Chapter 74: Jiang Miaomiao and Xia Renyao engage in a fight. ...
That evening, Jiang Miaomiao arranged for Jiang Si and the others to stay at a luxury hotel near the mall.
But no sooner had everyone left the lobby and entered the guest room elevator than someone informed Xia Renyao. It was on this very first night that Xia Renyao was able to casually knock on Jiang Si's hotel room door.
As soon as the door opened, he naturally spread his arms, wanting to hug her.
Unfortunately, he was dreaming; it was Jiang Zhengye who opened the door.
Jiang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow: "The paparazzi in Hong Kong are really useful at times like this."
Jiang Si laughed and replied, "Otherwise, why would I deliberately let them follow my brother?" She was too lazy to do anything unnecessary.
***
The next day, the news from Hong Kong broke out in a flurry, even attracting attention in Macau, where it was also being publicized:
"Is it moral depravity or just a strange quirk? Young Master Xia's secret rendezvous in the middle of the night turned out to be with him!"
"A modern version of love that transcends gender, age, and wealth has arrived."
"Who would have thought that it would be another old prodigal son who would bring the prodigal son back to the right path?"
"The Yangtze River's waves keep coming one after another, with no limit to how high the waves can go."
...
Breakfast time.
Jiang Si woke up in a guest room at Jiang Miaomiao's house.
She eventually hid alone in Jiang Miaomiao's house, and even if Xia Renyao found her trail and wanted to get in, it would take him half a day.
Jiang Miaomiao was already eating soy milk and fried dough sticks at the table, next to a pile of newspapers from Hong Kong, Macau, and other places. The headline of each newspaper was a report about Xia Renyao and Jiang Zhengye seemingly coming out as gay across age groups.
The reader finds it strange and amusing.
But for these two individuals who loved to dalliances with countless women, it was a great disgrace.
They vaguely realized they had been set up.
After washing up, Jiang Si sat down and drank the hot soy milk, but after one sip, she complained, "Is this soy milk made from powder? It tastes awful."
Jiang Miaomiao said coldly, "Oh, then you can make the soy milk yourself tomorrow morning."
“Then I’d rather starve to death.” Jiang Si was being very dramatic.
Ring ring.
A video call rang at the front door.
Jiang Miaomiao went to press the call button. It was a video call from the property management at the gate of the community. In addition to the security guard at the gate, there was a handsome man dressed as a refined scoundrel: "Ms. Jiang, this Mr. Xia claims to be your visitor."
They arrived faster than I expected!
Jiang Si, sitting at the dinner table, clicked her tongue and shook her head: "My dear niece, you promised me I could have at least half a day of peace and quiet at your house!"
Jiang Miaomiao immediately replied, "I don't know him," and hung up the video call.
But a while later, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Miaomiao peeked through the peephole and, as expected, saw Xia Renyao.
Jiang Si said, "The security guards in your community are no good."
Jiang Miaomiao said, "It's not that the community security guards are incompetent, it's that Xia Renyao is too crazy."
...If the two security guards at the gatehouse could hear her words, they would be incredibly grateful. They were pinned against the wall by Xia Renyao's henchmen, staring angrily and aggrievedly at the cell phone on the table, seemingly within reach yet untouchable.
Waaah, they can't call the police.
Xia Renyao, who prided himself on being courteous before resorting to force, knocked on the door a few times.
If he didn't open it, he would slightly twist his right foot and kick the door open without hesitation.
Two women stood behind the peephole, taking turns observing.
Jiang Si asked, "Is your door durable enough to withstand being kicked?"
Jiang Miaomiao leaned against the door, knocked, and listened to the deep, resolute sound in her voice: "I was too lazy to renovate this house, but I focused on replacing this front door. The brand company that made the custom doors and windows swore on their lives that if anyone kicked this door open, they would take their head off and let me kick it like a ball."
Given the boss's confidence, not buying it would make me a traitor to China.
"Okay then." Jiang Si turned around and went back to the dining table, continuing to leisurely munch on her fried dough sticks.
He thought to himself: I don't believe the people inside won't come out.
One hour, two hours, three hours passed... and no one actually came out of that door.
Xia Renyao tolerated it again, not believing they wouldn't go out for lunch.
Jiang Miaomiao took Jiang Si home last night, and on the way, they bought various snacks and semi-cooked products. With food at home and internet access on their phones and computers, they could stay indoors for seven days and seven nights even if a zombie apocalypse occurred.
So they quietly and happily worked on their computers until 3 p.m., until all the computers went offline.
Xia Renyao, outside, had already instructed his underlings to cut the internet cable inside the house, and only then did he patiently continue waiting. But after waiting for another half hour, the door remained firmly shut.
"Damn it, he's really something!" Xia Renyao cursed, then suddenly opened his phone and found a new mobile hotspot nearby called "Watchdog Outside".
hehe.
It's true what they say, a man of great wisdom can make a foolish mistake; Xia Renyao completely forgot about his phone's built-in hotspot function.
He was both angry and amused.
He snapped his fingers, and someone immediately ran over. He ordered, "Bring me another signal-blocking device," and the cell phone hotspot inside was completely cut off.
