Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Considering Letting Her Off the Hook_1

Seeing her sidekick arrive, Shi Qian immediately became more brazen.

"Xia Qingtian, you had the audacity to hit me just now. I’ll make sure you pay for it now!" she said, her face grim as she directed her assistant, "Go grab that wretched woman for me. I want to teach her a harsh lesson."

Her assistant was always obedient and did as she commanded.

When Shi Qian ordered him to grab Xia Qingtian, he immediately moved towards Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian instantly retreated a step, alert. She was not weak, but she knew she stood no chance against a man. Directly confronting Shi Qian’s assistant was inviting trouble.

She wasn’t that foolish!

But if she fled, not only would it be humiliating, but she was also in high heels and would probably not outrun Shi Qian’s assistant. Could it be...

Was she about to get beaten up by Shi Qian?

Seeing the worry on her face, Shi Qian’s eyes, full of ambition, gleamed with satisfaction. "Feeling scared now? Where’s your cockiness from just now? If you kneel and kowtow to me thrice, and beg me nicely, I might just show you some mercy."

"In your dreams!" Xia Qingtian snorted coldly.

She despised Shi Qian. But compared to her, Shi Qian’s hatred for her was downright immense. Otherwise, even after her divorce with Bo Jingyan, Shi Qian wouldn’t have confronted her in the parking lot, let alone insult her and An’an.

Even without her having done anything, Shi Qian refused to let her go. Now that she had slapped Shi Qian and left her in such a sorry state, even if she kneeled and begged, Shi Qian would probably not let her go and might continue to humiliate her. She wasn’t that stupid!

Shi Qian’s face yet again darkened upon realizing Qingtian wasn’t taking the bait. She glared menacingly and said, "If you don’t drink a toast, you’ll be forced to drink a forfeit. Don’t blame me for not being gentle."

Feeling impatient, she turned to her assistant, "What are you dawdling around for, get moving now!"

The assistant reached out to grab Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian’s face was grim. Just as Shi Qian’s assistant was about to grab her, a thought flashed through her mind.

"Shi Qian..." she erupted suddenly, "I warn you, if you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll surely regret it."

Shi Qian’s assistant had already grabbed her in the middle of her words.

"Fine, I’d like to see how you make me regret it." Shi Qian replied arrogantly.

Xia Qingtian didn’t rush, instead she casually said, "A few days ago, I happened to spot you visiting a tea house. Never would I have expected someone as young as you to enjoy tea. Do you think Bo Jingyan and your mother-in-law from the Bo family know about this hobby of yours?"

Shi Qian’s face turned pale, "What do you mean by that?"

A sense of foreboding suddenly came over her.

"I don’t mean much by it." Xia Qingtian, a cunning smile on her face, responded, "I just think my former mother-in-law, who likes you so much, would want to know more about you. And Bo Jingyan..."

"You do like him, don’t you? You want to marry him, don’t you? But how will he like you if he doesn’t know about you? Bo Jingyan is a good man, except for his jealousy and strong possessiveness. Who were those two men who accompanied you to the tea house that day? If Bo Jingyan found out, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly, and then you’d be done for."

Shi Qian was really scared now.

Since Xia Qingtian knew she visited a tea house a few days ago and was also aware she was accompanied by two men, it meant she truly saw it and was not just trying to trick her into confessing something.

Damn it, Xia Qingtian must have spotted her when she was discussing her further plans and controlling narrative regarding Bo Jingyan and his mother’s situation with two doctors she had arranged for Bo Jingyan’s mother’s treatment.

Shi Qian was filled with regret for not being careful enough that day.

If Xia Qingtian really spilled the beans to Bo Jingyan, he could easily uncover the truth she had been meticulously hiding.

Although she had managed to muddle through once with Shen Junru’s help, Shen Junru was currently unavailable. If Bo Jingyan grew suspicious again, it would be a hundred times or a thousand times more difficult to fool him

And even then, she might not be able to make it through.

In the end, she had no choice but to compromise.

Shi Qian bit her lip. Her eyes filled with humiliation, her voice was no longer filled with the arrogance and flamboyance it had earlier. "What exactly do you want?" she said feebly.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian was certain that her words had definitely scared her.

With a calm face, she lifted her chin, "Your assistant is hurting me!"

"Let go of her." Even though she wasn’t willing, Shi Qian had to make her assistant release Xia Qingtian.

After being released, Xia Qingtian rubbed her arm which was hurt by Shi Qian’s assistant, and said, "Good boy!"

Her tone didn’t sound like she was talking to a human being, but rather training a dog. Although Shi Qian hated her to the core she didn’t dare lay hands on her. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Alright, my assistant has released you. What other demands do you have? Speak all at once."

Xia Qingtian squinted. It seemed that Shi Qian was really scared of this matter getting exposed. The more guilty and scared Shi Qian was, the more it hinted something about her and Bo Jingyan’s relationship.

Now she had enough to convict Shi Qian. She just needed a little more concrete evidence.

To make Shi Qian less suspicious, she chose not to push Shi Qian any further and lightly said, "Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I’m divorced from Bo Jingyan now, so whatever happens with the Bo family isn’t my business. As long as you don’t provoke me, I have no interest in your issues."

"You should know my principle. I don’t mess with those who don’t mess with me. But if anyone dares mess with me, I ensure they pay tenfold. You must have learnt your lesson now, right?"

As she pronounced the last sentence, she meaningfully glanced at the swollen cheek of Shi Qian, making her implication pretty apparent.

As she felt Xia Qingtian’s gaze, Shi Qian’s cheek that had been slapped started burning again, igniting her rage towards Xia Qingtian.

But now, not only could she not hit Xia Qingtian, for the sake of keeping her secret, she even had to appease her.

Holding back her rage towards Xia Qingtian, she reassured her, "Don’t worry, I won’t trouble you anymore."

With such an outcome, Xia Qingtian was more than satisfied.

Not only had she taught Shi Qian a lesson, but she also made her fall in line.
