19 Support her
His coat wrapped around her
It was just after noon and the sunlight was extremely glaring. There were few people on the street at this time, let alone in front of the Public Security Bureau. But at this moment, a black car drove in and stopped at the bottom of the steps.
The car door was opened from the inside, and someone got out of the car in well-made leather shoes, stepping on the illusory light and shadow, and then walked quickly inside.
The man had a cold and noble face, but now he looked gloomy, with his thin lips tightly pursed, revealing a hint of impending anger.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw a familiar face. Perhaps he hadn't expected him to arrive so soon, as a flash of surprise crossed his face. Then he instantly stood up from his chair, trotted over to him, and respectfully called out, "Brother Yue."
Qin Yue was half a head taller than him, and his tough aura seemed even more aggressive. When he stared at people without saying a word, it made people feel a chill down their spines.
Although he didn't say anything, Li Yanxing lowered his head further and further. He didn't dare to speak again, nor did he dare to follow him.
The public security comrade was very efficient. After explaining the situation, he took the people to the interrogation room.
The big iron door was opened, Qin Yue raised his eyelids and looked inside the house.
For some reason, even though there were so many people inside, he immediately spotted the thin figure huddled in the corner.
She was wrapped in an olive-colored police uniform, with her pointed chin buried in the collar, revealing only half of her face. Her beautiful big eyes drooped listlessly, and upon closer inspection, they were a little red, obviously from crying.
He sat there thin and weak, with no one around him. He looked so pitiful, like a homeless little rabbit.
She was completely unlike her usual beauty and composure, and instead looked somewhat disheveled and downtrodden.
Qin Yue frowned at first sight, and just as he was about to walk towards her, a shout interrupted him.
"elder brother!"
Qin Yue turned around and saw Qin Zhiyi rushing towards him with red eyes, her face full of fear and terror. He subconsciously reached out to catch her, then patted her back soothingly.
After all, they are still young. Even if they are smart and sensible, they will be scared and panic when they go to the Public Security Bureau.
Thinking of this, Qin Yue unconsciously looked in the other direction, and this time he met a pair of eyes that were about to cry. The sunlight poured in through the small window, making the tears in the corners of her eyes sparkle.
The pear blossoms are wet with rain, which makes people feel pity.
Qin Yue's frown deepened. Just as he was about to ask Xu Jinze to take her away, someone grabbed his sleeve. Then he heard Qin Zhiyi anxiously say, "Brother, this is my fault."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Wenjuan beside her took over, "This matter has nothing to do with Zhiyi. It's all my fault. Brother Qin, if you want to scold me, scold me."
After she finished speaking, Chen Wenjuan shrank her neck and glanced at Qin Yue cautiously. Although they didn't meet often, in the compound, the younger generation like them were most afraid of Qin Zhiyi's brother. Not only were they afraid of him, even their parents didn't dare to underestimate him.
At this moment, his expression was normal, and people couldn't tell his true emotions, but one could tell from his feet that he was definitely not in a good mood.
After all, which brother would be happy to come to the police station to rescue his sister?
"Wenjuan, don't say that. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have splashed Song Shixi, so..."
Qin Zhiyi shook her head, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Jinze.
"Don't worry, miss. This is not a serious matter. It won't leave a criminal record. You can go out after completing the formalities."
Xu Jinze handed over the tissue and spoke with a smile. His tone was gentle but powerful and very convincing. With just a few words, he calmed Qin Zhiyi and Chen Wenjuan down.
After he finished speaking, he saw that Qin Yue's face looked much better, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Qin hated it most when others cried and talked nonsense in front of him. If one of them was not Miss Qin, he would have walked away with a cold face.
Qin Zhiyi had obviously thought of this as well. She immediately held back the tears that were still welling up in her eyes and whispered a thank you.
"You're welcome."
Xu Jinze smiled lightly and was about to say something else when he felt Qin Yue's dissatisfied gaze falling on him. At first he didn't understand why, until the other party walked straight towards Song Shixi, he realized belatedly that saying some polite words was a waste of time.
The company still has things to deal with, so the most important thing is to quickly resolve the issues here and rush back immediately.
