Chapter 21: Misunderstanding
Seeing Wei Xing's thin and gloomy back disappear at the stairs, Jiang Qingqing patted her chest with her hand and said, "Scared me, suddenly someone came out behind me." He looked scary. β
Just now, Wei Xing just looked at Jiang Qingqing quietly for a minute, and he didn't speak until he turned to leave. Silence and tears are sometimes more heart-wrenching than roaring.
"It's just that he thinks too much." Someone was still teasing without sympathy, and asked with a smile: "I'm curious now, how high is the standard in Miss Jiang's heart?" β
Someone immediately replied, "I don't know how tall it is." But I can make it clear that we are certainly not qualified. β
Jiang Qingqing smiled embarrassedly: "Who said that." You're all leaders, and I'm satisfied with having you as a boyfriend. β
"Miss Jiang is really comforting. For those of us who only got into a deputy position in our 30s, there is no future. It's like someone in his 20s, and he has only been in the company for a year and is already the deputy director of the office. β
"You're talking about Zhang Liang, right?" The man nodded in agreement: "En, this young man is indeed powerful. Not only did several senior executives of the company praise him, but this time he was also the deputy director appointed by the general manager. I heard that he pulled a ticket for Sophie's restaurant business some time ago. β
The bystanders immediately exclaimed: "Sophie's restaurant?!" That's the city's high-end club, how did he get in touch. Sure enough, people can't be disgraced! β

"Look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived." Someone pointed not far away and raised his hand to beckon: "Zhang Liang, this way!" β
Zhang Liang was cruising in the field with a cup, and when he heard someone calling him, he came over with a smile.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Zhang Liang saw a flash in the darkness, and then he turned behind Jiang Qingqing and lowered his head to pick it up from the ground.
"Jiang Qingqing, did you drop this?" Zhang Liang handed the half-opened ebony jewelry box to Jiang Qingqing.
After Jiang Qingqing opened it curiously, she saw a gorgeous amethyst necklace lying in it. The delicate style and the sparkling amethyst immediately made her ecstatic.
"Thank you! It's beautiful! Jiang Qingqing held the necklace in the palm of her hand, her eyes couldn't leave for a moment, and her face was already smiling.
"Wow! Director Zhang, I can't imagine that you will be so romantic! The necklace is not clear, it's amazing! Several men looked at this precious necklace with envy, and couldn't help but give Zhang Liang a thumbs up.
"Huh?" Zhang Liang grabbed his hair inexplicably, he hadn't figured out what was going on. Just now he just saw that there seemed to be something behind Jiang Qingqing, and he thought it was Jiang Qingqing who had fallen it. Why did it suddenly become a necklace he gave Jiang Qingqing?
That's a coincidence. Zhang Liang did hear Li Jie say that he wanted to match a newcomer, but Li Jie never said who was with whom. And when inviting people today, Zhang Liang just explained to Li Jie: You can call whoever you want. The others didn't care, so Zhang Liang didn't know that it was Wei Xing and Jiang Qingqing until now. When he saw Jiang Qingqing at night, Zhang Liang thought it was called by a department leader. Otherwise, if he knew about it, he would have explained it clearly.
"Director Zhang, I didn't say you. Giving people necklaces, according to the rules, you have to bring them by hand. β
Several do-gooders suddenly burst into an uproar.
Jiang Qingqing bit her lower lip lightly and shyly handed the necklace to Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang looked at Jiang Qingqing's coquettish appearance and smiled. At this time, even if he knew that it was a misunderstanding, he would not explain it again. Since it's a good thing, let's admit it first! Simply and generously took it. His hands were wrapped around Jiang Qingqing's slender neck.
"Beautiful! It's beautiful! It is said that Baoyu is a gift to a beauty, and Miss Jiang really has a bit of a taste of the country and the city when she wears it. Director Zhang, you are really good at picking gifts, I think you must hug the beauty tonight! β
Jiang Qingqing, who wore a necklace, looked even more dazzling, and everyone present couldn't help but praise one after another.
While laughing, Jiang Qingqing suddenly kissed Zhang Liang on the cheek, and leaned on Zhang Liang's arms.
