Chapter 19 Pretending to be good
Lu Guanqi slowly turned his head to look at him, his expression was so complicated that it was hard to describe. He felt a sense of helplessness as if he had been hurt by a scumbag and couldn't blame others for his wrongdoing.
Why should I reply yes to Zhou Jinxiu but give him a cold no?
Qi Yanxue, this cold and heartless person!
Zhou Jinxiu: "I was wondering why that voice sounded so familiar. It turns out you were the one fighting with my brother for that necklace."
Lu Guanqi asked in surprise, "Is your brother Zhou Sian back?"
"Yes, let's get together some other time." Zhou Jinxiu added, "Qi Yanxue, I'm a little curious who you're planning to give that necklace to. Someone's willing to spend 60 million for it, so it must be someone very important!"
Lu Guanqi came forward with curiosity written all over his face.
There are only a handful of women around Qi Yanxue. His biological mother died when he was five years old, and his stepmother lives far away abroad. He hasn't seen her for a long time. Apart from his younger sister Qi Suijing, there is also a taboo that cannot be touched.
No one else.
Lu Guanqi even thought that Qi Yanxue was a sheep in wolf's clothing, with a face that was more colorful than anyone else's, but actually as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
Thinking back to when such a blank piece of paper was caught up by someone, Lu Guanqi was also shocked.
Qi Yanxue rolled down the car window a little, and a cool breeze blew in, blowing her hair away. She said quietly in the wind, "Who said that I'm going to give it to someone else if I can't keep it as a collection?"
Zhou Jinxiu: “…”
Lu Guanqi: “…”
Is it appropriate for a hot-blooded man to collect women's necklaces?
Qi Yanxue didn't find it outrageous at all and spoke again, "Please pay the check directly to the seller for me, and I'll give you the apartment in the southern suburbs later."
The problem with the apartment in the southern suburbs is not the price of the house, but that there is absolutely no way to buy it. Only insiders have the channels.
Zhou Jinxiu had been eyeing that apartment for a long time. Now, as if struck by a huge surprise, he was incoherent for a moment. After a long while, he said loudly and sincerely, "It's a small matter!"
Lu Guanqi noticed something was wrong and squinted at him: "Do you know the seller of this necklace? Could it be the drunkard who bit you the other day?"
Like a civet that can't find any melons in a melon field, Zhou Jinxiu kept asking himself a series of questions: "What are you biting? What are you biting? Where are you biting? Which drunkard?"
The light turned red. Qi Yanxue slowly stepped on the brakes and stared ahead silently, with no intention of speaking.
Lu Guanqi persisted: "Could it be that you have fallen in love with someone else?"
Qi Yanxue turned her head to look at him, her eyes dark, and asked, "Who am I in love with?"
Zhou Jinxiu's voice came through the speaker on the other end of the phone, and he enunciated three letters clearly: "Z, W, D."
Lu Guanqi: “?”
Qi Yanxue: “?”
Are you sick? Does Chinese mean hot in the mouth?
Qi Yanxue said suddenly: "Since you can't speak Chinese, I don't recommend enrolling you in an early childhood education class. It's just that you're a bit old for your age."
“…”
Zhou Jinxiu roared, "I'm just afraid of offending you by telling you!"
After the red light passed, Qi Yanxue started the car again and said without hesitation: "It hasn't reached that level yet."
Lu Guanqi swallowed silently, but smiled without saying anything.
You didn't say that five years ago.
"Honestly, are you and Zhu Wendong going to rekindle your relationship?" Lu Guanqi asked bluntly.
Based on his many years of experience in reading melodramatic articles, he knew that the necklace seller and the heartless drunkard were all bullshit. This was probably the same person from beginning to end.
The temperature in Qi Yanxue's eyes turned cold, and he said lazily: "If you ask any more questions, I don't mind leaving you halfway."
have to.
This is really touching the reverse scale.
Lu Guanqi shut up consciously.
Before Zhou Jinxiu hung up the phone, he said, "Remember to come to the club tomorrow night to get together."
