Chapter 605: 312 Eagle (First Update)

Zhao Qin arrived at the entrance of the residential area only to realize she couldn’t get in.

She called Ming Jing, but her phone was off.

She waited at the entrance for a long time, from sunset to moonrise, without seeing Ming Jing’s shadow or her car coming in or out.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a taxi stop on the opposite side of the road, and a tall, erect man bent over and got out of the car.

The man was dressed in a disguise, crossing the road towards her. He was tall and slim, quite eye-catching.

Zhao Qin recognized him at a glance.

Qu Feitai.

Doing the math, he must have just arrived from Jingzhou after watching the news.

Qu Feitai rushed back immediately after getting off the plane, and just as he was about to enter the residential area, a suddenly appearing figure blocked his way.

Qu Feitai frowned at the person blocking him, a cold glint passing through the depths of his eyes.

She showed up again before settling accounts from the last encounter at the karaoke place.

“Qu Feitai, I know you like Ming Jing, and I can help you. How about we make a deal?” Zhao Qin went straight to the point.

“With Ming Jing’s personality, even if you chase her for a lifetime, she wouldn’t turn around to give you a glance.”

It hurt, but it was the truth.

Qu Feitai raised an eyebrow: “Oh? And how do you plan to help me?”

“I have my ways. You might not know, but there’s a young man named Xi Yu who has an extraordinary relationship with Ming Jing, a relationship you can never match.”

Qu Feitai laughed, his gaze on Zhao Qin filled with mocking understanding.

Zhao Qin furrowed her brows and coughed awkwardly, “Opportunities are seized by those who are prepared. Once this chance is gone, there won’t be another one.”

Qu Feitai slightly lifted his chin, his jawline smooth and clear, the young bone structure and stubble exuding a sexy vibe. In the cold night, his sudden appearance made one’s heart skip a beat.

“So, what do you want me to do for you?”

Zhao Qin looked at him earnestly, “Ming Jing is injured, and I can’t contact her. As a friend, I’m worried. Can you take me in? As for the rest, we can talk about it later.”

Instead, Zhao Qin waited for a mocking laugh from the young man.

“For someone who claims to be Ming Jing’s friend, but can’t even enter her home, what kind of friend are you? As a friend, you’re betraying her wishes by helping another man pursue her without knowing him at all? You don’t care about the harm that man could bring her. Is this how you define a friendship with Ming Jing?”

Zhao Qin’s face changed, “You…”

“What does it matter to you whether I like Ming Jing or not? Do you really think anyone needs your scheming and lowly tactics? It’s insulting to think anyone else is a fool.”

He left with that, “Oh, by the way, stay away from Ming Jing in the future. She doesn’t need friends like you.”

The young man waved without looking back and swiped his card to enter the residential area.

Stomping her foot in anger, Zhao Qin vowed, “Qu Feitai, you’ll regret it one day.”

—

—Xiao Fei, where the hell have you been? Look at the mess you made online, it’s infuriating.

Upon opening the WeChat voice message, Huang Chao’s loud voice came out, and Qu Feitai quickly moved his phone away from his ear.

He replied via text — I’m out to do something, I’ll be back in a few days.

The elevator arrived, and Qu Feitai put his phone in his pocket, stepping out.

He walked to Ming Jing’s door, hesitated for a long time, and finally retracted his raised hand. He pressed his ear against the door for quite a while, but heard nothing.

In the end, he let out a sigh and turned to heading back to his own apartment across the hallway.

Just then, the elevator door opened, and Qu Feitai froze for a moment before suddenly looking up.

Besides him, the only one who lived on this floor was Ming Jing.

“Brother Qu.” Ming Chen saw him and thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He quickly ran over.Qu Feitai didn’t seem too disappointed. He smiled, rubbed Ming Chen’s head, and hurriedly asked, “How is your elder sister Ming Jing doing?”

Ming Chen snorted, “I knew Brother Qu would care the most about my elder sister. Look at how worried you are. Fine, I’ll tell you out of the kindness of my heart. She’s injured.”

Qu Feitai’s face suddenly darkened.

“But it’s just a minor injury. She’s already had it bandaged at the hospital, and she’s resting at home now. You must have come to see her specifically, right? Come on, I’ll take you home. My sister will be so happy to see you.”

