Chapter 2297 - 733: Beautiful and Rich Girl and Ocean Mare_4

Hey, what’s so interesting about comedy shows? Such a waste of time.

With that energy, why not study the latest adult anime?

Not only is the plot thrilling, but you can also learn some new moves.

...

Near noon, the comedy show was over.

"Qianqian, I’m hungry." Jing pulled her hand and pleaded, "Shall we go eat? There’s a new beef hot pot place just across the community’s east gate, and the reviews are amazing!"

"Sounds great!" The mention of food sparked Zhao Yaqian’s interest.

The two of them put on thick down jackets and walked intimately arm-in-arm out of the apartment building.

Outside, little snowflakes started falling again at some point, and they joyfully left footprints in the thin layer of snow as they chattered their way into the hot pot restaurant.

After a steaming meal of meat, both girls felt warm and cozy.

Then, they wandered hand-in-hand into a nearby shopping mall.

After two in the afternoon, the two walked back to the community, carrying large bags.

Pedestrians filled the sidewalk.

"Zhao Yaqian?!"

A slightly surprised male voice suddenly came from alongside them.

They both paused, turning to look in the direction of the voice. The instant Zhao Yaqian saw the face, her smile froze.

Li Jingzhong.

She frowned slightly, tugged at Jing beside her, and whispered, "Ignore him, let’s go."

Curious, Jing glanced at the man. He appeared to be a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties.

Thick eyebrows and large eyes with a freshly styled side-parted hairdo, he looked decent at first glance.

However, it was clear Qianqian loathed him.

They quickened their pace and continued walking forward.

"Hey, don’t walk so fast." Li Jingzhong’s footsteps followed from behind, he said cheerfully, "It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, Qianqian, you’re even prettier than before. By the way, where are you working now? Still a beautician?"

His gaze brazenly swept over Zhao Yaqian’s figure, made shapely even under the down jacket.

He ended up focusing on the strikingly beautiful, alabaster-skinned girl beside her, his eyes brightening.

Zhao Yaqian stopped abruptly, turned around, her voice icy, "Do we know each other?"

"Ha." Li Jingzhong wasn’t expecting her attitude, and his smile faded slightly, "Qianqian, you’re really forgetful, aren’t you? I was just checking how you’ve been since I haven’t seen you for so long."

Zhao Yaqian barely gave him a scornful look, as if she were looking at trash, before pulling Jing along and walking away, too indifferent to utter a single more word.

Watching the two walk away, Li Jingzhong’s expression turned completely sour.

Since he was publicly humiliated by that Mercedes-Benz S-Class guy on the roadside, he hadn’t seen Zhao Yaqian again.

Running into her like this, he thought it was an unexpected opportunity.

In his view, people like Tang Song, rich second generation types, are the most playful, swapping women faster than they swap cars.

With a few months gone by, Zhao Yaqian, as a plaything, might have already been discarded.

And a girl who has tasted luxury life, only to be tossed back into the ordinary, is often the easiest to manipulate.

He intended to use the same old trick to achieve his incomplete wish.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Yaqian seemed completely changed this meeting.

Her contempt from deep inside was even more cutting than the "dumbass" she uttered before.

He watched them disappear into the YJHT Community gate not far away, his eyes glinting maliciously.

Damn you, Zhao Yaqian! Just you wait!

...

Only when she entered the community did Zhao Yaqian let out a long sigh and regain her relaxed and happy expression.

"Qianqian." Jing shook her arm, her eyes clear and curious, "Who was that guy just now? You seemed to really dislike him."

"Oh, him?" Zhao Yaqian scoffed dismissively, "Some greasy old man who used to frequently harass me at the shop, named Li Jingzhong, he wanted to keep me..."

As she explained.

Jing’s eyes brightened evermore.

The vice president of a design company? He noticed Qianqian when she was still a beautician? Wanted to keep her with a job offer? Later, Brother Tang Song intervened heroically?

So that’s the story!

This dumbass Li Jingzhong was not only a minor antagonist who harassed Qianqian...

But also a small boss that Brother Tang Song personally KO’d during his noob village days?!

In her imagination, the story’s logical links immediately became clear:

Li Jingzhong = Early game villain boss!

Trigger condition = Harassing Zhao Yaqian!

Defeat reward = Brother Tang Song’s affinity + Hero rescues beauty CG animation!

If... if she helps Brother Song farm this boss again, will a new hidden item drop?

Like [Beauty’s grateful kiss +10], unlock [French style kiss] new move!

(???) Si Guoyi!

Better figure out the boss’s spawn location first!

Jing’s eyes darted around, but her face remained calm, "So... Qianqian, do you know the name of Li Jingzhong’s company?"

"I think it’s called [Inspiration Design], I tossed his business card ages ago."

"Oh, alright!" Jing quietly noted down the name in her mind.

...

Back to the 1st building’s big flat.

As soon as Jing entered, she saw her mother, Chen Man, gracefully arranging flowers on the sofa, seemingly waiting for her.

"Jingjing, you’re back."

"Mom~" Jing ran over and gave her mom a big hug.

Chen Man put down the sprig she was holding and lovingly stroked her daughter’s head, casually asking, "Recently... how are things with Tang Song? Is he doing well?"
