Do you still need to pretend to be high and mighty?

Or is it a case of feigned indifference?

Jiang Zhi's thin lips were pursed, deep and cold!

Suddenly, he turned his wheelchair and approached Qiao Chu.

In an instant, a large hand pressed down on the guqin, pinning down Qiao Chu's hand.

The music stopped abruptly.

Qiao Chu was suddenly stunned for a moment, then met Jiang Zhi's gaze.

She could feel his warmth.

His large hand pressed down on hers, a feeling that was somewhat indescribable.

Instinctively, Qiao Chu tried to pull her hand back, but Jiang Zhi pressed down harder, making it impossible for her to move.

Jiang Zhi narrowed his deep eyes and stared at Qiao Chu.

"I don't have time to deal with you. The Jiang family doesn't owe anyone any favors."

That's outrageous!

Young Master Jiang is exceptionally arrogant!

Qiao Chu's eyes flashed with a cold light as she stared at Jiang Zhi.

She was a little angry too.

His voice instantly turned cold and hard.

“Young Master Jiang, saving people is my instinct, it has nothing to do with money or family background, you don’t need to take it to heart. And please rest assured, I, Qiao Chu, guarantee that I will not cause trouble for the Jiang family in the future, nor will I ask you for any benefits. If you don’t believe me, please sign an agreement with me to waive any reward.”

"You said you'd forgo the reward, so don't blame me for forcing you to sign!"

"It's a deal!" Qiao Chu struggled, but she still couldn't pry Jiang Zhi's hand off.

rogue!

Qiao Chu glared fiercely at Jiang Zhi.

"Okay! Sign it this afternoon." Jiang Zhi quickly moved his hand away.

A complex emotion flickered in his deep eyes.

This woman's hands are slender, smooth, and soft; they feel very comfortable to the touch!

For some inexplicable reason, he had a feeling he couldn't quite put into words just now.

Instinctively, Jiang Zhi felt quite uncomfortable with this feeling.

"Xiao Liu, let's go."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Liu still mustered up the courage to ask, "Miss Qiao, do you have any more flower cakes?"

Qiao Chu was taken aback for a moment.

The master and servant are worlds apart!

Xiao Liu is noticeably easy to get along with.

"Sorry, we don't have any! Um... would tofu pudding be okay?"

"Yes, yes!"

Qiao Chu went and got a small wooden bucket and gave it to Xiao Liu.

"When you eat it, add some honey, or you can add some coconut jelly or red beans. I've packed some for you."

Thank you so much!

"You're welcome! I was planning to give some to my neighbors!"

Jiang Zhi was left standing to the side, his sinister eyes fixed on Xiao Liu.

That's so embarrassing!

"Little Six, watch your behavior! Don't think I won't send you to work in the coal mines!"

"Master Zhi, let's go home right away. There won't be a next time."

Xiao Liu, carrying a small wooden bucket in one hand, pushed his wheelchair away with a silly grin.

living room

Jiang Zhi glared at Xiao Liu with annoyance.

"Haven't you ever eaten tofu pudding before? You're eating it like a starving ghost, it's disgusting!"

"Master Zhi, are you really not going to eat this? This tofu pudding is so tender, so smooth, so delicious! Adding some coconut jelly would make it even more delicious, and drizzling it with honey would make it fragrant and refreshing!"

Jiang Zhi said with utter disdain, "You act like you've been bought off just because someone gave you a little something. You're so spineless!"

Xiao Liu disagreed, thinking Miss Qiao was quite nice!

"The rice hasn't been cooked yet, are you really not going to eat?"

"I'm not eating! Go cook some rice!"

Holding a bowl of tofu pudding, Xiao Liu went into the kitchen.

*****

Jiang Zhi still glared at the tofu pudding with annoyance.

For some reason, he felt hungry!

Damn it, there are no snacks at home.

After hesitating for a few moments, he picked up a spoon and tried a little.

God knows, it's really good.

He was really hungry!

Jiang Zhi ate another spoonful of tofu pudding when he suddenly received a call from Nangong Jin.

“Zhi, Grandpa Jiang has had a coronary angiography, which confirmed a myocardial infarction. However, he refuses to have surgery. He's worried about complications during the surgery and fears he might never see you get married and have children. After the examination, his heart needs to be monitored for eight hours, but before that time was up, he started clamoring to be discharged.”
