Chapter 246: Chapter 246: The Zhongzhou City Business Association Steps In to Suppress!
Ding Meixin’s heart had been a mess, but Xu Qianli’s kiss left her mind completely blank, no longer thinking of anything, as she instinctively hugged his neck and passionately kissed him back.
After a series of passionate kisses, Ding Meixin suddenly realized that Xu Qianli’s hands were starting to wander, and she quickly held them down, shyly saying, "No, my cousin is still here!"
Liu Qian waved her hand dismissively, "It’s fine, just pretend I’m air."
"But you’re a living person, how can we treat you like air?"
"You were just making out with Director Xu behind my back, and, um, I can’t even say it!"
"Cousin, how could you do this to me?"
Ding Meixin angrily confronted Liu Qian, wondering how she could do such a thing.
Faced with the accusation, Liu Qian didn’t know how to respond and urgently turned her gaze to Xu Qianli.
You’re the man here, you caused this trouble, so help deal with it quickly, will you? Don’t make this difficult for me.
Xu Qianli said, "Meixin, listen to me."
"Hehehe..."
Ding Meixin suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that both Xu Qianli and Liu Qian found it baffling.
Liu Qian said, "Meixin, have you lost your mind? Why are you laughing instead of getting angry?"
"Who said I was angry?"
"I actually knew about you two a long time ago."
"That day I went with you, cousin, to Tianranju for a blind date, and when I saw Director Xu, your expression, I noticed everything. I knew right then that there was something going on between you two."
"As we spent more time together, how could I not notice? It’s just that I never made it explicit, waiting for you to come clean to me."
"I didn’t expect that today, when I came to see Director Xu, I would catch you two in the act. You really got me there."
"Cousin, what puzzles me is, you clearly fell for Director Xu so hard, and you even started a thing before me, so why did you let him have a blind date with me, allowing me to become his girlfriend?"
Ding Meixin calmly spoke out these words.
Initially, when she went to Tianranju for a blind date with Xu Qianli, she sensed something was definitely going on between the two.
Later interactions only confirmed her suspicions, as the looks between Xu Qianli and Liu Qian were odd, and they would even act affectionately in front of her.
Once, that rascal Xu Qianli even hugged both her and Liu Qian around the waist at the same time, which completely confirmed their relationship beyond doubt.
But what she didn’t understand was why Liu Qian, who had started with Xu Qianli earlier, let her become the official girlfriend?
Could there be some special reason behind this?
Liu Qian wore a look of embarrassment.
She had thought that her affair with Xu Qianli was a secret, unknown to anyone but them.
Now she realized everything had been seen through.
As for Ding Meixin’s question, she found it too embarrassing to voice. She couldn’t just admit that she was foolish for not seizing the opportunity and had let her younger cousin become Xu Qianli’s official girlfriend. It would be too shameful to say.
After some thought, Liu Qian said, "Meixin, since you know about Xu Qian and me, I won’t keep anything from you. We did indeed start earlier than you did, even earlier. Now I’ll just ask you one thing, are you mad?"
"Mad? Which influential man has just one woman by his side? With someone as impressive as Director Xu, there are bound to be many women after him."
"Director Xu, you’re robbing the cradle with such a pretty and innocent woman," she said with a laugh.
"And I’m still curious, how come you weren’t Director Xu’s girlfriend earlier?"
Ding Meixin said.
Liu Qian quickly responded, "As long as you’re not angry, that’s fine. As for everything else, I’ll tell you right now."
Before she could finish, Liu Qian glared fiercely at Xu Qianli, "We women are having a private chat here, what are you a big man doing sticking around for? Get dressed and get out!"
Without further discussion, Liu Qian quickly ushered Xu Qianli out and slammed the door behind him.
Xu Qianli only had time to put on his pants, and he was still holding his shoes and shirt in his hands while standing barefoot outside the door.
The two female bodyguards outside couldn’t help but laugh at his appearance.
Xu Qianli, while putting on his shoes and shirt, said irritably, "Laugh, just laugh; hitting is affection, scolding is love, do you understand? Stop laughing and give me a hand, my arm hurts."
Finally dressed properly, Xu Qianli, with nothing better to do, went and bought some breakfast. By the time he returned, Liu Qian and Ding Meixin had finished their whispering and were giving him strange looks.
Although Xu Qianli hadn’t heard anything, by looking at their eyes and the way they treated him, he immediately understood that the two beauties must have reached an agreement to stay by his side in the future.
Hehe, this was indeed good fortune.
Seeing Xu Qianli’s smug look, Liu Qian quickly rolled her eyes at him.
"Humph, what’s there to be so proud about just because you’re eating breakfast?"
"Looking at you, I know what you’re up to. How come both of us sisters ended up with you? We’re truly a match made in infamy."
"Enough talk, hurry up and eat. You need to take care of yourself and not get hurt again!"
Though her words were harsh, her actions were gentle as Liu Qian patiently fed Xu Qianli porridge bite by bite.
Ding Meixin wasn’t idle either, busily peeling an egg to feed Xu Qianli.
Savoring the porridge and eggs, and looking at the two tender and caring beauties before him, Xu Qianli felt incredibly fortunate, silently declaring himself the luckiest man in the world.
In the midst of breakfast, someone came running over—it was Ge Pingping.
She had stayed home since returning to Jiang City the day before and had only found out that morning that Xu Qianli was nearly shot. She had run all the way here with tears reddening her eyes.
Liu Qian glanced at Ding Meixin, then at Ge Pingping, and rolled her eyes at Xu Qianli again.
Humph, Xu Qianli, you’re such a scoundrel, a man of misdeeds, too greedy. You might as well choke on your porridge!
During his stay in the hospital, accompanied by the three beauties, Xu Qianli spent three or four days recovering from his wound, which was no longer a major issue, and he was finally discharged.
In these few days, the investigation of the shooting incident had been completed.
Xia Dongyang, after being tortured by Sister Wen to near-death, was handed over to Wu Kai, who received significant merit for dealing with the case and clarified every detail of the investigation.
Besides Xia Dongyang, two other big-time bosses from Zhongzhou City were involved. They had been arrested as accomplices and were now in custody.
Xia Dongyang, the surviving gunmen, and Qingzi were all under detention, awaiting trial.
At the same time the case was being clarified, a piece of news extremely unfavorable to Xu Qianli emerged from Zhongzhou City.
The Zhongzhou City Business Association issued an announcement declaring that none of its members would invest in any projects in Qingshan Town, further calling on business people everywhere to be cautious about investing in Qingshan Town.
Privately, word spread that anyone who dared to defy the order and invest in Qingshan Town would face the most ruthless retaliation from all members of the Zhongzhou City Business Association!
