Chapter 180: Extra: Kitty Plays Matchmaker - Part 1

"Are we going to look at wedding dresses later?" Qin Qingshang lay on the woman's lap, reaching out to stroke her hanging hair. "Qiuqiu, I suddenly feel like this is all a dream. I'm actually getting married!"

Tao Qiuyun was amused by her words. She sat up from the sofa and looked down at her. "We've been married for a long time, have you forgotten?"

"No wedding, just getting the certificate, it feels so lacking in atmosphere. The photo on our marriage certificate was taken in a hurry, not sweet at all," the cat complained, a little unhappy.

"Then as compensation, we'll take our wedding photos properly, okay?" Tao Qiuyun reached out and stroked her face. "We'll take lots of pictures. I've invited a professional team. The locations are tentatively set for the living room, bedroom, study, forest, and seaside. If you want to go to a snowy mountain, we can shoot there too."

"Then let's add some new outfits, and not such stiff poses, be a bit more relaxed," Qin Qingshang's inspiration struck.

"What kind of outfits and poses?"

"Like, a traditional Chinese wedding set too."

"That's doable," Tao Qiuyun nodded.

"And like, me pinning you down on the bed, tying your hands with your tie, and then biting your mouth."

"Why aren't you saying anything?" the cat asked her.

"Isn't that... a bit much?" The woman looked hesitant, giving Qin Qingshang a strange look, carefully choosing her words. "I didn't know you had this kind of... hobby."

Also, you really don't treat the photographer as an outsider!

"No, no~" The cat was embarrassed. "My hobby isn't weird. Seeing a beauty like CEO Tao, who wouldn't want to tie you up and have you all to themselves?"

Tao Qiuyun felt both helpless and amused. "If I satisfy your request, can you also satisfy my suggestion for the treadmill?"

"...The treadmill is so tiring. I'm doing this for your own good, Qiuqiu."

"For my good?"

"You're already thirty, it's time to protect your waist and legs. I'm not light either, it's tiring for you to carry me and run," the cat tried to negotiate.

Tao Qiuyun's face darkened. She leaned down and said, "Twenty-nine, not thirty yet. Qingshang, are you looking down on me?"

"No, no," the cat quickly shook her head. "Qiuqiu, you're in your prime, how could I look down on you! Look at Grandpa at his age, he's still walking like the wind, faster than Big Bold runs. If we both exercise well, we can fight until we're seventy or eighty!"

Tao Qiuyun lowered her head and kissed her. As Qin Qingshang laughed and said it tickled, reaching out to push her away, her hand slowly slid down, exploring under her clothes. She teased, "Oh? In my prime?"

"Stop, stop, stop, we really can't do this again." Qin Qingshang grabbed her hand, regretting that she couldn't resist teasing her just now. "Do you want to be complained about by the neighbors?"

"Qingshang, you're so cute. Don't you know West Wind Courtyard is famous for its soundproofing? Also, the balcony glass has excellent soundproofing."

"...Liar!"

Just as the cat's body softened and she gave up resisting, Tao Qiuyun's phone rang. She picked it up, and her brows furrowed. "Teacher Chang? Why is she calling me at this time?"

At this time, kindergarten should still be in session.

"Did something happen to Qinqin?" Qin Qingshang sat up from the woman's embrace.

"Hello? Teacher Chang," Tao Qiuyun answered the call, putting it on speaker so the cat could hear. "May I ask..."

"CEO Tao!" Chang Suiyou's voice was urgent. "Can you come to the school? Something happened to Qinqin!"

The two on the sofa stood up abruptly, nervously asking, "What happened to Qinqin?"

"She... it's a bit complicated. It's best if a parent comes over. Can you come to the school first?" There was a lot of background noise on Chang Suiyou's end, seemingly a heated argument. "But Qinqin is fine. It's Miss Su... Miss Su who got hurt."

Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang were worried. After saying "We'll be right there," they hung up, grabbed their coats, and left.

The Bentayga went full throttle, leaving a trail of dust, and quickly arrived at the kindergarten entrance. They didn't even need to look for where the incident happened, because a crowd had gathered at the entrance, seemingly watching the commotion. Tao Qiuyun parked the car in a spot and squeezed into the crowd with Qin Qingshang.

After finally breaking through the crowd of onlookers, the cause and effect of the incident became clear through everyone's words...

Su Qingxiang brought Tao Aiqin to school as usual. Teachers usually pick up children at the school gate, but today was different. One of Chang Suiyou's blind date partners brought a large group of relatives to cause trouble, insisting that Chang Suiyou had agreed to marry him and had even accepted the betrothal gifts, but then went back on her word. Blocking her home didn't work, so he found a group of helpers to cause trouble at her workplace, trying to force her to comply.

Onlooker A: Those people said that man was the only college student in their village, honest and ambitious, and all the unmarried girls in the village wanted to marry him. And their village values women's virtue the most, saying that women who look cheap like Qin Qingshang and Ming Siwen aren't fit to enter their village, only honest girls like Teacher Chang are... Bah! As if they're worthy!

Onlooker B: When I heard that, I immediately wanted to give him a big slap! Dreaming before the sky is even dark.

Onlooker C: Teacher Chang said she didn't accept the betrothal gifts, that man gave her parents two chickens, and she only found out about it later, even transferring money back as payment. I was shocked. For a village like that, I suggest the authorities investigate. These kind of unruly people might be doing something unspeakable in private!

