Chapter 1: Revenge for Each Other

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

It was early in the morning. Qiao Sisi was aching from head to toe. She rolled over with hangover aches and blinked. She saw a handsome face like that of a supermodel. Yes, he is really handsome. Well¡­ he looks familiar. Mm¡­ mm¡­ mm¡­ Why is it him!?she wondered. Qiao Sisi sat up abruptly in fear. She widened her eyes and pulled closer to look at him. Instantly she rolled off the bed. Damn it, damn it. What an unlucky year. How could it be this person??she thought. Sitting by the bed and looking at the man sleeping beside her, Qiao Sisi finally remembered what happenedst night. Yesterday was her boyfriend¡¯s birthday. She wanted to give him a surprise but she did not expect to catch him having an affair. So she asked her best friend to go to the bar for drinks. She could not remember what happened after that. She vaguely remembered that she was drunk and Chen Anna shoved her to a man. To put it nicely, she was making use of a handsome man to forget about the scumbag. Looking at Zheng Zeyi, who was lying on the bed, Qiao Sisi waspletely dumbfounded. Could it be that she had identally slept with Zheng Zeyist night?! Shocked by the recollection, Qiao Sisi looked everywhere for her clothes. After putting them on, she rushed out the door. ...... She sneaked into the elevator like a thief, her long hair covering her face. It was still early. Other than the service staff, there was no one in the elevator. As soon as she entered the elevator, she received a call from Chen Anna, ¡°Baby, how was the battlest night?¡± ¡°How about it?¡± Qiao Sisi wanted to cry. ¡°Chen Anna, that was such a great idea. I will never think of Zeng Qing again in my lifetime.¡± Chen Anna was surprised, but then she smiled ambiguously and said, ¡°So effective. Looks like the other party has done a good job!¡± ¡°Do you know who he is?¡± Qiao Sisi wished she could go back tost night and beat up Chen Anna. ¡°Who is he?¡± Chen Anna smiled cunningly. ¡°Is he your ex-boyfriend?¡± ¡°He¡¯s Zheng Zeyi!¡± Like a cat, Qiao Sisi began to w on the elevator door, producing a screeching sound. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Zhang Zeyi!¡± ¡­ After a short silence, a crazy scream came from the other end of the phone. ¡°I¡¯m dying, I¡¯m dying. The Zheng Zeyi you¡¯re talking about¡ªcould it be Yang Yueyue, that little slut¡¯s cousin, the young master of the Zheng Corporation?¡± Qiao Sisi sighed and left the elevator dejectedly. ¡°Yes.¡± Chen Anna screamed again, almost breaking the roof. ¡°Stop screaming. What should I do?!¡± Qiao Sisi covered her face and felt like jumping into the river. Chen Anna tried her best to remain calm and said, ¡°Come back and pack your things. I¡¯ll book a ne ticket for you now. We¡¯ll talk about revengeter. Qiao Sisi, now, immediately, right away, run for your life.¡± The two of them could not be faulted for exaggerating. It was really because Zheng Zeyi was someone they could not afford to offend. Moreover, there was a lot of bad blood between Yang Yueyue and Qiao Sisi. Whenever Yang Yueyue mentioned Qiao Sisi, she gritted her teeth, wishing she could skin her alive. In other words, wherever Yang Yueyue was, Qiao Sisi could not exist. As Yang Yueyue¡¯s cousin, Zheng Zeyi was practically aiding the wicked. In university, Yang Yueyue and Qiao Sisipeted for a spot in a postgraduate program. Yang Yueyue was clearly inferior to Qiao Sisi in every way, but because of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s influence, not only did Qiao Sisi lose her postgraduate spot, she could not find a job in H City and could only go north to A City. Thinking about it now, Qiao Sisi felt wronged. It was not that she had not thought of seeking revenge, but the other party was formidable. She¡ªa poor student who had just graduated¡ªhad no money or evidence. How could she fight with the other party? Moreover, her mother was seriously ill then and she urgently needed money, so she had to go to work in A City to support her mother. ¡°Listen to me. Fortunately, he is quite handsome. Just take it that you slept with a free gigolo. Don¡¯t ever mention this incident. If Yang Yueyue finds out, she will make things difficult for you.¡± Chen Anna consoled Qiao Sisi and advised her not to worry. ¡°Yes, I know. I¡¯ll take it that whatever trouble Yang Yueyue had caused me back then, her cousin had paid off her debts. I won¡¯t take it too hard.¡± When one was helpless, one had to be realistic. The two of them chatted for a while before Qiao Sisi boarded the ne and returned to A City. She had just reached her apartment when she received a call from her stepmother. ¡°Qiao Sisi,e back quickly. Something happened to your dad.¡± Stepmother Liu Yun¡¯s tone was very anxious, as if the world had copsed. Qiao Sisi instinctively asked, ¡°What about my dad?¡± ¡°Your dad was in a car ident and is now in the emergency ward. Come back quickly, or it will be toote.¡± When Qiao Sisi heard this, she did not have time to think carefully and rushed off to the high-speed rail station. When Zheng Zeyi woke up, he did not see the woman fromst night. He got out of bed and pressed a number on thendline phone in the room. ¡°Pick up Manager Han.¡± Soon Manager Han rushed to the presidential suite and handed the surveince footage fromst night to this morning to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°CEO Zheng, is there anything wrong? Do you need us to call the police?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and said, ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just looking for someone.¡± Manager Han knew that he did not want him to ask too much and immediately left with the waiter. After the rest had left, he turned on hisputer and plugged in the sh drive. When he saw the woman leave frantically, as if she was being chased by a ghost, his lips curled into an enigmatic smile. Ah, so the little kitty was scared. He touched the screen and saw Qiao Sisi¡¯s profile. He recalled the beautiful night before which left him longing for her. He took out his phone and called his assistant. ¡°Andy, help me investigate someone. Find out everything about her.¡± Qiao Sisi took the nearest high-speed rail back to Freshwater Town. Just as she stepped out of the station, she saw her second uncle waiting for her outside. ¡°Second Uncle, why are you here?¡± ¡°Sister-inw asked me to take you back first.¡± Second Uncle helped to carry her luggage into the car and they drove off. ¡°Second Uncle, how¡¯s dad?¡± She hade in a hurry and did not have time to ask about the situation. After that, her stepmother¡¯s phone kept ringing but she could not get through to her at all. She became even more anxious. ¡°Your dad¡¯s condition is getting better. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Second Uncle told her as he was driving. Qiao Sisi felt that something was wrong and quickly asked him, ¡°This isn¡¯t the way to the hospital. Where are we going?¡± ¡°Ah, home, of course,¡± Second Uncle said matter-of-factly. ¡°No, let¡¯s go to the hospital immediately. I¡¯m worried about dad.¡± Qiao Sisi thought that her second uncle was worried that she would be tired and wanted her to take a rest first. However, Second Uncle did not dare to look at her. He just kept looking at the highway. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your stepmother is in the hospital. Let¡¯s put away your luggage first.¡± Qiao Sisi became even more doubtful and said worriedly, ¡°Second Uncle, are you guys hiding something from me?¡± ¡°How is that possible? What are you thinking? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll be tired after sitting in the car for hours.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Qiao Sisi felt that something was wrong but could not think of what it was. ¡°Of course. Your second auntie has already cooked lunch at home.¡± After saying that, Second Uncle ignored her and continued driving. Twenty minutester, the car stopped at a small farmhouse. Second Uncle enthusiastically helped to get her luggage out of the car and led her into the house. Qiao Sisi followed him into the house and saw her father, who was supposed to be in the hospital, sitting on a brick bed. Her stepmother, Liu Yun, stood up with her father and greeted her with a smile. ¡°Sisi is back? Come quickly, it¡¯s time for lunch.¡± Qiao Sisi, on the other hand, felt an inexplicable sense of fear. Something strange was going on. She immediately recalled her stepmother¡¯s previous scheme against her and took a few steps back. ¡°Dad, are you alright?¡± Her father looked a little embarrassed to see her. ¡°Well¡­ Well¡­¡± Chapter 2

¡°Aiyo, look at your daughter. She looks as though we¡¯ve done something to her.¡± Liu Yun smiled sarcastically and looked at Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng smiled awkwardly. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t be angry. I was involved in a car ident some time ago and sustained some injuries. I¡¯ve almost recovered now. That¡¯s why I asked you toe back.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Qiao Sisi did not believe him. Her father was a selfish man who loved to take advantage of others. In her mother¡¯s words, if he had the chance to take advantage of others, he would definitely do so. After he cheated on her mother with Liu Yun, her mother could no longer tolerate him. She divorced him and left with Qiao Sisi. All these years, when Qiao Sisi was in trouble, her father, Qiao Feng could not be found. But whenever he was in trouble, he would definitely look for her. When Qiao Sisi returned, she knew she would be treated like an ATM machine. After all, he was her only family member now. If he really died, at least she had done her best. But now this person actually said that he did not want to trouble her, so he did not inform her of his ident right away? She did not believe him! ¡°Look at you, girl. Your birthday is around the corner, and I called you back so that I can celebrate your birthday with you.¡± Qiao Fengughed, but he could not dispel her doubts. Just as Qiao Sisi was about to question him, Zhao Hai¡¯er pushed away the curtain and walked in. When she saw Qiao Sisi, she sneered. ¡°Oh, the university student is back?¡± She was the stepdaughter Liu Yun had brought along. Qiao Sisi had never gotten along with her, so she naturally did not smile when she saw her. ...... ¡°Dad, if you¡¯re fine, I¡¯ll go back. I still have work tomorrow.¡± She turned to leave, but the door was shut by her second uncle. Qiao Sisi was stunned. ¡°Second Uncle, what do you mean?¡± Second Uncle did not say anything and looked at Qiao Feng. ¡°Dad?¡± There was a troubled look on Qiao Feng¡¯s honest face. Liu Yun pinched him angrily. Zhao Hai¡¯er gloated. ¡°You still don¡¯t know, right? Our dad has arranged a marriage for you. He tricked you intoing back this time to get married.¡± Qiao Sisi thought that there was something wrong with her ears. She looked at Qiao Feng in disbelief. ¡°Dad, is she speaking the truth?¡± Zhao Hai¡¯er grabbed a bunch of melon seeds and started munching as she watched the show. Seeing that Zhao Hai¡¯er had said it, Qiao Feng could not back down. He merely said, ¡°Sisi, Dad is doing this for your own good. Although the other party is a little old, you¡¯re not young anymore, right? He is only willing to marry you on the ount that you¡¯re a university student. He even agreed to give 500 thousand yuan as a gift!¡± She was only 28 years old. How was she old? Qiao Sisi was furious. Besides, whether she was old or not had nothing to do with him. ¡°Why should you decide my marriage?¡± ¡°Who can make decisions if I don¡¯t? I¡¯m your dad.¡± Seeing that she wasn¡¯t listening, Qiao Feng instantly dropped his pretense and said in a stern voice, ¡°Let me tell you, you have to get married. Even if you don¡¯t want to, you have to. I¡¯ve epted the deposit. You¡¯ll get married tomorrow.¡± Qiao Sisi was so angry that sheughed. ¡°Bullsh*t! I¡¯m not getting married. Second Uncle, get out of my way or I¡¯ll call the police.¡± As she spoke, she took out her phone, but Qiao Feng snatched it away, threw it on the floor, and stomped on it. ¡°You¡¯ve really grown up. You don¡¯t listen to me anymore. No. 2, lock her up and wait for them to pick her up tomorrow.¡± Caught off guard, Qiao Sisi had her phone snatched away. Three to four people tied her up and left her in the room. She was so angry that she kept crying, but her mouth was gagged, and she could not even shout. ¡°Hai¡¯er, you¡¯ve worked hard all day. Just keep an eye on her today and send her over tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright, dad. You can¡¯t go back on your word.¡± Zhao Hai¡¯er rubbed her hands and smiled greedily. Liu Yun tapped her forehead and sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll get your share of the benefits.¡± The few of them left, leaving only Zhao Hai¡¯er and Qiao Sisi in the house. Zhao Hai¡¯er took out her phone to watch television while munching on melon seeds. Qiao Sisi kicked her angrily. Zhao Hai¡¯er was kicked off the bed. She got up and gave her a p. ¡°B*tch, why are you being unreasonable? After tomorrow, you¡¯ll be married to Fatty Jiang in town. After that, you¡¯ll be locked at home every day and you are to bear him a son!¡± ¡°Fatty Jiang?¡± Qiao Sisi was shocked. That Fatty Jiang was even older than her father. He used to be a local hooligan in town and had defiled many girls. Later, he offended someone and escaped overseas. A few years ago, she heard that he somehow became rich and came back to settle down. He set up a karaoke lounge that was filled with people from all walks of life. This man married three wives and ended up with only a daughter. He vowed to have a son, so he chased away his wives who could not bear him a son. Her father actually wanted to force her to marry such a person. She was about to go crazy! Qiao Sisi was furious and red at Zhao Hai¡¯er. Zhao Hai¡¯er sneered. ¡°What are you ring at? You used to look down on me because you are a university student. So what if you look down on me? Aren¡¯t you being sold out by your dad now?¡± She thought of something and leaned over insidiously. She said sarcastically, ¡°Let me tell you, once your dad gets the money, part of it is for Qiao Lei to marry a wife, and he has promised to give me 100 thousand yuan for my dowry.¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s tears flowed uncontrobly. This was her biological father. Back then, he let her mother down and cheated on her with a mistress. Her mother was so angry that she divorced him. When she was leaving, he even mocked her mother, saying that she could not have a son and that she was a hen that did noty eggs. Her mother had gritted her teeth and raised Qiao Sisi by herself. But she passed away before Sisi could repay her. Qiao Sisi had regarded her father as herst family member. So no matter what, she woulde back to visit him during Chinese New Year and give him some money. All these years, he had been using all sorts of excuses to borrow money from her. Now he was selling her to an old man who had divorced thrice. Mom, you¡¯re right. Dad is not human. I should have listened to you and not have delusions. Zhao Hai¡¯er was in a good mood after she saw Qiao Sisi crying. She picked up her phone and began to eat the melon seeds. Qiao Sisi leaned against the wall, her tears flowing uncontrobly. At night, Qiao Sisi did not even eat. Seeing this, Zhao Hai¡¯er mocked her, ¡°It¡¯s true, soon you¡¯ll have delicacies every day. Of course, you won¡¯t fancy our family¡¯s pig food.¡± With that, she threw away the cutlery and went out. Qiao Sisi stared at the cutlery in front of her and fell into deep thought. In the night, Zhao Hai¡¯er was sound asleep and did not notice Qiao Sisi in the corner. She secretly loosened her rope and tied Zhao Hai¡¯er up. Then she took her phone and climbed out of the window. However, just as she reached the door, she bumped into Liu Yun, who saw her wearing Zhao Hai¡¯er¡¯s clothes. She said, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping in the middle of the night?¡± Qiao Sisi said uncertainly, ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I¡¯m looking for something to eat.¡± Liu Yun sneered. ¡°Eat less. If you gain weight, we¡¯re not sure if you can get married.¡± With her back to Liu Yun, Qiao Sisi walked to the kitchen. Liu Yun went to the toilet and did not think much of it. Qiao Sisi waited until there was no movement or sound before she went out the front door. When no one was looking, she found a bicycle in the yard and rode away. Chapter 3

The next morning, around 7:00 am, someone knocked anxiously on the door of the courtyard. Qiao Feng came out of the toilet and rushed to open the door. The moment he opened it, the person outside pushed him and he almost fell. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on? It¡¯s so early in the morning.¡± The boorish man did not exin but opened the door. A person entered. He was bald, had a gold chain, and was less than 1.7 meters tall. He took off his sunsses and nced disdainfully around the courtyard. ¡°Qiao Feng, where¡¯s your daughter?¡± When Qiao Feng saw that it was Fatty Jiang, his anger was instantly quelled as he fawned, ¡°Yo, son-inw, you¡¯re here so early. Isn¡¯t it 9 o¡¯clock for picking up the bride? Sisi is still sleeping in her room and hasn¡¯t woken up!¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t woken up?¡± Fatty Jiang had a look of disdain. ¡°I think she has run away! Go look for her!¡± ¡°Hey, what are you doing!¡± Liu Yun came out after putting on her clothes. When she saw this scene, she immediately said anxiously, ¡°Boss Jiang, what do you mean?¡± Fatty Jiang ignored Liu Yun and walked into the house. When he stopped at Qiao Sisi¡¯s room, the door was locked. ¡°Break it!¡± Fatty Jiang had no patience at all. As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man behind him kicked hard, and the flimsy door instantly cracked. They rushed into the room and saw someone lying under the nket. Fatty Jiang lifted the nket and saw the tied-up woman. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ...... Liu Yun saw the woman¡¯s back and immediately went forward to exin, ¡°Aiyo, Boss Jiang, as you know, Sisi is a little shy. We were afraid that we would ruin your marriage, so we tied her up to avoid any hups.¡± Fatty Jiang was not a fool. When he was young, he had been involved in all sorts of things. He knew that thisdy was unwilling to marry him and that was why her family tied her up. Originally, Fatty Jiang did not care about such things. After all, he had given the money, so she would have to marry him. However, he received a call in the morning informing him the Qiao family was nning to take his money and run away. They did not intend to marry their daughter to him. As such, he had rushed over early in the morning to stop them! He was surprised that she was still around. Just as he was feeling puzzled, a siren sounded outside. Then a few police officers entered the house. Qiao Feng panicked. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Someone called the police to report that you guys have abducted a woman. We¡¯vee to investigate.¡± The policeman saw that there were many people in the house and instinctively walked in. Liu Yun was caught off guard and could not prevent the policemen from seeing the unconscious woman tied to the bed, as well as the suspect, Fatty Jiang. ¡°Outrageous! you¡¯re really audacious to be engaged in trafficking of women. Since you¡¯re caught red-handed,e with me to the police station.¡± And the policeman took out his handcuffs to arrest him. No matter how overbearing Fatty Jiang was, he did not dare to be unreasonable in front of the police. He said hastily, ¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding, it¡¯s all a misunderstanding. I¡¯m engaged to their daughter. I¡¯m here to receive the bride today, not to abduct a woman.¡± The policeman did not believe him. ¡°Would anyone tie a bride up for marriage? What medicine did you drug the woman with? She¡¯s still unconscious¡­¡± Just then, Zhao Hai¡¯er woke up. She turned around and realized that she could not move, so she hurriedly called out for her mom. When Liu Yun saw her face, she was stunned. ¡°Damn girl, it¡¯s you. Where¡¯s Qiao Sisi?¡± Fatty Jiang was stunned. Of course he knew Zhao Hai¡¯er. She was not the person he wanted to marry. Everyone in town knew that this girl waszy. ¡°Qiao Feng, what¡¯s going on? You epted my betrothal gift. Where is she?¡± Qiao Feng was also dumbfounded. Last night, it was clearly Qiao Sisi who was at home! He looked at Zhao Hai¡¯er. ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°How¡­ How would I know!¡± Zhao Hai¡¯er felt wronged. Yesterday, she had been waiting excitedly to see Qiao Sisi suffer. Now that she was gone, wouldn¡¯t her dowry be gone too? When the policeman heard this, he sneered. ¡°Looks like you guys have quite a lot of exining to do. In that case,e with me.¡± With that, he rounded up the group of people and brought them into the police car. After the onlookers had dispersed, Qiao Sisi entered the house. She found her luggage and identity card and left without hesitation. After she escaped the night before, the more Qiao Sisi thought about it, the angrier she got. Coupled with the fact that her identity card was still in the house, she was unwilling to leave just like that. After spending the night at an inte cafe in town, Qiao Sisi made two calls at dawn. One call was made to Fatty Jiang to inform him that the Qiao family was nning to cheat him of his money and make an escape. Another call was made to the police to report Fatty Jiang and Qiao Feng¡¯s family for engaging in abducting women. The transaction would be carried out today. After a round of reports, the police indeed arrested them. As for what would happen to them, Qiao Sisi did not care. She got into the high-speed rail car and decided to cut ties with Qiao Feng from now on. Her mother was right to insist on a divorce back then and move out of the household register. After riding on the train for four to five hours, Qiao Sisi finally returned to A City. She hurriedly went to buy a new phone and fixed her phone card, and noticed she had a series of missed calls. The calls were from her colleague, Miaomiao. Puzzled, Qiao Sisi made a call. Before she could speak, Miaomiao warned her, ¡°Sister, why did you only answer your phone now? Something serious has happened.¡± Qiao Sisi said weakly, ¡°What happened? I¡¯m on leave!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still in the mood to take a break? Hurry up and check thepany¡¯s official website. It¡¯s all about you. Did you offend someone?¡± Miaomiao whispered and quickly hung up. Feeling uneasy, she turned on herputer and logged into thepany¡¯s forum. She was dumbfounded. ¡°Tearing down a white-cor woman you don¡¯t know about. Instead of being a decent person, she chose to be a mistress.¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s hands trembled as she read on. The content said that the original poster had a best friend who was engaged to be married to her boyfriend. In the end, she found out that her boyfriend was actually hooking up with a white-cor woman. This person was none other than Qiao Sisi. The ¡®mistress¡¯ in the thread was substituted with QSS, but information about the mistress¡¯ Weibo, her workce, and herpany all pointed to Qiao Sisi. What was more infuriating was that the boyfriend mentioned was Zeng Qing. Zeng Qing was an innocent man who had been seduced. She had be a third party who was hated by everyone. Then who is the first wife??she wondered. Just then, the phone rang. It was Chen Anna. ¡°Sisi, something serious has happened. You would never have thought that the b*tch who hooked up with Zeng Qing was actually Yang Yueyue¡¯s best friend, Zhang Li.¡± Qiao Sisi felt like she was about to have a nervous breakdown.?What the f*ck is going on!?she thought. As the victim herself, she had yet to defend herself. Instead, the perpetrator had maligned her. To make the matter worse, she soon received a notification from thepany that it intended to fire her, given the negative impact she had caused. After working for five years, thepany had always emphasized that it treated its employees like a family, and had shown all kinds of considerations when the staff worked overtime. But it changed its attitude immediately when something bad happened. That was really too much! ¡°Sisi, say something. Don¡¯t be like this. I¡¯m scared.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s worried voice came from the other end of the phone. Qiao Sisi took a deep breath and said, ¡°Nana, I¡¯ll go to H City tomorrow.¡± Chapter 4

¡°Everything is clear. Yang Yueyue did it.¡± Chen Anna handed Qiao Sisi a can of beer and told her the information she had found. It had been three days since she came to H City from A City. In the past week, Qiao Sisi had encountered more trouble than she had in the past 28 years. The ancients were right¡ªWhen it rains, it pours. Qiao Sisi lost her job and was betrayed by a scumbag. Her career in A City was ruined by Yang Yueyue. She was exhausted. ¡°Tell me, how did I offend her? I¡¯ve already graduated for so many years, but she still refused to let me go.¡± Qiao Sisi could not understand. She had caught Yang Yueyue cheating during their university days and reported her once. She had since been hated for so many years. Was she wrong? No, there was nothing wrong with reporting her for cheating. She was the one who did wrong and yet wanted to frame others. ¡°I think there¡¯s something fishy about this matter. Yang Yueyue and you haven¡¯t met for so many years. You two don¡¯t have such a huge grudge against each other, so why did she suddenly attack you?¡± Chen Anna was puzzled and asked suddenly, ¡°Did she find out that you slept with her cousin?¡± Qiao Sisi almost choked. She quickly said, ¡°How is that possible? I didn¡¯t even say my name. That guy doesn¡¯t know who I am.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. You only slept with her cousin, not her dad. She wouldn¡¯t hate you so much.¡± Chen Anna shook her head in confusion. ¡°Was it just to stand up for her good friend?¡± ...... ¡°To be honest, I haven¡¯t evenined about being wronged, so what does she have toin about? Besides, you still don¡¯t understand a snob like Yang Yueyue. If it wasn¡¯t for the benefits she could gain, would she even help others?¡± ¡°Then what is she after?¡± Qiao Sisi shook his head.?Who knows what she is after??she thought. ¡°Since you know that she did it, what do you n to do next?¡± Chen Anna suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we call the police?¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the evidence?¡± Qiao Sisi asked. ¡°Those transfer records and chat records don¡¯t count?¡± Chen Anna asked. Qiao Sisi shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s too tiring to deny the rumors. It might not be effective. I don¡¯t want to waste time wrangling. Either I won¡¯t do it or I will take drastic measures that will make it too shameful for her to face anyone.¡± Chen Anna was shocked. ¡°Sister, are you going to kill someone?¡± Qiao Sisi gave a weird smile. You¡¯ll find out soon enough. Three dayster, at Zhang Li¡¯s birthday party. The Zhang family was rich and had a medium-sized enterprise in H City. Naturally, they invited many people to their daughter¡¯s birthday party. It was also to make use of this asion to have various business meetings. Qiao Sisi tugged at the hem of her waitress uniform ufortably.?Hell, isn¡¯t this skirt a little too short? However, she was the only one at the party who found the length inappropriate because she had never worn a short skirt. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up. The customers are gradually arriving. Keep smiling and don¡¯t make any mistakes,¡± the manager reminded them repeatedly, afraid that they would make mistakes. The service staff put on identical smiles and walked out of the banquet hall with their trays. Qiao Sisi walked behind them. As soon as the manager walked away, she threw down her tray and went to the multimedia room. This ce was responsible for ying the video of the banquet tonight. Qiao Sisi carefully avoided the surveince cameras and tried not to let anyone notice her. She had sneaked in and her name was not on the records. To protect herself, she would have to avoid the surveince cameras. When she finally made it to the multimedia room, she pushed the door open and went inside. The staff had all gone to the banquet hall outside.?God help me,?she prayed. Qiao Sisi took out a sh drive and quickly inserted it into theputer. With this, the big screen would automatically broadcast Yang Yueyue¡¯s indecent video. She had obtained the video by sending a message link to Yang Yueyue, using a hacker¡¯s phishing app. Qiao Sisi herself was surprised by this other side of Yang Yueyue. Yang Yueyue, you¡¯re heartless and I¡¯m unjust. You forced me to do this. ¡°I caught a little mouse.¡± Suddenly she heard a soft sigh. She turned around in fear, but the person came from behind and pressed himself against her, making her unable to move. ¡°Let go of me. Who are you?¡± Qiao Sisi was angry. She did not notice that this person hade into the room. The man leaned in and chuckled in her ear. ¡°It¡¯s not good to forget about me after we¡¯ve just slept together.¡± Zheng Zeyi?! Qiao Sisi red. Why is he here? She tried to calm down and said slowly, ¡°Let go of me first. Let¡¯s talk properly.¡± This posture was too ufortable. She could not move at all. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand moved up to grab her waist. ¡°Then tell me first, what are you doing here?¡± Qiao Sisi paused for a moment and decided not to hide it. ¡°To take revenge on your cousin.¡± ¡°My cousin? Who?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows. He did not expect to hear this answer. ¡°Who else could it be? Of course it¡¯s your favorite cousin, Yang Yueyue. Don¡¯t feign ignorance. She caused me to lose my job and damaged my reputation. I promise I¡¯ll take revenge, or I¡¯ll assume your surname,¡± Qiao Sisi said angrily. ¡°My surname?¡± Zheng Ze smiled. ¡°Only my wife can take my surname. Are you proposing to me?¡± ¡°What nonsense, let go of me!¡± Qiao Sisi raised her hand to hit him, but Zheng Zeyi grabbed her. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. Youngdy, don¡¯t be so bad-tempered at such a young age.¡± His nonchnce made Qiao Sisi even angrier. She raised her leg to step on him with her high-heeled shoe, but he dodged her easily and pressed her against the wall. ¡°You¡¯re really wild.¡± ¡°Let go of me, hooligan!¡± Qiao Sisi hated him to death. Zheng Zeyi gazed at her stubborn look and felt a strong sense of possessiveness. He lowered his head and kissed Qiao Sisi, causing her to forget to breathe. When she recovered, she was about to attack his vital part, but he subdued her again. ¡°As the saying goes, a night as husband and wife is as a hundred nights of grace. Aren¡¯t you afraid that your future happiness will be affected by your ruthlessness?¡± ¡°Pfft, gangster. You and your cousin are birds of the same feather. You¡¯re both bastards.¡± Tears flowed down Qiao Sisi¡¯s face.?What damn luck. I¡¯ve already suffered enough being tormented by Yang Yueyue. Why am I still being bullied by this stinky gangster? She was so angry! Seeing her cry, Zheng Zeyi stopped smiling and raised his hand to wipe her tears. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. Don¡¯t cry, alright?¡± ¡°You¡¯re all bastards!¡± Qiao Sisi gritted her teeth and wiped her tears. Zheng Zeyi had a good temper. He was not the aloof Young Master Zheng in the eyes of outsiders. He yed the video that Qiao Sisi was about to y and watched it for a while before stopping it. ¡°It¡¯s not verydylike for a girl to y these videos.¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. If you have the guts, take care of your cousin. Don¡¯t frame me.¡± Qiao Sisi wanted to snatch the USB sh drive back but Zheng Zeyi managed to dodge her. ¡°Don¡¯t you want revenge?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked down at Qiao Sisi yfully. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Excuse Me, Who Are You?

Zheng Zeyi yed with the USB in his hand and looked at her with a faint smile. His eyes exuded a masculine charm that made Qiao Sisi¡¯s heart beat faster. His mannerism reminded her of that night when she seduced him at the bar. Qiao Sisi instinctively looked away, not daring to look at him. Zheng Zeyi smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll give you two choices. Either I call the police now and ask them to arrest you, or¡­¡± ¡°Or what?¡± When Qiao Sisi heard that he was going to call the police, her eyes burned with fury as she red at him. Zheng Zeyi chuckled. ¡°Or you be my fianc¨¦e.¡± Qiao Sisi thought that there was some problem with her hearing. Recently, she had been hearing unbelievable things. ¡°Is this a joke? Are you kidding me? Being your fianc¨¦e is like a trap.¡± Zhang Zeyi leaned against the edge of the table and said, ¡°My grandfather has been anxious for me to get married recently. He has met many girls, but he¡¯s not satisfied with any of them. After thinking about it, I think you and I are the mostpatible.¡± The word patible¡¯ rolled off his tongue, creating some ambiguity. Qiao Sisi could not help but feel a little hot. Fortunately, this room was dim, and the other party could not tell that she was blushing. ¡°Your words sound so fake. As the young master of the Zheng Corporation, do you need to have a blind date set up for you? The number of girls who woo you can circle the globe three times, right?¡± Zhang Zeyi nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± He really admitted to it! ...... Qiao Sisi was speechless.?Who would¡¯ve thought he¡¯s a narcissistic man. Zhang Zeyi ignored her mumbling and continued. ¡°There are many women who¡¯ve wooed me, but I¡¯ve said it before, you are the only one who makes me feel like we arepatible, especially when¡ª¡± He leaned in and whispered two words in her ear. Frightened, Qiao Sisi pushed him away and leaned against the wall. She said nervously, ¡°Let me tell you, don¡¯t do anything crazy. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what I will do.¡± Zhang Zeyi smiled and shrugged. He did not go close to her. ¡°Have you decided which choice you will make?¡± Qiao Sisi quickly shook her head. She did not want to choose either. She wanted to send this guy and his cousin packing to the moon. When Zhang Zeyi saw this, heughed softly. His sexy Adam¡¯s apple trembled as his whole body exuded a seductive appeal. Qiao Sisi felt that she must have been possessed. She had never been so horny. ¡°Move aside. I need to go.¡± Zhang Zeyi did not stop her. He merely said, ¡°What if I say that I can help you take revenge?¡± Only then did Qiao Sisi stop and let go of the door lock. She looked back at him. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Since my cousin made you lose your job and tarnished your reputation, why don¡¯t I help you rify things and deal with Yang Yueyue at the same time? It¡¯s better than you ying these indecent videos and letting the police arrest you. How about that?¡± Qiao Sisi did have such concerns. She was so angry that she had no choice but to sacrifice herself. If she had a way to escape unscathed, she would be unwilling to go down together with Yang Yueyue! ¡°Tell me first, what are you nning to do?¡± Zhang Zeyi said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. The first step is that I¡¯ll announce to the public that you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e. In that case, the rumors about you being a mistress will naturally be put to rest. As for your job, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll arrange for a simr job for you.¡± ¡°What about Yang Yueyue? What are you going to do with her?¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to deal with her. Just send her overseas.¡± ¡°Just send her overseas?¡± Why did Qiao Sisi find it so unbelievable? Zheng Zeyi walked closer to her and took a wisp of her hair, yed with it, and said, ¡°Sisi, first of all, you have to understand that your top priority now is not to take revenge on Yang Yueyue, but to set the record straight about yourself. You have to know that with your current bad reputation, even in H City, you won¡¯t be able to find a suitable job. After all, the Inte is so powerful. I¡¯m afraid the news of you being a mistress has already spread throughout the country, right?¡± He made so much sense that she felt powerless to refute him. However, she was really unwilling to let Yang Yueyue off just like that. Sensing that her attitude had softened, Zhang Zeyi held her shoulder and consoled her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, going overseas is only the first step. When you be her cousin-inw, there will be many ways to torture her.¡± ¡°You¡¯re saying¡­¡± ¡°Think about it. The person she hates the most bes her cousin-inw. Who wouldn¡¯t be angry?¡±?Zheng Zeyi is actually suggesting that I hit her where it hurts the most.?In a sh, Qiao Sisi understood and agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s suggestion. Yes, be her cousin-inw and she¡¯d be so infuriated! Just like that, Qiao Sisi became Zhang Zeyiyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Zhang Zeyi moved quickly and pulled her up to the second floor. He gave her a gown to change into and went downstairs. There was a stylist in the house. Half an hourter, Qiao Sisi appeared in a blue chiffon dress at the top of the stairs. Zhang Zeyi waited there. The moment she appeared, his eyes were full with surprise and admiration. This off-shoulder dress entuated her assets perfectly. The long skirt showed off her height and she instantly lit up the entire ce. When Zhang Zeyi brought her to the edge of the pool, almost everyone looked at them. ¡°Who is this? Which family¡¯s daughter is she?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, I¡¯ve never seen her before. Why is she with Young Master Zheng?¡± ¡°Could she be Young Master Zheng¡¯s girlfriend?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Young Master Zheng was on a blind date with the daughter of the Liu family the day before yesterday!¡± Everyone was whispering and casting curious looks at Qiao Sisi. Qiao Sisi had never been looked at by so many people and wanted to turn around and run. ¡°Why, are you afraid?¡± Zhang Zeyi held her hand tightly and chuckled. ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? I¡¯m not afraid¡­¡± She felt two unfriendly gazes on her and immediately looked behind. ¡°They are the ones who should be afraid!¡± ¡°Why is she here?¡± Zhang Li looked at Yang Yueyue nervously. Yang Yueyue¡¯s grip on the wine ss was so tight that she almost crushed the ss. ¡°How would I know? Isn¡¯t this your birthday party? Why did you send her an invitation?¡± Zhang Li was also angry. ¡°Don¡¯t you know who she came with!¡± Yang Yueyue was staring intensely at Qiao Sisi. Then she saw her cousin standing beside Qiao Sisi. Cousin? Why are they together? Yang Yueyue became nervous, hoping that it was not what she thought. But soon, reality gave her a tight p. Zhang Zeyi held Qiao Sisi¡¯s hand and walked to the elders. He smiled and introduced her. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Qiao Sisi.¡± Zhang Li and Yang Yueyue looked at each other and saw the shock and unease in each other¡¯s eyes. Yang Yueyue reacted quickly and walked over to greet him, ¡°Cousin, why are you here? Oh, you¡¯re Qiao Sisi. Why are you here?¡± She continued to pretend. From the moment she appeared here, Yang Yueyue looked at her as if she did not know her. But now, she seemed to have just recognized her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, who are you?¡± Qiao Sisi smiled amiably as if she really did not know Yang Yueyue. Chapter 6

¡°Sisi, what¡¯s wrong with you? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re embarrassed to acknowledge me because you¡¯ve done something wrong to Lili?¡± Yang Yueyue said gently and considerately, but her words attracted the attention of several elders. They looked at Qiao Sisi and then at Zhang Li. Zhang Li put on a sad expression, as if she had been wronged and suffering in silence. Instantly, everyone started to specte. Qiao Sisi was so angry that she wanted to scratch her face. However, Zhang Zeyi grabbed her hand tightly and said softly, ¡°Calm down, don¡¯t be rash.¡± Yes, impulse is a devil. Qiao Sisi took a deep breath and decided to deal with the situation by staying calm and seeing how the other party would react. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really can¡¯t remember who you are and who this person is.¡± Yang Yueyue was not anxious at all. ¡°Aren¡¯t you Qiao Sisi? We graduated from the same Jewelry Design program at University Z. I¡¯m Yang Yueyue from ss One and you were from ss Two, remember?¡± Qiao Sisi looked enlightened and said quickly, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. You¡¯re much prettier than before. I really didn¡¯t recognize you.¡± Being praised for being pretty in public was naturally a happy thing. However, before she could feel happy, she heard Qiao Sisi say, ¡°Your nose is so high. Did you go to Korea?¡± Qiao Sisi was indirectly saying that she had undergone stic surgery. Although this was a fact nowadays, even women who had undergone stic surgery till they became unrecognizable wished that others would say that they were naturally beautiful. Yang Yueyue was depressed.?Qiao Sisi is as annoying as ever,?she thought. ¡°Hahaha, Sisi, you¡¯re so funny. Why did youe with my cousin? Where¡¯s your sugar daddy? Why don¡¯t I see him?¡± She was implying that Qiao Sisi was a kept woman! ...... Before Qiao Sisi could say anything, she sensed the strange gazes from the people around her. Their discussion was definitely not something pleasant to hear. Just as she was about to refute, Zhang Zeyi grabbed Qiao Sisi again and held her waist. He smiled lightly and said, ¡°Yueyue, what nonsense are you talking about? This is your future cousin-inw.¡± His words caused an uproar. She was not just a girlfriend. She was her future cousin-inw. This meant that they were getting married, not just fooling around. Instantly, everyone became more interested in what was toe. Yang Yueyue looked as if she had seen a ghost and cried out in surprise, ¡°Cousin, what are you talking about? Although Qiao Sisi is my ssmate, I can¡¯t go against my conscience to let you be with such a person. Do you know that she actually seduced Lili¡¯s boyfriend? She is just a mistress.¡± Qiao Sisi looked at Zeng Qing, who was walking over, and met his evasive gaze. She sneered and said, ¡°Yang Yueyue, I have not seen you for so many years, and you still haven¡¯t changed your habit of spreading rumors? You said I¡¯m a mistress. Do you have evidence?¡± ¡°Lili, tell them!¡± Yang Yueyue pushed Zhang Li to the front and forced her to exin. Zhang Li looked at Qiao Sisi and met her parents¡¯ probing eyes. She immediately said, ¡°Ms. Qiao, although you¡¯re Yueyue¡¯s ssmate, you really did something inappropriate. Zeng Qing is my boyfriend. Please don¡¯t harass him anymore and don¡¯t destroy our rtionship, alright?¡± Qiao Sisi sneered and looked at Zeng Qing. ¡°Zeng Qing, what do you have to say?¡± Zeng Qing met the gaze of the Zhang parents and Zhang Li¡¯s warning look. He did not hesitate to go forward and hug Zhang Li. He distorted the truth and said, ¡°Qiao Sisi, although we were university ssmates, I have always told you over the years that I don¡¯t like you. Now that I have a girlfriend, please don¡¯t pester me anymore, alright? Your actions have already caused me a lot of trouble. If you continue, I can only call the police and use legal means to protect my rights.¡± Damn¡­ Damn.?This was the kind of boyfriend she had even though she had supported him financially. She had worked so hard to help support his PhD education. He had yet to obtain his doctoral degree and he now turned around and abandoned his girlfriend. Qiao Sisi broke free from Zhang Zeyi¡¯s grip and took a step forward. ¡°Zeng Qing, this being the case, for my reputation¡¯s sake, I will not let you frame me.¡± ¡°Everyone, you must be very curious as to whether I¡¯d be his mistress, harassing and seducing him. I can tell you very honestly that I didn¡¯t! As to why Ms. Zhang thinks that I harassed and seduced him, I would like to ask if Ms. Zhang has any evidence to prove that I harassed her boyfriend?¡± Zhang Li paused for a moment before saying, ¡°I saw you calling him and sending him some cryptic text messages.¡± Qiao Sisi saw the light. She nodded. ¡°What text did you say I sent him? I don¡¯t have any impression of it. But you said that I called him. That¡¯s right. I admit that I called him, but it wasn¡¯t to harass him. It was to ask him to repay his debt.¡± ¡°Debt?¡± It caused a hugemotion. Everyone was surprised and looked at Zeng Qing. Zeng Qing quickly said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Qiao Sisi, when did I owe you money?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t owe me money?¡± Qiao Sisi sneered. ¡°Zeng Qing, a human being must behave with integrity. Don¡¯t be an ugly character. We¡¯ve known each other for five years. In these five years, you¡¯ve borrowed a total of 200 thousand yuan from me. I have a bank record for every transfer of this money. You said that I seduced you as a mistress. Now, let everybody judge between right and wrong. Which mistress in this world would fork out money to support a man? If you say that I spent money to support a toy boy, perhaps it¡¯s easier for people to believe you. Don¡¯t you think so!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If taking a woman¡¯s money is not borrowing money, then isn¡¯t it equivalent to being a toy boy?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a scam. Didn¡¯t she say that she called him to repay his debts?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Maybe they¡¯re in a rtionship?¡± Everyone was talking among themselves. Zeng Qing and Zhang Li¡¯s expressions were ugly to the extreme. Zhang Li said angrily, ¡°Nonsense, Zeng Qing is not such a person. Why would he borrow money from you? His family background is not bad! You¡¯re framing him!¡± Qiao Sisi smiled. She picked up her phone and clicked on the bank transfer record. ¡°Everyone, take a good look. This is only one of the transfers. But isn¡¯t the recipient Zeng Qing? If you don¡¯t believe me, we can get the police to investigate and see if the recipient is Zeng Qing himself.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s Zeng Qing, that doesn¡¯t mean anything. Who knows if you were the one who returned the money to him!¡± Yang Yueyue immediately retaliated, seeing that everyone was convinced by Qiao Sisi. ¡°Right, that¡¯s because you returned the money to me!¡± Zeng Qing quickly added. ¡°Borrow money?¡± Before Qiao Sisi could continue, Zheng Zeyi walked over and interrupted them. ¡°How much money does Sisi owe you? Do you have a loan receipt?¡± ¡°This¡­ she owes me two hundred thousand dors, and I didn¡¯t bring the loan receipt with me. I¡­¡± ¡°Alright, Sisi, transfer another 10 thousand yuan to me. I need to go overseas this time, and I don¡¯t have enough money on hand. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have asked you. Do me a favor and I¡¯ll immediately pay you back as soon as I receive my allowance.¡± Before Zeng Qing could finish speaking, Qiao Sisi had started ying a voice recording. The voice was Zeng Qing¡¯s.

Chapter 7: It¡¯s All a Setup

¡°Zeng Qing, I had wanted to give you a chance so that we could still be friends in the future, but I didn¡¯t expect you to ignore me so many times when I asked you to repay the money. If we weren¡¯t ssmates, I would have called the police. I came to H City so many times to ask you to return the money to me, but not only did you avoid me, you even got your girlfriend to spread rumors that I was a mistress who seduced you. You¡¯re really shameless!¡± ¡°You¡¯re spouting nonsense. Clearly, you failed to seduce me and instead tried to nder me. Let me tell you, Qiao Sisi, don¡¯t even think about getting your way. I will never like you in my life.¡± Zeng Qing said fiercely and took two steps back in disdain. However, Qiao Sisi smiled and took Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand. ¡°Honey, look at him. How can he nder me like this? Trust me, with such an outstanding and perfect man like you by my side, I¡¯ll only fall for him if I¡¯m blind.¡± The Zhang family¡¯s parents already formed their own conclusions. Everyonepared Zhang Zeyi and Zeng Qing. Theparison was like heaven and earth. No matter how one looked at him, Zheng Zeyi was a highly eligible bachelor, a perfect man. Zeng Qing had a slightly better-looking face, butpared with Zhang Zeyi, their aura and physique were worlds apart. Even a blind person would choose Zhang Zeyi over Zeng Qing. Zheng Zeyi held Qiao Sisi in his arms happily and patted her handfortingly, ¡°Of course, I believe you.¡± Then he looked at Zeng Qing and Zhang Li and said to the crowd, ¡°Ms. Zhang, please stop the defamation of my fianc¨¦e immediately. Otherwise, I will use legal means to protect her reputation. Also, Mr. Zeng, since the evidence is conclusive and you indeed owe my fianc¨¦e so much money, please repay the money to her on time. Otherwise, we will see you in court.¡± Qiao Sisi nodded and snuggled up to Zhang Zeyi obediently like a little woman. Zhang Zeyi was very pleased, but Yang Yueyue was so angry that she almost bit her tongue. How dare she! Once he finished speaking, Zhang Zeyi ignored everyone¡¯s expression and turned to Zhang Li¡¯s parents. ¡°Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, I¡¯m really sorry. We have something on, so we¡¯ll leave first. We¡¯ll visit you again another day to apologize.¡± ...... How could Zhang Li¡¯s parents stop him? They could only politely get the butler to send him away. Qiao Sisi held Zhang Zeyi¡¯s hand and left the vi arrogantly, oblivious to the storm she had just caused. When they got into the Bentley, Qiao Sisi immediately let go of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and started to pant. Then sheughed loudly. ¡°Did you see Zeng Qing and Zhang Li¡¯s faces just now? And Yang Yueyue. She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. Hahaha, the way they looked when they were defeated was so funny. Awesome.¡± Zhang Zeyi smiled at her and closed the partition between him and the chauffeur quietly. It wasn¡¯t until Qiao Sisi stoppedughing that she realized something was wrong. ¡°Why¡­ Why are you looking at me like that?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Zheng Zeyi propped his chin with one hand and looked at her with a faint smile. Qiao Sisi moved to sit closer to the door, feeling uneasy. Obviously, he was looking at her lustfully. But she did not say anything. She rolled down the car window and changed the subject, ¡°Drop me off at the bus stop. I¡¯ll take a taxi home.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Zhang Zeyi looked at her with some displeasure in his eyes. Qiao Sisi felt that he was strange and said matter-of-factly, ¡°To my friend¡¯s house, of course. Do I have to go with you?¡± ¡°Of course you have toe with me. Don¡¯t forget, you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e now.¡± Zhang Zeyi grabbed her hand with a dangerous look in his eyes. Qiao Sisi struggled a few times but did not break free. She said quickly, ¡°You said that I just have to pretend to be your fianc¨¦e. It¡¯s just an act. There¡¯s no need for us to get together, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi yed with her hand and chuckled. ¡°Sisi, you have to understand that my family is very smart, especially my grandfather. He¡¯s almost like a spirit. Since I said that you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e, he¡¯ll investigate you tomorrow. If he finds out that you don¡¯t live with me, he¡¯ll definitely think that I¡¯m lying to him. If this happens, with one word from him, the entire H City will know that you¡¯re fake. Then won¡¯t your acting today be wasted?¡± ¡°My acting is wasted?¡± Qiao Sisi struggled. She did not think it was that serious. Zhang Zeyi nodded. ¡°Say, once Yang Yueyue and the rest know that you¡¯re fake, will they continue to nder you? When that timees, wouldn¡¯t I be deceiving myself bying out to exin?¡± ¡°It seems¡­ It seems to be so!¡± ¡°Then can¡¯t you ask your grandfather not toe?¡± Qiao Sisi continued to struggle. She felt that if she were to live with him, she would be like a meat bun thrown at a dog. Zhang Zeyi looked really dangerous. Zhang Zeyi looked at her and suddenly let go of her hand. He said, ¡°Sigh, I wanted to introduce you to Jinyu as a designer, but it seems like I¡¯m being nosy. You don¡¯t need my help.¡± Just as Qiao Sisi was about to nod, she suddenly stopped and grabbed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand nervously. ¡°The Jinyu you¡¯re talking about, is it that internationally renowned designer, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s jewelry designpany?¡± Zhang Zeyi nodded and retracted his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since you don¡¯t need it, I won¡¯t force you.¡± ¡°No, I need it. I need it badly.¡± Don¡¯t y a joke on me. Xiang Jinyu was her idol and the dream of many jewelry designers. Everyone wanted to be like her, famous internationally and designing the jewelry she liked. She was powerless to resist such a good opportunity. ¡°But aren¡¯t you going back to live with your friend?¡± Zhang Zeyi smiled. ¡°No, my friend is taking her boyfriend home tonight. If I go, I¡¯ll be an unwanted third party. That would be inappropriate. Young Master Zheng, please do me a favor and let me stay for the night!¡± Qiao Sisi looked at him anxiously, afraid that he would go back on his word. ¡°But aren¡¯t you worried that I¡¯ll have impure designs on you?¡± Zhang Zeyi continued his tactic. Qiao Sisi looked at him intently and gritted her teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if it¡¯s errant, it¡¯s my fault for having impure intentions towards you. I believe in your character.¡± ¡°So, regarding my grandpa¡­.¡± ¡°I will definitely perform well and y the role of your fianc¨¦e well. Your grandfather is my grandfather. I will definitely serve him like how I served my grandfather so that he will be pleased with me.¡± In order to enter Jinyu, Qiao Sisi had repeatedly crossed her bottom line. ¡°Yes. But this is not something that can be done in a day or two.¡± Zhang Zeyi was still hesitant. ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate. I¡¯ll wait no matter how long it will take. As long as you let me enter Jinyu.¡± Damn it, I¡¯ll give it my all. Even if it¡¯s a wolf¡¯s den, I¡¯ll take a risk. Zhang Zeyi finally smiled in satisfaction. ¡°Very good, baby. Remember what you said.¡± Chapter 8

¡°So you sold yourself?¡± Chen Anna was shocked and dropped her face mask when she heard Qiao Sisi¡¯s ount. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t you think he was leading you on from the beginning?¡± Qiao Sisiy on the bed, feeling regretful. However, she had already agreed to the fake engagement with him. What else could she do? ¡°I won¡¯t say he¡¯s leading me on. After all, he really can get me a job in Jinyu. I know myself. Being able to go to Jinyu and work with my idol is the dream of a lifetime. Xiang Jinyu, I want to be like her, legendary and powerful!¡± ¡°What the heck!¡± Chen Anna threw her mask down and retorted, ¡°Even if you want to work in Jinyu, there are many ways, right? Who is Zheng Zeyi? Everyone in H City knows that he¡¯s a wolf that eats people up. As long as he takes a fancy to a prey¡ªthere¡¯s nothing he can¡¯t get his hands on. How manypanies have been swallowed up by him until not even ashes are left? Do you still want to y mind games with him? You must be tired of living. Let me tell you, you have to move back quickly, or I won¡¯t be able to save you.¡± ¡°It¡­ It¡¯s not that serious, right? Maybe it¡¯s just rumors. When I interacted with him today, I realized that he¡¯s quite a righteous person. Look, he didn¡¯t help his cousin today but agreed to help me. You don¡¯t know how angry Yang Yueyue was. She was about to jump into the river.¡± Qiao Sisi tried to joke, but she was actually consoling herself. Perhaps Zhang Zeyi was doing good things every day. She was just a woman whocked money but with some good looks. There was nothing in her that he could take advantage of. ¡°Look at you, it¡¯s only been a day and you¡¯re siding with him. Isn¡¯t that serious enough? Don¡¯t forget, he¡¯s our enemy and Yang Yueyue¡¯s cousin!¡± Chen Anna said resentfully, thinking that this silly girl had been tricked. Qiao Sisi was about to retort when there was a knock at the door. She hurriedly hung up and ran to open the door. Zheng Zeyi was standing outside with a bath towel around his waist and his hair was wet. ¡°May I use the hairdryer in your room? The one in my room is broken.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ oh¡­ ok¡­¡± Qiao Sisi fumbled for words. With that, Zheng Zeyi came in. He went straight to the bathroom and the sound of the hairdryer was soon heard. Qiao Sisi¡¯s mind went nk. Her mind was filled with the picture of his eight-pack abs, dripping wet from the shower. ...... And there was the other night¡­ I¡¯m dying, I¡¯m dying. I can¡¯t think, I can¡¯t think. The more I think about it, the more nervous I get. Qiao Sisi picked up her phone uneasily and went downstairs to the kitchen to drink some ice water to cool herself down. She had just opened the fridge door when Zheng Zeyi came from behind and closed it. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Qiao Sisi was nervous. Zhang Zeyi chuckled. ¡°Why are you panicking?¡± She did not panic. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty. I came down for a drink.¡± However, Zheng Zeyi said, ¡°Ladies should drink less ice water. It is not good for the body.¡± Qiao Sisi was stunned. Her mother was the only person who had said the same thing to her. Zheng Zeyi walked to the water dispenser, got some hot water and made her a cup of rose tea. ¡°Have some. It¡¯s good for yourplexion and health.¡± Quah Sisi took the steaming porcin cup and asked curiously, ¡°Why would your home have rose tea which is a woman¡¯s drink? Is it from your ex-girlfriend?¡± After asking, she looked away unnaturally. When Zheng Zeyi heard that, he smiled and said, ¡°No, my mother loved to drink it when she was alive. After she passed away, every time I miss her, I¡¯d make a cup and smell it.¡± Qiao Sisi saw the sadness in his eyes and immediately apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to be hurtful.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and touched her head. ¡°It¡¯s veryte. Have an early rest. I¡¯ll send you to Jinyu tomorrow.¡± Seeing him turn around and go up the stairs dejectedly, Qiao Sisi felt bad. She didn¡¯t mean to touch a raw nerve. But there¡¯s nothing else she could do now. After a good night¡¯s sleep, she woke up early the next day, found some food in the fridge and started making breakfast. After thinking about it for the entire night, she felt that the best way to apologize was to make him breakfast. She did not know what he liked to eat, so she made century egg lean meat porridge, egg rolls, and pancakes with the ingredients in the fridge. The moment Zheng Zeyi came back from his jog, he smelled the aroma of food. He walked to the kitchen and saw Qiao Sisi busy at work. She was wearing an apron and making breakfast seriously. She did not notice that he was there. At that moment, he felt that such a heartwarming scene was very beautiful. For the first time, this ce felt like a home, and not just a cold building where he came back to sleep. After making thest pancake, Qiao Sisi looked up and saw Zheng Zeyi. She smiled immediately and said, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± The sun rays fell on her face through the French window. Her smile was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. Zheng Zeyiughed nervously. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go and take a shower first.¡± Even on the weekends, he would order takeaway food. There was no one preparing food at home unless the part-time helper came. In fact, this was his first time having breakfast at home since he moved here. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you like, but I made a few random dishes. Try them.¡± Qiao Sisi passed him an egg roll and a bowl of porridge. Zhang Zeyi did not stand on ceremony and finished the food. When the chauffeur came to pick them up, Zheng Zeyi was burping. Zhang Zeyi sent her to Jinyu¡¯s doorstep and said suddenly, ¡°Make soy milk and fritters tomorrow. I want to eat that.¡± Before Qiao Sisi could react, the car had already driven away. So he¡¯s cing his order for tomorrow¡¯s breakfast. Qiao Sisi could not help butugh. She turned around and entered the office building. Soon she arrived at the front desk of Jinyu¡¯s office. The moment she introduced herself, the receptionist immediately called the Design department. Soon the Design department¡¯s manager, Li Man, appeared. ¡°You must be Qiao Sisi? Wee, CEO Xiang has already told me that from today onwards, you will be working in my team.¡± It seemed that Zheng Zeyi really did not lie to her. She had been hired by Jinyu. Li Man brought her to report to the Human Resource department. After settling the admission procedures, she received new office supplies and went to her own department. There were a total of three levels in Jinyu. She was a new designer in the Design department. Since it was her first day at work, Li Man did not assign her any work. Instead, she gave her a thick stack of design drafts to peruse. Qiao Sisi could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Sister Li, where¡¯s CEO Xiang? Is she in the office?¡± ¡°CEO Xiang? She went overseas to attend the film festival. For this trip to Cannes, the award nominees specially borrowed the Sprout series designed by Chairman Xiang. The jewelers there happened to have a partnership to discuss, so she¡¯ll only be back after the film festival. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m just curious.¡± Qiao Sisi would not dare to look for CEO Xiang. ¡°What are you curious about? Weren¡¯t you assigned here by CEO Xiang? Why do you sound like you don¡¯t know her?¡± A sharp voice came from behind. Qiao Sisi instinctively turned around and saw an unfamiliar woman. Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Enemies Everywhere

¡°I¡¯m sorry, may I know who you are¡­¡± Qiao Sisi felt a little awkward. Li Manughed. ¡°Ah, let me introduce, this is Wei Ya, Group B¡¯s design director. This is Qiao Sisi, a new designer.¡± Wei Ya was tall and gorgeous, with a model-like figure. She looked down at Qiao Sisi and sneered. ¡°So you¡¯re Qiao Sisi. You look in.¡± When Qiao Sisi heard this, she felt that something was wrong. She did not seem to have provoked this person.?Why is this woman so mean to me? ¡°Sorry, do we know each other?¡± Wei Ya smiled disdainfully. ¡°There¡¯s no need to know each other. Although you¡¯re here out of nowhere, this is not a ce for you to idle around. Don¡¯t take advantage of the situation just because you have a backer. Let me tell you, if you can¡¯t endure the work, you might as well get lost early and give up your position to someone who needs it.¡± With that, she turned on her heels and left without giving Qiao Sisi a chance to retort. Qiao Sisi was puzzled as she looked at Li Man. ¡°Sister Li, did I offend her?¡± Li Manughed. ¡°No, She has a temper. The people in Group B have all been led astray by her. She has some talent, but she is proud. Don¡¯t lower yourself to her level. Focus on your studies.¡± With that, she walked away with her cup. Qiao Sisi wanted to ask her colleagues around her, but when these people met her eyes, they immediately avoided her. They lowered their heads and did their own thing, and dared not speak a word. Qiao Sisi took a deep breath to adjust her emotions. She ignored these people and buried her head in her documents. When it was lunchtime, her colleagues went to the cafeteria for lunch, leaving her alone. She was not in the mood to go to the cafeteria for lunch, so she ordered takeaway food and went up to the rooftop alone. ...... Chen Anna called her, ¡°How did your first day at work go?¡± Qiao Sisi sighed. ¡°There¡¯s a lot of pressure! Did I offend many people because I came from nowhere? Do they all dislike me?¡± Chen Anna put down the pen in her hand and said, ¡°Sisi, listen to my advice. Either you leave Jinyu now and find another job, or you force yourself to endure it. Don¡¯t care about what others think of you.¡± ¡°Both choices are bad!¡± Qiao Sisi smiled bitterly. ¡°What else could it be? Nopany in this world wees parachutists. They have no qualifications and are not hired directly. People will tend to specte about their background. Your only way out now is to prove yourself. Otherwise, everyone will say that younded a job in Jinyu through Zheng Zeyi.¡± Although Chen Anna¡¯s words were sharp, they were not untrue. ¡°Sigh, was I too impulsive yesterday? I shouldn¡¯t have listened to Zheng Zeyi. One false step leads to eternal regret!¡± Qiao Sisi dug at the rice in her bowl, not having much of an appetite. ¡°It¡¯s not toote to turn back now.¡± Qiao Sisi shook her head. ¡°No, since I¡¯m here and I¡¯m being looked down upon by others, I don¡¯t want to waste this opportunity. I must use my strengths to prove that I¡¯m better than all of them. Even if I want to leave in the future, I¡¯ll have to create my own brand and build my own empire. I will not slink away.¡± ¡°Alright, you are strong. Good luck. Let me know if you can¡¯t take it. I¡¯ll take care of your dead body.¡± With that, Chen Anna hung up hurriedly. Qiao Sisi stared at the phone for a long time, feeling powerless.?What kind of friend do I have? She could not eat anymore, so she got up and went downstairs. She walked quickly, not noticing that someone on the other side had overheard her conversation. That person took a sip of coffee with a smile and said, ¡°She¡¯s an ambitious girl!¡± After looking at the design drawings for the day, Qiao Sisi got off work, feeling tired. As she reached the entrance of the building, someone grabbed her. She was shocked. When she saw him clearly, she immediately shook off his hand and said, ¡°Zeng Qing, why are you here!¡± Zeng Qing¡¯s eyes were fiery. ¡°You go and exin to Zhang Li now that I don¡¯t owe you any money. You¡¯re the one who has been pestering me.¡± Qiao Sisi looked at him in disbelief. ¡°Zeng Qing, are you crazy? How could you say such things? Why? Does Ms. Zhang not want you anymore? Does she know that you had an affair and that she¡¯s a mistress?¡± ¡°Qiao Sisi, don¡¯t be shameless. All these years, if I didn¡¯t take pity on you, would I have agreed to be your boyfriend? Now that I finally have Lili, you jumped out to block my future. Are you sincere?¡± At this moment, the little bit of love Qiao Sisi had for Zeng Qing waspletely extinguished. ¡°Took pity on me? Zeng Qing, don¡¯t you have any sense of shame? Weren¡¯t you after the money I gave you¡ªthat was why you wouldn¡¯t let me go? Why, now that you¡¯ve climbed up thedder, you want to dump me? It¡¯s fine. Return the money to me. I won¡¯t stop you from climbing up thedder.¡± ¡°Why should I return it to you? You gave me that money voluntarily. I¡¯ve humored you for so long. I deserve that money.¡± Zeng Qing was fearless. He said viciously, ¡°Which man would fancy a wild woman like you who has a mother but no proper upbringing? Look at you, poor and wretched.¡± Qiao Sisi felt a chill down her spine and raised her hand to hit him. Zeng Qing grabbed her hand and sneered. ¡°You want to hit me? Come, everybody. Look at this woman, she is a mistress and she wants to seduce me. I refused and she wanted to hit me. How shameless.¡± His words attracted the attention of everyone, including some new colleagues in thepany. Someone even took out his phone to take a video. ¡°I was wondering how she was parachuted into thepany. So she is this kind of person.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, so disgusting. A mistress!¡± Qiao Sisi felt hurt and devastated by the humiliation. She struggled to break free from Zeng Qing, but he gave her a hard push. Just as she was about to fall, she bumped against a strong chest. Someone grabbed hold of her. Qiao Sisi turned around and saw Zhang Zeyi¡¯s cold face. She looked at Zhang Zeyi and forgot to react for a moment. Zhang Zeyi held her hand and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Zeng Qing, it¡¯s you again. You don¡¯t intend to return the money, that¡¯s why you harassed my fianc¨¦e time and again. Do you think that my Zheng family is easy to bully?¡± Someone recognized Zhang Zeyi and shouted in surprise. ¡°This woman is Zhang Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. That¡¯s juicy news.¡± ¡°Young Master Zheng, even if you have money, you can¡¯t invert right and wrong. Let me tell you, if she doesn¡¯t exin to Lili today, I won¡¯t let both of you off! This matter is not over!¡± At this point, Zeng Qing decided to go all out. ¡°It¡¯s not over? It¡¯s not over for who? Alright, I want to talk to Professor Hu about how you faked your credentials and giarized someone else¡¯s thesis to get into his ss.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°giarizing thesis?¡± Qiao Sisi looked at Zeng Qing and felt that her worldview, values, and outlook on life had been refreshed again. Chapter 10

Chapter 10: This Is a Personal Attack

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Qiao Sisi looked at Zeng Qing with indescribable disgust. Now she hated this man as much as she had liked him before. He hasmitted adultery, nder, and giarism. What else is he not capable of doing??she thought. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi had an influential family background. They had found out about the dirty things that Zeng Qing had done in the past.?How could she have fallen for this man? Indeed, one should sharpen one¡¯s vignce to see things as they really are. Zeng Qing¡¯s biggest secret was exposed, and his face instantly turned pale. He could not help but gulp and re fiercely at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! When did I giarize a thesis? You two are in cahoots, and now both of you are joining forces to nder me, right?!¡± At this point, he still wanted to throw mud at the two of them. Zheng Zeyi said with a faint smile, ¡°nder?¡± Many people around them were taking photos with their phones and discussing this matter in private. However, they did not dare to be too ostentatious. Qiao Sisi took a deep breath and shouted, ¡°Zeng Qing, do you think we¡¯re joking with you? You ndered me as a mistress in front of everyone, and refused to clear your debts after borrowing my money. Now you evene after us. In addition, you havemited the crime of giarism. Do you want to go to jail?!¡± She deliberately emphasized thest few words. Standing beside her, Zheng Zeyi wrapped his arms around Qiao Sisi¡¯s waist and could not help but tighten his grip. He quietly watched her disy her prowess. All eyes were on Zeng Qing. His eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Qiao Sisi and shouted, ¡°It was clearly this woman who distorted the truth, seduced me, embarrassed me, and made my girlfriend leave me. Qiao Sisi, are these not enough for you? Do you want me to lose my reputation too?¡± Hearing this, many of the colleagues began to look at Qiao Sisi differently. ...... As for who to believe, it was really hard to say. Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes were clear. Faced with baseless nder, she had already calmed down and was not as emotional as before. She sneered and said, ¡°It seems you still don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you. To be honest¡­ These crimes are enough for you to serve some time in prison. If you don¡¯t believe me,e tomorrow, you will be served a court notice.¡± Every word struck Zeng Qing like a hammer. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was aware of the consequences of giarism. However, this matter had clearly been hidden very well. After he had ensured there was no evidence left behind, he wondered why the matter was dug out now. ¡°Young Master Zheng, must you cover up for this woman?¡± Zeng Qing suddenly looked up, gritted his teeth, and blurted out. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and said nonchntly, ¡°How can you say that? What¡¯s wrong with what my fianc¨¦e said?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he nced around. The people from thepany lowered their heads in unison. The aura was really too strong. ¡°Qiao Sisi!¡± Zeng Qing was clearly breaking down. If this matter was exposed, he would not even have hisst defense and he would not be able to catch the big fish, Zhang Li. The more he thought about it, the more hatred Zeng Qing felt. He looked at Qiao Sisi like a venomous snake. Seeing this, Qiao Sisi frowned slightly. It seemed that Zeng Qing was determined to drag her down. He was really unrepentant. Feeling the grip on her waist tighten, Qiao Sisi¡¯s face reddened slightly, but she quickly calmed down and continued to add fuel to the fire. ¡°Zeng Qing, since you dare to do these things, you have to be prepared to bear the consequences. If Professor Hu finds out that his student relied on giarism to climb up thedder, he would probably be heartbroken that he taught a social scum!¡± Qiao Sisi shook her head in disappointment as she remembered the white-haired Professor Hu. After she had finished speaking, there was a short silence. The next second, Zeng Qing¡¯s eyes shed fiercely as he raised his fist and charged at Qiao Sisi. ¡°Gasp!¡± The people around gasped. Was he about to break down and hit someone? It was so fast that QIao Sisi did not have time to react. Her mouth gaped slightly as she looked at the fist that was just inches away. She regretted not being prepared. At the critical moment, Zheng Zeyi suddenly moved. He raised his leg and kicked Zeng Qing. The force was so strong that Zeng Qing instantly fell to the ground and could not move. ¡°Bang!¡± A loud sound was heard. ¡°That¡¯s amazing¡­¡± Her colleagues could not help but exim. Qiao Sisi came back to her senses and looked nkly at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side profile. It was as exquisite as a sculpture, making it impossible to look away. She really did not expect this man to be so strong. If Zheng Zeyi had not intervened in time, Zeng Qing¡¯s fist would havended on her. ¡°Handsome!¡± Qiao Sisi smiled and praised from the bottom of her heart. Zheng Zeyi naturally did not miss the praise from the person in his arms. He seemed pleased as his lips curled up. Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on a battered and exhausted person on the ground. Zeng Qingy on the ground, unable to move. He felt as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart. The slightest movement was painful. ¡°Qiao Sisi, don¡¯t think I¡¯ll give in just like that!¡± Zeng Qing gritted his teeth as he said this. His expression was a little twisted as his hatred surged. Qiao Sisi was not bothered by his hysteria at all. ¡°You¡¯d better take care of yourself first and see how you can escape jail.¡± It would have been better if she had known the character of this person sooner, but it was still not toote. There was a hint of a smile in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. He retracted his gaze from Qiao Sisi and called out, ¡°Someone!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± At his order, a few bodyguards in ck appeared. Qiao Sisi looked up slightly and saw Zheng Zeyi telling them, ¡°Send this person to the police station.¡± With that casual sentence, the bodyguards went forward and pulled Zeng Qing up from the ground in an extremely rough manner. Zeng Qing could not help wailing as his wound was hurting. As he struggled, he shouted, ¡°Let go of me! Let go of me. This is a personal attack¡­¡± He struggled with all his might but could not break free from the bodyguards¡¯ grip. The colleagues in thepany consciously made way for the bodyguards to pass through. Zeng Qing gradually disappeared from the entrance of thepany, and the wailing could hardly be heard. Having solved a big problem, Qiao Sisi heaved a sigh of relief and rxed. Just as she was about to thank Zheng Zeyi, Qiao Sisi suddenly realized that after Zeng Qing left, her colleagues¡¯ eyes were all on her. There was inquiry, curiosity, and contempt¡­ ¡°This lineup¡­¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips twitched awkwardly as she swallowed her words. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to tuck a strand of her ck hair behind her ear. He bent down slightly and whispered gently into her ear, ¡°Sisi, remember to go home early tonight.¡± His ambiguous words and his warm breath beside her ears stunned Qiao Sisi. She could not help blushing. Chapter 11

Chapter 11: How Can a Person Like You Be Worthy of Me?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Qiao Sisi secretly red at Zheng Zeyi. She had agreed to pretend to be his fianc¨¦e, but she felt that something was wrong. Anna was right. This man is indeed scheming and methodical,?she thought. Seeing her chubby face, Zheng Zeyi could not help butugh softly. His deep voice tickled her heart like a feather. Qiao Sisi¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she quickly took a step back and broke free from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arms. She was clearly flustered. But everyone in thepany was watching, and it was not appropriate to show too much resistance. QIao Sisi nodded and said, ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go back early tonight.¡± The moment this was said, the colleagues in thepany exploded into discussion. If not for Qiao Sisi¡¯s strong mental fortitude, she would have blushed. Zheng Zeyi nodded in satisfaction and reached out to stroke Qiao Sisi¡¯s hair. He said, ¡°Then I¡¯m leaving, baby.¡± With that, he strode out of thepany after turning back to nce at her. Smiling radiantly, Qiao Sisi waved her hand to send away the demon. He¡¯s finally gone¡­ Letting out a sigh of relief, Qiao Sisi¡¯s mood improved. Just as she was about to return to her desk, a group of people surrounded her. ...... ¡°Sisi, are you really Young Master Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡± ¡°Oh my god, Young Master Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e is actually working at Jinyu Corporation.¡± ¡­ The torrent of words was overwhelming. Qiao Sisi did not know which question to answer first. She smiled awkwardly. In the morning, these colleagues had ignored her. Now that Zheng Zeyi dropped by, they became friendly toward her. She was not very enthusiastic about maintaining these working rtionships. Qiao Sisi cleared her throat and exined simply, ¡°I am indeed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. I just didn¡¯t announce it previously. Everyone, kindly disperse.¡± A sarcastic voice was heard. Wei Ya leaned against the desk and crossed her arms. She said disdainfully, ¡°Tsk, what can people who rely on their background to enter Jinyu do? Do you think this is one of those small ces? One day, thepetition here will make you want to run away.¡± With that, Wei Ya nced at Qiao Sisi and left in her high heels. Qiao Sisi stared at Wei Ya¡¯s back. Although she was being mocked, she still smiled. Jinyu, as everyone knew, was heaven for jewelry designers. But at the same time, this was a ce wherepetition was extremely intense. Neers without abilities were basically eliminated. Nopany was a shelter. Only capable people were valued and promoted step by step. In the end, they would be famous designers in the jewelry industry, like thepany¡¯s CEO, Xiang Jinyu. At this point, Qiao Sisi could not help yearning for sess and fame. Since she was here, she had to do her job well! After Wei Ya said that, the onlookers dispersed. Qiao Sisi, who had some ambition, did not want to waste any more time and returned to her desk to look at the design drafts. The thick stack of design drafts was ced on the desk. It would probably take a day to finish going through them. Qiao Sisi sipped her coffee and looked at them intently. The drafts that had been perused were ced on the other side of the desk. Soon the stack became higher. ¡°This is¡­¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s gaze rested on a design draft in her hand as she muttered. The draft featured a series of exquisite crystal bracelets. Every bead was drawn in a lifelike manner. Be it the corners or the overall shapes, they were top-notch. ¡®This is a bracelet from the Starry Sky series.¡¯ A smile appeared on Qiao Sisi¡¯s face as she ced the design draft t on the table and studied it carefully. The Starry Sky series was a jewelry series designed by thepany¡¯s CEO, Xiang Jinyu. It was expensive but very popr. The style and design was very unique. This was what she wanted to do! Qiao Sisi waspletely immersed and had no other distracting thoughts. She did not expect that Zheng Zeyi, who had just left, would do another good thing for her. Arge office in Zheng Corporation. Zheng Zeyi sat in a chair with Andy beside him. ¡°Andy, send this information to Zeng Qing¡¯s school. Send this to the police,¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a cryptic expression. He drummed his long fingers on the desk, producing rhythmic sounds. Andy nodded and put the documents into his briefcase. ¡°Alright, CEO. I understand. I¡¯ll go now.¡± These two documents were evidence of giarism and defamation by Zeng Qing. As Qiao Sisi was his fianc¨¦e in name, Zheng Zeyi had to do something. ¡°Go on.¡± Andy left the CEO¡¯s office with the documents and rushed to the police station and Zeng Qing¡¯s school. After dealing with this matter, Zheng Zeyi took a sip of tea on the table and remembered that little woman. His lips curled up. You¡¯re a good person behind my back, so you should earn some interest,?he thought. ¡­ Meanwhile, Zeng Qing was in an extremely pathetic state. At the police station, several police officers were interrogating him in hopes of finding out the truth about the giarism case. The evidence was on the table, so lying was useless. Zeng Qing had no choice but to tell them about the theft of the thesis. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not going to jail, right?¡± Zeng Qing swallowed his saliva, feeling a little nervous. The policeman in front of him sneered. ¡°What do you think? Learning to giarize others¡¯ achievements, of all things? In addition, someone has reported you for defamation. The evidence isplete. You¡¯re definitely going to jail.¡± Hearing this, Zeng Qing really panicked. No! I don¡¯t want to go to jail! Definitely not! Zeng Qing¡¯s hands were trembling as he said in a trembling voice, ¡°Can, can I make a call?¡± The policeman frowned. After some discussion, he allowed it. Holding the phone, Zeng Qing was extremely flustered. He dialed the wrong number a couple of times and only seeded on the third try. The ¡°beep, beep¡± sounds from the phone made him even more nervous. Zeng Qing held the phone tightly, the veins in his hands bulging. Soon the call was answered. ¡°Hello?¡± Zhang Li¡¯s clear and crisp voice sounded. Zeng Qing, who felt like he had met his savior, was a little agitated. He said quickly, ¡°Lili, Lili, save me. that b*tch, Qiao Sisi, got me arrested. Send someone to save me.¡± His voice trembled slightly. He only had one savior left! The other end of the phone was silent for a while. Zhang Li was a little angry. ¡°Zeng Qing! You still have the cheek to look for me? Not only did you have an affair with Qiao Sisi, but you also created such a scandal. How can a person like you be worthy of me!¡± Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Little Wildcat

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

The string in Zeng Qing¡¯s heart snapped. Zeng Qing held the phone for a long time without saying anything, which made Zhang Li feel a little baffled. ¡°Lili, are you unwilling to save me?¡± Zeng Qing¡¯s face flushed. Zhang Li smiled coldly and said, ¡°Being with you is a stain. I won¡¯t save you. Stop calling me!¡± ¡°Beep, beep¡­¡± She had hung up. Zeng Qing¡¯s eyes were red as he squatted on the floor with his head in his hands. His life was ruined now. Everything was destroyed! The school had also sent notification that students like Zeng Qing, who had relied on giarism to gain admission, were not fit to be students. He was expelled. Sometimes, losing everything came so quickly. The sky gradually darkened, and thest hint of sunset disappeared into the horizon. The evening was melding into night. It was almost time to get off work. The people from Jinyu Company packed their things and prepared to get off work. ¡°Sisi, aren¡¯t you going home?¡± Li Man walked past Qiao Sisi¡¯s desk and saw that she was still busy with the design drafts. When she heard her voice, Qiao Sisi quickly looked up and smiled as she said, ¡°I know. Thank you, Sister Li. I¡¯ll get going now.¡± ...... With that, she ced the design drafts neatly in a file before picking up her bag to get off work. She had gained a lot that day. As she walked out of thepany, Qiao Sisi was in a good mood. She had benefited greatly from those design drafts and had forgotten about the disgusting Zeng Qing in the morning. ¡°Buzz¡­¡± The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Qiao Sisi made a guess. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed a call from Anna. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s up, Anna? I just got off work,¡± Qiao Sisi said as she picked up her call. On the other end of the phone, Chen Anna said in surprise, ¡°Sisi, from your tone, do you still not know about that matter?¡± ¡°Know what? Tell me.¡± Qiao Sisi held the phone, a puzzled expression on her face. Could something have happened that she did not know about? Chen Annaughed loudly. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t you know, I just heard that Zeng Qing was expelled from school for giarism. It was amazing.¡± ¡°So soon?¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes widened. This incident had just happened today. She did not expect the school to know about it in just a few hours. It seemed like Zheng Zeyi had done something. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s fast. He should have been arrested a long time ago. I knew Zeng Qing wasn¡¯t a good person. He cheated on Zhang Li behind your back and even giarized a thesis. Now he has been sentenced. He should just stay in jail,¡± Chen Anna said in relief. Yang Yueyue¡¯s scheme to use Zeng Qing to nder Qiao Sisi had failed. Now he was gone. Qiao Sisi could not helpughing. After seeing Zeng Qing clearly, her feelings for this man had long disappeared. Sentencing him to jail was probably the best news that day other than joining Jinyu Corporation. ¡°Oh right, Sisi, did Zeng Qing cause trouble at yourpany today?¡± Chen Anna suddenly remembered something and asked quickly. QIao Sisi remembered what happened in the morning and replied, ¡°Yes, how did you know?¡± On the other end of the line, Chen Anna rubbed her chin in deep thought. After a moment, she analyzed, ¡°What I heard just now was that someone must be pulling strings for Zeng Qing to be exposed for giarism. Sisi, tell me the truth. Is it that scheming Zheng Zeyi? Qiao Sisi got on the bus and found a seat before answering. ¡°My guess is¡­ it should be so. When Zeng Qing came to cause trouble, he was the one who revealed the matter of giarism. He should be the one who did the rest. It¡¯s probably close to the mark.¡± After all, only Zheng Zeyi would help them now. Qiao Sisi thought of the agreement between the two of them to pretend to be engaged and many thoughts immediately formed in her mind. After a while, she quickly shook his head and suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart. What am I thinking! Zheng Zeyi is ruthless. Acting is acting. Stop thinking! Chen Anna did not know what was on Qiao Sisi¡¯s mind. She just smiled mischievously. ¡°It seems like Zheng Zeyi is quite good to you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯m home. I¡¯ll talk to youter.¡± Qiao Sisi was speechless. The bus had arrived at the bus stop. She quickly hung up and put the phone into her pocket. Zheng Zeyi did not live in a vi. Instead he lived in an upscale apartment in the city center that was very safe and exquisitely designed. Four bedrooms and a living room. Qiao Sisi had decided that it would probably take a long time for her to buy a simr apartment. In her pocket was the apartment key that Zheng Zeyi had given her. The elevator quickly reached the 10th floor. At the door, Qiao Sisi took out her key. When she opened the door, she saw that the lights in the apartment were on. Zheng Zeyi, dressed in a bathrobe, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he heard the door open, he turned around and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Qiao Sisi forced a smile as if to answer, but her heart could not help beating faster. After closing the door, she walked straight to her room. ¡°Wait.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice came from behind. Qiao Sisi stopped in her tracks and turned around. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± As soon as she turned around, she came face-to-face with Zheng Zeyi on the sofa. It seemed that he had just taken a shower, and small drops of water were still dripping from his hair. The water droplets slid down his exquisite corbones and down to his chest, disappearing into a certain area blocked by his bathrobe. It was too seductive! Qiao Sisi¡¯s breathing became erratic. Her pupils constricted and she quickly looked away, her ears turning red. Zheng Zeyi looked at her with a smile in his eyes and pointed to the kitchen. ¡°As my fianc¨¦e, shouldn¡¯t you fulfill the responsibility of cooking?¡± At this moment, Qiao Sisi only wanted to escape to her room. She nodded and agreed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do itter.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she ran back to her room, as if there was a prehistoric beast behind her. ¡°Little wildcat¡­¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile deepened as he watched her run away. After running back to her room, Qiao Sisi hurriedly closed the door and panted with her back against it. Fortunately, she had escaped from him. Qiao Sisi¡¯s cheeks were still hot. She covered them with her hands and went to the toilet to wash her face with cold water. Her racing heart had calmed down at this moment. Useless. Qiao Sisi looked at herself in the mirror in exasperation. Even if she did not deny that Zheng Zeyi was a handsome man, she should not be so embarrassed. She wondered why that person wasughing behind her back! Qiao Sisi shook her head and threw her bag on the bed. After confirming that she came back to her senses, Qiao Sisi opened the door and left the room. Zheng Zeyi was still sitting on the sofa, leaning against the soft pillow, but there was a white towel on his head. Chapter 13

Chapter 13: I Take Back My Thoughts

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

¡°Wipe yourself dry. Good, good.¡± Qiao Sisi grinned and walked quickly into the kitchen. As she entered the kitchen, she could hear his deepughter in the living room. Qiao Sisi could not be bothered with so much and started to cook. The ingredients in the kitchen were veryplete, and she just had to put her culinary skills to work. As she had been independent since she was young, she naturally knew the essentials of cooking. The sound of cooking went on for about an hour. Soon the table was set with dishes of various colors, aromas, and vors. Qiao Sisi removed her apron and took out two pairs of cutlery. Dinner began quietly. Zheng Zeyi had good table manners. As he ate, he praised her culinary skills. ¡°By the way, Zheng Zeyi, how did you find evidence of Zeng Qing¡¯s giarism?¡± Qiao Sisi broke the silence. Her cheeks were stuffed with food and she could not speak clearly. Zheng Ze looked up and smiled. ¡°Why do you want to know?¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi¡¯s interest was diminished as she pursed her lips. ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to tell me.¡± It was not that she had to know. She was just curious about how it happened in such a short time. Zeng Qing looked harmless on the surface, but he was worse than a beast. Qiao Sisi was well aware of this. After all, she had been ndered by this person before. ...... Zeng Qing would have been very careful with something as serious as giarism. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to obtain the evidence so quickly. Zheng Zeyi picked up an egg and said calmly, ¡°If we do something, we inevitably leave some evidence behind.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. I have to thank you.¡± Qiao Sisi stopped eating and thanked him sincerely with a serious expression. If not for his help, today¡¯s matter would not have ended so easily, and Zeng Qing would not have been jailed. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and began his routine. ¡°I helped you with such a big favor. How are you going to thank me?¡± ¡°Thank you¡­ Young Master Zheng, look at me¡ªI am poor and have nothing to give you.¡± Qiao Sisi blinked. ¡°You do.¡± Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows curiously. ¡°Huh?¡± She did not know what else she could use as a gift. ¡°Don¡¯t you think giving yourself to me is a good choice?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. A trap! Qiao Sisi cursed his shamelessness in her heart, but of course, she did not dare to say it out loud. After all, he was the one who sent her to Jinyu, so she had to put on a show. ¡°No, no, no. How am I worthy of Young Master Zheng? You must be joking.¡± Qiao Sisi waved her hand and gave a fake smile. The two of them exchanged verbal blows like they were ying Taiji. The meal ended quickly, and the sky hadpletely darkened. The dark sky was dotted with stars that emitted weak light. Qiao Sisi was wearing pajamas. She ced her hands on the edge of the balcony and looked up at the sky. It had to be said that the apartment Zheng Zeyi chose was in a very good location. The night view was excellent and the gentle breeze felt good. ¡°A vast sky full of stars¡­¡± Qiao Sisi could not help but murmur. She recalled the design draft of the ¡®Starry Sky¡¯ series of jewelry she had seen today and felt her heart burn. One day when the jewelry I design are listed for sale, they could also be a scenery in the eyes of others¡­ Looking at the sky, a glimmer of inspiration shed across Qiao Sisi¡¯s mind. She thought for a while but could not seem to pin down her ideas. No, I have to write them down.?Qiao Sisi smiled. She thought of a name that might be suitable for her jewelry series. Deep sea. After returning to her room, Qiao Sisi took out a few sheets of sketching paper and began to make rough sketches ording to what was on her mind. She was so engrossed that when Zheng Zeyi opened the door and leaned against it to watch her sketch, she did not even notice. However, Zheng Zeyi did not stay for long. He watched for a while before returning to his room. On the other hand, Qiao Sisi could not stop her muse and only fell asleepte at night. The night was peaceful. The sun had just risen in the morning. As it was officially her first day at work, Qiao Sisi woke up early and made two sets of breakfast. After eating her portion, she was about to rush to the office when she bumped into Zheng Zeyi, who had woken up. He was wearing a sleeping robe. A few strands of his hair were sticking up. There was a smile in his eyes, which made him look outstanding. ¡°Morning, Young Master Zheng.¡± Qiao Sisi was in a good mood. Zheng Zeyi nodded and sat down to eat. His every move was dignified and elegant. Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips twitched. She was really good at pretending. ¡°I¡¯ll get going first, Young Master Zheng.¡± After saying that, without waiting for Zheng Zeyi to reply, Qiao Sisi left the apartment in a hurry and took the public bus to the office. When she arrived at the office, it was already 8 am. ¡°Morning, Sister Li.¡± Qiao Sisi had just entered thepany when she saw Li Man. She smiled and greeted her. ¡°Morning, Sisi. How was your review of the design drafts yesterday?¡± Li Man asked. As she had just arrived at the office yesterday, it was normal to familiarize herself with the design drafts. Once that is done, she could start arranging other tasks. After all, jewelry designers had a lot to learn. Qiao Sisi thought for a moment and said, ¡°Sister Li, I¡¯m almost done.¡± She had basically finished reading the drafts from yesterday and was not lying. Lee Man was slightly surprised, but she did not say anything. She led Qiao Sisi to an empty office. The office was not big, but there were many shelves that resembled bookshelves. There were many drafts ced there, and they were a little messy. ¡°Sister Li, what do I need to do?¡± Qiao Sisi asked, some thoughts arising in her heart. As expected, newbies needed to undergo training. They could not start designing jewelry officially at once. Li Man pointed at these drafts and said, ¡°Organize the design drafts in this room over the next few days and put them in files.¡± After she gave a rough introduction of the workflow, Qiao Sisi understood. These were tasks for newbies who had yet to do the actual design work. She was already prepared for this. After Li Man went to work, only Qiao Sisi was left in the office. To be honest, she quite liked going through these design drafts. Although they belonged to other people, she could learn a lot from them and even gain some inspiration. An hourter¡­ I take back my thoughts. Qiao Sisi looked up at the sky. There were simply too many design drafts. They were in a mess and the entire office had at least tens of thousands of them. It was indeed a little tiring to find, categorize, and ssify them, and then organize the shelves. Qiao Sisi continued to be on her feet. She picked up a stack of design drafts from the floor and ced them on the table. She selected one category and ced the drafts in a file. The morning passed and she had less than 10% of the work done. During lunch break, Qiao Sisi temporarily put down her design drafts and went to thepany¡¯s cafeteria for lunch. Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Definitely Arriving Later

When Qiao Sisi arrived at the cafeteria, there were already many people inside. After taking her lunch box, she found an empty seat and sat down. There were three or four women at the next table. They were huddling together and gossiping. Gossip¡­ Qiao Sisi quietly moved closer to hear the women¡¯s conversation. ¡°Hey, have you heard? That newbie, Qiao Sisi, is Young Master Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e,¡± the long-haired woman lowered her voice and said. The short-haired woman opposite her curled her lips. ¡°I knew it yesterday. That man came over and made such a big fuss. He acted as though no one could hear themotion.¡± When Zeng Qing came yesterday, many of her colleagues at thepany saw him, so there were many who knew that Qiao Sisi was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Young Master Zheng to have such taste. If I had known, I would have tried my luck with him too. Who knows, I might have been selected.¡± The long-haired woman flicked the rice in her bowl. It seemed tasteless to her. ¡°Zheng Zeyi is an eligible bachelor. Whoever hooka up with him will not have to worry about money for the rest of her life. She¡¯d definitely have a good life.¡± ¡°Stop dreaming. How would we know what Young Master Zheng is thinking? Just enjoy our meal.¡± The short-haired woman shook her head. All in all, everyone at the table was discussing how bad Zheng Zeyi¡¯s taste was. He did not find a socialite but amoner. Perhaps it was because they were not so lucky, so they were full of resentment. Qiao Sisi, who was listening by the side, had a headache.?Who are these people? Am I very bad? ...... They even dream that Zheng Zeyi will fall for them. Forget it, let¡¯s eat.?Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and gathered her thoughts as she ate the food in front of her. After lunch, she headed back to work. It was still a busy day. During this time, Qiao Sisi also heard some news. CEO Xiang would be returning to the office soon after dealing with overseas matters. If nothing went wrong, she should be back in a few days. Thinking that she would be able to meet her idol soon, Qiao Sisi felt even more motivated to work. A few hourster, Qiao Sisi, who was busy in her office, heard someone talking in the hallway. Because there was a door between them, she did not hear very clearly. ¡°Chairman Xiang, let¡¯s hold¡­ the designerpetition¡­¡± She heard only those few words. Qiao Sisi looked thoughtful. If she did not hear wrongly, there would be the designerpetition. Indeed,ing to Jinyu was the right choice! Last night, she made a sketch. If a designerpetition wasunched, it might be a good opportunity for her. Qiao Sisi was beautiful and her movements were agile. She had already organized more than 10 document files. At the same time, she had gained a lot of knowledge and had a better understanding of costume jewelry design. She busied herself until evening. After a long day, Qiao Sisi massaged her hands, picked up her bag, and got ready to leave the office. As she went with the crowd and walked out of the office, a familiar figure stood at the entrance. ¡°Anna!¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes lit up as she quickly called out and waved. Hearing her voice, Chen Anna waved her hand in delight. ¡°I¡¯m here. Come quickly.¡± There were many people who got off work at this time and the entrance of thepany was packed with people. Qiao Sisi struggled to make her way through the crowd to Chen Anna. ¡°Anna, why are you here to see me?¡± Chen Anna rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Our Ms. Qiao hase to work at the ce of her dreams. Can¡¯t you let me visit you?¡± ¡°Permission granted. I was just saying it casually.¡± Qiao Sisi smiled. The two of them held hands and left Jinyu Corporation. The streets in the shopping district were crowded at night, and various lights in front of the stores lit up the night. It was evening rush hour, so the streets were crowded and lively, which made shopping more fun. Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna walked on the streets arm in arm. Because of their good looks and figure, they attracted the attention of many passers-by. After all, good-looking people would always attract attention. ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s go to the department store at the central. The jewelry counter there has new products on disy,¡± Chen Anna said mysteriously. Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise. ¡°New products?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, my information can¡¯t be wrong. Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± After saying that, Chen Anna pulled Qiao Sisi towards the department store. The three-storied department store was located in the center of themercial street. The first floor consisted mostly of clothes, restaurants, and food stores. The third floor consisted of cosmetics and jewelry. Of course, apart from some items on special offer, prices were not cheap. The department store was packed. Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna took the elevator to the third floor, which was less crowded than the first floor. Butpared to usual times, there were a lot more people. They had probably heard about the new products beforeing here. ¡°Are you talking about that ce?¡± Qiao Sisi pointed to a jewelry store surrounded by many people. On the top were these poetic words, ¡®Lanxing[Lanxing means Star-Embracing] Pavilion.¡¯ She seemed to have heard of this jewelry store before. It was a high-end jewelry store and the customers who frequented it were wealthy people. Chen Anna nced at her and nodded excitedly. ¡°Yes, yes, this is the ce. Let¡¯s go watch the show.¡± The two of them looked at each other andughed as they walked towards Lanxing Pavilion. As the saying went, disputes arose where there were many people. When Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna arrived at the jewelry store, they felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. There was a counter in front of the salesperson, but it was temporarily empty. There was nothing inside. ¡°The new products don¡¯t seem to be here yet.¡± Qiao Sisi looked at the empty counter and began to doubt the authenticity of someone¡¯s words. Chen Anna quickly raised her hand to defend herself. ¡°Wait a little longer. They¡¯ll be there soon!¡± Qiao Sisi nodded. She did not really care about any new products, so she and Chen Anna started looking at other jewelry on the counter. Bracelet, ne, ring, earrings¡­ Everything that should be there was there, and the workmanship was exquisite. They certainly lived up to the name, Lanxing Pavilion. The two of them shopped for a while before the sales assistant made an announcement. A few ck gift boxes were now opened and their contents ced on the counter. ¡°Honorable customers, this is a new product from the Lanxing Pavilion. Master Yalin designed it herself. We only have a few pieces in our store.¡± The female customers, who were scattered around the store, flocked to the counter. It seemed that this new product was much anticipated. It caught Qiao Sisi¡¯s attention. She quickly went to the counter with Chen Anna and saw a few opened ck gift boxes. Inside the gift box were a few slightly different-looking diamond nes that emitted a dazzling light under the refraction of the light. In the bottom right corner of the gift box was the name of the ne, Tears of the Mermaid. Like a mermaid¡¯s tears, there was a light blue gemstone in the shape of a teardrop at the end of the ne. It had an extremely delicate luster and was so beautiful that one could not take one¡¯s eyes off it. Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Let¡¯s Just Take a Look

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

¡°Sisi, do you know who Master Yalin is?¡± Chen Anna whispered into Qiao Sisi¡¯s ear. Qiao Sisi snapped, ¡°I¡¯m not ignorant. Of course I know who she is. A renowned jewelry designer who designs only a few pieces of jewelry.¡± Master Yalin was quite famous in the industry. Most importantly, she designed only limited edition jewelry, so every piece was sought after. This Tears of the Mermaid was probably simr. Qiao Sisi did not have that much spare money. She came to Lanxing Pavilion with the intention of viewing the exhibits. She could not afford to buy any. As the two chatted, a few female customers arrived at Lanxing Pavilion. Chen Anna frowned and turned around to look at the people who just came in. Her face was full of disdain as she tugged at Qiao Sisi¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Sisi, there¡¯s an unexpected guest.¡± Qiao Sisi came back to her senses and looked at the people who had just arrived. She saw a familiar person. Dressed in a white slim waist dress, she was wearing makeup that she thought was gorgeous and a pair of high heels. It was their sworn enemy¡ªYang Yueyue. There were also a few other women who were dressed in a simr fashion. They were probably friends. Qiao Sisi sighed and could not help tapping her forehead.?How troublesome running into her,?she thought. Now Yang Yueyue had obviously noticed the two of them. The smile instantly vanished from her face. ...... ¡°Why are you two here?!¡± A sharp female voice sounded. Chen Anna shook her head in exasperation. ¡°Why, Miss Yang, are you the only one allowed toe here? Are you kidding me? This is a public ce, and you¡¯re still acting like a big missy.¡± Yang Yueyue¡¯s face darkened. There was a glint in her eyes as she looked at Qiao Sisi. She curled her lips into a mocking smile. ¡°Tch, who is this that I see? Isn¡¯t she the mistress who snatched Zhang Li¡¯s boyfriend? And now she has hooked up with my cousin. Wow, her tactics are highly effective.¡± Although Zeng Qing had been jailed and Zhang Li had abandoned him, this name was revolting. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi had introduced Qiao Sisi as his fianc¨¦e at the party previously. As Yang Yueyue recalled the incident, she got quite angry. After what she said, the atmosphere in Lanxing Pavilion became tense. The gazes of many female customers fell on them but they merely took a nce and then moved away, one after another. Qiao Sisi sneered as her disgust for Yang Yueyue increased. ¡°Yang Yueyue, stop spouting nonsense with your big mouth. We both know what happened. Zeng Qing deserved what he got. Why? Are you envious of me? Besides, I¡¯m your cousin-inw now. Please watch your attitude when you talk to me!¡± She emphasized thest few words in a mocking manner. Zheng Zeyi had given her a good identity. Since she could use it to anger Yang Yueyue now, why not? The two of them were arch-enemies to begin with and did not get along well in school, so there was no need to be sensitive to her feelings. Yang Yueyue was burning with anger. She frowned and her sharp voice echoed through the entire Lanxing Pavilion. ¡°Qiao Sisi, you b*tch. You¡¯re the one talking nonsense. My cousin must be bewitched by you!¡± Instantly, the entire Lanxing Pavilion fell silent as they watched this farce unfold. A woman who was with Yang Yueyue saw this and a hint of emotion shed across her eyes. She quickly stood up to be a mediator. She patted Yang Yueyue¡¯s back and said, ¡°Alright, Yueyue, don¡¯t be angry. Some people have no proper upbringing. We don¡¯t want to be ill-breds like them. Can¡¯t believe that they¡¯re here at Lanxing Pavilion. Don¡¯t they know that this is not a ce for them?¡± The meaning of her words was obvious. Anger welled up in Qiao Sisi¡¯s heart, but she maintained a calm expression. She had seen many people who supported the strong and trampled on the weak. Chen Anna raised her eyebrows andughed in anger. ¡°Do you really think that Lanxing Pavilion is run by your family? After talking so much, you¡¯re just useless.¡± ¡°Forget it, forget it, Anna. Let¡¯s not argue with someone who¡¯s crazy. After all, I¡¯m her cousin-inw.¡± Qiao Sisi shook her head in frustration. The two of them echoed each other, leaving Yang Yueyue and her friend a little dumbfounded. Yang Yueyue gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Qiao Sisi, just you wait. One day, I will teach you a lesson.¡± This was the kind of person who would definitely take revenge. Qiao Sisi did not mind at all. She even smiled and nodded. ¡°Alright, cousin-inw, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Yang Yueyue was so angry that she almost fainted. Her voluptuous chest heaved up and down, and Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna thought that she would pass out the next second. However, Yang Yueyue managed to suppress her anger. She realized that her demeanor earlier was unbing of someone from a prestigious family, so she stopped yelling. After the farce was over, the sales assistant smiled awkwardly and coughed twice to redirect everyone¡¯s attention to the new Tears of the Mermaid. ¡°Currently, Tears of the Mermaid is only avable at Lanxing Pavilion. Everyone can see that it stands out from the other pieces just by looking at it.¡± Someone in the crowd at the counter asked incredulously, ¡°Only Lanxing Pavilion has these pieces?¡± Usually, masterpieces would indeed be monopolized, but there were many jewelry storesparable to Lanxing Pavilion in the city. Everyone was in disbelief. The sales assistant smiled and exined gently, ¡°Master Yalin and the boss of Lanxing Pavilion are old friends, so this piece is only for Lanxing Pavilion.¡± Immediately, discussions ensued, as many people started whispering to each other. ¡°Sisi, what do you think?¡± Chen Anna asked as she looked at Tears of the Mermaid ced on the counter. Qiao Sisi rubbed her chin with an appreciative expression on her exquisite little face. ¡°Both the style and the carving are top-notch, as expected of Master Yalin¡¯s work.¡± She was not lying. There were not more than 20 people in the jewelry industry who could design such a piece. As one could well imagine, Master Yalin¡¯s ability was worthy of the title ¡®Master¡¯ in the industry. ¡°What a pity¡­¡± Chen Anna shook her head regretfully. It was a pity that the two of them could not afford any piece. There were always people who liked to admire beautiful things, not to mention gorgeous jewelry. It was just that sometimes, they could not afford to own them. ¡°Customers.¡± The sales assistant suddenly said, ¡°Other than the one in the middle that is not for sale, the rest are clearly priced.¡± With that, she took out a few price tags and ced them directly under the boxes. Many people gasped at the prices of the nes and took some time to process the information. Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna took a look and were also shocked by the high prices. Each ne was worth more than half a million yuan. Only a few people present could fork out such a big sum of money. ¡°Let¡¯s just watch.¡± Qiao Sisi pulled Chen Anna two steps back. Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Idol Xiang Jinyu

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Chen Anna had the same thought. A price above half a million yuan was too much for them to afford. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it!¡± A woman in the crowd said. It was Yang Yueyue, who had earlier argued with them. Everyone moved aside to let her walk to the counter. Yang Yueyue pointed at the ne on the left and smiled smugly. ¡°I¡¯ll have this.¡± ¡°Alright, customer. I¡¯ll wrap it up for you now.¡± The salesperson smiled and quickly put the ne in a ck-gold box. She did so quickly, afraid that Yang Yueyue would renege on her purchase. Yang Yueyue held the bag with the ne and handed her bank card to the salesperson. At the same time, she gave Qiao Sisi a smug look. ¡°Tsk, what are you so proud of? So what if you¡¯re rich?¡± Chen Anna said in disdain. Qiao Sisi also felt baffled.?Why is she baring her fangs and brandishing the ne at me??she thought.?Her way of thinking is really strange. After paying, Yang Yueyue walked to the two of them in her high heels and looked down at Qiao Sisi. ¡°Ha¡­ Be envious. There are some things that you can¡¯t afford.¡± Yang Yueyue could not helpughing as she picked up the bag in her hand. She naturally had the right to brag about a ne worth more than half a million yuan. ...... Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and walked up to Yang Yueyue when no one was looking. There were only a few centimeters between them. The close proximity between them felt oppressive. ¡°What¡­ What are you doing?¡± Yang Yueyue could not help but take a step back. Her voice was very sharp, and the calmness a moment ago had be a facade. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Qiao Sisi smiled, but to Yang Yueyue, her smile was a little scary. She could not help but grip the bag in her hand tightly. The scene was so exciting that Chen Anna clicked her tongue in wonder. After a silent pause, Qiao Sisi seemed to have remembered something and said, ¡°You seem to have forgotten that I¡¯m your cousin-inw. How should you address me?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t acknowledge you as my cousin-inw!¡± Yang Yueyue gritted her teeth in hatred. ¡°I don¡¯t care how you crawled into my cousin¡¯s bed, but I won¡¯t let him be bewitched by you, b*tch. Just you wait!¡± After hearing her utterance, Qiao Sisi wanted to p. Crawl my *ss! She recalled the night they had sex. There was no resistance from that man at all. Qiao Sisi¡¯s voice was a little cold. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you can ask your cousin what happened. He insisted on courting me. Also, I hope you¡¯ll show some respect when you talk to me next time.¡± ¡°You!¡± Yang Yueyue was fuming with rage. She knew that she had been defeated today. She stomped her feet and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The women who were watching the show promptly went along with Yang Yueyue and left Lanxing Pavilion. Watching the few of them escape, Qiao Sisi could not help but admire her own intelligence. Not only did she put herself out of the picture with her words, but she even described Zheng Zeyi as someone who courted her. Chen Anna patted her back in praise and smiled. ¡°Well done, Sisi. Zheng Zeyi has been conquered by you.¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t you know the truth?¡± After Yang Yueyue left, Qiao Sisi¡¯s attention returned to the jewelry. Chen Anna muttered, ¡°Zheng Zeyi is not a simple person. There¡¯s something fishy about getting you to pretend to be his fianc¨¦e. He might have taken a liking to you.¡± Qiao Sisi could not be bothered with her friend¡¯s thoughts. She focused on Tears of the Mermaid which was ced in the middle of the disy counter. This ne was not for sale. In Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes, this was the best piece. A few hourster. Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna parted ways. One returned to her home while the other went to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment. The apartment was dark when she opened the door. ¡°Zheng Zeyi?¡± Qiao Sisi said tentatively, but there was no response. Even when the lights were switched on, no one was in sight. It did not look like he was at home. He must have something to attend to outside. Without Zheng Zeyi, Qiao Sisi felt much more rxed. She ced her bag on the sofa and buried herself in it. After a tiring day, she could finally rest. After a while, Qiao Sisi fell asleep. Her breathing was slow and gentle as she curled up on the sofa and hugged a pillow to sleep. What she did not know was thatte at night, Zheng Zeyi, who had returned home, carried her to the bed and covered her with a nket. ¡­ After living in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment for a few days, Qiao Sisi got used to it. Zheng Zeyi was rarely in the apartment and one hardly saw him. It was as if she was living alone in such a big apartment. She felt happy and rxed. Qiao Sisi picked up the tea on her desk and took a few sips. She sat in her chair and looked at the documents on herputer. She had already sorted the design drafts in the office previously and was now learning how to design. She had credentials, but she still needed to gain experience. ¡°Sisi, Sisi,¡± she heard her colleague, Lin Ya, calling her. Qiao Sisi put down her teacup and turned around in confusion. ¡°What is it?¡± Lin Ya moved the table closer and said softly, ¡°Do you know? I heard that CEO Xiang is returning to thepany today.¡± Director Xiang ising back to thepany. Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes lit up. That was her idol. She had seen her on television for so many years.?Could I see her face-to-face today??she wondered. ¡°When?¡± Lin Ya shook her head slightly. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that. I heard that the matter overseas has been settled, so Chairman Xiang will be back today.¡± After receiving this precise information, Qiao Sisi was a little excited. The office was buzzing with excitement the entire afternoon. Finally, the long-awaited moment came when the department manager arrived. He pped his hands to attract everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Listen, CEO Xiang will be back soon. Work hard and let her see your good attitude.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± After saying this, the department manager left. There were whispers in the office, as everyone discussed Xiang Jinyu¡¯s return. Qiao Sisi was the only one who calmed down after the excitement and started working. After about 10 minutes, the elevator sounded and a woman wearing sunsses walked out. She was tall and was donning a white top. She was wearing wide pants that showed off her long legs and heels that were about three to four centimeters high. She looked extraordinary. Qiao Sisi was working when she sensed someone passing by. She looked up and saw an exquisite face under a pair of sunsses. Moreover, she exuded a strong aura. One look and one could tell that she was a sessful career woman. This was¡­ her idol, Xiang Jinyu! Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips could not help curling up. However, Xiang Jinyu did not stop there. She walked straight into an office. So stylish.?Qiao Sisi smiled and stared at her back for a long time. This was the person she wanted to be. Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Just Get Ready

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Unfortunately, there was no simrity between the two at the moment. Qiao Sisi narrowed her eyes and set a goal for herself. She must be a jewelry designer like Xiang Jinyu. Time passed slowly. The clock¡¯s needle pointed to noon. Qiao Sisi, who was engrossed in her work, looked up to see a tall figure blocking the clock. ¡°You finally responded?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled devilishly. His face was so close that Qiao Sisi could see the fine hairs on his face. Qiao Sisi quickly got up and took a few steps back, her voice much softer. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Hearing that, Zheng Zeyi stood up straight and drummed on the table with his long fingers. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to visit my fianc¨¦e.¡± ¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡± Qiao Sisi red at Zheng Zeyi. She scarcely realized that this coquettish look of hers made his gaze darken. At this moment, many of his colleagues had gone to the cafeteria for lunch, and there were only a few people in the office. She did not be the center of attention. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zheng Zeyi pulled Qiao Sisi¡¯s hand. The sudden pull caused QIao Sisi to stagger but Zheng Zeyi held her in time and asked, ¡°Where shall we go? I still have to have lunch.¡± ...... What the hell? Working diligently can also attract Zheng Zeyi,?she thought. Moreover, he was not taking her in the direction of the canteen or out of thepany. Instead¡­ it was Xiang Jinyu¡¯s office?! When she realized what was going on, she stopped in her tracks. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and held her little hand tightly. ¡°I remember¡­ Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to see your idol? I¡¯ll take you there.¡± ¡°You¡¯re taking me to see Xiang Jinyu?¡± An indescribable emotion surged within her. She thought that as the young master, Zheng Zeyi would not take such a small matter to heart. However, his behavior now told her that he remembered. Qiao Sisi¡¯s emotions were a littleplicated, and she looked at Zheng Zeyi with a somewhat indescribable expression. The sun shone on the two of them through the window, giving them a touch of radiance in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked with a smile in his eyes. Qiao Sisi blushed for some reason and quickly lowered her head to hide her awkwardness. She followed Zheng Zeyi into the office. The door to Xiang Jinyu¡¯s office was ajar. It was not closed, as if she was expecting someone. The two of them had just walked to the office door when Xiang Jinyu¡¯s slightly hoarse voice came from inside. ¡°Come in.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he held Qiao Sisi¡¯s hand and walked in. The office was very spacious. A gorgeous but cold-looking woman sat in front of a three-meter-long desk. She was the CEO of Jinyu Company, Xiang Jinyu. Zheng Zeyi did not greet her but took a long stride to the sofa and sat down. He even pulled Qiao Sisi onto the sofa. Hmm¡­ Something was not right! Qiao Sisi, who was still confused, suddenly reacted and quickly stood up from the sofa. ¡°CEO Xiang.¡± After she finished speaking, Xiang Jinyu looked up with a curious expression. ¡°A new member of thepany? Are you the person Zheng Zeyi rmended?¡± Qiao Sisi gritted her teeth and nodded. Although she had entered through the back door, since she was already here, she hoped that CEO Xiang would not have any objections to her. ¡°Sit and talk.¡± There was a pen between Xiang Jinyu¡¯s fingers as she pointed at the sofa Zheng Zeyi was sitting on. Qiao Sisi shook her head. She did not want to leave a bad impression on Xiang Jinyu. ¡°It¡¯s alright, CEO Xiang. I can just stand¡­¡± Before she could finish, a pair of strong hands suddenly wrapped around Qiao Sisi¡¯s waist and pulled her onto the sofa. She sank into the leather sofa. Qiao Sisi could not react but she could not re up either. She red and said, ¡°What are you doing, Zheng Zeyi!¡± To Zheng Zeyi, she looked just like an angry little wildcat. He was full of smiles. Because Xiang Jinyu was around, Qiao Sisi did not continue speaking after she said that. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what do you want to ask me?¡± Xiang Jinyu put down his pen and looked at Zheng Zeyi. The two of them were both in the business world and were both influential figures. In addition, they had been friends since they were young, so their rtionship was quite good. Zheng Zeyi leaned on the sofa and narrowed his long eyes. After a moment, he said, ¡°Isn¡¯t yourpany organizing a business trip to Yunqiter?¡± Xiang Jinyu paused and nodded. ¡°Indeed. Why? Do you want to rmend someone?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. What do you think of her?¡± As Zheng Zeyi spoke, the topic was shifted to the unrted person, Qiao Sisi. Even the person involved was stunned. Qiao Sisi frowned and tugged at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Stop talking. I can¡¯t.¡± She got a foot in the door through Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rmendation. During this period, she only wanted to work hard and learnt the ropes. She had not thought of going on a business trip. Neers would be hated if they were given too much preferential treatment. Xiang Jinyu understood a little. She tilted her head and looked at Qiao Sisi. ¡°Looks like Young Master Zheng has a crush on someone?¡± ¡°She¡¯s my fianc¨¦e,¡± Zheng Zeyi said with emphasis. Before Qiao Sisi could say anything, Xiang Jinyu had already taken a document from the drawer. She picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it, then stamped it. The series of actions was done smoothly. Putting the documents back into the drawer, Xiang Jinyu said to Qiao Sisi, ¡°I¡¯ve already put you on the business trip list. We¡¯ll leave in three days. As for the work request, I¡¯ll get my assistant to brief you. You just have to prepare well.¡± A pie fell from the sky, and Qiao Sisi felt that it was unreal. However, she was still not ready to ept it. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, CEO Xiang. Don¡¯t listen to Zheng Zeyi. I can¡¯t do it. You should give the spot to someone else.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He leaned on the side and watched calmly. He even wanted to drink some tea. Qiao Sisi had never thought that she would be given such a big responsibility just after joining thepany. She had relied on Zheng Zeyi to get her a job there. She did not want to rely on others to get everything. That would only make her uneasy and, moreover, these things do not belong to her. Xiang Jinyu smiled. Her voice had a calming charm. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since I asked you to participate, it means that I believe you have the ability. Not anyone can enter Jinyu Company. Even if Zheng Zeyi were to stuff people in, I wouldn¡¯t want anyone who doesn¡¯t meet the requirements. I¡¯ve seen your information. You¡¯re a good seedling. This time, you¡¯ll be going on a business trip to learn. I¡¯m very optimistic about your performance. ¡± These words of trust made Qiao Sisi¡¯s heart leap with joy. She could not bring herself to turn her down even though she had wanted to at first. Since CEO Xiang had already said so, there was no point in being coy. Isn¡¯t my goal toe to Jinyu to learn and design the jewelry I like??she thought.?This is a very good opportunity. Chapter 18

Chapter 18: I¡¯ll Report to You When I Arrive

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Qiao Sisi did not reject her further and nodded solemnly. ¡°Thank you, CEO Xiang.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Go back to your work.¡± Xiang Jinyu was rarely so gentle. Qiao Sisi looked at Zheng Ze gratefully and left the office. Only Zheng Zeyi and Xiang Jinyu were left in the huge office. The atmosphere gradually turned cold. Zheng Ze poured a cup of tea and took a sip. ¡°It seems like you value her more than me.¡± There was no doubt in his voice, only certainty. Xiang Jinyu did not retort. She flipped through the documents in her hand and did not speak for a long time. There was only the sound of pages being flipped. ¡°The reason is simple. I can see my previous self in her.¡± ¡­ Qiao Sisi left the office and went to the cafeteria to get her lunch box. She ate at her desk, unwilling to waste any time. She was lucky to be valued. Now she had to work hard. Thepany¡¯s junior assistant must have received Xiang Jinyu¡¯s order to walk over to Qiao Sisi with a document. ¡°Sisi, your documents.¡± The junior assistant was a young girl who handed the documents to Qiao Sisi with a smile. ...... Qiao Sisi took the document and smiled brightly. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. Get to know each other better. After all, this is your first business trip,¡± the junior assistant reminded her. Qiao Sisi looked through the documents briefly. There was not much content. As it was still working hours, she put the documents in her bag, intending to read them after work. There were a few colleagues in the office who were in the midst of writing a script over lunch. The room was very quiet. ¡°Creak¡­¡± The door to Xiang Jinyu¡¯s office opened and Zheng Zeyi strode out in his long legs. He seemed to be in a good mood as they conversed about something. When Qiao Sisi saw who it was, she put down her bowl and chopsticks. ¡°What is it?¡± Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and ced his key in Qiao Sisi¡¯s hand. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll be going away for a few days. This is for safekeeping.¡± His deep voice entered his ears. If he had voice control, she would have been immersed in it long ago. Unfortunately, Qiao Sisi was not. Furthermore, her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi was very awkward, and Yang Yueyue stood between them. Holding the key in her hand, Qiao Sisi suddenly asked, ¡°Are you going on a business trip?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted blurting out that she suddenly cared about him. This was not a good way to be grateful. Zheng Zeyi put on his signature evil smile and pinched Qiao Sisi¡¯s cheek. ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± After saying that, Zheng Zeyi did not stay any longer and left Jinyu Corporation quickly. Qiao Sisi looked at his slender back and touched her face. She pursed her lips and put the key in her bag. Well, she would just keep the key for two days. Zheng Zeyi had done her a big favor. It was only right for her to do so. She would find another chance to thank him. Qiao Sisi consoled herself and looked at the documents on theputer again. Time flew by and it was soon time to get off work. When Qiao Sisi returned to the apartment, Zheng Zeyi was indeed not at home. The apartment was absolutely empty. She cooked dinner for herself. After eating, she made a cup of tea and brought it to the living room. She also brought the document that the junior assistant had given her today. After reading it, she had a better understanding of the business trip. This business trip was to Yunqi, a very famous stone-gambling ce. The reason for going there was because many rare gems could be found inside the unremarkable stones there¡­ These gems were raw materials that were made into jewelry. Gold and silver were not the only things that could be made into jewelry. What Qiao Sisi wanted to do was follow the main group to these ces to acquire some gems that thepany needed. Other than that, she could also look at some local crafts. Fantastic. Qiao Sisi gave herself a thumbs up. It was really a good opportunity. Looking at so much information on aputer could notpare to seeing it with her own eyes or trying it out with her own hands. Excitedly, Qiao Sisi called her good friend Chen Anna and reported the good news. ¡°Oh my god, Yunqi! Sisi, this is a good opportunity.¡± Chen Anna sounded indescribably happy. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely make good use of the opportunity given to me by CEO Xiang,¡± Qiao Sisi said as she closed the document. Fortunately, she did not reject her in the morning. She would regret it for a long time if she missed this opportunity. On the other end of the phone, Chen Anna smiled mischievously. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t you think Zheng Zeyi is going out of his way to treat you well?¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi frowned. She did not quite agree with Chen Anna.?It¡¯s unrealistic for me to think that a rich kid like him would like me. ¡°Anna, I¡¯ll find a chance to thank him for helping me, but we are worlds apart. We should not be talking about affection,¡± Qiao Sisi said earnestly. Chen Anna understood what she meant and did not say anything else. The two of them chatted for a while. Seeing that it was gettingte, they hung up and went to rest. On the floor of Qiao Sisi¡¯s room was a silver suitcase containing some clothes and skincare products. There was nothing else. Although they were leaving in three days, it was better to make preparations in advance to ensure that everything wasplete. The luggage was brought by Qiao Sisi when she arrived at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment a few days ago. It was just nice for the rest of the trip. Hmm¡­ Put the design drafts in too. Qiao Sisi nced at her own design draft on the table and ced it in a separate file in her suitcase Perhaps this industry could make up for some of the deficiencies in the Deep Sea series. The day of departure arrived very quickly. Ever since Zheng Zeyi said that he was going on a business trip, he did not appear in the apartment again. Qiao Sisi had been living alone these past few days. Just as Qiao Sisi was about to leave, Chen Anna called. She sounded reluctant. ¡°Sisi, be careful and stay safe. If you see any local products over there, bring some back for me.¡± So, thest sentence was the main point. Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips curled up as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Work hard. I¡¯ll call you when I get there.¡± With that, she hung up and put her phone in her pocket before leaving the apartment with her suitcase. There was an unending flow of vehicles on the road. Qiao Sisi wiped the sweat on her forehead and waved for a taxi. ¡°Driver, Jinyu Company.¡± Qiao Sisi took out some cash from her pocket and ced it on the front passenger seat. The driver said happily, ¡°Alright.¡± It was morning rush hour and traffic was a little congested. Fortunately, the taxi arrived at its destination on time. After thanking the driver, Qiao Sisi picked up her luggage and walked towards the office. Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Wei Ya, Don¡¯t Cause Trouble

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Before she reached the entrance of thepany, Qiao Sisi saw a ck car parked outside thepany with a few colleagues standing beside it. Among them were familiar faces, Wei Ya and Lin Ya. ¡°Sisi, here!¡± Lin Ya saw Qiao Sisi and waved. Qiao Sisi nodded, dragged her suitcase, and walked quickly towards them. Other than Wei Ya and Lin Ya, the rest of the people standing outside the car were unfamiliar to her. When Wei Ya saw Qiao Sisi, she could not help but sneer disdainfully. She got into the car, as if she was displeased to see her. Qiao Sisi felt that it was ridiculous, but she could not be bothered. ¡°Sisi, so you¡¯re in the list too. You never reveal one bit of your talent.¡± Lin Ya raised her eyebrows and smiled. She was carrying a ck handbag that looked as if it was bursting. Although Qiao Sisi and her office were adjacent to each other, they had never mentioned going to Yunqi on a business trip, so they were both surprised. It seemed that Lin Ya was not bad at designing. Otherwise, she would not have been selected. ¡°I forgot to tell you, get in the car.¡± Qiao Sisi smiled. Seeing that everyone else had gotten into the car, she put her suitcase in the trunk and entered the ck car with Lin Ya. It was a seven-seater car. Qiao Sisi, Lin Ya, and a female colleague, Lili, sat in thest row. Wei Ya happened to sit in front of Qiao Sisi. ...... Together with them was Xiang Jinyu¡¯s junior assistant, the one who had given Qiao Sisi the document previously. She was the leader of this business trip. ¡°This time, we¡¯re mainly going to Yunqi to acquire gemstones and some crafts. Thepany will reimburse the travel and amodation expenses.¡± The junior assistant smiled. Then the car slowly headed for Yunqi. Qiao Sisi leaned back in her seat. There was an information book that she bought in her bag. It contained information about the gemstones in Yunqi. Lin Ya, who was beside her, nced at him and was a little bored. She tried to start a conversation. ¡°Sisi, the itinerary is about five days. Have you thought of where you¡¯d like to visit the rest of the time?¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi closed the information book and answered truthfully, ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we do it together?¡± Seeing how excited Lin Ya was, Qiao Sisi naturally did not reject her. ¡°Sure.¡± This trip appeared to be a business trip on the surface, but it was actually a batch of neers with potential that Xiang Jinyu had selected from thepany. She was letting them learn freely to broaden their horizons. The main tasks and business coborations with somepanies all fell on the junior assistant¡¯s shoulders. She might need the help of Qiao Sisi and the rest. For the next few hours, the car drove along the highway. No one was talking in the car, and it was exceptionally quiet. Qiao Sisi gazed at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window as her thoughts gradually settled. She was really looking forward to this trip to Yunqi. ¡°nk.¡± A slight noise attracted Qiao Sisi¡¯s attention. A Coke bottle was thrown from the front and it hit Lin Ya¡¯s leg. Lin Ya, who was sleeping lightly, woke up immediately and hissed. Qiao Sisie picked up the bottle of Coke. It was very heavy because the bottle was not opened. It would be strange if it did not hurt when such a heavy bottle hit her leg! ¡°Lin Ya, are you alright?¡± Lin Ya shook her head and rubbed her leg. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Holding the bottle of Coke, Qiao Sisi turned to look at the front seat. From this direction, she reckoned that the bottle of Coke was thrown from Wei Ya¡¯s seat. Without dy, Qiao Sisi stood up. The roof of the car was not high. She bent slightly and saw Wei Ya in the front seat. ¡°You can have it back.¡± After those words, the Coke was thrown directly into Wei Ya¡¯sp. She screamed. ¡°Qiao Sisi, are you crazy?¡± Wei Ya red at her, grabbing the Coke so tightly that the veins showed on her hands. This scene attracted the attention of the others in the car. The woman sitting next to Wei Ya said worriedly, ¡°Forget it, Wei Ya.¡± Wei Ya red at her. ¡°I want you to mind your own business. Shut up.¡± His overbearing manner silenced the woman. She had said it out of goodwill, but it was taken as malicious intent. Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows and pointed at the Coke bottle. ¡°Wei Ya, I think your behavior is very childish. Please mind your own business.¡± Wei Ya red at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. You, on the other hand¡­ hit my leg on purpose.¡± Who would believe that she did not do it on purpose? Qiao Sisi was so angry that she was about tough. The junior assistant could hear their argument. Although she was a petite woman, her manner was a little imposing at this moment. ¡°Wei Ya, don¡¯t cause trouble!¡± His voice was a little cold. She had pointed out that Wei Ya was in the wrong but did not say anything bad about Qiao Sisi. It was obvious that the junior assistant was sensible. Qiao Sisi nced at Wei Ya and sat down. She could not condone her outrageous behavior. ¡°Got it.¡± The junior assistant kept staring at Wei Ya. Wei Ya had no choice but to swallow her words and return to her seat angrily. She red at Qiao Sisi but she red back at her. Qiao Sisi pursed her lips. If not for Wei Ya, this trip to Yunqi would have been much easier. Now it seemed like there would be more problems. ¡°Sisi, thank you,¡± Lin Ya leaned in and said softly. Wei Ya was sitting in front. To avoid being overheard by that petty woman and getting into an argument again, it was not appropriate for her to speak too loudly. Qiao Sisi shook her head, having a more favorable impression of Lin Ya. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Helping each other was a small matter among colleagues. This was just a small incident. For the next few hours, Wei Ya did not do anything stupid anymore. It was already six in the evening when they arrived at Yunqi. The sky was much darker and night was approaching. ¡°We¡¯re here. Let¡¯s get out of the car first.¡± The junior assistant wrote a few words on a document, opened the door, and got out of the car. Qiao Sisi and the rest followed closely behind. In front of the car was a five-star hotel. The business expense reimbursements were really generous. The hotel¡¯s interior was gorgeous and luxurious. There were a few meticulously pruned potted nts and a red carpet at the entrance. Qiao Sisi and the rest entered the hotel through the main entrance. As soon as they entered, a woman in a white shirt and a short ck dress greeted them with a smile. She seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. ¡°It¡¯s Jinyu Corporation, right?¡± The junior assistant nodded and handed her a document. After the woman read it, she returned it to the junior assistant and led the way to the hall. ¡°Follow me.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already prepared your rooms.¡± The woman went to the counter to get a few key cards and continued, ¡°The rooms are all on the fifth floor. Two to a room. These are the key cards.¡± The junior assistant took the key cards and thanked her. Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Hello, My Name Is Ye Chen

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

The woman stood at the side to receive them. The junior assistant handed out the key cards. ¡°You can decide who you want to share a room with.¡± Wei Ya took a key card and pulled her suitcase towards the elevator. The other colleagues looked at each other. None of them wanted to share a room with Wei Ya. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll go,¡± a colleague who usually followed Wei Ya whispered and hurried off to look for her. After the key cards were handed out, the junior assistant continued, ¡°Take a rest. We¡¯ll start officially tomorrow.¡± Then she left the lobby. In the huge lobby, the colleagues dispersed, leaving only the two of them. Qiao Sisi held the key card in her hand. Lin Ya smiled prettily and said, ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s share a room.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After reaching an agreement, the two of them took the elevator to the fifth floor. The interior of the hotel was very upscale and well-equipped. There were two single beds in the room and a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, they took in the view below the hotel. It was packed with cars and people. They reckoned the night scene would be more beautiful. Unfortunately, Wei Ya¡¯s room was next to theirs. Qiao Sisi put her luggage down and rubbed her wrist gently. With Lin Ya around, she could not flop on the bed, which might seem rude. So she sat in a corner of the bed. Lin Ya was busy unpacking on the side. She ced all the cosmetics in her suitcase on a small table by the bed. ...... Qiao Sisi was shocked. It seemed that she did not bring more than half of what Lin Ya had brought. Ten minutester, both of them were almost done. ¡°Sisi, shall we go shopping? Work won¡¯t start until tomorrow. It¡¯s free and easy time tonight.¡± Lin Ya really wanted to do some city sightseeing. Since they had some time to rx, she could fulfill her wish. Qiao Sisi looked up and saw that it was half past six. She agreed. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go shopping.¡± Lin Ya could not wait to pull Qiao Sisi out. The moment they stepped out, they bumped into Wei Ya and her roommate, who happened to be heading out. Qiao Sisi was in no mood to greet them. Wei Ya snorted and left quickly. ¡°Pfft¡­ What are you so smug about?¡± Lin Ya pouted, looking a little displeased. She still remembered the grudge about the Coke bottle this morning, so she naturally did not have a good impression of Wei Ya. Qiao Sisi smiled in exasperation and did not continue discussing Wei Ya. The two of them left the hotel together. The biggest difference between Yunqi and H City at night was probably the stalls outside. The mostmon sight in H City were the snack stalls. In Yunqi, what they saw were mostly stalls selling gemstones. Most of the gems at such stalls were fake. Typically, the genuine ones were in the shops and rarely seen outside. However, they could not rule out the possibility that there were real gemstones mixed with fake ones. Lin Ya came to a small stall and waved at Qiao Sisi. ¡°Sisi,e here and take a look.¡± Qiao Sisi walked over and nced at the small stall. A white cloth was spread on the table. It was filled with all kinds of sharp and clearcut gemstones. They looked beautiful, but that did not erase the fact that they were fake. Lin Ya picked out a ck obsidian-like rock and asked, ¡°Boss, how much is this rock? It looks pretty.¡± The stall owner looked at the two innocent-looking girls in front of him. His eyes darted around as he grinned. ¡°This stone is selling for 1,000 yuan.¡± 1,000 yuan?! Lin Ya¡¯s eyes widened and she quickly put the stone back.?Are you kidding me? 1,000 yuan is equivalent to one-sixth of my sry,?she thought. It was not worth it to buy a rock. Qiao Sisi was also a little stunned. ¡°Boss, did you say it correctly? Just this stone¡ª1000 yuan?¡± He was asking for too much. The stall owner red at them, looking unhappy. He cleared his throat solemnly and said, ¡°You don¡¯t know this. This stone is real. I bought it from my friend. It cost me 500 to 600 yuan. Ladies, if you really want it, I won¡¯t be greedy for that bit of profit. I¡¯ll sell it to you for 500 yuan.¡± Even though the stall owner was exaggerating, Qiao Sisi was not moved. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t afford it.¡¯ Lin Ya backed away a little. She looked at the stone again. She did not want it that badly. ¡°Let¡¯s forget it, Boss. We¡¯re not buying it.¡± ¡°Hey,dies, don¡¯t leave. I¡¯ll sell it to you at a loss. How about 400 yuan¡­ 300 yuan is fine too.¡± ¡°300 yuan is fine too?¡± Going from 1,000 to 300 could be said to be a very impressive cut. Lin Ya was not stupid; she just kind of liked the stone. Qiao Sisi did not stop her and only reminded her softly from the side. As for the decision to buy or not, it would depend on the person involved. At this moment, a man in sportswear walked towards them. He was tall and handsome, attracting the attention of many women. He seemed to have heard the conversation at the stall and walked straight over. Handsome man? After seeing extremely handsome men like Zheng Zeyi, Qiao Sisi was already immune to them. After being slightly surprised, she came back to her senses. Lin Ya, on the other hand, stared at him for a long time. Only when he was right in front of her, she blushed and lowered her head. ¡°Store owner, how much would a piece of crappy rock cost?¡± The man¡¯s deep voice was very pleasant to the ears. After hearing what the man said, the stall owner was stunned for a moment before he quickly reacted. ¡°What crappy rock? This isn¡¯t a crappy rock. What nonsense are you talking about?¡± The man smiled brightly. ¡°Vendor, you must have just set up your stall not long ago. You don¡¯t know the rules of this street, right? It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re not caught selling counterfeit goods at high prices. If you¡¯re caught, you¡¯ll have to paypensation.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner¡¯s eyes shed but he did not say anything for a long time. As expected, he must have offered a high price on purpose. Inexplicably shocked, the stall owner looked at the man vaguely. He felt that this man seemed a little familiar. He quickly forced an ugly smile and said to Lin Ya, ¡°Sorry, youngdy. I didn¡¯t mean to say it just now. This stone¡­ How about I sell it to you for 20 yuan?¡± From 1,000 yuan to 300 yuan, now it was 20 yuan. Lin Ya did not hesitate anymore and shook her head. ¡°Forget it, Boss. I think I won¡¯t buy it.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Seeing that the man was there, the stall owner did not force her. He pushed his stall away from the few people as if they were some kind of gue. Only Qiao Sisi, Lin Ya, and the man who had helped them were left. Qiao Sisi tugged at Lin Ya¡¯s sleeve suggestively and she immediately reacted. She said to the man awkwardly, ¡°Thank you.¡± The man shook his head and looked at the two of them curiously. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It was nothing. Hello, my name is Ye Chen.¡± Chapter 21

Chapter 21: I Quite Like This ce, Yunqi

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Ye Chen told them his name and Lin Ya introduced themselves. ¡°My name is Lin Ya. She is Qiao Sisi.¡± Qiao Sisi nodded slightly but was secretly sizing up this man. It was not that she did not notice the gaze of the stall owner earlier. Moreover, Ye Chen¡¯s aura was not that of an ordinary person. This trip¡­ was really interesting. Ye Chen smiled. With the light behind his back, he looked radiant as he said, ¡°Are you guys touring Yunqi?¡± Qiao Sisi tactfully let Lin Ya have the chance to speak. Lin Ya blushed a little under Ye Chen¡¯s gaze. She put her hands in her pockets nervously. ¡°No, we¡¯re here to work. We¡¯re just looking around now.¡± If she did not appear calm, Qiao Sisi would have thought that she had taken a fancy to Ye Chen. ¡°Why don¡¯t¡­ I¡¯ll show you around this Jade Street in Yunqi?¡± Ye Chen was very familiar with the ce and did not feel awkward at all. Lin Ya did not agree immediately. She looked at Qiao Sisi. ¡°I couldn¡¯t ask for more.¡± Qiao Sisi nodded and agreed. Since Lin Ya wanted to shop, then they should shop together. They had nothing to do now. In the evening, they were greeted by neon lights at the entrance of many shops, as well as the shouts of hawkers and the chatter of customers. The atmosphere was very lively. ...... Jade Street was very long. The street was basically filled with small stalls selling jade. In the middle, there were many shops. The jade in the stalls were most likely fake. One wondered if the shops also practice fraud. However, the possibility was not high. Qiao Sisi and the rest were assigned by thepany to acquire some jade and gemstones from Yunqi for the production of jewelry. Qiao Sisi looked at these shops, feeling overwhelmed. A faint sense of joy rose from the bottom of her heart. ¡°You guys just came to Yunqi. It¡¯s unlikely you know of this Jade Street.¡± Ye Chen was like a diligent tour guide. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Ye Chen said with a smile, ¡°There are counterfeit goods in these stalls. However, the shops in the middle are usually certified. The possibility of fake stones is very low. Of course, there¡¯s a possibility of error.¡± This was unavoidable and understandable. Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya understood what was going on. As the three of them walked on the streets, they attracted the gaze of many people who turned to give them second looks. The three of them chose a store and decided to take a look around. ¡°Wee.¡± The salesperson in the store smiled sweetly. Qiao Sisi parted ways with Ye Chen and Li Ya to browse around on her own in the store. The jades here were priced explicitly, and they looked really good. However, Qiao Sisi did not intend to buy anything. ¡°What is this?¡± Qiao Sisi nced at the well protected jade at the counter and asked the staff curiously. Through theyer of ss, Qiao Sisi could clearly see the quality of the jade. It was of excellent texture, translucent, with a hint of green. The salesperson happened to be standing by the side. She answered, ¡°Customer, this is an ice-type jade. It is one of the most precious jades in our store.¡± Qiao Sisi understood immediately. ¡°Thank you.¡± In addition to this ice-type jade, there were many other precious jade stones in this store. Even with Qiao Sisi¡¯s superficial knowledge, she could tell that these jade stones were expensive. It was a good trip! Qiao Sisi lingered over the jades, the design concept of the Deep Sea series in her heart was bing more and moreplete. ¡°Sisi!¡± Hearing Lin Ya¡¯s voice, Qiao Sisi turned around and saw Lin Ya and Ye Chen standing near the counter. She walked over and saw that the two of them were not carrying anything. They were probably just casually shopping. ¡°What is it?¡± Lin Ya shook her head and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s going to rain soon. We¡¯re getting ready to go back. You look like you can¡¯t bear to leave.¡± A smile appeared on Qiao Sisi¡¯s face as she cleared his throat. ¡°Ahem, I was just looking around.¡± The sky, which had been pretty good outside, had now turned dark clouds that could be clearly felt in the store. A cold wind blew in from outside the store. Qiao Sisi tugged at the frontpel of her jacket. It looked like it was going to rain. ¡°We¡¯ll get going then,¡± Lin Ya turned around and said to Ye Chen with a smile. Ye Chen nodded and suddenly thought of something. He said, ¡°When you are free next time, I can take you to the end of the street to take a look. You guys have probably never seen anything there.¡± As it was about to rain outside, he could not continue to show them around. He could only wait for the next opportunity. After saying goodbye, the two of them started to walk back to the hotel. Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya had just stepped out of the store. ¡°Rumble!¡± There was a p of thunder in the sky and Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya quickly ran all the way back to the hotel. They were lucky. At night, Lin Ya was taking a shower in the bathroom in her room as Qiao Sisi sat at the desk beside her bed. She had finished washing up. There were a few design drafts on the table, all drawn by her. Bracelet¡­?Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes curved as she smiled. She picked up a pencil and drew a rough outline on the design draft. This time, she was not very engrossed. After Lin Ya was done, she had just finished drawing and put away the design draft. ¡°Go to bed early,¡± Lin Ya said and turned off the bedsidemp. Qiao Sisi also turned off the light by her bed andy in bed to sleep. The night was very quiet. ¡­ The next morning, at 8 am, the people from Jinyu Company, including Qiao Sisi, were already gathered in the lobby downstairs. The junior assistant carried a ck leather bag and said to everyone, ¡°We¡¯re going to Wind City Company today. Other than some discussions, you can also socialize with the designers of Wind City Company. We might meet again soon.¡± The junior assistant¡¯s words seemed to be implying something. Qiao Sisi contemted in her heart about the designerpetition she had heard about. It might be about this matter. Even when they got into the car, Qiao Sisi was still thinking about the designerpetition. She had drafted her general idea. What she needed to do next was to fill in the details. She thought that she could make the theme work. The colors of the Deep Sea series were as profound as the deep sea. The pale and dark colorsplement each other¡¯s radiance and beauty. They were perfect for an entire set of jewelry. Qiao Sisi leaned against the window, her head trembling slightly from the vibration of the car. There was a faint smile on her face. ¡°What are you thinking about, Sisi?¡± Lin Ya could not help asking after looking at her for a long time. Qiao Sisi came back to her senses and nced at her. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I quite like this ce, Yunqi.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Lin Ya seemed to be in deep thought. She blinked and asked with a smile,¡± Sisi, do you remember Ye Chen from yesterday? ¡± Chapter 22

Chapter 22: I Don¡¯t Believe He¡¯s an Employee

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

¡°Do you like him?¡± Qiao Sisi said jokingly. Lin Ya red at her, pursing her lips. ¡°How is that possible? I know my limits. He looks like a rich kid. Me? Forget it.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s image pretty much reveals his identity. He¡¯s a rich man¡¯s son. It¡¯s fine getting acquainted with him, but let¡¯s forget about getting to know each other better. We are of different statuses, so there¡¯s no need to force ourselves to get into a rtionship. ¡°Oh, I must be mistaken.¡± Qiao Sisi smiled. After they chatted and teased each other for a while, she turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window. A few minutester, their car arrived at Wind City Company. The junior assistant took the lead and the group entered thepany. Other than the junior assistant who came with a mission, the others were all sent to the waiting room. There were snacks and tea on the table inside. One of the colleagues sat on the sofa and asked curiously, ¡°Didn¡¯t Assistant Li ask us toe here to learn and interact with each other? There¡¯s no one here.¡± Hearing this, Lin Ya said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± The people from Jinyu Company were all sitting in the waiting room. Qiao Sisi sat for a while before taking out her phone. There were many missed calls as her phone was put on silent mode. The calls were all from the same person¡ªChen Anna. When she flipped to the bottom, a look of surprise appeared in Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes. ...... This is¡­ Zheng Zeyi??Qiao Sisi looked in disbelief. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone number was actually on her missed call list. Isn¡¯t this strange? After some hesitation, Qiao Sisi said something to Lin Ya before walking out of the waiting room. The corridor outside was empty and quiet. Qiao Sisi found a corner and dialed Chen Anna¡¯s number. ¡°Hello? Sisi! You¡¯ve finally called me. You have no idea how many times I¡¯ve called you.¡± As soon as the call was picked up, Chen Anna¡¯s anxious voice came from the other end. Qiao Sisi said apologetically, ¡°I muted my phone and forgot to turn it off.¡± ¡°How are you doing in Yunqi? Is your work going well?¡± Chen Anna asked. ¡°Work is alright. The scenery here in Yunqi is especially good¡­¡± Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna began to talk about work-rted matters for a long time. As they were talking very loudly, Qiao Sisi did not notice that someone was standing behind her. After chatting for a while, she realized that something was wrong. Qiao Sisi turned around and saw a tall figure and a familiar handsome face. ¡°Ye Chen?¡± Qiao Sisi called out in surprise. She was really surprised. This was Wind City Company. She did not expect Ye Chen to be here. Moreover, after meeting him yesterday, Qiao Sisi felt that they would probably not meet again because this business trip would onlyst a few days. As it turned out, they met again the next day after saying goodbye. Chen Anna was a little stunned. She did not know what happened to Qiao Sisi and asked, ¡°Sisi, what¡¯s going on over there? Who¡¯s Ye Chen?¡± Even without the hands-free speaker mode, she was so loud that one could vaguely hear the content of the conversation . ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter!¡± Qiao Sisi smiled awkwardly and hung up mercilessly. Chen Anna, who was far away in H City, stared at the phone that had been hung up and looked up exasperatedly.?This is the result of befriending a bad friend,?she thought. ¡­ Ye Chen had a polite smile on his face. His expression changed when he saw Qiao Sisi hanging up the phone. He said, ¡°Sisi, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here. If you¡¯re in this reception room¡­ are you a guest from Jinyu Company?¡± As she was feeling awkward, Qiao Sisi did not notice that he addressed her informally. She said, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re from Jinyu Company. Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡­ am an employee of Wind City.¡± Ye Chen pursed his lips. He had his hands in his pants, and his expression was a bit strange. Qiao Sisi felt that Ye Chen¡¯s demeanor today waspletely different from yesterday. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go in first.¡± Qiao Sisi doubted that Ye Chen was an employee. However, there was no need to mention that. She decided to return to the waiting room. As for that certain missed call, she had forgotten about it. ¡°I happen to be here to receive you guys. Can you inform your colleagues?¡± Ye Chen said as he raised his nice-looking eyebrows slightly. ¡°Of course I can. Wait for a while. I¡¯ll go in and tell them now.¡± After saying that, Qiao Sisi opened the door to the waiting room and informed her colleagues that Ye Chen was waiting outside. Lin Ya was a little confused when he saw Qiao Sisi winking at someone. She walked out of the waiting room and saw Ye Chen. She then understood why Qiao Sisi did what she did just now. What a damn coincidence,?she thought. Qiao Sisi stood at the door. When Wei Ya walked past her, she bumped against her shoulder, seemingly unintentionally. ¡°You¡­¡± Qiao Sisi frowned, only to see Wei Ya leave in her high heels, with no intention of apologizing. Qiao Sisi narrowed her eyes slightly and rubbed her shoulder, taking this matter to heart. She was not a forgiving person. When the opportunity arose, she would settle the scores sooner orter! Her colleagues left the waiting room. Ye Chen began to give an official introduction of Wind City Company. Besides showing them some carved jewelry, Ye Chen also brought Qiao Sisi and the rest to meet the jewelry designers in thepany. The exchange was a good learning experience. Other than Wei Ya who was a little arrogant and unwilling tomunicate, the others had gained some knowledge. It was lunchtime. ¡°Sisi, why do you think Ye Chen is here? I was so shocked to see him just now that I didn¡¯t know what to say,¡± Lin Ya said as she picked up the food in her bowl. Qiao Sisi shrugged, indicating that she did not know either. ¡°I am not sure, but he told me he¡¯s an employee here.¡± ¡°Employee?¡± Lin Ya had a look of disbelief on her face. She was a good judge of people. With that aura, he did not look like an employee at all. He was like a CEO. ¡°Since he doesn¡¯t want to tell us, let¡¯s not ask him.¡± Qiao Sisi was eating happily, her mouth almost full. They would be reimbursed by thepany, so there was no need to economize! A momentter, there was a noise in the canteen. Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya, who were immersed in the world of food, looked up. It was Ye Chen. Ye Chen was wearing a suit and looking calm, with a slight smile. He did not look as radiant as yesterday but he looked rather dignified. Many of the female employees in Wind City Company fixed their eyes on him. ¡°Look at themotion. I didn¡¯t believe it when you said he¡¯s an employee,¡± said Lin Ya. Her appetite was gone. Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows but did not say anything. She just lowered her head and looked at the food in her bowl, hoping that Ye Chen would note approach them. Chapter 23

Then¡­ a few secondster. ¡°Can I sit here?¡± Ye Chen suddenly smiled innocuously while holding his te. Qiao Sisi held her chopsticks tightly and groaned in her heart. The more she didn¡¯t want something, the more it came to her. She really did not want to sit with this kind of person who seemed to have a halo over his head. She could see that the other women in the cafeteria were looking at her and Lin Ya with hostility. Lin Ya gave Qiao Sisi a look. He was already here and it was not appropriate to reject him. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Have a seat.¡± Lin Ya gave him a sweet smile and moved to the side, leaving a seat for him. Ye Chen smiled and ced the tray on the table before sitting down. The gazes in the canteen, oh no, the gazes of the women were all gathered at Qiao Sisi¡¯s table. They seemed puzzled and jealous. It seemed like Ye Chen was no mere employee. Qiao Sisi secretly nced at Ye Chen and quickly looked away. She looked at the dishes in her bowl and continued to keep a low profile. ¡°I heard that you guys are on a business trip for only five days?¡± After Ye Chen took a bite of his food elegantly, he suddenly thought of something and asked this question abruptly. Qiao Sisi did not answer and continued eating. Lin Ya quickly answered, ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ll be returning to the office in five days.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Ye Chen did not say anything else. ...... All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little awkward. When the three of them met today, they did not talk as much as they did when they first met yesterday. Lin Ya¡¯s head was a little heavy yesterday, but it settled after a day. When they were almost done eating, Lin Ya asked, ¡°Ye Chen, are you a designer with Wind City Company?¡± She had not forgotten what Qiao Sisi mentioned just now. Now she was a little curious and blurted out her question. Although Qiao Sisi was not looking at them, she pricked up her ears. Ye Chen was smiling. He closed his attractive eyes slightly as he held his chopsticks with his long fingers and said, ¡°¡­ Not really.¡± His every move revealed an extraordinary aura. Qiao Sisi finally understood why Ye Chen had so many female fans in Wind City Company. He was almost as handsome as Zheng Zeyi. Lin Ya understood and did not ask further. Soon the lunch break ended and the junior assistant was almost done with her discussion.Just when she was about to gather all the staff to leave Wind City, she saw Ye Chen. ¡°CEO Ye?!¡± The junior assistant looked a little stunned. Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya were equally stunned because Ye Chen was standing next to them. They heard her calling him CEO Ye. Qiao Sisi could not help but rub her forehead. As expected¡­ She knew that this person was no ordinary person. But she did not expect him to be part of the top management of Wind City! Ye Chen did not look like he had been exposed. He simply nodded slightly and greeted her. The junior assistant did not say anything, but her attitude was respectful. Then she said to Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya, ¡°It¡¯s time to go. We¡¯re going to Jade Street now. Everyone needs to hand in a work report tonight.¡± All of Jinyu¡¯s colleagues were called back. As the person in charge of Wind City Company this time, Ye Chen was in the same group. The part of Jade Street that they were going to this time was different from the previous one. It was a little further away and there were probably more varieties of jade. The phone in Qiao Sisi¡¯s pocket vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi: [Where are you?] Qiao Sisi blinked. She wanted to pretend that she did not see it, but if she did not reply, she would feel bad. Forget it, forget it. I¡¯ll reply, I¡¯ll reply. Feeling a little exasperated, Qiao Sisi quickly typed a few words on the keypad of her phone and sent them out. The content was: [Yunqi Jade Street.] This fellow is far away in H City, so what if I tell him where I am??she thought. At the thought of this, Qiao Sisi felt relieved and put her phone back in her pocket. Their car had almost arrived at Jade Street. The colleagues from Jinyu Company were gathered together. They looked more like they were on a tour rather than on a business trip. The corners of Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips curled up slightly.?It¡¯s just like traveling,?she thought. Other than her joining thepany through the back door, everyone was a neer with potential and Xiang Jinyu wanted them to broaden their horizons. Ye Chen and the junior assistant walked in front and led the way into a jade museum. The interior was very spacious. After they entered, they followed Ye Chen to the front desk. The junior assistant held a document in her hand and handed it to the staff at the front desk. They must have contacted each other beforehand about buying jade stones. Qiao Sisi stood at the back of the group and looked around the ce. There were many jade stones in ss disy cases outside. There was also some information about craftsmanship that attracted Qiao Sisi¡¯s attention. This was what she wanted to learn. ¡°You can browse around.¡± The junior assistant needed some time over at her side. Ye Chen did not leave the front desk. He was talking to the staff there. After hearing what the junior assistant said, the team immediately dispersed. Qiao Sisi could not wait to get close to the information in the disy cases. She looked intently at them. This was information about cutting and polishing. It was very basic but also very important. ¡°Qiao Sisi, you¡¯re blocking others.¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi quickly turned around and saw Wei Ya standing behind her. Wei Ya red at Qiao Sisi and insisted on squeezing beside her to look at the disy. Qiao Sisi did not say anything. This was a public venue, and she had no intention of monopolizing this spot and not letting others view the disy. However, Wei Ya¡¯s attitude was indeed detestable. ¡°Qiao Sisi, do you understand?¡± Wei Ya suddenly revealed a mocking smile. She did not look at the information but turned to look at Qiao Sisi. ¡°Can you stop arguing?¡± Qiao Sisi frowned. It was really annoying to be interrupted all the time. Hearing this, Wei Ya instantly got angry. She said scornfully, ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know that you got in through the back door? What are you pretending for? If you don¡¯t understand, just admit it. What are you pretending for?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Qiao Sisi retorted rudely. The atmosphere became tense, as it seemed like they were going to quarrel the next second. Lin Ya, who was standing not far away, rushed over. ¡°Sisi,e over here. Come quickly.¡± Qiao Sisi nced at the furious Wei Ya and followed Lin Ya to the side.?Time is too precious to waste on such a person,?she thought. Wei Ya snorted and started reading. ¡°Sisi, are you alright?¡± Lin Ya stole a nce at Wei Ya and pulled Qiao Sisi towards her. Qiao Sisi shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± What could happen to me??she thought. It was just that she was annoyed at getting interrupted when she was looking at information. This jade museum was very attentive to detail. Qiao Sisi naturally did not want to miss out on such valuable information. Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Arrival

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

There was a lot of information about the production of local special crafts at these counters. The polishing and cutting techniques were exined and easy to understand. After Qiao Sisi spoke to Lin Ya for a while, they browsed around on their own. It was very quiet in the jade museum. Everyone was very considerate and did not cause any disturbance. Looking at these special techniques, Qiao Sisi thought about her drafts of the Deep Sea series. What must I do to achieve perfection??she wondered. ¡­ Ten minutester. Qiao Sisi was looking at some information when two people walked by together. Their conversation caught her attention. ¡°I heard that the small jewelry auction is about to begin. It¡¯s at the end of the street. Come, let¡¯s go take a look,¡± one of them said. ¡°A small auction? I¡¯ll join in the fun.¡± Another person was a little surprised and quickly followed them. Qiao Sisi watched them leave and lowered her head again. Jewelry Auction¡­ To be honest, she had never attended one before, but she definitely could not attend such a thing right now. If she had the chance in the future, she would go and broaden her horizons. ...... The junior assistant was still inmunication and had made some moves. Qiao Sisi took out her phone to take a look. There was no new message on the information page. She was about to put her phone back when it vibrated. Oh my God. Qiao Sisi¡¯s pupils were constricted.?Why is Zheng Zeyi calling me? She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She quickly picked up the phone. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Baby.¡± His attractive voice sounded from the other end of the phone, like an electric current running through her heart. Sh*t. Qiao Sisi¡¯s expression did not change as a storm brewed in her heart, giving her goosebumps. She wondered why she had this strange feeling.?What the hell! ¡°Be normal, Zheng Zeyi. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qiao Sisi suppressed the urge to swear.?Who knows what Zheng Zeyi is thinking? We are pretending to be engaged. How could he take it seriously??she thought. On the other end, Zheng Zeyiughed softly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just missed you.¡± ¡°¡­ I¡¯m hanging up.¡± When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile deepened. Hisughter filled Qiao Sisi¡¯s ears and made her heart race. He paused. ¡°Look up. I¡¯m at the door.¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi suddenly looked up. Sure enough, she saw a familiar figure at the door, holding a phone in his hand. It was Zheng Zeyi! Dressed in a tailored ck suit, his features were exquisite. His thin lips curled into a faint smile as he looked at her. Qiao Sisi was thunderstruck and stood rooted to the spot for a long time. She never thought that she would meet Zheng Zeyi in Yunqi!?Didn¡¯t this guy have something to do??she wondered. There was no answer to her question. Qiao Sisi widened her mouth and looked at the god-like Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and walked quickly to Qiao Sisi¡¯s side. His overpowering aura brought her out of her thoughts. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, why are you here?¡± This was the only question Qiao Sisi had. The two of them were still on the phone. When she heard the reply, she quickly hung up and put the phone back in her pocket. Zheng Zeyi asked, ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Qiao Sisi choked. She did not say no. ¡°No, what I mean is, why are you in Yunqi? Weren¡¯t you away?¡± ¡°Being away didn¡¯t mean I had to be in H City.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze was nonchnt. What he said made sense. He would go wherever business took him. He did not mention that he was in H City, so Yunqi should not be too surprised. Qiao Sisi understood and did not ask anymore. She was just shocked. ¡°Come with me to a ce,¡± Zheng Zeyi said suddenly. Before anyone could say anything, Zheng Zeyi held Qiao Sisi¡¯s hand and was about to leave the jade museum. Qiao Sisi quickly stopped. ¡°Wait! I¡¯m still working. I can¡¯t walk away.¡± This is a business trip, not a vacation.?Qiao Sisi felt extremely frustrated. Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and pulled Qiao Sisi to the front desk. Since it was a business trip, they could just get permission. At the front desk, Ye Chen and the junior assistant bumped into Zheng Zeyi as they were wrapping up their work. ¡°CEO Zheng? Hello.¡± The junior assistant was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and greeted him. She was not surprised to see Qiao Sisi standing beside Zheng Zeyi. It seemed like she knew that Qiao Sisi was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. ¡°Okay,¡± Zheng Zeyi said calmly. He looked at Ye Chen. The two of them had a simr aura. As they looked at each other, sparks seemed to fly. Even Qiao Sisi, who was beside them, could sense that the atmosphere was not right. What are these two doing??she wondered. ¡°This¡­¡± Qiao Sisi was speechless, and the junior assistant beside her did not dare to interrupt. The two men stared at each other for a long time before stopping. The first to greet him was Ye Chen. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ye Chen, How are you, CEO Zheng?¡± Faced with such polite behavior, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up. He only said these words, ¡°Zheng Zeyi.¡± Qiao Sisi watched from the side and felt that it was funny, so she lowered her head to hide her expression. ¡°I want to take Sisi out.¡± Zheng Zeyi turned to look at the junior assistant. Being stared at by Zheng Zeyi all of a sudden, the junior assistant, who was usually very calm, started to panic. Sheposed herself and said, ¡°Okay, CEO Zheng, you can do it.¡± No one dared to stop him. ¡°Is that alright?¡± Hearing the junior assistant¡¯s words, Zheng Zeyi tightened his grip and realized that Qiao Sisi had her head lowered. ¡°Okay.¡± Qiao Sisi nodded and did not reject. She did not miss what he said just now. Since he insisted on taking her out, she would go with him and see what this guy was up to. Zheng Zeyi started pulling Qiao Sisi out of the jade museum. When they passed by Lin Ya, she saw the surprise on her face and muttered, ¡°Wait for me toe back.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Ya gave an ¡®okay¡¯ sign. Qiao Sisi did not notice that Ye Chen was looking at her and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s backs with a strange expression. The street outside was bustling with noise. It was morous but not annoying. Once they were out the door, Qiao Sisi let go of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand. It was one thing to put on a show in front of her colleagues. Now that they had left the jade museum, there was no need to pretend to be engaged. ¡°Tell me, where are you taking me?¡± Qiao Sisi rubbed her wrist and looked around at the people on the street. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything when Qiao Sisi flung his hand away. He walked in big steps. ¡°Follow me. You¡¯ll knowter.¡± The tall figure walked in front. Qiao Sisi muttered and followed. Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Let Me Have It, Everyone

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

I want to see where Zheng Zeyi is taking me, Qiao Sisi thought. Following Zheng Zeyi, she turned four or five left and right corners. The two of them finally arrived at their destination. What greeted their eyes was a signboard with the words ¡®Jinhang Auction House¡¯ in front of a gorgeous building. This was¡­ an auction house. Qiao Sisi reacted and thought of the small jewelry auction that the two people had mentioned previously. ¡°You¡¯re taking me to the jewelry auction?¡± Qiao Sisi was almost certain she guessed right. Zheng Zeyi smiled and looked at her devilishly. ¡°Oh, so you know.¡± Under his gaze, Qiao Sisi shivered as if she had been electrocuted. Demon. Qiao Sisi could only think of this in her heart. As Yang Yueyue¡¯s cousin, Zheng Zeyi was also vicious. She had struck a deal with a demon. Qiao Sisi secretly nced at Zheng Zeyi. She had to admit that this person was indeed good-looking. The two of them entered the auction house. As soon as they entered, an auction staff came to receive them and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, guests.¡± Zheng Zeyi took out a golden card from his suit pocket. On it was written ¡®Jinhang Auction¡¯s VIP¡¯. When the staff saw the card, his expression changed and instantly became even more respectful. ...... ¡°Guests, this way please¡­¡± The staff led Zheng Zeyi and Qiao Sisi to a passageway. After passing through the passage, they arrived at an extremely luxurious private room. The number on the door was Room 01, the No. 1 private room of the auction house. It was obvious that Zheng Zeyi was well respected in this auction house. There were refreshments and fruits on a table inside, as well as a small speaker ced beside the sofa. This is to facilitate bidding,?Qiao Sisi thought. ¡°Guests, this is your private room,¡± the staff said. After the two of them entered the private room and sat on the leather sofa, he closed the door and left. Only Qiao Sisi and Zheng Zeyi were left in the huge private room. The atmosphere became awkward. ¡°Why did you suddenly take me to the auction house?¡± Qiao Sisi was puzzled. Zheng Zeyi picked up the exquisite porcin cup with his slender fingers and sipped the warm tea. He said, ¡°To broaden your horizons.¡± Hearing these perfunctory words, the corners of Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips twitched. She did not want to raise any more questions. This guy would not speak the truth. The auction had yet to begin. Through the ss window of the private room, one could see that the seats below were already packed. However, most of the guests were quiet. Qiao Sisi pushed her thoughts away and took an apple from the table. She took a bite. She would know soon what Zheng Zeyi was scheming in his heart. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± she thought. Soon after, the auction officially began. Through the clear ss window, Qiao Sisi could see the focal point of the lighting on the auction stage. A woman in a white cheongsam walked up. This was the awe-inspiring auctioneer of the auction house, Lianxin. When the auctioneer went on stage, many people below widened their eyes. A few men were staring at Lianxin¡¯s voluptuous chest and slender legs. When Qiao Sisi saw this, she could not help but admire the beauty. ¡°Feeling inferior?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked, instantly ruining Qiao Sisi¡¯s mood. Qiao Sisi rolled her eyes with her back facing Zheng Zeyi. Without looking back, she said, ¡°I¡¯m very confident.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze gradually deepened as itnded on Qiao Sisi¡¯s back. She was wearing a simple white shirt, but it looked beautiful on her. Qiao Sisi, who was focused on the auction stage, had no idea what Zheng Zeyi was doing behind her. She was curious about the auction items. After Lianxin got on the stage, she held a microphone and her gentle, mellow voice echoed within the auction house. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m the auctioneer in charge of this auction, Lianxin.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, there was a lot ofmotion. It was not that Lianxin did not notice the tant gazes of those men, but she could not be bothered with them. Lianxin pped her hands. A staff member walked up the stage with a ck-gold suitcase and ced it on the stage. ¡°I¡¯m very happy to host this auction for everyone. Now that the auction has officially begun, this is our first auction item,¡± Lianxin said as she raised the microphone and pointed at the ck-golden box. This action directed everyone¡¯s attention to the box. What is inside??they wondered. Qiao Sisi was also puzzled. She knew that it was jewelry, but if it was just ordinary jewelry, the auction house would not go through the trouble of auctioning it. There must be something outstanding about it. ¡°Kacha.¡± Lianxin unlocked the ck box and opened it, exposing the contents to the public. It was a glossy, green bracelet. Even from a distance, Qiao Sisi could sense that this bracelet was not ordinary. There was a big screen in the private room. After all, the private room was too far from the auction stage, so many items could not be seen clearly. Qiao Sisi diverted her gaze to the big screen. She could see the jade bracelet. Ity quietly in the center of the box. The bracelet was emerald green and even a little transparent. It was extremely eye-catching. ¡°This is an old crater ss jade bracelet.¡± Seeing that Qiao Sisi¡¯s face was almost touching the screen, Zheng Zeyi exined kindly. ¡°Old crater ss?¡± Qiao Sisi eximed. Although it was shallow, she had some knowledge of the jade stone varieties. The old crater ss could be said to be the best in quality. Simrly, the price was so high that it made people envious. With just this bracelet, Qiao Sisi felt that even if she worked her whole life, she might not be able to afford it. She did not expect the auction house to start with such a precious item. But that was right. The more precious items there were, the more the atmosphere would liven up. As long as the atmosphere became boisterous, the subsequent bids would be much smoother. Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes flickered. Sheposed herself and looked at Lianxin on the auction stage again. After Lianxin opened the box, her eyes were calm as she raised the microphone and said, ¡°Everyone, you should be able to guess that this bracelet is not ordinary. That¡¯s right. This is an old crater ss jade bracelet of excellent quality¡­¡± Lianxin went on to describe and rmend the bracelet. At the end of her speech, she added, ¡°This jade bracelet starts at 800 thousand yuan!¡± The auction house fell silent for a while. After a while, the lively biddings started! Many of the customers could not help raising their tokens to bid for it. It was rare to see such a good quality ss jade bracelet. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 900 thousand yuan!¡± ¡°920 thousand yuan! Let me have it, everyone.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay a million yuan!¡± ¡­ Chapter 26

Chapter 26: It Will Be Miserable

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

A steady stream of bids rang out. It had to be said that everyone present was rich, including Zheng Zeyi, who was beside Qiao Sisi. Qiao Sisi retracted her neck. These people were indeed bidding high prices. ¡°Do you like it?¡± Zheng Zeyi said suddenly. Qiao Sisi turned around and met his handsome face, which was magnified countless times because of the proximity. Wasn¡¯t he sitting there just now? she thought. Qiao Sisi smiled awkwardly and quietly shifted her seat as she replied, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then forget it.¡± When she heard this, Qiao Sisi could not help but curse inwardly.?Why? If I like it, would you buy me one??she thought. I must be indulging in fantasy¡­ The bidding continued without any intention of stopping. ¡°1.3 million yuan!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay 1.5 million yuan!¡± ¡­ At this moment, a man sitting silently raised the card in his hand and said, ¡°2 million yuan.¡± ...... Instantly, the bidding stopped. 2 million yuan was no longer a small sum. Although this ss-type jade bracelet was worth more than that, those who could continue to bid might still wait and see. Rich,?Qiao Sisi thought. She sat in the private room and watched with interest as these people shouted their bids. Just by looking at them, one could get an eyeful. She wanted to see how rich people these days were killing time. With a faint smile, Lianxin knocked the gavel and said, ¡°This gentleman has bid 2 million yuan. Is there anyone else who wants to continue?¡± There was a moment of silence before someone continued to bid. ¡°I bid 2.3 million yuan.¡± A woman raised the card in her hand. ¡°This madam has bid 2.3 million yuan!¡± Lianxin raised the microphone and her voice echoed through the entire auction hall. The price continued to rise. Compared to the previous increase, it was even more aggressive now because those who were still bidding sincerely liked this bracelet. It was hard to stop after a certain point. The price kept increasing until it reached a high price: 5 million yuan! The bidder was a man. He had raised the bid once before, but it was quickly superseded by others. However, 5 million yuan was almost the limit for the bracelet, so the others stopped bidding. ¡°5 million yuan per session!¡± Lianxin¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and knocked the small gavel in her hand. ¡°5 million yuan twice!¡± ¡°5 million yuan thrice! Congrattions to this gentleman for obtaining the ss-type jade bracelet. Congrattions!¡± Lianxin waved her hand, and a few staff members closed the ck-gold box on the auction table and took it away. When the auction ended, the staff of the auction house would bring the items to the customers who bidded for them and settle payments. Seeing this, Qiao Sisi asked curiously, ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what do you think will happen if he can¡¯t pay and cause trouble?¡± She thought that the auction house should have a solution for such troublemaking behavior. When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were smiling. He looked at her and opened his mouth to say three words. ¡°It will be miserable.¡± His tone was clearly normal, but for some reason, Qiao Sisi felt a chill down her spine, like a cold wind blowing across her back. Qiao Sisi could not help but purse her lips. She more or less understood now. In any case, such a troublemaker would end up miserable. The auction continued. As a big item was auctioned from the start, the subsequent items did not seem as good as the first ss jade bracelet. Qiao Sisi leaned against the sofa and observed the auction for a while. After a long time, she did not see any good items and began to lose interest. She picked up a piece of cake and began digging in with a spoon. Facing this forcefuldy, Zheng Ze¡¯s pupils constricted. His gaze was deep. After a moment, he looked away and turned his attention to the auction stage below. By now, almost five items had been auctioned. Other than the first item that was too expensive, these were only considered above average. There was even a piece that no one bid for, as none of the guests liked it. Lianxin stood on the auction stage as the staff carried another red box up. Opening the lock, Lianxin said, ¡°Respected guests, this auction item is the same as the first one. They are all extraordinary items. Everyone, please take a look.¡± The box was opened. Inside was a bracelet that emitted dazzling rays of light under the refraction of the stage lighting. Instantly, all the women in the venue were attracted to it. That included Qiao Sisi. There were many small diamonds on the bracelet, but they did not look overly morous. There were even letters engraved on it, making it look extremely beautiful. Lianxin had seen this bracelet before, so she was naturally not surprised. ¡°This bracelet is Master Yalin¡¯s work. Master Yalin rarely designs new pieces now. Even her casual work can fetch a high price. And this bracelet was one of Master Yalin¡¯s creations at her peak. This auction house is lucky to have it.¡± Lianxin said unhurriedly. Not only did she introduce the amazing origin of the bracelet, but she also implicitly revealed some of the capabilities of the auction house. She was very familiar with the workmanship. In the private room, Qiao Sisi also heard her speech. She frowned and rubbed her chin thoughtfully. She remembered that thest time she went to the department store with Chen Anna, there was a jewelry store called the Lanxing Pavilion. It had Master Yalin¡¯s work, Tears of the Mermaid. It seemed that the store was exaggerating. Qiao Sisi retracted her thoughts and stared at the bracelet. Just like her, the other women in the auction house fell in love with it at a nce. ¡°This bracelet is called Light Smoke. The starting price is 900 thousand yuan!¡± Lianxin said. The starting bid, which was even higher than the ss jade bracelet, did not dampen the women¡¯s enthusiasm. In fact, it even brought out their enthusiasm. ¡°1 million yuan!¡± ¡°1.2 million yuan. Sisters, let me have it!¡± ¡°I want it too. 1.6 million yuan!¡± ¡­ The price increased rapidly. The corners of Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes twitched. These women¡¯sbat power was a little too crazy¡­ ¡°2 million yuan.¡± Just as Qiao Sisi was watching these womenpete, an indifferent voice sounded. This voice was too familiar. Qiao Sisi turned around almost instantly. As expected, Zheng Zeyi raised the card in his hand. It said 2 million yuan. Qiao Sisi was a little stunned. She did not understand why Zheng Zeyi wanted to bid, but she gave some thought to it. A rich man¡¯s son might have someone important.?Thinking along this line, Qiao Sisi was not surprised. However, what she did not notice was that the moment she turned around, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze followed her closely. To the people present, 2 million yuan was considered neither high nor low. Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Please Let Me Have It

Zheng Zeyi only casually offered a bid price. Soon, another woman made an offer and raised it by a lot. ¡°2.8 million yuan!¡± That woman who was wearing a grayish-red tight-fitting dress had a smile on her face. She suddenly stood up and looked toward Qiao Sisi¡¯s room. She said, ¡°Guest from Room 1, I really like this bracelet. I wonder if you can part with it and let me have it.¡± After she finished speaking, she winked at him. The others watched this scene unfold with interest as they looked at Room 1 on the second floor. Qiao Sisi blinked and smiled. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, thisdy is talking to you. She asked you to let her have it.¡± After a while, there was no response. The woman was clearly getting impatient. She asked again, ¡°Esteemed guest from Room 1, can you bear to part with your lot?¡± In the quiet environment, a maic man¡¯s voice came from box 1, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. In the private room. ¡°I want it very much too.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled lightly. His eyes were deep and serene. It was difficult to read his thoughts. Qiao Sisi was a little surprised, but she had no intention of joining in. She sat quietly by the side. ...... Hearing this, the charming woman¡¯s expression changed slightly, and her smile became a little embarrassed. ¡°Then¡­ Do you insist onpeting with me?¡± Her voice was gentle and seductive. Seeing no response from Zheng Zeyi for a long time, the woman red at Room 1 and made a bid. ¡°2.5 million yuan!¡± This price was not only higher than 2 million yuan, but it was also a mockery to Zheng Zeyi. Was this woman seeking death¡­ Qiao Sisi was shocked. At the same time, she felt less pressure around her. Although Zheng Ze was still smiling beside her, his demeanor had changed and he was showing a bit of interest. Just as Lianxin was about to hit the gavel, Zheng Zeyi said, ¡°7 million yuan.¡± His voice was very calm, but he had raised the bid by almost three times! It went from 2.5 million yuan to 7 million yuan. ¡°Well done.¡± Qiao Sisi praised his face-pping behavior The woman¡¯s face had darkened. She was obviously furious. ¡°Since the honored guest in Room 1 wants it so badly, then I¡­ will give it to him.¡± The corners of the woman¡¯s mouth twitched with difficulty. She red at Room 1 and sat back down, unwilling to ept defeat. However, no matter how unwilling she was, the matter was settled. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bid increased so much that no one else continued to bid. Lianxin hit the gavel three times. ¡°7 million yuan once! 7 million yuan twice, 7 million yuan thrice! Congrattions to the VIP in Room 1 for getting the bracelet, Light Smoke. The staff will send it overter.¡± Without saying anything else, the next lot was served. The seeding lots were not simple items. As Qiao Sisi watched, she asked Zheng Zeyi curiously, ¡°Zheng Zeyi¡ªthe bracelet that you bid at such a high price¡ªwho do you intend to give it to?¡± ¡°Do you want to know?¡± Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and waved her hand nonchntly. ¡°It¡¯s not that I have to know. I¡¯m just curious.¡± Well¡­ she was telling the truth. She didn¡¯t care at all. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s nonchnt gazended on Qiao Sisi. She was enjoying the snacks on the table. He could not help smiling. ¡°It¡¯s for someone. You don¡¯t have to know about it for the time being,¡± Zheng Zeyi said as he quickly snatched the piece of snack that Qiao Sisi was eyeing before she took it. ¡°Zhang Zeyi!¡± Qiao Sisi watched the snack fly away right before her face and was a little angry. However, since Zheng Ze had already stuffed them into his mouth, there was nothing she could do. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s delicious.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded seriously and picked up the other snacks. ¡°Well, you¡­ As long as it¡¯s delicious,¡± Qiao Sisi said hypocritically. Magnanimous, I have to be magnanimous, Qiao Sisi said to herself. For those snacks nearer to Zheng Zeyi, she would not take them. She would choose something further away. As the two of them fought, the auction was almosting to an end. Lianxin signaled the staff to bring up thest lot. A ck-gold box was ced on the auction stage. As she opened the box, everyone saw the jewelry that was inside. It was a set of sapphire jewelry. Studded with fragmented pieces of diamonds, it was breathtakingly beautiful. There were earrings, a ne, and a ring in the middle. As soon as the box was opened, Qiao Sisi set her eyes on the set of sapphire jewelry. Although she was not very knowledgeable, she could tell that this set of jewelry was definitely made by a master. ¡°This small jewelry auction is really full of surprises,¡± Qiao Sisi could not help but think. On the stage, when Lianxin heard the exmations, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She raised the microphone in her hand and said with a smile, ¡°The auction house has put in much effort to acquire this set of sapphire jewelry. It is the final item for this small-scale jewelry auction.¡± ¡°Anyone interested can bid. The starting bid for this set of jewelry is¡ª2 million yuan!¡± Hearing this price, the guests below did not find it strange. This was a set of coordinated jewelry, and it could be considered the best among the best. It was just the starting price. After everyone raised the bid incrementally, it would definitely be more than this. Qiao Sisi looked at the jewelry set in the box with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she felt deeply the sorrow of being poor. ¡°Sigh, I wonder if I¡¯ll be lucky enough to be rich in this lifetime,¡± she mused. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that he did not realize that someone had already heard all of her mumbling. When Zheng Zeyi heard that, he mocked rudely, ¡°In your next life.¡± Qiao Sisi paused and red at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, don¡¯t always dampen my spirits.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and looked at Qiao Sisi before looking away. His slender fingers held the porcin cup as he took a sip of the rich tea. Many of the guests in the auction house were interested in the sapphire set jewelry. After Lianxin quoted the starting price, a steady stream of people raised their tokens to bid. ¡°3 million yuan!¡± ¡°3.8 million yuan!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay 4.2 million yuan.¡± ¡°5 million yuan!¡± ¡­ The price quickly soared to more than 5 million yuan. If not for the fact that they were all high-ss people who raised the bid by hundreds of thousands or millions at a time, people who did not know better might wonder what they were up to. The higher the price, the better it was. Now there were fewer people bidding. Even though there were many who liked the item, one still has to act within one¡¯s capability. If one really could not afford it, one should not insist on bidding. So far, only three people were still bidding for the sapphire jewelry set. ¡°Everyone, I really like this set of jewelry very much and want to buy it for someone. Please let me have it,¡± one of them said. Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Small Exchange Meeting

After that person finished speaking, he raised the sign and ced a bid. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 8 million yuan!¡± 8 million yuan! This amount could buy more than one house. People loved beautiful things, but the most beautiful and top-notch jewelry were rare to find. The reason was very simple. Because the price was too high, ordinary people were simply unable to pay this price. This was why such exquisite essories could only be seen at auctions. Qiao Sisi understood such extravagant behavior. She loved beautiful jewelry and also loved to appear beautiful. That was why she became a jewelry designer. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, are you not buying?¡± There was an unusual silence beside them. Qiao Sisi asked, breaking the silence in the room. Zheng Zeyi bought the bracelet just now. This set of sapphire jewelry was of even higher quality. He should be willing to pay¡­ Faced with Qiao Sisi¡¯s spection, Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips and smiled. ¡°Wait a little longer. Baby, do you want it? If you want it, tell me. I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡± ¡°No, no, no. I can¡¯t ept it. Zheng Zeyi¡­ please act normal.¡± Qiao Sisi held her forehead, instantly regretting having asked so many questions. I shouldn¡¯t have talked so much. I was aware of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s nasty temper a long time ago. This time, I must learn my lesson. Qiao Sisi thought to herself as she rolled her eyes at Zheng Zeyi. She was thinking about what he said just now. ...... It seemed that Zheng Zeyi wanted to buy it too. Besides Zheng Zeyi, there were probably many people who wanted this set of jewelry. They were just observing and not making a move. ¡­ ¡°Sorry, I like it too. 9 million yuan!¡± ¡°10 million yuan.¡± A man raised his card and shouted the bid very calmly, as if 10 million yuan was nothing to him. Another bidder continued, ¡°10.5 million yuan.¡± The man nced at the bidder and raised his card again. ¡°15 million yuan.¡± Like Zheng Zeyi, they raised the price arrogantly. It could not be helped. Wealthy people were entitled to be willful with money. Finally, after this price was mentioned, no one continued to raise the bid for the time being. For quite a while, no one made a sound, and the auction house seemed extremely quiet. Lianxin looked around. After seeing that no one was bidding, she knocked the gavel. ¡°This gentleman is bidding 15 million yuan. Does anyone else want to continue? 15 million yuan once!¡± ¡°15 million yuan¡­¡± When Lianxin knocked again, Zheng Zeyi finally did not continue to remain silent. He also offered a high price. When no one was paying attention, he said, ¡°20 million yuan.¡± Another 5 million yuan! Everyone turned their attention to Room 1. The man¡¯s determined expression cracked as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Room 1 upstairs. Even though Qiao Sisi was sitting in the private room, she could feel many gazes on her. She was sure the more astute Zheng Zeyi felt it too. ¡°I want this jewelry set too.¡± Zheng Ze¡¯s voice was smiling, but his expression was cold. He did not look that happy. Qiao Sisi blinked and silently mourned for a few seconds for the man who had just ced his bid. Based on Zheng Ze¡¯s personality, he would probably think of ways to get whatever he wanted. This time, he had taken a fancy to the sapphire jewelry set and, moreover, he was rich. If nothing went wrong, it was very likely that man had no chance with this set of jewelry Poor thing, he¡¯s up against Zheng Zeyi¡­ The man obviously did not know that someone was secretly sympathizing with him. He stared at Room 1 and said, ¡°Esteemed guest from Room 1, I¡¯m from the Liu family. I¡¯m here to buy this set of sapphire jewelry on behalf of my mother. Please give me face.¡± Although he said that and his attitude was not bad, Qiao Sisi, who was in the private room, sensed that something was wrong. When Zheng Zeyi heard that, he fell silent and did not say anything. ¡°Did you hear me?¡± the man asked again. He was getting anxious. He wanted an answer. ¡°Forget it.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up, but he rejected him outright. He had no intention of giving away what he took a fancy to. When the man heard this, he frowned. The guest in Room 1 seemed to have a powerful background. He did not even give face to the Liu family. It seemed that this set of jewelry¡­ No! The man hesitated for a moment before deciding to continue bidding. ¡°21 million yuan.¡± Zheng Zeyi followed closely. ¡°26 million yuan.¡± Qiao Sisi, who was listening, could not helpughing. It seemed like Zheng Zeyi did not want to get himself into trouble with this idiot. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice sounded from behind. Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes widened and he immediately cleared his throat, pretending that nothing had happened. He said, ¡°Nothing, you heard wrongly.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ I see.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded. She did not know if he believed her or not. After Zheng Zeyi ced a high bid of 26 million yuan, the man did not speak for a long time. Just as Lianxin was about to confirm the price, he gritted his teeth and said again. ¡°26.1 million yuan!¡± The young master of the Liu family could only fork out so much money. The others sighed. Perhaps it was because of ack of cash flow or some other reason, but everyone knew that Young Master Liu was a little cash-strapped. Zheng Zeyi had no intention of being polite. He paused for a while and said, ¡°27 million yuan.¡± At this price, the young master of the Liu family did not have the money to outbid him, and the others had already stopped bidding. It was unlikely that anyone would raise the bid now. So this set of sapphire jewelry naturally became Zheng Zeyi¡¯s. Lianxin smiled sweetly like a white lotus. She knocked the gavel three times to confirm the price. ¡°27 million yuan going once, 27 million yuan going twice, 27 million yuan going thrice! Congrattions to the honored guest in Room 1. The sapphire set jewelry will be sent to the roomter. Honored guests, this auction will end here. However, those who wish to take another look at the lots need not be in a hurry to leave. Next, there¡¯s an Exchange Segment. ¡± After Zheng Zeyi obtained the final item, everyone was ready to pack up and leave. However, Lianxin¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Exchange segment¡­ Qiao Sisi looked thoughtful. If she did not guess wrongly, it should be like the normal auction process where people could voluntarily exchange items. As expected, Lianxin began to exin next, ¡°The segment I¡¯m talking about is simr to a small exchange. Guests can interact freely or exchange items. Some of the bought-in lots will be pushed into this segment, allowing the interested parties to exchange for them.¡± Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Why Did You Take Me Here

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

The exchange session began, but Zheng Zeyi and Qiao Sisi did not intend to stay in the auction house anymore. At this moment, a staff member knocked on the door of the private room. ¡°Come in,¡± Zheng Zeyi said calmly as he sat on the sofa. When the staff member heard this, he slowly pushed the door open and entered. He was holding an open ck-gold box with two boxes inside. In one box was the sapphire set jewelry that he had just bought, and in the other was the previous Light Smoke bracelet. The staff smiled obsequiously at Zheng Zeyi and said, ¡°Young Master Zheng, this is yours.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded and handed him a gold card. ¡°Leave it here. Take this card.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The staff member was all smiles as he quickly took the gold card from Zheng Zeyi. His actions were cautious as he was afraid of damaging the card. Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes twitched as she sighed inwardly. Zheng Ze had spent a lot of money on these two items at the auction. The two items cost almost 30 million yuan. The staff member swiped the card on the card machine and sessfully received more than 30 million yuan. He returned the card to Zheng Zeyi. After paying, Zheng Zeyi held the two boxes that had been ced in a bag and got ready to leave. He took big strides and walked quickly away. Before Qiao Sisi could react, he had already left the private room. ...... ¡°Hey¡­ Wait for me!¡± Qiao Sisi quickly stood up, picked up her things, and walked briskly after him. There were many people participating in the exchange. Only Qiao Sisi and Zheng Zeyi were preparing to leave. A big table was ced in the auction hall again. There was something that had been auctioned off previously, as well as other auction jewelry. Everyone could freely exchange items at this time. It sounded like a good idea. As soon as Zheng Zeyi walked out of the private room, he saw a man in a white shirt. It was Young Master Liu, who had fought with him over the sapphire jewelry set. ¡°Young Master Zheng? It¡¯s you.¡± Young Master Liu was surprised to see himing out of Room 1. The two of them faced each other and did not speak until Qiao Sisi followed them out of the private room. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯re really fast.¡± Qiao Sisi took two steps forward, but she was still panting. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stiff posture, Qiao Sisi was a little puzzled. She took two steps forward and her pupils constricted when she saw Young Master Liu. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the man who was vying for the jewelry set just now? Why is he here now?¡± Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and stole a nce at Zheng Zeyi. She tugged at his sleeve. Her intention was obvious. When Zheng Zeyi noticed this, he turned around and nced at him with smiling eyes. Seeing this gaze, Qiao Sisi immediately let go of her hand and looked away, feeling a little ufortable. Young Master Liu¡¯s eyes darted between the two of them. After taking a few nces, he stopped looking at them. He smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to buy it, Young Master Zheng. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have participated in the bidding.¡± Hearing this, Zheng Zeyi smiled. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± ¡°In that case, Young Master Zheng, I¡¯ll take my leave first. Since my mother was not fated to have this sapphire jewelry set, I won¡¯t insist on it.¡± Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave. Before Zheng Zeyi could speak, Qiao Sisi spoke first. ¡°Bye now.¡± Young Master Liu stopped in his tracks. With his back to Qiao Sisi and Zheng Zeyi, his expression was a little dark. He sped up and walked towards the main door of the auction house. ¡°He looks like he¡¯s in a bad mood.¡± Qiao Sisi stretched her neck to look. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this Young Master Liu was smiling insincerely. ¡°Good to know, baby.¡± Zheng Zeyi added, ¡°How should I put it? I can only say that he¡¯s quite smart. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Zheng Zeyi! What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Qiao Sisi red and said angrily. Indeed, I should not have treated this person too well, she thought. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zheng Ze raised his eyebrows and walked towards the main door of the auction house. Qiao Sisi heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them walked side by side. From the back, they looked like an enviable couple. ¡­ She was at the auction house for almost two hours. Aftering out, Qiao Sisi took a breath of fresh air and felt much better. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯ve attended the auction with you. Can you let me go back to work now?¡± Qiao Sisi said with some anticipation. When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi smiled evilly. His eyes seemed to be shining brightly. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Go somewhere with me again.¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯m not going.¡± This time, Qiao Sisi had made up her mind not to agree. However, how could she beat Zheng Zeyi? She was practically dragged away. She wanted to cry. After walking for more than 10 minutes, they were out of the range of Jade Street. This ce was very spacious and empty. Not only were there fewer people, but it even felt a little eerie. ¡°Where is this?¡± Qiao Sisi could not help hugging her clothes as she asked. Zheng Ze had no intention of stopping. ¡°Just follow me. Let¡¯s go.¡± With that, he held Qiao Sisi¡¯s hand without exnation. A warm touch came from his hand, causing Qiao Sisi to be stunned and her face to turn red. She lowered her head slightly to hide her awkwardness. Fortunately, the weather was cool today and the breeze brought with it a refreshing smell. Not long after, the heat on Qiao Sisi¡¯s face dissipated. Finally, the two of them stopped in front of a building. It was a small building about seven or eight stories high. It did not look shabby, but it was definitely not a new house. It was quite ordinary. This ce did not look like the kind of ce Zheng Zeyi would visit. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, why did you bring me here? Just tell me.¡± Qiao Sisi stopped in her tracks. She looked like she would not move a step as long as Zheng Zeyi did not answer her. Zheng Ze held her small hand tightly and watched as Qiao Sisi took a few steps forward. Their faces were so close that her lips were almost touching his. This color¡­ Qiao Sisi swallowed her saliva and blushed shamelessly again. Qiao Sisi really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. She was extremely ashamed. Her heart was beating rapidly, at least several times faster than normal. It was very quiet here. Qiao Sisi was worried that Zheng Zeyi would hear her rapid heartbeat. As expected, Zheng Zeyi saw Qiao Sisi blushing. His thin lips parted as he said, ¡°I think you will like it here. Are youing now?¡± His tone was slightly raised and simply enticing. Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Wanted to Be Alone for a Moment

¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll go. Just pretend I didn¡¯t say anything just now,¡± Qiao Sisi quickly said. She really could not handle this person¡¯s advances. Zheng Zeyi seemed to be the most perfect piece of work by God. His facial features were chiseled and exquisite. That pair of thin lips¡­?Qiao Sisi was afraid that she would not be able to resist kissing him if she looked at him too often. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. Let¡¯s go, then.¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he was somewhat pleased. Qiao Sisi ran to the front and patted her chest to slow down her heartbeat. She also covered her face to avoid revealing her feelings. She was full of tricks. Zheng Zeyi, who was walking at the back, saw this but did not expose her. He just watched her embarrassed look andughed to himself. ¡°Which floor?¡± Qiao Sisi stepped onto the stairs and held the handrail as she asked Zheng Zeyi, who was behind her. Zheng Zeyi said, ¡°The seventh floor.¡± Qiao Sisi paused and looked at the seemingly endless flights of stairs. She resigned herself to her fate and climbed up. The interior staircase of this building was a little old, but it was very clean and well maintained. When they reached the seventh floor, Qiao Sisi was already panting heavily. She leaned against the staircase railing to catch her breath. As expected, this was the downside of not exercising often. Climbing the stairs was wearing her out. ...... Zheng Zeyi was different. His breathing was stable, and his footsteps were steady. He did not look tired at all. Demon. Qiao Sisi muttered quietly and asked, ¡°Is it here?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Knock on the door.¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi raised her hand and knocked on the door lightly. The knocking sounds echoed loudly along the corridor. After knocking for a long time, there was no response. Qiao Sisi was exasperated as she raised her hand to knock again. This is already the third time, she thought. Is there no one in the room? Fortunately, someone finally opened the door when she knocked. It was an old granny in a flowery shirt. She did not look young, and her hair was already white. ¡°You are¡­¡± This grandma was puzzled. Her voice was a little hoarse. When she saw Zheng Zeyi standing behind Qiao Sisi, her expression showed that she understood. She stepped back. ¡°Come in,¡± she said. Qiao Sisi was deep in thought but did not show it on her face. She said politely, ¡°Thank you, grandma. Sorry to disturb you.¡± With that, she stepped into the house and Zheng Zeyi followed. The decor in the apartment had a 1960s look and feel. Other than some modern technological gadgets, this old granny must have loved the style from that era. ¡°Sit,¡± said the olddy, and she sat on the sofa. There was a nket on the sofa that looked soft. After thanking her, Qiao Sisi sat down. She did not know why Zheng Zeyi brought her here. She had never heard of this old granny. ¡°Grandma Chen.¡± Zheng Zeyi, whose cold attitude towards others seemed to have left him, was speaking gently now. Grandma Chen nced at him, picked up the teacup on the table, and blew at it as she said, ¡°Tell me, kid, why are you looking for me?¡± Hearing their conversation, Qiao Sisi was even more certain that this Grandma Chen and Zheng Zeyi were old friends and had a good rtionship. Otherwise, based on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality, he would not speak in a good-natured way. Zheng Zeyi waved the bag in his hand and ced it on the table. He had a smile in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s for you.¡± There was only a box in the bag and the other box was ced elsewhere. However, Qiao Sisi did not notice this detail. ¡°This is¡­¡± Grandma Chen was a little curious. She opened the box. Inside was the sapphire jewelry set that Zheng Zeyi had obtained at the auction just now. It glistened under the sunlight. Seeing what was inside, Grandma Chen¡¯s expression changed immediately. ¡°Why are you giving this to me, kid? I don¡¯t want it.¡± Grandma Chen immediately closed the box again, but it was obvious that her eyes were lingering on the box. She seemed reluctant to part with it. ¡°Grandma Chen, I don¡¯t mean anything else. I just want to exchange it for a book,¡± Zheng Zeyi said again and looked nonchntly at Qiao Sisi. She sat quietly on the sofa and did not say a word. She did not interrupt their conversation but was curious about Grandma Chen¡¯s identity. Grandma Chen nced at Qiao Sisi and smiled kindly. ¡°Forget it, forget it. Let me get it for you. Wait a moment.¡± Grandma Chen got up and went to her bedroom, as if to get some books. Those few nces made Qiao Sisi confused. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what book are you here to get?¡± Qiao Sisi asked softly. A book that Young Master Zheng had toe personally to get was probably not something ordinary. ¡°You¡¯ll like it.¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at Qiao Sisi. Qiao Sisi pointed at herself questioningly. ¡°Me?¡± What did Zheng Zeyi mean??She wondered if the book he asked for was specially for her.?That¡¯s not possible,?she thought. Qiao Sisi frowned slightly, but the thought quickly disappeared. Before she could voice her concerns, Grandma Chen had already found the book in her bedroom. It was in a box. It was obvious that she cherished her book very much. Qiao Sisi looked straight ahead and was quiet with a polite smile on her face. ¡°Little Zheng, take it. Remember to keep it safe¡­¡± Grandma Chen looked reluctant, but she did not hesitate to hand the book to Zheng Zeyi. Rather than storing some things and burying them with her, it was better to distribute them and put them to good use. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Grandma Chen sighed softly and sat back on the sofa. Her gaze was listless as she recalled the past. Zheng Zeyi put the book in another bag and stood up to say goodbye. ¡°Grandma Chen, I won¡¯t disturb you then.¡± ¡°Go.¡± Grandma Chen wanted to be alone for a while. The set of sapphire jewelry Zheng Zeyi brought had really evoked too many memories. She wanted to be alone for a while. After saying this, Zheng Zeyi got up and was about to leave when Qiao Sisi quickly stood up. ¡°Grandma, we¡¯ll get going first. Goodbye.¡± After the two of them said their goodbyes, Zheng Zeyi left the building with Qiao Sisi. The corridor was empty and quiet. As Qiao Sisi walked, she asked, ¡°Zheng Zeyi, is this grandma a jewelry designer too?¡± Although it was a question, she did not sound doubtful, as if she was certain of this fact. Earlier, when Qiao Sisi first entered Grandma Chen¡¯s house, she had already observed the surroundings. There was nothing unusual about the interior design, but there were old newspapers stered on the walls and some books on the table. Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Where Are You Now?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

From all the details, Qiao Sisi could tell that this Grandma Chen seemed somewhat affiliated with jewelry design. She just wanted to know the answer from Zheng Zeyi. Qiao Sisi thought that the book should have something to do with this. She wondered what Zheng Zeyi intended to do with the book since he had put in so much effort to obtain it. ¡°Yes,¡± Zheng Zeyi said without looking back. He had no intention of hiding anything. ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t ask. I¡¯m going back to work now.¡± Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows slightly. At that time, the two of them had already left the building. With that, she prepared to part ways with Zheng Zeyi. She still had to submit a work report tonight, but she had yet to attend to her work. If she had been a littleter, everyone would probably have returned to the hotel. She had just taken a step when a warm hand grabbed her fair wrist. Qiao Sisi was stunned. He did not use too much force, but it was enough to make her heart tingle. She quickly broke free from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grip and pretended to be calm. ¡°What is it now?¡± Zheng Zeyi pushed the bag in his hand to Qiao Sisi without exnation and smiled. ¡°Take it, baby. Don¡¯t panic.¡± ¡°Nonsense, who¡¯s panicking?¡± Qiao Sisi quickly retorted. She was about to return the thing in her hand to Zheng Zeyi when he walked away quickly. Qiao Sisi could not regain her senses and chased after him with the bag. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, wait for me! Your things are still with me. Come back and take them away! Bastard!¡± ...... She ran after him for quite a while but eventually lost him. He had long disappeared. Qiao Sisi muttered something about him being an ass. She hugged the bag and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was exhausted. She touched it casually. There was a box in the bag. It was probably the bracelet, Light Smoke, that Zheng Zeyi had obtained at the auction. Is that guy¡­ really giving it to me??she thought. Qiao Sisi¡¯s face was full of doubt, but her ears turned red.?This gift is too expensive for me. Qiao Sisi found a huge rock and sat down. She was still panting. She took out her phone from her pocket and found Zheng Zeyi in her contacts list. She sent a text message. The text message read: [Zheng Zeyi, you left your things with me.] Sigh¡­ Qiao Sisi put away her phone in exasperation. Not long after she put it back in her pocket, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a reply from Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi: [Baby, don¡¯t be surprised. They¡¯re a gift for you.] Qiao Sisi was dumbfounded. She turned off her phone in disdain.?This guy is really asking for a beating,?she thought. Qiao Sisi looked at the gift bag from the auction. It was very pretty and had a pink ribbon tied around it. There seemed to be something else. Qiao Sisi felt that something was wrong. She opened it and saw a box and a book inside. Isn¡¯t this the book that Zheng Zeyi got from Grandma Chen¡¯s house just now? Why is it here??she wondered. Looking puzzled, Qiao Sisi ignored the bracelet and took the book out of the bag. This book was very heavy. It was smooth to the touch and the quality of the paper was very good. She opened it and was shocked by the content. It was about jewelry design and the making of jewelry. Qiao Sisi quickly flipped through a few more pages. The cutting and polishing techniques here were very different from what she knew. There were also some design suggestions. There were also some examples. There were also pictures with captions. Could Grandma Chen be this book¡¯s¡­?Qiao Sisi widened her eyes. Grandma Chen looked like she could not bear to part with this book. This book must have been written by Grandma Chen,?she thought. Qiao Sisi was bbergasted. She wanted to know the truth now. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Zheng Zeyi nervously. He was not busy now and replied quickly. Zheng Zeyi: [Grandma Chen used to be a jewelry designer.] It was just as she had expected. Without replying, she put her phone in her bag and walked toward the jade museum. However, a myriad of thoughts crowded into her mind. The information in this book was precious and would be of great help to a newbie like her. Moreover, Grandma Chen had spent half her life writing this book and sharing her valuable experience. It would be difficult to repay this favor. Perhaps Grandma Chen would not have thought that Zheng Zeyi would give me the book. Qiao Sisi thought to herself, but she did not know that Grandma Chen had known about this long ago. She just did not point it out. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s family business had nothing to do with jewelry design, so he naturally had no use for this book. But it was different for Qiao Sisi. She was Jinyu¡¯s jewelry designer, and she specialized in this area. What shecked most was guidance from her seniors. Everything happened for a reason. However, Qiao Sisi did not know about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s past. ¡­ Time gradually passed and it was almost evening. Darkness began to cover thend, but the lights on Jade Street made it bright as day. After about five or six minutes, Qiao Sisi arrived at the jade museum with a bag in her hand. The book in the bag was too precious. If not for the fact that she could not put it away now, she would have hidden it in her suitcase. ¡°Hum¡­ Hum¡­¡± Her phone rang. Qiao Sisi opened it and saw that it was a call from Lin Ya. It seemed like everyone had left the jade museum. ¡°Hello, Sisi, where are you now?¡± As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard themotion on the other end. ¡°I¡¯m at the entrance of the jade museum. Have you all left?¡± Lin Ya said, ¡°That¡¯s right. We went to another ce just now. As it was gettingte, Assistant Li and Manager Ye suggested having dinner at this restaurant. I¡¯ll send you the address. Come over quickly.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Qiao Sisi hung up and received a text message about the venue from Lin Ya. It was a nearby restaurant. It was not very far away and only took about 10 minutes on foot. Qiao Sisi hurried over. There were many people in the restaurant. She walked through the hall and came to a stretch of private rooms. The private room that Ye Chen and the rest had booked was 0088. Qiao Sisi found the private room by the staircase on the second floor effortlessly. The moment she opened the door, her colleagues¡¯ gazes were fixed on her. Qiao Sisi was a little embarrassed as she closed the door and walked in. She said, ¡°Assistant Li, Chairman Ye, I¡¯ve already settled my work.¡± Seeing the strange gazes of her colleagues, Qiao Sisi felt even more awkward.?Why are you looking at me like that??she thought.?It¡¯s not like I¡¯m neglecting my work. Zheng Zeyi was the one who insisted on taking me out. Chapter 32

Qiao Sisi thought to herself but her face did not reveal the slightest detail. The junior assistant nodded and pointed at the empty seat beside Lin Ya. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. I¡¯ve reserved a seat for you. It¡¯s over there.¡± Ye Chen, who was sitting on the side, smiled gently and elegantly. No one could tell his emotions from his eyes as he watched her take her seat. When Qiao Sisi sat down in her seat, she was relieved because everyone finally looked away. She ced the bag at her feet and nced at the table. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯re finally back. Where did Young Master Zheng take you to have fun?¡± Lin Ya asked excitedly. The corners of Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes twitched. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. Zheng Zeyi and I weren¡¯t having fun at all. We were doing serious business.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ So it¡¯s business.¡± Lin Ya seemed to know something and nodded knowingly with a wicked smile. Qiao Sisi, who had just picked up her chopsticks, was forced to put them down again. She red at Lin Ya. ¡°Kindly watch your tone. Those who don¡¯t know might think that I¡¯ve done something inappropriate. Speak properly.¡± Lin Yaughed until her stomach hurt. She wiped her tears. ¡°I know, I know.¡± The gathering was a treat for Ye Chen on behalf of Wind City Company. It was a reception for the guests from Jinyu Company. The table was filled with Yunqi¡¯s specialties. Qiao Sisi looked at the food. It was all meticulously prepared and seemed to be quite expensive. The dishes closest to her were a te of sweet and sour spareribs and a te of fruit. Qiao Sisi was already a little hungry. When she saw the food, the rumbling sounds in her stomach grew louder. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to take a piece of sweet and sour pork when the turntable suddenly spun. ...... The sweet and sour spareribs in front of her were spun to another spot. Qiao Sisi frowned and nced at the people at the table. She retracted her hand from the turntable. However, her sharp eyes saw what was going on. Wei Ya! It was her again! It was a bummer. Qiao Sisi frowned and spun the turntable. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour sparerib that was still steaming. Delicious! When the food entered her stomach, she finally felt alive. With a sweet smile on her face, she started helping herself to the other dishes. Wei Ya was about to spin the turntable when Qiao Sisi pressed her hand on the turntable. Although she was not strong, she did not believe that the pampered Wei Ya could be stronger than her. Wei Ya ced her hand on the turntable and tried to turn it for a long time, but it did not budge. She did not want to attract anyone¡¯s attention, so she retracted her hand with a gloomy expression. ¡°Tsk¡­¡± Seeing this, the corners of Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she began to focus on the food on the table. Soon everyone had almost finished eating, and the waiter began to serve a variety of fruits on the table. Ye Chen raised his wine ss and said as he stood up, ¡°Wee to Yunqi, colleagues from Jinyu Company. I hope you won¡¯t me Wind City for not being a good host.¡± The junior assistant quickly raised her ss. ¡°No, no. Thank you for yourpany¡¯s hospitality.¡± The junior assistant nced around and signaled with her eyes. Qiao Sisi and the rest also raised their wine sses. Everyone enjoyed the good wine. While they were drinking, the junior assistant told everyone that she had to rush back to the office immediately to attend to something urgent. She added that Xiang Jinyu had instructed them to return the next day. ¡°Change the schedule of your business trip. CEO Xiang said that there¡¯s something going on at thepany and that everyone has to be back tomorrow. It¡¯s alright if you didn¡¯t learn much. Thepany will arrange your itinerary again next time.¡± The junior assistant frowned.?It seems that something big has happened at thepany. Qiao Sisi thought as she pursed her lips and put down her wine ss. The incident happened too suddenly. They were supposed to be on a business trip for five days, but they were here for about two days and had to leave. His colleagues chatted, but they did not dare to have any objections to this change of n. They were just employees and had to go along with thepany¡¯s arrangements. Besides, if something happened to thepany, how could they stay in Yunqi? That was impossible. ¡°But you can still do some sightseeing in Yunqi tomorrow morning. We¡¯ll head back to the office tomorrow afternoon,¡± the junior assistant suddenly remembered something and said. ¡°Got it,¡± everyone said. Qiao Sisi finally understood why Ye Chen was treating everyone to dinner tonight. It turned out to be theirst evening in Yunqi. They could only visit Yunqi again when they had the chance. Qiao Sisi¡¯s gazended outside the window. The leaves in the trees were rustling in the breeze. She recalled the kind Grandma Chen from this morning. She could not help but sigh. Yunqi was indeed a ce with outstanding people. ¡­ Five minutester, everyone was still drinking and chatting with each other. ¡°Sisi, Lin Ya.¡± Suddenly they heard a gentle voice. Both Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya looked up and saw Ye Chen smiling at them with a ss of red wine in his hand. Ye Chen was really good-looking. Unfortunately, there was a disparity in their status. Otherwise, Lin Ya would definitely have asked for his contact number. Qiao Sisi was different. She had a fianc¨¦ now, although that was in name only. Moreover, with a reputation to protect, it was better for her to focus on her career. ¡°What is it, CEO Ye?¡± Lin Ya could not call him by his name in public. It was better to call him CEO Ye. Qiao Sisi looked at Ye Chen too. ¡°You guys are leaving Yunqi tomorrow. It might be a long time before we meet again. Let me toast you guys.¡± Ye Chen raised the red wine ss in his hand. His intention was obvious. Both Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya raised their sses when they heard that. They clinked sses with Ye Chen and downed their wine. The three of them did not say very much. Seeing that, Ye Chen did not bother them anymore and returned to his seat with the wine ss. Unexpectedly Ye Chen¡¯s toast triggered Lin Ya¡¯s urge to drink more. She began to pour wine for Qiao Sisi, one ss after another. After a while, there was a pile of empty bottles in front of her. ¡°Drink, Sisi, one more ss.¡± Lin Ya gulped down another ss of red wine. ¡°Okay, okay. Don¡¯t drink so much.¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s face was slightly flushed. She also finished the wine in her ss. The two of them challenged each other with the goal of getting the other drunk. It was alreadyte at night when they were preparing to return to the hotel. Even Qiao Sisi was a little tipsy. Lin Ya kept forcing her to drink even though she was already drunk beyond recognition. However, Sisi herself was still quite conscious. The junior assistant sent a car to send them back to the hotel. On the way, Qiao Sisi supported Lin Ya while carrying a bag in her other hand. ¡°Sisi¡­ burp, I think I can still drink two more bottles of wine!¡± Lin Ya held up three fingers for Qiao Sisi. Qiao Sisi said helplessly, ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re the wine god. Sister, don¡¯t move. Can we go back to our room first?¡± Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Something Bad

¡°No¡­ I can really drink. Don¡¯t stop me,¡± Lin Ya¡¯s face was red and her breath reeked of alcohol. It took a lot of effort for Qiao Sisi to sessfully send her to the hotel room. Qiao Sisi closed the door to their room and dropped Lin Ya onto the bed. She was relieved and rubbed her sore shoulder. Lin Ya was still rolling around on the bed, and mumbling about drinking wine. She asked Qiao Sisi to get some for her. ¡°Stay here for now, great-aunt. I¡¯ll go downstairs and make you some lemonade to sober you up.¡± Qiao Sisi couldn¡¯t help smiling. She ced her bag in the drawer of her bedside table and closed the drawer. Then she instructed, ¡°Don¡¯t open the door to strangers. I have my key card and will be back soon.¡± ¡°I know, I know!¡± said Lin Ya. It was not clear if she really knew or if she was faking it. At this moment, Qiao Sisi could not tell the difference. After closing the door, she walked toward the hotel lobby downstairs, ready to make Lin Ya a cup of lemon tea to relieve the effects of the alcohol. As she entered the elevator, she pressed the first floor button. What she did not notice was that after she left the room, a sneaky figure walked toward their room. ¡°Knock, knock, knock!¡± Someone knocked on the door. Lin Ya was hugging a pillow and rolling around on the bed happily. When she heard the knock, she was stunned. ¡°Who is it!¡± ...... Lin Ya looked up and said. She looked a little lost and felt that everything in front of her was blurry. The person outside did not answer her. Lin Ya stood up unsteadily and went to open the door. Wei Ya was standing outside the door, looking at Lin Ya arrogantly. ¡°Who are you¡­ Burp!¡± Lin Ya was so close that her face was almost touching Wei Ya¡¯s. Then she let out an unfortunate burp. A loud noise was apanied by the strong smell of alcohol. Wei Ya widened her eyes and almost vomited. She quickly covered her mouth and took a few steps back. ¡°You b*tch¡­ Lin Ya, step aside. I want to go in,¡± Wei Ya frowned and said rudely. She kept looking into the room, but Lin Ya was blocking her way and she could not get in. ¡°I remember now. You¡¯re that idiot, aren¡¯t you?¡± Lin Ya suddenly raised a finger as if she had suddenly remembered. She smiled happily. Wei Ya could not hold it in anymore. ¡°You¡¯re an idiot.¡± After cursing, Lin Yaughed even harder. ¡°Hahahahaha, I¡¯m not. You are.¡± ¡°You are!¡± ¡°Let me tell you, you¡¯re really noisy. Can you stop?¡± Lin Ya frowned and hit the door. It hurt so much that she immediately retracted her hand and rubbed it. Wei Ya snorted and asked, ¡°Weren¡¯t you more noisy?¡± Lin Ya wanted to say something but she felt sleepy and almost fell to the ground. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. I¡¯m very tired. Help me to the bed quickly.¡± Wei Ya wondered if Lin Ya was really drunk. However, if she wanted to get that thing, she had to get Lin Ya onto the bed first. A strange look shed across Wei Ya¡¯s eyes. In a nonchnt manner, she helped Lin Ya onto the bed and closed the door. Wei Ya pushed Lin Ya onto the bed unceremoniously. Lin Ya hugged the pillow and started rolling around on her own. The entire room was filled with her mumbling. After entering the room, Wei Ya quickly searched the room but did not find what she was looking for on the table or the bedside table. She was looking for the bag that Qiao Sisi was carrying today! When Qiao Sisi first entered the restaurant¡¯s private room, Wei Ya had noticed the bag and was curious about what was inside. After everyone got drunk at the back, Wei Ya pretended to leave the private room. She happened to pass by Qiao Sisi and nced into the bag. She saw a box and a book inside. The box was a jewelry box. Wei Ya was more interested in the thick book. However, since Qiao Sisi was there, she could not do anything. When Lin Ya got drunk, she thought her chance hade. After returning to the hotel, Wei Ya had been secretly observing Qiao Sisi¡¯s room. Sure enough, she saw Qiao Sisi leave the room to go downstairs to make lemonade for Lin Ya. This was the best time to get that thing, so Wei Ya knocked on the door immediately. It was perfect timing. Wei Ya nced at Lin Ya on the bed and smiled disdainfully. Where could it be¡­?Wei Ya searched for a long time but could not find it. Her expression slowly became impatient and a little agitated. If Qiao Sisi came upter, things would not end well.?That b*tch could talk a lot! Wei Ya walked around again until her eyes fell on the bedside table. Her eyes lit up and she smiled. Wei Ya took a few steps forward and opened the drawer. She saw the bag inside. There was no time to think. She picked up the bag. After taking a nce at the room and confirming that she had not left any traces, she immediately left the room and gently closed the door. Qiao Sisi, who was making lemonade downstairs, had no clue what happened¡­ When Wei Ya returned to her room, her sidekick was still showering. She opened the bag and took out a box from inside. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Wei Ya gasped when she saw the bracelet, Light Smoke, in the box. It was so exquisite. How could that b*tch have something so valuable?!?she thought. A hint of jealousy shed across Wei Ya¡¯s eyes as she put the bracelet on her wrist. Under the light, the diamonds shone brightly. Wei Ya nodded in satisfaction and put the thing back in the box. She did not intend to return it to Qiao Sisi. Next¡­ was the book. When she turned to the first page, Wei Ya was shocked by the content inside. She had worked at Jinyu Company for a long time and knew how extraordinary this book was just by reading it. It was definitely not written by an ordinary person. Wei Ya almostughed out loud. She was about to continue reading when the bathroom door opened. ¡°Sister Wei Ya, I¡¯m done showering. Go quickly.¡± Her sidekick walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. Spoiler!?Wei Ya thought. She narrowed her eyes slightly and quietly put the book away. She ced it back in the bag and quickly stuffed it under the bed before her sidekick saw it. ¡°Got it,¡± Wei Ya said. The sidekick was focused on cleaning her hair and did not notice Wei Ya¡¯s sneaky actions. Meanwhile, Qiao Sisi had already finished making her lemonade and was heading upstairs. ¡­ With a beep, Qiao Sisi opened the door with her key card. Lin Ya was still in bed. She was very quiet in bed, not rolling around like before, and seemed to be asleep. Chapter 34

Chapter 34: I Really Can¡¯t Remember

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

¡°Lin Ya?¡± Qiao Sisi closed the door and took a few steps closer. Lin Ya opened her eyes slightly, her consciousness blurred. ¡°Sisi?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here. Come, have some lemonade. You will sober up,¡± said Qiao Sisi. She helped Lin Ya sit up and gently fed her the lemonade. Lin Ya took a few mouthfuls and her throat felt better. She said nkly, ¡°Sisi, I think I saw someone just now.¡± ¡°Someone?¡± Qiao Sisi frowned doubtfully, then rxed and smiled. ¡°Alright, you remembered wrongly. You were a little unwell when you were drunk. Finish this and go to bed.¡± Hearing this, Lin Ya nodded half-understandingly and finished the entire ss of lemonade. After drinking, Lin Ya fell fast asleep. Qiao Sisi tucked her in and took her clothes to the bathroom to take a shower. After her shower, the bathroom was filled with steam. Qiao Sisi¡¯s hair was still dripping wet. She wrapped her head with a towel and stepped out of the bathroom. It was a beautiful night. The window in the room was not closed. Qiao Sisi looked at the night view for a while before receiving a message on her phone. It was from Chen Anna Chen Anna: [Have you been having so much fun that you¡¯ve forgotten me?] There was a crying emoji at the end of the text. Qiao Sisi could not help butugh. Afterughing, she replied ...... Qiao Sisi: [How would I dare to forget you? Don¡¯t worry, I have a surprise for you.] She would be going back to the office tomorrow. In the morning, she would go shopping at Jade Street to see if there was any suitable gift for Chen Anna. As for Zheng Zeyi¡­ Qiao Sisi hesitated for a moment. Thinking about how Zheng Zeyi had helped her so much, she decided to spend some money to buy a gift for him. After chatting with Chen Anna for a while, it was almost midnight. Qiao Sisi yawned and turned off her phone and the bedsidemp. Shey on the bed and was soon lost in her dreams. It had been a tiring day, and she did not notice that something was missing from the drawer. ¡­ The next morning. When Lin Ya woke up, she had a splitting headache. She held her head and wailed. ¡°Sisi¡­ My head hurts.¡± Qiao Sisi had woken up very early. When she heard Lin Ya, she got up and poured her a ss of water. ¡°Who asked you to drink so much yesterday? It¡¯s toote to regret now.¡± ¡°Why did you drink so much but not get drunk?¡± Lin Ya¡¯s eyes were resentful as she raised her head and drank all the water. She finally felt better. ¡°My drinking capacity is too good.¡± ¡°Tch.¡± Lin Ya rolled her eyes and said, ¡°I remember Assistant Li said yesterday that we¡¯re leaving for H City this afternoon?¡± The junior assistant had mentioned this during lunch yesterday. As thepany had an emergency at thest minute, their itinerary had been changed. Qiao Sisi chuckled and said, ¡°I thought you¡¯d forgotten. I didn¡¯t expect you to remember.¡± ¡°Of course. I was drunk, not stupid. Of course I remember,¡± Lin Ya said smugly, raising her eyebrows. Seeing this, Qiao Sisi smiled but did not say anything. The two of them chatted for a while before they packed their luggage. They would be setting off in the afternoon. Qiao Sisi packed all her clothes into her suitcase and nced around the room, thinking of something she had missed. Her gaze fell on the drawer where she had put the gifts that Zheng Zeyi gave her yesterday. Thinking of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words and that book, the corners of Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips curled up.?Actually, Zheng Zeyi is not a bad person,?she thought. At least that precious book is really very important. Zheng Zeyi was even willing to give me the book and a bracelet. If not for the fact that Zheng Zeyi is Yang Yueyue¡¯s cousin¡­ Perhaps I won¡¯t be arguing with him every time I see him. Dada¡­ Qiao Sisi walked quickly to the bed and opened the drawer. She was about to reach in to take the gift bag when she realized that the drawer was empty. How is this possible?!?she thought. Qiao Sisi frowned and looked at the other drawers in disbelief. They were empty. She remembered that she had clearly ced the bag in this drawer yesterday.?Why has it disappeared??she wondered. Could it be that¡­ I remembered wrongly when I was drunk? ¡°No, let¡¯s look again,¡± Qiao Sisi muttered and looked around the room where bags might be ced. However, she could not find the bag anywhere. On the side, Lin Ya was packing up. Seeing that Qiao Sisi was looking for something anxiously, she asked curiously, ¡°Sisi, what are you looking for? Did you lose something?¡± Qiao Sisi nodded and asked anxiously, ¡°Little Ya, did you see a gift bag with a ribbon on it? It¡¯s the one I brought backst night.¡± That book was really too important. It was Grandma Chen¡¯s painstaking expression of her lifetime¡¯s work. She must not lose it. ¡°I¡­ didn¡¯t notice.¡± Lin Ya thought for a moment but could not remember. Yesterday, Qiao Sisi had indeed brought a gift bag into the restaurant, but few people noticed this. In addition, Lin Ya got drunk and had no recollection of what happened after that. Hearing Lin Ya¡¯s words, Qiao Sisi sat on the bed and forced herself to calm down and think about what happenedst night. Last night¡­ when she sent Lin Ya to her room, she had put the bag in the drawer. Qiao Sisi was sure that the gift bag was still there when she sent Lin Ya back to her room. The problem was after she left! Qiao Sisi narrowed her eyes slightly.?Who had been in the room when I went downstairs to make lemonade for Lin Ya? Recalling how Lin Ya seemed to have seen someone in a dazest night, the answer was obvious. ¡°Little Ya, do you remember who came to the roomst night?¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s eyes lit up as she asked abruptly. Lin Ya was dumbfounded at the question. She scratched her head and said uncertainly, ¡°Did I say that I saw someonest night? Why don¡¯t I remember¡­¡± There was a moment of silence in the room. Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and said worriedly, ¡°Little Ya, think again. When I left the room to get you lemonadest night, did someone enter?¡± Lin Ya thought about this carefully. She patted her head and frowned tightly as she searched her memory from the previous night. ¡°I think¡­ so.¡± A momentter, Lin Ya spoke. When she was resting in bedst night, she seemed to have heard a knock on the door. ¡°It was quite a strong knock. I remember that I had gone to open the door, but I¡¯m sorry, Sisi. I really can¡¯t remember what happened after that,¡± Lin Ya said apologetically. She had drunk too muchst night and her head was still hurting. Other than what happened before she got drunk, she had basically forgotten everything else aboutst night. Chapter 35

Chapter 35: You¡¯re Not Going to Admit It

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

¡°It¡¯s fine¡­¡± Qiao Sisi shook her head and fell into her own thoughts. Who could it be??she wondered.?Who would take the effort to steal my gift bag? One by one, the faces of her colleagues shed across Qiao Sisi¡¯s mind before stopping at one person¡¯s face. Wei Ya! In Qiao Sisi¡¯s impression, there was only one person with the motive for doing this¡ªthe arrogant Wei Ya. Although Qiao Sisi did not work on her rtionship with her colleagues, she felt that she was getting along quite well with them. She did not make enemies. Other than Wei Ya. This woman had been targeting her since she joined thepany. Along the way to Yunqi, she had also been ying dirty tricks. Besides, Wei Ya must have noticed that she was holding the gift bagst night. During that time¡­ she seemed to have passed by their table. ¡°Hu¡­¡± Qiao Sisi took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes to calm herself. Lin Ya said worriedly, ¡°Sisi, are you alright? Did you lose something important?¡± Faced with her colleague¡¯s concern, Qiao Sisi forced a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I lost something.¡± ¡°The gift bag from yesterday? Did Young Master Zheng give it to you?¡± The more Qiao Sisi said, the more Lin Ya could guess what might have happened. ...... She seemed to have seen Qiao Sisi carrying a gift bag into the private room yesterday. Qiao Sisi exined, ¡°He gave it to me. After I sent you back yesterday, I ced the bag in the bedside table drawer. But when I looked at it this morning, it was gone.¡± She pointed at the empty bedside table drawer. There was not even a strand of hair inside. Lin Ya felt a little angry for Qiao Sisi. ¡°Then someone came to our room and stole something! How dare the person do such a heartless thing while I was drunk! I must find out who it was!¡± Lin Ya was even angrier than Qiao Sisi. She frowned and started thinking. She thought about it for a long time but could not think of anything. Then Qiao Sisi stood up and walked straight to the door. ¡°Sisi, where are you going?¡± Lin Ya was a little puzzled and quickly got up to follow her. Qiao Sisi opened the door and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m going to find Wei Ya.¡± ¡°Wei Ya¡­¡± Lin Ya followed behind Qiao Sisi, rubbing her chin. She seemed to have remembered something. The hallway of the hotel was very quiet in the morning. Other than the two of them, no one else was around. They could not hear a thing as they stepped on the soft carpet. ¡°Knock, knock, knock!¡± Qiao Sisi came to the door of the next room and knocked. An impatient female voice came from inside. ¡°Who is it? Why are you knocking so early in the morning?¡± Then the person walked to the door and opened it. It was an impatient Wei Ya, who was wearing white pajamas, frowning at Qiao Sisi and Lu Yaohua. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Wei Ya red at Qiao Sisi and leaned against the door, blocking the way into her room. Qiao Sisi could not help but sneer. ¡°To be honest, Wei Ya, did you enter our room yesterday while I was making lemonade downstairs?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand,¡± Wei Ya said, but she felt guilty and attempted to close the door. ¡°Pa!¡± Lin Ya pushed the door with both hands, making a loud noise. She said, ¡°Wei Ya, I think you came into our roomst night.¡± Wei Ya panicked even more and tried to close the door. Qiao Sisi¡¯s gaze was cold. She nced at the flustered Wei Ya and, together with Lin Ya, they pushed her away. Wei Ya could not stop the two of them, so she simply let go of her hands and shouted, ¡°I¡¯ve never been to your room. What on earth are you doing?!¡± The roar echoed through the corridor, but it was not clear how many people heard it. ¡°Let me take a look at your room to know if you¡¯ve been there or not,¡± Qiao Sisi said coldly. She had already determined that it was Wei Ya who stole the book. Other than her, there was no other possibility. She looked at Lin Ya and the two of them began to search the room. Lin Ya searched the cab under the LCD TV and around it, while Qiao Sisis walked to the bedside table without hesitation. The room was quite neat. Wei Ya¡¯s bedside table was filled with cosmetics and some jewelry. Qiao Sisi did not look at the cosmetics. Instead, she opened the drawer and checked if there was any gift bag inside. Unfortunately¡­ There was no gift bag in the first tier! There was none in the second tier either! Qiao Sisi frowned and was puzzled.?Where did Wei Ya put the bag? ¡°Who told you to rummage in my room? Stop!¡± Wei Ya screamed and charged at Qiao Sisi, looking like she was about to hit her. Qiao Sisi grabbed Wei Ya¡¯s wrist quickly. Her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through Wei Ya. Wei Ya quickly broke free and guarded the bedside table. ¡°If you continue to do this, I¡¯ll call the police!¡± ¡°Call the police?¡± Qiao Sisi sneered and stood up. ¡°I¡¯m really curious. A thief like you actually dares to call the police? Go ahead and call the police. We¡¯ll wait here.¡± ¡°You!¡± Wei Ya was furious, but she did not dare to retort. After all, she had indeed stolen the thing. If the police found out, she would not end up well. Just as the atmosphere in the room was getting tense, Wei Ya¡¯s sidekick, who was a little afraid, sneaked out of the room when no one was looking. She headed in the direction of the junior assistant¡¯s room. Qiao Sisi saw Wei Ya¡¯s sidekick escape, but she did not care. She knew she did not do anything wrong. Since Wei Ya had chosen to steal from her, she had to be prepared to bear the consequences! ¡°Let me ask you onest time, where did you put my things?¡± Qiao Sisi said emphatically, her heart filled with anger. Wei Ya pretended to be calm and looked at Qiao Sisi with hatred in her eyes. ¡°Qiao Sisi, I didn¡¯t take your things. Instead, you brought someone into my room to rummage around. Have you thought of the consequences?¡± ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not going to admit it. Move aside!¡± Furious, Qiao Sisi pushed Wei Ya away and opened the third drawer of the bedside table. However, there was no gift bag in the drawer. Lin Ya had searched almost everywhere but the gift bag could not be found. ¡°Sisi, nothing on my end.¡± Lin Ya looked a little displeased as she stole a nce at Wei Ya. ¡°No¡­¡± Qiao Sisi closed the drawer and stood up. In any case, she was certain that the bag was in this room. She just did not know where Wei Ya had hidden it. As long as she was given some time, she would definitely be able to find it. Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Do You Want to Give Me an Exnation?

Wei Ya narrowed her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that neither Qiao Sisi nor Lin Ya had found the gift bag. ¡°Qiao Sisi, you didn¡¯t find it, right? You two are ndering me here. How could you have found it in my room?¡± Wei Ya shouted harshly, looking like she was standing on the moral high ground. However, she did not know that this further confirmed what they thought. If not for her guilty conscience, given Wei Ya¡¯s proud demeanor, she would have called for help. It was impossible for her to reason with him slowly here. The reason must be that the thing was in the room and Wei Ya had to guard it. Qiao Sisi nced around the room and pointed at Wei Ya¡¯s suitcase. ¡°Open it.¡± ¡°Why?!¡± Wei Ya snorted and stood by the side, refusing to touch her suitcase. ¡°Alright, you won¡¯t open it, right? Sure, I¡¯ll open it myself.¡± Qiao Sisi spoke quickly and opened Wei Ya¡¯s suitcase by herself. As the suitcase was not locked, it was easily opened. Unlike what Qiao Sisi had thought, the suitcase only contained some clothes and towels. There was no gift bag. Lin Ya was a little worried. She wondered if anything would happen since they came to Wei Ya¡¯s room without any evidence. ¡°Qiao Sisi, how dare you rummage through my suitcase. Why¡­ Did you find anything?¡± ...... Wei Ya almostughed out loud. She stood by the side with her arms crossed, looking like she was enjoying a good show. Fortunately, the gift bag is not in the drawer or suitcase, she thought. Otherwise, given how Qiao Sisi searched these ces immediately, I would have been found long ago. ¡°You shut up.¡± Qiao Sisi shouted and closed the suitcase. She frowned and there were deep lines between her brows. Where did Wei Ya hide it??she wondered. They had searched all the likely ces and Lin Ya had even checked the bathroom. There was no gift bag. No! There¡¯s another ce that we¡¯ve not searched. Qiao Sisi looked under the bed. This seemed to be the only ce they had not searched. Seeing that Qiao Sisi was looking under the bed, Wei Ya was extremely flustered. Concealing her thoughts, she said, ¡°Since you didn¡¯t find it, get lost quickly. I never took your things. If you leave now, I can still let you off. If things get out of hand, no one will look good.¡± ¡°So you know that your sidekick went to call someone? Why don¡¯t you think about how you¡¯re going to exin it after the things are found?¡± Qiao Sisi was so angry that sheughed. She did not waste time talking to Wei Ya. She poked her head under the bed and saw a gift bag. ¡°Qiao Sisi!¡± Wei Ya called out and immediately knelt down to grab Qiao Sisi¡¯s hair. Fortunately, Lin Ya was not watching idly from the side. She quickly rushed forward to stop Wei Ya. Lin Ya and Wei Ya almost fought. Fortunately, Lin Ya had done physical work when she was young and was stronger. After a few seconds, she subdued Wei Ya. ¡°Sisi, you found it, right? Wei Ya wanted to hit you, but unfortunately, I¡¯m here.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she retracted her hand from under the bed. She was holding a gift bag with a ribbon in it. It was the gift Zheng Zeyi had given her yesterday. As expected, it was stolen by this shameless woman, Wei Ya. Wei Ya red at Qiao Sisi, but could not move as she was held back by Lin Ya. Otherwise, she would have rushed forward to snatch the bag back. ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡± Qiao Sisi waved the bag and said coldly. Wei Ya gritted her teeth but still refused to admit it. ¡°This is clearly mine. Do you think that just because you hold it in your hand, it will be yours? Dream on!¡± Qiao Sisi was stunned by Wei Ya¡¯s shamelessness. She thought that Wei Ya was probably the first person in history to act so self-righteous after stealing from someone. ¡°Not admitting it? Do you think you did it perfectly? You would probably have been caught on the hotel¡¯s surveince camera too,¡± Qiao Sisi said. She thought of the surveince camera in the hallway. If nothing went wrong, Wei Ya should have been filmed going to her room. However, upon hearing this, Wei Ya was not afraid at all. ¡°Since you¡¯re so sure, then go ask the hotel staff and see if I went to your room.¡± Wei Ya looked confident but Qiao Sisi did not know where her confidence came from. Either she firmly believes that she has not been captured on the surveince camera or¡­ Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and opened the bag to take a look. Fortunately, the book and jewelry box in the bag were still intact. It seemed that Wei Ya had yet to do anything. ¡°Yili will call Assistant Li overter. We¡¯ll see,¡± Wei Ya said with her nose in the air. There was no fear in her at all. Lin Ya was a little worried. ¡°Sisi, it should be fine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, don¡¯t worry.¡± Qiao Sisi smiled at Lin Ya, her eyes full of gratitude. If Lin Ya had not apanied her to Wei Ya¡¯s room to look for this bag, she would not have found it so easily. After all, Wei Ya was not someone to be trifled with. ¡°What are you doing!¡± As the stalemate continued, a voice came from the door. Without looking back, Qiao Sisi knew who it was. Other than Assistant Li, who was called to the scene by Wei Ya¡¯s sidekick, Yili, who else could it be? When she turned around, she saw Assistant Li looking very serious. Behind her stood the timid sidekick, Yili, who would poke her head out from time to time. ¡°Assistant Li,¡± Qiao Sisi said. On hearing this, Lin Ya stood up. Lin Ya quickly let go of Wei Ya¡¯s hand and got up to straighten her clothes in disdain. If not for Assistant Li, Wei Ya might have rushed up to hit her. ¡°What were you doing just now?¡± Assistant Li¡¯s tone was serious as she walked into the room. Her gaze fell on the various cabs that had been opened, and her expression darkened. They were leaving in the afternoon and they actually created this trouble in the morning. How could she be in a good mood? Wei Ya raised her eyebrows. Sheined, ¡°Assistant Li, Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya came to my room indiscriminately and said that I stole their things. They turned my room into what it is now. Do you think they should give me an exnation?¡± With that, Wei Ya looked smugly at Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya, a mocking smile on her face. The two fools are still fighting with me,?she thought. Assistant Li said calmly, ¡°It was Yili who called me over. She said that you guys were arguing. Now¡­ Can one of you exin to me what happened from the beginning to the end?¡± Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Still Refusing to Admit It

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

Wei Ya was about to speak first, but this time, Qiao Sisi did not relent. Qiao Sisi opened the bag in her hand and took out a book and an exquisite jewelry box. She ced them on the table. ¡°This is¡­¡± Assistant Li was puzzled. ¡°This is the gift bag I brought into the private room yesterday. I believe a few people saw it,¡± Qiao Sisi said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. She looked towards the door. Assistant Li¡¯s arrival had attracted the attention of many colleagues. A crowd had gathered outside Wei Ya¡¯s room. Of course, Qiao Sisi did not expect these people to testify for her. She had her own way of boosting the credibility of her words. ¡°And?¡± Other than Assistant Li, no one else spoke. Even Lin Ya was quiet. Wei Ya wanted to say something a few times, but Qiao Sisi beat her to it. Qiao Sisi pointed at two things. ¡°Last night, after I sent Lin Ya back to her room, I went downstairs to make her some lemonade. I was sure that before I left, this bag was still in my room. But this morning, I found that the bag was gone. I suspected that Wei Ya had stolen the bag, so I came with Lin Ya to look for it. As expected, I found my things under the bed.¡± There was a short silence. When Assistant Li heard this, she fell into deep thought. The colleagues at the door were discussing softly, not daring to attract the attention of others. ...... Wei Ya quickly retorted, ¡°Bullsh*t, Qiao Sisi. This is clearly my bag. There are gift bags and gift bags. Do you im that a gift bag is yours each time you see one? This bag and the things inside are clearly mine.¡± ¡°Wei Ya, you¡¯re really fearless in the face of danger.¡± Qiao Sisi was so angry that sheughed and could not help but praise her. Does she really think that I have no other way except to monitor her??Qiao Sisi thought,?I have ways to make Wei Ya admit it obediently. The two of them were locked in a staring match. Lin Ya, who was close by, felt that something was wrong. Assistant Li waved her hand. ¡°Alright, quiet.¡± Qiao Sisi gave her face and did not say anything else. ¡°Qiao Sisi, you said that this is yours. Can you prove it?¡± Assistant Li asked, trying to get to the truth from the facts. Qiao Sisi said, ¡°I know what¡¯s in the jewelry box. Also¡­ If we look at the surveince camera footage, we should be able to find out if Wei Ya entered my roomst night.¡± From the looks of it, viewing surveince footage should be the easiest way,?she thought. Assistant Li did not refute and agreed to her suggestion. However, Wei Ya said disdainfully, ¡°So what if you know what¡¯s inside? It¡¯s hard to prove that you haven¡¯t seen them previously.¡± Qiao Sisi could not be bothered with Wei Ya¡¯sst-ditch attempt at denial. Soon one of the colleagues approached a hotel staff member. That colleague asked outside the door, ¡°Hello, does the hotel¡¯s surveince camera monitor this hallway?¡± The staff member said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the surveince camera in this hallway broke yesterday morning. It hasn¡¯t been fixed yet.¡± Hearing this, Qiao Sisi was stunned. She finally understood why Wei Ya looked so fearless when she talked about the surveince footage at the hotel. She knew that the surveince camera was broken, which was why she timed her move. ¡°Well done!¡± Qiao Sisi looked deeply at Wei Ya. When Assistant Li received this answer, her mood worsened. ¡°Both of you are sticking to your own version. I need you to show me the evidence.¡± ¡°Assistant Li, these are my things. Inside is an expensive bracelet that I bought. I bought that book myself too,¡± Wei Ya said hurriedly. After that, she thought of something and added, ¡°Perhaps Qiao Sisi saw my bracelet and specially devised this scheme to frame me so that she could have the bracelet.¡± Wei Ya said confidently, and many people followed her lead. Looking at the jewelry box, they knew that the item inside was expensive. Qiao Sisi dressed in ordinary clothes and it did not seem likely that she could afford to buy expensive things. Perhaps she¡¯s doing this for the bracelet! Assistant Li looked at Qiao Sisi strangely and did not speak for a long time. Qiao Sisi apologized in her heart. Zheng Zeyi, I need to borrow your name for now. ¡°Have you forgotten something?¡± said Qiao Sisi. She opened the box and revealed the bracelet, Light Smoke, that was emitting a dazzling light. Instantly, everyone¡¯s attention was attracted. So beautiful! ¡°This, this, isn¡¯t this that famous bracelet, Light Smoke? I¡¯m actually lucky enough to see it!¡± ¡°This bracelet is so beautiful. Gosh, I can tell at one nce that it¡¯s probably very expensive.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. You can¡¯t afford such an expensive bracelet. Can¡¯t you see the material?¡± Assistant Li could not help staring at the bracelet. She had worked with Xiang Jinyu for so many years, so her knowledge in jewelry was naturally extraordinary. She did not expect the bracelet in the jewelry box to be so precious! ¡°This is a gift from my fianc¨¦, Zheng Zeyi,¡± Qiao Sisi said with a faint smile. Wei Ya panicked and forced herself to calm down in order to find some loopholes in what Qiao Si said. ¡°You said that Young Master Zheng gave it to you. Did he give it to you? I clearly bought this bracelet myself.¡± With that, Wei Ya panicked even more. Zheng Zeyi was not someone she could afford to offend. She did not know if she was right to speak this way. Qiao Sisi hadpletely calmed down. She enunciated each word clearly. ¡°Zheng Zeyi bought me this bracelet at the auction. If you don¡¯t believe me, I can go to Jinhang Auction House to find someone to corroborate what I said. I believe the transaction records are all there.¡± ¡°Jinhang Auction House¡­ Is that auction house near Jade Street?¡± Assistant Li seemed to have some impression. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Qiao Sisi nodded. Seeing that the situation had changed, Wei Ya swallowed her saliva. ¡°No¡­ No, this is mine.¡± She sounded weak. ¡°Still refusing to admit it.¡± Qiao Sisi smiled and took out her phone from her pocket. ¡°Looks like I need to call Zheng Zeyi and ask him to prove it to everyone.¡± Wei Ya shouted, ¡°Stop!¡± If Zheng Zeyi knew about this, she would be done for.?Qiao Sisi, that b*tch! No matter how fierce Wei Ya¡¯s gaze was, Qiao Sisi looked nonchnt. At this moment, Assistant Li began to believe Qiao Sisi¡¯s words. Although Wei Ya said that this belonged to her, she could not produce any evidence. The surveince camera was not working at this time. This was too much of a coincidence. Qiao Sisi was different. She had Zheng Zeyi as her backing. And Assistant Li had previously forgotten something¡ªthe two of them were engaged. Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Are You Alright?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

With Zheng Zeyi around, there was no need for Qiao Sisi to steal from Wei Ya. She would incur the disdain of others for no reason. The other colleagues saw that Wei Ya was flustered, while Qiao Sisi was calm andposed. They had believed Wei Ya just now, but now they were on Qiao Sisi¡¯s side. ¡°With a fiance like Young Master Zheng, why would Sisi need to steal from Wei Ya? This lie is too clumsy,¡± a woman said. The other colleagues echoed her sentiments. ¡°I think so too. If I have such a boyfriend, why would I steal things? It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have money.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. Young Master Zheng is Sisi¡¯s fianc¨¦. Don¡¯t let him hear you.¡± ¡­ As tongues were wagging, Wei Ya¡¯s face turned pale. She knew that at this point, she waspletely defeated. ¡°Qiao Sisi¡­¡± Wei Ya gritted her teeth. She seemed to have squeezed the words out through gritted teeth. Qiao Sisi nced at Wei Ya and pointed at the gift bag. ¡°Wei Ya, prepare yourself mentally. Youmitted theft. This bracelet of mine is worth 1 million yuan!¡± This was a bracelet that Zheng Zeyi had spent 1 million yuan on at the auction! If not for her timely suspicion of Wei Ya, she did not know if she would have found this bracelet. All of them would be going back to City H in the afternoon. Had Wei Ya hidden the things immediately after their return, Qiao Sisi would not be able to find them even if she had magical powers. ...... Fortunately, I¡¯m a bright and quick-witted girl,?thought Qiao Sisi. ¡°The crime of¡­ theft.¡± Wei Ya¡¯s face was pale as she muttered. Then she forced out the words between her teeth. ¡°It¡¯s impossible, Qiao Sisi. You don¡¯t have evidence. You can¡¯t prove that I stole this bag.¡± This was the struggle before death. Qiao Sisi looked at her coldly. Providing evidence would be simple. She just needed to make a trip to the auction house and call Zheng Zeyi. At this moment, Assistant Li¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Sisi,e with me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Although Qiao Sisi was a little puzzled, she followed her. The two of them left Wei Ya¡¯s room and went to Qiao Sisi¡¯s room before closing the door. ¡°Sisi.¡± Assistant Li took a deep breath with a strange expression. ¡°Assistant Li, please tell me.¡± As the situation had evolved to this stage, Qiao Sisi began to conjecture in her heart. No matter how she looked at it, avoiding everyone anding to her room to talk was about Wei Ya¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you then.¡± Assistant Li nodded and went straight to the point. ¡°Sisi, Wei Ya¡¯s theft is indeed not a small matter. I¡¯ll report this to CEO Xiang, and she¡¯ll definitely decide on the oue. However¡­ before CEO Xiang makes a decision, don¡¯t report to the police.¡± As expected, Assistant Li was talking about Wei Ya¡¯s theft. Qiao Sisi was stunned for a moment. After calming down, she carefully pondered over Assistant Li¡¯s words. Based on how this matter had developed, Wei Ya must have some background. This caused Director Xiang to have some reservations, which was why Assistant Li came over to speak to her. Fortunately, the gift bag was back. Qiao Sisi was not so insistent on the oue. Wei Ya had left a criminal record in her heart. She would take note of it in the future. This time, she would do CEO Xiang a favor. After all, she was specially given a spot in the business trip to Yunqi by Xiang Jinyu. ¡°Alright, Assistant Li, let¡¯s do as you say.¡± Qiao Sisi thought for a while before giving her answer. After she agreed, Assistant Li revealed a rare smile. Then she left the room and went to a corner to call Xiang Jinyu to report what happened today. Qiao Sisi returned to Wei Ya¡¯s room and took the bag. ¡°Qiao Sisi!¡± Wei Ya¡¯s gaze was exceptionally terrifying, like a venomous snake. At this moment, she was staring intently at Qiao Sisi. ¡°Wei Ya, I¡¯ve already recorded what happened today using my phone. If you dare to y any tricks, I¡¯ll tell Zheng Zeyi everything along with the evidence and recording. He¡¯s my fianc¨¦. You know very well what will happen next,¡± Qiao Sisi said without any pity. Wei Ya had iting. If she did not have the intention to steal her things, Qiao Sisi would not have been able to use this against her. As for telling Zheng Zeyi about the matter, that might not be necessary. It would depend on the situation afterward. After saying this, Qiao Sisi nced at the dark-faced Wei Ya and called out to Lin Ya, ¡°Lin Ya, let¡¯s go. Remember to keep our things carefully in case someonees to steal them again.¡± When Lin Ya heard this, she quickly yed along and said with a chuckle, ¡°I know. I¡¯ll definitely keep my things carefully.¡± The two of them returned to their room and closed the door with a bang. Since the parties involved had left, the colleagues of Jinyu Company dispersed quickly. As they were leaving, they were still mumbling about what happened today. ¡°Little Mei, did you hear what Sisi said just now? Keep the expensive things carefully. Although we¡¯re all colleagues, we have to be cautious.¡± ¡°You too. Usually, seeing Wei Ya¡¯s arrogant ways. I thought that her family was rich. But well, she was envious of Qiao Sisi.¡± ¡°In my opinion, having a good fianc¨¦ depends on one¡¯s own ability. Wei Ya is not capable and still covets other people¡¯s things. Tsk, tsk.¡± ¡­ All sorts of remarks pierced Wei Ya¡¯s heart. Moreover, these colleagues did not try to lower their voices at all. They were talking as they walked, and almost every sentence could be heard clearly. Wei Ya usually unted her status in thepany, but now, she had been reduced to a thief. An opportunity to get back at Wei Ya was hard toe by, so naturally, these colleagues would not let it go. They chatted andughed, each sentence striking at her heart. The voices were getting further and further away, but Wei Ya¡¯s expression was getting uglier. Qiao Sisi! Wei Ya¡¯s nails dug into her flesh which started bleeding. She gritted her teeth tightly and cursed Qiao Sisi in her heart. If not for Qiao Sisi, she would not have fallen to such a state today. The originally wless n was now ruined. She was even mocked by everyone. Wei Ya was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, as if she would pass out the next second. All the colleagues at the door had left except a woman who walked into the room timidly. It was Wei Ya¡¯s sidekick, Yili. She was the one who brought Assistant Li and the colleagues to the scene. Feeling a little uneasy, Yili took a step closer and hesitated for a long while before saying with a trembling voice, ¡°Sister¡­ Sister Wei Ya, are you alright?¡± Chapter 39

Chapter 39: This Ne Doesn¡¯t Suit Me

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

¡°Get lost!¡± Wei Ya looked up with bloodshot eyes. She was no longer as arrogant as before. Now she was like a stray dog. Yili shook at the look in her eyes and almost fell to the ground. Yili was timid, so it was not surprising that she had gone to look for Assistant Li. It was just that they did not expect Qiao Sisi toe up with such tactics. Wei Ya gritted her teeth and scratched her head in frustration. She looked at Yili, who was still standing there, and shouted, ¡°Get lost! Get out!¡± Faced with the repeated howling, Yili was almost scared out of her wits. She did not dy any longer. Pulling her suitcase and bag, which she had already packed, she ran out of the room without hesitation. One wondered if Yili would continue to be Wei Ya¡¯s sidekick after today¡¯s incident. Wei Ya sat on the ground. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were bloodshot. Filled with hatred, she gripped the carpet tightly. Qiao Sisi, I will definitely make you pay the price! ¡­ On the other side. After Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya packed their luggage, the two of them dragged their luggage downstairs to the hotel lobby. ...... Thepany car was already waiting downstairs. They could put the luggage in the car beforehand and go shopping at Jade Street. Since they were already here in Yunqi, if they did not bring something back, how could they prove that they had been here? The elevator button was pressed. It was quiet as only Lin Ya and Qiao Sisi were in the elevator. ¡°How did you know that Wei Ya stole your things?¡± Lin Ya sat on her suitcase, her hand on the elevator¡¯s grab bar as she asked curiously. When Qiao Sisi heard this, she nced at her. ¡°She¡¯s the one who doesn¡¯t have a good rtionship with me. Moreover, her room is next to mine. Logically speaking, she should be the biggest suspect when I went downstairs to make lemonade.¡± It was precisely because Qiao Sisi was certain that she would go to Wei Ya¡¯s room. Otherwise, she would not have gone to search her room under dubious circumstances. No matter how she looked at it, what Wei Ya did was against the rules. ¡°That makes sense!¡± Lin Ya¡¯s eyes lit up as she gave Qiao Sisi a thumbs up. Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows. ¡°Low profile, low profile.¡± The two of them chatted andughed as the elevator reached the first floor. They dragged their luggage out of the hotel and ced them in the car. After getting into the car, Qiao Sisi realized that not many colleagues hade downstairs. There were only four or five of them. Assistant Li, Wei Ya, and Wei Ya¡¯s sidekick, Yili, were not there. Thepany driver at the front seat said, ¡°Assistant Li told me just now that no one else is going. I¡¯ll take you guys around the city now.¡± With that, he started the car. Although Qiao Sisi could not quite understand, she did not want to interfere. She leaned back in her seat and looked at the scenery outside the car. Seating by the window and looking at the scenery was probably one of the ways for people to calm down. Qiao Sisi no longer ced the jewelry box and the book in her suitcase. Instead, she ced them all in her bag which she always carried with her. Fortunately, the bag was just big enough for the jewelry box and the book. Qiao Sisi did not want the same thing to happen again. She could not guarantee that she could find out who did it every time. Light Smoke was expensive and it was hard to guarantee that no one would be tempted. To a jewelry designer, that book was a treasure. Qiao Sisi would never allow herself to lose it. After a while, Lin Ya felt a little bored and said, ¡°Sisi, do you think Wei Ya will be fired by CEO Xiang this time?¡± Stealing was not a small matter, especially in a bigpany like Jinyu. They would never allow a person with a tainted record to continue working there. However¡­ It was hard to say. Qiao Sisi shook her head slightly to indicate that she was not very sure. ¡°I don¡¯t know either, but I think Wei Ya will not be fired.¡± It was a woman¡¯s intuition. ¡°No way. If Wei Ya is not fired after doing such a thing, how well connected is she?¡± Lin Ya frowned. Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Well, those with backgrounds are different from us.¡± ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t believe we have to keep Wei Ya around. I¡¯m really afraid I won¡¯t be able to control my hand,¡± said Lin Ya helplessly as she blew at her fist. These words made Qiao Sisiugh. Lin Ya¡¯s personality was a little simr to Chen Anna¡¯s, but not exactly the same. Chen Anna looked carefree on the surface, but she was actually very meticulous. Lin Ya was different. She waspletely carefree like a tomboy. Ten minutester, thepany¡¯s car arrived at Jade Street where they had previously visited. Besides the Jade Restaurant, which Qiao Sisi had visited once, she had not seen any other ce on Jade Street. Once Lin Ya got out of the car, she saw a breakfast stall. She bought four buns and gave two to Qiao Sisi. Lin Ya took a bite of her bun and said incoherently, ¡°Sisi, what gift are you going to buy to bring back?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know yet. Let¡¯s take a look first.¡± Qiao Sisi also took a bite of the bun in her hand. It was rich and juicy, and the minced meat filling inside was very chunky. It was cheap and good. The two of them walked around Jade Street aimlessly while eating the buns. Finally, they came to a jewelry store. It did not look upscale, but it was not exactly ordinary either. It suited the ie range of people like Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya well. Qiao Sisi finished her bun, wiped her hands, and walked into the store with Lin Ya. This jewelry store was not big. There were shelves on all four walls with exquisite jewelry on disy. The prices were varied. The advantage of a small store was that after you entered, there would not be a salesperson shadowing you. Lin Ya was a little excited. She walked quickly to a rack full of nes. They were dazzling. Qiao Sisi also took a few steps forward and looked at these nes. ¡°Sisi, what do you think of this ne?¡± Lin Ya was holding a ne with a shiny dolphin at the end. It looked cute. There was a mirror on the shelf in front of the two of them, which allowed them to try on the nes. Lin Ya put the ne around her neck without much fuss. She made a few simple gestures. After looking at it for a while, she put the dolphin ne back. ¡°This ne doesn¡¯t suit me. Pick again.¡± On the side, Qiao Sisi was also browsing the nes. She was not buying something for herself, but a gift for Chen Anna. As for what to buy for Zheng Zeyi, she had not thought about it yet. She could not possibly buy a girly gift for him. That would be unrealistic. Chapter 40

Chapter 40: A Gift for Zheng Zeyi

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios

The thing was that Zheng Zeyi was two-faced. If Qiao Sisi gave him a gift, the two of them might end up arguing on the spot again. This time, she really wanted to thank Zheng Zeyi. Naturally, she would not do such a thing. ¡°Eh¡­¡± Qiao Sisi murmured and saw a ne with a round pink gem at the end of it. The chain of the ne was made of fragmented diamonds. When she picked it up, she raised it a little higher and it shone faintly. Somewhat girlish but it was very pretty. She thought that Chen Anna would like this gift. Qiao Sisi held the ne and her lips curled up. She looked at the other shelves and chose this ne for now. If she saw something better, she could just switch it. Unfortunately, no other jewelry caught her eye. Instead, Lin Ya excitedly chose a ne and a bracelet. They were both rtively simple and stylish. Just as Qiao Sisi was about to walk to the counter to ask for the price, she suddenly remembered that she still had not chosen a gift for Zheng Zeyi. She quietly retreated. Regarding Zheng Zeyi¡­ Qiao Sisi walked two rounds but did not find any suitable gift. A staff member in the jewelry store saw her walking around and asked curiously, ¡°Miss, may I know what you¡¯re looking for?¡± ...... Qiao Sisi nodded and hesitated before saying, ¡°I want to find a gift suitable for a guy, but¡­ I haven¡¯t found any yet.¡± The staff member smiled knowingly. It was unclear what she was thinking. A momentter, Qiao Sisi was ushered to a rack. On this shelf were jade rings, silver rings, watches, and other items¡ªa collection that was very eye-catching. However, Qiao Sisi frowned. She was not happy with all this. She smiled at the staff and said, ¡°Sorry to trouble you. I don¡¯t really like these.¡± Just then, Lin Ya was done with her shopping. The two of them walked to the counter to settle the bill. ¡°Hello, the total is 2,100 yuan,¡± the receptionist said to Lin Ya with a sweet smile. She had chosen two or three pieces of jewelry. This price was not cheap for them. However, Lin Ya took out her wallet and paid the money generously. She looked confident.?Women should treat themselves better,?she thought. The ne that Qiao Sisi bought for Chen Anna was even more expensive. It was 2,300 yuan. She took out a bank card from her wallet. ¡°Swipe my card.¡± ¡°Alright, customer.¡± After swiping their cards, the staff considerately packed their gifts in exquisite gift boxes and ced them in gift bags. Even if Lin Ya had bought it for herself, she would have liked this sort of packaging. After buying their things, Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya left the jewelry store. Fortunately, it was still early and they were in no hurry to leave. On the way, Qiao Sisi looked at Lin Ya and asked, ¡°Little Ya, what gift do you think¡­ I should buy for a guy? I saw the items at that store just now. They don¡¯t seem appropriate.¡± Lin Ya blinked and instantly knew who Qiao Sisi was giving it to. She could not help but smile evilly. ¡°Sisi, you want to give it to Young Master Zheng, right? I¡¯m sure I didn¡¯t guess wrongly!¡± ¡°Well, yeah.¡± Qiao Sisi¡¯s lips twitched as she forced a smile. However, it was not appropriate to say that she was just thanking Zheng Zeyi for helping her. At least they were still pretending to be engaged. Yang Yueyue would be happy if they were found out too early. After Lin Ya had the answer, she got even more excited. She started thinking seriously about what gift to give. After a while, she said uncertainly, ¡°Sisi, what do you think of a tie as a gift for Young Master Zheng? There seems to be a store for men¡¯s clothes on this street, but the price seems to be¡­¡± Lin Ya did not finish her sentence, but Qiao Sisi understood that the prices at a men¡¯s clothing store would not be cheap. Well, well, even if I have to dig deep into my pocket, so be it. Zheng Zeyi has helped me a lot,?she thought. Enduring her heartache, Qiao Sisi said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The men¡¯s clothing store that Lin Ya was talking about was in the middle of Jade Street. It was unique among the stores. When Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya entered the store, they realized that there were quite a number of people inside. Most of them were probably here to pick gifts. They even saw Jinyu¡¯s colleagues among them. The sales assistant was also busy. When she saw the two of them enter, she only said politely, ¡°Wee.¡± Qiao Sisi did not mind and started shopping with Lin Ya. This men¡¯s clothing store was filled with premium men¡¯s clothes. Be it western clothes or casual clothes, they were all so expensive that no one wanted to look at them. Qiao Sisi¡¯s heart trembled as she looked at the tie cab in front of her. ¡°Sisi,e over and take a look. These are all quite nice. Which one do you want to buy for Young Master Zheng?¡± Lin Ya waved quickly and leaned against the counter to look. Qiao Sisi nced at the ties and finally chose a ck one. It was simple, but it suited Zheng Zeyi. At the thought of Zheng Zeyi wearing that fancy tie and smiling devilishly, Qiao Sisi could not help shuddering. He is practically a devil,?she thought. ¡°I think this tie looks pretty good.¡± Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows and pointed at the ck tie. Lin Ya gave an OK sign and found a salesperson in the store. She pointed at the tie that Qiao Sisi had taken a fancy to and asked, ¡°Thank you. How much is this tie?¡± The prices of the ties at the counter were not listed, so they would have to ask the salesperson. The salesperson nced at the two of them and smiled politely. ¡°Ladies, this tie costs 6,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Lin Ya was about to speak when she was interrupted by the sales assistant. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Bargaining is not allowed in the store. The prices are all marked.¡± Lin Ya was stunned. She pursed her lips and Qiao Sisi frowned. She sensed that this salesperson looked down on them, but she did not have any evidence. ¡°Alright, we understand. Go back to your work,¡± said Qiao Sisi. As soon as she finished speaking, the salesperson left impatiently. Lin Ya watched her leave and pursed her lips. ¡°What¡­ I was not asking for a discount. I just wanted to know if there¡¯s anything else besides the tie at this counter. Seriously.¡± Her good mood was dampered. Qiao Sisi smiled and said nonchntly, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll leave after buying. I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll get a second chance to meet in this lifetime. Just ignore her.¡± ¡°Well, then, I¡¯ll pretend she doesn¡¯t exist.¡± Lin Ya nodded reluctantly. Although she did mind, she felt better after hearing what Qiao Sisi said. Chapter 41

Chapter 41: You ... Can understand, right?

¡°Sisi, do you want to buy this tie?¡± Lin ya asked. It was indeed a little expensive ... Joes gritted her teeth and nodded,¡±¡±Go ahead and buy it.¡± With this purchase, he would lose almost a month¡¯s sry. The two of them then found another saleswoman to retrieve the tie. After carefully wrapping it up, joesse took out her bank card. When she was paying, her heart ached. When she heard the ¡°beep¡± sound of the card being sessfully swiped, she felt her heart bleeding. When she finally walked out of the shop, Joes was a little dazed. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t be so sad. Young master Zheng doesn¡¯t need the money. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Lin yaughed at joesse¡¯s state of mind. ¡°I know, I know. Let¡¯s go.¡± The corner of Qiao SI¡¯s eyes twitched after she finished speaking. Zheng Zeyi was rich, but that money was not hers. How could she not feel heartache when she had to spend all her money on this tie? After working for so many years, Joes ¡®savings were only about 50000 to 60000 dors. In the end, she had spent nearly 10000 dors today. She was no longer in the mood to shop. The two of them strolled around the streets. When it was almost time, they went to the ce where they first got off. ...... After the driver saw that everyone was present, he officially set off back to the hotel to pick up assistant li and the others who were not at Jade Street. Ten minutester. Joesse saw assistant li and the rest from afar. Her colleagues were also there, but Wei Ya was not. Where was Wei Ya? Joes furrowed her brows slightly. She reckoned that only assistant li would give her the answer, but now ... It was not a good time to ask. The other colleagues, including assistant li, got into the car, and thepany¡¯s exclusive car began to set off for city H. Obviously, Lin ya had also noticed that Wei Ya was not there. She moved closer and said,¡±¡±Sisi, look, Wei Ya doesn¡¯t seem to be here. I don¡¯t know where she went.¡± Joes swept her gaze across the room, her eyes filled with suspicion, but she quickly calmed down,¡±¡±Maybe she has other things to do. Just ignore her.¡± Lin ya nodded and leaned back in her seat. Although the two of them didn¡¯t speak again, they were actually listening to the contents of other people¡¯s conversations. Someone should know the inside story. As expected, the two female colleagues who sat in front of joesse were discussing this matter in low voices. Joes¡¯s body leaned forward slightly without a sound, just in time to hear the contents of their conversation. ¡°Did you know that Wei Ya was taken away?¡± The long-haired girl said in a low voice. The other girl was very surprised and quickly asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on? who took Wei Ya away? Didn¡¯t she steal something? did the police take her away?¡± ¡°No.¡± The long-haired girl shook her head, cleared her throat, and continued,¡±¡±I heard that her family took her away, and President Xiang didn¡¯t fire her.¡± ¡°No way ... Can a thief still stay in thepany? If it was me, I would have been kicked out long ago. ¡± ¡°Sigh, you don¡¯t understand. Wei Ya¡¯s family has some background. Even President Xiang has to take care of her. We¡¯re just ordinary people, so don¡¯t even think about it.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The two female colleagues continued to chat in low voices, but Joes was not interested in what they were going to say. It should be said that she had already guessed that things would develop this way in the morning. If Wei Ya was just an ordinary person, assistant li could have relieved her of her post or punished her on behalf of the president. However, assistant li did not. Not only that, but assistant li also came to find him, asking her to ask President Xiang before giving her an answer. At this moment, the truth was clear. Wei Ya ... Joes narrowed her eyes slightly. So what if she was not fired? in the future, if she still dared to provoke her in thepany, she would have a way to deal with her sooner orter. Qiao si si admitted that she was not a kind and magnanimous person who was willing to repay evil with good. She still remembered Yang Yue Yue¡¯s grudge. Lin ya, who was sitting next to them, also heard the conversation between the two female colleagues. ¡°Sisi, what do you think is Wei Ya¡¯s background? how could she leave unscathed?¡± Lin ya felt very depressed. Right now, she also didn¡¯t like that Wei Yate. ¡°I¡¯m not sure,¡±Joes shrugged. If she had known about Wei Ya¡¯s background, she would not have been left unscathed this time. The two of them sighed at each other and leaned back in their seats to rest. It was very quiet in the car. Lin ya did not sleep wellst night, so she fell asleep very quickly. Joes also leaned back and closed her eyes to rest. She didn¡¯t know when, but she fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was already dark outside. The night was so dark that she couldn¡¯t even see the moon, let alone the stars. Joes rubbed her eyes and thepany¡¯s car stopped. Manager li stood up and said,¡±¡±My colleagues, we¡¯ve arrived at thepany. You can get off the car and take your luggage home now.¡± Joes nudged Lin ya, who wiped her drool and yawned sleepily before alighting with Joes to get her luggage. ¡°Sisi, I¡¯ll go home first. See you tomorrow.¡± Lin ya pushed her luggage and bade Jossi farewell. Joes waved her hand and smiled,¡±¡±Sure, see you tomorrow.¡± Watching Lin ya¡¯s back disappear at the intersection, joesse was about to push her luggage and leave when assistant li walked over. ¡°Sisi.¡± Hearing that, Jossi stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion.¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter? Assistant li. ¡± ¡°You know,¡± assistant Li said with a smile.¡±It¡¯s about Wei Ya.¡± ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were clear. In fact, she had already heard about the entire incident from the car. ¡°About Wei Ya, President Xiang wanted to fire her, but she was in a difficult position. Wei Ya¡¯s background is not that deep, but her family has some connections with President Xiang. You ... Can understand, right?¡± Assistant li exined in more detail. After Joes heard that, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. It turned out that Wei Ya¡¯s family had a rtionship with President Xiang and Xiang Jinyu. Perhaps they were indebted to each other or something. It was not easy to deal with such a thing. Joes ¡®considerately¡¯ said,¡±¡±I can understand, assistant li.¡± Hearing this, assistant li heaved a sigh of relief. If Jessi were to hold on to this point, things would be difficult. Fortunately, this person was still reasonable. ¡°If Wei Ya dares to do such a thing in thepany again, President Xiang will not let her off. You can rest assured.¡± Assistant Li said with confidence. Friendship was something that would only be used once. It was impossible to help unconditionally for a lifetime. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Joes pulled her luggage and revealed a faint smile. He was already prepared for this, so when he heard the answer, he didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Something doesn¡¯t seem right

Under the dark night sky, most of Shiyu¡¯s colleagues had already taken their luggage and returned home. Assistant li looked up and smiled.¡±¡±Then I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. You should go home early and rest.¡± After saying that, she got back into the car. The driver started the car and drove away quickly, leaving a trail of ck exhaust. Jossi was the only one left in front of thepany. The surroundings were quiet and somewhat frightening. Joes dragged her luggage and walked home. The wheels of the luggage made a loud noise as they rubbed against the ground. ¡°Da da da ...¡± Joes scanned her surroundings and felt that this quiet environment was really sending a chill down her spine. After walking for a while, Chen Anna made a phone call. ¡°Hello?¡± Joes picked up the phone with one hand and dragged her luggage with the other. Her voice was extremely loud on the empty street. On the other end, Chen Anna said excitedly,¡±¡±Sisi, have you arrived at Shiyupany?¡± On the way back to city h, Qiao si had sent Chen Anna a message to inform her that she had returned early. He didn¡¯t expect this girl to be so sharp. ...... Joes was touched, but she did not show it on her face. She smiled and said,¡±¡±We¡¯re here. Why are you in such a hurry to get the gift?¡± ¡°What are you saying!¡± Anna Chen was extremely dissatisfied with Joes¡¯s ndering of her character. After a moment, she continued,¡±Sisi,e to my house for dinner tonight. You must be starving on the way here. I¡¯ve prepared hot pot.¡± ¡°This ...¡± Upon hearing Anna Chen¡¯s words, Joes stopped in her tracks. After pondering for a moment, she no longer hesitated and turned around to walk towards Anna Chen¡¯s house. ¡°I¡¯lle over now. Wait for me. ¡± Chen Anna snapped her fingers and smiled brightly,¡±¡±Alright, the Manchu Han Imperial Feast will be waiting for you.¡± With that, the call was hung up. Jossi dragged her luggage and quickened her pace. The environment made her feel uneasy. Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened. Ten minutester, Joes arrived at Anna Chen¡¯s house safely. ¡°Knock, knock!¡± Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t wait to jump up from the sofa and run to the door. ¡°Sisi!¡± A face that was only a few centimeters away from her was right in front of her, and Joes¡¯s heart almost jumped out. Joes patted her chest and red at Chen Anna.¡±¡±Who are you trying to scare? hurry up and go in.¡± The lights in the corridor were a little broken and flickered. Qiao si did not want to stay any longer and quickly walked into Chen Anna¡¯s room. After the door was closed, Joes leaned back on the sofa and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Madam? you look tired. ¡± Anna Chen said with a smile and handed him a ss of water. ¡°I¡¯m tired. Do you know how much has happened?¡± Joesid down on the sofa,pletely losing her image in front of Anna Chen. There was a pot on the table in the living room, and in the pot were all kinds of hot pot ingredients, emitting a strong aroma. After swallowing her saliva, Joes sat up straight. Anna Chen brought two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen. The two of them began to eat hot pot in the living room. ¡°Why ... Tell me what happened?¡± Chen Anna raised her eyebrows curiously and ate a hot meatball in one bite. Joes nodded and described the entire incident to Chen Anna. As expected, Chen Anna put down her chopsticks and started cursing. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him? he can still work after stealing? isn¡¯t he just letting a rat¡¯s poop spoil a pot of porridge?¡± Chen Anna was so angry that she wanted to argue with Wei Ya face to face, but she was finally persuaded by Joes in a kind tone. Everyone in Jinyu¡¯spany knew this. This was enough. If she continued to stay, the only one who would be embarrassed would be Wei Ya. After this exnation, Chen Anna¡¯s anger subsided, and she began to eat the hot pot again. ¡°Oh right, while you weren¡¯t in city h, yang Yueyue started to stir up trouble again.¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help butugh. Yang Yue Yue, you could say that she was smart, but sometimes she was stupid. However, even if she was called stupid, she had endless ways of framing Joes. ¡°What did she do this time?¡± Joes asked curiously. Hearing this, Chen Anna picked up the remote control on the sofa and turned on the TV channel. She chose ye ¡®Zi channel, which was showing a TV series at this time. Looking at the television, joesse was stunned.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± On the TV was a Mary Sue campus romance drama, and it was currently ying a clip of the female lead being bullied on campus. This female lead ... She had a standard oval face, bright eyes, white teeth, red lips, and white teeth. She was like a young and beautiful first love in all the boys ¡®impression. Anna Chen sighed and then exined,¡±¡±Do you see this female lead? her name is Lin Xiu ¡®er, a well-known female star in the entertainment industry.¡± Qiao si did not know much about the entertainment industry. After hearing Chen Anna¡¯s exnation, she was even more confused.¡±A famous female artist...Why are you telling me this?¡± Chen Anna smirked and raised her eyebrows,¡±¡±I just happened to see a News interviewst time. It was an interview with Lin Xiu ¡®er, and yang Yueyue happened to be present at the time. You definitely wouldn¡¯t have thought of it, because we never paid attention to these things before. That Lin Xiu ¡®er is actually Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend!¡± BOOM! Joes was stunned. He felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning, and he couldn¡¯t react in time. She stared nkly at the woman on the television screen. She did not expect ... That she was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend! No matter how she thought about it, joesse¡¯s current emotions were extremelyplicated. Her first reaction was not the gloating one she had in the past. ¡°Sisi, are you surprised? I was stunned when I saw him. Zheng Zeyi is Yang Yue Yue¡¯s cousin. He¡¯s not a good person. ¡± Chen Anna suddenly felt her IQ soar. Based on Yang Yue Yue¡¯s personality, most of the people around her were probably not good people. After a long while, Joes finally regained her senses. When she heard Chen Anna¡¯s words, she twitched her lips and said,¡±¡±Yeah, I really didn¡¯t expect that.¡± Her mind was numb with thoughts. For some reason, Joes found out about this news and felt a little depressed. The hotpot in the bowl also lost its taste, making it tasteless. ¡°Sisi, what¡¯s wrong? It doesn¡¯t seem right. ¡± Chen Anna noticed her friend¡¯s unusual behavior and asked worriedly. Upon hearing that, joesse waved her hands hurriedly,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just too tired after a long day. Please continue, I¡¯m listening.¡± Jossi knew nothing about this unfamiliar Lin Xiu ¡®er. She was usually busy with work and basically had no time to watch dramas, so she didn¡¯t understand them. It was not until Chen Anna told him that Zheng Zeyi had an ex-girlfriend ... Chapter 43

Chapter 43: What are you thinking about?

Chen Anna tried to recall the news interview and said,¡±¡±I remember that Lin Xiu ¡®er said in the interview that the two of them separated because they felt that they were not suitable.¡± ¡®Not suitable ...? Jossi frowned but did not say anything. This was themon excuse for breaking up. Based on her guess, it shouldn¡¯t be that simple. ¡°Who cares? most of the interviews in the entertainment industry are just superficial. Who knows what the truth is behind the scenes?¡± Chen Anna saw through him and started eating the hotpot after saying that. After silently praising him, Joes suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart. After the two of them finished eating hotpot, Qiao sisi did not n to return to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment. Instead, she decided to spend the night at her good friend¡¯s house. Perhaps it was because she was too tired after a long day, Joes fell into a deep sleep the moment she got into bed. In just a moment, there was a soft breathing sound that was extremely calm. Day and night alternated, and time flew by. The time that quietly passed by was extremely fast. By the time Joes woke up, it was already the next morning. Fresh air entered the room with a gentle breeze, and she could not help but take a deep breath. ¡°Sisi, it¡¯s toote. I have to go earlier today!¡± Chen Anna¡¯s anxious voice came from outside the room. Due to her special work today, she had to get to work early. ...... ¡°I know. You can go first. I have to go to work too.¡± Joes replied. Just as she changed her clothes, she saw Chen Anna holding a piece of toast in her mouth and running out of the apartment with her bag. That speed was the best in a 100-meter race. Qiao si si could not help butugh. After having some breakfast, she took the bus to Jin Yu¡¯spany. After a night¡¯s rest, her colleagues looked much better, and they all greeted her when they saw her. ¡°Morning.¡± Joes responded to them one after another. She went to her desk and greeted Lin ya with a smile. Lin ya pushed a cup of milk tea over and greeted him,¡±¡±Morning sisi, how was your rest yesterday?¡± The milk tea was still warm, as if it had just been bought. Joes did not stand on ceremony and took it, saying,¡±¡±I¡¯m alright. I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed. I¡¯m much more energetic after a night¡¯s sleep. ¡± After saying that, she inserted the straw into the milk tea and took a sip. There was a strong Milky fragrance in her mouth, which was the original vor she liked. ¡°Me too!¡± Lin ya said excitedly. She had fallen asleep as soon as shey on the bedst night. A few hours ¡®drive was indeed a little tiring. The two of them chatted for a while and then began to busy themselves with the work at hand. On the surface, nothing seemed to have happened in thepany. He wondered what thepany¡¯s issues assistant li was referring to were. In any case, none of the colleagues who had returned knew the reason. Not long after, Wei Ya, who seemed to have disappeared, finally reappeared in thepany. He was wearing a white shirt and ck tights. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he attracted many people¡¯s attention the moment he appeared. Many colleagues did not show anything on the surface, but in fact, they were secretly discussing Wei Ya¡¯s theft. When she heard that, her expression turned ugly in an instant. Her hands clenched into tight fists as she walked straight to her desk. In the process, she even nced at Jessi. There was a strong hatred in his eyes, and he did not try to hide it at all. Naturally, joesse knew that this petty woman hated her. However, she was not Grandpa Mao, so she could not make everyone like her. Moreover, Wei Ya¡¯s targeting of her was inexplicable. ¡°Sisi, look at her. She¡¯s not as arrogant as she used to be, is she?¡± Lin ya also saw this scene and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Wei Ya was usually overbearing and looked down on everything. Even her walking posture was full of confidence. He didn¡¯t know what he had experienced this time, but he felt a little depressed. Lin ya felt extremely relieved, and not long after she finished, she said,¡±¡±How did she look at us when she walked in the past? she looked down at us from above. Now, she can only walk in defeat.¡± ¡°Who asked her to steal things? I can only say that she deserves it.¡± Joes expressed her understanding and took another sip of warm milk tea. If Wei Ya had not stolen her jewelry box and the book out of jealousy, she would not have used this method. After all, she was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e on the surface. How could she not make use of such a good title? Wei Ya must have been warned by her family not to act arrogantly again. Joes thought to herself, but she did not know how urate her guess was. ¡°Sisi, I feel so much better seeing her like this.¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes narrowed into a thin line as she smiled. She actually did not hate Wei Ya that much, she was just helping Qiao si si. Joes was not stupid and naturally understood this, so she felt even more grateful towards Lin ya. The rtionship between the two of them had unknowingly pulled much closer. After the incident, thepany¡¯s colleagues were very serious about their work. During this time, neither assistant li nor President Xiang Jinyu appeared. This made Joes even more certain that something was wrong with thepany. ¡­¡­¡­ The next few days were as calm as ever. In the blink of an eye, Qiao si si had already been working at Jin Yupany for almost a week, maybe even a few more days. After work, Qiao sisi returned to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment as usual. She inserted the key into the keyhole and heard the sound of the lock opening. ¡°Mm ...¡± Joes furrowed her brows in confusion. She had not even turned the key, so why did the lock open? Before she could think of an answer, the apartment door was pulled open. A tall and stylish figure stood in front of joesse¡¯s chest, and the fragrance of body wash wafted into her nose, causing her to be stunned. Joes¡¯s hand was still holding the key, but her brain was working at full speed. The person in front of him was wearing a white bathrobe that was loosely worn on his body, revealing hisrge chest. He had an imposing aura. ¡°Zheng Zeyi? You¡¯re back?¡± Joes ¡®eyes widened and she quickly retracted her hand, trying to prevent him from seeing her embarrassed look. Unfortunately ... It seemed to be toote. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m back.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curved into a smile as he turned his body to the side, making room for one person to pass through. There was a white towel on his head, and his hair was wet. He was slowly wiping his hair with the White towel. Joes swallowed her saliva as her actions were pleasing to the eye. What are you thinking, Jossi! She wailed in her heart. How could a determined person be blinded by beauty? you have to hold on. Taking a deep breath, joesse calmed her emotions and strode into the room with her bag, trying to show that there was nothing unusual about her. Chapter 44

Chapter 44: An innocent little sheep

Unfortunately, Zheng ze noticed the slight blush on Qiao sisi¡¯s ears and his smile deepened. ¡°Bang!¡± As soon as Zheng ze closed the door, he let the White towel rest on his head and held joesse¡¯s hand with his slightly wet hand. ¡°Hey ... Where are you taking me?¡± Before Qiao si could return her bag to the room, she was pulled away by Zheng ze. Zheng ze led her to the kitchen. There was a food container that was tightly covered on the table in the kitchen, but the famished Jossi could already smell the fragrance that was wafting out from inside. ¡°Did you buy this for me?¡± Joes asked with uncertainty. Zheng Zeyiughed as if he was looking at a fool.¡±If it¡¯s not for you, is it for the ghost?¡± Too much! Joes pursed her lips. She was too hungry to retort. She opened the lunchbox, and the rich smell of food wafted out. It was so fragrant that joesse¡¯s saliva was about to flow out, and the hunger in her stomach intensified. ¡°Thank you!¡± Joes thanked him and picked up her chopsticks to start eating. After a long day of work, she was indeed a little hungry. Zheng Zeyi did not say a word. He just watched joesse eat from the side, making her feel a little awkward. ...... ¡°Why are you looking at me while I eat?¡± Joesse said with a muffled voice. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly.¡±I can ¡®t? This seems to be my house. ¡± Then, he looked around the house as if he was sure that this was his house. Joes could not be bothered to argue with him and ate her food inrge mouthfuls. When the food entered her stomach, she felt extremelyfortable. After about ten minutes, Joes finished all the food on the table and carried out her disc-shaped operation with her physical strength. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile when he saw her behaving like a satiated kitten after she had finished her meal. Little did he know that his smile had also attracted Joes ¡®attention. However, Joes only took one look before quickly looking away. She looked out of the window while covering her ears, as if nothing had happened. ¡°If you¡¯re done eating, then rest early.¡± After Zheng Zeyi finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave the kitchen when a hand suddenly grabbed him. As expected, it was Jossi. ¡°Give me a moment.¡± Joes hurriedly tidied up the mess on the table, then took out an exquisite gift box from her bag. Chen Anna¡¯s gift had already been ced at her best friend¡¯s house. Now ... All that was left was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gift. After taking a deep breath, joesse ced the gift box in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands. At the same time, she did not miss the surprise that shed across his eyes. ¡°This is a present for you, don¡¯t dislike it.¡± She smiled yfully. With that, she hurriedly ran back to her room. Zheng Zeyi held the gift in his hand and was slightly stunned. As he watched a certain someone leave, his smile deepened. He did not expect that Joes would give him a present. When he opened the exquisite gift box, he saw a ck tie with a simple design. It wasn¡¯t expensive, but he could feel the sincerity from it. Zheng ze closed the box and returned to his room in a good mood. On the other hand, Joris did not look nervous at all. In reality, she had only vented her emotions after returning to her room. Shey on the bed and covered her face with a pillow. After a long time, she felt the heat on her face dissipate. ¡°Phew ...¡± He couldn¡¯t think about it anymore. Joesse took a deep breath, her eyes were filled with determination, and she threw Zheng Zeyi out of her mind. He then resigned himself to his fate and got up from the bed. Sitting on the bed, he took out the book that Zheng Zeyi had given him. This book was of great help. She had been reading it for the past few days and gained a lot of knowledge. There was a cup of tea on the table by the bed. Joes was reading a book while drinking tea, looking rxed and peaceful. ¡­¡­¡­ In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Zheng Zeyi had not gone out for the past few days, and joesse could see him at home as soon as she got off work. Joesse¡¯s life was also a three-point line, until one day, something happened. ¡°What?¡± Joes suddenly stood up from the sofa and widened her eyes, her eyes filled with shock. Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, sat firmly on the high tform with a calm expression. ¡°No, I¡¯m not going. Don¡¯t try to persuade me.¡± Qiao si paced back and forth on the spot. The more she thought about it, the more incredulous she felt. She rejected Zheng Zeyi sternly. Zheng Zeyi nced at a certain petite woman who was starting to panic and said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to think so much. My Grandpa just wants to see what kind of granddaughter-inw I¡¯ve chosen for him.¡± Joesse pursed her lips, calmed her emotions, and sat back on the sofa. She began to think about what Zheng Zeyi had said today. Yes, granddaughter-inw ... Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather¡¯s 70th birthday was going to be held at a banquet. Some people were invited to attend, and her fake fianc¨¦e was specifically mentioned. That was why Zheng Zeyi had brought this up the moment she returned from work. ¡°At the banquet ... Yang Yue Yue is also there.¡± As Zheng Zeyi spoke slowly, he came across a name. Although there was no reaction on Qiao SI¡¯s face, she remembered it in her heart. She had pretended to be fianc¨¦e to anger Yang Yue Yue. But now, why did she feel that something was getting more and more wrong? ¡°If you don¡¯t go, my grandfather will probably guess something.¡± Zheng ze raised his brows and said with a hint of a smile. After pondering for a while, Joes changed her decision.¡±¡±I can go, but since we¡¯re pretending to be fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e, how are you going to exin itter?¡± Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze and said nonchntly,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡± Seeing that Zheng Zeyi had already said so, Qiao sisi had no reason to object. After all, she was not at a disadvantage. The banquet was set for the next night, and almost everyone who attended had received an invitation. That included Yang Yue Yue. As Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin, she had to attend such a big event. The next day, Zheng Zeyi brought joesse to a high-end custom-made clothing store. There was a wide variety of clothing in the store, and they were all custom-made, which meant that there was only one piece of clothing in this world. As soon as they entered the store, Zheng Zeyi sat on the leather sofa and said to the staff,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to let her try on the evening gown that I orderedst time.¡± ¡°Yes, customer.¡± The shop assistant went to get the clothes after hearing that. On the other hand, Jossi was a little surprised and could not help but ask,¡±¡±When did you get me a custom-made evening gown?¡± How did she not know? Zheng Zeyi nced at her and smiled.¡±¡±It¡¯s normal that you don¡¯t know. ¡± Joes was unable to refute. After thinking about it, he felt relieved. Zheng Zeyi, the ck-bellied man, had probably already nned this and was prepared for it. And she was like an innocent littlemb, falling into the trap just like that. Chapter 45

Chapter 45: You are my fianc¨¦e

At the thought of this, Joes could not help but sigh, feeling sorry for herself. It didn¡¯t take long for the shop assistant to bring the evening gown out. The evening gown was sparkling under the light. Joes was slightly stunned. This evening gown was really beautiful. It was a strapless evening gown. The evening gown was dark blue, like the color of the night sky, and the sides of the dress had a little silver glow, like the stars in the night sky. ¡°Customer, pleasee here to try on the clothes.¡± The shop assistant said very respectfully. In a daze, Joes was brought away by the shop assistant and got this evening gown in the fitting room. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She was dazzled by the beauty of the evening dress. The side of the dress reached her calf, and there was a pair of custom-made high heels. The heels weren¡¯t high, only four or five centimeters, and they went with the evening dress. The most important thing was that this clothing store also provided a makeup service. Joes was brought to the dressing table, and the staff became a makeup artist, holding all kinds of cosmetics and starting to show off their skills. The shop assistant and makeup artist had permed Joes¡¯s originally straight hair into curly hair, which looked extremely fitting. After Qiao si finished dressing up, she stood in front of Zheng Zeyi. He was stunned for a while. Joes could not help butugh and said,¡±¡±Is it good?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng ze snapped back to his senses, but he was very satisfied with the outfit.¡±¡±Not bad.¡± ...... It was just not bad, not a betterpliment. Qiao si knew Zheng Zeyi¡¯s character. She was slightly satisfied when she heard that it was not bad. The two of them went to the banquet hall together. It was already evening and the sky was gradually getting dark. The banquet hall was in the main hall of a hotel owned exclusively by the Zheng family. The entrance was covered with ayer of red carpet, and two carefully cut green nts were ced on the two sides, emitting a faint fragrance. When Jossi and Zheng ze arrived at the banquet hall, there were not many people there yet, so they met old master Zheng very smoothly. Old master Zheng was 70 years old, but he was still strong. When he saw Joes, he smiled kindly. Qiao SI¡¯s heart moved slightly. She had just met Zheng Zeyi and she already had a good impression of his grandfather. ¡°This must be ... My granddaughter-inw?¡± Old master Zheng said with a smile. Seeing the two of them standing together, he felt that they were a perfect match. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was calm as he looked at joesse. After a while, he said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, Grandpa. She¡¯s my fianc¨¦e.¡± Thest three words were spoken with emphasis. Old master Zheng might not have heard it due to his old age, but joesse had heard it clearly. She understood what Zheng Zeyi meant. She took a step forward and ced the gift she had prepared beside old master Zheng. She smiled sweetly and said,¡±¡±Hello, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯m Jossi.¡± Old master Zheng was satisfied with her polite manner. ¡°My grandson has finally found me a cute granddaughter-inw after all these years.¡± Old master Zheng was really satisfied with Jossi no matter how he looked at her. He waved his hand and ordered a servant to bring a box. ¡°Child, this is the Zheng family¡¯s exclusive jade bangle for their daughter-inw. Zeyi¡¯s mother ... It¡¯s fine if I don¡¯t mention it, so I¡¯ll give you this bangle.¡± Old master Zheng said. When the box was opened, joesse saw an exquisitely made jade bangle surrounded by emerald green lying quietly in the middle. This ... Joes ¡®eyes widened and she quickly waved her hands,¡±Grandpa Zheng, this is too valuable. I can¡¯t take it. ¡± This jade bangle was worth a lot at first nce. It was even more precious than the bangle he had seen at thest auction. Even as a family heirloom, it was more than enough. Moreover, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were pretending to be fianc¨¦ and fianc¨¦e, so how could she take the bracelet that was passed down to their daughter-inw? He couldn¡¯t get over it emotionally either. Joes shook her head like a rattle and even took a few steps back, moving further away from the Jade bangle. Old master Zheng had been a Big Shot in the business world when he was young, so he naturally had the ability to read people. He could tell that Joes was not lying. She really thought that it was too expensive and that she could not ept it. It seemed that his grandson had good taste. Old master Zheng looked at Zheng Zeyi, who was standing at the side and watching the show, and snorted. He had only brought back a granddaughter-inw after so long, so there was no need to be nice. ¡°Child, take this. Since you¡¯re Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, you have the right to take this bangle.¡± Old master Zheng said firmly. However, Joes shook her head firmly.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, Grandpa Zheng, I really can¡¯t take it. ¡± Seeing how determined she was, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t force her. He sighed slightly and felt a little conflicted. He knew that his grandson would not call someone his fianc¨¦e unless he had already decided on her. The first one was Jossi. Without waiting for old master Zheng to do anything, Zheng ze took out the Jade bangle and put it on joesse¡¯s wrist without any exnation. By the time Joes reacted and struggled, it was already toote. The Jade bangle had already been put on her wrist. ¡°Zheng Zeyi! What are you doing?¡± Qiao si si was a little angry and could not help but look at Zheng Zeyi. She reached out to pull at the bangle, but she couldn¡¯t take it off. After pulling for a while, her fair hand was slightly red. Seeing this, Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened. He pulled Joes and took a few steps back, but his hand was still on her hand. ¡°You ...¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a frown. His aura was a little strong. Qiao sisi wanted to continue speaking, but Zheng Zeyi suddenly took out an ointment and applied it on the back of her reddened hand gently. There was a slight chill on the back of his hand. It was a little painful just now, but after applying the ointment, he immediately felt much better. A strange feeling welled up in his heart. ¡°Why did you put the bangle on my finger?¡± joesse asked, pursing her lips. She did not have time to react at all. Old master Zheng probably did not expect Zheng ze to do this. It was too unexpected. ¡°You¡¯re my fianc¨¦e, so you have the right to wear this bangle. ¡± Zheng ze said without looking up, repeating old master Zheng¡¯s words. ¡°But you know that we ...¡± Joes argued. ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Zheng ze let go of joesse¡¯s hand after he was done applying the ointment. ¡°Don¡¯t do this next time. ¡± The warm touch on the back of her hand disappeared and Joes retracted her hand, not in a hurry to remove the bangle. From a distance, old master Zheng smiled as he watched the two of them interact. After so many years, this was the first time he had seen his grandson treat a girl so well. It seemed that it was this girl. Joes still did not know that she had already been acknowledged by old master Zheng as his granddaughter-inw. Otherwise, she did not know what kind of expression she would have on her face. Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 cousin-inw?

