Chapter 1299 — Stepping In to Help
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Sun Yikai was Sun Jingyan's younger brother. If anything happened to him, Wu Chengtian could never stand aside and do nothing!
"Fine! Have him apologize to me right now, then get lost, and we will call this matter settled!" Zhao Qibing was still somewhat wary of Wu Chengtian, that reckless fool. Wu Chengtian was highly skilled, and Zhao Qibing's present men were no match for him, so when Wu Chengtian spoke, Zhao Qibing smoothly went with the flow and granted him the favor.
"Brother Wu, stay out of this. I just cannot stand his ways!" Sun Yikai had not expected Wu Chengtian to step forward for him at this moment. Although he did not much like Wu Chengtian, nor did he support his sister marrying him, at this moment Sun Yikai felt that Wu Chengtian was rather loyal after all.
"Wu Chengtian, you see? Your little brother-in-law does not care about your face at all. You had better not meddle in this!" Zhao Qibing gave a cold snort, distancing Wu Chengtian from the affair, meaning he should no longer interfere.
Seeing the situation about to erupt at any moment, Xu Shilan sighed helplessly. Sun Yikai had spoken up for her out of kindness, and Xu Shilan naturally did not want anything to happen to him here, so she had no choice but to speak up: "Young Master Zhao, in that case, I will drink a cup with you, though I will take tea in place of wine..."
In saying this, Xu Shilan meant to draw Zhao Qibing's attention away, so that he would stop targeting Sun Yikai.
Hearing Xu Shilan's words, Zhao Qibing was overjoyed, thinking Xu Shilan had been captivated by his dominance! Before, Xu Shilan had shown him not the slightest courtesy, and now her sudden change of attitude must surely be because his conduct just now had been so manly that Xu Shilan's heart had been moved!
It seemed Xu Shilan also had a streak of worship for force. If he often showed off his power, it would help him win over girls!
"Ha, good, Miss Xu, please!" Zhao Qibing made a complacent inviting gesture, and had no more time to bother with Sun Yikai.
Sun Yikai naturally knew Xu Shilan was stepping in to rescue him. He sighed inwardly, shook his head, and was about to leave when he heard a voice raised in objection.
"Xiaohan, Xiaoxiao is looking for you. Go keep her company." Wei Zhao walked over, stepped straight in front of Zhao Qibing, shielding Xu Shilan, and said to her: "I will drink with this cripple!"
"Huh?" Hearing that voice, Zhao Qibing was badly frightened. He knew that voice all too well. Was it not Wei Zhao's voice? His legs had been crippled twice thanks to him, Uncle Zhu was still lying in a hospital bed, and the Medicine King was covered all over with lightning rods. Zhao Qibing would do anything to steer clear of such a man, how would he dare offend him?
Seeing Wei Zhao suddenly come forward to help, Xu Shilan was slightly stunned. She had not expected Wei Zhao to call Zhao Qibing a cripple outright, so with Zhao Qibing's temper, how would he react?
Yet Zhao Qibing's reaction surprised Xu Shilan somewhat. Zhao Qibing seemed to show no anger at all. On the contrary, a trace of fear flickered across his face!