Zhang Liang's personality is free and easy, and he drank a few more glasses at this time, and he naturally enjoyed Jiang Qingqing's graceful body close to him. Haha laughed, and wrapped his arm around Jiang Qingqing's waist without mind.
Li Jie, who was sitting on the sofa on the side, was already frowning. When he saw Wei Xing walking over and Jiang Qingqing staring at each other without making any moves, he felt bad in his heart. It's just that he couldn't hear what was going on there, and he didn't know exactly what was going on. After watching Wei Xing leave, Zhang Liang actually put on a necklace for Jiang Qingqing after he came...... I was shocked, something must have gone wrong over there.
Hurriedly pushed Feng Xiaoting's arm: "There's a problem over there." β
Feng Xiaoting, who was looking at her mobile phone, raised her head, looked down and asked suspiciously: "What about Wei Xing?" How did Zhang Liang become holding Jiang Qingqing? β
"Let's go check it out." Li Jie stood up and walked over in a few steps.
On the way, Li Jie used his ability uneasily, and silver light flashed between his eyes. But I saw that in the picture: Jiang Qingqing was enthusiastically rolling on the bed with Zhang Liang...... My heart suddenly became angry.
Ignoring the others, he dragged Zhang Liang out of the pile. reproached: "Why are you getting involved with Jiang Qingqing?" β
Zhang Liang wondered, "What's this?" What is there to be curious about me and Jiang Qingqing. β
Li Jie briefly said what happened to Wei Xing, and then glared: "Did you give her the necklace prepared by Wei Xing as your own?" β
Zhang Liang slapped his thigh violently, and suddenly realized: "No wonder! I said, someone still drops such a precious necklace?! But now it's like this, what to do? I can't say that I faked it, then I have no face. β
Li Jie hesitated. If you want to say that it is usually okay, I can only sigh that Wei Xing does not have this blessing, and just picked up a cheap price for Zhang Liang. However, when he glanced at Jiang Qingqing, he immediately changed his mind. He really didn't like a woman like Jiang Qingqing, and he didn't want his brother to be entangled by this vain and indecent woman. Then he said solemnly: "I don't care about the rest, but you can't go with Jiang Qingqing tonight." β
Zhang Liang naturally knew what Li Jie was referring to, and said with a smile: "Brother, you see that I am also difficult to ride a tiger now." Everyone has made it clear, am I going to retreat or a man? Besides, I can't let Miss Feng's jewelry go to waste. β
Feng Xiaoting interjected: "I don't like people like Jiang Qingqing either, Wei Xing must have been beaten away by her just now." You are not allowed to have sex with her. β
Zhang Liang still wanted to explain, but he saw Jiang Qingqing on the side leaning over and intimately holding Zhang Liang's arm: "Come here, a few people are waiting for you to drink." β
"Oh, here it is." Zhang Liang hurriedly took the opportunity to hug Jiang Qingqing and walked away.
"Director Zhang, you gave people such beautiful jewelry. Do you want to take me somewhere in a moment? Jiang Qingqing leaned on Zhang Liang's arms in a charming manner.
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can go wherever you say." β
Walking into the crowd, someone is inviting for a drink. Zhang Liang said loudly: "I'll leave first after drinking this cup." I'll have something to do in a moment. β
Everyone was aware and laughed and teased: "Yes, you have to save your energy." There's definitely going to be a good show in the evening! β
Feng Xiaoting pulled Li Jie, who was a little depressed, and comforted: "Forget it." Zhang Liang is right, he can only blame Wei Xing for not having this life. β
Li Jie looked ahead, shook his head and said, "It's not Wei Xing's business now, I can't hurt my brother." I can't let him wake up tomorrow and regret it. β
If it was usual, Li Jie believed that Zhang Liang would only joke but would never stick a finger to Jiang Qingqing. But at this time, he was already carried away by the praise, coupled with the effect of alcohol, he lost his mind in the face of Jiang Qingqing, a stunner. Although he would never choose a woman like Jiang Qingqing as his wife, if he wanted to get out after the relationship, he was afraid that he would get into a lot of trouble.
As a brother, you can't just share his happiness, but more importantly, think calmly for him when the other party is not sober.
