Chapter 81: Eighty-one billion "Why are you getting more and more ruthless?" ...

Jin Jingfang clenched his fists and looked sharply at Tan Jingfan who appeared lightly and spoke a few words.

To be honest, they had only met a few times.

From a young age, Jin Jingfang knew that the Tan family was a family of scholars and wealth. When his father brought Tan Tan home, she was gentle and generous, which only deepened his impression of the Tan family's wealth.

At that time, in the eyes of the naive teenager Jin Jingfang, the Tan family was synonymous with politeness and proper conduct.

However, the Tan family discovered that after Tan Tan returned to the Jin family, when they went to see Tan Tan, his behavior was not the "scholar" he had imagined.

Five or six bodyguards in black followed an old man with a white beard. The old man, who was leaning on a cane and had a face full of flesh, pushed the door open and walked in without caring about the younger sister who was still sleeping soundly and had just turned one month old. He let her cry after being woken up, and the sound filled the small old house. However, the Tan family was indifferent and just grabbed Tan Tan tightly, wanting to take the younger sister's mother away.

From that moment on, Jin Jingfang knew that he and the Tan family could never be on the same side.

Later, he met Tan Jingfan, who was of the same age, once or twice. The little boy was very proud, and Tan Jingfan always felt that he had stolen his mother away. Naturally, they had a quarrel, swore harsh words to each other, and even fought.

After growing up, except for the last "chance encounter" in the alley, both of them deliberately avoided each other.

And now, even though they knew that they were rivals in love, Tan Jingfan suddenly appeared with five or six bodyguards behind him, as arrogant as when they first met.

Anger suddenly rose in Jin Jingfang's mind.

"What do you mean?" He lowered his eyelids, and flames burned in his black and white pupils.

Tan Jingfan remained calm and gently turned the beads in his left hand. "This is my friend's shop. Based on our relationship, I don't think you should be here."

Jin Jingfang frowned, glanced inside the store, and then looked at Tan Jingfan.

Friend? Isn't he also a love rival?

If he knew that Xin Jingli was in the store now, would he still be able to say the word "friend"?

But he didn't say it, for fear that Tan Jingfan would find out and go in to cause trouble, making the situation even more uncontrollable.

"Get out of the way, I have something to do." Jin Jingfang wanted to push him away.

The bodyguards behind Tan Jingfan immediately pressed forward, looking as if they were going to fight him.

"What do you want to do?" Jin Jingfang became alert.

Now he is Xin Jingli's bodyguard. Fighting with others during the mission is against the rules, so he stopped and did not move forward.

Tan Jingfan put away the beads and raised his chin to the side. "Can you talk for a moment? Can you talk about Jing Luo's recovery after the operation?"

"You don't need to worry about my sister's affairs."

"But as her brother, you haven't had time to be with her during this period. As long as she doesn't tell you what happened, you think she's fine."

"you……"

Hearing Tan Jingfan say this, Jin Jing became more cautious.

He cannot leave Xin Jingli's side for 24 hours. His sister's health is gradually recovering. They communicate with each other through video chats on weekdays. Every time, his sister smiles happily and never mentions anything sad.

"What if she is hospitalized alone and someone bullies her? What if the hired caregiver abuses the child? Have you ever considered this?" Tan Jingfan continued to add.

Tan Jingfan did not lie about this matter.

Although he had not met Jin Jingluo many times, they were related by blood after all. Since she fell ill, he had ordered people to secretly keep an eye on her and protect her.

Jin Jingfang had always been by her side, but suddenly disappeared for a while and became a caregiver to take care of Jin Jingluo.

Jin Jingluo tried again and again to escape from the care of the nurse and ran out to find Jin Jingfang. Tan Jingfan realized something was wrong and sent someone to investigate.

Only then did I realize that the so-called caregivers were actually liars.

Jin Jingfang had never been involved in any nursing company before. In addition, he was in a hurry to be Xin Jingli's bodyguard at the time, and time was tight, so he had no time to choose carefully. He thought that the more expensive the price, the more formal and safer it was, so he chose this nurse.

The so-called caregiver was actually just a money-swindler. She took advantage of the child's timidity and threatened him twice so that he didn't dare to tell the truth. Apart from giving him some food to keep him alive every day, she didn't take care of him seriously at all. She also secretly took away the living expenses that Jin Jingfang gave to Jin Jingluo and threatened her not to tell anyone.

Fortunately, the discovery was made in time. Tan Jingfan had the caregiver's company thoroughly investigated, and asked his men to pretend to be caregivers and watch Jin Jingluo 24 hours a day.