¡°Then this bangle ... What do we do with it?¡± Joes took a look at the Jade bangle on her wrist, not a trace of greed in her heart. Zheng Zeyi did not seem to be in a good mood.¡±Take it with you for now. You can take it off when you don¡¯t need this identity anymore. If you take it off now, you¡¯ll only arouse grandfather¡¯s suspicion.¡± These words did make some sense. Qiao si si pondered for a while, and when she thought of Yang Yue Yue who would be attending the banquetter, she gritted her teeth and agreed. ¡°Okay, but I¡¯ll definitely return the Jade bangle to you after this matter is over.¡± His tone carried a hint of confidence. This was not what Zheng Zeyi wanted to hear, but things had to be done step by step. His eyes shed, and he nodded while leaning on the table. When the two of them stopped talking, old master Zheng, who was not far away, teased,¡±¡±Have you two finished whispering?¡± Jossi already had a sense of familiarity with old master Zheng, so when she heard this, she said embarrassedly,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, we¡¯re just discussing.¡± Joes thought to herself as she discussed how the fake fianc¨¦e would handle the bangle. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go together. The banquet is about to start.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s face was full of smiles. After he finished speaking, he stood up with the help of his walking stick and walked towards the banquet hall. Joes quickly went up to help him up, worried that the old man would fall. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi felt that he finally had something to do after such a long day. He turned and left the room. He was walking in a different direction from the two of them, but Joes did not mind. She helped old man Zheng to the banquet hall. ...... It was already seven in the evening. The banquet hall was brightly lit, and most of the people had already arrived, wearing expensive evening dresses and suits. Joes took a nce and had an idea. If there were no idents, these were all business tycoons, or people from prestigious families, and so on. They were all some famous people. The entire banquet hall was filled with people. Fortunately, the banquet hall wasrge and did not seem crowded. Through the crowd, joesse could see yang Yueyue standing at the front, dressed in a fiery red, knee-length evening gown. She was quite well-picked, at least it would make her skin look fairer. Joes looked away after a nce and helped old master Zheng into the banquet hall. The two of them attracted many gazes the moment they entered. Apart from the joy of seeing old master Zheng, he was also puzzled to see her standing next to him. Only Yang Yue Yue, who was holding a ss of red wine, was so shocked that she almost dropped her ss the moment she saw joesse. Why was this B * tch here? Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred as she recalled Qiao si, who was said to be her cousin¡¯s fianc¨¦e, causing trouble at her birthday party. Was his cousin blind? He had chosen this B * tch as his fianc¨¦e. Yang Yue Yue was filled with hatred, but she only thought about it in her heart. If she dared to say it out loud, Zheng Zeyi would probably not let her off. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Jossi and old master Zheng walked onto the stage together. There was a prepared microphone on the stage. Old man Zheng picked up the microphone and said,¡±¡±I wee everyone to my birthday banquet. The banquet will now officially begin. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony.¡± After that, everyone in the audience raised their sses to congratte him. As for the birthday gifts prepared by these people, there were already people in charge of managing them, and they were all ced in a corner of the stage. It looked like a huge pile of gifts. Jossi was sure that no one present would give her any ordinary gifts. Except for her. There was nothing she could do about it. Joes was not rich, so she only picked a ginseng that was considered good. It was not very expensive, but it was a token of her appreciation. He hoped that old master Zheng wouldn¡¯t mind it when he saw itter. After the banquet started, old master Zheng took his seat. Even though Joes was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e on the surface, she was still a junior. In addition, Zheng Zeyi was nowhere to be found, so he could only sit at the same table as Yang Yue Yue and the others. The table was filled with delicious food. Joes ¡®eyes lit up as she looked at Yang Yue Yue, who seemed to be ready to court death. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the fish. Yang Yue Yue saw that her chance hade. She took a sip of red wine and said with a hint of mockery,¡±¡±No one has even touched their chopsticks, and someone has already started.¡± His words attracted the attention of everyone at the table. If Qiao si si was afraid of Yang Yue Yue, she could have changed her name. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Yang Yue Yue with a smile.¡±¡±It seems like ... You didn¡¯t hear Grandpa Zheng say that the banquet has started.¡± ¡°Even if the banquet starts, you shouldn¡¯t be the first to eat.¡± Yang Yue Yue squinted her eyes to hide the hatred in her eyes. Joes nodded her head in understanding and did not mind. After a while, she could not help but ask,¡±¡±If I don¡¯t move, who will move first? you?¡± ¡°You!¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes widened, not knowing how to retort. There was a chuckle at the table, and many people couldn¡¯t help butugh. This was unbearable for Yang Yue Yue. Before Yang Yue Yue could speak, Qiao si si covered her mouth,¡±¡±Also, Yang Yue Yue, I¡¯m your cousin¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Shouldn¡¯t you call me ... Cousin-inw?¡± There was a smile in Joes¡¯s eyes. Coupled with the evening gown that entuated her snow-white skin and her permed hair, it was as if she was emitting a faint glow. Many people at the table were amazed and eximed that young master Zheng was really good at picking women. If Joes could hear their inner thoughts, her expression would probably not be so calm. ¡°Cousin-inw?¡± Yang Yue Yue asked in return, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. She ced the wine ss on the table with great force, and a loud sound was heard. A momentter, she sneered and said,¡±¡±Who knows what method you used to make my cousin like you, cousin-inw? You think you¡¯re worthy?¡± His mocking intent was obvious. Even a fool could see the tit-for-tat atmosphere between the two people, let alone this table of shrewd people. The people at this table were about the same age as Qiao sisi and Yang Yue Yue, and they were all children of prestigious families. At this moment, a person sitting next to Yang Yue Yue could not help but ask,¡±¡±Yang Yue Yue, what you¡¯re saying ... What do you mean?¡± She could tell that this person was just purely curious. Yang Yue Yue snorted and pointed at Qiao si si,¡±¡±This woman¡¯s methods are very brilliant. She¡¯s just amoner. Who knows what sinister means she used to make my cousin like her?¡± ¡°Commoners?!¡± Many people at the table eximed in surprise, and the way they looked at Jossi changed. The Zheng family was not an ordinary family. It was a leading family in the business world. As the eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Zeyi was definitely going to inherit the family business. She didn¡¯t expect a man like him to fall for amoner. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible. Chapter 47

Chapter 47: What¡¯s the difference between being a kept woman and being a mistress?

Seeing that the trend of public opinion was being controlled by Yang Yue Yue, joesse frowned, feeling that things were going in a bad direction. A momentter, she squinted her eyes and sneered,¡±¡±Yang Yue Yue, you said methods? You can ask your cousin what I did to make him like me. ¡± ¡°My cousin, he ...¡± Yang Yue Yue was about to retort when she scanned the crowd, but Zheng Zeyi was nowhere to be seen. After recovering from his daze, he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and red at Joes with eyes filled with hatred. ¡°You¡¯re looking at me like this?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and could not help butugh. She raised her ss of red wine and shook it slightly. She had an elegant demeanor and looked like ady from a wealthy family. The other people at the table couldn¡¯t help but have the same thought,paring the two people who were arguing. They really did not see Yang Yue Yue¡¯s demeanour as ady from a noble family. Instead, joesse looked more like a noble child who had received higher education. Of course ... If he said that, Yang Yue Yue would hate him. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s fair hands clenched tightly into fists and she hid them under the table. She almost lost control and charged towards Qiao si si, but she managed to hold it in. ¡°You B * tch ...¡± Before she could finish, Joes interrupted,¡±¡±Have your manners gone to the dogs? I¡¯m your cousin-inw. Please show some respect!¡± After saying that, Joes¡¯s aura changed a lot. It instantly became a little sharp and a little more decisive. ...... ¡­¡­¡­ In the huge banquet hall, the hanging chandeliers emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the hall. The hall was lively and harmonious. If one excluded a certain table of young people. ¡°Yang Yue Yue, your cousin-inw doesn¡¯t look simple.¡± The person in front of Yang Yue Yue put down his wine ss and couldn¡¯t help butugh. She watched the two of them go head to head with great interest, and even the delicious food on the table was a little dull. Upon hearing this, joesse¡¯s gaze fell on the woman. She was dressed in a white evening gown and had a pretty face. She was a few levels higher than Yang Yue Yue, and it was obvious that she came from a good family. Joes looked away after she finished reading. She did not know this woman, but Yang Yue Yue should know. As expected, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s attention shifted in the next second.¡±¡±Wenxuan, you don¡¯t need to say anything.¡± ¡°Ha.¡± The woman called Wen Xuan chuckled and didn¡¯t care about her rudeness. She gently shook a ss of red wine. The young people at the table seemed to have found some fun, and they didn¡¯t even touch the food on the table. Joes was feeling a little hungry, and she did not want to deal with these people. She just wanted to have a quiet meal and go home. As soon as he picked up his chopsticks, the turntable in front of him started spinning. It was a familiar childish method, and he didn¡¯t even need to look to know who it was. With a strange look in her eyes, Joes put down her chopsticks and looked at Yang Yue Yue. Perhaps it was because she was a little angry, but her eyes looked extremely intimidating. Even Yang Yue Yue, who hated her to the core, was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to react. Aftering back to her senses, Yang Yue Yue gritted her teeth. How embarrassing. She had actually been scared stiff by this B * tch. After a while, Yang Yue Yue calmed down and let out a breath. Her face was not as twisted as before. Joes was a little curious as to what this delicatedy was up to this time. Hence, she cooperatively picked up her chopsticks and prepared to pick up some food. ¡°Jossi.¡± Yang Yue Yue actually gave Joes a smile that seemed to be filled with kindness. Even the others were shocked, let alone Joes. The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She picked up a piece of meat and ced it on the White te in front of her. The te was stained with some oil. This piece of red braised meat was cooked just right. Before eating it, he knew that it must be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was very delicious. Just as he was about to eat it, Yang Yue Yue finally couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Jossi, you¡¯ve probably never eaten these before, right? eat more.¡± After saying that, he ced the te with the oysters and other ingredients in front of joesse. This time, Jossi finally understood what she meant. She just wanted everyone to know her background. So what if they weremoners? if every noble child was like Yang Yue Yue, how could they be considered nobles to outsiders? Moreover, Yang Yue Yue was indeed quite interesting. Even if she was in disguise, she would not be able to call her cousin-inw. However, it was a bit of a fantasy to think that he could embarrass her in such a childish way. ¡°I¡¯m a little angry. If you had called me cousin-inw, I might have answered your question. ¡± Joes said in an extremely difficult tone. Yang Yue Yue gripped her chopsticks tightly. She had wanted to say something, but after hearing this, she was no longer willing to pretend. ¡°Since you haven¡¯t eaten it before, just tell the truth. Everyone here knows that you¡¯re just amoner.¡± Yang Yue Yue gave up on her disguise and said directly. ¡°Oh ... I see,¡± Joes nodded in understanding and did not continue to argue. Instead, she lowered her head and ate the red braised meat on her te. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy. He was indeed a senior chef. After joesse¡¯s taste buds were healed, she swallowed the red braised pork and decided to kindly not embarrass Yang Yue Yue. Hence, she said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve eaten all of them. Your cousin has taken me to eat all of them. ¡± Yang Yue Yue was speechless. She had a mocking smile on her face just now, but now her smile began to crack. Zheng Zeyi was such a good g, how could he not pull it down? Qiao si si thought that her intelligence was not bad. If Yang Yue Yue did not use those disgusting tricks to backstab people, she would deal with them as they came. ¡°You have nothing to say?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were as big as copper bells. Hearing this sentence, she was even more agitated. She couldn¡¯t help but blurt out,¡±¡±What¡¯s the difference between you being a kept woman and being like this?¡± Perhaps he didn¡¯t control his voice well, but his words attracted the attention of many business big shots at the other tables. Even old master Zheng put down his chopsticks and looked at joesse and the others. Realizing that she had caused trouble, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face turned pale in an instant. She lowered her head slightly, but her heart was filled with hatred. Sisi, what happened?¡± Old master Zheng frowned and couldn¡¯t help but say. The way he addressed Jossi was also very intimate. Many of the big bosses in the business world had noticed this. It seemed that old master Zheng did not have any opinions about this granddaughter-inw. Everyone¡¯s eyes flickered as they looked at Joes curiously. They wanted to see what kind of woman she was to be acknowledged by such a picky person like old master Zheng. When they saw the well-dressed jos¨¦ with exquisite facial features, these people felt at ease. From her dressing, she seemed to be from an influential family, but they had never seen her before. Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Seeing everyone¡¯s intentions

Could it be some small, unknown family? Many people had doubts in their hearts. Joes did not know what these people were thinking. After hearing old man Zheng¡¯s question, she revealed what she thought was a sweet smile. ¡°Grandpa Zheng,¡± a clear voice said,¡±nothing happened. It¡¯s just that this cousin ... Has spoken a little too much.¡± Cousin, who else could it be other than Yang Yue Yue? Joes had exposed her to everyone, including old master Zheng. However, other than a few words of criticism, she did not criticize her. It was just right. ¡°You¡¯re her elder. If she¡¯s in the wrong, you can just criticize her. Let¡¯s continue.¡± After old master Zheng said that, he didn¡¯t look at the table anymore. Since the main character of the banquet had spoken, the other business leaders also looked away. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression was a little ugly. She felt that everyone at the table was looking at her with a strange gaze, and this was not an illusion. Wen Xuan, who didn¡¯t get along with her, smiled and said,¡±¡±Yang Yue Yue, you¡¯ve been defeated?¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Yang Yueyue red at Wen Xuan. Wen Xuan shrugged, but the smile on her face was cold. Wen Xuan was not afraid of Yang Yue Yue since they were both from noble families. Moreover, she was only Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin. If Zheng Zeyi was here, she might have to think twice. What was there to be arrogant about with just Yang Yue Yue? ...... Qiao si si looked at Yang Yue Yue coldly and said,¡±¡±Cousin, you should have heard what Grandpa Zheng said. Be good. This is his birthday banquet.¡± Joes did not finish her sentence. If Yang Yue Yue dared to cause trouble at old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet ... She would definitely not have a good ending. Although Yang Yue Yue was resentful, old master Zheng had already spoken, so she could only bear the pain. ¡°Jossi, just you wait!¡± Yang Yue Yue said viciously. Joes nodded and agreed to this condition,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll wait and see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.¡± The two of them looked at each other, and the air was filled with tension. Fortunately, old master Zheng¡¯s words were effective. After he said that, Yang Yue Yue didn¡¯t dare to say anything else. She silently drank her red wine to calm her anger. Without a fly buzzing around her ear, joesse was even more carefree. Her te was filled with many exquisite-looking delicacies. While she was eating, the banquet hall¡¯s door was suddenly pushed open. Three people walked in, and Joes recognized one of them with a single nce. Zheng Zeyi, who had just left, had already changed into a custom-made ck suit. He had a tall and straight figure, like a pine tree, and his face was even more handsome. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many youngdies. However, Qiao si frowned because Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was extremely gloomy and he did not seem to be in a good mood. Could something have happened? Unfortunately, she did not know the answer. Zheng Zeyi took the lead and walked into the banquet hall. Behind him stood a middle-aged man in a suit and a woman in an evening gown who did not look young. If she was not mistaken, they should be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s parents. Joes had already made this guess, but that woman did not look like Zheng Zeyi at all. He did not exude any of Zheng ze¡¯s intimidating aura. Instead, he seemed petty. She wondered if she was the only one who felt that way. After taking a few nces, Qiao Si was about to continue eating when she realized that Zheng Zeyi was walking towards their table. Finally, he stood behind Qiao si. Coincidentally, there was an empty seat beside her, so Zheng Zeyi sat down beside her. The young people at the table were silent and kept their mouths shut, no longer looking like they were watching a good show. Inparison, Zheng Zeyi was definitely at the top of his peers and wasmonly known as a business genius. ¡°Where did you go just now?¡± Joes leaned in closer and asked softly. Zheng ze pursed his lips, and the air around him was extremely cold. Naturally, joesse also noticed this and was even more curious. However, it seemed like he had no intention of exining, so Joes did not continue asking. At this time, a slightly hoarse male voice sounded in the hall, and everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the stage. It was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father, Zheng lihan, who was speaking into the microphone from the back. Beside him was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stepmother, who had dressed up carefully, Qianqian, Ma Shan. ¡°Wee, distinguished guests, to my father¡¯s 70th birthday. All of you are respected figures in the business world. It¡¯s an honor to have you here.¡± With that, Zheng lihan could not help but smile, and there was sparse apuse from the audience. Joesse¡¯s sharp eyes caught sight of old master Zheng, who had been chatting with others just a moment ago. At this moment, his expression was exactly the same as Zheng ze ¡®s, so dark that it seemed like water could drip out. As expected of a family, it was as if they were carved out of the same mold. Joes sized up the two of them and could not help butugh. At the same time, she realized that old master Zheng did not seem to like the woman standing beside Zheng lihan. Looking at the woman in gorgeous clothes, Joes frowned slightly, also sensing that something was not right. If both old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi did not like it ... Joesse had a guess in her heart, but she kept it to herself. She would wait until there was no one around to ask Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, are you alright?¡± Joes asked with a little worry, not caring about the situation on the stage. After Zheng ze¡¯s arrival, the young people at the table became much quieter, including the arrogant Yang Yue Yue. She did not dare to say a word. She would only secretly nce at Joes from time to time, but she did not mind such petty actions. Zheng ze¡¯s well-defined handnded on the side of the ss of red wine. His eyes were cold, and the pressure was so low that it made one shiver. Joes shook her head and chased away the strange look on her face. She just stared at the person beside her. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡±he finally said after a long time. It was just three short words, but Qiao si heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that everything was fine. The person on stage was probably not Zheng Zeyi¡¯s birth mother. Otherwise, Zheng Zeyi and old master Zheng would not have disliked this woman so much. However, they did not know what had happened. Suppressing the thousands of thoughts in her mind, Jessi looked at Zheng lihan on the stage as he spoke word by word. The atmosphere in the hall also became much more lively. Zheng lihan then pointed at the birthday gifts that the people behind him had brought. They almost piled up into a small mountain and said,¡±In a moment, I will open up these birthday gifts so that father can see everyone¡¯s intentions.¡± Upon hearing this, the crowd¡¯s reaction grew. These people naturally picked out the best gifts for old master Zheng¡¯s birthday. If they opened them on the spot, they might be able to gain some face. Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Quickly let go of me

Only Joes was stunned and did not say a word. She did not expect things to turn out this way. She did not give anything particrly expensive, only a ginseng that cost a few thousand dors. Although to her, this was not cheap. There was not much left in the card that originally had 40000 to 50000 Yuan in it. Joes still had to make a living, so she naturally could not spend money extravagantly. Forget it, so be it if it¡¯s embarrassing. In any case, I don¡¯t have the intention of puffing up my own face. ¡°Sigh ...¡± She sighed helplessly. Zheng ze noticed it and nced at the birthday gift on the stage. When he saw the helpless look on the kitten¡¯s face, the pressure around him was finally lifted. Jossi seemed to always be able to bring him a good mood. Zheng ze picked up the ss of red wine and took a sip, his brows rxing. After Zheng lihan finished speaking, he brought Ma Shan, who was beside him, to take a seat. Due to their seniority, they were fortunately not seated at old master Zheng¡¯s table. Otherwise, old master Zheng would probably not be in the mood to eat when he saw Ma Shan. Joes blinked her eyes and was about to pick up her chopsticks when someone from their table suddenly stood up with a ss of red wine. It was Wen Xuan. She raised her ss of red wine with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said to Zheng Zeyi with a little admiration,¡±¡±Young master Zheng, long time no see.¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyes slightly and nced at them. He was not in a good mood right now, so he did not want to deal with these people. ...... Wen Xuan seemed to be a little embarrassed when she saw what he meant. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi patted Qiao sisi¡¯s hand in private. ¡°What are you doing? ¡°Joes asked with a dumbfounded expression. However, her voice was very soft. Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and raised his chin, signaling for joesse to drink on his behalf. ¡°That¡¯s wishful thinking ...¡± Qiao si pursed her lips, but that warm palm suddenly covered her waist. Zheng Zeyi, that bastard! Use underhanded means! Sensing that the hand was starting to get restless, joesse finally gave in and agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s request. After a moment, she stood up with a ss of red wine in her hand. She smiled and said politely,¡±¡±Miss Wen, he¡¯s not feeling well, so I¡¯ll drink this ss of wine on his behalf.¡± Wen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and clinked her ss with Qiao sisi in the air. ¡°Bang!¡± The crisp sound of sses clinking rang out, and the two of them drank the red wine in their sses in one go, not leaving a single drop. Wen Xuan couldn¡¯t help but have a good impression of the girl in front of her. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Young master Zheng, you really have good taste. Miss Qiao has a good tolerance for alcohol.¡± ¡°Miss Wen, you¡¯re too kind, you too.¡± Joes replied without losing out. The two of them went back and forth, as if they were ying Tai Chi, but there was no hostility between them. They were just simply greeting each other. With Wen Xuan¡¯s lead, many people stood up to toast Zheng ze, but they were all stopped by Qiao si. Yang Yue Yue was the only one who did not dare to stand up and make a toast. She was a little afraid of Zheng Zeyi and did not dare to y any tricks in this situation. She tried her best to minimize her presence as she sipped her red wine alone. However, the hatred in her eyes was undisguisable as she looked at Joes. That B * tch Joes! She would not let her off! Yang Yue Yue thought to herself as she gripped the wine ss so tightly that her knuckles turned white. After a few sses of red wine, Qiao Si was also slightly tipsy. Her face was flushed red, and Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Is it okay now?¡± Qiao si si red at Zheng Zeyi. Perhaps it was because she had drunk red wine, but her eyes were flirtatious. She had no idea how alluring she looked to Zheng ze. However, since they were in public, Zheng Zeyi did not do anything. He only put his hand around Qiao sisi¡¯s slender waist and leaned close to her ear, breathing hot air. ¡°Baby, you¡¯ve done well.¡± His maic voice seemed to carry an electric current, moving people¡¯s hearts. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile deepened as he tightened his grip on her waist and sniffed the fresh scent on her body. It wasn¡¯t like no one had noticed the ambiguous interaction between the two of them. For example, old master Zheng had seen it all. He was smiling so widely that his eyes had be slits. ¡°Elder Zheng, what are youughing at?¡± Grandpa Qin, who was sitting at old master Zheng¡¯s table, said. His tone was extremely impolite, but one could tell that he had known old master Zheng for many years. Before old master Zheng had taken over the Zheng¡¯s enterprise, he had been in the military with a few brothers who were also from aristocratic families. This man was one of them. Old master Zheng waved his hand and said,¡±¡±Old Qin, you probably don¡¯t understand the feeling of your grandson, Sun Cheng¡¯s family. After all, your grandson is single.¡± ¡°Elder Zheng, I don¡¯t like what you¡¯re saying.¡± Grandpa Qin nced at Zheng Zeyi and the other two before looking away unhappily. He also had three sons, but they were all one-track minded and had not found a girlfriend yet. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi had already reached the stage of fianc¨¦e. How could they bepared? The conversation between the two made the other people at the same tableugh. They were all old master Zheng¡¯s good friends who had been specially invited to the birthday banquet. In fact, he was showing off that his grandson had a fianc¨¦e. ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant, old Zheng. My grandson is not any worse than your grandson. You¡¯re just his fianc¨¦e. Just wait and see.¡± At this time, another old man said unwillingly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Elder Zheng, don¡¯t be too smug. Look at how smug you are.¡± Old master Zheng took the words of these grandpas as envy. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He felt that the tea was much more fragrant. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Joses ¡®alcohol tolerance was not considered good. After drinking so much red wine, her head was a little dizzy. She picked up the ss of water on the table and poured herself a cup. She only felt much better after drinking it in one go. Feeling the hand on her waist, joesse¡¯s face turned even redder. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, let me go.¡± Joes said softly. She wanted to struggle, but she was afraid that someone would see her. That would only make things more embarrassing. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyi hugged her even tighter, and the two of them were almost stuck together. Naturally, someone noticed such an intimate contact, but they didn¡¯t dare to make a sound and pretended not to see it. Sensing the strange gazes from her side, Joes wished she could find a hole to hide in. She quickly said to Zheng Zeyi, who refused to let go,¡±¡±I helped you drink just now. No matter what, I did you a favor.¡± Her watery eyes were pleading. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and decided not to tease her anymore. Thus, she let go of her hands. Feeling that the restraint on her waist was gone, Joes instantly heaved a sigh of relief. She didn¡¯t want to be surrounded in public. There were already many empty wine bottles on the table. They were all red wine bottles that everyone drank from. Even joesse had two empty bottles in front of her. Chapter 50 - Fortunately, I still have a grandson

Chapter 50: Fortunately, I still have a grandson

¡°Ah, your alcohol tolerance has improved.¡± Joes could not help but sigh. She recalled thest time she drank ... Wait a minute! Recalling the consequences of drinking thest time, joesse¡¯s smile disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared. She nced at Zheng Zeyi beside her and lowered her head slightly. When this dangerous person was around, she could not get drunk! Joesse said to herself in her heart. Her inner thoughts were full of drama, and the changing expressions on her face were noticed by Zheng Zeyi. He could not help but ask,¡±What are you thinking about?¡± Joes, who was lost in her thoughts, came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head.¡±Nothing. I¡¯m not thinking about anything.¡± The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became heated, and the crisp sound of sses clinking could be heard constantly. If all the red wine bottles were ced together, they might fill up several boxes. Joesse heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one continued to toast her or Zheng ze. Otherwise, she would not have been able to hold on. At this moment, the person beside him stood up, causing a gentle breeze to blow. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Qiao si smacked her face and looked at Zheng Zeyi, who was getting up to leave, in shock. Zheng ze left without looking back. His slightly smiling voice was not drowned out by the noise in the banquet hall. ¡°I¡¯m going to the rooftop to get some fresh air. ¡± The rooftop ... ...... Joes¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she no longer hesitated. She quickly stood up and jogged over, saying,¡±¡±Wait for me, I¡¯ll go too.¡± The rooftop was only a few floors away from the banquet hall. The two of them climbed the stairs and arrived at the rooftop in a few minutes. The night was as dark as ink, the stars outlined the night sky, the night breeze was slightly cool, blowing in the face, making people feel refreshed. In an instant, joesse felt her tipsy feeling dissipate. This was indeed a good ce. Zheng ze had one hand on the railing of the rooftop as he looked at the night view outside. Joesse was slightly moved by this and stood beside him. ¡°You ... Are you very unhappy?¡± Qiao si said hesitantly. She did not know if her words would make Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mood worse. Fortunately, her thoughts didn¡¯te true. Zheng Zeyi turned around and nced at her. He pursed his thin lips and said with a smile,¡±¡±How did you know I was unhappy? A treasure?¡± Jossi thought,¡¯he¡¯s starting to be naughty again.¡¯ ¡°Be serious, I¡¯m being serious. That woman isn¡¯t your mother, is she?¡± he asked. Joes lowered her gaze, feeling a little apprehensive. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile gradually disappeared, and he turned his gaze back to the night scene. Just when Jossi thought that he would not reply, a familiar maic voice rang in her ears. ¡°No.¡± It was a short sentence, only two words, but Joes felt that she had heard a lot of stories. She was starting to regret asking this question. She quickly patted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think too much. I was just speaking without thinking. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi turned around in confusion.¡±¡±What are you thinking about?¡± He didn¡¯t have the intention to overthink it. Joes¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air, not knowing whether to withdraw or not. She had an embarrassed smile on her face. After retracting her hand, joesse did not say anything else. She quietly leaned against the railing and enjoyed the cool night breeze. Her mood had calmed down quite a bit. Suddenly, a hand was ced on the top of her head. She didn¡¯t even need to think to know who it was. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing?¡± Just as joesse was about to remove Zheng ze¡¯s hand from her head, she was stopped. ¡°Wait,¡± His voice was as light as a feather. Joes was stunned for a moment, then that hand started to ruffle her hair, and it was ruffled into a mess in no time. ¡°Do you have nothing to do?¡± Qiao SI¡¯s face was as ck as charcoal. She shook off Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and tidied her hair. Before she could react, the hand covered the back of her head and brought her into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arms. ¡°You ...¡± Jossi blushed as she felt the warm breath on her face. She was about to speak when her thin lips covered hers. Feeling the softness on her lips, joesse¡¯s mind exploded. She could not react at all, and her eyes widened in shock. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Zheng Zeyi charged in without hesitation. Under the beautiful night sky, on the huge rooftop, the two of them were like the most intimate couple, their bodies pressed together without a gap. After the kiss, Joes was already panting. ¡°Phew ...¡± The moment she was released, Joes panted heavily as she walked out, feeling as if she had been revived. Zheng Zeyi wiped the corner of his mouth seductively and smiled devilishly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you know how to breathe when you kiss?¡± ¡°You ... Are you a hooligan?!¡± After joesse finally caught her breath, she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mocking words. She was immediately unconvinced. Only God knew that she had only kissed a few times. Not everyone was like Zheng ze, an expert in love. Thinking about this, joesse pouted. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows. ¡°No, I didn ¡®t!¡± Joes turned her head, not intending to speak to him. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi did not need it. He grabbed Joes ¡®waist and led her to the stairs.¡±Alright, the wind has blown enough. It¡¯s time to go back.¡± ¡°I still want to blow for a while longer, let go of me!¡± Zheng ze ignored Joes ¡®struggle. The two of them went up the stairs and returned to their seats in the banquet hall. At this time, the banquet was almosting to an end. Zheng lihan walked to old master Zheng¡¯s side and said,¡±Dad ... Let me unwrap the birthday gift for you.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s expression was calm as he said,¡±¡±As you wish.¡± Zheng lihan felt that old master Zheng¡¯s attitude towards him was a little unpleasant, but he did not say anything else and returned to the stage. The old men and women were in an uproar again. ¡°Elder Zheng, I think your son doesn¡¯t seem to be much.¡± An olddy took a sip of water and couldn¡¯t helpughing. ¡°That¡¯s right, you don¡¯t even have half of your aura back then,¡±Grandpa Qin said. Old master Zheng did not refute his formerpanions ¡®words because he had the same thoughts in his heart. Zheng lihan was not cut out for business. In addition, old master Zheng had not properly educated him since he was young, causing him to devote himself to the arts. Zheng lihan¡¯s heart and eyes were only filled with art. He and that woman had no ability to take over the Zheng family¡¯s business. No matter how much old master Zheng hated iron for not meeting steel, he had no other choice now. ¡°Sigh ... Don¡¯t mention it. Fortunately, I still have a grandson. The Zheng family finally has a sessor.¡± Old man Zheng sighed in disappointment. The other old men saw that old man Zheng didn¡¯t refute and knew that he had the same thoughts as them. Chapter 51

Chapter 51: The unfilial son Zheng Zeyi

¡°Alright, elder Zheng, don¡¯t think too much. Although your son can¡¯t make it, don¡¯t you still have two grandsons?¡± For the first time, Grandpa Qin started tofort old master Zheng. He did have two grandsons. One of them was Zheng Zeyi, and the other ... Was Ma Shan¡¯s son, Qiao Zeyu. Old master Zheng snorted at the thought of the child.¡±¡±Two? I¡¯d rather be the only one. ¡± Zheng Zeyu had not even attended old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet. It was clear that he did not respect old master Zheng, so there was no need to count him in. Every family had their own problems, so the old grandpas and grandmas did not say anything. Zheng lihan walked up to the stage and prepared to present the birthday gifts that those people had brought to the crowd. Although he liked art and did not have the ability to run the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group, he was very keen on being in the limelight. ¡°Dear guests, thank you for the birthday gifts.¡± Zheng lihan said into the microphone. The origins of each item were marked. Zheng lihan picked up a birthday gift and said into the microphone,¡±Thank you to the president of the Windy City Group for the Jade Buddha statue.¡± The mention of the Jade statue caused quite amotion. This was a very valuable Jade statue. They did not expect the Windy City Group to spend so much money on it. Only joesse¡¯s reaction was different. The Windy City Group? She frowned and could not help but nce around the banquet hall. However, she did not see ye chen. It did not seem to be him. ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and asked. ...... Joesughed in embarrassment and shook her head,¡±¡±No, no, I¡¯m not looking for anything.¡± On the stage, Zheng lihan was still reporting the birthday gifts, but the two of them had no intention of listening. They had different thoughts. Almost everypany¡¯s gift was extremely expensive, and some of old master Zheng¡¯s good friends were of simr value. Inparison, joesse felt that her gift was nothing. A ginseng that cost a few thousand dors would probably beughed at if she were to disy itter on. Joes shook her head slightly. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gift to old master Zheng was a jade ring. As she looked past the crowd, Qiao si saw it immediately. Under the illumination of the lights, it emitted a faint Halo. As expected of the son of an aristocratic family. Joes sighed, but she realized that someone was watching her from the dark. She scanned the area and realized that it was Yang Yue Yue. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with gloating, and she was currently looking at her with a smile. Frowning slightly, joesse finally understood Yang Yue Yue¡¯s thoughts. She simply felt that Yang Yue Yue could not give her any presentable birthday gift. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s guess was right this time. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what do you think will happen if a gift worth a few thousand Yuan appears at the birthday banquet?¡± Qiao si si was not worried at all. Instead, she asked Zheng Zeyi with interest. She had delivered the gift and her intentions, but the response ... Was not within joesse¡¯s consideration. She didn¡¯t have anything to do with these aristocrats, so there was no need to squeeze into this unsuitable circle. She was very open about it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Zheng ze replied with a smile.¡±It won¡¯t appear.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m giving it to ...¡± Joesse was a little surprised. She was about to say something but was stopped by Zheng ze¡¯s finger that was on her lips. ¡°If I say no, I mean No.¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes slightly. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and his tone was overbearing. Joesse swallowed thest part of her sentence. Since this young master did not want her to say it, then she would not say it. Anyway, Zheng Zeyi would be able to see the giftter. Ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, joesse turned to look at Zheng lihan as he continued to report the gifts that the guests had sent. By now, most of the birthday gifts had been revealed. The present was a gift from Yang Yue Yue¡¯s family. It was an expensive and exquisite tea set, and it had an antique vor. To be honest, this kind of quality was indeed rare on the market. Yang Yue Yue could not help but feel proud when she saw the birthday gift. She raised her chin at Joes as if showing off and revealed a smug smile. He even mouthed two words,¡±¡±Pauper.¡± However, he did not know that in the eyes of Joes, he was no different from a clown. Joes¡¯s eyes darkened as she retorted,¡±¡±You¡¯re sick,¡± No one noticed the silent confrontation between the two of them except for Zheng Zeyi, who had been paying attention to her behavior. After that, the birthday gifts were revealed one by one. Joes felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge from this trip to the birthday banquet. It was not until thest item that joesse¡¯s sharp eyes saw the birthday gift box clearly. That was the item that she had given him! Very good, it was time to attract the public¡¯s attention. Qiao si pursed her lips, but her eyes were fixed on the box in Zheng lihan¡¯s hands. On the stage, Zheng lihan received the box. When he saw the signature on it, his expression turned ugly. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Jossi. Why had he never heard of it before? Zheng lihan¡¯s face turned green. He looked at the situation and then at old master Zheng, who was staring at him, but he suppressed his anger. ¡°This is a birthday gift from my son¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± Zheng lihan managed to say this with much difficulty. Joes could feel that everyone¡¯s eyes were on her the moment she said that. There was curiosity, suspicion, and even jealousy. ¡°President Zheng, I¡¯ve never heard of your son having a fianc¨¦e before,¡± someone in the audience couldn¡¯t help but ask. Not to mention him, even the others had never heard of it. Qiao si si had only appeared once, during Yang Yue Yue¡¯s birthday party. It was also at that time that Zheng ze had acknowledged her as his fianc¨¦e. There were quite a few people who knew about it, but since it wasn¡¯t really made public, there were also people who didn¡¯t know. The corner of Joes¡¯s eyes twitched. She felt that things were not going in a good direction. Pretending to be his fianc¨¦e ... Why did it feel like it was real? Unfortunately, she would not know the answer for the time being. Zheng lihan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the guests ¡®questions. He tightened his grip on the microphone. To be honest, he did not even know where his daughter-inw hade from. Zheng Zeyi, this unfilial son! He had never mentioned it! However, Zheng lihan could not get angry in public, so he could only smile. ¡°It¡¯s only in name. It hasn¡¯t been announced yet, so many people don¡¯t know about it.¡± ¡°It seems like the next time I attend the Zheng family¡¯s banquet will be an engagement party. Congrattions, President Zheng!¡± A business partner said. He even picked up a ss of red wine and drank it in one gulp to celebrate. ¡°You¡¯re right, President Zheng. It seems like the Zheng family is going to be in for a good time soon. Let me toast to you too!¡± Many people followed suit, and thunderous apuse and congrattions rang out in the hall. Zheng lihan, who was on stage, felt embarrassed. Joes, who was pretending to be his fianc¨¦e, also felt the same. Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Medal as a birthday gift

Qiao si turned to Zheng Zeyi for help, her watery eyes seemed to be saying,¡±Zheng Zeyi, how are we going to end this? Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he caught a glimpse of a certain woman¡¯s gaze. He leaned close to her ear and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry. Zheng lihan won¡¯t dare to say anything in public.¡± After saying that, joesse felt slightly more at ease and heaved a sigh of relief. However, a trace of doubt rose in her heart. It seemed that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rtionship with his father was worse than he had imagined. He had even addressed his father by his name. He didn¡¯t know what had happened back then ... Suppressing her thoughts, Qiao si stared at Zheng lihan on the stage. She was a jewelry designer, not an entertainment reporter from a gossip magazine. Why did she have to care so much about other people¡¯s family matters? On the stage, Zheng lihan secretly nced at Zheng Zeyi, his eyes filled with disappointment. He raised his microphone and said,¡±¡±Everyone will know when the announcement is made.¡± He didn¡¯t admit it, but he didn¡¯t deny it either. Everyone¡¯s eyes flickered. Many of them even wanted to send their daughters to the Zheng family, which was one of the toppanies in the business world. If they could squeeze in, they would transform into phoenixes. If they couldn¡¯t squeeze in, they wouldn¡¯t lose anything. However, he did not expect Zheng Zeyi to have a fianc¨¦e of unknown origin behind his back. In an instant, the children of the various families in the banquet hall all had different thoughts, and no one knew what they were thinking. The momentary silence made Joes ¡®hair stand on end. ...... ¡°Zheng Zeyi ... Are your fangirls thinking of eating me up?¡± Joes asked with a hint of dissatisfaction. She could feel countless eyes scanning her from head to toe. Zheng Zeyi smiled and shifted his position to stand in front of joesse. He said softly,¡±¡±They wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± After saying that, Joes was touched for a moment, but when she heard the next sentence, it immediately disappeared without a trace. ¡°I dare.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s face turned red with anger as she recalled the scene of that day. She red at Zheng Zeyi.¡±¡±You¡¯re talking nonsense. Don¡¯t mention that matter anymore.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll rely on my own abilities, why not?¡± Zheng Zeyi said in a devilish manner. As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao si felt as if she was about to fume with anger. If she had known that such a thing would happen when she was bewitched by Chen Anna, and that she would have even provoked the demon, Zheng Zeyi. She didn¡¯t even go to the bar, let alone drinking and looking for someone to relieve her boredom. She just stayed at home and quietly stayed at home! But now, there was nothing he could do. The registration for the birthday present on the stage continued. Although Zheng lihan¡¯s expression was ugly, he tried his best to hide it. Little did he know that Yang Yue Yue was inexplicably excited. That B * tch, she definitely can¡¯t afford a good gift. Open it! She wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone! Yang Yue Yue¡¯s excitement was noticed by Qiao si, who was sitting at the same table as her. The corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. This person was really going to use all means to see her embarrass herself. Fortunately, Jossi had already mentally prepared herself. Even if she was met with disdain, she would not say anything. The box was slowly opened, and what came into view ... Was not ginseng, but a medal. It was slightly worn out, but the red glow on it was still bright. The moment they saw the medal, everyone, including Zheng lihan, showed a look of disdain. He almost lost control of his hand and wanted to close the box. ¡°This ...¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s face turned pale. He did not know what to say when he saw the medal. After a moment of silence, the entire ce was filled with discussions. ¡°A Broken Medal? I thought that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e would be able to bring out some good gifts. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If you want this kind of thing, it wouldn¡¯t cost much even if you had hundreds or thousands of them.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The mocking and disdainful words filled her ears, but Joes was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. She ... Didn¡¯t prepare a medal? What about the ginseng? That was the present she had given him. No matter how many doubts he had in his heart, he could not get any answers at this moment. Yang Yue Yue revealed a look of disdain. The clothes were indeed the same. She was even a little excited. She knew that joesse, the Pauper, would not have anything good to show. She actually gave him a Broken Medal. This woman was simply a disgrace! That was what everyone was thinking. Zheng lihan felt even more embarrassed. He did not have a good impression of Qiao si, whom he had never met. He didn¡¯t even want to make an introduction and was about to close the box when he was suddenly stopped. ¡°Wait,¡± The person who spoke was the host of the birthday banquet, old master Zheng. Many people¡¯s gazes were attracted and they were full of doubts. This was just a Broken Medal. Could it have attracted the attention of old master Zheng? One had to know that old master Zheng¡¯s biggest reaction in all the previous birthday gifts was merely a nod, including the Jade ring that Zheng Zeyi had given him? But when it came to this stupid medal, he stopped. What did he mean? Old master Zheng didn¡¯t care about what others thought. He was a little excited and said,¡±¡±Bring me the box.¡± ¡°Dad, it¡¯s just a medal. It¡¯s not worth mentioning. If you want it ...¡± Zheng lihan tried to persuade him, but he was interrupted. ¡°I told you to bring it over, so you brought it over!¡± Zheng lihan clenched his fists tightly, but he did not dare to refute. He took the box and walked over. Seeing the box being handed over to old master Zheng, joesse was even more puzzled. After pondering for a moment, she seemed to havee up with an answer. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, did you swap my ginseng?¡± Joes asked softly, ensuring that no one else could hear her. Even if it wasn¡¯t a gift from her, it was probably Zheng Zeyi¡¯s n. After all, he was the one who spent the money, and it was old master Zheng who got it. After all was said and done, it had nothing to do with her. However, it seemed that this medal was not simple to old master Zheng. It might even be very important. Zheng Zeyi looked up slightly and held joesse¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Don¡¯t say anything. If you know, just watch. ¡± With her hand being held tightly, Joes felt extremely helpless. She tried to shake it off, but her strength was too weak, so she could only give up struggling. ¡°I don¡¯t have any other meaning. I just want you to discuss with me before you do anything. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be easily exposed if I don¡¯t know.¡± Joes said sincerely. Seeing that she did not seem to be faking her expression, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up and he nodded.¡±¡±I¡¯ll tell you next time. ¡± While the two of them were talking, old man Zheng had already taken the box and the medal in his palm. He was looking at it carefully from top to bottom. The other old grandpas and grandmas were also a little excited. Grandpa Qin¡¯s expression was different from before, and he couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Elder Zheng, could this be the medal that we got from before? I haven¡¯t seen it in decades!¡± The other old man was also extremely excited. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it was difficult to snatch the medal, he would have snatched it and looked at it for himself. Chapter 53

Chapter 53: You have a good eye

The old man¡¯s face revealed a nostalgic expression.¡±¡±It¡¯s been a few decades, time sure flies ...¡± The people sitting at this table were all old acquaintances of old master Zheng. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have the right to sit at this table. Most of them were around the same age as old master Zheng and were once Good Brothers who had been in the military and business. This medal was an item that had witnessed his growth. It was a pity that it was lost one day and never found again. It had been decades, and seeing this thing again, they couldn¡¯t help but recall many memories. Old master Zheng observed it over and over again, then revealed a sincere smile.¡±¡±As expected, this is the medal!¡± Upon hearing this, the old people at the table were a little excited and mored to take the things over to have a good look. However, old master Zheng kept it in his pocket like it was a treasure.¡±¡±This is a birthday gift from my granddaughter-inw. Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± ¡°Elder Zheng, you¡¯re still as shameless as ever!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a nce. There¡¯s no need to be so petty, elder Zheng. Why don¡¯t I have such a good granddaughter-inw? you¡¯ve taken all the advantages.¡± Hearing the praises from his deskmate, old master Zheng was extremely pleased, and his impression of joesse increased. This child was really thoughtful. ¡­¡­¡­ ...... Everyone was shocked to see this. I didn¡¯t expect a Broken Medal to have such a big background! Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e was really good at ying tricks! Zheng lihan stood at the side with a stunned expression. He held the gift box, not knowing whether to leave or stay where he was. On the other table, Ma Shan, Zheng lihan¡¯s current wife, could not help but frown. She had originally wanted to watch a good show. He didn¡¯t expect things to get out of his control. The entire ce was silent, and only the olddy and old man¡¯sughter could be heard. Upon seeing this, Joes blinked her eyes. It seemed like this medal was better than the ginseng. After all, this was an old item of old master Zheng and the others. After being lost for so many years, she would definitely remember a lot of things when she returned to her side. This was something that other birthday gifts could notpare to. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so nice to old master Zheng.¡± Joesughed, her eyes curved into crescents. He had gone to great lengths to find old master Zheng¡¯s favorite item. Even though their rtionship didn¡¯t seem good on the surface, it was actually quite good. At least ... He was better than Zheng lihan. ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Zheng Zeyi did not have any desire to answer this question. Joes was slightly helpless. Suddenly, she recalled the ginseng that she had bought and asked,¡±¡±By the way, where did you put the ginseng I bought?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve eaten. ¡± ¡°Ate it?¡± Joes¡¯s brows rose slightly and her eyes widened. Zheng Zeyi could not help but chuckled as his maic voice rang in her ears.¡±¡±I was lying to you. He has it too.¡± After saying that, Zheng Zeyi raised his chin and gestured for Joes to look at old master Zheng. This action also made her understand. It seemed that the ginseng was also in old master Zheng¡¯s birthday gift, but it had not been found. Forget it, it¡¯s just a few thousand Yuan. How can I be so petty? do I still want to take it back? Joes thought to herself. While Qiao Si was calm and collected, Yang Yue Yue could no longer hold herself back, her long nails almost digging into her flesh. She lowered her head slightly to hide her twisted expression, and a few drops of blood appeared on her palm. How could it be ... How could Joes bring out such a birthday gift? this was not what she had imagined. That B * tch should be despised by everyone! Yang Yue Yue was filled with hatred. She secretly nced at Qiao si si and made a decision in her heart. She would not let Jossi off! Sensing the source of the gaze, Qiao si frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart. Yang Yue Yue wouldn¡¯t be up to no good again, would she? She would deal with whatever came her way, would she be afraid of her? Joesse¡¯s brows rxed and she could not be bothered to look in Yang Yue Yue¡¯s direction. She was about to have another piece of dessert when she suddenly heard old master Zheng¡¯s voice. ¡°Sisi,e here.¡± After being stunned for a moment, joesse realized that it was old master Zheng calling her. She quickly looked up and saw old master Zheng smiling kindly. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curved into a smile as he gently pushed her back.¡±¡±Go on.¡± Hence, Joes cleared her throat and called out sweetly,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng.¡± Then, he walked over to the old man¡¯s table. With every step she took, she could feel arge number of eyes on her. Joes tightened her grip on her skirt and took a deep breath. She raised her head and puffed out her chest as she walked towards old master Zheng. The old grandpas and grandmas at the table sized up Joes with curiosity. She was dressed in a dark blue evening gown that entuated her long and slender legs. She had light makeup on her face and was smiling slightly. Her eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky. He exuded a cold aura that attracted the attention of others. Many grandmothers and grandfathers nodded to themselves. It was a pity ... Such a good girl had been taken by the grandson of the Zheng family. When joesse came to old master Zheng¡¯s side, the banquet hall was still extremely quiet, and everyone¡¯s eyes were the same. Old man Zheng was in a good mood and said,¡±¡±Everyone, don¡¯t be so polite. There¡¯s no need to look at me. Continue.¡± After he said that, many people retracted their gazes and started chatting. It seemed like they had returned to normal, but in reality, their attention was still on old master Zheng¡¯s table. However, he couldn¡¯t be bothered with this. ¡°Sisi, sit.¡± There was an empty seat beside old master Zheng. Joes hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying,¡±¡±Alright, thank you, Grandpa Zheng.¡± After he finished speaking, he sat down. Many gazes fell on her, but Jossi maintained her shock, looking more like ady from a wealthy family. A momentter, an olddy said,¡±¡±Youngdy, your name is Jossi?¡± ¡°Yes, grandma.¡± Joes smiled. She didn¡¯t know what the olddy¡¯s surname was, so she could only call her that. Grandma he revealed a look of understanding.¡±Not bad, she¡¯s a good girl. Elder Zheng, your grandson has good taste.¡± ¡°Of course. Don¡¯t you know whose grandson he is? of course, he has good taste.¡± Old master Zheng was a little smug as he took a sip of his wine. The people sitting at this table had lived for more than half of their lives and had almost half a foot in their coffins. After all, they had been out adventuring for so many years, and they had seen all kinds of people. Inparison, Jossi was merely a youngster here. In the eyes of the elderly, she could be seen through with one look. Even though she knew this, Joes¡¯s mood was not bad, and a smile hung on her lips. Chapter 54

Chapter 54: So what if I am?

Only by sitting here could one feel that this was a group of old people with no ill intentions. The food on the Round Table was almost untouched, but there were many empty bottles of red wine on the table, more than the previous table. Joes sat upright and could not help but nce at Zheng Zeyi in the distance, only to realize that he was also looking at her. The two gazes met in the air, and the atmosphere became somewhat different. Joes¡¯s face turned red and she quickly looked away. She pursed her lips and pretended that nothing had happened. Old master Zheng was in a good mood when he saw this. It seemed like his grandson was the best among all his childhood friends. ¡°By the way, sisi, How long have you been together with old Zheng¡¯s grandson?¡± Grandpa Qin raised his eyebrows and couldn¡¯t help but ask. Old master Zheng saw that he was just asking a simple question, so he didn¡¯t interrupt. Qiao sisi was a little embarrassed when she was asked this question. She did not answer immediately as only God knew that she was not with Zheng Zeyi at all. They were just pretending to be fianc¨¦e and now it was almost time to meet the parents. As a fake fianc¨¦e, she did not know what to say. However, she could not tell the truth at this moment. Otherwise, joesse suspected that she would not be able to leave this banquet hall. If she told the truth in public, she suspected that Zheng Zeyi would not let her off, let alone old master Zheng and his group. People had to lower their heads when they were under the eaves. ...... At the thought of this, Joes tried to make her expression look natural and said with a smile,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, I¡¯ve been with Zeyi for about a month now.¡± A month ago, she and Zheng ze wereplete strangers and had never met. However, she did not expect that a monthter, not only did they have that kind of rtionship, but they also became a fake fianc¨¦e. Just the thought of it made Jossi feel a little regretful. ¡°A month ... That¡¯s not too long.¡± Grandpa Qin nodded his head. On the other hand, old master Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and red.¡±¡±Old Qin, what¡¯s wrong with a month? look at your grandsons, they can¡¯t even find a girlfriend.¡± ¡°So what if he has a girlfriend? my grandson is so outstanding. If he really wants to find someone, he can just wave his hand and attract a bunch of them.¡± Grandpa Qin retorted unwillingly. Needless to say, the grandsons and granddaughters of these old grandpas and grandmas were all extremely outstanding, including Zheng Zeyi. If he was outstanding and still single, he would definitely attract a bunch of fangirls. Qiao si held back herughter. After all, Zheng ze had a bunch of fangirls. Old master Zhengughed in anger and said,¡±¡±If you¡¯re so casual, why don¡¯t you just get someone to give you a great-grandson?¡± ¡°Elder Zheng, are you going to fight?¡± The two of them seemed to be at odds with each other. Jossi felt that the two of them were about to start quarreling, but the other old grandpas were still watching the show happily. It seemed like this was how old master Zheng and his old acquaintance Grandpa Qin interacted with each other, so they were used to it. After quarreling for a while, the two of them felt that it was boring and quickly calmed down. ¡°Sisi, what do you usually do?¡± This time, it was old master Zheng who asked the question. It was his first time meeting Jossi and he did not know what she did for a living. At the mention of work, Jossi¡¯s interest was piqued.¡±Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯m a jewelry designer. I¡¯m currently working at Shiyupany.¡± Many of the people present had heard of Shiyupany. It was indeed the origin of some famous jewelry designers. Moreover, Xiang Jinyu himself was a benchmark, and many jewelry designers went after him like ducks, but they were all stopped at the door. Qiao si si was considered very lucky to have met Zheng Zeyi and obtained this opportunity. ¡°Being a jewelry designer is indeed a promising career. I have high hopes for you.¡± Old man Zheng smiled, his expression looking extremely kind to joesse. Jossi¡¯s heart immediately softened as she had an old man in her family. After chatting with the elderly, Jossi returned to her seat after greeting them. The banquet was about to end. Zheng lihan took on another task and went on stage to give a speech. It was nothing more than a speech to thank everyone for attending old master Zheng¡¯s birthday present and the like. The guests dispersed one after another. Zheng Zeyi was also called over by old master Zheng, as if he had something to say. Qiao si si did not want to be a busybody and was about to leave when Yang Yue Yue happened to walk past her. ¡°Jossi.¡± Joes had just stood up when she heard this. She frowned and did not really want to respond to Yang Yue Yue. He didn¡¯t do anything serious and just stared at her every day. He didn¡¯t know how he found joy in it. Yang Yue Yue did not know what Qiao si si was thinking. Seeing that Qiao si si was ignoring her, Yang Yue was furious,¡±¡±Jossi, just you wait.¡± He was gritting his teeth. Qiao si nced at Yang Yue Yue expressionlessly. She only dared to be so arrogant when Zheng ze was not around. ¡°Other than this, what else do you know how to say?¡± ¡°You!¡± Yang Yue Yue was so angry that she couldn¡¯t express her vocabry at this moment. She gritted her teeth and widened her eyes. Joes picked up the ss of red wine on the table, her eyes sharp, and her tone extremely impolite,¡±¡±Don¡¯t make me angry, get lost. ¡± His voice wasn¡¯t soft, and it seemed to have attracted some people¡¯s attention. Seeing this, Yang Yue Yue was a little flustered, afraid that her harsh words would be heard by old master Zheng. She did not know how this B * tch had gained old master Zheng¡¯s appreciation. If old master Zheng knew what he was doing, he would probably ... Thinking of this, Yang Yue Yue was a little flustered, but she was still a little unwilling. Finally, she said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll make you pay the price sooner orter. Jossi, don¡¯t be too smug!¡± After she finished speaking, she left in her ten-centimeter high heels. ¡°I won¡¯t send you off.¡± The corner of joesse¡¯s eyes twitched as she said that. She was really worried that Yang Yue Yue would break her heel if she used more force. After this little interlude, there was almost no one left in the banquet hall. Other than Zheng Zeyi¡¯s family and the old man at the table, there was only her. Joesse put down her ss of red wine and was prepared to greet old master Zheng before leaving. At this moment, a figure walked up to her. He was wearing a tube-top evening dress and had gorgeous makeup. His face looked a little familiar. Qiao sisi furrowed her brows and remembered who the woman in front of her was. She hade in with Zheng lihan, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stepmother, who teased Ma Shan. Looking as if she hade with ill intentions, Joes furrowed her brows and took a step back, putting some distance between them. ¡°You¡¯re Jossi?¡± Ma Shan said nonchntly as she yed with her delicate nails. Joes did not seem to care about her contemptuous attitude. She squinted her eyes and said,¡±¡±So what if I am?¡± Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t have a good rtionship with this stepmother, and old master Zheng hated her to the core, so why should she be nice to her? Chapter 55

Chapter 55: I¡¯m his father

After hearing Joes¡¯s equally impolite reply, Ma Shan¡¯s hand paused for a moment, and she looked at her with an unfriendly gaze. Joesse was not surprised by the sudden evil intentions of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stepmother. Even though he did not know what had happened back then, he could tell that Ma Shan did not be his wife through any legitimate means. Otherwise, why would old master Zheng be so against her? ¡°Very good. Amoner from a small family wants to marry into our Zheng family? Do you really think that an ugly duckling can be a White Swan?¡± Ma Shan raised her eyebrows with a hint of mockery. Joesse furrowed her brows. She raised her eyes and said,¡±¡±Mrs. MA, don¡¯t be so rude.¡± His tone was sharp, which stunned Ma Shan for a moment. ¡°Mercy? What a sharp-tongued girl. I just didn¡¯t expect Zeyi¡¯s taste to be so bad that he¡¯d pick a fianc¨¦e from the slums. ¡± Ma Shan could not help but sneer. Facing the arrogant Ma Shan, Joes squinted her eyes,¡±¡±It seems that Madam MA has a good upbringing.¡± Just from her words and actions, it was hard to tell that Ma Shan was from a prestigious family. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from afar,¡±¡±Ma Shan, she¡¯s my fianc¨¦e. You don¡¯t have to judge her.¡± The person who spoke was Zheng Zeyi. His eyes were filled with danger as he walked to Qiao SI¡¯s side and blocked her behind him. ...... Looking at the tall figure in front of her, Joes could not help but be stunned. Her heart subconsciously softened. When Ma Shan heard this, the mocking smile on her face started to crack. She said awkwardly,¡±¡±Zeyi, I¡¯m just trying to help you pick a good one.¡± At this point, she paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±You don¡¯t know this, but this girl was very rude to me. She doesn¡¯t know what manners are.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s not up to you to say what she¡¯s like. Also, don¡¯t call me Zeyi. ¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were as cold as an ice cer, and the air pressure around him was extremely low. Qiao si si could not help but hug her clothes. How much hatred did Ma Shan have with Zheng Zeyi? The atmosphere was so terrifying. Zheng Zeyi naturally did not know what she was thinking. He looked at Ma Shan and said after a while,¡±¡±Also, let me give you a piece of advice. Control your son.¡± With that, he held joesse¡¯s hand and walked towards old master Zheng without looking back. Ma Shan stood rooted to the ground as she gritted her teeth. Did Zheng Zeyi really think that he was the real CEO of the Zheng Corporation? One day, she would take over the entire Zheng Corporation. And that girl! Ma Shan looked at the back of the two of them and took a look at Joes. Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to his mind. Why should she stop him? Wouldn¡¯t it increase Zheng ze¡¯s chances of winning the Zheng family¡¯s position if he left Zheng ze with amoner who couldn¡¯t provide him with any help? Thinking of this, Ma Shan revealed a faint smile. Her eyes were as terrifying as a poisonous snake. As for the two people in front, Joes sensed the gazes behind her and her expression turned ugly. She asked,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, did your stepmothere up with any schemes?¡± That gaze was too venomous. Joes¡¯s senses were still considered sharp, and she was a little worried. Zheng Zeyi nced at her and said,¡±¡±You¡¯ll be fine. ¡± What did he mean by she would be fine? Joes blinked her eyes nkly, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She felt an inexplicable sense of concern. When she arrived in front of old man Zheng, she saw that he was still looking around at the old medal, fondling it with some affection. The old grandpas and grandmas at the table were also preparing to leave. When they saw theming, they couldn¡¯t help but tease them. ¡°Elder Zheng, so this is your grandson and granddaughter-inw? they look like a perfect couple.¡± Grandma he said with a smile, her face kind. Without waiting for old master Zheng to speak, Zheng Zeyi smiled and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re too kind, grandma he. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. After all, he¡¯s my grandson. He still inherited some of my genes.¡± Old master Zheng said proudly, causing a disdainful snort from the table. Looking at these elderly grandpas and grandmas who were obviously in high positions but were extremely cute, Jossi felt as if she had been healed. Her mood, which had been ruined by Ma Shan earlier, was now much better. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ll take sisi and leave first.¡± Zheng Zeyi held joesse¡¯s hand tightly and said to old master Zheng. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. ¡± Old master Zheng waved his hand, showing an indifferent attitude. He still wanted to brag to his formerpanions. As for his grandson and granddaughter-inw going to spend some alone time, he naturally had no objections. ¡°Stop!¡± Zheng lihan walked up to Zheng Zeyi and the other two, who were about to leave, and blocked their way. This was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father. Joes stood behind him and sized him up. He did have an artistic air to him,pletely different from old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyes slightly, his voice was very calm, and he was not in the mood to tease joesse. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Unfilial son! You still dare to ask me what¡¯s wrong! Did you ask for my permission to find a fianc¨¦e?¡± Zheng lihan roared. The sound was so loud that even old master Zheng, who was not far away, heard it. He frowned. Zheng zeughed coldly after hearing that. When you went to Ma Shan¡¯s house behind my mother¡¯s back, did you ask for my opinion?¡± Joesse¡¯s pupils contracted. This sentence revealed too much information. She had guessed correctly. Ma Shan was a mistress who had broken into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s family. Zheng lihan was furious. He pointed at Zheng Zeyi with a trembling finger.¡±You unfilial son! I¡¯m your father. I gave birth to you and raised you, but now you¡¯re treating me like this?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. ¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and retorted,¡±¡±My mom made all these.¡± Old master Zheng walked over with the help of his walking stick. He didn¡¯t say a word and seemed as calm as the calm before a storm. ¡°You!¡± Zheng lihan was furious. Zheng ze nced at old master Zheng beside him and didn¡¯t say anything else. Instead, old master Zheng said,¡±¡±Lihan, I¡¯ve already agreed to Zeyi¡¯s marriage. You don¡¯t need to worry about this matter anymore.¡± ¡°Dad, I¡¯m his father.¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s face turned green and he was burning with anger. Old man Zheng¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment as he slowly said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve said it before, you don¡¯t have to care about Zeyi¡¯s marriage. ¡± Zheng lihan was too embarrassed to say anything more. His stomach was filled with anger, and he was so angry that he almost blew smoke out of his seven orifices. Zheng lihan only felt extremely aggrieved. He looked at his father¡¯s disappointed expression and his son¡¯s nonchnt attitude. They would never take their opinions seriously! Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Everything will be better

¡°Alright, alright ... I won¡¯t care!¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s chest heaved up and down as he said these three words. After he finished speaking, he strode away. Just by looking at his back, one could tell that he was extremely angry. Old master Zheng turned around and left with his walking stick. He said,¡±¡±Alright, you guys should go now. Next time, remember to bring sisi to the vi so that I can have a good chat with her.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi spat out a single word. Upon hearing that, joesse frowned and nced at Zheng ze. He was so cold, but she changed to a smile and said to old master Zheng,¡±Grandpa Zheng, we¡¯ll take our leave first.¡± After getting old master Zheng¡¯s response, Qiao si and Qiao si left the banquet hall and got into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car. At this moment, there were not many pedestrians on the street, only a few. The window was open, and the cool night wind blew in. Joes tucked her hair behind her ears and asked,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s hard to end things now?¡± He had said that she was pretending to be his fianc¨¦e, but he had not expected that everyone would know about it now. Even old master Zheng had talked about marriage. At the thought of this, Jossi felt a little flustered. She felt that attending the banquet was not a good decision. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t reject it back then. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand was on the steering wheel. Perhaps it was because he was not in a good mood, but the air pressure in the narrow space was a little low. ¡°Why don¡¯t we get married?¡± Zheng Zeyi suggested after a while. ...... There was no questioning tone in her voice. After Joes heard it, she stood rooted to the ground in shock, unable to regain her senses for a long time. She could not believe what she had just heard. Patting her head, Joes still had a stunned expression on her face. She turned around and asked in a daze,¡±¡±What did you just say?¡± She must have heard it wrong. Zheng Zeyi definitely did not say the word ¡®married¡¯. Hence, Zheng Zeyi repeated,¡±¡±I say ... Why don¡¯t we get married?¡± Only then did Joes confirm that she had not heard wrongly. She quickly shook her head in resistance,¡±¡±How Can We Get Married? we agreed to pretend to be fianc¨¦e.¡± At the banquet this time, Jossi did have a good impression of old master Zheng. He was an old man who was swift and decisive in his methods, but had a slightly cute personality. However, this did not mean that she liked Zheng Zeyi. Besides, marriage was not even possible. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and his deep voice rang in his ears.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know that ns can¡¯t keep up with changes?¡± Joes was just about to retort when she heard the following words,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll stop joking with you.¡± She heaved a sigh of relief. She had misunderstood. Zheng Zeyi would not want to marry her. The night breeze that blew in from outside the car window blew away the smell of alcohol. Jossi took a deep breath of the fresh air and felt that her mind was not as muddled as before. The reaction was too big, and it was a little embarrassing. The car started slowly and drove towards their apartment. Halfway through the journey, when Qiao Si was leaning against her seat drowsy, she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice.¡±¡±Are you curious about my rtionship with Ma Shan?¡± Hearing that, joesse¡¯s sleepiness disappeared and she rubbed her eyes. Although she was indeed curious about this matter, she still didn¡¯t know whether she should answer yes or no at this moment. After all, this was her family¡¯s business, and Jossi was just an outsider. Zheng Zeyi seemed to have read her mind and the corners of his lips curled up.¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to think so much. It¡¯s all old. ¡± It had been too long. Even if he brought it up again, he would not be as indignant as he was back then. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, do you ... Hate Ma Shan?¡± Joes did not answer but asked another question. Zheng Zeyi answered without hesitation,¡±¡±Yes.¡± In the next ten minutes or so, he told Joes about what happened to the Zheng family back then, sending a chill down the spines of those who listened. Twenty years ago, the headdy of the Zheng family was still Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother, Qianqian Bailu. Bai Lu had been married to Zheng lihan for more than ten years, but she had never thought that her husband would cheat on her. However, some things were inevitable. What happened was what happened. Zheng lihan¡¯s lover was Ma Shan, who had been overbearing and arrogant just now. Twenty years ago, Ma Shan was just a dancer. However, she was very skilled and managed to make Zheng lihan fall for her. As time went by, she gave herself away. He did not expect Zheng lihan to still be unrepentant. He even brought Ma Shan into his house and threatened to divorce Bai Lu. Due to her old illness, Bai Lu was so angry that she fell sick and was hospitalized. Without old master Zheng¡¯s knowledge, Zheng lihan threw out the divorce agreement and forced Bai Lu to sign it. After the divorce, Zheng lihan and Ma Shan got together even more openly. They went in and out of the vi as if no one was there. Because of Bai Lu¡¯s old illness, it did not take long for her to be in the hospital. One had to know how old Zheng Zeyi was at that time. He was only eight years old. No matter how angry he was, he could not do anything. He told old master Zheng about it. Old master Zheng was furious, but he couldn¡¯t be too harsh on his own son. In short, Zheng lihan would not be able to get a share of the Zheng¡¯spany. However, he did not expect Zheng lihan to not care at all. He, who only loved art, was happy and at ease. In the end, he officially married Ma Shan. Zheng Zeyi was too young, but he remembered this in his heart. He began to work hard and learn business knowledge, bing the youngest business genius. Ma Shan had actually given birth to a son after she joined the Zheng family. His name was Zheng Zeyu, and they were half-brothers. However, Zheng Zeyi had never admitted to this. Zheng Zeyu could not bepared to him. He was just a dandy who only knew how to eat, drink, and y. From then on, old master Zheng began to train Zheng Zeyi on his own. He was brought into the Zheng Corporation step by step, and that was how the current president of the Zheng Corporation came to be. Therefore, whether it was Zheng lihan or Ma Shan, to Zheng Zeyi, they were both the murderers who had forced his mother to her death. After listening to everything, Joes could not help but say angrily,¡±¡±They¡¯ve gone too far!¡± What was the difference between Ma Shan¡¯s behavior and murder? Such a good family was destroyed in her hands. Now, Qiao si finally understood why old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi did not like Ma Shan. It would be a wonder if they did. If Zheng lihan had not lost his mind, how could a vicious mistress climb up the ranks? Zheng Zeyi, however, was calm and pursed his lips slightly.¡±¡±It has already passed.¡± But sooner orter, he would make this couple pay the price when he took full control of the Zheng Corporation! ¡°Zheng Zeyi ...¡± Joesse sighed and mumbled his name, but she did not know how tofort him. After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up and she said softly,¡±¡±Let¡¯s look forward. Everything will be better.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and revealed a faint smile at an angle that Qiao si si could not see. Chapter 57

Chapter 57: What do you want to do

After this incident, Qiao sisi¡¯s attitude towards Zheng Zeyi was much better than before. After all, Yang Yue Yue was her enemy. Even though Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality was not that great, he had not done anything to her. The two of them returned to the apartment together, and the atmosphere between them was a little warmer. ¡°Have a good rest, good night.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she closed the door after she finished speaking. Zheng Zeyi smiled and retracted his gaze. He also returned to his room to rest. Outside the room was a city with dim lights and a sky as dark as ink, with stars shining. Perhaps, he had found what he had been looking for. At the Zheng family¡¯s Vi. Even though it was alreadyte at night, the vi was still brightly lit. Zheng lihan leaned back on the sofa while Ma Shan gently massaged his shoulders from behind. ¡°You don¡¯t know how ze Yi treats me! Is that how you should treat your father?¡± Zheng lihan was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it when he mentioned today¡¯s incident. Ma Shan massaged her shoulders as she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not the first day you¡¯ve found out that ze Yi¡¯s insensible. ¡± ¡°He¡¯s not just insensible anymore. He¡¯spletely disrespecting me!¡± ...... Zheng lihan was confident and righteous. He did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for what had happened back then. He pushed all the me to Zheng Zeyi. Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed behind them, but no one noticed it. Sheughed softly.¡±That¡¯s enough. If Zeyi likes her, so what if he marries that girl? even if she¡¯s amoner, she can¡¯t resist Zeyi¡¯s love.¡± Ma Shan¡¯s words were like needles hidden in cotton, and she was extremely scheming. ¡°Impossible! I won¡¯t let thatmoner girl in!¡± Zheng lihan shouted sternly. Commoner ... Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed. She was once a lowly dancer, but now, she was the headdy of the Zheng family. After calming down, Ma Shan rubbed her shoulders and said,¡±¡±Lihan, Zeyi has always been like this. The more you don¡¯t want him to do it, the more he wants to do it.¡± His words made sense, but Zheng Zeyi was not like that. He would not change his mind easily once he had made up his mind. Zheng lihan¡¯s anger dissipated a little after hearing that. He paused for a moment before asking,¡±¡±Shanshan, what do you mean?¡± Ma Shan smiled.¡±Why don¡¯t we pretend to follow his wishes on the surface? he¡¯ll feel ufortable. Who knows, he might even leave that girl.¡± ¡°Will this work?¡± Zheng lihan frowned and felt that something was amiss. However, after a while, he realized that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s decision could not be changed easily. Moreover, old master Zheng had personally spoken. It was better to retreat in order to advance and let Zheng Zeyi give up on himself. Zheng lihan agreed to Ma Shan¡¯s suggestion after some thought.¡±¡±We¡¯ll do as you say and see what that unfilial kid is going to do next. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡± Ma Shan patted Zheng lihan¡¯s back as if tofort him, but in reality, she had a smug smile on her face. It would be best for Zheng Zeyi to marry thatmoner girl. This way, her efforts would not be in vain. The Zheng Corporation would be her son Zeyu¡¯s sooner orter! Ma Shan¡¯s eyes were filled with greed. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. When she arrived at thepany, Lin ya considerately prepared a cup of milk tea for joesse and told her a piece of big news. ¡°Sisi, do you want to hear the earth-shattering news? You only have one chance. ¡± Lin ya said in a low voice, pretending to be mysterious. After he finished speaking, he looked around at the others to avoid being heard. Joesse couldn¡¯t help but smile as she took a sip of the milk tea. At the same time, she took out a packaged Tusi from her bag and handed it over. ¡°It¡¯s for you. Tell me, what made you so surprised?¡± Lin ya took the toast and put it in the drawer without hesitation. She didn¡¯t hide it anymore and said,¡±¡±Do you still remember when we were suddenly summoned back from our business trip?¡± ¡°I remember. Why? Did something happen?¡± Joes¡¯s hand that was holding the milk tea paused for a moment. If it wasn¡¯t for thepany¡¯s emergency, they would probably still be in Yunqi a few days ago. Regarding grandma Chen, Joes still had a lot of questions that had not been answered. She could only wait for the next opportunity to visit her. She suppressed the thoughts in her mind and listened to Lin ya seriously. ¡°I heard ... There¡¯s a problem with the coboration. I don¡¯t know what it is, but it seems to be about the designer Competition.¡± Lin ya said it in a serious manner. A Designer Competition? Upon hearing those words, Jossi¡¯s eyes lit up. Wasn¡¯t this the opportunity she had been waiting for? Although the ¡°deep sea¡± series had not beenpleted yet, she believed that it would bepleted in time. The designer Competition was also a ce to prove one¡¯s strength. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s heart burned with passion as she asked,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, where did you hear this from? is the information urate?¡± Seeing how excited Qiao Si was, Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but raise her eyebrows and smile profoundly. However, when she heard the news, she was also so excited that she lost her bearings. Now that she saw Joes, who was equally excited, she felt that she was nothing. ¡°I identally heard it in thedies ¡®room. I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s true, but I think it¡¯s true.¡± Lin ya leaned closer to joesse and whispered. As soon as she finished speaking, Jossi understood what was going on and her emotions calmed down. She nodded slightly,¡±¡±Alright, I got it.¡± It seemed that the women¡¯s washroom was indeed the most well-informed ce. When would she go and find out? It was lunch break, and after a busy morning, Joes was a little tired. She went to thepany cafeteria with Lin ya for lunch. After getting some food, Wei Ya, who had not been seen for a long time, came over when he was about to find a seat. ¡°Jossi.¡± Upon hearing her name, Joes subconsciously turned her head and saw Wei Ya in white. Wei Ya had a smile on her face, as if it was a normal greeting. What the hell? Joes frowned, not knowing what Wei Ya was up to. Lin ya, who was standing beside her, was also a little uneasy. She stood behind Joes and looked at Wei Ya a few times. ¡°Jossi, I was in the wrongst time. I apologize to you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Wei Ya said and nodded slightly, full of sincerity. At first, he felt that something was wrong when she greeted him, but now he heard her apologize. Qiao si even doubted her ears. Was this really Wei Ya, the one she met when she first came to thepany? Why did it feel like they were two different people? ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Joes pursed her lips and said impolitely. She didn¡¯t believe that Wei Ya apologized sincerely. If she had a good personality, she wouldn¡¯t have stolen her things in the hotel and pretended to be innocent. Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Thank you, Zheng Zeyi

Wei Ya lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly,¡±¡±I¡¯m really just here to apologize. I shouldn¡¯t have done something like thatst time. I¡¯m sorry ...¡± At the end of her speech, Wei Ya¡¯s head almost shrank back into her neck. Looking at her demeanor and movements, she had indeed lost her previous arrogance. Recalling the sinister gazes of the previous Wei Yas, Joes was still a little suspicious and did not believe this so-called apology. ¡°If an apology is useful, why would we need the police? Xiao Ya, let¡¯s go eat.¡± After saying that, Joes pulled Lin ya, who was still in a daze, and found an empty seat to sit down. He looked at Wei Ya, who was standing there awkwardly, and did not seem to do anything. Lin ya didn¡¯te back to her senses until she sat down.¡±Sisi, did I hear wrong? is Wei Ya apologizing to us?¡± In the past, he didn¡¯t even dare to think about it. Wei Ya used to look down on everyone arrogantly and disdainfully. It was unbelievable that she would apologize now. ¡°You didn¡¯t hear wrong. He did apologize. I just don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking.¡± Joes said as she picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. Lin ya thought about it and decided not to think about it anymore. She focused on eating and said with a muffled voice,¡±¡±Who cares about her? we¡¯ll just ignore her.¡± After lunch, the two of them went back to work. After a few peaceful days, Wei Ya did not do anything out of line since her apology. ...... Joes could not help but wonder what Wei Ya was up to this time. There was no news about the designer Competition that Lin ya had mentionedst time, so the date hadn¡¯t been set yet. ¡­¡­¡­ On a certain day. It happened to be the weekend for Joes, and she only woke upte in the morning. As thepany had been busy these few days and she had been working overtime almost every day, joesse had almost no time off this month. Therefore, at the end of the month, she was given a two-day break so that she could have a good rest. After walking out of the room in her pajamas, Qiao Si was surprised to find Zheng Zeyi sitting in the living room, looking at her with a faint smile. Lowering her head to look at her pajamas, joesse did not find any exposed areas and asked,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Looking at pigs.¡± Jossi: ¡°...¡± So troublesome. Jossi pouted at his teasing words. She was toozy to argue and went straight to the kitchen to get a bag of toast. The LCD TV in front of the living room was ying the news. Joes took a nce, then took her toast and sat far away from Zheng Zeyi. One of them sat on one end of the sofa, while the other sat on the other. ¡°There¡¯s a hot spring resort that just opened for business today. Do you want to go there and have a look?¡± Zheng Zeyi said. Joes¡¯s hand that was holding the toast paused and she frowned.¡±¡±Why did you ask me to go with you?¡± As the CEO of the Zheng Corporation, Zheng Zeyi actually had such a friendly side to him? Even though she was a little surprised, Joes knew that he had good intentions. She was just a little confused, but her tone was calm. After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi shifted his position and ced his hands on the sofa. His expression was devilish.¡±The hot spring. Why do you think we invited you?¡± The moment she finished speaking, the good impression that Joes had of her disappeared without a trace. She knew that this person had no good intentions! ¡°I¡¯m not going. ¡± After Joes firmly rejected him, she continued to munch on her toast while watching the news on TV. It was still fun to stay at home. One did not have to go out, let alone go out with Zheng ze. Zheng ze stared at Qiao si for a long time, then chuckled.¡±¡±I¡¯m just joking with you. I¡¯m not interested in you. The hot spring Vi just opened and invited me to support it. I think ... You¡¯ll be happy to go to the hot spring.¡± It had to be said that when she heard the words ¡®taking a dip in the hot spring¡¯, joesse was a little moved. However, she still maintained that trace of self-restraint. With a faint smile on her lips, she looked straight at the TV screen. Then, Zheng Zeyi increased his strength.¡±¡±Not only is the hot spring free, but you can also get a few free vouchers.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse finally threw down her toast. ¡°When are you going?¡± Zheng Zeyi could not help butugh as he said in a maic voice,¡±¡±Three in the afternoon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go and prepare now. ¡± Joes threw the toast on the table and turned to pack her luggage. If the free tickets couldn¡¯t attract her, what else could? He would try to get a few more so that he could go with Chen Anna next time. It was threeo¡¯ clock in the afternoon by the time she finished preparing her clothes and some other things. The sun wasn¡¯t as bright as it was at noon. It shone through the sparse branches and made people feel warm. It was August and September now, and the weather had gradually cooled down after autumn. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment was air-conditioned all year round, and the windows were opened from time to time for venttion. Therefore, he could hardly feel the temperature difference from the outside world when he stayed in the apartment. After getting into the car, joesse found a book with the words ¡®hot spring resort¡¯ written on it. She picked up the book and looked at the contents. She asked with some certainty,¡±¡±Did the hot spring Vi give it to you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly, then started the car and drove in the direction of the hot spring Vi. Joes, on the other hand, was reading the book seriously. It turned out that the hot spring Vi had been built a few months ago. She thought that the Zheng¡¯s group must have invested in it, which was why they invited Zheng Zeyi when it was just built and ready to open for business. At the thought of this, another possibility came to Joes ¡®mind. Would the people from the otherpanies that were involved in the investment be there? Joesse furrowed her brows slightly but quickly rxed. Even though she did not like such asions, it was still a necessary process. From the pictures in the book, the hot spring Vi was built in an extremely grand manner. Each room had a small hot spring for a single person. The design was considerate andfortable, and it also avoided people who disliked public hot springs. Closing her book, joesse leaned against the window. It had been more than half an hour since she got on the bus, and they were almost at the hot spring Vi. ¡°How have you been at Shiyupany recently?¡± When the car was extremely quiet, Qiao si suddenly heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice. She turned to look at him and nodded slightly. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. ¡± She had Zheng Zeyi to thank for this. If it wasn¡¯t for him, she would not have had the chance to enter Shiyupany and fulfill her dream. ¡°Thank you, Zheng Zeyi.¡± Joes said in a serious tone. The sudden gratitude stunned Zheng ze for a moment. Then, his lips curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in an extremely good mood. Before Zheng ze could say anything, joesse ruined his good mood.¡±But you¡¯re still Yang Yue Yue¡¯s cousin.¡± Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Youck too much exercise

At the mention of Yang Yue Yue, Zheng ze¡¯s hand on the steering wheel stopped moving. Fortunately, they were on a straight path, so there would not be any idents. ¡°Zheng Zeyi!¡± Qiao Si was shocked.¡±You¡¯ve controlled the direction well.¡± Seeing that the car was about to turn, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand on the steering wheel moved slightly, and the car returned to the right track. ¡°Is it because I mentioned Yang Yue Yue?¡± Joesse asked in confusion. When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi nced at her indifferently but did not say anything. He focused on driving. In an instant, the atmosphere in the car fell silent again. She did not know which sentence touched Zheng Zeyi¡¯s forbidden zone. Qiao si sighed and looked out of the car. After about four to five minutes, the car finally arrived at the hot spring Vi. The entrance of the vi was Grand and majestic. One look and one could tell that a lot of effort had been put into it. Although Joes was an amateur, she could tell that there was a lot of work done on the surface. He couldn¡¯t help but exim in his heart, this is indeed a good ce. As soon as Joes and Han Xiao got out of the car, they saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, who seemed to be leaving the hot spring Vi. The man was dressed in a gray suit. He had a slender figure and an extremely handsome face. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his facial features were well-defined. The man was slightly taken aback when he saw the two of them, then he nodded at Zheng Zeyi.¡±¡±President Zheng, long time no see.¡± ...... ¡°President Chen, long time no see.¡± Zheng Zeyi also smiled and greeted her. The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere seemed to have changed. Joesse sized up the man. Compared to Zheng Zeyi, he was much colder. A momentter, the man known as President Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.¡±President Zheng, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± With that, Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and made way for her as if he understood.¡±¡±Please, President Zheng.¡± Chief Chen nodded slightly and walked past the two of them. He exuded a cold aura, whether it was his actions or his words. This person ... Seemed a little familiar. After President Chen got into the car and left, joesse then turned her gaze to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, who was that person just now?¡± she asked curiously. Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and smiled.¡±¡±Why ... Are you curious?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just asking,¡± Joes only felt that the president Chen who had just left seemed a little familiar. However, her memories seemed to have been sealed and she could not recall anything no matter how hard she tried. Perhaps they had only met once. Zheng Zeyi did not reject her this time. Instead, he said calmly,¡±¡±His name is Chen zuolin, the president of Hengyuan investment. Have you heard of him?¡± Joesse had never even heard of this name before, let alone Hengyuan Investment Corporation. She shook her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve never heard of it. I¡¯m just a little curious. Alright, let¡¯s go in. ¡± There were many onlookers gathered outside the hot spring Vi. It had just opened for business, so the vi only received special guests. Qiao si si and Zheng ze Yi were a perfect match. As they approached the entrance, they attracted a lot of attention. Sensing everyone¡¯s gaze, joesse quickened her pace and pulled Zheng Zeyi into the hot spring Vi. The interior was decorated in an ancient style, just like the previous era. There were stone tables and chairs, and flowers and nts were nted there. The wind was blowing so hard that they were slightly bent. After entering, they followed a cobblestone path and came to the lobby, which was the registration area. At the front desk of the registration counter was ady who looked to be in her 20s. She had light makeup on and a sweet smile. Her eyes lit up when she saw Zheng Zeyi.¡±This way, please,¡± After saying that, he pointed to the registration form in front of him. ¡°Let¡¯s go, over there,¡± Joesse pulled Zheng Zeyi and walked over. As she walked, she sized up the clean and tidy lobby. Walking to the front desk, Joes smiled and asked,¡±¡±How do I register?¡± However, thedy at the front desk did not seem to notice her. Her eyes were fixed on Zheng ze, and the corners of her mouth were curved. Looking at her eyes that seemed to be glowing, joesse¡¯s eyes twitched. This was a woman who had been bewitched by Zheng ze. In addition to Zheng Zeyi, there were also many distinguished guests who hade to the hot spring Vi. The so-called registration was just filling in a name on the registration form. After all, they were not sure how many people woulde, so they had to prepare a private room or a single room in advance. Seeing that Qiao sisi was ignored, Zheng Zeyi could not help butugh. He knocked on the registration form with his well-defined fingers.¡±How do I register?¡± Thedy at the front desk quickly came back to her senses. She was no longer ignoring joesse as she said excitedly,¡±¡±Distinguished guest, just write your names on the registration form.¡± Thedy at the front desk was taken aback when she subconsciously mentioned the two of them. She gritted her teeth in exasperation and shot an unfriendly look at Joes, who was standing beside Zheng ze. Although the two of them came together, their actions were not very intimate. Thedy at the front desk saw that Zheng ze was dressed in branded clothes, while Joes was dressed in ordinary clothes. She could roughly guess what was going on with just one look. She was probably another woman who had gotten close to a rich second-generation heir. The front deskdy sighed in her heart. It was a pity that she didn¡¯t have the opportunity to have such a rich husband. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be able to distinguish between them so clearly ... Joes did not know what the receptionist was thinking. She only knew that she was being stared at for no reason, and her brows furrowed slightly. Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, wrote down their names on the registration form and asked,¡±¡±Is that enough?¡± ¡°Yes, customer.¡± Thedy at the front desk nodded and turned around to retrieve two sets of keys from her back.¡±¡±These are the two single rooms for you.¡± ¡°A single room?¡± Zheng Zeyi repeated, not very satisfied. How could a single room be more interesting than a double room? Upon seeing this, joesse quickly took the key from thedy at the front desk, even though she did not understand why thedy was so hostile. After all, she did not want to stay in a double room with Zheng ze. They had nothing to do with each other, and there was no need to guard against outsiders here. Naturally, there was no need to worry about anything, and there was no need to deliberately pretend to be an engaged couple. Qiao Si was holding two strings of single rooms and tugged at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s clothes.¡±¡±A single room is also good, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips slightly and did not say anything else. He lifted his feet and walked towards the corridor on the other side of the room at an extremely fast pace. ¡°Hey ... Wait for me,¡± Joes hurriedly jogged after him, and by the time she reached the room, she was already panting heavily. Zheng ze leaned against the wall and said rudely,¡±¡±Youck too much exercise. You can¡¯t make it after just a few steps.¡± Joes did not waste any energy exining herself. She patted her chest lightly and took in the two rooms. It was simr to a hotel, but it was much more spacious. Chapter 60 - Going to the hot spring

Chapter 60: Going to the hot spring

Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s single rooms were adjacent to each other. One was 1027 while the other was 1028. After passing the key to Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi calmed herself down, opened the door with the key, and walked in. The room was not much different from a hotel room, except that it felt more like a homestay. Almost all the daily necessities and some snacks were prepared on the table. There was even a hanger for hanging clothes. Joes took a bottle of water from the table, opened it, and gulped it down. She wiped the corners of her mouth and finally felt better. Perhaps Zheng Zeyi was right. He was indeedcking in training. ¡°Let¡¯s not think about it. Let¡¯s go outside and take a look ...¡± Jossi mumbled and pushed a certain person to the back of her mind. She pushed open the ss door and walked to the single hot spring outside the single room. She was stunned by the scene in front of her. The pool was filled with warm water, and the mist lingered around it. There were also a few pots of green nts on the side, exuding a faint fragrance. After leaving the room with heating, she could feel the cold outside. The hot spring Vi was built in this ce, and the temperature was lower than other ces, but it was also more suitable for soaking in the hot spring in this weather. If not for the hunger in her stomach, Joes would have changed into a bath towel and entered the hot spring. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± ...... The cell phone on the table rang. Joes snapped back to her senses and picked up the phone. It was a call from Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Come and eat.¡± The call was hung up before Joes could even reply to those simple words. Looking at the ¡°beep ... Beep ...¡± Phone, joesse felt a little helpless. She did not know what was wrong with Zheng Zeyi. After she took the key and left the room, she found Zheng Zeyi waiting for her outside the door. ¡°You were waiting for me.¡± Joes¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she ced the key into her pocket. Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and led her to the restaurant exclusive to the hot spring Vi. This was because this hot spring Vi did notck funds. The chefs they hired were also the best, and the food was excellent. It was wonderful to go to the hot spring after eating and resting. On the first day, all the guests were invited by the owner of the vi, so everyone had the right to have a private room in the restaurant. Qiao si si and Zheng ze arrived at the private room of the restaurant, which was already filled with steaming hot food. There were all kinds of seafood, vegetables, and meat. Every dish was ced exquisitely on the te, and it looked extremely appetizing. Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. After she sat down, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of soft, roasted beef. After taking a bite, the meat was tender, juicy, and soft. It was simply a rare delicacy. As expected, it was a top-ss hot spring Vi. Jossi had rarely tasted such a vor outside. After swallowing the beef, she began to pick up other dishes, trying to make sure that she had not cooked any of them. Zheng Zeyi could not help but smile as he looked at a certain someone who was immersed in the delicious food. He picked up his ss and took a sip of the fine wine. The delicious food on the table disappeared at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Joes was a little too full from eating. After taking a sip of orange juice, she decided to take a break. Hence, he took a bunch of grapes and ced them on a te as a pastime. Joesse, who had nothing else to do, looked up at Zheng Zeyi. Seeing that there was no oil on his te, she asked in confusion,¡±¡±You¡¯re not eating?¡± Zheng Zeyi swirled the fine wine in his ss. His eyes were slightly narrowed, but there was an irresistible charm in them. Perhaps it was because she had drunk some wine, but she looked extremely alluring. Joesse could not help but look away as she muttered the words ¡®clear heart¡¯. She could not be med for this. Zheng Zeyi was too devilish, just like God¡¯s most perfect work. A momentter, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was heard.¡±¡±There¡¯s a social eventter. You can go back to your room and soak in the hot spring after you¡¯re done eating.¡± His voice was slightly hoarse, and it made people feel numb. Joes felt an electric current run through her spine to her head, as if a feather was scratching her heart. She lowered her head to hide the blush on her face and nodded.¡±I know.¡± After quickly finishing the grapes, there was still a lot of delicious food left on the table. However, Joes was not in the mood and did not have the appetite to continue eating. Seeing that Zheng Zeyi had no intention of leaving, Jossi stood up and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go first, rest early.¡± Zheng ze put down his ss and smiled.¡±¡±You¡¯re ... Worried about me. ¡± Upon hearing that, Qiao si blinked her eyes. She did not understand what she had said to make Zheng Zeyi worry. As expected, he was too narcissistic! ¡°I¡¯m just being polite,¡± Joes pouted.¡±I¡¯m leaving.¡± With that, she left the restaurant¡¯s private room and walked towards her room. Little did she know that Zheng ze had been staring at her back. His eyes were filled withplicated emotions. There was a smile, and also ... A determination. After returning to her room, Qiao si si patted her cheeks. Zheng Zeyi was really a disaster. She did not drink any alcohol, but she looked like she was drunk. Joes paced around the room non-stop, treating it as a walk to digest. ¡°There¡¯ll probably be a lot of women at the dinner, right?¡± Joes mumbled to herself, not knowing why she suddenly thought of this question. The actions of the receptionist from earlier were still vivid in his mind. There were many women who had feelings for Zheng Zeyi. She wondered how many of them Zheng Zeyi would meet during this social gathering. As if she had suddenly realized something, Joes ¡®eyes widened and she quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of her thoughts. It was really strange. Why did she suddenly think of this question? Whatever Zheng Zeyi did had nothing to do with her. Even if there were 90 to 80 women, she would not be able to control them! Aftering to this conclusion, Joes heaved a sigh of relief and suppressed the strange emotion in her heart. ¡°I¡¯m not thinking about it anymore. Let¡¯s go to the hot spring. ¡± After mumbling to herself, Joes took a bath towel, took off her clothes, and walked to the pool outside the door. She didn¡¯t feel it when she was wearing long sleeves, but now she had changed into a short bath towel. The cold wind outside the door blew, and Joes shivered. She rubbed her arms and walked up the short stone stairs into the hot spring. A warm feeling immediately wrapped her whole body. The temperature of the hot spring was very warm. Leaning against the stone wall, Joes closed her eyes infort. It was apletely different world inside the pool than it was outside. It was like heaven inside. Joes¡¯s entire neck sank into the pool as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this moment. He could hear the rustling of the leaves in the wind. After closing his eyes, he could feel it more clearly. ¡°It¡¯s too warm ...¡± Joes sighedfortably and leaned against the stone wall, not wanting to move at all. She had made the right decision toe here. Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Why is it raining?

If it wasn¡¯t for Zheng Zeyi, she would not have been able toe to such a high-end hot spring Vi and enjoy the service of a single pool. Joesse opened her eyes, and a mist filled her vision like a fairy ¡®s, adding a hazy feeling to it. Deep sea ... For some reason, this word suddenly popped up in her mind. Hence, Joes thought about the design n as she enjoyed the hot spring. Although it wasn¡¯t as lively as when there were many people, it was still an excellent experience to enjoy the peace and quiet alone. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed. She couldn¡¯t soak in the hot spring for too long. After recovering from her daze and hearing the rm on her phone ring, she got up and sat on the stone steps to rest. There were two bottles of water on the stone steps, which were to be used to rehydrate, and a face mask. Joes put the mask on her face and drank half a bottle of water in one go. She was prepared to rest for a while before soaking in the water again. Then, she could go back to her room and sleepfortably. When it was about time, Joes entered the hot spring once again. She closed her eyes slightly and suddenly heard a very subtle ¡°crack¡± sound. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it was too quiet, she might not have been able to hear it. Joes opened her eyes and looked around, but she did not find anything. Maybe she heard it wrong ... ...... Ignoring this detail, joesse continued to enjoy the hot spring. It could relieve stress and fatigue, so she could not waste this opportunity. Another 20 minutes passed. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to leave the hot spring. After all, soaking in it for too long was bad for the body. Joes wrapped herself in a bath towel and left the pool. Her hair was tied up into a bun, so she did not touch the spring water. However, her body was dripping wet. The bath towel wrapped around her faintly discernible ample bosom, and her slender legs were full of water droplets, which were dripping down. Her skin was white and delicate. Her dainty feet gently stepped on the ground, making her look extremely adorable. A certain someone caught a glimpse of the beautying out of the bath from the bedroom and his breathing became a little hurried. However, Joes did not realize that there was another person in the room. She bent down to pick up the water bottle on the ground, her movements extremely seductive. Joes furrowed her brows in confusion. Why did she keep feeling like someone was looking at her? She swept the strange thoughts out of her mind, walked into the room with the water bottle, and stepped on the wooden board with her bare feet. And when she stood in the room, Joes was stunned. Zheng Zeyi was sitting on the pure white bed. His face was slightly red from drinking, and his eyes were dark, making one feel a sense of danger. There seemed to be a smile on her delicate facial features. Joes waspletely stunned. The hand holding the water bottle lost all strength and the bottle fell to the ground with a ¡°Dong¡±. ¡°Zheng ... Zheng Zeyi? What are you doing here?¡± Joes was shocked. After saying that, she quickly covered her chest, took the bathrobe beside her, and draped it over her body. Her movements were extremely fast. She was wondering why there were always people looking at her, but she did not expect Zheng Zeyi to sneak into the room. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes glowed with a dangerous light. The corners of his lips curled up as he pointed at the door and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re the one who didn¡¯t lock the door. ¡± At this moment, Joes had already put on her bathrobe, covering her beautiful figure. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, he could not help but look at the door. It was indeed not locked, and the key was still hanging in the keyhole. Joes could not help but Pat her head. No one else had such a memory. ¡°Can you go out now?¡± Joes ¡®clear voice rang out. After she closed the ss door, she leaned against the ss door and stared at Zheng Zeyi, who was sitting on the bed. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst ofughter. Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly, theny on the bed and sighedfortably.¡±¡±Why should I go out?¡± There was a brief silence in the room, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. Qiao si si did not expect Zheng Zeyi to ask such a question. She was so angry that she almostughed,¡±¡±This is my room. Do you want to sleep with me?¡± he asked. She blurted out, but she regretted it the moment she finished. Without waiting for Qiao SI¡¯s exnation, Zheng Zeyi sat up and said faintly,¡±¡±I think ... That¡¯s fine too.¡± Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s serious face, joesse immediately panicked and waved her hand.¡±¡±Don ¡®t, don¡¯ T. I¡¯m just joking. Don¡¯t take it seriously.¡± ¡°Joking?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes nodded her head heavily, her expression serious and solemn. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, after all, it¡¯s improper for men and women to touch each other. It¡¯s not good to stay overnight.¡± Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t listen to a single word of this exnation. He looked up at the sky outside and seemed a little tired. He got up and frowned, saying,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go back.¡± Qiao Si was stunned for a moment. She sized up Zheng Zeyi and asked,¡±¡±Do you want me to send you off?¡± After all, Zheng Zeyi reeked of alcohol so strongly that one could smell it even from such a distance. No one knew how much he had drunk. ¡°No need,¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head and did not ept the suggestion. With that, he left the room, his back straight and stylish, without a trace of instability. Joes suppressed the worry in her heart and mumbled,¡±¡±He should be fine.¡± When she saw that Zheng Zeyi had safely returned to her room, Joes stuck her head out to take a look and closed the door after she was sure. Turning on the LCD TV in the room, Joes sat and watched it for a while before leaning back on the sofa to rest, feeling a little drowsy. ¡°Boom boom boom!¡± A sudden p of thunder dispelled all the sleepiness! Joes was instantly jolted awake. She rubbed her eyes and looked out of the ss door. The sky was dark and filled with dark clouds. One could even see the shes of lightning, and bean-sized raindrops falling to the ground, making ¡°pa da pa da¡± sounds. ¡°Why is it raining ...¡± Joes looked at the weather forecast on her phone. It really did show that there would be a thunderstorm tonight, but she did not notice it. She went forward to draw the curtains of the ss door and turned on the tablemp by the bedside table. Only then did she feel much better. Just as Joes was about to go to sleep, she realized something. The backpack that contained a change of clothes for tomorrow did not seem to be in the room? After searching for a while, joesse helplessly held her forehead. As expected, she should be in Zheng ze¡¯s room. Because on the way, she didn¡¯t have time to take her luggage and it was taken away by him. After some thought, Qiao sisi pursed her lips and decided to go to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s room to get her luggage back. Even if he didn¡¯t pick it up now, he still wouldn¡¯t have a change of clothes when he woke up the next morning. Besides, it was just taking her luggage, so there was no need to resist. After Qiao si concluded, she got up and left the room. She went to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s room. Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62-face as ck as coal

Jossi stood at the door and listened. It seemed to be very quiet inside, and there was no movement. ¡°Knock, knock!¡± After knocking on the door, Qiao si leaned in to listen. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice came from the room, slightly muffled. ¡°Come in,¡± Upon hearing this, Joes pulled down the door handle and gently pushed the door open. Just as she was about to exin her purpose, she raised her head and her eyes widened. Zheng Zeyi seemed to have just taken a shower. His jet-ck hair was still dripping with crystal clear water, and he was covered with a white towel. The water droplets slid down her delicate face, all the way to her chest, and then into a mysterious area. There was a loose bath towel wrapped around her waist, and she suspected that the bath towel would fall off with any random step. Joes blinked her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows as he wiped his hair with a towel and asked with a chuckle. Joes was instantly flustered and took a deep breath to calm herself down. How could she have known that the moment she entered, she would see a picture of a beautiful maning out of the bath! Smiling in embarrassment, Jossi pointed at her bag at the corner of the wall.¡±¡±I ... I¡¯m here to get a change of clothes.¡± Zheng Zeyi knew what was going on. He curled his lips but did not say anything. ...... Joesse controlled herself to not look, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave the room. Her reaction was much better than when Zheng Zeyi was in her room. Just as she turned around, her wrist was caught. Feeling the force on her wrist, Joes turned around unwillingly and revealed a smile.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. Seeing that she was about to run again, he pulled her over and held her in his arms. A strong masculine scent assaulted her senses, and Joes instantly froze. ¡°Let me go!¡± Joesse¡¯s face was flushed red as she frowned and struggled. However, her strength was too weakpared to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s and it was of no use. The hot air blew into her ears. The distance between the two was extremely ambiguous, and the air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles. Zheng ze hugged her for a while before letting her go. Joes stood at the side and looked at him warily. ¡°You don¡¯t have to look at me like that,¡± After hearing this, the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. Seeing the smile on his lips, she had no intention of staying any longer. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be leaving,¡± she said. After she finished speaking, she did not give anyone a chance to react and turned to leave. Zheng Zeyi had no intention of stopping her and leaned against the wall as he watched her leave. There was a gentle smile in his eyes, which he had never seen before. ¡­¡­¡­ After leaving Zheng Zeyi¡¯s room, joesse ced her bag that contained a change of clothes on the table and buried herself in the soft bed. However, she started to recall everything she had seen earlier-Zheng Zeyi¡¯s exquisite face and his muscr chest. Joes¡¯s face was a little hot and she quickly shook her head to get rid of all these unhealthy thoughts. ¡°Sleep, sleep!¡± Joes said to herself in her heart as she got on the bed and took off her slippers. Perhaps it was because she had been in the hot spring for too long, but she soon fell asleep, and there was a gentle breathing sound on the bed. A thunderstorm always made people sleep peacefully. At this moment, the sound of the rain outside had also be softer, and it was still pattering. Compared to just now, the Thunder had stopped. Very soon, it was the morning of the next day. The air was very fresh after the rain. Joes stretchedzily and opened the ss door. The green nts outside were covered in dewdrops. There was a fresh and natural aura that made one¡¯s mood involuntarily be better. With her luggage, Qiao sisi left the room. Coincidentally, Zheng Zeyi also came out from the other room. The two of them looked at each other. Zheng Zeyi had changed into a ck suit and a simple yet stylish tie. It was the gift that Qiao si had given him. He exuded the aura of a noble and looked extremely dangerous. Looking at that tie, joesse¡¯s mood changed a little, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. ¡°Morning.¡± Joes blinked her eyes as if she had forgotten about yesterday¡¯s incident. She greeted him in a nonchnt manner, while Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly in response. After breakfast, Jossi drove back to city H. She was lucky enough to get two free vouchers. If there was a chance, he could try again next time. The short trip to the hot spring ended just like that. Joes leaned against the car window in deep thought, a faint smile on her face. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had to go to work tomorrow, she would have wanted to stay longer. ¡°Ding ...¡± The phone in the car suddenly rang. Qiao si looked up and saw that it was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone. The words ¡®assistant li¡¯ were written on it. Zheng ze drove with one hand and picked up the phone. He put it on speaker and put it aside. ¡°President, the president of Hengyuan investment, who was supposed to be here to discuss the coboration, is here. He¡¯s waiting for you in the guest room.¡± Assistant li reported respectfully. Upon hearing this, Zheng ze¡¯s eyes flickered and he replied,¡±¡±Got it. I¡¯ll be at thepany soon. Make him a cup of tea. Have you prepared the documents?¡± ¡°President, all the information is ready. We¡¯re just waiting for you.¡± Assistant Li said. ¡°Alright!¡± Zheng Zeyi smirked in satisfaction.¡±Wait for me to get to the office.¡± After that, the call was hung up. Joes, who was listening to everything from the side, could not help but feel puzzled. The president of Hengyuan investments ... Wasn¡¯t that Chen zuolin, whom she had just seen at the hot spring Vi yesterday? He didn¡¯t expect the two of them to work together, but it was normal for them to work with toppanies in the business world. ¡°Why don¡¯t you drop me off by the road and go back to thepany first? I can find a car and go back by myself. ¡± Joes nced out of the window and said. Since Zheng Zeyi had to rush back to thepany, she did not need to trouble him to send her home. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi did not think so. He looked ahead and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. You can stay in thepany for a while. We¡¯ll go back together after you¡¯re done.¡± She was about to reject him, but when she saw Zheng ze¡¯s expression, she swallowed her words. Forget it, it¡¯s fine to go and take a look. At least, she had not been to Zheng Zeyi¡¯spany, Qiao sisiforted herself in her heart. The traffic was heavy on the road, but Zheng ze was good at driving and made use of every opportunity. After overtaking countless cars, Joes finally could not help butugh out loud. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, did you see the expression of the person behind us? his face is as ck as coal.¡± Joes chuckled and nced at the rear mirror. ¡°I¡¯m good at driving, isn¡¯t that normal?¡±Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows. The moment she finished speaking, Joes instantly lost the mood to reply. It would have been fine if he was a little humble, but he was so narcissistic that she did not want to reply at all. Five minutester, the car stopped at the entrance of Zheng Zeyi¡¯spany. Qiao Si was the first to open the door and get out of the car. Chapter 63

Chapter 63: He has a fianc¨¦e

Standing in front of the towering building, Joes felt that she was so small. Zheng Zeyi¡¯spany was huge, but she did not know much about it, so she knew very little. Thepany was involved in many industries, including food and beverage, hotels, Electronic Technology, and so on. It was hard to imagine that Zheng Zeyi, who was less than 30 years old, was in charge of such arge listedpany. It was really a terrifying power. At this moment, Qiao sisi was indeed a little impressed by Zheng Zeyi. Just then, Zheng Zeyi got out of the car with his car keys. Seeing her standing there in a daze, he patted her head. ¡°What are you doing?e in with me.¡± With that said, he lifted his long legs and walked in. Joes hurriedly jogged after him. The interior of thepany was also simple and fashionable. Jossi could not help but sigh as she took the elevator from the first floor to the 19th floor. All the employees were extremely dedicated to their work. From top to bottom, they were in good order. This was the strength of a bigpany. Following Zheng Zeyi into his office, joesse scanned the interior and asked,¡±¡±Should I wait for you here?¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you back after we¡¯re done discussing the coboration.¡± Zheng ze took out a document from the drawer as he spoke. Qiao sisi nodded obediently and watched Zheng Zeyi go to the guest room next door. ...... Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office was also very clean and tidy. The main color scheme was abination of ck and white. The bookshelf, desk, and sofa were all ced in perfect order. Joes sat on the sofa for a while before taking out her phone. There were many messages that she had yet to reply to. They were basically all from Chen Anna. Anna Chen: ¡°how was the trip to the hot spring?¡± Did you get the free vouchers? Jossi could not help butugh when she saw this. She quickly typed a few words in reply as a response. Two free vouchers, this time it was considered a profit. While he was chatting with Anna Chen, the office door suddenly opened.¡±¡±Squeak ...¡± The sudden sound of the door opening made Qiao si look up. It was not Zheng Zeyi, but another unfamiliar woman. She was wearing a long green dress and had light makeup on. She was slightly stunned when she saw her sitting on the sofa in the office. This woman? Jossi suddenly recalled. No wonder she found this person so familiar. It turned out that this was Lin Xiu ¡®er, a well-known female star, who had acted in a TV series before. After Lin Xiu ¡®er entered the office, the ss door also closed automatically, and the two women looked at each other without saying anything. ¡°And you are?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er asked with a frown, feeling a little strange in her heart. Zheng Zeyi hated being in contact with women the most. Why was this woman in front of him sitting in the office so openly? After Joes heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was a little hesitant about whether she should announce that they were engaged. After thinking for a while, he still didn¡¯t say it. ¡°I¡¯m Jossi. You¡¯re ... Lin Xiu ¡®er?¡± Joes asked. Lin Xiu ¡®er was a little surprised, but when she remembered that she was a well-known female star, her doubts disappeared. It was normal for this person to know her. Lin Xiu ¡®er nced at the office and asked with a bad attitude,¡±¡±Who are you? why are you in Zeyi¡¯s office?¡± As his ¡®current girlfriend¡¯, joesse pursed her lips and thought of a rather clumsy reason.¡±¡±I have something to talk to him about. He told me to wait here.¡± ¡°You mean, Zeyi said that?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s expression turned even uglier. Those who did not know what was going on would have thought that Joes had done something to her. Her face was so dark that it looked like water could drip out of it. There seemed to be sparks flying between the two of them, and the atmosphere gradually became indescribable. Joes looked very calm on the surface, but in reality, she had many thoughts in her mind. Her gaze fell on Lin Xiu ¡®er. She wondered how the two of them ended up together. After a moment of silence, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s slightly sharp voice sounded,¡±¡±Forget it, I¡¯m not going to waste my time with you. I¡¯ll go look for Zeyi.¡± After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the office. He walked towards the conference room next door. Even if Joes wanted to stop him, she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that his expression would not look too badter. As expected, Jossi could hear themotion from the meeting room next door even though they were separated by a wall. It seemed like there was quite amotion. A few minutester, Lin Xiu ¡®er could be seen through the ss door, being led out of thepany by assistant li. She was so angry that she stomped her feet in her high heels, almost unable to calm down. Unfortunately, she was a public figure. Lin Xiu ¡®er forced herself to calm down and left Zheng Zeyi¡¯spany with assistant li in a Huff. Upon seeing this, Jossi was curious about what had just happened. Unfortunately, thepany¡¯s soundproofing was too good, so she did not hear anything. He should have gone out to take a look. Lin Xiu ¡®er must have panicked when she saw her, so she went to find Zheng Zeyi without a care. However, she did not expect that she would be even more hated. Zheng Zeyi was in the middle of discussing a coboration with the president of Hengyuan investment. No one would be nice to someone who had barged into the meeting room. Joes could not help but sigh. She picked up her phone and sent a few messages to Chen Anna. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Lin Xiu ¡®er took the elevator and left thepany with an unsightly expression on her face. Her back view was quite embarrassed. When he returned home, he realized that Yang Yue Yue was also there. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er was already in a bad mood, but when she saw Yang Yue Yue¡¯s existence, she restrained herself a little. The two of them had met when Lin Xiu ¡®er and Zheng Zeyi were still together. Because they had simr interests, they could be considered good friends. Or perhaps it should be said that their hearts were more sinister. ¡°Sister Xiu ¡®er,¡± Yang Yue Yueined,¡±I¡¯m here to tell you something. Cousin, he ... He ...¡± After stammering for a long time, Yang Yue Yue did not say anything, which made people anxious for no reason. Lin Xiu ¡®er threw her bag on the sofa and asked with a frown,¡±¡±Stop stammering, what happened?¡± Yang Yue Yue pretended to be hesitant, but she finally gritted her teeth and told him everything,¡±¡±Sister Xiu ¡®er, cousin has a new girlfriend, and it¡¯s not an ordinary girlfriend. She has already announced that she is his fianc¨¦e.¡± She was referring to the incident at the banquet. If Zheng Zeyi had not brought Joes to attend old master Zheng¡¯s banquet, Yang Yue Yue would not have thought of telling Lin Xiu ¡®er about it. After all, Lin Xiu ¡®er was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend, and the reason for their breakup was a little awkward, but Yang Yue Yue did not know about this. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er immediately felt as if she had been struck by lightning from a fairy tale. Her face froze, and she didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. The next second, she grabbed Yang Yue Yue¡¯s arm and asked sternly,¡±¡±What did you just say? Zeyi has a fianc¨¦e?¡± Chapter 64

Chapter 64: I was right

Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s voice was extremely sharp, and her face was a little distorted at the moment. It waspletely impossible to tell that she was a well-known female star who was usually beautiful. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s arm was in pain from being grabbed. She gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Sister Xiu ¡®er, you¡¯re hurting me.¡± After saying that, he quickly lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes, afraid that he would be discovered. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er took a deep breath and let go of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s hand. She asked again,¡±¡±Exin to me, what¡¯s going on? Why did ze Yi suddenly get a fianc¨¦e?¡± At the mention of Qiao si Si, yang Yue Yue¡¯s Chatterbox suddenly opened up. She hated Qiao si to the core. The reason why he came to find Lin Xiu ¡®er this time was very simple. Only by joining forces could they take revenge on Joes. ¡°Cousin brought that woman to the birthday party to announce that she¡¯s his fianc¨¦e.¡± Yang Yue Yue said through gritted teeth. When she thought of the humiliation she had suffered that day, she wanted to tear him apart. Unfortunately, with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s presence and the fact that the Zheng family¡¯s old master Zheng knew about it, Yang Yue Yue naturally could not be the one to stand out. After Lin Xiu ¡®er heard it, her face twisted as she said,¡±¡±Fianc¨¦e ... Very well, since she dared to seduce ze Yi, this woman!¡± Seeing Lin Xiu ¡®er gnashing her teeth in hatred, Yang Yue Yue was somewhat satisfied in her heart. This was the result she wanted. She alone was not enough to bring down Joes, but with Lin Xiu ¡®er, it would be different. ...... ¡°Sister Yue Yue, you should have a n, right? how are we going to deal with that woman?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er said with her eyes slightly narrowed. At this moment, there was only hatred in his heart. Hearing that, Yang Yue Yue moved closer. There was no one in the vi, but she still chose to speak softly, as if she was guilty. ¡°Sister Xiu ¡®er, you¡¯re a public figure. We can use this opportunity to defame that woman and make her lose face in front of the public!¡± She was clearly a sweet-looking person, but when she said these words, Yang Yue Yue did not hesitate at all. After Lin Xiu ¡®er heard this, her eyes flickered, but she was somewhat moved. The two of them looked at each other and started to discuss how they could plot a scheme to make Joes step into it. It was broad daylight, but the chiffon curtains in the room were indeed closed, as if to hide the shady deal that was going on. ¡­¡­¡­ Five dayster. Joes came to work as usual, but the atmosphere today was different, as if something was going to happen. ¡°Lin ya, what happened?¡± Joes asked curiously. In her eyes, Lin ya was a gossiper who knew a little about everything that happened in thepany. So, after sensing the strange atmosphere, she came to ask Lin ya. Lin ya smiled mysteriously and said,¡±¡±I almost forgot that sisi didn¡¯t know you. I heard that there¡¯s a big announcement today.¡± ¡°Something big?¡± Joes asked in confusion. Then, he thought of the designer Competition that he mentioned earlier. Could it be that the big event today was to announce thispetition? If there were some questions in his heart, he would feel better about the answers. Lin ya exined,¡±¡±The designer Competition that I mentioned to youst time?¡± Sure enough! Joesse¡¯s eyes lit up as she spoke, instantly filled with light and hope. ¡°You¡¯ll announce it today?¡± Lin ya pursed her lips and nodded slightly.¡±¡±I heard that if nothing goes wrong, it will be today. Previously, it was because of some problems in the cooperation that it was dyed until now.¡± Joesse had an expression of sudden realization and more or less understood what he meant. The general idea was that this so-called Designer Competition was not an internalpetition organized by Shiyupany. Instead, it was held in cooperation with other designpanies, so there were too many twists and turns in it, and there were even more details to be scrutinized. It was not surprising that it had dragged on for so long. Joes and Lin ya chatted for a while and got to know the general information before getting back to work. Instead of thinking about things that had not happened yet, it was better to finish the things on hand first. He was busy all the way until lunch break. ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s go eat.¡± Lin ya urged joesse. Just as everyone was about to head to the cafeteria, the CEO¡¯s Secretary came over and stopped everyone. The Secretary cleared her throat and said,¡±the president said that the designer Competition will be held in two days. There are a total of fivepanies participating in thispetition. If you want to participate, you can go to the manager of the design department to fill in the registration form. The registration deadline is two dayster.¡± With that, the Secretary turned around and left, waving his sleeves without leaving a single cloud behind. It wasn¡¯t just Jossi, everyone else in the office lost their appetite as well, their eyes shining with a strong light. The chattering of discussions rose and fell, and the entire office was slightly noisy. ¡°Sisi, I was right!¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes lit up, and she rubbed her chin with her fair fingers. Joes blinked her eyes and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go eat first. We¡¯ll take a look at the registration form andpetition schedule after eating. ¡± Although the CEO¡¯s Secretary had announced thepetition, the exact location and method of thepetition were still unknown. He had to get the registration form first before he could know. Qiao si si and Lin ya went to the canteen to finish their lunch as quickly as possible, then went straight to the manager of the design department to get the registration form. There were quite a few people, and many of them hade to collect their registration forms before eating, afraid of missing out. After a few minutes, joesse and grace retrieved the registration forms and returned to their seats in the office. ¡°Let me see ...¡± Joes mumbled as she picked up the registration form and thepetition schedule and looked at them carefully. Thispetition was jointly organized by five designpanies, with Shiyu as the organizer. Thispetition was called the jewelry designpetition, and there were no restrictions on the types of designs. At this point, Joes nodded her head slightly. The threshold was not considered high, so there should be quite a number of people registering. Looking down, the schedule was also clearly written. Thepetition would begin when the registration deadline was up. The designers participating in thepetition would need to send their drafts to the organizer¡¯s email. The first round was an elimination round, and only 100 works could be shortlisted. Eliminated designers would not receive any prizes, not even constion prizes. In the second round, only 30 works would be left behind. The rest of the works that were decided by the judges would receive a constion prize. As for what the prize was, it didn¡¯t state it. Joes tightened her grip on the paper. It was not much different from what she had expected, but there were fivepanies participating in thepetition ... The number of people added up was far more than that. It could be said that the number of works that were eliminated in the first round was extremely high. Thest round, which was the third round, would be to select five works from the remaining 30 to be shortlisted for the final awards. Chapter 65

Chapter 65: I¡¯ll be waiting for you then

The first ce was limited to one piece of art, and so on. The second ce had two pieces, and the third ce had three. Moreover, the reward for first ce was extremely generous. Even Joes could not help but feel a little tempted when she saw it. The designer would receive a prize of 200000 Yuan for the design that was nominated for first ce in the designer Competition! 200,000 Yuan was not a small amount. In addition, Yunqi would be rewarded with a ten-day holiday, all of which would be paid by thepany. However, for the jewelry that was designed, the agency rights had to be handed over to thepany, and the name was signed by the designer. Inparison, the rewards for those behind were not as generous. The second prize was 100000 Yuan each, while the third prize was 50000 Yuan in cash. After reading through all the details, Joris¡¯s gaze fell on the registration form. The registration of real name information, such as name, home address, telephone number, etc., Only needed to be filled in and handed over to the design department. The registration waspleted. ¡°Sisi, have you finished reading?¡± Lin ya, who had just finished reading the schedule, was still a little unsatisfied. Joes nodded.¡±I¡¯m done. Little ya, do you want to participate in thepetition?¡± Lin ya smiled and snapped her fingers. She held a pen in her hand and said,¡±¡±I have to sign up. Although I might not be able to get first ce, there¡¯s no harm in trying.¡± Designers petitions were quitemon, but such arge-scale and formal one was rtively rare. ...... At least ... This was an opportunity. After some thought, Joes understood Lin ya¡¯s thoughts. Seeing that Lin ya was seriously filling out the registration form, she picked up a pen and started filling it out as well. ¡°Zhenzhen ...¡± The two of them wrote furiously and filled in the registration form in a few minutes. After handing the registration form to the manager of the design department, Joes heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge rock had been lifted off her chest. ¡­¡­¡­ Time passed very quickly. Two days after the registration deadline, the registration deadline was on Thursday. This time, the CEO¡¯s Secretary came to everyone¡¯s office again and confirmed the application forms. ¡°From today on, it willst for ten days. The participating designers must send their design drawings to thepany¡¯s mailbox as an email, and thepany will pick them up. The results of thepetition will be announced on thepany¡¯s official website. ¡± The CEO¡¯s Secretary said word by word, and the end was very clear. Joesse had a draft in her mind, but she did not know how to draw it out yet.¡±Deep sea¡± was a series of jewelry. As it would be moreplicated to use as apetition item, Joes had given up on using ¡®deep sea¡¯. Anyway, she had a lot of ideas, and the only thing shecked was time to draw. After the CEO¡¯s Secretary finished speaking, everyone in the office more or less understood. There were so manypanies participating in thepetition this time. Although Shiyu was the organizer, it wasn¡¯t easy for the designers under her to stand out. In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. ¡°Little ya, good luck. See you tomorrow.¡± Joes smiled faintly and cheered Lin ya on. The two of them had the best rtionship in the entirepany, so it was only right for them to support each other. Lin ya nodded.¡±You too. Don¡¯t miss the time limit. We¡¯ll only receive drafts within ten days.¡± ¡°I know, I know,¡± After saying goodbye to good person Lian, Jossi put the match schedule into her backpack and walked in the direction of the apartment. At present, she only had one word in mind for the participating works: Clouds. It was just an illusory idea for the time being. It would take some time to really express the word in the jewelry design. The deep sea series could be put aside for the time being. After returning to the apartment, Qiao si scanned the living room but did not see Zheng Zeyi. After all, he was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. Perhaps he had something to do and left. Thinking of this, joesse did not care anymore. ¡°Ding, Ling, Ling ...¡± Her phone suddenly rang. Joes picked up the phone and saw that there was no phone number disyed. She frowned slightly but still picked it up.¡±Hello, Who are you?¡± The buzzing sound of electric current on the other end of the phone was inexplicably strange. It was already evening, and the sky was already dark. There were not many pedestrians outside the apartment. Joes pursed her lips subconsciously, feeling a little strange. She asked again,¡±¡±May I ask who you are ...¡± ¡°Surprise!¡± All of a sudden, a clear and loud female voice rang out from the phone. Joes was shocked and took a while to react. It was Chen Anna¡¯s doing. ¡°Why would you make such a joke if you have nothing better to do?¡± Joes said unhappily.¡±I was scared to death.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. ¡± Chen Anna stuck out her tongue yfully, but Joes could not see it. Seeing the calm tone on the other end, Chen Anna thought of a possibility,¡±¡±Sisi, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve forgotten?¡± Hearing that, Jossi was filled with doubts. What did she forget? Before he could ask, Chen Anna answered,¡±¡±It¡¯s your birthday today. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Upon hearing the word ¡®birthday¡¯, joesse was slightly stunned, the emotions in her eyesplicated. Birthday ... He had really forgotten about that. Ever since she left that oppressive home, Joes had rarely celebrated her birthday. It was only after she met Anna Chen that she resumed her birthday celebration. He had been too busy with work recently and had forgotten about this matter for a long time. He didn¡¯t expect Chen Anna to remember it so clearly. Suppressing her thoughts, Joes chuckled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already forgotten about it, but you still remember. ¡± After Chen Anna heard this, she suddenly said unhappily,¡±¡±Nonsense, you¡¯re the only bestie. I¡¯ve been busy with work these few days and can¡¯t prepare for your birthday for the time being. I¡¯ll help you prepare it when I¡¯m free in a few days. ¡± A warm feeling rose in Joes ¡®heart. Although Anna Chen could not see it, she still revealed a sweet smile. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be waiting for you then.¡± The two of them chatted for a while and only hung up when it was veryte. ncing at the sky outside, joesse lost the mood to prepare dinner. The designer Competition had already started, so it was better to finish the draft first. Joes held the design drafts and stayed in the room for a while. The tip of her pen was pressed against the paper, but she did not know how to start drawing. Yun ... As she thought of this word, Jossi imagined what it would be like to bring out this word to its fullest. Perhaps, he could give it a try. Joes picked up a pencil and drew two earrings on the nk paper. However, there was only an outline. She scribbled furiously, drawing the outline of the earring so vividly that it was as ethereal as the clouds. It didn¡¯t have a fixed shape, which was very suitable for the word ¡°cloud.¡± After the rough sketch was done, Jossi picked up the design draft and looked at it carefully. She could not help but nod in satisfaction. Chapter 66

Chapter 66: I¡¯m just here to watch the fun

After putting down the design drafts, the next thing that joesse had to do was to Polish and perfect the design. This pair of earrings was her work for the designer Competition, but there was no need to rush. She could take her time. As the old saying goes, slow work makes fine work. Joesse was in an extremely good mood. She looked through the design drafts a few times and thought to herself that it was indeed her birthday. The draft actually went so smoothly. ¡°Ding dong!¡± At this moment, the doorbell of the apartment suddenly rang, and it was particrly clear in the quiet atmosphere. Joesse turned around in confusion. It was already sote ... Could it be that Zheng Zeyi was back? She thought about it for a while and got up to open the door. Through the peephole, she saw a man in a delivery man¡¯s uniform standing outside. That was weird, Jossi did not order any takeaway at all. She picked up her phone and saw a message from Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi: ¡°here¡¯s the thing. Happy Birthday.¡± It was just a few short words, but it caused Joss¡¯s emotions to go through countless ups and downs. At this moment, she was extremelyplicated. She had never thought that Zheng Zeyi would actually care about her birthday and even get someone to give her something. ...... After opening the door, Jossi peeked out and said politely,¡±¡±Hello,¡± he said. The delivery man returned to his senses and quickly handed over the paper box in his hand.¡±¡±Hello, this is your stuff.¡± The weight of the cardboard box was beyond her imagination, and Joes almost lost her grip on it. Fortunately, there was a cab beside her, and she ced the cardboard box on it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± The deliveryman didn¡¯t dy any further after delivering the food and quickly left the apartment. ¡°You ... Alright.¡± Joesse pursed her lips. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, she did not stop him. He had wanted to ask Zheng Zeyi how he had gotten him to send him home, but he did not have the chance to do so now. After turning on the lights in the kitchen, joesse carried the boxes into the kitchen. When she opened them, she saw a cake and a lunchbox. There was a variety of dishes, and all of them were steaming hot. Joesse had not eaten her dinner to begin with, so when she saw such a sumptuous meal, she could not help but pick up her chopsticks. The cake wasn¡¯t big, but it was exquisitely made. After finishing the food, Jossi burped and took a bite of the cake with a spoon. The cream was sweet. It was as if she had melted, and the sweetness reached the bottom of her heart, making it tremble. Joes did not know why her heart was touched. She only knew that she had spent this birthday alone. But inparison, it was still beautiful. Stars twinkled in the night sky, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the night breeze was cool, making people feel at ease. ¡­¡­¡­ The designer Competition had been going on for several days, and many designers had already submitted their drafts. Joes¡¯s earring design was still in the process of being polished. As long as thest step waspleted, it could be handed over to thepany. ¡°Xiao Ya, how¡¯s your design?¡± Joes asked curiously. Lin ya had been running home the past few days as soon as she got off work. She didn¡¯t stop at all, which showed how much she cared about thepetition. It wasn¡¯t just her, the other designers were the same. The designer Competition was a chance for the carp to leap over the Dragon¡¯s Gate. If the design was good enough to catch Xiang Jinyu¡¯s eye, the result would bepletely different. And even if it wasn¡¯t for their future, everyone had to give it their all for the prize money. At the mention of the design, Lin ya sighed slightly, not in a good mood.¡±¡±Maybe I don¡¯t have much inspiration recently, so I¡¯m not satisfied with the draft.¡± After saying that, he grabbed his hair like he was going crazy and said in frustration,¡±¡±I¡¯m in a hurry to go home as soon as I get off work. Otherwise, I won¡¯t have time to draw a draft.¡± Joes patted her back in a consoling manner,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be so anxious. Sometimes, you won¡¯t be able to draw anything good if you¡¯re impatient. ¡± This was a lesson that she had learned through blood and tears. In the past, Joes had also gone mad because of this. However, the more frustrated he was, the more dissatisfied he was with the drawing. In the end, he simply gave up. Only when one¡¯s mood was calm could the jewelry drawn be beautiful. Lin ya naturally understood this. She took a deep breath and nodded heavily.¡±¡±I know, sisi. I¡¯ll try again tonight. There are still three days left. If I can¡¯t make it in time, I¡¯ll give up.¡± It would be irresponsible of him to hand in unfinished work. Joes smiled slightly, not knowing what to say, but her gaze made Lin ya feel at ease. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Suddenly, a voice caught their attention. It came from the other end of the office. It seemed like there was an argument going on. Joes looked up and saw the Furious Wei Ya with a pile of shredded paper at her feet. ¡°What am I doing? Wei Ya, you¡¯re talking bad about me behind my back and making things difficult for me in front of the leader. Do you really think I don¡¯t know?¡± The other woman was furious. With just a nce, it seemed like he could see what had happened. The two of them continued to argue. Jossi narrowed her eyes slightly. This situation ... Was the design drafts torn? The pile of shredded paper under Wei Ya¡¯s feet should be the design drafts. She was usually arrogant and looked down on others, but this woman was not a kind person. She was not going to let go of any small mistakes. ¡°Do you have any evidence?¡± Wei Ya was furious. The woman sneered, as if she had expected it. ¡°You dare to do it, but you don¡¯t dare to admit it. I really look down on you. If you have the ability, you can disclose this matter. I¡¯m really not afraid.¡± After that, the woman strode out of the office, leaving Wei Ya to face the shredded paper on the ground. Wei Ya picked up a corner of the paper scraps on the ground, and as if she had sensed it, she looked straight at Joes. The two of them looked at each other, baffled. Joes frowned and scanned her surroundings. Almost everyone was looking at Wei Ya, but she was the only one who noticed her. It didn¡¯t matter, just look, it wouldn¡¯t hurt. Jossi pouted and turned to face herputer, no longer caring about Wei Ya¡¯s situation. Lin ya was a little excited and said,¡±¡±Sisi, Wei Ya¡¯s design drafts were torn up by that female colleague.¡± Looking at her smiling face, Joes could not help but ask,¡±¡±Her design drafts were torn. Why are you gloating over her misfortune?¡± Lin ya¡¯s face was full of expression as she said,¡±¡±Wei Ya is usually so crazy. Many people don¡¯t like her, but few dare to fight her. I¡¯m just watching the fun.¡± The female colleague just now should have some background, as she was not afraid of Wei Ya at all. Otherwise, tearing up the design drafts was no small matter. Jossi had recently learned a lot about the gossip in thepany. She threw the gossip out of her mind and looked at theputer screen quietly. Chapter 67

Chapter 67: The more I think about it, the weirder I feel

The day before the deadline was just around the time that Joes had finished polishing the design drafts. When she went to work in the morning, she sent the manuscript in the envelope to thepany¡¯s email. This was considered submission. Joes smiled faintly and started to look forward to the results of thispetition. When the time came, she would definitely pay more attention to the situation on the official website. What she didn¡¯t notice was that after she left the mailbox, a sneaky figure sneaked up to it ... Before the deadline for thepetition, Lin ya had also sessfully submitted her design draft, and she couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Sisi, I¡¯m so nervous.¡± Lin ya patted her chest. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous,¡± Joes consoled.¡±The results will be out in a few days. It¡¯ll be over soon.¡± Even though this was the case, he was still a little excited and nervous about the results. As the two of them were whispering, Wei Ya happened to pass by, and a breeze blew as she walked. Unlike the usual Wei Ya, she seemed to be more mboyant today, with a slightly proud smile on her face. Joes took a quick nce and then looked away, not knowing what had happened to Wei Ya today. The incident of stealing manuscripts was too shocking, and Joes did not think of this. ...... In the next few days, thepetition draft was being reviewed. Today was the day the results of the first round of thepetition were announced. In the apartment, Zheng Zeyi was leisurely drinking tea, while Joes was holding theputer at the side, looking a little nervous. ¡°Stop looking, it¡¯s not time for the announcement yet.¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at a certain woman who was rubbing her hands and smiled helplessly. ¡°I know, I know,¡± Joes¡¯s attention was on theputer screen. She answered casually and did not notice Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression at all. The time on the needle passed by little by little, and soon it was 12 o¡¯ clock, which was when the results of the first round were announced. Looking at the time, joesse had a death-defying expression on her face. She clicked on the refresh button and the website started to refresh. Perhaps it was because of the inte speed, but the website was only refreshed after a long time. Joes stared intently at theputer screen, as if she was going to bore a hole through it. The first page of the website was a list of the designers who passed the first round and the names of the designers who passed the second round. After scrolling down row by row, joesse saw Lin ya¡¯s name and couldn¡¯t help but feel happy. This girl was worried that others would look down on the design drafts, but little did she know that she had already advanced to the second round. Continuing to read, joesse even saw Wei Ya¡¯s name. She pursed her lips and skipped over it. She couldn¡¯t deny that he was capable. A total of 30 designers made it to the second round. Even though she was already at the secondst row, Joes still did not see her name. She clenched her fists. ¡®It¡¯s okay, maybe he¡¯s just in thest row,¡¯she consoled herself. In thest row ... There was still no one. Joes was in disbelief as she pulled the page to the top and looked at it again. He looked at the names carefully, not missing a single one. This time, Jossi waspletely certain that she had not advanced to the second round. With this clear understanding, a sense of loss lingered in his mind, and he didn¡¯t even think about it. With her fingers still on the mouse, Joes lowered her head slightly to hide the disappointment in her eyes. She thought she could at least advance to the second round, but she didn¡¯t expect to be eliminated in the first round. He was still overconfident ... Joesughed bitterly, her heart filled with disappointment. She did not even have the mood to speak. After turning off herputer, she got up and prepared to return to her room. She wanted to be alone for a while. Zheng Zeyi frowned when he realized that Qiao sisi was acting strangely. He took two steps forward and grabbed her wrist. ¡°You didn¡¯t pass?¡± The two simple words made Joes even more bitter. She lowered her eyes, nodded slightly, and said softly,¡±¡±Yes ... I was eliminated.¡± After she finished speaking, she shook off Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and returned to her room alone. Zheng Zeyi looked at Qiao sisi¡¯s back and was deep in thought. He could not help but nce at theputer on the table and turned it on. Even though he did not treat joesse well, he still had some understanding of her design skills. Otherwise, even if he rmended Qiao si to enter Jin Yu¡¯spany, Xiang Jin Yu might not necessarily agree to it. After opening Jin Yu¡¯s official website, Zheng ze flipped through the list of people who had advanced to designer. Indeed, Qiao sisi¡¯s name was not on it. At this point, Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes slightly. A strange light shed in his eyes. It seemed like something had happened. ¡­¡­¡­ Joes waspletely unaware of what had happened in the living room. She was sitting in front of her desk, looking at her own design draft, which was the draft of the ¡°cloud¡± for thepetition. She had been disappointed for a while, but now that she had calmed down, her mood had calmed down. Joes scanned the design drafts but still could not find the problem with her. Perhaps it was not to the judge¡¯s liking. After putting the design drafts back into the drawer, Jossiy on the bed as if she had been released from her burden and stared at the ceiling. So what if she failed this time? she still had time and could try to change! With this thought in mind, the disappointment she felt earlier was more or less dispelled. Joes heaved a sigh of relief, and her gaze slowly became determined. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated. Joes picked up her phone and saw that it was Lin ya¡¯s call. She more or less knew what was going on. She thought for a moment and picked up the phone.¡±¡±Hello, little ya.¡± ¡°Sisi!¡± On the other end of the phone, Lin ya was extremely excited. She had obviously seen the list of people who had advanced on the official website. ¡°Sisi,¡± she said, clearing her throat.¡±Your good colleague has advanced to the second round of the designer Competition!¡± Joes could not help but smile and said,¡±¡±Congrattions, my good colleague.¡± Lin ya¡¯s name was at the top of the list on the official website. She must have called joesse immediately after seeing it. Lin yaughed and said,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, what about you? I didn¡¯t look further, but you should have advanced as well, right?¡± At the mention of this rather heavy topic, Jossi was silent for a moment. Then, she blinked her eyes and said,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t advance, I was eliminated.¡± The phone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere became weird. On the other end of the phone, Lin ya waspletely stunned. She didn¡¯t expect this to be the result! Lin ya knew that Qiao sisi¡¯s design ability was very strong and had the honor of seeing her draft before. She had even praised her a few times. He did not expect that in this Designer Competition, he would be able to advance, while Joes¡¯s work would be eliminated. The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt! Chapter 68

Chapter 68: I heard that Jossi didn¡¯t advance

Lin ya thought about her call to report the good news and felt even more embarrassed. Joes was already in a bad mood after being eliminated, so what was the difference between his actions and rubbing salt on her wound? With this feeling, Lin ya felt even more guilty and didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Joes seemed to have noticed it and smiled,¡±¡±It¡¯s a good thing that you¡¯ve advanced. Don¡¯t worry about me. There are always wins and losses inpetitions. Maybe my n isn¡¯t good enough. ¡± Seeing how generous she was, Lin ya nodded heavily and said,¡±Sisi, let¡¯s work hard together. Actually, your drawing is much better than mine.¡± The two of them encouraged each other for a while before hanging up. cing her phone on the table, Joes leaned against the bed and fell asleep as shey on her stomach. The nket was flung to the side. ¡°Squeak ...¡± The door opened, and Zheng Zeyi, who was wearing a bathrobe, came in. He looked at joesse, who was once again not covered by the nket. He pursed his lips and went forward to cover her with the nket. It was a peaceful night. ¡­¡­¡­ On the second day. ...... Qiao sisi went to thepany while Zheng Zeyi stayed in the apartment. He took out his phone and dialed a number. The call was picked up, and a familiar voice came from the other end. It was president Jinyu, Xiang Jinyu. ¡°Zheng Zeyi? Why are you looking for me?¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s tone was a little doubtful. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up and his eyes were filled with mockery.¡±¡±President Jin Yu, you really can¡¯t control your subordinates.¡± Xiang Jinyu was silent for a moment, confused.¡±¡±What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and exined kindly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what happened in Yunqi. I¡¯m toozy toment on how someone who stole something can still stay in yourpany. ¡± Xiang Jinyu understood what was going on, and his expression darkened. However, she had no way of refuting Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. He was telling the truth. Because Wei Ya¡¯s family had some connections with her, some favors had to be returned, so she had no choice but to let Wei Ya continue to work in Shiyu. Otherwise, if it was someone with no background who did such a thing to defame thepany, he would have been fired by Xiang Jinyu, or even never hired again. Xiang Shiyu thought for a while, then said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Did ... Wei Ya do something again?¡± Other than this, she couldn¡¯t think of any other possibility. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face turned cold and heughed.¡±¡±You can take a look at yourpany¡¯s official website for the designer Competition. My fianc¨¦e¡¯s name isn¡¯t on it.¡± ¡°You mean the designer called Joes? The judges were all from ourpany, and I¡¯m sure the results were fair. ¡± Xiang Jinyu said with certainty. She would never believe that there was a problem with the results. Unfortunately, this was not the problem. ¡°You can take a look at it yourself. That woman¡¯s name is on the list. Look at her design draft, isn¡¯t it a pair of earrings signed by ¡®Yun¡¯?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was so cold that it sent a chill down one¡¯s spine. Xiang Jinyu frowned, but he still listened to Zheng Zeyi. He opened the official website and used the background to enter thepetition¡¯s system. As expected, Zheng Zeyi was right. She saw that Wei Ya¡¯s work was a pair of earrings, and it was named Chu ju n! Seeing this, Xiang Jinyu understood what was going on, and a dangerous light shed in his eyes. ¡°Why ... Did you see it? I¡¯ve seen my fianc¨¦e¡¯s design drafts during thepetition, and there¡¯s no difference between them and the ones provided by this person. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was heavy, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was really angry this time. Xiang Jinyu was not stupid enough to doubt Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. As the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, there was no need for him to do so. This time ... She was in the wrong. Xiang Jinyu sighed slightly. He knew that Wei Ya could not stay in herpany anymore, or else she would cause more trouble. ¡°Then, President Zheng, how do you want me to handle this matter?¡± she asked. Zheng Zeyi nodded in satisfaction.¡±¡±Don¡¯t make a move yet. Thepetition will proceed as usual. I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Xiang Jinyupromised. No matter how much friendship they had, they could not save Wei Ya this time. At this moment, in Jin Yu¡¯s office. There were about twenty people in the public office, but only two of them made it to the second round of the designer Competition. One of them was Lin ya, and the other was a female colleague that she was unfamiliar with. ¡°Congrattions, Xiao Ya. This is my gift to you.¡± Joes didn¡¯t seem to be in a bad mood as she handed the beautifully wrapped fountain pen to Lin ya. Lin ya was a little nervous as she took the pen. Sisi, thank you. Are you really okay?¡± Joes shook her head and helplessly said,¡±¡±What could happen to me? I¡¯ve thought it through yesterday.¡± It was already a fact that he didn¡¯t advance. Since that was the case, what was there to be sad about? He might as well turn his grief into motivation and study design properly so that he could have a chance like this again in the future and win a good ce in thepetition. Lin ya patted joesse¡¯s shoulder,¡±¡±How open-minded!¡± The two of them looked at each other andughed. ¡°Jossi.¡± At this time, Wei Ya suddenly walked to their side. Joesse frowned as she recalled Wei Ya¡¯s nonsensical apologyst time. She did not know what she was up to this time. ¡°Is there something?¡± Wei Ya¡¯s lips curled up.¡±It¡¯s nothing. I just heard that you didn¡¯t make it to the second round?¡± she smiled. Lin ya was not happy to hear Wei Ya poking at Qiao sisi¡¯s wound again. She quickly stepped forward and said,¡±¡±Wei Ya, what do you mean by that?¡± ¡°I mean what I said.¡± Wei Ya and Lin ya both widened their eyes, as if they were going to start quarreling the next second. As if she suddenly thought of something, Lin ya crossed her arms and said,¡±¡±I remember now. A certain someone even apologized to us in a humble mannerst time. How could I forget about it so quickly?¡± At the mention of the apology, Wei Ya¡¯s face darkened and she suddenly stopped talking. However, she was too embarrassed to say that it was Xiang Jinyu¡¯s request. If she didn¡¯t apologize, Xiang Jinyu wouldn¡¯t allow her to continue working in hispany. That was why she chose to look for Qiao sisi. Unfortunately ... Too many people had seen it. Wei Ya was a little annoyed, and her tone became sharper.¡±¡±So what? I just heard that Joes did not advance in rank, so I came to ask.¡± After saying that, he looked a little proud. Joes looked on coldly from the side, but her heart was filled with anger. Even a man made of mud would have some temper, not to mention that Joes was not someone who liked to be taken advantage of. Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Do you believe that this design is mine?

¡°Whether I advance or not, it has nothing to do with you. Please stay away from me.¡± Joes said in a sharp tone. Her eyes were different from usual, and there was a hint of anger. For some reason, Wei Ya was stunned for a moment. When she reacted, she could not help but feel embarrassed and angry. She had actually been scared stiff by joesse¡¯s gaze. She put her hands on her hips and said coldly,¡±you¡¯re talking as if I don¡¯t care about your business. You were so arrogant at the hotelst time. I thought you were strong. In the end, you couldn¡¯t even make it to the second round.¡± Joes clenched her fists and sneered,¡±¡±I¡¯ll say it again, if you don¡¯t get lost, the evidence fromst time is still in my hands!¡± Speaking of this, Wei Ya finally panicked a little. Her family had spent a lot of effort to get her to continue working at Shiyu. If Joes kept harping on the previous incident, Wei Ya would not get any benefits. Among the jewelry designpanies in the industry, Shiyupany was the most powerful. If she missed this ce, Wei Ya did not know where else she could go. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, Wei Ya red at Joes and left their seats in her high heels. Heh ... So what if she was impressive now? the design drafts were still in her hands! After Joes watched him leave, she sat back down on her chair. ¡°Sisi,¡± Lin ya said with admiration,¡±you were so cool just now. I was so in love with you.¡± ...... With such a clown around, naturally, all the anger disappeared. Joes could not help but smile sweetly,¡±¡±Alright, alright. Don¡¯t worry about her. Get back to work.¡± For the next few hours, the two of them were busy with the work at hand. Someone in the office shouted,¡±¡±The final round of the designer Competition has been announced in advance!¡± Everyone, including Joes and Lin ya, quickly turned on theirputers and entered the official website. Why would they announce it in advance? This question lingered in joesse¡¯s mind, but she did not slow down. Theputer had already entered the official website of the designer Competition. In thest round, not only were the names of the people who advanced, but also their designs. Originally, there was no such rule. It was all Zheng Zeyi¡¯s doing. The higher a person stood, the harder they would fall. With Wei Ya¡¯s character, she would not know the consequences if she did not suffer a little. Jossi stared at theputer screen. The first one was the three designers who were tied for third ce, as well as their design drafts. The first two should be designers from otherpanies, as joesse had never heard of these two names. The third person ... Was somewhat familiar. She took a look and smiled. She didn¡¯t expect Lin ya to make it all the way to third ce. Lin ya had just seen the results as well, and she was beyond excited. She didn¡¯t even want to see the results. She was so happy that she didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. Joesughed.¡±Don¡¯t be anxious. Speak slowly. I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± After a long while, Lin ya finally calmed down. She pointed at theputer screen and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you saw it! I¡¯ve advanced to third ce!¡± Her tone was filled with joy. It was clear how pleasantly surprised she was with this result. He didn¡¯t have much hope for himself, but he didn¡¯t expect that not only did he advance to the second round, but he also advanced to the third round. In addition to thepany¡¯s prize, they could even get a bonus of 50000 Yuan! This was not a small amount. Joes was genuinely happy for Lin ya.¡±¡±I told you you would definitely be able to do it.¡± The two of themughed out loud, and their mood suddenly improved. Lin ya quickly recovered from her joy and said,¡±¡±Sisi, let¡¯s see who¡¯s the first.¡± After saying that, joesse went to herputer screen and scrolled down the page. The two designers who were tied for second ce were not employees of Shiyupany, but designers from otherpanies. After taking a look at the design drafts, Joes could not help but sigh in admiration. Sure enough, those who could get a good ranking in thispetition were not simple people. Even Lin ya¡¯s design drafts were excellent, let alone the two second-ce winners. As a designer, joesse was able to tell. She shook her head slightly. This time, she had learned a lot and was even more at ease with the result of being eliminated. When they flipped to the end, the name of the first ce shocked everyone! The entire office was silent! Everyone, including Joes, had aplicated expression on their faces, mixed with disbelief. The first name on the official website was Wei Ya. Wei Ya, who had just left proudly! How was that possible? Joes rubbed her eyes. The name was still disyed on the screen. When she scrolled down and saw the design, she was even more dazed. On the design drawing was a pair of earrings shaped like water droplets but not as tangible as water droplets. The outline was soft, and the color was even gentler. It was an amazing sight. The name of the pair of earrings was written on the lower right corner, with the word ¡®Yun¡¯ written on it. This ... Isn¡¯t this my own design? Joes could not help but take a deep breath. She was very sure that this was the design that she had drawn. But why was the name Wei Ya? At this moment, Lin ya, who was beside him, also eximed in disbelief,¡±¡±Oh my God, how could it be Wei Ya?¡± Everyone in the office looked at Wei Ya. She couldn¡¯t help but reveal a proud expression, enjoying the bathing of everyone¡¯s gazes. In the meantime, he even secretly nced at Joes. Seeing that she could not believe it, the pleasure of revenge welled up in his heart. ¡°Who asked this woman to embarrass me in the hotelst time?¡± Wei Ya sneered in her heart.¡±This time, I¡¯ll let her have a taste of this unpleasant feeling.¡± Lin ya quickly retracted her gaze and whispered to Joes,¡±¡±Sisi, I didn¡¯t expect Wei Ya to be the winner. Although she¡¯s not a very good person, I¡¯ve seen the design drafts ... I can only say that the design drafts are good.¡± After saying this, Lin ya looked at Joes¡¯s expression and saw that she was dumbfounded. She was a little confused. She raised her hand and waved it in front of Joes.¡±Sisi, are you surprised too?¡± After a while, Joes finally recovered from herplicated emotions and nodded slightly. At this moment, she did not know what to say. ¡°Sisi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin ya could tell that something was wrong and couldn¡¯t help but ask. Her senses were still very sharp. Joes trembled as she closed her eyes. Finally, she said softly,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, if I tell you that this design is mine, would you believe me?¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes immediately widened, and her exmation resounded throughout the office, attracting the attention of many people. Clearly, they didn¡¯t know why she suddenly shouted so loudly. Chapter 70

Chapter 70: I did draw it

Lin ya looked at the crowd apologetically and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t look at me. ¡± After everyone¡¯s attention was diverted, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly asked,¡±Sisi, you¡¯re saying that this design is yours?¡± Joes nodded, but her expression was unusually calm. She did not seem to be angry. She had to admit that she was furious when she first saw it, but after she calmed down, she began to think. Since Wei Ya dared to do it, there should not be much evidence left. In order to drag Wei Ya into this, the most important thing for Joes to do was to find evidence. Otherwise, who would believe her without any evidence? Joes briefly described the design, and Lin ya clenched her fists in anger. ¡°This Wei Ya is too much! I stole your braceletst time, and now I¡¯m even stealing your design. Sisi, let¡¯s go to the president and expose her. We can¡¯t let her win so many people¡¯s favor with your design!¡± She had just thought that although Wei Ya was not a good person, her design was not bad. In the next second, she was surprised. Indeed, a dog can¡¯t change its habit of eating shit. Wei Ya had already been warned once when she stole from Joes, but she did not expect that she would be even more insatiable this time. He even dared to steal the design. This could no longer be described as audacious. Hearing Lin ya¡¯s words of Justice for her, a warm feeling rose in joesse¡¯s heart. ...... However, based on the current situation, it was not a good choice to go to Shiyu without any evidence. ¡°Xiao Ya, it¡¯s useless to report it now. We don¡¯t have any evidence.¡± After saying that, Joes shook her head slightly. If he wanted to expose Wei Ya¡¯s evil nature, his first goal was to find evidence that could prove that Wei Ya had stolen the design drafts. Lin ya was a little dejected. He took a look at Wei Ya, who was bathed in everyone¡¯s admiring eyes. She was even more indignant. He only heard his colleagues praising him, but they didn¡¯t know that this was the glory of stealing other manuscripts. The next moment, a person walked into the office. It was the CEO¡¯s Secretary fromst time. The Secretary held a Certificate of Honor in her hand and walked toward Wei Ya with a smile. ¡°Wei Ya, congrattions. This is the certificate prepared by the president. You¡¯re now Shiyu¡¯s official designer, and your work for thepetition will be released to the market. ¡± As soon as he said that, everyone in the office looked at him with envy. Joes could not help but clench her fists and take a deep breath to calm her emotions. It would be the best time to expose Wei Ya when she found the evidence. The Secretary handed the Certificate of Honor to Wei Ya. Wei Ya took it smugly, looked at it repeatedly, and said,¡±¡±Thank you for your promotion, President.¡± The breeze blew in through the open ss window and raised Wei Ya¡¯s hair. She didn¡¯t know why, but she suddenly felt a chill behind her back, and a premonition that she didn¡¯t want to have surged up in her heart. Perhaps ... It was an illusion. Wei Ya frowned and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. Just when everyone thought that this matter was a foregone conclusion, a few people suddenly walked into the office. Other than the president of Jinyupany, Xiang Jinyu, there were also a few men in police uniforms. ¡°Little Lin, don¡¯t rush to a conclusion.¡± Xiang Jinyu looked at Wei Ya indifferently and said calmly. The Secretary, who was originally full of joy, saw the president¡¯s arrival, and a bit of doubt rose on her face. ¡°President Xiang, you mean ...¡± Hearing the Secretary¡¯s confusion, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s lips curved up slightly, and he looked at Wei Ya sarcastically.¡±¡±I¡¯m sure some people know why I¡¯m here. ¡± Everyone who heard this was confused and puzzled. Only joesse could see some clues, frowning at President Xiang. Could it be that ... Xiang Jinyu had found out that Wei Ya had stolen the design drafts? Otherwise, why would he suddenlye to the office and say this? But if that was the case, how did Xiang Jinyu find out? Joes was filled with suspicion, not knowing what had happened in between. She probably wouldn¡¯t be able to figure it out even if she racked her brain. Wei Ya lowered her head guiltily, and the smile on her face was extremely awkward. She smiled and said,¡±¡±What does President Xiang mean? why are you looking at me while saying this?¡± The atmosphere in the office was tense. Many colleagues could feel it, so they remained silent. Even though Joes had some guesses, she suppressed them. ¡°Jossi,e over for a moment.¡± Suddenly, after a moment of silence, Xiang Jinyu called out to Qiao si. All eyes were suddenly focused on her, and she could not help but be stunned. Upon hearing this, Joris regained her senses and took a few steps forward to ask,¡±¡±May I ask why President Xiang has called for me?¡± ¡°Tell me, did you design the first-ce draft this time?¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s tone was a little sharp. At that moment, he was disying the imposing manner of apany¡¯s CEO, and it was not something that could be ignored. As soon as he said that, it was like a drop of water sshing into a pot of oil, immediately causing a series of crackling sounds. Everyone in the office was shocked! They could guess that the CEO had something to deal with this time, but what they didn¡¯t expect was that it was something like stealing the design drafts! For designers, this kind of behavior was the most intolerable! ¡°Oh my God ...¡± ¡°I knew that Wei Ya wouldn¡¯t change. I didn¡¯t expect her to steal the manuscript this time!¡± ¡°Even the president is paying so much attention to it. It looks like this is a big deal.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The chattering of discussions sounded, all about Wei Ya¡¯s actions this time. His voice was very soft, and there were some exmations, but he could still make out some of the content. Qiao Si was slightly stunned after hearing Xiang Jinyu¡¯s words. It seemed like she was right, Xiang Jinyu did know about the theft. Then, she looked at Wei Ya, who was already a little flustered and kept wiping the cold sweat on her forehead. It was really a case of someone giving her a pillow when she was dozing off. She had been wondering how to bring Wei Ya down without evidence, but she did not expect her luck to be so good. Joes smiled faintly and nodded,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, President Xiang is wise. The design draft that Wei Ya used to win the championship was indeed my work. ¡± I¡¯m finished! That was the only thought in Wei Ya¡¯s mind right now. Joes had actually revealed this matter! Since Xiang Jinyu was so sure of himself, he must have sufficient evidence and Qiao sisi¡¯s testimony. Thinking of this, Wei Ya waspletely disheartened. She knew that she had no chance to turn things around. From heaven to hell, it had only taken a short moment. Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Being willing to help is a favor

¡°Wei Ya, do you have anything else to say?¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice, and his heart was filled with anger. She was really furious about the theft of the design drafts. It was an internal matter of her ownpany, but Xiang Jinyu had heard about it from Zheng Zeyi. How could she not be angry? Moreover, once this incident was exposed, it was unknown how much impact it would have on thepany. It was really ... A favor that could kill people! Xiang Jinyu looked at Wei Ya coldly. Seeing that she didn¡¯t say anything, he narrowed his eyes. ¡°C-President, you said that I stole Jossi¡¯s script. Do you have any evidence?¡± Wei Ya still wanted to struggle before she died. However, when he said that, it sounded a little ridiculous. As the president of the top jewelry designpany, did Xiang Jinyu need to frame a small designer like her? ¡°It seems like you don¡¯t want to admit it?¡± Xiang Jinyu sneered and pped his hands. A few men in police uniforms immediately surrounded Wei Ya, not giving her any way out. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Wei Ya was a little flustered. Under Xiang Jinyu¡¯smand, one of the men took out a pair of handcuffs and put them on Wei Ya¡¯s wrist. ...... ¡°Please cooperate. We suspect that you are rted to a smuggling case. Come with me!¡± The police officer said calmly. Wei Ya struggled to escape, but was caught in the next moment. She quickly shouted,¡±¡±This is nder! I have nothing to do with any smuggling!¡± ¡°Release me! You have no evidence! President Xiang, please save me ...¡± Wei Ya¡¯s shrill cry for help went further and further away, and finally disappeared at the office door. Xiang Jinyu crossed his arms and quietly watched Wei Ya being taken away by several police officers. The so-called smuggling was not done by Wei Ya, but by her family. Xiang Jinyu owed Wei Ya a favor when she first entered the jewelry industry, so she was very tolerant of her. However, there was a time when a favor would be worn off, and she had already done her best. In addition, the people behind Wei Ya were doing these shady things, so when Xiang Jinyu dealt with Wei Ya, he also took all the me. In addition to the charges of theft and deception, Wei Ya would have to stay in jail for at least a while. After Wei Ya was taken away, the office was silent, and everyone stared at Xiang Jinyu. Seeing her gaze fall on everyone, they all stood up and shouted,¡±¡±Hello, President Xiang.¡± Xiang Jinyu smiled and turned to Qiao si,¡±¡±It¡¯s been hard on you regarding the matter of the design drafts. ¡± Joes was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and her pupils shrank. She quickly said,¡±¡±What are you saying, President Xiang? I know that it was Wei Ya who did it.¡± The moment she saw the design drafts, Jossi understood. It was just that she had yet toe up with a good idea. Xiang Jinyu had been a great help to her. At this time, the Secretary came over with the Certificate of Honor that she had handed to Wei Ya before and said,¡±¡±Sisi, this certificate ... Should be yours.¡± However, Wei Ya¡¯s name was still written on the certificate, and it would have to be changedter. Xiang Jinyu¡¯s gaze was a little questioning.¡±Sisi,e with me to the office.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Qiao si nodded without hesitation and followed Xiang Jinyu into the office. A few colleagues looked on enviously. The Secretary said,¡±¡±Alright, stop looking. Go do your own work first.¡± Since the Secretary had said so, no one dared to dy. They quickly sat down and started working. However, they knew that after this incident and Xiang Jinyu¡¯s attention, Qiao SI¡¯s status would soar. ¡­¡­¡­ Inside the office. The huge floor-to-ceiling window reflected the fine sunlight, sprinkling it on the soft carpet, making it look a little dreamy. The green nts on the table exuded a sweet fragrance that made one¡¯s mood calm down involuntarily. Joes sat on the leather sofa with a smile on her face. She asked softly,¡±¡±President Xiang, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Thinking about Xiang Jinyu¡¯s domineering speech just now, Qiao Si was a little impressed. As expected, her idol was still the same. Not only did he have achievements in design, but he was also very fair. Although Xiang Jinyu did not know what Qiao Si was thinking, he was somehow influenced by her and felt a little better. ¡°Do you know ... Why I found out that Wei Ya stole your manuscript?¡± After some thought, Xiang Jinyu decided to tell Qiao si about what Zheng Zeyi had done. Not for anything else, but to help him find a parasite, she should help him increase his favorability. Jossi was a little confused. She really did not know and asked,¡±¡±How did President Xiang know? did Wei Ya leave any evidence?¡± ¡°Of course, there is evidence.¡± Xiang Jinyu nodded slightly. After a moment, she added,¡±¡±But I wasn¡¯t the one who found the evidence. It was someone else.¡± Another person? Qiao si furrowed her brows, feeling that Xiang Jinyu was implying something. What she meant was that she didn¡¯t help much, and the main work was done by another person. This person ... Could he be? ¡°It¡¯s Zheng Zeyi, President Zheng. After he told me about Wei Ya, he even provided me with evidence. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to send Wei Ya away so quickly.¡± The corners of Xiang Jinyu¡¯s mouth rose slightly. As expected! Upon hearing this familiar name, the emotions in Joes¡¯s eyes became even moreplicated. She had thought that Xiang Jinyu had found out about it and exposed it, but it turned out that it was Zheng ze who had done it. When that tall figure appeared in her mind, joesse suddenly realized that Zheng Zeyi had done a lot for her. Entering Jin Yu, going on a business trip in Yun Qi ... Wait, even the theft this time was all his doing. ¡°President Xiang. Why did he do that?¡± Joes felt a little warm in her heart and asked after letting out a sigh of relief. Hearing that, Xiang Jinyu raised an eyebrow, the tip of his ballpoint pen tapping on the table.¡±¡±You¡¯ll have to ask Zheng Zeyi about that. Aren¡¯t you engaged?¡± Joes was stunned and felt a little awkward. She had forgotten about this. Now that she and Zheng Zeyi were still an engaged couple on the surface, it seemed normal for them to help out. However, this was ultimately someone else¡¯s opinion, and joesse was very clear about it. No matter what, she had nothing to do with Zheng Zeyi. It was out of kindness that she was willing to help, but it was her duty not to. From any perspective, there was no way for Qiao sisi to me Zheng Zeyi. It seemed like it was time to find a chance to thank Zheng Zeyi properly! ¡®Joes thought to herself with determination. The office was silent for a moment. After a while, Xiang Jinyu stood up and took out a design draft from his drawer. It was Qiao sisi¡¯s work for thepetition. Chapter 72

Chapter 72: I think it was you

The design drafts were kept in a transparent folder, which was obviously well-protected. ¡°I can say that your ¡®cloud¡¯ design is pretty good. I¡¯m sure many women will like it.¡± After Xiang Jinyu finished speaking, he looked at Qiao si with a look of admiration. She had great potential. ¡°Thank you for your praise, director Xiang. I¡¯m just trying my best to construct my own ideas.¡± Joes smiled humbly, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. After saying that, Xiang Jinyu picked up the steaming hot tea on the table and took a sip, then took out a contract. ¡°Sisi, please sign the contract. This is the right to represent your work in thepetition. After signing the contract, the prize money will be given out in full. When the work ispleted, it will also be sold on the market. ¡± Xiang Jinyu exined very patiently, exining the situation very clearly. As for the prize money, Joes had already seen it clearly from the schedule. Two hundred thousand! She had never thought that such arge sum of money would end up in her hands! Joes¡¯s heart was filled with joy as she nodded her head heavily. She went forward and wrote her name on the contract in a mboyant manner. After that, Xiang Jinyu did not chat with her. After signing the agency contract, he let her go back to her work. As for the 200000 Yuan from the winner of the designer Competition, it would be transferred to his bank card within two days. ...... Most importantly, after the ¡®cloud¡¯ was released, Joes would be able to get a 50 ¨C 50 share of the profits from the work. This was already an extremely favorable contract! Even when she walked out of the office, Jossi still felt that everything was surreal. Things had gone too smoothly. She thought that Wei Ya would go through a lot of twists and turns since she stole the manuscript, but it turned out that everything had been smooth, and she had everything in her hands. There¡¯s no such thing as a peaceful time, it¡¯s just that someone is carrying the burden for you. A sentence suddenly popped up in her mind. She remembered Zheng Zeyi who had helped her a lot and quickly took out her phone from her pocket. He gave Zheng Zeyi a call. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. ¡°He should be busy with something ...¡± Jossi muttered to herself as she ced her phone back into her pocket. As soon as she returned to the office, joesse realized that everyone¡¯s eyes were on her. Some were curious, and some were envious. ¡°President Xiang just called me over to ask about the manuscript.¡± Joes¡¯s mouth twitched as she exined briefly, then quickly returned to her seat. Joesse heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest, calming down her slightly agitated emotions. Lin ya, who was focused on her work, started to let her thoughts wander again as she stared straight at Joes. ¡°Sisi ...¡± Jossi turned around in confusion and saw Lin ya¡¯s dazed expression. She couldn¡¯t help but find it funny. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked with a smile. Lin ya gave her a thumbs up and said,¡±I thought Wei Ya designed it, but it turned out to be the earrings you designed, sisi.¡± I knew that with your strength, you would definitely be able to get a ce. ¡± In order to ensure that thepetition was fair and just, Xiang Jinyu had invited a very famous judge in the industry. The results were also basically urate. Just like Lin ya, even though she didn¡¯t think her design was good, it was an excellent piece in the eyes of others. Joesse¡¯s main point was that she was inspired, and the design was also very ingenious. It wasn¡¯t just a coincidence that he became the champion of thepetition. ¡°You really know how to talk. When my bonus is given out, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when I¡¯m free.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and said. With sufficient funds, she was instantly filled with confidence. Lin ya¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with admiration as she nodded heavily.¡±¡±Sister Qiao, I¡¯ll have to rely on you for my meals in the future.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. It¡¯s not a problem to treat you to a few more meals. ¡± Joes said in a generous manner. After ying for a while, they didn¡¯t continue to chat. He stayed there until it was time to get off work. Joes massaged her shoulders. After sitting in front of theputer for a whole day, her shoulders were still slightly sore. Sisi, I¡¯ll go home first. I have to tell my family the good news.¡± Lin ya said excitedly. She picked up her bag and left thepany after saying goodbye. Joes smiled helplessly and left as well. During this time, he also sent a message to his friend Anna Chen, telling her about the results of the designer Competition. In the end, she received a reply a second after she sent it. This was the feeling of having a response to everything. Joes¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She picked up her phone and chatted with Chen Anna for a while before leaving in her white shoes. ¡­¡­¡­ A few minutester. ¡°Hey, driver!¡± Joes waved her hand and saw another taxi drive past her. She could not help but lower her hand and sigh in regret. He had missed the bus because he had sent a message to Chen Anna. He had to rent a car to go home earlier. Since she had won 200000 dors in the designer Competition, joesse did not care about the 10 dors. However, it was the peak hour after work, and almost every car was upied. It was really difficult to find an empty car. Jossi¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw another taxi in the distance. ¡®¡¯ She was about to wave when a ck Bentley suddenly stopped in front of her. Just as Joes was about to say something, the car window was rolled down by the person in the car. ¡°Zheng Zeyi? What are you doing here?¡± Qiao Si was slightly surprised, she had forgotten that this was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car. He did not usually drive this car. Furthermore, Zheng Zeyi had too many cars and joesse could not remember every single one of them. With this brain, he might as well learn more about design and improve his ability. Zheng ze raised his eyebrows and picked up his phone. There was a missed call on the screen. ¡°Didn¡¯t you give me a call?¡± ¡°Oh right, I just called you.¡± Joes nodded. Just as she was about to ask about Wei Ya, Zheng Zeyi interrupted her and made her swallow her words. ¡°Let¡¯s get in the car. ¡± Upon hearing that, joesse did not stand on ceremony and opened the car door to sit in the front passenger seat. The weather was getting colder, so the heater was on in the car, but the temperature wasn¡¯t high. The seat that Joes was sitting on was right in front of the warm air, and the warm wind was as warm as spring. The warm air in her face made her a little drowsy, and she quickly patted her face to wake up a little. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, regarding Wei Ya¡¯s matter ... Did you find any evidence?¡± After Qiao si thought of her words, she fixed her gaze on Zheng Zeyi. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi smiled, his voice maic and intoxicating.¡±¡±What do you think?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s you!¡± Joes thought in her heart but did not say it out loud. Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Did I tell you about our rtionship?

After a moment of silence, joesse said,¡±¡±President Xiang has told me everything, so you don¡¯t have to hide it anymore. Thank you for this. When I found out that I was the one who drew Wei Ya¡¯s design drafts, I wanted to find evidence before I could speak. I didn¡¯t expect that ... You would help me solve it. ¡± It was touching. Jossi¡¯s smile was bright and charming. Zheng Zeyi only turned his head slightly to nce at her, and he could not look away. He was shocked and quickly focused his attention on the steering wheel. That numbing feeling gradually disappeared. Zheng Zeyi chuckled in his heart, and he felt more determined to win. This woman ... Could only be his. Seeing that Zheng ze did not reply for a long time, Jossi asked doubtfully,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, did you hear that?¡± ¡°I heard you.¡± A familiar maic voice. After hearing that, joesse felt at ease. After thinking of how to thank him, she quickly said,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t we not go back to the apartment first? I¡¯ll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude.¡± Just as he was about to say no, Zheng ze thought it was a good opportunity and agreed. Hence, the car that was originally heading back to the apartment immediately turned around and went to the restaurant in the city center. Zheng Zeyi had wanted to find a slightly more eptable restaurant after considering the problem with Joes ¡®wallet, but he did not expect Joes to pick a high-end restaurant. ...... ¡°The bonus is here?¡± Zheng ze thought about it and realized the crux of the matter. He had already given the evidence of Wei Ya¡¯s theft to Xiang Jinyu, and the evidence of her smuggling was provided by Xiang Jinyu himself. It looked like it had already been dealt with. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a devilish smile. It could only be because of the bonus. Otherwise, Qiao sisi would not be so generous. Joes did not know what he was thinking. A few minutester, the car arrived at the high-end restaurant. Standing in front of the Grand Restaurant, Jossi pursed her lips slightly, thinking about whether she had enough money in her wallet to pay for the meal. Before she could think of a reason, she was pulled in by Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Wee, do you have reservations?¡± The waiter lowered his head and said respectfully when he saw Zheng Zeyi, who had an extraordinary temperament. ¡°No,¡± Zheng Zeyi replied coldly. Upon hearing this, the waiter was slightly stunned. Then, he made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture and said,¡±¡±The two guests, please follow me this way.¡± Before Qiao si could say anything, Zheng ze had already pulled her to a seat by the window. This seat was better than the seats in the center of the restaurant. On the left was a floor-to-ceiling window, from which one could look at the busy street with Night Lights, which added to one¡¯s appetite. After the waiter left the menu, he stood at the side and prepared to record the dishes. ¡°Since it¡¯s your treat, you can take a look at the menu.¡± Zheng Zeyi pushed the menu aside. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes. His eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, and they could suck people in. Joes blinked her eyes and quickly recovered her senses to take the menu. At the same time, she thought to herself how embarrassing she was. He opened the menu and was greeted by exquisite and good-looking dishes. With her fingers on the table, Joes pondered for a while and ordered two steaks and other side dishes. Since he wanted to thank her, he couldn¡¯t be stingy. After ordering, joesse ced the menu aside and leaned against the soft pillow behind her, feeling a little more rxed. ¡°It¡¯s rare for you to treat me to a meal. ¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and poured some red wine into their sses. Joes could not help butugh when she heard this.¡±You must be joking.¡± The red liquid of red wine was in the ss. As it was gently shaken, circles of ripples appeared in the ss. It was very beautiful. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze turned to the other side and saw a familiar figure. He got up and said,¡±¡±I saw an old acquaintance, I¡¯ll go say hello.¡± With that, he left without looking back. Joes did not even have the chance to ask. She looked in that direction, but she didn¡¯t see anyone she knew. She only saw the back of a few men in suits. She was probably Zheng Zeyi¡¯s friend ... Joes thought about it and did not care anymore. She leaned back on the soft sofa to rest and empty her mind. At this moment, the sky outside had darkened, and the neon lights were lit up. The streets were bustling, and there were many pedestrians. The night scene was intoxicating. Just as Jossi was admiring the night view, a voice came from the side. ¡°Sister Xiu ¡®er, I reserved a seat here. Come and sit ...¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s familiar voice rang out. She was holding onto a woman in a in white dress with light makeup, looking noble and cold. It was the woman that Qiao si si had seen in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office previously. Her name was Lin Xiu ¡®er. The two of them walked arm in arm, as if they were good sisters. However, when they saw Joes and grace, their faces turned ugly. ¡°Joss...Why are you here?¡± Yang Yue Yue asked with a frown. Then, she sneered again and scanned the interior of the restaurant. She said slowly,¡±¡±You think you cane to such a high-end ce?¡± Before Qiao si si could say a word, Yang Yue Yue had already fired off a few words. ¡°What, are you the only one allowed toe here?¡± Joes asked back with a smile, her emotions very calm. The three women¡¯s eyes met, and the atmosphere was tense. Fortunately, there were not many people around them, so no onlookers would pay attention to them. Lin Xiu ¡®er pursed her lips, and her face turned green. The way she looked at Joes was filled with hatred that was difficult to hide. She smiled and said in a rtively polite manner,¡±¡±Miss Qiao ... Who did youe with?¡± Upon hearing this, Qiao si pointed at Zheng Zeyi, who was chatting with his acquaintances in the distance. ¡°I came here with my fianc¨¦. What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked softly. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but clench her hands that were hidden behind her back, and her eyes narrowed slightly. This woman ... Was not a good person! The more Lin Xiu ¡®er thought about it, the angrier she got. She used to be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s girlfriend, but they broke up in the end for special reasons. During this period of time, she had regretted and felt vexed. She had wanted to get Zheng Zeyi back more than once. However, Zheng Zeyi acted as if he did not see it and did not ept her feelings at all. Thinking of the past, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s expression was somewhat distorted. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth. When she saw the woman standing beside Zheng Zeyi, Lin Xiu ¡®er only wanted to ask,¡¯ why? She was just amoner girl who was not even as good looking as her, let alone a small jewelry designer with no future. How could Zeyi have taken a fancy to such an ordinary woman? Lin Xiu ¡®er was filled with hatred and decided toy some things out so that this woman would give up on her own. ¡°Miss Qiao, did Zeyi ever tell you about our rtionship?¡± she couldn¡¯t help but ask. Chapter 74

Chapter 74: What do you mean by that

Joes was slightly taken aback. After she regained her senses, Qiao si si looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue with interest. It seemed like she had guessed correctly. This woman was indeed rted to Zheng Zeyi. In fact, it could be said that they had a rtionship. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that. Why don¡¯t you tell me, miss Lin?¡± Joes said with a smile. She knew Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality after spending some time with him. He would never tell anyone about such a private matter. Now, there was an insider, or rather, the person involved. Joes also wanted to see what had happened back then that caused the two of them to part ways. After Lin Xiu ¡®er heard this, the expression on her face became somewhat arrogant, and she said,¡±¡±You probably don¡¯t know that I¡¯m Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend, right? you should know that back then ...¡± Before he could finish, he was interrupted. Jossi nodded and said,¡±¡±Then it seems that miss Lin knows her ce. She knows that she¡¯s your ex-girlfriend.¡± Jossi especially emphasized the words ¡®ex-girlfriend¡¯, afraid that no one could hear her. ¡°Joesse, you¡¯re too much!¡± Yang Yue Yue said as if she was fighting for the injustice. After saying that, joesse stood up with a cold smile and looked at the two of them. ...... Joes was tall to begin with, and she was wearing a pair of white shoes that were higher in height. Coupled with the cold expression on her face, it was inevitable that her aura was somewhat shocking. She took a few steps forward, her eyes cold, and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m too much? Yang Yue Yue, please bring some evidence with you. You were the one who was overbearing when you walked past me. From the looks of it, you¡¯re ready to pour the dirty water on me?¡± At this point, Joes paused for a moment and could not help but p. ¡°I¡¯m really surprised that you can¡¯t tell right from wrong. ¡± Yang Yue Yue couldn¡¯te back to her senses after hearing those sarcastic words, and her face turned red with anger. ¡°Jossi, you ...¡± ¡°Ready to curse again? We¡¯re in a public ce, so I hope you¡¯ll pay attention to your image. ¡± Joes smiled. After that, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to the two of them. She turned around and sat back in her chair, taking a sip of her juice. A sweet chill crept into his heart, and it also reduced his anger a little. ¡®Why should I spoil my mood because of two people who are deliberately looking for trouble?¡¯ Joes narrowed her eyes slightly. However, she had no intention of causing trouble, but Yang Yue Yue did not think so. The words he had just said were the ultimate humiliation in Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes, and she could not tolerate it. ¡°Sister Xiu ¡®er, look at her ...¡± Yang Yueyue¡¯s eyes flickered with a strange light as she shook Lin Xiu¡¯ er¡¯s arm. Lin Xiu ¡®er was also so angry that she clenched her teeth and took out her cell phone. Then, Lin Xiu ¡®er opened her Weibo and pointed at her phone as she said to Jossi,¡±¡±Qiao si si, I¡¯m a famous female star. Do you believe that I can destroy your reputation with just one word?¡± At this moment, her anger was like a vine, wrapping around her heart. She couldn¡¯t help but say those threatening words. Joes looked at him coldly and was about to say something, but someone beat her to it. ¡°You said ... Who do you want to ruin?¡± A cold voice was heard, sending chills down one¡¯s spine. It was none other than Zheng Zeyi. Lin Xiu ¡®er turned her head in shock and saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face. She could see the word¡¯ danger ¡®in it. ¡°Zeyi, I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± No matter how flustered she was, Lin Xiu ¡®er also endured it and revealed a slightly awkward smile. Yang Yue Yue chimed in and pointed at Qiao si si,¡±¡±Cousin, she was the one who offended sister Xiu-er first!¡± It could be said that he had done an extremely good job of reversing ck and white. Zheng Zeyi was not a fool to be able to be the president of the Zheng Corporation. Moreover, he had broken up with Lin Xiu ¡®er long ago. It could be said that he understood this woman¡¯s character very well. It made people feel disgusted. In the current situation, there was only the possibility of Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue joining hands to nder him. Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and said,¡±¡±I want to hear what my fianc¨¦e has to say.¡± After saying that, the few of them turned to look at Joes. Even though she was helpless, joesse still had to exin. After all, it was not good to be ndered in public. ¡°Regarding this, it¡¯s a coincidence that my phone is recording. Yang Yueyue, everything you said at the beginning was recorded. ¡± Joes waved her phone around, and the screen just so happened to stop at the recording interface. There were indeed a few saved recordings. This woman was too scheming. He had even recorded the conversation just now. How unexpected! Yang Yueyue was pped in the face as soon as she finished speaking. She panicked and couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±You ... How do you know how to record?¡± Compared to Yang Yue Yue, Lin Xiu ¡®er was even more flustered. She was different from yang Yueyue. She had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was a public figure. If that recording were to be exposed, and people heard Lin Xiu ¡®er threatening others like this ... All the hard work he had put in all these years would be in vain. The only thing he could do now was to keep Joes in check and not let her release the recording! Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s palms were sweating as she held her phone. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she revealed a bitter smile as she said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, don¡¯t take it seriously. Yue Yue and I were just joking with you.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes nodded her head in all seriousness,¡±¡±I see. Why don¡¯t I post the recording online and let everyone see how Ms. Lin jokes?¡± After saying that, she ced her fair fingers on the screen, as if she could send the recording to the inte in the next second. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened, and she was extremely panicked. Her sharp voice rang out,¡±¡±Don ¡®t!¡± Joes¡¯s fingers paused, but a smile appeared on her face,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to post it, but your existence has disturbed my mood for eating, so ...¡± Jossi did not finish her sentence, but anyone who knew what was going on would understand. Lin Xiu ¡®er clenched her hands, and her face was full of humiliation. In the end, she turned around and left.¡±Yue Yue, let¡¯s go!¡± Before she left, Yang Yue Yue red at Qiao si si. Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she was suppressing it. She retracted her gaze and then followed Lin Xiu ¡®er out of the dining room. Her back looked rather embarrassed. Jossi¡¯s mood improved even more when she saw the two of them being defeated. She put her phone back into her pocket. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he sat back in his seat and swirled the ss of red wine in his hand.¡±¡±Stop ying.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Joes pretended not to understand and rested her chin on her hand as she stared at Zheng ze with her watery eyes. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart trembled, and his eyes darkened. He cleared his throat and said seriously,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have a recording on your phone, do you?¡± Chapter 75

Chapter 75: I¡¯ll be leaving first, see you after the new year

In fact, Zheng Zeyi could tell that there was indeed a recording on joesse¡¯s phone, but it was not the recording just now. Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue could guess it after looking carefully. It was a pity that the two of them were a little flustered when they saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arrival. They did not have the time to care if the recording was real or fake. ¡°As expected of President Zheng, you could even tell ...¡± Joesseughed as she snapped her fingers, indicating that Zheng Zeyi had guessed correctly. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and did not say anything. The dinner ended with the two of them going back and forth, asionally taking a bite of food. When it was time to pay the bill, Jossi could not help but sigh at the fact that she really did not understand the life of the rich. There were less than 20 dishes in total, but he had eaten nearly 10000 Yuan. Fortunately, with the 200000 Yuan from the designer Competition approaching, Joes seemed to be very generous with her payment. The next few days, life was as peaceful as ever. The only difference was probably that Jossi¡¯s bonus had been received and the design had been used for production. It could be said that she was walking further and further away. Shiyupany was even cleaned up. ...... ¡­¡­¡­ A few months ¡®time passed by like flowing water. Unfortunately, time flew by like a shuttle and was more precious than money. At this time, it was almost the Spring Festival. asionally, white snowkes would fall from the sky, dyeing the earth. The cold wind that blew was also bone-chilling in winter. Joes could not help but hug her cotton-padded jacket. He exhaled a breath of hot air, which could be seen clearly in the air. ¡°It¡¯s so cold. This winter feels much colder thanst year. ¡± Joes rubbed her hands together and walked back to her apartment. Perhaps it was because of the night, it was even colder than the day. Even though she was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, she could still feel the bone-chilling cold wind. Her face was a little frozen. After returning to the apartment, Joes turned on the air conditioner and felt better. Zheng Zeyi had to go on a business trip for the past few days because of somepany matters, so joesse had been staying in the apartment alone and was rather carefree. After dinner, joesse soaked herself in the warm water and her body started to warm up. ¡°Buzz ...¡± The phone beside the bathtub vibrated. Who would call her at this hour? Joes could not help but feel suspicious. After wiping her hands, she picked up the phone and looked at the number on it. She was instantly stunned. Qiao Feng? He actually dared to call me at this time. Recalling what happenedst time, joesse was furious. If she had not saved herself, she would have been sold to fatty Jiang by their family of the highest quality. He could actually be a father by selling his daughter! Joes hung up the phone angrily. Her eyes were cold, and she was clearly angry. Unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t pick up the first call, but the next one came in a few seconds. Joes nced at the phone, took a deep breath, and picked up the call. ¡°If there¡¯s something, say it!¡± On the other end of the phone, Qiao Feng saw that Qiao sisi¡¯s attitude was not good and was stunned for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.¡±Sisi, it¡¯s almost the new year. Do you want toe back and spend the new year with us? How can one person be as lively as a family?¡± Qiao sisi could not help butugh coldly at Qiao Feng¡¯s hypocritical words. This was really a weasel paying a New Year¡¯s visit to a chicken. He didn¡¯t have a good heart at all. She didn¡¯t believe that this phone call was just to ask her to go back and spend the new year with him. At the thought of this, Joes could not be bothered to waste her breath and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t talk nonsense, just say what you have to say. ¡± In the past, she had not been so impatient with Qiao Feng. However, after all these years, that family had slowly worn out her patience. It was as if she wanted to suck her blood. ¡®¡¯ Coupled with the previous incident, it was impossible for Joes to have a good attitude this time. Qiao Feng was silent for a while before he finally got to the point.¡±¡±When your mother left, she left some things at home.¡± After a pause, he continued,¡±if youe back, take your things with you. Then, spend the new year with us. I won¡¯t call you again if there¡¯s nothing important.¡± Different from usual, Qiao Feng used another trick this time. Joesse could not help but frown when she heard that her mother had left some things at the house of the Qiao family. Why didn¡¯t she remember such a thing ... Or was it another lie? ¡°What is it? mom never told me.¡± Qiao sisi did not believe Qiao Feng¡¯s words. Qiao Feng quickly exined.¡±It¡¯s the bracelet that your mother wore when she first married into the Qiao family. I don¡¯t know where it went. I couldn¡¯t find it and left it in the Qiao family¡¯s house.¡± After hearing this, Joes started to believe him. It was not because of anything else, but because she seemed to have seen that bracelet before. Her childhood memories had be a little blurry at this moment. However, when his mother left the house with Joes, she did not bring the bangle with her. ¡°Where is the bangle?¡± Joes asked with an ugly expression. ¡°It¡¯s at home. I¡¯ll keep it safe for you. I¡¯ll give it to you when youe over.¡± Qiao Feng quickly promised. ¡°I know.¡± Joes hung up the phone after saying that, thinking about the truth of the matter in her heart. Qiao Feng¡¯s family wouldn¡¯t wake up early if there were no benefits, but she did have an impression of the bracelet this time. If the bangle was really in the house of the Qiao family, even if she had to pay a price, Joes would not allow them to touch her mother¡¯s things. With an answer in her heart, after taking a bath, joesse changed into a bathrobe and started to pack her luggage. He even made a phone call to Chen Anna and told her about it. ¡°Sisi, your family is so weird. I suggest you don¡¯t go back.¡± Chen Anna tried to persuade him. Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she said with a hint of warmth,¡±¡±But I¡¯ll definitely get my mother¡¯s things back. I¡¯ll be more careful this time. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Seeing how determined Joes was, Chen Anna did not try to persuade her any further. Her family had also advised her to go back during the Chinese New Year holidays, so she could not apany Jossi back to her hometown. Chen Anna could only give more instructions over the phone to prevent Joes from being tricked by that outrageous family again. A few dayster, it was a holiday for the employees at Shiyupany, so they could take a break and go back for the Spring Festival. ¡°Happy New Year, sisi. I¡¯ll be leaving now. See you after the new year!¡± After Lin ya wished Qiao sisi a Happy New Year, she left thepany in a hurry. It looked like someone was waiting outside, and joesse could not help but smile. Instead, she stayed in thepany for a while longer to sort out the work documents for the past few months. ¡°Sisi.¡± Suddenly, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s voice came from behind. Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Temporarily stay for two days

Qiao si turned around and saw the tall Xiang Jinyu in a suit. He had a strong aura. ¡°President Xiang, I was just about to go home.¡± As the new year approached, Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. She had some design drafts in her hands, all of which were requested by thepany. Xiang Jinyu smiled slightly, looking more approachable than usual, and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m here for the design of your earrings. ¡± After saying that, Joes furrowed her brows in confusion. It was unlikely that there was a problem with the design draft. Xiang Jinyu was very satisfied with the design draft, and felt that it was in line with women¡¯s aesthetics. Shiyupany was in the high-end jewelry business, and most of their customers were female. It wasn¡¯t that there weren¡¯t any men, but that there were fewer of them. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the design drafts?¡± Joes asked. Xiang Jinyu shook his head. He was holding a document in his hand and said,¡±¡±It¡¯ll be released around the end of the year. I¡¯m just here to inform you.¡± That¡¯s great! Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she could not help but feel surprised. This was the first product that she had created! Seeing this, the corners of Xiang Jinyu¡¯s mouth lifted slightly. He turned around and said,¡±¡±Alright, it¡¯s your vacation. Go back and rest.¡± ...... ¡°Alright, President Xiang.¡± Qiao si si waved at Jin Yu, took her bag and left Jin Yu¡¯spany. It was already past six in the evening. After taking a look at her phone, Joes booked a train ticket to return home the next day. No matter what, he had to get the bracelet back. As for Qiao Feng¡¯s family, he didn¡¯t know what they were up to this time. It was better to be more careful. Jossi returned to the apartment in the slightly dark sky. Her luggage had already been packed and ced beside the sofa, so that she could leave the next day. The apartment was very quiet. Other than the sound of Jossi¡¯s footsteps, there was no other sound. Zheng Zeyi probably wouldn¡¯t be back in the near future. If she wasn¡¯t around ... No one would take care of the apartment. After some thought, Qiao sisi sent a message to Zheng Zeyi and told him that she was going to take the train home tomorrow. She felt much more at ease. Zheng Zeyi did not reply immediately. He was probably busy with work. Lying on the bed, joesse tossed and turned. Perhaps it was because of the noise outside, she could not fall asleep. She leaned against the head of the bed, picked up the book she had taken from grandma Chen¡¯s house, and started reading. After returning to Qiao Feng¡¯s house and taking the bangle back, Qiao sisi was prepared to go to Yun Qi to visit grandma Chen, the author of the book. After reading for a while, she felt sleepy and fell asleep while leaning on the pillow. The next morning, the warm sunlight shone through the window and reflected on the White bed. The window was slightly open, and a gust of cold wind could still blow in from the outside. The window was closedst night, but it was not tightly closed, so the wind blew it open in the morning. Joesse was woken up by the cold wind. After she woke up, she didn¡¯t even bother to put on her coat and ran straight to close the window. Early in the morning, the streets outside were extremely lively. Many people took advantage of the holiday to go home to visit their rtives for the new year. Joes nced at it and retracted her gaze. She sat quietly at the dining table and ate her breakfast. There was only one person, so the food was simple. There was a sandwich, a fried egg, and a cup of fragrant milk. After breakfast, Joes carried her luggage and prepared to head to the train station. After hailing a taxi along the way, joesse ced her luggage in the trunk and got into the back seat of the car. ¡°Sir, city h¡¯s train station.¡± After Joes finished speaking, the driver replied happily,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. Most of the streets were hung with banners for the Spring Festival, or the word ¡°good fortune¡± with a happy atmosphere. Everyone¡¯s face was filled with joy. When they arrived at the train station, Joes could not help but hold her forehead helplessly as she pushed her luggage towards the waiting room. The train station was the most crowded as the Spring Festival approached. At this moment, people were surging like dumplings. Joes squeezed into the waiting room with great difficulty, and it was already full of people. She randomly found a spot against the wall, ced her suitcase behind her, and leaned against the wall to rest. The waiting room was very noisy, and many people were chatting. Joes took her phone and nced at the time. Just as she was about to put it back into her pocket, she suddenly received a text message. It was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reply. He didn¡¯t reply to her messagest night, but he actually replied so early this morning. Jossi was slightly surprised. She opened the message and read it. The general idea was that he was so stupid, and to be careful on the road. Little did she know that Zheng Zeyi had replied to her message as soon as he was done. ¡­¡­¡­ In the huge hotel room, Zheng ze was lying on the sofa in a bathrobe, resting. He looked tired. It was obvious that he had not rested for the entire night. When he saw joesse¡¯s message, he immediately replied. ¡°Chi .... His phone vibrated. Zheng ze took a sip of the warm tea and took a look at his phone. ¡°Thank you for your concern.¡± Joes replied. Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly. Why did he feel that this sentence was so weird? He could not figure out why Joes would use such a tone to speak, so he threw his phone to the side. Jossi, who was far away at the train station in city h, probably did not expect that her words would make him think so much. When the train arrived at the station, many people who were heading home to the town carried their luggage and boarded the train. Joes quickly pushed her luggage and followed. It was very crowded on the train. Fortunately, Joes had bought a seat, so there was still a seat for them to rest. It was a ten-hour drive, plus there were many people, so it wasn¡¯t veryfortable to stay in the car. Joes spent more than ten hours on the train, bored out of her mind, before the train finally arrived at its destination. As soon as they got off the train, the fresh air almost surrounded them, which waspletely different from the hot air on the train. Joes took a deep breath and rubbed her neck, finally feeling alive. The train was too torturous. It was already the morning of the next day. After leaving the train, they could see that the road was still covered in a thinyer of fog, which brought an inexplicable chill. However, she was wearing more clothes and had just gotten off the train, so she didn¡¯t feel cold for a while. There were very few people on the road. At this time, most people were still resting at home. There was basically no one wandering outside. Joes pushed her luggage along the road and found a decent hotel. Because it was still early, the hotel was very quiet, and only the sound of her footsteps could be heard. A dedicated receptionist couldn¡¯t help butugh when she saw her.¡±Wee, Sir.¡± Joes returned the smile and took a few steps forward,¡±¡±Book a single room for two days.¡± Chapter 77

Chapter 77: I only have this condition

¡°Alright, guest.¡± After that, the front desk girl started to operate theputer. Initially, she had wanted to stay for a night before leaving. However, after considering other factors, she decided to stay for two days. As for the Qiao family ... She did not dare to enter that Wolf¡¯s Den again. Who knew if Qiao Feng¡¯s family would do the same thing as thest time and scheme against her? This time, Joes did not have any other thoughts. She only wanted to take back her mother¡¯s things and leave. ¡°Sir, you need your ID card to register. The total is 400 yuan,¡± the front desk girl said after a while. After saying that, Joes took out her identity card and 400 dors in cash. After everything was settled, she took the key to her room and went upstairs. The room in the hotel was very clean, and the conditions were considered quite good in this small town. She had just finished packing her things when Qiao Feng called again. He was like a ghost that refused to leave. ¡°Sisi, have you arrived at the train station in town? do you want me to pick you up now?¡± Qiao Fengughed embarrassedly, and his tone was inexplicably anxious. Hearing that, Joes frowned and said,¡±¡±I just arrived. You don¡¯t have to pick me up. I¡¯ll go there myself.¡± ¡°This ... Alright then.¡± When Qiao Feng heard Qiao sisi¡¯s reply, he could not help but feel a little disappointed. After the call was hung up, joesse packed up some important things, locked the door, and left the hotel. ...... Although Qiao Feng and Liu Yun might not have good intentions, he still had to make a trip to the Qiao family. After staying in the hotel for a while, it was already dawn outside. Many stall owners who were operating breakfast stalls came out with their carts. Every stall owner had extraordinary skills. Not only were they fast, but the taste was also excellent. Many customers surrounded many stalls. As the alluring aroma wafted into her nose, Joes smiled and followed the crowd, buying two meat buns and eating them in small bites. The soup was thick, and the meat was very soft. It had the taste of childhood, and joesse was extremely satisfied. ¡­¡­¡­ The Qiao family¡¯s house wasn¡¯t too far from here. It was only a ten-minute walk. Standing in front of the house of the Qiao family, Joes knocked on the door despite her resistance.¡±¡±Is anyone there?¡± He had just knocked on the door when someone immediately opened it. The person who opened the door was Liu Yun. She was smiling at Joes, and she did not look like a vicious stepmother at all. Joes furrowed her brows and asked coldly,¡±¡±My dad ...¡± Liu Yun was wearing a red apron and looked like she was cooking. She observed joesse for a moment and quickly weed her in. ¡°So it¡¯s sisi. You¡¯re just in time. I just made breakfast. Let¡¯s have some together.¡± After Joes entered the room, Liu Yun closed the door and followed behind her, her smile slightly ttering. For some reason, Joes felt that something was amiss, but she did not know what it was. She could only suppress this feeling for the time being. ¡°No need, I just ate.¡± Joes rejected him decisively. When she arrived at the kitchen, she saw Qiao Feng and the other two sitting at the table and eating. When they saw her, their expressions changed. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused. She was about to say something but was stopped by Qiao Feng¡¯s sharp gaze. She could only lower her head and eat the in porridge in her bowl. Qiao Lei buried his head in his breakfast and did not say a word. On the other side, Qiao Feng stood up and smiled,¡±¡±Sisi, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. Have you had breakfast? How about ...¡± Before he could finish, Joes interrupted him,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to be so hypocritical. I don¡¯t want to eat. Also, where¡¯s my mom¡¯s bracelet? Give me the things and I¡¯ll leave now. ¡± She didn¡¯t have so much time to waste with this group of people. She was still nning to take advantage of the holiday to go to Yunqi. If he wasted too much time here, he would have even less chances to go to Yunqi after the holiday. At the mention of the bangle, Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he said,¡±¡±Sisi, why are you in such a hurry? It¡¯s the new year, let¡¯s have a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner before leaving. ¡± It sounded like he wanted her to stay for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, but Jossi had no idea what he was thinking. Laughing coldly, Joes was utterly disappointed in this father of hers. Other than giving birth to her with his mother, what else had Qiao Feng done? Cheating, divorce, what a scumbag! Why are you still pretending to be warm at this moment? ¡°So you¡¯re saying that if I don¡¯t stay for dinner, you won¡¯t give me the food?¡± There was a half-smile on Joes ¡®face. However, his words were extremely sharp and pointed to the center. Zhao Hai ¡®er was getting angrier and angrier. She mmed the table and stood up, saying,¡±¡±Jossi, don¡¯t be so ungrateful. I¡¯m giving you face by keeping you for dinner.¡± After hearing this, Joes looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er indifferently. It was this woman who had said those extremely vicious words when she was tied up, but to her, they were light as a feather. At the thought of this, joesse¡¯s expression turned even colder, and she exuded a gloomy aura. Compared to thest time she came home, she had grown a lot and seen more of the world. She didn¡¯t care about these people as much as she did before. ¡°Who knows if you¡¯ll have your eyes on me likest time? I¡¯ll say it again, I¡¯ll leave immediately after you give me the bracelet.¡± Joes let out a breath and said slowly. He couldn¡¯t let down his guard against this group of people. Zhao Hai ¡®er snorted in disdain and red at Joes,¡±¡±Only fatty Jiang likes you. If you had married himst time, there wouldn¡¯t have been so many problems.¡± ¡°Hai ¡®er!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Qiao Feng shouted angrily and red at Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er was still a little upset, but for the sake of her family, she sat down. On the other hand, Qiao sisi was a little surprised. She did not expect Qiao Feng to shout at Zhao Hai ¡®er for her. Now, she was really curious about what they were up to. How could they bear with it? Joes pondered for a moment and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t eat, but you have to give me the bracelet first. That¡¯s my only condition. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Feng¡¯s eyebrows were filled with joy. He quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go get the bracelet for you now.¡± After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his room. It was Liu Yun who called out,¡±AI.¡± Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t manage to stop her. Liu Yun stomped her feet in anger. ¡®Really, this old Feng is really stupid!¡¯ How could he really listen to that? if he gave the item to Jossi first, how would he be able to deal with her then? Unfortunately, Qiao Feng did not understand Liu Yun¡¯s thoughts for the time being. He took out a Jade-colored bangle that looked pretty good. However, it was also a little old. After all, it was an item from a long time ago. It was impossible for it to be as new as it was when it was bought. Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Who beat you up?

Naturally, joesse knew that this item was not worth much and was only a memento. Naturally, she would not leave it here for Liu Yun¡¯s family. If this bracelet was valuable, they wouldn¡¯t have gone through so much trouble to get her back from city H. They would have been more than happy to take the money for themselves. Jossi had some understanding of this family¡¯s character. ¡°Sisi, this is the bracelet.¡± Qiao Feng held the Jade bracelet in his hand and smiled embarrassedly. Liu Yun was about to snatch the bangle from Qiao Feng¡¯s hands, but Qiao sisi was faster. She took the bangle back and put it into her bag. His series of actions were so smooth that no one could react in time. Despite her hatred, Liu Yun had no choice but to pretend to be a loving mother. How could this brat be so fast! Liu Yun gritted her teeth and grinned,¡±Sisi, why don¡¯t you leave the bracelet with me? I¡¯ll give it to you after dinner. ¡± ¡°Is there any difference?¡± Joes asked decisively and impolitely. She was not an idiot. It would be safest to keep the things with him. He had thought that it would take some effort to get the bracelet back, but he did not expect Qiao Feng to do such a good thing. ¡°This ... That¡¯s true,¡± Liu Yunughed awkwardly as she clutched the corner of her apron tightly. In fact, she wanted to tear Jossi apart. ...... Seeing that she could not gain any advantage from Qiao sisi, Liu Yun turned to look at Qiao Feng and thought to herself,¡¯what a failure!¡¯ Now, the bracelet had been taken away, and he had no other chips on hand. Qiao Feng did not notice Liu Yun¡¯s gaze and asked,¡±¡±I¡¯ve also given you the bracelet. Sisi, why don¡¯t you stay here for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner?¡± Upon hearing that, joesse nodded her head slightly and said reluctantly,¡±¡±Alright, then.¡± After agreeing, joesse stayed at the house of the Qiao family for the time being and left after the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. Zhao Hai ¡®er was now living in her old room. The interior of the room waspletely different, and there was no trace of the room she used to live in. Back when he had lived here, although the ce was not big, it was very warm. But now, it was all a bubble. ¡°Jossi, What are you looking at my room for!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s exasperated voice came from behind her. Joes continued to walk unhurriedly. She only looked at her when she was right in front of her. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with disgust. Joes did not mind and said slowly,¡±¡±I just want to see what you¡¯ve made this room into, can¡¯t I?¡± Her words were filled with thorns, and Zhao Hai ¡®er was even more choked than before. ¡°This is my room. What does it have to do with you? you¡¯re no longer a member of the Qiao family!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pointed at Joes angrily. Her words were crude, but her reasoning was not. Joes was indeed not a member of the Qiao family. When her mother took her away from the Qiao family, ¡®¡¯ she had already cut off all ties with this family. Thinking of this, Joes narrowed her eyes and sized up Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned,¡¯ why are you looking at me? Jossi, I advise you to be more tactful. Do you still remember what happenedst time? you¡¯d better not provoke me, or we¡¯ll sell you out. ¡± After he finished speaking, his expression became fierce, and there was even a hint of greed. At the mention of fatty Jiang¡¯s matter, Joes could not help but reveal a faint smile on her face, which looked a little scary under the dim light. Zhao Hai ¡®er took a few steps back. She did not know why, but she felt a chill in her heart. That was weird. Why did she feel that the way Joes looked at her was so terrifying? why was she afraid of this B * tch ... In the end, Zhao Hai ¡®er gathered her courage and stuck out her chest with an arrogant expression. Joes looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er as if she was looking at an idiot. She did not want to waste her breath on her and left the bedroom for the living room. The television in the living room was currently ying a variety show. Jossi took a nce and actually saw Lin Xiu ¡®er on it. The incident at the restaurant was still fresh in her mind, and her lips curled into a smile. Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t lie. She was indeed a public figure. The world was really melodramatic. Qiao sisi really did not expect Lin Xiu ¡®er to be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend. The reason for their breakup was probably veryplicated. Joes walked to the sofa and sat down. She picked up the remote control and prepared to change the channel. She didn¡¯t want to see Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s program now. ¡°Jossi, you dare to move!¡± Qiao Lei saw her pick up the remote control and said with a fierce look. This was the son that Liu Yun had given birth to aftering to the Qiao family. He had been pampered like a treasure since he was young. Liu Yun had nned for Qiao Lei¡¯s future, for example, the betrothal gift! No one in the Qiao family was unaware of this matter, but in the end, they all chose to silently agree and sold her to that big-bellied fatty Jiang. A bunch of heartless ... People. Joesse pursed her lips, her eyes deep as she coldly said,¡±¡±You¡¯re saying we can¡¯t change channels? I¡¯m sorry, but I just had to change the channel. ¡± After saying that, he pressed the button on the remote control without hesitation, and the scene on the TV suddenly changed from a variety show to a TV series. ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Qiao Lei bellowed, not at all like a teenager. He raised his hand and was ready to hit Qiao sisi. Upon seeing this, Joes clenched her fist to feel the strength. After all, she had not been idle during this period of time and had been training frequently. She was not afraid toe to the Qiao family¡¯s residence alone. Moreover, she had prepared some things for self-defense. When facing such an outrageous person, since they were so shameless, then you should be more ruthless than them! First, she grabbed Qiao Lei¡¯s wrist, then Qiao sisi pressed him down on the sofa and pped Qiao Lei twice. Probably because he was pampered, the two ps left red palm marks on both sides of Qiao Lei¡¯s face, which looked extremely funny. Qiao Lei felt the pain on his face and couldn¡¯t help but cry out,¡±¡±Mom! Mom! Joes is going to kill someone!¡± With that, Liu Yun rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry. The first thing she saw was Jessi beating up her son. ¡°What a sin! Old Feng, quicklye and see your daughter beat someone up!¡± Liu Yun howled into the sky. At the same time, Qiao sisi let go of Qiao Feng and frowned,¡±¡±Stop screaming, isn¡¯t he still fine?¡± She was right. Besides his swollen cheeks, Qiao Lei didn¡¯t have any other injuries. If Qiao Lei had not prepared to hit her first, Qiao sisi would not have suddenly hit him. In the end, it was all his own fault. Qiao Feng heard themotion in the living room and quickly ran out. He saw Qiao Lei¡¯s swollen face and eximed,¡±¡±Son, who hit you?¡± Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Directly snatching the card will do

Seeing that the person who was backing him up had arrived, Qiao Lei¡¯s confidence was immediately boosted. The cowardice he had earlier had long disappeared. He pointed at Joes and said,¡±¡±Dad, mom, it¡¯s all this woman¡¯s fault! She hit me!¡± The usation was swift, but Qiao sisi did not have the intention to speak first. Otherwise, it would not be Qiao Lei¡¯s turn. After all, Qiao sisi knew that Liu Yun and Qiao Feng would never stand on her side. Since that was the case, why did she have to go through the trouble ofining? However, she couldn¡¯t let Qiao Lei nder her, so she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s your precious son who made the first move, that¡¯s why I retaliated. ¡± Liu Yun rolled her eyes and wiped away her non-existent tears.¡±Sisi, Auntie is treating you well by inviting you back for New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. How could you hit Xiao Lei? This is too much. ¡± ¡°I repeat, it was your precious son who made the first move.¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes were cold. After being tricked thest time, she returned to the Qiao family with a strong sense of wariness. As she had expected, they were not easy to deal with. Hearing that, Liu Yun¡¯s wailing became even louder. She kept wiping her tears away with both hands, and her acting was truly superb. He even turned around and said,¡±old Feng, this is your good daughter. She even hit my precious son. Now, she still refuses to admit it. How do you want me to treat her well?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s expression did not look too good either, his gaze fixed on Qiao sisi. Joes squinted her eyes and said heavily,¡±¡±Hitting someone is not a small matter. Call the police.¡± Upon hearing this, not only were Qiao Feng and Liu Yun shocked, but even Qiao Lei and Liu Yun were also stunned. They could not react for a long time. ...... They couldn¡¯t believe what they had just heard. This was just a family matter, and this brat wanted to call the police? Joesse had already made the necessary preparations. She had bought some self-defense items in city h, such as a voice recorder, which she had turned on before she came to the house of joesse. The recording pen had recorded the argument he had with Qiao Lei. If she really went to the police station, with this evidence, coupled with the previous incident and the statements of the neighbors, she would definitely not be the one at a disadvantage. The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up, revealing a smile. Liu Yun was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She had thought that she was in the right just now, but now that she was talking about going to the police station, she did not know how to continue. ¡°Sisi...This is a family matter, why bother the police?¡± Liu Yun lowered her head guiltily after she finished her sentence. The incident of the police officers entering the Qiao family¡¯s residence was still fresh in her mind. She didn¡¯t want to attract the police again! Joes, on the other hand, was very understanding and asked in a puzzled tone,¡±¡±But you guys don¡¯t believe me. Why don¡¯t I just call the police ...¡± As she said that, joesse was about to pick up her phone. Qiao Lei, who was at the side, was quick to react and was about to snatch the phone from her hand, but Joes had already expected it and took out the Taser with lightning speed. It was low-power, convenient for women to use for self-defense. Seeing the electric baton, Qiao Lei was terrified and quickly took a few steps back to ensure his safety. ¡°You saw it? This time, it was also your son who made the first move. ¡± Joes said with a smile, not a single trace of anger visible on her face. Liu Yun¡¯s eyes widened when she saw the electric baton. Why did this brat carry this thing around with her? Even though they wanted to snatch joesse¡¯s phone for what was toe, none of them wanted to be the first to stand up for her. After some consideration, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and decided topromise. ¡°That¡¯s Xiao Lei¡¯s doing. He¡¯s still young, so please understand. Auntie will go back to cook now.¡± The me was once again pushed onto Qiao Lei. Qiao Lei was about to speak, but Qiao Feng red at him fiercely and swallowed his words. Joes kept the Taser in her pocket and nodded.¡±¡±Hmm ... Alright then.¡± She sat on the sofa and found a show she liked to watch, leaving Qiao Feng and the others looking at each other. Liu Yun gave the three of them a look and returned to the kitchen to do her work. Her footsteps were heavier than before, and there was a faint anger in them. That damned girl, she¡¯ll get it when the timees! After Liu Yun returned to the kitchen, Qiao Feng broke the silence and said,¡±¡±You two,e with me to my room. I have to teach you a lesson.¡± After that, Qiao Lei and Zhao Hai ¡®er followed Qiao Feng into the room. On the surface, Joes was still watching the television, but in reality, her gaze had alreadynded on the three of them. Her brows were slightly furrowed. What were the three of them nning? ¡­¡­¡­ After entering the room, Qiao Feng looked at Qiao sisi cautiously. Seeing that she was still watching the television, he heaved a sigh of relief and closed the door. ¡°Dad, I say, why do you have toy out so much? just snatch the card.¡± Qiao Lei sat at the corner of the bed and said indifferently. The card that they were talking about was actually Joes¡¯s bank card. A few days ago, Qiao Feng and the rest had received a mysterious call. The person had told them that Qiao sisi had won a 200000 Yuan prize money for the designpetition. 200,000 Yuan was not a small amount. Moreover, it was joesse who got it. If he were to get it for nothing, it would be much easier than the incident with fatty Jiang. As such, Qiao Feng¡¯s family decided to trick Qiao sisi intoing back for the new year and get the 200000. Fortunately, they knew Qiao sisi¡¯s personality, so Qiao Feng took out the bangle that her mother had left behind and tricked her intoing back. ¡°Qiao Lei, it¡¯s easy for you to say. Just take the card back. Do you know the password?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but say after hearing Qiao Lei¡¯s words. Even if they took back the card, it was useless. They still needed the password to withdraw the money. Qiao Lei was instantly dissatisfied.¡±If you don¡¯t agree with what I said, then you should think of a way yourself. If we get the 200000 Yuan and split it, what¡¯s the point of saying it?¡± ¡°You!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened. The two of them were about to start quarreling, but Qiao Feng stopped them with an angry shout.¡±¡±Alright! What¡¯s with all the noise?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei finally quieted down after he said that. Qiao Feng also wanted to get the money. In his eyes, since Qiao sisi was his daughter, his blood would flow in her veins. Even if she divorced her mother, she still had the responsibility to support him. Qiao Feng hadpletely forgotten how he had sold his daughterst time. It was not something a father could do. ¡°I¡¯ll make her drink some alcoholter and see if I can get the password from her. Once I have the password, I¡¯ll just snatch the card.¡± Qiao Feng rubbed his eyebrows and said with certainty. His words were very calm, without a trace of guilt. Chapter 80 - Immediately send someone over

Chapter 80: Immediately send someone over

Qiao Feng paused and added,¡±¡±After you get the card and password, lock her at home and don¡¯t let her out. We¡¯ll talk after you get the money.¡± Otherwise, if they were to release them before they even got the money, Joes would have to go to the bank to im that she had lost them and get a new card. Then, what difference would it make from working for nothing? It had to be said that Qiao Feng was very thoughtful for the sake of money. Unfortunately ... He had used it on his own daughter. Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded and said,¡±¡±Dad¡¯s right, then leave this to me. ¡± She had long been unhappy with Joes, putting on a cold and aloof look that no one would notice. He thought about how Joes was about to lose 200000 and was even imprisoned in the Joes. Zhao Hai ¡®er could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She wanted to give Joes two tight ps. She had long been unhappy with joesse¡¯s cold and aloof look. Now that she had found another chance to humiliate her, how could she let it go? Zhao Hai ¡®er revealed a vicious smile. She had already thought of how to torture Joes. ¡­¡­¡­ In the living room. While Qiao Feng and the other two were discussing in the house, Qiao sisi was not idling outside. ...... Her brain worked quickly as she thought about what she had that was worth this family coveting, and she quickly thought of the key point. 200,000 Yuan in prize money! A strange look shed in Joes ¡®eyes, but she furrowed her brows in confusion. That was impossible. She was far away in city h and had no contact with the Qiao family. How did they know that she had received the 200000 Yuan prize money? Or ... Was there another hidden story? With this suspicion in mind, joesse watched as the three of them walked out of the house after their discussion. ¡°I¡¯ve already educated them. Xiao Lei won¡¯t be like this anymore.¡± Qiao Feng smiled, looking like a kind father. Joes also smiled and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s good. ¡± Aftering out of the room, Qiao Feng went to the kitchen to inform Liu Yun, while Qiao Lei and Zhao Hai ¡®er went back to their rooms. Jossi was the only one in the living room. It was extremely quiet, and there was even the sound of the television. Picking up her phone, Joes sent a message to Chen Anna and Zheng Zeyi to tell them that they were safe. After some thought, she decided to send Chen Anna a notification. If she didn¡¯t reply for a few days, he would ask Chen Anna to call the police and send her number. Chen Anna had probably just arrived at her hometown, so she did not reply immediately. After sending the text, Jossi ced her phone back into her pocket and stared at the television screen. Seeing that there was no one nearby, she had an idea. It wasn¡¯t a good idea to fight with these top-grade monsters head-on, so it was better to leave first. With this thought, Qiao sisi stood up and was about to walk to the door when Qiao Feng happened to walk out of the kitchen. ¡°Sisi, where are you going?¡± he asked in surprise. Joes squinted her eyes and sat back on the sofa. She said calmly,¡±¡±Nothing. I just want to go to the kitchen to see how the food is going.¡± Qiao Feng stayed in the living room after he came out, as if he was monitoring Qiao sisi. ¡®This is really hard to deal with ...¡¯ Jossi thought. Then, she frowned and looked at the time on her phone. She said tentatively,¡±¡±By the way, I ordered some cakes from the shop before I came. They should be almost ready by now. I¡¯ll go and get them first.¡± After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Qiao Feng quickly stood up, as if he was blocking the door to prevent people from leaving. ¡°Sisi, the food is almost ready. Eat a little first. It¡¯s no problem.¡± Qiao Feng said with a smile. Faced with such a situation, Joes more or less understood. Fortunately, she had prepared a Taser for self-defense before she came to the Qiao family¡¯s residence. Otherwise, she would be at the mercy of others. At this awkward moment, Liu Yun had just finished her work in the kitchen. After cing the dishes on the table, she shouted,¡±¡±It¡¯s time to eat!¡± Qiao Feng found the stairs and was about to say something, but he did not expect Qiao sisi to be the first to walk into the kitchen. Qiao Feng and the others came inter, and the dishes on the table were not considered sumptuous. They were just home-cooked dishes. Liu Yun was not in the mood to prepare so many sumptuous dishes. Their main goal was only to get Qiao si SI¡¯s bank card. Qiao Feng filled everyone¡¯s ss with wine. When he put down the bottle, he nced at Qiao sisi. ¡°This seems to be sisi¡¯s first time having a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner at home. Eat more.¡± As she said that, Liu Yun continued to put food into joesse¡¯s bowl. If they didn¡¯t know this woman¡¯s true face, they might really think that she was a good stepmother. Joes did not even touch the food in the bowl, not even picking up her chopsticks. She did not want to eat the food that Liu Yun had picked for her. Everyone at the table picked up their chopsticks and started eating the dishes on the table, except for joesse. ¡°Sisi, why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes flickered as he asked in confusion. ¡°I ate too much in the morning,¡± said Joes.¡±I¡¯m not hungry yet. You guys go ahead and eat. I¡¯ll be fine with some wine.¡± After saying that, Joes picked up her ss and drank the beer in it. When she was drinking, the others were all watching. They had the same thought in their hearts. Whether they ate or not, they should just drink more. With this in mind, no one continued to urge Joes to eat, which was great. After drinking the entire ss of wine, joesse put down the ss. Her face was slightly red as she stood up and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to the toilet. ¡± Looking at Qiao sisi¡¯s back as she left, Qiao Feng and the rest started to whisper. ¡°Did this brat notice something?¡± Liu Yun said with a frown. For some reason, she felt that something was off. Qiao Lei waved his hand indifferently and took a sip of beer.¡±¡±Mom, why are you so worried? we haven¡¯t done anything yet. There¡¯s no way she¡¯ll find out.¡± These words made her feel a little more at ease. That¡¯s right ... They hadn¡¯t done anything yet. After entering the toilet, Joes quickly picked up her phone and called the police. ¡°Hello, Ling town guard Hall. How may I help you?¡± A crisp female voice came from the other end of the phone. Joes looked outside cautiously. After confirming that there was no movement, she described the situation. His voice was very soft to avoid being heard by the people outside. Otherwise, things would not end well. After all, they had the advantage in numbers, and it was hard for two fists to fight against four. Qiao sisi¡¯s exnation was also very brief. In short, it was a scam by Qiao Feng and the others to cheat money. She also mentioned that there was a precedent. After listening to Joes¡¯s description, the female voice was stunned for a moment.¡±¡±Alright, miss. We¡¯ll send someone over immediately.¡± Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Let¡¯s see what future you have

The main thing that attracted attention was not today¡¯s incident, but the precedent that Joes had mentioned with such certainty. That was no different from human trafficking. After hanging up the phone, Jossi heaved a sigh of relief. What she needed to do now was to record the evidence. Otherwise, when the guards came, there would be no evidence to prove the warning, and there would be no way to convince the public. After staying in the toilet for a while, Jossi took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out. Qiao Feng¡¯s family was still sitting in the kitchen. They did not suspect what she was doing in the bathroom, which was a good thing. The ss that had been emptied was now filled with beer again. The corner of joesse¡¯s eyes twitched uncontrobly. Were these people nning to get her drunk before tricking her for her bank card and password? His methods were a little too low. There were even seven or eight bottles of beer on the table, all of which seemed to have been prepared for her. ¡°Sisi, drink more and eat some vegetables.¡± Liu Yun¡¯s smile was extremely fake as she poured another ss of wine for joesse in a hurry. Ever since the incident at the bar, Joes had a clear understanding of her alcohol tolerance. More than two bottles and it would fall. After drinking two sses, Joes started to pretend to be dizzy. She leaned on the table, her face was very red, no different from a drunk. ...... Liu Yun, who was pouring the wine, was shocked. How could she be drunk after only two sses? ¡°Old Feng, this stinky girl¡¯s alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t good? I¡¯ve only poured two cups. ¡± Liu Yun asked Qiao Feng in a low voice. She even suspected that the wine in her hand was some kind of strong liquor. How could someone have such a low alcohol tolerance? was he pretending to be a liar? With that thought in mind, Liu Yun looked at Jossi in a different light. Qiao Feng shook his head slightly and said softly,¡±¡±Her alcohol tolerance is indeed not good. She might have gotten drunk after a day of driving and suddenly touching alcohol.¡± The few of them looked at each other and confirmed the process of the n. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er, hurry up and get the bank card out.¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes brightened as he quickly urged Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er wasn¡¯t happy, but she didn¡¯t say anything. At this moment, it was clear that the 200000 Yuan was more important. At this moment, Jossi was sprawled on the table, mumbling,¡±¡±I still want to drink, give me more wine ...¡± In fact, she ced her hand on the recording pen and started a new recording. After she started, she didn¡¯t say anything. Zhao Hai ¡®er stood up and slowly approached Joes, whispering into her ear,¡±¡±Jossi, where¡¯s your bank card?¡± ¡°Bank card?¡± Jossi mumbled and asked in return. Without waiting for Zhao Hai ¡®er to ask again, she took out her bank card and handed it to her. ¡°The bank card is here.¡± Joes¡¯s voice was slightly choked, but it did not attract anyone¡¯s attention. Zhao Hai ¡®er held the card in her hand and was stunned. She had thought that it would take some effort. She did not expect to get the card so easily. Instead, she was shocked. ¡°Mom ... She gave it to me.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was ecstatic. Two hundred thousand! He actually got it just like that! Seeing this, Liu Yun¡¯s eyes shed with joy. She was even more certain that joesse was drunk. Otherwise, she would not have taken out her bank card. Liu Yun gave Zhao Hai ¡®er a look, signaling her to ask for the password. Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded and whispered into joesse¡¯s ear,¡±¡±What¡¯s the password for the bank card?¡± After he finished speaking, the entire table fell into a brief silence. Qiao Feng and the rest did not even dare to breathe loudly. They looked at Qiao sisi with all their attention, hoping to hear the password for the bank card from her mouth. Pausing for a moment, Joes raised her head in confusion.¡±Can I, can I not say it?¡± His tone was filled with tears. Hearing this, Qiao Lei frowned and said loudly,¡±¡±Hurry up, what¡¯s the password to your bank card?!¡± ¡°The password is ...¡± Joes gritted her teeth and said. Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, which broke the atmosphere. Qiao Feng felt a little guilty. Why would someone knock on his door at this time? It was really strange. ¡°Old Feng, quickly open the door and see who it is.¡± Liu Yun urged as she pushed Qiao Feng¡¯s shoulder. Qiao Feng had to open the door no matter how unwilling he was. When he opened the door, he saw a security guard in in clothes smiling politely at him. Qiao Feng asked,¡±¡±And you are?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll break through now!¡± The inclothes guard suddenly said, and the guards behind him entered the room. As expected, in the kitchen facing the living room, he saw the submissive Jossi and Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was holding a bank card and forcing for the password. ¡°O-officer!¡± Liu Yun cried out in rm. The situation had gone beyond her control. Damn it! How did these guards find their way here? However, there was no time to think. The guards who rushed into the room immediately surrounded everyone, their expressions extremely serious. ¡°Youngdy, did you call the police?¡± The leader of the guards looked at Jossi and asked. Hearing that, joesse stopped pretending to be drunk and quickly stood up,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. They wanted to steal my money. My bank card is in her hands!¡± After saying that, Joes pointed at the bank card in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hand. Now that the evidence had been verified, the guards didn¡¯t waste any time and directly brought the man back to the station for interrogation. During this period, Liu Yun and the others tried to resist, even retorting that Joes was lying to them, but it was all in vain. After arriving at the police station, joesse handed the recording pen to the guards and gave her statement. It was nothing more than exining the reason, which was not difficult for Joes. In fact, she was not wrong. Liu Yun and the rest were no different from scamming people. If it was not for Qiao si si saving herself, that bank card would have been taken away. And now, the biggest question was who had leaked the news? Even though Jossi was very suspicious, she could not find the reason. However, she was certain that it was someone from city H. Otherwise, he would not have known about this. Qiao Feng and the rest did not do anything, they justpensated Qiao sisi some money. After the matter was over, they let a few people out of the police station, including Jossi. In front of the gate. The moment Liu Yun came out, she pointed at Joss and scolded,¡±¡±Pfft, you¡¯re a liar at such a young age. Let¡¯s see what future you have!¡± The few of them were extremely indignant. They didn¡¯t get the 200000 Yuan, but instead, they lost. Liu Yun red at Joes with a murderous look in her eyes. Unfortunately, she could not do anything. Qiao Feng was also extremely dissatisfied and said with an ugly expression,¡±¡±You unfilial daughter, you¡¯ve really gone too far. I shouldn¡¯t have given birth to you back then!¡± Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Excuse me, please

The two of them were singing a duet, each saying one sentence. As the password of the card had not been cheated, Qiao Feng and the rest only suffered a little loss and had to pay Qiao sisi a few thousand Yuan. For the sake of these few thousand Yuan, Qiao Feng and Liu Yun dared to say any kind of vulgarities without any restraint. Standing in front of the police station, Joes raised her brows slightly,¡±¡±I¡¯ll return what you said. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not after my two hundred thousand? Also, think about the consequences of causing trouble here. ¡± After saying that, she nced at the door behind her with a faint smile on her face. ¡°Jossi, you will receive retribution!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face was red with anger. She pointed at Joes with a trembling finger, wishing she could skin her alive. This woman actually dared to scheme against them? Zhao Hai ¡®er had just gotten her bank card and was only one step away from withdrawing the 200000 Yuan. However, it had all turned into bubbles now. ¡°Hmph!¡± Joes snorted coldly.¡±Zhao Hai ¡®er, if someone like you doesn¡¯t get your retribution, you¡¯re still counting on me?¡± It wasughable. Joes red coldly at this outrageous family and was about to leave when Liu Yun suddenly ran over and blocked her way. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Joes furrowed her brows slightly. At this moment, she was already a little angry. Liu Yun gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Give us back our money and we¡¯ll leave immediately!¡± ...... Joes crossed her arms and looked at her shameless stepmother in silence. She was so angry that she almostughed. Where did he get the courage and confidence to say these words so naturally? As expected, snakes and rats were in a nest, and none of them were good. Pointing at the police station behind her, joesse said calmly,¡±¡±Go in andmunicate with the guards. I¡¯ll return the money to you if the guards allow it.¡± Liu Yun¡¯s body trembled in anger when she heard that. It was as if she was about to smoke. However, she didn¡¯t have the guts to go to the police station behind her to look for the guards. ¡°If you don¡¯t have the guts, then don¡¯t ask me for money. If you want my 200000 Yuan, you¡¯ll have to see if you have the ability.¡± After Joes finished speaking, she left. The tall figure quickly disappeared at the intersection, and they couldn¡¯t even catch up. Only the Qiao family was left standing at the entrance of the police station in a sorry state. Liu Yun was furious and red at Qiao Feng who was smoking.¡±¡±Look, this is The Good Daughter you raised. You¡¯re forcing us to our deaths!¡± ¡°What could I have done? who knew she would be so cautious? otherwise, she would have gotten the 200000 Yuan Long ago.¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s chin was full of stubble and he looked a little Haggard. At this moment, he was smoking a cigarette and slowly blowing out a white smoke ring. He was also very depressed. Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei were even angrier. If they received the 200000 Yuan, the money would be theirs. That B * tch Joes! ¡°Mom, give me the phone number of the person who told us that Jossi won the award.¡± After a while, Zhao Hai ¡®er thought of the key point. Since that person had told them about this, it meant that he did not have a good rtionship with Joes and wanted them to take Joes ¡®money away. If he wanted to continue dealing with Joes, he would have to contact that person. Hearing this, Liu Yun furrowed her brows and said,¡±¡±That phone call was made directly to thendline. It¡¯s been so many days, but I didn¡¯t save it.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened.¡±Mom, how could you forget that? how are we going to deal with joesse without that person¡¯s phone?¡± Anyway, I¡¯m definitely taking that 200000!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was so angry that she turned around and walked home, not caring about her family. Her mother was such an idiot. She didn¡¯t even save her phone number. It seemed that now ... They could only wait for that person toe and find them. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side, Joris had already returned to the hotel. If she had heard the conversation between Zhao Hai ¡®er and the others, she would probably have guessed it. After all, there were only a few people who had a grudge against her in city H. Wei Ya couldn¡¯t do anything, so only Lin Xiu ¡®er and yang Yueyue were suspicious. After returning to the hotel, Joes turned on her phone and informed Chen Anna that she was safe. He didn¡¯t expect her to be online and call him directly. Sisi, are you alright? what did your family do this time?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s voice was a little anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine,¡±joesse replied with a smile. Then, she exined to Chen Anna what had happened today, from the beginning to the end. ¡°You¡¯re worse than an animal!¡± Chen Anna cursed. Could this be considered a writer? They probably wouldn¡¯t even spare their enemies. Last time, that group of people had almost sold Joes out, and this time, they even had the idea of getting a bonus. To describe a beast was an insult to the word. ¡°But ... I¡¯m curious how they found out about this. After all, I¡¯ve never told anyone about the prize money.¡± Joes asked doubtfully. Although she had some guesses in her heart, she could not confirm them. Chen Anna paused and said with uncertainty,¡±¡±ording to my guess, it should be Yang Yue Yue. She hates us to the core, so it¡¯s not strange that she did this.¡± ¡°Sigh ...¡± Joes could not help but sigh. This kind of despicable person who backstabbed others was really difficult to deal with. He had to be more cautious. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Chen Anna said indignantly.¡±We¡¯ll investigate this matter when we return to city h after the new year. We¡¯ll definitely find out the truth.¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. The two of them chatted for a while more, talking about what had happened during the new year. Chen Anna had many rtives and friends. Her family situation was different from that of Joes ¡®, but she still had some high-quality rtives. He had beenining for half an hour. After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone and went to do their own things. Joes had booked a hotel room for two days. Seeing that it was gettingte, she took off her clothes andy on the bed to rest. He would see if he needed to check out tomorrow. If possible, he would set off for Yunqi directly. Time flew by, and the night was peaceful. Soon, it was the second day. The first thing joesse did when she woke up was to look at the train ticket for Yunqi. There was a train to Yunqi at noon. After putting away all the important items, she went downstairs to check out the hotel¡¯s front desk and got back 200 yuan. Just as she was about to leave, she realized that someone was blocking the door. It was a tall figure in gray casual clothes. Just by looking at his back, one could tell that he had an extraordinary temperament. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, please make way. ¡± Joes¡¯s hand, which was pushing the luggage, paused. She raised her head and asked apologetically. Chapter 83

Chapter 83: So ... It¡¯s like this, President

Hearing her words, the man turned his head slightly and saw a familiar face. Joes could not help but widen her eyes in shock,¡±¡±President Chen?¡± The person in front of him had handsome facial features and a tall figure. He was like a natural clothes hanger, and a rare trace of surprise appeared on his cold face. It was the man that joesse had seen at the hot spring Vi, Chen zuolin. ¡°You know me?¡± Chen zuolin furrowed his brows, as if he couldn¡¯t remember who she was. Joesse was very clear on this point. How could she possibly remember such a Big Shot after meeting him once? this was more in line with her character setting. Joesughed awkwardly,¡±¡±Mr. Chen, you probably don¡¯t remember me. We met once at the hot spring Vi.¡± Speaking up to this point, Chen zuolin had some impression. He looked at Joes with a strange expression and asked uncertainly,¡±¡±You¡¯re Zheng Zeyi¡¯s date?¡± Joesse really wanted to say no. However, as they were still engaged, Joes could only say ambiguously,¡±¡±I guess so.¡± Chen zuolin understood, then stepped aside to make way for a person. Joes revealed a grateful look and pushed her luggage out. When she came into contact with the warm and ring sunlight outside, she subconsciously blocked it. ...... ¡°Wait,¡± A voice came from behind her. Joris turned around in confusion and asked,¡±¡±Is there anything else? Chief Chen. ¡± ¡°Where are you going now?¡± Chen zuolin asked after a pause. ¡°Me?¡± Joes pointed at herself in surprise. She did not understand why Chen zuolin would suddenly ask her where she was going. After all, he was just an insignificant person. After thinking about it, Joes did not hide anything and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to Yunqi,¡± Hearing the name Yun Qi, Chen zuolin nodded with satisfaction and took the lead to step out of the hotel¡¯s door. His slightly cold voice sounded above his head. ¡°Let¡¯s go together. We¡¯re going to Yunqi too. Mr. Zheng ... Is also in Yunqi, so we can take you there. ¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao si quickly shook her head. It was not easy for her to have some personal time, so she did not want to look for Zheng Zeyi again. Her purpose in going to Yun Qi was to find grandma Chen. It had nothing to do with Zheng ze. Furthermore, she had no idea that Zheng Zeyi was in Yun Qi as well. This was just a coincidence. ¡°You don¡¯t want to?¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s expression suddenly changed as he looked at joesse with a faint smile. Joes hesitated for a moment before nodding her head,¡±¡±Um ... Thank you for your kindness, President Chen. I think I won¡¯t be traveling with you.¡± Chen zuolin saw it clearly, and he couldn¡¯t help but smile. He asked with interest,¡±Do you not want to travel with us or do you not want to see President Zheng?¡± That one sentence was enough to render Jossi speechless, and she did not know how to reply. The so-called President Chen in front of her was very simr to Zheng Zeyi. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people¡¯s hearts. No matter what he was thinking, he could not hide it. Joes decided to just throw the pot aside and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to Yunqi to deal with some other things. It¡¯s not convenient for me to look for him for the time being. Thank you for your kindness, President Chen.¡± After saying this, joesse felt that Chen zuolin should give up. After all, he had already made it so obvious. But unexpectedly, he still didn ¡®t. Chen zuolin faintly smiled and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go together. I¡¯ll send you to Yunqi on the way. As for whether you want to see President Zheng, that¡¯s your business.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need ...¡± Just as Jossi was about to reject him, Chen zuolin took her luggage and walked towards the MPV that was parked outside without giving her any chance to speak. Looking at Chen zuolin¡¯s back, joesse sighed helplessly. What the hell was going on? However, the things had already been taken away, so it wouldn¡¯t be right for her to refuse now. It would be a disgrace to the other party, so she could only follow Chen zuolin and get into the ck business car. Fortunately, there was a lot of space in the car. Other than the male assistant and the driver, there was no one else. In the empty first row of seats, Qiao SI¡¯s eyes lit up. She first thanked Chen zuolin,¡±¡±Thank you for the ride, President Chen.¡± After saying that, she sat in the empty seat, so she didn¡¯t have to squeeze with the others. ¡°No need to thank me, it was nothing.¡± After Chen zuolin finished speaking, he sat opposite her. The space seemed too narrow for his long legs, and his Starry Eyes stared at her for a while. The male assistant looked at the two of them with a hint of surprise in his eyes. ¡°President, this is ...¡± The male assistant stared at Qiao si in surprise. He had been an assistant for so long, but this was the first time he had seen Chen zuolin bring a woman into the car. This Big Boss of the business world usually didn¡¯t get close to women. Not to mention bringing women into the car, even his assistant and Secretary were all men. Sometimes, there were obscure rumors in thepany that this President Chen had some quirks. However, after so many years, there had been no bad news, so the employees of Hengyuan investmentpany were not surprised. She didn¡¯t expect the male assistant to be lucky enough to see this scene, and she was instantly grateful. Thank God, did his CEO finally have an epiphany and know how to find a woman? Faced with the male assistant¡¯s overly passionate gaze, the corners of Jossi¡¯s mouth twitched. She nodded at him as a form of greeting. However, the look in his eyes made her feel ufortable, as if she was sitting on pins and needles. Hearing the male assistant¡¯s words, Chen zuolin was silent for two seconds before saying,¡±¡±She¡¯s President Zheng¡¯s date. She¡¯s going to Yunqi, so I brought her there.¡± ¡°So ... That¡¯s how it is, President.¡± The male assistant couldn¡¯t help but secretly sigh, looking disappointed. He thought that Chen zuolin had been enlightened, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be a business matter. However, why did President Zheng¡¯s femalepanion want to take their business car? He could only suppress this doubt in his heart. Even Joes herself wanted to know the answer, much less him. The car quickly drove on the highway. On the t ground, one could almost not feel any vibration in the business car, and one could tell that it was a good car. Joes opened her phone¡¯s navigation and took a look. They were four hours away from reaching Yunqi. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Chen zuolin was reading some documents, while the male assistant was tidying up the documents on the side. Only the ¡°Sha Sha¡± sound of paper flipping could be heard, which was inexplicably pleasant to the ear. Joes did not make a sound, so as not to disturb the two of them. But ... She couldn¡¯t help but look down at her stomach. Chen zuolin had taken her to the business car as soon as she left the hotel in the morning, and she didn¡¯t even have time to eat breakfast. It seemed that she had to wait until she reached Yunqi before she could eat. Joes sighed slightly. Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Could it be Chen zuolin?

Just as Qiao Si was frowning, Chen zuolin seemed to have sensed something. He put down the document and raised his eyes slightly,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling ufortable?¡± The quiet atmosphere in the car was suddenly broken. Joes was stunned and shook her head,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine,¡±she said. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± The two words were spoken with a slight smile. The moment he said that, Jossi could not refute him. She blushed slightly and lowered her head to avoid being discovered because she was indeed a little hungry. Chen zuolin saw that joesse did not reply and more or less understood what she meant. After all, he was the one who had brought her away in the morning. Thinking of this, Chen zuolin turned around and ordered,¡±Little Qin, go get some food for miss Qiao.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± The male assistant responded, then got up and went to the front to get food. There was some food prepared in the car, but it was not hot food. Most of it was toasts, bread, and ham bread. Joes was famished and could not care less about that. She started eating with the water. After the food entered his stomach, he finally felt alive. However, this was not her territory after all. Joesse restrained herself when she was eating, so as not to let the boss see her ugly state. Indeed, the hungrier one was, the more fragrant the food would be. Even the in toast and bread tasted good to Joes. ...... After finishing the toast, the bottle of water was almost empty. Joes leaned back in her seat and rested for a while. Chen zuolin could not help but ask,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, if you need more, I¡¯ll get little Qin to get more.¡± When she heard this, she quickly waved her hand.¡±¡±No, thank you, President Chen.¡± Joes was not a pig. She had already finished a bag of toast, so how could she have the stomach to continue eating? Chen zuolin probably thought that she wasn¡¯t full yet, so he said that. ¡°President Zheng should be at Yun Qi¡¯s wind citypany.¡± Chen zuolin suddenly said and reported Zheng Zeyi¡¯s current location. Hearing that, Jossi raised her eyebrows, not knowing how to answer. She had intended to go to Yunqi directly to find grandma Chen, but since Zheng Zeyi was there, she might be able to ask him for help. In short, everything would have to wait until Yun Qi arrived. For the next few hours, it was still very quiet in the car. The three of them barely had any conversation. Joes was also seriously looking through some of the knowledge rted to design to make up for her shorings. As she was engrossed, time passed even faster. Then ... After a four-hour car ride, the business car finally arrived in Yunqi. Through the car window, Joes saw a familiar Street. It was the Jade Street that she had visited with everyone when she was on a business trip. Because of the first day of the new year, the Jade Street was even more lively. All kinds of shops and stalls had the word ¡°fortune¡± on them, looking extremely festive. Every family was out shopping in new clothes. asionally, they could hear the sound of firecrackers in the distance, which was filled with the joy of the new year. Looking at the familiar ce, joesse smiled and felt at ease. ¡°Chief Chen, why don¡¯t you let me down here?¡± Joes turned her head and said, only to find Chen zuolin looking at her. Jade Street happened to be right outside, very close to grandma Chen¡¯s house. Fortunately, Joes ¡®memory was not bad. She could still remember the location of the building that she had been to previously. There should not be any mistakes. After he got out of the car, he would rent a hotel to put his things in, buy some gifts, and then he could directly visit grandma Chen. ¡°You¡¯re getting off here?¡± Chen zuolin asked in return. Joesse nodded as the corners of her lips curled up. She was still very grateful for Chen zuolin¡¯s free ride. Seeing that she was so insistent, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t say anything. He gave an order to the driver, and the business car stopped at the entrance of Jade Street. Joes got out of the car, took her luggage, and said to the car window,¡±¡±Thank you for the ride, President Chen. I¡¯ll thank you again next time.¡± With that, she turned around and pushed her suitcase into Jade Street, her back view beautiful and charming. Through the window, Chen zuolin looked for a while before he retracted his gaze. However, she didn¡¯t realize that the corners of her mouth had involuntarily lifted a little, and there was even a smile in her eyes. This had never happened before. The male assistant noticed something and his eyes lit up.¡±¡±President, are you interested in that miss Qiao?¡± Upon hearing this, Chen zuolin¡¯s smile instantly disappeared, and he returned to his cold and aloof appearance. He nced at the male assistant and said seriously,¡±¡±Don¡¯t talk nonsense, just drive. ¡± After that, the car set off again to their destination. Although the male assistant didn¡¯t quite believe it, he didn¡¯t dare to refute and could only swallow his words. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, Joes had just entered Jade Street. He hadn¡¯t felt it thoroughly enough in the car just now. It was only when he really walked on the street that he could personally experience the new year atmosphere that filled every corner. Even joesse¡¯s brows were tinged with joy, and her mood improved. There were many people on Jade Street and it looked a little crowded. Joes found the only hotel on the street and walked in with her luggage. Although it was called a hotel, the decoration was very light and luxurious. It was not an exaggeration to call it a hotel. Joes raised her brows and had a bad feeling. The price here must have exceeded her expectations. But now that he was rich, he would only stay for a few days. At this thought, joesse pushed her suitcase to the front desk. There was a pretty girl at the front desk, wearing a ck work uniform and a short skirt. Now, he looked at her and smiled.¡±¡±Hello, Sir. Are you here for amodation?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Joes nodded and took out her identification card and cash for the receptionist to handle. At this moment, two people in suits passed by her. They looked like hotel managers. ¡°We can only do as President Chen said. Remember to tell your Departmentter.¡± One of the men said. The other man nodded. The two of them had serious expressions on their faces. After that, they didn¡¯t say anything else and left the hotel. Looks like he¡¯s an employee of somepany ... Jossi pondered for a while, but could note up with anything. As for the president Chen that the two of them were talking about, could it be Chen zuolin? Joes could not help but sigh at her own whimsical thoughts. There were so many people with the surname Chen, but not all of them were Chen zuolin. Perhaps they just had the same surname. After all, the only CEO she knew was Chen zuolin. After thinking through this matter, the front deskdy had just entered the information into theputer and settled it. After settling in at the hotel, Joes left her clothes and other things that were not too important in the hotel before heading out. Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Did you take it?

After sitting in the business car for a few hours, he had only eaten a bag of toast. He was famished. The first thing he did after leaving the hotel was to find a restaurant. After Joes randomly picked one, she finally came out after more than ten minutes of eating and drinking. ¡°I don¡¯t know what kind of present I should buy for grandma Chen ...¡± Joesse mumbled. She suddenly did not know where to go on the huge Jade Street. If she were to buy a gift for the elderly, health care products would be better. With the idea in mind, it went much smoother. Joesse found a store that specialized in selling health care products and bought items that cost nearly a thousand dors. Only then did she feel a little more at ease. It wasn¡¯t that joesse was spending money recklessly, but the book that grandma Chen had given her was too valuable. To her, it was a priceless treasure. If the gift prepared was too degrading, she would feel bad too. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Upon hearing this familiar voice, joesse picked up her phone and nced at it. Her pupils immediately constricted. She did not expect it to be a call from Zheng Zeyi. Could it be that ... She already knew that he was in Yunqi? After picking up the phone, before Joes could say anything, a maic voice came from the other end of the phone with an inexplicable aura,¡±¡±Where are you?¡± ...... After saying that, Qiao si pursed her lips and looked at the name on the screen several times. In the end, he chose topromise. ¡°I¡¯m in Yunqi. I just arrived. ¡± After saying that, Joes lowered her head guiltily, though she did not know why she was feeling guilty. ¡°Yun Qi?¡± Zheng Zeyi retorted with a doubtful tone, as if he did not know that joesse hade to Yunqi. After saying that, Joes let out a sigh of relief and said,¡±¡±Yes, it¡¯s thepany¡¯s holiday. I¡¯ve finished dealing with the Qiao family¡¯s matters, so I thought of visiting Grandma Chen.¡± There was a brief silence. A momentter, Zheng Zeyi chuckled and broke the silence.¡±¡±You still have some thoughts.¡± These words ... Did he look like someone without a mind? Joes cursed in her heart, but she did not dare to say it out loud. She confirmed with her eyes that the two big bosses, Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin, were people she could not afford to offend. ¡°What did you buy?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked. Joes looked at the bag in her hand, not sure if grandma Chen would like these things. As expected, she should have asked Zheng Zeyi before buying it. What a miscalction. pping her head in frustration, Jossi said,¡±¡±I just bought some health care products. What do you like, grandma Chen? I¡¯m not too sure about this. ¡± Zheng Zeyi thought for a while.¡±¡±This is good enough, just bring it over.¡± Since even Zheng Zeyi had said so, naturally, joesse had nothing to refute and could only agree. The two of them did not say much. Zheng ze hung up the phone after asking where she was. Joes was about to keep her phone. However, she found another text message from the other party. Zheng Zeyi,¡±be more polite, little wild cat.¡± The first part of her sentence was still considered normal, but thest three words made Joes unable to ept it. Joes¡¯s fingers stayed on the keyboard for a long time. She did not know what message to reply to, so she sighed and replied with an ¡®I got it¡¯. It was already noon, and Joes had just finished her lunch. The warm sun hung in the sky, emitting golden rays of light. Although the sky was still very cold, with the illumination of the sun, it felt a little warmer. Joesse¡¯s position did not allow her to get any sunlight, and the wind was a little cold. She rubbed her hands together and held the gift bag tightly. Following the path in her memory, she was ready to visit grandma Chen. Fortunately, Joes remembered correctly. After making a few turns, she finally stopped in front of the small building. It had snowed in Yunqist night, but it had stopped in the morning. Joes had not felt it that strongly on Jade Street. However, when they arrived at this small building, they were a little stunned, because the snow on Jade Street had long been cleaned up. The trees next to the building were covered in white, and the branches were covered in snow. The roof of the building was probably covered in snow as well. Only the ground beneath joesse¡¯s feet had been treated. It was a little slippery when she stepped on it, and there should be a thinyer of ice. From here, she could see that the sides of many beds were covered in snow. Joes ¡®hands itched as she looked at it. After all, although city h was cold, it was not to the extent of snow. Yunqi was much colder than h city, and he wondered if he would be able to see heavy snow at night. With that thought in mind, joesse could not help but smile. She carried the bag and walked into the small building. As grandma Chen lived on a higher floor, she had to climb the stairs for a while before she arrived. The seventh floor ... Compared to thest time, Joes¡¯s physical strength was much better. At the very least, she was not panting heavily anymore. She raised her hand and felt a little nervous. Finally, she made up her mind and knocked on the door twice.¡±Knock, knock!¡± There was a knock on the door. Standing in front of the door, Joes seemed to have heard footsteps from inside. Finally, she stood in front of the door and heard the sound of the door lock. ¡°Squeak ...¡± The door opened, and Joes was faced with grandma Chen¡¯s wrinkled and slightly kind face. Stunned for a moment, Joes quickly revealed a smile and lowered her head slightly to greet him,¡±¡±Hello, grandma Chen. I¡¯ve been here with Zheng Zeyi before. I¡¯m here to visit you.¡± Hearing this, grandma Chen also smiled. She turned sideways to let the person in before closing the door. Joes sat on the sofa, her hands ced on her knees in a somewhat reserved manner. ¡°Have some hot tea, it¡¯s cold outside.¡± Grandma Chen brought over a cup of hot tea and ced it in front of joesse. ¡°Thank you, grandma Chen,¡± Joes said with a sweet smile. She took the tea, blew on it, and took a sip. She felt her stomach warm up and the coldness was gone. After taking a few sips of tea, Joes ced the teacup on the table and picked up the gift bag at the side, saying,¡±¡±Grandma Chen, this is a gift I brought for you. It¡¯s nothing good, just a little token of my appreciation.¡± However, grandma Chen was smiling, not showing any dissatisfaction at all. She reached out to take the bag, but joesse noticed that there were many calluses on grandma Chen¡¯s hands, which were probably left behind in the past. ¡°Child, did Zheng give you the book he tookst time?¡± Grandma Chenughed. In fact, she had already seen through everything. After all, Zheng Zeyi was not in contact with the jewelry industry. Why would he take that book for no reason? The only reason was this girl. Joes was a little nervous, but she nodded in the end.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, grandma Chen. I took your book without your permission.¡± Joes had wanted to apologize for a long time, but she never had the chance toe to Yunqi. Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The rtionship between a fianc¨¦ and fianc¨¦e

After all, Zheng Zeyi was the one who took the book away, but the book ended up in her hands. She had never met grandma Chen before and did not know her at all. He had to let her know that he had taken something so valuable. That was why Qiao si hade to Yunqi today and insisted on visiting Grandma Chen. This was her motive. Unexpectedly, when grandma Chen heard this apology, she immediately shook her head.¡±¡±Child, don¡¯t think like that. It¡¯s lucky that some things can be passed down.¡± Grandma Chen¡¯s expression was a little emotional, as if she had recalled something from many years ago. Joes was very quiet at the side and did not make a sound to disturb them. After a while, grandma Chen came back to her senses and sighed slightly. ¡°Child, what¡¯s your name?¡± Grandma Chen asked curiously. Joes smiled.¡±Grandma Chen, my name is Joes. You can just call me sisi.¡± Grandma Chen nodded and looked at joesse with a slightly aged expression.¡±¡±Sis...You¡¯re a good kid. You¡¯re a jewelry designer, right?¡± The value of the book could only be shown by those who studied this major. If it was someone who studied other majors, even if they really saw it, they might not think that it was important. Only when it came to the right person could it reflect the corresponding value. This was what grandma Chen thought. It was just a pity that after so many years, he had not found a suitable candidate. If he had found it, the book wouldn¡¯t have been left with him until now. ...... Then, Zheng Zeyi suddenly came to take the book and gave it to the little girl. Somehow, this was also an opportunity for joesse. ¡°Yes, grandma Chen.¡± Joes was not surprised. Grandma Chen said ¡°good¡± a few times in a row. She got up and took out a newspaper. It seemed to be a Daily News from a long time ago. Joes was slightly puzzled as she looked at the contents. It was about a few decades ago, when grandma Chen was also a famous jewelry designer. Many of her works were sold at sky-high prices, and she was a genuine top designer. Joes could not help but feel surprised. She had guessed that grandma Chen might be an excellent designer, but she did not expect her to be this excellent. He could be said to be at the top of that era and had a strong influence. That¡¯s right. If he didn¡¯t have the ability, how could he have written that book about jewelry design? At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s attitude became even more respectful as she said,¡±¡±Grandma Chen, thank you for your book. It really helped me a lot.¡± That ¡®cloud¡¯ design from back then had also taken reference from the contents of the book of design in many ces, and in the end, it had be so perfect. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past,¡± grandma Chen said with a smile.¡±It¡¯s your era now.¡± ¡°No... Grandma Chen, even if it¡¯s over, the impact it left behind willst forever. An outstanding designer has spent his entire life designing world-shocking jewelry, and the things he left behind should be remembered by future generations. ¡± Joes spoke each word with determination. This was also what she was thinking. After hearing this, grandma Chen was stunned for a while. When she came back to her senses, her smile became even more kind. ¡°Child, I think we hit it off quite well. Let¡¯s have dinner here. You wouldn¡¯t mind that I¡¯m too old, would you?¡± Grandma Chen said jokingly. Jossi shook her head.¡±No way! Thank you for your hospitality, grandma Chen.¡± After that, Joes and grandma Chen sat in the living room and exchanged their jewelry design experiences. Many of the clouds in Joes ¡®mind suddenly cleared up, and her eyes became much clearer. This knowledge was a huge fortune to her. Grandma Chen continued,¡±every piece of jewelry designed by the designer is unique and full of emotion. The book I gave you is veryplete, whether it¡¯s the polishing or cutting methods.¡± If you want to design something that can resonate with nature, first ... You have to go and see it. ¡± Joes listened attentively and even took out a small notebook to take notes. As a newbie on this path, she could only work harder to climb up step by step. ¡°First, use your eyes to see and feel it. Once you¡¯ve remembered this feeling, you can design on the draft. It¡¯ll be much easier for you.¡± Grandma Chen¡¯s tone was a little sad. ¡°Thank you, grandma Chen.¡± Joes closed her notebook, feeling that she had benefited greatly. Hearing this, grandma Chen shook her head slightly and waved her hand to indicate that you¡¯re wee. Then, she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Joes was sitting in the living room, thinking about what grandma Chen had just said. He would strive to remember every single point of knowledge. At the same time, she admired grandma Chen even more. She was indeed the top jewelry designer of that era. Although many of her views were different from now, she still benefited a lot. After about ten minutes, grandma Chen finished cooking. Joes helped to bring the dishes to the table, and the two sat opposite each other. Grandma Chen should be the only one living in the small building. It was very quiet, so maybe this small building belonged to grandma Chen. The table was filled with ordinary food, but it tasted very good and gave off the fragrance of the food. ¡°Then I¡¯ll eat it, grandma Chen.¡± Joes said with a smile. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. It was neither too salty nor too light, and the taste was just right. Even if he had left the design industry, his other skills were not bad. He was really an expert. Joes and grandma Chen ate quietly. There were only soft rejections on the table and the sound of chopsticks hitting the te. A momentter, grandma Chen put down her bowl and asked curiously,¡±Sisi, what¡¯s your rtionship with Zheng?¡± Joesse¡¯s chopsticks stopped moving. She felt a little embarrassed to be asked such a question. Although yang Yueyue felt good when she was pped in the face, she didn¡¯t think too much about it. She didn¡¯t expect so many things to happen. It seemed like she had to find a chance to ask Zheng Zeyi and see what he was thinking. Suppressing her thoughts, the corners of Joes ¡®lips curled up as she said with a faint smile,¡±¡±Grandma Chen, hasn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi told you about this?¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t,¡± Grandma Chen shook her head. Joesse pursed her lips and looked up at grandma Chen. She said softly,¡±¡±He and I ... We¡¯re now considered to be engaged.¡± Upon hearing this, grandma Chen¡¯s appetite for food waspletely wiped away. Her chopsticks stopped in mid-air, not knowing whether to take them back or not. She just stared nkly at Jossi. Sensing his heated gaze, Joes blinked and lowered her head. Chapter 87

Chapter 87: This is my wallet

Then, she asked in confusion,¡±¡±Grandma Chen, what¡¯s wrong?¡± This sentence pulled grandma Chen back to reality. She showed a sincere smile and shook her head helplessly.¡±¡±Don¡¯t be scared by me. It¡¯s just that after so many years, I¡¯ve never heard of little Zheng having a fianc¨¦e.¡± Grandma Chen¡¯s tone was filled with joy, as if she was happy for Zheng Zeyi. On the other hand, Qiao sisi was even more confused. It seemed that Lin Xiu ¡®er and Zheng Zeyi had broken up for a long time. Otherwise, grandma Chen would not have such a tone. He didn¡¯t know what had happened at that time ... ¡°Grandma Chen, we just decided on this recently. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± Joes exined. Grandma Chen waved her hand. She didn¡¯t care about this. After that, grandma Chen exined it to her, and joesse finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Zheng ze had a neighbor when he was a child. She was the top designer, grandma Chen, who was at the peak of her career at that time. That was also when Zheng lihan had just cheated on her. After that, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother died in the hospital, and grandma Chen helped out a lot. In addition, she retired from the jewelry design industry. Seeing that old master Zheng had returned, they left the area. After a long time, Zheng Zeyi finally found grandma Chen again. It was also at this time that the two of them began to contact each other more often, causing Zheng ze toe to Yun Qi to visit her from time to time. ...... After listening to the story, Qiao sisi finally understood how grandma Chen and Zheng Zeyi met. They looked like two people who had no connection to each other, but they were once neighbors. Thinking about Zheng ze¡¯s childhood experience, Qiao si felt an inexplicable heartache, but she did not know where it came from. ¡°I heard that little Zheng had a girlfriend before, but I don¡¯t know about her anymore.¡± Grandma Chen seemed to have suddenly recalled something. The ¡®before¡¯ she was referring to was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend, Lin Xiu ¡®er. After hearing that, joesse understood and changed the topic without changing her expression, in case grandma Chen asked again how they met. How was Joes supposed to make up a story about love at first sight in a bar? She was still embarrassed and angry when she thought about what happened that night. Who knew that she would sleep with her enemy¡¯s cousin while drinking? Grandma Chen and Qiao sisi got along well and only prepared to leave when it was almost six in the evening. Because of the cold weather, the sky was getting dark quickly. Although it was only Sixo¡¯ clock, the sky was already dark. The moonlight was not as bright as the summer, and it seemed a little dark. Joes looked out of the window, stood up, and said,¡±¡±Grandma Chen, it¡¯s gettingte. I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. I¡¯lle and visit you again tomorrow if I have time.¡± Grandma Chen was worried. ¡°Sisi, it¡¯s already sote. A girl shouldn¡¯t go out alone. Why don¡¯t you stay at grandma Chen¡¯s ce for the night and go back tomorrow?¡± After hearing this, joesse¡¯s eyes were filled with gratitude. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, grandma Chen. The hotel I¡¯m staying at is just a few steps away. We¡¯ll be there soon.¡± Seeing how persistent she was, grandma Chen sighed and no longer stopped her. The staircases were extremely dark at night, and since this small building did not have voice-controlled lights, Jossi could only walk down with the help of her phone¡¯s shlight. ¡°Da da da ...¡± The sound of footsteps rang out in the empty corridor. Every step that Joes took echoed, so she was used to this. He looked at the door te of this building. It was already the third floor, and he would reach the bottom soon. Joes heaved a sigh of relief. A bad premonition lingered in her heart, but she suppressed it. He clenched the Taser in his pocket tightly, and his expression was a little serious. When she reached the door, Joes scanned her surroundings. It was very quiet at night, and there were very few people around. Ink covered the ground, and dog barks could be heard asionally. Joes followed the path she had taken in the morning and prepared to return to Jade Street. The road was more winding and needed to turn several roads. Just as Joes was making her way into a small alley, she suddenly felt all the hair on her body stand up. A sense of danger shot up to her head. The alley was extremely quiet, but she realized that there was someone here! ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± A middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from behind, and there was even a bright dagger pressed against his waist. In an instant, joesse almost screamed out loud. However, to prevent herself from triggering the middle-aged man¡¯s reaction, she quickly covered her mouth with one hand. Her other hand was hidden in her pocket, holding the Taser tightly. Her palm was already covered in sweat, showing how nervous she was. He had still miscalcted ... Joes did not expect someone to be following her. Furthermore, there was no sound of footsteps. One look and she could tell that this was a repeat offender. He often did this kind of thing and was very experienced. From this angle, she had no way to take out her Taser, not to mention that there was a sharp dagger at her waist. A moment of carelessness could result in him losing both his wealth and his life! Joes tried her best to make her voice not tremble as much as she could. She took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±What do you want? money, right?¡± What she had to do now was to lower the guard of the man behind her. Only then would she have a chance of survival. After hearing joesse¡¯s words, the man behind her grinned. His voice was extremely unpleasant, as if he did not want joesse to find out what his voice was like. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so sensible. If you know what¡¯s good for you, then hand over all the money in your bag!¡± After saying that, he pressed the dagger against her waist with more force. Joes felt that her clothes had been pierced, and the cold feeling was extremely clear. Calm down ... I must calm down! Joes¡¯s heart was beating extremely fast, but she continued to calm herself down. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you the money,¡± he said.¡±I¡¯ll give it to you now. Don¡¯t do it.¡± Hearing that, the man hesitated for a moment. He did not expect Joes to cooperate with him so much, so he said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not going to touch you. Hand over the money, hurry up!¡± Joesse¡¯s pupils shrank. She put her hand that was covering her mouth into her bag and searched for her wallet. The man behind her seemed to be a little nervous.¡±¡±Hurry up! Don¡¯t dilly-dally. Do you believe that I¡¯ll just take action?¡± Sensing that the tip of the dagger was about to Pierce her skin, Joes gritted her teeth and took out her ck leather wallet from her bag. ¡°Don ¡®t, don¡¯ t. Big brother, this is my wallet. I¡¯m giving it to you now.¡± When the man behind her saw this, he revealed a satisfied expression. However, just as he was about to reach out and take the wallet, something happened! Joes¡¯s eyes widened, and her gaze suddenly became determined. This Is The Moment! Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Don¡¯te over, don¡¯te over

She threw the wallet far away without hesitation. Since the man was choosing his belongings, he would definitely go for the wallet first. This way, she would have a chance to escape! As expected, when the man saw that his wallet had been thrown away by Joes, he immediately ran out to get it back. It was also at this moment that Joes felt the dagger at her waist leave. Without any hesitation, she immediately fled. By the time the man picked up the wallet, Joes had already run far away. The reason why she didn¡¯t hesitate was that her own safety was more important. Another reason was that she only had a little cash in her wallet. Her bank card was ced behind her phone, so there was no need to worry. The man opened the wallet and found some cash in it. He suddenly felt a lump in his throat. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Joes ran forward with all her might, and when she heard the angry roars of the man behind her, she used even more of her strength. The alleyway, which usually had some pedestrians, seemed to have disappeared today. They ran for a long time without seeing a single person. ¡°Bang!¡± Joes had just looked behind her and was not paying attention to the situation in front when she suddenly bumped into someone¡¯s chest. In an instant, she felt as if she was seeing stars. ...... After a long while, Joris finally came back to her senses. She touched the bridge of her nose, which was throbbing with pain, and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry ... I wasn¡¯t looking where I was going. ¡± As soon as she looked up, she saw a familiar and handsome face, which made her stunned. Joes could not believe what she had just seen. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. The person in front of her was still the same person. There was no change. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing here?¡± Joes cried out in shock. That¡¯s right, the person standing in front of her was Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi was wearing a ck suit with his hands in his pockets. His eyes seemed to be shining with a strange light in the dark night, making people sink into them. Joes could not help but swallow her saliva. However, he suddenly said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± After all, Qiao sisi had run away in such a hurry just now and would even look behind her from time to time. Naturally, Zheng Zeyi had taken all of that into his eyes, which was why he had asked this question. His words woke Joes up and she instantly became anxious again,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, let¡¯s run! There¡¯s a robber chasing after me and he has a knife!¡± However, it seemed to be toote. The armed robber had caught up with him, and he was a little breathless after running for a long distance. When he stopped, the man¡¯s eyes widened when he saw Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si. It was really strange. He had just looked around and there was no one nearby. Where did this mane from? ¡°Is this the person?¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes slightly and said with a slightly dangerous tone. When the man saw her gaze, he felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He could not help but have goosebumps and his scalp went numb. Jossi nodded and pointed at the man.¡±¡±That¡¯s right. It¡¯s him. He even stole my wallet.¡± Even though she said that, she still moved closer to Zheng Zeyi and said softly,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go first. He has a knife, so we should be careful.¡± The money in the wallet meant nothing to joesse. Naturally, their safety was the most important. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi shook his head and smiled.¡±¡±No, I think it¡¯s very interesting.¡± ¡°What?¡± Even Joes could not believe what she had just heard. In front of him was a knife-wielding robber, but not only was Zheng Zeyi not afraid, he even said that he found it interesting? The man didn¡¯t hear the conversation between the two. Cold sweat kepting out of his forehead. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and raised his knife. ¡°Hand over all your money and I¡¯ll let you go,¡± The man¡¯s voice was trembling. He had been robbing in this area for so long, but this was the first time he had met someone like Zheng Zeyi. His gaze was too terrifying. Even he could not help but feel afraid. Qiao SI¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed as she stood beside Zheng Zeyi. Her heart that was beating very quickly earlier had calmed down a little and was not as scared as before. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you the money just now. That¡¯s all I have!¡± Hearing this, the man¡¯s eyes flickered. He raised the knife and said,¡±¡±Cut the crap. What about the man beside you? hurry up and take out all your money.¡± After saying that, he took a few steps forward. The tip of the knife glowed with a silver light, looking extremely terrifying. Just as joesse was about to speak, Zheng Zeyi stopped her.¡±¡±Stand back a little. From now on ... It¡¯s very dangerous. Don¡¯t hurt yourself.¡± After hearing this, Qiao si pondered for a moment. Just as she was about to ask, she realized that Zheng Zeyi had already walked over, and every step he took was apanied by a strong sense of oppression. ¡°You ... What are you doing? don¡¯te over!¡± The man took the knife and stepped back. Even his hands were trembling as he said,¡±¡±Did you hear that? don¡¯te over when I see you!¡± However, Zheng Zeyi did not seem to hear him. He walked forward step by step, as if he had be one with the darkness. Joes watched from behind and shouted,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, be careful!¡± It was also at this moment that Zheng Zeyi made his move! Just as the man was about to stab Zheng Zeyi with the knife, Joes ¡®eyes widened. There were many things she wanted to say, but she was so nervous that she could not say a single word. Fortunately, she did not need to worry about Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Bang!¡± There was a loud noise on the ground. Zheng Zeyi had already snatched the dagger and thrown the man to the ground. In an instant, a lot of dust was stirred up, like smoke. When joesse saw that Zheng Zeyi was fine and had evenpleted a counterattack, her hanging heart finally settled down and she heaved a sigh of relief. She did not even realize how worried she was about Zheng Zeyi. After the man was thrown to the ground, he felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken. He kept rolling and struggling on the ground, but he couldn¡¯t get up. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi took a few steps forward with a smile on his face. The dagger was still in his palm. That smile, in the man¡¯s eyes, was like a devil. He kept shaking his head and wanted to step back, his mouth still mumbling,¡±¡±Don¡¯te over, don¡¯te over. ¡± It was clear that he was indeed scared out of his wits by Zheng Zeyi. After all, he was the CEO of the Zheng Corporation. Not only did he have amazing business capabilities, but his martial arts skills were also unimaginable and had reached an extremely high level. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s maic voice rang out. Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Are you a pig?

