Chapter 2356: 2170: Brother-in-Law, Do You Not Like Me Anymore?

Not watching the news, you’d really be out of the loop. Liu Xia and Xiao Hong discovered that first there were a few mummy cases in Jinling, with no suspects identified so far, and then quite a few skeletons were found in a mountain lake in the suburbs, identities yet to be confirmed. Liu Xia didn’t think much of it, as her routine was usually just back and forth between two points, either going to work at the company or returning to her community, but Xiao Hong was different.

Coming out of the factory and returning to the urban village, she was genuinely a bit scared.

However, now that she had voluntarily moved out, she felt embarrassed to move back in again.

Ye Qiu drove to the underground parking lot of that high-rise, parked the car, and got out with the two women.

Then they took the elevator up to the top floor.

In the top floor’s buffet restaurant, Ye Qiu bought three meal tickets, and after entering, the two women who hadn’t had good food for a while thought they must eat enough to make up for the price.

Five hundred per person, fifteen hundred for three people, it seemed like a very high-end buffet to the two women.

The three of them were led by a female waitress to a four-seater table, and when Ye Qiu sat down, Xiao Hong pulled Liu Xia to find food.

For Xiao Hong, the canteen food at the joint-venture factory was really just a bit better than those outside buffets.

So now, seeing so much delicious food there, she felt she had to eat her fill.

Ye Qiu sat there looking at the scenery outside the window, while the two women picked his favorites first and then went to find what they liked to eat.

Seeing the two women filling up the whole table, Ye Qiu said, "That’s enough."

Only then did the two women sit down.

Liu Xia sat next to Ye Qiu and when she served food to him, it made Xiao Hong feel envious of their affection.

However, despite the envy, she didn’t think too much more about it.

From past six in the evening to past eight at night, the two women felt like they were about to balloon, having eaten so much they couldn’t fit anymore.

In contrast, Ye Qiu didn’t eat much.

Back in Las Vegas, the buffet cost nearly ten thousand Huaxia Yuan per person, and he didn’t eat that much even then.

Now, after resting for half an hour, the three of them came down from the buffet restaurant, and Ye Qiu asked, "Xiao Hong, should I take you back now?"

"You better take me back sooner."

She was quite anxious about being out too late.

Especially after watching that news earlier.

Ye Qiu drove towards the urban village where Xiao Hong lived, and when they arrived nearby, Xiao Hong got out of the car with her bag, and Ye Qiu backed the car out and left.

Ye Qiu then drove towards Liu Xia’s community.

"Ye Qiu, are you coming back tonight?"

"I’ll come find you tonight, but I have to go now."

Leaving now?

However, Ye Qiu promised to come back tonight.

When Liu Xia got out of Ye Qiu’s car, Ye Qiu drove towards the direction of Norwegian Forest.

The night was still young, but much to Ye Qiu’s surprise, when he arrived near Norwegian Forest Bar, the place was already full of parked cars, and he had to park nearby.

After parking the car, he headed to Norwegian Forest Bar.

Norwegian Forest prohibits prostitution, gambling, and drugs; aside from drinking and listening to music, there’s nothing else here.

Of course, whatever the female servers do after work is none of Zhao Rubing’s business. Whatever they choose to do after leaving the bar is beyond her influence.

Moreover, the security here is excellent.

Everyone knows the lady boss’s sister is a detective in the City Police Bureau, so no one dares to cause trouble here.

As Ye Qiu headed towards the bar, the place was already bustling with activity.

Currently, there are two resident bands here, both with a certain fame in Jinling.

When Ye Qiu entered, he went straight to Zhao Rubing’s office.

He knocked on the door outside, but there was no response.

Could Zhao Rubing not be here?

"Ruibing, where are you?"

Ye Qiu took out his phone and called to ask.

"Where are you?"

The person on the other side asked instead.

"I’m at Norwegian Forest."

"I’m still at the community, I’ll head over."

Damn, if she hadn’t mentioned it to her sister, he might not have sought her out at all.

Ye Qiu went to the bar outside and, while sitting there, asked the bartender to bring him a cocktail.

Previously, Ye Qiu had taught these bartenders how to mix drinks, and since the place was remodeled, it had indeed become much more upscale.

Sitting there listening to the resident singer perform while drinking, Ye Qiu actually enjoyed it.

Of course, as he sat there, a few women approached him, but Ye Qiu wasn’t interested at all, he could see right through them.

After a few drinks of vodka, Ye Qiu didn’t feel much.

About an hour later, Zhao Rubing arrived and was in her office.

"I’m in the office now."

Ye Qiu then headed towards her office.

The office was just that VIP room, but usually, it was only Zhao Rubing drinking there herself.

Ye Qiu knocked on the door, and Zhao Rubing opened it, looked at him, and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you forgotten about your sister-in-law?"

What brother-in-law or not?

Ye Qiu knew Zhao Rubing was definitely doing it on purpose.

After he closed the door, he said, "Didn’t your sister say you had something to discuss with me?"

"Can’t I look for you even if I don’t have something?"

Zhao Rubing deliberately leaned into Ye Qiu as she asked.

Though they looked exactly the same, these two had completely opposite personalities, one cold, one warm. Ye Qiu also knew Zhao Rubing wasn’t as mature as her sister.

Zhao Rubing noticed Ye Qiu seemed indifferent to her, had become much more distant, and couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

"Do you not like me anymore?"

"Since when did I like you?"

Ye Qiu asked oddly.

"Then what about before, when you took advantage of me so many times?"

Previously, Ye Qiu differentiated the two sisters by their bra sizes. Now, under Ye Qiu’s treatment, Zhao Rubing had also reached a C.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s gaze, Zhao Rubing got angry, only to get up to grab a bottle of red wine and opened it to drink.

"Then let me drink with you."

Ye Qiu said.

"Brother-in-law, you’re a bad guy."

Zhao Rubing remarked as she looked at him.

"That time was a misunderstanding, didn’t we clear it up?"

"Did my sister say something to you?"

Since childhood, the two sisters had been snatching toys from each other; whatever the elder sister liked, the younger one also wanted. But now they encountered a man both liked.

Especially since Zhao Ruxue met him first, Zhao Rubing knew she could never snatch from her sister.

Plus, Ye Qiu wasn’t a toy. Whether he liked her depended on Ye Qiu himself.

"What do you mean? Your sister’s always busy with cases, she doesn’t have time for romance with me."
