Just when Zhou Xuan thought she was going to cry for a long time, Wei Xiaoqing suddenly stopped crying, wiped her tears away, and then looked up at Zhou Xuan with red and swollen eyes, asking, "Zhou Xuan, can you tell me where my sister is? What happened to her?!"
Volume 1, Chapter 574: Unable to Think Clearly
When Zhou Xuan heard Wei Xiaoqing's words, he was stunned. He felt bad for Wei Xiaoqing crying so sadly, but he didn't dare to soften his heart and comfort her, for fear that if he softened his heart, things would get out of control.
But he was completely unprepared for Wei Xiaoqing's sudden question. How could he dare to talk about Wei Xiaoyu's matter? Wei Xiaoqing continued, "Zhou Xuan, don't lie to me. I know my sister isn't on a mission. I asked her comrades in the army a couple of days ago, and they said she'd been discharged eight months ago. Since she'd been discharged, there's no way she could have kept it from my dad and grandpa. I've asked them about this, but no one will tell me the truth. I know they won't tell me because it's related to me, because they're afraid I won't be able to handle it. And what could be related to me besides you?"
Zhou Xuan was genuinely stunned. Wei Xiaoqing was very perceptive and not stupid; these analyses were all correct, but he really couldn't say anything.
Seeing Zhou Xuan remain silent, Wei Xiaoqing continued, "I know my sister only has eyes for you; it's no secret in our family. She was missing for seven or eight months, and my family didn't ask about it at all. I knew my family knew where she was; not worrying meant she was safe. I've calculated that you were missing during the same months she was gone. You've been home these past few months, but before that, you and my sister were missing for three months at the same time. Were you together during that time? Did something happen?" Zhou Xuan paused, then smiled bitterly, "Xiaoqing, your imagination is too vivid. I have nothing to say. Spend more time with your grandfather and chat with him!" Wei Xiaoqing hadn't expected Zhou Xuan to be hinting at her grandfather. She snorted, "Of course I'll spend time with my grandfather. Do you really not want to face me?" "I can't sleep every night, I think about you every moment. I know that even if I die, I can only die thinking of you. I don't need any promises from you, and I won't bother you. But you can't do this to my sister. I beg you, can you tell me where my sister is?" Zhou Xuan frowned, pondering how to bring this up. Wei Xiaoqing continued, "My sister has always been more capable and stronger than me, and she's always protected me. But I know that while she appears strong on the outside, she's fragile inside. Although I may look weak on the outside, I can be more resilient than my sister. I only have this sister; we're twins. Everyone says twins are connected at heart. I can really feel my sister's sadness. So, I beg you, Zhou Xuan, please tell me where my sister is. She needs me!" "No more hesitation from Zhou Xuan. Wei Xiaoqing's words deeply stung her. Wei Xiaoyu was indeed that kind of person. Don't be fooled by her strong female soldier appearance when you first meet her. After falling madly in love with him, she was completely reckless and her heart was very fragile. She made him afraid and worried. He just couldn't abandon Yingying, but Wei Xiaoyu was alone somewhere, seven months pregnant. How could Zhou Xuan not worry? Even if he wouldn't be with her, he was still very concerned about her situation and survival.
However, Wei Xiaoqing did not know that Zhou Xuan did indeed have an affair with Wei Xiaoyu, and all the events that occurred were indeed because of him. But what Wei Xiaoqing guessed wrong was that Zhou Xuan did not know where Wei Xiaoyu was now.
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xuan said hesitantly, "Xiaoqing, I really don't know where your sister is now, but I can't deny that this whole thing started because of me. I can't tell you too much, but I can promise you that as soon as I find out where your sister is, I will tell you first!" Wei Xiaoqing nodded. She knew that what Zhou Xuan said was true, because Zhou Xuan had never lied to her before. Even if he was lying, Zhou Xuan would never lie to her. He would rather not tell her or refuse than lie to her.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "Xiaoqing, there's something else I want to tell you. Yingying is pregnant. I'm going to be a father!" Wei Xiaoqing was stunned, then felt a pang of sorrow. Zhou Xuan's words were a clear message: he had a child, a wife, a family, and nothing more would happen between them. Wei Xiaoqing suddenly felt her body go limp, unable to support herself any longer. She collapsed onto the bed, tears streaming down her face. Zhou Xuan could clearly see the tears soaking the sheet against her face, the tear stains widening in circles. Girls are truly made of water; they cry so much!
Zhou Xuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. It was not a good thing to make a girl so sad, but he didn't have any better words or actions to comfort her. He reached out his hand, but in the end, he withdrew it and scurried away like a mouse!
At that moment, Zhou Xuan felt like a petty person, a complete and utterly petty person. After briefly greeting Ade and the others outside the villa, he hurriedly left.
After leaving Wei Haihong's residential area, Zhou Xuan finally felt a little relieved as he walked along the bustling streets of Zihua.
As dusk approached, the buildings on both sides of the road lit up, and many advertising signs flashed red and green. Zhou Xuan did not take a car. Wei Haihong's home and Hongcheng Garden were both located in the most prosperous area of the western city, not too far apart, a ten-minute drive or a forty-minute walk.
Because this is in the city center, there are many traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, so this ten minutes is actually only a five-minute drive. If Zhou Xuan were to walk, it wouldn't be too difficult.
The main thing was that he was heartbroken. The Wei sisters' situation had caused Zhou Xuan a lot of pain. Although it wasn't entirely his fault that the two sisters were in this state, he was still genuinely unhappy.
As I slowly walked back towards Hongcheng Square, it got dark. But in this city, there's almost no difference between day and night. Darkness is actually the beginning of another kind of life.
The glitz and glamour of city life wasn't what Zhou Xuan loved, but at this moment, he had a urge to get drunk in such a noisy place until he was completely out of it.
