To Defeat Scum, You Must Start Early, My Lady - Chapter 502
Chapter 502: Chapter 501 Yin Qin Gets Jealous (Second Update)
The elevator, which was spacious initially, now seemed crowded.
Yin Qin involuntarily took two steps back, the other people seemingly oblivious to his presence.
A big boy spoke up, “Boss, are we really going to move and live here? I have heard that the average house price here is 100,000, and you bought three at a time, won’t you go bankrupt?”
“You underestimate our boss. He’s rich. Not to mention three suites, he can afford thirty.”
“I just feel it’s too much hassle for one Luo Xiaolang. Is it worth it?”
“Our boss’s decision is always right.” The big boy was very supportive of God Joe, “Luo Xiaolang is a rare talent. If she can join our team, we will be invincible!”
“Even so, there’s no need for our boss to bear such a big loss for her alone.” Another boy grumbled.
“Maybe, our boss has his eyes on Luo Xiaolang. This is so-called ‘Near water towers get moon first’!” A big boy who had been quiet all along suddenly joked.
God Joe finally couldn’t help but speak up.
He said in a deep voice, “Isn’t one day of training enough? So energetic?”
“Enough, enough, I’m about to pass out.”
The sound of hustle and bustle filled the elevator.
The noise was giving Yin Qin a headache.
Fortunately, everyone got off at the tenth floor or so.
Yin Qin went directly to the top floor by himself.
For some reason, he felt somewhat uncomfortable, and inexplicably felt a little oppressed.
He knocked on Ji Baijian’s door.
The look on Ji Baijian’s face made it clear that he wasn’t welcome.
Yin Qin didn’t care about what Ji Baijian was thinking. He said, “I’m hungry, I want to eat.”
Ji Baijian glanced at Yin Qin.
At the moment, Song Zhizhi was sitting on the sofa with a cushion in her arms, watching TV.
She was watching the final audition match of “Hall of Heaven”.
Yin Qin sat down with a casual air, pointing at the two people on the TV screen, “These two are the final champions.”
“…” Song Zhizhi looked at Yin Qin speechlessly.
Yin Qin grinned insufferably.
“Why are you here? Didn’t you and Baixin stick together? Last time you were invited back to have dinner with the Ji Family, Zhang Qingmei said your relationship is good now, even often calling Baixin over the phone. Zhang Qingmei is impressed with you.” Song Zhizhi’s remark was somewhat sarcastic, “What, trying to bridge the gap between Baixin and her family members? You’re really a dedicated husband.”
“Still not as good as Ji Baijian.” Yin Qin purposely said.
Song Zhizhi rolled her eyes, “Don’t you need to accompany your beloved to dinner tonight?”
“Baixin is working overtime tonight.”
“Is she working now?”
“She started today. So there are a lot of things she needs to deal with.”
“So she’s started to move on.”
“Finally moving on, or I’d be going insane.” Yin Qin couldn’t help it anymore.
“Yes, you’ve finally weathered the storm.” Song Zhizhi sneered, “Just for one Baixin, you’ve abandoned your wife and kid.”
“…” Yin Qin knew that he wouldn’t hear any kind words from Song Zhizhi, he muttered, “Isn’t Luo Xiaolang doing great now? Doing live-streaming to earn money, and even joined the national team.”
“So all you can see is the surface. Have you ever thought about how hard it is for Luo Xiaolang, who has no family or friends, to try to stand on her own in Jin City? Have you thought about how tough it is for a single mom to raise a child? Forget it, besides Baixin, you can’t think of anything else.” Song Zhizhi had a hopeless expression.
At that moment, Yin Qin somewhat wished to continue the conversation. He said, “I just saw Joe.”
“Who?”
“The game anchor, the captain of the national team, the person who invited Luo Xiaolang to join the national team is him.”
“Did he come to see Xiaolang?”
“I think he moved his studio here for Xiaolang.” said Yin Qin, seemingly calm.
Song Zhizhi’s mouth twitched, “Jealous?”
“Why would I be jealous! I just happened to bump into him!” Yin Qin’s voice suddenly rose.
Ji Baijian, trying to tease Yin Qin, frowned unhappily.
“Why are you getting so angry if you’re not jealous?”
