Chapter 19 Chapter 19 How many of his brothers are you related to...
Xing Kui sat on the bed, biting her nails, staring at the reply on her phone in confusion.
Xu Ye: [OK]
Xu Ye: [Treasure]
Why does it smell like Taobao customer service? Was her account hacked? The person who saved her was clearly a tough school bully named Feng Nanda, and his tone was very aggressive.
Xu Ye: [As you wish]
That's right! Xing Kui breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps someone else had sent the message. She replied with a thank you and said she would buy the hat back as soon as possible.
Clicking on Taobao, Xing Kui recalled Xu Ye's image. In her impression, Xu Ye was tall and straight, perhaps 1.9 meters tall, wearing a military green cotton coat. His exposed wheat-colored neck and wrists were both strong and powerful, giving him a sense of a wild beast.
It's subtle to have little contact with such people. If they have a bad temper, they can beat her up at any time. Xing Kui shook her head and searched for a brown baseball cap, trying to choose a style similar to Xu Ye's hat. She added more than a dozen pieces to the shopping cart in the morning.
[Haven't you eaten yet?] Zhou Jing's message popped up in the top bar. Xing Kuifang realized she was hungry, quickly replied, and opened the food delivery app.
You don’t know until you see it. Once you see it, you can’t help but smile with happiness. There are delicious foods everywhere around the community where Zhou Jing lives. You can’t finish the list even if you check it out.
It's a pity that she has to be on a diet and can't eat many things. Is it okay for her to order a Malatang that's neither spicy nor numbing?
She added seven or eight more vegetarian dishes, and seven or eight more meat dishes. The prices on the checkout page made Xing Kui's heart ache, but she decided not to give herself a bad deal and resolutely clicked the payment button—wait a minute! I'll log out and get a red envelope coupon first. OK, payment!
The rider came quickly. Xing Kui put on his coat and got off the bed. He limped to the door, opened it, and took the food. He sat at the dining table with the takeaway, opened the package, rubbed his hands expectantly, and picked up the disposable wooden chopsticks.
I haven't eaten spicy hot pot for a long time! She's here!
As Xing Kui raised her chopsticks, her phone lit up inopportunely. She glanced at it and answered the WeChat voice call from Zhou Jing: "Hello, Lawyer Zhou, what's going on?"
"Do you think you should eat spicy hot pot, Xing Kui?"
Xing Kui was startled. She looked around, too flustered to know where to speak. There was no surveillance camera in the bedroom, but there was one outside. "You, you, you, me, me, I ordered the beef bone soup base, no spicy."
"Beef bone soup base?" The voice from the speaker rose slightly and sounded gentle, but he used the same tone to capture her lips last night, asking her over and over again if she had taken enough medicine without giving her a chance to answer.
Xing Kui suddenly grabbed the chopsticks, lowered her head and started eating the spicy hot pot: "No matter what, I want to eat it. I'll finish it when you come back."
The pen tapped lightly on the table, and Xing Kui shuddered. Eating was the most important thing in the world, so she continued eating, her mouth full. "Don't be angry, it's okay to eat once in a while. If you want to be angry, go out and pee and come back."
Attorney Zhou's office in Ley & Corazón's Southern Cantonese office, Zhou Jing's thin fingers held a pen as he stared at Xing Kui, who was eating rapidly on the screen, frowning helplessly. "I'm not angry. Eat slowly."
She wanted to eat so much, what else could he do? He was not Li Chengchuan, who was so petty that he told Xing Kui to stay away from him in the middle of the night.
Xing Kui swallowed the food in her mouth and subconsciously licked her lips that were swollen from Zhou Jing's kiss: "Are you really not angry?"
Zhou Jing looked at her lips in the surveillance video: "Well, go slower. Don't order takeout tonight. I get off work early today and will bring you dinner when I get home."
Xing Kui smiled: "Okay."
Zhou Jing: "Be good."
