Chapter 72 You'll Get Beaten Up Again Next Time
Qiao Xing didn't understand why she still wanted to be with that awful man after Jiang Wang had treated her so badly.
Just because he's rich?
Qiao Xing looked at Xiao Bai's aloof appearance and didn't think he was the kind of person who coveted vanity, but these things... are hard to say.
Qiao Xing gritted her teeth, looking troubled: "I also went to apologize to him, I might..."
Xiao Bai lowered his head and mopped the floor again, seemingly ignoring Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing became anxious when she saw her like this. She had no other way to contact Jiang Wang and could only rely on Xiao Bai.
But this guy was clearly clinging to her as a last resort, determined to try anything to reconcile.
If we can't get in touch with Jiang Wang, wouldn't things get even worse if he went to cause trouble for Qin Ce?
After all, Qin Ce only got into trouble with Jiang Wang because he wanted to pick her up.
After a fierce internal struggle, Qiao Xing finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed."
Bai Yi's eyelids twitched, and she looked at Qiao Xing in surprise, "Really?"
"I can only promise to try and persuade him, after all, I... I don't even know if I can resolve the issue of my husband hitting someone."
"I know, then give it a try." Bai Yi took out his phone and searched for Jiang Wang's number.
In fact, she knew better than anyone else that anyone else would have a better chance of persuading her than Qiao Xing.
But she had no other choice...
What if, just the slightest bit of hope?
Bai Yi forwarded the phone number to Qiao Xing and said, "Whether it works out or not, thank you in advance."
Qiao Xing was also feeling very uneasy, so he could only force a smile.
She felt this was too risky.
After taking the phone, Qiao Xing waited until lunchtime and then hid in the restroom to call Jiang Wang.
With each ring of the system's bell, her heart skipped a beat.
She was organizing her thoughts in her mind, thinking about what to say, but after the phone rang for a few seconds... she hung up.
Jiang Wang hung up on her.
Jiang Wang drank a bit too much last night and slept at Yang Han's house. He's sound asleep right now and has no time to answer the phone.
But Qiao Xing was not giving up and attacked again.
Jiang Wang's temper flared instantly. He grabbed the phone, held it to his ear, and cursed, "Are you fucking crazy? You keep calling and calling, aren't you annoyed? If you call again, I'll kill you!"
He didn't know who was calling, but that's just his temper, especially his morning grumpiness; he'd curse even if it were the King of Heaven himself.
Qiao Xing was startled by his cursing, and she almost dropped her phone.
Holding her phone, she took a deep breath before saying, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, my name is Qiao Xing. I'm a family member of the person who hit you last night."
"I don't care what you fucking are..." Jiang Wang said, but his chest started to ache again. He rubbed his chest where Qin Ce had kicked him and asked, "Who did you say you are?"
Qiao Xing repeated what he had just said, "My name is Qiao Xing."
"What's your relationship to Qin Ce? His mother?" Jiang Wang thought it didn't sound like it; Qin Ce's mother's voice shouldn't be this young.
"..." Qiao Xing didn't know if he was cursing her, but his tone seemed much better than before.
Hearing this while passing through the living room, Yang Han rushed over, sat down next to Jiang Wang, and strained his ears to listen to the voice on the phone.
“I am not his mother, I am…his wife.”
"?" Jiang Wang turned to look at Yang Han. "What are you doing?"
The next question was directed at Yang Han, who gestured for him to be quiet.
But Qiao Xing thought she was asking him, so he explained, "I just want to apologize to you on his behalf. You can name your conditions, as long as I can accept them."
Jiang Wang wasn't sure if he was just confused from sleeping and experiencing auditory hallucinations, or if he hadn't woken up at all and was dreaming.
Qin Ce came to beat him up last night, so why is his wife apologizing to him?
Are you sick in the head?
Before he could even finish speaking, Yang Han snatched his phone and hung up on him.
"Why did you hang up on me?" Jiang Wang glared at him, displeased.
Yang Han glanced at him helplessly, "Didn't you notice something was off?"
"What's wrong?"
Yang Han glared at him with a look of utter disappointment. "Qin Ce's wife, doesn't she know his identity? Didn't she recognize him?"
"What the heck?"
Yang Han instinctively raised his hand to hit him, but Jiang Wang reacted quickly and grabbed his arm. "Talk to me properly. Don't hit me all the time. Don't I have any dignity?"
Yang Han shook him off, "You really are my brother? Who did you get your IQ from?"
"Speak properly! If you insult my character again, I'll tell my uncle!"
"..."
Yang Han didn't want to argue with an idiot, so he patiently explained the whole story to Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang listened for a while before nodding as if he understood, "Oh, Qin Ce is playing role-playing games. I like it too, but I usually play deliverymen, doctors, plumbers..."
"..."
Yang Han was completely convinced.
Just then, Qiao Xing called again.
Jiang Wang glanced at Yang Han, "Should I answer or not?"
"Catch it, don't give it away, or you'll get beaten up again next time."
Jiang Wang: "..."
My chest is starting to hurt again.
He rubbed his chest and answered the phone, "Express delivery... oops, Qiao Xing, right?"
"Yes, I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Oh, okay."
Now it was Qiao Xing's turn to be stunned. She looked at her phone and realized she hadn't made a mistake.
What's going on with this change in attitude?
They were just cursing at me, and now they're replying with such a bland two words?
"What...do you mean by this? Do you forgive him?"
"Okay, I forgive him. Don't hit him again!"
Qiao Xing was filled with questions. What happened in the two minutes after the phone call ended?
She tentatively asked, "Do you have any other conditions?"
"What are the conditions?"
"That... is naturally up to you."
"Then sing a song for me." Jiang Wang picked his nose.
Qiao Xing repeatedly tried to guess the meaning of his words in her mind. Was it an implication? Did he want her to sing with him?
Having worked in administration before, she was used to all sorts of hints, so it's no wonder she overthinks things.
"Just singing?" she asked uncertainly.
"You can dance if you want."
"..."
Yang Han almost couldn't resist beating him up again. This kid may be stupid, but he's incredibly bold. She wondered who raised him to be like that.
Qiao Xing coughed and said somewhat awkwardly, "I can't dance, but I can sing a little. Could you please suggest a place?"
"Huh?" Jiang Wang's mind went blank for a moment. He had his old habit of teasing her, and she actually asked him to choose the place.
"You decide on the location, I... I'll just sing."
Jiang Wang glanced at his cousin beside him out of the corner of his eye, and he suddenly couldn't hold back anymore. What the hell was he going to do?
Did he want Qin Ce's wife to sing with him?
I'm afraid that kick I gave him last night will land on his head today.
Qiao Xing let out a breath and, as if taking a gamble, said, "Once you've booked the place, just give me a call. I won't bother you any longer."
"Hey me... Holy crap!"
