Chapter 229: Chapter 227: The Battlefield of Women (1) Ji Baijian, don’t even think about it!

Translator: 549690339

Yin Qin was driving, with his Bluetooth on.

For a moment, he thought he had misheard. He said, “Who do you want me to help you invite out?” Song Zhizhi softly pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window in the room and walked toward the Sky Garden outside.

In the room, Ji Baijian was still asleep. She was worried about waking him up.

“Qin Jingxiang.”

“What do you need her for?” Yin Qin looked surprised. “Ji Baijian’s relationship with Qin Jingxiang is completely above board. I can guarantee that.”

“All your brain cells are pretty straightforward, aren’t they?”

“What?”

“Do you ever think about anything in a roundabout way?” Song Zhizhi argued.

Yin Qin was annoyed, “One should hold a respectful attitude when asking others for help.”

“Your tail is already curling up to the sky.”

“Then make the invitation yourself, buddy. I’m pretty busy today.”

“Yin Qin…”

“When dealing with outsiders, I am always Mr. Yin,” Yin Qin interjected.

Song Zhizhi took a breath and said, “Mr. Yin, could you please do me a favor and arrange a meeting with Qin Jingxiang? I have something important to discuss with her that involves business secrets and it is not convenient to disclose now. Thank you.”

Yin Qin burst into laughter.

He couldn’t let Ji Baijian be so humble. If he could make his wife behave in such a manner, it would be worth it.

Feeling great, he said, “Since you are so sincere, of course I wouldn’t turn you away!”

“Thank you then, I’ll send you the address. Please invite her out to dinner tonight for me, but don’t tell her that I’m the one asking her out.” Song Zhizhi was figuring out that with Qin Jingxiang’s intelligence, she could guess what the meeting would be about.

And most likely, Qin Jingxiang would refuse.

“You can count on me.” Yin Qin hung up the phone.

Song Zhizhi sent the address to Yin Qin and took a deep breath.

No matter what, she wanted to give it a shot.

She didn’t want to give up on anything without trying first.

Her biggest pursuit in life was to revitalize her family and live a peaceful life.

She turned around and went back to her bedroom.

Ji Baijian was awake.

He was leaning against the head of the bed.

Song Zhizhi looked at him.

The afternoon’s differences, once awakened from sleep, are never mentioned again.

That’s probably their way of getting along.

Song Zhizhi said to Ji Baijian, “I won’t be home for dinner tonight.” “Hmm?”

“I made plans with Qin Jingxiang.” Song Zhizhi said straightforwardly.

She didn’t think she needed to hide anything from Ji Baijian, even if he wasn’t honest with her.

“Okay.” Ji Baijian nodded.

He was very sharp, he could understand what she wanted to do in a second.

She said, “I’ll go change.”

Then she walked into the dressing room.

Song Zhizhi sighed quietly.

Let’s leave it at that for now.

She changed into a tight black dress, and her high heels made her look tall. She then carefully applied a nice makeup.

The woman in the mirror looked delicate and beautiful, radiating elegance no matter how you look at her.

Song Zhizhi smiled, she admitted, she is cunning. In front of a love rival, she could not be careless.

She picked out a chain bag and left the house.

At the moment, Ji Baijian was already sitting in his wheelchair.

Song Zhizhi always felt that Ji Baijian was very independent, not needing much help from others.

“I’m leaving.”

She left those words behind. “Madam,” Ji Baijian said, “Be careful on the road.”

Song Zhizhi’s footsteps paused.

His calling her “Madam” always stirred emotions in her heart.

She turned around, suddenly walked towards Ji Baijian, and bent down.

With a soft “muah,” she kissed his cheek.

Ji Baijian stared straight at her.

So much so that her face was blushing.

“That’s a normal behavior between husband and wife. ” Song Zhizhi explained.

“I know.” Ji Baijian laughed, “I really like it.”

Song Zhizhi strode away.

She planned that should the day come she suddenly dropped dead, it would most likely be due to succumbing to a beautiful temptation.

