Shen Youjin didn't expect to see Shen Qilin again so soon. Looking at his red hair and the tattoos creeping up his neck, she could hardly contain her disgust.
"I'm warning you, stay away from Qiuqiu!"
"My dear sister, there's no need to be so cautious, is there?" Shen Qilin laughed nonchalantly at her. "I remember you two have already fallen out. Why are you here pretending to be a good person now?"
Shen Youjin's face twitched slightly. She stepped in front of Ling Qiuqiu. "My business is none of your concern. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to cause her any trouble."
She had thought that after Shen Qilin had been abroad for so long, he must have slept with countless women and would no longer pay attention to Ling Qiuqiu. Who would have thought that this brute would come looking for Ling Qiuqiu as soon as he got back?
Thank goodness she had come today. Otherwise, God knows what Shen Qilin would have done.
After saying that, she immediately called over the bodyguards. Five bodyguards stood behind her in formation, looking like solid barriers, exuding a sense of security.
"Humph!" Shen Qilin spat out his chewing gum, his eyes turning sinister. "Shen Youjin, just because I call you sister, you really think you're my sister? Have you forgotten how I used to deal with you? Do you need me to jog your memory?"
Shen Youjin frowned tightly. How could she forget?
Back then, Shen Qilin had run amok. He had openly declared in the capital that no company was allowed to hire her.
If it hadn't been for that, how could she have almost ended up on the streets?
"I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter who says what!"
"Really?" Shen Qilin sneered. "Then I'd like to see what makes you think you can protect her."
With that, he waved his hand, and the hooligans he had brought with him immediately lit up with excitement and stepped forward one by one.
"I've long heard that Brother Lin has a beautiful sister. Now that I see her, she's really something!"
"Those breasts, that waist. Tsk tsk, it must be so good."
"Don't worry, we're all very gentle. As long as you accompany us well, there'll be plenty for you to enjoy."
"..."
Hearing their vulgar remarks, Shen Youjin instinctively looked at Ling Qiuqiu.
Ling Qiuqiu had protected her so many times in the past. Now it was her turn to protect Ling Qiuqiu.
"Break their hands," she turned to the five bodyguards. "I'll cover the medical expenses!"
With her order, the bodyguards behind her no longer hesitated. One punch knocked out one of the hooligans, and the two sides immediately got into a scuffle.
Afraid of being accidentally hurt, Shen Youjin was about to persuade Ling Qiuqiu to go back when Shen Qilin appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way.
"What are you afraid of? It's just the two of you and me." He looked at Ling Qiuqiu with a lewd and disgusting look in his eyes. "Can't we just catch up? My white moonlight."
For the first time, Shen Youjin felt that the term "white moonlight" had been tainted.
"I have nothing to catch up with you about. If you're smart, you'll get out of here right now!" Ling Qiuqiu's face was equally ugly. "Don't force me to call the police!"
"Then call the police! Given the current state of your Ling family, do you think you can play with me?" Shen Qilin gave a devilish smile. "I just saw you. Instead of being with an old man, why don't you come with me? At least when I'm done with you, I won't give you any trouble, right?"
Ling Qiuqiu bit her lip. After her family's downfall, it seemed that every brute could come and step on her.
Just as she was about to figure out a way to get rid of Shen Qilin, a loud and clear slap suddenly rang out, deafening.
Shen Youjin's palm went numb from the impact. The other person's whole head was whipped to the side. When he turned back, Shen Qilin's eyes were almost spitting fire.
"Damn it, you little bitch, how dare you hit me? Have you forgotten how you begged me back then? I'm telling you, your mother deserved to die! A slut like your mother should have been..."
It was all because of this little bitch that he had been forced to stay abroad for so long.
Now that he had run into her here, he was going to teach her a good lesson.
He raised his hand. Just as it was about to land on Shen Youjin's face, a slender hand grabbed his raised arm at an unimaginable speed and gave him a shoulder throw.
"Shen Qilin, am I being too nice to you?"
Shen Qilin let out a scream. He looked at Ling Qiuqiu in disbelief, who had suddenly stepped in.
What was going on? Weren't they supposed to have fallen out?
But before he could get up, Ling Qiuqiu had already started punching and kicking him, hitting him right in the vital spots.
Even the hooligans who were being beaten up by the bodyguards in the distance were startled by Shen Qilin's state. He looked so miserable, even more so than them!
Especially when she grabbed Shen Qilin's hair and yanked it hard, they felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
"Tell your men to stop right now, and don't let me see you again! Do you hear me?"
Ling Qiuqiu stepped on Shen Qilin's crotch. As long as he dared to resist, she would turn into a "pearl-popping queen" and give him a physical purification.
Damn it, she had been holding back her anger towards Chen Rubin just now. Now, she couldn't stand Shen Qilin for a single second!
Shen Qilin's eyes were red with anger, but he didn't dare to refute. He could only tell his men to stop immediately.
Seeing that he had backed down, Ling Qiuqiu slowly lifted her foot.
Shen Qilin finally got up from the ground, but he had long lost the imposing manner he had when he first arrived. All that was left was a raging fire.
"Ling Qiuqiu, don't think that just because you're protecting her, she'll be grateful to you. Do you know that back then, in order to cut ties with you, she was willing to kneel to me rather than say another word to you?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as the words came out, Ling Qiuqiu's eyes were filled with shock.
"Shen Youjin, you kneeled to this bastard?"
Such a proud person, kneeling to Shen Qilin? Ling Qiuqiu's fingers, balled into fists, almost dug into her flesh.
Shen Youjin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her voice was barely audible. "No, I didn't kneel."
Shen Qilin scoffed. "You didn't kneel? Did I have a hallucination? Stop pretending! You're just a heartless ingrate!"
Shen Youjin said nothing. If she had the chance, she would definitely tear Shen Qilin's mouth apart!
"Brother Lin, do you want me to call some more brothers?"
A few bruised and swollen men returned to Shen Qilin's side, egging him on to start another fight.
Shen Qilin didn't bother to answer. He just waved his hand and told them to get lost, his eyes fixed on Shen Youjin and Ling Qiuqiu.
"Ling Qiuqiu, do you really know this woman? She only got close to you back then because your status could protect her. Now that your Ling family has fallen, do you think she'll still be your friend? Once she's squeezed out every last bit of value from you, she'll abandon you! Just you wait and see!"
With that, he led his group of hooligans away without looking back.
Shen Youjin stood there. Only after he had walked far away did she finally look at Ling Qiuqiu.
"Do you believe..."
"Why did you kneel to him?"
The two spoke at the same time. Shen Youjin was slightly taken aback, then stubbornly said, "I didn't. He's lying!"
Ling Qiuqiu stepped closer to her. Her well-defined face was right in front of her, beautiful and sassy.
"Shen Youjin! I'm asking you for the reason, not the result!"
