The slap was crisp and loud.

Xu Min was completely stunned by the blow.

”You... you hit me...”

Xu Min clutched her stinging face, her expression one of disbelief.

In her entire life, Chen Man Ni was the first person to ever slap her.

Everyone around them was also stunned. They hadn’t expected Chen Man Ni to actually follow through on her word.

But no one dared to step forward. After all, they were all afraid of offending a rich young lady like her.

Qin Tuo’s reaction was calm, without a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

As her supposed best friend, Chen Xiaohui showed a flash of fear and stood by without saying a word.

Seeing the situation, Xu Min fell into complete despair and had no choice but to reluctantly submit.

”I... I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spit...”

With that, she knelt down to wipe Qin Tuo’s shoe clean.

However, just as she got close, Qin Tuo pulled his foot back in disgust.

Xu Min’s face went pale, and her heart trembled.

Chen Man Ni shot him a questioning glance.

Qin Tuo snorted coldly.

”Forget it. If someone like you wiped my shoes, I’d be worried you’d make my new shoes even dirtier!”

With that, he calmly took a tissue from his pocket and wiped his shoe spotless.

”Qin Tuo, you...”

Xu Min was furious, grinding her teeth.

Chen Man Ni was very pleased with Qin Tuo’s attitude. She moved closer and took his arm.

”Darling, shall we go home?”

As she spoke, she shot a provocative glance at Xu Min.

Qin Tuo nodded lightly. The two of them then walked away with the grace of a celestial couple.

It wasn’t until Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni disappeared at the end of the hall that Xu Min suddenly started screaming curses.

”You despicable couple! I curse you to die a horrible death!”

”What’s so great about you? Just a bitch who uses her stinking money to bully people...”

”And you! A pretty boy who lives off a woman! Sooner or later you’ll be struck dead by lightning!”

After this torrent of vicious curses, the surrounding crowd was left dumbfounded.

The few who had felt a bit of sympathy for Xu Min almost wanted to vomit on the spot.

Now they understood why this woman had met with such retribution today.

...

Chen Man Ni held Qin Tuo’s arm as they left the mall, looking just like a real couple.

They were laden with shopping bags, big and small, a fruitful trip.

”Oh, right, Qin Tuo. From now on, if you ever run into that bitch again and she dares to bully you, just call me. I’ll come save the day anytime!”

Chen Man Ni said with a smile.

Qin Tuo nodded helplessly.

Chen Man Ni suddenly gave him a mischievous wink and said playfully,

”Tell me, was I super domineering just now? Did I scare you?”

Qin Tuo shook his head and asked in return,

”You didn’t scare me, no. But I would like to know, were you just acting, or was that your true self on display?”

”My true self on display? Get out of here!”

Chen Man Ni’s pretty face immediately blushed, and she quickly lowered her head to hide it.

She retorted defensively,

”I was just afraid you’re too honest and shy to be bullied by bad women, so I helped you out... Anyway, since I helped you so much today, how are you going to repay me?”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but raise her face, looking at Qin Tuo’s eyes with anticipation.

Qin Tuo thought about it seriously, then gave a mysterious smile.

”How about I slave away for you in the next life?”

”Pah! Who wants you to slave away for them?”

Chen Man Ni rolled her eyes at Qin Tuo coquettishly.

”Besides, I can’t wait until your next life! If you’re going to slave away, it has to be in this life!”

”Haha, in your dreams!”

Qin Tuo laughed heartily.

”Huh? Look...”

Suddenly, the smile froze on Chen Man Ni’s face.

A wheelchair was being slowly pushed toward them. In it was none other than Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng was dressed sharply from head to toe, but his leg was still in a cast, preventing him from walking.

He saw Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni at a glance, and his initially calm expression instantly twisted into a sinister snarl.

”Qin Tuo, you son of a bitch! I curse you to get hit by a car the moment you step outside, and to be struck dead by lightning when it rains...”

The expressions on both their faces immediately darkened.

Qin Tuo suddenly burst out laughing.

”Zhao Peng, your girl was having a great time wandering around the mall. Why weren’t you with her?”

Chen Man Ni immediately chimed in with a smile.

”That’s right. We just saw that woman hitting it off with some handsome guy. I think they were even getting handsy. If I were her man, I’d say my new green hat was a sure thing today.”

Qin Tuo immediately picked up the thread, feigning surprise.

”Oh, I almost forgot. With that leg, it’s not like you can go anywhere.”

After speaking, Qin Tuo fixed a pitying gaze on Zhao Peng’s leg.

With the two of them acting in perfect concert, Zhao Peng was so angry he trembled all over. He pointed a shaking finger at Qin Tuo, unable to form a complete sentence.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked out from the side. It was Zhao Tiancheng.

His expression was grim as he warned them sternly,

”You two, don’t cause trouble here. The Zhao Family is not so easily bullied!”

Qin Tuo sneered.

”We weren’t bullying this worthless son of yours. He brought it on himself, spewing filth from his mouth.”

Chen Man Ni also nodded emphatically, her face serious.

”That’s right. As his father, how did you even raise him? If he keeps being so arrogant, his other leg will probably get broken sooner or later!”

With that, she gave a sweet smile, pulled Qin Tuo’s arm, and the two of them turned and walked away coolly.

Watching their departing backs, Zhao Peng finally couldn’t hold it in and started wailing!

”Dad, I’m filled with hate! Why didn’t you have your men break their legs just now and get revenge for your son?”

But Zhao Tiancheng just asked coldly in return,

”Fight them? Who would go up against him? Didn’t you see that kid’s skills at the hotel that day?”

Zhao Peng’s face was flushed red with anger, feeling utterly wronged and frustrated.

Zhao Tiancheng sighed.

”Son, that kid’s background is extremely mysterious. Just endure it for now. As soon as I find an opportunity, I will definitely avenge you!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but think of Master Long’s sudden change in attitude that day, and his heart filled with resentment.

Zhao Peng said worriedly,

”But Dad, even Master Long won’t help us. What are we going to do?”

Zhao Tiancheng gave a cold laugh and slowly pulled out a valuable piece of calligraphy and painting from behind him.

”Dad, what’s that for?”

Zhao Peng was completely confused.

Zhao Tiancheng said smugly,

”There’s a big shot holding a banquet at the Lige Hotel today. It seems he wants to introduce a certain junior to everyone.”

Saying this, he waved the valuable artwork in his hand, his face full of confidence.

”And that big shot’s favorite hobby is collecting. I believe this piece of art will definitely win his favor, and then he’ll introduce us to more connections!”

Zhao Peng was instantly overjoyed!

”Haha, Dad, you’re the one who thinks ahead!”

Zhao Tiancheng nodded, pleased with himself.

”When that time comes, as long as we can get to know some powerful people, the Chen Family and that scoundrel Long Wu will all be buried along with that kid!”

Zhao Peng suddenly frowned and asked curiously,

”Dad, what kind of background does a junior have, for even a big shot like that to introduce him so formally?”

Zhao Tiancheng shook his head, his expression grave.

”I’m not sure. I heard it might be a rich young master from the capital coming to Ming City to expand his interests. At the banquet, make sure you keep your eyes peeled!”