“You’re misunderstanding me.”
“If I misunderstood you, just clarify it. Getting so angry, it seems a bit like ‘thou dost protest too much’.”
“I don’t want to argue with you, anyway, you’ve been hanging out with Ji, and your mouth has become as poisonous as his, I won’t torture myself arguing with you.”
“Jokes aside.” Song Zhizhi suddenly became serious.
Yin Qin looked at her.
“Since you’re really together with Baixin, you should be good and stay with her, and stop bothering Xiaolang. Otherwise, you’d really be a total jerk!”
Yin Qin felt a twinge in his heart.
Stop bothering Xiaolang.
He was afraid he dare not bother her anymore.
He was even somewhat afraid to face Luo Xiaolang, worrying that some emotions in his heart would overflow.
“You can come and have a meal now.” Ji Baijian’s voice suddenly resonated in the living room.
Yin Qin didn’t say much more to Song Zhizhi, he followed Ji Baijian to the dining table.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Ji Baijian, you’re only giving me this to eat!”
“Eat it or not, it’s your choice.”
“Wait.” Yin Qin grabbed Ji Baijian who was about to leave, “Can you provide some wine?”
“Drinking wine with noodles?”
“Isn’t this to relieve stress? Don’t you know how much pressure I am under at the Milky Way? Those old board members are still trying to figure out how to kick me out.”
Ji Baijian gave Yin Qin a glance, he turned around and got him a bottle of pure Jin City liquor, throwing down a sentence, “You chose your own path, you know your own warmth and cold.”
Yin Qin always felt that he was like an open book in front of Ji Baijian, unable to hide anything from him.
He opened the liquor, eating noodles and drinking wine.
Ji Baijian embraced Song Zhizhi and went back to their room.
The two really were lovey-dovey, which made him feel
quite uncomfortable.
Thankfully, Tank was still there to accompany him.
At that moment, he felt a bit sorry for Tank. After being bullied day after day, he might have already developed a mental illness.
He finished a big bowl of noodles, and even drained the bottle of liquor in front of him.
His head felt a little dizzy.
At that moment, he received a call from Baixin, “Yin Qin, are you still at work?”
“You’re back?”
“Mhm, I just got home.”
“I’ll be right back.”
“Be careful while driving.”
“Okay.”
Yin Qin hung up the phone.
He stood up from his chair, everything in front of him was starting to blur.
This liquor was strong and had quite the kick.
Stumblingly, he endured and walked out of Ji Baijian’s house.
He was thinking, how come he had to go back so soon.
He had to go back to Baixin’s so soon.
He entered the elevator and pressed the floor button.
The moment she descended one floor, the elevator door opened.
Luo Xiaolang, standing in front of the elevator, smelled a strong hint of alcohol, which slightly furrowed her eyebrows. As she lifted her eyes, she saw Yin Qin standing inside.
She normally found the smell of alcohol somewhat off-putting, but it seemed even more so at this moment.
She stood there, not getting in.
As the elevator doors were about to close, Yin Qin abruptly stopped them. “Aren’t you going downstairs?” he asked.
Pressing her lips together, Luo Xiaolang finally stepped in.
She pressed the button for the 10th floor.
She wasn’t going downstairs but to Joe’s place to check on things. Now that the tiger cub was finally asleep, she wanted to go greet him.
Yin Qin just watched as she pressed the button.
If he remembered correctly, when he had arrived, Joe and his teammates were also on this floor.
Bizarrely, he started feeling infuriated.
So Luo Xiaolang was actually going to see Joe.
The moment the elevator arrived at her floor and Luo Xiaolang was about to step out, Yin Qin unexpectedly grabbed her arm.
Luo Xiaolang frowned, her disgust apparent.
Even a drunk Yin Qin could clearly see it.
He asked, “Where are you going?”
“Is it any of your business?” she retorted.
“Are you going to Joe’s place?!” he pressed.
“Let go of me.” Luo Xiaolang warned.
“Joe’s studio is full of grown men, is it suitable for a woman like you to go there?” Yin Qin’s voice was slightly loud.
He was obviously picking a fight, obviously venting.
“Do you consider me a woman?” Luo Xiaolang questioned.
