Chapter 40 Investment

Vicas Hotel.

Liu Qi had just pushed open the door and entered. Just as she was about to greet Lan Lan, who was pouring water, she saw another man sitting on the sofa.

He was wearing a white hoodie, khaki pants, and he had a schoolboy haircut. He was a more outgoing version of Shen Nanxiao!

“Wretched girl?” Shen Zijing was a little surprised. Why was Liu Qi here?! She was living with his brother?

He thought that was impossible, unless Liu Qi was seriously ill!

Liu Qi was certain the moment he opened his mouth. He was Shen Zijing without a doubt.

Liu Qi didn’t know how to respond to him. Shen Zijing had called her a wretched girl since she was young. Of course, she didn’t stand on ceremony and kept calling him a hanged ghost.

However, she felt that it wasn’t appropriate to call him that, so she simply called him smarty pants.

Seeing Shen Zijing’s surprised look, Liu Qi secretly rolled her eyes. She didn’t say anything and walked in. Behind her was Shen Nanxiao.

Unlike Shen Zijing, Shen Nanxiao was mature and level headed. His side-parted hairstyle made him appear unapproachable.

“What did you just call her?” Shen Nanxiao glanced at Shen Zijing coldly.

Sensing that his big brother was angry, Shen Zijing quickly apologized, “… Bro, I was wrong.”

He just called it out in a moment of surprise.

“Apologize to her.”

Shen Nanxiao walked straight in. He still had that sense of oppression. In the Shen family, Shen Zijing had the least say.

Where there was oppression, there was resistance. However, it was pointless. “Sister-in-law, I was wrong!” Shen Zijing’s feeble apology didn’t have any sincerity.

He hadn’t forgotten that the last time Shen Nanxiao came to him for a drink because of Liu Qi, he was the one who paid the bill in the end! He didn’t have much money to begin with..

Liu Qi took the warm water that Lan Lan poured for her and drank a mouthful. Then, she said pretentiously, “It’s okay. As his sister-in-law, how can I lower myself to the level of a child like him?”

Tsk! Shen Zijing turned his head away with some disdain.

Wait!

What did she just say? Shen Zijing frowned slightly and stared at Liu Qi. If he didn’t hear wrongly, this wretched girl just called herself his sister-in-law, right?

“Why are you here?” Shen Nanxiao sat on the sofa, and Lan Lan brought over the hand-ground coffee.

Shen Zijing only turned around after being asked this question. He had almost forgotten about the serious matter.

“Bro, I don’t have any money. Why don’t you give me some?”

A grown man acting coquettishly and pitifully was quite disgusting.

Shen Nanxiao put down the coffee cup and finally looked at his younger brother. He asked in return, “Who was the one who said…”

Without waiting for Shen Nanxiao to finish speaking, Liu Qi imitated in a lively manner, “I, Shen Zijing, don’t want the Shen family’s money anymore today! Even if I die outside, I don’t want you to collect my corpse!”

Hearing Liu Qi’s imitation, Shen Zijing was stunned and immediately blurted out, “How did you know?”

How strange! How did this wretched girl know about him? Then, he instantly understood and looked at his brother.

However, Shen Nanxiao didn’t seem to be surprised.

This time, it was Liu Qi’s turn to be embarrassed. For a moment, she didn’t know how to explain it. This was something that Shen Zijing personally said when he came to borrow money from her in her previous life… at that time, she was already married to Nangong Shu..

“I… I heard it from your brother!” Liu Qi threw Shen Nanxiao under the bus, then lowered her head and quietly drank the water.

“Why are you such a blabbermouth? You tell her everything! You weren’t like this in the

past!”

“Huh?” Shen Nanxiao didn’t deny it, and accepted the blame that Liu Qi placed on him.

Shen Zijing wanted to make a fuss, but he suddenly felt that he had gone too far! He immediately went back to the topic at hand. “Bro, why don’t you invest in me a little? I’ve been scammed by someone. I want to start over.”

“I’m also a member of the Shen family.”

Shen Nanxiao was obviously against his younger brother’s request.

