Ji Xiao Li sat a meter away from the man, not daring to get closer, sitting up straight like a little student, while the man was like a strict and serious teacher.
"What's your name?" The man seemed to be teasing a cat, lazily plucking a small tangerine and putting it in his mouth, asking with a lack of enthusiasm.
"Passerby A!"
"Is passerby B, C, D your sister or younger sister?"
“……”
"Can't tell the truth?" The man laughed very happily, and the assistant beside him seemed to have seen his own BOSS laugh so happily for a long time. This woman didn't seem particularly beautiful, but then he discovered something very interesting.
Ji Xiaoli's courage had grown at this point, and she glared at him: "Sir, are you still planning to ask me about my ancestors eight generations back? Isn't that going a bit too far?"
"Not far away, if you say something I will definitely listen." The man floated out a sentence with a light tone, startling Ji Xiaoli.
Aren't you bored?
The man raised an eyebrow, put down the wine glass in his hand, and hooked his lips: "Don't you think it's better to say something at this time? If not, we can do something. You can choose one to execute!"
Talk is cheap! Ji Xiaoli was so angry that she wanted to punch the ground, fortunately she had previously regarded this man as a benefactor, at that time she must have thought too much! What a shameless rogue of a man!
"Well, I suppose I should say something... actually, I have a suggestion."
"Really?"
"Since you want to do it so much, go ahead... Isn't that a beautiful girl next to you? If you're going to do it, I'll try my best to pretend I didn't see anything..."
"You also said it's just a try! You're going to take everything from me, don't you think I'm being taken advantage of? How about..." The man's gaze seemed too fiery, and Ji Xiaoli felt like killing him again.
"I think it's better if we continue talking, I suddenly thought of something, the man who came in earlier called you Lu Shao, is he afraid of you?" Ji Xiao Li was trying to find a topic to talk about, but this was indeed something she was very curious about.
That scar-faced man was always so arrogant, but now he's retreated quietly, which means this man is definitely not simple!
"Do you want to know?"
Ji Xiaoli looked at that seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling face, and had a somewhat bad premonition, so she retreated back a bit. Sure enough, that person patted his thigh and said without any reserve: "Come sit down, then I'll tell you!"
"Actually, I didn't really want to know..." Ji Xiao Li dryly laughed twice, but the woman leaning on the man's other side had already burst out laughing, seemingly mocking her cowardice.
If the usual provocative method still had some effect on her, then at this time that little bit of provocative method was completely useless! She was now completely adopting an attitude of avoiding this man like a snake and scorpion, and would have liked the two to be separated by ten thousand eight thousand miles.
The man chuckled lowly and didn't really pull the person over, but at this time a scream came from outside the door. The voice was that of the scar-faced man. Ji Xiaoli seemed to sense something and jumped up from the sofa, intending to go out... But seemed to have thought of something and hid behind the door to listen to the voices outside.
That cautious posture made Lu Mingze laugh again. This woman reminded him of the British Shorthair cat he had raised three years ago, which would lazily bask in the sun by the window all day, but as soon as someone invaded its territory, it would stand up straight and retreat...
Ji Xiaoli didn't know that she had already been regarded as a pet, and she listened intently to the movements outside. However, it seemed like she couldn't hear anything else, and the outside was quiet, as if the scream from earlier was just an illusion.
She was like a scout, crouching behind the door, her body slightly leaning forward, her eyes wide open, waiting for what seemed to be footsteps to come out, when suddenly someone pushed the door and came in, poor her being ignored at the doorway.
"Qin San?" Lu Mingze naturally recognized the man who had burst in, although he was only wearing a black shirt and not his military uniform, and it had been several years since they last met.
Qin Zhenyang seemed unfamiliar with him, furrowed his brow, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Who is this?"
"Lu Mingze." The man only said the name, but just like that, Qin Zhenyang was able to think of some things. Qidong Group in the neighboring city occupies a large share of the business world, and it's unlikely that he wouldn't know about it.
Qin Zhenyang was anxious at this time, knowing that after 'seven nights', he would immediately bring people to sneak in. As expected, they caught the men with scars on their faces, but the person was not in their hands and had run away?
He should be grateful, but now he's run away, where can a person go? The guests of 'Seven Nights' are very chaotic, they receive all kinds of people, especially many from the underworld, this is also what he worries about the most...
Qin Zhenyang didn't plan to exchange pleasantries with the young master of Qidong Group, so he just nodded politely and was about to leave. At this moment, a disheveled woman suddenly rushed over and threw herself into his arms... He was ready to throw her away casually, but fortunately, after seeing her face clearly, he didn't do so, otherwise it might not have been as simple as sleeping in the study for a week.
The little guy looked terrible, his hair was messy and his clothes were disheveled. Especially when he saw this, Qin Zhenyang's eyes began to emit a fierce killing intent, as if he wanted to drag those few scoundrels out and shoot them immediately!
"How come you're barefoot?" Qin Zhenyang also noticed that she didn't even have a shoe on her feet, and the white and tender soles of her feet still had dry bloodstains on them. He seemed to be able to imagine what she had just gone through, and his expression became even colder.
Ji Xiao Li felt the warmth of the man's embrace, and for a moment, she didn't plan to move away. Her hands tightly encircled the man's strong waist, and she buried her face in his chest, muttering: "If I weren't barefoot, I'd probably be done for by now..."
