Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 95 Part 2

Chapter 95 Part 2: Qiong Zhi

She stopped her footsteps in front of a room.

Jiang Li paused before saying: “Okay.”

After the woman had walked away, Jiang Li then said: “Tong’er, Bai Xue, wait for me outside the door.”

“Miss…..” Tong’er was surprised that Jiang Li didn’t intend to bring them inside. She actually wasn’t hurt because Jiang Li didn’t trust them, didn’t tell them her secret, rather, she was worried, would Jiang Li really planning to turn upside down like husband and wife with this Miss Qiong Zhi? Don’t tell her that her young lady likes the same gender? Tong’er was terrified.

Jiang Li had no idea of the disorderly thoughts Tong’er had in her mind. She simply pushed the door open and walked inside, then turned around and closed the door.

In front of the dressing table, sat someone with a seductive and versatile back. Her cyan muslin skirt was nearly rolled up to her waist, exposing a large expanse of snow white skin. Her back was very graceful, and the shadow of the woman lining it was too wonderful for words.

“Miss Qiong Zhi.” Jiang Li quietly started to talk.

The figure turned around slowly.

This woman was born with a small face, just as big as a palm. Her thin eyebrows and long eyes appeared charmingly sharp. Contrarily, she was also born with an ample chin which made her look honest and innocent, giving her entire bearing an unusual flavor. She should also know that she had a well defined mouth and used an amorous lip rouge to smoothen it, making it become more and more beautiful, dripping with pa.s.sion. Probably she had just loosened her hair, her long hair was fluffy and in disarray as it was unrolled at her back messily. There’s a feeling of a lazy beauty.

This was precisely the well-known Qiong Zhi of Xi Hua Lou.

To be honest, in regards to her facial features, Qiong Zhi could not be said as stunning. She had many flaws, she was even a bit inferior compared to Jiang Yu’e. However, that ignorant, dull style engraved in her bones made people linger, hard to forget.

Qiong Zhi looked at Jiang Li, attentively measuring her. After a while, she smiled and asked: “Does Miss want to drink a cup of tea?”

She wasn’t clear on Jiang Li’s purpose in coming, yet she remained composed and unhurried. It could be seen that she was a woman with courage and insight.

Jiang Li laughed and said: “No need, I came here looking for Miss Qiong Zhi because there are some matters that I want to ask.”

“But I don’t know you.” Qiong Zhi smiled sweetly and said: “or to speak of, perhaps, do I know your sweetheart?” Her end words were t.i.tillating, her smile was also seductive.

“It’s not like that,” Jiang Li took a seat. Facing Qiong Zhi’s provocation, she smiled, neither too fast nor too slow. “I know your sweetheart.”

Qiong Zhi covered her mouth: “What are you talking about…….”

“Xue Zhao.” Jiang Li spat two words out.

Qiong Zhi’s smile immediately froze.

The delicate and naive beauty finally stopped the manner she had been showing from the beginning. She quietly and carefully stared at Jiang Li’s eyes. Although she concealed it well, there’s still a trace of frenzy and made her look a bit more serious.

“Who are you?” After a long time, Qiong Zhi opened her mouth to ask.

“I am an old friend of Xue Zhao.” Jiang Li lowered her eyes.

“How do you know that I am acquainted with Xue Zhao?” Qiong Zhi asked.

“Xue Zhao mentioned you to me.” Jiang Li said: “I noted it down.”

“Mentioned me…….” Qiong Zhi’s expression was somewhat distracted.

Jiang Li fixed her attention on the woman in front of her. In the end, Qiong Zhi still had a trace of affection towards Xue Zhao.

That year, Xue Zhao had a bet with his schoolmates. Behind Xue Huai Yuan’s knowledge, he went to Xi Hua Lou to drink with female entertainers. Although he just drank with female entertainers, Xue Zhao was after all not used to this kind of setting. He originally planned to make an excuse to slip away, but he never thought that on the way out, he encountered Qiong Zhi being pushed roughly by a guest, seemingly being bullied.

Xue Zhao was someone who stood up bravely for the truth. He stopped at once and asked what the matter was. Qiong Zhi immediately stammered her complaint tearfully, a story of a woman from a respectable family being forced to take the wrong step in life. Xue Zhao hit and injured the guest, and also asked Qiong Zhi how he could redeem her. Qiong Zhi spat out a huge figure which made Xue Zhao helpless.

Xue Zhao had no money so he told Qiong Zhi that as long as Qiong Zhi was willing, he would bring her out from Xi Hua Lou. However, he found out afterwards that everything was done by Qiong Zhi to get rid of that guest and she used Xue Zhao to escape. Qiong Zhi had never thought of leaving Xi Hua Lou and that pitiful story of a woman being forced into the brothel was just a lie concocted to deceive.

At first, Xue Zhao painstakingly planned how to help Qiong Zhi escape, even so much as to ask Jiang Li’s help in thinking of a way. Afterwards, Qiong Zhi saw that Xue Zhao truly wanted to bring her away and thought that it was inconceivable and ridiculous, thus she revealed the truth. Xue Zhao felt cheated and walked away in anger, vowing to no longer believe the lies told by brothel women.

The young and vigorous Xue Zhao was toyed by a woman until his blood boiled and Jiang Li couldn’t stand it, so she went to Xi Hua Lou to meet Qiong Zhi. She learnt that Xue Fang Fei was Xue Zhao’s sister and unexpectedly revealed a rare reservation. Nevertheless, there was concern for Xue Zhao in her words and she asked Xue Fang Fei to express her apology to Xue Zhao. Xue Fang Fei could see that Qiong Zhi possibly liked Xue Zhao, but Xue Zhao and Qiong Zhi were not people on the same road. Therefore, she didn’t tell Xue Zhao about this.

From then on, there was no longer any interaction with Qiong Zhi.
