Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 368: Chapter 367 I Just Consider Her a Friend

However, Huo Qianfang never gave the order from beginning to end.

She took a deep breath and nodded slowly, ”Fine! I’ll admit you’ve got guts! Today, I’ll let you off the hook. But this is not over. This song, I’m taking it. And from now on, I want all the songs you write!”

Having said that, Huo Qianfang turned around and said in a deep voice, ”Let’s go!”

The two women behind her looked puzzled, and Sister Qing followed, asking softly, ”Miss, you’re just going to let them go like that?”

”Do you have a problem with that?” Huo Qianfang said sternly.

Sister Qing shuddered in fear and hastily replied in a low voice, ”Not at all!”

Without wasting more words, Huo Qianfang got back into the car, took a deep look at Su Yang, and then drove off with a roar.

On this side, Su Yang still wore a light smile: ”Come on, let’s continue sitting. Everything’s getting cold.”

After sitting down and continuing to eat, Ying’er’s face was full of worry. She said softly, ”Su Yang, Huo Qianfang is very domineering... You... You should be careful of her from now on...”

”No worries,” Su Yang said with a light smile. ”No one can take away what I give to you!”

Ying’er’s cheeks reddened, her eyes slightly moistened, and when she looked at Su Yang, there was an unusual sparkle in her gaze.

The next morning, Su Yang and his party returned to Pingnan Province.

At the Shangguan residence, they also learned about Ying’er’s experiences in Pingbei Province. Now, everyone in the Shangguan family was joyful. How much money Ying’er made wasn’t the key issue; the crucial point was that Ying’er had proved herself to everyone—she truly could succeed on this path!

Of course, Su Yang also received everyone’s gratitude, as everyone knew that Ying’er’s success was entirely due to Su Yang’s help.

Even Elder Master Shangguan personally invited Su Yang for tea. They talked for a long time, an attention which no other junior had ever received from the elder!

After lunch, Su Yang left the Shangguan residence. Now that Ying’er’s matter was resolved, he was ready to go back.

Uncle Kang had intended to drive Su Yang away, but Su Yang refused. He didn’t like the style of travelling by car; he preferred trains, where he could enjoy the scenery around him.

However, before Su Yang reached the train station, he was stopped on the road by a car.

The person in the car was none other than Ying’er’s sister, Shangguan Xue’er!

Xue’er still wore a stern face, but when she saw Su Yang, her expression softened noticeably, and she wasn’t as hostile as before.

”Miss Xue’er!” Uncle Kang said respectfully.

”Uncle Kang, you can go back first. I’ll take him,” Xue’er said.

Uncle Kang looked at Su Yang, then back at Shangguan Xue’er, with a face full of shock. Such an occurrence was very rare.

Ever since Shangguan Xue’er took her vow of never marrying, she barely had any contact with men. Her assistants, the people around her, even her bodyguards were all female. For her to come out in a car and offer to drive Su Yang was truly unprecedented.

But Uncle Kang didn’t say anything and nodded before leaving.

As he watched Uncle Kang leave, Xue’er turned to Su Yang, ”Shall we go for a walk?”

”The train is about to leave,” Su Yang said with a smile. ”Can’t we make it short?”

Xue’er’s face immediately showed some anger. A beauty like her, on any regular day, which man wouldn’t want to listen to her for even an extra second of conversation? Yet Su Yang seemed completely unwilling to be with her, urging her to cut to the chase?

”There are many trains to Nanluo City, you can take the next one!” Xue’er said coldly.

”The next train isn’t until after two o’clock, and we won’t get to Nanluo City until six,” Su Yang said with a smile. ”That means we’d miss the six o’clock showing of Boonie Bears!”

”You...” Xue’er was furious. How old are you to still be watching Boonie Bears?

Nevertheless, Xue’er ended up not losing her temper and said coldly, ”Get in the car!”

Xue’er got into the car first, slammed the door shut with a loud ’bang,’ clearly exhibiting her anger.

Su Yang shrugged and still took the passenger seat.

Xue’er started the car, and like venting her frustration, she pressed hard on the accelerator, and the sports car shot out.

Su Yang hadn’t even had the chance to fasten his seatbelt, but sitting in the car, he remained as stable as Mount Tai, not moving an inch.

Xue’er couldn’t help but be surprised, but she felt even angrier. She had intended to intimidate Su Yang with her driving, but since she hadn’t gained any advantage, it naturally made her upset.

With a screeching sound, Xue’er hit the brakes, and the car abruptly stopped under the shade of a tree.

”Miss, did you buy your driver’s license?” Su Yang asked with a laugh.

Grinding her teeth, Xue’er angrily said, ”Su Yang, I didn’t come to talk to you about this nonsense!”

”So what useful things do you want to talk about?” Su Yang asked with a smile.

Xue’er took a deep breath, barely suppressing her rage, and said solemnly, ”What do you think about Ying’er?”

”She’s great!” Su Yang replied.

”Great? What kind of ’great’?” Xue’er asked.

Su Yang: ”Great means great!”

”You...” Frustrated but ultimately not losing her cool, Xue’er fell silent for a while before she said softly, ”Ying’er is my sister, but her personality is completely different from mine. She doesn’t have any scheming; whatever people say, she will believe. Therefore, I hope no one deceives her, especially not someone she cares about. Do you understand what I mean?”

”I don’t understand!” Su Yang shook his head.

Xue’er’s face turned icy as she said angrily, ”Let me put it simply for you. If you want to date Ying’er, fine, I agree. But if you decide to be with Ying’er, you have to be good to her for life, take care of her for life, and never deceive her. Any other woman, if you should leave them, then leave. Don’t make her unhappy!”

Su Yang looked at Xue’er closely for a while, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then spoke softly, ”Miss, are you mistaken? When did I say I wanted to be with Ying’er?”

”What do you mean?” Xue’er was infuriated. ”If you don’t want to be with Ying’er, then why are you being so attentive?”

”Heh...” Su Yang gave a cold laugh. ”Miss Xue’er, you really think too highly of yourself. You assume people’s kindness toward you is them being attentive. But it’s different with me.”

”Ying’er is my friend; if she needs help, I will do so. That’s normal; it’s not being attentive. Similarly, for the people around me, whether it’s Fatty, Zhao Qiupeng, Wang Hao, Qi’er, Hu Xiexie, or even Zhao Tao, if they have problems, I will also help with all my might.”

”In my eyes, my friends are equal. There’s no superiority or servility, nor is there any being attentive. You respect me, and I will respect you. If you treat me as a friend, then I’ll go through fire and water for you!”

Having said that, Su Yang let out a soft sigh and looked at Xue’er, ”Miss Xue’er, have you ever had a friend in your life?”

”How could I not have friends!” Xue’er retorted angrily.

”Really?” Su Yang smiled. ”Then do you know what a friend is?”