After figuring it out, Xu Jinze frowned in annoyance and hurriedly followed.
When they got closer, they realized how miserable she was.
Because it was a white dress and she had fair skin, any stains of other colors would be particularly noticeable. The large patches of dried yellow stains gave off the smell of cheap perfume, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Qin Yue's expression suddenly turned very ugly, with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Seeing Qin Yue and the others approaching, Song Shixi stood up from her chair. She always knew how to look the most pitiful, so she turned her head slightly, bit her lower lip firmly, revealing half of her fair face, as if she wanted to hold back the tears in her eyes, but she didn't know that this made her look more vulnerable.
It was obvious that she was the one who was wronged. The person who did the wrong did not apologize, but she spoke first.
Qin Yue stared at her with his dark eyes, and said in an emotionless voice, "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"
"If it weren't for me, this matter wouldn't have been brought to the Public Security Bureau, bringing shame to the Qin family." Song Shixi said as he secretly glanced at Qin Yue's face.
She didn't care whether she went to the police station or not. She was the one who was right anyway, and no matter what, she wouldn't suffer any loss.
But when she got on the police car, she suddenly realized that they were still students, and if there was a financial dispute, their parents would most likely be called. According to Qin Zhiyi's personality, she would never ask her parents to pick her up. The only person she would ask was her brother Qin Yue.
When she thought about meeting Qin Yue at the Public Security Bureau, her neck felt itchy, as if it was about to break.
Oh my God, if Qin Yue knew that she had caused Qin Zhiyi to be taken to the Public Security Bureau, would she still be able to survive?
But it was too late to regret. She could only think of a solution while gritting her teeth and going to the Public Security Bureau.
After thinking about it, I still think that pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy is the most effective trick, because the effect seems to always be quite good.
Although Qin Yue is a person who doesn't respond to soft or hard tactics, compared with the other two, the soft approach has a better chance of winning.
Thinking of this, she blinked again and two golden beans fell out.
Qin Yue glared at her, his hand hanging by his leg moving slightly, but quickly lowering it. His expression was obscure, and a hoarse, low voice slowly uttered from his throat, "You also know that you are a member of the Qin family?"
Hearing this, Song Shixi looked up at him in confusion, and saw that his eyes were dark, with emotions that she could not understand.
She didn't understand, but everyone else did.
Chen Wenjuan shuddered, her body shook, and she subconsciously grabbed Qin Zhiyi's arm, a trace of panic flashing across her face.
Qin Yue's words clearly showed his support for Song Shixi. What should she do? If she offended the Qin family, if she offended Qin Yue, her parents would skin her alive!
If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have thrown soda on Song Shixi in order to send her back home, and she would not have hesitated over a hundred dollars and gone to the police station.
Chen Wenjuan was regretting a thousand times at this moment, and the strength she held on to Qin Zhiyi was getting stronger and stronger, obviously treating her as her last straw.
Fortunately, Qin Zhiyi was a man of integrity and usually very protective of his own people. He even knew to speak up for her now, "Brother, this can't be considered Wenjuan's fault. She was trying to help me, so..."
"So what?"
Seeing her only saying these words over and over again, Qin Yue couldn't hide his disappointment between his brows. He glanced at her indifferently, "So you can throw soda on people in public? You are all girls, don't you know the consequences?"
Hearing this, Qin Zhiyi's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked at the large yellow mark on Song Shixi's chest. If she hadn't used her coat to cover it in time...
They always say that Song Shixi does evil things, but aren't what they are doing now evil too?
Even Song Shixi had never embarrassed her in public.
Qin Zhiyi pursed her lips and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Chen Wenjuan became even more anxious, her back covered in sweat. If this continued, wouldn’t she be dead when her parents came?
She opened her mouth to speak, but the more she feared, the more it came true. There was a noise at the door. Her parents came, and at the same time, a young man in a police uniform came in.
"Ayue."
Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Yue temporarily shifted his gaze away from Song Shixi and turned to look at Zeng Jingxu at the door.
This was the first time they met after he returned from Shenzhen.
But they both knew that now was not the time to reminisce, so they just greeted each other and stopped talking.