It's all because of high heels, but usually Ji Xiao Li goes out in flat shoes, it's rare to win once, and she has to say that her character is really very good.
"Never mind, let's talk about this later. How did you end up in his room?" For some reason, Qin Sanye, who had been smiling and looking at Lu Mingze just now, suddenly looked a bit unpleasant, and the originally gentle Lu Shao suddenly turned cold and became another person!
Lu Mingze smiled faintly and remained silent, nor did he explain, but instead looked at the woman as she explained.
The right to explain fell on Ji Xiaoli, she scratched her hair, "It was Mr. Lu who helped me, someone had already discovered me just now, I happened to rush in, and Mr. Lu covered for me, so I managed to hide."
Is that so? Qin Zhenyang's inquiring gaze swept past, but Lu Mingze's expression remained light and calm, unable to discern any issues. He didn't bother asking again, instead nodding towards the person on the sofa: "Thanks for your help this time, Young Master Lu."
"Easy to say!" Lu Mingze's lips curled up, and the red wine in his hand swayed back and forth. In his mind, what he meant by "easy to say" was not referring to Qin San, but rather his wife! The rigid and dull Qin San was really too boring, whereas his daughter-in-law seemed much more interesting than him!
Tea Master seemed to have noticed this too, but could only pretend he hadn't seen or known anything, after all, it's a bit...for a married woman to be thinking about someone else.
Li Te helped pushed aside the woman next to him and walked over to ask, "Boss, aren't you usually someone who doesn't like to get involved in other people's business? Was helping Qin's wife just now because of what happened with the stocks before?"
Lu Mingze seems to be a spoiled rich kid, being affectionate towards women, but Li Tezhu knows that the boss is actually an extremely cold and ruthless person, so it's quite strange that he would say something like this today.
That woman, Li Tezhu, had certainly seen it before. Once upon a time, there was a stock market anomaly that created a "ghost stock". The woman suddenly made nearly 2 million yuan from it. He could try to see if he could get a glimpse of it in his eyes. Was the boss moved because of this?
Lu Mingze's expression didn't change much, pinching the small golden tangerine in his hand, seemingly lost in thought. However, a spark of interest flickered in his dark eyes, "Is it or isn't it..."
This woman may not have much talent, but she can make money. Not many people can win the appreciation of Lu Dashi, this woman indeed has her value. And a woman who can be favored by Qin San Ye, the cold and powerful king, how could she be bad?
What's the big deal about being a married woman, anyway? The outside world hasn't even announced their marriage yet, and anything can change, right? Although Lu Mingze didn't say anything, Li Tezhu started to get a headache again - his young master was having those kinds of thoughts again.
"Later, help me check on that woman's information and have it delivered to me within these two weeks."
Li Te's eyes welled up with tears, if the chairman found out, he would definitely blame him. He remembered that just last weekend, the chairman had introduced a wealthy family to the young master, and they had taken a liking to him, but this girl had only shown her face once and there was no further news.
"Does it hurt?" Qin Zhenyang looked at his wife's white and tender feet, this time the back of her feet were fine, but the soles were scratched several times, those little red marks looked painful to him.
Ji Xiaoli clenched her teeth and forced a laugh: "It was quite painful just now, but it's much better now... after applying the medicine, it'll be fine in two days."
"Sorry, I'm late!" The usually tough Qin San Ye was now full of tender feelings, placing the little foot on his thigh and blowing on it gently.
Ji Xiaoli's feet were itchy from being blown on, and she pulled them back, "Didn't Tao Xiaoning's ointment still exist last time? It's just right to use it now."
Qin Zhenyang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The medicine was effective, but even so, he didn't want her to always have something happen to her, it would hurt his heart.
"We'll go back first, I'll give you an account of this matter!"
This thing was done by the people of Hu Bang, but it has been learned from Zhao's mouth that Wang Qiuhai, the leader of Hu Bang, didn't know about this matter at all. However, since he promised to thoroughly investigate, it shouldn't be possible for him to let it slide.
Moreover, apart from him, there is also the Zhao family watching from the side. He believes that Wang Qiuhu will make the most accurate decision, after all, this concerns the survival of the Tiger Gang and its future development!
As for the mastermind behind the scenes, even if he didn't investigate, he could still guess a few points! It's just that letting people thoroughly investigate is all about evidence! Once or twice secretly taking ruthless action, does he really think he can consider it as if nothing happened to the Qin family?
This time it's impossible, that person has reached his bottom line! Heaven knows how he spent the past hour, he can't imagine what he would do if something happened to her.
Ji Xiaoli looked at the man's cold and hard face, feeling a little heartache, sighed, her small hand reached out to smooth his tightly furrowed eyebrows.
"Zhenyang?"
The man turned his head and looked at her, "Huh?"
"Don't frown, I know you're worried, but I'm fine now, it's thanks to you. From now on, I'll take good care of myself, and learn martial arts well with Luo sister, so I won't get hurt or get into trouble, and I won't be a burden to you. Is that okay?" Ji Xiaoli smiled slightly, her clear eyes sparkling with an unknown emotion, which once again touched Qin Zhenyang's heart.
