"Brother Qin Chen is also great!" Zhou Zhibi retorted.
Mrs. Zhou firmly rejected the idea: "No way! Qin Chen's family conditions are far too poor; he'll never be able to provide you with any support in the future! If you're going to find someone, you should look for someone like your Brother Lu Wei..."
Zhou Zhibi fell into a stubborn silence, clearly unmoved by her mother's suggestion.
Mrs. Zhou grew anxious—partly angry at her daughter's willfulness, and partly because her cousin had just called, saying he and Bureau Chief Qian had been secretly photographed by two girls while in the car. She was worried and had rushed over to help him find them. If those two girls were from the media, they needed to be located quickly and paid off to keep quiet...
Mrs. Zhou scanned her surroundings irritably, no longer bothering with her daughter's nagging.
But Zhou Zhibi was fixated on her own little happiness, tugging at her mother and pleading: "Mom, just agree, okay? I don't care about being a young lady of the Zhou family, I don't want any inheritance, I only like Qin Chen. Let me be with him..."
Mrs. Zhou finally lost her temper: "Zhibi! Shut up! I've done so much for you, and you think you can just decide what you want?! If you insist on going your own way, I'll immediately stop the treatment for Qin Chen's mother!"
Zhou Zhibi was stunned: "Mom, you can't do that!"
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly: "Then you'd better behave!"
Zhou Zhibi burst into tears: "Mom, I hate you! I hate you! I hate the Zhou family—"
Her voice was bitter and sharp, stirring a flicker of sympathy in Qiqi's heart—Little girl, little girl, could I have misjudged you? Your feelings for Qin Chen are genuine after all...
Sigh—
She let out a silent sigh.
But the little girl's next move immediately left Gu Qiqi dumbfounded, her sympathy vanishing, replaced by a mix of sorrow and resentment—
Zhou Zhibi, enraged by the rejection, lost control of her emotions! She suddenly lunged at the electrical room door, crying and pounding on it with all her might, as if trying to vent her inner fury!
But, but, Gu Qiqi's bag held the Moon's Guide! That jade pendant seemed unable to withstand Zhou Zhibi's piercing cries, and suddenly erupted with an unparalleled white light!! The light pierced through the bag, through the electrical room, through everything it could penetrate, illuminating the entire electrical room like a cosmic explosion! It even lit up the entire parking lot as bright as day!!!
Oh my god!! The Moon Gem had appeared!!
It was on Zhou Zhibi!!!
But the problem was that the sudden burst of the Moon's Guide had also exposed Qiqi and her companion's hiding spot.
Zhuang Ruotong's face turned pale, gripped by the fear of being discovered and implicating her father. She whispered urgently: "Qiqi, what's in your bag?"
Qiqi's face was also pale, but from the light of the Moon's Guide.
The Moon's Guide, true to its role as the catalyst for the Moon Gem and a sacred artifact of the demon clan that had absorbed the moon's essence, now emitted light as intense as a laser, leaving Qiqi scrambling to cover it, unable to contain it.
"This is my... laser pointer. Damn it."
Qiqi immediately realized Zhuang Ruotong's predicament—she was about to be ruined by her.
"Give me your camera, along with the headscarf and glasses."
Without time to explain further, Qiqi snatched Zhuang Ruotong's gear, hastily put it on herself, and whispered: "Stay hidden inside. I'll go distract them now. Once you're clear, go find Hu An in the security department immediately. He's one of us and will help you."