"Since both parents are here, do you want to settle it privately or go through the formalities?" Zeng Jingxu was tall, almost as tall as Qin Yue, with strong and handsome features and wheat-colored skin. The words "righteousness" were written all over his body.
Before Qin Yue and the others could speak, Chen Wenjuan's parents spoke first, "Let's settle it privately!"
Zeng Jingxu turned to look at Song Shixi and Qin Yue, and when they nodded, he continued, "Okay."
After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the other public security comrades present to follow him out, leaving them space to resolve the issue on their own.
The big iron gate was closed again and the atmosphere fell into silence.
Qin Yue tilted his head, his deep black eyes locked on Song Shixi, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "What do you want?"
The latter hesitated, and finally whispered: "I want compensation."
Even if she didn't say it, Qin Yue knew what she wanted.
He is really obsessed with money.
He was silent for two seconds, then added, "Compensation, apology, both are required."
Hearing this, Song Shixi's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Qin Yue, but could only see his cold and hard profile.
Chen's father and mother looked at each other, and immediately took out two hundred yuan, and then pressed Chen Wenjuan to apologize.
"Comrade Qin, Comrade Song, we're so sorry. Don't worry, we'll definitely teach that girl a lesson when we get back. Comrade Song, take these two hundred yuan and buy her some new clothes and some good food. It's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation."
It went from one hundred to two hundred, doubling from its original amount. Song Shixi could hardly suppress the curve of his lips. He suppressed his excitement, said a few polite words in a serious manner, and then impatiently reached out to take the money.
Qin Yue was standing next to her, taking in her little expression, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.
The two parties reconciled, signed the agreement, and then left.
Seeing that Qin Zhiyi looked dazed, Qin Yue wanted to send her home, but she said she wanted to be with her friends, so he didn't force her. After giving her a few simple instructions, he prepared to go back to the company to continue dealing with things.
Who knew that when I turned my head, I caught a glimpse of a man and a woman talking and laughing in the dim corridor.
Song Shixi tilted her little face up, her curled eyelashes flickered, her lips were round and full, and she showed a few pearly teeth when she spoke. She looked unusually well-behaved.
Zeng Jingxu, who was sitting opposite her, had already blushed and was touching the back of his head helplessly to relieve his embarrassment and tension.
If I didn’t know, I would have thought they were just a young couple talking about love.
Seeing this, Qin Yue's face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
*
After coming out of the interrogation room, Song Shixi did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he found the public security comrade who lent him clothes and thanked him sincerely.
At that time, she had to keep her coat covering her chest to prevent exposure, so the public security officer lent her his coat.
Song Shixi never expected that he was the police officer Zeng mentioned by Zheng Huilan. They both recognized each other's identities, and the conversation unconsciously became less unfamiliar and more intimate.
Zeng Jingxu also enthusiastically said that the team he led would pass by her home during their daily patrols, and would focus on her safety. If there were any abnormalities, they would deal with them immediately and inform her.
Song Shixi was overjoyed at this and was about to say some more words of gratitude when she smelled a pleasant fragrance and a large black suit jacket appeared on her shoulders, completely and domineeringly covering her whole body.
Everything happened too suddenly. Song Shixi was a little slow to react. She subconsciously reached out to fix her coat in a hurry and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. When she raised her head in a daze, she saw a tall figure appear beside her without her knowing when.
"Ayue, you haven't left yet?" Zeng Jingxu was quite happy to see Qin Yue. His sword-like eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile filled his eyes.
In contrast, Qin Yue's mood was much calmer. He just responded softly, then lowered his head and said to Song Shixi, "Put on your clothes and follow me."
If you listen carefully, you will find the strong dissatisfaction in his tone.
Song Shixi was already wearing her own coat, and the stain had long since dried, so Qin Yue's coat was completely unnecessary. She was still a little hot wearing it. Her eyebrows knitted together, but she didn't dare to openly refuse his kindness. She could only whisper tactfully, "Thank you, but no thanks. My house is just up the road, just a few steps away."
As she spoke, she was about to take off the coat, but the next second a big, broad hand touched her shoulder, stopping her.
