Upon winning the championship, everyone was overjoyed. With the help of the staff on shore, the team members disembarked in order from the stern of the boat.
Their legs and arms felt numb, but the release of hormones after the exercise also brought them a sense of exhilaration.
Grace was the second to last to get off the boat, trembling all over and almost losing her balance.
Fortunately, someone supported her, otherwise, she suspected she might have swayed and fallen into the river.
"You worked hard, you worked hard."
A staff member handed her a cup of cooling tea.
As Grace was drinking, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy, as if a mountain had landed on it.
Qin Yunxi had been rowing with all his might, dragging the entire boat, and had not rested from start to finish.
His endurance, stamina, and willpower were absolutely top-notch, like a fighter jet.
But even with excellent physical condition, he couldn't withstand the fatigue from overexertion. His legs felt weak, his head was a little dizzy, and his whole body leaned back.
Acting on instinct, he reached out to grab something, and his hand landed squarely on Grace's shoulder.
Grace, who was drinking tea, suddenly felt a burning itch on her shoulder and in her ears. She felt as if her capillaries were standing on end.
Danger was approaching!
No, it was a wave of intensely stimulating aura swirling around her ear.
Grace stiffened and glared fiercely at Qin Yunxi, "Move! Get away from me!"
Qin Yunxi was already in a bad mood today. He had been dragged out of bed by his mother early in the morning and then by his father onto the plane.
He knew without a doubt that his parents were here to see Grace.
What a joke!
That ugly woman—
Why on earth did his mother think he would be able to stomach her?
Not only was she ugly, but she also had a bad temper.
At this moment, seeing her disgusted expression, he became even angrier. "Heh—"
He clicked his tongue and sneered at her, "I won't move!"
"Woman, you belong to me today!"
He had no intention of taking Grace; he was purely trying to provoke her.
Didn't she find him displeasing? Didn't she hate him? Didn't she despise him?
Then he would "haunt" her relentlessly. After all, this was something his parents would be delighted to see.
Grace looked utterly horrified: "!!!!"
What?
What was Qin the scum saying?
"Get lost!"
Without hesitation, without a second thought, Grace kicked Qin Yunxi.
"Plop—"
The man, who had just landed, was now dismally falling back into the water.
"Gulp—"
Completely caught off guard, Mr. Qin choked on water, "Damn it!"
"Grace—"
You damned woman!
Grace snorted, not even glancing at the man who was now like a drowned rat.
Serves him right!
For being so foul-mouthed!
Zhan Lan, who had witnessed the entire incident from the shore, stood there, speechless.
Her mouth formed an "O" shape; it was simply too, too, too—too shocking!
She had actually seen a woman dare to kick her son!
A hero!
A heroine!
Finally, someone dared to deal with her son, who was more of a scoundrel than the king of chaos?
Hahahaha…
No!
She had to secure this young girl and make sure she married her wayward son.
Yes, she would also give Grace the confidence!
If her son resorted to dirty tricks or was too overbearing, she, as his mother, would definitely help Grace!
Zhan Lan watched with immense excitement, every cell in her body buzzing with fervor. Without a trace of hesitation, she took off the jade bracelet, worth hundreds of millions of RMB, that she wore on her wrist and handed it to Feng Linwan, saying:
"Wanwan, please change Grace's reward to this later."
Feng Linwan's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, "Isn't this—"
Zhan Lan was exceptionally firm, "It's her!"
"My Qin family will betroth her as our daughter-in-law."
