BXBX NOVEL Chapter 166 To See You
No matter what, she was going to turn her parents into noodle store owners, just to fulfil that childish wish of hers. Beside Bai Yue, her mother was pale with horror. She clearly understood the hidden meaning of her words, even if Bai Yue didn\'t.
Xue Ning narrowed her eyes and immediately planted herself in front of Bai Yue, just in time, for Bai Yue tilted her head and peered at Zhou Yu carefully, pursing her lips.
"But you don\'t look like a jiejie. You look like an aunty," was Bai Yue\'s innocently heartless response.
Ouch. Everyone over the age of 20 winced when they heard her statement. Xue Ning laughed at the humiliated flush on Zhou Yu\'s face.
"What do people say… Only children and fools speak the truth? Is that the quote?" Xue Ning asked mockingly. "I\'m only the daughter of humble noodle stall owners, but you should be more well-read than I am."
"You damned brat! Learn some manners! Do you know how much my face is worth?" Zhou Yu made another attempt to lunge at her for saying that she looked like an old hag, but Wei Yan held her back in time.
"Sorry, sorry… My daughter is still young. I hope you understand." Bai Yue\'s mother said hastily, bowing repeatedly.
Zhou Yu wasn\'t satisfied though with this show of apology - the one person she wanted humbled was still laughing at her!
"She said another bad word," Bai Yue whispered, tugging on the tail end of Xue Ning\'s shirt, half-hiding behind her thigh.
"That she did," Xue Ning said, patting Bai Yue\'s head to reassure her that she did nothing wrong.
"Hey, Bai Yue was already very kind to call you an aunty, seeing that in my eyes, you\'re actually a thousand year demoness wrapped in mummified human skin and discarded dog hair." Xue Ning smiled sweetly back at Zhou Yu.
And all hell broke loose.

MEANWHILE…
"I\'ll triple your salary if you let me out! Just for a quick moment! I need to go with her!" Jingwei cajoled. He had tried to negotiate with Ming Guang to open the door to let him out. With every passing minute that Xue Ning hadn\'t returned, his mind had grown antsier.
What if she was in trouble! Maybe a hooligan gang was blocking the way and she had to beat the living shit out of all of them to get through.
"No, Mr Sun. I cannot and will not let you out." Ming Guang said, determined to ignore him.
"You have to! Just look at this!" Sun Jingwei waved his phone in front of Ming Guang. It played a video livestream on Weibo that showed two women arguing with each other.
As it turned out, reality was worse than whatever Jingwei could have imagined.
One of the women was Xue Ning, the love of his life, his fake fiancee, hopefully the mother of his future children.
The other was his ex-fiancee.
Even if the audio was garbled, he could tell from Xue Ning\'s body language that she was this close to beating the shit out of his ex-fiancee and the sentiment was returned twofold. One didn\'t need to be a genius to know that he was the crux of the argument!
"Come on! I have to stop the fight! I have to see Xue Ning!" Jingwei repeated, but to no avail. As far as Ming Guang was concerned, he wasn\'t sending his newest charge to get caught in a cat fight, even if it did look interesting.
Xue Ning could definitely take Zhou Yu in a fight, but Jingwei didn\'t want to risk it. She could get hurt, or Zhou Yu might just be vengeful enough to destroy her and her family before Jingwei could help. If he was outside, but then that job fell to Wei Yan instead, because Jingwei was still stuck inside the car with no way out.
Well…
Jingwei looked at his phone contemplatively, and then gave a cautious gaze at Ming Guang, who was still watching him from the corner of his eyes warily.
He pretended to sulk like a boy, curled in his seat as he fiddled on his phone to distract him.
It wasn\'t as though Jingwei had no way out, but was he going to risk possibly pissing off his newest bodyguard to go after Xue Ning?
Of course he was.
Steeling his jaw, he used his fingerprint to access his car\'s mainframe from his phone, and then inputted a list of commands he had inputted before to override the existing decision. His actions were old and familiar, similar to riding a bicycle after a long time.
Habits were hard to break, he mused to himself as lines of code greeted him warmly like an old friend and the world was his oyster. All it took was a push of a button and…bingo.
The door clicked open.
He caught Ming Guang\'s surprised eye in the rearview mirror and gave a cheeky wave.
"What -"
Jingwei didn\'t reply - he simply grabbed his phone and darted out of the car, but not before slamming the car door shut with a cheeky wave.
"Get back here!" Ming Guang demanded, but Jingwei already ran ahead without even replying, his back vanishing into the crowd.
Ming Guang swore, and immediately opened the door to follow him - or he would have, but for some strange reason, the door wouldn\'t open.
What on earth? He stared at the car door angrily and unlocked the door, only for the door to automatically return to its locked state. No matter how many times he did it, it was as though the car was only responding to Jingwei\'s orders and no one else\'s.
What kind of nonsense was this? How could a door keep auto-locking? Was this car possessed? He shuddered in fear at the thought.
Stuck in the car, he had no choice but to wait!

Somewhere else…
Wu Shang Jing laughed in delight as the alert on his phone went off, notifying him that \'Dimitri\' was now online and back in business.
It wasn\'t difficult to find out why. Videos of the altercation were already swarming online. Jingwei never really learnt to stop his bleeding heart from playing the hero, even after all these years.
Which meant that it was still just as easy to manipulate him now. Especially when there was this new woman in the equation… he zoomed in on her face and smirked.
What a spitfire she was. Wu Shang Jing longed to keep her by his side for entertainment, but she was meant for other things.
She was the key in the Sun family\'s downfall!
