Chapter 24

Jinye said, “Ling Shaomin insulted me first, then she wanted to snatch my cheongsam. I wouldn’t let her, and she used her family to back her up, so I insulted her. Later, she hit me first, and I hit her in self-defense.”

“You were defending yourself? You deliberately provoked me and wanted to take the opportunity to kill me.” Ling Shaomin said.

Wei Liangchen’s eye twitched.

“You even called the bodyguards in, and said to shoot my third sister.” Wei Jiaxin said with her neck stiff.

Ling Shaomin also stiffened her neck, “Xu Jinye also drew a gun.”

“You wanted to hit Third Sister with a ruler just now.”

“Didn’t she want to hit me?”

“Your brother pushed my third sister.”

“If I didn’t push her, she would have killed me.”

“Shut up!” Wei Liangchen’s face turned slightly cold. He looked at the three girls, his gaze sweeping over Jinye, “Who is injured?”

Ling Shaomin pointed at her face with a wronged expression, “Of course it’s me. Liangchen Gege, look, she beat me up. I was just thinking that my older sister would be back early next month, and I wanted to give her two cheongsam dresses. I thought the styles were probably what my older sister liked, and time was tight, I was afraid I wouldn’t have time, so I wanted the master to make mine first. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Everyone knows that her sister is the only girlfriend the Young Marshal has ever acknowledged.

They were even at the point of talking about marriage.

As long as she brought up her older sister, no woman would stand a chance.

Let alone Xu Jinye, a hanger-on.

Jinye was startled.

She looked at Wei Liangchen.

The information in Ling Shaomin’s words was too much.

Jinye’s mind raced, as if something flashed by.

Wei Liangchen didn’t look at her. His handsome face was covered in a layer of frost, his eyes were dark and bottomless. After a few seconds, he said, “It’s just a few dresses, what’s the big deal? Make them for Fourth Miss first.”

“That’s right.” Ling Shaomin said.

Wei Jiaxin: “Everything has a proper order, why should you get them made first?”

Ling Shaomin snorted coldly, “Okay, you’re talking about order, my sister and the Young Marshal were playing in the mud when you were still in your mother’s belly.”

Ling Xuewei was only one year younger than Wei Liangchen.

If you put it that way, they were indeed the later ones.

Jinye didn’t say anything, she just looked at Wei Liangchen.

Ling Yuanzhou also looked at him. However, from their words, he also understood the gist of it. His tone wasn’t as cold as before, “It was my fourth sister who was out of line first, but Miss Xu hitting someone like that was also excessive. Young Marshal, you decide.”

Wei Liangchen glanced at the dazzling cheongsam samples, then turned back, giving a sneer,

“It’s just a few clothes, I thought it was a big deal. Make them for Fourth Miss first.”

Jinye was startled again.

“Second Brother, how can that be?” Wei Jiaxin was unconvinced, “We were here first.”

“I said it’s okay, then it’s okay.” Wei Liangchen’s eyes turned cold.

Wei Jiaxin was also afraid of him, and she didn’t dare to speak. She just whispered to Jinye, “Forget it, we don’t stand a chance this time.”

Just a name, and the person hasn’t even come back yet.

The power is already so great.

If she comes back, Ling Shaomin will be even more arrogant, and she will definitely retaliate against them afterwards.

Ling Shaomin was even more smug, her lips curled up, “Did you hear that? Make ours first.”

Although she couldn’t fight back, she had also humiliated Xu Jinye, and she had won a victory.

She knew when to stop.

She wouldn’t pursue the matter of hitting someone.

“Okay, if you want to make them, then make them. I won’t make them anymore.” Suddenly, Jinye said.

It’s just a cheongsam!

She didn’t like wearing them anyway.

Whoever wants to wear them, can wear them.

Although it was a little uncomfortable, it was just a little bit.

He would favor that side, it was within her expectations.

Wei Liangchen saw her turn her head away, her cheeks slightly puffed up, and she wasn’t looking at him anymore. A surge of annoyance rose in his heart, and his hand went to the holster again. The veins on the back of his hand bulged.

“So lively.” Suddenly, Zhou Siwei’s voice came from outside.

He had originally come to pick up Jinye to pick peaches, but he didn’t expect so many people inside, so he didn’t go in, and just greeted them at the door, “Young Marshal, Chief Ling.”

They were in the same circle, and they all knew each other.

Zhou Siwei looked at Jinye again, “Do you need me to wait a little longer?”

Seeing Jinye turn around and move her feet, Wei Liangchen’s voice sank, “Xu Jinye.”

It was an implicit warning.

Jinye’s hands holding her bag tightened, but she still didn’t look at him, “Anyway, there’s nothing for us here anymore. Mr. Zhou is taking us to pick peaches, of course we have to go. Jiaxin, let’s go.”

“Okay, I need to eat some peaches to cool my temper.”

Wei Jiaxin happily took Jinye’s arm.

Wei Liangchen’s dark eyes narrowed, his hand gripped the gun handle. Adjutant Shen’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt the urge to rush over and hold him down.

