Chapter 13: Jiang Wan's Private Photos

Zhou Ying glanced at her best friend Jiang Manman with an expression that seemed to see through everything.

"And isn't this too much of a coincidence? We rarely come here to drink tea, so how did we just happen to run into him?"

At this moment, Jiang Manman also looked completely bewildered.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Ying slapped her thigh.

"He must be stalking me!"

Jiang Manman wore an expression of someone eager for gossip.

"Yingying, if you ask me, you should just break up with that loser."

"Trying to win you back by resorting to stalking."

"Hey, didn't you say you met a Big Brother through a blind date before? What's the situation exactly?"

Mentioning this, Zhou Ying instantly broke into a joyful smile.

"That President Liu took the initiative to come on stage and hold my hand at the blind date event, promising on the spot that if we get married, he'll give me a million yuan as betrothal gifts!"

"Tonight, he even invited me to dinner at the five-star Fusheng Hotel; I'm heading over there in a while!"

"Hmph, since Qin Ze is playing disappearing acts and hard-to-get games with me, it saves me the trouble of breaking up with him."

As Zhou Ying spoke, her face was filled with ecstasy.

"From today onward, Qin Ze and I are no longer people from the same world."

"Let him do whatever he wants, finding several hostesses to put on a show; it has nothing to do with me anymore."

Jiang Manman, however, felt somewhat worried:

"Yingying, you've only known this Brother Liu for less than three days, and you don't even know his background, yet you're so hastily agreeing to have dinner with him..."

"What if you suffer losses?"

"Suffer losses?" Zhou Ying scoffed. "Absolutely impossible."

"Brother Liu is a local from Jiangcheng, and his family is in real estate; with a high-quality man of that caliber, I'm more worried about him suffering losses!"

Jiang Manman opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words.

She knew Zhou Ying well; once this woman got fixated on money, not even ten oxen could pull her back.

While the two of them were talking, Qin Ze had already finished his cigarette on the other side.

"Let's go, it's getting late," Qin Ze said as he stood up.

Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya quickly extinguished their cigarette butts and stood up as well.

"Yes, Brother Qin!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward the elevator.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhou Ying couldn't suppress that surge of curiosity in her heart.

"Manman, let's go, let's follow them and take a look," Zhou Ying said, standing up as well.

Jiang Manman couldn't dissuade her, so she could only stand up and follow.

Qin Ze took Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya in the elevator straight down to the underground parking garage.

Arriving in front of that silver-gray Yangwang U7 EV, Qin Ze unlocked it with his key.

The gull-wing doors slowly lifted upward.

Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya familiarly settled into the back seat.

But this scene, falling into the eyes of Zhou Ying and Jiang Manman, was like dropping a heavy bomb.

"Holy crap..."

Jiang Manman covered her mouth, her eyes widening until they were round.

"Yingying, isn't that car a Yangwang U7? It costs over seven hundred thousand yuan to drive off the lot!"

"Is your boyfriend that powerful?"

Zhou Ying was also stunned.

How was this possible?

How could Qin Ze possibly afford to drive such a car?

"It's fake!" After a moment of thought, Zhou Ying immediately asserted with certainty.

"It must be rented!"

"He's unemployed; how could he possibly afford to drive such a car!"

Watching that Yangwang U7 EV leave the parking garage, Jiang Manman's eyes remained fixed on the direction where the taillights had disappeared.

"Yingying, your ex-boyfriend is probably not simple," she murmured.

Hearing these words, Zhou Ying became even more furious:

"What do you mean not simple? He's just a show-off! Renting a car to pretend to be a Second Generation rich kid, playing hard-to-get with me; don't I know him clearly?"

"But..."

Jiang Manman turned her head, her gaze somewhat complicated.

"Did you see the shopping bags he was carrying in his hand just now? They were all from luxury brand counters, and this car looks brand new; if it were a rented car, that's highly unlikely!"

Zhou Ying was stumped by the question.

That's right, Qin Ze only lost his job last month and doesn't have much savings, so where did he get the money to rent a car worth over seven hundred thousand yuan?

Even renting by the day, it would cost several thousand yuan per day, right?

Could it be that Qin Ze really struck it rich?

As soon as this thought emerged, Zhou Ying quickly dismissed it.

Qin Ze is unemployed now; even if he wanted to get rich, he has no way to do it.

"Manman, why do you always speak up for him?"

"Which side are you on, exactly?"

Zhou Ying was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

"Of course I'm on your side."

Jiang Manman paused, then her eyes suddenly lit up:

"That's right, Yingying, since he's made you so angry, we can't just let it go like this!"

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Ying asked.

