Chapter 997 Ah Li... took his hand first!
"He had a very hard life growing up..."
Qu Qingli parted her slightly pale lips, staring blankly at Assistant Zhou.
"yes."
Assistant Zhou nodded, "Apart from the old man, no one in the Chi family treats him like a human being."
"If it weren't for your appearance, the governor probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer."
"..."
Qu Qingli sat there, rubbing her swollen temples.
One bombshell after another tonight, my heart and brain are really struggling to keep up.
"You guys go back first, I'll take care of him here."
"OK."
Assistant Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased but not daring to show it: "We're in the car downstairs. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything, Chief."
"By the way, Miss Qu, is your stomach alright?"
The doctor was originally sent by the governor to examine her.
Who knew that by sheer luck, he got to see one first.
After hearing the governor's tragic story, Miss Qu should be less angry now.
"I'm fine." Qu Qingli opened her eyes, her voice clear and crisp: "With such a commotion, will Chi Yingzhou be affected?"
"A dignified governor served as a lackey for a corrupt casino owner for over three years."
Even she herself found it a bit outrageous.
"Forehead."
Assistant Zhou opened his mouth, hesitated, and then softly comforted him, "It will have an impact, but don't worry, the governor will handle it."
"How do we solve this?"
Qu Qingli recalled the way people looked at him at the meeting today.
besides--
Assistant Zhou said that his heartless older brother had returned to China and was trying to trip him up.
Perhaps the reason she was suddenly invited and that she was pregnant was because he revealed it.
“Of course he can.” Assistant Zhou smiled. “You have to trust the governor. If he can’t solve the problem, he will deal with the person who created it.”
Hearing the sound.
Qu Qingli's heart suddenly tightened, and the rumors about Chi Yingzhou suddenly surfaced in her mind.
He killed his father and brother; he was cold-blooded and ruthless.
Before that, she had been cursing and hitting him; she was incredibly audacious.
"Miss Qu, thank you for taking care of the governor."
Assistant Zhou bowed slightly and led Dr. Lin away.
They slipped away incredibly fast, as if afraid that if they were any slower, they would be left behind.
——
In the bedroom.
Chi Yingzhou hadn't rested well for three days and was sleeping soundly.
Qu Qingli sat beside him, her mind filled with the words of Assistant Zhou.
I was disliked by my parents and loved by no one from childhood to adulthood.
If it weren't for me, he might have died long ago.
"You were bought off with just a sesame seed cake?"
Qu Qingli raised her hand and gently brushed away the stray hairs on his forehead.
What's more, she had even taken a bite of that sesame seed cake.
Qu Qingli pursed her lips, noticing his wrinkled shirt.
She went to the next room to get him some clean clothes.
After he left, she never went into that side bedroom again.
There were still a few pieces of clothing hanging in the closet.
As Qu Qingli took the clothes and turned to leave, she accidentally bumped into the cabinet next to her.
Thud.
A key fell to the ground.
Qu Qingli held it in her hand and examined it, her gaze falling on the locked cabinet in front of her.
This seems to be a place where Chi Ying-chou keeps his personal belongings.
Still locked?
What amazing treasure did you put there?
Qu Qingli was opening up, but oscillating between morality and curiosity.
The final decision was to open it.
This is her home, and everything here belongs to her.
Of course she can see it.
After much hesitation, Qu Qingli nervously opened the drawer.
The first thing that catches the eye is a transparent box.
It contained hair of different colors and lengths, but all neatly arranged.
hair?
This length can only belong to her.
That bastard Chi Yingzhou actually collected her hair?!
Qu Qingli flipped through the pages again and found that there were quite a few things.
Most of the things were things she bought for him, and they were all treasured.
At the bottom was a bulging snakeskin bag, its contents unknown.
Qu Qingli took it out, the snakeskin bag was opened, and scattered photos fell to the ground like snowflakes.
Without exception, everyone in the photo is her.
From when she first entered the welfare home in her teens to now.
Happy, crying, confused, angry...
Sitting, standing, lying down, sleeping...
All poses and expressions are available.
Many of the photos I don't even remember.
Looking at the photos scattered all over the ground, Qu Qingli stood there stunned for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
Just as Assistant Zhou said, Chi Yingzhou had secretly liked him for more than ten years without anyone knowing.
even--
He knew himself before Liang Muye.
Over the years, he has secretly protected and helped her and Liang Muye.
She already likes Liang Muye, so why is he still doing so much?
Is it because of a lack of love that one feels so inferior?
Thinking about this...
Qu Qingli felt a sudden, sharp pain in her heart, followed by a profound sense of powerlessness.
Why does she seem like a heartless woman who started something and then abandoned it?
——
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
After a full night's rest, Chi Yingzhou slowly opened his eyes.
He was greeted by a familiar room, the air filled with a comforting scent.
Is this Ali's bedroom?
Chi Yingzhou sat up and recalled what had happened yesterday.
Ali chased him away and then slammed the door shut.
The person fainted immediately.
When did he become so fragile?!
Oh, right.
Where is Ali?
Chi Yingzhou threw off the covers and got out of bed, rushing to the living room without even putting on his shoes.
No one was in the living room.
The restroom was empty.
There was no one in the study either.
Lying on your side...
His secret drawer was opened, and everything hidden inside was gone.
Ali probably already knows.
Will she think he's a pervert?
Do you really not want him anymore?
Ignoring the fact that his low blood sugar had not fully recovered, Chi Yingzhou walked out in a daze.
As I opened the door, I bumped into Qu Qingli, who was returning with her takeout.
What are you doing?
Seeing that he was barefoot and his hair was messy, Qu Qingli frowned and asked.
"..."
Chi Yingzhou looked at her, his eyes turning red in an instant.
A few seconds later, he pulled her into a tight embrace, his voice humble: "Ah Li, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Qu Qingli was almost suffocating from his grip, and frowned deeply: "Holding me so tight, are you trying to kill me?"
"no."
Chi Yingzhou was still shaken and held her tightly, refusing to let go.
He was afraid it was all a dream, so he let go of the person and ran away.
"Chi Yingzhou, you're pressing on my stomach," Qu Qingli said patiently again.
child?
Chi Yingzhou regained his composure, slowly released her, and stared at her with red eyes, like a wounded and aggrieved puppy waiting for its owner to pet it.
"What are you looking at? Put on your shoes and come eat." Qu Qingli withdrew her gaze and walked to the dining room to fiddle with the food containers.
"..."
Chi Yingzhou dared not utter a sound and obediently followed.
Wherever Qu Qingli went, he followed like a tail.
"you--"
After Qu Qingli finished washing her hands, she turned around and bumped right into Chi Yingzhou's arms.
"My head!" Qu Qingli clutched her forehead, glaring at him with a pained expression. "Are you a dog?"
"sorry."
Chi Yingzhou spoke with concern, then staggered off to get the medicine.
"Hey!"
Seeing his unsteady gait, Qu Qingli quickly helped him up.
"..."
Chi Yingzhou's eyes lit up, and he leaned against her.
——
good evening.