Onlooker D: The subsequent development of the incident is obvious. The young mother watching seemed to be friends with Teacher Chang. She clearly didn't like this kind of thinking, so she immediately argued with that group. Those people said, "Women are unwanted when they get old," and that girl said, "Men start going downhill after twenty-five." Those people said, "We're full of life now," and that girl said, "Actually, sperm quality has declined and is deteriorating year by year, affecting the development of the next generation, increasing the birth rate of deformed children, and ultimately leading to infertility." Those people said, "Then Teacher Chang at this age probably can't give birth to a good child." That girl said, "Two women can have healthy children whenever they want"... I'm so tired from saying so much, someone take over.

Onlooker E: Then that group was stunned. After a long time, a strong man jumped out and said, "So you're a lesbian, how disgusting. You must have never tasted a man's flavor." I'm a clean freak, repeating this kind of talk makes me uncomfortable, I'll rinse my mouth first... Then that girl said, "If you have a wife, then your wife must have never dated a girlfriend, or was she abducted? Do you need me to call the police?" Then that group lost it. That strong man grabbed that girl by the neck and even hit her!

Onlooker F: We were scared stiff and hadn't reacted yet when we suddenly saw a little kid dragging a long stick from somewhere. She might have wanted to help, then she accidentally ran too fast, tripped, and the stick poked right between that strong man's legs... Good heavens, that guy wasn't Iron Egg Man, that poke made him immediately let go, fall to the ground, and roll around. Then the scene became chaotic, but we were prepared by then. We bravely stepped forward to act righteously, stopped these people's violence, and helped call 110. I just want to say, the little girl did great! Just don't know if the big girl is okay.

The onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, gathered at the kindergarten entrance. After all, the people had been taken to the office inside by the police for mediation and questioning. They weren't just watching for fun, they simply couldn't swallow this anger. They all felt that this group must be severely punished, they were too arrogant. Were they living in a few centuries ago?

Just listening, Tao Qiuyun was already burning with anger. These people bullied her daughter, slandered her wife and her wife's best friend, threatened her daughter's teacher, and even hit her best friend...

She decisively took out her phone and contacted her lawyer and the authorities. She would absolutely not let this matter rest!

Qin Qingshang was also fired up. She pulled out her phone, grabbed Tao Qiuyun's sleeve, and rushed into the kindergarten. If this matter didn't get a satisfactory result, she would expose them!

"Qiuqiu?" Su Qingxiang, leading Tao Aiqin out, happened to run into the furious wife and wife. She quickly stopped them. "Don't waste your emotions on scumbags. I've handled everything."

"Auntie Xiang is so awesome~" The little cat's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Tao Qiuyun's heart ached, and Qin Qingshang immediately picked up her daughter, saying softly, "Was Qinqin scared? Does anything hurt?"

"No," the little one shook her head and hugged Qin Qingshang, softly saying, "Mommy, don't worry, Auntie Xiang is hurt."

"Are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up." Tao Qiuyun noticed the gauze on Su Qingxiang's hand. "Your hand..."

"I'm a doctor, I know. I didn't break any bones, but those people are crying and wailing inside now," Su Qingxiang sneered. "They really thought everyone was like their isolated village. I asked them if they knew what price they'd pay for injuring these hands of mine, and they still thought being poor made them right and didn't want to pay compensation. But when they saw that the police who came weren't ordinary police, they started acting pitiful."

"Right, those hands of yours are so precious." Only then did Tao Qiuyun realize Su Qingxiang's capability. She alone could severely punish this group. The Su family has been practicing medicine for generations, and Su Qingxiang herself is very strong. On the surface, she's the director and doctor of Su's Hospital, but everyone knows that a doctor of her level can give someone another life when necessary. No country would be unwilling to protect a doctor, a doctor who can save lives.

"But you are you. They provoked you, they should be punished," Tao Qiuyun looked at her. "They provoked me, and I will also punish them. I think that village should also be investigated. I'm very happy to serve the country and clear out the tumors."

"Among merchants, your Tao family is the shrewdest!" Su Qingxiang teased her, but she quickly sighed. "However, because of this incident, Teacher Chang has voluntarily resigned."

"Huh?" Qin Qingshang frowned. "Teacher Chang didn't do anything wrong, why..."

"She said the impact was huge, she doesn't want to implicate the school, and she doesn't want the children to be harassed by some unscrupulous media. She's also planning to use this opportunity to completely cut ties with her family and leave Tianhua City."

Just as Tao Qiuyun was thinking about how to comfort her friend, Su Qingxiang raised her injured left hand and continued, "My hand is injured, and I can't work, so I have to reluctantly take a break for a while. Teacher Chang going to Linhai City alone to relax is a bit lonely, so I'll go with her."

"..." It had to be you.

"Right?" Su Qingxiang smiled and rubbed the cat in Qin Qingshang's arms with her right hand. "Thanks to Qinqin for reminding me, otherwise I would have been left behind by Teacher Chang. Qinqin, come to Linhai City to play with Auntie Xiang when you're free!"

"Okay, okay," the cat nodded.

Qin Qingshang looked at Su Qingxiang, then turned to stare at Tao Aiqin, feeling a bit emotional...

Could her daughter be some kind of Cupid reincarnated? You're so skilled at pulling red strings?
