Chapter 130 Who taught you to apologize and kowtow?
"Did I say something wrong?" Qin Jiaojiao counted on her fingers and stared at the ground with her eyes lowered.
Ji Lin leaned close to Lu Shiman's ear and lowered his voice: "Did you teach her to apologize like this?"
Lu Shiman nodded at first, then immediately shook her head: "I just suggested that she kowtow, but I didn't mean for her to apologize like this."
"She's not in the best of minds at times like this."
"It doesn't matter. Huo Beiyan is also mentally retarded, so they are a perfect match." Ji Linshen chuckled.
"That's true, but Jiaojiao is so dumb with words. I even tried to teach her how to say it on the way, but in the end, her apology was still a mess."
"Not everyone can talk like you." Ji Linshen pinched her fingertips and stroked along her fingers to the back of her hand.
"Ji Linshen, you're so sweet today." Lu Shiman felt a little embarrassed by his praise. She held his hand and put it on her cheek: "Aren't you in a meeting? Why are you here?"
"To supervise a moron doing his work."
The two were chatting as if no one was around. When they looked up, they saw Huo Beiyan and Qin Jiaojiao staring at them with a grin.
"We have ears and can hear the sound, so you two should at least control the volume." Huo Beiyan glanced at the two people who were getting along with each other unhappily.
Qin Jiaojiao quietly approached Huo Beiyan and gently tugged at his sleeve: "I never called you a moron."
"I know, calling me an idiot is much worse than being brain-dead."
"Huo Beiyan, I'm sorry. I hated you before, but I don't hate you now. I spoke without thinking and made you sad." Qin Jiaojiao said, shaking her hand that was pulling his sleeve gently.
Huo Beiyan watched Qin Jiaojiao's lips opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what she said. The sound of his heartbeat drowned out her apology.
Seeing that Huo Beiyan didn't respond, Qin Jiaojiao moved her hand that was pulling his sleeve a little bit until she held his hand: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
"What?"
"I said, I don't hate you now. I'm sorry for making you sad~" Qin Jiaojiao repeated, looking at Huo Beiyan's face. Her chest felt like it was hit hard by a wild boar, and her heartbeat was disordered.
The soft and sweet apology penetrated into Huo Beiyan's cochlea, burned along his spine like a prairie fire, and flowed into his heart through his blood vessels.
"Tsk, words like that won't bother me." Huo Beiyan sneered, but his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Qin Jiaojiao snorted and loosened her grip on his hand. The moment she let go, Huo Beiyan grabbed her hand tightly again, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to prove something.
Ji Lin smiled deeply but said nothing.
Lu Shiman curled her lips: "Ji Linshen, guess whether it's the water splashing in the frying pan, or Huo Beiyan being a mean person."
Ji Linshen: "I guess he is a mean person."
Qin Jiaojiao raised her hand weakly: "I also guess that he is a mean person."
"Correct answer!" Lu Shiman applauded and felt proud of the two of them.
"Who taught you to apologize and kowtow?" Huo Beiyan's heart trembled when he thought of his wife who had just come in and kowtowed several times.
"Manman taught me. She said that Ji Linshen was brought here by her in this way." Qin Jiaojiao answered truthfully.
Lu Shiman nodded seriously: "That's right, when you are in doubt, kowtow first."
Huo Beiyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Ji Linshen's expression, he swallowed his words back silently.
"I've apologized, Manman, let's go." They still had important things to do.
Huo Beiyan raised his wrist to check the time: "Let's have dinner together tonight."
The four of them had never had a meal together.
Qin Jiaojiao did not agree immediately, but turned her gaze to Lu Shiman: "Manman, do you want to have dinner with him? If you go, I will go too."
Lu Shiman thought for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Linshen: "Do you want to have dinner with Huo Beiyan? If you want to go, I'll go."
Huo Beiyan felt a little uncomfortable. He felt like the brick at the bottom of the pyramid, the being at the bottom of the food chain.
His wife listens to Lu Shiman, and Lu Shiman listens to Ji Linshen.
He felt that next time he could skip the two of them and just ask Ji Linshen.
"Mr. Ji, is this okay?" Huo Beiyan glanced at Ji Linshen, somewhat reluctant to look into his smug eyes.
"Okay." Ji Lin curled his lips deeply. Seeing his friend being humiliated was indeed a pleasure for him.
Huo Beiyan asked his assistant to cancel the dinner, skipped Qin Jiaojiao and Lu Shiman, and turned to look at Ji Linshen: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Lu Shiman and Qin Jiaojiao looked at each other, and there was some understanding in their eyes.
She got up from Ji Linshen's legs: "Jiaojiao, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Qin Jiaojiao knew what she wanted to say to herself, and immediately shook off Huo Beiyan's hand: "Yes, yes, you go with me."
The two went into the bathroom and locked the door.
"See? Huo Beiyan doesn't want to have dinner with you and me at all. His target is Ji Linshen." Qin Jiaojiao was a little excited.
Lu Shiman put his finger to his lips: "Shh, speak softly, don't let anyone hear you."
"Manman, your analysis is correct. Huo Beiyan's white moonlight is really Ji Linshen." Qin Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable, but she also felt that it was normal to lose to Ji Linshen.
"I don't know if Ji Lin knows it or not." Lu Shiman was not very happy either. She felt like her treasure was being coveted by others.
"They probably don't know. If they knew, how could they be so peaceful?"
"Huo Beiyan is playing a secret crush?"
"Tsk, he looks so arrogant all the time, but turns out to be a wimp." Qin Jiaojiao gritted her teeth.
"Jiaojiao, it's okay. You don't like him anyway. He can have a crush on whoever he wants. Just give you money to spend." Lu Shiman didn't know how to comfort her.
Hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao was a little confused.
The two chatted in the bathroom for about ten minutes, and finally came to the conclusion that Huo Beiyan married Qin Jiaojiao to cover up the truth that he had a crush on Ji Linshen.
"There's something wrong with them." Huo Beiyan suddenly said, "Very wrong."
After Ji Linshen replied to the important message, he looked up at Huo Beiyan and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I can't explain it. Order some private dining. After you finish eating, take your sponsor away. Don't give them the chance to get together."
The bathroom door opened, and Qin Jiaojiao followed Lu Shiman with mixed feelings. The sentence "You don't like him anyway" kept turning around in her mind.
Yes, I don’t like him, so why does it make me feel so uncomfortable knowing that he has someone else in his heart?
"Manman, come to my house tomorrow and we'll look through it together to see if there are any more clues." Qin Jiaojiao was determined to find solid evidence.
Otherwise, she couldn't sleep at night.
Lu Shiman turned around and said, "Jiaojiao, have you ever thought about asking Huo Beiyan directly?"
"What if he doesn't admit it? It's better to just throw the evidence in his face."
"That's right. I'll come to see you tomorrow." Lu Shiman felt that what Qin Jiaojiao said made sense.
"Manman, you will support me no matter what I do, right?"
As they were talking, they had already walked to the desk.
Lu Shiman thought for a moment and said, "No."
Qin Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with sadness. She lowered her head and heard Lu Shiman continue to speak.
"If you're going to eat shit, I'll definitely stop you."