The man gritted his teeth and lowered his head in silence. Then, he heard another voice above him.¡±Get lost!¡± Hearing this word, a glimmer of hope rose in the man¡¯s heart. He had thought that he had no way to live! The man got up from the ground in an instant. He ignored the pain from just now and ran out of the alley with all his might. Zheng Zeyi smiled and took out his phone to call his assistant.¡±¡±There¡¯s a man running around Jade Street. Take care of him.¡± Assistant li was a little confused, but she didn¡¯t ask.¡±¡±Yes, President!¡± Those who were familiar with Zheng Zeyi knew that the robber just now ... Was probably going to be in big trouble. After all, Qiao si and Zheng Zeyi had lived together for so long, so she understood his character to some extent. It was one thing for that man to rob her, but he even dared to provoke Zheng ze. If he was not unlucky, who was? Joes thought to herself, but she did not know that a certain someone was so angry because of her. ¡°By the way, Zheng Zeyi, why are you here?¡± Joesse asked curiously when she saw Zheng Zeyi put away his phone. Zheng Zeyi looked at her indifferently, picked up the wallet that the man had left on the ground, and walked over. He handed the wallet to Joes and smiled, saying,¡±¡±I came to Yunqi to settle some matters, but you ... Came to Yunqi alone?¡± Even though it was a question, Joes could hear a hint of a smile in it. ...... After all, she didn¡¯te here alone. She had hitched a ride with Chen zuolin, even though they were business partners. However, Joes was not too sure about the exact rtionship, which led to her feeling a little guilty. She did not know how to answer the question. ¡°You didn¡¯te alone?¡± The curve on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips widened, and his bright eyes seemed to be able to see through all lies. Since things hade to this, there was no point in Joes hiding it. Gritting her teeth, she raised her head and said,¡±¡±I ... Didn¡¯te alone. That Chen zuolin, President Chen, was alsoing to Yunqi, so I took a ride.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the scene immediately fell silent. A gentle breeze blew past, lifting the hair on Qiao SI¡¯s forehead. Zheng Zeyi stood in front of her without moving. His hands were in his pockets, and his eyes were like stars as he stared at her. In an instant, joesse felt her heart beat faster. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips were still curled up in a smile, and the corners of his eyes were slightly curved. It was night time, but his entire body seemed to be gathering light. Joes blinked her eyes, feeling as if she was about to sink into it. She hurriedly shifted her gaze away and lowered her head slightly to hide her strange expression. After a long while, Zheng Zeyi finally opened his mouth and slowly spat out two words,¡±¡±Chen zuolin?¡± His tone was a little dangerous and thought-provoking. For a moment, people could not react. Joes nodded her head slightly and suppressed the guilty feeling in her heart. She had merely hitchhiked on a ride and did not do anything else. ¡°He¡¯s the one we met at the hot spring Vist time.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Zheng Zeyi replied, but he dragged out thest syble as his eyes shone with a strange light. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, I¡¯ll send you back. ¡± Zheng ze changed the topic as if nothing had happened. Joes nodded and kept her purse. The two of them walked towards the bustling Jade Street at night, their steps slowing down. The two figures dragged longer and longer under the faint light of the streetmp. ¡­¡­¡­ Jade Street at night was more lively than it was during the day. In addition to Jade, there were some hawkers selling snacks at the entrance of the street. After all, a Street without snacks was an iplete Street. The fragrance drifted over with the breeze, and after Joes caught a whiff of it, she could not help but be tempted. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, do you want to have some barbeque?¡± Joes raised her brows and could not help butment. Her tone was filled with joy. It was rare to see such a lively night market in Yunqi at night, so it would be a pity if he didn¡¯t eat something. Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he heard her words. He then looked at joesse and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t eat these. ¡± Joes pouted. Forget it if you don¡¯t want to eat. However, she was indeed wrong. As a child of the Zheng family, Zheng Zeyi must have grown up eating all sorts of delicacies. How could he possibly eat at these roadside stalls? Even if it was cheap, one might not be able to eat clean ones. However, joesse did not care so much. She did not grow up in a life of luxury. Her greatest joy when she was young was to ask for snacks from her family. Naturally, she would not mind it now. There was a saying that being able to eat was a blessing. ¡°Okay ... Since you don¡¯t want to eat it, I¡¯ll go and eat it myself.¡± Joes said. When she saw the barbecue stall, her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly. Zheng ze stopped in his tracks and frowned slightly. Even though he did not like the smell here, he still followed behind joesse. This barbecue stall was very popr, and the line was very long. Joes waited for a long time at the back. When it was finally her turn, she saw the ingredients on the table and revealed a sweet smile. ¡°Boss, give me ten skewers ofmb, ten skewers of sausages, and ...¡± Joesse ordered a bunch of barbecue, paid in cash, and waited at the side with Zheng Zeyi. Zheng ze pursed his lips and smiled helplessly when he saw her look of anticipation.¡±¡±Is barbeque really that good? Little wild cat. ¡± After saying that, Joes looked at him and automatically ignored three of the frivolous words. She said,¡±¡±Of course. You haven¡¯t eaten it before, have you?¡± Zheng Zeyi paused and squinted his eyes. I haven¡¯t eaten it at the roadside stalls, but I¡¯ve eaten the barbecue at the hotel. ¡± As soon as these words came out, the level suddenly changed. Joes was stunned for a long time and did not know what to say. Just as she was about to say something, the barbeque was ready and she quickly went to get it. All of them were ced in a paper bag, which Joes wrapped in paper towels to prevent the oil from leaking to her hands. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression became even more disdainful when he saw this. Jossi did not look at him. The barbeque in the paper bag was constantly seducing his taste buds. With a smile on her face, she picked up a kebab skewer and took a bite. It was slightly spicy, and the seasoning was just right. It felt very good. The moment she started eating, Joes could not stop. When she and Zheng Zeyi reached the entrance of the hotel, the bag of barbeque was finished, but she still wanted more. Zheng Zeyi was silent for two seconds before he could not help but say,¡±¡±Are you a pig?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one!¡± Joesse red at Zheng Zeyi, then turned around when she saw the hotel in front of her. Chapter 90

Chapter 90: There¡¯s still a chance to meet

¡°I¡¯m here. Anyway, thank you for today. I¡¯ll thank you next time. Rest early. ¡± After saying that, Joes gratefullyughed to death and walked into the hotel. However, the person behind her did not leave. In fact, he even followed her in, his footsteps unhurried as he followed behind her. Joes turned around and saw that Zheng Zeyi had not left. She could not help but ask doubtfully,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, are you ... Not going back?¡± A faint smile appeared on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face as he said slowly,¡±¡±I¡¯m also staying in this hotel. ¡± His words were like a sudden p of thunder. Qiao si did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be staying in the same hotel as her. She had thought that since he was on a business trip in Yunqi, he would definitely stay in a hotel or get a Presidential Suite or something. In the end, she had thought too much. Zheng Zeyi did not do that at all, joesse thought to herself. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be leaving then.¡± Zheng Zeyi looked into the distance. His eyes flickered and he strode over, making it impossible for anyone to catch up. Fortunately, Joes did not have any intention of chasing after him. After taking a look, she turned around and returned to her room. Too many things had happened that day. She had gotten a free ride from Chen zuolin, visited grandma Chen, and even encountered a robber on her way home. Thinking about the knife-wielding robber, Joes still felt a lingering fear in her heart. ...... If Zheng Zeyi had not appeared, she really had no idea what would have happened next. ¡°Phew ...¡± Slowly exhaling, Joes calmed her emotions and leaned against the headboard to read. She had actually finished reading the book on jewelry design that grandma Chen had given her a long time ago. She was still reviewing it now, but she just wanted to understand it more. As he looked, a gentle breathing sound came from the bed. The night was dark and there was not a single star. The entire sky was dark and gloomy, but it made one sleep with great peace of mind. ¡­¡­¡­ In the next few days, Qiao si initially wanted to thank Zheng Zeyi. After all, he had helped her a lot and solved many problems. However, Zheng Zeyi seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Qiao si often waited in the hotel, but she could not find Zheng Zeyi¡¯s men. She did not know where he had gone to. Hence, joesse had been staying at grandma Chen¡¯s house for the past few days. She would asionally help with the cleaning of the room, wash the dishes, or learn some knowledge. After a few days, joesse felt that her design knowledge had changed greatly from her previous self. The personal guidance of a former top designer was no child¡¯s y. That day was thest day before the Spring Festival holiday. There was not much time left, and Qiao si could not stay in Yun Qi any longer. ¡°Grandma Chen ... If there¡¯s a chance next time, I¡¯lle to Yunqi to see you.¡± Joes said with some reluctance. Grandma Chen stood in front of the door with a kind smile on her face. Then, she handed her a Brown Kraft Paper Bag. Then, grandma Chen said without hesitation,¡±¡±This is grandma¡¯s parting gift to you. If you don¡¯t ept it, don¡¯te again.¡± After hearing this, joesse could only ept the gift. Fortunately, she had also prepared something. Since grandma Chen was older, she didn¡¯t know what to give her. Coincidentally, a few days ago at Jin Yupany, Qiao si si ¡®s¡¯ cloud ¡®earrings had already been made. He had also sent a few pairs to Qiao si, and they had already arrived a few days ago. The earring was ced in an exquisite gift box. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. Joes¡¯s design drafts were already considered high-end jewelry. Only high-end jewelry stores would sell such jewelry. ¡°Grandma Chen, I don¡¯t know what to give you. This is a piece of jewelry I designed. Take a look and see if you like it.¡± After saying that, joesse handed the gift box over expectantly. Grandma Chen epted it without any hesitation. In fact, she could be considered half a teacher to joesse. Even though she did not bring her into the game, she had spared no effort in teaching her knowledge in this area. He didn¡¯t expect that the child would give him such a good gift before he left. Grandma Chen opened the gift box and was stunned when she saw the earrings. The earrings in the gift box were exquisitely made and had beautiful lines, especially the White gems. They really looked like the formless and irregr clouds in the sky. Just by looking at this pair of earrings, one could tell what kind of mentality the designer had when designing it. Grandma Chen smiled and closed the gift box gently, as if she was treating a treasure. ¡°Sisi, your work of art ... Is very good.¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes revealed a look of surprise as she smiled and said,¡±¡±Really, grandma Chen? I¡¯m d you like it.¡± ¡°I like it a lot. I hope you can design more excellent works.¡± Grandma Chen said with a kind smile. To be able to spend so many days with joesse, and this child¡¯s talent was even better than she had imagined. It was indeed fate. Joes bowed and said seriously,¡±¡±Thank you, grandma Chen. I will.¡± A jewelry designer¡¯s responsibility was to design outstanding works, which also carried their own feelings. Since she had chosen this path, no matter how difficult it was, she would never give up. Moreover, grandma Chen had such high expectations for her. After the trip to Yunqi for the past few days, joesse¡¯s determination had grown. The two of them chatted for a while more. Seeing that it was gettingte and the time for the train ticket that Joes had booked was almost up, they could only leave despite their reluctance. After leaving the house, Jossi turned back to look at her every few steps. ¡°I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll get the chance to meet again in the future ...¡± Joes turned to look at the small building and mumbled to herself. However, a smile appeared on her face before she left Jade Street. The train station was still crowded, and it was even more terrifying than it was during the new year. Upon seeing this, Joes sent Chen Anna a message. Chen Anna should also be back in city h today. The two of them hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, so they could meet up for a chat. After about five to six hours of driving, the train finally arrived at the train station of h city. Joes pushed her luggage out of the train station. The moment she stepped out, she saw a familiar figure. ¡°Anna!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened in shock. It was only two or threeo¡¯ clock in the afternoon, but Chen Anna had arrived earlier than her. Hearing Joes¡¯s voice, Anna Chen searched the crowded train station and finally found her good friend. ¡°Sisi! I¡¯m here!¡± Chapter 91

Chapter 91: You have to be careful too

The two of them waved at each other and finally made their way through the crowd before stopping in front of a small store. There were simply too many people in the train station. It was clearly winter, but even the air seemed a little stuffy. Joes and Anna Chen were both pushing arge suitcase. They wiped the sweat off their foreheads and looked at each other before chuckling. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s take our luggage back first and then we¡¯ll go eat. I¡¯m really curious about what happened to you these past few days. ¡± Chen Anna had an evil smile on her face. After the two of them took their luggage home, they arranged to have dinner at a hot pot restaurant. The store was brightly lit, fragrant, and noisy, but it was very lively. The two of them found a double seat. After ordering some food, Chen Anna even ordered a bottle of beer. She had originally nned to buy two bottles of beer as a beverage, but Jossi refused to drink no matter what, so she only ordered one bottle. The hotpot was slowly heating up. The two of them were enticed by the food that was thrown in. However, before the food was cooked, Chen Anna opened her mouth and started asking Joes about the recent events,¡±¡±Sisi, you went to Yunqi after a few days?¡± Joes nodded, tacitly agreeing with Chen Anna¡¯s question. Previously, during the new year, he would either spend some time at Chen Anna¡¯s ce or spend the new year alone in city H. However, there were some changes this year. ...... The people from the Qiao family had learned their lesson. They should know their ce during this period of time. Firstly, Qiao sisi had gone back to retrieve her bangle. Secondly, that was her goal. Going to Yunqi wasn¡¯t a spontaneous decision. When she finished reading that book, she had long wanted to visit grandma Chen. It just so happened that Jin Yu¡¯spany was on leave, so she had some free time. How could Qiao si have any regrets? ¡°What did you do when you went to Yunqi?¡± Anna Chen poured a ss of beer and took a sip. After saying that, Joes organized her words and said simply,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t do much. I just asked grandma Chen for advice for a while. She¡¯s a top jewelry designer and I really admire her.¡± Jossi¡¯s face was filled with admiration. As long as she thought of grandma Chen, the desire to fight in her heart would deepen. ¡°A top jewelry designer?!¡± Chen Anna was also surprised. Although she was in the fashion design industry, she also knew a thing or two about jewelry design.top designers ... Were not easy to achieve. It seemed that she was indeed a strong woman. After that, the hotpot was almost done, and the two of them ate a little. The food in this restaurant was pretty good, and there were many people who came to eat. Previously, Joes and Anna Chen often came to this restaurant to eat. ¡°Sisi, let me tell you. You should still remember Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend, her name is ... Lin Xiu ¡®er, right?¡± Chen Anna suddenly thought of something and quickly raised her chopsticks. There were some indescribable emotions in his expression, and he didn¡¯t know what had happened. Joes furrowed her brows slightly and asked in confusion,¡±¡±What happened?¡± Anna Chen sighed and stuck her chopsticks into a piece of potato.¡±¡±That woman has been in the limelight recently. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because she has admitted to the public that she is Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend.¡± The entertainment industry could be said to be the most chaotic industry. On the surface, it was morous, but in reality, not many people knew what was going on behind the scenes. Lin Xiu ¡®er could be considered one of them. When she was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s girlfriend, she was even more famous than she was now. However, ever since they broke up, her reputation had plummeted. After all, manypanies had originally wanted to cooperate with Lin Xiu ¡®er because of Zheng Zeyi. Since they had broken up, others couldn¡¯t use her to climb up to any rtionship. Naturally, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s resources became less and less. When the two of them were together, their rtionship was not made public. People in the industry did know about it, but the fans were not. So, after the breakup, it didn¡¯t cause much of a stir. After Lin Xiu ¡®er had been silent for a period of time, she had frequently appeared on major variety shows or TV series, perhaps because she had managed to get close to thepany. Moreover, Lin Xiu ¡®er had recently mentioned Zheng Zeyi in a News interview, which led many paparazzi to find evidence of Lin Xiu¡¯ er and Zheng Zeyi being together. Then ... Lin Xiu ¡®er admitted to this matter and even said that the two had broken up. It was precisely because of this matter that Lin Xiu ¡®er was pushed to the peak of public opinion. Thepany¡¯s public rtions was also done pretty well, and the negativements were controlled very well. All of a sudden, Lin Xiu ¡®er became popr in the entire entertainment industry, and she had a frightening amount of resources. After listening to Chen Anna¡¯s words, a faint ¡®Chuan¡¯ word appeared on Joes¡¯s forehead, and a bad feeling rose in her heart. She didn¡¯t have a good rtionship with Lin Xiu ¡®er, not to mention that they had an argument in the restaurantst time. It seemed like ... Lin Xiu ¡®er indeed didn¡¯t lie. Joesse was not from the entertainment industry and did not have any powerful backing, let alone fans. With Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s personality, the situation would be one-sided if she wiped a few tears and cried to the outside world. Qiao si si had considered everything very thoroughly. She was silent for two seconds. It seemed that she had to be more cautious when facing Lin Xiu ¡®er in the future, in case this woman was unhappy with her and yed some dirty tricks. ¡°Sisi, I knew it ... The people around Zheng Zeyi are not good people.¡± Chen Anna put down her chopsticks and knocked on the table with her fingers. His expression was extremely serious, and his tone was serious. Joes could not help butugh and said,¡±¡±You might be right. However, Zheng Zeyi has helped me a lot. I can¡¯t deny that.¡± Hearing this, Chen Anna squinted her eyes slightly, but she didn¡¯t refute it. She said,¡±¡±Helping is helping, but you have to be careful.¡± Naturally, Joes knew that Chen Anna did not like Zheng Zeyi. Their rtionship with Yang Yue Yue was at an all-time low, and Zheng Zeyi was Yang Yue Yue¡¯s cousin. Without this rtionship, Chen Anna would have supported the two of them with both hands. However, the two of them knew Yang Yue Yue¡¯s personality. She was a sh * t-stirrer. The two of them chatted about Zheng Zeyi for a while, and the hotpot in front of them was almost finished. The more Joanna Chen talked, the more curious Joes became about what had happened to Zheng Zeyi. She wondered what had happened between them to have led to their breakup. After finishing the hotpot, Anna Chen nced at the sky outside and said,¡±¡±Sisi, there¡¯s only one day left. Why don¡¯t youe stay at my house?¡± It had indeed been a long time since the two of them met. Naturally, Joes agreed and returned to her good friend¡¯s apartment together. Chen Anna was a fashion designer. Chapter 92

Chapter 92: You have to perform well

It was simr to joesse¡¯s jewelry design, but there was a fundamental difference between the two. Because of her profession, Chen Anna even had a lot of models in her apartment wearing designed clothes. One of the models was wearing a light yellow dress with a thin tulle at the edge and a sleeveless waist. It was a long dress that showed off her figure. After looking at the long dress, Joes ¡®eyes lit up and she said,¡±¡±Anna, did you design this dress?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s expression was a little proud.¡±¡±Of course,¡± The clothes worn by the models in the apartment were all personally designed and tailored by Chen Anna. Every temte was exquisitely designed. For example, if a person with a good figure were to wear this sleeveless light yellow dress, she would probably look like a fairy. This was the charm of fashion design. It was the same for joesse¡¯s profession. Every profession had its own charm, and this was undeniable. ¡°Well done, Anna.¡± Joes could not help but praise as a faint smile appeared on her face. Her gaze swept back and forth between the models. Chen Anna¡¯s fashion design was indeed excellent, and she could easily make a piece of clothing that followed the fashion trend. Hearing this, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes shed with a little pride and she couldn¡¯t help butugh,¡±¡±Of course, don¡¯t you know who did it?¡± ...... The two of them watched the models for a while before sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Of all the variety shows on the weekend, Mango TV was the most popr one. It was currently ying on the TV. What Qiao sisi didn¡¯t expect was that she would also see Lin Xiu ¡®er in this program. ¡°Sisi, Lin Xiu ¡®er has been on all the variety shows recently. Do you think ... It could be her and Zheng Zeyi?¡± Chen Anna frowned and said. Upon hearing this, Jossi immediately shook her head, indicating that this was impossible. She knew Zheng Zeyi quite well. Since they had broken up, he would not continue to be attached. The main reason was probably the reason why they had broken up. However, joesse was not the person involved in this matter, so she was not clear about this. ¡°You trust Zheng Zeyi so much.¡± Chen Anna pouted and said with a disappointed expression. Joes patted her friend¡¯s shoulder helplessly and exined,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think too much. Even if it is, it has nothing to do with us. ¡± After hearing this, Chen Anna nodded her head,¡±¡±That¡¯s true,¡± On the TV screen, Lin Xiu ¡®er, as the participating guest, was sitting firmly on the high tform with a sweet smile on her face, and her hands were ced on her knees. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was nothing. However, Qiao si si probably did not have a good impression of Lin Xiu ¡®er after the argument in the restaurant and the encounter in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office. Looking at the smile on her face, he also felt that it was a little hypocritical. Joes shook her head slightly and pressed a button on the remote control, changing the channel. ¡­¡­¡­ After staying at Chen Anna¡¯s house for a day, it was time to go to work the next day. Qiao Si was wearing a white shirt and ck wide-legged pants. She carried a briefcase and entered Jin Yu¡¯s office. Perhaps it was because of the new year, but she felt that the atmosphere in Shiyu was much better than before. The employees had alle back to work after the new year and were still in good spirits. After getting into the elevator, Joes scanned the ce and saw that the people in the elevator were all new faces. After returning to her desk, Joes saw that Lin ya was already waiting for her. She smiled and walked over with a cup of soy milk. ¡°Long time no see, here you go.¡± Joesse passed the soy milk to Lin ya and sat down. Lin ya¡¯s face lit up and she took the milk tea.¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re so considerate. I¡¯m a little thirsty.¡± The soybean milk was still a little warm, and it emitted a faint heat in the palm of his hand, which made people¡¯s mood better. Since it was the first day of the new year, there were a lot of unfinished business left. Not long after they arrived at thepany, Joes and Lin ya were immersed in their busy work and couldn¡¯t free themselves. After lunch, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s Secretary came to the office with a thick stack of documents. ¡°Everyone, stop for a moment and listen to me.¡± The Secretary¡¯s words made everyone stop what they were doing and stare at her with curiosity in their eyes. Joes felt the same way and could not help but raise her eyebrows. Could it be that something happened at thepany? She thought to herself that it must not be a small matter for the Secretary to personally inform her. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the Secretary nodded with satisfaction. He waved the document in his hand and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m here today to inform you of something. It¡¯s director Xiang¡¯s intention.¡± When they heard the words ¡°director Xiang,¡±everyone¡¯s expression couldn¡¯t help but change. After a short pause, the Secretary continued,¡±director Xiang and Hengyuan are working together. Hengyuan also has an entertainment and filmpany under their name. This time, they are holding a show. In order to raise the reputation of Jinyu and jewelry design, the president of Hengyuan specifically said that thepany¡¯s designers are to participate in the show.¡± The Secretary exined everything clearly, including the cause and effect. However, his words were like a drop of water in a pot of oil. Suddenly, the entire office was in an uproar. Many people widened their eyes in disbelief. Shiyu was in charge of jewelry design and was also a high-endpany in the industry. Although he usually worked with otherpanies, this was his first time working with Hengyuan investment. And ... He was going to film a variety show? Joes was a little surprised and in disbelief, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved. There were indeed fewer people in this industrypared to other industries. Shiyu alsocked high-end technical talents. Participating in the show, and it was a film and entertainmentpany under Hengyuan¡¯s investment, could certainly increase their poprity and also promote the work of a jewelry designer to the outside world. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone, and this was Shiyu¡¯s main goal. At the thought of Hengyuan¡¯s investment, Chen zuolin¡¯s face and the hitchhike fromst time appeared in her mind. The office was noisy. Many people expressed their doubts about this matter. The Secretary frowned and waved his hand,¡±¡±Silence!¡± The volume was very loud, and at the same time, everyone quieted down. There was no more noise. After a while, the Secretary opened the document in his hand and said,¡±¡±President Xiang has selected three people to participate in this program. They¡¯re all from your side, so they have to perform well.¡± Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Just do your own job well

Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes could not help but light up. This was Shiyu¡¯s chance, and it was also their chance ... ¡°I called his name. Come with me to head Xiang¡¯s office.¡± The Secretary looked up and nced at the name on the document.¡±¡±Qiao sisi, Lin ya, and Wang Li, you threee with me.¡± There were exmations in the office. They did not expect Xiang Jinyu to pick these three people. Qiao sisi was also extremely surprised. She usually kept a low profile in thepany, but Xiang Jinyu still had a deep impression of her. He even asked her to participate in such an important program. Thinking about the show this time, Jossi was a little worried. She studied jewelry design and did not know if she would mess things up when she appeared on the show. He still had to learn more. ¡°Sisi! Did you hear that? the Secretary called my name. ¡± Lin ya, who was beside her, was beyond excited and asked Joes for confirmation. She was rarely valued so much, but her name was indeed on the document. Lin ya was so excited that she couldn¡¯t hide her joy. Joes was genuinely happy for Lin ya and smiled.¡±¡±You didn¡¯t hear wrong, your name is indeed on it.¡± This was good too. With someone he was familiar with on the show, he could ask Lin ya for advice if he had any questions. As for the other Wang Li ... ...... She was the female colleague who had an argument with Wei Yast time, and it seemed that she had a strong background. At that time, he had killed Wei Ya¡¯s design drafts with his bare hands. However, Wei Ya did not even dare to fart in front of Wang Li, let alone fight back. This was the difference between the two of them. Even if you wanted to be arrogant, you had to know your own strength. Xiang Jinyu must have thought about it carefully before choosing the person to participate in the show. Qiao sisi was the champion of the designer Competition, so she had a lot of influence among the bigpanies. In addition to the show¡¯s incident this time, it was likely that his influence would be raised to the next level. Lin ya, on the other hand, had a carefree personality, which was a stark contrast to joesse¡¯s meticulous nature. Coupled with the fact that she had won the third prize in the designer Competition, she might have a miraculous effect. Qiao sisi was not too sure about Wang Li¡¯s situation. Perhaps she was quite capable, which was why Xiang Jinyu had allowed her to participate. ¡°The few names I called out,e out with me.¡± The Secretary said indifferently, but his eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. Finally, his gazended on Joes. After taking a look, she turned around and left the office without staying any longer. Joes was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Lin ya dragged her to the door of the office and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be in a daze, sisi. The Secretary has spoken, let¡¯s go out quickly. ¡± ¡°I know, I know,¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Joes replied helplessly and followed Lin ya out of the office. Wang Li quickly followed behind, her high heels cking loudly. The Secretary saw that the three of them hade out and nodded. She turned around and led the three of them to Xiang Jinyu¡¯s office. ¡°Director Xiang is giving you this opportunity,¡± he said as he walked.¡±You have to grab it. Poprity is very important.top designers are no different.¡± Joes listened from behind and could not help but praise the Secretary¡¯s words in her heart. She was right. Poprity was very important for a jewelry designer. What was a top designer? they were designers who stood at the peak of the jewelry design industry. Almost everyone was familiar with them, and the jewelry they designed was also sky-high in price. Joesse did not expect her jewelry to sell at sky-high prices, but to achieve her goal, fame was also an indispensable part. He just didn¡¯t know what other tricks this so-called program had prepared. ¡°Other than us...There¡¯ll be others participating in this program, right?¡± Wang Li said indifferently. Her expression was a little arrogant, but it was much better than Wei Ya ¡®s. At least she would not vent her anger on innocent people. Upon hearing Wang Li¡¯s words, the Secretary stopped in her tracks and then nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Director Xiang will exin this to you. Just follow his instructions and do as you please on the show.¡± This was also the trust Xiang Jinyu had in the three of them. If they were not careful and made their fans unhappy, things might go the opposite way, and things would be extremely difficult to deal with. ¡°We¡¯re here. ¡± Just as Qiao Si was thinking about this, the Secretary suddenly said something. They stopped in their tracks. Xiang Jinyu¡¯s office was right in front of them. ¡°You guys can go in. We¡¯ll talk to the headquarters about the details.¡± The Secretary had been specially instructed to do other things, so it was not convenient for her to continue staying here. After she finished speaking, she left the corridor and went to another office. Joes and the rest looked at each other and nodded. She took a step forward and knocked on the office door. ¡°Come in,¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s dignified female voice came from behind the door, but it was clear and melodious. Upon hearing this, joesse pushed open the door and entered the office with Lin ya. The office¡¯s floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the warm golden sunlight. Xiang Jinyu was wearing a ck suit. When he saw Qiao sisi and the others enter, he raised his head slightly. ¡°Have a seat, I¡¯ll tell you guys.¡± Xiang Shiyu motioned for everyone to sit down. In the center of the office was a ss table and two leather sofas. The green nts were ced at the side, which was pleasing to the eye. Qiao si si nodded and sat down on the sofa with Lin ya, but her eyes were fixed on Xiang Jinyu. The atmosphere in therge office was tense. Actually, Qiao si si was not that afraid of Xiang Jinyu. She had met him many times because of Zheng Zeyi and knew that he was easy to get along with. However, just because she wasn¡¯t nervous didn¡¯t mean that Lin ya wasn¡¯t nervous. Wang Li was fine as well. Lin ya blinked and clenched her fair hands into fists in front of her. She didn¡¯t dare to act rashly, and she even had a business-like smile on her face. ¡°I¡¯m letting you guys participate in this show because you¡¯ll be thepany¡¯s pirs in the future. You might even be figures who can stand shoulder to shoulder with top designers.¡± Xiang Jinyu said slowly. Her gaze fell on the three of them, especially Joes. A momentter, Xiang Shiyu continued,¡±¡±Just participate as if it¡¯s a variety show and mention thepany naturally. There¡¯s also apany in terms of operation, so don¡¯t worry, just do your own thing. ¡± Joes could not help but heave a sigh of relief. With Xiang Jinyu¡¯s exnation, she felt much more at ease. There was no need to be nervous about the show. After all, she had already said that thepany would handle the operations. Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Have you finished reading?

¡°Do you understand?¡± Joes and the other two nodded at the same time and said,¡±¡±I understand, President Xiang.¡± There were three contracts on Xiang Jinyu¡¯s table. Since Qiao sisi and the others were going to participate in the show, signing the contracts was a must. ¡°This is the contract. Take it back and have a look. If you have any questions, you can ask the Secretary. After you sign it, give it to her.¡± Xiang Jin Yu exined. Since she had already exined it so clearly, Joes and the rest naturally had no more doubts. The few of them went up to take the contract that belonged to them, but just as they were about to leave, Xiang Jinyu called out to them. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Jossi turned around and asked,¡±¡±President Xiang, is there anything else?¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s expression was calm as he said,¡±¡±The entertainmentpany Hengyuan invested in will also have artistes participating in this show. It¡¯s written on the contract. You can take a look for yourselves.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± The three of them said. After saying that, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s face revealed a satisfied smile. He looked at Qiao si with anticipation in his eyes. However, Qiao si had just turned around, so she did not see Xiang Jinyu¡¯s gaze. Otherwise, she would have been even more suspicious. After leaving the office, Lin ya¡¯s emotions were not as tense as before. ...... She hugged the documents in her hands and said excitedly to Joes,¡±¡±Sisi, President Xiang is so domineering. I didn¡¯t even dare to breathe.¡± ¡°You¡¯re out now,¡± Joesughed helplessly.¡±You¡¯re feeling better, right?¡± ¡°Much better,¡± Lin ya nodded heavily, a bright smile blossoming on her face. It was obvious how much she was looking forward to the show. It was unknown if Wang Li had heard their conversation, but she quickened her pace and quickly walked in front of Joes and Si Ling. She was the first to enter the office. Lin ya frowned slightly as she noticed this. Naturally, Joes had also sensed it. However, this was just a small matter and was not worth mentioning. After entering the office, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the two of them. Just now, Wang Li was one step faster and returned to her desk. In addition to the imposing manner she had supported Wei Yast time, almost no colleagues dared to ask her questions. Thus, at this moment, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Joes and Lin ya. Inparison, the two of them were easier to get along with. A female colleague was standing next to the two of them. She blinked and asked curiously,¡±¡±Lin ya, Qiao sisi, what¡¯s up with that show?¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes became even more heated. They all wanted to know the answer. Lin ya smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to exin. She hadn¡¯t even seen the contract herself, so how would she know? On the other hand, Joes thought for a while and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s simr to a variety show. It¡¯s used to increase one¡¯s poprity. ¡± There wasn¡¯t anything special about jewelry design, or at least Xiang Jinyu didn¡¯t mention it. Since that was the case, it meant that he didn ¡®t. Otherwise, he would have emphasized it just now. After hearing Joes¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s curiosity waspletely dispelled. They still knew about Joes. Lying ... That was impossible. He had thought that there was something special about this show, but it turned out to be just an ordinary variety show, so there was nothing to look forward to. However, there were still some colleagues who envied joesse and the other two. This kind of work could increase their poprity and also earn them money. They wanted it too, but President Xiang didn¡¯t like it, so there was no other way. ¡°Sigh ...¡± Many colleagues couldn¡¯t help but sigh. However, they couldn¡¯t do anything else other than sigh. Soon, his colleagues did not mention the show again. They all busied themselves with their work and tried to forget about it. After exining to the female colleague, Joes returned to her desk with Lin ya. The contract was quite thin, only a dozen pages. Looking at therge words on the contract, joesse nodded slightly, at least knowing what to do. ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s take a look at the contract.¡± Lin ya said in a low voice after scanning the surroundings and making sure that no one was looking at her. Upon hearing this, Joes nodded her head. She had the same thoughts. Opening the contract, Joes started reading the first use seriously, memorizing everything. The name of this variety show had already been decided. It would be named after Hengyuan investment and Shiyu, and the name would be the vige of Jade. Although the program¡¯s name was very schrly, the actual content was mainly for entertainment. However, the show had not started yet, so Jossi could only get a rough idea of it from the contract. After flipping to the next page, Joes continued to read. Their participation in this show was the same as the other artistes. Hengyuan investment would pay them. Looking at the amount, Joes could not help but be impressed by Hengyuan¡¯s generous investment. As long as they participated in the show, the three of them could each get a sry of 100000 Yuan, which was not low. And they were only guests for two or three episodes. That¡¯s right, Qiao si si and the other two were invited as special guests, so their pay would definitely be different from the celebrities. Joes smiled and flipped through the pages. When she saw one of the pages, her hand stopped and she stared at the other invited guests ¡®names written on the document. Lin Xiu ¡®er ... When she saw this name, joesse¡¯s eyes darkened, her emotions unclear. She didn¡¯t expect Lin Xiu ¡®er to actually participate in this program. Or was she an artiste from an entertainment and filmpany invested by Hengyuan? ¡°Hiss ...¡± Joesse sucked in a breath of cold air. This was too much of a coincidence. After all, Xiang Jinyu had just told them that the artists under the entertainmentpany would also be participating this time, and Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s name was one of them. Joes furrowed her brows, a bad feeling rising in her heart. She didn¡¯t like Lin Xiu ¡®er to begin with. Her character and personality were both extremely hypocritical. However, she had to participate in this show together this time, and she didn¡¯t know what would happen. Just the thought of it gave Joes a headache. She only wanted to work hard and learn jewelry design. How could there be so many coincidences? ¡°Sisi, have you finished reading? You don¡¯t look too good. ¡± Lin ya noticed that something was wrong with joesse and put the documents aside. Upon hearing that, Joes shook her head and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just looking at the regtions. ¡± ¡°Okay, I see ...¡± Lin ya said with an expression of understanding. No one knew if she believed him or not. Chapter 95

Chapter 95: I didn¡¯t mean it that way

After a while, Lin ya said with a smile,¡±¡±Sisi, there¡¯s a reward of 100000 Yuan for participating in this show. It¡¯s so worth it.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse smiled.¡±¡±It¡¯s not about the pay. It¡¯s about raising your reputation in the public eye and making it easier for everyone to ept you.¡± In this case, the matter regarding the designer Competition could be carried out properly. However, that was just a guess. She was not very good at business, so Zheng ze would probably say something more professional. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I think what you said makes sense, sisi!¡± Lin ya nodded in agreement with joesse. There were about four to five days left before the show¡¯s recording, and Xiang Jinyu would also let them prepare for it during these few days. When the time came, they would go directly to the destination to start filming. However, Lin Xiu ¡®er was one of the guests, so Joes¡¯s enthusiasm was not as high as it was at the beginning. She always felt that this woman would cause trouble. After that, during the recording of the show, Joes finally realized that she was not wrong. ¡­¡­¡­ After work, joesse was preparing to go home. Most of the employees in thepany had dispersed. Just as she was about to turn the corner, she suddenly saw two people. They were both tall and handsome, but their styles were slightly different. They were Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin. ...... Upon seeing this, Joes was stunned for a moment. When she finally regained her senses, she blinked her eyes and was about to escape when someone suddenly called out to her. ¡°Miss Qiao.¡± The voice contained a bit of coldness. It was Chen zuolin. Jossi¡¯s lifted footnded on the ground and she smiled sheepishly. She turned around and greeted the two of them.¡±President Chen, President ... Zheng.¡± It was not appropriate to address Zheng Zeyi by his full name in front of outsiders. After all, it was not very appropriate. Joes sneaked a nce at Zheng Zeyi and the other two¡¯s serious expressions and was puzzled. How strange, why did these twoe to Shiyupany at the same time? Chen zuolin was the organizer of this show. Could Zheng Zeyi be the investor? A series of questions rose in her heart, but Joes could not find an answer for the time being. ¡°President Chen, let¡¯s meet again next time. I¡¯ll take my fianc¨¦e and leave first.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled as he spoke, but his eyes were on joesse. Hearing this, Chen zuolin narrowed his eyes and his expression changed.¡±If President Zheng doesn¡¯t mind, why don¡¯t you bring your fianc¨¦e to Ming ze for a chat?¡± The Ming ze restaurant he was talking about was a high-end restaurant. The average spending was at least ten thousand Yuan per person, which showed its level. Zheng ze looked at her intently. There was no emotion in his deep eyes, but the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. ¡°My fianc¨¦e is in a hurry to go home. Let¡¯s talk about it next time.¡± After saying that, Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes met in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Jossi, who was at the side, wanted to leave immediately. However, it was no longer easy to do so. The ce where the two of them were together was filled with the smell of gunpowder. She thought that she wasn¡¯t the only one who felt this way. If it were someone else, they would probably be trembling in fear. Both of them were business geniuses who had been famous in the business world for a long time. They were in their Golden Age, and the businesses under their names were spread all over the country, even overseas. As they had been in a high position for a long time, Zheng Zeyi and his partner¡¯s auras were really strong. They could feel the dropping air pressure just by standing beside them. Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi looked at each other. His cold face had an inexplicable expression as he nced at Jossi. ¡°In that case, next time then.¡± Chen zuolin didn¡¯t continue to argue. After he finished speaking, he lifted his feet and left Shiyu. His steps were extremely fast, but he stopped for a moment when he passed by Qiao si. Then, he left. Joes turned around and looked at Chen zuolin¡¯s back. She felt that there was something that President Chen was not saying. Perhaps it was just her imagination. At this moment ... ¡°My fianc¨¦e, why do you keep staring at President Chen¡¯s back?¡± Unknowingly, Zheng Zeyi was already standing behind Qiao si. The distance between the two of them was less than ten centimeters, and they would bump into each other if they got any closer. Zheng Zeyi bent down slightly and whispered into Qiao SI¡¯s ear. His hot breath blew on her earlobe, causing an electric current to rush to her heart. A maic voice suddenly rang out from behind her, causing her to sink into it. Qiao si suppressed the throbbing of her body and turned to re at Zheng Zeyi, but her flirtatious eyes were useless. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Joesse furrowed her brows slightly and refused to admit that what she had said was the same as what Zheng Zeyi had said. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes carried a hint of a smile as he teased,¡±¡±What, you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e now? You still can¡¯t forget President Chen?¡± The anger in Joes¡¯s heart was ignited. She let out a sigh of relief and said slowly,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, don¡¯t force your thoughts on me. Besides, we are just pretending to be fianc¨¦e.¡± From the beginning, he had made it very clear, but now, it seemed to have changed the meaning. Zheng Zeyi might have noticed it, and so did Qiao sisi. As Zheng Zeyi had helped her too much during this period of time, she naturally would not say it out loud. When Zheng ze heard what Qiao si said, he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the cold glint that shed in his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re angry because I¡¯m right?¡± He raised his voice slightly at the end, as if he was mocking her. Qiao Si was extremely angry. She took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Zeyi calmly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t mean it that way, and even if I did, I don¡¯t need you to care.¡± ¡°Good, very good.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded. His eyes were filled with anger, and he almostughed out of anger. People who had been in power for a long time could not resist. Qiao si understood this. She nced at Zheng Zeyi and turned to leave. There was nothing to say between them now. Zheng Zeyi did not chase after her and watched her leave, his eyes darkening. Chen zuolin ... Zheng ze mulled over the name. Whoever wanted to touch him would have to have the ability! On the other hand, after Qiao si left Jin Yu¡¯spany, she stood at the door and enjoyed the cool breeze for a while. She finally felt a little more awake. ¡°Phew ...¡± After exhaling, Joes patted her face and swept away her gloomy mood. She smiled again. She didn¡¯t care what Zheng Zeyi was doing, she just had to do her own thing. With the contract in hand, joesse returned to the apartment. She thought that Zheng ze would be a little slower, but he had already arrived and was sitting on the sofa. Joes caught a glimpse of the person on the sofa and her hands froze. She slowly lowered her gaze and gently closed the door. Chapter 96

Chapter 96: I¡¯ll make the arrangementster

There was nomunication between the two of them. She nced at Zheng Zeyi and entered the room, sitting at the corner of the bed. Little did she know that Zheng Zeyi had been staring at her the whole time. He only retracted his gaze after she entered the room. Joes had already looked through the contract in the morning and there were basically no problems with it. The only thing that she was a little dissatisfied with was the guest list. She did not expect that Lin Xiu ¡®er was also one of the guests. However, so what? she would deal with whatever came her way. Joes was not afraid of Lin Xiu ¡®er. She only felt that she would y dirty tricks behind her back. After signing her name on the contract, Joes put it aside and continued to draw the ¡®deep sea¡¯ series of drafts. In the next few days, although the two of them didn¡¯t talk much, the atmosphere wasn¡¯t as awkward as it was at the beginning. It was much better. It happened to be a Sunday, the first day of the show¡¯s filming. Qiao sisi, Lin ya, and Wang Li were the special guests for the first three episodes of the show. This was also the prime time period of the show. It could be seen that the cooperation between Jin Yu and Hengyuan investment was indeed mutually beneficial. In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the morning air was always particrly fresh, making people feel refreshed. Qiao si si had arrived at Jin Yu¡¯s door early in the morning and coincidentally bumped into Lin ya who just arrived. ¡°Sisi, Good Morning.¡± Lin ya waved her hand with a bright smile on her face. Joes stepped forward and said with a smile,¡±¡±You look very happy.¡± Both of them were carrying arge suitcase, which was also what the Secretary told them after signing the contract. This was because they would be staying in Wu city for a week or two. ...... Wu city was a very famous small city. When the weather was cold, a thinyer of white mist filled the air, making it seem as ethereal as a Fairnd. Moreover, the most attractive thing about this small town was its local customs. The people who lived there were always very enthusiastic and simple, which led to many tourists visiting this small town. ¡°We¡¯re just short of Wang Li. We should be able to set off once she¡¯s here.¡± Lin ya looked around, her heart filled with anticipation. After the two of them put their luggage into the trunk of the car, they stood aside and waited. ¡°Wu city ... If nothing unexpected happens ... It should be quite interesting.¡± Looking at the description of this small town on her phone, Joes could not help but feel a little excited. At this moment, she had already thrown Lin Xiu ¡®er to the back of her mind. Lin ya took a look and smiled.¡±¡±I did some research on the inte yesterday. I heard that there are delicious food and beautiful scenery in Wu city. We can go there to rx in our spare time.¡± She was right. Joes had found out about this on her phone. It was precisely because of Wu city¡¯s poprity that the festival team had chosen this ce to film the show. Of course, it was only for the first three episodes. After Joes and the rest were done, the festival team would have to move to another location. The two of them chatted by the car for a while. Wang Li, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived. She was wearing a short skirt that reached her knees, a pair of white, thin silk stockings, a hat, and sunsses. After Joes saw it, the corner of her eyes twitched. ¡®Can¡¯t this person feel the cold weather?¡¯ However, Wang Li did not feel cold, so she naturally did not say anything. After the three of them arrived, the Secretary nodded slightly and let them all get into the car. This time, it was the president¡¯s Secretary who was following them. They would return to city h after the filming of the three episodes. He got into the car. Joesse happened to be sitting by the window. The car started moving slowly and the scenery outside the window also started to move faster and faster. She did not know why, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face. The faint smile on his lips was soul-stirring. Realizing what she was thinking, Joes quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of this unhealthy thought. It was strange ... Why did she keep thinking about Zheng Zeyi recently? Suppressing the thoughts in her mind, Joes blinked her eyes and consoled herself that it was just a coincidence. Lin ya, who was beside him, saw this and asked curiously,¡±¡±Sisi, what¡¯s wrong? Is your head ufortable?¡± Even though she was concerned, joesse was feeling guilty at the moment, so sheughed awkwardly and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine,¡±she said. Since she said so, Lin ya couldn¡¯t say anything more. She nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±If you feel ufortable, remember to tell me. Don¡¯t push yourself.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Joes said with a smile. ¡­¡­¡­ The car drove on the highway.h city wasn¡¯t too far from Wu city, only an hour or two drive. After some time had passed, they arrived at Wu city. The car stopped at a busy street where the people from the Jie mu group were. Joes and the others alighted from the car and saw a crowded ce not far away. Fortunately, not many people in Fog City chased after celebrities, so it did not affect the crowd. Joes followed the Secretary and the others over and saw a group of people. There were also many people with cameras following them. Could it be that the show had already started from now on? Joes made a guess, then scanned her surroundings and more or less understood. It shouldn¡¯t be. They were just filming the local customs and practices that they had seen when they first arrived in Wu city. ¡°Long time no see, director Wu.¡± When the Secretary saw the festival Group, she walked straight to one of the tall, thin men and greeted him with a smile. When director Wu saw his Secretary, he smiled and shook her hand.¡±¡±It¡¯s been a long time indeed. Secretary Chen, how¡¯s President Xiang doing recently?¡± The Secretary nodded and said,¡±¡±President Xiang has been doing well recently. Oh right, director Wu, these are a few designers that ourpany brought over. They¡¯ll be participating in the show too.¡± ¡°I know. I¡¯ll make the arrangementster.¡± Director Wu nced at the three of them and said in a serious tone. When it came to business, they put away their polite expressions. But after that, director Wu smiled and said,¡±¡±Thepany has specially reserved a restaurant to wee everyone.¡± After saying that, director Wu pointed to a signature restaurant in front of them. It looked simple and elegant, and the style was very suitable. Hearing this, the Secretary also smiled. After the group of people exchanged some pleasantries and thanked him, they followed director Wu into the restaurant. There were many fans outside who couldn¡¯t enter. They could only stay outside and take pictures with their mobile phones before leaving. Hengyuan was rich and had booked the entire restaurant. Therefore, there was no one else in the restaurant other than the festival Group and joesse. Director Wu and his Secretary sat at one table, while the artistes who could participate in the show sat at another table. She very keenly saw Lin Xiu ¡®er in the crowd. Chapter 97

Chapter 97: What¡¯s the matter?

However, she didn¡¯t expect Lin Xiu ¡®er to also see her and even reveal a provocative gaze. She didn¡¯t know where her confidence came from. ¡°Heh ...¡± Joesughed helplessly and shifted her gaze, toozy to pay attention to Lin Xiu ¡®er. The food on the two tables had been ordered by director Wu. He raised his ss and said to everyone in the restaurant,¡±¡±I hope everyone can work well together. If there¡¯s anything you want to eat, don¡¯t hold back.¡± Director Wu¡¯s words were met with a wave of cheers. Everyone raised their sses, including joesse. After finishing a ss of wine, the dining room also served the exquisite dishes on the table. Joes picked up a mouthful of food and could not help but exim. As expected of the special food of Fog City. The taste was indeed not bad, and one could not help but take a few more bites. ¡°Sisi, this is delicious.¡± Lin ya said in a low voice as she picked up a piece of white and tender fish meat for joesse. The fish meat exuded a faint fragrance. Joes took a bite and squinted her eyes. The taste exploded in her taste buds. It was indeed not bad! This meal was also an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other. Other than Qiao si si and the other Jin Yu jewelry designers, there were four other guests who were participating in the show. They were all quite famous artistes in the entertainment industry and would definitely work with them in the future. The other three people thought so, but Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t think so. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she needed to maintain her image in front of the public, she would have mocked Joes long ago. She was just amoner, yet she dared to be with Zheng Zeyi. It was really embarrassing. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s mocking gaze was noticed by Qiao si si. She took a sip of the tea on the table, but the corners of her mouth revealed a faint smile. ...... Other than Lin Xiu ¡®er, one of the three artistes was a girl, and the other three were boys. The girl¡¯s name was Bai ran, and she was a skilled actress with a lot of fans. Her film and television works were basically all top-notch, and she was fully deserving of the title of Best Actress. If Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s fans were to bepared to Bai ran¡¯ s, the difference would only be ten times. It was not because Lin Xiu ¡®er had few fans, but because Bai ran had a lot of fans. She entered the entertainment industry because she had a dream of being an actress. The scripts she took on were all well-received and had a good plot. Her acting skills were also excellent. Just this point alone was enough to attract fans, not to mention her beautiful appearance and cute personality. Other than Bai ran, the other three boys were also well-known in the entertainment industry. Two of them were popr young men, Lin Lin and Mo Xu, and the other was a middle-aged uncle with an idiotic character. His name was primordial. A momentter, the first person to speak was uncle primordial. He raised his ss and said with a smile,¡±¡±Hello, everyone. I¡¯m primordial. Nice to meet you.¡± In fact, he was a generation older than Bai ran and the others. Moreover, he was also an influential figure in the entertainment industry. Therefore, it was quite surprising that he was so friendly at this time. In the next second, Joes and Bai ran raised their sses at the same time, followed by the others. ¡°Bai ran, nice to meet you.¡± Bai ran smiled, revealing two cute dimples. She took a sip of the wine in her ss. Joes did as she was told and introduced herself. Everyone took turns to introduce themselves and became more familiar with each other. In order to liven up the atmosphere, Sheng Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on Lin Xiu ¡®er and smiled.¡±¡±Do Xiu-er and sisi know each other? Why else would you keep looking at her?¡± Even the way they addressed each other was much more intimate, unconsciously pulling the rtionship between them closer. It was indeed her own hard work that allowed her to be a famous person in the entertainment industry. With this attitude of hers, it was likely that everyone who saw her would have a good impression of her. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s heart tightened when she heard primordial¡¯s words, and her eyes flickered. She did not expect that she would be discovered just by looking at Joes asionally. This person was too nosy! Cursing inwardly, Lin Xiu ¡®er did not dare to say this kind of words on the surface. Otherwise, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine. ¡°Sisi and I ... We can be considered acquaintances.¡± A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s face as she spoke gently. She was still very good at acting in this aspect. After hearing that, Joes almostughed out coldly. When did she get to know Lin Xiu ¡®er? This was really hard to exin. If she didn¡¯t say anything about the incident at the restaurant, did Lin Xiu ¡®er really think that she, Jossi, would not retaliate? ¡°You know him?¡± A look of surprise appeared on primordial¡¯s face as she looked back and forth between the two. Bai ran was also very sharp and could sense that the atmosphere was a little off. She quickly said,¡±¡±Alright, uncle. Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Eat more. You won¡¯t have the chance to do so tomorrow when we start filming.¡± Seeing that Bai ran had given her a way out, primordial also took the opportunity to step down and did not continue to mention the matter between Joes and Lin Xiu ¡®er. The dinner went on as usual. After they changed the topic, it didn¡¯t seem so awkward anymore. After a long time, many people were tipsy. Lin ya was the same. She patted her head and said,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯m going outside to get some fresh air. I¡¯lle inter.¡± She had only drunk a little too much, but she was not drunk. Joesse was clear about this. However, he still asked worriedly,¡±¡±Can you? Do you want me to bring you out?¡± Lin ya shook her head,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll go out by myself and call my family to let them know that I¡¯m safe. ¡± With that, she got up and walked out. Everyone was so drunk that they didn¡¯t notice Lin ya¡¯s departure. Seeing that Lin ya¡¯s footsteps were still steady, joesse did not chase after her. It should not be a problem. Remembering Lin ya¡¯s words about reporting her safety, joesse suddenly realized that she had forgotten something. She picked up her phone and saw a lot of unread messages. They were all from Chen Anna. Zheng Zeyi ... Joes nced at the message list but did not see any messages. She heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, she didn¡¯t know whether she was feeling disappointed or something else. After replying to Chen Anna¡¯s messages, Joes put away her phone and poured a cup of tea to sober her up. She didn¡¯t drink much, but she didn¡¯t want to drink at this time. It was better to be careful when she was out. At this time, Lin Xiu ¡®er walked over with a cup of wine. ¡°Jossi ...¡± Upon hearing this, Qiao si raised her eyes slightly and saw Lin Xiu ¡®er, who had exquisite makeup on, holding a tall ss with red liquid inside. She squinted her eyes slightly, but she did not back down. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er chuckled and raised the wine cup in her hand, her eyes shing with a strange light. ¡°What could it be? I just wanted to have a drink with you.¡± Joesughed. Since she was wearing this fake face, she would just y along. ¡°Alright.¡± Joes also picked up her ss, but it was not filled with wine, but light-colored tea. Chapter 98

Chapter 98: You¡¯ve done well

If Qiao sisi had left her seat during this period, she might have suspected that Lin Xiu ¡®er hade over to propose a toast with improper intentions. However, she never left the table during this time, and it was impossible for anyone to touch her wine ss. This was certain. Lin Xiu ¡®er took a look at Qiao sisi¡¯s tea andughed,¡±¡±Since I¡¯m here to make a toast, it¡¯s boring to drink tea. Do you want me to pour you a cup?¡± With that said, he made a gesture of pouring a ss of red wine for Joes. Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes were a little cold. When she saw the White color in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s sleeve, she finally knew what she wanted to do. He was actually using such an old trick now? Laughing coldly, Joes shook her head and said,¡±¡±No, I can¡¯t drink because of my weak stomach. I hope you don¡¯t mind using tea as wine, miss Lin.¡± His voice was a little loud, so the other people at the table also heard him. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s hand that was holding the ss cup suddenly tightened, but she was supposed to be kind and cute to the outside world, so she couldn¡¯t break down at this moment. Suppressing her anger, Lin Xiu ¡®er could only put on a pretentious smile and say,¡±¡±If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll rece the wine with tea. Of course, I don¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The teacup and wine ss collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Qiao si si took a sip of tea, but she saw Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s tightly clenched hands by her side, and the way she looked at her was also a little off. ...... Primordial also saw this scene and said with a smile,¡±¡±Hahaha, it seems like sisi and Xiu ¡®er are quite close.¡± The moment that was said, many people¡¯s gazes fell on Joes and Nangong wuque. However, no one answered. If they were more sensitive, they would have noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right. As for Xiangsheng, he had been in the entertainment industry for many years, so how could he not have a good eye? as for why he said that, it would depend on what he thought. Joes saw it clearly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. ¡°It¡¯s alright. ¡± Joes smiled and said to everyone with a slight smile in her tone. There was nothing wrong with her attitude. She then ced the teacups on the table. Lin Xiu ¡®er also revealed an awkward smile. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know whether she should leave or stay. Fortunately, this was just a small interlude, and everyone¡¯s attention was quickly diverted away from the two of them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xiu ¡®er returned to her seat and red at joesse. Her eyes were filled with hatred. She directed all her anger onto Jossi. Other people might not know the reason why Lin Xiu ¡®er broke up with Zheng Zeyi, but she knew it very well. However, it was impossible for Lin Xiu ¡®er to mention such an embarrassing thing to outsiders. Naturally, Zheng Zeyi would not take the initiative to tell others. Now, if Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted to get Zheng Zeyi back, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. However, Lin Xiu ¡®er had ced all the impossible me on Jossi. It was because of this woman¡¯s existence that Zheng Zeyi would not ept her! Thinking up to here, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes became even more resentful, just like a venomous snake hiding in the dark. Joes slightly furrowed her brows. She sensed Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s gaze, and her heart also became more guarded. If he didn¡¯t pay attention, he would probably get into a lot of trouble during the next few days of the show! ¡­¡­¡­ Two hourster, the dinner was over. Although there were many empty bottles on the table, none of them were drunk. After all, they had to pay attention to their image outside. Besides, the show had just started, and the official shooting would only start tomorrow. Everyone got into the car and returned to the hotel. By this time, Lin ya had almost sobered up from the alcohol she had drunk. The festival Group was very generous. They had booked a five-star hotel, which was also a hotel developed after Wu city became a tourist area. It was very expensive. A momentter, the car stopped in front of the hotel, and everyone got out of the car. Lin ya nced at the hotel and whispered to Jossi,¡±¡±Sisi, the festival Group is even more generous than thepanyst time. Look at this hotel.¡± The contrast between the two was obvious. Of course ... This wasn¡¯t Shiyu¡¯s problem. Qiao si si understood. Jin Yu was also a big enterprise, but it was just that he was on a business tripst time, not to mention that it was only a leading enterprise in the jewelry industry. Every jewelry designer was trying their best to get into Shiyu, so they were definitely not weak. However, Hengyuan Investment Corporation under Chen zuolin¡¯s name was on apletely different level. It was arge enterprise in the business industry that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Zheng Corporation. Therefore, it was not surprising that they had booked the entire hotel. Besides, it might even be Hengyuan¡¯s own business. After all, they did not know who the owner behind it was. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go in.¡± Joes winked at Lin ya, and the two entered the hotel, hand in hand. The rooms had been allocated as well. Qiao sisi, Lin ya, and Wang Li shared one room, while the Secretary had her own room. No one had any objections to this. As for the artistes in the entertainment industry, the girls would share a room and the boys would share a room. This was for the sake of the program. After filming for the show, they still needed to film some of the People¡¯s interactions in the hotel to attract the public¡¯s attention. Joes and the other two entered the room that had been arranged for them. The room was extremely spacious, and daily necessities were well prepared. There was even a small refrigerator near the LCD TV. The environment could be said to be very good. Joes and Lin ya closed the door and ced their luggage by their bed. At this time, Wang Li, who had been sitting on the bed for a long time, suddenly asked,¡±¡±Are you the people ... Who Wei Ya stole and taught her a lesson?¡± Upon hearing that, Qiao Si was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Li in surprise. She had forgotten that this person seemed to be present when Yun Qi went on a business tripst time, but he did not have much presence at that time. She didn¡¯t expect Wang Li¡¯s background to be so deep that Wei Ya couldn¡¯t beat her at all. Before Joes could say anything, Lin ya said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. Wei Ya asked for it. Why?¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Li snorted coldly. The way she looked at the two of them had softened a lot. It was much better than the arrogance she had at the beginning. ¡°Wei Ya should have been taught a lesson long ago. You guys did a good job.¡± Wang Li¡¯s tone was arrogant, but there was a hint of praise in it. After she finished speaking, she directly brought her toiletries into the bathroom, leaving behind her tall and slender back. Her words not only made Jossi feel baffled, but she also smiled helplessly. After Lin ya heard Wang Li¡¯s words, she was even more confused. She patted her head and frowned as she thought. Wang Li¡¯s tone and words just now were too strange. Those who didn¡¯t know would probably think that they were Wang Li¡¯s younger sisters. Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Jin Yu jewelry designer

Sisi, what did she mean by that?¡± Lin ya pouted and said with a little dissatisfaction. Joesse then smiled and said helplessly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t mind it so much. If she wants to say it, then just say it. ¡± Anyway, Wang Li did not do anything. She was just saying a few words, so there was no way Qiao si could stop her. They all hated Wei Ya, and that was what they had inmon. Joesse thought ... If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Li should get along well with them. It would be too tiring for them to scheme against each other in the same room. Lin ya nodded slightly in agreement,¡±¡±Alright then, I understand.¡± After that, the three of them got along quite well. After washing up, the ones chatting were usually Joes and Lin ya, and Wang Li would only interrupt once or twice. His words were not too sharp, but Jossi had a good impression of him. As long as she did not cause any trouble, she would feel fine. Moreover, Wang Li was much less troublesome than Wei Ya. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the room. It was transparent and clear, allowing one to clearly see the intoxicating night scene outside. It was already nineo¡¯ clock in the evening, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see that the entire city was covered in a thinyer of white fog. This scene was extremely beautiful, and Joes could not help but curl her lips into a smile. Because the hotel was on a high ground and they were staying on a high floor, they could see the whole of Wu city from here. ...... ¡°Sisi, What are you looking at?¡± Lin ya¡¯s voice came from behind her. Seeing this, Jossi brought her over. Inparison, Lin ya¡¯s reaction was much more exaggerated. After a cry of surprise, she quickly took out her phone and took a photo of the night view of Wu city. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s really beautiful. I told you that Wu city is a beautiful ce.¡± Lin ya praised. Joes also smiled and replied,¡±¡±Yes, Wu city ... It¡¯s very beautiful,¡± The two of them sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, pointing at the night view as they talked andughed. Wang Li, who was sitting on the bed and ying with her mobile phone, suddenly stopped. She was a little curious, but she was a little embarrassed to stand up and look at them, so she could only look at the two of them from the corner of her eye. ¡°Wang Li, do you want toe and take a look? The night view of Wu city is very beautiful. ¡± Just then, Lin ya seemed to have remembered something and turned to ask. Anyway, Wang Li had no enmity with them, so there was no need to hate her. After hearing Lin ya¡¯s words, Wang Li was finally satisfied. She raised her head proudly and said,¡±¡±Since that¡¯s the case ... Then let me take a look,¡± After saying that, she lifted the nket and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The corner of Lin ya¡¯s eyes twitched, and she looked away. She couldn¡¯t help butin in her heart,¡¯he¡¯s really suffering because he wants to save face.¡¯ Even Joes thought so. Wang Li saw the night view through the window. A hint of surprise shed in her eyes, but she did not take out her phone to take a picture. The atmosphere between the three of them had also changed at this moment. ¡­¡­¡­ Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a night had passed. Today was also the first day of filming for the festival Group. As guests, Joes and the other two naturally had to follow the festival team to the filming location. The Jie mu group had chosen a field in Wu city, where the residents of the small city would usually nt some seedlings. It was eighto¡¯ clock in the morning. The sun was scorching hot today. Joes raised her hand to block the sun, blocking the ring sunlight. The good thing was that the weather was still cold as usual. Although the sun was ring, it provided a lot of warmth. ¡°Everyone, we¡¯ll now officially begin filming. Wee to the misty City of Mist!¡± The director began. The cameras and other filming props were already in ce, and the only thing missing was the guests. At the same time, joesse and the rest had also started to enter the crowd¡¯s line of sight. Everyone was dressed fashionably and looked pretty, instantly attracting attention. There would also be a live broadcast during the filming of the program. At this moment, the viewers on the inte saw Jossi and the other two enter the camera and expressed their doubts. [Love of the big city: who are these three beautiful sisters?] He had never seen it on any show before. The immortal cultivator thought,¡±it should be a neer. The festival Group is actually challenging a neer?¡± Sister Xiu-er,[i protest! Where is my goddess Xiu-er?] Why haven¡¯t I seen him yet? y basketball: ¡°don¡¯t be so noisy upstairs. He¡¯s not out yet. He¡¯s waiting for goddess Bai ran.¡± There were a lot ofments on the inte, flooding the live broadcast screen in an instant. It could be seen that the show had done a lot of publicity. Joes and the rest quickly attracted attention and started introducing themselves to the screen. ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Qiao sisi, the designer of Jin Yu jewelry.¡± Joes said humbly and courteously. After that, Lin ya and Wang Li also introduced themselves in their own styles. There were manyizens who were curious about them on the inte, and some of them even went to search for Jin Yupany. Because Qiao si si had won the jewelry designpetition, they could also be found on the inte. Zhu Zhu: ¡°jewelry designer ... This joesse seems to be pretty good. One of her works won the designer Competition.¡± Lucky Cat: ¡°you have some background, but I still want to see my idols.¡± Theizens started a heated discussion, and after a while, the artistes entered the venue. Almost as soon as they entered the venue, they caused a riot on the bullet screen. Thements appeared extremely quickly, and even joesse, who was standing not far away, could see them. Seeing this, she could not help but sigh. The influence was indeed great. What Lin Xiu ¡®er saidst time wasn¡¯t unreasonable. If there was no evidence to nder her, she wouldn¡¯t be able to clear her name in front of the vast number ofizens even if she had a mouth. He hoped that Lin Xiu ¡®er would be more tactful today and not do anything sneaky. The artistes did the same as joesse and the other two and introduced themselves. However, they were professionals and the atmosphere was livened up in an instant. The bulletments were sent even faster. When these fans saw their male and female idols, they were instantly a little excited. ¡°Today, you¡¯vee to Wu city. The festival Group will not provide any food other than amodation. You only have 100 dors in cash to use.¡± After director Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling for the staff to go forward and take away the artistes, Qiao si, and the other two¡¯s personal belongings. This included phones, wallets, and so on. In addition, everyone was given 100 yuan in cash. In the current era, what could one hundred Yuan do? It might be enough to pay for two or three days ¡®worth of food, but he didn¡¯t know what kind of problems the festival Group woulde up with next. Joes and the other two handed in their personal belongings, and so did all the artistes. After all, it was the festival group¡¯s request, so he couldn¡¯t refuse. Chapter 100 - You really think I don’t know anything

Chapter 100: You really think I don¡¯t know anything

Besides, Bai ran and the others had participated in many variety shows and reality shows. They should have seen many such requests. The vige of Hengyu¡¯s Festival Group was definitely not the first. This was just for convenience. Lin ya saw that the camera wasn¡¯t facing her, so she said softly,¡±¡±Sisi, what do you think the festival Group is up to?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Joes shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not know. As for the details of the show, the contract only briefly summarized them. It was impossible to mention them all. Moreover, there was no script, and it waspletely for Joes and the others to do whatever they wanted. They were special guests to begin with, and could leave after three episodes. The most important ones were still the celebrities who were the special guests of the festival Group. Of course, director Wu was not a fool. He would still take care of the few people that Hengyuan investment named. After the 100 yuan was given to them, the program officially started. Director Wu nced at the sky and said,¡±next, everyone will draw a number. Those with the same number will form a team and work together.¡± After saying that, the staff brought over a numbered box. However, it was covered by a ck cloth, so he couldn¡¯t see what was inside. At this moment, primordial¡¯s character started to take effect. She red at him.¡±Random group? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea for you guys to do this. Director, how about I be in the same team as you?¡± The ridiculous words made theizensugh, and they all sent ¡°hahahaha¡± bulletments. ...... There were even some whoined that primordial and the director were a couple, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited. After all, it was an entertainment program, and the audience was still the most important. What shecked was a character like primordial, who often appeared in major variety shows and had a good rtionship with the audience. She basically had no anti-fans. ¡°No way!¡± Director Wu immediately rejected the idea. Primordial felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She clutched her heart and retreated step by step. ¡°You¡¯ve really broken my heart. ¡± If this scene was edited after the show was released, it would probably be a very interesting scene. On the other side, Bai ran was also looking at the sky with a sorrowful expression.¡±¡±The festival Group is too much. They didn¡¯t even give me 200 yuan.¡± As the movie queen and a veteran in the entertainment industry, these two were the most open at the scene. Joesseughed. The othersughed out loud. Even the young man with the camera equipment could not help butugh. Bai ran was such a beautiful goddess, and now that she was doing such a cute action, she was still very likable. In short, they had basically integrated into it, including Lin Xiu ¡®er. No matter what, they had been in the entertainment industry for so long, so they still had a little influence. After a while, the director issued a mission card. The field was filled with vegetables that had already been nted and could be harvested. As for Joes and the rest, their task was to split into two groups and start harvesting the vegetables. Each person would have a basket on their back and they would be given points once they were filled. If it wasn¡¯t filled, or if they couldn¡¯t return to the ce where the scores were calcted, no score would be given. The most important thing was ... If the number of items obtained in this task was not enough, then the 100 yuan would have to be taken back. The corner of Joes¡¯s eyes twitched. If he was going to take away even a hundred dors, he was probably really going to rely on himself. The program was currently using a live broadcast. In a few days, the first episode would be edited and broadcast. In addition, there were so manyizens on the inte, all of them with sharp eyes. If any clues were discovered, they would probably be condemned. There was basically no possibility of cheating, so everyone had to do their best toplete the task. Thinking of this, Qiao si si could not help but facepalm. Fortunately, she was here to promote Jin Yupany and the jewelry design industry. It would be over in a few days. Perhaps he would be able to get some inspiration in Wu city. The crowd quickly went on stage to draw lots. Lin ya drew the number 2 and was in the same group as mo Xu. She looked at Qiao si pitifully and said,¡±¡±Sisi, we¡¯re actually not in the same group.¡± Mo Xu stood beside Lin ya like a gentleman. The two of them had just formed a team and introduced themselves. Lin ya was a little shy in the face of this popr young man, but she responded politely, so that theizens who posted the bulletments didn¡¯t pay special attention to her. Meanwhile, Wang Li was in the same group as Lin Lin, and the other group was Bai ran and uncle primordial. For thest remaining group, joesse felt that there was no need to draw any lots. She nced at Lin Xiu ¡®er and saw that she was also staring at her. That¡¯s good. Under my eyes, he probably doesn¡¯t have any other thoughts of stirring up trouble. Qiao si si picked up the number te and took a look. She walked to Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s side and said with a smile,¡±¡±We¡¯re in the same group. ¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er smiled stiffly. She clenched the number te in her hand and said,¡±¡±Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect the two of us to be in the same group.¡± She lowered her head guiltily. Fortunately, there were not many cameras focused on her side, and most of them were on Bai ran and primordial¡¯s team. Wu Ming: ¡°am I wrong? the atmosphere between these two seems strange. They¡¯re a little distant.¡± San Bai didn¡¯t make a fuss.¡±It¡¯s normal since you¡¯ve just participated in a program. Thementer above is probably thinking too much.¡± There were twoments that noticed the abnormality between Qiao si si and Lin Xiu ¡®er. Unfortunately, Qiao si could not see what the people in thements section were saying. After the groups were divided, the event officially began. The festival Group distributed a few sets of uniforms, and everyone went to change into them. Joes and Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s coats were purple. In the fitting room, there was no one else but the two of them. Joesse had only taken off her coat, her expression calm and collected as if nothing had happened. ¡°Jossi, I¡¯m warning you. Don¡¯t try to y any tricks.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er said fiercely. Her true colors had already been exposed at the restaurantst time, so there was no need to hide it anymore. Of course, that was only in front of Jossi. If it were other people, Lin Xiu ¡®er would still have to wear that fake mask to avoid being criticized by theizens. The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she said slowly,¡±¡±Miss Lin, I didn¡¯t do anything from the beginning to the end. You, on the other hand, really think that I don¡¯t know anything?¡± ¡°You!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er furrowed her brows, and she was rather angry. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and snorted coldly. She was still in the production team, so she could not go overboard. When she had the chance, she would definitely teach that shameless woman, Joes, a lesson! She actually dared to seduce ze Yi, this was shameless! Qiao si si didn¡¯t know what Lin Xiu ¡®er was thinking about, but she could roughly guess what she was thinking from Lin Xiu¡¯ er¡¯s expression. Chapter 101 - What should I do with these?

Chapter 101: What should I do with these?

If this woman did not have any thoughts, Jossi would take herst name! ¡°Miss Lin, I should be the one giving you advice. You¡¯re in the Jie Ji group now, so you¡¯d better think twice before you do anything.¡± Joes said each and every word with a heavy tone and a sharp look in her eyes. Lin Xiu ¡®er was startled by the look and only reacted after a long time. ¡°It¡¯s ... None of your business,¡±she said, her eyes wide open. After saying that, the two of them did not exchange any more words. They changed into the clothes and left the fitting room. Under the many cameras, Jossi and Lin Sanjiu both restrained themselves a little. The group of people came to the field. The basket backpack and other things had already been ced, and the props had also been prepared. The vegetables in the field were fresh and full of vitality. Looking at them, Joes could not help but reveal a smile. A gentle breeze blew past. Due to the cold weather, it brought a cold feeling, but it made people feel refreshed. Director Wu took a look at the venue, and when everyone was present, he held up a loudspeaker and said,¡±¡±Thepetition will start now. The basic goal of each group is to get two baskets. If you fail, we will take back the starting capital.¡± The so-called starting capital was the 100 yuan that the staff had just given each of them. After the director finished speaking, one of the staff members blew the whistle and thepetition officially began. When Joes first came out, she had estimated that the vegetables on this field were only enough for five or six baskets. If they were unlucky, three groups might not be able to reach the target. ...... Looking at the empty space behind her, Joes clenched her fists. Under the judge¡¯smand, everyone flew out like an arrow. Everyone changed into rain boots to prevent their shoes from getting dirty when they stepped on the mud. Director Wu waved his hand, signaling for the camera to turn to Jossi and the rest. Joes immediately ran to the nearest plot ofnd. However, she was not the only one who had her eyes on this piece ofnd. Wang Li¡¯s team was also interested in it. Seeing this, she decisively changed her position and ran forward a little. Fortunately, the vegetables on this plot ofnd were a little far from the starting point, so no one was interested in them. Joesse was bold and decisive. She did not care that her clothes were dirtied by the mud and directly knelt on the ground, putting the vegetables into the basket one by one. There were two people in each group, and each person had a basket backpack. This rule meant that each person had to fill a basket to meet the requirements. Lin Xiu ¡®er was slower. Her rain boots sank slightly into the soil as she stepped on it. It took her a long time to reach joesse¡¯s side. A strange look shed in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes as she watched jos¨¦ busily picking vegetables. With her back to the camera, she nced around. No one else was in the mood to pay attention to her. Director Wu¡¯s focus was almost entirely on Bai ran and primordial¡¯s team. Other than the cameraman behind them, none of the other cameras were facing them. A good opportunity! Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes were dark and gloomy, and she red at the photographer behind her. This photographer was Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s sole photographer. He saw his own artiste¡¯s eyes and immediately understood the meaning. He lifted the camera and turned it in another direction. A sinister smile appeared on Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s face. She took a few steps forward and staggered. Just as she was about to fall beside joesse, a change suddenly urred in the next second! A fair hand supported Lin Xiu ¡®er, and Joes had already reacted. She stood up and supported Lin Xiu ¡®er, who had almost fallen down just now. Her clear voice sounded above her head,¡±¡±Be careful next time. The road here is slippery after all.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she was already standing firmly by the field. At this time, the camera was already pointing at the two of them. Their actions also attracted the attention of manyizens. One pir thought,[this newbie looks friendly!] Misty rain Jiangnan: ¡°she helped my goddess!¡± Otherwise, the goddess would have fallen. [The east wind is still here, what kind of taste does thementer above have? she has no acting skills. She¡¯s just a pretty face. How can she be called a goddess?] Yanzi,¡±upstairs!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ In an instant, thements about the two¡¯s actions flooded thement area. Seeing this scene, director Wu seemed to see the rise of a new group. He gestured to the few cameramen, and the position of the few cameras shifted to Jossi¡¯s side. Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth in hatred. She had clearlye here silently, but why was she still discovered by Jossi in the end? This woman ... Should die! Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was extremely resentful, wanted to make another move, but at this time, the cameras had already been moved to this side, so there was no chance to make a move at all. If she had made a move, the camera would have recorded her movements clearly. In this way, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s public image would be destroyed. Although many of her current fans were paid Inte Water Army, at least she was still a very influential artiste to the outside world. Lin Xiu ¡®er suppressed the anger in her heart and forced a smile.¡±¡±Sisi, thank you.¡± Upon hearing this, Qiao si si raised her eyes and nced at Lin Xiu ¡®er. She shook her head slightly. ¡°It¡¯s fine, you¡¯re wee. ¡± The two of them exchanged nces. They both knew what the other was thinking, but they could only restrain themselves in public. Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth and also squatted down to pick the vegetables on the ground and put them into the basket on her back. She didn¡¯t want to end up inst ce. Everyone moved very quickly and finished collecting the vegetables on their fields in almost a few minutes. Joes¡¯s basket was only one vegetable short of being filled. Just as she was about to take it, Lin Xiu ¡®er quickly took the vegetables away and put them into her basket. Upon seeing this, Joes furrowed her brows but did not say anything. She stood up and scanned the other areas to see if she had missed anything. If he didn¡¯t find an opportunity to fill it up now, he was afraid that there would be a fightter. Fortunately, there was still a vegetable in front of her. Joes ¡®eyes lit up and she quickly took a few steps forward to put the vegetable into the basket on her back. At this point, the basket was full. Joes was carrying her basket and was about fifty meters away from the starting point where the scores were calcted. ¡°Sisi, what should I do with these?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er quickly stood up and said when she saw that Joes was ready to go back. She had not filled it up yet, so how could joesse go back first? Joes¡¯s eyes turned sharp. She naturally knew what Lin Xiu ¡®er was thinking and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll take it back to calcte your score first, then I¡¯lle back to help you. ¡± ¡°But ...¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the director¡¯s rules didn¡¯t say you can¡¯t help. ¡± Joesse¡¯s voice gained the upper hand. She no longer paid attention to Lin Xiu ¡®er and jogged all the way to the starting point. Her movements were the fastest. The other groups were still picking vegetables at the moment and didn¡¯t have the mood to intercept her, so she reached the starting point safely. Chapter 102 - All of this can be discussed

Chapter 102: All of this can be discussed

¡°Phew ...¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. The staff member took the basket backpack and wrote on the mission Board that the purple team hadpleted a basket backpack mission. As long as Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s side alsopleted it, they could be the first group toplete the mission in thispetition. After Joes saw that the score had been recorded, she turned around and ran back to the field. Without the burden of carrying the basket, even walking was easier than before. When they returned to Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s ce, joesse saw that her basket was stillcking almost half of the vegetables, and she sighed in her heart. After Joes returned, many of the other groups had alsopleted a basket backpack. They had already gone to the starting point to look for the staff to calcte their scores. She roughly looked around, and Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s basket was the least. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. Lin Xiu ¡®er red at her and concealed the resentment in her heart. The two of them went to another ce. However, most of the vegetables had been plucked, and there was not much left. It wasn¡¯t good for Joes to take the lead and snatch someone else ¡®s. She stood on the spot and thought for a moment, but before she coulde up with a solution, Lin Xiu¡¯ er walked toward Lin ya¡¯s group. While Lin ya was focused on picking vegetables and wasn¡¯t paying attention, Lin Xiu ¡®er directly took two or three vegetables from her basket and put them into her own basket. ...... By the time Lin ya realized what was going on, it was already a foregone conclusion. Lin ya was a little angry, but she couldn¡¯t re up. It was just a game, and this Lin Xiu ¡®er still wanted to snatch it from her. Was there a need to? As if she had guessed what Lin ya was thinking, Lin Xiu ¡®er slightly lowered her head and said,¡±¡±That ... Sisi said it¡¯s okay.¡± Sisi? Lin ya was even more surprised, and joesse noticed her actions as well. She silently sighed,¡¯this woman really has bad intentions.¡¯ He already knew that she didn¡¯t have any good intentions, and now it was all exposed. Lin Xiu ¡®er, you¡¯re saying that sisi asked you toe and take the vegetables in my basket?¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened. She didn¡¯t believe Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s words at all. After all, Lin ya and Qiao sisi had been colleagues for so long, so she would not listen to such a vile person¡¯s attempt to drive a wedge between them. But after Lin Xiu ¡®er heard it, she immediately nodded and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s her. ¡± From afar, Jossi took a few steps closer and smiled faintly. She said softly,¡±¡±Lin Xiu ¡®er, I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± At this moment, the camera had already moved to this side. When Lin Xiu ¡®er saw that Lin ya and Qiao si were standing on the same side, she gritted her teeth and pretended that nothing had happened. However, how could Lin ya be willing to ept this? most of the vegetables she had picked had been taken away by Lin Xiu ¡®er, and the remaining wasn¡¯t even enough to fill a basket. Mo Xu had also gone to other ces. There were only the three of them in this area. When Lin Xiu ¡®er saw the camera, a smile appeared on her face. She took out a few vegetables from her basket and put them into Lin ya¡¯s basket. Seeing this, Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but be a little confused, not understanding what she was up to. Under the gazes of the two people, Lin Xiu ¡®er opened her mouth and said,¡±¡±Little ya, this is for you. It¡¯s just enough. Go and register.¡± She had a sweet smile on her face, which she concealed very well and didn¡¯t reveal a single w. When Qiao si si heard this, she was so angry that she almostughed. When it came to shamelessness, Lin Xiu ¡®er was indeed better. What a good n. He had obviously taken the vegetables from Lin ya, but now he was pretending to give them to Lin ya. If the audience who didn¡¯t know what was going on saw it, they would probably think that Lin Xiu ¡®er was generous and had given vegetables. After Lin ya regained her senses, she was so angry that she almost blurted out, but she swallowed her words back into her stomach with a look from Joes. Qiao si si motioned for Lin ya to stop talking for the time being. It was only the first episode of the program, and it wouldn¡¯t be good to make a scene. It was just a few vegetables, and she would make Lin Xiu ¡®er return them sooner orter! ¡°Ha ...¡± Lin ya¡¯s mouth twitched and sheughed awkwardly. If Jossi had not stopped her, she would not have suffered such vexation. However, she was not wrong. Lin Xiu ¡®er was an artiste under Hengyuan¡¯s entertainment and filmpany, so she had connections with other directors and artistes. It wouldn¡¯t be bad if they caused a scene, but it would definitely have a negative impact on the show. By then, Shiyu¡¯spany¡¯s original purpose would be for naught. However, Joes and Lin ya would remember this. At this moment, many bulletments expressed that Lin Xiu ¡®er was kind-hearted and would even give the chance of victory to others. There were countless such words, and Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s character was set up in an instant. After this interlude, Lin Xiu ¡®er looked at Joes arrogantly. Her eyes seemed to be saying that Joes was still too inexperienced to fight with her. Joes looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er coldly, her eyes carrying some hidden anger. Thepetitionsted until the end, and Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t fill a basket full of vegetables, bing thest ce. In addition to them, Bai ran¡¯s and primordial¡¯s team also did the same. Their baskets were not full. Qiao si si did not know if Lin Xiu ¡®er was here to cause trouble for her on purpose. However, she knew that Bai ran¡¯s group was doing this on purpose. At the moment, their group was the most eye-catching, and they were also the show¡¯sedians. If he won, it would not attract so much attention, and it would be better if he lost. The festival team¡¯s staff came over to collect the cash from joesse and the others. At this moment, they were really penniless and had nothing on them. Joes was slightly helpless, not knowing what the festival Group was going to do next. Very quickly, the director gave an answer. ¡°Next, please head to the food market in Wu city and buy the ingredients needed for dinner.¡± Director Wu¡¯s voice fell into her ears and Joes was stunned for a moment. She could not help but feel a little puzzled. The other people who had not been robbed of their cash were still fine, but he did not know what the director team was going to do with the two penniless groups. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Primordial stepped forward to receive the mission card from director Wu. Then, the group set off for the wet market in Wu city. Joes and Lin Xiu ¡®er were in the same group, so they walked together. Lin Xiu ¡®er had a proud smile on her face as she raised her brows and said,¡±¡±Jossi, do you think you can win against me?¡± The cameraman was further away, so as long as they spoke softly, they wouldn¡¯t be heard. Joesughed and said,¡±¡±Lin Xiu ¡®er, I¡¯ve seen too many of these insignificant tricks of yours. I advise you to focus on filming the show. Don¡¯t wait for a bacsh.¡± ¡°Qiao sisi, if you give up on Zheng Zeyi, everything can be discussed.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er squinted her eyes slightly, and mes of jealousy flickered in her eyes. If not for the fact that Qiao sisi was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, she would not even bother to look at amoner like him, let alone think about taking revenge. Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103-be on guard

In addition to the humiliation that Qiao si si had given her and yang Yueyue at the restaurant, Lin Xiu ¡®er and yang Yueyue had long been secretly plotting a n. At that time, Joes ¡®reputation would be ruined! Although joesse didn¡¯t know what Lin Xiu ¡®er was thinking, she frowned slightly when she saw her expression. Lin Xiu ¡®er would ruin things. She could see that this woman wouldn¡¯t give up so easily. As expected, she was a rotten peach that Zheng ze had attracted with one move. At the thought of Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi held her forehead slightly. She really hoped that Zheng Zeyi woulde over and get rid of this rotten peach blossom. In order to not let Lin Xiu ¡®er have an easy time, Joes whispered in her ear,¡±¡±I know the reason why you broke up with him.¡± Actually, not knowing anything was just in order to use this to deter Lin Xiu ¡®er. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s body obviously stiffened, and even her expression was slightly stunned. Her heart started to beat faster and her face turned red. She quickly looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to her, and then she heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s resentful gazended on Joes, and she gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Jossi, are you looking for death?¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t,¡± Joes said with a smile. It seemed like there was a huge secret behind their breakup, but she did not know how explosive it was. ...... After a moment, Joes said,¡±¡±If you let me know that you¡¯re up to no good, I don¡¯t mind exposing this to the media. You won¡¯t get anything out of it.¡± Towards the end, her tone carried quite an oppressive aura. Lin Xiu ¡®er was instantly shorter in terms of height and aura in front of Qiao sisi. After a long time, Lin Xiu ¡®er was so angry that her body trembled a little, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything at all. If that matter were to be revealed, her acting career would be over! Zheng Zeyi did not say that it was because of their past rtionship, but what about Qiao si si ... The more she thought about it, the colder Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s heart became. The way she looked at Joes was as if she was looking at a demon. ¡°Joesse, don¡¯t forget that I have Hengyuan investment behind me!¡± She said through gritted teeth. Joes nced at her and said,¡±¡±I know, but so what?¡± Hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s breath was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down. She simply wanted to suffocate herself to death. Yang Yue Yue was right, Qiao si si was a disaster. Slightly lowering her head, Lin Xiu ¡®er concealed the emotions in her eyes and didn¡¯t continue to provoke him. ¡­¡­¡­ After about seven or eight minutes, they arrived at the market. Since they were all in groups, Qiao si si and Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t walk very fast. They were thest to arrive at the market. The market was bustling with people. It was morning, so there were many uncles and aunties who came out to sell vegetables. They were all picking out the vegetables that looked good from some small stalls. The sounds were slightly noisy, but it was extremely lively. Director Wu sent a staff member over with a mission card in his hand and handed it to Jossi. Jossi looked at the mission card with a puzzled expression. The mission card stated the requirements of her team. Because they didn¡¯t have cash, the director¡¯s request was that no matter what they did, as long as they could get the materials for tonight¡¯s cooking, it would be enough. Joes kept the bank card, turned around and said,¡±¡±You see it?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiu ¡®er clenched her hands. While the cameraman was at the side, she smiled and said,¡±¡±What should we do now that we¡¯ve seen sisi?¡± They pretended that Jossi was the backbone of their team and let her do everything. Joes was not a fool, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s split up. The market is so big. The efficiency of two people is too slow.¡± After saying that, before Lin Xiu ¡®er could say anything, Jossi lifted her feet and left, walking towards the seafood area of the market. Lin ya and Mo Xu happened to be there as well. Their cash hadn¡¯t been confiscated yet, so she was going to take a look. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s hands, which were by her side, secretly clenched into fists as she muttered,¡±¡±Why isn¡¯t sisi following me?¡± It sounded like she was talking to herself, but the cameraman was very close, so her words were heard by the vast number ofizens. Manyizens expressed their heartache, but there were also a few reasonable people who did not express their opinions. After Jossi went to the seafood section, she waved at Lin ya,¡±¡±Little ya, I¡¯m here.¡± Hearing this familiar voice, Lin ya immediately showed a happy expression. When she turned around and saw the person, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re finally here.¡± She strode over to Lin ya¡¯s side and found that she was picking out prawns from a bag. Because it was the seafood area, there were a lot of water stains on the ground. Fortunately, the soles of Joes ¡®shoes were higher, so the water would not seep into the inside of the shoes. ¡°What are you going to make for dinner?¡± Joes nced at the seafood on the table and asked curiously. Lin ya furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment.¡±¡±Mo Xu and I are preparing to make a dish of Drunken Shrimp and then stir-fry some vegetables.¡± Since dinner was only enough for a small group, Lin ya didn¡¯t want to buy too many ingredients to save money. Who knew what the director team would do tomorrow? it was better to save the remaining money for now. Joes fell into deep thought, then nodded,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll go take a look at the other ces.¡± Lin ya agreed, and joesse walked towards the vegetable section. At the same time, she was thinking about what ingredients she should prepare and how to obtain them. Since he didn¡¯t have the money to buy it ... Just as she was deep in thought, Joes raised her head and looked over. She saw Bai ran and primordial not too far away. They were also a group without cash. They were performing their talents to win the favor of the vegetable stall aunty so that they could get free vegetables. Because she was an artiste, this method was normal and no one would say anything. However, Joes could not use this method. She came to a vegetable stall, and the stall owner was a young woman in her twenties. Joes was slightly surprised. She had thought that most of the stall owners would be old men and women. She did not expect her luck to be so good that she met someone of simr age. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. Joes stood in front of the stall and asked politely. She also had a cameraman following her, so she still had to pay attention to her image when she was outside. She had to pay even more attention when she was with Lin Xiu ¡®er. He didn¡¯t know what that woman would do, so he had to be careful. When the stall owner saw that it was Jossi and the cameraman beside her, he immediately understood. He nodded and smiled,¡±¡±Hello, what do you need to buy?¡± As for the camera, the stall owner only took a nce at it before looking away. He did not show much curiosity. Chapter 104

Chapter 104: These are the details, alright?

This Festival Group wasn¡¯t the first one toe to Wu city to film a show, and they had seen many stall owners. After two seconds of silence, Joes asked,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know ... What do you need help with?¡± She really couldn¡¯t think of any way to get free ingredients, so she could only choose the simplest way. The stall owner was stunned for a moment before he revealed a smile and shook his head slightly.¡±I don¡¯t need any help here. It¡¯s just a small stall, I can take care of it myself.¡± Upon hearing this, a light bulb went off in joesse¡¯s head. If he were to make use of the convenience of his profession ... But what kind of convenience could a jewelry designer take advantage of? Joes¡¯s brows furrowed for a long time before they rxed. She looked at the stall owner and saw an earring on his ear. It looked like a verymon material that was worth at most a hundred Yuan. There were many types of jewelry like this on the market. There were always people who couldn¡¯t afford high-end jewelry. The market demand for such women was also very high, so some people started the low-end jewelry business. After two seconds of silence, Joes suddenly broke into a smile. ¡°Miss, this earring of yours ... Can you lend it to me for a while?¡± she asked the stall owner with a smile. The stall owner was stunned for a moment, but he did not refuse. He nodded and took off the earring. ...... The other ear was still there. After all, she only said that one ear was to be removed. The stall owner did not suspect that joesse would take the earrings away. After all, there was a cameraman filming at the side. She was a public figure, after all, so she would not do such a thing. Joes took the earring and carefully examined the patterns and craftsmanship on it. It was indeed a little too rough. If it could be modified, it would be better to change the surrounding patterns. With this thought in mind, Joes raised her eyes and asked,¡±¡±Miss, do you mind if I modify your earring? It¡¯s not a big change, just a little bit of fixing will do. ¡± The stall owner was a little hesitant, but in the end, he gritted his teeth.¡±¡±Alright, you can change it.¡± It was something that cost a few hundred dors. Even though he did not know what Joes was trying to do, he would definitely have to pay if it was damaged. There was no rtionship between them, so he couldn¡¯t avoid it. Director Wu noticed the situation on Qiao SI¡¯s end and said to the cameraman beside her,¡±¡±Get closer, take a clearer picture.¡± He could also tell that Joes was going to show some of her skills. The bulletments that were watching joesse¡¯s side also exploded as they were all curious about what she was up to. Because Joes had introduced herself as a jewelry designer from the start, everyone was very interested in the jewelry that she could make. However.....This was not manufacturing, it was just modifying. Joes observed the earring and smiled.¡±¡±Miss, do you have a knife that I can use?¡± All her belongings had been taken away by the festival Group, and she didn¡¯t have any tools, so she could only ask the stall owner for help. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The stall owner nodded and handed a clean knife to joesse. ¡°Thank you!¡± Joes said with a smile. She lowered her head and began to carve the patterns. With the knife in her hand, she was like a fish in water, her movements smooth and natural. The cameraman couldn¡¯t help but move closer. Other than allowing the camera to take a clearer picture, he could also see more clearly. Joes was immersed in the joy of the transformation, throwing everything to the back of her mind. She held the handle of the knife and carefully carved some fine patterns on the edge of the earring. There was a gemstone in the center of the earring, but it was of the worst quality and only worth a few hundred dors. If such a gem was not ground properly, the earring would be useless and be a worthless waste. Joes¡¯s expression was extremely serious as she stared at the earrings, carving patterns under the dim light of the market. The pattern was rtively simple, and it took her about four to five minutes toplete the step. After some modifications, the edges were done. Joes was slightly satisfied. To be able to carve quickly and properly, this was already considered pretty good. It was just that the materials were a littlecking. If the materials were of a higher grade, she would probably be able to do better. After carving the patterns, Joes turned the knife in her hand. Next, she did not use the tip of the knife but the body of the knife. Grinding a gemstone was the most difficult step, but at the same time, if it was done well, it would be the most valuable step. After all, gemstones were the core of this type of jewelry. Joes heaved a sigh of relief and carefully polished the gemstone with the de. He was not qualified to use a knife either, but he did not have the corresponding materials at the moment, and the gem was not polished at all. Joes was not trying to Polish it again, she was just trying to remove the ws on the original foundation. Now that he had a target, his movements became a little easier. After a few minutes, she finished modifying the earring with amon knife. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she did not bring her tools with her, Joes would not have acted so rashly. It was a pity that this was the only thing she could do in the current situation. ¡°Miss, here you go. Take a look.¡± Joes handed the earring to the stall owner for him to take a closer look. Before handing it over to the stall owner, the camera had also clearly captured it when it waspleted. The bullet screen exploded in an instant, because there was indeed a huge difference between the earrings before and after Joes¡¯s modification. From a distance, it didn¡¯t seem to have changed much, but upon closer inspection, one could see its exquisiteness. It was many times better than the previous mass production. This was the power of handiwork. Xiaoxiao: ¡°that¡¯s amazing! I want an earring like that too!¡± [Decadence of time: has there been a big change?] Why can¡¯t I see it? it¡¯s just okay. The wolfdog Husky: ¡°if you don¡¯t understand, don¡¯t say anything. These are details, okay? we¡¯re all outsiders.¡± Qing Tian: ¡°I also think that she¡¯s doing a good job. I¡¯m a fan now. She¡¯s a strong jewelry designer!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ As the bullet screen shed by, Joes¡¯s poprity increased by quite a bit in an instant. A topic had also quietly appeared in the software. However, Joes did not know any of this. The director only gave a word of praise. After that, he instructed the cameraman to focus on filming Joes and then turned his attention to Bai ran. Apart from the sudden increase in the number of fans on joesse¡¯s side, the most popr ones were Bai ran and primordial¡¯s side. Thements flooded the screen, filled withughter and a series ofints. The two of them didn¡¯t have any burden of being idols, but they were the most eye-catching existences in this show. Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Give me a piece of tofu

Although Bai ran was the best Actress, she had a very likable personality, which was also the reason why she had so many fans. Joesse had no idea about what had happened on the inte. She had just returned the earring to the stall owner. The stall owner took the earrings and looked at them. A hint of surprise shed in her eyes. She could tell that the grade would change the next time. It was originally very rough, but now that some ws had been removed, it looked much more exquisite. This was a fundamental difference. The stall owner¡¯s face revealed an expression of joy. She took off the other earring and put on the one that Joes had modified. This was also what joesse wanted. She realized that if the stall owner only brought one, there might be a different kind of beauty. As expected, after putting it on, the stall owner looked at himself in the mirror and his mood became much better. She pointed at the vegetables in front of her and said,¡±¡±Thank you. You can pick whatever you want. It¡¯s free of charge.¡± He had finally achieved his goal! Joes heaved a sigh of relief as well, the huge burden in her heart finally lifted. At first, he was worried that he didn¡¯t have enough money to buy the ingredients. Fortunately ... He had a cooking skill, so at least he wouldn¡¯t starve to death. The stall owner had a wide variety of vegetables, and most of them looked tender and especially fresh. ...... Joessepletely ignored Lin Xiu ¡®er as she thought about the ingredients she would use for the meal she was going to make tonight. Then, she had an idea. She picked tworge tomatoes and a tender vegetable and handed them to the stall owner. Just these few things were not bad. They were nutritious and healthy. ¡°You ... Only bought these two items?¡± The stall owner took the tomatoes and vegetables in surprise. Was he going to miss out on a free opportunity? Joes had made the earrings look really nice, and the stall owner wanted to repay her. In the end, he was so reserved, which made her feel a little embarrassed. ¡°These two items are enough,¡± Joes said with a smile.¡±Please help me wrap them up. Thank you!¡± The stall owner didn¡¯t force her. He nodded and put the things in the bag, then put two eggs in it. ¡°This is for you.¡± Joes blinked her eyes, not expecting the stall owner to be so polite. She thanked him and took the bag. She pondered that this bag of things should be enough for dinner at night. Of course, it was only for her alone. It might not be enough with Lin Xiu ¡®er. However ... Joes had no obligation to care about her. With the bag in her hand, Joes strolled around the market once more. Her original intention was to look for other stalls, but in the end, she decided to buy a sausage, which could also bring some meat. The stall owner was a brawny man in a white apron. He looked a little fierce. After taking a look, the corner of joesse¡¯s eyes twitched. She suddenly felt that this operation would not go smoothly. She took a step forward and asked with a smile,¡±¡±Hello, stall owner. How much is a sausage?¡± Upon hearing this, the man nced at joesse and said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±I don¡¯t need money. You can choose which one you want.¡± What? Joes thought that she had misheard and a look of shock shed across her eyes. She could not help but ask again,¡±¡±You¡¯re asking me to pick whatever I want?¡± The man nodded his head in a serious manner.¡±Yes, pick whatever you want.¡± He didn¡¯t look like he was lying, and it was even more difficult to react. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. She was curious about the reason and asked,¡±¡±Why?¡± It couldn¡¯t be that the stall owner saw that there was a cameraman next to her, so he kindly gave her a free sausage. The facts proved that this was indeed impossible. The man put down the knife in his hand and pointed at the stall owner who had been selling vegetables.¡±¡±That¡¯s my wife. ¡± The moment she finished speaking, Joes fell silent. She turned her head to look at where the stall owner was, and as expected, she saw the stall owner smile at her. At this point, the matter was clear. This man had only given his wife a sausage for free because he had seen Joes help his wife modify her earrings. There were no other reasons. ¡°But I¡¯ve already taken the vegetables.¡± Joes was in a difficult position. She had already received her reward. After saying that, the man did not waste any more time. He immediately picked a sausage and ced it in the bag, then stuffed it into Jessi¡¯s hands. ¡°Take it.¡± After the man finished speaking, other customers who wanted to buy sausages came to the stall and they began to receive them. On the other hand, joesse, who was holding the bag of sausages, was stunned for a long time. After a while, her beautiful eyes curved into a bright moon as she smiled and said,¡±¡±Thank you!¡± Seeing that the man had started to get busy, Joes did not disturb him any further. She took a few bags and bowls and was ready to leave the market. In the meantime, he even muttered to the camera,¡±¡±There are still more good people in the world.¡± The vast number ofizens had basically heard this sentence, and the bullet screen flowed like water, one after another, and it was extremely hot. Most of them were saying that good people would be rewarded. If Joes had not helped the stall owner of the vegetable stall in the beginning, she would not have received the sausage as a reward. Joes carried the bag and left the market. The moment she stepped out, a staff member handed her a mission card. Seeing this, she picked up the mission card and looked at it. The next step was to go to the designated ce by the festival Group to cook and score ording to the taste. All in all, this should be the content of this episode. However, joesse could not leave yet. She had to wait for everyone in the market toe out. She left the bag with the festival Group and decided to go in empty-handed. He didn¡¯t know what ingredients Lin ya had bought, and how things were with Lin Xiu ¡®er. With this thought in mind, Joes stepped into the market again and walked around with the crowd. As expected, she found Lin Xiu ¡®er at a stall selling tofu. Lin Xiu ¡®er was performing a talent song, but unfortunately, her voice wasn¡¯t very moving, and it was just average. The reason why it was so popr was because someone had packaged it. Furthermore, because it was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend, it had be a topic of discussion on the inte. It had been stirred up step by step, and it had be the peak of public opinion, leading to its current high reputation. ¡°Auntie, can you give me a piece of tofu?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er pretended to be gentle and said to the Auntie. The Auntie looked at the cameraman standing at the side and couldn¡¯t refuse. She picked the smallest piece of tofu, put it in a bag, and handed it to Lin Xiu ¡®er. Lin Xiu ¡®er concealed the smugness in her eyes and received the tofu. Indeed, she was still slightly better. Joss...Ha, she was just a person who could not be shown in public. How could she be as famous as her? Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Prepare to set off now

Joes si, who was at the side, was paying attention to Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s micro-expressions. When she saw her gaze, she knew what she was thinking. She frowned slightly, turned around, and left. It would be fine if the so-called grouping was only for today¡¯s episode, but if she were to form teams with Lin Xiu ¡®er in the future, Qiao sisi really could not bear it. This woman was always up to no good. Yesterday, he even wanted to add some special items to her wine. Even though she did not know what it was used for, joesse was certain that there was nothing good in it. Lin Xiu ¡®er had only gotten the tofu so far. As for Lin ya, she had already bought the ingredients and was about to leave the market. After living for so many years, this was the first time she had haggled with the aunties and uncles in the market for so long for a few Yuan. She had also truly experienced the strength of the aunties. After leaving the market, Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but massage her back, which was a little sore. When she saw Joes, her eyes were filled with surprise and joy as she said,¡±¡±Sisi, why are you here? have you bought the ingredients?¡± Hearing that, joesse nodded her head slightly and lifted the bag in her hands.¡±¡±I¡¯ve bought everything. It¡¯s not a lot. ¡± Lin ya looked at the things inside and praised,¡±¡±Tomatoes, eggs, vegetables, and sausages. They¡¯re even more abundant than what mo Xu and I had. How did you do it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not telling you,¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. While the two of them were chatting, the other groups in the market came out one after another. Almost all of them were carryingrge bags of things in their hands, preparing for the dinner that night. Lin Xiu ¡®er could be said to have the least. ...... After everyone came out, they went to the next location ording to the festival group¡¯s request and officially started cooking. Joes¡¯s movements were very fast. In addition to the fact that she had often cooked such things at home, the taste was also very good. In just half an hour, a few dishes were ready at the same time. As for Lin Xiu ¡®er, she didn¡¯t even enter the kitchen. When the cameraman wasn¡¯t paying attention, she ced her hand on Joes¡¯s te and Joes pressed her wrist down. ¡°I¡¯m Telling You for the Last Time, don¡¯t move. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee what will happen.¡± Joes¡¯s expression was very calm, but her voice contained a hint of coldness and might, causing one to be stunned. Lin Xiu ¡®er saw that the situation wasn¡¯t right and was about to take her hand back, but she couldn¡¯t take it off at all. She gritted her teeth tightly, and her face was distorted. ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone take a picture of you like this and post it online. ¡± Joesughed coldly and let go of him. Upon hearing this, although Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s hatred was still soaring, she restrained herself a little. After all, they were filming a show now. Don¡¯t let her find a chance, she must take revenge on Joes! After ring at Joes fiercely, Lin Xiu ¡®er turned around and went to the other side to fiddle with her own things. When Qiao si si saw this, she couldn¡¯t be bothered with it. She still had onest dish that wasn¡¯t out of the oven, so she didn¡¯t need to care about Lin Xiu ¡®er and was happy to be idle. After another ten minutes or so, Joss¡¯s dish was done. After the judges tasted it, they gave it a pretty good score. As for Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s pile of dark cuisine, the final result was naturally a failure. As it was calcted ording to the team¡¯s score, ording to the team¡¯s ranking, Joes¡¯s team was ranked third. Bai ran¡¯s team was first, followed by Lin ya¡¯s team. Wang Li and Lin Lin were at the end of the line. As one was from a big family and the other was a popr celebrity, they had almost never cooked by themselves. Both of them made dark cuisine, so it was good enough to get a little score. And today¡¯s program was considered to havee to an end. Joes rubbed her neck and got into the Jie Ji group¡¯s car with Lin ya and the others, heading back to the hotel. ¡­¡­¡­ A few dayster. In fact, the shooting was almost the same as today ¡®s. The only difference was that the content of the project had changed and it had be more interesting. Joes was quick-witted and likable, gaining many fans on the inte. As for Lin Xiu ¡®er, after knowing that Qiao sisi had so many fans, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. She had tried to frame Qiao sisi several times, but she had not seeded and was almost defeated. Today was thest day of filming for the show. Director Wu instructed the staff to distribute the task cards one by one. There was no so-called grouping today. It was purely one person in a group, and the goal was very simple. Everyone would have a relevant topic. They would go to Wu city to find relevant people, understand the materials of this topic, learn, and so on. It sounded like a very boring episode, but manyizens were still looking forward to this episode. They wanted to see how far joesse and the others could go. Joes opened her mission card and saw the word ¡®jewelry¡¯ on it. When the director told her about the mission, she had more or less guessed the purpose. The mission that she, Lin ya, and Wang Li were assigned must be rted to jewelry. In fact, there were also people in this field in Fog City, such as the production process and so on. It was just that joesse and the others didn¡¯t know about it yet. Moreover, the three of them hade back to film the show to promote Jin Yupany and the industry. There was finally a focus. Director Wu saw that most of the people had almost finished reading the contents of his mission card, so he held up the loudspeaker and said,¡±¡±Everyone should have finished reading, so get ready to set off.¡± Everyone had a different purpose, and there would be a separate cameraman following them, so there was no need to worry about this. After the director told them to set off, the few of them split up and went to find characters rted to their theme. On the other side, Lin ya moved closer to Jossi and showed her the information on her mission card. It was not about jewelry but design. Although it didn¡¯t sound like there was any difference, the difference was quite big. As a result, Joes and Lin ya could not move together as they had different goals. ¡°Sisi, what¡¯s your theme? I don¡¯t think we¡¯re the same type. ¡± Lin ya looked at her mission card carefully and guessed. Hearing that, Joes nodded slightly.¡±¡±I think so too. Let¡¯s split up. After all, we have different goals.¡± ¡°Okay, if I find your target first, or you find my target first, we¡¯ll contact each other by phone.¡± Lin ya raised her brows slightly, her eyes containing a deep smile, and made a phone call. After joesse agreed, she parted ways with Lin ya and went off to find her own targets. Although Wu city was a small town, it was still veryrge if one walked on foot. At least, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to find his target. Chapter 107

Chapter 107: May I open the door?

Joes looked around. As it was early in the morning, there were many people who had set up their stalls to sell breakfast. After the first episode of the show ended, their wallets were returned because although theter episodes were simr, they were not the same. Looking at the delicious-smelling buns, joesse blinked and took out five dors from her wallet. ¡°Auntie, give me a meat bun.¡± Joes smiled sweetly and handed the money over. The auntie¡¯s attitude was also very good. When she saw her hand over five dors, she was about to give her change, but Joes waved her hand, not intending to take it. So the Auntie packed a bottle of breakfast milk into a bag. The people of Wu city were very simple and honest, and there was no such thing as taking advantage of others. Now that she was standing here, Joes felt that she was truly experiencing this. After thanking him, Joes started eating the bun in her mouth while walking on the streets in search of her target. The shops on both sides of the street were mostly clothing stores, restaurants, and so on. There were very few shops that were rted to jewelry. After going through the entire Street, Joes still could not find any. At this moment, she saw a few aunties gathered in front of her, chatting and munching on melon seeds. The most well-informed person should be the aunties. Joes pondered for two seconds, then walked up and greeted the aunties,¡±¡±Hello, aunties.¡± ...... Upon hearing this, all the aunties turned their heads in unison and fixed their gazes on Jossi. One of the aunties asked in confusion,¡±¡±Little girl, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this, Auntie. I want to ask if there¡¯s any jewelry shop in Fog City?¡± Joes asked curiously. After hearing the question, the few aunties thought for a moment. After a few seconds, a middle-aged woman nodded her head slightly and pretended to be deep in thought.¡±Yes, I remember there¡¯s one at the end of the alley. You can go and take a look.¡± Looking in the direction that thedy was pointing, joesse saw an alley. There were not many people going in and out, but it was still bright. Joes revealed a sweet smile and said politely,¡±¡±Thank you, aunties. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, little girl. ¡± The aunties said one after another as they watched joesse leave. Then, they started to talk about the jewelry store. ¡°Is that old man the owner of that shop?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? that old man has a strange temper. I wonder if the little girl will be driven out if she goes there.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so ... There¡¯s a cameraman next to the girl. He¡¯s probably here to film a show.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Joes did not hear the chattering behind her and walked straight into the alley. Because of what had happenedst time, she was still a little traumatized by this kind of small alley. However, the good thing about this was that it would make Joes more cautious, and she would always prepare items for self-defense when she went out. There were some residents in the alley, who were also eating melon seeds and chatting at the door, instantly adding a bit of fireworks. After walking to the end of the alley, Joes looked around and finally found a shop that looked like a jewelry store. The name of the shop was ¡°treasure house of the Qin n.¡± It should have been a big ce in the past, but it was unknown why it had fallen to this ce. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± Joes hesitated for a moment, but still stood at the door and knocked. It was broad daylight, yet the door of the Qin¡¯s treasure house was tightly shut. One did not know why they did note out to do business. After knocking on the door twice, Joes stood at the door and waited for a while. However, no one came out to open the door. ¡°Is there no one ...¡± Joes mumbled, but she could not rule out that possibility. She raised her hand and knocked again. Now that it had nothing to do with the program, she was indeed a little curious about the Qin family¡¯s treasure bank. After a long time, still no one answered the door. It was as if there was no one in the Qin treasure store. Joes furrowed her brows slightly, not knowing what to do. The two aunties who were munching on melon seeds next to her saw her actions. One of the chubby aunties couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Youngdy, are you here to look for old man Qin?¡± Old man Qin? When Qiao si si heard this name, she was filled with doubt. However, it should be the owner of the Qin family¡¯s treasure store, and they had the same goal as her. He nodded and said,¡±¡±Aunties, is there no one in the Qin¡¯s treasure store? I¡¯ve been knocking on the door for a long time, but no one answered. ¡± Another short middle-aged woman quickly said,¡±¡±It has nothing to do with you. It¡¯s old man Qin¡¯s temper that is strange.¡± The two aunties were only willing to exin the reason to Joes after she revealed a puzzled expression. It was also because of this that Qiao si si was even more interested in the owner of the Qin family¡¯s treasure house. ording to the two aunties ¡®description, the Qin family¡¯s treasure house used to be a ce where people came and went. Whether it was selling or custom made jewelry, the people of Wu city would alle here. However, in recent years, old man Qin¡¯s temper had be weirder and weirder. He did not know why he did not open the treasure Shop. He stayed behind closed doors all day, and asionally, he could hear the sound of jewelry being polished next door. There were also many rumors in the city, but they were not spread too far. At most, it was just that old man Qin had a strange temper and so on. Joes nodded her head in understanding and asked,¡±¡±Auntie, has Grandpa Qin been here all these years?¡± ¡°This ...¡± The aunty also frowned, and said after a long time,¡±¡±I really don¡¯t know about this, but I remember that old man Qin went out a few decades ago, and Baoxing entrusted it to my disciple. He went out for a while and then came back. From then on, he started to manage the Qin¡¯s treasure store. After a dozen years, his temper became weirder and weirder. ¡± The incident should have happened when he was out. Joes understood and the corners of her lips curled up.¡±¡±I understand. Thank you, aunties.¡± ¡°Little girl, you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± The middle-aged woman touched a handful of melon seeds andughed. However, even after Qiao si had heard so much, she still did not choose to leave. Instead, she returned to the Qin family¡¯s Treasure Shop. She wanted to try again. If it really didn¡¯t work, she would leave. After all, since this Grandpa Qin had already done this, it meant that he didn¡¯t want others to disturb him. She didn¡¯t want to disturb his peace. Not even the festival Group. Joes heaved a sigh of relief and knocked on the door,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, may I open the door?¡± There wasplete silence inside the door. No one answered, and no one came to answer. At this moment, the matter was very obvious. Joes¡¯s expression was slightly disappointed, but what could she do if he did not want to be disturbed? she tidied up her emotions. Chapter 108

Chapter 108: You¡¯re the first to arrive here

Just as Joes was about to turn around and leave, the door opened with a creak. Joes stopped in her tracks and looked at the crack curiously. ¡°Come in,¡± A hoarse voice came from inside the door. If he was not mistaken, it should be that Grandpa Qin. Joes blinked her eyes and pushed the door open softly. Just as the cameraman was about to follow her in, she stopped him. ¡°This ...¡± The cameraman was in a difficult position. After all, they were filming a show. How could he not bring him in? ¡°I¡¯ll talk to him first,¡± Jossi said seriously.¡±If it¡¯s possible, you cane in, okay?¡± Although the cameraman was still a little worried, there was no other way. He could only film the contents through the half-open door. Joes pushed the door open and slowly walked in. The lights in the Qin¡¯s treasure store were bright. Although the door was closed, it was not quite what she had imagined. There were many jewelry cabs around, but most of them were empty and had not been reced for a long time. He saw a white-haired old man lying on an old chair with his eyes closed. Grandpa Qin was the only person in the huge Qin treasure house. ...... As she had heard the words of the two aunties, Joes was not surprised. Instead, she was unusually calm. A momentter, joesse stood beside Grandpa Qin and politely greeted him,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, how are you?¡± Upon hearing this, Grandpa Qin¡¯s expression froze for a moment before he slowly opened his turbid eyes. His eyes seemed to be in a daze. At this moment, he was staring at the ceiling of the Qin¡¯s treasure house, seemingly thinking of something. Joes did not interrupt him and stood at the side, waiting for Grandpa Qin to speak. After a long time, this Grandpa Qin finally spoke,¡±¡±Youngdy, you ... What business do you have here?¡± Joesse pursed her lips and her expression turned firm. Apart from the festival Group, she also wanted to learn from Grandpa Qin. He was definitely a good teacher. However, joesse would not force him. It was naturally a good thing if he was willing to teach her. However, if he was not willing, she would leave on her own. ¡°Grandpa Qin, it¡¯s like this. I want to learn some polishing and cutting skills from you.¡± Joes said carefully. The scene fell into a moment of silence. It was as if Grandpa Qin did not hear her and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Qiao si in surprise. How did she know that I know all this? Qiao si si had her own way and came to this conclusion after observing the Qin family¡¯s treasure house. This Grandpa Qin must be an expert in jewelry. He designed and made it himself, so he should also have a special method. ¡°No,¡± After a while, two words appeared. Joes¡¯s expression was rather helpless, but she had already guessed this oue, so she nodded her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Grandpa Qin,¡±she said.¡± Can I take this opportunity to visit the Qin family¡¯s store?¡± It won¡¯t waste too much time. ¡± Grandpa Qin stared at Qiao sisi¡¯s face for a few seconds, then waved his hand.¡±¡±You see.¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Qin!¡± Joes was overjoyed. This was a rare opportunity. After all, she was here for the festival Group. It would be insincere if she asked for advice. Hence, Grandpa Qin¡¯s rejection was within Qiao sisi¡¯s expectations. She was prepared toe again when the show was over. It was best to learn something. If it really didn¡¯t work out ... She would chat with Grandpa Qin about jewelry. This trip was not in vain. Joes started looking at the row of jewelry cabs at the door, all the way to the side of the counter. She couldn¡¯t help but be a little shocked. Although most of the seats were empty and the jewelry had been sold, she was still a little worried. However, the ones that were left behind were not to be underestimated. Jossi carefully observed them through the ss of the cab. It was a top-notch production technique, and it was unknown if it was polished by machines or by humans. She thought that Grandpa Qin probably didn¡¯t know how to use a machine. Joes observed it carefully through the ss. The gem on this Gem Earring had been polished to a warm luster and was as delicate as Jade. As expected of a master, he would not be drowned by this level of skill. Joes could not help but sigh in her heart as a smile appeared on her face. In a small ce like fog City, she could be considered to have met a true expert. Yun Qi¡¯s grandmother Chen was the same, but she focused on design. Both of them were Masters in the jewelry design industry. If it wasn¡¯t for the festival Group, Joes would have brought gifts to visit them. Bringing a camera with him was still not very polite. ¡°Sigh ...¡± Joes sighed slightly and walked to Grandpa Qin. She said softly,¡±¡±Thank you, Grandpa Qin. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± After she finished speaking, a flower-like smile bloomed on her face and she lifted her feet to leave the Qin family¡¯s treasure house without hesitation. Grandpa Qin, on the other hand, frowned as he watched her leave. After they came out, the cameraman continued to follow Joes and shoot, while shepletely lost all interest in continuing with the filming. But no matter what, he was sent by Shiyupany to promote the show, so he couldn¡¯t be so perfunctory. Hence, Joes went to look for another jewelry store and paid a visit to the owner. She inquired about information and jewelry. ¡°Thank you, boss.¡± Joes looked at the owner of the jewelry store with gratitude. The shop owner shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to thank him. After joesse bade farewell, she left the jewelry store with a faint smile. At this point, the festival group¡¯s goal had been achieved. The festival Group only said that she had to go to a jewelry store to learn, but they didn¡¯t say which jewelry store she had to go to. There were still a lot of choices in front of her. Grandpa Qin probably didn¡¯t like his skills to be filmed by the festival Group. Hence, Joes came to the manager of this jewelry store to learn some basic knowledge. Actually, she knew everything. It¡¯s just for the program, just treat it as a review. Afterpleting her mission, Joes arrived at the designated location, but she realized that no one was there. Joes did not expect that she would be the first toplete this mission. She scanned her surroundings in surprise. Since director Wu was here, she could ask him if she had any questions. ¡°Director, am I the first one to arrive here?¡± Joes pointed at herself in confusion. Director Wu nodded.¡±That¡¯s right. You¡¯re the first one to arrive.¡± After getting an answer, joesse felt slightly more at ease. He just didn¡¯t know what everyone would do after studying. It was still early, and the program definitely wouldn¡¯t end so soon. Chapter 109

Chapter 109: The higher you climb, the more miserable you fall

Joes did not wander off either. After waiting at the same spot for more than ten minutes, she finally weed the first person toplete her mission. Surprisingly, this person was actually Wang Li. ¡°Wang Li?¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she greeted her. Fortunately, even though Wang Li was arrogant, she had been getting along quite well with joesse and Nangong wuque over the past few days, so she smiled and returned the greeting. Joesse and Wang Li were sitting in their chairs and waiting. There were no rules on their seats, so the two of them sat right next to each other. ¡°Is your mission rted to jewelry design?¡± Joes asked softly. Wang Li nodded. The three of them had been sent by Shiyupany to participate in the show. The purpose of this event should be simr. Joes understood and did not continue asking. Following that, one after another, almost everyone returned to the scene. Lin Xiu ¡®er was thest to arrive. Even though she had a smile on her face, Joes could only see the word ¡®gloomy¡¯ in her eyes no matter how she looked at her. This might be the reason why he had seen through the truth. Because Joes si knew what kind of person Lin Xiu ¡®er was, no matter how she looked at her, she could always see the truest side of her from her hypocritical appearance. After everyone had arrived, director Wu announced what they were going to do for thest round. ...... ording to the goals that everyone had found and the things they had learned, they woulde up with an exam paper for everyone to fill in. The person with the highest score would get a prize, while the two people with the lowest score would have to drink a cup of bitter melon juice. Upon hearing this, many people had confident smiles on their faces. They had studied for half a day, so it was impossible that they couldn¡¯t even answer a question. ¡°The exam papers will be distributed now!¡± Director Wu said. The staff distributed the test papers. Everyone¡¯s questions were different. This familiar feeling made Jossi feel as if she had returned to the time when she was taking her examinations in school. However, this was clearly not very important. After all, it was just an entertainment program. Joes picked up the pen that was ced at the side and started to check the questions on the test paper seriously. She had not guessed wrong. Many of the questions on the test paper were rted to jewelry, and half of them were rted to what she had heard in the jewelry store. The other half was her professional knowledge, and it was still not a problem for Joes. Joes raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up her pen, and began scribbling furiously on the test paper. There were not many questions, and she finished it in about ten minutes. During this period, there were also other artistes who wereining non-stop, such as primordial. Today¡¯s target list was what most people were good at, but some more difficult professional knowledge was added on top of the foundation. Just like Bai ran ¡®s, it was rted to filming. As for the others, Joes was not too sure. After spending more than ten minutes to finish, she handed the test papers to the staff. After everyone had finished writing, they began to check if they were right or wrong. There were also quite a few mistakes here, which caused a lot ofughter. Then, they were sorted ording to the results. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the person in first ce was actually Joes. She had obtained first ce in this event with a perfect score. Wang Li and Bai ran were in second ce, and Lin ya was in third ce, and so on. The few jewelry designers from Shiyu almost took the top three ces of the event, but only the first ce would get a reward. ¡°Congrattions to Joes for winning first ce. The festival Group will be rewarded with 50000 dors in cash.¡± Director Wu handed the card with 50000 dors written on it to joesse. Joesse¡¯s smile was bright as she took the te. Actually, 50,000 Yuan wasn¡¯t much. It was just that there would be more scenes if they won first ce. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s rank wasn¡¯t high. She stood in the crowd with her head slightly lowered, and the hatred in her eyes was almost about to burst out. On what basis? What right did that woman, Joes, have to get first ce! Lin Xiu ¡®er simply gnashed her teeth in hatred. But now, the matter had already be a foregone conclusion. There was no other way at all. Thinking of this, Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth and remembered the matter she had discussed with yang Yueyuest time. After the shooting of this show was over, she must tell yang Yueyue that the n was brought forward. Joes¡¯s fame had already spread. The higher she climbed, the more she would fall! Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s face revealed a trace of an evil smile. She would let Joes be smug for a while. When the time came, she would not even know how she died! Joes was not a worm in her stomach and naturally did not know what a certain someone was thinking. She only felt a strong gaze on her back, staring at her like a poisonous snake. She didn¡¯t even need to turn her head to know that it was Lin Xiu ¡®er who was looking at her. However, the show had already ended. Joes and the rest only had to attend three episodes of the show, and this was thest one. Therefore, no matter how much trouble Lin Xiu ¡®er caused, there was no need to care about her now. After the filming of the show waspleted, everyone returned to the hotel together. The director also discussed the issue of the reward with Joes. Hengyuan Investment Group would give out the first ce¡¯s reward together with the contract¡¯s remuneration. That meant that joesse would be paid 150000 Yuan for filming the show. Even Joes could not help but sigh when she heard this astronomical figure. She was still a designer before the new year. She did not expect so many changes to happen after the new year. In addition to the 200000 Yuan prize money from the designer Competition, she had almost 350000 Yuan in her bank ount. She had never seen so much money before. Joes and the rest returned to the hotel in a good mood. Just as they returned to their room, the Secretary came over and knocked on their room. Knock, knock. Joes opened the door and caught a glimpse of the Secretary standing outside. ¡°The president said that he¡¯ll be returning to city h the day after tomorrow. You guys should get ready tomorrow and say goodbye to director Wu and the others.¡± The Secretary said in a serious tone. In the room, other than Qiao si si, Lin ya and Wang Li also heard this and quickly nodded in agreement. After the Secretary left, they rxed and leaned on the bed. ¡°Sisi, before I came, I thought that filming a variety show would be easy. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so tiring.¡± Lin ya groaned as she massaged her lower legs. The festival Group had been doing physical activities for the past few days, and Lin ya rarely worked out, so it was natural for her to feel tired. Jossi was still fine. After training for a period of time, her physical strength had improved a lot. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going back to thepany soon. Get ready to pack up tomorrow. I have to go out for a while.¡± Qiao si si thought of Grandpa Qin from the Qin family¡¯s Treasure Shop. She still wanted to ask Grandpa Qin some questions, and she had time tomorrow. After making a trip there, she would return to pack her luggage. Joes decided on her schedule for the next day. Chapter 110 - The rhythm of the rain

Chapter 110: The rhythm of the rain

Lin ya¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard that she was going out for a while. She was suddenly excited. ¡°Sisi, where are you going tomorrow?¡± Lin ya took off the mask on her face and asked with burning eyes. Joes was stunned for a moment before sheughed helplessly,¡±¡±What, you¡¯re also curious about this?¡± She didn¡¯t intend to hide it from Lin ya and Huo Mian, mainly because she didn¡¯t know if Grandpa Qin would like so many people to visit him. If Lin ya and Wang Li both wanted to go, joesse would bring them along. Lin ya pouted, blinked, and said,¡±¡±Sisi, tell me, where are you going tomorrow? Are you going to Wu city to y?¡± Joes shook her head slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Li, who was standing beside him, suddenly interrupted him. ¡°Lin ya, it¡¯s other people¡¯s privacy ... Why don¡¯t you stop asking?¡± Wang Li raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on Lin ya. Hearing this, Lin ya was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and began to think. She felt that what Wang Li said was right. After all, this was Jossi¡¯s private matter, so it was better for her not to ask. ¡°Then sisi, I¡¯d better not ask.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not nning to go anywhere. I¡¯m just going to a ce called the Qin¡¯s jewelry store. It¡¯s rted to jewelry. ¡± ...... If it wasn¡¯t for Grandpa Qin being in the treasure house, she probably wouldn¡¯t have gone. He would be returning to city h the day after tomorrow, so he had to visit her when he had time. It didn¡¯t matter if he couldn¡¯t learn it. Then, Lin ya and Wang Li looked at each other and said in unison,¡±¡±The Qin¡¯s treasure house?¡± Their tone carried a hint of shock. It could be seen that the two of them had never heard of this ce. After a long while, Lin ya frowned and said softly,¡±¡±When I asked a passerby today, she listed a few jewelry stores in Wu city, but she didn¡¯t mention the Qin¡¯s treasure store you mentioned.¡± She still remembered what the passerby said. He said that there were only a few jewelry stores in Wu city. She still remembered it clearly. This way, the Qin treasure house was not famous. Joes smiled and exined,¡±¡±The Qin Treasure Shop has already closed. Grandpa Qin usually doesn¡¯t meet outsiders, but in terms of skills, he must have the real deal.¡± ¡°I¡¯m getting a little curious now ...¡± Lin ya smacked her lips and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m also busy tomorrow, so I won¡¯t be able to visit Grandpa Qin with you. ¡± Even though Wang Li had nothing to do, she was the person that joesse wanted to visit. Naturally, she would not interfere. The three of them looked at each other andughed out loud. The enmity between them and Wang Li had almostpletely disappeared. After three episodes of the show, Qiao sisi and Lin ya finally realized that Wang Li was such an easy-going person. She was very different from Wei Ya, and she had her own principles. This person seemed to be from a true upper-ss education. He was a little arrogant, but he was not annoying at all. At the very least, Joes and Lin ya had a good impression of each other, and the three of them got along very well. Because they were very tired after a day of filming, the three of them washed up and went to bed to rest. The air conditioner in the room was constantly emitting warm air, making people more sleepy. Joes rubbed her eyes and slowly closed them. She settled her thoughts and soon fell asleep. The night was quiet. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and the weather seemed to have gotten colder. If he was not wrong, it was going to rain. Joes was wearing an extra sweater. Seeing that Lin ya and Lin Yi were still sleeping, she did not disturb them and lowered the sound of her getting up. About ten minutester, she got up and left the hotel. The hotel did provide breakfast, but Joes did not want to eat it. She felt that the soy milk and deep-fried breadsticks sold at the stalls outside were more down-to-earth. Besides, after eating these things in the morning, his mood was better. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re here again.¡± The Auntie from the breakfast stall yesterday said with a smile, but her hands were not slow. It was a little earlier today, just Seveno¡¯ clock, so there weren¡¯t many people in line at the breakfast stall. There weren¡¯t many people sitting on the seats at the side either. ¡°Yes, Auntie.¡± Joes returned a polite smile. Soon, it was her turn. The middle-aged woman looked at her and said,¡±¡±Little girl, what do you want to order today?¡± Looking at the various hot desserts on the breakfast stalls, Joes rubbed her chin with her fingers and thought about it. Very quickly, she thought of what she wanted to eat. ¡°Auntie, please give me a basket of soup dumplings and a bowl of sweet tofu pudding.¡± Joes gestured with two fingers. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Hearing this, thedy nodded and quickly took out a basket of the soup dumplings that joesse had ordered and ced it on the side. The tofu pudding was also ced in a clean bowl next to the soup dumplings. ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡± Joes handed over a ten-dor note, then walked to her seat and started eating. Each of the soup dumplings was very plump, with a lot of meat filling. The juice came out after a bite. Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up another one, her beautiful eyes curving into a beautiful Crescent. Sure enough, the breakfast from the stalls outside was more down-to-earth. She liked to eat these things in city H. Aftering to Wu city, he didn¡¯t expect the taste to be even better. Perhaps it was because of the area. Joes thought to herself as she took another sip of the tofu pudding. It was extremely sweet and smooth, even better than soy milk. In a few minutes, she had finished everything on the table. ¡°Phew ...¡± She heaved a sigh of relief. Joes was slightly satisfied, and her mood was even better. After getting up and saying goodbye to the Auntie at the breakfast stall, he went to look for a health supplement store. Since she was going to visit Grandpa Qin, she couldn¡¯t go empty-handed, so she went to the health care store and picked some health care products as a gift. This should be the mostmon type. Qiao si si did not know what Grandpa Qin liked, so she was prepared to give him some. After thinking about this, Joes lifted her eyes slightly. However, the strange feeling in her heart quickly disappeared. He couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he didn¡¯t think much about it. After buying the gifts, she walked towards the alley that she had been to yesterday. Joes¡¯s memory was pretty good, not to mention that Fog City was only so big. Almost every ce was different, so it was easy to remember the roads. They arrived at the same alley asst time. After Joes entered, she looked around but did not see the two aunties who were munching on melon seeds yesterday. Perhaps because it was too early, the aunties did not go out. They were probably still at home making breakfast or not up yet. Chapter 111 - This is just my idea

Chapter 111: This is just my idea

Joes scanned the area but did not see anyone in the alley. It was a little too quiet. He walked straight to the end of the alley. The ground was a little wet because of the weather. Hence, Qiao si si also slowed down her pace. However, the path was not long and they soon arrived at the location of the Qin¡¯s treasure store. Looking at the tightly shut door, she blinked and took a step forward. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± It was still the familiar knocking sound. The knocking sound was very soft, but it was still very clear in the quiet alley. ¡°Grandpa Qin, it¡¯s me, Qiao sisi. I¡¯m the one who came to visit you yesterday.¡± A crisp sound rang out. After Qiao si si knocked on the door and finished speaking, she stood at the side and waited for the door to open. ording to Grandpa Qin¡¯s personality, he would have opened the door for her when he heard her. After all, they had met yesterday. However, the truth proved that Joes was wrong. She stood at the door and waited for a long time, but no one came to open the door. It was very quiet inside the Qin¡¯s treasure store, as if no one was there. ¡°Grandpa Qin, you haven¡¯t woken up yet?¡± Joes mumbled to herself as she stood at the door. It was not impossible. She had arrived earlier, so perhaps he was still in bed. ...... She sighed slightly and held her forehead. It seemed that she had not thought things through too thoroughly. Otherwise, the result would not be like this. It seemed that he could only wait until the afternoon to visit. Joes looked at the door of the Qin¡¯s Treasure Shop longingly. Just as she thought that it would not open and was about to leave, the door suddenly opened. She froze on the spot. Looking at the light through the crack in the door, she instantly understood that Grandpa Qin had long been up. Cute dimples appeared on her cheeks. Joes smiled brightly and greeted the person through the crack of the door. ¡°Good Morning, Grandpa Qin. Thank you for opening the door for me.¡± After she finished speaking, Qiao si entered the Qin¡¯s Treasure Shop without hesitation. The lights inside were brighter than outside. Because it was a cloudy day, the light outside wasn¡¯t very good. After Qiao si entered the Qin family¡¯s Treasure Shop, she felt a little better after being blinded by the blinding light. Grandpa Qin leaned back in his old chair, the corners of his eyes full of wrinkles. He said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±Why did youe looking for me again today?¡± Qiao sisi did not reply immediately. Instead, she ced the health products beside Grandpa Qin. ¡°Grandpa Qin, I ... Would like to consult you on your cutting and polishing skills,¡± she said. After hesitating for a long time, joesse finally said this. Realizing that Grandpa Qin might be angry, she quickly added,¡±¡±It¡¯s not studying. I¡¯ll do it if I can see it once.¡± After saying that, Qiao si nced at Grandpa Qin¡¯s expression from the corner of her eye. He was expressionless, but no one knew what he was thinking. Experts always had quirks. Joesse understood this, but the image of grandma Chen¡¯s kind face appeared in her mind. She did not seem to have one. Grandma Chen was like a gentle grandmother next door. Not only did she give joesse that precious book, but she also gave her a book. When she visited him, she even taught him her concepts of jewelry design and some of her knowledge. Joesse had nothing to say about that. She owed grandma Chen a huge favor. He could only wait until the next time he visited to repay her. After regaining her senses, joesse listened attentively to Grandpa Qin. ¡°Watch me cut and polish it? Forget it, I haven¡¯t fought for many years. ¡± Grandpa Qin leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. After he finished speaking, his eyelids moved, but he did not open his eyes. Qiao sisi could tell that Grandpa Qin had not made a move in a long time, and the Qin Treasure Shop had also closed down for a long time. Most of the goods on the counter were missing, with only one or two items left. It looked like the shop was empty. However, the only thing that could be seen was that Grandpa Qin really cherished these things. When Qiao si si came yesterday, she had taken a look around the interior of the Qin¡¯s treasure store and had also discovered many ces that people would notice. These counters had been ced for so long, but there was actually no dust on them. This must be because Grandpa Qin cleaned it every day. Every piece of leftover jewelry and the box that was used to ce the pagoda were also extremely clean. Many things could be seen from this. Qiao si si understood. Grandpa Qin must have loved this profession a lot, but he gave it up for some reason. She wouldn¡¯t ask about this, as it had already involved someone else¡¯s privacy. If Grandpa Qin was not willing to show off his skills in front of her, Qiao si si would not force him. After Grandpa Qin said that, Joes fell into deep thought. ¡°If Grandpa Qin is unwilling, it¡¯s fine. I was just saying it casually,¡± he said. To avoid angering Grandpa Qin, Qiao sisi was prepared to give up on the idea. At most, she would just watch more rted videos on the inte. Or, he could find someone familiar with this field when he returned to city H. It would be great to learn more. Joes made a decision in her heart and a faint smile appeared on her lips. After a long while, Grandpa Qin opened his eyes. His gaze fell on Qiao si, and his eyes were no longer cloudy. It was as if he had suddenly regained his spirit, and his eyes were bright. ¡°Little girl, why do you suddenly want to see my skills?¡± he asked, sighing softly. Grandpa Qin¡¯s tone was filled with curiosity. It could be seen that he was really puzzled about this matter. Joesseughed when she heard that, a hint of a smile in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s because I¡¯ve observed the jewelry in the store. If I¡¯m not mistaken, Grandpa Qin should have personally polished and cut them. The technique is perfect and I can¡¯t see any ws. Other than that, I didn¡¯t waste any gemstones at all. It¡¯spletely ¡®perfect¡¯. Of course ... This is just my idea. ¡± After saying all that, Qiao si si heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally said it, and she hoped that Grandpa Qin would not be angry. She didn¡¯t have any intention of hiding it. It was this perfect polishing technique that attracted her. Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Grandpa Qinughed, his eyes narrowing into a line. This Grandpa Qin was much more benevolent than he was just now when he kept people at arm¡¯s length. Afterughing for a while, Grandpa Qin¡¯s expression calmed down, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face. It was unknown what he was thinking about in the past. He slowly said,¡±I have relevant books about this skill, but no matter how you look at it, it¡¯s just written knowledge.¡± How you use it and how you learn it is still up to you. I also hope that this aspect can be passed down to someone else, so as to avoid being lost in the long river of history. ¡± Chapter 112

Chapter 112: What are you thinking?

Grandpa Qin¡¯s tone was filled with emotion, and his eyes seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life. Joes stood by the side and listened attentively. She did not disturb him, but was also pondering over Grandpa Qin¡¯s words. After Grandpa Qin finished speaking, he walked towards a cab beside the counter. The cab had a silver lock on it. As expected, the key was in his hands. Using the key to open the cab, Grandpa Qin sighed and mumbled something he didn¡¯t know. The two of them were quite far apart, so Joes si did not hear what Grandpa Qin was mumbling to himself. Jossi seemed to have heard the word ¡®Chen¡¯, and was a little uncertain. Could it be that ... This Grandpa Qin had some kind of rtionship with grandma Chen, who lived in that small building in Yunqi? At the thought of this, joesse felt that her thoughts had been scattered. After all, the two of them were too far apart. Wu city was at least a seven to eight hour drive away from Yunqi. Moreover, Grandpa Qin had been staying in his Qin family¡¯s treasure store for more than ten years. Of course, it was not impossible. Joes suppressed the thoughts in her mind. A momentter, Grandpa Qin took out an ancient and thick book from the cab. The cover was written with a brush. ...... It was vigorous and powerful, like dragons and phoenixes dancing. Joes was immediately attracted by the handwriting. Grandpa Qin smiled and passed the book to her. ¡°Grandpa Qin, what are you ...?¡± Joes¡¯s hand was stuffed with a book and she was momentarily unable to react. She didn¡¯t expect Grandpa Qin to give her this precious book without saying anything. It was just like the book that grandma Chen had written, but that time, Zheng Zeyi had helped her. This time, it was Grandpa Qin¡¯s own idea. After passing the book to Qiao si si, Grandpa Qinid back on his chair and sighedfortably. He closed his eyes to rest. He did not answer Joes ¡®question. Joes did not give up and insisted,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, why did you just give me this book?¡± Shouldn¡¯t there be some kind of test to see if she was qualified to take over? ¡®Isn¡¯t this a little too hasty?¡¯Joes thought to herself. Hearing that, Grandpa Qin raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes.¡±I don¡¯t have that much to say. I¡¯ve given it to you, so I¡¯ve given it to you.¡± His tone did not allow for rejection, and Joes could not help butugh. That was true. If Grandpa Qin was willing to give it to him, it was his own will. It didn¡¯t have to depend on the skill of the person who took the book. ¡°Grandpa Qin, thank you.¡± Joes thanked him from the bottom of her heart and gave a 45-degree bow to Grandpa Qin. After she bowed, she was about to say something but was interrupted by Grandpa Qin. Grandpa Qin raised his hand slightly and said in a bitter tone,¡±¡±Girl, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to show you the relevant skills, but I can¡¯t use them anymore.¡± Upon hearing this, Qiao SI¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked at Grandpa Qin¡¯s hand. On Grandpa Qin¡¯s right hand, there was a long scar that ran through his arm. It was a very sinister-looking scar. It looked like it had been injured for a long time and had already been stitched up. However, even if it was sutured, the hand could no longer cut or Polish gems and jadeite. Because this kind of skill required a high level of mastery to avoid any mistakes. Grandpa Qin¡¯s hand could no longer do what he liked. After looking at it, Joes¡¯s nose felt a little sour. She lowered her head slightly and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, Grandpa Qin. ¡± She shouldn¡¯t havee. He had hidden it for so many years. Perhaps she had already forgotten about it. However, joesse¡¯s arrival reminded him of that. Furthermore, Grandpa Qin could no longer disy his rted skills. To think that Joes would say that at the start! She felt that her stupidity was beyond redemption! Hearing the self-me in Qiao si SI¡¯s words, Grandpa Qin shook his head slightly,¡±¡±Girl, let me ask you, my hand ... Did you hurt it?¡± Joes was stunned for a moment before she shook her head and said,¡±¡±No.¡± When Grandpa Qin¡¯s hand was injured, she was probably only a few years old. The older ones were probably in their teens and were still in school. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. Grandpa Qin was satisfied with the answer. He continued,¡±¡±Since you didn¡¯t hurt me, why do you have to me yourself?¡± Grandpa Qin revealed a smile. It should be because he had been alone in the Qin n¡¯s treasure store for a long time and had never smiled, but his smile appeared a little stiff. However, joesse felt an inexplicable sense of kindness. Just like grandma Chen, they were two very good old people. ¡°Grandpa Qin, thank you.¡± Joes chuckled, and her gloomy mood from earlier could not help but improve. But when she saw the long scar on Grandpa Qin¡¯s hand, she still felt very angry. What kind of scum could do such a thing? This hadpletely ruined a person¡¯s life! Not to mention that Grandpa Qin was in the jewelry design field. Without his right hand, he couldn¡¯t do what he liked at all. Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. If she found out who did it, she would definitely find evidence to prove it. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, little girl. It¡¯s been more than ten years, but I¡¯m still here, aren¡¯t I?¡± Grandpa Qin said as he yawned. He lookedzy, leaning on the chair and swaying slightly, restingfortably. ¡°Alright ...¡± Even though Joes was still a little unwilling, she did not say anything. After returning to city h, he would investigate the relevant matters. After all, Grandpa Qin had left Wu city before. No one in Wu city knew where he had gone. Grandpa Qin¡¯s trip was so secretive, and after he returned, he directly took over the Qin family¡¯s treasure bank, so he couldn¡¯t do any more cutting and polishing work. It was also because of this reason that the Qin¡¯s treasure store closed down. However, how many people knew about Grandpa Qin¡¯s arm injury? It was likely that no one in Wu city knew about this. Even though Joes could not be certain that she was the only one, she was definitely one of the few. So, if he wanted to investigate, he had to start from where Grandpa Qin had gone after leaving Wu city. For such a highly skilled person, if he wanted to go out and make a living, he would definitely have some reputation. In that case, it would be much easier to investigate. Joes came to a conclusion in her heart, and her expression also eased a lot, no longer as tense as before. ¡°Girl, what are you thinking about?¡± Grandpa Qin¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. Qiao sisi raised her brows and hurriedly looked up. Only then did she realize that Grandpa Qin was looking at her with a funny expression. Joes smiled. Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Don¡¯t you know how to breathe?

¡°I just thought of something ...¡± Joes exined calmly. There was not a trace of abnormality on her face. Grandpa Qin didn¡¯t suspect anything. Even if he knew what she was thinking, he wouldn¡¯t say anything. It had happened more than ten years ago. Who could guarantee that they could really find out the truth? However, he would definitely ept joesse¡¯s kind intentions. After a long while, Grandpa Qin leaned back in his chair to rest and said casually,¡±¡±Girl, I¡¯ve given you the book, can you go now?¡± ¡°I still want to have a good rest alone,¡± he added after a pause. Joesughed and nodded,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, I¡¯ll be leaving Wu city after I return today.¡± Upon hearing this, Grandpa Qin¡¯s expression froze. However, he was not too surprised. After all, he had seen Joes¡¯s words and actions, as well as her clothes. He didn¡¯t look like someone who lived in Wu city, and Grandpa Qin had never seen him before. It must be a tourist destination from another city, and he would have to leave sooner orter. It was just that ... He didn¡¯t expect it to be so fast. Grandpa Qin quickly came back to his senses and smiled.¡±¡±Little girl, you should be careful.¡± ...... ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Qin.¡± Joes nodded her head slightly, indicating that she understood. Before she left, she turned back to look at Grandpa Qin, who was resting with his eyes closed. Her eyes were filled with gratitude. Retracting her gaze, Qiao si si lifted her feet and left the Qin family¡¯s Treasure Shop, her back disappearing into the alley. What she didn¡¯t notice was that Grandpa Qin¡¯s eyes were a little cloudy as he watched her leave. ¡°Xiao Chen ... How many years has it been? how many years have I not seen you?¡± he muttered after a long time. His solitary soft Mutter reverberated in the empty treasure house of the Qin n. He appeared somewhat sad. If Jossi had heard it, she would have definitely noticed it and even contacted grandma Chen who was in Yunqi. Unfortunately, she had already left. ¡­¡­¡­ After returning to the hotel, Joes packed her books and luggage. She kept the books with her. Wei Ya was already disgusting enoughst time, and this time, there was Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was even more scheming. Who knew what kind of crazy things he would do, so it was better to be more cautious. After staying in the hotel for a peaceful day, they were ready to leave for city h the next morning. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance in the future, we¡¯ll work together again.¡± Director Wu specially came to see them off. Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, chuckled, and nodded slightly. ¡°If I have the chance, I will.¡± The Secretary said with a smile. Joes also had a faint smile on her face as she lifted her eyes and scanned the beautiful little city. Now ... He was ready to leave. After saying their goodbyes, Jossi and the rest got into the car that was returning to city h and headed back to the familiar city. Joes leaned back in her seat and held the book in her hands, but she did not open it to read. Instead, she was thinking about what she should use her savings for this time. Joes already had more than 200000 dors in savings. Naturally, she could not just keep it in the bank. Why not buy a house? At the thought of this, joesse¡¯s eyes lit up and immediately became bright and full of life. In fact, she had been thinking about this for a long time. However, housing prices were expensive in big cities. Moreover, she was a little embarrassed to live in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment. At the thought of Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi¡¯s face reddened for some reason and she felt a little ufortable. He quickly shook his head to get rid of this strange feeling. It was really strange. Why did she keep thinking about Zheng Zeyi recently? ¡°Illusion, it must be an illusion.¡± Joes took a deep breath and suppressed these unhealthy thoughts, continuing to think about serious matters. It was not a bad idea to find a small house, pay the down payment, and then make the monthly payment. After all, she had a stable job and a good sry. She wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would squander. After having an idea, he was more motivated to do things. After a long drive, the car finally returned to city H. This time, it was the weekend. Therefore, the car sent everyone home safely. ¡°See you on Monday,¡± Joesse pushed her luggage and greeted Lin ya and Wang Li, who were sitting in the car, before heading back to the apartment. She walked to the door and opened it with her key. It was very quiet inside, without a single sound. Joesse peeked out and retracted her gaze. She pushed her luggage into the room and closed the door. The light in the room was a little dim, also because the sky was a little dark now. Joes had a strange feeling. Just as she was about to reach out to turn on the lights, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone! ¡°Who ...¡± She shouted in shock. Before she could finish her sentence, Joes was pulled into an embrace. His chest was very warm, and he could even feel his heartbeat. His actions were simply too fast. Before Joes could even react, a hand had already pressed down on the back of her head. She looked up slightly, her eyes still a little confused, but she didn¡¯t know that this kind of her would make people have evil thoughts. A certain someone¡¯s eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile. In the next second, his soft lips touched joesse¡¯s Red lips, and the two of them were pressed together without any reservations. ¡°Wuwu ...¡± Joes ¡®whimpers were swallowed. She widened her eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of her that was magnified several times. She knew it, just as she had expected! It was Zheng Zeyi, that bastard! That¡¯s right, the person who was kissing Qiao si forcefully was Zheng Zeyi. He was also hugging her tightly. The atmosphere in the huge apartment became a little ambiguous. Because Qiao si wanted to speak, her defense was directly broken through. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attack could not be rejected. After a deep kiss, Joes felt that she had lost half of her life. However, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s kiss this time was different from the previous one. His kiss was filled with deep affection, like an electric current, making it impossible to refuse. After a long while, Zheng Zeyi finally let go of joesse, his face full of smiles. On the other hand, Joes was like a fish that was dying of thirst. The moment she was released, she leaned against the wall and took in big gulps of fresh air. She swallowed her saliva and was still unable to react. Zheng Zeyi looked at her with a half-smile and said with a smile,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know how to breathe when you kiss?¡± After hearing this, joesse¡¯s train of thought finally returned to her. She wanted toin that she did not have much experience in kissing, not to mention that Zheng Zeyi had suddenly attacked her. However, it would be embarrassing to say this out loud, so he might as well not say it. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you hooligan!¡± Joes reproached, her body still feeling weak and her cheeks flushed red. Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Who is that man?

Joes probably did not know how alluring she looked in Zheng ze¡¯s eyes. However, he had just taken advantage of her, so he didn¡¯t want to take advantage of her. ¡°The taste is not bad.¡± Zheng Zeyi pondered for two seconds and nodded as if he was trying to confirm something. After hearing this, Joes¡¯s anger grew. She frowned and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t spout nonsense!¡± However, Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows as if he did not hear her.¡±¡±I¡¯m telling the truth. ¡± After he finished speaking, he swaggered away, leaving behind a profound back view. On the other hand, Joes leaned against the wall for a long time before she felt her strength returning to her. Joes patted her face and felt the heat cool down a little. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be at home. Furthermore ... The thought of what had happened earlier made her face burn. Just as Jossi was about to return to her room, Zheng Zeyi came out with a gold-stamped invitation letter. He reached out to take joesse¡¯s luggage and passed her the invitation. ¡°What is this?¡± ...... There was a hint of doubt in Joes ¡®eyes. She opened the invitation and took a look. After seeing the contents, she was even more curious. This invitation was for her and Zheng Zeyi to attend a high-level banquet, which was different from the previous birthday banquet. However, there were also many aristocrats and people from the upper ss who came. ¡°The invitation, didn¡¯t you see it?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was heard not far away. A momentter, Joes closed the invitation and ced it on the cab at the side. They didn¡¯t say that they had to go, so they had to wait for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s decision this time and discuss moving out of the apartment. Joesse pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes and asked,¡±¡±You want to go? Or should I say ... Take me there?¡± Otherwise, why would Zheng Zeyi show her the invitation? They definitely had a purpose. ¡°Think about it,¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows. Upon hearing that, the corners of Jossi¡¯s mouth twitched. He had kicked the ball to her side, allowing her to make a choice. If he wanted to go, it was not impossible. It just so happened that the invitation letter was filled out on a weekend. If it was a weekend, Joes would not have much to do. ¡°I want to ask, this so-called banquet ... What exactly is it for?¡± Joes asked the question in her heart. That was the main issue. The previous birthday banquet and Yang Yue Yue¡¯s birthday banquet had left a deep impression on Qiao si si. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi could not help butugh as a glint shed across his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s just a normal party,¡± he said with a smile.¡±You don¡¯t have to worry so much. It¡¯s just a casual chat.¡± Qiao si pursed her lips. She did not believe Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. He picked up the invitation and looked around. He finally found something wrong and wrote ¡°celebration¡± in the bottom corner. This word had many meanings. Perhaps the host of the banquet held this banquet because something happy had happened. As such, if he were to go, he would have to prepare a gift. Joes furrowed her brows slightly and asked,¡±¡±If it¡¯s a celebratory banquet, I¡¯d better prepare a gift.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Before Qiao sisi could finish her sentence, Zheng ze interrupted her, his tone undeniable. As if he was aware of his tone, the corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he exined,¡±¡±It¡¯s an enemy¡¯s banquet. We¡¯re just going to take a look. There¡¯s no need to prepare any gifts. ¡± After he said this, the truth became very clear. The person who organized the banquet was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s enemy, and could also be the enemy of the Zheng¡¯s group. In any case, the rtionship between the two parties was definitely not good. But even so, the host of the banquet still sent an invitation. What did he want to do? Face-smacking Zheng Zeyi? Joes¡¯s expression became somewhat profound as she carefully thought about the possibilities. She might as well just treat it as watching a show at the banquet. Since they were enemies, there was no need to spend too much effort. When she thought of this, she felt a little more at ease and agreed.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi seemed to have known that she would agree, so he was not surprised. The next day, Joes was once again dragged to the styling shop. This time, the makeup artist was even more attentive. Light makeup set off her beautiful appearance and temperament, and she was dressed in a ck evening gown. Joes stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. She nodded in satisfaction and revealed a sweet smile. After that, she took Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car to the venue of the banquet. The venue wasn¡¯t in the city center, but in a wealthy area. A building had been booked. One of therge venues on the first floor was directly used as the venue for the banquet, and it had already been set up. After Zheng ze had parked his car in the parking lot, joesse scanned her surroundings and naturally got down from the front passenger seat. There were many luxury cars parked in the parking lot, all of which seemed to be here for the banquet. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi did not arrive early. Coincidentally, as soon as they got out of the car, another car drove in behind them and stopped beside their seats. A look of curiosity appeared on Qiao SI¡¯s face. She stood behind Zheng Zeyi and peeked out. When she saw who it was, her eyes narrowed. What a coincidence ... The person who came was an acquaintance, Jian Jia Yang Yue Yue. In addition, there was a malepanion in a gray suit beside her. He looked ordinary, but his expression was one of self-pity. If it wasn¡¯t for the situation, Joes would haveughed out loud. Qiao si pulled on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sleeve and asked,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, who is that man?¡± The voice from behind made Zheng Zeyi turn around to look. His eyes were calm as he said indifferently,¡±¡±The son of the Li family, Li Cheng. You don¡¯t have to look at him. You don¡¯t know him anyway.¡± Joes had a helpless expression. ¡®I wanted to retort, but what you said makes so much sense.¡¯ She only had a slight impression of the upper-ss society, except for the people who had attended old master Zheng¡¯s birthday party. As for the others, Joes did not know much about them. For example, Li Cheng, who was standing beside Yang Yue Yue, was someone that Joes had never seen before. She had never even heard of his name. Just as she was thinking, Yang Yue Yue clearly saw the two of them, and her expression suddenly became unkind. At the same time, she cleverly took a step back so that her cousin wouldn¡¯t see the abnormality in her expression, which would make things difficult for her. After all, Zheng Zeyi was so powerful that many people were afraid of the Zheng¡¯s group. Yang Yue Yue had already lost all her face at thest birthday party. Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Thank you for just now

¡°Yue Yue, what¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you going to say hello?¡± When Li Cheng saw Yang Yue Yue hiding behind him, he frowned. He also saw joesse and Li Cheng. He was a little dissatisfied. At this time, Yang Yue Yue should have walked up to him generously, not be so petty. After all, she was Li Cheng¡¯s femalepanion, yet she didn¡¯t know any manners. Yang Yue Yue was not about to greet her, but joesse smiled and waved at her, saying,¡±¡±Long time no see, cousin.¡± Thest word ¡°cousin¡± was emphasized, and even more so. That¡¯s right, wasn¡¯t yang Yue Yue her cousin? To the public, Qiao sisi¡¯s identity was still Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e and not someone that Yang Yue Yue could bully as she pleased. Yang Yue Yue gritted her teeth and gave up struggling. She took two steps forward and smiled,¡±¡±Cousin, cousin-inw, long time no see.¡± Zheng Zeyi was right beside her, so she did not dare to go overboard with joesse. Joes nodded slightly and said with relief,¡±¡±Cousin is too sensible. Let¡¯s go ... Let¡¯s go in together.¡± ¡°Wait, this is Li Cheng, the young master of the Li family.¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s smile froze, and she quickly pulled Li Cheng over. Hearing this, Li Cheng tidied up his suit and smiled politely.¡±¡±President Zheng, it¡¯s been a long time. This must be my sister-inw. She¡¯s a natural beauty.¡± After hearing such insincere praise, Jossi had nothing to say and only smiled. ...... Zheng Zeyi was even more indifferent. He smiled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s been a long time,¡± The huge parking lot was silent. After they greeted each other, Qiao sisi could not be bothered with Yang Yue Yue anymore. She held Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and walked towards the elevator. Even though Li Cheng was a little unhappy with Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s nonchnt attitude, he did not say anything and followed them to the elevator. As he walked, he turned to Yang Yue Yue and asked,¡±¡±Yue Yue, is this the joesse you were talking about?¡± Yang Yue Yue must have mentioned anything about Qiao si to Li Cheng. She had already guessed that her cousin would bring Qiao si along to the banquet. Looking at the current situation, it was just as he had expected. Yang Yue Yue nodded and whispered into Li Cheng¡¯s ear,¡±¡±She didn¡¯t use any legitimate means to hook up with my cousin. You should understand that.¡± ¡°Of course I understand.¡± Li Cheng¡¯s face revealed a yful smile. He looked at Jossi¡¯s exquisite back, especially under the evening dress, it looked even more curvaceous. The more he looked at it, the more it made him hot. Li Cheng was a rich yboy and had seen countless women, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Joes. He couldn¡¯t help but be interested. The two people behind him were talking so softly that they could barely be heard. However, Joes could feel a gaze sweeping across her body, which made her feel disgusted. She didn¡¯t turn around, but she walked faster. Immersed in her thoughts, joesse did not notice that Zheng Zeyi, who was standing beside her, had a dangerous expression on his face. And this emotion was directed at Li Cheng, who was behind him. After they got into the elevator, the four of them stayed in the rtively empty elevator and pressed the button for the floor where the banquet hall was located. The elevator rose quickly, but it was extremely smooth. Joesse leaned against the elevator wall, her hand on the handle as she sized up Yang Yue Yue. He was still as hypocritical as ever. He clearly didn¡¯t want to smile, but his smile was more brilliant than anything else, revealing a strange aura. After taking a nce, joesse looked away and noticed that Zheng ze¡¯s hand was holding hers tightly. At this time, Li Cheng was the first to break the silence. ¡°President Zheng, how did you and sister-inw meet? I don¡¯t think anyone in the outside world knows about this. ¡± Li Chengughed, as if he was just curious. However, Joes knew that his question was not as simple as it seemed. The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips lifted slightly as he smiled at Li Cheng. His smile was inexplicably a little creepy. After a long while, he opened his thin lips and spat out a few words,¡±¡±What does it have to do with you?¡± she asked. Was it rted ... This sentence made the whole situation awkward. After hearing this, Li Cheng was stunned. His expression was a little dazed. He did not expect Zheng Zeyi to say that. He thought that they would at least maintain a peaceful facade, but Zheng ze had broken the facade. At the same time, it also made Li Cheng realize his identity and status. What was he jealous of? Why should Zheng Zeyi amodate her for him? he was thinking too much. Li Cheng was slightly embarrassed. He touched his nose and said,¡±¡±This ... President Zheng, I was just curious.¡± Yang Yue Yue lowered her head and couldn¡¯t help but call him an idiot in her heart. The n to deal with Joes should have been carried out in secret, but this idiot had actually said it out loud. If he wasn¡¯t stupid, what was he? Zheng Zeyi chuckled, but his voice was cold. ¡°I don¡¯t need to.¡± After he said those three words, the elevator arrived at the level of the banquet hall. Zheng Zeyi was not in the mood to stay any longer. He pulled joesse¡¯s hand and left the elevator, walking towards the lobby. Yang Yue Yue and Li Cheng were left alone in the elevator, looking at each other. ¡°This Zheng Zeyi, he¡¯s not giving me any face.¡± Li Cheng¡¯s face was gloomy, and the smile he had just now was gone. Yang Yue Yue red at Qiao si SI¡¯s back with hatred and said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I have a way to deal with her, but you have to help. ¡± At this moment, Li Cheng was also drooling over joesse¡¯s body, so he immediately agreed. ¡°Alright, what do we need to do?¡± Li Cheng smiled and asked curiously. Yang Yue Yue sneered and said,¡±we¡¯ll do this ...¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The banquet hall was decorated magnificently and luxuriously. The bright and soft light illuminated the entire Hall, and there was a tape ying light music. The level of the music instantly increased. The moment Jossi followed Zheng ze into the hall, the handsome man and beautiful woman duo instantly attracted a lot of attention. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, thank you for just now.¡± A smile shed across Joes¡¯s eyes as she said softly. In fact, Zheng Zeyi did not have to protect her most of the time. It did not mean that he would have any so-called responsibility just because they were fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e to the public. The two of them were just taking what they needed. Helping out was a favor, and even if they didn¡¯t help, it was also their duty. When Zheng ze heard Qiao sisi¡¯s thanks, his expression was calm and he did not seem to have any emotions. After a while, he spoke. However, he did not answer Joes¡¯s question. Instead, he said,¡±¡±At the banquet, you should be able to see the acquaintance fromst time.¡± Chapter 116

Chapter 116: He doesn¡¯t look easy to get along with

The meaning was obvious, which meant that he could see the people who had attended old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquetst time. Joes nodded slightly and scanned the banquet hall. There were many unfamiliar faces, but there were also some familiar faces. Most of them had been seenst time, and the rest had not attended old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet. After all, city h was only so big, and there were only a few family forces in the upper ss. No matter how many banquets were held, there would always be familiar people appearing. After the two of them entered the center of the banquet hall, a person next to them came up with a ss of red wine to greet them. It was a middle-aged man in a ck suit. His eyes seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and he had a faint smile on his face. Joes raised her head and nced at him. She had never seen this man before, and he probably did not attend old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet. If he hade, she would at least have some impression of him. ¡°President Zheng, long time no see.¡± A loud male voice rang out. After the greeting, the middle-aged man raised the ss of red wine in his hand, his smile deepened, and he took a sip of the red wine in the ss. Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and picked up a ss of red wine from the table beside him. He swirled it gently and clinked his ss with the middle-aged man ¡®s.¡±President Lin, we meet again.¡± The middle-aged man who was addressed as President Lin smiled, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. ¡°President Zheng, you are a Dragon among men. You are so sessful at such a young age and have taken over the Zheng¡¯s group. I can only admire you.¡± The middle-aged man said with a smile. ...... ¡°President Lin, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a smile. The two of them continued to negotiate, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Upon seeing this, Joes raised her brows slightly and revealed a smile. Just as she was about to pick up the ss of red wine on the table, her hand suddenly stopped. There was a waiter in a ck uniform at the side. He was holding a tray with a few sses of orange juice on it. The color was bright, and it was obvious that it was pure fruit juice. At a banquet of this level, there should not be any impure fruit juice. ¡°Oh ...¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes lit up.¡±Can you wait for a while?¡± Hearing her words, the waiter stopped in his tracks. He turned around and saw Jossi who was right in front of him. Looking at her evening gown and gorgeous dress, he knew that she was not an ordinary guest. The waiter quickly lowered his head and said respectfully,¡±¡±Dear miss, may I know what you need?¡± Jossiughed when she heard that. Her fair fingers tapped on the cup on the te as she asked curiously,¡±¡±Is this for any particr guest?¡± She didn¡¯t really want to drink red wine. After all, it was an outside ce and she didn¡¯t really want to touch it. Fruit juice was better. Hearing this, the waiter shook his head slightly and said,¡±¡±No customers specifically asked for it. It¡¯s just sent to the table. If the customers want it, they can take it at will.¡± After saying that, joesse was relieved. After saying ¡°thank you¡±, she took a ss of fruit juice and took a sip. It was sweet. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she held a ss of fruit juice. She noticed that Zheng ze and the other two had walked a little further away, so she did not follow them. Perhaps the two of them had some business issues to discuss, and she didn¡¯t need to go over and listen. After finding a ce to sit down, Joes sipped on her fruit juice while scanning the banquet hall. Most of the people should have arrived by now, as the banquet hall was packed with people. Fortunately, the venue was spacious, so it did not seem crowded. The men and women who came were all wearing expensive suits or evening dresses. Some of the evening dresses were decorated with small diamonds, and they exuded a bright light under the light. It was a little ring, so joesse covered her eyes and looked at Li Cheng and Yang Yue Yue. He saw a few young men and women, who should be from noble families. Although Yang Yue Yue was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin, her family¡¯s power was only average, and no one had been too ttering to her. One could tell from Li Cheng¡¯s attitude. ¡°Ha ...¡± Joes chuckled and sipped the fruit juice in her ss. The lines of her neck were beautiful. When Zheng Zeyi came over and saw this scene, his eyes darkened, but his lips were full of smiles. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Upon hearing this familiar voice, Joes did not even need to lift her head to know who it was. ¡°I¡¯m looking to see how our cousin is doing over there,¡± she said with a smile.¡±Is there a problem?¡± ¡°No,¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. As more and more guests gathered around, Joes leaned back in her seat and felt a strange feeling. He seemed to be thirsty ... At the thought of this, Joes frowned and finished the fruit juice in one gulp, wiping the corners of her mouth. Looking at the many business elites gathered around Zheng Zeyi, one could tell that he had indeed achieved a lot. At this time, the host of the banquet finally stood on the high tform in the center of the banquet hall. As the spotlights gathered on the stage, the surrounding discussions gradually died down, and everyone¡¯s eyes were attracted to the stage. Zheng Zeyi looked up with a deep gaze. The organizer of this banquet ... Did not get along with him, and his intention of inviting him was very obvious. This time, he had just won the right to use a piece ofnd. He was preparing to build a holiday vi, which was a huge project. Both the investors and partners attached great importance to this project, which made this person extremely proud. This was why he invited Zheng Zeyi to admire his sess. Little did he know that the things he was so proud of were nothing in Zheng ze¡¯s eyes. ¡°Wee, everyone, to the banquet I¡¯m hosting!¡± The man in a suit walked up to the stage with a smile on his face. Upon seeing this person, Joes¡¯s expression changed slightly. She had seen this man at old master Zheng¡¯s birthday party before, but they had not sat at the same table, and they had not interacted much. It seemed like ... He was called qu Ling or something, but she couldn¡¯t remember it clearly. Qu Ling¡¯s voice attracted the reaction of many people in the audience. Everyone apuded to congratte him. One of them even held up a ss of red wine and seemed to have a good rtionship with qu Ling. ¡°Congrattions to President qu for obtaining that piece ofnd. I wish President qu sess in your project!¡± Qu Ling also raised his ss of red wine and said with a smile,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll be counting on your blessings.¡± After the speech, the atmosphere of the banquet was obviously stirred up. After qu Ling got off the stage, many people surrounded him, most of them ttering him. There were even people who imed that he was the strongest person of his generation, but they did not know that the true business genius was clearly standing beside Joes. He was standing there without her knowing. Joris retracted her gaze and asked curiously,¡±¡±You said that the person you don¡¯t get along with is this qu Ling? He really doesn¡¯t look easy to get along with. ¡± Chapter 117

Chapter 117: There¡¯s nothing wrong with that

¡°Yes, it¡¯s him.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded with a yful smile on his face. No one could tell that he was upset. He hade to this banquet with Joes to watch the show and to see what tricks qu Ling had up his sleeve. Qu Ling was still too inexperienced to stir up Zheng Zeyi¡¯s emotions. ¡°I originally wanted to bring you to watch a show. I thought there would be some tricks, but the result is really disappointing ...¡± Zheng ze¡¯sment made Jossi chuckle. After all, qu Ling was too arrogant. He probably did not expect Zheng ze to see him like this. ¡°You¡¯re really straightforward. You see ... He¡¯sing over.¡± Joes was still talking when she noticed qu Ling walking towards her. He had probably seen Zheng Zeyi and wanted to show off. His methods were still too crude, but he would not make Zheng Zeyi unhappy. After joesse had finished, qu Ling had almost reached the two of them, with a group of people behind him. She said that she wanted to say hello to Zheng Zeyi, but who knew what she was thinking? ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this the famous President Zheng? Why are you here with your fianc¨¦e? why don¡¯t you go over there for a gathering?¡± ...... Qu Ling¡¯s tone carried a hint of ridicule as his gaze swept across Zheng Zeyi and the other two. There were so many rumors in the outside world. Naturally, he had also heard about Zheng Zeyi finding a fianc¨¦e. One had to know that he had been shocked at the time. She had never thought that Zheng Zeyi would find amoner to be his fianc¨¦e. Wasn¡¯t this a voluntary act of inferiority? Qu Lingughed even more arrogantly, and the way he looked at Zheng Zeyi became more and more strange. He had to admit that he was still very confident in himself. Hearing this, Zheng Zeyi returned a smile. His expression was slightly unfathomable as he said indifferently,¡±¡±President qu, it¡¯s your celebration. Why are you looking for us?¡± Qu Ling waved his hand and picked up a ss of red wine. He said with a smile,¡±¡±President Zheng, you¡¯re being too polite. I saw you from far away. How could I note and greet you?¡± ¡°Oh ... I see.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions became slightly serious, as if they were having an invisible confrontation. There were many people behind qu Ling who came to greet Zheng Zeyi. They naturally could not ignore the president of the Zheng Corporation, who had a reputation in the business world, attending the banquet. Otherwise, if any of the projects were rted to the Zheng Corporation, even if it was just a small rtionship, it would not be easy. Everyone raised their sses and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time. You¡¯re still so suave. Let me toast you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Two business geniuses are here. We¡¯re on a higher level, hahaha.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Zheng Zeyi only responded to a few words and toasted a few sses of red wine. Fortunately, there wasn¡¯t a lot of red wine in the wine ss, but it was still okay. After everyone was done with their ttery, qu Ling¡¯s interested gaze fell on Joes, and he could not help butugh strangely. This smile made Qiao si feel extremely ufortable. She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and walked behind Zheng Zeyi. It wasn¡¯t because she was afraid, but because these people¡¯s gazes were all sweeping over her body, which made her feel very ufortable. ¡°I¡¯m afraid this is President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e. She¡¯s really a beauty. President Zheng¡¯s taste is really good!¡± Although qu Ling seemed to beplimenting him, Zheng Zeyi knew that it was not apliment at all. He emphasized on Joes¡¯s beauty without mentioning her background. Moreover, he used a tone that sounded like a joke. Anyone with a brain would probably know what qu Ling meant. Joes narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression unfriendly. This qu lingguo was really an annoying fellow. It was no wonder that Zheng Zeyi was at odds with him. Who would have a good impression of him when he would bite everyone he saw? He wasn¡¯t a masochist. Wasn¡¯t qu Ling just saying that she, joesse, was amoner, and that she was only passable in terms of looks? Joes was no fool, she could not understand such a simple meaning. ¡°Leave it to me ...¡± Joesse said softly behind Zheng Zeyi as she had a n in mind. The volume of his voice was also controlled very carefully to avoid being heard by the people in front. However, Zheng Zeyi heard it. His eyes shed with surprise and curiosity. He was a little curious about what joesse was going to do. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. A maic voice came from the front, and Joes ¡®heart settled down a little after she got her answer. Since Zheng Zeyi had agreed, she did not have to worry about anything else. She took a step forward and faced qu Ling¡¯s aura fearlessly. Instead, she smiled sweetly. Matched with a ck evening gown, she looked even more imposing and attracted the attention of others. Qu Ling was even more interested when he saw how fearless Joes was. ¡°Thank you for thepliment, President qu. I¡¯m a little scared.¡± Joes said with a smile. Her bright eyes looked even more alluring under the light. Upon hearing this, qu Ling paused for a moment, then smiled and said,¡±¡±President Zheng is a rare talent in the industry. Naturally, you have a good eye. How should I address you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m surnamed Qiao. ¡± Qu Ling understood and said with a smile,¡±Miss Qiao, nice to meet you. Please take care of me.¡± ¡°I should be the one saying this to President qu.¡± Joes said as she gently shook the ss of fruit juice in her hand. Zheng Zeyi found it more and more interesting as he watched from the side. At the same time, he ced his hand on joesse¡¯s waist. This woman¡¯s waist ... Was too thin. Zheng Zeyi tightened his grip and frowned slightly. He was not very satisfied with the touch. That was because Joes was too thin. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were a match made in heaven, and they were extremely loving. ¡°Miss Qiao and President Zheng are a good match.¡± Qu Ling¡¯s eyes shed with a strange light. He couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips and drink a mouthful of red wine to quench his thirst. ¡°Everyone, what did I say?¡± Qu Ling turned around and said to the crowd behind him. This was his banquet, and most of the people behind him wanted to please qu Ling, so this was a good opportunity. ¡°Miss Qiao and President Zheng are a perfect match. President qu is right.¡± ¡°They¡¯re more than just a perfect couple ...¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were a little cold as she quietly listened to those people¡¯s words of ttery. They were so hypocritical that it was hard to ept. Each of their faces revealed a hypocritical look. In order to please qu Ling, they would say almost anything. If not for the asion, Joes would not even bother with these people. Especially qu Ling, his arrogant look was simply ufortable. Also, the way he looked at Joes was nauseating. She had long noticed that there was a faint desire in his eyes, so she should not have seen it wrong. Chapter 118

Chapter 118: What did you drink?

At the thought of this, Joes heaved a sigh of relief and calmed her emotions. After a while, when the people around qu Ling had finished their ttery, the atmosphere gradually becameugher. Joes pushed the hair on her forehead back and took a sip of her juice. She then said,¡±¡±President qu, Zeyi ... Congratted you on your project. However, President qu, don¡¯t be too proud now. After all, the project has just started and many aspects have not been perfected. After it¡¯s sessful, Zeyi will give you another big gift, how about it?¡± After saying that, joesse¡¯s eyes brightened even more, and she smiled widely. She didn¡¯t want to continue beating around the bush. Since qu Ling cared about these things, she had to start from these aspects. Only a knife like this would hurt the most! Sure enough, after qu Ling heard this, his face darkened and he almost couldn¡¯tugh. He held the ss of red wine with more strength, and the veins on his hands were visible. What did he mean by the project had just started? It was just that qu Ling¡¯s project had just started and there were no real results yet. However, the n for the resort was very Grand. With so many investors, it was almost impossible to fail. However, Joes still said that, just to find an excuse to mock qu Ling. ...... Qu Ling understood this very well, but he couldn¡¯t suppress the anger in his heart. In particr, the figures of Jossi and Zheng Zeyi stung his eyes, making him even angrier. As for Zheng Zeyi, he did not have any objections to the big gift that Qiao si si had mentioned. If qu Ling¡¯s project really seeded, so what if he gave him a so-called ¡°big gift¡±? The key was still the results. They were still in the early stages, so what was there to be proud of? The crowd was even more shocked when they heard Joes¡¯s clear and honest words. They did not expect that President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e would be so arrogant that she even dared to offend President qu. However, it made sense. With Zheng Zeyi¡¯s status, the Zheng¡¯s group was almost the leader of the industry. What was there to be afraid of? With this thought in mind, the crowd was no longer as shocked as before, and they were relieved. ¡°Miss Qiao, you have a unique opinion ...¡± Qu Ling almost squeezed out these words from the gaps of his teeth. His eyes seemed to be burning! When Zheng ze met such a gaze and knew that qu Ling was looking at joesse, his aura exploded. Having been in the position of CEO for many years, he had long trained a terrifying aura. At this moment, he did not hold back at all. ¡°What my fianc¨¦e said is naturally right.¡± Zheng Zeyi said calmly. ¡°You ...¡± Qu Ling¡¯s eyes widened. Hearing that, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curved up slightly and he looked at qu Ling with a deep gaze.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? President qu, do you think I said something wrong?¡± His gaze carried a sense of danger, and his tone was even more threatening. This also made qu Ling understand that Zheng Zeyi was not afraid of him at all. ¡°That¡¯s right. If my fianc¨¦ has said anything wrong, President qu, please forgive him.¡± Joes said with a smile. Qu Ling was so angry that smoke was rising from his head. He had never seen such a shameless person. He did not say what Zheng Zeyi said wrong, but he could not refute Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reason. Apart from that, there was another reason, and that was that he didn¡¯t dare to refute. Many of the investors for the vi were Zheng ze¡¯s Zheng group. Although qu Ling was proud of his intelligence and wisdom, he was not confident that he could face the Zheng family now. The Zheng family¡¯s strength was deeply rooted and extremely difficult to deal with. It was not something that could be easilypeted with bypleting any project. The most important thing was to expand his own power. ¡°No,¡± qu Ling said with an unsightly expression,¡±I think you¡¯re right. I just didn¡¯t react in time.¡± The lie was clumsy, but it was a way out. With that, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes seemed to be smiling as he said casually,¡±¡±Oh ... I see.¡± Joes was about to speak when she felt a wave of difort in her body. She felt a little hot, perhaps due to her mood. She heaved a sigh of relief. After she had calmed down, she felt slightly better. Qu Ling lost all interest inmunicating with Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si after hearing their song-like words. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb the two of you. Let¡¯s go.¡± Qu Ling¡¯s face was not kind, but he still squeezed out an ugly smile. After he finished speaking, he led the group of people behind him to another ce. This group of people had just arrived in such a grandiose manner, and now they were leaving in a dejected manner. It was truly somewhatical. Joes felt a little relieved as she smiled and said,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, your words are like needles hidden in cotton.¡± Jossi had heard everything he had said. Compared to her showing off, Zheng Zeyi was more inclined to be a beast in human clothing. On the surface, they seemed to be fine, but who knew if they would stab you in the back. Of course ... This was just Jossi¡¯s own perception. Although Zheng Zeyi did not know what she was thinking, he knew that she was up to no good judging from her smirk. ¡°Compared to you, I¡¯m stillcking.¡± Zheng Zeyi said humbly. Joes fixed her gaze on him and quickly waved her hands, indicating that she was stillcking in many areas. Besides, she didn¡¯t know much about the business situation. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have made it sound so simple. At least, he had to make qu Ling feel ashamed. With such arge group of people, they walked over grandly. Those who knew them said that it was a greeting, but those who didn¡¯t know would think that they wereing over for something. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s identity made these people have too many scruples, and only qu Ling dared to say that. If it were someone else, it would be a question whether they would dare toe to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Tsk, but you¡¯re right about one thing. This qu Ling guy is really annoying. That arrogant face, tsk ...¡± Joesse sighed. It was true that he was arrogant, but the problem was in front of whom he was arrogant. Who was Zheng Zeyi? he was the president of a leading businesspany. He was not an ordinary person on the street. His sense of superiority should not be unted in front of him. After all, he was the most outstanding person among his peers. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face revealed a smile. He raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±You sure know how to talk.¡± ¡°Good, good.¡± Joes shook her head slightly and chuckled. That ufortable feeling became more and more intense, and a bad premonition welled up in joesse¡¯s heart. Was it because he had drunk something? Thinking of this, she looked at the juice in her hand. Maybe someone had drugged it. Chapter 119

Chapter 119: I¡¯ll take it as your silent agreement

But even if the juice was really drugged, how could that person guarantee that she would drink it? After all, there had been no warning when joesse had taken the fruit juice. She could have also taken the red wine or something. From the looks of it, he should have been overthinking. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well. I¡¯ll go sit in the lounge next door. ¡± Joes rubbed her brows and said softly. She put the juice on the table. Even if there was no problem with the juice, she didn¡¯t want to drink it anymore. ¡°Ufortable?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi frowned and scanned Joes from head to toe. He heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see any injuries. Then, her clear voice rang out,¡±¡±Um ... My stomach doesn¡¯t feel so good. I¡¯ll go to the lounge for a while.¡± As he thought of a certain possibility, Zheng Zeyi did not ask any further. He nodded and watched as Qiao si left. On this floor, apart from the banquet hall, there was also a lounge next door for the guests to rest. Joes walked towards the resting room. What she did not notice was Yang Yue Yue¡¯s sinister smile as she watched her leave. The lounge was simple and Grand. Once you entered, you would be faced with a soft sofa, as well as a convenient ce to rest. That¡¯s weird ... Why do I feel so ufortable? ...... Joes furrowed her brows tightly and rubbed her temples, but the strange feeling in her body followed her like a shadow. If she didn¡¯t remember wrongly, the symptoms only appeared after she entered the banquet hall. ¡°Juice?¡± Jossi mumbled softly. She had ced that ss of fruit juice in the banquet hall. If it had really been drugged, then it would be solid evidence! At the thought of this, her heart tightened and she turned to leave the lounge. At this moment, a familiar male voice came from behind her, with a hint of a smile,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, why are you in such a hurry to leave? aren¡¯t you going to stay for a while?¡± rm bells went off in joesse¡¯s heart, and a chill ran up her spine. She didn¡¯t need to turn around to know who was standing behind her. It was the man who had just entered the banquet hall with Yang Yue Yue, Qian Qian, Li Cheng. By now, even if the symptoms in her body were not obvious, Joes knew that this was a conspiracy. There was definitely something wrong with that ss of fruit juice! Li Cheng saw that Qiao sisi¡¯s figure had frozen on the spot, and his mocking smile deepened. He slowly took a few steps forward and said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? aren¡¯t you being a little rude?¡± As the sound got closer, joesse¡¯s eyes became more determined and she took a deep breath. The next moment, she bit the tip of her tongue and used the pain to force herself to wake up. Her mind suddenly became much clearer. ¡°So it¡¯s boss li ... I didn¡¯t know you were here. In that case, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Joes¡¯s gaze was alert as she forced a smile. After she finished speaking, she turned and ran towards the door. The only hope they had was to leave the lounge! Otherwise, she, a woman who could not even truss a chicken, would definitely not be able to win against Li Cheng. There was a natural gap between the two of them in terms of strength. However, she had just taken a step forward when her wrist was suddenly mped down by arge hand. The force was so strong that it seemed as if it was going to crush the bones in her hand. Joes gritted her teeth and turned to look at Li Cheng, her eyes filled with anger. ¡°Li Cheng, I advise you to think about the consequences before you do anything. I¡¯m Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If you dare to do anything to me, his anger ... Will you be able to bear it?¡± Joes shouted and tried to struggle, but Li Cheng¡¯s strength was much greater than she had imagined, and she could not pull her hand out. Shepletely believed that this was Yang Yue Yue and Li Cheng¡¯s plot, and they were indeed in cahoots. Li Chengughed evilly and looked at her with fiery eyes.¡±Zheng Zeyi? Do you think he would go against my Li family for a broken shoe? Think about it carefully. ¡± His tone was extremely firm, as if he was certain that nothing would happen even if something happened between him and Joes. Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed and her body gradually rxed. She said coldly,¡±¡±Let go, I won¡¯t run. It hurts when you grab me.¡± Hearing her calm words, Li Cheng¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of shock. After a long while, he let go of joesse¡¯s hand. As expected, he kept his word and did not run away. Instead, he stood in ce. Joes nced at the main door. It had been locked at some point in time, so there must be someone outside to receive Li Cheng. Yang Yue Yue ... Very well, I¡¯ll remember this! After thinking about it for a while, Joes slowly heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the soft sofa. The soreness in her body was getting worse and worse. The ss of fruit juice was probably drugged, which was why she felt so ufortable. ¡°Did you and Yang Yue Yue n this together?¡± The clear voice that belonged solely to Jossi rang out and reverberated in the lounge. It made her appear calm and unhurried. Joes had indeed calmed down. Now that things hade to this, there was no point in panicking. It was better to sort out the current situation and dy time. As soon as Zheng ze noticed anything unusual, he mighte to the lounge to look for her. This was her greatest hope at the moment. As for making a scene in the lounge to attract the guests in the banquet hall, that was probably the stupidest way. The soundproofing of such high-end ces was very good. Not to mention that the people in the banquet hall couldn¡¯t hear it, even if the soundproofing was poor, it would be suppressed by the music in the banquet hall. Moreover, it would also enrage Li Cheng and aggravate the situation. The loss outweighs the gain. Within a short period of time, Joes had thought through everything and chose the most suitable method for herself. Li Cheng became more interested when he saw Qiao sisi sitting so calmly on the sofa. He raised his eyebrows and leaned on the other sofa. ¡°Why ...¡± He said with a smile,¡±miss Qiao, don¡¯t you feel scared? you still have the mood to ask me this question.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of being afraid?¡± Li Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction at joesse¡¯s question and pped for her. ¡°As expected of the woman that President Zheng fancied. She¡¯s quite bold. As for who did it, you don¡¯t need to know.¡± Li Cheng was still cautious and did not expose the mastermind behind the scenes so as not to leave any evidence. ¡°It¡¯s yang Yue Yue, right?¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in her smile. Other than Yang Yue Yue, who else would hate her so much? Upon hearing this, Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders.¡±¡±You can think whatever you want.¡± ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to say it, I¡¯ll take it as a silent agreement.¡± After saying that, joesse furrowed her brows. That sore and weak feeling surged up again, and her body felt powerless. Chapter 120 - I’ve taught you for so many years in vain

Chapter 120: I¡¯ve taught you for so many years in vain

She could only lean half of her body on the sofa to hide the abnormality in her body so that Li Cheng wouldn¡¯t find out. But even so, it seemed to be of no use. Li Cheng looked at Joes with a determined look in his eyes. He stood up and walked in front of Joes, bowing slightly. His looks could only be considered above average, but coupled with Joes ¡®loathing of him, he was extremely ugly. Li Cheng ced his finger on Joes¡¯s chin and sneered,¡±¡±Do you really think I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re stalling for time? I¡¯m just waiting for the medicine to take effect. ¡± At this point, the effects of his knockout powder were fully disyed. Joes did not even have the strength to move her fingers. He could only passively ept Li Cheng¡¯s touch. Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with anger as she coldly said,¡±¡±So, you¡¯ve decided to do this?¡± ¡°Ha ...¡± Li Cheng did not pay any more attention to Joes¡¯s words. Instead, he sneered and grabbed her evening gown with his other hand. Joesse gritted her teeth and used all her strength to raise her hand, smacking Li Cheng¡¯s hand away. ¡°Stop it first, we can have a chat. What did Yang Yue Yue say? She¡¯s just Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin and I¡¯m his fianc¨¦e. You should know what¡¯s more important. Yang Yue Yue is definitely not as important as me. We can discuss this. ¡± ...... Joes¡¯s eyes were clear as she spoke word by word. She had already tried her best to attract Li Cheng to her, hoping that he would stop. After Li Cheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment. However, it was only for a short moment. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but at the moment, the temptation of beauty is still greater. ¡± Li Cheng¡¯s tone was a little anxious. It was obvious that he was also worried that someone woulde to the lounge if they dyed too long. ¡°Li Cheng!¡± Joes shouted, but even so, she did not stop him. She took a deep breath. Her rationality was gradually being consumed by the drug, but she still didn¡¯t want to give up. Just as Joes lifted her leg and was about to kick him, a loud noise suddenly came from the lounge. ¡°Bang!¡± The locked door was kicked open. A ray of hope appeared in joesse¡¯s eyes when she heard the voice. She looked up and saw a familiar figure at the door. He was tall and slender, like a pine tree, wearing a suit. In particr, his exquisitely sculpted and delicate face made him look even more handsome under the soft light. To Joes, this was no different from a God saving her from a disaster. Li Cheng was a little flustered. He quickly turned around and looked at the door. When he saw Zheng Zeyi standing at the door, his face immediately stiffened. This was like being caught doing something bad. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was so dark that it looked like water could drip out of it. He clenched his fists tightly by his side, and the veins on the back of his hands were visible. How could he not be angry when he saw such an ambiguous scene just after breaking through the door? ¡°Zheng Zeyi ... Save me.¡± Joes¡¯s voice was as soft as a mosquito ¡®s. If not for the fact that the lounge was too quiet, her voice would not have been heard. After the medicine took effect, she felt even more powerless and even a faint trace of heat. ¡°Li Cheng, you¡¯re good.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was extremely cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cer. It made one¡¯s hair stand on end. Li Cheng, for example, stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes. His expression stiffened, and he couldn¡¯t help but take a step back.¡±¡±President Zheng ... This, this is a misunderstanding. Please believe me.¡± At this moment, he finally felt how powerful Zheng Zeyi¡¯s aura was. Zheng Zeyi looked at Li Cheng coldly and walked quickly towards joesse¡¯s location. There was a slight breeze as he walked past. ¡°President Zheng ...¡± Li Cheng was a little scared. However, no matter what he said now, no one would pay attention to him. Zheng ze walked in front of her and lifted her up by the waist like a princess. He looked at the fragile face of the person in his arms, and the anger in his heart seemed to be ignited, and he could not suppress it at all. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, thank you.¡± Joesughed, but her smile seemed a little weak. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face turned even colder. He turned to look at Li Cheng.¡±If you dare to touch my people, it means that you don¡¯t care about the consequences. The Li Corporation will disappear from the world!¡± At the end of his sentence, his tone carried a hint of killing intent. He was very clear that if he had not arrived in time, Joris would have been a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be ughtered. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s anger had reached its peak. After saying this, he carried Joes out of the lounge and walked towards the underground parking lot. He wanted to bring her back. ¡°President Zheng, President Zheng, don¡¯t go!¡± Li Cheng¡¯s face was filled with fear. He wanted to run after Zheng Zeyi, but the elevator door closed quickly and the terrifying figure disappeared at the entrance of the elevator. It¡¯s over ... This time, it¡¯s all over! Li Cheng leaned against the wall and slowly slumped to the ground. The expression on his face had already reached the limit of despair. He had considered everything, but he had not considered one thing. The position that Qiao sisi held in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart was more important than he had imagined. It was no wonder that he did not listen to Jossi¡¯s advice at all. Li Cheng swallowed his saliva and took out his cell phone from the pocket of his suit pants. With trembling fingers, he dialed his father¡¯s phone number. The Li family was not his, but his father ¡®s. If his father found out about this, Li Cheng didn¡¯t know what kind of consequences he would have to face. ¡°Di...Di...Di ...¡± The sound of a sessful call came from the phone. Every time it rang, Li Cheng felt as if his heart was being cut into pieces. He was still somewhat aware of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s power. In the business world, he could be said to be an existence that could summon the wind and rain. There was nothing he didn¡¯t do. This time, the Li Corporation might really be facing a disaster. ¡°Hello?¡± The voice of Li Cheng¡¯s father came from the other end of the phone. Hearing this, Li Cheng became even more afraid. He swallowed his saliva and said,¡±¡±Dad, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? aren¡¯t you at President Qu¡¯s banquet?¡± On the other end of the phone, Mr. Li¡¯s voice sounded a little confused. Li Cheng took a deep breath and told him everything, including Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude. On the other end of the line, Mr. Li¡¯s emotions were fluctuating. He waspletely furious. ¡°You idiot! I¡¯ve taught you for so many years in vain. You even dared to provoke Zheng Zeyi?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Zheng Zeyi carried joesse into the elevator, and the elevator began to descend slowly towards the underground parking lot. Chapter 121 - You’re the one who didn’t let me go

Chapter 121: You¡¯re the one who didn¡¯t let me go

In the spacious room, the atmosphere had inexplicably changed. It was ambiguous and unclear. Qiao si leaned into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s embrace with her eyes tightly shut. When she opened them again, her gaze had already be a little unfocused. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯m so hot.¡± Joes mumbled softly as her body moved restlessly. The clothes on her shoulders slid down a little, revealing her fair and delicate corbones. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened at the sight of such an alluring scene. He said in a low voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t move. ¡± If he moved any further, even if he had good self-control, he would probably not be able to resist swallowing this little white rabbit. However, Joes had no idea how alluring she looked right now. She frowned in grievance and stammered,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to move either, but I¡¯m so hot.¡± Her rationality had beenpletely consumed by the drug, and she was very different from the usual Joes. If she was still rational, she would be even more furious at Yang Yue Yue and Li Cheng. This was because what the two of them had drugged was not a knockout powder, but an aphrodisiac! The atmosphere was getting more and more ambiguous. Zheng Zeyi hugged joesse tightly. Fortunately, the elevator finally reached the underground parking lot and the door opened with a ¡®beep¡¯. He quickly walked towards his car and ced Jossi in the back seat. He then heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly started the car and drove to the hospital. He had to go to the hospital to get rid of the drug. As the car drove onto the road, Joes, who was in the back seat, sat up. Her hair stuck to her face, forming a sharp contrast with her fair skin. ...... The evening dress on her shoulder had also slipped a little, giving off a kind of messy beauty. ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were dazed as she looked at the scenery outside the car window. ¡°The hospital,¡± Zheng Zeyi replied indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m not going. I want to go home. Take me home now. ¡± Joes furrowed her brows, looking as if she had regained her consciousness. However, Zheng Zeyi was not a fool. He could tell that there was something wrong with her. After a long while, his maic voice sounded,¡±Are you sure?¡± You¡¯re not going to the hospital, but home?¡± His tone was somewhat thought-provoking. Joes tilted her head and nodded while leaning against the seat.¡±¡±Um ... I want to go home. Can¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m willing to serve you.¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled evilly. He turned the steering wheel and the car changed direction, heading toward the apartment. After five or six minutes, the car arrived at the parking space below the apartment. During this time, Jossi leaned against the back seat. It was rather unbearable. Her skin had turned a little red, and her face was flushed red as well. It was as if she had indeed been heated up. Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows and carried joesse gently in his arms before walking into the apartment. Fortunately, the apartment was equipped with voice-controlled lights, so there was no need to turn on the lights. Soon, they reached their floor and entered the room. Zheng Zeyi gently ced joesse on the bed and covered her with the nket. Just as he was about to get some cold water to help her wipe her face, Joes suddenly held Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and sat up. ¡°Don¡¯t go. ¡± Her voice was light, but it was like a feather that tugged at one¡¯s heartstrings. Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Qiao si with a smile in his eyes. Qiao Si was extremely hot. She stood up and leaned against Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back to give herself a cool feeling. ¡°I¡¯m very hot, please help me. ¡± The strange feeling in her body had already reached an unbearable level. Joes had no idea what kind of drug had been used on the ss of juice. Even if she could endure it a little, she probably wouldn¡¯t be like this now. Zheng Zeyi patted joesse¡¯s head and asked,¡±¡±Are you sure? There¡¯s no room for regret after you¡¯ve confirmed it. ¡± Joes blinked her eyes and nodded.¡±Yes, I¡¯m sure.¡± Zheng Zeyi carefully observed her beautiful face and saw that she was having a hard time suppressing her expression. He also understood how upset she was. Chuckling, he gently ced Joes on the bed. ¡°Alright ...¡± A momentter, there was a rustling sound in the room, as well as a low groan and a deep breathing sound. Joes was like a feather without any support, floating in the air, rising higher and higher without stopping. It was a night of spring. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day, the sunlight shone through the ss window into the room and onto a white bed. The piercing sunlight caused joesse to reach out to cover her eyes. She frowned and opened her eyes after a while. The familiar ceiling entered his eyes, and there was no change. Joesse¡¯s body ached a little. She pursed her lips, feeling a little strange. Didn¡¯t she go to qu Ling¡¯s banquet with Zheng Zeyi yesterday? Why did he suddenlye back? Furthermore, her memories of what happened after that were fragmented, and Joes could not piece them together. She only came back to her senses after a long time. ¡°Zheng Zeyi ...¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes were slightly dazed as she muttered this name. In the next moment, she could not control herself. She turned around and saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face magnified several times. Most importantly, Zheng ze had already woken up early in the morning and was looking at her with a half-smile! ¡°You¡¯re awake? are you calling me?¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. His eyes were deep like a deep pool of water that could suck people in. Even Joes was stunned for a while before she regained her senses. She furrowed her brows, and a faint ¡°¡± character appeared between her brows. She said with slight anger,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, was it youst night?¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Zheng Zeyiughed and raised his eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s me. ¡± Jossi had already pretty much recalled what had happenedst night. Li Cheng had almost gotten his hands on her because she had drunk the problematic fruit juice. If it was not for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s timely arrival, something big would have happened yesterday. However, after leaving the banquet hall, joesse¡¯s memory had be a little blurry. She could only remember some fragmented scenes, such as ... Recalling what had happened yesterday, Joes¡¯s face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯re taking advantage of me when I¡¯m down. You¡¯re too much!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he retorted,¡±¡±Don¡¯t push the me to me. I brought you back to your room yesterday and was about to leave, but you held me back and didn¡¯t let me go.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right? It¡¯s me?¡± Joes pointed at herself in disbelief. She wrapped herself in the nket and sat up, leaning against the soft pillow behind her. She did not refute Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words immediately because she seemed to have a vague impression of what he had said. Chapter 122

Chapter 122: A long one-week holiday

¡°That¡¯s right. You held my hand and didn¡¯t let me go. You wanted me to help you. ¡± Zheng Zeyi simply said everything and pushed away all his responsibilities. Joes red at him, feeling a little embarrassed and resentful. The slight blush on her face gradually faded. After a long time, she finally said,¡±¡±You¡¯re not that noble. Forget it ... Let¡¯s just forget about what happened yesterday. Don¡¯t mention it.¡± After saying that, joesse was about to get up and put on her clothes. However, she noticed that there was someone else beside her, so she quickly stopped her actions. She had no intention of ming Zheng Zeyi, she was just a little dazed. After all, it was Li Cheng who had drugged them yesterday. Yang Yue Yue might have been involved as well, and it had nothing to do with Zheng Zeyi. Joes thought of her own actions and wished she could go back to the day before and give herself two tight ps. She actually did something that would damage her reputation. It really didn¡¯t suit her style. She would remember Li Cheng and Yang Yue Yue! ¡°You mean you don¡¯t mind?¡± Zheng Zeyi was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down and asked with a smile. Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly recalled something and quickly said,¡±¡±Can you go out first and let me change my clothes?¡± A man and a woman alone, and most importantly, they were naked under the nket. Just thinking about it made her feel a little ambiguous. ...... ¡°Alright,¡± he said. To everyone¡¯s surprise, Zheng Zeyi agreed so quickly. He put on some clothes and left the room. However, there was a deeper meaning in his eyes. Joes did not expect him to be so straightforward and only reacted after a long time. After the door was closed, a cool breeze blew in through the window, making one¡¯s mind clear. Jossi shook her head and calmed down a little. She looked at the tightly shut door and the messy bed with aplicated expression. She couldn¡¯t help but close her eyes and sigh.¡±How did this happen ...¡± The first time could be said to be a coincidence, but with this second time, it was getting more and more embarrassing. Joesse slowly heaved a sigh of relief. After changing her clothes, she walked out of the room and saw that Zheng Zeyi had also changed into a neat set of casual clothes. At this moment, he was leaning on the sofa with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Now, let¡¯s talk about what happened yesterday.¡± Joes said as she walked to the sofa, pretending to be calm. A shadow covered Zheng Zeyi¡¯s chin. He raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±Go on, I¡¯m listening.¡± His tone was extremely calm. Hearing that, Joes pursed her lips and smiled, looking rather awkward. If she had known earlier, she would not have followed Zheng ze to that so-called banquet and ended up in this situation. ¡°What happened yesterday ... It¡¯s not your fault,¡± joesse said after some thought.¡±Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s just pretend that nothing happened?¡± She said in a negotiating tone, but then she felt a little helpless. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible.¡± Upon hearing this, a look of surprise shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. She raised her head and stared at the man in front of her.¡±What do you mean?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were deep as he opened his thin lips and said,¡±¡±I said no, things have alreadye to this ...¡± At this point, he paused and continued,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t we go from a fake fianc¨¦ and fianc¨¦e to a real one? no matter what, I have to take responsibility.¡± After he finished speaking, the smile on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face deepened, attracting everyone¡¯s attention like the starry sky. In the huge apartment, the atmosphere suddenly became silent. Only the two people¡¯s eyes met in the air. Joes was stunned for a moment, her gaze extremelyplicated. She could not believe what she had just heard. Then, she said with some difficulty,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, are you serious? Other than this, we don¡¯t have any other interactions. ¡± If Joes had not gone to that bar to drown her sorrows, the two of them would not have known each other. Zheng ze stood up. His tall figure shrouded Joes in his shadow, but he seemed to be slightly at ease. A maic voice sounded above her head,¡±try it?¡± If you don¡¯t try, how do you know it won¡¯t work?¡± This sentence seemed to have a magical power, causing Joris to sink into it. That¡¯s right ... If he didn¡¯t try, how would he know it wouldn¡¯t work? Joes, who was lost in her thoughts, snapped back to her senses and suddenly realized what she had just thought of. Her face immediately flushed red. She took a few steps back to put some distance between them. ¡°Zheng ... Zheng Zeyi, it¡¯s impossible between the two of us. Stop joking. A fake is a fake.¡± As if she was talking to herself, Joes¡¯s heart started to beat faster uncontrobly, as if there was a little deer running around inside. If it was not for the fact that the wind was rather loud, she was worried that Zheng ze would hear the sound of her heart beating. A devilish smile appeared on Zheng ze¡¯s face when he heard that. He bent over and whispered into joesse¡¯s ear,¡±¡±I¡¯ll listen to you, any time is fine. ¡± The hot air sprayed on his earlobe, as if a feather was scratching it, making his heart itch. Joes was a little flustered. She swallowed her saliva, and her gaze changed slightly before she slowly calmed down. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible. Let¡¯s forget it.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, joesse turned around and went back to her room to grab her bag. She then left the apartment at the speed of a jog. Zheng ze¡¯s well-defined hand picked up the teacup on the table. He took a sip of the hot tea and chuckled. Looking at the back view of Joes running away in a hurry, his mood became a little better. Sooner orter, she would be willing. ¡­¡­¡­ After leaving the apartment, Joes leaned against the wall beside the door and took a deep breath. The sky outside was bright and the air was fresh, unlike in the apartment where he felt like he was on fire. Joes tidied her clothes and looked at the time on her phone. It was half past seven in the morning. Fortunately ... She could still make it for work. She thought she would bete. After casually eating a few buns at a roadside stall, joesse took the bus to thepany. After a few days in Wu city, thepany didn¡¯t change much. Everyone still stuck to their posts, and the atmosphere was excellent. Jossi went to her office seat but realized that Lin ya, who was next door, was not there. Her seat was empty. Did he take leave? She was a little confused. Seeing the female colleague who seemed to have arrived early, she couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Xiao Qin, did Lin ya note today?¡± Hearing this, the female colleague turned her head and looked at Lin ya¡¯s seat for a few seconds before saying,¡±¡±You don¡¯t know? Lin ya asked for a week¡¯s leave. ¡± ¡°A long one-week vacation?¡± Joes furrowed her brows tightly. She was now certain that something had happened to Lin ya¡¯s family. Otherwise, with Lin ya¡¯s personality, she wouldn¡¯t have taken such a long leave. Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Lin ya is abnormal

And ... He didn¡¯t tell her. ¡°I know, thank you.¡± Joes forced out a smile and thanked him. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡±the female colleague shook her head. There was only the sound of typing in the office, and it was much quieter than usual. Joes found an appropriate time to go to the toilet and used this opportunity to send Lin ya a few text messages. They all asked about Lin ya¡¯s recent situation and the reason for her leave. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, joesse still did not receive a reply from Lin ya. Helpless, he could only give up and go back to work for the time being. Today¡¯s work could be considered easy. Due to the sess of the filming of the vige of Jade, it also caused a great sensation on the inte. Manyizens who were chasing after celebrities were paying attention to this entertainment program, which led to many people knowing about Shiyupany. At the very least, it would be meaningful to invite Jossi and the rest to participate in the show. On Qiao si SI¡¯s web page was the vige of Jade¡¯s Weibo. There was a short video that happened to be on it. It was a video of her taking the lead to pick vegetables in the field. Theizens ¡®attitude was also considered peaceful and they did not reject the arrival of the neers. After browsing the web for a while, joesse went back to work. She was designing a jewelry draft on herputer, which was also her work for the day. ...... Draw a draft ording to the theme given by thepany. If it was good, it could be produced and distributed to the market. Just as she was focused on her draft, her phone screen suddenly lit up. ¡°Is it Lin ya ...¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she quickly picked up her phone. When she saw who had sent the message, she was disappointed. It was not a reply from Lin ya, but a message from Zheng Zeyi. This guy hadpletely changed his image. He had even directly called her ¡°baby¡± in his text message. Looking at the greeting message, the corner of Jossi¡¯s eyes twitched. She quickly typed the word ¡°busy¡± and threw her phone aside, not looking at it again. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. At the Zheng¡¯s group. Zheng ze was in the huge office. His phone was ced on the table. He could not help but smile when he saw the message that lit up. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± There was a knock on the door. Zheng Zeyi kept his phone and regained his indifferent expression. He said indifferently,¡±¡±Come in.¡± It was assistant li who pushed the door open and entered. At this moment, he was holding a document in his hand. It was the information rted to the entertainment program this time. Assistant Li¡¯s face was respectful as he ced the documents on the desk. He lowered his head slightly and said,¡±¡±President, this is the information about the show. It¡¯s an entertainmentpany under Hengyuan.¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes as he picked up the document and flipped through two pages. He had a conclusion in his heart. Not bad, it was indeed Hengyuan¡¯s investment. He didn¡¯t expect it to be such a big move. They even cooperated with Shiyu. He recalled the ride that Joes had taken a few days ago, and the smile in his eyes deepened, his emotions unclear. After a while, Zheng ze tapped his finger on the table and chuckled.¡±¡±Since we¡¯re old friends, we should help out as well.¡± ¡°President, you mean ...¡± Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze.¡±Pass down the order. Use an anonymous method to increase the promotion efforts. Just promote this program. Of course ... Only the first three episodes are needed. Don¡¯t bother about theter episodes.¡± From the start of filming until now, the show always needed a transition period. Although it was a live broadcast at the beginning, theizens were still looking forward to the show after it was done with post-production. This was also the best time to promote it. Assistant li was a little confused and asked,¡±¡±President, are you going to help Hengyuan invest and promote the show?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said without hesitation. The image of Joes¡¯s beautiful figure appeared in his mind and he smiled. Other than promoting it, he naturally had to do some other things. However, the time was not right yet, so he did not need to be too concerned. As for his boss¡¯s words, even if assistant li didn¡¯t understand what he was going to do, he wouldn¡¯t refute it. ¡°I understand, President.¡± Assistant li nodded, turned around, and left the president¡¯s office to pass down the order. At this moment, Qiao si had no idea what Zheng Zeyi had done for her, nor did she know that he was the reason why the show was so popr. Lin ya finally replied when it was almost time to get off work. Joes tidied up the things on the table, then looked at the message. After reading the content, she frowned. Lin ya¡¯s reply was very ordinary. She said that something had happened at home and she couldn¡¯t free herself up, so she applied for a one-week long leave from thepany. Since he had something he couldn¡¯t tell her, she wouldn¡¯t hold on to it. Joes pondered for two seconds before typing a few lines to reply to Lin ya. The general idea was that if Lin ya needed any help, she could contact her at any time. After all, joesse was now considered a richdy with a worth of more than 200000 dors. If it was in the past, she would have had to work hard for a few more years. He didn¡¯t expect such a huge change to happen in just a few months. After work, Jossi returned to the apartment with her things. Zheng Zeyi was not in the apartment. She made a casual dinner and sat on the living room floor. The design drafts were all over the table. They were all design drafts rted to the theme this time, but she was not satisfied with any of them. Rubbing the space between her brows, joesse picked up the pen and smoothly wrote on a new design draft. The lines were smooth, and one could tell at a nce that she had good skills. It was also at this time that the apartment door was suddenly opened. Her footsteps were light, and her voice was extremely soft. Even without turning her head, Joes knew who was behind her. She could not think of anyone else other than Zheng Zeyi. As expected, the footsteps stopped behind her, followed by a deep voice.¡±¡±Drawing a draft?¡± Joesse¡¯s paintbrush paused and she nodded slightly, saying,¡±¡±Um ... I don¡¯t have a clue about the theme that thepany requested.¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said disapprovingly. Upon hearing this, the corners of Jossi¡¯s mouth twitched, and she tightened her grip on her paintbrush. It was those familiar words again. Zheng Zeyi had a few documents in his hand and ced them in a drawer. They should be the documents that needed to be handled in thepany. Upon seeing this, joesse suddenly thought of something and turned on the television. He randomly chose a channel, and as expected, it was a TV series that Lin Xiu ¡®er was in. Recently, with the packaging of the entertainmentpany, Lin Xiu ¡®er could be said to be doing very well in the entertainment industry. The previous negative public opinion had also been suppressed, and almost no one mentioned it on the inte. Even if they did, thepany¡¯s public rtions would be excellent. Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Chapter 124-why are you being so formal?

The sound of the TV attracted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attention. He nced at the TV screen indifferently. Even when he saw Lin Xiu ¡®er, his eyes did not have the slightest change. Qiao si stared at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s facial expression. She was slightly surprised to see that he did not have any reaction. Logically speaking, if Lin Xiu ¡®er was really his ex-girlfriend, she would always be a little surprised when she saw someone familiar. However, Zheng Zeyi did not. It was as if he was looking at aplete stranger. However, after looking at the television screen, Zheng Zeyi nced at joesse and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t look at things that aren¡¯t nutritious. It¡¯s not good for the brain.¡± After saying that, Joes pouted and turned off the television. Just as Zheng Zeyi was about to enter the room, Jossi asked,¡±¡±Do you know the woman on the TV?¡± He stopped in his tracks and turned around. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and no emotions could be seen. Without waiting for Qiao sisi to continue asking, Zheng Zeyi said,¡±¡±You want to ask if she¡¯s my ex-girlfriend?¡± ¡°Smart! That¡¯s what I wanted to ask. ¡± Joes snapped her fingers and praised him. She then ced her brush on the table and set the design drafts aside. With one hand under her chin, she asked with a smile,¡±¡±I don¡¯t have any other meaning. I just wanted to ask you, why did you ... Break up with her?¡± As for Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s personality, after a period of filming in the same industry, she could be considered to have some understanding. ...... To the outside world, she was just a White Lotus in full bloom. In front of the camera, she always appeared weak and pitiful, but in reality, she was more vicious than anyone else. She did not even hesitate when she drugged joesse. Zheng Zeyi was probably also young and frivolous, so he was deceived by Lin Xiu ¡®er. Qiao SI¡¯s thoughts were scattered. By the time she came back to her senses, Zheng Zeyi was already standing in front of her with a mysterious smile on his face. ¡°I¡¯ll satisfy you,¡± After saying this, Zheng Zeyi took out his phone, clicked on a random website, and passed the phone to Qiao si. Then, he turned around and left. He returned to the study room and started to deal with the pile of documents. Only joesse could not react in time as she stared at the phone in front of her. The phone¡¯s screen stopped on a web page. It looked like a post from a long time ago, but there were not many views. The headline was very simple: shocking! The private life of the well-known female star, Lin Xiu ¡®er! ¡°This ... This is so strange.¡± Joes mumbled softly as she swiped her finger across the page and slowly read the contents. After reading it, she couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. She looked at the closed door of the study, her eyes full of surprise. He did not expect that Lin Xiu ¡®er actually did this kind of thing before. The content of the post was about the time when Zheng Zeyi and Lin Xiu ¡®er were together. The two of them were actually just in name. Zheng Zeyi definitely did not like Lin Xiu¡¯ er that much. During that period, Lin Xiu ¡®er could be said to be at the peak of her career in the entertainment industry, and she was popr all over the country. However, after staying in a high position for a long time, Lin Xiu ¡®er began to stir up trouble. She actually found a man outside behind Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back? When she saw this, Joes had a strange expression. She finally understood why Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t dare to mention Zheng Zeyi during this period of silence. If she angered this man, she would probably lose her reputation. Zheng Zeyi was not a kind person. Since Lin Xiu ¡®er could even do such a thing, then she had to be prepared to fall from a high ce. However, she didn¡¯t know why she had suddenly be popr again recently. Perhaps she had hooked up with some Big Shot. Joes switched off her phone and ced it on the table. He looked at where Zheng Zeyi was with aplicated expression and sighed. He should not have asked about this. He didn¡¯t expect this matter to be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s scar. Was there something wrong with Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s brain ... She really couldn¡¯t understand why he would let go of such a rich Bachelor. Joes blinked her eyes and suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her mind. She picked up her brush and continued to design the draft. As for Zheng Zeyi, who was in the study room, he had long stopped caring about this matter. It was about midnight, and the clock on the wall showed that it was already nineo¡¯ clock. The sky outside the window hadpletely darkened. The floor of the huge living room was filled with design drafts. After a night, joesse had finallye up with a satisfactory draft. She yawned, tidied up the messy living room, and went back to her room with her manuscript. As she was too tired, Joes fell asleep almost immediately after she touched the bed. After she fell asleep, the door to the study suddenly opened. Zheng Zeyi returned to the living room and picked up his phone. He could not help but smile when he saw the draft in the rubbish bin. Lin Xiu ¡®er ... He didn¡¯t care at all. The night passed by quickly, and Joes slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, she got up to close the window. A cold wind blew in, making her shiver. Joes rubbed her eyes. After closing the window, she took off her clothes and picked out a sweater and a down jacket. The weather in January seemed to be even colder. Although it did not snow in city h, the temperature had already reached a few degrees below zero. If he didn¡¯t change into thicker clothes, his hands and feet would probably be frozen cold when he walked outside. Qiao si had just changed into the sweater when she felt that something was amiss. She turned around and saw Zheng Zeyi leaning against the door, looking at her with a smile. ¡°Zheng Zeyi? How did you get in?¡± Joes lowered her head and looked at herself. Fortunately, she had already changed into her sweater and there was no risk of being peeped at. She took two steps back and looked at Zheng Zeyi warily. Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he heard that. His eyes were nonchnt as he said,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t want toe in, you didn¡¯t close the door.¡± ¡°I ...¡± Just as she said the word ¡°me,¡± Joes blinked. After she packed up the design draftsst night, she went straight to bed after returning to her room. It seemed like she really did not care about whether there was anything rted to the door. ¡°Even if that¡¯s the case,¡± Joes said after some thought,¡±I¡¯m changing my clothes. You can¡¯t juste in without telling me.¡± If she had not changed quickly, Zheng Zeyi would have seen everything. Although the two of them did do that kind of thing, most of it was in a state of unconsciousness. No, it was Joes unconscious state! Zheng Zeyiughed and spread his hands. He said helplessly,¡±¡±We¡¯re already fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e, there¡¯s no need to be so formal. ¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Joes rolled her eyes. ¡­¡­¡­ After such an incident, Joes ¡®good mood from the morning waspletely ruined. Chapter 125

Chapter 125: I can tell, a little hypocritical

In the kitchen, she made two fried eggs, two hot sses of milk, and toast. That was the simple breakfast for the day. Ignoring Zheng Zeyi, who was sitting on the sofa, joesse quickly finished her breakfast. She picked up her bag and prepared to leave the apartment. Today was the day she had to submit her manuscript. If the review was done quickly, the results might be out within two days. However, it still depended on thepany. After all, thepany had hired many designers. She rushed to thepany and did not have many design drafts to submit yet. Joes handed in her own as well. This time, it was different from the designer Competition. It was the work content required by thepany. Designers would also get a share of the profits. This was Shiyu¡¯s philosophy. Joes heaved a sigh of relief and returned to her office. She nced at the empty seat beside her. Lin ya had note to work for two days. She was going to take a week off. She didn¡¯t know what had happened at home to make her so anxious. At this thought, joesse nced at her phone. Lin ya had yet to reply to her message from yesterday. She didn¡¯t think much of it, and after watering the dying nt on Lin ya¡¯s seat, she started working. Immersed in his work, time passed by very quickly. ...... Joes¡¯s fingers typed quickly on the keyboard. After a long while, she reached out and rubbed her sore shoulders. It was already lunch break, and many people in the office had gone to the cafeteria. Joesse was prepared to go as well, but she still went to the corridor to call Lin ya. She was still a little worried. ¡°Du, du, du, du.¡± The phone rang. It rang for about a minute before someone finally answered. Seeing that the call was connected, joesse heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said,¡±¡±Lin ya, what happened over there? do you need any help?¡± Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before a familiar voice sounded.¡±¡±Sisi?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me. Are you okay?¡± Joes asked worriedly. She could tell that Lin ya¡¯s voice was a little Haggard, as if she had not rested for many days. Lin ya smiled weakly.¡±I¡¯m fine. I just have some things to deal with at home. I¡¯ll be back to thepany soon. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± We¡¯re all adults, how can we not handle it?¡± After saying that, joesse did not ask further and nodded slightly,¡±¡±Then take care of yourself. If you need any help, you can look for me at any time.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The two of them didn¡¯t talk much and hung up the phone. Joes kept her phone and went to the canteen to have her meal before starting her next round of work. At this moment, the Secretary came into the office with a few design drafts in her hand. She looked at the signatures and said,¡±¡±Qiao sisi, Wang Li, Xu Yun ... The few of you, stand up.¡± Although the crowd was a little confused, everyone who was called stood up, including joesse. The Secretary smiled and said,¡±¡±From now on, you¡¯ll be thepany¡¯s official designers. If thepany receives a job and can assign you, your pay will be much better.¡± ¡°Hiss ...¡± A series of exmations sounded in the office. In fact, most of the people in the office, with the exception of a few, were still in the internship stage. Xiang Jinyu had only taken a liking to Qiao sisi because she had won first ce in the designer Competition and had outstanding abilities. Now that they were considered as thepany¡¯s official jewelry designers, they could ept orders or other jobs, which was many times more convenient than before. The Secretary left the office after she mentioned the matter of bing a permanent employee. After she left, the office was filled with chattering and discussions. Even though Joes was a little surprised, she quickly calmed down. He continued with his work. Since he had already be an official designer, he didn¡¯t have to think about anything else. In the next few days, thepany was as calm as ever. Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s interaction had also developed a little ambiguity, but she usually avoided it. On this day, Qiao sisi came to thepany as usual and found that Lin ya, who had taken a week¡¯s leave, was finally back. She was leaning on her desk. He looked a little Haggard, especially the dark circles under his eyes. One look and you could tell that he didn¡¯t rest well. When she saw Jossi, she said with a bitter face,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯m back. I¡¯ve been so tired these past few days.¡± Joes smiled helplessly and ced a cup of warm milk tea in front of Lin ya,¡±¡±Since the matter has been resolved, why don¡¯t you rest at home for a few more days?¡± Lin ya slowly sighed and said regretfully,¡±¡±I can¡¯t take a break. A week¡¯s leave is more than enough. If I take more, my sry won¡¯t be enough.¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t the reward for the festival Group already been transferred to our ount?¡± Joes asked, slightly puzzled. A few days after they finished filming, she received a transfer of 100000 Yuan from the festival team. Could it be that even this sum of money couldn¡¯t solve Lin ya¡¯s family¡¯s problem? Lin ya seemed to know what joesse was thinking, and she said softly,¡±¡±My brother is a gambler. He owes a huge debt. My 100000 Yuan was only enough to make up for it.¡± Gambler? Upon hearing those two words, Joes felt as if she had been through the same thing. Her home ... No, it was no longer her home. It was Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s home. For the sake of money, he had even sold joss¨¦ to a sleazy middle-aged man. He might as well not have this bloodline bond! At the thought of this, Joes reminded,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, it¡¯s okay to help asionally, but you can¡¯t risk your future. It¡¯s your own.¡± She didn¡¯t want her friend to experience the lesson she had learned through blood and tears. ¡°I understand, sisi.¡± Lin ya nodded. After chatting for a while, the two of them began to busy themselves with the work at hand. During lunch break, Joes and Lin ya went to the cafeteria together and picked a spot to eat. After taking a bite of her food, Qiao si suddenly recalled something she had heard yesterday and told Lin ya about it as if it was gossip. ¡°Do you still remember that female artiste, Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was in the same group as me when we went to the festival Group?¡± Joes asked as she pushed at the food in her bowl. Naturally, Lin ya had an impression of it. She quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±I can tell. He¡¯s a little hypocritical.¡± In fact, most of the people in the entertainment industry still knew about Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s news. However, she had a Big Boss behind her, so no one dared to touch her. At most, they would reduce their contact with each other. There was no framing or ndering. Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Give me the itemter

Joesse pondered for a moment and told Lin ya everything she had heard. Yesterday afternoon, she heard two colleagues talking about it. Because thend of Jade program had just been produced and published on the inte, it had caused quite a stir. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s fan club was still very powerful, and she had also be one of the most popr people in the festival Group. In the post-show interview, the reporter asked her what she thought about the jewelry designer from Shiyupany. At that time, Lin Xiu ¡®erughed and said that joesse had an extremely good personality. If not for her poor background, she might have been in a higher position. Upon hearing this, joesse immediately sensed that something was amiss, but she did not know what Lin Xiu ¡®er was going to do. In the interview, she emphasized that her family background was not good and hinted that the rtionship between the two was not bad. Jossi would not believe that she did not have any thoughts about it. Sisi, so that¡¯s what you¡¯re talking about. I heard about it this morning too.¡± Lin ya nodded. After a short pause, she continued,¡±I also heard that Lin Xiu ¡®er and her friend have taken a fancy to Jinyu¡¯s design ability. They¡¯re preparing to let him design a set of jewelry.¡± A look of shock appeared on Joes¡¯s face,¡±¡±There¡¯s such a thing?¡± She hadn¡¯t heard about this yet, but it seemed like she wasn¡¯t as well-informed as Lin ya. Although she didn¡¯t know what Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted to do, she didn¡¯t do anything substantial to Joes at the moment, so she couldn¡¯t be bothered with it. The two of them chatted as they finished the food in their bowls. ...... At this moment, Joes had yet to realize that there was a huge conspiracy heading her way. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side, in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s Vi. ¡°Yang Yue Yue, there¡¯s no way for Qiao si si to make aeback this time.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er said with a smile, and her eyes flickered with a resentful light. Yang Yue Yue felt the same way. Both of them hated Joes to the core. Yang Yue Yue seemed to have thought of something and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll get someone to get rid of that set of jewelry. Don¡¯t expose yourself. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen. ¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er was unconcerned, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. Their n was proceeding as usual, and everything was going smoothly. A few dayster. Joes was called to the office by the Secretary and she walked quickly. ¡°Squeak ...¡± When he pushed open the office door, he saw his Secretary sitting in front of his desk. There were a lot of manuscripts piled up on the desk. She walked into the office and asked with a puzzled look,¡±¡±May I know why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± The Secretary looked up and stood up.¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re finally here. I have something to do today, can you help me keep an eye on this set of jewelry?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes¡¯s gaze fell on the design drafts on the table. Although they hadn¡¯t finished the final product yet, based on Shiyu¡¯s attitude and ideas, the general framework should have been constructed already. Next, he just had to touch up the design draft and he could start work. Is this the jewelry Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted?¡± Joes suddenly recalled what Lin ya had told her and thought of this. The Secretary nodded.¡±That¡¯s right. It¡¯s more or less done. You just need to touch it up.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes agreed. Although it was his rival Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s item, she was now a jewelry designer, so she naturally had to make it to his satisfaction. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of this profession? After saying that, the Secretary quickly left the office. Joes was left alone. She walked to the desk, picked up her brush with practiced movements, and began to observe the design draft of the jewelry. It was a set of ruby jewelry, which included earrings, nes, and bracelets. Thebination of the three pieces of jewelry was seamless. Each piece could be called the best of the best, and the design was unique. Picking up her brush, Joes¡¯s expression turned slightly serious. She began to Polish the design manuscript and filled in the remaining ws. The manuscript was consideredplete. Her wrist was slightly sore. Joes rubbed it gently and nced at the sky outside the window. It should be almost time to get off work. Forget it, I¡¯ll just treat it as overtime. ¡°Phew, I can finally hand it in.¡± Joes stretchedzily and ced the design drafts into a document bag. Then, she passed it to thepany¡¯s production department. A beautiful woman in her twenties took the design drafts and said,¡±¡±Colleague, it¡¯ll be done in an hour. Please bring it to the Secretary.¡± ¡°She¡¯s not in the office. ¡± Joes furrowed her brows. Hearing this, the woman pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±Then, my colleague, you should keep it for a while. There can¡¯t be any mistakes with this thing.¡± Joes lowered her eyes, deep in thought. After all, this was something that the customer had specifically asked for. If anything went wrong, it would definitely be difficult to bear. ¡°Colleagues?¡± Seeing that Joes did not reply for a long time, the woman asked again in confusion. Joris returned to her senses and nodded her head slightly, saying,¡±¡±Okay, give me the thingster. I¡¯ll put them in the secretary¡¯s office.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± the woman said with a smile. As it would take some time, Joes sat outside and waited. The sky had already darkened. It was already evening. Joes heard the sound of the door opening. She stood up and looked over. Indeed, the woman had taken out an exquisite box. ¡°Colleague, this is the set of ruby jewelry that someone ordered. Sorry to trouble you.¡± The woman said with a smile as she handed the box to joesse. ¡°It¡¯s fine, you¡¯re wee. ¡± After she finished speaking, Jossi took the box and returned to the secretary¡¯s office. She ced it in the cab under the desk andid out a few documents before she finally felt at ease. No matter what, it was better to be more cautious. Fortunately, most of the people in thepany had already left. After putting the box away, Jossi left thepany. Other than a few floors with lights still on and some employees working overtime, the lights on the other floors had long gone out and it was dark. Qiao si left Jin Yupany. Just as she was about to leave, she turned around for some reason, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. He couldn¡¯t tell how weird it was. After thinking for a while, joesse decided to send a text message to her Secretary. The gist of it was that she had already ced the finished ruby jewelry in her office, just under the desk drawer. After sending the message, Qiao si heaved a sigh of relief. She left Jin Yu in a rxed manner and walked towards the apartment. The apartment was brightly lit. Zheng Zeyi was handling the documents in his hands with a serious expression. He stood tall and straight, and even his back view was enough to make people fall into a trance. Chapter 127

Chapter 127: You¡¯re finally here

This was the scene that Joes saw when she returned to the apartment. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zheng ze turned around and nced at the exhausted-looking joesse. He said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going on a business trip tomorrow. It¡¯ll take about two days.¡± ¡°Two days?¡± Joes was slightly stunned. Then, he scolded himself in his heart. Why did he look so surprised? it was his business that he was on a business trip. Those who did not know would have thought that their rtionship had taken a step further. In reality, after the incident that day, Joes had been hiding even more. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were smiling, and the corners of his mouth curved up.¡±Are you a little reluctant?¡± ¡°No, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Joes hurriedly retorted, making her look a little flustered. She nced at Zheng Zeyi and said,¡±¡±If it¡¯s a business trip ... You take care of yourself. I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± A voice suddenly rang out from behind her. Joes stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. As soon as she turned her head, a soft and thin lips pressed against her lips. It was slightly cold, and she could not react in time. Qiao SI¡¯s voice was swallowed. She widened her eyes in a daze as she looked at Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi pried open her mouth and deepened the kiss. It was affectionate and gentle. ...... ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Zheng Zeyi bent over slightly. His Starry Eyes could only see one person. Joes¡¯s heart beat faster and her face turned red. She could not help but say,¡±Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing?!¡± She lowered her head. If there was a hole in the ground, she would want to crawl into it. Zheng ze reached out and ruffled her hair.¡±¡±After all, I¡¯m going on a business trip for two days. You have to give me a parting gift.¡± ¡°You ...¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened, but she did not know what to say. She pursed her lips and returned to her room. She felt that if she had to face Zheng Zeyi all day, she might die of anger. After closing the door, joesse peeked through the tiny gap and saw Zheng Zeyi sitting down and tidying up his documents. She heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, Joes really did not react to the kiss just now. At that moment, it was as if her heart was about to stop beating. The world lost its color, and Zheng Zeyi was the only person she could see. Her face was starting to heat up again. Joes calmed herself down, patted her cheeks, and took a deep breath. ¡°I don¡¯t care anymore, I don¡¯t care anymore. Let¡¯s just leave it at that.¡± Since it had already happened, joesse decided to give up and was toozy to care about it. She took her clothes and went to take a bath. As for Zheng Zeyi, who was in the living room, she would just pretend that she did not see him. Joes quickly finished her bath and returned to her room. Sheid on her bed and buried herself in the nket. She fell asleep very quickly and it was a peaceful night. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. When Qiao sisi woke up, Zheng Zeyi had already left the apartment. She nced at the empty apartment, but she didn¡¯t feel anything special. After all, he was often not in the apartment. After breakfast, joesse rushed to the office. It was rush hour in the morning, so even the bus was a little congested. It took them a long time to reach thepany. Joes hurriedly got off the bus and ran towards thepany. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t time yet, so he wasn¡¯tte. ¡°Morning.¡± Joesse entered the office and saw a few familiar colleagues walking towards her. She raised her hand and greeted them. When the few colleagues saw her, their expressions suddenly became extremely strange. They greeted her awkwardly,¡±¡±Morning.¡± After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, as if there was a ferocious beast behind him. Joes touched her own face in shock. Was there something on her face? She felt that the way her colleagues looked at her just now ... Was very strange. There seemed to be surprise and disdain. Even though she did not know what was going on, it was almost time for work. Joes did not probe further and returned to her office. In the end, she realized that it wasn¡¯t just the few colleagues who were acting weird. Even the colleagues in the same office were looking at her in the same way. When Jossi entered the office, Lin ya happened to be in an argument with a female colleague. ¡°I didn¡¯t say she stole it, why are you looking at me so excitedly?¡± A female colleague looked at Lin ya with an unfriendly expression. Lin yaughed in anger. She sneered and said,¡±do you think I¡¯m a fool?¡± You were the one who said sisi stole something in the office, and now you¡¯re denying it. ¡± At this point, the female colleague didn¡¯t know how to refute and just snorted. ¡°Anyway, the higher-ups have already said that if they find out that it¡¯s really her, they¡¯ll definitely punish her severely. Let¡¯s see who you¡¯re covering up for then!¡± The female colleague turned around after she finished speaking. The office was filled with chattering and the sound of discussion. As for Joes, she had also heard the entire farce. She frowned slightly. If she didn¡¯t mishear, Lin ya and that female colleague ... Were talking about her stealing? However, Joes had never stolen anything! Thinking about how the red packet setst night was jewelry, a sense of foreboding welled up in Joes ¡®heart. Could it be that there was a problem with the jewelry? She suppressed all her thoughts and walked into the office. As he walked, he attracted the attention of many colleagues. Even the sounds of discussion gradually died down. When the female colleague saw who it was, she sneered,¡±¡±Lin ya, the person involved is here. You should ask her yourself if she¡¯s done anything wrong.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore!¡± Lin ya red at the female colleague. When she saw Joes, she quickly walked to her side and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re finally here.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Joesse noticed that everyone in the office was looking at her weirdly. She slowed down and ced her bag on the desk. The female colleague took advantage of the opportunity and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know what you¡¯ve done?¡± There were many voices of agreement in the office, and everyone¡¯s ugly faces were revealed. Other than the female colleague who had spoken, the other colleagues were also a little unhappy with Joes. The reason was simple. She had been in the limelight too much recently. In the beginning, she had won the designer Competition and even participated in the filming of thend of Jade. Now, she had even be the official designer of Shiyu apartments. Although these colleagues didn¡¯t say it on the surface, they were actually full of jealousy. So much good luck, how could it all be concentrated on one person at the same time? They felt that this was very unfair. Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Don¡¯t say things that go against your conscience

Hence, now that there was a possibility of Joes being dragged down to heaven, these colleagues were all involved and were prepared to give a hand. One after another, the usations were thrown at her. Joes looked at her colleagues coldly, as if she was looking at strangers. She should have guessed it long ago. When the incident with Zeng Qing happened, they were the same. ¡°Shut up!¡± Joes shouted angrily, her voice rather imposing. Perhaps it was because she had been by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side for a long time, but over time, she had be more imposing. After she shouted, the office fell into a strange silence. Even the female colleague didn¡¯t continue to speak. Joes looked at Lin ya, her voice bing gentler.¡±¡±Little ya, what¡¯s going on?¡± Lin ya was the only one in the group who believed in her, and she naturally wouldn¡¯t let her down. In terms of friends, Qiao si si did not have many. Other than her best friend, Chen Anna, she only had a good rtionship with Lin ya. As for Wang Li, they were just ordinary friends for the time being. Lin ya¡¯s face was filled with indignation as she exined,¡±¡±It¡¯s that set of rubies. Everyone says you stole it!¡± Sure enough! After hearing the words ¡°Ruby jewelries¡±, Josse more or less understood. Yesterday, she already knew that it was a hot potato, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be a bomb that wanted to blow her up. ...... Joes lowered her head slightly as a cold glint shed in her eyes. There was only one person who could do this. After that, Lin ya exined everything to joesse in detail. Only then did she realize that so many things had happened in just one night. It turned out that after Qiao si left the Ruby jewelry in the secretary¡¯s officest night, the surveince cameras in Jin Yu¡¯spany were broken. However, the security guard downstairs imed that no one else had entered thepany except for those who had left after work. In the morning, when the Secretary received the text message and went to the office to look for the set of jewelry, she realized that it was not in the location that joesse had mentioned. He couldn¡¯t find it after searching the entire office. When the other colleagues found out about this matter, they made an issue out of it. They all said that Jossi was jealous of the set of rubies and secretly took the jewelry away. After listening to everything, Joes fell silent and narrowed her eyes. It was really ... A little strange. ¡°Jossi, what do you have to say? I¡¯ve asked my colleagues in the Department yesterday. You were thest person to take the jewelry away. It can¡¯t be anyone else.¡± The female colleague made a solemn vow. She raised her eyebrows and had an extremely arrogant look. Upon seeing this, Joes coldly said,¡±¡±Did you see me take the jewelry, or did you see me as thest one?¡± ¡°I ...¡± The female colleague opened her mouth, but nothing came out because she had not seen anything at all. She had only heard it from others. The next moment, her expression became a little fierce.¡±¡±What¡¯s the use of being unreasonable with me? thepany¡¯s upper management is taking this matter very seriously now. They¡¯ll probablye to find you soon.¡± ¡°That¡¯s none of your business,¡± Joes replied, not willing to be outdone. She really didn¡¯t care about people who hit her when she was down. She didn¡¯t touch the set of rubies. Lin ya, who was standing on the side, said worriedly,¡±¡±Sisi, what do we do?¡± Joesse assured her, then scanned the office and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll say it again. I¡¯m not the one who stole the jewelry. You don¡¯t have evidence, so don¡¯t spread rumors.¡± The office was silent, and no one responded to her. Joes did not mind. Just as she was about to continue speaking, the office door was pushed open. The person who walked in was her Secretary, who was wearing an ol suit. Her face was cold at the moment, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. ¡°Jossi,e with me.¡± The Secretary said with a hint of anger, then turned and left the office. ¡°Alright,¡± Joes nodded. Lin ya tugged at her sleeve worriedly, but she gave her a reassuring look and followed the Secretary out of the office. The people in the office were not fools. It was just that Joes had been in the limelight too many times, so they were a little dissatisfied. ¡°Lin ya, did you see that? The Secretary has already called her over. Isn¡¯t the truth obvious enough?¡± The female colleague snorted coldly as she watched Jessi¡¯s back view leave. Her eyes were filled with jealousy. Hearing this, Lin ya red at the female colleague.¡±¡±You¡¯re really good at bickering. Since the matter hasn¡¯te to a conclusion yet, you shouldn¡¯t jump to any conclusions. ¡± She was much tougher than usual. The female colleague sneered and nodded.¡±¡±Alright, then we¡¯ll wait and see what the results are.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Lin ya. You¡¯re here to defend joesse. If she really stole it, wouldn¡¯t that be a p in the face?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just asking for it. Let¡¯s see the results. ¡± Lin ya was furious at the crowd¡¯s chatter, but she knew that she couldn¡¯t argue with them. For those who did not want to face the truth, it would be useless no matter how they tried to exin. In any case, she believed that Joes definitely did not steal that set of rubies. At that thought, Lin ya didn¡¯t want to say anything more. She turned around and returned to her office seat. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Joes, who had already left, was unaware of the war of words in the office. She was following behind the Secretary, walking towards a guest room at the end of the corridor. After a while, the Secretary turned around and asked with a serious expression,¡±¡±Jossi, don¡¯t say anything that goes against your conscience when we get to the guest roomter.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Joes could not help but frown, feeling a little disgusted. Didn¡¯t the Secretary mean that she had stolen the jewelry and wanted her to tell the truth when she went to the guest roomter? Howughable. Jossi had not fallen to the point of stealing. Furthermore, her education would not allow her to do such a thing. The Secretary pouted and left, leaving a sentence behind.¡±¡±I¡¯m just reminding you. ¡± Pushing open the door to the guest room, Joes looked up and saw that there were quite a few people sitting in the huge room. She said,¡±¡±President Xiang, I¡¯m here.¡± Xiang Jinyu was also there, and his expression was very calm. When he saw her enter, he nodded slightly to greet her. Meanwhile, Lin Xiu ¡®er was sitting on the soft sofa, and she even brought her little assistant. After the Secretary sent Jossi to the guest room, she went to look for the female colleague who had given her the Ruby yesterday. ¡°Have a seat.¡± Xiang Jinyu said. Joes sat in the seat opposite Lin Xiu ¡®er and observed her expression at the same time. Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Is there anything that can prove my innocence?

But this time, Lin Xiu ¡®er concealed it very well. Not a trace of w could be seen on her face, and there was even a faint heartache. ¡°Jossi, the set of rubies that you gave to the Secretary yesterday was checked this morning and it¡¯s gone.¡± Xiang Jinyu said, his voice calm. As expected ... Joes had already known about this before she came, so she was not too surprised. On the other hand, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes flickered with disbelief, and she looked at her with disappointment. After a long while, Lin Xiu ¡®er said,¡±Joes, I thought that we were filming the same show. We got along quite well. We could be considered friends.¡± I didn¡¯t expect you to do something like this. I¡¯m so disappointed. ¡± Every word and sentence was directed at Jossi, as if the truth had already been proven and her identity as a thief had been confirmed. Joes sighed helplessly. She fixed her eyes on Lin Xiu ¡®er and said,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t steal your Ruby, so don¡¯t rush to convict me.¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s fingers tapped on the table.¡±¡±Please wait a moment, miss Lin. I need to know what happened.¡± Since she had already said so, Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t say anything more. She revealed a stiff smile and nodded.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll listen to director Xiang.¡± ¡°Jossi, tell me exactly what happened yesterday.¡± Xiang Jinyu said. Joesse did not retort. Instead, she began to exin what had happenedst night. ...... Her description was also very detailed. From the time the female colleague asked her to wait until she left Shiyupany, she did not miss a single detail. ¡°That¡¯s how it is. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the reception room was opened, and the Secretary and the female colleague walked in. It was obvious that Xiang Jinyu took this matter very seriously. After all, if his own employees were to be known as thieves, it would be bad for thepany¡¯s image. Moreover, Lin Xiu ¡®er was a public figure. If she just casually said a few words, then the fame that Shiyupany had built up through this show would be useless. ¡°President Xiang.¡± The female colleague nodded at Xiang Jinyu. She and her Secretary also sat down. At this time, all the people rted to the Ruby jewelry hade to the guest room. Xiang Jinyu frowned.¡±I understand what Qiao sisi said. Li Yu, did you give her the set of jewelryst night after work?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, President Xiang. Joesse said that the Secretary isn¡¯t in the office. She¡¯s bringing the things over.¡± The female colleague nodded. That was indeed the casest night. If the Secretary had not left, this probably would not have happened. After hearing her female colleague¡¯s words, Joes was about to exin when she was suddenly interrupted. The Secretary said coldly,¡¯Li Yu, you¡¯re saying ... Joesse said that I had something to do? But I was in the office all day yesterday. I just gave her the sketch to Polish it, but I didn¡¯t expect her to twist the truth like this. ¡± With that, everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Joes. Jossi looked at the Secretary in disbelief. She did not expect this person to be able to distort the truth like this. At this moment, she understood everything. It was such a coincidence that the surveince cameras in Jin Yu¡¯spany broke. In addition, the Secretary had something on at that time yesterday and even made Qiao si si stay in her office for the entire afternoon. He really couldn¡¯t exin it. Joesse finally understood that this was all a well-nned scam. First, it was about the program. Lin Xiu ¡®er might not have done anything to it, but it was also to let Qiao si si gain poprity smoothly. This was the only way to attract more public attention when the scandal broke out. No wonder Lin Xiu ¡®er had put something in her wine when Qiao sisi was participating in the program. She had not done anything after that. So, she had been waiting for her here. Joes looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er with a cold gaze. She suppressed the anger in her heart. What she couldn¡¯t ept the most was that Xiang Jinyu¡¯s Secretary had actually been bribed by Lin Xiu ¡®er to change her testimony at thest minute. Using this point, he finally lured her into the scam and caught her in the name of a thief. Very good ... Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s means were really unexpected. ¡°Jossi, what else do you have to say?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er said with a bitter heart. If it was an outsider who did not know, they would probably think that she had a good rtionship with Joes, but in the end, she was betrayed. After the Secretary¡¯s words, the bnce in Xiang Jinyu¡¯s heart began to tilt. After all, he had been by her side for so many years, so his words definitely had some credibility. Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. She scanned the people around her, but none of them believed her. They all felt that the Secretary was telling the truth. After a long while, she said,¡±I¡¯ll say it again. I really didn¡¯t steal the Ruby. I didn¡¯t have to steal it.¡± Moreover, you all said that I stole something, but that¡¯s just your side of the story. Please show me the evidence and don¡¯t nder me without any basis. ¡± Joes emphasized each and every word. No matter who was ndered and framed every day, they would not be happy. What Lin Xiu ¡®er did had already touched her bottom line. After saying that, Lin Xiu ¡®er bit her lip and said,¡±¡±My set of rubies is worth a million. Your family is not well-off, so why don¡¯t you have a reason to steal it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m all alone. The prize money from the designer Competition and the remuneration from the festival Group are enough for me to live.¡± Joes ¡®words were logical and clear. Even though the situation had reached a critical point, she did not appear to be too nervous. Because that would only arouse suspicion, it was better to exin it calmly. ¡°Hmph!¡± The Secretary snorted.¡±Joesse, you¡¯re really stubborn. You¡¯re still not willing to admit it even at this point.¡± Xiang Jinyu patted the table, signaling for the crowd to quiet down. A momentter, she looked at Joes and said,¡±¡±Then ... Do you have anything that can prove your innocence?¡± After hearing that, joesse started to think about it carefully. The most important thing now was to prove her innocence. Her eyes lit up when she recalled the text message she had sent yesterday. ¡°I sent a text message to my Secretary yesterday, telling her that I left the box in my office and then left thepany. If I¡¯m not mistaken, the time when the security guard saw me leaving thepany should be around the same time as the time he sent the text message. ¡± If there were surveince cameras, it would be solid evidence. However, the mastermind seemed to have noticed this as well, so he deliberately destroyed the surveince cameras, hoping to make use of this to prevent Joss from having a chance to make aeback. Chapter 130 - The item was stolen by Jossi

Chapter 130: The item was stolen by Jossi

After hearing what she said, Xiang Jinyu frowned. Before he could say anything, his Secretary anxiously spoke first. ¡°What can your message prove? isn¡¯t it the same if you hide the thing you stole and then send it? It can¡¯t be considered evidence at all. ¡± The Secretary raised his chin. However, the words were rough, but the logic was not. Just a text message really couldn¡¯t exin anything. Joes thought for a moment and said,¡±¡±President Xiang, even though that¡¯s the case, I really didn¡¯t steal it. Give me some time, I¡¯ll help to investigate the person who stole it. ¡± ¡°What a joke, you were the one who embezzled the money. Now you¡¯re trying to dy time so that you can deal with the Ruby?¡± The one who spoke was Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s assistant next to her. He had a haughty look, and his tone was also aggressive. If not for the inappropriate asion, joesse would have retorted. The few people in front of him seemed to have agreed on this beforehand. Whoever yed the good cop and who yed the good cop had their own division ofbor. Looking at Lin Xiu ¡®er, she didn¡¯t need to do anything or say anything at all, and there were people who were happy to be her gun. Behind this ... There should be something hidden. Joes noticed this secret point, and the way she looked at the Secretary became more and more strange. ...... ¡°Even so, you can¡¯t prove that I stole it. In that case, let¡¯s take a step back and investigate the real thief. Isn¡¯t that good?¡± She said clearly. But the situation was still in a deadlock. Xiang Jinyu didn¡¯t say anything, and he didn¡¯t even state who he believed. He just quietly listened to their discussion. On the other hand, Lin Xiu ¡®er was like a flourishing White Lotus flower, looking at Qiao si with an aggrieved expression. After a long while, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s assistant said something shocking,¡±¡±Since you didn¡¯t take it out of thepany, that means it¡¯s still in thepany!¡± Upon hearing this, Joes instinctively felt that something was amiss. What were they trying to do? Not long after, the Secretary continued,¡±¡±Jossi, if this matter blows up, it will not be good for you and thepany¡¯s image. Don¡¯t hide where the item is hidden.¡± ¡°I think what you said makes sense, but I need you to provide the corresponding evidence. I¡¯ve already made it clear that I didn¡¯t steal it.¡± Joes¡¯s tone had turned cold. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s assistant snorted coldly, and it was unknown if he had heard it. However, the Secretary¡¯s eyes were somewhat thought-provoking, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile. After that, she stood up and said to Xiang Jinyu,¡±¡±President Xiang, there¡¯s a suspicion that something is still in thepany. That¡¯s why I specially sent someone to check on Joes¡¯s desk. If there are no idents, there should be results by now. ¡± Hearing this, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s expression changed slightly. He frowned and said,¡±¡±Did you get someone to check her desk?¡± No one had ever told her about this. Sensing that something was wrong with her tone, the Secretary quickly exined,¡±¡±Because the situation was urgent at that time, I didn¡¯t have time to tell you, President Xiang. I can only tell you now.¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s expression softened a little. ¡°Then let¡¯s do this.¡± She said. Speaking of which, this method was not impossible, but it was not very good to check behind someone¡¯s back. After saying that, Joes¡¯s gaze was as calm as an ancient well. At this moment, no one would help her. If she was not wrong, the Ruby had probably been ced on her desk and became new evidence. The current situation was that the surveince cameras had been destroyed, and there was no witness. There was not even any physical evidence to prove himself. She had to think of a way! Joes¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of anxiety. She lowered her head slightly, but her heart was thinking about a problem. ¡­¡­¡­ Just a few minutes ago, a few women in ol clothing entered joesse¡¯s office at the same time. They were all working under the Secretary, so they naturally had some pride. When the women entered the office, they attracted a lot of attention. The other female colleagues looked at them in a daze. ¡°You are ...¡± Someone asked, but the women¡¯s expressions became even more arrogant. ¡°We were sent by director Xiang to check on Joes¡¯s desk,¡± one of the women said.¡±I heard that she hid the set of ruby beads here.¡± Everyone in the office gasped. Was it sent by President Xiang? Didn¡¯t that mean that Jossi¡¯s theft of the jewelry had already be a fact? Even Lin ya was surprised, let alone the others. Impossible ... How could sisi steal? The few women did not really care about the attitudes of the people in the office. They went straight to joesse¡¯s desk. The woman looked down at Lin ya and asked,¡±¡±Let me ask you, is this Jossi¡¯s desk?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t take other people¡¯s things without their permission,¡± Lin ya said, frowning. After all, Jossi was not around, but this group of people wanted to search her desk. If they found anything, they wouldn¡¯t be able to exin themselves. Lin ya believed that joesse would not do such a thing, but she did not know if someone had done something to it. In that case, things would be difficult. A woman sneered.¡±We¡¯re sent by President Xiang. Of course, we have to check. Who Do You Think You Are?¡± ¡°You!¡± Lin ya was a little angry. This woman¡¯s attitude was too arrogant, as if Lin ya was inferior to others. At that moment, the female colleague sitting in front of them, the one who had mocked Joes and Lin ya in the morning, turned around. She stood up and smiled tteringly, saying,¡±¡±This colleague over here, ignore her. This is Jossi¡¯s seat.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too much!¡± Seeing that female colleague reveal her location, Lin ya was furious. The female colleague snorted coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that Jossi stole it, and now director Xiang has sent someone over. What else do you have to say? get out of the way and check. ¡± Just as Lin ya was about to say something, the women who had been sent over started to rummage through the things on Joes¡¯s seat. Be it the boxes or the cabs, they were all opened and turned into a mess. ¡°You guys are too much!¡± Lin ya was furious and wanted to stop her, but she was pushed away by a woman and almost fell to the ground. Wang Li could not help but frown when she saw this. She couldn¡¯t help but stand up and help Lin ya up. ¡°Wang Li ... Thank you.¡± Lin ya patted the dust off her body, her eyes filled with gratitude. Hearing this, Wang Li shook her head. This was just a small favor. Chapter 131 - These people are too much

Chapter 131: These people are too much

After the filming of the show, the three of them had improved their rtionship a lot and were no longer ordinary colleagues. Wang Li and Lin ya didn¡¯t want to see such a thing happen. ¡°Wang Li, look at them. They don¡¯t care about other people¡¯s opinions at all. They¡¯ve already turned sisi¡¯s seat into a mess!¡± Lin ya was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but there was a woman inside who was staring at her, not letting her stop. Wang Li was silent for two seconds after hearing this. Then, he pulled her back two steps and said softly,¡±¡±Lin ya, listen up. This is no longer something we can stop. President Xiang has spoken. Do you know sisi¡¯s friends or something? let me inform them of this matter first. ¡± Lin ya was taken aback, but she quickly nodded. She did know of one. Previously, when they were chatting, Joes had mentioned Anna Chen to her. He had a way to contact her, but he had never met her before, so he had never used this method. After Wang Li¡¯s reminder, she suddenly remembered this matter. ¡°I know. There¡¯s a girl called Anna Chen. She¡¯s sisi¡¯s friend.¡± Lin ya quickly said. Upon hearing this, Wang Li pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said,¡±¡±Then contact her. Anyway, I think something¡¯s not right about this.¡± ...... At the end of the day, they were merely Jossi¡¯s colleagues and did not know much about her family¡¯s situation. She still needed to inform her friends or family to deal with this kind of thing. After Lin ya understood, she took her phone and left the office to the bathroom, ready to contact Chen Anna. As for Wang Li, she was keeping an eye on the women who were searching the area to prevent them from using any tricks to frame joesse. Qiao si SI¡¯s office desk had been turned upside down. That vicious female colleague was extremely satisfied. She looked at Wang Li, who was at the side, andughed.¡±Wang Li, don¡¯t tell me you also think that Jossi didn¡¯t steal the jewelry?¡± Hearing that, Wang Li turned her head and nced at her, saying,¡±¡±What does what I think have anything to do with you?¡± ¡°You ...¡± In the face of Wang Li¡¯s merciless words, the female colleague was a little angry, but it was of no use. Since Wang Li was able to go against Wei Yast time, it meant that she had someone backing her. This female colleague could not afford to offend her. ¡°Hmph!¡± The female colleague coldly snorted and turned her head away. The few women sent by the Secretary rummaged through the things on Joes¡¯s desk. Finally ... One of the womenughed. ¡°Hahaha, I knew that this person must have stolen the jewelry. As expected!¡± The woman said fiercely. Then, she raised an exquisite gift box in her hand. After opening it, it was indeed the set of ruby jewelry that Lin Xiu ¡®er had customized. This was something that he had found in the bottommost drawer of joesse¡¯s drawer, and it was even hidden in a folder. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to find it. The woman¡¯s voice attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and everyone looked at the box in her hand. ¡°Heavens! I didn¡¯t expect that Joes would really steal!¡± ¡°You really can¡¯t judge a book by its cover. I can¡¯t judge others by their looks anymore.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The colleagues instantly burst into a heated discussion, as well as uncontroble exmations. When the female colleague saw this scene, a hint of satisfaction shed in her eyes. She knew that Qiao si si was done for this time. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Wang Li muttered softly. However, she was also thinking about it. ording to her understanding, Joes was not that kind of person. In that case, there was a huge problem with this matter. ¡°He deserves it!¡± The female colleague gloated, a smile appearing on her face. The other colleagues in the office were actually a little d, but most of them hid it. The woman holding the exquisite gift box sneered and raised the box in her hand, saying,¡±¡±You¡¯ll see what happens to thievester. Shiyu will never let a thief continue working!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After saying this, the other women followed her and left with their heads held high. It was as if finding this set of rubies and jewels from Joss¡¯s seat was a glorious thing. Just as they were about to step out of the office, Wang Li called out to them,¡±¡±Wait a minute ...¡± Upon hearing this, one of the women turned her head. When she saw that it was Wang Li, her originally impatient expression eased a little. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wang Li frowned and said,¡±¡±Are you sure you were sent by President Xiang?¡± Xiang Jinyu probably wouldn¡¯t do something like this directly, so she felt that someone must have been behind it. The woman crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.¡±Wang Li, don¡¯t be too full of yourself. We¡¯ve already found the thing. Is there a need to bring up the question that we¡¯ve sent to you?¡± ¡°Ha ... ording to what you mean, it really isn ¡®t.¡± The corners of Wang Li¡¯s mouth rose slightly. The woman¡¯s expression changed slightly as if she had been hit by a truth, but she quickly recovered. ¡°I¡¯m not going to argue with you. I¡¯m going to report this to director Xiang immediately. Let¡¯s go!¡± After that, the few of them left the office without looking back. Their footsteps were quick, and it was clear that this matter was very important. Actually, it wasn¡¯t just the Secretary, even Xiang Jinyu was the same. Wang Li looked at the backs of the few women leaving, and her eyes were filled with worry. He hoped that joesse would be safe from now on. He wondered who was the one who did such a heartless thing. As soon as the women left, Lin ya entered the office. At this moment, joesse¡¯s desk was a mess, and many things had been thrown on the ground. ¡°These people are too much!¡± Lin ya quickly put away her phone, picked up everything on the floor, and tidied up her desk. Wang Li¡¯s expression was a littleplicated. When she saw here in, she did not tell her what had happened immediately, afraid that she would not be able to ept it. But even if she didn¡¯t say it, someone else would. The female colleague sitting in front stood up, crossed her arms, and said with contempt,¡±¡±Lin ya, are you still helping Joes with her stuff? Oh, I forgot. You don¡¯t know what happened just now. ¡± Lin ya¡¯s hand that was holding the flower pot paused, and she looked sharply at her female colleague.¡±¡±What do you mean by that?¡± Even though she asked this question, she had already guessed the possible development of some things. The group of women had already left, and the things on Jossi¡¯s desk had been rummaged through. Could it be that ... Chapter 132 - Destroy this person

Chapter 132: Destroy this person

The female colleagueughed sarcastically and looked at Lin ya as if she was an idiot.¡±¡±They¡¯ve already found out that the set of rubies and jewels was stolen by Jossi!¡± These people ... Lin ya lowered her head slightly and didn¡¯t say anything because she was already mentally prepared. It was just that she did not expect things to happen so quickly. Even if her female colleague had said so, she did not believe that Joes would do such a thing. At that thought, Lin ya looked up at the office door, a little worried about Joes, who was in deep trouble. Just now, she had called Chen Anna and exined everything clearly from beginning to end. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to arrive at Shiyupany in about ten minutes. ¡­¡­¡­ Joesse had no idea what had happened in the office. She was currently sitting in the guest room, facing the gazes of everyone, including Xiang Jinyu. Those women had already handed the box containing the rubies and jewels to Xiang Jinyu. After confirmation, it was indeed the set of jewelry that Lin Xiu ¡®er had lost. When Joes saw it, she was also a little surprised. However, she calmed down after a moment of surprise. Since Lin Xiu ¡®er and the others were already prepared to frame him, then all aspects would be handled properly. This naturally did not need to be said. ...... She sighed and thought to herself,¡¯I¡¯m not cautious enough.¡¯ If he hadn¡¯t agreed to that female colleague¡¯s requestst night and taken the hot potato that was the jewelry, he was afraid that there wouldn¡¯t have been so many things happening today. The Secretary carefully examined the Ruby and ced it on the table gently. She even nced at Lin Xiu ¡®er in an obscure manner during this period andmunicated the meaning of both parties with her eyes. ¡°Jossi, the evidence is right in front of you. What else do you have to say?¡± The Secretary said sternly, standing firmly on the moral high ground. It was as if she was the one in the right, and Joes was the one who could only be insulted by the world. Faced with the Secretary¡¯s overbearing attitude, Joes¡¯s expression was unusually calm. She could not help but smile.¡±I can¡¯t do anything if you guys want to nder me like this.¡± At this point, she paused for a moment as if she had thought of something.¡±Oh right, you better hope that you didn¡¯t leave any evidence behind. Otherwise ... The situation will be reversed.¡± At this point, Joes had already understood everything. The bnce in Xiang Jinyu¡¯s heart had already tipped to the Secretary¡¯s side. She could only rely on herself to win back the battle. However, the sudden piece of evidence disrupted all of joesse¡¯s ns. When she returned to her desk in the morning, she did not expect the set of rubies to be in her drawer. Lin Xiu ¡®er also used a good scheme, so vicious. Joes¡¯s gaze changed slightly, and she looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was sitting opposite her. ¡°Jossi, how can you say that? are you still not going to admit it?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s expression was pained and bitter as she criticized him. The assistant next to her was even more jealous and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I heard sister Lin say that you were a good person at the beginning. In the end, you¡¯re a thief and you refuse to admit it!¡± The two of them continued to sing sentence after sentence, as if they were singing a duet, with no intention of stopping. In the end, it was Xiang Jinyu who couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and waved his hand slightly, and Lin Xiu ¡®er and the little assistant stopped. ¡°Jossi, I found the item on your desk. What do you want to say?¡± Xiang Jinyu nced at Qiao si and said indifferently. Right now, she was more inclined to the Secretary and Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s exnation, but she still wanted to see how Joes would exin it. Joesughed and said,¡±¡±I have nothing to exin now. I¡¯ve said what I need to say. Give me some time to find the evidence and prove that I didn¡¯t steal the red packet.¡± ¡°You make it sound so easy!¡± The Secretary sneered and crossed her arms as she looked at Jossi. Of course, she would not give her this chance. If they really found any evidence that could turn the situation around, she would be in danger! As for how the Secretary was convinced by Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue, Qiao sisi did not know, nor did she want to know. She only needed to know one thing now, and that was that the Secretary sister who had brought her and Lin ya to the show had now be an enemy who spoke ill of them. He might have his own difficulties, but that didn¡¯t change anything. Joes¡¯s eyes were clear as she slowly said,¡±¡±President Xiang, it¡¯s not a good reputation for your employees to be used of theft. Besides, I really didn¡¯t steal the Ruby jewelry. I don¡¯t know how it got into the drawer under my desk. H, I know you don¡¯t believe me, but it¡¯s too much of a coincidence. I won¡¯t just admit it. ¡± No one would admit defeat so easily. It wasn¡¯t easy for Qiao si si to climb to her current position. After a series of events such as a Designer Competition and filming a show, she finally became Jin Yu¡¯s official designer. However, it was as if the heavens were ying a joke on her. She had only been there for a day, and something happened the next day. After Xiang Jinyu heard what Qiao sisi said, he nodded in agreement and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no problem with what you said, but I need evidence now.¡± There was no way to prove her innocence without evidence. Lin Xiu ¡®er originally wanted to use this matter to tarnish Joes¡¯ reputation. Coupled with the price of the Ruby, it would be easy to put her in jail. How could she let go of this opportunity? As a customer of the custom-made jewelry, she had already paid for it, but the item was stolen. If she wanted to call the police, it was Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s call. Joes looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er indifferently, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. In the end ... She still fell into this woman¡¯s trap. In the next moment, Lin Xiu ¡®er started her speech. ¡°Jossi, I¡¯m very disappointed in you. I can¡¯t just let this matter rest. I¡¯ve already called the police.¡± After she finished speaking, Lin Xiu ¡®er picked up her cell phone. The phone number written on it was the number to call the police. She had called it more than ten minutes ago. If everything went as nned, the guards should be arriving at Shiyupany soon. ¡°Miss Lin, it¡¯s our negligence that caused the loss of the jewelry. We willpensate you for this, but calling the police ... Isn¡¯t that a little too much?¡± Xiang Jinyu frowned. After all, it would affect thepany¡¯s reputation to a certain extent. If there were other solutions, she would not want to be so direct. But even if she said so, Lin Xiu ¡®er did not have the slightest intention of appreciating the favor. What she wanted was not money. Now that Qiao sisi was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e in name, what she wanted to do was to destroy this person! Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Is there any more evidence?

Joes knew what Lin Xiu ¡®er was thinking. At this moment, she also fell silent. Her brain was working quickly, thinking about the clues that might have been missed out on this matter. The surveince camera was destroyed and could not be essed. No one had heard what the Secretary had said, so there was no way to prove her innocence. As for the female colleague, other than knowing that she had handed the jewelry to Jessi, she knew nothing else. It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Jossi to find any clues in this well-connected scheme. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn¡¯t think of any clues. She just couldn¡¯t grasp that faint divine light. After a long while. ¡°Looking at the time, we should be arriving soon.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er raised her hand and nced at the time on her watch. The smile on her face couldn¡¯t be concealed. She had finally seeded once. This time, this woman would probably never be able to turn things around! Qiao si lowered her head slightly and remained silent. This was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rotten peach blossom. However, Zheng Zeyi had gone on a business trip and probably would not be able to rush over to handle it immediately. ¡°President Xiang ...¡± Joes looked up and said. However, before she could continue, there was a knock on the door of the guest room. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± ...... Xiang Jinyu¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he looked at the closed door. He straightened his face and said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± The person who pushed the door open was Xiang Jinyu¡¯s assistant, assistant li, who had brought Qiao sisi and the others on a business tripst time. After she entered, she said respectfully,¡±¡±President Xiang, there are a few security guards downstairs. They said that there was a theft at thepany and they are here to deal with it.¡± Assistant li had already heard about Joes ¡®theft of the jewelry. After saying this, she nced at Joes. To be honest, assistant li also found it hard to believe, but now that the guards were here, she couldn¡¯t say anything. It was just a pity that the girl she had high hopes for had ended up in such a state. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, then please invite the guards up.¡± Xiang Jinyu sighed slightly. He didn¡¯t expect Lin Xiu ¡®er to act so quickly. Since that was the case, he could only take it one step at a time and try to reduce thepany¡¯s losses as much as possible. After assistant li heard Xiang Jinyu¡¯s words, he said ¡°yes¡± and turned to go downstairs. On the other hand, Qiao SI¡¯s expression was grave, and there was a profound look in her eyes as she secretly nced at Lin Xiu ¡®er. ¡°President Xiang, you can¡¯t just keep the peace after this. With a thief like this, how can youfort the other employees?¡± At this moment, Lin Xiu ¡®er was like a White Lotus flower in the flourishing world as she earnestly exined. Xiang Jinyu was the CEO of thispany. How could she not have some ability to run thepany to this extent? After listening to Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s words, she chuckled and didn¡¯t bother to say anything more. Her fingers knocked on the table and gently tapped. Lin Xiu ¡®er, now that things havee to this, you don¡¯t need to pretend anymore, right?¡± Joes suddenly said this sentence and looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er with interest. Who among the few present did not know Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s true colors? It was probably only the female colleague beside him who did not know the truth. No matter how kind she appeared on the surface, she could always see through this hypocritical appearance and see the dark heart inside. However, Lin Xiu ¡®er shook her head and said with a smile,¡±¡±Jossi, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, when the guardse upter, if you still refuse to admit it, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be charged with an even greater crime,¡± she said after a pause. Her words wereced with a threatening tone. She was threatening Joes. As long as joesse was put in jail for this, no matter how long it would take, it would be a stain on her record that would never be erased. By then, not only would Shiyupany not want her, even the otherpanies would not ept a thief like her. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. He would not allow a woman who stole to be the matriarch of the Zheng¡¯s group. That would be aplete blow to his image. The more Lin Xiu ¡®er thought like this, the more delighted she became, as if she had already seen that scene with her own eyes. Joes looked at the curve on her lips and narrowed her eyes. She did not continue the war of words with her as it was meaningless. He still had to think about how to face the guardster, in case he was really taken away. ¡­¡­¡­ After a while. Assistant li led a few guards in police uniforms into the guest room. They looked serious and stood tall. Joes lowered her head slightly because she knew that she did not need to say anything now. Someone would naturally be the first to speak up. As expected, Lin Xiu ¡®er stood up in the next second. ¡°Officers.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er revealed a pure and wless smile. She got up and walked to the side of several guards, holding a gift box with rubies and jewelry in her hand. One of the security guards saw her and said,¡±¡±Did you call the police?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er nodded and concealed the viciousness in her eyes as she said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. A few days ago, I ordered a set of jewelry from thispany. It¡¯s worth hundreds of thousands of Yuan, and it¡¯s the set I¡¯m holding. ¡± After saying that, Lin Xiu ¡®er waved the jewel in her hand. The Ruby emitted a dazzling light under the light. At a nce, one could tell that it was not an ordinary item, and it was rather captivating. After listening to Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s description, Joes¡¯ heart was somewhat calm. After she was mentally prepared, she was not so angry. She wanted to see to what extent Lin Xiu ¡®er could still be shameless. ¡°And then?¡± One of the guards asked. Things were still within Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s grasp up until now. She continued,¡±¡±When I came to pick it up these few days, I found that this set of ruby jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of Yuan had disappeared.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er nced at Jossi.¡±¡±After the inspection, my jewelry was found in an employee¡¯s desk. Does that constitute a theft?¡± ¡°Sure, do you have any more evidence?¡± The security guard asked. Even though the jewelry found in Jessi¡¯s desk was already conclusive evidence, other evidence was still needed. Upon hearing the Guard¡¯s words, Lin Xiu ¡®er frowned slightly, but she quickly rxed. ¡°As for the evidence ... This employee is from a poor family. It¡¯s very likely that he took the opportunity to steal my jewelry and sell it for Practical Money.¡± The guards nodded. This could be considered a clue. At this moment, Lin Xiu ¡®er suddenly stretched out her finger and pointed at Joes.¡±¡±Officers, she¡¯s the employee I mentioned just now. Her name is Jossi, and she¡¯s the one who stole my Ruby!¡± Towards the end, his tone became heavier and more certain. Chapter 134

Chapter 134: What she did ... Should be right, right?

