Chapter 495: Chapter 496: Rain Curtain (4)


    Thus, she might be rted to Qin Zhiyou’s mother’s side of the family, which would mean she has no blood ties with Qin Zhigu.


    Lu Weixi’s words baffled the crowd. She went on, “You say I’m relying on the Qin Family’s influence. Yes, it’s true they forwarded my application, and only then could I get this project. What’s next? You want to take the project from me? On what grounds? Your own capabilities, or your own connections?”


    “I…” Alright, in real estate, having influential connections is key – a universally known truth that bears no criticism. Though Lu Weixi did rely on the Qin family to forward her application, her own abilities were undeniable. One only had to look at her designs to know there was no deceit involved.


    “Why don’t you ask Qin Zhigu whether I am a rtive of Qin Zhiyou? Whether our rtionship is legitimate or a shameful secret, as you all suggest?”


    Her fiery retort left the other party speechless.


    “Tomorrow, I hope not to see you here again. You should leave.” With this final remark from Lu Weixi, she grandly took Qin Zhiyou’s arm, turned around, and walked into the pouring rain.


    If Lu Weixi is rted to Qin Zhiyou, it’s no wonder she has always had disdain for those erratic men and keeps a respectful distance from Qin Zhigu – considering the well-known infighting among the affluent Qin family, and the clear discord between the brothers.


    No wonder she despises Liu Yiyi so much and loathes her casual spections about her rtionship with Qin Zhiyou. As rtives, their rtionship would naturally be different.


    Lu Weixi’s biting words left her opponents dumbstruck, and they had no choice but to leave in shambles. As they turned around, Qin Zhiyou was instantly displeased. He sneered, “Rtives? Close rtives? Is that all we are to each other?”


    Lu Weixi knew he was annoyed, smiling, she said, “Of course we’re rtives. Marriage invariably transforms a couple into rtives, don’t you know? So what else could we be?”<div>


    Caught off guard by her retort, Qin Zhiyou was silent for a moment before nodding, “You are the mother of my child, and I am the father. So, being referred to as rtives is not wrong.”


    At the mention of the child, Lu Weixi’s smile faded slightly, she turned her head, it was then she noticed that half of Qin Zhiyou’s shoulder was soaked.


    Qin Zhiyou had tilted most of the umbre towards her. So, naturally, his other arm got drenched.


    She extended a finger, gently poked the umbre rim up, hoping to tilt it a bit towards him.


    Qin Zhiyou noticed and, not wanting her to get wet, reached his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, despite the downpour and the small umbre.


    With her head bowed, looking at the rain under her feet, Lu Weixi asked, “Why did youe today? I thought you weren’t returning until the day after tomorrow.”


    “The negotiations are mostly done, so naturally, I want to keep them hanging. I’m in the driver’s seat now; otherse begging to me.” As Qin Zhiyou spoke, he moved closer to her, whispering into her ear, “Besides, I’ve timed it, your period is over, of course, I have toe back as soon as possible.”


    Just as she suspected, this jerk always had ulterior motives. As expected, he couldn’t go three sentences without returning to his main point.


    As they got into her car, Secretary Wang was there as well, so Qin Zhiyou discontinued his distastefulments.


    However, as the car pulled away, Xiaochen from afar thought that the vehicle looked vaguely familiar. But surely, there shouldn’t be any connection between Secretary Wang and Qin Zhiyou, right…?
