Shen Qingyue was also taken aback by Zhang Jianci’s actions. “Chi Ming, aren’t you going to do something about your friend? Umm…,” she wanted to say: Isn’t this illegal? Directly causing financial harm to others?
Chi Ming remained expressionless. “He did nothing wrong. Why should I intervene? It’s just breaking a few things.” Ling Bing’er intentionally drove like a madman to intimidate Shen Qingyue, and this behavior was disgusting. The fact that he didn’t ask Zhang Jianci to do anything was already a concession. Did they really think he was a pushover?
Wei Jiu’er was completely stunned. Where did all these people come from? Why were they all suddenly getting violent? She felt like the world had gone crazy. Even Shen Qingyue, who used to keep her feelings to herself, was now not saying much and slapping people right away.
Ling Bing’er was getting more and more anxious. “Stop it, all of you! This is the new car my brother bought for Sister Jiu’er! Sister Jiu’er said she would let me borrow it in the future! If you break it, what will I drive? Are you all crazy?” But who paid any attention to her? Zhang Jianci and several bodyguards were smashing things with increasing enthusiasm, their voices deafening. It had been a while since they had this much fun.
The happier they were, the more uncomfortable Qin Zhen felt. “Mr. Chi, what do you mean by this?”
Chi Ming ignored his question, and he also ignored Qin Zhen himself. He just lowered his head and looked at Shen Qingyue. “Do you have time tonight? Let’s have dinner together. They have some new dishes at their place.” His tone was calm and steady, as if he couldn’t see the atrocious behavior happening beside them.
Shen Qingyue was still a bit dazed and unconsciously nodded. She followed up with a question, “The food there should be delicious, right?”
Qin Zhen clenched the armrests of his wheelchair, the veins on his hand popping out. “Chi Ming, you deliberately came here to provoke me!” Smashing the car he had bought for Wei Jiu’er and then making plans with Shen Qingyue right in front of him, this was trampling on his dignity…
Chi Ming lifted his eyes to look at him. His features were sharp but not intimidating. There was a certain warmth in his demeanor, yet it carried an inherent sense of oppression. He inquired, “Oh, what are you going to do about it?”
Their gazes clashed in mid-air, sparking off a silent battle.
One remained composed, the other was visibly angered.
In the end, Qin Zhen spoke first, “Chi Ming, don’t think that you can offend me and get away with it. My Qin family isn’t to be trifled with either.”
A faint smile curved at the corner of Chi Ming’s mouth, his tone laced with sarcasm, “At least for now, I’m safe and sound. And I’m not one to be trifled with either; I can play rough too.”
While this intense confrontation unfolded on one side, Zhang Jianci had already dealt with the situation on the other side. A brand-new luxury car had been reduced to scrap metal within five minutes. To the uninformed, it would appear as if a severe accident had occurred.
Ling Bing’er had originally planned to borrow this car from Wei Jiu’er and show it off, even promising a trip to the bayarea. However, now this luxury car had turned into a pile of junk. She was livid, screaming hysterically, “You’re all insane! How dare you destroy my car! I’ll never let you get away with this! You bunch of wretches, I’ll kill you…”
After smashing the car, Zhang Jianci casually tossed the small hammer to the ground, wearing an indifferent expression. “Come on, let’s see who gets to kill whom. You bully my sister-in-law, underestimating all of us, huh? Little girl, you’re too arrogant. You might just get a slap in the face.”
Ling Bing’er, infuriated, threw her bag at Zhang Jianci and cursed fiercely, “You uncultured scum!”
“Do you have any manners? Do you only know how to call people names and insult people? Or do you not know anything else because you’re the one who’s uncultured? You want to fight, don’t you? Well, I don’t have a policy against hitting women. We’re all humans; so let’s fight, huh?” Zhang Jianci caught the bag but still sought Chi Ming’s opinion, “Can I beat her up? My hands are itching…”
Chi Ming remained indifferent, not displaying any emotion. “Don’t go too far.”
Zhang Jianci laughed and taunted, “Didn’t you say earlier that this isn’t a foreign country, and if I got into trouble, you couldn’t save me? Now you’re changing your tune? You even implied that I can go ahead and use force…” Chi Ming cast him a sidelong glance.
Zhang Jianci scratched his nose, realizing that Chi Ming was genuinely angry. If he did not act, Chi Ming might take matters into his own hands, and that would escalate things. He tossed the bag to one of the bodyguards behind him and beckoned with his finger to Ling Bing’er, “Come on then, I’m no slouch when it comes to fights. I won’t hit your face.”
Ling Bing’er did not dare to actually approach. She had been all talk up to this point, taking a step back and hiding behind Qin Zhen, saying, “Brother, these people are so audacious, don’t let them off! Otherwise, where will you put your face…”
Qin Zhen had been frowning since he heard Zhang Jianci refer to Shen Qingyue as ‘sister-in-law’.. “Did you ever consider the consequences of smashing my car?”
