" You can," Xua Ying Yue looked at the book which Zou Zeming brought with him and chuckled softly. She only said those words because she wanted this man to stop asking her question, did he really think that she was going to rush ahead and kill someone?
Though she did not know what Zou Zeming was thinking when he picked up this book she had an inkling that it was most likely because of the words that she said earlier.
Seeing that she was not willing to talk to him, Zou Zeming did not wish to rub his warm face against the cold pan either. He too opened his book and then started to read the laws which were mentioned in great detail one by one and every time he reached the section which mentioned punishment, he would raise his voice a little causing Xua Ying Yue to hear him reciting the crime and its punishment.
In fact, when he mentioned execution on the spot for committing murder, his voice was a bit too loud.
Xua Ying Yue: "…."
She looked at the man twice before she deemed him unworthy of her time and then looked down at the magazine that she had picked up from the front of the library where a rack which had metal shelves and reached the waist of an adult was kept.
Her eyes looked at the interview which was written on the thirty-fifth page while her fingers almost crumpled the image of the elderly middle age man who was smiling brightly on the glossy pages of the magazine.
On the top of the page, Lu Qin Yaozu was smiling like a gentleman, if no one knew that he was the kind of man who used his money to ruin the future of others, they would be fooled by that gentle smile and face which defied the heavens.
But Xua Ying Yue was not fooled, she knew that the smile on this man's face was nothing but full of mockery. He was a man who had no bottom line and who knew how many poor people he exploited on a daily basis but at the moment in this magazine, he was dressed in one of the finest suits which according to the reporter who took this interview was sewn in country A and its cost was more than five hundred thousand yuan.
Her eyes which were sunken and gloomy stared at the man's image until her nails itched to scratch the face of the man, this man had everything but yet he stayed silent as his daughter ruined everything for her.
Even if this man was to die, Xua Ying Yue did not think it was too much of a pity. If anything, she believed that she will be doing a favour to this world.
As she read the interview with her eyes combing through every single sentence, she finally placed her fingers on the 'likes' of this man.
' Fine food, cats and flowers.'
Apparently, he had a passion for gardening. If that were the case, it would be too much of a shame if she did not create a wonderful gift for him in and sent it to the Lu house where he will be able to enjoy it thoroughly.
" What are you reading?" Because Xua Ying Yue was busy reading the magazine, she did not notice Zou Zeming who was leaning over the table and was peeking at the magazine which was spread over her lap.
Startled, Xua Ying Yue raised her head and looked at the man whose face was so close that she could see his eyes which seemed to have an entire galaxy inside of them.
Heat crept to her cheeks as she leaned back and then snapped at him in a cold voice, " This should be my question, what do you think you are doing?"
Zou Zeming realised that he was a bit out of the line and pulled himself away, in fact, he was not used to getting along with opposite genders but Xua Ying Yue struck her as mysterious and he could not help but study her a little.
This girl was obviously very young but she looked at the world as if she had enough of it.
It made him want to unravel her secrets and pull her out of whichever abyss she was standing inside at the moment. Maybe he was being nosy but he could not see a girl like Xua Ying Yue give up on the world just because some people were not kind to her.
Though he did not know what happened but last night when he was looking at Xua Ying Yue who was serving the guests, he noticed that she stayed quite far away from the flames of the stove, in fact, it could be said that she even flinched a little when Madam Tian raised the flames to a higher temperature.
It made him realise that the hands which were covered by bandages might not have been injured by Xua Ying Yue but by someone deliberately.
Zou Zeming coughed a little and then said in a gruff voice, " I was just trying to see if you were reading a third book other than these two, who would have expected that you are one of those students who read comics under the disguise of seriously studying."
What was she doing reading that magazine?
His eyes fell on the figure on the glossy page and he couldn't help but ask, " You seemed pretty engrossed while reading this interview, is it because you admire that man a lot?"
As Zou Zeming said the word 'admire' he almost gagged, he had long heard about Lu Qin Yaozu from his mother who worked at a top firm, according to his mother, sixty out of a hundred cases belonged to Lu corporations in a month and because that man had a lot of 'stinky money' according to his mother, she could only watch her superiors act all nice in front of that man and willingly wipe his butt with a smile on their faces.
