Fleeting Fortune: A Pampered Life

Capitulo 604: 384 Love Makes Fools of Us All, A Strange Wind Blows in Beijing (3 More Updates)

The wristwatch had a counter in Beijing, and Shen Shuci took her lunch break the next day to specifically bring

the watch in for service, not expecting the old master to take her watch, look at her several times, and ask,

“Miss, what's your relationship with Mr. Huo?”

“Huh?” Shen Shuci was taken aback.

“This watch is a limited edition, long out of production. In Beijing, only a few people wear this model and they

bring it in regularly for maintenance. Mr. Huo has changed the band on this one, | recognize it.”

“He's my friend.”

“The watch isn’t cheap, and he usually wears it close to himself, personally bringing it for service. To entrust it to

you, you must be more than just friends, his girlfriend?” The old master asked with a smile.

“No, no!” Shen Shuci quickly denied.

“Mr. Huo is a good person, he’s been wearing the watch for many years. He might look a bit unapproachable, but

he’s very loyal. When it comes to relationships, all you need is reliability, Mr. Huo thinks there’s nothing to

fault...”

Shen Shuci gave a small cough, not sure how to continue the conversation.

Meanwhile, Qi Zeyan was at the Huo Family's backyard, riding a horse, taking a couple of laps around Green

Plum Garden before dismounting. Before doing anything else, he took a cloth and wiped his shoes several times.

Not until there was not a speck of dust left did he smile contentedly.

The Huo Family watched him, speechless. He didn’t have OCD, but he was unusually strict about the cleanliness

of his shoes.

When Qi Zeyan entered the living room, he saw someone sitting there, staring at a tablet. He walked behind that

person and saw they were playing Minesweeper without much concern.

As he twisted open a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, he suddenly heard the person playing Minesweeper

let out a low laugh.

“Phew—" Qi Zeyan was startled.

Playing Minesweeper could make oneself laugh?

“Old Huo, are you alright?”

“What could be wrong with me?”

“Ever since you cback yesterday, you've been a bit...” abnormal.

For no apparent reason, he would chuckle twice.

Just went out and met Shen Shuci, what's with him coming back all weird?

As he drank, he thought about all the childish things Jiang Jinsang did after falling in love, slightly frowning. Could

it be that people in love really becfoolish?

Especially these few around him, really each one sillier than the last!

Can falling in love be better than making money?

Huo Qingi couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of Shen Shuci’s expression as she accidentally

knocked her watch on the table—that startled, astonished, and eventually annoyed look on her face,

downtrodden as if frosted eggplant, completely wilted and somewhat pitifully aggrieved when she looked at

him...

She certainly didn’t realize how many different expressions crossed her face in just a few seconds.

He suddenly thought about the orange cat on Shen Shuci’s phone screen.

He wanted to pet her head.

“Zeyan.”

“Hmm?” Qi Zeyan was still drinking water.

“What exactly does being in love feel like?”

Qi Zeyan was about to speak when he saw him giving a faint glance, “I shouldnt have asked you, | forgot you've

never been in love.”

“I...” Qi Zeyan, holding the water bottle, wished he could smack it on the other person's forehead.

“Do you know where in Beijing | can buy a cat?”

“You have two wolfhounds at your place, and you want to keep a cat?” The Huo Family had two fierce guard

dogs, recently always chained in the backyard, capable of knocking down a grown man with a leap.

“Is there a problem?”

“I don’t know, I'll ask around for you,” Qi Zeyan clicked his tongue helplessly. He really couldn't imagine, with his

burly frame, holding a cat—how discordant that image would be.

While he was asking around for a place to buy a cat, a call cin, “Hello, Jiang Xiaowu.”

“You're askingout for a drink? That's rare.” The Jiang Family had been busy preparing for Jiang Yanting’s

wedding banquet, and everyone was swamped, even the strapping man Jiang Chengsi had been drafted for the

cause. Qi Zeyan thus hadn't visited them, to avoid adding chaos.

“Coming out?” Jiang Jinsang said with a laugh.

“You and your sister-in-law’s situation, it’s still stirring up the web. Did you cup with a solution, or are you

planning to give it the cold shoulder?”

“I've thought of something.”

“Where do we meet?” Qi Zeyan, bored to death at the Huo residence - aside from a few horses, a grove of trees,

and a few wooden stakes, it was dull and tedious - couldn't stay put any longer.

“In the private club of your fourth brother, it's more discreet there.”

After Qi Zeyan agreed, he glanced at Huo Qingi, “Old Huo? Xiaowu's treating, want to go out and meet up?”

“I'm not going.”

“You really are no fun.”

“Aren’t you afraid it’s a trap, meeting him at this time?”

“What could he possibly plot againstfor? Besides, with the sister-in-law’s scandal, I'm also a victim. Maybe

he just feels sorry and wants to treatto a meal. You have no idea, because of this mess, all sorts of agencies

and media have been bombarding me. Lucky I've been able to hide out here with you...”

As Qi Zeyan spoke, he even changed into a new set of clothes, combed his hair into a fashionable side part

slicked with pomade, and before leaving, he polished his shoes several times.

“Old Huo, you're really not going?”

Huo Qingi shook his head.

Humming a tune, Qi Zeyan fiddled with his car keys, worried about being recognized driving his own car to Jiang

Chengsi’s club, he even borrowed a car from the Huo Family.

Even though he tried to keep a low profile, both with his attire and the car, he wasn’t someone who could ever

really be unnoticed. As soon as he arrived at the club’s entrance, the news got out.

By the the entered the private room, there was already similar news online.

[Young Master Qi drives into Fourth Master's club.]

And the media's report read, “Qi Zeyan, who had not been seen for several days and could not be reached by

various medias, was spotted today at Jiang Chengsi’s club, driving a car that wasn’t his own.”

The comments were hilarious:

“No wonder no one could find him for so many days, turns out he was hiding out with Fourth Master.”

“He didn’t even drive his own car, he’s clearly trying to avoid detection, typical ‘the innocent has no fear of the

night.”

“Suddenly it feels kind of sweet.”

Qi Zeyan saw the news and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “What is this nonsense? How do these people

not write fiction? They received the news too fast. | just got here and the news is already out.”

“You've been staying at Old Huo’s place?” Jiang Jinsang, in the photo, could recognize the car though others

could not.

Before, Qi Zeyan thought he'd never be the type to enjoy gossip, but now he had his own mess to deal with, and

it was all thorny and toxic.

He had thought about keeping Jiang Jinsang in the dark, which didn’t seem fair, but ever since he found out that

Jiang Shiyi was also in the spit, somehow he felt perfectly justified.

Even your blood brother keeps things from you, so this is nothing on my part...

Anyway, if something happens in the future, Jiang Shiyi will be at the front to take the fall.

But he forgot that the Jiangs all naturally have a devilish streak, and Jiang Shiyi is the very model of ‘wolf in

sheep's clothing’. Using him as a shield? Good luck with that.

“You sound like you haven't had an easy tlately.”

Qi Zeyan was still quite playful, and how dull it was at the Huo Family’s place was something Jiang Jinsang was

well aware of.

“So you invitedto drink specially? Nice brotherhood,” Qi Zeyan said, unabashedly opening a bottle of wine,

“This wine isn’t cheap, ah, | won't stand on ceremony then.”

“I invited you here to drink,” Jiang Jinsang said, twirling a finger.

Qi Zeyan had just finished a glass when Jiang Jinsang said in a low voice, “I need a favor from you.”

“You say...”

Five minutes later...

Standing at the door, Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu heard a roar from inside!
