Chapter 219: Jiang Baobao's methods are very domineering

Jiang Baobao was also somewhat speechless and amused, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She spoke up with some curiosity: "I have met Li Xiao... he..."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she suddenly faltered; thinking carefully, her understanding of Li Xiao was indeed not very deep, and she could not make an accurate assessment.

She then added with concern: "Anyway, if you don't like him, no one can force you, but you left him behind and walked away... aren't you afraid he'll complain to your brother when you go back? You'll get scolded again?"

"Let him do as he pleases!" Cai Xiaotang said dismissively, not taking the matter to heart at all, and continued unhurriedly: "If my brother really comes looking for me, I'll just tell him straight out that I think he's too old! And neurotic! Besides, he is already in his thirties! I am still a youthful, beautiful girl in my twenties!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao could not help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at? Am I not?" Cai Xiaotang looked at Jiang Baobao, pretending to be angry.

Jiang Baobao immediately replied: "Yes, yes, yes! You are still a beautiful girl! After all, you just turned twenty-four this year!"

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao could not help but tease herself: "Unlike me, I'm already twenty-six, almost twenty-seven; rounding up, I'm practically thirty..."

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly interrupted: "Who says? Can a fairy like you be compared to that kind of stinking man?"

Jiang Baobao could not hold back and laughed again, and Cai Xiaotang's mood immediately improved along with her.

The two were chatting and laughing, and before long, the food they ordered was delivered by the waiter.

Cai Xiaotang took a bite unhurriedly, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"This is what a lunch should feel like! I really don't know what's so good about things like steak, and it's so expensive too!"

She kept complaining, and Jiang Baobao chimed in from time to time; the two of them soon wiped the table clean of the dishes.

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Cai Xiaotang finally asked with satisfaction: "Are you still busy this afternoon? If not, why don't we go shopping?"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao shook her head with regret: "I still have to go back to the Team this afternoon, they..."

As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently glanced out the window, and her expression suddenly stiffened.

Seeing that her expression was off, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly followed her gaze, and then could not help but frown as well.

They saw three familiar people standing at the entrance of the private clinic across from the restaurant.

"Baobao, isn't that your uncle and grandmother, along with that idiot Lu Qing'er?"

Cai Xiaotang asked subconsciously.

Jiang Baobao nodded, but her eyes remained fixed on the clinic across the street.

Why were the three of them here?

How could Lu Qing'er be with her uncle and grandmother?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, the next second, she saw Lu Qing'er suddenly raise the bag in her hand and strike Jiang Chenghao hard!

"Damn! What is she doing!"

Cai Xiaotang stood up from her chair with a start!

Jiang Baobao also grabbed her bag and ran toward the restaurant entrance with long strides.

Cai Xiaotang also grabbed her bag, quickly paid the bill, and ran out with long strides.

Jiang Baobao had already reached the other side of the road.

Old Mrs. Jiang had already blocked Jiang Chenghao behind her.

But Lu Qing'er was relentless and still wanted to use the bag in her hand to hit Jiang Chenghao!

"Lu Qing'er!!!"

Jiang Baobao shouted angrily, ran over in two steps, shielded both Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Chenghao behind her, and glared at the person in front of her.

"Ugh... hurt... bad person!"

Jiang Chenghao muttered in a low voice, reaching out to grab Jiang Baobao's wrist.

Jiang Baobao felt a pang of heartache instantly.

Lu Qing'er was also stunned, not expecting to run into Jiang Baobao here.

Then, a sneer appeared on her face.

She hadn't even gone to look for trouble with this bitch, yet she had delivered herself to her doorstep!

"Tsk, this fool just tore my clothes; is there a problem with me teaching him a lesson?"

Lu Qing'er's tone was aggressive, and the way she looked at Jiang Baobao made her want to tear her to shreds.

Jiang Baobao was startled upon hearing this and quickly scanned Lu Qing'er's body.

Only then did she see that a piece of the original decoration on her sleeve was indeed missing.

It had originally been a small patch of sparkling crushed diamonds; presumably, Jiang Chenghao thought it looked fun and reached out to pull it, not expecting to tear it.

"Just because he tore your clothes, you can beat people in the street?"

Jiang Baobao retorted sharply.

"Yes, even a child knows that if you do something wrong, you have to accept punishment, let alone a grown man like this? Who knows if he did it on purpose, trying to take advantage of me?"

Lu Qing'er asked with raised eyebrows, looking completely unreasonable, and then, intentionally wanting to make things difficult for them, she said to Old Mrs. Jiang: "Although this dress of mine isn't expensive, it still cost four figures. Old lady, can you afford to pay for it? If you can't, why don't you wash the dishes at home for a while? That can count as paying off the debt."

"I..." Old Mrs. Jiang was slightly stunned, her expression helpless for a moment.

Her entire fortune had long been swallowed up by the Lu Family, and even if she had a pension every month, it was all used to buy medicine for Jiang Chenghao.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Cai Xiaotang's voice.

"Making an old woman wash dishes, Lu Qing'er, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning while walking down the street?"

Her tone was sharp, and as she spoke, she stood directly beside Jiang Baobao.

Lu Qing'er raised an eyebrow, instantly infuriated: "Cai Xiaotang! This is none of your business!"

"This isn't your house, so why shouldn't I be allowed to speak?" Cai Xiaotang asked back with a grin.

After saying that, she deliberately put on an expression of sudden realization and said: "Oh, I forgot, you really don't have a home; the place you're living in now is still the Jiang Family Villa you snatched!"

"You!!!"

A look of hatred suddenly appeared on Lu Qing'er's face.

Cai Xiaotang and that hateful mouth of hers—sooner or later, she would tear it to shreds!

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, not bothering to continue entangling herself with her any further.

Glancing at the spot where Lu Qing'er's clothes had been torn, she very decisively took a stack of cash out of her bag.

The money was bundled up neatly, not a cent more or less, exactly ten thousand yuan.

"This money, it's enough to buy two dresses, right?"

Jiang Baobao asked with an expressionless face.

Lu Qing'er had not expected that she would actually be willing to pay, and the expression on her face softened slightly.

She knew what was good for her!

This money... it would be a waste not to take it!

It belonged to that bitch anyway!

"Hmph, barely enough." Lu Qing'er looked full of disdain, and as she spoke, she reached out to take it.

But the next second—

With a "clatter" sound.

The stack of money slipped from Jiang Baobao's hand and fell to the ground.

Lu Qing'er's expression stiffened.

Jiang Baobao wore a smile that didn't reach her eyes, her gaze filled with boundless coldness, as she said indifferently: "Sorry, my hand slipped. If you want the money, pick it up yourself."
