Chapter 444 - The First Song of Qin (17) (2/2)

“Impossible.” Qin Ge’s attitude was as hard as always.

Shi Sheng stepped forward only after she heard Qin Ge’s answer, blocking him with her small frame.

“Hey pretty lady, I’ve already kept Professor Qin. If you want to keep him too, please wait in line.”

The Professor Qin who’d suddenly been kept, “…” ‘Since when was I kept?’

Qin Xin treated Shi Sheng as unimportant because she’d already thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of everyone who’d been in contact with Qin Ge.

‘Qiao Chu, the daughter of a small-time business owner. I could bankrupt them with a single sentence.’

Qin Xin was very clear on how great a catch Qin Ge was, so he was bound to attract many people. ‘But none of them will be the one standing beside him in the end. Only I, Qin Xin, am worthy of him.’

Qin Xin didn’t lose her composure like she had the last time. Maintaining the elegant nobility of a lady, she spoke, “Little lady, do you know how much Qin Ge is worth? You wouldn’t be able to afford him even if you went bankrupt. Qin Ge isn’t someone you can have designs on.”

“I’d be willing to go bankrupt for him.” ‘How would I go bankrupt?’ “We’re all human, so why can’t I? Even interspecies romances are a thing, so why aren’t human ones?”

In terms of arrogance, Shi Sheng absolutely dared to proclaim herself number 1.

Qin Xin didn’t want to continue wasting words with Shi Sheng, so she smiled slightly, “Ms Qiao, right? Your family merely runs a small business. It can’t even enter our circle. Are you sure you want to snatch my person?”

‘When I(lz) get serious, your Qin Family would have to kneel down and lick my feet!’

Shi Sheng didn’t say this out loud, since Qin Ge was also surnamed Qin.

Shi Sheng harrumphed coldly. “Your circle isn’t worthy of me. I didn’t snatch him, since he wasn’t yours in the first place. Freedom in love, understand? You’re not his mum; why’re you sticking your nose into other people’s business?”

The Qin Family wasn’t super wealthy. With Shi Sheng’s money-making abilities, even the super wealthy would be dying to have a partnership with her.

“Ms Qiao.” Qin Xin’s expression finally changed. Her tone contained more threat in it now. “Even if you’re wilful, the Qiao Family can’t be as wilful, can it?”

Shi Sheng’s eyes curved. “Ms Qin, even if you’re wilful, the Qin Family can’t be as wilful, can it?”

Apart from the nouns, Shi Sheng returned the exact same sentence back to Qin Xin.

‘Would someone who has nothing to lose like me(bbb) have anything to fear from you? Even if the Qiao family business goes bust, I(bbb) can just start up another one. The one thing I(bbb) have the most is money.’

Because the two had spoken very quickly, Qin Ge only reacted now. He hurriedly pulled Shi Sheng behind him. “Qin Xin, this matter has nothing to do with her.”

Qin Ge’s actions seemed to have agitated Qin Xin, for a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. “Ms Qiao, you brought this upon yourself.”

“What do you wanna do, eh?” Shi Sheng pushed Qin Ge aside as she advanced menacingly towards Qin Xin. The smile on her face seemed slightly odd. Together with the lighting behind her, she appeared very scary.

Qin Xin felt her scalp crawl as she couldn’t help but retreat. “Ms Qiao, what are you doing?”

“Nothing.” Though Shi Sheng spoke lightly, she didn’t stop closing in on Qin Xin.

The latter lost her balance and ended up with her back against her own car. Shi Sheng smacked a hand against the car window, suavely trapping Qin Xin in a kabedon[1].

Shi Sheng reached out to tilt Qin Xin’s chin upwards before whistling in a very thug-like manner. “Ms Qin, looks like this is all the guts you have.”

Qin Xin felt her knees going soft. ‘Did she want to kill me just now?’

“Murder is illegal. Don’t worry, you’re so pretty, how could I possibly bear to kill you?”

‘So if murder wasn’t illegal, you’d want to kill me?!’

The first reaction of normal people who saw someone of higher social status than them was either fear and envy, or jealousy and inferiority. Yet the woman in front of her showed no fear or jealousy, only arrogance.

And… It was as if she’d eaten gunpowder, for she blew up at the slightest spark—in a chain explosion at that.

[1] The raws are “车咚” which means to corner against a car like a guy would trap a girl in a drama. My TLC suggested the Japanese version (which I’ve never seen before btw) so here it is. There’s variations based on what object the girl is cornered against, for example, a wall or a bed.
