Chapter 121: Two Proud Men!
The snail in the corner, who had been secretly listening to their conversation, was taken aback by Qin Luo's question and turned its head to give him a thumbs up.
As far as he knew, this guy was the first one who dared to speak like that in front of Da Shao.
No wonder others look down on that woman, it seems she likes this kind of unusual man.
"But I'm also quite unusual. Why don't those girls want to go on a date with me?"
Qin's hands, which were holding the teacup, paused for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. He drained the tea from the cup in one gulp, and then gazed thoughtfully at Qin Luo.
"This is an interesting question." Qin Zong said to Qin Luo.
"Your question is also very interesting," Qin Luo retorted.
"So you're saying that you might show up at the banquet that day? In the case where I forgot to send you an invitation?" Qin asked straightforwardly.
Whether he is an enemy or a friend will be decided by one word.
Qin Luo's gaze met Qin Zongheng's, with no intention of backing down. He smiled and said: "Three days later? Who knows? Maybe that day I'll be really busy, maybe I won't have anything to do at all. I'm a laid-back person, I don't like to think too far ahead. Being able to make the most of each upcoming day is already a kind of luck for me."
"I didn't think of attending any birthday banquet either. Just now, I was worried that you would invite me. In that case, I would have to worry about a problem. At least, I would have to send out a red envelope that wouldn't look too shabby and wouldn't make me feel heartbroken."
"But my time is mine alone to dispose of. Not even my grandfather has the right to interfere, let alone others. Whether I have time three days later or not, only I know. Maybe I'm busy, but I can also spare some time to go."
If this guy is okay with himself saying that he likes Wen Ren Mu Yue, I'll pursue him at the banquet. Brother, help me out and create an opportunity for me.
Perhaps Qin Luo was in a good mood and really agreed. After all, he had already divorced Wen Renyue and refused her request for a transaction.
But this guy, with an air of superiority, said to himself 'I think that day you will definitely be busy', and directly helped himself to settle the matter. This made him feel very displeased in his heart.
What right do you have to decide for me?
Although Qin is easy-going and warm towards others, his smile also gives people a sense of being approachable.
However, Qin Luo knew that he was extremely proud inside.
It is precisely because of this pride that he can face anyone so calmly. In his eyes, perhaps he does not regard you as an equal role with him, or even as a person. Just a chair, a cup... or something else.
His pride pierced Qin Luo's pride, so Qin Luo also had to straighten his back.
"So, if I say it's a threat?" Qin Zongheng smiled and said. This man still has some meaning.
Or is Pastor Moon's liking for this little temper?
Qin shook his head. A woman like Mù Yuè would only consider things more comprehensively. She wouldn't fall in love just because someone had a tiny bright spot. Her scoring system explained everything.
Qin Luo curled her lip and said, "What can you threaten me with now?"
Those words are really too despicable to say out loud. If, I mean if, you were to suddenly disappear in Yanjing, wouldn't many people be heartbroken? Qin's hands were crossed over each other, placed on his knees and gently tapping away. This was a habitual action of his, as he thought about the problem, the frequency of his finger taps would also quicken.
"Give it a try." Qin Luo said fearlessly.
Qin shook his head and said, "It's not because of mercy. I can do this kind of thing. However, I won't use it on you."
"I'm really one of a kind." Qin Luo smiled.
"I don't like you. But I won't hurt you." Qin Zongheng said with a smile. "Such competition is too low-level. It will only backfire."
"I know that only a fool would reveal his inner thoughts. But I'm going to tell you anyway. When I walk into the church with Pastor Moon's hand in mine, I'll need a witness. You're the most suitable one."
"What a coincidence. I also happen to dislike you." Qin Luo said with a smile. "If that day really comes, I'll go and be your witness."
"Thank you." Qin Zong nodded. He poured tea again, but only for himself and didn't refill Qin Luo's cup.
That means our conversation is over. You can leave.
Then, the snail knew it was going to work again.
He pinched off the cigarette in his hand and walked over to make a inviting gesture towards Qin Luo.
Qin Luo stood up from his chair and followed Tianluo out.
"You're really something." Tianluo smiled and sized up Qin Luo. "More than I imagined."
"I just said what I wanted to say and did what I should have done." Qin Luo said calmly.
"This is also courage." Tiansuo said with a smile. "Others don't dare."
"It's already like this. How much worse can it get?" Qin Luo smiled and asked back. "Do you dare?"
"I dare," said Tiansuo. "However, this is based on the premise that I am loyal to him. Because he knows that no matter what he asks me to do, I will unconditionally execute it. So, his reward to me is to speak freely."
"Even things like making me disappear in Yenching?"
"Yes."
Qin Luo nodded and said: "You are a very interesting person."
"You too." Tianluo patted Qin Luo's shoulder heavily.
As soon as Qin Luo walked out of the private mansion that looked ordinary from the outside, he saw a military vehicle parked outside. Wang Jiuzhou was standing outside walking back and forth, occasionally poking his head in to take a look inside.
