After a moment, he said, "You should just ignore scum like him."

Approaching from two steps behind them was Zhuang Zhu, who suddenly halted as though he had been shot in the heart by an arrow.

"Sister-in-law..." Please don't make it worse, will you?

Zhan Yu turned his head and gave him a lazy, "Yeah?"

The woman standing beside him was surprised by his address. She looked at Zhan Yu and promptly changed her expression. "Sister/brother-in-law! What a coincidence."

"Hah, who are you calling your brother-in-law?" Zhan Yu gave Zhuang Zhu a look. "Don't go around telling people they can call me whatever they want, Zhuang Zhu. I don't like it when strangers do that."

Then, without acknowledging the woman at all, Zhan Yu looked at Zhong Qin and said, "Let's go?"

"Of course. What is there to stay for?" Zhong Qin took Zhan Yu's arm and the two walked away, smiling.

As Zhuang Zhu stared after Zhong Qin's departing figure and prepared to chase after him, he was stopped by the woman beside him. The pungent smell of her perfume overwhelmed his senses.

"Babe, is that man your sister-in-law? Why were his words so tactless? Did you hear what he said to me earlier?! I..."

"Shut up! You get out of my sight!"

"Babe, I..."

"Scram!"

Zhong Qin and Zhan Yu were still only a short distance away, so naturally, they heard him.

The latter raised an eyebrow as he observed his expressionless best friend. "Love is a strategic war of pain, huh?"

"Heh, pain? More like jealousy," Zhong Qin replied contemptuously.

"True. Using another woman to try to make you jealous? Only a man like Zhuang Zhu would use such a lousy trick."

Zhong Qin gave an ambiguous reply, to which Zhan Yu responded with a meaningful look. Hehe, I can feel a spark between them!

As Zhan Yu laughed to himself, he couldn't wait to get home and gossip about the day's events to Lu Bai.

When Zhan Yu neared their house, however, he spotted a black car parked near the gates. The car's window was down, revealing Zhuang Zhu with a deeply melancholic expression as he smoked a cigarette.

Zhan Yu drove his car by him and deliberately stopped to ask, "President Zhuang? Are you here to help us guard our gates for free?"

The moment he heard Zhan Yu's voice, Zhuang Zhu withdrew his melancholic expression and replaced it with his usual cynical smile. "Sister-in-law. If you need me to, I would be more than happy to do it. Just say the word."

Zhan Yu didn't feel like beating around the bush with him. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Sister-in-law... please show mercy and lend me some help."

"Help with what?" Zhan Yu asked though he knew exactly what he was talking about.

"You know what, sister-in-law. I'm chasing Zhong Qin..."

"But I don't know. Didn't I just see you together with another woman? You seem to be pretty close with her, or am I wrong?"

"I was wrong. But it wasn't my idea! Sister-in-law..."

"I'm not going to help you. If you have the ability, chase him on your own!"

"Then could you try not to make the situation worse than it already is?" He didn't want to have to overcome her as an obstacle.
