Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 551 - 540: The Civil War Among Women

Obviously, all these spots should have been hers!

After hearing the conversation, Lu Zijiao, who was originally drinking with some girls, immediately put down his glass and walked towards the group.

“Young Master Zhan, how come you’re here? I specifically called you today, and didn’t you say you wouldn’t come?”

He hadn’t really expected Zhan Qipei to come to the gathering tonight; asking was merely a formality.

After all, his brother had rarely frequented such entertainment venues since getting married. His last bar visit was only because the couple had argued, so he went out to drink the blues away with him.

His role as a utility man was confirmed.

Not waiting for Zhan Qipei to answer, Zhan Nanqing simply took Qiao Jing’s arm and sneered at the other.

“Look, the reason why my brother suddenly came over is because I asked Qiao Jing to accompany me to the gathering,” Zhan Nanqing said, scoffing.

Seeing this, Lu Zijiao understood as clearly as if he were looking into a mirror.

“Hehe, so that’s how it is… Oh, by the way, we have a golf game planned later, does Young Master Zhan want to show off a bit? Everyone here will be participating,” he suggested.

He thought, how could Zhan Qipei possibly show up to the gathering all of a sudden? Turns out, it was to accompany Qiao Jing.

Zhan Qipei glanced at Qiao Jing beside him, took her hand and brought her back by his side, half-encircling her with his arm.

“No,” he said simply.

He was there to accompany Qiao Jing, not to play golf.

He didn’t feel at ease allowing Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing to attend the gathering by themselves; after all, now he had to guard not only against men but women as well.

His wife wasn’t on guard against other women, easily striking up conversations and chatting with others, like with Ni Yue and his sister.

Lu Zijiao found himself momentarily speechless, glancing over at the golf course he had had the staff prepare with much care.

“Really? This gathering is for playing golf, and it’s been so long since I’ve seen you play. You’re not going to show us a little today?” he prodded.

Zhan Qipei spoke with an expressionless face:

“I said no,” he once again affirmed.

After a moment’s serious thought, Lu Zijiao’s gaze fell on Qiao Jing.

“Qiao Jing, do you want to play golf?”

If Zhan Qipei didn’t work out, then he’d start with Qiao Jing.

After all, Zhan Qipei listened to Qiao Jing the most.

Qiao Jing glanced at the nearby golf course and clubs and slightly furrowed her brows.

“Do I have to play? I don’t know how to,” she admitted.

The timing of the gathering was just too urgent, she had had only a quick glance over the rules in the car before arriving at the venue.

So now, she was completely clueless about golf.

Lu Zijiao immediately gave the same advice he had given to Zhan Nanqing before, winking at Zhan Qipei.

“The big shot right beside you can surely teach you, Young Master Zhan, you’re willing to teach Qiao Jing, right?”

Zhan Qipei’s gaze fell on Qiao Jing, and a glint of light flashed through his dark eyes.

“I can teach you.”

Qiao Jing looked up at the man beside her and hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

“Okay.”

She had just heard Lu Zijiao say that everyone would participate in the competition, and since it was a golf tournament after all, if everyone else was playing and she wasn’t, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

Plus, with a ready-made coach at hand, she should be able to learn quickly.

Seeing that Qiao Jing had agreed, Zhan Qipei said nothing more and took the woman’s slender wrist, leading her towards the golf course.

At the moment, several people were practicing on the course, but they immediately cleared the field when they saw Zhan Qipei arrive.

The sight of Zhan Qipei leading Qiao Jing to the golf course alone caught everyone’s attention.

“Is Young Master Zhan going to take Qiao Jing to play golf?”

“But why does Young Master Zhan have to accompany Qiao Jing to play golf? How annoying… If I were Young Master Zhan, I would have kicked her out long ago.”

Lou Xinrou stared intently at Qiao Jing, wishing she could bite a chunk out of her.

She glanced at the friends standing by her side who were discussing Qiao Jing, restraining her emotions.

“Don’t talk about Qiao Jing like that, she’s not that scheming.”

The girl in the yellow dress grew even more unpleasant upon hearing Lou Xinrou’s words.

“Xinrou, I know you know Qiao Jing, but she’s taken what should have been yours, and you’re still speaking up for her. Are you really that good-natured?”

The girl with the ponytail looked at Qiao Jing with eyes full of jealousy.

“Lou Xinrou, I am reluctantly on your side for now since we have a common enemy, but don’t really think Young Master Zhan is yours; don’t be so shameless.”

After hearing this from the ponytailed girl, Lou Xinrou’s face stiffened, but she quickly returned to normal.

“Linglong, what are you talking about? How could I possibly think that Young Master Zhan is mine?”

She was holding back now because an extra enemy was worse than an extra ally; Qiao Jing was now their common target.

The girl in the yellow dress immediately stood up for Lou Xinrou.

“Ye Linglong, why do you speak so rudely? Who wants you on our side?”

Ye Linglong snorted coldly.

“Lou Xinrou knows what’s in her heart very well, Huang Yunqing, don’t let yourself be used.”

Huang Yunqing frowned and turned to look back at Lou Xinrou.

“Stop slandering people; Xinrou is not that kind of vicious person. Right, Xinrou?”

A false smile froze for a moment on Lou Xinrou’s face.

“Yes, of course, you are my best friend.”

Just as Zhan Nanqing happened to pass by Lou Xinrou, she overheard this and scoffed at the remark.

“Haha…”

Best friends?

These words were truly ironic.

Lou Xinrou noticed Zhan Nanqing in front of her and clenched her fists again.

“Nan—”

Before she could finish speaking, Zhan Nanqing quickened her pace and walked away, stopping not far from Ye Linglong.

Ye Linglong was about to mock Lou Xinrou when she saw Zhan Qipei holding Qiao Jing’s hand on the golf course.
