Chapter 213: 213, Unbelievable (1) _1
Jian Qing raised her water cup and took a sip, warmth flickered in her eyes, “He, he’s wonderful!”
Her voice was very soft, like a warming sun melting a field of snow, brimming with a hint of tenderness.
Jian Luo was surprised. The woman before him was markedly different from before, this kind of smile had never been seen on her face, it radiated pure happiness.
What kind of magic potion had Quan Jingwu given his sister to make her praise him so highly?
“Sis, you…”
He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn’t know what to say.
Jian Qing chuckled softly, and looked at him, “Luoluo, do you find me different from before?”
Feeling uncomfortable, Jian Luo nodded, “Yes.”
“So, tell me, what’s different?” she asked.
Jian Luo looked at her with a probing gaze, his expression serious, “When you talk about him, you become softer, and your smile is genuine.”
The previous Jian Qing, even in front of him and Black Jack, always seemed to exude a sense of loneliness. But today, she seemed full of life with a warm smile on her face…
Jian Qing tugged at the corners of her lips, “Luoluo, before you came, you must have checked his information, right?”
With guys like Black Jack and Bai Jue around, they probably started checking up on Jingwu as soon as they found out she was with him, although how much they were able to find out remained a mystery.
At the mention of this, Jian Luo’s eyes flickered with annoyance, “I only found some basic information, nothing else.”
Black Jack and Bai Jue used all their resources but could only find Quan Jingwu’s basic information, everything else was a blank.
As if she had anticipated this, Jian Qing was not surprised, “Then, based on what you found and what you heard, tell me what kind of person you think he is.”
With that, Jian Luo fell silent.
After a while, he spoke again, “Black Jack and Bai Jue both said he is a ruthless character, very strong, and he seems cold and unapproachable.”
For the past few days, he had been following Quan Jingwu’s news. It was undeniable that Black Jack and the others were correct. Quan Jingwu was indeed formidable, his authority was immense and he was incredibly wealthy. However, he didn’t care about these; what he cared about was whether Quan Jingwu could protect his sister for a lifetime, and bring her joy.
As Jian Qing’s biological brother, how could she not know what he was thinking? There was a subtle hint of tenderness in her eyes.
“Luoluo, Jingwu is cold, dominating, and arrogant. Yet, it’s this same man who would learn to cook for my sake, always carry candies with him in case I suffer from hypoglycemia, and protect me quietly with his actions. He indulges everything I do, no matter what, he’ll always stand by my side. He said that I could do anything I want and if it’s wrong, it’s on him.”
Perhaps Jian Qing didn’t realize how bewitching her smile was as she spoke these words, it was hard turn one’s gaze away.
Jian Luo looked visibly shocked, struggling to reconcile the Jingwu she described with the distant and aloof Quan Jingwu he knew of.
He hesitated before asking, “Are we talking about the same person?”
“Anyway, he needs to be examined. Grandpa said not to let just anyone whisk you away,” Jian Luo said earnestly after some thought.
Jian Qing was chagrined, “What did you tell Grandpa?”
“Nothing much, just that someone is trying to steal you away. Grandpa was so upset that he had an extra drink that night.” He winked at her and grinned cheekily.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry!
It was just an excuse because Grandpa was craving for some wine.
“By the way, Sis, what was the An Family’s reaction when you came back?” Jian Luo asked.
Jian Qing raised her eyebrows, “Well, once they see you, you’ll find out their reaction.”
“Well, I can’t wait!” Jian Luo’s eyes were cold, as he said in a languid tone.
Jian Qing said, “Let’s eat, the food is getting cold.”
…
Cafe
Chu Ruohan pushed open the door and walked in, heading straight for a private room.
“Miss Chu!”
In the private room, two men stood up hurriedly when they saw her.
Chu Ruohan just sat down, her eyes landed on the two men, and she said coldly, “Where is it?”
“Here.” The tall man nervously handed over the photos, his smile obsequious.
Chu Ruohan’s face was icy as she took the pictures.
“Miss Chu, these pictures weren’t easy to take. It’s just that when Jian Qing entered Shijin Haoting, we couldn’t follow her in, so we only have these pictures.” The tall man said, expecting some recognition.
“Miss Chu, that man entered Shijin Haoting with Jian Qing and they didn’t come out for over an hour.” The short man chimed in, his rat-like eyes darting guiltily.
Chu Ruohan looked at the pictures, a smirk on her face as she saw the intimate interactions between Jian Qing and the unknown man in the pictures.
Jian Qing, now let’s see how you explain yourself. I’ll let Jingwu see what a flighty woman you really are.
“Are you sure that man entered Shijin Haoting with Jian Qing and hasn’t come out yet?” Chu Ruohan asked, still gripping the pictures, looking at the taller man.
“We’re one hundred percent certain. That man got into Jian Qing’s car with his suitcase. They haven’t left Shijin Haoting since they went in. We think he must be staying at Jian Qing’s place.” The tall man assured.
The idea of Jian Qing, Jingwu’s girlfriend, having the audacity to bring a man back to her residence was truly mind-boggling.
Chu Ruohan’s eyes flashed, “Post the pictures online, and as for the rest of the report, I think you know how to write it.”
“Of course, of course.” The short man nodded quickly, then hesitated, “Miss Chu, after all, Jian Qing is Jingwu’s woman. If Jingwu finds out we leaked these pictures, what about us…?”
They wanted to make money, but they didn’t want to risk their lives over it if the affair involved Quan Jingwu – the most terrifying man in Beijing.
“You are all employees of the Chu Group. Reporting news is your job. If you want to pack up and leave, just let me know.” Chu Ruohan shoved the pictures into her bag, then took out a check and handed it to them.
“This is a check for a million. If the job is done, I will give you another million. If you don’t want to do it, I’m sure there are others who will.”
“Miss Chu, we didn’t mean that, please let us explain.” The tall man chuckled awkwardly, hastily taking the check.
“Stop talking nonsense, if you want to keep your jobs, I want to see results within an hour.”
After finishing her words, Chu Ruohan pushed the door open, her high heels clicking resolutely against the floor as she left.