Jin Jingfang really didn't know all this.

After saying this, a long time had passed.

"Now, do you still think I have hostility towards Jin Jingluo?" Tan Jingfan played with the beads, silently waiting for Jin Jingfang's phone to ring.

As expected.

Buzz-

The phone vibrated.

Xin Jingli: [I was having lunch nearby. I didn't see you coming over just now. Did something happen?]

Jin Jingfang looked up suddenly. He didn't know when Xin Jingli had come out of the 4S shop and walked into the restaurant not far away with Qin Qing.

It's over. They were just distracted by Tan Jingfan, delaying time and leaving them alone in the store. Now they are having dinner together. They can't really be together, right?

Jin Jingfang looked at Tan Jingfan angrily, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

I wanted to ask him what Tan Jingfan would think if he knew that he had just "caused trouble" and made Xin Jingli alone with another man.

But if he spoke up, he was afraid that the fact that the four of them were secretly watching Tan Jingfan and the others would be exposed, so he simply swallowed his anger.

[Sorry, there was a little incident. I'm nearby, don't worry.] Jin Jingfang replied to Xin Jingli's message.

Not wanting Xin Jingli to think that he had deserted his post, Jin Jingfang didn't say what had happened.

After sending the message, he looked up again and saw Tan Jingfan saying, "If a grown man like you can't even take care of his sister, then let her go back to the Tan family."

As he turned to leave, Tan Jingfan curled the corners of his mouth.

The timing is just right.

Tan Jingfan originally didn't want to meet Jin Jingfang, let alone tell Jin Jingfang about this matter. However, if he didn't say so, based on Jin Jingfang's fighting strength, these five or six bodyguards would not be able to control him at all.

Besides, they didn't get along well to begin with. If he hadn't revealed some useful information, Jin Jingfang would have pushed him into the store long ago. How could he have listened to him patiently for so long, and how could he have allowed Qin Qing to successfully make an appointment with Xin Jingli?

Back in the car, looking at the restaurant entrance with relief, Tan Jingfan felt very uncomfortable.

He actually acted as a wingman for his love rival and let him have lunch with the girl he liked?

It would be a joke if it got out.

He gripped the steering wheel and reluctantly sent a message to the "Chasing Her Alliance" group: "Everything is done."

Qin Qing: [Have all four been dealt with? ]

Jingyun: [Hmm.]

Xi Jiyu: [Xia He is here, no problem.]

Tan Jingfan tapped the side of his phone with his fingertips, looking thoughtful, and replied: [Yes, it's all done, no one will bother you anymore.]

After sending, another chat page was switched.

There were only three people in the group, Xi Jiyu, Jingyun and him.

Tan Jingfan: [Whose western-style restaurant is that next to the 4S shop? Qin Qing and Xin Jingli are inside.]

Jingyun: [Isn't my restaurant right behind the 4S store? He didn't choose my side. Is he wary of us?]

Xi Jiyu: [That store seems to have just opened. I haven't heard of its history.]

Jingyun: [Leave it to me, as for the catering.]

-

On the other side, not long ago.

Xin Jingli started from Chenhong and arrived at the 4S store smoothly, and had no idea what happened in between.

When you enter the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the legally modified Ferrari.

The black and white car body is cool, and the frame feels thick. When you sit in the driver's seat and close the door, a heavy metallic sound is heard, like a golden bell, giving you a full sense of security.

It seems that the Qin family really dotes on Qin Qing and they actually spend so much time and effort on him.

Xin Jingli was very satisfied. She patted the steering wheel and looked at Qin Qing who was standing next to the driver's door. "Not bad, just name your price. I need it in the next two days."

Qin Qing leaned one hand on the car window, bent down and leaned close to her cheek, looking inside the car, his eyebrows and eyes affectionate, and said seriously: "No need, I'll take you there."

A pleasant scent of perfume came over, and Xin Jingli couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Qin Qing had indeed never been in love. All her thoughts were expressed on her face, in her carefully dressed clothes, and in her slightly nervous and pursed lips.

Clean and simple.

It is completely different from the scumbag-looking feeling brought by the naturally upturned eye tails.

Xin Jingli found it inexplicably cute.

"No, it's calculated based on the price." She raised the corner of her mouth and looked back at Qin Qing.

The man's face had clear and smooth contours, and his facial features were strong. He had been pretending to be calm, but when they looked at each other, his thin lips opened slightly, his pupils trembled, and he took a breath.

