Upon hearing this, Zhen Guoan smiled and winked, saying, “That’s good, that’s good!”
Yan Wei could only smile and then gritted his teeth at Zhou Qiaoqiao, saying, “Quick, eat your ice cream!”
Zhou Qiaoqiao could only eat her ice cream, and Zhen Guoan smiled at him with a meaningful smile.
Yan Wei didn’t understand. Even if he bought a condom, what’s so funny about it? Is buying a condom funny?
The four of them had a simple meal, and Feng Xiyuan left first. She seemed a bit absent-minded when she left, but Yan Wei believed that given some time, she would be able to restore a simple friendship with him.
Yan Wei saw Zhen Guoan off and then got in the car with Zhou Qiaoqiao.
“Why was Guoan laughing just now?” Yan Wei felt that it was definitely not just about the condom.
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked away and said, “I don’t know!”
Yan Wei frowned. He felt that Zhou Qiaoqiao was lying to him, that she definitely knew. Or perhaps, she intentionally sent him away. During this time, she might have said something he didn’t know!
Yan Wei reached out and pulled Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hair. Zhou Qiaoqiao quickly held her wig with both hands and asked, “What are you doing?”
Yan Wei smiled slightly and said, “What am I doing? I’m helping you take off the wig.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao pressed down even harder and said, “Don’t take it off… I’ll tell you why he was laughing.”
Only then did Yan Wei let go. Zhou Qiaoqiao glanced at Mao Liang ahead and then whispered to Yan Wei, “Come closer, I’ll tell you quietly.”
Yan Wei leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and folded his arms, looking dignified, and said, “Go ahead!”
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at him, blinked, looked at him again, and then said, “I told them that you’re a virgin.”
“Cough!” Mao Liang coughed, and the car swayed slightly in an S-shape before quickly stabilizing.
Yan Wei: “…”
There was silence in the car for a while, and then Yan Wei turned to Zhou Qiaoqiao and asked, “What do you usually watch?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao took out her phone and said, “I watch stuff!”
Yan Wei: “…Which website?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao frowned, covering her phone, and asked him, “Why are you asking about this?”
Yan Wei’s face showed a gentle smile as he said, “I want to see if I can convince Yan Ye to take it down.” What kind of website is this? What is it teaching?
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…”
Of course, Yan Wei was just joking. Seeing that Zhou Qiaoqiao was really scared, his mood improved a bit as he said, “I have something to do this afternoon, so I’ll take you back today. I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Also, don’t watch random things online, and don’t say anything random. We’re considered a couple now, so we…”
“That, Mr. Yan…” Zhou Qiaoqiao interrupted Yan Wei.
Yan Wei looked at her in confusion. It was hard for him to maintain his cold and charismatic persona in front of Zhou Qiaoqiao, especially when she interrupted him like this. But he was still curious about what Zhou Qiaoqiao was going to say.
So, he heard Zhou Qiaoqiao say, “Are you really a virgin?”
“Cough!” Mao Liang coughed again, and the Maybach continued its S-shaped movement.
Yan Wei: “…”
Zhou Qiaoqiao leaned closer to Yan Wei and whispered, “Then you…”
“Zhou Qiaoqiao…” This time it was Yan Wei’s turn to interrupt her.
Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes at him, and Yan Wei smiled and said, “You’re still young, don’t ask that question.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao responded with an “Oh,” and Yan Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Wei: “…”
“It’s actually a good thing, really,” Zhou Qiaoqiao comforted him.
Yan Wei: “…” Of course, it’s good to keep yurself clean! He’s even averse to food, let alone be in the mood…
“I don’t blame you, you know,” Zhou Qiaoqiao declared, “I’m also a virgin!”
Yan Wei: “…”
Mao Liang felt like he couldn’t bear to listen anymore, but he found it somewhat satisfying.
