Chapter 400 Qin Sheng Can’t Put up with It
What Qin Sheng had said suddenly startled Qin Ran, who did not know what had made him say so. Could it be that Qin Sheng had come across somebody who had confronted him or bullied him previously?
Qin Ran dared not say that no trouble would be caused. She did not say so out of diffidence. That was because none of the attendees of the party today was an ordinary one at all. There were many talented and rich playboys as well as abnormally understated weirdos from the outstanding families among them. Qin Ran was not afraid that Qin Sheng would cause any trouble at all while dealing with the majority of people here, even though it might be somewhat tricky for her to clear up the mess. However, if it were those in the minority who Qin Sheng would offend, it would depend on his reason; for example, if they had bullied Qin Sheng previously. In that case, Qin Ran would be justified to back up Qin Sheng since he had the right to do that at least.
Consequently, Qin Ran needed to know what had happened in detail.
With a smile on her face, Qin Ran stared at Qin Sheng, who looked quite moody, and asked with a smile, “What happened? Did you run into someone who bullied you before? Do you need your sister to back you up and avenge you?”
However, Qin Ran found Qin Sheng’s answer funny and did not know whether she should laugh or cry. She thought, “His character is indeed the same as Dad’s.” This was because Qin Sheng replied, “Nothing at all. It’s just that I find some people to be an eyesore.”
Qin Ran did not how she should reply at the moment. Of course, she would not accuse Qin Sheng. She thought it must be justifiable for Qin Sheng to say so since he was not the kind of person who was powerful, intransigent, and arrogant. Consequently, she said, “Then you should tell me why.”
It was not until this time that Qin Sheng admitted it honestly and said, “I sense that he is bullying my friend.”
Qin Ran finally figured it out. She sighed and said, “Oh, that’s why. However, I also need to know who you are referring to and how you are going to make a scene. After all, some people here today are indeed not ordinary. It’s not that our family dares not offend them, but that it would be somewhat troublesome for Dad to clear the mess up for us.”
Qin Sheng chuckled and replied in a low voice, “Hahaha, Sister, see how scared you are. In your opinion, is your brother the kind of person who is arrogant? Of course, I should know if I can offend my counterpart first before I act. If the answer is no, then of course, I definitely won’t play with fire. Even if I can offend him, I will do so in moderation by reasoning with him first. If reasoning does not work at all, I will compete with him and then see who is more competent.”
Though Qin Sheng had explained it easily, Qin Ran felt surprised and astounded after hearing him out. She gave Qin Sheng a hard look and said, “I see you are making fun of me on purpose. Now, tell me who is an eyesore to you so that I can advise you whether you can offend him or not.”
Pointing at the group of people that was only five meters away from them, Qin Sheng said, “The one on the right side who does not look well is my friend. I don’t know who the woman by his side is, whether she is supposed to be his girlfriend or friend. The two men across from them, as well as the woman, are eyesores to me.”
Qin Ran squinted and eyed the group of people not far away from them up and down. Anybody could tell that Qin Sheng’s friend had been bullied since the look on his face was ghastly. The woman by his side looked quite agitated. As for two men across from them and the plain woman, they smiled somewhat complacently. The looks in their eyes were disdainful.
Qin Ran said meaningfully, “I don’t know your friend, but I do know the woman by his side, who does not have many connections with me. I know two men across from them, who could be counted as the group of people who are just capable of stepping into the threshold of this circle. I don’t know the woman at all. However, I estimate that she should be at almost the same level as her male companions.”
Qin Sheng got straight to the point somewhat anxiously and asked, “Then do you dare to offend them or not?”
Qin Ran replied quite confidently, “Feel free to do whatever you want to them. I will back you up.” She found it fortunate that the people who Qin Sheng intended to offend were not those who would be difficult to deal with once the scene was caused.
Qin Sheng heard her words, stood up without hesitation, and walked over.
After Qin Sheng left, Ma Weiyang, who had not been paying attention to either Qin Ran or Qin Sheng, asked somewhat confusedly, “What is Qin Sheng going to do? What were you discussing and whispering about a moment ago?”
