Chapter 487: Chapter 487

Mai Qiqi scrutinized Xu Jiaojiao and said, "I only know Uncle Xu’s daughter, Xu Qian. I’ve never heard of Uncle Xu having another daughter."

Upon hearing Xu Qian’s name, Xu Jiaojiao’s face stiffened, and she snorted forcefully, her nostrils pointed upward, "That’s because you’re ignorant."

Such an obnoxious display, as if she’d gained power overnight, was truly tiresome to watch.

Mai Qiqi lost patience and bluntly asked, "What exactly do you want? If nothing, then stop blocking the way!"

A good dog doesn’t block the way, only a bad one does.

Xu Jiaojiao glared at Mai Qiqi with a domineering look and warned, "You’re not allowed to pursue An Zihao anymore, and you can’t see him again either!"

So it’s about An Zihao. Mai Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat, suppressing an inexplicable gloom, she sneered, "Who do you think you are?" With that, she coldly turned to go back to her car, having no time for such a delusional woman and unrelated matters.

Seeing Mai Qiqi ignoring her , Xu Jiaojiao angrily reached out to grab her hair. Mai Qiqi, with her back to her, was unaware of Xu Jiaojiao’s actions.

Just as she was about to grasp Mai Qiqi’s hair, ready to yank the arrogant Mai Qiqi to the ground, a strong, well-defined hand suddenly appeared and blocked her hand.

"Watch yourself!" Chen Ke’s cold, piercing gaze shot towards Xu Jiaojiao like a sharp sword, exuding a threatening aura that made Xu Jiaojiao step back a few paces in fright.

Seeing Chen Ke suddenly close in and the commotion behind her, Mai Qiqi immediately turned back, just in time to see Xu Jiaojiao retreating. She guessed that Xu Jiaojiao must have tried something, which Chen Ke blocked.

Mai Qiqi was furious. Where did this fool from the Xu family come from, daring to casually find trouble with her? It was one thing to be bullied by uncivilized locals back in Huangjia Gully, but if she let herself get bullied by such a moron at her doorstep in Beijing, she’d have no dignity left here!

Moreover, she had to speak to Xu Qian about this incident.

Having endured the likes of Zhang Gouzi’s family back in Huangjia Gully, Mai Qiqi, influenced by Wan Chu’er, had become a bit more aggressive. With Chen Ke by her side, she stepped forward and, with a speed that left no room for reaction, slapped Xu Jiaojiao across the face.

The loud slap left Xu Jiaojiao stunned. She held her sore face, looking incredulously at Mai Qiqi.

Ever since she returned to the Xu family, she was the one giving out slaps, and today she got slapped by this woman, Mai Qiqi.

Once Xu Jiaojiao regained her senses, she immediately lunged at Mai Qiqi with claws outstretched, but Chen Ke pushed her away.

Mai Qiqi nodded at Chen Ke to express her thanks, but handling her own affairs was still her business. She turned back hatefully to Xu Jiaojiao and said:

"I have nothing to do with An Zihao. Whether you want to chase him or cherish him, it has nothing to do with me. Please don’t get in my way again, or I’ll be rude.

Also, I’ll definitely demand an explanation from the Xu family for today’s incident!"

Xu Jiaojiao, after being pushed by Chen Ke, realized that with such a fierce person beside Mai Qiqi, persisting would only bring her more trouble.

Regaining her composure, she still couldn’t swallow her anger and blurted out:

"What are you so smug about? You’re just someone who got dumped by An Zihao, can’t even compete with a fake innocent! How dare you act arrogant with me! An Zihao is mine now. I’m the ultimate winner."

Mai Qiqi was somewhat amused in her anger. Where did such a blockhead come from! One who couldn’t even understand human speech!

"Get lost!" She commanded Xu Jiaojiao coldly, "Or else don’t blame me for calling Xu Shengyuan right now to find out what’s really going on."

Hearing Mai Qiqi call her dad by name, Xu Jiaojiao felt a chill. After some thinking, her face changed, realizing she might have been set up by Xu family members. This Mai Qiqi might be someone she couldn’t afford to offend.

The Xu family was just using her to do their dirty work. Since she just returned to the Xu family, she couldn’t risk causing trouble for the only one protecting her, her father. Today, she had to swallow her pride.

However, unable to quell her anger, she cast a sidelong glance at Chen Ke and sarcastically said:

"Humph, is he your new boyfriend? You have terrible taste, choosing someone so swarthy. But you do make a perfect match. I wish you two endless love and growing old together."

An Zihao was far more handsome, and most importantly, this man carried a gloomy air that was frightening, while An Zihao was bright and gentle.

Due to years of outdoor training and running around, Chen Ke’s skin was deeply tanned. It was more of a rich chocolate color, not nearly as dark as Xu Jiaojiao described, but his tanned skin obscured his attractive features, appearing quite ordinary if not looked at closely.

Hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s words, both Chen Ke and Mai Qiqi were speechless. This woman was the stereotype of a brainless beauty.

Chen Ke glanced dismissively at Xu Jiaojiao and calmly said:

"I’ve been awarded by the state ten times and hold a rank of lieutenant colonel. What has An Zihao achieved? My savings account has nine figures; what about An Zihao’s account? I can throw a punch that sends you flying against a wall; can An Zihao even catch a chicken?"

Mai Qiqi didn’t understand why Chen Ke said these things, while Xu Jiaojiao’s face turned colors, from green to white. Her beloved An Zihao had just been utterly discredited by Chen Ke, yet she feared the menace from Chen Ke, not daring to act rashly.

Finally, Chen Ke said, "Even though I’m so outstanding, Mai Qiqi still disdains me. I’m not worthy of her."

"So, An Zihao is even less than dust in Mai Qiqi’s eyes, and you are not even as good as the dirt on her shoes."

The final cold shout made Xu Jiaojiao shiver and run away frightened.

Who knows where she found the nerve to come and provoke someone at their own doorstep.

After she left, Mai Qiqi awkwardly glanced at Chen Ke and softly said, "Thank you."

She could have dealt with Xu Jiaojiao on her own, but since Chen Ke stepped in to help, she couldn’t play the ungrateful one.

Recalling what Chen Ke just said, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Although she wasn’t too keen on Chen Ke, saying that she disdained him or that he wasn’t worthy of her was overrating herself a bit. After all, Chen Ke had saved her multiple times, and he had seen her at her most humiliating moments. She felt she was probably worthless in his eyes.

"Actually... you’re quite good," Mai Qiqi awkwardly added, intending to give him some confidence, hoping he wouldn’t belittle himself too much.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ke glanced at her oddly and said indifferently, "I was just spouting nonsense."

Mai Qiqi: "..." This guy is so annoying!

Ignoring Mai Qiqi’s gritted teeth, Chen Ke turned and got into the driver’s seat, "Get in, I’ll drop you at your doorstep; I have other things to do afterward."

Mai Qiqi bit her lip, glaring at his back, then walked up to get in the car.
