UNION OF ENEMIES - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Translated by CatMeme6

“Wow!” Fang Qing Kui sneaked up to the table and her beautiful pair of eyes was sparkling brilliantly.

Jia Shao was caressing her full stomach and studied the look in her friend’s eyes. In her memory, the only time Fang Qing Kui would have this kind of light in her eyes is when she is looking at money. She threw the lunch box into the trash bin and asked. “What?”

“Is Zhen Lang really so rich?” Both of her eyes were popping out the $-sign as Fang Qing Kui propped up her chin with her hands and said in an envious voice tone.

“Probably.” Jia Shao twitched her mouth. “It should be more not less.”

After knowing him for so many years, she did not ask but she has a rough idea.

“Doesn’t that make him a Diamond Bachelor*?” Fang Qing Kui lamented while clicking her tongue. “Such a good man, if one is to be married to him, it would be so good.”

“Go ahead and pursue him!” Jia Shao generously pointed out the door to the hospital on the opposite side of the street. “If you are willing to break two ribs, you can also pursue him right up to the place where he works.”

In the eyes of Fang Qing Kui, waves of light were circulating charmingly. “Have you never heard that when two characters are too similar, they are not compatible?”

“Is it?” Jia Shao thought for a while with her head tilted. “Thinking about this, it is really true that the two of you are the same, with a belly full of evil tricks and killing without a drop of blood.”

“My ideal man is someone who I can boss around and not a man like him who knows what I am thinking with just a glance.” Fang Qing Kui licked her sexy lips. “As for you, since we are so compatible, there is no reason why you and Zhen Lang are not suitable, right? There is a saying that fertile water should not flow into the lands of others*, so in future, if you want to exploit living expenses from him, I can help you count your money.”

(Fertile water should not flow into the lands of others means to keep the good things to oneself and not let others enjoy the benefits.)

“Are you counting any less?” Jia Shao said flatly and threw her a glare. “For the top-notch package including a car and outdoor scenery you have already priced it at $100,000. Even the booking is lined up until three months later and you still consider yourself poor?”

“Is it?” Fang Qing Kui played with her curly hair and said nonchalantly. “The joy in life lies in counting endless amount of money. What’s more, you also have a share in the money I count and actually, counting money is tiring work.”

Jia Shao gave a contemptuous sneer and said. “I am the one taking the photos, I am the one that is working outdoors and I am the one who is telling them to pose. I am the one doing all the work and you say you are tired?”

“Ah…….” Fang Qing Kui suddenly remembered something. Swaying her hips, she walked to the front of the desk and pull out an appointment form. “Someone had booked you for an outdoor shoot half a month later. The place is F-city, Riverview and the shoot should take about 7 days all inclusive. This is to inform you first.”

“Damn you!” Jia Shao did not give her face and swore at her. “I have already told you I will be going home to see my old man half a month later.”

“Then you have to delay going home a few days later.” Fang Qing Kui said gracefully with a smile. “This is a top-level order which specified you to be the photographer. In order to cut the queue, an additional $20,000 was paid, so……..”

“So you sold me, right?” Jia Shao was accustomed to her friend’s style. She stood up and stretched her body lazily. “Okay, I get it. A month later, give me a long break. I have to rest for a week.”

The smile on Fang Qing Kui’s face suddenly bloomed into a brilliant sunflower. “I know, I know. You can take a break.”

Jia Shao did not know whether she was fortunate or unfortunate to be acquainted with her. Since in school, she is only interested in photography and taekwondo. In other aspects, she is like a dummy and a child, never knowing how much money she has and never checking her bank book since she is so lazy. She only has this good friend to help her, someone who has a natural habit of collecting.

Other people collect antique treasures, stamps, and only Fang Qing Kui simply collects……money.

She is stingy but she never lets herself be deprived. She will not be stingy on her food, her clothes, and her makeup. She will be stingy when it comes to buying things and she will haggle for a good price. When she sells, she will inflate the price. She will behave completely unscrupulously, become rowdy and will not even mind wasting an hour just to save a few dollars for a small purchase. It is because this is her source of happiness, the fountain that gives her happiness.

Her astuteness in makeup is even stronger and Yecha* can even be turned into a fairy under her hands. In addition, there is also Jia Shao’s skill in photography. So, for “Golden Sunflower” Studio to become the top-notch photo studio in two short years is not without valid reasons.

(Yecha is a fictional figure with fierce and devilish facial features.)

Fang Qing Kui manages the studio and Jia Shao sells her technical skills. These two people collaborated closely to run the studio. Without a care, she would throw her bank book to Fang Qing Kui and every month, she would only listen to the amount and would not bother to look at it. Anyway, if the amount is short, Fang Qing Kui that lady will help her get it back.

Handling a shooting as the designated sole photographer is actually not too tiring. At times, when the clients change their clothing and repair their makeup, there would be time to take a rest and eat something. The whole day, the maximum number of clients the studio will cater is only 2 to 3 clients.

