She looked up and saw a face that was not familiar but one she had seen before.

"Qin Hao? Cheng Ji's younger brother, Qin Qianyue's biological brother?"

"It seems you know me."

She was indeed deeply impressed, whether it was the time when Cheng Ji punished him in the hotel or when she heard him planning to trick Cheng Ji in the massage parlor.

She couldn't forget them.

She chuckled, "Kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy from Cheng Ji, the impression is too deep, I can't forget it."

Hearing this, the veins on Qin Hao's forehead began to bulge.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Qin Hao, "I think you are quite brave to sneak into a massage parlor and secretly record the video."

Shangguan Qing straightened her skirt, without any sign of panic at being exposed.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qin Hao raised his lips to sneer, his eyes showed a trace of contempt, and he lowered his voice to ask,

"Tell me, you are so deliberate in getting close to Cheng Ji, are you trying to get something from him? Money? Or something else?"

He didn't believe that anyone would be willing to get close to someone who was born to bring death to his family.

If there were no interests involved, why would they choose such a disaster?

When Shangguan Qing heard this, he just found it funny.

She eh?

As the Lord of the Underworld, you can easily sell an antique to provide an ordinary person with food and drink for the rest of his life. Why do you still need to make money from others?

She was not in a hurry to refute and continued speaking along with what Qin Hao said.

"So if I want money, what are you going to do?"

Qin Hao looked smug as he expected, and stepped on the stones at his feet.

"I can give you 1 billion plus shares of Qin's Enterprise, as long as you cooperate with me. If it's not enough, I can also give you shares of Cheng's Group."

Wow, this is a huge investment.

Unfortunately, he found the wrong person.

"Really? But..."

Shangguan Qing did not avoid or evade, but looked at him firmly with a faint smile on his face.

"What if I don't just want the money? I also want him as a person."

To be precise, I just want him as a person.

"......"

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with shock, "Do you know anything about his past?"

"I don't know. Tell me."

She opened her clear and innocent eyes, full of curiosity.

Qin Hao's eyes darkened and he seemed speechless.

But I still told her about Cheng Ji's past experiences.

"You can go back to Cheng's house and ask Uncle Yan about his life story. He knows it well, but I can tell you something that everyone doesn't know."

Are there any others? Shangguan Qing was really curious now.

Qin Hao, "During the summer after he graduated from high school, he secretly left Beijing and went to an underground casino. His money was not clean.

Also, during his military training in his freshman year, he was often seen walking with rich girls, and he was often surrounded by people who changed. The reason was easy to guess without checking.

More importantly, last year a woman came to him and asked him to take responsibility. Someone wanted to expose the incident, but he stopped her.”

If he said something else, she might believe it, but saying that Cheng Ji hooked up with a rich girl?

Even if Qin Hao was beaten to death, she wouldn't believe it at all.

A man and a woman go out to play, and the only thing on his mind is climbing mountains and breathing fresh air. Which rich girl would be interested in this straight man?

As for Cheng Ji going to the underground casino, this is possible.

After all, he needs enough capital to start a business.

"I thought you could tell me some shocking news."

That's all.

After saying that, Shangguan Qing stood up and walked towards the hospital gate.

Qin Hao was surprised by her indifferent reaction and shouted behind her, "Don't you mind people like him?"

Someone like him?

how?

He is serious about charity work, a breath of fresh air in the capital world, and he is rich, handsome, and has a good figure. He knows how to take care of and respect people. He is a rare man with normal values ​​among modern men.

Why should she mind?

Shangguan Qing didn't even bother to reply and walked straight towards the door.

A breeze blew by, lifting the hair in front of her forehead, and seemed to blow away some of the tension.

She stood by the roadside and waved gently to stop a taxi.

After getting in the car, she told the driver the destination: Dengqing Antique Shop.

Then, he tapped the screen with his finger and sent a short message to Cheng Ji.

[I have something to do at the antique shop, so I'll be back later.]

After sending the message, she gently placed the phone on her knees and looked out the window.

Cheng Ji was standing outside the ward. He felt his phone vibrate and slid his finger lightly across the screen.

After seeing the message, I replied with a simple "OK" and then put down the phone.

After a few minutes, his peripheral vision inadvertently swept across Qin Hao's approaching figure.

Qin Hao's steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be in step with an invisible beat. There was a subtle atmosphere of confrontation in the air.

He stood in front of Cheng Ji, the distance between them maintained just the right boundary, yet seemed like they were on the verge of breaking out at any moment.

Qin Hao's eyes were deep and a complex smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. That smile contained both provocation and a subtle expectation.

"Brother, are you happy to see me again?"

He whispered, with an arrogant tone.

Cheng Ji responded calmly, with a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes, "It seems your hand has healed and you've forgotten the pain."

Qin Hao has liked targeting Cheng Ji since he was a child.

The two had fought countless times, and Qin Hao was usually at a disadvantage, but he always forgot the pain after his wounds healed and refused to give up.

The smile on Qin Hao's lips gradually solidified into a hint of coldness.

"Guess who I saw downstairs?"

He looked at Cheng Ji with an expression of watching a good show.

"Guess what I told Shangguan Qing about your dirty past, word for word. What would she think? If she tears off your mask, will she still stay with you?"

His words were like a sharp dagger, gently cutting through the air and piercing Cheng Ji's heart.

Cheng Ji's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked into Qin Hao's eyes. There was both determination and a subtle uneasiness in his eyes.

"Do you think she's as stupid as you? Qin Hao, I gave you a chance to leave. Since you don't cherish it, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to burst out from his chest with unquestionable power.

Qin Hao's mouth once again showed a meaningful smile.

"What do you mean by giving me a chance? Don't talk like I owe you one. Aren't you happy that you don't have to pretend to be a family? You can fool Qianyue with this face, but you can't fool me. Don't be too hypocritical and fool yourself!"

His words were like the coldest wind in the night, carrying a chill that could not be ignored.

After saying that, he slowly turned around and walked into the ward at a moderate pace.

Cheng Ji stood there, his eyes deep and complicated, as if a silent battle was going on deep in his heart.

He held the phone tightly, and veins on the back of his hand popped out from the force.

He quickly flipped through the message sent by Shangguan Qing.

I suddenly felt uneasy and sensitive, and all kinds of speculations began to emerge...

Didn't she want to go to Dengqing Antique Shop again? Why did she go there suddenly after meeting Qin Hao?

Is it because of what Qin Hao said that you don’t want to go back to Cheng’s house?

Will she misunderstand that I am the kind of person Qin Hao described?

How should I explain? Will she believe me...
