It wasn’t that Jian Jin didn’t see Qiao Nian’s message. Instead, she read the message immediately after Qiao Nian sent it.
However, after reading the message, Jian Jin’s expression became complicated and depressed. She didn’t reply for now.
Only the sound of pens scratching could be heard in the huge office on the top floor.
Jian Jin stared at her cell phone. After a long time, she took a deep breath, put the phone away, and looked at the man behind the desk.
“Qiao has asked me.”
The man sitting behind the black and dull desk looked outstanding. His aura wasn’t inferior to Ye Wangchuan’s, and he had a fragile beauty.
Compared to Ye Wangchuan’s arrogance, he looked more gentle.
Unfortunately, it was just his appearance.
Lu Zhi wasn’t gentle at all. Instead, he was the other extreme of gentleness—extremely cruel.
The pen stopped when he heard the word ‘Qiao’. He only paused for a few seconds before going back to the documents. It was as if he didn’t care about her. “She’s asking you, not me.”
Look at what he was saying!
If not for growing up with him, Jian Jin wouldn’t have been able to tell he was interested in the girl.
Jian Jin tried her best to sound calm as she spoke. “Qiao will definitely be sad if she finds out about Ji Lingfeng’s situation.”
Lu Zhi put down his pen and looked up at her expressionlessly. His smile was gone, and he looked as cold as he could. “Does it have anything to do with me?”
Jian Jin choked on her words and took a deep breath before continuing. “You’re not going to help?”
Sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Zhi placed his hands quietly on his knees. A blanket covered his legs, which were practically dead.
He lowered his eyelashes and gripped the blanket until the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as if he was restraining himself. “She’ll come to me for help if she really can’t hold on.”
“…”
Jian Jin didn’t know how to criticize him. She asked speechlessly, “Do you think with Qiao’s personality, she would ask you for help?”
With Qiao Nian’s personality, even if she caused a ruckus with Nie Qingru… she probably would not ask the Boss for help. But he didn’t even consider that.
The point was—Qiao wasn’t like that!
In this aspect, Boss’s rival understood much more than him. He never did such things.
However, because Boss was physically disabled, his personality became twisted and stubborn in this aspect. He was stubborn to the end.
“Why do you insist on Qiao asking for your help?” Jian Jin really couldn’t understand this.
Lu Zhi did not answer her. He said the same thing, “If she really needs my help, she’ll tell me herself.”
He refused to cooperate, and Jian Jin couldn’t do anything to him. She could only hold her anger inside, with nowhere to vent it.
Lu Zhi brought up something else at this moment. “By the way, the person I got you to keep an eye on… has she made a move?”
Jian Jin was always focused when it came to serious matters. She blinked before remembering who Lu Zhi was talking about, then immediately said, “Not yet.”
“Then continue keeping an eye on her.” Lu Zhi smiled. He looked so refined and gentle, but he was cold and cruel in his bones. His smile did not reach his eyes at all. He crossed his hands on his lap and slowly said, “You have to be patient if you want to catch prey. You can’t alert the enemy.”
