Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1969 - 1942: Conflict

At the same time, as Lu Tianxing and Qiu Tianrui were chatting, Lingling, who went to the restroom, was standing alone beside a heavily made-up woman. She stretched out her chubby little hand, stood on her tiptoes, and tried to wash her hands in the sink.

Perhaps because the sink was relatively high and Lingling was too young, wanting to wash her hands required her to stand on her tiptoes. However, possibly due to the slippery floor, Lingling lost her balance just as she stood on her tiptoes and accidentally bumped into the heavily made-up woman beside her. Her wet little hands also pressed against the seemingly expensive autumn dress of the woman.

"Ah, what are you doing, can’t you see? You got water on me. Are you blind? Do you believe I will kick you flying, you little brat," the woman scolded Lingling with displeasure upon seeing Lingling’s wet hands on her dress.

Lingling’s face immediately showed an expression of grievance as she cautiously explained, "Big sister, I’m sorry. Lingling slipped just now, I didn’t mean it. Big sister, please don’t be angry, Lingling apologizes to you."

"Apologize?"

Upon hearing Lingling’s words, the woman’s face became even more displeased. "Alright, then kneel on the ground and apologize, and I’ll forgive you. Otherwise, I will teach you, this little brat with a mother and no father, a good lesson today."

At this moment, Qiu Yingrong, who was waiting outside, seemed to have heard the commotion in the restroom and walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Qiu Yingrong enter, Lingling instantly looked like she found her pillar, calling out with a face full of grievance, "Mommy."

"What’s the matter, Lingling, what happened?"

Seeing Lingling’s face full of grievance, Qiu Yingrong quickly strode forward.

Lingling heard Qiu Yingrong’s words, glanced at the woman beside her, and then said in a small voice, "Mommy, I accidentally slipped and bumped into this big sister’s clothes. I already apologized to her, but she says Lingling has to kneel down to apologize before she will forgive Lingling."

Upon hearing Lingling’s words, Qiu Yingrong took a deep breath and looked apologetically at the woman, saying, "Miss, I’m sorry, really sorry. My daughter is still young, please don’t take it to heart. I’ll apologize for her, okay? Also, I can compensate you."

"Compensate?"

After hearing Qiu Yingrong’s words, the woman couldn’t help but reveal a trace of mockery as she sized her up. "How do you plan to compensate? Do you know how much my dress costs? What are you going to use to compensate? Can you afford it?"

After hearing the woman’s words, Qiu Yingrong’s face slightly darkened, but she still said, "Whatever it costs, I’ll pay you."

"You can pay any price?"

The woman laughed coldly, "Do you think money can buy everything? Let me tell you, my dress is a global limited edition, with only twenty pieces worldwide. How will you compensate, what will you use for compensation? Judging by what you’re wearing, can you afford it?"

Qiu Yingrong glanced at the woman, then spoke to Lingling, "Lingling, don’t pay her any attention, let’s go."

This woman was obviously causing trouble without reason, so there was no point in being polite.

"Big sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."

Before leaving, Lingling still apologized to the woman.

"Stop right there, who let you leave, dirty my clothes and just walk away, dream on. Let me tell you, if you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, don’t think of going anywhere."

Seeing Qiu Yingrong preparing to leave, the woman’s face became more unpleasant, and she took a few steps forward, blocking Qiu Yingrong’s way.

"Then what do you want?" Qiu Yingrong’s face also darkened, and she said in a cold tone.

She had already given the other party enough face, and even agreed to compensate, but the woman was still being unreasonable. In that case, she wouldn’t be polite.

"What’s with your tone? Who gave you the permission to talk to me like that..."

Before the woman finished speaking, Qiu Yingrong interrupted her without hesitation, "What’s with my tone? We’ve already apologized to you and agreed to compensate, but you’re the one being unreasonable. Now you won’t let us leave; what exactly do you want? It’s just a shabby dress, why act so arrogant? You honestly think I can’t afford it?"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the private room, Qiu Tianrui remained silent, while Lu Tianxing was also silent, enjoying the exquisite dishes leisurely and savoring the flavors.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was not clear how long it had been when Qiu Tianrui finally let out a heavy sigh, saying, "I must say, Mr. Lu, this truly is a difficult choice, but I think I have taken note of the Qiu family’s choice."

Upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, Lu Tianxing’s gaze flickered slightly, "I’m all ears."

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Tianrui spoke without hesitation, "Our Qiu family chooses to follow Mr. Lu without looking back. After all, regardless of how our family chooses, there’s likely nothing good in store for the Qiu family. So we might as well take a gamble and see who truly wins or loses."

Lu Tianxing’s gaze flickered slightly upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words and he responded faintly, "Young Master Qiu, is this decision your own choice or the Qiu family’s choice?"

"This is my decision and also the Qiu family’s decision. Otherwise, Mr. Lu, do you think my grandfather would have let me invite you for a meal?"

Upon hearing these words, a hint of a smile finally appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face, and just as he was about to say something more, the private room door suddenly swung open from the outside, and Lingling rushed in with an expression of panic and fear.

Lu Tianxing instinctively turned his head to look and saw the panic and fear on Lingling’s face, showing a hint of confusion—what had happened, and why did only Lingling come back? Where was Qiu Yingrong?

"Daddy, there’s a big sister who’s arguing with mommy—a fierce argument, you need to go see quickly!"

Upon seeing Lu Tianxing, Lingling immediately ran to his side and said in a voice choked with sobs, "That big sister is so fierce, she even said I should kneel down and apologize to her before she’d forgive Lingling."

As she spoke, tears glistened in Lingling’s bright eyes, and her little face was full of grievance; she didn’t mean it, she had already apologized—why wouldn’t this big sister forgive her?
