Chapter 24: Brother, You're Such a Scumbag

ng's woman. It goes without saying that she must have ulterior motives. 。Zhou Li has always looked down on women who use such underhanded tactics.Jiang Mingzhu suddenly felt wronged, and I saw her pit...Zhou Li didn't respond, and Jiang Mingzhu's red fox eyes narrowed as she stared at him for a long time. Her gaze gradually dimmed.

She portrayed a character that evolved from hopeful anticipation to crushing disappointment with an achingly realistic depth of emotion.

For a moment, Zhou Li even felt himself being captivated by her, thinking that she truly held sincere feelings for him.

But he knew too well this woman's scheming ways. How could it be

But in the silence of Zhou Li's contemplation, Jiang Mingzhu had already swallowed the medicine. She ate it with relish, and after finishing, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled at him.

"Have you finished Is brother relieved now" she said. "Although I long to marry my brother, I won't use a child to gain a higher position."

To hear such words from her mouth was indeed strange. Zhou Li sneered, "But you would drug him."

Jiang Mingzhu ignored the sarcasm in his words and said seriously, "A child should be a product of mutual affection. Since my brother doesn't like me, I won't get pregnant."

It seems like she's only going to have children with men who like her.

Zhou Li suddenly remembered Zheng Lin's daughter, four years old, with an unknown mother...

Now that ginger Mingzhu is talking about children, she has changed her usual ruthless ways and become so principled. It's hard not to be suspicious.

"Do you not want to use your child to gain power, or are you just unsuccessful in using them"

Jiang Mingzhu didn't understand his question and was about to ask for clarification when Zhou Li had already started the car again.

Five minutes later, the SUV stopped under her apartment building.

Jiang Mingzhu went to open the car door, but found that it was still locked. She instinctively looked back at Zhou Li, meeting his deep eyes.

In the darkness, his eyes held an undeniable desire, like a surging undercurrent.

Jiang Mingzhu raised an eyebrow. "Brother, do you still want to have a car date with me"

"Don't let anyone know about today's events," Zhou Li commanded her. "Keep your mouth shut."

Jiang Mingzhu let out a "poof" of laughter, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent moons.

Her smile only made Zhou Li's expression colder. "What are you smiling about"

Jiang Mingzhu accused: "My brother always sleeps and doesn't admit it, what a scumbag."

Zhou Li: …

The carriage was silent. Suddenly, Ginger Mingzhu's phone started buzzing in her bag. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Zheng Linshu.

Just now, she agreed to Cheng Linxu's request to message him when she got home. However, Zhou Li, that dog, ended up wasting her time.

Jiang Mingzhu was about to hang up the phone and reply when Zhou Li suddenly snatched her phone away and answered the call.

Just like before, she put it on speaker.

Ginger Mingzhu was about to say a “f*ck” word, should he be so vengeful

"Are you home yet" Zheng Linshu's voice came from the phone.

"I'm here, I'm so hot, I'm going home to take a shower first, I was just about to message you."

Zheng Linxu said, "I appreciate your hard work tonight. Get some rest early when you get home."

Zhou Li heard these words, his gaze suddenly turned cold, and the temperature around him dropped a few degrees.

Ginger Mingzhu felt a murderous gaze on her, like a sword at her back. She just wanted to end the call as quickly as possible: "Well, you should get some sleep too."

Zheng Linxu said, "Don't forget what you promised San San."

Zhou Li watched Jiang Mingzhu effortlessly and smoothly lie to Zheng Lin. After throwing her the phone, he pressed the central control lock, “Get lost.”

Then Ginger Mingzhu left.

When she got out of the car, her legs were still a bit wobbly. Zhou Li tonight was crazier than he'd ever been after taking medicine, looking like he wanted to kill her.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Mingzhu felt the warmth of the summer night breeze blowing through the open window as Zhou Li rolled it down. The air displaced the lingering scent of passion from inside the car.

A hint of fragrance brushed his nose, and he quickly recognized it - the scent of ginger pearls.

