Super War God in the City

Chapter 20 The Negligent Wife



Xiao Chubing stood at the door, her eyes full of suspicion and astonishment at the scene before her.

A green but beautiful young woman was crying desperately in Ling Fan's arms, with another elegant lady standing beside her, her eyes red.

What was this situation? A battle between two women over a man? Or was the guy two-timing? But she was his legitimate partner!

Liu Yuqiong had hurriedly come to report that Ling Fan had left Tian Hao Hotel, and rushed to this bar as if something was about to happen!

She had just finished with her work at the company and couldn't stop worrying about Ling Fan, so she drove over to check on him.

She hadn't planned to intervene, but upon arriving, she stumbled upon quite the scene!

Xu Miaotong calmed her agitated emotions and looked toward the door with Xia Ying. Seeing Xiao Chubing, both were struck by her stunning appearance.

A beautifully polished woman stood there, her figure accentuated by a hip-hugging skirt, looking sexy and fashionable. Her bright eyes and graceful gestures emitted a strong presence, making them feel inferior.

Xia Ying was the first to react, looking at Ling Fan with questioning eyes.

Xu Miaotong managed to calm down a bit, standing to the side with a blushing face, equally curious.

Ling Fan cleared his throat, about to introduce them, when Xiao Chubing spoke icily, "Wait for me in the car."

After she had spoken, she turned and left. Ling Fan chuckled nervously, thinking to himself that this was bad.

He gave Xia Ying and the other woman an apologetic smile, "If there's anything, call me anytime. I have something to attend to and must leave now!"

Women are sensitive creatures. "Sister Ying, was that woman just now Brother Fan's wife?"

"Probably!" Xia Ying responded.

She had distinctly felt a hint of hostility from Xiao Chubing, the kind only detectable between women.

"I never imagined Brother Fan's wife could be so beautiful," Xu Miaotong exclaimed before suddenly screaming.

"Ah! Did she misunderstand something just now?"

"You only realize that now?" Xia Ying sighed.

Xu Miaotong's face turned red as she said anxiously, "I have to explain it to her."

Recalling her earlier actions, she felt incredibly embarrassed, her face as red as a monkey's butt.

"Are you crazy? Why explain when there's nothing between you? Wouldn't talking about it only make things worse? Brother Fan can clarify it himself," Xia Ying said irritably.

"I never saw any good in this guy before, but thinking about it now, he seems quite handsome. Why didn't I notice it before?" Xia Ying muttered to herself, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Xu Miaotong thought about it and felt a bit conflicted.

After glancing at the broken furniture near the bar, Xia Ying decided not to bother cleaning up today; Li Chenggang had already been sent to the hospital.

"Come on, let's lock up and go upstairs to rest," Xia Ying said, pulling along a dazed Xu Miaotong.

....

Inside the BMW, Xiao Chubing drove in silence, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

Ling Fan chuckled nervously, "You misunderstood what just happened, it was just..."

"No need for explanations. Quit your job tomorrow, no, quit now, and come work at my company. We need a head security guard, and you're perfect for it," Xiao Chubing said coldly.

"Uh…" Ling Fan was at a loss for words.

Xiao Chubing was incredibly frustrated, thinking to herself how this fellow seemed to enjoy his job, no wonder he didn't leave his position as a security guard—always surrounded by people, indeed.

She didn't know what Ling Fan was thinking, but as a woman, she intuitively felt that those two women's feelings for Ling Fan were not simple.

Today's incident was fortuitous as it completely changed everyone's perception of him.

Especially the assertiveness, the comforting and dependable feeling he projected—it deeply impacted Xia Ying and Xu Miaotong.

How could their hearts not be shaken? It was like a stormy sea; not just for those two women.

Even many of the spectating girls were infatuated. Xiao Chubing was late to the scene and only saw two emotionally stirred women.

But seeing these two was indeed lethal, she never dreamt that this good-for-nothing, who was always despised at home, could attract so much attention outside, she really had misjudged him.

Ling Fan didn't bother explaining either, knowing it was pointless to reason with a woman, especially since he indeed planned to resign these days, having regained his memory, it wasn't possible to keep working as a bouncer at the bar forever.