Qin Yue's eyes were dark, but his fingertips moved in an unspeakably gentle manner. He slowly and methodically helped her fix her collar before saying coldly, "I'll take you there."
Hearing this, Song Shixi's heart skipped a beat, and he realized belatedly that Qin Yue might be trying to settle the score with him later.
Thinking of this, she became even more resistant.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Zeng Jingxu spoke up: "Ayue, when are you free to come out and have dinner together?"
Out of professional sensitivity, Zeng Jingxu keenly noticed the change in atmosphere and took the initiative to speak to break the awkward situation. Then he looked around at the two of them thoughtfully and felt that the relationship between the brother and sister was a little subtle, as if they were very close, but also seemed not very familiar with each other.
In short, it's weird.
"Tomorrow night, I'll contact you then." After hearing Zeng Jingxu's words, Qin Yue temporarily suppressed his temper. After replying to him, he looked at Song Shixi deeply and then strode out.
Song Shixi's body froze when he looked at her, and he swallowed unconsciously. After thinking about it, he felt that he would be stabbed anyway, so it would be better to die early and be reborn soon, so he gritted his teeth and chased after him.
After taking two steps forward, he remembered that he had not said goodbye to Officer Zeng. He stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Officer Zeng."
"Goodbye." Zeng Jingxu had a good impression of Song Shixi, so he curled his lips.
Just as Song Shixi was about to catch up, he saw Qin Zhiyi and Li Yanxing in the hall and stopped for a moment.
What should you do if you run into the Plague God? Song Shixi's answer is to run away as quickly as possible.
So she didn't bother to chase Qin Yue, and immediately changed direction and ran out from another door.
Qin Yue walked towards the car parked at the door, but the image of Song Shixi smiling at the young male police officer in the dim corridor kept echoing in his mind. He felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't help but reach out to loosen his tie.
She was good-tempered and always greeted everyone with a smile, but with him, she would either cry or try to avoid him...
No, perhaps fear is a more accurate word.
Thinking of her reactions during this period, Qin Yue's brows furrowed more and more, and the seeds of doubt buried deep in his heart continued to take root and sprout.
Would someone who was so afraid of him really dare to do something like drugging him and getting close to him?
Or was this just one of her tactics? After all, she was the best at lying and pretending.
Qin Yue rubbed his fingertips twice and was about to get into the car, but he found that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and found that there was no one there. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. He suppressed his turbulent emotions and was about to go in to look for someone. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a petite figure sneaking out of the side door of the Public Security Bureau.
In fact, she was not short, on the contrary she was tall and slender. But when she put on his coat, she looked like a child who had stolen adult clothes, which made her face look even smaller and more delicate. When she peeked out, she looked even more naive and cute.
Seeing this, Qin Yue's anger dissipated a little. He took a step forward with his long legs and strode towards her. He grabbed her arm and could still vaguely feel the shape of her bones through several layers of cloth.
Too thin.
"Ah." Song Shixi was startled by Qin Yue's sudden appearance and screamed subconsciously. Before she could react, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into the car.
The whole process takes no more than a minute, leaving no chance for people to refuse.
"drive."
"yes."
Not to mention her, even Xu Jinze, who witnessed the whole process, was a little dazed, but his body worked faster than his brain and he stepped on the accelerator.
The carriage was exceptionally quiet. Song Shixi came to his senses belatedly and the first thing he did was to move his butt to the corner, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Fortunately, Qin Yue had no intention of paying attention to her. As soon as he got in the car, he started reading the documents by himself.
Song Shixi glanced around secretly several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was not in danger for the time being. But then she suddenly widened her eyes. Since Qin Yue had no intention of looking for her to blame just now, and even asked for compensation and an apology for her, it was obvious that he knew that this matter was not her fault, but why did he force her into the car now?
After thinking about it for a long time without coming up with a definite answer, Song Shixi carefully turned his eyes and looked at him.
She thought she was being discreet, but in fact, every move she made was seen by Qin Yue. He gripped the folder with a little force, leaving a fingerprint on it. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he turned his head and looked at her.