The Young Marshal wouldn’t want to shoot the third Miss, would he?

Thinking that the third Miss was putting a green hat on him in front of him?

“Oh, this is your new blind date, huh?” Ling Shaomin sneered as Jinye passed by, her voice wasn’t loud, but everyone could hear it, “Calling you a hanger-on is an understatement. Your role in the Warlord’s family, in ancient times, would be what they called a ‘thin horse’, raised specifically for powerful men to play with—”

“Bang!” A gunshot rang out.

The bullet grazed Ling Shaomin’s ear, landing on the cheongsam rack behind her. The rack fell over, and she was covered in debris.

Ling Shaomin froze for two seconds, then let out a scream, “Ah!”

“Shaomin!” Ling Yuanzhou was shocked and rushed to help her.

Everyone was stunned by the situation.

Jinye was also startled. The gunshot seemed to resonate with her heartbeat, echoing loudly.

Wei Liangchen still had that same arrogant and carefree expression, but his dark eyes were cold and chilling, somewhat eerie. He looked at Ling Shaomin, “You not only insulted her, but you also insulted my Warlord’s Mansion. Next time, it will be here.”

He pointed to the center of his forehead.

Ling Yuanzhou, who had originally wanted to rebuke him, was stunned for a moment.

He had never seen Wei Liangchen like this.

Everyone else dared not speak.

Jinye just looked back at him, then gritted her teeth, pulled Jiaxin, who was dumbfounded, and quickly walked out, getting into Zhou Siwei’s car.

“Drive quickly.” She said.

This step, she had to take.

Wei Liangchen put away his gun, put it back in the holster, and went out, but the car was already gone.

He got a mouthful of dust.

Adjutant Shen, who was beside him, didn’t dare to look at the Young Marshal’s face.

It was even darker than the car.

“Go drive.”

“Young Marshal…”

“Back to the government building.” Wei Liangchen said, his face like frost, the small mole at the corner of his eye was red, he said coldly, “Where do you think I’m going!”

In the departing car,

Wei Jiaxin finally came to her senses, “Third Sister, don’t take Ling Shaomin’s words to heart, she’s just a mad dog.”

Second Brother is a mad dog too.

He just shoots without thinking.

Jinye didn’t say anything, she just sighed heavily.

She had actually escaped from under Wei Liangchen’s nose.

This was a good start.

She glanced at Zhou Siwei in the passenger seat. From this angle, she could only see his profile, and it seemed tense. He wasn’t looking at her, and he didn’t speak, she didn’t know what he was thinking.

Would he look down on her because of Ling Shaomin’s words?

Jinye thought her heart was already very tough, but those two words, “thin horse,” still stung her.

It touched her remaining self-esteem.

However, if Zhou Siwei minded and stopped the blind date, that would be fine too. Being with him, she always felt like she was a cheater, stepping on two boats.

Wei Jiaxin looked at the two of them, oh no, would Zhou Siwei back down because of Ling Shaomin’s words? If so, it would be a pity.

When they arrived at Zhou Siwei’s friend’s orchard, it suddenly started raining.

The car stopped at the entrance to the orchard. Zhou Siyu and her brother’s friends, both male and female, were looking out from the gate, looking forward to their arrival, very enthusiastic.

“They’re here, they’re here.” Someone exclaimed, waving to them.

Zhou Siwei turned to Jinye and said, “Wait for me for a moment.”

He got out of the car first, walked over to take an umbrella from his friend, and then came back.

Jinye was a little surprised.

His gaze was direct and clear, sincere and warm. In a flash, Jinye thought of that afternoon with a gentle drizzle, when he was holding a twenty-four-rib oil-paper umbrella, like a verdant mountain, walking towards her.

Jinye was stunned, her eyes suddenly became hazy.

Zhou Siwei opened the car door, “I’ll hold the umbrella for you first.”

Zhou Siyu also came over, “Is that Miss Xu’s younger sister? I’ll hold the umbrella for you.”

Wei Jiaxin, of course, knew what to do. She smiled and said, “Okay, thank you.”

Jinye and Zhou Siwei lagged behind. She couldn’t help but ask, “You really don’t mind? What Ling Shaomin said.”

Zhou Siwei turned his head, the rain fell on the umbrella, making a tinkling sound, but his words were very clear, and there was a certain seriousness in them, “I already know about your situation in the Wei family. If I minded, I wouldn’t have asked you out again.”

Jinye’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up at him.

“But I think we’re not suitable, maybe—”

Zhou Siwei smiled, “We haven’t even started, how do you know we’re not suitable? Don’t rush to reject me.”

He smiled gently, “It’s raining heavily, let’s go inside first. After spending today together, you can consider whether to continue or not.”

Meanwhile, at the Warlord’s Mansion.

“You mean, the Young Marshal came back and then went out again?”

Mrs. Wei had been investigating these days, and she could only confirm that her son had been to the Baccarat Hotel, but she still didn’t know who the woman was.

Actually, a certain person had flashed through her mind.

Because Xu Jinye had also gone out that night.
