Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Good brother, know how to take care of your brother's wife...
Xing Kui just wanted to talk, no matter if there was a dog or a ghost on the other end of the phone, anything that would allow her to vent a few words, but she never expected that it was Zhou Jing on the other end of the phone.
After finishing speaking, Xing Kui felt much better: "That's it, thank you." He would definitely not give the money, because cheating a liar is equivalent to doing good deeds.
She was about to hang up the phone.
"Try again."
The voice of Mr. Liar suddenly came. No, she was just complaining, so why did the other party give her advice?
"I really can't try it. I've decided. I want to change people." Just in time to change to someone with a better sense of service! Zhou Jing's relatives are always too strong! "Thank you, bye."
After the call ended, Xing Kui, feeling refreshed and having found his next direction, changed the scammer's label from "easy to cheat, has cheated 25 people" to "easy to cheat, has cheated 125 people".
Dongdong, a thin index finger pressed against the frosted glass: "Lock the door?"
It was Zhou Jing's voice, gentle and steady, revealing a calming power. However, it startled the guilty Xing Kui. She quickly put down her phone and took out her toothbrush to squeeze toothpaste. "I'm brushing my teeth. The oral cavity is a very important area. I'm going to brush slowly. Please don't disturb me."
"I think I've interrupted him twenty-eight times."
“!”
Why was he still counting? Xing Kui's cheeks suddenly burned, like a small grass shrimp that had been rolled in boiling water for a few minutes, red and dead.
"By the way, this is the bathroom in my bedroom. I think you are using my toothbrush now. I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you. After all, I'm not as mysophobic as Li Chengchuan."
"!" Xing Kui stiffly lowered his head to look at the gray toothbrush in his hand, quickly opened the door, and respectfully handed Zhou Jing the toothbrush that had just been squeezed with mint toothpaste. "I haven't used it yet, here you go."
Outside the door, Zhou Jing had not changed out of his pajamas yet. Because he had not washed yet and was not wearing glasses, it was dark last night, and now in the morning light, his eyes could be seen more clearly. His eye sockets were deep and his eyelashes were distinct.
Taking the toothbrush she handed over, he raised his warm palm to cover her forehead and paused for a few seconds: "The fever is gone. Take another medicine later."
"Yeah," Xing Kui said hastily, and walked out, "Then I'll go back to my room to brush my teeth and wash my face."
"No need." The hand that had touched her forehead pulled her back. Zhou Jing took two steps inside and opened the drawer under the sink. Inside the drawer were several new, unopened toothbrushes, all the same gray color. The ones in Xing Kui's room were also this color, otherwise she wouldn't have been so nervous about picking the wrong one. "It saves time."
Saving, when?
Well, she was just thinking about how to tell Zhou Jing that she was not going to pursue him anymore. This matter had to be resolved as quickly as possible. The longer it was delayed, the more hurtful it would be.
Xing Kui brushed her teeth, pondered over her words and sentences, bent down to spit out the toothpaste foam, then rinsed her mouth and washed her face with clean water. The water rolled from her cheeks to her chin. She raised her waist and an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Zhou Jing turned her over and pushed her against the sink, his eyes as warm as the spring sun: "You can kiss me now, Kuikui."
Xing Kui's mind went blank for a moment: "You should know that the craving syndrome is fake. We don't need to kiss each other good morning anymore."
"You can continue." Zhou Jing lowered his head. He had just brushed his teeth, and the strong mint scent approached. "I've thought about it. If you don't want to enter my world, then let me enter yours. You don't have to chase me, I'll chase you instead."
He said it was his turn to pursue her.
He said, let him pursue her instead?!
Ding--ling--the doorbell rang. Xing Kui, as if granted amnesty, pulled Zhou Jing's arm away and said, "Someone's coming."
Who knocked on the door and interrupted them at this hour?
Zhou Jing frowned, stepped over the bathroom tiles and walked out of the bedroom. He had just learned from the phone that Xing Kui wanted to replace someone, and was trying to stop it, not wanting to be disturbed.
A bony hand pressed the door handle, the door opened, and Li Chengchuan, dressed in formal attire, stood outside.
Oh, change people.
You won’t replace the old one, right? Kuikui.
Lawyer Zhou Jing has handled no less than a thousand cases over the years, many of which were caused by reconciliation. Perhaps he should explain to Xing Kui that many people have paid a high price for gluing broken mirrors together, and a broken mirror can never be mended.