Ming Ti, who had been silent on the side, suddenly coughed.

He had never seen such a presumptuous guy before. What did he mean by “my sister will definitely be happy to see her”? Was he a worm in Ming Jing’s stomach?

Qu Feitai let out a sigh of relief, “As long as she’s okay, I won’t go. Let your sister get some rest.”

Thinking of something, Qu Feitai immediately put on a serious face and asked, “During the days I wasn’t here, did you practice the piano diligently?”

Ming Chen grinned and said, “Of course, I practiced well. If Brother Qu doesn’t believe me, you can check for yourself.”

Ming Chen insisted on sticking with Qu Feitai and finally followed him to the opposite house while Ming Ti went home alone.

Han Suwen saw Ming Ti come home alone and asked, “Where’s Ming Chen?”

Ming Ti handed Han Suwen the soy sauce and said grumpily, “Next door.”

Han Suwen was stunned, “Is it Xiao Fei who’s back?”

Ming Ti nodded with a straight face.

Han Suwen rubbed her hands on her apron, “Go ask if he had dinner yet… never mind, don’t ask. He probably hasn’t eaten. I’ll make some extra food tonight. You can deliver it to him later.”

“Why should I send it to him? Who does he think he is?”

“Look at you, as a friend of your sister and Ming Chen’s piano teacher, it’s only right and proper to take care of him more.”

As Han Suwen spoke, she smeared soy sauce on the marinated yellowfish.

Ming Ti glanced in the direction of the second floor, “I wonder if my elder sister woke up yet?”

———-

“Brother Qu, your house is so big and empty. There’s nothing here.”

Qu Feitai’s house, a little smaller in size than the one across the street, was like a display room. Apart from the basic furniture, there was nothing else.

At a glance, it was empty.

Qu Feitai hadn’t spent much time living here, so he hadn’t bothered to decorate it.

Now, it seemed that he needed to buy more things since he was planning to settle in Jiangzhou for the long term.

Qu Feitai opened his phone to browse a shopping website when he saw over a dozen missed calls from Huang Chao, and another call was ringing in.

After Qu Feitai’s disguise was exposed, there were various speculations online. Now, some people have even accused him of riding on Ming Jing’s fame, making use of the negative rumors, so that the entire nation knew of his scandal with Ming Jing. Of course, most of the blame was directed at him. Ming Jing was seen as a pure white lotus, while he, a top talent in the music industry, turned into a crazy, unrequited admirer…

Although Huang Chao tried his best to manage public relations and have the news removed from trending topics, there were still too many people jealous of Qu Feitai. They further muddled the situation, and it got more and more chaotic. Huang Chao was eager to get ahold of the main culprit, his anxiety burning like a fire under his butt.

Since the afternoon, Huang Chao had been calling Qu Feitai non-stop, either his phone was off or he didn’t pick up. In just a few hours, Huang Chao became extremely frustrated, feeling that being Qu Feitai’s agent was not a job for humans – it would surely shorten his life.

“Hello, Old Huang.” Qu Feitai walked onto the open balcony. The night view of Jiangzhou was beautiful, and Qujiang river in the distance, looked like a dormant, gigantic dragon.

“Little Ancestor, are you really my ancestor? Are you in Jiangzhou again? You just left and left a mess for me to clean up.” The sound of Huang Chao grinding his teeth could be heard through the phone.

“I’m sorry. You are going to lose another few strands of hair. When I get back, I’ll buy you the best wig, and I’ll make sure you have a head full of shiny black hair.”

“Ask Ming Jing what brand her wig is, and I’ll… are we talking about wigs? Do you know how serious this is? I would call it an idol’s failure…”

Qu Feitai sneered, “An idol? Which type of idol am I? Do I rely on my face or figure to survive? Don’t try to hold me hostage with the tricks of those market idols. I got to where I am today and gained this status not by being pampered by demanding fans. The remaining gold is refined, and those who would leave because I’m dating aren’t worth having as fans. You’d better figure out whether you want a puppet idol controlled by fans or a soaring eagle.”

With that, he hung up the phone, and no call would come in for the time being.

As Qu Feitai turned around, he saw the young girl’s starry eyes filled with admiration.

“Brother Qu, you’re so cool! I knew I didn’t misjudge you. You’re definitely an eagle, the most powerful soaring eagle in the sky!”
