When Liu Jian pushed open the door to Qiu Hai's office, Qiu Hai had just put the photos of Qiu Mowen and Autumn Wind into his wallet.
Liu Jian's face was slightly flushed, his eyes bloodshot, and he staggered before sitting down heavily on Qiu Hai's sofa with a thud.
"Have you been drinking?" Qiu Hai asked, narrowing his eyes.
Liu Jian didn't respond, forcing himself to keep his eyes on Qiu Hai.
Seeing Liu Jian in such a drunken state, Qiu Hai chose not to say anything further. He stood up and slammed the box containing Qiu Mowen's work materials down in front of Liu Jian with a thud.
Then he turned around, packed the disassembled photo frame back up, and tossed it into the box.
The lighting was dim, and with Liu Jian being drunk, Qiu Hai wasn't worried at all that Liu Jian would notice his actions.
"What is this!" Feeling something fall into the box, Liu Jian straightened up and reached in to rummage through it.
"Ervin's old materials; they might be useful for your work!" A wave of alcohol breath escaped Liu Jian's mouth as Qiu Hai raised an eyebrow.
"Ervin's stuff! Haha! It's really his!" Liu Jian exclaimed as he opened one of the books, seeing Qiu Mowen's handsome signature jump out at him.
When Liu Jian picked up a photo of himself and Qiu Mowen on the golf course, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, followed by a soft "woe."
"I'm sorry, Ervin. I'm really sorry. I didn't take good care of Autumn Wind!" He caressed the photo and began to cry like a child while crouching under the sofa.
Qiu Hai stood straight in front of Liu Jian, knowing that Liu Jian had drunk quite a bit.
He said nothing, simply watching Liu Jian quietly as he listened to him roar heavily with self-reproach and guilt.
Liu Jian was finally exhausted, wanting to collapse on the ground like a puddle of water. Qiu Hai nudged Liu Jian's arm with his foot, "Hey, you'll catch a cold like this. Get up!"
Liu Jian did not respond.
Qiu Hai loosened his collar, unbuttoned his cuffs, bent down, and pulled Liu Jian up.
"Hey, wake up, wake up!" Qiu Hai whispered urgently.
Liu Jian still did not react. Qiu Hai had no choice but to lay him on the sofa. What should he do? He couldn't let him sleep in the office!
He called the driver and asked him to help Liu Jian into his car, deciding to take Liu Jian back to his villa.
His car and Autumn Wind's car entered the Villa Area one after the other. When Autumn Wind got out of her car, Qiu Hai's car happened to pass by her door. Through the car window, Qiu Hai saw Autumn Wind wearing a hat and occasionally touching her hair.
It seemed her hair had been severely damaged by Jolie. Qiu Hai glanced at the sleeping Liu Jian beside him. Is love really this exhausting?
Or is Autumn Wind herself a dangerously tempting fruit? Otherwise, why was everyone around her getting hurt?
Qiu Hai instructed the Maid to help Liu Jian into the guest room and told the housekeeper to take good care of him before heading upstairs alone.
He walked directly to the window of the villa and opened it.
At almost the same time, Autumn Wind appeared at her window. She opened it and saw Qiu Hai standing there as well.
Qiu Hai waved at her and made a gesture as if answering a phone call.
Autumn Wind furrowed her brow, contemplating the meaning of this action when her phone rang.
She stepped back to the desk, took out her phone, and saw Qiu Hai's name flashing on the screen. It turned out he was asking her to answer the call.
"Hello, is there something wrong, Mr. Qiu?" Autumn Wind answered the phone while slowly walking to the window, looking at Qiu Hai who was also holding a phone across from her.
"Can't I call if there's nothing wrong? Is your hair okay?" Qiu Hai pointed at Autumn Wind's hat and asked.
In fact, even without the phone, Autumn Wind could faintly hear Qiu Hai's voice from such a close distance.
Qiu Hai's voice drifted into Autumn Wind's ears with the wind, echoing with the sound from the receiver, like a symphony with a high level of tacit understanding.
"Nothing's wrong!" Qiu Hai indeed knew about Jolie pulling her hair; she pressed her lips together, feeling a wave of bitterness rise in her heart.
The figure of Qiu Hai in front of her always reminded her of Qiu Mowen. Was it merely because they were classmates who shared a beautiful student life together?
Conflicted and distressed, these feelings weighed heavily on Autumn Wind's heart.
"Um... Liu Jian is at my house; he's drunk. Do you want to come check on him?" After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Hai finally got to the point.
When this reached Autumn Wind's ears, she gasped in shock. Did she hear that right? Liu Jian was at Qiu Hai's house, and Qiu Hai wanted her to check on Liu Jian!
Did Qiu Hai not know how crazily his sister loved Liu Jian? As an older brother, shouldn't he give the opportunity to Jolie?
Suddenly, Autumn Wind remembered something: besides the last dance party, where Jolie appeared at Qiu Hai's villa, she hadn't shown up again! How poor was the relationship between these siblings!
"No, it's too late, it's not convenient to go over. You can call Jolie; she might come!" Autumn Wind rejected Qiu Hai's suggestion and tentatively mentioned Jolie.
Hmph...
The voice of Qiu Hai on the phone sounded contemptuous; yes, it was indeed Qiu Hai's voice.
The relationship between these siblings is really poor; it's even worse than mine with Qiu Ruolan! Autumn Wind felt a surge of secret joy in her heart.
