Helping My Ex-Wife Find Love Every Day - Chapter 51

The war between Qiu Qing Shi and the superficial girlfriend continued, with smoke filling the air and the tension thick and palpable.

Yao Xiang Yi was dragged into the conflict.

Qiu Qing Shi tapped Yao Xiang Yi’s nose and asked, “Boss (Bàba), my ‘good girlfriend’ has been accompanying you for so long, have you won any money?”

When your wife is having a catfight with a green tea bitch (lǜchábiǎo), you must either keep silent or side with your wife.

Yao Xiang Yi, being reserved and steady, initially chose to remain silent.

But Qiu Qing Shi insisted on dragging her into the mess, so she had no choice but to change tactics and join the coalition.

She replied, “My luck is mediocre; I haven’t won much.”

Qiu Qing Shi looked at Yao Xiang Yi’s chips and exclaimed, “Boss (Bàba), how long have you been playing? You’ve already lost everything!”

The superficial girlfriend’s facial muscles twitched.

Qiu Qing Shi smiled sweetly and looked back at her: “How about you keep your distance from the Boss (Bàba)?”

The superficial girlfriend leaned even closer to Yao Xiang Yi, placing a hand on the back of her chair: “Look at you! Anyone can come to this party; once here, they’re a guest. Is there any place a guest cannot go? Even next to CEO Yao, the sisters can come. What’s wrong with being near or far?”

The superficial girlfriend said all this in one breath and wasn’t finished. She then asked the people around her, “Isn’t that right, sisters?”

The sisters had long resented Qiu Qing Shi. She was beautiful, married well, and her career was sailing smoothly. Why should she have all the good things?

Since they finally had a chance to make Qiu Qing Shi look bad, they chimed in: “Yes, that’s right!”

The superficial girlfriend continued: “Besides, this villa belongs to Miss Chi. When she invited us, she didn’t have so many rules.”

Chi Gu Yuan (Chí Gù Yuàn): Here it comes, here it comes. They finally dragged me into it.

Qiu Qing Shi gave Chi Gu Yuan a cold glare, her icy gaze seemingly trying to poke a hole through her. She drew out her reply in a long, high-pitched tone: “Ohh—”

The raised tone expressed sudden realization.

“So Miss Chi was the one who invited everyone to this pool party, was she?”

Chi Gu Yuan chewed on her fingernails, playing dumb with poor acting: “It’s just an ordinary party. Wearing a swimsuit was purely voluntary.”

This is probably what people call trying to explain only to make things worse. Tang Si Li (Táng Sī Lí) was utterly defeated.

Qiu Qing Shi sneered: “That’s true. It’s hot, so wearing a swimsuit is cooling.”

Chi Gu Yuan nodded rapidly.

Qiu Qing Shi fanned herself with her hand: “The weather certainly gets hotter by the day.”

She politely addressed the server: “Could you please turn the air conditioning down to the minimum? 16 degrees Celsius.”

The server immediately complied.

All the air conditioners in Chi Gu Yuan’s house were new models replaced this year, not only sensitive in frequency conversion but also excellent in cooling speed.

The cold air blew strongly.

The indoor temperature dropped quickly.

Qiu Qing Shi, wearing her qipao, felt the temperature was just right—comfortable and refreshed.

The sisters in their three-piece bikinis, however, couldn’t quite handle it.

But they all remained defiant, standing tall like proud peacocks.

The superficial girlfriend shivered repeatedly, getting goosebumps over and over.

Qiu Qing Shi tossed the dice again, shuffling and stacking the tiles in one smooth motion.

She glanced sideways at the superficial girlfriend and teased, “Darling (Qīn’ài de), are you cold?”

The superficial girlfriend rubbed her face: “No, I’m still hot. I’m sweating constantly.”

Qiu Qing Shi was very considerate of her. She fiddled with the remote control to turn the air conditioner’s vent directly toward her and asked with a smile, “Still hot?”

All the sisters in the room: “…………”

The superficial girlfriend sneezed, sniffed, and insisted stubbornly, “Thank you, the temperature is just right.”

Qiu Qing Shi snapped her fingers at the server: “Get my girlfriend a cold drink.”

The server nodded, left the room, and returned with a glass of iced lemonade.

Qiu Qing Shi was not satisfied: “Add more ice cubes.”

The superficial girlfriend, shivering with cold: This is too much, truly too much.