As for joining his wife's Tianyun Company, that was also a good idea, it was just the opportunity he needed to deal with the Feng Family while helping Tian Yun grow stronger.

"Oh, speaking of Tian Hao Hotel, I heard about it from Yu Qiong. Who was that person who made the Zhou Family bow their heads?" Xiao Chubing remembered Liu Yuqiong's description and still couldn't believe it.

How much a good-for-nothing husband weighed, she knew perfectly well. Liu Yuqiong had practically praised him to the skies, and she didn't believe it at all, but her best friend had no reason to lie to her.

Especially since Liu Yuqiong kept pestering her with endless questions, almost driving her insane, because she couldn't answer a single one.

If it weren't for being suddenly called back home by her family, she might have ended up staying at her place today.

"Oh, I think his name is Cao Jinghui!" Ling Fan said casually.

"Cao Jinghui? The low-key paragon of Jiangbei Province, Cao Jinghui?" Xiao Chubing was instantly shocked.

About Cao Jinghui's true identity and background, she knew very little, but she had heard of the title Jiangbei Paragon.

Moreover, this man was low-key and mysterious, and there were many rumors about him; she couldn't believe that Ling Fan actually knew such a person?

"Right, I'm not so sure myself!" Ling Fan replied.

"What are you joking about, he helped you and you don't even know his details clearly? Let's arrange a dinner to thank him!" Xiao Chubing suggested, thinking of Cao Jinghui's reputation, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"There's no need, I'm not close with him, it was just my friend who arranged it, you don't need to worry about it!" Ling Fan stated indifferently.

Hearing this, Xiao Chubing took a deep breath, clearly dissatisfied with Ling Fan's evasiveness.

Today, in front of her best friend, she suddenly discovered that she was truly a negligent wife, as she had never really taken the time to understand Ling Fan.

She didn't even know who his friends were, let alone his remarkable abilities.

She was even more clueless about whether he had other women outside; recalling the scene she had stumbled upon at the bar earlier, her heart felt congested.

If it wasn't for the matter of divorce, she wouldn't have known how long she'd be kept in the dark; did he plan to hide it from her forever? Or did he not like her at all? Otherwise, why hadn't he ever been honest with her in their two years of marriage?

There's a saying, "Don't guess a woman's thoughts," and at this moment, Xiao Chubing had plunged into a whirlwind of confusion, tormenting herself mentally.

"What else are you hiding from me? Aren't you going to explain?" Xiao Chubing was upset now.

She suddenly felt that she might not even know him as well as those two women she'd encountered in the bar; it was a bitter feeling.

Ling Fan knew he couldn't sidestep anymore, that sooner or later they would find out if they continued to stay together, but this matter wasn't something he could simply explain in a few words.

"Cao Jinghui owes a favor to my friend, which is why he helped," Ling Fan chose his words cautiously.

Xiao Chubing couldn't help but tremble internally; it must be a huge favor to have moved Cao Jinghui to take action.

Ling Fan actually knew such a person? Most importantly, she knew nothing about it.

"But I also owe someone a favor that I will have to repay later," Ling Fan added.

His statement wasn't wrong; although he wasn't afraid of any power in Huaxia, he still kept the silent support of the Vermilion Bird in his heart.

Xiao Chubing took a deep breath, feeling somewhat moved.

She believed that if it weren't for her, Ling Fan wouldn't have gotten into a conflict with the other party, nor would he have used this favor.

"What's the deal with Ding Wanchang? Although I have business dealings with him, I understand his character; he wouldn't let you off just for my sake."

Obviously, just understanding the Zhou Family's situation didn't satisfy her; she was determined to get to the bottom of things, as she felt her knowledge of Ling Fan was embarrassingly scant, so scant it made her feel inferior.

At this time, the car had stopped in front of the villa, their home, and Xiao Chubing's startup assets were also approaching a hundred million, a common villa was still affordable.

"That's a long story, let's talk inside but keep it between us," Ling Fan gave a wry smile, because the matter with Ding Wanchang was a bit special.

Just then, a black Mercedes S600 pulled up behind them; turning to see who was getting out of the car, Xiao Chubing and Ling Fan looked at each other.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear; it wasn't anyone else, it was the very Ding Wanchang they had just mentioned.
