Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.
Chapter 25 Interlocking Fingers
Lin Qian casually put down her wine glass, the bottom of the glass making a soft "snap" sound on the table.
She looked at her with the same indifferent gaze, a half-smile playing on her lips, "What is it?"
Lin Qian recognized the woman with exquisite makeup in front of her—Xu Feier.
Xu Feier was also from No. 1 Middle School back then, in the class next door.
She, Ye Miaomiao, and Xia Tingshi are the best of friends, known as the Three Sisters of No. 1 Middle School.
It was right after school, and Lin Qian was locked in the classroom, which was stuffy and humid.
Xia Tingshi always maintains a noble, elegant, and innocent demeanor. She doesn't need to do anything; people will willingly become her tools and act on her behalf.
Xu Feier was the most enthusiastic one among them. She carried a Starbucks cup and poured it on Lin Qian without hesitation.
The cold, brown coffee left a deep stain on the blue and white school uniform.
She covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes curving into wicked crescent shapes. "Lin Qian, you've never had Starbucks before, right? Don't worry, I'll treat you to one today, remember to say thank you~"
Back then, Lin Qian always kept her head down in humility, bullied to the point of not daring to fight back. She could only clutch her clothes tightly, letting tears well up in her eyes.
But now, she openly raises her chin, calmly scrutinizing the other person's every move, as if watching a ridiculous performance.
Xu Feier felt inexplicably uneasy under his gaze, but she quickly regained her haughty demeanor.
"Stop pretending. Were you deliberately targeting Ye Miaomiao at the class reunion?"
Lin Qian leaned back calmly in her chair, her fingertips tracing the wine glass, and smiled:
"Yeah, so what? Are you going to call the police?"
Xu Feier thought Lin Qian would be angry, break down, or even feel wronged and want to cry—just like in high school. But to her utter surprise, Lin Qian just casually asked a question.
It's like punching cotton, making you even more annoyed!
"What a shameless slut," Xu Feier gritted her teeth. "You're sitting here drinking all by yourself, are you trying to hook up with some rich old man? I heard you're even trying to seduce Lu Beiting now, how dare you!"
Even though Lin Qian is now thinner and prettier than before.
Lu Beiting would definitely not be interested in a woman like her!
At this moment, Xia Tingshi, holding Xu Feier's arm, looked innocent and aggrieved.
"Qianqian, you wouldn't be trying to steal Beiting from me, would you? Your mother already fought with my mother for a man once, why do you want to fight me again..."
These words were like a poisoned needle, precisely piercing Lin Qian's most painful wound.
Lin Qian's smile gradually faded, and her expression became increasingly calm.
Her mother, Lin Shuyao, was once pursued intensely by Xia Jichuan and later became pregnant out of wedlock.
But at that moment, Xia Jichuan's childhood sweetheart ran over and slapped Lin Shuyao twice without any mercy.
"I grew up with Ji Chuan, who do you think you are? His family would never agree to you marrying into the family."
For the sake of his career, Xia Jichuan did not hesitate to choose his childhood sweetheart from a prominent family, and immediately abandoned Lin Shuyao, even fabricating a story that Lin Shuyao was a slut who seduced him.
Lin Shuyao was heartbroken and died of heart disease a few years after giving birth to Lin Qian.
Xia Tingshi is the daughter of Qingmei and Xia Jichuan. She has been instilled with the idea that "Lin Shuyao seduced her father" since she was a child, so she naturally hates her daughter Lin Qian to the core.
Xia Tingshi was rich and beautiful in high school, and always appeared kind and innocent, so everyone was naturally more willing to believe her.
"Robbery? What do you mean by robbery?" Lin Qian stood up and stared at her. "Is it your stuff?"
Xu Feier couldn't help but laugh mockingly, shaking Xia Tingshi's arm, "Sister Shishi, how could a thief admit to being a thief? If you ask me, it's because a slut's daughter is a slut too—"
But he hadn't finished speaking.
Lin Qian immediately picked up her wine glass and swiftly and decisively splashed it at Xu Feier, her movements so fast that no one had time to react.
"ah!!!"
This was followed by a woman's piercing scream.
The red wine was precisely poured onto Xu Feier's head, dripping down her carefully styled bangs.
There was also a small piece of mint stuck right on Xu Feier's forehead, making it look particularly funny!