The server bowed slightly in apology and hurried off, returning again not only with extra ice in the glass but also a fan.

The service was impeccable.

He stood beside Qiu Qing Shi and asked for her approval: “Miss Qiu, is this acceptable?”

Qiu Qing Shi praised him, then handed the iced lemonade to the superficial girlfriend: “Here, cool down.”

The girlfriend bit the bullet, accepted it, and took a sip.

Just as she swallowed the lemonade, Qiu Qing Shi unfolded the fan and vigorously fanned her.

After a few swings, she handed the fan to Yao Xiang Yi: “Boss (Bàba), you fan her. She’s kept you company playing cards for so long; you should repay her.”

Yao Xiang Yi saw that she was playing a trick. She was worried that if she blindly got involved, it might damage her reputation, and people might think the couple was bullying others using their power.

She tried to decline with a look.

Qiu Qing Shi lowered her voice as much as possible, threatening, “Do you still want to have a car vibration (cz)?”

Of course, she did.

Yao Xiang Yi hesitated no longer and vigorously fanned the superficial girlfriend.

The superficial girlfriend forced a smile: “CEO Yao, don’t tire yourself out. I can do it myself.”

Yao Xiang Yi dodged her attempt to snatch the fan, stating calmly, “I’m not tired.”

Chi Gu Yuan was shocked that Yao Xiang Yi was so completely under her charming wife’s thumb. She hid her phone under the table and opened the “Big Three in Entertainment” group, tagging Yao Xiang Yi.

【Boss (Bàba), if you’ve been kidnapped, blink your eyes!】

Tang Si Li joined the group chat: 【+1】

Yao Xiang Yi took a moment to reply: 【I’ve been kidnapped by beauty.】

Chi Gu Yuan was heartbroken. She decided that in the future, she would never look for a wife who was too beautiful, as they were easily tempting.

Tang Si Li, viewing it from the perspective of someone in a marriage, saw the underlying truth, guessing that there must be some unspeakable physical transaction between Yao Xiang Yi and Qiu Qing Shi.

The superficial girlfriend, finally unable to bear the cold, tidied her wind-blown hair: “It’s stuffy in here. I’m going out for some fresh air.”

Qiu Qing Shi bumped Tang Si Li for a “One of Bamboos” and told the superficial girlfriend, “Hurry back.”

The superficial girlfriend replied insincerely: “Okay, Qing Qing. I hope you win lots of money.”

“Don’t worry. Now that you’re gone, my luck will surely be better.”

The sisters in the room were thrilled.

Round two of the catfight was starting!

Superficial Girlfriend: “Your card skills are bad. Good luck won’t help.”

Qiu Qing Shi: “So what if they’re bad? At worst, I’ll lose a little money. My Boss (Bàba) is super rich.”

Shame on bragging about wealth!

The superficial girlfriend could no longer tolerate it: “CEO Yao earned that money through hard work. As Mrs. Yao, you should be thrifty and manage the household responsibly.”

Qiu Qing Shi: “You’re right. How about I buy the yacht? It’s not used more than a few times a year anyway. Do you want to buy it? I’ll give you a ten percent discount—just a little over one hundred million.”

The superficial girlfriend was so angry her mouth twisted.

Qiu Qing Shi pressed on: “Considering our sisterly bond, I can even waive the change for you.”

The superficial girlfriend felt utterly insulted.

She couldn’t stay any longer and bolted.

All the sisters in the room were wide-eyed.

What did we just witness?

They saw Haishi’s number one socialite unleash her full firepower, completing a magnificent transformation.

The person she once was is dead. Henceforth, please call her—Empress Níugǔlù Socialite!

The Empress Níugǔlù Socialite glanced sideways at them, her look conveying the domineering message, “As long as I am not dead, all of you are merely concubines.”

“Does anyone else want to buy a yacht?”

We can’t afford it! We can’t afford it!

The sisters shivered, scrambling and rushing toward the door.

Due to the crowd and the narrow doorway, some sisters nearly had their bikinis squeezed off.

The sisters retreated, leaving only Chi Gu Yuan.

Chi Gu Yuan drew an “Eight of Bamboos” and, to curry favor, discarded it for Qiu Qing Shi to win the game.

