Chapter 176: Chapter 179 Making Trouble Out of Nothing

"I should have time, but won’t it be too troublesome for your aunt?"

Xiao Yi hesitated before he said.

"Not at all, not at all, how could it be? It’s just a casual dinner at home."

Wang Qingqing hurriedly responded.

"Well, alright then, just call me when it’s time."

Hearing Wang Qingqing say this, Xiao Yi still nodded and agreed to it.

"Okay, okay, is that it then?"

As soon as Xiao Yi agreed, Wang Qingqing instantly showed a hint of excitement. After a while, she calmed down and asked somewhat cautiously.

"Hmm, that’s it, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi’s face was slightly puzzled; he felt that Wang Qingqing’s tone was a bit strange, like she had invited him to dinner and he had accepted.

He accepted!

Great!

Wang Qingqing clenched the phone tightly in her hand and pumped her fist with undeniable excitement on her face.

No, I must hurry and tell my aunt, and inform her in advance so she doesn’t accidentally slip up. Also, I need to have her prepare, yes, I have to buy that ingredient, I’ll cook myself!

It took Wang Qingqing quite some time to get over her excitement. She brushed aside the strand of hair that fell on her forehead and picked up the phone again, dialing her aunt’s number.

...

"You mean, she and that guy have basically no relation at all?"

On the campus road, in Jin Xiaohan’s exclusive Audi, the window pane that had been smashed by Xiao Yi had been replaced with a brand-new one, but you could still faintly tell it was newly installed because it had minor differences from the original.

Jin Xiaohan sat in the passenger seat, his eyes wide open as he stared at his good-for-nothing adviser, Zhang Bing, feeling an urge to strangle him. It was this guy who had told him that Xiao Yi was involved with Wang Qingqing, leading him to make trouble for Xiao Yi for no reason. He ended up taking several hits and almost landed in jail, and now he’s being told that maybe there was nothing between Xiao Yi and Wang Qingqing?

"Well, Young Master Jin, based on the current situation, it seems to be the case."

Feeling Jin Xiaohan’s angry gaze, Zhang Bing lowered his head so much it almost touched his neck, his eyes showing a hint of grievance. He had never said that guy had something to do with Wang Qingqing. It was just an assumption on Jin Xiaohan’s part; he only relayed what he saw. He couldn’t dare to voice this to Jin Xiaohan, though it was stuck in his mind.

"What do you mean ’seems to be’?"

Jin Xiaohan said irritably, very dissatisfied with Zhang Bing’s vague language, "There either is a relationship, or there isn’t, what does ’seems to be’ mean!"

"Zhang Qin said she had never seen Wang Qingqing with him, and we haven’t seen Wang Qingqing and that guy together either. So, I think, they probably have no relation, but whether there is truly no relation, only they would know for sure," Zhang Bing quickly explained, sensing Jin Xiaohan’s anger.

"Why didn’t you clarify this with me earlier!"

Jin Xiaohan’s gaze was as if it could devour Zhang Bing.

He was absolutely furious. If he had known about this earlier, would he have gone looking for trouble with that bumpkin? If he hadn’t sought out the bumpkin, would he have endured so much aggravation? None of this would have happened.

"I... I didn’t know at the time,"

Zhang Bing looked at Jin Xiaohan with aggrieved eyes, murmuring softly, while adding in his heart, and besides, I never said they were related, did I?

"You..., you’re really good for nothing but trouble!"Jin Xiaohan, looking at Zhang Bing’s aggrieved expression, recalled the situation. If Zhang Bing had known, he certainly would’ve told him. But even after thinking it over, he still felt frustrated and cursed bitterly.

"Young Master Jin, actually, there’s no need to be so angry. If they’re not related, isn’t that good? We can ignore him. After all, he said he won’t come looking for trouble with us again. Right now, you just continue chasing after that girl Wang Qingqing."

After pouring out his grievance in his heart, Zhang Bing still conscientiously assumed his role as a good-for-nothing adviser and started offering suggestions to an angry Jin Xiaohan.

Ignore him?

Jin Xiaohan sneered in his heart. Could he really afford to ignore him now? For the sake of getting back at him, he had already spent all his savings accumulated over the years, and even took some of his mother’s money to throw into the mix. The arrow had been shot; could it be taken back?

Moreover, regardless of whether the bumpkin had anything to do with Wang Qingqing, the humiliation he brought him was immeasurable. Was he, Jin Xiaohan, supposed to just tolerate that?

However, this matter was highly private. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. He didn’t want to bring it up with Zhang Bing, so he waved his hand and directly asked about Wang Qingqing’s situation, "What’s Wang Qingqing been up to lately?"

"She’s the same as always, attending classes, leaving classes, then going to the library to read, and also to tutoring."

Zhang Bing seemed to have put in some effort. When Jin Xiaohan asked, he immediately answered.

"Got it. Get me her schedule. I need to carefully consider how to win her over. I can’t drag this on any longer. The longer it drags, the more chance for complications. Don’t let some other beast snatch her away."

Jin Xiaohan’s anger subsided slightly, and he nodded with a trace of satisfaction, continuing to instruct with a sleazy glint in his eyes.

"Yes, please rest assured, Young Master Jin. I’ll have it ready as soon as I get back, guaranteed to know even what time she goes to the bathroom."

"Hmm, that would be best. If you handle this well, it will count as redeeming yourself for past mistakes."

Jin Xiaohan nodded in satisfaction.

Thinking of Wang Qingqing’s delicate and lovely face, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

...

Time, in the tranquil days, seems to pass particularly quickly. Xiao Yi went to school punctually every morning, listened to Zeng Xiaoxiao pick fights with Zhao Yuhua, then went home to cultivate in the afternoons, almost entirely forgetting the passage of time until he received a call from Wang Qingqing. It was only then that he suddenly realized another week had flown by, and tomorrow would be yet another Saturday.

"What’s wrong, is there a problem with the time, Xiao Yi?"

Feeling Xiao Yi’s sudden silence, Wang Qingqing couldn’t help but feel nervous as she spoke from the other end of the phone.

"Ah, sorry, I just got distracted by something. No, there’s no problem. Sunday at three in the afternoon, right? I’ll be sure to wait for you at the school gate on time."

Xiao Yi quickly snapped out of his reverie, apologizing somewhat awkwardly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
