Chapter 161: Chapter 161

Sheng Jianan’s face looked extremely displeased, and Qiao Zi instantly felt the temperature around him drop significantly.

Looking at the expression on his boss’s face, Qiao Zi swallowed hard, "CEO, I’ll immediately negotiate with the school to ensure Young Madam receives fair treatment."

Sheng Jianan let out a cold snort, "Make arrangements, tonight meet that scumbag for dinner." Follow current novels on NoveI(F)ire.net

Qiao Zi shivered all over and twitched his mouth—scumbag?

Well, although people like that are indeed scum, is it really okay to call them out so bluntly?

Taking another glance at Sheng Jianan, despite the sour face, he still exuded an aura of a ruler. Qiao Zi quietly wiped his sweat away, deciding to let it go; after all, he was the mighty CEO, who had the right because he was strong.

In the dormitory, Tang Yanqi stayed in the bathroom for a long time before coming out. Her eyes were a bit red, and Qi Cheng wasn’t sure if she really cried, but the Tang Yanqi who emerged from the bathroom had already returned to her usual self, as if nothing had happened a moment ago.

She even thoughtfully made herself a cup of Banlangen herbal medicine to prevent catching a cold.

"Tangtang, are you... are you okay now?"

Qi Cheng scratched his head, "Um, earlier your scumbag called, I... I I..."

Tang Yanqi looked towards Qi Cheng with unease, "What did you say?"

"I I I... I said you cried."

Qi felt uneasy for two seconds, then flashed a bootlicking smile, "Tangtang, don’t be angry, no matter what, he’s still your man. That small matter might be serious to you, but if the scumbag steps in, it’ll surely be resolved quickly. I know you’re strong, but some things can rely on men too."

Of course, Tang Yanqi understood what Qi Cheng meant; the rumors at school are definitely a piece of cake for Sheng Jianan, but...

Tang Yanqi sighed, "Chengzi, it’s not that I’m strong, it’s just that this is my matter, not his."

Qi Cheng’s words were interrupted by Tang Yanqi, "We are together because of Grandpa, I know that. If I tell him, he might help me for Grandpa’s sake, but I don’t want that. I’m not trying to show off, I just don’t want it."

Don’t want to become even more insignificant in his heart, don’t want to be seen as a bother, and definitely don’t want him to think I’m using this as a pity play.

Qi Cheng opened her mouth but said nothing. Living in this world, self-respect and pride often torment a person severely, but a person cannot live without these, especially the girl in front of her.

Though they were the same age, Tang Yanqi appeared more mature and resilient. Qi Cheng couldn’t fully understand her struggles, but she felt heartache for this girl who was her age.

Swallowing the bitterness in her heart, Qi Cheng reached out to embrace Tang Yanqi, "There, there, Tangtang, don’t cry. Next time, I’ll keep my mouth shut and let the scumbag roll as far away as possible. Tonight, I’ll treat you to a feast as an apology, how does six yuan spicy hot pot sound?"

Tang Yanqi was amused by Qi Cheng, reaching out to pinch Qi Cheng’s arm, "How can six yuan be enough? It should at least be six-fifty."

"Oh my, Tangtang, you’re robbing me!"

"How about seven yuan then?"

"Oh come on, you are escalating this!"

"No, no, no, I’m merely grasping the advantage every inch."

"Oh jeez, you’re not even ashamed but proud of it? Where’s your face?"

Qi started to get flustered, Tang Yanqi pointed to her own face with a bright smile, "My face is right here, can’t you see? Chengzi, Teacher Tang needs to educate you, if your eyes are bad, you need to treat them."
