Chapter 15: Chapter 0015: Standing Someone Up
Lin Dongqiang was ruthless and bold. Any man who dared to get close to Shen Qian would end up in a bad way, either with a broken arm or a broken leg.
That's why Shen Qian hadn't had a boyfriend for all these years.
It was precisely because of Lin Dongqiang's harassment that Shen Qian wanted to find a special forces boyfriend.
Lin Dongqiang was followed by several young men dressed in gray Zhongshan suits, and the group marched menacingly towards Table Seven.
Noticing the tense atmosphere, many customers quickly paid their bills and left.
Qin Yu sensed the murderous intent, but his expression remained calm as he leisurely took out a box of toothpicks and poured several toothpicks from it.
The moment Lin Dongqiang saw Shen Qian's attire, his eyes turned green with jealousy!
Shen Qian usually dressed conservatively, but today she had chosen such a tempting outfit!
Was she trying to seduce this pretty boy?
This pretty boy deserved to die!
When Lin Dongqiang was three meters away from Table Seven, Shen Qian saw him, and she felt a chill rise from her heels to her spine!
Was Lin Dongqiang a ghost?
How could she run into him everywhere?
"Lin Dongqiang, what are you doing here?" Shen Qian asked in utter astonishment.
"I'm here to catch a cheater."
Seeing the collarbone revealed by Shen Qian's attire, Lin Dongqiang felt like his lungs would explode with anger!
That pretty boy actually got to see his Qianqian's collarbone!
He must gouge out his eyeballs!
"Catch your sister's cheater? What right do you have to catch a cheater? I've made it very clear to you! I don't acknowledge that so-called 'child betrothal', and it's absolutely impossible between us!"
Shen Qian was nearly enraged to death; Lin Dongqiang was utterly impossible to communicate with!
Lin Dongqiang glared at Qin Yu and asked coldly, "Qianqian, are you rejecting me because of this pretty boy? How is he better than me?"
"Yes, I'm rejecting you for Qin Yu! He's better than you in every way! I spent last night with him!"
Shen Qian decided to give Lin Dongqiang a heavy dose of reality to dissuade him, speaking without restraint.
Lin Dongqiang narrowed his eyes. According to his underling's report, Shen Qian indeed hadn't returned to her own apartment last night. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would have already been chopped into pieces by Lin Dongqiang!
Lin Dongqiang's lackeys also glared at Qin Yu with fierce eyes, ready to chop him to death at their boss's command.
Lin Dongqiang flicked his cigarette, tossing the butt onto the steak in front of Qin Yu, and asked with a mocking face, "Kid, is what Qianqian said true?"
Qin Yu looked up at Shen Qian, who had a pleading look in her eyes.
Qin Yu was annoyed; it looked like he had become her shield!
But he didn't want to be just a shield!
He wanted to be Shen Qian's man, fair and square!
Qin Yu shook his head. "Miss Shen is lying; this is our first meeting today."
"Hahaha, kid, you know what's good for you. I'll acknowledge you as a friend! If you ever run into trouble in Luo City, just drop my name, Lin Dongqiang, and it'll be useful!"
Lin Dongqiang was in high spirits, patting Qin Yu's shoulder forcefully—he liked people who knew their place.
Shen Qian was utterly despondent.
Damn it!
This is a special forces soldier?
And a special forces instructor at that?
Is a special forces instructor so weak-kneed?
It looked like she was going to be forcibly taken away by Lin Dongqiang today.
Shen Qian knew that Lin Dongqiang's patience with her had reached its limit, and he would probably resort to force.
Just as Shen Qian was feeling hopeless, Qin Yu brushed away Lin Dongqiang's hand from his shoulder with disgust, as if something dirty was on it, and wiped his shoulder with a wet towel.
"Friend? How come I don't know I have such a worthless friend?"
Huh? Qin Yu's words had everyone completely baffled!
Joy appeared on Shen Qian's face—great, Mr. Qin was no pushover!
She was saved!
Lin Dongqiang looked at Qin Yu with disbelief, unable to accept what he had heard.
In Luo City, there were countless people who wanted to be friends with Manager Lin, but this kid actually had the nerve to show such disrespect!