Taking a deep breath to compose herself instantly, she dialed Luo Xiaolang’s number while descending the stairs, “Xiaolang, get down now. I have to step out for a bit.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up, she thought for a moment and dialed another number.

The other end picked up, “What’s it Zhizhi? What did you need to talk to me about?”

“I won’t be home tonight, could you get the servants to take his dinner upstairs when they bring it over? He shouldn’t be moving around too much on his own.” “Alright, alright,” Zhang Qingmei quickly agreed.

“Thank you, Auntie.”

“We’re family, it’s no trouble, no trouble.” “Oh, by the way, your soup is delicious. We drank it all during lunch.”

“If you like it, I can make it for you every day.”

“Thank you Auntie.” Song Zhizhi suddenly felt very warm.

“It’s no trouble. Once Baijian is feeling better, come back more often,” Zhang Qingmei warmly responded.

“Alright,” Song Zhizhi arrived at the garage, “Auntie, I have to go, I’m about to get in the car.”

“Sure.”

Song Zhizhi hung up the phone.

She smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Having a stepmother like this is really nice for Ji Baijian.

Turning her gaze, she watched as Luo Xiaolang emerged from the other elevator.

The two boarded the car together.

Song Zhizhi shared the location.

After Luo Xiaolang set up the navigation, he started driving towards the destination.

On the way, Yin Qin called Song Zhizhi to inform that everything was sorted.

The car reached the destination, a top-class French restaurant in Jin City, with a very elegant setting.

Song Zhizhi followed the waiter into a private room.

In the private room, Yin Qin was leisurely ordering food.

Song Zhizhi looked at him, “I didn’t say you were invited.”

Yin Qin rolled his eyes, “Will treating me for a meal bankrupt you?”

Song Zhizhi was not pleased.

“Relax, I can’t eat much.” Yin Qin finished his order and addressed the waiter, “Get me a bottle of Lafite from ’82.’

Song Zhizhi glared at Yin Qin.

Yin Qin chuckled confidently, “Don’t worry, your hubby is well off.”

“That’s my husband’s money.” Not yours.

Yin Qin didn’t care.

He appeared very relaxed.

Song Zhizhi at this moment also sat down by the dining table. Xiaolang, not eating anything here, sat on a nearby sofa playing with his phone.

After a while.

The room door was opened again.

Qin Jingxiang walked in with a beaming smile. Her expression changed slightly upon seeing Song Zhizhi, but was soon replaced by a blooming smile, “I thought Brother Yin Qin has invited me out of a sudden whim, never expected the wine isn’t the only motive!”

Yin Qin gave a dry laugh, “Just a meal, didn’t even say I was the only one.”

“Exactly, it’s just a meal. Some people even bring their bodyguards,” Qin Jingxiang said casually as if it was a joke.

The irony wasn’t lost on those in the know.

Song Zhizhi pursed her lips without adding to the conversation, and plainly said, “I asked Yin Qin to invite you.”

“I figured as much, ” Qin Jingxiang seated herself comfortably.

The ambiance at the table suddenly turned quiet.

Yin Qin was engrossed in his phone.

Song Zhizhi didn’t know how to start the conversation with Qin Jingxiang either. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Qin Jingxiang certainly wasn’t going to initiate.

The awkward silence was finally broken thanks to the food being served.

Everyone casually ate their meals.

Yin Qin was smart enough and was self-aware. Although he didn’t know why Song Zhizhi suddenly invited Qin Jingxiang, he knew his presence might make their conversation cumbersome. So, he ate quickly. After he was done, Yin Qin mentioned, “I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

Qin Jingxiang flashed a smile.

“Can I borrow your bodyguard? I’ve had some wine,” said Yin Qin.

Song Zhizhi glanced at Luo Xiaolang and said, “Xiaolang, could you help me send off Yin Qin?”

“Alright.” Luo Xiaolang stood up.

Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang left.

Qin Jingxiang watched their figures recede, suddenly smiling.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

Qin Jingxiang shifted her gaze to Song Zhizhi, “You are even better at winning people’s hearts than I thought.”