"Are you really not coming?" Qiu Hai asked again.
"Um..." Autumn Wind hesitated, looking up at Qiu Hai, but suddenly felt as if something had struck her heart. Ah, that feeling she had for Qiu Mowen, how could it appear in relation to Qiu Hai?
Realizing this, Autumn Wind did not continue the conversation and quickly hung up the phone.
Qiu Hai did not expect Autumn Wind to hang up suddenly; his expression was a bit shocked as he looked up at her.
Autumn Wind hurriedly waved at Qiu Hai and then closed the window, quickly pulling down the curtains.
She touched her flushed face, leaning against the wall, her heart racing almost to the point of bursting.
Ah, no! Autumn Wind threw herself onto the bed; the more she tried to suppress it, the faster her heart raced.
She pulled off her hat, and her scalp began to ache from having her hair yanked.
On the morning of the twenty-first, Autumn Wind, still half-asleep, received a call from Fish. Fish immediately asked, "Hey, I heard you were bullied by Jolie yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, Autumn Wind's drowsy mind suddenly cleared up. She jumped out of bed and exclaimed, "How do you know that!"
"That's none of your concern. Just answer me: yes or no!" Fish's tone was filled with anger.
"Well, it wasn't really like that..."
"Don't deny it! I know! Autumn Wind, how could you be so foolish... In situations like this, you can't let yourself be at a disadvantage. You're now the Second Largest Shareholder in HK; it's embarrassing to go out like this!" Fish spoke with the tone of a streetwise big sister. "Hey, are you listening?" Fish paused, not hearing Autumn Wind's response, and asked anxiously.
Autumn Wind let out a few dry laughs. Did she expect me to team up with Jolie and roll around on the ground? That would be even more embarrassing! Sigh...
"Ah, it's nothing really..."
"Hey, Autumn Wind, I have an idea for you. Do you want to hear it?" Fish's voice carried a hint of mischief.
"No way! You just want to come to HK and help me deal with Jolie! I'm not falling for that!" Autumn Wind saw through Fish's scheme.
"Wow, you're really smart to guess that!" After hearing Autumn Wind's words, Fish instantly became lively. "Actually, you don't need to go to HK; I can just be your assistant. You've been someone's assistant for so many years; it's time for you to enjoy yourself! Please, please!"
Hearing Fish say "please" was rare, which made Autumn Wind suspicious. "Did you run into trouble or are you short on cash?"
"No... No way! How could that be... Besides, if I were short on cash, would I borrow from you? I'm currently holding onto you as my big financial backer!" Fish's voice trembled slightly as Oke's cries came through the receiver. "Alright, let's talk later! Bye!"
"Hey..." Autumn Wind wanted to ask something else, but the line went dead with a hang-up tone.
Autumn Wind fell back onto the bed again, sighing, "I really don't want to go to work! What am I going to do with my hair?" She felt a wave of frustration.
Unable to resist, she closed her eyes for a moment and quickly fell asleep again.
When Autumn Wind woke up once more, she was startled awake by a noise, but this time it wasn't her phone; it was a person.
Fish was standing at Autumn Wind's door, holding Oke.
"You... how did you get here?" Autumn Wind exclaimed, her eyes wide in disbelief. She looked down at Fish, who was wearing high heels that were over ten centimeters tall. "Did you take a taxi? Did the security let you in this time?" Carrying Oke and walking that distance in high heels was no small feat.
Autumn Wind hurried over and took Oke from Fish's arms.
"Is your son getting chubby again, or is it just because I haven't eaten? He feels heavier than before!" As soon as she held Oke, Autumn Wind couldn't help but comment.
"It's your fault!" Fish followed Autumn Wind into the room and gently patted her head. "That must hurt!"
"No, not at all! It's great that you're here; I was just worried about how to get to the office!" Autumn Wind picked up a hat from the bed and threw it at Fish helplessly. "I really don't want to wear a hat!"
Fish caught the hat and put it on her own head, posing for a moment. "Well, I'm here now!"
You’re here, Autumn Wind suddenly remembered that she hadn't invited Fish over. Could it be that she wanted to pressure me into hiring her? Feeling suspicious, she asked, "How did you get here?"
"Of course someone hired me!" Fish replied with that sly tone she often used on the phone.
"Hired you? Was it her?" Autumn Wind immediately thought of Qiu Ruolan. Did she find out about me getting my hair pulled by Jolie? Her face began to flush slightly.
"Not that! It's him!"
"Who?" Autumn Wind was really confused.
"It's Qiu Hai!" Yu didn't intend to continue joking with Autumn Wind and directly mentioned Qiu Hai's name.
"What happened? How did Qiu Hai get involved?"
"Probably because he thinks his sister hurt you and feels guilty. Right now, I am Qiu Hai's specially hired assistant for you, mainly responsible for your makeup and also for fighting on your behalf!" Yu struck a pose like a martial artist.
Autumn Wind didn't believe Yu's words at all and put Oke on the ground. "What about Oke while you're working? Are your parents watching him?"
"Of course not. I'll take Oke to Qiu Hai's house later; their nanny will take care of him, and my salary will be paid by him! It won't cost you a dime!"
With that, Yu leaned closer to Autumn Wind's face. "I feel like Qiu Hai might be pursuing you!"
Pursuing me? Just thinking about the fluttering feelings from last night made Autumn Wind's face turn as red as an apple. "Don't be ridiculous!"
"Wow, looks like there's going to be some good drama!"