Even Xia Tingshi was inevitably splashed with a large portion of the liquid.
An expensive Chanel dress was instantly soaked, turning an elegant white swan into a disheveled, drenched mess.
Some of the surrounding customers were shocked, staring in disbelief, while others secretly took out their phones to record the scene.
Xu Feier was equally dumbfounded, unable to believe that Lin Qian dared to defy her.
She was trembling with anger, pointing her index finger at Lin Qian, "How dare you splash me!"
"How can you call it spilling?" Lin Qian casually put down her wine glass, took out a tissue, and slowly wiped her hands. "I was clearly inviting you to drink, so remember to say thank you."
This statement is almost identical to what Xu Feier said when she threw Starbucks at her back then.
Clearly, only the victim would hold a grudge about such a thing, while the perpetrator, Xu Feier, had long forgotten about it.
She was so angry she was about to go crazy, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush up and fight Lin Qian.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today on behalf of Sister Shishi!"
Who knew what would happen next?
"What are you doing?" The man's warning voice suddenly rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, all three women present were stunned.
Lin Qian subconsciously turned her head away.
Lu Beiting's angular face was clearly visible under the neon lights.
He wore a black shirt with the top two buttons casually undone, exuding an air of refined nonchalance, yet his presence was undeniable.
Lin Qian paused for a few seconds.
Lu Beiting... what is he doing here?
On the contrary.
Xia Tingshi's eyes lit up with surprise when she saw Lu Beiting.
It was actually Lu Beiting! It really was Lu Beiting!
He arrived so quickly in just ten minutes, was it because he was worried she was drunk?
It turns out that Brother Beiting really treated her differently; he truly had her in his heart.
Xia Tingshi's heart pounded, and a wave of sweetness surged within her.
She gently rubbed her chest, her voice soft and weak, with a perfectly timed sob:
"Brother Beiting, thank you for coming to help me... I'm a little drunk, and I feel really unwell..."
Lu Beiting's gaze remained fixed on Lin Qian, and he asked without much emotion, "What happened?"
Xu Feier spoke first, looking aggrieved: "Shishi and I just wanted to say hello to Lin Qian, and she inexplicably splashed water on us!"
"Yes," Xia Tingshi's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in her eyes, "Lin Qian, I just wanted to catch up with you, I don't know why you treated me like this..."
Faced with the two people's distortion of the truth.
Lin Qian was prepared. She calmly took out her phone from her bag and started recording.
The voices of Xu Feier and Xia Tingshi soon came through the recording:
"—What a shameless woman! Sitting here drinking alone, are you trying to hook up with some rich old man? I heard you're even trying to seduce Lu Beiting now, how dare you!"
"Lin Qian, why are you still trying to take it from me..."
After the recording finished playing, an eerie silence fell over this corner of the bar.
Xu Feier was completely stunned, never expecting that Lin Qian had actually kept a backup plan.
Her face turned pale and then flushed, a truly fascinating sight.
Lin Qian said calmly, "Is this what you call a greeting? Catching up? You deserved it if I splashed you."
Xia Tingshi's eyes reddened even more. She took small steps closer to Lu Beiting, her voice even more innocent:
"Brother Beiting, look at her..."
Lu Beiting was indeed looking at Lin Qian.
A smile played in his eyes as he praised, "Yes, I saw it, it was splashed quite well."
Xia Tingshi: "?"
Xu Feier: "?"
The two of them were instantly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Beiting would actually defend Lin Qian.
What I didn't expect was that Lu Beiting would look at Lin Qian with such doting affection. How could she be worthy of him?
Xia Tingshi choked up, her voice trembling, "Brother Beiting..."
But Lu Beiting completely ignored her, and sat down next to Lin Qian, asking:
"Why are you drinking here all alone? Do you want me to keep you company?"
Lin Qian certainly knew how to provoke Xia Tingshi.
She met Lu Beiting's burning gaze and nodded happily, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Beiting smiled pleasingly and naturally took Lin Qian's hand.
They stood there so openly, their fingers intertwined, on the table, as if silently declaring something.
Lin Qian hesitated, suppressing the urge to pull her hand back, and stubbornly refused.
Even through the air, you could feel Xia Tingshi's gaze, which was practically spitting fire.
Lin Qian smiled slightly and asked, "Do you two have anything else to say? If not, please don't bother us."
