Chapter 171: Chapter 128 Loving Everything About You_2
Jiang Qingkui bowed slightly to Gao Zhenbang again and said,
“You child… all right, come anytime you want, except I can’t promise anything about the fund. If there’s anything else you need help with from your teacher, just ask.”
Wang Hongying sighed at this and didn’t continue to persuade her.
In fact, most of her heart and mind were still occupied with the matter of Jiang Mo, so she truly couldn’t care about Jiang Qingkui’s affairs any longer.
After seeing Jiang Qingkui and Tang Mao off, and hearing from Wang Hongying about Jiang Qingkui’s thoughts, an inexplicable Gao Zhenbang couldn’t help but shake his head.
“No wonder… capital in the country is no longer as rampant as it was a few years ago, it’s tightening everywhere; she must have hit quite a few walls to pin her hopes on you!”
…
When Jiang Qingkui and Tang Mao walked out, there was only a little sunset left in the sky. In the half-dark night, Jiang Qingkui looked up and stared dazedly at that bit of light.
Tang Mao was also in a daze, but he was staring at Jiang Qingkui’s smooth jawline.
“Ahem, Qingkui, let’s go have dinner. I’ve already made a reservation at the restaurant…”
“I’m not going to eat, I’m not really hungry.”
Jiang Qingkui shook her head, pulled out her phone from her windbreaker’s pocket, opened WeChat, clicked “Add Friend,” and entered Zhou Wang’s phone number.
When the personal card popped up directly, Jiang Qingkui looked at the “Send Message” and “Audio/Video Call” options below and pursed her lips.
The expected result still appeared…
But, why?
Jiang Qingkui’s bright eyes held a touch of bewilderment.
If she had to say, it wasn’t that she didn’t remember anything.
The Zhou family brother who lived downstairs, shy, ordinary, his favorite things to do were fiddling with that tuft of bangs and leaning at the window to watch her, but he’d shrink back when she looked up.
That’s all she could recall.
Thinking about it, Jiang Qingkui sent a message over.
“So, where do you want to go, Qingkui? I’ll give you a ride.”
Beside her, Tang Mao was still speaking eagerly.
“No need, I want to walk by myself. Thank you for showing me the way today; I’ll find a chance to thank you once I’m settled.”
Jiang Qingkui’s attention was entirely on her phone, and after saying this lightly, she walked off alone with her hands in her pockets.
“Huh?” Tang Mao was momentarily puzzled, then quickly called after Jiang Qingkui, “Wait, Qingkui, what about the financing? We haven’t discussed it yet…”
Jiang Qingkui stopped, turned her head to glance at him, her eyes perhaps intentionally or unintentionally swept over the Tesla behind him. She then gave a faint smile and walked away without turning back.
“?
Tang Mao felt himself slighted but couldn’t figure out where the issue lay.
“That Zhou Wang…”
Sitting in his car, Tang Mao remembered the guy just now and felt some unwillingness, so he thought it over and made a call.
“Hey, brother, it’s me… are you busy?”
Once the call connected, Tang Mao quickly greeted him with a smile.
“What’s up?”
“Uh, here’s the deal, brother, I want to ask you about someone, they seem to be from Jing City, you know that area… yeah, named Zhou Wang, about twenty-something…”
“Wait, what did you say his name was?”
Tang Yiming’s originally casual voice suddenly turned serious.
“Uh… Zhou Wang.”
“Why are you asking about him?”
“I ran into him today, and he seemed quite pretentious. I just don’t know if he’s really capable, so…”
“…”
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Tang Mao also sensed something was off and cautiously asked, “Brother, you really know him or…”
“I’ll send you the address, come over immediately and explain what’s going on!”
Tang Yiming said coldly, and in Tang Mao’s stupefied expression, he hung up the call directly.
…
“Oh, so that Tang Mao is your cousin?”
On the other side, leading Jiang Mo into the “Cui Lake Supreme” community, Zhou Wang said in surprise over the phone.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either, that he’d run into you.”
The helpless voice of Tang Yiming came from the other end, “The kid doesn’t have a bad heart, but he can’t move when he sees women, and he likes to show off… he’s right next to me now. Why don’t you come over, and I’ll have him apologize to you in person?”
“Forget it, there’s no need. There wasn’t actually any conflict, beauty appreciation is normal, right.”
Zhou Wang laughed.
“All right then, I’m not free today, accompanying the old man to socialize outside. We’ll plan for another day.”
Tang Yiming finished speaking and laughed heartily again, “Anyway, consider this as a favor you owe me. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll cash in on that,” Zhou Wang replied. They chatted a bit more before Zhou Wang hung up.
It was then that he noticed the message Jiang Qingkui had sent:
“Want to grab some coffee?”
So she finally realized who I am?
Zhou Wang wasn’t too surprised, although Jiang Qingkui’s reaction time was quite fast.
“I’ve been pretty busy lately, let’s catch up another time, okay?”
With a mischievous smile on his lips, Zhou Wang directly copied and pasted Jiang Qingkui’s previous message and sent it back.
“Killing the Mockingbird:”…
Not waiting for Jiang Qingkui to reply to the chat interface saying “is typing”, Zhou Wang put away his phone and looked at Jiang Mo, who seemed to be a bit unfocused.
The two had just entered their home; Zhou Wang pulled her to sit on the sofa and gently pinched her cool face.
“Don’t overthink, the outcome might not be what you imagine.”
“Hmm?”
Jiang Mo looked over, puzzled.
“Let the bullet fly a bit.”
Zhou Wang said lightly.
It wasn’t posturing. After rational analysis, he felt there was a good chance Wang Hongying would change her mind, assuming his relationship with Yunshangyun Law Firm was as he speculated…
However, it seemed like fate wanted Zhou Wang to posture a bit longer; just as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo’s phone rang.
“It’s Professor Wang…”
Jiang Mo glanced at the incoming call screen with a mix of confusion and hope.
“Go ahead, answer it.”
Zhou Wang gestured.
Jiang Mo nodded, nervously picked up the call, and responded with “uh-huhs” and “ohs”.
As the conversation progressed, Jiang Mo’s expression gradually turned to one of surprise and joy.
When she hung up, Zhou Wang, already aware of the result, let her lean on his shoulder and held her gently.
She cried silently, just like the time Zhou Wang had accidentally seen her, her small tremors betraying her inner turmoil.
Wang Hongying’s intervention pulled the ray of hope for a reduced sentence to its fullest. It wasn’t just due to ability, but also her special influence in the legal industry…
Ding!
[Binding object Jiang Mo’s mental desires fulfilled, Desire Consumption Gold allocated]
Zhou Wang glanced at his phone, another 5.2 million had been credited…
Damn, today he had spent about 300,000 on gifts with Jiang Mo’s money, and in no time she had earned him another 7 million.
Including the 2 million Zhou Wang had transferred to Jiang Mo, her Consumption Money was already approaching the 30 million mark.
“Zhou Wang…”
As Zhou Wang was contemplating urging Jiang Mo to quickly buy a car, he heard her soft call.
Such a serious address made Zhou Wang realize Jiang Mo might be about to discuss something important.
“In a few days, can you… come with me to see my father?”
Zhou Wang was taken aback, but then vaguely understood and nodded, “Of course, no problem.”
“When the time comes…”
Jiang Mo looked up and stared into Zhou Wang’s eyes, a swirling vortex forming in her dark pupils as if ready to consume someone’s soul.
“I will love everything about you.”
