The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 501 Jian Ning visits, apartment mobilization underway!
Sunday morning.

"Zhang Wei, Brother Wei, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Inside suite 3601, Zhang Wei sat on the sofa with a livid face, while his best friend Lu Ziqiao knelt beside him, "weeping bitterly."

"I'm a positive character, a positive character, I originally wanted to have a positive storyline!"

Lu Ziqiao's explanation actually made sense, because at the time he listened to what Tang Youyou and Guan Gu said and thought that Zhang Wei had been seduced by an old woman and was being drained of his yang energy.

As Zhang Wei's good brother and mentor, he would naturally go to great lengths for Zhang Wei at this moment.

Knowing that the other person was an old woman with a full head of white hair, Lu Ziqiao, in order to save Zhang Wei and to divert the old woman's attention, still resolutely went up to "harass" her...

Well... from this perspective alone, Lu Ziqiao is actually a positive character.

Who knew that the other party was Zhang Wei's future mother-in-law?!

But it's no use saying anything now. Even though Zhang Wei had listened to their explanations and was somewhat reassured, the thought of Jian Ning coming today made him feel like he was about to explode.

Looking at Lu Ziqiao putting on an act in front of him, Zhang Wei was furious: "So you're going to harass Jian Ning's mother?! She's coming over today. If she finds out that it's my friend who's harassing her mother, what will she think of me?"

"I……"

Realizing he had caused trouble, Lü Ziqiao was speechless for a moment, and in the end, he could only repeat the words he had said countless times without any confidence.

"It's a misunderstanding."

"I misunderstood you..."

Zhang Wei instinctively wanted to swear, but he forced himself to hold it back. His expression changed several times, and in the end, he could only slump against the sofa and stare at the ceiling.

In a daze, he seemed to see Jian Ning soon learning the truth, slapping him, and then angrily leaving, declaring the end of this budding relationship.

The suite wasn't just occupied by the two of them; everyone else was huddled there, too afraid to make a sound.

Everyone knows about Zhang Wei's situation, and everyone feels deep sympathy and... speechless.

Zhang Wei, that unlucky guy, finally found a girlfriend, but it looks like things are about to fall apart before they've even really started.

Hmm... her persona remains solid.

Tang Youyou and Guan Gu, who were standing on the other side, exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads apologetically.

"How about..." Tang Youyou thought for a moment and then said, "If no one says anything, Jian Ning has never met Zi Qiao and doesn't know who is harassing her mother."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei quickly chimed in, "Yes, Zhang Wei, it's no use scolding Ziqiao now. We need to think of a solution quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei hesitated. He felt that this method was indeed feasible, but thinking about his time with Jian Ning yesterday, he didn't want to deceive her.

Lu Ziqiao glanced at him, quickly dropped his acting act, and patted his chest, saying, "To make up for my mistake, I promise to introduce you to a few pretty girls after this is over."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately looked at Lü Ziqiao with eyes that looked at a pig's head.

Zhang Wei's face turned grim again after he had just calmed down a little.

Hu Yifei kicked Lu Ziqiao in the butt and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about! Are you trying to break them up?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry!" Lu Ziqiao realized and chuckled awkwardly, "It's a conditioned reflex, a conditioned reflex."

"No."

At this moment, Wen Sheng, who had been leaning against the refrigerator without saying a word, spoke up.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Wen Sheng added, "Although Jian Ning has never met Zi Qiao, her mother has. What if her mother has taken a picture?"

After all, in the original drama, Jian Ning recognized Lu Ziqiao through her mother's photo.

"This... shouldn't be the case, right?"

Tang Youyou lacked confidence.

Zeng Xiaoxian then supported Wen Sheng's point of view: "I think it's possible. Many girls take pictures of perverts after being harassed, and some even post them online."

“You said it yourself, that’s a girl. Louise is a… old lady,” Guan Gu Shenqi retorted.

"What's wrong with the old lady? Have you ever seen an old lady who's been divorced five times?"

"..."

The living room fell silent. Thinking about it, Louise wasn't exactly someone to be trifled with either.

Zhang Wei, whose face had just lit up with a glimmer of hope, instantly slumped back into dejection.

At this moment, Qin Yumo spoke up again: "Hey, why don't we let Ziqiao go out and hide, so that Jian Ning doesn't see him?"

As soon as the words were spoken, hope rekindled on the faces of the group.

“Oh, right!” Tang Youyou looked at Lu Ziqiao, “Nephew, you should go out and hide for a couple of days, and come back when things have calmed down.”

"Why should I? You were the ones who made me..."

Lu Ziqiao was instinctively unhappy, but seeing his aunt's gaze and Zhang Wei's distressed expression, he hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying:

"Okay, okay, I'll go hide away for a couple of days."

"But you can hide from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth."

At this point, the relationship talk show host Zeng Xiaoxian once again spoke up in a spoilsport tone: "She's Zhang Wei's girlfriend, and it's not like she's only coming this time. What if she comes again in the future? Besides, Ziqiao is hiding, and his room is still here. There's no way to erase his traces in such a short time. What if people ask about it?"

"..."

