CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 114: WILLINGLY PLAYING THE TIGER BEHIND THE FOX’S POWER

Qin Yishu’s mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to react. The next second, she heard even more venomous words from Gu Jiayin, "No way, looking at sister’s expression, he didn’t even give you money. Sister, could it be in his eyes, you’re lower than a woman who sells herself?"

Before Qin Yishu could explode, Gu Jiayin laughed wantonly, "Sis, you’re really losing out on this deal."

"You!" Qin Yishu was so angry her chest heaved up and down, her fists clenched tightly, "Gu Jiayin, you bitch."

Qin Yishu must have been blinded by rage; she completely forgot about how formidable Gu Jiayin was. She raised her jade-like hand to slap her, using so much force that a pearl flower from her high-piled bun fell off.

Gu Jiayin obviously wasn’t in the mood to fight today. She easily caught Qin Yishu’s wrist with one hand and caught the pearl flower with the other, "Sister, on Eagle Emperor’s cruise ship, with so many high-society men coming and going, such a shrew-like behavior is unworthy of your prestigious lady demeanor."

Saying this, she put the pearl flower back onto Qin Yishu with a smiling face like a blooming flower. Seeing Qin Yishu’s pale little face, she smiled and stepped two steps back, "Sister, I hope you have fun tonight."

After speaking, she turned and left gracefully, her movements swaying with the spring breeze, leaving Qin Yishu with a heart full of anger and no way to vent it, grinding her teeth as she looked at Gu Jiayin’s back.

At this moment, "Sister."

Qin Xueyao, accompanied by her manager, approached with a full celebrity flair, her wavy hair covering half of her face with sunglasses, five months pregnant but still wearing towering heels.

Indeed, having been a star for so long, a day without beauty might as well be death.

The person currently most in the limelight in the Qin Family is undoubtedly Qin Xueyao, seemingly destined for lifelong glory due to the child in her womb.

Qin Yishu, already infuriated by Gu Jiayin, felt even more stifled seeing Qin Xueyao’s striking and arrogant look.

So, she said nothing.

Qin Xueyao took off her sunglasses with a brisk voice, smiling, "Sister, I saw what just happened. That bitch Gu Jiayin is too arrogant, I’ll take care of her for you later."

Qin Yishu disdainfully looked Qin Xueyao up and down, "Your belly is already showing, and you’re still wearing high heels, aren’t you afraid people will say you’re faking your pregnancy?"

Qin Xueyao sneered, "Many stars wear high heels when they’re pregnant; it’s not just me. I have ultrasound reports to prove it, what’s there to fear?"

Qin Yishu didn’t bother arguing with her, "There’s no need to boast. How are you, a woman six months pregnant, going to deal with Gu Jiayin?"

Qin Xueyao smiled mysteriously, leaning close to Qin Yishu’s ear, "I’ve got it all arranged, just wait for the good show."

...

Gu Jiayin entered the banquet hall and found Sheng Qianchi drinking and chatting with the Eagle Emperor’s chief, a middle-aged man in his forties.

Dou Chuanyan.

Rumors had it that Eagle Emperor’s background was mysterious, untouchable by anyone. In truth, it was because its hidden forces were vast and intertwined.

Dou Chuanyan himself rose from the underworld, fought for decades, and had a crowd of loyal subordinates willing to die for him like they were under a spell.

But in front of the Sheng Family, with a history of 600 years, his power was insignificant, so Dou Chuanyan appeared very humble before Sheng Qianchi; even from afar, one could see his fawning posture.

Sheng Qianchi sat elegantly, slightly lowering his head, toying with the wine glass in his hand, occasionally tilting his head to take a sip, listening to Dou Chuanyan’s words, occasionally nodding.

He truly was favored by the heavens, noble by nature, standing out in the large banquet hall.

Gu Jiayin composed herself slightly and walked over, sitting beside Sheng Qianchi without hesitation, even intentionally maintaining a certain intimacy.

Sheng Qianchi’s hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, this woman was trying to use him tonight, being so attentive, to those unaware, it might seem like they were very intimate privately.

Yet he was willing to indulge her, pamper her, she wants to be the cunning fox, he would be the tiger that lends its might.

So, he immediately flashed a doting smile, stretched out his long arm to pull her into his embrace, his deep voice filled with a tenderness that belied his appearance, "Why did it take you so long, hmm?"

Gu Jiayin laughed charmingly, "I haven’t seen my sister for a long time, there’s so much to talk about."

Seeing Gu Jiayin, Dou Chuanyan felt like he was pricked by a thorn, and witnessing Sheng Qianchi’s indulgence towards her, he felt like sitting on pins and needles. Sometimes, it’s not the king who is the scariest, but the king’s woman.

Once a man is driven by lust, he becomes a tool for a woman’s revenge.

Although Sheng Qianchi was not a man easily swayed by lust, Gu Jiayin seemed to be an exception.

Dou Chuanyan quickly put on a flattering smile, "Miss Gu becomes more and more beautiful."

Gu Jiayin seemed to suddenly notice Dou Chuanyan, lifting her head from Sheng Qianchi’s embrace in surprise, "Isn’t this President Dou? What, you are still doing business of forcing decent girls onto the auction stage to earn dirty money?"

Dou Chuanyan, "..."

Sheng Qianchi kept his head down, as if letting Gu Jiayin take over the conversation, but his eyes hidden under his lids were full of amused sparkle.

He was very aware of how sharp-tongued this woman was.

Dou Chuanyan laughed awkwardly, "Why so unforgiving, Miss Gu? I can be considered a matchmaker for you and Young Master Chi; through an auction, you became Young Master Chi’s woman, a heavenly match!"

Gu Jiayin sneered.

Dou Chuanyan’s forehead already had a faint sheen of sweat.

Daring to put Gu Jiayin on the auction stage back then was entirely due to receiving a great gift from a mysterious figure, saying Gu Jiayin had offended their master while working as a detective and must be ruined.

He had been in the underworld for so many years, doing everything carefully, and didn’t dare agree initially, only deciding after investigating Gu Jiayin’s background thoroughly.

The data showed that Gu Jiayin was indeed simple.

Even though she had worked as a detective for a few years and was promoted to the Royal Criminal Investigation Team awarded the highest honor, it wasn’t considered remarkable.

The Royal Criminal Investigation Team had new appointments or resignations every year; she was just another one of them.

Auctioning such a simple background yet incredibly beautiful woman to earn big money seemed very tempting.

But now, she became a woman held dearly by Sheng Qianchi, more intimidating than peacock gall or crane top-red.

Seeing Dou Chuanyan’s face flash with various emotions, Gu Jiayin smiled charmingly, "That may be true, but President Dou, you earned a hundred million from me, this money can’t be earned for nothing."

This was clearly going to demand an exorbitant price.

Actually, this calmed Dou Chuanyan; a greedy woman was much easier to deal with than one seeking only revenge, so he smiled deeply, "Miss Gu, please say, whatever Dou Chuan can do, I will make sure you’re satisfied."