Especially after he saw Qin Yu throw the wet wipe into the trash with a look of disgust, Lin Dongqiang felt like he had suffered a great humiliation!
However, Lin Dongqiang didn't go berserk right then and there. These past two years he hadn't just been messing around; he had attended many high-end banquets with Master Qu Er.
There, Lin Dongqiang had seen many impressive big shots!
From these big shots, Lin Dongqiang felt an oppressive aura that weighed heavily on him.
In Qin Yu, Lin Dongqiang also felt this kind of aura, which meant that Qin Yu wasn't just a pretty face; he must have had many lives in his hands!
"A mighty dragon does not oppress the local snake. This is a matter for the Lin family, I kindly ask Mr. Qin not to get involved," Lin Dongqiang said with a hint of weakness.
But Qin Yu was not about to give him that satisfaction.
Shen Qian was destined to be his woman, Qin Yu's. How could it be merely a family affair for Lin Dongqiang?
Qin Yu said indifferently, "Since it's your family matter, I won't interfere with your affairs with Shen Qian."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian fell into complete despair!
How could this happen?
Qin Yu had just shown Lin Dongqiang such blatant disregard, and Shen Qian thought he was going to take a stand for her!
Lin Dongqiang was overjoyed and bowed his hands, "I'll remember your kindness, Mr. Qin, and will surely visit to express my thanks another day."
Qin Yu raised his index finger and gave it a light shake, "Mr. Lin, let's not be in a hurry to express thanks, shall we? Apologize first. Your cigarette ash dirtied my favorite filet mignon steak, ruining my good mood while enjoying my meal. Apologize right now, immediately, and get me a new steak. And while you're at it, take care of the bill, and then get out. Perhaps, I might forgive your rudeness."
Everyday, Shen Qian's emotions were like a roller coaster!
They soared from the lowest valleys back up to the highest peaks in an instant!
For some reason, Qin Yu looked more and more handsome in her eyes!
He was just about irresistible!
Lin Dongqiang was so choked by Qin Yu's words that he couldn't muster a response!
One of Lin Dongqiang's lackeys pointed at Qin Yu's nose and cursed furiously, "Fuck your mother, think you're too good for face, huh? Believe it or not, I can fucking kill you?"
Qin Yu wiped his mouth leisurely, stood up slowly, and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Fighting is my forte, so, you know, to save time, you should all come at me at once."
Qin Yu's words completely enraged Lin Dongqiang, who waved his hand grandly as his bodyguards and lackeys pulled out their rubber clubs!
They howled and charged towards Qin Yu!
With just a wave of his hand, the sound of cutting through the air could be heard.
Pu pu pu...
Clang! Clang! The sound of things dropping to the ground!
This scene made Lin Dongqiang's legs go weak. What had he just witnessed?
His bodyguards and lackeys were all grimacing in pain, clutching their wrists, each of which had a toothpick embedded in it without exception!
"Fine, you're ruthless! We're out of here!"
After leaving these harsh words, Lin Dongqiang led his gang to flee in a panic!
Shen Qian was ecstatic!
Xiao Xi had done her a great service by finding her such a good man, who was not only handsome but could also fight!
She would no longer fear Lin Dongqiang's harassment!
Trying to suppress her excitement, Shen Qian said, "Mr. Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let's go sing!"
At the thought of singing, which would surely involve drinking, and taking advantage of the slightly tipsy state to get things done, Qin Yu instinctively wanted to agree. But just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw a text message.
"I am Su Ziyan, waiting for you at the Uptown Coffee Shop on Heshan Road."
Qin Yu was torn. Su Ziyan was the first woman he'd met since being discharged from the military, and Shen Qian was also a beauty.
After much deliberation, Qin Yu decided to accept Su Ziyan's invitation; after all, he had taken her first time, and he should take responsibility.
"Miss Shen, I have some things to take care of. Let's make a date some other time."
Having said that, Qin Yu didn't dare to look at Shen Qian's aggrieved gaze and quickly walked away.
Shen Qian watched Qin Yu's departing figure in a daze. How could she believe what was happening before her eyes? Was Shen Qian being stood up again?
