Chapter 131: Are You Looking for a Beating?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Che Qin buried her head in a book in the bookstore. Two days later, Zhang Rongqing came looking for her.

Coincidentally, Lin Gantang was also present.

“Your bookstore is really good. It’s a pity that I didn’t manage to make it for the opening. It’s not too late to come and show support now, right?” she said to Lin Gantang in a familiar manner.

She was so enthusiastic, as if the bottle of skincare products that caused her to suffer from a face full of pimples had never existed. It was as if there was no barrier between the two of them.

Lin Gantang did not let her hold her hand and avoided her, saying, “It’s just so-so. Take a look around.”

“Eh? Your pearl bracelet is so beautiful. Is it convenient for you to take it off and show it to me?” Zhang Rongqing stared at the pearls on the necklace. “The luster of pearls is really good. It’s not cheap, right?”

Lin Gantang did not see the hot-tempered and irritable Zhang Rongqing that Che Qin mentioned, but her greedy look remained unchanged.

Take it off, try it. It really suits me. Give it to me?

Lin Gantang could almost guess her next move.

“My boyfriend gave it to me. It’s not appropriate.” Lin Gantang refused.

Zhang Rongqing felt a little regretful. She was short of money now. If she could get Lin Gantang’s bracelet, she could sell it second-hand for some money.

What a pity.

“Then go ahead. I’ll talk to Che Qin.”

Zhang Rongqing sat opposite Che Qin. The perfunctory smile she had when she was with Lin Gantang was gone, and her face darkened on the spot.

Che Qin’s hand tightly gripped the book.

“My friends are having a drink with me tonight. Come with me and help me drink up.”

Zhang Rongqing’s tone made Che Qin very unhappy. “My alcohol tolerance is not good.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? There are rich second-generation heirs at the table. If your father knew, he definitely wouldn’t want you to miss it, right?” Zhang Rongqing reminded.

She shot a warning glare at Che Qin and prepared to leave regardless of whether she agreed or not. She stood up and took a big step forward. In addition, she didn’t look where she was going, so she directly bumped into Le Yu who was coming from the front.

Le Yu slipped and fell beside Che Qin. He crashed into two chairs and trapped Che Qin’s right leg.

Le Yu was wearing a simple sweater and trousers and a bookstore apron. Zhang Rongqing did not recognize him at first and cursed, “Why don’t you look where you’re going? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?”

“Zhang Rongqing, are you looking for a beating?” Other than his father, when had Le Yu ever been scolded by someone? He immediately scolded back.

Only then did Zhang Rongqing recognize that it was Le Yu who had bumped into her.

Lin Gantang heard the commotion and came over to observe. She realized that Zhang Rongqing’s temper was indeed different from before.

“You work in a bookstore? Are you serious?” Zhang Rongqing’s gaze moved between Lin Gantang and Le Yu, and she left, saying in a nasty tone, “Forget it, tsk!”

Le Yu then remembered that he had knocked someone down and quickly helped her up. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you okay? Hey, you look a little familiar.”

“We’ve met before. You probably didn’t notice me.” Che Qin sat down with the help of a chair and rolled up her pants. She realized that her calf was red from the impact of the chair. She moved her leg and felt a piercing pain.

Che Qin smiled. “I fell just in time. 1 don’t have to go to her friend’s drinking party tonight.”

Le Yu was without a care. When he heard her say that it was fine, he apologized again and picked up a rag to get to work.

“Le Yu is a shop assistant?” Che Qin carefully lowered her pants. Le Yu wasn’t so short of money that he needed a part-time job, right?

Lin Gantang shook his head helplessly. “Just take him as a shop assistant.”

He had delivered himself to her, and she did not even need to pay him a salary. It would be a waste not to use him.

Le Yu was working against her and vowed to get Wen Yanqing’s phone number. He would squat there the entire day, not believing that he wouldn’t be able to get it!

He ran to Qian Ruoxi and sighed. “Is your boss going to be heartbroken? Why didn’t her boyfriend visit her?”

“Yes, he did. He even brought Boss some candied haws,” Qian Ruoxi said.

“When did this happen? Why didn’t 1 see it!” Le Yu was shocked.

Qian Ruoxi recalled, “I think you visited the washroom. By the time you came out, he had already left.”

Le Yu held his head and wailed.

His luck was really bad!
