Chapter 669: What is Meant to Come, Can’t Be Avoided! [Seeking Monthly Votes]
More importantly, the girl just now said her name was Zhang Lingying.
Her last name is Zhang.
What is her relationship with Professor Zhang?
Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian almost thought of this at the same time.
There’s a saying that goes, after much fruitless searching, one achieves without effort.
Although they had been through storms, such storms were followed by rainbows, making the ordeal not a complete loss — a blessing amidst misfortune!
Therefore, seeing Zhang Lingying inspecting the house, neither of them left but instead quietly stood in the living room waiting.
As she walked over, Ji Weitian was about to speak, but Zhang Lingying cut her off, "Nothing is missing from the house, and I don’t need any compensation from you. You can leave now."
No sooner said than done.
The moment they heard the eviction order, Ji Weitian almost unhesitatingly pushed Qin Nanyu out, "Um, Miss Zhang, my friend hasn’t recovered from his fever. He can’t travel now. Could we possibly stay one more day? We can pay for the room!"
Qin Nanyu was taken by surprise by her push and almost fell forward. Just as he steadied himself, he met Zhang Lingying’s scrutinizing gaze.
Her brow was slightly furrowed, as if she really doubted whether he was sick.
She couldn’t tell much, but Qin Nanyu’s aura and demeanor were clearly not ordinary; he exuded wealth or nobility, which was easily discernible.
"This is a private residence, not a hotel. We do not accommodate guests."
Zhang Lingying’s tone was somewhat firm.
It was clear she disliked dealing with strangers, her words tinged with impatience.
Hearing this, Ji Weitian immediately turned and glared at Qin Nanyu.
Usually, he pretended well enough in front of her,
but at the crucial moment, he couldn’t even convincingly fake being sick, making it obvious at a glance.
Ji Weitian desperately winked at him, urging Qin Nanyu to faint on the spot to give them a natural reason to stay.
"What is your relationship with Professor Zhang Guangzi?" Qin Nanyu didn’t heed Ji Weitian’s hint and, without beating around the bush, asked directly with a raised eyebrow.
At that, Ji Weitian covered her face with her hand, wishing she could die.
Everyone knew that Professor Zhang was unmarried and thus, childless.
Moreover, after retiring, the old man had virtually vanished, clearly wanting his life undisturbed.
Combining these two facts, even if Zhang Lingying truly had some connection with Professor Zhang, she wouldn’t openly admit it to them.
Their best bet would have been to stay first and play it by ear.
But instead, he just had to ask so directly...
"I don’t know who you’re talking about, and I’m not interested in your affairs. My home does not welcome you. Please leave immediately!"
Zhang Lingying’s response perfectly matched Ji Weitian’s speculation.
She didn’t even get a chance to speak a word in Qin Nanyu’s defense before they were kicked out, literally driven from the guesthouse.
Standing in front of the car, Ji Weitian couldn’t help but sigh, "As expected, it’s your fate to be kicked out. Being with you even my luck has worsened."
Just a second ago, Qin Nanyu had been examining the guesthouse and Zhang Lingying, who still stood in the yard. Hearing her words, he turned and walked up to her, his gaze intense.
"Since we’ve been kicked out, why don’t you start by explaining last night’s events?"