After saying that, he was stunned, and his fingertips on the hard fountain pen tightened slightly. Yes, he was a good boy. If he wasn't a good boy, how could he swallow the truth of the car accident alone? If he wasn't a good boy, how could he not make a fuss even if he was kissed until he felt dizzy.
Zhou Jing took the schedule from the table, took a look at it, put it down, stood up, picked up his coat and walked out of the office.
"My meeting with Manager Li of Xingcheng Construction at 6pm has been moved up. I'm going to meet him now."
A group of people followed Zhou Jing's footsteps.
"But Manager Li..."
"He asked me to change the time because he wanted something from me, not because I wanted something from him."
Every floor of the office was busy, but the first floor was noisy. Two men were fighting, and some office employees were trying to separate them. Next to them, a woman was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, rolling her eyes at the two men.
Zhou Jing stopped and someone behind him immediately explained, "This is a case taken by the Family Affairs Department. The two men are brothers, and the woman is the elder brother's wife. The elder brother suspected that the younger brother seduced his sister-in-law, but the younger brother denied it, so they had a big fight. The two brothers used to be as close as brothers, but now they fight every time they see each other. In my opinion—"
"What do you think?" Zhou Jing's tone was gentle and his gaze was gentle. He looked straight ahead, but the person he was looking at did not dare to look him in the eye and lowered his head.
"I've been too talkative."
Zhou Jing ignored the people who were fighting and tried to stop them, walked out of the office building, got into his car and left.
In his opinion, it is boring to create a rift between brothers who have been together for decades because of a woman. If he is the suspected brother, he will let the woman give up and leave them on her own initiative.
"Tell me," the staff who remained at the law firm clung to each other, watching Zhou Jing's gray Audi drive away. "Our law firm is one of the top three in the world, with tens of billions in annual revenue. How could Lawyer Zhou, a partner, drive a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"You're really ignorant. Someone in Zhou Lu's family has been in politics since the last century, and the whole family is accustomed to being frugal."
"If I were him, I wouldn't mind using the price of my car to show off my status if I were that rich."
"But today seems a little strange. Lawyer Zhou rarely adjusts his schedule. Is there any important client you need?"
"No matter how big the client is, Lawyer Zhou wouldn't even look down on a case worth tens of millions."
"I like it, hehe."
Xing Kui scooped out the last piece of baby cabbage from the spicy hot pot, and leaned back in the chair contentedly. But when she remembered that there was a surveillance camera and she had to sit up straight, she struggled and gave up.
Zhou Jing's house is not big compared to Jiang Yuming's. Being a lawyer doesn't mean you are rich, but like Jiang Yuming's house, the interior decoration is not very colorful. Jiang Yuming's house at least has roses, but here there is not even a blade of grass.
There were no photos, so she didn't know if his parents were dead or what. It didn't matter, she wasn't in a relationship with his parents.
After watching for a while, Xing Kui picked up her phone. In the morning, she opened the interactive notification of Xiao Hongshu. A few hours later, there were 99+ new messages. Many people were waiting for the follow-up. The number of fans of her small account increased by a thousand.
She had previously tried to document her life on WeChat Moments but failed. So, why not try a platform like Xiaohongshu? Not only could she document her life, but as her follower count grew, she could earn more money and even add a few more dishes to her spicy hot pot orders.
Xing Kui looked through the photo album on her phone. Jiang Yuming cooperated with her to take a lot of pictures of himself holding hats. She picked out a few that had not been posted before and edited a new post.
Netizens were curious about who the hand holding the hat belonged to, and whether it was her savior, so Xing Kui talked about her doctor with invincible beauty in a new post.
Someone responded quickly.
"I don't believe it! Where can I find the kind of doctor you describe? Unless you tell me the location and department, I want to see it in person."
【Thanks for sharing. I have something to dream about tonight.】
[If there were a doctor this good-looking and willing to help take photos, I'd be sick every day.]
Where's the benefactor who looked like the school bully last time? Did you find a hat that matches his? Stay tuned, I like this one.