Qiao si si almostughed out of anger at such a shameless Lin Xiu ¡®er. In order to take revenge on her, Lin Xiu¡¯ er had really lost her face. Lin Xiu ¡®er, you¡¯re quite amazing.¡± Joes¡¯s smile was cold. Due to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s subtle influence, she now had a rather imposing and oppressive aura, which made people have to pay attention to her. Lin Xiu ¡®er sneered, her back facing the guards and Xiang Jinyu, so they didn¡¯t see the abnormality in her expression. Then, she said to the guards,¡±¡±Officer, this employee still doesn¡¯t admit to his crime even with absolute evidence. This is very bad behavior.¡± ¡°Miss Lin, we will handle this matter.¡± The security guard did not say anything. Instead, he walked up to joesse. Due to his tall stature, his shadow covered joesse. ¡°Miss, miss Lin said that you stole her jewelry. Do you not admit it?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly. She didn¡¯t do it in the first ce, so of course she wouldn¡¯t admit it. She wouldn¡¯tpromise. Moreover, the rtionship between Qiao si si and Lin Xiu ¡®er was already irreconcble. There was no need to maintain that fake act on the surface. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to admit it, but I¡¯ve never done such a thing. ¡± Joes said calmly. Hearing her words, the guards looked at each other andmunicated through their eyes. ...... Without waiting for the guards to speak, Lin Xiu ¡®er took the lead and said,¡±¡±Jossi, this is all evidence. If you admit to it, I might let you off. But since you¡¯re so unrepentant, I can only call the police and let you wake up in the police station. ¡± There was a hint of a smile in her tone, and her expression was even more mocking. At this point, there was no need for her to pretend like before. ¡°Miss Lin is right,¡± the guards said.¡±The Ruby was found in your desk. Pleasee with us.¡± After saying that, one of the guards took out a pair of handcuffs, which emitted a cold silver light under the light. Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, but a cold smile appeared on her lips. She was really pressing on with every step, not willing to give up at all. ¡°Sure.¡± A clear and melodious female voice rang out. Not to mention Xiang Jinyu and the others, even Lin Xiu ¡®er was a little surprised. She looked down at Jossi, who was sitting on the seat, and raised her eyebrows, not understanding why she had agreed so quickly. It was not that Joes had given up on struggling. On the contrary, if this situation were to blow up, it would be even more difficult to deal with. It was better to settle it quietly behind her back. One had to know that joesse also had negative news about Lin Xiu ¡®er, but she had not made it public. Lin Xiu ¡®er looked at Qiao si si and yed with her fingers as she said,¡±¡±Jossi, it seems like you¡¯ve given up?¡± Jossi did not care about what she said. Instead, she stood up and said to the guards,¡±¡±I can go with you, but I need to make a call to inform my family.¡± The guards looked at each other, but they did not have any objections to this request. Even if she was brought to the police station, the guards would still have to find a way to contact joesse¡¯s family. Seeing that the guards had agreed, Joes nodded her head slightly. She took out her phone and found Chen Anna¡¯s contact information. Then, she sent a long message over, exining the entire situation. As for Zheng Zeyi, she did not inform him. He believed that Chen Anna would be able to settle this matter. There was no need to trouble Zheng Zeyi anymore, as he would owe him a favor for nothing. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Just as Joes sent the text message, Chen Anna¡¯s call came in. Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, she calmly picked up the call and put the phone to her ear.¡±¡±Hello?¡± ¡°Hello? Sisi, what¡¯s the situation? are the guards taking you away?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s voice was very urgent, she wished she could fly to Shiyupany right now. However, she received the news muchter than the guards. No matter how fast she drove, she couldn¡¯t vite the traffic rules. Therefore, it would take at least five to six minutes to reach Shiyupany. Upon hearing that, Joes smiled and said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go back to the station with the guards to investigate because the evidence now points to me. Which means ... They all believe that I stole the Ruby. ¡± ¡°This group of people is too much, especially that Lin Xiu ¡®er!¡± Chen Anna gritted her teeth and said. If she had known that Lin Xiu ¡®er was so vicious, she would have asked Joes to be on guard. However, it was toote now. Things had already happened. It was a good thing that both Qiao si and Chen Anna had a tacit understanding. Chen Anna was able to glean a lot of information from this conversation. That was, the current Joris needed evidence to turn the tables. If Anna Chen wanted to help, she would have to find the relevant evidence. ¡°I¡¯ll go with the guards then. You can inform the others. Don¡¯t worry ... I¡¯ll be fine. ¡± Joes said. After saying that, a strange look shed in his eyes, and he hung up the phone. Now, his hope was on Anna Chen. Joes believed that she could save him, and that she did not steal the so-called Ruby. He just didn¡¯t know how Lin Xiu ¡®er would still control the direction of public opinion on the inte after this incident happened. At this thought, Joes sighed and kept her phone in her pocket. Her eyes gradually became clear. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. Joes was the first to leave the guest room. The guards reacted and quickly followed, each of their faces extremely serious. Lin Xiu ¡®er looked at her departing back, and her smile became even more brilliant. Her eyes were filled with resentment. This woman had finally fallen into her trap. Now, she would like to see if Zheng Zeyi still dared to keep this woman who had the reputation of a thief. If it wasn¡¯t for the reason that the asion wasn¡¯t right, Lin Xiu ¡®er would almostugh out loud. Xiang Jinyu, on the other hand, frowned slightly. He stood up and looked at the door of the reception room, as well as the back figures that were leaving. What she did ... Should be right. At that moment, Xiang Jinyu did not realize that she had made a decision that she would regret in the future. At some point, many colleagues had gathered outside the reception room to watch the fun. Even Lin ya and Wang Li were looking at the tightly closed door of the reception room from outside the crowd. From the moment the guards arrived, the nature of the matter had already be extremely serious. ¡°Wang Li, I heard that the guards have gone in. Do you think sisi will be fine?¡± Lin ya¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. Chapter 135

Chapter 135: I¡¯ll exin to you

Thinking back to the items that the women had found in Jossi¡¯s office desk, he was even more worried. If Xiang Jinyu and the guards found out about this, they would definitely think that Qiao si si was the thief. Lin ya was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She bit her lip and didn¡¯t know what to do. She didn¡¯t expect that Lin Xiu ¡®er was actually such a person. That¡¯s right ... She had already done something like stealing a beam and recing it with a pir in the showst time. How could such a person be a good person? Wang Li shook her head slightly.¡±It¡¯s very dangerous. It should be difficult for her to make aeback. But you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin ya asked in confusion. Upon hearing this, Wang Li¡¯s face revealed a smile.¡±¡±Trust me, you should have forgotten about Joes¡¯s other identity.¡± Identity? Lin ya was silent for a while when she heard that word, thinking about it carefully. Finally, after a while, her eyes lit up and she said softly,¡±¡±I remember now, sisi seems to be young master Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e. After something like this happened, young master Zheng definitely wouldn¡¯t just stand by and watch, right? sisi will definitely be fine!¡± Lin ya tried tofort herself, but she was much better than before. ...... Wang Li, on the other hand, revealed a faint smile. Who knows? In any case, she did not wish for anything to happen to Joes. They were originally strangers, but after the shooting of the show in Wu city, they had be friends. ¡°Squeak ...¡± Suddenly, the door of the reception room was pushed open. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the door. The moment Joes stepped out, she was shocked. She pursed her lips helplessly. She didn¡¯t expect so many colleagues to be gathered at the door of the reception room. A few guards in police uniform walked out from behind Joes. When they saw them, the chattering crowd immediately quieted down. Joes scanned the crowd and immediately spotted Lin ya and Wang Li who were not far away. She gave him a reassuring look, turned around, and was about to leave Shiyupany with a few security guards when she suddenly heard a voice. ¡°Jossi, did you really steal that set of rubies?¡± The one who spoke was a female colleague he had never met before. She stopped in her tracks and looked up at the female colleague. She did not recognize her. However, this female colleague had a gloating smile on her face, as if Joes ¡®theft was something more worth celebrating than being taken away by the guards. Joes¡¯s eyes were cold as she said coldly,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to gloat like that. Even if I¡¯m framed, you¡¯re not as good as me. Just watch.¡± With that, joesse did not waste any more time and left thepany. The female colleague didn¡¯t dare to say anything. She just snorted and said in a low voice,¡±¡±What are you being so arrogant for? they¡¯ve been taken away by the guards. What good end can they have?¡± Everyone¡¯s discussion grew louder and louder, all about Joes¡¯s theft. At this point, most people felt that she had indeed stolen something, but she just refused to admit it. There were only a few who chose to wait and see, and there were not many who believed in Joes. ¡°Wang Li, sisi has been taken away ...¡± Lin ya sighed slightly. Wang Li patted her on the shoulder to reassure her.¡±¡±Jossi gave us a hint with her eyes just now, so don¡¯t worry. Looking at the time, her friend should be here soon.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s been more than ten minutes. They should be here soon.¡± Lin ya nodded heavily. When Chen Anna arrived, they would tell her what had happened. The three of them would think of a way to disclose the matter to Zheng Zeyi. There should not be any problems. Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little more at ease. ¡°Knock, knock!¡± At this time, the Secretary suddenly walked to the door and knocked on the ss door of the reception room, which attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The Secretary¡¯s face was serious as he said coldly,¡±¡±What are you all doing here, not working? Go back to your post right now!¡± His voice carried a hint of seriousness. Hearing this, the colleagues didn¡¯t dare to dy, including Wang Li and Lin ya, who turned around and went back to the office. At this moment, Jossi had already gotten into a police car and arrived at the police station in city h that she had never seen before. She had lived in city h for so long, but this was her first timeing to this ce. She opened the car door and followed the guard into the police station. The police station was spacious and bright with excellent lighting. In just a short while, Joes had already seen quite a number of police officers in uniform greeting the few people in front of her. There were even some who carried out missions in in clothes, which could be considered an eye-opening experience. In the end, Joes was brought to an interrogation room. In short, all the questions she asked were rted to the theft. She had answered honestly without hiding anything. There was no need to hide such things. However, as Joes was the prime suspect, she could only be detained for the next few days, unless new evidence was found to prove that she did not steal the Ruby. ¡°Sigh ...¡± Joes sighed slightly and looked at the intoxicating scenery outside the window. She hoped that Anna would be able to find evidence. ¡­¡­¡­ Chen Anna had just arrived at Shiyupany. Coincidentally, it was thepany¡¯s lunch break. Wang Li and Lin ya finished their lunch as quickly as possible and went to the first floor of thepany to see Chen Anna. ¡°Are you sisi¡¯s colleagues?¡± Anna Chen wiped the sweat on her forehead and swallowed her saliva. After a long journey, she was also a little tired. However, for Joes ¡®sake, she endured it. ¡°That¡¯s right. Sisi hasn¡¯t told you about what happened this morning, right?¡± Lin ya quickly said after seeing Chen Anna. Now, the rumors in thepany were so much that they couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. It could be seen to what extent the matter had fermented. If Jossi were to be locked up for a while longer, even if she was not the one who stole the jewelry, everyone would subconsciously think that she was a major suspect. He didn¡¯t do anything wrong, but he had to bear the consequences. Anna Chen¡¯s face was serious.¡±Sisi told me some things, but the situation is urgent. There are some things I¡¯m not clear about. I need you to tell me.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll exin it to you.¡± Lin ya nodded. Then, she exined the process of the incident to Chen Anna. If there was anything that she missed out, Wang Li would help to make up for it. The three of them gathered on the first floor of thepany, unaware that a storm was brewing on the inte. Chapter 136

Chapter 136: It¡¯s just her own handiwork

The theft of the Ruby jewelry was a huge blow to thepany. Xiang Jinyu was busy with thepany¡¯s public rtions and even had to discuss thepensation for the ident. As for Lin Xiu ¡®er, she had already returned to the vi with the red gems and jewelry and started to control the direction of public opinion on the inte. Ruining Jossi¡¯s reputation was also part of the n. Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue had already discussed this. As long as Qiao Si was sessfully taken away, they could use this as an excuse to fabricate a non-existent truth and post it on the inte. ¡°Qiao sisi, don¡¯t even think about turning things around ...¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er sneered. She clicked on the button on the screen and posted a Weibo message on her phone. Her public image was that of a well-known female artiste, and everything she said was the truth. As long as theizens were brought to this point, Joes was simply someone who was not to be feared. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s thoughts were indeed correct. Her Weibo had only been posted for a few minutes, and the entire inte suddenly exploded. Other than her fame, there was also the poprity that Jin Yu¡¯s bigpany brought, as well as the few fans that Qiao si si had after she joined the show. Together, they had sessfully controlled the direction of public opinion. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s Weibo post was also very simple. Undoubtedly, she had seen who it was. He didn¡¯t expect her to actually do such a thing. Then, she brought up joesse¡¯s identity in the next part of the story. She did not mention her name from top to bottom. Furthermore, Lin Xiu ¡®er ced herself in the position of the victim. Every word and sentence she said were harsh. If Joes had seen this, she would probably have pped for her. What a good trick. ...... Within a short period of time, Qiao si si had been cursed to such an extent on the inte that even those fans who had said a few words before the truth was revealed did not dare to show their faces. Many vloggers reposted Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s Weibo, as if they were afraid of missing out on the trend of the times. All of a sudden, the entire inte was discussing about Joes¡¯s theft, and it was not an ordinary item. It was a set of rubies worth hundreds of thousands of dors! ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er was still talking about what happened in the morning when the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She didn¡¯t mind and only heaved a sigh of relief after she finished speaking. Chen Anna, who had heard the entire process of the matter, had a gloomy expression on her face. Her mistake was that she didn¡¯t expect Lin Xiu ¡®er to actually dare to do such a thing. ¡°Thank you very much.¡± Chen Anna suppressed the anger in her heart and said. Lin ya waved her hand.¡±You don¡¯t have to be so polite. Sisi has always been very good to us.¡± This was just a small matter. ¡°If we want to deal with this matter, we still need to find crucial evidence.¡± Wang Li¡¯s expression was also a little serious. She waspletely different from her arrogant and domineering appearance before. Anna Chen nodded slightly. This was indeed the case. If they could not find crucial evidence, they would not be able to help Joes reverse the verdict. While Wang Li and Chen Anna were talking, Lin ya nced at her phone with a frown. It was a push notification. Since she followed several bloggers on her Weibo app, she would be notified of their posts in the form of a push notification. Lin ya nced at it and was about to put her phone away when she suddenly realized what was going on. She picked up her phone in disbelief and looked at it. Sure enough, she saw a brief summary written on it. The general idea was that an employee of apany was exposed for stealing jewelry and refused to admit it. It looked too familiar ... Wasn¡¯t it the incident that happened at Shiyu¡¯spany today? With that in mind, Lin ya quickly turned on her phone and pulled the screen to Weibo. She began to read the heart-piercing long article. ¡°Hiss ...¡± A momentter, Lin ya gasped and couldn¡¯t help but exim. Her voice attracted the attention of Chen Anna and Wang Li. Wang Li looked puzzled and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin ya¡¯s face was dark. She swiped the screen a few times and showed the phone to the two of them. Although they were a little confused, they still took the phone and swiped the screen to watch it. The more they read, the darker their eyes became. They didn¡¯t expect the matter to ferment so quickly. Not only did it spread throughout Shiyupany, but even the direction of the wind on the inte was also led astray. That¡¯s right, the posts on Lin ya¡¯s phone were from those vloggers, and every one of them used Joes of stealing. Everyone couldn¡¯t wait to give a long speech. There were almost no neutral ones, and all of them followed the trend and posted along with Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s Weibo post. It was really popr. Lin ya¡¯s eyes were dazed as she mumbled,¡±¡±It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over ... The inte is filled with sisi¡¯s matter. I¡¯m afraid sisi¡¯s future days will be difficult because of this pressure!¡± Theseizens were the most terrifying existences. They could talk about your ancestors with their keyboards. He had to find evidence as soon as possible. Chen Anna made up her mind, and her eyes became more determined. She returned the phone to Lin ya and said,¡±¡±Leave this to me. I¡¯ll find clues as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Can I really?¡± Lin ya was a little worried that she couldn¡¯t do it alone. Chen Anna shook her head,¡±¡±Let¡¯s give it a try. ¡± There was no other way now, and the lunch break for Lin ya and the others was almost over. Lin ya nced at her phone.¡±Anna, Wang Li and I have to go back first. If we get caught by the Secretary, we won¡¯t have a good time.¡± If there was anything in thepany that needed help, Chen Anna also needed Lin ya and Chen Liuying, so she couldn¡¯t reveal anything for the time being. Chen Anna said ¡°okay¡± and left alone as she watched Lin ya and Wang Li leave. Lin Xiu ¡®er ... Was this really just her doing? Chen Anna squinted her eyes slightly. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Yang Yue Yue, the woman who hated Qiao si to the core. One was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin, and the other was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend. Chen Anna would not believe that the two of them were not in touch. At this time, she was almost certain that the theft was the work of the two of them. ¡°Ha ...¡± Anna Chenughed coldly. He actually dared to put the Ruby in Jessi¡¯s office desk. He really did not care about his face at all just to frame her! Thinking of this, Chen Anna did not dy any longer and left Shiyupany. After that, Chen Anna found the contact information of a reliable private detective on the inte and the two agreed to meet at a coffee shop. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. Chen Anna smiled. A man in a windbreaker was sitting in front of her. Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 137ing out again

He did look like a detective. The man took a sip of his coffee and said,¡±¡±So ... You want me to keep an eye on these two people and find out if your friend is the thief?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s these two women. The surveince cameras have been destroyed, and it¡¯s hard to get into thepany. If you want to do it, it should be a little difficult.¡± Chen Anna carefully analyzed. ¡°I¡¯ve told you what happened, you should understand,¡±she added after a pause. Chen Anna ced a lot of importance on this matter and naturally would not let anyone do it casually. The man¡¯s eyes lit up.¡±¡±That¡¯s not a problem. Since the difficulty has increased, what about the price?¡± Chen Anna put a kraft paper bag on the table and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s a small deposit inside. It¡¯s not much, but I have to confirm your credibility before I can give you the rest.¡± ¡°Deal!¡± The man immediately agreed and put the kraft paper bag into the trench coat. After the two of them made a deal, they left each other their contact information and left the coffee shop. Chen Anna looked up at the sky. It was already evening. Regarding this matter, it was not that she had not thought of seeking Zheng Zeyi¡¯s help to resolve it. It was just that she did not have a way to contact him. Secondly, Yang Yue Yue was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin. Who knew if he had a hand in this? If they were to participate in it, wouldn¡¯t that be like sending a sheep into a Tiger¡¯s mouth? ...... Thinking of this, Chen Anna shook her head and temporarily rejected the idea. It was safer to do it herself. At the moment, she did not trust Zheng Zeyi that much. In addition, because of Yang Yue Yue, she was a little annoyed. ¡°I hope sisi is fine ...¡± Chen Anna could not help but worry about Joes, who was in the Bureau. She did not know how she was doing. However, Joes was still in a good state at the moment. As she was only a major suspect, she had not beenpletely confirmed. Otherwise, she would not be just staying in the interrogation room. ¡°Miss Qiao, this is your phone number ...¡± At this moment, a security guard suddenly walked in with a phone and passed it to Jossi. Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. After she finished speaking, she took the phone. When she heard the familiar voice on the phone, she suddenly felt her nose sting. ¡°Sisi, are you okay?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s voice was filled with worry. Jossi nodded. She knew that her good friend on the other end of the phone could not see, but she could not help herself. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Have you been to Shiyupany?¡±she said. ¡°I¡¯ve been there. Lin ya and the others have told me about it.¡± Chen Anna exined the situation. This included the matter of the public opinion on the inte being led astray by Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was currently a well-known female star. In addition, there might be a Big Boss behind them, so it was too easy to control thoseizens. If they could not find any evidence to turn the tables now, even if Joes was released from prison, it was very likely that everyone would oppose her because of this. Even if she was innocent. ¡°Sisi, do you think Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er joined hands to do this? I have a feeling that their rtionship isn¡¯t simple. ¡± Chen Anna pondered for a moment and spoke her guess. The two of them were equally vicious, and the main simrity was that they had a strong hatred for Joes. They might have done this together. If both sides investigated together, there might be different results. Upon hearing this, Joes was a little surprised, because her thoughts were in line with Chen Anna ¡®s. After two seconds of silence, Joes said,¡±¡±Actually, that¡¯s what I thought as well, but they probably didn¡¯t let anyone know. It¡¯s quite difficult.¡± Since the guards were next to her, she didn¡¯t want to make it too obvious. She could only give a rough exnation, but Chen Anna and her had a good understanding of each other, and these few words were enough to understand what she meant. ¡°I understand, sisi,¡± Anna Chen said with a smile.¡±Wait for me for a while and I¡¯ll get you out.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joesughed as well. After that, the two hung up the phone. Joesse returned the phone to the guard, but a warm current flowed through her heart. There was still someone who cared about her. For example, his good friend Chen Anna, Lin ya and Wang Li, and ... Zheng Zeyi? The man¡¯s tall figure appeared in her mind, as well as the details of her life these days. Her eyes became a littleplicated. It had already been half a day since this incident had urred. She wondered if Zheng Zeyi knew about this, what kind of attitude did he have, and if he would believe her. As doubts popped up one after another, Joes furrowed her brows and shook her head hard to calm her thoughts. No matter what, now was not the time to think about this. As for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, it would be up to him. It was useless for her to think about it here. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. The private detective had already begun to take action, and Chen Anna was not idle either. After confirming that Qiao si si also suspected that Yang Yue Yue and her partner were working together, she started her search in that direction. Although Chen Anna couldn¡¯t get into Jin Yupany, Lin ya and Huo yunshen could pick them up, which made it much more convenient. She also asked Lin ya to ask the female colleague who gave her the Ruby jewelry. She really didn¡¯t know. Then the problem was with the Secretary who had suddenly changed her mind. As Joes had initially said that the Secretary had something to deal with, the task of delivering the jewelry had finally fallen on her. In the end, when the incident happened, the Secretary said that she had never said such words. Chen Anna¡¯s fingers stroked her chin as she thought about how she could obtain evidence to prove joesse¡¯s innocence. ¡°Ding! Ding!¡± His phone suddenly vibrated twice, disrupting his thoughts. Chen Anna pursed her lips and took a look at her phone. Sure enough, it was because someone had sent another Weibo message. Ever since she had learned about what had happened on the inte from Lin ya, she had been paying attention to Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s Weibo. As long as there was a post, she would be reminded. Well ... This well-known female artiste hade out to stir up trouble again, and it was about the Ruby jewelry. Chen Anna opened Weibo and saw that Lin Xiu ¡®er had sent a long post. The general idea was that she had received all theizens¡¯ concern. Regarding this matter, she expressed that she was also very disappointed. She thought that they could be very good friends, but in the end, she was distracted by interests. Ju Ju put himself in a position of betrayal, and thest program of the vige of Jade was also released during this time. With the two added together, everyone thought that Qiao si si and Lin Xiu ¡®er had a very good rtionship. Chapter 138

Chapter 138: You still need my confession

In fact, Qiao sisi and Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t really talk much on the show. It was just that after the post-editing, Lin Xiu¡¯ er¡¯s voice was heard. It suddenly changed. When Chen Anna saw this Weibo post, she wanted to curse at how shameless he was. How could there be such a person who distorted ck and white? As Jossi¡¯s friend, she knew that the two of them did not have a good rtionship. However, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s Weibo post had almost written that Jossi was her best friend. She had even turned ck into white. She was really shameless. Chen Anna took a deep breath and clicked on thements. As expected, they were all ck Jossi, and even the vulgarities were a little unsightly and unpleasant to hear. There were also some people who stood on the moral high ground and judged that someone had stolen after only hearing Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s words. After casually flipping through it for a while, Chen Anna had already closed her phone with a gloomy face. Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er had gone too far. She had to find evidence to prove Qiao sisi¡¯s innocence! The private detective was also taking action, and Chen Anna¡¯s main purpose was to keep an eye on Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er. ¡­¡­¡­ In the huge shopping mall. ...... Chen Anna was wearing a rice-colored coat, a fisherman¡¯s hat, and even had light makeup on. She looked very different from her usual self. Not far in front of her, there was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, her makeup was also a lot thicker, quite a bit of amon taste. It was Yang Yue Yue. City h was only so big, and she knew where Yang Yue Yue usually went, so Chen Anna was very lucky to see her. He saw Yang Yue Yue holding a phone in her hand, frowning as she spoke to someone. ¡°Qi Lin, I advise you not to be too greedy. Don¡¯t forget what I did to you before. Do you want to experience it again?¡± Yang Yue Yue sneered. Upon hearing this, the Secretary, Qi Lin, was silent for a while before speaking. ¡°Then let¡¯s have a chat. I really need this money.¡± Yang Yue Yue smiled sarcastically. However, since all she wanted was money, it was fine to have a chat. She looked at the time on her watch and said casually,¡±¡±Then let¡¯s meet in an hour at dan ya caf¨¦. We can discuss it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After the two finished talking, Yang Yue Yue hung up the phone and kept it in her bag. Chen Anna had also heard their conversation. Although he did not hear Secretary Qi Lin¡¯s voice, he heard everything Yang Yue Yue said. It should be something rted to the theft. How lucky. Chen Anna lowered her hat a little, a smile on her face, and quickly followed Yang Yue Yue. However, they would not be too obvious. They would often find some cover to hide their figures and avoid being discovered. Yang Yue Yue had never thought that someone would be following her. She did not even think about it, so naturally, she would not pay special attention to this. After shopping at the mall for a while, Yang Yue Yue slowly walked towards the elegant coffee shop when she saw that it was almost time. Chen Anna saw this and quickly followed. Dan ya caf¨¦ was located in the center of city H. It was a rtively high-end caf¨¦, and the price was basically at least 100 yuan. Chen Anna and Qiao si had never been to this ce before, but at least they had heard of it and had some understanding of it. The caf¨¦¡¯s decorations were more of a ssical style, and the interior decorations were also antique. There was even a faint fragrance floating in the air, which made people feel rxed and happy. After Yang Yue Yue entered the caf¨¦, she found a seat by the window and sat down, leaning on a soft pillow behind her. After ordering two cups of mocha coffee, she sat down and started ying with her phone. Chen Anna, who had just entered the coffee shop, saw this scene and slightly pursed her lips. She had a premonition that, if she was not wrong, yang Yueyue should be looking at Weibo when she saw the sneer on her face. Weibo was now filled with the Ruby jewelry theft case, and there were many who were against Joes. Yang Yue Yue hated Qiao si si to the core, so naturally, she would seek the pleasure of revenge on such matters. She really did not know what to say. Chen Anna lowered her head and hugged her windbreaker, pretending to y with her phone as she walked past Yang Yue Yue. Fortunately, she was focused on her phone and didn¡¯t notice who had passed by her. If one paid close attention, one would be able to tell that she was Chen Anna. After finding a seat behind Yang Yue Yue, Chen Anna pulled on her hat and sat closer to her. As he sat down, he ced a small tapping device on Yang Yue Yue¡¯s back. In this way, the content of their conversation could be seen at a nce. Chen Anna smiled and ordered a ss of milk. She stirred it gently with a spoon and waited for her Secretary, Qi Lin, to arrive. Fortunately, they arrived very quickly, about five or six minutester, so they didn¡¯t have to wait long. Qi Lin was wearing a sexy ol suit, a pair of ck high heels, and a pair of rimless sses. She looked like a strong woman. Chen Anna looked away after a quick nce, in case she was discovered. Of course ... She did not Dodge on purpose. After all, Qi Lin had never seen her before. Only Yang Yue Yue knew what she looked like. ¡°Miss yang.¡± Qi Lin lifted her sses and sat opposite Yang Yue Yue. Yang Yue Yueughed.¡±Get straight to the point. How much do you want? if it exceeds my bottom line, don¡¯t me me!¡± Thest few words were spoken in a heavier tone. Qi Lin¡¯s smile gradually disappeared. She said,¡±¡±Miss yang, I don¡¯t want much. I¡¯ve been working for you, but you¡¯ve even threatened me with my family. I just want a few hundred thousand Yuan as a reward. That¡¯s not too much, right? I¡¯ve put in a lot of effort in the matter with Joss. ¡± She was right about this. If Qi Lin had not suddenly changed her words and said that she did not tell joesse that she had something to deal with and only asked her to Polish the script ... Most likely, Joes would not be taken away so quickly. At the very least, they would have to investigate further. Yang Yue Yue took a sip of her coffee, her beautiful face full of mockery,¡±¡±You also know that I dare to talk about your family. Aren¡¯t you afraid ... That I will attack you again?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go there before everything is settled. Miss yang won¡¯t do anything to me. After all, she still needs my statement. ¡°Qi Lin pursed her lips. Besides, miss yang is rich and generous, so she probably wouldn¡¯t care about such a small amount of money. She¡¯s not like that joesse, who is so vulgar and despicable. ¡± The Secretary used her usual method of ttering the high and stepping on the low. For people like Yang Yue Yue, the more you ttered her, the happier she would be. Her mood was much better now. Chapter 139

Chapter 139: A stain that can¡¯t be erased in a lifetime

This was because Yang Yue Yue hated Qiao si si the most. The two of them had been in contact since University. Due to the school¡¯s guaranteed entry, Yang Yue Yue had missed her chance because of Joes. Since then, Yang Yue Yue had always found her an eyesore. No matter what happened, she would always stick her nose into it, as if she could use this to create a sense of superiority. The enmity between the two of them was not something that had happened for a day or two. They were simply like fire and water. Chen Anna also knew this. After Yang Yue Yue heard Qi Lin¡¯s words, she yed with her delicate nails and said,¡±¡±Your words do make some sense.¡± Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Anna almost couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and wanted to step forward and expose them. It took her a long time to suppress the feeling. She took a deep breath and took a big gulp of milk to calm herself down. She thought about it for a long time but could not figure out how Yang Yue Yue could be so shameless. On the other side, Qi Lin smiled awkwardly. Her capable and experienced image had copsed, and her heart waspletely different from her appearance. ¡°Then ... Miss yang, the reward I asked for?¡± Qi Lin¡¯s eyes flickered as she spoke. Yang Yue Yue threw a check on the table,¡±¡±This is the down payment. I¡¯ll pay the rest after she¡¯spletely sentenced.¡± ¡°Okay, miss yang.¡± ...... Qi Lin hurriedly put the check into her bag and carefully hid it. He looked like he was in need of money, which made Chen Anna a little puzzled. She did not understand. As Xiang Jinyu¡¯s Secretary, how could Qi Linck money? He even looked like he was trying to please Yang Yue Yue. At first, Chen Anna thought that Yang Yue Yue had used her family to threaten Qi Lin, so she had no choice but to agree. However, it seemed that this was not the case. Chen Anna closed her eyes, the emotions in her eyes unclear. After thinking for a moment, she thought of the reason. Perhaps Qi Lin was not convinced at that time, but now that it had happened, what else could she do? The only thing he could do was to ept it. Under this premise, he would increase the benefits he could get. Xiang Jinyu would not know about this anyway. ¡°I¡¯ve also given you the money. Remember ... Insist that you didn¡¯t tell Joes that you had something to deal with, and don¡¯t expose me and Lin Xiu ¡®er.¡± Yang Yue Yue stood up and picked up her bag, speaking with a serious expression. Qi Lin nodded and agreed.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, miss yang. Since I¡¯ve received the reward, I¡¯ll definitely do my best.¡± The meaning behind her words was clear. The few of them would not rest until they had sent Joes to prison. Chen Anna¡¯s fists were clenched tightly by her side. ¡°Phew ...¡± She heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had ced the small listening device next to her. Everything should have been recorded. This would be crucial and decisive evidence! After Yang Yue Yue left, Qi Lin finished her coffee and left after sitting for a while. She did not find the so-called tapping device. Seeing that both of them had left, Chen Anna took off her hat and took back the bug. This was not a good ce to listen to the recording, so she naturally would not y it here. After finishing the milk, Chen Anna left with the bug. If Joes, who was in the guardhouse, knew about this, she would probably praise her good friend for growing up. It was a pity that the guards had not found anything even though Jossi had been here for almost a day. ¡°Guard, if you still can¡¯t find any evidence to prove my innocence within three days ... What will happen?¡± Joes asked with her lips slightly pursed, her heart could not help but worry. The guard nced at her and said,¡±¡±All the evidence points to you. If we can¡¯t find it, we can only sentence you.¡± He was judged! Those two words were like a huge hammer pounding on joesse¡¯s heart. Her breathing had stopped for a moment before she recovered. Pulling out an ugly smile, joesse said,¡±¡±Okay, I understand. Thank you.¡± After saying that, she leaned back in her seat. She hadn¡¯t slept for nearly a day and her head was a little swollen. He didn¡¯t know how much the outside world had investigated. What Qiao sisi did not know was that when this matter reached Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ears, he immediately rushed back to city H. They were still on the way, but they already knew the oue of the whole incident. On the private ne. Zheng Zeyi looked at theputer with a dark expression. On theputer was the information about the theft that his assistant had handed in. ¡°Where is she?¡± His voice was extremely low, and there was a suppressed anger in it. It was clear how angry Zheng Zeyi was at that moment. Assistant li couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. He was a little scared. After hearing his CEO¡¯s words, he thought for a moment and said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao has been taken to the guardhouse. The matter is still under investigation.¡± He did not finish his sentence. If he could not find any evidence to turn the situation around, then Joes would not be able to leave the detention center for a while. Furthermore, there would be an additional stain on his record, a stain that would never be erased in his life. Zheng Zeyi naturally knew about this as well. He squinted his eyes and said in a dangerous tone,¡±¡±Speed up. I want to return to city h by tonight.¡± ¡°This ...¡± Assistant li was a little embarrassed, but when he saw the look in his CEO¡¯s eyes, he instantly lost his temper. There was no other reason. His gaze was simply too terrifying. It was as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast. ¡°Yes, President.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Assistant Li said. Zheng Zeyi seemed to have suddenly recalled something and added,¡±¡±Also, continue to investigate that matter!¡± He didn¡¯t believe that there was no evidence at all. ¡°Yes!¡± After assistant li finished speaking, he left to handle some matters. Zheng Zeyi turned off hisputer and looked at the text message on his phone that he had typed a few times but had not sent out. He could not help but sigh. He looked out of the window with his Starry Eyes. The sunlight was rather blinding. Zheng Zeyi promised himself that he would definitely reach city h tonight and get Jossi to leave the detention center. ¡­¡­¡­ It was Sixo¡¯ clock in the evening. After Chen Anna took the eavesdropper, she rushed home and plugged it in to listen to the content. The recording was quite clear. With this, he was not afraid that they would not admit it. Chen Anna had been on the move for two days and finally showed a sincere smile. After so many days, she had finally found substantial evidence. Yang Yue Yue and the rest were not cautious enough, otherwise, she would not have been able to get hold of such important evidence. Thinking of this, Chen Anna let out a sigh of relief. Chapter 140

Chapter 140: If you have a Commission, you can find me

Chen Anna carefully ced the tapping device in a leather bag. This was evidence to prove that they had changed their words, and it could also prove Joes ¡®innocence. However, if they wanted to make people understand that this was all a self-directed act, they stillcked some strong evidence. Chen Anna thought for a while. Next, she had to start from Lin Xiu ¡®er. Compared to Yang Yue Yue, Lin Xiu ¡®er was much more difficult to deal with. As a well-known female star, she always brought bodyguards with her when she went out. Moreover, she had too many fans, so she couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Chen Anna¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She was stunned for a moment. She picked up the phone and took a look. It was the private detective she had foundst time. Did they find evidence? Thinking of this, Chen Anna quickly picked up the phone and asked,¡±¡±Hey, have you found any relevant evidence?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the male voice on the other end said.¡±We found the surveince footage of Shiyupany.¡± ¡°Surveince?¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. How did this private detective manage to monitor Jin Yupany? ...... Moreover, she remembered that the surveince camera seemed to have been destroyed, so there should not have been any records. The private detective chuckled.¡±Client, you¡¯re underestimating me. I¡¯m a hacker. The surveince camera was destroyed.¡± However, there are still some saved files in theputer. We can make a copy after finding them. ¡± What he meant was that he had hacked into Shiyu¡¯spany¡¯sputer. ... What an awesome person! Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but exim, and then she asked anxiously,¡±Then what did you find out? Did you find any crucial evidence in the surveince?¡± Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er were ruthless in their actions. They had even destroyed the surveince cameras. It could be that someone was sent to thepanyter on, or that the Secretary had secretly ced the Ruby on Jessi¡¯s desk and used it as evidence to nder her. If the detective found the surveince footage and there was such a scene, he could turn the tables! Thinking of this, Chen Anna became even more excited, and her eyes were filled with hope. However, the detective shattered this hope. He sighed and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry ... I didn¡¯t find the decisive evidence you mentioned, but there was a scene of your target talking to the Secretary.¡± Conversation? Chen Anna frowned. He was probably referring to the time when the Secretary told Chen Anna that she had something to deal with. ¡°Is the image clear? Can you analyze the shape of the person¡¯s mouth?¡± Chen Anna asked two questions in a row. The detective quickly gave an answer and said,¡±¡±Because of the angle, the image is very clear. I¡¯ll get someone to mark the mouth shape.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± After making an appointment with the detective at the coffee shop, Anna Chen hung up the phone. After two days of running around, she finally had a smile on her face. Now, things were going in a good direction as long as she had the recording and the surveince footage. Yang Yue Yue and her Secretary were definitely going to be used of lying. After all, this was a y directed and acted out by them. As for Lin Xiu ¡®er, he would leave her to Qiao si to handle. It was not like Lin Xiu¡¯ er was the only one who could control the direction of public opinion on the inte. Joes could do it too. When she left the guardhouse, she would be able to start on these matters. Chen Anna heaved a sigh of relief and left the house to continue following Yang Yue Yue. During this time, she discovered something that surprised her. With the clues given by the detective, as well as her own reasoning, she made a deduction. Thest time Qiao sisi returned to city h and was framed by Yang Yue Yue, it was very likely that Zheng Zeyi had something to do with it. ¡°I really ... Don¡¯t know what to say.¡± When Chen Anna made this deduction, she felt that her three views had been attacked. The gist of it was that the reason Yang Yue Yue had ndered Qiao Si was probably because Zheng Zeyi had exposed Qiao si behind her back. However, Chen Anna did not know the reason. She did not have high hopes for Zheng Zeyi. After all, there was a saying that birds of a feather flock together. It was also because she was biased against Yang Yue Yue, but Chen Anna did not like her. However, seeing that Zheng ze and Qiao si si were quite good to each other and often helped out, he did not say anything. She did not expect to find out about this matter. She did not even know if she should tell joesse about it. ¡°No, I can¡¯t hide this from sisi. I have to let her know.¡± Anna Chen mumbled and rushed to the coffee shop. After getting the evidence, he could go to the prison and rescue Joes. A few minutester, in the coffee shop, Anna Chen and the detective were sitting face to face with a brand new kraft paper bag on the table. The detective took a sip of coffee and pushed the kraft paper bag forward. He said,¡±¡±There¡¯s a USB sh drive and some evidence in the form of documents. It shouldn¡¯t be difficult to prove my innocence.¡± The matter had just happened not long ago, and Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er had overlooked quite a few ces. That was how they managed to take advantage of the loophole. If they had been a littleter, they would have probably all been disposed of, and finding them would have been as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Chen Anna took the kraft paper bag and tapped it twice with her fingers. After confirming the contents, she nodded and pushed an envelope over. Although the price of a private detective wasn¡¯t low, their efficiency was quite high, and the money spent was worth it. After Joes left the prison, she would definitely ask her to treat her to a big meal. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure working with you. You can find me if you have any more requests.¡± After the detective received the money, he turned around and left the caf¨¦. He had no intention of staying any longer. Chen Anna did not ask him to stay. If they worked together, there might be a chance next time. After sorting out the evidence in her hands, she rushed to the guard post, her eyes a little anxious. At that moment, neither Qiao si nor Chen Anna knew that Zheng Zeyi had already returned to city h and was even preparing to deal with this matter. ¡­¡­¡­ In the huge office. Zheng Zeyi looked at the documents in front of him with a dark expression. His expression only eased a little after assistant li had finished speaking. ¡°You¡¯re saying that her friend has already found the evidence and went to the detention center?¡± Zheng Zeyi was silent for two seconds before he spoke. A glint of light shed across his eyes, as well as some doubt. It seemed like Joes ¡®friend was quite capable. In just a few days, he found a clue that could prove his innocence. Assistant li quickly nodded.¡±¡±Yes, President. Ms. Qiao¡¯s friend has prepared the evidence. She should be able to hand it over to the security guard in less than ten minutes.¡± ¡°Good job.¡± A maic voice sounded. Chapter 141

Chapter 41: Chapter 41-something bad has happened

Zheng ze rarelyplimented someone, and assistant li was so touched that tears were about to flow down her face. She suddenly felt that what she had done was worth it. However, he also had a clearer understanding of the rtionship between his President and miss Qiao. Assistant li had been working for Zheng Zeyi for so many years, but he had never seen him care so much about a girl. He was basically just ying around. When Zheng ze found out about what happened to Qiao sisi, he rushed to city h without any dy. After a while, assistant li remembered something and asked,¡±¡±President, what should we do with the evidence we have?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s evidence was enough to prove her innocence, but it was still not enough topletely drag Yang Yue Yue and the others down. The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were overflowing with colors.¡±Find a chance to hand it over to the guards at the guardhouse. Just don¡¯t expose that it¡¯s US.¡± At this point, he paused and added,¡±¡±Also ... If they start retaliating on the inte, remember to give them a hand. Add more firewood to the fire.¡± When assistant li heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he immediately responded,¡±¡±Yes! President. ¡± With that, he left the president¡¯s office. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. The president¡¯s feelings for miss Qiao were really different. If it were any other woman, the president would not have done such a thing and would not even bother to care. Qiao sisi was the first, and perhaps the only, person who could make Zheng ze look at her differently. ...... After assistant li left the office, Zheng Zeyi sat on the executive chair and pushed the documents in front of him away. He turned on hisputer and saw that the inte was filled with people scolding Jossi, even her ancestors. His eyes darkened when he saw all these dirty words, and his expression was not very good. It seemed that this time, he really needed to use tougher means. He actually even did such a despicable thing. Since he had chosen to nder her, he had to bear the consequences! After turning off theputer, Zheng Zeyi already had an idea in mind. He exuded a low pressure, and his cold face was bathed in the soft light, adding some charm out of nowhere. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, in the city guard post in h city. Chen Anna rushed to the guard post with the evidence, not wanting to have any dy. Joes had already been in the detention center for such a long time. Since she had found evidence, she would definitely rescue the person at the first opportunity. After finding the guard in charge of the case, Chen Anna handed in all the evidence. ¡°I knew it!¡± The guard said angrily.¡±We were tricked by the Secretary who made a fake certificate!¡± His tone was filled with anger. Chen Anna was confused and couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Officer, what do you mean? I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying. ¡± The main thing was that the word ¡®as expected¡¯ made her a little confused. The guard calmed down and exined calmly. ¡°Before you came, a kind person used the inte to hand us the relevant evidence of the case. It¡¯s an inte caf¨¦ after checking its ip address, and the surveince cameras are broken. We can¡¯t find any evidence at all, but it¡¯s much moreplete than yours. ¡± Therefore, when they had received the evidence, the guards had conducted a check to confirm that it was true. Joes was indeed not the one who stole the Ruby. This was just a show directed and acted by Lin Xiu ¡®er and the others. If not for the fact that there was someone who could see through it, joesse would probably have been locked up. The guards were shocked when they found out the truth. However, they had seen many cases before and quickly calmed down. ¡°Sigh, so don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s already been proven. Your friend is innocent.¡± The security guard said. Chen Anna was stunned. Since when was there a kind person who would help with such a difficult matter? And he was ... Sisi¡¯s friend. Frowning slightly, Anna Chen thanked the guard,¡±¡±Thank you, officer. Since my friend¡¯s innocence has been proven, can she be released?¡± ¡°Yes, my colleague has already gone to bring her out.¡± The security guard nodded. That¡¯s great! An excited smile appeared on Anna Chen¡¯s face. She had finally saved sisi! Not long after, a security guard led a rather Haggard-looking joesse out. The day in the detention center was not difficult, but it was definitely much more torturous than the freedom outside. Upon seeing her familiar good friend, Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Anna!¡± The two of them hugged each other and buried their heads in each other¡¯s shoulders. They had not seen each other for only a day, but so many things had happened in such a short time. If not for Anna Chen¡¯s intelligence, who knew how long Joes would have been locked up in the prison before she could be released. ¡°Anna, thank you.¡± Joes revealed a sweet smile, and the gloominess on her face disappeared. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she couldn¡¯t make a move in the prison, she would have investigated this matter with Chen Anna. Unfortunately ... As a suspect, he could only be locked up in the interrogation room. Anna Chen quickly shook her head and patted Joes ¡®shoulder.¡±¡±What are you saying? we¡¯re best friends. This is what I should do.¡± After she finished speaking, she blinked her eyes and smiled yfully. The two of them were so lively when they first met that the two security guards at the sideughed. One of the security guards said apologetically,¡±¡±You two, regarding this matter, it¡¯s true that we didn¡¯t investigate it clearly. We should increase the manpower.¡± The security guard was a little old and had a daughter who was about the same age as joesse. Hence, when he found out that Joes had been ndered and that she looked so Haggard, he could not help but feel a little sorry for her. The other guard did the same and said,¡±¡±You two little girls, be more vignt in the future. Not everyone in society is good.¡± ¡°Thank you, officers.¡± Joes and Anna Chen looked at each other and thanked him in unison. After that, they left the guardhouse. As for the fake Secretary, she would soon be invited to the guard for tea. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment. Secretary Qi Lin was tidying up the documents that Xiang Jinyu needed for the meeting on her desk, but her eyelids suddenly twitched. A bad premonition welled up in her heart, causing her to be stunned for a moment. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The Secretary frowned, suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind, and continued to organize the documents. At that moment, a female colleague ran to her side in a hurry and said while panting,¡±¡±Sister ... Sister Qi, something bad has happened.¡± He said one sentence, but he did not get to the main point, which made him even more anxious. Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Never had such good luck

The bad feeling in Qi Lin¡¯s heart grew stronger. She pursed her lips and put down the document in her hand. She looked at her female colleague and said sternly,¡±¡±What are you panicking for? if you have something to say, just say it.¡± Perhaps it was because she was too anxious, the female colleague panted heavily and took a long time to return to normal. The female colleague frowned.¡±Sister Qi, there are a few police officers waiting outside. They ... They said they¡¯re looking for you. There¡¯s something.¡± Security? Qi Lin pondered for a while and then thought of joesse who was locked up in the guardhouse. Could something have happened? That should be the case, so he needed her to give some testimony. Thinking of this, Qi Lin was slightly relieved. She frowned.¡±¡±It¡¯s just a small matter. Did you forget that I¡¯m a witness for the theft? Don¡¯t be so hasty in the future. Since you¡¯re working for me, you have to follow my rules, do you hear me?¡± The female colleague lowered her head in a submissive manner.¡±Yes, sister Qi. I understand. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Qi Lin said indifferently. After she finished speaking, she handed the pile of documents in her hand to the female colleague. ¡°These are the documents that President Xiang will need for the meetingter. Give them to President Xiang first, I¡¯ll go and see what the police officers are up to.¡± ...... The female colleague nodded heavily.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, sister Qi. I¡¯ll definitely send the documents to President Xiang.¡± Xiang Jinyu was not only the president of thepany, but also a famous top designer in the jewelry design Circle. They were also existences that rarely made a move, and the moment they did, they usually made big orders. It was just that after entering the business circle in recent years, his reputation was not as good as before. Many people in the industry no longer mentioned it. However, those who were able to work in Jinyu¡¯spany had all heard of Xiang Jinyu. Almost all of them treated her as a goal to strive for. It was the same for the female colleagues. Of course, it was good to see her idol¡¯s face. She quickly went to the president¡¯s office on the top floor with the documents in her arms. Qi Lin tidied up her clothes and took the elevator downstairs in her seven-centimeter high heels, ready to meet the guards. At this moment, she had not thought about what she would face next. Several security guards in police uniforms were waiting at the entrance of thepany. When Qi Lin came in, they nodded at her. Seeing this, Qi Lin smiled and asked,¡±¡±May I know why the guards are looking for me?¡± ¡°There is.¡± One of the guards nodded. Just as Qi Lin was about to ask if it was about Joes, a pair of cold handcuffs were suddenly cuffed on her wrists. The cold feeling jolted her awake. ¡°Police officers, what are you doing?¡± Qi Lin was also a little flustered, but she forced herself to calm down. When Joes was taken away, she was still in a state of watching a good show. But now that it was her turn, she couldn¡¯t be happy. ¡°Qi Lin,¡± a guard said sternly,¡±you¡¯re suspected of falsifying evidence and interfering with the Guard¡¯s investigation. Follow us immediately.¡± After saying that, the security guards were about to take Qi Lin out of Shiyupany. Qi Lin finally panicked and said,¡±¡±Police officers ... Police officers, you can¡¯t do this. You can¡¯t just take me away.¡± If she was given some buffer time, she might even be able to send a message to Yang Yue Yue or Lin Xiu ¡®er. After all, this was done by the three of them, so they naturally couldn¡¯t bear the responsibility alone. However, who knew that the guards would arrive so quickly, catching everyone off guard. After all, the evidence was irrefutable. Whether it was a video or a voice recording, it was irrefutable evidence. There was no hope of aeback. Themotion at Qi Lin¡¯s side was so big that it attracted the attention of many colleagues in thepany. As the president¡¯s Secretary, most of the people in thepany knew her and had basically seen her before. ¡°Wait? Isn¡¯t that Secretary Qi? Why are they cuffed by the police officers? did something happen?¡± A female colleague couldn¡¯t help but say. Another personughed.¡±I think I¡¯ve done something wrong. Do you still remember what happened with Joes?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right ... For no reason, why would the police spend so much effort to arrest her? they must have found evidence.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The colleagues discussed in hushed voices. They were all eager to curry favor with Qi Lin, but they changed their minds at the critical moment. Everyone acted as if the matter had nothing to do with them, and no one stood up to say anything. Of course, there were also some quick-witted people who quickly ran up to inform Xiang Jinyu. However, Qi Lin¡¯s struggles were in vain. She was quickly taken away by the guards, and Xiang Jinyu found out about this. ¡°What happened?!¡± Xiang Jinyu furrowed his brows tightly, his white fingers holding the cup. The junior Assistant stood at the side with her head lowered, not saying a word. After a long silence, she couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±President, it¡¯s like this. I heard that si ... Joesse has already left the detention center.¡± ¡°He left?¡± Xiang Jinyu was a little confused. He was sure that she was a thief, but the detention center asked her to leave. Furthermore, he had gone through the trouble ofing to Shiyupany and taking away the so-called witness, Qi Lin. The matter was already very obvious. Xiang Jinyu was not an idiot. At this point, she could tell what was going on, and her expression was extremely ugly. His Secretary had been by his side for so many years, and Xiang Jinyu had never expected such a thing to happen. But now, she had to believe it. ¡°Get the car ready, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Xiang Jinyu said with a calm expression. It was impossible to tell what he was feeling. ¡°Yes, President,¡± the assistant nodded. After that, he left the office to prepare the car. Ever since Chen Anna handed the evidence to the guards, not to mention Qi Lin, even Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t escape. However, there wasn¡¯t much evidence about Lin Xiu ¡®er, and it couldn¡¯t prove that she was also one of the masterminds of this matter, unless Qi Lin and the other person exposed her. He just didn¡¯t know if the possibility was high. Yang Yue Yue was also invited by the guards to the guardhouse for tea. It was her family who helped her and took her away. As for his Secretary, Qi Lin, she was not so lucky. She did not have the family backing Yang Yue Yue. If he did, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a state now. Although Yang Yue Yue was vicious, her cousin was Zheng Zeyi. Their rtionship was not particrly good, but the rtionship between rtives was like a huge. Even if he didn¡¯t help, old master Zheng would help him. Therefore, Yang Yue Yue actually had some status and was not easy to deal with. ¡­¡­¡­ In the evening. After Joes and Chen Anna left the guardhouse, they went to her residence to rest. Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Don¡¯t do anything rash

With regards to the rumors on the inte, joesse finally saw how vicious these people¡¯s words were. It was like a sword dipped in poison, stabbing straight into one¡¯s heart. Joesse pulled them down one by one and looked at them in shock. She really admired these people¡¯s words. If she didn¡¯t know that she didn¡¯t steal anything, she would have believed it. ¡°Sisi, stop looking. Those people are bad. Now, let¡¯s think about how to drag Lin Xiu ¡®er down.¡± Chen Anna said after thinking for a while. She felt that this was the most important thing at the moment. There wasn¡¯t much evidence found about Lin Xiu ¡®er, and the key was that she couldn¡¯t find any traces of famous female celebrities. It was not easy to get a detective to find her. At that time, he said that the period was too long, so he was busy getting Joes out. Chen Anna did not dwell on this matter for too long. However, things were different now. He was already out, so he had the energy to cause trouble. Since Lin Xiu ¡®er had poured dirty water on them, how could they not return the favor? ¡°It¡¯s just a Weibo post, who doesn¡¯t know how to do it? I¡¯ll post one now, and Anna, you can find someone to promote and repost it. ¡± Joes was rather eager to give it a try. Anna Chen snapped her fingers and said,¡±¡±Of course, no problem.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er wasn¡¯t the only one who knew how to kill with a borrowed knife. The article was written with reason and evidence, and there were some short videos attached, such as the video of Qi Lin being taken away by the guards ... ...... Wanting to pull Lin Xiu ¡®er down the stage simply couldn¡¯t be any easier. ¡°However, I heard that there¡¯s a big Shot behind Lin Xiu ¡®er. It seems that it¡¯s because of this that it helped her be popr again.¡± After saying that, Joes tapped the table lightly and thought about the feasibility of this n. If the heat was suppressed, the effect would be greatly reduced. He just didn¡¯t know who the big boss was. If he knew his identity, it would be easier to handle. Anna Chen shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said,¡±After all, it¡¯s impossible for us to not do anything at all. Lin Xiu ¡®er has already touched our bottom line this time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Joesse nodded her head and her long, white fingers tapped on the keyboard at an extremely fast speed. Because she had been exposed to this kind of work more often, she had naturally practiced her speed. Apart from that, joesse¡¯s writing style was also very good. Throughout the entire article, there were no obvious criticisms in each sentence, but it made people feel the same way. It was as if he was the one who had been wronged. After she finished writing, Joes looked through it once and cut out some parts. After she felt that there were no problems, she passed theputer to Anna Chen. ¡°So fast?¡± Chen Anna said in surprise, then took theputer and looked at it from beginning to end. She couldn¡¯t help but raise her thumb and praise,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re really something. Needles hidden in cotton, ups and downs. I¡¯ll find someone to promote it now!¡± After clicking ¡°publish,¡± Chen Anna began to find people to repost the Weibo post, even pushing it to some popr software. This could also increase the poprity of the incident and let more people know about it. However, the public rtions department on Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s side also reacted very quickly. They directly blocked the news. The manager frowned and wanted to reprimand her, but there was still someone supporting Lin Xiu ¡®er behind her, so he couldn¡¯t say it directly. ¡°Sister Xiu ¡®er, did you also participate in the theft?¡± he asked after some thought. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes flickered a little. She lowered her head and yed with her mobile phone to hide her abnormality.¡±No... I didn ¡®t. Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯m the victim.¡± If Qiao sisi and the rest did not post an article, the most they would have done was to drag Qi Lin and yang Yueyue out. However, once a righteous article was published, coupled with some evidence, as well as Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s ck material, the matter had beenpletely reversed. Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t know about this yet, so when her manager asked her, she was a little flustered. ¡°Sigh ... Sister Xiu ¡®er, you don¡¯t know this, but the inte has already exposed you. You¡¯re with Xiang Jinyu, director Xiang¡¯s Secretary, and a woman called yang Yueyue.¡± The manager sighed. Seeing that Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t admit it, he had no other choice but to remind her. ¡°What?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened, and she directly stood up from the sofa. She was stunned for a long time and didn¡¯te back to her senses. How was that possible? She and Yang Yue Yue had done this very secretively, so how could they have been found out? The more she thought about it, the more flustered Lin Xiu ¡®er became. She swallowed her saliva and hurriedly picked up her mobile phone to open Weibo. The top trending search was the Ruby theft case! ¡°How could this be ...¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes revealed a look of despair as she looked at her phone in a daze. The manager frowned slightly and said,¡±¡±Sister Xiu ¡®er, what happened? Thepany¡¯s public rtions have already suppressed it. There aren¡¯t many posts on Weibo, mainly on some social media tforms, so it¡¯s mentioned more. ¡± ¡°Take a look for yourself!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Her voice was extremely sharp as she threw the phone at her manager. The manager was very dissatisfied with her situation. He nced at her and picked up the phone on the ground. Thepany¡¯s public rtions had already dealt with it, and Weibo had already ... Wait! What was this? The manager¡¯s originally nonchnt eyes were suddenly attracted to it. He looked at the hot search list for a long time, unable toe back to his senses. It was about the jewelry theft case. ¡°That¡¯s impossible, thepany has already dealt with it!¡± The manager said in disbelief. He also did not know if he was saying it for Lin Xiu ¡®er to hear or for himself to hear so as to give psychologicalfort. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s face became a little distorted. She pointed at her manager and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that thepany has already dealt with it? But why did this news still appear on the trending list? did they deal with it?¡± She had never thought that things would be exposed. In fact, she had already let her guard down since the beginning. Even Joes had been locked up in the prison, so how could she still have a chance to turn things around? Lin Xiu ¡®er clenched her teeth tightly. When she thought of the person behind her, a bit of hope appeared in her heart. Only that person could save her now. This hot search must not be acknowledged by everyone! ¡°Give me the phone!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s voice was sharp. After saying that, the manager helplessly handed her phone back to her and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t do anything stupid. I¡¯m going to thepany to discuss how to deal with this matter. There must be a way to solve this. Hengyuan won¡¯t just sit back and do nothing. Don¡¯t worry too much. ¡± After consoling her with a few words, the manager left the apartment in a hurry and went to thepany to find someone in the public rtions department to deal with it. Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Isn¡¯t this good?

What the manager didn¡¯t see was that after he left, a cold light shed in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes. Joss...This article must have been written by her, that B * tch. The screen of his phone stopped at the post on Weibo¡¯s top search list. It was the long article that joesse had rushed out. Now, it seemed that it had some effect. Lin Xiu ¡®er grabbed her mobile phone, tidied up her hair, and also wrote a short essay, which was nothing more than an exnation for herself. As soon as the short essay was sent out, it caused a sensation among the public. One had to know that in joesse¡¯s article, there was a lot of real evidence, the kind that could be found with a simple search on the inte. As soon as Lin Xiu ¡®er posted it, she was scolded by a group ofizens, saying that she was an ¡°innocent¡± White Lotus. In the beginning, he even deceived his feelings and deceived the public. Now that the truth of the matter had appeared, even if Lin Xiu ¡®er was given more courage, she would not dare to stab joesse in the back as righteously as before. As a public figure, the most important things were reputation and face. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t be able to find any good scripts or invitations to some TV shows. It didn¡¯t matter how strong your background was. Because your reputation might affect the reputation of the entire show. ...... Lin Xiu ¡®er was considered to have fallen for it this time. ¡°Why ... Why?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er looked at theizens who keptmenting on the screen, and her face was distorted with anger. These people were clearly on her side in the beginning, but after only a few days, they changed sides at thest minute. None of them were good things! ¡®Lin Xiu¡¯ er thought viciously. Joes¡¯s face appeared in her mind, and she wished she could take a small knife and scratch that face. However, it was only a delusion now. Not to mention her, even Yang Yue Yue found it difficult to protect herself. Qi Lin was the most miserable one. Xiang Jinyu went to see her and gave uppletely. He was ready to clean up thepany¡¯s internal department. It was naturally impossible to say that there was no one behind this. Zheng Zeyi was involved in most of the matters, adding fuel to the fire. He was also the one who secretly pressured Yang Yue Yue¡¯s family. To do such a thing, so what if she was his cousin? He would not let off anyone who dared to bully Joes. ¡­¡­¡­ At this time, in Chen Anna¡¯s apartment. It was alreadyte at night, but the two of them didn¡¯t go to sleep. Instead, they continued to work on the inte. ¡°Sisi ... Oh my God, we actually resonated with so many people?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up. Upon hearing that, joesse quickly shifted her gaze to theputer screen. There were hundreds of thousands of people whomented on her article, and there were even thousands or tens of thousands of people who reposted the article. ¡°Not bad!¡± Joes gasped in admiration. She had prepared several alternate ounts to put Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s other evidence on. For example, the affair. Of course, she would not write Zheng Zeyi¡¯s name and would try her best to cover it up. She would only expose Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s true colors to the public. What the two of them did not know was that if Zheng Zeyi had not ordered assistant li to do something ... The poprity of their article had probably been suppressed long ago, and it was impossible for it to reach such a level. One must know that the public rtions department of Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s managementpany was still very powerful. Basically, everything could be handled very well. Unfortunately, he had met Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Sisi, what other evidence have you prepared?¡± Chen Anna asked curiously when she saw the alt ounts. Upon hearing this, joesse did not hide anything from her. She directly told him about Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s affair. Anyway, she was the one in the wrong, not Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Cheating?!¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes widened. She really didn¡¯t think of this. She didn¡¯t expect that Lin Xiu ¡®er and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s breakup would hide such a big secret. Qiao si si nodded and said,¡±Lin Xiu ¡®er can¡¯t control herself. That¡¯s why she was popr for a while. After that, she disappeared from the entertainment industry.¡± It took about one or two years for them to recover and find a new big Boss behind them. Now, they¡¯re frequently participating in various programs. ¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Chen Anna nodded and added a few sentences in the article, which made her even more satisfied. Joes looked at her suspiciously,¡±¡±What did you write in there?¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help butugh,¡±¡±Isn¡¯t it too easy to just write one for her? Write a few more so that she can¡¯t turn over. Anyway, it¡¯s a fact that she cheated on me. No matter what, since one of them has been proven, it doesn¡¯t matter if the others are real or fake. ¡± After saying that, Chen Anna raised her eyebrows and asked,¡±¡±Do you think what I said makes sense, sisi?¡± ¡°That makes sense, that makes sense.¡± Joes nodded helplessly. In any case, she didn¡¯t have any thoughts of showing mercy to Lin Xiu ¡®er. She wasn¡¯t a Holy Mother who returned good for evil. If not for Anna Chen¡¯s help, Joes would have long been locked up in the prison. Moreover, it was very likely that he would be proven to be a thief. Even if he was released after being locked up for a period of time, the impact would be huge. Even a fool like Joes would know this. It was hard for her to ept that there was a stain on her record, and it was even difficult for her to find a jewelry designpany. When he started his own business, there would only be onement from the outside world. The boss of thatpany used to be a thief. Qiao si si would not allow such a thing to happen, so she would retaliate in the way Lin Xiu ¡®er and the others treated her! ¡°Then I¡¯ll send it out.¡± After she finished speaking, she clicked ¡°publish¡± on the screen. Only when these few articles were published did they thoroughly push Lin Xiu ¡®er into the abyss. Once a famous female star like her was in trouble, who knew how many people would want to hit her when she was down? In just a few minutes, the impact was incalcble. Joes used her mouse to scroll through the page and mumbled softly,¡±¡±Am I seeing things? Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s public rtions department was so useless? They didn¡¯t even try to stop me after I posted it?¡± When joesse had posted about the theft case, the public rtions department had deleted a lot of it, so that Weibo was quiet. It was only after Chen Anna found someone to promote it that it had such an effect. However, after these few articles were published, it was like dripping water. The public rtions department acted as if they had no idea. Anna Chen didn¡¯t care at all. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Isn¡¯t that good? Who cares what they want to do? we just have to do what we want to do. ¡± Their gazes were very simple. They just had to pull Lin Xiu ¡®er off the stage. Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Did you go back to get your luggage?

Hearing that, Joes revealed a faint smile.¡±¡±You¡¯re right, I¡¯m just a little suspicious. ¡± They suppressed this strange feeling in their hearts and began to promote these articles. After more than half an hour, it finally reached the second most searched spot, causing a huge sensation. Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and theizens were in an uproar. Bronze Saint Seiya: I didn¡¯t expect my goddess to do such a thing. She¡¯s no longer a fan! Pigsy: ¡°I¡¯m so shocked! I¡¯ve never seen such a shameless person before! And she¡¯s even a famous female celebrity!¡± The evidence had already been released. He had done all the framing and cheating, so what right did he have to be a public figure? Cucumber: ¡°the person above is right. After I read the article, I really feel that my three views have been corrected.¡± Sisi Nannan-sister sisi is innocent! In the end, he was even locked up in the prison. How did the world be like this? ¡­¡­¡­ There were many people criticizing Lin Xiu ¡®er, almost taking up two-thirds of all thements. This time, there were many people who were on the side of observing and did not believe the evidence released by both sides. Thest time she was in trouble, thements were almost one-sided, all saying that the thief deserved to die. ...... But this time? Jossi was toozy to mobilize these people. Since she didn¡¯t believe him, then she didn¡¯t have to believe him. Anyway, she had already achieved her goal, so she didn¡¯t care about these things. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± While he was looking at hisputer, his phone suddenly vibrated twice. The screen lit up and it was a text message. Joes was slightly taken aback. She picked up her phone and read the text message. As expected, it was from Zheng Zeyi. Seeing his message again after two days, she felt as if it had been a lifetime. Zheng Zeyi,¡±are you alright?¡± I¡¯m back in city H. The message was very simple, only this short sentence. A sense of warmth bloomed in Joes ¡®heart as she replied to him about her current situation, expressing that she was doing well. ¡°Sisi ...¡± Chen Anna was holding two apples. When she saw that she was texting Zheng ze, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Jossi raised her head and looked at her in confusion.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°No, nothing.¡± Upon seeing this, Joes furrowed her brows but did not ask anything. Instead, she said,¡±¡±I might have to think carefully about whether I should go back to work at Jinyu.¡± It wasn¡¯t Xiang Jinyu¡¯s fault, but that part of her body made her feel ufortable. Now that Joes had some assets, she wanted to reconsider this matter. If he couldn¡¯t ept it, he would leave Shiyu and go to otherpanies. The world was so big, there must be a ce for her. ¡°Sisi, I support your decision.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes flickered. After saying this, she put the Apple on the table and turned to leave. Regarding Yang Yue Yue¡¯s matter, even though she had already made up her mind to tell joesse about it ... However, at this moment, he was still a little hesitant and found it difficult to speak. Chen Anna sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time. Just as she made up her mind, Joes came to her side. ¡°You have something to tell me?¡± Joes saw through her best friend¡¯s thoughts with a single nce. After living together for so many years, he could still see this abnormality. Chen Anna pursed her lips and nodded slightly,¡±¡±I do have something to tell you, but I don¡¯t know ... If I should say it.¡± Joes took a bite of the Apple and smiled. ¡°When did you be so indecisive?¡± Anna Chen thought about it and agreed. She was only reminding Joes not to fall for the scumbag¡¯s trap. There was no need to do this. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll be direct.¡± Chen Anna cleared her throat, put on a straight face, and told him everything, from the detective to the clues. In particr, the clue was exined in detail, in case they didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°So ... I think this is just Zheng Zeyi¡¯s way of forcing you to return to city H. However, it¡¯s just my spection.¡± Chen Anna said word by word. There was a moment of silence, only the sound of the wind blowing in from outside the window. It was so quiet that it was as if no one was there. Anna Chen nced at Joes. Her head was slightly lowered, so her eyes could not be seen. She did not know what emotions she was feeling. ¡°Sisi, are you okay?¡± Chen Anna asked worriedly. Joes raised her head and smiled.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. I still have to thank you for telling me about this.¡± ¡°This is nothing. It¡¯s something I should do. I can¡¯t hide it from you.¡± Chen Anna shook her head. Although she looked fine now, Chen Anna was still a little worried. Because the two of them seemed to have some emotional Foundation. The next moment, Joes stood up with a determined expression and walked towards the door. ¡°I¡¯m going to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment to get my things back. Anna, wait for me here for a while. ¡± His tone was extremely firm, and he emphasized the words ¡°Zheng Zeyi.¡± ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re going back to get your luggage?¡± Chen Anna quickly walked over. ¡°Yes.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were firm. Before Anna Chen mentioned this, she would never have thought of Zheng Zeyi. But what was the result? Reality had given her a heavy blow. At the thought of this, Qiao SI¡¯s lips curled into a bitter smile. To think that she had thought that her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi had improved recently. This kind of person ... How could it be possible? If Zheng Zeyi had not exposed joesse, so many things would not have happened. The more he thought about it, the more his nose felt sour. Joes suppressed her emotions and quickly left the apartment after bidding Chen Anna goodbye. The night breeze was slightly chilly, and she was only wearing a thin coat, but the cold wind also made her more awake. The light from the streetmps was soft, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. As Joes walked, she could not help but hug her clothes. Only then did she feel morefortable. Her interactions with Zheng Zeyi during this period of time also surfaced in her mind. However, after he exposed his actions to Yang Yue Yue, Joes could not choose to believe him. Even the so-called fianc¨¦ and fianc¨¦e, was it just a conspiracy? However, she wasn¡¯t sure. It was a ten-minute drive, but Joes walked on foot for more than half an hour. Her mood had also calmed down a lot. She was rtively calm, but she still felt inevitably disappointed. When she heard those words from Anna Chen, Joes knew that some things had changed and could no longer be changed. Chapter 146

Chapter 46: I¡¯m the one who found people to promote it

¡°Sigh ...¡± Joes sighed slightly and looked at the familiar apartment building in front of her with aplicated expression. She hoped that Zheng Zeyi was not in the apartment. With this thought in mind, Joes walked to the apartment and took the elevator up. She then stood in front of the door and opened it with her key. The apartment was very quiet and dark. It didn¡¯t seem like there was anyone there. Joes heaved a sigh of relief and turned on the light at the side. However, she was shocked by the figure in front of her. She did not want Zheng Zeyi to be sitting on the soft sofa not far away. Zheng ze leaned against the soft pillow on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. He did not even have the time to change out of his suit, as if he was waiting for her toe back. How was that possible? Joesughed bitterly and took two steps forward. When she switched on the lights, a certain someone had already woken up. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± A flirtatious voice sounded. Zheng Zeyi slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were extremely bright and captivating, making others reluctant to look away. After a long time, Jossi forced herself to look away. ...... After all, the guy in front of him was too demonic. He really couldn¡¯t resist his charm. ¡°Yes.¡± Joes replied indifferently, appearing rather calm. If it were any other time, she might have felt touched that the high and mighty President of the Zheng Corporation was actually waiting for her toe home. However, after finding out the truth from Anna Chen, Joes no longer felt that way. Sensing her abnormality, Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly and said in a low voice,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Is there anything else that hasn¡¯t been resolved?¡± ¡°No.¡± After saying that, Qiao si raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi.¡±Let me ask you, did you expose me to Yang Yue Yue, causing me to be framed?¡± ... Silence, a dead silence. As soon as he said that, the two of them fell silent. Their eyes met in the air, and they did not say a word. After a long time, Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips and said,¡±¡±Where did you hear that from?¡± He didn¡¯t refute, but he didn¡¯t admit it either. However, for some reason, Qiao si felt that he had admitted to it. He admitted that he had told Yang Yue Yue about the matter, which led to the chain of events that followed. A strange feeling welled up in her heart, but Joes suppressed it. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about where I found out, and you don¡¯t need to know. It has nothing to do with you. And I have one more thing to say. From today onwards, I¡¯m no longer living in the apartment. ¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes turned cold and he squinted slightly.¡±¡±Where are you going?¡± Joes immediately turned around and returned to her room. Without turning her head, she said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t need to tell you where I¡¯m going, right?¡± In any case, the two of us are only pretending to be fianc¨¦, and there¡¯s no emotional Foundation at all. In addition to Zheng ze¡¯s death, it was even more impossible for the two of them to be together. By the time joesse returned to her room and packed her luggage, it was alreadyte at night. She did not want to stay in this apartment for another night. She pushed the suitcase, and the wheels of the suitcase rolled on the ground, making a loud noise. When she arrived at the living room, Qiao si realized that Zheng Zeyi had not gone to sleep. Instead, he was sitting on the sofa with his head lowered, deep in thought. ¡°You ...¡± Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet? She was about to blurt out this sentence, but Joes swallowed it back down. From now on, there was no longer a need for them to keep in touch. In the beginning, he had agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦ and fianc¨¦e¡¯s marriage for Yang Yue Yue. Yang Yue Yue had also learned her lesson. It was time for her to stop for a while. At the thought of this, Joes sighed slightly and pushed her luggage away. Just as her hand was on the doorknob, a voice suddenly came from behind her. ¡°Wait,¡± His voice was as maic as ever, and it tugged at one¡¯s heartstrings. Joes¡¯s heart trembled, but her eyes became more determined. No matter what, she would not stay in the apartment anymore. After a series of steady footsteps, Zheng Zeyi was already standing beside her, looking a little Haggard. ¡°Are you really leaving?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked. Joesse forced herself not to look at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face and nodded heavily.¡±Yes, I¡¯m leaving.¡± After a moment of silence, Zheng ze pursed his lips and a glint shed across his eyes.¡±¡±Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll satisfy you. You can go.¡± When she heard that, Qiao si looked up at Zheng Zeyi, her expression a little stunned. However, when she thought of what Chen Anna said, this feeling gradually disappeared. She pushed her suitcase and left the apartment without even saying goodbye. ¡°Squeak ...¡± The door to the apartment slowly closed. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes were filled withplicated emotions as he watched this scene. Did he think about this before he returned to city h? ¡®Perhaps not.¡¯ Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze, but he already had a n in his heart. Joes wanted to leave? He could, but he would make her return to city h and return to his side sooner orter. ¡­¡­¡­ The night breeze was slightly cold. Joes pushed her luggage back to Chen Anna¡¯s apartment. After she closed the door, she ced her luggage at the entrance and shouted,¡±¡±Anna, are you asleep?¡± ¡°Not yet!¡± A woman¡¯s voice came out of the room, and then Chen Anna ran out of the room, waving a family bucket in her hand. ¡°How¡¯s the supper I prepared? Come on, let¡¯s discuss what we should do next. ¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Controlling public opinion on the inte to deal with Lin Xiu ¡®er was a way to vent her anger. She felt that she wouldn¡¯t feel tired even if she posted on Weibo for an entire night. One had to know how miserable Joes had been just a day ago. That would be even more miserable than the current Lin Xiu ¡®er. It was almost to the point where everyone wanted to beat him up, like a street rat. However, Lin Xiu ¡®er was different. She had a powerful Big Boss behind her, and even a managementpany. All of these could help her reduce the pressure, so what Chen Anna wanted to do was to make things moreplicated. If more people knew about it, even if the matter was suppressed in the future, there would probably not be many people who would be Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s fans. Upon seeing this, Joes could not help but reveal a smile. ¡°Alright, I¡¯lle over now.¡± After saying that, she changed into a pair of pink rabbit slippers and pushed the suitcase into the room. Then, she saw the continuous beeping on theputer screen. It seemed that there were many replies. Chen Anna also went back to her room with a family bucket. She was holding a chicken leg in her hand and eating it with satisfaction. ¡°These are thements I got from my people to promote the Weibo post. They¡¯ve been ringing non-stop since just now.¡± Chapter 147

Chapter 147: It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine

At this point, Chen Anna paused and sighed,¡±¡±Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?¡± At the next moment, Joes shattered her dream.¡±¡±It¡¯s because my writing is too good. It¡¯s fascinating. ¡± The two of them teased each other for a while and finally brought up the main point. There were too many doubts buried in Chen Anna¡¯s heart regarding the return of Joes to Zheng ze¡¯s family. Of course ... She wouldn¡¯t ask if it was too much. ¡°Sisi, what did Zheng Zeyi say after you went back?¡± Chen Anna was constantly paying attention to the expression on her friend¡¯s face. If she found anything wrong, she would immediately shut up. Joesse¡¯s fingers on the keyboard paused, and she said softly,¡±¡±We didn¡¯t say much. What do I have to say to him?¡± ¡°What?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes showed that she didn¡¯t believe him. After all, she had some eyesight. How could there not be a little ambiguity in the actions of the two a few days ago? Moreover, it was during that period of time that Chen Anna saw that Zheng ze and her good friends were quite good, so she did not say anything. Even though she hated Zheng Zeyi. Looking at Chen Anna¡¯s expression, Joes said helplessly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t look at me like that. I really didn¡¯t say that to him. ...... She was also very forthright and directly let me leave. Anna, my rtionship with him has not reached that stage, so you can rest assured. ¡± After saying that, he even patted his chest and promised. Since she had already said so, Chen Anna could not say anything more. After all, no matter what, this was Jossi¡¯s personal matter. She could give her opinion, but she could not interfere too much. In the next two hours, the two of them ate the family bucket and guided the public opinion on the inte. Now, almost all theizens knew about this matter, and they tried their best to promote it in many ces. There were even manyments from the official Weibo ounts of the entertainment circle. Most of them didn¡¯t believe in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s character. There was also a small group of people who wanted to help Lin Xiuren in her hour of need and take this opportunity to help her. They allmented, and the general idea was that the innocent would know their ce. In the end ... None of these people were left out, and all of them were med by the vast number ofizens. The truth had already been released, but they were still lying through their teeth. Theizens were not fools, except for a small number of anti-fans and those who were not clear-headed. Basically, they were all on Jossi¡¯s side, using Lin Xiu ¡®er of her character. A person who could frame and nder others had no right to stand on the public stage. When it was almost dawn, the sky was not as dark as it had been earlier. It was already two in the morning. ¡°It¡¯sfortable,¡± Joes could not help but sigh when she saw that everything was under her control. The gloominess in her mood had also been swept away. If Zheng Zeyi¡¯s incident had not happened, she might have been even happier. Unfortunately, the n could not keep up with the changes. Chen Anna threw The Empty Family can into the trash can, gently rubbed her eyebrows, and yawned.¡±¡±Sisi, can we rest now? I¡¯m so sleepy, but I¡¯m basically done now. I¡¯ll just have to clean it up tomorrow. ¡± Things went much smoother than they had expected. In just a few hours, they had already achieved the expected results. He didn¡¯t need to worry about it now. He would continue to see the effect tomorrow. ording to the current poprity, it shouldn¡¯t be suppressed. Qiao si si and Chen Anna did not know that without Zheng Zeyi¡¯s help, it would have been settled by Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s managementpany a long time ago. He wasn¡¯t a freeloader, and he had done an excellent job in public rtions. Otherwise, how could Lin Xiu ¡®er, who had so many scandals and even had an affair with Zheng Zeyi, still be able to survive now? ¡°Let¡¯s rest. I¡¯m also preparing to rest. ¡± Joes replied. After saying that, she turned off herputer, but she suddenly thought of tomorrow¡¯s events. Right now, she was still an employee of Jinyupany. Tomorrow was a working day. Now that something like this had happened, how could she continue to stay in Jinyupany? Joes¡¯s expression was ratherplicated, but after thinking about this, her sleepiness dissipated. Shiyu ... Even if he resigned, it would be fine. There would always be a ce where he could ept her. ¡°Then resign.¡± Initially, she had wanted to mention this to Chen Anna. However, seeing that she was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed, he didn¡¯t disturb her. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. The inte was still filled with smoke, and everyone was ming Lin Xiu ¡®er. Seeing that they were scolding her so ruthlessly, Joes turned off herputer in relief and went to thepany with her prepared resignation letter. As for Anna Chen, she also got up early to go to work. ¡°Meat buns! It¡¯s one Yuan each, the meat filling is delicious!¡± A middle-aged woman from a roadside stall shouted. Her stall was selling meat buns. Joes took a look at them and instantly felt her appetite stir. After eating two buns, he slowly walked towards Shiyupany. Perhaps it was because she had made a decision, or perhaps it was because of something else, but Jossi was not sad at all. In fact, she felt a little at ease. After entering the Jin Yu. Thepany was still the same as usual. Many employees who passed by greeted Jossi. As long as they were not on their phones, they basically knew that Qi Lin was arrested by the guards because she had perjured herself for the jewelry theft. In fact, this was a show that she and Lin Xiu ¡®er had directed and acted out. She heard that Qi Lin had been removed from thepany and cklisted. She would never be hired again. This was Xiang Jinyu¡¯s attitude. When she returned to the office, her colleagues were still familiar faces. Joes smiled and greeted them one by one. However, she was still very vengeful. Whenever someone she knew said something about her behind her back, she would pretend that she didn¡¯t see it. For example, the female colleague who had said those vicious wordsst time. ¡°Tsk.¡± The female colleague snorted coldly. She did not even bother to greet Jessi. Who was she? Even if it wasn¡¯t a thief, it couldn¡¯t be anything good. It was not that joesse did not notice her expression, but that she was toozy to care. ¡°Little ya.¡± A voice came from behind Lin ya. She looked up in surprise and saw Joes ¡®beautiful face. ¡°Sisi,¡± she said excitedly.¡±You¡¯ve been rescued?¡± Joesse nodded slightly, agreeing to his words. It was Chen Anna who saved her. If it wasn¡¯t for her, she would probably be in prison now, and she didn¡¯t know if she would have a chance toe out. ¡°That¡¯s good. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine,¡± With a sweet smile on her face, Lin ya¡¯s original worries and unhappiness were all gone. After all, she had finally seen them being rescued. Chapter 148

Chapter 148: I¡¯m ready to resign

¡°Where¡¯s Wang Li?¡± Joes scanned the interior of the office but did not see Wang Li¡¯s familiar figure. Chen Anna had also told her about the two of them. Both of them were bent on saving her from the detention center, and thepany would also provide some simple convenience for the detective¡¯s investigation. At this point in time, joesse finally understood that the two friends she had set her eyes on were indeed of good character and character. Otherwise, she would have one lesspetitor if she were to go to jail. It was such a good thing, but Lin ya and Wang Li chose to help her in her hour of need and help her out. This was the difference between people. Lin ya smiled at joesse¡¯s words and said,¡±¡±She¡¯s not feeling well and took a day off today. She¡¯ll be back soon. By the way, sisi, now that you¡¯ve proven your innocence, are youing back to work today?¡± Lin ya blinked her eyes in anticipation, looking rather yful. Even though she had said it so directly, Joes did not know how to answer the question. After thinking for a moment, Joes decided not to hide it. ¡°I ... I¡¯m going to resign. I won¡¯t be working at Shiyupany anymore.¡± Joes said calmly. ...... ¡°What?¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She wasn¡¯t the only one. The other colleagues in the office were the same. They didn¡¯t expect her to make such a decision. ¡°Sisi, do you really want to resign? You¡¯re not going to continue working at Shiyu?¡± ¡°Yeah, the jobs here are so good. If you leave here, you might not be able to find a better ce.¡± ¡°And the truth of the theft has been announced. You don¡¯t have to worry at all.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Around her, her colleagues began to discuss, most of them urging her to stay and saying how good Jinyu was. As for how sincere he was, no one knew. Faced with the crowd ¡®s¡¯ persuasion ¡®to stay, Joes revealed a faint smile and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not entirely because of this incident, it¡¯s also my own problem. If there¡¯s a chance, we should be able to meet again in the industry. After all, I¡¯m not going to give up on jewelry design. ¡± After hearing what she said, her colleagues no longer tried to persuade her and gave up after a few words of blessing. A few people even began to openly use the Secretary of falsifying the evidence. If she hadn¡¯t done so, so many things wouldn¡¯t have happened recently. The female colleague who had looked down on Jossi was also stunned. However, she quickly calmed down. ¡°This is a good thing.¡± She thought to herself,¡¯with Jossi gone, wouldn¡¯t there be an empty spot?¡¯ This was a position that everyone was fighting for. This was what many of the people present were thinking. Joes could not be bothered. After greeting him, she started to pack up the things on her desk. For example, that cute potted nt and some books that he had brought with him. Now, he had to leave Shiyupany with them. When she first came to thepany, she had been so excited, but now she was so disappointed. Sisi, do you really want to leave this ce?¡± Lin ya asked, a little nervous. She had never thought that this incident would have such an oue, but she knew how much joesse had suffered. Looking at this scene, Jorisughed and said,¡±¡±Really, but don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be better than I am now.¡± Joes was confident that she could run her ownpany. However, there were still many areas that she needed to improve on. When the time was right, she would appear before everyone again. Lin ya hesitated for a moment before saying,¡±¡±Sisi, if you¡¯re not here, why don¡¯t I follow you ...¡± Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jossi. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. This job is very good for you. I¡¯m still nning something. After I¡¯m done with this, if I¡¯m short of people, I¡¯lle to you myself. How about it? Do you agree to it?¡± In the end, there was a hint of a smile in Joes ¡®eyes. Actually, she had only said those words as if she was joking. To prevent other colleagues from hearing her, she even lowered her voice. After all, Lin ya wouldn¡¯t leave Shiyupany, so it was better not to let others hear such words. He didn¡¯t want to be put in a difficult position at work. ¡°Alright!¡± To joesse¡¯s surprise, Lin ya immediately agreed and nodded her head. It was not enough that she agreed. She even pulled Wang Li along and said,¡±¡±When Wang Lies back, I¡¯ll discuss this with her. Wang Li¡¯s family is very well-off, so she probably won¡¯t mind where she works. She¡¯s mainly in the jewelry department, so it¡¯s definitely not a problem. ¡± Lin ya raised her eyebrows, finally regaining some of her previous energy. ¡°Oh right, remember to help me inform Wang Li as well. After all, I haven¡¯t told her about my resignation.¡± Joes suddenly said. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin ya nodded slightly. After joesse packed her things, she ced them neatly in a box. Then, he chatted with Lin ya for a while more before leaving the office under her reluctant gaze. After Jossi left the office, she turned around to look at the ce that she had been working in for a few months. It was extremely familiar. If it weren¡¯t for the Ruby theft this time, even if she had the idea of establishing her own sect, she probably wouldn¡¯t have carried it out so quickly. However, after this incident, Joes suddenly understood. Only he himself could truly understand himself. There was nothing bad about Jin Yupany, it was just that it was not suitable for Qiao si si. ¡°Good luck!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. After cheering herself on, she took her resignation letter and prepared to head to the president¡¯s office. At this moment, assistant li came up to them. When she saw Joes carrying a box and a letter in her hand, she immediately understood what had happened. ¡°You ... Want to resign?¡± Assistant Li said with aplicated expression. Hearing that, Joes smiled and did not refute,¡±¡±Yeah, I¡¯m ready to resign.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Assistant li was a little suspicious. Even though this incident had caused some impact, Shiyu would definitely not mistreat Qiao sisi. After all, she was the one being ndered. Moreover, in the industry, Shiyu was considered a leadingpany. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that it was a paradise for jewelry designers. It was as hard as ascending to heaven to find apany in the country that was more suitable for development than Shiyu. However, Jossi understood all of this and had thought about it long ago. It was because she had made up her mind that she did not hesitate to bring her resignation letter to thepany. Chapter 149

Chapter 149: I can hold on to my dream again

¡°I just don¡¯t think it¡¯s suitable, nothing else.¡± Joes smiled faintly. However, her determined eyes made assistant li understand everything. He could only sigh softly. Shiyupany had suffered a huge setback this time. Not only did he nder Jossi, but the Secretary even colluded with outsiders to frame thepany¡¯s employees. It was simply a ck material. In such a situation, it was normal for Joes to want to leave. No one was protecting her back then. ¡°Since you want to leave, I won¡¯t try to stop you. The president is in his office right now. I¡¯ll bring you in.¡± Assistant Li said. ¡°Thank you,¡± Joes nodded. She followed assistant li to the president¡¯s office and knocked on the door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± There was a knock on the door, and Xiang Jinyu¡¯s hand, which was holding a document, paused. He looked up at the door and said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes did not hesitate to push open the door and walk in. Xiang Jinyu was not surprised to see her holding the things and the resignation letter. His face was calm, and he could not tell what he was feeling. ¡°You¡¯re leaving?¡± His voice was also very calm. ...... The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she said,¡±¡±President, I wanted to leave because of my own personal reasons, not because of this incident.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s just treat it like this.¡± Xiang Jinyu alsoughed. The two of them looked at each other, unable to tell what the other was thinking. However, at this moment, it didn¡¯t matter what he thought, because they had already chosen to part ways. She bade Xiang Jinyu farewell, ced her resignation letter on the table, and left thepany without any hesitation. As for the rest of the sry, the Human Resources Department would transfer it to her bank card. Xiang Jinyu looked at Qiao SI¡¯s back as she left, and the image of his Secretary being locked up in the detention center appeared in his mind. She was the one who had done wrong. ¡­¡­¡­ Under the warm rays of the winter sun, even if he was wearing slightly thinner clothes, he was still much better than he was a few days ago. Joes hugged the box in her hands and took a deep breath. Perhaps a new journey had begun at this moment. She had given up on Shiyupany and wanted to try it out on her own. ¡°However, there are still many things that need to be resolved.¡± Joes mumbled softly and frowned slightly. For example, if she wanted to start apany, she would need connections and resources. Moreover, she felt that it would be too difficult for her to start apany with her skills. However, he had to give it a try, starting from today. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± The phone in her pocket rang. Joes temporarily ced the box on the ground at the side and picked up the phone. The phone showed an unfamiliar number. At least, it had never appeared in her address book. Upon seeing this, Jossi was even more confused. She picked up the phone and asked,¡±¡±Hello, may I know who you are?¡± The person on the other end of the phone said in a low voice,¡±¡±Chen zuolin,¡± President Chen? Shock shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. She did not expect Chen zuolin to be the one looking for her. It was the president who had hitched a ride with herst time. ¡°Excuse me...Is there something you need from me? Chief Chen. ¡± Joes said with a straight face. It shouldn¡¯t be a mistake like calling the wrong number. After all, the other party didn¡¯t have her phone number. Since he suddenly called, he must have investigated the matter. After a moment of silence, Chen zuolin said,¡±I heard that you¡¯ve resigned from Shiyupany?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± After Joes finished speaking, she could not help but have an extremely absurd thought in her heart. Could it be that this CEO was trying to recruit her? It shouldn¡¯t be possible, she didn¡¯t have any outstanding qualities. Surprisingly, Chen zuolin did have this idea.¡±I also heard that you want to start your own jewelry designpany?¡± When he said this, many of his thoughts had already beenid bare. Joes¡¯s grip on the phone tightened as she said,¡±¡±President Chen, just say what you want to say. It¡¯s not good to beat around the bush. I did have that thought, and half of it was because of this that I wanted to leave Shiyupany. ¡± ¡°I can invest.¡± Chen zuolin said. Just as Joes was about to reject him, she was stunned when she heard him. She said in disbelief,¡±¡±President Chen, did you just say investment?¡± Heavens! She didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to invest in her, a small employee who had nothing. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s what I meant.¡± Chen zuolin showed a rare smile. It was a pity that Qiao si si couldn¡¯t see him through the screen. Otherwise, she would have known how good-looking Chen zuolin, who was known as the cold-faced CEO, was when he smiled. The sudden joy was hard to wrap one¡¯s head around, even for Joes. Without waiting for Jossi¡¯s reply, Chen zuolin said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s set a time to meet and talk. How about tomorrow afternoon?¡± Jossi regained her senses and quickly said,¡±¡±Sure, chief Chen. I¡¯ll contact you by phone. I¡¯m free during this period.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After that, the two hung up the phone, feeling quite happy. Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t help but smile, and his assistant was stunned. It had been a long time since he had seen his President smile. A cold-faced President, that was not just for show. On the other side, Joes could not help but smile as she carried the box back to Chen Anna¡¯s apartment. In the evening. When Chen Anna returned, she saw a high-spirited Joes. ¡°What good news is this? You¡¯re so happy. ¡± Chen Anna was also a little happy. She was already a little worried about Joes ¡®resignation. But from the looks of it, she didn¡¯t need to worry about it. Her good friend¡¯s appearance clearly meant that something good had happened. Joes raised her brows slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±Something good has indeed happened. You know that I went to Jin Yu to resign, right?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Chen Anna was a little suspicious. Could it be that he had offered some generous conditions to Shiyu in order to make Qiao si stay? That was not right either. Joes ¡®personality was not like that. Once she had decided on something, even ten bulls would not be able to pull her back. Since she had chosen to leave Shiyu, even if she asked him to stay, he would probably reject her. Moreover, Xiang Jinyu had already noticed it and was not prepared to make Qiao si stay. ¡°When I left Shiyupany, President Chen from Hengyuan investment called me. He said ... He wants to invest in my Jianli jewelry designpany.¡± In the end, everyone¡¯s tone was a lot more serious. Hearing this, Chen Anna was also happy for her friend,¡±¡±That¡¯s great. This way, you can continue to pursue your dreams. ¡± Jewelry design. This was the dream that Jessi had always held onto. Chapter 150 - It’s finally snowing again

Chapter 150: It¡¯s finally snowing again

Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she nodded,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I¡¯ll have a chat with him tomorrow afternoon. If possible, I want to study abroad for a while.¡± ¡°Advanced Studies?!¡± Chen Anna¡¯s face changed and she said in surprise,¡±¡±You¡¯re going overseas, but you didn¡¯t tell me about it. ¡± It should be said that he had never mentioned it before, so when he suddenly heard it, he couldn¡¯t react. ¡°After all,¡± Jorisughed,¡±there¡¯s a lot to learn if you want to start apany. I think this is a good choice.¡± ¡°What about me?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s expression became pitiful. If Joes really chose to leave the country, she would not be able to see her for a long time. However, this was indeed a good choice. It could be said to be a brand new starting point. ¡°I only agreed to talk to President Chen tomorrow. I¡¯m not sure yet.¡± Joes nced at Anna Chen. The smile gradually disappeared, reced by an inexplicable emotion. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Chen Anna nodded, but her expression was a little disappointed. The two of them didn¡¯t talk much about this matter and instead brought up other topics. As for the matter on the inte, everything was going very smoothly. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s reputation had already beenpletely ruined. ...... The big boss behind her was none other than the Vice President of Hengyuan investment. Unfortunately, even if he made a move, he could not deal with Zheng Zeyi, who was determined to make Lin Xiu ¡®er step down. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and give up. Jossi became the victim, and manyizens even came to apologize, saying that they had misunderstood her from the start. Chen Anna saw thesements and sighed,¡±¡±The tables have turned ...¡± Late at night, Joes nced at the twinkling stars outside the window, but in her heart, she had a clear n for her future. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, Lin Xiu ¡®er could be said to be in deep waters and suffering. ¡°Mingyan, can you please help me? my managementpany can¡¯t handle the storm on the inte.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er held the phone in her hand, and her expression was a little ugly. She keptining to the man on the phone. It was the Vice President of Hengyuan investment, Ming Yan. When Ming Yan thought about this, he felt a little anxious. He had never thought that his mistress would provoke Zheng Zeyi. Now that he had to choose, it was clear which of the two options he should choose. ¡°Think about who you¡¯ve offended. Do you know who is backing Joes? It was Zheng Zeyi, the president of the Zheng Corporation! Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯ll ruin me like this? you even sent someone to warn me!¡± Ming Yan was furious. Not only had Zheng Zeyi sent someone to warn him, but Chen zuolin had also done the same. Who exactly was that joesse, to actually provoke two big CEOs to protect her so much? Thinking up to this point, Ming Yan felt that Lin Xiu ¡®er was even more useless, let alone help her resolve the matter on the inte. He felt annoyed just by looking at it. ¡°Mingyan, please help me. I¡¯m really at my wit¡¯s end. Many of my partners have withdrawn their cooperation, and ... And I still have to pay the penalty.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er said weakly, but her nails were so hateful that they wanted to dig into her flesh. She did not know that so much had happened after she had tried to frame Jossi and bring her to the detention center. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have done it. Bitch! Lin Xiu ¡®er thought fiercely, but on the surface, she was still pitifully begging for sympathy. Ming Yan took a deep breath and said angrily,¡±¡±That¡¯s it. In the future, don¡¯te to me for your matters. Let¡¯s break it. ¡± Then, the call was hung up. Listening to the toot sound from the phone, Lin Xiu ¡®er was almost stunned on the spot for a long time before she reacted. Her eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that she had not slept well for a few days. ¡°Joesse! You B * tch, I hate you!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth. She didn¡¯t care even if blood flowed out. From a high and mighty superstar to a rat on the street, who could ept such a fall? Furthermore, it was the proud Lin Xiu ¡®er who hated Joes to the core. Even if she had to exchange her life for his, she would probably not hesitate. Because of this incident on the inte, the managementpany had also decided to freeze Lin Xiu ¡®er and not allow her to participate in any programs or interviews. At this time, the only way to make thepany better was to try to suppress the heat. Under the pressure from Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s two majorpanies, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s managementpany couldn¡¯t bear it and could only choose to give up on her, a money tree. No, he should be a street rat now. Lin Xiu ¡®er could only hide in the apartment and didn¡¯t dare to go out. Because there were many fans waiting outside. As soon as she went out, they would throw rotten vegetables or eggs at her. Once, Lin Xiu ¡®er went out, and it was because of this that she returned to the apartment in a sorry state. ¡°I¡¯m not willing to ept this ...¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s voice was hoarse. The more she thought like this, the more she couldn¡¯t bear it. She came from a well-to-do family and was the heiress of the Lin Corporation. However, she paled inparison to the Zheng Corporation. Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was filled with hatred, called Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone, but it did not go through. Zheng ze had cklisted her long ago. Ever since Lin Xiu ¡®er had broken up with Zheng Zeyi because of her affair, she had been regretting this matter. During this period, they contacted each other countless times and even went to the Zheng Corporation. There was even one time when Qiao si bumped into him. However, Zheng Zeyi ignored her. He looked at her as if he was looking at a bug. ¡°The number you have just dialed is currently busy, please try againter ...¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er directly flipped over the chair in front of her, making a huge sound. ¡°Since you¡¯re treating me like this, don¡¯t me me!¡± She was so agitated that she made another call. Lin Xiu ¡®er also wanted to see how the high and mighty Zheng ze would look when he fell from the sky. On the second day. The weather was still cold, but surprisingly, there were snowkes in city h, which didn¡¯t usually snow. Joes pushed open the window and was greeted by a vast expanse of white. Even the roof was covered in snow. It was as if he had entered a World of Ice and snow. Joes could not help but reveal a surprised smile. After living in city h for so many years, this was the second time it had snowed. And it was much bigger than thest time. The snowkes fluttered in the air, forming a beautiful picture. ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s finally snowing in city H.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s mood also improved a lot. Initially, she had been feeling gloomy because Qiao Si was going to discuss a coboration with Chen zuolin and might even go overseas. However, he had recovered quite a bit. Joes looked at it for a while before walking to the door with her things.¡±¡±Anna, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Chapter 151

Chapter 151: A yearter ... See you

Right after she had woken up, Jossi had received a text from Chen zuolin, asking her to meet him at a caf¨¦ near her apartment. In short, the general idea was to talk about cooperation-rted matters. Chen Anna curled her lips and suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She waved her hand and said,¡±¡±Go, go, quickly go. I¡¯ll support you whether you choose to go abroad or not. ¡± Even though she was a little sad, she still gave Jossi some encouragement, which made everyone feel better. Joes made a cheering gesture and left the apartment, heading towards the coffee shop that they had agreed on. The coffee shop was low-key and luxurious, and the service was excellent. After ordering two cups of coffee, Jossi sat in her seat and waited quietly. Fortunately, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t make her wait too long. After another five or six minutes, he came to the coffee shop in a formal suit. A slender figure instantly attracted the attention of many women in the cafe. It was because Chen zuolin was too handsome, especially his deep eyes, which were like whirlpools. ¡°Wee!¡± The waiter was a little dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react and say this. After entering the caf¨¦, Chen zuolin nced around and walked straight to joesse. ...... Along with it, he also received the gazes of many women. Looking at this scene, the corner of joesse¡¯s mouth twitched and she was rather speechless. Another monster on the same level as Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Miss Qiao.¡± Chen zuolin lowered his head slightly and nced at her. The corner of his mouth twitched as a greeting, so he sat opposite her. ¡°President Chen, long time no see.¡± Joesseughed. It had been a while since thest time she had hitched a ride. She didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to give her hope. The coffee in front of Chen zuolin was a little cold, but he still took a sip. ¡°President Chen, I would like to ask ... Is the cooperation you mentioned yesterday true?¡± Joes¡¯s tone was filled with anticipation. If it was a cooperation, then since Chen zuolin had invested, she would do her best and not let him down. Chen zuolin nodded.¡±That¡¯s right. I do have that idea.¡± The two of them chatted on this topic for a while and were both satisfied with what the other had said. Joesse had knowledge in jewelry design, but she was aplete newbie in managing apany. She still needed to learn more. Chen zuolin was a mature investor, and the twobined should have a good result. ¡°It¡¯s like this, President Chen. I¡¯m nning to study abroad for a year. I¡¯lle back then.¡± Joesse said this with some apprehension. As expected, Chen zuolin¡¯s hand, which was holding the coffee cup, paused when he heard this. He lifted his eyes to look at joesse, his eyes filled with surprise. However, he quickly regained hisposure. ¡°Since you have such an idea, it¡¯s naturally good. I happen to have a friend overseas who might be able to help you.¡± Chen zuolin said the longest sentence he had ever said, and it even carried a hint of concern. ¡°Oh?¡± Joes was stunned.¡±Is that okay, President Chen? would it be too much trouble for you?¡± ¡°I won ¡®t,¡± Chen zuolin shook his head slightly. Seeing the girl in front of him smile like a painting, he felt much better. ¡°As for the ne tickets, we¡¯ll contact each other by textter. You can check the time and tell me directly.¡± Chen zuolin nced at his watch. Upon hearing this, Joes hurriedly nodded her head.¡±¡±Okay, President Chen. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely be quick.¡± After a brief discussion, the two of them left the cafe. There were still many things to be discussed, but there were still many areas in which Joes was not good at management. It was for this reason that she wanted to study abroad. Five or six days had passed. Joesse had already booked the ne tickets and contacted Chen zuolin¡¯s friends overseas. Many things happened on this day. ¡°Pa!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was dark as he threw the document on the table, making a loud noise. At the side, assistant li shrunk his head and didn¡¯t even dare to say a word, afraid that he would say something that would provoke his CEO. He was obviously in a fit of anger, so he didn¡¯t dare to provoke him. ¡°You¡¯ve booked the ne tickets?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was low and dangerous, making people feel extremely uneasy. Assistant li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said,¡±¡±Yes, President. I heard that it was president Chen from Hengyuan investment who helped.¡± ¡°Chen zuolin ... Joess...Good.¡± Zheng Zeyi sneered. Since she wanted to leave, then he would let her go. One day, joesse would return! ¡­¡­¡­ At the door of Chen Anna¡¯s apartment. It was still early in the morning, and the snow had yet to melt. Joes was wearing a windbreaker and pushing a silver suitcase. She looked valiant and heroic. Behind her stood Chen Anna, who was reluctant to leave. She pulled on the corner of her clothes. Chen zuolin stood to the side and looked at the two in silence. The expression on his face showed a sense of helplessness. Seeing this, Joes could not help butugh,¡±¡±Alright, Anna, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m noting back. It¡¯s only a year. When youe back a yearter, you cane to mypany to work. This is our financial backer. ¡± At the mention of the word ¡°sugar daddy,¡± Joes yfully gave Chen zuolin a look that made peopleugh. Her words dispelled Chen Anna¡¯s sadness, but she still said,¡±Sisi, do you think one year is a short time?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not short, but it¡¯s not long either. ¡± Joes stared at her. Then, she took out a bank card that she had prepared earlier from her pocket. There was 100000 Yuan in it. Chen Anna had helped Qiao si out of the detention center. Although she did not mention how much money Chen Anna had spent, she had always remembered it. Since he was about to leave, he gave the money to Chen Anna. ¡°There¡¯s 100000 Yuan in here. I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s enough. I¡¯ll pay the rest when Ie back. After all, I have to bring some money with me when I¡¯m out.¡± Joes had a faint smile on her face as she stuffed the bank card into Chen Anna¡¯s hands. Just as she was about to refuse, Joes red at her and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t ept it, I won¡¯te back to find you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take it, I¡¯ll take it. ¡± Chen Anna Held the bank card in her hand, and it was still warm. Joes smiled and looked at the time, saying,¡±¡±I¡¯ll be leaving then. See you in a year. ¡± ¡°See you ... One yearter.¡± Chen Anna touched her sore nose. She watched as Jossi got into Chen zuolin¡¯s car and left. After the car started, it quickly disappeared into the distance. Chapter 152

Chapter 152: What have you experienced?

He didn¡¯t know if the next time they would meet would really be a yearter. Chen Anna¡¯s expression changed several times, but she finally calmed down. She held the bank card in her hand tightly. During this period of time ... She could not ck off! Chen Anna¡¯s expression slowly became determined. She turned around and went back to her apartment to start learning about fashion design. A certain ne took joesse and her dream away from city h and flew overseas. During this period of time, city h seemed to have fallen silent. Nothing else happened. Even the storm of theft about Lin Xiu ¡®er on the inte dissipated little by little with the passage of time. However, it wasn¡¯t that the public had forgotten about this matter. It was just that there was more eye-catching news. Lin Xiu ¡®er and yang Yueyue didn¡¯te out to stir up trouble again, and they werepletely silent. The only strange thing was that the Zheng Corporation seemed to be in conflict with Hengyuan investment. The CEOs of the two sides seemed to be at odds with each other. The bigpanies went against each other, while the smallpanies could only shiver and struggle for survival. Chen Anna even became a famous fashion designer in city H. Compared to before, he was much stronger and had be an important figure in the fashion industry. ...... During this period of time, Zheng Zeyi had paid a lot of attention to what happened to joesse overseas, from the various design shows to thepany¡¯s contracts. He knew almost everything, and he always smiled when no one was around. One day, Zheng Zeyi sat in front of his office desk with a document on it. It was about the newpany that Qiao sisi had set up, called the glorious star dors. He slightly pursed his lips, and after a moment, his expression rxed as he muttered,¡±¡±It¡¯s almost time, you should be back. ¡± A year¡¯s time passed in the blink of an eye. ¡­¡­¡­ City h¡¯s airport was packed with people. In the passage, a woman in a rice-colored coat was walking quickly, holding a small silver suitcase in her hand. The woman had light makeup on her face. Her facial features were delicate, her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her beautiful eyes were soul-stirring. It was Jossi, who had been away from home for a year. After a year of studying abroad, she had finally returned. Compared tost year, she had matured a lot. The huge airport was packed with people. Joes looked left and right, pushing her luggage while answering the phone. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re picking me up today? Why don¡¯t I see you?¡± After saying that, Joes could not help but reveal a smile. On the other end of the phone, Chen Anna was a bit annoyed and quickly said,¡±¡±I¡¯m here. I¡¯m at the passageway where you got off the ne. Where are you?¡± ¡°I can see you.¡± After saying that, Jossi hung up the phone and walked straight to a familiar person. Chen Anna looked up and finally saw her good friend whom she had not seen for a year. She was a little excited. ¡°Sisi, here, here!¡± She waved her hand to make her position more obvious. Joes pushed her luggage and walked over. It was the first time the two of them had met after a year, and they gave each other a big hug. Feeling the warmth of his embrace, Chen Anna sighed,¡±¡±It¡¯s been a year. You¡¯re finally back. I don¡¯t know how much I¡¯ve missed you.¡± ¡°Me too,¡± Joes patted her back. Suddenly, Chen Anna remembered something and asked,¡±¡±By the way, where¡¯s President Chen? he didn¡¯te to pick you up today?¡± Upon hearing that, joesse¡¯s hand that was dragging her luggage froze. She looked at Chen Anna in surprise. Seeing her extremely excited face, she more or less understood what the girl was thinking. It was impossible! Joes was rather helpless as she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think too much. President Chen and I just have a very normal working rtionship. We don¡¯t think as much as you think.¡± ¡°He¡¯s busy at thepany today,¡± joesse added after a pause.¡±He can¡¯t make it.¡± After hearing what her best friend had to say, Joes did not continue to tease her. However, her eyes showed that she did not believe her words at all. The president of argepany suddenly wanted to invest in Jossi, and he even helped her so much. No one would believe that he didn¡¯t have any thoughts. In any case, Chen Anna felt that President Chen was definitely interested in Joes. Otherwise, he would not have helped her so much. Wasn¡¯t it all to win the heart of a beauty? No matter what, he was still much better than Zheng Zeyi. Joes and Anna Chen walked through the sea of people at the airport and finally squeezed out of the airport to take in some fresh air. It was still winter, but it was warmer thanst year. It didn¡¯t snow in city h anymore. The warm sun shone down warmly. Even though she was only wearing a coat, she didn¡¯t feel cold at all. Joes covered the ring light with her hand and looked at the scene outside with a dazed expression. She had finally returned to city h after not seeing her for a year. ¡°Do you feel nostalgic?¡± Chen Anna said with a smile. After leaving home for such a long time and living in a strange ce for a year, he would always feel a little emotional when he came back. Joes nodded her head slightly in agreement. Anna Chen hooked her arm around Joes¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. You just came back, so I¡¯ll treat you to a meal to wee you back. ¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite.¡± The two of them chatted andughed as they walked on the road. They took a taxi to their apartment in the city center. Anna Chen was still staying in her original apartment. After Joes had ced her luggage at home, she set off for a restaurant. This restaurant was very high-end, and Chen Anna had put some thought into it. He ordered a table full of dishes to wee them. The delicacies looked, smelled, and smelled great. They emitted an alluring aroma that made one¡¯s appetite rise. Chen Anna also ordered a bottle of fruit wine and poured a light ss for both of them to liven up the mood. ¡°Congrattions on our jewelry designer¡¯s return to city h!¡± Anna Chen could not hide the joy on her face. She clinked her ss with Joes ¡®. Joes smiled as well and finished the fruit wine in her ss. The fruit wine didn¡¯t have a high alcohol content, so naturally, she wouldn¡¯t get drunk. However, after drinking it, her face was slightly red. Chen Anna ate heartily and finished the food on the table. Naturally, Joes did not stand on ceremony with her. The two of them ate and drank fruit wine, feeling ratherfortable. Chen Anna took a sip of her wine and looked at Joes. She asked curiously,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, what have you been through this year?¡± Although the two of them had never stopped contacting each other, they rarely had the time to chat because they were both busy with their work. Therefore, Chen Anna was very curious about this question, and even yearned for it. There were still some differences between the overseas and domestic circles. She was a fashion designer. If there was a chance, he could also go abroad to broaden his horizons. Chapter 153

Chapter 153: You can take a look

After hearing Anna Chen¡¯s words, Joes put down her chopsticks. There was a smile in her eyes, which were bright and gentle. She then said,¡±¡±I remember telling you that President Chen has a friend overseas. After I left the country, he was the one who came to pick me up. After that, my studies were basically arranged by him, and he was extremely responsible. ¡± Joesse¡¯s vivid description of her past year¡¯s experience had also beenid out as a blueprint for her good friend. Chen zuolin¡¯s friend was of mixed blood, so he was much more easy-going than Chen zuolin. His name was Jerry, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Jossi¡¯s living arrangements and ss arrangements abroad were almost all done with the help of Jerry. And because she was new here, Jerry would patiently exin many things she didn¡¯t understand like a senior. After all, after going abroad, Jossi had been following Jerry around to learn about business management and jewelry design. It had only been a short year. Perhaps nothing could be seen now, but she had matured a lotpared to the past. ¡°President Chen really cares about you.¡± Chen Anna raised her eyebrows and teased him. Joes helplessly said,¡±stop joking. He¡¯s the president of Hengyuan investment. How can hepare to me?¡± Just like Zheng Zeyi, he was a genius who stood at the same high position. ...... Zheng Zeyi ... The name appeared in Joris ¡®mind. She was stunned for a moment before she regained her senses, suppressing her thoughts. Why did she still remember this man after a year? Frowning, joesse stopped thinking about him. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating the various delicacies in front of her. Chen Anna poured thest of the fruit wine into their sses and raised her own ss with a smile. ¡°I wish you a smooth journey back to your country!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Joesughed without restraint, she was more confident than before. ¡°Bang!¡± The two wine sses collided with each other, making a clear sound. It also indicated that his return to the country this time was destined to be extraordinary and would set off a storm in city H. ¡­¡­¡­ For the next few days, Joes temporarily stayed at Chen Anna¡¯s house. She didn¡¯t have the funds to buy a house yet, so she didn¡¯t think about it for the time being. The weather was clear today, and it was the first day of the purchase of thepany venue. After reading Chen zuolin¡¯s message, Joes could not help but grin. There was finally some progress. She didn¡¯t take all the advantages in their cooperation. Chen zuolin owned thirty percent of the shares and was thergest shareholder other than Joes. He could also be considered half a President. Jossi herself thought that she was just a nominal helper, but this was already an unexpected surprise. Chen zuolin replied,¡±I¡¯ve sent you the address. Remember toe overter.¡± Upon seeing this, Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. She hurriedly typed,¡±okay,ing right away¡± and then turned off her phone. There weren¡¯t many cars on the street, and they soon arrived at thepany. This was arge building, but only the bottom three floors were avable for joesse¡¯s use. After all, thepany was just starting out. Chen zuolin still had to observe for a while, so he didn¡¯t invest too much. Joes had the same idea, in case thepany lost money instead of making a profit. In that case, it would be useless no matter how big the site was. The current location was already in the best part of the city center. Chen zuolin had already bought this three-story building and renovated it when Joes was still overseas. Standing in front of the building, joesse suddenly felt that she was extremely small. His heart was filled with joy and excitement, and he could not suppress it. ¡°Good luck!¡± Jossi¡¯s gaze shifted as she walked in. Her temperament had already changed a lot. She already had a faint aura, calm in the face of change, and light as the clouds and wind. There were not many people on the first floor of the building at the moment. Thepany had not yet recruited anyone, so it was just an empty shell. ¡°Da da da ...¡± The sound of footsteps was particrly clear in the huge one-story building. Joes observed the decorations of the building as she walked forward. The elevator and other decorations had already been renovated. The style leaned towards simplicity and the main colors were ck, gray, or silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was a high-ss ce. ¡°Not bad, it¡¯s much better than I thought.¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up, revealing a faint smile. She quickly finished touring the three-story building and was very satisfied. The third floor was the president¡¯s office, the vice president¡¯s office, and other important venues. The second floor was the conference room, the archives room, and the public offices of some employees. The desks were already prepared. The first floor was much simpler. There was a front desk, some card-checking equipment, a security room, and so on ... It was indeed a ce that had been decorated with a lot of effort. In the past, Joes probably would not have thought that she would have her ownpany in such a short time. Standing at the front desk, Joes looked at an extremely fashionable door te with the words ¡®bright star Yuan design¡¯ written on it. This was the name she hade up with, and it seemed quite appropriate now. Just as Joes was standing at the front desk in a daze, a girl in a white knee-length dress walked in. She looked to be around 20 years old, with a pure face and long legs. Upon hearing themotion, joesse turned around. When she saw who it was, she could not help but ask,¡±¡±And you are?¡± Compared to her calmness, the girl in white was much more excited.¡±You must be President Qiao? I¡¯m the assistant that President Chen sent to you!¡± ¡°Assistant?¡± Joes said in shock. She didn¡¯t even know that Chen zuolin had given her an assistant. She really didn¡¯t expect this. However, even though the girl in front of him looked a little young, since she was sent by Chen zuolin, she must have some special abilities. Besides, thepany had just been established. She didn¡¯t have any money or manpower. It was good enough to have an assistant. ¡°Nice to meet you,¡± Joes said with a smile.¡±I¡¯m Joes.¡± The girl in white said excitedly,¡±¡±Hello, President Qiao. My name is Miley. You can call me Lili.¡± After saying that, she took out a document from her bag with the word ¡°resume¡± written on it. Millie handed her resume to Joes,¡±¡±President Qiao, this is my resume. You can take a look.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded slightly and opened the resume to read it carefully. After reading it, her eyes were filled with admiration. She had guessed it right. The people Chen zuolin had sent were all capable people. This Miley was originally Chen zuolin¡¯s assistant, which showed how capable she was. After all, bigpanies didn¡¯t keep idle people. Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Finally back

Apart from that, Millie could do a lot of work independently, and she was very professional. It wasn¡¯t because he was young that he didn¡¯t know how to do things. On the contrary, she was from a famous school, so she was involved in more fields than others and was more proficient in them. Chen zuolin still valued the development prospects of the Xing Yuan designpany. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have sent Miley to assist her. Naturally, Jossi attributed it to thepany and did not think too much about it. A momentter, she closed the resume and returned the document to Miley with a smile.¡±¡±You¡¯re indeed a talent. No wonder President Chen praised you.¡± This was the way of speaking, even if Chen zuolin had never said anything to her. Sure enough, after hearing this, Millie¡¯s face immediately revealed a bright smile. ¡°President Qiao, thank you.¡± Joes returned a smile, then swept her gaze across the empty, one-story building. She said,¡±we still have a lot of things to solve, but we¡¯re not in a hurry to work.¡± I¡¯m your superior at work, so you don¡¯t have to be so distant with me during work hours. If you don¡¯t mind, you can just call me sisi. ¡± Hearing this, Miley was a little dazed. After working at Hengyuan investment for so long, this was the first time she had seen such an easy-going President. ...... Chen zuolin was a famous cold-faced President. She had worked for so many years, but she had never seen him smile. This was because he was extremely strict when it came to work. However, Millie was still looking forward to the future. She nodded and said,¡±¡±I think I¡¯ll just call her sister sisi. It doesn¡¯t feel good.¡± At the end of her sentence, sheughed in embarrassment. Joes did not mind and roughly nned her goals for the next few days. Thepany had just been established, and there were still many things that werecking. For example, the recruitment of employees was a very important part. However, before doing this, thepany¡¯s rules and benefits system had to be improved. Jossi had a rough understanding of these things when she was abroad, so it should not be difficult for her to get them done. It would take some time for a person to do it, but with Millie¡¯s help, it would be a different story. ¡°President Qiao, I understand. I¡¯ll keep a close eye on the recruitment and divide the departments.¡± Millie quickly got back to work, and her white flower-like appearance had disappeared. As expected of Chen zuolin¡¯s assistant. Joes sighed in her heart. After the lovers left their contact details, they left Xing Yuan designpany together. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to stay a little longer, but there were still many things he had to deal with. Millie was in charge of recruitment and the Department, so Joes would be in charge of the other things, such as rules and regtions, welfare, and so on. It wasn¡¯t too difficult. He just had to add some unique features of thepany to the foundation. After leaving thepany, joesse received a text message from Chen zuolin. It was as if she had pressed the button to send it. The content of the message was very simple. He invited her to a restaurant for a meal. Other than Chen zuolin, there were also some of his business partners. Since Joes had chosen to set up apany, it was necessary to expand herwork. Since Chen zuolin was already prepared, how could joesse reject him? she immediately agreed and would be there soon. What she didn¡¯t expect was that this matter had made her regret for a long time. ¡­¡­¡­ Joes hailed a cab and was about to head to the high-end restaurant when she saw a familiar figure on the street. It was none other than Lin Xiu ¡®er. Although Lin Xiu ¡®er wrapped herself up a little more tightly, she still recognized it at a nce. It couldn¡¯t be helped, the impression he had left on her was too deep. In addition, joesse¡¯s memory was quite good, and she remembered Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s appearance. Therefore, she was still able to recognize Lin Xiu¡¯ er, who was wrapped up tightly. Lin Xiu ¡®er was talking on the phone as she walked, and her expression was a little fierce. She was very different from a year ago. When she was about to reach her side, Joes turned around and lowered her head slightly to avoid being discovered. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, if you want to cooperate, show some sincerity, Zheng ...¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er passed by him for a short time. The voice on the phone wasn¡¯t very loud, and only one sentence could be faintly heard. As she watched her figure disappear at the end of the street, Joes fell into deep thought. If she didn¡¯t hear wrongly just now, Lin Xiu ¡®er should be discussing a cooperation with the person on the phone, right? What cooperation? There was some doubt between her brows. Joes felt that she had also heard the word ¡®Zheng¡¯, but at that time, the two of them were already quite far apart. Joes could not be sure that she had heard it, it was just a guess. ¡°What¡¯s the situation ...¡± She muttered and frowned. She really didn¡¯t understand what Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted to do. Since she couldn¡¯t figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and bent down to get into the car. The restaurant that Chen zuolin had booked was located in the bustling area of the city center. Of course, it was only because there were more people on the streets. The restaurant was very stylish, and there was even a private room set up. The sound instion was excellent, and no one would be disturbed. There was a sharp contrast between the internal and external forces. The outside was a bustling Street, but the inside was a quiet and stylish restaurant. After getting out of the car, joesse entered the restaurant and sent Chen zuolin a text message. ¡°Private room number?¡± Very quickly, the other party replied with a few numbers. After entering the restaurant, Joes began to look for the room with this number. She took a quick nce at the row of private rooms and walked straight ahead. ¡± 488 ...¡± Joes mumbled softly. She lowered her head to look at her phone, and the speed increased. What she didn¡¯t notice was that a certain figure had brushed past her. The figure stopped and turned around without hesitation. His eyes were dark.¡±Wait,¡± A familiar voice came from behind her, Joris¡¯s mind, which was originally immersed in the private room number, was pulled back to reality. This voice? Joes¡¯s expression stiffened, and her grip on her phone tightened. In her heart, she was hoping that the person behind her was not the one she was thinking of. However, her hopes were dashed very quickly. The person standing behind her was indeed Zheng Zeyi, who was wearing a ck suit. It had been a year since theyst met, and he did not expect that they would meet again because of a chance encounter at the restaurant. The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. There were only Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si in the corridor, so it was rather quiet. A momentter, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s maic voice rang out.¡±¡±You¡¯ve finally returned?¡± There was no emotion in his tone, but it made one feel inexplicably uneasy. He had left without a word for a year, and the person he had been waiting for had finally returned. Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Who knows if she¡¯s a femalepanion

Upon hearing this extremely familiar voice, Joes felt as if the string that had been hidden in her heart for a long time had been plucked. An inexplicable emotion welled up in her, and she could not react for a moment. A year had passed ... Many memories surfaced in her mind as they shed through her mind. In the end, she slowly turned her head around and met those deep eyes. Zheng ze fixed his gaze on her. She still had a slender figure, a handsome face, and an elegant temperament. Her looks were indeed good. Time did not leave any traces on him. Instead, it made him even more charming. Their gazes crossed, both calm. After a while, Joes finally spoke,¡±¡±President ... Zheng, long time no see. I¡¯m back.¡± Towards the end, his tone changed. Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes and nced at the phone in her hand. He could already guess what had happened. Of course, he had heard of Xing Yuan designpany. It was said that Chen zuolin had invested in thepany, and joesse was the president. She was mainly involved in the jewelry design industry. As the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group, Zheng Zeyi was very clear about this matter. ...... Because he had been paying attention to it all this time. Behind the scenes, they were also adding fuel to the fire to speed up the design of Xing Yuan. This way, Joes could return to the country earlier. As it turned out, Zheng Zeyi had seeded in just a year. ¡°Miss Qiao, No... I should call you President Qiao now. How have you been?¡± Zheng Zeyi had a smile on his face, but it was hard to read. Hearing that, joesse pursed her lips slightly, but her emotions gradually calmed down. She smiled.¡±It¡¯s alright. But President Zheng, it¡¯s been a year. I wonder if your desire to control people has decreased a little.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Zheng ze looked at her, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. His eyes were like vortexes. The atmosphere was in a deadlock, and the two of them did not speak for a long time. ¡°Squeak ...¡± At this moment, the door of the private room beside them suddenly opened with a soft sound, which attracted joesse¡¯s attention. She turned around and saw the number 488 on the door. Wasn¡¯t this the room she was looking for? The person who walked out was also a familiar face, teasing Chen zuolin. ¡°President Zheng?¡± After Chen zuolin saw Qiao sisi, a smile appeared in his eyes. He turned to look at Zheng Zeyi, who was not far away. Zheng ze had one hand in his suit pocket, his gaze was unfathomable as he smiled.¡±¡±President Chen, long time no see. It seems that you two are ...?¡± His tone was inexplicable, and his eyes were deep and dark. He was a little unhappy. Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s auras were equally matched. When they stood together, it was as if there were sparks flying everywhere. ¡°President Zheng, I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± Chen zuolin said indifferently. Perhaps he already understood, but he just didn¡¯t want to point it out. After all, he was only in a cooperative rtionship with Joes, and it might have the opposite effect if he told her. ¡°So it¡¯s not ...¡± Zheng ze¡¯s thin lips moved, and his tone was a little strange. Heughed softly, his voice maic and alluring. It was obvious that he was implying something. Joesse frowned unhappily. She did not like Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. It was as if something had happened between her and Chen zuolin, but the two were just in the most ordinary cooperative rtionship. At most, they could be called good friends. Thinking of this, she raised her eyes slightly and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, President Chen and I still have some things to deal with. We can¡¯t catch up with you for the time being.¡± It was obvious that he wanted Zheng Zeyi to leave. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were cold and his lips curved into a mocking smile. After a while, he said coldly,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ve really disturbed you. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back. The slender figure gradually disappeared around the corner until it waspletely out of sight. Joes could not describe what she was feeling at that moment. She felt a little d, but also a little empty, as if she should not have done something. She heaved a sigh of relief, wondering why she had such a strange thought. ¡°Miss Qiao ...¡± Chen zuolin said. His usually expressionless face softened a little. Upon hearing this, Joes hurriedly raised her head and replied,¡±¡±President Chen, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a littlete.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, there¡¯s still time to go in now. ¡± Chen zuolin shook his head and didn¡¯t say anything else. The two of them entered the private room together. The private room was extremelyrge, with a table that could amodate at least 20 to 30 people. The table was filled with delicious dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted great. The interior was almost full of people. They were all bosses of somepanies, and some even brought their femalepanions. When they saw Joes and grace enter, they all turned their gazes to them. ¡°President Chen, I was wondering what you were doing out there. It turns out that you went to pick up your femalepanion.¡± A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean head said. He was holding a wine ss in his hand, and his belly was so big that it almost burst the buttons on his shirt. No one knew how heavy he was. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he stared at Joes with perverted eyes. He kept looking her up and down in an extremely explicit manner, which made people feel disgusted. Joesse furrowed her brows and took a step back. She stood behind Chen zuolin to hide her gaze. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that there were so many people present, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to control herself and would go up to say a few words. It was really too much. Beside the middle-aged man was a woman with heavy makeup. When she saw that the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes were attracted, she looked a little dissatisfied and held the ss for a long time without moving. She snorted coldly and mmed the ss on the table.¡±¡±Hmph, who knows if it¡¯s a femalepanion.¡± The crowd¡¯s gazes shifted and finallynded on Joes. Many of their expressions changed slightly, not knowing if they really believed her. After all, Chen zuolin was a cold-faced President whose private life was almost pure. This was the first time he had brought a femalepanion to a banquet. Everyone was a little distracted, wanting to see just who it was that could make Chen zuolin fall in love. After a while, Chen zuolin looked at the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman with dissatisfaction. He suddenly began to doubt the ability of his men. The banquet was held to wee Jossi and to expand her connections in the business world. But what kind of people did the assistant invite? Was a banquet organized by him, Chen zuolin, a ce that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could attend? Thinking of this, Chen zuolin¡¯s face turned even colder. His eyes became deeper, and he emitted a low pressure. Even joesse, who was beside him, felt that something was amiss. She felt a chill. Chapter 156

Chapter 156: We are all friends now

If the assistant had heard this, he would have cried out that he was innocent. The middle-aged man¡¯s name was Jiang hai, the CEO of Jiang real estate. His power was among the top five in city H. He held a banquet to expand hiswork precisely because he wanted to find these people with high positions. As for the flirtatious woman, she was thepanion that Jiang hai had brought with him. Her family background was ordinary, and that was why she wanted to grab onto this big tree. Chen zuolin spoke coldly, his eyes seemed to be piercing into the coquettish woman¡¯s heart,¡±Thisdy is right. Ms. Qiao is indeed not my femalepanion, but the president of Xing Yuan design.¡± The moment these words came out, it immediately caused a wave of surprised exmations. Star Yuan design? This was the first time everyone present had heard of this new name. They had never heard of the existence of this industry before. One of the directors couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±President Chen, the Xing Yuan design that you mentioned, is it the newly established branch?¡± ¡°Yes, and no.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s expression was unfathomable. He led Joes to two empty seats, and they both sat down. After the beautiful woman heard this, she clenched the corner of her clothes. She lowered her head slightly to hide the unwillingness in her eyes. Why was this woman not his femalepanion but the president? ¡°I¡¯m not superior to anyone in any way.¡± The beautiful woman gritted her teeth. She suddenly felt that her current status was really not high. It seemed that she had to make a good n. What Joes did not expect was that the moment she arrived, she had already attracted the hostility of a certain woman. ...... It was true that the same sex repelled each other and the opposite sex attracted each other. This logic was indeed correct. ¡°I see. I knew that this ... Oh right, miss Qiao¡¯s temperament was different. Now it seems that I was right.¡± A young manughed. He raised the wine ss in his hand and said with a smile,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, I¡¯m the president of the Xu group. It¡¯s an honor to meet you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also my honor. ¡± Joes was very tactful and raised her ss at the same time. Their sses clinked noiselessly in the air. After taking a sip of wine, they put their sses down. After that, Chen zuolin introduced Qiao si to everyone present. They were basically all people with status in city H. Even in other ces, they were also people with high positions. From this point, it could be seen what kind of people could befriend their own kind. It was precisely because of Chen zuolin¡¯s high position that he had invited so many high-level officials in city h to open up herwork. Speaking of which, it was still Jossi who had benefited from this. After the introduction, it was time for the toasts. Joes cleverly said that she had stomach problems and could not drink too much, but she had to show her sincerity. He drank one-third of the wine with every toast. In total, he had drunk less than seven sses. If it was a bottle, it would probably be slightly more than one bottle. Furthermore, the alcohol content was not very high, so Joes ¡®face was only slightly red. Seeing this, Jiang hai couldn¡¯t help but raise his ss and said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, did you forget to drink with me?¡± He raised the wine ss in his hand, and his bean-sized eyes glowed. If not for the fact that the asion was not right, he would have walked straight towards joesse. Even though the flirtatious woman beside him was also a beauty, Joes¡¯s figure was even better. She was a natural beauty. This was the difference. Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He squinted his eyes and was about to say something when he was stopped by joesse. Joes shook her head at him. This was just a small matter and did not require Chen zuolin to resolve it. This was the first day she was meeting the big bosses of city H. She couldn¡¯t just be a flower vase and let Chen zuolin solve everything for her. For some reason, when she thought of the word ¡®Big Boss¡¯, Qiao si thought of Zheng Zeyi, who had just left. Zheng Zeyi should be considered an upper-ss figure in city h, but he didn¡¯t appear at the banquet. It was either that he had rejected the invitation, or ... Chen zuolin didn¡¯t invite him at all. Regardless of the reason, Joes could not care less now. She didn¡¯t know about the rumors in city h that Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin didn¡¯t get along. If he had known, he probably wouldn¡¯t have had such an attitude. Anyway, there were already enough people present, so what if there was one more Zheng Zeyi? He was only so polite for Chen zuolin¡¯s sake. Otherwise, these big bosses probably wouldn¡¯t even bother with someone who had just started apany. Joesse gave Chen zuolin a reassuring look and raised her wine ss at Jianghai. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Looks like I¡¯m a little drunk. I¡¯m sorry, President Chen. I¡¯ll have a drink to express my apology.¡± After saying that, he raised his head and drank all the water in the cup. After drinking, he wiped the corners of his mouth and put the cup back in its original ce. She shifted her gaze away. Looking at Jianghai¡¯s greasy appearance, she felt that it was polluting her eyes. He had done his part in the etiquette, and no one could find any mistakes in it. Seeing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s hand that was holding the ss paused. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and he finished the wine with a dark expression. ¡°By the way, miss Qiao, what¡¯s the main industry of Xing Yuan design? This is the first time I¡¯ve heard of this. I hope miss Qiao doesn¡¯t mind if I ask more. ¡± The one who spoke was the president of the Xu group. He had a bright smile on his face and was extremely polite. Compared to Jianghai, the difference was obvious at this moment. One was gentle and warm, while the other was a middle-aged man with a big belly. So what if he earned a lot of money? It only attracted the same kind of people as the beautiful woman. After hearing what the president said, joesse said,¡±¡±Boss Xu, Xing Yuan designpany is mainly in charge of jewelry design and is still in its initial stage. It¡¯s going to be difficult for me to develop further. I¡¯m also a neer, so I hope you can take care of me. ¡± After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly at the crowd. With Chen zuolin sitting beside her, everyone except for Jiang hai could not help but have a good impression of her. ¡°Jewelry design is a good idea.¡± The president of Xu group praised. Out of all thepanies in the jewelry design industry, only Jin Yu was doing well. The others were just average. Since Joes had chosen to enter this industry, they reckoned that this youngdy should have some Foundation. With Chen zuolin¡¯s help, it might not be impossible. Everyone¡¯s mind could be said to have seen the situation clearly. They immediately weighed the pros and cons and cooperated. ¡°Boss Xu is right. Miss Qiao has just started, so if you have any difficulties, you can discuss them with us.¡± ¡°Everyone here has some experience. Miss Qiao, feel free to ask. We¡¯re all friends now.¡± Chapter 157

Chapter 157: That is a mistress

¡°Yes, we¡¯re all in city h, so it¡¯s only right for us to help. Miss Qiao, please don¡¯t feel embarrassed.¡± ¡°When we open for business in the future, I will definitely send a generous gift to celebrate.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ There were a lot of simr words, but they were all congrattory to joesse. Joesse was no fool. Of course, she knew that most of them were doing this for Chen zuolin¡¯s sake. She was just a passer-by. However, since everyone had already given her so much face, she would not reject their good intentions. ¡°Thank you for giving me so much face. I¡¯ll toast you all!¡± Joes raised her ss of wine and downed it. Chen zuolin, who was watching from the side, frowned. She had drunk a lot of wine since just now, and her face was slightly red. Seeing this, everyone also picked up their wine sses and drank. The scene was joyous and harmonious. ¡°Stop drinking.¡± After Joes sat down, Chen zuolin said with an ugly expression. He had sent someone to expand hiswork, but he did not expect her to drink so much. Otherwise, he would have chosen another way. Joes shook her head slightly and said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing. I won¡¯t drink anymore at a certain time. I¡¯ll be careful when I¡¯m out. ¡± ...... ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Only then did Chen zuolin rx. The banquet went on as usual, and the scene was very harmonious. Everyone talked about business and cooperation, and they were allughing and talking. As for how sincere they were, only they themselves knew. Seeing how Joes handled the situation with ease, the flirtatious woman could not help but feel jealous. Her grip on the corner of her clothes tightened. It was not just the flirtatious woman. Even Jianghai, who was beside her, was the same. He looked at joessi with an unfriendly expression. Other than them, everyone else at the banquet was normal. At most, there would be some spections. This was human nature, so it was nothing. After all, there were still many normal people in the world, and there were only a few of them. ¡°Damn it ...¡± The alluring woman mumbled to herself. Seeing that Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes were not on her, her hatred for him grew. What female CEO? in her opinion, she was just a slut. Didn¡¯t he see that ever since joesse had entered, Jianghai had been staring at her without blinking? She didn¡¯t know who she was here to seduce by wearing this. Brother Jiang ... Why aren¡¯t you talking to me today?¡±she asked. The flirtatious woman¡¯s voice was coy as she tugged at Jiang Hai¡¯s arm. Normally, Jianghai would still be in the mood to y with her, but now, he was not in the mood. Jiang hai replied impatiently,¡±¡±I¡¯m not free today. Xiaomei, you can stay here for a while. ¡± With that, he flung the flirtatious woman¡¯s hand away and drank from the wine ss alone. However, his eyes were fixed on Joes. Bitch! The flirtatious woman known as Xiaomei gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them. She was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear Joes apart. However, Chen zuolin was by her side, so Xiaomei didn¡¯t dare to make a move. She could only suppress all her emotions in her heart, and her face was twisted with hatred. In the past, Jianghai would not have been so interested in Xiaomei. However, ever since joesse appeared, his attitude had changed immediately. He was obviously a scumbag now. Xiaomei held the wine ss so tightly that the blue veins on her hands could be seen. She no longer looked delicate and weak. She was just wearing a mask. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Joes was a little tipsy from the alcohol. She shook her head slightly and finally felt a little more awake. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Chen zuolin asked with a worried expression. He no longer had his usual cold and aloof appearance. He was clearly moved. However, Jossi did not have the time to think about that. She smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. ¡± Although she looked like she had drunk a lot just now, she had actually drunk a lot. However, she kept it to a certain extent and avoided getting drunk because of excessive drinking. She had already learned her lesson from thest incident and did not want to go through it again. In addition, there was also the dangerous existence of Jianghai city. Joes would definitely not ce herself in the same situation as before. ¡°Are you really fine?¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s straight brows furrowed slightly. He was still a little worried. Joes nodded her head heavily.¡±I¡¯m really fine. But I¡¯m going to the washroom. You guys can talk first.¡± After saying goodbye to Chen zuolin, she got up and left her seat. She pushed open the door of the private room and walked toward the bathroom. After she left, a strange light shed in Xiaomei¡¯s eyes. She stood up from her seat and said,¡±¡±Brother Jiang ... I need to go to the bathroom too.¡± Xiaomei looked at Jiang hai shyly after she finished her pretentious speech. However, she realized that he was not even looking at her. Xiaomei stomped her feet in anger and left the room with her bag, no longer looking for trouble. The private room was still very lively. Even with the two of them leaving, there was no stir at all. After all, when it came to cooperation betweenpanies, other people were more reliable. Joes was only the president of a newpany. As for Xiaomei, she was even less worth mentioning. She was just a femalepanion. To put it bluntly, she was a mistress. Joes walked to the washroom and entered a cubicle. What she did not know was that Xiao Mei had followed her into the washroom. However, because they had deliberately concealed it, not a trace of footsteps could be heard at all. Crack ... Crack ... A soft sound came from outside the door. Joes stood up and frowned slightly. The word ¡°Chuan¡± appeared. She seemed to have heard some strange sound just now. However, when he tried to find the source of the sound, he could no longer find it. It was as if nothing had happened. ¡®I must have heard wrongly,¡¯ Jossi thought to herself. She then stopped thinking about this matter. On the other hand, Xiaomei had a sinister smile on her face. She was holding a bunch of bathroom keys in her hand. She was the one who had sneakily closed and even locked the bathroom door. The bathroom in this restaurant had a door and a cubicle door. The key to the door was hanging directly above. Because the restaurant was very high-ss, the customers were basically people from the upper ss. No one would do such a boring thing. However, Xiaomei was not from the upper ss. Since she had chosen to be Jianghai city¡¯s mistress, it meant that she had some moral issues. At this moment, out of jealousy towards Jossi, he even used this as an excuse to lock her up in the toilet. Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Pleasee with me

¡°Let¡¯s see how you can still be proud now. You can just stay in the toilet. ¡± Xiaomei thought viciously in her heart. She threw the key on the ground and left triumphantly. On this matter, he still had some brains and knew not to put the evidence on himself. However, she had forgotten one thing, and that was that this direction was directly facing a surveince camera. Xiaomei didn¡¯t care at all. She returned to the private room with a smug smile on her face. After entering the private room, she restrained herself a lot to avoid exposing herself. After a while. Joes pushed open the cubicle door and saw that the door to the washroom was tightly shut. A bad feeling rose in her heart. However, she didn¡¯t think too much about it for the time being. Instead, she calmly washed her hands with hand wash and dried them before slowly walking to the door. The strange sound from earlier had melded with the current scene ... Even though she had drunk alcohol, Joes¡¯s brain was still working well, and she thought of the point almost instantly. She heaved a sigh of relief and went to the door. She reached out and pulled the doorknob, but the door was already tightly locked and could not be opened at all. Sure enough! Joes released her hand, her eyes already filled with a cold light. She had guessed correctly, someone had done this on purpose, wanting to make a fool of her. As for the candidate, she already had an idea in her heart. It was just that she didn¡¯t have any evidence. ...... Other than the flirtatious woman in the private room, Xiao Mei, who didn¡¯t like her from the beginning, who else would do such a childish and boring action? Most of the people in that private room were big shots, and even if they were to use underhanded means, they would do it in an open and aboveboard manner. She was not like Xiaomei, a rat in the gutter who thought that she could embarrass others by doing so. ¡°Xiaomei ...¡± Joes squinted her eyes and muttered this name softly. She would remember this! If there was an opportunity in the future, don¡¯t me her for being impolite. After living abroad for a year, joesse had finally shown her true colors. After all, she waspletely different from before. It wasn¡¯t that she was being calctive, but Xiaomei¡¯s behavior was really unbearable. If it were someone else, they would probably be even more ruthless than her. At the thought of this, Joes took out her phone. Fortunately, she had the habit of carrying her phone with her. Otherwise, she would not know how to leave the bathroom with such good soundproofing. ¡°Luckily, I took a photo when I entered the restaurant.¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He opened the photo album on the screen and saw that the first photo was of the restaurant. He had originally nned to take it for Chen Anna to see. He didn¡¯t expect that it woulde in handy at this time. It was really a pleasant surprise. Joesse erged the photo and found the restaurant¡¯s signboard. She then noted down the phone number on it. She immediately called the restaurant¡¯s waiter and told him that the bathroom door had been deliberately locked. In the private room, Chen zuolin was a little worried when he saw that joesse had not returned for a long time. However, she was a girl, and it might take some time for her to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, so she suppressed her worries. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Squeak.¡± The door to the washroom was opened. Jossi was leaning against the wall and sneaking away when she heard the familiar voice and came back to her senses. It was the restaurant¡¯s waitress who opened the door. She was wearing a work uniform and had an apologetic look on her face. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, miss. We didn¡¯t expect such a thing to happen.¡± The waiter bowed and said. It could be seen that she was indeed very apologetic. After all, most of the people who came to the restaurant to eat were either rich or noble. If something like this happened and made people unhappy, they would be the ones to suffer if someone were to me them. Joes saw her expression and knew about this matter. She was only the president of a newpany, and she had once worked her way up step by step. Why make things difficult for her? At the thought of this, Joes said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t me you for this, but there¡¯s something I have to make clear. The door was open before I came, but it was suddenly locked after I came out. ¡± At this point, she paused for a moment and added,¡±¡±So I have reason to suspect that someone did this on purpose.¡± Joes was very certain about this matter. She nced at the surveince camera at a certain angle, and the corners of her mouth curled up. After all her calctions, she had missed this. The waitress was stunned for a moment before she realized what Joes meant. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, miss,¡± she said sternly.¡±The restaurant will not let this matter rest. We¡¯ll give you an exnation.¡± ¡°Okay, check the surveince videoter. I want to see who attacked me after I entered the bathroom.¡± Joes¡¯s tone was casual, and one could not tell what the mood was. ¡°This ...¡± Upon hearing this, her eyes narrowed slightly and she asked,¡±¡±What, can¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Miss, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t do it, but I¡¯ll have to inform the higher-ups first,¡± said the waitress with a troubled expression. Joes nodded and said,¡±I understand. I¡¯m a guest in room 488. You can go and investigate. This matter is more serious than you think.¡± A private room? After hearing this, the waitress¡¯s face changed instantly. She had been working here for many years. Room 488 was also one of the VIP rooms. The guests who could enter this room were either rich or noble, and they were definitely not existences that could be provoked. This time, he really got into a big case! The waiter¡¯s face was a little bitter. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he did not show it on his face. Which blind person was it? the guest in room 488 actually dared to y a prank on him. If he was found out, that person would be done for! ¡°Sir, we will definitely find out the truth. Pleasee with me. The manager is at the front desk.¡± After the waiter finished speaking, he made a gesture of ¡°please.¡± This matter was not something that a small waitress like her could handle. Fortunately, the manager was at the front desk today. He could even ask for help and solve this matter. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded in response and immediately followed behind the waiter to the front desk. The front desk could be seen after passing through the corridor. She immediately saw the man in the manager¡¯s uniform. When he saw her and the waitering over, he quickly came over to greet them. ¡°Manager, this is a guest in room 488. The door to the washroom was locked on purpose, so he asked me for help,¡± said the waiter. I used the spare key to open the bathroom door, so the guest wanted to check the surveince camera to find out who did it. ¡± Chapter 159

Chapter 159: I need evidence

The waiter exined it very clearly to avoid missing any details and causing any mistakester. After hearing this, the manager finally understood the whole story. A hint of shock shed across his eyes. Who was so bold as to provoke the guest in room 488? ¡°Manager, you should be able to understand what I mean, right?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. He was wearing a beige windbreaker and leather boots, which made him look extraordinary and different from ordinary people. The manager had seen countless people, so he immediately nodded and said,¡±¡±Of course I understand, Sir. Please follow me.¡± With that, he brought Joes to the surveince room. The waiter remained at the front desk. There was only one person standing guard in the control room. A hugeputer screen was ying the real-time images of various surveince cameras. However, they could only see the scene in the corridor outside. Everything inside the private room was confidential, which was also the rule of the restaurant. ¡°Little Wang.¡± After the manager came in, he called Xiao Wang, who was sitting in front of theputer chair. Hearing that, little Wang quickly stood up and asked,¡±¡±Manager, why are you here?¡± The manager nced at the surveince footage on theputer and immediately said,¡±¡±I¡¯m here to retrieve the surveince footage. You can follow this customer¡¯s request. ...... Bring out the scene she¡¯s looking for, got it?¡± Fortunately, there were surveince cameras in the corridor outside the bathroom. Otherwise, things would have been a little difficult. After hearing this, little Wang immediately understood and nodded.¡±¡±I understand, manager.¡± After that, it was Jossi¡¯s turn. She took a step forward and looked away from the monitor screen. ¡°About ten minutes ago, the surveince cameras in the corridor outside room 488 and the nearby toilets were captured. Can I get the surveince videos of these two ces? How long do you need?¡± Joes went straight to the point and looked at her employee, Xiao Wang, with a slightly puzzled look. ¡°Customer, it¡¯ll be ready in a few minutes. It¡¯ll be quick.¡± After that, Xiaowang sat down on theputer chair and began to y with the mouse on the table to pull up the surveince screen. Meanwhile, the manager and joesse stood by the side, quietly waiting for the changes in the image on the screen. After a few minutes. Xiaowang¡¯s expression eased a little. He pressed the forward button on the keyboard and the image was indeed brought up. Theputer screen showed the corridor outside room 488. It was around 16:00 pm. At 40 minutes, Jossi left the private room. That was when she went to the washroom. At the thought of this, Joes took out her phone and looked at the time. Twenty minutes had passed. He hadn¡¯t returned to the private room for twenty minutes, so he didn¡¯t know if Chen zuolin had misunderstood something. Sighing slightly, she continued to stare at theputer screen, observing the next changes. After she left the private room, there was no one else in the corridor. It was as if the scene had been frozen. After a minute, the door of room 488 was opened again. Joes¡¯s pupils contracted. The person who came out was wearing a pink tight-fitting dress. Who else could it be but the flirtatious woman, Xiao Mei? She had not guessed wrong! Looking at this scene, joesse¡¯s emotions were much calmer than she had imagined, and there were no waves in her heart. The manager¡¯s eyes twitched. He didn¡¯t expect it to be done by a guest in the same room. He didn¡¯t know what kind of enmity they had for them to actually do such a thing. The manager was a little surprised, but he only sighed in his heart and did not dare to say a word on the surface. It was better to show some respect to the guests in room 488. After ying the video, Xiaowang switched to the scene in front of the bathroom door. At first, it was Jossi who entered the washroom. After that, no one else entered. Looking at the time on the screen, about two minutester, Xiaomei, who was following closely behind, rushed to the door of the bathroom. She looked at the door with a smug smile on her face. Then, she mumbled a few words. However, the surveince screen could not broadcast her voice, so he did not know what she was saying. After saying that, Xiaomei took out the key to the bathroom door and locked it from the inside. At this point, the situation was already extremely obvious. Joes watched coldly as Xiaomei threw the key away and returned to the room gleefully. For a moment, the monitoring room was silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. The manager smiled and asked,¡±¡±This ... Customer, do you need me to invite this youngdy over?¡± They were in the same private room. This was a little too much. Despite working in the restaurant for so many years, this was the first time the manager had encountered such a situation. He didn¡¯t know what to say. Joes shook her head slightly. What was the use of inviting Xiaomei over? this kind of thing was not suitable to make a scene in public. Instead, it was better to threaten her. Aftering up with a n, Joes said,¡±¡±Can you copy this image into a USB drive for me? I can solve it myself. I don¡¯t need you to do anything. I just need evidence. ¡± ¡°Of course you can.¡± The manager quickly nodded and agreed. He gave Xiaowang a look, and Xiaowang was very understanding. He took an empty USB drive and started to copy the surveince video. The manager was d that the restaurant didn¡¯t have to step in to solve the problem. Both sides were filled with guests from room 488. They didn¡¯t look like they were to be trifled with. If they didn¡¯t do a good job, they would easily offend both sides. After copying the video, Jossi thanked him and left the surveince room. The manager also sent her off respectfully. She quickened her pace, and it had been almost half an hour since she had been here. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that she was doing something in the bathroom. As Xiaomei¡¯s actions surfaced in her mind, Joris furrowed her brows, but her lips curled into a mocking smile. They had no grudges against each other, but he was treating her like this. He had to be prepared to bear the consequences. ¡­¡­¡­ In room 488. Chen zuolin raised his eyes several times to look at the door of the private room, but he didn¡¯t see that familiar figure. It had been nearly half an hour, and he was a little worried. Could it be that he wasn¡¯t used to eating these things, or that he had an emergency, so he had to go out? His mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, but Chen zuolin¡¯s face was expressionless and his eyes were deep. No one would have thought that the cold-faced CEO Chen zuolin, who was aloof to the outside world, would be in a state of confusion at this moment. On the other side of the table, Jiang hai was drinking with otherpany bosses and discussing some cooperation matters. The sound of sses clinking could be heard constantly. Chapter 160

Chapter 160: What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand

After Xiaomei returned from the washroom, she sat quietly beside Jiang hai. In reality, he had his head lowered and his expression was proud. She had just locked Jossi in the washroom. She estimated that the B * tch would not be able toe out for a while. Ha ... She looks like a female CEO on the surface, but in reality, she¡¯s just a woman who seduces people behind their backs. Xiaomei snorted coldly. She had not seen the truth at all, but she had already made a conclusion. Because she was that kind of person, she couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous whenever she saw a woman who was more popr or more capable than her. It was also because of this that everyone had the same idea as her. ¡°Brother Jiang, do you want to drink?¡± Seeing that Jiang hai had rested for a while, Xiaomei picked up her ss and filled it with wine. Her eyes were like silk as she threw a seductive look at Jiang hai. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to them. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to seduce them in public. Jiang hai looked around and saw that no one was looking at him. He quickly picked up his ss, but his other hand was a little restless. ¡°Xiaomei, you seem to be a little noisy today.¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s greasy voice rang out. After finishing the wine in his ss, his lecherous eyes continued to sweep across Xiaomei¡¯s body. ...... ¡°Brother Jiang, that¡¯s because I missed you ...¡±Xiaomei¡¯s teasing voice sounded. The two of them talked as if there was no one else around. It was just that the others were toozy to pay attention to them, otherwise, they would have already stopped them. The banquet was originally a good one, but it had been turned into a mess by Jiang hai and Xiaomei. Chen zuolin also saw the conversation between the two. He frowned slightly and cklisted the two in his mind. Although he didn¡¯t say it, he remembered it in his heart. This would be the first andst time. The next time they were to coborate, they would have to consider it carefully when they saw Jianghai¡¯spany. Even the president was like this. She wondered if the entirepany was in a foul mood. But ... Joes had not returned. Chen zuolin really couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He even wanted to go and find out where the person had gone. The other people in the room were also puzzled as to why Joes had left for so long. However, since they were not on good terms with her, they did not ask. Thinking of this, Chen zuolin was about to get up when something happened. ¡°Creak ...¡± The door of the private room was suddenly opened. The person who walked in was Joes, who was wearing a windbreaker. She had a cold expression and an outstanding aura. After entering the private room, her eyes were fixed on Xiaomei. ¡°You ...¡± Xiaomei¡¯s eyes widened and she almost dropped the ss in her hand. Didn¡¯t she lock this woman in the washroom? Why did hee out so quickly? what exactly happened? The sudden turn of events made Xiaomei¡¯s brain unable to wrap itself around it, and her expression only returned to normal after a long time. However, his eyes were still filled with panic. That was because after Jossi returned from the washroom, would she expose her actions to these people? Xiaomei was extremely flustered. She couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva andforted herself that she would be fine. After she locked the bathroom, she threw the key to the front door away. If there was no evidence, it would be nder. After consoling herself in this way, Xiaomei wasn¡¯t as panicked as before, but her eyes were still flickering. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Joes. The other people in the room were even more confused when they saw the interaction between the two. What was going on? ¡°You¡¯re back. ¡± Chen zuolin said in a low voice with a hint of teasing. After hearing this, Joes¡¯s expression softened a little. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Yes, I just left for a while. I had something to deal with.¡± Chen zuolin seemed to understand the meaning behind these words and frowned. The two of them had known each other for more than a year, and it was not like they had no understanding of each other. Something must have happened just now, so she didn¡¯te back and wasted half an hour. At that moment, the president of Xu Corps saw that Qiao Si wasing at them aggressively and could not help but ask,¡±¡±President Qiao, what happened?¡± As long as one wasn¡¯t a fool, one could probably tell that the atmosphere was a little strange. Joes did not intend to hide anything. She did not want to cause a scene in public, but the hint and the threat ... It seemed to be a good idea! ¡°Something did happen, and it was done by people in the same box.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. She looked at Xiaomei, who was sitting on her seat, and the smile on her face became brighter. Did he really think that she would not dare to say it? Regardless of which it was, Joes would not let it go easily. Since he dared to provoke her, he had to be prepared. After hearing this hint, Xiaomei¡¯s body suddenly stiffened, not knowing what to say. This woman ... Why did she really say it? Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the two of them, making them curious about what had just happened. It was also at this moment that they recalled that when joesse went to the washroom earlier on, Xiao Mei seemed to have followed closely behind. Jiang hai looked at his sister unhappily. Could this woman have caused him trouble again? Just now, they had a loving look on their faces, but now, they immediately changed. He really changed his attitude like flipping a book. Chen zuolin¡¯s face also darkened. He looked at Xiaomei with dark eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. ¡°Pa!¡± After a series of sounds, jorsi ced the USB drive on the table. She still had a faint smile on her face and her tone was very calm. No emotions could be heard. ¡°You should know what you were doing just now. I don¡¯t know what to say, but since you¡¯ve done this, please be prepared to ept the result.¡± He emphasized every word and sentence. Towards the end, even his tone was heavier. Upon hearing this, the crowd could more or less guess that Xiaomei must have done something to make joesse unhappy. She had just had a few drinks, and even though she did not know what her nature was like, Joes still looked very generous. Yet, she was so angry now. Xiaomei must have done something. ¡°What ... What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡± Xiaomei lowered her head and did not dare to admit it, but her body was trembling slightly. Impossible, how could this B * tch have evidence? When she left the washroom, she had even lost her keys. There was no one nearby, so it was impossible for anyone to see her actions. Xiaomei had thought of most of the possibilities, but she did not expect that there would be a surveince camera in the corridor outside the washroom. President Xu raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly became interested. Chapter 161 - Apologize or not apologize

Chapter 161: Apologize or not apologize

It wasn¡¯t just President Xu, many other people also showed an interested expression. They had wanted to ask Joes what had happened earlier, but since she did not want to say, they did not ask. Chen zuolin¡¯s seat was right beside Joes. He lifted his eyes slightly and could see her beautiful face. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. Joes continued to speak andughed coldly,¡±¡±So you¡¯re not going to admit it, or do you think I don¡¯t have any evidence?¡± You definitely don¡¯t have any evidence! Xiaomei thought to herself. Her face almost twisted uncontrobly, but she had to spend a lot of effort to suppress it. A group of people stared at her. For the first time, she became the focus of everyone¡¯s attention, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be in such a way. A momentter, Xiaomei swallowed her saliva and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, you may be the president, but you can¡¯t nder me like this. I¡¯m President Jiang¡¯s femalepanion, aren¡¯t you not giving him face?¡± As they spoke, Xiaomei brought the topic back to Jianghai. She conveniently pulled out such a huge g and ced the two of them in the same camp. What a good method. After hearing this, joesse almostughed out loud. The evidence was on the table, but Xiaomei was still lying to herself. She really did not know where her intelligence came from. ...... However, Jiang hai was very pleased with her words,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, President Qiao. I brought Xiaomei here. If there¡¯s anything, I¡¯ll have to trouble President Qiao to give me face and not make a fuss about it.¡± At this moment, he was extremely shameless. Some people frowned and couldn¡¯t listen to him anymore. Who was he, Jianghai? However, it was one of the more powerful existences in city H. If one were to really look at the entire country, it was unknown if it could be ranked in the top 100. Chen zuolin had invited Jianghai to the banquet because he thought highly of him. He didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to even say such words. Joes lowered her eyes slightly and picked up the USB drive on the table with her fair fingers, exposing it to the public so that they could clearly see what it was. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, the evidence is in my hands. Director Jiang, I really want to give you face, but this is my first time attending a banquet. Your female partner doesn¡¯t wee me. If I bear with it, I¡¯m afraid that in the future, others will think that I, the president of Xing Yuan design, am weak and easy to bully. By then, who will look down on me?¡± With that, joesse smiled and held the USB in her palm. She looked at Xiaomei. Although her words were harsh, she couldn¡¯t find any mistakes in them. It was normal for two women to have unspeakable things between them. It was enough that the two of them knew what had happened just now. Therefore, everyone present only needed to know one thing, and that was that the evidence was in Joes ¡®hands. Chen zuolin nced at Jiang hai and Xiaomei, his knuckles tapping on the table. With a dark expression, he said,¡±What President Qiao said ... Makes sense.¡± Many people¡¯s expressions changed, including Jiang hai ¡®s. Chen zuolin¡¯s words had already expressed his stance. He was on Joes ¡®side and supported her statement. Hengyuan investment was one of the toppanies in the country. Since Chen zuolin was the CEO of the entirepany, it fully illustrated his position. This banquet was also organized by him. Even the protagonist had spoken, so the others also expressed their positions. ¡°That¡¯s right, President Jiang. What President Qiao said does make sense. It¡¯s best if we don¡¯t get involved in their matters.¡± ¡°Xing Yuan design is a newpany, after all, so I should give President Qiao some face.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Since President Chen has said so, President Jiang, you should stop protecting your femalepanion.¡± Even the president of the Xu family said,¡±¡±Director Jiang, the innocent are innocent.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The tide of the battle changed instantly. Most of the people were on Joes ¡®side, even if they did not know what had happened earlier. However, this didn¡¯t stop them from pledging their allegiance to Chen zuolin. If they could win his favor over such a small matter, then they would have earned it. Upon seeing this, joesse cast a grateful gaze at Chen zuolin, a smile appearing on her lips. She opened her mouth slightly and mouthed the word ¡°thank you,¡± which made Chen zuolin¡¯s mood better and swept away the gloominess from earlier. What Joes was thinking was that if not for him, things would not have gone so smoothly. At the very least, Jianghai was not an easy target to deal with. No matter what, they had been developing in city h for so many years. Their power must be stronger than she had imagined. With Jianghai¡¯s protection, it was still unknown if he could teach Xiaomei a lesson. However, after Chen zuolin made his move, the situation changed. Would Jianghai dare to go against the president of such arge corporation just for a mistress? That would be a stupid way of doing things! As expected, it was just as Joes had expected. Jiang Hai¡¯s expression changed when he heard Chen zuolin¡¯s words. In addition to the mocking looks from the others, he was even more furious. ¡°What did you do to President Qiao just now? apologize now!¡± He turned to Xiao Mei and shouted. This change caught Xiaomei by surprise. She did not expect that even putting Jianghai on her side would be useless. ¡°I ... I really didn¡¯t do anything,¡± Xiaomei said, gritting her teeth.¡±It¡¯s President Qiao who¡¯s ndering me.¡± She made up her mind to never admit it. The little beauty was certain that joesse had no evidence and was just using it to scare people. Upon hearing this, joesse¡¯s expression became unfathomable. She opened her mouth slightly and said,¡±¡±It seems like you don¡¯t want to admit it. Go to the surveince room? When the evidence is in front of you, I¡¯ll see how you¡¯re going to argue!¡± Her tone was extremely serious and her words were righteous. In contrast to Xiaomei¡¯s weak look, anyone would know who to believe. The surveince room? Xiaomei¡¯s back broke out in cold sweat when she heard the word. How could she have forgotten that there were surveince cameras? didn¡¯t they see her lock the door of the washroom just now? Beads of cold sweat kept forming on her forehead, but Xiaomei didn¡¯t have the mood to wipe them off. Upon seeing this, joesse also understood something and smiled.¡±¡±You should be able to understand what I¡¯m saying, right?¡± She had evidence, but she didn¡¯t want to make it public. At this moment, Xiaomei knew that her selffort was just a fluke. This B * tch ... She really had evidence! Xiaomei¡¯s face twisted as she said,¡±¡±President Qiao, regarding this matter, I ...¡± She stammered for a long time, but she still did not get to the point. ¡°I¡¯m asking you, are you going to apologize or not?¡± Joes had a yful smile on her face, and her aura was so powerful that anyone who saw her could not help but take a few steps back. Chapter 162

Chapter 162: You¡¯re too humble

Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Xiaomei, and the pressure was as heavy as a mountain. Beside him, Jiang Hai¡¯s gaze was even more vicious as he hissed through gritted teeth,¡±Did you hear that? President Qiao is asking if you¡¯re going to apologize.¡± Xiaomei could not take it anymore under the pressure. She suppressed all the hatred in her heart and forced a smile. She said awkwardly,¡±¡±President Qiao, I ... Didn¡¯t think too much. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xiaomei lowered her head slightly, hatred gathering in her eyes. She had embarrassed her in front of so many people. Jossi, she would definitely take revenge! Xiaomei didn¡¯t even care about her nails digging into her flesh. At this moment, only the hatred in her heart could make her care. Looking at her indignant expression, Jossi looked at her coldly. She really did not give up on her evil intentions. Did he really think she was made of mud? At the thought of this, Joes said,¡±¡±In that case, you should have admitted to what you did just now. From now on, Xing Yuan designpany will cklist youpletely, whether it¡¯s our partners or the various jewelry under my name. As long as you or your immediate family members want to buy it, there¡¯s only one word to describe it-no way!¡± After she finished speaking, joesse had no intention of saying anything else and sat down beside Chen zuolin. ...... This request did not seem strict, but it was the result of her careful consideration. Since Xiaomei had managed to hook up with a man like Jiang hai and had even locked him up in the washroom, she must be vain and jealous. One could tell from the branded clothes she was wearing that it was probably all bought for her by Jianghai. Qiao si si was confident that in time, Xing Yuan design would also be a jewelry designpany that was on par with Shiyupany, or even more famous. By then, no one would be allowed to buy any high-end jewelry, be it Xiaomei or anyone else. If Xingyuan design was strong enough, most of the jewelry designpanies on the market could be partners. Since Xiaomei was so jealous, he would use this to teach her a lesson. It wasn¡¯t too serious, but with so many people around, Joes couldn¡¯t go too far, so she chose this method that was a little more of apromise. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t buy any jewelry under the name of Xing Yuan designpany ... It¡¯ll be fine?¡± Xiaomei said in disbelief. She had thought that joesse would have harsh requirements, but it was only this. Xing Yuan designs was just a smallpany that had just been established and had no reputation at all. She was not interested in buying jewelry. Xiaomei looked disdainful and nodded,¡±¡±Then I won¡¯t buy any in the future.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Joes replied indifferently. The other big shots present were also a little surprised. It seemed that this female CEO designed by Xing Yuan was particrly confident. The banquet continued, but the atmosphere was a little different from before. After the trouble Xiaomei had caused, Jianghai was no longer willing to deal with her. Hepletely ignored her. Seeing this, Xiaomei gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She could only chop off her feet and digest her anger. On the other hand, Joes kept the USB sh drive and took a bite of a cantaloupe. The sweet taste filled his taste buds and lifted his mood. ¡°Miss Qiao, what happened just now?¡± Chen zuolin muttered to himself for two seconds before moving his thin lips slightly. He didn¡¯t know what had happened just now. If Xiaomei had gone too far ... Not to mention Jossi, even Chen zuolin would not let her off! The so-called requirement of not buying any jewelry under Xing Yuan¡¯s name was too easy to deal with, and it could not serve as a warning to others at all. Upon hearing that, Joes took a bite of her cantaloupe and swallowed it before saying,¡±¡±It¡¯s not a big problem. It¡¯s just locked in the bathroom. It¡¯s fine. ¡± She lowered her voice to avoid being heard. However, Chen zuolin did hear it. He nodded slightly, but his eyes darkened. That Xiaomei actually dared to do such a thing. It seemed that he had to make a move. After the banquet ended, everyone left their seats one after another. After bidding Chen zuolin farewell, they left the private room one by one. Xiaomei followed behind Jiang hai. Her previous arrogance had disappeared without a trace. When she passed by Joes, she raised her eyes to look at her before leaving in a Huff. In the end, only joesse and Chen zuolin were left in the huge private room, along with a table full of mess. It wasn¡¯t that it was dirty and messy, but that there were countless empty wine sses and bottles. Joes picked up her bag and smiled,¡±¡±Chief Chen, I¡¯ll go home first. Thank you for your help. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able toe into contact with so many big bosses in city H. ¡± Her words came from the bottom of her heart, but they were filled with gratitude. Chen zuolin¡¯s face was expressionless, but in reality, he was already feeling a sense of joy in his heart, but he had suppressed it and had not vented it. ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯re too polite,¡± he said, pursing his lips.¡±It¡¯s no big deal.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too humble. ¡± The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker, Joes did not stay any longer. She turned around and left the private room. Chen zuolin, who was behind her, stared at her graceful back and a rare smile appeared on his face. Then, he took out his phone and called his assistant. ¡°President, is there anything I can do for you?¡± The assistant on the other end of the line was very understanding. He answered the phone and said this. He wasn¡¯t a fool. If his boss suddenly called him, there must be something he needed to talk to him about. Hearing this, Chen zuolin paused and said,¡±¡±To collect some precious jewelry, as well as some jewelry that can be used as the finale.¡± ¡°President, you¡¯re going to ...¡± The assistant was a little confused. Hengyuan investment¡¯s main business was not the jewelry business, although he heard that the president had recently invested in a newly establishedpany. But why did he collect so much jewelry? ¡°An auction,¡± Chen zuolin said indifferently. These three simple words had already exined his purpose. The assistant immediately understood and quickly said,¡±¡±I understand, President. I can finish it in two days.¡± ¡°As soon as possible,¡± Chen zuolin hung up after he finished speaking. He was also paving the way for Xing Yuan designpany. He wanted to make a name for himself in the beginning so that it would be more convenient for him to do thingster. Perhaps such a disy would attract the attention of many people in the outside world, and even jealousy. However, Xing Yuan designpany was backed by Chen zuolin, so he wasn¡¯t worried about these small things at all. They would hold an auction first, and then the star Yuan designs would make a name for themselves in the high-end jewelry market. The rest could be consideredter. Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Just you wait

As he thought of this, Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t help but smile. However, he might not be needed in the future. Joes ¡®methods were beyond his imagination, and she should be able to take on the position of President. Chen zuolin was in an extremely good mood, so he slowly left the restaurant. ¡­¡­¡­ It was night. A bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint light. Only the streetmps illuminated the road ahead. Joes, who was carrying a bag on her shoulder, looked at the destroyed streetlights in front of her and could not help but frown. ¡°It¡¯s broken?¡± She mumbled softly, but she did not stop and continued walking. There weren¡¯t many people around, and the scene was quite familiar. Joes walked forward step by step and quickened her pace. Just as she was about to cross the road, a man¡¯s voice suddenly rang out from behind her. ¡°Wait ...¡± Upon hearing this unfamiliar voice, Joris¡¯s heart clenched. She forced herself to calm down and stood still. The reason was none other than the fact that these robbers were armed! ...... At this moment, there was a sharp object pressed against Joes ¡®waist. If she moved slightly, it would be able to Pierce her clothes. He finally knew why it felt so familiar. It was the same scene as when he was threatened by the robber in Yunqi. However, no one woulde to save her this time. Joes calmed down and looked at the streetlight in front of her. She asked,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be rash. Do you want money? I can give it to you. ¡± In the face of life, money was nothing. The robber behind her was stunned, clearly shocked by Joes¡¯s calmness. He had been robbing people on this road for so long, but this was the first time he had seen such a calm woman. Although the street lights were dark, he had an inexplicable feeling that this was a beautiful woman. ¡°Hand over all your money, do you hear me?¡± The robber said fiercely. Such a woman must be very rich. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded her head slightly. She had wanted to throw her bag far away, but this position would not work. Moreover, the robber behind him had already grabbed the bag tightly, so there was no way to throw it away. Feeling helpless, Joes could only hand over the bag in her hands to the robber when she felt the knife on her waist tighten. Now, they could only wait and see if there was a chance to escape while the robber let his guard down. The robber took the bag, but his hand was firmly holding the knife. He opened his bag and took out his wallet. When he opened it, he really saw a neat stack of cash. Joesse had just returned to the country and had left quite a bit of money behind. She exchanged some cash and ced it in her bag. He didn¡¯t expect that he would have to spend it now after just changing some. ¡°Tsk, you still have quite a bit of cash.¡± The robber put the wallet back into his pocket and sounded satisfied. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you my money. Can you let me go now?¡± Joes¡¯s heart tightened. ¡°Let you go?¡± Hearing this, the robber behind him sneered as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. After a long while, he finally said,¡±a beauty like you, if I only take the money and let you go, wouldn¡¯t that be too much of a pity?.¡± Then, an ear-piercingugh rang in his ears. Rage welled up in Joes ¡®heart. As expected, it was impossible to reason with a robber like this. Who knew what they wanted to do? his safety was the most important thing! The robber moved the knife to Joes¡¯s neck andughed evilly,¡±¡±I advise you not to move. Otherwise, when the White knife enters and the red knifees out, don¡¯t me me for not showing mercy. ¡± ¡°What exactly do you want to do?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were cold. She didn¡¯t move, worried that she would anger the robber behind her and make him deal with her directly. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what I want to do?¡± The robber was holding a knife in one hand, but his other hand started to get restless, touching joesse¡¯s clothes. ¡°You!¡± Joesse was a little angry. Before she could retaliate, a ¡°bang!¡± Was heard from behind her. The knife at his waist also disappeared. ¡°Ah!¡± The robber¡¯s screams sounded, and it was extremely clear on the empty street. Someone ... Ising? A glimmer of hope appeared in Joes ¡®eyes. She turned around and saw the robber wailing on the ground. The wallet that he had snatched away was already being held by a figure. That figure was simply too familiar, and Joes felt that she would never forget it for the rest of her life. He had a slender figure, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and had a handsome face. It was Zheng Zeyi, who had left long ago. At this moment, he had suddenly appeared here. The faint light of the streetmp shone on Zheng Zeyi, making him seem to be surrounded by a faint circle of light. He was like a god who had descended to the mortal world, handsome and unparalleled. Her heart suddenly beat faster, and her face turned slightly red. Joes ¡®heart throbbed intensely. There was also a numbing sensation that was too strong and menacing. She was unable toe back to her senses for a long time because this scene was too familiar. It was the same for himst time, saving people from fire and water. If it was not for Zheng Zeyi, she might not have been able to escape even if she did it twice. Zheng ze held his wallet in his hand and looked coldly at the robber who was wailing on the ground.¡±¡±Get lost!¡± His voice was cold and sharp, making people feel fear. The robber was the same. He could not help but swallow his saliva when he saw Zheng ze¡¯s terrifying gaze. However, he did not dare to snatch the wallet from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands. The pain from the kick was so clear that the robber felt as if his intestines were being twisted together. ¡°You¡¯re not getting lost?¡± Zheng Zeyi repeated, his voice even more dangerous. He took a step forward and stood in front of the robber with his long legs. Under the shadow, his towering figure carried a powerful aura, making people unable to have the thought of resisting. The robber clutched his stomach and quickly took a few steps back to put some distance between him and Zheng Zeyi. A momentter, he said in a trembling voice,¡±¡±Very good, you ... Just you wait!¡± After saying that, he quickly got up from the ground and ran away without looking back, without a trace of hesitation. He was afraid that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s next kick wouldnd on his body if he was too slow. It was really too painful. After the robber ran away, the street instantly became quiet. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brows rxed slightly as his gazended on Joes, only to see her staring at him in a daze. ¡°Ha ...¡± She could not help but chuckle. His maic voice immediately snapped Jossi out of her daze, and she wished she could find a hole to hide in. Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Clean up city h

It was really too embarrassing. He could not even snap out of his daze and did not even blink. Joes¡¯s face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head slightly to hide her abnormality. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi picked up the bag on the ground and put the wallet back in it. His slender fingers swept away the dust on it. Her every move revealed an elegant aura. Even the action of sweeping the dust away was so beautiful that it made people lose themselves in it. Joes shook her head in an attempt to wake herself up. It was probably because she had drunk too much earlier. Otherwise, why would he look like he was drunk? ¡°Your bag.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was heard as he ced the bag in joesse¡¯s hands. A slight warmth was transmitted through her palm. Joes nodded her head slightly and said in embarrassment,¡±¡±...Thank you.¡± If it had not been for Zheng Zeyi, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The robber did not just want money. He even wanted to do something else to Joes. There was a natural gap between the strength of men and women. If Jossi had not found a way to escape back then, she would not have known how to save herself in this deserted Street. ...... As Joes felt a little guilty, her voice was as soft as a mosquito¡¯s mumble, and it could not be heard clearly. A satisfied smile appeared on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face as he said,¡±¡±What did you say? you were too quiet. I didn¡¯t hear you clearly.¡± ¡°I ...¡± Joesse choked, and only managed to speak after a long while,¡±¡±I said, thank you for this.¡± The slight blush on her face gradually faded, and the nervousness she felt earlier had also disappeared. Zheng ze raised his eyes slightly. The pressure on his body had improved a little, and it was clear that he was in a much better mood. A gentle breeze blew past, lifting up her scattered ck hair. Joes reached behind her ear, but she did not know how charming she looked to outsiders. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened, and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed up and down, but he managed to suppress the strange feeling in his heart. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, I¡¯ll send you home. ¡± Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze and led the way. Her long legs moved extremely quickly. By the time Joes could react, she had already walked quite a distance away. She quickly chased after him and said,¡±¡±Wait for me,¡± he said. The two of them walked side by side on the street. The street lights were dim, but their shadows were very long, and they looked a little hazy. Joes opened her mouth a few times, but eventually swallowed the words she wanted to say. The fact that Zheng ze had always exposed himself to yang Yueyue was like a fish bone stuck in her throat, and she did not know how to bring it up. In the one year that she had been living abroad, Qiao sisi had rarely thought of Zheng Zeyi. Just when she thought that she hadpletely forgotten about this man, they met again in the restaurant. The first meeting was awkward, but what moved her was that he had once again barged into her world like a Savior. At the thought of this, joesse made up her mind, her expression firm. ¡°You ...¡± The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, and their voices that were almost fused together stunned them. ¡°You go first,¡± Joes said with a smile. No matter what, it was Zheng Zeyi who had saved her. She was not the kind of person who would bear grudges and forget favors. He would definitely find a way to repay her, but he had no idea how to do it yet. Upon hearing Qiao sisi¡¯s words, a faint smile shed across Zheng ze¡¯s good-looking eyes, and his smile became gentler. ¡°What have you been doing overseas for the past year?¡± he asked. Hearing that, Joes did not hide anything,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t do much. I just learned about business operations and jewelry design to improve my abilities.¡± Only in this way could he realize his dream when he returned to the country. Even though it had been a year since the incident at Jin Yu¡¯spany, Qiao si still yearned for that atmosphere whenever she thought about it. Thinking of this, Lin ya and Wang Li¡¯s figures suddenly appeared in her mind. She didn¡¯t know how they were. If he had the chance, he would go and take a look. ¡°Looks like you¡¯ve learned quite a bit.¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up slightly, but in the next moment, his smile was tainted with a little gloominess. After hesitating for a while, he still asked,¡±¡±You and Chen zuolin ... What¡¯s your rtionship?¡± Zheng Zeyi had remembered it in his heart when he saw it at the restaurant. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes turned dark and dangerous when he saw the man standing beside joesse. As if she did not expect him to ask this question again, Joes was slightly taken aback before she exined,¡±¡±He and I are just ordinary friends.¡± At this point, Joes paused and frowned.¡±But ... We really have nothing to do with each other. It¡¯s better if you don¡¯t ask about my private life. You can just treat the matter of pretending to be fianc¨¦e as a thing of the past. ¡± After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked in front. The two of them did not speak for the rest of the journey. Zheng Zeyi left after he sent Joes to her apartment. Looking at the slender back view, Joes had aplicated expression. ¡°AI.¡± Sighing slightly, she turned around and went up the stairs. She adjusted her emotions and acted as if nothing had happened. She was not going to tell Chen Anna about the robbery. However, it was necessary to give him some advice. He didn¡¯t know what was going on in city h recently, but there was a public robbery on the streets. Zheng Zeyi returned to the car, took out his phone, and called assistant li. ¡°President, please give me your orders.¡± There was a cold glint in his eyes, which was particrly dangerous in the dark. He said word by word,¡±¡±Clean up city H. Don¡¯t let me see this kind of robber again.¡± The incident with the robbers was still vivid in his mind. Even the high and mighty Zheng Zeyi did not dare to recall it. If he didn¡¯te in time, what would have happened? Could Joes, a weak woman, really fight against that fierce robber? The possibility was too slim. Hence, Zheng Zeyi decided to solve the problem at its root. As long as the atmosphere in city h was adjusted and he made a move on the guard post, not a single robber would be able to escape. That way, joesse¡¯s journey would be much safer. Zheng Zeyi would not be able to make it in time every time, but he had to ensure his fianc¨¦e¡¯s safety. ¡°Yes! President!¡± Assistant li immediately understood what his CEO meant. After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zeyi put down his phone, his eyes determined to win. ¡­¡­¡­ In the next few days, city h could be said to have been cleaned up without joesse¡¯s knowledge. There were almost no criminals on the streets, and most of them were arrested and locked up in the detention center. The news had also reported it, but joesse did not pay much attention to it. Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Do you have an appointment?

In the bustling section of city h, Xing Yuan designpany. To this day, star dors had gained some poprity within thepany, as Joes and Millie had already settled thepany¡¯s system and benefits. The recruitment of employees was already in progress, and Jossi spent almost every day in the office. There were too many things to deal with, and she wished she could learn how to split herself. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± There was a sudden knock on the office door. Even without asking, Jossi knew who it was. After all, Miley was the only person working at Xing Yuan designpany. It could not be anyone else. Joes rubbed her brows and her expression rxed a little. She said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± After saying this, the office door was pushed open, and Miley walked in with a pile of documents in her arms. ¡°President Qiao, I¡¯m ready for the recruitment. Do you want to start now?¡± Millie asked in a professional tone. The documents in her hands were all rted to this issue and some systems. To run apany properly, a good system was essential. ¡°Let me see.¡± Joes said. ...... After briefly browsing through the documents in Millie¡¯s hands, she had a rough idea of what was going on. Miley was indeed a very good Assistant to the President. She could do almost everything perfectly. It was no wonder that Chen zuolin had taken a fancy to her when she invested in Hengyuan. It was indeed because of her outstanding ability. Since Chen zuolin had sent over such a good assistant, Jossi had to find a chance to thank him. After looking through the document, joesse nodded her head.¡±You can start preparing now. Let¡¯s start the day after tomorrow. I have something to deal with here. We might need to recruit two employees first, and you¡¯ll officially start the recruitment the day after tomorrow. Just follow the requirements on the documents. ¡± ¡°Yes! President Qiao. ¡± Millie said cautiously. Just as she was about to leave the office, Joes suddenly recalled something and called out to her. Millie turned around in confusion and asked,¡±¡±President, is there anything else you need?¡± Joes shook her head slightly. Millie had done most of the work well, and there was nothing else she wanted to tell him. She just remembered a small thing. At the thought of this, joesse moved her red lips and asked,¡±¡±Check how much starting capital thepany has now. I¡¯ll let you know if I have any ideas. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Miley left the president¡¯s office. A few minutester, she sent a message to joesse¡¯s phone. He turned on his phone, and the screen showed thepany¡¯s current funds. The number of words on the screen was a little dazzling. It was 10 million! The number of zeros at the end was enough to make people dazed. If she had not seen the market before, she would have been even more surprised. ¡°Hiss ...¡± Shock shed across Joes ¡®eyes. It had only been a few days since she took over Xingyuan design, and this was the first time she was learning about thepany¡¯s current assets. Chen zuolin was really generous. He had invested ten million Yuan in apany that had just started. He wasn¡¯t afraid of making a loss. If that were the case, this 10 million would go down the drain. Joes turned off her phone helplessly, but she would try her best not to let this happen. Chen zuolin wasn¡¯t the only one who had hope for the star essence design, she did as well. Moreover, she was now the president of Xing Yuanpany, so she naturally hoped that herpany would move towards a higher goal. ¡°It seems that many things I want to do can be implemented.¡± Joes mumbled softly as she came up with a n. After knowing that thepany had sufficient funds, some ideas were not just ideas, but they could be tried. However, it was still too early. He had to solve the employee problem first. He did as he said. Joes tidied up the documents on her desk and looked at the time. It was time for most office workers to get off work. The timing was just right. She picked up her coat, put it on, and left the president¡¯s office immediately. Millie, who was working overtime outside, was stunned and asked,¡±¡±President Qiao, where are you going?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes raised her brows at her and her smile became even more radiant, causing her to be a little dazed. ¡°It¡¯s a secret,¡± After saying that, Joes left thepany. At the same time, she took out her phone and sent a message to a phone number. Meet at the crown restaurant. The person who had sent the message was an old acquaintance. They had not met for more than a year, and this was the first time they had met after so long. The crown restaurant was very close to Xing Yuan designpany, and it was only a ten-minute walk away, but she couldn¡¯t wait. His old acquaintance also replied very quickly. See you in five minutes. Looking at this message, Joes could not help but chuckle and hailed an empty taxi on the road. ¡°Master, crown restaurant.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The driver responded enthusiastically, stepped on the elerator, and set off for the restaurant. Joesse looked at the scenery that shed past the window and the car. Should she get a car now? As the president of apany, it would be a little degrading to go out by car. At the thought of this, joesse felt that she could still consider this idea. When thepany was on the right track, she would buy a car, which would be more convenient for her to travel. Joes had a driver¡¯s license, but she had never driven. About three to four minutester, the car arrived at crown restaurant. City h¡¯s city center was very prosperous, and there were countless restaurants, giving the residents a lot of choices. The reason why Joes had chosen this restaurant was very simple. She had once told her old acquaintance that she would treat her to a good meal, but for some reason, she had not been able to fulfill this promise. She tidied up her clothes and stepped into crown restaurant. Crown restaurant¡¯s decorations leaned towards the European style, revealing a touch of luxury, not low-key at all. It was a ce that ordinary people couldn¡¯t afford toe. Joes did not have much money left, only about 70000 to 80000. She had spent a lot of money this year overseas, and this was already what she had saved up from not going out and shopping much. As for thepany¡¯s funds, they belonged to Chen zuolin¡¯s investment, so they naturally couldn¡¯t be used. After they entered the restaurant, the waiter at the side greeted them,¡±¡±Wee, miss. Do you have an appointment?¡± The waitress had a sweet smile on her face, and her attitude was extremelyfortable. Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Xiaoya, what¡¯s wrong?

Joes revealed a faint smile and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t have an appointment, are there any avable rooms now?¡± After all, they were poaching people, so it was better to talk in the private room. Otherwise, if they talked about such things in public, even if no one noticed, they would still feel a little guilty. Hearing this, the waitress shook her head awkwardly and said apologetically,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, miss. All the private rooms have been reserved. But there¡¯s a quiet four-seater seat by the window. I wonder if it meets your requirements. ¡± Crown restaurant¡¯s business was usually very good, so the loss of the private room was expected. ¡°Sure,¡± Joes nodded. As long as it was quiet, she could ept it. The service staff heaved a sigh of relief and led joesse to the four-seater seat. It was indeed a good one. Since it was a window seat on the second floor, they could see the night view outside through the clear ss window. It was almost evening, and the night market outside was already lit up with neon lights, which was quite dazzling. Joesse ordered a steak for three people and some other side dishes, then sat down quietly and waited. After about a minute, his phone started to ring. ...... Joes¡¯s eyes lit up as she picked up the call. She heard a familiar female voice. ¡°Sisi, Wang Li and I have arrived at the entrance of crown restaurant. Are you there yet?¡± It was Lin ya, whom he had not seen for a year, and Wang Li, who she had dragged along. Joes smiled.¡±I¡¯m already waiting for you in the restaurant. Just tell the waiter that you¡¯ll be seated at the back by the window.¡± ¡°Good! Just wait for us!¡± Lin ya said, and then the phone rang.¡±Toot du du.¡± Not long after, Qiao sisi saw Lin ya and Wang Li, who were being led by the waitress. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for a year, but Lin ya was still as lively asst year and liked girly-style clothes. However, Wang Li was different. Time had allowed her to grow a lot. ¡°Quickly sit down.¡± Joes quickly stood up and beckoned for the two of them to sit down. At this moment, the side dishes from crown restaurant were served, along with a few sses of 100% fruit juice. The aroma was very tempting. Lin ya hugged joesse and felt a stinging sensation in her nose,¡±¡±Sisi, it¡¯s been a year.¡± Joes gently patted her back.¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. Aren¡¯t I back already?¡± Wang Li, who was sitting at the side, smiled helplessly. This year, after Qiao sisi left, she was the one who suffered. Every day, she would listen to Lin ya¡¯s gossip about thepany. It was still fine for a day or two as she felt that it was fresh. However, as time passed, she felt that her ears were about to get calluses. However, their feelings for each other were also gradually growing, and they were now almost at the stage of best friends. It was just like how Joes and Anna Chen understood each other with just a look and a sentence. Soon, Lin ya also sat down. After gulping down a mouthful of fruit juice, she picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. ¡°Sisi, how have you been abroad for the past year? What did he learn? Are you not leaving this time?¡± The questions came one after another. Even Wang Li was curious, let alone Lin ya. Joes also patiently exined,¡±¡±I¡¯ve had a good year abroad. With help, I¡¯ve learned a lot. I¡¯ve started my ownpany called Xing Yuan design, and I don¡¯t have any intention of leaving for the time being. ¡± She answered all the questions in one breath because she already knew the answers. The purpose of going abroad was to have a better return. Since she could stay in city h, she naturally did not want to leave this ce that she had worked so hard for for so many years. Moreover, with Xing Yuan designpany, he had another goal to strive for. Lin ya raised an eyebrow at joesse¡¯s words and asked curiously,¡±¡±Xing Yuan designpany?¡± Wang Li¡¯s gaze also fell on Jossi. The two of them had never heard of her before, so it should be a newpany. Joes smiled and nodded, saying,¡±¡±It¡¯s a new jewelry designpany, and it¡¯s still in its early stages. Don¡¯t look at me with such surprise. It¡¯s not as good as running your ownpany and designing jewelry as you please. ¡± Jossi was a jewelry designer, and she would never forget her original intentions. Jian Lipany also wanted to be a jewelry designer¡¯s dream, but this goal ... Was still too difficult to achieve. After all, with Jin Yupany leading the charge in the country, how would the jewelry designers notice otherpanies? Wang Li took a sip of her juice and smiled.¡±¡±Sisi¡¯s right, it¡¯s better to set up your ownpany. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to it. ¡± Lin ya¡¯s expression was envious. The two of them were different. Although Wang Li was also working at Shiyupany, most of her work was done out of interest. If she wanted to leave, she could do so at any time. Previously, when she was fighting with Wei Ya, Joes had already guessed this. However, Lin ya couldn ¡®t. She still had to make a living at home, so she could only choose to stay in Shiyu. The three of them chatted andughed for a while before the steak was served by the waiter. The steak was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of juice, which was very appetizing at first nce. Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but pick up her knife and fork. After taking a bite of the steak, her face was full of satisfaction. At this time, they finally cut into the main topic. Wang Li picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you didn¡¯t call us here today just to reminisce, right?¡± Joesse¡¯s meaning was actually a little obvious, and she even mentioned her newly opened Xing Yuan designpany. Jossi nodded.¡±That¡¯s right. Actually ... I¡¯d like to invite you to join mypany.¡± At the end of her sentence, she raised her eyebrows slightly. No matter what Lin ya and Wang Li thought, she wouldn¡¯t interfere. She just wanted to give it a try. Both of them were talents, and Joes had never thought that she would one day do something like poaching them. At the thought of this, Joes could not help but chuckle. ¡°Swish!¡± A crisp sound was heard, and Lin ya¡¯s stunned expression gradually rxed. She quickly picked up the knife and fork on the table. She lowered her head with a slightly red face and said,¡±¡±I ... identally ...¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. What¡¯s wrong with you, Xiao Ya?¡± Joes furrowed her brows and asked worriedly. She noticed that something was wrong with Lin ya, so she asked a few more questions without thinking too much about it. Chapter 167

Chapter 167: I don¡¯t want to be an ingrate

Lin ya quickly waved her hand and said happily,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just a little happy that you actually invited me to yourpany. ¡± She didn¡¯t mean anything else, she was just happy. She still remembered that joesse had asked Lin ya if she was willing to jump ship to herpany, and she had agreed without hesitation. However, Joes had been gone for almost a year, and Lin ya had almost forgotten about this. He did not expect joesse to bring this up the moment she returned to the country. Compared to Jin Yupany, Lin ya was more willing to believe in Qiao si si, and she also believed that her good friend¡¯spany had more prospects. ¡°Xiao Ya, why are you so happy?¡± Joes smiled as well, her mood instantly improving. Without waiting for her to continue asking, Wang Li, who was beside her, spoke first,¡±¡±Sisi, you don¡¯t have to ask anymore. We can both leave Shiyu.¡± Upon hearing this, the person who was stunned was Jossi. Her red lips were slightly open, but she didn¡¯t know what to say for a long time. She just felt a little emotional. He thought he would have to spend some time asking, but Lin ya and Huo yunshen supported him without hesitation. After a moment, joesse suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart and asked,¡±¡±You guys ... How did you guys agree so quickly?¡± Lin ya had just stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth, and she said with a muffled voice,¡±¡±Of course I trust you. Yourpany must be doing well. ...... Besides, didn¡¯t you ask me before? I¡¯ve already promised you that I¡¯d jump ship, so you can¡¯t go back on your word. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Joes could not help butugh. Then, she turned to look at Wang Li with a puzzled look. Seeing her confusion, the corners of Wang Li¡¯s mouth curved up slightly. She smiled and said,¡±¡±As for my reason, it¡¯s half and half. You¡¯ll know in the future.¡± ¡°Good! Then I won¡¯t ask anymore. ¡± Joes nodded and picked up the ss full of fruit juice. Seeing this, Lin ya and Wang Li both picked up their sses. The three sses made a clear sound, indicating that the future was promising. The food on the table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and most of it went into Lin ya¡¯s stomach. The meal was also a joyous one for both the host and the guests. In the meantime, joesse thought of something. She put down her fork and asked,¡±¡±Oh right, how¡¯s Shiyupany doing recently?¡± She had just returned to the country and didn¡¯t pay much attention to Jinyu¡¯s Affairs. Since Lin ya and Huo jinyao were here, she mentioned it to them. Hearing that, Wang Li¡¯s expression changed slightly. She said helplessly,¡±¡±Shiyu, things aren¡¯t too good now.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Qiao SI¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. She was rather suspicious-could something have happened to Jin Yu? Then, Lin ya and Wang Li exined it to her, and she finally understood why they said that. It turned out that during the time that Jossi had left city h, many things had happened in the business world. For example, Xiang Jinyu¡¯spany, which was originally ruled by Xiang Jinyu, was now openly interfered with by outsiders. It could be considered her family matter. Regarding this matter, Wang Li and Wang Ling weren¡¯t very clear about it, so they didn¡¯t really understand what was going on. In short, what the two of them wanted to express was very simple. That was, Shiyupany, which was originally a paradise for jewelry designers, had be foul recently. Xiang Jinyu also wanted to get thepany back on track, but ever since the theft incident, he could not do anything about it. During this period of time, Xiang Jinyu had been overwrought with work, and thepany¡¯s performance had also declined a lot, not as good as before. In just one year, so many changes had happened. One could also imagine how terrifying the changes brought about by time were. Most things could not be imagined. After listening to the story, joesse could not help but sigh. After all, she had once worked at Shiyupany for a period of time. The atmosphere at that time was indeed very good. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a paradise for jewelry designers. But now, the direction had been changed, and he did not know if Xiang Jinyu could get thepany back on track. After the meal, everyone was ready to leave. Lin ya smiled cheekily and said,¡±¡±Sisi, give me a few days, and I¡¯ll be able to report to yourpany.¡± ¡°Me too,¡± Wang Li alsoughed, and her originally somewhat arrogant appearance had disappeared without a trace. She had matured a lot. After saying that, Joes¡¯s mood was even higher, and she said,¡±¡±I can¡¯t ask for more. When the two of youe, I¡¯ll definitely give you a satisfactory sry.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s settled!¡± After making the appointment, Lin ya and Wang Li left first to prepare for their resignation from Shiyupany. ¡­¡­¡­ Early in the morning. Joes pondered for a moment before her gaze fell on Millie, who was in front of her. ¡°What you mean is that President Chen wants us to hold an auction and use it to attract the poprity of high-end people?¡± She felt that this method was indeed feasible, but it would require a lot of resources. Miley nodded slightly,¡±yes, President Qiao. President Chen¡¯s assistant just called to inform me.¡± President Chen has already prepared the venue and jewelry for the auction. We only need to set the process. ¡± It was too easy ... Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with shock, but her expression was a littleplicated. At this moment, she sensed that something was not right. Even if Chen zuolin was optimistic about the future of Xing Yuan designpany, he didn¡¯t have to be so concerned, right? With an investment of ten million dors and a jewelry auction, Joes could not help but overthink. After a while, she raised her head and her expression returned to normal.¡±¡±Then you should go back. I will handle this matter well.¡± ¡°Yes, President Qiao.¡± After saying that, Miley left the president¡¯s office and was about to give Chen zuolin¡¯s assistant a call. The office door was closed, and Joes fell into deep thought. Chen zuolin had indeed helped her a lot since they met. He had even helped her arrange for her to study abroad. Joes knew that she owed a lot of things. If she wanted to return the favor now, she could only do her best to help star Yuan design get on the right track. As long as he managed thepany well and rose up step by step, he should not let Chen zuolin down. Perhaps there was still a possibility, but Joes was unwilling to think about it. After heaving a sigh of relief, she picked up her phone. Xiang Jinyu¡¯s phone number was disyed on the screen. Regarding Lin ya and Wang Li, he couldn¡¯t just take them away without a word. No matter what, Xiang Jinyu had helped him a lot in the past. Since joesse had chosen to take her away, she had to pay the price. She didn¡¯t want to be an ungrateful person, so she asked for Lin ya¡¯s opinion to confirm if they had any thoughts ofing to Xingyuan to design. Chapter 168

Chapter 168: How¡¯s that Lin Hai guy?

Otherwise, if Lin ya and Wang Li were doing well at Shiyupany and didn¡¯t want to leave, wouldn¡¯t that be a mistake? Joes tapped on the call button, and a ¡®beep ... Beep ...¡¯ Sound came from the phone. It was already waiting to be picked up. Not long after, the call was picked up. On the other end of the phone, Xiang Jinyu asked in confusion,¡±¡±May I ask who you are?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Jossi. ¡± After saying this, there was a brief silence. Neither of them continued to speak. After a while, Xiang Jinyu¡¯s voice was a little muffled. He smiled and asked,¡±¡±Long time no see, how have you been?¡± The two of them had not seen each other for over a year. Thest time they met was when Qiao si si resigned from Jin Yu. ¡°Pretty good, how about you?¡± Joesughed. Xiang Jinyu chuckled. Thinking of his recent situation, he felt helpless and didn¡¯t know what to say. After all, it was a family matter, and it would seem pretentious to talk about it everywhere. ¡°I¡¯m not bad either. You suddenly called me ... Is it about Lin ya and Wang Li?¡± Xiang Jinyu went straight to the point. She was very clear about the rtionship between the three of them. She had also heard that joesse had recently set up a newpany, Xuanji star Yuan design. ...... Even though it was still in its initial stages, Chen zuolin¡¯s Hengyuan investment was backing it. Just this point alone was not to be underestimated. Joes no longer hid anything and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I¡¯m not sure if they told me. ¡± ¡°The two of them have already told me.¡± Xiang Jinyu said. After she exined, Joes finally understood what had happened. As early as a month ago, Lin ya and Wang Li had talked to Xiang Jinyu about this matter. They might resign. At that time, she had also agreed. With the current state of Shiyupany, she did not want to keep a good jewelry designer here to waste time. If he had a better choice, Xiang Jinyu would not have stayed. However, when he thought of Joes in his free time, he still felt a little guilty. He should have figured out what had happened back then. She didn¡¯t directly believe the Secretary¡¯s words and make a conclusion. Otherwise, things wouldn¡¯t have turned out like this. She never thought that her Secretary, Qi Lin, would betray her and collude with outsiders. At this point, Xiang Jinyuughed bitterly,¡±¡±Alright, I don¡¯t have any objections to this matter anyway. Take the person with you and develop thepany well. Maybe one day, I¡¯ll be able to see your Xing Yuan at the forefront of the jewelry design industry. ¡± Thest sentence had a hint of a smile. Joes revealed a faint smile and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll count on President Xiang¡¯s auspicious words. Your Shiyu can¡¯t fall behind. If word gets out, I can still say that I¡¯m from Shiyupany. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The rtionship between the two of them had inadvertently be much closer, and the estrangement left behind by the previous events had slowly disappeared. It had been such a long time, and there were no disputes now. He should have let it go long ago. After chatting happily for a while, Qiao si and Xiang Jinyu hung up the phone. Both of them knew what was going on. However, what she didn¡¯t expect was that Lin ya and Wang Li had already mentioned their resignation. A warm current surged through her heart. The corners of Jossi¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and she ced her phone back into her pocket. The feeling of having someone care about him was pretty good. As there were many things to deal with at thepany¡¯s start-up stage, joesse only left Xing Yuan designpany in the evening. This time, she chose to walk on a crowded street to avoid the robbery incident fromst time. Millie and Joes were handling the matters regarding the auction, and the decorations at the venue were almostplete. The jewelry prepared by Hengyuan investment had been ced in the warehouse of the venue. Only a special key could open it. ¡°As for the invitation letter, I still need to prepare it.¡± Joes mumbled. Now, it was time to recruit employees and the list of people invited to the auction. It might seem like a small matter, but it would have a certain impact on thepany¡¯s future. After returning to the apartment, joesse began to draw up the list of people to be invited to the auction. She had written down all the guests who had attended the banquetst time. As for Jianghai city ... Joes¡¯s eyes glowed and she smiled. Finally, she also lifted her pen and wrote. How could such a rich Big Shot not invite him to the auction? That would be too much of a loss. After making the list, she sent it to Millie. She could make an invitation and send it out one by one. They were all carefully prepared, so it couldn¡¯t be considered a neglect. During the recruitment process, Joes even followed Millie to the talent market to recruit. She didn¡¯t go on stage to recruit. Miley had been handling it all along, while she observed from the side. After all, thepany¡¯s employees had to work for a long time. At the very least, he had to observe them and see what their character was like. At the beginning stage, Joes ced great importance on these things and firmly believed that her seriousness would be rewarded. Perhaps it was because the welfare system was quite good, many jewelry designers came for the job and brought their resumes. As for Millie, she would always send a message to Joes after asking her questions for her to make the decision. After a busy day, he only managed to find three employees, one man and two women, and asked them toe to thepany tomorrow to try it out. The two girls were intern designers, and the other one was the Head of Human Resources, the man. He looked good and there was nothing wrong with him. It was also because of this that Joes was willing to give him a chance. Her actions were gentle, but she was also smart and capable. If he felt that it was not suitable, he would talk to him again. ¡­¡­¡­ The sun was setting, and it was almost evening. Joes brought Millie out of the talent market and found a random restaurant to eat. After a busy day, the two of them felt hungry and exhausted. Millie ordered two bowls of beef noodles and poured herself a ss of water with a bright smile on her face. Although it was tiring, he could feel extremely fulfilled. ¡°President Qiao, what do you think of that Lin Hai? He seemed to be qualified for the position of the Director, but his ability was still unknown. I¡¯ll make some arrangements for him after hees to try it out tomorrow. President Chen has also sent a few managers to report here. They¡¯re all very capable, so President Qiao can rest assured about this. ¡± The position of a Manager required experienced people. Chen zuolin was the biggest shareholder of thepany, so it was normal for him to send a few managers. Thepany would only get really busy tomorrow, and most of the people who were supposed to be here had already arrived. Chapter 169

Chapter 169: We are here to report

Joes nodded slightly.¡±I¡¯m very confident in your work. Tomorrow, arrange for a meeting with those managers.¡± There are still many things they don¡¯t understand about thepany, so I¡¯ll take this opportunity to exin it to them. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie smiled cheekily. After that, there were no more doubts about work, and the two of them stopped talking about business. After all, Joes had once said that there was no need to mind what they said in private, and that they could just treat each other as normal friends. Millie took a sip of the delicious soup and felt alive again. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, may I ask you a question?¡± Joes raised her head in confusion and asked,¡±¡±What question? You can just ask me directly. ¡± ¡°Are you and President Chen ... Together?¡± Millie¡¯s expression was mysterious, and even her voice was softer. Joes was drinking her soup and almost choked when she heard this. ¡°Ahem.¡± She coughed so hard that her face turned red. She quickly pulled out a tissue from the side and wiped the corner of her mouth. It was really strange. Why did he think that she was with Chen zuolin? The two of them had a very ordinary cooperative rtionship, and they rarely met each other except when necessary. Joes ¡®expression wasplicated as she looked at Millie and said with difficulty,¡±¡±Why do you think so?¡± ...... Millie blinked her eyes and lowered her head slightly when she saw that the situation was not right. After a long time, she said, somewhat embarrassed,¡±¡±Then I must have misunderstood. I always thought that you were with President Chen. I¡¯ve been working at Hengyuan for more than two years and I¡¯ve never seen President Chen treat anyone so well. He doesn¡¯t even have a woman by his side. ¡± At this point, Miley¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. She could be said to be the cleanest President in terms of private life. After a pause, Miley continued,¡±I think President Chen is really good to you. I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s eat.¡± Joes said hurriedly and pushed a te of pumpkin patties over to Millie to prevent her from saying anything else. Fortunately, the pumpkin pie had shut her up. After that, Millie did not mention the matter anymore, allowing Joris to heave a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s probably fake. ¡± Joesse thought to herself and furrowed her brows slightly. She still could not believe it. Chen zuolin liked her? It was impossible to think about it. One was the president of a bigpany, while she was just the president of a newpany. It was even sponsored by Chen zuolin. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get started. With a sigh, Joes suppressed her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. She would just take it one step at a time. ¡­¡­¡­ On the second day. Joes changed into a capable-looking female suit. When she arrived at star dors, all the Department managers were already there. Just as Millie had said, both his personality and ability were not bad. In the end, everyone sat in the meeting room and looked at each other. Joes sat in the front seat. ¡°Everyone, please introduce yourself.¡± Joes smiled. After she finished speaking, she looked at the managers in front of her with a smile in her eyes. After that, everyone began to introduce themselves. ¡°President Qiao, my name is Xu Li, the Human Resources Manager.¡± ¡°Qin Xiaomo, the manager of the design department.¡± ¡°Blue heart, Marketing Manager.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Everyone introduced themselves one by one. Joes nodded after listening, having a general understanding of the situation. ¡°We¡¯re from Xing Yuan designpany. Since President Chen sent you here to work, you can¡¯t ck off. Xing Yuan is a newpany, so it¡¯ll be busier at the start than usual. But as long as we get past this stage, many things will get better, understand?¡± Joes spoke each word in an extremely serious manner, and an invisible aura was emitted from her body, adding color to her. ¡°Understood!¡± After hearing her words, everyone couldn¡¯t help but have some expectations for thepany¡¯s future. Chen zuolin was the major shareholder of star essence Corporation. With just a few casual investments, star essence could grow extremely quickly. Therefore, it might not be a bad thing to work in a newpany. In the next few hours, Joes exined to the managers the general idea of thepany¡¯s future ns. The managers would also raise their opinions at the appropriate time and make some changes. Two hourster, the meeting came to an end. Joes was very satisfied with the managers sent by Chen zuolin, and the managers also had some understanding of this President. She looked like a weak woman, but in reality, she knew everything. She hadn¡¯t spent the past year overseas for nothing. She would write down everything she didn¡¯t understand and ask Chen zuolin¡¯s friend. There were benefits to being serious. She had now grown into a mature President. They only needed an opportunity to make a huge leap and make Xingyuan design the leading jewelry designerpany. ¡°That¡¯s it for the meeting then. Millie willpile thepany¡¯s system and rules into a document and send it to youter.¡± Joes stood up and said. She nced at the scenery outside, and for some reason, she felt a little distracted. ¡°Yes, President Qiao.¡± The loud voice pulled Joes back from her thoughts. She also remembered something and called out to Xu Hai. ¡°Xu Hai, I¡¯ll leave the recruitment to you guys in the Human Resources Department. Someone should report to you soon.¡± Hearing that, Xu Hai was slightly stunned. He immediately reacted and nodded,¡±¡±Okay, President Qiao, I understand.¡± With that, the group left the conference room, and the empty room became empty again. Joes rubbed her brows. There were still many things to do. After the auction, they still had to deal with the matter of finding an investor. They couldn¡¯t let Chen zuolin bear the responsibility alone. Thepany would only develop better if she was well-connected. Joes already had a few candidates in mind, but she did not know what these people were thinking. He would only know when he asked. After sitting in the conference room for a while, Joes stood up and left. When she went downstairs, she bumped into a group of people. ¡°Sisi!¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes lit up. After saying that, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly changed her words,¡±¡±Hello, President Qiao.¡± ¡°President Qiao, we¡¯re here to report,¡± Wang Li said with a smile. Upon seeing the two of them, joesse raised her brows and stepped forward,¡±¡±I¡¯ve been waiting for you guys. How do you feel about this ce?¡± After she finished speaking, she looked around thepany. The meaning was also very obvious. After seeing thepany, what did he think of thepany¡¯s atmosphere? Chapter 170

Chapter 170: A nk invitation

¡°Great!¡± Lin ya gave him a thumbs up.¡±Very good, I¡¯m very satisfied.¡± Perhapspared to Shiyupany, the venue designed by Xingyuan was not very big yet, but it would slowly expand sooner orter. Once there were profits, joesse would discuss with Chen zuolin to buy the entire building and use it as thepany¡¯s venue. Not to mention, the situation on Jinyu¡¯s side wasn¡¯t very good recently, and Xiang Jinyu had also suffered a blow. Hearing Lin ya¡¯s praise, joesse¡¯s smile deepened,¡±¡±Then stay here for two days. Thepany has just started, so it might be busier. However, I will definitely not mistreat you. You can rest assured about that. ¡± ¡°What are you saying, President Qiao? Wang Li and I have never been worried about this.¡± Lin ya blinked. Wang Li was also in a good mood and was quite curious about Xing Yuan¡¯s design. After they stood in front of the elevator and chatted for a while, Lin ya and Wang Li said goodbye and went to familiarize themselves with their work. He had just arrived at a new ce, so there were still many things he needed to familiarize himself with. After a period of time, thepany waspletely on the right track. Whether it was personnel or talents, they were all gradually increasing. On the Human Resources Department¡¯s side, joesse had also specifically instructed them on this. Xing Yuan design didn¡¯t need capable employees, but the most important thing was that they had to be hardworking. ...... In addition, it was best to pay more attention to their character and conduct to prevent any improper people from entering thepany. In order to reward the hardworking employees, Joes had specially bought some gifts for them. This would also be able to raise everyone¡¯s enthusiasm. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± On this day, Joes was thinking about the issue of the investors when her phone suddenly rang. She turned on the screen and saw that it was a call from Chen zuolin. Usually, he wouldn¡¯t call if there wasn¡¯t anything important, unless there was something that needed to be dealt with. At the thought of this, Joes did not dy any further and quickly picked up the call.¡±President Chen, did something happen?¡± Chen zuolin was silent for a while. To be honest, he didn¡¯t really want to hear the title of ¡°President Chen,¡± but the two of them had not made any substantial progress so far. Forget it. Chen zuolin slightly sighed and said,¡±President Qiao, since you¡¯re the president of Xing Yuan now, aren¡¯t you prepared to get a car?¡± It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t know that even thest time he came to the banquet, Joes had taken a taxi. He had injected ten million into thepany¡¯s funds with the intention of getting Joes a car, but he did not expect her to have no such intention at all. Moreover, all the funds were used for thepany¡¯s operation, and he was very conscientious. As a result, even if he had selfish motives, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t know how to start. He had to think carefully before making this call. ¡°Not yet. It turns out that President Chen is calling me about this.¡± Joes could not help butugh. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the person on the other end of the phone said.¡±Since thepany is on the right track, President Qiao can get a car. Hengyuan doesn¡¯tck money.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes was slightly taken aback. She wasn¡¯t a fool, and she naturally knew that Chen zuolin had good intentions. He was worried that she wouldn¡¯t be willing to spend the money. However, now that thepany was getting better, as the president, he had to put on some airs when he went out. It was imperative to get a car, but it had been brought forward. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Chen,¡± Jossi said.¡±I¡¯ll go to the car dealership this afternoon. I¡¯ll buy anything I like.¡± Chen zuolin finally let out a sigh of relief. He felt that he had lived for 20 to 30 years, but he had never been as nervous as he was today. He didn¡¯t know what to say. Chen zuolin looked at his phone with aplicated expression and was silent for a long time. ¡°President Chen?¡± Joes asked, puzzled. Hearing this, Chen zuolin came back to his senses, and a faint smile appeared on his face.¡±¡±It¡¯s good that you have such thoughts. ¡± ¡°President Chen, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Although the two of them had been friends for a year, there was still some distance between them when they spoke. After chatting for a while, Joes suddenly recalled something and said,¡±¡±Oh right, chief Chen, I forgot to tell you something.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes shed with anticipation.¡±What is it?¡± But the next second, his hope was shattered. ¡°It¡¯s about the invitation to the auction in a week¡¯s time. I¡¯ve prepared a list of people to invite. However, on ount of President Chen, I made a dozen more nk invitation cards. I¡¯ll have someone send them over tomorrow. ¡± At this point, joesse paused for a moment before continuing,¡±¡±If there¡¯s anyone you want to invite, you can just use this part of the invitation letter.¡± After all, Chen zuolin was the investor of star essence design, so he naturally couldn¡¯t be neglected. Moreover, Joes felt that Chen zuolin and she were considered ordinary friends. She would not be stingy if it was convenient for her. A momentter, a strange voice came from the phone. ¡°...Alright.¡± Joesse was a little confused, but she did not ask further. She hung up the phone after greeting Chen zuolin. It should be fine. She was just overthinking. There were still many documents piled on the table, and Joes simply could not think about anything else. She picked up her pen and began to work on them. She had been overwrought with work during this period of time, and there were many things that she had to do personally. He would recover after a period of time. Time could heal everything. Joes heaved a sigh of relief and the corners of her lips curled up. Sheposed herself and began to work on the documents. At the same time, at the Zheng¡¯spany in city H. In the president¡¯s office, Zheng ze¡¯s back was facing assistant li through a pair of French windows. His expression was dark. ¡°President Zheng, President Qiao from Xing Yuan didn¡¯t invite you.¡± After some deliberation, assistant li still said this. After saying this, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at his CEO. There was no other reason. As long as it was something rted to Qiao si si, the president seemed to have changed into a different person. After hearing his words, the atmosphere in the CEO¡¯s office suddenly dropped as if it was winter. ¡°Crack.¡± A soft sound was heard, and it was extremely clear in the quiet office. Assistant Li¡¯s right eye twitched uneasily. He looked up quietly and saw the president holding a pen in his hand. If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably the sound of a fountain pen breaking. Not long after, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s low voice was heard,¡±¡±Other than the invitation list from Xing Yuan, is there any other way to participate in the auction?¡± ¡°President, President Chen from Hengyuan investment still has an empty invitation.¡± Assistant Li said. Many people knew about this, and he didn¡¯t know if he had used up all the invitations. At the thought of this, assistant li raised his eyebrows. Wait, could the president be thinking of ... Chapter 171

Chapter 171: A shameless woman

¡°Think of a way to get me an invitation. I want to attend the auction in a week.¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently. Sure enough, it was as assistant li had expected! Although it was a little difficult, he had to try no matter what since it was his president¡¯s request. Gritting his teeth, assistant li nodded and said,¡±¡±Yes, President, I understand!¡± ¡°Yes, you may leave.¡± After saying this, assistant li left the office and began to deal with his important matters. Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, turned around and sat back in the boss¡¯s chair. He threw the fountain pen that had almost broken into two on the table. ¡°Jossi ...¡± Zheng Zeyi mumbled the name softly, and in the next moment, a handsome smile appeared on his face. Very good. He had just saved herst time. He didn¡¯t expect that she would forget about him so soon. She was indeed an ungrateful little thing! Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile as he tapped his fingers on the table. No matter what, he was definitely going to participate in the auction. He didn¡¯t know what the little thing¡¯s expression would be like if she saw him at the auction. ...... What Zheng Zeyi did not know was that he had indeed misunderstood joesse on this point. It was not her intention to not invite him. Joes remembered the kindness of saving her, but she had simply forgotten about it. City h, which had been peaceful for a while, was once again in turmoil because of a newly established Xing Yuanpany. ¡­¡­¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Joes stretchedzily and ced all the documents that she had yet to process into the drawer. He would find time to deal with it tomorrow. For now, he would go to the garage to take a look. At the thought of this, Jossi pressed the phone beside her and said,¡±¡±Miley,e to my office.¡± ¡°Yes, President,¡± Miley said quickly.¡±I¡¯lle over now.¡± Not long after, she knocked on the door of the president¡¯s office and Joes let her in. ¡°President, is there anything you need to do?¡± Millie said with a bit of doubt. Joes nodded.¡±Tell the publicity department to speed up their work. The auction is in a week.¡± The best high-end market for publicity is known to everyone, so the public rtions side should be more cautious, in case they don¡¯t even know if they¡¯re set up. ¡± She was still very cautious. Since she had chosen to set up apany in China, the initial stage was the most important. If they were not careful and someone got hold of their weakness, thepany would probably stop here. Millie¡¯s eyes lit up and she agreed.¡±¡±Yes, the president is wise. I¡¯ll go and discuss this with the manager of the publicity department and the manager of the public rtions department.¡± ¡°Go ahead. By the way, I¡¯m going out for a while. If there¡¯s anything, just call me.¡± With that, joesse stood up and waved the phone in her hand. ¡°Yes, President.¡± After that, joesse left the office and walked towards the main entrance of star dors. It was still in the afternoon, and the streets outside were full of cars and people. After finding an empty taxi, Joes said,¡±¡±Sir, let¡¯s go to the nearest 5s store.¡± After the driver heard her, he stepped on the gas and the car sped away, heading to the ce she had mentioned. This was thergest 5s store in city H. There were many expensive luxury cars inside, and there were not many ordinary brands. Therefore, some rich kids often liked to go there for a stroll. Five minutester, the taxi arrived at the garage. After Joes paid the fare, she alighted. The first thing he saw was a huge 5s store with gorgeous decorations, which met the standards of high-end people. No wonder there were so many people every day. Joes was wearing a gray knee-length jacket with a long white dress and an exquisite pair of boots. She looked extraordinary. She took a look at the time and walked into The 5s Store without hesitation. There were many customers in the shop. As soon as they entered, they could hear soothing background music and the endless conversations of the customers. Perhaps it was because of her fashion sense, a 5s shop staff came to receive her not long after she entered. ¡°Hello, Sir. Are you here to see a car?¡± The staff member smiled politely. Joes nodded slightly. She was indeed here to look at cars and even wanted to buy one in the afternoon. In this way, he didn¡¯t have to waste so much time choosing. ¡°Alright, then please follow me over here, miss. Perhaps there will be a style that you¡¯re satisfied with.¡± The staff member said. Then, he led her to a ce where more than a dozen new cars were parked. They looked extremely attractive from the outside. Joes took a look and felt satisfied. She said,¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll stay here for a while. I¡¯ll call you if I need anything.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The staff member nodded and turned to leave. After all, there were so many customers in The 5s Store. It was still unknown who would buy and who would not. The staff was taking a Commission, and it was impossible for them to only care about one customer. After he left, joesse felt a little more peaceful as she walked around the dozen cars. There was even a red Ferrari, which made people reluctant to look away. This staff member really thought highly of her. The current Joes could not afford a luxury car, nor did she have any ns to buy one. He just wanted to buy a slightly better brand on the market for practical use. He didn¡¯t need the expensive ones at all. Thepany¡¯s funds seemed to be abundant, but in fact, if something happened, it would not be enough. Hence, Joes naturally could not spend too much money on buying a car. While he was admiring the view, an extremely familiar voice rang out from the side, and it even carried a little unbearable disgust. ¡°Jossi, B ... Why are you here!¡± Upon hearing this voice, Joes furrowed her brows and turned around. Not far away, she saw a few men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes. As well as the person she would never forget in her life, teasing Yang Yue Yue. The people around her didn¡¯t look much different in age. They were probably here to shop around or to pick out cars. A woman next to Yang Yue Yue yed with her delicate nails and asked curiously,¡±¡±Yue Yue, who is this?¡± Yang Yue Yue retracted her hateful gaze and gritted her teeth,¡±¡±A shameless woman.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sigh from the other side. No one knew what he was thinking. However, Joes did not mind. Sheughed coldly and turned her gaze back to the car. Instead of staying in the town of these insignificant people, it was better to take advantage of this time to look at a few more cars and consider what brand to buy. Joesse¡¯s indifference deeply hurt Yang Yue Yue, and she could not help but recall what happened a year ago. Chapter 172

Chapter 172: This is ... Invalid

A year ago, if it wasn¡¯t for that B * tch Joes, why would she have been brought to the guard post for questioning? Her family had spent a lot of effort to get her out. Thinking of this, yang Yueyue wanted to grind her teeth. Even now, some people in the circle still looked at her strangely. Without exception, it was all because of the incident a year ago. Every time she thought about it, Yang Yue Yue would want nothing more than to kill Qiao si si. However, she had never thought that even though she was the one who had colluded with Lin Xiu ¡®er and Xiang Jinyu¡¯s Secretary to nder her, she still wouldn¡¯t let others prove her innocence. It turned out that some people¡¯s brain circuits were very strange. ¡°Jossi, I¡¯m talking to you. Did you not hear me?¡± Yang Yue Yue saw that Qiao si si did not reply, so she asked again unwillingly. In front of so many people, hepletely ignored her. Wasn¡¯t this just embarrassing her? Hearing that, Qiao si si furrowed her brows and looked up at Yang Yue Yue, whose face was a little twisted. Her eyes were deep. ¡°I don¡¯t know you well, why should I talk to you? Please stop talking to yourself. ¡± After saying that, she lowered her eyes and continued to observe the car. It was a ck BMW with a high chassis and arge interior. Compared to the other cars, Jossi was more satisfied with this one. After looking at it, she nodded slightly. ...... ¡°Good ... Very good!¡± Yang Yue Yueughed coldly and immediately walked towards her position with quick steps. In just a moment, the distance between the two of them had shortened quite a bit. Yang Yue Yue¡¯spanions behind her looked at the two of them with interest. They were determined to watch a show. No one came up to help Yang Yue Yue either. They did not have any friendship to begin with, and they were just maintaining a superficial peace. ¡°Joesse, do you think that the incident from a year ago is over? Let me tell you, it¡¯s impossible. I will never forget it. ¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s gaze was fierce, but her voice was involuntarily softer, so that only the two of them could hear it. It looked like he was a little scared. Joes raised her eyebrows and her lips curled into a mocking smile.¡±¡±What¡¯s the use of you not forgetting? And you¡¯re still distorting the truth here? A year ago, it was you, Lin Xiu ¡®er, and Qi Lin who joined forces to frame me. Now you¡¯re lying to yourself, and you even believe it?¡± At the end of her sentence, she couldn¡¯t help but sneer. He was really shameless to the extreme. Jossi did not lower her volume when she said this. In the huge 5s store, many people¡¯s eyes were attracted to the two of them. Joss...Not many people knew her. However, Yang Yue Yue was different. In city h, let alone in this 5s store, most people knew her. The theft case from a year ago was dug up again, and many people looked at her with a different expression. Sensing everyone¡¯s gazes on her, yang Yueyue suppressed the anger in her heart. She almost lost control of herself and rushed up to scratch Qiao sisi¡¯s face. But she knew she couldn ¡®t. The theft case had taught her a lesson. She knew that she couldn¡¯t leave behind any evidence. Otherwise ... It would be even more difficult for him to make aeback. Thinking of this, Yang Yue Yue said with hatred,¡±¡±You and I both know what happened. It¡¯s useless to y to the gallery now!¡± She tried to ignite the crowd. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s trying to please the crowd, aren¡¯t you? I was just looking after the car, and you suddenly came up and pointed at me. Do you think I¡¯m easy to bully?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes glowed with a cold light. ¡°You!¡± Yang Yue Yue was flustered and exasperated. She pointed at Qiao si si, but did not know what to say. After all, what Joes said was the truth. The people around them kept whispering about them. However, he didn¡¯t dare to go too far, in case Yang Yue Yue caught him. It wouldn¡¯t be good if that happened. After all, she was the cousin of the president of the Zheng Corporation. Even if Zheng Zeyi did not think much of Yang Yue Yue, with her status, no one would dare to touch her. The rich kids who were hanging out with Yang Yue Yue also came with the same idea. Joes was extremely calm as she crossed her arms and said,¡±¡±Are you done? If you¡¯re done, can you leave now?¡± There was indifference in her eyes, clearly not taking Yang Yue Yue seriously at all. Whether it was in the past or now, it was always like this. Just as Yang Yue Yue was about to lose control of her temper, a woman walked up from behind. ¡°Yue Yue, that¡¯s enough ... Don¡¯t be angry. Peace breeds wealth.¡± The woman was trying to be a peacemaker. However, she was destined to make the wrong move. Yang Yue Yue nced at her but did not appreciate it. Instead, she gritted her teeth and red at Qiao si si. After a long time, she finally spat out a few words from between her teeth,¡±¡±Joesse, do you think that you still have an identity that you can rely on? In the past, you could still be considered my cousin¡¯s fianc¨¦e, but you disappeared from city h for an entire year. Who wouldn¡¯t think that you¡¯ve given up on the engagement?¡± She sneered.¡±Even if cousin didn¡¯t say it, this engagement has long been annulled. You¡¯re just amoner now!¡± At this point, Yang Yue Yue finally felt a little more ted and slowly let out a breath. The only thing that she was better at than Joes was probably her status. Joes looked at her strangely, but she calmed down after a while. After all, the publicity department of Xing Yuanpany had not really made any moves yet, so it was expected that thepany was not well-known. And if Yang Yue Yue knew about it, he didn¡¯t know what she would do. Joes simply admitted it,¡±¡±So what if the engagement is annulled? you can also use this matter to be arrogant in front of me.¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes brightened. She did not even take what joesse said after that to heart. It¡¯s ... Invalid? Nothing made Yang Yue Yue happier than Joes¡¯s personal admission. She felt as if the anger that had been suppressed in her heart had dissipated. Without Zheng Zeyi, what was Qiao sisi? She could kill them with a wave of her hand! The woman at the side was a little embarrassed. Seeing Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression ease up a little, she said,¡±¡±Yue Yue, are you feeling better now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yang Yue Yue said disdainfully. If it was someone else, she wouldn¡¯t have been so rude, but this woman in front of her was just from a small family. Yang Yue Yue was disdainful to begin with, so it was impossible for her to care about her emotions. The woman touched her nose in embarrassment. She knew what was going on, so she didn¡¯t say anything else. Yang Yue Yue¡¯spanions behind her deliberately leaned closer at this time, perhaps to make it easier for them to ridicule her. In any case, Jossi felt that they were up to no good. Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Deliberately acting for us to see

¡°It¡¯s good that you admit it. An engagement that was won by seduction is not valid, hehe.¡± Yang Yue Yue looked at Qiao si si arrogantly and returned to her usual arrogant self. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back into the crowd in her ten-centimeter high heels, as if she had returned victorious. Upon seeing this, Joes frowned slightly and could not help but say,¡±¡±You¡¯re sick,¡± He had never seen such a shameless and vicious person before. If not for his family background, he would have died many times over. On the other side. As soon as Yang Yue Yue returned, her scoundrels started asking questions out of curiosity. ¡°Yue Yue, who is that woman over there? It seems that the two of you have quite The Grudge. ¡± The one who spoke was a woman in her 20s. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and a gloating look. It wasn¡¯t just her, the others were the same. Yang Yue Yue was already panicking from holding it in, and after hearing this, she had a feeling that she had to vent it out. ¡°Her name is Jossi. She was once engaged to my cousin. She was a B * tch who used to seduce others to get to where she is. She even imed to be his fianc¨¦e, but now she¡¯s in this state.¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. How could Zheng Zeyi possibly be interested in a woman with such a bad character and nothing? ...... She didn¡¯t even think about how much better she could be. After hearing this, the rich kids looked at each other and showed an interested expression. They paid the most attention to the gossip of the grudges between the wealthy families. ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like a good person. He¡¯s dressed like that. He¡¯s clearly amoner, but he¡¯s still looking around.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I don¡¯t even know what it¡¯s hiding. ¡± ¡°Yue Yue, this kind of woman is used to putting on an act. Your cousin must have been deceived by her appearance.¡± Very quickly, a few women started to echo Yang Yue Yue¡¯s words. Their words were vicious, and all of them were attacking Qiao si si. After Yang Yue Yue heard this, she was even more satisfied. This was the result she wanted. Jossi was abandoned by her friends and family, and no one believed her. However ... The truth of the theft case a year ago had been revealed. If not for that, joesse would have been sent to the prison. ¡°Hmph, her tricks can only fool my cousin.¡± Yang Yue Yue snorted. The other men kept sizing up Joes with their eyes, their gazes extremely explicit. Even from such a far distance, joesse could sense that something was amiss. She could not help but raise her brows as a wave of anger surged in her heart. Did he really think that she was easy to bully? Joesse nced at the people beside Yang Yue Yue andmitted their faces to memory. He couldn¡¯t take revenge today, but that didn¡¯t mean he couldn¡¯t do it in the future. After that, Joes could not be bothered with them anymore. She was wearing such a thick coat. Since she wanted to see, she could not blind them. Then, she waved to the staff. Joes quite liked this BMW, and it looked like it was worth more than the other cars. Whether it was the exterior design or some of the internal functions, they were all rather satisfactory. In short, he would ask first. If there were no problems, then he could directly decide. Joes did not want to waste too much time in the 5s shop either. Getting a car ... Getting a car that she thought would do. ¡°Hello, Sir. How may I help you?¡± The staff member from The 5s Store walked over. Upon hearing this, Joris pointed at the ck BMW and asked,¡±¡±How much is this car?¡± The staff member was stunned. Her eyes flickered with shock, and she only came back to her senses after a while. Clearing his throat, the staff member smiled and said,¡±¡±You have good taste, Sir. This is thetest BMW that just arrived in the store. It¡¯s stable in performance and has a low-key yet luxurious appearance. It¡¯s especially suitable for someone like you. As for the price ...¡± The staff member paused and extended two fingers.¡±¡±One million and five hundred thousand.¡± 1.5 million? Upon hearing this figure, joesse¡¯s expression remained calm. This was the figure that she had originally estimated. After all, he was thepany¡¯s president. Since he had decided to get a car, he couldn¡¯t buy a bad one. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome if he had to change it when the time came. After pondering for a while, Joes nodded and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll buy it. Go and get the manager to sign the contract. I¡¯ll drive it away today.¡± ¡°Today?¡± The staff member was surprised for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. She didn¡¯t expect toplete the order so easily. When Joes first entered, she thought that she was just here to check out the car and that she was hiding her true intentions. ¡°Please wait for a moment, I¡¯ll go and find the manager now!¡± The staff member¡¯s smile became even brighter. After he finished speaking, he quickly ran to find the manager of The 5s Store to avoid dying the time and the order being closed. The Commission she could get from a deal of 1.5 million Yuan was also very considerable. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes watched as the staff left, then turned her gaze back to the ck BMW. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she was. As expected, she had good taste. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s side was extremely shocked. ¡°Yue Yue, isn¡¯t this woman amoner? How can he afford a BMW that costs more than a million?¡± The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with suspicion. If they were reallymoners, why would they buy a BMW? However, they had heard that Zheng Zeyi had a fianc¨¦e, but she had never appeared since. Logically speaking, without Zheng Zeyi¡¯s help, the current Qiao sisi should be in an extremely dire state. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, and her eyes were filled with resentment. It was not just these people, even she could not understand why joesse had the money to buy a car. Yang Yue Yue squeezed out a smile with difficulty and said,¡±¡±Maybe he saw us here and deliberately put on an act for us to see. She¡¯s just a lowlymoner, how could she have the money to buy a car?¡± Yang Yue Yue made a solemn vow, and the others also listened to her. They all had an attitude of watching a good show. They wanted to see how this lie was going to be covered up when Joes called The 5s Store manager. Yang Yue Yue did not believe that joesse could buy a car at all, so she believed her own words. As expected of a B * tch, she even wanted to embarrass him in this kind of situation! Joes did not expect Yang Yue Yue to have so many thoughts. Even if she knew, she would only smile helplessly. Those who don¡¯t like you can even find fault in your breathing. Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Why don¡¯t I dare to hit you?

Joes waited for a while and even opened the door to the BMW to sit in it. It felt great. However, her actions made Yang Yue Yue¡¯s people despise her even more. Not long after, the manager of The 5s Store was invited over by the staff member. He was a shrewd man in a suit and a pair of refined sses. ¡°Manager, this is thedy who wants to buy a BMW.¡± The staff was extremely respectful. The manager nodded and smiled,¡±¡±Hello, miss. I¡¯m the manager of The 5s Store. You can call me Xiao Li.¡± Upon hearing their voices, Joes raised her eyes slightly and the two of them entered her sight. ¡°Miss, are you looking to buy this ck BMW?¡± The managerughed. His smile was warm and his attitude made it impossible for people to hate him. After all, he had been a manager in a 5s store for so long and hade into contact with most of the high-end people. He naturally had his own way of dealing with people. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Joes nodded.¡±I have that idea.¡± The manager¡¯s eyes lit up and he began to exin the features and benefits of the ck BMW to her. After about five minutes, the manager finally finished. Joes did not lose her patience and patiently listened to all the exnations. In the end, she said,¡±¡±In that case, I¡¯ll buy it. Can I drive it away today? If it¡¯s 1.5 million ... I can pay the full amount directly. ¡± ...... Since he had the money, there was no need to buy a house in installments. She would just treat it as a loan from Chen zuolin. When thepany made profits in the future and she had savings, she would buy gifts to return the money. Chen zuolin would definitely not be happy to pay back the money directly. After all, they had known each other for a year, so it was impossible for him to not understand such a shallow surface. ¡°The full amount? Of course you can. Then pleasee with me to sign the contract or something. ¡± The manager made a ¡°please¡± gesture and Joes raised her brows slightly before following him to the front desk. On the other side. On Yang Yue Yue¡¯s side, a woman saw this scene and couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Yue Yue, didn¡¯t you say that the woman was amoner? Why does it look like you¡¯re going to pay?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The BMW she picked is worth almost a million Yuan.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re really just putting on a show in front of us, you don¡¯t have to go with the manager, do you?¡± another woman chimed in. At this moment, everyone had doubts in their hearts. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s mouth twitched as she secretly nced at joesse¡¯s departing figure. It seemed like this B * tch had found a sugar daddy again. Bah! He was really shameless! After thinking for a moment, she came to a conclusion. ¡°So what if you buy a car? This slut was able to seduce my cousin to the point of falling head over heels in love in the past, but now she can also use other means. ¡± Yang Yue Yue crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain. They were all petty tricks that couldn¡¯t be shown in public. Hearing this, the others came to a sudden realization and felt that his words were extremely reasonable. If not, how could Joes, amoner, be able to afford such an expensive BMW? ¡°Yue Yue, you¡¯re so shameless. We have to go over and teach you a lesson.¡± One of them said. These people were just waiting to watch the show, and at the same time, they looked down on Joes and wanted to use this opportunity to rope in Yang Yue Yue. It was always good to have a close rtionship with young master Zheng¡¯s cousin. Upon hearing this, some of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s thoughts instantly came alive. That¡¯s right, how could he let Jossi off so easily? They hadn¡¯t seen each other for a year, and he had to peel off ayer of her skin! Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face revealed a smug smile and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go!¡± The group of people walked towards the BMW. ¡­¡­¡­ The procedures were not veryplicated and werepleted in about ten minutes. Joes had also obtained the car key to the BMW. Hanging it in her hand, she turned around and returned to the ce where she had been looking at the car. Now that everything was settled, she could just drive away. At that moment, joesse realized that Yang Yue Yue and the others had changed their positions. They were now beside her car. Seeing this, she frowned slightly, clenched the car keys in her hand, and quickly walked over. ¡°Excuse me, please.¡± Upon hearing this voice, many people raised their heads and saw Joes walking with a swagger. Her eyes were cold. Yang Yue Yue crossed her arms and smiled smugly,¡¯joesse, did you go to buy a car? It¡¯s been a year since west met, but you¡¯ve be richer. You can even afford a BMW. Don¡¯t tell me that after leaving my cousin, you¡¯ve been hanging out with someone else?¡± There wasughter all around, as well as the sound of pointing. Most people said that Jossi was indecent, and instantly, no one doubted how a young girl like her could afford a BMW. Many of the onlookers ¡®jealousy had also been soothed, and they even gave more advice. She didn¡¯t care about what these people said at all. Jossi nced at her and said indifferently,¡±¡±May I ask, what does it have to do with you, miss yang, whether I buy a car or not?¡± ¡°Rtionship? Ha ...¡± Yang Yue Yue snorted coldly and took a step forward in her high heels, looking at Qiao si si. A momentter, she sneered,¡±¡±It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t stand seeing a B * tch like you, who can be ridden by ten thousand people. ¡± The next second,¡±pa!¡± A sound was heard. Half of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face was nted and instantly swelled up, leaving a red palm mark. She covered her face in disbelief. The pain made her gasp and she shrieked,¡±¡±Joesse, you dare to hit me?!¡± Not only Yang Yue Yue, but the people around her were also shocked by her actions. He pped her just because he didn¡¯t agree with her. As expected, he was swift and decisive! Facing Yang Yue Yue¡¯s shocked expression, joesse remained calm and dusted off her hands. With that look of disdain, those who didn¡¯t know would think that she had just run into some kind of bug, which made Yang Yue Yue hate her even more. ¡°Why would I not dare to hit you? You blocked my car and ndered me. What else do you want to do? do it all. I¡¯ll see how far you can go. ¡± Joes rubbed her wrist as if she was itching to give her another p. Seeing this, Yang Yue Yue covered her face and took a step back, unable to suppress her aura. Before she could speak, a woman beside her couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Yue Yue, are you alright? this kind of B * tch only acts so arrogantly because she has a talent behind her.¡± Many people agreed with him. A glint shed in Qiao SI¡¯s eyes. It seemed like Yang Yue Yue was making up something behind her back. However, she wasn¡¯t surprised at all. The two of them were like fire and water. If Yang Yue Yue did not do anything, joesse would be worried that she woulde up with some big move. Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Count yourself lucky

After the woman finished speaking, she stood beside Yang Yue Yue with a provocative expression. His clothes were also expensive. If he was not mistaken, he should be the son of a rich family in city h, who just wanted to get on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s good side. But ... Wouldn¡¯t it be a little stupid to look for Yang Yue Yue? Qiao si siughed coldly. After fighting for so long, she knew that Yang Yue Yue had feelings for her so-called cousin. It was just that because of her, he had never said it out loud. With this thought in mind, Joes found the woman in front of her even moreical. She crossed her arms and leaned against her car. She smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m talking to her. Who Do You Think You Are?¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The crowd eximed. There was no other reason other than the fact that Qiao si si was simply too arrogant. She was not afraid of Yang Yue Yue and her gang at all. The woman gritted her teeth.¡±I¡¯m a member of the tan family. How dare you speak to me like this?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Joesughed. He was in a good mood today, but it was all ruined now. Yang Yue Yue was indeed a jinx. Narrowing her eyes, Joes yed with her fingers. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you again, can you move aside and block my car ... Is it fun?¡± ...... She saw Yang Yue Yue and a few other women blocking the car with their bodies, as if they were not going to let her go. As long as Joes started the car, she would hit them. ¡°You want to leave? I won¡¯t let you go!¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were red and her face was swollen like a steamed bun. After suffering such a huge loss, how could she let Joes leave so easily? Joes was getting impatient as well and said,¡±¡±Yang Yue Yue, do you think you¡¯re smart for doing this? Or do you think that it¡¯s impossible to bring up the incident from a year ago after it¡¯s been suppressed? if it really doesn¡¯t work, why don¡¯t you try?¡± His tone suddenly became a little more serious and even carried a hint of sternness. Yang Yue Yue covered her face, looking a little embarrassed. She gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Jossi, are you threatening me?¡± ¡°So what if I¡¯m threatening you?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. He really thought of himself as a dish. Perhaps a year ago, she would have been worried that Yang Yue Yue would use some dark means to take revenge. But now, she would not. She was not afraid of Yang Yue Yue at all. ¡°Joesse, let me tell you. If you could be calm in the past, you can still be calm now!¡± Yang Yue Yue was not afraid at all. He even took a few more steps forward and was about to ce his hand on the car when Joes smacked it away. It was a little embarrassing to do this in public. Seeing that Yang Yue was like a sticky candy that couldn¡¯t be shaken off once she touched it, Qiao si frowned and shouted,¡±¡±Is manager li here? Pleasee over. ¡± There were fewer people in The 5s Store now, and it already seemed a little empty. Her voice reverberated in the store, and soon, the manager standing at the front desk heard her. He quickly put down the things in his hands and walked over. After all, a car that cost more than a million Yuan was a big deal, and it was a one-time payment. No matter what, the manager would definitely not neglect joesse if the conditions were right. Not long after, the manager arrived at the ce where the atmosphere was intense.¡±¡±Miss ... Miss Qiao, what¡¯s the matter?¡± When he saw Yang Yue Yue and the others, the corner of his mouth twitched. He felt that he might have gotten into some trouble this time. Joes pointed at Yang Yue Yue and said calmly,¡±¡±Manager, I¡¯ve already bought the car and I¡¯m about to leave The 5s Store. However, your customer doesn¡¯t seem to want me to leave. She¡¯s blocking my car and asking for death. Please take her away. ¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± In the crowd, someone couldn¡¯t help butugh first, and then it caused a chain reaction. Even Yang Yue Yue¡¯spanions lowered their heads to hide their smiles. Seeing this, yang Yueyue felt even more embarrassed. She covered her swollen face and shot a knife-like look at the manager. ¡°You dare to chase me away?¡± She only dared to be so arrogant because of her family¡¯s influence. Although the manager was in a difficult position, their store was not without big bosses behind it. Otherwise, how could it be thergest 5s store in city h? It was just that he usually held on to the idea of not offending others if he could, so he was more tolerant. If they treated their customers like this, who would dare toe here to buy a car in the future? Thinking of this, the manager had an idea in his heart. He lifted his sses and said,¡±¡±Miss yang, thisdy bought a car after all. She might have something urgent. I wonder if miss Yang can take a step back. The front desk has already prepared coffee for you. ¡± In an instant, the atmosphere became quiet. Yang Yue Yue did not expect that a mere manager of a 5s store would dare to offend her for Qiao si si. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Yang Yue Yue, and herpanion did not speak again. Joes was watching from the side and was also slightly surprised. She thought that the manager would be troubled for a while and did not expect him to make a choice so quickly. However, it was understandable. The most important thing in doing business was credibility. ¡°So you¡¯re telling me to leave?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were sharp. When the manager heard that, he lowered his head slightly. The lenses of his sses reflected some light and refracted a piercing ray of light. Then, he showed a polite smile.¡±¡±Miss yang, I didn¡¯t mean it that way. You¡¯re the young miss of the Yang family. It¡¯s just that if you gather here, you¡¯ll be aughingstock.¡± Hearing this, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression softened a little, but it was still very ugly. Of course, she knew that there was someone behind The 5s Store. It was only because she couldn¡¯t take it lying down that Yang Yue Yue had said a few more words. Now that the manager had given her a way out, she would go along with it. ¡°You¡¯re lucky!¡± Yang Yue Yue red at Qiao si si and turned to leave, her back view filled with anger. He had thought that he could use this opportunity to teach Joes a lesson, but he did not expect it to end like this. Herpanions lost interest and dispersed when they saw her leave. Joesse watched as those people left, and her emotions gradually calmed down. She said to the manager,¡±¡±I¡¯ll have to trouble you this time, manager. ¡± The manager shook his head.¡±You¡¯re too kind, miss. It¡¯s just a small favor.¡± After greeting them, joesse did not stay any longer and entered the car with her car keys. The interior of the car had the smell of a new car, and the exterior design was indeed in line with her aesthetic. After a few days, he could buy some things to decorate it. Joes pressed the car key and started the car. She slowly stepped on the elerator and the car left the 5s shop through the passageway and drove onto the road outside. Chapter 176

Chapter 176: I think it¡¯s pretty good

On the busy road, Joes drove her new car. She was in a good mood and her speed was extremely stable. She returned to Xing Yuan designpany after a short tour. The time it took to buy the car exceeded joesse¡¯s expectations. She was still busy with the remaining documents in thepany. After all, the auction would be held in a week¡¯s time, and there were still many details that needed to be scrutinized. When she returned to the apartment that day, she also told Chen Anna about this. ¡°Really? you bought a ck BMW? And it¡¯s thetest model?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. However, she didn¡¯t doubt her best friend¡¯s words. They were very credible. Joes raised her eyebrows and smiled,¡±¡±I told you, so it must be true. I¡¯ve already paid the full amount.¡± After saying that, she took out the key to the brand new BMW from her pocket. Now, it seemed that there were still benefits to having a car. At least, when going to thepany or going out in the future, he would not need to take a taxi. After all, she was the president of apany. Even if it was a newpany, it was still apany. As a President, if he always took a taxi when he went out, people would probablyugh their heads off. Seeing the BMW key, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up. She quickly reached out to take it and carefully observed it under the light. ...... After a while, she gave him a thumbs up and praised,¡±¡±As expected of sisi. It¡¯s only been a year, and you can already afford a BMW.¡± Joes could not help butugh when she heard that. However, she didn¡¯t hide anything and told him everything about Xing Yuan designpany and Chen zuolin. The gist of it was that the name of the car was hers, but it was actually thepany ¡®s. In other words, it was Chen zuolin ¡®s. That was because Joes did not fork out a single cent for the car. It was all deducted from her funds and did not belong to her at all. After hearing this, Chen Anna waved her hand indifferently,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re being too polite. President Chen only mentioned the car because he wants you to do a good job. If you manage thepany well in the future, wouldn¡¯t that be the best return?¡± That was true. Joes felt that what Anna Chen said made sense, but she still felt that she owed her a favor. However, Chen Anna was envious for a while and quickly changed the topic. She did not waste any more time on the BMW. In the evening. After some thought, joesse took out her phone and sent a message to Chen zuolin, as well as a picture of a BMW. After all, he had invested in her car. Since she had already bought it, he had to inform her. After sending the message, joesse fell asleep. However, she did not know that Chen zuolin, who was on the other side of the screen, was in an extremely good mood. ¡°It seems that this is the right choice.¡± Chen zuolin thought to himself, but he couldn¡¯t help but smile. It was as if flowers were blooming in spring and ice was melting. If someone were to see this now, they would probably understand that this cold-faced CEO who was famous in city h and even the entire country was the same person. This time, he waspletely defeated! ¡­¡­¡­ After Joes got her new car, she would send Anna Chen to thepany in the next few days if the time was right. After that, she would go to Xingyuan to design it herself. The round trip would not take much time. A week passed by quickly, and the day of the auction came. The auction was to start at four in the afternoon. Joes had arrived at the auction site early that morning to observe. The venue was very well chosen. It was originally a high-end club, but after some renovation, it had changed its appearance. The interior was resplendent and extremely luxurious. A red carpet extended from the entrance to the entrance of the auction house. In addition, there were also carefully cut and pleasing green nts. Joes stepped on the soft red carpet with Miley beside her. The two of them looked around the hall and felt that it was not bad. Then, they walked into the auction house. The lights were bright and the decoration was luxurious. There were rows of soft seats and a huge tform in front of them to ce the expensive auction items. However, only two private rooms were set up. The rest were seats in the hall. After all, the people invited were basically people from the upper ss. Even if there was a difference in status, it wouldn¡¯t be too big of a difference. If there were too many private rooms, it would make people feel strange. One of the two boxes was reserved for Chen zuolin, while the other one was empty. Joes had yet to decide on who to give it to, but there was a unique golden invitation among the invitations. Anyone who received the Golden invitation would be able to enter the private room. ¡°Miley, what do you think of the decorations?¡± Joes asked. She thought it was okay, but it was safer to ask Millie¡¯s opinion. She didn¡¯t know if it was too luxurious. However, the decorations here ... Were not designed by Joes. Hengyuan investment had taken over, but the auction was handed over to Xing Yuan design. Millie looked around and nodded,¡±¡±President Qiao, I think it¡¯s good. Although it looks too luxurious, Hengyuan¡¯s investment isn¡¯t just for show. We¡¯re just holding an auction. ¡± After saying that, she revealed a smile. Millie was still able to see things clearly. Joesse was even more satisfied with her assistant, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. After looking around the auction venue, he didn¡¯t find any problems. The auction at night could proceed smoothly without any idents. The only thing he had not seen was the auction items in the warehouse. The key was in Joes ¡®hands. She led Millie to the door of the storeroom and used the key to open the room. The lights were on in the storage room, and the auction items were ced in transparent boxes. From the outside, one could clearly see the items inside. With just one look, Jessi could already spot many precious jewels. In the past year, she had learned a lot of things and met a lot of jewelry designers she had not known before. Other than some top designers who were well-known both domestically and overseas, there were also some designers who were slightly famous. The jewelry that they designed was not as good as those that stood at the top, but it was still extremely popr. After all, the jewelry designed by top designers was not cheap, and it was rtively niche. Only the rich and famous in the industry could afford it. Those from wealthy families could forget about it. Joes saw that there were many pieces of jewelry in the storage room that were more popr. Even ... The jewelry of top designers were carefully preserved, but they were only the finale items. Moreover, there were only one or two of them, not many. Chapter 177

Chapter 177: You don¡¯t dare to do anything to me

Joes was holding a list in her hand. On it were the names of the auction items, the starting price, and the quantity. ¡°Miley, this one is for you. Check if all the items are here, in case you don¡¯t have time to checkter.¡± ¡°Yes, President Qiao.¡± After hearing joesse¡¯s words, Millie took the list and the two of them began to check it. There were a total of twenty-five items up for auction. Fortunately, the storage room had all of them, and it was not as troublesome as joesse had thought. After the examination, she couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh of relief. ¡°President, I¡¯ve already contacted the auctioneer. We only need to wait until 6 pm before we can officially start the auction.¡± Miley said. ¡°That¡¯s good then.¡±Joes¡¯s eyes glowed. Joes and Millie were in charge of the auction, so there wasn¡¯t much work to do. There were also staff members from Hengyuan, so they could handle it. Xing Yuan design still went to work as usual, and there was still a lot of work to be done. Fortunately, Joes had also prepared many benefits to reward everyone. Even if they worked overtime asionally, no one would have anyints. Lin ya and Wang Li, in particr, were like fish in water after changingpanies. They had even designed several excellent drafts. ¡­¡­¡­ ...... Time passed by little by little, and soon, a few hours had passed. Joes and Millie returned to the auction hall at half-past three in the afternoon after lunch at a nearby restaurant. At this time, many people also came. Joes was sitting on a chair in the hall, looking at the entrance of the auction house. The first batch of people had arrived. There were a total of three people, and the leader was boss Xu, who he had seen at the banquetst time. He was wearing a suit and smiling. He had also seen the other two at the banquet. They must have had a good rtionship with President Xu, which was why they hade together. After the three of them stepped into the hall, they immediately saw Joes who was sitting not too far away and waiting. President Xu walked over with the two of them and greeted them,¡±¡±Long time no see, President Qiao.¡± Upon hearing that, joesse raised her eyes slightly and stood up. After greeting them, she shook hands with the three of them. After all, they still had to show respect to each other on the surface. ¡°Boss Xu, it hasn¡¯t been that long. It¡¯s only been a week since The Last Banquet.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with a smile. She was wearing a custom-made ck dress today, which was also very expensive. It took her a lot of effort to buy it, and she didn¡¯t have much left in her wallet. ¡°President Qiao¡¯s words ... Do make sense.¡± President Xu raised his eyebrows. He was very good at livening up the atmosphere. The four of them stood there and chatted for a while. Looking at the clock hanging in the hall, Jossi said,¡±¡±Boss Xu, it¡¯s almost time. Do you want to go in and sit for a while?¡± At this time, more and more people woulde to the auction house. As one of the organizers of the auction, Joes naturally could not walk around as she pleased, and she still had to receive these people. President Xu also understood this. After hearing this, he nodded and said,¡±¡±Of course, we¡¯ll go in first then.¡± After getting an answer, joessjiu called Millie over and said,¡±¡±Miley, bring boss Xu and the others inside for a while. Don¡¯t be slow.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Miley led President Xu and the other two into the auction house. After that, more and more people came in. Joes received them with a smile and had built a good rtionship with many people. After all, those in this position more or less understood the ways of the world, and their IQ was also extremely high. Unreasonable people like Jianghai city and yang Yueyue were just a minority, and most of them were still easy to get along with. After sending another group of guests in, Jossi looked up at the entrance. A few figures walked in from the door, causing her expression to change slightly and the corners of her mouth to Twitch. It really was the devil. The person was fat, his beer belly was so big that it seemed to burst the buttons, and he had a big round face. His eyes were extremely small, and he had the face of a wretched man. Who else could it be but Jianghai? Other than Jiang hai, the other two were unfamiliar to her. They must have been brought here by him. As the saying goes,¡¯birds of a feather flock together¡¯. She felt that anyone who was hanging out with Jianghai city was probably up to no good. Upon seeing them, Joes instantly lost the mood to receive them. However, she still had to maintain her dignity, so she could only brace herself and walk over. ¡°President Qiao, I finally get to see you.¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Joes. His eyes were like x-rays, sizing her up from head to toe, making her feel disgusted. At this, joesse furrowed her brows and did not have the intention to keep it a secret.¡±Director Jiang, this is an auction. Please restrain yourself.¡± She didn¡¯t think that enduring for a while would calm everything down. To deal with people like Jianghai, it was better to be more aggressive. Moreover, Joes was not afraid of him at all, so there was no need for him to hold back. Those who understood knew what she meant. Although Jianghai was lustful, they were not stupid. Otherwise, they would not have been able to run thepany to this extent. He smiled embarrassedly. Although he was still a little unwilling, he restrained his gaze and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know how to respond to President Qiao¡¯s words.¡± The other two also felt a little embarrassed, but since it wasn¡¯t directed at them, they quickly calmed down. Joesughed coldly in her heart and did not have the mood to beat around the bush.¡±Since you¡¯re here, pleasee in, director Jiang.¡± ¡°O-okay.¡± Seeing that many people were looking at him, Jiang hai was no longer in the mood to look at him. He led the two people into the auction house. Millie, who was watching the whole process, had a bad look on her face. She found an opening and quickly walked over, asking,¡±¡±President, are you alright? Did Jiang hai say anything?¡± As for Jiang hai, Millie called him by his full name. However, she wasn¡¯t stupid. She lowered her voice in case someone heard her and caught her. As the assistant of the CEO of Hengyuan investment, Miley naturally knew who Jiang hai was. He was a lecherous man. Hence, when he saw that Jossi was in contact with him, he took the opportunity to show his concern. Joes shook her head and the corners of her lips curled up.¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. He wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything to me. ¡± This was the territory designed by Xing Yuan. If he dared to do anything, he would be courting death! Furthermore, Hengyuan investment was backing her up. If they wanted to touch her, they had to think twice. Miley nodded in understanding.¡±That¡¯s true. But President, why did you invite him? this person¡¯s reputation ... Is a little bad.¡± Chapter 178

Chapter 178: This is what I should do

Millie was confused, but she asked anyway. After hearing her words, Joris exined patiently,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. Since this is an auction, we have to treat the guests equally. After all, no one knows which one of them will bring them wealth. There¡¯s no loss in putting on an act. ¡± She sounded a little righteous, but in fact, she still had some crooked ideas in her heart. Jianghai city ... That pair of eyes had already been restless thest time at the banquet. He didn¡¯t expect it to be the same this time. Since that was the case, then he couldn¡¯t me herter. With a n in mind, Joes lowered her head slightly to hide the light in her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re more thoughtful, President. I didn¡¯t think that much just now. ¡± Millie touched her nose in embarrassment. As the president¡¯s assistant, she had actually acted on impulse just now. His CEO was right. Businessmen were all profit-driven, so who cared about the reputation of Jianghai? In this ce, would he dare to not pay? The answer was no. That was enough. Jianghai¡¯s money went into Xing Yuan¡¯s pocket. ¡°It¡¯s fine, you can go ahead. ¡± Joesughed. ...... ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Millie nodded and turned around to go do her own things. After all, there were more people in the auction house now, and there were many things that needed to be prepared, such as tea. After that, Joes continued to receive some otherpany bosses. Just as she was about to sit down and rest, an important figure came. At the entrance of the auction house, a tall man walked in. He was handsome and exuded a cold aura. Upon entering the auction hall, he immediately turned his gaze to Joes. It was Chen zuolin. The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She took two steps forward and said with a smile,¡±¡±Chief Chen, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chen zuolin nodded, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time, instantly attracting the attention of many female guests. The eyes of the guests in the hall were drawn over one after another, and their faces were filled with surprise. Isn¡¯t this the president of Hengyuan investment? Usually, he would have a cold expression when he saw her. He didn¡¯t expect her to smile today. What was the rtionship between this Jossi and President Chen? Many guests began to whisper among themselves, but there were also many who were on good terms with Chen zuolin who didn¡¯t care about this and directly went up to greet him. For example ... The president of the Xu family. President Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile,¡±¡±Chief Chen, I knew you would attend the auction. I was right.¡± Chen zuolin only smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn cold, Joes blinked and quickly added,¡±¡±President Xu, you must be joking. After all, Hengyuan is the investor behind the auction. It¡¯s only human nature for the investors toe and take a look at the auction house that was assigned to us. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± President Xu nodded. Joes ¡®ability to adapt was still very strong, especially after a year of training abroad. She now had a lot of knowledge that she did not know before. In terms of the ways of the world, he was also much more knowledgeable than before. Unless she really met someone she didn¡¯t want to receive, then her face would turn cold. ¡°By the way, Mr. Chen, how about I go to Hengyuan tomorrow to discuss the investment n? I¡¯ve been thinking about this for a long time, but I haven¡¯t been able to confirm it. ¡± President Xu seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He pped his hands and said,¡± Hispany and Hengyuan investment were considered to be in a cooperative rtionship. They had many coborations on a daily basis. Therefore, whenever something happened, the first person that President Xu thought of would be Chen zuolin. Chen zuolin didn¡¯t refuse. He thought for a while and said,¡±Okay,e to my office and we¡¯ll have a talk.¡± Seeing the two of them start to chat, many people who wanted toe up and say hello stopped. Joes was also very understanding and did not disturb him. After the two of them finished their conversation, the other guests went up to greet them and then heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the time. It was almost fouro¡¯ clock in the afternoon, which was also the time for the auction to start. Joes retracted her gaze and said,¡±¡±Everyone, it¡¯s almost time. Why don¡¯t we enter the arena now?¡± Upon hearing her words, the guests began to prepare to enter the venue. Joes was also prepared to follow behind the group, but at this moment, something unexpected happened. ¡°Wait,¡± An extremely familiar voice suddenly came from the entrance of the auction house. Upon hearing this voice, Joes stopped in her tracks and looked up abruptly. As expected, she saw that figure. With the light behind him, his suit made him look even more slender and extraordinary. His handsome face was exquisite and three-dimensional, as if it had been cut by a knife. One look at him and one would not be able to look away, especially those pair of Starry Eyes. It was like a vortex, deep and distant. With one hand in his pocket, Zheng Zeyi walked into the auction house. The way he appeared was too eye-catching, and all the guests stopped in their tracks and focused their eyes on that figure. ¡°Sisi.¡± Upon hearing those two words, Joes snapped back to her senses. She raised her head and met that pair of eyes. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. He stood in front of joesse, and his eyes could only hold her. Beside him, Chen zuolin¡¯s expression was calm, but his heart was indeed in turmoil. He clenched his fists by his side, and the blue veins on his fists could be seen. ¡°Cough cough ...¡± Joesse cleared her throat, trying to hide the sudden blush on her face. After a moment, she calmed down and asked,¡±¡±President Zheng, what are you doing here?¡± Qiao si suddenly recalled that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s name was not on her invitation list. He should not have an invitation. Thinking of this, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little guilty. Logically speaking, Zheng Zeyi had saved her once again. No matter what, she should invite him to the auction this time, regardless of whether he chose toe or not. However ... Joes had forgotten. Hearing her words, Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and the corners of his lips curled up.¡±¡±Although I didn¡¯t receive an invitation, chief Chen did give me one. Chief Chen, thank you. ¡± Zheng Zeyi took out an exquisite invitation card from his pocket. It was golden in color. This was the invitation to sit in the private room. A hint of astonishment shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. She did not expect Chen zuolin to give this invitation to Zheng Zeyi. With that, the Presidents of the tworgestpanies in city h were seated in two separate private rooms. Joes could not help but raise her brows, feeling that the uing auction would be very interesting. ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯re wee. This is what I should do.¡± Chen zuolin said. His voice was faint, and no emotion could be heard in it. Chapter 179

Chapter 179: I didn¡¯t choose the wrong person

The two of them looked at each other. Anyone with eyes could see that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Other than Joes, everyone else knew about it. In the year that she had left city h, Hengyuan investment and the Zheng¡¯s group had been in a terrible rtionship. The otherpanies could only survive in the cracks between the two bigpanies and not say a word. Therefore, it was not a matter of one or two days that the two of them were not on good terms, and it was not a secret news. At this moment, the guests noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so they kept their mouths shut. They were no longer in the mood to whisper to each other like before. At this moment, they all wished that their sense of existence would be reduced to the lowest. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched and she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over,¡±¡±It¡¯s my honor to have President Zheng here. Since that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s time for the auction, so we should enter first. What do you think, President Chen and President Zheng?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, two pairs of eyes gathered on her. Instantly, Joes, who felt immense pressure,ughed bitterly in her heart. The auras of these two were a little too strong. ¡°Alright, since President Qiao has said so, I won¡¯t waste any more time.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled evilly. ¡°Me too,¡± ...... Chen zuolin was not to be outdone either. The two of them were toozy to look at each other as they walked into the auction house with long legs. The other guests automatically opened up a path for them. It could be seen how powerful these two people were. Upon seeing this, joesse quickly got Millie to lead Zheng Zeyi and the other two to their respective private rooms. After making sure that there were no more guests, she closed the door of the auction house. The auction hall was brightly lit and the lighting was soft. Each seat was very soft, and one would not feel ufortable sitting there. Other than that, every guest who entered the hall would receive a number te. For example, Zheng Zeyi was the guest in the number one private room, so he would get the number te of number one, while Chen zuolin would get the number two. The other guests were seated ording to the sequence of their admission. After receiving their number tes, they would be seated ording to their number. These were all invested and designed by Hengyuan. Xing Yuan design was indeed only entrusted to hold this auction. Joes had a special seat below the stage. She did not participate in the auction, but she had to observe the situation. After the guests had taken their seats, the auction began. The scale of this auction was muchrger than the one that joesse had attended in Yunqi. After all, Hengyuan had invested in this event, and the difference could be seen at a nce. Joes sat in her seat and nced at the two private rooms above her. She pursed her lips and then looked away. He didn¡¯t know if the two of them would fightter, so it was best not to let such a thing happen. They were all big shots. If there was a dispute, it would be very difficult to deal with. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin were sitting in two private rooms. Although there was a wall blocking them, both of them could feel the strong smell of gunpowder. After the auction started, the auctioneer took the microphone and went up to the stage. This time, the auctioneer was a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. She looked very flirtatious. As soon as she went on stage, she attracted the attention of many guests. However, the auctioneer was dressed very tightly and did not care about the crowd¡¯s gazes at all. Under the spotlight, he was like a fish in water. ¡°Wee to this star origin auction. I¡¯m the auctioneer of this auction, Chi Yan Ling.¡± After she finished speaking, she revealed a charming smile to the audience and pped her hands. ¡°Then let¡¯s cut to the chase and get straight to the point. Most of the items for this auction are jewelry. I¡¯m sure you all know this.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member carried a ss box with jewelry inside. The ss box was carefully ced on the stage, and the items inside were also under everyone¡¯s gaze. It was a crystal bracelet with a blue gem on the top, which glowed under the light. Joes had already seen such a thing in the storeroom, so she was naturally not surprised. ¡°I don¡¯t think many customers know about this bracelet. It was made by a top jewelry designer in China. The materials used are not only valuable, but they also have a deep meaning. ¡± Yan Ling¡¯s voice was sweet and very pleasing to the ear. None of the guests below the stage were distracted, and they were all listening to her seriously. Looking at this scene, Joes could not help but nod her head in satisfaction. He had indeed chosen the right person. When she was looking for an auctioneer, she had decided on Yan Ling at a nce, and was very sure that she could take on the job. Now it seemed that it was indeed the case, and it was even better than she had imagined. After Yan Ling briefly exined the history of the bracelet, she used a small hammer to hit it, and said,¡±¡±The starting price of this bracelet is 100000!¡± One hundred thousand. This price was not considered high for the rich kids present. It all depended on whether they were willing to buy it. The first item of the auction wasn¡¯t very good, but Yan Ling didn¡¯t take the path of directly arousing enthusiasm. After the starting price was announced, many people started to speak up. ¡± 120000!¡± ¡°Two hundred thousand, ten thousand!¡± ¡°Two hundred and fifty thousand!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Yan Ling looked on from the stage with a smile. Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, she said,¡±¡±Number eight bid three hundred thousand. Is there anyone else?¡± There was no sound from the audience, and the atmosphere was very quiet. The bracelet¡¯s price had reached 300000, which was more than its original value. It should have been around 200000. Joes found the bidder in the crowd. He was a young rich man¡¯s son, but she was not too familiar with him. She probably bought it for someone, so she didn¡¯t care. ¡°Three hundred thousand going once! Three hundred thousand thrice! Congrattions to number eight for winning the bid for the bracelet!¡± Yan Ling said. There was a lot of apuse in the audience, all to congratte the young master number eight. After all, they still had to put on a good show. After all, they were all people of the upper ss. After the first item was sold, the staff quickly carried the second transparent ss box. This time, the box was no longer filled with essories or jewelry. Instead, it was a Jade Buddha with exquisite workmanship. It was about the size of an adult¡¯s palm, and its color was warm and smooth. The appearance of the Jade Buddha attracted the attention of many people. This was also the n that Yan Ling and Qiao sisi hade up with after their discussion. They did not have to auction off each piece of jewelry ording to their value. Apart from the few pieces of jewelry that were the finale, the rest didn¡¯t need to be done ording to the usual routine. The low-value ones were mixed with some high-value ones. Chapter 180 - The president likes Jossi

Chapter 180: The president likes Jossi

Looking at the reaction of the crowd below the stage, Jossi had an idea in her heart. These male guests should be more concerned about such things. The female guests, on the other hand, valued jewelry more. Yan Ling was also extremely satisfied. He looked down at the stage and said,¡±¡±This Jade Buddha is worth thousands of gold. It¡¯s not just for show. The Jade Buddha protects your health and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. All the guests should know this. It¡¯ll be an excellent ornament if you wear it. ¡± She exined clearly word by word, and finally said,¡±¡±The starting price of the Jade Buddha is one million!¡± It was many times higher than the bracelet from before! The difference in value between the two could be seen clearly. Moreover, this was only the starting price of the Jade Buddha. There should be quite a number of guests who had their eyes on this item, and Jossi felt that the final price ... Would probably be beyond her imagination. In the private room. Zheng Zeyi sat on the leather sofa and raised his eyebrows as he watched the people below the stage fight for the Jade Buddha. On the side, assistant li, who had just followed them in, was a little apprehensive. He maintained the silence of the atmosphere. Not long after, Zheng Zeyi suddenly said,¡±¡±How many items are there in this auction?¡± ¡°There should be more than 20 pieces,¡± assistant li thought for a moment. ...... He didn¡¯t know the details. He hadn¡¯t investigated it, so it was normal that he didn¡¯t know the exact number. Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly after he got the answer he wanted to know. Then, his eyes fell on the wall. Chen zuolin was just one wall away. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°One million two hundred thousand!¡± ¡°I! One million and five hundred thousand!¡± At this moment, a male guest couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±I¡¯ll pay two million. Please give me some face. I like this Jade Buddha quite a lot. ¡± Many people heard his words and thought about it. This guest¡¯s identity was not simple. Although he was not as powerful as the two leadingpanies, he was still a well-knownpany in the real estate industry. Many of the people present had worked with him before, so after hearing his words, many people stopped bidding. Only a few people were still bidding, and they were not familiar with the guest. ¡°Two million two hundred thousand!¡± ¡°I bid 2.4 million!¡± Seeing the price slowly increasing, the male guest became a little anxious and directly bid,¡±¡±Three million five hundred thousand!¡± 3.5 million was already a premium for the Jade Buddha. The original target was three million. At the very least, 2.8 million would be enough. He didn¡¯t expect that there would be so many more. Yan Ling¡¯s heart was filled with joy. The prices of these items were rted to her Commission, so naturally, the higher the better. For a long time, no one made another bid. She decided,¡±3.5 million once!...¡± 3.5 million thrice! Congrattions to this guest for winning the bid for this Jade Buddha statue. A staff member will send it to youter. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The guest nodded. He even thanked the guests around him, giving them a lot of face. Even if they had lost some money, so what if they had just obtained the Jade Buddha? with their status, they did notck this little money at all. What hecked was something good to his liking, and that was enough. Millie sat beside Joes and said in satisfaction,¡±¡±President, the auction this time was a huge sess.¡± She had previously invested in Hengyuan and had never been involved in auctions because Hengyuan usually did not do such things. This was also the first time. Joes revealed a faint smile and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s good that there¡¯s a response. Don¡¯t worry, this is just the appetizer.¡± She knew very well that the few items disyed were just the opening act. The real highlight had not yet appeared. It would take a while. ¡°I understand, President. Do you want me to bring some tea or something to President Chen?¡± Miley asked. After all, he was a guest in the private room. His status was different, and he was also an investor. It was fine to entertain him well. Upon hearing this, Joes nodded her head slightly and did not reject him. Millie was just about to get up and leave when she suddenly called out to her, causing her to be a little puzzled.¡±¡±President, is there anything else?¡± Joes pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before saying,¡±¡±Send some over from the first private room as well, don¡¯t favor one over the other.¡± Zheng Zeyi was sitting in private room number one. Millie nodded after she finished speaking. She seemed to have thought of something and smiled profoundly. Seeing that things were about to be distorted, Joes quickly said,¡±¡±Look at your expression, what are you thinking? No matter what, they were still guests of the private room. He couldn¡¯t just give them away on the second and not on the first, right? Of course, we can¡¯t do that. ¡± For some reason, she felt even more guilty after this exnation. Millie blinked her eyes and suppressed her smile.¡±¡±I understand, President. I didn¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯ll go and prepare now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After saying that, Millie went to prepare tea and sent the things to the two boxes. On the other hand, Joes nced at Room 1 with aplicated expression, then looked away and focused on the auction. The auction was still going on in an orderly manner. Following that, several valuable items were presented. Some of them were more valuable than the Jade Buddha, but there were also some that were less valuable. They were not sent in order. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Knock, knock.¡± There was a sudden knock on the door. Assistant li quickly opened the door and saw Miley holding a tray. Assistant li was a little puzzled and asked,¡±¡±Miss mi, what are you doing? Come in first. ¡± Millie walked into the box after she got the message. The interior structure of the first and second boxes were simr. Zheng Zeyi was sitting on the sofa, exuding a natural aura that made people tense up involuntarily. Mi Li swallowed her saliva and did not dare to look up at Zheng Zeyi. However, he was mumbling in his heart. Why did he feel that this President Zheng, who smiled more often, looked even scarier than President Chen? After entering the room, Millie ced the tray on the table. On the tray were two cups of steaming coffee and some sweet but not greasy pastries, all of which were carefully prepared. Putting down her things, Millie smiled and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, this is the tea that our President ordered to be delivered.¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s imposing manner was slightly restrained, and his gaze fell on the table. When he saw the desserts, a smile appeared on his face. ¡°President Qiao?¡± Although assistant li knew who it was, he still wanted to confirm it first to make his CEO feel better. After working under Zheng ze for such a long time, he had already learned a lot of things. For example ... The president liked Jossi! ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Millie nodded with a smile on her face. Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Her intuition

Zheng Zeyi could not hide the smile in his eyes when he heard that. He coughed lightly and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you to thank President Qiao for me. I¡¯ll ept the gift first.¡± Seeing this, Millie couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh of relief. She then dismissed her previous thoughts. She must have sensed wrongly just now. This President Zheng was quite easy to get along with. He was just a little cold when he first came in. ¡°Enjoy your meal, President Zheng. I¡¯ll be going back first.¡± After saying their goodbyes, Miley turned around and left the room, leaving assistant li and Zheng Zeyi to look at each other. Assistant liughed in embarrassment and pointed to the tray on the table.¡±¡±President, President Qiao sent this over.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not say a word, then he suddenly said,¡±¡±Do you want it?¡± Upon hearing this, assistant li couldn¡¯t even imagine what he had heard. For a moment, he was quite touched. The president ... Was actually asking him if he wanted it! Just as assistant li was about to say that she could try it, she looked up and met his deep eyes. His eyes seemed to be saying,¡±do you dare to try?¡± Assistant li immediately lowered his head and said in a higher voice,¡±¡±No, President. I don¡¯t like to eat these things.¡± ...... ¡°Well, that¡¯s good.¡± Zheng Zeyi was quite satisfied. He picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. It was indeed sweet but not greasy, and the taste was excellent. From the looks of it, Joes had indeed put in a lot of effort. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi could not help but speak softly, his gaze even gentler. If he had known that Chen zuolin in the other room had also received these things, he might not have been so happy. Chen zuolin¡¯s reaction was much better than Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. Even though she was happy, she still had a cold expression on her face. Only when she mentioned Joes would she soften a little. Millie couldn¡¯t help but smile after seeing their reactions. It seemed like ... She was a little interested in President Qiao. However, she didn¡¯t mention this matter when she returned to her seat, pretending that she didn¡¯t know anything. It was to prevent Jossi from not being able to continue the conversation. Joes did not know what Millie was thinking about as well. She waspletely focused on the auction. At this moment, seven items had already been auctioned off, and the total price had exceeded ten million. This was the eighth item. The smile on Yan Ling¡¯s face deepened. At her signal, the staff member lifted up another ss box. The items this time were slightly different from the previous ones. Most of the items in the auction were jewelry. However, Hengyuan investment had also prepared some other precious items in order to better mobilize and the atmosphere. For example, in the ss box now, there was a porcin bottle carved with blue and white flowers. It looked extremely exquisite on the outside, with green and white alternating between each other. The colors reflected each other and were extremely pleasing to the eye. After the vase was ced on the stage, it immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Many people¡¯s eyes were burning with desire. Many people had made up their minds, their eyes determined to win. Seeing this, Yan Ling was even more satisfied and said,¡±¡±Dear guests, this item is a porcin bottle from the Ming Dynasty. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the blue and white porcin carvings were perfect. Even at that time, it was a rare porcin vase, let alone now. ¡± What she said was also correct. The value of these antiques would only rise, not fall. After that, seeing that he was almost done speaking, Yan Ling struck the hammer and said,¡±¡±The starting price of this porcin bottle is three million!¡± Three million! This was the item with the highest starting price among all the items currently up for auction. Of course, this blue and white porcin bottle was definitely worth the price. Most of the people present could see it. This kind of treasure was hard toe by, and if he missed it, it was uncertain if he woulde across it again. Although two million wasn¡¯t a small amount, those who coulde to the auction house were all people with status and power. This number was within their scope. As soon as Yan Ling shouted the starting price, the atmosphere in the hall immediately heated up, and many people followed suit. ¡°Two million one hundred thousand!¡± ¡°I bid 2.6 million!¡± ¡°I ... 2.8 million!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The price was rising at an extremely fast rate, and the voices of people calling out prices kept on ringing out. It could be seen that most of the guests in the hall liked this porcin bottle very much. Otherwise, there would not be such a reaction. At this moment, Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes were darting around the porcin bottle. He was ready to bid. He had also bid for a ne before and had spent about 700000 to 800000 Yuan, which was not a lot. Since Joes had specially invited him, she must have invited him over to fleece her. Joesse did not expect Jianghai to be so smart. She sighed. If she had known, she would have sent someone to help her at the auction. ¡°Three million five hundred thousand!¡± Jiang hai raised the number te in his hand. However, as soon as he made his bid, the price was immediately pushed down by the others, because the value of this porcin bottle was far more than 3.5 million. Seeing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s expression turned ugly. However, he had no other choice. If he wanted to get this bottle, he had to offer a high price. At this time, there was no movement in the two private rooms above. The two CEOs of bigpanies were not in the mood topete for anything. Seeing this, Miley felt relieved, even though she did not know how Jiang hai had offended her bossst time. However, this man had a wretched appearance and one could tell that he was not a good person at first nce. ¡°President, he has bid five million, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll stop. This porcin bottle should be at least eight million.¡± Millie¡¯s eyes curved, but her guess was still very urate. Joes nodded slightly and rubbed her chin with her fingers. She said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, but it should be a premium. This kind of thing is hard toe by, and everyone here is a high-end person in the upper ss. To be honest ... They don¡¯tck money, and they just want to keep it. ¡± This was her intuition, and the current development had always been within her expectations. Millie blinked her eyes and said with a smile,¡±¡±President, it seems like you¡¯re right.¡± The bidding for the blue and white porcin vase was the fiercest among all the items that had been auctioned. There were more than 20 people bidding, but they still didn¡¯t stop. Jiang Hai¡¯s voice was drowned out. ¡°I bid 8.5 million!¡± A man raised the number te in his hand and said with determination. 80,000 and 500000 was almost the value of the porcin bottle, but it did not stop. Another person also raised his number te.¡±I bid 8.8 million!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The crowd was in an uproar. Many people had already ced their bids and were now watching the show. Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Who could get to this point?

Thepetition had been going on until now, and only five people were still bidding, unwilling to give up on the porcin bottle. As for the two CEOs in the room, they were not interested in this thing for the time being. ¡°Nine million!¡± Someone else made a bid. Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. This group of people was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. It¡¯s just a blue and white porcin bottle. Do you have to keep pestering me? What he did not know was that this was the effect that Joes wanted. She was bent on ripping off Jianghai¡¯s wool. Didn¡¯t he want to see it? Joes agreed, but she had to pay the price. That was the price. Gritting his teeth in anger, Jiang hai could not help but raise his number te and continue bidding,¡±¡±Ten million!¡± It had increased by a million! After this sentence, the scene fell into a temporary silence, and no one continued to bid. A sweet smile hung on Yan Ling¡¯s face as she scanned the auction house and said,¡±¡±Number 10 bid 10 million. Is there anyone else?¡± There was silence. ...... Just as Jiang hai thought that the bottle was going to fall into his hands, he smiled smugly. However, it didn¡¯t take long for their hopes to be dashed. ¡°I bid 11 million!¡± It had increased by one million again! Jiang Hai¡¯s expression froze when he heard the voice. His eyes turned fierce as he searched for the owner of the voice in the auction hall. It was also easy to find. It was not far away, and it was a familiar face. The man was the president of the Xu group. Seeing this person, Jiang Hai¡¯s hatred grew but he did not dare to show it. Hispany was not as powerful as Jianghai, so he could not afford to offend him. However, he also wanted the porcin bottle this time. After calcting the liquid funds in his pocket, Jianghai decided to bid two more times and then stop. ¡± 12 million!¡± Jiang hai made his bid. President Xu looked at him and said,¡±¡± 13 million!¡± ¡± 14 million!¡± There were only two people left bidding for the porcin bottle. As expected, the price of the porcin bottle had already increased by a lot. Jiang hai gritted his teeth and looked at the calm CEO Xu. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. What if he deliberately raised the price and made this President Xu bleed? Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes gleamed with pride at the thought. He felt that it was a good idea. Since this person wanted to fight with him, he could just give it up. It was not easy to take it away. With that thought in mind, Jiang hai raised his bid even higher,¡±¡± 16 million!¡± It was raised by two million! President Xu seemed to know what he was thinking. He looked at him through the crowd with a faint smile. Then, he raised his number te and announced, 17 million! Seeing this, Jiang hai felt that there was still a possibility of squeezing him dry. If he didn¡¯t want him to take the porcin bottle away, then President Xu would have to pay a huge price. ¡± 19 million!¡± As if he had lost his mind, Jianghai once again raised the price by two million. It was already a few million higher. The other guests did not dare to participate in the bidding between the two. This price was already a loss. Even if they wanted the porcin bottle, they still had some rationality. After Jiang hai made his bid, he looked at CEO Xu with a triumphant look, as if he was saying,¡±can you continue?¡± President Xu also smiled and looked at Jiang hai.¡±¡±Director Jiang, do you really want this porcin bottle?¡± ¡°Not really,¡± Jiang haiughed coldly,¡±I just like him. Plus, I can afford the price, so I just want topete.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ...¡± President Xu nodded in understanding. From Jiang Hai¡¯s point of view, his expression was one of unwillingness. He was certain that this person would continue to bid. However, something shocking happened. The next moment, President Xu shook his head slightly and said,¡±¡±Since you like this bottle so much, I won¡¯t fight for it. You can have it.¡± For a moment, there wasplete silence. The crowdughed. They finally knew what this President Xu was up to. It turned out that he didn¡¯t like Jianghai and wanted to use it to teach him a lesson. However, they were not surprised. Jiang Hai¡¯s personality was indeed annoying, and it was not just President Xu who disliked him. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai¡¯s face turned pale. His eyes widened in disbelief. He could not believe that he had been tricked by the president of the Xu family. ...You don¡¯t want it anymore?¡± Jiang hai couldn¡¯t help but ask, his tone filled with uncertainty. The hands by his side were clenched into fists, and the fat on his stomach was jiggling because of his anger. President Xu looked at him and said with a smile,¡±¡±Yes, I don¡¯t like to take away someone¡¯s love, so I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Not only did he set Jianghai up, but he also gave himself the title of a helpful person. Jiang hai gulped. The smug look on his face was long gone. What reced it was an irrepressible rage! This person was simply toying with him! Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes looked as if they were about to spew fire. However, Chairman Xu¡¯s influence was much stronger than his, so he definitely could not go against him. Aggrieved! At that moment, there was only one thought in Jiang Hai¡¯s mind. He was so angry that he stuttered,¡±¡±Then, then I really have to thank you, boss Xu, for letting me have it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite. ¡± A smile appeared on President Xu¡¯s face. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that everyone present knew him, they would have thought that he was as easy to get along with as he appeared to be. Without some strength, who could have gotten to this point? Jiang hai looked at everyone¡¯s expressions and felt like a joke. He had been yed for a fool and didn¡¯t even know it. However, this time, he could only swallow his anger. He would not dare to let Jianghai city offend President Xu. He could only me himself for not being smart enough this time and being tricked so many times. The price of the porcin bottle, which was originally suppressed to eight million, was doubled and more! If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hold this in. Jiang hai did not want to look at CEO Xu anymore. The anger on his face could not be concealed, and his green bean-sized eyes widened in anger. Seeing that they had finished speaking, Yan Ling smilingly knocked on the gavel.¡±¡±Number 10 bid 19 million. Is there anyone else?¡± No one made a sound, and no one was stupid enough to make a sound. No one wanted to be the victim. The silence was like a mockery of Jianghai city. Yan Ling didn¡¯t care and directly said,¡±¡±Neen million going once! 19 million going thrice! Congrattions to number 10 for winning the bid for the blue and white porcin bottle. A staff member will send it overter. ¡± ¡°Pa pa!¡± The whole audience was apuding and congratting him for winning the blue and white porcin bottle at such a high price. Chapter 183

Chapter 183: The bracelet with a story

If he had gotten it for 10 million, Jianghai might have been happier, but he was not in the mood for that. His face was extremely gloomy, and it made him look even uglier. What blue and white porcin bottle? all Jiang hai wanted to do now was to smash it. He was no longer in the mood for leisure. Looking at the scene of Jianghai being scammed, joesse was slightly relieved. This was what she wanted to do. She didn¡¯t expect that someone would actually help her do it. ¡­¡­¡­ After Yan Ling set the price, President Xu seemed to have sensed something. His gaze passed through the crowd andnded on Qiao sisi. Joes smiled when she saw his gaze. This time, she was certain that President Xu was trying to help her. That was why he had suddenly set up Jianghai city. Even though she did not know why he was doing this, joesse was still grateful. After this episode in Jianghai, the subsequent auction items appeared to be more calm. The bidding was somewhat peaceful. Joes sat in her seat and watched the auction go on. Millie, on the other hand, was still thinking about the auctioneer of the blue and white porcin bottle. ¡°President, this is great!¡± She said happily.¡±That Jiang hai guy has finally been taught a lesson.¡± ...... Miley lowered her voice. It wasn¡¯t good to be heard by others. Fortunately, the bidding in the auction house was loud, so no one would pay attention to them. Other than the two private rooms above. Joes also revealed a faint smile,¡±¡±Even though that¡¯s the case, we still seem to owe him a favor.¡± She was talking about that President Xu. Even if he did not do much, he had helped to teach Jianghai a lesson. This was an undeniable fact. Miley understood immediately and understood the twists and turns, but she felt that although the president of the Xu group might have other intentions ... However, it was still better than Jianghai. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue watching the rest.¡± Joes¡¯s smile deepened as she cast her gaze towards the stage. At the auction, Yan Ling was like a fish in water. At present, 20 items had already been sold, and none of them were unsold. It could be seen that the situation was still very popr. To joesse, this was the greatest reward she could get in return. The same would happen to star Yuanpany, which would rise step by step under his leadership and be a leading enterprise in jewelry design. Even surpassing Jin Yu wasn¡¯t an impossible thing. ¡°Next up is the 21st item. It¡¯s a gemstone bracelet made by a master designer!¡± Yan Ling said. Beside her was a transparent ss box, and the contents were revealed to everyone. In an exquisite box, there was an extremely beautiful bracelet. Each gem was bright and shiny, and they were natural blue gems, which were refreshing and beautiful. After looking at the bracelet, Joes could not help but frown. For some reason, she felt that it was somewhat familiar. It was the same when he first saw her, but the designer¡¯s name was anonymous on the list, so he couldn¡¯t check it. However, the known information was that this jewelry designer was a top-tier one. No one denied this. Since she could not figure it out, Joes decided to stop thinking about it and suppressed her thoughts. What she did not know was that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression changed the moment he saw the bracelet. He revealed a determined look. The guests in the audience also had a great reaction, especially the female guests. Many of them had taken a fancy to this bracelet. Yan Ling smiled sweetly and said into the microphone,¡±¡±This bracelet was made by an anonymous top designer. Take note ... It¡¯s a top designer.¡± There were not many people who could really reach this level. The reputation of a top designer was a living signboard in the jewelry design industry. Even the people of the upper ss would feel proud if they told others that they were buying high-end jewelry. After all, it would feel good to say that it was designed by a top designer. Even though it was anonymous, it didn¡¯t affect anything. Feeling the burning gazes of many guests, Yan Ling was satisfied and said,¡±¡±The starting price of this gemstone bracelet is five million Yuan!¡± This price was even higher than the blue-and-white porcin bottle! The closer it was to the end of the auction, the more valuable the jewelry would be. The blue and white porcin bottle had already doubled in price, so he didn¡¯t know how much profit this bracelet could bring. Joes could not think of an answer to her question and frowned slightly. After Yan Ling announced the starting bid, the guests sitting below began to raise their number tes to bid. ¡°I¡¯ll pay seven million!¡± ¡°I¡¯m from the Yan n. Eight million. Please show mercy.¡± The voice of thedy from the Yan family was quickly drowned out. She put down the sign with hatred. ¡°Ten million!¡± ¡°This bracelet is worth 15 million at most. I bid 15 million!¡± The crowd was in an uproar. The price was really rising. This threshold blocked many people¡¯s thoughts of bidding. They all put down the number tes in their hands and decided to give up. Lady Yan could no longer fight for it. She looked at the bracelet with a somewhat reluctant gaze. After the guest who bid 15 million finished speaking, he stopped for a while and started to bid again. ¡°Haha, so what if it¡¯s 15 million? It¡¯s worth it to buy Madam¡¯s heart. I¡¯ll pay 20 million!¡± A director of apany couldn¡¯t help but raise his board. He was famous in the circle for spoiling his wife. Many people were envious. This man was really good to his wife. The price suddenly rose by another five million. The few people who were still bidding just now were silent at this time. The person who had said that the highest bid was only 15 million had also given up. Seeing this, the director smiled and felt a little relieved. He looked at his wife with a few loving eyes. Yan Ling knocked on the hammer and said,¡±¡±Number 7 has bid 20 million. Is there anyone else?¡± For a long time, no one made a sound. Just as Yan Ling was certain that no one else was bidding, a maic voice suddenly rang out from private room number one. ¡± 40 million.¡± His voice was calm, as if he was narrating a very simple matter. In an instant, the auction house fell into silence. This was the first bid from the guest in the private room above. The voice came from the first private room, which was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bid. After Zheng Zeyi made his bid, he leaned against the soft sofa and took a sip of the coffee from the exquisite porcin cup in his hand. It was rich and fragrant. He had to get his hands on this bracelet. When Qiao si heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bid, she could not help but be surprised. She did not expect him to bid. Could it be that there was a story behind this bracelet? At the thought of this, joesse pursed her lips slightly, unable to recall the matter in her mind. Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Good job this time

What hecked was a sh of inspiration. Joes slowly heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, her mind suddenly jolted as an idea shed through her mind. Her eyes immediately lit up, and her gaze fell straight on the ss box on the stage. The bracelet was extremely dazzling under the light. Joes finally remembered and understood why she kept finding the bracelet familiar. She had been to Yunqi before and visited grandma Chen with Zheng ze. Now that she thought about it, it was this style. Moreover, the designer was anonymous, which made joesse even more certain that the gemstone ne was designed by grandma Chen. This could also exin why Zheng Zeyi, who had not made a move all this while, suddenly made a move when he saw the gemstone bracelet. She probably wanted to bid for the item, so that she could keep it for herself or give it back to grandma Chen. At least it was better than the things being left outside. After getting her answer, Joes felt slightly more at ease, but she was still a little upset. If he had recognized it in the warehouse earlier, there would have been other ways to deal with it, but now ... He could only put it up for auction. ¡°AI.¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief. ...... The guests in the audience looked at each other and thought that President Zheng was really generous to double the price of 20 million. When the director heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, his face stiffened. He looked at his wife apologetically, and his wife shook her head, indicating that it was fine. ¡°President Zheng,¡± the director said with a smile,¡±my wife really likes this bracelet. I wonder if you can bear to part with it?¡± His tone was a little apprehensive as he spoke. Although this director was also a famous person in the business world, he was still far from Zheng Zeyi. After hearing his words, Zheng Zeyi fell silent for a while. Assistant Li¡¯s eyelids twitched. This director of a well-knownpany was really bold. He didn¡¯t even want to give up. However, he understood his boss. Although he would not give him up, he would not embarrass the director. Looking at this scene, joesse was also curious about what Zheng ze would do. He probably wouldn¡¯t let her. After all, he was not rted to this board member, and he had a rtionship with grandma Chen. Sitting on the soft sofa in the room, Zheng Zeyi saw the director and his wife through the ss window. For some reason, a pair of figures appeared in his mind. ¡°Since you want it, I¡¯ll withdraw from thepetition,¡± he said after a long time. Assistant li was stunned when he heard this. He ... He didn¡¯t hear wrong, right? Their President had actually given it up. ¡°President, you really don¡¯t want that bracelet?¡± Assistant Li¡¯s gaze was extremelyplicated. He did not expect this to happen. He thought that Zheng ze would get what he wanted. It was assistant Li¡¯s idea that had gone wrong. If she could get into the hands of a better person, grandma Chen would probably be happy. After all, this was what a jewelry designer wanted to see. Upon hearing the voice from the box, not only were the other guests shocked, even Joes was shocked. ¡°Miley, what did I just hear?¡± She asked with aplicated look in her eyes. Would the domineering President give up something he was determined to get? ¡°President, you heard me right,¡± Miley said with a smile.¡±President Zheng has indeed given it up.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes fell silent for a moment. Then, he revealed a smile and his mood instantly improved. The director smiled and looked at his wife in surprise. He said gratefully,¡±¡±Then, thank you, President Zheng!¡± Now that the price had been raised to 40 million, it was not that the Board of Directors could not afford it. It was difficult at first because it was very easy for Zheng Zeyi to offer a higher price. Now that Zheng Zeyi had agreed to give it up, it was not a loss to buy a bracelet from a top designer for 40 million. Moreover, he didn¡¯tck this bit of money. The director directly raised his board and said,¡±¡± 41 million!¡± Now, there was finally no one blocking the way, and the others were all silent. Seeing this, Yan Ling also directly picked up a hammer and gave the final word,¡±¡±Forty-one million going once, forty-one million going twice, forty-one million going thrice! Congrattions on winning the bid for a bracelet from a top designer on the seventh. A staff member will send it over to youter. ¡± ¡°Pa pa pa!¡± There was thunderous apuse in the hall. Spending 41 million to buy a bracelet for his wife, everyone felt that this director was indeed a little infatuated. Moreover, the bidding process just now had been full of ups and downs, and he had almost lost the bracelet. The smile on the director¡¯s face also softened a little. His heart waspletely settled. He nced at Room 1 with gratitude in his eyes. Zheng Zeyi did not think much of it. The auction for the bracelet was meant for collection. From what he could see, it was better for the bracelet to fall into the hands of thisdy than to be covered in dust. ¡­¡­¡­ The auction continued. At least there was some movement in room one, but Chen zuolin in room two didn¡¯t make a bid from beginning to end. After all, the things were found by their ownpany, so there was no need to do this. The final item also caused a sensation. It was a diamond ne that was once famous in the country. He didn¡¯t expect it to appear at the auction today. Many female guests were fighting to bid for this diamond ne. Compared to the bracelet, the final price was slightly higher, fluctuating around 50 million. However, in joesse¡¯s heart, she still felt that the design of the bracelet was more delicate and exquisite. Finally, the auction was over. ¡°Guests, all the items for today have been sold. The auction will end here!¡± Yan Ling raised her microphone high, and her sweet voice spread to every corner of the auction house. Upon seeing this, joesse also went on stage in her high heels and said a few words. ¡°Thank you all foring to the auction. After the auction, if any CEO feels that star dors has a bright future ... You could havee to me to discuss cooperation, so I won¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time now. ¡± Joes was all smiles. After she finished speaking, she put down the microphone and the guests began to leave the venue. She looked at Yan Ling and praised,¡±¡±You did well this time, all thanks to you.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for Yan Ling¡¯s eloquence, the auction price wouldn¡¯t have been so high. Of course ... Arge part of the reason was because of the auction item. However, it was free to say a few words of praise, so there was no need to be stingy. Hearing Qiao sisi¡¯s words, Yan Ling smiled coquettishly,¡±¡±President Qiao, you¡¯re too kind. If you have such a business next time, you cane to me.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Joes nodded and walked towards the passageway. At this moment, the people from the two private rooms came out. Zheng Zeyi walked in front, and Chen zuolin followed behind as they headed toward the hall. Chapter 185

Chapter 185: I want to discuss a coboration with you

¡°President Zheng, President Chen.¡± The two of them stopped in their tracks when they heard Joes¡¯s voice. Zheng ze¡¯s lips curled up uncontrobly when he thought about the tea earlier, and his attitude became gentler. ¡°President Qiao, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Joesughed.¡±Are you guys ready to go back to thepany now?¡± Chen zuolin nodded slightly. After all, there were still many things to deal with at thepany, so he naturally couldn¡¯t waste too much time. This time, it was he who took the time to participate. However, even if he dide, he did not seem to have received much of a good impression from Joris, as he had been there for half a day. Zheng Zeyi, who had a huge te, frowned and looked at the interaction between Chen zuolin and Qiao sisi with displeasure. ¡°Since you still have something to do,¡± he said after a while,¡±it¡¯s better to leave early. It¡¯s gettingte.¡± With that, Zheng ze nced at the darkening sky with a meaningful look in his eyes. Chen zuolin was silent for a moment after hearing this. His expression was calm, but no one knew what he was thinking. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± This sentence was directed at Jossi. ...... ¡°I¡¯ll send you off,¡±joesse said, nodding. No matter what, she hade to support the auction that was designed and managed by Xing Yuan, so she had to show some sincerity. ¡°No need,¡± The corners of Chen zuolin¡¯s mouth curved up slightly as he strode out of the auction hall with his long legs, leaving only his back. Joesse looked away after taking a nce. Only Zheng ze and her were left in the taxi. ¡°You¡¯re not leaving?¡± Qiao si asked doubtfully. He had been here for so long, it seemed like Zheng Zeyi had been quite free recently. Zheng Zeyi could tell what she was thinking from the look in her eyes. With one hand in his pocket, he said with a deep look in his eyes,¡±¡±What ... Are you chasing me away?¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare if I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched, and her gaze fell on the hall outside. She raised her feet and prepared to walk past Zheng Zeyi. Suddenly, he reached out to stop her. He stared at her, his eyes seemed to contain Starlight. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in the car. Let¡¯s have a chat. ¡± As Zheng Zeyi spoke, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he looked more satisfied. Without waiting for Jossi to react, he turned around and left, walking towards the car park. Have a chat? Joes¡¯s expression turnedplicated. What did he want to talk to her about? It was said that a woman¡¯s heart was like a Needle at the Bottom of the Sea, but now it seemed that men were not inferior to her. They only revealed half of their words and kept half. Barely suppressing the thoughts in her heart, joesse left the corridor. There were many guests gathered in the hall, and they didn¡¯t leave as soon as the auction ended. After all, there were so many CEOs of otherpanies here. Even if they couldmunicate with each other, it would be excellent, not to mention that they might have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Joes walked out of the room. Jiang hai noticed her at once and was about to walk over. He had embarrassed himself so badly at the auction just now. He must get this woman! A sinister smile appeared on Jiang Hai¡¯s wretched face. He quickened his pace but stopped when he saw a person. It was ... President Xu. It was the person who had embarrassed him at the auction and more than doubled the price of the blue-and-white porcin bottle. President Xu was also walking towards Qiao si si. Because of the distance, he was faster than her. As if he had noticed Jiang Hai¡¯s gaze, Chairman Xu smiled at him. ¡°F * ck!¡± Jiang hai cursed under his breath, his heart filled with rage. This kid had his eyes on him! He confirmed this thought in his heart because this President Xu had been like this since the auction. He had also been helping Qiao si si during the banquet. This woman was really promiscuous! Jiang hai spat and red at joesse before leaving the auction house unwillingly. The real estate business of the Jianghai family could notpare to the influence of CEO Xu. If they were to offend him, thepany¡¯s performance would plummet. Although this person was not as good as Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin, to be able to get to where he was today, there was only one word to describe him-ruthless. That was why he had pushed all the me onto Jossi. The key had found an opportunity, so don¡¯t me him for going overboard. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Boss Xu, you were looking for me?¡± Shock shed across Joes¡¯s eyes as she looked at President Xu with curiosity. She didn¡¯t expect that this person would actually look for her. When he heard that, President Xu nodded his head slightly. Seeing Jiang Hai¡¯s back as he left the auction house, he felt a little more satisfied. ¡°It¡¯s like this, President Qiao,¡± he said.¡±I want to talk to you about a cooperation. I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re interested.¡± ¡°Cooperation?¡± Joes¡¯s expression changed slightly as she became curious. She asked,¡±¡±What kind of cooperation are you talking about, boss Xu?¡± Xingyuan design had just started and had not touched on other aspects. At the moment, it was jewelry design. Since President Xu said that he wanted to work with her, it should be in this area. Sure enough, the next moment, President Xu gave an answer. ¡°Ourpany is having a fashion show in a few days. We¡¯ve found a partner in terms of clothing, and now we¡¯re selling essories and jewelry.¡± President Xu smiled. At this point, he paused and added,¡±¡±It¡¯s true that Xing Yuan is a newpany, but I think President Qiao is a good person and very capable. You can tell from this auction, or I wouldn¡¯t havee to work with you. I wonder if President Qiao is interested?¡± After saying that, Joes fell into a short silence. What followed was a burst of joy. She had caught the main point in President Xu¡¯s words, which was the fashion show. The Xu family¡¯spany was involved in many aspects, but because of the good quality of their products, they had a good reputation. This fashion show was an opportunity. If Xing Yuan design was up to the task, it could also be used to make a name for itself. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s heart burned with passion. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Boss Xu, you¡¯re saying this because you think highly of my ability. I wonder when boss Xu will have time to discuss the cooperation in detail. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go to Xingyuan design to find you, how about it?¡± President Xu raised his eyebrows. ¡°Sure.¡± Joes smiled. The two of them stood there and chatted for a while before President Xu left the auction. By then, most of the guests had already left. After everyone had left, joesse then instructed the staff to clean up the auction hall. ¡°President, are we going back to Xing Yuan design now?¡± Millie asked. That was because joesse had booked a celebration party and brought the employees of Xing Yuan design to have a meal. The private rooms had already been booked, and it was almost time to go. Chapter 186

Chapter 186: His granddaughter-inw ising to see him

Joes looked at the time. The auction had been going on for more than two hours, and it was now Sixo¡¯ clock. Before she left, she arranged a celebration party for thepany¡¯s people. Thinking of this, she said,¡±okay, I¡¯ll go right away. You go back to thepany and take them there first. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie nodded slightly. With that, Qiao sisi walked towards the car park outside. Zheng Zeyi had said that he had something to discuss with her. Although the two of them didn¡¯t have any emotional rtionship now, they might have a business partnership. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± The sound of knocking on the car window was heard, and the car window was rolled down. Qiao si looked over and saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side profile. He was handsome and wless. She cleared her throat, suppressed the strange feeling, and asked,¡±¡±President Zheng, you said you wanted to have a chat with me. May I know what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction when he heard Qiao SI¡¯s polite words. However, he calmed down after a while and said,¡±¡±Do you have time tomorrow?¡± Tomorrow? ...... Joes thought for a moment.¡±There should be. If there¡¯s anything, you can tell me directly.¡± Thepany had gradually stabilized these few days, and she had less work to do. She was not as busy as she had been a few days ago. It was easy to squeeze out some time. ¡°My grandfather wants to see you.¡± Zheng Zeyi threw out a bombshell. Joes was stunned, but old master Zheng¡¯s familiar figure appeared in her mind. He had a kind and kind look on his face. They had not seen each other for a year, and she wondered how Zheng Zeyi had managed to hide this from old master Zheng. At the thought of old master Zheng, Joes did not know why she felt a little guilty. She straightened her face and pretended to be calm. ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯ve already exined things to Grandpa Zheng, right? I think ... We won¡¯t have any special rtionship in the future. It¡¯s best if we don¡¯t meet again, in case Grandpa Zheng misunderstands something again. That wouldn¡¯t be good. ¡± Joes hardened her heart and finally said these words. Zheng Zeyi was silent for two seconds before he looked up at him and said in a calm tone,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t tell my grandfather about this. I only told him that you went overseas for training. He hasn¡¯t been in good health recently and is recuperating in the hospital, so I want to ask for your help. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was very serious, and he did not seem to be lying. ¡°Grandpa Zheng is in the hospital?¡± Joes ¡®tone was one of shock as she furrowed her brows tightly. After the shock, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little worried. Was the kind old man in her impression also in the hospital because of his health? It was no wonder that Zheng Zeyi was unwilling to mention this to old master Zheng. He was probably worried that old master Zheng would not be well. At this moment, joesse automatically started to find an excuse for Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true. I don¡¯t know how much longer my grandfather can hold on.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked much more Haggard in an instant. After all, her grandfather¡¯s health was not good, so it was natural to be worried. Looking at him in this state, joesse¡¯s emotions became even moreplicated. ¡°But we can¡¯t keep it a secret forever. Grandpa Zheng will find out the truth one day.¡± Zheng Zeyiughed bitterly and helplessly. ¡°He has too many internal injuries. Even if he¡¯s in the best hospital, it¡¯s barely enough. I just don¡¯t want him to know that his previous granddaughter-inw was fake before he leaves.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng ze lowered his eyes and looked extremely dejected. He was no longer in high spirits. Joes¡¯s heart felt as if it was being tugged at. She was in a dilemma and did not know what choice she should make. Grandpa Zheng ... After thinking for a long time, Joes gritted her teeth. Forget it, isn¡¯t it just continuing to pretend to be an engaged couple? He had already pretended in the past, so there was no need to resist now. Moreover, she was only pretending in front of old master Zheng. To the outside world, Joes was still the CEO of Xing Yuan design and had nothing to do with Zheng Zeyi. She made a decision in her heart and asked,¡±¡±I promise to meet Grandpa Zheng tomorrow, but ...¡± At this point, Joes changed the topic,¡±¡±You have to promise me that you¡¯ll only pretend in front of Grandpa Zheng and that we won¡¯t have any rtionship with the outside world.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi agreed without any hesitation. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, but it was because the shadow had covered him. He did not care whether he made it public or not. The main thing was that if Joes agreed, it would be a huge step forward. Seeing that he had agreed so quickly, joesse thought that he was just concerned about old man Zheng and did not think too much about it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll pick you up at thepany tomorrow. How about that?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips moved and he spat out a few words. If he came to Xing Yuan design to pick up people, thepany¡¯s people would probably see it and he might be able to take another step forward. President Zheng had also spent a lot of effort on the long road of chasing his wife. ¡°No need,¡± However, Jossi rejected him decisively.¡±I¡¯ll go to yourpany to look for you tomorrow. I know the location. We¡¯ll go and visit Grandpa Zheng together then.¡± She wasn¡¯t a fool. If she went to thepany to pick him up, it would definitely cause a misunderstanding. After what happened a year ago, joesse knew how scary public opinion could be. It was best to control it. ¡°Sure.¡± Zheng Zeyi also agreed rather generously. Looking at the darkening sky, Joes retracted her gaze and said,¡±¡±I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Thepany¡¯s celebration party was about to start. If they dyed too long, it would be toote to get there. Zheng Zeyi was well-informed, so he naturally knew about this. ¡°Go on.¡± There was a devilish smile on his lips as he looked at the back of Joes¡¯s graceful figure. He walked straight to the car until it left the parking lot. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze fell on assistant li, who was in front of him, and he said calmly,¡±¡±Inform the old masterter. Tell him ... That his granddaughter-inw ising to see him tomorrow.¡± As he finished, the curve of his lips widened. Feeling that the atmosphere in the car was different from before, assistant li was stunned and quickly responded,¡±¡±Yes, President.¡± Then, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the president had fallen into the hands of President Qiao. In all these years, when had he ever cared so much about a person? On the other side. ¡°Achoo!¡± Old master Zheng couldn¡¯t help but sneeze and touch his nose. He had a bad feeling about this. Why did he feel like someone was talking bad about him behind his back? After thinking for a long time, old master Zheng still couldn¡¯t figure out who this person was. It was probably just his illusion. Old master Zheng continued to read the book in his hand. No matter how he racked his brain, he would never think that his grandson was the one who was talking bad about him. Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Do you need my help?

