Return of the Celestial King

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Naturally Kind

"Oh no, Xiaoqian!"

Han Zilin and Xu Ting were both stunned.

They both had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though they had their issues with Zhang Xiaoqian, they were instantly worried when they saw her faint.

The two of them quickly helped Zhang Xiaoqian up, getting ready to take her to the hospital.

Qin Tuo asked if they needed help, but Han Zilin just waved her hand casually.

"Brother Tu, we’re fine. The two of us can handle it!"

As the two women and a security guard helped the unconscious Zhang Xiaoqian out, Qin Tuo asked:

"Manni, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Chen Man Ni couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"You’re the one who just called me. I was worried you’d be taken advantage of."

Qin Tuo smiled, a warmth spreading through his chest.

Chen Man Ni added, her tone tinged with jealousy:

"Qin Tuo, you’re surrounded by beautiful women every day now. Life seems to be treating you pretty well!"

Qin Tuo asked with a grin:

"Manni, could it be you’re jealous?"

Chen Man Ni huffed in annoyance.

"Nonsense! I’m not jealous!"

Although that’s what she said, her pouting, girlish attitude made the truth obvious.

Seeing the two of them banter and flirt, everyone around them was completely shocked.

Now they finally understood why Qin Tuo didn’t need to pay for his expenses at the Lige Hotel.

In an instant, every man in the room was filled with envy, jealousy, and hate for Qin Tuo.

But they were also plagued by a huge question: How on earth did a poor kid like Qin Tuo win the affection of a wealthy heiress like Chen Man Ni?

Wu Liang stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Especially when he saw Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni chatting and laughing so happily, he felt like a complete clown.

As long as Chen Man Ni didn’t relent, Wu Liang knew he wasn’t walking out of this hotel today.

At this moment, a classmate came forward and asked cautiously:

"Miss Chen, can you let us go?"

Qin Tuo glanced at the person and instantly saw through their intentions.

’He was just worried Wu Liang couldn’t pay for the meal, which would mean the bill would be split among everyone.’

’After all, these classmates had already been scammed out of a lot of money by Wu Liang. If they were saddled with such a massive bill now, they’d probably want to die.’

Chen Man Ni, however, waved her hand impatiently.

"Don’t ask me about this, ask Qin Tuo!"

Everyone froze for a moment, then turned to stare at Qin Tuo, their expressions pleading and eager to please.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but swallow their pride and beg in a low, humble voice.

"Mr. Qin, we were blind just now. Please don’t take it to heart!"

"That’s right, Mr. Qin! We know we were wrong. It’s all Wu Liang’s fault! He misled us! We’re innocent!"

These classmates spoke with tears streaming down their faces, begging for Qin Tuo’s sympathy.

But they seemed to have completely forgotten how, just a moment ago, they had all been mocking Qin Tuo relentlessly. The looks on their faces then had been truly hideous.

Hearing everyone cursing him, Wu Liang hung his head even lower, his heart feeling like it was being torn apart.

Qin Tuo was silent for a moment, then responded:

"You... just want to walk away like that?"

Hearing these words, everyone’s heart went cold, and they gradually sank into despair.

There were even some girls with weaker mental fortitude who started to cry.

They all knew that Qin Tuo was holding a grudge and didn’t want to let them go.

So, everyone could only direct the flames of their fury at Wu Liang.

Wu Liang was suddenly very nervous. The gazes of these classmates were burning with anger, looking like they were about to lose control!

But just then, Qin Tuo suddenly said something else.

"Your money is still with Wu Liang, aren’t you going to get it back?"

At this, the crowd finally let out a huge sigh of relief, completely at ease.

Ah, so that’s what he meant!

A look of gratitude appeared in everyone’s eyes. As long as Qin Tuo was willing to let them go, they would be eternally grateful.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin! Please forgive our earlier ignorance!"

"We’re sorry, Mr. Qin! We’ll be forever grateful to you from now on..."

One by one, the classmates expressed their thanks to Qin Tuo.

Then, they all turned to Wu Liang with cold sneers.

Next, they were going to get their hard-earned money back.

Chen Man Ni gave a signal with her eyes, and the security guards at the entrance all moved in.

From the looks of it, Wu Liang couldn’t even dream of leaving today unless he coughed up the money.

"Wu Liang, you bastard! To think we respected you so much, and you dared to scam us out of our money? Hurry up and hand it over!"

"Hmph! Pay us back now, or we won’t let you off the hook today!"

With the help of the security guards, the group backed Wu Liang into a corner.

Wu Liang, on the verge of tears, could only raise his hands in surrender...

Seeing that the matter was more or less handled, Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni sat down to one side.

Chen Man Ni teased,

"Qin Tuo, I didn’t realize you were so kind. If I had encountered this, every single person here would have had to pay the price."

Qin Tuo shook his head and sighed with genuine feeling.

"Ah, what can I do? I was just born a kind person!"

Chen Man Ni rolled her eyes again and again, pretending to gag.

"Qin Tuo, I never knew you were so narcissistic."

"Haha!"

Qin Tuo laughed heartily.

Suddenly, Chen Man Ni remembered an important matter and said with a serious expression:

"Oh right, Qin Tuo, I just remembered. Come to my house for dinner tomorrow. My father has been talking about you lately!"

But Qin Tuo just waved his hand and refused:

"I can’t. I’m a bit overwhelmed these next few days. Maybe in a couple of days!"

Chen Man Ni glared at Qin Tuo.

"What could you possibly be busy with! No, you must come tomorrow. This isn’t an invitation from our Chen Family, but a personal invitation from Elder Mr. Ouyang."

Qin Tuo looked astonished. Only then did he realize the invitation had come from Ouyang Tianqi himself.

And so, he finally nodded and agreed.

Chen Man Ni smiled with satisfaction and stood up.

"That’s more like it. By the way, do you want me to give you a ride home?"

Qin Tuo shook his head.

"No need, I drove here myself. Thanks for the offer."

"Oh, Qin Tuo, you bought a car?"

Chen Man Ni gave Qin Tuo a strange look.

After that, Qin Tuo drove himself straight home.

After arriving home, Qin Tuo thought for a moment and made a point to call Han Zilin to ask about the situation.

"Hello, Zilin, how are things on your end?"

Qin Tuo asked with concern.

Han Zilin replied:

"Brother Tu, Xu Ting and I are staying at the hospital with Xiaoqian tonight. Could you do me a favor and tell my mom I won’t be coming home tonight?"

"Okay, you guys take care of yourselves at the hospital."

Qin Tuo added a few words of caution and hung up the phone.

He couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

’I hope that after this incident, Zhang Xiaoqian will truly repent and see the error of her ways!’
