Chapter 989: Chapter 977: Flirting with a Pretty Boy?
On this side of the bungalow, not long after Qiao Jing went to the research institute, Jiang Zihong brought people to the door.
The doorbell kept ringing, and Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin ran out of their rooms simultaneously to open the door.
Seeing that Jiang Zihong was the visitor, the sisters’ first reaction was to slam the door shut.
However, Jiang Zihong seemed to anticipate their reaction and quickly held the door with his hand before they could close it, while also glancing inside.
After looking around and not seeing Qiao Jing, Jiang Zihong frowned, "Why is it just the two of you? Where is Qiao Jing?"
Qiao Hong suppressed her disgust for Jiang Zihong and replied, "She went out."
"Where did she go?" Jiang Zihong immediately pursued.
Qiao Lin put her hands on her hips and glared at him irritatedly, "Where else could she go? It’s work time now; of course, our Xiao Jing is at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zihong was initially stunned, then laughed heartily as if hearing a joke, clearly not believing Qiao Lin’s words.
Once he finished laughing, he sneered, looking maliciously at Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin, "Earlier, you threatened me with Master Zhou and the Zhan Family, and now you’re throwing around the name of Professor Qiao’s Research Institute. Are you kidding me every day?"
"Let me tell you, I, Jiang Zihong, am not easily scared. Don’t think saying this will make me back down. I am determined to win Qiao Jing over, and I will absolutely not give up!"
After issuing his threat, Jiang Zihong ignored Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin’s expressions and pointed to a middle-aged man standing behind him.
The middle-aged man had blond hair and blue eyes, with a medical box slung over his shoulder.
"This is the foreign professor I mentioned before. I brought him to examine Qiao Jing’s face; you two go get Qiao Jing out here quickly."
As soon as Jiang Zihong finished speaking, Qiao Lin impatiently retorted, "Get who? I already told you, our Xiao Jing isn’t here. Can’t you understand human language!"
"Whether she’s here or not, it doesn’t count just because you say so; who knows if you’re lying to me."
With that, Jiang Zihong gestured to the accompanying bodyguards and commanded, "You guys, go in and search for me!"
"Jiang, you’re trespassing! We can sue you..."
Qiao Lin’s words were cut off by Jiang Zihong’s arrogant burst, "So what if I’m trespassing? Go ahead and sue me, see if you can bring me down!"
This statement infuriated Qiao Lin to the point of gnashing her teeth.
Although the sisters wanted to stop them, they couldn’t fend off the tall bodyguards and let them search through the house.
Soon, several bodyguards came out of the house and shook their heads at Jiang Zihong.
Qiao Lin rolled her eyes and sneered, "I told you she wasn’t here, and you still don’t believe it. What’s the point of searching!"
Qiao Hong also chuckled coldly, with a mocking tone, "You might as well stand at the door of Professor Qiao’s Research Institute, maybe you can catch a glimpse of our Xiao Jing from afar."
"I’m too lazy to waste words with you!"
After laying down these words, Jiang Zihong gave Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin a nasty glare and turned away with his people.
He wouldn’t believe the lies from these two, thinking that just because their surname is Qiao, they can fool him with the name of Professor Qiao’s Research Institute?
Don’t be ridiculous!
After leaving the bungalow, Jiang Zihong suddenly thought of something and detoured to Wonderful Hall for a look, but still didn’t find anyone.
With no other option, he had the bodyguards take the professor back first.
After all, this professor is a well-known figure abroad and shouldn’t be dragged around aimlessly in the street.
After that, Jiang Zihong walked alone along the street, thinking about where he might go to amuse himself and improve his mood.
As he wandered idly, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of the woman he was searching for.
Jiang Zihong felt a surge of inner delight and was ready to approach.
But after taking two steps, he discovered that a man was with the woman. The man was handsome, tall, with an impeccable appearance and figure, and seemed very charismatic.
More importantly, the two were chatting and laughing together, appearing very close!
This scene enraged Jiang Zihong to the extreme.
At this moment, Qiao Jing hadn’t noticed that Jiang Zihong was glaring at her and Lu Zijin from not far away.
After finishing her work at the research institute, she had gone to the hospital to find Lu Zijin to help treat a difficult case mentioned earlier in the morning.
Once they worked out the treatment plan, Lu Zijin invited her for coffee, so they went to a cafe outside the hospital to sit for a while.
As the two finished their coffee, chatting about various cases on their way out of the café.
Lu Zijin was always immersed in medicine, spending most of his time at the hospital and rarely appearing in public, so Jiang Zihong had only heard of the eldest son of the Lu Family but didn’t recognize Lu Zijin.
Watching the camaraderie between Qiao Jing and Lu Zijin, Jiang Zihong’s anger continued to blaze.
No wonder this woman always ignored him; it turned out she had already hooked up with another man!
With that thought in mind, Jiang Zihong angrily rushed forward to block their path.
Seeing his aggressive demeanor and bad intentions, Lu Zijin instinctively stepped forward to shield Qiao Jing.
This action aggravated Jiang Zihong further.
He stared angrily at the two, gritting his teeth, "Qiao Jing, I never thought you would be such a flirt. I wasted my effort bringing a professor from abroad to treat your face, and here you are, hooking up with a pretty boy behind my back!"
Hearing his insulting words, Lu Zijin’s usual gentle voice dropped a few notches, "Watch your language."
"Watch your mouth?!"
Jiang Zihong cursed, his venomous gaze fixed on Lu Zijin, "You dare steal my woman and still talk about courtesy? Do you know who I am? Do you think I can’t make you unable to stay in the capital?!"
With that, he suddenly raised his hand and shoved Lu Zijin hard.
Lu Zijin, caught off guard, staggered backward, almost crashing into Qiao Jing behind him.
Not yet satisfied after pushing Lu Zijin, Jiang Zihong intended to hit him.
Seeing this, Qiao Jing swiftly pulled Lu Zijin aside and simultaneously seized Jiang Zihong’s incoming fist, twisting his arm behind his back with force.
"Ah, ah, ah... my hand, my hand, it’s going to break..."
Jiang Zihong cried out in pain, attempting to free himself, but any movement felt as if his entire arm was about to snap, causing him intense pain.
Qiao Jing coldly watched Jiang Zihong and then kicked his knee.
"Thud—"
Jiang Zihong fell to his knees.
Qiao Jing, as if discarding trash, forcefully tossed him aside.
Being tossed like this, Jiang Zihong sprawled onto the ground, his face covered in dirt, utterly pathetic.
Seeing how effortlessly Qiao Jing subdued Jiang Zihong, Lu Zijin couldn’t help but be a little stunned.
He stared at the girl in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly thin and delicate girl had such remarkable skills!
Her valiant and bold demeanor, apart from surprising him, mostly filled him with admiration!