Furthermore, he had even described old master Zheng as a dying man just to chase after his wife. If he had known, old master Zheng would not have been so calm. ¡­¡­¡­ The Royal Restaurant. This was the restaurant¡¯s private room that joesse had reserved. Although the price was not cheap, they could not be too calctive since it was a celebration party. This was also to celebrate the sessful conclusion of the auction and thepany¡¯s finally getting on track. This was all thanks to the help of thepany¡¯s employees. After joesse parked the car, she entered the restaurant, found the private room number in her memory, and entered. The private room was already filled with people, and the dishes had already been served. There was a seat in the middle that seemed to have been reserved for her. Looking at the person who came, Miley and the others in the room quickly stood up and said respectfully,¡±¡±President.¡± Joes shook her head slightly,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to be so polite. It¡¯s time to get off work, and it¡¯s a party. Just treat me like a friend, there¡¯s no need to feel so much pressure. ¡± ...... After saying this, everyone also rxed a little. Joes went to her seat and sat down. She smiled as she looked at the noisy crowd and the clinking of wine sses. At that moment, Lin ya suddenly raised her ss and said,¡±¡±Sisi, let me toast you.¡± She had a sweet smile on her face and her eyes were filled with gratitude. Joes also picked up her own ss. The liquid in the ss was bright red and had a rich aroma. It was a high-quality red wine. ¡°Sisi, if it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t havee to such a goodpany like Xing Yuan. I must give you a toast!¡± Lin ya¡¯s face was determined. After she finished speaking, she raised her head and drank the red wine in her ss in one go. Jossiughed.¡±It¡¯s not me. You¡¯ve helped me so much in the past.¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t.¡± Lin ya touched her nose in embarrassment. Not only her, even Wang Li was toasting to joesse. It seemed like she had adapted well to the star Yuan environment. The two of them were very capable, but in Shiyu, there were many things that they didn¡¯t have a chance to do. Now that the president of Xing Yuan design was Qiao sisi, she naturally understood what Lin ya and Wang Li were capable of. Therefore, the positions arranged were also the most suitable. The two of them entered Xing Yuan and were like fish in water. Perhaps it was because of this incident that the burden on the others was much greater. They all toasted Joes, but she was unable to stop them. However, she did not drink much and it was still within her tolerance. Qiao si si did not touch the food on the table. Most of the food was taken care of by Lin ya and another boy, Lin Hai, who she had previously thought was quite capable. The more Joes looked, the more she felt that something was amiss. She asked,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, why do I feel that you look a little like Lin Hai?¡± She was sure that this was not an illusion. Moreover, after the incident at the bar with Anna Chen, Joes¡¯s alcohol tolerance had been trained. As long as he didn¡¯t go beyond that limit, he basically wouldn¡¯t feel drunk, unless he was particrly tired. Lin ya was stunned for a moment. The next second, she pped her thigh and said with some annoyance,¡±¡±Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Lin Hai ... He¡¯s my brother. I didn¡¯t expect to be in the samepany as him. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the entire ce fell silent. Even the other employees in thepany were shocked, let alone joesse. These two people were actually brother and sister? The difference in their personalities was a little too big. Lin ya¡¯s personality was more active and she was particrly lively. But Hai Lin was different. He was more of an elite, simple and concise, but very capable. The only simrity they shared with Lin ya was that they both loved to eat. The corners of Joes ¡®mouth twitched, and her hand that was holding the ss of red wine froze in mid-air.¡±I really didn¡¯t expect this.¡± He had been in thepany for so many days and no one had discovered this? It was also because the difference was too great that it almost didn¡¯t attract everyone¡¯s attention, and no one asked at all. At this moment, a girl in thepany asked,¡±¡±Lin ya, you¡¯re nothing like your brother.¡± Wang Li nodded in agreement and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Lin ya waved her hand indifferently.¡±¡±What¡¯s the use of being the same? everyone is born unique. ¡± After she finished speaking, she continued to sweep the dishes on the table. Lin Hai was also very calm. The two of them were very simr in this aspect. Joes smiled. Lin ya was right. Everyone was born unique. After that, everyone became more rxed after drinking, and the table was filled with joy and harmony. Everyone was in high spirits and were looking forward to the future of Xing Yuan¡¯s design. Xu Hai from the Human Resources Department even said that he would keep an eye on them in the future and would not let go of any talent. He would absorb them into thepany. Everyoneughed at his boastful words and waited for his future achievements. Upon seeing this, joesse¡¯s mood could not help but improve. She had wanted to have another ss of red wine, but there were only a few empty bottles left on the table. It seemed that he had to go to the front desk to get some more. Just as Joes stood up and was about to leave, Millie stood up as well.¡±¡±President, I¡¯ll go get it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Joes pressed down on Millie¡¯s shoulder and made her sit on the chair.¡±¡±I¡¯ll go, it¡¯s not a big deal. ¡± Since she said so, Millie didn¡¯t insist and nodded. There were quite a lot of people in the Royal Restaurant today. Not only were the private rooms full, but even the outside was full. Joes went to the front desk to get a few bottles of expensive red wine and settled the bill. ¡°Customer, do you need my help?¡± The front desk staff asked kindly. As Joes was holding two to three bottles of red wine in her hands, she was worried that she might drop them on the floor. The other few bottles were in the hands of a waiter. After all, Joes could not carry so many bottles. Hearing that, Jossi smiled and looked at her.¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. ¡± She wasn¡¯t so bad that she couldn¡¯t even carry three bottles of red wine. Then, she walked towards the private room with the waiter. There was no one in the corridor. Joes thought that she would be able to return to the private room without a hitch, but something unexpected happened. A woman in a red and ck coat came up to him. Her makeup was gorgeous, and even her walking posture was quite flirtatious. Joes did not know her, so she naturally did not think too much about it and continued walking. However, just as the two of them were about to brush past each other, the woman suddenly changed her position and ruthlessly crashed into Joes. ¡°Bang!¡± It was the sound of a bottle of red wine falling to the ground. The bottle instantly shattered into ss shards, and red liquid spread out. Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Should Ipensate?

Even Joes was knocked against the wall and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. ¡°Hiss ...¡± Joes took in a deep breath and furrowed her brows tightly. She was still holding onto the two remaining bottles of red wine. The bottle was supposed to be in his arms, but because of the impact, he couldn¡¯t hold it steadily and it fell to the ground. She looked up and saw a smug look on the face of the woman who I had deliberately bumped into. Her coat was stained with red wine. ¡°What are you doing!¡± The woman preempted him. Her sharp voice was filled with strength as she pointed at her coat in disbelief. ¡°You actually spilled red wine on me. Do you know how expensive my clothes are?!¡± The woman¡¯s tone was overbearing, and she looked at Joes with a hint of jealousy. An unexpected disaster! Joes squinted her eyes slightly, and a wave of anger surged in her heart. She was not a Ninja Turtle, so why should she endure it? As she thought of this, she passed the bottle of red wine in her hand to the waiter in front of her, who was suddenly a little stunned. The waiter was stillpletely confused about the situation. After all, the distance between the two of them just now was still very far. ...... He didn¡¯t expect that in the blink of an eye, they would actually crash into each other. Joes gently massaged her shoulders and looked at the woman with a sharp gaze.¡±¡±I hit you? Are you preparing to scam me?¡± The two of them had no connection at all, so she really couldn¡¯t understand why this woman would do this. ¡°Bah!¡± The woman spat on the ground and said angrily,¡±¡±I¡¯m ckmailing you? Look at the red wine on my clothes, can it be washed off? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you can¡¯t walk, would you have bumped into me? I don¡¯t care, you have topensate me for my losses. ¡± The woman then added,¡±¡±Besides, my clothes are very expensive. Plus, you have to pay me 10000 Yuan for my emotional damage!¡± Ten thousand Yuan? Upon hearing this amount, joesse was so angry that sheughed. This guy really had his eyes on her and was prepared to scam her. Themotion in the corridor was quite loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of many customers in the restaurant. All of a sudden, the corridor became lively. The surrounding crowd whispered and discussed what had happened. When the waiter saw that things were not going well, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd with the red wine and walked to the front desk. She had to tell the manager about this, in case things got worse and it would affect the reputation of the restaurant. ¡°Compensation? Sure, but I¡¯d like to ask you something. I was walking on the road, so why did you suddenly bump into me?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were sharp, as if she could see through everything. When their eyes met, the woman looked away slightly, as if she didn¡¯t want to look at her. Then, she swept her gaze across the crowd. After seeing so many people, she felt that there might be hope in demandingpensation. At the thought of this, the woman put her hands on her hips and said in a shrill voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t talk so much. You¡¯ve dirtied my clothes. I want you topensate me. It¡¯s as simple as that. The corridor is only this big, why would I intentionally bump into you?¡± Very good, the viinined first, but he did have some manners. Before Jossi could say anything, a female voice echoed from the crowd,¡±¡±I think this youngdy is right. Since you¡¯re the one who bumped into her and dirtied a piece of clothing that cost so much money, you have topensate. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be a mess?¡± It was unknown who said this, but it resonated with many people. ¡°That makes sense.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s better to wait and see. The two of them have different arguments. Who knows who¡¯s right and who¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Sigh, I also think that what that girl said makes sense.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ There were also some reasonable people, and many of them maintained a wait-and-see attitude. After hearing those words, Joes subconsciously looked towards the crowd, trying to find the woman who had spoken first. However, he couldn¡¯t find it at all.? She frowned and was about to look away when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman in a trench coat pulling down her hat. Not only that, but he also gave her a familiar feeling. It was a pity that they were too far away, or else Joes would definitely know who was behind this. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking? feeling guilty?¡± Seeing this, the woman¡¯s arrogance grew. Jossi could not help but sneer when she saw her smug look. ¡°The waitress just now has already gone to look for the manager. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll know who¡¯s right and who¡¯s wrong soon.¡± She had not forgotten that this Royal Restaurant was simr to the one she hade to eat at. Hence, Joes decided to use the simplest method, which was to monitor. Often, what was recorded on the screen was the most real in the eyes of the public, and the truth would be revealed at that time. The woman sneered in disdain.¡±Tsk, I¡¯m just afraid now, so I¡¯m waiting for the manager to deal with it. Alright, then let¡¯s wait and see. I¡¯d like to see what¡¯s the reason for you notpensating me for dirtying my expensive clothes. ¡± Joes looked at her coldly. She did not know where her confidence came from, as though she had someone backing her up. The crowd¡¯s discussion was getting louder and louder, and she could almost hear everything clearly. Many of those who had been observing the situation changed their minds at thest minute and felt that what the woman said was true. Otherwise, why did Joes not say anything earlier? ¡°Ha ...¡± The corners of Joes ¡®lips curled up slightly. She was just toozy to talk to people who used such methods. After a short while, the waiter brought the way to the restaurant. The manager walked with a swagger. When he heard that the two guests had a dispute, he rushed over in a hurry. ¡°Excuse me, this is the manager.¡± The waiter said loudly. The crowd also made way for the restaurant manager to enter. When the manager saw Joes and the woman, as well as the broken red wine bottle on the ground, he could not help but frown. ¡°Ladies, may I ask what happened just now?¡± he asked. When the waiter went to look for him, he only gave him a rough idea because he was anxious. The woman did not give Jossi a chance to speak and said decisively,¡±¡±Manager, you have to make a good decision on this matter. I was walking on the road just now. I was fine, but this woman with red wine suddenly came and bumped into me. ¡± After saying that, the woman pointed at her clothes, exposing the clear red wine stain to everyone. ¡°Look, this is red wine. Not only did she hit me, but she also dirtied my clothes, which cost me a few thousand. Don¡¯t you think she shouldpensate me?¡± Faced with the woman¡¯s aggressive tone, the manager was stunned for a moment and looked embarrassed. Chapter 189

Chapter 189: A huge melon

At that moment, the manager gritted his teeth and looked at joesse, who was beside him, and asked,¡±¡±Miss, is this what happened?¡± After all, it was only that woman¡¯s side of the story. If he wanted to ask, he had to ask both of them clearly. Upon hearing that, Jossi nced at the woman indifferently. She smiled.¡±Manager, I was walking perfectly fine. She hit me on purpose. I even hit the wall.¡± After saying that, Joes¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°This ...¡± The manager frowned. The two sides ¡®arguments werepletely different, and at this time, they really didn¡¯t know which side was right. They all seemed to be guests who couldn¡¯t be offended, which was really difficult. The woman still looked fearless, and even looked at her with a bit of provocation. With a coldugh, Joes said,¡±¡±By the way, manager, there should be surveince cameras in this kind of corridor, right? We¡¯ll know who¡¯s telling the truth by looking at the surveince cameras. ¡± The woman¡¯s face stiffened for a moment. The crowd also came to a sudden realization that there were surveince cameras in the Royal Restaurant. ...... ¡°Yeah, I almost forgot about the surveince cameras.¡± ¡°Thisdy doesn¡¯t look afraid at all. She even took the initiative to ask for the surveince footage. She should be innocent, right?¡± ¡°Who knows?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The crowd exploded and began to discuss the issue of the surveince camera. Joes was very familiar with the use of surveince cameras. Xiaomei was exposed because of thisst time. Since there was a more convenient way, there was no need to look for trouble. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the manager¡¯s expression turned awkward as he nced at joesse. Then, he sighed and said,¡±¡±Miss, it¡¯s like this. The surveince cameras in this corridor just happened to be broken. So, I don¡¯t think your idea of checking the surveince cameras will work. ¡± After saying that, he pointed to a seat on the upper right corner. Jossi frowned and looked in the direction the manager was pointing at. Indeed, she saw a broken surveince camera. It was actually broken? Joes had not expected this. It seemed like this method would not work anytime soon. ¡°You¡¯re really going to make meugh my head off. You even mentioned the surveince cameras. I say ... You didn¡¯t break the surveince cameras, did you?¡± A smug smile appeared on the woman¡¯s heavily made-up face, and the panic she had earlier hadpletely disappeared. The surveince cameras were broken, so what was there for her to be afraid of? Joes could not help but sneer,¡±¡±I just didn¡¯t think it would be such a coincidence. Even if the surveince device is broken, I have other ways to prove it. Don¡¯t be so smug yet. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she nced at the woman in the crowd. The woman with the brim hat had hidden her entire face in the hat, and it was impossible to see it clearly. However, the figure looked a little familiar. He didn¡¯t know which person he had seen before. Jossi retracted her thoughts and heard the woman in front of her say aggressively,¡±¡±Ha ... I¡¯d like to see what kind of evidence you can produce.¡± Most of the people in the crowd felt that she was right, but Jossi was lying. This gave the woman an inexplicable confidence. The manager looked troubled, but he had his own ns. After a moment, he said,¡±¡±Miss, do you have any way to prove it?¡± ¡°A lot of them.¡± Joes revealed a faint smile. After saying that, she kicked the broken pieces of the red wine bottle on the ground.¡±¡±You can look at thebel on this bottle of red wine. It¡¯s a ¡® 76 red wine, the normal price ... I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t need me to state it out loud. ¡± It was at least 1000 Yuan, or even 10000 Yuan. The crowd was very clear about this. After all, he hade to the Royal Restaurant to eat, so he more or less knew something about it. To be able to afford such an expensive bottle of red wine, he definitely did notck money. This was what everyone was thinking. But ... Why did he hit someone? At this point, there were still very few people who were willing to believe joesse. After all, the red wine stain on that woman¡¯s clothes was real. Scanning her surroundings, Joes took in everyone¡¯s expressions. Then, she went to the woman¡¯s side, forcing the woman to take a step back.¡±¡±You ... What are you doing?¡± The woman frowned and took two or three steps back before she stopped. After all, Joes¡¯s eyes were too sharp, and she had nowhere to hide. ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m just borrowing your clothes to take a look.¡± Joes¡¯s smile was sweet. Since this woman insisted on saying that she had hit her, it was not impossible for her topensate her. However, thepensation was based on the value. ¡°I canpensate you for your loss, but please take off your jacket. After youpensate me, the jacket is mine.¡± Joes said with a sharp tone. Hearing this, the woman¡¯s eyes lit up and she quickly grabbed Joes and asked,¡±¡±Are you telling the truth?¡± Her nails were very sharp, and Jossi¡¯s hand was in pain. ¡°It¡¯s true. ¡± After saying this indifferently, Joes shook off her hand without a sound and stood in front of her. The woman was relieved. Without further dy, she took off her red coat, revealing the beautiful sweater inside. She handed the coat to Jessi, her expression even more smug.¡±¡±Ten thousand Yuan, not a single cent less.¡± The crowd was a little confused, not understanding why Joes suddenly wanted topensate them. The manager also watched silently from the side and did not say anything at first. Joes observed the red coat for a moment. After seeing the logo, her smile deepened. As expected, she was right. This way, things would be much easier. ¡°Sure, as you said, as long as you really bought this coat for 10000 Yuan, I have no problempensating you.¡± The coat in Joes ¡®hands was also exposed to everyone¡¯s eyes. When the woman heard this, she felt a sense of panic. Could it be that ... This B * tch had discovered that the dress was fake? That was impossible! The woman rejected her own idea. How could she have found out? this was a fake and no different from the real thing. She looked at Joes with a flustered expression, but she forced herself to remain calm. The crowd watched quietly from the side. Just when everyone thought that Joes was really going topensate them, sheughed coldly and said,¡±¡±Your clothes are only worth 300 yuan at most. You¡¯re lying to me that you bought a fake coat for more than ten thousand Yuan. Do you really think I¡¯ve never seen it before?¡± As soon as he said that, the people around him were shocked. What a huge melon! Chapter 190

Chapter 190: At most three hundred Yuan

They had no idea that the dress was not from a famous brand at all. It was just a fake. The woman¡¯s expression changed. Her eyes flickered, but she did not dare to look at Joes directly.¡±What are you saying? my clothes are real.¡± After saying that, the woman seemed to have thought of a reason and quickly said to the crowd,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be fooled by her! My clothes are real. She¡¯s only saying this to reduce the amount ofpensation. ¡± In this case, it made sense. The crowd of onlookers came to a sudden realization, as if they had suddenly understood the reason behind Joes ¡®actions. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ...¡± ¡°If she didn¡¯t tell me, I might really have been tricked.¡± ¡°You guys really believe everything others say.¡± As the chattering of discussion reached her ears, Joes raised her brows slightly. Then, she pointed to the logo on the clothes and said,¡±¡±Whether it¡¯s true or not, there will naturally be people who can see it. Your logo looks like a coat from the Hua ¡®er family, but there¡¯s one thing that¡¯spletely different. ¡± ...... Towards the end, joesse¡¯s tone became heavier. She was certain that there was someone behind this woman who was giving her orders. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to fight over this matter since they had no grudges and did not even know each other. The reason why Joes thought this way was because she saw a familiar figure in the crowd. He couldn¡¯t remember it earlier, but he remembered it now. That figure was none other than Xiaomei, whom he had seen at the banquet a few days ago. She had even locked her in the washroom out of jealousy. It was impossible for Joes to forget about this matter. By the time she remembered, she had already surfaced. ¡°You¡¯re ndering me by saying that my clothes are fake? Where is it? tell me!¡± The woman was arrogant. It waspletely different, as if she had never seen it. The woman¡¯s eyes revealed a touch of viciousness. The counterfeit she knew of was extremely exquisite, and there was almost no difference. But now, Joes actually said that she had found apletely different ce. In the eyes of women, he was just boasting. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Joes, waiting to see what she would say. Joes smiled and flipped the inside of the coat out. She pointed at the neckline, revealing a few lines. In addition, the pattern on the logo was also a little strange. Because he was sitting inside, no one would notice him when he was wearing a coat. However, as long as one observed it carefully, they would be able to see the difference. After all, it was a counterfeit. If he could really create an identical one, he would rather spend money and energy to create his own brand. There were some shorings in forging. ¡°You can see that the logo of the Hua ¡®er family¡¯s clothes is a small five-petal flower. There¡¯s also a very detailed ce. There should be very few people who would notice it, and that is the color of the pistil. Usually, there are only two colors, blue and purple. ¡± Joes exined clearly, word for word. It also brought everyone into her thoughts, and a huge blueprint appeared in front of her. ncing at the flustered woman, Joes pretended not to notice and continued,¡±¡±But this stamen is indeed green. Although it¡¯s very small and almost invisible if you don¡¯t pay attention, you¡¯ll know the news if you go to the Hua ¡®er family¡¯s specialty store and ask. ¡± Hua ¡®er¡¯s family was a famous luxury clothing store. The average spending in a specialty store was almost two thousand Yuan. Besides, if the woman¡¯s red coat was really a product of the Hua ¡®er family, it would be normal for it to cost ten thousand Yuan. Unfortunately ... It was only an imitation. After hearing this, the crowd¡¯s eyes lit up. After all, they had heard of the Hua ¡®er family brand. And most of the women liked to visit this clothing store. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! How can you prove that what you said is true? Mine is the real deal!¡± The woman swallowed her saliva and quickly said. Now, it was already toote to stop. ¡°Proof?¡± Jossi raised her eyebrows and took out her phone to type in a URL. It was the Hua ¡®er family¡¯s official website. ¡°This is the official website. It¡¯s also said so. Whether it¡¯s true or not, you can log in and see for yourself.¡± Joes¡¯s expression was calm and unflustered as she cleverly resolved the issue ofpensation. He wanted to take her money? That would depend on whether he was qualified or not. ¡°You!¡± The woman was extremely angry. She couldn¡¯t help but look at the crowd for help, but the person who had spoken up for her had long disappeared. He probably ran away when he saw that the situation wasn¡¯t right. Thinking of this, the woman¡¯s face turned red and somewhat distorted. The thick makeup on her face made people not want to look at her. For a long time, she couldn¡¯t say a single word to defend herself. After all, the truth had already been proven, so there was nothing more to say. In the crowd, one person couldn¡¯t help but p his thigh and said in realization,¡±¡±I¡¯ve bought clothes from the Hua ¡®er family before, and it does look like that!¡± The other people also agreed. ¡°That¡¯s right, I almost forgot about that. I don¡¯t think the person who made the imitation would care about such details.¡± ¡°Bah, you¡¯re pretending to be the real thing with a fake coat. You even deliberately hit someone to ask forpensation.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t want any face at all!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The situation could be said to be one-sided, but they were all leaning towards Joes ¡®side. With the evidenceid down, they really couldn¡¯t continue to lie with their eyes open. It was as if the matter of standing on the wrong side had never happened. ¡°You! You¡¯re ruthless!¡± When the woman saw this, she knew that she had no hope of turning the tables. She red at Joes. After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave, not even taking her coat. However, just as the woman was about to leave, the manager blocked her way with a polite smile on his face. A voice came from behind him,¡±your clothes are at most 300 yuan. I canpensate you.¡± However, the bottles of red wine that you broke cost at least 20000 Yuan. Tell me, what should we do?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were cold, and the broken pieces of the red wine bottle on the ground were seen by everyone. A red wine that cost tens of thousands of Yuan was actually ruined by this woman. She could not take this lying down. ¡°ording to the rules, miss, you have topensate for the red wine,¡± the manager said with a smile. Chapter 191 - A rare opportunity

Chapter 191: A rare opportunity

It was not just Jossi and the manager, even the crowd started to condemn that woman. It was as if she wouldn¡¯t be able to walk out of the restaurant today if she didn¡¯tpensate. The woman¡¯s face paled in an instant. Hatred surged in her heart, and she wanted to tear josis apart. 30,000 Yuan ... That B * tch really dared to say that. However, if he didn¡¯t hand it over, he might even be invited to the guard post for tea. This was something he absolutely couldn ¡®t. ¡°I¡¯llpensate you, you overbearing B * tch ...¡±The woman gritted her teeth and turned her head. ¡°Pa!¡± The next moment, the crisp sound of a p was heard. Joes shook her hand and sneered,¡±¡±You still want to curse? Now that the truth is out, you¡¯re still so arrogant. You¡¯re really confident. ¡± ¡°You, you actually dare to hit me!¡± The woman gasped and covered her red and swollen face. ¡°I¡¯m hitting you. If you want another p, just say one more word. ¡± Joes squinted her eyes, which glowed with a cold light. Compared to the past, he was much stronger. ...... This woman was willing to do such a thing for Xiaomei, so she could not me Joes for being heartless. The surrounding crowd also exploded. This was a physical attack that had started from verbal attacks. ¡°I ... I ... You¡¯re too much!¡± The woman was filled with hatred, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. She gritted her teeth and could only swallow it. She would let it go this time, but next time, she would not let her meet this B * tch again. The manager was a little shocked as he watched from the side. This customer¡¯s methods were a little too strong. But that¡¯s right. If he wasn¡¯t strong enough, he would have been scammed of more than 10000 Yuan by this person. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry to leave, pay thepensation first. ¡± Joes said unhurriedly. She had all the time in the world. Since this woman wanted to waste time, she would of course keep herpany. More than 30000 Yuan ... The woman gritted her teeth, but she had no choice. The manager of the restaurant was watching her closely. She had no choice but to transfer the money to Joes. When she did the transfer, she felt as if her heart was bleeding. After admiring the woman¡¯s pained expression, Joes nodded her head in satisfaction. ¡°I can leave now, right?¡± The woman said fiercely, the veins on her hands clearly visible. ¡°Take care, I won¡¯t send you off,¡± Joes nodded. After saying that, the woman left the restaurant in a fit of anger, not even looking back. She probably didn¡¯t want to see it either. After all, she had lost 30000 Yuan here. ¡°Young miss, you¡¯re amazing.¡± The manager¡¯s mouth twitched and he said in admiration. He hade to deal with this matter, but now he realized that he had not been of any help. ¡°It¡¯s alright. ¡± Joesughed. After that, the waiter also squeezed in and dispersed the crowd. It was really impossible to pass through. ¡°Let¡¯s go, everyone. ¡± The crowd of onlookers left reluctantly. They recalled what had happened just now and still wanted to continue. Joes nced at the broken pieces of the red wine bottle on the floor. Just as she was about to speak, the manager suddenly beat her to it. ¡°Miss, don¡¯t worry. Leave the broken pieces to me. As an apology, I¡¯ll ask the waiter to send a few bottles of red wine overter.¡± The manager had a smile on his face, and no one could find any fault in his way of doing things. Joesse also smiled.¡±Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you. I¡¯ll return to the room first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After she finished speaking, joesse turned around and returned to the room. The manager looked at her back view, still in admiration. As the waiter cleaned up the debris on the floor, he couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Manager, why do you keep looking over there?¡± ¡°I think I remember. This should be the president of a newpany. That woman just now was really bold. She actually tried to scam a strong woman in the industry. ¡± The manager clicked his tongue in wonder. If he knew that the woman had done this on Xiaomei¡¯s orders, he would be even more surprised. ¡­¡­¡­ In the private room. Joes pushed the door open and entered, holding the few bottles of red wine that the waiter had left behind. Seeing her return, Lin ya quickly stood up and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, where did you go just now? Why did you take so long?¡± It had been almost 20 minutes since they had arrived. Even if he had taken a lot of red wine, it wouldn¡¯t have taken so long. Jossi smiled.¡±I had something to do just now. That¡¯s why I¡¯m a littlete. Don¡¯t worry.¡± She then ced a few bottles of red wine on the table. It was all fine red wine. After all, the celebration party was not held all the time, so it was naturally easier to organize. Moreover, thepany¡¯s business had been busy these days, and everyone must have been in a state of overtime often. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I thought something bad had happened.¡± Lin ya heaved a sigh of relief and returned to her seat. At this moment, a girlughed and said,¡±¡±What can happen in the restaurant? besides, it¡¯s President Qiao. Don¡¯t worry.¡± With a few new bottles of red wine, the atmosphere became lively again. This time, everyone drank to their heart¡¯s content. Joes sat by the side and watched, her smile deepening. These were the mainstays of Xing Yuan¡¯s design. At about seven or eighto¡¯ clock in the evening, the celebration party was announced to be over. Many girls who couldn¡¯t hold their liquor were drunk, including Lin ya, who was the worst. She was so drunk that she almost passed out. Fortunately, her brother, Lin Hai, was here to help her send it home. The others also had their family members or boyfriends to pick them up, and none of them needed joesse to send them off. Jossi shook her head helplessly as she watched the employees leave. Millie didn¡¯t drink much, and she had a good tolerance for alcohol, so she was the only one who hadn¡¯t left. ¡°President, I¡¯ll take my leave too.¡± Miley smiled at Joes and was about to g down a taxi. Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly. Then, she suddenly remembered something. It was about the coboration in the fashion show that President Xu had mentioned. Although he had not seen a shadow yet, since the other party had said so, he must have the intention to cooperate. ¡°By the way, Miley, pay attention to one thing these few days. If I¡¯m not around, quickly send me a message to inform me. The fashion show is a rare opportunity, we can¡¯t miss it. ¡± Joes understood that this auction had helped star Yuan design gain some fame. However, that was only in the upper-ss society, where people had the ability to buy high-end jewelry. In front of the public, star dors was still a small, unknownpany. Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Where to find a second one

Therefore, he had to seize this opportunity to do a fashion show. If the confrontation was used properly, it could increase Xing Yuan¡¯s umted reputation, and it might also increase his business. Millie¡¯s eyes brightened up.¡±¡±Yes, President. I¡¯ll contact you directly when the timees.¡± It seemed that Chen zuolin had his reasons for sending her to Xingyuan design. However, he wasn¡¯t as clueless as a newbie. Instead, he knew how to promote thepany and make it bigger and better. At this moment, Miley was full of expectations for thepany¡¯s future. ¡°Well, you don¡¯t have to call a taxi. I¡¯ll send you home.¡± Joes was in an extremely good mood. ¡°President?¡± Miley blinked her eyes.¡±Isn¡¯t that a little inappropriate?¡± If it was a male CEO, she might have rejected him. However, Jossi was a girl, so there was no need for that. As if she could read Millie¡¯s mind, Joes raised her eyebrows slightly.¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing wrong with that. Get in the car. ¡± ¡°Alright, then.¡± Millie nodded. After that, Joes drove Millie back to her house and returned to Anna Chen¡¯s apartment. The apartment was still brightly lit. ...... Just as Joes opened the door with her key, she saw Chen Anna looking at her. She smiled and said,¡±¡±How was the auction this time?¡± She was also clear about the matter, and Joes did not hide anything. That was why Chen Anna asked about it as soon as she got home. Joes changed into a pair of White Rabbit Cotton Slippers, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she said in a happy mood,¡±¡±It¡¯s pretty good. I didn¡¯t let you down. It¡¯s a perfect ending.¡± In today¡¯s auction, not a single item was left unsold. This was the best harvest. Not only that, but most of the auction items were also at a premium, with the Dong family¡¯s one having the highest premium. However, the bracelet designed by grandma Chen and his wife liked it, so it was worth the price. As for the second item ... It was the blue and white porcin vase that Jianghai had won. The thought of Jianghai¡¯s face that looked as if he had just eaten sh * t made Joes feel extremely satisfied. This kind of revenge was much more satisfying than verbal revenge. Furthermore, Xing Yuan design was the beneficiary. Not only did they teach Jianghai a lesson, but they had also earned a considerable sum of money. He probably wouldn¡¯t encounter such a good thing many times. ¡°A perfect ending? That¡¯s good, I told you sisi, you¡¯ll definitely seed. ¡± Chen Anna was also in a good mood, and she couldn¡¯t help but raise her eyebrows. ¡°You¡¯re so happy,¡± Joes asked with a smile.¡±Did something good happen?¡± Hearing this, Chen Anna immediately nodded. ¡°Thepany has epted a coboration with a fashion show,¡± she said.¡±We¡¯re in charge of the fashion design. I¡¯m the main fashion designer.¡± Chen Anna gloated for a while, but her words caught Joes¡¯s attention. A fashion show? It ... Couldn¡¯t be such a coincidence, but it was possible. Joes was silent for two seconds before asking in a slightly puzzled tone,¡±¡±Anna, is the Xu Corporation your partner in the fashion show?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Chen Anna was stunned. After all, she did not say anything, but joesse had already guessed it. This matter had only been decided yesterday. Sure enough! Joesughed helplessly and shrugged her shoulders.¡±If I¡¯m not mistaken, I¡¯m also a partner in jewelry design. It seems that it¡¯ll be much more convenient this time.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up. It was also very convenient because the two of them were currently living together. Qiao Si was familiar with Chen Anna¡¯s design style. She could design matching jewelry or set goals for Lin ya and the others. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They were more confident in this fashion show. Although President Xu had yet toe to Xing Yuan design to discuss the details of the cooperation, it was definitely confirmed. Qiao Si was sure that in the jewelry industry, other than Jin Yupany, Xing Yuan¡¯s design skills should be in the top three. Thepany not only had capable employees from Hengyuan, but also two designers, Lin ya and Wang Li. At least for now, there were no drawbacks. Chen Anna discussed her design direction with Joes for the entire night, as well as the style that she would pick. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day. In the early morning, the sky was covered with white clouds. The sun rose from the East and illuminated city H. Qiao si woke up early in the morning and went to thepany to take a look. She also had a chat with the manager of the marketing department. ¡°President, do you mean to publicize the auction?¡± The Marketing Manager asked. Jossi nodded.¡±But there has to be a purpose for the publicity. We have to make a name for ourselves first. That way, our next move will attract more attention.¡± The Department manager was an old hand at publicity, so she immediately understood what she meant. ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t worry, President. I won¡¯t be used by anyone.¡± The Marketing Manager was very understanding. Joes was rather satisfied.¡±Put more effort into this. If there¡¯s anything, tell Millie. She¡¯ll contact me.¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± After solving the problem with the publicity department, Jossi went to take a look at the other departments in thepany. The rest of the departments were also operating in an orderly manner. Seeing that there were no problems with thepany, she left with a peace of mind. She had not forgotten that she had promised Zheng Zeyi to visit old master Zheng at the hospital today. At the same time, at the Zheng Corporation. ¡°You little brat, you¡¯ve really turned the world upside down. You actually want me to go to the hospital and pretend to be sick?¡± Old master Zheng said in disbelief. After he finished speaking, his breathing became a little more rapid. This was outrageous ... This B * stard actually wanted him to be hospitalized and even announced that his internal injuries had rpsed and were difficult to treat. After hearing old master Zheng¡¯s words, Zheng Zeyi smiled and said with determination,¡±¡±Old man, don¡¯t you want to see your granddaughter-inw?¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s wailing stopped abruptly. He asked expectantly,¡±¡±Granddaughter-inw? Sisi is back?¡± The granddaughter-inw in his memory was still Joes from the birthday party. She was well-mannered, beautiful, and generous,pletely in line with old master Zheng¡¯s inner view of his granddaughter-inw. Although he was amoner, his family background might not be as good as Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. However, old master Zheng didn¡¯t care about this at all. To him, a person¡¯s character was much more important than these worldly possessions. Grandma Zheng¡¯s figure appeared in his mind, and old master Zheng calmed down. ¡°Pretending to be sick? Fine, I¡¯ll pretend for my granddaughter-inw, but don¡¯t expose me when the timees. Otherwise, if you scare your granddaughter-inw away, I¡¯d like to see where you can find a second one. ¡± In a year¡¯s time, old master Zheng had be much more energetic. He had repeatedly reminded Zheng Zeyi not to expose himself. Chapter 193

Chapter 193: He really came down

Zheng Zeyi nodded helplessly.¡±¡±Old man, I think you¡¯d better take care of yourself first,¡± ¡°I¡¯m toozy to talk to you!¡± Old master Zheng was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He immediately hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly ordered the Butler in the vi to send him to thergest private hospital in city H. Aftermunicating with the doctor and confirming that there were no problems, old man Zhengy on the bed with a peace of mind. Zheng Zeyi received the address of the private hospital and the ward number. ¡°His mouth is disdainful but his body is upright ...¡± Zheng Zeyi mumbled softly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he ced his phone on the table. Now, everything was ready, except for the crucial wind. At the entrance of the Zheng Corporation. After Qiao si parked the car, she entered the Zheng Corporation. There were not many changes in the same year. It was just that the decorations had changed a little, making it look more simple and Grand. She walked quickly to the front desk and said to thedy at the front desk,¡±¡±Hello, I want to see President Zheng.¡± Thedy at the front desk was stunned for a moment. She sized up Joes and did not think much of it. ...... ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you can¡¯t see President Zheng without an appointment. ¡± The receptionist said. In his heart, he was thinking, which woman is trying to climb up the socialdder? Did he really think that she would let him go just because he was wearing branded clothes? What a joke. During this period of time, countless people hade to the front desk to ask to see Zheng Zeyi. The front deskdy could be considered to be experienced. She didn¡¯t believe any of them now, and it was impossible for her to let them go. In case the higher-ups med her and used her as a shield. After hearing the receptionist¡¯s words, Joes furrowed her brows slightly. She had forgotten about the appointment. ¡°Then wait a moment, I¡¯ll give your President Zheng a call.¡± After saying that, Joes turned around and took out her phone, as if she was about to make a call. The front deskdy and the colleague next to her looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°It must be fake ...¡± The front deskdy¡¯s mouth twitched. However, his voice was very soft, so as not to be heard by Joes and cause trouble. His colleague beside him also said in disbelief,¡±¡±I think so too. If you¡¯re really looking for President Zheng, can¡¯t you just give him a call? Why did he have toe to thepany? It¡¯s troublesome. ¡± The two of them nodded in agreement. However, they did not know that Qiao sisi was really calling Zheng Zeyi, who was in the president¡¯s office. He had left the phone number in his contact list a year ago, and he had not changed it for a year. ¡± The sound of the call being picked up came from the phone. Joes waited for a while before the call was picked up. ¡°Hello?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s familiar voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. It was extremely maic and tugged at one¡¯s heartstrings. Joes thought that she was immune to it, but she was still stunned for a while before she reacted. ¡°I¡¯m downstairs at yourpany, but I can¡¯t get in without an appointment. I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs.¡± Joes quickly said. After she finished speaking, she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right down.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. ¡°Yes.¡± Joes hung up the phone decisively. When she heard the beeping sound from the phone, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily and she put the phone back into her pocket. Seeing that she had finished her call, the front deskdy asked curiously,¡±¡±Miss, what did President Zheng say?¡± There was a hint of a smile in her tone, and it was clear that she did not believe him. Joes was no fool. She could tell that it was obvious, but she did not mind. She couldn¡¯t stop other people¡¯s thoughts, and she didn¡¯t want to. ¡°She¡¯lle down in a while. ¡± Joes said simply, then stood to the side and waited. He didn¡¯t know which hospital in city h old man Zheng was staying in. Fortunately, he bought some fruits and gifts on the way. Thinking about old master Zheng¡¯s serious illness, joesse could not help but sigh. At the front desk. ¡°She said that President Zheng would being downter.¡± The front deskdy held back herughter and couldn¡¯t help but tell her colleagues. After working in thepany for so long, everyone knew what Zheng Zeyi was like. Even if someone really came to look for him, he would have to go upstairs. There was no reason for Zheng ze toe down and receive him. ¡°No.¡± The colleague shook his head slightly.¡±Now we can be sure that he¡¯s definitely a liar.¡± The front deskdy had the same thought. ¡°We¡¯ll see her suffer in a while. President Zheng definitely won¡¯te down.¡± The two of them looked like they were watching a good show. Fortunately, there were not many people at the front desk, so they did not need to do anything. Joes stood by the side and waited for a while in boredom. Not long after, she saw a familiar figure at the electricdder. So fast? With a look of surprise in her eyes, Joes took a look at the time. It had only been two minutes since the call was hung up. She had thought that she would have to wait for a while, but Zheng Zeyi had acted so quickly. Zheng Zeyi did not know what was on her mind. He strode out of the elevator with his long legs and immediately attracted the attention of all the employees. ¡°President Zheng ...¡± ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s really President Zheng.¡± After the two female employees saw it, they couldn¡¯t help but exim. However, the next second, they realized that something was wrong and quickly said in unison,¡±¡±Hello, President Zheng.¡± The other employees also said the same thing, their attitudes extremely respectful. The elevator was very close to the front desk, so the front deskdy and her colleagues naturally heard the staff¡¯s voices. One person said that it might be a joke. However, with so many employees greeting him at the same time, the truth had already surfaced. The smile on the front deskdy¡¯s face froze. She could not help but turn around and see Zheng Zeyi walking with a swagger. President Zheng ... He actually came down! The front deskdy¡¯s eyes were filled with shock, and the colleagues around her were not any better. The two of them did not expect President Zheng, who was cold to the outside world, to actuallye down! Thinking of this, the front deskdy swallowed her saliva and quickly said respectfully,¡±¡±Hello, President Zheng.¡± ¡°Good day, President Zheng!¡± His colleague also said. At this moment, the greetings were more uniform than ever. Qiao SI¡¯s gaze also fell on Zheng Zeyi, and a smile appeared on her lips. At this time, the receptionist and her colleagues hadpletely admitted defeat. The glimmer of hope they had waspletely destroyed. One look at the direction that Zheng Zeyi was walking in and she could tell that he was indeed walking towards Joes. ¡°President Zheng,¡± Joes nodded slightly. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t notice the surprised expressions of the employees around her, but she was toozy to exin. There was no way she could stop everyone from talking. Moreover, the innocent would know their ce. The current Qiao si si and Zheng ze Yi had no rtionship at all. Chapter 194

Chapter 194: What exactly is the situation?

¡°Since you¡¯re here, let¡¯s go.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. With that, Joes followed him out of the Zheng Corporation,pletely ignoring the shocked expressions behind her. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s idea was very simple. He wanted to make people misunderstand that this was his goal. On the other hand, Joes had the thought that she was innocent, and the two of them did not have any particrly intimate contact. ¡°Oh my God ... President Zheng actually came down for a woman.¡± The colleague could not help but widen his eyes. The front deskdy also began to regret her actions. If she had known that there was really a rtionship between joesse and President Zheng, she would not have stopped her so firmly just now. Now, it was all good. People¡¯s impression of her had probably fallen to the bottom. Little did she know that joesse did not take thedy¡¯s actions and words to heart at all. ¡­¡­¡­ At the parking lot. Zheng ze opened the door to the passenger¡¯s seat and asked her to get in like a gentleman. ...... ¡°Wait,¡± Joes suddenly said. Then, she went to her car and took out some gifts and fruits before getting into the car. Zheng Zeyi got into the driver¡¯s seat, started the car, and headed to the address of the private hospital that old master Zheng had given. Now, it all depended on old master Zheng¡¯s acting skills. Joes did not know anything about this. After she got into the car, she asked worriedly,¡±Is Grandpa Zheng¡¯s body alright?¡± Zheng Zeyi was silent for a while. His silence, in joesse¡¯s eyes, had manyplicated meanings. Not long after, Zheng Zeyi said,¡±¡±His condition has stabilized, but his physical condition is still not good. I might have to stay in the hospital for a while, so it¡¯s a little troublesome. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was very calm, but the calmer he sounded, the more Qiao SI¡¯s heart ached for him. She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, took a deep breath, and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry too much, everything will be fine. ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly. The two of them looked at each other in silence. The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. The private hospital was not too far away from the Zheng Corporation. They arrived at their destination after a five to six-minute drive. This private hospital was thergest in city H. Whenever old master Zheng had any health problems, he woulde here to see the doctor. Therefore, when Zheng ze asked him to feign illness, he thought of this immediately. It was also easier tomunicate with the doctor. ¡°Bang!¡± The car door was closed, and Jossi and Zheng ze alighted at the same time, heading towards the private hospital. There weren¡¯t many people at the entrance of the hospital, so it looked a little deserted. Qiao si sneaked a nce at Zheng Zeyi, who was walking in front. Seeing that he was expressionless, she broke the silence,¡±¡±Zheng ... Zeyi, Grandpa Zheng himself isn¡¯t emotionally unstable, right?¡± Old patients were most worried about emotional instability and giving up hope on themselves. Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks when he heard this. His maic voice rang out from the top of joesse¡¯s head,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, my grandfather isn¡¯t that kind of person. He used to be a soldier, so he has a good mentality. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Joes was relieved. The two of them entered the private hospital and saw many nurses walking around. There were also some patients in wheelchairs being pushed out by nurses to get some sunlight. There was also a familiar smell of disinfectant. Even though joesse was rarely sick and hospitalized, she was extremely familiar with this smell. This was because she had watched her mother get hospitalized when she was young. He even ... Passed away in the hospital. Joes would never forget this matter for the rest of her life if it wasn¡¯t for the vampires in the Joes. Her mother would not have passed away so early. For a moment, many memories surfaced in Joes ¡®mind. She slowly let out a breath and suppressed her thoughts. Zheng Zeyi led her to a vip Ward. When he pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was a pure white Ward. Old man Zheng was leaning on the bed and drinking chicken soup. When he heard the door open, his eyes lit up. His granddaughter-inw was here! He quickly put down the thermos in his hand andy on the bed. He attached the infusion set to his hand very discreetly. As long as one didn¡¯t look carefully, one would never notice that there was no needle inside. Old master Zheng had been in the Army in his early years, but not for a long time, so the many hidden injuries that Zheng Zeyi had mentioned did not exist at all. It¡¯s just that there are some physical problems, so it¡¯s good to be hospitalized. After Jossi entered the ward, she saw old master Zheng lying on the bed with a weak expression. ¡°Grandpa Zheng.¡± Looking at this scene, Joes had aplicated expression on her face. She took a few steps forward and ced the fruits and gifts at the side. Zheng Zeyi, who was behind him, also entered the ward. When he saw old master Zheng, he gave him a subtle look. Sess or failure would be decided by this one move. As long as old man Zheng did a good job, he would be able to get joesse to visit him every few days to deepen their rtionship. ¡°Sisi...You¡¯re here. I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. ¡± Old master Zheng forced a smile, his voice slightly hoarse. He was telling the truth. It had been a year since the banquet. Back then, old master Zheng had thought that Jossi was definitely going to be his granddaughter-inw, but he did not expect her to leave the country so soon. Joes revealed a smile and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯m here.¡± When she saw old master Zheng, she suddenly remembered the Jade bangle she had received a year ago. She had almost forgotten that old master Zheng had also exined to her that it was a gift for his granddaughter-inw. However, it was not long before Jossi left city H. No matter how she thought about it, Joes felt a little guilty. She felt that she had let old master Zheng down. ¡°Sisi,e ... Sit down.¡± Said old man Zheng. After he finished speaking, he pointed at the chair beside him. Zheng Zeyi stood in front of the bed and looked at the two of them talking. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded and sat down on a chair at the side. She looked at old man Zheng worriedly. Old master Zheng seemed to have seen through her and smiled weakly.¡±¡±Sisi, don¡¯t feel too burdened. Actually, I know that you¡¯re not very satisfied with my grandson, but I don¡¯t have much time left. I still want to see him start a family. ¡± At this point, old master Zheng suddenly coughed. ¡°Cough cough ... Cough cough ...¡± The clear sound of coughing reverberated throughout the entire Ward. Shocked, joesse quickly stood up and helped old master Zheng up. After letting him lean on the soft pillow, she patted old man Zheng¡¯s back gently. Old master Zheng waved his hand and shook his head.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯m fine now. Sisi, you¡¯re so kind.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Grandpa Zheng. Be careful. I¡¯ll ask the doctorter to see what¡¯s going on.¡± Joes furrowed her brows tightly, her worry evident. Chapter 195

Chapter 195: You are a good child

A year ago, joesse had attended old master Zheng¡¯s 70th birthday. By then, old master Zheng was already 71 years old. In addition to his body being worn down, there were more things to pay attention to at this age. Old master Zheng¡¯s face was pale, and he said indifferently,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to ask. The doctor only said those words and I¡¯m tired of hearing them. But sisi, how have you been getting along with my grandson since you came back?¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of this. It was obvious that this was what he was most concerned about. Upon hearing that, joesse¡¯s expression turned awkward. She nced at Zheng Zeyi, who had a calm expression on his face. For a moment, she did not know what to say. ¡°Grandpa, let¡¯s not ask this question.¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently and turned his head away. However, old master Zheng understood what he meant immediately. ¡°Is that so ...¡± Old master Zhengughed helplessly. He looked a little disappointed and lonely. Seeing this, Qiao sisi¡¯s heart finally softened. She gritted her teeth and remembered the agreement she had with Zheng Zeyi. He could continue pretending, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem anyway. With this thought in mind, Joes straightened her expression and smiled sweetly,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. ...... Zeyi ... He¡¯s just a little embarrassed to say that I¡¯ve made up with him a long time ago. We were just in a Cold War because of an argument. ¡± Jossi came up with a rather poor excuse for going overseas. Anyway, she was already back in the country. Old master Zheng would probably not ask for so many details, so it should be fine. As expected, old man Zheng¡¯s disappointment was swept away after hearing this. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯ve already made up with ze Yi?¡± he asked in surprise. ¡°We¡¯ve already made up. ¡± Joesughed. Then, she gave Zheng Zeyi a look. Her meaning was obvious. She wanted him to stop talking nonsense. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, the corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up. He was in an extremely good mood. ¡°That¡¯s good. I thought that the Zheng family was going to have no offspring. With this brat¡¯s personality, it¡¯s a great thing to be able to find a granddaughter-inw.¡± Old master Zheng disparaged Zheng Zeyi without batting an eyelid. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched uncontrobly. A smile welled up in her heart, but she held it back. I can¡¯tugh! She really wanted to tell old master Zheng that if his grandson really wanted to find a wife, there would be a bunch of people rushing to get one. He just didn¡¯t like it. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± At this moment, the phone in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pocket rang. He frowned slightly and was about to hang up. However, when he saw the name on the screen, he gave up on the idea. This was because he had been preparing for the coboration with star Yuan design, but he had not discussed it with Joes yet. There was a process to wooing his wife. ¡°I¡¯ll go out to take a call. ¡± Zheng Zeyi waved his phone at old master Zheng and joesse before leaving the ward. He closed the door of the ward to avoid being disturbed. Looking at this scene, Qiao si did not think much of it. After all, she was the president of the Zheng Corporation and it was normal for her to be busy every day. Even she, the president of a smallpany, sometimes had to be overwrought with thepany¡¯s Affairs. Seeing that Zheng Zeyi had left the ward, old master Zheng suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Sisi.¡± Jossi turned around and looked at old master Zheng. She asked,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Old master Zheng leaned back on the bed, a wry smile on his face. ¡°Sisi,¡± he said after a long time,¡±this old man has also experienced many storms. I can see many things. Cough, cough ...¡± Suddenly, old man Zheng started coughing violently and patted his chest repeatedly. Joes quickly poured him a ss of warm water and patted his back,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, are you alright? Speak slowly, I¡¯m listening. ¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m fine now. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Old man Zheng took a sip of water, smiled, and waved his hand to show that he was fine. ¡°You and Zeyi. It doesn¡¯t look like you¡¯ve made up. He was here just now, so there were some things I couldn¡¯t say.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s expression was a little dejected as he said,¡±¡±That child of his has always wanted to be strong since he was young. He doesn¡¯t know how to be flexible in many things and is extremely cowardly. I¡¯ve mentioned this to him many times in the past. He has changed, but when ites to matters of the heart, he might not be able to lower his head and admit his mistakes. ¡± After he finished, he sighed. After hearing this, Qiao si pursed her lips, but a clear figure appeared in her mind. It was Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, it¡¯s not like that,¡± she said with a straight face.¡±When ites to rtionships ... I can¡¯t really say for sure.¡± After all, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were not really together. There were many things that she did not know how to exin. Now that old master Zheng was seriously ill, she didn¡¯t want to be too blunt and make him sad. ¡°When Zeyi was young, his mother passed away from a serious illness and his father was a Rascal. He didn¡¯t have much hope in the rtionship of the family.¡± Old master Zheng said calmly. When Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father was mentioned, his tone was also very disappointed. The Zheng family had been in the business world for their entire life, but unfortunately, they had Zheng lihan, who had a mistress and was addicted to art. ¡°Sisi, if there¡¯s still room for negotiation between you and Zeyi, you can try to ept him. Other than Zheng lihan, I dare say that no one from the Zheng family is a jerk. I can guarantee that they are all responsible. ¡± Old master Zheng made a solemn vow with hisst sentence. His Zheng family had emerged. Other than a good-for-nothing, the others were all indomitable figures. There was no doubt about this. Jossi also believed that the Zheng family was a family that had been established in the business world for decades. Sisi, what do you think about what Grandpa just said?¡± Old master Zheng smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation. He still wanted to make things clear so that his future granddaughter-inw could try to ept his grandson. Leaning on Zheng Zeyi ... Was too slow. Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯ll consider your words.¡± Joesse pursed her lips and only managed to say this after a long while. Only God knew how much determination she had. Since old master Zheng had already seen through it, there was no point in hiding it. As for the idea of getting along with Zheng ze, Joes initially wanted to reject him, but after seeing the look in old master Zheng¡¯s eyes, she really could not bring herself to say it. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re willing to try. Sisi, you¡¯re a good child. Here ... This is for you.¡± Old master Zheng was all smiles. Then, he put his hand into his pocket and searched for something for a long time. Looking at this, Jossi¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt. She did not know what old master Zheng was up to. Chapter 196

Chapter 196: My grandfather gave it to you

Not long after, old master Zheng took out a key from his pocket. The key was shining with a silver light and looked brand new. Joes did not understand and asked curiously,¡±Grandpa Zheng, what¡¯s this key for?¡± There was a small sign hanging on the key, with the words ¡°blue sky Apartment¡± written in heavy ink. Upon seeing those words, Joes¡¯s expression changed slightly. Blue sky Apartment? Wasn¡¯t this the high-ss apartment that Zheng Zeyi was staying in? The basicyout was three bedrooms, one living room, and two bathrooms. Joesse had stayed with Zheng ze there before, so she was quite clear about this. She also knew about the rent. The average monthly rent was 5000 Yuan. Even so, many people could not get their hands on it because of the good environment and the excellent security. As expected, old master Zheng gave an exnation in the next second. ¡°Sisi, this is the key to Qing Tian apartment. The unit number is on it too. It¡¯s the apartment opposite of Zeyi ¡®s. This way, it¡¯ll be easier for you to cultivate your rtionship. I¡¯ve put in a lot of effort. ¡± The smile on old master Zheng¡¯s face became even brighter, and he couldn¡¯t hide it. How could he not be happy when he saw that his granddaughter-inw was about to be in his hands? Upon seeing this, the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. ...... It was not easy for her to leave Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side, and now she was going back on her own? When she thought of the blue sky Apartment, many hidden memories suddenly emerged in front of her eyes, which made her stunned for a moment. Old master Zheng saw her dazed expression and asked,¡±¡±Sisi? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Grandpa Zheng, this is too expensive. I can¡¯t take it. ¡± After regaining her senses, Joes quickly waved her hands and rejected the key. Old master Zheng¡¯s gift was a little too expensive. It was an apartment. Joes did not deserve it, and she did not want to take advantage of the elderly. Seeing her like this, old master Zheng¡¯s face darkened.¡±¡±Sisi, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t like my things?¡± ¡°Grandpa Zheng, you¡¯re being too serious. It¡¯s just that this is too valuable. I really can¡¯t take it.¡± Joesse was rather helpless. Hearing this, old master Zheng¡¯s expression softened a little. However, he still didn¡¯t give up and kept insisting on the benefits of this matter. ¡°Sisi, Grandpa isn¡¯t joking with you. Grandpa ... Really hopes to see Zeyi get married and start a family in his lifetime.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s tone was filled with emotion. It could be seen that he was really concerned about this matter. Apart from Lin Xiu ¡®er, there was no one else in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personal life. The key was that Lin Xiu ¡®er was unwilling to be lonely and hooked up with other men. Every time she thought of this matter, Qiao si si could not understand Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s train of thought. She did not want such a good man and hooked up with someone else? There must be something wrong with his brain. However, what Qiao sisi did not know was that even when Zheng Zeyi and Lin Xiu ¡®er were together, he was also extremely cold to her. Otherwise, Lin Xiu ¡®er would not be unwilling to be lonely and be caught having an affair. As her thoughts gradually scattered, Joes suppressed all her thoughts, raised her head, and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I understand what you¡¯re trying to say. It¡¯s just that this key ... Can¡¯t be taken.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I take it?¡± Old master Zheng pretended to be serious and stuffed the key into joesse¡¯s hand, as if he would not allow anyone to refuse. Looking at him now, his personality was really simr to Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. Joes wanted to pull her hand away, but old master Zheng was much stronger than she had imagined and did not allow her to refuse. ¡°Grandpa Zheng ...¡± Joesse sighed slightly and smiled helplessly. Old master Zheng smiled and said,¡±¡±Alright sisi, don¡¯t reject me anymore. I don¡¯t have much time left. This is my only wish in my life.¡± After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a weary expression. Joes shook her head immediately.¡±Grandpa Zheng, don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild. You¡¯re strong and healthy. You¡¯ll be fine.¡± ¡°Sisi, would you like to stay here and chat with me? I won¡¯t waste your time. ¡± Said old man Zheng. ¡°Alright!¡± Of course, Joes did not reject him and chatted with Grandpa Zheng for a while. There was no sign of him leaving for the next half an hour. When Zheng Zeyi returned after he was done with his work, he saw old master Zheng and joesse talking harmoniously. The warm sunlight shone through the ss window and hit the two of them. For some reason, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart was suddenly touched. He heaved a sigh of relief and knocked on the door lightly. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± The sound of knocking on the door attracted the attention of the two. Old master Zheng knew his grandson well. He saw the look in his eyes and understood what he meant. ¡°Sisi, Grandpa isn¡¯t feeling well. I¡¯d like to take a nap.¡± Old man Zheng said weakly. Joes nodded and stood up,¡±¡±Alright, then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore, Grandpa Zheng. If I have time next time, I¡¯lle and see you again. ¡± After greeting old master Zheng, joesse then left the ward with Zheng Zeyi and closed the door softly. Zheng Zeyi looked at the petite woman who was a head shorter than him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curve up. Joes did not notice his gaze and said worriedly,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, have you asked the doctor about Grandpa Zheng¡¯s condition?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi pondered for two seconds.¡±¡±My grandpa¡¯s doctor is doctor Chen, who used to be in charge of him. I was just talking to him about this. Those old hidden injuries have umted in his body for too long, and it¡¯s not easy to treat them. He¡¯s in a meeting now. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words were brilliant. He did not even blink when he lied. No one could tell that he was lying. After hearing what he said, joesse did not suspect anything and simply assumed that doctor Chen had really gone to a meeting. After all, in her impression, Zheng Zeyi would not lie, and there was no need to lie. ¡°I¡¯ll cooperate with you during this period of time,¡± joesse said.¡±I¡¯ll try my best to make Grandpa Zheng happy.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded, and the corners of his lips could not help but curve up. This was ... The effect he wanted. ¡°Oh right, Grandpa Zheng also gave me this key. Why don¡¯t I leave it with you first?¡± Joes recalled the bunch of keys and quickly took them out from her pocket. He didn¡¯t want to take it at first, but old master Zheng was too determined. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brows raised slightly when he saw the keys, and a hint of a smile shed across his eyes. It seemed that the old man understood some things without being told. He even knew what to do. ¡°Ahem.¡± Zheng Zeyi cleared his throat and his expression softened.¡±¡±Since my grandfather gave it to you, then take it. His body is weak, but his brain is not bad. He can tell immediately whether you¡¯re living at the blue sky Apartment or not. ¡± Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Are you done considering?

What Zheng Zeyi said was true. Old master Zheng had lived for so long and had experienced so many ups and downs. He could tell many things at a nce. This was especially true for a young person like joesse, who had no way of hiding. Only Zheng Zeyi. Old master Zheng couldn¡¯t see through his grandson¡¯s thoughts. It was better to name him directly than to beat around the bush. Unfortunately ... For the sake of his granddaughter-inw, he had topromise. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si did not know if she should put down the key. After a long time, she frowned and said,¡±¡±Do you also mean for me to move to the blue sky Apartment?¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at her and said as he walked,¡±¡±Let¡¯s talk outside. The hospital is not a good ce to talk. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joesse nodded and jogged after Zheng Zeyi, leaving the hospital. The parking lot was near the hospital, and there was a road next to it. At that moment, there was a lot of traffic, and the sound of cars roaring could be heard. Zheng ze opened the car door and let joesse in. The interior of the car was clearly very spacious and bright, but joesse had the illusion that the space was small and narrow, and she subconsciously shifted her body. ...... Zheng Zeyi was sitting on the left side of the room. When she turned her head, she could see his exquisite side profile, which was eye-catching and attractive. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about my grandfather. Juste and visit him asionally to make him happy.¡± His maic voice rang out. Upon hearing this, Joes agreed,¡±¡±Okay, don¡¯t worry about that. I¡¯lle and visit Grandpa Zheng when I¡¯m free.¡± At least, she would have to wait until old master Zheng recovered before she could be at ease. ¡°Also ...¡± Zheng Zeyi continued,¡±regarding thepany, there¡¯s a project that I want to discuss with you.¡± Project cooperation? When these words entered her ears, Qiao Si was slightly surprised. Her pupils shrank, and she looked at Zheng Zeyi in surprise. What was going on? Zheng Zeyi actually wanted to work with her? Joesse could not wrap her head around this. Star Yuan design was only a small, unknownpany. He was not famous, and he did not even have the strength that the outside world was familiar with. Although it was currently developing in a good direction, it still needed a certain amount of time to grow. However, such a smallpany had not only received the support of Hengyuan investment¡¯s CEO, Chen zuolin, but now even Zheng Zeyi was going to participate? ¡°Are you very surprised?¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled and the corners of his lips curled up. He looked at Qiao si with a half-smile. Only then did she suddenly realize that she had been so shocked that her eyes were almost glued to him. Instantly, her face flushed red. Joes quickly retracted her gaze and patted her face. She took a deep breath to cool her face down. It was too embarrassing! This wasn¡¯t the first time it had happened. How could it still be like this? After criticizing herself in her heart, Joes finally calmed down and asked,¡±¡±What do you mean ... By project cooperation?¡± The Zheng Corporation was involved in too many industries. For a moment, she did not know what the other party was talking about. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fingers were on the steering wheel. His joints were clearly defined and he looked extremely good. He tapped on it lightly, making a rhythmic sound that calmed people¡¯s hearts. ¡°You should know that the Zheng Corporation is involved in many industries. The project cooperation is about thepany¡¯s intention to enter the jewelry design industry. In my opinion, although Xingyuan design is small, it has all the essentials. That¡¯s why I¡¯m talking to you about cooperation. ¡± He was involved in many industries, but that didn¡¯t mean he had been in every industry. The jewelry design industry was a field that the Zheng Corporation had yet to touch. Otherwise, he would not have sent Qiao si si to Jin Yupany. It would be better to send it directly to his ownpany under his eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao SI¡¯s eyes lit up. No matter what, once Zheng ze thought of Xingyuan design, it was a good start. Although she didn¡¯t know if it was because of the auctionst time, she felt that it was part of the reason. ¡°You have a good eye, President Zheng. Although Xing Yuan design is just a newpany, its business capabilities are still very strong. If you have any requests, you can talk to me.¡± A bright smile appeared on Joss¡¯s face. She seemed to be on steroids the moment thepany was mentioned. Zheng Zeyi nced at her from the corner of his eyes. He was satisfied and his smile deepened. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been decided yet. We need to hold a meeting, but ... I can invest in Xingyuan design.¡± Investment! Qiao si grasped the most crucial word. The Zheng¡¯s group was a hen thatid golden eggs! Besides, what Xing Yuancked at the moment was an investor, and now there was a ready-made oneing to the door. Jossi made a prompt decision and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, why don¡¯t I treat you to a meal and we can talk about it?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s today, let¡¯s not eat.¡± After Zheng Zeyi finished his sentence, he added,¡±¡±The capital injection will bepleted in a day or two. We¡¯ll still need to sign the contract then. There are still many details to be discussed regarding the cooperation. It will be much more convenient if you move to the blue sky Apartment. ¡± ¡°This ...¡± Joes was a little hesitant. She did not expect the topic to return to the blue sky Apartment. However, what Zheng Zeyi said was also true. If the Zheng Corporation under his name really wanted to enter the jewelry design industry ... There were a lot of problems to solve in the early stages, so it would be much more convenient to move to the blue sky Apartment. This was something that joesse had misunderstood. The Zheng Corporation was a bigpany and there were many jewelry designpanies that were rushing to help. ¡°Are you done considering?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked. Qiao si si pursed her lips, a faint ¡°Chuan¡± character appearing between her brows. Her inner thoughts were extremely rich. Forget it! Even if she moved to the blue sky Apartment, they would be living in two separate apartments, so there was no need to resist. At the thought of this, Joes made up her mind and said,¡±Okay, I¡¯ll move to the blue sky Apartment.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s mood improved after hearing that. ¡°Sure, the capital injection will be settled tomorrow. I¡¯ll send you home first.¡± Zheng Zeyi stepped on the gas and headed toward Chen Anna¡¯s apartment at a much faster speed than before. Joesse nced at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side profile, which was smiling, and the corners of her lips curled up. Sensing her own abnormality, she quickly sat up straight, her eyes looking straight ahead, and her sitting posture upright. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m just going to stay there for a while. At most, I¡¯ll just move out and find another ce after I¡¯ve solved the project cooperation.¡± Joes said to herself in her heart. Chapter 198

Chapter 198: I¡¯m ... Here to help you with your luggage

Chen Anna¡¯s rented apartment was a little far from the hospital, and it took about ten minutes to get there. After arriving at the apartment, Joes opened the car door and was about to get out. ¡°When do you n to move to the blue sky Apartment?¡± Zheng Zeyi suddenly spoke and interrupted her. Upon hearing this, Jossi fell silent for two seconds before she asked tentatively,¡±¡±How about ... Tomorrow?¡± The atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy. Even standing at the door, she could feel the low pressure. The F * ck? Joesse¡¯s eyes widened. What did she say wrong to make this CEO unhappy again? ¡°Then, how about tonight?¡± After a moment¡¯s deliberation, joesse set an earlier time. As for Zheng Zeyi, who might be thepany¡¯s investor, she would support him for the time being. It would not be good to offend him. After hearing this, the gloomy atmosphere in the car dissipated a little. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, which was still not looking very good just now, softened. A smile shed across his eyes as he said,¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll pick you up at eight tonight.¡± Eighto¡¯ clock ... ...... ¡°Alright,¡± Jossi nodded.¡±I¡¯ll go pack my luggage first.¡± After that, she did not dy any further. She closed the car door with a ¡°bang¡± and walked in the direction of the apartment. Zheng ze sat in the driver¡¯s seat and looked at the graceful figure in front of him. His eyes were filled with strange emotions. It seemed that he had to work harder during this period of time. On the other side. After Joes returned to her apartment, Chen Anna happened to be busy with the design drafts. She was supposed to be on leave today. However, Chen Anna was still a little worried about the fashion show in the future, so she got up to reorganize the design drafts. ¡°Sisi, why did youe back? You¡¯re so early today. ¡± Chen Anna looked at the time. It was only 12 o¡¯ clock in the afternoon. She didn¡¯t even have time to prepare lunch. Joes blinked her eyes and said,¡±Anna, I might have something to tell you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s tone was slightly doubtful. ording to her best friend¡¯s personality, she would not be so serious unless it was a very important matter. Chen Anna understood this, so she stopped joking and listened carefully. After a long time, Joes opened her mouth with difficulty and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just ... I might have to move out of the apartment again. ¡± ¡°?¡± Chen Anna felt a big question mark appear above her head. For a moment, she couldn¡¯t figure out where things were going. ¡°Wait, let me sort it out,¡± she quickly reached out her hand and said. After hearing her words, Joes nodded slightly and did not say anything else. After a long time, Chen Anna finally opened her mouth,¡±¡±You mean you want to move out of here, right?¡± ¡°... Yes.¡± Although she felt a little guilty, joesse still said it. After all, she had promised Zheng Zeyi. As for Chen Anna, it was not a problem for her toe often during the day. The problem of the fashion show could be solved. Chen Anna¡¯s face revealed a questioning expression. She squinted her eyes and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t stay here, where are you going? Exin clearly!¡± Her eyes glowed with the light of gossip, and she had no intention of forcing him to stay. Joes organized her words and said,¡±¡±We¡¯re going to the blue sky Apartment. You know where Zheng Zeyi used to live.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to move to him ...¡± Before Chen Anna could finish her sentence, Jossi interrupted her,¡±¡±No, I don¡¯t mean that. We¡¯re just neighbors. He has the intention to invest in thepany and wants to enter the jewelry design industry. He wants to find a partner, so he said it would be easier to discuss cooperation there. ¡± After hearing this, Chen Anna¡¯s expression was somewhat clear. However, she still didn¡¯t think that things were as simple as they seemed on the surface. She revealed a mischievous smile.¡±It seems like President Zheng hasn¡¯t given up on you.¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± Joes immediately retorted. It was true that Anna Chen did not like Zheng Zeyi, but there was no doubt that he had always been good to Qiao si. For the sake of her good friend, she would not say anything. ¡°Sigh, if I were you, I¡¯d be in a dilemma. One is President Chen zuolin, and the other is Zheng Zeyi. I don¡¯t know which one to choose.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s tone was a bit teasing, and she shrugged helplessly. Looking at this infuriating look, Joes gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Are you looking for a beating?¡± ¡°...Okay, okay, I¡¯ll shut up.¡± Chen Anna quickly said and made a zipping motion to pull up her mouth. After chatting with her good friend for a while, Jossi went to her room to pack her luggage. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t have much luggage with her. It was just some thick clothes and skincare products. Other than that, there was nothing else. Jossi did not put on makeup often, unless she was attending important events. In her daily life, the most she could do was to put on ayer of lipstick. After packing her luggage, Jossi pushed her silver luggage out of the room. At the same time, Chen Anna had just finished preparing lunch. She left for the blue sky Apartment after she finished eating. After all, it would take some time to tidy up the apartment, and eighto¡¯ clock in the evening was a little toote. ¡­¡­¡­ After a long time, at the gate. ¡°Remember toe back more often.¡± Chen Anna waved her hand, not a trace of nostalgia could be seen on her face. Upon seeing this, Joes could not help but smile and nod,¡±¡±Sure, I¡¯lle back to see miss Chen¡¯s house when I¡¯m free.¡± After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back. She took out her phone and sent a message to Zheng Zeyi, basically telling him that he did not need to pick her up. After getting a car, joesse realized how convenient it was. She did not even need to call a car for her daily travels. After sending the text, she stuffed her phone into her pocket, got into the car, started it, and drove away. The series of actions were done in one go, flowing like water. Joes drove steadily, and the roads were clear. It only took five to six minutes to get from this apartment to the blue sky Apartment. ¡°Bang!¡± After closing the car door, joesse brought her luggage upstairs and took out the set of keys that old master Zheng had given her. The unit number on the key was 1987. It was opposite Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment. Joes dragged her luggage upstairs, but a shadow loomed over her from upstairs. She could not help but look up. ¡°Zheng Zeyi?¡± Joes furrowed her brows in confusion. On the stairs, a handsome and Slender Man in casual clothes was standing. Who else could it be but President Zheng? She had sent him a text message earlier and thought that Zheng Zeyi would note down. She did not expect to see him here. The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth lifted slightly. He took a few steps back and took the handle of the silver luggage from joesse. The suitcase was actually quite heavy, but it was like child¡¯s y in his hands. He lifted it up easily and walked upstairs. ¡°I ... I¡¯m here to help you with your luggage.¡± Chapter 199

Chapter 199: I¡¯ll be leaving first

His maic voice reverberated in the corridor, causing joesse to be slightly taken aback. When she came back to her senses, Zheng Zeyi had already walked far away. He was almost on the third floor, and his steps were extremely steady. ¡°Help me with my luggage?¡± Joes pursed her lips and could not help but repeat those words. It was as if something was breaking out of her heart. She covered up the smile on her face and coughed twice before following him upstairs. Their apartment was on the third floor, so they didn¡¯t have to walk too far. Zheng Zeyi ced his silver luggage in front of the door and waited for joesse to arrive. ¡°I¡¯ll open the door. ¡± Joes jogged all the way, waved the key in her hand, and inserted it into the lock of the apartment door. The door opened with a click. For some reason, a sense of anticipation welled up in her heart. Joes gently pushed the door open, and her pupils shrank when she saw the scene inside. She saw that the d¨¦cor of the apartment waspletely girlish. Almost everything she saw was pink, and the small decorations were eye-catching. On both sides of the door, there were two pots of carefully cut green nts and a brand new shoe cab. ...... In the apartment, basically everything was prepared, but the style was a bit unbearable to look at. Jossi ... Actually did not like girlish styles. Jossi¡¯s mouth twitched at the thought that this might have been arranged by old master Zheng. ¡°Grandpa Zheng¡¯s arrangement is really original.¡± Joes helplessly shrugged her shoulders and revealed a smile. A smile shed across Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes, but he quickly hid it and pushed The Silver Suitcase into the room. ¡°I think it¡¯s not bad.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse could not help but nce at Zheng Zeyi, but she did not say anything. Although the apartment¡¯s decorations were girlish, it could be seen that old master Zheng had put in a lot of effort. From the decorations and some of the stickers, Jossi could see the word ¡°careful¡± and felt a little grateful. She would thank old master Zheng when they went to the private hospital the next day. Joesse had an idea and pushed her luggage to the sofa, preparing to pack her things. ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you going to leave?¡± As soon as she looked up, she saw Zheng Zeyi leaning against the door with azy expression and a faint smile in his eyes. Then, his good-looking thin lips moved and he said,¡±¡±Moving into a new house, aren¡¯t you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?¡± Tea? Joes could not understand what he was trying to do, but she still agreed,¡±¡±Of course you can drink tea, but you have to wait for a while. I have to pack up my things now. I¡¯ll call youter, is that okay, President Zheng?¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes squeezed out a smile. Wasn¡¯t it just drinking tea? What¡¯s the big deal? Looking at her eyes, Zheng Zeyi understood what she meant. His lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled before turning to leave. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. For the next few hours, Jossi was busy packing her luggage and taking a look at the apartment¡¯s structure. The apartment was huge, more than 200 square meters. It was more than enough for one person to live in. It could be seen how generous old master Zheng was. One of the rooms was the bedroom, the other was the guest room, and there was a huge living room with an LCD TV, a refrigerator, and more. It was as if she had already expected this to happen, but Joes did not suspect anything. The Zheng family was a big family, so it wasn¡¯t strange for them to buy an apartment building. ¡°When old master Zheng¡¯s body is better ... I¡¯ll return the key to him,¡± Joes thought to herself and made a decision in her heart. After settling the chores in the apartment, joesse made two cups of hot tea and some desserts. It was more convenient, and it was also a way to thank Zheng Zeyi. When she arrived in front of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment, Qiao sisi pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before reaching out to knock on the door. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± There was a knock on the door, followed by a series of footsteps. The next moment, the apartment door was suddenly opened. Just as Joes was about to speak, she was stunned by the scene in front of her and took a long time to regain her senses. Zheng ze had just finished his shower when a faint minty smell hit his face, making him feel rxed and happy. His ck hair was still dripping with water. He was wiping it with a white towel, and his every move was full of charm. Most importantly, there was only a white towel tied around her waist, and it was very loose, as if it would fall off at any time. Qiao SI¡¯s eyes widened as her gaze slid down from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s muscr chest to his chocte-like eight-pack. At the end, she suddenly blinked and looked away. I can¡¯t continue watching! ¡°The heavens ...¡± Joes was shocked in her heart, but her face turned red like a delicious red apple that one could not help but take a bite of. She lowered her head in embarrassment. If she had known that Zheng Zeyi had just finished showering, she would not have knocked on the door at this time. Moreover, he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Where had he seen it before? ¡°Looking for me to drink tea?¡± Zheng ze saidzily as he dried his hair. He squinted his eyes slightly, turned around, and walked into the room. His long legs strode across the room, and Joes was worried that the bath towel would fall off. However, he was obviously thinking too much. It looked loose, but it was actually very tight. ¡°Yeah, but you don¡¯t seem to be free. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Joes looked away and was about to run away when she was stopped by someone. ¡°Wait,¡± A maic voice rang out. Qiao si turned her head and saw Zheng Zeyi, who was in a bathrobe. She said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi entered the apartment opposite her as if he was at home. Joes was a little stunned and quickly chased after him,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi! Isn¡¯t it inappropriate for you to drink tea in a bathrobe?¡± Unfortunately, when a certain someone heard this, he still did not turn his head. Left with no choice, joesse could only close the door for him and return to her own home to swallow her grievances. In the apartment. On the sofa in the living room, Zheng Zeyi was lying on a soft pillow, his well-defined hand holding a teacup. The teacup was filled with steaming hot tea, and the fragrance it emitted was fresh and natural. On the other side, Jossi was sitting at the other corner of the sofa. If there was not only one sofa, she would have buried herself in it. After all, the atmosphere in the living room was a little strange. Zheng ze was only wearing a white bathrobe, and his hair was not even dried. However, it was no longer dripping water. It was almost dry. His side profile was exquisite and extremely seductive. ¡°Gulp gulp gulp ...¡± Joes¡¯s heartbeat was a little abnormal. She took a deep breath, picked up the teacup, and poured the tea into her mouth. Chapter 200 - I’ve been short of money recently

Chapter 200: I¡¯ve been short of money recently

¡°Cough cough!¡± The next second, Joes started coughing uncontrobly. The tea was very hot. She didn¡¯t think much and drank it directly, burning her tongue. The teacup was ced on the table. Joes stuck out her tongue and blew on it. It was so hot that her tears were about toe out. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly. He picked up the empty cup on the table and poured a ss of water. He held Joes¡¯s hand and stuffed the nket into her hand, saying,¡±¡±Take a sip. Be careful next time.¡± Her words of concern stunned everyone. Joes stared at the erged face in front of her in a daze, as well as the hot breath on her face. It was as if the ces that had been scalded earlier did not hurt anymore. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. A momentter, Joes responded, her voice as soft as a mosquito. She took the water and took a big gulp. Only then did she feel much better from the burning throat and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows. Joes shook her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine now. Thank you. ¡± ...... Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi did not answer. Instead, he sat back on the sofa and took a sip of tea. His every move carried a natural aristocratic temperament, as if it was supposed to be like this. Joes pursed her lips and took a look, then retracted her gaze. She could not help but doubt herself. Why was it that every time she met Zheng Zeyi, she was like a little wife who did not know what to say? This doubt appeared in her mind, but she could not find the answer. The LCD TV was ying a financial channel, and the continuous words that came out interrupted Jossi¡¯s thoughts, clearing her mind a little. The finance channel ... Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she decided to change the topic. The current atmosphere was too awkward. The air was filled with love and countless pink bubbles. However, in her opinion, such a situation was not suitable for her and Zheng Zeyi. ¡°By the way, Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯d like to ask, what are your thoughts on the cooperation that you mentioned?¡± Joes asked. When it came to work, her mood was much better and she was not as helpless as before. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng ze nced at her with his good-looking eyes and his thin lips moved.¡±¡±Thepany is already making preparations for the cooperation. If there are no idents, it will be a cooperation with Xing Yuan to develop in the jewelry design industry together. You can understand what I¡¯m saying, right?¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Joes nodded her head. However, even though she said that, it would still be difficult to implement it. The Zheng Corporation did not have any experience in jewelry design before, so they could only rely on Xing Yuan design for the time being. It could only be said that there were pros and cons, and it all depended on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s choice. What Joes did not know was that he had no intention of entering the jewelry design industry at all. It was just an excuse. The real purpose ... Was her. ¡°President Qiao.¡± Zheng Zeyi suddenly said, and he even addressed the extremely distant President Qiao. Joes raised her head, her eyes filled with doubt as she asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Do you have something to say?¡± ¡°There is.¡± There was a smile in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes, as if there were stars in them. How could there not be any? He had put in so much effort to enter the jewelry design industry and even invested capital for only one purpose. ¡°After the capital injection, I might visit Xingyuan design frequently. I hope you don¡¯t mind, President Qiao,¡± Zheng Zeyi said. His final tone was somewhat thought-provoking. Naturally, Joes also noticed it and pursed her lips. In her opinion, this was quite normal. Since they had injected capital, they were the investors of thepany. No one would say anything if they came to thepany to check out the situation. Most importantly, no one dared to say anything. Zheng Zeyi was the president of the leadingpany, the Zheng Corporation. As long as it did not involve her principles, Qiao si would not want to offend him. ¡°Sure, no problem.¡± After some thought, joesse agreed readily, causing Zheng Zeyi to smile in satisfaction. The two of them chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. ¡°Buzz.¡± Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and the screen lit up, showing that he had received a call. Joes turned around and saw that it was her own phone. The number was an unknown number and was not saved. Who was it? Looking at this scene, joesse frowned. She wanted to hang up immediately, but after some thought, she still picked it up. ¡°Hello?¡± After saying that, the sound of rapid breathing could be heard from the other end of the phone. A familiar voice sounded,¡±Sisi, it¡¯s me. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Upon hearing this voice, joesse¡¯s expression changed and instantly darkened. Even her grip on her phone tightened, showing how angry she was. This voice ... How could she forget it? It was impossible for him to forget it in this lifetime! After a long time, joesse¡¯s expression finally calmed down. It was not worth sulking over someone who had nothing to do with her. ¡°Sisi, can you hear me?¡± A suspicious voice sounded from the other end of the phone again, and it sounded a little tentative. That¡¯s right, the person on the other end of the phone was Qiao sisi¡¯s family member, Qiao Feng. After a year, this was the first time they had changed Joes¡¯s phone number. Thinking of this, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little suspicious. After returning from abroad, she had already changed her phone number. But why did Qiao Feng still know? He even called her now. Could it be that there was some secret behind this? All sorts of doubts surfaced in her heart, but she could not get an answer now. Qiao sisi was not prepared to ask, as Qiao Feng would not tell her. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Joes¡¯s voice was cold as she spoke. She wasn¡¯t in the mood to waste her breath on such a vampire. Hearing this, Qiao Fengughed awkwardly. He no longer had the arrogance of the head of the family. ¡°It¡¯s like this, sisi,¡± he coughed twice and said,¡±it¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been short of money recently. I don¡¯t know if you have any ...¡± Before he could finish, Jossi interrupted him,¡±¡±No, I didn ¡®t!¡± Sure enough, he was here for money. Joes¡¯s eyes were cold, and her expression was a little colder. Zheng ze, who was watching from the side, seemed to be deep in thought, but he did not interrupt her. ¡°Qiao Feng, even if you did that to mest time, I should have given you the allowance once every six months, right? I don¡¯t understand, what kind of money do you want from me? use my money to support your group of outrageous people? You might as well keep dreaming!¡± Joesughed coldly, her words were merciless. If it was in the past, she might have been soft-hearted, after all, Qiao Feng was her only remaining blood-rted rtive. However, after Liu Yun¡¯s attempt to cheat her of her money and the fact that she had tried to sell her to someone else, she waspletely disappointed in them. Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Top-grade family

If after all that had happened, Joes was still willing to fork out her own money to support them, then she would be a Saint! Sorry, she didn¡¯t like to return good for evil. ¡°Sisi, you can¡¯t say that. I¡¯m your biological father after all. I¡¯m just asking you for some money. You won¡¯t refuse to give it to me, right?¡± Qiao Fengughed in embarrassment. He had no intention of giving up. Upon hearing that, Joes¡¯s voice turned even colder,¡±¡±Don¡¯t look for me in the future, I don¡¯t have money!¡± After he finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but an anxious voice came from the other end. ¡°Wait, sisi, don¡¯t hang up!¡± This time, it was her stepmother, Liu Yun, who spoke. Joes could remember her voice even more clearly. It was after this woman¡¯s appearance that the Qiao family had be so unfamiliar. ¡°Speak,¡± he said. Joes said impatiently. On the other end, Liu Yun and Qiao Feng whispered a few words to each other, but they could not hear what they were talking about clearly over the phone. However, she vaguely heard two words,¡±Yingying wants money.¡± A vampire! Not long after, Liu Yun picked up the phone and said,¡±¡±Sisi, your father was forced to do so. Our family has been struggling to make ends meet. ...... Why don¡¯t you just give us some money and treat it as a loan?¡± ¡°Lend it to you? Do you have any? Liu Yun, don¡¯t treat everyone like idiots. Do you think I¡¯m still the joesse you could lie to?¡± After she said that clearly, joesse hung up the phone without any mercy. She had thought that Liu Yun woulde up with something, but it turned out to be nothing more than this. ¡°Hey ... Hey!¡± When Liu Yun heard the toot sound from the phone, she was so angry that she threw the phone on the table. Her face was twisted, and her breathing became rapid. Her eyes were extremely vicious. ¡°This little B * tch, does she really think we don¡¯t know that she¡¯s hooked up with a rich man? she¡¯s not even willing to give us some money, pfft!¡± Liu Yun spat on the ground as if Jossi was standing there. At this time, Qiao Feng said,¡±¡±Are you sure what that woman told me was true? sisi has really found herself a rich man?¡± ¡°How could it be fake? just listen to the confidence in her words. She¡¯s just a B * tch who¡¯s kept as a mistress, yet she¡¯s still so arrogant!¡± The moment she thought about what had just happened, Liu Yun was so angry that she wanted to tear Joss apart. However, there were only the Qiao family members in front of her. No matter how much she hated them, she could only swallow her anger. ¡°You¡¯re right. She¡¯s already with a rich man, but she doesn¡¯t even know how to pay for her family¡¯s expenses. What an unfilial daughter.¡± Qiao Feng cursed as well. He hadpletely forgotten what he had done to Qiao sisi. From his point of view, since he was the child¡¯s father, jos¨¦ should support him and tolerate him unconditionally. Why didn¡¯t he think about where he got such a big face from? Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was standing beside him, said,¡±¡±Dad, mom, we can¡¯t just let Jossi off like this, right? Last time, she almost sent us to the detention center and even asked us topensate her. We must get it back with interest!¡± At this point, Liu Yun¡¯s eyes lit up and she agreed,¡±Hai ¡®er is right. Since that little B * tch is so rich now, why don¡¯t we ...¡± He said. Liu Yun chuckled, her eyes filled with malice. Jossi was nothing to her. She felt that she was already on a higher social status by being an ATM. A smile appeared on Qiao Lei¡¯s face, as if he could see his scoundrel friends fawning over him after he became rich. ¡°Dad! Mom is right, we don¡¯t have any money at home now. Joesse is part of the Qiao family, she has the responsibility to give us money!¡± Qiao Lei said casually, his eyes shining as if he had already received the money. Since his family had said so, Qiao Feng naturally would not refute them. Moreover, he knew that the family was in a depressed state now. Since joesse had managed to hook up with a rich man, it was only right for her to give her money! ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll call that womanter and say we agree.¡± Qiao Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of greed. In the Qiao family, which was full of outrageous family members, they could not wait to squeeze Jossi dry! ¡°Alright!¡± Liu Yun said with a smile. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other hand, joesse was temporarily unaware of what had happened in the Qiao family. After she hung up, she ced her phone on the table without even looking at it. He was in a good mood at first, but when he heard the disgusting voices of those people, his good mood was ruined. The finance channel was still ying, and the sound was particrly loud in the room. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi raised his brows. The smile on his face gradually disappeared as if it had never appeared. Even though he did not hear what the other party had said, he could make a guess based on Joes¡¯s answer. It was probably that group of vampire family members who hade to his wife to ask for money! At the thought of this, a cold glint shed across Zheng ze¡¯s eyes. He had really let those people go for too long. Their appetites were getting bigger and bigger. It had already been a year, but he was still lingering around. It seemed like he had to find a chance to get rid of those people. Zheng ze squinted his eyes as a sense of danger rose in him. The next moment, he picked up the teacup on the table and passed it to Joris, who was sitting by the side. The tea in the cup had already cooled down, but he could still feel the warmth from the cup. ¡°Drink some tea to moisten your throat.¡± With a smile, Zheng Zeyi stuffed the cup into joesse¡¯s hands. ¡°You ...¡± Upon hearing that, Joes was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she was met with a pair of dazed eyes. Under the soft and bright light in the living room, it looked even more intoxicating. Initially, she did not want to take the cup of tea. However, when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze, she took it without thinking. Not only that, he even picked up the cup and took a sip. As the cool tea entered his stomach, the emotions he had just felt dissipated like smoke. After drinking the tea, Qiao sisi¡¯s mood was much better, and even the way she looked at Zheng Zeyi softened. ¡°Then, thank you for the tea.¡± She said with a smile. The teacup in his hand was already empty, with only a few scattered tea leaves left at the bottom of the cup. There was still tea in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s teacup, and he had not finished it. After listening to joesse¡¯s words, he chuckled and raised the teacup in his hand.¡±¡±I still have some here, do you want it?¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes became a little wanton, as if there was a vortex in them. When Joes heard this, she looked at the teacup in his hand and her mouth twitched. If she really drank the cup of tea in his hand, would it be considered an indirect kiss? It seemed to be so. Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Call and ask again

With this thought in mind, the look in Joes¡¯s eyes changed. Some memories that had been sealed away in his mind began to resurface. She ... Seemed to have kissed Zheng Zeyi before. Recalling what had happened a year ago, Jossi¡¯s face turned slightly red. She poured herself a ss of water and gulped it down. It was also to prevent Zheng ze from finding out about her unusual behavior, and to avoid beingughed at. She didn¡¯t know that a certain someone was observing her every move and had long seen through her restless actions. ¡°Sisi.¡± A teasing voice was heard. Joes had just put down her teacup when she was forced to face a handsome face. The Starry Eyes were right in front of her, and she couldn¡¯t react in time. In the next second, her pink lips had a soft touch. ¡°Wuuu ...¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes widened, and it was as if fireworks had exploded in her mind, taking her a long time to regain her senses. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to do this! ...... A light Pecknded on their lips. Zheng ze took a sip and separated their lips with a satisfied smile. After a year, they finally met. Joes also reacted, her expression turning from embarrassment to anger. She could not help but say angrily,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing!¡± Zheng Zeyi raised an eyebrow and smiled.¡±¡±Don¡¯t think too much, I just want you to calm down. Look, isn¡¯t your attention now on me?¡± ¡°What kind of logic is this!¡± Jossi red at him, still a little angry. Her chest heaved up and down. This was a hooligan! She had thought that Zheng ze had changed, but it turned out to be her illusion. If this guy¡¯s personality could change, she, Joes, would not have the surname ¡®jou¡¯! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Joes immediately stood up from the sofa and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I¡¯m going to rest. You should leave now.¡± Rest? Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes flickered slightly, and his smile deepened. It seemed like he was really angry. Hmm ... It was more serious than he had imagined. ¡°President Qiao, are you going to rest so soon? It¡¯s only four in the afternoon. You haven¡¯t had dinner, have you?¡± Zheng zeughed without restraint. Hearing this, joesse was even angrier. Anger welled up in her heart, and she looked at him with anger in her eyes. ¡°I said I¡¯m going to rest. President Zheng, don¡¯t you understand me? Or do you not want to leave and want to be alone with me?¡± Joes said each and every word clearly, her eyes shing with a strange light. She finally understood that the atmosphere was always so weird whenever she was with Zheng Zeyi. This guy didn¡¯t have any good intentions at all! Zheng Zeyi replied with an ¡°Oh¡± and dragged out thest syble, making one¡¯s heart feel numb. ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, it seems that it¡¯s not appropriate for me to stay. However, I might need to think about the capital injection.¡± Zheng ze stood up after he finished speaking, his tonezy. Joes pursed her red lips and gritted her teeth in anger. After a moment, she could not help but say,¡±¡±President Zheng, are you threatening me?¡± She no longer addressed Zheng Zeyi as President Zheng. It was better to address him as President Zheng, as it would make her feel distant enough. Seeing that she was really angry, Zheng ze nced at her and immediately changed his words.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t say that. President Qiao, don¡¯t overthink it. I¡¯ll leave now, and we can talk about the capital injectionter. ¡± He smiled and strolled out of Joes¡¯s apartment. His eyes seemed to be filled with reluctance. However, Joes could not wait for him to leave. After she saw him leave, she immediately closed the door without mercy. She leaned against the door, her fingers resting on her red lips, as if there was still a touch of warmth there. After a long while, Jossi mumbled,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, what is he trying to do?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The atmosphere on Qiao SI¡¯s side was ambiguous, while on the other side, the Qiao family was putting in a lot of effort to set her up. Liu Yun¡¯s hand remained on the phone for a while, but she was still hesitant. ¡°This woman wouldn¡¯t lie to us again, would she?¡± After hearing this, Qiao Feng was silent for two seconds. He did not know what to say. As early as a year ago, their family had left their hometown because of the words of the woman on the phone, Yang Yue Yue. They were going to city h to ask Jossi for money. They heard that she had hooked up with a rich man. However, when Qiao Feng and the others arrived, the building was already empty. Qiao sisi had already left the country at that time, so Qiao Feng and the rest did not manage to find her in city h, let alone ask for money. He had wasted the road fee. It was because of this that they all thought that Yang Yue Yue was lying, let alone taking the initiative to contact her. Yang Yue Yue was also very busy with the matters at the guardhouse, so she didn¡¯t have the time to care about this greedy family. A yearter, Jossi returned to city h and met her at a 5s shop. Yang Yue Yue had suffered a loss, so she naturally wouldn¡¯t let her off so easily. In addition to the fact that she had been exposed previously, she no longer wanted to do it herself. Instead, she called Qiao Feng¡¯s family anonymously so that they could go to city h to look for Qiao sisi and disrupt her life. If Qiao sisi was unhappy, then Yang Yue Yue would be happy! ¡°Just give it a try, mom. It¡¯s not a good thing to be cowering. It¡¯s fine even if you don¡¯t get a rich man. The person who answered the phone just now was Jossi. Looking at the address, she has indeed returned to city H. This time, I¡¯m going to make her spit out all her money!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said fiercely. After what happened thest time, she found Jossi even more unpleasant to the eye. Rich? Bah! Jossi was just amoner, no one would be interested in her. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. Liu Yun hesitated for a while before gritting her teeth and making up her mind.¡±Alright, then we¡¯ll call and ask.¡± After saying that, she picked up her phone and dialed a familiar number. ¡°Tutu.¡± Soon, the call went through, and a female voice came from the other end. It was Yang Yue Yue¡¯s voice,¡±¡±Hello?¡± Then, she seemed to have understood something and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re Jossi¡¯s family, right? why ... Have you thought it through?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s lips curled into a smile. It seemed like there was still room for change. To Joes, this group of vampires ¡®family members would probably give her a headache for half a day. ¡°Yes, miss. Thest time you mentioned it, we also went to city H. But when we went, that girl had already left.¡± Liu Yun was a little apprehensive. She wasn¡¯t a fool. Since the person on the phone could find their phone number, it meant that he had some ability. Not only that, but she also knew where Joes was. Chapter 203

Chapter 203: It¡¯s really strange

After Jossi returned to city h, this woman immediately called them and asked them to look for Jossi. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be any problems this time. If you go, I¡¯ll give you a sum of money. Moreover, your daughter has hooked up with a rich man. If she goes, would she dare to say no? You¡¯ll still be Living a Good Life. ¡± Yang Yue Yue sneered. Meanwhile, Liu Yun¡¯s eyes lit up, and she waspletely focused on the problem of transferring money. In this case, the road fee was not a problem at all. The Qiao family did not have much spare money now. ¡°You¡¯re right. We¡¯ll leave for city h tomorrow. Miss ... The money you¡¯re talking about?¡± Liu Yun could not help but rub her hands together. A greedy expression appeared on her face, and she didn¡¯t want to let go of either. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll call you guyster.¡± Yang Yue Yue said impatiently. If it wasn¡¯t for Jossi, she wouldn¡¯t have bothered with this group of people. After Liu Yun heard this, she immediately put on a ttering smile and said in a ttering tone,¡±Alright, then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, miss. I won¡¯t disturb you any longer.¡± The call was hung up. Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had been watching anxiously, said,¡±¡±Mom, what did she say? They¡¯ll even send us money?¡± ¡°Yes, Mom, what did that woman say?¡± Qiao Lei was also a little anxious. ...... Liu Yun¡¯s smile was bright as she said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you guys, that woman said that if we continue to look for Jossi, she¡¯ll transfer us a sum of money!¡± ¡°A sum of money?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei both eximed in shock. Even Qiao Feng was surprised.¡±¡±Yun, is what you said true? She¡¯ll give it to us as long as we go to city h? Did he say how much he¡¯ll give?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t said that yet. She seems to be a rich family¡¯s daughter. She shouldn¡¯t be stingy.¡± Liu Yun licked her lips. The thought of earning a sum of money in a while made her feel even more excited. Before the crowd could ask any more questions, Qiao Feng¡¯s phone rang with a notification. It seemed to be a message from the bank. So fast? The money was in his ount? Everyone¡¯s breathing began to Quicken, and they couldn¡¯t help but look at the mobile phones in their pockets. ¡°It should be ... The money has been transferred.¡± Qiao Feng couldn¡¯t help butugh, then took out the phone from his pocket. That woman was so powerful that she even knew their bank ount numbers in just a short while. Several people¡¯s eyes were focused on the mobile phone, and they were extremely anxious to see the number of the ount transfer on the mobile phone. ¡°Quickly take a look, dad!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°Good ... Good!¡± Hearing this, Qiao Feng quickly turned on his phone and saw the 20000 Yuan in his ount. It wasn¡¯t a lot, but it wasn¡¯t little either. After the number was revealed, the few people¡¯s interest dropped a little. They had thought that they had received a lot. In the end, it was only 20000 Yuan. ¡°Tsk, I thought that woman would be generous. 20000 Yuan ... Tsk tsk.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er rolled her eyes. Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed.¡±Forget it, 20000 Yuan is still money, just take it as the road fee. Bring the rest of the things in the house and head to city h tomorrow to look for that little B * tch, Jossi. I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t get anything out of her!¡± Towards the end, Liu Yun¡¯s tone turned into one of anger as she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. Evidently, Joes¡¯s actionsst time had left a deep impression on them. Not only did he not earn the 200000 Yuan bonus, but he also lost a lot of money! Every time she thought of this, Liu Yun would be filled with hatred. ¡°Yes!¡± Qiao Feng nodded and said,¡±book the tickets. We¡¯re going to city h tomorrow!¡± The family that had been eyeing Joes covetously was now nning how to gain more benefits from her. And she waspletely unaware of all this. ¡­¡­¡­ On the second day. Joes did not know how she fell asleepst night. She seemed to be watching the finance channel in the living room. In the end, she fell asleep on the sofa. ¡°It¡¯sfortable,¡± Joes had azy expression on her face. After stretching her back, she felt her entire body rx and took a deep breath. He took a look at the time. It was almost seven in the morning. After setting up the Xing Yuan designpany, joesse had developed a biological clock that would wake her up at a fixed time. It was Seveno¡¯ clock, and it was time to leave for thepany. After putting on her clothes, joesse took her keys and was about to leave the apartment. The moment she opened the door, she saw a bag of things on the ground. It was still emitting hot air and a rich fragrance. This is ... Breakfast? In that instant, joesse was stunned on the spot. She looked left and right, but did not see anyone who had left breakfast behind. It seemed like they had already left. So who left this breakfast for her? ¡°That¡¯s strange. Are they neighbors?¡± Joes mumbled, but she could not let the breakfast be left on the floor, so she reached out to pick it up. Inside the bag was a cup of warm soy milk and two meat buns. There was also a note with three bold and powerful words written on it: Good Morning. After seeing these three words, she more or less knew who had delivered the breakfast. It was impossible for them to be neighbors. Jossi had just moved in yesterday and did not know anyone around her. She didn¡¯t know if the Zheng family had bought the entire building, so she rarely saw anyone else. Logically speaking, this kind of apartment should be in high demand. Therefore, there was only one possibility left. Joesse raised her eyebrows and her gaze fell on the door opposite her. It was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment. There was no one else other than him. At that moment, Joes did not know what to say. She heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. No matter what, since he had brought her breakfast, she had to express her gratitude. As she thought of this, she took a few steps forward with breakfast and knocked on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± After she was done knocking, Joes stood at the door and said,¡±¡±President Zheng ... Thank you for breakfast.¡± After a long time, there was no reply from inside. It seemed that he had already left. Then, he could only find an opportunity to repay her. Joes made up her mind and left the apartment with breakfast. She finished her breakfast while driving. It was the peak period in the morning, so the road was full of cars. Coincidentally, there was a traffic jam again. ¡°Toot ...¡± From time to time, a loud horn sounded on the road, urging the car in front. Joes watched the traffic light in front of her as she swallowed thest bite of the bun in her mouth. At this moment, the phone that was ced at the side suddenly vibrated. There was an iing call. Chapter 204

Chapter 204: The fashion show I told you aboutst time

It was still early at the traffic light ahead. Joes picked up her phone and saw the tworge words ¡°Miley¡± on the screen. Could it be that something had happened? Recalling what she had instructed Millie to do, joesse raised her eyebrows and picked up the phone.¡±¡±Millie, what happened?¡± On the other end of the line, Miley picked up the phone and said,¡±¡±President, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted me to talk to you about President Xu? Boss Xu hase to thepany and is waiting in the guest room. He wants to talk about cooperation, so I called you. ¡± Upon hearing this, joesse¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She still remembered very clearly what President Xu had said to her after the auction. Regarding the coboration with the fashion show, Qiao sisi was determined to get it. Since President Xu had taken a fancy to Xing Yuan design, thepany would definitely not let him down. ¡°Okay, help me tell boss Xu that I¡¯ll be at thepany in five minutes. Take good care of him.¡± Joes said with a smile. Millie also heaved a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.¡±¡±Yes, President. Don¡¯t worry.¡± After the call, joesse put her phone aside. At this moment, the red light in front turned green. The cars started to move forward, and she slowly stepped on the gas. As long as they could secure this cooperation, Xing Yuan design would definitely be able to take it to the next level. ...... Joes¡¯s mind waspletely upied by her career. As for a certain someone who bought her breakfast, she had long forgotten about him. At the moment, he was in his office and almost had no time to worry about his career. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows slightly, and a sense of danger appeared between his brows. This feeling was as if there was a dagger at his back. Assistant li was shocked for a moment, but he quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Yes, President. The family has already set off and will arrive in city h in the afternoon.¡± ¡°So fast ...¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a yful smile. They were talking about Qiao si SI¡¯s outrageous family. After saying that she wanted to buy tickets yesterday, she acted very quickly and bought tickets for today¡¯s flight to city H. It was a train ticket, and they would reach city h in the afternoon. ¡°President, do you think we should get rid of them?¡± Assistant Li¡¯s tone was a little tentative. He really couldn¡¯t figure out his CEO¡¯s personality. After hearing this, Zheng Zeyi nced at him indifferently.¡±¡±We¡¯re not from the underworld. Don¡¯t let me hear you say such things again.¡± Assistant li was stunned for a moment. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and quickly said,¡±¡±...Yes.¡± ¡°Let theme, but remember to pay attention to any movements at all times. If there¡¯s anything, let me know at any time, understand?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was low and determined. His well-defined hand held the pen and kept spinning it. If assistant li raised his head and saw his CEO¡¯s expression, he would know that he was really angry. ¡°Yes, President!¡± Assistant li lowered his head and replied. Zheng ze knew that Qiao sisi had a strong personality, so he was prepared to get rid of Qiao Feng¡¯s family. However, after thinking about it, he decided to leave it to joesse. After all, he was her enemy. Perhaps it would be more satisfying if she settled it herself. However, his men would also keep an eye on Qiao Feng and the others at all times, in case they did anything behind their backs. Qiao Feng and his family were not good people. ¡­¡­¡­ Xing Yuan designpany. Joes waspletely unaware of all these. If she knew about this, she would probably have a headache. Five minutes had passed, and the ck BMW finally arrived at the underground garage designed by Xing Yuan. After alighting from the car, Joes immediately walked towards the elevator. It did not take long for them to reach the third floor, which was the floor where the president¡¯s office and the reception room were. Millie had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw them, she was delighted.¡±President, you¡¯re finally here.¡± ¡°Yes, the reception room on the left, right?¡± Joesughed and walked with a strong aura. ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie nodded and watched her enter the guest room before she left. As the president¡¯s personal assistant, Miley still had a lot of things to do. He pushed open the door of the reception room. The interior decoration was simple and Grand. There was a white office desk and two sofas. At this moment, as soon as she entered the door, she saw President Xu sitting on the sofa and drinking tea. There was another cup of tea on the table. It was obviously freshly brewed, and it was still emitting a faint heat. ¡°Boss Xu.¡± Joes revealed a smile and sat opposite the sofa in her high heels. She didn¡¯t pick up the teacup, but looked at President Xu with a smile. When President Xu saw that they had arrived, he smiled and slowly put down his teacup.¡±¡±President Qiao, long time no see.¡± It had been a few days since the auction. It was these few days that made President Xu even more determined to cooperate with Xing Yuan design to hold this fashion show. He had secretly investigated Joes¡¯s background and found that she seemed like an ordinary person. He had an ordinary family background and ordinary connections. Until she met Zheng Zeyi one day, the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. From then on, her life began to go smoothly. Oh, right ... There was also the CEO of Hengyuan investment, Chen zuolin. Only God knew how surprised President Xu was when he saw this information. The Presidents of two leadingpanies in the business world had changed because of a woman. At the thought of this, he was even more wary of Joes. A woman who could make two big bosses like her was definitely not as simple as she looked. Cooperation was fine, but other things were better off. It had to be said that this President Xu had really thought a lot. Qiao si si had no other intentions towards him. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time,¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with a smile. Upon seeing this, President Xu no longer hid his purpose and said directly,¡±¡±President Qiao, I¡¯ll be Frank then. The purpose of my visit this time is the fashion show I told you aboutst time. I haven¡¯t told you a lot of details about the fashion show, so I¡¯vee this time. ¡± Joes nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Then, she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, saying,¡±¡±Boss Xu, it¡¯s Xing Yuan design¡¯s honor that you¡¯vee to work with us on a fashion show.¡± ¡°President Qiao, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s also because Xing Yuan design is strong. Otherwise, I would also look for other partners.¡± President Xu directlyplimented Xing Yuan design, and his words were full of praise. Joes was not a fool and naturally knew what he meant. In fact, it had nothing to do with Xing Yuan¡¯s ability in designing. Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 the three forces

The main reason was probably because Chen zuolin was behind Xing Yuan design. Otherwise, President Xu would not have looked for Xing Yuan to cooperate. In the jewelry design industry, there were many high-end jewelry designpanies in addition to Xingyuan design. In terms of strength, it was better to go to Shiyupany. But why did he still choose the star Yuan design in the end? It was not unrted to the power behind him. Joes gave a faint smile, but no one could tell what she was feeling. ¡°Then, boss Xu, we can talk about the cooperation now,¡± she said after a moment. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After hearing this, President Xu took out two documents and two contracts from the briefcase and ced them on the table. These four documents were all about the fashion show. One was the details of the cooperation, and the other was the contract that needed to be signed. The cooperation betweenpanies also ced great importance on this. President Xu pushed the document containing the details of the cooperation forward to Qiao si and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, you can take a look at this document first.¡± ¡°Then let me take a look. I¡¯ll have to trouble you, boss Xu.¡± Joes took the document and opened it to read. It contained the details of the fashion show. ...... At the same time, President Xu did not stay idle and exined to her. The fashion show this time was jointly organized by the Xupany and a foreign fashionpany, and it set off a wave in the fashion circle. It also attracted the attention of many people, and everyone was looking forward to the fashion show. He had also invited a few famous magazine publishers. When the fashion show was held, he would be able to enter the magazine. It could be said that everything was prepared. The clothing department was handed over to Chen Anna¡¯spany, while Joes pany was in charge of jewelry design. Giving it to some models was the finishing touch. After reading the document, Jossi had a better understanding of the fashion show. In addition to President Xu¡¯s exnation, it became more clear. ¡°President Xu is indeed a talent. Shangxiu will definitely be a sess.¡± Joes could not help but praise. After hearing this, President Xuughed and took the other contract, which was the most important one. Only after signing the contract could their partnership be considered real. Since then, Xing Yuan design and the Xu Corporation had established a good cooperative rtionship. ¡°Okay, let me take a look. If there¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll sign it.¡± Joes revealed a faint smile. She picked up the document and flipped to the first page with her fair fingers. She read through all the terms and conditions of the contract. It¡¯s pretty decent, and the design of the star essence is not bad. After reading thest page, Joes raised her eyebrows and smiled.¡±Boss Xu, I¡¯ve finished reading the contract. There are no problems. I don¡¯t have any objections either. In that case, can we just decide on it directly?¡± This contract was already very good, and it could be seen that President Xu was also sincere in cooperating with Xing Yuan design. That¡¯s right, Xing Yuan was indeed just a newpany. Other than the auction, it didn¡¯t make any big moves. However, he had Hengyuan¡¯s investment and even Zheng¡¯spany¡¯s investment in the near future. His future was limitless. His achievements would definitely not be low. If not for this, President Xu would not be so determined to cooperate with Xing Yuan design. He wanted to use this opportunity to build a connection. Perhaps he could even make Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin see him in a different light. That would be an unexpected surprise. President Xu¡¯s eyes lit up and his smile deepened.¡±¡±President Qiao, of course you can.¡± The two of them didn¡¯t dy. After deciding, they signed their and theirpany¡¯s names on the contract. At this point, Xingyuan design and the Xu Corporation were considered partners. President Xu was in an extremely good mood. He reached out his hand and said in a happy tone,¡±¡±President Qiao, it¡¯s a pleasure working with you.¡± ¡°Happy cooperation!¡± Qiao si shook President Xu¡¯s hand, also very satisfied with this cooperation. Half a month to prepare for designing and making jewelry was a little tight, but she believed in thepany¡¯s designers. Lin ya and Wang Li were both experienced designers, so they might be able to surprise her this time. After dealing with the contract, President Xu had no intention of staying any longer. He still had some things to deal with at thepany. After all, apart from jewelry design, he also had to pay attention to the cooperation between fashion designpanies. Upon seeing this, Joes also stood up to send him off. Suddenly, she recalled something and could not help but ask,¡±¡±President Xu, I still don¡¯t know your name.¡± From the start of the banquet until now, she still didn¡¯t know what President Xu¡¯s real name was. Qiao si si had not done any research on thepany and had only looked through the information on the Xu family¡¯spany, which had a good reputation. President Xu stopped and said with a smile,¡±¡±President Qiao, my name is Xu Xian.¡± ¡°Jossi.¡± After learning the name, Joes nodded slightly and reported her own name. After greeting each other, President Xu politely refused her offer to send him off and walked straight to the elevator, leaving Xing Yuan design. After the coboration was finally settled, Joes did not idle around and immediately informed the employees in thepany. He also discussed the style and details with Lin ya and the others. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sisi. It¡¯ll be fine.¡± Lin ya raised her eyebrows, looking confident. Joes could not help butugh,¡±¡±I¡¯m relieved to hear you say that. ¡± Wang Li was also quite confident in the design n this time. The two of them immediately started to get busy. This included the other designers who were working on it. On the other hand, joesse had returned to her office. Just as she was preparing to draw up her design drafts, she received a call from assistant li. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. ¡°President Qiao, our President asked me to talk to you about the capital injection,¡± said assistant li on the other end of the phone. Are you free today, President Qiao? if you are, why don¡¯t you go to xing Yuan design to discuss some rted matters?¡± Capital injection! Joes pursed her lips slightly, but a smile appeared in her eyes. She had suddenly recalled this matter. If Zheng ze became a shareholder of Xing Yuan design, he would be one of the major shareholders in the future. She, Zheng Zeyi, and Chen zuolin were the three main forces? For some reason, this thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Joes hurriedly shook her head to get rid of this thought. Now was not the time to think about this. It was better to settle Zheng Zeyi¡¯s capital injection first. ¡°I have time, but I still have to ask President Chen about this. If you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll contact President Zhengter.¡± Joes said. Chapter 206

Chapter 206: I don¡¯t need to say more

¡°Okay, President Qiao.¡± Assistant li had no objections. Of course, he didn¡¯t dare to have any opinions. He would just do as his President doted on her. After hanging up the phone, joesse told Chen zuolin about this matter. However, she did not receive a reply for the time being. He should be in a meeting ... Joes drew her design while waiting. She only received a reply after about ten minutes. Chen zuolin naturally didn¡¯t have any objections to this matter. In fact, it was a good thing for her to have another investor in Xing Yuan design. However, the investor was Zheng Zeyi, which made Chen zuolin a little dissatisfied. Just as Jossi was about to reply, the other party called her. She picked it up. ¡°C-c-c-c-CEO Qiao.¡± Chen zuolin said awkwardly. He wanted to change the way he addressed her. After all, calling her President Qiao still felt a little distant. However, he was worried that Joes would feel awkward if he changed his words so suddenly, so he changed his words in the end. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, President Chen?¡± Joes asked, slightly confused.¡±Is there a problem with the investment?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just called to tell you. In the future, you can decide on such things. You don¡¯t have to tell me. ¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s voice was low. ...... Upon hearing this, joesse could not help but freeze. She stared at her phone for a long time before she blinked and came back to her senses. She didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. Chen zuolin, what did he mean? Jossi pursed her lips and said awkwardly,¡±¡±This ... President Chen, this is not a small matter after all. You¡¯re also a major shareholder of Xing Yuan design. I definitely had to tell you if someone wanted to invest. Besides, you¡¯re my benefactor, so it¡¯s fine as long as you don¡¯t mind the trouble. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she chuckled, her voice as clear as a wind chime. Theughter immediately lifted Chen zuolin¡¯s mood, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Ever since he got to know Jossi, he had been smiling more and more. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I said it. You can decide on the matter of star dors. ¡± Chen zuolin smiled. ¡°This ...¡± Joesse was in a difficult position. On the other end of the phone, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t care too much. After the matter was settled, he greeted them. ¡°I still have something to deal with here, so I can¡¯t tell you for the time being.¡± After saying that, Joes sighed in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. ¡°Okay, President Chen,¡± she nodded after a while.¡±I¡¯ll contact you again if there¡¯s anything.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After that, the two of them hung up the phone, and a toot sound came from the phone. Joes ced her phone to the side, thinking about what Chen zuolin had said about not telling him. Although that was what he said, she couldn¡¯t possibly do as he said. After all, Chen zuolin was the one who had established Xing Yuan design. Not only had he invested in thepany, but he had also sent many experienced employees. Which newpany would have such treatment? In any case, joesse had never heard of him before. Thus, Chen zuolin was the major shareholder of thepany, and also the boss in her mind. It would be weird if he didn¡¯t say anything about such a big thing. After clearing her mind, Qiao si sent a text message to Zheng Zeyi, asking if the capital injection could be carried out tomorrow. It would take some time to draft the contract. Of course, Zheng Zeyi had no objections and replied with an ¡®okay¡¯. After seeing this message, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. For the next few hours, she had been busy with the design of the fashion show in thepany and had no time to care about anything else. She had no idea that someone had already arrived in city H. At this moment, she was nning to look for her and ask for a huge sum of money. ¡­¡­¡­ City h¡¯s train station. A family of people pushing their luggage walked out of the train station. It was Qiao Feng¡¯s family. He brought everything he could and rushed to city h overnight to cause trouble for Jossi. In front of him, there was a heavy traffic, arge number of pedestrians, and countless vendors who had set up stalls. It was extremely lively. Not to mention the entrance of the train station, it could be said to be crowded with people. ¡°This is a big city.¡± Qiao Feng looked at the prosperous scene in front of him and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. After living in the town for so many years, it was still a little hard to adapt to such a big city. They had been here once before, but they did not think too much about it. When they found out that Joes had gone overseas, they could only return empty-handed. However, it was different this time. Qiao Feng, Liu Yun, and the rest wanted to live in a big city. No one wanted to live in a small town. Moreover, since Joes had found herself a rich man, she should provide them with a ce to live and money. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at the skyscrapers in front of her with greed in her eyes. How good would it be if all of these were hers? ¡°Mom, I¡¯m so tired from sitting. Let¡¯s quickly find a ce to rest. My back is aching.¡± Qiao Lei massaged his back. Liu Yun quickly nodded her head,¡±¡±I understand. I¡¯ll call thatdy now.¡± ¡°Why did you call her?¡± Qiao Lei revealed a suspicious look. Hearing this, Zhao Hai ¡®erughed as if she had heard a joke. She ignored Qiao Lei¡¯s dissatisfaction and said,¡±¡±We just arrived in city h and we don¡¯t know Jossi¡¯s address. Of course we have to ask.¡± The two of them continued their conversation, but they did not interrupt Liu Yun who was on the phone. The call was picked up very quickly. ¡°Hey, you guys have arrived in city h?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. With this group of vampires around, Joes¡¯s life would definitely be disrupted. She had already received news that joesse had actually moved to blue sky Apartment during this period of time. That was a ce that she could not go to. What right did she have? Just with that face? Was he using his ability to seduce people? Bah ... B * tch! Yang Yue Yue couldn¡¯t hold back her anger at the thought of her cousin living with that B * tch every day. Her eyes were extremely fierce, and even revealed a trace of killing intent. As long as she could make Joes unhappy, she would think of all ways to do it. For example, Qiao Feng¡¯s family. Hearing Yang Yue Yue¡¯s words, Liu Yun quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Miss, we¡¯ve arrived in city H. We just don¡¯t know sisi¡¯s address.¡± Address? Yang Yue Yue¡¯s lips curled into a smile when she heard the word. Qiao sisi was living in the blue sky Apartment now. If Zheng ze found out that so many people had entered the apartment ... He didn¡¯t know what would happen. At the thought of this, Yang Yue Yue directly told Liu Yun and the others the address of the blue sky Apartment without hiding anything. ¡°This is Joes¡¯s address. You can go there directly to find her. I don¡¯t need to say more about what happens next, do I?¡± Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Are you ready to go home now?

¡°We know, we know. Don¡¯t worry, miss. We know how to deal with sisi. It¡¯s only right for her to give us money.¡± Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but burst outughing. Greed could be seen on his wrinkled face. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave it to you guys then.¡± She hung up the phone after she finished speaking, but her hand was still gripping the phone tightly. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred, but it was concealed at this moment. She could not wait to see Qiao SI¡¯s embarrassed look. She was chased out of blue sky Apartment and cut off all ties with Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi ... Could only be hers! After the call was hung up, Liu Yun and the rest did not stay at the train station for long. They took a taxi and left. Their destination was the blue sky Apartment that yang Yueyue had just mentioned. The apartment was very far from the train station, and it took more than ten minutes to reach it. During this period of time, they had been discussing how to get the money from Joes in the car, even attracting the strange gaze of the driver. He even suspected that he had heard wrong. A group of people was preparing to cheat his daughter of her money. He did not know where these weirdos came from. Therefore, after dropping them off, the driver quickly drove away, not wanting to have any more contact with this group of people. ...... As its name suggested, the blue sky Apartment was an extremely high-end apartment. Otherwise, Zheng Zeyi would not have moved in. There were a total of two buildings, and the decorations were extremely luxurious. From the outside, it looked like a luxurious hotel. However, the interior decoration was simpler. Not everyone liked this kind of style. Liu Yun and the others stopped in front of the apartment, stunned by the scene before them. Living in the small town, Qiao Feng¡¯s family had never seen such a luxurious apartment, let alone move in. ¡°Dad, do you see this? it¡¯s obvious that this is a ce where rich people live!¡± Qiao Lei was instantly excited and his voice was trembling. How great would it be if they could also live in the blue sky Apartment? Liu Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with greed. After the shock was gone, she said with hatred,¡±That little B * tch must have found herself a rich man. Otherwise, how could she live in such a high-ss ce? We¡¯re suffering in town, and she¡¯s enjoying life here? If I had known earlier, I would have sold her off earlier!¡± Towards the end, his tone became more vicious. If Jossi had not managed to escapest time, she probably would not have had the chance to live in such a good ce. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m definitely going to stay in this apartment this time!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said urgently. Even the head of the family, Qiao Feng, had a look of shock and desire on his face. After being poor for their entire lives, they would never give up on the source of wealth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This time, I¡¯ll definitely get Jossi to give up the house!¡± Liu Yun said viciously. She was pleased with herself, feeling that she had something on Jessi. As long as that little B * tch refused to give up on her current sugar daddy, she would have the chance to control her and give up this house. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look!¡± Qiao Feng said. The whole family followed him into the apartment and were even more shocked by the luxurious interior. There were two exquisite vases in the middle of the room. There were many bouquets of flowers inside, exuding a faint fragrance. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked around and nodded her head in satisfaction. This ce was her property. Joes was going to spit this out sooner orter. They were in the lobby of the apartment. Ady at the front desk could not help but frown when she saw the man. She knew most of the owners of the apartment, but she had never seen these few people before. ¡°Who are you?¡± The front deskdy couldn¡¯t help but ask, her face full of doubt. After hearing this, Qiao Feng strode forward and said,¡±¡±My daughter lives here. Her name is Jossi. We¡¯re all her family, do you have the spare key to her apartment?¡± Spare key? The front deskdy was a little speechless. He directly came to ask for the key. She really didn¡¯t know what to say. As for Joes, she naturally knew her, but she had never heard of her having such a family. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, miss Qiao is not in the apartment right now. I can¡¯t give you the spare key. ¡± Thedy at the front desk shook her head. ¡°On what basis?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was the one who spoke. She took two steps forward and said,¡±¡±She¡¯s also a member of the Qiao family, so we have a reason to enter her house. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, little girl. Filial piety is the most important virtue. Don¡¯t you understand this principle?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s expression was also unkind. ¡°This ...¡± The front deskdy was stunned. Not long after, Liu Yun¡¯s hand was about to poke her head, and she was drooling.¡±Did you hear that? hurry up and give us the spare key. We all have documents to prove that we¡¯re Jossi¡¯s family. Give us the key!¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s face was full of impatience, as if he was going to make a move the next second. The whole family was quarreling at the front desk. Fortunately, there were not many people in the apartment now, otherwise, they would definitely beined about. Thedy at the front desk looked troubled as she kept looking at the door, hoping that Joes would return soon. On the other hand, Liu Yun and the others had no intention of leaving. They would not stop until they entered the apartment. ¡­¡­¡­ At that moment, Jossi was still in the president¡¯s office that was designed by Xing Yuan. She had also participated in the design of the draft and was now drawing a rough outline, which still needed more design and touch-up. He looked out of the window and saw that it was gettingte. The lights on the streets were already on. The light illuminated the streets and made the night in the city even more beautiful. ¡°Huu.¡± Upon seeing this, Joes slowly heaved a sigh of relief. She put the design drafts into a folder and prepared to bring them back to the apartment to continue with the design. Thepany¡¯s employees were also getting ready to get off work. They rarely worked overtime recently so that everyone would not be too tired. After taking the elevator to the second floor, Joes saw Lin ya packing her things and couldn¡¯t help but smile.¡±¡±Xiao Ya, are you ready to go home now?¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Lin ya also smiled and waved the bag in her hand. Wang Li had something to do that night and had already left. It was not a big deal, so they were not too worried. After saying their goodbyes, Lin ya and her brother Lin Hai left thepany together. The other employees on the second floor also got off work. Thepany was now empty. Jossi nced at the office tables on the second floor and took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor. The cleaningdy was still diligently cleaning the ce. Looking at this scene, Joes revealed a faint smile and said,¡±¡±Auntie, let¡¯s go home first. It¡¯s already veryte.¡± ¡°President Qiao.¡± When the cleaningdy saw who it was, she was extremely surprised. Her hand that was holding the broom paused, and she was quite ttered. Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Who¡¯s behind this?

¡°Let¡¯s go home first. ¡± Joes said gently. After the cleaningdy left, there were not many people left in thepany. Only the security room was still lit. These were all employees recruited by the Human Resources Department, and they were all very capable, so the atmosphere of Xing Yuan design was excellent during this period. In such an atmosphere, everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for work was raised a lot. Joesse was naturally ted to see thepany heading towards a better direction. She prepared the next gift. Winter was almost over, and spring wasing. ¡°Next month, I¡¯ll give everyone some small gifts as a form of encouragement.¡± Thinking about this, Joes¡¯s smile deepened. A momentter, she got into the BMW and drove away from thepany¡¯s garage, heading in the direction of the apartment. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. The front deskdy had been surrounded by Qiao Feng¡¯s family, and she had used all kinds of means to threaten and tempt them, but she still did not hand over the spare key. What kind of joke was this? a group of people who imed to be family came and wanted to take the key. Then wouldn¡¯t everyone be able to enter the blue sky Apartment? ...... ¡°If you guys keep doing this, I¡¯m going to call security.¡± The front deskdy was also a little angry. Hearing this, Qiao Feng, Liu Yun and the rest were stunned. The words ¡°hire security guards¡± were a little intimidating. After that, they were not as presumptuous as before. ¡°F * ck!¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± Qiao Lei cursed. He had thought that he could enter the apartment directly, but someone was stopping him. Zhao Hai ¡®er was so angry that smoke wasing out of her head. So, they couldn¡¯t enter the apartment without Joes? ¡°Youngdy, we¡¯re not lying to you. He¡¯s Jossi¡¯s father, and you¡¯ve been stopping him from entering. If sisi gets angry when she finds out, we won¡¯t say anything. ¡± Liu Yun said with a hint of disdain. Qiao Feng also stood at the side with a cold face. After the front deskdy heard this, she fell into deep thought. What the middle-aged woman said was not unreasonable. President Qiao must be on good terms with the Zheng family since he was able to stay at the blue sky Apartment. She was just a receptionist and she couldn¡¯t afford to offend him. Besides ... Thedy at the front desk sneaked a nce at Qiao Feng. This man might really be President Qiao¡¯s father. It wouldn¡¯t be good to offend him too much, so he decided to call and ask first. ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll give miss Qiao a call and ask her how to handle this.¡± The front deskdy said decisively. This was the best solution at the moment. Liu Yun¡¯s expression changed. If that little B * tch knew about this, would she still let them into the apartment? That little B * tch was very vengeful, and it was impossible to do that. ¡°Wait, we can¡¯t fight!¡± Liu Yun said hurriedly, but it was toote. Thedy at the front desk had already made the call. Worried that they would do something custom-made, the front deskdy pressed a button and called the security over. Who knew if this group of people would not like her and attack her? it was better to be cautious. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± At this moment, joesse¡¯s phone that was ced in the car suddenly rang. It let out a crisp ring. After driving for a while, she reached the traffic light and picked up the phone. ¡°Miss Qiao, how are you?¡± The front deskdy greeted him very politely, even with a bit of respect. Blue sky Apartment wasn¡¯t a ce that just anyone could live in. The owners of the apartments were people she had to respect. Upon hearing that, joesse was slightly taken aback. She then felt that the voice was somewhat familiar and asked,¡±¡±And you are?¡± ¡°Miss Qiao, I¡¯m Xiao Hong, who works at the front desk on the first floor of the blue sky Apartment. There are a few people at the front desk right now. He imed to be your family and wanted to use the spare key to enter the apartment, but I refused. ¡± The front deskdy¡¯s words were merciless. She exined the facts from beginning to end, afraid that joesse could not hear her clearly. It was better to ask the owner of the house about one thing than to make a decision on his own. Family? A few question marks appeared above Jossi¡¯s head. Since when did she have a family in city h? Combined with what the front deskdy had said earlier, the truth soon surfaced. She knew it. Liu Yun and the others! A few familiar figures appeared. Joes¡¯s grip on the steering wheel tightened and her gaze sharpened. She really didn¡¯t expect that these people woulde directly to city h to look for her after failing to cheat her of her moneyst time. They were really bold. It had already been a year, but he still refused to let her go! Joes narrowed her eyes slightly. However, how did that group of people know that she was staying at the blue sky Apartment? Or ... Someone was instigating something behind the scenes? All of a sudden, all sorts of doubts filled joesse¡¯s heart. She did not reply to thedy at the front desk, causing the person on the other end to be stunned. ¡°Miss Qiao, I¡¯m sorry. Did you hear what I just said?¡± Thedy at the front desk asked tentatively. This sentence pulled Joes back from her thoughts. She raised her head slightly and said into the phone,¡±¡±I heard you.¡± The front deskdy was a little nervous and asked,¡±¡±Then ... How should we deal with these people?¡± After all, the owner of the house had yet to give an urate answer, so it was not appropriate for her to ask the security guard to do it directly. The security guards were already standing by the side of Liu Yun and the others. At this moment, the few of them did not dare to act rashly, for fear that the electric batons in the security guards ¡®hands would fall on them. ¡°That group of people is not my family. I¡¯m on my way now. Keep an eye on them and don¡¯t give me the key.¡± Joes calmly gave her answer. ¡°Alright, miss Qiao, I understand!¡± The receptionist quickly nodded. After she made things clear, she hung up the phone. Joes was focused on driving, but her thoughts were in a mess. Ever since she left the house, that group of people had nothing to do with her. This time, he actually wanted to use her. He should take a good look at his own abilities and whether he had the ability to do so. ¡°I just don¡¯t know who¡¯s behind this.¡± Joes held onto the steering wheel, a strange look in her eyes. She was only a two-minute drive away from the blue sky Apartment. At this time, at the blue sky Apartment, after the front deskdy made the call, she seemed to have taken a calming pill. Liu Yun looked at him with a pair of eager eyes. When he hung up the phone, she quickly asked,¡±¡±How was it? what did she say?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er lowered her head, trying to hide the jealousy in her eyes. Hearing this, the front deskdy¡¯s attitude was not as polite as before. She frowned and looked at the few people in front of her. Her guess was right. How could miss Qiao have such a vulgar family? they were indeed here to cheat money. He even came to get the spare key directly. He really had nomon sense at all. Chapter 209

Chapter 209: There¡¯s nothing wrong with that

At the thought of this, thedy at the front desk looked at Liu Yun and the others with even more disdain, as if she was looking at some bad guys. ¡°Miss Qiao has already told me everything. You¡¯re all liars. How dare you pretend to be her family?!¡± After she finished speaking, she immediately instructed the security guards.¡±Stop this group of people. Don¡¯t let them escape. Miss Qiao said that she will personally deal with them when she returns.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The security guards responded one after another. A total of five security guards, all holding electric batons, surrounded Qiao Feng and the others, afraid that one of them would run out. This was the blue sky Apartment, an apartment building under the Zheng corporation¡¯s name. It was very expensive. Naturally, they were equipped with a powerful security system to allow people with ill intentions to sneak in. The few people in front of him were examples. Before Qiao Feng¡¯s family could react, they were already surrounded. After hearing the receptionist¡¯s words, Liu Yun could not care about anything else. Her sharp voice resounded through the sky,¡±What did you just say? That little B * tch Joes actually dared to say that?!¡± Her eyes were as wide as copper bells, as if she was worried that others couldn¡¯t see her. His tone was filled with malice. The front deskdy frowned. This middle-aged woman was really not afraid of death. She even dared to call miss Qiao that. ¡°I¡¯ll tell miss Qiao everything you¡¯ve said. This is her apartment, and you have no right to make decisions.¡± Thedy at the front desk shook her head. ...... Anyway, she just had to take care of Joes. Liu Yun was infuriated and Qiao Feng, who was beside her, was also shocked. He did not expect that Qiao sisi would not even acknowledge him as her father. ¡°I¡¯m her father. If she doesn¡¯t recognize me, I¡¯ll take her to court with reason!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s expression was ugly and his tone was extremely low. Upon hearing this, Liu Yun hurriedly echoed,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, does Jossi really think that she¡¯s no longer part of the Qiao family just because she left? Bah! They all have the same bloodline. It¡¯s impossible to shake us off directly!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s spittle flew all over the ce like a Shrew. The two of them echoed each other and did not show any fear when they talked about the court. Even though she said that, Liu Yun definitely did not dare to Sue Joes in court. ¡°No matter what you say, it¡¯s useless. Miss Qiao will be here soon. Let¡¯s see how she deals with this.¡± The front deskdy said insistently. ¡°Mom,¡± she said. Zhao Hai ¡®er tugged at Liu Yun¡¯s clothes and gave her a look. Seeing this, Liu Yun stopped talking for a moment and asked,¡±Hai ¡®er, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°This woman is stubborn,¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said softly.¡±But we can get some information from her.¡± ¡°Fishing for information?¡± Liu Yun repeated the sentence in confusion. She did not understand what he meant. ¡°That¡¯s right, mom. This woman is in charge of the apartment, so she must know a lot about Jossi. If there¡¯s really no other way, we can ask her sugar daddy and directly go past Joes to find her sugar daddy. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. At this point, she paused and continued,¡±¡±When that timees, it¡¯ll be useless even if Jossi doesn¡¯t want to pay up. We¡¯ll just expose the fact that she¡¯s being kept as a mistress. Won¡¯t she be a street rat and be hated by everyone?¡± Hearing this, Liu Yun was enlightened and pped her thigh. ¡°Hai ¡®er,¡± he said,¡±your idea is the best. Let¡¯s do it!¡± After that, Liu Yun was about to ask thedy at the front desk. However, before she could get anything out of her, the person in charge arrived. Outside the main entrance of the blue sky Apartment. Before she entered the apartment, she was sure of her identity when she saw a few familiar figures outside the ss door. Heh ... It really was that group of people. Joes¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile, but the light in her eyes grew brighter. It was already good enough that she did not seek revenge from Liu Yun and the others. She did not expect that she would deliver herself to them. ¡°Squeak ...¡± The door of the apartment¡¯s lobby was opened, attracting the attention of everyone at the front desk. They all looked up. Joes was wearing a ck coat and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. It was soft and silky, and even gave off a light fragrance. With light makeup on her face, she looked more energetic. At this moment, her expression was sharp and her temperament waspelling. As soon as she entered the lobby of the apartment, her aura was noticed by everyone. Liu Yun and the rest werepletely stunned. They could not imagine that within a year, Joes si would have changed so much. It waspletely different from the past. This was a confidence that radiated from within. When he looked at them, there was indifference in his eyes. It was obvious that he had no feelings at all. ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯re finally here.¡± Seeing the person who had arrived, the front deskdy revealed a smile, her face filled with joy. The person she had been waiting for had finally arrived. Upon hearing that, Joes nodded her head slightly. In her high heels, she quickly walked to the front desk and looked at Liu Yun and the others. She was dressed well, but the greed and unwillingness on her face couldn¡¯t be hidden. Zhao Hai ¡®er could not ept this. She looked at her ordinary clothes, while Joes was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. Why? On what basis could this B * tch live so well? Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heart was filled with hatred. Not only her, even Liu Yun was going crazy with jealousy. Qiao Lei was pleasantly surprised. He was dressed so well, so he must have a lot of money on him! ¡°Sisi, I¡¯m your father, and you¡¯re telling others that we¡¯re not family! What does it mean?¡± Qiao Feng tried to show his authority as the head of the family. However, his words had no effect now. Seeing this, Joes sneered and said,¡±¡±What, you¡¯re trying to scam me? Or do you think I¡¯m easier to bully?¡± If it was in the past, he might have given Qiao Feng some face on ount of their blood rtionship. However, he had participated in the sale of his daughter. From now on, she was no longer needed. ¡°PAH!¡± Liu Yun spat on Joes¡¯s body, but thetter took a few steps back and spat on the ground. She raised her head and her eyes were filled with hatred.¡±Jossi, I think you¡¯re unfilial. You don¡¯t even want to acknowledge your father now! If word of this gets out, you¡¯ll be criticized in the back. The Qiao family raised you up, and this is how you repay them?¡± Every word and sentence was clearly organized. Qiao si si wanted to give Liu Yun a round of apuse. She was really shameless to use the word ¡®filial¡¯ to pressure her. Zhao Hai ¡®er saw that the situation had turned around, so she quickly said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. My mom is right. If we knew that you were so unfilial, why did we raise you in the first ce? You should be starved to death!¡± The two of them echoed each other, causing Jossi¡¯s face to turn cold. Chapter 210 - The responsibility

Chapter 210: The responsibility

The front deskdy was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. Miss Qiao was already standing there, yet these scammers were still so confident? Could it be that ... These people were really her family? The front deskdy had this doubt in her heart, and the surrounding security guards were also confused, unable to tell the truth of the matter. ¡°Liu Yun, Zhao Hai ¡®er, it would be a waste of your talent if you don¡¯t go and do crosstalk.¡± Joes was amazed. She was toozy to hide the fact that they knew each other, since the others didn¡¯t dare to gossip anyway. Other than Qiao Feng¡¯s family, they would not stop until they suffered a little. Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at each other and saw the same hatred in each other¡¯s eyes. Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Sister, don¡¯t make a fuss. My family also raised money for mest time. You¡¯re so rich now, and you even live in a luxurious apartment. What¡¯s wrong with sponsoring your family a little?¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s face became impatient. His tone was as if it was a matter of course, as if Joes deserved to owe the Joes. Qiao Feng thought for a moment and felt that Qiao Lei¡¯s suggestion was not feasible, so he added,¡±¡±Sisi, how about this, you let us have the apartment here. ...... You have money anyway, so it¡¯s the same to move to another ce. But we sold all the houses in town to find you!¡± His expression was so pained that even Jossi raised her brows slightly. Sold the house? Ha ... He was ying with her. With Qiao Feng¡¯s personality, he would never sell his most important house. Their goal was also very obvious. They were here to gain something without getting anything in return. ¡°You want my apartment? Why don¡¯t you all look in the mirror and see how big your faces are?¡± Joes was so angry that she almostughed. He had never seen such a shameless person. More importantly, there was not only one of them, but a group of them! Hearing this, Qiao Feng¡¯s expression suddenly became extremely ugly, and he said with both kindness and severity,¡±¡±If you let us have this apartment, we won¡¯t look for you anymore.¡± As soon as he finished, he added,¡±¡±Give us another million and we will nevere to you again.¡± Qiao Feng was no fool. He knew that Qiao sisi did not want to see them, so he used this as an excuse. ¡°Pa pa!¡± Joes could not help but apud. The crisp sound of her apuse reverberated in the lobby of the apartment, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the receptionist. Seeing her gaze, the front deskdy seemed to have understood something and quickly asked,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, do you need any instructions?¡± She didn¡¯t dare to express her opinion on this matter. Regardless of the rtionship between these people, thedy at the front desk only had to serve joesse. She was the head of the household, not Qiao Feng¡¯s family. Why did she care about them? ¡°I don¡¯t know this group of people. They entered the apartment without permission and are suspected of fraud. Chase them out and don¡¯t let them in again.¡± After Qiao si finished speaking, she yawned andzily looked at Liu Yun and the others with a smile in her eyes. ¡°Alright, just listen to miss Qiao.¡± Thedy at the front desk nodded and turned to the security guards. Hence, before Liu Yun and the others could react, the security guards had already captured them. On the other hand, Joes turned around and left without looking back. Her time was precious, and she did not want to waste it on these insignificant people. At this moment, Liu Yun and the others finally reacted. ¡°Jossi, stop right there! What do you mean? I¡¯m your father! How dare you do this to me!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. He stared at Qiao sisi¡¯s back and shouted loudly. The entire apartment Hall was filled with his voice. Upon hearing that, Joes¡¯s footsteps paused for a moment. She slowly turned her head around, her eyes seemingly smiling yet not smiling. ¡°Qiao Feng, when you treated yourself as my father, why didn¡¯t you look at what you did to me and my mother? Now that I¡¯m living a better life, you can¡¯t wait to bring this group of people to oppress me. Do you think you¡¯re a good person?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes immediately turned cold, no trace of warmth could be seen. After a year, she had already seen through this group of people and would not hold any expectations. Qiao Feng¡¯s expression changed. After hearing this, he was obviously a little embarrassed and didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Sisi, about your mother ...¡± He opened his mouth, obviously finding it difficult to speak. After all, Liu Yun was a mistress who had stepped into someone else¡¯s rtionship. If she were to say it out loud in public, she would have to consider if she had the face to do so. A mouthful of saliva from each of them could probably drown them to death. Seeing this, the hatred in Liu Yun¡¯s eyes grew even more intense. She did not expect him to bring up that matter. ¡°Joes!¡± A sharp voice rang out, causing Jossi to take another look. The one who spoke was Liu Yun. She was much more emotional than Qiao Feng and was determined to get the apartment. Such a luxurious ce had to belong to them. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you think I¡¯ve said something wrong and wronged you? That¡¯s right, you did it for true love. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have taken advantage of my dad¡¯s time with his wife and ruined someone else¡¯s marriage. ¡± At the end of her sentence, the corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. Maximum taunting skill! ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. What¡¯s the point of bringing it up now? besides, it¡¯s your mother¡¯s weakness. What does it have to do with me?¡± Liu Yun craned her neck, not showing the slightest fear. Hearing this, joesse¡¯s eyes darkened and she said,¡±¡±What did you just say? I want you to repeat that. ¡± ¡°I say, your mother ...¡± Liu Yun wanted to repeat herself, but for some reason, she stopped when she saw Joes¡¯s eyes. It was as if a wave of fear had crept up her back, causing her to stammer. That was strange. No matter how powerful joesse was, she was just a little girl. What did she have to be afraid of? Liu Yun was a little more courageous as she said with confidence, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about what¡¯s happening now. He¡¯s your father, so it¡¯s your responsibility to support him! And we¡¯re his family. If you don¡¯t give us the apartment, we¡¯ll take you to court!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ll see how the judge deals with unfilial children like you!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said. She didn¡¯t even have the chance to interject in the conversation just now. Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wouldn¡¯t miss it. Chapter 211 - What’s wrong with taking a look

Chapter 211: What¡¯s wrong with taking a look

¡°Court?¡± Joes retorted with a nonchnt expression, not even a hint of panic. She really wasn¡¯t afraid of Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s threats. After all, the two of them knew nothing about this. They were only threatening them now. If they really wanted to do anything, the two of them wouldn¡¯t dare. ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for you to Sue me. It¡¯s gettingte. You guys can continue. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Joesughed. She reached out to look at the time on her watch. It was already half-past six in the evening. Even the sky outside had darkened. He didn¡¯t know where this group of people would stay after they were driven out. But ... This had nothing to do with Jossi. ¡°Jossi, if you dare to leave, I¡¯m not done with you!¡± Liu Yun stomped her feet in anger and wanted to rush forward to hold joesse back. However, the security guard beside her had already noticed her movements and held her arm tightly to prevent her from running. What a joke. If he couldn¡¯t even catch a woman, then he could forget about being a security guard. Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei were also filled with hatred. They could not help but curse,¡±¡±Jossi, you B * tch!¡± All of a sudden, curses filled the lobby of the first-floor apartment and resounded through the clouds, making people feel a little reluctant to stay. ...... Qiao Feng was the only one who did not speak. He looked at the ground with a dark expression and did not take the initiative to think about something. ¡°Little red, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± Joes walked with ease, waving her hand. A muffled voice came from the corridor. Hearing this, the front deskdy¡¯s eyes lit up and she quickly responded,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, miss Qiao. I won¡¯t let you be troubled. ¡± At this moment, Jossi had already taken the elevator and was about to head upstairs. The elevator was very spacious. Leaning against the railing, she raised her head slightly and looked at the soft and bright light above her head. He hadn¡¯t even had dinner yet, and now he was faced with such a situation. It was really a little frustrating. ¡°Who¡¯s the one behind this?¡± Joes mumbled to herself, but her mind was constantly thinking. Only people who had a grudge against her or had a bad rtionship with her would do such a thing. However, she had not returned to city h for a year and had rarely offended anyone. Could it be ... Yang Yue Yue, or Lin Xiu ¡®er? Currently, these were the two most likely candidates. Joes squinted her eyes slightly, and a shocking ray of light shot out from her eyes, containing a hint of coldness. No matter who it was, she would definitely make that person pay the price for scheming against her behind her back! ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, the situation downstairs was not very good. After Joes went up, the right to resolve the matter fell into the hands of the front deskdy. Naturally, she would side with her owner. No matter what their rtionship was, if she said she couldn¡¯t enter the apartment, she couldn ¡®t. ¡°Security guards, please chase these people out. If possible, don¡¯t let them in the next time you see them.¡± Thedy at the front desk smiled. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry.¡± The security guard couldn¡¯t help but smile and nod. If they wanted to enter the blue sky Apartment, they had to pass by the security room after entering the main door. As long as the security guards were more careful, it would be impossible for Liu Yun and the others to attack the apartment next time. After all, it was a high-end apartment, not a ce that any random person could enter. If not for Liu Yun¡¯s family revealing Joes ¡®name and some other things about her ... He probably couldn¡¯t even enter the apartment, let alone cause trouble. The next moment, the security guards grabbed their arms and dragged them out of the apartment. Outside the apartment, there was a main road and sidewalk. The scene of Liu Yun and the others being chased out of the apartment attracted the attention of many passers-by, and they stopped to watch. ¡°Let go, let go of me!¡± At the entrance, Liu Yun struggled with all her might and finally managed to free herself from the security guard¡¯s grip. Before he could say anything, the security guard said,¡±¡±Don¡¯te to blue sky Apartment to make trouble next time. Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences!¡± The other security guard also said,¡±that¡¯s right. Why don¡¯t you look at where you can find a ce to cause trouble and scam? is the owner of blue sky Apartments someone you can afford to offend?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After that, the security guards turned around and returned to the apartment, leaving Liu Yun and her family in a sorry state. The eyes of the passersby lit up when they saw this scene. They felt as if they had seen something incredible. Causing trouble? Fraud? Liu Yun red at the back of the security guards. She was so angry that she kept breathing in and out. Her eyes were red. ¡°That B * tch Jossi, she actually dared to get the security guards to chase us out. I really haven¡¯t taught her a lesson in a while, so she¡¯s got a lot of guts.¡± Not only did Liu Yun hate him, Qiao Feng and the other two also hated him! Zhao Hai ¡®er rubbed her red wrist, her face twisted with malice.¡±¡±Dad, mom, Jossi has be so difficult to deal with. What should we do?¡± She had thought that snatching an apartment would be a simple matter. However, after seeing Joes and her methods, the situation had changed. Simple? If he still felt that it was simple now, he would be aplete fool. ¡°If I had known that Jossi was so difficult to deal with, I wouldn¡¯t havee to the apartment to look for her. Wouldn¡¯t it have been better if I had found a way to block her way?¡± Qiao Lei was even more vicious and immediately thought of such a method. In his eyes, this method was much better than a verbal theory. He was not afraid that Joes would notpromise. After all, back in spirit town, Qiao Lei should¡¯ve hung out with some punks and learned a lot of dirty tricks. However, his words made everyone¡¯s heart skip a beat. ¡°F * ck, this group of people is too embarrassing. They were actually chased out of the apartment.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk. Nowadays, scammers even scammed people into apartments. They probably don¡¯t know what kind of ce blue sky Apartments are.¡± ¡°This is a well-known wealthy District. Wouldn¡¯t that be a fool?¡± ¡°Hahahaha.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The surrounding passersby were all discussing, and their conversation attracted the attention of Qiao Feng and his family. ¡°It¡¯s embarrassing now!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face was gloomy as he looked around. The people around him were pointing at him, making his old face turn red. Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but curse like a Shrew. She put her hands on her waist and said,¡±What are you looking at? what¡¯s there to see?¡± ¡°Tsk, you did it yourself and you won¡¯t let others say anything. Do you think that fraud is reasonable?¡± A passerby couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s wrong with taking a look!¡± ¡°A scammer has the nerve to criticize us. Do you believe that we can call the police right now?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s words immediately triggered the anger of the crowd, and many of them began to curse at each other. Unwilling to be outdone, she retorted. Unfortunately, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, and her voice was quickly drowned out by the crowd. Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Don¡¯t even think about it

Zhao Hai ¡®er was forced to join in the scolding battle, and the scene was chaotic. ¡°You B * tch, why do you care about my business? how is finding my own daughter a scam?¡± Liu Yun scolded. The passerby sneered,¡±I¡¯m a busybody?¡± Who Do You Think You Are?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still looking for your daughter? the security guards inside already said that you¡¯re scamming people, and now you¡¯re trying to deceive the crowd. Don¡¯t you have any shame?¡± ¡°Do you really think we¡¯re blind? we all heard what the security guards at the blue sky Apartment said just now!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Hearing these words, Qiao Feng felt his temples throb and he roared,¡±¡±Enough!¡± His voice was extremely loud and clear, causing the passerby and Liu Yun to stop in their tracks. ¡°Haven¡¯t you embarrassed yourself enough? Let¡¯s go!¡± Qiao Feng gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He turned around and left. If he continued to stay here, he would only be able to see a group of people humiliating him. He might as well leave as soon as possible! Joess...If I had known that things would turn out this way, I would have strangled her to death when she was born. Qiao Feng¡¯s action stunned everyone. A passerby reacted and said with a teasing tone,¡±¡±The mastermind has left, so why are you still here?¡± ...... ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯re about to run away, but you¡¯re still here quarreling with us. Have some intelligence, okay?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face darkened at the teasing. She red at the passers-by around her but did not scold them anymore. Instead, he followed Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei in a hurry. The few of them walked on the sidewalk with ugly expressions on their faces, causing the passersby to walk around them. ¡°What do we do now?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er hated Joes¡¯s attitude and was not satisfied with the current oue. His original n was to live in the apartment, but he didn¡¯t expect to be kicked out. Qiao Feng furrowed his brows and spoke first,¡±¡±Let¡¯s look for that woman. She should have a way. ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe that the little B * tch won¡¯t bow her head!¡± Liu Yun said viciously, almost squeezing out the words from between her teeth. Qiao Lei was also extremely frustrated. The entire family had thought of all sorts of ways to oppress Joes, but they had never thought of doing it themselves and being well fed. ¡°Let¡¯s find a hotel to stay in first. Then, we¡¯ll contact that woman.¡± Qiao Feng quickened his pace. They couldn¡¯t just sleep on the streets. Fortunately, Yang Yue Yue had given them a sum of money, so they weren¡¯t too stretched. At least a hotel ... He could still afford it. ¡°That¡¯s the only way, but I don¡¯t know how much money I¡¯ll have to spend tonight. It seems that I can only use up that money.¡± Liu Yun sighed softly, her eyes filled with heartache. It was not easy for her to get the money from Yang Yue Yue. She had only been in city h for a day, and she was about to spend all her money. She hadn¡¯t even had the chance to keep it warm! She gritted her teeth and nced around the big city, as well as the high-rise buildings everywhere. However, in her eyes, none of them were as luxurious as the apartment that Jossi was living in. How good would it be if she could live in it? how could that little B * tch deserve to live in such a good apartment? At the thought of this, Liu Yun¡¯s heart was filled with hatred. She suppressed it and began to n her next move with Qiao Feng and the others. Anyway, they were definitely going to get the house! ¡­¡­¡­ Blue sky Apartment. Joes did not know what was going on downstairs, nor was she interested. When the elevator reached her floor, the door opened with a ¡°ding¡± and the sensor light lit up. The bright light shone on the soft carpet in front of him, as well as the flower pots on both sides. This was the reason why the blue sky Apartment was so well-liked by Joes. There were many details that she liked. When the elevator doors were fully opened and Joris was about to head back to her apartment, she realized that something was amiss. She saw a tall man in gray casual clothes standing on the left. With just a single nce, that person took a few quick steps and instantly appeared beside joesse, pulling her into his embrace. The hug was very warm, and there was even a faint fragrance. ¡°Who is it?¡± Joes could not react in time and could not help but shout as her hands started to struggle. ¡°It¡¯s me. ¡± A maic voice rang out. It was extremely familiar. It was impossible for Joes to forget that voice. Even the hug was very familiar to her. It was just that she was thinking about something and did not react in time. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s warm palm was on her back, and she could feel his warmth. It was ... Him. Joes¡¯s heart skipped a beat as a soft spot in her heart was touched. She quickly broke free from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s embrace to hide her abnormality. Her cheeks were slightly red, but her head was lowered, and her long hair was scattered, so it was not clear. After taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Joes raised her head and asked in a slightly puzzled tone,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing here?¡± By right, he should be at the office or in the apartment at this time. Could he have been waiting for her in the corridor? After this thought emerged in his mind, it simply couldn¡¯t be stopped. Many images shed through Joes¡¯s mind, and her heart started to beat faster. However, she did not show it on her face. This was the advantage of having more experience and understanding how to deal with people. He did not have to show any emotions on his face. Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he heard that. His voice was inexplicably warm and a little hoarse, making one¡¯s heart tremble. ¡°I wanted to go down, but there was a lot of noise downstairs. I heard some things from the window. That¡¯s why I came out of the apartment. I didn¡¯t expect to see youing out of the elevator. ¡± This statement was reasonable. After hearing this, Joes nodded her head slightly and smiled.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not a big deal. I can handle it myself. It¡¯s just that a few scammers tricked their way to the blue sky Apartment, and I¡¯ve already gotten people to deal with them. ¡± She didn¡¯t mention that Qiao Feng was her family. After all, she didn¡¯t see the two as rted anymore. She would give them alimony, but the Qiao family shouldn¡¯t even think about giving them any extra! Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows after Qiao sisi finished her sentence. His eyes were filled withplicated emotions. It wasn¡¯t because he had heard themotion, but because of assistant Li¡¯s report. He had long known about this matter. He also knew that the Qiao family would being to blue sky Apartment, so he waited for Qiao si si at the corridor to give her somefort. As it turned out, it didn¡¯t seem necessary. ¡°Are they really just a bunch of scammers?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips moved, but he still asked this question. When he heard the answer, he felt a little indignant. Chapter 213

Chapter 213: What¡¯s the matter?

That person was clearly Jossi¡¯s enemy, but she had no intention of saying anything. This was a sign of distrust. Of course, it might not be necessary. ¡°Why are you asking this?¡± Qiao SI¡¯s expression was surprised. She nced at Zheng Zeyi and her tone was filled with doubt. ¡°Ahem.¡± Seeing that she was about to notice something, Zheng Zeyi stopped talking and cleared his throat.¡±¡±Nothing, I¡¯m just asking.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes shrugged her shoulders and retracted her gaze. She then walked towards her apartment. As for her inner thoughts, she did not think too much about it. Since Zheng Zeyi had said so, she would just take it as such. ¡°Da da da ...¡± The clear sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. As Qiao si walked, Zheng Zeyi followed behind her. ¡°Ka Cha.¡± After the key was inserted into the lock, it turned slightly and made a sound. Just as Joes was about to enter, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and asked,¡±¡±Do you want toe in and sit down?¡± ...... No matter what, he had prepared to go down for her. Since he had the time, it was naturally good to thank him. The hug just now had long been thrown to the back of his mind. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already invited me, it wouldn¡¯t be good if I don¡¯t give you face. Let¡¯s go.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He was smiling, and he strode into the house. He said it as if it was very forced and extremely proud. Joesse raised her eyebrows but did not mind. After the man entered the house, she closed the door. After tidying up the house, it had be very neat and orderly. On the table in front of the sofa, there was also a fruit te with fresh fruits on it to serve the guests. Joes walked to the water dispenser and saw the empty interior. She blinked and quickly came to a realization. There was no more water. ¡°So, would you like tea ... Or milk?¡± She was holding two empty cups in her hands as she turned around and asked with a smile. Upon hearing this, Zheng ze did not even lift his head and said,¡±¡±Have some tea.¡± He didn¡¯t like to drink milk. Inparison, he would rather drink fragrant tea to calm his mind. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After getting her answer, Jossi went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, while she chose a cup of milk. Then, she ced the teacup in front of Zheng Zeyi and took a sip of the fragrant milk in her cup. The sweet taste was refreshing. Drinking half a cup in one go, Jossi¡¯s mood improved. No one would be in a good mood to see a few top-ss people gathered downstairs the moment they got home, let alone her. That group of people were no different from enemies. ¡°What happened downstairs just now?¡± Zheng ze took a sip of his tea and asked directly. Joes was stunned for a moment, but she did not hesitate and told him what had happened. She didn¡¯t do anything wrong, so she didn¡¯t have to be afraid. ¡°The group of scammers came to the apartment and wanted to take the spare key, but Xiaohong, who was downstairs, didn¡¯t agree. So, they started making a scene and wanted to take the moral high ground to me me, but they were kicked out by the security guards in the end. ¡± Thinking of that scene, joesse still felt a little relieved. However, if he wanted to deal with itpletely, he still needed to use other methods. It was best to make that family retreat. It was just that the difficulty was a little higher. ¡°It seems that people nowadays really don¡¯t know their own limitations. They even dare to scam the blue sky Apartment!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face turned cold, and even his voice was icy. In reality, many thoughts ran through his mind. After all, he knew that those people were joesse¡¯s family. It would not be easy to get rid of them. Of course ... It was easy for Zheng Zeyi. He could just use extreme means to solve the problem. After he finished, Zheng Zeyi raised his eyes slightly and stared at joesse.¡±So you¡¯re going to let them off so easily?¡± ¡°This ...¡± Joes was a little hesitant, frowning. After a long time, her red lips moved,¡±we¡¯ll see. If they don¡¯te back after this trip, then let them go.¡± If you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, I¡¯m not someone you can mess with. At that time, you can use other means to deter me. ¡± ¡°Really?¡± After hearing this, the corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up into a devilish smile. That pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, making people unable to hide. Jossi felt an inexplicable sense of panic. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze and picked up the milk beside her to drink. For some reason, she felt that Zheng Zeyi seemed to know the truth when she saw his eyes. However, Zheng Zeyi had never seen Liu Yun and her gang before. He would not be so bored as to investigate them, would he? As it turned out, a certain CEO was just that boring. ¡°President Qiao, are you sure those are not your family members, or rather, family members that you have no rtionship with?¡± Zheng Zeyi said slowly. His tone was light, and one could hear the smile in his voice. He knew? In the next moment, Qiao si suddenly raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi with an extremely surprised expression. For a moment, she could note back to her senses. Could it be that ... Zheng Zeyi had really investigated it? Liu Yun and her group had never been to city h before, so this should be their first time. Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes were filled withplicated emotions as she looked at Zheng Zeyi in a daze. She opened her mouth several times but did not know what to say. ¡°Why, are you surprised that I know about this?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his good-looking brows. His every move exuded an elegant aura as he turned the teacup in his hand. The tea was steaming, and the steam it emitted covered his face, making him even more charming. Joes regained her senses and could not help but ask,¡±¡±I want to ask, how did you know about this?¡± From the beginning to the end, she had called Liu Yun¡¯s family a bunch of scammers and would never reveal anything. There was only one possibility left. After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s movements were unhurried. He said slowly,¡±¡±I¡¯m guessing President Qiao still remembers that I said I¡¯d invest in Xing Yuan design. I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t forget about it, right?¡± Although it was a question, it didn¡¯t sound suspicious at all. On the contrary, it was very certain of the answer. He knew that Jossi would never forget. As expected, she nodded, but she was a little confused.¡±¡±Of course I remember the investment. But ... What did it have to do with the current situation? An investment is an investment. ¡± ¡°Then, Mr. Qiao, do you think it¡¯s only right to investigate the background of our future business partners?¡± Chapter 214

Chapter 214: You even have to give this away

¡°Or is President Qiao unhappy about this?¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a smile. His eyes were extremely beautiful. This gaze was intoxicating. It was a good thing that Joes¡¯s mind waspletely immersed in this matter and did not notice it. Otherwise, she would have been stunned for a long time. It was human nature to love beauty. After hearing what he said, Joes blinked her eyes in surprise. There were so many things that he wanted to say, but he couldn¡¯t say anything at this moment. He just felt that it didn¡¯t match the current situation. More importantly ... She felt that what he said made sense. When it came to business partners, one would usually investigate their background. Otherwise, who knew what they had done behind their backs? Only after the investigation and seeing the ck and white paper would he feel slightly more at ease. The reason why Joes did not investigate further was because the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group was a leading enterprise and had a good reputation. There was no need for such argepany to lie to the president of a smallpany like her. Moreover, Qiao sisi knew Zheng Zeyi and had some understanding of his character. Although his character was not good, it was definitely a good choice if they were to cooperate! Very quickly, she epted this fact. ...... ¡°Alright, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t ept what you¡¯ve said. Those few people are indeed considered as such.¡± Joes said helplessly. He could barely be considered as only Qiao Feng being rted by blood. As for Qiao Lei ... She would never admit that he was the child of Qiao Feng and Liu Yun. ¡°So, President Qiao, can you tell me what happened? I might be able to help you solve it.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. His smile was extremely gentle, but one could see some danger in it. Solve it? Catching the key point, Qiao sisi did not expect Zheng Zeyi to say that. President Zheng, who had always been high and mighty, actually wanted to help her deal with these outrageous people this time. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was a little unrealistic. She heaved a sigh of relief and told him everything without hiding anything. Since Zheng Zeyi already knew about their rtionship, there was no point in hiding it anymore. It was better to say it openly. ¡°My father, my stepmother, and their child are inside, but it doesn¡¯t matter now. And although they¡¯re not scammers, they¡¯re more or less scammers. Their goal is to take this apartment for themselves. ¡± At this point, Joes shrugged her shoulders and had already epted the situation. Zheng ze¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup paused for a moment when he heard that. He then ced the cup on the table. ¡°Then have you ever wondered why they came to city h?¡± he asked. He asked this question very seriously, which could be seen from his eyes and tone. ¡°The reason why you came to city h?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes mumbled softly and fell into deep thought. She had actually thought of this possibility before. Liu Yun and the rest were staying in the small town without anyone instigating them, so the possibility of theming to city h to look for her was low. But now ... Not only did hee, but he even knew the address of the apartment. With such an obvious w exposed, joesse felt that an idea had suddenlye to light. Her eyes lit up, and the figure of the most likely person to do this appeared in her mind. Yang Yue Yue! Recently, Yang Yue Yue was the only person she hade into contact with. Her former enemy could be said to hate her to the bone. Perhaps it was because of Zheng Zeyi. Qiao si si could still see some clues. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s feelings for Zheng Zeyi were not ordinary cousin-sister feelings. Unfortunately, her cousin had no such intention. Now that he had a rough idea, what he needed was evidence to confirm that Yang Yue Yue was the one who did it. At the thought of this, a sincere smile appeared on Joes¡¯s face as she had a solution in her heart. ¡°Thank you, President Zheng. I think I know what to do.¡± Facing Qiao SI¡¯s bright smile, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mood improved a little. He leaned back on the sofa with azy expression. He raised his eyes and saidzily,¡±¡±Since President Qiao already knows what to do, I won¡¯t remind you anymore. But I¡¯ll go to xing Yuan to design the investment tomorrow. You should be free tomorrow, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi tilted his head with a half-smile in his eyes. Initially, he said that he would be going to Xing Yuan to design it today, but joesse had pushed it back in the end. She knew the reason best. ¡°I have time. I¡¯ll definitely have time tomorrow. Don¡¯t worry, President Zheng.¡± Joes said hurriedly andughed in embarrassment. She felt a little guilty when she thought about what happened today. He had nned to invite Chen zuolin, but he seemed to be busy, so he couldn¡¯te. In the end, the investment matter was left unsettled. Joes would ask again tomorrow and send a message. If she still did not have time, she would tell Chen zuolin everything rted to it. Letting him know the course of events would make things much easier. In her eyes, Chen zuolin was the real boss of Xing Yuan design. She would definitely need his approval to do something as big as this. However, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t think so. Instead, he handed over star essence Corporation to her. The two of them hadpletely different thoughts. After the matter was settled, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. At least the investment issue had been resolved. With the Zheng corporation¡¯s investment, there was no need to worry about the funding problem of Xing Yuan¡¯s design. ¡°It¡¯s good that President Qiao is free. Please rest early. I¡¯ll go back first. ¡± Zheng ze stood up. Upon seeing this, Joes stood up and said politely,¡±¡±Do you want me to send you off?¡± In fact, she just wanted to be polite. It was a very simple thought, but things were beyond her expectations. ¡°Alright.¡± After Qiao si heard that, her expression froze for a moment. She looked up and saw Zheng Zeyi smiling happily. How could he not be happy after being yed? Looking at his smile, the corners of joesse¡¯s mouth twitched. However, she could not take back her words that had been said. ¡°Let¡¯s go then, President Zheng. I¡¯ll send you off. ¡± Joesse forced a smile and walked towards the door. She opened the door and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment was right across the street. It was only two or three steps away. She didn¡¯t know what that man was thinking. As she was cursing madly in her heart, she did not notice that Zheng Zeyi was already standing beside her. Before anyone could react, a light kissnded on her cheek, and it only stayed for a short moment. It was a soft touch and a gentle action. Joes¡¯s eyes widened, her hand on the doorknob unable to be retracted, and her body stiffened. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what ... What are you doing?¡± A stammering female voice was heard, but Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile was extremely deep, and his Whirlpool-like eyes were eye-catching. Chapter 215

Chapter 215: A familiar recipe, a familiar taste

He leaned close to joesse¡¯s ear and said softly,¡±¡±I couldn¡¯t help it.¡± The four words were like an electric shock to her, and a numbing feeling welled up in her heart. It was so strange that Joes¡¯s entire body shuddered. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving,¡± Zheng Zeyi said lightly before he turned around and left. His long legs covered a distance that was hard to catch up with. Just as Jossi was about to give chase, a ¡°bang!¡± Was all that awaited her. The door of the opposite apartment had already been closed, and it would be useless even if they rushed over. This was premeditated! Joes took a few deep breaths in anger, red at the door of the opposite apartment, and closed the door angrily. She should have known that Zheng Zeyi was not a good person, yet he still had such thoughts! At the thought of this, she almost wanted to give up on the investment. For hooligans, not allowing capital injection should also be for thepany¡¯s good, right? Joes hesitated for a moment before sighing in the end. In the end, he still had to bow his head to reality. ...... By now, even a fool would probably understand Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thoughts, not to mention that she was not stupid. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you want to court me?¡± Joes mumbled, her tone filled with doubt and doubt. It was not that he was not confident, but Zheng Zeyi was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. If he wanted to find someone, he should find a rich girl of equal social status. At least the two of them didn¡¯t lookpatible now. Wait a minute! Why are you thinking about this! After Joes came back to her senses, she was shocked by her own thoughts. She quickly shook her head and threw these strange thoughts out of her mind. That was impossible. She should not change her mind just because of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s little tricks! After making up her mind, joesse¡¯s expression became more determined. She decided that the next time she saw Zheng Zeyi, she would definitely take a detour. The hug and the kiss just now were unforgettable. Even though she still felt a little strange when she thought about it, Joes still wanted to stop the damage and eliminate the source. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get down to business. Don¡¯t miss that bastard anymore!¡± Joes thought to herself. However, she did not know that the bastard she was talking about was currently in an extremely good mood in the apartment. After all, he had seeded twice today, and there was still the capital injection tomorrow. It was an extremely difficult thing to escape from his grasp. Suppressing her thoughts, Qiao si picked up her phone and gave Chen Anna a call. Her purpose was to ask about what Zheng Zeyi had just said. He would definitely find the person who was instigating this. It was impossible for him to allow her to stab him in the back, but in the end, even Joes did not know who he was. He had a guess now, but he could not confirm it. ¡± The call went through, and Chen Anna picked up after a while. ¡°Sisi, you finally called me!¡± Even through the screen, the sound waves could be felt. Fortunately, Joes had the foresight to ce her phone further away from the start. After hearing this, she brought the phone closer and said,¡±Anna, I have something to ask you.¡± Hearing this, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but be a little confused. However, she didn¡¯t say anything and just said,¡±¡±Go ahead, I¡¯ll answer any questions you have.¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up as she asked,¡±¡±It was a year ago. Wasn¡¯t I locked up in the prison? I remember you hired a private detective. Do you still have the private detective¡¯s contact information? I need his help with something. ¡± After saying that, she quietly waited for a reply from the other end of the phone. A year ago, Lin Xiu ¡®er, Yang Yue Yue, and the Secretary from Shiyupany had used Qiao sisi of theft and sent her to the detention center. If Chen Anna and Lin ya hadn¡¯t tried their best to help her, she would have been recorded in the file. Back then, after Joes came out, Chen Anna had told her everything that had happened, including the part about her being a private detective. She admitted that he was quite capable. Even though this was something that happened a long time ago, joesse still felt emotional whenever she thought about it. It was as if it had just happened, extremely clear. It was precisely because of this that Joes called Chen Anna and asked for the private detective¡¯s contact information. ¡°Contact information? I was wondering what you were going to ask, so it¡¯s this. I¡¯ll look for itter. ¡± Chen Anna said. Then, the sound of things being turned over could be heard. She didn¡¯t know where she had thrown the things from a year ago. After hearing this voice, they waited for a while, but there was no result. Upon seeing this, Joes could not help but let out an ¡°uh¡± and helplessly held her forehead, saying,¡±¡±Anna, are you sure you can still find it?¡± She felt that she was in danger. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice sounded from the other end of the phone,¡±¡±I found it!¡± Shock shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. She actually found it? ¡°Sisi, you said I can¡¯t find it. I don¡¯t usually put things around. You¡¯re ndering me!¡± After finding the item, Anna Chen¡¯s tone became stern and righteous, and she began to criticize Joes for what she had just said. After she heard this, she felt a little helpless, but she still nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, alright, I said the wrong thing, alright?¡± Chen Annaughed.¡±That¡¯s more like it. I¡¯ve taken a picture of this business card and I¡¯ll send it to you immediately. You can take a look at it when you¡¯re done.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Anna,¡± Joes thanked him. His words made Chen Anna slightly stunned and somewhat dissatisfied,¡±¡±Do we need to be so polite between us? I don¡¯t like to hear that. ¡± The two of them had known each other for many years. Aftering to city h, they had worked hard together and worked together. But it wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that they were family. Therefore, when Chen Anna heard the word ¡°thank you¡±, she felt a little ufortable and seemed to be a little distant. Joes also noticed it and quickly said,¡±¡±Then pretend I didn¡¯t say anything. I¡¯m hanging up. Rest early!¡± ¡°Toot ...¡± Chen Anna looked at the phone in her hand in disbelief. He had just said one sentence and hung up? However ... It was still a familiar recipe and taste. This was the change in the way the two of them got along in the past year. No matter what she did, her feelings would not change at all. Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but smile. She put down her mobile phone and went to draw her design draft. There was only half a month left until the fashion show. When the time came, they would have to edit the version. Naturally, the more time they had left for the editing, the better. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Jossi looked at her phone and could not help but smile. She did not have any other intentions when she hung up the call just now. He just didn¡¯t want to hear Chen Anna¡¯s long-winded speech. Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Never lived in such a good ce

Perhaps it was because she had been socializing outside for the past few days, Joes did not get rid of her bad habit of being polite. To outsiders, this was what they should do. However, for Chen Anna, there was no need for such formalities between the two. Ding ... Her phone rang. Joes picked it up and saw that she had received a message from Chen Anna. He opened it and saw that it was indeed the private detective¡¯s business card. She just didn¡¯t know if he was still in business after a year. If he wasn ¡®t, she would have to find another detective. Thinking of this, Jossi dialed the number on the business card and waited for a reply. The toot sound kept ringing in his ear for a long time. ¡°No one?¡± Joes frowned slightly and waited for a while more, but there was still no response, as if no one was there. Just as she thought that no one would pick up the phone and was about to hang up, the beeping sound was suddenly interrupted. ¡°Hello?¡± ...... A low male voice sounded. It was a little Haggard, as if he had not rested for days. Joesse was shocked when she suddenly heard this voice. However, she quickly reacted and asked,¡±¡±Hello, are you detective Wen?¡± The name card was detective Wen. As for whether it was true, he would have to ask the person on the phone. The person on the other end of the phone was stunned and asked,¡±¡±Yes, I am. May I know who you are?¡± ¡°My surname is Qiao, you can just call me miss Qiao. Here¡¯s the thing, I would like to ask if detective Wen has been taking any cases recently?¡± Joes asked. If he wanted to investigate Yang Yue Yue, this detective Wen would be a good choice. Last time, he was the one who made Yang Yue Yue fail miserably. This time, it might be him again. ¡°I see ... Then I understand. Miss Qiao, you want to investigate something, so you¡¯re looking for me, right?¡± Detective Wen smiled. Speaking of his career, his voice seemed a little more energetic. Joes chuckled and said,¡±detective Wen is right. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have looked for you. I wonder if you have any free time?¡± ¡°Yes, where would miss Qiao like to meet?¡± Detective Wen said. After he finished speaking, he even yawned, looking extremely tired. Even though he looked like this, Joes still trusted him. After all, it was detective Wen who found the evidencest time. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been able toe out of the detention center so quickly. ¡°I¡¯ll contact you tomorrow if I¡¯m free. It should be in the morning.¡± Joes had an idea. In the afternoon ... As expected, Zheng Zeyi had toe to Xing Yuan design to discuss the investment. He was probably not free. But in the morning, joesse was still able to squeeze out some time. No matter what, she had to find the person behind this. She couldn¡¯t let herself go on like this. ¡°Alright, whatever miss Qiao says.¡± Detective Wen couldn¡¯t help butugh. The two of them chatted for a while and hung up the phone after saying hello. The heavy stone in her heart was finally lifted, and Joes finally heaved a sigh of relief as she ced her phone aside. Other than dealing with this sudden incident today, there were also thepany¡¯s design drafts to deal with. This ... Was also the most important thing! Joes casually made some dinner. After she finished eating, she brought her drafts into the room and started on her design drafts in a ce with the best light. She still remembered what Chen Anna had saidst time. As for the jewelry, he had to design three different series of jewelry. Earrings, nes, rings, bracelets ... And so on. With different clothes, they would attract people¡¯s attention at the fashion show. If she couldplete this, she would be considered to have seeded halfway. The sky was getting dark, and in the warm apartment, a person in pink rabbit pajamas was working hard on the design draft. The useless drafts had already filled up half the trash can. However, this was normal for joesse. She was like this when she drew her design drafts. Anything that she was not satisfied with or needed to be modified, she would treat it as a waste, but the creativity would be kept and continued to be used. The heavens would care for those who worked hard. Jossi had always remembered this sentence. She worked untilte at night before dragging her exhausted body to sleep. At this time, the few top-ss people who came to city h finally found a ce to stay. ¡­¡­¡­ In a five-star hotel. As Liu Yun walked, she couldn¡¯t help but exim,¡±Tsk tsk, this five-star hotel is really not bad.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s four to five hundred Yuan for one night. How can it be a joke?¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s mouth twitched. Even though it was his first timeing to such a luxurious ce, he knew more than Liu Yun. Qiao Feng¡¯s family had originally nned to find a hotel to stay in by themselves. They wanted to find a cheaper one so that they would not waste too much money. However, when she called yang Yueyue, Liu Yun had specifically mentioned this matter and even brainwashed yang Yueyue. She said that they were absolutely irreconcble with Qiao sisi. Moreover, with ayer of family rtionship, it would be much easier to frame. It was precisely because of this that Yang Yue Yue chose to provide them with a five-star hotel. She was no fool, but Liu Yun was right. ¡°That woman sure is rich ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned. She looked around with envy. How good would it be if she was also a rich girl like this? Unfortunately, it was all empty talk. After finding the corresponding room number, Liu Yun used the key card and only managed to open the door after a long time. She was even reprimanded by Qiao Feng for this. The four of them walked into three different rooms and were stunned by the luxurious scene inside. It was nothing to Yang Yue Yue and the rest, but to Qiao Feng and Liu Yun who had lived in the town for their entire lives, it was a huge blow. It was not an ordinary five-star hotel, but a business under Yang Yue Yue¡¯s family name. It had a good reputation to the outside world. ¡°Oh my God, this is too good.¡± Liu Yun¡¯s eyes were wide open, and it took a long time for her toe back to her senses. Even Qiao Feng was the same. It took them a long time to get used to it. Soon, they treated the hotel as their own home and packed all their luggage. It looked like he was going to stay here for a long time. ¡°Hubby, this time, we have to get that apartment. I¡¯ve never lived in such a good ce before.¡± Liu Yun said sourly as shey on the bed. He was eating in his bowl and looking at the food in the pot. After all, the hotel was Yang Yue Yue¡¯s family¡¯s business and had nothing to do with them. It was impossible for it to be a long-term residence. Chapter 217

Chapter 217: For my granddaughter-inw

Liu Yun understood this point. However, it was different for Joes¡¯s apartment. They were still a family in name and were even rtives. As long as he stuck to this point and thought of ways to put pressure on that little B * tch, it was only a matter of time before he got the apartment. Thinking up to this point, Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but feel proud. So what if Joes¡¯s abilities were strong now? she still could not escape from them. After listening to Liu Yun¡¯s words, Qiao Feng thought for a while and also felt that he had to get the blue sky Apartment. ¡°She¡¯s so cautious and hates us to the core. I don¡¯t think she¡¯ll give us the apartment on her own ord.¡± Qiao Feng frowned. Now, he had also seen things clearly. Liu Yun¡¯s expression was ruthless. She pinched the corner of the nket and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s true. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with that little slut. We can¡¯t give up on the blue sky Apartment. If we seed, Xiao Lei won¡¯t have to worry about getting a wife in the future. ¡± ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work ...¡± A strange look shed across Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes. He did not continue his sentence, but Liu Yun instantly understood. The two of them looked at each other andughed. ...... ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯ll call that woman again tomorrow and ask for herpany address!¡± He said. Liu Yun said ruthlessly. After that, the two of themy down to rest without saying a word. For the entire night, everyone had their own thoughts and ulterior motives. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day. The first thing Joes did after waking up was to contact detective Wen and arrange to meet at the coffee shop that Anna Chen had mentioned. She left the design drafts in the car for the time being and got out of the car with some cash. If he wanted to cooperate with detective Wen to investigate Yang Yue Yue, he would need to pay some money. It would not be toote to give the rest after receiving the information. ¡°Wee! This way, please. ¡± When the waiter saw the guests, he quickly bowed and said. His tone was also very polite. Joes revealed a smile and said gently,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. After she finished speaking, she brought her things and walked into the coffee shop. She didn¡¯t know that the waiter was looking at her back with envy. To be able to drive a BMW and have an extraordinary temperament, she must be a strong woman! However, The waiter¡¯s guess was right. After entering the caf¨¦, Joes found detective Wen¡¯s location. It was in the corner of the caf¨¦. She was a little surprised to see detective Wen¡¯s appearance. In the past year, he no longer wore a trench coat, but changed into white sportswear. His appearance was more tender, like a big boy. After seeing the person, he smiled slightly. ¡°Detective Wen.¡± Gesturing at him, Joes pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. In front of her was a cup of coffee that she had already ordered. Until now, she still couldn¡¯t believe that this was The Good Detective Chen Anna had talked about. The person she saw was probably detective Wen, who had never taken care of himself before. This time, he had taken care of himself and changed into a set of young sportswear, making him look much younger. The two of them looked at each other and went straight to the point without any further dy. ¡°Miss Qiao, regarding the entrusted investigation you mentioned, there are still some parts that I¡¯m not clear about. Can you tell me in detail?¡± Upon hearing detective Wen¡¯s words, joesse nodded. She ced the Commission on the table, pushed forward, and roughly told him what had happened these days. In short, someone was plotting against her behind the scenes, but their identity was not clear. Hence, he needed detective Wen to investigate and find out who was the one who had deliberately incited this, so that Joes would be more vignt. It wasn¡¯t a difficult thing to do, and it was very easy for a detective to implement it. After exining the whole story, Jossi picked up the exquisite coffee cup in front of her and took a sip. ¡°Detective Wen, what¡¯s your decision?¡± Detective Wen, who was sitting opposite him, lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After hearing this, he snapped out of his thoughts. He pursed his lips and nodded.¡±Okay, I¡¯ll take this Commission. I¡¯ll get the results in about three or four days.¡± His tone was extremely certain, showing his extreme confidence. It was a good thing to be confident. After Joes heard this, she was rather satisfied and revealed a faint smile. ¡°Alright, this is the deposit. Please ept it, detective Wen. You can call me at any time when you have any news.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± detective Wen nodded. He ced the deposit into arge pocket of his clothes, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water. There was no pause in his movements. He probably did this kind of thing often, so he was a little too familiar with it. The Commission was epted by a reliable detective, and Jossi was in a good mood. She extended her hand.¡±Well then, detective Wen, it¡¯s a pleasure working with you.¡± ¡°Happy cooperation.¡± The two of them shook hands and greeted each other before they left the caf¨¦. They went their separate ways and headed in opposite directions. Joes nced at her watch as she walked. It was eighto¡¯ clock. He had spent half an hour discussing this matter with detective Wen. Although it wasn¡¯t a long time, it was still a dy. After getting into the driver¡¯s seat, Jossi furrowed her brows. She had originally wanted to return to Xingyuan to design, but she thought of something and turned around to go to another ce. That was the private hospital. ¡°I¡¯ve been so busy these few days that I forgot to visit Grandpa Zheng. Let¡¯s go and visit him first.¡± Joes mumbled softly. On the way, she also bought some fruits, which were the kind that the elderly liked to eat. After buying the gifts, he rushed to the private hospital without stopping. In the hospital. Old master Zheng was still in the familiar Ward. Ever since he had discussed with Zheng ze about feigning illness, he had been staying in the hospital. The hospital¡¯s environment was quite good, and there were many elderly people there. When they were free, old man Zheng would chat with them or bask in the sun. In short, it was definitely better than staying in the vi all the time. At least he could get some fresh air outside. Old master Zheng¡¯s formerrades and friends came to visit him when they heard the news. They all knew that it was fake, otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been so rxed. Old master Zheng said to the outside world,¡±¡±For my granddaughter-inw, all my sacrifices are worth it.¡± This sentence waster used by many other old grandpas and grandmas to ridicule. In the huge hospital, joesse was walking quickly. After she found the ward, she knocked on the door gently. An old man¡¯s voice came from inside,¡±¡±Come in.¡± Chapter 218

Chapter 218: A friendship of decades

It wasn¡¯t old master Zheng¡¯s voice? Upon hearing this unfamiliar voice, a sense of suspicion surfaced in Jossi¡¯s heart. After opening the door, she saw an old man and an old woman standing in front of the hospital bed. As for old master Zheng, he was still in deep sleep and was snoring lightly. Her face was still ruddy, and she looked much better than thest time she came. Looking at this scene, joesse heaved a sigh of relief. Holding the fruit basket in her hands, the corners of her lips curled up and she said politely,¡±¡±Hello, Grandpa and Grandma. May I know who you are ...¡± She didn¡¯t seem to have seen these two at thest birthday party. ¡°You must be sisi, right?¡± The old grandma¡¯s eyes were filled with love as she directly called out her name. Even though she was puzzled, Joes¡¯s face did not reveal any of it, and no emotions could be seen. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± she said, nodding.¡±I¡¯m Joes.¡± After the olddy heard this, she smiled again.¡±¡±We¡¯re old man Zheng¡¯s friends. We wanted to visit him but he fell asleep.¡± Then, the olddy nced at old master Zheng. There was a look of disdain in his eyes, and even the old man standing by the side was the same. He deliberately stood in a position where joesse could not see him. Did he really think that the two of them didn¡¯t know that he was pretending to be asleep? ...... After all, they had been on the battlefield together before, so they could tell if they were really sleeping or not. There were many of old master Zheng¡¯s spies in the hospital. When they noticed that Jossi had arrived, they immediately informed old master Zheng. If they were to chat with their friends, it would be easy to expose something. So ... Old master Zheng chose to pretend to be asleep. ¡°I see. Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa and Grandma,¡± She smiled gently and had a gentle attitude. Joes did not know about pretending to be asleep. After she finished speaking, she ced the fruit basket on the bedside table gently to prevent it from making any noise. Old master Zhengy on the bed without even lifting his eyelids. His acting skills were at the point of perfection. Sisi, are you rted to that kid from the Zheng family?¡± The old man raised his eyebrows and could not help but ask. He had just finished speaking when old master Zheng rolled his eyes at him. He actually brought up this topic in this situation. What was his intention? However, old master Zheng also wanted to hear the answer to his question, so he didn¡¯t say anything after ring at him. She was still lying on the bed, acting as if she was really lying. After hearing the old man¡¯s words, the two ... No, the three of them turned to look at Joes. Old master Zheng peeked a little and saw his granddaughter-inw¡¯s troubled expression. It seemed to be different from what he had imagined. He had imagined Joss to answer without hesitation that the two of them were engaged. Old master Zheng could not help but feel a little disappointed. A momentter, joesse nced at old master Zheng, pursed her lips, and said with some difficulty,¡±¡±Grandma, Zeyi and I ... We are indeed a couple. The wedding date is still under discussion and hasn¡¯t been decided yet, so Grandpa and Grandma, you¡¯d better not believe these rumors. ¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she blinked her eyes. Only the heavens knew how much courage it took for Qiao sisi to¡¯ admit ¡®her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that old master Zheng was here and she was worried that her cover would be blown, she would have just said that it was fine. Moreover, she did not want to have anything to do with that hooligan Zheng Zeyi. For now, they were just cooperating. After hearing what joesse said, the eyes of the two grandpas and grandmas immediately lit up, and they were filled with the desire to gossip. Even old master Zheng, who was lying on the bed, couldn¡¯t help but smile. It was a small smile, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about being discovered. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I knew it. That kid from the Zheng family is not bad. You two are a golden couple.¡± The old grandma praised. Jossi smiled in embarrassment at her kind expression. In the next few minutes, the three of them chatted casually, mostly asking about her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi. For example, when did the two of them meet, how did they meet, and how they got together. Even Joes, who was making up the story, was having a headache. After all, one lie would require countless lies to cover it up. Not long after, she gave up struggling. ¡°Grandpa, grandma, I still have something to do at thepany, so I won¡¯t be staying any longer. If there¡¯s a chance next time, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± Joes said with a smile. It was indeed gettingte. It was already past nine. Over at Xing Yuan design, thepany¡¯s employees had already started work, but she, the president, had not arrived yet. ¡°Alright, sisi, since you¡¯re busy, we won¡¯t keep you. Stay here for a while longer and we¡¯ll leave.¡± The olddy nodded. And the old man said with a very deep meaning,¡±¡±Sisi, if you have the time,e and visit elder Zheng more often. He¡¯s in the hospital alone because of his poor health. Sometimes, he really doesn¡¯t have anyone to talk to. ¡± It looked like he had good intentions, but in reality, he was prepared to watch a good show. Old master Zheng had just heard this when he reacted. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the situation didn¡¯t allow it, he would have spoken directly. But now, he could only swallow all the words he wanted to say. Upon hearing this, Joes agreed and immediately agreed,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa and Grandma. I¡¯ll definitelye and visit Grandpa Zheng when I have time.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a good child,¡± The old grandma was very pleased. After greeting each other, Joes turned and left the ward. She closed the door gently and quickened her pace to leave the hospital. He had to return to thepany as soon as possible. There were still many things to deal with. The ward was also in a mess. As soon as Jossi left, old man Zheng lifted the nket and sat up. He looked extremely aggrieved and did not know what to say. Just now, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He really couldn¡¯t make bad friends. Seeing that he didn¡¯t continue to pretend to be asleep, the old man found a seat and sat down. He smiled and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re awake?¡± ¡°Old Deng, we¡¯ve known each other for decades. How could you ...¡± Old man Zheng¡¯s face turned red. ¡°We came to visit you. It hasn¡¯t been long. You pretended to be asleep after hearing the announcement. You didn¡¯t even let us know.¡± The old man criticized. Hearing this, old master Zheng had nothing to say. He was indeed in the wrong. He was worried that Joes would find out that he was pretending to be sick, so he did not tell them in time. As a result, it resulted in the current situation. The olddy at the side couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and said,¡±¡±Alright, elder Zheng, it¡¯s time for you to exin the situation. I saw that the little girl just now was a good person. Are you really sure she¡¯ll be your granddaughter-inw?¡± Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Miss yang, I am Qiao Lei

At the mention of this, old master Zheng clearly became more spirited. He said proudly,¡±¡±That¡¯s a must, sisi is a good girl. I¡¯ve been through many ups and downs in the business world, and I¡¯ve even been on the battlefield. I can still tell a thing or two about people. ¡± ¡°In that case, I more or less understand.¡± The olddy nodded in understanding. After that, old man Zheng began to tell his two good friends what had happened. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s change from the beginning to the end. He had not been in a rtionship for the past few years and was also the topic of discussion among the older generation. They were all worried that they would be single for the rest of their lives. Zheng Zeyi had a lot of fans, but there were not many that old master Zheng liked. Qiao sisi was one of them. Old master Zheng didn¡¯t even pant when they discussed this matter. He even sounded like he was showing off. The atmosphere in the ward was joyous and harmonious. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Joes drove back to Xing Yuan design and brought the design drafts back to her office. On the way, he nced at the office on the second floor. Lin ya and the others were drawing drafts with serious expressions. ...... Everyone was very interested in this fashion show. Seeing this, she couldn¡¯t help but smile. She was in an extremely good mood. As long as thepany continued to develop at this rate, it would not be difficult to be a leadingpany. Moreover, he had the investments of the CEOs of two majorpanies, Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi. In this case, if he wanted to use the star essence design, he would have to consider whether his strength couldpete with them. Things were moving in a good direction. Joes carried the design drafts to the third floor. Molly stood up immediately and greeted her respectfully,¡±¡±Good Morning, President.¡± ¡°Good Morning,¡± She smiled. After that, she pushed open the office door and was about to go in when Miley suddenly called out to her. ¡°President, I received a call when you weren¡¯t around just now. It was from President Zheng¡¯s assistant from the Zheng Corporation.¡± At this point, Millie pursed her lips and the joy on her face could hardly be concealed.¡±¡±He called to say that President Zheng will being to Xing Yuan design in an hour to discuss the cooperation.¡± Cooperation! This was a big deal, and it meant that Xingyuan¡¯s design had gained another powerful backer, one that could even bepared to Hengyuan. Thinking of this, Millie¡¯s smile widened. Sure enough, she was very lucky to be sent to star Yuanpany. It was also because Chen zuolin valued her that he did so. Joes nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±Okay, if theye, please invite them to the guest room and prepare the tea.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie replied. After that, joesse stayed in the office to sort out the design drafts and kept an eye on detective Wen. He was very fast. In almost half a day, he found some clues and found out where they lived. This was because Qiao sisi had given detective Wen all the information she knew about Qiao Feng¡¯s family so that he could continue his investigation. ¡°Detective Wen, did you say that they are staying in a five-star hotel?¡± she asked. ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Detective Wen said with certainty. Not only that, but it was also an extremely luxurious five-star hotel in city H. A night¡¯s stay would cost at least hundreds of thousands. However, they could also enjoy the corresponding services and luxurious suites. Detective Wen quickly sent the photo of the five-star hotel to Jossi, allowing her to see the name of the hotel. The photo was of a magnificent and Grand Hotel with three big words in gold on it. Jiali hotel? Looking at those words, Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed. This name ... Was familiar, but she didn¡¯t know who was behind it, so she suppressed her thoughts. ¡°Detective Wen, investigate the owner of this hotel. You might get some information.¡± Joes said in a deep voice. This was a guess, but it was also a fact. ¡°Alright, if we¡¯re fast, we should be able to get the results by tonight.¡± Detective Wen nodded. After that, the two hung up the phone and put away their phones. Looking at the ck phone screen, Joes¡¯s expression was a littleplicated. From her posture, she did not seem to be an ordinary person. It should be one of Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue. Other than the two of them, no one else had such strong financial resources and it was difficult to own a well-managed hotel. A light shed in her eyes. She blinked, picked up the brush on the table, and sank her thoughts into the draft. No matter what, he would have an answer tonight. Now, he only needed to calm down and draw up the design draft. When he had an answer, he would think of other countermeasures ording to the candidates. At that moment, that was what Joes was thinking. However, on the other side, someone was preparing to do something bad to her. ¡­¡­¡­ On the top floor of Jiali hotel. The top floor was the most luxurious ce in the entire hotel. Only some big shots had the chance to stay on the top floor. This was also the threshold of Jiali hotel, which could make the big shots think that they were special and valued. In a luxurious suite, Yang Yue Yue was sitting on a soft sofa. She was holding an exquisite teacup and taking a sip of ck tea. She had heavy makeup on, and the clothes she wore were all famous brands, as well as all kinds of expensive jewelry. The Yang family relied on a five-star hotel and some other small businesses to establish themselves in h city. Because of their rtionship with Zheng Zeyi, the rest of the people did not dare to provoke the Yang family. Instead, they used their tiger skin as a cover. In front of Yang Yue Yue were a few people dressed in ordinary clothes. They were a stark contrast to her and the ce she was in. It was Liu Yun and the others. In front of Yang Yue Yue, they felt a little uneasy. ¡°You¡¯re miss yang right? Hello, I¡¯m Qiao sisi¡¯s stepmother, Liu Yun. ¡± Liu Yun squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and Qiao Feng, who was beside her, also tried to tter her. ¡°Miss yang, I¡¯m Qiao Lei!¡± Yang Yue Yue was quite good-looking. After seeing her, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes were fixed on her, and he couldn¡¯t bear to look away. Only Zhao Hai ¡®er stood at the back with her head lowered. She clutched the corner of her clothes to hide the jealousy in her eyes. The surrounding hai Hua and Yang Yue Yue who was sitting on the high tform were all stimting her. Why was it that this woman and Jossi were doing so well, while she was the only one who could only be an ordinary person? Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face twisted at the thought. However, no one was paying attention to her at this time. In fact, they were toozy to even pay attention to him. Qiao Feng¡¯s family¡¯s eyes were all on Yang Yue Yue, their gazes extremely fervent. Chapter 220

Chapter 220: The president is really good-looking

Seeing this, Yang Yue Yue put down the exquisite teacup in her hand and turned her gaze to Liu Yun and the others. Initially, he had only used the phone to instigate them. However, he did not expect that this group of idiots could not even deal with Joes. It was no wonder that he had been suppressed and could only live in a backward town. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of ridicule, and she didn¡¯t even try to hide it. She said,¡±¡±I know you guys. I¡¯ve done my research.¡± She hated Joes to the core and had long investigated her entire family. Upon hearing this, Liu Yun and the others looked at each other in shock, not knowing what to say. Not long after, Qiao Feng broke the silence,¡±¡±Miss yang, I would like to ask you one more time. What do you want us to do?¡± His attitude was respectful, and he didn¡¯t dare to be impudent. When he was in front of joesse, he treated himself like an Emperor. The contrast was extremely clear. ¡°Me?¡± Yang Yue Yueughed coldly. The image of that loathsome face appeared in her mind, and she squinted her eyes. Joess...This time, I will definitely destroy this b*tch¡¯s reputation! ¡°She¡¯s living at the blue sky Apartment now. I can¡¯t manage that ce, so I can only provide you with a ce nearby.¡± Yang Yue Yue said. ...... When she mentioned the blue sky Apartment, she wished she could smash everything around her. She was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cousin, but she had not even entered the blue sky Apartment before that B * tch moved in! ¡°During this period of time, I want you to post on the inte to defame Joes. Use the most vicious words so that she will never have the chance to make aeback!¡± Yang Yue Yue said fiercely. Liu Yun agreed with him,¡±That child really needs to be disciplined. Miss yang, we¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°Yeah, my sister is too annoying. She¡¯s also very selfish. Once she has a house, she only knows how to enjoy it secretly.¡± Qiao Lei chimed in, but his eyes kept sizing up Yang Yue Yue, the greed in his eyes almost unconceble. What they were doing now was no different from asking a Tiger for its skin. After all, Yang Yue Yue was not a kind person. ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. I¡¯ll also be responsible for the promotion of the inte. By the way, don¡¯t give up on the blue sky Apartment. You¡¯d better think of a way to fight for it, and the bigger the matter, the better. Take it to court, and I¡¯ll hire the bestwyer for you!¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were cold and venomous, but the corners of her mouth curved into a cold smile. With such aplete set of preparations, he didn¡¯t believe that she could turn the tables this time. And ... There was another thing that he had to prepare for. She was in the midst of contacting them. As long as she gave them more money, she was not worried that they would not make a move. ¡°Alright, miss yang, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just after we¡¯ve dealt with that B * tch joesse ...¡± Liu Yun rubbed her fingers together. The smile on his face was somewhat wretched. Although she was the one who stood out, after she said this, the others ¡®gazes became even more eager. Inparison, practical benefits were more tempting. Moreover, the greedy Qiao family would not care where the money came from. They only cared about being rich. Yang Yue Yue snorted and said,¡±¡±If the matter is done, I will give you 100000 Yuan. It depends on how well you do. If you do well, you can pay more. As long as you can make Joes unhappy, money is not a problem!¡± As the daughter of the Yang family, she could indeed be rich and overbearing now. Liu Yun and the others ¡®breathing quickened. This money was too easy to earn. As long as he could make Joes unhappy and throw her out of blue sky Apartment, he could even get an even greater fortune. ¡°Hubby, did you hear that?¡± Liu Yun was a little excited and quickly pulled on Qiao Feng¡¯s sleeve,pletely forgetting about Qiao sisi. A smile appeared on Qiao Feng¡¯s aged face, along with a hint of greed. He nodded at Liu Yun. ¡°Then, miss yang,¡± he said,¡±we¡¯ll let you see the results in the next few days. We¡¯ll take our leave now.¡± ¡°I hope so.¡± Under Yang Yue Yue¡¯s gaze, the few of them left the suite and slowly walked downstairs. Liu Yun was still unable to conceal her excitement. She took a deep breath and sighed, ¡°He¡¯s indeed a rich man. He can even take out hundreds of thousands of Yuan to squander.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said unhappily,¡±¡±Mom, Jossi is pretty rich too. Why don¡¯t we take it from her?¡± ¡°You little girl!¡± Liu Yun red at her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know what that bitch Jossi is like? She might give us the money on her own? But this miss Yang¡¯s suggestion is not bad. As long as we make that little slut unhappy, we can get a considerable sum of money. ¡± ¡°Dad, mom, why don¡¯t I get a bunch of hooligans to stop Jessi?¡± Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t think of any good ideas and only came up with a crooked idea, but this method was very effective. After hearing his words, Qiao Feng opened his mouth and said without hesitation,¡±¡±Your method is also feasible. Let¡¯s go back and discuss it.¡± ¡°If one won¡¯t do, we¡¯d better think of a few more. If we get the money, we don¡¯t have to go back to the town anymore. We can even live in the big city.¡± Liu Yun sighed and the few of them returned to their rooms to start nning how to deal with joesse. To them, the blue sky Apartment was not in their hands for the time being, but it was no different from something in their pocket. With Yang Yue Yue¡¯s powerful background promising to help them, things would be easier. Joes did not know about the dirty dealings behind the scenes, but she had a bad feeling about it. ¡­¡­¡­ Star Yuan design. ¡°Knock, knock!¡± Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the president¡¯s office, which disrupted Jossi¡¯s thoughts. She put down the brush in her hand and looked up slightly.¡±¡±Come in,¡± She had more or less guessed that it was Millie who hade to report something. He pushed the door open, and as expected, it was Miley, who was dressed in an ol suit and looked much more capable. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up a little, her mood was extremely good. It was noon, and the bright sunlight shone in through the transparent ss window, dyeing the entire office with ayer of gold. Joes, who was wearing arge coat, was bathed in the golden light. Her beautiful appearance was intoxicating. Even Millie, who was a woman, was stunned for a while before she could react. She smiled a little embarrassedly and praised,¡±¡±The president is so good-looking. I was dazed just now.¡± At that moment, Miley finally understood why the president of the Zheng¡¯s group and President Chen of Hengyuan investment both liked joesse. Chapter 221 - I can’t hold on much longer

Chapter 221: I can¡¯t hold on much longer

Joes was not only good-looking and capable, but even her personality was gentle in Millie¡¯s eyes. Of course, this was her miscalction. Joes, who was suddenly praised, blinked her eyes and could not help but smile.¡±Why are you suddenly saying this? Is that why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± ¡°No, no,¡± Millie came to her senses and shook her head. After that, the conversation turned to business. The atmosphere became more serious as if the teasing had never happened. It was better to be serious when dealing with serious matters. ¡°President, assistant li just called me,¡± said Miley. ¡°I heard that President Zheng has already been sent to Xingyuan design.¡± It¡¯s a five-minute drive at most, and we¡¯ll arrive at the Zheng¡¯s group. I¡¯ve also drafted the contract for the investment, you can take a look at it. ¡± ¡°Alright, bring it over.¡± Joes nodded. After saying that, Millie passed a document in a folder to Joes. It was the contract for investment cooperation. Zheng Zeyi was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group and had a powerful background. He had to be more careful when dealing with his matters. Joes took the document and opened it to read. She had already told Millie some of the regtions. The contract was almost perfect, and it was a very fair thing for both sides. ...... The Zheng¡¯s financial magnate had invested in thepany, and he would get a share of the annual dividends. He could even enjoy thepany¡¯s products at the first moment. This was a special right. After looking through the contract, joesse felt satisfied and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no problem with the contract. Thank you for your hard work. ¡± ¡°President, it¡¯s not hard at all. You told me most of the things.¡± Millie smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll reward you next time. ¡± Joes kept the matter of the bonus to herself. She would just give it directly to Millie when it was time to distribute it next month. He also had to thank Chen zuolin for this. If he had not sent Miley over to be his personal assistant, things would not have progressed so quickly. No matter how capable joesse was, she was only one person. She could not possibly carry star essence Corporation in her pocket all the time. With Millie around, coupled with her powerful abilities, Joes no longer had to worry about many things. She was a strong fighter. ¡°Is the reception room ready?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all ready,¡± Miley said.¡±I¡¯ll go down and bring President Zheng up in a while.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Joesughed. While the two of them were talking, a ck luxury car stopped at the entrance of Xing Yuan¡¯s design shop, which attracted the attention of many passers-by downstairs. As Xing Yuan design was located in a luxurious area of city h, there were still many pedestrians outside. At night, he stood in the star Yuan French window and looked out. It was an extremely beautiful night scene. At this moment, the scene was a little sensational. ¡°F * ck! Isn¡¯t this car too beautiful?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen this kind of car before. What brand is it? it seems to be a limited edition.¡± ¡°This is a limited edition Rolls-Royce, there are probably only a few of them in the world. I didn¡¯t expect to be lucky enough to see a nouveau riche today!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s that in the car? It can¡¯t be a middle-aged uncle, right?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The passerby stopped in their tracks and watched, feeling curious about the person in the carriage. Among these passers-by, only a few could recognize the brand of the car. Most of them thought it was a luxury car because of its cool appearance. In the back seat of the car, Zheng Zeyi was dressed in a perfectly tailored ck suit. His figure was slender and fit. That handsome face, in the dim light of the car, added a bit of charm, making people unable to look away. Fortunately, assistant li had been working at the Zheng Corporation for many years, so he was more or less immune to it. After he saw the ce, he looked around and said,¡±¡±President, we¡¯ve arrived at Xing Yuan design. Should we get off now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently. Upon hearing this, assistant li immediately understood what he meant. He opened the car door and jumped out, waiting for Zheng Zeyi. As soon as he came out, he heard the sighs of the passers-by, which seemed to be quite disappointed. Assistant li was speechless. He was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t even know what he had done. ¡°Wait, there seems to be someoneing out of the car. This is the owner, right?¡± A passerby suddenly said excitedly. His words also attracted the attention of other passers-by. The disappointment just now was swept away, and everyone looked at the car door eagerly. The car door was opened, and a man with a golden ratio and an appearance that angered both man and God walked out. He was Zheng Zeyi. Under the Golden sunlight, he walked with his back facing the light. His entire body was dyed gold, and each step he took was extremely steady. He was like a god that had descended to the mortal world, causing the passersby to be stunned. ¡°It¡¯s so good!¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome. Is this the overbearing President I¡¯ve always dreamed of?¡± A few women in the crowd screamed as they werepletely conquered by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s looks. Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly under the crowd. He looked a little displeased. He had originally wanted to go directly to the underground parking lot as it would be more convenient. He could take the elevator directly to the floor where joesse was. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he gave up on this idea. It was not because of anything else, but because if Zheng Zeyi had taken the elevator directly, the employees of Xing Yuan design would not have known that he was here. One had to know ... This was his goal. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up. His smile was intoxicating, and there were a few gasps around him. ¡°President, please go in first. I can¡¯t hold you back any longer.¡± Assistant li opened her eyes wide and said with a bitter face. His words attracted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attention, and his gaze fell on him. At this moment, assistant li was blocking some of the women who were about toe up and greet him. He was obviously lucky with women, but he had a bitter face. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and quickly walked into Xing Yuan design, leaving only his back view behind. Now that the main character was gone, the passersby were no longer as crazy as before and calmed down. Seeing this, assistant li also heaved a sigh of relief. When the crowd was noisy and no one had time to notice him, he quickly sneaked into thepany. As Zheng ze¡¯s assistant for more than a year, this was not the first time he had experienced such a situation. There were many times when Zheng ze would be surrounded by these women whenever he went out. Assistant li would always step forward to stop him. As he blocked, he gained experience. The passers-by were stopped at the door by the security guards. Assistant li entered Xing Yuan design and saw a familiar figure in front of her. She quickly ran over. Chapter 222

Chapter 222: It¡¯s my dream too

¡°President, wait for me,¡± he said as he ran. Zheng Zeyi did not stop at all. He only stopped when he passed by the front desk and looked at the front deskdy. ¡°You are ...¡± The receptionist was a very polite youngdy, unlike the crazy passersby outside, but she still blushed. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye. The little girl¡¯s heart beat faster. She didn¡¯t know who this person in front of her was, but he was too good looking! She had never seen such a good-looking person before. The front desk designed by Xingyuan was really good. Just as the youngdy at the front desk was lost in her thoughts, assistant li finally arrived at the front desk. He took out a business card and ced it on the table. ¡°This is our president¡¯s business card. The Zheng¡¯s group. You can call him and ask him. He knows.¡± Although he was panting a little, assistant li still managed to finish the sentence in one breath. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi was sizing up Xing Yuan design¡¯s interior decorations and some other designs with interest. It was barely passable. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask him now. Please wait a moment.¡± The little girl nodded shyly, picked up the phone, and began to call. ...... After confirming the answer, she returned the business card.¡±¡±President Zheng, I¡¯ve already confirmed it. We can go upstairs from here.¡± She pointed in the direction of the elevator, but her eyes peeked at Zheng Zeyi from time to time. Since this was his wife¡¯s employee, Zheng ze frowned slightly. However, he ignored her and strode towards the elevator. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Assistant li nodded and followed behind the president. The arrival of the two people attracted the attention of many staff members on the first floor, and they all slowed down what they were doing. Some people did not recognize Zheng Zeyi, but most people knew him. Almost everyone who had a little understanding of the business world knew him. After all, Zheng Zeyi was too famous. He was every woman¡¯s dream lover and an out-and-out diamond Bachelor. Moreover, he was running the Zheng¡¯s group. ¡°Oh my God, am I seeing things? Isn¡¯t that President Zheng from the Zheng¡¯s group?¡± An employee eximed. ¡°You¡¯re not mistaken, this is really President Zheng. Why is he in ourpany?¡± ¡°Could it be rted to the president?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. It¡¯ll be bad if you¡¯re heard. But I¡¯m also a little curious if it has something to do with the president.¡± At the thought of this, everyone was a little suspicious. They quickly whispered and discussed, their voices soft. Even so, Zheng Zeyi still heard most of the words. Very good ... This was the effect he wanted. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he walked into the elevator with assistant li and pressed the button for the third floor. He only needed to let the employees on the first floor know. In a few hours, the entire Xing Yuan designpany would know about this news. So what if Chen zuolin was the investor? He was the same. He had even cohabited with Joes before, but they were still fianc¨¦e in name. There was noparison between the two. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened at the thought of Chen zuolin. In an instant, the air pressure in the elevator was extremely low, as if they were in the outside world, and the cold wind was blowing on their faces. Assistant li shrunk his head and stood at the side without saying a word. He didn¡¯t know what the president was thinking about. ¡°Assistant li.¡± Suddenly, the three words entered his ears. Assistant li was shocked. He quickly raised his head and said,¡±¡±President, what¡¯s the matter?¡± He looked like he was on edge. Zheng Zeyi raised his brows slightly but did not say anything. Instead, he said,¡±¡±Have you prepared all the documents?¡± This investment was also a one-sided wish to develop Xing Yuan design better. When assistant li heard this question, he heaved a sigh of relief. He patted the briefcase in his hand and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. Everything has been settled.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi was quite satisfied. Not long after, the elevator reached the third floor. The elevator door slowly opened, and a clean corridor came into view. At this time, Mi Li was already waiting outside the elevator. When she saw the two people in the elevator, she was immediately attracted by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sword-like eyebrows and Starry Eyes. She was stunned for a moment before quicklying back to her senses. She lowered her head and said respectfully,¡±¡±Hello, President Zheng. President Qiao told me to pick you up. I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t make it in time.¡± After saying that, Miley raised her head, not daring to look Zheng Zeyi in the eye. The president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group was too good-looking. He was even better looking than President Chen. The thoughts in his heart spread and gradually flew out of the sky. Zheng Zeyi did not mind and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. Take us to President Qiao. ¡± Millie quickly reacted and nodded,¡±¡±Yes, President Zheng. Pleasee this way.¡± With that, the three of them walked towards the guest room together. After the youngdy at the front desk made the call, Joes had already heard the news and was waiting in the guest room. He also ordered Millie to go and pick them up, but she was still a littlete. Pushing open the door of the reception room, Zheng Zeyi saw a smiling joesse sitting on the ck chair. She was pondering over a document in front of her. When she heard the door open, she looked up and said with a smile,¡±¡±President Zheng, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°President Qiao, long time no see.¡± Zheng Zeyi emphasized thest few words. After all, the two of them were now living in the blue sky Apartment and they would see each other often. They had just metst night. This ¡°long time no see¡± seemed to be particrly meaningful. The corners of joesse¡¯s mouth twitched, and she pretended that she did not understand. She got up and beckoned Zheng Zeyi to sit opposite her. In the guest room, Qiao si si and Mi Li sat on one side, while Zheng Zeyi and assistant li sat opposite them. The contract on the table had already been drafted. After going through the document, Zheng Zeyi closed the folder and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, I also have great Expectations for the future of Xing Yuan design. This investment is a show of your trust in Xing Yuan. I hope you won¡¯t let me down. ¡± There was a smile in his eyes, and there was only one person reflected in them. It was as if the entire world could only amodate Qiao si. The atmosphere in the reception room changed slightly, but no one else noticed it except Millie. Joes looked into his eyes and blinked. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President Zheng. Xing Yuan design is also my dream. As long as there¡¯s a chance, I won¡¯t give up. I¡¯m determined to make it known to the public. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded. He had seen the contract that Joes had drawn up, and there were no problems with it. It was just as he had expected. Moreover, she was very kind to Zheng Zeyi, so her thoughts were obvious. Chapter 223

Chapter 223: We¡¯re in a cooperative rtionship now

Regarding the contract, Zheng Zeyi naturally did not have any objections, but he still wanted to add more terms. After listening to the story, joesse was shocked. ¡°President Zheng, Are you sure?¡± She said with aplicated look in her eyes. She had not expected the other party to make such a request. Zheng Zeyi smiled and raised his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯m sure. There are only a few uses. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems with making some changes, right?¡± ¡°This ...¡± Joesse was in a difficult position. Her face was filled with doubt as she suddenly could not understand what Zheng Zeyi was trying to do. ording to the agreement on the contract, 20% of the profits from Xing Yuan¡¯s designs would be given to Zheng Zeyi as a bonus. This was the profit from his investment, and also the price that Xing Yuan had to pay for his design. Joes already knew about this. It was already a good thing to be able to get an investor, let alone a bigpany like the Zheng¡¯spany. However, he had just said that he only needed ten percent. This was what Joes could not understand the most. Shouldn¡¯t all businessmen pursue profit? How could there be people pushing their interests away? She still couldn¡¯t understand it and asked,¡±¡±President Zheng, it¡¯s only natural for you to get this dividend with the amount you¡¯ve invested.¡± Moreover, from now on, Zheng Zeyi could be considered the major shareholder of Xing Yuan design,parable to Chen zuolin. ...... The amount he had invested was ten times more than Chen zuolin ¡®S. He had invested 100 million! ¡°No, 10% is enough. President Qiao should be happy that I said that. Are you not willing?¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a half-smile. There were desserts on the table. He didn¡¯t touch the snacks, but took a sip of ck tea. He was elegant and well-mannered, exuding a noble aura. He was natural and eye-catching. Joes forced herself to look away and shook her head slightly,¡±¡±President Zheng, I¡¯m not greedy for those profits. Since we¡¯ve already made an agreement, we¡¯ll stick to the 20% we agreed on at the beginning. ¡± His tone was very firm, as if he would not cooperate if he did not agree. Assistant li and Miley, who were sitting at the side, were dumbfounded. They had never seen such behavior. The others were all eager to earn more, but the two in front of them were pushing the money in their pockets to the other side. He didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. Millie¡¯s gaze swept across Qiao sisi¡¯s and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s faces, and a smile of understanding appeared on her face. ¡°I think I¡¯m right. President Zheng must like the president. That¡¯s why he¡¯s so attentive.¡± Millie thought. That was the only possibility. If not, why would the overbearing President Zheng treat him so well? Miley, who thought she had found the truth, waspletely relieved. No matter how the two pushed the profits away, she would not be surprised. Assistant li had already known about this. It was rare for the president to care so much about a woman, so he would not say anything. Most importantly ... They didn¡¯t dare to say anything. ¡°President Qiao, I¡¯m the investor, so my words should still hold some weight. 10%, that¡¯s settled.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s smile was gentle, but Jossi could see the slyness in his face. ¡°I don¡¯t agree!¡± Without waiting for her to finish, Zheng Zeyi handed the document to assistant li and said,¡±¡±Go and change that use.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Assistant li did not dare to look at joesse. After receiving the contract, he got up and prepared to amend it. The next second, however, Joes called out to him,¡±¡±Stop there.¡± Assistant li suddenly stopped in his tracks and felt like crying. What did these two want? Joes did not think too much about it. After taking the contract from assistant li, her expression became even moreplicated. ¡°You two can leave first,¡± she said to Miley and assistant li.¡±I want to talk to President Zheng alone.¡± After hearing this, Miley stood up and left without hesitation. Assistant li, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment. After seeing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s determined gaze, he strode out of the guest room. As the door was closed, the room suddenly became quiet. Joes took the documents and sat back on the ck chair. She said,¡±¡±What are you nning? Why did you give up so much?¡± Her eyes were sharp as she tried to see if there was anything wrong with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression. However, after looking at it for a long time, she couldn¡¯t see anything except that it was good-looking. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but look away. ¡°Me? I have too much money to spend. ¡± Zheng Zeyi revealed a devilish smile. His sharp brows raised a little and his eyes flickered. At that moment, it was as if joesse had been electrocuted, and she could not react in time. After she came back to her senses, she took a deep breath, picked up the ck tea, and took a big gulp. Only then did she feel a little better and looked straight into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. After hearing what he said, Jossi felt a little helpless, but she could not refute him. He was right. The Zheng family was a big family and they didn¡¯t care about such a small amount of money. A hundred million was nothing to Zheng Zeyi. However, it had apletely different meaning for the star essence design. It was already a timely help. Now that thepany was in its infancy, who else would be willing to invest other than Chen zuolin? Not only did Zheng Zeyi invest in it, but he also sponsored such a huge sum of money. Qiao si would remember this favor. Since that was the case, she couldn¡¯t let the other party suffer any losses, or else she wouldn¡¯t be able to live with it. Aftering to a conclusion, Joes¡¯s eyes became even more determined. The two of them looked at each other and she said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I won¡¯t change the 20%. If you agree, I, Jossi, will befriend you. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she revealed a sweet smile. Under the warm sunlight, she looked even more beautiful. Even Zheng Zeyi was stunned for a moment before his expression eased. His well-defined hand was caressing the teacup in a ce that Joes could not see, his movements slow and rhythmic. Not long after, a maic voice sounded,¡±¡±But what if we don¡¯t want to be friends?¡± Upon hearing that, joesse¡¯s smile instantly froze, before it gradually disappeared. She even started to criticize herself in her heart. ¡°F * ck! I should¡¯ve guessed it long ago. How could Zheng Zeyi let people off the stage!¡± Joes scolded herself in her heart. He made it sound like she really wanted to be friends with him, but he still gave her a way out. Since he didn¡¯t even want to give her a way out, why was she in a hurry? ¡°Since you¡¯ve already said so, there¡¯s no need to be friends. We¡¯re just business partners now, but don¡¯t change the 20%.¡± Joes said. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows and his expression turned ugly. Chapter 224

Chapter 224: How can you be so hasty?

Did he say something wrong just now? Realizing this problem, Zheng Zeyi raised his head and looked at joesse seriously.¡±I was just joking just now. President Qiao is willing to make things easy for me. It¡¯s my honor. We¡¯ll be friends from now on. ¡± The word ¡°friend¡± was clearly a very pure word, but Zheng Zeyi¡¯s enunciation of the word gave her a strange feeling. ¡°So, you¡¯re saying you agree?¡± Joes ignored the strange feeling in her heart. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi nodded and immediately wrote his name on the second part of the contract. It was extremely beautiful. The words were like the person, they were not ordinary. Upon seeing this, joesse took the contract and signed her name. At this point, the matter of cooperation was also settled. After settling an investor, Jossi was in a good mood. She beamed and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, you have good taste. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi looked at the time. It was gettingte, and it was time for him to return to the office to settle some matters. After saying goodbye, he walked towards the door. Assistant li had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw here out, he quickly said,¡±¡±President, we are now ...¡± ...... ¡°Back to thepany.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Assistant li quickly followed behind Zheng Zeyi and walked towards the elevator. His back view was extremely slender, and his figure was golden in proportion. Even though he was wearing a suit, one could still tell. Millie lowered her head slightly and looked at him curiously. She only realized what was going on after he disappeared into the elevator. He patted his head in frustration and said,¡±¡±Ah, I¡¯m stunned. This is the president¡¯s man. You can¡¯t do this.¡± After sorting out her emotions, Millie walked into the guest room and saw jorses who was finishing some refreshments. During the discussion of the cooperation, the exquisite refreshments on the table were almost untouched, only a few cups of ck tea were drunk. It would be a waste to throw it away, so she decided to solve it herself. Millie was already used to it. She walked to Joes ¡®side and asked,¡±¡±President, did you just sign the 20% contract with President Zheng?¡± Her eyes were filled with curiosity, wanting to know the answer to this question. Long before Miley and assistant li left, the two of them had been struggling with this issue, and they didn¡¯t know if they had reached a consensus in the end. However, President Zheng seemed to be in a good mood when he left, so he must have seeded. Upon hearing Millie¡¯s words, joesse put down a piece of mung bean cake in her hand and smiled.¡±¡±That¡¯s right, it¡¯s twenty percent. ¡± ¡°President Zheng, you agreed?¡± Millie did not expect this answer. ¡°Yes.¡± Joes nodded. She didn¡¯t say much about what had happened just now. More importantly, she felt embarrassed to say it. If Millie were to hear this, she would probably start thinking nonsense again, so it was better to keep it in her heart. ¡°You have a piece too.¡± Joesse passed a piece of exquisite red bean cake to Millie. She could not finish it all by herself. Millie wanted to refuse and say that she was on a diet, but when she saw the look in her president¡¯s eyes, she finally ate the cake silently. She didn¡¯t know why, but she felt that her CEO was bing more and more like that President Zheng. A single look was enough to shock everyone, and their temperament was quite simr. After finishing the desserts, joesse kept the contract and changed the topic to star dors,¡±¡±By the way, Miley, how¡¯s the publicity department?¡± Millie¡¯s face turned serious as she finished the red bean cake in her mouth. ¡°The publicity department has achieved sess, and the Inte is also very curious about star dors. Now, we just need to build our own brand. She should be able to gain a ce in the jewelry design industry very soon. President, what do you think?¡± Since it was called a jewelry designpany, it naturally had to have the strength to match it. For example, looking at Shiyupany, there were many good jewelry designers there, and each of them was very capable. In addition to Xiang Jinyu¡¯s abilities, it was not surprising that he was well-known. Now, it was time to make star essence one of them. After pondering for a while, joesse said,¡±¡±I understand. Keep an eye on Lin ya and the others and see how the fashion show¡¯s design drafts are going. I¡¯ll send it to boss Xu in a week¡¯s time. I¡¯ll draw a rough sketch first, and if there are no problems, I can start making it. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie agreed. After that, she left the guest room to busy herself with the matters at hand. Joesse did not stay any longer and looked at thepany¡¯s ount. As expected, she saw a 100 million transfer not long after. One hundred million ... Looking at the ounts on theputer screen, joesse blinked and could not help but count the string of zeros at the back. One had to admit that Zheng Zeyi was quite generous. He was willing to pay such a huge amount of blood. If he epted such a benefit and Joes only gave him 10% of the dividends, he would not be able to live with his conscience. After looking at the ount number, joesse closed the web page and focused her attention on the design drafts. She had already finished the design draft for the fashion show. This time, Chen Anna¡¯s design was also in the European and American style, so Joes had designed some beautiful jewelry to go with it. It looked good, but whether or not it could pass would depend on what President Xu said. ¡°In addition to fashion shows, it is also necessary to create a brand designed by Xing Yuan. High-end jewelry and jewelry that has entered the public market ...¡± Joes thought about it carefully and took out a design draft from the drawer. This was the ¡°deep sea¡± series that she had designed before, but it had not been perfected yet, and many ces needed polishing. Now that Joes was looking at the design draft again, she could see that there were many areas that needed to be modified. There were too many ws. Joes shook her head slightly and put the design drafts aside for the time being. She then began to work on the documents that Millie had presented. It was also the approval of some departments, some funds, and the contracts of some orders. For now, Joes had to deal with these things herself. When thepany grew stronger, Millie would be able to take care of some things. Joes spent the entire afternoon in the office. ¡­¡­¡­ Jiali hotel. Two women walked out of the hotel lobby. They were both wearing thick down jackets and looked simr. They were Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er, both of whom looked a little mean. ¡°Mom, dad has just arrived in city h, and he¡¯s already going to those ces to make bets. We don¡¯t have much money left, so how can we be so careless?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said unhappily. Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Please don¡¯t misunderstand

Liu Yun sighed and said,¡±Forget it. That¡¯s your father¡¯s personality. If he wants to make a bet, then let¡¯s make a bet. When he loses, he¡¯ll naturallye back.¡± ¡°Mom, you¡¯d better do something about it.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er furrowed her brows. She was even more displeased with this so-called family. This was also something that Joes did not know. A year ago, when she left city h to go abroad, Qiao Feng¡¯s family came to city h, but they couldn¡¯t find her. During this period of time, this so-called father of his had also experienced what it meant to be a true frivolous man in city H. He was even addicted to gambling. He was simply addicted to it and could not extricate himself. No matter how Liu Yun and the rest tried to stop them, it was useless. It was also because of this that the Qiao family¡¯s funds were stretched thin. Fortunately, Qiao Feng still had some brains. After knowing that he could not sell the house in his town, he temporarily gave up on the bet. For a moment, everything was calm, and the others had forgotten about this. But this time, aftering to city h, and with some money on hand, Qiao Feng immediately took it to the casino to gamble. Qiao Lei wasn¡¯t any better off. He took some money and ran around to mess around. Being in a big city was better than being in a small town. The two of them suddenly felt their hearts floating. Only Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er still remembered the purpose of their trip. ...... After hearing her daughter¡¯s words, although Liu Yun was angry, she had no choice. She was already old and frail. After leaving Qiao Feng, who else could he find? ¡°Alright, hai ¡®er, let¡¯s not talk about your dad and the others. As long as we can get that little b*tch¡¯s apartment, we¡¯ll have a ce to stand.¡± Liu Yun¡¯s eyes shed with malice. She had her eyes on joesse¡¯s Blue sky Apartment. It was such a luxurious apartment. Whether she sold it or let her live in it, it would be great. Moreover, getting it also meant that he would get a lot of money. With money, she would have the capital to manipte Qiao Feng. Ha ... What was that broken house in the small town? How much could it be worth? This was a big city, and it waspletely different. After hearing Liu Yun¡¯s words, Zhao Hai ¡®er put Qiao Feng to the back of her mind and said excitedly,¡±¡±Mom, do you think that method will really work? That woman said that she would help, but that B * tch Jossi is doing pretty well now. What if she doesn¡¯t keep her promise?¡± Liu Yun fell into deep thought. It wasn¡¯t impossible, but Yang Yue Yue¡¯s family was so big that she didn¡¯t have to lie. ¡°Hai ¡®er, just in case, let¡¯s get awyer¡¯s contact. The apartment is ours, remember that. If it¡¯s possible, get Jossi topensate us with a million or so. When you get married, it can also be used as your dowry. ¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face was filled with unconceble greed. With Yang Yue Yue¡¯s help, it would be much easier to get money from josisi. ¡°Alright!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded. She licked her lips and said with a smile,¡±¡±We¡¯ll threaten her with what happened in the past. If she doesn¡¯t pay, we¡¯ll expose her!¡± The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They both felt that this move had a chance of sess. After that, Liu Yun hired a taxi and headed in the direction that Xing Yuan had designed. This was the address that Yang Yue Yue had given them. It was said that this was Joes¡¯spany. As long as they went there to cause trouble, even if that B * tch did not pay, she could still destroy thepany¡¯s reputation! It was clear how vicious their minds were. From the very beginning, they had harbored the intention of destroying Joes. In the evening, the sunset glow reflected on the earth, and the afterglow was intoxicating. At this moment, in the president¡¯s office designed by Xing Yuan, joesse put down the pen in her hand and got up to move her body. After sitting for an entire afternoon, she did feel a little sore. The work at thepany these days was indeed quite high-intensity. She had decided to let the employees get off work early today. Thinking of this, Qiao si si took her phone and walked towards the second floor of thepany. On the second floor, Lin ya and the others were all busy with their work. Other than drawing the design drafts, the sound of the keyboard typing was also heard. Joes had just arrived and was greeted by such a harmonious scene. She could not help but reveal a faint smile. Soon, her arrival attracted the attention of the employees on the second floor. ¡°President!¡± Hai Lin¡¯s eyes widened. He stopped typing and quickly called out. With him taking the lead, the other employees also followed suit and temporarily put down their work. Joesughed and said,¡±don¡¯t be nervous. Everyone¡¯s been working hard these few days. I¡¯ll let you off early today.¡± After a few days, everyone will get a bonus. This is to reward you for your hard work. ¡± After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and her tone became even more solemn. As the president of Xing Yuan design, there was no doubt that Joes¡¯s words were credible. All the employees were in an uproar. ¡°All hail the mighty President!¡± ¡°Thank you, President!¡± The office was filled with cheers. Not only would they get a bonus, but they would also get off work early. It was indeed a benefit. ¡°It seems like our President Qiao is in a good mood today. Did something good happen?¡± Lin ya said with a smile. ¡°Good news?¡± Jossi asked in confusion. However, it was still a good thing. After all, there was one more Big Boss behind Xing Yuan¡¯s design. With Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Zheng¡¯s group as their backing and Hengyuan investment, no one would dare to provoke Xing Yuanpany. At the thought of this, joesse¡¯s mood improved. Lin ya didn¡¯t mean it that way. She raised her eyebrows and gave a meaningful smile.¡±Sisi, don¡¯t hide it from us. We just found out that young master Zheng came to thepany. Did you two repair your rtionship?¡± ¡°This ...¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. She did not expect Lin ya to say that. However, judging from the expressions of the other people in the office, they seemed to have the same idea. When Lin ya and Wang Li were working at Shiyupany, they had heard that she had an engagement with Zheng Zeyi and that they were fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e. And because of that incident, it caused a sensation in thepany. However, after Joes left the country, this matter died down and almost no one mentioned it again. Lin ya had asked her a few questions on the phone, but she had dodged them. It wasn¡¯t a big deal. At the thought of this, Jossi smiled.¡±¡±Don¡¯t misunderstand. President Zheng is here today to discuss the coboration. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Everyone in the office looked at each other and did not know what to say. Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Why are you here?

Lin ya blinked, but she didn¡¯t ask any more questions. Instead, she said,¡±¡±Then, thank you, President Qiao, for giving us an early holiday!¡± ¡°Yes, thank you, President Qiao!¡± ¡°President Qiao, you¡¯re too kind.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Wang Li smiled.¡±I think so too.¡± Jossi felt a little helpless in the face of her employees ¡®ttery, but she was still quite happy. This proved that everyone¡¯s rtionship was not bad. At work, she was her superior, but in private, they were not too far apart in age, so it was fine even if they called each other friends. Sisi, I¡¯ll go home first then. My mom has arranged a blind date for me tomorrow...I have to go home early.¡± Lin ya facepalmed. After hearing this, Joes could not help but feel a little surprised. Lin ya¡¯s mother arranged a blind date? ¡°Who¡¯s there? Have you not seen it before? You haven¡¯t tried to understand it?¡± Joes threw out a series of questions. After all, she was quite curious about this matter and didn¡¯t expect Lin ya to agree with her mother¡¯s idea. A blind date represented getting to know someone whom he had never met before, and even walking towards the hall of marriage. He didn¡¯t have any emotional Foundation, but he would consider all aspects. ...... Wang Liughed when she heard this. When she found out about this, she asked the same question. Hearing that, Lin ya sighed slightly, as if all her energy had been drained. She said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not very sure. I haven¡¯t even tried it. It was all arranged by my mother. I didn¡¯t want to agree at first, but my mom¡¯s expression made it hard to refuse. Anyway, let¡¯s just wait and see. There¡¯s a high chance that they won¡¯t agree. ¡± Lin ya¡¯s tone was firm and determined. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± After hearing this, joesse nodded her head in understanding. After that, the employees in the office slowly dispersed, while Joes and Lin ya gathered around and chatted for a while. Both of them were almost done with their design drafts. After letting Joes take a look, the design was pretty good. Compared to a year ago, his strength had improved a lot. Ten minutester. ¡°Sisi, we¡¯ll be leaving too. You should go home early.¡± Lin ya said, standing beside Miley and Wang Li. After saying goodbye, the three of them left thepany together. The sky was getting dark, and the lights in thepany had be night vision lights. It was quite dark and slightly scary. Joes tidied up the drafts that she had received and put them in a folder. Then, she left thepany with her bag. In the meantime, she nced at her watch. It was not toote, just around five in the evening. Usually, they got off work at Sixo¡¯ clock, which was neither too early nor toote. Today, they got off work one and a half hours earlier. Not only that, but he also gave them bonuses, which should be able to stabilize the employees in thepany. At the same time, there were two more people at the door designed by Xing Yuan. Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er got out of the taxi after they arrived. They were shocked to see the skyscraper in front of them. Such a high-rise building was actually that little b*tch¡¯spany? Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s faces twisted when they thought of that. They wondered what kind of rich man Joes had hooked up with. ¡°Mom, that little b*tch¡¯s background might be deeper than we thought.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was unwilling, but she still said it. If not, how could there be such a bigpany? One must know that Jossi was just a small employee in thepany previously. In just a short year, she had changed so much. Zhao Hai ¡®er and Liu Yun would never believe that she was relying on herself. Hearing this, Liu Yun gritted her teeth as her eyes shone with jealousy.¡±This little B * tch is actually living better than us! We¡¯re living frugally in the Qiao family, but she¡¯s actually enjoying wealth and glory in such a big city. We must make her pay the price. ¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know what kind of person would actually take a fancy to Jossi.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was so angry that she clenched her fists. The two of them were filled with an indescribable jealousy. A person who used to be within their control had now be such an existence. If Yang Yue Yue had not told them, Liu Yun and the rest would not have even thought about this. But now ... He had changed his appearance. Not long after, Liu Yun and Liu Liushi calmed down and took a step forward. Thepany¡¯s main door was indeed tightly shut. Looking at the lock, they were sure that thepany was not open for business, and the sky had just turned dark. ¡°Bang Bang!¡± Liu Yun was unwilling to give up. She knocked on the door, but there was still no response. What was going on? Did that little B * tch Joes get the news in advance? she even closed herpany! After knocking on the door to no avail, Liu Yun put her hand down resentfully. Zhao Hai ¡®er was also confused,¡±mom, they shouldn¡¯t be closing so early, right?¡± Could it be that Joes knows something?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. We¡¯ve never hidden anything. ¡± Liu Yun shook her head firmly. Evenst time at the blue sky Apartment, they didn¡¯t reveal anything. Joes should not have known that they were ordered to do so. Zhao Hai ¡®er thought about it and agreed,¡±¡±Since Jossi isn¡¯t here, we¡¯ll have to go to blue sky Apartment to look for her.¡± ¡°I wonder if that B * tch at the blue sky Apartment will let us in.¡± Liu Yun gritted her teeth in anger at the thought of Xiao Hong. If it wasn¡¯t for little Red¡¯s interventionst time, they would have gotten the spare key to the apartment long ago. When would it be Joes ¡®turn to be so awe-inspiring? She, Liu Yun, would never spit out something that she had eaten! ¡°Squeak ...¡± At this moment, thepany¡¯s door was suddenly pushed open with a slight sound. When Qiao si walked out of thepany, she saw Liu Yun and Liu Yun discussing something at the entrance. She frowned. Why were these two people here? Her appearance also attracted the attention of the two people. ¡°Joes!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes brightened. She looked as if she had seen something. He had thought that since thepany was closed, Jossi would not be here. He did not expect her to appear. Liu Yun¡¯s face lit up as well. It seemed like there was still a possibility of what had happened today. Upon seeing this, a faint ¡®Chuan¡¯ character appeared between Qiao SI¡¯s brows. She coldly said,¡±¡±Why are you here again? What else do you want from me?¡± Almost instantly, she guessed the purpose of these two people. It was because her family hade to city h at yang Yueyue¡¯s instigation, and their purpose was for her. Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227-be fat

Joes¡¯s face turned cold, but in the eyes of Liu Yun and Liu Yan, she was the one who was afraid. ¡°Jossi, we¡¯ve been looking for you for so long and we¡¯ve finally found you. You¡¯re not in the apartment now, how could you find the security guards?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er sneered. She was angry just thinking about what happenedst time. She didn¡¯t expect that she would be driven out by the security guards. It was too embarrassing. There was a pedestrian walkway outside Xing Yuan designpany, so there were not many people around. The three of them standing at thepany¡¯s entrance did not attract much attention. After hearing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s words, Joes sneered,¡±¡±If you want to find it, I can even find the guards for you.¡± ¡°B * tch, don¡¯t be so ungrateful. Your father has said it before. Since you¡¯re his daughter, your things are also his things.¡± Liu Yun said. At this point, she paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±So, we have to get that apartment!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I advise you to be more tactful! Be good and hand over the apartment. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said viciously, ring at Joes. The two of them echoed each other and resolutely treated the apartment as their own. They did not know where their confidence came from, but Jossi did not even give it to them thest time, let alone this time. As she stood in front of thepany¡¯s entrance, a gentle breeze blew past and lifted the ends of her hair, giving her a cold and arrogant feeling. Joes¡¯s face was expressionless, but her tone was filled with ridicule.¡±¡±Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself. If you really think of yourself as a father, you wouldn¡¯t do such a shameful thing.¡± She was referring to Liu Yun¡¯s promotion as the mistress. ...... If Qiao Feng really saw him as a father and felt that he had to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, he would not have done such a thing. Every time she thought of her mother¡¯s death, Qiao SI¡¯s hatred for the Qiao family would deepen, especially for Liu Yun. She squinted her eyes slightly, and the same emotion shed across her eyes. For some reason, Liu Yun felt a chill down her spine. It was really strange. Why was this little b*tch¡¯s gaze so terrifying! After the initial shock, Liu Yun snapped out of her daze. She felt ashamed for the fear she felt earlier. She was actually frightened by a young girl. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, or I¡¯ll dig out your eyeballs!¡± Liu Yun gritted her teeth. Her expression was a little twisted. If not for the fact that they were in public, she might really havee up to scratch Joes ¡®face. Joes ced her hand on the Taser in her pocket, but her expression did not change. ¡°Alright, I don¡¯t have time to talk to you. Get out of the way, I¡¯m leaving.¡± With that, she prepared to leave. However, Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er reacted quickly and blocked her way. It seemed like he wouldn¡¯t give up until he got the apartment. Rage welled up in Joes ¡®heart, but she took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. He couldn¡¯t get angry, otherwise, he would fall into their trap. In the next second, Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at each other and smiled. They both had an idea. ¡°Sisi, you can¡¯t do this. Your dad is seriously ill, how can you abandon him? You only have one dad!¡± Liu Yun started wailing loudly. She squeezed out a few drops of tears and wiped them on her face. Her expression was bitter, as if she had suffered a great grievance. Liu Yun¡¯s voice was particrly loud on the street, and it immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The passers-by all turned to look, and some even stopped to watch, wanting to know what had happened. Gossip moved people¡¯s hearts. Looking at this scene, Joes knew what she was up to. She wanted to use this method to make her let go. It had to be said that it was quite a beautiful idea, and the method was also good. Xing Yuan design wanted to have a foothold in h city, so it had to leave a good image for everyone. If the image that she had worked so hard to build up was ruined because of Liu Yun and the others, she would never let them off! As Joes was thinking, Zhao Hai ¡®er received a gaze and started acting,¡±¡±Sister, dad is really in the hospital. You have apany now. Can you help dad? I only need 100000 Yuan. I¡¯m begging you!¡± The two of them pretended to be pitiful, while Joes did not move an inch, causing the passersby to feel that it was unfair. ¡°Father is already in the hospital. This person has already started apany, yet he¡¯s still unwilling to part with this little money!¡± After a passerby finished speaking, another passerby also said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t even know the principle that the son wants to be raised but his parents are not around. If you don¡¯t know how to be filial now, it will be toote in the future.¡± The voices of the passersby were endless. There were many people watching, but none chose to speak. Not everyone could figure out the situation first, and under such circumstances, they would not speak casually. Behind joesse was the main entrance of Xing Yuan designpany, so it was easy to link the two together. Seeing that the fire was not strong enough, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes were filled with poison, and she decided to make a move. ¡°Little sister, even if you want me ...¡± He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. Joesse¡¯s expression was grave as she said,¡¯dad is in the hospital? You didn¡¯t tell me about this? My family didn¡¯t even inform me. You could have just called me. Why didn¡¯t you take care of her in the hospital?¡± After she finished speaking, she looked a little anxious and was about to leave. Zhao Hai ¡®er was stunned. She did not know how to respond. Even Liu Yun did not have the time to react. Zhao Hai ¡®er had originally wanted to nder Joes for liking her brother-inw. After all, these passersby did not know the truth. They had mainly used this moment of public opinion to force Jossi topromise. However, they did not expect her to interrupt them, and to put on an even better act than they did. This little B * tch was really too difficult to deal with! Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er had the same thought. She smiled bitterly and held Joes¡¯ hand. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,¡±¡±Jossi, give us what we want and we¡¯ll leave now. If you don¡¯t pay up, I¡¯ll turn yourpany upside down, and you won¡¯t be able to survive in h city!¡± The target had changed from the blue sky Apartment to 100000 Yuan. The difference was quite big. They also wanted to eat until they were fat, but it was obviously impossible at the moment. He would first take some benefits from Qiao sisi, then go back and join forces with Qiao Feng and the others to Sue her in court. In this way, the final reward would probably be the house in the blue sky Apartment. Liu Yun and the others had been eyeing a luxurious house for a long time. Joes¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but it was filled with worry. Chapter 228

Chapter 228: You must give us the blue sky Apartment

However, after hearing Liu Yun¡¯s words, the look in her eyes changed slightly, but no one could tell what her emotions were. Seeing no response, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±And we know more than one thing. If we go to your sugar daddy and say one or two things ... Everything you have now will turn into bubbles, not to mention living in city H. ¡± Sugar daddy? Upon hearing these two fresh words, Joris¡¯s face revealed a puzzled expression and her pupils contracted. Liu Yun didn¡¯t notice it, but when she saw her stunned expression, she thought that her threat had worked, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel proud. If he were to reveal that Joes had been defiled in the past, it would probably be impossible for this little B * tch to still be in the good books of her sugar daddy. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Joes asked after a moment of silence. Even Liu Yun took a step back and lowered her voice, but her expression remained the same. However, his voice was much softer so that the passersby wouldn¡¯t hear him. ¡°You were once betrothed to that fatty Jiang by me. If I were to spread the news, who would believe that you weren¡¯t defiled?¡± His nonchnt words immediately caused Joris¡¯s expression to turn ugly. She was really shameless to the extent that she could even nder him so easily. ...... If this matter were to be widely publicized, it would indeed be a big blow to the design of Xing Yuan. Even if the matter was cleared up in the end, the impact would still be there. Joes squinted her eyes and clenched her fists by her side. With a hint of anger, she said,¡±¡±Are you sure you want to do this? do you really think I can¡¯t deal with you?¡± he asked. ¡°Tsk, Jossi, let me tell you. We¡¯re in the right now!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said in disdain. Just as she finished her sentence, Liu Yun continued, ¡°That¡¯s right, as long as we keep harping on the topic of you being unfilial to your family, do you think you can make aeback? And if you didn¡¯t find a rich man in city h, how could you have opened such a bigpany? do you really think we don¡¯t know anything?¡± She sneered, as if she had heard something impossible. ¡°You guys ... Are really interesting.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows, clearly understanding what they meant. If there were no idents, it was probably the person who incited them toe to city h who told them that he had found a rich man. This way, the possibility of getting the money would be greater. Joes¡¯s eyes were unmoved, but she was thinking about how to resolve this matter. At the moment, it seemed that no matter whatments were released, it was not good news for Xing Yuan design. Liu Yun¡¯s eyes rolled as she looked at the surrounding passersby who were about to leave.¡±Sisi ...¡± But before he could finish, he was interrupted,¡±¡±Shut up,¡± he said. The two words and the threatening look in joesse¡¯s eyes made Liu Yun shut her mouth immediately. She was so shocked that she stopped talking. ¡°Mom, why did you listen to her and stop?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pulled on Liu Yun¡¯s sleeve unhappily. In her opinion, her mother¡¯s behavior was cowardly and embarrassing. Immediately, Liu Yun also reacted and said embarrassedly,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s hear what she has to say. ¡± ¡°Thene with me.¡± Joes nced at the two of them and left. Seeing this, Liu Yun and Liu Yan frowned but still chased after her. As he walked, he muttered in dissatisfaction,¡±¡±What does this little B * tch want to do?¡± This was a small road with buildings on both sides, which was considered a rtively corner. There were pedestrians passing by asionally, but not many. Even if there was any movement, it should not attract any attention. To prevent the two of them from having any other thoughts, Jossi hade here to talk. She stood in front of Liu Yun and said,¡±You want money, right? it¡¯s not impossible, but you have to promise me one thing.¡± Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes lit up in surprise. He had thought that it would be difficult to get money from Jossi, but he did not expect it to be resolved so quickly. It seemed like he still couldn¡¯t withstand the pressure of spreading public opinion. People like them who had businesses were most afraid of them spreading bad rumors outside, which would have a huge impact on their businesses. However, there was nothing wrong with thinking this way. Joes was also thinking about this. ¡°Joesse, do you think that you can send us away with a little money? We don¡¯t just want the money, we also want the apartment. ¡± Liu Yun said greedily. Zhao Hai ¡®er chimed in.¡±It¡¯s your blue sky Apartment. You have to give it to us. Otherwise, there¡¯s no room for discussion.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll fight to the death!¡± Joes said directly. Did he really take her for a fool? There was a reason for the payment this time. The main reason was that such a thing could not happen at the entrance of Xing Yuanpany. Thepany had just gotten back on track, so it was best to shut Liu Yun up. After that, he would think of another way to teach Liu Yun and the others a lesson so that they would not be too greedy. ¡°A life and death struggle?!¡± Liu Yun repeated in a low voice. Joes said coldly,¡±besides, I don¡¯t have any so-called sugar daddy here. Your threats have no effect on me.¡± If you force me, I¡¯ll give up thepany and make you suffer. What do you think?¡± Finally, she revealed a faint smile. It was clearly a smile, but in the eyes of Liu Yun and the other woman, a chill crept into their hearts. ¡°You ...¡± Liu Yun opened her mouth with difficulty, but she did not know what to say. Zhao Hai ¡®er was even more envious. She did not believe that joesse did not have a sugar daddy! He must have said that to cover it up. Zhao Hai ¡®er said angrily,¡±¡±Jossi, you B * tch! If you don¡¯t give us the blue sky Apartment, we¡¯ll definitely find the person backing you!¡± He did not know who it was that could help Jossi set up apany in city H. ¡°Go on, I¡¯m not stopping you.¡± Joesughed and did not seem to be angry at all. However, her calmness only made Zhao Hai ¡®er even angrier. She looked like a clown, and she wanted to rush up and hit her. However, there were people nearby, so he could only stop. ¡°Joss...You must give us blue sky Apartment!¡± Liu Yun furrowed her brows tightly, her tone determined. ¡°Since you don¡¯t have any intention of discussing this, I don¡¯t have to say anything more. I¡¯ll be leaving first. You can do whatever you want.¡± Joes shrugged her shoulders helplessly and turned around to leave in another direction. Chapter 229

Chapter 229: To carry on the family line

His back was resolute, and one could tell that he had made up his mind. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth and was about to give chase, but she was stopped by Liu Yun, who hesitated. Her hesitation was also because of the money. As for spreading rumors, Liu Yun felt that there was no rush for that. After all, her entire family was currently staying at Jiali hotel. However, he was really short on money. If he could obtain something from Joes first, it might not be a bad idea. After getting the money, she could not do anything if she turned around and sold Jossi. However, Liu Yun was still unwilling to ept the fact that she couldn¡¯t get that luxurious apartment. Her eyes were filled with hatred. ¡°Mom!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er tried to struggle. However, Liu Yun shook her head at her and said,¡±Hai ¡®er, your brother still owes us some money.¡± Hearing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er stopped what she was doing. She still looked angry, but she knew it was useless. The Qiao family¡¯s favoritism of men over women was not something that happened in a short period of time. It was the same even when joesse was still living here. In fact, Qiao Feng had always been indifferent to her. It was just that Qiao Lei¡¯s birth hadpletely aggravated it. In the year that Qiao sisi had been abroad, Qiao Lei had actually owed a lot of money. This was also one of the reasons why the Qiao family could not make ends meet. ...... It was about 40000 to 50000 Yuan, which was not a small amount. However, Liu Yun did not dare to tell Qiao Feng about this. Otherwise, the situation would not be so peaceful. After Liu Yun whispered something to Zhao Hai ¡®er, she said,¡±¡±Jossi, I promise you.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse stopped in her tracks. A faint smile appeared on her face, but she did not turn around. Instead, she listened to Liu Yun¡¯s words quietly. ¡°If you give us the money, we won¡¯t say anything for the next few days. But after a few days, we still want the blue sky Apartment!¡± Liu Yun gritted her teeth. Giving up ... Was something he really could not do. Joes turned around with a half-smile in her eyes,¡±¡±I don¡¯t care what you guys want to do in the future, but if you want money, you¡¯d better be quiet for the next few days. If it¡¯s possible, I¡¯ll transfer the money to you. If not, then we¡¯ll go our separate ways. I¡¯m not going to spoil you. ¡± ¡°Ha ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er sneered. If it wasn¡¯t for Qiao Lei¡¯s debt, she wouldn¡¯t have shut up. But if she didn¡¯t shut up, she would probably be taught a lesson when she got back. Liu Yun red at Joes and said,¡±¡± 100000 Yuan for three days!¡± ¡°A hundred thousand?¡± Joes¡¯s smile deepened. What an exorbitant demand ... She paused for a moment and directly reduced the number.¡±¡± 50000 Yuan, take it or leave it.¡± ¡°Fifty thousand? That¡¯s too little!¡± Liu Yun said with a look of disdain. What can 50000 Yuan do? He could only pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debt, and there was not much left. Joes looked at the watch on her wrist and said,¡±¡± 50000 Yuan, that¡¯s all I can give. Five days, don¡¯t go out and say anything. If you do, you won¡¯t get the money. ¡± ¡°Stingy!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed. Jossi pretended not to hear her words. She could not make the decision anyway, so why should she care? Liu Yun pondered for a moment, and her expression turned ugly. She also felt that the amount was too little. However, Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t wait too long either. Otherwise, Liu Yun wouldn¡¯t have asked her family toe to city h in such a hurry. He just wanted to gain some benefits from Joes. ¡°Fifty thousand Yuan, right? sure, but only for five days. After five days, we won¡¯t care about you!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face was filled with ruthlessness. Naturally, Joes could tell. However, it was worth it to stall for a while. In order to prevent Liu Yun from going back on her words, joesse had to make more preparations. After thinking for a while, she said,¡±if you guys agree, I¡¯ll transfer 50000 Yuan to you in ten days. 5000 a day.¡± To prevent you from spreading any negative remarks about thepany and causing losses. ¡± ¡°You!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s finger trembled slightly as she pointed at Qiao si. Her face was red with anger. Zhao Hai ¡®er patted her back and said,¡±¡±Mom, don¡¯t be angry. Not everyone knows what a human is and what a beast is.¡± ¡°Cough cough!¡± Liu Yun coughed loudly and patted her chest as if she had suffered a serious injury. The two of them sang in unison, and their cooperation was quite tacit. Not far away, Joes looked at this scene coldly, sped her hands together and said,¡±¡±Whether it¡¯s okay or not, just say one sentence.¡± Acting like this in front of her, those who didn¡¯t know would think that he was trying to gain sympathy. With the rtionship between the three of them, this kind of thing waspletely unnecessary. Liu Yun took a deep breath, her face as red as a fried shrimp. She said fiercely,¡±¡±Then 50000 Yuan it is. If we don¡¯t see the money, you can forget about your future.¡± ¡°You speak as if you won¡¯t be able to do anything in five days.¡± Joes was so angry that she almostughed. After the number was fixed, she had no intention to continue talking nonsense with Liu Yun. It was a waste of time and life. Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er were also looking at each other in disgust, and the atmosphere was filled with the smell of gunpowder. ¡°The money will be transferred to your card on time, so don¡¯te and provoke me during this time.¡± After saying that, Joes turned around and left the alley through another path, heading towards the ck BMW. Behind her, Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er could not hold back their emotions any longer. ¡°This little B * tch is getting harder and harder to deal with now. Or are our methods a little too soft?¡± Liu Yun stomped her feet in anger. If he had known earlier, he would have taken her to court directly. That way, the chances of getting the apartment would have been much higher. But now that he could get an extra 50000 Yuan, it wasn¡¯t a bad thing. Zhao Hai ¡®er was frustrated.¡±Mom, tell Qiao Lei not to gamble anymore. Where would we find a mountain of gold and silver for him to spend?¡± It would be fine if the Qiao family was a rich family, but they were just an ordinary small family. As an unfavored daughter, even she had to serve Qiao Lei before she got married. It was because this family valued men over women! Hearing that, Liu Yun looked at her with disappointment and said,¡±Xiao Lei is going to carry on the family line, how can you say that? We¡¯re a little tired now, but in the future, I¡¯ll still have to rely on Xiao Lei to support me!¡± ¡°Mom, then let¡¯s snatch more things from Joes! After five days, I¡¯ll Sue you in court!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t wait any longer when she thought of that. Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 230-things that each takes what they need

¡°There¡¯s no need to wait five days. ¡± Liu Yun waved her hand nonchntly. Zhao Hai ¡®er was confused. If she had not heard wrongly, Liu Yun had indeed told her topromise for five days. He didn¡¯t expect that now, it would actually be not needed. Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t figure out what was going on, so she asked,¡±¡±Mom, what do you mean?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back first. Ask that woman what she wants. If possible, Sue her.¡± Liu Yun was a little smug. Sometimes, connections were useful. The two of them gradually lowered their voices and their figures disappeared from the alley as they walked towards Jiali hotel. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other hand, the first thing that Qiao si did after returning to blue sky Apartment was to look for the transfer records to the Qiao family over the years. It was filled with the alimony for all these years. It was impossible to nder her with this evidence. Fortunately, Joes did not have the habit of deleting the transaction records, and the transaction records were still stored in her phone. There were all sorts of payment ounts and records. ¡°All of these added up to about a hundred thousand.¡± Joes mumbled softly and frowned slightly. ...... All these years, she had never carefully calcted it because Qiao Feng was her only blood rtive. She would naturally not forget about the alimony. Sometimes, not only Liu Yun, but Qiao Feng would also ask for more in different ways, even in the name of family. As her heart softened, joesse also gave it to him. Therefore, she didn¡¯t save much money. Instead, she transferred a huge amount of money to the Qiao family. ¡°I really wouldn¡¯t have known if I didn¡¯t see it. I was shocked when I saw it.¡± Joes smiled helplessly and saved the transaction records. She would print them out in the office the next day. They were all necessary evidence to avoid being used. On thepany¡¯s side, other than the design drafts that needed to be handed over to President Xu for a look, there was nothing else to be done for the time being. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated, and it was especially clear in the room. Upon seeing this, Joes took a look at the screen. It was a call from detective Wen. He must have found out about the matter he had asked him to investigate. The efficiency was still very high. After all, it had only been less than a day. ¡°Hello, detective Wen.¡± Joes picked up the phone and greeted him. ¡°Miss Qiao, I¡¯ve found out about the matter you asked me to investigate,¡± detective Wen said with a smile. Sure enough. Joes had long guessed that it was about this matter, and her brows rxed a lot. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll have to trouble detective Wen to tell me about it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After saying that, detective Wen began to share the information he had found that day.¡±¡±I¡¯ve investigated Jiali hotel. Yang¡¯spany is behind it, and it¡¯s a property under their name. This hotel is yang enterprise¡¯s most important business, so they put in a lot of effort and have always had a good image in the public eye. ¡± Jossi listened attentively to what he said. Jiali hotel, yang Corporation ... There were two very obvious pieces of evidence in front of her. It was indeed one of the two people she had guessed. Recalling the Yang Yue Yue in her memory, Qiao si SI¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Her eyes were not smiling, but filled with anger. Thest time they met at The 5s Store was probably the first time they had met in a year. He didn¡¯t expect her to be so impatient after only a few days. After investigating Jossi¡¯s background, he even specially informed the Jossi¡¯s family, who were far away in the small town, toe to h city to look for her. It was indeed in line with Yang Yue Yue¡¯s despicable methods. Even though Joes was a little angry, she quickly calmed down and continued to listen to detective Wen¡¯s words. ¡°But a year ago, something happened to miss yang, the one called yang Yueyue. There were some scandals, but they were quickly suppressed.¡± Detective Wen was the one who had investigated this matter a year ago. No one knew about this matter better than him. Yang¡¯spany was not considered a smallpany. After all, Jiali hotel was very famous in city H. In addition, with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s connections, no one dared to provoke them. ¡°So, the mastermind is ...¡± Joesse raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed like he was asking the obvious. Detective Wen didn¡¯t dy any further and immediately said a name,¡±¡±The Yang family¡¯s daughter, Yang Yue Yue.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Joes nodded. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s name was also crossed out. The most important thing right now was to resolve this matter. Otherwise, with the time for the fashion show approaching, there wouldn¡¯t be much time left to deal with it. She had promised Liu Yun that she would only have five days, but she could not ce too much hope on them since they were not trustworthy. For the sake of Xingyuan¡¯s design, it was best to have more evidence to turn the tables. This way, she could ensure that even if she went to court to confront her, she would not be defeated. It was easier to control the public opinion on the inte. Aftering up with an idea, Joes said,¡±¡±Detective Wen, if it¡¯s possible, can you get me some voice recordings?¡± ¡°A recording?¡± Detective Wen¡¯s voice was filled with doubt. ¡°It¡¯s a recording of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s conversation with the Qiao family. With the recording, it won¡¯t be easy for Yang Yue Yue to escape. But without this kind of key new evidence, it won¡¯t be easy to pull her down. Yang¡¯spany isn¡¯t stupid. ¡± Joes spoke with reason and evidence, exining each and every word clearly and analyzing the situation. It would be best if there was a recording, as it was decisive evidence that could turn the tables. Detective Wen was silent for two seconds before he replied,¡±¡±I¡¯ll try my best. If there are no idents, I should be able to get the recording. ¡± His ability was considered outstanding among detectives, and Chen Anna was lucky to be able to find him. If it was someone else, things might not have been resolved so easily. After hearing detective Wen¡¯s answer, Joes heaved a sigh of relief and said,¡±¡±Detective Wen, if you get the recording, I¡¯ll pay you more.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble miss Qiao.¡± Detective Wen smiled, feeling a little better. ¡°You¡¯re wee. We¡¯re both doing what we need. If you have any questions, call me again.¡± Joes said. She took a sip of the green tea in her hand. It tasted fresh and natural, and it was also slightly warm. After one mouthful, he felt much calmer. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After the greeting, detective Wen hung up the phone and went back to his work. It would not be easy to find the recording in Jiali hotel. Jiali hotel¡¯s security system was still very good, and there were often security guards patrolling, so the safety Index was extremely high. Even if detective Wen wanted to crack it, it would take some time. He would also have to investigate yang Yueyue¡¯s room. This was something that would take time, and it should not bepleted in a short time. Chapter 231 - Do you know that woman?

Chapter 231: Do you know that woman?

