"I'll collect your things for you." Zhan Qipei came to Qiao Jing with a big box in his arms.
He was very curious about what was in the box. The courier had just told him that the items in the box were worth over 100 million. What did Qiao Jin buy that was so expensive?
Moreover, he and Qiao Jing have been living together for four months. Qiao Jing rarely buys things online, let alone buying such expensive things online.
"Oh, thank you." Qiao Jing calmly moved the courier to the room, closed the door, and then began to unpack the courier.
Qiao Jing's behavior made Zhan Qipei even more confused. There was something he couldn't see.
Could it be——
Underwear?
What underwear is worth 100 million? Made of gold and diamonds?
Although he was very curious, this matter was Qiao Jing's privacy and it was not convenient for him to ask.
"Dangdang-" Zhan Qipei raised his hand and knocked on the door, "I'm going out. You don't have to wait for me at night, and you don't have to leave a light for me. I should be back very late."
"okay, I get it."
As soon as Qiao Jin finished replying to the message, he received a message from Wu Xirui.
"Have you received the stuff?"
"Um."
"Like it?"
Qiao Jing just finished unpacking it, which was a light pink evening dress, as well as some jewelry, shoes, and bags.
It doesn't look cheap.
"How much?"
Wu Xirui called directly.
"I know you don't like to accept other people's things casually. Just think of this as something I lent to you. Just return it to me after you finish wearing it tonight."
Wu Xirui said this, and it would be too unkind for Qiao Jing to refuse again.
Although she always felt that Wu Xirui's purpose in approaching her was not simple, at least Wu Xirui had not done anything to hurt her now.
She has always been someone who doesn't offend others unless they offend her, so there's no need to go to the trouble of making random enemies for herself.
"Okay, I'll return it to you after tonight."
"Well, I'll pick you up tonight."
"I'll take a taxi myself -" Qiao Jing was interrupted by Wu Xirui before he could finish his words.
"There may be a thunderstorm tonight. It won't be good if you wear such expensive clothes and get caught in the rain."
After hearing what Wu Xirui said, Qiao Jin clicked on the weather on his phone.
It will indeed rain tonight, and it will rain quite a bit.
It's okay for her to get caught in the rain, but her clothes and jewelry are not hers. If they get damaged by the rain, it's her responsibility.
"Then if you don't mind the trouble, you can come over."
At about 6:30 in the evening, Wu Xirui drove over in person.
"I'm here." Wu Xirui called Qiao Jing.
"I saw it, come down now." When Qiao Jing was standing on the balcony just now, she happened to see Wu Xirui's car approaching.
Three minutes later, Wu Xirui looked at the woman wearing the evening dress he specially prepared for her, with an extremely stunning look in her eyes.
"I knew this evening dress would suit you very well."
Wu Xirui said as if he was going to take Qiao Jing's hand and prepare the back of Qiao Jing's hand.
As a result, Qiao Jing didn't give Wu Xirui this chance at all. When he stretched out his hand, Qiao Jing passed directly by him, opened the car door and got in.
Wu Xirui had a helpless and interested smile on his face. He was not angry at all about Qiao Jing's behavior, but was very excited.
Soon, the car arrived at the hotel where the banquet was held.
After getting off the car, Wu Xirui handed his hand to Qiao Jing, meaning that Qiao Jing should take it.
Qiao Jing frowned slightly, obviously not thinking.
"To save my face, can you see which female companion doesn't hold her arm like this? There's no other meaning, it's just a matter of courtesy." Wu Xirui stretched his arm in front of Qiao Jing again.
Although Qiao Jing was still reluctant, she understood that it was just a matter of courtesy.
Finally, Qiao Jin reached out and took Wu Xirui's arm and walked in with him.
In the banquet hall, Zhan Qi Pei was drinking red wine alone.
"Huh? Mr. Zhan, why didn't you bring Qiao Jing with you? Didn't you always tie her to your waistband before? Today is very unusual! To be honest, did you two have a fight?" Lu Zijiao was confused.
ask.
Zhan Qi Pei put down his wine glass and raised his eyes to glance at Lu Zijiao, "Did I have a quarrel with Qiao Jing and you just let your brother take advantage of it and come in immediately?"
"Young Master Zhan, you are treating me like an outsider by saying this, and I am not happy to hear that."
"Oh?" Zhan Qipei raised his handsome eyebrows, "You mean, compared with me and your brother, your brother is the outsider?"
Zhan Qi Pei was arrogant and guilty when he asked this question.
"Hey - this is a matter between you and my brother, I don't want to get involved."
In fact, it's not that Lu Zijiao doesn't want to get involved, but that his brother is just a boring gourd and a piece of wood, and he doesn't know how to do it. It's useless even if he works hard by the side.
If this is the case, then he will do nothing. Whether it is fighting Qi Pei or his brother, it all depends on his own ability.
"You haven't answered me when I asked you just now? Why didn't you bring Qiao Jing over? Is it true that you two had a quarrel as I analyzed?"
"She has a patient and needs to see a doctor. She doesn't have time." Zhan Qipei said while gently swaying his wine glass.
"Oh. That's it -" Lu Zijiao picked up the wine glass, raised his head and took a sip, and suddenly it spurted out.
"What are you doing?" Zhan Qipei frowned, and the wine Lu Zijiao spurted just now splashed on him.
"Cough cough cough - no, it's not - Master Zhan, look, cough cough cough - look, what - what's going on?!" Lu Zijiao opened his eyes and pointed in the direction of the door.
Zhan Qipei looked doubtfully in the direction that Lu Zijiao pointed, and at a glance he saw Qiao Jing walking in from the hotel door holding Wu Xirui's arm, and his face instantly darkened.
"Cough cough cough -" Lu Zijiao patted his chest, ignoring how badly he was choked, and continued: "Master Zhan, what's going on? Didn't you say she went to see a patient? How could she talk to others?
Are you here with a man? And this person is still—it’s still him!”
Zhan Qi Pei put down his wine glass and stood up. His whole body exuded a cold aura that said no strangers should enter his body. He strode towards Qiao Jing with a step that he did not recognize his relatives.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk -" Lu Zijiao smacked his lips, "It's over, the storm is coming soon."
"Rumble, rumble--" There was a burst of thunder and lightning outside.
Lu Zijiao looked out through the window, "This is really - quite the occasion!"
Qiao Jing's attention was attracted by the thunder. When she looked away, she caught a glimpse of Zhan Qi Pei striding towards her.
Why is he here too?
Speaking of which, he seemed to have said that he was going to attend a business banquet today. But he didn't expect such a coincidence.
"you--"
As soon as Qiao Jing finished speaking, Zhan Qipei grabbed her wrist and pulled her.
She was wearing stiletto heels. When Zhan Qi Pei suddenly pulled her, her center of gravity became unstable and her body leaned forward uncontrollably, falling towards the man.
