Chapter II: Private Meetings
It's okay if she doesn't mention Yu Youwei, as soon as she hears this, Zhan Xingchuan's face, which originally looked quite calm, has already revealed a cold look.
Rachel Joe didn't know if she really didn't see it, or if ......she still wanted to continue to anger him when she saw it, she continued to say: "In addition to life and death, what are the major events in this world?
Before she could finish speaking, Zhan Xingchuan had already interrupted sharply: "Shut up! You are not qualified to point fingers in front of me! You had better figure it out, if you want to talk about who is more sorry for her, from beginning to end, I can't catch up with a single hair of yours!"
His meaning has been clearly expressed, that is, he wants to remind her not to eat human blood steamed buns here, and after eating a mouth, she will throw the black pot on him.
Seeing that Zhan Xingchuan was resolute, not like he was joking, Qiao Rachel stopped in time so as not to really anger him. When the time comes, she will not be able to eat good fruits.
What's more, no matter which side it is, she doesn't want to give up for the time being.
Although Lu Qinghuan also promised her, as long as the matter is completed, he will definitely help Qiao Yanne remove the obstacles as soon as possible and completely become the master of the Qiao family. But after all, it was just a verbal agreement, and the other party didn't have a handle in her hands, everything only depends on each other's sincerity. In contrast, Zhan Xingchuan's side is different, as long as he wants to leave a way for Ran Xixi to live, he is bound to be afraid.
"Yes, I'm a bad woman. But so what? Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere. I will bless her to go to heaven, and as for me, stay in this filthy world, and continue to wander and suffer. How's that going?"
Qiao Rachel raised her eyebrows, her red lips pursed slightly, although she said the most bad words, but the delicate appearance made people have the illusion that what she said actually made some sense.
I have to say that this is a stunner in the world. She has taken her natural capital to the extreme, and knows what kind of smile can have a fatal attraction and lethality to men, and there is absolutely no violent nature.
Zhan Xingchuan clenched his fists slightly, his attention was focused on what she had just said. If it weren't for his nervousness, then what Qiao Rachel meant was likely to make Ran Xixi completely disappear from the sea.
Or, to disappear from this world.
She had said that she hated having people with the exact same face and bleeding exactly as her. She never felt that it was family affection, it was siblings, and for her, it was as terrible, angry, and hateful as clashing with another woman on an important occasion - this occasion is called life.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. I know you've come to me in a hurry to question me. As for me, I won't do anything that I dare not admit. In addition, I hope you can understand one thing, I am not actually doing this to hurt anyone, I need this identity, and I need to be recognized by Qiao's family. That damn old woman, she didn't admit me, and even secretly went to unite a bunch of old immortals to support Qiao Sijie! The two sons are her own, and the palms of her hands are meat, and the backs of her hands are not meat?"
The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she clutched a teacup in front of her so hard that she wanted to crush it completely, as if she was Mrs. Joe, who was in the way.
Regarding the affairs of the Qiao family, Zhan Xingchuan was not interested.
But he knew that if Qiao Sijie couldn't become the only person in charge of the Qiao family, then it would be even more impossible for him to be compared to himself. Zhan Xingchuan has never taken him seriously, let alone the Qiao family is in decline now.
But according to Ran Xixi's stubborn character, he really didn't dare to make any small moves behind his back, in case he just dragged Qiao Sijie from that position completely, she was excited, she felt that she had hurt him, so she simply let go, and really didn't give up on Qiao Sijie, wouldn't this be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot? Therefore, after some consideration, Zhan Xingchuan decided to maintain an impartial attitude towards this matter as much as possible.
That's why he deliberately delayed again and again not to help Qiao Yanne get to know the people of the Agnère family.
"Qiao Sijie has indeed paid a lot for the Qiao family, and from this point of view, it is normal that you can't compare to him. ”
Zhan Xingchuan really didn't understand how thick-skinned their husband and wife were, so they hurried back to Zhonghai when Qiao Rin was dying, wholeheartedly thinking about the idea of inheritance. Even a villain like him, who has never regarded himself as a gentleman, sighs at the behavior of the two of them.
At least, the hard work he put into the Zhan clan was incomparable to anyone's.
"It's a lot to pay, it's not profitable, it's just that everyone has their own plans. If diligence is useful, why do you need talent? Zhan Xingchuan, when did you start believing that diligence can make up for your clumsiness? If you weren't your father's son, would you have owned the Zhan clan if you relied on your hard work? Don't be naïve!"
Joe Rachel squinted her eyes and looked at Zhan Xingchuan with an uninhibited expression.
