地震时怎样保护自己

That includes Lu Weixi. She intentionally moved in with Qin Zhiyou to piss off Qin Zhigu.

But now, whether she succeeded in pissing him off or not was debatable, but she certainly managed to put herself in a tough spot. Qin Zhigu’s room was right next to hers—it was constant interaction. Whenever Qin Zhiyou was around, things were bearable since he helped her avoid most awkward situations. But without him, she always felt uneasy.

She really didn’t want to have any sort of relationship with Qin Zhigu anymore, good or bad. But Qin Zhigu and Qin Zhiyou were brothers, and even if Zhigu got married, he would still bring his wife back to the big house. It was just a giant pool of discomfort waiting to happen.

Also, at this point, Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei were already up. Downstairs in the dining room, Qin Zhizha was languidly eating his breakfast while yawning. Seeing Lu Weixi, he smiled, “Ayo, sister-in-law’s up. Big brother’s not here, only second brother is.”

Lu Weixi shrugged him off, not even caring to pick up breakfast as she hurried towards the garage. But as soon as she pulled the car out, it broke down.

Now that’s a bad day, raining when the roof was leaking. Just as she was in a bind, her phone rang. It was Xiaochen, “Lu, where are you? We have a client meeting at noon, did you forget about it?”

How could she forget? It was because of the meeting that she was in such a hurry.

The client was a bit of a pain; he had kicked up a fuss over minor issues in the past. She had taken up this task before, and now it was almost time for delivery. She couldn’t make any mistakes at this final stage. She said, “I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to the office. Bring the client’s files with you. I’m going straight to his place.”

She tried to start the car again, but it wouldn’t budge.

At this point, a properly packed Qin Zhigu, and the already breakfasted Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei stepped out. Qin Zhimei spoke, “Please move your car. What a racket it is, it’s ruining our reputation.”

Qin Zhigu approached, worry evident on his face, “Is there an issue with your car? If so, you can ride mine.”

A bit anxious, Lu Weixi didn’t even bother to respond as she opened a ride­hailing app. Although the Qin mansion was not as remote as the West Mountain villa, the area was mostly filled with upscale residences, and not even a shared- ride was available.

Checking the time, it was half past ten. She and the client had agreed to meet at half past eleven. If she were late, a lecture would be inevitable.

While Qin Zhiyou kept a spare car here, it was useless as she didn’t have the keys.

Seeing the sweat trickling from her forehead, Qin Zhigu understood her predicament, “Where do you need to go? I can drop you off.”

Qin Zhizha chuckled, “Sister-in-law, come, ride in my car. You’ve ridden both my elder and second brother’s cars but never mine. Isn’t that unfair? Even if you’re just going to work, I can give you a ride.”

Uninterested in arguing and with no time to spare, Qin Zhigu, more anxious than she, said, “It’s just a ride, I…just want to help.”

With her phone buzzing with calls, Lu Weixi reluctantly opened Qin Zhigu’s car door and hopped in, buckling her seatbelt. Qin Zhigu quickly instructed the serving staff to repair her car, hopped into the driver’s seat, and started the engine.

Little did Lu Weixi, who had just settled into the car, realize that she would soon run into Qin Zhiyou.