Just as he was thinking that, he saw Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly go silent, then turn her head to look at him. Mao Liang was immediately creeped out, and he heard Zhou Qiaoqiao say, “My friend and I are both pure and innocent girls. By the way, I’ll introduce you to my friend in the future. Do you know my friend? For example, my friend Minbao [1], she’s really good-looking, and both her parents have jobs and receive retirement pensions. Minbao works at a bank from nine to five, and she has a super good personality. She hasn’t had a boyfriend yet…”
Mao Liang: “…”
Yan Wei: “…Shut up.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao fell silent, and Yan Wei pressed his temple and said, “Rest well when you get back, and I’ll take you out for dinner tonight.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded, and Yan Wei smiled and said, “Why aren’t you talking anymore?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao glanced at him and said, “Didn’t you tell me not to talk?”
Yan Wei laughed, patted her head, and said, “It would be great if you could always be this obedient.”
The car soon stopped at the entrance of the residential area, and Zhou Qiaoqiao got out of the car to go home. Since it wasn’t convenient to reverse into the parking space, Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t let Mao Liang drive in. After taking a glance at Zhou Qiaoqiao’s figure with a small backpack on her back, Yan Wei smiled and shook his head, instructing Mao Liang to drive away.
As soon as she reached the bottom of the building, Zhou Qiaoqiao saw her father, Zhou Yingjie and Zhou Xiongxiong , smoking while squatting near the flower pot.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Qiaoqiao turned around to leave, but her father, Zhou Yingjie, spotted her.
“Zhou Qiaoqiao!! If you dare to run, just try it!” Zhou Yingjie was almost 50, but his voice was still full of vigor, and he was agile on his feet.
Women are naturally weaker physically compared to men, not to mention Zhou Qiaoqiao had a relatively disadvantaged upbringing. She didn’t have good food when she was young and grew up falling and stumbling along the way. But Zhou Yingjie still put in a lot of effort to pursue her, mainly because he himself was overweight. Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t run away when caught. She held onto the straps of her backpack and turned to face her father.
“Why did you come looking for me?” Zhou Qiaoqiao lowered her head.
Zhou Yingjie patted her shoulder and said, “I’m your dad! What’s wrong with me coming to find you? Can’t I see you?”
Zhou Yingjie had a beer belly and was panting. Zhou Xiongxiong resembled Zhou Yingjie as he grew older. Zhou Yingjie used to be quite handsome when he was young, but with years of indulgence in eating and drinking, he had become a greasy middle-aged man. What was strange about Zhou Xiongxiong was that he resembled the present Zhou Yingjie, not the past one.
Zhou Xiongxiong was a complete little fatty, with his belly fat jiggling up and down when he ran. It looked exhausting just watching him.
The father and son were like two peas in a pod, both panting while holding their bellies.
Zhou Qiaoqiao found it amusing and took out her phone to take a picture.
Zhou Yingjie was taken aback and asked, “What are you taking a picture of?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao replied, “A roly-poly toy.”
Zhou Yingjie was puzzled again, and Zhou Xiongxiong said, “Dad, she’s calling us fat!”
Zhou Qiaoqiao sent the photo to Liang Jiamin and left a message: “My dad and the little bear are getting fatter again.”
Liang Jiamin was at work and didn’t reply. Zhou Yingjie also realized and angrily said, “You unfilial daughter, quickly, go upstairs and give me the card.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao frowned and said, “You clearly have money to repay it for him.”
“Is that a small amount? Ah? 300,000 yuan! 300,000!” Zhou Yingjie exclaimed angrily. He was just a small business owner.
Zhou Qiaoqiao retorted, “It’s not my debt, so why are you bothering me? Ask Zhou Xiongxiong and see what trouble he’s gotten into now.”
As she said this, Zhou Qiaoqiao casually plucked a tree branch from the fence and started hitting Zhou Xiongxiong with it. “He tricked me into going to a nightclub, and when I got hurt, but he didn’t even come to help me.” You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
Zhou Yingjie was aware of this incident, but what does this have to do with my son Xiongxiong? Don’t you know how unlucky you were when you were young?