As if frozen, he remained still for two seconds, his gaze slowly falling on her lips. Remembering that he had kissed that place in the car before, he couldn't help but feel his Adam's apple rolling.

Qin Qing blinked, cleared his throat, coughed twice, and didn't know where to put his hands, so he just scratched his temples with his index finger.

Looks very busy.

"No... no need. How about this, it's almost lunch time. I'll treat you to a meal and we can chat slowly."

Xin Jingli nodded, "Okay, where should we eat?"

In addition to buying a car with a high safety factor, she also had other things to ask Qin Qing to do. It was indeed dinner time, so it would be more convenient to talk while eating.

Perhaps he didn't expect her to agree so quickly, so Qin Qing said "Huh?" and immediately came to his senses. "It's right next door, a newly opened restaurant, just two steps away."

Xin Jingli opened the car door and got out. "Okay."

The restaurant is really near the 4S store.

As soon as he entered the door, he was hit by the comfortable air-conditioning temperature and the faint fragrance of food, which made Xin Jingli swallow his saliva unconsciously.

The dining area was in the top floor hall, and there were only the two of them.

The restaurant has a French restaurant style, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, overlooking the entire Dongcheng scenery. There is a violin performance in the center of the restaurant, which is elegant and grand.

As soon as we were seated, the waiter, dressed in a neat uniform, handed us the menu.

When Xin Jingli saw it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

All of them were her favorite foods: French foie gras, squirrel fish, tomato beef stew, sweet and sour spare ribs, white wine stewed mussels, traditional Chinese soup, etc.

Although it is decorated as a French restaurant, the dishes are surprisingly diverse, both domestic and foreign.

She likes to mix and match, but unfortunately there are very few restaurants that offer this kind of dishes. She didn't expect to come across one today.

I ordered a few of my usual dishes. The waiter took the menu, said "Please wait a moment" and left.

Xin Jingli smiled at Qin Qing and couldn't wait to share, "This restaurant is very much to my taste. I will probably come here often in the future."

Qin Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, "I happen to be near the 4S store. If you come, can we come together?"

Seeing Xin Jingli nod, Qin Qing silently shouted in his heart: "Yes! The plan is successful!"

This restaurant was opened not long ago by him.

When she first went to Xin Jingli's villa, she saw a table full of dishes, and the few items that were prominent on the menu were the ones closest to her.

Thinking that she must love to eat, Qin Qing secretly wrote it down and planned to learn to cook by himself so that they could have three meals a day together in the future.

Later, knowing that Jingyun was his love rival, Qin Qing gave up the idea.

Jingyun is an excellent cook, Xin Jingli even personally asked Jingyun to cook. If he starts learning now, he is afraid he will not be able to win.

So he came up with this idea.

Most restaurants are classified into categories, and there are very few with mixed styles. If you open a restaurant that specializes in serving her favorite dishes, you can capture her appetite and encourage her to come here more often. Not only can you meet more often, but you can also eat together, killing two birds with one stone.

Although on the surface we are allying with our brothers, kick those four people out first.

But in the final analysis, Xin Jingli will only choose one person in the end, and they still have to fight. During the cooperation, second-hand preparations must be made.

If he quietly eliminates Jingyun's strengths now, he will have a better chance of winning in the future fight.

At this moment, hearing Xin Jingli's praise, Qin Qing felt that he had already won.

Those fools were still trying their best to help him, but who knew that he had planned it all in advance. Since he failed to confess his feelings the first time, he planned to do it again in this restaurant.

Regardless of whether she agrees or not, show your sincerity first.

Qin Qing cleared his throat and waved behind him, "Waiter."

This is the signal, and the waiter will bring roses, diamond necklaces, bracelets, etc. according to the originally planned route.

At that time, accompanied by violin music, he held the rose, slowly walked up to her and gave it to her, said a few heartfelt words, and then put the necklace on her finger, and the whole atmosphere was natural.

Even if she doesn't choose him now, at least the balance in her heart will tilt towards him.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Qin Qing looked at Xin Jingli, her eyes smiling and full of affection.

Xin Jingli was confused by what he saw.

They were chatting happily, why did Qin Qing suddenly become so excited?

Will it always be so strange after the favorability reaches 90 points?

Yes, everyone would be happy to eat with the one they love.

Xin Jingli didn't take it seriously and smiled at him.

The next second, a girl's scolding voice was heard from the door of the hall where they were the only ones dining.

"What are you doing? We agreed to have dinner, why are you giving me this?!"

The two of them looked in the direction of the voice at the same time.

