Chapter 400 - Qin Sheng Cant Put up with It (1/2)

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.”
