This floor of the club only received distinguished guests, and the bathroom was empty. Jiang Mingzhu stopped in front of the sink and saw her own red eyes in the mirror, as well as the hatred and disgust surging in her pupils.
Her red nails were digging into the sink, but her body was trembling.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down in this way, but it had little effect.
The warm liquid fell on the cheeks, slowly downwards, and disappeared into the corners of the lips.
No, I can't cry anymore.
Jiang Mingzhu pinched her thigh hard. The bone-piercing pain made her chaotic thoughts gradually clear. She gasped and opened her eyes.
Seeing the man appearing in the mirror, Jiang Mingzhu's body completely froze.
She didn't know when Zhou Li came, she only knew that she had no interest in dealing with him now.
Jiang Mingzhu let go of her hand without saying a word, and tried to walk away from Zhou Li, but he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back.
Jiang Mingzhu was pinned down on the sink by Zhou Li. He still had a cold face and his gaze stopped on her red and swollen eyes with inquiry.
Just now when he was in the box, he could see something wasn't right in Jiang Mingzhu's eyes.
He came out with her to warn her not to do anything bad.
What I didn't expect was that when I came to the bathroom, I saw her crying in front of the sink, shaking and pinching herself hard.
"Let go." Jiang Mingzhu tried to break away from him, and when she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was also hoarse.
Zhou Li pinched her chin and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
As soon as the question came out, he saw a flash of surprise flash across her originally gloomy eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Mingzhu was full of expectation and asked him with red eyes, "Does my brother care about me?"
It started again.
She flipped out faster than she could flip through a book.
Zhou Li immediately regretted his sympathy for her, let go of her, turned around and left.
Jiang Mingzhu hugged him from behind and begged tremblingly, "Brother, don't leave."
Zhou Li lowered his head and saw the blood on her hands, "Are you injured?"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't answer. Taking advantage of him not struggling, she hugged him a little tighter.
Zhou Li: "Where are you injured?"
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Zhou Li turned around, carried her onto the sink without any explanation, pushed up her skirt, and managed to see the injury on her thigh.
She had just cut it by herself, and it was still bleeding, and her stockings were stained red.
Jiang Mingzhu tried to pull down the hem of her skirt, but Zhou Li stopped her. She cried and shouted, "Don't look!"
Zhou Li asked her: "Is this also staged?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "What?"
Zhou Li: "You are sure that I will follow you out, pretending to be pitiful?"
Jiang Mingzhu did not deny it: "Is brother feeling distressed?"
Zhou Li looked at her coldly, that look said everything.
Jiang Mingzhu laughed at herself, sobbed and said: "I didn't act, I just saw you being so good to her, and I was very sad. If you were half as good to me as you were to her, I would be satisfied..."
Her voice was mute and her eyes were red. She sounded humble and pitiful, like a beggar in love.
Zhou Li was indifferent, "It's over."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Brother, I'm really not acting. I like you. Can't I be better than her?"
Zhou Li left again without getting an answer to her question.
Jiang Mingzhu turned around and went to the bathroom for a while before returning to the box.
When Zhan Yubai saw her coming back, he was concerned, "Jiang Zhu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I feel sick to my stomach and I vomited a little."
Because Jiang Mingzhu said she had an upset stomach, after the show, Zhan Yubai asked Zhou Li to take Jiang Mingzhu home.
Jiang Mingzhu refused without thinking: "No, I'll just take a taxi."
No matter what Zhan Yubai said, Jiang Mingzhu refused to let them give it away, so she finally ordered a Didi and left.
Zhan Yubai watched Jiang Mingzhu get into the car, smiled and said to Zhou Li, "No wonder Yan Qing likes her. If I were a man, I would like her too."
Zhou Li was noncommittal.
Zhan Yubai said half-jokingly, "I don't even dare to put her next to you."
Zhou Li heard Zhan Yubai's temptation and said calmly: "Si Yan has already gone to check on her."
——
On Friday night, Xu Siyan sent Jiang Mingzhu's information to Zhou Li's home.
The two came to the study room, and the table was filled with photos and documents.
Xu Siyan introduced the types of information in each document bag to Zhou Li. Zhou Li opened one at random and found a stack of photos inside.
This is a photo of Jiang Mingzhu attending an event at university. She was a little younger then than she is now, and her facial features have not changed.
Zhou Li stared at the photo and asked Xu Siyan, "Is there anything suspicious?"
"Yes." Xu Siyan found a photo and handed it to him, "Look at this." This chapter has been completed!