The boy was holding a rose in his arms, his face full of embarrassment. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold the girl's hand and explained, "I just wanted to give you a gift to express my feelings. It's okay if you don't like it. I..."

"Expressing your feelings?" The girl shook off the boy's hand, crossed her arms, and sneered, "I think you're trying to embarrass me. We clearly agreed to just have lunch and be friends! But you gave me such ugly roses in public! So tacky! And these diamond accessories, what are you trying to do? Force me to agree to be with you?"

"I didn't, I just..." The boy lowered his head, clutching the rose at a loss, "I just want you to consider me..."

Qin Qing blinked, not knowing where these two people came from.

It was agreed that there would be only two of them on this floor, so how could there be a stranger here?

Perhaps noticing their stares, the girl tutted at the boy and said, "This is so embarrassing! Get out of here!"

He then pulled the boy away from the scene.

Xin Jingli frowned and looked in the direction they left, muttering, "Indeed, if we agreed in advance that we were just going to have a meal, and the boy suddenly did this, it would really be difficult for the girl."

If I put myself in his shoes, I would feel socially devastated if so many people made fun of me for no reason.

Xin Jingli just said it casually, but Qin Qing was shocked.

She seems to hate this kind of session...

That……

He slowly turned around and saw a waiter pushing a cart with roses bigger than the boys' on it, about to walk out from behind Xin Jingli.

With that scene just now and what Xin Jingli said, hadn't his carefully planned surprise been a complete disaster?!

After realizing what was happening, Qin Qing's face changed drastically. He immediately shook his head and winked at the waitress, asking her to go back.

The waiter was puzzled and thought Qin Qing thought she was too slow, so she took bigger steps.

Qin Qing quickly stood up, pretending to help Xin Jingli pour water and sort the dishes. He turned his back and gestured to the waiter: "Get out! This part is cancelled!"

The waiter just walked to the side, but had no choice but to go back.

Qin Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief after all the waiters disappeared.

It almost backfired, luckily the couple showed up in time. It turned out that Xin Jingli didn't like this style.

"What's wrong?" Xin Jingli was puzzled as he watched Qin Qing arrange the tableware for him, mess it up, and then rearrange it again.

Following his gaze, the couple had disappeared.

"What are you looking at?" Xin Jingli asked, tilting his head.

"Ah? Oh, it's okay." Qin Qing came back to his senses, smiled, and walked back to his seat, puzzled.

Where did that couple come from?

He looked over again, and there was nothing there again, as if nothing had happened.

However, he didn't notice that in the slightly opened door, there was a camera so small that it was negligible, facing him and recording the scene in real time.

On the other side of the camera, Jingyun and Tan Jingfan watched all this, smiling without saying a word.

The origin of this restaurant has not been found yet, but from the moment he saw them enter, Jingyun suspected that it was owned by Qin Qing.

Jingyun guessed that Qin Qing must have deliberately concealed the information so that they didn't find out that he opened a restaurant.

However, the restaurant had just opened and was noisy inside. There must be employees who had worked in Jingyun Restaurant before.

After some investigation, they found out that Qin Qing was so cunning. Not only did he hide it from them, he also tried to use this opportunity to confess his feelings.

"Qin Qing is indeed untrustworthy." Jingyun sneered.

"How many people can believe it?" Tan Jingfan took out his cell phone and handed it to Jingyun.

Above is Xi Jiyu’s private itinerary and a screenshot of a chat.

On the itinerary, three days later, Xi Jiyu specially reserved time for the afternoon and evening.

The chat screenshot was sent to him by Qin Qing, which clearly showed that Xi Jiyu colluded with Qin Qing to help him successfully set up a date with Xin Jingli three days later.

Therefore, long before Qin Qing was going on a date with Xin Jingli, Xi Jiyu knew that he would be alone with Xin Jingli.

Fearing that the two of them would cause trouble, he won over Qin Qing and used Qin Qing's date with Xin Jingli as a pretext to act out the deep brotherly love, just so that he could go on a date with Xin Jingli smoothly later.

In this way, Xi Jiyu and Qin Qing both had the opportunity to date.

Now that Qin Qing has revealed Xi Jiyu's thoughts, to put it bluntly, Qin Qing's date was successful, but she wanted to demolish the bridge after crossing it, and she didn't intend to let Xi Jiyu succeed as well.

Tan Jingfan and Jingyun exchanged a glance. "Not only have we become tools to eliminate the other four, we've also become stepping stones for those two to pull off their tricks."
