Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 624 - Capricious Woman
And the onlookers couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise, seemingly not expecting Qin Bing to actually reject Gao Shanrong's invitation. Such a tall, wealthy, and handsome man is what many girls dream of, yet Qin Bing found him lacking?
Yet Gao Shanrong was also trembling with rage, his face covered in darkness as he glared at the back of Qin Bing, his eyes filled with resentment.
Just at that moment, Qin Bing caught sight of Hao Jian and couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
She hadn't anticipated that Hao Jian would return to teaching that day and simply stood there, stunned.
Hao Jian also wore a bitter smile; the two of them were finally face to face. It was no longer possible for him to pretend not to know her at this moment, so he could only give a dry laugh and wave at Qin Bing.
But at this time, Qin Bing's face was cold as she turned her head away and walked towards Gao Shanrong, "You just said you wanted to treat me to a meal, right?"
"Yes, have you agreed?" Gao Shanrong was overjoyed, not expecting Qin Bing to suddenly have a change of heart.
"Yes, I've agreed. Lead the way," Qin Bing said expressionlessly, like an iceberg.
Gao Shanrong quickly opened the car door for Qin Bing, who then got straight in.
But as the car door was about to close, a hand blocked it.
"Who are you?" Gao Shanrong glared at Hao Jian, annoyed, not understanding where this guy had come from or what he was trying to do.
But Hao Jian ignored him, staring straight at Qin Bing, "I know you're still mad at me, but if you're agreeing to the invitation of someone with ulterior motives just for that reason, you'll be the one to regret it."
Hao Jian naturally understood why Qin Bing, who had previously rejected Gao Shanrong, suddenly changed her mind.
"Who are you calling ulterior? Who the hell are you to say that about me?" Gao Shanrong immediately flew into a rage, wondering where this guy had popped up from.
He knew that Hao Jian was referring to him as the one with ulterior motives, and he felt uncomfortable being called out like that by Hao Jian.
Although he did harbor ill intentions, he didn't want others to know it.
Gao Shanrong sized up Hao Jian and, seeing how ordinarily Hao Jian was dressed, his face immediately showed a sneer. Such a pauper dares to meddle in his affairs; he must be tired of living.
"Qin Bing, who is this person?" Gao Shanrong couldn't help but ask Qin Bing, seeing that the relationship between Hao Jian and Qin Bing was unusual, possibly that of boyfriend and girlfriend?
"An insignificant person," Qin Bing replied coldly, without even glancing at Hao Jian.
Hearing this, Gao Shanrong was almost certain that Hao Jian must be Qin Bing's boyfriend; they were just having a lovers' quarrel, and Qin Bing didn't want to deal with him.
He finally understood why Qin Bing had suddenly come around: she wanted to anger Hao Jian.
Thinking this, Gao Shanrong's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
However, while he was annoyed, he also felt fortunate because this gave him the perfect opportunity. Now that Qin Bing and Hao Jian were at odds, the best thing for him would be to move in while the gap was wide, comforting Qin Bing a bit and belittling Hao Jian a bit, and maybe she would willingly fall into his arms.
"Do you really want to do this?" Hao Jian said, managing a wry smile.
"Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs?" Qin Bing was also beginning to lose patience, glaring at Hao Jian.
What right did Hao Jian have to lecture her? When she had treated him as a friend, he indeed had that right, but now that their relationship had ended, she naturally wouldn't care about Hao Jian's words.
From Qin Bing's tone, one could clearly detect a hint of resentment.
"This is just a piece of advice from a friend," Hao Jian sighed. Qin Bing's excessively proud nature would eventually lead to her harm.
"You are not my friend!" Qin Bing retorted with a cold laugh. She had once considered Hao Jian a friend, but after he had deceived her, she no longer trusted him.
"Can we go now?" Qin Bing turned to Gao Shanrong, no longer wanting to converse with Hao Jian.
"Move aside. If you dare to harass her again, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Gao Shanrong said coldly, looking very haughty now that Qin Bing had chosen him over Hao Jian.
"You shouldn't do this," Hao Jian said with a deep look at Qin Bing. If she went out with Gao Shanrong that evening, something regrettable was bound to happen.
Just now, Qin Bing's back was turned to Gao Shanrong, so she didn't see the malice on his face, but Hao Jian had seen it. This guy was up to no good!
"It's none of your business!" Qin Bing snapped back petulantly, completely disregarding Hao Jian's warning.
"Kid, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me when I said to get lost?" Gao Shanrong was thoroughly enraged, as Hao Jian dared to treat him as if he didn't exist.
He reached out to grab Hao Jian by the collar, but Hao Jian was quicker. He delivered a slap directly to Gao Shanrong's face, knocking him to the ground.
"You... you dare hit me?" Gao Shanrong covered his face, shocked and furious, glowering at Hao Jian as if he wanted to tear him apart.