Being caught peeking, Song Shixi's face flashed with a trace of panic and embarrassment. The delicate pink spread from the earlobe to the surrounding area. She was naturally charming and extremely shy.
In a panic, she buried half of her face in his coat, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes with rippling light outside. Her eyes moved away from him tremblingly, but it seemed more like she was hesitant, reluctant to accept but also reluctant to do so.
Qin Yue stared at her, his eyebrows raised slightly.
The doubts were solved and the answer surfaced. She was not afraid of him at all, but was clearly seducing him from the beginning to the end.
He is very scheming and has many different methods. It's really amazing.
According to his temper, he should cut the Gordian knot and quickly solve this troublesome person who has never listened to him. However, looking at her timid appearance, a sense of inexplicable irritation surged in his heart. He slammed the folder shut and closed his eyes.
When the gaze on her disappeared, Song Shixi breathed a sigh of relief, and the fingertips that were pinching the hem of her skirt loosened a little.
Qin Yue's eyes were like a burning flame, scorching and extremely aggressive, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
It's so scary.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the carriage was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Song Shixi looked at the direction that was obviously not going to his home, and was entangled in three thoughts. He couldn't help but asked weakly, "Aren't you taking me home?"
Hearing this, Qin Yue opened his eyes, glanced out the window, and then looked directly at Xu Jinze. The latter met his gaze through the rearview mirror in the car, was stunned at first, and then said decisively: "I'm turning back now."
After getting in the car, Mr. Qin didn't say anything. He just drove towards the company as a matter of course.
Furthermore, although he knew that Comrade Song had moved out of the Qin family, he did not know the exact location, only that it was near Beijing University of Finance and Economics.
Qin Yue's eyes darkened, and before Xu Jinze turned around, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you know how important this is?"
"yes."
So the speed did not decrease, but increased.
Song Shixi witnessed the whole process. Looking at Qin Yue's tense jawline, he was obviously on the verge of getting angry. The idea of wanting him to leave her on the roadside disappeared immediately. She decided to wait until he got off the car and then take the bus back by herself.
Fortunately, they arrived at their destination soon. After the car stopped, Qin Yue got out first with the folder, followed closely by Xu Jinze. Song Shixi also got out for fear of being locked in the car.
This is a newly developed area. Unlike the main urban area, all you can see are towering high-rise buildings, which have a subtle sense of prosperity in later generations and are dazzling.
"Miss Song, please come this way."
Hearing this, Song Shixi retracted her gaze. Seeing that she was still going upstairs with him, she quickly grabbed the corner of Xu Jinze's clothes and whispered, "I'll go back first."
Xu Jinze brushed her hand away calmly and said, "I'll take you home after this."
That being said, Xu Jinze also had a hard time expressing his grievances. After so many years, he prided himself on being able to figure out President Qin's thoughts, even if he wasn't 100% sure. But this time, he had no idea why President Qin brought Song Shixi to the company.
In addition, with the previous experience, he no longer dared to act on his own without President Qin's permission, so he could only respond to her vaguely.
"Let's go."
Song Shixi watched Qin Yue walking further and further away, gritted his teeth secretly, and finally had to reluctantly follow him into the building in front of him.
The elevators of this era had a simple appearance and simple decoration, not much different from those in later generations. Song Shixi looked at it silently for a few seconds, but Xu Jinze thought it was her first time to ride one and was very curious about it. He straightened his back and couldn't help but introduce it with a sense of pride.
"This is called an elevator. It takes just a few seconds to get from the ground floor to the upper floors. It's a project completed by our Qin Group and the team from Gangcheng. It uses the latest technology, and there are only a few of them in the country."
After hearing what Xu Jinze said, Song Shixi finally remembered to pretend, so she smiled at him and said in surprise, "So amazing? This is the first time I've seen such a big thing. Thank you, Secretary Xu, for your explanation."
When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved into little crescents, making her look charming and lovely.
This scene was reflected through the glass window and entered Qin Yue's eyes. He glanced at Xu Jinze beside him without leaving any trace and said sternly, "Call a meeting."
The sudden noise interrupted Xu Jinze's thoughts of continuing to speak. He collected his thoughts and replied, "Yes."
