Chapter 44 She Doesn’t Believe in Buddhism
"The gods and Buddhas in the world are nothing but self-deception. Man is the one who plans things," said Qi Ze.
This time they met, it was about ten days later, and Jiang Rao now liked Qi Ze a little better.
But there is still a huge gap in their status. Qi Ze is still high and mighty, while Jiang Rao is still in the mud, having the troubles of a small person and worrying about losing his job.
Jiang Rao felt that it was her own self-cultivation that moved the Buddha, and that was why everything had been peaceful for more than ten days.
Sure enough, getting close to the Qi family will make you unhappy.
But she is the kind of person who would go to the tiger mountain even though she knows there is a tiger there.
"Mr. Qi's idea coincides with mine." Jiang Rao's foot injury was almost healed, and she had another evil idea. At this moment, she was standing not far from Qi Ze, with a pure smile on her face.
Jiang Rao was dressed very plainly today, without any makeup, just like when they first met at Wuxiang Temple.
Qi Ze saw through her at a glance and laughed at her for being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Haven't you learned enough from last time?"
It refers to the incident of being kidnapped by kidnappers.
Jiang Rao's face turned pale, but a beautiful woman with a frown still looks pretty.
"I've had enough, but I'll be more careful next time."
Qi Ze looked at Jiang Rao in some surprise. Although the woman was weak, she was very courageous and had a strong determination to climb up.
"But I'm most impatient to deal with women like you." Qi Ze gave her an affirmative answer, which was also a rejection of her.
Jiang Rao understood what Qi Ze meant. Back then, the two brothers fought over a woman and neither of them was the final winner. Now Jiang Rao and Qi Chen were involved. Even if Qi Ze had a little interest in Jiang Rao, that was all.
"I haven't even defended myself yet, but they sentenced me to death. It's not fair to me." Jiang Rao was stubborn and wanted to fight for it.
"Tell me." Qi Ze responded leisurely, his steps leisurely, looking around at the Arhats, his lips slightly curved, "Since you are here to fulfill a vow, then don't lie, the Buddha is watching."
Qi Ze pointed at the Arhat in front of him, implying something. He understood the cunningness of the woman in front of him, so he said this on purpose.
Jiang Rao was not swayed by his words. She raised her eyes to look at the lofty Arhat and strangely calmed down.
Buddha said: If I don’t go to hell, who will?
Since the Buddha was willing to sacrifice his life, he would surely forgive her, a weak woman, for doing whatever it took to survive.
Jiang Rao cleared her throat. "What happened between Qi Chen and me is completely nonsense. The first time he led me into this trap was when Jin Na asked you to come and watch the fun."
Qi Ze said "hmm" and motioned Jiang Rao to continue.
"As for going back to the opera house because of a foot injury, it's because I'm poor." By the way, she was trying to establish her own authority. Jiang Rao understood the idiom 'people leave and the tea gets cold' very well. Even if she had to take a leave because of a foot injury, Jiang Rao had to make her presence felt, otherwise when she came back again, she wouldn't even be able to be the No. N female star.
She didn't say the latter psychological words, which made the previous sentence seem particularly sincere.
"I need a salary. Even if I can't dance anymore, it's good to come back and be a stage background. I can just work day by day and make ends meet." Jiang Rao paused, not knowing how much Qi Ze had heard. "It would be difficult for a noble like Qi Shao who is out of touch with the real world to understand the feelings of an ordinary person like me struggling to make a living."
Qi Ze didn't respond. Jiang Rao glanced at his expression and continued, "I didn't expect that I would end up losing more than I gained, and Qi Chen would hold a grudge against me..."
After Jiang Rao finished speaking, Qi Ze had a blank expression on his face, and she suddenly started to shudder.
"It wasn't Qi Chen who did it. Our Qi family would never do such despicable things, unless he was malicious." Qi Ze explained, knowing his brother's character thoroughly.
Jiang Rao's eyes widened. "Didn't you say it was Qi Chen at the hospital..."
"I said it, and then what?" Qi Ze smiled faintly, "Do I have to be responsible for what I said?"
Jiang Rao choked. Even if Qi Ze explained it, this matter was definitely related to Qi Chen.
"Jiang Rao, take care of yourself."
Qi Ze walked away. He didn't give a precise answer to what Jiang Rao had just explained, and it was unknown how much he believed it.
The mint scent faded away, and Jiang Rao was the only one left in the huge Arhat Hall.
She looked around and felt that this Arhat was like everything in the world, and also like the unpredictable human heart: greed, hatred, joy...
She turned away expressionlessly. If Qi Ze was here, Jiang Rao would definitely say to him, "What a coincidence, she doesn't believe in Buddhism either."