How could someone like a school bully? Xing Kui scratched her head. Did she say she liked hats?
After thinking for a moment, she replied: [The hat is a G·PROMISE peripheral, but there is only one. Sisters can use the image to find similar ones.]
[No! I mean people are people! Will you continue to contact the school bully? Will you consider repaying him with your body for saving your life? [Chuckles][Chuckles]]
It's so awkward, you really like the school bully?
Xing Kui sat up straight, cleaned up the takeaway garbage on the table, and went to the kitchen to rinse her mouth with clean water. It was a different era, and she had never thought about giving herself to someone. She just wanted to return the hat as soon as possible and end their unexpected encounter.
On the campus playground, the members of the track and field club surrounded Xu Ye and suddenly dispersed.
"Brother Xu, I see that the girl you saved isn't interested in you. Were you wearing a mask when you saved her? Didn't she see your face?"
"How can you say that? My brother Xu is still a handsome guy even with a mask on."
"Then why doesn't she like you?" The boy counted on his fingers, "She saved my life, and he's so handsome. If it were me, I would have clung to her a long time ago."
Xu Ye glanced coldly at the boy who was speaking, his dark brown pupils were sharp. The wind blew his short hair, making it messy in the wind, and his whole body was full of wild hormones.
"Haha, Brother Xu, please stop glaring at me. I'm scared. Hey, is that girl pretty?"
Xu Ye's eyes trembled when he heard this. On the day when he first met the object of his affection, there was a hideous wound on her forehead. Xu Ye curled his lips and nodded reservedly.
Beautiful, how could she not be beautiful? He couldn't see the scar. In his eyes, she was as sweet and lovely as a little cake.
"Being pretty is fine! Brother Xu, you should find an excuse to date her. The hat is nothing. You have to be more proactive to have a future."
At Zhou Jing's house, Xing Kui thought that since she had already posted Little Red Potato, there were many similar platforms that could make extra money by accumulating fans. Posting one would require making a piece of material, and posting two would also require making a piece of material, so it would be better to post more.
When looking for a job, you have to cast a wide net. The same applies to self-media. You never know which platform will give you the volume.
Money doesn't fall from the sky, so even if you're interested, you have to take action. Xing Kui created an account after thinking about it. He wanted to give the account a unified nickname. The nickname doesn't have to be nice, but it must not be tongue-twisting, it must be easy to remember, and it's best to match the tone of the account.
She was so tired from thinking about all this that she had a concussion and she had to hit her head almost every few minutes.
I have to think about this carefully. This is related to how many more dishes she can add to her Malatang in the future. Not only Malatang, but also Xiangguo, Maocai... She can even add a fried egg to her snail noodles! Oops, I got distracted again. I'll hit my head again.
Little Sunflower... No, no, my relatives can guess it's her. I can't let my great cause fail halfway.
There is a limit on the number of times you can change your name. Xing Kui thought of a few and wrote them down in her memo. Later, she would look at how her peers named their names. If she continued thinking now, her brain would be permanently damaged. She clicked on Taobao to continue searching for hats and add them to the shopping cart. She slowly closed her eyes tiredly.
The cell phone slipped and fell on the bedding. The sunlight through the blinds turned from gold to red and then to dark. A warm, thin palm covered her cheek and rubbed it. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She knew who it was, but she didn't want to open her eyes. Don't give her a kiss after get off work, please!
When his prayer failed, Zhou Jing suddenly pressed down hard on her lower lip, as if pouring fire into her mouth.
"Mmm." Are you kidding me? I said I'm not angry at Malatang!
Zhou Jing leaned against the back of Xing Kui's head, his eyelids drooping, glancing at the cell phone lying quietly on the quilt but lit up, and a hint of heat appeared in his usually calm eyes.
Xu Ye: [Would you like to have a meal together?]
Xu, Ye, very good. Xing Kui, how many of his brothers are you related to?
