Wicked Soldier King Chapter 20

With a huge smas.h.i.+ng sound, the gla.s.s table was shattered to bits by w.a.n.g TianGuang’s face! Even though the gla.s.s was shattered, it didn’t look as f*cked up as w.a.n.g TianGuang’s face!

That face was truly unrecognizable, the corners of his eyes split, and his pupils were like black beads burst through the split skin. Fresh blood spurt out from his crooked nose towards the heavens! w.a.n.g TianGuang’s brain was like a gong, drum, and cymbals ringing for a spell; he only knew that in front of him was darkness, other than that he had no clue.

Beautiful!

Insta-kill!

Xu Yun waved to those two foolish underlings, “Still not hurrying him to the hospital? Don’t let him die in front of me, it’s bad luck man!”

Looking at the devastated w.a.n.g TianGuang, those two underlings’ legs and bellies were both trembling. That icy beauty again had a stern expression, and their entire bodies felt like they were being penetrated by a threatening icy aura. Would they dare to say anything more?

The two of them quickly dragged w.a.n.g TianGuang to rush to the hospital – really going to save a life was troublesome! Uncle Xi would definitely blame them two!

Xu Yun seeing that those two were quite far, smiled widely to Qiu Yan. “You really thought it over? Monthly salary of 1000, not too little right?”

Although Qiu Yan didn’t pay attention to Xu Yun, he at least saw that her eyes didn’t have the sternness from before. Her coming here, how could it be about money? The ability to protect GuoGuo’s safety, that was her number one priority.

“How could a person who doesn’t like to talk be a good waitress.” Xu Yun teased dryly.

At this time, the three shopping beauties finally returned.

“Daddy quickly look, mommy and Wan’er-jiejie are pretty right!” GuoGuo hadn’t come inside yet and excitedly shouted out.

When GuoGuo pushed open the door and entered, she instantly paused with her mouth slightly open. In a flash her eyes reddened. Half a month of grievances, worries, and being frightened – all came pouring out. With a *wah* she threw herself at Qiu Yan. “*Wahhh*! Jiejie! *Wahhh*! Where have you been!”

Seeing GuoGuo with her grieving face, Qiu Yan’s icy heart flashed and turned into gentle waters. She went forward and hugged GuoGuo who was weeping bitterly! Her mouth silently murmured, “GuoGuo don’t blame jiejie, at that time jiejie left you was also for you…GuoGuo don’t blame jiejie, jiejie from now on won’t ever leave you again…never will again….”

“Wahhh…” GuoGuo couldn’t help fearfully worrying about Qiu Yan for 10+ days. After thoroughly shouting and crying she said, “Jiejie is bad…do you know that after looking for you and not finding you, GuoGuo was so worried…Wahhh…”

Soon after, Ruan QingShuang and Qin Wan’er came in completely dazed, what in the world happened? The two women could only stare at Xu Yun, curiously waiting for Xu Yun to explain.

“Uh…about this, I think it’ll be better if GuoGuo herself explains.” Xu Yun didn’t know how to explain it, shrugging his shoulders helplessly. “Qiu Yan, how about you take GuoGuo upstairs first.”

Qiu Yan nodded, and wordlessly carried the crying mess GuoGuo and went upstairs.

Seeing this woman covered entirely in mystery, Qin Wan’er couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow. Looking at Ruan QingShuang, “QingShuang-jie, who is she?”

“I don’t know either, didn’t GuoGuo call her jiejie?” Ruan QingShuang shook her head. She was certain that this woman had some kind of relations.h.i.+p with GuoGuo. She always thought that GuoGuo was an orphan, but she didn’t think that she still had other kin.

“Your daughter’s older sister and you don’t know who she is?” Qin Wan’er was again silent, what kind of logic was that?

Xu Yun whistled at Qin Wan’er. “Qin Wan’er, your new skirt is really short. What for? To ride the bus and be a plainclothes cop? Risking your body to catch some pervy hoodlum?”

