Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Help Me Take It Off
Hearing she needed his help, Liu Zheng was overjoyed and rushed over immediately.
He reached out to help Liu Suqiu button up the back of her dress.
In the process, however, Liu Zheng naturally couldn’t resist caressing Liu Suqiu’s smooth, creamy back.
As for Liu Suqiu, she felt the impropriety of his touch.
But she didn’t react much, seemingly because she had grown accustomed to Liu Zheng’s liberties; such back caressing didn’t seem like much anymore, right?
After getting dressed, Liu Suqiu followed Liu Zheng out of the hotel.
Standing outside the hotel, she was finally wide awake.
After getting in the electric tricycle, she couldn’t help but ask, "Liu Zheng, when you said you’d take me to make some money, where exactly are we going?"
"You’ll find out soon enough!"
After saying that, Liu Zheng immediately started up the electric tricycle and headed straight for the factory he had contacted in advance.
Upon arrival, Liu Zheng got off the tricycle, while Liu Suqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"This... Didn’t you say you were selling mats? Why have we come to a carving factory?"
Seeing her puzzled look, Liu Zheng grinned showing his teeth and shook his head, "Don’t worry, you’ll understand soon."
While speaking, he had already entered the factory and soon came out lugging a trolley full of suitcases.
Watching Liu Zheng pulling this trolley loaded with suitcases, Liu Suqiu was completely baffled.
She wanted to go over and see what Liu Zheng was up to.
But.
Just as she was about to check, Liu Zheng stopped her.
"Su Qiu, don’t look for now, we have serious business to take care of; let’s not waste any more time."
Blocked by Liu Zheng, Liu Suqiu was a bit peeved, but she forcibly suppressed her curiosity and didn’t insist on checking the suitcases he was pulling.
Liu Zheng quickly started up the vehicle, and soon they arrived at an elderly activity center.
After the tricycle stopped, Liu Suqiu saw where they had come to and her expression changed abruptly.
She looked at the building in front of her, then at Liu Zheng, and said very earnestly, "Liu Zheng, are you here to swindle money from these elderly people? If that’s the case, don’t you dare blame me for never paying you any attention in the future."
From her demeanor, she seemed to regard Liu Zheng as a swindler who targeted the money of old men and women.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but smile wryly and hurriedly shook his head, "No no no, Su Qiu, aren’t you overthinking things? How could I possibly be that kind of swindler?"
"I could never do such a thing as cheating the elderly, and while others might misunderstand me, you surely cannot!"
As he spoke, he also looked around at the environment and then continued, "All right, just follow me steadily, I guarantee it won’t be like what you’re imagining."
After he finished speaking, he raised his voice to the surroundings, "Elders, grandpas, and grandmas, hello there!"
"Everyone, come and take a look, have a look!"
With his call, people immediately cast their gazes over.
Among those looking on, one person’s face held a sneer.
This wasn’t just anybody, it was the blond Bin brother who had followed them the whole way.
He was hiding in a dark corner at that moment, watching Liu Zheng with a scoff of disdain curling at the corner of his lips.
He pulled out his phone and made a call directly.
"Hey! Young Master Huang, I’m following Liu Zheng to the elderly activity center right now. It’s... the Hua De Elderly Center. Yes, I followed Liu Zheng here."
"Him? He seems to be planning to con these old men and women into buying his overpriced mats."
Upon hearing the report from Brother Huang Maobin, Huang Mingze was overjoyed.
"Good, I got it. Keep an eye on him and don’t let him out of your sight," he said.
After hanging up the phone, he got up, got into his car, and drove straight to Renxin Hall.
Upon arriving at Renxin Hall, he went to look for Qin Wanru right away.
After finding Qin Wanru, he appeared quite excited, grabbed her arm, and said, "Wan Ru, come with me, I’ll take you to watch a good show."
In Qin Wanru’s eyes, Huang Mingze was never a good person.
So she never showed him a friendly face.
"I’m not interested, and I don’t want to go watch any drama with you."
With that, Qin Wanru turned and walked away, ignoring Huang Mingze beside her.
Seeing her unwilling to pay attention to him, Huang Mingze didn’t get angry but chuckled and said, "Wan Ru ah! You don’t know, that kid said yesterday that he could sell those mats. But to my surprise, today he actually went to the old age center and took those mats there, fooling those old men and old ladies into buying them."
Qin Wanru felt a jolt in her heart upon hearing Huang Mingze’s words.
If Liu Zheng really did that, wouldn’t his character be utterly despicable?
However, Qin Wanru immediately dismissed the thought from her mind just as quickly as it had appeared.
She chose to believe in Liu Zheng, as she felt she could never misjudge someone.
"That’s not possible, Liu Zheng is definitely not like what you described," she said.
Seeing that Qin Wanru refused to believe him, Huang Mingze felt annoyed inside, but kept a calm face.
He smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "Wan Ru, how many days have you known Liu Zheng? You should know, appearances can deceive, but you can’t know the heart. Just a few short days, and you think you can really understand his character?"
"I’ve been his classmate. What kind of person he is, wouldn’t I know better than you? So come with me, I guarantee you a very exciting drama to watch."
Listening to Huang Mingze, Qin Wanru frowned in thought.
She didn’t doubt Liu Zheng, but Huang Mingze’s words made some sense.
After all, since she hadn’t known Liu Zheng for long, she didn’t fully understand what kind of person he really was.
After thinking, Qin Wanru finally nodded.
"Fine, I’ll go with you, to see what kind of person Liu Zheng is," she said.
Since Qin Wanru had agreed, the two of them set out immediately and drove to the senior activity center.
As the car drew near, they got out of the vehicle.
Upon exiting the car, they saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the senior activity center.
Looking at the age of these people, they all seemed to be over sixty.
Seeing this scene, Huang Mingze couldn’t help but curl his lips into a cold smile, turned his head toward Qin Wanru, and said, "See? Liu Zheng, the kid talks sweetly, but he’s actually full of crafty ideas, and now he’s come here to deceive these old men and women."
He pointed at the crowd and said with great conviction, "Who knows how many old people have been cheated by now, it’s really detestable!"
Hearing Huang Mingze’s words, Qin Wanru’s expression also darkened.
She hadn’t expected Liu Zheng to bring those mats to sell at the old age center.
With a stern face, she walked towards the crowd.
Seeing her unhappy face, Huang Mingze quickly followed her.
Of course, he wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity.
How could he let Liu Zheng have it easy under these circumstances?
Moreover, now he could proudly expose Liu Zheng and let his true nature be revealed in front of Qin Wanru, how great would that be?