His heart seemed to have been hit by something all of a sudden, and the whole person's expression looked very strange, but soon, Zhan Xingchuan adjusted his expression, he picked up the teacup, lowered his head to drink tea, and was silent.
Seeing that he compromised, Jo Rachel was no longer aggressive, she also seemed to feel thirsty, and poured herself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.
After drinking her cup of tea, she put down her cup and stood up, ready to leave.
When they met this time, the two of them each choked a few words, but they didn't have any practical significance, and Zhan Xingchuan was inevitably a little annoyed. But as a man, he can't detain Joe Rachel here, let alone do anything to her.
As if seeing his dissatisfaction, Rachel Joe smiled back at him: "I haven't been here before, aren't you going to send me off in person?" I don't want to go back and forth here, and I can't go out for half a day." ”
She was telling the truth, the decoration of the "even" was magnificent, including the corridors, but it also had a prominent problem, that is, the places looked somewhat similar. First-time guests generally have to be guided by the waiter to return to the private room smoothly, otherwise it is easy to go in the wrong direction.
Hearing this, Zhan Xingchuan had no choice but to get up and make a "please" gesture.
The two of them walked out of the door together, took the elevator downstairs, and walked in the direction of the gate.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and had not yet reached the entrance of the clubhouse, they heard a peculiar barking of a small milk dog not far away, accompanied by the cheers of children.
Zhan Xingchuan was startled, and immediately reacted, he subconsciously tensed his body, and at the same time whispered to the woman next to him: "Hurry up!"
Rachel Joe was stunned for a moment, then showed a knowing smile, she smiled at him very charmingly, then waved her hand, and said while winking, "Thank you for sending me, that ...... Bye-bye!"
Zhan Xingchuan's mind was completely behind him, and he didn't care about what she said at all, but nodded instinctively.
At this moment, the foot that Jo Rachel had just stepped out seemed to bounce, and she almost fell down with an "ah", and the direction of her fall had to be towards Zhan Xingchuan.
Instinctively, his first thought was to push her out so as not to touch him. But when Zhan Xingchuan's hand really touched Qiao Rachel's arm, he suddenly realized that if he really pushed hard, once she fell, the noise might be louder and cause more unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, at the last moment, Zhan Xingchuan still did not push her out, but grabbed Qiao Rachel's arm hard, forcing her to use herself as a support point and slowly stand firm.
"Oops, it scared the hell out of me!"
She finally straightened up and shook her heel to make sure her ankle wasn't twisted and her shoes weren't broken, before she looked at Zhan Xingchuan apologetically, "Thank you." ”
Zhan Xingchuan's face was expressionless, but he bowed slightly: "It's good to go, don't send it." ”
Rachel Joe also immediately put away all her expressions, returned to her usual silence, and walked straight into the sports car she parked on the side of the road after going out, and walked away.
After standing in place for a few seconds, Zhan Xingchuan turned around.
The sound of the dog barking was still faintly coming from not far away, and he made a distinction and recognized it as the direction of the garden behind the first floor of the clubhouse. It seemed that the resort staff was really fast, and as soon as he finished the call, they brought the puppy over.
Walking over there with a hard head, Zhan Xingchuan prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Ran Xixi hadn't seen the scene just now. Before going downstairs, he told her that he was meeting a client. If she knew that the person she saw was Joe Rachel, she would probably have doubts about what he said, and even question his character.
Sure enough, Zhan Ruijue was playing with the puppy in the garden, one person and one dog running and rolling on the lawn, having a lot of fun. The puppy is still too young to run fast, and if it can't catch up with him, it will be so anxious that its paws flutter wildly, and it will bark in its mouth, making a very funny bark.
Zhan Xingchuan walked over, and sure enough, he saw Ran Xixi sitting on the side.
"The puppy was delivered?"
He asked softly.
Ran Xixi seemed to be taken aback, and when she turned around, she glanced at Zhan Xingchuan, and asked instead of answering: "Are you done?"
He inevitably had a little weakness: "Well, yes, we talked for a while, and we have already talked about it." I'm sorry I accidentally brought work here. ”
She looked at him again, lowered her head slightly, stretched the folds of her skirt with her hand, and said in a light tone: "It doesn't matter, this is your territory, of course you have the final say." ”
Zhan Xingchuan vaguely felt that her tone was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange. Looking at her appearance, she should have been playing here with Zhan Ruijue, and it stands to reason that she can't see the situation at the gate, so naturally it is impossible to know that Qiao Rachel has been here.
He was just about to speak, but Zhan Ruijue had already run over with the puppy.
