199: Li Miaomiao's wicked thoughts

“Hmph! In the past, Zhang Zhicheng, that old fox, always protected that bitch's son, so I never had a chance to deal with him. But Yida, don't worry, that old man's health is getting worse day by day, and the company's shares have already been secretly transferred to your name. When he comes back, I'll kick him out directly. From now on, he shouldn't even think about stepping through the door of the Zhang family.”

“Hehe, you were too kind to him in the past. You should have driven him out long ago. Without the Zhang family, I think this good-for-nothing will starve to death on the streets sooner or later.”

Zhang Yida's lips curled into a smug, sinister smile.

“Yida, Young Master Bai is Bai Jingming's only son. The majority of our Zhang family's business is in the City, and we'll have to rely on the Bai family for many things in the future. To show our sincerity, you should go personally this time.

Remember, don't neglect Young Master Bai. These connections will be your resources after you take over the Zhang family's business.”

Ye Lan changed the subject.

“Understood, Mother. I'll go personally right away.”

On the other side, Fang Rui hung up the phone and gave Qin Shou a wry smile, saying with a hint of apology, “Brother Qin, I'm really sorry about this. I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Now, I'm no longer in charge of this house sale, and I've made you come all this way for nothing. I'm truly sorry.”

Fang Rui was a smooth talker and had long seen that Qin Shou was a person who handled himself with great discretion, someone worth befriending. Although he had lost his job, a person living in this world couldn't avoid needing help, so he wanted to leave a good impression on Qin Shou, thinking it might come in handy later.

What Fang Rui didn't know was that these few words of his made Qin Shou appreciate his well-rounded approach to life.

Qin Shou smiled and nodded, saying, “It's fine. It's just buying a house. If this one doesn't work, we can buy another. We can exchange contact information. Brother Fang, you don't have a job now, but if there's any good opportunity in the future, I can introduce you.”

“Really? Then I'd be very grateful, Brother Qin.”

Fang Rui's eyes lit up at the words, and he immediately took out his business card and handed it to Qin Shou.

“I said, are you two done or not? Hand over the key quickly, don't delay me from viewing the house, understand?”

Bai Piaochang had now won a round, and he was extremely smug, his mouth almost twisted to the sky with pride.

Fang Rui saw Bai Piaochang's arrogant attitude, and a flicker of displeasure crossed his face. However, he had excellent self-control, and even though he had lost his job, he didn't react. Instead, he took out the key, intending to hand it to Bai Piaochang.

Unexpectedly, Li Miaomiao, who was standing by, wouldn't have it. The more she looked at Bai Piaochang's face, the angrier she got. Just as Bai Piaochang was about to take the key from Fang Rui's hand, Li Miaomiao snatched it away.

“Why should we give it to him? We were here first. Even if the salesperson changed, we should still be the first to look.”

“You little brat, are you looking for death?” Bai Piaochang's expression was grim.

“What? Do you want to kill someone?” Li Miaomiao raised an eyebrow.

“Forget it, don't make trouble. We don't have to buy this particular house. Let's go look at other ones.”

Qin Shou didn't have the childish temper of Li Miaomiao. After being reborn, he already possessed a mature mind, so he naturally wouldn't act on impulse.

“Hehe, now you know how to back down? Let me tell you, from now on, when you see me, Young Master Bai, it's best to walk around me.”

Bai Piaochang said smugly when he saw Qin Shou voluntarily show weakness.

Qin Shou sneered, thinking to himself that he was indeed an ignorant and fearless second-generation rich kid who only knew how to show off.

“Qin Shou, look at how arrogant he is. Don't you also know some Young Master Zhang? Why don't you make a call?” Li Miaomiao still wouldn't let go of the key.

“Forget it, we don't need to bother, and we're not short on money. Let's just buy a bigger one.”

Qin Shou vaguely remembered that during a company dinner, Zhang Wei had mentioned his older brother, Zhang Yida, at the table. He knew that Zhang Yida probably had more say than Zhang Wei, so Qin Shou didn't bother Zhang Wei.

“Hehe, little beauty, if you like it, you don't need to beg this good-for-nothing. I can buy the house and give it to you!”

Bai Piaochang saw Li Miaomiao's persistent look and suddenly thought of something that would make him even happier. That was to snatch this delicate little beauty in front of Qin Shou.

“Tsk—! Who cares? A guy who prostitutes without paying.”

Li Miaomiao muttered softly, glancing at Bai Piaochang with disdain.

“Bai Piaochang, what the hell do you mean? I'm still here!”

Qiqi, the young girl nearby, immediately became unhappy at the words.

“Hehe, how about it, little beauty? Think about it?” Bai Piaochang completely ignored Qiqi.

Li Miaomiao was originally going to refuse outright and curse him back, but seeing Qiqi's angry expression, her clever little mind suddenly came up with a mischievous idea.

“Hehe, okay, can you really give it to me?”

Li Miaomiao deliberately put on a shy and cute girlish act, blinking her big eyes, instantly captivating Bai Piaochang, who was utterly lost and disoriented.

“Hahaha, of course! Look at you, such a delicate beauty, how frustrating it must be to be with this good-for-nothing! You can't even buy a house.”

Bai Piaochang thought to himself that indeed, there wasn't a woman in the world who didn't love money. As long as he offered to give her a house, she would immediately do whatever he wanted.

Qin Shou saw all this, and a smile played on his lips, knowing that Bai Piaochang was probably going to be taken advantage of this time.

“Bai Piaochang, you bastard, if you dare to flirt with this woman in front of me again, we'll break up right now.”

“Break up? You stinky woman, do you think I care about you? I've been tired of you for a long time, so get lost.”

Bai Piaochang's eyes were filled with Li Miaomiao at this moment, and there was no room for Qiqi, whose looks were a notch below Li Miaomiao's.

“You—!”

Qiqi trembled with anger, unable to utter a single word.

“What 'you'? You stinky woman, don't you just care about money? During this time with me, I haven't bought you any fewer designer bags and watches. I advise you to be sensible and part ways amicably. Get lost quickly. Otherwise, you know the methods of my Bai family.”

“Oh my, I'm so scared! You're so fierce to women, what if I follow you and you treat me like that in the future too!”

Seeing this, Li Miaomiao immediately said in a deliberately delicate voice.

Bai Piaochang's eyes were already gleaming at Li Miaomiao's appearance; he wished he could devour her right now. He immediately smiled and said, “Little beauty, how could that be? Your Brother Bai would cherish you too much!”

“Alright then, come with me to view the house.”

“Okay, okay, okay, we'll go view the house right now.”

Bai Piaochang's soul had flown away at this moment, nodding repeatedly, drool almost flowing out.

Li Miaomiao felt a wave of nausea at Bai Piaochang's appearance, but she still suppressed her discomfort, putting on a delicate and charming act, forcing out a captivating smile for Bai Piaochang.
