He had heard that Luo Jinxiu had come to Yuzhou before, but the Han family and the Luo family were not closely connected, so he had not paid special attention to it. He did not expect to meet her under such circumstances.
But how did these two end up together?
Luo Jinxiu, however, did not know much about who he was.
People tend to look up and rarely look down at others, but she could guess some of it.
Among the five major families in Yuzhou, there is one surnamed Han.
Judging from Han Mingrui's age, appearance, and impressive attire, he is probably the young master of a family, leaning towards the spoiled brat type, but he also has some real skills, and leading people into fights is commonplace for him.
What she was more focused on was being absolutely certain that Qiwei knew her identity.
Han Mingrui called out "Miss Luo" aloud, but Qi Wei showed no surprise, only panic and pleading. He even reached out to grab Han Mingrui.
"Mr. Han, Mr. Han, let's talk this out. Is there some misunderstanding between us?" Qi Wei said with a forced smile.
Even in front of Luo Jinxiu, Han Mingrui had to be mindful of his image.
After a brief discussion, everyone went into the living room to talk in detail. Luo Jinxiu was happy to watch the show, and she indicated that she would only observe and would not participate.
Han Mingrui had no idea what was going on between Luo Jinxiu and Qin Yiheng. Anyway, he didn't dare to offend the Luo family, and he was in a fit of anger, so he didn't care about anything else.
Qiwei thought for a moment and decided that it didn't matter whether Luo Jinxiu listened or not; as long as she could protect him a little, that would be enough.
"Qiwei, you've got some nerve, trying to fool me with a fake address?" Han Mingrui came in and refused to sit down, just staring at Qiwei with gritted teeth.
"Fake, fake?" Qiwei's pupils dilated instantly. "Really fake?"
Han Mingrui waved his hand dismissively: "What do you mean by real or fake? It's fake or real, don't play dumb with me!"
Who should I recite tongue twisters to?
He pulled over a few of his men and showed them to Qiwei one by one: "Look at the mess you've made! They went to your address, and what happened? They beat my brothers up like this! Tell me, how can I not demand an explanation from you? Huh?"
These are the ones with relatively minor injuries, but you can still tell that the fight was indeed very intense.
When they looked at Qiwei, their eyes were wide with anger, and their veins were throbbing. If it weren't for Han Mingrui presiding over the situation, they would have already devoured Qiwei alive.
Now that things have come to this, what is there that Qiwei doesn't understand?
"No, it wasn't me! Someone else gave me the address," Qiwei cursed. "That damn bitch."
He quickly told Shen Ru about it.
"Young Master Han, how long have we known each other? You know me, do you think I would lie to you on purpose? Besides, don't you know about my feud with Qin Yiheng? I even begged you to help me deal with him before. Why would I give you a fake address and dig my own grave? Even if I, Qiwei, am stupid, I wouldn't do such a thing..."
As Qiwei continued speaking, he started playing the emotional card again.
Han Mingrui was stunned after hearing this.
There's actually such a thing involved here?
Those who were beaten were also stunned. So, although they hadn't gone to the wrong person, they hadn't found the most crucial one either!
Luo Jinxiu listened attentively, just as she had been told before.
These people really know how to mess things up; they make a big deal out of a single address.
However, Qin Yiheng really didn't disappoint, actually coming up with such a plan. It's easy to see that Shen Ru was also deceived.
It's her own fault for being stupid and messing with the wrong person.
On the other side, Han Mingrui had already made arrangements with Qiwei to take them to find Shen Ru. Qiwei had also transformed into a victim, sharing Han Mingrui's hatred.
The losses are so severe that someone must pay the price.
In fact, Han Mingrui knew perfectly well that even if Shen Ru was the instigator, Qi Wei could not escape responsibility. However, his emotional appeal earlier was very effective and he managed to persuade Han Mingrui.
So the group set off immediately, and no one paid any more attention to Luo Jinxiu. Luo Jinxiu also tried her best to minimize her presence, "so as not to disturb them."
After they left, Luo Jinxiu took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Yiheng, telling him about this very interesting series of accidents.
Qin Yiheng called soon after, and she answered in a good mood.
However, this first sentence displeased her somewhat. Qin Yiheng asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"
Luo Jinxiu was only slightly taken aback before laughing: "What, not interested?"
"It's alright. I would have known even if you hadn't told me." Qin Yiheng's voice was always so indifferent, but when you listened to it close to your ear, it was indescribably deep and magnetic, which Luo Jinxiu liked very much.
Qin Yiheng seemed to realize that his indifference might displease Luo Jinxiu, so he pressed her for an answer: "How did you know?"
He really hadn't thought of that.
"Haha, guess." Luo Jinxiu had a teasing thought in her mind.
"Fine, don't tell me then."
Now that she couldn't see Qin Yiheng's expression, Luo Jinxiu felt that just from his voice, Qin Yiheng must be a little defiant, with a bit of a competitive spirit, saying such tough words as if he was trying to win.
Perhaps because she hadn't been in contact with Qin Yiheng for a while, Luo Jinxiu felt inexplicably good when she heard him say that.
As if possessed, she said, "If it weren't for what happened today, I wouldn't have known you were so cute."
Qin Yiheng was speechless. He had never been described as cute before in his entire life.
Hearing such comments, he felt a strange emotion welling up inside him. He couldn't quite explain why, but he wasn't particularly averse to it.
Unbeknownst to him, his relationship with Luo Jinxiu had already begun to subtly change.
After a pause, Qin Yiheng changed the subject again to avoid escalating the conversation further.
He asked, "Did they go to find Chen Ru?"
"Of course, if it were me, I would have gone to look for her too." Luo Jinxiu said noncommittally, her voice not containing much emotion towards Shen Ru.
She had never met Shen Ru before, and didn't know who she was. She was completely unfamiliar with her. Moreover, after listening to Han Mingrui and Qi Wei's discussion, she knew what role Shen Ru played in it, and she looked down on her very much.
As a young lady from a prominent family, Luo Jinxiu was born with a privileged life and naturally could not understand the thoughts of those vain women.
But she also has a gossipy nature: "Is Shen Ru really Jiang Yan's best friend?"
Qin Yiheng could tell from her voice that she was somewhat skeptical.
"Doesn't look like it?"
"No, it doesn't seem like it." Luo Jinxiu said decisively without hesitation, then suddenly asked, "You think it does?"
If Qin Yiheng had said it sounded similar, she might have broken off their friendship because of differences in "aesthetics" and "values."
Luo Jinxiu had at least met Jiang Yan and lived with her for a period of time, so she thought highly of Jiang Yan, but she found Shen Ru utterly repulsive.
How could two people like that become best friends?
