Chapter 19: It Was a Show for Chen Jiazhi
Bei Qingqing was stunned. She was not stupid.
Seeing the look on Lu Yao’s ashen face, she was not here to have a friendly chat. However, it was impossible for her to just ignore Lu Yao, right?
Thinking of this, Bei Qingqing braced himself and walked over.
Lu Yao raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her arrogantly. Her tone was very unfriendly. “Do you know why I called you over?”
Bei Qingqing’s scalp went numb. What else could it be? It was all Chen Jiazhi’s fault for being so reckless in front of Lu Yao. This woman was like a jealous spirit. No one could withstand her jealousy.
Bei Qingqing pretended to be confused and shook her head.
Lu Yao sneered. “You and Brother Jiazhi seemed to be very intimate just now.”
Bei Qingqing said lightly, “How could that be? I was just helping him adjust his back. You saw it too. He asked me to adjust it. Otherwise, why would I want to get close to him?”
Lu Yao gritted her teeth and glared at Bei Qingqing.
“I’m warning you. You’re just a maid by Brother Jiazhi’s side! Don’t think about flying to the top and becoming a phoenix. When you have time, go look in the mirror and see if you’re worthy of him.”
“I’m not thinking of climbing up to the top.” Bei Qingqing was not angry. What Lu Yao said was not wrong. She was indeed like a maid by Chen Jiazhi’s side.
“Humph, I hope so. Don’t step over the line!”Lu Yao warned, “I’m telling you, I’m the only one that can be the future First Lady of the Chen Family!”
“Ah, right, right, right.” Bei Qingqing did not want to continue this argument with her.
Besides, she did not intend to fight with anyone, and marrying Chen Jiazhi was not her intention, to begin with. She really wanted to tell Lu Yao right now that she and Chen Jiazhi were only in a fake marriage and it would not threaten her position. However, she could not say it out loud.
“You, you, you! What kind of attitude do you have?” Lu Yao’s anger flared up as soon as she heard Bei Qingqing’s perfunctory tone of voice.
Bei Qingqing was also a little impatient, and she directly retorted, “I’ve already said it many times, Miss Lu. I’m not thinking of climbing over your head, nor do I have any intention of stepping over the line! Don’t you understand, Miss Lu?”
Lu Yao stomped her feet in anger. No one had dared to speak to her like that. Even in the Lu Family, the entire family had to give in to her.
Now, this insensible maid actually dared to speak to her like that? Just because she had Chen Jiazhi’s favor?
“You! You don’t know what’s good for you!”
Lu Yao was so embarrassed that she flew into a rage. She raised her hand as if she was about to slap Bei Qingqing.
Fortunately, Bei Qingqing was quick-witted and quickly grabbed Lu Yao’s hand. Then, she raised her other hand and swung it at Lu Yao’s face.
Pa!
A crisp sound rang in the corridor. Lu Yao’s eyes widened. Before she could retaliate, she saw a familiar figure in the distance from the corner of her eye.
The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, and then she used the momentum to fall to the ground.
“Aiya!” Lu Yao cried out loud, and she felt secretly proud of herself. If Chen Jiazhi saw her being beaten, he would definitely feel sorry for her. Maybe she could even take the opportunity to get rid of this troublesome maid.
Bei Qingqing looked at Lu Yao, who was lying on the ground, and then looked at her own hand.
It could not be that bad, right? Although the slap just now was mixed with some anger and a little bit of strength, it should not be so bad as to send her falling to the ground.
A second later, she had the answer to her question.
Chen Jiazhi appeared from the corner, pushing himself on the wheelchair. His face was cold as if he had seen everything.
Bei Qingqing held her forehead with a wry smile. It turned out that Lu Yao had was putting on a show for Chen Jiazhi.
Chapter 20: Does Your Hand Hurt?
“No, it’s not what it looks like.” Bei Qingqing’s voice could not help but tremble. Looking at the man’s cold eyes, her heart sank.
Lu Yao lowered her head and squeezed out a few drops of tears. Then, she looked up at Chen Jiazhi with a tender gaze.
“Brother Jiazhi... sob, sob, sob.” Lu Yao waited for Chen Jiazhi to help her up, but Chen Jiazhi did not react at all.
“Brother Jiazhi, don’t blame her. I believe she didn’t mean to hit me... I know that people around you will get jealous of me, and I can’t avoid that. But it’s okay. For you, it’s all worth it.”
The corner of Bei Qingqing’s mouth twitched. What a great actress. With such good acting skills, it would be a waste of talent if Lu Yao did not audition for a role in the film industry.
Chen Jiazhi only glanced at Lu Yao who was on the ground indifferently, then beckoned Bei Qingqing with his hand. “Come here.”
Bei Qingqing’s heartbeat started to quicken. She wanted to explain herself, but as she looked at the scene in front of her and the tearful woman on the ground, she decided to keep her mouth shut.
“Brother Jiazhi, you don’t have to blame her too much. I think she must have realized her mistake now. You don’t have to go through so much trouble for me. Just give her a little bit of punishment. That will do.” Lu Yao looked at Chen Jiazhi’s cold face and fanned the flames.
As Bei Qingqing walked toward Chen Jiazhi, her footsteps were as heavy as lead. Thinking back to the scene just now, she should have endured it, and she should not have acted rashly. From Chen Jiazhi’s point of view, he must have thought that she was the one that pushed Lu Yao to the ground.
She felt uneasy and her footsteps were heavy.
“Stretch out your hand.” His voice was like a ghost in the middle of the night, mysterious and unpredictable. There was not a hint of emotion in it.
Lu Yao looked at Bei Qingqing proudly. She knew that Chen Jiazhi was on her side, and Bei Qingqing was just a maid. Hmph!
Bei Qingqing’s face was pale. Chen Jiazhi would not chop off her hand, right?
She had heard that Chen Jiazhi was extremely ruthless. she could not help but worry about her situation.
She hesitated and withdrew her hand, afraid that it would be gone in the next second.
“Hurry up! What are you waiting for?”
Chen Jiazhi raised his head and looked at Bei Qingqing’s nervous little face. He found it funny. He was not a man-eating monster. Why was there fear written all over her face?
Chen Jiazhi reflected on himself. Could it be that he had been too fierce to her recently? Or had he made things too difficult for her?
He secretly decided that he must be gentler to her in the future so that this easily frightened little white rabbit could be at ease. He wanted her to act coquettishly towards him.
Although Bei Qingqing was somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to stretch out her hand nervously.
However, unlike the storm that she had imagined, Chen Jiazhi did not chop off her little hand.
Chen Jiazhi looked at her slightly red palm and started to gently rub her palm.
He raised his head, looked at her surprised expression, and asked, “Does your hand hurt?”
Bei Qingqing shook her head in a daze, not knowing how to react.
He did not blame me? Moreover, he was still concerned about me. Could he be dreaming?
Lu Yao, who was on the ground, almost dropped her jaw in shock. She looked at Chen Jiazhi’s gentle face in disbelief, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.
“Next time, if you want to hit someone, you can call me or Special Assistant Yao. We will help you. Why do you have to do it yourself? Look at you, your palm is red now.” As he spoke, he did not forget to gently blow on the palm.
As Chen Jiazhi looked at Bei Qingqing’s flushed face, his heart stirred.
“Brother Jiazhi...”
Chen Jiazhi did not want to pay any attention to the woman who was wailing from the ground.