“What do you mean, Miss Qin?”

“Isn’t Yin Qin always thinking about you?” Qin Jingxiang spoke candidly, setting down the knife and fork, and elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth, “I have also spent some time with Yin Qin. He’s not one to consider others, but tonight, he was oddly considerate of you.”

Song Zhizhi’s eyes flickered.

“Yin Qin understands my character well. I usually dislike socializing and only acknowledge those I approve of. I also don’t often give people face. Therefore, him having dinner with me tonight is his way of preventing me from leaving upon seeing you. In fact, that would indeed be the case. If Yin Qin wasn’t here, I would have already left. More so, because I particularly dislike your habit of bringing bodyguards, Yin Qin even intentionally took yours away.” Qin Jingxiang picked up the red wine at hand and sipped lightly, “Now I’m even more curious, what exceptional quality do you have that could bewitch Ji Baijian and win over Yin Qin?”

Till Qin Jingxiang said it, Song Zhizhi didn’t realize that all of Yin Qin’s actions tonight were for her.

Her heart felt inexplicably warm.

As she thought, losing Yin Qin would cause Ji Baixin to regret.

She looked at Qin Jingxiang, “If I said it’S my personal charm, would you think I’m conceited?”

“No, because you may not know yourself what attracted Ji Baijian.” replied Qin Jingxiang directly.

Song Zhizhi nodded.

She was indeed pinpointed by Qin Jingxiang.

She also didn’t know what part of her Ji Baijian was attracted to, or what he even liked about her.

According to Yin Qin’s description of Ji Baijian, he’s immune to women.

She pursed her lips, her expression serious, “The reason I wanted to meet Miss Qin today is not to discuss Ji Baijian.”

Song Zhizhi didn’t want to waste time.

“Go ahead.” Qin Jingxiang seemed to lack patience.

“SWT, it’s you, right?” Song Zhizhi opened her phone, placing the G-value index rankings before Qin Jingxiang.

Qin Jingxiang glanced over, her eyebrows slightly furrowing. “Did Ji Baijian tell you?”

“Yes,” Song Zhizhi admitted.

“Indeed, SWT is me,” Qin Jingxiang leisurely sipped her red wine, confirming the answer. Then she asked her, “So, what do you want me to do?”

“You should have guessed.” Song Zhizhi expressed with certainty.

Qin Jingxiang’s face was seemingly innocent, creating an impression of a small, naive woman who would seem cute and harmless with just a touch of pretence.

In truth, this woman’s thoughts were a hundred times more mature than her age and appearance. Qin Jingxiang gave a corner-smile, “You might as well lay it out clearly.”

“S Country has a security loophole requiring international help, asking other countries for technical support. The condition is to unilaterally reduce tariffs, allowing other countries’ goods to more profitably enter S Country. Our country’s trade economy is currently stagnant in S Country, so this loophole is key for our country.”

“How does this relate to me?” Qin Jingxiang asked.

‘You’re a part of our country.”

“I really lack the sentiment to serve my motherland. Sorry, Miss Song.” Qin Jingxiang flatly declined,

“I might have disappointed you.”

“Miss Qin.” Song Zhizhi spoke, “Name your conditions.”

“So, you plan to negotiate terms with me?” Qin Jingxiang smiled beautifully.

“Ji Baijian.” Qin Jingxiang articulated each word.

Song Zhizhi furrowed her eyebrows.

Draining her red wine, Qin Jingxiang stated “Apart from him, nothing else will do!”

With that, she got up, intending to leave.

Seemingly, this was not open for negotiation.

“Qin Jingxiang.” Song Zhizhi called her name.

So this woman would sell out her own husband for her own interests?!

Song Zhizhi said, “Don’t even think about it.”

Qin Jingxiang’s face turned sullen.

Song Zhizhi also stood up from the dining table, maintaining a robust presence, “Today, I simply wanted to confirm your identity, and incidentally invite you.”

“Since it’s merely incidental, there’s indeed nothing substantial to discuss.” Qin Jingxiang was indifferent.

Indifferently, she just walked away.

