Chapter 154: Let’s Get Together
Zhang Xiqing’s face twisted in a contemptuous grimace as the man’s laughter echoed in her ear over the phone. Qi Xiang was quite well-known in Nanjiang City, but in a notorious and dishonorable way. He was infamously known as a womanizer in the city, and he could start his own university by gathering all of his girlfriends past and present. Qi Xiang didn’t have a bottom line or principle when it came to women. When he had a target, he would aim and charge at her like a predator attacking a prey, regardless of their will.
Zhang Xiqing snorted in disdain. If it wasn’t for retaliating against Jiang Yao, she had no desire to befriend such a disgusting man in her life.
“I thought of you when I saw my collegemate’s husband driving your new car to pick his wife up from university the other day. When will you be free? Let’s get together. You and me, your friends and mine, let’s call up the friend who borrowed your car and his wife too. Your friend’s wife is my coincidentally my collegemate, so I know her.” Zhang Xiqing’s tone made it seem like she was an old friend of his. Then, she chuckled, “My collegemate is very pretty, I bet she’ll leave an impression to you when you meet her.”
Qi Xiang grunted, “Who told you that the guy who drove my car was married? He, Zhou Weiqi, is still a bachelor. I can guarantee that he is not married. Did your friend tell you that? Wow, she’s quite ambitious, that friend of yours. Does she really imagine that she is Zhou Weiqi’s wife? I bet he was just flirting with her and has dumped her already. He has left Nanjiang City.”
Qi Xiang had only loaned his car to Zhou Weiqi after he bought it, so he guessed from Zhang Xiqing’s remarks that it was Zhou Weiqi who had driven his car to her school to hit on girls. He wondered if women nowadays were so dumb as Zhang Xiqing mentioned the term ‘wife’. Zhou Weiqi was on a business trip here for a day, and he found a woman to spend a night with him out of boredom. Did that woman really call herself Zhou Weiqi’s wife after a one night stand? He bet that Zhou Weiqi didn’t even see her as a girlfriend, but instead, only as a single-use sex tool. Did she already imagine a future with him after a night of intimacy?

Qi Xiang had furthered his study at a university in Jindo, and it was also by coincidence that he got to know Zhou Weiqi. They didn’t have a problem with each other, though Qi Xiang had deliberately coaxed Zhou Weiqi due to his reputation in Jindo. Hence, he had been on friendly terms with Zhou Weiqi all this while.
He had planned to entertain Zhou Weiqi when he was in town this time, but Zhou Weiqi had disappeared for a long time after borrowing his car and was busy with his business affairs. It was only until a day before Zhou Weiqi left for Jindo that they had an opportunity to have a meal together.
Qi Xiang knew of Zhou Weiqi’s social status. The Qi family was one of the wealthiest families in Nanjiang City, but they paled in comparison with the Zhou family in Jindo. Thus, Qi Xiang was very certain that Zhou Weiqi would not marry a woman without any significant background as his wife.
However, a wicked idea was generated in Qi Xiang’s mind after Zhang Xiqing said that the girl was very pretty.
Zhang Xiqing was generally known for her attractive looks in Nanjiang City. When a pretty girl praised another girl as pretty, and the girl was so pretty that she attracted Zhou Weiqi’s attention, then she must be good-looking indeed.
Qi Xiang felt his curiosity tickling inside him, wondering what Zhou Weiqi’s woman tasted like. Besides, Zhou Weiqi had gone back to Jindo and would not return to Nanjiang City any time soon, so he certainly couldn’t care less about the girl now.
“Deal! Tomorrow night then. Tell your collegemate that I’ll bring her husband along, just say that we’ll be getting together for tea.” Qi Xiang was convinced that the girl would walk right into his trap by luring her with Zhou Weiqi as bait.