Li Chengchuan walked into the room: "Is Xing Kui awake?"
If you wake up and come a little later, they can still give you a good morning kiss.
Zhou Jing still felt a little indebted to his brother, so he hummed a low hum in response. The sound of a lame man's footsteps was heard, and Xing Kui walked out of Zhou Jing's room. Holding onto the wall, he looked at Li Chengchuan in surprise, "It's you."
Li Chengchuan paused, staring at Xing Kui with sharp eyes: "Why did you come out of the master bedroom?"
Of course it was because they slept in the same bed last night.
Zhou Jing moved his feet. It was not in line with his character to hide this matter from Li Chengchuan. He didn't mind coming clean at this moment. He also liked the fiancée that Li Chengchuan had set his eyes on.
"Ah? The master bedroom is spacious and sunny. After everything that happened yesterday, and I was injured, Lawyer Zhou was kind enough to switch rooms with me."
Zhou Jing hesitated to speak and looked at Xing Kui. The nature of the incident had changed, so why was Xing Kui still hiding it? Was she really planning to bring back the old guy?
He didn't know that Xing Kui had forgotten Li Chengchuan, and Xing Kui herself didn't know either.
She didn't even look at Zhou Jing. If she did, it would seem like they were having a reciprocal confession, which would increase Li Chengchuan's suspicion.
She remembered it clearly. Both Jiang Yuming and Zhou Jing told her to keep it a secret from Li Chengchuan. She also felt it deeply during her hospitalization. Li Chengchuan loved to meddle in his brothers' affairs, so it was best to keep anything about his brothers secret from him.
On the other side, Li Chengchuan believed Xing Kui's statement that "Zhou Jing was kind enough to change rooms" and looked at his good brother with admiration in his eyes. Knowing that he was taking care of his brother's wife, his hard heart couldn't help but warm.
Better than that young boy Xu Ye.
"I never thought that the brother Xu Ye mentioned who asked people to get their medical reports before having dinner with them was you."
Li Chengchuan's face immediately tightened.
Xing Kui swept Li Chengchuan. His suit was neatly ironed and his black shirt was buttoned to the top. He looked like a stubborn, strict old-fashioned person, but he was so obsessed with mysophobia that he asked his deskmate to have a blood test first. It was incredible.
"We've lived together for so long, and I never realized you were that obsessed with mysophobia."
Zhou Jing, who didn't know that Li Chengchuan had once pretended to be a fellow patient, frowned: "You two also lived together?"
"Yeah." Xing Kui waved her hand, "Let's not talk about it, it's all fate."
It was fate. Zhou Jing suppressed the sneer on his lips, and the debt he felt towards his brother was reduced a little. No matter where he was before, he was now in his home, living in his bedroom, and sleeping in his bed.
"Xu Ye is still in school." Li Chengchuan explained seriously and criticized Xu Ye, "He's not well educated and his words lack emphasis. Just listen to half of it and don't take it to heart. I'm not that obsessed with mysophobia."
The biggest joke I heard today was that Li Chengchuan said he was not that mysophobic, and those shareholders of Dingtian Group who had to have several tubes of blood drawn every time they saw him fainted in the toilet crying.
Xing Kui patted his head. There it was again, the familiar feeling of brothers badmouthing each other behind their backs: "It doesn't matter. Even if there is, as long as the people you're having dinner with can accept it, that's fine."
Anyway, she won’t eat with him anymore!
Afraid of saying something wrong and angering the domineering boss, Xing Kui spoke in a soft voice. She was like soft cotton, making people want to hold her in their arms and knead her.
Zhou Jing clenched his fists, suppressed his jealousy, and changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"
Li Chengchuan, who had been frowning, breathed a sigh of relief. That young boy Xu Ye was a talkative person, and he was not as prudent as Zhou Jing, who would even give him something to talk about.
"Yeah." Zhou Jing intended to end the conversation between Li Chengchuan and Xing Kui, but Li Chengchuan's purpose in coming was Xing Kui. "Aren't you looking for a house? The apartment next to mine is also mine. I usually rent it out to someone else, and the lease just expired recently."
Xing Kui found a chair and just sat down. When she heard this, her eyes lit up with surprise: "Really?" She really had to move out. Zhou Jing wanted to pursue her, and she was in a dilemma.
So the president has to collect rent? That's right, no one would complain about having too much money. Besides, there are different types of presidents: super rich, medium rich, small rich, or even micro rich. Maybe Li Chengchuan is a small rich or even micro rich.
