Chapter 359
359 I declare war on you (2000)
Lan Xiao pursed his lips and looked at her coldly.
Immediately after, she pursed her lips and chuckled,”is that so? Zhenzhen.”
After Lan Xiao finished speaking, he didn’t say anything and didn’t give the woman a chance to react. He stepped forward and pushed the woman hard.
As Lan Xiao had pushed her so quickly, the woman didn’t even have time to react.
By the time she reacted, she had been pushed to the ground by Lan Xiao.
The marble floor was extremely hard. She fell hard on the ground, and her butt seemed to have broken into countless pieces.
Lan Xiao looked down at her with a slightly mocking gaze.
“There’s no such thing as an apology in my dictionary, Yingluo.”
The woman was stunned. Lan Xiao snorted and walked past her.
The woman was unconvinced and quickly got up from the ground. She quickly rubbed her sore butt and gritted her teeth as she shouted at Lan Xiao’s back.
“Lan Xiao, I heard that you have your own appraisal skills for stone gambling and antiques. Unfortunately, I also know a little about these convenient things. Why don’t we use today’s opportunity to compete?”
Lan Xiao stopped and turned to look at the woman.
“You want to compete with me? Compete in what?”
“Let’s compare the two paintings that are exactly the same. How about Shi Tao’s ‘min tour gifting farewell scroll of mountains and rivers’ asking us to each choose a painting and determine which one is the real one? Do you have the guts to bet?” The woman’s eyes were filled with confidence as she looked at Lan Xiao provocatively.
Their movements had already alerted the others.
Many people looked over.
Brother Jiang turned around and was slightly stunned when he saw the woman’s face.
Immediately after, he frowned slightly and quickly walked over. He grabbed the woman’s arm and asked in a low voice, ” “Why did you come to Ling city? Go back and take a walk.”
The woman frowned, shook off brother Jiang’s hand, and retreated a few steps away from him.
Then, she put on a flattering smile.
“Brother Jiang, I just want to see what this Lan Xiao is capable of. You don’t know this, but after my uncle went home yesterday, he was praising her a lot. I’m not convinced at all. That’s why I rushed to Ling city early this morning. I came here when I knew she would be here. This is a good opportunity. I must see what she’s capable of.”
Lan Xiao was slightly stunned. He raised his eyebrows and looked at brother Jiang and the woman.
Not only did this woman know brother Jiang, but who was the uncle she was talking about?
“You’re just messing around. With your status, you can’t stay in Ling city for long. If something happens, who can bear the responsibility?” Brother Jiang’s face was full of disapproval, and a sharp dark light flickered in the bottom of his eyes.
The woman pouted and hugged brother Jiang’s arm.
“Brother Jiang, just give me this one chance. I’ll listen to you and go back immediately after I’m done with her. If you don’t promise me, I won’t go back willingly. This is the first time I’ve met a woman who’s better at antiques than I am. I must see what she’s capable of. Besides, with you here to protect me, I’ll be fine. I’m very assured to leave my safety in your hands.”
Brother Jiang pursed his thin lips and his eyes were cold.
The woman smiled like a flower and winked at brother Jiang. Without waiting for brother Jiang to object, she immediately let go of brother Jiang and reached out to LAN Xin.
“My name is song Qiaoqiao. I’ve been interested in stone gambling, jewelry, and antiques since I was ten years old. All these years, I’ve never met a girl who’s better than me, so this time, I’ve come all the way here to declare war on you.”
Lan Xiao was slightly taken aback as he thought about the name song Qiaoqiao.
Song Qiaoqiao? Song Qiaoqiao?
Her heart couldn’t help but beat wildly.
After taking a closer look at song Qiaoqiao’s facial features, Lan Xiao quickly confirmed the woman’s identity.
There were four big families in the Jin capital, and the song family was one of them.
The four big families were in the S Empire’s capital, Jin Jing. They had taken root and multiplied, and their roots were deep and flourishing.
Every president who took over the throne or led the country was closely related to the four great families.
The four great families not only engaged in various business, but also participated in national politics.
They were equivalent to the State Council.
The head of each family had a certain amount of power and choice. If they were to unite, it was likely that they would take away the power of a country’s president.
And this song Qiaoqiao, oh no, it should be song Qiaoqiao.
She was the youngest daughter of the song family. She had loved collecting antiques since she was young. The song family’s jewelry business was almost all handed over to her to manage.
Song Qiaoqiao, who was only 18 years old, was already independent and involved in the family business.
Unfortunately, in her previous life, song Qiaoqiao passed away at the age of 23.
He was kidnapped by the XY organization and his stomach was cut open. At that time, he was already five months old.
The people from XY organization very cruelly took out the fetus that had already formed from her stomach. The dissection process was recorded in a video by the people of XY and uploaded to the internet.
That tragic scene shocked everyone in S Empire.
Lan Xiao suppressed his uncontrollable heartbeat and secretly sized up song Qiaoqiao.
In her previous life, she had never seen song Qiaoqiao. If it weren’t for that gory video of her being dissected, she wouldn’t have remembered this insignificant woman in her heart.
But now, she was looking at the woman who had died a horrible death in her previous life, standing in front of her.
Lan Xiao couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
Her face turned pale and she took a few steps back.
Brother Jiang frowned and held Lan Xiao’s arm worriedly. “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?”
Song Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows slightly and clapped her hands happily.”Yingluo, are you afraid? Ha Yingluo, as long as you admit defeat to me, I won’t compete with you. How about it? I’ll be kind and let you go.”
Lan Xiao looked at song Qiaoqiao with a complicated expression. Song Qiaoqiao was two years older than her, so she was already twenty years old.
Song Qiaoqiao died when she was 23.
Lan Xiao had never interacted with her before, but everyone said that the song family’s younger daughter was unruly, willful, hot-tempered, and cruel.
The eldest daughter of the song family had a good reputation. She was well-read, gentle, and virtuous.
In any case, the best words to describe a woman could be used on the eldest daughter of the song family.
Of the two daughters of the song family, one of them was praised to the heavens like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
The other was banished to hell, filled with evil.
Lan Xiao wasn’t too sure. What kind of woman was song Qiaoqiao?
She didn’t think he was cruel and merciless. Instead, he looked a little silly and sweet.
Song Qiaoqiao saw that Lan Xiao was in a daze, so she widened her eyes unhappily and glared at him.
“Hey, Yingluo, I’m talking to you. Why are you in a daze and ignoring me? If you have a problem with me, just say Yingluo.”
Lan Xiao blinked and was a little confused.
She said song Qiaoqiao was silly and sweet, but she was really silly.
