Shen Qingyue did not dare to meet his eyes. “Her presence hasn’t affected me; this is your matter. You don’t need to change anything because of me.” Chi Ming, indeed, was different from Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen never cared about her feelings, but Chi Ming always seemed to consider her, gradually becoming a part of her life, omnipresent. She did not look at him, but she could feel his burning gaze, exposing the emotions she shouldn’t have. She abruptly changed the subject, “Afterward, how much did Qin Zhen ask you to compensate? Send me the bill, and I’ll cover the expenses.”

“The car, I had someone smash it. The guy, I had Zhang Jianci beat him up. How does any of this concern you? Plus, I’ve been planning to do this for a while; I’m happy to pay for it.’

Shen Qingyue felt that Chi Ming was talking nonsense again. He was taciturn in some aspects but talkative in others. She was sure he wouldn’t accept the money. However, there were some matters she had to handle. She asked, “Your parents and your younger brother, do they have any plans to go to the gambling city in the next month?”

“I’ll be going there in mid-month. How do you know?” Chi Ming turned his head.

Shen Qingyue did not know how to explain; she just said, “A guess. I heard it’s been quite chaotic over there recently. It might be best if they don’t go.”

“My parents have been living there for over a decade,” Chi Ming said casually. What it was like there, no one understood better than their own family.

Seeing that he still would not relent, Shen Qingyue carefully chose her words and said, “You might find this ridiculous, but I recently had a dream about a terrorist attack in the gambling city. A hotel in the city center was bombed, and everyone inside perished… If your family insists on going, I hope you can steer them away from that hotel.” She felt that her words were a bit irrational. It was baseless for her to ask them to change hotels for no reason.

To her surprise, Chi Ming agreed, “I’ll have them book a hotel farther away.”

Shen Qingyue was stunned. “You actually believe my dream and are willing to change your parents’ plans just like that?”

“I believe in you,” Chi Ming said, looking at her. Changing hotels to fulfill her request wasn’t a big deal; his parents could stay anywhere.

Shen Qingyue did not expect Chi Ming to accommodate her to this extent. She didn’t dare to meet his gaze any longer and focused on looking out the window at the scenery.

On the square.

Zhang Jianci kicked out the last bodyguard and smirked at Qin Zhen with a mocking grin. “Looking at the way President Qin handles his people, acting all tough, you’d think they’re something. Turns out, just like President Qin, a paper tiger.”

He said with a sinister tone, and Ling Bing’er wanted to curse, but she did not have the courage to speak up. These people fought as if they had nothing to lose, and she was afraid one of those punches would send her flying.

Qin Zhen stared at him, his eyes as fierce as a man-eater. But now he sat in a

wheelchair, just like Zhang Jianci had said, a paper tiger. “Tell Chi Ming, I’ll remember this debt, I’m not done with him!”

“Oh, I got it. By the way, the car and the people need reimbursement.

Remember to contact them to settle it.” Zhang Jianci’s dismissive attitude was like pressing Qin Zhen’s face into the ground and rubbing it. Afterward, he did not waste any more words with Qin Zhen and left with his people.

Once everyone had cleared out, Ling Bing’er jumped out immediately. “Brother!

Shen Qingyue and her mistress went too far! We can’t just let this…”

“Shut up!” Qin Zhen snapped, “Why didn’t I see you stand up to them earlier? Now you’re brave? Didn’t I warn you not to provoke Shen Qingyue again? Do you take my words as a joke?”

Ling Bing’er shivered from the scolding and dared not speak.

“Ice, she was scared too. Zhen, don’t be too harsh on her.” Wei Jiuer pulled Ling Binger behind her, looking submissive. “It’s Qingyue, how did she become so violent now… Did we disappoint her too much?” She spoke with a face full of self-blame, as if she was concerned about Shen Qingyue’s current mental state. In any case, she looked completely innocent.

“I’ve thought about compensating her, but she refused it herself. What’s there to be disappointed about now? Even if she is, it’s her own doing!” Qin Zhen’s anger hadn’t subsided completely, but facing Wei Jiu’er, he made an effort to control himself. “Enough about her. Is the jewelry ready?”

“We bought it, it’s in the car…” Wei Jiu’er suddenly realized and hurried to the car, taking out a box from amidst the shattered glass. Upon opening it, she found that the diamond necklace inside was broken….
