CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24 LET GO OF MY HUSBAND

Xue Long clutched his burning face, watching Zhao Qingqing in terror. "Miss Zhao, that scumbag was the one who hit you. Why... why are you hitting me?"

"Shut up! You dared to mock me. Just wait until I’ve dealt with this stinking beggar, then I’ll take care of you!"

Xue Long’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his legs trembled. I’m starting to regret coming to watch this show. The thought of Zhao Qingqing dealing with me later... He wished he could kneel and beg for mercy right now.

This is ridiculous! She’s the young lady of a top-tier family in Jinling City. Forget about me; even my uncle can’t afford to provoke her. He desperately wanted to tell Zhao Qingqing that he wasn’t mocking her. But even if I say it, she won’t believe me.

Zhao Qingqing, however, didn’t spare him another glance. She turned, pulled a baseball bat from her car, and charged furiously toward Lin Xiao.

Just then, a teasing voice reached Zhao Qingqing’s ears.

"My, my, Miss Zhao seems quite fiery today!"

"Damn it! Which bitch is talking about me? Are you looking to die?" Zhao Qingqing shouted angrily. She immediately spun around, searching for the source of the voice. She had to see which fool dared to mock her.

But the moment she turned, she froze. Zhao Qingqing’s face, which had been contorted with rage, instantly turned as white as a sheet.

"Miss... Miss Shao! I... I didn’t know it was you! My words... my words were just farts!" Zhao Qingqing stammered.

That’s right. The person who had appeared before her was none other than Shao Mei’er, the number one beauty of Jinling City.

Although the Zhao Family was considered a top-tier family in Jinling City, compared to the Shao Family, the difference was like heaven and earth.

At this moment, Shao Mei’er watched Zhao Qingqing with a captivating gaze. Though her eyes flowed with an irresistible charm, Zhao Qingqing felt her scalp tingle with fear.

"Miss Shao, I... I was wrong! I apologize!"

"Are you sincere?" Shao Mei’er asked, her smile like a blossoming flower.

"Sincere! Absolutely sincere!"

"But I’m a little upset. What do you think we should do about that?" Shao Mei’er was still smiling, her expression as alluring as ever.

But Zhao Qingqing was trembling from head to toe. She tried desperately to force a smile, but she didn’t realize that her expression was uglier than if she were crying.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingqing began slapping her own face, hard. One slap after another.

"Alright, alright. You’re making it seem like I’m the mean one. Why don’t you do this instead? Just go teach this piece of trash a lesson," Shao Mei’er said, pointing at Xue Long.

Xue Long’s mind went completely blank. He collapsed to the ground in sheer terror.

"Miss Shao, I... I haven’t provoked you, have I?" he asked, his voice trembling. He was so terrified he was on the verge of tears.

"Hmm, no, you haven’t provoked me. I just think you’re so ugly that it’s ruining my mood."

To be honest, the real reason Shao Mei’er wanted to deal with Xue Long was that she had arrived some time ago. She had seen him gloating when Zhao Qingqing was giving Lin Xiao a hard time.

Xue Long burst into tears. It’s not my fault I’m ugly!

But Zhao Qingqing didn’t care about any of that. She had already intended to deal with this scumbag. Now, with Shao Mei’er’s permission, she immediately swung the baseball bat and charged at Xue Long.

Before Xue Long even had a chance to beg for mercy, the bat came crashing down on his body. He screamed in agony and scrambled pitifully under a car.

"Get the hell out here!" Zhao Qingqing roared.

But of course, Xue Long didn’t dare come out. After yelling a few more times and realizing it was useless, Zhao Qingqing hurried back to Shao Mei’er’s side.

"Miss Shao," she said, her voice trembling, "that scumbag is hiding under the car. I... I can’t hit him!"

"Hmm, I see that. You can go now."

Zhao Qingqing felt as if she had received a royal pardon. Terrified that Shao Mei’er might change her mind, she stumbled and crawled back into her car. Stomping on the accelerator, she sped away from the bar.

Shao Mei’er suddenly linked her arm with Lin Xiao’s. He instantly felt the bountiful pressure of her lethal assets. The intoxicating sensation sent his heart into a frantic rhythm.

Shao Mei’er looked at Lin Xiao, her eyes as soft and seductive as silk. "Bad Daddy, did that feel good?"

"It was alright." To be frank, Lin Xiao felt no real satisfaction from tormenting a piece of trash like Xue Long.

Shao Mei’er asked with a sultry smile, "Bad Daddy, do you want to feel even..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Qingning’s cold voice came from behind.

"Miss Shao, please let go of my husband!"

Yes, Su Qingning was furious. Her devastatingly beautiful face was covered in a layer of frost. She had been in her office reviewing financial reports when she happened to glance out the window and see Shao Mei’er.

In that instant, she lost all mood to work. She rushed downstairs, only to see Shao Mei’er with her arm linked through Lin Xiao’s, whispering something to him. The sight made her blood boil.

Shao Mei’er released Lin Xiao’s arm with a radiant smile. "Oh, Madam, you’ve arrived! This servant pays her respects." With that, she gave Su Qingning a little curtsy, mimicking a character from a period drama.

Su Qingning’s expression darkened. She felt not a sliver of joy, only a surge of greater anger. I thought she was joking back at the Su Family estate when she said I could be Lin Xiao’s main wife and she would be his second. But now, it seems she’s trying to make that a reality, step by step.

I’m so angry. I have this strange feeling that she’s trying to steal my treasure. Even though I know I don’t like Lin Xiao, and we have an agreement to divorce in three months, I just can’t stand this.

Ignoring Shao Mei’er’s placating gesture, Su Qingning said coldly, "Lin Xiao, you’re coming with me!"

"Alright, Wifey!"

Shao Mei’er smiled like a flower in full bloom. "Goodbye, Madam! Goodbye, my dear husband!"

The words only made Su Qingning more annoyed, but she didn’t break her stride. She knew getting upset was useless. This was Shao Mei’er, after all; she wasn’t powerful enough to lash out at her yet.

"Wifey, where are we going?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Home!" Su Qingning snapped.

Lin Xiao laughed. "Wow, finally going home! Does that mean we can have our wedding night?"

"Shut up!" Su Qingning said angrily. This shameless rascal. He always knows exactly which buttons to push. I’m already furious, and he’s still in the mood to say such indecent things.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "What, are you unhappy because of Shao Mei’er?"

Su Qingning just snorted coldly, which was an answer in itself.

"Don’t worry. My heart only has room for you. No seductive little vixen can ever lure it away. At most, they can only lure away my body!"

Su Qingning was so exasperated she almost laughed. Only a shameless scoundrel like him could say something so outrageous.

What she didn’t know was that her smile was, to Lin Xiao, like a hundred flowers blooming at once—so beautiful it made his heart tremble.

"Wifey, you’re so captivating when you smile. You should do it more often."

"Hmph. Then I won’t smile for you," Su Qingning retorted haughtily.

At her words, Lin Xiao clutched his chest dramatically. "Wifey, my heart is breaking! To mend my wounded soul, how about you wear a pair of black stockings for me tonight?"

Su Qingning’s face flushed with rage, and she threw a small, angry punch at him.

Smiling, Lin Xiao easily caught her fist in his hand.

Su Qingning was both mortified and panicked. She struggled to pull her hand free, but the woman behind the wheel was no match for him. No matter how hard she tried, her struggles were futile.

Lin Xiao just watched her with a grin, enjoying her indignant, teeth-grinding expression.

He was about to speak again when his face suddenly grew serious.

"Wifey, have you been poisoned with a Gu curse?"
