Qiao Jing looked back at the man steadily. The man's deep, dark eyes reflected only her, and it felt like there was no room for anyone else.
The water on the man's hair dripped down his forehead and onto his face and nose. The man didn't care at all and just stared at Qiao Jing.
Lu Zijiao scratched the back of his head and looked at his nose and heart.
The atmosphere became tense, but the man continued to stand in the rain. As he watched, Qiao Jing became angry for no apparent reason.
"If I don't answer today, will you keep standing here in the rain?"
Zhan Qipei said nothing and continued to stare at Qiao Jing for a moment.
Two seconds later, Qiao Jing turned around and left.
"This -" Lu Zijiao is now the emperor, not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry!
Leaving now?
Too heartless?
It's no wonder that his brother has never dared to confess to Qiao Jing. It's not that his brother is weak and embarrassed to confess, but that even if he confesses, he will only be met with disappointment.
If he guessed correctly, his brother was worried that after confessing his love, they wouldn't even be friends anymore.
This is very obvious from Zhan Qi Pei. Look at Master Zhan, he pursued him like this, but ended up like this.
What does it mean? It can only be said that Qiao Jing is really not something that ordinary people can pursue.
Zhan Qipei looked at the back of the girl who was getting away, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Lu Zijiao walked up to Zhan Qi Pei, reached out and patted Zhan Qi Pei on the shoulder. Just when Lu Zijiao was thinking about how to comfort Zhan Qi Pei, Qiao Jing, who had walked a little way, suddenly stopped.
Zhan Qi Pei's distracted gaze refocused on Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing opened her mouth slightly and spit out one word.
"you."
Qiao Jing gave the answer!
It's him!
He was the one fighting Qi Pei!!!
Zhan Qipei's gloomy eyes suddenly flashed with a blinding light, and he took three steps with long legs and came to Qiao Jing.
"Are you serious?"
Qiao Jing turned around and looked at Zhan Qi Pei, "You have saved me before, so it makes sense for me to save you first."
Qiao Jing's explanation was not that she was cold and heartless, but that she had no such thoughts about Zhan Qi Pei. Since she had no thoughts, there was no need to be ambiguous.
So she is explaining.
Zhan Qi Pei didn't care about Qiao Jing's explanation. No matter what the reason was, Qiao Jing gave him the answer he wanted most.
Just this is enough.
"Sure enough, my status in your heart is different." Zhan Qipei grabbed Qiao Jing's shoulders and laughed.
Qiao Jing lowered his head and looked at the hand holding his shoulder, frowning, but he was not in a hurry to break away from the man's hand.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back."
"Okay." Zhan Qipei's hand that was holding Qiao Jing's shoulder slid down and grabbed the girl's hand instead.
Lu Zijiao looked at the two people who got into the car, curled his lips, shook his head, and said to himself: "I worried about them in vain, and in the end they just stuffed my mouth with dog food."
"Hey - brother, brother, look at Mr. Zhan, look at you again, I don't think Qiao Jing can be my sister-in-law in this life."
Wu Xirui came to the door of the hotel, with a half-smile in his eyes, and kept staring at the car as it left.
"This is just the first step, what follows..."
"Haha——" Wu Xirui raised the corner of his mouth with a gloomy smile.
After returning to Nantai Apartment, Zhan Qi Pei asked Qiao Jing to take a shower first.
Qiao Jing was also soaked in the rain. After taking a quick hot shower, she came out of the bathroom and said, "Go and wash up."
Zhan Qi Pei needs to be exposed to the rain for a long time. Winter has not yet passed, so it is very likely that he will catch a cold if he is exposed to the rain in this weather.
"No rush." Zhan Qipei put on a clean bathrobe, and his hair was wiped with a towel and was still a little wet.
Qiao Jing sat down opposite Zhan Qi Pei in confusion, "You want to talk to me about something?"
Zhan Qipei was silent for two seconds before speaking: "How did you and Wu Xirui meet?"
Qiao Jing heard something unusual in the man's words, "Is there something between you and Wu Xirui?"
After Qiao Jing asked this question, Zhan Qi Pei stood up and walked towards the balcony.
Seeing this posture, Qiao Jing was even more sure of his suspicion. The relationship between Wu Xirui and Zhan Qi Pei was definitely not simple.
"That's what I'm asking. If it's not convenient for you, just say it."
As soon as Qiao Jing finished speaking, Zhan Qi Pei's voice sounded.
"Actually, if it weren't for me, the person who would inherit the Zhan family's property would be my sister-in-law."
"Huh?" Qiao Jing asked in confusion. Zhan Qi Pei also has a sister-in-law? How come she has never seen her before? She has never heard anyone mention it.
Zhan Qipei continued what he just said: "My sister-in-law has been extremely talented since she was a child. She has been number one in the school whether in elementary school, middle school or university. Not only that, she has an extraordinary talent in business. And she wants to lead Zhan Qipei.
The family will develop the Zhan family to a whole new level."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing vaguely heard something.
"What happened next?"
Qiao Jing guessed that the reason why she didn't know about the existence of Aunt Zhan Qipei was because Zhan Qipei succeeded as the head of the Zhan family.
"My grandfather also liked my sister-in-law very much, but in the end, my grandfather passed the Zhan Group to me. My sister-in-law was so angry that she dragged her family and left the imperial capital. Before leaving, she put down her cruel words and said that one day, my grandfather would regret it.
, I regret not leaving the Zhan family in her hands."
After hearing what Zhan Qi Pei said, Qiao Jing thought to herself that her guess was indeed correct.
"Then your grandfather, why didn't you pass on the position of head of the Zhan family to your sister-in-law? Do you favor sons over daughters?"
"That's not true. Grandpa said that my sister-in-law is too eager for quick success and quick success. If the company is handed over to her, it will definitely develop well, but there will also be disadvantages.
How should I put it? My sister-in-law's business philosophy is somewhat contrary to my grandfather's original intention of establishing the company. My sister-in-law is too profit-oriented. To use an analogy.
Take the Angel Welfare Home as an example. If my sister-in-law is in power and she doesn’t care about any favors and only seeks profit, the Angel Welfare Home will be demolished."
Qiao Jing understood clearly that Zhan Qi Pei's sister-in-law was a person who would do anything to achieve her goals. Such a person was too cold-blooded and ruthless.
But Zhan Yuanshan is not that kind of person at all.
"What is the relationship between Wu Xirui and your sister-in-law?" Qiao Jing asked after thinking for two seconds.
"Did you guess it?" Zhan Qipei was not surprised at all. He was as smart as Qiao Jing, and he had already said it for his own sake. If she couldn't guess it, she wouldn't be Qiao Jing.
"He is my sister-in-law's son."
Qiao Jing frowned slightly, combined with what she said to Qi Pei just now, her sister-in-law said harsh words before leaving.
"So Wu Xirui came back here to take revenge on your Zhan family?"
Speaking of which, Wu Xirui seemed to have mentioned it two days ago. He said that on the day of the banquet, his mortal enemy would appear.
Now it seems that the enemy he talks about is Zhan Qi Pei.
Since he is the son of Zhan Qi Pei's sister-in-law and comes to the emperor for revenge, he must know her relationship with Zhan Qi Pei.
