Chapter 1196: Utterly Embarrassed

She believed that given her old age, those people would not dare to provoke her.

She assumed a dominant stance.

She cried and made a fuss, constantly insulting Qiao Nian. At the same time, she complained about how their family had adopted Qiao Nian and how much she had taken advantage of them.

The more she acted like this, the more agitated and interested the people in the cafe became, and the louder the discussion became.

On one hand, Shen Qiongzhi had to face her unreasonable mother-in-law. On the other hand, she heard everyone discussing Qiao Chen from all directions.

She had never been so embarrassed.

Her eyes nearly rolled back.

However, something even more embarrassing was coming.

The staff of the cafe could not take it anymore when she saw that the entire cafe was filled with He Yujuan’s unreasonable voice. Walking to them and not hiding her contempt, she said rudely, “I’m sorry, our shop requests that customers be quiet and considerate. Please don’t continue to disturb the other customers.

“How about this? We won’t charge you for the coffee. Please have your drink somewhere else!”

That was no different from kicking them out!

The staff was just short of chasing them out with a broom.

Shen Qiongzhi was a famous figure in Rao City and had been famous in the past.

Her face burned with embarrassment. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. After tossing the money on the table and apologizing to the staff, she forcefully pulled He Yujuan and quickly left the cafe.

…

Outside the cafe.

Qiao Nian had already met up with Shen Qingqing and the others.

Shen Qingqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that she had come out unscathed. She asked worriedly, “Sister Nian, did Qiao Chen’s mother cause you trouble?”

She was not overthinking it. That family was shameless.

They had done many disgusting things in Rao City.

She was worried that Sister Nian would suffer.

Qiao Nian lazily lifted her eyelids, showing her beautiful and eye-catching dark eyes. There was no trace of having been bullied on her face. “No. She just wanted to talk to me.”

“What did she say?” Shen Qingqing asked blankly.

The tall boy beside her dragged her to his side, held her head, and changed the topic teasingly. “Shen Qingqing, why are you so talkative? I didn’t realize that you were so gossipy in the past.”

“Damn!” The apple-faced girl’s face turned red with anger and frustration. She forgot what she was talking about and focused all her attention on the boy. “Liang Bowen, let go of me. Didn’t I tell you not to press my head like this? I suspect that my height of 1.58 meters has a lot to do with this habit of yours. How many times have I told you? Don’t press my head. Don’t press my head.”

“I call this doting on you.”

“Let go, or I’ll bite you to death!”

The boy was warm and handsome, but he was too cynical and obviously not a serious person. He smiled at the furious girl. “Come, bite me.”

Shen Qingqing went silent.

“You’re not biting anymore?” Liang Bowen chuckled. He was thick-skinned.

Shen Qingqing turned her head away and her earlobes turned red. She cursed in a low voice, “Shameless.”

But she did not bare her fangs and bite him anymore.

Seeing that he had successfully changed the topic, Liang Bowen turned around and asked Qiao Nian with a smile, “Sister Nian, where are we going to eat?”

“Emerald Pavilion, shall we?” The girl paused and pulled down the brim of her cap. Then, she explained, “It’s just a Chinese restaurant nearby. The food tastes pretty good. After eating, I’ll take you guys to Lan Pavilion to have fun. You can sing and play pool there.”
