Chapter 7: Rescue and Apology
Wei Yunxi is the son of Wei Qiming in his old age. He is usually spoiled and can do whatever he wants in the whole Rongchuan. But the person opposite him is Zhou Jingyu. Doesn’t he want to kill their Wei family?
Wei Yunxi shuddered when he heard his father's voice, "Dad."
Wei Qiming slapped him directly, "Dad? What dad? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Zhou?"
Wei Yunxi covered his face, angry but not daring to speak, and said unconvincedly to the man who had disturbed his good deeds: "I'm sorry."
There was really no apology in his tone.
Wei Qiming patted his head again and said, "Talk nicely."
Wei Yunxi moved his lips, and Zhou Jingyu stroked the watch on his wrist and said slowly: "Master Wei, the one who should apologize is Miss Chen, not me."
Chen Zan's pupils suddenly constricted, and he subconsciously looked at Zhou Jingyu's profile. His eyes, hidden under the dim light, set off his well-defined facial features, which made him look even more handsome and noble.
Just by staring, the feeling of oppression comes like a tide.
She couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, but she could sense for some reason that he was in a bad mood.
Upon hearing this, Wei Qiming looked at Chen Zhan. The girl looked young, but extremely beautiful. He immediately understood what kind of person Wei Yunxi was and glared at him, "Are you deaf? Why don't you apologize to the girl quickly?"
Wei Yunxi cursed Chen Zhan in his heart for being so lucky today, and said with a sinister look in his eyes, "Miss Chen, I'm sorry."
Chen Zan pursed his lips slightly, knowing that Wei Yunxi would definitely not let it go.
Zhou Jingyu glanced at Wei Yunxi, his eyes looking at him as if he were trash, "Uncle Wei, you must discipline the child well, don't let him accidentally harm the whole family one day."
His words were casual, but Wei Qiming's heart trembled when he heard them. He had been with Zhou Jingyu for so many days, hoping to build closer ties with the Zhou family, and this rebellious son almost ruined everything.
But when being scolded by several juniors, Wei Qiming suppressed the displeasure in his eyes and apologized a few more times.
Seeing that Zhou Jingyu didn't say anything, he turned around and told someone to send Wei Yunxi back. After explaining things to the secretary next to him, he looked at Zhou Jingyu again, but saw the man slightly stretched out his hand, and Zhang Qing handed him a square folded handkerchief.
When the handkerchief was handed to him, Chen Zhan looked at the man blankly, and was met with the man's strong and deep eyes, which seemed to contain some deep meaning.
"Wipe it off."
Zhou Jingyu spoke in a calm and cold voice, pointing to the place where her chin had just been touched by Wei Yunxi.
Chen Zhan's body was still tense. He turned his gaze away and took the phone and whispered, "Thank you."
The little girl was wearing a white long skirt with a cotton and linen knitted cardigan on the outside. Her frightened face turned even paler, and her clear and bright eyes were now faintly red.
It looks like he wants to pin her down and bully her! !
Zhou Jingyu's Adam's apple moved slightly, not daring to think further. His gaze dropped down to the two patches of her skin that were pinched red by Wei Yunxi. His eyes narrowed slightly, which was very eye-catching.
Why is her skin so thin?
Now I think that asking Wei Yunxi to just apologize was too easy for him.
The coldness in his eyes suddenly came straight at her without any warning, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
After a moment, it disappeared again.
A man's deep voice came from above: "What happened just now?"
Chen Zan then told everything that happened tonight.
Zhou Jingyu scoffed. "Miss Chen was tricked into coming here with just a text message. She might be sold out one day without even knowing it."
She was very unhappy with the tone of preaching and frowned, wanting to refute, but she thought that the other party had just helped her, and he knew her grandmother, so she might be scolding the younger generation.
Less trouble is worse than more, so he nodded obediently, "Mr. Zhou is right. Thank you Mr. Zhou for tonight."