Great, now the living room is quiet again.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng sighed. He had no other way to help Zhang Wei in this predicament, or rather, his methods for dealing with this kind of situation were not applicable to this honest boy, Zhang Wei.

The crowd looked at each other, speechless for a moment, and could only watch in silence as despair gradually crept into Zhang Wei's eyes.

"If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, what should we do?"

Knowing that she had caused the accident, Tang Youyou scratched her head helplessly and said with a worried look, "After I found out about this yesterday, I was so worried that I lost a lot of hair. Zhang Wei, I'm really sorry, we didn't mean to!"

"Ugh!"

Zhang Wei, feeling utterly hopeless, looked up at the ceiling, as if he had suddenly lost all his energy.

"Jingle Bell!"

Just then, Zhang Wei's phone rang. He took it out and his face immediately lit up.

"Hey, Jian Ning!"

Upon seeing this, everyone in the apartment immediately fell silent, their eyes fixed on Zhang Wei, who was answering the phone.

"Are you getting ready to leave?"

As soon as Zhang Wei said this, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and Zhang Wei himself began to sweat.

"Yes, we agreed on this yesterday. It's convenient, so how could it not be? I'll go downstairs to the bar and wait for you now."

"Okay, bye-bye, see you later!"

After forcing a smile, Zhang Wei hung up the phone, but his face immediately fell again.

He looked up at everyone, his expression anxious, and said, "Jian Ning has already set off, what should we do?"

"Zhang Wei, don't worry, we'll help you explain to your girlfriend later."

Seeing how anxious he was, Qin Yumo couldn't help but comfort him.

"explain……"

This desperate measure had become Zhang Wei's last lifeline.

"Zhang Wei, although there was a reason for this, I really feel bad for you. When your girlfriend gets here later, beat me up to help her vent her anger!"

At this moment, Lu Ziqiao patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said.

Of all the people in the apartment, he knew best how difficult it was for Zhang Wei to find a girlfriend. Back when he took Zhang Wei out to pick up girls, he got splashed with wine every time he saw one.

He doesn't look stupid, but in this respect he's just like Hu Yifei's silly younger brother.

As a member of the underworld, Lu Ziqiao knew that what goes around comes around. He had previously used Zhang Wei's name to cause trouble and had tricked Zhang Wei many times. Now, at this crucial moment, he had to show loyalty.

“Ziqiao…”

Looking at his good brother, Zhang Wei's previous anger had dissipated considerably.

"Never mind, I'd better explain it to Jian Ning properly."

After a pause, Zhang Wei sighed again: "I hope she can listen to me."

"Wait!" Just then, Hu Yifei suddenly spoke up. She looked at Zhang Wei, and finally fixed her gaze on Lu Ziqiao and laughed.

"I have a plan!"

……

Half an hour later, at the entrance of Lonely Corner Bar.

Zhang Wei paced back and forth anxiously, glancing up at the intersection every now and then, but his mind kept replaying the method Hu Yifei had just suggested.

He always felt it was unreliable, but time was of the essence and he couldn't think of any other way.

But... the thought of deceiving Jian Ning filled him with guilt.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, a Jeep BJ212 stopped in front of him.

"Zhang Wei!"

The car window rolled down, revealing the face Zhang Wei had been longing for.

"Jian Ning?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the other person, and then at the huge vehicle in front of him that was completely out of place with Jian Ning's temperament. He asked in surprise, "Is this your car?"

"Yeah, isn't that cool!"

Jian Ning blinked and then smiled, "Because I need to go to remote areas with bad road conditions when I'm doing archaeological work, I can only drive this kind of off-road vehicle."

"That's it."

Zhang Wei suddenly realized what was going on, then smiled and nodded: "Cool, really cool!"

Although he had been flustered and confused, his mood suddenly calmed down after actually seeing Jian Ning.

"Get in the car, I'll take you for a spin around and then we'll go to your apartment," the girl in the jeep invited Zhang Wei.

Around noon, the rain that had fallen all night had stopped, and sunlight streamed through the dark clouds. Zhang Wei looked up at Jian Ning in front of him, and the sunlight fell in a halo around the girl's head, reflecting in his eyes.

Unlike the intellectual and gentle demeanor of the girl a few days ago, at this moment, Jian Ning, sitting in this off-road vehicle full of "veteran" spirit, is like a female knight riding a steed on the grassland.

She trod across the lush, boundless grassland, with the everlasting sky chasing after her. The girl cracked her whip in mid-air, arriving like a gust of wind beside the refined lawyer. With eyes clearer than the blue sky and prouder than an eagle's, she gazed at the "thin" boy and said:

"Hey kid, wanna come with me to conquer the world?"

Zhang Wei didn't know if he could conquer the world with her, he only knew that at this moment, he had been completely conquered by her.

"it is good."

So Zhang Wei rode behind her... no, he sat in the passenger seat.

The engine roared, like the neigh of a galloping horse, carrying the two of them as they sped away across the steel grassland.

Along the way, they cast aside all their unhappiness and simply enjoyed the sound of the wind whistling past their ears.