Zhou Jing's expression changed slightly. He stretched out his long legs and sat next to Xing Kui, saying something with a hint of meaning: "It's not appropriate. She is injured and shouldn't live in the 'old house'."
Li Chengchuan glanced at Zhou Jing, misunderstanding that his good brother was giving him a chance to show off, and secretly praised him. Then he said to Xing Kui, "It's already been cleaned up. Now that Zhou Li has returned to her country, it might be dangerous for you to stay at Zhou Jing's house."
Not only is it clean, but all the soft furnishings inside the house, from large furniture to curtain hooks, have been replaced. The replacement had been completed a long time ago, but there had never been a chance to start talking about it. Now that Zhou Li showed up to make trouble, it unexpectedly brought good times.
"Don't worry about Zhou Li." Zhou Jing didn't want Xing Kui to move. He felt uncomfortable inside, but his tone was gentle and steady. "Zhou Li had a variety show contract and ran away halfway. She will leave soon."
Zhou Jing dealt with it last night. His agency has contacted the variety show producer and will help them take legal action to force Zhou Li to return to filming if necessary.
"Variety show? Zhou Li is a star?!" Xing Kui was surprised, "I didn't even realize it."
Zhou Jing looked at her with a gentle look in his eyes: "It's okay, and it's not red."
Li Chengchuan nodded: "Indeed."
Zhou Li's current variety show is because some time ago Li Chengchuan used the endorsement of the jewelry brand controlled by the Li family in exchange for Zhou Jing taking over Xing Kui's car accident case. After that, the brand invested in the variety show and sent Zhou Li to the program team.
"I'm quite interested in your house." Xing Kui said softly. No matter how reluctant Zhou Jing was, she was the one who made the final decision.
She wanted to move. If it was Li Chengchuan's house, she would know that the hygiene was guaranteed without even having to see the house. "Can I ask the price?"
Jingjiang City is the largest city in the country in terms of GDP, and the rent is quite high. Xing Kui's previous house was small and remote, with a bathroom occupying no more than three square meters, and the monthly rent was 1,900 yuan.
Although this community is old and the area it is located in is not particularly wealthy, it is close to the subway. The rent for houses close to the subway will skyrocket, and Xing Kui is worried that it will be very expensive.
Her target price is at most four thousand, at most four thousand five hundred, no more!
"I can rent you at a lower price." Before Li Chengchuan came, he arranged for his assistant Chen Quan to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
The monthly rent for a whole house here is between 5k and 12k, and a house of his size is priced at 12k.
It’s not too much to give my wife a 70% discount, right?
"Three thousand sixty-six a month."
"Three thousand sixty-six a month?!" Xing Kui was surprised, and her voice rose several degrees.
"Too expensive?" Li Chengchuan lowered his Adam's apple, a little nervous. "You can quote the price. I'm not short of money." He added, "Just think of it as charity. Rich people sometimes need to do charity, you know."
Please give her more of this kind of charity!
"I'll rent it!" Xing Kui made the final decision, feeling grateful and sweet-mouthed, "Good man, you'll make a fortune!"
Nanzhou's richest man, Li Chengchuan, usually didn't take kindly to such talk, but since it was Xing Kui's words, it held a different meaning. The corners of his mouth curved up imperceptibly, "Then let's go look at the house."
Going out, closing the door, and then opening it again, Zhou Jing followed the two men with a grim face. Renting Li Chengchuan's house would cost 3,600 yuan, but living in his house would cost nothing.
The house is just to the left of Li Chengchuan's house, and to the right front of Zhou Jing's house. For fear of Xing Kui becoming suspicious, the interior decoration was not based on her preferences. It was decorated in all kinds of Li Chengchuan-style black and simple style.
Xing Kui was quite satisfied and went around the rooms, adding whatever she liked later. The simple black and white was like unstained drawing paper, allowing the painter to paint freely.
"Walk slower." Li Chengchuan looked at her legs and couldn't resist the reminder. He looked at Zhou Jing, a smile flickering on his handsome face. "I'll go get the contract."
"Wait a minute!" Xing Kui poked her head out of a room, her eyes brimming with excitement. "Let's add each other on WeChat first. From now on, you'll be my landlord. Add me on WeChat so I can contact you if I need anything."
Li Chengchuan: (＞'▽'＜)
I've finally waited for this day.
