Chapter 278: Meeting in Chunjiang Restaurant 3
After Jiang Siliu went upstairs, she saw a beautiful man who looked like a flower in the early spring morning. The man was sitting with a weirdo with an ox-head mask. Sitting opposite them was a pet.i.te girl.
The pet.i.te girl looked like…
Her eyes and brows were delicate and extremely bright and elegant. Her aura was like… stars; she seemed to be sparkling as she sat there.
She seemed to somehow be within sight but beyond reach.
When the woman frowned while looking at the menu on the wall, she exuded a sense of inapproachable coldness. When she was deep in thoughts while pressing down on her lips, she gave off a sense of ruthlessness and ambition. The way she carried herself made others feel that she was not to be messed around. She was rather cute when she smiled and talked to the people opposite her after she was done thinking. She was like a tiny, satiated cat, soft and adorable.
She was beautiful and attractive.
Jiang Siliu felt her heart skip a beat inexplicably.
Realizing that she was actually nervous because of this unfamiliar lady, Jiang Siliu was furious. She went up and pointed at the pet.i.te girl’s nose.
“So, you are Qi Qingyao.”
The servant was stunned by Jiang Siliu’s appearance and quickly backed off. The guests were done ordering anyway.
Qi Qingyao was taken aback by the lady who had suddenly appeared. She did not know this person.
Jiang Siliu noticed that she was being ignored and became angrier. “I’m talking to you! Do you hear me?”
“…” Qi Qingyao blinked her eyes and thought to herself, ‘Who is this crazy person!”
Jiang Siliu was ignored twice and her ego that was bloated from having been able to do whatever she wanted in Qingzhou City was instantly bruised. Her voice was dripping with acid. “You don’t look half-bad, but you look like a vixen! I don’t like you.”
Qi Qingyao found it funny to be called a vixen in person for the first time. She lifted her eyes and swept a glance at this little lady. “Are you here to argue? Or here to fight?”
“Argue? Fight?” Jiang Siliu was muddled.
Qi Qingyao got up, the aura on her face was strong enough to suffocate Jiang Siliu. She drawled, “If not, why have you, lady, come looking for trouble. Do you have a death wish?”
Lu Yan introduced her. “She is the Jiang family’s youngest daughter, Jiang Siliu.”
Qi Qingyao said, “Oh.” It turned out to be someone from that Jiang family from the other day. No wonder she was so arrogant and bossy, even looking for trouble inexplicably.
Jiang Siliu regained her composure, and only then did she recall her original goal.
She quickly bowed toward Lu Yan slightly.
Her smiling face was gentle, generous, well-behaved, and cute.
“What a coincidence to have b.u.mped into Brother Lu here.”
Lu Yan was silent.
Jiang Siliu glanced at the man with the ox-head mask who had not said a word and moved her gaze back to Qi Qingyao. Then, she said to Lu Yan, “Brother Lu, why are you still mingling around with her? She’s not a good person. She even insulted you; she’s not human.”
Qi Qingyao caught on. “So, she’s your fan.”
Lu Yan asked, “What’s a ‘fan’?”
Qi Qingyao said with a pout, “Love interest.”
Jiang Siliu was embarra.s.sed and annoyed at being called Lu Yan’s love interest. She was so embarra.s.sed that her cheeks went instantly red like apples. “Brother Lu, let’s go out for a walk together. Don’t bother yourself with this kind of crazy person anymore.”
Qi Qingyao sighed when she saw that Lu Yan remained unmoving. “Aren’t you going to deal with her!!” She did not want to b.u.mp heads with the Jiang family.
Lu Yan had no choice but to get up and say, “Jiang Siliu, please don’t bother me.”
Jiang Siliu noticed that Lu Yan was doing what Qi Qingyao told him to do and was instantly dumbfounded. “Brother Lu, I’m doing all this for your own good. This woman insulted you at my residence, yet you’re still hanging out with her. What exactly are you thinking?”