Jiang Manman took out her Mobile Phone, a cunning smile curving the corner of her mouth:

"Give me Qin Ze's WeChat ID; I'll Add Friend him and scold him on your behalf!"

Zhou Ying blinked in surprise:

"You're adding him?"

"Yeah, didn't you say Qin Ze blocked you?"

"We've been best friends for so many years; could I just stand by and watch you suffer injustice?"

"I'll add him and give him a good scolding, so he knows you're not someone to be bullied!"

Jiang Manman spoke with righteous confidence.

Hearing this, Zhou Ying agreed without a moment's thought.

"How did I not think of that! I'll push his contact over to you right now."

"While you're at it, tell him to stop pestering me in the future!"

"Leave it to me!" Jiang Manman patted her chest to Guarantee.

Zhou Ying pushed Qin Ze's WeChat contact to Jiang Manman, then Look Around at the time.

"Manman, I have to go; Brother Liu is still waiting for me at the hotel."

Jiang Manman nodded:

"Alright, go ahead, and be careful on the road."

Watching Zhou Ying's retreating figure, the smile on Jiang Manman's face gradually faded.

She opened WeChat, found Qin Ze's profile card, and tapped it.

The profile picture was a simple landscape photo, with Moments visible for only three days.

Jiang Manman stared at that profile picture for a few seconds, then clicked Add Friend.

Then she put away her Mobile Phone, a trace of a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

The Yangwang U7 EV drove along the road back to the hotel.

"By the way, Qingqing, go pick up a car tomorrow," Qin Ze suddenly said.

Su Qingqing was stunned:

"A car?"

"Mm, I casually ordered it yesterday; I've already paid in full, so tomorrow you just need to go to the 4S shop to complete the formalities."

Su Qingqing was completely dumbfounded.

"Bro-Brother Qin, you bought me a car?"

"Yeah." Qin Ze's tone was matter-of-fact, "You can't keep taking taxis everywhere from now on; having a car is more convenient."

Xiao Ya was so shocked she couldn't speak, her mouth open wide enough to stuff an egg inside.

But Su Qingqing panicked.

"B-but, I don't have a driver's license!"

Qin Ze slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt before the red light.

He turned his head, Look at Su Qingqing:

"You don't have a driver's license?"

"No..." Su Qingqing thought she had said something wrong, her eyes soft and watery.

"I'm only nineteen this year, and learning to drive costs over two thousand yuan!"

Qin Ze fell into Silence.

He truly hadn't thought of that detail.

Buying a car for Su Qingqing was, first, to make her travel more convenient, and second, to rake in another sum of Cashback.

But without a driver's license, even if the car was bought, it couldn't be driven.

Wouldn't the Cashback go up in smoke then?

But very quickly, Qin Ze thought of a solution.

"It's fine." He restarted the car.

"Then, after your mother's surgery is done and she has recovered, you can directly enroll in driving school."

"Once you get your license, I'll buy you another one."

Su Qingqing nodded hurriedly:

"Mm! I'll learn as soon as possible!"

Xiao Ya, standing aside, looked on with such envy her eyes went straight:

"Brother Qin, you're too good to Qingqing."

"Covering food, housing, and spending, and now even covering driving lessons."

"This isn't just keeping a mistress; this is practically raising our Qingqing like a daughter!"

Qin Ze Laughed: "What about you? Do you want to learn?"

Xiao Ya's eyes lit up:

"Godfather, may I?"

"You may," Qin Ze said. "Go study with Qingqing; I'll cover the tuition for both of you."

"Thank you, Brother Qin!"

Xiao Ya was so excited she nearly jumped out of her seat.

Qin Ze took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang Wan:

"The Seal I bought yesterday is yours; remember to pick it up tomorrow."

Qin Ze's thinking was very simple!

If the east doesn't shine, the west will; he was determined to pocket this cashback.

A few seconds later, Jiang Wan replied.

But to Qin Ze's surprise, what she sent was not text, but a photo.

In the photo, a pair of legs sheathed in black stockings stood straight and slender, toes slightly curled, exuding an indescribable allure.

The background was the hotel's white bedsheet.

A few seconds later, another photo arrived.

This time it was a photo of lingerie: black lace with a cutout design that covered almost nothing, revealing every curve.

Then came Jiang Wan's message.

"Senior Brother, I'll pick up the car tomorrow~"

"Do you like this lingerie? I'll wear it for you to see tomorrow~"

Looking at the mobile phone screen, Qin Ze's Adam's apple bobbed.

This Jiang Wan was far too skilled.

He replied:

"I'll be waiting tomorrow."

Putting away his mobile phone, Qin Ze felt the fire in his heart flare up again.