If that was not the case, Joes si would not have hoped to gain five days of time from Liu Yun. She had thought of this for a long time, but she didn¡¯t tell detective Wen. Now that detective Wen seemed to be somewhat confident, the hope of catching Yang Yue Yue¡¯s weakness was greater. ¡°Yang Yue Yue ... She¡¯s really like a ghost that can¡¯t leave.¡± Jossi raised her eyebrows and smiled. She did not think about these troubling matters anymore and instead focused on thepany¡¯s matters. These scumbags were really annoying day by day. She had to sort out the design drafts of Xingyuan¡¯s design and send them all to President Xu for him to take a look. Thinking of this, Qiao si opened her contact list and found President Xu¡¯s phone number. After hesitating for a moment, she called him and decided to ask. ¡± The dial tone came from the phone, but no one picked up after a long time. Qiao sisi raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to send a text message, President Xu picked up the phone,¡±¡±Hello,¡± he said. Upon hearing this familiar voice, Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±President Xu, it¡¯s me ... Jossi.¡± It was unlikely that President Xu had forgotten about her. ...... Sure enough, after a moment of silence, President Xu immediately said,¡±¡±So it¡¯s President Qiao. I¡¯ve been busy with many things at the fashion show these days, so I haven¡¯t been in touch for a while.¡± Then, he sighed and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s a problem with the venue for the fashion show, so it can¡¯t be held for the time being. It might be postponed for a week or two.¡± ¡°Pushed back?¡± Joes¡¯s face was filled with doubt and disbelief. It had only been a few days and such a thing had actually happened. ording to the original n, the fashion show would be held in the next few days. However, looking at President Xu¡¯s intention, if there was a problem with the venue, he was afraid that there was no way to solve it in a short time. It would take at least two weeks. They could only hold it after the venue was settled. No one knew what had happened. When President Xu heard the question, he exined,¡±¡±It¡¯s just that our partner¡¯s site has been damaged and needs to be repaired. ¡± Qiao Si was even more confused. However, since President Xu did not say much, she naturally did not ask. ¡°Then, boss Xu, can I touch up my design drafts and send them to you in a few days?¡± Joes asked. Since there was still time, there was still time to fix the ws in the design drafts. Lin ya¡¯s design was actually pretty good. She had learned a lot after studying abroad for a year. If he were to use it, he felt that there were still some ws in the design. After hearing her words, President Xu smiled and said,¡±¡±Of course I can. If I need it, I¡¯lle to you again.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes raised her eyebrows slightly. The two of them didn¡¯t have any other topics to talk about other than cooperation. After a few casual words, they hung up the phone and went to do their own things. At night, joesse prepared a simple meal for herself. After she was full, she tidied up all the evidence. The evidence about the Qiao family. For example, there were transfer records, as well as some text message records. There were also many times where he had sent text messages to ask for money. ¡°Next ... It¡¯s up to detective Wen. After getting the recording, the situation ispletely settled.¡± Joes mumbled softly. What she said was right. The recording was the key to making the final decision. At that moment, the detective Wen that she had been thinking about had disguised himself as a cleaner and sneaked into Jiali hotel. He even found Yang Yue Yue¡¯s room and took the opportunity to install a small bug. It was ced in a small trash can next to the sofa. In a big hotel like this, there would be cleanersing every day to clean up the trash. As long as he set up everything and came back tomorrow, he would be able to get some evidence if he was lucky. The other one was installed under the table. It was a double arrangement to prevent any idents. The next few days were rtively peaceful. After Joes told Lin ya and the others about the ws in the design drafts, the few of them benefited greatly and should be able to go further on this path. On Liu Yun¡¯s side, for some reason, it had quietened down as well. It was like the calm before the storm. Even if something really happened in the end, Joes was not afraid. She would just take this 50000 dors as the cost of severing their rtionship in court. 50,000 Yuan was divided into five days and she transferred it to each of them. He had also set up some measures on the inte to ensure that Xing Yuan¡¯s design was not a problem. There was no need to worry about anything else. On this day, after joesse left the house, she sat in a ck BMW with a bag of fruit on the passenger seat. It had been almost a week, and it was time to visit old master Zheng. As for the other matters, there was nothing particrly urgent at the moment, so they could be put aside for the time being. Boom ... Boom ... After starting the car, Jossi drove towards the private hospital in the city center of h city and arrived in a few minutes. The hospital wasn¡¯t crowded. In fact, it was a little cold and quiet. The heater was on, which warmed up the People¡¯s bodies. Joes carried a bag of fruits and smiled at the sweet-looking nurse who passed by before continuing to walk forward. In front of him was a man with a golden ratio and a tall figure. He was wearing a white shirt. Just from his back, one could tell that he had an extraordinary temperament. The young nurses who were walking towards him were all stunned. They stopped in their tracks and looked at the man with Red stars in their eyes. Joes blinked her eyes. She felt that this back view was somewhat familiar, and gradually matched it with someone in her memory. She called out with uncertainty,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi?¡± The two words were indeed heard instantly. The man in front stopped and slowly turned around. He had sharp, three-dimensional facial features and deep, Starry Eyes. At this moment, his thin lips were slightly pursed, but one could see a smile for no reason. It was indeed Zheng Zeyi! After confirming it, joesse¡¯s mouth twitched. It seemed like she hade at the wrong time. Meanwhile, Zheng Zeyi walked straight towards them, causing a group of young nurses to exim in surprise. ¡°Heavens, where is he going?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Could it be that he knows that woman?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so lucky. I also want to get to know my idol. ¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Whispers continued to ring out as everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the two of them, as if they were spotlights. Looking at the person who was getting closer and closer to her, joesse was stunned for a moment. She was unable to regain her senses for a long time, and her face turned red. When she woke up, a fresh scent entered her nose. It was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smell. It smelled good and fresh. Chapter 232

Chapter 232: What¡¯s wrong with you

After she came to her senses, Joes wanted to find a hole and hide in it. It waspletely different from what she had imagined. The naked gazes of the young nurses around her really made her a little embarrassed. However, Zheng Zeyi, who was in front of her, did not seem to notice this at all. His maic voice rang out,¡±Sisi, you¡¯re here to see my grandfather too?¡± Although it was a question, she could hear that he was very certain. After all, other than old master Zheng, who else could Jossi visit in this private hospital? Joes forced herself to ignore the whispers of the young nurses and forced a smile.¡±¡±Y-yes, what a coincidence. You¡¯re here to see Grandpa Zheng too?¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go together then.¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He did not say anything and instead held joesse¡¯s hand. He also took the fruit from her hand as if it was his without any psychological burden. The moment the two of them held hands, the gazes around them became even more fiery. Many young nurses lowered their heads in disappointment. As expected ... Such handsome men were usually taken. It would be difficult for them to get their turn. The warmth from her hand surprised Joes and made her feel even more embarrassed. She tried to struggle. ...... However, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s strength was much greater than hers. He used a little more strength but did not hurt her hand. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing?¡± Joes blushed slightly and said coyly. She could not help but re at Zheng Zeyi. However, she didn¡¯t know how charming her eyes were. Zheng Zeyi, however, saw it clearly. He let out a lowugh and waved their tightly sped hands. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we could be friends? It¡¯s only been a few days and you¡¯ve already forgotten about it. It¡¯s normal for friends to hold hands, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone carried a hint of a smile, but the gaze he used to look at joesse was a little dark, as if he was hiding his desire. Normal? Joes choked and did not know how to reply. It was normal for friends to hold hands, but they were friends of the opposite sex and they weren¡¯t familiar with each other. Wouldn¡¯t it cause a misunderstanding if he did that in public? At the thought of this, Joes quickly said,¡±¡±President Zheng ... No, no, Zheng Zeyi, you can¡¯t say that. There¡¯s another saying that men and women should not touch each other. We¡¯re friends, but it¡¯s not good to hold hands in front of so many people. It¡¯ll be misunderstood. ¡± She was about to break free when she realized that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grip on her had tightened. She felt a little pain. ¡°Hiss ...¡± Hearing this voice, Zheng Zeyi quickly let go of her and asked worriedly,¡±¡±Are you alright?¡± He picked up Joes¡¯s hand and checked it. Fortunately, it was only a red mark. Although it wasn¡¯t very deep, it was still caused by him. Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly and hesitated for a while before saying,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry. ¡± The arrogant and powerful President of the Zheng¡¯s group had actually bowed down to a woman. It was not just Jossi, even the nurses who were watching themotion were stunned. They didn¡¯t know Zheng Zeyi¡¯s identity, but a man like him who was gentlemanly and knew when to advance and when to retreat would give them a good impression. The surrounding voices grew louder, but joesse turned a deaf ear to them. She rarely heard Zheng ze apologize. At this moment, even if there was any anger in his heart, it had already dissipated. Joes could not help but smile. She shook her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not that weak. You don¡¯t have to apologize to me. ¡± Her heart felt as if it had just eaten honey, but she had yet to notice the change in her mood. The feeling of being valued by others was still very good. Hearing Qiao sisi¡¯s words, Zheng Zeyi was still a little worried.¡±Why don¡¯t you go and apply some medicine?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Before joesse could finish her sentence, Zheng ze pulled her to the medicine stall. The young nurses also looked regretful, and after they saw the patient leave, they became even more disinterested. ¡°When will I be able to meet such a handsome man who treats me so well?¡± A nurse said with some envy. ¡°I want that too,¡± the others chimed in.¡±Besides, that man looks rich and handsome.¡± ¡°That girl is so lucky!¡± The voices behind her entered her ears one by one, and Qiao SI¡¯s heart beat faster. She was pulled forward by Zheng ze. They arrived at the pharmacy in no time. Zheng ze acted swiftly and asked the doctor inside for an ointment. Joes opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say that she was making a mountain out of a molehill, but in the end, she did not say anything. Sitting on a chair in the corridor of the hospital, Joes nced at her wrist. The red mark had faded a lot. It was also because her skin was rtively tender, otherwise it would not be so obvious. Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows and took out the ointment. He applied a little on his fingertips and carefully lifted up joesse¡¯s wrist. Seeing this, she said in embarrassment,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, how about I do it myself? It¡¯s just a little red mark, it¡¯s not a big deal. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it. ¡± A voice that made people feel inexplicably at ease rang out. Even if they had any thoughts in their hearts, they eventually turned into bubbles. Joesse heaved a sigh of relief and watched Zheng Zeyi apply the medicine for her. The cool ointment on her fingertips was gently applied to her wrist, and it felt like an electric current was running through her. She pursed her lips and tried her best not to let anyone notice her unusual behavior. However, he couldn¡¯t bear to look away. After all, there was a saying that a serious man was the most handsome. At that moment, Zheng Zeyi was not working. Instead, he was applying medicine for her. However, that perfect and wless face was still mesmerizing. Qiao si looked at him for a long time. She only looked away after Zheng Zeyi had finished applying the ointment. At the same time, he also felt that his actions just now were ridiculous. ¡°Jossi, what¡¯s wrong with you! You¡¯ve been staring at Zheng Zeyi for such a long time. How embarrassing would it be if he finds out!¡± Joes scolded herself in her heart. She really had no future. Wasn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi just a little more handsome and a little more wealthy? did she have to fall for him so directly? Besides, Zheng Zeyi had many shorings. He was arbitrary, overbearing, and had a particrly poisonous tongue! After listing a few ws in his heart, the feeling of being moved dissipated a lot, and even his emotions calmed down. Joesse heaved a sigh of relief and looked at her wrist, which was already intact. There was still the fragrance of ointment. Meanwhile, Zheng Zeyi, who was sitting opposite her, did not realize that a huge drama was ying out in Joes¡¯s heart in such a short period of time. Chapter 233

Chapter 233: A year and a half

After applying the medicine, Zheng ze stuffed the ointment into joesse¡¯s arms and picked up a te of fruits. ¡°When you go back tonight, remember to apply the ointment again. I used a little more force just now, so it might hurt a little.¡± Upon hearing these instructions, joesse could not help but steal a nce at Zheng Zeyi. However, she realized that his eyes seemed to have stars in them. It was really good looking. With this thought in mind, Joes¡¯s attitude was much better than before. ¡°Okay, I know. Thank you.¡± She smiled sweetly and her voice was as clear as an Oriole. Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t care much about it. Instead, he gently held her other hand and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to my grandfather¡¯s ward. ¡± Bring? Even though joesse was a little confused, she still stood up and left with Zheng ze. However, on the way, he asked,¡±¡±Did old master Zheng change his Ward?¡± If that was not the case, Zheng Zeyi would not have said that he would bring her along. Zheng Zeyi nodded. His steps were steady and rhythmic as he said, ¡°That¡¯s right. He was transferred to another vip Ward. ¡± Joes understood and did not ask further. ...... They walked down the corridor and found that old man Zheng¡¯s new Ward was about four or five wards away. The door was tightly shut. Zheng ze reached out and knocked on the door.¡±Knock Knock¡± ¡°Come in.¡± Old man Zheng¡¯s familiar voice came from inside. Zheng Zeyi pushed the door open without hesitation and walked in with Joes. At this moment, the two of them werepletely stunned. The ward was huge, at least twice as big as the original one, and it even came with a small balcony. The warm sunlight shone in from the outside, shining on the White bed and the nket on it, giving off a warm feeling. In addition, this was also a single Ward. Theyout was rtively simple, but it was low-key luxury. From this, it could be seen that old master Zheng was almost ready to stay in the hospital for a long time. What was the point of being discharged before Zheng Zeyi settled his granddaughter-inw? It was better to stay in the hospital. asionally, some people woulde to visit him, and he would chat with the other patients in the hospital. It was also a morefortable thing. However ... The main reason why Zheng Zeyi and joesse were stunned was not because of the ward. Instead, it was because there were many people standing in the ward. Most of them were old men and women, wearing floral clothes and looking at them kindly. Almost instantly, Zheng ze reacted. He looked at old master Zheng indifferently, only to see thetter lowering his head guiltily. Old master Zheng touched his nose in embarrassment. It was not because he was bored in the hospital, so he had called some old friends over to chat. Who knew that it would be such a coincidence that Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi would arrive not long after they arrived? If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have invited these old friends to visit him. He even seemed to be having a good time chatting with them. If Jossi thought that there was nothing wrong with his illness and reduced the number of visits, it would probably be toote for old man Zheng to regret it. Joesse was stunned for a while before she reacted. She clenched her fists as Zheng ze noticed her little abnormality. He turned his head and nced at her. It seemed ... That his wife was a little nervous. Surprisingly, she adjusted herself very quickly. ¡°Hello, Grandpa, grandma. My name is Qiao sisi. I¡¯m Zeyi¡¯s girlfriend, and I can be considered his fianc¨¦e.¡± Joes said with a smile. The smile on her face was sweet, and one could tell at a nce that she was an obedient child. Then, she took the bag of fruits from Zheng Zeyi, walked quickly to the bed, and ced it on the cab next to it. ¡°These are the fruits I bought. Grandpa Zheng, eat more fruits and vegetables. It¡¯s good for your health.¡± Seeing her gentle attitude, old master Zheng was even happier, but he still remembered his task of pretending to be sick. Old man Zheng coughed and said weakly,¡±¡±Sisi...Good girl, you¡¯re so kind.¡± Seeing him like this, the other old friends in the ward could not help but shrug their shoulders helplessly, but they did not say anything. His grandson was currently wooing his granddaughter-inw, and the words he said would not end well. ¡°Child, your name is sisi, right? You can call me grandma Lin. ¡± An olddy said with a smile. There were some people in the ward whom Joes had seen at thest birthday party, and some whom she had not seen before and might not have had the time to attend the party. Old master Qin, who had a good time arguing with old master Zhengst time, was also present, but he was standing quite far away from the hospital bed. No matter what the reason was, she had to respect these old grandpas and grandmas. ¡°Hello, grandma Lin,¡± Joes said with a smile, her eyes curved. After greeting the elderly in the ward, joesse heaved a sigh of relief. Zheng Zeyi did not ignore them and greeted them. After all, they were old friends of his grandfather. He had also helped the Zheng¡¯s group A lot. Just then, old man Zheng picked up an Apple from the bag beside him. Just as he was about to peel it, someone took it away. It was Jossi. Joes picked up a knife and said as she peeled the Apple,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, you could have told me about such a small matter and let me handle it. You¡¯re not in good health right now. Rest well and you¡¯ll definitely get better. After you¡¯re discharged, I¡¯ll make you some delicious food. ¡± At the end of his sentence, his tone was tinged with a smile. Old man Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and smiled.¡±¡±I¡¯ll have to trouble you then, sisi. ¡± He looked at his future granddaughter-inw¡¯s serious expression and his heart was even more determined. His judgment was indeed not bad. He definitely couldn¡¯t give up such a good granddaughter-inw. His son couldn¡¯t be single for the rest of his life. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, what are you saying? it¡¯s not troublesome at all.¡± Joes shook her head. The kind and loving scene made many old grandpas and grandmas envious. After all, many of their grandsons had not found a wife yet. If he could find someone like Joes, who was not only virtuous on the surface, he would be considered lucky. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi, who had a strong aura, attracted the attention of many people. For example, grandma Lin immediately threw the question to Zheng Zeyi.¡±¡±Ze Yi, when did you and sisi meet?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and a strange look shed across his eyes. However, he didn¡¯t lie to grandma Lin¡¯s question. Instead, he said,¡±¡±We¡¯ve known each other for a year and a half. We were together for half a year. ¡± Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Directly settled

It could be said that he didn¡¯t change his face even when he was lying. Qiao SI¡¯s hand that was peeling the Apple stopped. She wanted to look up to see Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression. However, he had a faint smile on his face, and it was watertight. Grandma Lin was a little indignant. She wanted to fight for such a good girl. She still had a grandson at home who was not settled. However, it would be difficult to snatch someone from Zheng ze. And elder Zheng ... Thinking of this, grandma Lin looked at the happy old man Zheng sitting on the bed. Forget it, she¡¯d better give up. ¡°As a man, family matters can¡¯t be dyed, but your career is the most important. A man without a career is the worst failure. Zeyi, you should understand this, right?¡± By the time she finished her sentence, Joes was almost done peeling the Apple. She handed the clean Apple to old master Zheng. The corners of old master Zheng¡¯s mouth twitched, but he took it without a change in expression. He took a bite, and the sweet taste entered his throat. He was still thinking about what old Qin was up to. After hearing old master Qin¡¯s words, Zheng Zeyi was silent for two seconds before he finally said,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin¡¯s words make sense.¡± ...... Otherwise, he would really have nothing to say. In terms of business, the Zheng¡¯s group had already reached its peak. Not only in China, but also abroad, they had businesses and various partners. Whether it was funds or Foundation, they didn¡¯tck anything. Therefore, the only weakness left was the family conflict. That¡¯s right ... It was the internal conflict of the Zheng family. The thing that old master Zheng regretted the most was that he had had high hopes for Zheng lihan back then and had even given him some of thepany¡¯s shares when he was an adult. At that time, old master Zheng did not expect his son to abandon his wife and son in the future. Otherwise, he would not have given him the shares. He was already being merciful by not chasing him out of the Zheng family. Asking for shares was even more impossible. However, there were no¡¯ ifs ¡®in this world. The current situation was that Zheng lihan¡¯s shares were a big problem. He was considered a major shareholder of the Zheng Corporation. If he kept harping on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mistake, it was likely that he would make his other son, Zheng Zeyu, the younger brother who had been eyeing the Zheng Corporation covetously. Zheng lihan had already broken up with Zheng ze and wanted his youngest son to inherit the Zheng family, but he had not thought about whether he was cut out for it. Many thoughts shed through Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mind, but he did not show it on his face. He was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened. Old master Qin did not say anything else. Instead, he looked at Joes and smiled. ¡°Sisi.¡± Upon hearing this voice, Jossi smiled and said politely,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, how are you?¡± ¡°Sisi, I can tell you¡¯re a good kid with one look. What do you usually do?¡± Old master Qin said with a smile. His attitude waspletely different from before. Old master Zheng couldn¡¯t help but be on his guard. Was old Qin trying to steal his granddaughter-inw? Without waiting for Qiao sisi to speak, Zheng Zeyi answered on her behalf,¡±¡±She has apany.¡± Thepany? The old men and women present looked at each other. Didn¡¯t elder Zheng say that sisi¡¯s family background was rtively ordinary? why was she amoner now? Hearing this, old master Zheng¡¯s mouth twitched. He had forgotten to mention this. After Qiao si returned to the country, she set up a Xing Yuan designpany and entered the jewelry design industry. Recently, he had be even more famous. However, these old grandpas and grandmas no longer cared much about business matters, so they naturally wouldn¡¯t specially investigate. He did not know that behind Xing Yuan was actually this well-behaved girl in front of him. Most importantly ... Chen zuolin, who was invested in by Hengyuan, was also involved in the Xingyuan project. That was why old master Zheng had deliberately neglected this point. He did not expect Zheng Zeyi to bring it up again. ¡°Sisi has apany? whatpany?¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s acting skills were superb. He pretended that he didn¡¯t know anything and looked confused. However, it did not escape Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. He nced at it but did not say anything. The other olddies didn¡¯t know about this either. One of the olddies asked,¡±¡±Sisi, whatpany are you running, Joe?¡± Jossiughed and replied,¡±¡±Grandma Wen, mypany mainly serves the jewelry industry. I¡¯m also a jewelry designer.¡± The smile on her face brightened. When it came to things he liked, he would always be more patient. Grandma Wen couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. She asked,¡±¡±A jewelry designer?¡± Other than grandma Wen, the other old men and women were also very surprised, as if they had heard some shocking news. The ward, which was originally bustling with noise and excitement, suddenly quieted down. Especially the old Qin master, whose head was slightly lowered and his face was covered by shadows. No one could tell what his emotions were. What happened? Looking at this scene, Joes frowned slightly. She was a little flustered as well, wondering if she had said something wrong. Or ... The jewelry designer¡¯s problem? Just as she was about to get the answer, a hand suddenlynded on her shoulder. Even without looking back, she knew it was Zheng Zeyi. For some reason, after Zheng Zeyi ced his hand on her shoulder, Qiao SI¡¯s emotions calmed down a lot. She turned around and smiled at the handsome man to express her gratitude. After a moment of silence, the old grandpas and grandmas realized that something was wrong and spoke up. Sisi, don¡¯t overthink it ... I just thought of something in the past, it¡¯s not that I have any opinions about jewelry designers.¡± Grandma Wen quickly exined. Looking at her, Joes shook her head andughed,¡±¡±Grandma Wen, I¡¯m not overthinking it. It¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Sisi, we used to have a friend who was a jewelry designer, but after he left, I heard you mention it, so I felt a little touched.¡± Another old man said. Many people exined to Joes, which made her feel a little overwhelmed. After all, the people present were all former big shots, and their attitudes towards her were a little too polite. On the other side, old master Zheng was sitting on the hospital bed. He was about to Pat his granddaughter-inw¡¯s shoulder when he saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and retracted his hand. Forget it, I¡¯d better not move. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, sisi. Don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯m happy to see you and Zeyi helping each other today.¡± At this point, old master Zheng paused for a moment. After mulling it over for a while, he continued,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t we talk about the wedding date today? if it¡¯s possible, we can directly set it.¡± Chapter 235

Chapter 235: He actually agreed

Wedding date? Joes¡¯s eyes widened, her bright eyes filled with shock. She waspletely unable to react. Old master Zheng obviously didn¡¯t realize that his words had set off a storm in a certain someone¡¯s heart, and he hadpletely forgotten about the previous matter. After a moment of shock and realizing that something was wrong with her, Joes calmed down a little and forced a smile. However, she was panicking in her heart. They were already talking about the wedding date. Could she still escape unscathed as she had imagined? The answer was naturally No. Before Jossi could think of an excuse, the other grandpas and grandmas spoke up one after another, as if they were assisted by the gods. ¡°Elder Zheng is right. It¡¯s better to settle this as soon as possible and hold the engagement party first. As for the wedding banquet, there¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s get along for a year or two first. After we¡¯re on the right track, it¡¯ll be best to hold the wedding banquet and inform everyone. ¡± Grandma Wen said with a smile. Her eyes were very kind. She looked at Zheng Zeyi and then at Qiao si. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was, and he couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly. In addition to grandma Wen, grandma Lin also said,¡±¡±Little min is right. It¡¯s best to hold the engagement party as soon as possible. I don¡¯t think many people in city h know that sisi and Zeyi are together.¡± ¡°You¡¯re all good children. Let¡¯s settle the engagement first. We can discuss the wedding date slowly, in case others don¡¯t know.¡± ...... The sound of chattering rang out. Everyone had different opinions about the wedding banquet, but there was one opinion that was exactly the same. That was the engagement party, and it was best to hold it as soon as possible. Even old master Qin, who had always been dismissive of old master Zheng, didn¡¯t take this matter as seriously as before. Even if they were enemies, they had fought side by side and known each other for so many years. Naturally, it was impossible for them not to wish for their good friends to live better and better. After hearing everyone¡¯s opinions, old master Zheng smiled even more happily, and the wrinkles on his face increased. ¡°Sisi, what do you think?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes hurriedly raised her head and opened her mouth slightly,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I ...¡± She really wanted to say that she didn¡¯t have such thoughts, but under everyone¡¯s gaze, she really couldn¡¯t say it. Moreover, he had already told Zheng Zeyi from the start that he would not let anyone find out about this before old master Zheng recovered. In the end ... Things seemed to have gone out of control. At the thought of this, Qiao si could not help but look up at Zheng Zeyi. However, she saw that his eyes were deep and she did not know what he was thinking about. Her perfect side profile was captivating. No, he had to ask Zheng Zeyi first. Qiao si gritted her teeth. After she made up her mind, she secretly tugged on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sleeve to get his attention on her. When he felt his sleeve being pulled, Zheng Zeyi lowered his head slightly and saw his future wife looking at him for help. Those watery eyes were pleading for help, but it made his eyes darken instead. After waiting for a long time, there was no response from Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Sisi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Old man Zheng was a little confused and disappointed. He thought that Joes was not willing to be with Zheng Zeyi. Although he didn¡¯t know why she left a year ago, he guessed that his grandson must have done something to cause this. It had to be said that old master Zheng¡¯s thinking was correct. ¡°Wait,¡± Just as Qiao Si was about to speak, Zheng Zeyi suddenly held her hand, and his warmth was transmitted through her palm. It was also at this moment that she was stunned for a moment, and many thoughts surged through her mind. The old men and women present were even more confused. Grandma Wen asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, do you have any ideas?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you say it out loud and let us hear it?¡± Now that her attention was on Zheng Zeyi, the pressure on joesse was greatly reduced and she heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at their tightly sped hands, she pursed her lips and could not help but smile. Why ... Did she have such feelings? Qiao si si thought that she might have some answers now, but Zheng Zeyi was still not very sure. Her hazy heart still needed to ferment. After hearing their questions, Zheng Zeyi smiled. His eyes were bright and clear, and his tone was a little higher.¡±I have to ask sisi and see if she¡¯s willing to do it.¡± With that, he lowered his head and his eyes met Joes ¡®s. The atmosphere changed in an instant. It was extremely ambiguous. As for Joes, she blinked her eyes and her heart beat even faster. Useless, really too useless. Seeing this scene, many olddies couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. They looked away to give the two children some space. To them, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were like two children. The most important thing was age, and then experience. However, this President Zheng¡¯s experience was no less than theirs. ¡°Sisi, are you willing to hold an engagement party with me?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked with a serious look in his eyes. He could not help but exert more force in his hands. Although he did not use too much force aspared to before, Joes could still feel the change in his mood. The engagement party ... Joes lowered her gaze, but her heart was in a mess. How did things turn out like this? She had originally nned to visit the sick old master Zheng, but now, not only had she met Zheng Zeyi, but she had also met so many of old master Zheng¡¯s old friends. Now, the engagement party was out! Joes almost could not maintain the smile on her face. When she lifted her head, she was met with a pair of deep eyes. It was like a Whirlpool, and he was unable to extricate himself from it. It also seemed to contain an entire starry sky. When Zheng Zeyi noticed her gaze, his smile deepened, and the curve of his lips was intoxicating. Suddenly, she felt her heart being moved. Joes¡¯s eyes were hazy, and she nodded her head subconsciously, saying,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi was stunned for a moment. Then, he was overjoyed and could not control the curve of his lips. His little wife had actually agreed! At this moment, there was nothing that could make Zheng Zeyi happier than this. He had thrown everything to the back of his mind. He held Joes¡¯s hands tightly, his eyes sparkling with Starlight. From the reflection in his eyes, he could only see Joes. After she said that, she quickly reacted and remembered what she had just said. I just ... Qiao si si swallowed her saliva and her breathing quickened. She had actually agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s request. That was an engagement party, not a game. With so many of old master Zheng¡¯s old friends present to witness this scene, would it be toote for her to reject him? It was toote. A thought appeared in Joris¡¯s mind as she swept her gaze across the elderly men and women around her. Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Still quite valued

They all had kind smiles on their faces as they watched the interaction between the two of them. Old master Zheng almost couldn¡¯t control himself and stood up from the bed. However, he suddenly remembered that he was still pretending to be sick, so he suppressed the thought. If Jossi had agreed to the engagement party, did that mean that she had epted her grandson? Old man Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up at the thought. He cleared his throat and said,¡±¡±Sisi, it seems like you agree with this.¡± The other old men agreed with him. ¡°This time, I agree with what old Zheng said. Sisi and Zeyi are indeed a good match. They¡¯ll definitely be a great story in the future.¡± ¡°Zeyi has good taste, and so does sisi. Then we old men and olddies will be waiting to attend your wedding.¡± Grandma Wen said with a smile. Without them, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s progress would not have jumped so fast. Now, Joes was in a difficult position. ¡°I ...¡± She forced a smile, but she saw that everyone present was quite happy, especially old master Zheng, who seemed to be in better health. Breathing out a sigh of relief, joesse¡¯s thoughts became more determined and she said,¡±¡±That¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking. As for the date, I¡¯ll have to discuss it with ze Yi. Grandpa and Grandma, you won¡¯t mind this, right? It won¡¯t take long. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she smiled with a hint of sincerity. ...... No matter what, it was enough for Jossi to be able to feel that these elderly were sincere. ¡°That¡¯s great sisi, feel free to discuss with ze Yi, any time is fine!¡± Old master Zheng was overjoyed. Other than him, the other people in the ward were the same. This made Joes feel more at ease and her smile grew wider. Zheng Zeyi did not expect Qiao sisi to say that. He looked at the soft little hand in his hand and felt satisfied. After that, things went even more beyond his imagination. The grandpas and grandmas present were all big shots, and most of them had made a name for themselves in the business world. When they heard that they were going to hold an engagement party, they all rmended their own venue. ¡°Sisi, it¡¯s best to settle the engagement as soon as possible. I have arge venue here in the bustling area of city H. You can hold it here!¡± Grandma Lin¡¯s eyes lit up. After she finished speaking, the other grandmother added,¡±¡±I have some here too. It¡¯s even bigger than hers. Sisi can choose whatever she wants.¡± Faced with the enthusiasm of the olddies, Joes was at a loss. After she calmed down, her emotions eased up a little. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, grandmothers,¡± she said with a smile.¡±Once it¡¯s decided, I¡¯ll definitely look for you guys for the venue.¡± After he said that, the olddies present were a little satisfied. Zheng Zeyi stood at the side. He had a slender figure and an imposing aura that could not be ignored. He protected the little woman in front of him without a sound. For the next hour, joesse and Nangong wuque stayed in the ward to chat with the old men and women. At the same time, it also involved the past that they had talked about decades ago. The jewelry designer¡¯s ... Past. However, joesse did not know much either. She only knew that there were two jewelry designers together previously. Butter, for some unknown reason, they finally separated. At this point, Joes could not help but think of a certain person in her memories, and their figures gradually ovepped. It was none other than the old man from Fog Town, Grandpa Qin. It was a coincidence that he had the same surname as the old master Qin. Thinking of the old master¡¯s reaction just now, it seemed a little strange. However, without any evidence, Joes did not dare to make a conclusion. She could only make a guess in her heart. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me ... That Grandpa Qin really has some sort of rtionship with our old master Qin? But why did he end up in mist town?¡± Many doubts appeared in his mind, but he couldn¡¯t get an answer. Since she couldn¡¯t figure it out, Jossi didn¡¯t think too much about it. She chatted with old master Zheng and the others for a while before leaving around noon. At this time, the sun was already shining brightly outside. It was noon, and the weather had warmed up quite a bit. Joesse¡¯s clothes were thinner, but she did not feel cold. She and Zheng ze left the ward together under the watchful eyes of the elderly. In the ward. The moment Joes left, old master Qin¡¯s expression changed. He red at old master Zheng, who was sitting on the bed. ¡°Elder Zheng, you¡¯re really getting older and older. You actually pretended to be sick to lie to a youngdy. Doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt?¡± Other than old master Qin, his other old friends also criticized him. When he first heard it from old master Zheng, he didn¡¯t think much of it. However, after seeing him in person, he suddenly felt that what he did was a little inhumane. Old master Zheng touched his nose guiltily and exined,¡±¡±Isn¡¯t it because your granddaughter-inw isn¡¯t firm enough? I can only help my grandson. ¡± He paused. Old man Zheng seemed to have thought of something and said with his eyes wide open,¡±¡±Old Qin, you have the nerve to criticize me. You¡¯re also worried about your grandson¡¯s marriage.¡± ¡°I ...¡± Old master Qin choked for a moment. His expression was ugly, and he didn¡¯t know what to say. The two of them had been at loggerheads for a long time. They were already familiar with the other people in the ward and did not care at all. After meeting Jossi, there were many who were satisfied with her. ¡°Elder Zheng, your grandson has good taste. This girl probably grew up from her previous family background to her current state. You¡¯re capable, good-looking, and well-behaved. I feel like snatching your granddaughter-inw away from you. ¡± Grandma Wen chuckled. Old master Zheng¡¯s eyes widened and he immediately said,¡±¡±That¡¯s impossible. She¡¯s my future granddaughter-inw.¡± ¡°Come on,¡± Old master Qin rolled his eyes and said,¡±¡±Xiaowen already has one. She¡¯s just trying to scare you. It seems like you really value this granddaughter-inw.¡± Although some of the old men and women present had grandsons who had yet to find a wife, not all of them were like this. For example, grandma Wen¡¯s grandson already had a fianc¨¦e, and she was very virtuous. Hearing old master Qin¡¯s words, old master Zheng snorted.¡±¡±Nonsense. My grandson isn¡¯t someone that just anyone can like.¡± As soon as he said this, many olddiesughed. The atmosphere in the ward was joyous and harmonious. It was even more lively than when Joes and Zheng ze had first arrived. However, they did not know about this. After leaving the private hospital, joesse and Zheng Zeyi walked to the car park and passed through the hospital¡¯s corridor. The strong smell of disinfectant entered his nose, but it couldn¡¯t dispel the numb feeling in his heart. Chapter 237

Chapter 237: I just agreed

The promise of the engagement was still fresh in her mind, and at that moment, Joes really could not speak first. He felt a little awkward. It was very quiet in the corridor, which made the footsteps sound unusually clear. After a while, Zheng Zeyi nced at the little woman beside him and could not help but smile. His efforts for so long had not been in vain. This time, he had finally relented. ¡°Sisi.¡± The maic and alluring voice entered her ears, and Joes paused in her steps. Her ears turned red as she said in embarrassment,¡±¡±What ... What¡¯s wrong?¡± If one paid close attention, one would be able to hear a trace of panic in her tone. Naturally, Zheng Zeyi noticed this. His smile deepened as he said,¡±¡±What you said in the ward just now, it should be true, right?¡± He was referring to the engagement that they had just talked about. As long as Joes was willing to agree, he would definitely hold a Grand engagement party and evenplete the wedding as soon as possible. It wasn¡¯t easy for his wife to return to his side, so he couldn¡¯t let her go so easily. The old men and women were right. It was better to settle this matter as soon as possible. ...... After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao sisi¡¯s ears turned even redder and she said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t we say that we¡¯ll pretend to be fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦ in front of Grandpa Zheng? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea to hold it. Besides, our rtionship isn¡¯t that close yet. ¡± Joes gritted her teeth and said these words. It was still somewhat uneptable for her to get engaged directly. She knew that she was starting to ept Zheng Zeyi¡¯s existence, but ... She still wanted to wait a little longer. Zheng Zeyi did not get angry. Instead, he revealed a devilish smile that could steal one¡¯s soul. ¡°Then, whenever you want, I¡¯ll follow your wishes.¡± He followed closely behind Joes like a guardian angel. Joesse then sped off like a Luan bird and arrived at the car park outside the hospital in no time. There were a lot of cars parked in the parking lot, but the two people¡¯s cars were more conspicuous and were parked at the entrance, so they could be seen at a nce. Hope appeared in Joes ¡®eyes as she quickly turned her head and said,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, my car is right there. I have something to deal with tonight. Then I¡¯ll go back first. ¡± After saying that, he lifted his feet and prepared to escape. The way he fled in a hurry was even more hrious. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly and said,¡±¡±Wait,¡± Qiao sisi really stopped in her tracks after hearing those two short words. Her face was filled with confusion. Zheng Zeyi would not stop her for no reason, would he? As soon as she turned around, she was met with a handsome face that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. With one look, she knew that it was not serious business. ...It seemed like she was overthinking. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched and she asked,¡±¡±Is there anything else?¡± The two of them were standing at the entrance of the parking lot. The traffic outside was heavy, and the sound of the cars made joesse feel slightly more at ease. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips moved and he spat out a few words,¡±¡±Do you want to have dinner together?¡± Dinner? Joes¡¯s brows furrowed. This meant that he was inviting her to have dinner with him. However, so many things had happened today and she was not in the mood for it. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zheng ze. ¡°We¡¯re not going out, we¡¯re going to eat at home. There¡¯s something extra at home that we might need your help with.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. His voice was maic and his eyes were bright. With his back facing the warm sun, his eyes were even brighter. Even joesse found it pleasing to the eye, and was carefully considering the feasibility of this n. Since they weren¡¯t going to eat out, but at the blue sky Apartment, it wasn¡¯t a bad idea. ¡°Your house?¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded and lowered his eyes.¡±Yes, let¡¯s go to my house.¡± After hesitating for a while, Joes finally agreed. Since she had already invited him, it would not be nice to reject him. Moreover, he felt that if he didn¡¯t go, he would have a guilty conscience. She didn¡¯t know why she had agreed to it in the ward today, but it had caused the current irreversible situation. If she had known earlier, she would have raised her spirits to avoid being bewitched by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s looks. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first. After you go back,e to my ce to find me.¡± Zheng Zeyi found his luxury car with his long legs. All that was left was his slender back. Thest thing she saw was him getting into the Rolls-Royce. It was not without reason that President Zheng was so popr with so many women. He was rich and handsome, and his businesses were all over the world. Facing such a face, even if they quarreled, they probably wouldn¡¯t bear to say anything harsh, let alone anything else. That was why Zheng Zeyi was known as city h¡¯s Diamond King and fifth brother. He was the dream lover of many young girls, and many of them could not have him. The other was the CEO of Hengyuan investment, Chen zuolin. However, he was much colder than Zheng Zeyi. However, they were also well-known diamond Bachelors. The two of them were quite famous in city H. With so many thoughts running through her mind, Joes stared nkly at the Rolls-Royce as it left the parking lot before she came to her senses. ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ve made the right decision ...¡± Joes furrowed her brows and mumbled softly. She then shook her head and threw these thoughts out of her mind. No matter what, since he had already agreed, he should not think too much about it. It was not that she had not noticed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s feelings for her. It was just that after Zeng Qing¡¯s betrayal a year ago, it was not easy to ept him again. Most importantly, he was the cousin of his enemy, yang Yueyue, and his family rtionship was even moreplicated. If Jossi from a year ago had known about this, she would have never imagined that such a huge change would happen in just a year. As for what he would do in the future, he would just take it one step at a time. After making up her mind, Jossi looked straight ahead, started the car, and returned to blue sky Apartment. Zheng ze returned to the apartment first and took out all the ingredients from the refrigerator as a necessity for dinner. The lighting in the apartment had also changed colors. It was all Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handiwork and looked extremely heartwarming. For the time being, Joes did not know any of this. After she returned to her apartment, she took a shower and changed into a knee-length dress with a ck belt around her waist. He looked at himself in the mirror, and the clean mirror reflected a woman¡¯s figure. Dressed in a one-piece dress and a pair of white heels, with light makeup on her face, Qiao SI¡¯s Red lips were slightly pursed. She had an extraordinary aura and was very eye-catching. ¡°Not bad.¡± Revealing a narcissistic smile, Josse raised her eyebrows and went to the kitchen to pour herself a ss of milk. She ate some toast casually as her lunch. Chapter 238

Chapter 238: You can kill her

There was Miley at Xing Yuanpany, and everything that needed to be exined today had already been exined. Nothing would happen if there were no idents. Even if something were to happen, Millie would inform Joes immediately and seek her opinion. Therefore, he could take a break from his busy schedule and rest at home for a day. Joes leaned back on the sofa. The LCD TV in front of her was ying a variety show. It was still the same show from a year ago. As she watched the host and the guests on TV, Joes suddenly thought of something. After thest theft, Lin Xiu ¡®er shouldn¡¯t be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore, and he didn¡¯t know what she was doing now. ¡°Lin Xiu ¡®er ... Yang Yue Yue, the two of them shouldn¡¯t be in Contact Now, right?¡± Joes frowned. She was puzzled in her heart and couldn¡¯t help but pick up her mobile phone to search for it. She directly typed in the three words ¡®Lin Xiu¡¯ er ¡®. The webpage that appeared wasn¡¯t an introduction, but entertainment news. It was about Lin Xiu ¡®er being suspected of nder and being banned by the entertainment circle. ... Banned?!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at the words in disbelief. After she left city h, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to this matter. It was normal for Lin Xiu ¡®er to be hidden by thepany. However, ording to that woman¡¯s methods, if she hooked up with a new sugar daddy or used the Lin family¡¯s power, at least she wouldn¡¯t be expelled. ...... But now, he had actually ended up in such a state. Joes could not believe it, but the evidence was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it. Or could it be ... That there was someone pushing things behind the scenes? Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s enemy, or someone rted to her? After thinking for a long time, Joes still could not be sure, so she suppressed her thoughts. In any case, the current situation was beneficial to her. Lin Xiu ¡®er should have no time to care about her. The only one left ... Was Yang Yue Yue. Speaking of the devil, the devil has arrived. Just as Joes ced her phone on the sofa, it started buzzing and vibrating. Seeing this, she picked up her phone and saw the familiar words ¡°detective Wen¡± on the screen. She more or less understood what was going on. It should be that the recording problem had been solved! Joes¡¯s face revealed a hint of joy as she picked up the phone and asked,¡±¡±Detective Wen, how¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°Thanks to you, miss Qiao, everything went smoothly.¡± Detective Wen smiled. After saying that, he continued,¡±I¡¯ve already gotten the recording, and it¡¯s on the way out of Jiali hotel.¡± If it¡¯s possible, I hope miss Qiao can transfer the rest of the money to my card number tomorrow. I¡¯ve been in urgent need of it recently, I hope miss Qiao doesn¡¯t mind?¡± Joes naturally nodded in agreement.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry. As long as detective Wen sends me the recording and confirms that there¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll be able to receive the rest of the payment tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send it to you now.¡± After the two of them reached a consensus, they didn¡¯t say much. Detective Wen sent the audio over. However, it was encrypted, and a special password had to be entered. Following detective Wen¡¯s instructions, Jossi entered the password and saw a recording that was about ten minutes long. It had probably been edited and all the unimportant parts had been removed. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you, detective Wen. I¡¯ll contact you again if there¡¯s a Commission next time.¡± Joes looked at the recording on the screen and narrowed her eyes. ¡°Thank you for taking care of my business, miss Qiao,¡± detective Wen smiled. After they greeted each other, the two of them didn¡¯t say much and hung up the phone. The first thing Joes did was to turn on the recording and listen to the conversation. At first, it was the sound of electric currents, but after more than ten seconds, the real conversation began. Yang Yueyue, Liu Yun, Qiao Feng, and Zhao Hai ¡®er were all there. Jossi could not be more familiar with their voices. Even if they had disguised their voices, she could still tell. Listening to their vicious words over the phone, Joes could not help but clench her fists. She was no longer in the mood to drink the milk in front of her. ¡°If necessary, we can kill her!¡± Qiao Feng said in the recording. The ¡®her¡¯ that he was referring to was naturally his daughter, Jossi. However, he had never treated her as his daughter. He said this without any hesitation. Qiao sisi did not have high hopes for Qiao Feng¡¯s family to begin with. After hearing these recordings, she was also expressionless. However, her heart grew even colder. These people were really ruthless. They were actually talking about killing her if she didn¡¯t hand over the apartment and money. Joes gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness. Fortunately, all the evidence had been collected, and this recording was decisive evidence. As long as Qiao Feng and the others made the first move, she could take the initiative and finish them all off! Joes put her phone away, a faint chill emanating from her body. She picked up the milk and took a sip. Even the warm milk could not douse the chill in her heart. And this recording could be traced back to this morning. Detective Wen had been hiding in Jiali hotel for the past few days. Fortunately, he was very capable and had a friend in the hotel, so he had not been discovered. The tapping device in Yang Yue Yue¡¯s room had been changed a few times, but she still could not hear anything useful. This was because she rarely came to the hotel, unless she had something to discuss with Liu Yun or for some other reason. It was only today that Liu Yun and the others went to look for Yang Yue Yue. In Jiali hotel, detective Wen, who was disguised as a cleaner, finally smiled when he saw Liu Yun and her family enter the elevator. He pulled down his hat and pushed the cleaning cart away, but he was thinking about what had happened upstairs. The elevator was spacious. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at herself in the mirror and said,¡±¡±Mom, we¡¯re about to get all the money. Why don¡¯t you go to find that womanter?¡± The woman she was talking about was Yang Yue Yue, who was upstairs. Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er had also told Qiao Feng and his son about the 50000 Yuan that Qiao sisi had given them. Although they felt that this sum of money was not much, no matter how small a mosquito¡¯s leg was, it was still meat. They were not willing to give it up. On the fourth day, Qiao sisi¡¯s 40000 Yuan had also been transferred to their ount. However, Liu Yun and Qiao Feng chose this day to look for Yang Yue Yue. After hearing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s words, Liu Yun opened her mouth and said,¡±¡±We¡¯re prepared to Sue that B * tch, Jossi, in court. Of course, we¡¯ll let that woman collect some evidence. If we were to do it ourselves, it would be a waste of energy. If we look for her a day in advance, wouldn¡¯t it be so that we can look for Jossi as soon as we get the money tomorrow?¡± At the end of her sentence, Liu Yunughed coldly as a greedy glint appeared in her eyes. It was as if she could already see joesse¡¯s defeat. Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239-he deserved it

Liu Yun¡¯s thoughts were that if they were to join forces with Yang Yue Yue, they would definitely be able to drag joesse down from her current position. If he seeded, not only would he get the money, but the blue sky Apartment would also be in his pocket. As for thepany he sawst time ... Liu Yun licked her lips. It would be even better if she could get thatpany. ¡°Your mother¡¯s right. We don¡¯t know who¡¯s behind Jossi. Since we¡¯re going to do it, we¡¯ll definitely catch them all in one fell swoop!¡± Qiao Feng also said without mercy. The entire family was discussing how to set up Jossi and the atmosphere was high. The elevator was also slowly rising. As long as they reached the top floor and entered Yang Yue Yue¡¯s luxury suite, they would be able to tell him about this. Qiao Lei was curled up in the corner of the elevator, looking at his family members who were discussing enthusiastically in front of him. His usual unruly expression had be a lot more depressed. Soon, Liu Yun noticed his unusual behavior. ¡°Lei, what¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling ufortable?¡± She had a concerned expression on her face. This was the only bloodline of the Qiao family, the key to carrying on the family line in the future. Naturally, nothing could happen to her. Both Liu Yun and Qiao Feng were extremely concerned. Zhao Hai ¡®er stood at the side, frowning as she looked at Qiao Feng and Liu Yun¡¯s concern for her. She then looked away. ...... Qiao Lei was silent for a long time before he finally said,¡±¡±Mom, I made a bet outside that I owe 300000 Yuan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, Lei ... Wait! What did you just say?¡± Liu Yun didn¡¯t hear him clearly at first, but it took her some time to react. When he heard the amount his son said, he was so shocked that he couldn¡¯t say anything for a long time. He trembled and said,¡±¡±Lei, how much did you say you owe?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face was full of surprise and confusion. He opened his mouth but didn¡¯t know what to say. Qiao Lei gritted his teeth and said,¡±three hundred thousand!¡± When I went out to gamble yesterday, I identally lost too much. ¡± At this moment, all hope was shattered. Liu Yun¡¯s face was filled with despair as she said,¡±Lei, you ... You should stop your losses in time! How can we afford to pay three hundred thousand!¡± ¡°You unfilial son! You actually gambled to this extent!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes were red with anger and he almost couldn¡¯t breathe. Seeing this, Qiao Lei quickly took a few steps back, his back against the mirror of the elevator, and said in horror,¡±¡±Dad, it¡¯s only three hundred thousand. If we manage to get Jossi, we¡¯ll definitely get more than three hundred thousand. Dad, mom, they¡¯ve said that if I can¡¯t pay them in a month, they¡¯ll cut off my hands and feet. You can¡¯t just leave me in the lurch!¡± At the end of his sentence, Qiao Lei¡¯s face was bitter and he looked like he was about to cry. It was obvious that he had been threatened ruthlessly. Qiao Feng was furious, but when he heard this, he gradually calmed down. However, his fingers were still trembling. Liu Yun was the same, as though she was facing a great enemy. 300,000 was an astronomical figure to them. After all, they were just ordinary people living in a small town. But now ... He had to face such a debt. Taking a deep breath, Liu Yun¡¯s expression turned vicious.¡±Since that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no other way. I have to get the money from Joes this time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the only way. You unfilial son, if you gamble again in the future, I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± Qiao Feng said angrily. Although he went out to gamble, he only gambled a small amount of money, unlike Qiao Lei, who was getting more and more presumptuous. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression was ugly. She secretly red at Qiao Lei. The 300000 Yuan that was not in her hands had flown away just like that. If she stayed in this house, would there still be any hope for her dowry? The people in the elevator had ulterior motives. After the elevator reached the top floor, they walked towards the luxury suite where Yang Yue Yue was. Yang Yue Yue was sitting on the sofa, not knowing that a bug had been installed under the table. Soon, Liu Yun¡¯s family entered and saw Yang Yue Yue sitting on the stage, eating high-ss desserts. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± She raised her head slightly, her eyes full of disdain. In the face of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s disdain, Liu Yun bent down and said respectfully,¡±¡±Miss yang, it¡¯s like this. We¡¯ve finished writing the article and are ready to publish it on the inte. But I¡¯ll still need miss yang to take care of the promotion. ¡± After she finished speaking, she revealed an embarrassed smile. Although Qiao Feng felt embarrassed, he still lowered his head and said,¡±¡±Miss yang, you¡¯re the only one who can really deal with that B * tch, Joes.¡± Qiao Lei and Zhao Hai ¡®er quickly chimed in, and their praises were endless. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s mood was obviously much better after hearing these ttering words. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of the online stuff. It¡¯s just that thest time I asked you guys to post something, you guys didn¡¯t do anything. ¡± Yang Yue Yue raised her eyebrows and sneered. Seeing this, Liu Yun panicked and quickly exined,¡±¡±Miss yang, my daughter and I have been looking for Jossi these few days. We want to find other evidence to publish. I didn¡¯t expect that little slut to bepletely impervious to anything and even make bogus usations, so we came to ask for your help. ¡± Liu Yun used a respectful address. They could only tter Yang Yue Yue now. ¡°Trash!¡± Yang Yue Yue said sarcastically. Even so, no one in Liu Yun¡¯s family dared to say a word. They were no different from cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Yang Yue Yue couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with them and said,¡±¡±Leave the court to me, just do as I say and quickly defame joesse on the inte! Also ... That¡¯s your daughter. If I find out that you¡¯re covering up for her, none of you will have an easy time!¡± His sharp tone made Liu Yun and Qiao Feng shiver, and they nodded in agreement. In order to prove his choice, Qiao Feng even said,¡±¡±Miss yang doesn¡¯t need to worry at all. If necessary ... You can kill her!¡± When he said this, Qiao Feng¡¯s expression was so cold that it didn¡¯t seem like he was talking about his own daughter. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! We won¡¯t say a single word! That little B * tch deserves it!¡± Liu Yun chimed in. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. Let¡¯s do it then. ¡± Yang Yue Yue put down the silver spoon in her hand with satisfaction, and a mocking smile appeared on her face. ¡­¡­¡­ The recording ended here. Yang Yueyue¡¯s final tone was very smug, probably because she was determined to win. Even though joesse did not witness all of this personally, she could roughly imagine what had happened through the voice recording. ¡°Yang Yue Yue, Liu Yun, Qiao Feng ...¡± Joes muttered these names silently, her eyes reflecting a ray of light, revealing her sharpness. After that, her expression eased and she put her phone back into her pocket as if nothing had happened. Chapter 240

Chapter 240: It depends on the taste

Since Yang Yue Yue and the rest wanted to y, she would y along. Joes was leaning back on the sofa, her expression calm. She casually nced at the variety show in front of her and finished her milk. Liu Yun and the others were not in a hurry. Although she wanted to take the initiative, she had to wait for them to make a move first. Once the court was involved, the nature of the matter would bepletely different. He sat in the living room for a long time, watching TV while thinking. Time flew by unexpectedly. Jossi raised her head and nced at the clock hanging on the wall. The hour hand had already reached the six position. Now ... It was time to look for Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Zheng Zeyi should have prepared dinner by now. He can¡¯t possibly be waiting for me to make it for him.¡± Joes mumbled softly, then revealed a smile. However, an ominous premonition welled up in her heart. It better be different from what she thought. After tidying up her clothes, Qiao si pretended to be calm as she left the room and went to Zheng ze¡¯s apartment. The door was tightly shut, but the fragrance of food wafted out from inside, tempting even the gluttons to run out. ¡°It smells so good.¡± Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes lit up. It seemed like Zheng Zeyi had already prepared the meal. She had already prepared for the worst, but she did not expect to receive such a surprise. ...... With a smile on her face, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.¡±¡±Knock, knock.¡± A series of steady and powerful footsteps came from the inside of the door. Finally, they stopped in front of the door and opened it with a click. Qiao si raised her head, and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face and his bright ck eyes entered her sight. But at this moment, this wasn¡¯t what attracted the most attention. It was ... Joes blinked her eyes and her gaze gradually fell below. As expected, she saw a ck apron. Zheng Zeyi was wearing a clean white shirt inside, and even his ck apron was extremely clean. Even though he was wearing an apron, it couldn¡¯t stop his threatening temperament. Looking at such abination, joesse could not help butugh, a warm feeling growing in her heart. When Zheng Zeyi saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise. The reason for this was that Joes ¡®dress was simply too eye-catching this time, and it instantly stole his attention. He muttered in his heart,¡±she¡¯s pretty.¡± His gaze fell on his future wife¡¯s delicate face. ¡°I¡¯m here to eat. ¡± Joes smiled, her smile iparably radiant. She peeked into the apartment and waspletely stunned. It was not that Qiao si had not stayed in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment before, but it was not like this. The decorations were simple and Grand, and even the lights were in a cold tone, giving off a cold feeling on a daily basis. But now, it had changed. The light was soft and a faint yellow. At a nce, one could see that the table cloth in the living room had been changed into a cute appearance. There was a Little Bear pattern on it. It was cute and fresh, but it didn¡¯t make people feel out of ce, because the overallyout had changed. ¡°This is ...¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes widened. She had bought it a long time ago to change it, but Zheng ze thought it was too childish and rejected her firmly, so he put it in the cupboard and covered it with dust. However, Zheng Zeyi had actually taken it out today! Zheng Zeyi noticed her gaze and a smile appeared on his face.¡±¡±How is it? It¡¯s alright, I guess. ¡± He was like a child waiting for praise. Zheng Zeyi, who was usually high and mighty, had never acted like this before, and this made joesse¡¯s heart soften even more. She nodded heavily and gave him a thumbs up.¡±Very good, especially the tablecloth. It¡¯s just right.¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and his smile deepened. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take it as apliment.¡± After saying that, he did not dy any further. Instead, he pulled Joes in from the outside and closed the apartment door. Joes did not reject him and walked in. She couldn¡¯t see it clearly from the outside, but after she walked in, she could feel that the apartment had indeed changed a lot. The decorations had not changed, but there were a lot of new stickers. She had ced them in the cab in the living room, and Zheng ze had taken them all out. Standing in the living room, Joes could see that the kitchen table was filled with all kinds of exquisitely arranged dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good. Even the dessert was ced on the table, along with some carefully arranged fruit tters. Just this one look made Jossi¡¯s hunger intensify, and she wanted to sit down and eat. The LCD TV in the living room was still ying a Food Show, which suited the current scene. ¡°Zheng Zeyi is much better than I thought. He can do so many things.¡± Joes looked at the delicious food in the kitchen and asked in surprise. She had originally thought that Zheng Zeyi was a CEO who did not do anything, but today, she had subverted her usual thoughts. Hearing that, Zheng Zeyi raised his beautiful brows. His eyes were charming, but he did not say anything. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t feel guilty, and he wouldn¡¯t admit that he didn¡¯t cook these dishes. It had to be said that the delivery business under his name was still very necessary. At least, it allowed him to find some good restaurants and shops. He had ordered these. Joes did not think of this at all. After sitting on the kitchen chair, she raised her head and asked in anticipation,¡±¡±Can we eat now?¡± She had just had some toast, bread, and milk for lunch, and she was indeed a little hungry now. Zheng zeughed when he heard her.¡±Of course you can. Eat it and see how it tastes.¡± After saying that, he sat down opposite her and picked up a pair of silver chopsticks. Looking at this item, the corner of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. However, she quickly felt relieved. After all, it was normal for this person to use these items. For example, she only had wooden chopsticks at home. ¡°Then I¡¯ll try it.¡± Joes smiled and picked up the te of Italy closest to her. The sauce was spread on the top, and the color was extremely well-colored, just right. It was especially appetizing. After saying that, Joes picked up her chopsticks and picked up some noodles, cing them on the clean little te in front of her. After taking a bite, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but curve up. There was no other reason other than it was too delicious! Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she praised,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯re really good at hiding your skills. You can actually make such delicious Italy.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a small matter,¡± Zheng Zeyi replied humbly. They were both lying, but there was no difference in their expressions. It was obvious that they had inherited old master Zheng¡¯s genes. The two of them were indeed grandfather and grandson. They were realistic in all aspects, but their personalities were different. After giving herpliments, Joes tried the other dishes. The taste was beyond her imagination, as if they were the best of the best. Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Is there something wrong?

For the next ten minutes or so, the two of them barely spoke as they quietly finished the food on the table. Joes looked at the few empty tes in front of her and could not help but smile in satisfaction. After that, she pushed a piece of dessert in front of her and took a silver spoon to take a sip. It tasted sweet. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I would like to ask ... Did you really make all these?¡± The smile on Joes¡¯s lips was slightly cunning. If there were only some staple foods, she might be able to find something simr, but there were too many things on the table. Moreover, these desserts could not be made in a short time, not to mention that there was no baking equipment in the kitchen. After all, Joes had lived here for a period of time. Naturally, she knew about these small details, which was why she asked this question. However, she already had an answer in her heart. After hearing this, Zheng Zeyi replied with a ¡°hmm¡± without any guilt. He picked up the silk handkerchief on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth, his actions exuding an elegant aura. Upon seeing this, Joes could not hide the smile on her face. However, since this President Zheng had no intention of admitting it and even treated her to such a big meal, there were some things that she shouldn¡¯t say. With this in mind, she finished the entire dessert. Her stomach was a little full, and she looked at the rest of the food helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t eat if you can ¡®t. ¡± ...... Zheng ze frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw that Qiao si looked like she had reached her limit. He stood up and went to her side. The distance between the two of them was instantly pulled apart. The warm yellow light shone on their bodies, and it was as beautiful as a frozen picture. Zheng Zeyi bent down slightly and his handsome face was directly facing joesse¡¯s cheek. That pair of eyes were so alluring that she did not dare to look straight at them. She quickly lowered her head, but the distance between the two was a little close, and it was almost impossible to avoid them. As his warm breath brushed against her ears, Joes¡¯s heart started to beat faster, and many thoughts started to form in her mind. The position was maintained for a while, and the atmosphere became more and more ambiguous. Joes¡¯s ears turned red and she could not help but say,¡±¡±You ...¡± What do you want to do? However, before she could finish her sentence, Zheng Zeyi interrupted her,¡±¡±Don¡¯t move,¡± His voice was low and hoarse, and it contained a hidden fire, but it was deeply suppressed. Hearing that, Qiao si did not dare to move. She allowed Zheng Zeyi to pick up a clean white scarf from the side. These were all prepared long ago, but she had yet to use them. Zheng Zeyi took the scarf and nced at the scum at the corner of a certain someone¡¯s mouth. The corners of his mouth curled up into a deep smile, and he was in a very good mood. Under Joes¡¯s gaze, he gently raised his hand and wiped the corner of her mouth. His actions were very gentle, as if he was treating a fragile porcin doll. The gentle touch on her lips stunned Joes, and she swallowed all her doubts. At this point, what else did she not understand? She probably did not pay attention when she was eating the dessert, so the residue was left at the corner of her mouth, and Zheng Zeyi saw it. At the thought of this, Joes wanted to find a hole to hide in. She really could not understand why Zheng ze had seen her embarrassing side. And ... Why was the handsome face in front of her getting closer and closer?! Qiao SI¡¯s breathing was rapid as she looked at Zheng ze¡¯s face that had been magnified several times. She ced her hand on her leg and did not move. ¡°Ha ...¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. His deep and hoarse smile seemed to rub into one¡¯s heart, making it impossible for one to hate him. The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and there were only a few centimeters left. At this distance, Qiao si could clearly see the reflection in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bright eyes. It was him. She saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s serious gaze and saw herself in it. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened, and he ced his other hand on the back of joesse¡¯s head, forcing her toe closer to him. They only needed to move forward a little more and their lips would touch. Joes¡¯s heart was in a state of panic, and even her eyes were the same. It could be seen at a nce. The air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and the lights were even better. Just as the two of them were about to kiss ... ¡°Buzz.¡± Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the kitchen. Qiao Si was shocked. When she regained her senses, she quickly pushed Zheng Zeyi away and wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth. ¡°I ... I have a phone here. Let me see who¡¯s calling!¡± Joesse said hurriedly. She picked up the phone beside her and saw Chen zuolin¡¯s name on the screen. President Chen? She widened her eyes in disbelief. She didn¡¯t expect him to be the one calling at this time. Zheng Zeyi also saw the name on the phone screen. Fortunately, the note was a simple name and not a special nickname. Otherwise, a certain someone would probably be in trouble. Zheng Zeyi sat on a chair at the side. His expression was still extremely ugly. He rubbed his fingers against his lips and looked at Qiao si, who was holding her phone. That damned Chen zuolin! If it wasn¡¯t for him, he would¡¯ve already seeded, but now it turned out like this! Joesse had no idea what Zheng Zeyi was thinking. After a moment of shock, she calmed down and picked up the phone. ¡°President Qiao.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°President Chen,¡± Joesughed and replied,¡±is there something you need from me sote at night?¡± Speaking of which, the two of them had not contacted each other for many days. Joes would usually only look for him when it came to business. However, they were now considered friends and would not miss out on the asional gathering. That was why Chen zuolin¡¯s phone call had surprised her. She was worried that something had happened. Chen zuolin was silent for two seconds. He was a little depressed, but his tone was still indifferent. ¡°Can¡¯t I find you if I don¡¯t have anything to do?¡± ¡°Uh ... Sure.¡± After hearing that, Joes was stunned for a moment. After she replied, the phone fell into a short silence. Zheng Zeyi, who was standing at the side, frowned. After hearing Chen zuolin¡¯s voice, he could not help but snort coldly. His voice attracted Joes¡¯s attention, but Chen zuolin did not hear it because he was quite far away from the phone. After a long time, Chen zuolin continued,¡±¡±President Qiao, can I ... Call you sisi?¡± He always felt that calling Qiao Nan ¡®President¡¯ was a little too distant. It would be much better if he called her sisi. Chen zuolin was very clear about his feelings for Qiao si, and he was trying his best to fight for her. It was just that he couldn¡¯t find a way to solve it, so this time, he wanted to solve the problem from the source, which was the change in the way he addressed her. Chapter 242

Chapter 242: You are my fianc¨¦e

After hearing Chen zuolin¡¯s words, Joes was slightly surprised. However, this was not a big deal, so she agreed quickly. ¡°What are you saying, President Chen? we¡¯re friends in private, so of course you can.¡± She said with a smile. Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. His gaze was fixed on Joes, and his eyes were filled with anger. It was as if he wanted to look through the screen and use his gaze to scare Chen zuolin, who was on the other side of the phone. The surrounding air pressure suddenly dropped, but Joes was focused on her phone and did not notice it. After getting the answer, Chen zuolin chuckled. Hisughter was extremely low and very alluring. Joes was infected by his smile. She suddenly recalled something and said,¡±¡±By the way, is there anything I can help you with?¡± It was gettingte, so Chen zuolin shouldn¡¯t be looking for her just to address her. Unfortunately, she had guessed wrong this time. The other party had specially called because of this matter. Little did he know that Zheng Zeyi was watching this scene coldly from the side, and the anger in his heart was also rising. Joes did not turn on the speaker, but he was sitting not too far away. If one listened carefully, they could still hear some of the voices. For example, now. ¡°Sisi, are you free during this time? I want to treat you to a meal as a way of thanking you for running Star essence for so long.¡± Chen zuolin suddenly said. ...... It was clearly an invitation, but he said it as if it was business. He could be said to be a man of Steel. Joes was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and said,¡±¡±President Chen, please don¡¯t say that. It¡¯s my duty to manage star dors. There¡¯s no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you. How about I buy you a meal some time?¡± Chen zuolin was a little startled, but these words were just what he wanted. No matter who was treating, the ultimate goal was the same. That was, he wanted to see Jossi. Hence, he smiled faintly and said,¡±¡±Of course you can. Contact me when the timees. I¡¯m not very busy these days, so I¡¯m always free. You can contact me whenever you have time. ¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry.¡± Joes vowed. After making an appointment, the two of them didn¡¯t say much. They casually talked aboutpany matters, greeted each other, and then hung up the phone. Chen zuolin put down the phone and leaned back in his chair, feeling more rxed. If not for thepany¡¯s matters, he would not have waited until now to contact Jossi. On the other hand, Joes had just put down her phone. She had just hung up the phone when she met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slightly angry gaze. She instantly felt the pressure on her lower. She seemed to have ... Done something? Joes felt a little guilty when she saw his gaze. She smiled and asked,¡±¡±W-what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zheng Zeyiughed coldly when he heard that. He nced at joesse indifferently.¡±Our President Qiao¡¯s life is really rich. He¡¯s having a meal today and having a meal with another man tomorrow. If I didn¡¯t hear the phone call today, I¡¯m afraid I would still be in the dark. ¡± When he finished speaking, his tone was a little sharp. It was clear that he was really angry. Joesse secretly nced at Zheng ze and then looked away. She felt a little regretful, but she still kept her mouth shut. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯re exaggerating. President Chen and I are just ordinary colleagues and friends. Besides, it¡¯s just a meal. Why are you so excited? it¡¯s not like it¡¯s going to cost you money. ¡± Joesse pursed her lips. His words were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, without a trace of sloppiness. As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao si shifted her gaze and did not see the sh of anger in Zheng ze¡¯s eyes. After hearing this, his smile became even more mocking.¡±¡±You¡¯re right, President Qiao. Since I¡¯ve finished my meal, it¡¯s time for you to leave. ¡± Joes subconsciously looked at the sky outside the window. It was indeed gettingte. They had already spent two hours here. However, Zheng Zeyi must have put in a lot of effort for this table of delicious food ... At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s heart softened again. Her slightly furrowed brows rxed and she said softly,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, it¡¯s different from what you think.¡± She raised her head and looked at the slightly angry Zheng Zeyi. The two of them had a silent conversation. In the next moment, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s beautiful brows raised as he leaned back in his chair and said calmly,¡±¡±What am I imagining?¡± F * ck! Joes was so angry that she almostughed. ¡®Don¡¯t you know what you¡¯re thinking? The air was filled with a thick smell of jealousy. If she had not sensed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s affection for her, she would not have stayed and would have left immediately. Sighing, she resigned herself to her fate and said,¡±¡±Just pretend I didn¡¯t say anything. Is our rtionship as colleagues okay?¡± Removing the friendship just now, only colleagues were left. After saying that, joesse added,¡±¡±I¡¯m not saying this for you. I really don¡¯t have any other feelings for President Chen.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have any other feelings for him, but that doesn¡¯t mean he doesn¡¯t have other feelings for you.¡± Zheng Zeyi saw through the truth at a nce. After all, he had been in the business world for so many years, and Chen zuolin was one of the most powerfulpetitors. He could still see this. However, he didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to be a rival not only in business but also in love. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes glowed dangerously. If that fellow did anything, he would not let him off! ¡°I ...¡± Joes choked for a moment and only replied after a long time,¡±¡±Anyway, I¡¯ve already told you, so you can think whatever you want.¡± After she finished speaking, she fell silent. Zheng ze¡¯s expression turned ugly. The air pressure around him was extremely low, and even joesse could feel the chill. This man ... Was too jealous. Joesse¡¯s eyes flickered as she looked at Zheng Zeyi. She thought about it and decided to say something. After all, the atmosphere was too awkward. If they just left like this, President Zheng might go berserk. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I really don¡¯t have any other feelings for President Chen. It¡¯s impossible for us to be together, so this meal is just a gathering for ordinary friends. As for you, I¡¯m having a meal with him. Why are you so excited?¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes revealed a smile. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression eased a little. He had finally heard what he wanted to hear. ¡°Because ...¡± ¡°You¡¯re my fianc¨¦e,¡± he said, curling his lips.¡±It¡¯s normal for me to be possessive.¡± Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 243

The dim yellow light fell on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, making his smile even more charming, and his maic voice. Buzzzzzz! At that moment, that was the only thought that Joris had in her heart. She couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva and said embarrassedly,¡±¡±The matter hasn¡¯t been settled yet, so don¡¯t be so decisive. I think it¡¯s gettingte, so I should go back. Let¡¯s meet again next time!¡± After saying that, Joes stood up immediately, looking as if she was running away. In the next moment, a pair of hands pulled her into an embrace, his actions extremely gentle. Before Qiao si could react, she met Zheng ze¡¯s Obsidian-like eyes and opened her mouth slightly. Her red lips were glossy and moist, causing the person in front of her to chuckle. ¡°Ha ...¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows slightly, and without any hesitation, he pressed his lips against hers. It was soft to the touch, and before the other party could react, he went straight in and broke through the other party¡¯s defense. In such a short time, the changes were earth-shaking. ...... ¡°Oh ...¡± Joes could not react at all. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at the handsome face in front of her, her heart filled with shock. The feeling on her lips took all her attention away. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out to push Zheng Zeyi away, but her actions were like scratching an itch. He couldn¡¯t use any strength at the moment and was forced to bear someone¡¯s attack. After a long while, Zheng Zeyi finally let her go. There was a smile in his eyes, and it was clear that he was very satisfied with the kiss. However, only he was satisfied. After Joes regained her freedom, the first thing she did was to gasp for air, her face turning red from holding her breath. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what ... What are you doing?¡± Zheng Zeyi was not bothered by the little woman¡¯s angry face. His eyes were bright.¡±Do you want to try again?¡± Try again? Upon hearing this, joesse was so angry that she almostughed. However, that kiss just now really made her feel weak. The flirtatious atmosphere in the air could not be ignored. She pursed her lips and decided to escape from this ce first. She had a feeling that if she continued to stay here, things might go out of her control. ¡°I won¡¯t pursue this matter with you, but our rtionship isn¡¯t confirmed yet. You¡¯re not allowed to touch me, okay?¡± Joes hesitated for a moment before speaking. There was still a hint of negotiation in her tone. Before they confirmed their rtionship, she didn¡¯t want to be so ambiguous. Unless they got together one day, she wouldn¡¯t mind. Zheng Zeyi was slightly surprised. He pondered for a moment and made a decision. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. It was a short word, but Joes revealed a smile. Zheng Zeyi probably would not lie to her. She did not want to be in a rtionship before thepany¡¯s matters and Qiao Feng¡¯s family¡¯s matters were settled. After Zheng Zeyi agreed, Qiao si did not n to stay any longer. She stood up and was about to leave as she said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go back first. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time, how about it?¡± ¡°Then, you¡¯re not going to treat that President Chen?¡± Zheng Zeyi was still a little indignant. After all, Jossi was his fianc¨¦e in name. It was still eptable for her to treat him to a meal, but she could not ept being alone with another man. Upon hearing this, joesse felt a little helpless.¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, let¡¯s not talk about this. I really have to go now. See you next time!¡± After saying that, she turned around and left Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment as if she was escaping. She ran back to her own home without even looking back. Looking at her back, Zheng Zeyi sighed slightly and did not say anything. He watched her return to the apartment before closing the door. As for the treat that Joes had mentioned, he would definitely think of a way to bring it forward. And Chen zuolin¡¯s side. Zheng Zeyi chuckled, but his eyes were filled with danger. It was not up to others to fight for his fianc¨¦e. On the other side. After Jossi ran back to the apartment, she leaned against the door and panted. She only regained her senses after resting for a long time. She turned around curiously and saw through the peephole on the door that the door opposite had been closed. She heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Zheng Zeyi is getting more and more difficult to deal with.¡± Joes mumbled the name ¡®Joe¡¯ softly, but no one knew what ability she was referring to. She shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be nonchnt. She put the matter to the back of her mind for the time being and walked towards her room. The stars twinkled in the night sky, and it was quiet and peaceful. A cold breeze blew in through the window gap, and everything was beautiful. After returning to the apartment, joesse read her script for a while before returning to her room to sleep. Tomorrow would be the fifth day, which was the time to transfer thest ten thousand Yuan. He wondered what Liu Yun and the others would do after they received the money. He probably wouldn¡¯t let it go so easily. At the thought of this, a sneer appeared on Joes¡¯s face. Since that was the case, she had to get enough rest to deal with the battle tomorrow. It didn¡¯t take long for the person on the bed to fall asleep. However, there were still many people who were awake that night. For example, Zheng Zeyi, who was in the opposite apartment, and Chen zuolin, who was on the other side of city H. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. Joes had woken up very early. The weather seemed to be even colder today, and she could see the White mist in the air with a single breath. Spring had not yetpletely arrived, so it was normal for the weather to fluctuate between hot and cold. She had changed into a thick beige sweater, put on a fluffy coat, and ck pencil Pants. It could be said to be airtight. After that, joesse casually ate two buns and soy milk by the roadside and got into the car to rush to star essence Corporation. There was going to be a big show today, so of course, he had to rush to thepany early and counter-attack. It was already eighto¡¯ clock in the morning when she arrived at Xing Yuan designpany. The employees were also entering thepany one after another. When they saw their CEO, the employees all greeted him,¡±¡±Good Morning, President.¡± ¡°Morning.¡± Joes smiled faintly and walked into the president¡¯s private elevator under everyone¡¯s gaze, heading up to the third floor. The building only provided three floors for Xing Yuan¡¯s use, and now thepany was developing in a good direction and was on the right track. The Human Resources Department was also doing very well. There were already a lot of new blood injected into thepany, and it was thriving. Therefore, Joes had already thought of buying the entire building. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi had already invested in it, so he did notck funds for the time being. Theirpany¡¯s venue was very important. Thepany was getting bigger and bigger, and even the three floors couldn¡¯t amodate it. Joes¡¯s fingers rubbed her chin as she pondered. She decided that she would mention this to Chen zuolin and Zheng ze when she had the time. If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would probably agree. After all, it was for the good of thepany. As long as thepany was better, the money they invested would not go to waste. Chapter 244

Chapter 244: I¡¯m not worthy of being a father

The employees in the elevator had no idea that the CEO was nning to take over the entire building. Otherwise, if he knew about it, he would be even more hopeful about thepany¡¯s future. It was apany that was moving up step by step. ¡°Hey, did you guys hear? that President Zheng who came to ourpanyst time, the famous diamond Bachelor in city h, seems to have taken a fancy to our President.¡± In the elevator, a gossipy female employee said. Even her slightly raised eyebrows showed her excitement. As soon as he said that, the elevator went into an uproar. ¡°Of course I¡¯ve heard of it. I also know that the president and President Zheng are engaged!¡± A female colleague quickly said. These words caused aplete uproar. ¡°Really?!¡± ¡°How is that possible? I¡¯ve never heard of such a thing.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. President Zheng is so famous in city H. How could the outside world not know about this?¡± In the face of many colleagues ¡®doubts, the female colleague was a little unconvinced and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m telling the truth, don¡¯t doubt me. I have a friend who works at Jin Yupany. A year ago, our CEO was a new designer at Jin Yupany. ¡± She paused and continued,¡±¡±And at that time, she was already engaged to President Zheng. Everyone in Shiyupany knows about this. I didn¡¯t expect our President to improve so quickly. He opened apany in just a year.¡± ...... The female colleague¡¯s expression was a little envious, but she didn¡¯t make any bad remarks. In Xingyuan design, she saw the future of jewelry designers. Perhaps it was not as good as Shiyupany now, but it would grow into a giant one day. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. Now that you mention it, I think I¡¯ve heard it before too.¡± The others chimed in. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect the president and President Zheng to have a rtionship. No wonder Xing Yuan design can develop to this stage.¡± A certain female colleague eximed. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a unanimous rebuttal from the female colleagues present. ¡°I don¡¯t like what you¡¯re saying. The president got to where he is with his own strength, not with a man like you think. She¡¯s already a top designer with her own design skills. Even when she was at Shiyu, I learned from her. ¡± It was Lin ya. She didn¡¯t want to refute the first part of his words, but she couldn¡¯t help it. These unfamiliar strangers had no idea how hard Joes studied during the year she was overseas. Lin ya didn¡¯t want to express her pity. Even without the investment from Hengyuan and the Zheng Corporation, Xing Yuan would still develop into a toppany in the industry. This wasn¡¯t a fact that could be denied with just one or two sentences. ¡°You ...¡± The female colleague opened her mouth, but when she saw that it was Lin ya who spoke, she immediately lost all thoughts of retorting. She swallowed and retreated to a corner of the elevator, trying to lower her presence and handing the right to speak to others. Lin ya had a high status in Xing Yuan design. Many of the other female employees in the elevator were brought out by her, and some were still bringing them out. Naturally, no one retorted. Moreover, they basically trusted Joes. ¡°Sister Lin ya is right. The president doesn¡¯t rely on men. When Xing Yuanunches their exclusive jewelry, that will be the day of true poprity.¡± A colleague with a clear and beautiful appearance said. As soon as he finished speaking, he received everyone¡¯s approval. ¡°I think so too,¡± ¡°The people we¡¯re developing in Xing Yuan now might even be thepany¡¯s founding members in the future.¡± ¡°Haha, that makes sense.¡± The area inside the elevator was very spacious, and the crowd¡¯sments made the ce a little more lively. When the elevator reached their floor, it stopped for a while before they stopped talking and returned to their posts. They did not chat anymore. This was the general trend of Xing Yuan. Perhaps his strength was stillcking now, but in some ces, Xing Yuan had really followed the rules and everyone was of one mind. ¡­¡­¡­ On the third floor. Joes had just arrived on the third floor and saw Miley from the CEO Secretariat after turning a corner. She smiled and greeted,¡±¡±Miley, you¡¯re so early today?¡± ¡°Good Morning, President. I woke up a little early today.¡± Millie said with a sweet smile. After greeting him, she didn¡¯t say much. Instead, she went straight into the president¡¯s office and turned on theputer in front of her. The software in theputer was very simple. Other than a few essential software for drawing drafts, there was almost nothing else. It was also because Joes did not use it often. Her expression turned slightly serious. She opened the webpage and started to search. The keyword was ¡°CEO of Xing Yuan design.¡± A few searches popped up, all of which were positive news, such as the auctionst time, all of which were the work of the publicity department. He scrolled down to a few dozen articles, but they didn¡¯t match the title. He was still too unknown. Looking at the search results on the web page, Jossi frowned slightly. However, it was much better than she had expected. If Liu Yun¡¯s scandal were to spread, it would instantly sweep the entire inte and cause everyone¡¯s first impression of Xing Yuan to be bad. This was not what Joes wanted. She had to turn the situation around. For example, striking first, but this required an opportunity. ¡°Pa da, pa da ...¡± After Joes had this idea, she opened Weibo and uploaded an article. His hand speed was extremely fast, and he finished it in almost ten minutes. The content of the article was simple. It was about what Liu Yun and her family had done to her over the years. Cheating, scamming money, selling his daughter, he would do anything he could. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Joes had lived with the Qiao family for a period of time, she wouldn¡¯t have believed that she was of the Qiao family¡¯s blood. Qiao Feng ... Was not worthy of being a father! At the thought of this, Joes clenched her fists by her side. However, her face remained emotionless, and one could not see a single trace of emotion. She concealed it very well. Moreover, because of the program a year ago, Joes¡¯s Weibo ount was verified and she had a small number of fans. However, she didn¡¯t post much on Weibo, and the entire page was like a pool of dead water. She didn¡¯t know if anyone would care after she posted it. But in terms of time, she had the upper hand. No matter what, Liu Yun and the others ¡®words were nder, and her article was effective. As well as the scrimpness he had experienced in city h over the past ten years, as well as the feeling of his broken family, were all reflected in the article. Perhaps it wouldn¡¯t have much of an effect, but it was the basis of a reversal. After Liu Yun and the others released the evidence, joesse would release the evidence and hand over a letter from herwyer. Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Something happened on the inte

¡°Liu Yun wants to upy the moral high ground? The direction was right, so how about letting her have it? With evidence in hand, he won¡¯t be able to cause any waves. ¡± Joes squinted her eyes slightly. After she posted the article, she waited for a while, but there was no movement. But it was normal. She hadn¡¯t used this Weibo ount for almost a year, since she participated in the programst year. She had almost never posted anything on Weibo, and her previous fan count was not even a fraction of those celebrities. There hadn¡¯t been any increase in fans recently, so not many people had seen the article, let alone promoting it. But ... Even if only a few people saw it, it was still an opportunity. After she was done, joesse did not waste any more time. She took out the design drafts for the ¡°deep sea¡± series from her drawer. ¡°The design drafts for the deep sea series. Perhaps this can really help mey the foundation in one fell swoop.¡± Joes smiled as she looked at the sketch in her hands. Under the sunlight, the lines drawn by the pencil appeared even clearer. After that, she had been polishing the design drafts in the office, and the entire Xing Yuan was busy with work. It looked like she had forgotten about the storm that was about to set off on the inte, but in reality, Joes had been paying attention to it. At the same time, the person she was paying attention to also started to make a move. ...... Inside Jiali hotel. Liu Yun, Qiao Feng, and Zhao Hai ¡®er were all in front of theputer. Qiao Lei was also sitting in the corner of the bed. He did not dare to go out because of the huge debt he owed. Otherwise, he would have been long gone. Theputer¡¯s page stopped at the Weibo interface, and there was an unread article. There was also a photo of Jossi, which had been left at the Qiao family¡¯s residence. After a year, although there had been some changes, one could still vaguely see her shadow in the photos. ¡°That little B * tch didn¡¯t do anything. It¡¯s the fifth day, and she really did transfer the money over.¡± Liu Yun looked at the transfer record on her phone with a hint of surprise. At this point, the 50000 Yuan waspletely in his hands. The few of them did not know that Joes had also posted an article on the inte. After all, there was no promotion at all. Only a small number of people who followed her Weibo could see it. Zhao Hai ¡®er also looked at the screen and sneered,¡±¡±Mom, Jossi is afraid. She¡¯s worried that we¡¯ll ruin her career. We can¡¯t let her off. If it wasn¡¯t for Joes¡¯s schemingst time, we would have received a huge sum of 200000 dors. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mouth twitched in dissatisfaction. He was talking about how he had tried to steal the 200000 Yuan bonus from Joes when he had tricked her intoing home for the new year a year ago. In the end, he was retaliated against and lost thousands of soldiers. Thinking of this, Liu Yun became angry and said fiercely, ¡°That¡¯s right. If it wasn¡¯t for that B * tch, Jossi, we wouldn¡¯t have ended up in this state.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, mom, quickly send the article over. Miss yang said that as soon as we post it, she will find someone to promote it. ¡°It won¡¯t be long before the inte is filled with scandals about Jossi. A B * tch like her who doesn¡¯t care about her parents and has a messy private life doesn¡¯t deserve to open apany and live in an apartment like that!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s tone was vicious, but her eyes were filled with jealousy. Even if she said that, she still wanted to live a life like Jossi. Why did all the good things fall on that B * tch? He felt a little indignant in his heart. ¡± 200000! Joes took 200000 from us!¡± Qiao Lei said hatefully. Only God knew how much he desired money now that he was in huge debt. He had almost won, but in the end, he had lost so much that he almost lost his pants. The three¡¯s discussion grew louder and louder, and it was particrly eye-catching in the room. At this time, Qiao Feng waved his hand in frustration and said,¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s not talk so much. Just send it out.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, we can watch a good show now. ¡± Liu Yun sneered and pressed the forward button on her keyboard. The article was sent out. Liu Yun rubbed her palms together and said excitedly, ¡°I¡¯ll inform miss yang now, and the matter will be almost settled.¡± There was no need for Liu Yun and the others to worry about the rest of the matter. There would naturally be people who would take care of it. She only needed to be responsible for delivering the message. After a phone call, yang Yueyue¡¯s people had received the news and started to promote the article on various software. The n had begun, but yang Yueyue was still cautious. She didn¡¯t use thepany¡¯s people to do it, but outsiders. They were all trustworthy and tight-lipped. If thepany¡¯s people made a move and something happened, it was likely to involve the entire yang Corporation. At that time, Yang Yue Yue would not be as simple as being grounded a year ago. Yang Yue Yue was sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot ck tea in her hand, looking like she was in control. ¡°Jossi, let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to turn things around this time!¡± Sheughed without restraint as if the matter had already been decided and there was no way to reverse it. In fact, there were many people hiding in the dark, just that she didn¡¯t know. ¡­¡­ In the president¡¯s office of Xing Yuan designpany. Joes looked at the design drafts for the ¡°deep sea¡± series in front of her. They were about 80%plete. Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. She raised her head and nced at the door. She had a premonition. She put away the design draft and said to the door,¡±¡±Come in,¡± Sure enough, the person who pushed the door open was his personal secretary, Miley. She looked anxious, and it was obvious that something had happened. As soon as he pushed the door open, Millie quickly said,¡±¡±President, bad news. Something has happened online.¡± After hearing this, joesse calmed down even more. She had known about this for a long time, but she did not know when it would blow up. Joes¡¯s expression was still rather solemn as she said,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter? tell me in detail,¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the publicity department and the public rtions department who discovered this problem first,¡± Miley said seriously.¡±From the beginning, there have been some negativements about you on the inte.¡± As for this so-called statement, Millie didn¡¯t say much, but anyone with a little intelligence could guess it. It was probably fake news to defame joesse, saying that she relied on men to get to where she was, that her private life was a mess, and that herpany was in a mess. Qiao si si had heard the recording of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s conversation with Liu Yun¡¯s family. She was certain that they had used underhanded methods. However, for her, who had already set up her ownpany, the effect was very significant. Thements on the inte were overwhelming, almost drowning Weibo and major forums. Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Are you still afraid that she won¡¯t pay?

All theizens were in an uproar. Another melon had appeared in their boring lives, so they naturally had to take a good bite. Jossi was being attacked by a group of people. Most of the social media tforms were discussing this matter. It was clear how much Yang Yue Yue had invested. Liu Yun and the rest¡¯s articles were also written in a heart-wrenching manner. They were just short of pointing at Joes¡¯s head and saying that she was an unfilial B * tch who loved to seduce men. Once this matter came out, it would only be bad for Xing Yuan¡¯s design. There would be no benefits. Millie was very anxious. She wiped the thin sweat on her forehead and continued,¡±¡±President, because of this matter, some smallpanies that originally wanted to contact me have now rejected. If that¡¯s the case, your reputation will also be affected. I¡¯ve already asked the public rtions department to check, but the ount that posted the article is just a small ount. ¡± She couldn¡¯t help but sigh.¡±There¡¯s no trace of life at all, and I can¡¯t see anything. But somehow, the article was promoted. There must be someone behind it.¡± Miley wasn¡¯t a fool. After being by Chen zuolin¡¯s side for so long, she understood some things. The public opinion attack this time around was clearly a result of someone using theizens to denounce Jossi. He wanted her topromise and do something. As for the truth behind it, Miley didn¡¯t know, so she came to inform her boss, wanting to know what to do next. ¡°I see ...¡± Joes furrowed her brows slightly and rapped her fingers on the table, producing a rhythmic sound. ...... This also meant that Yang Yue Yue¡¯s actions had damaged the interests of Xing Yuan design. This could not be tolerated. At the thought of this, her brows raised a little. It didn¡¯t matter. She wasn¡¯t interested in working with such a smallpany that swayed with the wind. After this matter was resolved, with the poprity of the fashion show, it would probably bring Xing Yuan design to the next level. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let the people from the public rtions department suppress it first. Just make some fake moves. If someone wants to harm me and Xing Yuan design behind my back, then let her do it.¡± Joes said coldly. His tone was extremely sharp and his temperament was threatening. ¡°A feint?¡± Millie opened her mouth in shock, but as soon as she finished, she realized something was wrong. She must have had her reasons for saying that. She must have realized that something was wrong and made this decision. Before Joes could say anything, Millie said,¡±¡±I understand, President. You¡¯ll get the people from the public rtions department to confuse us. We won¡¯t rify the matter, but we won¡¯t admit it either. We¡¯ll try to make the matter more sensational. Is that what you mean, President?¡± After hearing this, Jossi¡¯s face revealed an expression of admiration. This personal secretary was really to her liking. ¡°That¡¯s right. Just do as I say. In an hour, I¡¯ll make them take action.¡± After saying that, Joes nced at theputer screen, which was still on the search page. ¡°Yes, President,¡± Miley replied respectfully.¡±I¡¯ll go and talk to the people in the public rtions department about this now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Millie turned around and left the office. After closing the door, the office fell into silence again. Joesse¡¯s fair fingers tapped on theputer as she typed in the keywords from earlier. This time, a lot more things popped up. The first one was the article on Weibo. It was not a mirror image but directly used her name. It was clear how vicious Liu Yun and the others were. ¡°City h¡¯s jewelry industry has been sullied. The female CEO of Xing Yuan design is a scum. Her private life is in a mess and she is unfilial to her parents.¡± Joes mumbled softly, reading the contents of the mosquito. In addition to the summary, there were even a few examples, such as Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin. These two were not mentioned. Even if he wanted to bring it up, he had to see if he had the guts. After reading the entire article, Joes had an idea of what was going on. It was no different from what she had heard in the recording. At this point, the matter was still under control. Jossi¡¯s lips curled into a smile and she raised her eyebrows. She put the web page aside and tidied up the evidence in her hands. The transfer records, the chat records, the recording of Liu Yun and the others nning this with Yang Yue Yue, as well as the recording of the two of them threatening him to give him 50000 Yuan, were all tightly held in his hands. With these things, it would be difficult not to turn the tables. After all, they were all decisive evidence. An hourter, the news on the inte had reached a terrifying level. Most of theizens were talking about Joes with great relish. Some even directly said that she was not worthy of starting apany. Xing Yuan design¡¯s reputation had also dropped to the freezing point, which was not good news. But for some people, this was the result they wanted to see the most. Zhao Hai ¡®er could not help but smile as she looked at theizens who were scolding Joes. That B * tch, Joes, should have been treated this way. Whatpany? she was not worthy at all. Liu Yun and the others heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this.¡±Fortunately, everything is still under our control. That little B * tch can¡¯t make aeback now. Since she won¡¯t give us the apartment and money, I¡¯d like to see how herpany can continue to operate!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s expression was ruthless, as if she had a deep grudge against joesse. However, it was also true that the hatred between the two was indeed to the extent that it could not be mediated. This stepmother was a mistress who had forced her mother away. Joes would never forget this for the rest of her life. Qiao Feng felt a little more at ease.¡±¡±Since things are almost done now, I have to find time to tell her to bring the apartment and money over. If you don¡¯t give us these things, we definitely won¡¯t relent. Oh right, when is miss yang going to give us the reward?¡± One could see the greed in Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes. Not only did he want to get benefits from Qiao sisi, but he also wanted to get Yang Yue Yue¡¯s reward. Not only him, but this was also the nature of the Qiao family. Liu Yun frowned and said,¡±¡±Miss yang hasn¡¯t confirmed this with us yet, but we¡¯ve worked with her on such a thing. She should be worried that it will be exposed. As long as we have this against her, we won¡¯t have to worry about her not paying. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Liu Yun could not help but sneer, as if she was the only smart person in the world. At this moment, he took the money from Joes as if it was in his pocket. After Qiao Lei found out that his huge debt could be paid off, his spirits were lifted. He typed on his keyboard to nder Qiao sisi on the inte. Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Maximum promotion

So what if they were blood-rted? Qiao Lei didn¡¯t acknowledge her as his sister and didn¡¯t give her any money from the beginning to the end. He was so petty. In the luxurious suite of Jiali hotel, Yang Yue Yue sat in front of theputer and looked at the screen in front of her with a smug expression. ¡°Jossi, you¡¯ve finally fallen for it this time!¡± She smiled triumphantly, and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily. She followed the crowd and posted a fewments. After Yang Yue Yue invited some of the marketing ounts and the actions of some people behind the scenes, the inte was still hot. One by one, thements appeared at the fastest speed, including the ones she had just written. The onlooker: ¡°Oh my God, today is another onlooker¡¯s Day. I didn¡¯t expect this female CEO to have such a hidden side. It¡¯s unbelievable!¡± Iron face replied,¡¯the person above is too ignorant. How many women could really sit in such a high position? most of them had someone supporting them from behind. Didn¡¯t he basically have a sugar daddy? It¡¯s normal for a female CEO to be like this, but it¡¯s just that she¡¯s unfilial to her parents, and it¡¯s so disappointing. ¡± A little white: ¡°filial piety is the most important of all virtues. If you don¡¯t even understand this principle, what qualifications do you have to be the president of a bigpany?¡± Don¡¯t forget your original intention: ¡°that¡¯s right. I think many of thements on the inte make sense.¡± Li Bai: ¡°I remember that this female president¡¯spany is called Xingyuan design. It seems to be apany in the jewelry industry. This kind of atmosphere must not be encouraged. It must be boycotted!¡± ...... Early morning,¡¯that¡¯s right, we must boycott it! We¡¯ll make sure thispany can¡¯t continue!¡± Bai Cai: ¡°the person above, count me in. The current atmosphere has been led astray by people who rely on others to get to the top, let alone these people who don¡¯t even know how to be filial.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ There were many otherments like this. In addition, many marketing ounts reposted the article and attached their ownments. In any case, he wanted to trample on Joes into the mud, and it would be best if she would never be able to rise again. The heavens and earth could bear witness to his vicious thoughts. If not for the fact that Joes still had evidence in her hands, she might have really gotten her way. When the people in thepany¡¯s public rtions department saw thesements, they were so angry that their lungs were about to explode. They almost couldn¡¯t control themselves and tried to exin. However, he managed to suppress it in the end. After all, Joes had already said that it was best not to make a move for now and wait for her evidence. His colleague from the public rtions department, little Wang, was indignant. He mmed his fist on the table and said,¡±¡±These people don¡¯t know the truth and are just talking nonsense.¡± Another colleague was a little helpless.¡±Xiao Wang, this is normal. You¡¯ve been in public rtions for so many years. You must have seen a lot of nder.¡± Although little Wang was still very angry, he still nodded, because he had seen many such things over the years. ¡°We¡¯ve seen a lot of them, but we all know the CEO¡¯s character. He would never do such a thing. I wonder who¡¯s behind this?¡± Her colleagues discussed it and also stood up for Joes. It was clear how prestigious she was in star dors design. Miley, who was not far away, also heard the conversation. She pursed her lips slightly and walked toward the president¡¯s office. The one hour that their CEO had given was up. They didn¡¯t know what evidence could turn the tables. After obtaining Joes¡¯s permission, she walked into the office. ¡°President, we¡¯ve already done as you instructed. The public rtions department didn¡¯t send any evidence to rify, but they didn¡¯t admit it either. The public opinion online has also blown up.¡± Miley said respectfully. After saying that, she could not help but look up at Joes¡¯s expression. On the other hand, Joes was rather calm. After hearing Millie¡¯s words, she revealed a faint smile. ¡°That¡¯s good enough. Get the public rtions department to promote this matter immediately, but remember to leave no traces and not let anyone find out. By the way ... Take these things with you. When I send you the message, I¡¯ll have them send it out. ¡± A document was ced on the table. Inside were the transfer records of Joes to the Qiao family, as well as some chat messages. All of them were absolutely true. One could tell at a nce whether this kind of thing was real or fake. There was no need for Jossi to fake such evidence. If she was exposed, Xing Yuan would not be able to survive in the jewelry design industry. Looking at the document on the table, Millie¡¯s eyes lit up and she couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±President, is this the evidence to turn the tables?¡± ¡°...I guess so. We¡¯ll know once we try.¡± Joesughed. After receiving the order, Miley quickly brought the document to the public rtions department. She did not read the document during this time, but waited for news from her President. She only dared to open it after she received the text message. In fact, Joes had been paying attention to the development of the matter all this while. It was only when it reached a peak that she chose to make it public. The more people paid attention to it, the more effective the announcement of the evidence would be. This wasmon sense. ¡°It¡¯s up to you guys. ¡± Joes nced at the door and then looked in the direction of the public rtions department with a burning gaze. There was a hint of a smile in her eyes. She believed that this matter would be handled well. She was well aware of the capabilities of the people in thepany. The reason why Joes did not stop this from happening right from the start was also because she wanted tond a killing blow. If he kept Liu Yun and Yang Yue Yue in the dark, he would be cing himself in a more dangerous position. One could be a thief for a thousand days, but one could not be on guard against a thief for a thousand days. That was why she chose to pretend that she did not know about this matter. Luckily, he was able to use his full strength at this moment. At the same time, in the public rtions department. After Miley saw the evidence in the document, she was a little shocked. She secretly thought that the person behind this was indeed ndering the president. He even wanted to deal with thepany and pull the entire Xing Yuan design down. With so many transaction records and all that unsightly information, even Millie felt that it was not worth it for Joes. What kind of people had she met? ¡°Xiao Wang, and you guys, this document is for you.¡± Millie handed the document over with a serious expression. ¡°This is something that can prove the innocence of the president and Xing Yuan¡¯s design,¡± she said. ¡°You should know what to do.¡± From now on, rify these nderous remarks, then take down all the trending Searches, find a way to change them, and make an article out of the evidence. ¡± Millie paused.¡±In short, use the maximum effort to promote it. Strive to let everyone see this. Understand?¡± Upon hearing her words, the colleagues in the public rtions department also said seriously,¡±¡±I understand, Secretary mi.¡± After that, everyone went to do what they should do and removed those extremely hot Searches. Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Chapter 248-extreme fear

After reading the contents of the document, the colleagues from the public rtions department were as surprised as Miley. After all, he had never seen such a shameless person before. Even through the screen, he could feel Liu Yun¡¯s greed. A few years ago, Qiao sisi would still send alimony and living expenses to her family. After all, Qiao Feng was her only remaining family member in this world. However, Liu Yun¡¯s greedy actions hadpletely changed her attitude. He would often ask Joes for things insatiably, but she would always reject him. She would never pamper such a person. If these chat records and transfer records were sent out, it would probably set off a huge uproar on the inte. Theizens who had previously made solemn oaths were probably all going to be pped in the face at this moment. The public rtions department acted very quickly. It didn¡¯t take long for the hot search to be removed and reced with a new hot search. The title of this article was also very exaggerated, the truth of a certain CEO¡¯s story? After clicking on it and reading the entire article and the apanying records, anyone with a brain would probably be able to see the truth. If they really couldn¡¯t tell, they wouldn¡¯t be able to save him. The public rtions department, which was extremely fast, probably did not expect that a certain Big Boss in the dark was even faster than them. ¡­¡­¡­ ...... In the president¡¯s office at the Zheng Corporation. Zheng Zeyi sat in front of theputer, his slender fingers tapping on the keyboard so quickly that only the sound of ¡°Pi Li pa¡± could be heard. Secretary li was standing at the side, trembling with fear. She didn¡¯t understand why she had been called over again. ¡°Do you know why I called you over?¡± Hearing her president¡¯s low voice, Julie quickly raised her head. Her brain was also working at full speed, and finally, she forced out a sentence,¡±¡±...I know.¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at him and asked,¡±¡±Then tell me, what did I call you here for?¡± Assistant li,¡±I ...¡± He opened his mouth but couldn¡¯t say anything for a long time. He pondered for a while and thought of several possibilities. However, he couldn¡¯t be sure now. He had to see what his CEO had to say. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi was not in the mood to beat around the bush. He pointed at theputer screen and said,¡±¡±Do you remember what I told you thest time? ask the public rtions department to pay attention to the situation on the inte, right?¡± Upon hearing this, assistant Li¡¯s eyes lit up. He instantly understood what the president meant. ¡°Right!¡± After he replied, he thought of the big incident that happened on the inte today. The CEO of Xing Yuan designpany, joesse, had been defamed by the entire inte. There was nothing yesterday, but all these public opinions appeared today as if it had been nned. Assistant li had also encountered many such things, so he was not too puzzled about this. What he was curious about was who had the guts to mess with the Emperor! Qiao sisi was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, even though not many people knew about it. However, the Zheng Corporation and Xing Yuan design were now in a cooperative rtionship, and there were countless ties between them. He still dared to make a move in such a situation. If this wasn¡¯t audacity, what was it? After assistant li had an idea, he continued,¡±¡±President, do you mean to ask the public rtions department to suppress this matter?¡± ¡°No,¡± she said. Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly. Bet? There was no need for that. The fact that Joes was able to make public opinion develop to this stage meant that she was already prepared. He didn¡¯t need to get involved so as not to mess up his wife¡¯s n. He just needed to help promote it. ¡°Tell the public rtions department that if Xing Yuan releases anything, think of a way to promote it. Block all these nderous remarks!¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes and his gaze was cold. The surrounding atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point. Assistant li was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and quickly nodded.¡±¡±Yes, President. I understand.¡± ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you going?¡± Assistant li felt goosebumps all over his body when he caught a glimpse of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze. He immediately nodded and left as if he was facing a great enemy. The way he walked out of the president¡¯s office was as if a wild beast was chasing after him. It wasn¡¯t the first time assistant li had seen his boss like this. As long as it involved President Qiao, he would immediately be extremely serious. Thinking of this, assistant li felt even more sympathy for the person who had attacked them. Of all the people he could attack, he actually attacked that person? Now that he had angered his own President, he was afraid that it would not be long before he was caught. As for the oue ... It was obvious that he would not have a good ending. Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything andnd on theputer screen in front of him. Those people, had their courage grown to this extent? He did not know if Joes would be able to handle all of this. If he really couldn¡¯t do it, he could only make a move. Qiao sisi, who was in star dors, had no idea that there was someone who had been concerned about her behind her back. It was Zheng Zeyi. If he knew, he would probably feel even moreplicated. At this moment, Xing Yuan¡¯s public rtions department was extremely busy, spreading this solid evidence on the inte. This turn of events also shocked theizens and they began to doubt the authenticity of the matter. It was even the intention of the previous ount to post this article. It was simply terrifying. Cantaloupe: ¡°the continuous stream of watermelons has really shocked me. So, what¡¯s going on?!¡± Want to be rich: ¡°the person above, don¡¯t you understand? The evidence was already in there, along with the bank transfer and chat records. It¡¯s very difficult to fake this kind of thing. Moreover, the protagonist of this matter is the female president, so there¡¯s no need to y tricks on this matter. The truth is obvious at a nce. ¡± Wenwen: ¡°you¡¯re right. I guess the ount that posted the article is the one with evil intentions. From this, it¡¯s obvious that this female CEO is the one being bullied.¡± Little Jiujiu: ¡°that¡¯s really scary. At first, I thought that the female CEO had a problem with her morals and was unfilial. Now that I think about it, it¡¯s really terrifying.¡± Sis Yao: ¡°don¡¯t tell me that family saw that she¡¯s rich and wanted to use public opinion to suppress that CEO ...¡± It had to be said that thisizen was telling the truth, and herment was also agreed by many people. After looking at this piece of evidence and then looking at the original article, it was simply full of loopholes and there was no substantial evidence at all. Moreover, the article was promoted so quickly that many people knew about it. Manyizens were skeptical. To think that it would be verified now, and the correct party was Jossi. Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Thank you, then

There were all sorts ofments from theizens. Liu Yun¡¯s side had been set up and was being scolded badly. After all, they had previously treated theizens as fools. This time, it could be said that it had set off a group of anger. Initially, everyone thought that what Liu Yun and the others said was correct, but now that there was such a reversal, it was even more shocking. A mushroom: ¡°they¡¯re really treating us like fools!¡± Ah Jun: ¡°F * ck, just by looking at this News Record, we can see how outrageous this family is. We¡¯re actually speaking up for them!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Thements below the article exploded, making things difficult for Liu Yun and the others. ¡°This little bitch! They even released this evidence!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face twisted in anger. She hadpletely forgotten about this. This was because in their subconscious minds, joesse had never given much money to the Qiao family, let alone helped them with anything. Moreover, the two of them were not blood-rted, which was why he had tried to suck blood from this stepdaughter. However, he didn¡¯t know when it started to fail again and again. It was only after looking at the transaction records that the Qiao family realized that joesse had actually given them almost 100000 dors in alimony! This was not a small sum of money. After all, she had just stepped out into society, and her monthly sry was not high. It could be seen how ruthless the squeeze was. ...... Beside them, Qiao Feng was also furious. He pointed at Liu Yun with a trembling finger and said,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t you use your brain? how can you forget about this matter? Now, it looks like the situation has been reversed. What should we do?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s expression turned ugly as she was being pointed at and scolded. However, she didn¡¯t dare to refute him and said softly,¡±I didn¡¯t expect this little B * tch to have so many tricks up her sleeve.¡± The money and apartment that were almost in their hands were now gone. Who could stand this? Qiao Lei recalled the fierce look on the faces of the debt collectors and shivered. He quickly pulled Liu Yun¡¯s hand. ¡°Dad, mom, you can¡¯t fail. If I don¡¯t return the 300000, those people will cut off my hands and feet!¡± Those who sneaked into the casino were not people who rushed things. There were a lot of hooligans and brothers. If he shouted more, Qiao Lei would not be able to fight back. Moreover, his home address and everything else were all in the palm of his hand. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn ¡®t. Hearing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned and said,¡±¡±Who told you to gamble? look at you now ... Who are you counting on to pay off a huge debt of 300000?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Qiao Feng¡¯s shout. Seeing his expression, Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t even look at him. She hid her head in her neck and tried to lower her presence. The Qiao family¡¯s culture was that they valued men over women. She was very clear about this. After all, she had lived here for so many years. After Qiao Feng finished, he said with a cold face,¡±¡±Let¡¯s tell miss yang about this first and see if she has any solutions. Lei is right, if we don¡¯t get the money from Jossi, we won¡¯t be able to afford the 300000. ¡± At this moment, only Yang Yue Yue could help them, but she was also busy with her own affairs. ¡°I guess that¡¯s the only way,¡± Liu Yun sighed. Qiao Feng¡¯s family no longer had the high spirits they had before, and their hopes were dashed. If they had known beforeing to city h that it was so difficult to get money from Jossi, he did not know if they would have rushed over. ¡­¡­¡­ Xing Yuan design, office. With the situation looking good, joesse¡¯s mood could not help but turn for the better. She hummed a little tune as she turned off herputer. She took out her phone and dialed a very familiar number. ¡°Hello?¡± The call was picked up very quickly. Joes revealed a smile and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± This familiar voice was Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. The reason why Qiao si called Zheng Zeyi at this time was that she needed his help to settle some matters, which had something to do with the explosion of public opinion. She wasn¡¯t a Ninja Turtle, so of course she wasn¡¯t going to endure it. Now that she had the upper hand, she naturally had to pursue it. The goal was to Sue them! At the thought of this, Joes cleared her throat and smiled,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, I would like to ask, do you have any rmendations for topwyers? I¡¯m not too sure about this, but you should know about what happened on the inte, so I need your help. ¡± There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. With the phone in between them, Qiao si could not see Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression at all. Otherwise, she would have known how happy he was. The corners of his mouth curled up, and even his eyes were full of smiles. It was because of his wife¡¯s words that she needed his help. This also meant that she was relying on him. ¡°Sure.¡± Zheng Zeyi was in a very good mood, and one could even hear the joy in his tone. Joes had no idea what President Zheng was thinking about. After hearing that he had agreed, she was a little happy. ¡°That¡¯s good. Thank you. You can send your contact information to my phone. I¡¯ll contact them myself.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble,¡± Zheng Zeyi interrupted him. The topwyer he knew was a little out of line, but he had a good personality and a good rtionship with Zheng Zeyi. At least, they had a pleasant cooperation. Zheng Zeyi had rmended him to Joes precisely because of his professional capabilities. ¡°I¡¯ll just let him know. I¡¯ll call your numberter ande to yourpany in the afternoon. How about it?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows. This sentence gave Jossi a huge surprise. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Of course, it was good to be able to solve thewyer¡¯s problem today. This big President was indeed reliable. ¡°Then, thank you!¡± This was the second time Zheng Zeyi heard a word of thanks. He frowned and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to thank me. We¡¯re too distant. ¡± ...¡±Uh.¡± Joes choked at his words and suddenly did not know how to reply. Between them? They should not have any special rtionship yet, so how could Zheng Zeyi say such things? The corner of Joes¡¯s eyes twitched, and she suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart.¡±Then I¡¯ll do as you say. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time to express my gratitude.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded in satisfaction.¡±¡±No problem,¡± he said. After that, he had wanted to chat a little more, but Joes did not think so. She found an excuse and hung up the phone. Joesse blinked her eyes as her little heart could not take chatting with this person. Meanwhile, Zheng Zeyi looked at the phone in his hand and smiled helplessly, but there was a hint of adoration in his smile. Then, he opened his contact list and found a phone number withwyer Jin¡¯s name. Chapter 250 - As long as the money is in place

Chapter 250: As long as the money is in ce

This was the topwyer that Zheng Zeyi had mentioned. After Zheng ze calmed down, he immediately made a call. Not long after, the call was picked up, and he heard a frivolous voice on the other end. ¡°President Zheng, why did you call me today?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression did not change as he replied,¡±¡±I need your help with something. I won¡¯t forget your reward.¡± Remuneration? Lawyer Jin¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. His frivolous attitude was gone as he said,¡±¡±What is it? just tell me. As long as the money is right, I can try it.¡± Lawyer Jin could be considered an old friend of Zheng Zeyi, but they did not contact each other often. However, he was still quite clear about his character. Although he was usually a little frivolous, when it came to serious business, or as long as the money was in ce, he was absolutely not careless. As for money ... This was something that Zheng Zeyi did notck at all. Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem at all. ¡°Did you see what happened on the inte?¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at thements on theputer screen and squinted his eyes. The matter was so sensational that anyone who paid a little attention to the public opinion on the inte would probably know about it or be informed by their friends. Unexpectedly,wyer Jin was stunned for a while before he reacted.¡±¡±What? What¡¯s happening online? ...... I haven¡¯t been in city h for a long time, and I just came back today. Did some gossip happen?¡± When he finished,wyer Jin could not help but feel a little moved. He pretended to search the inte. ¡°...Take a look at it yourself. Just search for Xingyuan¡¯s design. I¡¯ll send you the addresster. Remember to go over in the afternoon.¡± Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips. After that, he didn¡¯t have any intention to say anything more and hung up the phone directly, leaving only a series of toot sounds. The address and some other information were sent towyer Kim in the form of a text message, which was much better than talking to him. They were used to working together like this. On the other side,wyer Kim looked at the phone that was hung up and shrugged helplessly. He opened the message page and read the messages. After reading it, he finally had some understanding of today¡¯s events. ¡°Xingyuan design, Joss...Interesting. Boss Zheng ... Pfft, President Zheng is actually interested in these.¡± Lawyer Jin smiled yfully, his thoughts unknown. He had decided that he had to ept this Commission. Perhaps he could even participate in it and see something interesting! All these years, Zheng Zeyi looked like a demonic man on the surface, but in reality, he did not get close to women and lived a clean life. This was the first woman that he cared so much about. As a long-time business partner,wyer Jin naturally could not miss this opportunity. ¡°If we¡¯re going to arrive in the afternoon, it¡¯s about time to leave now.¡± Lawyer Jin took a look at the time. It was already 11:30 in the afternoon. He put away his phone and left the apartment with the necessary things, ready to set off for Xingyuan design. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t too far away, and they arrived in half an hour. Looking at the skyscraper in front of him,wyer Kim had an inquisitive look on his face, but he quickly calmed down. In the office, joesse received a call from Zheng Zeyi and coincidentally calledwyer Kim at the same time. ¡°Buzz.¡± The phone in his pocket vibrated, andwyer Jin¡¯s thoughts were pulled back to reality. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Even if he used his toes to guess, he would know that it was probably that Joes, CEO Qiao. Lawyer Jin quickly picked up the phone and said,¡±¡±Nice to meet you, President Qiao. I¡¯mwyer Jin, rmended by President Zheng.¡± Joes was slightly taken aback. She smiled.¡±Hello,wyer Jin. I don¡¯t think President Zheng has told you about my situation, right?¡± Hearing this,wyer Jin replied,¡±President Zheng has told me about it. I have a rough understanding of it. He¡¯s currently downstairs at yourpany.¡± ¡°Downstairs?¡± Joris was puzzled and looked out of the window in disbelief. They had arrived so quickly. It seemed like Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words were credible. He had said that he would arrive in the afternoon, and he was even a little earlier. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go down to find you.¡± After joesse finished speaking, she got up and prepared to leave to go downstairs to pick up the person. However, the moment she stood up,wyer Jin rejected her. ¡°President Qiao, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s just a few steps, I can go up myself. After I go up, please tell me in detail what I need to do.¡± After hesitating for a while, Joes finally nodded.¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. The employees of star essence Corporation went to work as usual. The staff were in good order, and the interior was clean and tidy. One could tell at a nce that the atmosphere was excellent. Lawyer Jin was dressed in a ck suit. With his good looks, he attracted a lot of attention the moment he walked in. However,pared to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reactionst time, he was much calmer this time. Most of the colleagues only took a nce at it before looking away and continuing with their work. Only the front deskdy had a bright smile on her face. When she saw him approaching, she said politely,¡±¡±Lawyer Jin.¡± After she hung up the phone, Joes had already told the receptionist aboutwyer Jin¡¯s matter and that she had to bring him up directly. Lawyer Jin nodded slightly when he saw this. After that, thedy at the front desk led him to the elevator. They took the elevator to the third floor and sent him to the door of joesse¡¯s president¡¯s office. She walked her out before leaving. ¡°Thepany ... Only has three floors?¡± Lawyer Jin frowned when he suddenly had this question. He did not pay much attention to the matter and knocked on the door. Upon hearing the knock on the door, Joes¡¯s clear and melodious voice came from inside,¡±¡±Come in.¡± Lawyer Kim pushed the door open and saw Joes sitting on the leather sofa. There were two cups of coffee in front of her, clearly prepared for him. At this moment, he finally understood why Zheng ze would like CEO Qiao. It had to be said that joesse was very good looking. Especially after going abroad for a year, her entire temperament had improved, and her style of dressing was also very different from before. At first nce, it was quite stunning. ¡°Lawyer Jin, please sit here.¡± Joes smiled and made an inviting gesture. Lawyer Jin quickly walked to the seat opposite him and sat down on the soft sofa. The coffee was still steaming, and it seemed to have just been brewed. ¡°President Qiao, I¡¯m the topwyer rmended by President Zheng. In terms of professional ability, as long as the money is right, I can guarantee that I will have no problems.¡± The corner ofwyer Jin¡¯s lips curled up into a deep smile. After he finished speaking, he took a sip of his coffee. It was fragrant and delicious, and he did not notice Joes¡¯s sudden stunned expression. Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Did you send it to the wrong ce?

Joes smiled helplessly and said,¡±¡±Of course. Since President Zheng has told you about it, I won¡¯t repeat it.¡± She picked up the folder beside her and passed it towyer Jin. Inside it was a copy of some evidence. In fact, with these things, winning thewsuit was very stable. It was just that in order to make things go smoothly, she thought of inviting a topwyer to help. No matter what, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rmendation would definitely be reliable. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lawyer Jin said without hesitation. Then, he picked up the document and looked through it. It was all evidence of the incident. The evidence was much better than whatwyer Jin had expected. It was enough to determine the oue of the battle and he did not have to collect it. Joes took a sip of her coffee and said,¡±¡±Regarding the alimony, I¡¯ve never given less. What I want is to buy it all at once. They don¡¯t have to pay me anypensation, but from now on, I¡¯m done with this family. ¡± Sever all ties? Lawyer Jin¡¯s eyes flickered, but he could understand. Anyone would want to get rid of such a greedy family. However, her indifferent attitude seemed to have broken the family¡¯s heart. ¡°President Qiao, this shouldn¡¯t be a problem. As long as the Qiao family doesn¡¯t have the ability topensate, we can change it to your request.¡± ...... Lawyer Jin spoke very quickly, but his tone was firm. Jossi knew a little about thew, but she was still ayman. Withwyer Jin¡¯s help, she would be able to learn a lot. Joes nodded and continued,¡±¡±You should have seen the other evidence. The main target is the Qiao family. As for that Yang Yue Yue ... I wouldn¡¯t mind if I could take care of her, but the power behind her isn¡¯t small, and it might involve a lot of things. ¡± Yang Yue Yue had the Yang family behind her, and their power was not small either. They were extremely difficult to deal with. Xingyuan design didn¡¯t have the ability to do so yet, but thepany had a strong background, such as Hengyuan investment and Zheng Corporation. Just one of these twopanies was enough to make people fear them, let alone all of them together. ¡°No problem, I understand.¡± Lawyer Jin¡¯s face was serious, and he did not look like a frivolous person at all. He was still very serious when it came to serious business. After that, Joes exined the situation towyer Kim in detail and the effect she wanted to achieve. That was, the Qiao family had to be dealt with. This had already be a crime of nder, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not clear his name. The article on the inte had been deleted a long time ago, but the impact was still there. Joesse had also left evidence a long time ago. Just this alone was enough to make them pay, not to mention that the Qiao family had no money now and still owed a huge debt of 300000 Yuan. Joes did not know about this matter at the moment, but she would know very soon. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s side would also suffer a huge loss because of this, and she would know that joesse was not so easy to deal with. The two of them spoke with fervour and quickly settled the matter. They had also agreed on the amount of remuneration. As long aswyer Jin could solve this problem, he would pay at least 100000 Yuan. The rest would depend on the final oue of the matter. He was also very satisfied with this number. ¡°Then, President Qiao, I wish us a happy cooperation.¡± Lawyer Kim smiled and extended his hand. Joes returned a polite smile and shook his hand.¡±¡±Happy cooperation.¡± At this moment, the sun outside had set a little. It was already two in the afternoon. They had been in the office for two hours. He was very efficient and signed the contract immediately. After signing the contract,wyer Jin was about to stand up and say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks. His eyes lit up and he asked curiously,¡±¡±President Qiao, please allow me to ask you a question.¡± Joesse was puzzled, but she did not say anything. She nodded and said,¡±¡±You can ask.¡± ¡°I want to ask, what¡¯s your rtionship with President Zheng? I¡¯ve been working with President Zheng for many years, but I¡¯ve never seen him care so much about a woman. ¡± Lawyer Jin¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity for gossip. What he said was not false. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s private life was very clean. Even towards his previous girlfriend, Lin Xiu ¡®er, he was neither cold nor indifferent. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have gone out to look for a third party because he couldn¡¯t stand the loneliness. After hearing this, the office fell into a short silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward. After a long while, joesse pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±President Zheng and I are just ordinary friends.¡± Friend? Lawyer Jin had been in high spirits just now, but he was a little disappointed after hearing that. Since he didn¡¯t want to say, there was nothing to ask. With that thought in mind,wyer Kim stood up and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, I won¡¯t bother you anymore. Pleasee with me tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lawyer Jin adjusted his sses and turned to leave. His tall figure quickly disappeared through the door. Jossi was left alone in the office. The coffee was a little cold, but she still picked it up and finished it all. It wasn¡¯t as rich as it was at the beginning, but it was still fragrant. ¡°My rtionship with Zheng Zeyi ... Is really a mystery.¡± Joes let out a bitterugh and put down her coffee. The two of them did not seem like ordinary friends. There was a bit of ambiguity between them. However, Jossi was still unable to ept the fact that they were together and was stuck at this vague boundary. She nced at the beautiful scenery outside the window and came back to her senses, sweeping away the chaotic thoughts in her heart. Thewyer had been contacted and the evidence was ready. Now, they just had to wait for the confrontation with the Qiao family tomorrow. As time passed by, with Zheng Zeyi and Xing Yuan¡¯s design and public rtions department¡¯s promotion, it did not take long for this stone hammer to be ced at the top of most software. The public rtions department had also noticed something strange, but they only thought that it was the otherpanies ¡®attempt to extend an olive branch. They did not think that Zheng Zeyi was involved. In just one day, the situation had reached a point where it was difficult to wrap things up, and it had also caused huge pressure on Liu Yun and the others. They had no choice but to delete the article that was ndering Joes. However, their phones were still beeping with messages. It was all theizens who were scolding them and it was very unpleasant to hear. After persisting for a day, Liu Yun and the others received a court summon the next day. It was sent by the staff of Jiali hotel. Qiao Feng looked at the summons in his hand and couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Did you send it to the wrong ce?¡± The staff member shook his head.¡±¡±This is from miss Qiao. She said she¡¯ll see you in court tomorrow.¡± Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Do your job well

The court? This word was like a wild beast in the hearts of many people, including Liu Yun and the others. When they heard this word, their hearts clenched. They all stared at the door behind them, which was the note in Qiao Feng¡¯s hand. This was sent over by Joes! Qiao Feng instantly understood and his expression turned extremely ugly. The staff member ignored him and left after delivering the things. Therge corridor was silent, with only the sound of breathing and the footsteps of the staff leaving. ¡°Bang!¡± Qiao Feng mmed the door shut and looked at the summons in his hand. His face was twisted. He had never expected that Joes would actually dare to do that! ¡°That damned Jossi, she actually took us to court first. What should we do now!¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s face immediately fell. This time, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to get the money. Even getting out of this ce alive would be a problem. Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at each other, embarrassed. They had previously used this to threaten Joes, and now that they were using it on themselves, they finally understood how it felt. ...... After a while, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and said,¡±This little B * tch, if we don¡¯t teach her a lesson, she¡¯ll really think that we¡¯re easy to bully.¡± ¡°What do we do now?¡± Qiao Feng furrowed his brows tightly and his eyes fell on the summons in his hand. He was also a little flustered. This was the first time he had seen such a thing. Just as Qiao Feng and his family were deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door. When they opened it, a beautiful figure was standing outside. It was Yang Yue Yue. Her face was extremely dark, as if it could drip water. What Qiao si si was doing now had caused Yang Yue Yue a lot of trouble, and even she had received a summon from the court. She really did not know where this and Joes¡¯s courage came from, to actually dare to Sue her! At the thought of this, Yang Yue Yue could not help but feel resentful. She wanted to rush up to Qiao si si and point at her nose to scold her. However, all of this was now just wishful thinking. ¡°You also received a court summons?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression rxed a little when she saw the door open. Hearing his words, Qiao Feng and the others all nodded and said in a bad tone,¡±¡±Yes, I received it.¡± ¡°Miss yang, now that things havee to this, how should we deal with it?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said, annoyed. Yang Yue Yue nced at her and sneered,¡±¡±What, it was clearly you guys who were too good-for-nothing that messed up the matter, and now you want me to help you again? That¡¯s wishful thinking. ¡± ¡°You ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth, but she couldn¡¯t argue. The difference between her and Yang Yue Yue was like heaven and earth. Liu Yun could not wait to curry favor with her, so how could she allow her to do this? Seeing this, Liu Yun quickly pulled Zhao Hai ¡®er back and pushed her away. She said in a ttering tone,¡±¡±Miss yang, don¡¯t listen to this girl. She doesn¡¯t understand these things. This time, we were tricked by that B * tch, joesse. Who knew that she had such a trick up her sleeve? miss yang ... We had no choice. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Liu Yun sighed, but her eyes were secretly scanning the people in front of her. Sure enough, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression was a little more satisfied. She felt veryfortable beingplimented by these words. She thought for a moment and said,¡±it¡¯s true that you guys were the ones who failed this time. However, since Joes dared to Sue me, it means that she¡¯s very confident.¡± I¡¯ll hire the bestwyer. After we go to court, you better watch your words and don¡¯t cause me any trouble!¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were sharp as she nced at Liu Yun and the others. There was even a deep sense of disdain in her eyes. A bunch of trash, they couldn¡¯t even deal with Jossi, and now they even had a handle on them! Liu Yun and Qiao Feng quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, miss yang. We won¡¯t mess up this time. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s the best. ¡± Yang Yue Yue had no intention of wasting her breath on this group of people after she finished speaking coldly. She turned around and left the room. The cking of her high heels grew louder and louder until it disappeared at the end of the corridor. Without Yang Yue Yue¡¯s presence, the atmosphere in the room became strange. ¡°Mom, we clearly have something against that woman. Why do we have to go along with her?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said angrily. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression just now had made her extremely angry, but she had no way to deal with it. Liu Yun red at her.¡±I think you¡¯re regressing. Who are they? Who are we? can we afford to offend them?¡± Of course, we have to go along with her now and let her find awyer to solve this matter for us. It¡¯s not toote to talk about itter. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s that Jossi who surprised me. She¡¯s actually so unfilial!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face darkened. He felt that as Joes¡¯s father and the one who had raised him, he should have stayed in that apartment building. However, not only did she refuse to give it to him, she even gave him a court summons. This was simply disgraceful! ¡°Well said,¡± Liu Yun agreed and said hatefully. She didn¡¯t even feel the pain when her long nails dug into her flesh. Qiao Lei sat on the chair and mmed his fist on the table, making a ¡°bang¡±. ¡°Damn it, I must find a chance to kill this B * tch!¡± His tone was fierce, and his eyes were a little red. The money that should have been in his hands had now flown away, and he couldn¡¯t even pay the debt. This was a deep hatred! A whole family was badmouthing Jossi in a hotel, but even if the people involved knew, they would not say anything. After all, he had already seen these people¡¯s faces, so he naturally didn¡¯t have any emotions. ¡­¡­¡­ That day, in court. Joes had followedwyer Kim to the court early in the morning and was waiting for Liu Yun and the others to arrive. The matter regarding thewyer¡¯s letter had also been posted online. There was no way she would let Liu Yun and the others off the hook so easily after all the things they had done to ruin her reputation. As for the oue, or how to deal with it, everything would be clear in court. ¡°Lawyer Jin, are you confident?¡± Joes nced at the rxedwyer Kim and asked with a smile. She also knew the answer, but it was not good to be in an awkward atmosphere, so she asked. After hearing this,wyer Jin said with confidence,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao. Since I¡¯ve taken your money, I¡¯ll definitely get your job done. And I have so much evidence on hand. If I lose the case, I don¡¯t need to work in the legal world anymore. I¡¯ll just change my career. ¡± His tone was slightly teasing. After hearing that, Joes smiled and felt slightly more at ease. Chapter 253

Chapter 253: It¡¯s all Jossi¡¯s fault

The two of them chatted for a while, and the crowd outside the court gradually increased. They were all entertainment gossip reporters. There were also some that joesse had specially invited to film. Of course, he could not miss such a good source material. He had to expose Qiao Feng¡¯s family to everyone. Not long after, Qiao Feng¡¯s family arrived at the scene and agreed with Yang Yue Yue that they would not take the same car. This was to avoid any misunderstandings if someone saw them. As the recording of Yang Yue Yue¡¯S and Liu Yun¡¯s Secret plot had not been made public yet, joesse was prepared to give her a hard p in the face after she went to court. As for suing her, it was also because he had some clues about Yang Yue Yue¡¯s promotion of these things on the inte. Crack ... Crack ...¡± The shutter of the camera rang continuously. Liu Yun and the others had just gotten out of the car when they were surrounded by a group of reporters. ¡°Are you the family of President Qiao?¡± ¡°Is the thing on the inte true? are you guys ndering President Qiao and trying to get some benefits from it?¡± Is there any cooperation between you and the youngdy of yang group?¡± Questions were thrown out one after another. The reporters were afraid that they wouldn¡¯t be able to grab the headlines, so they all rushed to the front. ...... This kind of melodramatic news was the most eye-catching. Now that there was such an opportunity, these reporters naturally couldn¡¯t miss it. What if they sessfully grabbed the headlines? Hearing these words, Qiao Feng, who was pushed to the front, turned green. He opened his mouth for a long time but did not know what to say. The reporters were like wolves and tigers, and they were suddenly at a loss. ¡°Move aside!¡± Liu Yun shouted in anger. We¡¯re here this time to ... Settle things with Joess...That person, so don¡¯t stop us!¡± Her shrew-like appearance sessfully made the reporters quiet down for a moment. ¡°Settle things? Isn¡¯t the evidence already out online? you¡¯re the ones who ndered President Qiao, that¡¯s why you received a summon from the court. ¡± A reporter in the crowd said indignantly. His words also made everyone turn their attention away. The evidence had appeared, not to mention that it was in front of the court. Since Joes dared to Sue them in court, she must have something to rely on. It had to be said that this group of reporters was right. ¡°That¡¯s right. The evidence has already appeared on the inte. Aren¡¯t you guys trying to quibble now?¡± ¡°I heard that you guys did all these things to get all of President Qiao¡¯s assets. Is that true?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The overwhelming words made people¡¯s scalps numb. Qiao Feng¡¯s face turned red with anger and he said,¡±¡±No, we¡¯re not here to take her assets.¡± ¡°PAH!¡± A reporter who couldn¡¯t stand it spat and immediately felt relieved. Things had alreadye to this point, yet he was still quibbling. He really didn¡¯t know shame. ¡°Who knows if those things are real or fake? move aside, we¡¯re going in now!¡± Liu Yun was exasperated. After she finished speaking, she tried to push the reporters around her away, but they stood like a rock, and her strength was of no use. Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei stood at the back, trying their best to hide their presence. However, there were still countless shes of light on their faces. This time, Qiao Feng¡¯s family had be famous in city H. ¡°Break ...¡± At this moment, the sound of a car braking was heard, and everyone¡¯s eyes could not help but fall on the source of the sound. It was another parking lot, and now there was a white luxury car parked there. One look and one could tell that it was expensive. After the car door was opened, a woman in a ck short skirt and sunsses got out of the car. She looked very arrogant. It was Yang Yue Yue, who had been sued by Qiao si si. ¡°That¡¯s the youngdy of yang group!¡± Someone¡¯s eyes lit up, and he rushed over. In the crowd, there were also many people who quickly followed, afraid that they would miss some news if they were slow. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s background waspletely different from Liu Yun¡¯s woman. She had the entire yang Corporation behind her. Not only that, he was also inextricably linked to Zheng Zeyi. Just this point alone made her more valuable to ask questions than Liu Yun¡¯s family, so all the reporters had left. In an instant, the pressure from before was reduced by a lot. ¡°...That¡¯s miss yang. She¡¯s already here.¡± Qiao Feng looked up and saw that the ce was already surrounded by reporters. Thinking back to the scene just now, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, Yang Yue Yue came at this time, otherwise, he didn¡¯t know how long he would be questioned by these people. ¡°Let¡¯s go, mom and dad. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to leave if they notice us. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pouted. She turned to look in Yang Yue Yue¡¯s direction, but quickly looked away. ¡°You¡¯re right. Let¡¯s go in first and see what¡¯s going on inside,¡±Liu Yun nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. After the family reached a consensus, they quickly walked into the court, leaving Yang Yue Yue behind. Fortunately, Yang Yue Yue was also busy with her own affairs and could not be bothered with them. Joes was standing by a window beside the door, watching themotion outside. She could not help but smile. ¡°Looking at yang Yueyue¡¯s expression, she really doesn¡¯t think much of herself ...¡± Just as she was about to look away, she sawwyer Jin adjusting his sses. ¡°President Qiao, this miss yang seems to be easy to deal with.¡± Shock shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. She turned around and saw his smiling face. She also revealed a faint smile. Although she didn¡¯t say anything on the surface, she agreed with what he said in her heart. Even if Yang Yue Yue was a little more cautious, she would not have given detective Wen the opportunity to record the most crucial evidence. Now, that recording was the most crucial thing to bring yang Yueyue down. The two of them didn¡¯t continue talking. They stood by the window and looked at the scene outside. There was a group of people walking towards the court. Liu Yun and the others finally managed to escape from the reporters ¡®clutches. However, they were stunned when they stood at the entrance of the court. In front of him was a grand building with a fewrge words hanging on it, giving off a sense of deterrence. Just one look at it made one want to retreat. Not to mention Liu Yun¡¯s family, who had never been to such a ce in their entire lives, and this time they were going in as the defendant. Qiao Feng gritted his teeth, but his feet remained in the same spot and he did not move a step forward. ¡°It¡¯s all Jossi¡¯s fault. If she wasn¡¯t so petty, we wouldn¡¯t have been taken to court.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said with a fierce look. She did not notice that Jossi was standing by the window not far away. Hearing this, Liu Yun clenched the corner of her shirt and said hatefully,¡±This little B * tch!¡± Chapter 254

Chapter 254: I don¡¯t have the time to talk to you all

¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll definitely kill her!¡± Liu Yun didn¡¯t finish her sentence. After all, this was the court. Even if she had the guts, she wouldn¡¯t dare to say something like this out in the open. It was fine to talk about it in private, not to mention that there were so many reporters here. Qiao Lei nced at the building of the court and couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. He took a step back without a sound. The Qiao family, who had always been arrogant, was terrified at this moment. On the other side, yang Yueyue¡¯s situation was not very good either. All the roads that she could walk on were surrounded by reporters. ¡°Miss yang, may I ask if you and President Qiao¡¯s family have really been working together behind the scenes to secretly seize President Qiao¡¯s assets?¡± ¡°Miss yang, does the Yangpany behind you know about this?¡± ¡°Miss yang ...¡± Hearing these words, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s haughty expression turnedpletely cold, as if dark clouds had gathered. She nced at the reporters present and sneered,¡±¡±So what if we¡¯re cooperating? So what if they didn¡¯t cooperate? Jossi deserved it!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar. The sound of the shutter kept ringing without stopping. ...... There was no other reason. This sentence was simply too explosive. He had directly exposed his bad rtionship with Joes. This was news in itself, not to mention the fact that it involved ndering Joes and the intention to seize her assets. It would definitely be a big highlight. ¡°Miss yang, do you mean that you have indeed done something to nder President Qiao?¡± ¡°Miss yang, do you have a bad rtionship with President Qiao? Is there anything else that we don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If there¡¯s anything, we hope that miss Yang can answer us directly. Thank you.¡± The reporters were in an uproar as they squeezed to the front. However, Yang Yue Yue had already hired bodyguards, and the reporters who tried to get close to her were pushed away by them. No one was able to seed in such a short time. Hearing themotion around her, Yang Yue Yue seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, but she did not show any signs of repentance. She frowned and gave the bodyguards around her a look. After receiving the message, the bodyguards pushed the reporters away. A path that could only fit one person appeared in front of them. Yang Yue Yue saw this and walked forward without hesitation. Not only did the reporters not retreat, but they also rushed forward even more anxiously. Even the bodyguards around them almost couldn¡¯t stop these crazy reporters. If Yang Yue Yue hadn¡¯t left quickly, she would have been stopped again. In the end, all the reporters were stopped outside the court. They were not allowed to enter. When Yang Yue Yue saw Liu Yun¡¯s family standing at the entrance, she could not help but furrow her brows in dissatisfaction. Why aren¡¯t these people going in yet? are they waiting for me here to make the reporters misunderstand? ¡°Trash!¡± Cursing under her breath, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face darkened as she walked into the court, not even looking at Liu Yun and the others. ¡°This ...¡± Liu Yun and Qiao Feng looked at each other, and even Zhao Hai ¡®er was stunned for a moment, but they quickly recovered. With so many reporters around, if they still acted like they knew each other, they wouldn¡¯t have to refute anything. ¡°Let¡¯s go. ¡± Qiao Feng looked up at the name of the court again. He gritted his teeth and followed Yang Yue Yue in. The atmosphere in the court was as serious as they had imagined. asionally, a few staff members in formal attire would pass by. After they entered, Liu Yun and the others did not even dare to breathe as they followed behind. On the other hand, Yang Yue Yue strode forward. Not long after she entered, she saw Qiao si standing by the window. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes will turn red. This was the current situation. Qiao si si and Yang Yue Yue looked at each other and sparks seemed to fly. From afar, one could feel the tension between them. ¡°Jossi, you¡¯re much more daring than I thought ...¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. She crossed her arms and stood at the side, returning to her previous arrogant look. Hearing that, Joes raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled,¡±¡±Same to you. You¡¯re much better at ndering people than I thought.¡± ¡°You!¡± Yang Yue Yue frowned and scanned her surroundings, swallowing the rest of her curses. ¡°Just you wait, Jossi,¡± she said coldly.¡±Based on the current situation of your brokenpany, there¡¯s no way you can go against the Yang consortium.¡± So what if you¡¯re arrogant today? I¡¯ll wait for the day youe and beg me!¡± ¡°Pa pa!¡± All of a sudden, there was a round of apuse. It waswyer Kim, who was standing beside Joes. After he finished pping, he adjusted his sses and said,¡±¡±Well said,¡± In an instant, the room fell silent. Lawyer Jin¡¯s words attracted the attention of many people. Yang Yue Yue did not understand what he meant and stared at him for a long time. At this, Qiao si si could not help but chuckle and said to Yang Yue Yue,¡±¡±I think you¡¯re right too. I just don¡¯t know where you got such a big face.¡± At the end of her sentence, even her smile was tainted with a bit of coldness. One must know that Xingyuan design was currently in the process of growing and was no longer the smallpany that yang Yueyue had mentioned. Not only that, but Hengyuan investment and the Zheng Corporation were also behind it. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was thepany with the most potential in the industry. If Yang Yue Yue were to underestimate Xing Yuan¡¯s strength, she would be the one to suffer. ¡°Jossi, I advise you to mind your words.¡± Yang Yue Yue squinted her eyes. Joes remained fearless in the face of threats. She nced at the watch on her wrist, as if she had suddenly recalled something. The main purpose of their visit was not to chat, but to solve the problem. It was almost threeo¡¯ clock in the afternoon. If they continued to dy, it might take longer. Joes smiled, but it did not reach her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Let¡¯s enter the venue now. I don¡¯t have time to talk to you all. ¡± After that, she andwyer Jin prepared to enter the hall. However, Yang Yue Yue seemed to be insistent onpeting with him. She had her bodyguards walk to the front, forcing Qiao si si and her partner to slow down. She also quickened her pace and quickly walked to the front. When she passed by Qiao sisi, Yang Yue Yue spoke in a very soft voice so that only the two of them could hear her clearly. ¡°Bitch.¡± These two short words contained a strong sense of hatred. Yang Yue Yue covered her eyes, which were filled with hatred, and entered the scene without looking back. Chapter 255 - We won’t admit it

Chapter 255: We won¡¯t admit it

Joes walked a little slower and could only see her back disappear at the entrance of the court. However, she heard those two words clearly. ¡°I hope you can still be as arrogant as you are now when the timees.¡± She revealed a bright smile, and from her appearance, it waspletely impossible to tell that she had just heard those two insulting words. Due to the distance,wyer Kim did not hear anything and followed behind her naturally. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of the court. The door was open. From here, one could see many people already sitting inside, as well as the judge who was already sitting on the high tform. This scene had a kind of oppressive feeling that hit one in the face. Joes had only stopped for a moment when Liu Yun and the rest caught up to her. Two teams of people stood at the entrance. ¡°Joesse! Stop right there!¡± Liu Yun did not even care about the court that she had always been afraid of. She gritted her teeth and red at joesse, her eyes filled with hatred. If it wasn¡¯t for this little B * tch, how would they have ended up in this state? And a huge debt! It was all because of her! The more she thought about it, the more Liu Yun hated Qiao Feng. Even Qiao Feng¡¯s women¡¯s expressions changed, especially Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯ s, her face was twisted. ...... Other than Liu Yun, the person who hated Joss the most was her. After hearing Liu Yun¡¯s words, Joes raised her brows and looked at the person in front of her with a surprised expression. ¡°So it¡¯s you guys. I thought it was some dog barking. Since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t you hurry in?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were smiling and her tone was even more nonchnt, showing that she was disdainful. ¡°You¡¯re the dog!¡± Liu Yun said angrily. She had wanted to rush up and hit him, butwyer Jin saw that something was wrong and quickly stood in front of her. Lawyer Jin was dressed in a professional suit and a pair of silver-rimmed sses, giving off a professional vibe. ¡°Auntie, please be careful,¡± he said seriously.¡±This is a court. If you do anything, someone will notice.¡± Seeing this, Liu Yun¡¯s hand froze in mid-air as she did not know what to do. She couldn¡¯t help but nce at the court, and the rationality that had just disappeared returned to her. ¡°Jossi, you¡¯re ruthless!¡± Liu Yun red at Qiao sisi and turned around without saying a word. Qiao Feng, on the other hand, stopped in his tracks when he passed by. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯ve gone too far.¡± That familiar voice and face, but Joes had long since given up on this so-called father before her. No matter if it was his favoritism for his son or his act of harming his own daughter, he was not worthy of being called a father. If he had even the slightest bit of concern for his daughter, joesse, he would not have hesitated so much even when he was selling his daughter and scamming her for money. Joes looked up and said coldly,¡±¡±Whether it¡¯s me who went overboard or you all who went overboard, you should know in your hearts. If you didn¡¯t spread these rumors on the inte, I wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to take you to court. In the end, it¡¯s all your own fault. ¡± She was not wrong at all. If Qiao Feng¡¯s family hade to city h without causing a scene, she might not have bothered. However, he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. If Joes had been slightly gentler, the star element design that she had spent so much effort on would have turned into bubbles and been destroyed. Sometimes, rumors could really destroy something. ¡°But I¡¯m your father. If you Sue me in court, it¡¯ll be treasonous. You¡¯ll be criticized in the public!¡± Qiao Feng said angrily. Zhao Hai ¡®er also joined in,¡±¡±Dad¡¯s right, you unfilial daughter, you can even do such a thing! And you said that we were spreading rumors, pfft ... Joesse, you¡¯re really unscrupulous now. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at the judge nervously. Joes could tell at a nce that she was trying to hide something. Sheughed coldly, but was toozy to expose her. With the evidence in their hands, they couldn¡¯t even pretend that they didn¡¯t do anything, unless they were all fools. ¡°Alright, I don¡¯t have time to chat with you guys. I¡¯ll go in first.¡± Joes¡¯s voice was calm and she did not stay any longer after she finished speaking. She followedwyer Jin into the court at lightning speed. Qiao Feng and the others could only see his back and could not help but feel indignant. Qiao Lei clenched his fists by his side and a fierce look appeared in his eyes, but he didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°PAH!¡± Liu Yun spat at him, but since she was standing at the door, she had to go in even if she didn¡¯t want to. The family looked at each other, but finally stepped into the court together. The arrival of the group attracted a lot of attention from the inside. Not to mention, they had just had an argument at the door, and dozens of eyes were staring at them. Liu Yun and the others had toned down their emotions a little. Only joesse, who was walking in front, still exuded an imposing aura. She didn¡¯t do anything wrong, so why would she be afraid of ghosts knocking on her door? After everyone had arrived, they were seated on opposite sides. Yang Yue Yue, Liu Yun, and the others were the used. Joes, on the other hand, was sitting in the intiff¡¯s seat. Her expression was nonchnt, and not a single trace of panic could be seen. Zhao Hai ¡®er was panicking as well. She pulled on Liu Yun¡¯s sleeve and said,¡±¡±Mom, dad, will something happen?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you saying?¡± Liu Yun red at her. At this time, he still jinxed it. He really didn¡¯t know anything. Qiao Feng, who was sitting together, had an ugly expression on his face. He said softly,¡±¡±Miss yang said that she hired the bestwyer, so it should be the one next to her. Jossi¡¯s power is definitely not as strong as miss yang ¡®s, so don¡¯t say anythingter and ruin things!¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er answered unwillingly. Not far away from them sat a man in formal clothes. He was a little thin, but he looked very smart. He had the same upation aswyer Kim, and was another professionalwyer hired by Yang Yue Yue. However, they did not have any evidence. It would be extremely difficult for them to seed. Soon, the court session began. After the judge said a few words, he said,¡±¡±Regarding the usation of nder, does the defendant admit to it?¡± As he said that, his gaze fell on Liu Yun and the others. Qiao Feng, who was sitting at the front, turned green. He secretly nced at Qiao sisi and frowned,¡±¡±I won¡¯t admit it!¡± Liu Yun and Zhao Hai ¡®er continued,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, we won¡¯t admit to it. Why should we admit to something that we didn¡¯t do?¡± The voices of the two people were very sharp in the empty court, and they even echoed. Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Mother is right

Many of the people present frowned, including Yang Yue Yue, but they did not say anything out of line. After Qiao Feng and the others finished speaking, the judge looked at Qiao sisi¡¯s side. Lawyer Jin¡¯s hand had just moved away from the document. Joes lowered her eyes, but she could not hide the smile on her lips.¡±Your honor, regarding the usation of nder, I have evidence, and it¡¯s not just one.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she took the documents fromwyer Jin¡¯s side and opened them up, exposing them to everyone. Although the people behind couldn¡¯t see it clearly, they could still see that it was evidence of a transfer and chat record. ¡°Whoosh!¡± There was a burst of exmations in the court, but no one spoke at this time, and it was very quiet. Liu Yun and the rest had an ugly expression on their faces. ¡°Recently, the defendant Liu Yun and Qiao Feng ... Have published a piece of negative news online. The content of the article is using me of being unfilial, not giving me money, and having a messy private life,¡± Qiao si si calmly said. Jossi did not even blink when she said that. Evenwyer Jin was impressed by her calmness. If it were anyone else, they would probably be unable to control their anger at this moment. At this point, Joes paused for a moment before adding,¡±¡±This article has seriously affected my life and career, but the content is all fabricated. This is the evidence.¡± ¡°Pa!¡± ...... She ced the document on the table and it made a crisp sound. ¡°This is all the money I¡¯ve transferred to the Qiao family over the years. Every single one of them is in it. The amount is more than 100000 Yuan.¡± Jossi said expressionlessly. 100,000 Yuan. Thinking about it now, it was better to feed it to the dogs. He had given the Qiao family something that was worse than a bunch of dogs. Lawyer Jin adjusted his sses and ced another document in front of him. He said in a serious tone,¡±¡±My client is right, it¡¯s very bad. Your honor, the defendant will have to prove that she is ndering me or deny it. If she can prove this point, she will have topensate my client. ¡± ¡°Compensation?!¡± Before the judge and the others could say anything, Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but open her mouth like a duck quacking. Her voice was so sharp that even Qiao Feng, who was sitting at the side, could not stand it. However, Liu Yun had yet to realize her mistake. All she could think about was the so-calledpensation. The Qiao family was already unable to make ends meet. Other than the fifty thousand Yuan that Qiao si had given them, they did not have much left. Most importantly, Qiao Lei still owed a debt of 300000 Yuan! Liu Yun¡¯s heart was about to jump out of her throat as she shot a sharp gaze at joesse, roaring in her heart! Not only did this little B * tch Sue them in court, but she was also delusional enough to wantpensation? This was simply bullying! Looking at Liu Yun¡¯s heaving chest, joesse felt that she had vented her anger and even her smile was more sincere. The judge frowned and said,¡±¡±Defendant, it¡¯s not your turn to speak yet.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Qiao Feng red at Liu Yun. His voice was very soft, but it was enough for Liu Yun to hear him clearly. Only then did she react and look around. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on her, and she suddenly felt like she was sitting on needles. Liu Yun didn¡¯t say anything else and lowered her head in embarrassment. However, she was still thinking about thepensation. After Qiao sisi showed the evidence to the judge, the judge nodded and said to Qiao Feng,¡±¡±The evidence is irrefutable. Defendant, are you admitting to the crime of nder?¡± ¡°Wait,¡± ¡°It¡¯s very easy to forge online records like this,¡± thewyer said.¡±I doubt the authenticity of their evidence.¡± Thewyer made a solemn vow and didn¡¯t look guilty at all. After hearing that, the judge frowned. Then,wyer Kim continued,¡±¡±This evidence is absolutely real. If there are any traces of Photoshop, we can find a professional to recognize it.¡± Joes smiled slightly. It seemed like Yang Yue Yue had even hired awyer topete with them. It was a pity ... With solid evidence, these were all wishful thinking. ¡°This can be verified. We can check Liu Yun¡¯s bank ount or social media ount. We should be able to find some traces.¡± She said indifferently. After saying that, Qiao si looked at Liu Yun and the rest, but she was talking to thewyer,¡±¡±Since you doubt the authenticity of this evidence, please give me a reliable reason.¡± Thewyer frowned and nced at Yang Yue Yue beside him, but quickly retracted his gaze so that no one would notice. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression was extremely ugly at this moment. She did not expect that B * tch joesse to be so overbearing. Now that things hade to this, there was no use in refuting. Thewyer could only make use of Liu Yun and the rest¡¯s family rtionship with joesse to lower thepensation she wanted. Trying to minimize losses was what he could do at the moment. Thewyer was eloquent and eloquent, but Jossi was not willing to hear a single word. Family? Ha ... Which family would sell their daughter like an object? Which family would try so hard to extract even a trace of value from her? He wasn¡¯t afraid of beingughed at for saying this. Thewyer continued to speak eloquently, and after the judge listened carefully, his gaze swept back and forth between Qiao si si and Yang Yue Yue. Very quickly, his expression returned to normal. ¡°I don¡¯t agree with the reduction inpensation.¡± Joes said coldly. Lawyer Jin also spoke up for her.¡±It¡¯s true that she¡¯s ndering others. It¡¯s also been confirmed on the inte. Every word in the article is heart-wrenching.¡± I also doubt the authenticity of your words. If you¡¯re really family, who would choose to do this?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the court began to whisper, but their voices were very soft and could not affect the overall situation. Qiao Feng and the others were a little embarrassed when this matter was suddenly brought up on the table. ¡°This ...¡± After stammering for a long time, Qiao Feng didn¡¯t know what to say. He still wanted to save some face. However, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±What do you mean you don¡¯t count as family? thepensation has to be reduced. You are old Qiao¡¯s child. There¡¯s no use denying this!¡± ¡°Mother is right, Jossi. Blood ties can¡¯t just disappear just because you say a few words. That¡¯s why it has to be reduced!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er also helped to say a few words. There was no hope of notpensating now. At most, it would be reduced. If joesse did not agree, they would reveal their so-called financial backer and announce it to the world! Liu Yun¡¯s face revealed a hint of ruthlessness. Even though she did not know who the person behind this was, Yang Yue Yue had given her some hints. Chapter 257

Chapter 257: It¡¯s not even easy to clean up the mess

If he was not mistaken, it should be some Big Shot in city h¡¯s higher management. As for who it was, Liu Yun wasn¡¯t too sure. In the court, the atmosphere of confrontation was intense and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. Neither side was willing to back down. ¡°Silence!¡± The judge shouted and knocked on the table, which made a loud echo in the empty court. However, the effect was still obvious. After he finished speaking, he instantly fell silent. Liu Yun and the others did not dare to speak again. They still dared to deal with Joes. After all, she was someone they had been controlling since she was young, although things were different now. However, the judge was different. He was someone who could judge them. The judge¡¯s expression was serious as he turned to look at joesse and said,¡±¡±intiff, what do you think of the defendant¡¯spensation reduction?¡± What do I think? Joes raised her brows slightly and shook her head,¡±¡±I don¡¯t agree. I won¡¯t reduce thepensation.¡± ¡°Joes!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face was twisted with anger, but this time, she had learned her lesson and did not yell like before. ...... Otherwise, Qiao Feng would not let her off if she messed things up. Qiao Lei also clenched his fists secretly. There was not much time left for the 300000 Yuan debt. Those people wouldn¡¯t joke around with him. When they said they woulde to get the money, they woulde. At that time, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape even if he wanted to. The more he thought about it, the more flustered Qiao Lei became. He couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Jossi, you¡¯re my sister. Won¡¯t your conscience hurt if you demandpensation from us?¡± Conscience? Joes was so angry that she almostughed. How could this kid say something like that without a smile? Did the Qiao family have this? ¡°Pa pa!¡± Joes pped her hands andughed,¡±¡±Qiao Lei, I think what you said is the best. But do you have a conscience? If he did, he wouldn¡¯t have sold his daughter, scammed her for money, and exploited her. But I don¡¯t need these things today, so I won¡¯t say it. ¡± Joes¡¯s gaze was meaningful. Just because she did not say anything did not mean that she did not have any evidence. Qiao Lei¡¯s face turned red. Before he could say anything, Liu Yun used her eyes to stop her son. The confrontation between the two sides did not reduce in the slightest, and the smell of gunpowder was very thick. After a long while, joesse said calmly,¡±¡±It¡¯s not impossible for me to reduce thepensation, or even not ask forpensation. ¡± Her sudden change in tone stunned everyone. It wasn¡¯t just Liu Yun and the others, even the people in the court and the judge were stunned for a moment before they recovered from their shock. A glimmer of hope appeared in Liu Yun¡¯s eyes. This was the feeling of falling behind. She hurriedly said,¡±is it true that you don¡¯t wantpensation?¡± We¡¯re your family after all, it¡¯s not good to do this. ¡± Since money was involved, Liu Yun¡¯s attitude softened, and she was not as harsh as before. He could leave the matter of threatening Joes to the end, but this was a court, not a ce for child¡¯s y. ¡°It¡¯s a simple request,¡± Joesughed. She paused.¡±That is, from now on, I¡¯ll cut off all ties with the Qiao family. We don¡¯t owe each other anything.¡± Joes finished her sentence with a smile. As long as she could get rid of this group of people and get legal proof, she was willing to give up on thepensation. For a moment, the court was silent. No one expected joesse to say that, and evenwyer Kim, who was sitting at the side, was surprised. But what followed was a sense of admiration. To usepensation in exchange for a chance to sever ties with the Qiao family, this choice did not seem worthwhile in the eyes of others. However, it was the right choice for Joes. She was no longer the joesse who had nothing. She had Xing Yuan designs, apany with great potential. This was the best way to prevent Liu Yun and the others from using their rtionship with their rtives to cause trouble in the future. As long as they cut off all ties, they would not be able to use this to threaten Joes, nor would they be able to continue using public opinion to suppress her. It could be said that from now on, he had nothing to do. By then, the initiative would be in joesse¡¯s hands. Without their family rtionship, it would be useless no matter how happy they were. However, after saying this, the Qiao family looked at each other, but no one agreed. In their opinion, it was still useful to maintain this kind of rtionship with Joes. If they were to break up ... What would he use to threaten her? Other than the financial backer. Liu Yun and the others did not know that the person behind this was Zheng Zeyi. Otherwise, they would have to think twice before making a move. ¡°Mom, dad, what should we do about this?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned. She felt like she had lost out. Even though she hated Jossi and did not want to have anything to do with her, who would they get the money from if they cut off all ties? ¡°It can¡¯t be cut off!¡± Qiao Feng immediately said. His voice attracted the attention of the public, and the people in the court did not expect them to not choose to sever their rtionship. Severing ties without anypensation and the Qiao family having no feelings for Joes at all-this was a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, they did not know that the Qiao family was nning to continue oppressing Joes. ¡°Can¡¯t be cut off? It seems like you mean that you mustpensate me. ¡± Joes smiled radiantly, not showing any dissatisfaction at all. After she finished speaking, her fair fingers rested on the document in front of her and the recording pen beside it. Even now, the recording pen had not appeared. Qiao si si nced at Yang Yue Yue, who remained silent but had an arrogant attitude, and her smile deepened. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be your turn soon. After she finished speaking, Qiao Feng took a deep breath and yed the emotional card.¡±¡±Sisi, don¡¯t let your emotions affect your decision. You can¡¯t refuse to be rted by blood. You grew up in the Qiao family and I have raised you for so many years. I hope you know how to be grateful. I don¡¯t want to sever our rtionship and not even have thest bit of contact. ¡± Qiao Feng shook his head. He looked Haggard, like a father who was truly concerned about his daughter and could not bear to part with her. If she had not seen the shameless faces of the Qiao family, Joes might have really been fooled by their looks. However, after gaining some experience, when he looked at them again, they were all hypocritical and greedy faces. Outside the court, those people couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and whispered to each other. Although the voice was very soft, if one listened carefully, one could still hear one or two sentences clearly. ¡°That¡¯s true. If we cut off our rtionship, there won¡¯t be even thest trace of contact.¡± ¡°Sigh, now that the biological father and daughter have fought to this extent, it¡¯s not easy to even clean up the mess.¡± Chapter 258

Chapter 258: The evidence of the parties involved

¡°If my child was so determined, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it either.¡± Although some people said that, they also understood that some hurt could not be erased and would be a scar for a lifetime. Moreover, Qiao Feng¡¯s family had done more than just nder. Those who did not know would think that they had a deep grudge against Qiao sisi. Jossi pursed her lips.¡±You don¡¯t have to y the emotional card with me. If you had feelings for me, you wouldn¡¯t have agreed so quickly when you sold your daughter back then.¡± When he was in spirit town, the guards there should still have records, so it would be easy to verify this. The judge frowned and listened carefully to the two sides. Qiao Feng did not know how to reply to this. He swallowed his saliva as if he had choked. ¡°Back then ... Back then, didn¡¯t I hope that you would marry into a good family? You¡¯ve misunderstood what I meant. ¡± In the end, Qiao Feng smiled and said this shamelessly. Joes could not help butugh in anger. Shamelessness was truly unrivaled. As for thepensation, both parties could negotiate, and she also gave two options. However, the Qiao family just didn¡¯t want to choose either of them. ¡°Wait!¡± Liu Yun was a little anxious and quickly said. After she diverted Qiao Feng¡¯s attention, she whispered,¡±We can¡¯t listen to her! This little B * tch still had a lot of benefits to fight for. ...... If they¡¯re sold out now, we won¡¯t have any more suitable reasons in the future!¡± The blue sky Apartment and the star dors design were all benefits for joesse. Asking them to give up on them ... Was like cutting off their own flesh. Qiao Feng was also in a dilemma. He didn¡¯t want to give up, but he didn¡¯t have the money to pay thepensation. ¡°No, I can¡¯t cut it off.¡± He raised his head and was certain of what Liu Yun had said. He could not give up on a huge piece of watermelon like Joes. Now that they were rted, there were still benefits to be gained. If she achieved her goal, it would be even more difficult to obtain any more benefits! Qiao Feng had to consider the 300000 Yuan debt his son had. He gritted his teeth and said with an ugly expression,¡±¡±Then we choose topensate. We don¡¯t agree with the choice you made.¡± Compensation? Upon hearing that, Joes raised her eyes slightly. A hint of surprise shed across her eyes, but she quickly calmed down. It seemed that the Qiao family was clinging to her and still thought that they could get something from her? He didn¡¯t know where his confidence came from. Even if Qiao Feng¡¯s family did not choose to break off and chose topensate, Qiao sisi would have countless ways to make him return in defeat in the future. This was her current strength, and it was also what she did after being disappointed in the Qiao family. After thewyer beside Qiao Feng heard this, he said to the judge,¡±¡±Our client has chosen to paypensation. ording to the situation, thepensation amount should be between 5000 and 50000 Yuan.¡± In fact, it was far more than that. Other than publishing this article, the Qiao family had not had the time to do anything else. Thewyer had already done his best to reduce losses, which was worthy of yang Yueyue¡¯s reward. ¡°Five thousand to fifty thousand?!¡± Liu Yun could not help but exim. Even Zhao Hai ¡®er was surprised. 50,000 Yuan ... That was almost all they had left. There wouldn¡¯t be much left after thepensation, so he couldn¡¯t possibly stay in city h and starve! Liu Yun¡¯s fingers were trembling as she red at Joes with a venomous gaze. She wanted to disfigure her. This B * tch just wanted to make the Qiao family unable to live on! As expected, she was a vicious B * tch! ¡°Mom, what am I going to do after I pay?¡± Qiao Lei waspletely flustered. He also remembered those fierce-looking people who came to collect debts. ¡°What else can we do now?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face turned bitter. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he wouldn¡¯t have published any articles. He even used this as a reason to be sued. But just thinking about it made her feel that it was ridiculous. However, now that things hade to this, it was useless no matter how much Liu Yun and the others hated him. Everyone in the court turned to look at the defendant. No matter how thick-skinned Qiao Feng was, he didn¡¯t have the face to continue. ¡°Can you pay less?¡± Liu Yun said, embarrassed. ¡°What do you think?¡± Joes was all smiles. She was sitting upright on the chair, but one could see that she had a light temperament and an imposing manner that could not be ignored. Withwyer Jin¡¯s presence, the current atmosphere was like a raging fire. Joes still refused to give in. After the two parties and the judge negotiated, the amount was set at thirty thousand dors, twenty thousand dors less than the maximum amount. This was already a pretty good result. Joes felt much better when she saw the Qiao family¡¯s heartache and reluctance to part as if their flesh was being cut. Since he had chosen a path to the end, he would continue to bite the bullet and see who was better. ¡°The defendant haspensated the intiff 30000 Yuan!¡± After the judge made his decision, he knocked on the table, and the crisp sound and majestic voice echoed in the court. The crowd was in an uproar, but no one had any objections. Even Qiao Feng and the rest, who had always been extremely arrogant in front of Qiao sisi, had quieted down at this moment, shrinking their necks and not saying a word. Joes sat on the chair and took in everything. She also received Liu Yun¡¯s hateful and helpless expression. ¡°Damn it!¡± Qiao Lei took a deep breath and hid the anger in his eyes among the Qiao family. However, joesse had noticed the gaze that was hard to ignore. After dealing with the Qiao family, it was yang Yueyue¡¯s turn. She looked at Qiao sisi with disdain and asked thewyer to speak. ¡°My client is suspicious of the evidence provided by the intiff. Please present your evidence.¡± Thewyer said. He was not the samewyer who was in charge of Liu Yun and the others, and he was even more capable. But now, it seemed to be of some use. After getting the judge¡¯s approval,wyer Jin nodded slightly and gave joesse a look. He then brought out the most crucial evidence. It was the recording pen that had not appeared yet. After Joes copied the recording to a voice recorder, she brought it to court as evidence. The recording pen looked no different from a fountain pen. It was silver in color, and under the cold light, it glowed faintly. ¡°This is the evidence of my client.¡± Lawyer Jin said without hesitation. After he finished speaking, he pressed the y button on the recording pen, and a voice began to slowlye out. At first, it was the sound of an electric current that could not be heard clearly. ¡± Chapter 259

Chapter 259: We don¡¯t have that much money

The contents were even more shocking. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of the online stuff. It¡¯s just that thest time I asked you guys to post something online, you guys didn¡¯t do anything until now?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s voice could be heard clearly. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that little slut to be so impervious to anything and make a bogus usation!¡± This was what Liu Yun said. And ... ¡°Leave the court to me.¡± At that time, Yang Yue Yue had said this with extreme confidence. She probably didn¡¯t expect that this would be the root cause of her loss in the future. It was also detective Wen¡¯s Secret work that prevented the small tapping device from being discovered by anyone. In a short period of time, everyone had finished listening to the contents of the recording pen. They could hear it clearly. There was only one feeling in everyone¡¯s heart, and that was shock! It was dead silent in the court. No one spoke, but they all turned to look at Yang Yue Yue. He was so confident that he could decide the oue? ¡°Hiss.¡± Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. Was the daughter of a rich family so powerful that she still wanted to control the current situation? It seemed that this Joes was only taking the initiative. Otherwise, she would have been the defendant. After the recording finished ying, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression was the ugliest. Her face turned pale in an instant and she shot a sharp gaze at Qiao si. ...... She ... How did she get this recording? Yang Yue Yue clearly remembered that this was the moment when she was plotting with Liu Yun and the others on how to deal with Qiao si si. This woman had secretly recorded it! ¡°Bitch!¡± Yang Yue Yue cursed under her breath and her breathing quickened. She had not expected this piece of evidence toe. She could not help but clench her fists. On the other hand, Joes was as calm as usual, as if nothing had happened. ¡°This evidence is proof that this miss yang and the others have joined forces to deal with my client,¡±wyer Jin immediately said. The contents are very clear. Whether it¡¯s to control the direction of public opinion or something else, it can prove who is behind this. ¡± Joes nodded her head slightly, expressing her agreement. ¡°Does the defendant admit to it?¡± the judge asked with a serious expression. The evidence was right in front of him. Even if he denied it, after the authenticity was proven, the crime would be even more serious. Liu Yun¡¯s family looked at each other, then turned to Yang Yue Yue with pleading eyes. Unfortunately ... She was too busy to take care of herself. Yang Yue Yue gritted her teeth and swallowed her words. She said again,¡±¡±So what if it is? this recording is real.¡± Even if she didn¡¯t admit it, it would be useless, so Yang Yue Yue simply chose to admit it. However, her attitude was still as arrogant as ever. She was a member of the Yang family. It was just somepensation money, it was nothing. However, this time, Joes had gained the upper hand again! Yang Yue Yue gritted her teeth, her sharp nails digging into her flesh, even to the point of blood, but she waspletely unaware. He looked at Joes with undisguised hatred in his eyes. Sensing her gaze, Joes looked up and saw a pair of eyes filled with hatred. The two of them had been fighting for a long time since their university days. It was impossible to ease it. Jossi raised her eyebrows and mouthed,¡±¡±Learn your lesson.¡± A few short words ignited the barrel of explosives. Yang Yue Yue almost lost control of herself and stood up from her seat. However, the solemn atmosphere around her made her sober up a little. ¡°No, I need to calm down. There must be a way to deal with that B * tch, Jossi.¡± She was a little flustered and exasperated, but she still tried her best to suppress her anger. This was not a good ce to vent her anger. She, Yang Yue Yue, would remember the things that Qiao si si had done today. Sooner orter, she would find an opportunity to take revenge! At this moment, her mind waspletely clouded by hatred, and an idea slowly formed in her heart. Sooner orter, she would make sure that Joes would never be able to turn the tables! ¡­¡­¡­ After Yang Yue Yue finished her speech, herwyer also spoke up in order to reduce the loss. Since the person involved had admitted it, he could only try his best to reduce his losses. Lawyer Kim was naturally unwilling to give in. He released some traces of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s promotion that she had not managed to erase in time as evidence. These were also the things that Joes had entrusted detective Wen to investigate. They were considered supplementary and were all ced in the same folder. The two sides negotiated and argued for justice. Finally, the judge¡¯s judgment increased yang Yueyue¡¯spensation to 70000. Liu Yun and the others did write an article, but Yang Yue Yue was the one who promoted it. She even promoted it at all costs. If not for this, the reputation of Xing Yuan design and joessi would not have dropped to the freezing point overnight. Even some smallpanies that were interested in working with him were scared off by this. After the matter was settled, the judge announced the result of the judgment and then left. The people in the court also left one after another. There were only three groups of people left in therge court. One of them was Qiao sisi andwyer Kim, while the other two were Yang Yue Yue, Liu Yun, and the rest. The two sides faced each other and the atmosphere was tense. Now that there was no one else around, Liu Yun did not have to worry about anything else. She pointed at Joes and said,¡±¡±Jossi, how could you do such a thing? aren¡¯t you afraid of what others will say?¡± ¡°Inparison, who do you think is more ruthless? Who is more likely to be mentioned?¡± Joes said without a care. She had experienced Liu Yun¡¯s mouth more than once or twice, and she was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Now that the power behind Joes was unclear, and with the court incident, she was not as arrogant as before. ¡°You¡¯re really unreasonable!¡± Qiao Feng shouted and red at Qiao sisi. ¡°Ha ...¡± Joesughed coldly and did not bother to argue with them. It would not make sense to talk to these people. Liu Yun and the others were very self-centered, and they felt that everything they did was right. ¡°You guys can continue. I¡¯ll be leaving first. As for thepensation, don¡¯t forget. 30000 Yuan and your 70000 Yuan. Not a single cent less.¡± Joes looked at Yang Yue Yue and smiled. After saying that, she turned to leave but was stopped. The person who blocked his way was Qiao Lei. Qiao Lei scowled and said,¡±¡±Jossi, we don¡¯t have that much money, and we still owe a lot! Do you have to be so cruel?¡± At this moment, Yang Yue Yue also suppressed her hatred and added,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a ruthless person.¡± Liu Yun and the rest had already tacitly agreed to work together with her. Both sides were in a standoff with Joes, and neither side was willing to back down. Chapter 260 - What was the result?

Chapter 260: What was the result?

Such words caused a surge of anger to rise in Joris ¡®heart. She was just giving him a taste of his own medicine, but all of them were talking as if she had done something that was intolerable to the heavens. Joes¡¯s eyes turned cold as she looked at the few of them and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re really shameless. You¡¯re still trying to exin to me that you¡¯re innocent and wronged? I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t want to hear this kind of words. Please make way. If you don ¡®t, I¡¯ll call the security. ¡± ¡°You still dare to call security?!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s sharp voice rang out. The court was empty, and her voice was so loud that it hurt everyone¡¯s eardrums. ¡°Why don¡¯t you dare to? If you continue to shout or block my way, I¡¯m really going to call for help. ¡± Then, she squinted her eyes and a dangerous light fell on Qiao Lei. At that moment, Qiao Lei felt as if he was being stared at by a beast. The hair on his body stood on end, reminding him that it was extremely dangerous. However, not only did Qiao sisi not retreat, she even took a few steps forward, getting closer to Qiao Lei. ¡°You ... What are you doing!¡± Qiao Lei swallowed his saliva, and his heart was filled with fear. He quickly took a few steps back to increase the distance between the two. ...... This action also made Joes chuckle. It seemed that it had some effect, but it was because Qiao Lei was a weak person to begin with, so he was only showing off his power in the Qiao family. If they were outside, they would have been beaten to death. ¡°Just now, Qiao Lei seemed to have said that the Qiao family is in debt. I don¡¯t think I heard wrong. ¡± Joes thought to herself, but her face was extremely calm, not revealing anything. The Qiao family actually owed money outside. No wonder they were so eager to get money from her. They really brought this on themselves. ¡°Move!¡± He shouted. She shouted. Qiao Lei wanted to hold on a little longer, but when he saw her eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but feel afraid. In the end, he stepped back and gave way to leave the court. ¡°Jossi, you will get your retribution!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was flustered and exasperated as she shouted at Joes¡¯s back. However, she did not stop at all. She left the court withwyer Kim and headed outside. Zhao Hai ¡®er said whatever she wanted. She would not respond anyway. On the road. Lawyer Jin raised his eyebrows and said as he walked,¡±¡±President Qiao, your family members, No... I should call them strangers, are quite peculiar.¡± Over the years,wyer Jin had seen many shameless people, but this was the first time he had seen someone so shameless. He hadpletely treated Jossi as someone he could torture and harm. Joesughed and said,¡±¡±Lawyer Jin, I¡¯m sorry to have made youugh.¡± The two of them chatted andughed. Soon, they arrived at the entrance and saw a crowd of reporters outside. They were all anxiously waiting for Joes and the rest toe out so that they could grab the most shocking news. Lawyer Jin was stunned for a moment before he quickly said,¡±¡±President Qiao, I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but look at the reporters outside. He really didn¡¯t want to face such a big crowd. Joes smiled and did not reject him.¡±¡±Alright, sincewyer Jin has other matters to attend to, I won¡¯t stay any longer. Regarding this Commission, the rest of the payment will be transferred to your ount tomorrow, is that okay?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Lawyer Kim nodded. After the two of them said their goodbyes, he left the court through another small door to avoid being interrogated by the reporters. However, Joes did not choose to do so, and she could not do so. The main reason why she had brought Liu Yun and Yang Yue Yue to court was because she wanted everyone to know about this. And now, these reporters were the best way to spread the news. Yang Yue Yue and the others were almost there. No matter what they were plotting in court, they had to be interrogated by the reporters. With that thought in mind, joesse walked out and exposed herself to the reporters, causing a hugemotion. ¡°It¡¯s out, it¡¯s out!¡± ¡°I know! This is President Qiao from Xing Yuan¡¯s designpany, she¡¯s the intiff!¡± The reporters wanted to rush in, but they were all stopped by the security guards and could only stand on the edge. There were quite a few who recognized Jossi, and some reporters had special information channels and knew most of the things. Joesse had an enigmatic smile on her face as she epted the reporters ¡®questions. ¡°President Qiao, may I know the verdict?¡± ¡°President Qiao, I heard that you had a grudge against the Yang family¡¯s daughter. Is this true?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the result this time?¡± The continuous words almost made people lose their heads. However, Joes was not afraid in the face of danger. She organized her words in her heart, cleared her throat, and said,¡±¡±Everyone, quiet down. I¡¯ll tell you everything you want to know.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she nced into the court. Through the window, she could see that Yang Yue Yue and the others were almost here. That¡¯s good, this matter of nder should also be put to an end. After hearing what joesse had to say, the riotous reporters quieted down temporarily, wanting to see what she had to say. Firstly, Joes answered the first question she heard. She tried her best not to answer questions that were unrted to this matter. This was also to ensure that everyone¡¯s attention was on this matter. ¡°I know you all want to ask about the verdict this time. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve seen the evidence I posted on the inte. With those transfer and chat records, my so-called family will definitely be defeated!¡± Her tone rose slightly at the end. ¡°Maybe after I say this, someone will ask me why I¡¯m so cruel to my family. I chose to Sue them.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, joesse¡¯s eyes swept across the crowd. The reporters looked at each other, not expecting her to take the initiative to say it. Perhaps no one had mentioned it now, but many people had the same thought. They all felt that filial piety was the most important of all virtues, and doing so was an extremely disgraceful act. Moreover, with Joes ¡®current status, so what if she gave out some money? However, this was not the case at all. For some evil people, the more you gave them, the greedier they would be. For example, this group of people from the Qiao family. When Qiao sisi was working in city h, Qiao Feng had given her a lot of alimony. What was the result? Liu Yun and the others felt that this amount of money was not enough, so they wanted to sell her to fatty as his wife to earn arge sum of betrothal gifts. Even though it had been resolved by joesse in the end, the memory of this incident could never be erased. If she had been a step slower, the entire future might have been rewritten. Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Shut up, all of you

Jossi briefly summarized what had happened in the past, but her tone was sharp and every word was heart-wrenching. If they had encountered such a situation, would they still be able to maintain a good rtionship with the Qiao family as if nothing had happened? There was no need to pretend anymore since they had already shed all pretenses. After this matter was revealed, the reporters were even more stirred up. Some of them asked themselves and felt that they did not do anything wrong. ¡°I don¡¯t care about what happened in the past,¡± Joes continued.¡±I¡¯m more concerned about what¡¯s happening now. They still won¡¯t let me go even now and chose to drag me and Xing Yuan into the water. I really can¡¯t stand this kind of behavior. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, there was movement in the crowd. Many people were whispering and discussing their views on this matter in private. The voices were chaotic and chaotic. However, the shutter sounds and shes did not stop. Every reporter was trying their best to take photos. After a while, one of the reporters couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±President Qiao, what¡¯s the verdict just now?¡± In the end, he was more concerned about this matter. Joes was not surprised. Even if those things were revealed, it would only cause a small wave. However, things were different now. Not only was Xingyuan¡¯s design involved, but yang Yueyue, the Yang family¡¯s daughter, was also involved. ...... There was no way topare the two, and the final poprity was also very different. She smiled.¡±As for the result ... You can ask the people who came after you about this. I think everyone should know what happened.¡± With that, Joes walked through the crowd with the security guard and returned to the car with a confident smile. The reporters didn¡¯t want to give up just like that. They followed him one after another and asked questions one after another as if they were free. ¡°President Qiao, what do you mean by that? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already won the case?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, President Qiao, please tell us about it. ¡± ¡°Also, President Qiao, may I ask if there¡¯s really a personal grudge between you and the Yang family¡¯s daughter?¡± The reporters were extremely frantic, but with the security guards blocking them, they had no way of touching joesse. The journey was smooth, and she left the court without a hitch, leaving only a trail of ck exhaust. Seeing that he had left, the reporters could only give up when they saw that no one could catch up to him. However, Yang Yue Yue, Liu Yun, and the others gave him a glimmer of hope. They had just arrived at the door when they saw the huge crowd outside. It was even more sensational than when they first arrived. Every reporter looked a little anxious, holding their cameras and microphones. Just by looking at it, it was densely packed. Liu Yun was a little speechless, and she also had some thoughts,¡±Why ... Why are there so many people?¡± She had just witnessed the abilities of these reporters. They werepletely pervasive and were even more difficult to deal with than shrews. With so many people, would they be able to leave smoothly? Not only Liu Yun and the others, even Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression turned ugly. She remained silent for a long time with a gloomy face. Qiao Feng¡¯s face turned green and he frowned.¡±¡±There are so many people here. We can¡¯t go from here. Let¡¯s take another path.¡± ¡°I think dad is right. There are so many reporters here. Let¡¯s change our route.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er did not dare to step forward. Although Yang Yue Yue did not say anything, her attitude showed that she agreed. She wasn¡¯t afraid of these reporters, but she didn¡¯t want to deal with them. Who knew what would be spread in the end? Yang Yue Yue had been arrogant and despotic in city h for so long, so she was clear about the rules of this industry. The few of them came to a consensus and were about to turn around and leave through another door when something happened. ¡°Look, that¡¯s miss yang and President Qiao¡¯s family! We can¡¯t let them go!¡± A reporter quickly said after seeing the person. His words attracted the attention of the other reporters. They all looked at the door and saw Yang Yue Yue and the others. Most of the People¡¯s eyes lit up. Since joesse had already left, it was not impossible for Yang Yue Yue and the others to take her ce. They were determined to know the result of the verdict. Hearing the voice behind them, Liu Yun and the others stopped in their tracks. They were a little upset that they had been discovered. They were about to continue running, but the reporters behind them didn¡¯t give them the chance. ¡°Hurry up! They want to leave through the back door!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let them go. Otherwise, we won¡¯t get any useful information from this interview.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll go to the back door too!¡± Some of the reporters immediately made a decision and ran to the back door as fast as they could. That speed wasparable to a 100-meter sprint expert. Unfortunately, it was used in chasing the wind and capturing the shadow, as well as in gossip. In an instant, half of the reporters at the entrance were gone. This time, it was useless even if he went to the back door. Yang Yue Yue clenched her fists tightly, a hint of hatred shed in her eyes. She nced at Liu Yun and the others with disdain, then turned and left the court. He didn¡¯t go to the back door, but walked out from the front door. Since so many reporters had already gone to the back door, there was no point in going any further. It was better to leave directly from the main entrance. ¡°Miss yang, did she just go out like that?¡± Liu Yun was a little surprised. She then thought of the reporters ¡®Wolf-like behavior. Qiao Feng¡¯s face darkened as he said,¡±¡±Miss yang is different from us. She has a powerful force behind her. We¡¯re still in debt, so let¡¯s find a chance to escape. Don¡¯t let these reporters catch us. ¡± His thoughts were the same as the others. Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded without hesitation,¡±¡±When that woman gets our attention, we¡¯ll run.¡± After making their decision, they all looked at the scene at the entrance of the court. During this time, Zhao Hai ¡®er secretly nced at Qiao Lei. If it wasn¡¯t for this so-called younger brother, would the Qiao family be in so much debt? Now, she might even be implicated. She really wanted to leave this broken ce! A thought appeared in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mind, but she suppressed it. She raised her head and looked at the reporters. Yang Yue Yue was surrounded by reporters the moment she stepped out. If it wasn¡¯t for the security guards stopping these crazy reporters, these microphones would probably have been stuffed into her mouth. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. She was also at her limit and said angrily,¡±¡±All of you, shut up!¡± At this moment, there were countless shes and shutter sounds. The reporters had the advantage in numbers. They didn¡¯t stop just because Yang Yue Yue was angry. Instead, they paid more attention to the news at this moment. The Yang family¡¯s young miss had a bad personality, so this was also a good headline. The incident with Joes was indeed sensational, but other news had to be caught up too. Chapter 262

Chapter 262: It was a dangerous move

There were not many opportunities to have scandals about Yang Yue Yue, but times were different now. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s opponent was the president of Xing Yuan design, joesse. Even if it was just a smallpany, it had the support of Hengyuan and the Zheng Corporation. This was an unpredictable power. In such a situation, the reporters were more concerned about Yang Yue Yue¡¯s scandals. The reporters did not care about her attitude and asked questions one after another. ¡°Miss yang, may I ask what the judge¡¯s decision was in the court just now?¡± ¡°We have the right to disclose this matter. We hope that miss Yang can answer our questions directly.¡± ¡°Also ... Does miss yang have a personal grudge with CEO Xing Yuan? is that why she used the power of public opinion to attack her?¡± Yang Yue Yue couldn¡¯t help but feel a little annoyed at the continuous questions. However, she also knew that if the current situation was not rified, yang enterprise might be implicated. If things had developed to this point, it would be much more serious than he had imagined. Yang Yue Yue took a deep breath and suppressed her anger and hatred. She said,¡±¡±It was just a coincidence this time, not as much as you think. As for the verdict this time, I¡¯ve made a mistake and lost the case. The Yang consortium will make a statement on this matter, but if I find out that you¡¯re writing nonsense ...¡± ...... At the end of her sentence, her sharp eyes swept across the crowd, her eyes filled with ruthlessness. The reporters didn¡¯t say anything either. They were silent for a long time. ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s what happened. Don¡¯t ask me anymore, I¡¯m going back.¡± Yang Yue Yue retracted her gaze and signaled the security guards to stop the reporters. After she answered, she walked straight to the car. The reporters were very dissatisfied with this answer and rushed up to ask more questions. All of them followed Yang Yue Yue. Even the reporters who had gone to the entrance to block people ran back, leaving the back door empty for a while. The reporters had temporarily forgotten about Liu Yun and the others, which gave them an opportunity to strike. While Yang Yue Yue was being held back by the reporters, they quickly ran to the back door. As expected, the back door was empty. Using this opportunity, Liu Yun¡¯s family managed to escape from the court and escape a cmity. Yang Yue Yue also left in the end, but a bunch of reporters chased after the car for a long distance before they could shake them off. She couldn¡¯t help but look at the scene behind her. She felt like a fugitive. ¡°Joesse! I¡¯ll teach you a lesson sooner orter!¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes were a little red as she gritted her teeth and said this, her nails digging into the leather seat under her. However, she couldn¡¯t care less about that now. All she could feel was hatred. If Qiao si si knew about this, she would be even more on guard. After all, no one knew what Yang Yue Yue would do. Controlling the direction of public opinion this time might sound excessive, but this was definitely not the scariest thing. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, on the other side. The sky was getting dark, and the sun was setting, leaving behind a beautiful afterglow. After being in court for a long time, joesse was feeling a little hungry. She unwrapped a piece of bread from the car and gave detective Wen a call. She really had to thank him for this. If it wasn¡¯t for detective Wen, they wouldn¡¯t have found such direct evidence. If he wanted to bring Yang Yue Yue down, he had no way of doing so without this evidence. ¡± The call was picked up after two rings. Detective Wen¡¯s clear voice was heard from the other end of the line. He sounded slightly puzzled,¡±¡±President Qiao, why did you call me all of a sudden?¡± The matter of the remaining payment had been settled, and detective Wen thought that Joes would not contact him for the time being. He didn¡¯t expect to receive a call just a few dayster. Could it be that he had a Commission? Joes did not know what was going on in detective Wen¡¯s mind. She smiled and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing else I¡¯m calling you for. I just want to thank detective Wen for giving me the recording. If it wasn¡¯t for the recording as direct evidence, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have won so smoothly today. ¡± After saying that, she chuckled twice and seemed to be in a good mood. Detective Wen also smiled.¡±After all, this is my duty. I¡¯m paid to help others. President Qiao has also given me the corresponding reward. It¡¯s a win-win cooperation.¡± The two of them spoke without missing a single drop of water. Other than thanking him, they didn¡¯t say anything else. Looking at the time, Joes said,¡±¡±Then I won¡¯t disturb you any longer, detective Wen. I¡¯ll look for you to work with me next time if there¡¯s a chance.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for the good news.¡± After greeting each other, the two hung up the phone, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. It just so happened that the traffic light in front of him was red and he had to stop for a while. Qiao si used this time to send an inquiry message to President Xu. After that, she continued to drive after the red light. The questions were about the fashion show, which had been dyed for a long time, and he didn¡¯t know how it was going. Fortunately, President Xu replied very quickly, and it was good news. He said that he had already found a new venue, but it would take some time to set it up. That was not a problem. The most important thing was that it would take less than two weeks toplete all the preparations. At that time, ording to the current poprity, the fashion show would cause a big sensation. It was not impossible for Xing Yuan to use this battle to be famous. ¡°We¡¯ve been busy for so many days, and we finally have some good news. ¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief and felt slightly more at ease. She spent more than ten minutes to return to the blue sky Apartment. This time, Zheng Zeyi did not seem to be in the apartment. She stood at the door and watched for a while. She knocked on the door but did not hear any movement from inside. Perhaps he was busy with work ... As Joes thought about it, she turned around and returned to her apartment. She also forwarded all the polished drafts that Miley had sent over today to President Xu. After they nodded in agreement, they could officially start production. The fashion show was in a week¡¯s time, so it was better to act early in case there was no time. ¡°Miley, gather the managers of all the departments in thepany tomorrow. We¡¯ll have a meeting on the third floor.¡± Joesse¡¯s slender fingers kept on jumping on the screen. After she finished typing, she sent the message. Millie was still awake. When she saw the message, she immediately replied,¡±¡±Yes, President.¡± The foundation had beenid down, and most of the negative news about Xing Yuan¡¯s designs had been removed. He believed that what he had agreed to today would be spread all over the world tomorrow. When that time came, Yang Yue Yue and the others would be at a disadvantage. Joes would instead use this to increase the reputation of star essence designs. It was killing two birds with one stone, but it was also a dangerous move. Chapter 263

Chapter 263: She said something

It would be fine if he used it correctly, but if he didn¡¯t use it correctly, he would lose the whole game. After this matter was over, Xing Yuan design would receive more cooperation. He had to talk to the Department managers and improve the rules and regtions of each department. As she was thinking about things, Joes fell asleep very quickly. She was also a little tired after being busy. But in fact, she didn¡¯t know that there were many people who were silently helping her, such as a certain Big Shot across the street. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day. Just as Jossi had expected, in just one night, news of what had happened in court yesterday had spread everywhere. Theizens were in a heated discussion, discussing the protagonists of this incident, Qiao sisi and Yang Yue Yue. Yesterday, the reporters had asked, but in the end, they did not get an answer. Joes was eating her breakfast while looking at the lively content on her phone. The corners of her lips could not help but curve up. The current situation was actually very good. She had already written the statement regarding the verdict yesterday, and after a night of brewing, the matter had be even more popr. After giving it some thought, joesse did not hesitate any further and immediately sent out the article. The effect of sending it out at this moment was definitely good. ...... The content of the article was about the court¡¯s verdict yesterday, as well as some thoughts on the nder. ¡°This time, we should be able to teach them a lesson.¡± After sending the message, she turned off her phone and finished the breakfast that she had prepared on the table. The breakfast was simple. It was a sandwich and a ss of milk. After she finished eating, she rushed to thepany. She had a meeting to attend in the morning, so she arrived earlier than usual. Some documents and ns still needed to be prepared. On this side, she did not care about what was happening on the inte after she posted it, but that statement set off a storm. Thements section under Weibo was about to explode. Some were surprised, and some were just there to watch the show. All of a sudden, the situation changed. Little Bear: ¡°this career woman has some tricks up her sleeves. I saw this statement and her previous tricks. She¡¯spletely head-on. I¡¯m impressed!¡± Antelope Princess: ¡°I agree with the person above. I¡¯ve heard of this President Qiao. He¡¯s the president of a newpany, but he¡¯s so tough. He should have some ability.¡± Day-to-day little confusion: ¡°that¡¯s a must. Without some strength, how can we go against the Yang family?¡± Yin Yin said,¡¯I think President Qiao¡¯s family is really too much. Not only did they do so many disgusting things in the past, but they still won¡¯t let her off. A lot of people¡¯s previous spections were correct. This group of vampires is just trying to oppress President Qiao, and they¡¯re even working with the Yang family. ¡± Love of Luna¡¯s life: ¡°that makes sense. Your social circle is a mess.¡± The person above was an idiot.¡±It¡¯s not just chaotic. Who knows if this is true or false? anyway, we¡¯ll just keep a wait-and-see attitude.¡± If it¡¯s true, then President Qiao¡¯s family has indeed gone overboard. They even treated their own daughter this way. ¡± ¡°There aren¡¯t that many families that value men over women. They¡¯re all old-fashioned people. What era are we in now? they still think that women are inferior to men.¡± All living beings: ¡°President Qiao is decisive. I¡¯m going to be a fan. I¡¯ll follow you!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ There were also indignantments, but after the rification, most of theizens were on Jossi¡¯s side. The first reason was that she had evidence. The second reason was that she had the upper hand. However, Yang Yue Yue and Liu Yun¡¯s actions were truly despicable, so everyone was on her side. Rumors were flying everywhere, and yang enterprise was also affected. Many people dug out thepany¡¯s ck materials from the past few years. There was a wave of scolding, and it could be said to be a shower of dog blood. Yang Yue Yue was also scolded by her family, who told her not to get involved in this kind of trouble, but she did not listen. The Yang family was extremely busy, and Liu Yun¡¯s side wasn¡¯t any better. With the people from the court watching, they did not dare to notpensate Joes. The next day, they transferred the money over. Qiao Feng felt like he was cutting his own flesh when he sent out the 30000 Yuan. After he sent it out, he threw the phone on the bed. The atmosphere in the entire room was a little off. ¡°Mom,¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said hatefully,¡±this yang Yueyue is too good at burning bridges. She kicked us away the moment she saw that we were no longer useful!¡± After she finished speaking, she was still a little angry and kicked the stool. Even if there was a slight pain, she didn¡¯t care. This pain couldn¡¯tpare to the hatred in her heart. Zhao Hai ¡®er had always hated Jossi the most, and now there was yang Yueyue. It was not because of anything other than jealousy. This time, in court, Jossi had turned the tables on them. Yang Yue Yue was thoroughly enraged. She did not allow them to continue staying at the Jiali hotel and told them to get out once the sky turned dark. His words were filled with humiliation. How could anyone bear it? Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and clenched her fists. If she was as powerful and influential as them, she wouldn¡¯t need to care about these people¡¯s attitude. Liu Yun didn¡¯t know what her daughter was thinking about. Her face twisted as she said, ¡°She¡¯s just a B * tch who¡¯s going to burn the bridge after crossing the river. If we¡¯re kicked out of Jiali, where can we live? I don¡¯t have any spare money left, and with Xiao Lei¡¯s 300000 Yuan debt, I have to think of a way!¡± With that, Liu Yun¡¯s eyes turned vicious as she pondered. The hotel room instantly fell silent, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t say a word, but from his gloomy expression, it was obvious that he wasn¡¯t in a good mood. If he couldn¡¯t return the 300000 Yuan within the stipted time, that group of people woulde to him for the debt! At that time, things would not be as simple as they were now. Everyone had their own thoughts. After a while, Qiao Feng seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Liu Yun and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst time that you could deal with that woman by holding onto her weakness?¡± The person he was talking about was Yang Yue Yue. Initially, he had wanted to use this as a leverage against Joes. However, the truth had been revealed in court and he could no longer use this excuse. Liu Yun furrowed her brows, but her eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°That¡¯s not the only thing that yang told us. When I went to look for her once, she told me something. ¡± That time, Liu Yun had gone to look for Yang Yue Yue alone at night. At that time, she heard someone talking in the room. Fortunately, she was careful and did not knock on the door directly. Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Don¡¯t forget our previous objective

Furthermore, he had turned on his phone¡¯s recording mode and recorded the conversation of those people. They were discussing how to deal with Joes. The content was that Yang Yue Yue wanted to use someone as bait to lure joesse out and think of a way to ... After Liu Yun secretly listened to the entire conversation, she took her phone and went back to her room. At that time, there was no movement. As long as Yang Yue Yue did not check the surveince cameras, no one would know that she went to the top floor that night. But now, this was something he could use against Yang Yue Yue. After the matter was settled, Liu Yun said with pride,¡±¡±I don¡¯t believe that Yang Yue Yue is so cruel that she wants to kick us away after she¡¯s done. There¡¯s no such good thing in this world. Even if we leave, we must ruthlessly peel off ayer of skin from her. ¡± Liu Yun took out her phone from her pocket and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the recording. ¡°Well done,¡± Qiao Feng said,¡±we¡¯re in urgent need of money now. Let¡¯s go talk to that yang guyter. ¡± If she doesn¡¯t give us the money or find us a ce to stay, then we¡¯ll expose this recording or give it to Jossi. ¡± No matter which method he used, it would definitely be harmful to Yang Yue Yue. In addition to the direction of public opinion this time, yang Yueyue¡¯s reputation in city h was almost ruined. ¡°That¡¯s right, we must make her pay. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said viciously. ...... After the family reached a consensus, they began to pack their bags and leave Jiali hotel to find Yang Yue Yue. They couldn¡¯t stay in this hotel any longer. The staff inside were all looking at them weirdly. They must have found out about what was happening on the inte, and they were looking at them with disdain. Liu Yun wanted to dig out their eyes. They only knew how to look, but they had to care about other people¡¯s family matters. Because of this announcement, everything had be a little chaotic and out of control. And ... There were more people taking action. For example, Zheng Zeyi. He was sitting in his office chair, holding a thin document that assistant li had just presented to him. What was written in it was the impact of his actions. Of course, it was done by people he had sent in private. If this kind of thing was too open and aboveboard, it would also affect the reputation of Xing Yuan design. The Yang family had been so busy recently, and Zheng Zeyi was secretly putting pressure on them. This action forced the Yang family to stop, and they even reprimanded Yang Yue Yue. ¡°The Yang family, ha.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled, but his smile was cold. He nced at it and threw it on the table with a ¡°pa¡± sound. Seeing this, assistant li raised his eyes and felt that he had to say something. ¡°President Zheng, do you want to continue increasing the pressure on the Yang family and those coborations?¡± Zheng zeughed.¡±There¡¯s no need to stop. Just do as I say. Of course, we need to put pressure on you. Don¡¯t stop.¡± However, you have to keep an eye on the projects that are open to the public. You should know the terms in the contract that the Yang family is under the control of thepany. You have to make good use of this. ¡± He nced at assistant li indifferently, which made his hair stand on end. Assistant Li¡¯s eyes widened, and he quickly nodded.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. I¡¯ll definitely take care of these things.¡± Hearing this, Zheng Zeyi finally showed a satisfied expression. Since the Yang family dared to provoke his fianc¨¦e, they had to be prepared to suffer the wrath of the Yang family. As for taking revenge in broad daylight, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile was cold. He was not prepared to let the Yang family off so easily. The best choice was to die with grievances. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, in the Xingyuan design meeting room. When Joes arrived at star dors, she realized that the managers of the various departments had also arrived very early. Miley had already gathered everyone. With some documents, everyone came to the well-lit meeting room. There was a projector screen in front of the meeting room, which showed some ns for the development of star essence. ¡°As everyone can see, the star essence is currently developing steadily. These are some of my ns for the future development route. If you have any opinions, you can raise them at any time so that we can revise and improve together. ¡± Joes pointed at the big screen behind her with a smile on her face. The managers of each department looked at each other and finally looked at the big words on the screen seriously. Their attitudes were extremely serious. They naturally had to think about thepany¡¯s future. Not long after, a department manager said,¡±¡±I think the president¡¯s n is very good. First, we¡¯ll use the fashion show to make a name for ourselves, and then we¡¯ll participate in the next charity donation in city H. Using this to establish Xing Yuan¡¯s good reputation, it will be much more convenient for us to do things in the future. I¡¯m sure there will be many people who wille to seek cooperation. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I think so too. I have no objections. ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any, either.¡± All the Department managers said one after another. They were not blindly ttering Joes, but there was nothing wrong with this line of thought. After the nderous incident on the inte, Xing Yuan¡¯s reputation had spread a lot, but no one knew his true strength. However, it would be different after President Xu¡¯s fashion show. It would make Xing Yuan really famous. With the addition of the next charity donation, it could be said that the negative impact of this incident had beenpletely reversed. This was also the result of joesse¡¯s long consideration. She nodded slightly and raised a few more questions. After making some amendments to the proposal, it looked more perfect. After solving a part of the problem, he would focus on Xing Yuan. ¡°At present, the scale of star dors is slowly expanding. I will mention to President Chen about booking the entire building in a while. If there are no idents, there will be results in the next few days.¡± Joes paused for a moment before she continued,¡±the Human Resources Department will continue to recruit employees. Don¡¯t forget our previous objective.¡± Education and ability can be used as a standard of reference, but not the only ones. If they have the talent and are willing to work hard, we can¡¯t let them go. We can provide some new blood for Xing Yuan. ¡± Xu Hai¡¯s eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.¡±¡±Yes, President. I promise toplete the task.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Joes revealed a faint smile. The managers of the other departments could not stay idle either. She had assigned some tasks to expand the scale of Xing Yuan. If he bought the upper floors, he would still have to renovate them in the next few days. He would have to arrange the work flow before he could move some things. This was to prevent the employees in thepany from being affected by this incident. Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Please don¡¯t misunderstand

After the meeting ended, Joes felt a sense of relief. Her eyes glowed with a little more light and she was filled with hope for the future. The Department managers left one after another to busy themselves with their own matters. Xu Hai, who had the most important task, also left in a hurry and began to prepare to recruit new employees for thepany. The Human Resources Department was quite capable. Joes had been observing thepany recently and found that the atmosphere among the employees was not bad. He didn¡¯t feel this way when he was at Shiyu. Althoughpetition was a good thing, it wasn¡¯t something that could be said to be ruthless between colleagues. ¡°President, do you need me to contact President Chen?¡± Millie said respectfully. Jossi was sitting on her office chair, reading a document. She shook her head slightly.¡±There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll contact President Chen personally. You can go and do your work.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± After that, Millie left the office and closed the door behind her. After quietly reading the documents in the office, joesse took out her phone and gave Chen zuolin a call. ¡°Toot ...¡± However, the phone rang for a long time, and no one picked up. Could it be that he was dealing with something? ...... A suspicious look appeared on joesse¡¯s face, but she did not think too much about it. After making a phone call, she did not continue to disturb him. After all, he was the boss of apany. If he was really busy with something, it would be rude to call him. After thinking for a while, joesseposed the matter of buying the building into a text message and clicked ¡®send¡¯. When Chen zuolin finished his work, he would naturally notice this message. What she didn¡¯t know was that Chen zuolin was being interrogated by his mother, and his phone was already upstairs. Otherwise, he would be questioned again if he carried it with him. ¡°Mom, let¡¯s forget it.¡± Chen zuolin furrowed his brows, his face a little gloomy. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip. In front of him sat ady in luxurious clothes. She looked to be in her 30s at most and had maintained herself very well. It was Chen zuolin¡¯s mother, Qi Yan. ¡°Zuolin, you¡¯re not young anymore. It¡¯s time to find someone who can spend the rest of your life with you.¡± I think that girl from the Bai family is really not bad. You should go and see her. How would you know if you don¡¯t see her?¡± Qi Yan was mentally exhausted. She had been worried sick about her son¡¯s marriage. However, her son refused to listen to her and was still single. She was very worried. Hearing this, Chen zuolin¡¯s expression was still calm. He firmly said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not going. ¡± It was a simple word, but it expressed his determination. After trying to persuade him for so long, Qi Yan was a little tired. She waved her hand and said,¡±¡±Then forget it, we¡¯ll talk about it when you want to. I¡¯m not forcing you, but it¡¯s better to make a choice early in a marriage. You won¡¯t have so much time to slowly choose in the future. ¡± Marriage ... Qi Yan was still talking non-stop, but Chen zuolin didn¡¯t hear a single word. He only heard these four words. At the same time, an elegant figure appeared in his mind. Chen zuolin pursed his lips, but his eyes softened. If it was her, he would probably be willing. It was already afternoon when Chen zuolin replied to joesse¡¯s message. After he had dinner at his house, he picked up his phone in the car and was ted when he saw joesse¡¯s message. He chose to reply at the first moment, waiting anxiously for a message. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Buzz.¡± In the office, the cell phone on the table vibrated, attracting Jossi¡¯s attention. She picked up her phone and saw Chen zuolin¡¯s message. She smiled and made a call without hesitation. Coincidentally, the person on the other end was also waiting for her. Almost in an instant, the call was connected. ¡°Chief Chen.¡± Joes greeted him with a smile. Chen zuolin felt a little happy when he heard that. There were many things that he had to deal with at Hengyuan these days. There were too many things that he had to decide on. As the president, he couldn¡¯t leave. Coupled with his family¡¯s matters, he did not have the time to contact Jossi. Hearing this voice, Chen zuolin¡¯s face softened. He said,¡±¡±Sisi.¡± One addressed him as President Chen, while the other addressed him as sisi. It was obvious at a nce. Joes was slightly taken aback, but she quickly reacted and said jokingly,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re calling me that, it means you treat me as a friend. How about I call you big brother Chen in the future? You won¡¯t reject me, will you?¡± There was a hint of apprehension in her tone, but the fact was that she was smiling. Of course, Joes was joking. The two of them had known each other for more than a year. It was just a change in the way they addressed each other. There was no need to say anything about it. Moreover, Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t wait for her to change the way she addressed him. Calling him President Chen again and again was really a little too distant. If it was big brother Chen, although it didn¡¯t sound right, it was still much better than President Chen. ¡°Of course, you can change your mind.¡± Chen zuolin revealed a rare smile. Joesse recalled that she had not contacted Chen zuolin for the past few days and asked,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, is Hengyuan busy?¡± Chen zuolin paused, but he didn¡¯t hide anything.¡±There are indeed some in the past few days, but it¡¯s not a big problem. The main problem is at home.¡± ¡°Home?¡± Qiao Si was even more confused. Chen zuolin was the CEO of Hengyuan Investment Corporation. Surely his family wouldn¡¯t have any problems. However, this was not necessarily the case. There were many disputes in the wealthy families. This saying was not without reason. People were always blinded by greed. Under such arge family and business, it was even more difficult to predict people¡¯s hearts. However, she was wrong. Chen zuolin quickly exined,¡±My family has been urging me to go ... It¡¯s like going on a blind date, but I don¡¯t want to.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s tone was light, and no emotion could be heard. Joesse could imagine the scene. The usually cold and aloof Chen zuolin was sent to a blind date by his family. His expression probably changed a lot. At the thought of this, joesse could not help but chuckle. Her clear and melodiousughter passed through the phone and entered Chen zuolin¡¯s ears. Herughter was as clear as a silver bell, and it instantly disrupted his thoughts. Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes were gentle, and even his voice was gentler. He said with a faint smile,¡±What are youughing at?¡± ¡°No, no, brother Chen, please don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯m notughing at you!¡± Joes tried to cover it up as she exined. Chen zuolin helplessly shook his head. Whether she wasughing at him or not, he knew it in his heart. However, it was enough to make Jossi happy. Chapter 266

Chapter 266: I won¡¯t spare you

¡°By the way, sisi, did something happen to Xing Yuan recently? Are you alright? Chen zuolin seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turned serious. He had also heard about it, but because he had been at home for the past few days, he found out a littlete. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi had already made his move, so there was no need for him. Chen zuolin regretted beingte. He was also worried that it would affect Joes, so he contacted her immediately. Upon hearing this, Joes shook her head and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, big brother Chen. I¡¯ve already settled this matter. It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s just that someone posted some articles on the inte that ndered me and Xingyuan¡¯s designs. I¡¯ve already taken legal action to resolve it, so don¡¯t worry. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Chen zuolin was slightly relieved. In his heart, he was even more impressed with the person he liked. In just a short year, he had undergone such a huge transformation. His abilities were already much stronger than he had imagined. Even if there was no one behind the scenes promoting it, she could still handle this matter on her own. But ... Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes darkened when he thought of Zheng Zeyi. Thispetitor was not easy to deal with. ¡°Who is the one who ndered you?¡± Upon hearing this question, Joes was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether she should say it or not. ...... Because in almost an instant, she understood the meaning behind it. From Chen zuolin¡¯s attitude, it was possible that he wanted to help, but she could handle it herself, so she didn¡¯t want to trouble him. After making up her mind, Joes said,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, it¡¯s my former family members and Yang Yue Yue from the Yang family. But big brother Chen, Xing Yuan¡¯s strength is also increasing now. I can deal with them myself, you don¡¯t need to do anything. ¡± Since joesse had already said so, Chen zuolin could not say anything more. He nodded his head and agreed. After this matter was over, the topic was also pulled back on track. Which was the matter of buying the building. After organizing her words, joesse said,¡±¡±Brother Chen, there¡¯s one more thing I want to tell you. The scale of Xing Yuan has expanded a lot. The recruitment of employees is also in progress, and three floors may not be enough. If possible, I would like to contact the owner of the building and discuss the purchase. ¡± This was the reason for Joes ¡®visit. She had mentioned it in a message before, so Chen zuolin naturally knew about it. After hearing this, he immediately said,¡±¡±I understand. I¡¯ll give you the contact information of that personter. If you don¡¯t mind, I can be the middleman and meet him with you.¡± Chen zuolin had only met the owner of this building a few times, so he wasn¡¯t very familiar with him. Back then, he had taken a fancy to this ce because of its good location and good view. Since he had chosen to help Joes set up herpany, he had to choose the best ce. So, Chen zuolin spent some effort to find the owner of the building and bought three floors. It was also because this person was not willing to sell more and had to see the situation. Otherwise, he would have bought them all long ago and would not have to go through so much trouble. Jossi had no idea about this matter. After Chen zuolin finished his words, she also said in surprise,¡±Really, brother Chen? If that was the case, it would be for the best. If you¡¯re here, then I¡¯ll have more confidence and confidence!¡± Chen zuolin smiled and didn¡¯t say anything, but his mood was much better. The depression from being asked to go on a blind date had been swept away. He already had someone else in his heart, so how could he bear to be with another woman? Then, the two of them chatted for a while and hung up the phone without saying much. The day was spent dealing with documents. After this public opinion incident, many people had the intention to cooperate with Xing Yuan design. However, they were still waiting to see what would happen. This idea would only be confirmed after the fashion show. Joesse collected the drafts that Lin ya and the others had edited and polished. After sorting them out, she sent them all to President Xu¡¯s ount. After the other side said that there were no problems, star Yuan could start production. The sky was getting dark, and the clock on the wall was already six in the afternoon. It was almost time to get off work. Many of the employees in thepany had already packed up and left, and only a few were still working overtime. In the office, Joes got up and stretched her body. She looked at the signed document and after confirming that there were no problems, she kept it in the folder. He also felt slightly relieved. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the office door. Joes said,e in.¡± Millie, who was standing outside, pushed the door open and entered. He even had a meaningful smile on his face, and no one knew what had happened. Joes raised her eyebrows and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter, Millie? what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°There are!¡± Millie quickly nodded. She eased the expression on her face and continued,¡±¡±It¡¯s like this, President. President Chen from Hengyuan investment just called me and said that he had an appointment with someone tonight. They¡¯re discussing somepany matters and told me to inform you after I get off work. ¡± Upon hearing that, Joes was slightly stunned. Then, she remembered the phone call with Chen zuolin. It seemed that they had indeed talked about buying a building. He didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to be so efficient. In just a few hours, he had already contacted the owner of the building. At the thought of this, Joes could not help but feel a little happy. She then asked,¡±¡±By the way, why didn¡¯t President Chen tell me directly, but asked you to inform me?¡± Miley¡¯s smile became even more ambiguous when she asked the question. She had to admit that her own President was really charming. She made the Presidents of two toppanies fall in love with her. After clearing her throat, Millie exined seriously,¡±¡±President Chen specifically instructed me to do this. He said that you must have been busy at that time. He specifically told me not to disturb you for the time being. That¡¯s why I¡¯ve waited until now to tell the president about this. ¡± The office fell silent for a moment. Joesse pursed her lips, but her thoughts were a littleplicated. She did not know that Chen zuolin had actually thought about it in such detail. It couldn¡¯t be...That the rumors outside were true, right? After hesitating for a long time, Joes let out a sigh of relief and said,¡±¡±Miley, don¡¯t tell anyone else. President Chen and I are just friends. After all, we¡¯ve known each other for such a long time, so you should be concerned about me. If you say anything, I won¡¯t forgive you. ¡± At the end of her sentence, her eyes turned sharp. If this matter were to spread, then the public opinion on the inte from before might be used by people with ulterior motives. Chapter 267

Chapter 267: It¡¯s not as simple as you think

Previously, the rumors online were that Jossi had been kept as a mistress and had relied on her position to get the president position. In reality, she had relied on her own efforts. Not only did Chen zuolin like her, but he also fancied joesse¡¯s ability. Now, it seemed like he had made the right choice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President. I won¡¯t tell anyone. I¡¯ll let you reply to President Chen.¡± Millie said confidently. Even though joesse¡¯s tone was harsh, she was not afraid. After spending some time with her, Miley understood that her President was very generous to his friends. Besides, she wasn¡¯t a fool. Why would she spread this kind of thing? ¡°Okay, I know. It¡¯s time to get off work. Why aren¡¯t you going home?¡± Joes raised her eyes and nced at Millie. Hearing that, Miley blinked her eyes and said,¡¯isn¡¯t the president leaving too? Why don¡¯t we go down together?¡± ...¡±That¡¯s fine.¡± Joesse nodded. After she packed her things, she took her bag and phone and left the president¡¯s office, heading downstairs. In Xing Yuan design, everyone knew that the president was easy to talk to in private, but when it came to work, he would not show mercy. Therefore, outside of working hours, thepany¡¯s atmosphere was joyous and harmonious, and everyone got along very well. ...... Lin ya was one of the reasons. Even so, the employees would not ck off at work. Looking at the vibrant star dors, joesse was touched. When the two of them arrived at the lobby on the first floor, they found that Lin ya and some of their colleagues from the design department had not left. Their eyes lit up when they saw Joes and Millie. Lin ya waved her hand with a bright smile on her face.¡±¡±Sisi!¡± Upon seeing this, joesse smiled as well. She quickened her pace and quickly arrived beside the crowd. She nced at her colleagues and seemed to be going out for a meal. ¡°Little ya, are you guys going out for dinner?¡± Even though Joes had only called out one name, she was actually asking everyone. Lin ya quickly nodded.¡±Yes. Recently, a new hot pot restaurant opened on Linfeng road in the city center. We¡¯re going to try it out.¡± At this point, she paused and revealed a naughty smile.¡±So, sisi, do you want toe with us?¡± ¡°Me?¡± Joes pointed at herself in surprise, but she quickly calmed down and felt rather helpless. ¡°I might not be able to make it today. I have a dinner appointment with President Chenter. I have something to discuss.¡± ¡°President Chen?¡± Lin ya didn¡¯t know how to react. A colleague from the design department beside him thought for a moment and reminded,¡±¡±The president is probably talking about President Chen from Hengyuan.¡± There were many people with the surname Chen in the industry, but this was the most famous one. Hengyuan investment, which was under his name, was almost on par with the Zheng Corporation. However, there was still a slight difference. The Zheng Corporation had been around for a long time. In terms of Foundation, it was still slightly stronger than Hengyuan investment. As for the CEO of the twopanies, no one knew which one was more capable. This matter couldn¡¯t be discussed too excessively. If he really offended one of the two, his future days wouldn¡¯t be good. Seeing the change in everyone¡¯s expressions, Joes had an ominous premonition and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t get the wrong idea. I have something important to discuss with President Chen this time.¡± ¡°The president is right,¡± Miley said.¡±We¡¯re looking for President Chen to expand the scale of star dors. Don¡¯t spread this kind of news.¡± She cleverly used the words that Joes had said to herself on everyone else. With that said, everyone¡¯s expression returned to normal. ¡°I see ... I knew that sisi was master Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Sisi, be careful on the road. We¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± Lin ya was all smiles. After greeting each other, Lin ya pulled Miley along, and the group left star essence Corporation, chatting andughing. It was probably because of this person who wanted the world to be in chaos, or as Lin ya had said, that everyone in the design department had acquiesced to the fact that Qiao sisi and Zheng ze were together. This was the first time he had heard of chief Chen, and that was why he was so shocked. Looking at everyone¡¯s back view as they left, joesse could not help but hold her forehead, feeling a little helpless. ¡°Why is she Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e again? it¡¯s getting weirder and weirder,¡± she mumbled softly. She and Zheng Zeyi had some signs of getting married, but the matter of them being fianc¨¦e had not been made public and had not been spread out. It was impossible for the effects from a year ago to still be present. Joes sighed and suppressed all her thoughts. She then walked towards the car park. It was better to deal with this building first. As for the other messy things, they could wait untilter. On one side, Jossi was rushing to the restaurant where they were having their meal, while on the other side, the Yang family was in a state of chaos. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pressure was not in vain. The Yang family¡¯s business took a nosedive. The other businesses of thepany had been suppressed to the point where they could not even lift their heads. Only Jiali hotel was still in a better state. It was just a little better and could barely work. Father yang looked at Yang Yue Yue in front of him with a resentful expression. He pointed at her and said,¡±¡±Do you know what you¡¯ve done to the Yang family?¡± Yang Yue Yue lowered her head slightly. She had always been proud, but in front of her parents who provided her with food, clothes, and amodation, she could not be too arrogant. It was all because of Joes! Yang Yue Yue clenched her fists and epted her father¡¯s scolding. After a long time, her scolding finally quieted down. ¡°The Yang family¡¯s business has taken a nosedive. Those partners are asking us for a refund, do you know that?!¡± Father yang mmed his palm on the table in anger. There was a loud ¡°bang¡± sound. Even Yang Yue Yue shuddered. She lowered her head and said,¡±¡±Dad ... I know I¡¯m wrong. I¡¯ll do my best to make up for it.¡± ¡°Redeem? What are you going to use to redeem yourself? I don¡¯t know who is targeting our Yang family behind the scenes, detestable!¡± Father yang was furious. However, Yang Yue Yue raised her head and said solemnly,¡±¡±Dad, I¡¯ll talk to cousin. At least he has some connections. He won¡¯t give up on the Yang family just like that.¡± At the mention of Zheng Zeyi, father Yang¡¯s expression softened a little. If it were not for the fact that many people in the business world were wary of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s power, they would not have given him enough face in many coborations. Father yang frowned and asked,¡±are you confident that you can make Zheng Zeyi agree?¡± It¡¯s not as easy as you think to convince him. ¡± After all, he had been in the business world for so many years. Father yang still knew this. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression turned ugly, but her eyes were firm. Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 268-change to eat

She clenched her fists and said seriously,¡±¡±I¡¯m still his cousin. Don¡¯t worry, dad. I¡¯ll try to convince him.¡± Now that things hade to this, this was the only way. No matter what, she was still his daughter. Father yang didn¡¯t say anything more. He waved his hand and said,¡±You may leave.¡± ¡°Alright ...¡± Yang Yue Yue pursed her lips and turned to leave. At that moment, her expression changed and became somewhat distorted. The moment she thought about how this matter had started because of Joes, she could not take this lying down! The Yang family¡¯s Vi was very quiet. Yang Yue Yue did not say a word and stood by the window to rest for a while. ¡°Jossi, I will definitely make you pay the price!¡± He muttered softly, but it carried a hatred that was hard to ignore. Just as Yang Yue Yue was about to leave, the vi¡¯s nanny suddenly walked over with a troubled expression.¡±¡±Miss, there¡¯s someone outside looking for you,¡± ¡°Looking for me?¡± She furrowed her brows and asked a few more questions. She then learned from the housekeeper that a family had arrived outside the vi. Just by hearing this, she knew that the people who hade were most likely Liu Yun¡¯s family. ...... ¡°What a joke. Things have been messed up. It¡¯s already good enough that I didn¡¯t go to them, but they actually dare toe to me.¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face was filled with viciousness. She sneered and quickly walked towards the door. The nanny didn¡¯t dare to follow, so she could only watch from a distance. Yang Yue Yue had just arrived downstairs when she saw a group of people at the entrance. As expected, it was indeed Liu Yun and her group. It was really beyond her imagination. He even got the address of the Yang family¡¯s Vi! Yang Yue Yue raised her chin and walked over arrogantly. The crisp sound of her high heels stepping on the floor tiles also attracted everyone¡¯s attention. At the entrance. ¡°Mom, dad, that woman ising!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er immediately noticed Yang Yue Yue¡¯s figure and quickly turned to inform Liu Yun and the others. When they heard this, the three of them also turned their gazes to the person in front of them. Yang Yue Yue didn¡¯t care at all. She looked at them as if they were ants, and each step she took was like stepping on their hearts. It did not take long for them to arrive in front of Liu Yun and the others, forming a confrontation. ¡°What for?¡± Yang Yue Yue said disdainfully as she crossed her arms. Liu Yun wanted Qiao Feng to say something, but he signaled her with his eyes, so she could only say it unwillingly. ¡°Miss yang, this is our first time in city h and we don¡¯t know where this ce is. I wonder if miss Yang can provide us with a ce to stay. Furthermore, we have actually lost quite a sum of money in dealing with Jossi this time. If it is possible, I hope that miss Yang can ... Help us make up for it. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Liu Yunughed awkwardly. Yang Yue Yue was the Yang family¡¯s young miss and had the ability to be arrogant. However, she had no background and no money. When they stood together, she was still suppressed. As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Yang Yue Yue sneered,¡±¡±You guys really have the guts toe to me. If it wasn¡¯t for your ipetence, how could things have turned out like this? You still dare to ask me for money? believe it or not, I¡¯ll get the security guards to kick you out in the next second! Get lost!¡± Even Liu Yun and the others ¡®faces darkened at his furious roar. ¡°Miss yang, you can¡¯t say that. We didn¡¯t know that the recording was ced in the hotel room.¡± Qiao Feng said with a cold face, Liu Yun took the opportunity to take out her phone. ¡°It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have your secret. If you don¡¯t want to expose it, show us what we want!¡± After saying that, she pressed the y button on the screen. The recording inside was yed. It just so happened that the surroundings were quiet, and the sound inside was extremely clear. It was a recording of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s conversation with someone. After hearing this, her face instantly turned ugly, and she said in a sharp voice,¡±¡±How did you get this recording?¡± Her tone was filled with disbelief. She was clearly conversing in secret with that person, so how could they have been discovered? Could it be ... That this woman had done something? Facing Yang Yue Yue¡¯s ugly expression, Liu Yun was not afraid. Instead, she threatened,¡±¡±Now you know I¡¯m right, we have something on you. If you don¡¯t give us what we want, I can¡¯t guarantee that it won¡¯t end up in joesse¡¯s hands. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Qiao Feng was also a little proud and agreed. A momentter, Yang Yue Yue opened her mouth,¡±¡±Are you threatening me?¡± However, he had to admit that it was a sess. This recording could not be leaked. Otherwise, the Yang family would really be finished! As long as it wasn¡¯t because of the content of the recording, but because of the person she was talking to in the recording! Seeing that yang Yueyue was panicking, Zhao Hai ¡®er continued,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you understand what my mom said? We just need to get what we want and leave. If you had given it to us, wouldn¡¯t there have been no trouble? We won¡¯t leak the recording either. ¡± Of course, he had to keep such a good piece of evidence for a while longer. The atmosphere was a little strange, and Yang Yue Yue was no longer as arrogant as before. She fell silent and only spoke after a long time,¡±¡±I promise you that I can prepare a ce to stay.¡± Just as Liu Yun and the others were about to celebrate, she added,¡±But ... Everything is up to me. I can still give you another 20000 Yuan. The premise is that the recording can¡¯t be leaked. Otherwise, we¡¯ll fight to the death!¡± Yang Yue Yue gritted her teeth as she finished her sentence. She felt as if she was going to die with him. Liu Yun and the others also knew when to stop, and they all revealed ttering smiles. Where was the threatening look they had just now? They followed Yang Yue Yue and left the Yang family vi. They were also arranged with their amodation and twenty thousand Yuan. It was not cooperation, but ckmail. If it were Yang Yue Yue herself, she probably would not have thought that she would be threatened by these few pieces of trash. Once she solved the recording issue, she would make everyone pay for what they did. Yang Yue Yue thought to herself as she led the way. Her eyes were filled with hatred that was about to burst out. ¡­¡­¡­ Qiao si si had no idea about the chaos and turmoil that was happening on the Yang family¡¯s side. If he knew, he would probably only sigh and say that the wicked would be tortured by the wicked. She was on her way to the restaurant. After several traffic lights, she arrived at her destination in about seven or eight minutes. She looked up and saw that it was also a high-end restaurant. City h was more prosperous, and there was nock of buildings like restaurants. In addition, there were also many business big shots. There were several high-end restaurants in the city center, and they were basically all here to eat. It was also joesse¡¯s first time at this restaurant, and she was filled with a sense of novelty. After parking the car, she entered the restaurant. Chapter 269

Chapter 269: The price of 100 million

Unlike the other restaurants in city h, this one had an ancient design. The interior design was antique, and even the waitresses were dressed in ancient costumes, making them look even more handsome. It was extremely pleasing to the eye. If he didn¡¯t know that this was a modern restaurant, he would have really thought that he had traveled back in time. ¡°It¡¯s much better than I thought ...¡± Joes thought to herself. She had fallen in love with this restaurant almost immediately. She had always liked this kind of design style, and the restaurant was rich and willing to put in the effort, so it was extremely exquisite at first nce. After that, Joes looked at her modern clothes and suddenly felt that she did not fit in with the restaurant. ¡°Good day, youngdy.¡± A waiter who was passing by greeted her with a smile. She was wearing a long ancient dress and left with the dishes. Upon hearing this form of address, joesse was slightly taken aback. She immediately reacted and revealed a faint smile. She didn¡¯t waste any more time. She took out her phone and sent Chen zuolin a text message. Soon, she received a string of text messages. That was the private room number of the restaurant. ...... ¡± 1314. This should be the ce.¡± Joes followed the number on the phone and quickly found the corresponding room number. There was a Golden te hanging on the door in front of him, and it read 1314. Without any hesitation, joesse pushed the door open and saw Chen zuolin sitting in the middle. He was wearing a formal suit and his handsome face was even more eye-catching under the soft light of the room. Fortunately, Jossi had seen her fair share of handsome men and quickly reacted. She smiled and greeted,¡±¡±Big brother Chen.¡± After saying that, she closed the door and sat down next to Chen zuolin. ¡°Sisi.¡± Chen zuolin smiled faintly. There were a total of four seats in the private room, and Jossi had originally thought that only the owner of the building woulde. But now, it didn¡¯t seem to be so. Even though she was thinking this, Joes asked,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, will there be two peopleing to discuss business with uster?¡± Chen zuolin nodded slightly,¡±If I¡¯m not wrong, it should be like this.¡± He had received the message from that person at thest minute, which was why he had not removed the fourth chair. There were still a few minutes before the appointed time. There was no clock in the private room, but there was a beautiful hourss. ¡°The time isn¡¯t up yet, let¡¯s wait a little longer. By the way, big brother Chen, did that person give you a rough price?¡± Joes thought of the most important thing. Xing Yuan was not short of money now, but he could not squander all his reserve funds. There were still a lot of ces where money would be needed to expand the scale, not to mention preparing some cooperation projects. When the star essence was more mature and he could make money with money, he would not need to be so cautious. ¡°As for the price, the other party said to discuss it in person.¡± Chen zuolin said. Although that was what he said, anyone who owned such a building, as long as they were smart, would not cut off their own path. When he bought the three-story building, the price he offered was quite fair. ¡°I see, then thank you, big brother Chen.¡± Joes smiled brightly. Hearing this, Chen zuolin¡¯s expression became much gentler. He secretly nced at the person beside him and whispered,¡±¡±You¡¯re wee,¡± After that, joesse and Chen zuolin waited in the private room for a while. Even after the dishes were served, no one came. The food was steaming, and it was very appetizing. Even though she was enticed, Joes did not pick up her chopsticks. Instead, she waited for the Big Shot to arrive. Otherwise, it would be impolite no matter what. After a long time, Joes furrowed her brows and thought,¡±¡±Why is no one here yet? Are they noting?¡± It was only when she thought no one woulde in that she heard some movement from the door. Crack ... Crack ... A soft sound was heard. Joes¡¯s eyes moved and her gaze fell on the curved door handle. Chen zuolin¡¯s attention was also attracted. He squinted his eyes, and there was an unclear light in his eyes. As expected, the door was opened the next moment. The person who pushed the door open was a man in gray casual wear with his hands in his pants. He had a slender figure, and Joes was sitting. At first nce, he had to lift his head slightly to see her face clearly. When she saw that face, she was stunned. Her exquisite and perfect face, the slight movement of her thin lips, and the deep look in her eyes were something that joesse would never forget in her entire life. This ... Was too familiar! Joes was stunned on the spot and muttered in disbelief,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing here?!¡± That¡¯s right, the person standing at the door was Zheng Zeyi, who was dressed in casual clothes. He was smiling at the moment. He walked straight to the seat beside joesse and ignored Chen zuolin¡¯s slightly hostile gaze. His smile deepened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you curious why I¡¯m here?¡± Zheng Zeyi said yfully. Of course I¡¯m curious! Joes blinked her eyes and cursed in her heart. However, she did not say it out loud and even had a shocked expression on her face. However, she really did not expect that the so-called owner of the building was Zheng Zeyi. Did Chen zuolin know about this? Thinking up to this point, joesse shot a nce at Chen zuolin, who was standing beside her. From his ugly expression, she could more or less guess the oue. He probably did not know about this either. He just did not know why the owner of the building had changed from someone else to Zheng Zeyi. Behind him, assistant li also followed him in silently, but he did not attract the attention of the three people in front of him. He stood quietly near the door, not saying a word, quietly watching his CEO Chat with the two. In their hearts, they were also cursing madly. ¡°Is the president crazy? To stop President Qiao from being alone with President Chen, he bought this building in advance!¡± That was what Zheng Zeyi did. After he heard about this, he contacted the owner of the building as soon as possible. It was a partner of the Zheng Corporation. Initially, he was not going to sell it. However, he still owed Zheng Zeyi a favor, so hepromised in the end. However, the price wasn¡¯t low either. Such a building had already reached a price close to 100 million. If it wasn¡¯t for the Zheng¡¯s Financial group¡¯s influence and wealth, the 100 million Yuan would have emptied thepany. As the president, Zheng Zeyi had the capital to do whatever he wanted to do. It was precisely because of this that Zheng lihan and his son tried to fight for thepany¡¯s inheritance. They did not care how much Zheng Zeyi had done in thepany. All they wanted was thepany. Assistant li sighed at how his President was troubled by love and stood by the side to give him his inner support. Chapter 270 - What price are you prepared to offer?

Chapter 270: What price are you prepared to offer?

Chen zuolin furrowed his brows and looked at Zheng Zeyi, who had just walked in. A sh of shock appeared in his eyes. At the same time, his face darkened. ¡°The owner of that building seems to be rted to this President Zheng.¡± Almost instantly, Chen zuolin figured out the connection between the two events, and his expression eased a little. However, he still felt a little ufortable as he watched Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s conversation. After a while, Qiao sisi finally figured out the situation. Zheng Zeyi was indeed the owner of that building. ¡°Big brother Chen, you didn¡¯t make a deal with President Zheng before, did you? How did that building end up in President Zheng¡¯s hands?¡± Joes asked the question that was on her mind. Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air became tense. ¡°I¡¯d like to ask President Zheng about this, and you should be able to get an answer,¡±he said slowly. Chen zuolin kicked the ball into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands. Of course, he knew this person¡¯s purpose. It was only because he saw that Joes needed help that he thought of a way to buy the building. However ... It was undeniable that the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group had some power. The ce that the original owner of the building was determined not to sell had been sold to him. Qiao si turned to look at Zheng Zeyi, her eyes filled with curiosity. ...... Zheng Zeyi said generously and without any guilt,¡±¡±The original owner of the building happened to have a partnership with the Zheng Corporation. He was short on funds, so he used this building as a mortgage.¡± When assistant li saw this, he quickly nodded and said in agreement,¡±¡±President Zheng is right, that¡¯s indeed the case.¡± The two of them echoed each other, which was quite convincing. ¡°I see ...¡± Jossi nodded in understanding, but a smile appeared on her face. This excuse did not sound like it had any loopholes, but she just felt that it was a little clumsy. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reason for buying the building might be very important, but since he was not willing to tell her, she did not probe further. After that, the few of them focused on the buying of the building. This was also the main reason why joesse hade here. The location of this building was indeed very good. Otherwise, she would not have decided so quickly that Xingyuan design would be developed here in the future. Sisi, if you want to buy this building, why don¡¯t you just tell me and I¡¯ll give it to you?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a charming smile as he picked up the chopsticks on the table. The dishes were exquisite. He casually picked up a piece of fruit and chewed it in his mouth, his every move revealing elegance. Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes darkened when he heard the name that came out of his mouth. For a moment, the atmosphere was strange. Even joesse noticed it and the smile on her face froze for a moment. Assistant li did not even dare to breathe. When these two CEOs stood together, there was an inexplicable special effect. After calming down, Joes furrowed her brows and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, what do you mean by that? since I¡¯m interested in buying, there¡¯s naturally a set of procedures. As for the gift you mentioned, forget it. After all, this building and thend are worth a lot, and I can¡¯t let you suffer a loss. ¡± With that, Qiao sisi broke into a smile and gave Zheng Zeyi a look. After all, they were in public, so even she was a little embarrassed to say such ambiguous words. Not to mention that Chen zuolin was beside her. This time, assistant li was really just there to serve as a foil. He watched from the side and couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Zheng Zeyi raised his brows but did not refute. Chen zuolin nced at joesse, then retracted his gaze and tapped the edge of the table. A momentter, a low voice sounded,¡±¡±Sisi is right. If President Zheng really wants to sell it, we can have a good talk.¡± Si si ... This title seemed to have ignited a fuse. The two people¡¯s gazes met in the air, and the atmosphere of confrontation was very strong. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and put down his chopsticks.¡±¡±It seems like President Chen and President Qiao are really close. They¡¯re even calling each other that.¡± ¡°I¡¯m friends with her. ¡± Chen zuolin said indifferently. They had known each other for a year. Even if they were friends, he felt that their progress was too slow. ¡°Oh ... So you¡¯re friends.¡± At the end of this sentence, Zheng Zeyi purposely dragged out thest syble, and his tone was slightly higher. It carried a sense of danger. A chill ran down joesse¡¯s spine when she heard that, and she felt even more regret. If she had known that Zheng Zeyi would be the one toe in the end, she would not have been so anxious to ask Chen zuolin for help. Looking at the situation now, things had already gotten out of hand. These two people probably had some enmity in their past lives, and they became like this the moment they met! Joes¡¯s heart was filled with grief and indignation. After realizing that something was wrong, she calmed down and decided to be the peacemaker. ¡°Big brother Chen, President Zheng, we¡¯re all business partners and friends,¡± she said with a smile. After she said that, the two of them fell silent and turned their eyes to her. If not for the fact that Joes was already familiar with these two people, she might have been stunned by their terrifying aura. ¡°Sisi is right.¡± Chen zuolin lowered his eyes, picked up the bright ss, and took a sip of the clear liquid. Zheng Zeyi did not back down either. After he finished his drink, he gently swirled the liquid in the ss with elegant movements, but his gaze was fixed on Qiao si. It had been more than ten minutes since he entered the private room. He said that he was here to discuss business, but up until now, he had not said anything useful. Joes held her forehead helplessly. It seemed like she had no choice but to let her speak. She cleared her throat and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s like this, President Zheng. The Xing Yuan under my name is currently expanding. Originally, I only bought the right to use three floors of the building. But now that the scale has been expanded, three floors are obviously not enough. So I want to ask President Zheng if you have any intention of selling this building?¡± ¡°Regarding the price, President Zheng can rest assured,¡± she added.¡±I will definitely not treat you shabbily with star dors!¡± After saying that, Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation, like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly. She stared at Zheng Zeyi, his reflection in her eyes. Just one look was enough to intoxicate one¡¯s heart. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bad mood was swept away, and his face instantly became cheerful, and his smile deepened. Not long after, he gave an answer. ¡°Since President Qiao has said so, I can¡¯t refuse. I don¡¯t have much use for that building, so it¡¯s fine to give you star dors. I just don¡¯t know ... How much President Qiao is willing to pay for it?¡± Chapter 271

Chapter 271: We¡¯ll be waiting for you here

Zheng ze swirled his wine ss as he spoke yfully. His words caught Chen zuolin¡¯s attention, and he frowned slightly. He could not help but feel curious. Since they had the same goal, why did they not sell the building to Joes at a low price? With such a turn of events, if Joes were to bid on her own, she would definitely be able to maintain a suitable price. Chen zuolin had some doubts about this, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason. On the other hand, after listening to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, joesse was seriously considering the cost-performance ratio. The location of this building was extremely good, and it would cost a lot of money to buy all of it. However, this was not a big problem. Qiao si si could discuss with Zheng ze about paying in installments, and the rest of the money would be used for thepany¡¯s turnover. He was a major shareholder of thepany, and the 100 million Yuan He had invested in thepany came in handy now. Joes was deep in thought. Chen zuolin wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words after seeing her expression. Zheng Zeyi stared at her without hiding anything. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he smiled handsomely. After a moment, Joes, who had made up her mind, raised her head slightly and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I can give you a total of 70 million Yuan for that building. ...... I¡¯ll give you 50 million Yuan for now, and I¡¯ll give you the remaining 20 million Yuan after thepany has stabilized. How about it?¡± After saying that, Joes felt a little nervous. Even though she felt that Zheng Zeyi would not reject her, she was still a little worried when she actually asked him. Fortunately, her thinking was not wrong. After reporting the price, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile and even ced the wine ss on the table. ¡°It seems like President Qiao is a reasonable person,¡± assistant li thought, satisfied. When Zheng Zeyi wanted to help and bought this building, he had spent more than this price. After all, if the owner of the building did not owe Zheng ze a favor, he would not have wanted to sell the building. ¡°Of course,¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a smile after a long while.¡±I¡¯ll ept whatever price you offer.¡± After hearing this, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Thank you, President Zheng.¡± She revealed a faint smile, which was even more dazzling under the soft light. Seeing this, Chen zuolin¡¯s surrounding air pressure dropped even more, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face. After settling the price, the most important thing was the contract. Jossi turned to look at assistant li and asked politely,¡±¡±Assistant Li, I wonder if you¡¯ve drafted the contract yet? If you don¡¯t have it, there¡¯s no need to worry. After I¡¯ve drafted it tomorrow, I¡¯ll go to the Zheng Corporation to look for President Zheng. How about it?¡± The purchase of the building could not be dyed. She still had to attend a fashion show in a few days, so she had to settle this matter as soon as possible. Assistant li was a little overwhelmed by the look in Joss¡¯s eyes. He quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao. The Zheng Corporation is interested in working with Xing Yuan. We have already prepared the contract before we came.¡± Then, he took out the contract from his briefcase and ced it on the table. The first page had the words ¡°transfer agreement¡± written on it. Joes¡¯s eyes lit up instantly and she could not help but feel a little happy. Things were going much smoother than she had imagined. Zheng Zeyi, who was sitting next to her, had a devilish smile on his face. He looked at his future wife¡¯s expression with interest, as if she was a treasure. He had not bought this building in vain. Its greatest value was to make Joes happy. ¡°It seems like President Zheng is really easy to talk to.¡± Chen zuolin raised his brows and picked up the wine ss on the table. He seemed to have the intention to clink sses with Zheng ze. Zheng Zeyi smiled and picked up his ss without hesitation. The two cups collided in the air, making a crisp sound. Jossi noticed the two of them were at loggerheads, but she did not say anything. Both of them were CEOs ofrgepanies. They were already in apetitive rtionship, so it was expected that things would develop this way. ¡°You two are my lucky stars.¡± Trying to ease the awkwardness, Joes also poured herself a ss of wine. Just as she was about to finish it in one gulp, her fair wrist was grabbed. She lifted her eyes slightly and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face came into her sight. Chen zuolin, who was standing on the side, retracted his hand in disappointment and concealed the emotions in his eyes. ¡°You have to drive back tonight, so don¡¯t drink.¡± Zheng Zeyi frowned and said solemnly. He was right, drunk driving was not feasible. At the thought of this, Jossiughed in embarrassment. She put down the ss in her hand and changed it to a ss of fragrant milk. ¡°Since I can¡¯t drink, I¡¯ll just drink milk,¡± she said.¡±Thank you for your concern, President Zheng.¡± After saying that, Jossi drank half of the milk in the nket in one go. The sweet and fragrant taste filled her taste buds. It lifted everyone¡¯s mood. Zheng Zeyi smiled and nced at Chen zuolin with a devilish look. He smiled and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re too polite. ¡± After that, Joes asked many questions about the details of the contract. There was no other reason. This contract also provided Xing Yuan with a lot of convenience, and Zheng Zeyi did not set a time limit for the so-called installment payment. Logically speaking, businessmen were profit-seeking, so he should not have let go of this loophole. However, Joes also understood why he did that. She showed a grateful expression on her face, but in her heart, she wanted to return the money as soon as possible. In the end. ¡°Since we¡¯re almost done with the discussion and it¡¯s gettingte, why don¡¯t we all go back first?¡± Chen zuolin asked. It was already six or Seveno¡¯ clock in the evening, and the sky outside had darkened. The streetlights were already illuminating the entire road. If they were anyter, it would probably be night. When that time came, it would be a little unsafe for a girl like joesse. Zheng Zeyi thought the same. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. The ringtone wasing from joesse¡¯s phone. In the quiet room, it was extremely crisp. She was slightly taken aback as she picked up her phone. When she saw President Xu¡¯s name on the screen, her gaze became profound. If there was nothing important, President Xu would not look for her at this time. Then ... The most likely possibility was that the draft he sentst time had alreadye to a conclusion, so he came back to contact her. This was also Xing Yuan¡¯s top priority. At this thought, Jossi stood up and said apologetically,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, there¡¯s an important call. I¡¯ll go out and answer it. ¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded.¡±Go, we¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Not without a reason

¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you toe back.¡± This time, it was Chen zuolin who spoke. Assistant li, who had the least sense of presence, resolutely treated himself as an invisible person in the room and continued to remain silent. He didn¡¯t dare to say anything. If the president saw this, he might skin him alive. Joes expressed her gratitude for their understanding. After getting an answer, she picked up the phone and walked out of the room. ¡°Hello, is this boss Xu?¡± A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.¡±¡±That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯m disturbing President Qiao by calling you.¡± ¡°Of course not,¡± Joes said with a smile.¡±I wonder why Boss Xu is calling me this time?¡± Her voice trailed off as she walked further and further away, leaving only the three of them in the room. Assistant Li¡¯s existence was not important. To be precise, it could be said that the existence and confrontation between the two people were important. After Qiao si left, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes instantly turned cold. His knuckles rapped on the table rhythmically. It was as if he was in control of the overall situation and nning strategies. Chen zuolin nced at Zheng Zeyi indifferently. He took a sip of the clear liquid in his cup and spoke in a low and hoarse voice. ¡°Stay away from her.¡± ...... This sentence instantly became the fuse, and even assistant li began to tremble. President Chen ... You¡¯re being too obvious. It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. I feel like things are going to be a mess. As he thought about it, his expression was a little flustered. Fortunately, the two people present were not paying attention to him. As soon as Zheng ze heard this, heughed as if he had heard a joke.¡±¡±I don¡¯t seem to understand what you¡¯re saying, President Chen. Are you talking about sisi or who?¡± Towards the end, he raised his tone, with a hint of teasing and nonchnce. ¡°You should know what I¡¯m talking about,¡± Chen zuolin pursed his lips. Crack ... Crack ... A soft sound was heard, but Zheng Zeyi did not care. He smiled and said,¡±¡±What are you saying, Mr. Chen? sisi is my fianc¨¦e. Since I¡¯ve already said this, President Chen should be able to understand what I mean, right?¡± Fianc¨¦? As expected, Chen zuolin¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly when he heard these three words. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know how to reply. He didn¡¯t pay much attention to this kind of thing. Plus, this matter hadn¡¯t been promoted yet, so it was normal that he didn¡¯t know. ¡°The fianc¨¦e you¡¯re talking about ...¡± Without waiting for Chen zuolin to finish his question, Zheng Zeyi said in advance,¡±This matter will probably be announced soon. I should be the one saying that to President Chen. Stay away from sisi. She has a fianc¨¦ after all. Xiao Li, don¡¯t you think so?¡± In the end, the topic was brought up to assistant li. When he heard this, assistant li was a little dumbfounded. He couldn¡¯t even react in time. Why did he suddenly have to answer? However, assistant li didn¡¯t dare to dy. He swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice,¡±¡±I think what the president said ... Makes sense.¡± Of course, he was working at the Zheng Corporation. How could he not have a reason? Zheng Zeyi sneered and nced at Chen zuolin out of the corner of his eye.¡±¡±President Chen, did you hear me clearly?¡± Chen zuolin stared at him, holding the wine ss in his hand, and the blue veins on it could be seen faintly. The two sides confronted each other, and sparks flew as they rubbed against each other. Chen zuolin squinted his eyes. After hearing this, he didn¡¯t say anything and just drank alone. Zheng Zeyiughed and did not seem to mind. The two of them acted as if nothing had happened and returned to their original state. Before joesse returned, this quiet atmosphere would probably not be broken. Initially, the two of them maintained a polite attitude in their cooperative rtionship. However, things were different now. When it came to Joes, no matter which side it was, they would notpromise. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, on the restaurant¡¯s walkway. Qiao si si had no idea what was going on in the room. She was focused on her phone call and discussing the design drafts with President Xu. ¡°President Qiao, I have good news for you. There are no problems with the design drafts. If possible, Xing Yuan can start production now. When the fashion show starts, the invitation will be sent to star Yuanpany on time. President Qiao, please remember to attend. ¡± President Xu¡¯s expectations were very pleasant. It seemed that the fashion show business was going very smoothly. There was a problem with the original venue, and now that it was changed, it was more suitable. Upon hearing this, Qiao si could not help but smile. She was naturally happy about the design drafts that President Xu had mentioned. The design draft had been approved, so there were no other problems. Xingyuan had already hired a professional to handle the production, so there would definitely be no mistakes. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss Xu. It¡¯s my honor to be able to participate. I still have to thank you for your help.¡± Joesughed. ¡°And President Qiao, the partners have unanimously approved of your design drafts. This series is very suitable for the theme of this fashion show!¡± President Xuplimented. At the same time, he was extremely satisfied with this cooperation. It was indeed the right choice to work with Joes. ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Joes was grateful to Anna Chen in her heart. If not for her bad friend, it would have been difficult for her to be so close. This time, President Xu had called because of the fashion show. After it was resolved, he did not dy any further. ¡°Since I¡¯ve said what I need to say, I won¡¯t disturb President Qiao¡¯s time anymore. Let¡¯s get together again next time.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Joes replied readily. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, President Xu suddenly remembered something. ¡°When the jewelry ispleted, President Qiao will contact me. I will send someone to collect it from Xing Yuan design,¡± he said. It was best to put time on the schedule as the time until the fashion show was gradually shortening. If it was before, it wouldn¡¯t matter if it was slower, but now it wasn¡¯t possible. Joes understood the importance of this matter and nodded.¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll send it to the Xupany personally.¡± ¡°Personally?¡± President Xu repeated this sentence in surprise, but after a moment, he reacted andughed. ¡°President Xu is the first person to approach me for cooperation. Naturally, I have to show my sincerity. It¡¯s not an ordinary item, so it¡¯s better for me to send it over.¡± Joes said with a smile. Since she had already said so, President Xu had no reason to refuse, so he immediately agreed. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have to trouble President Qiao!¡± ¡°President Xu, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Her eyes sparkled as she began to look forward to the fashion show. There was a reason for Joes ¡®decision to personally deliver the jewelry. Chapter 273 - There will be a chance next time

Chapter 273: There will be a chance next time

No one could say for sure about the business world. Who knew if there were people with evil intentions behind the scenes? If this kind of person found an opportunity, it was uncertain whether this precious set of jewelry could be sent to President Xu¡¯spany. This was a cooperation between the two sides. As long as there was a problem with the jewelry, it would affect thepany¡¯s reputation in the industry, regardless of whether it was rted to Xing Yuan design or not. Hence, to be safe, Jossi decided that it would be better for her to deliver it herself. It would only waste a little time anyway. After greeting President Xu, Jossi said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll see you in a few days, boss Xu.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The two hung up at the same time, both very satisfied with this business partner. There were not many people in the corridor. Joes¡¯s expression calmed down, and she kept her phone in her pocket before returning to the room. The moment she returned, she noticed the silence in the air. ¡°What¡¯s ... Wrong with you guys?¡± Qiao si si blinked her eyes. Not long after she finished speaking, someone answered her. It was Zheng Zeyi. He raised the ss in his hand and the empty bottle beside him, all showing what had just happened. ...... ¡°I regretted not meeting President Chen earlier, so we¡¯re drinking now.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and elegantly took a sip of the red wine in his ss. In fact, he hadn¡¯t drunk much just now. On the other hand, Chen zuolin had drunk a lot after hearing about the fianc¨¦ and fianc¨¦e. However, his expression was still dark, and he could not tell what was going on. Even though he was not sure if this was true or not, he hade into contact with Joes a year ago and knew about it. After a year, it was not impossible for the two of them to get back together. Chen zuolin¡¯s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and even the way he looked at joesse wasplicated. He forced a smile and said,¡±¡±President Zheng is right. We do have simr interests, so we drank a little more.¡± There were only four or five bottles of wine on the table. ¡°Please reading on newnovel.org¡± Moreover, Chen zuolin¡¯s face didn¡¯t turn red at all after drinking so much. It was as if he was drinking water. Joesse was not too sure about what had just happened. Seeing that the two of them had already drunk so much, the corners of his mouth twitched and he made a decision. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Why don¡¯t President Zheng and President Chen go back first? If there¡¯s a drinking session next time, let¡¯s have a gathering?¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes blinked her eyes. When Chen zuolin heard sisi mention going back, a glimmer of light appeared in his dense eyes.¡±Sisi, let me send you home. It¡¯s sote, I¡¯ll be worried if you go home alone.¡± After saying that, he revealed a faint smile. It was so faint that only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. If one didn¡¯t pay attention, one would almost not notice it. ¡°This ...¡± Joesse was stunned. For a moment, she did not know how to answer. Zheng ze¡¯s face darkened when he heard that. The air was filled with a strong sour smell, as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned. After a short while, he said with a serious face,¡±¡±Mr. Chen, you¡¯ve drunk a lot too, so it¡¯s better not to drive. As for sisi, let me drive her. Assistant Li can drive, and he didn¡¯t drink, so it¡¯s better for President Chen to find someone to drive him to avoid any danger. ¡± Zheng Zeyiughed coldly and shifted his gaze to the stunned Qiao si si. For some reason, he felt that she was rather cute. Zheng Zeyi could still remember the incident with the robber. He was really worried about Qiao si going back alone. She was even more worried about Chen zuolin sending her back. He could see through this man¡¯s intentions at a nce. Who knew what a man and a woman would do when they were alone? At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes, and a dangerous glint shed in his eyes. Chen zuolin was not angry at being rejected. He just looked at Joes, hoping to get an answer from her. Looking at this scene, the corners of Joris¡¯s mouth twitched. She did not understand why all the difficult questions were thrown at her. Wasn¡¯t it good to go back to their own homes? Why did it have to be so awkward? However, she could still understand Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. If this man hadn¡¯t saved her in the previous crises, she didn¡¯t know what would have happened now. ¡°Phew ...¡± After taking a deep breath, Joes thought for a while and said,¡±¡±Forget it. I won¡¯t trouble President Zheng and President Chen. I¡¯ll go back by myself. The car is parked at the entrance, and I didn¡¯t drink, so don¡¯t worry. You should be careful on the road. ¡± She smiled at the two of them and blinked her clear eyes. This appearance also made them instantly lose their temper. At the side, assistant Li¡¯s heart was finally put at ease. Fortunately, President Qiao was there, or things would not have ended well. Joes did not see what had just happened, but he did. That opposing aura ... The two of them were on the verge of fighting! Assistant li, who was invisible, was affected by this aura and even wanted to escape from the scene. After deciding to go back, Joes took her card and was about to pay the bill at the front desk when a hand grabbed her fair wrist. She looked up and saw Zheng Zeyi. ¡°President Qiao, you don¡¯t have to pay the bill. I¡¯ve already paid for it before I came.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. He did not look like that at all. Chen zuolin¡¯s hand on the phone paused for a moment before he quietly put it away. It seemed like he was still a step too slow. ¡°President Zheng, have you bought it?¡± Joes said in surprise. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite with me.¡± The curve on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips became even more charming as if he was dering his ownership. His warm hand held onto Qiao SI¡¯s wrist. After a long time, even joesse felt that something was wrong and quickly retracted her hand. Her face was slightly red, like a delicious red apple. ¡°I also think that President Zheng is being too polite. Since I¡¯m the host, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s tone was calm. Of course, this was his usual attitude, and it did not arouse Jossi¡¯s suspicion. Zheng Zeyi raised his brows.¡±That¡¯s my fault for not thinking things through. If there¡¯s a chance next time, I¡¯ll get President Chen to treat us.¡± He deliberately emphasized the word ¡°there¡¯s a chance. ¡± Everyone left the room as they conversed, leaving behind a table full of delicious food. Other than Joes who had picked up her chopsticks earlier, almost no one else had eaten. It was a pity that there were only leftovers on the table. After walking down the aisle, an antique-looking restaurant came into view. Some ssical music was even ying. When one was brought into this elegant scene, one¡¯s mood could not help but be a little happier. At this time, Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin had sent them to the door. They could see the parking lot not far away, which was full of cars. There was also Joes ¡®ck Audi that was parked at an eye-catching spot. Chapter 274

Chapter 274: The problem of money

¡°That¡¯s my car. Be careful on the road, President Zheng and President Chen. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Joes bade farewell. A bright moon hung in the sky, emitting a bright light that fell on the ground. Zheng Zeyi looked up and nodded slightly.¡±¡±Go back. You be careful too.¡± ¡°It¡¯s veryte now, be careful on the road. ¡± Chen zuolin also said. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After hearing the two¡¯s words of concern, Jossi smiled faintly and walked straight to her car. She opened the car door and got in without hesitation. Her long, fair legs formed a sharp contrast with the luxury car. Coupled with joesse¡¯s makeup and dressing today, it was no exaggeration to say that she swept the entire venue. ¡°BOOM!¡± After the car started, it broke through the wind and sped off. Jossi used the rear view mirror to look at the two people at the entrance of the restaurant and smiled helplessly. But these two people were existences that she couldn¡¯t control, so she could only give up. Zheng Zeyi watched the car drive further and further away until it finally disappeared from his sight. He then focused his attention and nced at the person beside him. He didn¡¯t even say a word before he turned around and left. ...... When assistant li saw this, he couldn¡¯t react in time at first. After he reacted, he hurriedly followed. ¡°President ... Wait for me.¡± The two of them got into the luxury car. Chen zuolin didn¡¯t have the mood to talk much and drove away. If he had known that it was Zheng Zeyi who was here today, he would have dealt with the matter properly. In the end, it had turned out like this. No matter what he was thinking, Chen zuolin remained expressionless as he thought about what to do next. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, Liu Yun and the others were not having a good time either. It was an old apartment building with mottled walls and few people around. In addition to this building, there was another apartment building next to it. It was also dpidated and unsightly. Standing here in the middle of the night, it was inexplicably a little scary. The cold night wind blew, and Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but shiver. However, even the cold couldn¡¯t dispel the anger in her heart. Her finger trembled as she pointed at Yang Yue Yue and said in disbelief,¡±¡±You ... You arranged this kind of house for us?!¡± It was full of disbelief. Yang Yue Yue sneered and ced her hand on the car door. She said disdainfully,¡±¡±It¡¯s already good enough that I can arrange a house for you. Think about it. You guys messed up what I wanted you to do and now Joes is feeling smug. What benefits do you guys want from me? You¡¯re simply dreaming!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that we¡¯ll leak your recording?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er shouted in disbelief, her voice sharp. She didn¡¯t expect to end up in such an old apartment. It was even more dpidated than the house in the small town. Rather than staying here, it would be better to go back to town! ¡°A recording?¡± Yang Yue Yue seemed to have heard a joke. Her reaction waspletely different from when she had heard the recording. After an afternoon of deep thought, she had nothing to fear now. The best way to deal with Qiao Feng¡¯s family of greedy vampires was to use violence against violence. If he really tried to persuade them nicely, it would be counterproductive and make them even more confused about their own position. Yang Yue Yue sneered,¡±do you really think that you can control me with a recording?¡± What a naive way of thinking. I¡¯ve arranged amodation for you. If you don¡¯t want to make the recording public, then that¡¯s it. But if you still make it public ...¡± At this point, she paused and continued,¡±¡±At most, we¡¯ll fight to the death. If I¡¯m not having a good time, you guys won¡¯t have a good time either!¡± There was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone. She, Yang Yue Yue, was still the youngdy of the Yang family, so she could still deal with a few pieces of trash. However, Qiao si si was indeed not easy to deal with now. If he wanted to torture her, he would have to find an opportunity. Liu Yun¡¯s face turned red as she swallowed the words she wanted to say. Qiao Feng, who had been silent all this while, had an ugly expression on his face. He couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Miss yang, we¡¯re just having a fair deal. The ce you¡¯ve arranged is really too lousy.¡± It was easy to go from frugal to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. After staying in the luxurious Jiali hotel, it was almost impossible to ept such a dpidated ce. Yang Yueyue was not moved at all after hearing this. She shook the apartment key in her hand and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t want it, you can live on the street. It¡¯s already good enough that I didn¡¯t ask you topensate me.¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave. The car was just a few feet away. At that moment, Qiao Feng and Liu Yun¡¯s woman made eye contact and both of them were not satisfied with the apartment. What¡¯s the point of living in such a broken ce in a big city? ¡°Mom, dad, what should we do?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was anxious, but she didn¡¯t know what to do. She was like an ant on a hot pan. ¡°This is the only way now ...¡± Finally, Qiao Feng gritted his teeth and made a decision. It was better to keep this dpidated apartment than not having it at all. Looking at yang Yueyue¡¯s current attitude, she would definitely not give them anything else. Why don¡¯t I take this opportunity to take over the apartment and ask for some money if possible? A momentter, a voice came from behind Yang Yue Yue,¡±¡±Wait!¡± Hearing this, her lips curved into a mocking smile, but she stopped in her tracks. ¡°What, have you changed your mind?¡± he turned around and asked. Qiao Feng looked a little embarrassed, but for the sake of his son¡¯s debt of 300000 Yuan, he could only continue. After all, he was the only son in the Qiao family. If anything happened to him, the Qiao family would be finished. This was definitely not what Qiao Feng wanted to see. ¡°We ept your apartment. Give us the key.¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face turned red and he reached out his hand. Seeing this, Yang Yue Yue did not say anything. She sneered and threw the key over. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Liu Yun.¡±Miss yang, we¡¯ve already epted such a run-down ce, but regarding the money ...¡± Liu Yun rubbed her fingers together, her eyes glimmering with greed. Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei clenched their fists tightly, afraid that yang Yueyue would not give them the money. One was worried about his own future, and the other was worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to pay off his debts. Both had their own thoughts. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes turned cold. She took out a check from her pocket and exposed it to the crowd. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she didn¡¯t want the recording to be leaked, she wouldn¡¯t havepromised at all. If Liu Yun and the others still caused trouble even after she had given them money and amodation, she would not hold back ... Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Finished production

Yang Yue Yue suppressed her thoughts that were climbing like vines and threw the check over. ¡°There¡¯s 30000 Yuan in here. Don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little, or I won¡¯t give you a single cent. If you still want to take advantage of Jossi in city h, you better be smarter. Also...Don¡¯t provoke me, or I¡¯ll make sure you die an ugly death!¡± After Yang Yue Yue said that, she got into the car and left. She started the car with a bang. The car sped off, leaving only a trail of ck exhaust. Looking at the back of the car as it drove away, Liu Yun¡¯s hand that was holding the check inched closer. Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if she was looking at an enemy. ¡°This B * tch, what can 30000 Yuan do?!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s shrill voice was even more clear in the open space, and there were even echoes. She had wanted to throw the check on the ground and crush it, but it was 30000 Yuan. How could she bear to part with it? Qiao Feng¡¯s face was also sullen, and he said in an extremely bad mood,¡±¡±We¡¯ve underestimated this woman. She actually wants to fight to the death with us. The recording is still with you, right? keep it for now and don¡¯t release it. We¡¯ll find a chanceter to threaten him!¡± It was definitely not possible now. If Yang Yue Yue was really forced into a corner, it was not impossible for them to fight to the death. They could have just hired a few people, and Liu Yun and the others were helpless against them. ...... ¡°I know.¡± Liu Yun frowned and was about to keep the check when she saw Qiao Feng¡¯s gaze on her. Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, then she handed the check to Qiao Feng unwillingly with her head lowered. The apartment was right in front, and under the faint moonlight, it looked even more terrifying. However, things had alreadye to this. If she didn¡¯t want to leave city h, she could only stay in this old apartment. If they wanted to live in other ces, they had to pay some extra price. Now, Qiao Feng¡¯s family could not afford it at all. The debt of 300000 Yuan was so heavy that they could not even lift their heads. Although Qiao Lei hadn¡¯t gone out to gamble recently, he was still eager to try, hoping to win back the money from the debt. 300,000 Yuan ... Even if Qiao Lei sold himself, he wouldn¡¯t be able to pay it back. The apartment¡¯s walls were covered in mottled marks, and even the stairs were a little old. When one stepped on them, they made a creaking sound, making one worry that the stairs would copse. Qiao Feng¡¯s family carefully came to their room. After opening the door with the key, they were greeted with the smell of decay. This room had not had an owner for a long time, and it was very dirty and messy. ¡°It¡¯s too dirty ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er looked disgusted. She didn¡¯t even want to step into the apartment. Everyone was very dissatisfied. ¡°Let¡¯s go in first. At least this ce is free. ¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face turned green, but he still braced himself and walked in. The room was covered in dust and cobwebs. If they wanted to live in it, they would have to clean it up. Those who lived in other apartment buildings also felt that the rent here was cheap, so they chose this ce. ¡°You two clean up, I¡¯ll go out with Lei to buy some supper.¡± Qiao Feng nced around the room and made a decision. ¡°This ... Alright.¡± Liu Yun also did not want toe to this dirty and messy room, but since Qiao Feng had already said so, she had no choice. Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t even resist. Other than her small savings, she had to rely on her family for food, clothing, amodation, and transportation. The key was that there was still a precious Qiao Lei at home. After a long time, she swallowed her angry words and forced a smile,¡±¡±I know, dad.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Qiao Feng nodded with satisfaction and left the room with the proud Qiao Lei to buy some supper nearby. As for whether Liu Yun and the other woman would be able to have supper, that was another matter altogether. They sighed, put their luggage aside, and began to clean the room in resignation. Their disgust for the apartment was rising inch by inch. This lousy ce couldn¡¯t even bepared to Jiali hotel! At the thought of this, Liu Yun was even more furious at Yang Yue Yue. ¡®This B * tch, isn¡¯t she just relying on her family¡¯s power? Let¡¯s see how arrogant she can be when her family¡¯s power is gone! ¡­¡­¡­ In the next few days, city h was very peaceful. Other than an incident in the business world that caused a sensation, there were almost no other changes. That was a fashion show. ¡°Buzz.¡± The phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Joes was eating her breakfast. She raised her eyebrows, swallowed the bun in her mouth, and answered the call. ¡°Hello? President, the jewelry has beenpleted and I¡¯ve put them all in a box. Are we waiting for you toe over?¡± Millie¡¯s voice rang out, causing Joes to be slightly taken aback, but she was immediately overjoyed. There were still a few days before the fashion show, and it was already very good to finish the jewelry in this time. Thinking of this, she said,¡±I¡¯ll go over now. Wait for me in the parking lot with the things. I¡¯ll send them directly to boss Xu.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie replied. After that, she hung up the phone and went to thepany¡¯s underground parking lot with the box. Joesse, on the other hand, ate her breakfast at a faster pace. She drank a ss of milk and drove off. She didn¡¯t trust anyone else to handle such an important thing. Not long after, the car arrived at the parking lot of Xing Yuan. As expected, he saw Miley waiting at the side. Joes stopped the car and rolled down the window. She immediately saw the conspicuous box. ¡°Inside are the finished pieces of jewelry, right?¡± Millie nodded.¡±Yes, President. I saw those people put it in with my own eyes. Don¡¯t worry.¡± After saying that, he was also worried that there would be a mistake, so he opened the box and took a look. There were more than ten or even more than twenty precious boxes neatly arranged inside. She opened a few of them and saw that there were indeed jewels inside. Upon seeing this, the two of them felt slightly relieved. Joes took the box and ced it on the passenger¡¯s seat, saying,¡±¡±You can go up first. I¡¯ll send the things to Xu Holdings and supervise the work of the employees.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± After getting the items, joesse did not dy and drove straight to the Xu Corporation. She also sent President Xu a text message in case they didn¡¯t know and the front desk wouldn¡¯t let them in. That would be awkward. Five minutester, joesse¡¯s ck Audi stopped in front of a tall building. She got out of the car and looked at the tall building in front of her. The corners of her mouth curled up a little. She carried the box in the front passenger seat and walked into the Xu grouppany. Compared to Xing Yuan design, the scale of the Xupany was muchrger, and it was obvious that it had been established for many years. Chapter 276

Chapter 276: You have toe

Joes carried the box to the front desk. Just as she was about to speak, thedy at the front desk opened her mouth excitedly. From the looks of it, he must have already found out who she was from President Xu. ¡°You must be President Qiao? President Xu has already specifically instructed me. President Qiao, please follow me, I¡¯ll send you up. ¡± The receptionist said with a smile. After she finished speaking, she walked out of the front desk, looking as if she was going to lead joesse to the hotel. Upon seeing this, Joes raised her brows slightly and revealed a smile. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then.¡± She followed thedy at the front desk to the elevator, but she did not let go of the box in her hand. When they arrived at the top floor of the building, thedy at the front desk made a gesture of ¡°please¡± and led her to the door of the president¡¯s office. A few gold-embossed words were written on the silver sign at the door. If she was not mistaken, President Xu should be inside. ¡°I¡¯ll go in by myself. Sorry to trouble you. ¡± Joes smiled at thedy at the front desk and watched her leave. She struggled to free one hand and knocked on the door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± Someone knocked on the door. Inside, President Xu immediately looked up and said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± After receiving a response, Jossi pushed the door open and saw President Xu sitting on the office chair with a pile of documents in front of him. ...... Most of them were documents about the fashion show. The lineup for the fashion show this time was not simple, and there were still many things to deal with. Joes turned her eyes away. She did not look at the documents on the table. Instead, she ced the box in her hand on the table beside her. ¡°President Qiao, wee.¡± President Xu said with a smile. He got up to make a pot of tea and poured a cup for both of them. Joesse did not stand on ceremony and took a sip. The bitter tea entered her throat with a hint of fragrance, and her mood could not help but improve. Although she didn¡¯t know much about tea, these big bosses all liked to drink it. If she had time, she would go and learn. ¡°This is the best Tieguanyin.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. President Xu blew on the hot tea in his cup and praised,¡±¡±President Qiao, you have good taste.¡± ¡°I was just lucky.¡± She said humbly. After exchanging a few pleasantries, joesse went straight to the point and pointed at the box on the table. Worried that President Xu couldn¡¯t see clearly, she reached out and opened the box, revealing the beautiful boxes neatly arranged inside. Each box contained a corresponding piece of jewelry. The price of such a set was not cheap. The contract was also worth three to four million Yuan. In addition, Xing Yuan had Hengyuan investment and the Zheng Corporation behind it. President Xu was not too worried about the quality problem. This was also the first big order that joesse had epted since she started the star dors business. During the production of jewelry, she would go and investigate to ensure that there were no problems with the quality of the jewelry. ¡°It seems that I don¡¯t have to worry about working with President Qiao in the future. President Qiao is too polite to personally deliver the things.¡± President Xu nced at the box and then looked away. The fact that they did not check the goods immediately showed their trust. Joesughed.¡±Boss Xu, you must be joking. I¡¯m just worried about the safety of these pieces of jewelry. You should be able to understand.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± President Xu nodded without hesitation. After being in the business world for so many years, if he couldn¡¯t even understand such a small thing, he would have wasted his life. People in the business world were also cunning. The fashion show had blown up so much that it was the safest thing to do. ¡°Boss Xu, I¡¯ll open it then.¡± Joes put down the teacup in her hand. President Xu didn¡¯t refuse. He helped her take out all the jewelry boxes from the box and ced them neatly on the table. Then, he opened them one by one, not leaving out anything. The exquisite jewelry in the box was even more dazzling under the bright sunlight. Almost instantly, President Xu¡¯s eyes were attracted to the jewelry. His hand gently brushed past the jewels, but he did not touch them. After a while, he let out a sigh of admiration. ¡°As expected of President Qiao¡¯spany. The quality of the jewelry they produce is extraordinary. With this quality, they should be able to shine in fashion shows.¡± President Xu was full of praise. The fashion show this time was a little different from the runway show. It was president Xu who had changed his approach and invited Chen Anna¡¯s clothingpany to do the most important fashion design. After that, it was joesse¡¯s turn to work with her on the jewelry used for embellishment. There were also some branded essories, shoes, and so on. Thesergepanies were all participating in this fashion show. It was precisely because of this that it attracted the attention of so many people in the industry. As long as there were no idents, after the exnation of the fashion show, Xing Yuan design should be able to wee many coborations. After hearing President Xu¡¯s praise, Qiao si smiled brightly,¡±¡±Thank you for thepliment, boss Xu. We also have to thank you for giving us this opportunity.¡± ¡°No, no.¡± President Xu quickly shook his head. He didn¡¯t agree with her.¡±I didn¡¯t give you a chance. Your strength conquered me. That¡¯s why I went to President Qiao to work with you.¡± After the auctionst time, President Xu had be very interested in this newpany. He was even more shocked when he found out that Hengyuan investment and the Zheng Corporation were behind this. It was a good thing that Qiao si si had attracted President Xu¡¯s attention from the start, which led to the current coboration. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, boss Xu. ¡± Joes said, a little embarrassed. It was enough to just listen to such praise. President Xu didn¡¯t say anything. He had a warm smile on his face as he looked at the jewelry on the table. After a thorough inspection, every piece of jewelry had been delivered and there were no ws. Joes heaved a sigh of relief. It was more convenient for her to deliver it herself, and it would not waste too much time. Seeing President Xu¡¯s satisfied expression, she said,¡±¡±Boss Xu, I won¡¯t say any more nonsense. The jewelry has been delivered, so I¡¯ll ...¡± ¡°President Qiao, are you going back?¡± President Xu immediately understood what she meant. Jossi nodded.¡±After the issue on the inte was resolved, thepany has be busy. I can¡¯t stay idle either.¡± President Xu also knew about the incident on the inte. He had even posted on Weibo to support joesse, butpared to the scale of the matter, his Weibo was insignificant. President Xu took out two invitation cards for fashion shows from the drawer. They were exquisitely designed and had gold borders. ¡°This is the invitation to the fashion show. President Qiao, you have toe.¡± President Xu said jokingly. Joes took the invitation and ced it in her pocket as she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, boss Xu. How would I dare to not be there?¡± Chapter 277

Chapter 277: The fashion show begins

After saying their goodbyes, Qiao si left the Xu Corporation. On her way back to Xing Yuan designs, she gave Chen Anna a call. Only then did she find out that herpany had alreadypleted the production of the clothes. ¡°Sigh, sisi, you don¡¯t even know how many days I had to work without rest to get it out. Fortunately, I passed. Otherwise, I would have cried.¡± Chen Anna said as if she was wailing and touched the dark circles under her eyes. Jossi could not help butugh.¡±I know you¡¯re tired. Our big designer, how about we have a celebration party after the fashion show?¡± ¡°A celebration party?¡± Chen Anna asked. ¡°It¡¯s Xing Yuan¡¯s celebration party. You should know a few people inside, do you want toe and get together?¡± Joes said with a smile. In any case, it was not a big problem. Chen Anna had been her good friend for many years, and she couldpletely trust her. Chen Anna didn¡¯t want to miss the opportunity to join in the fun, so she immediately agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± She said excitedly. After that, Joes asked a few more questions and learned that Anna Chen had already received the invitation. Now, they just had to wait for the fashion show to start and present the works of the twopanies on the stage in front of everyone. The two of them encouraged each other and looked forward to the fashion show in two days. ...... This was also the day that they could shine. ¡­¡­¡­ Two dayster. For the past two days, the focus of city h¡¯s upper-ss society was on the uing fashion show. Yang Yue Yue, Liu Yun, and the rest were also busy with their own affairs and were unable to take care of Qiao si si for the time being. This allowed her to rx for a period of time. Xing Yuan design, underground parking lot. Joes got into the car. However, this time, the driver sat in the front while she and Miley sat in the back. This time, they were going to the long-awaited fashion show. For an important day like today, Joes was dressed to the nines. She wore an aqua-blue tube dress with a light silver brooch on her chest. She was wearing a pair of branded silver high heels that were decorated with small diamonds. They were extremely dazzling under the sun. Her outfit was perfect, but joesse was still a little worried. She kept asking Millie,¡±¡±What do you think of my outfit?¡± ¡°President, she¡¯s really beautiful!¡± Millie said solemnly and gave a thumbs up. Hearing this, Joes could not help but smile helplessly, her face slightly red.¡±¡±It¡¯s nice to have a sweet mouth,¡± This was the first time she had dressed so formally since she returned to city H. After all, President Xu had said that many big brands woulde to the fashion show this time, and he could not let Xing Yuan be looked down on. The journey was quite smooth, and nothing happened along the way. Just as they were about to reach the venue, the phone in Qiao SI¡¯s bag suddenly rang. She raised her eyebrows and saw President Xu¡¯s name. Without any hesitation, he picked it up and said,¡±¡±Boss Xu.¡± ¡°President Qiao, the show is about to start. Are you here?¡± President Xu said with a smile. In addition to his voice, he could also hear the voices of many people talking, and there were also some trendy English songs. Joes smiled.¡±Boss Xu, I¡¯m already on my way. I should be able to reach the entrance of the venue soon.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll see how it goes. I¡¯ll go out and receive President Qiao.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite!¡± The two exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone. After that, Joes kept her phone. At this moment, they were very close to the venue, about a few minutes ¡®walk. Two invitation cards were prepared for her and Miley. Today ... She did not know if Zheng Zeyi woulde. Qiao si thought to herself. She had not asked Zheng Zeyi about this matter, so she did not know what he meant. However, it was such a big fashion show and President Xu had worked with the Zheng Corporation before. He should be invited, right? Wait a minute! Why did she suddenly think of him! Joesse¡¯s eyes widened as two blushes crawled up her face. She used her hand to fan herself, trying to get rid of the blush on her face. However, it did not work at all. Millie, who was beside him, quickly noticed something unusual. ¡°President, what¡¯s wrong? Her face looks very red. ¡± Millie asked in confusion. Joes forced herself to calm down and took a deep breath before forcing a smile. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± she said.¡±It¡¯s just a little hot in the car. Master Wang, can you lower the air conditioner a little?¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± The driver in front heard this and quickly lowered the temperature of the air conditioner. Cold air came out, and Millie finally lost the mood to care about her. Joes¡¯s heart also felt slightly more at ease, and she could not help but look at the scenery that quickly shed past her. She also felt that something was strange recently. She would always unconsciously think of Zheng Zeyi, and that handsome and unparalleled figure would appear in her mind. This feeling was ... Joes had aplicated look in her eyes. She pursed her lips and suppressed her thoughts for the time being. While she was immersed in her emotions, the car arrived at the entrance of the venue. This was a huge venue. There were many luxury cars parked at the entrance. Joes ¡®car did not stand out among the crowd of luxury cars. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Miley. ¡± Joes said as she opened the car door and got out. She saw many people lingering at the door, most of whom she had never seen before. As for some of them, he had met them once at the banquet. Up until now, Joes had also attended many upper-ss banquets. The venue was magnificently decorated. Just from the outside, one could see that the design style was European and extremely amorous. Joes followed Millie to the entrance of the venue in her silver stiletto. There was a long red carpet on the floor. At the end of the red carpet was the entrance to the venue. When he was about to enter, one of the two men standing at the door, a gentle-looking man with sses, opened his mouth. ¡°Miss, do you have an invitation?¡± It was a gentle voice. Qiao si raised her eyebrows. She seemed to have seen this person at Xu Holdings before. He should be an employee of thepany. After she came back to her senses, she nodded and took out two beautiful invitation cards from her bag and handed them over. These two invitations were personally sent by boss Xu, so there would naturally be no problem. After the refined man saw it, he revealed a respectful smile and made a ¡°please¡± gesture.¡±Wee to the fashion show, two youngdies.¡± Upon seeing this, Joes and Millie nodded at him and smiled faintly as a response. From the outside, they couldn¡¯t see it clearly. Only after they entered did they realize how luxurious the ce was. On both sides were carefully cut green nts or flowers that exuded a delicate fragrance. Chapter 278

Chapter 278: The one from the Jiang Corporation

Bright lights hung in the sky, so the lighting was excellent and not too ring. At a nce, there were many expensive murals hanging on the wall. He didn¡¯t know where President Xu had gotten these things. After scanning the venue, Joes could not help but feel a sense of admiration. It was no wonder that President Xu needed such a long time to solve the problem with the venue. Such a luxurious decoration would take a long time to bepleted even if they worked day and night. It was already lucky to be able to do it so early. ¡°President, this ce is luxurious enough.¡± Millie¡¯s eyes lit up as she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile. Although he was happy, he wasn¡¯t too shocked by this ce. She used to work under Chen zuolin, so even if she didn¡¯t go to this kind of ce often, she had seen it a few times. Just as Jossi was about to lift her leg, a tall model walked past her. She wasn¡¯t short, but she looked petite in front of this woman. Upon seeing this, joesse¡¯s gaze fell on this woman. She was wearing the Xinghai family¡¯s clothes, which were also branded and expensive. However, she had never seen it before. ...... Joesse thought about it for a while. This should be a new product of the Xing Hai family, and it might appear in this fashion show. As she watched the woman leave, she retracted her gaze. ¡°President, should we go and find President Xu first?¡± Millie asked, puzzled. Jossi shook her head and rejected the suggestion.¡±¡±Boss Xu might be busy right now. Let¡¯s wait for a while. After all, he¡¯s the organizer of this fashion show, so he should be receiving a lot of people. ¡± Millie nodded in understanding. There were quite a few people in the hall. However, Joes and Lin Li did not attract much attention as they stood at the entrance. Suddenly, a voice came from behind. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this President Qiao from Xing Yuan? I didn¡¯t expect you to be at the fashion show today. ¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s greasy voice came from behind with a hint of ridicule. This voice ... Was very familiar. However, joesse did not like this voice at all. One could even say that she hated it. She furrowed her brows. He turned around and saw a greasy face. It was Jiang hai, whom he had not seen in a long time. Joes was not surprised by his appearance. No matter what, Jianghai¡¯spany was one of the more well-known ones in city h, so it was expected that they would ept the invitation. However, she really did not want to meet this person. Joes squinted her eyes and concealed the emotions in her eyes. She said calmly,¡±¡±President Jiang, is there anything I can help you with?¡± Millie, who was standing at the side, had also noticed that something was amiss. She stood in front of Joes to prevent the two of them froming into contact. Jiang hai sneered and said,¡±¡±Nothing much. I¡¯m just here to see how our President Qiao is getting more and more capable. He can even participate in fashion shows now.¡± There was a hint of mockery in their words. He was ridiculing Joes for relying on the tworge corporations behind her. Otherwise ... She would be nothing in the business world. After hearing this, joesse¡¯s face darkened and she said coldly,¡±¡±Does my participation have anything to do with you, director Jiang?¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t,¡± Jiang hai replied. After he said that, Jossi revealed a smile and said coldly,¡±¡±Then why do you care so much? You live by the sea?¡± ¡°You!¡± Jiang hai did not expect joesse to retort with such a statement and was stunned for a long time before he could react. However, Joes did not have the mood to care about him. She turned her head and looked elsewhere. However, this Jiang hai was also holding in a stomach full of anger. He still did not give up and continued to say things that were getting more and more overboard. ¡°President Qiao, I can give you what you want. Why do you have to follow those two? what do you want? Or do you want power?¡± Jiang hai continued to speak. Joes slowly heaved a sigh of relief. She was about to explode, and the wrinkles between her brows became denser. Why does this Jianghai guy have so much to say? Millie did not know what to say either. After a while, Joes looked straight at Jianghai and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re not worthy. ¡± He was worthy? He was a pervert. Thest time Xiaomei was taught a lesson, he had given him a warning, and now he was still not letting it go. Even though Xing Yuan seemed weak on the surface, joesse was not afraid of the Jianghaipany. Upon hearing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s face darkened and he pointed at Joes angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!¡± Her voice wasn¡¯t soft, and many people¡¯s eyes were attracted to them. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin were not here. Otherwise, Jianghai would not have dared to speak in such a way. ¡°Then what do you think I should say?¡± Joes sneered and stood at the side with her arms crossed. ¡°I think ...¡± Just as Jiang hai was about to speak, he was interrupted. ¡°President Qiao, you¡¯re already here?¡± A gentle voice was heard. Qiao si had never thought that President Xu¡¯s voice was so pleasant to the ear. Now that he was here, there was no need to continue talking to the greasy middle-aged man in Jianghai. At the thought of this, Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±Boss Xu, I was afraid that you would be busy, so I came in by myself.¡± CEO Xu¡¯s figure appeared behind Jiang hai, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He quickly looked behind him. It was indeed boss Xu! Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes were wide open. The arrogance he had earlier had disappeared, leaving only a trace of respect. In reality, he was furious. This Qiao si si really had some tricks up her sleeves. She even managed to hook up with President Xu. But ... The difference in power between Xu¡¯spany and hispany was quite big, so he naturally couldn¡¯t provoke them. If she were to say the same thing to President Xu after the way she had spoken to Qiao si si ... The more Jiang hai thought about it, the more afraid he became. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was a man who had been through a lot, so he quickly forced himself to calm down. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and greeted President Xu.¡±¡±Boss Xu, I¡¯m Jianghai. You should still remember me. I received an invitation toe to the fashion show to learn from you. To have such a career at such a young age, President Xu is really a promising young man. ¡± Sentence after sentence of ttery was thrown out as if it was free. President Xu had only just arrived, so he only heard the good things that were said about Jianghai city. If it was Chen zuolin or Zheng Zeyi instead of President Xu, the scene would have looked even better. Looking at Jianghai, President Xu raised an eyebrow and said,¡±¡±You are the one from the Jiang Corporation?¡± Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279 long time no see

¡°Yes, yes! Boss Xu, if you remember correctly, I am!¡± Jiang hai quickly nodded. The two of them had met at Chen zuolin¡¯s banquet, but Jianghai only had a vague understanding of the people at the banquet. Now that she knew, apart from Chen zuolin, the most powerful person at that time was probably this President Xu. That¡¯s why he was so obsequious, just so that President Xu would have a good impression of him. ¡°Oh ... I know. You¡¯ve met President Qiao once. What were you two talking about?¡± President Xu asked with a smile. However, there was a deep meaning in his eyes and a touch of coldness. Anyone who wasn¡¯t a fool would know what kind of person Jiang hai was. If not for thepany¡¯s size and connections, he would have been out of the industry long ago. However, he was really thinking too highly of himself to provoke Jossi. ¡°We ... We didn¡¯t talk much. We just saw President Qiao and I greeted him.¡± Jiang haiughed sheepishly. He didn¡¯t dare to say anything about what had just happened. Joes could not be bothered to exin. As long as one had a discerning eye, they would probably be able to tell. Hence, she directly ignored Jianghai. ¡°Boss Xu, is everyone here for the fashion show? You should be quite busy. ¡± Joesughed. President Xu shrugged his shoulders helplessly. ...... As one of the organizers of the fashion show, he naturally had to take care of many things, such as reception. Some invited guests had to be received personally. Qiao si si had such a background, so when he found out that she had arrived, President Xu came to the scene immediately. ¡°It¡¯s alright, but President Qiao is here. No matter what, he has toe and take a look. ¡± Jossi raised her brows and smiled,¡±¡±Boss Xu, you really know how to talk.¡± President Xu knew a lot about the ways of the world. Seeing this, Jiang hai, who had been ignored all this while, became anxious. He quickly interjected,¡±Boss Xu, I can see that you¡¯re really too good-tempered.¡± Before he could finish, someone interrupted him. ¡°The fashion show is about to start. Why don¡¯t I bring you in?¡± President Xu did not even look at Jiang hai as he smiled and finished his sentence. Joesse did not reject him and followed him into the venue. This was also a way to show off Jianghai¡¯s power. Furthermore, CEO Xu was not afraid of Jianghai at all. Giving him an invitation was just giving him face. When it came to Jossi, any smart person would know what choice to make. In the center of the huge Hall, people were swarming in and out. Only Jianghai was ignored as he stood in the center for a long time without moving. ¡°You cheap woman, you really think you¡¯re something!¡± Jiang hai spat on the ground, his greasy face full of hatred. He scanned the hall and realized that no one was paying attention to him. He quickly left, but the anger on his face did not fade. On the other hand, Joes did not pay attention to Jianghai¡¯s reaction. It was only after she entered the fashion show¡¯s T-stage and the banquet hall below that she realized the true luxury of the interior. Every brick and tile, Joes could feel her money burning. The gorgeous scene that entered her eyes also made her slightly stunned. It took her a long time to react, and she couldn¡¯t help but praise it. Noticing her abnormality, President Xu nodded with satisfaction. After spending so much effort, it was finally clear that this wasn¡¯t a fashion show that could be spoken in Mandarin. This was a joint event organized by the Xu group, some toppanies in the industry, and foreign partners. To be honest, such a Grand fashion show was unprecedented in city H. ¡°What do you think, chief Qiao? It took some time to renovate this new venue, but it seems like it was worth it. ¡± President Xu sighed. Joes took in the entire production area and gave a thumbs up,¡±¡±Boss Xu, what are you asking? of course, I only have one answer, and that is very good. To be honest, I was shocked for a while when I first came in. I can only admire boss Xu¡¯s wealth and generosity. ¡± ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m relieved to hear that, President Qiao.¡± The two of them exchanged blows, and their words were even more watertight. There were many long tables in the banquet hall, all covered with white tablecloths, and they were filled with desserts and delicacies. Most of them ... Were wine bottles that stretched as far as the eye could see. Perhaps the people who came to the fashion show wouldn¡¯t finish the wine, but it would look more impressive if they put it on the table. At this moment, there were already many people entering the venue. President Xu and Qiao sisi were chatting happily, and Miley was also very observant. She automatically stepped back a little to give the two some space. At this moment, a few people walked over with wine sses in their hands. Judging from their clothes, they were the CEOs of somepanies, and some of them had even participated in auctions. The way he looked at Joes was not as disdainful as how he looked at Jianghai. Instead, there was a hint of admiration. Female CEOs in the business world were very rare, and those who were truly capable and had means were even fewer. They could be counted on one hand. Because of the incident at the jewelry auction, Jossi¡¯s reputation had also been made known to many big shots in the upper-ss society. It was just that thepany¡¯s reputation was not high and needed to be developed slowly. ¡°President Xu, President Qiao.¡± From afar, the two of them heard a sound. When they looked up, they saw a few figures walking towards them. Among them, there was president Bai from the gamepany, President Lin from the real estatepany, and President Zhai from the foodpany. There were still many hidden talents in the venue, but they were all in a wait-and-see state and had already contacted President Xu. Hence, they were not in a hurry to visit Qiao si, who had caught the eye of President Xu. ¡°So it¡¯s you three, director Bai. You even brought wine.¡± President Xu couldn¡¯t help butugh. He noticed the sses of the three judges and smiled meaningfully. He also picked up two sses of wine from the long table. One was for himself, while the other was for joesse. She didn¡¯t hesitate and took it directly, greeting CEO Bai and the other two with a smile. Red wine was prepared for the banquet, and it was very expensive red wine. After all, those who coulde here were not ordinary. ¡°President Bai, President Lin, President Zhai, long time no see. I didn¡¯t expect to see you here today.¡± Joes said with a smile. After she finished speaking, she raised the ss in her hand and took a sip of the fragrant red wine. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that her alcohol tolerance had improved, she would have gotten drunk after drinking a little red wine. But it was different now. President Xu also greeted them. At this time, the threepany bosses in front of them also walked up to them. ¡°Hahahaha, boss Xu, boss Qiao, it¡¯s been a long time indeed.¡± President Bai clinked their sses. Chapter 280 - What boss Xu said makes sense

Chapter 280: What boss Xu said makes sense

President Bai had also met Jossi at Chen zuolin¡¯s banquet and even talked to her. She was even more familiar with President Xu. The crisp sound of sses ttering against each other rang out, but the banquet hall was noisy, so it didn¡¯t attract much attention. ¡°Director Bai.¡± Joes responded and took a sip of red wine. Her posture was elegant and she had the aura of a superior. She waspletely different from the young and inexperienced girl she used to be. In a year¡¯s time, and with the things that had happened during this time, she had matured a lot. As for the other two, President Lin and President Zhai, she had only met President Lin once. President Zhai had not even met them before. Joes was not very familiar with these two. After that, President Xu introduced them to each other and finally understood. As the organizer, he knew the background of the guests at the banquet the best. ¡°I remember that President Qiao¡¯spany is in the jewelry design business, right?¡± The person who spoke was president Zhai, who was standing by the side. Even though he had never seen joss¨¦ before, he had heard of her reputation. Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly, but a strange glint shed across her eyes. Maybe ... He could even find a fewpanies he could cooperate with at Shi shangxiu¡¯s event. ...... ¡°That¡¯s right. Mypany is in the jewelry design business, but it¡¯s not very famous now. Not many people should have heard of it.¡± Joes said generously. There was nothing to hide about this. President Bai couldn¡¯t help butugh.¡±President Qiao, you¡¯re so efficient. Xing Yuan has a big background. I believe that it will upy a part of the jewelry market in city h sooner orter.¡± ¡°Thank you for your blessings, CEO Bai.¡± Joes smiled brightly. After that, everyone gathered around and drank and chatted. They got along quite harmoniously. asionally, the bosses of otherpanies woulde over to chat them up, and everyone would pick up their sses and drink with each other. Because of this incident, joesse got to know a lot of otherpany¡¯s CEOs. ¡°President Qiao, I¡¯m very optimistic about Xing Yuan. I just don¡¯t know if President Qiao has any intention to cooperate with the Bai family on a project?¡± President Bai swirled the wine ss in his hand. However, his words immediately caught Joes¡¯s attention. Cooperation? The corners of her mouth rose slightly. She had really worn out her iron shoes in a long search, but found it without any effort. This CEO Bai was also considered a force. If they cooperated, there would be many benefits for Xing Yuan. However, it was not convenient to talk about this in this ce. ¡°Director Bai, of course I wee your intention. Why don¡¯t youe to star essence when you¡¯re free next time?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and said. Director Bai understood this as well. He finished the wine in his ss and replied,¡±¡±Of course, I can. I¡¯ll personally inform President Qiao when the timees.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to entertain you well.¡± Joes said jokingly, causing CEO Bai to chuckle. When the other two presidents, President Lin and President Zhai, heard this, their eyes darkened, but they did not express their opinions. It was CEO Bai¡¯s own choice to cooperate. Should they also cooperate with Xing Yuan? The two of them had been observing Joes all this while and had even done some research on the design of the star unit. At the moment, it was still a small, unknownpany, but it was much better than when thepany was just established. Moreover, with the Zheng¡¯s group and Hengyuan behind him, he could indeed go further. President Lin and President Zhai looked at each other. They had made up their minds. They could give cooperation a try. Jossi was happy to see such a scene. After that, President Xu took her to meet a few foreign partners, one of whom was Mike. Before Jossi went abroad, she had heard of his reputation. In short, he was an extremely sessful business Big Boss. ¡°President Mike.¡± She greeted him and shook his hand with a polite smile on her face. Mike didn¡¯t refuse. He spoke in fluent Chinese and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re President Qiao, who was designed by Xingyuan, right?¡± Upon hearing this, joesse was slightly taken aback. She asked in a slightly puzzled tone,¡±¡±Have you heard of me?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Mike¡¯s eyes lit up. He put his hand on President Xu¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile,¡±¡±Boss Xu has mentioned it to me many times. I can¡¯t forget it even if I want to. And as soon as I came back, someone told me about the auction. I¡¯ve seen the video. President Qiao, you¡¯re not bad. ¡± President Xu narrowed his eyes. He did mention it, but he didn¡¯t say too much. Mike had to find out most of it himself. ¡°Thank you for thepliment, President Mike. I¡¯ve heard of your reputation overseas, and you¡¯re much better than me.¡± Joesughed. ¡°You¡¯re too kind. ¡± Mike said humbly. He then scanned the venue and suddenly asked,¡±¡±That¡¯s strange. Didn¡¯t President Zhenge today?¡± President Zheng? Zheng Zeyi? Joesse pondered for a while and quickly recalled that Mike must have worked with Zheng Zeyi in some way. Otherwise, she would not be so concerned about whether Zheng Zeyi was here or not. Speaking of which, Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi should havee to a fashion show of this level, but he didn¡¯t see any of them here. Joes could not help but feel suspicious as she asked,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, boss Xu. Didn¡¯t you invite boss Zheng to the fashion show today?¡± ¡°I did.¡± President Xu shook his head. ¡°Yes,¡± he exined,¡±but President Zheng is the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. He might be busy with something.¡± It would be weird if a CEO of a bigpany had nothing to do all day. ¡°You¡¯re right, boss Xu. ¡± Joes said in agreement. The few of them did not continue to dwell on this matter and focused their attention on the fashion show. The sky had already darkened. Through the window, one could see the deep night sky and a few stars. It was around eight or nineo¡¯ clock. The fashion show was held at this time for the lighting. Suddenly, the lights around them lit up and shone on the stage, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Joes and Millie sat in the chairs below the stage, watching the scene on stage with full concentration. ¡°President, the jewelry made by ourpany will be worn by those models, right?¡± Millie¡¯s eyes were glued to the stage. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± joesse exined.¡±There are also professional judges. This fashion show is a little special. Boss Xu modified some of the procedures himself. Other than making a name for ourpany, we¡¯ll also help our partners gain a good reputation in the industry. ¡± At this point, she did not continue to exin but chose to stop in time. Chapter 281 - It’s not good to do this

Chapter 281: It¡¯s not good to do this

Of course, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem even if he continued talking. Joes did not say anything because Millie¡¯s brain worked faster than she had imagined. There was no need for her to exin so clearly. ¡°I understand, President!¡± Miley turned to look at her President and said with a smile. While the two of them were talking, President Xu walked up to the stage in a custom-made suit and a microphone. He raised the microphone and said loudly,¡±wee, everyone, to this fashion show. I¡¯m sure everyone knows that this show is the hard work of many people.¡± I won¡¯t waste any more time. We¡¯ve also invited a few famous judges who will be on stage to evaluate them one by one. ¡± With that, a few fashionably dressed judges walked up to the stage, greeted the crowd, and took their seats. After the same opening process, the fashion show finally began. The seats at the bottom were all designed for the invited guests, and they were all full. The trendy background music yed, and the lights also had a hint of charm. Joes could not help but smile. She held a ss of orange juice in her hand and gently shook the liquid in the ss. Soon, the first model was on the stage. She was wearing a ck dress with a tube top design, but the back was split open, revealing her smooth and delicate back. ...... The model was wearing a ne, and only the bright gem in the middle was very attractive. And the jewelry in her hands. With just one look, Joes could tell that this was a piece of jewelry designed and made by star Yuan design. At the moment, it seemed that it was still very good. Moreover, after understanding Chen Anna¡¯s design style, the jewelry and clothing alsoplemented each other, bing a bonus point. At the thought of this, Joris swept her gaze across the seats, but did not see the person she was looking for. Frowning slightly, she took out her phone and quickly sent a text message to Chen Anna, asking her where she was. There was a reply very quickly. Anna Chen: ¡°I¡¯m at the back. I just got here and was almostte. I saw you, sisi.¡± After Joes saw the message, she subconsciously looked behind her. As expected, she found Anna Chen in the corner. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought that she would note to such a big fashion show. However, it was impossible. Even if it was for thepany, the clothingpany would have forced Chen Anna toe. This was a very good opportunity to show his face. The model walked to the front of the stage, her entire body under the light. The ck scales on his skin also reflected a dazzling light under the light. Including the jewelry she wore and her makeup, no one could find any mistakes. Fortunately, the judges gave high scores and gave the same evaluation, so it was quite fair. Millie¡¯s eyes lit up and she smiled at Joes.¡±¡±President, our jewelry has the highest rating.¡± After she finished speaking, she subtly hinted to Joes with her eyes to look at the score given by the judges on the stage. The full score was ten points, and jewelries had nine points, which could be said to be the highest score in the wholepetition. ¡°Yes, I saw it.¡± Seeing how happy Millie was, joesse was also affected and her mood improved. ¡°President, if nothing goes wrong, Xingyuan will definitely make a name for himself in this fashion show. With such a high score, it¡¯s reasonable for him to not attract attention.¡± Miley said with certainty. Her tone was also full of confidence, showing how much she believed in this matter. Millie had worked at Hengyuan investmentpany before, so she knew a lot about this. Given the current situation, thepany would definitely make a name for themselves if they were to go back and do some publicity. Hearing this, joesse also smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I will. ¡± It was within her expectations that the jewelry made by Xingyuan design would shine in this fashion show. She just didn¡¯t expect that it would be better than the clothing. If she and Chen Anna hadn¡¯t been best friends for so many years ... This time, he might even offend a fashion designpany. Things in the business world were sometimes like this. As long as you affected the interests of others, you would be cklisted. After this model left the stage, another tall and slender model followed. Other than that, there were several other models who went on stage together. Coupled with the background music, it gave people a great shock. The stage hadpletely be a beautiful scene. Many men below the stage were staring at it with wide eyes. Each model¡¯s clothing, jewelry, and makeup would also be given a score by the judges. Up until now, more than a dozen people had already left the stage. Qiao si looked at the situation on stage, then thought for a while and sent a message to Zheng Zeyi to ask if he would be joining the fashion show. However, he didn¡¯t receive a reply for a long time, so he gave up and put his phone away. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, in the Zheng¡¯s Financial group¡¯s reception room. Zheng Zeyi leaned back on the soft sofa and took a sip of the hot tea in his hand. In front of him was a familiar person. It was his father, Zheng lihan. ¡°What do you want from me? just tell me.¡± Zheng ze said without raising his head as he focused on drinking the tea in his hand. He took a look at the time. At this time, the fashion show had already started. Zheng Zeyi was well aware of what this nominal father of his wanted to do. He was just trying to drag him away from the fashion show. What a childish method. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes flickered coldly. If he was not mistaken, his brother should have arrived at the scene. Would Qiao si si see him? At the thought of this, Zheng ze¡¯s grip on the teacup tightened, and the air pressure around him became lower and lower. Assistant li, who was outside the door, was eagerly paying attention to the situation in the guest room, but he did not dare to push the door open and could only stand outside and wait anxiously. ¡°I hope President Zheng doesn¡¯t do anything.¡± Assistant li frowned. However, the president Zheng He was referring to was not Zheng Zeyi, but Zheng lihan from the Zheng¡¯s group. About ten minutes ago, Zheng lihan, who was looked down upon by everyone in the Zheng¡¯s group, came to thepany and went straight to the president¡¯s office. However, no one in thepany dared to stop him. After all, he was the president¡¯s father, so it was really inappropriate to do this. If assistant li had not noticed and stopped him in time, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mood would have been even colder now. He knew the rtionship between the father and son. They didn¡¯t usually see each other. In the guest room, Zheng lihan frowned. He did not look at the teacup in front of him, but looked up at Zheng Zeyi. Chapter 282

