Chapter 137: Take Out Your Phone!

None of those following Zhan Su could fathom what the young master was thinking at this moment.

Was it true that he had no connection to this girl named Shi Qingqing? Was it merely a case of chivalry, stepping in to help a stranger in need? Or was there more to the story?

Some were burning with curiosity, their hearts full of gossip, yet they dared not utter a single word.

Shi Qingqing turned on the faucet, bowing her head to pick the grass leaves and seeds from her clothes. Suddenly, she felt the light dim before her.

Zhan Su strode in, his expression gloomy and his demeanor arrogant.

"Why didn't you greet me when you saw me? Pretending not to know me!"

Shi Qingqing desperately wanted to point out that he was the one who had pretended they barely knew each other.

"Thank you for helping me out today, Young Master Zhan. My great uncle is just so annoying." She said this nonchalantly, her hands never stopping their work of plucking the grass.

"Is that how you thank someone, with such indifference? Where has that fawning attitude you usually show me gone?"

Shi Qingqing’s coldness today, as if she were keeping everyone at arm’s length, bothered him. He did not like this feeling.

"I think it’s better for me to keep some distance from you, Young Master. You have a fiancée, after all. It might not be appropriate for me to be too enthusiastic, just to avoid any misunderstandings."

Zhan Su let out a cold snort. "Whether I have a fiancée or not is no reason for you to lose your temper with me. You have no right to do so!"

Zhan Su had always been accustomed to being overbearing; he spoke these words without the slightest awareness of how much they stung.

Shi Qingqing suddenly felt like laughing. Was she losing her temper? Perhaps.

But what did it matter to her if Zhan Su had a fiancée? She barely knew him; they had only met a few days ago. Why was she even having these thoughts? Whether she was indifferent or enthusiastic, what was the point?

There was no point. She had simply been overthinking. She had no right to lose her temper; she shouldn't even be unhappy.

Zhan Su’s harsh words, while biting, served as a reminder that cleared away her inexplicably chaotic emotions. Her rationality returned.

"You're right, Young Master Zhan. However, I agreed to be your maid for one hour a day at the Jindi International. Anywhere else, at any other time, I have nothing to do with you. As for what attitude I treat you with, that depends on my mood. Thank you."

Zhan Su’s dangerous eyes narrowed. He suddenly asked, "Are you that 'Red Packet Hero' who suddenly appeared in the group chat?"

He had an intuition that even if it wasn't her, it was definitely related to her. He recalled the time he tried to hack her phone, only to have his own system hacked in return... Of course, he had assumed back then that there was some other expert involved!

If Shi Qingqing really was this "Red Packet Hero," then everything would make sense. This Red Packet Hero was undoubtedly a hacker!

Shi Qingqing felt a flicker of panic. This was bad.

Her emotions had been too unstable just now, and she had blurted out the comment about his fiancée. She hadn't expected that while Zhan Su’s emotional intelligence might be lacking, his raw intellect was incredibly high.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Zhan Su stepped forward. "Take out your phone!"

Checking her phone was the quickest way to find out.

Shi Qingqing dared not produce it. She hadn't left the Fourth Young Master's chat group yet. The Red Packet System would only automatically exit once she left the range of the Red Packet Group, and since Zhan Su was right here, it wouldn't exit on its own. One look at the phone and her cover would be blown.

Shi Qingqing, of course, refused to comply. "I didn't bring my phone."

Zhan Su moved closer and closer, and Shi Qingqing backed away, step by step.