Li Jie, who had made up his mind, strode over. Scoop up a goblet next to him and pour a glass of red wine. He said loudly: "I salute Director Zhang Gao Sheng for this cup." β
"Thanks, brother!" Zhang Liang raised his glass and drank with Li Jie.
Unexpectedly, Li Jie took two more bottles of red wine, and uncorked the bottles in Zhang Liang's surprised gaze: "One bottle per person!" Today we must not get drunk and not go home. β
Zhang Liang looked at him and wondered, "Do you drink so much?" A bottle that you dried? He blinked, thinking that he had reacted to the other party's purpose, and laughed: "It's not so easy for you to get me drunk." β
Immediately recruited a waiter to take two dice, handed one to Li Jie and said: "Use this to help the fun, whoever loses will drink." β
After so long, Zhang Liang also knows that Li Jie has never won against him when he plays dice, and Li Jie's alcohol consumption is no more than two bottles of red wine.
I thought that the other party would retreat in the face of difficulties, but Li Jie smiled disapprerovingly: "This is what you said, whoever loses will drink!" β
Out of his familiarity with Li Jie, every time he shows this kind of expression, it is a sure thing. But this time Zhang Liang didn't believe it, and said firmly: "En." I said, drink what you lose. β
"Good!" Li Jie turned around and shouted, "Waiter, change a case of foreign wine." β
"It's not good, it's going to be bad!" Zhang Liang's heart jumped violently, and the hand holding Jiang Qingqing unconsciously let go......
Half an hour later, Zhang Liang, who had finished drinking the last cup, slipped off his chair with a bang. was helped up, and he was already lying on the table and falling asleep. In front of him lay a circle of empty bottles.
Li Jie exhaled and put down the dice. smiled and nodded at Feng Xiaoting: "Please send Zhang Liang away." β
At this time, Feng Xiaoting was looking at Li Jie with surprise in her eyes, if she didn't know anything about Li Jie, she would definitely think that Li Jie was a master of wine.
Originally, at the beginning, there were still colleagues cheering and cheering, but it didn't take long for the excitement to gradually subside, and the crowd around them became jaw-dropping.
More than 20 in a row, one did not lose. Did Li Jie do this?
Feng Xiaoting glanced at the paralyzed Zhang Liang sympathetically, shook her head and sighed: "You actually took the initiative to pick him to play dice, you really deserve it." β
He beckoned to a bodyguard and gave a few commands. I saw the bodyguard carry Zhang Liang on his shoulders and strode out of the hall. Jiang Qingqing behind her could only watch the other party go away in disappointment.
"How did you do that?" Feng Xiaoting asked the other party in surprise. The latter smiled slightly.
In fact, it is easy to say, fate is not only for people, inanimate objects also have fate. So as long as Li Jie looks at the dice in Zhang Liang's hand, he naturally knows what number it will become soon.
The silver light flickered in his eyes, and he finally found that the appearance of the man on Jiang Qingqing's bed in the picture gradually blurred, and finally disappeared, leaving Jiang Qingqing alone.
At this time, Li Jie was really relieved, and sighed that his efforts were not in vain......
On the way home, Li Jie sat in Feng Xiaoting's car. Looking out the window at the dark night sky, a heavy rain was pouring down without warning.
Fail!
The power of fate is indeed powerful. No matter how much preparation was made before, no matter how well the script was designed, Wei Xing still couldn't get Jiang Qingqing's favor. Even with the ability to inquire about fate, the priceless amethyst necklace still can't make changes to Wei Xing's fate trajectory.
This made Li Jie feel deeply powerless and frustrated.
And then he had a messy fight with Zhang Liang, but unexpectedly changed the originally established picture.
Is this the hope left for the world?
Li Jie felt like a fish swimming in turbulence, trying to find space to breathe. It's like figuring out something, but I can't figure it out for a while.
He was so distraught that he turned his head to find that Feng Xiaoting beside him was silently staring at him. I felt the other party's concern for me, and smiled with gratitude.
Suddenly, Feng Xiaoting's eyes flashed, and she shouted, "Stop!" β
Chirping! The bodyguard in front slammed on the brakes. As soon as I stopped, I saw the car door open. Feng Xiaoting lowered her head and rushed into the heavy rain.
