Helping My Ex-Wife Find Love Every Day - Chapter 24

It must be a special kind of fate.

Yao Xiangyi and Qiu Qingshi’s hearts simultaneously felt a stampede of a hundred grass mud horses (a euphemism for “f***ing horses”).

Qiu Qingshi retreated into the backrest, closing her eyes, clearly adopting the attitude of “out of sight, out of mind.” Frustrated, she choked out, “I’m suddenly not hungry anymore, Bàba, let’s go home.”

Yao Xiangyi looked at her, then looked at Bai Mengzhao holding the kitchen knife, feeling quite emotional—

They truly deserve to become a pair. One loves to wield a rolling pin, the other loves to wield a kitchen knife.

A perfect match!!

Qiu Qingshi felt completely uncomfortable the moment she saw Bai Mengzhao and urged Yao Xiangyi not to dawdle.

Yao Xiangyi asked, “So many ruffians bullying one girl—can you bear to ignore her?”

Qiu Qingshi opened her eyes, stuttering, “I… I can… bear it.”

The final syllable, however, inexplicably slowed down, barely audible.

The clever Yao Xiangyi saw right through everything, her eyebrows raised unevenly, a clear smile dancing in her eyes.

Qiu Qingshi turned her face away, her blurry profile reflected in the car window. Awkwardly, she said, “Tell her to get in the car.”

Yao Xiangyi obeyed the decree. She lowered the window a little more, leaned her head out, and said to Bai Mengzhao, “Miss Bai, come over here.”

Only then did Bai Mengzhao clearly see it was Yao Xiangyi. Her delicate eyebrows trembled slightly, and she was too surprised to close her mouth. “CEO Yao…?”

Yao Xiangyi repeated, “Come over here.”

Bai Mengzhao raised the hand holding the kitchen knife a few inches higher, tried hard to widen her eyes to look ferocious, and fiercely chopped twice toward the thugs, cutting a path for herself.

Oh, she’s a little tiger.

Qiu Qingshi briefly looked at Bai Mengzhao with new respect.

Yao Xiangyi turned into a sour lemon.

She keeps calling the girl a manipulative green tea bitch out loud, but secretly holds a good impression in her heart.

Sure enough, the prettier the woman, the more she lies.

Bai Mengzhao walked to the car door and gave Crew Cut a furious glare. She was an actress, and her gaze was powerful, the fierce bitterness within it stinging like a needle.

Crew Cut couldn’t help but feel intimidated. He instinctively took a step back to maintain distance, then, fearing he would lose face in front of his underlings, he shoved Bai Mengzhao.

Bai Mengzhao’s waist hit the door handle of the Maybach, making her wince in pain and hiss, almost dropping the kitchen knife.

“You—”

Yao Xiangyi intercepted her words. “Miss Bai, get in the car.”

Bai Mengzhao: “?”

Qiu Qingshi was truly exasperated with this girl. She and her wife were here to save her, but she was behaving like an old ox pulling a broken cart—so slow.

The selfless help in a moment of crisis reignited her gradually cooling heart inch by inch.

It turns out that there is true sentiment in this world, and true love.

Bai Mengzhao’s eyes reddened slightly, and a thin, damp mist welled up. “CEO Yao, I can’t implicate you. Please leave.”

Yao Xiangyi was convinced that her original character design in the text was “silly, sweet, and naive.”

Qiu Qingshi couldn’t help but say to her, “If you have anything to say, get in the car first.”

Bai Mengzhao wiped a tear, choosing to sacrifice herself willingly, and said to Crew Cut, “Let them go. Whatever business you have, deal with me.”

Qiu Qingshi was speechless: She’s hopeless, hopeless, truly hopeless.

[Innocent Lolita reminds you: Affection decreased, Sweetness Value -1]

The System really has many tricks.

Her patience was completely worn out, and her tone was no longer as kind as before. “I told you to get in the car, so hurry up.”

