Chapter 1
What Old Zhou mentioned is precisely that place. No welcoming of guests, no sending off of guests. How can one operate in such an expensive rental area?
Jing Miyu was still in shock, with the sports car's left corner and her left door separated by only an inch
She lives on the 9th floor. She does not like living in high-rise buildings, and 9 was the lowest number available at that time
The piercing gaze made her lower her brows, and then she pressed the car window down
Handsome and also floral
He has made a new discovery
A white sports car was charging towards her. Half of her vehicle was on the roadway, and if the sports car could not stop, the two cars would collide directly. Moreover, the part of the sports car that would collide was precisely where she was seated in the driver's seat
Jing Miyu has four goldfish, vibrant in color, with clear tails and fins. She has customized a foldable workbench in front of the fish tank. When she feels tired, her gaze shifts to the fish tank
The outdoor parking lot is located on the north side of the commercial plaza. The municipal road on the north side is under construction, and only those parking are allowed to pass through; others do not walk here. Pedestrians are hurrying by on the east and west sides of the mall, and no one is paying attention to the north entrance
Moreover, the man shifted his gaze to her feet, saying, "Do not wear high heels while driving"
Diao Zhengke bent down to take a seat, pulled out a document bag from his briefcase, and pushed it in front of her, "This is the information you requested"
Yan Yu let out a barely audible hum and said, "My lawyer will discuss the matter of compensation with you"
Although Mingming is in the south, it is colder than in the north. Especially at this moment, the biting wind mixed with light rain falls on her cheeks, chilling her to the bone
"Qi Yufeng." Jing Miyu looked at his handsome face, "It's raining and quite cold, let me go back to the car."
Her shoe soles are very clean. Like his, they are new shoes
"What if the surveillance is broken?" Yan Yu washed away the dark hues of the black water ditch and smiled pleasantly
She raised her smile, "Is the ID photo really this handsome?"
Jing Miyu untied the rope, and several documents slipped out. The first thing she saw was a photograph of a man. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with a lip line that seemed to smile yet not smile.
Qi Yufeng patted Jing Mi Yu's shoulder and said, "You should go back first, I will talk to him."
She leaned out of the car window, pretending not to see his face, which was as gloomy as if it had been washed in a dark gutter, "Your car is blocking my car door"
Her attention returned to Yan Yu's information, her slender jade-like fingers tapped twice on the photo, "Are there any photos of his girlfriends?"
Jing Miyu thought to herself: If he said that, it is likely that the surveillance is indeed malfunctioning
She unconsciously tapped the desktop with the upper right corner of her phone
Qi Yufeng smiled reassuringly
Jing Miyu's gaze shifted to the information following the first page of photographs
Qi Yufeng followed her gaze downward and said, "You always love to wear white shoes on rainy days"
At that moment, he clearly saw her appearance
A slender, seed-shaped face, with eyes as dark brown as aged soy sauce, and skin as fair as table salt. It is only to be blamed that he overindulged in dumplings at noon, with his mind filled with thoughts of condiments.
"Jing Miyu." The man blocked her path, "When did you arrive in Beixiu?"
What was heard was a shutdown reminder. Ever since Diao Zhengke took over the investigation, Lao Zhou's number has been turned off.
She pressed the accelerator and drove out of the parking lot
The sky after the rain is both gray and low
Jing Miyu got into the car and quickly changed into her spare shoes. She started the vehicle and slowly drove out of the parking space. She rolled down the right front window, leaned over, and said to Qi Yufeng, "I apologize for not paying attention while parking"
He pressed further, "Why didn't you let me know when you arrived?"
She paused, contemplating whether to wait for him to leave or to graciously step forward and greet him
Diao Zhengke hurried away, his bright leather boots stepping on a loose square tile, splashing gray water and dirtying his new shoes
"Yes, Miss Jing and I are from the same hometown," Diao Zhengke naturally responded.
Jing Miyu opened the door, and heard the sound of water flowing from the bathroom
"Yes, it hasn't changed," she smiled, "I left first"
She raised her gaze and asked, "Are you investigating me?"
Jing Miyu looked at this place of origin and took a sip of iced coffee. "Is it Fuzhu City?"
