Silence gradually spread, and Ying Qiao’s face almost turned into a color palette, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple emerging, it was just so brilliant.
“What? Nothing to say?” Bi’an sneered, then turned to look at Jiang Lan and fanned the flames, “See? Next time you look for a boyfriend, you must open your eyes. You must never marry someone who keeps a spare tire and plays two boats with a sense of moral corruption.”
“…”
Jiang Lan stared at Ying Qiao silently.
Speak up or you’re about to lose your lovely boyfriend.
Chen Hua also looked at Ying Qiao, his expression filled with grief and anger mixed with shock and confusion.
Why don’t you speak?!
Could it be that what Bi’an said was true?
He took a step back in horror and hugged his arms. Could it be that this Dogecoin really had any improper thoughts about him beyond the friendship of colleague and friend?
Ying Qiao was stared at by three people and felt overwhelmed.
Following the saying “You’ll pay for what you have done sooner or later”, he understood a new truth.
——Always leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future.
Ying Qiao sighed deeply, pinched his nose tiredly, and looked at Bi’an: “Do you really want me to explain it to you in person?”
Before Bi’an could react, he sneered, “What else can you explain? I want to see you weave a flower.”
“Then I’ll tell you.” Ying Qiao nodded and turned his gaze to Jiang Lan: “I could see that Bi’an had a crush on Chen Hua. At that time, I didn’t get along with him, so I deliberately used Chen Hua to annoy him.”
After a pause, he added cautiously, “Chen Hua and I have known each other for nearly two thousand years, and he has always been asking for a pay raise or a year-end bonus.”
“No boss would like such a subordinate.”
So there is no possibility of sparks flying between them, only raging anger!
For example, now, Ying Qiao had unilaterally decided to deduct Chen Hua’s extra bonus this year!
Not enough to accomplish anything, but more likely to cause trouble!
Not worth the extra money!
Ying Qiao spoke just two sentences easily, but they were like a heavy hammer hitting the other three people’s heads.
Bi’an & Chen Hua & Jiang Lan: !!!!!!!!!!!!
Jiang Lan immediately looked at his fourth brother with sympathy.
He remembered that Fourth Brother had said before that the person he liked was a backup for Ying Long. At that time, he didn’t know that Ying Long was Ying Qiao, and he secretly sympathized with Fourth Brother for being a backup.
But he really didn’t expect that the spare tire was Chen Hua!
No wonder Fourth Brother disliked Ying Qiao so much.
So this was the root cause?
Jiang Lan supported Bi’an with his eyes: “There is no future in having a secret crush, love should be expressed out loud.”
How can you chase your wife if you are so timid?!
That’s right, now Jiang Lan thought it was good to have Boss Chen as the fourth sister-in-law!
After all, he was beautiful, capable and had a good temper.
He was just worried that his fourth brother couldn’t catch up.
Well.
“Bi’an has a crush on me?”
Chen Hua was delighted at first, thinking that I am indeed still attractive and it isn’t really that no one is interested in me.
Then he looked up and down at Bi’an, and his mind quickly recalled the few times they had spent time together, and then he fell silent again.
He wondered if Ying Qiao had imagined something strange in his mind. It didn’t look like Bi’an was secretly in love with him, right? If he really had a crush on him, why would he be so sarcastic every time they met?
Those who didn’t know would think there was a grudge.
“What Ying Qiao said… was just a misunderstanding, right?” Chen Hua looked at Bi’an for confirmation.
If it was true, then he chose to refuse.
He would never date a kindergarten kid.
Bi’an: …
What the f**k is going on?
Didn’t I come here to mess with Ying Qiao today? But I messed with myself???
And what’s with Chen Hua’s look of “I hope this is fake”?
Bi’an felt so angry that he forced a smile and said to Chen Hua in the expectant eyes: “Of course it’s a misunderstanding.” No way.
Damn, he is going to kill Ying Long!!!
