Chapter 494: Chapter 495: Rain Curtain (3)

Lu Weixi felt a bit dazed.

The sky and earth were swirling, weather changing rapidly, all around it was gloomy. There was strong wind and heavy rain, the street was almost devoid of pedestrians, those few who were present took shelter from the rain.

Only Qin Zhiyou, attired in a black suit with black leather shoes, holding a red umbrella, was the only bright color visible. He strolled leisurely on the side of the road, walked directly up to her, and smiled at her. When he grinned, the city’s neon lights also flashed on. The smile reflected in his peach blossom eyes, was like tiny sparks of light, instantly piercing her vision and sinking deep into her heart.

Qin Zhiyou’s arrival sent the atmosphere at the scene soaring.

Many were taking shelter from the rain here, as they saw Qin Zhiyou going out of his way to bring an umbrella, everyone from all three companies was excited!

Were these brothers going to have a showdown? They had all just heard Lu Weixi reject Qin Zhigu’s car, so would Qin Zhiyou’s umbrella meet the same fate?

Seeing his elder brother approach, Qin Zhigu’s face turned pale, but he quickly stepped forward with a determined, do-or-die expression.

Yet Lu Weixi didn’t even look at him, she simply lowered her head and stepped under Qin Zhiyou’s umbrella.

Since Qin Zhiyou himself had come, without hiding in the car, it felt like a display befitting a playboy, and then there was Lu Weixi stepping under Qin Zhiyou’s umbrella, so what did that mean—was she planning on becoming the mistress?

That day, when Liu Yiyi came to cause trouble, they all watched clearly. Lu Weixi herself had declared that she had no improper relationship with Qin Zhiyou. So what was this now, a slap in the face?

There was already a designer on the team who didn’t get along with her. When she had taken leave previously, the designer had tried to replace Lu Weixi. Now she instantly jumped out: “Lu, you once solemnly assured everyone that there was nothing improper between you and Qin Zhiyou; we all even helped you put Liu Yiyi in her place. So what’s the situation now?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou halted. Meanwhile, those nearby who were taking shelter from the rain started to whisper among themselves.

Xiaochen and Xiaoqian were there too, they were worried sick when they heard this. No one else knew, but they knew very well that Lu Weixi had excellent moral values! If she wanted to rely on her beauty to further her career, she wouldn’t be where she is now. Not to mention, last time, both Mr. Liu from Yan Chang Company, and Huang Caiwei’s husband, the senior executive Wei Junlai, among many others had shown interest in her, but she had paid them no mind. The last person she would willingly lower herself to becoming a mistress for was Qin Zhiyou, a notorious playboy.

Qin Zhiyou knitted his brow. He normally couldn’t be bothered with these trifling fools, but now that they had implicated him, he couldn’t just ignore it!

Immediately, he turned around glaring, “Are you implying that there’s something improper between her and me?”

The designer who dared to confront Lu Weixi didn’t have the guts to respond to Qin Zhiyou. At his glance, her momentum instantly dropped, and she stuttered: “It’s not me… it’s the fact… you two…”

Just as Qin Zhiyou was about to speak, Lu Weixi stopped him and responded herself: “You want to know what’s the relationship between Qin Zhiyou and me? I’ll tell you, he’s my relative.”

“Who are you trying to fool, he’s your relative, then how can Qin Zhigu dare to pursue you? Do you take us for fools?”

The designer mustered up her courage to retort.

Lu Weixi calmly glanced at Qin Zhigu: “He and Zhiyou, are cousins.”

Meaning it wasn’t that close, there was a layer between them.