Suddenly, her hand, which was gripping the backrest, was seized by Qi Yufeng
She could not discern the relationship between Qi Yufeng and Yan Yu, so she thanked them and left. Upon returning to the driver's seat, as soon as the car started, she saw Yan Yu reveal a smile that held a deeper meaning
She did not delve deeply into his words and casually asked, "When will Old Zhou be back?"
At that moment, she clearly saw that his Land Rover Range Rover was right next to her car on the right side. She politely nodded at him and said, "I will drive out now"
Is that so? Jing Miyu stared at him intently, resting her elbow on the armrest, with her left pinky finger gently touching the corner of her left lip
Mingming is in the south, yet it is called Beixiu City
Upon first seeing this information, she speculated that he was a walking reproductive organ based on a pile of girlfriend photos. However, after today's encounter, her impression of him has changed.
Qi Yufeng looked up in surprise and said: "Yan Yu?"
I have a pair of flat shoes in the car She walked towards the car door
Diao Zhengke watched her leave her seat
Jing Miyu pressed her lips together. The file bag containing the information provided by Diao Zhengke was placed on the back seat of the car. In front of her, Yan Yu appeared more vivid and real than the written description.
At this moment, the sound of a vehicle approached from the left side
"Miyu, are you hurt?" Qi Yufeng opened the right car door and leaned in.
Neither the male nor the female driver in the vehicle moved
She glanced at Yan Yu. He had no intention of driving away in the sports car. She changed her shoes and climbed into the passenger seat
Jing Miyu's residence is a 60-square-meter apartment. The company reimburses half of the rent
He leaned against her car's right front headlight, examining something. That tall figure stood in the gloomy rainy day, gazing into the distance, where the buildings along the street appeared in a state of gray desolation
After the sports car collided directly with the Mercedes-Benz, it pushed the entire Mercedes-Benz to the wall, completely destroying the front of the vehicle. This clearly demonstrates Yan Yu's arrogance
She heard it. However, the sports car was moving at a high speed, and she could only watch helplessly.
He leaned down and asked, "Is your phone number still the same?"
Upon arriving in Beixiu City, Jing Miyu has changed three cleaning staff. Only Aunt Wang takes care of the goldfish with great attention to detail
This city is quite strange
Aunt Wang left after finishing the cleaning
The sports car came to a sudden stop, its tires screeching sharply against the ground. The man in the car turned the steering wheel to the right, and the front of the car nearly brushed against Jing Miyu's vehicle, colliding with the Mercedes parked on the left side of her car
The blackboard standing at an angle in front of the store, depicting a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet, has been rendered comical yet endearing by the rainwater blurring it
Jing Mi Yu smiled and nodded. "Yes."
As he pulled, she leaned out of the car
"Yan Yu." Qi Yufeng called him again
"But the cause of the accident is you." Yan Yu chuckled lightly, "As a result, both you and your car are safe and sound, while I have suffered significant losses with the Mercedes. Who do you think should compensate whom?"
There is a puddle of rainwater where the car is parked, which has soiled her shoe's surface
She turned to Qi Yufeng and said, "You will testify for me, won't you?"
Diao Zhengke then realized that the line at the corner of her lips was longer than that of an ordinary person. It is said that people like this have particularly beautiful smiles. "We do not investigate our clients"
"The transfer will proceed as per the old rules." Jing Miyu closed the documents and picked up the beige trench coat from the chair. "I will take my leave now"
She grasped his hand in a reverse hold
On the somewhat desolate commercial street, a billboard playfully jutted out from a lamp post. The words "OneFool" appeared vividly, as if mocking the folly of humanity
I envy these carefree fish, yet I lament that they can only swim back and forth in this small space
Diao Zhengke got out of the taxi and looked for the destination
He glanced at the large cup of coffee on the wooden table and politely handed over his business card, "Hello, I am Diao Zhengke, who contacted you yesterday."
Aunt Wang came out with a cloth, greeting warmly and politely, "Miss Jing has returned"
The sports car was struck, narrowly coming to a stop at an angle
"A year ago, it was transferred from the official affairs department." She looked at his hand that crossed over. This pair of sturdy hands had once given her warmth during the cold winter.
