Union Of Enemies-Chapter 15

Translated by CatMeme6

Jia Shao looked at the bits of meat sticking on the face of the man in front of her and without feeling any guilt, she said. "Uh......I am truly sorry."

"It doesn't matter." The man was wiping his hands over his face in a flurry.

"I am leaving. I'm sorry I wasted your time today." She spurted out and choked on the words.

Damn this blind-date!!!

She had already eaten with a full stomach, why did she come on this blind-date?

Her stomach felt uncomfortable, her legs felt uncomfortable and her ankles felt even more uncomfortable!

"Miss Jia......" The man wiped his face and stood up in a hurry. "The match-making agency had said that if there is any request, I have to be frank with you. I have to be clear and concise. Do you mind?"

"No, I don't mind." In fact, all these did not concern her. Now, all she wants is to get out and take a breath of fresh air.

The man's eyes lit up. "I really want to continue dating you but you still have not answered my question yet."

"What answer?" Her tone did not sound good. "Before asking others, don't you think you should ask yourself first? What about you? Are you a virgin?"

"How can it be the same with men?" The man opposite her was stunned. "In this world, who requests for men to be virgins?"

"Do not do unto others, what you do not like done to yourself." Jia Shao snorted coldly. "Male chauvinist!"

There was no need for further conversation and Jia Shao's eyes swept towards the door. Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar figure.

Zhen Lang!!!

Instantly, she stood up and walked towards the door.

If she carries on with this and if Zhen Lang is to hear this man's question, it is afraid that she will once again be shamed in front of him.

"Miss Jia!" The man hastily said and tried to grab Jia Shao's hand. "Even if you are not a virgin, I don't mind. As long as you agreed to the surgery, I can even pay for it."

It was not known when the café's light music had stopped playing. The voice of the man who was unable to hold back echoed loudly throughout the cafe in the silence. Someone quietly stopped his movement and involuntarily swept his eyes over this side.

"Surgery your head!!!" With a quick neat twist, she avoided the man's hands and smoothly gave him a push. The man who had just stood up was unstable on his feet and was pushed back into the chair by her.

A bright silver color flashed and the knife on the table used for cutting steak flipped up into the air in a dazzling arc and then dropped straight down.

The man spread his legs and the knife landed upright between his thighs. The knife had stabbed into the chair and the cold blade was sticking just next to his pants. He could feel the coldness of the blade on his skin through the fabric of his pants and his hairs stood up.

"Come to 'Golden Sunflower' tomorrow to collect money for the chair!" Jia Shao tossed a few words to the waiter and left like a whirlwind through the door.

The man standing near the door half-covered his mouth with his fist and gently let out a cough. Then he followed leisurely behind her and walked out of the café.

As expected, Miss Jia Shao who was exquisitely dressed was standing on the roadside while her fingers were patting up and down over her body and she frowned. Looking at the car in front of her, Jia Shao could not help but stretched out her leg and gave it several kicks.

She had always detested carrying a handbag and usually, she would put her keys, cell phone and wallet in the pocket of her pants. But today, the dress she was wearing did not have any pockets. She only realized that her keys, cell phone, and wallet were left in the photo studio when she stood by the roadside to hail a taxi home.

Without money and without her cell phone.......does she really have to walk back home in her high-heeled shoes?

With Zhen Lang around, bad things always happen to her.

The car alarm let out loud sirens and the man standing behind her smiled faintly as he watched the pretty little lady wearing a tight little dress. Wearing the short tight dress, she could not exert too much force and could only throw several small kicks at the car to vent her anger.

When he pressed the remote control, the terrible sounds of the car alarm finally stopped. Jia Shao turned around and she had an angry expression on her face with flames burning in her eyes. "What are you doing here?!"

"My work is done and I wanted to come for a cup of coffee before going home. If I go home too early to face you, I will have the feeling that a day is like a year." Zhen Lang opened the car door. "I didn't expect that wherever I go I will meet you."

Self-consciously, Jia Shao opened the passenger side of the car door and sat in. "I will pay you for the fare."

Zhen Lang looked at her and then casually pressed a button to lock the door before smoothly reversing the car.

Sitting in the car, Jia Shao had a feeling of nausea. In the silence, only the sound of her rapid breathing could be heard.

"What's wrong? Is your stomach so full that you have difficulty in breathing?" The provocative remark made her even angrier.

"Stay away from me!" After shouting those words, then she remembered that at this moment, she was sitting in his car. She had to control herself and continued in a low voice. "Starting from tomorrow......"

He did not reply, instead, he pointed his index finger at the glove box in front of her and said. "Help me to take a look to see whether my driver's license is in there."

Reluctantly, she opened the glove box to do a rough search.

When she pulled open the glove box, she saw a box of yeast tablets and a packet of sour dates (jujube) lying inside, together with a bottle of unopened mineral water.

Her eyes lit up and she looked at them. "No!"

"Oh......" Zhen Lang looked at the front without giving it another thought.

Jia Shao carefully stretched out her hand and at the same time, she snuck a look at Zhen Lang. After confirming that he did not notice her action at all, she quickly grabbed the box with the yeast tablets and dug out two tablets. Quickly, she twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a mouthful of water to swallow the tablets. Then she tore open the packet of sour dates and tossed one into her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste of the sour dates instantly dispelled the greasy gas that lingered in her mouth. She waved the packet of sour dates at Zhen Lang and said. "Since you don't eat snacks and this is already opened, this is considered mine."

