Chapter 429: Chapter 429
A group of three got into the white Audi.
Zhang Xiaohao drove the car, heading towards Starlight Hotel under Cheng Tianxue’s direction.
Twenty minutes later.
The white Audi stopped at the entrance of Starlight Hotel.
A doorman quickly ran over, respectfully opening the car doors for Zhang Xiaohao and his companions.
"Here’s a tip for you!" Zhang Xiaohao casually pulled out five hundred yuan and handed it over.
"Thank you, boss!" the doorman said excitedly.
"Park the car properly!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
He casually tossed the keys to him.
"Yes, boss," the doorman replied.
"Let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
His gaze inadvertently flickered to the word "Starlight", and Zhang Xiaohao’s face showed embarrassment.
The first time he met Cheng Tianxue, she and Zhang Jing were drunk and had rented a room here.
However, they were reported by the beautiful receptionist, which caused quite a commotion.
"Wait!" Cheng Tianxue said. This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
"What’s up?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
Cheng Tianxue gave him a calm look, intimately hooking her arm in Zhang Xiaohao’s.
"Let’s go!" Cheng Tianxue said.
"Wait!" Zhou Yating suddenly spoke up.
"What’s up?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.
"Sister Tianxue, may I borrow Brother Xiaohao’s arm for a moment?" Zhou Yating said with a smile.
Cheng Tianxue nodded generously.
Zhou Yating walked up to Zhang Xiaohao and naturally latched onto his left arm.
"Let’s go!" Zhou Yating said.
"..." Zhang Xiaohao was rendered speechless.
He stepped towards the hotel entrance.
"Hey! Isn’t that Cheng Tianxue?" Just as the three were about to enter, an astonished cry rang out.
Following that, a garishly dressed young woman, arm in arm with a pretty boy, approached from behind.
"It’s you, Chen Baifeng!" Cheng Tianxue furrowed her brows, speaking with a hint of disgust.
"What’s the matter! Seeing me, your old classmate, isn’t it a surprise?" Chen Baifeng deliberately emphasized the word "surprise".
"Surprised? Not at all, but I am somewhat disgusted!" Cheng Tianxue replied coolly.
"You..." Chen Baifeng was furious.
Glancing at Zhang Xiaohao, who was holding onto Cheng Tianxue, her eyes shifted as she said,
"Cheng Tianxue, I heard you got married, to a man who moved into your house. This one surely isn’t your husband, is he?" Chen Baifeng said sarcastically.
Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes turned cold, just as he was about to step forward, an arm held him back.
Cheng Tianxue gave him a look, indicating she had it under control.
"Chen Baifeng, you sure switch boyfriends fast! Which number is this one? Back in university, your reputation was quite the talk of the town! One minute there were rumors of you in some hotel room, the next in some grove getting down to business! Have you finally made up your mind to find a long-term ’comrade-in-arms’?" Cheng Tianxue said mockingly.
"Bastard! Cheng Tianxue, don’t you go too far!" Chen Baifeng roared with a dark expression.
"Which eye of yours has seen me go too far? I’m merely stating a fact, alright!" Cheng Tianxue shrugged as she spoke.
"Hmph! You’re still as arrogant as ever! But the man you’ve chosen is just too weak!" Chen Baifeng sneered.
"I think he’s quite acceptable! At least he’s better than your umpteenth boy toy," Cheng Tianxue retorted.
"Hmph! Do you dare let them compete against each other?" Chen Baifeng challenged.
"Are you not embarrassed enough? From our freshman year to senior year, tell me! With so many contests between us, when have you ever beaten me? Hold on, don’t get too excited, I do remember something I’m indeed inferior at in comparison to you!" Cheng Tianxue said.
"Of course!" Chen Baifeng said proudly.
"Yes, indeed! As a conservative woman like myself, I couldn’t possibly engage in such reckless behavior as changing men multiple times in a single day! In this regard, you’ve certainly outdone me," Cheng Tianxue nodded and admitted.
"You, you jerk!" Chen Baifeng was infuriated.
She felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.
With a devious glint in her eye, Chen Baifeng sneered, "The past is in the past. If you’re brave enough, let’s have a match right now!"
"With others I might have reservations, but against you, I could win even with my eyes closed! It’s not that I’m too strong, but rather you’re too weak!" Cheng Tianxue declared disdainfully.
"Tell me, how do you want to compare?"
"Hmph-hmph!" Chen Baifeng let out a cold snort before replying.
"Men’s matters, naturally, should be settled in men’s ways!"
"Do you want them to have a one-on-one duel?" Cheng Tianxue asked, with an amused tone.
"Are you scared? Haha! I knew it, even Cheng Tianxue has her fears!" Chen Baifeng laughed triumphantly.
"Me, scared of you? You’re dreaming," Cheng Tianxue responded.
"Then what are you suggesting?" Chen Baifeng inquired.
"If it’s a contest, there should be a bit of a stake, shouldn’t there? I hear your Chen Martial Arts Hall is quite prosperous, having recruited a good number of disciples. Just one semester’s tuition fees amount to several millions," Cheng Tianxue said.
"Of course! My Chen Martial Arts Hall is prosperous and cannot be compared to your shoddy company!" Chen Baifeng boasted.
"Yes, I agree. For this contest, let’s each put up one billion as a wager! Of course, if you’re scared or don’t have that kind of money, I won’t look down on you! After all, you’re a lady of the household!" Cheng Tianxue said.
She purposely emphasized heavily on the term "lady of the household."
The Chen Martial Arts Hall had an unwritten rule.
The Chen Family passed on martial arts exclusively to males, even the most basic martial techniques were not taught to females!
Although the Family Head adored his daughter, the ancestral teachings were unbreakable, and to this day she had not been taught a single punch or kick.
"You bastard! I’ll take you on! It’s just one billion, isn’t it? I can afford that," Chen Baifeng gritted her teeth and said.
"Junior Sister, we don’t have that much money on us!" the pretty boy said.
"Dao Tianlong! Shut your mouth! This is between her and me, so stay out of it!" Chen Baifeng snapped.
Gritting her teeth, she pulled out a check for one billion.
"Ah! Junior Sister, that’s the money our group of brothers collected for our master’s birthday celebration! We can’t touch that!" Dao Tianlong said anxiously.
Chen Baifeng swung her hand and landed a solid slap on his face.
"Dao Tianlong, did you not hear me tell you to shut up? Dare to utter another useless word, and we’re breaking up!" Chen Baifeng threatened coldly.
Cowering before her cold and ruthless gaze, Dao Tianlong shrank back.
"Here’s a check for one billion, Cheng Tianxue, where’s your money?" Chen Baifeng sneered.
"Honey, where’s the money?" Cheng Tianxue asked Zhang Xiaohao while hugging his arm and smiling.
"..." Zhang Xiaohao was speechless.
"Haha! I knew it! Your pathetic company can’t possibly come up with one billion in cash! You don’t have the money, yet you’re here showing off; don’t you find it embarrassing, Cheng Tianxue?" Chen Baifeng laughed smugly.
"Honey, where’s the money?" Cheng Tianxue asked with a beaming smile.
A jade hand reached for Zhang Xiaohao’s waist and pinched forcefully.