“If I’m going to catch anyone I’ll first catch you, you s.e.x maniac! Keep looking and I’ll dig out your eyeb.a.l.l.s!” Qin Wan’er glared at Xu Yun. Her attention rapidly s.h.i.+fted.

Even though Ruan QingShuang wasn’t entirely comfortable with GuoGuo upstairs, but she saw the calmness in Xu Yun’s eyes, and felt a.s.sured that that woman called Qiu Yan wouldn’t harm GuoGuo. Now in her heart, she had this strange feeling – in fact she was worried that that woman would take GuoGuo away.

Although GuoGuo wasn’t birthed by her, and the time they spent together wasn’t all that long, but without knowing why, Ruan QingShuang really already saw GuoGuo just like her own biological child.

Because from the time Ruan QingShuang saw GuoGuo, was the same time she and GuoGuo came to HeDong. The same loneliness, the same helplessness, and the same suffering with no one willing to help.

Ruan QingShuang really had a bit of fear – fear of what she would do without GuoGuo. Would she return to that same loneliness from before?

Fleeing her family and coming to HeDong City, Ruan QingShuang always endured that kind of loneliness. It was GuoGuo that gave her a new life. She already started with GuoGuo coming here, if GuoGuo really wanted to leave, she didn’t know how she would deal with this reality.

“QingShuang-jie?” Qin Wan’er stretched her hand and shook Ruan QingShuang.

With this, Ruan QingShuang finally came to her senses. “What?”

“I’m heading back to the station, the superintendent just called looking for me.” Qin Wan’er said, “Yesterday the Four Wolves Gang’s guarantor didn’t want to pay the 30,000. Don’t know if this time they will give up being stubborn. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get that money back!”

“Wan’er, then I’ve troubled you.” Ruan QingShuang felt grateful towards Qin Wan’er.

Xu Yun didn’t feel that way, “Her being a cop, she should serve the public, or how would we all pay our taxes and provide for them to eat?”

Qin Wan’er glared openly at Xu Yun. This guy says things like he’s an enemy of the police! Really, she didn’t know if a cop wrongly arrested him while he was patronizing a brothel before!

After Qin Wan’er left, several times Ruan QingShuang wanted to open her mouth and ask who that woman was, but Xu Yun used a smile to dodge it. “When the time is right, they will naturally talk it over with you. If I describe their situation it wouldn’t be very clear.”

“Then GuoGuo…will she leave?” When she said these words, Ruan QingShuang’s heart-rate jumped a bit, her eyes slightly reddened.

Just at that time, Qiu Yan was holding GuoGuo and appeared at the corner of the stairs.

GuoGuo’s face already didn’t have anymore tears. Even though her eyes were still completely red, but her mouth already broke out in a brilliant smile. “Of course GuoGuo won’t leave mommy!”

Ruan QingShuang immediately turned her head over, gently stroking and looking at GuoGuo, the deep affection in her eyes even affected Qiu Yan.

Always maintaining wariness towards everyone, Qiu Yan had to admit this woman in front of her had a very deep love towards GuoGuo.

GuoGuo jumped down from Qiu Yan’s arms and then charged headlong into Ruan QingShuang’s bosom. “Mama, this is Qiu Yan-jiejie. Since I was small she’s been my best, best friend!”

“What about me then?” Ruan QingShuang heard GuoGuo saying that and felt just a bit jealous.

“Mama since fifteen days ago, is the person who has been best to me!” GuoGuo had a golden tongue it seems. “If not for mama, GuoGuo already knew she might not live, but mommy gave me a second life! Mommy is GuoGuo’s most loved person!”

The words of a little urchin that wasn’t even seven years old made Ruan QingShuang emotional to the point of tears.

Xu Yun smiled painfully. The way this played out, this girl without a thing still went the happy route. How did she heal sadness and grief, fanning it clear? Somehow it was just a little bit unfair.

“Daddy, so you already met Qiu Yan-jiejie. Why didn’t you tell me!” GuoGuo’s face had anger as she spoke.

Xu Yun was wronged, it was Qiu Yan avoiding you. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say!