However, after all the trouble, Jiang Miaomiao has kept her promise: "Jiang Si, I promised to give you at least half a day of peace and quiet, but it's been more than 12 hours."
Jiang Si made a heart shape with her hands, giving a thumbs up.
Just then, the computer file finished downloading, so I closed the screen and slowly got up: "Well, it's time for me to go out and run some errands. But there's still a thief blocking the way outside, so please see me downstairs to catch my ride, niece."
Jiang Si took it for granted that she would order her around.
Jiang Miaomiao refused even more naturally: "I can't stop Xia Renyao all by myself."
"How can it be one? With me included, it's two against one."
Jiang Miaomiao rolled her eyes: "I don't need cheerleaders."
Feeling underestimated, Jiang Si immediately pulled two small black gadgets from her laptop bag, sparking and crackling as they flew. "In this day and age, who still fights bare-handed?"
Finally, the door was opened.
Xia Renyao, who was casually crossing his legs, looked up and met the gaze of Jiang Si, who had a beautiful face but a cold smile.
This was the first time the two had looked at each other in a long time.
In a short moment, Xia Renyao's throat inexplicably went dry.
Standing behind Jiang Si, Jiang Miaomiao pointed to the shoe prints on the door and shouted, "Mr. Xia, trespassing on private property or damaging other people's property is illegal."
Xia Renyao raised his hand and slowly adjusted the thin black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Believe it or not, if you come out any later, I'll have someone tear this door down."
Jiang Miaomiao nodded. How could she not believe someone who was so arrogant?
Xia Renyao rested his chin on his hand and looked back at Jiang Si: "You've been making a scene for so long, shouldn't you be calm now?"
"Making a scene?" Jiang Si was somewhat taken aback, her expression showing undisguised surprise. "Mr. Xia, the way you're saying this makes it sound like I have some shady business with you! If you're looking for my niece, then I'll be generous and make room for you. But if you're looking for me, there's nothing to talk about."
"Jiang Si, you know I have a bad temper, so don't say anything to provoke me." Xia Renyao stared at her with a gloomy face. "Back then, I was indeed deceived, and you suffered. I want to make it up to you, but you must know when to stop!" He was truly wishful thinking and self-righteous.
Jiang Si scoffed: "You're the one who should stop now, get lost!"
She turned and walked toward the elevator.
"Jiang Si!" Xia Renyao's first call failed to stop her. He quickly stood up and grabbed her hand, trying to pull her towards him. But just as he touched Jiang Si's arm, a foot suddenly stretched out and kicked his hand away.
Xia Renyao squinted at Jiang Miaomiao, who was slowly retracting her right leg. "I don't want to hit a woman."
Jiang Miaomiao retorted, "Then you shouldn't lay a hand on women."
Xia Renyao recalled her nimble movements just now and suddenly asked, "Have you practiced this before?"
"uh-huh."
Then he wouldn't need to be afraid.
Xia Renyao loosened his collar and slowly stood up.
Then he slowly rolled up the two white sleeves of his shirt.
His movements were so elegant and graceful that those unaware of the situation would assume he was about to write or paint.
Since they had decided to fight, Jiang Miaomiao, disregarding all martial ethics, launched another sneak attack, kicking out with her right knee with incredible speed!
Caught off guard, Xia Renyao could only block with his arm. But her kick was strong enough that even his right arm couldn't withstand the force, and he staggered back a step.
He paused for a moment, then kicked out as well, using the momentum to spin around and strike her directly in the ribs. His speed was definitely faster and his strength was much greater.
Jiang Miaomiao crossed her arms and had to lean her back against the wall to barely block it. Gender difference definitely matters; the strength disparity between men and women is indeed vast!
The corridor, which was originally quite spacious, now felt a bit cramped.
Various items were kicked and sent flying with a crackling sound.
After enduring the pain of watching her eldest niece take two punches, Jiang Si finally seized the opportunity to throw the anti-wolf stun gun at Xia Renyao's bare arm.
A swift electric current struck his forehead, causing Xia Renyao to instinctively swing his arm, which Jiang Miaomiao seized the opportunity to throw him over her shoulder, sending him sprawling on his back.
Wow!
Jiang Miaomiao, who had just thrown the person, was also shocked by the residual electricity on Xia Renyao's clothes.
She questioned Jiang Si, "Is this thing leaking electricity? Is it even legal?"
“Pinduoduo’s 10 billion yuan subsidy, 9.9 yuan with free shipping.” Jiang Si replied, and seeing Xia Renyao lying on his back and trying to get up, she quickly grabbed Jiang Miaomiao and ran towards the elevator.
Jiang Miaomiao was still complaining, "Why didn't you throw it away sooner? I wouldn't have had to take those two punches."
"How am I supposed to aim at a target that's moving around so much? I'd be lucky if I could even hit it."
...
Jiang Miaomiao finally managed to stuff Jiang Si into Qin Shuang's car, which had come to pick her up.