When a Bàzǒng loses her temper, who can not be afraid? Not to mention Bai Mengzhao, who was still a university student. Listlessly, she put away the kitchen knife and pulled open the car door.

Crew Cut pressed down on her hand. “Do you think I’m dead? You can just wipe your butt and leave, who am I supposed to ask for money? Your old mother lying in the hospital, or your good-for-nothing father? Hey, your father should be home, right? For a grown man to let his daughter come out, is he even a man!”

Bai Mengzhao’s pupils narrowed. “I warn you, don’t target my parents.”

Crew Cut grinned obscenely, his voice sharp and high-pitched. “Oh my, are you angry? I’m so scared.”

Bai Mengzhao was shaking with anger, and the veins on her hand gripping the knife handle pulsed wildly. “I returned the money to you, principal and interest. Not one cent less than six hundred thousand.”

“Bullshit! We’re loan sharks, not a relief station. I’m telling you, cough up another one million, or else I’ll go make trouble at your company.”

Chestnut Head, Crew Cut’s underling, chimed in, “Exactly! You’re a celebrity now, you’re not short of this bit of money. If we really make a scene, you won’t look good.”

The other thugs echoed this sentiment.

Bai Mengzhao said, word by word, “I have no money!”

Crew Cut chuckled twice, revealing a mouthful of yellow, smoke-stained teeth. “I heard the entertainment industry is full of casting couch situations. You’re young and pretty—find an executive, sleep with him for a night, and you’ll have it!”

The underlings thought this made sense, throwing out vulgar and indecent remarks one after another.

Crew Cut grew bolder and touched Bai Mengzhao’s face. “So soft! Why don’t you just sleep with me? I can give you a twenty percent discount on the one million.”

Bai Mengzhao’s stomach suddenly churned. Crew Cut’s hideous face made her genuinely nauseous. She spat at him. “Peh!”

CEO Yao, the head of an established wealthy family, who had nothing but money, had ample capital to join their conversation. She said composedly, “One million. I’ll pay it for her.”

Qiu Qingshi was incredulous.

“Yao Xiangyi, are you out of your mind?”

One million was not a small amount. Bai Mengzhao was neither family nor friend to them. Why? Even maintaining a kept woman wouldn’t cost this much.

[Innocent Lolita reminds you: Affection decreased again, Sweetness Value -1]

Bai Mengzhao also thought Yao Xiangyi was crazy and expressed this idea with tactful language: “CEO Yao, are you joking?”

Yao Xiangyi straightened her posture and asked in a serious tone, “Do I look like it?”

She pulled down the sun visor and took out the chequebook from inside…

[Sweetness Value -5]

[Sweetness Value -6]

[Sweetness Value -7]

Yao Xiangyi froze, then nodded to Bai Mengzhao. “Yes, I am joking.”

She silently put the chequebook back.

Qiu Qingshi rolled an elegant, massive eye-roll.

Crew Cut: “…………”

All the thugs: “…………”

Crew Cut felt utterly and completely insulted. He scratched his greasy hair, letting out a shower of dandruff. He raged like an old woman throwing a fit. “Are you playing games with me? If you’ve got the guts, get out of the car!”

Qiu Qingshi was enraged. Only she could bully her wife; since when was it the turn of a petty thug to be insolent?

She cracked her knuckles, making a move to get out of the car and teach Crew Cut a lesson on being human.

Yao Xiangyi’s heart leaped to her throat. “Your Ladyship, you can’t show your face here!”

These thugs had grown strong in gang fights and were experienced in combat. They were not only insane but also used the most vicious moves. Qiu Qingshi was no match for them at all.

“You stay put in the car. I’ll go down—”

Qiu Qingshi, the wife-protecting maniac, possessed her. Without waiting for Yao Xiangyi to finish, she unlocked the car door, stomped furiously around to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and SWISH! pulled out a golf club made of titanium alloy.

Her entire aura was eight feet tall.

She was much fiercer than the day she beat Yao Xiangyi with the rolling pin.

A cat, although delicate and noble, has sharp claws. If it truly attacks, it can injure people.