Qin Ran explained smilingly, “A show is about to be on. You and I probably will have to back Qin Sheng up later. Let’s see whether those people are considerate or not.”
Ma Weiyang looked quite confused and did not get Qin Ran’s point. Qin Ran did not bother to explain to her and just kept staring at Qin Sheng’s side.
Among the group of people not far away, the man who had been bullied was a nobody but he was Qin Sheng’s roommate at college, Cao Yufeng, who had been ranked in second place in the dormitory. The woman standing by his side was his fiancée, who had gotten engaged to him recently. Otherwise, Qin Sheng would not have liked doing things for anybody. He would not have intended to stand up for whoever he came across. After all, however stupid he was, he knew clearly that it was not appropriate to make a scene here, which would cause trouble for him.
Qin Sheng could simply turn a blind eye to anybody except for this brother who had been living with him for four years at college. After all, they had skipped classes, drunk, and fought together. After all, back when he had returned to Shanghai, upon learning about the news of Qin Sheng, Cao Yufeng had rushed so far out of the way from Beijing to Shanghai to meet him and get plastered with him, then rushed back to Beijing hurriedly the next day. If he had not treated Qin Sheng sincerely, he, who was calm, would not have acted on impulse.
Consequently, regardless of whether Qin Sheng could offend the counterpart today, never would he step back. He definitely would stand by Cao Yufeng’s side, advance and retreat together with him, and shoulder the responsibility with him together if they were in trouble. After all, Qin Sheng would not stand by and watch him being bullied by others. Speaking of the four persons in his dormitory at college, all of them were good at fighting and causing a scene.
It did not occur to Qin Sheng that he would run into Lao Er here at such an occasion. This should be the second time he had seen Cao Yufeng after he had come back to Shanghai. This kind of situation happened mostly because of him, who had disappeared all of a sudden. However, Lao Cao had been contacting and calling him frequently. Qin Sheng knew that Lao Cao was quite busy with his work. Otherwise, he would have gone to the Yangtze River Delta and turned to him. After all, he knew that the reason why Lao Cao had been working so laboriously was that he wanted to get further along on his career journey.
The man standing across from Lao Cao said enigmatically, “Lao Cao, I was just wondering why I would run into you here. It turns out you are here using a woman’s connections.”
As Lao Cao heard his words, the look on his face was somewhat ghastly. However, he dared not offend the man across from him. It did not occur to him that he would come across the so-called rival in love here. Otherwise, he would have not come to this place.
Though Lao Cao was silent, his fiancée by his side could not stand it anymore and said, “Du Xuan, what do you mean? Are you picking on us on purpose?” Of course, she would not stand by and see her man being insulted.
The man named Du Xuan said merrily, “Xiu Xiu, I knew that you had gotten engaged a few days ago and wondered what kind of Mr. Right your family members had chosen for you. I found out it was him later on. You have no idea how sorry I feel for you.”
Du Xuan’s friend echoed him and said, “Yeah. Xiu Xiu, the way I see it, based on your family background, you should find someone who has an equal social rank as you. Am I right? Otherwise, he would not deserve you. It did not occur to me that you had found such a man.”
The woman named Xiu Xiu snorted and said, “It’s none of your business what kind of men I like. You are worrying about nothing.”
At this moment, the beautiful woman who was standing by Du Xuan’s side and holding onto Du Xuan’s arms closely stared at Cao Yufeng and said somewhat viciously and complacently, “It does not occur to me that you are such a man. This society is indeed a pragmatic one. It is not until today that I know the reason why you chose her over me. That was because I am simply too ordinary and she can help you get whatever you want. I misjudged you previously.”
After Xiu Xiu heard the woman’s words, she said quite frankly, “You are not qualified to speak here.”
The beautiful woman was not afraid at all. After all, she was Du Xuan’s girlfriend, and Du Xuan definitely would stand by her side.