Chapter 282: I understand, President

There was not a trace of a father¡¯s emotion toward his son in his eyes. It was as if he had no feelings for a stranger. ¡°How¡¯s thepany¡¯s situation recently?¡±Zheng lihan asked after a while. Since you don¡¯t have anything to do now, why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup paused, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. He held the teacup in his hand and said,¡±I¡¯m sorry. I have something to do now. You¡¯ve disturbed me bying here. Can you leave?¡± There was no change in his tone, but those who were familiar with Zheng Zeyi knew that he was angry. Hearing this, Zheng lihan¡¯s face turned cold. He mmed his palm on the table, making a loud ¡°bang¡±. Assistant li, who was outside the door, was shocked. He almost couldn¡¯t control himself and pushed the door open directly. Fortunately, he managed to control himself in the end. He waited anxiously outside, worried about what would happen inside. ¡°You unfilial son, did I raise you up for you to talk to me like this? I¡¯m your father!¡± Zheng lihan said righteously. However, Zheng Zeyi did not take his words to heart at all. He chuckled and his eyes turned cold. Even his tone was cold.¡±Raising me up, Mr. Zheng really knows how to joke. You should be clear about your position at home. Why did youe to the branchpany for no reason? you don¡¯t understand these things. ¡± Towards the end, his tone rose a little, full of ridicule. ...... Zheng ze sipped his tea and looked at Zheng lihan with a dangerous gaze. He was like a prehistoric beast, and even Zheng lihan could not help but feel a chill down his spine. He was furious. He pointed at Zheng Zeyi with a trembling finger and scolded,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, is this the attitude you should have when talking to me? No matter what, I¡¯m still your father in name. Today, I asked you to tell me, so you must tell me!¡± The angry shout could be heard clearly even outside the door. Zheng Zeyi was toozy to talk to him. He mmed the cup on the table with a ¡°pa¡± sound. He looked up and said in a nonchnt tone,¡±you¡¯re dragging me on and not letting me go?¡± If I¡¯m not wrong, that son of yours should have gone to the fashion show, right?¡± It was the first time in city h that such a Grand fashion show was being held, and many bosses ofpanies would be attending. It was also the best opportunity to establish a cooperative rtionship and a good rtionship. It did not matter if Zheng ze went or not. He did notck connections. However, Zheng lihan had already done this. If he did not go, how could he let down his painstaking efforts? ¡°You ...¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s face turned red with anger, but he did not know how to refute her words. He felt guilty. Because Zheng Zeyi was right, Zheng Zeyu had indeed gone to a fashion show. Due to his guilty conscience, Zheng lihan¡¯s voice became weaker. However, he forced himself to calm down as he was still at his age. He mmed his hand on the table and said,¡±¡±So what if you go? Zeyu is your younger brother. You should support him.¡± Hearing this, Zheng Zeyi sneered and did not want to continue the conversation. He really did not want to bother with this so-called father. To him, Zheng lihan¡¯s words were simply nonsense. After some thought, Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and got up to leave. Seeing this, Zheng lihan frowned. He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. However, he did not slow down and stood up to stop him. ¡°Where are you going? I asked you to tell me about thepany¡¯s situation. You¡¯re not allowed to go anywhere!¡± Hearing that, Zheng Zeyi concealed the emotions in his eyes. He did not say anything, but a storm was brewing in his eyes. The corners of his mouth also rose a little, with a hint of ridicule. Zheng lihan saw that Zheng Zeyi did not say anything and thought that his words had taken effect. His voice became gentler. ¡°Zeyi, after all, thepany doesn¡¯t belong to you alone. Don¡¯t forget that dad also has some shares.¡± That¡¯s why you have to listen to dad¡¯s opinion. I think Zeyu¡¯s current ability is quite good. Who knows, he might be able to make a name for himself in thepany ...¡± Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted! ¡°Shut up!¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he found it funny and immediately shouted. Fortunately, his imposing manner was shocking, and it also frightened Zheng lihan. No matter what, he had been in the business world for so many years. To be able to get to his current position, how could Zheng lihan possibly be able to deal with him? Naive. Zheng Zeyi nced at Zheng lihan and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was also clear about the shares that his father was talking about. Old master Zheng gave it to this good-for-nothing when he was 18. However, it was impossible to get it back now. Zheng lihan was counting on the shares in his hands to threaten Zheng Zeyi. How could he let go? ¡°First, although you have shares in thepany, with your useless abilities, it¡¯s better if you don¡¯te here and give orders.¡± Zheng Zeyi sneered. He continued.¡±Secondly, you said that Zheng Zeyu is my younger brother. I don¡¯t agree with that. The son of a mistress is not fit to be in the family tree!¡± That¡¯s right, mistress. Ma Shan was a third party who meddled in someone else¡¯s rtionship. No matter how she tried to clear her name, she could not change the fact that she was an illegitimate child. As long as Zheng ze was in the Zheng Corporation, he would not let the greedy mother and son have any chance of touching the Zheng Corporation. As for Zheng lihan ... Zheng Zeyi would not mind attacking if he did not want to give face. There was a cold glint in his eyes. Even Zheng lihan, who was extremely angry, did not dare to look him in the eye. He even took a few steps back. ¡°What third party? it¡¯s all nonsense!¡± Zheng lihan retorted, but there was a guilty glint in his eyes. He nced at Zheng Zeyi and quickly retracted his gaze.¡±¡±I don¡¯t care. If you leave today, don¡¯t acknowledge me as your father!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great, as you wish. ¡± Zheng Zeyi smirked and walked past him. He had only taken a few steps when he heard an angry roar. ¡°You¡¯re rebelling! Stop right there!¡± Zheng lihan was no longer elegant. He no longer looked like an artist. Instead, he looked like a greasy middle-aged man. Of course, he looked much better than he did in Jianghai city. After all, the Zheng family¡¯s genes were obvious to all. Upon hearing this angry roar, Zheng ze walked out of the guest room without looking back. Assistant li, who was standing outside the door, quickly reacted and bowed slightly.¡±¡±President Zheng,¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi responded. He looked at the people who were chasing after him and said coldly,¡±¡±I don¡¯t just meet anyone. Remember this, don¡¯t bring me the people I don¡¯t want to meet.¡± ¡°Yes, President, I understand!¡± Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Getting ready to go to the fashion show

Of course, assistant li understood what Zheng Zeyi meant. He was telling him not to let him see this so-called father in thepany again. Although Zheng lihan had shares and he was in his ownpany, no one could stop him. However, one should not forget that the current president of thepany was Zheng Zeyi. Old master Zheng was also prepared to transfer all his shares to him. That was 70% of the Zheng corporation¡¯s shares, while Zheng lihan only owned 10%. If she really wanted to take this opportunity to bring down Zheng Zeyi, she would have to start from old master Zheng¡¯s shares. He had 40% of the shares. It was precisely because of this that Ma Shan and Zheng lihan felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of and tried their best to pull Zheng ze down. As long as Zheng Zeyu inherited the position of the CEO of the Zheng Corporation, the countless assets would belong to them. However, he didn¡¯t care about any of this. It was just an ant¡¯s trick. Even if it was a conspiracy, it was just a paper tiger in front of absolute strength. As soon as Zheng ze walked out of the office, he had just said a few words to assistant li when Zheng lihan quickly followed him. Hearing their conversation, he said angrily,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, you unfilial son, what are you saying! I¡¯m in my ownpany, do I need you to criticize me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s mine,¡± Zheng Zeyiughed coldly and exposed this fact mercilessly. He really thought of himself as the boss of thepany. Why didn¡¯t he look at himself in the mirror and see if he was worthy? ...... However, Zheng lihan did not understand the deeper meaning behind it. He continued to say,¡±I don¡¯t care, you better exin yourself. I¡¯m your father. How can a son talk to his father like that? This is unfilial!¡± It was endless. A trace of impatience shed across Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep eyes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He ... Was not a pushover. Wasn¡¯t he stalling for time to stop him from going to the fashion show? At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi raised his eyes slightly. His vortex-like pupils looked directly at Zheng lihan, as if they could suck people in. ¡°I don¡¯t want to waste my breath on you,¡± he said coldly.¡±Get lost immediately!¡± At the end of his sentence, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, stabbing straight into Zheng lihan¡¯s heart. He was so shocked that his mouth was slightly agape and he did not know what to say for a long time. When he regained his senses, Zheng Zeyi had already disappeared from his sight. Only assistant li was still standing at the side. However, he was not as reverent as he was when he faced Zheng lihan. ¡°President Zheng,¡± Assistant Li said. Zheng lihan was already angry, but he did not dare to vent his anger on Zheng Zeyi. When he heard him speak, he was even more furious. ¡°Look at what the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group has be. I think Zheng Zeyi has not even taught his subordinates well!¡± He started to vent his anger. He was referring to what assistant li had told him to wait in the guest room. Zheng lihan thought that it should be easy for him to meet Zheng Zeyi at thepany since he held the shares and was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father. He didn¡¯t expect it to turn out like this in the end. Assistant li lowered his head slightly so that no one could see the expression on his face.¡±President Zheng, this is the president¡¯s order. I¡¯m just following the president¡¯s instructions. Please forgive me, President Zheng. The president also said that if there¡¯s nothing, President Zheng doesn¡¯t need toe to thepany so often. ¡± ¡°What does he mean by this? I¡¯m not allowed to touch thepany!¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s eyes were red with anger. Assistant li really wanted to say,¡±yes.¡± However, when he saw Zheng lihan¡¯s current state, he could only swallow his words. Zheng Zeyi could say that he had the ability, but assistant li couldn ¡®t. It was better to keep a low profile. ¡°This ... President Zheng, the president didn¡¯t say that. You must have misunderstood.¡± Assistant Li said. ¡°Good, good, you¡¯re joining forces to deal with me, right? I¡¯m leaving!¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s hands trembled in anger when he saw assistant Li¡¯s impassive face. In the end, he had no choice but to leave thepany in a rage. She might as well buy some time for Zheng Zeyu and hoped that he could get to know some people he could work with on the fashion show. At the same time ... He could also destroy Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reputation. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯ll drag you down sooner orter. You¡¯re so disrespectful to your own father!¡± He cursed to himself, his face twisted. Zheng lihan walked through thepany¡¯s crowd and went out directly, but he did not realize that many employees were looking at his back. ¡°That¡¯s President Zheng, right?¡± An employee couldn¡¯t help but stop his work and ask curiously. ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯re so angry. Did something happen?¡± Another employee said. ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? President Zheng doesn¡¯t know how to run apany. Does he really think that no one knows about this?¡± Someone pouted. ¡°The president doesn¡¯t like President Zhenging to the office. I guess the two of them had a fight upstairs just now.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a fashion show today? President Zheng isn¡¯t trying to dy the time so that the president can¡¯t go, is he?¡± ¡°A grand family, who knows.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then President is too pitiful. President Zheng is too much.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Such words were heard all over the ce. The divorce of the Zheng family had also caused a huge sensation. Many people knew about this. ¡°That¡¯s right. But it¡¯s better for us to talk less about the president and the others.¡± A wise man said. After he said this, everyone also noticed that something was wrong, so they didn¡¯t continue talking and went back to their work. Top floor, president¡¯s office. The president that they had been thinking about, Zheng Zeyi, did not feel ufortable at all. He had changed into a custom-made suit. Perhaps he would have been sad when he was treated like this when he was young. However, things were different now. Zheng Zeyi was no longer the same person as when he was young. He had seen many of such things. There was a full-length mirror in front of him. Zheng Zeyi took a look at it. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he had an air of elegance about him. So what if Zheng lihan did not want him to go to the fashion show? if he wanted to, he could go anytime. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zheng Zeyi buttoned his shirt. His face was calm and emotionless as he said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± After hearing this, assistant li pushed the door open and entered without any hesitation. He looked at the neatly dressed President with a hint of confusion in his eyes. It looked like ... The president was preparing to go to a fashion show. If Zheng lihan had not suddenly appeared and caused trouble, Zheng Zeyi would have been in the fashion show venue by now. This so-called father of his was really not a good person. Chapter 284

Chapter 284: You¡¯re not bad either

This was the thought of assistant li. He suppressed his thoughts and quickly lowered his head.¡±President, President Zheng has already left. I¡¯ll be more careful next time.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently. He looked up at the time. It had been 30 minutes since the fashion show started. Even if he rushed over now, he would still need time. By the time it really arrived, it was almost over. ¡°Send a car to the venue immediately.¡± An authoritative voice sounded in front of him. Assistant li had already guessed this would be the result, so he answered without hesitation,¡±¡±Yes, President. I¡¯ll go and prepare now.¡± After saying that, assistant li turned around and left the office, heading downstairs. At this moment, Qiao sisi had no idea that Zheng Zeyi, who she had been thinking about, was only getting ready to go to the venue now. If he knew what had happened, he would probably feel indignant. ¡­¡­¡­ At the fashion show venue. The fashion show was almost over, and the response it received was extremely enthusiastic. ...... Whether it was the jewelry designed by Xing Yuan, the clothes designed by Chen Anna¡¯spany, or the makeup of otherpanies, etc. Each and every one of them was an existence that stunned everyone. Here, one could also see the true strength of eachpany. When thest model came on stage, it instantly attracted the attention of many people, and the sound of gasps could be heard. ¡°This is ...¡± Joesse was stunned. Then, she remembered. This outfit was from the elven series designed by Anna Chen. When she first found out about this series, Joes had been in a dilemma. It was extremely difficult to achieve such a cute and fairy-like state. In the end, she chose to design it herself. She designed a headdress that wrapped around her ck hair. A small round drop of water could be seen between her eyebrows, which was actually a sapphire. However, after the forging, the color was a bit gentler, just like the light blue sky. It could be said to be the finishing touch. Other than that, there was also a white corbone with diamonds and a light blue anklet. Such a design could be considered to havepletely released the fairy¡¯s divine energy. The finale was indeed extraordinary, Jossi sighed. Millie¡¯s eyes also reflected a ray of light as she said excitedly,¡±¡±President, I know about this. You designed it, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Joes smiled and nodded. She did not hide this matter as most of the people in thepany knew about it. However, she didn¡¯t design much. The jewelry worn by the other models were all handled by Lin ya and the others. However, joesse was a little worried that the little elf would be an Asian suit, so she designed it herself. ¡°The president is really amazing.¡± Millie couldn¡¯t help but exim. Faced with her praise, Joes did not say anything. She had a faint smile on her face. She looked back and saw Anna Chen waving her hand. She was happy for Joes too. This was not her credit alone, but the credit of the other employees in thepany¡¯s design department. When thest model left the stage, the fashion show was over. President Xu didn¡¯t waste any time. While everyone¡¯s attention was still on the stage, he took the microphone and went on stage. ¡°This fashion show is also the result of the cooperation between thepanies. I wonder what everyone thinks of it?¡± Upon hearing this, the people sitting below the stage were silent for a moment. After a while, they answered one after another. ¡°Boss Xu, of course, it¡¯s excellent. Even we haven¡¯t seen this quality many times.¡± ¡°It¡¯s abination of the strengths of variouspanies, and every design has its own soul. My opinion is that this fashion show is very good.¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for boss Xu, we might not even be able to enjoy such a scene.¡± Someone said jokingly. ¡°Well said,¡± There were many people who were ttering her, and there were also some who were serious about theirments. Joes looked at her with a smile, but she did not say anything. After receiving so much praise, President Xu¡¯s face remained calm. He said,¡±¡±It¡¯s good that everyone thinks it¡¯s okay. This is the end of the fashion show. Next, everyone can move to the banquet hall. If you are interested in working together, we can discuss it there. ¡± After that, President Xu didn¡¯t say anything more. He got off the stage and walked towards the banquet hall. This fashion show was held in city h, and it was just the beginning. It was impossible for President Xu to only have this much ambition. He might even have to do it overseas, but that was not certain. Qiao si si was not too sure about his specific thoughts. No matter what, it was president Xu¡¯s n, so she did not have to guess. Everyone got up and went to the beautifully decorated banquet hall. ¡°Let¡¯s go. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie quickly nodded and stood up from her seat. Just as Joes stood up, Anna Chen walked over. She couldn¡¯t help but wave her hand and said with a smile,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯m here. You¡¯re much earlier than me.¡± Millie did not know who Anna Chen was, but she guessed that she was also a VIP guest of the fashion show. She followed behind Joes quietly. The three of them together formed a beautiful scenery. ¡°I¡¯m fine. But you, I didn¡¯t seem to see you at the beginning.¡± Joes said as she walked. If Chen Anna had been there when they entered the banquet hall, she would have seen them. After hearing this, Anna Chen nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±I¡¯mte. There was a traffic jam on the way. Fortunately, I arrived before the fashion show started.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± ¡°By the way, sisi, can you help me take a look at my clothes today?¡± she asked. Chen Anna suddenly remembered something. She took a few steps forward and faced Joes directly, disying a set of clothes that she had designed for both her and Millie. It was a fishtail dress, but Anna Chen cleverly made use of the morefortable light gray and used a one-shoulder design. With a few Beautiful Broken diamonds, Chen Anna could be said to be a very eye-catching existence in formal asions. As a designer, she could handle any style she wanted. Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she praised,¡±¡±It¡¯s really not bad. Your designs are getting better and better. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but you¡¯re not bad either. The elven jewelry series that you designed has received a lot of good reviews from the judges.¡± Chen Anna blinked her eyes yfully. When thest model went on stage, even the judges were shocked. The jewelry was the finishing touch, and its rating was even higher than this series of clothes. This was strength. Hearing the rare praise from her friend, Jossi also revealed a faint smile and was somewhat happy. Chapter 285

Chapter 285: It¡¯s really great

The two of them talked for a long time on the runway. Chen Anna noticed Miley behind her and looked at her. ¡°This is?¡± Chen Anna asked, puzzled. When it came to her, Millie didn¡¯t stay in the back to suppress her presence and stood out. ¡°This is my assistant, Miley,¡± Joes introduced with a smile.¡±She¡¯s a very cute girl.¡± After that, she introduced Chen Anna to Miley,¡±¡±This is my best friend, Chen Anna. I think you two will get along well.¡± Chen Anna was carefree, but her personality was meticulous. Miley, on the other hand, was lively. As expected by Jossi, the two of them chatted happily because they shared the same interests. They did not seem like friends who had just met. Upon seeing this, joesse was slightly relieved. In just a few steps, they had arrived at the banquet hall on the side. At this moment, the banquet hall was packed with people. At a nce, they were all the guests who hade to the fashion show, as well as the models who had changed their clothes. There was a round table in the middle. With just one look, one could tell that this was used by President Xu. The banquet hall had a round dome design, which waspletely different from the fashion show venue on the other side. From the outside, it looked like a round lid. There were many chandeliers on the ceiling, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire Hall. ...... There were many long tables in the hall. The long tables were covered with ayer of white and clean tablecloth. Many delicacies and red wine were ced neatly on the tables. Seeing this, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up.¡±¡±Sure, I like this ce.¡± Millie could not help butugh. Affected by the two¡¯s emotions, Jossi felt a little helpless. However, she did not say anything and just stood at the side and waited quietly. The three of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and even Millie¡¯s clothes were specially selected by jocees from a tailor shop. This fashion show was also the stepping stone for Xingyuan¡¯s designs to reach the public, so naturally, they had to treat it with the grandest attitude. The three of them stood in the middle of the banquet hall, and they were simply eye-catching. ¡­¡­¡­ After everyone had moved into the banquet hall, President Xu didn¡¯t waste any time and directly stood on the stage with the microphone. ¡°Everyone, this is the banquet hall. You can chat freely here. The wine and food have been prepared.¡± President Xu smiled faintly. After that, thunderous apuse sounded from the audience. ¡°Then, thank you for your hospitality, boss Xu!¡± Hearing what the people below the stage said, President Xu picked up the microphone, raised his eyebrows, and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not the only one who organized this. There are many other cooperativepanies. I won¡¯t say any more nonsense, please do as you please. ¡± At the end of his sentence, President Xu¡¯s smile deepened. He put down the microphone and left the stage. After he said this, the people in the banquet hall began to stir. Many of the wine sses on the long tables were empty. Fortunately, the waiters were still in the banquet hall. When they saw guests in need, they would automatically serve wine or other drinks. Joes and the other two moved from the center of the banquet hall to a corner. ¡°It looks like everyone is taking this matter seriously. I guess they¡¯re all here for a business coboration.¡± Chen Anna nced around the banquet hall. Most of the guests were dressed in formal suits and leather shoes. They were all holding a ss of red wine and talking in an extraordinary manner. There were so many people in the hall, and now they were all divided into many small groups, chatting freely. She wasn¡¯t a fool. After all, she was about to be the chief designer of her ownpany, so she was clear about this. Other than this, there should be other reasons. If not, why would President Xu go through so much trouble to cooperate with others to organize this fashion show? The goal ... Must be profit! Upon hearing that, Joes picked up the wine ss beside her and poured some red wine into it. The wine-red liquid shook slightly. Not only her, but she also poured a ss for Chen Anna and the other woman, and they did not refuse. ¡°You¡¯re right, but maybe this time, Xingyuan will be able to find a business partner. ¡± Joes chuckled and took a sip of the red wine in the wine ss. The slightly bitter taste entered her mouth. ¡°Star essence? President, you¡¯re talking about ourpany. ¡± Millie asked doubtfully, but she quickly reacted. That was because there were three men in suits in front of them. They were President Bai, President Lin, and another president Zhai. ¡°President Bai ... Why are you guys here?¡± Joes had long noticed their presence. Seeing them approach, she took a few steps forward. He raised the wine ss in his hand, appearing to be quite warm. The three of themughed and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, you still remember what we talked about before, right?¡± They were talking about cooperation. President Bai had already confirmed it, but President Lin and President Yan both felt that it was worth a try. However, after seeing the process of the fashion show, this idea took root in their hearts. Together with what President Bai had said, they decided to work on the project together. As expected. A glint shed across Joes ¡®eyes, but no one noticed it. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Of course I won¡¯t forget, but here ...¡± After all, they were in a public ce. If they were to discuss the cooperation here, there was a high possibility that someone would hear them. To be safe, it would be better to talk about it at thepanyter. Fortunately, CEO Bai and the other two had the same thought. They only heard half of her sentence before they reacted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao,¡± President Lin said.¡±After the fashion show is over, the three of us will go to xing Yuan design studio tomorrow or the day after.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± President Bai and President Zhai nodded. Looking at their expressions, it was clear that they had made up their minds. Joes could not help but feel a little happy, and she smiled. ¡°I have to thank you for your trust in Xing Yuan design. I can guarantee that we will be fair and just in our cooperation. Since you¡¯re working with me, you should know some of my background. Even if I started out as amoner, I won¡¯t forget what I started with. ¡± Joes exined word by word. She was not wrong. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since we¡¯ve decided, we won¡¯t change our mind easily. ¡± President Lin said with confidence. ¡°President Lin is right. She must have chosen to work with President Qiao because she thinks yourpany is capable.¡± Director Bai added. Since they dared to work with an unknown smallpany like hers, they must have taken a fancy to her current performance. However, apany needed to have a good reputation and even a good leader in addition to ability. These were undoubtedly important. CEO Bai and the others had seen through this trait of Joes, and only then did they choose to cooperate. ¡°That¡¯s great. ¡± Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Thank you, aunt Qi

Millie stood at the side and smiled brightly when she saw the scene. She was happy that thepany had business. Even Chen Anna was the same. She gave her good friend a look, feeling extremely happy. The group gathered around the long table, chatting and clinking their sses. In addition, CEO Bai and the other two didn¡¯t have any burdens, so they got along happily. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was on his way to the venue. On the other side, Chen zuolin had also wanted to participate in the fashion show. However, he had been dyed by some matters at home. His mother had said that this was thest time she would speak to him, so he really couldn¡¯t refuse. In the end, he could only give up on the fashion show for the time being. Joes was still unaware of this matter. Even if he knew, he would not know what to say. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Mom,¡± she said. After Chen zuolin pushed open the door of the vi, he immediately saw Qi Yan sitting in the middle. He also knew the pretty girl sitting next to him. It was Bai Lili, the daughter of the Bai family in city H. ...... Seeing this, Chen zuolin¡¯s face turned cold. He put his briefcase aside. Even if he didn¡¯t say anything, he already knew what his mother meant. ¡°Zuolin, you¡¯re back. Come and have a seat. I¡¯m sure you still remember this guy. You guys yed together when you were young.¡± When Qi Yan saw her son return, she quickly stood up and weed him in. She introduced him,¡±¡±This is uncle Bai¡¯s daughter, Lili.¡± After thest incident, Chen zuolin hadn¡¯t made any moves. Qi Yan was so anxious that she thought of this method to call her son back to meet the youngdy of the Bai family. No matter what, they were childhood ymates. Who knew if they had some feelings for each other? Seeing this, Bai Lili also stood up. She was wearing a in white dress, and the ruffled design made her look a little yful. Her appearance was also extremely exquisite. Her fingers clutched the corner of her clothes, and she was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and greeted,¡±¡±Big brother Lin, it¡¯s Lili.¡± After she finished speaking, Bai Lili¡¯s eyes shed with determination, but the Buddha disappeared very quickly. Qi Yan didn¡¯t notice anything. She still had the smile of a richdy on her face as she introduced the girl to Chen zuolin. Li Li ... Chen zuolin narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Childhood ymates. Qi Yan was right about that. Bai Lili had indeed yed with Chen zuolin before. However, that was all in their childhood. Now, the two of them had grown up. Moreover, even back then, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t like this shadow, let alone now. ¡°Zuolin, are you even listening to me?¡± Qi Yan couldn¡¯t help but ask when Chen zuolin didn¡¯t respond. Hearing this, Chen zuolin finally reacted,¡±I heard you, mom. You¡¯re still arranging a meeting for me.¡± He directly pointed out the truth. She didn¡¯t like this kind of thing to begin with, but it was still arranged so hard, so it was normal to be a little emotional. Hearing this, Qi Yan felt a little guilty,¡±¡±Zuolin, isn¡¯t Lili here? I was thinking of letting you two meet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, big brother Lin,¡± Bai Lili quickly chimed in.¡±Auntie Qi didn¡¯t mean anything by it. Please don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± They seemed to have an extremely good rtionship. Chen zuolin furrowed his brows, but he couldn¡¯t just leave. It was even more impossible for him to get along with Bai Lili. ¡°I¡¯ll go upstairs first. ¡± Chen zuolin turned around and walked up the stairs to the second floor after he finished speaking. His back view was resolute, and he left without looking back. ¡°Zuolin, have a meal with Lili. Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Qi Yan pursed her lips. However, all she heard was Chen zuolin¡¯s indifferent reply,¡±¡±No need,¡± Thest thing Qi Yan and Bai Lili saw was the figure who had disappeared at the top of the stairs. Bai Lili¡¯s gaze did not move away for a long time. Her white hands, which were ced by her sides, clenched into fists, but they were in ces where Qi Yan could not see. At that moment, their faces twisted. Chen zuolin¡¯s behavior was truly embarrassing for her, and his mother had witnessed everything. She wondered if Qi Yan would still think that she was a suitable candidate for a daughter-inw after seeing Chen zuolin¡¯s actions. Bai Lili¡¯s heart tightened at the thought of this. She had wanted to marry into the Chen family for a long time. This was an opportunity that he could not miss! Fortunately, Qi Yan didn¡¯t notice her abnormality. She said apologetically,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, Lili. Zuolin is just like that. He¡¯s so stubborn that he doesn¡¯t listen to anyone. I¡¯ll go back and persuade him. You¡¯re such a good girl. If he misses you, it¡¯ll be hard to find another one. ¡± Qi Yan¡¯s tone was filled with worry. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to find a daughter-inw that he liked, and she was even rted to Chen zuolin. In the end, her son did not give her any face. She did not know what to do. The corners of Bai Lili¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. She shook her head and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s alright, aunt Qi. Brother Lin knows what he¡¯s doing. If he really doesn¡¯t want to, it¡¯s no use forcing him. ¡± He had an understanding look. Qi Yan was very pleased. She patted her shoulder and said softly,¡±¡±I knew you¡¯re a good kid. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll have a good talk with zuolin.¡± ¡°Aunt Qi, I¡¯m not as good as you say.¡± Bai Lili lowered her head shyly and nced upstairs. As expected, Chen zuolin, who had been in the study, had no intention ofing out. Seeing this, Qi Yan deliberately frowned and said,¡±¡±You child, Auntie is an understanding person. Of course, I know that you¡¯re a good child. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to see the garden. Zuolin wille down when it¡¯s time for dinner. ¡± After saying that, he took the lead and led the way, ready to take Bai Lili to the back garden of the vi. Of course, Bai Lili would not refuse. She immediately said,¡±¡±Sure, thank you in advance, Auntie Qi.¡± The two of them walked towards the back garden. The door of the study upstairs was still closed. If someone was in the study room, they would be able to see Chen zuolin¡¯s gloomy expression. ¡°Bang!¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s brows couldn¡¯t rx when he thought of the scene downstairs. He mmed the table heavily, making a loud sound. After a long time, he finally calmed down. There were many bookshelves in the study room, filled with books and some folders. When he had time, Chen zuolin woulde to the study to deal with business, but not often. After temporarily putting down the matter downstairs, Chen zuolin¡¯s expression eased a little. He pulled out a book from the shelf and began to read at the desk. Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Definitely can¡¯t be used

However, her mind was not on the Chen family vi. She was thinking about the fashion show at the moment. He wondered how sisi was doing over there. Chen zuolin let out a slight sigh and settled his thoughts, focusing on the book in front of him. As for Jossi, who was on his mind, she was like a fish in water in the fashion show. The jewelry she designed also attracted the attention of many people. In addition to President Bai and the other two, several otherpany bosses hade to discuss cooperation matters with her. As for those who were still observing, they had yet to make a move. Joes, Millie, and Anna Chen finally found a chance to rest after much difficulty. They went to a very remote corner. ¡­¡­¡­ The lighting in this ce was average, but there were prepared chairs next to the long table, making it a good ce to rest. ¡°Huu.¡± Joes took a deep breath, her face flushed red as she held a ss of orange juice in her hand. She had been forced to drink quite a bit of red wine during her conversation with the bosses earlier, and her face had turned a little red. After dragging it out for a while, she took a ss of orange juice and prepared to wake up. Chen Anna also drank quite a bit. Other than Joes, the most stunning thing was the fashion design. ...... Especially the fairy series at the end. Thebination of their designs could be called perfect. Therefore, Anna Chen did not drink any less than Joes. In fact, due to her more forthright personality, she drank even more. ¡°Oh my God, if it wasn¡¯t for my good alcohol tolerance, I would have been drunk just now.¡± Chen Anna shook her head as if she had just survived a disaster. At the same time, he raised a hand to fan his face, hoping to reduce the redness. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling drunk at all,¡± joesse said, raising her eyebrows.¡±I¡¯m not feeling drunk at all.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Chen Anna pouted, expressing her disdain for her friend¡¯s narcissism. Millie couldn¡¯t help butugh as she watched from the side. She took a ss of milk and drank it happily. ¡°By the way, Anna, have you settled on the position of thepany¡¯s chief fashion designer?¡± Joes suddenly remembered the important matter. Chen Anna¡¯s design ability was particrly outstanding. Even in herpany, she was among the best. Logically speaking, after this fashion show, the position of the chief designer should have been stabilized. Chen Anna shook her head and said,¡±¡±It hasn¡¯t been decided yet. There are still otherpetitors in thepany. However, the results of the fashion show areing out soon. If there are no idents, there should not be any problems. ¡± Chen Anna raised her eyebrows andughed,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, what¡¯s there to be worried about when I¡¯m taking action?¡± She had no intention of giving up on this position. If he became thepany¡¯s chief designer, even his sry would increase by a lot, which would bepletely different from now. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that you¡¯re confident. ¡± Joes nodded. She thought that herpany could use a simr method to stimte thepetition of the designers in the design department. He just had to control the extent and not go too far. Otherwise, if it turned out to be like how it was in Shiyupany, it would not be worth it. With so many thoughts in her mind, Joes¡¯s smile was no longer as bright. She took a few steps forward and was about to ce the empty ss on the table when a woman walked towards her with a ss of red wine. It was so fast that no one could react in time. ¡°Hiss.¡± After the violent impact, Joes could not help but take a few steps back and frown. His shoulder was still a little sore, showing that the impact was not small. Not only that, but there was also a wet feeling on her arm. She looked down and saw that the waist area of the long dress was already covered with red wine. The originally beautiful dress was stained with such arge red wine stain, and it suddenly became ugly. ¡°Ah, I bumped into you. I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± Upon hearing this female voice, Joris raised her head and saw a gorgeous face. She was certain that she had never seen this woman before. This woman was dressed in a gorgeous gown, and because she had bumped into Joes, she almost dropped her wine ss. However, her clothes were very clean, not even a drop of red wine was on her. ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Jossi frowned. Since he did not do it on purpose, she could not me him. I¡¯ll just take it that I¡¯m unlucky. Themotion quickly attracted the attention of the others. After seeing this scene, Chen Anna and Miley quickly rushed over. ¡°Sisi, are you okay?¡± Chen Anna said worriedly. Miley also had a worried expression. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Jossi exined.¡±It¡¯s just that my clothes are dirty. I¡¯ll go to the washroom to clean them up.¡± It wasn¡¯t just dirty. This kind of expensive gown was stained with red wine, and there was no way to wear it again. Chen Anna was a little angry. Her eyes fell on the woman and said with dissatisfaction,¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you pay more attention when you walked?¡± Upon hearing this, the woman lowered her head apologetically and said softly,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, miss. I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. As she was in a hurry to find her, she walked a little faster and didn¡¯t notice it. I¡¯m really sorry. ¡± In a short period of time, she had already apologized a few times. Even Chen Anna and Miley couldn¡¯t find any fault with his attitude, so they swallowed their words. ¡°How about ... Ipensate you with the clothes? After all, it was because of me that he became like this. Besides, I can¡¯t wear it like this anymore, miss. Can you give me your phone number? I¡¯llpensate you. ¡± The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with apology. Her words made joesse¡¯s expression ease up a little,¡±¡±It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just a piece of clothing. If it¡¯s dirtied, then so be it. You don¡¯t have to pay.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t need to?¡± The woman was in a difficult position. Upon hearing that, joesse nced at the stain. If she was careful, she might be able to remove it. She didn¡¯t do it on purpose, so there was no need to chase after her. After having an idea, she raised her head and said,¡±¡±No need, just be more careful next time. If you want to find someone, go ahead. I¡¯ll go to the bathroom to clean up.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± The woman looked very grateful. She thanked him directly and ran away in a hurry. Meanwhile, at a ce where Joes and the other two did not notice, the woman was running while looking in a certain direction. In that direction stood a man in a grey suit. The woman gave him a look and quickly ran to the other end of the banquet hall. ¡°Sisi, this dress has be like this. It definitely can¡¯t be used anymore.¡± Anna Chen furrowed her brows as she looked at Joes¡¯s outfit. Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Please think about the consequences

Her fine clothes had been ruined like this. As a fashion designer, Anna Chen could clearly see that this dress was definitely worth more than 10000 Yuan, but she was not sure about the specific price. Such an expensive piece of clothing had been ruined by a ss of red wine. Hearing that, joesse felt a little helpless.¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. That person didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Let¡¯s just forget about it.¡± ¡°The president is too soft-hearted. I hope that person will remember this.¡± Millie chimed in. ¡°Who knows?¡± Chen Anna said. He couldn¡¯t tell if it was intentional, but from the way he apologized just now, it didn¡¯t seem like it was on purpose. Otherwise, those who deliberately bumped into others were usually very arrogant, such as yang Yueyue. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the bathroom to clean up. You guys wait here for me. ¡± Joes ced the empty cup on the long table. After saying goodbye to Chen Anna, she walked toward the washroom outside the banquet hall and had to turn a few corners. There was no one in the corridor. Other than her, it was quiet. She could only hear the echo of her footsteps. Joes was wearing high heels, and her footsteps echoed clearly. ¡°Da da da ...¡± ...... The sound of footsteps could be heard as Jossi quickly walked towards the washroom. However, she kept frowning as she felt that something was not right. It was as if someone was following him. He turned around and saw nothing but the corridor at the end. ¡°He probably drank some wine and is thinking too much.¡± Joes mumbled softly and quickly arrived at the washroom. She looked at the stain on the dress in the mirror. It was indeed not small. She wet the tissue and wiped the area. After it dried, she felt better than before. However, it was still difficult to see. If anyone saw it, it would probably be a continuous stream of questions. Joes did not mind. After cleaning up, she left the washroom. At the next corner, she was about to continue walking when she saw a person in front of her. His back was facing her, and his figure was quite tall. Just as Joes was about to walk around, the man extended his hand and blocked her way. Jossi stopped in her tracks and lifted her head to take a look. She could only see the side of the man¡¯s face. However, the light was a little dim and she could not see it clearly. He could only say ... It was not ugly. After waiting for a while, the man did not seem to have any intention of withdrawing his hand. She coldly asked,¡±¡±Sir, what do you want to do?¡± The only response she got was a chuckle. The man retracted his hand and looked at her with interest. His eyes were long and narrow, containing many emotions. He was wearing a formal suit and was quite handsome. He even wore an ear stud, which was an obvious symbol of his character. For some reason, a thought shed through Jossi¡¯s mind when she saw him, but she could not recall anything. ¡°I don¡¯t want to do anything. I just found you interesting, so I wanted to have a chat with you.¡± The man said with a smile. However, Joes was expressionless.¡±If you have something to say, just say it. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush. Also ... Who are you?¡± At the end of her sentence, a sharp gaze was reflected in her eyes as she focused on the man. Sensing her gaze, the man nced at her and his smile faded a little. ¡°You should be quite familiar with me. You should have heard of Zheng Zeyi, right?¡± The man said as he leaned against the wall. Zheng Zeyi ... Upon hearing this name, joesse¡¯s mind began to race, and her gaze instantly changed. She knew! No wonder she felt that something was wrong when she saw this man. Now that this person had mentioned Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi recalled that he was probably her stepmother¡¯s younger brother, Zheng Zeyu. She had seen Zheng lihan¡¯s face at old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet before. No wonder she found him familiar. He looked like him. As it turned out, Joes ¡®guess was not wrong. At the thought of this, Qiao sisi looked at Zheng Zeyu and her face darkened. She asked,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyu, right? what do you want to do?¡± It was really just a chat like he had said. If he didn¡¯t have any other thoughts, he could find her directly in the banquet hall. Why go through so much trouble and even block people in the aisle? Not everyone was a fool. ¡°Pa pa!¡± At this moment, there was a clear round of apuse in the corridor. It was Zheng Zeyu. After he finished pping, he smiled and said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m indeed Zheng Zeyu, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s younger brother. Nice to meet you.¡± After saying that, Zheng Zeyu extended his hand and put on an extremely friendly look. However, Joes did not have any intention of shaking his hand. She quietly watched his performance. Who knew what kind of tricks he was up to? Upon seeing this, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s smile gradually disappeared and he retracted his hand. ¡°Miss Qiao, why are you looking at me like that? is there something on my face?¡± He pointed at his own face. Joes sneered.¡±I¡¯ve already said it earlier. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know anything.¡± After this sentence, the scene fell into a moment of silence. The two of them did not speak, making the corridor seem quiet and a little creepy. After a long time, Zheng Zeyu finally opened his mouth,¡±¡±You¡¯re Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Jossi, right?¡± He called Zheng Zeyi by his full name as he spoke. It was clear that he had no respect for this brother of his. Fianc¨¦? Joesse pursed her lips. It was not that she was against this, but that the matter of the fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e had not been spread out. Logically speaking, only a few people should know about it, which was the old men and women who had been in old master Zheng¡¯s ward. How did Zheng Zeyu know about it? had the news already spread so far? Many doubts appeared in his heart, but he couldn¡¯t get an answer. Qiao si looked straight at Zheng Zeyu and met his eyes that were filled with jealousy. She said,¡±¡±So what if I am? so what if I am not?¡± ¡°Ha ...¡± Zheng Zeyu sneered. However, the way he looked at Joes had changed, and there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes. Joes was very sensitive. She could sense that the atmosphere had changed and could not help but take a step back. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, this is a fashion show organized by boss Xu. Before you do anything, please think about the consequences.¡± Joes said with a sense of justice. He could be considered to be using the Tiger¡¯s skin as a g. President Xu was one of the more powerful people in city H. The Zheng Corporation did not belong to Zheng Zeyu, but to Zheng Zeyi. To be honest, even Zheng Zeyu had to be very polite when he saw President Xu. Chapter 289

Chapter 289: What else do I have to worry about

Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, a few men in suits walked out of the banquet hall and were leaving in a hurry. He did not even look at Joes and Nangong wuque when he passed by. However, with the help of someone else, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s attitude took a 180-degree turn.¡±Sister-inw, what are you saying? I¡¯m not that kind of person. I just saw that you were at the fashion show and I wasn¡¯t sure if it was you, so I followed you out to confirm. ¡± Zheng Zeyu smiled as he finished his sentence. He even nced at the men who were leaving. He was also the CEO of anotherpany. It was best to hide such a thing if possible. The men didn¡¯t notice that the conversation wasn¡¯t out of ce. Even if they weren¡¯t in a hurry, they didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong with the conversation. Upon hearing that, Joes¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile.¡±¡±You¡¯re quite good at acting. Why don¡¯t you just enter the entertainment industry? Why are you fighting with Zheng Zeyi? with your acting skills, if you enter the entertainment industry, I can guarantee that you¡¯ll be able to outshine all those old actors. ¡± On the surface, it was an exaggeration, but in reality, it was mockery. ¡°You!¡± Zheng Zeyu was suddenly rebuked, and a frown appeared between his eyebrows. This Qiao sisi was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. It was no wonder that Zheng ze would take a fancy to her. ...... Seeing that Zheng Zeyi did not speak for a long time, Qiao si could not be bothered to continue conversing with him. She said directly,¡±¡±If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± With that, she was about to leave, but Zheng Zeyu did not have that intention and quickly blocked her. ¡°Don¡¯t leave. ¡± Zheng Zeyu spat out these three words, but what he got in return was a coldugh from Jossi. Did he really think that he was Zheng Zeyi? He looked like a domineering CEO. Perhaps he was too into his character. Joes had no intention of talking to him any further. Her only thought was to return to the banquet hall. There was no one else here, and it was actually more dangerous. However, no matter how he tried to change his position, he was still blocked in the end. Zheng Zeyu was determined not to let her leave. ¡°Zheng Zeyu!¡± She could not take it anymore.¡±What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°Do you want to cooperate?¡± Very quickly, Zheng Zeyu revealed his true motive, and his eyes were filled with ferocity. He looked as if he would take action if Joes did not cooperate, but a certain someone was not afraid. ¡°Cooperation?¡± Joes retorted,ughing in her heart, but not showing it on her face. At this moment, she finally understood what Zheng Zeyu was up to. He actually wanted to work with her ... Qiao sisi did not know how to describe it. Was Zheng Zeyu too naive? Did he think that she would cooperate with him? Zheng Zeyu did not know what Qiao sisi was thinking and continued,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, I¡¯m sure you know a lot about him. In exchange, I can give you what you want. Even if I take over the Zheng Corporation in the future, you¡¯ll still have a ce, provided that you¡¯re useful. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was firm, as if he had already decided that Joes would definitely work with him. With this doubt in her heart, Jossi asked,¡±¡±Wait, you mean you know what I want?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zheng Zeyu raised his eyebrows. The most important thing to joesse right now was the star Yuan design. As long as it could bring thepany to a higher level, he felt that joesse would not reject such a good deal. ¡°I know that yourpany in star dors is only a small one. I can give you something. That is, if I be the CEO of the Zheng Corporation in the future. I¡¯ll also make yourpany stronger and bigger. ¡± Zheng Zeyu made a solemn vow and extended his olive branch. However, such an item was not attractive to Joes. And ... Joes pursed her lips and said with a hint of mockery,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyu, I¡¯m very curious. How did you say all this so seriously? Or do you think that Zheng Zeyi can¡¯t give me what you¡¯ve given me? What aughable cooperation. ¡± Jossi had no interest in the so-called cooperation. As expected, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face darkened immediately after hearing her words. He red at Qiao si. ¡°But are you sure he¡¯ll give it to you?¡± There was a hint of anger in his voice. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s goal was to deal with Zheng Zeyi. As his fianc¨¦e, Qiao sisi would definitely know a lot of things that were not known to the public. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to win this person over to his side, but in the end, this person actually didn¡¯t like him? That was true. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s current status was iparable to Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. One was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. The other was an illegitimate child who couldn¡¯t even interfere with thepany¡¯s affairs now. Joes crossed her arms and smiled,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll give it to me, but I know. You can¡¯t give me any of these because you have no chance to be the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. ¡± His tone rose slightly. After she finished speaking, Qiao sisi turned around and prepared to leave, not caring about Zheng Zeyu¡¯s emotions at all. After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression changed instantly. Dark clouds covered his face, as if water would drip out at any moment. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth,¡±¡±Are you sure you want to do this? If you don¡¯t cooperate, you¡¯ll be an enemy too. ¡± Joes stopped in her tracks and sneered,¡±¡±Since you¡¯ve said so, then we¡¯ll be enemies. I don¡¯t mind.¡± No matter what, Zheng Zeyi was still her friend. Furthermore, she did not know this Zheng Zeyu at all. She must have been too afraid of Zheng Zeyi, which was why she had asked about the cooperation as soon as she hade up to him, just to bring him down. ¡°Stop!¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s voice came from behind her. Qiao sisi did not even turn her head and even quickened her pace. Zheng Zeyu was definitely up to no good. Qiao Si was very clear in her heart, but she had only taken a few steps when Zheng Zeyu sensed that she had no intention of stopping and hurriedly chased after her. Because of his fast speed, he caught up in a few steps. His eyes were dark as he said,¡±¡±You¡¯ve already considered the consequences?¡± Qiao sisi did not say a word, but her footsteps were still slower in her high heels, and Zheng Zeyu caught up to her. She stood in front of him and squinted her eyes.¡±Get out of the way.¡± Who knew that after hearing this, Zheng Zeyu didn¡¯t take it to heart, but his hostility became even stronger. Heughed and said,¡±¡±Since we can¡¯t be partners, what else do I have to worry about? If you want to leave, you can do so. Tell me ... What project has Zheng Zeyi been working on recently?¡± The amount of information given by these words could be said to be veryrge. Project? Chapter 290 - No one dares to do this

Chapter 290: No one dares to do this

Qiao Si was stunned for a moment, but a doubt emerged in her heart. What project has Zheng Zeyi been working on recently? Although she could not tell, as apetitor, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s information should be urate. She calmed herself down and said,¡±I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. You should ask Zheng Zeyi about this.¡± ¡°You must know about this. If you don¡¯t tell me ... Don¡¯t even think about going back to the banquet hall today.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s voice was very cold. Joes also believed that he was capable of doing it. However, regarding the project ... She really did not know. Even if she did, she would not tell Zheng Zeyu. Zheng Zeyi had saved her so many times, and she would not be ungrateful. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know. ¡± Joes replied calmly, but she was thinking about how to escape from this ce. She had never interacted with Zheng Zeyu before, but this stepmother¡¯s son was definitely not a kind person. Zheng Zeyuughed coldly. It was obvious that he did not believe what Joes had said at all. Since they were engaged, how could they not know about this? he had heard from others that Zheng Zeyi liked this taste. Zheng Zeyu clenched his fists behind his back, trying to hide the gloominess in his eyes.¡±¡±I advise you to be more tactful.¡± ...... The atmosphere was tense. Joes raised her head slightly and looked at the face that resembled Zheng lihan ¡®s. As expected, they were father and son, with the same greed. She didn¡¯t speak for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. At this moment, a voice broke the silence,¡±¡±What ... Are you trying to persuade someone to be more tactful?¡± His voice was extremely maic and carried a hint of coldness. The source of the sound was in the opposite direction of the banquet hall, which was the direction of the venue. Upon hearing this voice, Jossi was stunned. She was extremely familiar with this voice. There was only one person who was frustrated, and that was Zheng Zeyi! Zheng Zeyu was also stunned for a moment. He turned his back to the source of the sound, and his face twisted for a moment before he calmed down. He clenched his fist even harder, and even the veins on the back of his hand could be clearly seen. There was a sh of panic in Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes. It was clear that he was still very afraid of his so-called brother. Joes, on the other hand, did not have so many thoughts. With a look of joy on her face, she turned around and saw that figure. The person was dressed in a perfectly tailored ck suit. His steps were steady and his aura was astonishing. His handsome face was even more eye-catching under the soft light, and his deep eyes were like whirlpools, not to mention his perfect figure. Qiao si si admitted that Zheng Zeyu had the capital to be the male God of all girls, whether it was his looks or his family background. With such aparison, Zheng Zeyu was instantly reduced to dust. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, why did you onlye now?¡± Qiao si smiled and quickly walked over before Zheng Zeyu could react. By the time she realized what was going on, she had already walked quite a distance away. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arrival could be said to have saved her from the fire and water. Otherwise, she did not know what Zheng Zeyu would do in a situation where no one was passing through this corridor. Unsurprisingly, Zheng Zeyi had saved her once again. The smile on Qiao SI¡¯s lips deepened, and she looked at Zheng Zeyi with gratitude. She mouthed,¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. These two short words made Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression ease up a little. He strode over to Joes and stood beside her, facing Zheng Zeyu who was not far away. Assistant li, who was standing behind him, did not dare to speak. He kept feeling as if he had witnessed something big. She had to admit that the president was really domineering! Zheng Zeyu, those words just now ... You should admit that you were the one who said them, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi said yfully. Zheng Zeyu was furious, but he still forced a fake smile on his face.¡±¡±Brother, don¡¯t talk nonsense. I was just saying hello to sister-inw. I didn¡¯t say anything. Am I right, sister-inw?¡± At the end of his sentence, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s gaze fell on Jossi. ¡°Whatever you say.¡± Joes chuckled. There were only four people present. Moreover, they were all discerning people. Even if Zheng Zeyu quibbled, what could they do? they had already seen what had happened. Zheng Zeyi also knew that if he had not been around just now, Zheng Zeyu would very likely have made a move on Qiao sisi. His eyes darkened at the thought of this. ¡°By the way, brother, there are still people waiting in the banquet hall. Since sister-inw and brother have already met, I won¡¯t disturb you two.¡± Zheng Zeyu smiled as he finished his sentence. He was about to leave when Zheng Zeyi stopped him. ¡°Wait,¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slightly cold voice was heard. Zheng Zeyu wanted to leave immediately, but the feeling of danger made him unable to lift his feet. It was as if there was a ferocious beast staring at him from behind, and he would pounce on him if he took a step. Zheng Zeyi looked at his so-called younger brother¡¯s back coldly and said word by word,¡±¡±What did you do to my fianc¨¦e just now? no one is a fool. But Zheng Zeyu, I¡¯m warning you, there are some people you can¡¯t touch. If you do ... You have to think about the consequences. ¡± Her voice was still maic as it came to Zheng Zeyu¡¯s ears with the wind. However, Qiao si also felt a chill when she heard that. She only felt that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s aura was overbearing. As expected of someone who had been in power for so many years. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s smile froze on his face. He could not ignore the hatred and jealousy in the depths of his eyes. Not only did he hate Zheng Zeyi, but he was also jealous of the high and mighty President of the Zheng Corporation. On what basis could Zheng Zeyi be the president while he could not? He was also a child of the Zheng family, but because of old master Zheng¡¯s words, no matter how hard he tried, he was not fated to be the CEO! Hatred welled up in Zheng Zeyu¡¯s heart. He suppressed the rity in his heart and squeezed out a few words,¡±¡±Brother, what are you saying?¡± After a pause, he forced a smile and continued,¡±¡±Who would have the guts to touch sister-inw? You¡¯re the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, no one would dare to do that. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s the best. ¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at him coldly, then held joesse¡¯s hand and walked towards the banquet hall. Seeing this, assistant li quickly followed him without looking at Zheng Zeyu. On the other hand, Jossi was a little embarrassed as she looked at the two of them holding hands. The warmth of their hands made her face burn. Chapter 291 - You should still remember me

Chapter 291: You should still remember me

The two of them gradually disappeared from the banquet hall¡¯s entrance. Assistant li also quickly walked in. In the empty corridor, only Zheng Zeyu remained at his original spot, unwilling to move. ¡°Zheng Zeyi ...¡± The words were squeezed out of his clenched teeth, filled with intense hatred and jealousy. Thinking about what had happened just now, Zheng Zeyu was so angry that he punched the wall beside him, making a ¡°bang¡± sound. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that there was no one nearby, they would have been attracted by themotion. Zheng Zeyi took a deep breath, but there was still a sense of depression in his chest that could not be dispelled. He stared fixedly in the direction of the banquet hall¡¯s entrance. That damned Zheng Zeyi. If he wasn¡¯t the CEO of the Zheng Corporation, she wouldn¡¯t have to care about him so much. ¡°I don¡¯t know what the old man is thinking. He actually chose him and not me.¡± Zheng Zeyu furrowed his brows tightly. After calming himself down, his eyes darkened as he walked towards the banquet hall. No matter what, her father still had shares in the Zheng Corporation. This was a fact that could not be changed. As long as he had the shares, he would still have a chance to be the president of the Zheng Corporation. As long as he could pull Zheng ze down! ...... Zheng Zeyu could not be bothered anymore. The only thought he had now was to be an existence above everyone else. The Zheng family could only be his! ¡­¡­¡­ Qiao si could guess Zheng Zeyu¡¯s thoughts even if she used her toes. She could not help but ask the man beside her,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, you should know what Zheng Zeyu is trying to do.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± A faint voice came from above. Qiao si blinked her eyes. It was good that he knew. Zheng ze should know what to do and did not need her to remind him. Moreover, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s methods were much simpler than she had imagined, so it was easier to deal with him. After making up her mind, Jossi did not say anything else. At this moment, the two of them entered the banquet hall. Standing at the entrance of the banquet hall, one could clearly see the well-dressed leaders inside. At this moment, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn over. It was not because of Qiao sisi¡¯s presence, but because of Zheng Zeyi who was beside her. The crowd was silent for a moment, and then there were many whispers. ¡°President Zheng? President Zheng is here too. I thought he wouldn¡¯t be here at this time. ¡± ¡°No matter what time President Zhenges, he¡¯ll probably be wee.¡± ¡°By the way ... Who¡¯s that woman standing next to President Zheng? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever seen her before.¡± At this moment, a woman¡¯s topic shifted to Jossi, and everyone¡¯s attention was immediately diverted. What surprised them was that there was a woman standing next to Zheng Zeyi! What was going on? Most of the people in the banquet hall had shocked expressions on their faces and could not react for a long time. President Xu and a few other bosses of thepany were the first to notice them. They quickly walked over and stood in front of the two. ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯re finally here. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡± President Xu said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he politely extended his hand. Zheng ze nced at Qiao si SI¡¯s expression and knew that she was probably on good terms with CEO Xu. He was still very clear about the so-called cooperation. ¡°You¡¯re too polite, President Xu. ¡± Zheng Zeyi revealed a faint smile and also extended his hand to shake her hand, giving her face. If not for joesse, it was still uncertain if the scene would be as harmonious as it was now. ¡°President Zheng, long time no see.¡± The otherpany bosses also greeted him. Some of them even had fawning expressions on their faces, which showed how powerful Zheng Zeyi was in city H. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time,¡± Although Zheng Zeyi¡¯s response was very perfunctory, it was enough to make these CEOs feel a little more at ease. At this moment, the few of them also noticed joesse who was beside them. ¡°President Qiao, why did youe in with President Zheng?¡± President Xu thought for a while and asked in confusion. Joesughed awkwardly. This ... How should she reply? It was impossible to tell the truth. After organizing her words in her heart, she opened her mouth slightly and said,¡±I just went to the bathroom to clean my clothes. When I came out, I met President Zheng. Since President Zheng had just arrived, I went back to the banquet hall with him. ¡± During this time, Joes had a gentle smile on her face and even pointed at the red wine stains on her body. This time, the stains were not as shocking as before, but they still left a very ugly mark. At the very least, her perfect clothes were now ruined by her dirty body. When they entered, Qiao si si had been using her hands to cover the stains, so Zheng ze did not see it. He immediately reacted. His eyes darkened and he said in a low voice,¡±¡±Who did this?¡± His tone was a little dangerous, but Joes was not surprised at all. If she said that someone did it on purpose, this Big Boss might help her teach him a lesson. With this thought in mind, the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched and she quickly said,¡±¡±No, no, I didn¡¯t mean it. He¡¯s already apologized to me. It¡¯s just that his clothes were dirtied, it¡¯s not a big deal. ¡± Between the lines, it expressed that he was not going to look into it. Since she had already said so, Zheng Zeyi did not harp on this and nodded slightly. Just as they were talking, another CEO of anotherpany came in with a woman. She was dressed in a grand manner and had exquisite makeup on. One look and one could tell that she was a socialite. Joes raised her head and saw that the woman was staring at her with a profound look in her eyes. She could not help but frown. It shouldn¡¯t be her illusion. This woman seemed to be hostile to her ... ¡°President Zheng, long time no see. You should still remember me, the president of the qu Corporation.¡± The middle-aged man introduced himself. The smile on his face showed a hint of ttery. The qu Corporation and the Zheng Corporation were nothing inparison. CEO qu wanted to please Zheng Zeyi and gain some benefits from it. Otherwise, he would not havee over now. ¡°President qu ... I remember.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was calm as he nced at CEO qu. His face was indeed familiar. As soon as he finished, the two women also impatiently said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I¡¯m qu ya.¡± Qu ya, the daughter of President qu. She even reached out to shake Zheng ze¡¯s hand, but he had no intention of doing so. He did not even look at her. He showedplete disdain. ¡°Uh,¡± Seeing this, the smile on qu ya¡¯s face froze for a moment, and her hand stopped in mid-air for a long time. Chapter 292

Chapter 292: President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦

He couldn¡¯t take it back, nor could he not take it back. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on qu ya. Her face was burning, and in the end, she could only sheepishly withdraw her hand. However, if someone paid attention, they would be able to see the gloominess that shed past her eyes. And the blue veins that appeared on his hands. It had to be said that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s behavior had really embarrassed her in front of the public. However, Zheng Zeyi had no reason to care about these things. He had to bear the consequences if he was in a hurry. The scene was very awkward for a moment, and it suddenly became silent. After President qu noticed it, he gave his daughter a look and exined,¡±¡±President Zheng, it¡¯s good that you remember. By the way, this is my daughter. She just said her name, and President Zheng should have met her once at the banquet, but it¡¯s been so long, so I don¡¯t think she has any impression of her. ¡± President qu pretended to be forthright and secretly brought qu ya to Zheng Zeyi. A few years ago, there had been a banquet, and the qu corporation¡¯s CEO had been there. In order to find a rich husband for his daughter, he had specially brought qu ya along. The main purpose at that time was actually Zheng Zeyi. However, Zheng Zeyi could not be bothered. As for the others, there was almost no one better than him. ...... Therefore, at the end of that banquet, qu ya had also returned in defeat. She had not expected to see this person again. ¡°Hello, President Zheng.¡± A weak voice sounded. Qu ya looked a little nervous. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head slightly, trying to show her shy side. If she could marry into the Zheng family, her status would also rise. The distance between the two of them had shrunk quite a bit, causing the corner of Qiao SI¡¯s eyes, who was standing beside Zheng ze, to Twitch. ¡°This President qu wants to give his daughter away.¡± Joes sighed in her heart and looked at the perfect side profile of the man beside her. However, this man did have the capital to do so. Zheng Zeyi took a step back and put some distance between them. He smiled and said,¡±President qu is right. I really don¡¯t have any impression.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any impression of him ... It¡¯s fine, we can get to know each other now.¡± President qu also felt a little embarrassed, but he still insisted. No... No impression? Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words had shattered all of qu ya¡¯s confidence. He was full of anticipation, and in the end, he got this sentence? However, qu ya could not lose herposure in public, not to mention that Zheng Zeyi was standing in front of her. She did not dare to make any moves. ¡°Y-Y-yes.¡± Qu ya squeezed out these words with great difficulty. However, the arrogance that she had earlier hadpletely disappeared. The person who stood in front of Zheng Zeyi now seemed like a joke. Even President Xu and the others didn¡¯t know what to say. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Qu ya was still unwilling to give up. She turned her gaze to Joes, who was standing in front of her, and a glint shed across her eyes. Who was this woman? What right did she have to stand beside Zheng Zeyi? The strong sense of inferiority also aroused the resentment in qu ya¡¯s heart. She suppressed her emotions and still had a smile on her face. ¡°President Zheng, this is ...¡± Qu ya¡¯s voice was so loud that not only the few people present, but even the people nearby had noticed. Furthermore, they were curious as to who Qiao si si was to Zheng Zeyi. As the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, there were only a few people who seemed close to Zheng Zeyi. But this President Qiao, who had participated in a fashion show, actually had such great ability? Even President Xu and the others couldn¡¯t help but be curious. When she heard him asking about her identity, Qiao si could not help but look at Zheng Zeyi. The two of them kept a distance from each other. Joes had already let go of their hands the moment they entered the banquet hall. Not far ahead, qu ya was extremely concerned about the answer to this question, and her eyes kept darting between the two people. When he looked at Joes, he was a little jealous, but he concealed it very well and no one noticed. ¡°She ...¡± A maic voice sounded. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes swept across the banquet hall and noticed that many people were looking at them. The corners of his lips lifted slightly. As if he was considering, Zheng Zeyi looked at Joes with a smile, but she looked away in a panic. Seeing this scene, the smile on his lips deepened. It seemed that things were still developing in a good direction, such as now. Zheng Zeyi made up his mind and chuckled.¡±¡±You know President Qiao ... She¡¯s my fianc¨¦e.¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The crowd was in an uproar. This sentence was like a heavy bomb. Joes did not expect him to say it so directly. She was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to respond. As if he felt that the matter was not serious enough, Zheng ze took the opportunity to hold joesse¡¯s hand. Before she could react, he raised their tightly sped hands and exposed them to the crowd. For a moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with the sound of gasps and many exmations. Joes finally reacted as well. A look of shock shed across her eyes as she looked at the two of them holding hands, forming a sharp contrast. What was Zheng Zeyi doing? With that thought in mind, Joes could not help but ask. She lowered her voice to ensure that only the two of them could hear. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened and he replied in a low voice,¡±¡±It will happen sooner orter, don¡¯t worry.¡± Joesse,¡±what sooner orter?¡± Faced with his future wife¡¯s confusion, Zheng Zeyi raised his brows slightly and responded with an ambiguous look. Then, he said to the crowd,¡±¡±This matter hasn¡¯t been announced to the public yet, so not many people know about it. However, it will be announced to the public in the next few days. By then, you will know that she is my fianc¨¦e. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was full of love, and his hand movements were very gentle. His words had also broken the fantasies of many of the female guests present. Joesse pursed her lips slightly, her gazeplicated. After all, this matter had been made public before she had even agreed. Now that they were in public, it would be the most embarrassing thing if they argued. Helplessly, he could only suppress the words in his heart and reveal a helpless smile. This matter was not a small matter to Jossi. After she left the banquet hall, she had to get to the bottom of this! The crowd was also in an uproar. ¡°That woman is President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e?!¡± Someone who didn¡¯t know what was going on eximed. Other than him, the other people in the banquet hall felt the same way. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard that President Zheng has a fianc¨¦e. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any news about it.¡± Chapter 293

Chapter 293: I¡¯m going to find my friend first

¡°I remember there was one a year ago, at President Xiang¡¯spany. Could it be the current president Qiao?¡± ¡°In just a short year, such a huge change has happened?¡± ¡°President Zheng hasn¡¯t been close to women all these years. Now that he¡¯s making such a serious announcement, it¡¯s most likely already decided.¡± ¡°Who knows why?¡± a certain woman said with jealousy. ¡­¡­¡­ Some of them even knew what had happened a year ago. After all, there were so many people here, and there would definitely be some who knew Xiang Jinyu. However, she did not appear here today. There were countless suchments, and Jossi had only heard a portion of them. The scene gradually heated up. Before President Xu and the others spoke, they all organized their words. ¡°I see. I didn¡¯t know about that. But congrattions to President Zheng and President Qiao for getting married.¡± President Xu smiled warmly. ¡°Yeah, congrattions to President Zheng and President Qiao.¡± Director Bai and the others also said the same thing. Only President qu and qu ya didn¡¯t react for a long time, as if they had heard something big. Wasn¡¯t that the case for them? ...... Qu ya¡¯s original n was to use all means to get close to Zheng Zeyi, but now it was exposed that Zheng Zeyi already had a fianc¨¦e? ¡°This is nothing!¡± Qu ya shouted angrily in her heart. The expression on her face was also a little sullen as she stared straight at Zheng Zeyi. She looked like an abandoned widow. Fortunately, Mr. Qu had been in the business world for so many years. When he thought of his actions just now, he wiped the sweat off his forehead in embarrassment. ¡°President Zheng, you really don¡¯t show off, you even have a fianc¨¦e,¡± he quickly said. But you¡¯re young and promising, so it¡¯s not too surprising to say that it¡¯s an ident, little ya!¡± After he finished speaking, President qu red at his daughter. That attitude ... Even he could tell that something was wrong. Now that Zheng Zeyu had already revealed his fianc¨¦e, he could not be too obvious. Upon hearing this, qu ya came back to her senses. Her face twisted for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and forced out a few words.¡±Congrattions, President Zheng and President Qiao.¡± Even joesse felt a little relieved when she gritted her teeth. This woman had been hostile to her for no reason from the beginning. It turned out that she was trying to get Zheng Zeyi. She smiled and linked her arm with Zheng Zeyi ¡®s, pretending to be intimate for everyone to see. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. This sentence was directed at qu ya. Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and moved closer to Joes without a sound so that her hand-holding would be more natural. This detail was also noticed by President Xu and other people. He could not help but sigh. This was the first time he had seen President Zheng care so much about a woman. It seemed like joesse¡¯s status would definitely be different from before. This B * tch! Qu ya was no fool. Of course, she knew that joesse was trying to embarrass her. Everyone had probably seen how he had fawned over Zheng Zeyi just now, but now he had been pped in the face. She almost lost control of herself and wanted to rush up and scratch joesse¡¯s face. However, she managed to control herself in the end. If she were to do this in public, not only would she lose her reputation, Zheng Zeyi would definitely not let her have an easy time. Finally, qu ya took a deep breath and endured it. She looked at Jossi with a gaze that could not be dispelled. She held her breath and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re too kind, President Qiao. ¡± The tit-for-tat between the two of them was extremely obvious. President qu saw that the situation was not right and quickly went forward to pull his daughter over, revealing an embarrassed smile. ¡°President Qiao, President Zheng, I still have something to talk about, so I¡¯ll take my daughter over first.¡± With that, he hurriedly left with qu ya, who had an unwilling look on her face. If he stayed here any longer, he couldn¡¯t guarantee what would happen, so it was better to leave as soon as possible. The background of the father and daughter was rather pathetic. Joes looked away after a nce, and the smile on her lips faded. If qu ya had not been hostile to her, she would not have done this. Zheng Zeyi also smiled, but the emotions in his eyes were unclear. Regardless of whether they were intentional or not, he had already achieved his goal, so he couldn¡¯t be bothered with them. He simply couldn¡¯t cause any waves. ¡°President Zheng, I heard that the Zheng¡¯s group is expanding overseas?¡± At this moment, President Xu suddenly said. The words weren¡¯t very clear, but one could still get a lot of information from them. Knowing this news meant that the Xu Corporation was not bad. At least, they had a good rtionship with Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi nodded his head slightly in silent agreement. Expand and develop ... Qiao sisi, who was standing at the side, started to get excited as she recalled the project that Zheng Zeyi had mentioned earlier. Judging from his expression, it must be a project that could help the Zheng Corporation to take a step further. Old master Zheng already had high hopes for this eldest grandson. If Zheng Zeyipleted it, it would be time for him to hand thepany over to him. Qiao sisi was not clear about the Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s shares. However, she had studied abroad for a year and understood this simple principle. The project that Zheng Zeyu mentioned should be rted to this if nothing unexpected happened. Moreover, the rtionship between the Zheng family was very clear now. Zheng Zeyi could only rely on himself. At the thought of this, Qiao sisi¡¯s heart ached for Zheng Zeyi. Everything else aside, their family situations were too simr. Both of them had met such a scumbag biological father. Qiao si sighed slightly. As she listened to the conversation between Zheng Zeyi and President Xu, she became more and more certain. ¡°Boss Xu, you do know a lot. That¡¯s true.¡± Zheng Zeyi had no intention of hiding anything and admitted to this matter openly. Joes had already guessed that this would be the result. She paid attention to the expressions of the bosses of the otherpanies around her. After hearing this, boss Xu was slightly stunned. Manypany bosses were also a little surprised. The Zheng¡¯s group was indeed the leadingpany. They already had businesses overseas and it seemed like they were going to expand their business overseas. The people present were all smart, and most of them had their own thoughts. President Xu also smiled and congratted,¡±¡±Then I¡¯d like to congratte President Zheng on the sess of the project. I also wee President Zheng to participate in this fashion show.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite. ¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up. His invitation this time was personally given by President Xu. Chen zuolin had also received an invitation and was prepared toe today. Unfortunately, his ns couldn¡¯t keep up with the changes. Qiao si frowned when she saw Zheng Zeyi and President Xu talking about business. She patted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arm and said softly,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯ll go and find my friend first.¡± Chapter 294

Chapter 294: What shoulde ... Still came

Friend? Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi immediately turned his head, his eyes filled with doubt.¡±¡±What friend?¡± With that look, Qiao sisi even suspected if the person in front of her was the real Zheng Zeyi or if he had been reced. Why would the high and mighty President of the Zheng¡¯s group care about who her friend was? Even though she felt a little helpless, Joes still replied,¡±¡±Anna and my assistant.¡± It just so happened that Zheng Zeyi and President Xu might be talking about cooperation at this time, and it was not convenient for her to listen to these words. This could be considered her way of doing things. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng ze understood and said in a maic voice,¡±¡±Go, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± It was extremely alluring. Even joesse, who was used to this, felt her heart go numb and blinked her eyes. After saying her goodbyes, she quickly left the area and walked towards the corner where Chen Anna and the other woman were. The crowd¡¯s gaze that was initially on Zheng Zeyi shifted with the departure of joesse. Joes quickened her pace and ignored the heated gazes of the crowd. Finally, she returned to the corner and sat on the chair. ...... Everyone¡¯s gaze also dispersed a little, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. However, there were still many people who were paying attention to Joes¡¯s side. Some of them were even tempted toe over and have a chat. However, no one wanted to be the first to stand out, so they all temporarily suppressed their anger. Joes heaved a sigh of relief, but before she could rest for a while, Anna Chen came over and asked curiously,¡±¡±Sisi, don¡¯t hide it from me. I saw what happened just now. Tell me the truth, what¡¯s your rtionship with Zheng Zeyi now? are you really engaged?¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t believe what she was saying. After a year, he thought that joesse would return to be with Chen zuolin. However, things had developed in a strange direction. In the end, after such a long time, when she looked back, it was still Zheng Zeyi. After hearing this, the corner of Joes¡¯s eyes twitched. She understood Chen Anna and knew that she was probably having a huge drama in her heart. Even Millie, who was beside him, had some questions to ask, but she held back and did not ask. After a while, she said,¡±¡±Things are a littleplicated now, I can¡¯t tell you. I¡¯ll exin it to youter.¡± ¡°This ... Alright.¡± Seeing her expression, Chen Anna was full of doubts, but she did not continue to ask. She let her sit quietly for a while to sort out her thoughts. Joes was in aplicated mood at the moment. She took a ss of orange juice and gulped it down. He only felt a little better after drinking the cold drink. The current situation was that Zheng Zeyi had already announced to the public that they were engaged, and she, Qiao si, was temporarily tied to the Zheng¡¯S corporation. Even though he had agreed to it in front of old master Zheng and the others at the private hospital, this was too fast! Furthermore, she had sensed that she had some feelings for Zheng Zeyi, but she had not made a decision yet. At the thought of this, Joes furrowed her brows and ced the empty cup aside. Since it had already happened, there was no point in regretting it. She could only wait for the banquet to end and discuss a solution with Zheng Zeyi. They would either rify or continue. As that handsome face appeared in her mind, joesse¡¯s heart started beating faster, like a little deer running around. She wasn¡¯t a fool. She could still distinguish some of the changes in her body, at least in this matter. After recognizing her feelings, the emotions in her eyes were unclear. ¡°Sigh ...¡± Joes let out a soft sigh and suppressed these thoughts to the bottom of her heart, forcing out a smile. Then, she vaguely exined to Chen Anna,¡±¡±Anna, Zheng Zeyi and I are actually considered fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e now.¡± ¡°What do you mean by considered? Is he or is he not?¡± Chen Anna almost couldn¡¯t control herself and mmed the table. After hearing these two words, she forced herself to calm down. The word ¡®considered¡¯ had many meanings. Joes nodded.¡±It is now. It¡¯s hard to say the exact situation now. But it¡¯s enough that you know this for now.¡± If Chen Anna knew that he had made a promise in the hospital, he would probably beughed at. ¡°Alright, as long as you know what you¡¯re doing,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡± Joes gave her friend a faint smile. Her smile was a little dazzling under the soft light. ¡°Actually, if we¡¯re really going to talk about it, I think Zheng ze and you are already considered pretty good.¡± Chen Anna said the truth. She paused for a moment before she continued,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t really like him before, but if he¡¯s good to you, it¡¯s not uneptable,¡± After all, Zheng Zeyi was also a famous tall, rich, and handsome man in city H. Not only that, but he was also good to Joes. In this way, his good friend would not be at a disadvantage. Apart from that, Zheng Zeyi had helped her a lot behind the scenes. Chen Anna was not aware of many of the things he had done. If she had known, she would have changed her opinion of the CEO of the Zheng Corporation. Faced with Anna Chen¡¯s thoughts, the corner of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. She did not know how to answer. Millie, however, caught the main point.¡±¡±President, now that President Zheng has revealed this matter, I think everyone in the banquet hall has their own thoughts.¡± After saying that, Joes secretly scanned her surroundings. Sure enough, just as Millie had said, many people were paying attention to the direction they were in. Even though they were holding their wine sses and chatting with the others on the surface, their eyes all fell on this side at the same time. There were even some people who didn¡¯t hide it at all and stared straight at it, almost writing their purpose on their faces. The only good thing was that no one hade to question him yet. ¡°President, what do we do now?¡± Millie asked, puzzled. After going through so many changes in such a short period of time, Joes calmed down and a glint shed across her eyes.¡±¡±Now ... I¡¯ll respond to all changes by not changing.¡± If someone really came to ask, he would just answer directly. Zheng Zeyi had already announced it. If she did not choose to rify on the spot, she could only ept this identity for the time being. After all, she could still look for Zheng Zeyi after the banquet. ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie nodded, took a few desserts from the long table, and ced them on the small table in front of the seat. The three of them sat together in a corner. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the incident just now had attracted too much attention, there probably wouldn¡¯t be so many people eyeing them covetously now. Joes held a silver spoon in her hand. The back of the silver spoon clearly reflected her own reflection. And not far away, someone was walking towards them. What was supposed toe ... Still came. Chapter 295

Chapter 295: You said that on purpose, right?

After joesse discovered this through the silver spoon, she took a bite of the dessert without any change in expression. The sweet taste slightly improved his mood. Joes had already expected this to happen long before the incident happened, so she was not too surprised. Very quickly, the few women arrived in front of joesse and the other two. Due to theck of light, the women blocked the banquet hall¡¯s light, causing the three of them to be covered in shadows. After Chen Anna came to her senses, she frowned and put down the te in her hand. She raised her head slightly and couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±You guys are?¡± There were three women standing in front of her. Joes had seen one of them just now. It was qu ya, who had embarrassed herself at the entrance of the banquet hall. Joes did not expect that qu ya would still dare to provoke her after what had just happened. She was really bold. Apart from qu ya, he was not too sure about the other two Josse, but they should be socialites. Those who could attend this fashion show were definitely of high status. One of the two women was wearing a white gown, while the other was wearing a wine-red gown. There was a sharp contrast, but both of them were gorgeous, at least enough to support the dress. ...... If not for that, they would not have chosen to wear such eye-catching dresses at such an asion. Qu ya stood at the front of the group and put on a fake smile.¡±¡±I¡¯m qu ya. I just met President Qiao. I¡¯m here to introduce my friend to you.¡± The ¡®friends¡¯ she was referring to were the two women beside her. They both put on an arrogant expression. With that, qu ya looked at joesse with a smile, but her eyes were filled with jealousy. This position was quite far from the banquet hall¡¯s entrance. However, due to the distance, he did not know what qu ya looked like. After hearing this voice, the two of them finally reacted. Before Joes could speak, Anna Chen spoke first,¡±¡±Miss qu, I know you. You¡¯re the one who greeted sisi at the door just now, right?¡± Chen Anna was all smiles, without a trace of mockery. But the words he said were like a sharp de, mercilessly stabbing into qu ya¡¯s heart. The expression on her face began to stiffen. It was obvious that she had also recalled the embarrassing scene just now. It was simply embarrassing! However, now that it was brought up again, what she hated more was the woman in front of her! The displeasure in her heart was about to burst out. Qu ya secretly red at Chen Anna and gritted her teeth,¡±¡±Indeed, I greeted President Qiao at the entrance before.¡± The other woman in the white dress frowned and said,¡±¡±Miss ... Qiao, are you really President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡± She was supposed to call him President Qiao, but in the end, she still changed the way she addressed him. Joes was not too concerned about this detail. She looked at the three of them with narrowed eyes and said,¡±¡±Yes, didn¡¯t ze Yi already say that?¡± ¡°Yes, I remember that President Zheng has already announced it. Not many people know about it at the moment. But it won¡¯t be long before it¡¯s announced to the public. Sisi, you¡¯ll be famous in city h then. ¡± Chen Anna said jokingly, but her words were filled with counterattacks against qu ya and the other two. Didn¡¯t this woman refuse to believe this? Then she would peel it offyer byyer and put the truth in front of everyone. ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated. ¡± Joesughed, as if she did not believe him. Millie nodded her head in agreement.¡±¡±President Zheng is probably going to make a name for himself in city H. There hasn¡¯t been any rumors about President Zheng with anyone else in all these years. The president should be the first one. President Zheng¡¯s decision to do this shows his sincerity to you. ¡± ¡°Crack.¡± Another sharp de was stabbed into his heart. Chen Anna and Miley seemed to be singing a duet, which made the woman in the white dress look very ugly. Even the wine ss in her hand was almost crushed. Finally, she forced a smile and said,¡±¡±I see. I just didn¡¯t expect President Zheng to be with miss Qiao. After all, he¡¯s the president of a bigpany. I thought he¡¯d find someone of equal social status. ¡± The woman in the white dress thought that she had found a way to retaliate, so she couldn¡¯t help but sneer after she finished speaking. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s status was extraordinary. Even the socialites in city h were coveting him. No one expected that he would be robbed of his chance. Hence, they did not have a good attitude towards Jossi. Qu ya also felt a little relieved, and she nced at Joes and the other two in disdain. He had only started a smallpany. With such a status, he was not worthy of Zheng Zeyi at all. It was fine if she had found a socialite of equal social status, but it had to be Jossi, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of her. Even when she heard them discussing her background, Joes¡¯s expression did not change at all. She even took a bite of her dessert. That calm look made it seem as if the three people in front of him didn¡¯t exist at all. The atmosphere was silent for a moment. After Joes swallowed the dessert, she slowly said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not a big problem if we¡¯re not of equal social status. At least mypany is developing. It¡¯s a pity that some people here can only keep their delusions in the end. ¡± Joesse¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile as she ced the spoon on the te, producing a clear and crisp sound. She really did think that she was a socialitedy. The three women in front of him were just flowers in a greenhouse, Canaries raised at home. They couldn¡¯t stand any storms at all. ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯d better think twice about what you¡¯ve just said.¡± The woman in the white dress frowned. ¡°That¡¯s right, miss Qiao, what do you mean by that!¡± Qu ya was also frowning. She was no longer as patient as she had been before. If such a conversation continued, the final result would only be a fall out. At this moment, the woman in the wine-red dress said,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, Xiao Qi, don¡¯t say that. President Qiao might have done it unintentionally.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes raised her brows slightly. Her previously unconcerned gaze now had a glint in it. He looked up and saw the woman¡¯s face clearly. The gorgeous gown made her look like a delicate flower instead, and it didn¡¯t make people feel ufortable at all. It had to be said that putting aside their current hostile rtionship, Joes was still willing to admit that this woman¡¯s looks were outstanding. ¡°Unintentional act? I think she said that on purpose. ¡± Qu ya sneered, a cold light in her eyes. Chapter 296

Chapter 296: This is the truth

¡°Who did you say did it on purpose? exin yourself.¡± After hearing this, Chen Anna was not happy and immediately stood up. She was rtively tall, and with her seven-centimeter high heels, she was taller than qu ya by a notch. He hadpletely overwhelmed the other party in terms of aura. ¡°If you didn¡¯te looking for trouble first, we wouldn¡¯t have bothered with you. If there¡¯s nothing else, then hurry up and leave.¡± Chen Anna was already irritated by the three people in front of her. ¡°President Qiao, is this the attitude your friend has when talking to us?¡± Qu ya turned around and said coldly. Attitude? Joes was so angry that she almostughed. She did not know who had the wrong attitude and really thought that she was a dish. She shook her head slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±Of course not.¡± Before qu ya and the others could be surprised by her sudden surrender, Joes continued. ¡°This isn¡¯t just my friend¡¯s attitude, it¡¯s my attitude as well. If you don¡¯t have anything else to say, don¡¯t disturb us.¡± The merciless words blurted out, causing Millie and Chen Anna to want to p and cheer. Even if they were to go against these women now, they did not have to be afraid. Even if Xing Yuan could not win, they still had Hengyuan investment and the Zheng¡¯s group behind them. ...... This was the advantage of having a background, and ordinary people could not move it at all. ¡°You!¡± Qu ya¡¯s eyes widened. She had not expected that Joes would not give her any face in public. The woman in the wine-red dress had a dark expression on her face, unlike her previous White Lotus-like appearance. The woman in the white dress could not help but say angrily,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, are you trying to drive us away in front of everyone?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Joss nodded without any hesitation. So what if he chased these women away? ¡°Miss Qiao, if you do this, you¡¯ll be making an enemy out of ourpany!¡± Qu ya was so angry that she spoke without thinking. After all ... She could not represent the qu Corporation. However, it was still easy to destroy thepany¡¯s reputation. Hearing this, the woman in the white dress sneered and said,¡±¡±Xiaoya is right. I¡¯ve also heard of yourpany. It¡¯s Xing Yuan design, right? It¡¯s just a smallpany and they¡¯ve already offended so many people. How are they going to survive in the business world in the future? So I advise you to correct your attitude. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be cooperating with Xing Yuan design. ¡± The scene fell into silence. The woman in the Burgundy dress did not say a word, but she looked at Joes with a fearful gaze. Joesse was helpless. It seemed like if she did not speak the truth, these people would not recognize their position. She might really need a coboration, but she had plenty of opportunities to work with suchpanies. There were many toppanies in city h, and there were more than a few of them. Moreover, these women were so arrogant and domineering. If Joes really chose to cooperate, then it would be really troublesome and she would have to find things to do. After a long time, she chuckled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯d like to ask, where did you get your confidence from?¡± As soon as these words came out, qu ya and the other two¡¯s faces changed, and anger welled up in their hearts. ¡°Jossi, this is your own choice.¡± Qu ya said viciously, as if she was threatening him. Chen Anna couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and said with a slight sneer,¡±¡±I say, do you really not know, or are you just pretending? After all, CEO Zheng is standing behind Joes. Do you really think that you can interfere with the entirepany¡¯s decision, or do you think that CEO Zheng¡¯s existence is useless?¡± She could clearly see that these women had been blinded by jealousy. It was easy to understand this kind of thing after thinking a little deeper. Even if the threepanies were to join forces, they would not be able topete with the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. This was the difference. The truth had beenid bare in front of everyone, and qu ya and the other two felt as if they had been struck right on the heart. Qu ya¡¯s fingers trembled with anger. She was so angry that she lost all reason. All she could think about was the smiling Joss. That smile was extremely ring to her. Zheng Zeyi ... Such a good son-inw, but he was seduced by this B * tch! Qu ya, who had already thought about how her rtionship would develop, naturally couldn¡¯t control her emotions now that someone had beat her to it. Moreover, the three of them had been at a disadvantage in the confrontation. It was as if she had always been inferior to Joes and the rest. How could she possibly endure this? ¡°Joss...I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Qu ya felt aggrieved, and her face flushed red. At this time, President qu was not watching from the side. Coincidentally, a waiter holding a tray passed by. Just as he was about to walk away, qu ya stopped him. The next moment, qu ya snatched the red wine from the tray. Just as she was about to pour the water on Jossi, she immediately reacted. After all, she had experienced quite a few simr things recently. After seeing so many things, his reaction was faster. At that moment, Jossi stood up and pulled the woman in the white dress to her seat. The speed was faster than anyone could have imagined. In a short time, a huge change had urred. The red wine had also been spilled by qu ya. ¡°Ah!¡± The next second, the woman in the white dress let out a scream. It also attracted the gazes of many people, and there were faint signs of them surrounding the ce. The woman in the white dress looked at her expensive dress in disbelief. The white dress had been stained red by the red wine. It left behind arge, ghastly stain that was even uglier than joesse ¡®s. Moreover, after she had cleaned up and covered her face, it was not so clear. However, the woman in the white dress was wearing a pure white dress, which meant that she had to leave early tonight. Qu ya looked at the chaotic scene in front of her in a daze, and then at the empty ss of red wine in her hand. She felt a little flustered in her heart. Things had already gone beyond her expectations. The woman in the white dress couldn¡¯t ept what had just happened. She red at Joes with hatred. That¡¯s right, she was not angry at qu ya who had poured the wine, but at joesse who had pushed her. ¡°Jossi, why did you push me! Didn¡¯t I just say a few words to you, and you want to take revenge on me like this?¡± The woman in the white dress¡¯s sharp voice rang out, and her words turned the situation around. After hearing this, Joes did not panic at all. She crossed her arms and stood at the side, saying,¡±¡±You should know in your hearts whether I was the one who did it. Besides, qu ya, if you want to ssh me, just say it. Are you jealous that I¡¯m with Zeyi? I¡¯m sorry, but no matter how jealous you are, this is the truth!¡± His words were powerful and righteous. Chapter 297

Chapter 297: There won¡¯t be much change

Since Zheng Zeyi had already made the announcement, it did not matter how jealous these women were. They just had to treat it as the truth. However, qu ya and the other two did not believe in this and insisted on provoking Joes. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± The woman in the white dress was so angry that she pointed at Joes and retorted her earlier words. However, she didn¡¯t have any evidence. As the culprit, qu ya had been silent for a while when the incident happened. Now, she said,¡±¡±Jossi, don¡¯t try to confuse us. I really didn¡¯t expect that you would be so petty as to ssh red wine on her after she said a few more words. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she revealed a mocking expression. It had to be said that her acting skills were quite good, and there was no strange emotion in her eyes. If not for the fact that Joes and the other two knew the truth of the situation, they would have really thought that this was how things were. ¡°If you really want to say that, why don¡¯t you change your words?¡± Joes said with a half-smile. He was so confident that he did not even push the woman in the white dress, who was called Xiaoqi. If qu ya and the others had not gone too far, she would not have done this. She only had herself to me. Seeing her friend so confident, Chen Anna¡¯s heart settled down slightly and she listened to her. ...... On the other hand, qu ya and the other two could tell that something was wrong. The three of them looked at each other andmunicated through their eyes. All of them saw the word ¡®shock¡¯ in each other¡¯s eyes. They were clearly surprised that Joes could remain so calm in the face of nder. Not many people had seen what had happened just now. Even if they had reversed the situation, it was not necessarily that no one would believe it. Could it be that ... She still had a trump card? Qu ya¡¯s eyes flickered, and her words were not as confident as before.¡±Change the story? Joes, what kind of people do you think we are? Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you¡¯ve hooked up with President Zheng. You were in the wrong just now. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The woman in the white dress nodded her head fiercely. When she saw therge red wine stain on her body, she was furious. ¡°Look at the stain on my dress. This dress of mine was custom-made, but it¡¯s all ruined now.¡± Every word and sentence was extremely clear, and he was just short of pointing at Joes¡¯s nose and scolding her. Millie couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by Joes, who gave her a reassuring look. ¡°Don¡¯t speak first. ¡± Millie swallowed the words she was about to say. She nodded and did not speak. This scene was also seen by qu ya and the others. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Your little assistant can¡¯t help but want to defend you? Joess...Oh no, miss Joess...We don¡¯t mean to be overbearing. You sshed red wine on Xiaoqi. As long as you apologize to her and promise that you won¡¯t do such a thing again, we¡¯ll forgive you. ¡± Qu yaughed, looking all high and mighty. The surrounding people also began to boil up, whispering to each other. It was the right decision toe to the fashion show this time. Not only did they get to see such a wonderful show, but they also got to watch such a lively scene. Zheng Zeyi, the reputable businessman, had a fianc¨¦e. Furthermore, this fianc¨¦e¡¯s character seemed to be a little problematic. Among the people present, there were not many who had reallye into contact with joesse. On the other hand, qu ya and the other two were very clear about her. It was also because of this that most of them believed in them. ¡°Look, miss qu and President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e seem to be having an argument.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say who we trust, but I heard that President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e is amoner who only has a smallpany.¡± ¡°In that case, it¡¯s more likely that she¡¯s the one?¡± ¡°Who knows? she¡¯s President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e after all. She wouldn¡¯t really do such a domineering thing.¡± Everyone discussed in a very soft voice, which made it noisy. Joesse did not mind thements as she could not control her own mouth. As for what the truth was, it would be revealed in the end. Even if qu ya and the others were jumping around happily now, it would be useless. Qu ya, on the other hand, felt that the general situation was on her side, and a smile appeared on her face. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other side, not far from the entrance of the banquet hall. Zheng Zeyi noticed themotion in the crowd immediately. He followed the crowd¡¯s gaze and saw where his fianc¨¦e was. There were quite a few people there, and it seemed like something had happened. Frowning slightly, Zheng Zeyi was a little unhappy. Just as he was about to go over, Qiao si, who was on the other side, noticed his actions. She blinked her eyes, which were like a vortex of stars, intoxicating people. It also meant that she didn¡¯t need to go over. She could solve it herself. Since Qiao sisi had already made her decision, Zheng Zeyi could only let her have her way. He looked at the situation and smiled. His deepughter sounded particrly attractive. At the same time, President Xu and the others also noticed. ¡°President Zheng, that seems to be where President Qiao is. Do you want to go and take a look?¡± President Xu asked in confusion. If it was not for Zheng Zeyi standing there, President Xu and the rest would have already gone over. Zheng Zeyi shook his head and nced at the tray in the waiter¡¯s hands. He naturally took a wine ss from it, which was filled with bright red wine. He shook it gently and exined,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to go over. It¡¯s just a small matter. She can handle it. ¡± The ¡®her¡¯ he was referring to was naturally Jossi. Zheng Zeyi did not have to deal with a matter of this level. She could handle it on her own. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t he have wasted his one year overseas? After hearing this, President Xu was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately reacted and said with a smile,¡±¡±It seems like President Zheng still has a lot of trust in President Qiao¡¯s ability.¡± ¡°Yes, I also think that President Qiao¡¯s ability is unparalleled. Although Xing Yuan design is still small, I think ... It will be a bigpany sooner orter.¡± President Lin couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°It¡¯s inevitable! You can see the Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s shadow just by looking at the current Xing Yuan. ¡± The other few people¡¯s good words werepletely free, but they were not all ttery. Before Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arrival, they had also intended to work with Joes to achieve a win-win situation. This had also indirectly proved her ability. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mood brightened as he smiled.¡±¡±Of course I trust her. Moreover, whether she solves the problem or not, the oue will not change much.¡± His words were filled with confidence and determination. Regardless of whether Joes could resolve this matter, the oue of qu ya and the others who had caused this incident would not change much. Chapter 298

Chapter 298: A familiar method

Because ... He was here. With this thought in mind, Zheng Zeyi gently shook the cup in his hand. His gaze seemed to be able to prate the crowd and see the situation over there. For a moment, traces of coldness seeped out. The originally harmonious atmosphere was now infected by the low air pressure around Zheng ze. CEO Xu and the rest could feel it very clearly. Fear crept into everyone¡¯s hearts. They quickly lowered their heads to calm themselves down and felt a little better. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s aura was too terrifying, like a beast! ¡°You¡¯re right, President Zheng. ¡± After a long time, President Xu finally said this and raised the ss in his hand. He was considered one of the better ones. Zheng Zeyi had been in a high position for so many years. He had a good n and everything was under his control. He was even in the business world. It was normal for others to be shocked by such an aura. Zheng Zeyi nced at President Xu indifferently. Surprisingly, he did not reject him and clinked sses with him. Then, the clear sound of a cup being held rang out in the air. While they were chatting andughing, there was already some progress on Joes¡¯s side. The bystanders ¡®voices didn¡¯t affect her. She was still very calm and restrained. It was a habit she had developed over the past year. ...... ¡°Jossi, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? are you feeling guilty?¡± Qu ya did not hear any response for a long time. In addition, she was very confident after listening to the bystanders ¡®discussion, so she was a little dissatisfied at the moment. Jossi raised her eyebrows and asked,¡±¡±Guilty? I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not guilty. ¡± ¡°We¡¯re not the only ones who sshed wine, so what do we have to be guilty about? on the other hand, shouldn¡¯t some people who distort the truth see how thick their skin is?¡± Chen Anna, who was standing at the side, also helped to argue. Her tone was filled with ridicule. Millie nodded without saying anything. The positions of the three people were very clear, forming a sharp contrast with qu ya and the other two. When qu ya heard this reply, her anger could not be quelled. Her eyes were filled with anger as she pointed at the ugly stain on The Woman in White. ¡°You can bully people like this just because you have power? Anyone with eyes can see the red wine stain. Why do we have to nder you?¡± Just as she finished her sentence, Joes continued,¡±¡±I think it¡¯s necessary, because you¡¯re jealous of me.¡± After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a bit of danger. She continued coldly,¡±¡±He¡¯s jealous that I¡¯m together with Zeyi. He¡¯s just venting his anger on me for doing such a despicable thing. Now that you¡¯ve heard me say this, do you think I¡¯m stupid because I don¡¯t have any evidence to prove it?¡± A crisp female voice rang out, stunning everyone. No one could understand why Joes would suddenly say that, exposing her weakness. Without any evidence, each side had their own arguments, and it was really hard to tell which side was the one who had poured the wine. However, both Anna Chen and Millie believed that Joes would have a solution and stood firmly on her side. ¡°You ... You¡¯re talking nonsense. Who¡¯s jealous of you? and you said it yourself. Don¡¯t talk nonsense without evidence!¡± Qu ya said guiltily. The woman in the white dress also received a lot of attention. Her eyes flickered as she said,¡±¡±Xiao Ya is right. Why would I use my own dress to do such a thankless thing?¡± He was still unrepentant. ¡°Pa pa!¡± At this moment, a round of apuse suddenly rang out, and the source of the apuse was none other than Joes. With a smile on her face, she pped as she approached qu ya and the others, quickly closing the distance between them. They were originally two to three meters apart, but now, they were only separated by a person¡¯s distance. As they got closer, qu ya and the other two could clearly see the expression on Joes¡¯s face. There was no fear, and her eyes were even more confident. ¡®What ... Is this?¡¯ Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, the corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she exined the situation,¡±¡±Since you¡¯ve all made your choices, I won¡¯t be merciful. You have to know where this ce is. This is a fashion show and banquet organized by President Xu and manypanies. ¡± At this point, she paused to give everyone some time to think. She was right, this was no ordinary ce. Manypanies and some foreign partners obviously attached great importance to this fashion show. The people who caused trouble here were definitely doing a thankless job. They might not receive any substantial punishment now, but they were likely to be cklisted by variouspanies. Theirpany wasn¡¯t doing charity. If they worked with people who didn¡¯t even know how to deal with people, they would only be digging their own graves. And most importantly, how could such an important public ce not be decorated? Even the organizers would be worried about being ignored. This was the most basic thing. Many people present were awoken by this and were suddenly enlightened. They looked at qu ya and the others with strange eyes. For Joes to be able to say such things so openly, it proved that she knew about this matter and was definitely not the one who had sshed the wine. Otherwise, if they found out, she would be the one embarrassed instead. Chen Anna and Miley also woke up immediately. They looked at each other and nodded to show their admiration. They had actually forgotten about this thing that they could use the most! The atmosphere had changed subtly. Qu ya also felt a little uneasy. She couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva and take a step back. This action also increased the distance between her and Joes. ¡°I think many people should understand what I mean after I say this. Miss qu ya, I think you¡¯re still confused, but I can remind you.¡± Joes¡¯s smile was harmless, but the words she said were piercing,¡±¡±Raise your head and look at the corner.¡± After saying that, she pointed her white finger to the side of a light at the top of the banquet hall. A ck dot could be clearly seen. Anyone who wasn¡¯t a fool would know that those were ... Surveince cameras. Using the surveince cameras, joesse had dealt with many people who had tried to frame her. It did not seem to require much skill. However, in modern society, surveince was the best thing that could be used. If it could be simplified, why use moreplicated means to solve it? it would only make them seem more stupid. Moreover, the banquet hall was usually decorated with such things, which were rarely used. He didn¡¯t expect it toe in handy this time. Qu ya frowned and looked in the direction that joesse was pointing. She looked up and saw a ck dot beside the light. She was stunned. It wasn¡¯t just her. Even the two women, Xiaoqi and Lingling, were in a state of shock and couldn¡¯te back to their senses. It was as if he had been struck by lightning. Chapter 299

Chapter 299: I deliberately pushed the me to you

¡°C-surveince ...¡± They had forgotten about the surveince cameras! Qu ya¡¯s face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pit. The arrogant look on her face hadpletely disappeared, because she could no longer be arrogant. ¡°What should we do ... Monitor.¡± The woman in the white dress looked bitter as she turned to qu ya and the other woman for help. They had not expected the surveince cameras in the banquet hall. This was because very few people would make use of this item. However, Joes had given them one. With this surveince camera, and it was shot in this direction, it proved that everything that happened just now had been recorded. And the words that qu ya and the others had said to pretend to be confident had now turned into an excuse that they did not know whether tough or cry! ¡°Bitch!¡± Qu ya¡¯s chest heaved up and down as she cursed under her breath. She didn¡¯t have the guts to scold joesse directly. Zheng Zeyi was still in the banquet hall. Now that something like this had happened, she wondered if thepany would be affected. Her face was ashen, and she only thought of thepany now. Even Lingling, who was smart enough to think that she was a White Lotus, fell silent with her head lowered. ...... What should he do now? The three of them only had this thought in their minds. Joes did not know what they were thinking, and she did not want to know either. However, judging from the state of qu ya and the other two, it was probably her words that had taken effect. They knew that what they had done could not be hidden from the surveince camera. At the thought of this, Joes smiled gently. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± she asked.¡±Did I say something wrong?¡± This question that he asked despite knowing the answer to was even more embarrassing. The silence of the three people instantly made the onlookers see the truth. As long as they were not fools, they would know who had sshed the wine. Anna Chen sneered and crossed her arms,¡±¡±Weren¡¯t you very arrogant just now? Why isn¡¯t anyone saying anything?¡± ¡°You guys ...¡± Qu ya¡¯s face had turned red, but these words were like sharp des that ignited her anger. ¡°We what?¡± Joes smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. In the face of such a smile and everyone¡¯s burning eyes, qu ya held back for a long time, but could only swallow those dirty words. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Qu ya red at joesse. It was at this moment that President qu rushed over in a panic. ¡°Daughter, what happened?¡± President qu was a little flustered. Looking at the situation, he could almost imagine it. On the surface, he acted as if he was concerned about his daughter, but in reality, he was extremely resentful that he had failed to live up to his expectations and was dragging him down! Didn¡¯t I tell you not to provoke Jossi and Zheng Zeyi? Why didn¡¯t qu ya listen? When she saw the person, qu ya pursed her lips, but the hatred in her eyes did not diminish. She said,¡±¡±Dad, why did you ...¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by President qu. ¡°President Qiao, please forgive my daughter if she has done anything wrong. She¡¯s not sensible.¡± President qu quickly ¡®begged¡¯ for mercy from joesse. His words shocked qu ya and even made her feel indignant. Qiao sisi was merely the CEO of a smallpany and was not presentable at all. Wasn¡¯t she just hanging out with Zheng Zeyi? He became the target of ttery. The more she thought about it, the angrier qu ya became. She pulled President qu and said,¡±¡±Dad, why don¡¯t you apologize to her ...¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± President qu, who had always been known to dote on his daughter, had shouted at her ruthlessly. If he allowed this ignorant daughter to continue, the qu Corporation might not even be able to survive! ¡°Apologize to President Qiao now and leave with me,¡± President qu said with a cold face.¡±Do you hear me?¡± They could not afford to offend Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Dad ...¡± Qu ya didn¡¯t expect to be weed with such an attitude. She was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth with a sullen face. If she were to apologize to Jossi, she would be embarrassing herself in public, even though this was not the first time. Seeing this, President qu was a little dissatisfied. He took a few steps closer and said softly,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t want the qu n to turn the tables, apologize now!¡± Reverse ... Qu ya gritted her teeth, her face full of humiliation. Now that things hade to this, she had no other choice. The woman in the white dress and the woman in the Burgundy gown didn¡¯t speak either. They each had their own thoughts. After a long time, qu ya finally opened her mouth with difficulty and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry,¡±she said. As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately shut her mouth, as if saying those words was a great insult to her. ¡°What sorry? to whom? Miss qu, I¡¯m so confused by your apology. ¡± Joes said with a smile. Her sweet smile was extremely vicious in qu ya¡¯s eyes. Chen Anna also sneered and echoed,¡±¡±Those who know would think that you¡¯re apologizing to us. Those who don¡¯t know would think that we¡¯re in the wrong.¡± ¡°You guys are too much!¡± Qu ya couldn¡¯t take it anymore. This was clearly directed at her. However, she didn¡¯t think about it. If she hadn¡¯t sshed red wine on him, the situation wouldn¡¯t be like this. The cycle of karma was all retribution. Joes¡¯s lips curled up and her voice was as gentle as water.¡±¡±We¡¯re going overboard? It seems that miss qu still thinks that we¡¯re in the wrong. Why don¡¯t we go to the surveince room today and see what the truth is? To see if I was the one who poured the wine?¡± ¡°Little ya!¡± President qu shouted angrily. He pulled her back with all his strength, causing qu ya to stagger and almost fall to the ground. Seeing her father¡¯s angry face, qu ya knew that if this matter was not resolved, her status in the family would also plummet. Joes ... Qu ya gritted her teeth in anger, but in the end, she chose topromise. She lowered her head slightly to hide the hatred in her eyes. ¡°Miss Qiao, I¡¯m sorry. I was the one who ndered you just now. I was the one who spilled the red wine. I deliberately pushed the me on you.¡± The truth was finally revealed. Joes was extremely calm, but the people around her were constantly eximing in shock. This was going to be a good show. Who would have thought that the daughter of the qu group would ssh red wine on Joes just because of a little jealousy? In the end, after the incident, he even tried to confuse the public and put them in a disadvantageous position. If Jossi had not seen the surveince footage first, she would not have been able to exin herself. It was truly amentable sight. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect this to be the result. The qu family¡¯s heiress ... Also lost to President Qiao.¡± Someone sighed. Chapter 300 - The curtain has finally fallen

Chapter 300: The curtain has finally fallen

¡°The word ¡®defeated¡¯ isn¡¯t suitable for this situation. That daughter of the qu family didn¡¯t do anything good either.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how much more jealous they are of President Qiao. They¡¯re probably doing this for President Zheng.¡± ¡°But ... I didn¡¯t expect President Zheng to like miss Qiao.¡± The noise around them might have affected qu ya and the others, but it did not affect Joes in the slightest. Even Chen Anna and Miley were calm, but they were a little displeased by his words. After hearing qu ya¡¯s apology, Joes turned to look at the woman in the white dress and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m asking you, is qu ya right?¡± It was a simple question, but the woman in the white dress had to take it seriously. She couldn¡¯t help but look around. Everyone¡¯s gazes were like a huge pressure on her. Qu ya had already admitted it, so what was the use of her denying it? The people present were not fools. Gritting her teeth, the woman in the white dress nodded and said,¡±¡±Yes.¡± From the way she gritted her teeth, there was no doubt that if she could, she would not hesitate to rush up and scratch Joes ¡®face. Unfortunately, she would never have the chance. ...... The woman in the red dress, who was good at pretending to be a White Lotus, was also silent at this moment. She quietly watched the scene in front of her. After a moment, the woman in the red dress bent down slightly and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, miss Qiao. I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have done that.¡± Her humble attitude was on apletely different level from qu ya¡¯s lover. But what the crowd couldn¡¯t see was the fierce light that almost reflected in her eyes when she lowered her head. On the surface, he seemed to be the weakest, but in truth...He might be the most vicious of them all. Joes sneered at the situation but did not say anything. At this point, the three people who had joined forces to frame Joss had all apologized, which also proved her ability. President qu really couldn¡¯t bear the burning gazes of the people around him and said embarrassedly,¡±¡±President Qiao, we¡¯ve already apologized, can we leave now? I still have some urgent matters to deal with at home, and I¡¯m really sorry for Xiao Ya¡¯s impulsiveness this time. ¡± President qu said apologetically. After so many years, being observant had almost be a basic skill. It didn¡¯t matter if he felt apologetic or not. What was important was that she could see his attitude from his face. No matter how angry qu ya was, she had no choice but to bombard joesse with her own gaze when her father had already bowed his head. Qiao si ignored qu ya¡¯s gaze and nced at President qu. She said indifferently,¡±¡±Since President qu has something urgent to attend to, I won¡¯t stay any longer. Have a safe journey, President qu. However, I have to remind you that if you don¡¯t discipline your daughter well, don¡¯t let her out, lest she embarrasses herself. ¡± Thest sentence was full of sarcasm. It also ignited qu ya¡¯s anger in an instant. She was so angry that her fingers were trembling and her face was red. ¡°Jossi, you B * tch ...¡± Before he could finish, President qu reacted and pulled him back, interrupting what he was about to say. President qu red at qu ya, his eyes containing a lot of meaning. Trash! He was still causing trouble for her at a time like this. Didn¡¯t he see that Joes had already chosen not to pursue the matter? ¡°If you continue to be so unreasonable, don¡¯t even think about getting a single cent from me when we get home!¡± President qu said fiercely to qu ya. However, his voice was very soft to ensure that only the two of them could hear him. Outsiders could only see the father and daughter whispering to each other, but they could not hear what they were talking about. After hearing her father¡¯s words, qu ya¡¯s face revealed a shocked expression. She gritted her teeth and could only choose topromise. She followed behind President qu and had no intention of saying anything else. ¡°You¡¯re right, President Qiao. Then ... We¡¯ll take our leave first. We¡¯ll meet again if there¡¯s a chance. ¡± President Qu¡¯s expression changed like flipping a book. When it came to Joes, he put on a ttering smile. He didn¡¯t care about how much hatred his daughter was feeling. After saying this, he left with his men. His back view as he sneaked away caused many people in the banquet hall to not know whether tough or cry. Joes only took one look before looking away. Her gazended on the woman in the white dress who was preparing to escape. ¡°You can leave after you¡¯ve apologized.¡± A crisp female voice came from behind her. Xiaoqi, the woman in the white dress, stopped in her tracks and turned her head unwillingly. Although she didn¡¯t want to admit it, her family¡¯spany¡¯s power was not much different from the qu Corporation ¡®s. There was noparison between the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group and the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. Thinking back to what qu ya had just experienced, the woman in the white dress felt an inexplicable sense of fear. Standing in front of joesse, she felt as if she was a head shorter. The thought of leaving was like a vine, and she made her decision almost instantly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, miss Qiao. I shouldn¡¯t have ndered you with qu ya just now ...¡± The woman in the white dress swallowed her saliva. If he ignored her hand that had been holding the corner of her dress, this apology might have been more sincere. Looking at this scene, Joes narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was sizing something up. After a while, she waved her hand and said,¡±¡±Alright, you can go.¡± Hearing this, the woman in the white dress finally heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and left without looking back. Revenge could be postponed. The most important thing now was to leave this embarrassing ce. Thest one left was the woman in the red dress, who was called Lingling. She didn¡¯t have much burden when it came to apologizing. After the other two people left, she directly bowed and apologized. His attitude was sincere and he didn¡¯t seem to be faking it. After everyone present had seen her, joesse let the woman in the red dress leave. However, she had remembered the faces of these three people. It would be great if the matter could end so simply. ording to joesse¡¯s guess, these women would not let the matter rest so easily. Their jealousy and vengeful thoughts might prompt them to attack again. Now that she had mentally prepared herself, Joes would be more on her guard the next time she encountered such a situation. The farce had finallye to an end. The surrounding people¡¯s discussions also became softer. Instead, they were more curious about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, who rarely appeared in public. Many people were getting restless and were really ready toe up and talk to him. However, before they arrived, joesse could be considered to have rxed a little. Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Aren¡¯t you just asking the obvious?

¡°Really, I don¡¯t know why we¡¯ve all encountered such a top-grade item. Aren¡¯t they a little too jealous?¡± Chen Anna was still immersed in what had just happened. When she thought of the attitude of qu ya and the others, she became angry. However, in the end, the women left dejectedly, which was quite satisfying. If the three of them had not looked down on Jossi and ndered her first ... He probably wouldn¡¯t have been so embarrassed in the end. Joes shrugged helplessly and said,¡±¡±I can¡¯t help it when I¡¯m outstanding. It makes people jealous. These top quality people are all lining up to find trouble with me.¡± After she finished speaking, she sighed softly and took a cup of hot water from a waiter who passed by. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. The two words were blurted out, and even the server was stunned for a moment before reacting. She was a little ttered and quickly said,¡±¡±You¡¯re too kind, distinguished guest ...¡± The moment he raised his head, the server saw Joes¡¯s gentle smile and could not help but smile as well. She only left after receiving instructions from the other guests. ...... Chen Anna didn¡¯t say anything. This was a very normal thing. She couldn¡¯t help butin about her friend¡¯sment. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯re getting more and more narcissistic. Aren¡¯t these people targeting you because of your fianc¨¦? Although I don¡¯t think he¡¯s much, they all think he¡¯s a rich man¡¯s son-inw. You¡¯ve snatched him away, you don¡¯t know how jealous they are. ¡± ¡°A woman¡¯s jealousy is indeed scary,¡± Chen Anna clicked her tongue and said. After saying that, Millie couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.¡±¡±It¡¯s only a portion of them. Not everyone is so brainless. ¡± After all, there were so manydies and socialites who had received aristocratic education from a young age. They were not all like qu ya and the others. He didn¡¯t consider the consequences before doing anything. They did not even consider whether Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were people they could afford to offend. If such people were eliminated by the business world in the end, they deserved it. Joes and Anna Chen sat and chatted for a while, but no one came up to talk to them. There were many considerations for one¡¯s existence, and qu ya and the others were a living example. After a long time, a few groups of people came up to greet him. Joes was not very familiar with them, but she received them politely. They were not much different from what she had imagined. They were all curious as to why Zheng Zeyi had found a fianc¨¦e and why she was the president of a smallpany. There were countless people who had such thoughts. Joes had also chatted with a few groups of people, repeating the same words so many times that her throat was almost dry, and she felt rather helpless. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi could not understand her helplessness. Very quickly, the banquet came to an end. Many people had already left the venue to greet President Xu. Compared to before, it was a little more deserted. The soft light illuminated the entire magnificent banquet hall, and the hazy night sky could be vaguely seen outside the window. The sky was already dark. Joes took a look at the time on her phone and said to Chen Anna and Chen Yichen,¡±¡±It¡¯s gettingte, let¡¯s go back first. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The two of them had no objections. Just as she was about to greet President Xu, she realized that Zheng Zeyi was not far away. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, but she walked straight to President Xu with Chen Anna. Their arrival was quickly noticed. ¡°President Qiao, are you here to say goodbye to me?¡± President Xu held a ss of red wine and couldn¡¯t help but smile. At first nce, he had already guessed their purpose. The moment she finished speaking, Joes smiled and nodded,¡±¡±Boss Xu¡¯s guess was right. It¡¯s gettingte. We¡¯ll go back first.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll look for you at yourpany next time about the fashion show,¡± President Xu said as he raised his ss of red wine. ¡°Of course, no problem.¡± Joes nodded. After the fashion show ended, the profits would be transferred to the fund, but there were some details that needed to be discussed in person. All in all, the cooperation this time was very sessful. After Qiao si si and the other two greeted President Xu, they walked out of the banquet hall. Before she left, she turned back and nced at Zheng Zeyi, who was standing not far away, with a faint smile in her eyes. When Zheng Zeyi received this look, his lips curled into a smile, and a strange emotion shed across his bright eyes. It seemed that his wife had a lot of opinions about the announcement of the engagement this time ... At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi could not help but chuckle. He took a sip of the red wine in his ss and his smile grew wider. On the other side, Jossi and the others passed through the corridor and soon saw the banquet hall¡¯s door. Just as she was about to step out, Joes stopped in her tracks, causing Anna Chen and Millie to look at her involuntarily. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Sisi?¡± Chen Anna asked with some doubt. Jossi pointed in the direction of the banquet hall and exined,¡±¡±You guys go ahead. I¡¯ll wait for Zheng Zeyi here for a while. I have something to tell him.¡± She had yet to ask Zheng Zeyi about his thoughts and future ns regarding the announcement of the engagement. It was only after the two of them had discussed it that they had a general direction. She did have special feelings for Zheng Zeyi, but that did not mean that they were about to get married. That was a little too fast. Hearing this, Chen Anna curiously asked,¡±¡±Are you asking about the engagement just now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Joes said it out loud. She had nothing to hide about this matter. Chen Anna came to a sudden realization. Without any dy, she put her hand on Millie¡¯s shoulder. Then, she said with confidence,¡±¡±Then remember to exin everything clearly. Leave Miley to me. I¡¯ll get the driver to send her home.¡± ¡°Sure, but be careful on your way.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡°Chen Anna raised her eyebrows and smiled. After saying their goodbyes, they went their separate ways. Anna Chen left with Millie, while Joes found an open-air cafe next to the venue. He ordered two cups of aromatic coffee and waited for Zheng Zeyi in the banquet hall as he drank. Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take long for the figure to walk out of the venue. She was too eye-catching. Even though there were many people around her, joesse could still spot Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi exchanged a few words with assistant li and headed straight for the outdoor caf¨¦. He strode with his long legs and his speed increased a little. He arrived in a moment and found a seat opposite him. There was a cup of coffee in front of him. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s for me,¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you asking the obvious? it¡¯s for you, and I have something to ask you. ¡± After Joes heard that, she shrugged her shoulders helplessly. Chapter 302

Chapter 302: I can be your girlfriend

Upon hearing that, Zheng ze looked up and saw joesse¡¯s expression. He nodded slightly and picked up the cup of coffee in front of him with his well-defined hand. The coffee cup was very exquisite, and even the coffee exuded a strong aroma. To be able to open such a high-end coffee shop in the bustling city of h city, it must be a high-ss one. However, Zheng Zeyi usually only drank expensive coffee. He took a sip of the warm coffee and gulped it down. His eyes sparkled like stars as he looked at Joes. It was until Joes felt a little ufortable from being stared at that she involuntarily shifted her position. ¡°Why do you keep looking at me?¡± she asked, pursing her lips. ¡°Ha ...¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. His voice was very maic, and it was like a feather teasing Qiao si. It took her a lot of effort to calm her heart down and put on a straight face. I can¡¯t be disturbed by such irrelevant things. This time, Qiao si had specially waited outside for Zheng Zeyi to ask about the engagement. After all, the two of them were not engaged now. However, it was a little embarrassing to announce it to the public. ...... With this thought in mind, Joes¡¯s expression became more determined and she said,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, today ... Why did you tell those people in the banquet hall that we have an engagement?¡± She stared at the person in front of her, afraid that she would miss out on any important emotion. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression remained calm. His fingers sped the edge of the table, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you already promise me?¡± ¡°Did I agree to it?¡± Joes asked in disbelief. She immediately understood what Zheng Zeyi was talking about. Previously, in the private hospital, in old master Zheng¡¯s ward, she had indeed agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s proposal for no reason. Moreover, it was under the witness of so many old people. There was no way to lie about this matter. However, for some unknown reason, Joes had agreed to it back then, causing the situation to spiral out of control. Was it toote to regret now? Joes sighed helplessly and said with great difficulty,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I do that to help you gain more trust from old man Zheng? Besides, we weren¡¯t in a rtionship before. It¡¯s not good for either side if we¡¯re forcefully tied together. ¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± Zheng Zeyi added immediately after he finished speaking. There was an ambiguous smile in his eyes. Joes raised her head and was instantly stunned when she saw that gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and her heartbeat elerated. Even the sound of passing cars could not stop her heart from beating. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were like a Whirlpool, and he could not help but attract Qiao si. The atmosphere around them changed subtly and became extremely ambiguous. After a long while, Qiao si finally regained her senses. She quickly swallowed her saliva and looked away from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. It was too embarrassing! It was as if those eyes had magic. Joes did not know why she was stunned and her heart was beating so fast. Zheng Zeyi must have noticed it and was probablyughing at her in his heart! Qiao Si was upset and scolded herself for being useless. After she put on a determined expression, she looked at Zheng Zeyi again. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi had no such thoughts at all. However, he had noticed Joes¡¯s abnormality and felt a little more pleased. ¡°Sisi, I¡¯m serious. I think ... It can be elevated to a romantic rtionship. Be my girlfriend.¡± Zheng Zeyi said word by word. Every single word seemed to be knocking on joesse¡¯s heart. ¡°You ...¡± Joes opened her mouth with much difficulty, but after a long while, she only managed to say one word. She really did not expect Zheng Zeyi to say such things to her. This should be ... A confession, right? At the thought of this, her eyes flickered. Her fair hand held the coffee cup in front of her and she couldn¡¯t help but take a sip. However, she could not get rid of the strange feeling in her heart. Zheng Zeyi, who was in front of her, also gave her a lot of pressure. ¡°Consider it? Sisi. ¡± When Zheng ze saw this, he spoke softly. Thest two words,¡¯sisi¡¯, seemed to contain a thousand tenderness. Joesse¡¯s heart softened and turned soft. Do you agree or disagree? This was the biggest problem they were facing now! She actually had feelings for Zheng Zeyi, but was it really appropriate for the two of them to be together? One of them was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, while she had only established a small, unknownpany. Furthermore, he was Yang Yue Yue¡¯s cousin. Many thoughts surged in his heart, and he was struggling, unable to make a choice. Joesse¡¯s thoughts were in a whirl. She took a deep breath. If one were to look closely, one would be able to see that her long eyshes were trembling slightly. He picked up his coffee and took a sip, but no matter how much he drank, it couldn¡¯t calm his emotions. Joes did not speak for a long time, and her cheeks were slightly red, making her look extremely delicious. Zheng Zeyi, who was sitting opposite him, saw this scene and his eyes darkened. After a long time. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ... Give me some time to consider?¡± Joes said in a negotiating tone. Zheng Zeyi revealed a devilish smile and shook his head slightly.¡±¡±No,¡± These two words had destroyed all her ns. He had wanted to stall for time, but judging from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude, it was probably impossible. Joes blinked her eyes. She was still unable to hide her panic, but she was much better than before. She looked at Zheng Zeyi in front of her. He was dressed in a tailored suit, and his handsome face was illuminated by the soft light. It was as if his entire person was emitting light. Perhaps, he could really give it a try. For some reason, this thought appeared in his heart, just like thest time in the hospital. It was not a forced thought, but it came from the depths of her heart. She might really have fallen for Zheng Zeyi. At this point, even if Joes wanted to lie to herself, she had no way of doing so. Because she already knew the final result. Joes heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged a look with Zheng ze. Their gazes crossed in mid-air, and it was as if sparks were flying. ¡°Okay, I promise you. I can be your girlfriend.¡± The sentence that came out of her mouth was much simpler than she had imagined. Joes nervously pinched the corner of her skirt. This was the second time she was in a rtionship. The first time was when she was with Zeng Qing, and that rtionship did not end well. The man she thought was a good man turned out to be aplete scumbag. Not only that, but he was also a scumbag. What would happen this time? Chapter 303

Chapter 303: What do you want me to call you?

It was inevitable for her to be nervous and apprehensive. After all, she was not a strong woman in terms of rtionships. It was just ... A noob. Although she didn¡¯t want to admit it, she had only been in a rtionship once. This was only her second time. After Joes finished her sentence, the air around them seemed to have frozen for a moment. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were fixed on her. He could only see her reflection in his eyes, and there were inexplicableplicated emotions. In an instant, the corners of his mouth rose, his eyes curved, and his tone was full ofughter.¡±¡±Sisi, is what you said true?¡± This was the first time that joesse had seen Zheng Zeyi smile so happily. Even her mood could not help but be infected. ¡°It¡¯s true,¡± she said, nodding.¡±We can give it a try.¡± Crack ... Crack ... At this moment, a soft sound was heard. Joes blinked her eyes and pretended not to notice the crack on the coffee cup. Zheng Zeyi smiled devilishly and let go of the coffee cup in his hand. He stood up immediately and his tall figure covered Qiao si. ¡°Okay, you¡¯re my girlfriend now.¡± ...... A maic voice was heard. In the next second, Zheng Zeyi grabbed Jossi¡¯s hand. ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Joes did not resist as she was being pulled away. Instead, she asked in confusion. Zheng Zeyi did not turn around when he heard that. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked toward his car. When he got to the car, he put on a mysterious expression and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll take you to a ce. ¡± A ce? Many doubts welled up in Joes ¡®heart, but she also felt a little anticipation. She was officially together with Zheng Zeyi now. She wondered where Zheng Zeyi was taking her. Looking at their tightly wrapped hands, the corners of Jossi¡¯s lips curled up uncontrobly. She then sat in the front passenger seat. Zheng Zeyi had a lot of cars. This was an extended version of a luxury car, and it was also a limited edition. Qiao si had never seen it before. After getting into the car, Zheng Zeyi started the car and drove to the location he wanted. ¡°Where is it?¡± Joes blinked her eyes and looked at the man who was driving seriously. Her gaze stopped on a certain someone¡¯s perfect side profile and his well-defined hands that were holding the steering wheel. Every movement was perfect and charming. Zheng Zeyi turned around and nced at her with a smile in his eyes.¡±It should be ... My favorite ce in the past.¡± Not long after, the car arrived at its destination. This was a very vastwn beside the park. The fragrance of the grass assailed the nose. Because it was quitete now, there were almost no people in the vicinity. Thewn was veryrge, and joesse noticed it the moment she arrived. Standing there, she seemed to be able to see the entire night sky very clearly. In the dark blue sky, the stars twinkled, and a bright moon hung. The faint light illuminated the earth and made the night even more beautiful. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful ...¡± Joes mumbled softly. She could not help but look up at the sky, her eyes filled with joy. It had been a long time since she had seen such a scene. Zheng Zeyi, who was beside her, smiled and brought her to thewn, where they found a ce to sit down. He was the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group, but he was sitting on thewn without hesitation. Even joesse was stunned for a moment before she reacted. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you said that you used to loveing to this ce. What do you mean by that?¡± she asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s all in my childhood. ¡± A smile appeared on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face. Even though he did not go into detail, Jossi understood what he meant. The rtionship between the Zheng family wasplicated, not to mention that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s birth mother had passed away when he was young. He often came to this ce, so he should also be here to watch the night at this time. Qiao si pursed her lips slightly and looked at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side profile. For some reason, her heart ached. She gently ced her hand on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s all in the past. I shouldn¡¯t have mentioned it. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled, and the corners of his lips curled up. A gentle breeze blew past, causing Qiao sisi¡¯s hair to flutter slightly. However, her peripheral vision would always involuntarilynd on the person beside her. Maybe ... This was also good. Under the hazy night sky, the two of them held each other¡¯s hands tightly, as if they had made some kind of agreement. ¡­¡­¡­ After a long time, Zheng Zeyi finally sent Qiao sisi home. It was already around 11 O¡¯ clock, and the apartment was very quiet, even though not many people usually stayed there. Not everyone could afford to live in such a high-end apartment. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll bring you up. ¡± Zheng ze¡¯s expression was natural as he held joesse¡¯s hand and walked up. The light in the elevator finally brightened up a little, but it was so bright that joesse did not dare to look at Zheng Zeyi directly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you dare to look at me?¡± His voice rang out above her head, and Joes hurriedly shook her head,¡±¡±No, it¡¯s just that the light is a little ring.¡± Her lies were so clumsy that even she felt a little embarrassed. In fact, she was still a little embarrassed. Soon, the elevator arrived at their floor. The elevator door opened and the voice-controlled lights of the corridor sounded. The light illuminated the corridor. Their apartment wasn¡¯t far from the electric elevator, and they reached it in a few steps. Joes walked stiffly, her cheeks slightly red, and she soon reached the apartment. Now that he thought about their rtionship again, it had only been one night, and they had made such a big progress. She took a deep breath and said without raising her head,¡±¡±I¡¯m already here. I¡¯ll go back first. You should sleep early too ...¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind passed by his ears. By the time Qiao si regained her senses, she had already turned around abruptly. Her back was against the wall, and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face was right in front of her. The hot air fell on her face, making her cheeks redder. ¡°What ... What are you doing?¡± Her heart thumped wildly, and Joes swallowed her saliva. She forced herself to calm down and asked this question. However, what she got in return was a maic smile. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curved into a devilish smile. His eyes were so bright that she could clearly see her own reflection. ¡°Sisi, shouldn¡¯t you change the way you address me now?¡± His form of address ... Joesse could not help but widen her eyes, instantly understanding what Zheng Zeyi meant. Did she think that calling him by his full name was too distant and wanted to call him more intimately? He was insatiable! Joesughed, the embarrassment in her heart had been swept away, but the redness on her cheeks had not faded. At the moment, she looked rather young and inexperienced,pletely different from the all-powerful female CEO in thepany. ¡°Sure, what do you want me to call you?¡± Chapter 304

Chapter 304: What exactly is going on

Joes gave a light smile, even her tone had a hint of a smile. Since she had already decided to be with Zheng Zeyi, she would not be as tough on such details as before. Moreover, it was different from the fake address ze Yi had given her at the banquet. Now, their rtionship had been confirmed. They were no longer ... Working together. They were now a couple. Qiao sisi¡¯s heart tingled at the thought of their rtionship, and even the smile in her eyes deepened as she looked at Zheng Zeyi. After hearing her words, Zheng ze raised his beautiful brows, and a strange emotion shed across his deep eyes. He then ced his other hand on Joes¡¯s soft lips, his voice extremely seductive. ¡°What do you think you should call me?¡± F * ck! Joes felt herself being tickled, and the finger on her lips caused her brain to stop working for a moment. She opened her mouth slightly, but her eyes could not help but fall on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple, watching his sexy Adam¡¯s apple move up and down. No! I can¡¯t continue watching! The rm in her heart rang and Qiao SI¡¯s consciousness returned. She quickly reached out and pulled Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fingers away. ...... Without anything blocking her lips, she said smoothly,¡±¡±You should speak normally!¡± If this continued, she could not guarantee what she would do! Joesse¡¯s eyes were wide open. It was a pity that Zheng Zeyi did not know what she was thinking, otherwise, he would have been very happy to do so. ¡°I¡¯ve always been normal. ¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and said. Back to the topic at hand, the way she addressed him did need to be changed. If she kept calling him Zheng Zeyi, based on their current rtionship, she would indeed feel a little distant. Then ... What should I call it? A few options appeared in joesse¡¯s mind, many of which were immediately eliminated the moment she thought of them. Finally, she asked tentatively,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t we make it simple? I¡¯ll call you ze Yi, how about that?¡± This was the most eptable form of address she could ept for now. As for the rest, it would be better to wait until their rtionship developed further. Forgive her for not being able to say it now. Zheng Zeyi was not too disappointed. Instead, he smiled and nodded.¡±If you¡¯ve decided to call it this, then we¡¯ll call it this.¡± Anyway, as long as he didn¡¯t seem too distant, he didn¡¯t mind for the time being. After deciding on this matter, Jossi looked at the light above her and the distance between them. She averted her eyes slightly and said,¡±you see, it¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s all go back and rest. Ze Yi, what do you think?¡± Towards the end, her tone rose a few octaves. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. He agreed so quickly? Hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s almost unhesitating answer, even Qiao Si was confused. The next moment, she understood the reason. The handsome face in front of her eyes instantly erged, and there was a touch of gentleness on her lips. Zheng Zeyi ... Indeed had his own ideas! Joes wanted to cry but had no tears. However, all her senses were focused on her lips, on the contact between the two of them. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions were extremely gentle. Initially, Qiao SI¡¯s resistance was weak, but in the end, there was no trace of it. The atmosphere was ambiguous. The kiss only ended after a long time. When it had just ended, joesse was already gasping for air, her face flushed red. Her legs even felt weak. If Zheng ze had not supported her, she would have fallen to the ground. She was really not familiar with kissing! However, Zheng Zeyi could not help butugh.¡±You might need to practice more on this. You can¡¯t do it in this situation.¡± Then what level do you want! Joes almost lost control of her urge to roll her eyes, but she managed to suppress it in the end. For the sake of his attitude this time, I won¡¯t say it for the time being. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips moved slightly and he said,¡±¡±Alright, it¡¯s reallyte now. I should let you go back to sleep.¡± After saying that, he ced his hand on the top of Joes¡¯s head and gently rubbed it a few times.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go back,¡± Joes was stunned by his gentle touch, but she immediately smiled and said,¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll go back now. You should rest early too.¡± ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Under Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze, Qiao sisi returned to the apartment before he returned to the apartment opposite. They were separated by two doors, but they were in the same world. On the other side, Jossi was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. After a year, she was actually in love again. And the person was Zheng Zeyi. This was the most surprising part! Too many things had happened that day. Moreover, that kiss and that patch of grass had left a deep impression on joesse. Shey on the bed for a long time and only fell asleep in the middle of the night. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi was sitting in front of his desk with many documents in front of him. She couldn¡¯t sleep, so she came to deal with the documents. Compared to usual, Zheng Zeyi was obviously in a good mood today. Even the documents looked much more pleasing to the eye. He took care of it for a moment, picked up his phone, and dialed a familiar number. It was a call from old master Zheng. ¡± The call was picked up. After a few rings, old master Zheng¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°You little brat, it¡¯s sote and you¡¯re still calling me!¡± Old master Zheng looked extremely furious, but Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression did not change at all. Everything was under his control. After a moment, he said,¡±¡±Old man, you¡¯re already asleep?¡± Although it was a question, there was no doubt in it, as if he had already confirmed it. Old master Zheng felt a little guilty and cleared his throat.¡±¡±Of course.¡± ¡°Then you can continue sleeping, old man. I won¡¯t tell you anything about your granddaughter-inw.¡± Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and was about to hang up the phone. The next moment, old master Zheng retorted,¡±¡±Wait! What did you say? granddaughter-inw ... What happened again?¡± As expected, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t hold back his temper after hearing this. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and did not exin further.¡±¡±Nothing much. I just wanted to inform you that you can be discharged tomorrow.¡± ¡°Discharged?¡± Old master Zheng was confused. Seeing that Zheng Zeyi had no intention of exining, he quickly said,¡±¡±Stinky brat, you better exin yourself. What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t I say that I would gain some sympathy in the hospital and give you a chance? Did something happen?¡± ¡°Nothing happened. You¡¯ll know tomorrow.¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently. Tomorrow ... Hearing this, old master Zheng was stunned. Why did he have to wait until tomorrow? no, he could not wait any longer. ¡°Tell me now, what happened, H-Hello?!¡± Chapter 305

Chapter 305: The taste is not bad

When he heard the toot sound from the phone, old master Zheng¡¯s breathing quickened and he threw the phone on the nket. ¡°This brat, he¡¯s looking down on me more and more,¡± he said angrily. Even though they had gotten along like this in the past, old man Zheng would still get angry every time something like this happened. However, on second thought, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone seemed to suggest that there was hope for his granddaughter-inw, so he did not need to continue pretending in the hospital. ¡°Let¡¯s hope that kid can work hard. ¡± Old master Zheng muttered softly and sighed. He had no qualms about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s abilities. However, when it came to rtionships, old master Zheng was really disappointed in him. That was why he hoped that he would seize this opportunity. Joes was alsopletely unaware that their rtionship had actually caused a third person to worry. As a result, many people could not sleep that night. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. The sun rose from the East, and the weather gradually became warmer. Flowers bloomed in the warm spring, and even the breeze that brushed against their faces carried a burst of warmth. As time passed, winter had left, and what followed was spring. ...... Joes had woken up very early. After having a simple breakfast at home, she took another set of breakfast and prepared to leave. The other breakfast was ced in a special bag, and he could smell the faint aroma of food. However, just as she opened the door of the apartment, she saw a familiar figure opposite. ¡°...Zeyi? What are you doing here? were you waiting for me?¡± When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi opposite her, she could not help but be shocked. He had changed into casual clothes today, but even so, it couldn¡¯t hide his temperament and the faint mint fragrance. It was a very pleasant smell, and Jossi had smelled it more than once. ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly, but his eyes fell on the bag in her left hand. The aroma of food filled the air. The two of them were not far from each other, so they could smell it. ¡°Is this for me?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked. Upon hearing this, Joes subconsciously replied,¡±¡±Yes, it¡¯s for you.¡± Since she had already blurted it out, she simply handed the bag to Zheng Zeyi and stuffed it into his hands. ¡°It might not taste good, as long as you ... Don¡¯t mind.¡± Joes said, a little embarrassed. He was finally being humble for once. Normally, he would never admit that the food he made was not good. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I like whatever you make. ¡± Zheng ze did not hesitate to say this and waved the bag in his hand. The breakfast that Joes had prepared today was considered simple. Apart from a sandwich, there was also a cup of warm milk that was well-packaged. There was also the fried Lotus egg. He didn¡¯t prepare much else. After giving Zheng Zeyi his breakfast, Qiao si said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go to thepany first, I still have some things to do there.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a ride. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice rang out from behind her. Qiao si stopped in her tracks, thought about it, and agreed. They were already a couple, so there was nothing to be shy about. Following behind Zheng Zeyi, joesse got into his car. There was a faint aroma in the car, and it was extremely pleasant. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Zheng Zeyi opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner and waited for her to get in. If this was seen by others, many people would probably be shocked. Zheng Zeyi, who had always been in a position of power, would actually do such a thing. Joes was surprised for a moment before she reacted and sat in the car naturally. Zheng Zeyi also sat in the driver¡¯s seat and drove in the direction that Xing Yuan had designed. ¡°By the way, Zeyi, how¡¯s Grandpa Zheng doing? I¡¯ve been busy at thepany recently, so I didn¡¯t go to see him.¡± Jossi suddenly thought of old master Zheng from the private hospital. She had been busy with work these days and had forgotten about this matter. She could not help but Pat her head in frustration. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand stopped on the steering wheel. He chuckled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. I probably haven¡¯t told you that my grandfather has been discharged from the hospital.¡± It was ... Last night. Of course, he was not going to tell joesse about this. Otherwise, the series of events where old man Zheng had pretended to be sick would be exposed. At that time, things would be difficult to handle. ¡°Discharged?¡± Joes asked in surprise,¡±¡±When was she discharged? you didn¡¯t tell me about this. Grandpa Zheng¡¯s body should be fine now, right?¡± Being able to leave the hospital meant that his body had improved. At the thought of this, the worry in Joes ¡®heart dissipated a little, and she heaved a sigh of relief. She respected elder Zheng very much and hoped that the kind old man would not be tortured by his illness. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine now. The doctor said that I can go home and rest. Do you want to take some time to go see him?¡± Zheng Zeyi pursed his thin lips after he finished speaking. Hearing this, Joss nodded without hesitation and immediately agreed,¡±¡±Sure, I¡¯ll take some time to visit Grandpa Zheng. Send me the address at night. Let¡¯s do it tomorrow. I¡¯ll finish my business today and have time tomorrow. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Since the fashion show had been held the day before, there were still many things to deal with today, including the fact that President Xu had toe to thepany in the afternoon to discuss some matters. After that, he went to see old master Zheng. A few minutester, the car stopped at the building designed by Xing Yuan. The luxurious car instantly attracted the attention of many passers-by. Upon seeing this, Joes turned her head and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go up. Be careful on the road.¡± ¡°Do you want to have dinner together tonight?¡± Jossi, who was about to leave, heard this. She thought for a moment and said,¡±¡±Sure.¡± ¡°Hmm ... Did you forget something?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and revealed an evil smile. Qiao sisi¡¯s intuition told her that it was not something good, but after thinking about it, she could not figure out what Zheng Zeyi was up to. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± As soon as he said that, the temperature in the car rose a few degrees, and the ambiguity in the atmosphere arose spontaneously. Qiao si blinked her eyes and saw Zheng ze remove his hand from the steering wheel and extend it towards her. The next moment, the back of her head was covered by arge hand, and she was pulled forward. ¡°Wuuu ...¡± The touch on her lips stunned Joes. Before she could react, that soft feeling disappeared. It was a light kiss, but it was full of love. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slender fingers stopped on his thin lips and he said teasingly,¡±¡±The taste is not bad.¡± His gaze was fixed on Joes¡¯s Red lips, causing the temperature in the car to rise even more. Chapter 306

Chapter 306: The president is really considerate

¡°Zheng Zeyi!¡± Joes pretended to be angry and puffed up her cheeks. There was even a slight blush on her face, which made her look extremely delicious. She was not really angry. It was just that Zheng Zeyi was always like this, and she felt that ... He needed to be treated. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t use up all his eggs. ¡°Go, remember to have lunch.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled and reminded her. Upon hearing this, Joes¡¯s anger dissipated. She nodded slightly and turned to enter star dors design. The luxury car behind her also sped away after she entered. Joes ¡®steps were extremely fast. After entering thepany, she walked straight towards the elevator. On the way, many employees greeted her. She nodded in response. Perhaps it was because they were in love, but the aura they exuded was a little different from before. Some of the sharp-eyed employees could tell and couldn¡¯t help but wonder if the president had encountered some happy event. However, they did not think too much about it. They did not dare to talk too much about Joes in private. The elevator reached the second floor. ...... As Joes walked out of the elevator, she thought about the purchase of the building that they had discussed earlier. It was about time to start work in the next two days. At that time, thepany would also need to be reorganized, and if necessary, the employees could take a day or two off. As for the renovation and moving of the building, the third floor was the noisiest. The first and second floors were not affected much. With this thought in mind, joesse quickly arrived at the public office area. She also saw Lin ya, Wang Li, and the others who were working there. Her arrival attracted a lot of attention. Everyone stood up and greeted,¡±¡±Hello, President.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± joesse said with a smile.¡±I just came over to talk to you about something.¡± The design department of thepany had contributed a lot to the sessfulpletion of the fashion show. She had participated in the design, but she had only designed thest set of elven jewelry. The rest had been handed over to thepany¡¯s design department. To be able to receive President Xu¡¯s praise, it was all due to their own hard work. ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve seen this fashion show through the projection screen. It ended perfectly, and the jewelry designed by Xing Yuan also received unanimous praise. To be able to achieve such a result, it can not be without your hard work, so I have decided ...¡± At this point, Joes deliberately kept everyone in suspense and paused to whet the appetites of the employees. ¡°What¡¯s the president¡¯s decision?¡±someone asked. Jossi raised her eyebrows and continued with a smile. So, I¡¯ve decided to give a bonus to everyone who has made a contribution. ¡± Bonus? ¡°Whoosh!¡± The crowd burst into an uproar. No matter how much praise they gave, it couldn¡¯t bepared to the actual benefits. After hearing these words, many people¡¯s faces showed joy. This was also the system designed by Xing Yuan. They would definitely not treat those who worked hard in thepany badly. ¡°The president is wise!¡± ¡°Thank you, President, for your careful teaching!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Everyone cheered. It was probably because of the prize money that they were so excited. A substantial reward was better than anything else. Joesse¡¯s mood improved a little when she saw how happy they were, and a smile appeared on her face. The atmosphere in the office was high. Everyone was touched by the reward. While Lin ya was in high spirits, she looked at Joes, who was standing by the side, and seemed to have noticed something different about her brother. She smirked and asked curiously,¡±¡±President, what¡¯s wrong with you today? Did something good happen? you look so happy. ¡± Happy? Upon hearing this, the smile on Jossi¡¯s face froze for a moment before she immediately realized what she was talking about. It should be ... Her and Zheng Zeyi, right? They had just gotten together yesterday, and perhaps because of this, so many people had only noticed her abnormality this morning. With this thought in mind, Joes pursed her lips and her smile faded a little. Instead, two blushes of red appeared on her cheeks. ¡°Because thepany is about to expand,¡± she said softly.¡±Plus, the fashion show has ended sessfully. Isn¡¯t that a happy thing?¡± At the end of her sentence, she revealed a sweet smile. As for her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi, Joes was not too opposed to the announcement, but she still needed to find the right time. No matter what, his star essence was still gradually rising, so he still had to be careful about this. Hearing this, Lin ya nodded as if shepletely believed him, but she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°By the way, President, when will the renovation of the upper floor start?¡± Wang Li recalled this matter and asked doubtfully. Joes had already thought about the renovation in the elevator. She would contact the renovationpanyter. After discussing the necessary matters and details, they could start work. After pondering for a moment, joesse said,¡±¡±It should be in the next two days. You can have a holiday then. You have to work hard when youe back from the holiday. Thepany should be busy soon. ¡± ¡°Really?¡± Everyone eximed in shock. After confirming the vacation that joesse had mentioned, everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for work was much higher. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯re the best!¡± Lin ya cheered.¡±You¡¯re giving us a break even when we¡¯re renovating the building!¡± ¡°Yes, yes. The president is really considerate.¡± ¡°My previouspany didn¡¯t even have such good treatment. I¡¯m really lucky to havee to Xing Yuan!¡± The words of praise came one after another without stopping. Looking at the expression of such a person, Jossi felt a little helpless. However, in the end, she still smiled and exined,¡±¡±It¡¯s because you¡¯ve been busy with the fashion show for too long. Since thepany is undergoing renovation, I¡¯ll give you a paid leave. Work hard and thepany will not treat you badly. ¡± ¡°Yes! President!¡± Everyone said. After saying everything that she needed to say, Joes did not stay in the public office any longer and turned to leave. Before they left, everyone threw all their enthusiasm into their work, and the atmosphere was high. Five minutester, she took the elevator to the third floor. ¡°President.¡± Millie was standing outside the office. When Joes arrived, she quickly greeted her. Joes nodded slightly and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Boss Xu just called and said that he will arrive in Xing Yuan in about ten minutes and will be waiting for you in the guest room. In the same industry ... There are also the CEOs of a few otherpanies. CEO Bai and the others I met at the fashion show yesterday. ¡± Millie said word by word. The crowd fell silent for a moment. Joes furrowed her brows, but she had already thought of this, so she was not too surprised. It was just that those CEOs were with boss Xu, so they probably trusted this person more. Chapter 307

Chapter 307: President Qiao¡¯spany

President Bai and the rest had said at the fashion show yesterday that they woulde to Xingyuan in the next few days to discuss the cooperation. She didn¡¯t expect toe the next day, and with boss Xu at that. After sorting out her thoughts, Joes came to a conclusion and instructed,¡±¡±Miley, let me know when the Presidentse. Prepare the tea and desserts in the guest room. This time, star Yuan might have more partners. ¡± Joes revealed a smile, but her eyes shed with determination. Thesepanies were all reputable in the business world,pletely different from CEO Qu¡¯s smallpany. As long as the partnership was confirmed, it would definitely be beneficial to Xing Yuan. Millie was also a little happy and quickly nodded.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. I¡¯ll prepare it.¡± ¡°Yes, pass me the documents from the publicity department. They should have started already, right?¡± In the fashion show, the jewelry designed by Xing Yuan was the most well-received. It was also on thergest film and television tform. Countless women had a longing for these pieces of jewelry, especially thest set of Elf series jewelry. The fairy energy floated around,pletely disying the fairy¡¯s cheeky and fairy energy. Now was the time when everyone was most curious about the newpany, Xing Yuan designs. As long as the publicity department made the right use of it, it could definitely raise its reputation to a higher level. ...... In addition to the previous auction, there were definitely waves of positivements. After hearing joesse¡¯s question, Millie handed her a few documents that she had prepared and said,¡±¡±I went to the publicity department to take a look this morning. They¡¯re already preparing for the publicity, and the public rtions department is also ready. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. You¡¯ve worked hard. I¡¯ll give you a few days off.¡± Joes patted Millie¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile. ¡°Really?¡± Millie blinked.¡±Really?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I mean it. ¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and smiled as she said this. She then pushed open the office door and walked in. Every night, the office would be cleaned. As soon as he walked in, he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. The fragrance was very good, and it should have been prepared by Millie. Joes was quite satisfied, and the ss door of the office slowly closed. After Joes entered the office, Millie also went to prepare for her duties. As the president¡¯s personal assistant, she had many things to do. However, his sry was definitely the best among them, and this was rted to his ability. Thinking about the holiday, Millie¡¯s impression of Xing Yuan rose sharply. She looked at the office door with more respect. This President was much more capable than she had imagined. ¡­¡­¡­ In the office. Joes was sitting on the boss¡¯s chair, and in front of her were several opened documents, all of which had been produced by the publicity department. She was holding a pen in her hand and was spinning it casually, but she was thinking about something. Before she fell asleep that night, Joes had sent Millie a text message regarding the matter regarding the public rtions department that she had just mentioned. There were some details that he had to pay attention to. The reason she did this was because of the three women she had met in the banquet hall yesterday. That was qu ya and two other socialites. In short, they didn¡¯t look ordinary. What happened in the banquet hall yesterday was not a good thing to make friends with. Instead, it had nted the seeds of hatred between them. She believed that those women would never give up so easily. It was clear from their final performance. Joes wanted Xing Yuan to make a big deal out of the fashion show and increase his poprity. This matter might not be noticed by people with ulterior motives, and it might even be retaliated against. Only by letting the public rtions department make the necessary preparations to prevent those people¡¯s actions would the matter be foolproof. At the thought of this, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. Then, she began to work on the documents on the table. There weren¡¯t many documents, so it only took a few minutes. ¡°Buzz.¡± At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated. Joes opened it and saw that it was a message. And the sender of the text message ... Was Zheng Zeyi. Joesse¡¯s lips unconsciously curled up into a smile as she opened her phone and looked at it seriously. Zheng Zeyi,¡±are you busy at thepany?¡± Seeing this message, she thought for a moment, her fingers quickly tapped on the screen, and sent the two words ¡°I¡¯m not busy¡±. In the end, barely two seconds after she sent the message, Jossi received a reply. ¡°So fast?¡± Joes herself was stunned. Just as she was about to open the door to take a look, someone knocked on the office door.¡±Knock, knock.¡± Almost instantly, she guessed what it was. He put his phone aside for the time being. He didn¡¯t have time to reply to his text messages at the moment. It shouldn¡¯t be toote to reply after he settled things. As joesse thought about this, she waspletely unaware that on the other end of the screen, a certain CEO was anxiously waiting for a reply. Unfortunately, he probably wouldn¡¯t receive a reply in the near future. ¡°Come in.¡± After Joes finished, Millie pushed the door open and said,¡±¡±President, President Xu and the rest have arrived. I have invited them to the guest room.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse pursed her lips.¡±¡±Okay, I got it. I¡¯ll go immediately.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± After reporting the matter, Millie pushed the door open and left, leaving Joes alone in the office, deep in thought. After sitting for a while, she got up and walked towards the guest room. As for the coboration, Joes actually had some ideas, but she did not know what CEO Bai and the others were thinking. What project could be a win-win situation for both sides and was rted to jewelry design? With this thought in mind, joesse walked into the guest room and saw President Xu and the others in suits. There were a total of four. Apart from President Xu, there were President Bai, President Lin, and President Zhai, whom he had met yesterday. The reception room was spacious and decorated simply. There were already refreshments on the table, and the CEOs were very satisfied. After Joes walked in, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Boss Xu, boss Bai ... I didn¡¯t expect you two toe together.¡± Upon hearing this, boss Xu took a sip of tea and smiled.¡±¡±I came here alone, but I met CEO Bai and the others on the way. Since we have the same destination, we came here together. ¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Director Bai nodded. At this time, President Lin nced around the guest room and said,¡±¡±We¡¯ve taken a look at President Qiao¡¯spany when we came up. It¡¯s not a bigpany, but it¡¯s built very well. I heard that you¡¯ve already booked an entire building and will be renovating soon, right?¡± Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Chapter 308 sinister n

At the end of his sentence, President Lin nced at Jossi. They were all CEOs of bigpanies and were well-informed. In fact, she had just bought it not long ago, but these people found out so quickly. Zheng Zeyi had no intention of hiding it. He had even secretly promoted this matter behind their backs. Otherwise, if he wanted to hide it, almost no one would know. Joes nodded and agreed,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. It should start in the next few days. Thepany has just been established not long ago, so there are a lot of troublesome things to do.¡± She smiled bitterly and found a seat opposite the CEOs. ¡°What are you saying, President Qiao? which newpany can develop as fast as Xing Yuan? it¡¯s indeed thepany with the most potential I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± Director Bai praised. It sounded like she was trying to tter him, but it was not the case. He did have some admiration for Joes. To be able to develop star origin to this stage in such a short time required a certain amount of strength. President Xu nodded in agreement.¡±I agree with what you said, President Bai.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite. ¡± Joes could not help butugh. In an instant, the atmosphere in the guest room was harmonious. Everyone said a few polite words before they really entered the main topic. ¡­¡­¡­ ...... At the same time, something rted to Joes was happening in a certain ce. In the Yang family vi, in the room upstairs. In a luxurious room, the decorations were gorgeous, and even the furniture was extremely exquisite. Yang Yue Yue was sitting in the corner of the bed, holding her phone in her hand andmunicating with someone with a gloomy face. After some discussion, they finally reached an agreement. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s lips curled into a malicious smile as she said to the person on the phone,¡±¡±Take action within the next few days. Don¡¯t let anyone get a hold of you, understand?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, miss yang. We will get this done for you. It¡¯s just a matter of money ...¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about money. As long as you do a good job, you will be rewarded.¡± Yang Yue Yue sneered. ¡°Then there¡¯s no problem. Miss yang, just wait for the good news.¡± ¡°I hope so,¡± Yang Yue Yue nodded. After she hung up, she put her phone aside and looked out the window at the scenery outside. ¡°Ha ...¡± Yang Yue Yue sneered and mumbled,¡±¡±Joesse, this time, just wait for your reputation to be ruined!¡± His tone was extremely vicious, as if he was a demon who had climbed up from hell. She did not believe that she would not be able to get rid of Joes after finding those hooligans with tricks up their sleeves! He must teach this B * tch a lesson! Yang Yue Yue had contacted a few famous gangsters in city h who had even done many things like burning, killing, and plundering. However, because of his good hiding skills, he had not been caught by the city h guards and was active in the dark areas of the city. Yang Yue Yue had spent some effort to find them. It was clear how much she would do to teach Jossi a lesson that she would even invite these hooligans. The few gangsters were also preparing to capture Joes. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s request for them was to capture and drug joesse when she left Xing Yuan design, and then secretly bring her to the Yang family¡¯s Jiali hotel. They entered from the back door and went straight to the room with the camera. This was all part of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s sinister n. In the end, as long as she allowed these punks to rape Joes and take a video of it ... Then, her life would be almost ruined. In Yang Yue Yue¡¯s mind, Zheng Zeyi would never look down on a woman who had been vited. When she achieved her goal, she would see how arrogant this B * tch could be! With this information in his hands, he could even destroy Xing Yuan¡¯s design andpletely disappear from the business world. It had to be said that this was the first time these gangsters had seen such a vicious woman. Although it wasn¡¯t a direct murder, the psychological shadow caused by such an incident was definitely much more terrifying than killing. In an old bedroom, a burly man hung up the phone. The other two thinner men were listening to the phone with their ears closed. Until the burly man said casually,¡±¡±I really didn¡¯t expect that these women from the wealthy families could be so vicious.¡± After hearing this, The Thin Man lit a cigarette, and the smoke lingered. He took a puff of his cigarette and squinted his eyes.¡±Who cares what they want to do? we just need to get the money, right, boss?¡± ¡°Of course I am.¡± The burly man raised his eyebrows. These three gangsters were very famous in city H. The burly man was the boss of the three, and he was usually called that. The one who was smoking was second, and the other one who was silent was third. The three of them might look calm now, but their hands were stained with the blood of many people! Moreover, the second son was extremely lecherous. Because of this hobby, he had touched many women and was hated by them. This Commission had its advantages and disadvantages. Originally, they wouldn¡¯t have epted a job like kidnapping the daughter of a rich family because it was especially dangerous. After all, if you were to provoke those rich people, they would use tens of millions to snipe you in the assassin circle, and the rest of your life would be over. However, the second brother was extremely daring. He had long wanted to y with this kind of rich girl. He had only seen this kind of thing on television before. In addition, yang Yueyue¡¯s sry was not low, and could even be said to be generous. That was why second brother had been instigating the other two to agree to take on this order. The three of them wanted to finish this job. At most, they would nevere back and escape to other cities. With Yang Yue Yue¡¯s reward, he would be able to live the rest of his life without worry. ¡°These are the messages that the woman sent me. They¡¯re all about that joesse or something. Take a look.¡± The boss took out his phone. The screen disyed a photo of Jossi. The boss began to exin the general situation to his two brothers, which was that Joes¡¯spany was located in a busy area. Because there were usually more pedestrians, they had to choose a suitable time and ce to make a move. If he was seen, he wouldn¡¯t have to do what he was going to do next. Boss also told second brother and third brother about some of Yang Yue Yue¡¯s requests. The most important thing was to not leave any evidence behind. This was also the main reason Yang Yue Yue had looked for them. ¡°Do you all understand? Miss yang asked us to get started as soon as possible. The earlier weplete it, the more we will be paid. ¡± The boss said. After he finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He took a deep puff with an intoxicated expression. Chapter 309

Chapter 309: The former top designer

¡°Today!¡± The second brother¡¯s expression turned vicious, and he could not help but reveal a vicious smile. To be honest, this mission seemed to be hiding a great danger, but in fact, it was also a romantic encounter for them. This chief Qiao wasn¡¯t bad. If they caught him, and ... Tsk tsk, just thinking about it made second brother¡¯s entire body burn up, let alone the other two. After reaching a consensus, the three of them began to discuss the next n to be implemented. ¡°Second and third, I¡¯m going to get some knockout powderter. You two go to herpany and keep an eye on her. As long as that womanes out, tie her up. I¡¯ll go and settle what happened at the hotel that year. ¡± The bossughed. The second and third brothers nodded in agreement. After the discussion, the three of them left the dirty room and one of them headed in the direction of Jiali hotel. As for the other two, they headed towards the star elemental design building that Joes was in. In short, both sides were keeping watch. As soon as they finished this job and got the money, they would run away with the money. In this way, no consequences would fall on them. ...... It had to be said that it was a beautiful thought. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other hand, Joes had no idea that she was being watched and was still in the guest room discussing with President Xu and the others. Regarding the matter of the fashion show yesterday, they had also reached a conclusion. ¡°So, President Qiao, do you have any intention to sign the next cooperation contract? I don¡¯t just want to hold a fashion show in city H. The Xu family¡¯spany is also using this opportunity to expand. I believe everyone can see this. ¡± President Xu smiled as he said this. He then put down the teacup in his hand and pushed the contract in front of Qiao si. What was written on the contract was the contract for future cooperation. Just likest time, it was a win-win contract. The fashion show this time also let President Xu see the potential of Xing Yuan¡¯s design. The jewelry that came out were all high-quality jewelry. As long as this could be maintained, both sides would be able to gain huge benefits. Joes was not a fool and she was very clear on this point. Signing this contract would be beneficial to both her and Xing Yuan design. Thinking of this, she nced at the documents on the table and smiled. She said,¡±¡±Of course, boss Xu¡¯s goal is far. I¡¯m naturally willing to help if it¡¯s a win-win cooperation.¡± After saying that, Joes picked up the fountain pen at the side and signed her name on the contract without any hesitation. They went with the flow and stamped it, which could be considered to be really finalized. She had already read the contract carefully and there were no problems with it. Otherwise, she would not have signed it so decisively. Upon seeing this, President Xu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face. He praised,¡±¡±President Qiao is so heart-shaped.¡± The other CEOs all had their own thoughts when they saw this scene. However, these things had already been put on the surface, so there was nothing to say. They all gave their blessings and wished that the project would be popr. After talking about President Xu¡¯s matters, it was the other presidents ¡®turn. The purpose of their visit to Xing Yuan today was to talk about cooperation, and they also wanted to cooperate with a few families on a big project. He had this intention, but it had not been finalized yet. ¡°I wonder what you guys are thinking right now. If you don¡¯t mind, you can tell me.¡± Joes said with a smile. After hearing this, CEO Bai deliberated for a while and did not continue to hide it. ¡°¡±It¡¯s like this, I have some thoughts about the designer Competition a year ago. The event a year ago looked Grand, but it wasn ¡®t. Many designers didn¡¯t participate. ¡± Then, President Lin added,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, I have the same idea. If there¡¯s such an opportunity, it¡¯ll be great to hold it again.¡± Designer Competition? At the mention of this term, Joris was slightly taken aback, but she quickly regained her senses and was a little puzzled. She had also participated in the designer Competition a year ago and won first ce with a prize of 200000 Yuan. That was a huge change in her life, and she would never forget it. President Bai and President Lin¡¯s sudden mention of this matter made Joes feel a lot more emotional. It was definitely feasible to hold a Designer Competition again and expand the scale. Not only did he collect so many good works, but he could also promote them to the public. No matter what, he didn¡¯t lose out. If she really wanted to do it, she had to do better in every aspect. This was also what joesse thought. She went through the matter in her heart. She thought so in her heart and said the same thing, but in a different way. ¡°President Bai, I agree with what you said. This project can be done. There are many jewelry designpanies in the industry. Thepanies under your names are also involved and can be linked together, but the judges ...¡± At this point, Joes paused. As for the evaluation, she had not thought of a suitable candidate yet. The designer judges from a year ago were naturally not good enough. It was fine to support apetition of that level, but if he wanted to expand the scale and let more designers participate, he would need to find higher level judges. For example, the former top designers, or the current ones. But it wasn¡¯t an easy task to invite such a Big Shot. As soon as he finished speaking, President Zhai continued,¡±President Qiao, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ve thought about this before we came. I happen to have a rtionship with a former top designer. He¡¯s still active in the jewelry design industry, but he¡¯s not as famous as he used to be. ¡± ¡°A former top designer ...¡± Jossi pursed her lips and asked in confusion. Although her voice was a little soft, Chairman Chu still heard her. ¡°Yes, he used to be. There shouldn¡¯t be many people who know about it now, but his enthusiasm for this industry has not diminished. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem if I were to invite him to participate in this kind of thing. ¡± At the end of his sentence, Chairman Chuughed bitterly, and a hint of helplessness could be heard in his tone. It could be seen that this person was probably an old friend of his. He used to be a top designer, but now he was on the decline and didn¡¯t even have much fame in the design industry. Of course, this was disappointing, but it was a normal thing. Not everyone could always shine. Even Joes did not think that way. President Bai and the others did not ignore the conversation between the two. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then spoke. Chapter 310 - You can go wherever you want

Chapter 310: You can go wherever you want

¡°Now that most of the matters have been decided, there are still some things that need to be prepared. How about we hold it in a month?¡± Director Bai asked. A month¡¯s time was not short. While it was still early, holding a Designer Competition could also attract a lot of people¡¯s attention. It could also promote the jewelry designer industry to the outside world and attract more people who were enthusiastic about this industry. Director Bai¡¯s words gained the approval of everyone. A month¡¯s time was enough. ¡°There¡¯s enough time. How about a few of ourpanies be the organizers and we invite otherpanies to join in the future?¡± It was president Lin who spoke. ¡°No problem,¡± he said. ¡°I think so too,¡± Some details of the contract still needed to be drafted, so after everyone agreed, they all had the intention to leave. After this trip, he had more thoughts in his mind. President Xu was the first to stand up. After he stood up, he smiled at Joes and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, it¡¯s been a pleasure working with you. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly and stood up to send him off.¡±¡±Happy working with you. Goodbye, boss Xu.¡± ...... After that, the other presidents stood up and bade Jossi farewell before leaving the guest room and heading towards thepany¡¯s main entrance. In order to show her sincerity, Joes sent them all the way to the elevator. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them leave. When he returned to the office, he saw Miley waiting at the door. ¡°President, I just received a few calls. They are all calls from smallpanies, wanting to cooperate with Xing Yuan.¡± Millie said respectfully. After the fashion show incident, of course, there were many people who thought about it, but there were pitifully few who actually took this step. President Xu and President Bai were considered as such, and so were the Presidents of these smallpanies. However, at the very least, he had to let Jossi see the value of the coboration. Otherwise, she would not have signed the contract so easily. Having made her decision, Joes said decisively,¡±¡±Talk to them first and see what the projects are. If it¡¯s possible, I¡¯ll be the one to negotiate with them. There might be suitable projects. ¡± One of joesse¡¯s principles was not to underestimate him. This was because Xing Yuan design was currently a smallpany, and a smallpany needed time to grow before it could be regarded highly by others. Millie immediately understood and quickly nodded.¡±¡±Understood, President!¡± ¡°By the way, Miley, here¡¯s the car key. You can get off work earlyter and help me drive the car to the 5s shop for maintenance.¡± ¡°Maintenance?¡± Millie was confused. Joes smiled. As the car was always parked outside, there were many scratches on the body of the car. The scratches would affect the aesthetics. Thepany wasn¡¯t far from the blue sky Apartment, so it was just a matter of taking a taxi. ¡°There are some scratches. You can just tell the 5s shop staff. I¡¯ll let you know the billter.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Millie agreed. The earlier it was repaired, the earlier it could be used. He didn¡¯t n to buy those more expensive luxury cars, so he had to treat this car well. This was to prevent others from thinking that the star essence design was not impressive at all. After saying that, Jossi walked into the office and recalled something important. That was ... She seemed to have forgotten to reply to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s message. ¡°He should be busy, so he probably hasn¡¯t noticed.¡± After mumbling to herself, Joes looked a little guilty. She quickly walked to the table and took her phone. When she saw that thest message on the screen was the same as the previous one, she couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of relief. Good, good, it seemed like he didn¡¯t notice. However, what Qiao si did not know was that the man at the Zheng Corporation had already checked his phone countless times. However, she still didn¡¯t see the message. The pressure around her was so low that even assistant li couldn¡¯t take it. Thepany¡¯s employees were even more jittery, not knowing who had provoked their own President. ¡°I was busy just now. Remember to have lunch.¡± Jossi raised her eyebrows and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She then sent the message. After she sent the message, she smiled and put her phone aside. She then started to deal with thepany¡¯s Affairs. After receiving the text message, the depressed President Zheng finally smiled, and all the employees felt that they were saved. If they had known that it was because of joesse, they would have been deeply grateful. Joes was working in her office with a peace of mind. The documents in front of her almost formed a mountain. It was almost evening, the time when thepany employees were about to get off work. Joes massaged her brows. After sitting at the table for an entire afternoon, she was a little tired. She even had to settle her lunch casually. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Just as she was taking a short break, the phone on the table suddenly rang. It was Zheng Zeyi. Joes took a sip of water to moisten her throat and picked up the phone,¡±¡±Hello? What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still calling me ¡°hey¡±?¡± There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then three maic words came out of the phone, with heavy emphasis on each word. It was obvious that Zheng Zeyi was extremely dissatisfied with this ¡®hey¡¯. Upon hearing this, joesse felt her fatigue being swept away. Instead, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Alright, alright, I¡¯ve called you ze Yixing, right? I¡¯ve just finished dealing with some matters. Are you here to have dinner with me?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and a smile shed across his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know. ¡± He had already mentioned this in the morning. He had thought that Jossi had already forgotten about it, but she still remembered. Since they had just gotten together, Zheng Zeyi naturally had to think of ways to spend more time together. ¡°I¡¯ll go out now. How about the Royal Restaurant? ¡°Joes rubbed her shoulders, then got up, took her things, and walked out of the door. Speaking of the Royal Restaurant, there were quite a few things that happened there. At the very least, he had a deep impression of them. He had met a few of the best, but the dishes were not bad. If not, Joes would not have chosen that ce. There must be something to be gained from it. ¡°You can go wherever you want, but ... You don¡¯t need me to pick you up, do you? I won¡¯t do anything to you.¡± An ambiguous voice came from the phone. Upon hearing this, Qiao si could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she gritted her teeth and wished she could give Zheng ze a good beating. Thinking of what happened in the morning, she felt that this man¡¯s methods were very skillful. He was simply self-taught! Didn¡¯t he say that he didn¡¯t have much contact with Lin Xiu ¡®er during his time with her? that was why she couldn¡¯t bear the loneliness and cheated on him, right? However, looking at the situation now, Zheng Zeyi was clearly a very good learner. Even after so many times, Joes still could not resist. Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Who wants to kill?

It could be seen from this that she was often teased until her legs went soft. ¡°Hooligan! I don¡¯t want to talk to you, just wait for me at the Royal Restaurant!¡± After saying this in a Huff, Joes hung up the phone without hesitation and kept her phone. Thepany wasn¡¯t too far from the Royal Restaurant anyway, only a few steps away. She didn¡¯t need someone to pick her up on such a short journey. On the other side, Zheng Zeyi also chuckled. His maicughter echoed in the office. Assistant li, who was watching from the side, was stunned. Without thinking much, he guessed that it was because of Jossi. Now ... Only this President Qiao could make their President smile like this. As expected, she was the woman that the president had taken a fancy to. The employees of Xing Yuan design left one after another, and so did joesse. During this period, many employees said goodbye to her. She responded to them one by one. It was only when she left thepany that she felt that something was wrong. In a short moment, all the hair on his body stood up. Joes¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. The sudden sense of danger in her heart made her feel at a loss. Did ... Something happen? With a sense of doubt in her heart, Joes scanned the crowd. They were all ordinary people, and it could be said that there was an endless stream of people. ...... It was the peak hour after work, and there were countless cars and pedestrians on the road. All of these factors made it impossible for Joes to identify the source of the sense of danger. Could it be an illusion? Joesse¡¯s brows did not rx. She gripped her bag tightly and walked towards the crowded street. The car had been sent for maintenance in the morning, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t be in such a passive state now. What she didn¡¯t see was that a figure hidden in the crowd was also hurriedly following behind her. Second brother was leaning against the telephone pole. When he saw Joss, he got excited and sent a voice message on his phone. ¡°Boss, third brother, that woman is out. She¡¯s walking towards the department store.¡± After the boss heard this, he quickly told the second and third brothers to be more careful and not be discovered. He would rush over now. He had already given the knockout powder to his younger brother. For the reward that Yang Yue Yue had given them, these few people hade to see her, afraid that they would be captured by Wanwan if they could not see Qiao si. On the other hand, third brother followed behind Joes quietly. After second brother finished his report, he also followed. After leaving the office, joesse did not go anywhere else. She felt a little uneasy and walked around the office. Her eyelids twitched, and she squinted her eyes to observe the passersby around her. Perhaps they seemed like passersby, but in fact, they were in danger? Joes had many enemies, and they were all vicious people, so she did not dare to let her guard down. The noiseing from the surroundings was very noisy, but it didn¡¯t sound abnormal. ¡°Hey, have you heard? there¡¯s a new TV series today. Let¡¯s go back and watch it together tonight.¡± ¡°Sure, sure.¡± This seemed to be a conversation between close friends. After listening for a while, Jossi turned her attention to other things. However, they seemed to be ordinary passers-by. He didn¡¯t see anyone dressed differently or acting strangely. After some thought, joesse pursed her lips and walked towards a clothing store with a huge floor mirror. Perhaps ... She could discover that someone was following her. At this time, second and third, who were following her, were also a little impatient, but they still didn¡¯t dare to lose her. After seeing her leave, she quickly followed her and used the other pedestrians to block her figure. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this woman?¡± No. 3 cursed.¡±We¡¯ve been walking for so long and I can¡¯t tell what she¡¯s doing.¡± The second brother also said impatiently,¡±¡±Who knows? let¡¯s just follow her for now, if she doesn¡¯t leave this ce as expected. Then let¡¯s just make a move and don¡¯t let the people around us find out. I don¡¯t believe that we can¡¯t even deal with a woman. ¡± The two of them looked at each other and quietly followed. ¡°Who is it? Is it real or is it just an illusion?¡± The thought popped up in Joes ¡®mind, and just as she had a clue, she arrived at the entrance of the clothing store. Standing at the entrance, one could still see the huge floor mirror in the center of the shop. There were many people trying on clothes at the moment, so there was nothing in front of the mirror to block the view. The clean full-length mirror reflected Joes¡¯s figure, as well as the heavy traffic and surging crowd behind her. She looked through the mirror inch by inch and finally saw two suspicious men in caps in the crowd. It seemed that they didn¡¯t want people to see their true faces. ¡°Is it them?¡± Joes mumbled softly, and her eyes turned sharp. Regardless of whether it was him or not, she felt a sense of danger. The most important thing now was to spread the news! At the thought of this, Jossi took out her phone from her pocket. Just as she was about to send a message, a cry of surprise came from the crowd. Joes frowned but did not look back. Her fingersnded on the screen and quickly tapped on it. As long as she sent the message to Zheng Zeyi, even if she was really in danger, the situation would not be more difficult than she had imagined. ¡°Oh my God, what¡¯s wrong with this man?¡± ¡°Hurry up! Hurry up and call the ambnce, this person has fainted!¡± ¡­¡­ The voices behind him continued to enter his ears, and even many people in the clothing store had left, making Joes¡¯s area unnoticeable. Just as she finished typing and was about to send the message, a hand grabbed a wet wipe and covered her mouth. ¡°Oh!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened, and the phone in her hand was snatched away by anotherrge hand. At this moment, she had already been dragged into the small alley beside the clothing store. From the mirror, she could see that the person behind her was one of the two men. Although she was strong, her strength was naturally notparable to an adult man ¡®s. Let me go! Joes wanted to struggle and even bit third brother¡¯s hand, but the wet tissue was smeared with a strong drug. Very quickly, her strength gradually decreased. She furrowed her brows tightly and clenched her fists unwillingly. Who ... Was it? To do such a vicious thing? Who wanted to kill him! A few candidates popped up in her mind, and many thoughts ran through her mind. However, the effects of the knockout powder were starting to show. Her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. Even if she forced herself not to close them, there was no way she could do anything. In the end, Joes lost all her strength to struggle. Her eyes slowly closed as she was dragged into the alley. Chapter 312

Chapter 312: Miss yang is indeed rich

Because of the sudden movement in the crowd, many people didn¡¯t notice this scene. In addition, third brother¡¯s other two aplices were covering it up. After seeding, third brother dragged joesse into the sack. His actions were clean and neat, without any sloppiness. It could be seen that he often did this kind of thing, and his methods were very skillful. Third brother heaved a sigh of relief only after putting Jossi in. He nced at the phone in his hand and saw that the screen was still on the message-sending page. He nced at the bulging sack and sneered,¡±¡±B * tch, you even wanted to send a message to your boyfriend for help. Fortunately, we found out long ago. If you want to me someone, me yourself for provoking youngdy Yang. Otherwise, your end would not be so miserable. ¡± After he finished speaking, third brother turned off his phone and put it in his pocket. He then made an ok gesture to the crowd. When the boss saw this, he nodded slightly and squeezed in to give the second boss a kick. Then, he quietly left the crowd. When second brother saw this, he clutched his chest and breathed rapidly. He slowly opened his eyes and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, just now ... Just now my illness acted up. ¡± After saying that, he took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it in, as if he had just woken up. The passersby didn¡¯t know what was going on, but seeing that he was fine, they all felt a little more at ease. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. Be careful next time when you¡¯re out. You have to carry this medicine with you.¡± ¡°Brother, I almost called the emergency number.¡± ...... Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, second brother quickly retreated and saw first brother and third brother getting into a ck car with a sack. Without any hesitation, he also sat on it. The car started up instantly, leaving behind a trail of ck exhaust gas. The crowd gradually dispersed. No one would have thought that someone would be secretly taken away in such a chaos. The car sped towards Jiali hotel. Boss sat in the driver¡¯s seat and took out his phone to call Yang Yue Yue. ¡°Hello? Have you finished your business?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s nonchnt voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. Even so, one could still hear some anticipation and determination from her voice. This time around, Joes would not lose out too much. For the sake of money, these people would do anything. Furthermore, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s conditions were very generous. As long as he did not mind the danger in the future, it was enough to not have to worry about money for a long time. Hearing Yang Yue Yue¡¯s words, the bossughed out loud,¡±¡±Hahaha, miss yang is underestimating us three brothers. This woman was discovered by us as soon as she left thepany. She¡¯s quite vignt, but she¡¯s still too inexperienced to fight us. ¡± The boss sneered. After he finished speaking, he looked at the sack in the back seat. Third brother sat at the side and watched to prevent any idents from happening. Yang Yue Yue raised her brows, her voice filled with unconceble joy,¡±¡±Well done. I¡¯ll be waiting for you at the top floor of Jiali hotel. When the timees, just take the cargo passage and don¡¯t let anyone see you. After the matter is done, the money will be transferred to your ount as promised. ¡± ¡°Thank you, miss yang. We¡¯lle over now.¡± Boss¡¯s eyes were filled with greed. After that, the two hung up at the same time. Yang Yueyue put down her phone and looked at the huge French window. She squinted her eyes slightly, and the dark glint in her eyes was like that of a poisonous snake. ¡°Joess...Just wait for your death!¡± The demon¡¯s low voice sounded. Yang Yue Yue could not help but smile when she thought of how Jessi had broken down. As she yed with her fingers, she thought about the oue after the matter waspleted. When Zheng ze gave up on Joes, he might be able to set his sights on her. With the Yang and Zheng families working together, no one in city h would dare to mess with them. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s smile brightened, but she did not know that joesse and Zheng ze had already confirmed their rtionship. In the car, the boss hung up the phone and received the gazes of the second and third brothers. ¡°Boss, what did that woman say?¡± The second brother¡¯s eyes were as big as green beans, and one could see his greed at a nce. ¡°Yeah, boss, that woman said when she¡¯ll pay.¡± The third brother quickly said. The boss exined as he drove,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, she said that as long as we give this woman ... She will transfer the money to us directly. I don¡¯t think she would dare to lie to us, otherwise, we brothers wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with. ¡± The boss¡¯s tone changed as he spoke. After all, they were ruthless people who lived in the dark side of city H. If they were cheated by such a deal, they would not let it go. ¡°Boss is right. It seems that we can do a lot of things after getting the money.¡± Second brother¡¯s eyes lit up. He rubbed the stubble on his chin with his fingers and couldn¡¯t help but lick his dry lips. Speaking of which, he was also a little impatient. The car continued to move forward and arrived at Jiali hotel in a few minutes without being discovered by anyone. ¡­¡­¡­ Meanwhile, at the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. In a luxury car, Zheng Zeyi was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, his well-defined hands tapping on the steering wheel nonchntly. The Royal Restaurant was only a few minutes away. After some thought, he picked up his phone and sent Jossi a text message: ¡°Give me five minutes.¡± After waiting for a while, he did not receive a reply. Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly, but he did not think much about it when he recalled what had happened in the morning. He started the car and headed to the Royal Restaurant. The two parties missed each other perfectly, and the unsent text message in the phone in third brother¡¯s pocket was still in the draft box. A few minutester. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. The boss parked the car in a small alley next to Jiali hotel and unbuckled his seat belt. This ce was rtively hidden, and there were no surveince cameras. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they were recorded. Although they had been active for a long time and had not been caught by the city h guards, there was no harm in being careful. After that, the three of them carried the sack and entered the hotel through the back door. They came to the exclusive staff passage. There was no one near the passage, and it was very quiet. Even if a needle fell to the ground, one could hear it clearly. This was the result of Yang Yue Yue¡¯smunication. She had long stopped people from approaching this ce. Jiali hotel was her family¡¯s business, so naturally, she could do whatever she wanted. ¡°This miss Yang¡¯s family is indeed rich. The hotel looks so luxurious. I¡¯ve never seen many of them.¡± The third brother clicked his tongue, but he still couldn¡¯t look away from the rich and beautiful people around him. Chapter 313

Chapter 313: I won¡¯t waste my breath on you

¡°Aren¡¯t you talking nonsense? Which of these rich people isn¡¯t filthy rich? otherwise, where would they get the money to hire us to do things?¡± The second brother pouted. The three of them chatted as they reached the top floor. When he pushed open the door of the emergency exit, he was greeted by a clean and luxurious walkway, with carefully cut flower pots on both sides. It even gave off a faint fragrance. The boss and the other two watched intently. Finally, they found the number Yang Yue Yue had mentioned, opened the door, and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Yang Yue Yue sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot ck tea. She blew on the ck tea and took a sip. Then, her eyes fell on the three people at the door. Finally, he looked at the sack. ¡°Has everything been settled?¡± Yang Yue Yue couldn¡¯t contain her joy. She put down the teacup in her hand and took the initiative to walk towards the three of them. ¡°Of course.¡± Seeing this, the boss took the initiative to open the sack in his hands and threw Joes, who was inside, onto therge bed in the middle. Because she had inhaled arge amount of knockout powder, she did not show any signs of waking up, but her beautiful brows were still tightly furrowed. As long as he woke up, he would be able to see the real culprit of this time! ...... ¡°Miss yang, as long as we get this woman ... We can get the 500000 yuan you said, right?¡± Third brother rubbed his palms together. His face was filled with greed. Compared to women, he still loved money more. Yang Yue Yue nodded and pointed at the camera not far away.¡±¡±Of course, I want her to be a promiscuous woman!¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face was twisted. The boss and the other two looked at each other and did not say anything. They quickly arrived in front of the big bed. Just as they were about to reach out to joesse with their perverted hands, they were suddenly stopped. ¡°Wait,¡± It was Yang Yue Yue. Since she had spoken, the three of them stopped and looked at her in confusion. Yang Yue Yueughed coldly and did not say anything else. She picked up a basin of cold water from the table and mercilessly sshed it on Qiao si si. What was the point of not knowing anything? Only by watching himself being tortured and falling into the abyss with a clear mind would he be satisfied! The cold water was too stimting, and the effect of this drug was rtively short, so Joes¡¯s body trembled. Then, he slowly opened his eyes, but his mind was still in a daze. Where ... Was this ce? Joes opened her mouth slightly, wanting to make a sound. However, she had no strength left since she had just woken up, so she could only lie on the bed. Even moving one¡¯s eyes was an extremely strenuous matter. The scene before she fell unconscious reyed in her mind. She couldn¡¯t forget the faces of the three people. After going through the situation in her mind, Joes was certain that she was in danger. At the same time, her body had also recovered some strength. Joes took a deep breath and scanned her surroundings. Yang Yue Yue! As expected, it was her! Just as she shifted her gaze, Joes saw the culprit and could not help but clench her teeth in anger. She had guessed before that it might be her enemy, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be this woman who was haunting her. It seemed that he had been too gentle thest time, allowing Yang Yue Yue to still have the mood to cause trouble here! As for the hotel room¡¯s environment, as well as boss and the other two, joesse had noticed them. However, the main reason was Yang Yue Yue, and nothing had happened yet, so she had ced all her attention on Yang Yue Yue. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you surprised to see me? you didn¡¯t expect that I was the one who sent people to do this?¡± Yang Yue Yue raised her eyebrows, feeling a sense of carefreeness. Joesse had been sshed with a basin of cold water and was now in a rather sorry state. Her jet-ck hair was stuck to her face and neck. Her fair skin and the color of her hair formed a sharp contrast. Even her shirt was a little hidden. Fortunately, she was wearing a coat to cover up her body. Second brother couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. He had to admit that this woman was really of the highest quality! The crisis in front of her, coupled with Yang Yue Yue¡¯s provocation, made Qiao si si a little angry. However, getting angry at this time was also an extremely unwise move. She slowly let out a breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Qiao si si looked at Yang Yue Yue coldly and said,¡±¡±This is the reason you did this? He used all kinds of despicable means. If you had met me face to face, I might have looked at you more highly, but now ... Your methods are really disdainful. ¡± Disdainful? Yang Yue Yueughed as if she had just heard a joke. She could not help but pick up the cup of ck tea again. She gulped it down and wiped the corner of her mouth before continuing,¡±¡±Jossi, Who Do You Think You Are? do you think you¡¯re worthy of fighting me? Why do I have to meet you face to face? right now, your life and death are in my hands. As long as I¡¯m not satisfied, you won¡¯t have a good end. If you know what¡¯s good for you, kneel down and apologize to me. If I¡¯m in a good mood, maybe I¡¯ll let you go and you won¡¯t have to face three men. ¡± Hisughter echoed in the room, making it a little creepy. The three men she was referring to were none other than her boss and the other two men who were eyeing her covetously at the side. None of them were good people. In front of them was a camera. As long as one wasn¡¯t an idiot, they would know what was going to happen next. Yang Yue Yue did not have any good intentions from the start. Joes¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes were calm and collected, as if nothing had happened. A momentter, a mocking voice sounded,¡±¡±Yang Yueyue, stop joking. Do you even believe what you¡¯ve just said?¡± Would Yang Yue Yue let her go? Don¡¯t joke around! She just liked the feeling of crushing her opponent. No, this woman was not worthy of being her opponent. ¡°You¡¯re right. Then I won¡¯t waste my breath with you. The three of you ...¡± Yang Yue Yue nodded and looked at the boss and the others. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Looking at this scene, Joes furrowed her brows. Her mind was spinning rapidly, trying to stall for time. ¡°What are you doing? Have you changed your mind?¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s brows twitched as she looked at Qiao si si with disdain. Upon hearing this, Joes calmly replied,¡±¡±Are you sure you want to do this? after you do this, the Yang family will not have a good ending.¡± On the surface, they were negotiating, but in reality, they were rapidly thinking of a solution. Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Why are you here?

There was no other way to get out of this situation. Various ideas appeared in her mind, but none of them were feasible at the moment, so Joes immediately eliminated them. It was impossible to say that he wasn¡¯t nervous. But in this situation, other than thinking of a way to deal with it, there was only one choice, and that was to be forced to ept it. Joes did not like to ept such a fate, and she would never allow her life to have such a stain. She ... Had just gotten together with Zheng Zeyi. At the thought of this, Qiao SI¡¯s eyes lit up. She remembered that she had sent a message to Zheng Zeyi before she fainted. However, because third brother had acted too quickly, the text message was not sent out. Instead, it was left in the draft box. That was not what Qiao Si was thinking about. Zheng Zeyi had a high IQ and the two of them had already agreed to have dinner at the Royal Restaurant. After not being able to contact him for a long time, he should be able to guess something. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯ll be counting on you this time. I¡¯ll think of a way myself.¡± Joes thought to herself. At the same time, she made up her mind. She had to stall for time! After Yang Yue Yue heard Qiao si SI¡¯s words, the mockery in her eyes intensified,¡±¡±So what? Biao older brother now values you and it is only a temporary love. ...... If you¡¯re dirtied by them, do you think cousin will still be interested in a woman who can be ridden by ten thousand people? What a joke!¡± In Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes, that was the truth. Zheng Zeyi would never fall for such a woman. ¡°You¡¯re quite confident. ¡± Joesughed but did not retort. There was no point in angering Yang Yue Yue now. What he needed to do now was to stall for time. Just as she was about to speak again, the second brother, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Miss yang, we can¡¯t continue like this.¡± Hearing this, Yang Yue Yue also reacted. After saying so much, it turned out that it was just a trick to dy time. ¡°Then I¡¯ll cut to the chase. Jossi, don¡¯t think about escaping. You ... Won¡¯t be able to escape. I¡¯ll leave the three of you to you.¡± Yang Yue Yue nonchntly looked at Qiao si, who was lying on the bed limply and could barely move. Then, without any hesitation, he sat on the sofa and prepared to watch the tragedy. Leave? She wasn¡¯t going to leave. How could she miss out on such a good show? she wanted to watch as Joes fell into the dust. The situation had changed in an instant. Joes¡¯s expression turned ugly as she squinted her eyes. ¡°These three men are indeed sh * t-stirrers!¡± If it wasn¡¯t for the second brother suddenly speaking up, she could at least buy some time. A little bit of time was a life-saving time for them now! Unfortunately, the three of them were here for the money, so they would not let her go. Second brother sized up Joes with a perverted gaze and could not help but suck in a mouthful of saliva. He praised,¡±¡±It¡¯s indeed a top-grade item. Boss, you go first. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The boss also gave a wretched smile. The scar on his face looked extremely frightening at this moment. Looking at the few of them getting closer and closer, Joes took a deep breath and wanted to raise her hand to resist. However, the effects of the knockout powder were still in her body. Her body was soft and she could not exert any strength at all. Was he really going to die Here this time? Joes moved her fingers and bit her lip. She had used so much force that she almost bled. No... She would not fall in this ce. Boss was getting closer and closer. She could even feel the disgusting heat from him. His restless handnded on Joes ¡®shoulder. At that moment, she really wanted to kick this man out. However, he was powerless. ¡°If you stop now, I can double or triple the money Yang Yue Yue gave you.¡± Joes forced herself to calm down and repeated what she had said without any mistakes. Hearing this, the boss paused for a moment, thenughed sarcastically.¡±¡±I don¡¯t believe you. If I let you go, what if you turn around and call the guards? A woman like you is very scheming. Why don¡¯t you trust miss yang and get a sum of money from her?¡± Yang Yue Yue nodded her head in satisfaction, and the curve of her lips rose even more. Everything that was happening now was being recorded by cameras, and it was not being broadcasted. So even if boss said something that couldn¡¯t be broadcasted, it didn¡¯t matter. The boss did not listen to Joes¡¯s words. Hisrge hand pressed down on her shoulder, and the fire in his eyes did not diminish at all. Just as he was about to take another step forward, an unforeseen event suddenly urred. ¡°Bang!¡± In an instant, the door of the room was kicked open, and a big hole was even made. Immediately after that, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It didn¡¯t seem to be a person. In an instant, the entire room was surrounded by armed bodyguards. They were so fast that no one could react. Everyone in the room was stunned. They did not expect this to happen, including joesse. She was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, not only did she feel tears welling up in her eyes, but she also looked at the noble man who was walking in front of her. ¡°Zeyi ...¡± This was the first time she had used such a tone to address Zheng Zeyi. In that situation earlier, Joes had almost given up all hope. Luckily, luckily he came. Zheng Zeyi had a clear idea of the situation in the room the moment he entered. He immediately saw the weak and feeble Qiao si who had fallen on the bed. The three of them didn¡¯t know what to do. They didn¡¯t know whether to attack or not. This group of people deserved to die! Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face darkened and a dangerous glint shed in his eyes. He did not hesitate and walked straight in the direction of Qiao si. ¡°Cousin, you, why are you here?¡± Yang Yue Yue was also extremely flustered, and her previous arrogance was no longer there. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to suddenly appear. The sense of danger in her heart was telling her that she was really done for this time! Yang Yue Yue stood up and blocked Zheng Zeyi¡¯s path. In the next second, an angry voice was heard.¡±¡±Get lost!¡± Yang Yue Yue was so frightened that she did not dare to move. Her heart was beating like thunder as she watched Zheng ze walk to Qiao si si. He even took off his suit jacket and put it on Joes. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s movements were gentle. Seeing that Jossi had no strength at all, his heart ached for her. He carried her up like a princess. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ming,¡±he said gently. ¡°Yes.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s nose felt a little sour, and the suit she was wearing had Zheng Zeyi¡¯s scent, a faint minty scent. She buried her head in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arms and really leaned on him. Her depression just now was swept away. Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Slept for an entire day

With him around, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of. Joesse thought to herself as she leaned into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s embrace, and a sweet smile finally appeared on her face. The bodyguards had surrounded the entire room, leaving only a path for Zheng ze and his group to walk through. As he carried Qiao sisi, he walked forward. The way he spoke to the person in his arms and the way he spoke to Yang Yue Yue werepletely different. There was noparison between the two. In the meantime, Zheng Zeyi passed by the three of them. His gaze fell on the three of them, but only his deep eyes could be seen. The emotions in his eyes were unclear, but the danger that he exuded made the three of them feel it. They instantly had goosebumps. His hair stood on end, and even his fingers were trembling slightly. The three of them felt as if they were being targeted by some prehistoric beast and could die at any moment. Zheng Zeyi looked away after a nce. He did not even bother to waste his breath on these pieces of trash. If they wanted to bully Joes, they would have to pay the same price! ¡°Cousin ... You, listen to my exnation. There¡¯s a reason for this.¡± Yang Yue Yue became even more flustered when she saw Zheng Zeyi hugging joesse. Things seemed to be different from what he had imagined. Everything had been going smoothly from the beginning, but now, someone had appeared out of nowhere. ...... As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and nced at yang Yueyue indifferently. His cold eyes contained a sense of danger. He sneered and his thin lips moved slightly.¡±¡±You¡¯re good. ¡± The three simple words made Yang Yue Yue feel ufortable. Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze and walked towards the door. He instructed the bodyguards around him,¡±¡±Capture these people and send them to the prison.¡± As for the truth, it was all the truth. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s influence was much stronger than Yang Yue Yue had imagined. It did not take much effort to send a few people in. ¡°Yes, President.¡± The bodyguards lowered their heads and responded. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face instantly turned pale, even uglier than before. Even her nails were almost digging into her flesh. Seeing that Zheng Zeyi was about to leave the room, she could not help but say angrily,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, how can such a woman be worthy of you!¡± Just a little more ... Just a little more and he would have been able to destroy Joes. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s palm was bleeding red, and she clenched her teeth so hard that she almost broke them. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi had no intention of paying attention to them. He left the room immediately, leaving only his slender back view behind. The only person he cared about was the person in his arms. This time, Yang Yue Yue waspletely defeated, and even boss, who often mingled in the dark side of city h, was going to be caught and put in prison. Finally, there was one less enemy. Qiao si leaned into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s embrace and heaved a sigh of relief. Her ears were pressed against his chest and she could feel the warmth. His chest was beating steadily. She blinked her eyes and blushed. She looked up and said,¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. Due to the effects of the drug, Joes¡¯s body was still sore and weak, unable to move. Otherwise, she would havee down and walked on her own, which was really embarrassing. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s footsteps were still fast, but he lowered his gaze to hide the darkness in his eyes. ¡°What exactly happened this time? remember to tell me from the beginning to the end. Also ... I¡¯ll be the one to pick you up whenever you go out in the future.¡± Zheng Zeyi said firmly. ¡°You¡¯re here to pick me up?¡± Joes could not help but widen her eyes, her tone filled with doubt and surprise. If Zheng Zeyi came to pick her up, wouldn¡¯t she have to ... The moment she thought of this, the blush on Joes¡¯s face deepened, just like a delicious red apple. A weak voice of resistance sounded.¡±Why don¡¯t we forget it? I can do it myself. I just didn¡¯t notice it this time.¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi frowned and said in a determined tone,¡±¡±No,¡± Seeing how determined he was, joesse felt a little helpless, but she did not continue to persist. After all, the two of them were now considered a couple. It was necessary to be reserved, but there was no need to resist too much. Zheng ze carried Jossi in his arms and left the hotel under the envious gazes of the employees and even some guests. Zheng Zeyi gently carried her to the back seat. As the back seat had more space, it could still amodate one person. It had to be said that his thoughts were much more meticulous than joesse had imagined. ¡°Boom Boom ...¡± After the car started, Zheng Zeyi stepped on the gas and headed toward the blue sky Apartment. As for Yang Yue Yue and their boss, they did not need to worry about them anymore. The group of bodyguards would follow Zheng Zeyi¡¯s orders. When they met again, they would probably be in the prison. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± As they drove, Zheng Zeyi kept looking at Qiao si through the rearview mirror. His eyes were filled with worry. Joesseughed weakly and said with confidence,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a little drug. It won¡¯t do any harm to your body. I¡¯m still able to take it, but I¡¯m just a little sleepy. ¡± After saying that, she yawned, looking extremely tired. Actually, joesse had not had a good rest these few days. Coupled with the effects of the drug, it was normal for her to be tired. Joes recounted how she had been drugged by her boss and the other two after she left star essence design and had been caught in a sack. He didn¡¯t hide anything, including the fact that he had seen Yang Yue Yue on the top floor of the hotel. In any case, Zheng Zeyi had seen in the room just now that his so-called ¡®good cousin¡¯ was actually a woman with a heart as poisonous as a Scorpion. Not only that, but she was also secretly in love with Zheng Zeyi and wanted Qiao sisi to be defiled and despised. Qiao si si believed that she had some understanding of Zheng ze Yi and knew that he would never fall for a woman like Yang Yue Yue. After giving a rough description of what had happened, sleepiness overwhelmed her. Unable to hold on any longer, joesse fell into a deep sleep in the back seat. At this time, they had already arrived at the blue sky Apartment. ¡°Crack.¡± The sound of the car door opening was heard, followed by a pair of strong arms that carried her directly. A slightly distressed gaze fell on her body. Zheng Zeyi did not dy and carried her to the bed upstairs to let her rest. By the time Joes woke up and opened her eyes, it was already the next morning. She had slept for an entire day. Having just woken up, Joes¡¯s eyes were rather dazed, and her groggery feeling was gradually dissipating. ¡°This ce is ...¡± Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Let her suffer a big loss

Patting her head, Joes propped herself up on the bed and scanned the room. What she saw was a bedroom with a simple style. It was simple and Grand, but it was fashionable and high-ss. With just one look, she knew where she was. She was in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bedroom. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Suddenly, a maic voice came from the door, apanied by the aroma of food. This made Joes a little hungry. She had not eaten for an entire day. The door was pushed open, and Zheng Zeyi, who was dressed in casual home clothes, walked in with a te in his hand. It was the source of the fragrance. There were two grilled sausages on the te, as well as prepared toast and Lotus-wrapped eggs. The rich aroma was very tempting. Upon seeing this, Qiao si si could not help but swallow her saliva. Even Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face was temporarily put aside. ¡°Is this for me?¡± She blinked and asked a question that she already knew the answer to. Zheng Zeyi smirked when he heard that. He strode over to the bed and sat beside her. He raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.¡±¡±Who else could it be if not for you? no one else has the right to ask me to prepare breakfast.¡± ...... Jossi was probably the first person to get the high and mighty President Zheng to prepare breakfast. ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± She smiled radiantly and took the te. She then took the fork from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and took a bite of the sausage. As the warm food entered her throat, Joes finally felt alive after starving for an entire day, and her eyes seemed to have regained some life. Not long after, breakfast was finished, leaving only a clean and empty te. Joes was rather satisfied and ced the empty te aside. She recalled what had happened yesterday and asked,¡±¡±Oh right, how are Yang Yue Yue and the rest?¡± ¡°They? He¡¯s in the guard post. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said. At the mention of Yang Yue Yue and the others, his eyes darkened a little. His left hand could not help but clench into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were visible. If he had not discovered this earlier yesterday, Joes would not have to go through all this. When she saw this, Qiao si ced her hand on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s and chuckled.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine. They didn¡¯t manage to do anything. ¡± ¡°Even so, the price that must be paid must not be any less.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s eyes narrowed dangerously. It was like a deep vortex, and only darkness could be seen. Qiao si si was helpless, but she was curious about Yang Yue Yue and the Yang family¡¯s fate, so she asked a few more questions. Zheng Zeyi had said everything that he had not said before. Yesterday, after he had sent Jossi back to blue sky Apartment, he had hired a capable private doctor. After checking, he found that she had only breathed in some ordinary knockout drugs and only needed to sleep for a while. He heaved a sigh of relief. But even so, Zheng Zeyi would not let Yang Yue Yue and her group off. He immediately put them all in prison. Yang Yue Yue was fine, but the boss and the other two men were still carrying the burden of human lives. They could forget about life imprisonment. A life for a life. As for Yang Yue Yue, she already had a criminal record, and now that she had done such a thing, she would definitely go to jail. As for Yang¡¯spany, Zheng ze had already put pressure on them. So what if they were rted? Zheng Zeyi did not care. He only knew that his woman was injured. At this point, joesse felt a little emotional. Indeed, evil people had their retribution. She didn¡¯t have a good impression of these people at all, not to mention that their methods were too harsh. After all, she wasn¡¯t someone who returned good for evil. Yang Yue Yue and the three of them had done this, but she still stupidly asked Zheng ze to go easy on her. That would be a real fool! ¡°Zeyi, I want to go to the guard post to take a look.¡± A momentter, joesse said. It wasn¡¯t that he was being unreasonable, but he wanted to end all the grudges he had with Yang Yue Yue since their university days. It had been going on for too long, and she didn¡¯t want to continue fighting with this woman. ¡°Now? Your body hasn¡¯t recovered yet. ¡± After hearing that, Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows and was rather unhappy. Upon seeing this, joesse quickly stared at him with pitiful eyes.¡±¡±Let me take a look. My body is fine. The knockout powder residue is almost gone, so of course I know my own body. I¡¯lle back immediately after I go to see it!¡± After saying that, Joes raised her hand and made a gesture of assurance. After meeting Yang Yue Yue, she would rest for half a day and head to thepany the next day. That was what joesse was thinking. Zheng Zeyi nced at her indifferently and asked,¡±¡±Must I go?¡± After saying that, Jossi lowered her head in embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s not that I have to go. I just have some things I need to settle. It won¡¯t waste much time. ¡± ¡°If you want to go, then go.¡± What surprised her was that Zheng Zeyi actually agreed to it. However, it didn¡¯t take long before he continued,¡±¡±But I¡¯m going to send you there. After you¡¯re done, you have toe back immediately to rest.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. After that, Zheng Zeyi sent her to city h¡¯s Detention Center. He wanted to follow her in, but Qiao si si asked him to wait outside. Moreover, Yang Yue Yue could not do anything in such a ce, so Zheng Zeyi waited outside. Inside the guardhouse. Joes was wearing a white shirt and Pencil Pants. After she walked in, she was asked by the guard inside,¡±¡±Miss Qiao.¡± Zheng Zeyi had already told her about their arrival. Hearing that, Joes nodded slightly.¡±¡±I¡¯ll have to trouble you, please take me to see Yang Yue Yue. ¡± ¡°Alright, miss Qiao, please follow me.¡± Joes followed behind the guard, making many turns. She could not help but feel a little emotional as she looked at the state of the guard house. A year ago, she had also stayed in this ce for a day. At that time, the rumors and nders on the inte were so overwhelming that if it were not for Joes ¡®strong mental fortitude, an ordinary person would not have been able to withstand it. What a coincidence ... At that time, Yang Yue Yue was also involved, causing her to suffer a big loss. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s eyes darkened, but she did not show it on her face. She followed the guard and entered an interrogation room. Yang Yueyue had already been invited out. The two of them sat face to face, but there was a piece of tempered ss between them. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time,¡± Qiao si si nced at the haggard-looking Yang Yue Yue and spat out a few words before sitting down on the chair. The guards at the side were also observant and retreated. As for the guard next to Yang Yue Yue, he did not leave and kept an eye on her. Zheng Zeyi had also instructed her not to give her any chance to make aeback. Chapter 317

Chapter 317: An apology to old master Zheng

Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard the familiar voice of Qiao si si. She lifted her head immediately. She red at Joes with bloodshot eyes, as though she had not rested for the entire night. ¡°Jossi, you actually dare toe!¡± Yang Yue Yue gritted her teeth as she said this, wishing she could tear Qiao sisi into pieces. Things shouldn¡¯t be like this! She should have been the one to seed! He had sessfully crushed that B * tch, Joes, into the dust. With all the hatred stacked together, Yang Yue Yue seemed to have gone crazy. Upon hearing her words, Joes could not help but sneer and said,¡±¡±Why would I not dare toe? I have a clear conscience, and I didn¡¯t do anything shameful. But you, the famous miss yang, a nobledy, would also do such a disgusting thing!¡± Joesse emphasized thest few words. Even her eyes turned sharp. She despised Yang Yue Yue from the beginning to the end for what she had done. Furthermore, this woman had never done anything good. ¡°Jossi, what do you know! You¡¯re just amoner, you don¡¯t have the right topare yourself to me. So what if your results are good? in the end, you were still pulled down by me. It¡¯s the same for your brokenpany, it¡¯s going to go bankrupt sooner orter!¡± ...... Yang Yue Yue was so angry that her fingers were trembling. How could she still look like a socialite? After hearing this, joesse raised her eyebrows and tapped her fingers on the table. She looked calm andposed. In fact, she was indeed very calm. She hade here to end things with Yang Yue Yue. At this point, the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s methods would not be simple. Yang Yue Yue would have to stay in prison for at least ten years, and it was unknown if she could even survive. After all ... There were people in prison who were more ruthless than her. Joes squinted her eyes slightly and suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her mind. She then slowly said,¡±¡±My family background is ordinary. This is not an excuse for your vicious means. You can see for yourself where you are right now. This is a prison, you¡¯ll have to go to jail. ¡± Joes said these words calmly. Her tone was light, but every word hammered Yang Yue Yue¡¯s heart. She clenched the corner of her prison uniform, and her eyes flickered. After a pause, Joes continued,¡±it¡¯s been a few years. If you want to talk about winning or losing, about circumstances.¡± Then ... You¡¯ve lost. ¡± After saying thest three words slowly, joesse looked at Yang Yue Yue as if she was looking at a stranger. She didn¡¯t need to hate this person anymore. Ten years in prison was enough. Qiao si si pursed her lips and did not look at Yang Yue Yue again. She stood up decisively and prepared to leave the interrogation room. Seeing this, Yang Yue Yue, who was slightly stunned, also came back to her senses. She stood up excitedly and pped the ss with both hands, making a loud ¡°Bang Bang¡± sound. ¡°Jossi, stop right there and let me out! Let me out! I can promise not to do these things anymore, I want to leave this damn ce!¡± Before Yang Yue Yue could finish her sentence, she was restrained by the guard beside her and pressed back into her chair. In the end, she could only watch the figure disappear in front of her eyes, and her heart could not help but be filled with regret. But now that things hade to this, no matter how much regret or resentment he felt, there was nothing he could do to change the situation. Even the Yang family, which had always been protecting Yang Yue Yue, could not even protect themselves now. Whether they could even protect the family business was another matter altogether. ¡­¡­¡­ Joes followed the path she hade in from and left the guardhouse. At the door, she saw the slender figure. When he saw her, Zheng Zeyi, who was leaning on the railing, walked over.¡±¡±You¡¯ve settled it?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Joes nodded slightly.¡±It¡¯s all been settled.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go home.¡± Zheng Zeyi said without any hesitation. He held joesse¡¯s hand and brought her back to the car. ¡®Go home ... These two words, which were filled with many meanings, made Joes¡¯s face turn red, and her heart felt warm. The heater was still on in the car. Although the weather was getting warmer these days, it would get colder when it rained asionally. That was how it was today. It had already begun to drizzle. The water droplets rolled down the car window, leaving a mark, and then immediately disappeared. Worried that Qiao sisi¡¯s body was still weak, Zheng Zeyi quietly turned on the heater but did not say a word. Joes was no fool. After feeling the warm air, the corners of her lips curled up a little as she looked at the rain outside the window. Zheng Zeyi did not ask her about her conversation with Yang Yue Yue. Leaning against her seat, Joes closed her eyes infort. Suddenly, she recalled something and said,¡±¡±Oh, right. How about we head over to Grandpa Zheng¡¯s side first?¡± Old master Zheng had already been discharged from the hospital. They had originally nned to visit him today. However, what happened yesterday was something that Joes did not expect, and it ended up like this. Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t turn around. He turned the steering wheel and said calmly,¡±¡±No, go home and have a good rest.¡± ¡°But ...¡± ¡°No buts!¡± Zheng Zeyi seemed to have guessed what she was going to say. He furrowed his brows and said firmly,¡±¡±You can go back and rest. Don¡¯t worry about my grandfather. I¡¯ve already told him that something cropped up today and he can¡¯t go. It¡¯s fine if he goes tomorrow or a few dayster. ¡± Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t tell old master Zheng the truth, in case he got worried. He only used it as an excuse. Although old master Zheng wanted to see his granddaughter-inw, he didn¡¯t say anything. Since Zheng Zeyi had already said so, Qiao sisi felt rather helpless and could only nod.¡±Alright, I guess that¡¯s the only way.¡± At most, he would apologize to old master Zheng when he returned. Not long after, the car stopped in front of the blue sky Apartment. After the two of them went upstairs, joesse wanted to go straight to her apartment, but Zheng ze refused to leave. Under the pretext of taking care of her, he entered her apartment with a pile of documents. It was undeniable that Zheng Zeyi had helped Qiao sisi a lot this time. Moreover, they were already a couple, so she did not reject him. After returning to the apartment, joesse changed her clothes andid on the bed to rest. Meanwhile, Zheng Zeyi was sitting in the living room and handling some documents. From time to time, he would peek through the gap of the door to see what was going on inside. For some reason, Jossi slept very soundly. It had been a long time since she had such a good night¡¯s sleep. It seemed like ... It was because of someone¡¯s existence. Joes, who was already sound asleep, did not notice it. Instead, she revealed a sweet smile, as if she was having a beautiful dream. The two of them were separated by a half-closed door, but there was a sense of peace and quiet. Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 318-the affairs of the world are really unpredictable

On the second day. The sun had just risen, and its light fell on the earth. At this time, the sounds of breakfast stalls by the roadside could be heard. Joes had also fully recovered and was full of life again. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the empty living room. She knew that Zheng Zeyi had already left. ¡°I don¡¯t know when he left ...¡± Joes patted her head and pondered for a while, but she could not think of an answer. She picked up the phone beside her and found the answer. ¡°There¡¯s a meeting at thepany. Take good care of yourself and wait for me toe back.¡± Zheng Zeyi. ¡± Looking at this, Jossi more or less understood. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Not bad, you even know to leave a message.¡± After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Joes had a simple breakfast and nned out her schedule for the day. He worked in thepany in the morning and contacted Zheng Zeyi in the afternoon to visit old master Zheng who had been discharged. Even though Zheng ze said that he was fine, joesse still felt a little embarrassed. Old master Zheng had been discharged from the hospital for so many days, but she had yet to visit him. Now that his body had recovered, he naturally had to go and take a look. After settling everything, Joes had just finished her breakfast and was about to head out when she received a call. ...... ¡°Hello?¡± Joes picked up the phone as she walked out of the door. The screen disyed Anna Chen¡¯s name. After picking it up, Chen Anna said in a worried tone,¡±¡±Sisi, are you alright? Are you feeling better?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes was slightly taken aback and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m much better now. By the way, Anna, how did you know something happened to me?¡± She was rather puzzled about this. Logically speaking, it should be impossible. She had not seen any news simr to kidnapping on the inte. Otherwise, it would have made the headlines. The only thing that joesse had overlooked was a topic that was not very popr. Chen Anna heaved a sigh of relief and exined,¡±¡±I saw on the inte that something happened to the Yang family. I heard that there was a problem with thepany¡¯s products. In short, there wereints, and the stock market plummeted. It¡¯s on the verge of bankruptcy. ¡± Closing down? Joesse narrowed her eyes and was even more certain that Zheng Zeyi was behind this. Otherwise, how could a goodpany be on the verge of bankruptcy? With a guess in her heart, joesse felt a warmth in her heart. The feeling of being protected was better than she had imagined. ¡°After I saw the news, I wanted to tell you the good news, but your phone was turned off, so I could only call Miley. She told me that you didn¡¯t go to the office yesterday. I asked Zheng Zeyi and found out that something happened to you. ¡± Chen Anna said these words like a machine gun, without even a trace of breathing. Jossi nodded in understanding.¡±I understand. Actually, I¡¯m fine. I was just too careless.¡± She described what happened the day before to Chen Anna from beginning to end. In short, she almost got into danger. If Zheng Zeyi had not gone to save her, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s goal would have been achieved. Even now, Jossi still felt a lingering fear when she recalled that scene. Chen Anna was furious,¡±this Yang Yue Yue is too much! She¡¯s not a good person!¡± She said angrily. It¡¯s only right for her Yang family to go bankrupt. To have such a child, her family probably isn¡¯t any good either. She deserves it!¡± Chen Anna¡¯s heart ached and she was angry at what happened to Qiao sisi, so she gave Yang Yue Yue a good scolding. However, she was still not satisfied. After a moment of silence, she asked,¡±¡±Sisi, it¡¯s fine now. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not such a fragile person. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine. As for you, how are you doing in thepany after the fashion show?¡± Joes said with a smile. He couldn¡¯t tell that he had experienced that kind of thing before. When thepany¡¯s matters were brought up, Chen Anna got angry and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t mention it. Thepany has been in a mess recently. They wanted to appoint me as thepany¡¯s chief fashion designer, but something went wrong and the designers who fought with me for the position didn¡¯t agree. ¡± She sighed helplessly, obviously very troubled by the bad things that happened during the rise of her career. ¡°They suggested that wepete for the project in the near future. It¡¯s always apetition to see whose design is more eye-catching. Thepany¡¯s boss also has this intention, so it hasn¡¯t been decided for the time being. However ... The sry has increased quite a bit. ¡± When it came to sry, Chen Anna¡¯s tone was a little more excited. Joes understood and encouraged,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, with our Anna¡¯s strength, she can easily win over the chief designer. And now that your sry has increased, you can spendvishly in a short period of time, right?¡± There was a hint of ridicule in his tone. A year ago, she was still living with Chen Anna. At that time, their careers were doing well, but their sries were not high. Other than the necessary living expenses, there was not much left. Now that Anna Chen had gotten a raise in her sry, Joes was truly happy for her. ¡°Sisi, you really know how to talk. Alright, it¡¯s gettingte, I have to go to work. Take care of your health and protect yourself.¡± Chen Anna chuckled. ¡°Alright, you too.¡± After the two of them greeted each other, they hung up the phone. At this time, Joes had already arrived at the blue sky Apartment. Miley was very considerate. She had specially informed the people in the garage to send the car to this address after it was repaired. Hence, the moment Joes alighted, she saw the car parked not far away from the entrance. ¡°The world is really unpredictable. If I didn¡¯t send the car for maintenance the day before yesterday, perhaps this wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡± Joes muttered to herself helplessly. She opened the car door with her keys and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Boom Boom ...¡± The sound of the car starting could be heard, and it didn¡¯t take long for them to arrive at the building designed by Xingyuan. Initially, Joes had wanted to park the car in the underground garage, but when she saw a familiarmercial vehicle not far away, she dismissed the idea. She parked her car in a parking space not far away, opened the door, and got out of the car. Then, she walked toward the multi-purpose vehicle. This car was indeed familiar. Joes squinted her eyes slightly. However, the special quality of the ss made it impossible for her to see the situation inside from the outside. The next moment, the car window was rolled down. Looking in through the car window, she could see a man in a suit sitting in the back seat. Joes was very familiar with him. It was Chen zuolin. ¡°Brother ... Chen, why are you here?¡± Joes was first shocked, then she was ted. However, she didn¡¯t think too much about it. She just felt that as friends, they got along morefortably. Chapter 319

Chapter 319: The hidden intention

The reason why he felt that the business car was familiar was because a year ago, Joes had taken this car to Yunqi. The past came to her mind one after another, which made her feel quite emotional. ¡°I¡¯m here to see you. I heard that something happened to you ... I just received the news. Are you alright?¡± Chen zuolin frowned. His voice was filled with worry and a trace of annoyance. What Joes could not see was that the hands by his side had already clenched into fists, and the veins were clearly visible. When something happened to her, Zheng Zeyi was the first to know about it. He had even concealed the news for a period of time. Zheng Zeyi was only in the mood to deal with yang Corporation and Yang Yue Yue¡¯s matters when Qiao SI¡¯s condition improved. It was also at this time that the Yang corporation¡¯s incident was exposed to the public. Most of the time, Chen zuolin did not have a reason to look for Joes. He had tried to send many messages yesterday, but he had not received any reply. It was precisely because of this that he was very worried, even vexed at his own powerlessness. Something had happened to the person he liked, but Chen zuolin had only received the news after the incident, and Zheng ze had beat him to it. He could only look for Jossi today. In fact, he had been waiting here for a long time, but she had only just arrived. Chen zuolin would not tell joesse about these things. ...... He did not know that Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were already together. Otherwise, he would have felt extremelyplicated. After hearing Chen zuolin¡¯s words, joesse smiled and said,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, I¡¯m fine now. It was just that the situation was a little dangerous.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. ¡± Chen zuolin heaved a sigh of relief, and his tightly clenched fists rxed. At this moment, joesse asked curiously,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, is this the reason you came to find me today?¡± This ... Chen zuolin lowered his eyes and concealed hisplicated emotions.¡±First, it¡¯s because of this matter. Second, I have something important to tell you.¡± ¡°Serious business?¡± Chen zuolin nodded. He had also found this reason toe to Xingyuan design to find her without hesitation. Jossi came to a sudden realization. She did not know that Chen zuolin had so many thoughts in his mind. ¡°Then, big brother Chen,e with me. We haven¡¯t seen each other in a long time. I have to treat you well.¡± Joes said jokingly. ¡°Of course you can.¡± Hearing this, Chen zuolin finally revealed a smile. He had been waiting for these words. Without wasting any time, he immediately opened the car door and got out, standing beside Joes. The two of them could be considered a perfect match, and the passers-by all cast envious gazes at them, whispering constantly. ¡°Oh my God, this couple is so good-looking!¡± ¡°I think so too, especially her boyfriend. He¡¯s so tall and handsome! This girl must be very happy. ¡± ¡°Handsome and rich. Why can¡¯t I meet a man like him? I¡¯m really envious.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Such soft mumblings could be heard without end. Joes did not pay attention to what the passersby were saying, but Chen zuolin did, and his smile deepened. ¡°Let¡¯s go, big brother Chen. ¡± Seeing Chen zuolin get out of the car, joesse raised her eyebrows at him and led the way into Xing Yuan design. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Chen zuolin also followed with his long legs. Because of the kidnapping incident, Qiao sisi did note to thepany the entire day yesterday. Zheng Zeyi only informed Miley about it at noon. Zheng Zeyi did not mention anything about the kidnapping. He simply told Miley that she had something to do and could not go to thepany today. Otherwise, everyone in thepany would be in a state of panic. It was not a good thing for their CEO to suddenly disappear. When thepany¡¯s employees saw Jossi and Chen zuolin, they greeted them one after another,¡±¡±Good Morning, President. Good Morning, President Chen.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s status in thispany was also well known to the employees. After all, he was thepany¡¯s biggest investor. Without him, there probably wouldn¡¯t be a Xing Yuan design. Qiao si si had mentioned this a long time ago. As for Zheng ze¡¯s investment in Xing Yuan, she had also mentioned it. Two major shareholders, two reputablerge corporations in city H. At that time, many employees were extremely shocked, not knowing what kind ofpany they had joined. The Zheng¡¯s Financial Group and Hengyuan investmentpany were ces that all the talented people wanted to enter. As a result, the Presidents of these two majorpanies both became investors of Xing Yuan design, which showed their potential. Because of this incident, many of thepany¡¯s employees were discussing whether joesse was in a rtionship with Chen zuolin or Zheng Zeyi. If Jossi were to hear this, the oue would not be as simple as it seemed. ¡°Good morning to you too.¡± Joes smiled and greeted the employees in thepany. Chen zuolin nodded slightly in response. The two of them entered the president¡¯s private elevator together. The elevator door slowly closed, but this scene aroused the woman¡¯s gossiping heart. ¡°I¡¯m not seeing things, right? that should be President Chen. ¡± ¡°President Chen rarelyes to Xing Yuan. It¡¯s my first time seeing him, especially the way he looks at the president. Did you notice?¡± ¡°What you said doesn¡¯t mean anything. Thest time President Zheng came, I felt that the president¡¯s aura was different.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. It won¡¯t be good if the president hears this. ¡± When someone said this, the noise stopped, but it still couldn¡¯t stop the thoughts in everyone¡¯s hearts. Joesse was not clear about what was happening below. She followed Chen zuolin to the third floor. Compared to downstairs, the third floor was much more deserted, except for the president¡¯s office and the meeting room. There were only Miley¡¯s desk and the offices of the Department managers. Chen zuolin followed behind joesse and arrived near the president¡¯s office. Miley happened to be working. When she saw the two of them, she was shocked. She quickly got up and greeted them,¡±¡±Good Morning, President. Good Morning, President Chen.¡± She was shocked because of Chen zuolin. ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised. This is your former boss.¡± Joes smiled. Miley lowered her head in embarrassment and replied,¡±¡±Although that¡¯s true, but ...¡± She did not continue after that. Although Miley used to work at Hengyuan investment, Chen zuolin had always been rtively cold to the outside world, and he always did things swiftly and decisively. She was indeed a little nervous to see him again. Chen zuolin nced at Miley and said,¡±¡±You¡¯ve done well,¡± ¡°President Chen ...¡± Millie couldn¡¯t react for a moment. After a while, she turned around and said excitedly,¡±¡±Thank you, President Chen. It¡¯s also because of President Chen and president¡¯s appreciation!¡± Chapter 320 - I have something to tell you

Chapter 320: I have something to tell you

It had to be said that Millie knew how to conduct herself and had a way with words. This was one of the reasons why Chen zuolin valued her and confirmed that she was on Joes ¡®side. After putting this matter behind her, joesse had Chen zuolin wait in his office while she stayed at Miley¡¯s office for a while. Recalling what had happened yesterday, joesse asked,¡±¡±By the way, I wasn¡¯t in the office yesterday. Did anything happen?¡± Millie shook her head.¡±It¡¯s fine. Thepany is running as usual. I¡¯ve also been keeping an eye on some things for the president. There are no mistakes.¡± ¡°Well done.¡± Joes praised. She really did value Miley. Her ability could be said to be the strongest among them, and it was all thanks to Chen zuolin that she was sent here. If not for Millie¡¯s help during this period of time, thepany¡¯s progress would have been much slower if Joes had been the only one carrying the burden of thepany. Miley and the managers of the other departments could not do without their contributions. After going through everything, Joes made a decision and said,¡±¡±Before I left, I contacted the renovationpany. The contract is almost finalized, and it¡¯s basically confirmed that we¡¯ll start work the day after tomorrow. It¡¯s a Friday, so let¡¯s give the employees a holiday. Then, the HR manager will record it as a paid holiday. ¡± Joes had mentioned this matter before, but she had only contacted the renovationpany a few days ago. That was why Joes had specifically mentioned it to Millie, so that she could inform thepany¡¯s employees about itter. ...... Everyone was on vacation at the same time. ¡°Yes, President,¡± Miley said happily.¡±I¡¯ll inform them in a moment.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Joes ¡®lips curled into a smile and she nodded. Then, she suddenly recalled something and her expression froze for a moment. What did Zheng Zeyi tell Mi Li when she was unconscious? Joes did not ask further about this matter. Seeing that Millie was right in front of her, she asked indirectly,¡±¡±President Zheng, you didn¡¯t say anything weird yesterday, did you?¡± ¡°Strange things?¡± Millie asked in confusion. She thought for a moment, shook her head, and said,¡±¡±President Zheng didn¡¯t tell me anything. He just said that the president had something to do yesterday. He can¡¯te to thepany for the time being, so he asked me to inform the managers in case they¡¯re anxious because they can¡¯t contact him. ¡± Upon hearing that, joesse knew what was going on and felt slightly more at ease. ¡°Alright, you can continue with your work then.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After she finished speaking, Joes left the office and walked towards her office. There was always a cup of warm tea in the office, which Joes had specially instructed Millie to prepare. It came in handy now. Pushing the door open, she saw Chen zuolin sitting on the leather sofa, pouring two cups of tea with an expensive teapot. One was for him, while the other was prepared for Jossi. ¡°Thank you, big brother Chen.¡± Joes sat opposite him and took a sip of the warm tea. She closed her eyes infort. Seeing this, Chen zuolin¡¯s heart softened, and even his eyes became gentler. It waspletely different from when he looked at Miley and the others. If Joes were to take a closer look, she would also be able to notice this detail. After taking a sip of tea, joesse asked,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, Hengyuan should be very busy recently, right? You didn¡¯t go to the fashion show either. ¡± With Chen zuolin¡¯s status, President Xu would definitely invite him to a fashion show like that. However, he didn¡¯t appear at the fashion show. It was very likely that he had something to do and couldn¡¯t go. Chen zuolin was stunned for a moment. He felt helpless when he thought of this matter. He had originally wanted to go that day. However, in the end, her mother Qi Yan had to make her stay at home to deal with Bai Lili. ¡°I did have something to do at the time, but it wasn¡¯t about thepany. It was about my family.¡± Chen zuolin said after some consideration. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Joes understood and did not ask further after knowing that it was a family matter. No matter what, this was a private matter, and it would be bad to ask too much. ¡°I¡¯m fine, but what about you? what happened that day?¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°This ...¡± Joesse¡¯s thoughts of covering up the matter briefly disappeared in the end, and she honestly told Chen zuolin everything. When he heard that his boss was going to do something to her, Chen zuolin almost crushed the teacup in his hand! ¡°Hooligan ... Yang Yue Yue ...¡± Chen zuolin clenched the teacup in his hand tightly, and his face instantly darkened. He knew that something had happened, but he didn¡¯t know that it was something that had nearly destroyed Joes! At this time, Chen zuolin, who had found out the truth, hated himself even more for not finding out earlier and not saving him. In the end, it was Zheng Zeyi who went to save Qiao si si. The emotion in Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes was unclear. He slowly let out a sigh and suppressed his thoughts, saying,¡±So that¡¯s why Yang¡¯spany went bankrupt?¡± He thought of the information he knew. Qiao si si nodded her head awkwardly. Zheng Zeyi had only done this to avenge her. However, she didn¡¯t have a good impression of the Yang Corporation. In the business world, there would more or less be some dirt on them. Joes also knew a lot of information and many of Yang¡¯s products were indeed problematic. And it wasn¡¯t a small problem. ¡°I understand,¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s lips curled into a bitter smile. He looked at Joes, who was sitting opposite him, and lowered his gaze.¡±In this matter, I¡¯m indeed not as good as him.¡± The fact that he had not been able to save Joes had be a thorn in Chen zuolin¡¯s heart. At the same time, it was a constant reminder to him. If anything were to happen in the future, he had to be the first to know! Chen zuolin secretly made up his mind. He also decided to send more messages in the future to understand joesse¡¯s current situation. After making up his mind, he raised his eyes slightly and came to the serious matter that he had just mentioned.¡±I actually came here today to tell you something.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Joes asked curiously. As soon as he finished speaking, Chen zuolin took out a gilded invitation from his pocket and ced it on the table in front of him. The ck and gold Invitation letter had a golden frame, and it looked extremely high-ss. Joes¡¯s eyes were also drawn to the invitation letter. She could not help but take a closer look at it, not missing the four big words ¡°charity donation¡±. This is ... A donation? Joesse blinked her eyes and came to a conclusion in her heart. She was just waiting for Chen zuolin to give her the answer. ¡°This is a charity fund-raising event organized by Hengyuan. It will be held at thergest venue in city H. The Zheng¡¯s Financial Group will also be participating in the event.¡± Chen zuolin didn¡¯t hide anything and revealed everything. Surprisingly, the charity fund-raising this time was actually jointly organized by the Zheng¡¯s group and Heng Yun investment. Even joesse was surprised. Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Do you have an idea?

So this was the coboration project between the Zheng Corporation and Hengyuan ... However, she quickly came back to her senses and wasn¡¯t too surprised. ¡°The time for the donation has been set. One weekter, I¡¯ll send a car to pick you up.¡± Chen zuolin said. He didn¡¯t mention much about the cooperation between the two majorpanies. It was just a cooperation for charity. In other events, the rtionship between the two was not so bnced. After hearing that, joesse thought for a moment and said,¡±¡±Since brother Chen has given me an invitation, I will definitely go to the charity. Star dors have to make contributions to the poor mountainous areas, but ...¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes revealed a smile and changed the topic,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to pick me up. It¡¯s too much trouble, brother Chen. I¡¯ve learned my lesson after this incident. I¡¯m sure nothing like that happened. Don¡¯t worry, brother Chen. I know you¡¯re worried about me. ¡± After Joes finished speaking, she looked at Chen zuolin seriously. There was a reason for this. Zheng Zeyi had already said that he would pick her up himself except when he was busy. If he found out, things would not be so easy to solve. At the thought of this, Qiao sisi could not help but feel fortunate that Zheng Zeyi had apany meeting to attend today. These two meetings felt like they were at odds with each other. ...... Since she had said so, Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t continue to insist, so he could only nod helplessly. ¡°Alright, you have to be careful on the road.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, big brother Chen. ¡± Joes vowed. The two of them sat in the office and chatted for a while. The sun outside shone in through the ss window. It hit the two of them in a harmonious manner. ¡­¡­¡­ An hourter. Chen zuolin nced at his Rolex watch. It was almost noon. He couldn¡¯t stay in Xing Yuan all the time, so he got up and said goodbye,¡±¡±Alright, I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. I¡¯ll go back first. If you have time next time, we can have a meal together. ¡± Chen zuolin had changed his silent habit and spoke so much for the first time in his life, all for the sake of having a chance to have a meal with Jossi. Joes did not think too much about it and smiled as she nodded.¡±¡±Of course. Let¡¯s have a meal together if you have time.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Although Chen zuolin only said one word, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but rise. Even his mood became a little better. After they greeted each other, he left the office with Joes¡¯s escort and walked towards the main door of Xing Yuan¡¯s designpany. After he left, jorsi started to get busy with her own matters, including investigating the news of the charity fund-raising. ¡°Poor mountain area ... Construction school ...¡± Joes moved the mouse and looked at the title on the web page, muttering softly. After reading it, she chuckled. It seemed that she did know these two people well. The charity donations organized by these two major enterprises could be said to be the most valuable and most credible in the entire business world. As for the other so-called donations, underyers of exploitation, not much could really reach the hands of those poor people. As long as it was a donation from a bigpany¡¯s CEO or a rich family, the money would be used for practical purposes. Fortunately, it was organized by the tworgestpanies, otherwise, it would have been pulled down a long time ago. Joes was in an extremely good mood. She hummed a little tune as she closed the web page and started to work on the remaining documents from yesterday. In the meantime, she also received a message from Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Don¡¯t forget to rest when you¡¯re not working. ¡± This devilish President Zheng seemed to have turned into a soft person, and even Qiao Si was not used to it. However, when she saw this message, she could not help but smile sweetly. She also replied to catch Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attention. The sour smell of love gradually spread. ¡­¡­¡­ In the afternoon, Joes took a look at the time and left thepany on time. During this period, he also greeted Miley and asked her to handle thepany¡¯s Affairs well. She first sent a text message to Zheng Zeyi to inform him before heading to some shops to buy gifts. Considering old master Zheng¡¯s health, joesse mostly bought health care products that were good for the elderly. Moreover, they were all regr shops, so there wouldn¡¯t be any mistakes. Just as Qiao sisi was done picking out her things, her phone buzzed. It was Zheng Zeyi. She picked it up, but before she could speak, she heard Zheng Zeyi say,¡±¡±Where are you?¡± Joes was slightly taken aback and replied,¡±¡±It¡¯s at thergest hundred Star Mall in the city center of h city.¡± ¡°Alright, wait for me.¡± ¡°Wait ... You¡¯reing to pick me up?¡± Just as Joes finished speaking, a toot sound came from the phone. It was obvious that Zheng Zeyi had hung up on her and was rushing towards her. After all, he had said that he would be responsible for picking her up as long as she had the time. She didn¡¯t expect him to fulfill his promise so quickly. Looking at the screen that showed that the call had been hung up, Joes felt helpless. However, she had no choice but to put her phone away. She packed the health care products into a beautiful gift bag, paid for it, and walked towards the door. Hundred Star Mall was thergest mall in city H. It contained many things, including clothing, food, and so on. The venue was quite high-end, and the consumption standard was also slightly higher than usual. However, it was nothing to the current Jossi. In the past, she would have to think twice before buying such expensive items. ¡°Two cups of mo tie to go, thank you.¡± In the cafe, Joes packed two cups of warm coffee and left with the bag. What she didn¡¯t notice was that there were two familiar people sitting at a table where she passed by. However, due to theck of light and the corner of the room, Joes did not see it. Not only that, but the two people did not see him either. It was a man and a woman, both of whom had extraordinary looks and were dressed in unusual clothes. One of them was Lin Xiu ¡®er, who had left for a long time. The other one ... Was Zheng lihan¡¯s other son, Zheng Zeyu. There was an exquisite dessert and coffee in front of them, but neither of them took a sip. After a while, Lin Xiu ¡®er picked up the coffee cup. Her red lips stopped at the edge of the coffee cup for a moment, and she revealed a smile. ¡°President Zheng, I wonder if you have any thoughts about what I told youst time?¡± She slowly put down her coffee cup. Compared to a year ago, she had changed a lot. Lin Xiu ¡®er learned how to hide her emotions and also learned how to use the most effective method to beat people into the dust. Chapter 322

Chapter 322: She can see more

The events from a year ago were still vivid in her mind. It was impossible for Lin Xiu ¡®er to forget. Those fans who had once imed to like her instantly became anti-fans after the scandal was exposed. That period of time was also the most difficult time for Lin Xiu ¡®er. She didn¡¯t even dare to go out every day. Some people would squat at the door and throw eggs or rotten vegetables at her, making her look like a mess. It had been a year since then. There wasn¡¯t much news about Lin Xiu ¡®er on the inte, but it was already impossible for her to be a celebrity again. Nopany was willing to ept her, and no one would ask her to film. One of them ... Was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s doing. It was precisely because of this that Lin Xiu ¡®er had appeared there and talked about the deal with Zheng Zeyu. Since Zheng Zeyi looked down on her, she would find someone to coborate with and take over the Zheng¡¯s group. A strange glint shed in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes, but she concealed it very well, and no one discovered it. ¡°Miss Lin, of course, I fully agree with the cooperation you¡¯re talking about. However, we still need to think about this matter at length.¡± Zheng Zeyu took a sip of his coffee. Hearing these words, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s hand also paused slightly.¡±¡±What are you trying to say ... What do you mean?¡± ...... ¡°Ha ...¡± Zheng Zeyuughed and broke out in a sweat. He held the teacup in his hand and looked like he was in control of the situation. ¡°We¡¯recking a bit of information and a bit of opportunity. When the time is right, I¡¯ll definitely inform miss Lin. Miss Lin¡¯s contribution will also be significant when we take over the Zheng¡¯s group. ording to our agreement, I¡¯ll give you 5% of the shares, so you won¡¯t have to worry about your future. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lin Xiu ¡®er nodded her head without any hesitation and also began to get excited. If the Zheng Corporation ended up in Zheng Zeyu¡¯s hands, what would happen to Zheng Zeyu in the future? Lin Xiu ¡®er, whose heart was filled with hatred, couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smile. She began to look forward to that scene happening. The high and mighty Zheng Zeyi had fallen from the altar! Lin Xiu ¡®er was close to going crazy now. Because of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions, her love turned into hatred and shepletely gave up on fighting for him again. She even wanted to drag him down to hell and make Zheng Zeyu the CEO of the Zheng¡¯s group. If Jossi were to hear these words, she would probably think that Lin Xiu ¡®er was really indulging in wild fantasies. Pull Zheng ze down? He was thinking too much! Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t know about this, nor did she know that she was only a few steps away from seeing through a conspiracy. Sometimes, the truth and the truth justcked a little bit of fate. ¡­¡­¡­ Outside the hundred Star Mall. Standing by the busy road, joesse found a seat and waited for a while before she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car. She waved her hand, and the car slowly drove over. Then, the car window slowly rolled down, allowing Qiao si to clearly see Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome and perfect side profile. ¡°Get in the car. I¡¯ll take you to the Zheng family vi.¡± A maic voice rang out. When Qiao si caught a glimpse of Zheng ze¡¯s alluring smile, she could not help but smile as well and got into the front passenger seat. After she got into the car, Zheng Zeyi drove towards the Zheng family¡¯s Vi. It wasn¡¯t too far away, only a ten-minute drive. When he bought it, he had chosen a rtively quiet ce. ¡°What did you buy from the mall?¡± As Zheng Zeyi drove, he even had the time to nce at the gift bag beside joesse. Jossi exined.¡±I¡¯ve checked the health care products for Grandpa Zheng. They¡¯re not bad for the body. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried about that ...¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled helplessly. Actually, old master Zheng¡¯s body was very strong now. These health products were better than nothing. However, he would not let Joes know about this, or else it would cause another series of bloodshed. About fifteen minutester, the car stopped in a luxurious vi area. The moment joesse got out of the car, she could not help but set her eyes on the luxurious vi. Be it the decorations or the colors, they were all extremely eye-catching. This was the first time she hade to the Zheng family, but she had a good impression of this ce. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you in. ¡± ¡°Ah? Okay ... What are you doing?¡± After Zheng ze closed the car door, he took the gift bag from her without a care for her voice. With his other hand, he held Jossi¡¯s hand and brought her into the vi. After Joes came to her senses, she could not help but feel a sense of warmth in her heart. These details always made one feel exceptionally warm. This vi area, which stretched as far as the eye could see, was almost entirely the Zheng family¡¯s territory. It could be seen how huge the Zheng family¡¯s financial resources were. When they passed by the gate, a security guard in a ck police uniform greeted them respectfully,¡±¡±Young master Zheng, you¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Joes asked, puzzled. Zheng Zeyi gave her a reassuring look, then turned to the security guard and said seriously,¡±¡±In the future ... Call her Mrs. Zheng.¡± Mrs. Zheng? The short and concise three people immediately stunned Joes on the spot, and she could not react for a long time. The security guard¡¯s reaction was even more exaggerated. He couldn¡¯t help but look at her with wide eyes. What, what was going on? The security guard waspletely dumbfounded. As Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression grew colder and colder, he quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±I understand, young master Zheng, Mrs. Zheng!¡± He looked like a Lackey. Upon seeing this, Zheng Zeyi finally nodded in satisfaction. He patted the head of the dumbfounded Qiao si and continued to lead her in. The security guard watched the two of them leave, his surprise still notpletely gone. If everything went as nned, the news would spread throughout the entire Zheng family¡¯s Vi in one afternoon. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you ... Why did you ask the security guard to call me Mrs. Zheng? We¡¯re just a couple now. However, I didn¡¯t mean it that way. It¡¯s just that this development is a bit too fast. ¡± After saying that, Joes bit her lip, feeling that there was something wrong with what she said. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi turned around and nced at her. His deep eyes were filled with deep affection that was difficult to see. He clenched his soft little hand and said teasingly,¡±¡±It¡¯s going to happen sooner orter anyway, so it¡¯s fine to take advantage of it. ¡± Joesse was speechless. Sure, the president of the Zheng¡¯s group was getting more and more shameless! She felt that Zheng Zeyi had be more and more shameless after they got together, and his personality seemed to be different from before. It was not an illusion, but she could see more now. Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Chapter 324-don¡¯t let your own fertile water flow into others ¡°fields

The documents ... Zheng Zeyi leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes. His eyes were gleaming with a dangerous light. The study was an important ce in the Zheng family. It was also the ce where he handled his Affairs. Usually, no one would enter, and no one was allowed to enter. Everyone in the Zheng family was well aware of this. So, who hade in and stolen that seemingly important document? Zheng Zeyi seemed to have an answer in his heart. His nonchnt gaze fell on the door handle, and the next moment, someone pushed the door open and entered. The person was dressed in a suit and had a pair of refined sses, but he looked simr to Zheng Zeyi. It was his father, Zheng lihan. Their facial features were somewhat simr, but one of them was angr, with a sharp temperament and a handsome face. The other one was older, with more wrinkles on his face, and seemed more refined. Zheng lihan only loved art. Although he was notpletely clueless about business, he only had a smattering of knowledge. There was a clear difference between the two of them in terms of appearance. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s long fingers twirled the pen in his hand as he asked in a rxed manner,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± ...... He didn¡¯t mention the document. Zheng lihan frowned in dissatisfaction.¡±¡±Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your father?¡± ¡°Father?¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. His maicughter echoed in the study room and disappeared after a while. He put down the pen in his hand and asked in confusion,¡±¡±It seems like you haven¡¯t learned your lesson fromst time?¡± Zheng ze was referring to the incident where Zheng lihan had been humiliated at the Zheng Corporation. At the mention of this, Zheng lihan¡¯s expression turned ugly instantly. It alternated between green and white. He red at Zheng Zeyi and cleared his throat. He concealed the awkwardness in his heart and said,¡±¡±Show me some respect. Also, I¡¯m not here to quarrel with you today. There¡¯s something I need to tell you. It¡¯s about the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. Please give up your position as the Vice President. ¡± Vice President? Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand, which was holding a pen, paused. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he pretended not to know.¡±Why did you give up the position of Vice President?¡± After asking, his smile turned cold.¡±Boss Ma has been working hard in thepany for many years. If he is removed from his position, thepany will be in turmoil.¡± During this time, Zheng Zeyi did not look at Zheng lihan at all. Instead, he looked at the back garden through the ss window. From here, he could clearly see the two figures in the garden. Seeing that old master Zheng and Joes were chatting happily, his mood became slightly better. Even the unhappiness from being disturbed by Zheng lihan had dissipated a lot. Hearing his words, Zheng lihan furrowed his brows and said unhappily,¡±As the president, you should be the one to handle this matter and not tell me, a shareholder. Zeyu had just returned from overseas and needed to go to thepany to gain some experience. The position of Vice President was just right for him. You¡¯re Blood Brothers, so you should support each other. Don¡¯t turn against each other. One more brother is one more help. ¡± In the end, Zheng lihan even began to persuade Zheng Zeyi with all his heart for the position of Vice President. It was all so that Zheng Zeyu could take the opportunity to enter thepany. This way, there would be more opportunities to find his faults. Then, he would hit her in one shot and pull her down from the position of CEO. The Zheng¡¯s group was a huge enterprise, one of the leading ones in the country. Zheng lihan had seen such a golden egg before, so he was naturally reluctant to give it up. However, he did not have the ability to run the Zheng¡¯s group, so he ced all his hopes on Zheng Zeyu. Zheng Zeyi had already broken up with him, and to him, he was no different from an enemy. The study was silent for a moment, and only the clock on the wall was still ticking. ¡°Crack.¡± There was a slight sound as the fountain pen in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand fell on the desk. He looked up slightly, his gaze deep. Even the old Zheng lihan was a little shocked when he saw this gaze and almost couldn¡¯t help but take a few steps back. However, he suppressed the fear in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and said,¡±¡±Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?¡± ¡°Right, very right.¡± Zheng Zeyi sneered as he leaned back in his chair. His well-defined fingers tapped on the edge of the table lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about the position of Vice President,¡± he said after a while.¡±It¡¯s impossible. As for whether the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group will let him in ...¡± At this point, Zheng ze paused and chuckled.¡±¡±Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± Zheng lihan immediately reacted and said angrily,¡±¡±Are you ying with me?¡± It turned out that Zheng Zeyi had no intention of letting Zheng Zeyu enter the Zheng¡¯s group from the beginning. A scourge like him did not deserve to stay in thepany. Not only that, if it was not for the fact that he had yet to find a good solution, he would have kicked Zheng lihan out of thepany. But unfortunately ... Zheng lihan still had 10% of the Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s shares, which was a trump card for them. It was also old master Zheng¡¯s fault for trusting Him too much back then. If he had known that things would develop to this point ... He probably wouldn¡¯t give away the shares no matter what. Zheng Zeyi looked at his unfamiliar father coldly. Many memory fragments surged into his mind, but his expression did not change at all. ¡°I¡¯m not that free. Don¡¯t even think about Zheng Zeyu joining thepany.¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi got up and prepared to leave the study. He did not have so much time to waste on insignificant people. However, Zheng lihan quickly stood in front of him. ¡°Don¡¯t leave! Zeyu has to work in the Zheng¡¯s group today!¡± Zheng lihan said fiercely. Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and squinted his eyes slightly. He exuded an extremely dangerous aura from within. It was like a ferocious beast that had been dormant for a long time, making one feel frightened. Zheng lihan was obviously frightened. The expression on his face stiffened for a long time, and even his voice became gentler.¡±You ... Forget it. Even if you¡¯re not the Vice President, it¡¯s fine. Anyway, let Zeyu work in the Zheng¡¯s group. Otherpanies are not good enough for him. We should keep the good stuff in our own hands. You, you can make the arrangements. ¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s attitude softened a little after being looked at by her. He changed his conditions. To be honest, Zheng lihan really did not understand his son. No one could change Zheng ze¡¯s mind once he had decided on something, unless he changed his mind and had a better idea. Moreover, a life was tied to him and Zheng Zeyi. He would never forget what happened to his mother. Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Chapter 325 What the Eyes Don¡¯t See is clean

¡°Any position?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes shed with a smile. ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng lihan saw that he was about to change his mind, so he quickly nodded and agreed.¡±Any position is fine!¡± ¡°In that case ...¡± Zheng Zeyi had a n in his heart, and a glint of interest shed across his Starry Eyes. He smiled and agreed. ¡°Sure, but I¡¯ll arrange the position. Zheng Zeyu ... You¡¯d better hope that he¡¯ll do his best.¡± After saying this, Zheng Zeyi did not say anything more and left the room, leaving only his slender back view. Zheng lihan stayed in the study room for a long time, taking in the documents left on the desk. ¡°Even if Zeyu is only assigned a small position, as long as he can climb up the ranks, it¡¯s not impossible for him toe into contact with thepany¡¯s secrets.¡± He frowned slightly. This was the reason why Zheng lihan had allowed Zheng Zeyu to enter the Zheng¡¯s group. He had wanted to steal the group¡¯s confidential documents. He wanted to use this to bring down Zheng Zeyi, but he did not think about why Zheng Zeyi had suddenly agreed. ¡°No matter what, the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group must not fall into your hands.¡± Zheng lihan said ruthlessly. He nced at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back as he left and closed the door of the study. ...... The reason for the sudden disappearance of the document that Zheng Zeyi was looking for was also rted to him. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, in the back garden of the Zheng family¡¯s Vi. ¡°Sisi, I didn¡¯t expect you to know how to y chess.¡± Old master Zheng said with a smile. In this era, not many people knew how to y chess, and those who could calm down and immerse themselves in the game were even fewer. Joes was one of them, but her skills were not too exquisite. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, you¡¯re ttering me. I only learned a little because I liked to y chess with the old neighbors when I was young.¡± After hearing old man Zheng¡¯s praise, joesse replied very humbly. On the stone table in front of the two of them was a chessboard. On the board, the ck and white pieces formed a confrontation. In the current situation, every step was very important, even rted to winning or losing. Old master Zheng held a ck chess piece between his fingers. After some deliberation, he ced the chess piece on a spot on the board. At the same time, he changed the topic and said,¡±¡±Sisi, why don¡¯t you stay for dinner at the Zheng family?¡± ¡°Dinner?¡± Joes was stunned for a moment before she smacked her head. She had suddenly forgotten about this. It was still eptable for her to visit the Zheng family, but she was a little embarrassed to eat here. He had originally nned to chat with old master Zheng after visiting him and then leave after a while. However, because the two of them were ying chess in the back garden, Joes had forgotten about this matter. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, I won¡¯t disturb you. I can go out and eat by myself.¡± Joes revealed a bright smile. She found a spot and ced her white chess piece down. The next step could be considered the most critical existence. It depended on who had the greater awareness of the overall situation. Hearing that, old master Zheng frowned and objected,¡±¡±There are too many unhealthy things outside. Sisi, since you¡¯re here, let¡¯s eat here. Grandpa also wants to talk to you for a while longer. Our game of chess has not ended yet. ¡± He had even brought up the chess game to discuss the matter. It was clear that he really hoped that Joes would stay and have a meal at the Zheng family. This way, they couldmunicate with each other and perhaps improve the rtionship between the grandfather and grandson. Old master Zheng¡¯s n was very well thought out. Since he had already said so, Joes felt even more embarrassed to reject him. After going through the matter in her heart, she could only agree to it. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Grandpa Zheng. If I have time next time, I¡¯ll personally cook a meal for you too.¡± She said with a smile. Old man Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up and he quickly said,¡±¡±Si si is very thoughtful.¡± At this moment, a ck piece in his handnded in the square of the ¡°Tian¡± character, and a white piece next to the ¡°Jiang¡± character. The winner and loser ... Were also decided at this moment. Joes observed the go board and looked at the distribution of the pieces on it. She then came to a sudden realization. She smiled helplessly and said in admiration,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, you¡¯re really an expert at go. I really didn¡¯t notice this move just now. Just one move is nothing, but when these few moves are linked together, they¡¯ve directly killed off my chess piece. ¡± Joes¡¯s tone was filled with admiration, which made old master Zheng happy. The two of them spent more time together than when old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi were together. Old master Zheng had nothing to say when he was with Zheng ze. Old man Zheng looked at the time and said,¡±¡±Sisi, it¡¯s already time for lunch. Let me take you to dinner.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble Grandpa Zheng then.¡± Joes nodded. ¡°You child, you¡¯re always so polite.¡± Jossi helped old master Zheng to the vi. The Zheng family¡¯s kitchen was on the other side of the living room. If he wanted to go through the back garden, he would have to go around the hall. Before she knew it, joesse had already stayed in the Zheng family for an entire afternoon, longer than she had imagined. However, with old master Zheng around, the afternoon passed by quietly. The Zheng family¡¯s Hall was extremely spacious, and there was a huge mural hanging on the wall in the center. This mural was definitely the work of a great master. Even with just one look, Joes could tell some of the tricks behind it. In addition, vases with precious flowers were ced on both sides. The fragrance assailed the nose, making one feel veryfortable. Joes and old master Zheng had just entered the hall when they saw an uninvited guest in the camp. It was a woman. She had light makeup on, which brought out her figure vividly and thoroughly. Her face looked extremely well-maintained. However, no matter how many skincare products she used, they couldn¡¯t hide the fine lines that appeared at the corners of her eyes. When they saw this person, both Jossi and old master Zheng frowned at the same time. Old master Zheng¡¯s expression turned cold. The person in front of her was Zheng lihan¡¯s second wife. To be more precise, she was the third party who had interfered in someone else¡¯s marriage. Xuanji, Ma Shan. ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s go.¡± Old master Zheng did not like her, so he pretended not to see her and asked Jossi to leave with him. He didn¡¯t even have the intention to stay in the hall for a while longer. It was indeed a disgrace to the family to have a good son like Zheng lihan. However, old master Zheng could not bear to be so ruthless. He could only ignore them and treat them as invisible people. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded and helped old master Zheng to the kitchen. Chapter 325

Chapter 325: It¡¯s this slut

Not only old master Zheng, but even joesse did not like Ma Shan. Firstly, it was because of Zheng Zeyi. Secondly, it was because of the ¡°mother-inw¡± that she had never met before. She was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother, who had passed away many years ago. No matter what, Ma Shan was not a good person. The two of them didn¡¯t want to cause trouble, but a certain someone didn¡¯t want to let them go. Ma Shan was still carrying several shopping bags in her hands. They were all bags from famous brands. It was obvious that she had gone shopping just now. When she saw that Joes and Lin Sanjiu were ignoring her, her expression froze for a moment. She put the bag in her hands aside and walked towards them. ¡°Dad, this is ...¡± Not long after, Ma Shan stood in front of old master Zheng and Joes with a smile on her face. To joesse, that smile even had a hint of sarcasm. Old master Zheng¡¯s brows furrowed even more. He said unhappily,¡±¡±This is my granddaughter-inw.¡± Even though he was unhappy, he would have to reveal Joes¡¯s identity sooner orter, so he did not intend to hide it. She also wanted to let Ma Shan know that the Zheng family would have ady in the future. Even if she married into the Zheng family as she wished, she was not cut out to be the mistress of the house. Old master Zheng would not even bother with her if she did not cause any trouble. ...... But if she caused trouble ... Old master Zheng would not treat her well. Upon hearing this, a scene in Ma Shan¡¯s memory coincided with what she was seeing now. She sized up Joes and recalled old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet a year ago. This was the girl? There was still a smile on Ma Shan¡¯s face, but her eyes were filled with many emotions. She turned her gaze to Jossi and said,¡±¡±So that¡¯s how it is. You¡¯re the fianc¨¦e that Zeyi was talking about a year ago, right? It¡¯s been a year since hest appeared, and I almost forgot about it. ¡± Ma Shan chuckled as he spoke, intentionally or otherwise, pointing to the point of ¡°he hasn¡¯t appeared for a year.¡± Did she think that he was here to cheat her of her money? This thought came to Joes¡¯s mind. Looking at Ma Shan¡¯s expression, this possibility was very high. ¡°Indeed, I haven¡¯t been back for a year. I¡¯ve mentioned it to Grandpa Zheng before. I¡¯ve also been abroad for a year and have only just returned.¡± The two of them were equally matched, and nothing unusual could be seen on their faces, but in reality, the atmosphere was verypetitive. Even though Joes was not as old as Ma Shan, she was not much weaker in terms of aura. ¡°He¡¯s overseas ... I knew it. I¡¯ve asked him a few times, but dad and Zeyi didn¡¯t tell me.¡± The smile on Ma Shan¡¯s face had a hint of mockery. As if she did not see anything, Joes nodded her head slightly but did not say anything. Seeing this, old master Zheng was also quite satisfied. This was the kind of aura and power that the female head of the Zheng family should have. What Ma Shan said was indeed the truth. This year, she had been asking old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi about her fianc¨¦e in a roundabout way. However, the two of them ignored her, so she didn¡¯t get anything. That was why Ma Shan was so shocked when she first saw Joes. She did not even realize that she was her previous fianc¨¦e. ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve ordered something for you when I went out this time.¡± After taking a nce at Jossi, Ma Shan caught her attention and picked up a ck shopping bag on the ground, pretending to show off. There was a sweater in the shopping bag. The quality of the sweater was also high, and it was obvious that it was expensive. Ma Shan was still not satisfied with this. She took a few steps closer and walked in front of old master Zheng to show him the dress. He even inadvertently showed the price tag in front of joesse, and as expected, it was not cheap. Joes raised her eyebrows, not interested in such childish tactics. She hid her smile and stood quietly beside old master Zheng. Ma Shan¡¯s actions ... She really didn¡¯t know what to say. Did she really think that she was the joesse from a year ago? When old master Zheng saw the sweater, he looked away and waved his hand.¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t buy me anything when you go out in the future.¡± The next moment, Ma Shan froze on the spot. Her fingers clenched the corner of her sweater tightly, and she squeezed out a smile with difficulty.¡±¡±Dad, I bought this for you because it¡¯s warm. If you¡¯re not satisfied with it, I can go to the shop and change it. This color may not look good. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of color. ¡± Before Ma Shan could finish her sentence, old master Zheng interrupted her.¡±¡±Can¡¯t you see what kind of weather it is now? it¡¯s getting warmer. Did you buy me this sweater because you want me to die from the heat?¡± At the end of his sentence, old master Zheng¡¯s tone turned cold, and he ignored Ma Shan¡¯s goodwill. ¡°This ...¡± Ma Shan could not force a smile. She felt as if she had been pped in the face. This old man didn¡¯t give him any face at all! She was extremely resentful, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Her eyes shed with hatred. ¡°If dad doesn¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll take it back.¡± Ma Shan didn¡¯t dare to have a direct conflict with old man Zheng. She could only suppress all her hatred and throw the things back into the shopping bag. ¡°Yes.¡± Old master Zheng said one syble indifferently. At this moment, he seemed to have a simr personality to Zheng Zeyi. Joes controlled her urge tough. Old man Zheng had pped Ma Shan in the face. She probably wanted to give her a show of authority and let Joes recognize her position as the female owner. However, he didn¡¯t expect old master Zheng to point out the truth so directly and even say that he didn¡¯t need it. However, Qiao si si also felt that Ma Shan was a little stupid. After getting along with old master Zheng for so many years, didn¡¯t she know what kind of personality he had? He didn¡¯t like her to begin with, so how could he be nice to her? It was just that Ma Shan did not know what Joss was thinking, otherwise, her anger would have been even more intense. ¡°By the way, what¡¯s your name?¡± In order to divert the awkwardness, Ma Shan changed the topic to Jossi. ¡°Auntie, my name is Jossi.¡± Joes said with a smile. Auntie ... When Ma Shan heard these two words, she almost couldn¡¯t control herself and rushed up to p Joes ¡®face. He really didn¡¯t know how to talk, he actually called her so old! Ma Shan¡¯s eyes were gloomy. She lowered her gaze slightly, but she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of old master Zheng. After all, the right to inherit the Zheng¡¯s group was still in old man Zheng¡¯s hands. Although old master Zheng did not say it now, he was probably preparing to announce it at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s engagement banquet. If he did not do something, it would be difficult to change the oue. At the thought of this, Ma Shan nced at Jossi. Engagement party ... If I¡¯m not mistaken, it should be this B * tch, right? Chapter 326

Chapter 326: No one noticed me at all

No, they could not let Zheng Zeyi be the heir of the Zheng¡¯s group. No matter what, they had to try. Ma Shan understood Zheng Zeyi¡¯s character to some extent. They were Swift and decisive and did not show any mercy. If this matter was confirmed, Ma Shan and Zheng lihan might not be able to continue staying in the Zheng family. Ma Shan swallowed his saliva and raised his head again. The anger in his eyes was no longer visible. His expression had changed. ¡°Sisi,¡± she said with a smile.¡±This is the second time we¡¯ve met.¡± As for the first time, it was at old master Zheng¡¯s birthday banquet. Joes raised her brows slightly, not knowing what Ma Shan was up to. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Auntie is right, this is indeed our second time meeting.¡± Hearing the word ¡°Auntie,¡± Ma Shan clenched her fists but did not react as strongly as before. She casually took out another shopping bag. She took out an exquisite gift box from the shopping bag, and in the gift boxy an expensive silk scarf. The scarf was indeed a famous brand. With one look, Qiao si could tell what brand it was and also knew that it was worth more than 20000 Yuan. It had to be said that Ma Shan spent the Zheng family¡¯s money extravagantly. The items she had bought over the years were enough to fill an entire warehouse. It was no wonder that she wanted to stay in the Zheng family so much. Which ordinary family could support her ambition? Ma Shan pointed at the scarf and said with a smile,¡±¡±Thest time we met ... Auntie didn¡¯t have a good chat with you. This time, we have to get along more. ...... How about this? see if you like it. If you don ¡®t, Auntie will pick something else next time. ¡± His generosity made Jossi and old master Zheng a little confused. She did not know the exact reason why Ma Shan gave this scarf to Qiao si, but it was definitely not a good thing. ¡°Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but this is too expensive. I can¡¯t ept it.¡± Joes said in a distant manner. He especially emphasized the word ¡°precious.¡± Ma Shan¡¯s expression was stiff as she struggled to maintain her smile.¡±Sisi, look at what you¡¯re saying. I¡¯m Zeyi¡¯s mother. When you see that your daughter-inw is satisfied, of course you have to give her a gift. Why don¡¯t you let others see it and think that the Zheng family is petty?¡± She covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she had gained power. Their gazes met in the air, and there seemed to be sparks sshing, filled with a tit-for-tat atmosphere. To be honest, they were only maintaining this calm appearance on the surface. If not for the fact that Ma Shan was afraid of old master Zheng, who knew what attitude she would have used to speak to Jossi. She probably didn¡¯t have the intention to give him a scarf. After thinking for a moment, Joes opened her mouth slightly and rejected,¡±¡±Even though Auntie said that, everyone knows that you¡¯re not Zeyi¡¯s biological mother. You don¡¯t have to do these things. Auntie is really kind. I definitely can¡¯t ept these things. ¡± Crack ... Crack ... After Joes finished her sentence, a soft sound entered Ma Shan¡¯s ears. The expression on her face could not hold back. After a long time, she finally suppressed the anger that was surging in her heart. This B * tch! As expected, he wasn¡¯t an easy person to deal with! Ma Shan lowered her head slightly and her eyes were dark. Joes ¡®words had also disrupted many of her ns. Originally, as long as he gave the scarf away, he could use this as an excuse to cause trouble, but he didn¡¯t expect this stupid girl to actually not want it! However, with old master Zheng present, she couldn¡¯t say anything. She could only sigh and say,¡±¡±Sisi, since you¡¯re so determined, I won¡¯t send you off. But you have to know that Auntie wants you two to be well. As for the gift ... You¡¯re the one who didn¡¯t want it. ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Joes nodded her head and said indifferently. Her perfunctory attitude once again made Ma Shan take a deep breath. He wished he could directly scratch her face. The rtionship between the two was irreconcble, and there was no need to. The main reason why Ma Shan and Qiao sisi were on opposing sides was because of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s existence. One wanted to take over the Zheng family and even the Zheng¡¯s group. On the other hand, Qiao si did not think so. Furthermore, Zheng Zeyi was extremely capable and would not allow such a situation to happen. ¡°Alright, Grandpa Zheng, let¡¯s go to the kitchen first.¡± Joes held onto old master Zheng. After she finished speaking, he nodded in agreement. She then let Ma Shan go and continued to walk towards the kitchen. After Marshan came to her senses, she could not care less about the shopping bags on the ground and quickly followed behind the two. ¡°That¡¯s true. It¡¯s indeed time for lunch. ¡± Ma Shan quickly walked to the two of them and gave her a warning look from an angle that old master Zheng couldn¡¯t see. At this moment, her face was extremely ugly, no different from a vicious stepmother, but she had always been this kind of person. Joesse pretended not to see anything and continued to help the old man forward. After a while, they arrived at the kitchen. There was an extremely long square table in the kitchen. The cutlery was already prepared, and the dishes were basically all prepared. The table was already filled with tes, and the rich aroma of food wafted in the air. Looking at the appetizing dishes on the table, joesse felt her appetite being triggered. The nanny stood at the side and lowered her head respectfully.¡±¡±Old master Zheng, dinner is ready.¡± ¡°Alright, help me call ze Yi over.¡± Old master Zheng nodded his head slightly and sat down with the help of joesse. As for Joes, she chose a seat beside him. Seeing this scene, Ma Shan¡¯s eyes twitched. She stomped her feet and could only choose to sit inside. At that moment, Zheng Zeyi and Zheng lihan entered the kitchen one after another. He did not even look at Ma Shan as he walked to Joes and sat down beside her. He asked with concern,¡±¡±Are you hungry?¡± Hearing that, Joes froze for a moment before she reacted. She smiled sweetly and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s alright. ¡± ¡°Eat more,¡± Zheng Zeyi had filled her bowl with food. The food was stacked up like a small mountain, and Qiao si did not know how to start eating. She held her forehead helplessly. This was a little too much. However, Zheng Zeyi did not realize this. He only put down his chopsticks when he was satisfied. Seeing the two of them being so sweet, old master Zheng¡¯s smile had a hint of deep meaning. Very good, this was what he wanted to see. At the door, Zheng lihan had juste in and found that no one in the kitchen was paying attention to him. Even Ma Shan was digging the food in her bowl with hatred. His brows furrowed even more. He nced at Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s actions and finally sat beside Ma Shan. ¡°Dad,¡± he said. Zheng lihan said. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Keep this in mind

Old man Zheng replied calmly and put a piece of eggnt in the middle of the rice. Zheng lihan did not mind his attitude and continued,¡±Dad, I¡¯ve already discussed with Zeyi just now. We¡¯ll let Zeyu join thepany to train as well.¡± Join thepany? As soon as he finished speaking, old master Zheng¡¯s hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled. He didn¡¯t notice it and the eggnt in his chopsticks fell onto the te. ¡°Cough cough ...¡± Old man Zheng cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment and put the eggnt back into his bowl. After doing this, he frowned and asked,¡±¡±You¡¯ve already discussed it?¡± Getting Zheng Zeyu into thepany was no small matter. Even Qiao Si was puzzled. Since Zheng lihan had said it in public, it proved that Zheng Zeyi had indeed agreed. Why did he do that? A suspicious Joss heard Zheng lihan¡¯s words in the next moment. ¡°That¡¯s right. I specifically mentioned this to Zeyi in the study room just now. Zeyu has been studying abroad for so many years, so he¡¯s definitely not bad.¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s smile carried a hint of ttery, and it was directed at old master Zheng. ...... ¡°I see ...¡± Old master Zheng sighed softly. When Ma Shan heard this news, her eyes lit up and she quickly said,¡±¡±It¡¯s still Zeyi who¡¯s reasonable. Zeyu¡¯s ability will definitely not disappoint you. He studied business abroad, and a few foreign bosses even praised him. He¡¯ll definitely be able to manage a bigpany in the future!¡± Ma Shan covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked a little proud. ¡°That¡¯s right, dad. Shanshan is right. We acknowledge Zeyi¡¯s ability, but Zeyu has been studying abroad for so long. He can¡¯t be too bad. ¡± Zheng lihan agreed with Ma Shan¡¯s words and praised Zheng Zeyu to the highest level. If it was someone who did not know, they might really think that Zheng Zeyu was as powerful as they had said. Jossi had seen him in a fashion show before, but he was not as impressive as the couple had made him out to be. He looked like he was just a little smart. He was not on the same level as Zheng Zeyi. Otherwise, he was also of the Zheng family¡¯s blood, and old man Zheng might not have ignored him. It could only be said that it was all his fault. Just as Ma Shan and Zheng lihan were going on and on about how to deal with all the good things about Zheng Zeyu, old master Zheng could not help but get angry. ¡°All of you shut up!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Old man Zheng mmed the chopsticks on the table, making a loud noise. Ma Shan and Zheng lihan immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking. They were also shocked by the sudden situation. Old master Zheng ignored the two of them. Instead, his gaze fell on Zheng Zeyi and he asked,¡±¡±You¡¯ve already agreed?¡± He was talking about letting Zheng Zeyu work in the Zheng¡¯s group. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile and he replied without hesitation,¡±¡±He agreed.¡± This time, old master Zheng waspletely speechless. However, he also had 100% trust in this grandson. ¡°Forget it, forget it. Since you¡¯ve already made your decision, you should know what to do. Let Zeyu enter thepany to train.¡± Old master Zheng waved his hand helplessly and started to take a nonchnt attitude towards this matter. His eldest grandson had his own way of doing things, and there was no need for him to worry about everything. He waspletely different from his weak son. ¡°He ... Really agreed to it.¡± Joes thought to herself. As the conversation entered her ears, she pursed her lips and secretly nced at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side profile. His face was still calm, but his eyes were deep, and no one could tell what emotions were contained in them. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stepmother and younger brother had been coveting the Zheng family¡¯s business. If Zheng Zeyu joined thepany, would the situation ... Worsen? Many questions surfaced in her heart. Under the current circumstances, it was not appropriate for Joes to ask, so she could only swallow them. Anyway, she believed that Zheng Zeyi must have his reasons for doing so. Perhaps he had a better way to deal with their family. On the other hand, Ma Shan and Zheng lihan were very happy. Since old master Zheng had spoken, this matter was finally settled. As long as Zheng Zeyu could enter the Zheng¡¯s group, the rest of the journey would be much easier. At the thought of this, Ma Shan looked at Zheng Zeyi in surprise. She could not understand why he had agreed so suddenly. Logically speaking, she should not have wanted Zheng Zeyu to enter thepany. ¡°Even this little brat can be stupid sometimes. Let Zeyu enter thepany. One day, the Zheng¡¯s group will fall into our hands!¡± Ma Shan¡¯s thoughts were a little wild, and even the smile on his face showed his pride. She secretly nced at Zheng lihan, who was beside her. The two of them looked at each other with the same emotion. Greed and desire. The dinner continued. Old master Zheng looked up at the clock on the wall and asked,¡±¡±Oh right, where¡¯s Zeyu?¡± She had not seen him even after they had finished eating for so long. Old master Zheng didn¡¯t have a good impression of this grandson of his. He allowed him to do whatever he wanted, but he wouldn¡¯t do anything to him as long as he didn¡¯t do anything. After hearing his words, Ma Shan¡¯s eyes flickered and she immediately replied,¡±¡±Zeyu should be out socializing now. He just returned to the country and met a few friends there. They seem to be children from several otherpanies in the industry, so it¡¯s normal for the children to gather for a meal. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she smiled and took a sip of water from the table to moisten her throat. After hearing this, joesse could not help but want to retort. Don¡¯t you know what your son is made of? Even Zheng Zeyi, the president of the Zheng Corporation, was having dinner, but you said that Zheng Zeyu was socializing. He really treated people like fools. Joes furrowed her brows and ignored this extremely jealous woman. She continued to eat her food. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi, who had been watching her, smiled even more. He raised his brows and reached out to touch the top of joesse¡¯s head. It was extremely smooth, just like he had imagined. ¡°You ...¡± Joes was slightly taken aback, but when she felt the gentle caress on her head, she did not refuse and smiled. The interaction between the two fell into old master Zheng¡¯s eyes. He immediately looked away and coughed twice. ¡°Ahem ... You¡¯re right. It¡¯s normal for a child to have a meal with his friends. But since Zeyu is going to work in thepany, tell him to be more careful in the future. His actions to the public also represented thepany¡¯s image. This was something that he had to remember! Also ... Zeyi is the president. Just listen to him and work out in thepany. ¡± Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Zeyu knows his limits

After old master Zheng said this, he was almost done with his meal. He didn¡¯t have any intention of staying any longer. It would have been fine if it was just Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi, but with the addition of these two irksome people, his appetite was a little bad today. Just as old master Zheng was about to stand up, Ma Shan clenched her fists and the smile on her face froze. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s only right for Zeyu to listen to Zeyi, but since he¡¯s the Vice president of thepany, he has to learn to have his own opinions. I can¡¯t let the news spread that I¡¯m a Vice President who doesn¡¯t have my own opinions and is acting like a puppet. It¡¯s not good for the child, right?¡± She looked at old master Zheng, hoping to see the hidden meaning in his face. Unfortunately ... He didn ¡®t. Furthermore, Ma Shan hadpletely misunderstood. Zheng Zeyu did not enter the Zheng Corporation to take up the position of Vice President. Instead, he was going to take up some unimportant positions. If Zheng ze dared to let him join thepany, it meant that he was confident that he would never be able to make aeback. ¡°Vice President?¡± At this moment, a maic chuckle came from the kitchen, and a hint of mockery could be heard. It was Zheng Zeyi, who had a rather evil smile on his face. Then, he nced at Ma Shan and said,¡±¡±I never said that I would let Zheng Zeyu be the Vice president of thepany.¡± ...... Ma Shan waspletely stunned. On the other hand, Zheng lihan turned his head away guiltily. He knew about this matter. He thought that even if he did not be the Vice President, it was enough to enter the Zheng¡¯s group. At the very least, after joining the corporation, he could try out many things that he had always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to. However, Ma Shan did not think so. In her opinion, there was no point in Zheng Zeyu joining the corporation if he was not the Vice President. On the other hand, Qiao sisi was even more certain that Zheng Zeyi had his own ns. After a long time, Ma Shan smiled embarrassedly. She was still a little unwilling. She put down her chopsticks and said,¡±¡±This Zeyi ... I¡¯m not talking about you. In any case, Zeyu is your biological brother, and his ability isn¡¯t that bad. Of course, he has to take on a position that will give him face when he enters thepany. If it wasn¡¯t for the vice president¡¯s words, it wouldn¡¯t be nice to say. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Ma Shan looked at Zheng Zeyi with a hint of hatred hidden in her eyes. Zheng Zeyi remained unconcerned and sneered,¡±¡±I don¡¯t care what the outside world says. During the discussion, I¡¯ve already told him that it¡¯s impossible for him to be the Vice President. As for the position ... It¡¯ll depend on my mood. ¡± He knocked on the table lightly, and the smile on his face deepened. His Starry Eyes were like vortexes. Joes only took one look and she almost fell into them. It took her a while to struggle out. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red. As expected ... A man who abused scum was also very handsome. On the other hand, Ma Shan looked at Zheng lihan in disbelief. ¡°You¡¯ve agreed?¡± Her eyes were filled with hatred, and the sharp nails on her left hand almost dug into her flesh, causing her to feel pain. This good-for-nothing! How could he let Zheng Zeyi choose Zeyu¡¯s position! Zheng lihan avoided her gaze and nodded.¡±¡±That¡¯s right. Shanshan, it¡¯s also an opportunity to enter the Zheng¡¯s group.¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough!¡± Ma Shan did not want to hear Zheng lihan continue. After giving him a re, she turned to Zheng Zeyi.¡±Zeyi, do you think we can discuss this further? Zeyu¡¯s ability is obvious to all, he¡¯ll definitely be able to take on the position of Vice President. What do you think?¡± Ma Shan¡¯s tone was urgent. She stared at Zheng Zeyi, afraid that she would miss any expression on his face. Looking at this scene, Joris frowned. At the next moment, she heard the merciless words of the person beside her. ¡°Impossible.¡± Zheng Zeyi uttered these three words indifferently. It was also at this moment that his phone suddenly vibrated. He nced at the screen and saw that it was assistant li calling, so he picked up the call. As soon as she picked up, she heard assistant Li¡¯s anxious voice on the other end of the phone.¡±¡±President, where are you now? The coboration we talked aboutst time has been agreed to by miles and they¡¯re preparing to continue promoting it overseas. ¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi fell into deep thought. This was one of the more important projects that thepany was currently in charge of. asionally, Zheng Zeyi would personally solve it. Because it involved the Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s status and reputation overseas, the entire group took it very seriously. Otherwise, assistant li would not have called Zheng Zeyi as soon as there was progress. He would not have dared to do so under normal circumstances. ¡°I know.¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes and was ready to take a look at the situation at the so-called maripany. After he hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Jossi¡¯s curious gaze. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while,¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled.¡±There¡¯s something I need to deal with at thepany.¡± Joes understood and said obediently,¡±¡±Alright, you can go then.¡± Old master Zheng, who was at the side, also roughly knew what was going on. He said,¡±¡±Since it¡¯s apany matter, you should go and solve it first.¡± She did not mention what Ma Shan had just said andpletely ignored him. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi looked at each other. After making sure that she had no intention of leaving, they stood up and left the kitchen. During this time, Ma Shan gritted her teeth and stood up. She said to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back,¡±¡±Zeyi, you¡¯d better consider what I just said.¡± There was no reply for a long time. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slender figure disappeared at the kitchen door. He did not even turn his head back to look at them. This was his disregard for them. Joes¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She used her food to hide her urge tough. She did not know if Ma Shan would feel embarrassed being ignored. The answer was ... Of course he would. There was no reply for a long time. No matter how resentful Ma Shan¡¯s heart was, she could only sit back in her seat and sulk alone. Zheng lihan picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of chicken on her te.¡±¡±Alright, Zeyu knows what he¡¯s doing.¡± He was talking about Zeyu, not Zheng Zeyi. Ma Shan was so angry that she didn¡¯t even look at the food in her bowl.¡±¡±That¡¯s what you say, but Zeyi¡¯s not giving Zeyu any face. We¡¯re brothers, what¡¯s there to fight about? he¡¯s just the Vice President of a group. ¡± She pinched the chopsticks in her hand and raised her eyebrows in anger. ¡°Bang!¡± Old master Zheng was so annoyed that he mmed his palm on the table and shouted,¡±¡±Just eat properly!¡± The sudden movement shocked everyone. Joes frowned and patted the angry old master Zheng.¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, don¡¯t be angry. Aunt MA and the rest ... They probably just want to give their child a better life.¡± Chapter 329

Chapter 329: I¡¯ll get a car to send you back

On the surface, he seemed to be defending Ma Shan and Zheng lihan, but in reality, he had pointed out that they were only thinking for Zheng Zeyu. He had never thought about Zheng Zeyi. His only goal was to get the Zheng family¡¯s assets. Old master Zheng was well aware of this. If it were not for the fact that Zheng lihan was his son, he would have chased him out of the Zheng family. How could he allow them to stay? Old master Zheng snorted.¡±Ma Shan, did you hear what you just said? you¡¯re only a Vice President.¡± When he said this, his face was filled with anger. ¡°Even when Zeyi first entered thepany, he had to start with his studies and take one step at a time to get to the position of President! If he didn¡¯t get the approval of the Board of Directors, he wouldn¡¯t be in control of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group now. You¡¯re the Vice-President right from the start. You¡¯re really arrogant!¡± ¡°Dad ... I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± Seeing old master Zheng so agitated, Ma Shan panicked and exined. However, old master Zheng did not want to hear her exnation.¡±¡±You don¡¯t mean it that way? I¡¯m not deaf yet. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s words fell into their ears. Joes furrowed her brows and looked at Ma Shan,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng is in a fit of anger right now. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t say too much.¡± ...... ¡°You!¡± Ma Shan¡¯s finger trembled as she pointed at Joes. She did not expect her to have the right to criticize her. The scene was chaotic. Zheng lihan could not hold it in any longer and said,¡±Dad, you¡¯re making a mountain out of a molehill. Shanshan didn¡¯t mean that at all. It¡¯s just that Zeyu¡¯s ability is strong, and other positions are indeed a little talent that¡¯s of great use. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m making a mountain out of a molehill?¡± Old master Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and red. ¡°I¡¯m toozy to continue talking to you guys. Don¡¯t treat us like fools!¡± After saying that, old master Zheng didn¡¯t want to continue talking to them. They had just finished their meal, so he stood up and left. ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s go!¡± Upon hearing this, joesse was slightly taken aback. She quickly stood up and followed behind old master Zheng. Her expression was a little helpless, and she also felt a little angry at Ma Shan and the others. If it weren¡¯t for their family, the Zheng family wouldn¡¯t be in this state. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, don¡¯t be angry anymore. It¡¯s not worth it to get angry over them and ruin your health.¡± Joes said worriedly. Old master Zheng¡¯s footsteps were extremely fast. When he saw Jossi behind him, he slowed down a little. However, he was still very emotional. ¡°I¡¯m not angry, I¡¯m disappointed!¡± He had an expression of disappointment on his face. After sighing in disappointment, he did not say anything more. If he had known that the situation would turn out like this, old master Zheng would not have given the shares to Zheng lihan as a gift. Now, it had be their source of confidence to deal with Zheng Zeyi. Joes knew about this and did not say much. After consoling old master Zheng, the two of them walked towards the back garden. On the other hand, the situation in the kitchen was not much better. Ma Shan looked at the backs of Joes and old man Zheng as they left and mmed the table in anger. ¡°This little B * tch and this old man actually joined forces to deal with us! They really don¡¯t treat us as humans!¡± Zheng lihan furrowed his brows and was not in a good mood.¡±I don¡¯t think that joesse is a good person either. I heard that she¡¯s from amoner family. I will never allow someone like her to marry into the Zheng family. She¡¯s just after our family¡¯s property. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s face was gloomy, and a trace of viciousness shed in her eyes. She didn¡¯t touch much of the food on the table, but she was not in the mood to continue eating. She mmed the table and stood up. ¡°Tell Zeyu about this. No matter what, let him make his own decision.¡± Ma Shan left the kitchen in anger after she finished speaking. Zheng lihan also left helplessly. A farce caused by a position. After Joes and old master Zheng came to the garden, they sat at the stone table and rested for a while. The go board was still on the table, and it was still the same game. Old master Zheng could not help but get angry when he thought about what had happened just now. However, the person in front of him was Jossi, and he would not vent his anger on his granddaughter-inw. Sisi, Grandpa was just too angry just now.¡± Old master Zheng exined in a pale voice. Joes smiled and nodded her head. Of course, she could understand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Zheng. I know why you¡¯re doing this. It¡¯s a little too high for you to start off as a Vice President from the start. Besides, they don¡¯t think that way. Grandpa Zheng and I should be well aware of this. ¡± Now that there were only the two of them, there was no need for Joes to hide anything. This was something that could be seen from the surface. Old master Zheng was also on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side. However, Zheng lihan was also his son. He could not bring himself to kick the Zheng family out. And Zheng Zeyu. Even if old master Zheng didn¡¯t have a good impression of him, he didn¡¯t do anything. If he wanted to enter thepany to develop his career, he couldn¡¯t just reject him. This was the difficulty of being blood-rted. ¡°Sisi, even you understand the truth, but they don ¡®t.¡± Once again, old master Zheng shook his head in disappointment. He had long given up on Zheng lihan. Otherwise, things wouldn¡¯t be like this. She chatted with old master Zheng for a while at the Zheng family. Seeing that it was gettingte, she didn¡¯t continue to treat him. Instead, she said goodbye to old master Zheng. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, it¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll go back first. I¡¯lle to see you again next time.¡± Joes said very politely. She liked to interact with old master Zheng, not just in terms of personality. The main thing was that old master Zheng had a good outlook on life and was a humorous person, which often made Qiao siugh. Hearing this, old man Zheng also smiled and nodded.¡±¡±Alright, sisi, you can go back first. I¡¯ll get a car to send you back.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯ll just take a taxi. It¡¯s not that far from the blue sky Apartment, so don¡¯t worry.¡± Joes vowed. After what happenedst time, she was now on guard and would not let her guard down easily. ¡°This ... Alright.¡± Seeing this, old master Zheng did not insist and nodded. As he watched Jossi leave the Zheng family¡¯s Vi, he instructed the bodyguards to follow her in the car to ensure her safety. Joes had indeed boarded a taxi and the bodyguard had only returned after she had safely reached home. She wasn¡¯t sure about this. The night breeze was slightly chilly. The window was open, and the wind that blew in from outside carried a slight chill. Joes sat on the balcony, looking at the entrance of the apartment from time to time. She could not help but frown. Chapter 330 - Do you still remember us?

