Chapter 16: The Play is Over

re lined up in front of the Li Jing Hotel.A woman stepped out of a light-colored luxury car.The moment he got off the vehicle, even the bodyguard who led the way was left speechless.Those beautiful ey...This floor of the club only received VIP guests. The restroom was empty. Jiang Mingzhu stopped in front of the sink, and from the mirror, she saw her bloodshot eyes and the hatred and disgust churning in her pupils.

The red nails dug into the sink, but the body was trembling uncontrollably.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself that way, but it was of little use.

Warm liquid fell onto her cheek, sliding slowly down to disappear at the corner of her lips.

No, you can't cry anymore.

Jiang Mingzhu squeezed her own thigh hard, the piercing pain gradually clearing up the confusion in her mind. She gasped and opened her eyes.

Seeing the man in the mirror, Jiang Mingzhu's body froze completely.

She didn't know when Zhou Li came from, she only knew that she had no interest in dealing with him right now.

Jiang Mingzhu loosened her grip, didn't speak a word, and tried to walk around Zhou Li to leave, but he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back.

Jiang Mingzhu was pressed against the sink by Zhou Li. He remained as cold as ever, his gaze fixed on her swollen eyes, an air of inquiry hanging about him.

He noticed that Ginger Mingzhu's eyes were off when they were in the private room just now.

He came out with her, wanting to warn her not to be naughty.

To my surprise, when I went to the restroom, I saw her crying in front of the sink. She was shaking and pinching herself hard.

"Let go." Jiang Mingzhu tried to break free, but found that her own voice was hoarse.

Zhou Li grabbed her chin, "Are you feeling unwell"

As soon as the question was posed, he saw a glimmer of surprise flash across her eyes, which had been dull and lifeless moments before. It vanished in an instant.

Ginger Mingzhu was full of anticipation and asked him with red eyes, "Brother, are you worried about me"

Here we go again.

She can change her face faster than she flips through a book.

Zhou Li instantly regretted his feelings of pity for her. He let go of her and turned to leave.

Jiang Mingzhu hugged him from behind, trembling and pleading, "Brother, don't go."

Zhou Li lowered his head and saw the blood on her hand, "You're hurt"

Ginger Mingzhu didn't answer, and taking advantage of his struggle, she hugged him even tighter.

Zhou Li: "Where are you hurt"

Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhou Li turned her around and without a word, he picked her up and carried her to the washstand. He lifted her skirt, successfully seeing the wound on her thigh.

This is fresh blood from a wound she just inflicted on herself, still flowing out, staining her stockings red.

Jiang Mingzhu tried to pull down the hem of her skirt, but Zhou Li stopped her. She cried, "Don't look!"

Zhou Li asked her, "Is this also acting"

Ginger Mingzhu: “What”

"You think you can predict me and I'll just come out and play the victim"

Jiang Mingzhu didn't deny it: "Did your brother feel sorry for you"

Zhou Li looked at her coldly, his eyes already saying it all.

Ginger Mingzhu let out a self-deprecating smile and choked back tears, saying: "I wasn't acting, I just saw how good you were to her, and I felt very sad. If you treated me half as well as you treat her, I would be content..."

Her voice was hoarse, her eyes red. She sounded humble and pitiful, like a beggar in love.

Zhou Li remained unmoved, "The play is over."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Brother, I'm really not acting. I like you. Am I not as good as her"

Zhou Li left again, her questions unanswered.

Ginger Mingzhu turned and went to the restroom for a while before returning to the private room.

When Zhan Yu Bai saw her return, he cared, "Ginger Assist, where are you uncomfortable"

Ginger Mingzhu: "I don't feel well in my stomach and vomited a little."

Because Ginger Mingzhu said her stomach was uncomfortable, after the event ended, Zhan Yubai suggested Zhou Li send Ginger Mingzhu back.

Ginger Mingzhu without hesitation refused: "No need, I'll just take a taxi."

No matter how Jane spoke, Ginger refused to let them send her off. In the end, she called a Didi and left.

Jan Yubai watched Jiang Mingzhu get into the car, smiling at Zhou Li and saying, "No wonder Yanqing likes her, if I were a man, I would like her too."

I don't have an opinion on the Zhouli.

Jen Yu-bai said jokingly, "I'm afraid to even put her by your side."

Zhou Li heard Jian Yu Bai's probing and said calmly, "Si Yan has already gone to investigate her."

Friday night, Xu Sichen sent Jiang Mingzhu's information to Zhou Li's house.

Two people arrived at the study, where the table was piled high with photos and documents.

Xu Siyan introduced Zhou Li to the types of data in each file bag. Zhou Li randomly opened one, and inside was a stack of photos.

The photos inn't saying that. 。"Ginger Mingzhu smiled sweetly, reminiscing for him, "That day when I called you brother, you were so excited." 。"Zhou Li's grip tightened, his eyes churning with a storm: "Have you...
