Chi Jiao couldn’t help laughing out loud when she heard Yan Zhengchen complaining non-stop.
Gong Lu helplessly took the cup of warm water with honey. He lifted his head and elegantly drank it. Then, he looked at Chi Jiao and smiled. “Jiaojiao, you must be calling to ask about our collaboration with Quan Jingzhou, right?”
“Yes, a month has passed. I heard that Quan Jingzhou has already signed the contract for the bridge. Construction started two weeks ago. I’ve calculated the time and feel that it’s a good time to withdraw the money now. I wonder if you guys are free?” Chi Jiao smiled brightly and looked at them expectantly.
Gong Lu smiled gently, his tone filled with love for Chi Jiao. “I might not be free to do other things, but I have time to help you. We’ve already discussed it yesterday. We’ll look for Quan Jingzhou tomorrow to withdraw our investment.”
“Alright, I’ll treat you all to a meal tomorrow night. Brothers, you must come.” Chi Jiao waved goodbye to Yan Zhengchen and hung up the video call.
“It’s really not easy to be her brother. We have to work so hard for the person who she likes.” Yan Zhengchen’s tone was rather emotional. He couldn’t help lamenting. “I really don’t know what’s so good about Quan Jue that our Jiaojiao likes him so much?”
“Sometimes, you don’t need that many reasons. It’s hard to explain when you like someone. No need to think so much about it.” Gong Lu lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
Yan Zhengchen looked at Gong Lu thoughtfully and suddenly said, “Qingqing told me previously that her family arranged another blind date for me.”
Gong Lu paused for a moment and kept his eyes lowered to avoid looking at him. He only nodded gently.
Yan Zhengchen looked at him unhappily and raised his eyebrows. “Why don’t you ask what happens next?”
“You will meet her and then either you’ll be interested in her or not. None of my business,” Gong Lu said expressionlessly.
Yan Zhengchen didn’t believe him. Without giving Gong Lu a chance to continue, he said, “You guessed wrong. I’ll get Qingqing to go back and tell my family that I’m not interested in those little girls. Besides, taking care of you is bad enough. I can’t stand another one. Come and bring the milk. I’ll send you to work after breakfast.”
Gong Lu’s lips curled into a faint smile. The haze in his eyes instantly disappeared. He picked up the milk on the table and ate breakfast with Yan Zhengchen.
That night, Zhan Tingting called Chi Jiao again to inform her that the old woman had fainted in the afternoon. According to Shen Xing, the old woman had already collapsed. She would probably die if they didn’t save her.
Of course, Chi Jiao couldn’t let that old woman die in the villa. That night, she rushed to the villa after work and saw that the door was wide open. That old woman cooperated and walked to the edge of the barrier and then collapsed under a big tree in the courtyard, looking half-dead.
The old woman had finally stopped hiding. Chi Jiao smiled as she walked forward and stood outside the barrier.
The old woman instantly became excited when she saw Chi Jiao. She raised her hand and slapped the barrier hard, her mouth opening and closing as if she was saying something.