Zhou Xiongxiong quickly dodged and with a pitiful voice said, “You dare to hit me? Ow, ow…”
“I’ll hit you! You lied to me, saying that you helped me steal the card and invited me to meet somewhere. But when I arrived, there were only a few men in black waiting, and they took me away to accompany them for drinks.” Although Zhou Qiaoqiao wasn’t the brightest, she wasn’t completely foolish either. She easily sensed situations like today with Feng Xiyuan.
She lost her money and got into a car accident. Now she owed her eldest uncle 18,000 yuan. Zhou Qiaoqiao was extremely anxious. Even though she knew that Zhou Xiongxiong’s claim of stealing the card for her was a lie, she still wanted to check it out. However, she never expected Zhou Xiongxiong to be so audacious, allowing people to capture her and make her pay the money.
Zhou Xiongxiong was in the wrong from the beginning, so he wasn’t feeling good about himself.
However, initially, he had said that repaying 200,000 yuan would be enough, but suddenly he said it had to be a full 300,000 yuan. When Zhou Xiongxiong shared this with his parents, they couldn’t accept it, which led to them getting involved again.
Although he knew he was in the wrong, he was already 21 years old. How could he tolerate being publicly slapped?
He yelled out and snatched the branch from Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hand, raising his hand to strike her.
“If you dare touch her, just try!”
Zhou Qiaoqiao thought that Yan Wei was probably her guardian angel for life, always appearing during her most difficult moments, bringing her hope and turning that hope into reality.
She was constantly subjected to being beaten, falling down, going hungry, experiencing poverty, online violence, being scapegoated, involved in car accidents, and being hospitalized.
Her life was filled with various misfortunes, and these misfortunes seemed to persist and repeat in a never-ending cycle. Her life was like missing the kind of guardian angel that others had, so she always seemed to have worse luck than others.
Until… Yan Wei appeared!
Just like now, he always showed up during her most difficult times, bringing her hope and turning that hope into reality.
She was just an ordinary vulnerable woman, and of course, she understood how strong a 21-year-old man’s ego could be.
However, she was genuinely angry. Even though they were half-siblings and had never liked each other, she, Zhou Qiaoqiao, had never thought of harming them. How could he deceive her and take her to a nightclub?
That place was so dark, so sinister!
She was scared to the point that tears kept streaming down her face, but it was useless to talk to anyone. Praying to the heavens or the earth yielded no response, leaving her trapped like a cornered beast until she struggled to the point of death.
Fight fire with fire.
Only by being unafraid of death could she let those people in the nightclub know that keeping her locked up would only lead to a homicide.
But the fear from those past experiences wouldn’t disappear just because she was currently in a comfortable situation…
Zhou Xiongxiong owed her a beating!
If she hit him, she was prepared to be hit back, but she still wanted to give him a beating to avenge the humiliation she felt at that time.
However…
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Yan Wei. He seemed to be suppressing his wrath. Step by step, he approached, his gaze fixed on the branch in Zhou Xiongxiong’s hand as a warning. “If you dare lay a finger on her…”
Every step Yan Wei took was regal, stepping on the tip of Zhou Qiaoqiao’s heart, as if the ground beneath his feet was paved with rainbows.
He stood in front of Zhou Xiongxiong and spoke word by word, “If I ever see you lay a hand on her again…” His gaze shifted to Zhou Xiongxiong’s legs, and Yan Wei’s voice turned icy, each word carrying a sting.
He said, “I will break your… legs.”
Zhou Xiongxiong trembled and fell to the ground.
Sansukini: First of all, poor Mao Liang will get into an accident because of Qiaoqiao’s silliness. Second, I really hate Qiaoqiao’s dad here, more than I hate her brother. You were willing to pay for your son’s gambling debts, but when your daughter got tricked into being sold to the nightclub by your son, you don’t think it concerns you.
