Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 172 - 172 172 The Astonishing Numbers on the Timer

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Astonishing Numbers on the Timer Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Astonishing Numbers on the Timer He Zizhou and Liang Tian’s lips twitched.

Luo Xinyi’s face went deathly pale, feeling cold from head to toe.

Just now she thought Jiang Zhe was going to compete with her for jealousy and was secretly pleased with herself.

Now, seeing how Qin Jingchen was at her beck and call, did Jiang Zhe have any need for that?

The hammers seemed to strike her heart with heavy blows, sweeping away her dignity and face together.

Seeing that Qin Jingchen had almost finished smashing, Liang Tian knew it was his motorcycle’s turn.

Forget it, forget it, I’ll buy another one next time.

He Zizhou also had a face prepared for death.

They heard Jiang Zhe say in a detached voice, “Fen Ye, Liang Tian, He Zizhou, take your cars back.”

“Fair play, we can afford to lose this bet,” Liang Tian immediately said.

It’s just getting smashed, after all, it’s Jiang Zhe’s stuff now, she can do with it whatever she pleases.

“Next time bring better cars to the race.”

That is to say, Jiang Zhe didn’t care for these cars at all!

In the beginning, there were seven cars in total, and she was not satisfied with that number, so she smashed one of them.

After smashing one, the number was right, but there was an extra car she didn’t like, so she let Qin Jingchen continue smashing.

As a result, five cars were left.

Again an odd number.

Jiang Zhe was fed up and tired, so she simply let them take them away.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Zhe walked forward nonchalantly, moving in a cool and breezy manner.

Qin Jingchen walked out shoulder to shoulder with her.

Qin He and Qin Hai followed.

Liang Tian could hardly believe that the girl before him was a high-school student, her aura was no less formidable than Qin Jingchen’s.

When he turned back, the admiration in his eyes had turned to indifference, “Miss Luo, you are no longer welcome here.”

Luo Xinyi shuddered, knowing the magnitude of the blow of those words.

It was by relying on these people that she had managed to get close to Qin Jingchen and have the opportunity to interact with him closely.

This evening, the trick she played on Jiang Zhe had in fact taken into account the safety of everyone.

At this moment, their cold and detached attitude toward her was no more than she deserved.

After the three left, Luo Xinyi began to walk out slowly.

Her long shadow dragged across the ground, yet she still felt some dissatisfaction.

Yes, she did cheat and indeed made a mistake.

But was Jiang Zhe really that great, even capable of beating Qin Jingchen?

What’s there to be proud of in winning a race by having a man throw the game?

Thinking this way, she looked up at the race timing system.

The large timer stood at the finish line, displaying the data for first place: “5 minutes and 43.03 seconds.”

The second place, which was Qin Jingchen: “5 minutes and 43.04 seconds.”

The previous record holder for this racing event had always been Qin Jingchen himself, with a time of, 5 minutes and 43.04 seconds.

Luo Xinyi was so shocked that she froze, staring at the high-tech infrared timing system, unable to regain her composure for a long time.

After getting into the car.

Qin Jingchen took Jiang Zhe’s hand and noticed that her fingers were still icy cold.

Probably from holding the hammer, there were a few red marks that had formed.

He massaged the red marks, asking, “Where should I put the motorcycle for you?”

“Put it in my…” Jiang Zhe intended to say to put it in the room outside her school gate.

She already had one there, and adding these two would make three.

She hadn’t used the original one in a long time, so covering it with a cloth didn’t really matter whether it was an odd or even number.

But having two additional visible ones would be too conspicuous.

“Send her to Lushan Courtyard.”

“Okay.” Qin Jingchen agreed with pleasure.

Having her stay at his place rather than hers would mean Qin Jingchen could see her more often.

“Where to?” he asked.

Jiang Zhe was already very tired, and the warm environment in the car made her drowsy: “Anywhere.”

Qin Jingchen instructed Qin Hai to head to Lushan Courtyard.

After getting out of the car, the very weary Jiang Zhe immediately perked up, grabbed her backpack, and stepped out.

Qin Jing had planned to carry her back to her room in a princess carry, had even thought through the posture, but was left hanging, his outstretched hand awkwardly paused mid-air for a moment before he touched his nose and followed Jiang Zhe’s steps.

Qin He looked at Jiang Zhe with eyes full of admiration and entered first, quickly getting slippers for her: “Miss Jiang.”

“How about something to eat?” Qin Jingchen, seeing she was no longer sleepy, guessed she was probably hungry.

She hadn’t eaten much in the evening, and had been up and about for so long.

“Mmm, brocaded carp, any flavor will do.” Jiang Zhe sat down on the sofa.

Qin Jingchen, who had just rolled up his sleeves, paused for a moment; they had all kinds of vegetables ready, but no brocaded carp.

Because brocaded carp require a particularly high-quality environment to survive, they are not an ingredient that could be readily available.

Qin Hai immediately understood and whispered, “I’ll go find some.”

Then he turned and left.

Qin He had also been numbed by Qin Jingchen’s determination. It was only after Qin Hai left that he realized, was Qin ever actually cooking?

In the Qin Family’s large house, he didn’t even know which direction the kitchen door faced, and now he was cooking?

Numbed.

His phone vibrated, receiving a message from Qin Jingchen.

Upon reading it, each word conveyed an icy tone: “All hospitals are not to provide Luo Xinyi with dressing or treatment.”

Qin He received the message and immediately set to work.

Knowing that Luo Xinyi was in a bad way this time, although the Luo family had their family doctors, her facial injuries definitely required consultation with specialist doctors at major hospitals, or else she might end up with scars.

A woman’s face is her life.

But who let her disregard someone else’s life?

Jiang Zhe was engrossed in a conversation and not at all aware of what was happening here.

“Sis, the committee informed me that I’ve been selected to participate in the preliminary round of the fashion design competition! It’s in Beijing!”

“Congratulations.” Jiang Zhe smiled.

“They say after the preliminaries, there’s an opportunity to advance to the international rounds!”

“Yes.” Jiang Zhe sent a message, “Prepare well.”

“Alright, I will prepare thoroughly then.”

The person chatting with Jiang Zhe was Xun Yining, who lived at the welfare institute with Director Kang.

He was one of the few children at the institute who was well-rounded in every aspect.

Director Kang would try his best to arrange for healthy children to be adopted because family warmth is something the welfare institute can’t replace.

However, a few choose to stay for various reasons.

After finishing chatting with Xun Yining, Jiang Zhe smelled the fragrant aroma.

Qin Jingchen came over with a dish of boiled brocaded carp.

The rolled-up sleeves revealed a section of distinctly muscled forearm, with the effort of carrying the dish accentuating a few veins and a thin layer of muscle, further enhancing a sense of strength.

“It’s ready, give it a try.” Qin Jingchen handed her the chopsticks.

Qin He twitched the corners of his mouth. In the short time he hadn’t been with Qin, Qin actually learned how to cook brocaded carp. He couldn’t tell whether it was the power of love or Qin’s own genius.

Jiang Zhe then remembered she had casually mentioned wanting to eat brocaded carp when she entered the house.

The cost of buying and cooking brocaded carp at this time of night…

Yes, it was indeed high.

She picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. The flavor was quite good.