"Pay me."

"No money." Very smoothly, she threw the sour dates into her mouth and very conveniently forgot that she had promised to pay for the fare home just now.

Early the next morning, Jia Shao who usually lazes in bed made a rare move of getting up early in the morning because she clearly remembered the painful fact of leaving her wallet in the photo studio. Between the choice of borrowing money from her mother and taking a free ride in Zhen Lang's car, she intelligently chose the latter.

After all, she was not so stupid to make the choice of being bullied by her mother over bullying Zhen Lang.

She dilly-dallied until it was time to leave but she still did not see him and could not help but strained her neck to look in the direction of his closed door.

"Zhen Lang has gone out. He said he has an emergency surgery to perform and left in the middle of the night." Her mother looked at her with disdain. "Who is like you that sleeps like a pig? You don't even know when someone goes out!"

His door is closed, how is she to know?

Now the problem is who will send her to work since Zhen Lang is not here? Does she really have to borrow ten dollars from her mother and bear the brunt of her anger?

"That......Mom......." Jia Shao started to stammer and then suddenly she caught sight of a small black bag sitting on top of the shoe cabinet next to the door.

Ah......her wallet, keys and also her cell phone.

She bounced over and opened the bag to take a closer look.

It's right.......it is her bag!

However, she clearly remembered she had left it on the table in the photo studio. How come it is now at home?

"What is the matter?" Jia Mama asked in her loud voice.

She waved her hand and said. "Nothing, nothing." She ran out of the door and disappeared in a wisp of smoke, leaving Jia Mama standing at the door, shouting loudly. "Girl, your cousin sister urged me to go back. I am leaving tomorrow!"

Only the muffled sounds coming from the elevator responded to her.

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

"I gave it to Zhen Lang" Fang Qing Kui dug into the ice-cream and put it into her mouth. Biting the spoon, she replied. "Anyway, he is opposite and it is convenient to let him give it to you."

"Why didn't you give it to me personally?" Jia Shao pressed her fingers and the sounds of her knuckles cracking were heard. "You know I don't want to owe him any favors."

"So, do you want to owe someone a favor or do you want to walk home?" Fan Qing Kui threw her a sidelong glance and then lowered her head to continue digging into her ice-cream.

Jia Shao put on a charming expression and said. "Qing Qing, you could have sent it over to me and at the same time, send me home."

"Send you home?" Fang Qing Kui glared at her. "Yesterday, we had to work overtime and were extremely busy. You had also finished off our food making us all go hungry the whole night."

"Uh......." Jia Shao scratched her head in embarrassment. "Did you really work until so late? Then you could have waited for me to come back and send me home. Why did you have to ask him?"

"It did not cross my mind." Fang Qing Kui's concise and clear answer made Jia Shao speechless.

Throwing away the empty box, Fang Qing Kui was still somewhat dissatisfied. "Why not talk about yesterday's matter?"

"What is there to talk about?!" Jia Shao rolled her eyes. "Just by talking about meeting up with my nemesis, my unlucky star and nothing good will happen to me. Can you help me to get rid of him by just talking?"

"Actually......" Fang Qing Kui's voice paused. "It is not impossible......."

Instantly, Jia Shao's eyes flashed. "Really?"

"You can try." Fang Qing Kui squinted her eyes and smiled. "It is better than not being able to get married."

"How?!" Jia Shao almost pounced into Fang Qing Kui's arms. "Qing Qing, quick tell me......"

Looking at Jia Shao's hands holding her hand, Fang Qing Kui's big eyes fluttered, full of innocence and laughingly said. "Aren't you more familiar with him than I am?"

Familiar, of course, she is familiar......but does this man, Zhen Lang have any weakness?

"Tell me, do you think it is possible for me to knock him unconscious and lock him up? Anyway, my mom is leaving tomorrow." Jia Shao was a bit whimsical. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

"Well, for that one time your blind-date was unsuccessful, do you have to knock him unconscious every time?" Fang Qing Kui scoffed at her and expressed her disdain.

It seems Fang Qing Kui is right but then what should she do?

Patting the hand that was firmly holding onto her hand, Fang Qing Kui said with a sigh. "Deal with him the same way you deal with me. It can't be wrong."

Deal with him the same way I deal with her?

Can it be.......

Jia Shao looked at her own hands holding Fang Qing Kui's hand and her expression began to twitch. "You.....are you telling me to fawn over Zhen Lang?"

"No harm in trying." Fang Qing Kui pulled her hand away from Jia Shao's grasp and stood up.

"Getting on the good side of someone is always better and it should not be wrong." 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

She is telling........telling her to fawn over Zhen Lang?

This is simply a shocking suggestion!!!

Then she received even more shocking news.

When Jia Shao had sent her old mother, the Empress Dowager off on her journey home, and while she was packing to return to her own nest on the same day, she received news from her landlord. The building that she has been staying for the last two years was earmarked for......demolition.

Overnight, she had tragically become a homeless person.

Stay with Fang Qing Kui? It seems that person is staying with her parents and grandparents.

Then......

She stood in front of the high-class community gate for a moment before she walked in, devoid of any more fighting spirit.

Anyway, she had already stayed here for so long, so it should not matter if she stays a bit longer, right?