Hearing that it was just a misunderstanding, Chen Hua was relieved and said with an exaggerated smile: “Since it is a misunderstanding, it is good to resolve it. I brought the people from Taizi Lake back and settled them in the lobby. I still have work to do in the company, so I will leave first?”
It’s really rare that one is so passionate about eating melons that he ends up becoming the melon owner himself.
Chen Hua now just wanted to throw away the rotten melon and go back to make money!
I won’t keep you company anymore. Bye.
Bi’an had no reason to ask him to stay, so he could only nod gloomily: “Goodbye, I won’t see you off.”
“No need to see me off, no need to see me off. Just continue chatting.” Chen Hua waved his hand, said hello to Ying Qiao, and quickly slipped away.
The entanglements between these ancient monsters were so complicated.
He was still a child and couldn’t be messed with.
After Chen Hua left, only three of them were left.
Ying Qiao’s face turned from cloudy to sunny, and Jiang Lan looked at his fourth brother with sympathy and worry. Only Bi’an looked as if a storm was about to come.
“So who is my sister-in-law?” Jiang Lan whispered.
How come sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t?
Bi’an said expressionlessly: “You don’t have a sister-in-law anymore.”
After saying that, he stared at Ying Qiao and said, “Come out with me.”
“I asked you before I explained it just now, and you agreed.” Ying Qiao’s feet took root, standing still.
He won’t take the blame for this.
Bi’an: …
His face was slightly ferocious, as if he wanted to kill someone with a shark.
But his brother was still here, so Shark Man could not vent his anger and could only be furious.
Jiang Lan understood that the person Fourth Brother liked was Chen Hua. But with his straightforward way of thinking, he couldn’t understand why Bi’an said it was a misunderstanding.
“Why didn’t you just say it directly?”
“…”
Bi’an took a deep breath and said, “If I said, wouldn’t I just wait for him to reject me? Then wouldn’t we be embarrassed and have to avoid each other when we meet next time?”
What he said seemed to make some sense, but when you thought about it carefully, it didn’t make sense.
Jiang Lan scratched his face: “But if you say it’s a misunderstanding, doesn’t that mean there’s no chance? At least if you say it directly, you can still try to pursue him. And maybe my sister-in-law will be moved!”
“…”
Bi’an fell silent. It seemed that what his younger brother said made more sense?
But it was too late to say anything now.
Bi’an waved his hand with a gloomy face and took Suan Ni and Jiao Tu out of Jiang Lan’s bag: “I’m going back first. We can talk about your and Ying Qiao’s matter after big brother comes.”
His heart was so exhausted, and only his lovely brothers could give him some comfort.
Suan Ni and Jiao Tu were forced to watch the whole process in the bag, and both thought that their fourth brother was the most miserable.
Even Suan Ni, who had already expelled his fourth brother from the “brother category”, couldn’t help but express sympathy. He patted Bi’an’s shoulder with his furry little paws and said seriously: “There will always be a sister-in-law.”
Bi’an rubbed him, then turned and left with a haggard look on his face.
Ying Qiao sighed, and because he was his brother-in-law after all, and one more ally meant more strength, he reminded him, “Chen Hua was born with a brain defect. If you really like him, it’s useless to beat around the bush. You have to be straightforward. Besides, he likes money the most, so it’s always right to please him.”
Bi’an paused and suddenly turned to look at him.
“I’ve said this much. If you still can’t catch him, then there’s nothing I can do.” Ying Qiao spread his hands.
We can’t really let him tie someone to Bi’an’s bed.
That’s still too much of doggy behavior.
Don’t do this unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Bi’an looked at him again, said coldly “I know”, and then walked away with big strides.
Jiang Lan looked at his fourth brother’s slightly rejuvenated back and said with emotion: “Love really makes people exhausted.”
“It is secret love that makes people haggard.” Ying Qiao responded quickly.
“For us, there is no such problem at all.”
Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes at him and snorted softly: “We’ll talk about our business when we get home.”
He couldn’t let it go so easily.
Since his trick failed, Ying Qiao had to change his strategy: “Well, how about coming to my house tonight? The tail is still in the refrigerator. If we don’t eat it now, it will become stale.”
Yes, there are still some imported snacks that I haven’t eaten yet.
Jiang Lan almost forgot about this and immediately agreed: “Then let’s go to your house.”
Anyway, eating meat doesn’t delay the settlement.
….
After making the appointment, the two went downstairs to the lobby to find Jiu Ding.
When they were at Taizi Lake, Ying Qiao tied up Jiu Ding and threw him aside. It was Chen Hua who got him back.
At this time, he was still tied up in the same way, but his whole body was stuffed into a bronze tripod, and there was a tiger demon next to him who was responsible for watching him to prevent him from running away again.
When Jiang Lan and the others came downstairs to look for someone, they heard Jiu Ding cursing and twisting in the cauldron like a giant worm.
The tiger demon who was in charge of guarding him ignored his cursing and just played with his cell phone nearby.
It was not until he saw Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao coming that the tiger demon quickly put away his phone, patted the bronze tripod again, and warned in a low voice: “Shut up quickly, if you keep cursing and anger the two big Buddhas, I’m afraid you won’t survive.”
Jiu Ding: …
He closed his mouth angrily and unwillingly, then waited for Ying Qiao with his eyes, shouting silently: Let me go quickly!
Ying Qiao walked closer, walked around the bronze tripod, and then stared at it carefully for a long while.
Jiu Ding was frightened by his gaze and couldn’t help but shrink back. Then he said fiercely, “What are you looking at? Do you want to lock me up again?”
Ying Qiao sighed and said regretfully, “Sure enough, it’s not Geng Chen.”
Although Geng Chen was an idiot, he was not like the one in front of him who was a pure 24k.
Jiu Ding got excited when he heard this, and said, “I told you that you recognized the wrong person. You guys are chasing me one by one, and now there is no emperor. It’s useless even if you find me.”
He struggled to move towards Ying Qiao and said, “Since you recognized the wrong person, let me go immediately.”
Ying Qiao looked at him thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan kindly untied the rope for him and said, “Even if we let you go, the people who wanted to arrest you before will not let you go.”
Although they didn’t know what those so-called “Qian faction” people wanted to do with Jiu Ding, it at least showed that Jiu Ding was very important to them.
We must not let the Nine Cauldrons fall into the hands of the other party.
Jiang Lan looked kind and had a good tone. So Jiu Ding, who was eager to pull the rope, paused when he heard this, and his expression was obviously hesitant: “I can hide.”
“Didn’t you hide before, but weren’t you still found? And hiding from place to place must be hard, right?”
Jiang Lan took back the special rope, pointed at his worn and bleached blue shirt, and showed a standard, kind smile that was meant to trick children: “If you don’t want to be arrested by them, you might as well stay in the police station.”
He motioned Jiu Ding to look at the sign at the service window not far away: “Do you see that sign? The Monster Management Bureau is the only official agency established legally and in compliance with regulations. It can protect the rights and interests of every monster. If you stay, we will protect you.” After thinking for a while, he added: “Food and accommodation are provided.”
“Is there such a good thing?” Jiu Ding’s eyes lit up at first, but then he became a little skeptical.
Jiang Lan nodded firmly: “It didn’t exist before, but it exists after you agreed.”
“…”
Jiu Ding looked hesitant and wavered in a very unsteady manner.
Over the years, he had been so worried about his original body and his fool brother that he had lived a hard life. He lived wherever his original body was buried, and he lived by the mountain and the water. Sometimes he didn’t eat if there was nothing to eat. He had to move every few decades or even hundreds of years, and he was homeless with no fixed place to live.
If he was really provided with food and shelter, and was allowed to keep the original body, then he would do it!