Song Zhizhi watched Qin Jingxiang’s retreating figure.

It seemed, she was doomed to be at war with this woman.

There was no room for negotiation.

Through the neon-lit streets of Jin City at night.

Yin Qin left with Luo Xiaolang.

Yin Qin didn’t disclose his address.

Luo Xiaolang couldn’t find him.

She was driving, continually turning, again and again.

She was turned to the point of exasperation, “Where on earth is your home?”

Yin Qin sat in the passenger seat, his legs crossed, “I didn’t ask you to drive me home, just roam around.

He was bored, he didn’t want to go back.

But he had no idea where to go, so he just wanted to roam randomly. Luo Xiaolang abruptly hit the brakes, bringing the car to a standstill.

For a moment, Yin Qin nearly went flying, “Are you crazy?

Luo Xiaolang unbuckled her seat belt, ready to leave.

Yin Qin suddenly, quick as lightning, grabbed Luo Xiaolang’s cellphone from the dashboard.

His face broke into a victorious grin, “Luo Xiaolang, you are hopeless without a navigator. Without me, how will you ever find your way home? I bet you wouldn’t find your way back home even if you roamed till tomorrow morning.”

Luo Xiaolang’s face darkened.

She shot Yin Qin a venomous look, “Give it back!”

Yin Qin, keen to boast, naturally wouldn’t give it back!

Luo Xiaolang glared at his hand.

The next moment

“Ouch!”

A sudden pain shot through Yin Qints hand.

Luo Xiaolang’s forceful punch was just the tip of the iceberg.

“Luo Xiaolang, you manly woman, don’t you know that no man would ever want you if you continue like this!” Yin Qin roared.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t care about Yin Qin’s hollow threats.

She bent down to take the cellphone that had slid under Yin Qin’S seat.

Yin Qin suddenly pinned her back down, immobilizing her.

Luo Xiaolang managed to grab the phone and tried to move.

Yin Qin summoned all his strength.

Luo Xiaolang tried to move again.

Yin Qin was adamant about not letting go.

He bloody well didn’t believe that he couldn’t subdue this damn wolf!

A smug expression crossed his face.

He was looking forward to seeing Luo Xiaolang beg for mercy…

But in the next moment

A sudden force pushed against him and Luo Xiaolang broke free, knocking him against the car window.

If it wasn’t for the car’s sturdy build…

Dammit.

Wasn’t Luo Xiaolang•s strength a bit too astonishing?

Anyone who messed with her would surely fear for their life.

He could only watch Luo Xiaolang, stunned.

Watching her, showing no signs of exertion, as though she hadn’t just used a massive amount of strength.

Yin Qin didn’t dare make a sound as he watched Luo Xiaolang exit the car.

He even took a deep breath.

It’S better to avoid annoying this woman in the future.

AS ne mulled It over, reannng ne nad sobered up considerably and was about to drive mmselt, Luo Xiaolang suddenly came back to the car.

Yin Qin watched her, dumbstruck.

“The cell phone is dead.” Luo Xiaolang said.

Yin Qin felt like laughing, but remembering who Luo Xiaolang was, he didn’t dare to say anything out of line.

Luo Xiaolang sat in the driver’s seat, “Which way?”

The previously beaten Yin Qin, now docile as a lamb, started guiding the way.

Luo Xiaolang dropped Yin Qin off at his villa. By then, the cell phone that had been charging in the car had enough battery to be used.

Luo Xiaolang was about to drive away.

“Luo Xiaolang,” Yin Qin said, “Remember to be careful.”

Luo Xiaolang didn’t reply.

She drove away at a considerable speed.

Yin Qin didn’t mind and pulled a face.

The moment Luo Xiaolang drove away, she looked at Yin Qin, who was still standing in the doorway, through her rearview mirror. There was a strange, barely noticeable fluctuation in her heart.

Only…

She couldn’t see what was bad about Yin Qin or Ji Baijian, so why did her master make her be wary of them.

She still hadn’t placed the micro-monitoring device on Yin Qin.

She felt like it wasn’t needed..