The once intellectual and gentle archaeologist is no longer intellectual and gentle, and the lawyer who harbors cowardice in his heart is no longer cowardly.

"Alas!"

The moist air after the rain was inhaled into their lungs as they laughed; at that moment, they were simply riders sharing a wild horse.

After an unknown amount of time, the Jeep slowly drove into the Wenhua Jiayuan residential area and stopped next to Zeng Xiaoxian's Xiali, which used to be white but is now gray.

"Attorney Zhang, how was the drive?"

After parking the car, Jian Ning didn't rush to get out. Instead, she turned to Zhang Wei, who was fixing his hair, and asked him with a smile.

"Cool!"

Zhang Wei answered without hesitation.

"I'll take you for a drive another time."

Upon hearing Jian Ning's words, Zhang Wei's expression froze. He hadn't noticed the other information hidden in Jian Ning's words, but when he heard the word "later," he immediately thought of what had happened in the apartment earlier.

Do we even have a future?

This isn't the right question to ask right now. The other person came here so that he could announce to his friends that this girl is his girlfriend!
Meeting the other person's smiling eyes, Zhang Wei composed himself and asked with a smile, "Why didn't I see you drive here before?"

"Weren't you going to drive me on our date? I'll let you show off then."

After saying that, a barely perceptible hint of unease appeared on Jian Ning's smile: "Today is a rare opportunity, I'd like to take you for a drive."

I don't know when I'll get another chance like this.

After suppressing something in her heart, Jian Ning opened the car door and smiled, "Let's go, let's go see your apartment."

"okay."

……

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door of room 3601.

"coming."

Hu Yifei, who was already prepared, opened the door and saw Zhang Wei and his girlfriend Jian Ning standing there.

"Zhang Wei, who is this?"

Zhang Wei smiled, took Jian Ning's hand, and walked in. He then smiled at Tang Youyou, who was sitting on the sofa pretending to watch TV, and Wen Sheng, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen.
"Let me introduce you all, this is my girlfriend, Jian Ning."

"Jian Ning, this is Hu Yifei."

Having regained her intellectual and gentle demeanor, Jian Ning smiled shyly at Hu Yifei and said, "Hello, Teacher Hu. Zhang Wei mentioned you to me, saying that you are a knowledgeable and beautiful teacher."

Unlike the original drama, because Wen Sheng exposed the matter in advance, Jian Ning's visit was no longer unexpected, and Zhang Wei was no longer foolishly silent, but had done his homework in advance.

Wen Sheng once said that the residents of the two suites in Love Apartment, apart from the handsome men and beautiful women, were generally a high-quality group. Although their professions were diverse, apart from Lu Ziqiao, everyone else was quite respectable.

Regardless of whether Lu Ziqiao will trigger that bomb, at least this first impression should make Jian Ning feel that her boyfriend's friends are all well-mannered.

Although Wen Sheng hadn't thought of any other methods, he had told Zhang Wei the night before that he could talk to Jian Ning about it.

Hearing Jian Ning's words, Hu Yifei was overjoyed and quickly pulled Jian Ning to sit down on the sofa.

"It's rare to hear Zhang Wei praise me like this, but I did hear him mention that his girlfriend is a beautiful archaeologist and a great writer."

Listening to the two people's business flattery, Zhang Wei raised his eyelids and quickly introduced her to Jian Ning: "This is Youyou."

"My name is Tang Youyou, and I welcome you to be my guest."

Looking at Zhang Wei's legitimate girlfriend in front of her, Tang Youyou, feeling guilty, took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Jian Ning smiled as she accepted the tea. "Officer Deng in 'Reversal Hero,' you acted so well."

"Haha, really? Thank you for the compliment."

Then Zhang Wei looked at Wen Sheng, who was walking over wearing a scarf, and smiled at Jian Ning, saying, "This is Wen Sheng."

"Hello, Zhang Wei told me that you are his good older brother and take good care of him."

Unlike her polite smiles towards Hu Yifei and Tang Youyou earlier, Jian Ning looked at Wen Sheng with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Is this the kind of man that makes Cyndi happy even if she just wants to get a little closer to him?

The Kamen Rider that Cyndi Wang mentioned?
Thinking of Xinling, Jian Ning felt she should contact her later, wondering if Xinling had moved into Love Apartment yet.

"We are all good friends, so it's only right that we take care of each other."

After a pause, Wen Sheng smiled and said, "Welcome, please make yourself at home. The food will be ready soon."

"Thank you."

Jian Ning nodded, glanced around the suite, and then suddenly remembered something. She asked Zhang Wei, "By the way, Zhang Wei, didn't you say you had a few good friends?"

"Oh, they're all next door." Zhang Wei's heart tightened; he knew a dangerous moment was about to arrive.

I wonder if they're ready?
"I, I'll take you to meet them."

Just as Zhang Wei's palms began to sweat, Hu Yifei quickly said, "They're here."

As soon as they finished speaking, the group turned to look at the balcony, where four people from the next room walked over.

A stunningly beautiful woman in black stockings, a tall, handsome man with glasses, a short, handsome man with small eyes and short legs, and—

A handsome guy with a shaved head.
