Chapter 704: Chapter 678: Great Fun Now
Old Mai completely gave up resistance. He understood that he was no match for Chen Xiaoqian, and she was doing it on purpose. I’ll bear it!
The complaints at the next table continued.
“What time is it now? Why hasn’t she come yet?” Swollen Eye looked at his watch and complained.
“Such bad manners, children from a small county town are just no good.” The middle-aged woman spoke as if she came from a big city.
“I heard she practiced martial arts on the mountain since she was little, a girl living with a bunch of men. We shouldn’t have let her in the house. What does my brother see in her…”
Mountain… martial arts?!
Shuixian looked at Xiaoqian, her eyes full of doubt. Qian’er, can it be such a coincidence?
Xiaoqian curled her lips. It was just a coincidence.
Shuixian finally understood why Boss Qian was so interested in a stranger. It turned out that the people sitting next door were Liu Mei’s boyfriend’s family!
Boss Qian was definitely not nosy, and if it wasn’t her business, she wouldn’t even bother to look. But if anyone crossed into her territory and dared to touch her people, she would dare to overturn their ancestors’ graves—hey, it was quite smooth. Shuixian silently gave herself a thumbs-up.
“The woman doesn’t act like a woman, always going crazy. I really don’t like this kind of woman. I don’t know what kind of family can raise a child like this. I’m embarrassed to tell my relatives that my son found such a daughter-in-law.” The middle-aged woman at the next table emphasized her dissatisfaction with her future daughter-in-law numerous times within a few minutes.
Feeling embarrassed to mention having such a daughter-in-law but have no shame in eyeing her property?
“What’s wrong with these people?” Shuixian asked Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian shook her head, “Having a bad character is not the same as having a mental illness. They are not sick, but many patients with mental illness are harmed by such selfish people.”
Shuixian really wanted her bodyguard to kick them a few times, but considering that Old Mai was a fake, she could only suppress her anger and continue to listen.
The more she listened, the angrier she got. Liu Mei was their good friend. How did she become a bitch that’s chasing men in the mouths of these people?
Having a meal with these kinds of people made her lose her appetite. Shuixian got up to touch up her makeup. Xiaoqian went out with her, and Old Mai followed. Xiaoqian completely ignored him, pretending not to see.
In the bathroom, Shuixian and Xiaoqian washed their hands side by side.
“I can’t eat anymore. This is too disgusting. Are they really Liu Mei’s future in-laws?” Shuixian asked Xiaoqian.
“They are Liu Mei’s boyfriend’s family, but not future in-laws.” Boss Qian shook her head. This marriage wouldn’t happen.
“Living in a house bought by the woman and still saying such things about her, do they have no sense of shame?”
“In the eyes of these people, their sons are so outstanding that they can attract girls to chase after them. Living in a big house has nothing to do with the woman who paid for it. It’s their son’s boundless charm that deserves the credit. Shuixian, the issue you should be concerned about right now is not Liu Mei, you should know what you need to think about.”
With Xiaoqian’s reminder, Shuixian suddenly realized that there was still a Mai Hadi from the Carter family lurking in her life. She was so preoccupied with Liu Mei’s peculiar boyfriend’s family that she had forgotten about such a big issue.
“Your current troubles are the same as those of the outrageous family out there.”
Shuixian guessed that Mai Hadi had a bug on her, so even now in the ladies’ room, she might not be safe. She didn’t know how to answer Xiaoqian, so she quietly looked at her.
“Shuixian, are you very angry about the actions of Liu Mei’s boyfriend’s family?” @@novelbin@@
“Yes, I wish I could slap them a few times.”
“Then keep in mind what I’m going to do next. After you understand my intentions, you’ll know what to do with the ‘Schrodinger’ issue.”
Xiaoqian’s words had a double meaning. She was very subtle, but she believed Shuixian’s IQ could understand.
Although she didn’t understand Qian’er’s intentions yet, Shuixian knew that if she followed Xiaoqian’s words, she would definitely understand what Mai Hadi was up to.
The farthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when Old Mai clearly heard what Xiaoqian and Shuixian were saying but couldn’t understand their intentions. Mai Hadi heard the conversation between Xiaoqian and Shuixian but didn’t notice any relation to him, so he didn’t take the conversation to heart.
This also doomed his tragic fate of being played by Xiaoqian to near-death and then to be sent away by Xiaoqian as a “flower”. That’s a story for later.
As Shuixian followed Xiaoqian to their seats, Liu Mei’s future mother-in-law and Swollen Eye’s younger sister came over. Seeing Xiaoqian and Shuixian holding hands and looking classy, Swollen Eye’s mom looked twice and said in a dialect to her daughter that these must be some rich boss’s mistresses.
Swollen Eye looked at Xiaoqian and Shuixian, her gaze making them uncomfortable. She also chattered away in her dialect.
She probably thought Xiaoqian and Shuixian couldn’t understand the dialect, so she didn’t bother to lower her voice and spoke at a regular volume.
Hehe, picking on people who can’t understand the dialect? Xiaoqian raised her eyebrows and said smoothly in English to Shuixian, “Can you understand what they’re saying?”
“It looks like they’re gossiping about us, and not saying anything nice.” Shuixian replied in English.
As they spoke, they looked at Swollen Eye, making her feel as if they were talking about her.
Swollen Eye didn’t want to show weakness and continued to viciously comment on Xiaoqian and Shuixian in her dialect.
“Old Mai, aren’t you from the noble Carter family? Did you understand that?” Xiaoqian asked Mai Hadi.
Mai Hadi shook his head in annoyance. Their family was not a translation machine. It was already amazing that they could understand Chinese, let alone dialects.
“You’re as arrogant as if you’ve grown several basketballs. You can’t even learn such a simple thing. Are you worthy of your noble surname?” Xiaoqian spoke in Chinese this time, mixed with the English word basketball. She was talking to Old Mai.
“Some people just love to show off, like they’re the only ones who’ve ever learned English. Basketball? We learned that in middle school! Half in Chinese, half in English, it’s like they think they’re so amazing.” Swollen Eye thought Xiaoqian’s long English sentence earlier was meant to ridicule her, so she didn’t hold back, raising her voice in retaliation.
Swollen Eye’s level was only enough to understand the word basketball. She couldn’t understand the rest of the long sentence, but Xiaoqian’s disdainful eyes had successfully misled Swollen Eye, making her think Xiaoqian was talking bad about her in English. So she couldn’t wait to say sarcastic words, wanting to prove she wasn’t illiterate.
“Interrupting other people’s conversations is not a good thing, especially when you can’t even understand what I’m saying. What does ‘basket’ mean if you remove the ‘ball’?” Xiaoqian asked Swollen Eye.
“Basket!”
“So what does ‘basket’ mean if you add ‘ball’?”
“Basketball!” Swollen Eye showed off her knowledge without hesitation.
“Pfft!” Shuixian finally caught on and laughed. It was too funny!
What do you think?