As expected, Du Xuan said unhappily, “Xiu Xiu, what do you mean? Can’t my girlfriend complain? Could it be that everybody should be the same as this man you have found, who dares not even say one word? Isn’t he useless?”
The woman named Xiu Xiu glimpsed at her man, feeling somewhat sorry for him. She knew that he was not useless and a chicken at all. He just did not want to cause any trouble here.
At this time, Cao Yufeng was hesitant for a while before replying to the beautiful woman, “If I like you, then I do. If I don’t like you, that’s it. The relationship is nothing more than that. If you do so to avenge me, I can understand your feeling. But I think it is not worthy of you to do so.”
After the beautiful woman heard Cao Yufeng’s words, it seemed that he had found her sore spot. She said indignantly, “Cao Yufeng, you are not entitled to judge me. You chose Luo Xiu because of your future career, didn’t you?”
Cao Yufeng shook his head, smiled bitterly, and stared at the beautiful woman as he said, “Yes, I did. Do you have guts to say that you like Du Xuan sincerely?”
As the beautiful woman heard his words, the smile on her face was gone in an instant. She bit her lips and did not say anything at all. That was because she knew that the man had not lied at all. Originally, she had thought he had chosen Luo Xiu because of his career, which she could have accepted at least. However, it turned out that the real answer went the other way around, which she could not accept so quickly.
It was true that to avenge Cao Yufeng, she had said yes to Du Xuan in the end, who had been chasing after her all the time. Whether it was in his career or his love life, Cao Yufeng was Du Xuan’s hardcore enemy. Cao Yufeng dared not offend Du Xuan at all due to his family background.
She had a crush on Cao Yufeng for two years and had done whatever she could. However, whatever she had done, Cao Yufeng was not moved at all. As the saying goes, if you can’t get something, ruin it. The beautiful woman thought, “Since you chose Luo Xiu, intending to go higher, then I will go to your enemy’s side and shatter your dreams.”
After Luo Xiu heard what Cao Yufeng had said, she was moved and felt happy. Though she had been dubious about Cao Yufeng’s motive since a lot of friends of hers had said so, she did not regret choosing Cao Yufeng at all. However, she was willing to trust him wholeheartedly today.
Originally, Du Xuan had hated Cao Yufeng so much. This was because in his career, Cao Yufeng was more capable than him and the leaders thought more highly of him. And speaking of his love life, he was a loser from beginning to end. The woman he liked had a crush on Cao Yufeng. Of course he had reasons to hate him! He also knew that Cai Han had chosen him to get revenge on Cao Yufeng, which made him hate Cao Yufeng even more.
Consequently, Du Xuan gripped Cao Yufeng’s collars directly and said, “Cao Yufeng, you f**king repeat your words and let’s see what will happen.”
Cao Yufeng confronted Du Xuan directly and replied without ever stepping back, “Should I repeat my words? Du Xuan, you know it better than me.” At first, of course, he had not intended to cause any trouble since he knew the importance of this place. If he did cause a scene, not only would he suffer losses but he would also cause trouble for Xiu Xiu. However, he did not care about that anymore now. He did not want others to say that the man Luo Xiu had chosen was a loser and a coward. Though he did not care about what others thought of him, he did care about what others thought of Luo Xiu.
As Cao Yufeng just finished his words, Du Xuan punched his face directly, making Cao Yufeng step back several steps. Du Xuan stared at Cao Yufeng smilingly, who seemed to be staring at a miserable loser.
Cao Yufeng did not fight back. He could tolerate this punch. However, if Du Xuan kept acting aggressively, he definitely would not put up with him anymore.
However, at this moment, a man who had walked over happened to witness this scene. The look on his face was quite ghastly. Though Cao Yufeng could put up with it, he could not. Consequently, he said playfully, “Lao Er, when did you become such a chicken? You did not even fight back after getting hit.”
Cao Yufeng turned around subconsciously and stared at the man who was speaking. He was at a loss instantly. Staring at the man in front of him attentively, he seemed to be doubting reality…
