Chapter 80 She is my wife!
Xia Yue quickly dodged, avoiding Qiu Zi's attack.
Qiu Zi lost her balance and crashed into the glass counter!
"Bang!"
The sturdy leather bag smashed the glass, scattering the jade items from the display case all over the floor.
The item broke again.
"ah!"
When Qiu Zi saw how many things she had smashed, she turned pale with fright and refused to face it.
Fearing that Qiu Zi would run away, the people in the jade shop quickly had their security guards surround her.
"These items are worth tens of millions, don't even think about running away!" the jade shop manager said.
Qiu Zi, of course, did not want to pay compensation. She shouted, "It's all Xia Yue's fault! She provoked me on purpose! She's also at fault!"
Xia Yue looked at Qiu Zi, who was acting like a clown, and had no intention of wasting words with her.
"Xiangxiang, Brother Shen, let's go." Xia Yue called to the people around her.
The Shen siblings ignored Qiu Zi, who was still calling out, and left with Xia Yue.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid it any longer, Qiu Zi had no choice but to seek Qin Fei's help again.
"Young Master Qin, I fell into your trap while trying to avenge you. Please, you must save me!"
"Get lost!" Qin Fei roared back with utter disgust.
He's currently preoccupied with his own compensation, so of course he doesn't want to help Qiu Zi.
The couple, who were just moments ago so affectionate, instantly turned into a dog-eat-dog fight, their mouths splattered with fur.
After leaving the jade shop, Xia Yue and the others found a high-end restaurant to sit down and chat.
"Young Master Shang, thank you so much for stepping in this time. Otherwise, the jade shop wouldn't have let us leave so easily. Thank you." Xia Yue was a smart woman and knew that Shang Zexi was definitely credited for her successful escape.
Shang Zexi chuckled, "I was just helping out, Miss Xia, you're too kind."
"Yueyue, you don't need to be polite to this guy. He's just trying to curry favor with you; he doesn't have any good intentions." Shen Xiangxiang was very wary of Shang Zexi.
Shang Zexi looked at Shen Xiangxiang and said helplessly, "Miss Shen, I just want to pretend to be in a marriage alliance with you. I won't really do anything to you. Why are you so wary of me and spreading rumors about me everywhere?"
"Hmph, I've already said it, what are you going to do about it?" Shen Xiangxiang retorted without any politeness.
Shang Zexi was completely speechless and eventually gave up.
Seeing this, Xia Yue could only step in to appease them, "Alright, we're all friends, stop arguing. Thank you all for coming today, come on, let me toast you!"
Xia Yue raised her glass and drank the whole thing herself.
Fearing that Xia Yue might drink too quickly and harm her health, Shen Qingyun quickly advised, "Yueyue, we are all friends, you don't need to be so formal."
"Oh, I'm just happy. I was lucky today; the jade shop didn't give me any trouble. I wanted to have another drink, but it's okay!" Xia Yue poured herself another glass of wine.
Shen Xiangxiang said with equal relief, "Yes, yes, I was even planning to take out all my savings to compensate them today, but the jade shop didn't cause us any trouble. Instead, they went after Qin Fei. They're not afraid of offending the Qin family at all. We're so lucky!"
Knowing the truth of everything, Shang Zexi twitched the corner of his mouth at this moment and sighed inwardly.
All of this was thanks to his good brother Qin Yeting. How could he not be lucky?
It's a pity that his good brother, who did such a great thing, couldn't leave his name.
So, Shang Zexi said quietly, "Yes, we have to thank the owner of the jade shop. He's a reasonable and generous man!"
“Yes, I’ll have to thank him in person someday when I have the chance,” Xia Yue replied with a smile.
Then, she turned to look at Shen Qingyun.
"Brother Shen, I also want to thank you today. In a way, I've dragged you into this mess. Here, let me toast you with this glass!" Xia Yue toasted Shen Qingyun again.
Shen Qingyun said with some guilt, "Yueyue, I already feel very guilty for not being able to help you today. I should be the one toasting you with this glass of wine. I didn't protect you properly."
After Shen Qingyun finished speaking, he downed the wine in one gulp.
He thought he was very capable, but at the crucial moment, he couldn't help at all.
He had originally planned to confess his feelings to Xia Yue recently.
It now seems that he is not capable enough to protect the woman he loves, so he can only give up for the time being.
Each person, lost in their own thoughts, drank their sorrows away.
In the end, everyone was a little drunk.
By the time we finished drinking, it was already dark.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Shen Qingyun was worried about Xia Yue going back alone.
He spoke firmly, "Yueyue, I've called the driver over. Let's take you home first."
"No need, you should take Xiangxiang home first. She drank more than me and needs to rest." Xia Yue politely declined.
She knew that when she was drunk, she was prone to talking nonsense and even doing things she would never normally do.
If I lose face in front of Shen Qingyun, how can we remain friends?
"I can take a taxi myself, it's fine!" Xia Yue tried to appear calm, but her face was already flushed red.
She simply flagged down a car on the roadside.
A black Porsche pulled up in front of Xia Yue.
Xia Yue laughed, "This car is quite impressive, perfect for taking me home!"
Shen Qingyun quickly pulled Xia Yue back, "This is a private car, not a taxi. Are you really drunk? Let me take you home."
However, the moment Shen Qingyun's hand touched Xia Yue's waist, Xia Yue was snatched away!
Qin Yeting got out of the Porsche, came to Xia Yue's side, and pulled her into his arms without saying a word!
"No need for Young Master Shen to trouble himself. I will come and take my wife home myself," Qin Yeting said domineeringly, asserting his ownership.