Seeing Qin Luo walk out, Wang Jiujin's face was filled with surprise and delight, quickly running towards Qin Luo.
"Teacher Qin, you're out?" Wang Jiujiu asked anxiously. He looked Qin Luo up and down, and only when he saw that Qin Luo was unscathed did he put his mind at ease.
She was really worried just now and restrained herself from rushing in strongly.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Luo asked in surprise. He didn't know that Wang Jiujin had seen them leave together at the classroom door, nor did he know that Wang Jiujin was worried about him getting into trouble because of Tianluo's identity and had hurried over in a fluster.
"I... I saw you and him coming out. So I came over to take a look." Wang Jiujing could only tell the truth. She couldn't say she just happened to be passing by, could she?
"Your friend seems to be in a hurry. Looks like I don't need to send you back." Tianluo said with a smile to Qin Luo.
"I'll just go back myself," Qin Luo said.
Qin Luo looked deeply at Wang Jiujiu and said, "Let's go back."
"Hmm." Wang Jiujin nodded obediently. Turning her gaze to Tiansuo, the other party winked at her.
She nodded politely in response and then walked towards the military vehicle with her arm around Qin Luo's.
Gao Sheng jumped out of the driver's cab, excitedly saying: "I finally have a day off and this lady dragged me out. If you don't come out now, she'll force me to bring people to flatten this place. What kind of place is this? I don't have the guts for that!"
"Is this place famous?" Qin Luo asked.
"Yes. Tianbo House No. 1. The private club of Zhigongzi Qin's unscrupulous dealings. Those who can enter are not simple." Gaoshen explained.
"How can there not even be a name?" Qin Luo turned around and looked at the door without a sign, asking in puzzlement.
"What's the use of a signboard? Those who know, don't need a signboard to know. Those who don't know, even if they hang a signboard, can't get in." --- It's said that previously it had a name, but Qin Zongheng thought hanging a signboard at the entrance affected its appearance. So he let people dismantle it. Now everyone calls this place by its address." Gaoshen explained to Qin Luo with a proud face, as if being famous here also brought glory to his own face.
Qin Luo could see that Gao Shen had a deep reverence and fear for this place. So, on a deeper level, the influence of this wise young master in Yanjing was astonishing.
Even a nobleman of such high status as Gongzi Ge is so supportive of him, let alone others.
Is it worth offending such a formidable opponent for a woman?
"Beauty is a calamity." Qin Luo sighed secretly in his heart.
Of course, he wouldn't dare say it out loud. Wang Jiujin was still standing beside him with a deep expression.
"Teacher Qin, how did you end up here?" Wang Jiujin asked.
"Come and talk to someone about something." Qin Luo replied vaguely. She had already implicated herself, she couldn't drag Wang Jiuyi in too. She had helped her far too much already.
"Is it Qin Zongheng looking for you?" Wang Jiuyi asked. He was afraid that Qin Luo would offend Qin Zongheng and Qin Zongheng would find an opportunity to retaliate.
In this circle, no one will ignore Qin Zongheng's ability and terror.
"Is that so? You also know him?" Qin Luo asked with a bitter smile. It seems that Wang Jiujiu is still going to get involved.
"I see. Teacher Qin, why did he want you to come over? Was there a conflict between you two? If so, maybe I can help mediate and resolve the issue." Wang Jiujin felt that she had to get to the bottom of things, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rest easy. After understanding the conflict between Qin Luo and Qin Zhongheng, she wanted to find a way to intervene and turn their animosity into friendship.
In her heart, Qin Luo was so weak and needed others' care. She absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to hurt him.
"It's okay. I can handle it." Qin Luo patted her head and said. The girl looked at you with a worried face, really loving and adorable.
"If there's anything, be sure to tell me." Wang Jiujiao nodded and said. Since Qin Luo didn't want to say it, she couldn't ask again either.
"Alright." Qin Luo replied.
"What shall we do now?" asked Wang Jiujin.
Qin Luo thought for a moment and said: "Let's eat first. Then I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Luo had originally planned to visit Huaxia Mingyitang today to see what kind of organization they were, or if there was any possibility of cooperation between the two sides.
Wang Jiuyi's face lit up with excitement, and he turned to ask Gao Shen: "Gao Shen, are you hungry?"
"A bit," Gao Shen said with a smile. He thought to himself, this young lady has finally figured it out. He was on vacation today and was still sleeping when he was summoned by this woman's phone call.
I haven't eaten breakfast yet and now I'm so hungry that my stomach is sticking to my back.
"Oh. If you're hungry, hurry back and have lunch." said Wang Jiujin.
(Sorry, a bit late. Listening to everyone singing on YY. Didn't expect that among Lao Liu's readers, there are so many English talents! Haha. This is the first time holding such an event, and there are many things that didn't go as expected, please forgive us. It will get better in the future.)
Also, thanks to several administrators for their hard work in organizing. There were too many people and the scene was a bit chaotic. They really worked themselves to death.