Zhou Jingyu's lips curled up with a hint of amusement. Is there something sarcastic in this girl's words?
Wei Qiming came over and said, "I'm so sorry, Jingyu. My son is really naughty. I will teach him a lesson. I scared this girl tonight. I'll arrange a car to take her home."
Wei Qiming spoke to Zhou Jingyu, but gave Chen Zan a meaningful look.
This look was like a poisonous snake, making Chen Zan very uncomfortable. She didn't even notice that her steps were subconsciously moving closer to Zhou Jingyu.
She also knew this person. Anyone from Rongchuan should know who Wei Qiming is.
The man called out Zhang Qing's name.
Zhang Qing spoke up at this moment: "Deputy Minister Wei, Miss Chen is Mr. Zhou's friend, so there's no need to trouble you."
Wei Qiming glanced between the two of them and said, "That's all."

Zhou Jingyu arranged for Zhang Qing to drive Chen Zan back to school. Only then did she know that the guests being entertained in Guansong Hall today were all prominent figures in Rongchuan, and this Mr. Zhou was the object of flattery by everyone there.
Ordinary people were afraid of the Wei family, and even though they had lost face by being watched for no reason, they had to be polite to Zhou Jingyu.
Chen Zhan thought that what his grandmother had described that day was absolutely correct. The Zhou family, who were well-off in the capital, coming to Rongchuan was no different from an ancient prince going on an incognito visit.
Tonight also allowed her to witness with her own eyes the class gap between people.
The night wind blew by, and Chen Zan couldn't help but fold his arms. Zhou Jingyu, who was originally invited back by Wei Qiming, left and returned.
She said in a daze: "Mr. Zhou."
The next second, the coat in Zhou Jingyu's hand was draped over the girl's thin body. The warmth from his fingertips touched her shoulders, and she couldn't help but shrank back.
Before she could react, Zhou Jingyu had already withdrawn his hand.
Chen Zhan pursed his lips and said, "No need."
I wanted to take off the coat and give it back to her.
"It's just a piece of clothing." Zhou Jingyu said calmly, "It's cold, wear it. Zhang Qing will take you back."
Chen Zhan stopped grabbing the clothes, nodded hesitantly, and whispered, "Thank you."
After checking the surveillance footage, Zhang Qing came back and confirmed that the friend Chen Zan mentioned had been picked up by the family driver in advance.
Zhou Jingyu lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Are you relieved now, Miss Chen?"
Chen Zan's tense nerves finally relaxed. He raised his eyelids slightly and met the man's ink-soaked eyes. He quickly looked away and said thank you.
Zhang Qing smiled when he heard that, but when he saw Chen Zhan's coat, his eyes froze for a moment, then he said, "Miss Chen, I'll take you back to school."
Chen Zan followed Zhang Qing for a distance and heard the sound of a lighter igniting behind her. She couldn't help but look back.
The floor light was dim. Zhou Jingyu lowered his head slightly and lit a cigarette. There was a scarlet spot on his fingertips and a little gray-white smoke. He looked lazy, noble, yet dark and gloomy.
Chen Zan glanced at his silver watch and thought that it was indeed Zhou Jingyu whom he saw from afar when he came here earlier.
As if aware of her gaze, Zhou Jingyu turned his head to look over. Chen Zan's breathing paused slightly, and he withdrew his gaze and followed Secretary Zhang away.
Secretary Zhang was not driving the Audi he drove when he visited his grandmother that day. Instead, he drove a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and even the license plate number was very high-profile.
When he came out, he happened to meet two policemen who had responded to Chen Zan's call. After a responsible person came over to negotiate for a few words, the police left.
From beginning to end, Chen Zan's phone never rang.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, and suddenly felt great panic and fear in her heart. If she hadn't met Zhou Jingyu tonight, she really didn't know what would have happened.
Zhang Qing adjusted the parking space's air conditioner to a suitable temperature. "Ms. Chen, Rongchuan University, right?"
Chen Zhan nodded.
