Chapter 154: Chapter 0154: Slap You, But You Must Smile
Upon hearing Qin Rumeng’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate nose twitched uncontrollably.
She had seen arrogant people, but she had never seen anyone as arrogant as Qin Rumeng—this was her territory, and as the saying goes, "My turf, my rules," but for Qin Rumeng it was more like, "Your turf, but I call the shots!"
Following them, Qin Muge quickly stepped forward upon seeing that Qin Rumeng and Qiu Ruoxi were about to clash!
"President Qiu, Auntie, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry!"
As she spoke, Qin Muge gave Qiu Ruoxi a look, signaling her not to argue with Qin Rumeng.
Then, with a sycophantic smile on her face, Qin Muge said, "Auntie, what are you planning to use these items for?"
"To redecorate the office!" Qin Rumeng coldly replied, "It’s none of your business; step aside, or don’t blame me for embarrassing you later!"
"Auntie..."
"Go stand over there!" Qin Rumeng said with an unfriendly look, "Considering that you called me auntie, I won’t hold it against you. But if you dare to hinder me on her behalf again in front of me, you will suffer—don’t claim I’m bullying the young afterwards!"
Upon hearing Qin Rumeng’s words, Qin Muge’s face was filled with unprecedented bitterness.
She felt like the filling squeezed between two slices of bread—Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Rumeng being the bread—trapping her in the middle, incredibly suffocating.
If she didn’t take action, she felt somewhat sorry for Qiu Ruoxi who had treated her well; if she intervened, yet Qin Rumeng was out to get her.
Upon hearing Qin Rumeng call her an old hag, Qiu Ruoxi’s expression slightly changed, "What did you just call me?"
"What did I say?"
As she spoke, a flash of realization crossed Qin Rumeng’s face: "Oh, old hag?"
"You..."
"But are you an old hag?" Qin Rumeng retorted fiercely, "I’ve lived almost thirty years and heard about people finding money but never about someone picking up scolding like an old hag!"
"Say that again if you dare!"
"Old hag, old hag, old hag!" Qin Rumeng said with a cheeky expression, "Here, two more for you, old hag!"
"You... you..." Qiu Ruoxi trembled with rage, her bosom heaving intensely with the tremors of Saintess Peak, seemingly bursting forth: "Kick her out, out..."
"Ma Yingjun, cripple anyone who comes over, I’ll take the responsibility."
Ma Yingjun’s face was filled with agony, now he finally understood why his brother decided not to show up; this job was certain not for humans, as neither of these ladies was easy to serve.
Ma Yingjun didn’t know who Qin Rumeng was, but he did know his brother was afraid of her. However, he knew exactly who Qiu Ruoxi was.
She was absolutely a star of the business world, the dream wife of countless men, with hordes of them chasing after her.
Now here they were, on the brink of a physical confrontation, and from the looks of it, it wasn’t going to be hard, but the problem was Qin Rumeng asked him to intervene.
This was a setup for disaster, wasn’t it?
Qiu Ruoxi was the president of the Royale Consortium with countless powerful men chasing her—offending her would just lay out a red carpet for the chasers to curry favor with her.
But now that Qin Rumeng had spoken, he had no choice but to brave it, hoping that when real trouble arose, she would actually be able to protect him.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned exceptionally eerie; the men Ma Yingjun brought with him looked menacing, while Qiu Ruoxi’s company security showed no signs of weakness.
It could be said, the confrontation between the two sides was on the brink of exploding.
"What are you all staring at?" Qiu Ruoxi roared, "Get out!"
"No one lay a hand on anyone!" Qin Muge hastily said.
As her words fell, Qin Muge hurriedly said to Qiu Ruoxi, "Director Qiu, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, impulsiveness is the devil!"
After Qin Muge’s repeated pleading, Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, her heart unwilling as she fiercely glared at Qin Rumeng, as if to say, I’m letting this go only for Qin Muge’s sake.
But the next moment, Qin Rumeng said, "Right, don’t be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, and it comes with a heavy cost, and getting angry can cause great harm to your health, disrupt your hormonal balance, and bring on menopause early..."
Barely suppressing her anger at Qin Rumeng’s words, Qiu Ruoxi exploded again, "Dare to say that to me one more time..."
"Look at you, completely out of balance, a classic case of hormonal disorder, go find a man..." Qin Rumeng said with disdain, "But looking like that, who would want you? Even if they did, it would only be for fun, and once bored, they’d kick you away..."
"You... you..."
"Auntie, I’m begging you, please stop, okay?" Qin Muge said with a pleading look at Qin Rumeng, "Do whatever you want, we promise not to stop you!"
Saying this, Qin Muge dragged Qiu Ruoxi to the side.
"Qin Rumeng, I’m not done with you today, you shrew..."
"Who’s the shrew talking about?"
"The shrew’s talking about you!" Qiu Ruoxi, nearly bursting with anger at Qin Rumeng, blurted out without thinking.
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Qin Rumeng suddenly laughed, "So, you admit you’re the shrew!"
Only then did Qiu Ruoxi realize she had fallen into Qin Rumeng’s trap, and her face immediately darkened as if it could drip water, "You..."
"Director Qiu, could you please say less, just say less..."
As he spoke, Qin Muge forcefully dragged Qiu Ruoxi aside, while turning his head to say, "No one is allowed to stop my aunt, whoever dares to stop her, pack your things and leave tomorrow!"
"Whoever dares to let her in, I will fire you tomorrow..." Although Qiu Ruoxi struggled, she still shouted out.
Finally, Qin Muge managed to pull Qiu Ruoxi into a corner.
"Qiu Ruoxi, do you really want to ruin the Royalty Group yourself?" Qin Muge said with a grim face, "Fighting with her, isn’t this suicidal?"
"She has gone too far, even if Royalty Group is to change hands, I would never hand it over to her!"
"You won’t give it to her? Let me tell you, just at her word, no one in Huaxia would dare to take over this mess from you," Qin Muge said emphatically. "Her, neither you nor I can afford to provoke!"
"Can’t you bear it without dieing?" At first, you were ambitious. If it wasn’t for your ambition, do you think I would have come here?" Qin Muge said seriously. "Right now, you are just digging your own grave!"
"And if you keep arguing with her, by tomorrow, you might make the headlines of major newspapers, while Qin Rumeng won’t care, because no one knows her true identity, no one knows she’s the real owner of the Splendor Group, she can totally be indifferent, but what about you?"
"What about the Royalty Group?"
"What does that imply?" Qin Muge said word by word. "A company’s image depends on the image of its CEO. You call her a shrew, but what does your current appearance suggest?"
"She has gone too far!"
"If you had her means, you could act the same!" Qin Muge took a deep breath. "We’ve been in this circle not just for a day or two, by now we should know, there are some people we just can’t afford to offend!"
"Even if someone slaps you, you should smile!"
