Real or Fake Missy : Female Side Boss Character Does Not Want to Die Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Old Master Ding Arrived

Cheng Ling smoothly received the “signal” from Lu Qi. She retreated and continued to be a “coward”.

In the past 18 years, she had been solving everything by herself. This was the first time someone had helped her, and the feeling was pretty good.

Ding Shan’s mind could not understand these twists and turns. He could not take his eyes off the watch that was full of diamonds in front of him.

“Ahem. This watch looks pretty good to me, but…” Ding Shan continued to cheat people. “No matter how valuable a watch is, it can’t be worth 300,000 yuan. Don’t you think you have to pay more?”

What an Idiot!

Cheng Ling looked at the big-bellied man expressionlessly.

It was hard to imagine that this man was from the Ding family, an aristocratic family of military officers. He was more than capable of ruining things.

Lu Qi glanced at Cheng Ming and Xie Wan, who were standing silently in the corner.

Xie Wan rubbed her arms and subconsciously felt afraid of Lu Qi’s gaze.

He was obviously just a sickly man, but his gaze was very sharp.

“Well, the remaining amount will be given to you by the Cheng family. Mr. Ding, are you fine with 100,000 yuan?”

Ding Shan finally understood the principle of giving in when the situation was favorable. He pretended to nod his head in reluctance.

“Alright, I’ll let you guys off this time. Let’s settle this privately!”

He put Lu Qi’s watch in his pocket, it was heavy and carried a lot of weight.

Cheng Ming and Xie Wan kept thanking him. Xie Ying had never seen such a scene before. She stood in the corner and watched anxiously. When she saw that the matter had been resolved, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Xie Ying walked to Lu Qi.

“Mr. Lu, thank you so much for what you did just now. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know to what extent our Ling Ling would be bullied.”

Xie Ying held Lu Qi’s hand with emotion. There were tears in her eyes.

One had to know that the moment she heard those words from the Cheng family, she was close to despair.

Her hands were callused from years of hard work. Cheng Ling was worried that Lu Qi wasn’t used to it. Just as she was about to step forward to help out, she saw Lu Qi hold Xie Ying’s hand.

Cheng Ling stopped in her tracks.

When the two of them held hands, the contrast between their exquisite and rough hands was even more obvious. However, Lu Qi did not seem to notice it at all.

“Grandma, this is just a small matter. In the future, if Cheng Ling feels wronged, feel free to tell me.”

Xie Ying kept thanking Lu Qi.

“Mr. Lu, how much is your watch? I’ll pay you back. I have money.”

“It’s not expensive, you don’t have to.”

“I do!”

“You don’t have to pay back, Grandma.”

Lu Qi did not have much experience dealing with old people. He was able to handle all sorts of situations with ease, yet he was actually in trouble at this moment.

He cast his gaze at Cheng Ling who was standing behind Xie Ying. It was obvious that he was asking for help.

Cheng Ling laughed. Her amber-colored eyes were clear and pure, and there were faint dimples on both sides of her cheeks.

She then held Xie Ying’s arm.

“Grandma, just listen to Mr. Lu.”

Coincidentally, Lu Qi’s phone rang. It was the first time Lu Qi found the ringtone so pleasant.

“Let me take a call.”

Cheng Ling nodded and turned back to comfort Xie Ying. “Grandma, don’t worry. This watch will definitely go back to Mr. Lu in the end.”

Without further explanation, just when Cheng Ling thought that the farce today was about to end, the door opened again.

It was the male lead of the story that had not appeared for the whole day — Ding Yu.

Behind Ding Yu was Old Master Ding, Ding Shun, who was respected by everyone in the capital.

Old Master Ding’s hair was completely white. As he had gone to the battlefield a few years ago and had a leg injury, he now he needed to use a crutch. However, this did not affect his imposing manner and aura.

Decades of being an officer were not for nothing. There were some people even if they were riddled with injuries, they were still a pine tree that could be admired by tens of thousands of people.

Ding Shun was such an existence.

Therefore, even if the Ding family’s assets and businesses were not as powerful as the Lu family’s, the prestige that Ding Shun had gained from fighting still made everyone fearful.

Ding Shan was sitting on a chair. Seeing his father and the solid red-brown crutch appear at the door, he stood up reflexively.

That crutch hurt when it was used for beating. He had experienced it himself!

“Dad, why are you here?”

Ding Shan quickly gave up his seat. This time, the person who had to kowtow to was Ding Shun.

Ding Shun swept his gaze across the room and used his crutch to hit on the ground.

“What are you guys doing here?”

“Dad, you didn’t know about it, right? Your favorite grandson…” Ding Shan pointed at the unharmed Ding Yu. “He was beaten up. Look, I’m helping you teach the person a lesson.”
