Chapter 116: Accidentally Blew up; Murder and Arson

Chapter 116

“It’s fine.”

Qiao Ying put away her smile and resumed her usual aloofness. She took the initiative to reach out and take the porridge from Qin Hanyue’s hands.

Thanks to Qiao Ying, the empty-stomached Cheng Jinyan also got a bowl. As he was drinking it, he saw Qin Hanyue looking straight at him, so he had to ask, "Master Qin, do you have something to say to me?"

Qin Hanyue had a subtle smile on his face. He said, "I just wanted to ask if Master Cheng spent the night here last night."

Cheng Jinyan: "Is there a problem?"

Cheng Jinyan’s tone was not very good.

In the eyes of outsiders, Master Cheng was gentle, gentlemanly, graceful and humorous.

He was serious when needed in the courtroom, and flexible when appropriate.

But the truth was that gangster princes didn’t have such good tempers, especially around Qiao Ying and Ye Si. It was easiest for him to expose his true nature.

And he had just been in a fight last night. Ye Si was still sitting next to him, so it was inevitable that the identity of the master lawyer was temporarily out of reach.

Not to mention that Qin Hanyue had just come over to challenge him, trying to take control from time to time. And now he was finding fault for no reason.

Cheng Jinyan's head was still hurting, so naturally he was not in a good mood.

Qin Hanyue: "We are all adults. Miss Qiao is still a girl. Master Cheng should understand the importance of reputation better than I do."

The photos of them embracing had already caused quite a stir.

When Cheng Jinyan heard this, he wanted to laugh.

Then he realized that he had seen the relationship between Qin Hanyue and Qiao Ying — Qin Hanyue had feelings for Qiao Ying.

Cheng Jinyan: "Is Master Qin managing too much?" Then he glanced downwards, "Besides, I just said that she and I have always been close."

So he saw him as a love rival.

Was he so impatient already? Nothing had happened yet. If that bastard Ye Si came back one day, wouldn't he be jumping mad?

Having figured out Qin Hanyue’s mindset, Cheng Jinyan really wanted to learn from Ye Si at this moment and see what Qin Hanyue would do.

Before Qin Hanyue could respond,

Qiao Ying mocked: "Reputation? When I lived under the same roof with Master Qin for those two months, why didn't Master Qin mention reputation?"

Qiao Ying was simply asking a question, not targeting anyone or anything.

Qin Yan: Miss Qiao, you leaked it yourself.

Cheng Jinyan: "What? When did this happen?"

Cheng Jinyan looked at her: "What are you hiding from me?"

Qin Hanyue was upset when he heard this. His first reaction was naturally to think that Qiao Ying was defending Cheng Jinyan.

But when he saw Cheng Jinyan get anxious, he belatedly realized that Qiao Ying's words had inadvertently confirmed something. Then he saw Qin Hanyue hook the corners of his mouth slightly, calm and unhurried.

Qiao Ying explained: “In the summer vacation, in M Province. Master Qin happened to be doing business there, so I went along.”

Cheng Jinyan: "Go to M Province to do business?"

What kind of improper business was this?

Qin Hanyue: "Is it so strange? Miss Qiao was on vacation in M Province at the time.”

Cheng Jinyan: What riddle are these two playing?

What is this girl hiding from him?

"I didn't tell you, this house belongs to Master Qin. Since the owner minds, you should leave quickly." Qiao Ying said at this time.

Because of Cheng Jinyan, Qiao Ying heard people talking about her no matter which corner of the school she was at.

The bolder ones even asked her when she could invite Cheng Jinyan to give lectures at school again, saying they didn't get to see him in person yesterday.

Qiao Ying completely overshadowed Huo Chengdong, Xu Zhixi and others at Beijing University.

Huo Chengdong came scrambling to find her.

“Sis Ying, did you get the money?”

“Yeah, what about you?”

Huo Chengdong: “Me what?”

Qiao Ying: “Watched people dance?”

Huo Chengdong almost choked on his own saliva.

“How... How is that possible? Why would I watch Su Qingyu dance something like that? With a washboard figure, watching her is worse than watching myself.”

Then he fawned up to her again: “Sis Ying, the National Day long weekend is coming up soon, seven days. Got any plans?”

Qiao Ying: “Not sure yet.”

Huo Chengdong heard there was a chance: “Not sure means there are activities right? Can I join one?”

Qiao Ying: “Killing, arson. Wanna come?”

Huo Chengdong: “Sis Ying you really know how to joke.”

Just as they were talking,

Huo Chengdong’s sister Huo Jingyue came: “Qiao Ying, I’m Huo Chengdong’s sister, Huo Jingyue. Nice to meet you.”

Qiao Ying looked at her and thought to herself: So she is the woman Huo Chengdong said who didn’t want Qin Hanyue?

Then she shook hands with her briefly.

Huo Chengdong: “Sis...you...”

Huo Jingyue: “Shut up, none of your business. I’m talking with schoolmate Qiao. Stay out of our way wherever is cool for you.” Huo Jingyue spoke extremely fast. She said emotionlessly and then immediately switched back to a smiling face looking at Qiao Ying.

“Schoolmate Qiao Ying, may I ask if you and Master Cheng Jinyan... are good friends?”

Qiao Ying: “Yeah.”

Huo Jingyue clenched her fists: “That’s wonderful.”

Qiao Ying: “What’s the matter?”

“It’s like this, I...” Seeing Huo Chengdong still there, Huo Jingyue glared at him: “Can you please get lost? Adults are talking, kids keep away.”

Huo Chengdong pointed at Qiao Ying speechlessly: “She’s even younger than me...”

Under Huo Jingyue’s fierce stare, Huo Chengdong shut his mouth and silently walked away.

“Is Master Cheng still in the capital?”

“No.”

Huo Jingyue's gaze visibly fell from expectation in a noticeable manner.

After that,

Huo Jingyue blabbered on and on about things related to Cheng Jinyan. Between the lines it was not difficult to hear her admiration and adoration for Cheng Jinyan.

Taking the chance while Huo Jingyue was catching her breath,

Qiao Ying interrupted her and asked, “Do you like him?”

Huo Jingyue was stunned for a moment, not expecting Qiao Ying to be so straightforward.