"Hey, don't take advantage of the fact that there are more of you than me!" Jiang Miaomiao warned them. "I'm a real single, vulnerable woman now. If you dare to bully me, I'll have the nerve to tell everyone that you're shameless."
"You're crazy." Xia Renyao ignored her and left to chase after Jiang Si's car.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't understand: a broken mirror can't be mended, and he should know that continuing to pester Jiang Si would only lead to nothing. Yet he persisted, acting like a madman. Fortunately, Jiang Si was even more insane than before!
...
Hospital.
He looked up in alarm, and seeing his girlfriend enter with all four limbs intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. But in an instant, his handsome face tightened again, his almond-shaped eyes widening: "Who did you hurt this time?"
"This time I'm the one who got hurt." Jiang Miaomiao stretched out her two fair arms, revealing large bruises on each arm.
Startled, Yan Yousui circled around the table and examined her arm briefly. Confirming that it was just a superficial bruise and no bone damage, she immediately bent down and bumped her forehead against hers as punishment: "You scared me to death!"
Jiang Miaomiao teased, "So you're such a scaredy-cat? Then I'll go watch a horror movie with you this weekend to toughen you up."
Yan Yousui scoffed, lightly bumping her forehead against his again. "You're injured and still laughing? Who bullied you? I'll stand up for you!"
"You can't even beat me, how can you stand up for me?"
"I'll outsmart them," Yan Yousui said softly, her voice gentle and soft with a silky tremor that seemed to melt at the ear.
Since it was almost time to leave work anyway, he pulled Jiang Miaomiao down to sit and apply the medicated wine.
"Looking at this injury..." he frowned, biting his lip, "Who kicked me?"
"Jiang Si's ex, came to kick the door early in the morning." Jiang Miaomiao was able to endure the pain without uttering a sound.
Yan Yousui's almond-shaped eyes flashed with a cold light: "Then why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you call me? Even if I couldn't win, I could still guard the door for you! Humph! Do you still consider me your boyfriend? I don't think I exist in your heart at all!"
Jiang Miaomiao: "..."
It seems she just suddenly had the urge to be affectionate with her boyfriend.
How did it end up with Yan Yousui using this opportunity to file a complaint?
"I was wrong." Indeed, she's not suited to being sentimental; she should just be as tough as steel.
Yan Yousui mistakenly thought that she had realized her mistake and corrected it, and said with satisfaction, "That's good." Then, she packed her things and left with her.
In the hospital corridor, I ran into Lu Han, who was also off work. Beside Lu Han was Shan Zuoxi, who was following closely behind. Thanks to Xie Ziqi's rivalry over godmother, Lu Han and Jiang Miaomiao had a love-hate relationship.
Every time Xie Ziqi called Jiang Miaomiao "godmother" even once more, Lu Han harbored more resentment towards her: "So you came to supervise because you don't trust her?"
Jiang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow: "So he came here looking for a scolding?"
Thanks for the invitation. Dan Zuoxi pulled a white tissue from her pocket and surrendered lightly: "...Don't drag me into your women's arguments."
Only Yan Yousui remained detached from the war, excitedly inviting, "I heard there's a really good braised pork intestines place nearby, why don't we go together?"
Lu Han nodded immediately: "I would be honored to accept your offer, thank you Dr. Yan."
Jiang Miaomiao said, "No need to thank me: We'll split the bill, you're welcome."
"It's not like I can't afford it!" Shan Zuoxi muttered. "Lu Han, stick it out! As long as they can eat it, I can afford to invite them a thousand or ten thousand times!"
"Boss Shan is so generous, Dr. Lu is so lucky to have him." Jiang Miaomiao said sarcastically, then took out her phone and swiped it around, turning the screen to face Lu Han: "Then I'll place a group-buying order for 10,000 units. Thank you both for paying." Anyway, there was no requirement to finish eating it today, so she could stock up on the group-buying orders and eat it slowly later, and even resell it.
Lu Han grabbed Shan Zuoxi's ear and replied, "You pig friend!"
...
The braised pork intestines recommended by Yan Yousui is a small, unassuming roadside stall.
The store wasn't big, but it was already full, with several groups of people queuing outside.
The pampered young master Shan looked around at the unpleasant dining environment and frowned, saying, "Are we sure we want to eat here? Is this a place we can even eat in? Should we go somewhere else?"
"If you can't finish your food, just leave. Nobody wants to keep you here." Lu Han was extremely disgusted with him.
Having been humiliated time and again, Shan Zuoxi's tone began to turn sour. "Can't you give me any face in front of everyone?"
Faced with his anger, Lu Han smiled faintly: "No, I can't."
Damn it! Dan Zuoxi turned around and punched herself repeatedly in the chest, the sound of the blows surprisingly loud. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. A wise person knows when to yield. Revenge is never too late. When the time comes for her to follow her husband wherever he goes..."
After considering his options, Shan Zuoxi turned back and changed his expression, turning to Lu Han with the same obsequious tone: "Oh, it's alright. I'm thick-skinned, you don't have to give me face."
"..." Compared to the two of them, Yan Yousui suddenly felt that his relationship with Jiang Miaomiao was really good.