Qiu Qing Shi won, but her tone was stiff: “I hear Auntie Chi is arranging blind dates for you. My cousin graduated from university this year. I’ll have my mother take photos for Auntie Chi to see if she’s suitable.”

Qiu Qing Shi’s mother was the “Sweet Song Queen” of the late 1990s and was acquainted with Chi Gu Yuan’s father, naturally knowing her mother as well.

Chi Gu Yuan clasped her hands together, begging for mercy: “I’m too wild, undisciplined, and notorious. Your cousin definitely won’t be interested in me.”

“Don’t sell yourself short. My cousin just happens to like your type.”

Chi Gu Yuan pleaded with Yao Xiang Yi for help.

Yao Xiang Yi was eager to stay out of the muddy water and refused to intervene.

Seeing Chi Gu Yuan suffer, Qiu Qing Shi felt she had exacted her small revenge and was in a much better mood. She pushed the tiles away and said, “Boss (Bàba), you continue to play. I’m tired and will go to your room to rest.”

Catfights between sisters are always physically exhausting.

Yao Xiang Yi had been waiting for that exact sentence: “I’ll go with you.”

“No need,” Qiu Qing Shi pressed down on his shoulder. “There are still three people at the card table. Don’t spoil everyone’s fun.”

That makes sense…

Yao Xiang Yi raised her eyebrows, realizing Qiu Qing Shi was deliberately making him restless.

The little flirt is full of mischief.

What could she do? She could only spoil her.

She sat back down in resignation, spreading her hands as if asking: Is that good? Are you satisfied?

Qiu Qing Shi was very satisfied. She left, then came back, and bit his ear: “I’m going to get ready.”

Her warm breath caressed Yao Xiang Yi’s ear, like a spark igniting a prairie fire, burning in Yao Xiang Yi’s heart, making her entire body catch fire.

Yao Xiang Yi’s gaze fell on her long legs beneath the high-slit qipao.

She casually placed the back of her hand against them: “Alright.”

The cleverness of flirting lies here: you tempt me, and I tempt you. Whoever gives in first loses.

Qiu Qing Shi absolutely refused to lose. She walked toward the guest room at the end of the second floor.

Yao Xiang Yi had a clean freak’s tendencies, so Chi Gu Yuan had specifically set aside a room for her when she occasionally stayed over.

Qiu Qing Shi was in no hurry, determined to torment Yao Xiang Yi thoroughly. She paused halfway to chat with a few artists she was closer to.

Her phone vibrated.

CEOYaoBoss: 【Darling, how long do you need to get ready?】

InvincibleCutieQiu: 【One hour.】

CEOYaoBoss: 【That’s too long.】

InvincibleCutieQiu: 【Then I’m going home.】

CEOYaoBoss: 【No, it’s worth waiting for you, no matter how long it takes.】

Qiu Qing Shi was delighted by the sweet talk.

Yao Xiang Yi sent a series of animated explicit images, depicting various car vibration (cz) positions.

They were scandalous.

Qiu Qing Shi couldn’t help but feel a rush of heat.

CEOYaoBoss: 【Which one do you like? Let’s try it tonight.】

What’s most terrifying is when the CEO suddenly gets lewd.

Qiu Qing Shi replied with a “Go away~” and pressed the lock screen button.

Yao Xiang Yi didn’t give up, continuing the suggestive banter: 【Only children make choices. Adults want everything.】

InvincibleCutieQiu: 【Stop it!】

The artists she was chatting with noticed the change in her demeanor and asked with concern, “Qing Qing, you’re blushing.”

Qiu Qing Shi patted her cheeks: “I’m feeling a bit warm. Please excuse me.”

With that, she quickly hurried into Yao Xiang Yi’s bedroom, went straight into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, splashed water on her face, and regained the clarity in her eyes.

Damn Yao Xiang Yi.

The big flirt! So improper!

She angrily took out her phone and wrote in the chat box: 【Hmph, you can only ‘sun’ me once tonight.**】

Before she finished the sentence, a person suddenly appeared in the mirror, standing behind her.

No matter how composed Qiu Qing Shi was, she couldn’t handle such a scare. Her scalp prickled, and she let out a yelp.

She retreated sideways and finally saw the person clearly.

“Bai Meng Zhao?!”

More accurately, it was Bai Meng Zhao in the process of taking off her bikini.

Her eyes were hazy, and she ambiguously mumbled she was hot… so hot… hug me…
