Jiang Yao did not know how wealthy Lu Xingzhi was, but he had once told her that he had never taken a penny from his family. His paycheck was with her and that proved that his spending had nothing to do with his salary. Therefore, it was certain that Lu Xingzhi had other sources of income and it was not a small amount either.
Zhou Weiqi was Lu Xingzhi's great buddy. Now, Weiqi needed a house and Lu Xingzhi was willing to give him one. There was no reason for Jiang Yao to stop him from doing that as she knew little about their brotherhood. She knew that Lu Xingzhi was a down-to-earth man and he would not do anything beyond his capabilities. Everything that he did would have been well-planned by himself.
However...
Jiang Yao snorted in her heart. This man was beating around the bush just to hear her say I miss you'. He had even set everything up to trick both Weiqi and her. She deliberately did not want to do as he said!
"Weiqi, I did not know that your good buddy was a cunning fox. However, you should just tell me if you want Xingzhi's house. Pass the phone back to him and I will ask him to give it to you. He will listen to me!" Jiang Yao was flattered. She would be a kind and generous person! Hmph, that was what he got for tricking her!
"Fox..." Weiqi quietly took a glance at the fox that was smoking at the door. Oh wait, it was Xingzhi. He then talked to Jiang Yao who was on the phone, "Jiang Yao, are you serious about that?"
"Do you trust me?" Jiang Yao asked him back full of confidence. Lu Xingzhi was planning to give him the house anyway, so he would not say no if she asked him to.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Weiqi jumped for joy. "Once you ask, not just for a house, even if you asked for his life, he would give that to you! Who are you to him? You're his wife whom he loves and treasures the most!"
Zhou Weiqi had finally found a sense of security as if he was holding up a shield. If he had Jiang Yao on his side, there was no need for him to be afraid of Lu Xingzhi anymore!