——

Ginger Mingzhu went home and took a shower, then fell asleep. The next morning, she was woken up by a phone call from Zhan Yianqing.

Jiang Mingzhu yawned and picked up the phone.

"Did I wake you" Jian Yanqing said, "I'll pick you up before twelve and take you out for a meal. Then we can go get your makeup done."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Um, okay."

After finishing the phone call, Jiang Mingzhu got up and drank a cup of iced Americano, forcing herself to perk up. She still had a tough battle ahead today.

In the morning, Fang Qinyang came by and saw the bruise on Jiang Mingzhu's knee. She was startled.

"Zheng Linxu abused you" Fang Qin Yang was shocked.

"Zhouli." Jiang Mingzhu and Fang Qinyang told each other about what happened last night.

Then Fang Qinian was even more surprised, "Let me think about this. Zhou Li followed you for a whole day"

Ginger Mingzhu: "Hmm."

Fang Qin Yang: "He's fallen for you, hasn't he Seeing you and Zheng Lin Xu go to the hotel, he must have been devastated What about taking pictures and showing them to Zhan Yan Qing, it's just a way to threaten you into sleeping with him."

Ginger Mingzhu thought the same way. Zhou Li didn't look down on her, liking her body and not liking her as a person were two different things.

Fang Qinyang: "He's not the one who spends all day scolding you for seducing men, pretending to be aloof and unmoved. Oh, men."

Ginger Mingzhu tacitly took over Fang Qinyang's words, "Likes the obedient ones, yet can't resist the flirtatious ones. Such a slut."

Especially Zhou Li, who seems cold and aloof on the surface, is actually even more flirtatious in private. While she looks down upon others, she also captivates them with her appearance.

—

At twelve o'clock, Zhan Yanqing drove his new sports car to pick up Jiang Mingzhu and gave her a necklace as a gift.

After lunch, Ginger Mingzhu was taken by Zhan Yanqing to have her makeover. The dress and necklace she wore were both gifts from him.

Jan Yanqing saw Jiang Mingzhu emerge from the dressing room, a flash of astonishment in her peach blossom eyes.

The dress is a black V-neck style, she carries it off effortlessly, her beautiful collarbone and sexy neckline, the moment she appears she can capture everyone's attention.

This was the first time Zhan Yanqing had met a woman like Jiang Mingzhu. Pure, she resembled a rabbit; alluring, she possessed the cunning of a fox. She almost fulfilled every fantasy he had about women.

On the way to the hotel, Jiang Mingzhu asked Zhan Yanqing, "Is it really okay for you to bring me here like this"

Jan Yan-ching: "If the sky were to fall, I would hold it up."

Jiang Mingzhu lightly bit her lips, wanting to speak but holding back.

Jane Chiang: “My sister found you again”

Ginger Mingzhu shook her head. "No, it's just...your parents probably wouldn't like me."

Unknowingly, the car had already stopped at the hotel. Zhan Yanqing opened the car door for Jiang Mingzhu and led her hand towards the registration desk.

Just a few steps in, and I ran into acquaintances, Xu Siyan and Yuan Ye.

They already knew about Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li's affairs, especially Yuan Ye. Every time he saw Zhan Yanqing, he wanted to tell him, "You've been cheated on."

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Yuan, hello." Ginger Mingzhu politely greeted them with a smile.

Xu Siyan nodded faintly, Yuanye's expression was complex.

Afraid of the heat, the wilderness raised its head and saw Zhan Yu Bai walking over with Zhou Li.

Well done, it's a Shura field.

Jane White wore a golden dress today. Zhou Li's tie matched her dress, they should have been carefully styled by a stylist.

Seeing them coming, Jiang Mingzhu instinctively leaned into Jian Yanqing's arms.

Zhou Li saw this scene and cast a cold glance at Jiang Mingzhu.untarily."Have you been waiting for a long time" Jiang Mingzhu stopped, and Zheng Rinxu habitually tidied her hair. "It's grown quite a bit."Jiang Mingzhu: "Not long, I just arrived. Do you have anyon...
