Chapter 46 Hero Saves the Beauty
Lin Qingmiao's parents and Shi Jin's parents came in.
They had just come to congratulate Lin Qingmiao on the successful conclusion of her performance, but what they saw was this scene.
Lin Qingmiao instantly threw herself into her mother's arms, feeling wronged, and then pointed at Li Qianni angrily, saying, "Mom and Dad, she hit me!"
Li Qianni was truly stunned and genuinely regretted it.
Especially when she saw Shi Jin's parents looking at her with such disgust.
She quickly explained to Shi's mother, "Auntie, it's not like that. It was her, she humiliated me, said I wasn't worthy to speak to her, so I... I..."
But the more anxious she became, the more incoherent her words seemed.
Lin Qingmiao covered her swollen face and cried, "She's lying! I didn't say anything! She just thinks I'm close to Shi Jin and she's jealous of me, so she hit me! Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, you must stand up for Qingmiao! My face hurts so much! My parents have never hit me before, so why did she hit me?!"
Lin's parents looked at their daughter with heartache, wishing they could kill the person in front of them who dared to hit her.
Especially Lin's father, who holds a high position and currently works in the central government, whose imposing presence and cold aura send chills down people's spines.
"You hit my daughter today, and no matter the reason, this matter will not be left like this!"
Then he picked up his phone and called his secretary to immediately investigate Li Qianni's identity and resolve the matter.
When Li Qianni heard Lin's father's phone call, she realized that she might have stirred up a hornet's nest.
Terrified, he quickly grabbed Shi's mother's leg, "Auntie, I really didn't mean it, please help me, just for Shi Jin's sake, please."
Shi's mother subtly pushed Li Qianni away, her face cold as she said, "Li Qianni, Qingmiao is someone I've watched grow up. She's like my daughter. Do you think I would just stand by and watch my daughter be bullied and help the culprit? Besides, what you did today was really outrageous. Although I didn't have any expectations of you, I'm even more disappointed in you now."
Li Qianni felt like the sky had fallen.
Why did things turn out this way?
Can anyone help her?
Just when she was being condemned by everyone, Shi Jin descended from the sky.
He came in and hugged her tightly.
"Shi, Shi Jin?"
Li Qianni looked at him gratefully, as if she had grasped the last straw.
"Xiao Jin?"
When Shi's mother saw her son protect this vicious woman as soon as he entered, she was furious.
He stepped forward to pull Shi Jin away.
Shi Jin skillfully dodged the attack and said righteously, "Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry, I have to take Qianni away first. I will give you an explanation for what happened today in the future."
"Xiao Jin! Are you crazy! She's the one who hit Qing Miao, how can you take her side!"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
No matter how others tried to dissuade him, Shi Jin seemed determined to leave with Li Qianni.
Li Qianni nestled in Shi Jin's arms and smiled contentedly.
The feeling of being held in a man's arms, defying the world, is truly romantic and beautiful.
If she initially approached Shi Jin because of his family background, then now she is certain that she loves Shi Jin, loves this man who would do anything for her.
As Shi Jin led Li Qianni out of the lounge, they happened to see Bai Zhenzhu watching the scene with a sly look on her face.
Shi Jin thought of the WeChat message she had just received.
Your ideal woman is being bullied. Are you going to be her knight in shining armor?
He knew that everything tonight was inextricably linked to Bai Zhenzhu.
Even though he knew perfectly well that Bai Zhenzhu was a scheming and wicked girl, Shi Jin still felt a tightness in his chest when he actually faced her dark side.
Actually, he prefers to believe that Bai Zhenzhu is inherently kind.
Li Qianni was still trembling in his arms, so Shi Jin tightened his embrace, then looked away from Bai Zhenzhu and took Li Qianni out.
Bai Zhenzhu raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, shrugging nonchalantly.
Shi Jin, remember your heroic rescue today. I'll make you kneel before me one day and say "I'm sorry, Pearl, I was wrong" a thousand times...
...
"Shi Jin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be..."
"Qianni, why did you hit Lin Qingmiao? I know you, you're the kind of person who doubts yourself when you're wronged. What did Qingmiao do to make you like this?"
Shi Jin's powerful questions instilled a sense of fear in Li Qianni.
She had never seen Shi Jin so oppressive, or even so angry.
He was always very gentle with her.
