C16 Pretending Not to Know

"Time and place, if there are no accidents, I will come to participate." Xuan Tian looked at Jiang Qiyue and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

In the past, she would never accept things that others sent over.

But when Jiang Qiyue gave things, she was surprisingly at ease.

This feeling was extremely strange.

"This is the invitation to enter the venue and my business card. Call me when you arrive." Jiang Qiyue took out two delicate cards from Bao Bao.

"You are Jiang Qiyue, Teacher Jiang?" When Xuan Tian received the invitation and the business card, she looked at the names on it with surprise.

Jiang Qiyue nodded but did not say anything else, "Then see you next week."

Xuan Tian looked at the name card and invitation card in her hand and her fingertips slightly folded as she watched Jiang Qiyue leave.

"Miss Xuan, you are not considering returning to the scene?" Hong looked at Jiang Qiyue's back and did not dare to stop her.

"Since this competition did not welcome me initially, I do not need to come. In addition, I am very grateful for the other opportunities provided by the competition." Xuan Tian glanced at Hong. She was just a small person who liked to follow the trend and left this place.

Hong wanted the security guards to stop her but she did not expect that Kerry, who was originally waiting for Xuan Tian in the car, would get out of the car at this time.

"Miss Xuan, the competition is over?" Kerry looked in the other direction as if he was waiting for someone else.

"Not yet. I left halfway." Xuan Tian did not avoid it.

"You can get in the car first. Brother Qi will probably come out later." Kerry opened the car door.

Xuan Tian widened her eyes. "He is here too?"

There were a lot of people on the stage. She did not look down.

She really did not expect Zhou Zhengqi to appear behind her back.

Indeed, on the surface, he said he didn't want it, but in reality, his body was very honest.

The two of them did not wait long in the car. Kerry received the phone call and drove away.

"Didn't you say you would wait for him to leave?" Xuan Tian looked at the field outside. There were already a lot of people outside, but she still did not see Zhou Zhengqi.

There were so many people outside. Could something have happened?

"Brother Qi asked us to leave first. In addition, he did not want me to tell you about his visit. I hope you can go back immediately. You should know what should be said and what should not be said." Kerry looked at Xuan Tian.

He didn't understand Zhou Zhengqi's arrangement, but he was right about it.

Xuan Tian immediately understood that men might be like this.

She clearly cared about her, but she pretended not to care.

The car returned to the small clinic. At this time, a few patients unexpectedly appeared in the small clinic on the first floor. Kerry led the way in front and stopped at the stairs on the third floor.

"Sister-in-law, you can go up. We won't go up now."

Xuan Tian looked at the stairs and then at the second floor.

This place was full of strangeness.

"Okay." Xuan Tian did not ask much and went up to the third floor alone.

The third floor was as quiet as usual.

She swept her gaze across the living room and saw Zhou Zhengqi reading a book. In her memory, Zhou Zhengqi seemed to be reading when he had free time.

"You're back? What's the result of the competition?" Zhou Zhengqi looked at her.

"He came back before the result was out. However, did you go out before?" Xuan Tian walked to Zhou Zhengqi's side and looked at him.

Zhou Zhengqi had always been sitting in a wheelchair, but now he was sitting on the sofa. The wheelchair was put away.

"How did you tell?" It was rare for Zhou Zhengqi to put down the things in his hands and watch Xuan Tian talk.

"It has rained outside. There are traces of water on your wheelchair. There are also records of wheelchair rolling on the first floor." Xuan Tian explained.

"It should be Kerry who told you that you noticed this, right?" Zhou Zhengqi's tone was very calm, but he could not hear his anger and happiness.

Xuan Tian coughed lightly. There was a trace of unnatural expression on her face.

She clearly wanted to trick Zhou Zhengqi, but why did it seem like she was seen through by Zhou Zhengqi now?

"In the end, your work won the first place with ten million yuan. It was in the name of Guan Zhiying that you won the final award." Zhou Zhengqi brought the topic back to the competition.

Xuan Tian pursed her lips and clenched her fists slightly.

Guan Zhiying? Hopefully, she would find her work useful.

After all, her good older sister Xuan Zili also likes this set of work.

It all depended on how they would compete in the end!

"After I got off the stage, I recognized Teacher Jiang Qiyue. She asked me to go to the art exhibition next week. Can I go?" Xuan Tian took out the invitation letter from her bag.

"You don't care about the results of the competition?" Zhou Zhengqi looked at her.

Xuan Tian shook her head. "For me, this work will be fine as long as I participate in JK's competition. As far as I know, JK's final work will be used for business. As for the money Guan Zhiying took, she will return it to me."

"I also happen to be participating in the surgery next week. You can go to the art exhibition and ask Kerry to send you there." After Zhou Zhengqi finished speaking, he continued to read the book in his hand.

Xuan Tian's gaze stopped on his delicate profile. Even if this man was crippled, he still did not give her any feeling of dejection.

It was as if he was born to become a king. Just by sitting there, he gave people a feeling of oppression.

Xuan Tian received the news she wanted and returned to her room.

However, the moment she arrived in her room, she stopped in her tracks.

The window was already open and there was still the smell of air serum in the air.

Something was not right! There was also the smell of blood!

Xuan Tian's gaze swept across the room but did not find anything unusual.

The hall just now also seemed to have the smell of air freshener?

Was she trying to cover up the smell of blood?

Xuan Tian's thoughts instantly pulled back to the previous few nights. At that time, she was held by a knife to her neck.

Countless doubts flashed through her mind, but she still suppressed them.

Xuan Tian took the brush and paper from the bedroom and came to the studio.

What surprised her was that there was no other smell in the studio. It was clean and it made her feel less uncomfortable.

"Bang, bang, bang. Sister-in-law, it's time to eat." There was a knock on the door.

Xuan Tian opened the door of the studio and saw a group of people outside. Compared to the people who came to fetch Zhou Zhengqi a few days ago, there were a few familiar faces and a few unfamiliar faces.

"It smells so good." Xuan Tian had just opened the door when she asked about the fragrance of the dishes in the hall.

"Our big brother heard that you got first place in the design competition, so he specially asked us brothers to arrange a party for you to celebrate. Our brothers are all rough people. What can't we do? Everyone got first place. This is the first time we know that the people around us got a cultural award." The man who came to knock on the door seemed a little silly.
