Chapter 55: Chapter 53: Zhan Qipei Wants to Go to KTV with Qiao Jing
Zhan Nanqing “…”
“Damn it! Damn it! Qiao Jing, that vixen, has my brother going round and round; now she's even using him like a servant, and doing it so naturally. It's just too maddening!”
Zhan Nanqing stamped her feet while muttering nonstop.
After leaving the residential complex, Zhan Nanqing stopped and after pondering for two seconds, looked in the direction of the Red Cross Society.
She hesitated for a while, then hailed a taxi and went back to the Red Cross Society.
Upon arrival, she immediately inquired about Qiao Jing with the front desk staff.
“You said what? Qiao Jing donated ten million to children in the Western Mountainous Region?!”
Zhan Nanqing was astounded!
Where did Qiao Jing get so much money from?
Was it all given to her by her grandfather?
But—
Why would she donate it?
“Yes, miss, Miss Qiao comes here often. At the end of last year, after the earthquake in Yuxiang County, Miss Qiao alone donated twenty million. She also donated a large number of winter coats and clothing, as well as mineral water and other supplies, amounting to more than ten million in total,” the staff member said with a look of unabashed admiration and respect.
Having worked at the Red Cross Society for many years, she had seen all kinds of donations from high society and entertainment figures, but she had never seen a truly good person like Qiao Jing, who donated year after year without ever seeking recognition for her good deeds.
Zhan Nanqing's jaw was practically dropping.
She wasn't just surprised about where Qiao Jing got the money from, but also by what the staff member said—that she came here often!
Moreover, from the staff member's demeanor, she could tell that they held Qiao Jing in high esteem.
“Is Qiao Jing… truly that kindhearted?”
Just as Zhan Nanqing was feeling dejected and conflicted, she received a phone call from Lou Xinrou.
“Nanqing, how did it go? Did you find anything after tracking her all day?”
Lou Xinrou was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and eating sunflower seeds.
“Xinrou, it's so strange…”
“What's wrong? What happened?”
Zhan Nanqing recounted in detail everything that had happened that day to Lou Xinrou.
That included the donation and also the act of bravery by Qiao Jing during the day, when she saved someone.
“Xinrou, I feel that Qiao Jing might not be that bad of a person.”
Upon hearing Zhan Nanqing say this, a strong sense of crisis welled up in Lou Xinrou's heart.
“Nanqing, don't you find today's events too coincidental?”
“What do you mean?” Zhan Nanqing asked, puzzled.
Putting aside her sunflower seeds and turning serious, Lou Xinrou said, “Think about it, how could it be such a coincidence? It's neither too early nor too late for her to donate, but it happens just when you're secretly following her, and you happen to find out?”
When Zhan Nanqing heard this, it did indeed seem too coincidental.
“Could she have noticed me?”
Zhan Nanqing grasped Lou Xinrou's implication and speculated.
“Isn't that obvious?” Lou Xinrou retorted.
“But the Red Cross Society's people said that Qiao Jing often comes here to donate?” Zhan Nanqing voiced her doubt.
“Nanqing, are you out of your mind?” Qiao Jing, a country girl who farms the land, how could she possibly have so much money? If I'm not mistaken, this money must be Grandpa Zhan's. Grandpa Zhan is old, and before he thinks of ascending to heaven, he wants to do more good deeds, to accumulate virtue for himself. And he doesn't want his family to know, so he had Qiao Jing run errands for him, using her to make the donations. Moreover, didn't the staff say that Qiao Jing does good deeds anonymously, never leaving her name behind?”
“In today's society, if someone does a good deed, they can't wait to publicize it to the whole world.
How could Qiao Jing be an exception? The very fact that she doesn't leave her name proves that the money isn't hers. So she wouldn't dare to take credit for it, would she?”
The more Zhan Nanqing listened, the more it made sense. “I also thought it was strange at the time, how Qiao Jing could be so selfless, doing good deeds is one thing, but not even leaving her name?”
“Right?” Lou Xinrou saw that Zhan Nanqing was following her rhythm and continued vigorously, “Also, you said she stood up to injustice, rescuing a girl from the hands of several shady characters, and even executed an over-the-shoulder throw on one of them. Think about it, that's just not possible.”
“I saw it with my own eyes, I'm not bluffing you.”
“I'm not saying you're bluffing, but I think it's impossible. It's like I said earlier, Qiao Jing must have realized you were following her, so she deliberately staged that act for you to see. To change your perception of her.”
Lou Xinrou's previous words were not to mislead Zhan Nanqing, but indeed she thought that way. She simply didn't believe Qiao Jing had that much money, didn't believe she would do good deeds anonymously, and certainly didn't believe she had such a high combat power.
If it were true, then Qiao Jing would be too outstanding, shining too brightly.
In reality, Qiao Jing was just a country bumpkin, worlds apart from her.
So there's no way Qiao Jing could be that amazing!
Zhan Nanqing slapped her forehead, “You're right, why didn't I think of that before? This Qiao Jing, her schemes and depths are truly profound, I absolutely do not approve of such a woman! She's not worthy of my brother!”
“Xinrou, fortunately, you reminded me, or else I would have been duped by Qiao Jing. Oh, and you don't know, I just went to see my brother, and I found out he actually helps Qiao Jing cook. Qiao Jing didn't hesitate to treat my brother like a servant. Xinrou, if this goes on, things are going to get worse, we need to think of something fast. Otherwise, with Qiao Jing's deep scheming and her many tricks, sooner or later, my brother will be devoured by that bad woman.”
Zhan Nanqing was anxious about this, but Lou Xinrou was even more so.
But for the moment, they really couldn't think of a good solution.
In the blink of an eye, Friday night arrived.
Just as Qiao Jing was about to leave, she suddenly heard a man's voice behind her.
“Dressed up like that, where are you going?” Zhan Qipei had long noticed the hustle and bustle on Qiao Jing's side.
Dressed up like that? Like what?
Qiao Jing looked down at herself, a simple T-shirt, light blue ripped jeans, and a pair of sneakers with letters on them.
As for her face, because her skin was even better than normal, like baby skin, porcelain white without any blemishes, she didn't even need to wear foundation, usually just applying some lotion for hydration.
She was dressed simply, without any makeup, so why did the man say, “dressed up like that, where are you going?”
“I have an arrangement with the fourth guy and others, going to the KTV.”
Zhan Qipei knew that the “fourth guy” Qiao Jing mentioned was Xu Moqian.
“And Zhan Ruiting?”
“Yeah, and several other friends.”
Qiao Jing answered not to explain, but just stated things as they were, without any need to hide.
“Lu Zijin is going too?” Zhan Qipei asked again.
Qiao Jing nodded, “We are all good friends, oh, and your good friend, Lu Zijiao, will be there too.”
Hearing this, Zhan Qipei let out a breath of stale air.
This Lu Zijiao, who claims to be his brother, is actually not as close to him as his real brother.
And he was kept in the dark about such matters!
Qiao Jing checked her phone, “It's getting late, I should head out.”
Just as Qiao Jing's hand touched the doorknob, she heard the man's deep and husky voice rising again.
“I'll come along.”
