1606 Slapping Chai Qing In the Face
Xia Mingcheng hesitated for a while before he replied uncertainly, “I’m not sure!”
Chi Shuyan was quite disappointed when Xia Mingcheng couldn’t give her a definite answer. However, from their conversation just now, she was more inclined to believe that when Yan Liling gave the talisman to Xia Mingcheng, it had already been a little charred. In other words, Yan Liling had already encountered some things before she gave the talisman to Xia Mingcheng. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given the talisman to him. It was most likely that Yan Liling knew that the talisman was indeed useful, so she was afraid that something would happen to Xia Mingcheng, and immediately gave the talisman to him.
Chi Shuyan guessed that was most likely what had happened.
The only thing that puzzled her was that since Yan Liling believed that this talisman was genuine, why didn’t she look for Chi Shuyan when something happened?
Chi Shuyan felt that there was something fishy about this. It seemed that she had to go to the film crew again, and get Yan Zhengming and the others to help her ask around.
Seeing Xia Mingcheng staring anxiously at the talisman in her hand, Chi Shuyan returned it to him.
The two drank their coffee, and she probed a little more about him and Yan Liling before she gave up.
The two left together. Probably because of the talisman, Xia Mingcheng’s attitude toward her changed drastically, and he was quite friendly. Seeing that she hadn’t driven over, he even took the initiative to offer her a ride.
Chi Shuyan turned him down, and Xia Mingcheng nodded.
Before the two parted ways, Chi Shuyan just told him to keep the talisman properly; she wasn’t in a hurry to tell him the inside story of the talisman. She had a thought, and took out a few Exorcism Talismans, Guiding Lightning Talismans and Safety Talismans, and probed if he wanted to buy them. If he refused, she didn’t plan to force him. Who would have thought that Xia Mingcheng would really agree to buy them?
Level 4 Safety Talismans cost 100,000, and Level 5 Exorcism Talismans and Guiding Lightning Talismans cost 150,000 each.
His face didn’t change at all when he heard the price, and he bought a lot of Exorcism Talismans and Guiding Lightning Talismans. What he bought most of were the Safety Talismans, so that almost everyone in his family could have one.
Chi Shuyan was stupefied. She looked up at him and was even more satisfied. This kid had good eyesight and knew that her talismans were good stuff.
After the other party transferred the money, Chi Shuyan immediately took out a handful of talismans, counted them, and handed them to him. Thinking of how Xia Mingcheng supported her business so much, Chi Shuyan gave him a few more pointers in a rare moment. “If your family presses you to get married during this period of time, don’t be in a hurry to agree. That’s all I have to say. Keep the talismans close to you. It’s best not to take them off even in the shower!”
After giving these instructions, Chi Shuyan was about to leave and go home.
A female voice suddenly rang out from behind. “Brother Xia, why are you here? No, why are you with this woman?”
Chi Shuyan and Xia Mingcheng turned their heads in unison. Who else could it be, but Chai Qing?
Chi Shuyan remembered this woman because of how the latter looked down on her; the other party stopped just short of accusing Chi Shuyan of harboring ill intentions toward Xia Mingcheng because of his looks and was deliberately seducing him.
Chi Shuyan was a bit speechless at such a strange person. Hearing this woman’s sharp words now, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Not to mention that Xia Mingcheng wasn’t this woman’s boyfriend at all, she had no right to question him about any woman he was with, alright?
Even if she were his girlfriend and had the right, given her character, they would definitely break up.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to talk to such a strange person, so she deliberately pretended not to know her, and asked Xia Mingcheng, “Mr. Xia, is this your girlfriend?”
Xia Mingcheng immediately denied it. “No!”
“Oh, since you’re not his girlfriend, why do you care so much?” Chi Shuyan continued to sneer coldly. The meaning was especially clear, and she emphasized the word “girlfriend.”
Chai Qing’s face flushed red with fury, and she was speechless. She wished she could dig a hole to hide in.
Xia Mingcheng had been quite happy to see an acquaintance. Who would have thought that Chai Qing would suddenly say something like that? Those who didn’t know better would really think that he and Miss Chi had an ambiguous relationship.
Thinking that, Xia Mingcheng frowned and looked coldly at Chai Qing. He only greeted her indifferently before he continued talking to Chi Shuyan.
Chai Qing felt wronged and was furious, especially when this woman actually humiliated her in front of Brother Xia. Chai Qing felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. Unfortunately, no matter how pitiful she pretended to be, Xia Mingcheng didn’t even look at her; Chai Qing was performing for the blind.
Chi Shuyan gloated from where she watched from the side. She didn’t want to make a fuss with this woman on the streets, so she and Xia Mingcheng found an excuse to leave first.
Before she left, she continued to deliberately needle this Chai woman, and pretended to persuade Xia Mingcheng earnestly, “Mr. Xia, you must keep your eyes open when you find a girlfriend; don’t lower yourself by finding any Tom, Dick or Harry!”
With that parting shot, she turned around and left under Xia Mingcheng’s astonished gaze.
Chi Shuyan’s last sentence struck a nerve, and Chai Qing almost stomped her foot in anger. Her face twisted with fury. She was anxious to retort, but Chi Shuyan’s words made her mind go blank and she forgot everything. In the end, she could only stare hatefully at Chi Shuyan’s back before she said to Xia Mingcheng with a twisted expression, “Brother Xia, this woman has ill intentions toward you!”
“You’re thinking too much!” How could he not know whether or not a woman was interested in him?
At Xia Mingcheng’s words, Chai Qing choked until her face turned green, and she wanted to vomit blood. The only thing she could do was remember this grudge and tell Sister Yuan about it when the time came.
Sister Yuan had always liked Brother Xia. She didn’t believe that Sister Yuan wouldn’t do something if another woman seduced Brother Xia. Sister Yuan’s methods weren’t any worse than hers. That woman was just waiting to be unlucky!
At the thought of the woman’s possible bad luck, Chai Qing’s gloom was swept away.
