hey, are you Junior Sister Ke Bizhu of Zong Zijin? Listen up, this guy made posts online deceiving us to create trouble for our esteemed elder Shen Qiang, and we nearly lost our lives because of it, so we taught him a simple lesson, he's at Racecourse Gate, come pick him up yourselves."

Ke Bizhu was stunned, then furious, "What did you do to him?"

"Oh, temperamental, aren't we? Little girl, I won't stoop to your level, listen up, he gave us collective diarrhea and scared us, so naturally, we won't go easy on this Zong Zijin. We didn't poison him, but we can beat the sh*t out of him."

"Everything's settled now, he's alive, only superficial injuries, whether you pick him up is up to you."

With that, the call ended abruptly.

Wenren Meiqiao burst into laughter at these words.

Ke Bizhu glared at her angrily, but as she did, she couldn't help but laugh herself.

"Serves him right, full of lies and deceit, retribution indeed."

Watching Ke Bizhu and Wenren Meiqiao laugh, Qin Yurou couldn't help but smile with her eyes, though she was, after all, the young master of Medicine King Valley, and no matter how wrong Zong Zijin was, this involved the reputation of Medicine King Valley, so she reluctantly stifled her laughter and stood up to say.

"Sorry, with such an incident concerning Zong Zijin, we can't ignore it, so we'll take our leave first." With that, Qin Yurou instructed Ke Bizhu, "Call 120, an ambulance is more suitable for him."

Seeing them finally leave, and instructing Ke Bizhu to see them off on his behalf, Shen Qiang could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as it would be easier to manage with just Wenren Meiqiao left, without having to tread so cautiously.

Looking at the suddenly composed and ladylike Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Wenren Meiqiao, thank you for your help today."

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao blushed slightly, a bit embarrassed, "Were you trying to embarrass me on purpose? I didn't know you were that strong, otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed in and made a fool of myself."