“Hmph, between Qiu Yan-jiejie and mommy you can only pick one. Don’t think you can have both in the boat!” GuoGuo completely didn’t give a chance for Xu Yun to explain, directly putting him under judgment. “Daddy definitely is thinking that he wants to be daddy and be brother-in-law. Me addressing you will turn too hard.”

What the h.e.l.l! Xu Yun really thought about cracking his head against a wall and dying. Screw it.

GuoGuo didn’t pursue the issue, and ran to the account book at the reception desk. Seeing that there was nothing recorded, GuoGuo was a bit surprised. “Daddy why didn’t you do the bookkeeping? Do you remember all of how much we’ve sold?”

“Sold a big pot of green bean soup for free.” Xu Yun shrugged and said helplessly.

“What do you mean?” Ruan QingShuang was too curious and couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Yun was afraid Ruan QingShuang would worry, but didn’t want to explain too much.

Qiu Yan said coldly, “Scoundrels swindled us.”

“Hehe.” Xu Yun could only dryly laugh. Squeezing GuoGuo’s cheeks, “But they were already settled by Qiu Yan-jiejie.”

GuoGuo pouted her little mouth. Thinking that this entire afternoon they didn’t earn any money, her small face flushed red, “It definitely must be that whatever wolf-dog gang bad guys!”

“GuoGuo, from now on none of them will come back to cause problems. With me here, I won’t ever allow you to suffer wrongs.” Qiu Yan two eyes revealed shards of regret and affection.

“Mmh!” GuoGuo nodded, and very happily ran over to Ruan QingShuang’s side. “Mommy, let’s have Qiu Yan stay as the waitress. Hehe, this way all of us don’t need to separate.”

Ruan QingShuang of course would approve, the restaurant was originally lacking in helping hands. Having a person they knew was tons better than looking for a stranger. “Qiu Yan, I don’t know what your opinion is…?”

“Mmh.” Qiu Yan nodded. No matter with who, she didn’t say much. Even if she felt limitlessly grateful to Ruan QingShuang, it was very hard to say those types of sentimental words.

Ruan QingShuang smiled widely, “Then from now on I’ll trouble you.”

She saw that Qiu Yan was the type that didn’t talk much.

Xu Yun saw in Qiu Yan’s eyes a hint of pain. Perhaps the situation last night caused her internal injury to act up again, but she still insisted on standing in front of GuoGuo. She didn’t show any indication of injury.

“GuoGuo, then why don’t you quickly go get your sister a room prepared?” Xu Yun reminded.

Ruan QingShuang and GuoGuo only now realized it. Ruan QingShuang pulled GuoGuo and said, “Go ahead, let’s go tidy up a room nice and clean for Qiu Yan-jiejie, okay?”

“Okay!” GuoGuo charged first up the stairs.

It covers eating expenses, living expenses, and healing expenses. These were the words that Xu Yun said, so of course he couldn’t go back on them.

“How many days do you think you can hold on for?” Xu Yun’s expression was unexpectedly very easy.

Qiu Yan in a self-mocking sneer said, “If it weren’t for your Nine Treasures Revival Pill, I would probably already be dead.”

“Don’t take it to heart.” Xu Yun admired her spirit that had no fear of death.

“I can’t figure it out but what else can I do?” Qiu Yan still had that self-mockery. “Xu Yun, from the time I was little till I grew up, I rarely believed in others. But I chose to believe in you. I believe that after I die you will definitely help and take care of GuoGuo well.”

Xu Yun quickly waved his hand. “No no no. If you wanna die then don’t show up. Seeing GuoGuo one more time? Would you be able to rest in peace?”

Qiu Yan dropped her gaze, after a while she slowly lifted her head. Her face didn’t carry any bit of expression. “I don’t want to die.”

“Then kindly listen to me. Even though I’m not some legendary doctor like Bian Que orHua Tuo, I didn’t have as much time as them.” Xu Yun laughed. “But I’m worried that you won’t cooperate.”

Qiu Yan stopped being sullen, her gaze firm and said, “As long as you can keep me alive, whatever you want me to do I will do!”