After finishing their conversation, someone draped herself lazily on a chair. “I’m very hungry. Are there any steamed dumplings from the opposite shop for me to eat?”

“Go over and buy it yourself.” Fang Qing Kui, whose fingers were flying over the calculator, did not even raise her head.

“I’m hungry…….I don’t want to move!” Her eyes drifted and became disorganized. Her whole person was soft. “Give me something to eat otherwise, I will starve to death.”

Fang Qing Kui quickly lifted her eyes to look at the clock on the wall and snorted. “There is nothing left for you to do. You can go home.”

“I don’t want to go home.” Speaking up to here, the voice became even more lifeless. “That is obviously my mother but why does it look more like his mother?”

Now if she can stay a little while longer, she will stay longer. That is Zhen Lang’s home and she is not willing to go home so early to face him.

“Then you can continue being hungry.” Without even a little sympathy, Fang Qing Kui continued with her work and did not look up at the person who was sitting there.

The bell on the door tinkled. Fang Qing Kui did not look up and her sweet professional voice rang out. “Welcome……….”

The words had barely left her mouth and she had already noticed the appearance of the person walking in. She quickly suppressed the following words and nearly choked herself.

Looking carefully at the person, she confirmed that she had not recognized the person as someone else. Then she blinked again and opened her mouth. “Zhen……Zhen Lang?”

The person at the door had not spoken yet but the person in the chair had taken the lead and muttered. “I told you not to mention that guy in front of me if you don’t have anything to say. I swear if I have an ambiguous relationship with him, I will be flat-chested for the rest of my life. What’s more, marrying a man for physiological happiness * is very important. I mourn in silence for his future wife.”

(JS is insinuating that the size of ZL’s little brother is incapable of giving satisfaction to his future wife. She still has that image of him when they were 3 years old in her mind.)

You are already 25 years old…….do you think your breasts will still grow? As to Zhen Lang’s measurement, when have you seen it before? It is really worthy to fantasize…….

Fang Qing Kui, with a stomach full of mirth, looked at Zhen Lang with a fake smile. “I will get you a glass of water.”

The expression on his face did not change and he replied calmly. “No, thank you.”

The person who was lying on the table pretending to be dead raised her head on reflex with her eyes still in a blur. “Why do I seem to hear that guy’s voice? I must be dizzy due to hunger.”

Fang Qing Kui laughingly apologized to Zhen Lang. “She is hungry so her reaction is slow.”

Still expressionless, his gaze faintly swept over the person who was lying on the table like a dead dog. “I know.”

“Hey!” The weak person quickly jumped up as if charged with electricity. Standing far away, her eyes showed vigilance and she stared at Zhen Lang. “Why are you here?”

“Let’s go home together.” Zhen Lang smiled. The shroud of calmness was swept completely away. In Jia Shao’s eyes, his smiles were full of strangeness.

“No!” Resolutely and firmly she refused. Jia Shao frowned and raised her chin.

“Jia Mother said so.” The four short works deflated someone’s momentum and changed her back to a weak state.

“I still have something to do…….” The sentence was squeezed out without confidence.

Zhen Lang smiled. “Then I’ll wait for you.”

“You……” No matter how much she bit her teeth and showed a ferocious expression, she only received his bright handsome smile.

Zhen Lang sat down leisurely in the chair that she had sat on just now and his long slender fingers picked up a book as he nodded his head at her. “Go ahead and do whatever you have to do.”

“I……want……” Someone racked her brains to come up with a reasonable answer and suddenly she stiffened. “Ah…….I have an appointment for a blind date.”

Just now she was looking for an excuse but this time she finally remembered the one thing that she had thrown to the back of her mind which she had not done. n𝑂𝑽𝑬(𝐿𝒃)1n

Jia Shao used her fingers to rake through her hair, adjusted her crumpled shirt and then lifted her legs to rush out of the door.

“Wait!” Just as she reached the door, she was halted by the sweet voice of Fang Qing Kui. Jia Shao turned around and looked inexplicably at Fang Qing Kui. At the same time, she wiped her lips with her hands.

There is no soup stain, no food remnant, no saliva, then why did Fang Qing Kui call her?

Her fingers pointed at Jia Shao’s crumpled shirt and said. “Are you wearing that for the blind date?”

Without waiting for her answer, the toe of a high-heel shoe kicked at her comfortable travel sneakers. “Are you wearing this for the blind date?”

Then the disdainful gaze fell on her jeans. “Look at you. You’re so disgusting, why don’t you perk up your image?”

“Do I have to?” Jia Shao felt a little annoyed. “It is only a meeting. If it is not successful, so let it be.”

The seductive perfume scented body pulled up close to her and whispered into her ear. “If it is unsuccessful, Zhen Lang will laugh at you, right? So you have to dress up beautifully and try to catch a wealthy man to make him mad.”

It does not matter whether she can catch a wealthy man or not…… but if Zhen Lang knows about this……

Jia Shao glanced at the person sitting in the corner and boldly nodded her head. “Okay, you can dress me up!”