Seeing that Shen Zijing was at his wits end, Liu Qi pursed her lips into a smile. Actually, Shen Zijing had really made a name for himself. It would be better to help him out and have a stake in his business. to make money.

She looked at Shen Zijing and said with a smile, “Call me sister-in-law, then I’ll help you beg your brother. How about it?”

“Sister-in-law.”

Shen Zijing called out obediently. Although he was very reluctant, he had to adapt to the circumstances!

He knew that even if Liu Qi wanted the moon, his brother would be willing to help her pluck

“Ahem!” Liu Qi almost choked on her water. How could this child be so adaptable?

However, Shen Nanxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to see how this girl would beg him.

When she met Shen Nanxiao’s cold eyes, Liu Qi was a little scared again. What if Shen Nanxiao didn’t give in to her?

“Hehe… Shen Nanxiao, please help him. This child has been smart ever since he was young. It won’t be a loss to invest.”

Of course, she couldn’t persuade Shen Nanxiao just by talking. She walked to the man and sat in his arms without caring that there was someone else there. She said in a gentle voice, “Please, Shen Nanxiao.”

“No! Get off!” Shen Nanxiao sounded… a little angry.

Shen Zijing, who was standing on the side, thought to himself, she screwed up.

However, Liu Qi didn’t have the intention to get off. Instead, she snuggled in the man’s arms. She turned to Shen Zijing and said, “It’s done. Go back and wait for the payment.”

How was it done? Shen Zijing didn’t see his brother agree at all.

However, Shen Nanxiao didn’t deny it. So what if he gave in to his little girl?

Shen Zijing hurriedly said, “Thank you, bro. But there’s one more thing. Bro, I don’t have a place to stay. I was just chased out by the landlord.”

Shen Zijing spoke very quickly.

Sure enough, Liu Qi saw the suitcase at the side.

She thought about it and then said generously, “You can stay in the second bedroom. I’ll sleep with your brother tonight.” As she spoke, she winked at him to hurry over.

“Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you!” Shen Zijing naturally understood what Liu Qi meant. He quickly pulled his suitcase and ran to the second bedroom.

This was great. She could sleep with Shen Nanxiao openly tonight.

“Are you sure you want to sleep with me?” Shen Nanxiao stared at the girl in his arms. He squeezed out these words from between his teeth. Sometimes, he really wanted to do her right then and there.

However, Liu Qi didn’t notice anything strange. It was so good for them to sleep together. She wouldn’t be afraid of having nightmares in the middle of the night and she could sleep soundly.

“What’s wrong? Can’t I?”

Looking at the little girl’s self-righteous expression, he felt a little helpless. He didn’t say anything more and only said, “Okay, I have a meeting later. I’ll come back later.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

After Shen Nanxiao left, Shen Zijing also ran out of the room. He clapped at Liu Qi and shook his head. “Wretched girl, you really have my brother under your thumb.”

Then, Shen Zijing asked again, “You don’t like Nangong Shu again?”

Lan Lan was stunned when she heard this. How could the second young master dare to say that? Fortunately, the oldest young master wasn’t here.

Liu Qi threatened fiercely, “Smarty pants, listen to me. If you dare to mention him again in the future, investment is out of the question!”

When he heard that investment was out of the question, he quickly changed his words. “Fine, I won’t say it. But let me tell you, my brother is loyal enough to you. If you fail my brother again, I will cut ties with you.”

“I won’t.” Speaking up to this point, Liu Qi felt a little guilty. She had really let Shen Nanxiao down in the past.

When he saw Liu Qi looking down with a sad expression and looking like she was about to cry, Shen Zijing immediately said in a panic, “Hey! Don’t cry. I was just saying that as a joke! I didn’t bully you!”

“I wasn’t crying!” Liu Qi immediately retorted.

Then, she thought of something and had an idea. She said, “Smarty pants, how about I make a deal with you?”

Shen Zijing’s face stiffened. He looked at Liu Qi with a guarded expression. With confusion, he asked, “What?!”