After walking for a while, Zhou Xuan simply stopped and sat on the edge of the sidewalk, staring blankly at the cars that kept passing by on the road.
A green QQ car screeched to a halt in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Zhang Lei's beautiful and delicate face. She said with a half-smile, "I saw you wandering around on the street all by yourself. You've been walking for so long, and now you're sitting here. Did something happen to you? Don't do anything rash!"
Knowing Zhang Lei was joking, Zhou Xuan shook his head, then turned his head and asked her, "Are you following me?"
"Tch, do you think you're made of gold?" Zhang Lei bit her lip and said angrily, "Why would I follow you? I just saw you when I was walking by!"
Zhou Xuan looked at her flushed cheeks and chuckled. If he wasn't being followed, why would she follow him if he walked so slowly? But he was really annoyed right now, so he stared at Zhang Lei and asked, "I really want to drink, I really want to get drunk!"
"Want to drink and get drunk? That's easy! It's on me!" Zhang Lei said with a grin. "But you're paying!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "What kind of invitation is this? You treat, I pay. This kind of arrangement is quite rare!"
Zhang Lei smiled radiantly and waved, saying, "Hurry up and get in the car. This is my way of treating you, Zhang Lei. A big tycoon like you, a big scoundrel, who else would I eat if not you!"
Zhou Xuan yanked open the car door and said, "Fine, let's fight. You treat, I'll pay, and you can choose the place. We'll drink the most expensive wine. Let's go!"
As Zhang Lei drove, she laughed and said, "I don't know what the most expensive wine is. If we're going to drink, then it's either bars or nightclubs. Where do you want to go?"
Zhou Xuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Go wherever you want. Anyway, you're not wearing a police uniform, so you're not afraid of going anywhere!"
Zhang Lei giggled, a smug look on her face: "What am I afraid of? With such a capable and invincible thug like you by my side, what do I have to fear? I'd rather a hundred or so bad guys come up and harass me, come and pick a fight with you, and I'd watch you beat them all to a pulp, leaving them sprawled on the ground. Wouldn't that be more fun!"
Normally, Zhou Xuan wouldn't have had such thoughts, but now he was feeling incredibly frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger. Hearing Zhang Lei say this, he immediately glanced at her and said, "Great! Let's go get drunk and fight! How can I not do something so fun!"
Zhang Lei was obviously joking. Hearing Zhou Xuan say that, she assumed he was joking as well. Although she hadn't known Zhou Xuan for long, she knew a little about his personality. Zhou Xuan wasn't afraid of trouble, but in reality, he rarely caused any real trouble.
Before Zhou Xuan could notice, Zhang Lei turned the car to the right, and only then did Zhou Xuan realize that this was a parking lot. The security guard kindly guided Zhang Lei to park.
This is a nightclub. Zhou Xuan got out of the car and saw it clearly. The bottom few floors of this multi-story building are decorated with red and green lights, and above the main entrance are the three large characters "Golden Phoenix Palace" in colorful lights.
The parking lot was filled with luxury cars one after another: Maseratis, Lotus, Porsches, Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces—truly a wide variety. Cars worth millions were countless. Here, Mercedes-Benz, BMWs, Audis, and the like paled in comparison. Zhang Lei's little green QQ parked in the middle was truly an eyesore.
However, Zhang Lei didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and Zhou Xuan seemed not to see the luxury cars at all. The two of them walked towards the nightclub entrance, talking loudly.
Several men who had just gotten out of the car stared at Zhang Lei and Zhou Xuan, glancing at them several times. They had clearly seen Zhang Lei and Zhou Xuan get out of the QQ car. It was rare to see a girl as beautiful as Zhang Lei, and seeing the luxury sports car they had driven, they couldn't resist the urge to seduce her!
Volume 1, Chapter 575: Want to Fight
Chapter 575 Want to Fight
Which woman doesn't love money? Which woman doesn't love wealth?
This group of playboys all had this thought: they saw with their own eyes that Zhang Lei and Zhou Xuan drove a QQ car worth tens of thousands of yuan. How could they have such a beautiful woman without money and power?
Zhang Lei tugged at Zhou Xuan's arm and giggled, then whispered, "Zhou Xuan, do you think those men will fight with you?"
"Hmm, I can't guess, but I really want to have a fight to vent my anger," Zhou Xuan said casually. He had endured too much for a long time and seemed to have reached a breaking point.
The nightclub entrance fee was 200 yuan, but it was free for ladies. All other expenses inside were charged separately. Zhou Xuan took out his wallet at the entrance, but when he opened it, it was empty. There were only bank cards inside, no cash.
Zhang Lei chuckled, took out her wallet from her bag, paid two hundred yuan, then glanced at the men around her, deliberately poked Zhou Xuan's forehead with her finger, and laughed, "You, when are you going to stop living off a woman?"
Upon hearing that Zhou Xuan was a gigolo, the men became even more arrogant, but Zhou Xuan didn't care and walked inside with a laugh.
Zhang Lei sighed, "When are you going to be able to live up to my expectations? I earn hundreds of thousands a month and it's not enough for you to spend."
The two continued their act, laughing and joking as they walked inside. Since they wanted to have some fun, they naturally wouldn't book a private room, but would go directly to the dance hall.
The hall was somewhat dark, filled with dazzling, spinning lights, deafening music, clinking glasses, shouts, and flirtatious banter—it was utter chaos.
Zhou Xuan and Zhang Lei walked forward through the cleared narrow passage and found a table in the corner to sit down. A waitress from the nightclub came over and asked what kind of drinks they wanted.
Zhou Xuan didn't want to use his supernatural ability to transform; he genuinely wanted to get drunk. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Bring me the most expensive and best wine, just fill this table with it."