Yao Xiangyi worried about her. She quickly turned off the engine and chased after her.

She saw Qiu Qingshi treat Crew Cut’s head like a golf ball. Her toned arms were fully charged with power, and the posture in which she swung the club was exceptionally chic and handsome.

Crew Cut was caught off guard and howled in pain. “AH—”

His scream was distinctive, falling between a crack and not-a-crack, practically lifting the skull caps of everyone present.

Crew Cut was devastated.

In a street fight, who just starts hitting immediately? According to the rules of the Jianghu, the two bosses first exchange threats, then argue on the spot, and only resort to violence if they cannot reach an agreement.

“You woman, don’t you understand the rules!!”

Qiu Qingshi was expressionless and swung the club again.

This swing was different from the last, thrown with the determination and confidence of a hole-in-one.

Yao Xiangyi recalled the pain of being hit on the head with the rolling pin and subconsciously touched her forehead.

Crew Cut cried, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared at his underlings, “Are you still standing there like idiots! Hit her!”

Bai Mengzhao stepped forward. “The one at fault should bear the consequences. Don’t make trouble for her.”

Qiu Qingshi: “Get out of the way!”

The underlings were still young, around twenty. They hadn’t seen much of the world, but they could tell that Qiu Qingshi was dressed exceptionally well. Especially that sharp, aggressive edge about her—no ordinary person would ever possess it.

They stared at each other, none daring to move rashly.

Chestnut Head had never seen his boss beaten so badly. He pointed at Qiu Qingshi’s nose and shouted, “If you’ve got the guts, take off your mask! What kind of hero hides her face!”

Qiu Qingshi twisted his fingers back with one hand, while the heel of her high-heeled shoe stabbed into his shin bone like a knife.

“Mama mia—”

Chestnut Head was defeated.

With the boss and the second-in-command successively sacrificed, the third-in-command, Afro Head, stepped up. “Brothers, let’s go up together! Are we really afraid of just one woman? What kind of reputation will we have if this gets out!”

Yao Xiangyi: “I’d like to see who dares!”

Afro Head brandished his steel pipe and led the brothers. “Who cares! Hit her!”

Qiu Qingshi sneered, rolled up her sleeves, and casually kicked off her high heels. Before engaging, she didn’t forget to wink at Yao Xiangyi.

Then, down came the club, down came the club…

She moved freely among Afro Head, Tinfoil Head, Crew Cut, and Parted Head, as if entering an unmanned territory.

The golf club was wielded like a ferocious tiger. The silent alley was playing out a bloody battle. Screams rose and fell one after another. The thugs fully displayed their singing talents, transforming into tenor opera singers, one by one.

This commotion alarmed the surrounding neighbors. They watched the fight from their windows, but the violent scene caused severe discomfort in their guts.

Fighting calls for a quick decisive action. Qiu Qingshi had beaten everyone who deserved it, leaving only Afro Head, the third-in-command who had dared to stick his neck out.

Afro Head looked at his brothers scattered on the ground. He knew the tide had turned against them. He gave up resisting, bent the knee that belonged to a man, knelt down, and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness. “Jiejie (Sister), I was blind. These few streets are now your territory.”

Qiu Qingshi grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the Maybach’s bumper. She said flatly, “Who cares about your few streets?”

Afro Head started bleeding from the nose and cried. “The neighboring streets are yours too!”

Qiu Qingshi: “From now on, no more being a thug.”

Afro Head: “No more, no more! I’ll go back to school to study.”

Qiu Qingshi was satisfied. She let go of him, sparing his life.

Afro Head thanked her for not killing him and crawled like a dog to hug her leg. “Jiejie, not only will I study, but I will strive to be the class rank one.”

The dumbfounded Yao Xiangyi and Bai Mengzhao: “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Especially Yao Xiangyi.

She only realized now that Qiu Qingshi had shown her too much mercy when committing domestic violence against her.

Wuu.

She dared not provoke Qiu Qingshi ever again.