"Shi Jin, please believe me. I was really forced into this. Lin Qingmiao went too far, saying she would make it impossible for my parents to make a living in Kyoto. So I hit her in a fit of anger. You know I've always been a coward. How could I dare to hit someone?"
Her eyes were already brimming with pitiful tears, threatening to fall, and her tone was so humble and helpless that Shi Jin did feel a pang of sympathy for her.
“Qianni, I don’t mean to blame you. I just want to find out the truth. Since Lin Qingmiao threatened you first, I will get justice for you. However, I hope there won’t be a next time.”
Even though Shi Jin had been very indulgent and doting on Li Qianni in the past, at this moment Shi Jin seemed to have truly revealed his sharp fangs, showing his domineering and controlling side.
Li Qianni was somewhat dazed and found it hard to accept.
But she couldn't complain, so she could only agree, "Shi Jin, I won't do it again. I won't cause you any more trouble."
"Um."
Although Shi Jin seemed to believe her on the surface, she knew that because of this incident, Shi Jin's gaze towards her had begun to carry a degree of scrutiny and suspicion.
She shouldn't have listened to her mother and stayed calm.
In the end, they made the wrong move.
But she still calmly said, "Shi Jin, thank you for choosing to believe in me."
Shi Jin didn't answer, but instead reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her, then turned to look out the window, his eyes deep and unfathomable...
...
"Pearl, your trick of using someone else to do your dirty work is brilliant! Not only did you make Li Qianni have Lin Qingmiao as an enemy, but you also made Shi Jin's parents hate Li Qingmiao. Most importantly, you made Shi Jin disappointed in Li Qianni. You killed three birds with one stone! I really admire you!" Yin Jiaxi looked at Bai Zhenzhu with admiration and was about to ask her to be her apprentice.
"It's alright."
"But Pearl, I'm still a little worried. You're just letting Shi Jin know that what happened tonight is related to you. Won't he hate you?"
Bai Zhenzhu said indifferently, "So what? I was never a positive figure in his mind to begin with, unlike Li Qianni, who always pretended so well. If anyone should hate someone, he should hate Li Qianni more now."
"Shi Jin likes Li Qianni so much, and has always thought she was innocent and kind. Can he really change his opinion of her so easily? I feel like Shi Jin, with his love-struck mind, will still choose to unconditionally believe Li Qianni."
“Jiaxi, once a mirror is cracked, it can never be whole again…”
...
The next day, Shi Jin took Li Qianni to Lin Qingmiao to apologize.
Li Qianni was no longer as arrogant and domineering as she was yesterday; she was now very obedient and docile.
He said with great shame, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin. I was wrong yesterday. I apologize and hope you can forgive me."
Lin Qingmiao didn't want to forgive her at first, but seeing Shi Jin's extremely oppressive gaze, she swallowed her anger.
"I accept your apology, but I hope you can stay away from Shi Jin in the future."
Lin Qingmiao didn't mind openly expressing her admiration for Shi Jin.
Adult love shouldn't be too complicated; being straightforward is better.
Li Qianni didn't expect Lin Qingmiao to be so direct, and she glanced at Shi Jin beside her with a wronged expression.
Shi Jin was clearly stunned for a few seconds as well.
They had only met a few times; it was unclear where Lin Qingmiao got the confidence to say such things.
So he didn't hold back and retorted to Lin Qingmiao: "Miss Lin, I've always respected you because your mother and my mother are good friends, but that's no excuse for you to interfere in my private life. I hope Miss Lin can be more mindful of her boundaries in the future and mind her own business."
The last four words were spoken with exceptional firmness and conviction by Shi Jin.
This made Lin Qingmiao so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear.
Even so, she still didn't want to give up.
She stubbornly insisted, "But Shi Jin, you and I are the perfect match. How could Li Qianni be worthy of you? Don't be fooled by her innocent appearance!"
"That's my business! Who I like and who I want to be with is my freedom! Lin Qingmiao, since you still feel this way, it seems there's no need for us to contact each other anymore. Goodbye!"
"Qianni, let's go."
After saying that, Shi Jin took Li Qianni's hand and got up to leave.
Li Qianni glanced at their tightly clasped hands, then looked back at the ferocious Lin Qingmiao, giving her a provocative and smug smile...
Lin Qingmiao, so what if we're a good match? Shi Jin's heart is never with you. Shi Jin can only be mine. You clown, hahaha!