"I wasn't talking to you, so please kindly shut your trap," Hao Jian said with an icy tone.
"I'll never let you off the hook for hitting me; I swear I'll make your life a misery!" roared Gao Shanrong, having decided to gather his gang afterward and make Hao Jian pay dearly!
He had always been the one bulling others; when had anyone dared to bully him? He was determined to make Hao Jian suffer!
"Enough!" At that moment, Qin Bing sharply interrupted, then angrily glared at Hao Jian, "Hao Jian, I don't need you meddling in my affairs. You hurt my friend, and you must apologize to him!"
"You'd rather be friends with such scum than listen to a word of my advice?" Hao Jian sneered, finding Qin Bing's outrage utterly unreasonable.
"He's scum? And what are you? You con artist, you freak!" Qin Bing shot back mercilessly, threatening Hao Jian, "Now get lost, or I'll call the cops! I don't need you dealing with my problems!"
Hao Jian's expression stiffened, and then he let out a bizarre laugh, shaking his head as he backed away.
Clearly wounded by Qin Bing's capriciousness, he felt a chill in his heart at that moment.
Upon seeing Hao Jian retreat in humiliation and a childish sense of satisfaction appearing on Qin Bing's face she turned to Gao Shanrong, "Gao Shanrong, let's go!"
"Hmph, loser!" Gao Shanrong looked down on Hao Jian with contempt, adopting the posture of a victor as he walked toward the car.
"If you dare to hurt her, I promise you'll regret ever living on this earth!" Hao Jian warned with a grimace on his face.
But Gao Shanrong responded with a scornful laugh; the idea that Hao Jian had the gall to threaten him was ridiculous. He planned to investigate Hao Jian's background as soon as he turned around and ensure his demise.
Then Gao Shanrong drove off with Qin Bing in a luxury car, leaving Hao Jian standing there with a fluctuating expression.
"That ice beauty isn't very smart, huh." Just then, a lazy voice came from not far away.
Che Xiaoxiao slowly walked over, a bag of snacks in hand, standing beside Hao Jian and watching the direction of the departing car.

"You saw all that?" Hao Jian asked with a bitter smile.
"Yeah, saw the whole thing. That guy obviously has his sights set on the ice beauty," shrugged Che Xiaoxiao, as she shoved a chip into her mouth, "But it's their business, isn't it? You can't really do anything about it, can you?"
"Right, but she's my friend, and I don't want to see her get hurt," sighed Hao Jian.
"You want to help her, but she doesn't want your help. People only realize who truly cares about them after they've been hurt. Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. Maybe the ice beauty isn't that averse to that guy. Maybe she likes him too. You're not her; how would you know? I'd advise you not to be too full of yourself," Che Xiaoxiao cautioned him.
Hao Jian nodded, saying, "Maybe there's some truth to that."
"Don't you have classes today?" Hao Jian wondered aloud. It was class time, so why was Che Xiaoxiao out and about?
"I do, but I was hungry, so I skipped class to get something to eat," replied Che Xiaoxiao with a shrug.
"Eating that much? What are you, a pig?" Hao Jian said, amazed, looking at the bag of snacks almost as big as Che Xiaoxiao herself.
"I'm growing," Che Xiaoxiao said, unabashed.
"Growing? You think I'm an idiot? You're in your twenties and still growing?" Hao Jian burst into laughter, then grabbed a handful of flesh on Che Xiaoxiao's stomach, exclaiming, "Look at you, what a porker!"
"Let go, let go! Hao Jian, you bastard!" Che Xiaoxiao was fuming. She was well aware that she had put on a significant amount of weight recently, and her natural baby face made her slight overweightness all the more pronounced.
Being overweight didn't mean that she appreciated being told so, especially not with Hao Jian grabbing at her like that.
Che Xiaoxiao could have killed Hao Jian right then; his teasing was too much.
As Hao Jian and Che Xiaoxiao entered the school, they saw two groups in a face-off on the sports field.
One group was led by Luo Tong, while the other consisted of Western faces with a blond man at the head.
Seeing the blond man, Hao Jian couldn't help but be surprised, "Benjamin, what's he doing back in Huaxia?"
Hao Jian was taken aback because after losing a game of chess to him, Benjamin had left Huaxia for good. They hadn't crossed paths since, and Hao Jian hadn't expected to see him again.
Hao Jian felt unexpectedly surprised by Benjamin's sudden visit.
"Little Yellow Hair is here to stir trouble again, wasn't the lesson we gave him last time enough?" Che Xiaoxiao complained, crunching on her chips and muttering indistinctly.
Bennjamin had come directly into conflict with her classmates, clearly looking for a fight.
"Let's go and have a look," Hao Jian said, his face breaking into a cold smile. With all the anger he had nowhere to vent, Benjamin's appearance was very timely indeed.
