"Um?"
"Isn't this Zhou Xiaoli's stepmother, Lü Qingqing?"
"How did she get WeChat contact for me?"
When Ye Kai noticed his phone screen light up, he saw that Lü Qingqing, whom he had just added, had sent him a message, and his mind immediately filled with suspicion.
Are you there?
What are you doing?
Ye Kai found this classic chat opening quite interesting, but he couldn't understand what her purpose was in flirting with him.
"?"
I was inclined to ignore it and not reply, but considering that we had just added each other on WeChat today, it didn't seem like the best thing to do to turn my back on her so soon. So I sent her a confused emoji instead.
But he was scrolling through Lü Qingqing's WeChat Moments, trying to see what she usually did.
Every picture in Lü Qingqing's WeChat Moments is carefully selected, showing her dressed up in formal attire. She either shows off her large villa, her limited-edition sports car, or scenes of her traveling with her close friends in a car convoy.
There's nothing else to it, just to highlight the core idea that she's very beautiful, has a rich husband, and is so bored she's practically growing hair.
No wonder she started flirting with me after adding me as a friend. It seems that her social circle is relatively small, and she was curious to find a new person of a different type in her circle.
"Ye Kai, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Ye Kai had responded, Lü Qingqing, still full of curiosity, asked another question.
"Not dry."
"Auntie, why are you suddenly asking this? Haven't you rested yet?"
Ye Kai didn't know what Lü Qingqing wanted to say, so he casually asked her a question.
"I can't sleep."
"After I got back, I drank some red wine, but I still couldn't sleep."
Lu Qingqing pinched the center of her forehead and sent a message with some distress.
She didn't know why, but she just wanted to talk to Ye Kai.
But Lü Qingqing felt conflicted, wondering what common ground she could possibly have with a young man ten years her junior.
But this feeling was strange. Although Ye Kai had choked her several times during the meal, making Lü Qingqing a little angry, now that she had some free time, she missed that special feeling.
Am I a slut?
Lü Qingqing even began to doubt herself.
"Why are you still calling me 'Auntie'?!"
She suddenly remembered this matter again and immediately sent three angry emojis to express her extreme dissatisfaction with Ye Kai's way of addressing her.
"You're an elder; if I don't call you 'Auntie,' am I supposed to call you 'Sister'?"
Ye Kai was also lying on the hotel bed, chatting casually with Lü Qingqing.
Zhou Xiaoli had a lot on her plate and had been away again recently. He himself was looking at some real estate information in Beijing, trying to select a few properties where he could open a flagship store for "Dong Ge's Milk Tea". He didn't expect that Lü Qingqing would come to chat with him.
Since he had nothing better to do, multitasking was no big deal for Ye Kai.
"Yes, from now on, call me 'older sister' in private."
Lu Qingqing took a wine glass from the bedside table, took another sip of red wine, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She suddenly had an idea: if she could seduce Ye Kai, wouldn't she be able to break up his special relationship with Zhou Xiaoli and then smoothly arrange a marriage between Zhou Xiaoli and Qin Ziyu?
If that were the case, the benefits she would reap would be far greater.
Thinking about this, Lü Qingqing felt that she could be more open with Ye Kai and broaden the scope of their conversations so that she could lure this young man over.
I did all this for the Zhou family!
With this righteous cause in mind, Lü Qingqing instantly felt that her furtive flirting behavior had become justified.
"Sister Qingqing?"
Although Ye Kai couldn't figure out the other party's true intentions, he still had the ability to strike while the iron was hot, so he tried shouting something.
"Good little brother."
"Can you tell me about you and Xiaoxiao?"
Seeing Ye Kai obediently call her "sister," Lü Qingqing couldn't help but feel cheerful. She took another sip of red wine and then asked him some gossipy questions.
"Many people in the capital probably know something about what happened between us."
"When Xiaoxiao first came to Xinghua City—"
It wasn't that he couldn't talk about it, so Ye Kai jumped off the bed, poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then began to tell Lü Qingqing the whole story.
He briefly recounted the events from Zhou Xiaoli's near suicide attempt to his help in resolving the issue of missing funds, and their collaboration to become major shareholders of Green Energy Core Power.
Although Ye Kai spoke casually, to Lü Qingqing, it was like a series of thunderclaps, startling her so much that she trembled all over.
"So that's how it is—"
"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known."
"No wonder Xiaoxiao didn't want to go home or talk to us during that time."
After a long while, Lü Qingqing finally murmured.
Only then did she understand why Zhou Xiaoli would rather hang out with an eighteen-year-old boy than accept the various blind dates arranged by her family.
What relationship could possibly be greater than the debt of saving a life?
And who is it that can help her earn hundreds of millions so easily?
Lu Qingqing asked herself honestly, if someone had treated her like that back then, why would she have considered marrying a wealthy man who was almost thirty years older than her?
Although she is indeed financially free, in her heart, what difference is there between her and the canaries kept in cages at home?
Before she knew it, Lü Qingqing had finished most of the bottle of red wine.
Her face grew increasingly red, her body felt hot, her face was burning, and her mind became somewhat sluggish, yet her interest in chatting with Ye Kai only increased.
"This incident had a significant impact on her."
"However, your family is different from ordinary families like ours. I imagine Xiaoxiao wouldn't want to share the most vulnerable moment of her life."
"If you hadn't insisted on asking this question, I wouldn't have brought it up myself, since doing so would have gone against Xiaoxiao's wishes."
After Ye Kai finished speaking, he made a point of emphasizing this.
If Ye Kai hadn't personally met Zhou Xiaoli's stepmother today and felt that she was someone he could communicate with, he wouldn't have casually mentioned this matter.
It seems that Lü Qingqing, the stepmother, is more concerned about Zhou Xiaoli's life than Zhou Weitong, the father. This is the conclusion Ye Kai came to after careful observation.
"Thank you for trusting me so much and telling me what happened."
"If you ever need any help in the future, just tell your sister."
Lu Qingqing felt she could pass out drunk at any moment, so before she did, she made a promise to Ye Kai.
"Then, shall we take a look at your legs?"
Thinking of the elegant Lü Qingqing during dinner today, and the long legs beneath her dress, Ye Kai sent this message as if by some strange impulse.
Damn, it seems there's no undo function now.
Looking at the message that had already been sent, Ye Kai felt a pang of regret.