Arrogant and disrespectful, domineering and overbearing
Qi Yufeng's palm has deep and long lines that converge to form a character resembling 'Chuan'. In her childhood, she heard that men with such palm lines are steady and wealthy, making them worthy of trust.
"Yan Yu." Qi Yufeng's brows furrowed tightly, "You are making such a commotion, the security will be here soon. Who do you think is the main cause in the surveillance footage?"
Her index finger grazed his palm
She turned her head to take a look, her heart racing as she pressed the brake tightly
Qi Yufeng retreated to the roadside and shouted urgently: "Reversing! Mi Yu, back up!"
Jing Miyu dialed Old Zhou's phone number
Yan Yu raised an eyebrow, "Your old flame?"
Jing Mi bit her lips slightly. There was no longer a way to pretend that she had not encountered this.
She took it. The business card was the same as Lao Zhou's, using highly saturated complementary colors, exuding a strong rustic charm
She took a breath and said, "I am fine"
Qi Yufeng bent down again, signaling Jing Miyu to get out from the passenger seat
Jing Miyu brushed her long hair on the left side over her shoulder and said softly, "You did not hit me; you can discuss compensation with Mercedes."
The dark clouds compressed the sky, and a light rain began to fall
The water in the fish tank has just been changed Aunt Wang is the regular cleaner who comes once a week
Jing Miyu opened the glass door of OneFool
Yan Yu stood at the front of Jing Mi Yu's car, her cold gaze piercing through the window towards her. "Get out of the car."
It is evident that the information is lacking: this Yan Yu is not only extravagant but also malicious
Yan Yu, male, 28 years old, height 1.82 meters, weight 74 kilograms. Hometown: Fuzhu City
Alright, thank you
This is a brazen reproductive organ
His warm palm enveloped her icy fingers
Jing Miyu immediately switched to reverse gear, but there was not enough time
The two individuals leaned closely together, and from Yan Yu's perspective, it seemed as though Qi Yufeng had embraced her. He tapped on the front hood of her car, "Madam, let's discuss compensation."
She walked towards the outdoor parking lot
Jing Miyu placed the workbench horizontally, sat on the wooden chair, opened the file bag, and carefully examined Yan Yu's information. The content of these few pages mainly focused on Yan Yu's rich romantic history, with only a few brief sentences covering other experiences.
The fine rain falling on her long hair resembled a veil. Qi Yufeng watched and stepped aside.
He stepped forward to inquire: "Miss Jing Miyu?"
In the next moment, he discovered her
Jing Miyu smiled. She not only loves to wear them on rainy days, but also wears them on sunny days. However, it is only during the continuous rainy days that he pays attention to her shoes
Pushing open the small glass door of OneFool, the long bar is empty, and there is no sign of any staff in the store. Only a young woman is sitting by the window
The second column on the second page details his romantic experiences. Since the age of eighteen, he has been in relationships with twenty-four girlfriends. Prior to turning eighteen, he had two.
At a turn, she saw a man in a suit standing in front of her car
He was taken aback for a moment and denied, saying, "No, no, no, it was Old Zhou who informed me about Miss Jing's situation"
Perhaps next month
There is, starting from page 3
She walked over and stood in front of him, a smile curving on her lips
I am a young woman who turned to him
The man in the sports car opened the convertible top and jumped down
Hmm?
The man stared at her and said in a deep voice: "How many times have I told you? Do not cross the line on the right side when parking. You need to leave space for the adjacent driver to open the door."
Yan Yu snorted, clearly not believing Qi Yufeng's words. He fixed his gaze on Jing Miyu
My friend. Qi Yufeng stood up straight with one hand resting on the car door
From the moment Jing Miyu saw Yan Yu's information, she was contemplating the circumstances of their encounter. His appearance is most suitable for love at first sight. Most of the boyfriends she had in the past appeared when she was already psychologically prepared. Yan Yu's sudden intrusion caught her somewhat off guard. If she were to fall in love at first sight here, it would be somewhat akin to Stockholm syndrome.
Chestnut-colored wavy long hair cascades down a slender back, while white high heels make a "tap tap tap" sound in the quiet OneFool