"Miss!" The two bodyguards were dumbfounded, and quickly unbuckled their seat belts and rushed out of the car.
Li Jie also didn't know why, and ran out. I saw Feng Xiaoting's figure rushing back in a hurry.
Feng Xiaoting got into the car and complained loudly: "It's raining so hard, it's drenching me." β
Li Jie sat back in the car and reproached, "What are you doing? Don't say hello, nerve! β
After a few days, the two bodyguards were also accustomed to the casualness between Li Jie and Feng Xiaoting, and they had no feeling in the face of Li Jie's disrespectful words. just said with a bitter face: "Miss, you rushed out suddenly, in case something happens, we can't afford it." β
Feng Xiaoting grinned and shook her soaked hair. When he released his embrace, he revealed a soaking white kitten on his chest.
"I just saw it pitiful in the rain, so I couldn't help but get out of the car and pick it up."
Li Jie didn't expect Feng Xiaoting to run out in the rain, just to bring the stray kitten back. Stunned, he was slightly moved: "I didn't expect you to have such a good heart." β
At this time, Li Jie couldn't help but be a little stunned, and suddenly realized that he was wrong. In the past few days, Li Jie has always had a kind of resistance to Feng Xiaoting. Even when Feng Xiaoting was wet in the rain just now, Li Jie's first reaction was to yell at her, subconsciously believing that it was just the nonsense of a rich lady. At this moment, Li Jie realized that he should be more tolerant of Feng Xiaoting. Although her birth is different, she also has the same kind side as the poor Li Jie. Recalling the contact in the past few days, Feng Xiaoting just really regarded Li Jie as a friend, and really helped him a lot.
Staring at the other party, Li Jie's tone became soothed and said, "Next time you encounter this situation, you can tell me first." β
"Got it." Feng Xiaoting stuck out her tongue mischievously and carefully wiped the rain on the kitten with a tissue. The cat lay obediently in the crook of Feng Xiaoting's arm, and from time to time stretched out its tongue to lick her skin.
"It hurts!" Li Jie bent down with his head in his hands. A sharp pain in his head, accompanied by a mechanical voice: "Come to the void space!" β
"What's wrong?" Feng Xiaoting anxiously helped Li Jie, seeing that his face began to turn pale.
Li Jie raised his head sharply and urged: "Send me home quickly, there is something urgent!" β
Under Feng Xiaoting's order, the bodyguard directly ran three red lights in a row, and rushed all the way to Li Jie's house.
As soon as he stopped, Li Jie couldn't wait to get out of the car.
Running upstairs, just about to go into the bathroom. was stunned to find that Feng Xiaoting actually followed.
"Why are you here too?"
Faced with Li Jie's questioning, Feng Xiaoting ignored him: "It's not the first time I've come to your house. Look at how anxious you are, think you have something. β
Li Jie's mind was echoing the call over and over again, and he didn't have time to explain more to her. He hurriedly dropped the sentence: "The chief manager called me." β
Immediately, he pressed his hands on the bathroom mirror. When the mirror was in the shape of water waves, I plunged into it.
It was not the first time Feng Xiaoting had seen such a scene, but it still made her smack her tongue in surprise when it happened so close in front of her eyes. I tried to touch the restored mirror with my hand, and I was even more surprised.
Before Feng Xiaoting could react, the mirror changed again.
Circles of ripples spread out, and Li Jie's figure suddenly came out of it.
"So fast, what's wrong with you?" Feng Xiaoting couldn't help but ask when she saw that Li Mingli was coming and her face became more and more solemn.
Li Jie, who was distressed, let out a long sigh: "There is another task." β
"Mission?" Feng Xiaoting reacted: "Is it the same as the last time you persuaded me to go home?" What is it this time, do you want me to accompany you? β
Feng Xiaoting's curious questioning only made Li Jie sigh even more, as if this mission made him uneasy.
"I'm the only one to go. And it's so far away that you can't follow it. β
Feng Xiaoting said angrily: "Cut! If you don't take me, I'll go by myself. How rare! The world is so big, is there a place I can't go if I want to go? β
Li Jie, who had a bitter face, said aggrievedly: "It's really not that I don't want to take you there." It's just too far...... In the state of Qin. β
