"Mrs. Zhou." Qin Zhao took the initiative to greet her. The man, who was usually of high position and power, looked extremely approachable at this moment. Looking at her face, he genuinely felt that Mrs. Zhou had a very pleasing face, kind and gentle, with no threat whatsoever.
The more I look at it, the more comfortable it becomes.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
This kind of affection is limited to the kind of affection that elders have for younger generations, wanting to spoil them.
Jiang Yue didn't recognize the man in front of her, and she had forgotten that she had briefly met him at the hotel elevator this morning. Her expression was blank and somewhat bewildered.
No response yet.
Zhou Ji then grasped her hand. The man smelled faintly of alcohol, almost undetectable. He briefly introduced her: "This is Qin Zhao."
I roughly know that Jiang Yue knows Qin Qin and they often interact.
Finally, he added, "Qin Qin's brother."
Jiang Yue knew Qin Qin. The last time she went to the KTV to find male models for entertainment, it was Ding Ru and Qin Qin who took her there. Qin Qin was very quiet and didn't talk much.
However, Qin Qin didn't like her, just not as obviously as Ding Ru.
Therefore, Qin Qin is smarter than Ding Ru. She won't actively become a murder weapon, but is very good at using other people's hands to achieve her own goals.
Jiang Yue has never had a good impression of people who use others to do their dirty work.
She's not stupid; she can see through all the subtle and shrewd calculations.
She disliked people who were too clever for their own good, and she disdained using such underhanded methods.
One should always be open, honest, and upright.
Therefore, when Jiang Yue heard that Qin Zhao was Qin Qin's brother, she instinctively felt disgusted. She assumed that the two siblings must be birds of a feather, and Qin Zhao seemed to be even smarter than Qin Qin, with unfathomable eyes, and he must be quite shrewd and calculating in his daily life.
What good stuff could this be?
Jiang Yue gave a curt "hmm," showing no intention of continuing the conversation.
She just wanted to come downstairs and sit for a while. Alone in her room, all she could see was blood, and countless corpses littered the ground.
It really made her uneasy.
Zhou Fuwei was indeed a madman. He ordered the execution of so many people without even blinking an eye, and he wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on his door in the middle of the night.
Qin Zhao had a pair of insightful eyes. He looked at the woman who was not very willing to talk to him with slight surprise. She seemed to have said that "um" very reluctantly and perfunctorily. If it weren't for politeness and upbringing, Qin Zhao felt that she would not have wanted to say that "um" to him at all.
Qin Zhao was able to rise to the high position of minister so quickly not only because he was the eldest son of the Qin family. Over the years, he had always been very tactful in his dealings with people, never easily offending anyone, and never afraid to use decisive and ruthless methods to deal with people.
It has both gentleness and strength.
Thorough in every aspect.
This was the first time he had ever been treated with such disdain to his face. If it had happened to someone else, the proud and arrogant young master Qin would certainly have felt displeased as well.
Surprisingly, seeing her deliberately turned cold face away, he not only wasn't angry, but even wanted to tease her a bit more.
Qin Zhao pretended not to see Zhou Ji's cold gaze and continued to casually try to get closer to Jiang Yue: "It's so late, why did Mrs. Zhou suddenly come downstairs?"
A nonchalant smile played on the man's lips: "You're not here to check up on me, are you?"
Jiang Yue frowned and said, "I'm just looking around."
Zhou Ji squeezed her fingers until they hurt a little, and said, "Ignore him."
He held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Were you woken up by a nightmare?"
Jiang Yue remained noncommittal. She was still wearing the bracelet that Madam Zhou had given her, so saying that it had been blessed at the temple was of no use.
Every now and then, she would dream about her past.
Jiang Yue gradually became a little afraid. From initial curiosity, she eventually became frightened after witnessing too many bizarre and creepy scenes.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Ji knew what was going on. It seemed that the calming medicine prescribed by the doctor earlier was not working. His eyes paused, and he seemed to think of something, perhaps her mysterious identity, and he vaguely made a guess.
In the past two years, I've heard that the Taoist temples on Zhechun Mountain are extremely effective in granting prayers for good health.
Spring has arrived, a time when all things revive.
It's a good opportunity to take her out for a walk.
But now that she wants a divorce, she probably won't agree.
We'll have to figure out a way to get her out.
Will you be able to sleep tonight?
"It's none of your business."
Jiang Yue withdrew her hand and looked around. There were no other guests in the hotel lobby besides them. She then remembered that this was Fu Qingnian's private property, and it was closed to the public at this time of year.
Only a few hotel staff remain at the front desk.
But it was enough to make her feel at ease.
Jiang Yue looked at Zhou Ji: "Have you been drinking? You must be very sleepy now, go upstairs and go to sleep."
She made up a random excuse: "I want to look at the snow scene outside the glass window in the lobby."
The lobby wasn't cold either; the heating was on full blast.
Zhou Ji thought for a moment: "I drank a little bit, and I'm not too sleepy."
Jiang Yue blinked and bluntly spoke her mind: "So you're going to shamelessly come with me to enjoy the snow in the lobby?"
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That's one way to understand it."
The two spoke in very low voices, but the others could still hear them clearly.
Qin Zhao didn't know what was wrong with him, but he insisted on talking to her for a few more minutes before he was satisfied. "Mrs. Zhou."
Jiang Yue frowned as she looked at Qin Zhao. Why did it seem like he had his eye on her?
Is he trying to help his sister finish what she hasn't done yet?
To avenge his sister?
Jiang Yue instantly became wary, her tone stiff and distant: "Mr. Qin, please speak frankly." She continued, "Also, please call me Miss Jiang."
She and Zhou Ji are both going through divorce proceedings.
She would soon no longer be Zhou Ji's wife.
Qin Zhao raised an eyebrow. The following sentence sounded rather subtle, so he wisely changed his words: "Miss Jiang, I know a very famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor who is very good at conditioning the body. If Miss Jiang needs it, I can give you the doctor's contact information."
A sentence suddenly popped into Jiang Yue's mind—
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
She and Qin Zhao only met today, so why is he being so polite to her for no reason?
Qin Zhao doesn't seem to want anything that's easy to get along with.
He embodies the phrase "a master of framing." He is worldly-wise, shrewd, and cunning.
