Chapter 279 — Lingshan, Stop Fooling Around
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Arrow Brand, are you and Qiu Lingshan really an item?" Shen Yushu had followed Wei Zhao onto the motorboat and asked in a small, curious-child voice.
"No." Wei Zhao did not lie to Shen Yushu. There was no need to, with something like this.
"Arrow Brand, really? You two truly have nothing going on?" Shen Yushu was a little disappointed. Over this time she had come to know Wei Zhao; he was the kind of man who owned up to what he did and acted on impulse. If he really had that kind of relationship with Qiu Lingshan, he would not have denied it.
Just as on the school field, when he had pulled Tang Zhi along and slapped Zou Ruoming across the face to declare that Tang Zhi was his woman.
"Really, nothing," Wei Zhao said. "Why? Do you wish we did?"
"Ah, there are some things you don't know. My brother courted her for years, but she acted so high and mighty, ignoring him completely—and then she humiliated him, saying he couldn't even beat her, that he was no man!" Shen Yushu grew angry as she said it. "I thought you'd finally handled that sly fox for good, Arrow Brand, and taught her what 'formidable' really means!"
"..." Wei Zhao stared at her, speechless. "How did she become a sly fox?"
"She was in the hospital... wasn't she with you..." Even though Shen Yushu was usually quite outspoken, when it came to this, she still could not help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it wasn't what you're imagining." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. "That day I had a wound on my leg. She only wanted to punish me a little, so she went and pressed on my wound..."
"So that's how it was..." Shen Yushu nodded in understanding, thinking to herself that she had misjudged Qiu Lingshan—she had assumed the woman had ripened and was starting to heat up. Still, the fact that she was afraid of Arrow Brand was undeniable! Mm, so she wasn't Arrow Brand's woman, but Arrow Brand still had the potential to conquer her—not bad, that counted as venting some anger. Shen Yushu consoled herself.
Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu were whispering away behind her, and Qiu Lingshan heard every word clearly. Thank goodness Liu Wangli was driving the boat; the only one close to the two of them was herself. If anyone else had overheard, she would probably have died of shame!
Hearing Shen Yushu actually call her a shameless fox, Qiu Lingshan wanted to strangle the girl. How on earth had she become a shameless fox? She had never had a single scandal to her name, all right... uh... wait, no! Wasn't Shen Yushu's next sentence precisely a scandal about her?
The business between her and Wei Zhao at the hospital had spread through the whole police station, so that for those few days her colleagues kept giving her strange looks!
Qiu Lingshan knew perfectly well what they were thinking! They probably all figured that a violent woman like her would actually do that kind of thing for a man—simply absurd, wasn't it?
She was just about to turn around and explain, to keep Wei Zhao from ruining her reputation, but Wei Zhao honestly explained their relationship to Shen Yushu, which took Qiu Lingshan somewhat by surprise.
This fellow was actually rather upright—he hadn't taken the chance to slander her. It was just Shen Yushu's childish notions that left Qiu Lingshan at a loss for words. Because she had turned down her brother, the girl wanted to take revenge this way?
Qiu Lingshan shook her head and had to admit that Wei Zhao was indeed very strong, but if it came to a fair one-on-one fight, she believed she would not lose to him.
