Chapter 215: 215, Younger Brother-in-law Meet at night (3)_1
“No wonder!” Han Yue realized with a start, patting his thigh heavily. With Jian Qing’s caution, there’s no way she wouldn’t know she was being tracked.
However, in his excitement, he slapped the wrong thigh.
“Hiss–”
Next to him, Quan Mingxuan’s handsome face looked grim, filled with a frightening smile.
“Han Yue, who the hell’s leg do you think you’re slapping?”
Han Yue, hearing his words, looked at him with an innocent face, coughed a few times, “That, um… My hand slipped, purely accidental!”
Hand slipped, so he slapped his leg, why didn’t his hand slip and slap his own face?
Quan Mingxuan was livid, gritted his teeth, “Should I chop off that claw so it won’t slip again in the future?”
Han Yue quickly hid his hands behind his back, with a flattering smile, “No, Axuan, I swear, I was just excited, didn’t expect to slap your leg.”
Taking a deep breath, Quan Mingxuan suppressed his murderous intent, “I’ll deal with you later.”
Barely escaping disaster, Han Yue quickly changed the subject, “Let’s get back to the point, Jingwu, Jian Qing deliberately allowed those people to follow and sneak photos, what does she want to do?”
Now, the internet is full of nasty rumors about her, such as her keeping a boy toy, cheating, etc. These things aren’t doing her any good.
Quan Jingwu was silent, his eyes thoughtful, contemplating something.
“Jingwu, do you recognize the man in the photo?” Quan Mingxuan asked.
Before Quan Jingwu could respond, Han Yue interjected, “Even if he did recognize him, they couldn’t be this intimate. If this were my girlfriend, I would have chopped off that man’s claws long ago.”
Quan Mingxuan, “…..”
Someone, please take this annoying guy out.
Ignoring the two, Quan Jingwu simply picked up his phone and dialed Jian Qing’s number.
It rang a few times before being answered.
When the call connected, he didn’t hear the soft voice of a woman, but a strange voice, a man’s voice.
“Who is this?”
In the living room, Jian Luo was sprawled on the sofa, holding Jian Qing’s phone. He wasn’t planning on answering it at first, but when he saw the caller ID on the phone, he quickly changed his mind.
Quan Jingwu’s violet eyes narrowed instantly, his face cold as ice, “Is this not your phone?”
The room temperature dropped dramatically, the air seemed to freeze.
Han Yue and others looked at Quan Jingwu, straining their ears to confirm that the voice on the phone was not Jian Qing’s.
“Oh, are you looking for Jian Qing?” Jian Luo, listening to the man’s frosty tone over the phone, quickly formulated a response.
“She’s sleeping, should I wake her up for the call?”
Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue reflexively covered their ears, swearing they didn’t hear anything.
Watching Quan Jingwu’s expression out of the corner of their eyes, they both gasped quietly.
That person on the other side of the phone is so bold, Jian Qing’s phone is in the hands of someone else, a man?
Quan Jingwu’s eyebrow twitched, his lips pursed lightly. “No need.”
Jian Luo paused, why did it seem like he wasn’t angry at all?
This was certainly out of the ordinary.
He was sure Quan Jingwu wouldn’t remain calm forever. With a smirk, Jian Luo continued, “Little Qingqing should be waking up soon, if you have any message for her, I can deliver it.”
Quan Jingwu leaned back further, a harsh curve playing on his thin lips, “Then I’ll trouble you to tell her I’ll be home early tonight.”
“That’s it?” Jian Luo frowned.
Quan Jingwu chuckled in a low voice, “Hmm.”
Finally, in a slow and cold voice he added, “Little brother-in-law, see you tonight!”
With that, Quan Jingwu simply hung up the phone.
On the other side, Jian Luo was holding his phone, staring in a daze.
What did he just hear?
Little brother-in-law?
Could his ears have malfunctioned?
A minute later, a roar echoed in the living room.
“Quan Jingwu, who the hell is your little brother-in-law!”
It pissed him off, is this how people form connections these days?
No shame, utterly shameless!
“Luo Luo, and who is your Little Qingqing?” From the stairwell, a cold voice suddenly echoed in.
Jian Luo’s figure, standing on the sofa, tensed up, his hot-headedness immediately doused with a bucket of cold water.
Something bad, he thought to himself, but he realized his words might just have been heard by his own sister.
The sound of slippers echoed, and Jian Qing walked over.
Jian Luo sat down slowly, his body stiffly turned around, he waved, “Sis, when did you wake up?”
Jian Qing took her phone back, sat down across from him, “Not long ago, right before you answered the phone.”
“…”
Jian Luo felt like crying.
“Luo Luo, you still didn’t answer my question, who is your Little Qingqing?” Jian Qing stared at him, asking calmly.
This damn kid, he’s being corrupted by Bai Jue and Black Jack.
“Sis, I was wrong.” Jian Luo’s speed at admitting his mistake was absolutely off the charts.
“Thoughtless as you are, here’s your punishment: Write a reflection.” Even though she knew it was Xiaojing’s call, he intentionally said those loose words. This was setting a trap for her.
“Sis, can I not write a reflection?” Jian Luo gave a dejected look, pleading pitifully.
Without Black Jack here, who would write the reflection for him?
“Besides, Quan Jingwu was so annoying, taking advantage of me on the phone, even calling me… little brother-in-law.” As he mentioned this, Jian Luo seemed to be grinding his teeth.
He’d never met such an annoying person, Black Jack was right, Quan Jingwu really was a cunning jerk.
He wondered, how did he know he was Jian Qing’s younger brother?
Jian Qing smiled at her younger brother’s frustrated expression, barely holding back her laughter, “Luo Luo, Xiaojing is not easy to deceive.”
Jian Luo slumped onto the sofa, wearing an expression of resigned defeat.
It seemed he needed to ask Bai Jue and Black Jack for some tips.
…
Watching Quan Jingwu hang up the phone, Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan were still dazed by the term “little brother-in-law”.
Little brother-in-law?
Isn’t that… Jian Qing’s younger brother?
Is this understanding correct?
Both Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue suddenly recalled Jian Qing mentioning her younger brother coming to Beijing a few days ago and it all made sense.
However, one thing still puzzled them.
Han Yue asked, “Jingwu, how did you know the man in the photo was Jian Qing’s younger brother?”
No wonder the guy had been so cool from the start. Turns out he already knew the man in the picture was his future brother-in-law.
“Look at the photo.” Quan Jingwu glanced at their eager faces and responded lightly.
Although Jian Luo was wearing sunglasses in the photo, his resemblance to Jian Qing when standing next to her was noticeable. Plus, his sweetheart had been mentioning that her future brother-in-law would be coming to Beijing soon. Thinking about it, it wasn’t hard to guess the identity of the man in the picture.
“Photo?” Han Yue was shocked, reopening Facebook and scrutinizing the photo.
Quan Mingxuan leaned in to take a look as well. After careful comparison, they could see the man in the photo did resemble Jian Qing.
It made sense when they thought about it. Apart from Jingwu, only her biological brother could be this close to Jian Qing.