The car fell silent.
Qi Yanxue's bony hands turned the steering wheel nonchalantly, and the cool breeze blew on his face through a small gap in the car window, making him overly calm and sober.
After sending Lu Guanqi back to the old house, Qi Yanxue returned to Biesong.
-
At night, don’t stay in the community.
Zhu Wendong sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. He felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't stand or sit.
Every nerve in her body is connected to the next door, and the slightest disturbance can make her nervous.
I don’t know if it’s because the sound insulation is too good, but Zhu Wendong couldn’t hear anything even when he put his head against the door.
Unable to wait any longer, she turned the doorknob and planned to knock on the door opposite, but the door opposite happened to open at that moment.
A familiar man and a dog came out.
As soon as Qi Yanxue opened the door, he saw Zhu Wendong standing there. He looked directly into his well-behaved, dark, and purposeful almond-shaped eyes, and raised his eyebrows calmly.
His gaze stayed on her for only a second, then he ignored her and stood in front of the elevator.
She didn't say anything when he pressed the elevator button.
She said nothing while he waited for the elevator.
He entered the elevator and she still didn't speak.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, a white, tender, and well-nourished hand stopped in the middle of the elevator.
The elevator door sensed and reopened.
Qi Yanxue stood in the middle of the elevator, wearing the black windbreaker she had washed. His eyes were as cold as ink as he looked down at her. He looked cold and aloof, making people stay away from him.
Zhu Wendong considered for a moment and called his name: "Qi Yanxue."
A moment of silence.
Qi Yanxue lowered her eyelashes slightly, "What's the matter?"
A slightly lazy voice sounded, like jade knocking on porcelain, cool and mellow.
Zhu Wendong frowned, his fingertips curled under his sleeves, and after a while he spoke, "Will you sell the necklace at today's auction?"
The elevator door was about to close again, so Zhu Wendong simply got into the elevator.
The elevator was not very spacious, and Qi Yanxue stood in the middle with no intention of backing down. The dog sat obediently on the side, taking up quite a bit of space.
Zhu Wendong could only stand in a small space in front of him. As the distance got closer, the smell of the same laundry detergent as on his body rushed into his nostrils.
Qi Yanxue's voice rang out above him, asking in a rhetorical tone, "Do you want to buy it?"
Zhu Wendong looked up at him and nodded: "Although I can't pay more than the auction price now, I will slowly pay you back in the future."
When asking for help, he knows how to act good.
Qi Yanxue raised the corner of his lips, with a hint of bad humor: "What if I don't agree?"
Zhu Wendong's throat was choked and his words were stuck there.
He knew what this necklace meant to her. After all, when they were in love, the deeper their love was, the more Qi Yanxue loved her, the stronger his desire to control her became.
He wanted to know everything about her, whether good, embarrassing, or trivial, from the big things like how she felt when she caught up with him to the small things like the injuries she suffered from chasing butterflies in kindergarten.
The key point is that Qi Yanxue likes to ask about these things after the fact. Every time Zhu Wendong is so tired that he can hardly breathe, he still has to be forced to tell him bit by bit.
The most important thing is that Qi Yanxue has a good memory. It’s like there is a notebook in her mind that belongs to Zhu Wendong, and every word she said is engraved on it.
She spoke bit by bit, and he engraved it bit by bit, as devout as a believer.
If he chooses not to sell, Zhu Wendong cannot put a knife to his neck and force him to sell, so there is no solution to this problem.
Zhu Wendong's head slowly drooped, like a withered white camellia, losing its luster.
"I didn't say I won't sell it. Why are you looking so sad?" His voice sounded again above his head.
Zhu Wendong suddenly raised his head and blinked twice. It seemed as if his eyes were filled with stars again, as bright as the Milky Way.
Qi Yanxue saw his own reflection in those eyes. He sneered and said calmly, "I have a condition."
At this moment, even if Qi Yanxue asked her to swim in the river, she would agree.
Zhu Wendong said obediently: "You say."