Yin Qin was taken aback.
Luo Xiaolang said, “Other than being capable of bearing children, in what way do I look like a woman.”
“Still, it’s not right. Some people have strange preferences.” Yin Qin held onto her even more tightly.
Before, Luo Xiaolang had virtually no female characteristics, her chest bandaged tightly to resemble a man’s. But now, with her obviously feminine physique and her height advantage, people couldn’t help but take an extra glance.
Luo Xiaolang seemed unwilling to engage in a fruitless argument with Yin Qin.
She said, “Let go.”
“No.”
“Let go!” Luo Xiaolang’s expression hardened, and she clutched her fists.
Yin Qin could sense Luo Xiaolang’s anger, even considering the possibility of being punched by her the next second.
However, right at that moment, they heard a male voice – one that would sound appealing even to other men – calling out, “Xiaolang.”
Both Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang looked up at Joe.
“Just now you sent a message saying that you were coming down. I waited for a while and when you didn’t show up, I came out to check. Who is this…” Joe’s gaze shifted to a flushed Yin Qin.
Luo Xiaolang shoved Yin Qin’s hand away. “Just a drunk.” she stated.
“Do you need me to call the police?”
“No need, just a weak, drunk chicken.”
You’re the weak one; your entire family is weak!
Luo Xiaolang didn’t even spare Yin Qin a glance. She walked straight towards Joe.
Joe naturally put his arm around Luo Xiaolang’s shoulder.
Luo Xiaolang seemed to lose her train of thought at the gesture.
She wasn’t sure when exactly she started reacting to gender differences.
Joe leaned in and whispered, “It makes it more effective to ward off the weak, drunk chickens around you.”
They were standing quite close, as if whispering sweet nothings to each other.
At that moment, Yin Qin felt like he was about to explode with rage!
Fuck!
Where was this man’s hand touching? Where was his mouth supposedly aiming?
At this moment, in Yin Qin’s eyes, Joe was blatantly flirting with Luo Xiaolang, and she was allowing it.
Just now when he only touched her arm, she glared at him like she wanted to kill him, but now she’s allowing Joe’s more audacious actions!
He was so furious he felt like he was going to jump up, watching as Joe and Luo Xiaolang disappeared before his eyes, and the elevator doors closed.
He genuinely wanted to kill Joe, that asshole!
Taking advantage of innocent women.
God damn it, it’s making him furious!
The elevator doors closed.
Joe naturally released Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang looked at Joe.
“There are many ways to completely reject someone,” Joe smiled, “Like this kind of infuriating one.”
Who’s infuriated?
Yin Qin?
He wouldn’t be mad.
She could be with anyone, it wouldn’t matter.
However, she didn’t contradict him at that moment. She said, “We can have a game tonight.”
“Mmm, it’s a good opportunity for the others to play with you. Starting from tomorrow, we’ll have two hours of training every day. There’s a domestic competition next month, and I hope you can participate.”
“Ok.” Luo Xiaolang agreed without hesitation.
Yin Qin sat in his car.
Since he was drunk, he couldn’t drive. And at that moment, he didn’t call a taxi either.
He felt like charging back up and punching someone.
He couldn’t calm down.
He really couldn’t calm down.
Damn, are his people blind?
Who would be attracted to an ugly woman like Luo Xiaolang?
Although that man Joe isn’t as handsome as him, he’s not ugly and is arguably above average! Plus, he’s really tall, taller than him, and perfect by Luo Xiaolang’s side – in contrast, he’s only about 5 cm taller than Xiaolang and it’s quite a struggle when they stand together!
The more it sunk in, the worse he felt.
Yin Qin suddenly smacked his steering wheel hard.
He really wanted to kill that man, Joe.
He wanted to smash Joe’s hand into bits and tear his mouth apart.
He was feeling incredibly suffocated.
So much so, he couldn’t understand why he was so furious and couldn’t bear the thought that his feelings for Luo Xiaolang were not just a little, but possibly quite intense.
His throat moved slightly.
Just then, his phone rang again.
Yin Qin looked at his incoming call.
Suddenly he exploded when he saw “Baixin” on his caller ID.
Damn, what kind of messy life has he gotten himself into!