Lu Yan replied, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Jiang Siliu was flabbergasted, looking as though she had experienced a huge shock.
Seeing that Jiang Siliu intended to continue speaking, Lu Yan said to Qi Qingyao, his tone slightly pleading, “Help me deal with this.”
Qi Qingyao said, “What?”
Lu Yan continued, “I don’t know how to deal with women.” This was also why he seldom went out! It was to reduce these redundant interactions!
Qi Qingyao, “…”
After Qi Qingyao recovered from the shock, she held her forehead and smiled. “If I step in, I’m afraid she will go home in tears.”
“Actually, I would like to see that.” Lu Yan could not have cared less.
Jiang Siliu was shocked when she heard the conversation flowing smoothly between the two of them. She accused Qi Qingyao, “What are you saying, you vixen!! You insulted my Brother Lu! I’m not done with you.” She must stand up for Brother Lu, and make him see her in a different light. Then maybe, she would be able to marry into the richest family in Northern Liang!
Qi Qingyao casually swept a glance at Jiang Siliu. She said unhurriedly, “Sure I insulted him, so mind your own d.a.m.n business.”
Jiang Siliu declared possessively, “He’s my Brother Lu.”
Qi Qingyao asked light-heartedly, “Is your surname Lu as well?”
Jiang Siliu snarled indignantly, “We’re family friends! What do you, a country widow, know about it?”
Qi Qingyao’s mocking smile slightly betrayed her intention to irritate someone. “I don’t understand sh*t. But your Brother Lu is now mine. So, stay away from him and don’t bother him from now on!”
All the color drained from Jiang Siliu’s face.
She looked at Lu Yan, then looked at the lady called Qi Qingyao again.
“Yours? What—what are you saying?” She said in exasperation, “You insulted Brother Lu so thoroughly that he has almost become a eunuch in everyone’s words! You still dare to fraternize with him and spout nonsense!”
Qi Qingyao faced the infuriated girl and blinked, her eyes full of mischief. “Only I need to know whether he’s a eunuch or not.”
Jiang Siliu, “…”
Ah!!
What did this mean?
Did this widow and her Brother Lu…
Lu Yan’s face flushed upon hearing this. Ahem!
Dong Jing blinked and thought to himself, ‘Master was getting teased!’
Jiang Yeqian’s lips were pressed in a firm line under the ox-head mask.
Qi Qingyao looked at Jiang Siliu, whose expression was on the verge of a breakdown, and added a final blow. “Anyway, I’m the only person in this whole world who can insult him!”
Jiang Siliu, “…”
Qi Qingyao said with a vague smile on her lips, “Aren’t you envious!”
Jiang Siliu pressed down on her lips, saying nothing.
She stared at Qi Qingyao resentfully.
Qi Qingyao said good-heartedly, “There’s no point in being envious!”
Jiang Siliu was so upset that she was seeing red. Oh, her pure image of her Brother Lu!
Qi Qingyao continued leisurely, “I insulted him, but he still hangs out with me. What do you think the nature of our relations.h.i.+p is?”
Jiang Siliu could no longer hold it in. “You, you, you, you, what exactly is your relations.h.i.+p with him?!”
Qi Qingyao looked at the little girl who was on the verge of tears with satisfaction. She said calmly, “I told you he’s mine. Why are you still asking?”
Jiang Siliu would never believe her words, “You—you’re a widow! What does Brother Lu even see in you?”
Qi Qingyao blinked and gave a charming smile. Her tone was pure and innocent to the extreme as she said, “Maybe it’s because I’m a vixen~~~ You already know that! Vixens have more tricks up their sleeves. You won’t be able to learn them.”
“You’re shameless!!” Jiang Siliu was so angry that tears were swimming in her eyes.
When she initially heard that she was called Qi Qingyao, she thought her name was a little similar to her maid’s, but Jiang Siliu swore that she had never seen such a shameless woman in her life.