Chapter 330: Do you still remember us?

She did not know if Zheng Zeyi¡¯spany¡¯s important project had continued smoothly. Joes sighed slightly, took out her phone, and dialed a very familiar number. It was detective Wen¡¯s phone number. ¡°Hello? Miss Qiao, I knew it was you the moment I heard the bell. ¡± The call was picked up quickly, and detective Wen¡¯s chuckling voice could be heard. After he finished speaking, Joes could not help butugh. After returning to city h, there were indeed many things that she needed detective Wen¡¯s help with, so she called him more frequently. Last time, she had asked detective Wen to help her solve a big problem. Now, she had to solve the aftermath of this big problem. At the thought of this, Jossi cleared her throat and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s like this, detective Wen, I have something I need you to investigate. Maybe ... I still need your help, but I¡¯ll pay you ordingly. I wonder if you¡¯re interested, detective Wen?¡± The atmosphere fell silent for a while. The two of them did not speak for a while. Detective Wen was deep in thought. What could it be? Joes was also a little worried that he would not ept it. After all, they had worked together before and had mutual trust, unlike others. In this way, they would be more at ease if they continued to cooperate. ...... Most importantly, the task that joesse had asked him to do this time was rted to the previous trouble, so it was best to let detective Wen handle it. After a long time, detective Wen said with a smile,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, I¡¯m a little curious. Let me guess, does it have something to do with thest time?¡± There was a deeper meaning to his words, and after Joes heard it, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.¡±As expected of detective Wen, you¡¯ve guessed my intentions so quickly. That¡¯s right. If detective Wen feels that we can continue the discussion, I¡¯ll tell you the truth. The reward will definitely not be low, and it might even be more generous than thest time. What do you think, detective Wen?¡± Joes increased the temptation of benefits, but the effect of this move was also obvious. Detective Wen thought for a moment and pursed his lips. In the end, he agreed.¡±Alright, since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take it! Miss Qiao¡¯s credibility is obvious to all, I¡¯m not worried about that. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The curve on Joes¡¯s lips widened, and she revealed all her intentions without hesitation. Since he had to leave this matter to detective Wen, he had to know every detail. After listening to the story, even detective Wen, who was used to it, couldn¡¯t help but be a little speechless.¡±Miss Qiao, you¡¯re far-sighted,¡± ¡°How is this a far-reaching n? I¡¯m just worried that if the matter can¡¯t be resolved, it will affect the future. Since detective Wen has agreed, I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. Keep in touch by phone. ¡± Joesse said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± detective Wen replied without hesitation.¡±Miss Qiao, you just have to trust me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Joes chuckled as she heaved a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock had finally been lifted off her shoulders. As long as this matter was resolved, it would indeed sweep away a lot of trouble. After hanging up the phone, she looked up at the stars in the night sky, her eyes cold. She was no longer the joesse of the past and could now use other things to aplish what she wanted. For example, getting rid of some people. Of course, it wasn¡¯t to kill anyone. Joes wouldn¡¯t do such a thing either. Instead, she would try to break it down in other ways. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, the Qiao family was not having a good time in city H. They were still living in that old and shabby house, and the remaining money was not enough to support them to continue living in city H. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t dare to gamble anymore, but he didn¡¯t want to find a job either. He could only hang out in various bars or gambling venues. From time to time, he would lose some money and get beaten up, and in order to clean up his mess, Liu Yun and Qiao Feng could only find something to do. Even Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s Secret stash of money was found to pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debt. That afternoon, Qiao Lei was still sitting on the old sofa at home ying with his mobile phone when someone suddenly knocked on the door. ¡°Bang Bang!¡± The sound was extremely loud, and the force was so strong that it seemed as if the door was going to be smashed. Qiao Lei looked at the door in frustration. The game on his phone was at a disadvantage and would be lost soon. ¡°Who is it!¡± He shouted, but no one outside the door paid him any attention. They continued to knock on the door. Qiao Feng had gone to the construction site to move bricks to earn money. He couldn¡¯t possiblye back at this time, right? ¡°I¡¯m so angry, what kind of people are they ...¡± Qiao Lei scratched his head and could only resign himself to his fate. He threw his phone aside and opened the door. Liu Yun, who was cooking in the kitchen, also heard the knock. ¡°Lei, is your father back?¡± she asked. Qiao Lei ignored Liu Yun and opened the door. However, as soon as he opened the door, a hand grabbed his cor and lifted him up. ¡°Ah!¡± Qiao Lei let out a blood-curdling scream as his feet left the ground. His cor was stuck to his neck, and he could only feel waves of pain. At this moment, he finally saw who was standing in front of him. The entrance was almost surrounded by more than a dozen burly men, all wearing sleeveless shirts, and one could vaguely see the muscles hidden in them. Most of them even had tattoos on their arms. It was a shocking sight, and one could tell at a nce that they were not ordinary people. Qiao Lei was shocked. He also remembered who these people were. Wanwan was his creditor! Ever since he owed a debt, these people had given him a deadline. If he didn¡¯t pay up within the time limit, they woulde to Qiao Lei. But they didn¡¯t expect that they were so much ahead of time! ¡°If you don¡¯t return the money, I¡¯ll cut off your finger aspensation!¡± The big man¡¯s harsh words were still deeply imprinted in his mind. Qiao Lei¡¯s face turned pale and he was so scared that he didn¡¯t dare to say anything. ¡°Qiao Lei, you still remember us, right?¡± The one who was standing in front and holding his cor sneered and raised his eyebrows. The scar on his face was also more obvious to Qiao Lei. Qiao Lei¡¯s heart was about to jump to his throat, and he said with difficulty,¡±¡±Big brother, I ... I ... Remember.¡± The hugemotion in the living room attracted the attention of Liu Yun, who was cooking in the kitchen. Her eyelids twitched, and she immediately removed her apron. After removing her apron, she quickly ran to the living room and said,¡±¡±Lei, what¡¯s your name? What¡¯s happening?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was in the room, noticed it as well, but she realized that something was wrong. Crack ... Crack ... Zhao Hai ¡®er carefully opened the door and looked outside. Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 332-who did it?

Who were these people? Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened in shock, and she could note back to her senses. Those people had shocking tattoos all over their bodies and even on their faces. One look and you could tell that they were not good people. Zhao Hai ¡®er swallowed her saliva and saw Qiao Lei, who was being held by the cor. ¡°It must be this little bastard¡¯s creditor!¡± She cursed fiercely in her heart. She didn¡¯t have a good impression of Qiao Lei either. On the surface, they were all members of the Qiao family, and they were even on the same side against Joes. However, it was different because Liu Yun and Qiao Feng cared more about Qiao Lei. They were certain that their daughter was going to get married. As the saying goes, a married person is like water that has been poured out, sooner orter she will be someone else¡¯s family. However, it was different for a son, who had to carry on the family line. Therefore, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s life in the Qiao family was not very good. Even some of the money that he had saved up with much difficulty had been found by Liu Yun to pay off some of Qiao Lei¡¯s small debts. However, he still had no clue about the 300000 Yuan. Zhao Hai ¡®er red at Qiao Lei with hatred, but she had no intention of helping him. After reading it, she closed the door without a sound. ...... She did not want to get involved in this matter. At the same time, Liu Yun had also caught sight of the scene in her living room. She froze in her tracks. When she saw Qiao Lei being held by the cor, her sharp voice rang out,¡±¡±What are you doing? let go of my son!¡± Even though she said that, Liu Yun did not dare to move forward, because these men were simply too burly. Even if it was just a single punch, he would be able to knock Liu Yun to the ground and make her unable to get up. ¡°What are we doing?¡± The burly leader sneered and lifted Qiao Lei even higher, ignoring his constant screams. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you ask your good son about this? You guys should know that I owe you 300000 Yuan, right? When do you n to return it?¡± After saying that, the leader sneered in disdain and suddenly let go of Qiao Lei. Qiao Lei fell to the ground, making a loud noise. It was as if he was short of oxygen, as he held his neck and took in deep breaths. ¡°Lei, Lei, are you okay?¡± Liu Yun immediately ran over and helped Qiao Lei up from the ground. The burly leader sat on the sofa naturally as if he was at home. He picked up the beer on the table and took a sip. The next second. ¡°Bah, what lousy wine!¡± The burly leader frowned and vomited all the beer he had drunk on the ground with a look of disgust. ¡°You¡¯re so poor. No wonder you can¡¯t pay back the money. A poor person shouldn¡¯t gamble!¡± Qiao Lei and Liu Yun¡¯s faces turned red when they heard these insulting words. However, they did not dare to be too arrogant in front of so many burly men. He waspletely different from when he was in front of joesse, and his nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong waspletely exposed. Qiao Lei swallowed his saliva, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth.¡±¡±Boss long, I¡¯ll pay you back. Can you give me a little more time? 300,000 is not a small amount. Give me a little more time and I¡¯ll be able to gather it. ¡± ¡°You also know that it¡¯s not a small amount!¡± The burly leader spat and kicked Qiao Lei¡¯s stomach, causing him to fall to the ground again. Qiao Lei¡¯s stomach was kicked like that, and it was as if a River was overturned. He clutched his stomach andy on the ground, unable to get up. Liu Yun turned pale with fright and crouched down to help him up.¡±¡±You ... Why are you still hitting people? Didn¡¯t I say I would return the money?¡± ¡°Hit someone? We didn¡¯t just beat people up, we also killed people. It¡¯s your fault for not paying back the money you owe us!¡± The leader, who was called boss long, did not panic at all. Qiao Lei struggled on the ground for a moment. He held onto the wall and climbed up with difficulty. He breathed heavily as he said,¡±¡±But boss long, didn¡¯t you say that you would give me some time to gather the money? you ... You came too quickly.¡± ¡°When do Ie to get my money, it¡¯s not up to you, you little son of a B * tch, to control me.¡± The leader had just finished speaking when his underlings began to echo,¡±¡±Yes, boss is right.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only right to pay back what you owe. Why are you trying to reason with us now?¡± Sentence after sentence, Qiao Lei¡¯s heart was filled with fear, but the door was blocked and he couldn¡¯t get out. ¡°Lei, what do we do now?¡± Liu Yun was starting to panic as well. She had never experienced such a situation before. Qiao Lei had no choice but to clench his teeth and stick out a finger.¡±¡±Old man long, give me another week. I will definitely gather the money for you.¡± Now that things hade to this, this was the only way to buy some time. Upon hearing this, boss long looked as if he had heard a funny joke.¡±¡±Kid, are you dreaming or do you think I¡¯m an idiot? Your house isn¡¯t even worth three hundred thousand even if you sell it. What are you going to pay back with?¡± He was speaking the truth, but to Liu Yun and Qiao Lei, it was extremely harsh. He took a deep breath and said with certainty,¡±¡±Boss long, as long as you give me one more week, I¡¯ll be fine. No matter what, I¡¯ll get you the three hundred thousand. ¡± Qiao Lei was also going all out. Although the 300000 Yuan was still nowhere to be seen, if he didn¡¯t say that, boss long and the others wouldn¡¯t let him go. ¡°A week ...¡± Boss long fell into deep thought, as if he was really considering the feasibility of this matter. The atmosphere in the dpidated house was tense. Qiao Lei and the others didn¡¯t even dare to breathe. They stared at boss long, hoping to hear the answer they wanted from him. They probably did not expect that the reason why Boss long and the others came to find them so early was actually because of Jossi. The reason was because Joes had called detective Wen that night. Originally, it would have been fine if Qiao Feng and his family were to behave themselves after leaving the court. However, even though they were sentenced to paypensation, their family did not stop ndering Joes and doing all sorts of things to ruin her reputation. Joes had seen manyments on the inte. She was not a fool. Thinking from this angle, she knew who did this. Everything that happened in the Qiao family was within joesse¡¯s expectations. However, she hadn¡¯t received any news yet. She was dealing with some cooperation matters in thepany. ¡­¡­¡­ In the reception room of Xing Yuan designpany. There were many people sitting in the reception room. They were all bosses of smallpanies who hade to Xing Yuan design because they had the intention to cooperate. Joes was also delighted and naturally would not reject it. ¡°President Qiao, your proposal is good, but our capital is limited. Won¡¯t the profit cycle be a little too long?¡± Chapter 332

Chapter 332: A week is just right

One of the CEOs was still a little apprehensive and asked hesitantly. Joes understood his concerns. However, when doing business, one couldn¡¯t just focus on profits. Money wasn¡¯t the only thing that could bring apany to a higher level. Reputation and other aspects could all be the driving force. At the thought of this, Jossi smiled and said,¡±¡±Director sun, I understand your concerns. The profit will definitely be much greater than the cost. The star dors are now rising steadily, and you all know its potential. ¡± Her persuasion sessfully wavered the group of bosses of smallpanies. What Joes said was not wrong at all. Xing Yuan designs had the potential to be a bigpany. After all, they had two majorpanies backing them up. However, they were different. There were too many things that they werecking. If they were to establish a cooperative rtionship while Xing Yuan was still weak, there would be a lot of opportunities in the future. In the end, everyone gritted their teeth and made up their minds.¡±Alright, since you¡¯ve said so, we¡¯ll believe you too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. After I go to thepany, I¡¯ll draft the contract and bring it back to amend the details. Then, this matter will be settled!¡± ¡°We still trust President Qiao¡¯s vision. Everyone knows in their hearts that there are many areas in this project that can be profitable. ...... It¡¯s just thatpared to other projects, the profit cycle is a little longer. It¡¯s not a big deal. ¡± Now that they had agreed, everyone¡¯s previous hesitation was swept away and they were all determined. Both of them were in the business world, and Joes was no fool. She chuckled at the sight. ¡°Thank you, CEOs. After everything is settled, we¡¯ll find a restaurant to have a good meal.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal then.¡± After the matter was almost settled, the bosses of thesepanies left Xing Yuan design one after another. Millie stood at the door of the president¡¯s office, looking at the back of the crowd with admiration. She quickly turned to Jossi and said,¡±¡±President, I really admire you. You¡¯ve managed to convince them in such a short time.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes helplessly said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not entirely because of me. It¡¯s mainly because they saw the trend of the star dors. If it wasn¡¯t for Hengyuan and the Zheng¡¯s group, they would have waited and waited. ¡± Even though it was a little embarrassing to admit it, it was the truth. Joesse had also pulled off a Tiger¡¯s skin as a banner, borrowing the power of the two majorpanies. ¡°Even so, the president is still very capable.¡± Miley was still in awe. She was very capable, but she stillcked experience tomunicate with the bosses of majorpanies. Suddenly, Joes recalled something.¡±¡±By the way, thepany will officially have a holiday tomorrow, so no one needs toe to work. They¡¯lle back the day after tomorrow. The renovation will take about half a month, so I¡¯ll try to get them to speed up the progress. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie couldn¡¯t hide her joy. She left the third floor and went to the second and first floor to inform the other employees. Paid leave was not a benefit that was often avable. It was only because Jossi was more generous and thepany¡¯s employees were very hardworking that they had this opportunity. After all, the daily sry of all the employees in thepany was a considerable amount. After settling this matter, Jossi took her phone to the washroom on the third floor. She called detective Wen, put her phone on speaker, squeezed some hand wash, and began to wash her hands. ¡± After the call went through, detective Wen picked it up quickly,¡±¡±Hello, miss Qiao, are you here to ask about the progress of the matter?¡± After hearing this, Joes smiled. The mirror in front of her clearly reflected her delicate face, and now that she was smiling, she looked even more stunning. She raised her beautiful eyebrows and said,¡±¡±Detective Wen, you¡¯re right. It¡¯s indeed this matter. How¡¯s it going over there?¡± ¡°Things are going well. Boss long and the others have already gone to the Qiao family to collect their debts. They should be at the Qiao family¡¯s house now.¡± Detective Wen said. Last night, Qiao sisi had specially asked detective Wen to find Qiao Lei¡¯s creditors, which were first dragon head and the others. He had to find a way to let them know that Qiao Lei was likely to run away and not pay the 300000 Yuan. Then ... Detective Wen secretly revealed Qiao Feng¡¯s family¡¯s current address, which was found out by boss long and his men. Losing 300,000 Yuan was something that boss long would never allow to happen. The next day, he went to the Qiao family to pay off the debt. With joesse¡¯s help, the Qiao family¡¯s situation became even more difficult. After confirming the news, joesse¡¯s smile deepened,¡±¡±Very good. Thank you very much, detective Wen. I¡¯ll transfer the money to youter. It¡¯s the amount we agreed on at the beginning. ¡± ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯re too kind. We have a mutually beneficial rtionship. You pay me and I do my work. Our rtionship is very solid.¡± Detective Wen¡¯s words also meant that if there were any other requests in the future, he could look for him at any time. This was a big Boss, how could they miss him? Jossi naturally would not reject an additional person with more connections.¡±¡±Of course, I¡¯ll have to trouble you in the future, detective Wen. ¡°You¡¯re too polite!¡± Detective Wen. Joes wiped her hands and looked up at the lovely girl in the mirror. Her beautiful eyes were smiling and were extremely bright. This time, the Qiao family had suffered a huge setback! ¡°By the way, miss Qiao, I¡¯d like to ask, what do you think will happen after boss long and the others go?¡± Detective Wen was suddenly curious about the female CEO¡¯s answer, so he blurted it out without hesitation. After hearing this, joesse pursed her lips and pondered for a moment. The result? She imagined the scene and said with certainty,¡±¡±If nothing goes wrong, boss long should give him about a week to raise the money.¡± ¡°A week? ¡°Detective Wen didn¡¯t know why she was so sure. Joes quickly exined,¡±¡±I can¡¯t take too long or too short a time. One week is just right. I know what kind of person Qiao Lei is. He¡¯ll definitely try to stall for time as long as he can. However, this time, that boss long is not an easy character to deal with. ¡± As soon as she finished speaking, detective Wen came to a sudden realization, and his admiration for her grew. ¡­¡­¡­ In the dpidated house of the Qiao family. At the same time, the result was just as Joris had guessed. After Qiao Lei said that he would raise the money in a week, boss long thought for a while and decided to agree. A whole 300000 Yuan. Even if he killed Qiao Lei, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get the money back. Chapter 333

Chapter 333: The president who stands by his words

It would be better to give him some time to gather as much as he could. If he really couldn ¡®t, it wouldn¡¯t be toote to kill him then! With that thought in mind, boss long said directly,¡±¡±Fine, I¡¯ll give you a week to gather the money. If you can¡¯te up with 300000 Yuan in a week, you should know the consequences. ¡± At the end of his sentence, boss Long¡¯s tone was cold, as if a knife was already ced on Qiao Lei¡¯s neck. He didn¡¯t dare to move, only nodding. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss long. I¡¯ll definitely get the money for you within a week. ¡± Three hundred thousand a week ... Liu Yun felt as if the sky had fallen. She stood beside Qiao Lei and trembled, but with boss long and the others around, she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. She could only swallow all the bitterness back into her stomach. Why did her life be more and more difficult aftering to city h? Perhaps she didn¡¯t understand that this was called an eye for an eye. After making the decision, boss long didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. He stood up from the sofa and patted his clothes in disgust. As he walked past Qiao Lei, he muttered,¡±¡±I don¡¯t even know what kind of broken ce it is. It¡¯s dirty and smelly.¡± ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s go!¡± After saying that, boss long led his group of brothers and left the dpidated Qiao family¡¯s residence in a grand manner. ...... The momentum was so great that with so many people, it was as if the building was about to copse. Qiao Lei clenched his fists tightly with a face full of hatred, and Liu Yun, who was a little afraid, was left behind. After they left, Liu Yun quickly looked outside the door. After she was sure, she mmed the door shut and locked it. She leaned against the door and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Xiao Lei, those people just now ... They must be your creditors, right?¡± Liu Yun squeezed out these words with difficulty. Qiao Lei¡¯s face was gloomy and he didn¡¯t say anything. However, this matter was obvious. After a moment, he clenched his fists and finally said,¡±¡±Mom, I don¡¯t care. We have to get 300000 Yuan within a week!¡± ¡°But Lei, three hundred thousand ... It¡¯s not even thirty thousand. Where do we get that much money?¡± Liu Yun was in a difficult position. She also wanted to help her son pay off his debts, but she didn¡¯t have the ability to do so. Qiao Lei¡¯s face turned green. He strode over to Liu Yun and held her shoulders. With a bitter face, he said,¡±¡±Mom, only you and dad can help me now. If I can¡¯t return the money in a week, boss long and the others will definitely kill me!¡± Hearing this, Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but gasp. ¡°They even dared to kill people directly. Aren¡¯t they afraid of going to jail?¡± ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t understand. They all have people behind them, so they can run such a big casino. I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m your son. You and dad must help me. The Qiao family still depends on me to carry on the family line!¡± Qiao Lei threw out a heavy bomb. Even if there was no way, they had to think of a way now. Liu Yun gritted her teeth and could only nod her head.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll discuss it with your dadter and see if there¡¯s any other way.¡± Seeing this, Qiao Lei finally heaved a sigh of relief, but his body was still trembling. He couldn¡¯t forget the scene just now. He was still so young, and he didn¡¯t want to die! He didn¡¯t want to lose his fingers! At this moment, the door of a room was pushed open, and a drowsy-eyed Zhao Hai ¡®er walked out. She rubbed her eyes as if she was clueless.¡±Mom, what happened just now? why was there such a hugemotion?¡± ¡°Sleep! You only know how to sleep!¡± As if she had found a ce to vent her anger, Liu Yun rushed toward Zhao Hai ¡®er and poked her temple with her finger. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face was scrunched up from the pain. She lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes. ¡°Mom, what are you doing!¡± She raised her head and held her temple, asking in confusion. Hearing this, Liu Yun replied in an annoyed tone,¡±You only know how to sleep, what can you know? just now, Xiao Lei¡¯s creditors came to collect their debts! If it wasn¡¯t for Xiao Lei¡¯s cleverness, we might not even be able to stay here. How could I have given birth to such a useless daughter like you!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face. It was still fine when they were in town, as the difference in treatment was not so obvious. However, ever since they came to city h, the changes were bing more and more obvious. Qiao Feng and the rest were not good-tempered people. Qiao Lei was the family¡¯s treasure, so he could only vent his anger on her, his daughter. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hands were clenched into 70% of her fists, and even her nails were almost digging into her flesh. She barely managed to suppress her anger. She showed a shocked expression.¡±¡±No way. Those people just came to collect their debts. Mom, are you guys okay?¡± ¡°What could happen to us? are you hoping that something will happen to us?¡± Liu Yun said angrily. ¡°No, mom, don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er lowered her head. After a long time, she finally spoke again.¡±Mom, how are you going to deal with this matter? running away is not a solution.¡± If running away was useful, boss long and the others wouldn¡¯t be feared by everyone. ¡°We¡¯ll have to wait for your dad toe back and discuss it first,¡±Liu Yun sighed. ¡°Alright, we can¡¯t help it. Don¡¯t worry, mom.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said, pretending to be worried. The atmosphere in the shabby house was heavy. Everyone had different thoughts and feelings about this huge debt. Their current situation was within joesse¡¯s expectations. However, Joes would not put all her attention on them. At most, she would pay some attention to them in her free time. Thepany wasn¡¯t that free either. The most important charity dinner was in two weeks. It was also the grandest event in recent times. Basically, the bosses of thepanies in city h and even some of thepanies in the neighboring cities would attend. The event was organized by Hengyuan investment and the Zheng¡¯s group. Whether it was to make his presence known or to donate money to make some people like him, it was a business that would definitely make a profit. Moreover, with these twopanies around, and Zheng Zeyi, the president who always kept his word, the donations would definitely go to the people in the poor areas. Over the years, the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group had been doing a lot of charity events. Jossi understood this as well. She could not help but smile when she saw the search results on the web page. Zheng Zeyi looked like an evil CEO. He was sometimes cold and aloof, but he had too many shining points. Perhaps it was because of these shining points and his concern that Joes had developed feelings for him without realizing it. Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Chapter 335-can¡¯t bear to

That day, everyone in thepany was particrly energetic. The good news of the second day of paid leave made everyone work harder. Joes was also happy to see this and would asionally give out some benefits, which also gave the employees more motivation. She was sitting in her office and handling some contracts that had just been sent over when her phone suddenly buzzed. He picked it up and saw that it was Chen Anna. Without any hesitation, she picked it up.¡±¡±Anna, why did you call me all of a sudden?¡± On the other end, Chen Anna said excitedly,¡±¡±No, I just wanted to ask if you¡¯re free these two days.¡± His tone was so excited that even Jossi could tell. She had some spections in her heart. The only thing that could make her bad friend so happy was probably a new shopping mall or a new product. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Joesughed.¡±Just say it, don¡¯t keep me guessing!¡± Hearing this, Chen Anna curled her lips and did not hide anything,¡±¡±I heard that there¡¯s a new clothing store in the mall and the clothes there are very nice. I heard about it from my colleagues in thepany. They¡¯ve all been there, so I asked if you have time. Let¡¯s go together!¡± Upon hearing that, Joes was stunned for a moment. She was probably talking about ... The high-end shopping mall in the city center. In that shopping mall, whether it was the clothing store or the restaurant, the consumption index was quite high. ...... That was why previously, Joes and Anna Chen would only go for a stroll when they met each other on vacation. They would not go there on normal days. Now that Chen Anna had mentioned it, she remembered. Since tomorrow was a holiday and there was nothing else to do for the time being, Joes thought about it for a moment and agreed. ¡°I¡¯m free tomorrow. Let¡¯s go together. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! Ourpany¡¯s President just rewarded me with two days of leave because of the fashion show!¡± Chen Anna said excitedly. After making an appointment for tomorrow morning, the two of them changed the topic. Chen Anna revealed a mischievous smile and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, tell me the truth. Have you been in a rtionship recently?¡± It was a question, but Chen Anna¡¯s tone was certain. After all, they had known each other for so many years. Even if they didn¡¯t see each other for long, they would still receive text messages. Chen Anna was able to see this small detail, and she even had an idea who it was. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± Joes felt a little guilty. Chen Anna chuckled,¡±you think I didn¡¯t notice?¡± Xiao Ya also mentioned it to me. Let me guess ... Could it be Zheng Zeyi, the president of the Zheng¡¯s group?¡± He raised his tone at the end and teased her. Joes blinked her eyes and blushed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get straight to the point. I¡¯m in a rtionship with him, but we¡¯re a couple, not fianc¨¦e and fianc¨¦e.¡± Jossi emphasized this point again, in case this bad friend of hers went astray again. After this exnation, Chen Anna finally understood.¡±¡±I understand. It¡¯s very fast for a couple to develop their rtionship.¡± Jossi could hear herughter clearly even through the screen. She could not help but shake her head helplessly. Perhaps Chen Anna did not like Zheng Zeyi in the past, but after a period of time, her attitude had improved. If he was good to Joes, he was a good man. Because of this, Anna Chenughed at Joes for a long time before she hung up the phone reluctantly. Looking at the toot sound of her phone, Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes and threw her phone back into her pocket. After chatting, it was time to get back to business. With a document in hand, Joes went to look for Millie.¡±¡±Miley, this is the starting capital form for thepany¡¯s current projects. Calcte it. After deducting a part of the liquid funds, we¡¯ll take 7% of the remaining amount as the funds for this charity donation. ¡± While Joes was dealing with the contract, she had also thought about this matter in detail. It was not a good idea to donate too much. Xing Yuan design was not a bigpany like the Zheng¡¯s group. Even if they were to make a profit, they would have to wait for a while. If she did not have the ability, Jossi would not be a Big Shot. However, she wouldn¡¯t donate too little either. She didn¡¯t have the ability in the past, but now she had it. There was also such a fair opportunity. Of course, she couldn¡¯t miss it. After Miley heard that, she took the document and nodded.¡±¡±Yes, President. I will handle this matter.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± Joesse was slightly relieved. When it was almost time to get off work, the renovationpany finally sent someone to hand over the design n to Joes and the others. This had been discussed from the beginning, and it didn¡¯t take much effort during the discussion. After settling everything, Jossi drove back to blue sky Apartment. The apartment was as quiet as ever. She had just opened the door and leaned on the sofa when she received a call from Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Sisi.¡± The maic voice on the other end of the phone was like a light feather, fluttering joesse¡¯s heart. Even if she was used to it, she couldn¡¯t resist the temptation from the bottom of her heart. The expression on her face subconsciously softened as she asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen in thepany?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a problem. Thepany is currently running an overseas project. You should know about this.¡± ¡°Yes, I do know.¡± Joes nodded. It just so happened that he had mentioned this matter before, so she had some impression of it. Zheng Zeyi paused before he continued,¡±¡±Yes, project observation. I have to go abroad soon, but the time hasn¡¯t been decided yet.¡± ¡°Leave the country?¡± Joes let out a cry of surprise, and even her eyes shed with surprise. She had not expected this oue. ¡°Ha ...¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he heard the exmation. His deep voice made joesse blush. ¡°You can¡¯t bear to, can you?¡± he said with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Joes immediately retorted. She could not help but touch her earlobe, a guilty glint shing across her eyes. She cleared her throat and tried her best to suppress the feeling of guilt. Perhaps she was a little reluctant, but joesse would definitely not admit it. It was too embarrassing. Joes squinted her eyes and said,¡±¡±But you still haven¡¯t settled Zheng Zeyu¡¯s matter at the Zheng family, right?¡± She thought that she had found a reliable reason, so she spoke in a righteous tone. Zheng Zeyi was unconcerned after he finished speaking,¡¯him? Don¡¯t mind him. ¡± There was a deeper meaning in his tone, and it seemed like he had already thought about what to do. Since he had already said so, Jossi could not say anything else. She could only ask,¡±¡±How long will you be gone? when will you leave?¡± Chapter 335

Chapter 335: There¡¯s no ¡°if¡± in this world

¡°The day after tomorrow?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile widened.¡±Is my girlfriend ... Coming to send me off?¡± ¡°Yes ... I guess.¡± Joes could not help but avert her eyes. Her fingers stopped at her earlobe to hide her embarrassment. It was a good thing that Zheng Zeyi was not around. Otherwise, his guilty actions would have been seen through at a nce. ¡°By the way, do you have any ns for tomorrow? I heard that the entire star origin sector is on holiday. ¡± Zheng Zeyi pretended to mention it casually. ¡°I¡¯m going to the mall with Anna tomorrow,¡± Joes said without hesitation.¡±What¡¯s the matter? do you have any ns?¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t,¡± On the other end of the phone, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slender fingers rubbed his chin, a hint of a smile shed across his eyes. From the looks of it, his little wife probably wouldn¡¯t be deceived by that hypocrite Chen zuolin. This way, he was much more at ease. ¡°Okay, then you should rest early. The day after tomorrow, city h¡¯s airport. Don¡¯t forget.¡± Heughed in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡± Joes could not help butugh. After saying that, she hung up the phone reluctantly. ...... The hangingmp in the room exuded a soft light, which also illuminated her face, making it look gentler. She would go shopping tomorrow and see if there was anything she could give Zheng Zeyi as a gift. After all, she was going overseas for a period of time, so it was impossible for her to not pay attention to it. With this thought in mind, Joes put her phone aside. After brushing her teeth and washing up, shey down to rest. It was a peaceful night. The night was very quiet, but this night, many people could not sleep. ¡°What?¡± After a cry of surprise, Qiao Feng mmed his palm on the table, causing it to make a squeak. He had been working at the construction site for the whole day, moving bricks, and his body was still sore. He heard the news the moment he came back. That¡¯s right, it was the 300000 Yuan that Qiao Lei had boasted about in a week. Seeing Qiao Feng¡¯s anger, Liu Yun could not help but take a few steps back guiltily. She exined weakly,¡±That boss long or something, he brought a bunch of people to our house. They¡¯re even holding weapons and don¡¯t look like they¡¯re going to be kind. They even said that if they don¡¯t return the money, they¡¯ll cut off Xiao Lei¡¯s fingers!¡± Towards the end, Liu Yun¡¯s tone still carried a hint of fear. The events of the afternoon were still fresh in her mind. Zhao Hai ¡®er chose to remain silent. Only Qiao Lei wasn¡¯t as afraid after Qiao Feng returned. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t we still have a house? Why don¡¯t we ... Sell the house? we¡¯re living in city h now anyway. ¡± Qiao Lei hesitated and said. In his opinion, a house was far less important than himself. It would be the house¡¯s honor to be able to use it to pay back the money. ¡°No!¡± However, Qiao Feng immediately refused and said with a dark face,¡±¡±If you lose the house, you won¡¯t even be able to get a wife in the future. How are you going to continue the Qiao family¡¯s bloodline?¡± Qiao Lei furrowed his brows.¡±Dad, I¡¯m the only one who can carry on the family line. Do you really want my fingers to be chopped off?¡± After staying in this family for so many years, Qiao Lei knew his father¡¯s personality very well. He valued men over women to the extreme. As expected, after Qiao Lei said that, Qiao Feng gritted his teeth and hesitated. In the end, he sighed.¡±There¡¯s still a week. Let¡¯s see if there are any other ways. If there¡¯s no other way, we can only sell the house.¡± In an instant, Qiao Feng seemed to have aged a lot. The house was the foundation of his family¡¯s hard work, and he had never thought of selling it. But now, for the sake of his son, it seemed that he had no choice. With Qiao Feng¡¯s words, Qiao Lei was relieved. He nodded and said,¡±¡±Dad, I¡¯m relieved to hear you say that. Boss long and his people are not good people. I promise, as long as you help me return the money this time, I will never go to ces like casinos again!¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s tone was solemn and he almost reached out his hand to swear to the heavens. Seeing this, Qiao Feng¡¯s expression softened a little and he patted Qiao Lei¡¯s shoulder.¡±¡±It¡¯s good that you know. ¡± The atmosphere in the room was very heavy. After this matter was resolved, the atmosphere became a little better. Liu Yun stood behind Qiao Feng and looked around the dpidated house with anger and jealousy. How ... Did it develop to this stage? She thought to herself hatefully,¡¯no matter what, the house is ourst trump card. If I can, I won¡¯t sell it.¡¯ After all, the house was worth a lot of money. If he sold it, he would have nothing left. ¡°It seems like I still have to go to that ce tomorrow.¡± Liu Yun had an idea in mind, but she did not want to look for Yang Yue Yue. They had heard about her imprisonment. Fortunately, the house was old and the rent was not expensive. Yang Yue Yue had already paid a year¡¯s rent. Otherwise, after she went to jail, Qiao Feng¡¯s family would probably not even have a ce to live. But ... There were no¡¯ ifs ¡®in this world. When they heard the news, Liu Yun and the rest evenughed at Yang Yue Yue. So what if she¡¯s a big Missy? in the end, she¡¯ll still end up in prison and never be able to make aeback. Liu Yun clutched the corner of her shirt tightly as all sorts of thoughts ran through her mind. She had to go and find that little B * tch tomorrow. It was all because of her! That was why the Qiao family had be like this. ¡­¡­¡­ The next morning. Joes changed into a more casual white shirt and jeans. After breakfast, she took her bag and left the house. She had already made an appointment with Chen Anna to meet at the entrance of the hundred Star Mall this morning. ¡°Morning.¡± As she passed by, Joes greeted little red at the front desk. After hearing this, Xiao Hong¡¯s expression was also very happy, and she was a little ttered. After she came back to her senses, she revealed a sweet smile.¡±¡±Good Morning, miss Qiao.¡± After leaving blue sky Apartment, joesse drove to hundred Star Mall. What she didn¡¯t notice was that not far from where she parked her car, there was a sneaky figure hiding behind a car. After seeing her leave, he quickly followed her. Hundred Star Mall. Ten minutester, Joes ¡®car was parked in the parking lot. After she got out of the car, she could see Chen Anna¡¯s figure at the door from afar. ¡°Sisi, over here!¡± Seeing the person who had arrived, Anna Chen waved her hand. Joes crossed the road and the two of them finally met. ncing at the bustling interior of the shopping mall, Jossi asked,¡±¡±The newly opened clothing store you mentioned is in the hundred Star Mall?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Chen Anna nodded without hesitation. She was well aware of this kind of information. Chapter 336

Chapter 336: Can you bear it?

She was a fashion designer after all. Even if it was gossip in thepany, there was a lot of news rted to their own industry. Chen Anna patted her chest and said with certainty,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, sisi. The clothing store is on the second floor. Let¡¯s go in.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes was a little helpless, but she followed Chen Anna into the mall. The hundred Star Mall seemed to be particrly lively today. The first floor was packed with people, and the noise was endless. In addition, many shops were having activities today, so it seemed even more crowded. Joes and grace managed to get into the elevator with some difficulty through the crowd. They only felt better when they reached the second floor. The second floor wasn¡¯t as crowded as the first floor, because the consumption index was higher, so there were rtively fewer people shopping. ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s this way. ¡± Once Anna Chen reached the second floor, she excitedly pulled Joes along and walked forward. They passed by a few shops and finally stopped in front of an exquisite shop. This shop was obviously new, as could be seen from the new shop sign next to it. Through the clean and clear ss, he could see that there were already many people shopping in the shop, and they were mostly women. ...... ¡°It looks pretty good.¡± Joes praised. She could also see the exquisite clothes inside. There were more women¡¯s clothes, but there were men¡¯s clothes too. With just a nce, she was also attracted. All women loved to look pretty. Even though Jossi did not make it obvious, she would definitely not miss out on this opportunity. ¡°Of course. Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Anna Chen raised her eyebrows. The two of them looked at each other, reached an agreement, and walked into the exquisite clothing store. As soon as she walked in, a sales assistant came forward and smiled sweetly.¡±¡±Hello,dies. How may I be of service to you?¡± Jossi smiled at her and said,¡±¡±Thank you, but there¡¯s no need. We can walk around by ourselves.¡± ¡°Yeah, you should go help someone else.¡± Chen Anna also said. The saleswoman was stunned for a moment when she heard this. After she reacted, she didn¡¯t say anything and could only nod. ¡°Alright, two youngdies. If you need anything, you can call me at any time.¡± After that, the shop assistant left to take care of the other customers who had just entered the store. Joes and Anna Chen were just here to shop and did not really want to buy anything. After the saleswoman left, the two of them walked toward the women¡¯s section, where they saw many new products with unique designs. There were even Grand gowns. ¡°This clothing store is indeed not bad. It seems that my colleagues weren¡¯t just joking.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Then you¡¯re reliable for once,¡± joesse said with a smile. His tone was a little joking. After such a long time, the two of them were in an extremely good mood to go shopping together again. Chen Anna pretended to be angry and red at Joes.¡±What are you saying? when have I not been reliable?¡± ¡°They¡¯re all reliable, all reliable. ¡± Joes chuckled. The women¡¯s section had aplete collection of clothes, and they had almost all the styles they wanted. There weren¡¯t many sizes of clothes on disy. They were basically stored in the warehouse and could be retrieved by customers if they needed them. However, these clothes were all clearly priced. The price tags were attached to the sides of the clothes so that people could see them at a nce. All the clothes in this shop were not cheap, and they were not affordable for ordinary families. Of course ... It was still eptable to buy them asionally. When she saw a ck top, Joes ¡®footsteps slowed down. She took a few steps closer and got a clearer look at the clothes. This was a shirt that revealed her midriff, and there was no matching set, so she had to match it herself. ¡°Sisi, do you like this shirt? it¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s not only trendy, but it¡¯s also light and loose when you want to match it.¡± Following Joes¡¯s gaze, Chen Anna also saw the shirt. As a designer, she naturally knew more about fashion. After hearing this, joesse¡¯s hesitating heart settled down.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll buy this one then.¡± Just as her hand touched her clothes, the sound of footsteps could be heard. The next second, another hand stopped on the clothes rack. Joes frowned slightly and looked up, only to see a familiar face whom she had just met a few days ago. He teased qu ya. Qu ya had also just seen joesse. Her eyes were shining with shock, and she even forgot to retract her hand. The other two people beside her were Wen Qi and Yan Ling, whom he had seen at the fashion show partyst time. ¡°Joesse! What are you doing here?¡± Qu ya immediately eximed as if this was something unbelievable. It was the same for Wen Qi and Yan Ling. They could not react for a long time. They did not expect to see Qiao si here. At the end of the day, Joes was a little surprised, but she quickly regained herposure and said,¡±¡±Is it strange that I¡¯m here?¡± It was a clothing store that was open to the public, so it wasn¡¯t strange to meet an acquaintance here. It was a pity that ... Their rtionship was not good. Recalling what had happened at the banquetst time, qu ya was angry. This was the most embarrassing time she had ever been in public! The two of them saw qu ya¡¯s expression as she gritted her teeth. She nced at the other hand on the hanger and retracted her hand without a sound. Anna Chen also frowned,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t know better, you¡¯ll think that we were the ones who started this.¡± ¡°You!¡± Qu ya¡¯s eyes were wide open. She raised her finger and pointed at Chen Anna, as if she wanted to tear her apart. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t many people in the area, so their confrontation didn¡¯t attract much attention. Yan Ling pursed her lips and thought of what happenedst time. She had an idea in her heart and stepped forward to pull qu ya. ¡°Qu ya, don¡¯t be rash. There are too many people in this clothing store. We can¡¯t have another conflict likest time.¡± Besides, they were in the wrongst time. If they kept harping on this, their reputation would be quite bad. Yan Ling had a taste of the consequences. Many of thepanies that her family had worked with had the intention of pleasing Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi and giving up on their cooperation. If it weren¡¯t for the benefits in front of them, thepany would have lost a lot of money. So ... She really did not want to go against Jossi anymore. After Yan Ling finished speaking, qu ya thought for a moment and felt that her words did make sense. Her expression also eased a little. ¡°If you want toe, thene. I didn¡¯t mean that. But the cost of this ce ... Can you afford it?¡± Chapter 337

Chapter 337: I have a n

Towards the end, his tone was slightly mocking. Qu ya was still unwilling to give up, so she said thest sentence. Yan Ling, who was at the side, frowned and clenched the corner of her clothes. She couldn¡¯t help but curse in her heart,¡±trash!¡± He was still saying such things at this point in time. Wasn¡¯t it better to leave quietly? That was what she thought, but qu ya¡¯s thoughts werepletely different from hers, and their brain circuits were also different. On the other side. ¡°Pfft ...¡± Chen Anna almost spat out her saliva. She pointed at herself and then at Qiao si, asking,¡±¡±You think sisi can¡¯t afford it?¡± To the public, Qiao Si was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e and the president of Xing Yuan design. Was qu ya crazy? How could he say such words? In the face of Chen Anna¡¯s merciless ridicule, qu ya¡¯s face stiffened. She realized that the person in front of her was not someone she could bully at will. Xing Yuan design was not a smallpany that was unknown on the surface. Now that it was on the right track, it had gradually appeared in the public eye. She gritted her teeth and turned her head away.¡±¡±So what if I can afford it? I¡¯m also interested in this dress!¡± ...... As soon as she finished speaking, her hand fell on the hanger and she was about to take the ck shirt away. The sharp-eyed Chen Anna noticed it, and a faint ¡°Chuan¡± character appeared between her eyebrows. She said indignantly,¡±¡±Qu ya, sisi got this first.¡± Following that, Joes pulled Chen Anna back and shook her head slightly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Since youngdy qu wants it, you can take it. ¡± She curled her lips. This store was newly opened, so there should be a lot of stock left. However, she wouldn¡¯t buy the same clothes that qu ya wanted. It really felt like it was a drop in ss. However, qu ya did not notice Joes¡¯s indifferent attitude. She red at Chen Anna and waved the shirt in her hand. ¡°Did you hear that? she said that she doesn¡¯t want this dress anymore and that she¡¯ll give it to me.¡± ¡°If I give it to you, then you can take it.¡± Anna Chen pursed her lips. She had no interest in continuing to argue with qu ya. She turned to Qiao si and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go, sisi, to another ce. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with me today. I¡¯m in such a good mood, but I met someone I didn¡¯t want to meet. ¡± ¡°Who did you say was someone you didn¡¯t want to meet?¡± Before qu ya could say anything, Wen Qi couldn¡¯t help but speak. The two of them were impulsive and used to being domineering, so they didn¡¯t know what restraint was. As the tension in the air grew, Joes furrowed her brows ever so slightly. After a moment, she said indifferently,¡±¡±I¡¯ve given you the clothes, so don¡¯t keep harping on this matter. Or do you really think that I have no other way? You should be clear about what happenedst time. You sshed wine and ndered me. Do you really think I don¡¯t have a temper?¡± At the end of her sentence, she curled her lips and smiled meaningfully. For some reason, this smile fell into the eyes of qu ya and the others, but she was confident and had a n. Yan Ling pursed her lips tightly, nced at the back of Wen Qi and qu ya, and said softly,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, Xiao Qi, calm down. It¡¯s not a good time to get into a conflict.¡± However, the two people in front of her did not seem to hear her and did not take her words to heart at all. However, after Joes ¡®words, qu ya did not dare to say anything and could only re at her. It was as if he was using this action to vent his anger. ¡°Forget it ...¡± Yan Ling took a look behind her and also realized that things were getting more and more out of hand. She took a deep breath. In the end, he made a choice. Before qu ya and Wen Qi could react, he directly waved the phone in his hand. ¡°Xiao Ya, Xiao Qi,¡± she said,¡±my father told me to go back and settle some things. You ... Can go shopping first.¡± When she met Joes¡¯s smiling eyes, Yan Ling felt as if her thoughts had beenpletely exposed. Her face turned red and she regretted provoking this woman. She was not easy to deal with. After he finished speaking, he left the clothing store in a hurry, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after him. Wasn¡¯t that right? Yan Ling felt that if she continued to stay with the two idiots, qu ya and Wen Qi, she might not even be able to keep thepany. He had befriended them so that thepany could go up another level, but now he was retreating instead of advancing. When she walked out of the store, qu ya and Wen Qi finally reacted, their faces full of anger. ¡°Yan Ling!¡± Qu ya shouted angrily, but Yan Ling¡¯s footsteps did not stop at all. She directly left the second floor. Wen Qi was also so angry that her mind was in a daze. She didn¡¯t expect Yan Ling to do such a thing. They were stupid, but they weren¡¯t stupid. They could still see this. On the other hand, Joes, who was standing opposite her, took another look at Yan Ling. She finally knew what it meant to stop losses in time. ¡°Hey, your friends have run away. Do you still want to continue to confront sisi and me?¡± Chen Anna smiled. Seeing her smile, qu ya¡¯s anger intensified. She was clearlyughing at her! ¡°Let¡¯s go pay!¡± Suppressing the anger in her heart, qu ya left with Wen Qi. When they passed by, she even let Qiao si take another look at the clothes. This action was veryughable. Looking at the backs of qu ya and Wen Qi at the cashier, Chen Anna almost couldn¡¯t control her urge to roll her eyes. ¡°Sisi, if I had known that Richard and the others were here, I would never havee back to this shop.¡± She was extremely regretful. Her good mood of the day had probably been ruined by qu ya and the others. It wasn¡¯t easy for them to get the same day off, really! After hearing this, Joes revealed a faint smile and said helplessly,¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. Who knew they would be here? However, if they want the clothes, they can just take them. How about ... I have a n, let¡¯s try it out?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes widened. A glint shed in her eyes as she scanned her surroundings. There were people in the women¡¯s section nearby, but their attention wasn¡¯t on them. If they spoke softly, no one would notice. Thinking of this, Chen Anna quickly moved closer and asked curiously,¡±¡±Sisi, what¡¯s your n? tell me.¡± Now, only torturing scum could make her feel better. After a short while, Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±Fishing,¡± ¡°Fishing?¡± Chen Anna asked in confusion. At first, she didn¡¯t understand what he meant. However, after following Joes¡¯s gaze and scanning the interior of the exquisite clothing store, she instantly understood what her best friend meant. Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Listen to what they are saying

Wasn¡¯t this clothing store a good ce to fish? The bait had been prepared. Anna Chen raised her eyebrows.¡±Not bad, sisi. You¡¯ve even learned how to fish. Let¡¯s discuss this in detail.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a must,¡± Jossiughed.¡±If you want to survive in the business world, you have to know these things.¡± After that, she did not waste any time and exined her n to Chen Anna in detail. It wasn¡¯t really a n, it was just a simple prank. Since qu ya and the others were so good at jumping around, if he didn¡¯t teach them a lesson, he would be letting them down for trying so hard to make their presence known. After hearing the n, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up.¡±Sure, they¡¯ll probably regreting to this shop this time.¡± The two of them looked at each other and saw the smile in each other¡¯s eyes. At the cashier, qu ya had just paid for the ck shirt and put it into a beautiful gift bag. Due to the distance between them, they had no idea what Joes and Anna Chen were talking about. The price of the coat was not cheap, it could even be said to be very expensive. When qu ya paid, the smile on her face almost froze. She had thought that the clothes would not be expensive. In the end, it turned out to be a niche luxury brand that cost 10000 Yuan! ...... In the past, she wouldn¡¯t have thought much of it. However, after the incident with Joes, President qu had deducted a lot of her pocket money. Now, when she went out, she was not as extravagant as before. Every time she thought of this, qu ya would clench her teeth in anger. She hated it to the core. This had affected her interests. Holding the gift bag, qu ya¡¯s face was a little gloomy. She stuffed the receipt into the bag as well. Out of sight, out of mind. ¡°Xiao Ya, this dress costs more than 10000 Yuan. It seems that this shop really has a powerful background. Maybe it¡¯s really that person.¡± Wen Qi didn¡¯t expect it to be so expensive. She nced around the shop and frowned. Her words stirred up all kinds of emotions in qu ya¡¯s heart. She didn¡¯t want to answer, so she ignored her words. She changed the topic.¡±Let¡¯s not talk about this. What¡¯s the situation with Yan Ling? she clearly ran away just now!¡± Wen Qi¡¯s expression turned a little ugly.¡±¡±I know even if you don¡¯t tell me. She didn¡¯t tell me anything about her family. I think Yan Ling just felt that there was something going on between Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi, so she felt that she wasn¡¯t easy to deal with, and quickly ran away. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a piece of trash!¡± Qu ya cursed fiercely. If Yan Ling had not run away just now, she would not have been ridiculed by Chen Anna. ¡°Isn¡¯t she just a good-for-nothing? her family background isn¡¯t that great to begin with. We gave her a chance to follow us, but she actually rejected it!¡± At this moment, the two of them were full of resentment towards Yan Ling¡¯s departure and had also made up their minds not to give her any more chances to contact her. However, they didn¡¯t know that Yan Ling¡¯s departure might be the best decision she had ever made. After giving Yan Ling a good scolding, qu ya felt that her anger had subsided a little. She looked at the gift bag in her hand and frowned again. After a while, she nced around the shop and asked,¡±¡±Xiao Qi, where did that Jossi go?¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t left yet. He¡¯s in the ceremonial area over there.¡± Wen Qi had been paying attention to the movements of Qiao si si and Chen Anna. After listening, she quickly stretched out her finger and pointed in a direction. It was the uniform area of the clothing store, which was also the most expensive area. There were very few customers there, and most of them couldn¡¯t afford the price, so very few people went to see it. Seeing this, qu ya gritted her teeth.¡±¡±These two B * tches really think that everything can be easily solved after they got together with President Zheng. Even their attitude towards us is the same!¡± ¡°I also can¡¯t stand them! You¡¯re always acting all high and mighty. ¡± Wen Qi also echoed indignantly. ¡°Let¡¯s go and see what they¡¯re up to!¡± Qu ya made a prompt decision and walked over with Wen Qi. Of course, they had not forgotten what had happened just now. This time around, he could not start a direct conflict with her. Instead, he had to attack her in other ways. She was just amoner who had not seen much of the world. She was, after all, the daughter of the qu Corporation. There was no way topare the two. The scene of the two of them charging over was clearly seen by Joes and Hisashi. Without the existence of Yan Ling, who had always been apprehensive, they would not consider the consequences when they were overwhelmed by anger. ¡°Sisi, the fish has taken the bait!¡± Chen Anna raised her eyebrows and revealed a smirk. The two of them exchanged nces and pretended that nothing had happened. They continued to look at the beautiful dress in front of them. Although it was a newly opened clothing store, there was no doubt about the quality of the store. This was especially true for the area with the most luxurious ceremonial clothing, which carried the dreams and envy of many girls. Jossi wandered around the gown area for a while and found a few beautiful evening gowns. The price to pay was not low either. Each of them was more than 30000 Yuan, and the cheapest one was only this price. Seeing the price, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva,¡±¡±This is too expensive. It took me months to afford it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a gown, after all. ¡± Joesughed. At this time, qu ya and Wen Qi had also arrived, but they were observing them from the other side of the ceremonial area. After seeing their figures, the n finally started. Joes curled her lips and her fingers stopped on a beige evening gown in front of her. This was also the most expensive and beautiful evening gown in the store. The edges were embedded with broken diamonds that glistened under the bright lights. The design was a tube top. Those with good figures could even be the focus of the audience through the contrast of their gowns. ¡°Sisi, this gown is so beautiful. What do you think? Do you want to buy it?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes were filled with longing. Hearing that, joesse stared at the evening gown for a long while before she regained her senses. ¡°It¡¯s really pretty, but ... I can¡¯t afford it. ¡± ¡°You can¡¯t afford it?¡± Chen Anna asked in surprise,¡±Sisi, are you kidding me? how can you not afford it?¡± At first, the volume was very loud, but after realizing that it was inappropriate, Chen Anna lowered her voice. The information in his words was also very shocking. Qu ya and Wen Qi, who were watching from the side, were stunned for a moment. They saw disbelief in each other¡¯s eyes. She had thought that since Qiao sisi had managed to get close to Zheng Zeyi, she might be quite rich. She did not expect that she could not even afford an evening gown. ¡°Come closer. Don¡¯t let them see you. Let¡¯s hear what they¡¯re saying.¡± Qu ya reminded Wen Qi in a low voice, and she quickly nodded. Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Don¡¯t be so happy

The two of them quietly moved closer to each other, using other gowns to hide their figures. He was afraid that he would be seen and not hear what was toe. However, they did not know that their every move was being watched by Joes and Anna Chen. To avoid being discovered, Joes did not look in their direction. Instead, she stared at the gown in front of her with envy. ¡°Anna, what do you think? I¡¯m getting engaged to Zheng Zeyi soon, but I haven¡¯t joined the Zheng family yet. What right did he have to use the Zheng family¡¯s money? Also ... Thepany is in dire need of money now. It¡¯s still in its development stage, and we need money to bribe people everywhere. How can I save any money?¡± Joes sighed helplessly,¡±¡±That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t have the money to buy that shirt. After all, it¡¯s worth more than ten thousand dors. ¡± ¡°So, you were lying to qu ya and the others just now?¡± Chen Anna still couldn¡¯t believe it. Her face was full of shock. In reality, he could not help but give joesse a thumbs up. Her acting skills were truly amazing. Joes almost lost herposure. She cleared her throat and nodded her head awkwardly, admitting to it. ¡°I was lying to them. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have given them the ck top in the end.¡± Joes said. Chen Anna was impressed.¡±You¡¯re indeed more skilled. Those two women were too stupid. They believed what I said.¡± The two of them let out a burst of crisp and lightughter, which was extremely pleasant to the ear. ...... While admiring the beautiful evening dress, they discussed the ugliness of qu ya and the others, as well as their touching intelligence. All these words were heard by qu ya and Wen Qi, who were hiding in the corner. ¡°This B * tch! You actually dare to call me an idiot!¡± Qu ya was so angry that her breathing quickened. She cursed under her breath and looked at the bag in her hand. She felt that she had been cheated. It turned out that this B * tch couldn¡¯t afford it at all. Everything that happened just now was just an act! ¡°Little ya, I told you thatmoners aremoners. How could they have the money to shop in such a shop? it¡¯s just a smokescreen. This B * tch doesn¡¯t put us in her eyes. She actually dared to use such a clumsy lie and even wanted to buy an evening dress? Simply whimsical!¡± After finding out that Qiao sisi could not afford it, Wen Qi wanted to belittle her. If it wasn¡¯t for her, Wen Qi wouldn¡¯t have left the fashion show in such a sorry state yesterday. Her n to fish for a rich husband had beenpletely ruined. ¡°I must teach her a lesson. If she doesn¡¯t have money, then don¡¯te out!¡± Qu ya¡¯s eyes were red with anger. She could not stand the ¡®humiliation¡¯ that Joes and her partner had been ¡®humiliating¡¯ without any restraint. He walked out without any hesitation. Wen Qi was also furious. She followed behind qu ya and red at Qiao si si and the rest with a sharp gaze. ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys ... Leave already?¡± Upon seeing them, Joris feigned a calm and guilty look, sessfully making her lie more sessful. In qu ya¡¯s eyes, this was a sign of guilt after her lie had been exposed. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business whether we leave or not. Jossi, we have the money to buy things. Do you think that this shop won¡¯t keep us?¡± Qu ya forced out a mocking smile. She unconsciously lifted the gift bag in her hand, which contained the ck shirt she had just worn. Ten thousand Yuan was not cheap. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she couldn¡¯t put the price on the bag, qu ya would have shown her what high society was like. It was only ten thousand dors. It was just enough for her to buy a piece of clothing. On the other hand, Jossi, who imed to be Zheng ze¡¯s fianc¨¦e, could not evene up with such a sum of money. It was simply embarrassing! ¡°Xiao Ya is right. No restaurant would be stupid enough to kick their customers out. Do you really think you¡¯re big shots?¡± Since there was no one around, Wen Qi directly said everything she wanted to say. ¡°Hurry up and keep your mouth clean!¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She frowned and shouted. Fishing ... Didn¡¯t mean that she would be scolded by these two stupid fish. However, it seemed that because the n just now was too sessful, qu ya and Wen Qi were arrogant again. Even Joes did not know where the two of them got their courage from. Intelligence was a good thing. Unfortunately, they didn ¡®t. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? you¡¯re still looking at the evening gowns? these evening gowns aren¡¯t cheap. Can you afford them?¡± Qu ya sneered. ¡°Since you can¡¯t afford it,¡± Wen Qi echoed,¡±don¡¯t hang around in such a high-end store. Don¡¯t dirty these clothes.¡± The two of them echoed each other, surprising both Joes and Chen Anna. It wasn¡¯t because of their words, but because things had developed exactly as they had imagined. Wasn¡¯t it a little too smooth? After hearing this, Chen Anna seemed to be a little flustered and hurriedly exined,¡±¡±Of course we can afford it. You guys can ¡®t.¡± Joes looked on from the side with a dark expression. Her eyes were deep, but she did not say a word. She looked like she couldn¡¯t afford it. Qu ya and Wen Qi were even more certain that what they had just heard was true. ¡°If you don¡¯t have money, then don¡¯t pretend to be rich. Tsk tsk ...¡± Qu ya said sarcastically. Now that she was in power, she could not wait to return the face-smacking experience of being pped by Joes. ¡°Things are going smoothly.¡± At that moment, Chen Anna and Joes were both thinking the same thing. After exchanging a nce, they started to change the topic to the evening dress. Chen Anna seemed to be overwhelmed by anger and pointed to the rice-colored evening dress beside her,¡±¡±Do you see this? this is the most expensive dress in the store. It just so happens that sisi also likes this evening gown. Do you really want us to buy it and embarrass you?¡± ¡°Anna!¡± Joes shouted and pulled on Chen Anna¡¯s sleeve. The guilt on her face was getting worse. It was as if she would have to buy the beige evening dress if she continued talking, but she didn¡¯t have any spare money in her pocket. After that, Qiao si nced at the disdainful qu ya and Wen Qi and spoke before them. ¡°Anna is right. My fianc¨¦ now ... Is Zheng Zeyi! Thepany was also developing steadily and had great potential. You can ask your father what kind of existence Xing Yuan is now and whether he can be provoked. Besides, you¡¯re the ones who don¡¯t have money, right? She¡¯s just the daughter of a few smallpanies, don¡¯t be so happy!¡± His tone was filled with anger, and it immediately roused qu ya¡¯s anger. Chapter 340 - There’s a problem

Chapter 340: There¡¯s a problem

As if she had heard a joke, she pointed at herself.¡±¡±Jossi, you can¡¯t afford to buy anything, so you¡¯re nning to drag someone down with you, right? Look at the gift bag in my hand. Just this ck shirt alone costs more than ten thousand Yuan. How can I not afford an evening dress?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Our monthly pocket money is in the hundreds of thousands. We¡¯re poor and haven¡¯t seen the world yet, so don¡¯t apply your ideas to us.¡± Wen Qi was also eloquent and did not know how to respond to Joes and Chen Anna¡¯s rebuttal. Gritting her teeth, Chen Anna angrily replied,¡±¡±You can afford it? Who would believe that! After thest fashion show, his family¡¯spany must have suffered a lot of losses, right? Sisi is not someone you can afford to offend, let alone the Zheng¡¯s group. Your smallpanies are not enough to pay for the losses!¡± ¡°You!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, qu ya¡¯s eyes were full of anger as she red at Chen Anna. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were still people around the store, she would have already rushed forward. If it was her, how could she possibly endure this? Wen Qi also clenched her hands into fists.¡±¡±Sure, if you think we can¡¯t afford it, why don¡¯t we have apetition and see who¡¯s the poor one!¡± The two of them firmly believed that what they had just heard was true. Coupled with the guilty looks on Joes¡¯s face, he would not be willing to leave the shop and lose face if he continued to argue with them tomorrow. Compete? ...... After hearing Wen Qi¡¯s words, Joes and Chen Anna thought about it and decided to agree. ¡°Alright, how do you want topete? let¡¯s set the rules.¡± Chen Anna raised her eyebrows. She was not really not confident about this. He was full of confidence. Forget about her, but there was still Jossi here, the female CEO of a newpany. The two of thembined couldn¡¯t possibly lose to these two big-breasted, brainless women, right? ¡°Whoever loses will have to buy this evening gown and give it to the other party as a gift, no matter what method you use!¡± Wen Qi¡¯s face was full of mockery. As soon as she finished speaking, qu ya frowned and looked at her. Wen Qi gave her a reassuring look, leaned closer, and said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, can¡¯t we just let them lose? Didn¡¯t we all hear it just now? these two people don¡¯t have any money at all. If they win this bet and joesse can¡¯t afford it, what face and reputation would they have in the business world?¡± The more she spoke, the more relieved Wen Qi was. It was as if she had already lost and Joes had wanted to buy an evening gown as a present. Thest time at the fashion show banquet, the few of them had lost all their face. Now that Yan Ling had run away, there was no need to care about her! It was not easy for him to get the chance to p Joes in the face, so he definitely could not let it go. After she said this, qu ya also understood. Although she still had some strange feelings in her heart, she ignored them. Chen Anna, who was opposite him, immediately agreed, looking very impulsive. ¡°Of course,¡± she said, twitching her lips.¡±We¡¯ll do as you say. Sisi, do you think that¡¯s okay?¡± After hearing this, Joes fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere also quieted down temporarily. After a long time, she raised her head. As if he had made up his mind, he pursed his lips and said,¡±¡±No objections, let¡¯s do it this way. But ... What are your rules and what¡¯s the bet?¡± ¡°The rules are simple. This shop¡¯s background isn¡¯t simple. Of course, the bet is about cooperation!¡± The smile on qu ya¡¯s face was filled with confidence. ¡°That¡¯s right, cooperation!¡± The moment they said that, Joes and Anna Chen understood what they meant. In other words, he was talking about cooperation with the store, but in fact, he was talking about cooperation with thepany behind the store. Both of qu ya¡¯spanies made shoes. This store also sold shoes, but the quantity was rtively small. Since they couldn¡¯t find a partner for the shoes, they naturally had to fight for it. If they were sessful, maybe their family would be able to rise to a higher level. The most important thing was ... Qu ya and Wen Qi knew who was behind this store. Knowing this was equivalent to seizing the opportunity and directly discussing things with the person behind it. It was also because of this that qu ya and Wen Qi were so confident that they could win the bet. After hearing this, joesse furrowed her brows. She had not expected qu ya and her partner toe up with such a bet. Cooperation ... ¡°Sisi, should we agree to what they said? they seem to be very confident. Isn¡¯t this a little out of our League?¡± Chen Anna also noticed that something was wrong. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I actually had some thoughts when I first came. After she said so, I have a legitimate reason to do it. If we can secure this coboration, it would be a great opportunity for Xing Yuan design. ¡± Within a second, Joes entered the state of a strong woman at work. After considering the pros and cons, she also came to a decision. Chen Anna naturally would not refuse. She would do her best to help her best friend. After the two of them reached an agreement, Joes then said expressionlessly,¡±¡±The bet is fine, we agree to it.¡± ¡°You have some guts!¡± Qu ya sneered and gave Wen Qi a look. ¡°There¡¯s a time limit to this bet,¡±she said hurriedly.¡± We have to get the cooperation done in two days, which is today and tomorrow. ¡± As for the final evening gown, we would like to make a fewments. The losing party has to send the item to the other party¡¯spany and let everyone know!¡± Joesse felt helpless when she heard this. These two people were really not afraid that they would be the ones to lose. ¡°Sure, we can ept everything you¡¯ve said, but there¡¯s one problem.¡± Joes nodded. This so-called bet was still imperfect in many ways. In addition, qu ya and Wen Qi didn¡¯t have any credibility, so she also recorded the entire conversation. If they didn¡¯t have any evidence, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to turn the tables. At the thought of this, Joris touched the recording device that had been activated in her pocket and a faint smile appeared on her face. ¡°I want to ask ... If both sides do notplete the bet, what will be the final oue?¡± Qu ya was slightly taken aback. She had not expected joesse to ask such a question. She and Wen Qimunicated with their eyes and finally decided on the matter. ¡°If you can¡¯tplete it, the bet will be canceled.¡± At this point, qu ya looked away to hide the light in her eyes. Jossi noticed her unusual behavior immediately. Even if she regained herposure after that, it would be of no use. Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Is there anything I can help you with?

It seemed that qu ya and the others weren¡¯t prepared to let it go easily, and it was likely that they woulde up with some tricks. ¡°Sure, you said it.¡± Joesughed. ¡°Then it¡¯s a deal. However, Jossi, don¡¯t even think about it. You¡¯re definitely going to lose this bet!¡± Qu ya was full of confidence. After shooting a contemptuous nce at Joes and Anna Chen, she did not hide the smug smile on her face at all. It could be seen that she was determined to win this cooperation. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Xiaoqi. ¡± She retracted her gaze. For the sake of the bet, qu ya did not want to waste any more time here. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not waste time with unimportant people.¡± Wen Qi said sarcastically. After that, qu ya left with Wen Qi. She had a purpose in mind. She was going to find the person they knew who could cooperate with them. Chen Anna¡¯s expression only returned to normal after they left the store and disappeared around the corner. She stuck out her tongue and said with a smile,¡±¡±Sisi, your acting skills have improved. They didn¡¯t see anything wrong.¡± Joes helplessly replied,¡±¡±It has nothing to do with us. We can tell at a nce that something is wrong with this kind of thing. It¡¯s a clumsy lie that apany¡¯s President doesn¡¯t have spare money. I guess they don¡¯t know that Hengyuan and the Zheng¡¯s group are behind Xing Yuan¡¯s design. ¡± ...... ¡°That¡¯s true. Chen Anna nodded in agreement. Qiao si made a bold guess that qu ya and Wen Qi rarely involved themselves in the business world, so it was normal for them to not know about this. How could a newpany that was jointly invested by the two major enterprises not have enough money to operate? It was just a lie that Joes had made up in order to fish, but she did not expect them to really believe it. His IQ was touching. ¡°But ... Judging from how confident qu ya and the others are, I¡¯m not surprised that they know something about this shop.¡± Joes recalled qu ya and the other¡¯s attitude earlier and connected the dots. If they were not confident, they would not have chosen to make this bet. They were definitely confident that they could embarrass Joes and the rest. However, they had underestimated Joes¡¯s observation skills. After entering the store, she observed many ces, including the insignificant sign not far from the cashier. It wasn¡¯t eye-catching, and few people would notice it on normal days. It was the symbol of a pair of Silver Wings. It was also ... The symbol of Hengyuan investment, but it was a new design by Chen zuolin. Jossi had heard him mention it when she was on the phone previously, but it had not been Fully Promoted yet. The result was obvious. Why did this shop have the Hengyuan investment logo? The corners of Joes¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, and even her eyes shed with a smile. She had already confirmed it. ¡°Sisi, if they know the people from thispany, then the bet this time is a little difficult. Qu ya and the other guy are nning to embarrass us. I don¡¯t know where they got their petty minds from, but they still want to publicize their loss. ¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes and nced at the rice-colored evening dress next to her. Moreover, the bet was on this gown. It was the best custom-made gown in the store, and the price was almost unimaginable-two hundred thousand Yuan! Chen Anna did not think that Joes could not afford it. Even though she was worried, she still believed that Joes would have a way. As expected, Joes¡¯s next words made her feel more at ease. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have a n. Let¡¯s go find a coffee shop and sit down.¡± Joesughed. The two of them didn¡¯t stay in the store for long. When they left, she still took a look at the silver logo. ¡­¡­¡­ In the coffee shop at hundred Star Mall. The atmosphere in the coffee shop was very good. The fragrance of all kinds of coffee wafted in the air. The strong smell assailed the nose, making people calm down involuntarily. There were many people sitting in the cafe, but the seats seemed to be far away and elegant. Joes and Anna Chen found a seat by the window. Through the window, they could see the busy traffic outside. There was a cup of coffee in front of both of them, and the aroma was strong. Chen Anna took a silver spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup. She asked curiously,¡±Sisi, you just said you have a way. What is it?¡± She knew her best friend well. Since she said that, she must be determined to win. Jossi took a sip of her coffee and smiled.¡±¡±I just saw a familiar logo in that clothing store.¡± Then, she told Chen Anna everything that she had just thought of. Among them, the most certain thing was that the Twin-wing logo was definitely a new logo invested by Hengyuan, but it was not well known to the public. As the president of Hengyuan investment, Chen zuolin¡¯s words could be trusted 100%. ¡°Oh, right! Now that you¡¯ve said that, I know what to do. Isn¡¯t President Chen the shareholder behind Xing Yuan?¡± Chen Anna began to get excited and raised her eyebrows. ¡°Yup,¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up. With an acquaintance around, it would be much more convenient. Even if it wasn¡¯t a real cooperation, a verbal agreement was still a victory. Chen zuolin was the president of Hengyuan investment. Who else in thepany had more decision-making power than him? Almost none. ¡°Sisi, what are you going to tell President Chen? but in my opinion, cooperation is a win-win situation. Even without qu ya¡¯s incident, President Chen didn¡¯t lose anything by working with you. Because of this fashion show, Xing Yuan has really made a name for himself. ¡± Chen Anna helped her organize the matter and felt that it was feasible. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call and ask.¡± Joesse did not waste any time and immediately picked up her phone to call Chen zuolin. The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have been waiting for news. He picked up immediately after the call was made. Even Joes herself was surprised, let alone Anna Chen. ¡°So fast?¡± She cried out in surprise and quickly covered her mouth, swallowing all her words back into her stomach. Joes gave her a hand gesture before asking,¡±¡±Big brother Chen.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen zuolin smiled,¡±Sisi, what¡¯s the matter?¡± He was holding a book in his hand, and his slender fingers were stroking the rough pages. Since he had some free time, he was actually about to call Joes to ask about it. He did not expect her to call him before he could. Joesse pursed her lips, and after organizing her words in her heart, she finally spoke. Chapter 342

Chapter 342: I definitely won¡¯t disappoint you

¡°It¡¯s like this, brother Chen. I¡¯m not here to shop at the hundred Star Mall today. I found a new clothing store here. At the cashier, I saw the silver Wings logo that you mentioned to mest time. ¡± Joes enunciated each and every word clearly. She had seen it clearly just now, and there was no way she was wrong. He even took a photo. As for the other brands, joesse had never heard of such a logo before. Only Chen zuolin was right. As expected, Chen zuolin fell into silence after she finished speaking. After thinking for a moment, he finally remembered. ¡°Sisi, I think I know what you¡¯re talking about. Hundred Star Mall ... Silver Love clothing store?¡± Although his tone was doubtful, he had already confirmed it in his heart. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s the name. Brother Chen, this clothing store is also a property of Hengyuan, right?¡± Joes asked. On the other end of the phone, Chen zuolin¡¯s brows furrowed slightly as he spat out a single word,¡±¡±Yes,¡± He knew about the opening of this clothing store, but he did not pay much attention to it. There were so many things to do in thepany every day, and Chen zuolin wouldn¡¯t pay much attention to the opening of a single store. He only recalled it after Joes mentioned it. ...... ¡°That store is Hengyuan¡¯s stepping stone to enter the clothing industry. It¡¯s not perfect yet. Have you been there?¡± Chen zuolin asked. Upon hearing that, the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, and she said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve indeed been there. The environment is very good. The quality of the clothes is also top-notch. The entire store is veryfortable. ¡± Joes was not lying when she said that. After she entered the clothing store, the first thing she felt was indeed these. If they had not met qu ya and the others there, they would have been in a better mood. ¡°If you think it¡¯s good, then it¡¯s good.¡± Chen zuolin unconsciously revealed a faint smile. At that moment, it was as if ice and snow had melted. Unfortunately, through the screen, joesse could not see the change in Chen zuolin¡¯s expression. She could only hear the slight smile in his tone. And ... These words felt a little off. Joesse pursed her lips slightly, her heart filled with doubt. However, she could not put her finger on what was wrong. After suppressing this strange feeling, she continued to ask,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, I have something to tell you, and I might need your help.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Chen zuolin straightened his face to show his solemness. He even put his fist against his thin lips to clear his throat. Initially, Joes did not n to hide anything. After hearing Chen zuolin¡¯s words, she revealed everything that had happened. From qu ya¡¯s appearance to her and Chen Anna¡¯s fishing, nothing was missed. After all, he still hoped that Chen zuolin could cooperate and help. Although this would be beneficial to both sides, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t know about this before. Since she had an idea, she naturally had to exin it. A few minutester, joesse had finished exining the entire situation. Chen zuolin could be considered to have gained a better understanding of the situation. A momentter, his expression was somewhat helpless, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.¡±¡±You guys ... Are so energetic.¡± ¡°Is that apliment?¡± Joesughed and sighed. Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up, and she couldn¡¯t help but get closer to observe her friend¡¯s expression. However, Joes rolled her eyes at her and turned up the volume of the phone. She didn¡¯t talk about anything shameful with Chen zuolin, but she didn¡¯t feel guilty at all. However, if the person was Zheng Zeyi, the result would bepletely different. ¡°I understand what you mean. You want Hengyuan and Xingyuan to cooperate and add some new products to this clothing store, right?¡± Chen zuolin immediately understood what she meant. Joes blinked her eyes and nodded as she replied,¡±¡±Big brother Chen is right. That¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking.¡± There was one more thing that she didn¡¯t say, but it wasn¡¯t necessary. Chen zuolin had already understood it. He was the president of Hengyuan, and he would never decide to work with the qu Corporation or Wen Qi¡¯s family. In the end, they would have to get his consent. No matter who Hengyuan¡¯s investor was, qu ya and the others would still have to return to Chen zuolin. Joes did not force Chen zuolin to not work with them, as it would make Hengyuan¡¯s path into the clothing industry smoother. Even cooperation was not impossible. This time, she was fighting for the opportunity to cooperate with Hengyuan and Xingyuan. The two could not bepared. After exining her thoughts to Chen zuolin, Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. Chen Anna, who was beside him, did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that she would make any noise. It didn¡¯t take long for Chen zuolin to give an answer. ¡°I think everything you¡¯ve said is feasible. Don¡¯t think too much about it. I¡¯m not thinking about it from the perspective of a friend, but from thepany¡¯s perspective.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s first sentence made her feel slightly more at ease, as if he had guessed that joesse would overthink. He then continued,¡±the current rising trend of star dors is very stable. Recently, there have been many more business partners.¡± Hengyuan won¡¯t lose anything if we work with you. Instead, we can use Xing Yuan jewelry to increase the poprity of our clothing store. ¡± As Chen zuolin spoke, he caressed the page and gently turned it over. ¡°So ... This is such a good thing, why not?¡± He chuckled, instantly pulling Jossi back from her thoughts. After all, they had known each other for a year. Of course, Qiao si understood that Chen zuolin¡¯s words meant that he had agreed. ¡°Big brother Chen, you agree?¡± She asked, full of joy. ¡°Yes.¡± Chen zuolin spat out a word. His eyes curved slightly, no longer as indifferent as before. Ever since he got to know Joes, he had been smiling more and more. ¡°That¡¯s great! Big brother Chen, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go back tonight and sort out the general idea of the n, and then I¡¯ll send it to you. Xing Yuan¡¯s reputation is still extremely good to the outside world. He definitely won¡¯t let you down!¡± Chen zuolin smiled helplessly as he listened to the movements on the phone. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Besides, aren¡¯t you on leave today? There¡¯s no need to be in such a hurry. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry. I¡¯m still clear about the requirements for Hengyuan investment. Even if you¡¯re a shareholder behind it, this back door is too big. Since I have the ability and I¡¯m free now, I can¡¯t really waste my time. Brother Chen, just wait for me to send you the n tonight. ¡± The future of star dors had risen again. As the CEO, how could Joes not be happy about this? Chapter 343

Chapter 343: I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news

She had watched Xing Yuan get to where he was now, step by step, and perhaps it was not as difficult as other people who started from scratch. However, since he had this resource, why waste it? Chen zuolin nodded his head slightly after hearing Joss¡¯s words,¡±¡±Anything is fine. Just send it to me when you have time.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to thank you, brother Chen!¡± After greeting each other, the two of them hung up the phone. Chen Anna didn¡¯t even bother to drink the coffee in front of her and asked excitedly,¡±¡±So, did you agree to it?¡± ¡°Of course, big brother Chen is a very good person. Besides, this matter is not bad for Hengyuan.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and smiled. However, Chen Anna revealed an evil smile,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think I¡¯m hallucinating ... I keep feeling that there¡¯s something fishy between you and President Chen.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Shock shed across Joes¡¯s eyes as she red at Chen Anna.¡±¡±In all honesty, there¡¯s nothing between brother Chen and me. There¡¯s nothing between us. Besides, I have a boyfriend now, so don¡¯t talk nonsense. ¡± Thinking of Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi¡¯s heart could not help but beat faster. He was the king of jealousy! ...... If he were to hear what Chen Anna said just now, it would be equivalent to overturning the jar of vinegar. Just thinking about it made Joes feel sour. Since she had said so, Chen Anna did not continue to discuss this topic and changed it to something else. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Since President Chen has agreed to cooperate, this matter should be in the bag. It¡¯s impossible for qu ya to seed. Sisi, go! Let¡¯s celebrate our sessful fishing!¡± At the end of her sentence, Chen Anna raised her eyebrows and stood up, hinting for Jossi to take a walk outside. This was not the only clothing store in the hundred Star Mall. There were also all kinds of exquisite stores. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll treat you this time. Let¡¯s go.¡± Joes waved the bag in her hand and the two of them looked at each other. They smiled and left the cafe. It had only taken them a little more than ten minutes to settle the cooperation, but things had not gone so smoothly for qu ya. ¡­¡­¡­ The Royal Restaurant. ¡°Xiaoqi, you¡¯ve already called manager Wang out?¡± Qu ya asked anxiously. Although she was very confident in this bet, she still hoped to finish it as soon as possible. Only then would he be able to give Jossi a tight p in the face and let her know the difference between the two of them. Wen Qi nodded and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I just contacted manager Wang. He said there¡¯s no problem and wille over in a while. That B * tch Jossi probably didn¡¯t expect us to find a partner so quickly. ¡± At the end of her sentence, the corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and her eyes were filled with disdain. Qu ya was the same. If joesse were here, she would probably be mocking him. The two of them had no idea that joesse had already spoken to Hengyuan investment¡¯s Chen zuolin and had basically confirmed the coboration. Manager Wang was only the Department manager of Hengyuan investment. Even if he had the intention, he had to get the president¡¯s consent. If they knew about this, they would not believe that joesse actually had a rtionship with Chen zuolin. They didn¡¯t know much about the business world. ¡°Manager Wang is the manager of Hengyuan¡¯s design department. I heard that this project was temporarily handed over to him. There will definitely be no problems this time.¡± Wen Qi said with certainty. ¡°It¡¯s good that there¡¯s no problem. This time ... We¡¯re just waiting for Jossi to send that gown to us.¡± At the thought of that scene, qu ya wanted to publicize it to everyone in the business world. After waiting in the private room for a while, manager Wang, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, arrived with a smile. ¡°Manager Wang, you¡¯re finally here.¡± When they saw the person who had arrived, qu ya and Wen Qi quickly stood up to receive him. Their attitudes were extremely respectful, and it was like the difference between heaven and earth when they treated Qiao si si. These were people from Hengyuan. Since herpany was still hoping to cooperate with the bigpanies, she couldn¡¯t offend them. As for joesse ... In qu ya¡¯s eyes, if she had not made the first move and snatched Zheng Zeyi away, she would have been the future mistress of the Zheng¡¯s group. Therefore, it was impossible for them to have a good attitude. They werepletely jealous. Listening to the two¡¯spliments, manager Wang smiled and sat opposite them. The dining table was already filled with dishes that had been prepared, but qu ya and the other woman did not even touch their chopsticks. Manager Wang nced at the two people¡¯s stiff expressions and picked up the red wine on the table for a sip. His attitude was very good. After a moment, he asked,¡±¡±I heard that miss qu and miss Wen are here to discuss a cooperation?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Qu ya was the first to speak. She swallowed her saliva and suppressed the anxiety in her heart. She smiled embarrassedly and said,¡±¡±Xiaoqi and I have some thoughts about the new store under Hengyuan.¡± Since it was a cooperation, it was impossible to only care about qu ya and the others ¡®own interests. He had to let manager Wang see the possibility of profit, only then would there be a possibility of continuing the discussion. Otherwise, there was no need to talk at all. Thinking of this, Wen Qi said,¡±Xiao Ya is right. Manager Wang, you know that our twopanies mainly produce shoes.¡± Whether it¡¯s a luxury brand or an ordinary brand, ourpany is involved in all of them. Manager Wang, we¡¯ve also been to your store. ¡± Wen Qi smiled and pushed the red wine on the table over a little more, her eyes a little flirtatious. Seeing this, manager Wang¡¯s lips curved up a little. He took a sip of red wine and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°We are well aware that yourpany has a high threshold, but ... Our products are absolutely guaranteed to be of good quality.¡± In front of manager Wang, Wen Qi kept talking about the benefits of the cooperation. Manager Wang thought for a moment before saying,¡±¡±I understand what you¡¯re saying. Regarding that shop, we haven¡¯t found a partner for the shoes yet. I can consider what you said, but I can¡¯t make a decision directly. I still need to consult the president. ¡± In the face of Wen Qi¡¯s many hints, he turned a blind eye. After saying this tactfully, he drank the red wine in his ss in one go. Upon hearing this, qu ya and Wen Qi looked at each other and understood what he meant. She twitched her mouth and said with a smile,¡±¡±Since manager Wang has said so, we¡¯ll be waiting for your good news.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After he finished speaking, manager Wang looked at the time. Just as he was about to get up, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Chapter 344

Chapter 344: I haven¡¯t gone shopping with you in a long time

The phone screen showed that it was president Chen of Xuxu. Seeing the note, manager Wang¡¯s expression changed. He stood up and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I have to take this call. ¡± He left in a hurry, leaving qu ya and Wen Qi confused. Both of them frowned. Qu ya patted the table, not in the mood to touch the exquisite dishes on the table. With an ugly expression, she said,¡±¡±What do you mean by this manager Wang?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but it should be a sess. There¡¯s no harm in working with us. Even President Chen from Hengyuan wouldn¡¯t say anything.¡± Wen Qi¡¯s spection was reasonable. After she said this, qu ya¡¯s face looked a little better. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we can basically get her. Now, we¡¯re just waiting to see that B * tch Joes make a fool of herself.¡± Qu ya sneered. The two of them felt that they had to win, but what they didn¡¯t know was that the original trend had already changed. After manager Wang went out to answer the call, he asked respectfully,¡±¡±President Chen, may I know why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± Chen zuolin was the president of Hengyuan investment and also the person in power. Everyone in thepany respected him. Although manager Wang was currently in charge of this project, he still had to ask for the president¡¯s opinion before he could carry out his decision with ease. ¡°Manager Wang, are you in charge of the newly opened store in the hundred Star Mall?¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s deep voice sounded, causing manager Wang to be slightly stunned. After he recovered, he quickly said, ¡°That¡¯s right, President. I¡¯m currently in charge of that project.¡± ...... After getting the answer, Chen zuolin went straight to the point,¡±¡±For that project, don¡¯t bring in any partners for now. I already have an idea. As for the things you might have discussed before, reject them for the time being and do as I say. ¡± What? Manager Wang¡¯s eyes widened, and his heart was full of surprise. He didn¡¯t think that such a decision was bad, but he was surprised that the president would suddenly intervene in this project. This was just a small project. Investing in Hengyuan wasn¡¯t worth mentioning. Chen zuolin didn¡¯t have to be personally responsible. If not for the call from Jossi, he would have given manager Wang full authority. Unfortunately, this was how the change urred. After going through the matter in his heart, manager Wang had an idea in his heart. He nodded solemnly.¡±¡±Yes, President. I just happened to meet two people from the shoepany. The brand is not bad, and they even have luxury brands. I was nning to look at the products before asking you, but I¡¯ll reject them now. ¡± He was talking about qu ya and Wen Qi, who were waiting for him in the private room. Hearing this, Chen zuolin remained calm and said indifferently,¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll leave this matter to you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President. ¡± After hanging up the phone, manager Wang took a deep breath and threw the phone back into his pocket. He furrowed his brows tightly and nced at the private room not far away. She felt that the CEO¡¯s decision this time was very sudden, or ... It had something to do with the two women in the room. It had to be said that manager Wang was already very close to the truth. When he returned to the private room, qu ya and Wen Qi greeted him with a smile, their acting was excellent. ¡°Manager Wang, we¡¯re done with our discussion. There¡¯s still so much food left, we can¡¯t waste it.¡± Wen Qi said with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, manager Wang shook his head and said with a serious expression,¡±¡±Miss qu, miss Wen, I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t make the decision regarding the cooperation.¡± In an instant, qu ya and Wen Qi froze in ce. The two of them did not know what had happened, and many emotions welled up in their hearts. After a long time, qu ya finally suppressed the anger in her heart and forced an ugly smile. She asked,¡±¡±What do you mean, manager Wang? didn¡¯t we already agree on this?¡± Wen Qi also suppressed her anger and wanted to hear the reason. Seeing their expressions, manager Wang returned to his cold self and picked up the briefcase on the seat next to him. ¡°This is the president¡¯s order. We¡¯re not cooperating with anyone for this project at the moment. You two, I still have something to do at thepany, so I¡¯ll be leaving first. You can enjoy your meal. ¡± ¡°But the king¡¯s Sutra ...¡± Before qu ya could finish her words, manager Wang walked toward the door without any intention of responding, leaving only his back. With him gone, qu ya and Wen Qi no longer had to hide their emotions. ¡°Pa!¡± Qu ya mmed her palm on the table, making a loud noise. She couldn¡¯t understand how things had turned out this way. Wen Qi¡¯s face was also very ugly, and her eyes were fixed on the door where manager Wang had left. ¡°How could this be ...¡± She mumbled softly, but manager Wang was the person in charge of this project. If he had rejected her, it would be useless to find someone else. Moreover, manager Wang had also clearly said that this was the intention of President Chen, the president of Hengyuan investment. It should have nothing to do with them. ¡°Little ya, what do we do now?¡± Wen Qi raised her head and looked at the angry qu ya. The private room fell into a brief silence. Many emotions shed across qu ya¡¯s face, and finally, she narrowed her eyes slightly. ¡°At most, we can¡¯t work together. That B * tch Joes asked us what we should do if both sides failed. I¡¯ve already said that the bet is invalid.¡± At this point, qu ya heaved a sigh of relief. Who knew that her casual words would actually help her? In the beginning, they were very sure that they would seed, but who knew that someone else would jump out and bite them. Chen zuolin, who originally didn¡¯t pay attention to this project, actually spoke up and didn¡¯t look for a partner. If it wasn¡¯t for this, he wouldn¡¯t have failed at thest step. ¡°You¡¯re right. We¡¯ve all failed. Moreover, President Chen from Hengyuan has given a death order. That woman won¡¯t seed either!¡± A hint of ruthlessness shed in Wen Qi¡¯s eyes. She was also certain that at most, neither side would seed. It was just that this matter could not be taken down, and it was still very repulsive. No matter how they racked their brains, they would never have guessed that the reason behind this was actually rted to Joes. ¡­¡­¡­ At that moment, Joes and Anna Chen were still at hundred Star Mall. It was already afternoon, and they had already had their meal at the restaurant inside the mall and bought their things. Joes and Anna Chen walked towards the door. Both of them were carrying bags of various sizes, all of which were items that they had just bought from the mall. ¡°Sisi, this is so satisfying. I haven¡¯t gone shopping with you in a long time.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s face was full of satisfaction. The shopping bags in her hands were mostly clothes. To a woman, clothes that had been worn once were old clothes that were not worthy of her. Chapter 345 - I’m calling the police

Chapter 345: I¡¯m calling the police

After hearing Chen Anna¡¯s words of satisfaction, Joes could not help butugh,¡±¡±Nonsense, isn¡¯t work the priority now? When our careers have stabilized, there will be more opportunities like this. ¡± Chen Anna was currently working hard to be the chief designer of herpany, and her career could be considered to be on the rise. It was the same for star dors. There were many things to deal with every day, and joesse was often overwhelmed with work. However, things had improved recently, and thepany had recruited many new employees. After the Department manager and some assistants got used to this model, they got used to their work much faster and the process was increasing. The two of them chatted and soon arrived at the door. Chen Anna lifted the bag with difficulty and looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already five in the afternoon. She took a deep breath and said,¡±sisi, it¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll go back first. See you next time.¡± ¡°Okay. By the way ... Why don¡¯t I give you a ride? it¡¯s not far anyway.¡± Joes suggested. It was only a few minutes ¡®drive at most, which was more convenient. However, to Joes ¡®surprise, Anna Chen actually rejected the suggestion. She looked a little guilty. ¡°It¡¯s fine, sisi. I¡¯ll just take a taxi back. I still have something to deal with when I get back, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± ...... After saying that, Chen Anna hurriedly waved her hand and called a taxi. She waved at Jossi and the car sped away, leaving behind a trail of ck exhaust. This series of actions left Jossipletely confused. ¡°What ... What happened? Or is it really as she said?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Joes mumbled softly. Her furrowed brows then rxed. If something serious had happened, Chen Anna would not be in this state. It shouldn¡¯t be anything urgent, he just didn¡¯t want her to know about it for the time being. After being together for so many years, he was still clear about this. At the thought of this, Jossi smiled helplessly. She found her car keys in her pocket and walked towards the parking lot. Seeing that she was about to leave, the figure behind her quickly followed. Not long after, they arrived at the parking lot. Arriving at the car, Joes opened the trunk and ced all the shopping bags in her hands before walking to the driver¡¯s seat. The next second after she opened the car door, a hand mmed on the table. Unexpectedly, Joes was not surprised. Instead, a faint smile appeared on her face. He looked over and saw a familiar person teasing Liu Yun. She was wearing a slightly yellowed dress. Her already mean face, coupled with her current expression, made her look like a vicious stepmother. However, she did not take much care of Jossi. Now that she had left the Qiao family, she could not even be considered a stepmother. Ha ... Joes looked at Liu Yun¡¯s hand that was ced on the car andughed coldly in her heart. It was a good thing that she had already noticed that something was wrong. From the looks of it, Liu Yun had been following her since she left the house. ¡°Take your hand off.¡± Liu Yun felt as if the air around her had dropped when she heard his cold voice. She could not help but swallow her saliva. She looked at the bright and beautiful Joes, and then at herself, who was wearing old and tattered clothes. The two formed a sharp contrast. Under such a stark contrast, Liu Yun¡¯s heart was filled with anger, and she felt that it was unfair. The fear she had earlier had disappearedpletely. ¡°How can you talk to me like that? I¡¯m your stepmother, what¡¯s wrong with putting my hand on your car?¡± Liu Yun shouted like a Shrew. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t many people near the parking lot at this time. Otherwise, they would have been attracted here. After hearing her words, joesse¡¯s brows furrowed even more and she squinted her eyes.¡±If you don¡¯t take it away, you¡¯ll have to bear the consequences.¡± She wasn¡¯t someone who could be easily bullied! Liu Yun¡¯s heart trembled when she saw the cold look in Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes. She did not know why, but she did not think that this B * tch was joking. Fear was still a little stronger, so she could only withdraw her hand. However, he was still very arrogant and did not change at all. ¡°You brat, I¡¯m telling you, be more polite to me. You¡¯re responsible for our expenses. It just so happens that ... My family has encountered some difficulties recently. Give me 300000 Yuan quickly, I¡¯ll take it back to save the day. ¡± As she spoke, Liu Yun extended her hand. While the Qiao family was discussing how to repay their debts, Liu Yun had thought of asking for money from Qiao si si. Now that Xing Yuan designs was very popr, she thought that as the president, joesse would definitely be able to earn a lot of money. Wasn¡¯t it the same reason why he didn¡¯t choose to sever their rtionship in courtst time? It was all so that he could use the responsibility of providing for her to suppress joesse, so that he could squeeze money out of her when he needed it. It was a pity that Joes had already guessed this and was not afraid. A momentter, joesse shot her a nce. With her arm on the car door, she said nonchntly,¡±¡±I was wondering what happened to you, so you¡¯re still sleeping?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yun did not react immediately and stood rooted to the ground. This brat ... She was saying that she was delusional and daydreaming! Liu Yun red at her furiously. By the time she could react, Joes had already gotten into the car without any hesitation and was about to close the door. ¡°Don¡¯t leave!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s shrill voice rang out as she held the car door tightly, refusing to let joesse close it. If he let this B * tch run away, how was he going to pay off his family¡¯s debts? he couldn¡¯t really sell the house. Liu Yun still wanted to keep the house for Qiao Lei¡¯s future wife. If Qiao sisi were to find out about his thoughts, she would probablyugh at him. With Qiao Lei¡¯s personality, it would be good enough if he did not spend the rest of his life in prison! Liu Yun red at joesse, but she remained expressionless and let go of the car door. She sat on the soft chair and raised her eyebrows. She stared at Liu Yun and asked,¡±Or I¡¯ll leave? Then I¡¯m going to call the police. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Jossi was already used to her stepmother¡¯s re. She took out her phone from her pocket and waved it in front of her. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? wasn¡¯t I the one who took you to court thest time? Or is it that you¡¯re living toofortably now, so you¡¯re here to find something to do?¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes¡¯s tone turned sharp as she shot a knife-like gaze at Liu Yun. In an instant, her movements froze. She didn¡¯t dare to move under his gaze. Liu Yun was unwilling to admit that she was actually stunned by joesse¡¯s gaze. In fact, there was even a trace of fear in her eyes. Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Do you still need a reason?

After all, Joes had studied abroad for a year and had seen a lot of the world. She was now in the business of star Yuan design. He had the aptitude and the experience. Liu Yun was just a person with very limited vision. In front of someone like Joes, who had been through a lot, she would not even be able tost a few moves. Taking advantage of Liu Yun¡¯sck of movement, Jossi closed the car door with a cold expression and a ¡®bang!¡¯. A sound. ¡°Jossi, you B * tch!¡± Liu Yun retracted her hand in shock and patted her chest in relief. If she hadn¡¯t pulled her hand back in time, she would have been caught by the car door. Upon hearing the exasperated voice, Jossi, who was sitting in the car, rolled down a quarter of the window and sneered. ¡°I¡¯ve warned you not to provoke me!¡± ¡°Boom Boom!¡± After saying that, Joes¡¯s expression returned to normal, and she was about to start the car and leave. Seeing this, Liu Yun¡¯s expression turned urgent. She pressed her hands on the car window and said,¡±Wait! Don¡¯t go yet, I have something to say!¡± Jossi had more or less guessed the purpose of her visit. After all, she was the one who had asked detective Wen to push the matter. ...... However, she did not expect Liu Yun to be so bold and shameless that she even had the mood to look for her. Suppressing her thoughts, Joes looked straight ahead without any intention of stopping. ¡°Sisi, just take it that I was wrong. This ... Xiao Lei owes us 300000 Yuan. You¡¯re rich now, so this money is definitely nothing to you. Just help Xiao Lei!¡± Seeing that Joes was about to leave, Liu Yun¡¯s arrogant and domineering attitude changed. Instead, she began to beg her in a low voice. As for how much sincerity there was in it, no one knew. ¡°His debt has nothing to do with me,¡± Joes¡¯s lips curved into a smile. She stepped on the elerator and the car sped off into the middle of the road. He quickly disappeared from sight. Everything happened so quickly that even if Liu Yun wanted to give chase, she could only chase after the car. ¡°Sisi! Jossi, you B * tch!¡± Liu Yun tried to run a few steps, but she could not catch up to the car¡¯s speed. She could only stop, panting heavily. The expression on his face was ruthless, and his mouth could be said to be spewing out all kinds of nasty words. He even cursed Joes ¡® 18 generations of ancestors. ¡°The heavens are really blind. They let you strike it rich. Pfft!¡± Liu Yun spat on the ground in the direction of the car and was seen by a passerby. The passerby¡¯s mouth twitched, and he kindly reminded,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, spitting is not allowed here. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! Don¡¯t meddle in my business!¡± As if she had found an outlet to vent her anger, Liu Yun red at the passerby. Her fierce gaze made him take a step back. ¡°You ... You¡¯re destroying the environment. This kind of behavior is too vile!¡± The passerby did not dare to provoke such ady. After criticizing her, he left in a hurry, not caring about Liu Yun, who was cursing behind his back. Liu Yun stood in the parking lot and cursed for a long time. She even attracted the attention of many people, and some people even secretly took videos. However, these people who filmed the video were all scolded by her. These people did not hold back and scolded back. In the end, Liu Yun returned to the Qiao family¡¯s residence with a face full of injuries. She immediately started a fight with the passersby. The recorded video was also uploaded to the inte, causing a frenzy. Coincidentally, Jossi happened to see the video. Looking at the video on her phone and the endless scolding, Joes could not help butugh. It seemed that he had left too early and missed a good show. After watching the video for a while and finishing her dinner, joesse ran to the study room and started preparing the proposal for Chen zuolin. They had already agreed in the afternoon, so it should not be a problem for that clothing store to import star Yuan jewelry. This way, it was a win-win situation. After going through everything in her mind, Joes picked up her pen and started writing, asionally tapping on theputer. His slender fingers were moving on the keyboard, and each time he pressed a key, there would be a rhythmic sound. After about an hour, the rough outline of the cooperation n was finally formed. ¡°Phew ...¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief and read through the proposal from beginning to end. She only felt slightly relieved after she found that there were no problems. ¡°If there¡¯s no problem with this proposal, it shouldn¡¯t take much time. At most, it will take a week to start. Besides, thepany has tounch their own exclusive jewelry during this time. Only then will it be in line with the name of jewelry design. ¡± Joes thought to herself as her gaze fell on the design drafts on the table. It was the ¡°deep sea¡± series that she had previously designed. Even now, she still felt that it was a good design. At least, as thepany¡¯s exclusive jewelry, there was absolutely no problem. ¡°It¡¯s decided then!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to retrieve the design drafts, she heard the doorbell ring. Who woulde to her at this time? Even though she had her doubts, Joes did not think too much about it and quickly got up to open the door. After opening the door, a God-given handsome face and a pair of eyes as deep as vortexes entered her eyes. The man was dressed in a ck, hand-tailored suit. The top two buttons on his chest were unbuttoned, which made him look even more seductive. He had an extraordinary temperament and exuded a noble aura from head to toe. With just a single nce, he had snatched away all of Joes¡¯s attention. Who else could it be other than Zheng Zeyi? ¡°Zeyi? What are you doing here?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened, her tone filled with shock. After she nced at Zheng Zeyi, her gaze fell on the ck shopping bag in his hand. There was no way to see what was inside the bag, but joesse could clearly see the logo on the bag. It was a very famous luxury brand that covered a variety of things, such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, and so on. This was ... Joes pursed her lips slightly. ¡°Do I need a reason toe and see my girlfriend?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up. He entered the room very naturally and closed the door, as if he was in his own home. After hearing this, Joes choked for a moment. Her face turned red and she could not help but smile helplessly. She really had no way to refute that. Now that they were a couple, there was no need for her to find a reason to see her. Zheng ze sat on the soft sofa with a nonchnt look in his eyes. He ced the bag on the floor beside him. Chapter 347

Chapter 347: Take a look at my girlfriend¡¯s design drafts

¡°What do you want to drink?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll drink whatever you like. ¡± Joes stopped in her tracks, pursed her lips, and went to the table in the living room to pour him a cup of coffee. The coffee exuded a strong aroma and she brought it to Zheng Zeyi. He took a sip of the coffee, and the curve of his lips widened. The air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. Joes could not help but touch her ears in an attempt to hide her embarrassment. She kept feeling that her face was burning. ¡°This is my gift to you.¡± Zheng ze fixed his eyes on joesse with a serious expression. He ced the exquisite shopping bag in front of her. He didn¡¯t wait for her to take it herself, but took out a small ck gift box from the inside. There was a golden ribbon tied into a bow. He looked extremely adorable, but joesse¡¯s heart trembled when she saw him. She was in the jewelry industry, so she was naturally very familiar with this kind of packaging. It was almost impossible for her to mistake it. This was the Suan ni ring! ¡°Wait ...¡± ...... Without waiting for Qiao si to finish her sentence, Zheng Zeyi revealed a devilish smile and opened the box in his hand. Inside the box, there was a beautiful ring. The diamond at the top was the most dazzling. Under the soft light of the living room, it was glittering and translucent, so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off it. The design was simple and elegant. It could be seen that Zheng Zeyi had seriously considered it when he was choosing. It was so beautiful ... At that moment, that was the only thought in Joes¡¯s mind. She had forgotten everything she had said and was staring at the ring in a daze. After a long time, Zheng Zeyi interrupted her deep thoughts.¡±¡±What do you think?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes revealed a sweet smile and nodded her head without hesitation. She praised,¡±¡±Very beautiful! You have a good eye. ¡± ¡°Then you should know why I bought this ring, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi smirked. It was also at this moment that he came closer with the ring on his finger. His hot breath blew onto joesse¡¯s earlobe, causing her entire body to freeze. She was not a fool. Of course, she knew why Zheng Zeyi had bought this ring. However, the two of them had just be a couple not long ago. Wouldn¡¯t it be too soon to buy a ring now? ¡°I¡¯m not sure about this. ¡± Joesse said guiltily as she touched her earlobe. Just as she was about to move away, Zheng Zeyi suddenly grabbed her wrist. ¡°Answer me directly.¡± His thin lips moved and spat out four words. His gaze followed Joes closely, causing her to stop in her tracks. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly. ¡°Zeyi, we¡¯ve only been together for a short while and you¡¯re already giving me a ring. It¡¯s not even the time for our engagement yet. I think it¡¯s a little too fast. Why don¡¯t we slow down a little?¡± Joes blinked her eyes yfully, but she was not joking. She meant it. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi understood her and did not force her. Instead, he stuffed the gift box with the ring into her hands. ¡°I can understand what you¡¯re thinking,¡± He smiled.¡±But you have to keep it. This is my condition. So, do you agree?¡± ¡°You¡¯re asking when you already know the answer,¡± The corners of Qiao SI¡¯s lips lifted slightly. She had already rejected the idea of wearing the ring. Now that Zheng Zeyi had taken a step back, she naturally would not reject it. She knew very well that the ring was from a famous brand. The conditions for buying a ring from such a luxury brand were very demanding. Even Zheng Zeyi, the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, could not avoid it. Because this brand had relied on this rule to be famous until now. It was also a promise to the one they loved. One needed an ID card to buy a ring in this brand store, and one ID card could only have One Ring under it. This was the rule, and also a promise in disguise. Looking at the clear logo on the gift box, many thoughts came to joesse¡¯s mind. Her eyes could not help but look a little dazed as she stroked it gently with her fingers. Zheng Zeyi was much more serious than she had imagined. However, it was a good thing. Joes smiled brightly,¡±¡±Thank you, I really like this gift.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you like it,¡± Zheng ze reached out and touched her hair. His actions were extremely gentle, and it made her heart tremble. This person suddenly became gentle, and it was really a little unbearable. ¡®Thought Qiao si, but she still felt a tinge of sweetness. She quietly raised her head and nced at Zheng Zeyi. It only returned to normal after a while. ¡°So, you came here today just to give me this?¡± Joes pointed at the gift box in her hands. She didn¡¯t show anything on her face, but in fact, she attached great importance to it and especially liked this gift. ¡°What else do you want me to do?¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as a glint shed across his eyes. Jossi¡¯s intuition told her that he was not thinking of anything good. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. By the way ... Let me show you my design draft. I¡¯m going to make it the top jewelry in Xing Yuan.¡± Joes changed the topic to the design drafts for the ¡°deep sea¡± series of jewelry and took out the design drafts from the study room. The drafts had been polished, and what was left was a perfect set of jewelry designs, which was also the dream of all women. Joes ced the design draft in front of Zheng Zeyi expectantly, anticipating his evaluation. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll take a look at my girlfriend¡¯s design drafts.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled and took the design draft to read it seriously. From the beginning to the end, it waspletely different from the devilish charm he had earlier. After he finished reading the design drafts, Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips slightly and his smile deepened. ¡°Not bad.¡± It was a very short word, but Joes felt a great joy and pride. Zheng Zeyi usually did not praise people casually. Even if she was his girlfriend, he would not speak against his conscience. In that case, this design draft was really good in his eyes. At the thought of this, Joes could not help but smile, her eyes curving into crescents. ¡°This design draft is indeed more than enough to be used for the top jewelry.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not deny this. But after that, he listed a few rted questions. ¡°But just one set won¡¯t do. You canunch the publicity first. With your ability, there¡¯s no problem with top-grade jewelry. First, use this ¡®deep sea¡¯ series to make a name for yourself and be a top jewelry designer. This way, your Design Foundation will be even higher in the future. ¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled as he finished his sentence. Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Really too good at flirting

He had always been thinking from Jossi¡¯s point of view, and she was very clear about this. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si came to a sudden realization and nodded her head heavily.¡±Understood!¡± As expected, listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. Initially, joesse wanted to continue the discussion on this matter, but she suddenly heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. ¡°There¡¯s actually another reason why I¡¯m looking for you today. ¡± His maic voice reverberated in the living room, and even joesse was slightly taken aback. It was so gentle ... She adjusted her expression and pretended to clear her throat. She coughed a few times and asked,¡±¡±What is it? just tell me.¡± Joes did not expect Zheng ze to say something so shocking. ¡°I¡¯m leaving tomorrow and I haven¡¯t packed my luggage yet, so I want to ask my girlfriend for help. ¡± Zheng ze kept his eyes on Jossi. Packing? As soon as she finished speaking, Jossi looked up and met those ambiguous eyes. She quickly lowered her head and did not look at him. ¡°So, you want me to help you pack your luggage, right?¡± ...... Towards the end, Jossi felt a little helpless, but she could not help but smile. Now, it felt more like a rtionship between a couple. ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded without hesitation, his gaze fixed on her red lips. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll help you tidy up,¡±she agreed after a while. Even Zheng Zeyi took a second look at her when she agreed so quickly. He could not help but touch her hair. Her actions were very gentle, but joesse¡¯s hair was inevitably a little messy. After that, the two of them arrived at the apartment opposite. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment was very clean and tidy. The decorations were also very simple, and most of the designs were ck and white. Joes had stayed in this apartment for a long time, so she naturally knew about it. When she arrived at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bedroom, Qiao si opened the wardrobe and saw the suits that were neatly hung inside. Each set was in a different style, but there were not many colors, because he preferred ck and gray. That was why she didn¡¯t wear many suits of other colors. Other than the formal wear, Jossi also opened the wardrobe at the side. It was filled with daily casual wear. It had to be said that Zheng Zeyi really had good taste and was dressed in excellent clothes. Just as she was thinking about what clothes she should prepare, Zheng Zeyi appeared in the bedroom without her knowing. He leaned against the door and looked at Joes ¡®contemtive expression with interest. Zheng Zeyiughed and said,¡±¡±Then, my girlfriend, I¡¯ll leave the luggage to you.¡± His words broke Jossi¡¯s train of thought. After hearing this, Joes raised her eyes and nodded slightly.¡±Alright, leave the luggage to me.¡± With that, Zheng Zeyi left the bedroom and walked towards the living room. Joes did not mind what he was doing. She took out three suits that she thought were suitable from the suit cab. The two sets were ck, but the design waspletely different, and people could tell the difference at a nce. But at the same time, these two suits were both high-end custom-made, and it was difficult to buy them even if you had money. The other suit was a grey suit. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s figure and appearance determined that he was suitable for any kind of clothing. ¡°Very good. Finally ... I¡¯ll be wearing casual wear.¡± After folding the three suits neatly and cing them in her luggage, Jossi¡¯s gaze fell on the wardrobe of casual clothes. After some careful consideration, she picked out a few sets and put them in her suitcase. It could be said that he had spent a lot of effort. What was left were undergarments and some daily necessities. While choosing, Qiao SI¡¯s face was blushed and it did not fade. She could not help but look at Zheng Zeyi who was outside. Isn¡¯t this model a little bad? ¡°Cough, cough, what are you thinking about?¡± Joes criticized herself in her heart, and only heaved a sigh of relief after she had tidied up everything. Putting everything else aside, just tidying up her essential pants really made Jossi feel a little embarrassed. After putting everything in her luggage, Jossi ced the luggage aside and walked out of the living room. What she did not know was that Zheng Zeyi had never needed to pack his own luggage when he went on business trips. It was basically the assistant who was in charge of tidying up and bringing them out when the time came. He didn¡¯t need to do this kind of thing. However, things were different now that he had a girlfriend. For now, Qiao si did not know that Zheng Zeyi was trying to make his presence known. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared your luggage for you. The daily necessities have also been packed in. When you need to use it, just open the box on top. There shouldn¡¯t be anything missing. ¡± Joes gave him a series of detailed instructions and told him the rough location of the item. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes flickered when he heard that. In the end, all of them turned into a softugh.¡±Alright,¡± he said. The two of them were very close, only two hands apart. Joes did not know how she ended up in this position after sitting in the living room for a while. Her heart started to race uncontrobly. The living room was filled with a flirtatious atmosphere, as if pink bubbles were floating in the air. ¡°You ...¡± As the surroundings were too quiet, Joes broke the silence. However, just as she said the word ¡°you,¡± she didn¡¯t know what to say next, so she seemed a little helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. ¡± Zheng Zeyi seemed to know what she was thinking. After he said those three words, Qiao si fell silent and did not move. Then, he moved closer to Joes ¡®ear and whispered,¡±¡±Remember to wait for my return.¡± ¡°...Alright.¡± After Joes came back to her senses, she lowered her eyes slightly and the sweetness in her heart intensified. If it was the her from a year ago, she would never have thought that she would be together with Zheng Zeyi in just a year. This was something that she did not even dare to think about at that time. Moreover, Qiao sisi had just met a scumbag at that time and did not trust anyone. However, it was undeniable that Zheng Zeyi had a special ce in her heart. ¡°Be obedient.¡± After Zheng Zeyi said those two words ambiguously, he ced his thin lips on Qiao SI¡¯s forehead. The warm touch lingered for a moment before it left reluctantly. Qiao si si felt her heart go numb, she did not even dare to look up at Zheng Zeyi. This President ... Was too good at flirting! After a moment of silence, joesse swallowed her saliva and quickly said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already helped you pack your luggage, so I¡¯ll be leaving first. It¡¯s gettingte, you should rest early. You have to get up early to go to the airport tomorrow. ¡± Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Not grateful at all

Seeing how eager Qiao Si was, Zheng ze smiled and agreed. ¡°Okay, I got it. You should go back now.¡± Joes felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. After giving her a few more reminders, she was finally at ease and left the apartment in a hurry. However, she didn¡¯t notice the gaze behind her. Zheng ze leaned back on the soft sofa and looked at Joes¡¯s back as she left. His eyes were glimmering. The smile at the corner of his mouth had a hint of evil charm. His slender fingers gently rubbed his thin lips. The way he looked at Joes was as if he was staring at a small white Rabbit. He seemed to be thinking about how he should eat this delicious white Rabbit. On the other side, Jossi hurried back to the apartment, closed the door, and returned to her bedroom. Lying on the bed, she couldn¡¯t help but bury herself in the nket. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, can you control your charm? I can¡¯t stand it if you keep doing this!¡± Joes¡¯s voice was filled with resentment. She stayed in the nket for a while beforeing out to take in some fresh air. However, Zheng Zeyi was going on a business trip tomorrow. When she thought about it this way, she felt that these actions were eptable. ...... Patting her head, Joes felt a little helpless about her own thoughts. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go to sleep.¡± Joes mumbled softly and immediately covered herself with the nket. She turned over andy on the bed, preparing to sleep. Since he had already sent the tentative n to Chen zuolin, there wasn¡¯t much to do at the moment. Soon, she entered Dreand. However, the situation at the Qiao family¡¯s side was not good. ¡­¡­¡­ In the old house of the Qiao family. It was already veryte when Liu Yun arrived home. There were still a few scratch marks on her face, and it was obvious that she had been beaten up. She sat on the sofa and applied the ointment on her face. She gasped from time to time as she listened to the nagging of the others in the family. Qiao Feng sat at the side and lit a cigarette. After blowing out a smoke ring, he asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on?¡± Liu Yun lowered her head guiltily and did not answer immediately. After all, she was the one who went to look for Joes. Not only was she beaten up, but she also did not get the money. Liu Yun was embarrassed to say such things. However, it was naturally impossible to hide it. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at the wound on Liu Yun¡¯s face and was speechless.¡±¡±Mom, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, why did you suddenly get beaten up?¡± The one who spoke was Qiao Lei. Liu Yun swallowed her saliva as she felt their intense gazes on her. She could not help but feel a little irritated. ¡°It¡¯s all because of that B * tch Joes!¡±She said, waving her hand. Her tone was filled with deep hatred. If Joes had not refused to help, she would not have ended up in this state. Hearing this, Qiao Feng did not even bother to smoke his cigarette. He frowned.¡±¡±What did she say when you went to look for her today?¡± ¡°Mom, you¡¯re here to ask for money from Jossi, right? did she give it to you in the end?¡± The other person who was extremely anxious was Qiao Lei. No matter what, the one in debt was Qiao Lei, and boss long and his group had already said it. If he couldn¡¯t pay the debt within a week, he would have to cut off Qiao Lei¡¯s finger to pay the debt. Although his finger was not worth 300000, this was the show of power that boss long and the others had given him, and it would not change in the slightest. How could Qiao Lei not panic? Only Zhao Hai ¡®er was silent. She stood to the side without saying a word. She had a better understanding of the situation. Liu Yun gritted her teeth and told him everything that had happened in the afternoon,¡±¡±That B * tch joesse, how could she give us money? I went to look for her, but she just drove the car away and said that she would never give us the money. She said that I was dreaming!¡± At the end of her sentence, Liu Yun¡¯s face was red with anger. She wanted to look for Joes and give her a tight p. Unfortunately, Liu Yun was the one who was embarrassed in the end. Even the video of the fight was not recorded by passers-by and uploaded to the inte. When Qiao Feng¡¯s family was sued by Qiao sisi in court, they had already gained quite a reputation. Now that Liu Yun had doubled her poprity, she was indeed a talent. ¡°That child ... She¡¯s not someone to be trifled with. We should have agreed to sever ties with her in court, or we would¡¯ve had to give her money. Besides, she even put Yang Yue Yue in prison. If we go and provoke her, she might not do anything if she doesn¡¯t show us any mercy. ¡± As he said that, Qiao Feng furrowed his brows, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and threw it on the ground. But now, it was toote to regret. In Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes, Qiao sisi was no different from a ferocious beast. ¡°That¡¯s a little bitch! You think you¡¯re so great just because you have a bit of money? you¡¯re even trying to make things difficult for us!¡± Liu Yun said ruthlessly. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of hatred. She was not the only one. Everyone in the Qiao family hated Joes and wanted to squeeze everyst drop of value from her. However, what they did not expect was that after such a short period of time, Joes was no longer someone they could swindle out of. He had be the CEO of the business world and owned apany. Liu Yun couldn¡¯t stop scolding him, and Qiao Lei¡¯s face darkened as he clenched his fists. ¡°Alright, mom! Don¡¯t say it yet!¡± Following Qiao Lei¡¯s shout, Liu Yun had no choice but to stop. However, her face was still filled with anger. Today, she had really embarrassed herself. It was just that she hadn¡¯t seen the videos on the inte. Otherwise, she would probably be fuming. After a moment of silence, Qiao Lei took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Feng,¡±¡±Dad, now that things havee to this, there¡¯s no other way.¡± His meaning was also very obvious. Now, the only way to survive was to sell the house to pay off the debt. Qiao Feng lit another cigarette and sighed.¡±¡±Dad knows. This is the only way now.¡± After listening for a while, Liu Yun finally realized that they were talking about selling the house in town. Liu Yun was about to rebut, but when she thought about Jossi¡¯s attitude, she had no other way to get the money. In the end, he could only remain silent and not say a word. ¡°Mom, Joss...Really won¡¯t relent at all?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er suddenly asked. Liu Yun didn¡¯t think too much about it and said angrily,¡±Not only did she refuse to give in, but looking at her face, it would be strange if she really gave us the money. In my opinion, this kind of shameless B * tch should have been thrown away when she was young. We raised her until now, but in the end, we raised an ungrateful wretch who doesn¡¯t know how to be grateful at all!¡± Chapter 350 - Who’s the ungrateful one?

Chapter 350: Who¡¯s the ungrateful one?

Liu Yun spoke one sentence after another, as if scolding him like this was the only way to make her feel better. However, she did not think about the fact that Qiao sisi had been taken away from the Qiao family by Madam Qiao when she was young. At that time, she was pregnant with Qiao Lei and she was so arrogant. Qiao Feng also chased his wife away without hesitation. At that time, Madam Qiao could not take anything with her, only a little savings. In the end, however, Joes was the one who raised her and did not go astray. However, she was also seriously ill and passed away not long after. Based on this experience, it was impossible for Joes to help them pay off their debts. Otherwise, she would be crazy. ¡°That B * tch is really scary. Mom ... Let¡¯s not mess with her. I don¡¯t want to go to jail like Yang Yue Yue.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er furrowed her brows. When she mentioned yang Yueyue, it was like a warning to everyone. Joes was no longer someone to be bullied. If she went overboard, sending her to jail ... It wasn¡¯t like she couldn¡¯t do it! ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Qiao Feng was silent for a while, but he agreed with Zhao Hai ¡®er. When they heard that Yang Yue Yue was imprisoned, other than gloating over her misfortune, they were also shocked. They did not expect that Joes would be so ruthless as to destroy the rest of her life. ...... One must know that Yang Yue Yue was an omnipotent existence in their hearts, the youngdy of the Yang family. In the end, this image was shattered not long after. They did not even realize that a trace of fear towards Joes had emerged in their hearts. On this topic, Qiao Feng and the others did not discuss it for long. They instinctively rejected and resisted it. ¡°I¡¯ll book a train ticket and go back tomorrow. I¡¯ll sell the house in my hometown to pay off Xiao Lei¡¯s debt. If nothing goes wrong, I should still have some left. Yang Yue Yue has paid a lot of rent for this apartment. We can¡¯t just waste it like this. When the timees, we¡¯ll take our savings and live in city H. ¡± Qiao Feng took a puff of his cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring. He also had some ideas about his future after paying off his debt. ¡°A big city is good. If Xiao Lei is here, he will have better prospects.¡± After hearing Qiao Feng¡¯s words, Liu Yun began to think. It was better to stay in the big city than in the small broken ce at home. Not to mention anything else, vision was a problem. Furthermore, if she was here ... There would be more opportunities. She did not believe that the B * tch Joes would not have any enemies. One day, she would get her revenge. Liu Yun could not take this lying down, but she did not dare to tell Qiao Feng and the rest about this. She could only think about it in her heart. Qiao Lei also gave an insincere guarantee.¡±¡±Dad, mom, don¡¯t worry. After I pay back the money, I promise I won¡¯t gamble again. I¡¯ll find a good job in city h and take care of you two when you¡¯re old!¡± There was not much credibility in these words, but Liu Yun and Qiao Feng were happy to hear that their son had be sessful. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know that, son ... The family will be counting on you in the future,¡±they praised. Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but stand up and say,¡±¡±I¡¯ll go back to my room first. ¡± After saying that, he turned around and returned to his room, leaving only his back view. Qiao Lei nced in the direction she left and pouted. He said with some disdain,¡±¡±What kind of person is she? people who don¡¯t know her would think that she¡¯s some rich family¡¯s daughter.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, Lei. Hai ¡®er is just like that. She¡¯ll get married sooner orter. You don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡± Liu Yun patted Qiao Lei¡¯s shoulder, hinting to him not to mind. The meaning of his words was clear. He did not see Zhao Hai ¡®er as a part of the family. Qiao Lei was the one who wanted to carry on the family line. Zhao Hai ¡®er was not important at all. After sitting in the old living room for a while, Qiao Feng had smoked a few cigarettes in a row and even his head was a little dizzy. He sighed and got up to go back to his room to rest. He said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going out tomorrow morning too. Get up early to prepare breakfast.¡± Upon hearing those words, Liu Yun could not help but fall into deep thought. With the answer, she asked doubtfully, her voice a little sharp,¡±¡±There¡¯s no work at the construction site tomorrow, right? And you have to buy a ticket to go back. Where are you going?¡± Her tone was filled with emotions that she didn¡¯t even notice herself, and there was also a faint panic. Liu Yun also found out from Qiao Feng that something had happened at the construction site recently, so they had to stop work for a few days. Otherwise, Qiao Feng would not have said that he would go back to town to sell the house tomorrow. The sharp voice echoed in the living room. Qiao Feng stopped but did not turn back. He said directly,¡±¡±You don¡¯t need to worry about the construction site.¡± ¡°...Alright.¡± Since Qiao Feng had already said so, Liu Yun did not want to continue pestering him. She did not think of any other points. There were still many things to deal with if he were to settle down in city h in the future. A vicious glint shed across Liu Yun¡¯s eyes. It would only be interesting when she found the enemy who was working together with her to deal with joesse. She didn¡¯t want to let go of this piece of meat! In just one night, Joes did not expect the Qiao family to make a decision so quickly. Furthermore, many clues about the Qiao family had already begun to surface. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day. The warm sunlight shone on the ground, marking the beginning of a new day. Even the gentle breeze carried a hint of warmth. Joes had woken up early and changed into a tight-fitting dress. The waist-tie design brought out her perfect waistline very well, and with the beige color tone, it made her entire person look extraordinary. After looking at herself in the mirror for a while and making sure that there was no problem, Joes went to have breakfast. She had woken up so early today to send Zheng Zeyi to the airport. Today was the day he was going on a business trip, and Joes had specially promised to send him off. The flight was in about an hour¡¯s time, and it was a private ne. Zheng Zeyi could have postponed it, but joesse felt that it was better for her to wake up earlier. ¡°Buzz.¡± At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly began to vibrate with a melodious ringtone. She had just set it up, and it was her first time using this ringtone to answer a call. Joes was drinking milk and was shocked by the sudden ringing of the phone. She choked on the milk. ¡°Cough cough ...¡± Joes coughed as she patted her chest. She only stopped after a while, but her face was flushed red. After she calmed down, she picked up the phone andined,¡±¡±Anna, do you know that you almost choked me to death just now?¡± Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Help me open it and feed me

¡°What¡¯s going on? did I pick a bad time to call? hahaha, don¡¯t mind me, sisi!¡± There was an awkwardugh from the other end of the phone. That¡¯s right, the caller was Anna Chen. She had also called Joes immediately. After a few casual words, Joes raised her eyebrows slightly and cut to the chase,¡±¡±You¡¯re calling me so early today. Is there something you want to tell me?¡± ¡°Binguo!¡± Anna Chen snapped her fingers, confirming Joes¡¯s guess. After all, she knew her best friend well. As long as it wasn¡¯t during work hours, she would usually wake up in the afternoon and never in the morning. There must be a reason for his abnormal behavior today. ¡°Sisi, I was also woken up by a phone call this morning. I thought it was a harassment call and was about to hang up, but I picked it up in a daze this morning. Guess who¡¯s calling me, you¡¯ll never guess!¡± Chen Anna¡¯s tone was a little excited at the end. Jossi thought about what had happened in the past few days and quickly came to a conclusion. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she asked,¡±¡±Are they qu ya and Wen Ling?¡± ...... Thinking about it, only these two people would call Chen Anna, and her tone would be excited and expectant. He wasn¡¯t looking forward to them, but he was looking forward to the bet where he could p them in the face on the spot. The phone fell into a brief silence as soon as Joes finished her sentence. Anna Chen controlled the urge to roll her eyes and remained silent. After a long time, she finally said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not interesting at all. You guessed it so easily. ¡± Jossi was also amused by this funny friend of hers. She chuckled and asked,¡±¡±Tell me, what did she say to you this morning?¡± Joes was still very curious about this. If she was not mistaken, it was about the bet. Her guess was right. Soon, Chen Anna exined to her what had happened just now. It turned out that qu ya and Chen Anna had somehow gotten Chen Anna¡¯s phone number and had called them in the morning to ask them out to a coffee shop. It was indeed about the bet. Chen Anna was naturally excited. On the other hand, Joes had already contacted the CEO of Hengyuan investment, Chen zuolin. That also meant that qu ya and her partner had no hope at all, and they had to buy this expensive dress. When she saw their sullen faces, Chen Anna would feel relieved. ¡°You were so arrogant in the clothing store. If you find outter, you¡¯ll probably be pped in the face.¡± Chen Anna said with a smile. Upon hearing this, joesseughed,¡±¡±When is the time?¡± ¡°In the afternoon.¡± With this answer, joesse nodded her head slightly. Coincidentally, she had to send Zheng Zeyi to the airport in the morning. ¡°That¡¯s good. I have something to do in the morning. I¡¯ll pick you up in the afternoon, and then we¡¯ll go to the coffee shop. How about it?¡± On the other end of the phone, Anna Chen made an ¡°ok¡± gesture, indicating that there was no problem. ¡°I¡¯m assured that you¡¯ll handle it. I¡¯ll wait for you at home then.¡± After the two of them greeted each other, Jossi hung up the phone and ced it in her pocket. There were still two sandwiches left on the table, which she had specially prepared when she woke up early. ¡°Will Zheng ze eatter?¡± Jossi mumbled to herself as she ced the two sandwiches into a thermal container. After confirming that there were no problems, she took the thermal container and left. Crack ... Crack ... The door of the apartment was opened. Joesse was stunned the moment she opened the door, because she realized that Zheng Zeyi had alsoe out at this time. The two of them opened the door at the same time, as if they had made an appointment. After she regained her senses, Qiao si blinked her eyes and met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep eyes, as well as the faint smile on his face. ¡°Why did youe out just in time?¡± A faint smile appeared on her face, and she slightly lowered her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s fate,¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips moved as he spat out those two words. He took a few steps closer to joesse, and a minty fragrance assailed his nose. Qiao si often smelled this scent on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s body. She chuckled and waved the thermal container in her hand. ¡°This is your breakfast. It¡¯s nothing special. I¡¯ve prepared two sandwiches. Do you want them?¡± She had just finished speaking when Zheng Zeyi took the thermal lunch box from her.¡±¡±Of course.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go then, I¡¯ll send you to the airport now. ¡± The corners of Qiao SI¡¯s lips curled up into a naughty smile as she naturally hooked her arm around Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. The two of them were like a couple who were passionately in love. Her sudden action stunned Zheng Zeyi for a moment. However, he quickly reacted and a smile shed across his eyes. ¡°Then ... Let¡¯s go,¡± The two of them entered the elevator arm in arm, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. Joes¡¯s face turned slightly red as she suppressed the numb feeling. Very quickly, the elevator reached the first floor and the two of them walked out hand in hand. When she passed by the front desk, joesse felt that little red was looking at her strangely. ¡°Good Morning, miss Qiao, Mr. Zheng.¡± Xiaohong blinked a few times and greeted him respectfully. ¡°You too,¡± joesseughed. Zheng Zeyi nodded in response, then they left the blue sky Apartment. Only Xiao Hong¡¯s gaze was reluctant to leave, and it fell on the back of the two people. ¡°They are indeed a perfect match, I¡¯m so envious ...¡± She sighed slightly. She had to eat this delicious dog food even if she didn¡¯t want to. More importantly, she was still eating with great relish. Jossi, who had already left, did not know about little Red¡¯s thoughts. Zheng Zeyi started the car and drove to the airport of city H. Jossi was very familiar with this route. It would take at most half an hour¡¯s drive, including the obstacles on the road. It was the peak hour in the morning and also the time when there was a traffic jam. However, the situation was slightly better today, and there was no traffic jam on the road. Joes looked up and saw the endless stream of cars. ¡°Help me open it and feed me.¡± A maic voice suddenly sounded. Joes, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, quickly retracted her gaze, unable to believe what she had just heard. Did these words reallye out of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth? Joes was even suspecting if she was hearing things. She sneaked a nce at Zheng Zeyi and saw that he was driving very seriously, his well-defined hands on the steering wheel. As if he had sensed her gaze, Zheng Zeyi chuckled and nced at her indifferently. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chapter 352

Chapter 352: A strange emotion

Upon hearing this, Joes shrugged helplessly.¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just curious why you¡¯re talking like that,¡± ¡°That¡¯s normal, because you¡¯re my future wife. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up, his tone nonchnt. There was a hint of a smile in his words, which showed that he was in a good mood. Joesse was speechless. F * ck! Zheng Zeyi had really changed! She really couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. It was as if she had seen a ghost. She quickly looked away and fixed her gaze on the outside of the window. There was a long silence in the car, but Zheng Zeyi kept smiling. If he was not driving, he would not be so calm. After calming down a little, Joris heaved a sigh of relief.¡±Forget it, I¡¯ll feed you then.¡± After she finished speaking, she picked up the thermal lunch box and opened it. The aroma of food wafted out. The sandwich was still warm. Qiao si wrapped it in a tissue and brought it to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth. He did not hesitate and immediately took a bite. His thin lips sprayed on Qiao SI¡¯s fingers, causing her to feel as if she had been electrocuted. ¡°Bang, bang,¡± Joes¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air, the soft warmth still lingering on her fingertips. ...... Zheng Zeyi took another bite as if he did not notice. Under such an ambiguous atmosphere, the car finally stopped in the parking lot outside the airport after more than ten minutes. Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi alighted from the car at the same time. Thebination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman instantly attracted the attention of many people. ¡°Wow, he¡¯s so handsome! That girl is so pretty!¡± ¡°They¡¯re really a perfect match. As expected, good-looking people are ying with other good-looking people.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious. Such a group is really a match made in heaven. They¡¯re even more pleasing to the eye than celebrities.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The crowd¡¯s whispers continued to ring out and Jossi could hear quite a bit of it, but she did not care. As soon as she entered the airport, she saw assistant li. He was carrying a ck bag that was filled with a lot of things. When he saw joesse and Lin Li, he quickly walked over. ¡°President, you¡¯re finally here.¡± He revealed a smile. Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and asked,¡±¡±Have you prepared everything?¡± Assistant li patted his briefcase and said with confidence,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. Everything has been prepared. Everything¡¯s ready, only the east wind iscking. ¡± What they were talking about was the project that the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group attached great importance to this time, and there were some materials that they had to bring along. Listening to the conversation between the two of them, joesse thought for a moment. Now that she had already sent the person to the airport, it was almost time to board the ne. As she thought of this, she patted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back to draw his attention to her. ¡°Then be careful when you¡¯re outside. Your things are in the suitcase, understand?¡± There were still two blushes on her cheeks, and she was indeed a little embarrassed to not hide it in public with Zheng Zeyi. However,pared to when they first got together, this situation had improved a lot. After hearing her words, Zheng Zeyi patted joesse¡¯s head and said in a maic voice,¡±¡±Alright, I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± The sweet action of the two people caused a burst of exmations around them. Even assistant li swallowed his saliva and couldn¡¯t help but take a few steps back. His eyes were shining with shock. He had never seen such a gentle side of the president. Today, he had really learned something new. She could probably only see this side of the president in front of him. ¡°Alright, be careful on the road. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Joes pointed at the airport gate. ¡°Wait,¡± Before Joes could even react, her thin lips had already pressed against hers. He felt a soft touch. Joes¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at the handsome face in front of her, as well as the pair of smiling eyes. ¡°Wow!¡± The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, as if a pot had exploded. Many people secretly took out their phones to take pictures of this scene and upload them to the inte. After all, it was rare to see such an eye-catchingbination. The passionate kisssted for a long time, and Zheng Zeyi only let go of her when she was almost out of breath. A teasing voice sounded above her head,¡±¡±Sisi, you still need to practice more.¡± The meaning between the lines was very obvious. He was saying that even Joes did not have much experience. Even after so many times, she still did not know how to breathe. Her face was flushed red. She took a deep breath and red at Zheng Zeyi after she caught her breath. However, Joes did not realize how alluring her gaze was. ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving then. ¡± Zheng Zeyi ruffled the top of Qiao sisi¡¯s head again. He looked at his little wife, feeling a little reluctant to part with her. However, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brows rxed a little when he thought about how he would only be gone for a few days and would be back soon. ¡°Alright, go on then.¡± After Qiao si finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi and assistant li did not stay any longer and walked towards the exclusive passageway. If it was a private ne, then it had to have the grandeur of a private ne. As she watched the slender figure gradually disappear from her sight, for some reason, Joes felt a sense of loss. It was as if something was missing. ¡°I don¡¯t think so, I must be overthinking ...¡± Joes mumbled softly and shook her head to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind. How could she be disappointed just because Zheng ze was away for a few days? that was impossible. Qiao Si was firm in her decision. She only left the airport when Zheng Zeyi and assistant li were no longer in sight. She still remembered Chen Anna¡¯s words that she had to discuss the bet with qu ya in the afternoon. After getting into the car, joesse started the engine and picked up her phone to take a look. She happened to see Chen zuolin¡¯s reply. The general meaning was that he had already looked through the proposal that Joes had sent over and there were basically no problems. There were just some minor details that needed to be amended, and some other areas that needed to be discussed. This was not a big problem, but he woulde to star origin to talk to Joes personally. After reading the message, Jossi raised her eyebrows slightly and replied with an ¡°okay¡± before putting her phone aside. ¡°There¡¯s no problem on brother Chen¡¯s side. After meeting qu ya and Wen Ling this afternoon, the bet should be over. The charity auction in two weeks will also be the first time that star dors will appear, so we have to make good preparations. ¡± Joes thought to herself. She drove the car and arrived at Anna Chen¡¯s house in no time. She sent a text message to Chen Anna, who happened to be looking at her mobile phone. After receiving the text message, she quickly packed her things and ran down from upstairs. Chapter 353

Chapter 353: We all remember it clearly

¡°Sisi!¡± Chen Anna saw Joes¡¯s car from afar. After waving her hand, she jogged over. After getting into the car, Chen Anna closed the door and Joes started the car. Sisi, tell me the truth, what were you doing just now?¡± Chen Anna raised her eyebrows. She had already found some clues. Upon hearing this, Jossi¡¯s hand on the steering wheel paused for a moment before she revealed a helpless smile. As expected, he couldn¡¯t hide it from his bad friend. With that in mind, Qiao sisi did not hide anything and told him about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s business trip. Of course, he didn¡¯t mention the details, but Chen Anna knew about it even if he didn¡¯t say it. ¡°Not bad, sisi. You¡¯re progressing very quickly now. That President Zheng has really hooked your mind away. When I first saw you, I felt that something was wrong, as if my soul had flown out of my body. Now, I finally found the reason. ¡± Anna Chen teased. Facing her teasing, joesse pursed her lips and suppressed the shyness in her heart.¡±¡±Don¡¯t talk nonsense. ¡± ¡°Are you shy?¡± Chen Annaughed. The atmosphere in the car was very harmonious, and the two of them did not put on any airs at all. They even started a heated discussion about this matter. ...... A few minutester, the car stopped in front of a coffee shop. This was the caf¨¦ that qu ya and the others had booked. Upon reaching the ce, Joes and Chen Anna alighted from the car and walked in. In the four-seater seat by the window, he saw qu ya and Wen Ling, who were holding their heads high. ¡°You guys are finally here.¡± Qu ya¡¯s lips curled into a disdainful smile. She picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. Other than two cups of coffee, there was nothing else on the table. As soon as qu ya finished speaking, Wen Ling couldn¡¯t help but sneer,¡±¡±There are still people who arete for an agreed time.¡± ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± Anna Chen retorted rudely. After that, she pulled Joes to the seat opposite them and beckoned for a waiter. ¡°Waiter, two desserts, please.¡± The waiter quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Yes, customer.¡± After the waiter left, only the four of them were left in the room. The desserts were served very quickly. They were exquisitely made, and the sweet fragrance of the food greatly increased one¡¯s appetite. Joes did not touch the dessert in front of her but said to qu ya and the other girl,¡±¡±Stop ying those childish games and get back to the main topic. Yesterday and today can be considered two days of time for the bet. It¡¯s time to see the oue today. ¡± After saying that, she squinted her eyes slightly, and a dark light shed in her eyes. No matter what, the oue of this so-called bet had already been decided from the beginning. Qu ya and the others had no chance of winning. Moreover, Joes and Chen zuolin knew each other well. After talking to each other, Chen zuolin confirmed that there would be no other business partners for this project in the short term. He was the president of Hengyuan investment. Even if qu ya and the others knew other people from Hengyuan, it would be useless. The decision...Would always be in Chen zuolin¡¯s hands. In that instant, many thoughts shed through her mind. Joes had already confirmed the oue and picked up the silver spoon beside her to dig into the dessert. His actions were casual, as if he didn¡¯t care about the result at all. Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help butugh. She nced at qu ya and Wen Ling and said,¡±¡±Sisi¡¯s right, let¡¯s get to the point. ¡± ¡°Main topic?¡± The next moment, qu ya sneered,¡±¡±Alright, since you want to lose so much, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish! Lingling, do you have the contract? show them who the real winner is!¡± ¡°Yes, I have it!¡± Wen Ling took out a document from her bag. It seemed to be a recentlypleted contract. She immediately opened the document and showed everyone the part stamped with Hengyuan investment¡¯s seal. As if thinking that this wasn¡¯t enough, Wen Ling pushed forward again so that Joes and Chen Anna could see more clearly. Qu ya crossed her arms and raised her chin.¡±Did you see that? you lost this bet. The contract is here.¡± Wen Ling didn¡¯t even try to hide her feelings. Now that the two of them had the upper hand, they were overjoyed and did not care about Joes at all. Was this really ... A contract? However, after looking at the contract, Joes and Anna Chen had the same thoughts. They looked at each other and saw the word ¡°shock¡± in each other¡¯s eyes. Joesse lowered her gaze, but her brain was working at full speed as she scanned through the contract. The most important part was not the contract, but the stamp! She was deep in thought. She knew Chen zuolin very well. Since he had already agreed, he would never let anyone else interfere. ording to what Joes knew, no one in Heng Yuan had been able to make decisions without Chen zuolin¡¯s permission. Not even the biggest shareholder. The clear evidence was already in front of him, and he had to link the matter with this somewhat strange seal. Joes had more or less an answer in her heart. If he was not mistaken, the contract that qu ya and the others had taken out should be fake. ¡°These two people are quite bold. They even dared to forge the cooperation contract with Hengyuan?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows, feeling a little helpless. Weren¡¯t these two people just offering their faces to be pped? They didn¡¯t know that Chen zuolin and Qiao si were close. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have chosen this method. There were some slight differences between the stamp on that page and the stamp that Joes had seen before. ¡°Sisi, is this the real contract? I don¡¯t think so. I remember that President Chen has already agreed to it. ¡± Joes was clear about this, but Anna Chen was still a little apprehensive. She quickly leaned in and asked Joes. Jossi gave her a reassuring look. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fake. ¡± Chen Anna heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. It was good that it was fake. The smile on qu ya¡¯s face became more and more smug when she saw the two of them whispering to each other as if they were not as high-spirited as they had been when they first arrived. She sipped her coffee and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve shown you the contract, and there¡¯s basically no chance of sess on your side. Then it¡¯s about time to decide. I want that evening gown!¡± At the end of her sentence, a ruthless glint shed across qu ya¡¯s eyes. Wen Ling added fuel to the fire,¡±not only do you have to send us the dress personally, but you also have to take a video to express your apology. Don¡¯t think that it¡¯s over just like that when you embarrassed us at the banquet at the fashion show. We all remember it clearly!¡± Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Isn¡¯t it tiring to act like this?

At the mention of the fashion show, Wen Ling gritted her teeth and wanted to tear Jossi into pieces. If it wasn¡¯t for her, the banquet that could be used to fish for a rich husband wouldn¡¯t have been ruined. Because of that incident, the two of them held a deep hatred for her, and it had evolved into what it was now, and they were trying their best to take revenge. Looking at qu ya and Wen Ling¡¯s confident faces, Joes furrowed her pretty brows. ¡°Wait,¡± A clear female voice rang out. It was Jossi¡¯s voice. Qu ya didn¡¯t know that they had already discovered the truth. She looked at her contemptuously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you have anything else to say?¡± ¡°Of course I do!¡± Joes immediately replied. She reached out and her fingers coincidentallynded on the contract. It moved slowly and finally stopped at the spot where Hengyuan investment¡¯s stamp was. This seal was forged. Seeing this, qu ya and Wen Ling¡¯s expressions changed instantly. They looked at each other and could see each other¡¯s ugly expressions. This B * tch ... Did she already find out, or did she identally put her hand there? ...... Qu ya was already a little flustered. No matter which possibility it was, it was not good news for her. This was because the problem of getting a stamp wasn¡¯t very serious, but Hengyuan attached great importance to this kind of thing. Forging was not allowed. If it was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. Clearing her throat, qu ya nced at Wen Ling, then adjusted her expression and pretended to be calm. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you want to say, just say it directly. Or ... You can¡¯t afford that evening dress?¡± After she finished speaking, she was still a little nervous. She unconsciously looked elsewhere, hoping to change the topic. Upon hearing this, joesse¡¯s eyes were indifferent, but she did not look at the two people opposite her. After a moment of silence, Chen Anna broke the silence again,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know what you¡¯ve done? Don¡¯t treat sisi and I as fools. Your clumsy lie was exposed in a moment. ¡± Hearing Chen Anna¡¯s words, qu ya and Wen Ling panicked even more. Cold sweat even broke out on their foreheads. However, things had alreadye to this point, and there was no turning back. Even if he did not acknowledge the contract, it would be a huge risk. Qu ya gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±What are you talking about? we don¡¯t understand. Lingling and I have already reached an agreement with Hengyuan. This time, you¡¯re cooperating with our twopanies, and our clothing stores will also put our products on disy. Don¡¯t make nderous usations!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Are you two not going to admit to your debt now?¡± Wen Ling red at Chen Anna. Chen Anna wasn¡¯t afraid of the malicious gazes of the two, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. These two people were simply shameless to the extreme. It was clearly a fake contract that couldn¡¯t be any more fake, but he could still lie through his teeth and say that he was the right party. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they were in a public ce, Chen Anna almost couldn¡¯t control her hands and would go up to give them two ps. Just as she was about to speak again, Jossi ced her hand on her shoulder. Chen Anna understood and nodded slightly. She swallowed the words she wanted to say. There was no hurry. With evidence, would they still be afraid that the fish would not take the bait? Joes took the opportunity when qu ya and Wen Ling weren¡¯t paying attention to snatch the contract from the table and carefully observed it. Wen Ling wanted to snatch it, but joesse had already taken it away. ¡°Jossi, you B * tch! What are you going to do with our contract? are you going to destroy it?¡± Wen Ling gritted her teeth. Upon hearing this, qu ya¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, and she had an idea. That¡¯s right ... If Jossi were to destroy this contract, wouldn¡¯t they have no evidence? Thinking of this, qu ya organized her words and agreed with Wen Ling,¡±¡±Joesse, if you dare to destroy this thing, we will definitely not let you off. You¡¯re just the president of a small, unknownpany. What right do you have to talk to us like that?¡± On the surface, he was trying to diss Joes, but in reality, he was adding fuel to the fire. However, to qu ya and the others ¡®surprise, Joes was not angry at all. Her expression was still very calm. After a while, he even put the contract back on the table. ¡°What is this B * tch doing?¡± Qu ya gritted her teeth, not knowing what joesse was going to do. After that, Jossi took out her phone from her pocket unhurriedly and turned on the camera before anyone could react. Crack ... Crack ... A slight sound was heard. By the time qu ya and Wen Ling reacted, Joes had already finished taking the photos and put her phone away. When Chen Anna saw this, she only wanted to say,¡±Well done! ¡°B * tch, what are you doing!¡± With a sharp cry, qu ya mmed the table and stood up. She snatched the contract and ced it on the chair behind her. Her actions alsopletely expressed her guilty conscience. Joes¡¯s eyes were nonchnt. After eating a strawberry on the dessert, she smiled and said,¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rush, miss qu? Wasn¡¯t this a real contract? Besides, I¡¯m not going to destroy your contract. There¡¯s no point in destroying this thing. There¡¯s a backup in thepany. Miss qu, don¡¯t be afraid. ¡± His tone was filled withughter. Joes was like a cat ying with a mouse, teasing the two dumb mice in front of her. Qu ya clenched the corner of her clothes so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn¡¯t realize it at all. B * tch ... She wanted to kill this B * tch! Wen Ling saw that something was wrong. She quickly got up and pulled qu ya back to her seat to hide the fierceness in her eyes. She forced a smile and said,¡±¡±Of course this contract is real. We just didn¡¯t think of this earlier. Thepany has a backup. Even if you really destroy it, we¡¯re not afraid of anything. So, now, shouldn¡¯t you fulfill your promise?¡± The promise she was talking about was to buy the expensive evening dress as a gift. This included posting videos of him humiliating himself on the inte. It was impossible for Jossi to do such a thing. Moreover, she had no need to do it. ¡°Alright, stop acting. Aren¡¯t you guys tired of acting like this? The contract is fake, we already knew it. ¡± Qiao SI¡¯s brows furrowed, and a faint ¡°¡± character appeared between her brows. She had no intention of continuing to y with qu ya and the others. Chapter 355

Chapter 355: That¡¯s not what I said in the beginning

¡°Jossi, you B * tch! What right do you have to say that our contract is fake!¡± Qu ya couldn¡¯t help but shout. Coupled with the silence of the coffee shop, her sharp voice was heard by almost everyone in the coffee shop. For a moment, many people looked at him. Doubt, curiosity, gloating ... Qu ya¡¯s face instantly stiffened. She nced at the crowd and clenched her fists. ¡°What are you looking at? What¡¯s there to see!¡± Qu ya shouted, but she still felt extremely embarrassed. She turned her head slightly to avoid being seen. After being yelled at by her, many people in the cafe were dissatisfied. After all, not everyone could ept being scolded for no reason. Many people began to whisper, and the previously quiet coffee shop slowly became noisy. Seeing this scene, Chen Anna almost couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. It took a lot of effort to control this action. Then, Chen Anna moved the silver spoon in her hand and dug into the dessert. She said,¡±¡±Miss qu, you¡¯re really well-mannered.¡± His mocking words made qu ya¡¯s face turn red. She wanted to retort, but she had already attracted a lot of attention just now. If she continued to act like a Shrew ... ...... If he was photographed, his image would bepletely destroyed. It was just that Chen Anna didn¡¯t know what she was thinking. If she knew what she was thinking, she would probablyugh for the whole day. With qu ya¡¯s current appearance, there was no need to mention anything about her image. In the meantime, joesse took out her phone again. She did not put in as much effort as qu ya and the others, and had even prepared some contract. There was only one simple way to prove that star Yuan design had already cooperated with Hengyuan investment. And that was to make a phone call. With an idea in mind, joesse waved her phone in front of qu ya and Wen Ling and said with a smile,¡±¡±It¡¯s easy to prove that your contract is fake. And what you¡¯re about to know is that you¡¯vepletely lost this bet because Xingyuan has already established a cooperative rtionship with Hengyuan. ¡± After saying that, she searched through her contact list and found Chen zuolin¡¯s number. Qu ya bit her lower lip and didn¡¯t say a word. Even Wen Ling was silent, not knowing what to say. ¡°Then ... Let¡¯s wait for the results.¡± Joes nced at their ugly expressions and gave Anna Chen a ¡°no problem¡± look. Then she pressed the call button, and qu ya didn¡¯t have time to stop her. ¡± The call went through very quickly, and Chen zuolin picked up the phone after a few seconds. ¡°Hello?¡± A low voice was heard. Even through the phone, the four people present could hear it clearly. In an instant, qu ya and Wen Ling¡¯s faces turned pale. Because they knew that this voice was definitely the voice of Hengyuan investment¡¯s CEO, Chen zuolin! The two of them had met Chen zuolin a few times, but they had only seen him at banquets and rarely interacted with him. It could only be said that they were not on the same level at all. Therefore, qu ya and Wen Ling were sure of their guess as soon as they heard the voice, and they began to panic. Their contract was forged, and they even forged the seal of Hengyuan investment. This matter ... Qu ya gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to speak, joesse interrupted her. ¡°Brother Chen, I may have disturbed you, but I have a question to ask you now.¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly. After he finished speaking, Chen zuolin also noticed that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and had some guesses in his heart. After a while, he said again,¡±¡±What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°I would like to ask, if Hengyuan investment¡¯s stamp and contract were forged, what measures would they take?¡± Qiao SI¡¯s tone was light, but the question that came out of her mouth made qu ya¡¯s and her partner¡¯s hearts skip a beat! At this point, Chen zuolin more or less understood what joesse meant. Furthermore, on the way here, Joes had secretly sent Chen zuolin a text message, saying that she might need his helpter. He didn¡¯t expect it toe in handy so quickly. Chen zuolin¡¯s mood improved after being able to help Joes. He said calmly,¡±¡±Hengyuan will definitely not let this go if we encounter such a situation. Forging is intolerable, not to mention cheating people in the name of Hengyuan!¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s voice was filled with coldness. ording to the n, he had described the consequences to be extremely serious. But what he said was also the truth. He originally hated this kind of thing. Joes nodded in agreement and brought the phone closer to qu ya and Wen Ling. ¡°How is it? did you two hear that? Do you still dare to admit that Hengyuan personally agreed to this contract?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. Beside her, Anna Chen also felt extremely relieved and wanted to give her a round of apuse. This face-smacking was simply a resounding ¡°pa pa¡±! At this point, it was useless for qu ya and Wen Ling to deceive themselves. The phone in front of them was still ringing. It meant that no matter what they said, Chen zuolin would hear it. This is so embarrassing! Qu ya felt extremely embarrassed, but she did not dare to raise her head to look at Joes in the eye, so she could only lower her head to hide the fierce glint in her eyes. Wen Ling was the same. She was speechless. The panic and hatred in their hearts werepletely proportional, and now the only thought was to escape. After a long time, Wen Ling said with difficulty,¡±¡±This ... This was just a joke. Jossi, don¡¯t take it seriously.¡± ¡°A joke? That¡¯s not what you said in the beginning. ¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but sneer. It seemed that they were out of tricks now. They could even tell a lie like joking. They were all smart people. Who didn¡¯t know what evil thoughts these two people had when they took off their masks? Joes was not prepared to let them off either. Thest time, their methods were too light, which gave them the idea of revenge now. The next moment, qu ya reacted quickly. She tore the contract on her back into pieces without any hesitation and threw it into the trash can. The speed was extremely fast. In less than a few seconds, the contract had turned into a pile of shredded paper, lying quietly in the trash can. Qu ya slowly let out a sigh of relief, but her fingers were still trembling slightly, not relieved in the slightest. She felt that as long as the contract was destroyed, joesse and the rest would have no evidence to prove that they had forged the contract. That photo was nothing. Without the contract, who could prove that they forged it? Chapter 356

Chapter 356: Chapter 357 return in defeat

It had to be said that qu ya was too naive. After the sound of paper being torn came to an end, joesse chuckled, pretending to be confused. ¡°What are you doing? are you destroying the evidence?¡± The casual question made qu ya¡¯s face even uglier. She and Wen Ling looked at each other and reached a consensus. ¡°What do you mean by destroying evidence? what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand a word you¡¯re saying.¡± Qu ya¡¯s eyes flickered as she spoke. However, she did not know that her actions werepletely useless. ¡°Yeah,¡± Wen Ling argued,¡±we were just joking. Miss Qiao, you guys took it too seriously.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Joesse did not mind. She greeted Chen zuolin on the phone and asked him to wait for a moment. Then, she took out something else from her pocket. A recording pen. Ever since the theft incident from a year ago, where Joes was maligned and even locked up in the detention center, she had learned one thing. That was to carry something for self-defense and a recording pen, which she thought was very important. For example, right now, this recording pen had already recorded their entire conversation from the moment they entered the cafe. ...... Joesse had to thank this good habit of hers. It had really helped her solve a lot of problems. After showing the recording pen to qu ya and the other woman, Joes received even more intense hatred, but she did not care at all. When they did such a thing, they should have thought of the consequences. ¡°The recording pen and the photos should be enough for Hengyuan investment to convict you, right? This is all clear evidence. ¡± Joes raised her pretty brows, but her tone carried a hint of a smile. If it wasn¡¯t for the current atmosphere and asion, others would probably think that she was just chatting with a friend. Chen Anna also agreed,¡±see that?¡± So ... Whether you fulfill this bet or not, we have no say. But you should be able to imagine the consequences. Don¡¯t forget, we¡¯re still on the phone. ¡± Her gazended on Joes¡¯s phone, which was still on the call with Chen zuolin. Although Chen zuolin didn¡¯t say anything, he had some understanding of the situation. At this moment, Wen Ling¡¯s face was flushed red, and qu ya clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, gritting her teeth in anger. ¡°Jossi, you ...¡± She squeezed out these words with difficulty, her brows so furrowed that it seemed like they could squeeze a fly to death. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Joesughed coldly. Chen zuolin was also very supportive on the other end of the phone. He suddenly said,¡±Hengyuan will not tolerate a fake.¡± Because he had been in a high position for a long time, his words were sharp and almost instantly broke through their psychological defense. This sentence temporarily suppressed all the hatred in qu ya and Wen Ling¡¯s hearts. ¡°Jossi, you¡¯re ruthless!¡± Qu ya¡¯s eyes were fierce. After ring at joesse, she picked up her bag and left, leaving behind an angry back. Seeing this, Wen Ling quickly followed and added,¡±¡±Just you wait and see!¡± Seeing this scene, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t hide the smile at the corner of her mouth. She loudly reminded,¡±¡±Don¡¯t forget the bet we made. That evening dress must be delivered as promised. Otherwise, if this contract and recording were to be leaked out, both yourpanies can forget about continuing in the business world!¡± With Anna Chen around, there was nothing much for Joes to say. She curled her lips. Her words attracted the attention of many people in the coffee shop. They all looked at qu ya and Wen Ling in shock. He was simply treating them as a joke. Qu ya and Wen Ling had no choice but to speed up, as if there was a wild beast chasing them. He quickly left the caf¨¦, his back looking rather disheveled. After the two of them left, Anna Chen and Joes could finally sit down and have a good cup of coffee. However ... The matter had not been resolved yet. ¡°Big brother Chen, thank you for your help this time. What you said just now was thest straw that broke the camel¡¯s back.¡± Joes said to the phone with a smile. If it weren¡¯t for Chen zuolin¡¯s words, qu ya and Wen Ling might not havepromised so quickly. After all, star origin was not considered to be a major faction, and they were not afraid of Joes at all. Otherwise, they would not have provoked her and left behind a bet. However, Chen zuolin was different. Almost everyone in the business world knew about his reputation. Hengyuan investment was also a well-known bigpany. As the CEO, Chen zuolin only needed to lift a finger to make the qu Corporation and Wen Ling¡¯spany lose their business. This was true strength. The current Joris might not be able to achieve it, but that did not mean that she would not be able to in the future. Chen zuolin revealed a faint smile as he thought about what had happened just now. However, joesse could not see it through the screen. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Besides, Hengyuan is also making a profit by cooperating with Xingyuan. You don¡¯t have to think that I helped you.¡± After saying that, Joes smiled helplessly.¡±Since you¡¯ve already said so, there¡¯s no point in me continuing to thank you. If you have time, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal and settle some of the remaining small problems in the contract. How about it?¡± ¡°Of course you can.¡± Chen zuolin answered without hesitation. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll contact you again next time, big brother Chen. Take care and rest well.¡± After greeting Chen zuolin, joesse hung up the phone and kept it in her pocket. At this time, Chen Anna had almost finished the dessert on the table. She even called the waiter over and ordered two desserts. One was for herself, and the other was for joesse. Looking at the items on the table, joesse¡¯s mouth twitched and she asked,¡±¡±Why did you order one for me?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat it, I can help you solve it, but it will inevitably exceed the standard.¡± Chen Anna thought for a while. Eating too much will make you gain weight, so it¡¯s better to be careful. Even though Joes felt a little helpless, she did not reject Anna Chen¡¯s kind intentions and finished the dessert. After qu ya and the others left, she felt that the atmosphere in the coffee shop was better, and the air was fresher. Chen Anna took a sip of coffee and asked curiously,¡±¡±Sisi, you seem to be on good terms with that ... President Chen now?¡± She was still a very sharp person. When Chen zuolin supported joesse¡¯s decision to leave the country, she had already noticed something. However, since Joes did not have that intention, she would not say anything. Upon hearing that, Joes instantly guessed Chen Anna¡¯s thoughts. After all, they had been good friends for many years. Chapter 357

Chapter 357: I didn¡¯t recognize him

Joes tapped the dessert with her silver spoon and exined helplessly,¡±¡±Anna, don¡¯t think too much. There¡¯s nothing between brother Chen and me. Besides, I¡¯m already with Zheng Zeyi, so it¡¯s impossible for that to happen. ¡± After saying that, she took a bite of the dessert. The sweet taste entered her throat, and even her mood improved a little. Chen Anna curled her lips.¡±Then you can pretend that I didn¡¯t mean it. I was just saying. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Regarding such matters, she would at most tease Joes a little, but she still knew her limits. Unknowingly, time passed by quietly. As Joes and Anna Chen were chatting, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her brows and felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. ¡°Right, I just remembered something very important ...¡± Chen Anna did not realize the seriousness of the matter. She raised her head slightly and asked,¡±¡±What is it?¡± The corners of Joes ¡®lips curled up a little, revealing a smirk.¡±¡±Why were you in such a hurry to leave in a taxist time? is there something you don¡¯t want me to know?¡± Thest time, Joes had already sensed that something was amiss. However, when she saw that Chen Anna was a little anxious, she did not ask. Now that he had seized the opportunity, he naturally could not let it go. Sure enough, after hearing what Joes said, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes shed with a guilty glint. ...... She looked away to hide the emotions in her eyes.¡±I ... I wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave thest time. I just didn¡¯t want to trouble you to give me another ride.¡± Jossi, who had known him for many years, could see through his clumsy lies with a single nce. Chen Anna was still not good at lying. She was usually carefree, but at this time, she stammered and could not speak. Joesse pursed her lips, then said,¡±¡±Tell me the truth.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s expression changed when she heard these three words. The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Her furrowed brows gradually rxed, as if she had made up her mind. In the end, Chen Anna chose topromise and sighed,¡±¡±Forget it, I¡¯ll tell you then. There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t tell you. It¡¯s just that I met an acquaintance in thepany ... And he just happened to call me over for dinner that day, so I went in a hurry. ¡± Chen Anna obviously gave up on hiding and told him everything. After all, it was not her intention to hide this matter from joesse. It was only human nature for her to not tell joesse about it, and she was just a little embarrassed. ¡°Acquaintances?¡± Jossi asked in confusion. She searched her memory but couldn¡¯t find any friends of the opposite sex that Chen Anna was particrly close to. Chen Anna swallowed her saliva when she heard Joes ¡®question. She could not help but smile sweetly. ¡°We¡¯re not exactly acquaintances. We¡¯ve only met a few times when we went back to our hometown for the new year.¡± After Chen Anna exined, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added,¡±¡±By the way, his name is ye chen,¡± Ye chen? Upon hearing this name, Jossi was shocked. She had thought of many possible candidates but she had never thought that it would be ye chen. ¡°How could it be ye chen?!¡± Joes eximed. One could tell her current emotions from her tone. She had only met ye chen a few times when she was in Yun Qi and was not very familiar with him. However, Chen Anna was now telling her that the person she had a good impression of was ye chen! For a long time, Joes still could not react. Seeing this, Chen Anna blinked her eyes and some memories surfaced in her mind. ¡°Oh right, I remember ... Did you see him before when you were in Yunqi?¡± The scene from that time appeared in her mind. Qiao sisi was on the phone with Chen Anna and happened to bump into ye chen when he arrived. Chen Anna asked after hearing the name. Now that he thought about it, he had only asked that question because he had heard of a simr name. ¡°Yeah, I really didn¡¯t expect it. How did you two meet?¡± Joes asked with great difficulty. Even now, she had yet to calm down. Moreover, she really did not expect that ye chen was actually working at Yun Qi. Why did he suddenlye to city h? Could it be rted to Chen Anna? Doubts and suspicions rose in her mind, but Joes did not even know the answer to a single question. ¡°I¡¯ll exin it to you. It¡¯s a long story, but I¡¯ll make it short. ¡± Chen Anna said with confidence. After that, she told joesse about how they met, and only then did her emotions calm down slightly. It turned out that Chen Anna and ye Chen¡¯s hometown was the same ce. They had yed together when they were young, but they had left the city after they grew up, so they had almost no contact. This encounter was because Chen Anna had gone back for the new year and happened to meet ye chen. The family members of the two families also knew each other. The sparks between the two people also started to show signs from that time. However, after the new year, Chen Anna did not stay any longer and went back to city h to work. She had thought that she would not have the chance to meet ye chen again. Who knew that after a while, he woulde to her of his own ord? Back then, Chen Anna was even more shocked than Joes was now. She was also a little happy and excited. This had happened not too long ago, and Chen Anna had not thought of how to tell Joes. In the end, his good friend had already noticed that something was wrong. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to hide it from you, but sisi, you¡¯re too sensitive. I can¡¯t hide it for a while longer.¡± Anna Chen said softly, looking at Joes with a resentful gaze. Now that things were out in the open, she was not as embarrassed as before. ¡°That¡¯s nothing.¡± Joes smiled.¡±Didn¡¯t you also know that something was wrong the moment you saw me?¡± This kind of thing was also mutual. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Theirughter was as clear as Silver Bells. After that, joesse took a sip of coffee to moisten her throat and said,¡±¡±But your encounter with ye chen was quite dramatic. I¡¯ve only seen him once when I was in Yunqi. When you said that just now, I really didn¡¯t expect it to be him. ¡± ¡°Is it ... Dramatic?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s mouth twitched. Her eyes moved slightly and she said,¡±actually, it¡¯s not dramatic. I didn¡¯t recognize him at first, so I took the initiative to hit on him.¡± Who knew that in the end, he would tell me that his name was ye chen. I knew who he was and I was pulled back the moment I wanted to leave. ¡± Chen Anna¡¯s tone carried a bit of emotion. Chapter 358

Chapter 358: Chapter 359 doing the best

From her words, Jossi could more or less imagine what the scene was like. Although he did not know what ye chen and Chen Anna had experienced when they were young, it had clearly left a deep impression on his bad friend. Otherwise, Chen Anna wouldn¡¯t have been scared off just by saying the name. ¡°So ... What¡¯s your situation now? you¡¯re not in a rtionship yet, are you?¡± Joes asked. Her guess was correct. Chen Anna nodded,¡±¡±I¡¯m not sure, maybe it¡¯s just a little ambiguous. I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking. If a man like him doesn¡¯t make his thoughts clear, I¡¯ll look down on him! If you don¡¯t have such thoughts, then just pretend I didn¡¯t say anything today. ¡± In the end, Chen Anna¡¯s tone was still a little uncertain, and she chose to admit defeat. Joesughed heartily at herical behavior,¡±¡±Anna, be more confident. When will you bring me to see your ymate?¡± ¡°Of course you can.¡± Chen Anna agreed. The two of them talked about this for a long time. They sat in the coffee shop for more than half an hour and didn¡¯t notice the passage of time. The atmosphere was joyous and harmonious, and the two of them did not hide anything from each other. After looking at the time, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes widened and she said in surprise,¡±¡±It¡¯s already oneo¡¯ clock in the afternoon. ¡± ...... Upon hearing this, joesse subconsciously looked at the time. It was indeed afternoon. The weather was a little hot today. Through the ss window of the coffee shop, one could clearly see the scorching sun in the sky. Joes raised her hand and covered the ring light. Then, Chen Anna said apologetically,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯ll be leaving first. I ... I have an appointmentter.¡± He didn¡¯t say who it was, but the two blushes on his cheeks revealed the information. If she was not mistaken, it should be that ye chen. It seemed that their dates had be more frequent. Joes could not help butugh and teased,¡±¡±Alright, you should go. It¡¯s not good to make people wait too long.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll be leaving. Be careful on the road!¡± After that, Chen Anna left the coffee shop in a hurry and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Joes did not stay in the cafe any longer. She picked up her bag and the evidence from earlier and left. After getting into her car, she headed towards Xing Yuan design. After a day¡¯s rest, thepany started working as usual. However, joesse had not gone there this morning. However, she texted Millie what she needed to do. It didn¡¯t take long before they arrived at thepany. This renovationpany was very dedicated to their work. Even the first, second, and third floors, where there were some problems, they had corrected them after obtaining joesse¡¯s consent. It was a small change, but it made these three levels more pleasing to the eye. ¡°Hello, President.¡± ¡°Good afternoon, President.¡± The employees who passed by greeted her politely. Joes had a lot of prestige in thepany and was popr. As long as the employees worked hard, there were many benefits. ¡°Morning.¡± Joes responded to all the staff who greeted her. When she arrived on the third floor, she saw Millie, who was handling some work. Seeing her arrival, Miley quickly stood up from her office seat and respectfully said,¡±¡±Good afternoon, President.¡± Joes smiled and patted her shoulder as she walked past. ¡°You too, how was your holiday?¡± Millie blushed and lowered her head.¡±¡±It¡¯s pretty good, President. ¡± After hearing this, Jossi¡¯s smile deepened. However, she did not ask any further and changed the topic to thepany¡¯s Affairs. ¡°The people from the renovationpany are already upstairs?¡± Joesse had asked this question in passing. Although the soundproofing of the building was very good, one could still hear the incessant sounds of renovation upstairs. It was intermittent, starting and stopping at times, which was indeed worrying about affecting the work efficiency of the employees. However, only the third floor was affected the most. The remaining two floors were fine. ¡°Reporting to the president, the people from the renovationpany are already on board. I¡¯ve also confirmed the drawings before they came. I¡¯ll let them start work only after there are no problems.¡± Millie nodded. ¡°Well done.¡± ¡°Great!¡± Joss praised generously. Then, without any dy, she ced her belongings in the office and went upstairs. She still had to discuss some details with the renovationpany. These were also mentioned in the contract. He would have to listen to Jossi¡¯s opinion on most problems. After all, it was herpany. When she reached the upper floor, Joes saw the renovation workers who were working hard. The upper floor, which was originally devoid of any signs of life, was now livelier. ¡°Hello, President Qiao.¡± A few renovation workers saw her and quickly stopped their work, standing up to greet her. Looking at this scene, Jorisughed and said,¡±¡±Hello, don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m just here to take a look. By the way, where is your manager li?¡± ¡°President Qiao, our person in charge is over there.¡± The renovation worker pointed in a direction. ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± After thanking them, Joes walked in the direction that they were talking about. Her thanks also made the few renovation workers feel ttered. The few of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. One of the construction workers, who was still holding a bucket of paint, said with aplicated expression,¡±¡±This President Qiao seems to be different from the rumors.¡± ¡°Yeah, President Qiao seems to be quite humble.¡± Another worker chimed in. Most of their knowledge of Joes came from the inte. On the inte, many people were deliberately dissing Jossi. Of course, there were also many who liked her. Therefore, everyone had different opinions about President Qiao, who designed Xing Yuan. This was because the incident from a year ago had also appeared on the inte, including the truth of the court incident. These rumors were nothing much, so after Jossi noticed it, she did not immediately resolve it. A few minutester, she found manager li. She had no idea what the group of workers were talking about. Manager li was currently arranging some design drawings for the renovation. When he saw that Joes had arrived, his eyes lit up. ¡°President Qiao.¡± Joes smiled and greeted back,¡±¡±Manager Li, I didn¡¯t expect yourpany to send you here.¡± Manager li was the chief designer of the renovationpany. It just so happened that most of his design styles were also liked by Jossi. She had mentioned it to the renovationpany, but she did not expect that they would really send her over. ¡°President Qiao, since it¡¯s your order, I¡¯ll naturally do my best.¡± Manager Li said with a smile. Chapter 359

Chapter 359: You¡¯re not joking with me, right?

Faced with manager Li¡¯s wless answer, Joes did not say anything and returned a smile. ¡°Can I take a look at these designs?¡± Jossi pointed at the design on the table. Actually, she had seen most of it. As for the details, the renovationpany had also changed them with her consent. These few copies were almost the final draft. ¡°Of course you can.¡± Manager li naturally did not reject her request. He tidied up the design drafts and passed them all to joesse. After looking through the designs, she had an idea of what to do and was quite satisfied with them. ¡°Manager Li, I¡¯ll leave thepany¡¯s renovation to you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao, leave it to me. ¡± Manager Li said. After that, joesse did not stay any longer upstairs, mainly because the smell was a little too strong. She quickly returned to the office. After she left, manager li nced at the renovation workers upstairs.¡±¡±Be serious. There will be a bonus after this order ispleted.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± The crowd cheered and sped up their movements without any dy. ...... Manager li also started to get busy with his own matters. The renovationpany was able to give out bonuses because of the huge deal that joesse had made. Whether it was the price or President Qiao. ¡­¡­¡­ Downstairs, in the office. Thepany was more free than before these days, and there were not many documents to deal with. The warm afternoon sun shone in through the ss windows, dyeing the entire office with a warm feeling. There was a kind of peaceful state of mind. Joes smiled slightly. With a fountain pen in her hand, she wrote down her name on the document in front of her without hesitation. Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door. ¡°Bang Bang.¡± Upon hearing the knock on the door, joesse raised her eyes and temporarily ced her fountain pen on the table. She said,¡±¡±Come in,¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. It was Millie, who hade to report. She lowered her head and hesitated before saying,¡±¡±President, there¡¯s someone downstairs who says he has something to give you. I was worried that there might be something important, so after I found out, I came to you immediately. ¡± Things? Joes noticed the two words and narrowed her eyes. A glint shed across her eyes. ¡°Did he say who sent it?¡± ¡°There is.¡± ¡°He said it was a Ms. Qu and Ms. Wen who asked him to give it to you,¡± Millie nodded.¡±He also said that this must be handed to the president.¡± After Millie said that, Joes instantly knew what it was. Other than the evening gown, it could not be anything else. Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that qu ya and Wen Qi were jealous and wanted to teach her a lesson. They might have sent her something else. For now, Jossi would not consider these matters. After all, she had a rough understanding of qu ya and the other woman. With Chen zuolin¡¯s deterrence, they should not dare to continue causing trouble. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if they could even keep their family¡¯spany. If qu ya and Qiao si were not idiots, they would not have done so. After all, Joes still had critical evidence in her hands. At the thought of this, Joes felt slightly more at ease.¡±Check the things. If there¡¯s no problem, bring them up to me.¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± After receiving joesse¡¯s order, Millie turned around and left the office, heading downstairs. As for Joes, she continued to work on her documents and did not waste any precious time. After a few minutes, Millie came back with a huge gift bag. The gift bag was very exquisite. One look and one could tell that the items inside were not ordinary. Millie ced the gift bag on the leather sofa in the office and asked curiously,¡±¡±So it¡¯s an evening gown that the president bought.¡± Through the gap in the gift bag, she could see the sparkling broken diamonds embedded in the end of the evening dress. In fact, such an expensive evening gown should not be preserved in such a way. It was very likely that the clothes would be damaged. However, based on qu ya and Wen Qi¡¯s attitude towards Qiao si, they did not care about the damage. To be able to buy such a piece of clothing, he had to suppress the hatred in his heart with all his might. He was simply aggrieved to death. Recalling their expressions, Jossi raised her brows and walked to the side of the evening gown. ¡°I didn¡¯t buy this evening gown,¡± she replied. ¡°Didn¡¯t the president buy it?¡± Millie was confused. ¡°No, it¡¯s a long story. I¡¯ll exin it to you when I have time.¡± After she finished speaking, Joes took out the evening gown from the gift bag and spread it out on the leather sofa. Looking at it this way, she was truly stunning. Although Hengyuan was only investing in a small new project, the quality of the project was guaranteed for such arge corporation. Even joesse was stunned by the evening gown when she saw it again. The beige dress was designed with a tube top, and the person wearing the dress had to have a good figure to fully bring out its beauty. In addition, the fluffy skirt was the perfect in every woman¡¯s fantasy. Joes was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. No matter what, she had seen many good things. Even when she was studying abroad, Mike had taken her to several banquets and design conferences. These ces nevercked beautiful evening dresses. Millie, on the other hand, was stunned for a long time before a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth and she said enviously,¡±¡±President, isn¡¯t this dress too beautiful?¡± ¡°Do you like it?¡± Joes suddenly asked, her gaze falling on her assistant. This evening dress was also an unexpected gift. She didn¡¯t want to wear it when it was a gift from qu ya and her partner. However, if Miley liked it, he could give it to her. After all, she had worked in star essence Pce for a long time. Furthermore, they were extremely capable. Miley didn¡¯t know what joesse was thinking. If she knew that the president wanted to give her the dress, she would probably be so shocked that she couldn¡¯t speak. After listening to joesse¡¯s words, she nodded her head heavily and said,¡±¡±President, I think this evening gown is really beautiful.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Joesse¡¯s lips curled up into a beautiful arc. However, the words that came out of his mouth were unbelievable. Millie felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stammered for a long time, unable to speak. She pointed at herself in disbelief. ¡°President ... You ... You¡¯re not joking with me, are you? How can you give me such an expensive and beautiful evening gown?¡± His tone was filled with surprise. Chapter 360 - Upstairs, are you fishing?

Chapter 360: Upstairs, are you fishing?

Millie gulped nervously, her face showing a hint of panic. As if she felt that what she said just now was not right, she quickly added,¡±¡±President, this evening gown is too expensive. You should keep it for yourself.¡± ¡°I have no use for it. It¡¯s something I got by ident. You can take it away.¡± Joes shrugged her shoulders, looking as if she did not care at all. She had thought of giving it to Chen Anna, but she understood her best friend¡¯s personality. Although it was a bet, she would never ept the gifts from qu ya and Wen Qi, given her annoying attitude towards them. However, the fault of the person could not be med on the item. That was why Joes had wanted to give it to Millie, and had also considered the possibility of her rejection. After that, Millie still refused,¡±¡±President, this is too expensive. I can¡¯t ept it.¡± Looking at Millie¡¯s furrowed brows, Joes smiled helplessly. She did not force her any further and asked,¡±¡±You really don¡¯t want to?¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t want to, but thank you for your kindness, President! You can even think of me when ites to such things!¡± Millie¡¯s EQ was very high. After rejecting her, she even bowed her head slightly to thank Joes. At this, joesse pursed her lips and nodded.¡±¡±Alright, since you don¡¯t want it, I won¡¯t force you. Miley, help me find a ce. ...... He would keep this evening gown for the time being and wait until it was of use. Oh right, before you save it, remember to take a photo and send it to the publicity department. ¡± ¡°A photo ... Okay, President. I understand. I¡¯ll go now.¡± Millie heaved a sigh of relief. After receiving the order, she left with the evening gown, leaving Jossi alone in the office. She didn¡¯t stay idle either. She took the draft that she had just written and went to thepany¡¯s publicity department. She didn¡¯te to this Department often, but it didn¡¯t mean that she didn¡¯t know about it. In terms of online publicity, it still yed a big role. ¡°President Qiao, why are you here?¡± When he saw Qiao si, the Marketing Manager immediately came out to wee her personally and asked for the reason. Joes did not hesitate and ced the draft on the table. ¡°I wrote this draft. Miley will send over a phototer. That photo is also very important.¡± At this point, Joes paused. ¡°You don¡¯t have to deliberately hide that we did it. I have the recording too. There¡¯s no need to be afraid. Just post it.¡± Joesse was talking about the bet with qu ya. She naturally had to publicize this matter, not to publicize that she had obtained the evening gown, but to publicize the bet that qu ya and her husband hade up with. If joesse had not found Chen zuolin and fulfilled her part of the bet, she would have been the one who was spreading the news all over the inte. She was still clear about the hatred qu ya and the other woman held towards her. They would not let go so easily. Hence, Joes¡¯s methods could not be too soft. There was no need to let such a person off. After hearing her words, the Marketing Manager quickly skimmed through the script, and his eyes were filled with surprise. Suppressing his emotions, the Marketing Manager said solemnly,¡±¡±President, I know what to do.¡± ¡°Well ... It¡¯s good that you know,¡± Joesughed. Thepany was filled with such understanding people. As the president, she would be more rxed and there was no need to go into detail. After a brief exnation, they all knew what to do. Not long after joesse left the marketing department, the Marketing Manager started to prepare for the promotion after reading the script. The publicity department was very efficient. In just a few hours, this matter had started to ferment on the inte. Jossi, who was working, also nced at her phone in her free time and focused on the hot search for the day. The first one was her script. It seemed that the publicity department was quite capable. They had taken the top spot in the hot search so quickly. ¡°It¡¯s much faster than I thought. ¡± Joes raised her eyebrows slightly and opened the trending search, scrolling through the articles. The content of her article was not simple. In addition to the bet this time, she did not let go of the incident at the fashion show banquetst time. It had happened in public, and there were surveince cameras. Even if qu ya and the others wanted to refute it, they had no evidence to prove their innocence. Qu ya could not stand the sight of Qiao si si and Zheng ze together, so Qiao si did not miss out on their conversation and wrote it all down. As expected, the heat of the matter almost reached the peak. Some of theizens ments also made Jossi happy. ¡®I don¡¯t even know what to say about this, but I¡¯m on Xing Yuan¡¯s side.¡¯ Whether it¡¯s the wine sshing or the bet, this person seems to be passive and never thought of doing so. ¡± Late autumn: ¡°that¡¯s right. The person above is right. This President Qiao is already so low-key, but the other people still want to provoke him.¡± It¡¯s fine to provoke them, but the point is that they suffered a crushing defeat in the end. Isn¡¯t this just asking for trouble?¡± ¡°No matter what, it¡¯s not a good thing to post something like this on the inte without the consent of others,¡± green vine said. I¡¯m king replied,¡±the person above is a Saint, right?¡± Did you read the article? that was what those people said when they first set up the bet. President Qiao has to deliver it personally. Can you please wear your sses when you read the article?¡± Lucky Cat: ¡°... I think you¡¯ve got the main point wrong. Isn¡¯t the main point of this article about President Qiao? why is he with the Golden Bachelor, President Zheng Zeyi?¡± Thisizen¡¯sment instantly attracted the attention of the vast number ofizens, and thement section was no longer limited to discussing the bet. ¡°That makes sense. My idol already has a girlfriend. Oh no... Fianc¨¦e. When did this happen?¡± Weiwei: ¡°also, when did my Prince Charming get a girlfriend? but I have to say, these two are really good looking!¡± Joes was a B * tch.¡±What President Joes? this Joes is a B * tch. She¡¯s not even worthy of carrying someone else¡¯s shoes. Pfft!¡± Xiao Fan,¡±upstairs, are you here to fish?¡± Please make a detour. ¡± ¡­¡­¡­ There were countless simrments, and everyone had their own ideas and arguments. With the two matters added together, theizens were not fools. They could still tell who was right and who was wrong. Most of them were on joesse¡¯s side and felt that she was doing the right thing. Some were also shocked that she was with Zheng Zeyi. Except for some inte Saints and keyboard warriors who were ming for the sake of ming. Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Chapter 362-be Swift and decisive

This kind of person was self-centered. She was also the only one who felt that Joes was in the wrong among the rumors that were spreading all over the inte. They were quickly med to death by otherizens, and some ounts didn¡¯t even dare to show themselves. The name Jossi was also well known by manyizens. From a year ago until now, she had been on the hot search countless times, and even theizens were used to it. Qu ya was the first to receive the news of such a big storm. She happened to be with Wen Qi at this time. ¡°Detestable, this B * tch!¡± Qu ya mmed her palm on the table, making a loud ¡®bang¡¯. She felt a slight pain in her palm, but she didn¡¯t care. This pain could not evenpare to the hatred she had for Jossi! He even wanted to tear that foxy face into pieces. Wen Qi, who was sitting on the side, saw qu ya¡¯s intense reaction. Her face was also extremely ugly, and her left hand was clenched into a fist. ¡°That¡¯s right. That Jossi is a B * tch. She only won this bet because she has a little friendship with President Chen.¡± Wen Qi¡¯s eyes were dark. These words were as if she wanted to belittle Qiao si. But no matter what, these were just their own fantasies, and they used it to give themselves somefort. ...... After hearing Wen Qi¡¯s words, qu ya immediately said,¡±¡±No, we can¡¯t continue to tolerate this.¡± ¡°But what can we do?¡± Wen Qi was also very clear about the current situation. It waspletely different from her previous impulsiveness. She furrowed her brows and analyzed,¡±President Chen from Hengyuan investment seems to know that B * tch, Joes. Otherwise, the coboration wouldn¡¯t have been settled so quickly.¡± She even threatened us over the phone. If we make a move now, what if that B * tch hands over all the evidence to Hengyuan?¡± He instantly found the main point. That was the very important evidence that Joes had mentioned. As long as this thing was around, qu ya and the other person would not be able to do anything to Joes. In addition, Yan Ling had already escaped. Qiao sisi¡¯s evidence was the key. If she did not think things through and made the evidence public, qu ya and Wen Qi¡¯spanies could be shut down immediately. Based on Chen zuolin¡¯s personality, he would never tolerate such an act of forging Hengyuan¡¯s investment seal. At that time, it would be easy to hit a rock down the well. Anyone who wasn¡¯t a fool would be able to think of this. After careful analysis, they would know that it wasn¡¯t a good time to counterattack. Thinking of this, qu ya was very aggrieved. Her face flushed red and she gritted her teeth. It took her a long time to rx. ¡°That¡¯s true, but we can¡¯t possibly endure it forever and let that B * tch gain power, right?¡± ¡°I won ¡®t.¡± Wen Qi shook her head and said with a fierce look,¡±¡±I¡¯m just enduring it for now and trying to get over this storm. I don¡¯t believe that Xing Yuan design is just a smallpany without any ws!¡± His tone was extremely vicious. It was not hard to imagine that if the two of them found out about the ws and shorings of Xing Yuan¡¯s design, they would probablyunch an attack directly. They would not show any mercy at all. The two of them had long hated Joes to the bone. ¡°That¡¯s fine. ¡± Qu ya¡¯s brows rxed a little.¡±Then we¡¯ll do as you say. We¡¯ll endure it for now.¡± I¡¯ll find an opportunity to start from Xingyuan¡¯s design. By the time that B * tch finds out, it¡¯ll probably be toote. ¡± The two of them looked at each other and gradually formed a n to target Xing Yuan. As long as the twopanies behind them didn¡¯t fall, they could use this power to make a move. The sess rate would also increase. ¡°Jossi, just you wait! I won¡¯t let you have a good life. This is what you get for going against me and snatching Zheng Zeyi away!¡± Qu ya looked out the window, but her eyes were filled with hatred. It was the same for Wen Qi. From the time she sshed the wine, they were destined to be on the opposite side. ¡­¡­¡­ At that moment, Joes had just returned home from work and was on the phone with Anna Chen. She didn¡¯t know what had happened to qu ya, and she didn¡¯t want to know, because she could easily guess the result. She had the evidence in her hands. ording to the current situation, only a fool would go against her. Joes used her key to open the apartment door while listening to Chen Anna¡¯s endless stream of words over the phone. ¡°Sisi, the article you posted today is on the hot search. It¡¯s so satisfying. There are a lot of people scolding qu ya and Wen Qi in thements section. It was originally the fault of those two people. Seeing them being scolded by so many people, I also suddenly felt a lot happier. ¡± Chen Anna said with some relief. It was not hard to imagine that she must have a bright smile on her face at this moment. She had wanted to send it out as well, but joesse was one step ahead of her. What was even more unexpected was that not long after, the second time she went on Weibo, she realized that this matter had already spread all over the ce. At that time, Chen Anna almost joined in thements and scolded qu ya and Wen Qi. Fortunately, she managed to control herself in the end. Hearing the excited tone on the other end of the phone, Joes could not help butugh,¡±¡±This is also giving him a taste of his own medicine. Didn¡¯t they already n to do this to me before? It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect the person to be the other way around. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. ¡± Chen Anna nodded. She thought for a moment and said,¡±¡±If this continues, qu ya and the others will soon be notorious.¡± The inte was the ce where news spread the fastest. They couldn¡¯t deny this. However, there was one thing that had to be acknowledged, and that was that for a certain matter, after a certain period of time, its poprity would die down. Hence, Joes was very clear that even if this matter had been on the hot search for a long time, it would still continue to ferment. However, it would probably be forgotten soon, and the poprity would drop. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see what qu ya and Wen Qi are going to do when the heat has died down. If they stop, we don¡¯t have to care about them anymore. If you still don¡¯t repent ... Then I¡¯m not someone to be trifled with, and I won¡¯t hold back anymore. ¡± Joes¡¯s voice was very calm, as if she was narrating an insignificant matter. However, Chen Anna was very clear that she was very serious. ¡°You should have done this long ago. You¡¯re now the president of Xing Yuan. Of course, you have to be Swift and decisive.¡± Chapter 362

Chapter 362: There seem to be two more people

After listening to Chen Anna¡¯s words, Joes¡¯s lips curved into a smile,¡±¡±Alright, alright. What you said makes sense.¡± ¡°It is.¡± Chen Anna curled her lips. At this moment, Jossi was resting in the living room. After taking a look at the time, she went to the kitchen and ced a hamburger into the microwave. It was a fast food burger that only needed to be heated for a few minutes. After cing the food into the microwave, Jossi said into the phone,¡±¡±Alright, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. I¡¯m going to take a bath.¡± ¡°Alright, you can go then.¡± After that, the two hung up. After Joes ate her hamburger, she tidied up her clothes and filled the bathtub with hot water. She then took afortable bath. The phone was ced at the side, and the bathroom was filled with mist. After a while, joesse was leaning against the bathtub and closing her eyes infort when she heard the phone beside her ring. ¡°Someone is looking for you ...¡± Jossi opened her eyes when she heard the ringtone. She picked up the towel beside her and wiped her hands before picking up the phone. He nced at the screen and finally knew who was on the phone. ...... She teased Zheng Zeyi. Unknowingly, the corners of joesse¡¯s lips curled up. She did not notice it at all and picked up the call without any hesitation. ording to the time, Zheng Zeyi should have just arrived outside not long ago. He called her immediately. As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard a loud noise from the other side. It was a little far, so he couldn¡¯t hear it clearly, but he could faintly hear a sweet voice.¡±¡±Wee, all passengers ...¡± Upon hearing this voice, joesse was stunned, and she had an answer in her mind. It turned out that he had just gotten off the ne! ¡°Hello? I¡¯ve already arrived. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s maic voice rang out. Even through the screen, it was still like a feather that could tug at people¡¯s heartstrings. Qiao SI¡¯s face turned red. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to call her first! She cleared her throat and calmed herself down before she said,¡±¡±You just got off the ne?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and answered her directly. Joes blinked her eyes and did not continue to dwell on this topic. Since she already knew about this, it was enough. Qiao si knew very well how Zheng ze treated her and how he valued her. ¡°Are you used to the food on the ne?¡± Joes asked out of habit. After she asked, she suddenly realized that she shouldn¡¯t have asked this question. ¡°It¡¯s good, but my girlfriend¡¯s concern makes me feel better. ¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. F * ck! The corners of Joes ¡®mouth twitched. How could she have forgotten about this? Zheng Zeyi was picked up by a private ne. Naturally, there were top-notch chefs on the ne who specially prepared exquisite food for him. It waspletely different from an ordinary ne. How could he not be used to it? Qiao Si was about to cry from her own stupidity. She always felt that whenever she encountered Zheng Zeyi¡¯s matters, she would always make such low-level mistakes. ¡°Jossi, be careful!¡± After warning herself in her heart, Joes took a deep breath and her facial expression returned to normal. ¡°What¡¯s the time over there? Is it 1 am?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he nced at the time on his phone and replied,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, 1 am. ¡± ¡°The time difference I calcted was right. It¡¯s enough that you can tell me that you¡¯re safe as soon as possible. It¡¯s gettingte, you should go back and rest first. When you have time, we¡¯ll video call again, how about that?¡± Joes tried to persuade him. Otherwise, Zheng ze would probably continue to chat like this. As expected, when Zheng ze heard that, a faint frown appeared between his brows, as if he was not satisfied with this arrangement. ¡°I don¡¯t really feel like resting at the moment. I¡¯d like to hear your voice.¡± Zheng Zeyi started to flirt with her again. Fortunately, Joes was well-prepared this time around and forcefully withstood this wave of attacks, suppressing the temptation in her heart. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll agree just because you said that. It¡¯s still early in the morning over there, what are you preparing for instead of resting? Hurry up, or I¡¯ll get angry. ¡± Joes said, feigning anger. No matter what Zheng Zeyi said, she would not change her mind. Sensing her determination, Zheng Zeyi did not refute her. Instead, his lips curled into an evil smile. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go rest then.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it. Also, remember to send me your schedule when you¡¯reing back. I¡¯ll pick you up at the airport.¡± Joes said. This time, Zheng Zeyi had also said that it would only be a short business trip of a few days. It would not take long. She would be back in a few days ¡®time, so joesse had to make time to pick her up at the airport. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you,¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was very doting, and assistant li, who was watching from the side, was stunned. However, he had seen this scene many times and was somewhat mentally prepared. Joes was satisfied and said with a smile,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll hang up first, you take care of yourself over there.¡± She hung up the phone, took a shower, and changed into a bathrobe. With her wet hair stuck to the back of her ears, Jessi looked at herself in the mirror as she dried her hair with the hairdryer. The mirror reflected a graceful figure and an exquisite face. The water droplets on her hair fell down, adding to her charm. After taking a few nces, Joes began to blow-dry her hair seriously, but she was still rather happy. After all, every woman loved to look beautiful, and it was in their nature to love beauty. Even she ... Was no exception. After drying her hair, Qiao si went to rest. Zheng Zeyi had just left the airport and was on his way to the hotel. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°President, this is the schedule for tomorrow.¡± Assistant li handed over a list. There was not much written on it. Zheng Zeyi had a high status in the business world, even when he was abroad. He had some connections and roots. Therefore, the people from thatpany didn¡¯t dare to underestimate them. The people who came to negotiate were all the top figures. In order to show their sincerity, they let them bear all the expenses. Zheng Zeyi raised his brows slightly and took the list to take a look. ¡°Apart from those three, who else did mari arrange for you?¡± Not long after, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep voice rang out from the car. His attitude waspletely different from when he was talking to joesse, forming a sharp contrast. However, assistant li was already used to this and was used to his boss¡¯s attitude. He thought for a moment and said,¡¯there seem to be two more people, but the CEO of mari didn¡¯t mention much. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to just take a look. ¡± Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Chapter 364-let¡¯s just call it that for now

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi understood what was going on. His deep gazended outside the window. A familiar figure appeared in his mind. The corners of his mouth curled up, and even his mood became better. The car drove further and further away, but it could not stop a certain someone¡¯s heart from flying back to city H. ¡­¡­¡­ On the second day. City h, blue sky Apartment. ¡°Buzz.¡± The phone suddenly vibrated, and it was covered by the rm clock. Joes was still drowsy. After rubbing her eyes, she got up and took a look at her phone. It was a text message. ¡°Grandpa Zheng?¡± She mumbled in confusion. The screen showed an unfamiliar phone number. The content was as follows. After he made it clear that he was old master Zheng, he invited Joes to his house to y chess. Coincidentally, a few of his old friends came as well. Even though she did not know if it was true, Joes still decided to call and ask for confirmation. The call was picked up by old master Zheng.¡±¡±Hello sisi, it¡¯s Grandpa Zheng.¡± ...... Upon hearing this familiar voice, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn¡¯t that she was paranoid, but after Yang Yue Yue¡¯s incident, she had to be more vignt. It would also avoid causing even greater trouble, which would be even more difficult to deal with. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯ve seen the messages you sent me. Do you want me to go and y chess with you?¡± Joes said with a smile. His attitude was also extremely polite. Old master Zheng quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right sisi, a few of my old friends are here too. They insisted onpeting with me in chess. I told them that sisi¡¯s go skills aren¡¯t bad, but they insisted on seeing it. ¡± The moment she finished speaking, Jossi heard a cold snort from the other side. If he was not wrong, it should be the old master Qin who liked to go against old master Zheng, but was actually the closest to him. After hearing old master Zheng¡¯s words, Jossi thought for a moment and had an idea. ¡°No problem, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯ll be at the Zheng family in about half an hour. You can y chess first. Don¡¯t wait for me.¡± Joes took a look at the time. It was still early, eighto¡¯ clock in the morning. She had woken up slightlyter than usual. It wasn¡¯t a long journey to the Zheng family. With that, old master Zheng was relieved. Heughed and said,¡±¡±Sisi, we¡¯ll be waiting for you here.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± he said. After Joes finished her sentence, she hung up the phone after greeting old master Zheng and told Miley about it. She would not go to the office in the morning and would go in the afternoon. After that, joesse changed into a dress that made her look dignified and elegant. She was also very particr about the color. The light purple color gradually turned blue, and she wore a pair of blue high heels, which disyed her elegant temperament to the fullest. After changing her clothes, Joes took her car keys and went downstairs. She happened to see little red. ¡°Morning.¡± Joes greeted him with a smile. Xiao Hong also revealed a bright smile and replied,¡±¡±Good Morning, miss Qiao. Are you heading to the office?¡± After staying at the blue sky Apartment for a long time, joesse¡¯s rtionship with this youngdy had also improved slightly. Even if he asked this question, it wouldn¡¯t be too abrupt. ¡°No, I¡¯m going out for a while, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After Joes answered her, she did not say anything else and left the blue sky Apartment. ¡°Take care, miss Qiao.¡± Little red bent over slightly and spoke in a very respectful tone. After they had walked away, she raised her head and stared at joesse¡¯s back for a long time. His eyes were conflicted, and even his brows were tightly furrowed. Her hand clenched the corner of her clothes. It was obvious that she was very nervous and did not know what to do. ¡°Phew, I¡¯m sorry, miss Qiao.¡± In the end, little red heaved a sigh of relief and looked apologetically in the direction that Joes had left in. Since she had already made her decision, she did not dy any longer. She took out her phone and sent a message to someone. The content was that Qiao sisi had gone out alone today, and Zheng Zeyi had not apanied her. This was because the news of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s business trip was only known to old master Zheng and a few trusted people in thepany. It was also because of this that the person behind the scenes had little red keep an eye on Joes to see what was going on. He didn¡¯t expect to find out so quickly. After sending the message, Xiaohong looked around warily and put the phone back into his pocket, pretending that nothing had happened. Joes did not know about this matter. Otherwise, she would have many guesses in her heart. There were so many people who wanted to drag Zheng ze down that they could not even count on two hands. 15 minutester. Jossi¡¯s car stopped in front of the Zheng family¡¯s main gate. The security guards had clearly been instructed by old master Zheng. When he saw her car, he immediately opened the door without any hesitation. ¡°The Zheng family ...¡± Joes looked up and scanned the huge building. She smiled, closed the car door, and walked towards the gate. When she passed by the security guard, she heard him say in a strong voice,¡±¡±Good day, Madam Zheng!¡± What? Upon hearing this, Joes staggered and almost fell to the ground. She looked at the security guard in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief, and the corner of her mouth twitched. Needless to say, he knew who had taught him this. Recalling what Zheng ze had said thest time she was here, Joes could not help but feel helpless. She didn¡¯t know what to say to the security guard¡¯s actions and could only sigh. ¡°You can call me miss Qiao now.¡± Jossi felt that it was a little too fast for her to address Mrs. Zheng as Mrs. Zheng before they were even engaged. When Zheng ze was around, she did not say anything. However, since he had left, she could still make the decision for herself. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the security guard said with some difficulty,¡±¡±Madam Zheng, this is what young master Zheng instructed me to do. He said that everyone in the family has to call her that, and he hopes that Madam Zheng can understand. ¡± The security guard lowered his head. On the other hand, Qiao si clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Her expression became increasingly awkward. Zheng Zeyi ... Had gone too far! However, since the security guard had already said so, joesse did not want to make things difficult for him. ¡°Alright, then you can call me that for now.¡± Joes said helplessly. ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Zheng!¡± After that, she followed the familiar path to the back garden, which was also the ce where she yed chessst time. She even saw Ma Shan on the way, but her back was facing her and she was discussing something with Zheng Zeyu. As the distance was rather far, Joes did not hear it clearly. After taking a nce, she looked away and did not look at it for long. Chapter 364 - As long as you know what you’re doing

Chapter 364: As long as you know what you¡¯re doing

However, she had a feeling that it was not something good. Joesse was even more on guard. As soon as she arrived at the back garden, she saw a few old men ying chess. The ones who were doing the business were old master Zheng and Grandpa Qin. They seemed to be so engrossed that they did not notice joesse¡¯s arrival. Joes had no intention of being troubled. She lowered her footsteps and got closer, watching their game from afar. At this moment, the chess game had be a game of chess. Neither side was willing to give in, and they were both thinking about how to y next. Old master Zheng held a white chess piece in his hand and frowned as he looked at the chaotic chess game. ¡°Old Qin, what kind of game are you ying? it¡¯s getting messier the more I look at it!¡± Old master Qin was not to be outdone and directly replied,¡±¡±You said that my chess is messy. Look at which pieces you have moved. Relying on your moves that have crossed the Chu River Han boundary is of no use. Do you believe that I will make you lose directly?¡± After saying that, the old Qin master unceremoniously moved a chess piece on the chessboard. The situation seemed to have cleared up a little after he made his move. It was obvious that old master Zheng was at a disadvantage. ¡°You ...¡± Old master Zheng felt a little embarrassed, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face. ...... He rolled his eyes and saw Joes standing not far away. He said happily,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re already here?¡± After saying that, old master Qin and the other old masters who were ying chess looked at Qiao si. It was a little embarrassing that all eyes were on her. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯ve only just arrived. I saw that you were ying chess, so I didn¡¯t want to disturb you.¡± Joesughed. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ...¡± Old master Zheng nodded his head in understanding. He stood up and walked to Jossi¡¯s side, ignoring the chess game that he had yet to finish. ¡°Since sisi is here, there¡¯s no point for me to continue ying chess with old Qin. Why don¡¯t sisi y with us?¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as heughed. Old master Qin controlled his urge to roll his eyes and exposed him without any hesitation. ¡°Come on, I can¡¯t afford to lose. I¡¯m about to lose this game, and sisi just happened toe. It¡¯s an excuse that delivered itself to my door, right?¡± Only old master Qin would say this so bluntly. Old master Zheng was not convinced and said,¡±¡±Old Qin, what do you mean by that? Sisi is my granddaughter-inw. Since she¡¯s here, shouldn¡¯t I be taking care of her? Old Qin, the older you are, the more ideas you have!¡± Not only did he not admit to his crimes, but he also mocked old master Qin. When old master Qin heard this, he was so angry that he blew at his beard and red at her. If not for joesse¡¯s presence, he would not have been able to control himself. When the other old men heard the interesting conversation between the two, they allughed out loud. But this kind of scene, they had also seen many of it these few years. They were already in a state of being used to it. Looking at this scene, the corners of Qiao SI¡¯s mouth curved up slightly. She felt that the friendship between old master Qin and old master Zheng was definitely extraordinary. Just like her and Chen Anna. On the surface, they seemed to be unforgiving with their words, but in reality, something had happened. The two of them were the first to think for each other. After the farce ended, old master Zheng ignored old master Qin and turned to say,¡±¡±Sisi, how about ying chess with us?¡± ¡°Sure, but my go skills aren¡¯t that good. Grandpas, please show mercy.¡± Joes said humbly. The people present were all old people who had lived for more than half of their lives, and they could see things clearly. It was the same when she yed chessst time. She lost the game because she couldn¡¯t see the big picture better than old master Zheng. However, it was not a loss. At least he knew where he wascking and what he wascking. Moreover, Joes was also very clear why old master Zheng had suddenly asked her to y chess today. Apart from the reason he had mentioned before, if nothing unexpected happened, he probably wanted her to be more familiar with these old grandpas. These old grandpas, including old master Qin, were all influential figures in the business world or the military. It was never a loss to know more. Moreover, she was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s girlfriend now. This kind of behavior was normal and did not involve too much profit. Not long after Qiao si finished speaking, old master Qin quickly said,¡±Sisi, since elder Zheng has said so, why don¡¯t you y a round with me?¡± At this time, another old man couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and couldn¡¯t help but scold with a smile,¡±¡±Old Qin, is there anyone like you? You¡¯ve been ying chess for decades and you¡¯re here to bully a little girl. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, who doesn¡¯t know that you love to y chess? now you¡¯ve even dug a hole for sisi!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The other old masters couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, but old master Zheng didn¡¯t say anything. He kept looking at old master Qin with a strange look. After receiving so much contempt, old master Qin was furious. He patted the table and said,¡±¡±You guys are good. I don¡¯t have that kind of intention. I just want to y chess with sisi.¡± ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t believe him. He¡¯s been in the chess world for decades and has never met a worthy opponent. I can¡¯t bear to see them bully a child like you. ¡± An old man said with a smile. They didn¡¯t have any other intentions. They were just afraid that joesse would be upset if she lost to old master Qin. The longer they lived, the more they noticed. Joes knew what they were thinking. She nced at old master Zheng and smiled.¡±¡±Thank you for your kind intentions, grandpas, but Grandpa Zheng called me here today to y chess. It¡¯s also a good thing to witness the skills of the grandpas, so you don¡¯t have to worry at all. ¡± The scene fell silent for a moment. The old Qin master raised his head proudly.¡±¡±Did you hear that? sisi said so herself.¡± ¡°Sisi is kind,¡± old master Zheng rolled his eyes at him.¡±She¡¯s just too embarrassed to reject you.¡± It had to be said that this was also one of the reasons. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know what you¡¯re doing. We¡¯re just casually saying a few words, hahahaha. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Grandpa Chen said straightforwardly. After making her decision, joesse followed old master Qin to the stone table. The two of them sat face to face, cleaned up the mess, and began to y again. Old master Qin was the first to ce a stone. He lived up to the words of those old men. He attacked fiercely from the start and made the situation clear. However, Joes was not at a disadvantage yet. After a careful observation, she found a suitable position and ced her white piece. Even the other old men who were watching couldn¡¯t help but p and cheer at the spot he chose. Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Wait for me for a while

¡°Elder Zheng, your granddaughter-inw¡¯s chess skills aren¡¯t bad either. I don¡¯t think elder Qin would have expected this move.¡± Old grandfather Chenughed heartily. The other old men also said the same thing, their words full of praise for Joes. Other than the fact that old master Zheng often mentioned it and had a good impression of it. Joes¡¯s personality was also to the liking of the old men. She was dignified and knew what she should do. Old man Zheng nodded in satisfaction and said,¡±¡±Of course. She¡¯s my grandson¡¯s granddaughter-inw.¡± ¡°That grandson of yours ... Is indeed powerful.¡± At the mention of Zheng Zeyi, old master Chen could not help but click his tongue. Even he was somewhat impressed by this person¡¯s ability. He was born with a noble air and was extremely familiar with the business battlefield. His methods were fast, urate, and ruthless, and he could get what he wanted in one go. These old men had watched Zheng Zeyi grow up, so they were very clear about this. It could be said that they had never had such a high evaluation of anyone before. Zheng Zeyi was the first. At this moment, Joes and old master Qin were already deeply immersed in the game of chess, and the situation was getting more and more tense. As an onlooker, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t help but worry for his granddaughter-inw. There were already many pieces on the board, ck and white, and the number seemed to be about the same. ...... In fact, the old Qin master was better. ¡°This step ...¡± Joes deliberated and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she still chose the more conservative method, which was to let go. However, she did not expect that as soon as she ced her piece, old master Qin¡¯s ck piece immediately followed and ate her white piece. In an instant, joesse knew that she had gone the wrong way. Old master Qin¡¯s attitude towards her was much gentler. When he saw that Qiao sisi kept looking at him, he also revealed a smile. However, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.¡±¡±Old Qin, you¡¯re forcing me.¡± ¡°Sisi, you can do it. Your go skills aren¡¯t bad at all. Try to make old Qin lose once!¡± Old master Chen also joined in. Joesse smiled helplessly, but she still felt warmth in her heart. ¡°Thank you, grandpas. I can only say ... I¡¯ll try my best.¡± She turned her head slightly. The game continued. It had been more than ten minutes since the beginning, and it was almost the end. Joes took the chessboard into her eyes and looked at the clear situation before calmly epting this fact. ¡°Grandpa Qin, I¡¯ve lost,¡± She put down the White piece and looked up at old master Qin, who was sitting opposite her. She couldn¡¯t help but smile. She was calmer than she had imagined, because she had already expected this result from the very beginning. He just kept trying, but he couldn¡¯t break through in the end. Old master Zheng was about to say something when he was interrupted by old master Qin, who picked up the chess pieces on the table with a smile. Sisi, do you know why you lost in this game?¡±he asked. After hearing this, Joes fell into deep thought. She had thought that she had some problems, but after hearing old master Qin¡¯s question, she became a little uncertain. After thinking about it carefully, Joes said,¡±¡±Grandpa Qin, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m aware of the big picture enough, so I didn¡¯t notice your thoughts, right?¡± ¡°Wrong!¡± Old master Qin gave this answer immediately, but his tone had a bit of a smile. It could be seen that this game of chess had made him very happy. After he said that, not only Jossi, but the other old men were also stunned. Everyone looked at each other and began to wonder what old master Qin wanted to say. ¡°Old master Qin, that¡¯s ...¡± Joesse pursed her lips and lowered her head to ask for his advice. The old Qin masterughed.¡±It¡¯s a problem to see the big picture, but it¡¯s not a big problem. You¡¯ve already noticed many times that something was wrong and defended in advance. However ...¡± At this point, he paused before continuing,¡±¡±Your biggest problem is yourck of offensive power.¡± ¡°Offensive?¡± Joes asked, not fully understanding. ¡°That¡¯s right, I attacked fiercely, but you only chose to defend. As the saying goes, one wrong step, one wrong step. There were no rules in a Go game, but from the moment you chose to defend, you had already lost. Do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Old master Qin exined clearly, word by word. In an instant, Joris felt a sh of light in her mind. She tried to grab it, but she could only touch it. She could not hold it tightly in her hands. Even so, she still felt like she understood something. These words had left a deep impression in her heart. Even after many years, she had not forgotten them. Seeing that Qiao si seemed to have understood something, old master Qin¡¯s smile deepened and he kept the go board. As he kept it, he said,¡±as expected, you¡¯ve dominated the chess world for more than a decade and still haven¡¯t met a worthy opponent.¡± Old Zheng, don¡¯t you have a River next to your house? Let¡¯s bring sisi and go fishing. ¡± Hearing this, old master Zheng really wanted to kick the smug old master Qin out, but he held back in the end. ¡°You¡¯re only proud of ying chess. I¡¯ll go fishing. I¡¯ll go find some fishing gear.¡± After saying that, old master Zheng turned around and prepared to leave. Joes finally regained her senses and stood up with a smile,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, let me go get it. You guys can just wait for me here.¡± ¡°No need ...¡± Old master Zheng had just said two words when he was interrupted by Grandpa Qin.¡±¡±You¡¯re slow, it¡¯s better for sisi to get it herself. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, elder Zheng. Sisi¡¯s legs are definitely much nimbler than yours. Don¡¯t waste your time.¡± Said Grandpa Chen. His friend¡¯s words also indirectly reminded old master Zheng. No matter what, he was still in a weak state since he had just been discharged from the hospital. It would not be worth it if Joes found out that something was wrong. Thinking of this, old master Zheng thought about it and nodded.¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then. The fishing gear should be in the storage room next to the kitchen. The key is hanging there. ¡± ¡°Alright, Grandpa Zheng, please wait for me for a while.¡± Jossi jotted down old master Zheng¡¯s words and did not dy any further. She followed the route she had taken thest time and found the kitchen. Sure enough, he saw the storage room next to the kitchen, and the key was hanging on the door. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a familiar voice behind her.¡±¡±Jossi, stop right there.¡± Her voice was sharp, and there was no one around, so she had no scruples. That¡¯s right, it was Ma Shan who lived in the Zheng family. Chapter 366 - I don’t like this man

Chapter 366: I don¡¯t like this man

Joes did not even need to turn around to know who was standing behind her. She frowned and turned her head. As expected, Ma Shan, who was wearing a cheongsam, was standing behind her and looking at her arrogantly. Her face was covered in thick makeup, and even from a distance, Joes could clearly see the wrinkles at the end of her eyes. Even the wrinkles on his face could be seen. Other than her, there was another uninvited guest. That was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s younger brother, Zheng Zeyu. He stood beside Ma Shan and followed Joes with interest. Taking in the expressions of the two of them, many thoughts shed through Joes ¡®mind. She slowly said,¡±¡±Why are you looking for me?¡± She moved her feet without a sound, trying not to put herself in danger. Ma Shan naturally did not notice this subtle movement. She crossed her arms and said disdainfully,¡±¡±What do you think it is? have you forgotten what I told youst time? Zheng Zeyi said to let Zeyu enter thepany, but we only want the position of Vice President, do you hear me?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t hear you.¡± Joes¡¯s extremely calm words almost instantly ignited Ma Shan¡¯s anger. ¡°What do you mean by that? I¡¯m talking to you like this and you didn¡¯t even hear me? don¡¯t you have ears?¡± ...... She red at Joes. There were no outsiders around, so she did not have to hide her emotions. If old master Zheng was here, it would be a different scene. Initially, Qiao si si thought that Ma Shan would be able to keep her cool. However, it seemed like she was overthinking things. Her rank was only slightly higher than Liu Yun ¡®s. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear it, and I don¡¯t want to hear it. You¡¯ve got the wrong person for this kind of thing. I don¡¯t work for the Zheng¡¯s group, I can¡¯t make the decision. ¡± With that, Qiao sisi was about to leave, but Zheng Zeyu saw through her intentions and blocked her way. Zheng Zeyu smiled. Although he looked somewhat simr to Zheng Zeyi, to Qiao si si, his smile was extremely twisted. It was not even a thousandth of Zheng Zeyi ¡®s. ¡°Jossi, my mother was just too agitated. My brother isn¡¯t around now, and you¡¯re the one by his side. Of course, you have to help us.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s tone was very matter-of-fact, as if he had to help them. Joes felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. She looked at the two people in front of her in disgust. She took a deep breath and said solemnly,¡±¡±I¡¯ll say it again. It¡¯s useless for you to tell me about this. He¡¯s in charge of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group, so you¡¯ll get to sit in whatever position he wants you to. ¡± Qiao si nced at Zheng Zeyu, whose expression was gradually turning ugly, and added,¡±¡±So ... I¡¯d advise you to give up on that.¡± ¡°You!¡± Marshan raised her trembling finger and pointed it at Joes. She did not expect her to answer so directly. Zheng Zeyu pulled Ma Shan back and gave her a look, telling her not to speak for the time being. He looked around and after making sure that no one was around, he said,¡±¡±Joesse, I know what you¡¯re thinking. He thinks that my brother is the president of the Zheng Corporation now, but will he be in the future? This kind of thing ... It¡¯s hard to say. ¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s tone was somewhat thought-provoking, and there was also a sense of certainty, as if this position was already in his pocket. Even joesse could not help but frown when she heard this, many thoughts surging in her mind. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± She said coldly. Could it be that ... They were already preparing to take action soon? Qiao Si was a little confused. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s attitude had been very clear since the beginning. He wanted to be the CEO of the Zheng¡¯s group. Ma Shan was even more so. She wanted to take over the Zheng family¡¯s assets. Now that he was so certain, he must have already decided on a n and was preparing to implement it. No... She had to tell Zheng Zeyi about this. Qiao SI¡¯s eyes were filled with determination. There were too many things involved in this matter, but she still didn¡¯t know how the conspiracy behind it would be carried out. It seemed like he still needed to fish for more information and see if he could get some more important information from it. Jossi pondered and started to organize her words. At that moment, Zheng Zeyu had a bad feeling, but he did not know where it came from. He tried his best to suppress this strange feeling and cleared his throat.¡±¡±I¡¯m sure a smart person like miss Qiao knows what I mean. Do you still remember the cooperation I mentioned to youst time? it¡¯s still in effect. What do you think of this, miss Qiao?¡± Cooperation? Qiao sisi recalled the incident at the fashion show banquet. She had coincidentally met Zheng Zeyu in the corridor. He did mention cooperation, but he had directly rejected itst time. Qiao sisi was not sure what kind of person Zheng Zeyu was, but she knew that he was definitely not a good person. It was the same for Ma Shan. It was obvious that the kind of person would have the same kind of son. Before Joes could speak, Masan was a little confused and dissatisfied. She deliberated and said,¡±¡±Zeyu, what¡¯s there to work with her on? You didn¡¯t tell mom about this before. What can she do? she¡¯s just Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s tone was full of disdain. She had long regarded herself as the mistress of the Zheng family. After hearing what she said, Zheng Zeyu smiled and said with deep meaning,¡±¡±Mom, listen to me. Let me decide on this matter.¡± ¡°Alright, then mom won¡¯t say anymore. You know what you¡¯re doing.¡± Since he had already said so, it was not appropriate for Ma Shan to say anything. She was still very supportive of this son of hers. After all, no matter what, he was the hope of inheriting the Zheng family. He was the only one who could pull Zheng Zeyi down. However, after Zheng Zeyu said that, Ma Shan¡¯s gaze on Qiao si became even more peculiar, as if she was looking at a Vixen. She concealed the look in her eyes and cursed in her heart,¡±Vixen! It was bad enough that she had seduced Zheng Zeyi, but she had also seduced her son. What a shameless woman! Just by looking at Ma Shan¡¯s fierce eyes, Joes knew that she was not thinking about anything good. She was definitely scolding her. However, she didn¡¯t think of seducing him. If he knew, he would probably retort. Qiao sisi did not have any feelings for Zheng Zeyi at all. She did not like this man at all, okay? Furthermore, Ma Shan was the least qualified to say such words. She had entered the Zheng family by seducing Zheng lihan. Not only that, but she had also indirectly caused Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother¡¯s death. This was the most unforgivable thing. Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Much lighter than I imagined

If it weren¡¯t for Ma Shan, the Zheng family wouldn¡¯t have ended up like this. Joes furrowed her brows and could not help but say,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to put on a show in front of me. Don¡¯t take me for a fool. As for the so-called cooperation, I¡¯ve already said that it¡¯s impossible, not now, not in the future!¡± His tone was very sharp. At this point, she paused and continued,¡±¡±Alright, I don¡¯t have that much time to waste. You guys don¡¯t have to talk to me anymore.¡± After saying that, Joes was about to turn around and enter the storage room. She still remembered that the fishing gear that old master Zheng had mentioned was in there. However, he was still on guard in case Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu suddenly attacked him. As expected, just as Qiao sisi¡¯s hand touched the door handle, Zheng Zeyu walked over quickly and wanted to grab her hand. Fortunately, Qiao sisi reacted quickly and retracted her hand. She looked up at Zheng Zeyu and said in a slightly angry tone,¡±¡±What are you doing?!¡± ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m not nning to do anything.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes flickered and he also put his hand back into his pocket. His expression quickly calmed down as if nothing had happened. However, Joes was not prepared to let him off so easily. ¡°I advise you to restrain yourselves. This is the Zheng family, not some other ce. You have to consider the consequences before you do anything. ...... Moreover, it¡¯s not your Zheng family now, but Zheng Zeyi and Grandpa Zheng ¡®S. You should know what I mean by this, right?¡± Joes¡¯s lips curled up into a slightly mocking smile. Some people might think that she was the mistress of the Zheng family if she didn¡¯t say it out loud. Unfortunately, it was all just a daydream. Based on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ability, it would be difficult for Zheng Zeyu to achieve his goal no matter what he did. However, it would be best if they could find out something and make preparations in advance. The scene fell into a moment of silence. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was very quiet. It was as if one could hear a pin drop on the ground. After a long time, Ma Shan gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Jossi, Who Do You Think You Are? how dare you speak to us like that!¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face was gloomy, but he did not say anything since Ma Shan had spoken. Hearing that, Jossiughed coldly,¡¯you should ask yourself that. Who are you? Didn¡¯t she rely on the Zheng family and Zheng lihan to get to where she was now? Other than these, you have nothing!¡± Joes had no intention of continuing to argue with them. Her gaze stopped on the two of them for a moment before she looked away. She pulled down the door handle and went into the storage room to get the fishing gear that old master Zheng had mentioned. To prevent Ma Shan and the rest from having any bad thoughts, before entering, Joes warned them,¡±¡±I advise you not to do anything that you shouldn ¡®t. Grandpa Zheng and the others know that I¡¯m here to get my fishing gear. If I didn¡¯t go back on time, they should know what happened. ¡± Chuckling, Qiao si entered the room and disappeared from Zheng Zeyu and Ma Shan¡¯s sight. Ma Shan¡¯s face was as ck as coal. She gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them. ¡°This B * tch, who does she think she is!¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± Malshan cursed. She was so angry that she did not lower her voice. This sentence echoed in the corridor, but fortunately, there was no one nearby. Ma Shan was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She nced at the storage room with the door open.¡±Zeyu, why do you have to work with this B * tch? What¡¯s so good about her, she¡¯s just a Vixen. ¡± After hearing this, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s brows rxed a little, but his expression was still very ugly. He paused and thought for a moment before he said,¡±¡±Mom, you don¡¯t understand. I know Zheng Zeyi well. He hasn¡¯t been close to any women in recent years, and this woman named Jossi is the first one who has been able to get close to him. There must be something different about her. ¡± Zheng Zeyu had deliberately lowered his voice so that only he and Ma Shan could hear him clearly. Even though he said so, Ma Shan was still a little dissatisfied.¡±¡±Are you sure? I don¡¯t think this little slut has anything special about her. ¡± She was furious when she thought of Jossi¡¯s arrogant look just now. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression instantly turned ruthless.¡±¡±No matter what, we can¡¯t let go of this opportunity. If we can really use this woman to bring down Zheng Zeyi ...¡± That¡¯s the most satisfying thing. You¡¯ve been proud for your whole life, but you¡¯ve been defeated by a woman. ¡± The smile on Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face was rather sinister and carried a hint of confidence. At this point, Ma Shan could only choose to believe in him. She had ced all her hopes on her son. ¡°Alright, then Zeyu, you have to be on your guard. This little B * tch is not a good person. I think her ability to seduce people is not bad.¡± Ma Shan pouted and his eyes were full of disdain. However, at this time, she had forgotten that she was clearly the third party who hade between someone else¡¯s marriage. He was not qualified to say such words. After hearing that, Zheng Zeyu sighed and said,¡±¡±Mom, don¡¯t worry. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave this little B * tch to you.¡± Ma Shan hesitated for a moment and finally said this. Zheng Zeyu nodded and looked at the door of the storage room with a profound look, as well as the figure shuttling back and forth. The Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s position ... He was determined to get it! At this moment, in the storage room. Joes searched around and finally found the box that contained the fishing gear on a cab. He thought it would be heavy, but when he picked it up, he realized it was much lighter than he had imagined. Joes tried to carry it, then walked towards the door with the fishing gear. The door of the storage room was still open. Qiao si raised her eyebrows. Luckily ... Zheng Zeyu and the rest did not use such a stupid and childish method. Grandpa Zheng and the other old men knew that she was in the storage room. If they had really done such a thing, then Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu were not to be feared, because they did not use their brains at all. When she walked out of the storage room, she realized that the corridor outside was already empty. ¡°He left?¡± Joes furrowed her brows slightly and mumbled softly, before finally turning into a light chuckle. It seemed that he felt that he couldn¡¯t find a breakthrough from her, so there was no point in continuing. This was good as well. She didn¡¯t want to deal with these two people either. However, she had to bring up today¡¯s matter to Zheng ze when she had the time. It was a rather important matter. Zheng Zeyu definitely had a n. He just didn¡¯t know how far it had progressed. Chapter 368

Chapter 368: I really don¡¯t have any

Joes pondered deeply and left the ce along the route she had taken, heading towards the back garden. A strange feeling rose in her heart. She was a little concerned, but she did not stop walking. And there was indeed someone watching her from behind. Qiao si could guess who it was with a single guess. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she could not be bothered with what Zheng Zeyu wanted to do, so she left immediately. Not long after, the line of sight behind her disappeared. It seemed that Zheng Zeyu did not continue to follow her. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, Ma Shan, Zheng lihan ... Are they really the only three who participated in this?¡± Jossi was a little confused. At that moment, she had just arrived at the back garden and entered the sight of old master Zheng and the others. She suppressed her thoughts and decided to think about it when she got home. Sisi, did you find any fishing gear?¡± Upon seeing joesse, old man Zheng quickly stood up from his chair and took the fishing gear from her. ¡°I found it,¡± Joes smiled.¡±It¡¯s in the storage room.¡± Old master Zheng had done a lot of research on fishing. The fishing gear was thetest, and the materials used were the best. As long as it wasn¡¯t little white, one could tell at a nce. Grandpa Chen nced at the fishing gear. He first picked up a fishing rod and pressed it hard. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh.¡±Elder Zheng, this material of yours is pretty good.¡± ...... Hearing this, a smug expression appeared on old master Zheng¡¯s face.¡±¡±That¡¯s true. Old Qin is good at ying chess, so I¡¯m better at fishing. ¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s try it out. ¡± The group of old men rubbed their fists and wiped their palms. Each of them picked out a fishing rod and other tools and prepared to set off. Joes smiled helplessly and picked one of them as well. The group of people walked towards a River next to the Zheng family, and the bodyguards followed them. It was just that there was a distance between them, so it wouldn¡¯t make people unhappy. The atmosphere was joyous and harmonious, and Joes ¡®smile was even more radiant. She had not expected that she would be able to get along so well with this group of old grandpas. It was also the reason why everyone tolerated her. At this moment, Jossi was in the Zheng family and had forgotten about one thing, which was the Qiao family¡¯s matter. There were only two days left before the deadline for the payment. Meanwhile, Qiao Feng had just returned to the Qiao family after selling his house in the town. ¡­¡­¡­ The Qiao family. The family sat neatly in the old and shabby living room, giving off an indescribable smell. Zhao Hai ¡®er furrowed her brows and stepped back. She could not stand the smell of sweat. Liu Yun couldn¡¯t care less about that. She quickly asked Qiao Feng, who had just returned to the Qiao family,¡±¡±How is it? Did you sell the house? how much did you get?¡± This was what she was most concerned about. Of course, she wasn¡¯t the only one who was concerned. Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qiao Lei were also concerned because it was rted to the huge debt. After hearing Liu Yun¡¯s words, Qiao Feng wiped the sweat off his body with a towel and ced a bank card on the table. He wiped his sweat and said,¡±I¡¯ve sold my house for a total of 400000 Yuan.¡± Other than the 300000 that Xiao Lei owes us, we can still keep 100000 after we pay it off. It¡¯s just nice to live here, so we have to keep all this money. ¡± 100,000 Yuan wasn¡¯t a lot, not to mention that this was a big city, the capital city H. It wouldn¡¯tst long. If they wanted to live a long life, they had to find a job here, and they were clear about this. ¡°Four hundred thousand is the limit. That group of people said that it¡¯s only a house in a small town, so that¡¯s the highest price they can offer.¡± Qiao Feng sighed, obviously not satisfied with the price. The price of houses had been rising in recent years. Although it was only a house in a small town, it had cost 350000 Yuan when he had bought it. After so many years, the price had only increased by 50000 Yuan. Qiao Feng felt a little pained at the thought of it and was even more reluctant. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Qiao Lei owed him 300000 Yuan and Qiao sisi refused to help, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen to buy a house if he had no other choice. However, things had alreadye to this, and there was no other way. ¡°Four hundred thousand?!¡± Liu Yun cried out in shock, but she was even more dissatisfied. ¡°How could it be sold for only 400000? our house is in there with all the furniture, and the location is so good. It should be at least 500000!¡± As she spoke, Liu Yun extended five fingers and gritted her teeth. Her tone was filled with unwillingness. Fortunately, she was in city h and could not see the group of people who bought houses. Otherwise, she would probably go up to them and argue with them. 400,000 Yuan. After paying back 300000 Yuan, there would only be 100000 Yuan left. In such a big city, what could 100000 Yuan do? It was just paying rent for a period of time! Qiao Feng red at Liu Yun and was also a little displeased by her sharp voice.¡±¡±What can I do? they only offered this price. Besides, Lei will have to pay you back in two days. If we don¡¯t sell the house now, are we going to wait for Lei to chop off our fingers?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s angry words stunned Liu Yun. She didn¡¯t dare to speak and could only say weakly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t mean it that way ...¡± It could be said that his nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was brought into full y. Qiao Feng had been holding in his anger for too long. Even if Liu Yun was fighting for their house, he still vented his anger on her. Seeing this, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes turned and he stepped forward to Pat Qiao Feng on the shoulder.¡±¡±Dad, don¡¯t be angry. Don¡¯t me mom. I¡¯ll look for a job after this. Once we¡¯ve settled down in city h, I¡¯ll be able to take care of you guys. ¡± His smile was a little fake, but Qiao Feng and Liu Yun could not tell. Liu Yun sighed to herself. She had not raised this son for nothing. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve learned something,¡±Qiao Feng said,¡±it¡¯s worth it even if it costs 300000.¡± After all, the Qiao family is going to be handed over to you to inherit in the future. You can¡¯t let this line of incense end ...¡± He sighed with emotion. Qiao Lei patted his chest and said firmly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, dad. It¡¯ll be fine. ¡± Looking at the happy family, Zhao Hai ¡®er felt like she was being excluded. She coldly looked at what was happening in front of her and only opened her mouth at the right time,¡±¡±Mom, dad, should we contact that boss long now? We don¡¯t seem to have his phone number, what should we do?¡± Her words sessfully silenced the crowd. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t think much of it and frowned.¡±¡±I really don¡¯t have boss Long¡¯s phone number.¡± Liu Yun seemed to have thought of something as she said, ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that boss long ising to our house again?¡± Thinking back to what happenedst time, Liu Yun was still a little scared. She did not want boss long and the others to appear here again. Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Not a single mistake

Zhao Hai ¡®er understood what Liu Yun was thinking. This old apartment was their only way out. Fortunately, yang Yueyue had paid off the rent for a period of time before she went to prison. During this time, they did not have to worry about rent. Just eating, drinking, pooping, and doing other things required money! Zhao Hai ¡®er swallowed and said,¡±¡±Qiao Lei, did boss long and the others go to the casino you went to before? I don¡¯t think we should wait for them toe. If this house is destroyed, we¡¯ll really have to sleep on the streets. ¡± Even if she hated this group of people more and more, she would not leave this ce until she found a way out. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s thoughts were very secretive, and Qiao Feng did not know. However, after hearing this, he fell into deep thought and began to feel a little insecure. ¡°You¡¯re right. Lei, is there any other way?¡± Other methods ... Seeing how worried they were, Qiao Lei pouted and said nonchntly,¡±¡±What¡¯s there to worry about? I¡¯ve already given them the money. If they still dared to cause trouble, they could just call the police. But dad, mom, if you¡¯re both so worried, I¡¯ll go and look for herter. ¡± ¡°Good, our little Lei is the most understanding.¡± Liu Yun praised. ...... In short, it was fine as long as they didn¡¯te home. As for where they were going to pay back the money, she didn¡¯t care. As the night deepened, the lights in the Qiao family¡¯s house were also turned on, but the lights were a little old and dim. Qiao Feng looked at the bank card. Although he was a little reluctant, he still gave it to Qiao Lei. ¡°There¡¯s 350000 Yuan in here. I¡¯ve taken out 50000 Yuan. If those people are not satisfied with 300000 Yuan, you¡¯ll have an exnation. Lei, you have to clean up this mess!¡± Qiao Feng didn¡¯t have any other requests. He just hoped that Qiao Lei could cut off all ties with boss long and his group. This way, he wouldn¡¯t have any rtionship with the other side. Seeing the bank card, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes flickered. He nodded and took it,¡±¡±I know, dad. I¡¯ll go and look for him tomorrow. If you find them, give them the money and this matter should be over. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Qiao Feng was very pleased. At this point, this matter could be considered to havee to an end. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added,¡±¡±By the way, if our family is going to settle down in city h in the future, you guys have to go and find a job.¡± Qiao Feng wasn¡¯t stupid. He couldn¡¯t support his entire family with his meager sry. If they wanted to live in city h, everyone would have to look for a job. ¡°I have to go too?¡± Liu Yun pointed at herself in disbelief, not knowing what to say. ¡°Nonsense.¡± Qiao Feng said rudely. Upon hearing this, Liu Yun¡¯s face darkened.¡±¡±But I haven¡¯t been to work for a long time. If I go to work, who¡¯s going to take care of my family?¡± Back when they were in the small town, Liu Yun did not have to work either. It was just that they had a house back then. Moreover, with Qiao Feng¡¯s sry, they were living quite well. However, it was different now. This was city h, not a small town, and the standard of consumption was much higher. ¡°Can¡¯t you just take care of the Family Matters after you get off work?¡± Qiao Feng did not care about this at all. Then, he nced at Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was trying to keep her presence low.¡±¡±Besides, isn¡¯t hai ¡®er here? If there¡¯s anything, can¡¯t you two do it together?¡± In short, in Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes, women were born to serve them. Liu Yun¡¯s thoughts were deeply rooted in her mind. Even though she was a little displeased, she could only agree to it. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. ¡°Then ... Dad, do I need to look for a job too?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er suddenly said. Qiao Feng thought for a moment and said,¡¯there should be many restaurants in city h that are hiring waiters. No matter what, you have to go to work. We¡¯ll talk about it after you find a job. It¡¯s best if you can find a job with a higher sry. I¡¯ll help you take a look when I have time. ¡± When it came to money, Qiao Feng¡¯s attitude became more positive. ¡°Alright ...¡± She nodded helplessly. At that moment, Zhao Hai ¡®er nced at the bank card in Qiao Lei¡¯s hand. There was 350000 Yuan in it, and she felt extremely unbnced. However, she knew very well that it was useless even if she was upset because Qiao Feng and Liu Yun did not care about her at all. Qiao Lei was the hope of the Qiao family and the candidate to carry on the family line. ¡­¡­¡­ Joesse did not know about the Qiao family¡¯s situation for the time being, but detective Wen would tell her soon. She was at the Zheng family, fishing with a few old men. Old master Zheng was right when he bragged about himself. His skills were really good, and he managed to catch many fish in a short time. Everyone had returned with a full load. ¡°Not bad, old Zheng. You actually caught the most this time.¡± Old master Qinughed heartily. His words made old man Zheng smile smugly.¡±¡±That¡¯s right, I¡¯m still the best at fishing. I¡¯ve lived for more than half of my life, and this is the only time I can calmly fish. ¡± The few old men were extremely happy. They packed up their fishing gear and walked towards the Zheng family. Joes stopped in her tracks and took out her phone to look at the time. She said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I might need to go back first.¡± Old master Zheng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.¡±¡±This early? Why don¡¯t you stay a little longer, sisi? You can eat here too, I¡¯ll tell the kitchen. ¡± Joes shook her head and said with a smile,¡±¡±Thank you for your kind intentions, Grandpa Zheng. It¡¯s just that there¡¯s something I need to deal with at thepany, so I have to rush back earlier.¡± She had stayed at the Zheng family¡¯s house for a long time today, but she had to admit that she had learned a lot. Whether it was from old master Zheng or old master Qin. They had been through a lot, and their views on many things were alsopletely different from joesse ¡®s. In short, he had benefited a lot this time. Since Jossi had already said so, old master Zheng did not keep her any longer. He nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright then, sisi, you can go back first. Be careful on the road.¡± ¡°If you have time next time, we can meet up again, sisi. You¡¯re much smarter than Zheng.¡± It was Grandpa Chen. The kind smiles on their faces made Joes feel warm inside. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll definitelye next time if I have the time. Please don¡¯t despise me.¡± Joes said humbly. ¡°Why would we? we couldn¡¯t wait for you toe.¡± Grandpa Chen said. Even old master Qin, who had always liked to scold people, agreed with this statement.¡±¡±Old Chen is right.¡± After greeting them, joesse did not stay any longer and turned to leave the Zheng family. Chapter 370 - Catch this gift properly

Chapter 370: Catch this gift properly

She received a call from detective Wen just as she got into the car. Jossi put on her Bluetooth Earphone and answered the phone while driving. She was multitasking, but she was very careful with both sides. ¡°Detective Wen, why did you call me all of a sudden?¡± She asked in confusion, but she knew that something must have happened. And ... It should be rted to the Qiao family. Joesse had previously entrusted detective Wen to solve the problem of the joesse family and had even given him a considerable reward. ording to detective Wen¡¯s professional ability, so many days had passed, and there should have been some progress. As expected, Joes ¡®guess was not wrong at all. On the other end of the phone, detective Wen smiled and said,¡±¡±I do have something to tell you, miss Qiao. It¡¯s the Qiao family that you entrusted me to¡¯ take care ¡®of.¡± ¡°What happened to them?¡± Detective Wen took a moment to organize his words before he continued,¡±¡±I¡¯ve been keeping an eye on him recently. Today, Qiao Feng returned to city h from the small town.¡± It was a short sentence, but it contained a lot of important information. Joes looked straight ahead, but her hands on the steering wheel could not help but pause as she narrowed her eyes. It seemed that Qiao Feng had sold the house in the town to pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debt. ...... Their family was not at the end of their rope yet. At least, they could still have some money left from selling the house even after paying off their debts. ¡°Ha ...¡± Qiao sisiughed coldly. Qiao Feng had really put in a lot of effort for this son of his. He was simply too biased towards his son. Previously, when he wanted to get some money for Qiao Lei, he had also set his sights on her. But no matter what, Joes had already cut off all ties with this vampire family. All she needed to do was to stay calm and that would be enough. ¡°The money should have been brought back. I also found out that Qiao Lei is going to the casino tomorrow to find boss long and the others to return the money.¡± Detective Wen¡¯s information was urate. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± The corners of Joes ¡®lips curled up slightly as she already had a n in mind. Since Qiao Lei was going to return the money tomorrow, she could y along. Qiao Lei was a person who would not gamble anymore on the surface. In reality, as long as he could see hope, he would not hesitate to throw himself into the bet. Joes was certain of this. After all, she had lived in the Qiao family for a period of time. She was clear about this. At the thought of this, Joes did not hesitate and said to detective Wen,¡±¡±Detective Wen, can I trouble you to give me the address of the casino? I¡¯ll make time to go tomorrow. I don¡¯t want Qiao Lei to get away so easily. ¡± In order to pay off his debt, Qiao Lei had not done anything until now. However, Qiao Feng had already sold his house, which meant that they had no way out. Only city h could let them continue living because Yang Yue Yue had helped them rent a house. Detective Wen didn¡¯te back to his senses for a moment. After a while, he said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, you¡¯re also going to the casino?¡± ¡°Naturally,¡± Joes nodded slightly. Seeing how determined she was, detective Wen did not say anything. Instead, he said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll send you the address tonight.¡± Detective Wen knew where the casino was, so he agreed to it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, detective Wen.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, miss Qiao. ¡± Not long after he hung up, his phone vibrated. He had received two text messages. Joes was driving and could not watch. However, a few minutester, she stopped at a traffic light. Seeing that it had just turned red, joesse raised her eyebrows and picked up her phone to look at the content. In addition to the casino¡¯s address, the other message was a file sent over. ¡°This is ...¡± Joes immediately guessed that detective Wen must have found something else, but he did not mention it over the phone. With an idea in mind, she curiously opened the document and saw a photo. The address and name of the person were written below the photo, as well as some basic information. When she saw the photo, joesse¡¯s expression turnedplicated, and a hint of anger could be vaguely seen. The photo on the phone was of Qiao Feng, and there was a middle-aged woman beside him. She wasn¡¯t very pretty, butpared to Liu Yun, one could see the difference. At least, this woman knew how to take care of herself. The two of them were behaving intimately. It was night time in the photo, and behind them was a hotel. Shameless! Jossi cursed under her breath. She was no fool. After seeing the photo, she knew what was going on. At the same time, many thoughts emerged in his mind. Many years ago, Qiao Feng had gotten together with Liu Yun in the same way. At that time, he had already been married. Not only that, she even had a child. However, he still couldn¡¯t resist this temptation and ended up like this. ¡°Toot ...¡± Just as Joes was deep in thought, a horn suddenly sounded from behind her, jolting her back to her senses. The person behind him stuck his head out of the window and shouted,¡±¡±The person in front, the traffic light has already passed. Why aren¡¯t you driving?¡± Upon hearing this cry, Jossi also pulled down the window and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry. ¡± After saying that, she started the car and drove in the direction that Xing Yuan had designed. Joes ¡®thoughts had been disrupted by the photo and the information, so she did not notice the change in the traffic light. To be honest, she really didn¡¯t expect such a thing to happen. However, she was not too surprised. After all, Qiao Feng was not a good person to begin with, and she could not expect him to be loyal to Liu Yun. Besides, Liu Yun was just a mistress who hade between another man¡¯s marriage. He just didn¡¯t know how she would react after she found out about this. ¡°You can¡¯t live with your own sins. What you did in the past, now it¡¯s your turn to pay. I hope ... That you can properly receive this gift. ¡± Qiao sisi smiled. She had a clear conscience. She did not do this, it was Qiao Feng¡¯s own decision. Perhaps this wouldn¡¯t have happened in the small town. But now that he was in city h and had met more people, Qiao Feng might be tempted. The more chaotic the Qiao family was, the happier Qiao sisi was. After sorting out her thoughts in her mind, she arrived at Xing Yuan design in a short while and parked the car in the underground parking lot. Joes took the elevator up in her high heels and took a look at the second floor. Lin ya and the others were working on the second floor. They were so engrossed in their work that they did not notice Jossi¡¯s arrival. They only reacted when someone said,¡±Hello, President.¡± Chapter 371

Chapter 371: Nothing to say

¡°Sis...Oh no, President, why are you here?¡± Lin ya immediately stood up from her seat and greeted. She had a happy expression on her face. Even though they worked in the samepany, they did not have many chances to meet each other because of Joes¡¯s busy schedule. Wang Li, who was also at the side, smiled.¡±¡±President.¡± The office was filled with the same voices. It was clear that joesse had quite the authority in thepany. Looking at their expressions, Joes revealed a faint smile.¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just here to see how your work is going. ¡± In recent days, the cooperation with several otherpanies had also begun. Thepany was once again in a busy state. They received a lot of jewelry orders, all of which required Lin ya and the others to design. Even though it was busy, the atmosphere in thepany was still very good. Lin ya raised her brows at Qiao sisi¡¯s words,¡±¡±I see, President. We were working very hard just now.¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve never neglected him.¡± The other employees also agreed, and the atmosphere in the office was rxed. ¡°Alright, you guys can continue with your work. I¡¯ll be going up first.¡± Joes nodded slightly. ...... In addition to preparing for the charity Association in two weeks, she also needed to prepare a set of unique jewelry. It was also known as the ¡®deep sea¡¯. It still needed to be perfected, and Joes would personally oversee some of the processes. ¡°Alright, goodbye, President!¡± Lin ya waved her hand. Just as Jossi was about to leave, Lin ya suddenly remembered something and quickly said,¡±¡±President, wait!¡± After she said that, Joes¡¯s footsteps stopped. She turned her head in confusion and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin ya didn¡¯t stop her for no reason. After she turned around, she quickly pulled out a gift box from the drawer. ¡°This is ...¡± Joes looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box and was stunned. Lin ya blinked and handed over the gift box.¡±¡±Here¡¯s a book for you. I think it¡¯ll help you.¡± Books? Hearing this word, Qiao sisi was even more confused. She used to be Lin ya¡¯s colleague at Shiyupany. The two of them usually went to work and went to work together. asionally, they would go out to eat. Naturally, they knew each other a little. Lin ya didn¡¯t usually like to read, so why did she suddenly give her a book today? Many questions popped up in her mind, but Joes did not think too much about it and took it with a smile. ¡°Alright, since it¡¯s a gift from you, I¡¯ll ept it.¡± After saying that, joesse waved the gift box in her hand and said,¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, President. ¡± Lin ya seemed to have gotten what she wanted. She smiled so brightly that Wang Li¡¯s mouth twitched. However, Joes had already turned around and left, so she did not notice Lin ya¡¯s expression. Otherwise, he could probably guess what it was. After joesse left, the office fell silent. Lin ya looked at joesse¡¯s departing back and sat back in her seat in satisfaction, looking at theputer screen in front of her. Many of the colleagues around them were curious about the gift. At this moment, someone asked softly,¡±¡±Lin ya, what did you give me?¡± ¡°You said it¡¯s a book, so it shouldn¡¯t be an ordinary book, right?¡± Lin ya made a shushing gesture and said in a low voice,¡±¡±It¡¯s a secret, I can¡¯t tell you. ¡± The colleagues looked at each other, not knowing what to say. However, since Lin ya said that she had no intention of telling anyone, the other colleagues all kept their mouths shut and didn¡¯t ask further. Only Wang Li was different. She scanned the office to make sure that no one was paying attention to the two of them before she heaved a sigh of relief. She inched closer and asked Lin ya in a voice that only the two of them could hear,¡±¡±Tell me, what did you give me? I¡¯m the one who asked, you can¡¯t possibly not answer, right?¡± After she finished speaking, she looked straight at Lin ya. Lin ya seemed to be hesitating. After a long while, she said,¡±¡±But the fewer people who know about this, the better. And can¡¯t you just guess for yourself? I don¡¯t like to read, what kind of book can I give sisi?¡± In private, Lin ya preferred to call Qiao sisi sisi, which was a habit she had developed. Of course, in order to maintain thepany¡¯s rules, she would never call herself that in public. After hearing that, Wang Li fell into deep thought. Not long after, she revealed a surprised expression and almost cried out in surprise. Fortunately, she managed to suppress it in the end. Wang Li pursed her lips tightly and scanned the office again. She then asked nervously,¡±¡±I say, Lin ya, is this ... The book we saw in the shopst time?¡± The events of that day were still vivid in her mind. That day, Wang Li and Lin ya had made an appointment to go shopping together. They happened to find a dusty book in a store. The title of the book was extremely ¡°shocking¡±. It was about how Yingluo and her boyfriend/husband improved their rtionship. When they saw the title of the book, Wang Li and Lin ya were shocked. She didn¡¯t want to read it, but she didn¡¯t expect Lin ya to be so interested in it. He even opened it and looked at it with great interest. The content was also rted to this. Anyway, Wang Li didn¡¯t read it much, and the content was probably only known to Lin ya. At that time, Wang Li didn¡¯t think much of it, but when she thought about what happened today, she felt that Lin ya gave her this book. Sure enough, she had guessed correctly. Lin ya¡¯s eyes flickered, and she said guiltily,¡±¡±How did you guess it so quickly?¡± ¡°No way, you really gave that to sisi?¡± Wang Li really didn¡¯t expect Lin ya to be so bold as to give away such a thing. It wasn¡¯t that Jossi would be angry when she saw the book, but she would probably feel the same way as him when she saw the title. Just like that day, Wang Li could not ept it. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Sisi and I are close. She knows that I don¡¯t mean anything by it. It¡¯s just a small gift for her.¡± Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but clear her throat and add,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t give this book to you wrong. Sisi and President Zheng seem to be together. She didn¡¯t say anything, but I can tell that giving this book ... Might have a miraculous effect. ¡± Her observation skills were quite sharp, and she had noticed it from Joes ¡®abnormal behavior thest time. Wang Li was surprised for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. The corner of her mouth twitched as she said,¡±¡±Forget it. You¡¯ve already given it to me, so I have nothing to say. Take care of yourself.¡± She helplessly shifted her position and moved away from Lin ya. She didn¡¯t know if her low IQ was contagious, so it was better for her to stay away. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Lin ya mumbled. Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Are you really going to do this?

Joes was not aware of the incident in the office. She had already returned to the office with the book. She ced the exquisite gift box on the table and picked up a pen. ¡°The book ...¡± He mumbled to himself, but his curiosity still prevailed. Joesse¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she opened the gift box. She saw apletely wrapped book inside. She was stunned when she opened the package. Identical to Wang Li¡¯s reaction, Joes stared at the name on the cover in a daze, unable to regain her senses for a long time. ¡°How do you improve your rtionship with your boyfriend/husband?!¡± Joes could not believe what kind of book she had received, and she did not even have the mood to open it. No wonder. She finally understood that Lin ya didn¡¯t like to read. What books could she have given her? Joes gritted her teeth and put the book aside, cursing in her heart,¡±¡±Lin ya, you¡¯re good!¡± As expected, Lin ya had indeed noticed something, and that was why she had given him this book. However, she had no intention of hiding her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi. She just had not thought of how to tell the public. ...... Jossi was not prepared to read this book. She picked up the pen again and flipped open the document in front of her to read every regtion carefully. However, while she was reading the documents, her eyes couldn¡¯t help but fall on the book. Joesse was speechless. What was she doing?! Feeling extremely guilty, joesse lowered her head. Even though there was no one around, she still covered her face in embarrassment. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a look?¡± Joes was a little conflicted, but in the end, this thought prevailed and she picked up the book. She looked around guiltily. After making sure that there was no one around, she opened the book. The content wasn¡¯t what he had imagined. On the contrary, it was refreshing and refined. After briefly browsing through it, Joes surprisingly found that it seemed to be really useful. ¡°Theme parks, dates, and trips.¡± The three points written in the book left the deepest impression on Joes, and they were also the ones she felt were the best. If she could go with Zheng ze ... That scene appeared in Joes¡¯s mind. She smiled and ced the book on the table. Then, he picked up the document and started to read it. Two hours had passed by the time he was done with the documents, and the sky was gradually turning dark. Joes stretchedzily and took out the ¡°deep sea¡± design from her drawer. The design was still the same as before, and the set of jewelry on it carried her inner dream. It was just that until now, it had not been produced yet. Joes picked up the design and nced at it under the light. She could not help but pick up her paintbrush and start designing. Inspiration suddenly gushed out like a fountain, and even she herself did not expect it. In the meantime, Millie knocked on the door, making a knocking sound. Upon hearing this voice, Joes, who had been immersed in her design, finally snapped out of her daze. She raised her head and said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± Millie, who was standing outside the door, walked in and said,¡±¡±President, everyone is off work now. Are you ... Still not leaving?¡± Upon hearing this, Jossi finally reacted and nced at the clock hanging on the wall. Sure enough, the time had already jumped to 6:30 in the evening. It was estimated that everyone in thepany had left except for the employees who worked overtime. Millie should be leaving soon. Joes pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go backter. You can go first. ¡± ¡°Then ... Alright, President. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Millie nodded and bade Jossi goodbye before leaving the office and walking towards the main door. It was eighto¡¯ clock in the evening. In the entire building, only three floors were still lit, which was the office that Joes was in. After a few hours, she finally finished the design. ¡°Phew, I¡¯m finally done.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with unconcealed joy. She picked up her design and gave it a look, then revealed a satisfied smile. Compared to the beginning, it was more than twice as good. She was sure that once the ¡°deep sea¡± series of jewelry was put on the market, it would attract everyone¡¯s attention soon. Joes had absolute confidence in this. It was also the confidence that came from her working in this industry for so long and designing so many works. ncing at the dark sky, joesse had no intention of staying any longer in thepany and kept the design drafts in her bag. On the surface, thepany seemed fine, but no one could guarantee that it would be fine. As such, joesse was still worried about leaving the design drafts in thepany and decided to bring them home. What she didn¡¯t know was that this thought had indeed helped her a lot. After returning home, Joesid on her bed and fell asleep. After a busy day, all her fatigue seemed to have overwhelmed her. In the quiet room, only the soft sound of breathing could be heard. On this day, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions overseas were Swift and decisive. He had already settled the contract. ording to today¡¯s schedule, Zheng Zeyi and assistant li had indeed met the president of Marui and were almost done with the discussion of the project. As for the other few who came to learn, he didn¡¯t see them. The CEO of mari was worried that Zheng ze would get angry, so he canceled the decision in the end. After all, Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t look for Minrui to work with him on this project because he needed help. It could only be said that it was a win-win event for both sides, so Zheng Zeyi did not have to be with the other party. The CEO of mari was well aware of this, so he canceled the decision that might anger people. The reason he did this was because of one of the women in charge of the studies. She was his daughter. If they could get close to Zheng Zeyi, the cooperation between mari and the Zheng Corporation would be set in stone. A luxury car was driving on the road. There were two blonde-haired and blue-eyed men in the car, as well as a foreign woman with wavy hair and a sexy long dress. ¡°Zhu Di, are you really going to do this? If you do that, the president will be angry. ¡± One of the men spoke a foreignnguage fluently. After hearing his words, the woman called Zhu Di looked at him indifferently.¡±¡±Ma Li, dad will not say anything about my decision. Besides, I¡¯m very interested in that Zheng Zeyi. If he seeds, it¡¯ll be of great help to thepany. ¡± ¡°This ...¡± The two men looked at each other, still in a difficult position. However, Zhu Di was still the daughter of the CEO of mari. Her status was extremely high. The two of them naturally couldn¡¯t stop the decision they had made, nor did they dare to stop it. Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Chapter 374-there are other ways

Thinking of this, Ma Li could only nod helplessly.¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. There was no other way now. Jodie did not bother with him as his eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window, ying with his exquisite nails. She had an arrogant expression on her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile of interest. ¡°Zheng Zeyi ... President Zheng, this is interesting.¡± A slightly seductive female voice sounded and Zhu Di raised his eyebrows. He was even more interested in the rumored Zheng Zeyi now. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day. Joes had changed into an unremarkable gray coat and ck long pants, and let her hair down. It was also to better cover his face and prevent his identity from being discovered. After that, joesse even put on a rather flirtatious and heavy makeup. After pondering in front of the mirror for half an hour, she could barely recognize herself. She had to handle Qiao Lei¡¯s matter personally today. ...... This time, Qiao Lei didn¡¯t do anything and easilypleted the debt of 300000 Yuan. Of course, joesse could not bear to see such behavior. Naturally, he had to do something new to give Qiao Lei something to do in thetter half of his time. He had to properly receive this great gift. At this moment, Joes seemed to have suddenly recalled something and took out the design from yesterday. The design was almost perfect. The most important thing now was to make this set of jewelry named ¡°deep sea.¡± At this thought, Joes took out her phone and sent Miley a text. The general content was to let Miley inform the production department that there was a set of very important jewelry that needed to be made in the next few days. He also told Millie the rough materials he needed and asked the production department to prepare them as soon as possible. This was the face of Xing Yuan¡¯s design team. After production began, she would have to keep an eye on them. To avoid any problems, he could also solve them in advance. After Miley received the message, she replied with an ¡°okay¡± and said that she would mention it to the production department as soon as possible. After seeing this message, joesse felt much more at ease. After preparing everything, she left the blue sky Apartment and drove to the address given by detective Wen. A ce like a casino was also strictly checked in city H. Naturally, it would not be in an open ce. Joes had looked at the address carefully yesterday. It was very well hidden and was an underground casino. It was a Mahjong shop, and there didn¡¯t seem to be anything unusual. In the end, as long as you told the store manager that you wanted to enter the casino, he would lead you to the secret door in the store. After pushing open the secret door, they would arrive at the underground casino. Qiao sisi¡¯s visit this time was also to try and see what kind of disaster Qiao Lei would bring to the Qiao family if he could not resist the temptation again. If she really held back, then she would pretend that she had nevere. A few minutester, the car stopped in front of the Mahjong shop. After Joes got out of the car with her phone and other personal belongings, she saw detective Wen waiting for her at the door. Seeing this, she was a little surprised and quickly walked over and greeted,¡±¡±Detective Wen, why are you here?¡± Indeed, she didn¡¯t think of it, because she had only asked detective Wen to send her an address yesterday. Detective Wen smiled,¡±¡±No matter what, miss Qiao is my employer. If you want toe to the casino to arrange things, of course I have to help. Besides, I have other connections in this casino, so I can make better arrangements for you. ¡± ¡°This ...¡± Joesse was even more shocked. What surprised her was that detective Wen had actually said that he had some special connections in this casino. This also meant that detective Wen¡¯s background was not simple. This was because Joes had checked this casino before she came. It was a huge underground casino withplicated forces. Detective Wen had connections behind the scenes. This was definitely not just a simple sentence. ¡°Detective Wen ... Is he really just an ordinary private detective?¡± This doubt suddenly appeared in Joes ¡®mind. At this point, it could be said that she had already eliminated this thought. ¡°Alright then. Since you¡¯ve already said so, I¡¯d be an ungrateful person if I were to reject you.¡± Joes smiled sweetly and pointed at the Mahjong shop.¡±¡±Shall we go in and take a look?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Detective Wen nodded his head and entered the Mahjong machine shop with joesse. There, he saw a series of Mahjong machines. The boss was resting on a chair. When he saw the two of them, he opened his eyes. ¡°Are the two of you here to buy a Mahjong machine or ...¡± The boss¡¯s puzzled voice entered her ears. Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±Neither, boss, we want to enter the casino.¡± A casino? Sure enough, after the boss heard it, his expression changed instantly. He nced at Jossi and detective Wen. After confirming that there were no problems, he said with aplicated tone,¡±¡±Thene with me.¡± Joes and detective Wen followed behind the shop owner. They walked around a portion of the Mahjong machines and came to a cab. The boss nced at the door. When no one came in, he pushed the cab open and revealed a secret door. Joes felt as if she could hear the noise from within even if she stood in front of the door. Of course, the soundproofing here was still very good. The boss pushed the door open, revealing a dark passage inside. Fortunately, there were lights at the side, so they could still see the road. ¡°Let¡¯s go in. ¡± Joes and detective Wen didn¡¯t hesitate at all. They exchanged nces and walked in. The boss closed the door again after he saw them enter and sat back in his chair as if nothing had happened. As they walked through the passageway, Joes could hear some noises from the casino. She asked curiously,¡±¡±Detective Wen, after we enter the casino, we¡¯ll go in. If he wanted to go out, did he have to go out from this road? Or is there another way?¡± Joes¡¯s voice rang out, and an ethereal echo reverberated through the passageway. ¡°We don¡¯t go out from here,¡± said detective Wen,¡±there are other routes thate and go frequently. It¡¯s easy to expose ourselves.¡± Besides, this Mahjong shop isn¡¯t the only one that came in. It¡¯s just a little more hidden, and that Qiao Lei entered from here. ¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Joes understood and did not continue asking. After walking for a few minutes, she saw another door. Detective Wen seemed to be very familiar with this ce. He pulled the doorknob and pushed the door open. The world inside and outside the door were two different worlds. The moment she opened the door, joesse was shocked by the scene inside. A strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol hit her in the face. She couldn¡¯t help but cover her nose to prevent herself from inhaling the unpleasant smell. Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Chapter 375-can we leave now?

In front of him was a huge casino with many gambling tables and people. With a single nce, Joes could see many people gambling. She frowned slightly at this scene. Such a scene still made people feel a little ufortable. Detective Wen seemed to have sensed her emotions. He raised his eyebrows and asked,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, you probably don¡¯t like this kind of ce, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t really like it.¡± Joes directly admitted. To be honest, she had never seen what a casino looked like. This was her first time, and she had never thought about it. This was probably the reason why Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t quit gambling. Even in the small town he used to live in, he would need Qiao Feng to clean up his mess when he was involved in small gambling. ¡°Then, miss Qiao ... There¡¯s actually another way. There¡¯s a surveince room in this casino, I can take you there.¡± Detective Wen smiled. His words also stunned joesse. ¡°The surveince room?¡± Her tone was a little surprised. She didn¡¯t expect the casino to have surveince cameras. However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. It was not so difficult to ept that there were surveince cameras. After hearing her words, detective Wen nodded his head. He looked around the casino and pointed to the top. ...... ¡°The surveince cameras are all set up in these rtively secret ces. Very few people know about it, but this is also one of the rules of the casino. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll bring you to the surveince room. You can just stay there and watch Qiao Lei¡¯s every move. If there¡¯s anything, I can help you. ¡± Detective Wen was very dedicated to his job, so much so that even Jossi could not help but sigh.¡±Detective Wen, you¡¯re indeed a dedicated detective.¡± She did pay him a lot, but detective Wen had the intention to help. Otherwise, there was no need for him toe to the casino with her. This matter could be figured out even with his toes. ¡°Miss Qiao, you must be joking.¡± After being teased, detective Wen was annoyed and brought Joes to the surveince room. The monitoring room was not far from the door, but very few people knew about it, and very few people coulde in. The security guard at the door was surprised to see detective Wen,¡±¡±Mr. Wen, why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to see if I can enter the surveince room. ¡± He immediately cut to the chase. When the security guard heard this, he was stunned for a moment and quickly said,¡±¡±Of course you can. Who is this?¡± The security guard¡¯s gaze fell on Joes. Clearly, he had never seen Joes before. Detective Wen didn¡¯t say much. Instead, he said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just a friend. Come in with me, okay?¡±he said. The security guard hesitated for a while, looking very troubled. In the end, he still agreed.¡±Alright then. Mr. Wen and thisdy, pleasee in.¡± Joes followed detective Wen into the surveince room and saw arge split screen. From the screen, one could see every corner of the casino, and it was exactly as joesse had imagined. At the same time, they had just entered the casino when Qiao Lei left the Qiao family¡¯s house and rushed over. He yed with the bank card in his hand, and the smile on his face deepened.¡±¡±Three hundred and fifty thousand. The remaining fifty thousand should be enough for me to spend for a while.¡± As for what to do if his family was short of money, he would not do such a thing. Very quickly, Qiao Lei rushed to the Mahjong shop and entered the casino through the secret passage. He instantly attracted Qiao SI¡¯s attention. ¡°They¡¯re here. ¡± Qiao si si raised her eyebrows, her gaze following Qiao Lei who had just entered. She was the only one left in the surveince room. Detective Wen had already left to make some arrangements. If he wanted Qiao Lei to fall for this, there must be a huge and attractive temptation. Detective Wen could make the arrangements. Qiao Lei would not win anyway. As long as he participated, he would lose. All these things needed to be arranged. Joes did not take advantage of detective Wen and promised to give him a handsome reward after hepleted this task. Thinking of this, she stared at the big screen and watched Qiao Lei¡¯s every move. She sent a message to detective Wen,¡±Qiao Lei had already arrived at the casino. Detective Wen replied,¡±understood.¡± After receiving the reply, joesse took a look at it and put her phone back into her pocket. On the other side, after Qiao Lei entered the casino, he went straight to the gambling table that he used to frequent. Sure enough, he saw boss long and his gang at the gambling table. They seemed to have just finished a round of gambling. ¡°After I pay back the money, I¡¯ll use the remaining 50000 to drink some wine and pick up some girls.¡± A wretched smile appeared on Qiao Lei¡¯s face. Since the 350000 Yuan was in his hands, he could not return it. Anyway, he would just take the flowers and wait until they were all spent. When he got home, he could just tell Qiao Feng and the others that this was the interest that boss long wanted and that he really didn¡¯t dare to give it to him. After he had thought things through, Qiao Lei walked forward. His arrival attracted the attention of boss long and the others. ¡°Boss, Qiao Lei is here.¡± After the underling realized it, he immediately went up to boss long and said this. Boss long squinted his eyes and put down the chips he was ying with. ¡°You brat, are you here to return the money?¡± A familiar voice sounded. Hearing this voice, Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t help but feel a little scared. He suppressed the fear in his heart and nodded, saying,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, I¡¯m here to return the money. ¡± Hearing that, boss long nced at him and sat on the chair, crossing his legs casually. ¡°Three hundred thousand, give it to me.¡± It was a familiar amount, without any interest. Qiao Lei heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled awkwardly and took out his phone. ¡°I¡¯ll transfer the money to you, then. ¡± Seeing this, boss long also took out his phone. After waiting for a while, he received a transfer of 300000 Yuan. Not a single bit more, not a single bit less. Boss long raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Lei in surprise.¡±¡±You¡¯ve struck it rich, kid. You actually paid back the money in advance. ¡± He was supposed to be given a week¡¯s time, but only a few days had passed. What they didn¡¯t know was that the Qiao family had to sell their house in their hometown to get this sum of money. ¡°No, no. It was very difficult to get this. Boss long, I¡¯ve returned the money. Can we go now?¡± Finally, Qiao Lei asked carefully. He was also afraid of boss long and his gang. If they had not gambled so hard at the beginning, they would not have owed 300000 Yuan. Besides, boss long wasn¡¯t just joking when he said he would cut off his fingers. If he really couldn¡¯t return the 300000, Qiao Lei wouldn¡¯t have a good life for the rest of his life. His finger wasn¡¯t worth 300000. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. Boss long said casually. Chapter 375

Chapter 375: Is it true?

Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he heard boss long say,¡±¡±Wait,¡± His tone was so cold that one could not help but shiver. Qiao Lei, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks. He turned around and asked in fear,¡±¡±Boss long, is there anything else?¡± Elder longughed out loud when he saw the fear on his face. He patted the table and said,¡±¡±Come and y. If you win this round, you¡¯ll be rich.¡± Qiao Lei quickly waved his hand.¡±¡±No Thanks, boss long. If I lose again, I really won¡¯t be able to pay back this money. We¡¯ve sold thest house we have. If you owe me money, I¡¯ll have to trouble you toe to me, right, boss long?¡± He was trying his best to avoid it, not because he had quit gambling, but because he had no money in his pocket. 50,000 Yuan wasn¡¯t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. Qiao Lei still wanted to keep it to buy some wine and pick up some girls. After saying that, boss long looked at him again.¡±¡±You¡¯ve finally understood. ¡± ¡°No, no, I didn ¡®t,¡± Qiao Lei said humbly. Just as the situation was in a stalemate, Jossi received some bad news in the surveince room. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Miley, what happened at thepany?¡± Joes asked anxiously, standing up involuntarily. ...... On the other end of the phone, Miley was also very anxious.¡±¡±President, the public rtions department just informed us that some of our designs have been exposed on the inte. However, thepany hasn¡¯t used those designs yet, and the locations where they were ced were very secretive, but they still got out. ¡± Was he exposed? Joes¡¯s face turned dark. It seemed like her thoughts fromst night had be a reality. There was definitely a traitor in thepany. Otherwise, something as private as the design n would never be exposed. Some of the designs had been signed with a confidentiality agreement and were ordered by some smallpanies. Now that it was exposed, Xing Yuan design would have to bear somepensation, and it would also affect thepany¡¯s reputation. Joes took a deep breath and asked,¡±¡±How¡¯s thepany doing?¡± ¡°The situation isn¡¯t very good right now. The public rtions department is extremely busy and they want to get rid of all the design drawings on the inte. But too many people saw it, so it¡¯s useless to delete some posts. ¡± Millie said quickly. At this point, she paused and was a little worried.¡±¡±Also, President, I just received a few calls from the Presidents of the smallpanies that we worked with before. The design of the jewelry they ordered was exposed, and now they want us topensate them, and double thepensation. ¡± Joes had also thought of this matter. It was impossible for those people to let go of such an opportunity, and it had indeed caused some losses. ¡°I¡¯ll go back and deal with it now. You have to calm those people down first and tell the public rtions department to be more worried. Don¡¯t let this matter be used by anyone with ulterior motives, understand?¡± Joes immediately made her decision and prepared to leave with her things. It was important to deal with Qiao Lei, but Xing Yuan¡¯s design waspletely different from the Qiao family ¡®s. That was all her hard work, little by little until today, and it was not easy to have today¡¯s results. No matter what, joesse would not allow anyone to do anything to star dors. As soon as she opened the door, she saw detective Wen, who had just returned. He was a little puzzled.¡±Miss Qiao, where are you going?¡± Upon hearing that, joesse¡¯s expression turned serious.¡±¡±Detective Wen, I¡¯ll leave the casino¡¯s matters to you for the time being. I need to go back now and I need to deal with it personally. Sorry to trouble you. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, detective Wen understood the meaning behind his words and nodded his head slightly,¡±¡±Alright, leave this to me. You can go first.¡± ¡°Thank you, detective Wen.¡± Joesse was in a hurry to leave. After saying goodbye, she was about to leave, but just as she moved her feet, she was stunned. She retracted her foot awkwardly and turned around to ask,¡±¡±That ... Detective Wen, where is the exit?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll Take You There. ¡± Detective Wen smiled. He led Joes to another hidden passageway. This was the exit route, and it was more remote than the ce they came from. It also avoided the crisis of being discovered. If this casino was discovered, it would probably be difficult to keep it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Joes stopped in front of the tunnel for a while before walking in. Seeing this, detective Wen returned to the casino and began to activate some of the arrangements he had just made. Qiao sisi was rushing back to deal with thepany¡¯s matters. On Qiao Lei¡¯s side, just as she had expected, he started to be tempted. Although he had rejected boss Long¡¯s offer at first, boss long was not prepared to let him go so easily and increased the temptation. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to try? Besides the three hundred thousand, you should still have some spare cash on you, right?¡± Boss long looked at the bank card in Qiao Lei¡¯s hand. He knew that there was still 50000 Yuan in it. 50,000 Yuan might not be a big deal, but if Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t control himself, then this would be the beginning of his desire. ¡°Yes ... There¡¯s still a little, but not much.¡± Qiao Lei stammered and couldn¡¯t help but tighten his grip on the bank card. ¡°How much?¡± Boss long stared at him. Perhaps it was because of the strong murderous aura on him, Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Facing this gaze, he was truly terrified. He could only honestly answer,¡±¡±Boss long, I only have fifty thousand in my pocket. It¡¯s not enough for the bet. Let¡¯s have another bet next time when I have more money. ¡± Qiao Lei didn¡¯t want to have another huge debt after paying off the 300000 Yuan debt. Seeing his expression, boss long furrowed his brows slightly. Thinking of what detective Wen had said, he made up his mind and offered his greatest temptation.¡±How about this, kid, I¡¯ll give you a chance.¡± ¡°Se...Chance?¡± Qiao Lei did not expect boss long to suddenly say that. He was stunned. Boss long crossed his legs and said casually,¡±¡±We¡¯re not short of money. Since you¡¯ve paid back the 300000, we¡¯ll give you a chance. Let¡¯s have a round of big or small. We¡¯ll use your 50000 Yuan. If you lose, you can give it to us. If you win ... We¡¯ll give you 100000 Yuan!¡± As soon as he said that, even his underlings were stunned. This was basically double the amount. If Qiao Lei lost, he would only lose 50000 Yuan, but if he won, he would get 100000! Qiao Lei was moved. He was stunned for a long time before he said,¡±¡±Boss long, are you serious?¡± ¡°I have no need to lie to you. There are always wins and losses. It¡¯s up to you whether you want this opportunity or not.¡± Chapter 376

Chapter 376: I¡¯ll tell them now

After that, boss long did not look at him again. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring. He looked like he was sitting on a high tform. The underlings looked at each other with envy and mumbled to themselves. ¡°The boss is actually giving this kid a chance. This isn¡¯t fair at all. If he wins, he¡¯ll get 100000.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this kid has gained a huge advantage!¡± In the face of this opportunity, coupled with the encouragement of those people, Qiao Lei was very tempted. He was not as firm as he was at the beginning. He lowered his head slightly, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. ¡°If I win, I¡¯ll get 100000 Yuan. That¡¯s not a small amount. If I can get 100000 Yuan, I¡¯ll be rich!¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes lit up. He had also thought of the possibility of losing. Even if he lost, he would only lose 50000 Yuan. Qiao Lei could ept this result. He was already prepared to squander the 50000 Yuan, but now it seemed that it was better to gamble here. Qiao Lei gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He raised his head and said to boss long,¡±¡±Then, boss long, I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± ...... Sess or failure would be decided by this one move. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s go to the gambling table. I have high hopes for you.¡± Boss long pointed at Qiao Lei and revealed a bold smile. The two of them walked to the two ends of the table and prepared to start. At this moment, everything was under detective Wen¡¯s control. He took a photo and sent it to Jossi. Unfortunately, Qiao sisi did not have the time to look at her phone. She was in a hurry back to Xing Yuan design and could not care about Qiao Lei. ¡­¡­¡­ Ten minutester, Xing Yuan designed. Joes dared to rush back and finally arrived at thepany in the shortest time possible. She parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator upstairs. He took out his phone and saw the message from detective Wen. There was also a message from Zheng Zeyi, but the elevator had already reached the third floor. She thought for a moment and sent Zheng Zeyi a ¡®hold on¡¯ message. Then, she put her phone away and walked towards the office. Millie was waiting anxiously at the door, but when she saw Joes¡¯s arrival, she finally felt a little relieved. ¡°President, you¡¯re finally back.¡± Her tone was anxious. It could be seen that the exposure of the design n had put Xing Yuan under great pressure. ¡°Yes.¡± Joes nodded and opened the office door. Millie followed her in with a stack of documents in her hands. She walked to the desk and asked,¡±¡±Tell me, what¡¯s the progress now?¡± Miley quickly exined to her. While Joes was away, the design n of Xing Yuan design was exposed on the inte. Not only was it spread everywhere on Weibo, but Xing Yuan¡¯s design n had also appeared on major forums. It was simply spread all over the ce. This matter was quickly discovered by Xing Yuan¡¯s public rtions department, and they tried their best to delete those posts. However, at this point, it was useless to delete it. The design n had already been seen by those people. Furthermore, other designpanies would probably see it as well. These designs were basically useless. After that, the bosses of the smallpanies who ced the orders found out about this and began to call Miley one by one, asking forpensation. As both parties had signed a confidentiality agreement, Xing Yuan had to ensure the confidentiality of the design drawings when these smallpanies bought them. Now, it could be said that it was all ruined. ¡°That¡¯s what happened, President. I locked all these designs in the archive room, and no one else has the key except you and me. Thepany¡¯s employees have already checked the surveince cameras, but they haven¡¯t found anything unusual yet. ¡± Millie¡¯s expression was grave as she recounted what had happened today, giving Joes some ideas. She held a pen and turned it gently, but her eyes were fixed on the table. After a long time, Jossi said,¡±calm down the CEOs of the smallpanies first. Tell them that Xing Yuan is going to investigate this matter thoroughly. Tell them not to worry.¡± As long as we find out that it was Xingyuan who leaked the manuscript, thepensation will be paid ording to the contract. ¡± ¡°President ... What if the source is not from Xing Yuan?¡± Millie asked nervously. She was also worried about thepany. If it wasn¡¯t thepany that leaked the script, but an outsider, thepany would have to bear the consequences for no reason. That would be too unfair to the star elemental design! ¡°The source must be from Xing Yuan¡¯s side.¡± Joes knew what Millie was thinking. She raised her head and smiled at her, but her tone was firm. Apany might have people from otherpanies. Moreover, Joes had so many enemies, who knew if one of them had forced her in. He wanted to use this to ... Destroy Xing Yuan¡¯s design! Joes¡¯s eyes darkened as she said,¡±¡±Miley, please calm the public rtions department down. Also, let them release a statement online. Just say that ourpany will investigate this matter thoroughly and thepany will not let off the person who exposed the design. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie said sternly. Joes pondered for a moment again, her fingers slowly turning the fountain pen.¡±¡±Those CEOs who are moring forpensation, tell them toe to thepany in an hour. Wait for me in the guest room. Xing Yuan is also responsible for the exposure of the design n, so let¡¯s sit down and discuss thepensation. ¡± Millie was a little surprised, but she respected Joes¡¯s decision.¡±¡±Yes, President. I¡¯ll go and tell them now.¡± The burden on Millie¡¯s shoulders was very heavy. At the very least, Joes did not trust others to do many things. Soon, Millie went to settle her Affairs, and Joes did not stay idle either. The contracts on the table were all cooperation contracts between her and the CEOs of smallpanies. After they had been decided, Miley had been the one to draft them. Now that the design had been exposed, they had to talk aboutpensation. Joes roughly scanned through thepensation section and a smile appeared on her face. Without hesitation, she closed the contract. All these could be put aside for the time being. The most important thing now was to find the mole in thepany. A person like him who affected the unity of thepany must not stay in thepany. At the thought of this, Jossi left the office and walked towards the surveince room. The security guards in the monitoring room were already checking the surveince cameras. This was the scene that Joes saw when she first arrived. She walked over and asked,¡±¡±How is it?¡± When the security guard saw who it was, he quickly put down his mouse and said,¡±¡±Hello, President. I¡¯ve found the surveince footage from that night.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve found it?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. Chapter 377

Chapter 377: I have never lost it

She didn¡¯t expect to find out so quickly. After all, that person must have been lurking in Xingyuan design to get involved in some important projects in the near future. That person wanted to expose the design n and ruin Xing Yuan¡¯s reputation, but this did not mean that she wanted to expose her identity. Before Jossi¡¯s thoughts could wander, the security guard said awkwardly,¡±¡±Yes, but there¡¯s a problem.¡± Problem? Joes ¡®brows rxed. It seemed like she was right. It was not worth it to expose her identity for a design. If he wasn¡¯t wrong, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to find anything from the surveince cameras. Sure enough, in order to prove it, the security guard clicked his mouse and pulled up the surveince footage of people approaching the archive room in the past few days. The entire screen was ying, and Joes stood by the side and watched it seriously. However, she did not see any suspicious figures. No one had passed by the archive room, except for Millie. One by one, the dates were yed, and finally, Joes found something amiss on the big screen. ¡°Here, freeze!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes immediately turned sharp and she immediately asked the security guard to freeze one of the split-screen images. ...... As for the split-screen surveince, the image seemed to have been suddenly blurred by something and could not be seen clearly at all. Joes furrowed her brows.¡±Lil ¡®Wang, help me take a look. How long has this situation been going on in the surveince?¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± After receiving the order, the security guard, little Wang, did not dare to dy and directly turned the time of the video back. Until a few weeks ago, the situation had been the same. However, the person must have realized that this was not a good thing, so he came back and took away the thing that was stuck on the monitor. Joes finally understood that there was something wrong with the surveince camera in the room. Otherwise, it would have recorded the entire scene. ¡°You didn¡¯t notice it just now?¡± Joes nced at Lil ¡°Wang indifferently. Xiaowang knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly waved his hand and said,¡±¡±President, I didn¡¯t check the surveince footage in front of the archive room too long ago. I¡¯ve just started watching it recently. All the surveince cameras in the house have been working recently, and there has never been such a situation. ¡± After hearing this, joesse¡¯s expression softened a little. She nodded and said,¡±take a look. From the beginning to the end, it took a week.¡± On thest day, that person solved the problem of the surveince camera. ¡± Little Wang quickly moved the mouse and carefully observed the time on the screen.¡±¡±That¡¯s right, President. It¡¯s about a week¡¯s time.¡± ¡°Okay, don¡¯t let go of the surveince. Monitor it in real time and see if anyone in thepany is up to no good. If there¡¯s anything unusual, just report it to me directly, you hear me?¡± Joes was no longer as gentle as before. At this moment, she looked very resolute and decisive, but it also made the security guard little Wang tremble in fear and admire her. After looking at the surveince footage, Joes did not stay in the control room for long. The main problem now was to find the traitor in thepany. If she did not get rid of this traitor, Joes would not be at ease. This kind of person was like a rat hiding in the gutter. Usually, he didn¡¯t show off, but at the critical moment, he could always give you a heavy blow in the back. For example, this time, Xing Yuan was caught off guard, which was why the traitor had taken advantage of him. Joes walked forward with a dark expression. She did not suspect Millie. After all, Miley was from Hengyuan investment. She used to work there and was someone that Chen zuolin valued. Although it was a waste of talent to be assigned to this smallpany, Xing Yuan design had great potential. Millie was well aware of this, and she would never do something that would harm others without benefiting herself. After a while, Joes¡¯s footsteps stopped in front of the public office on the second floor. She paused for a moment, then left for Miley¡¯s office on the third floor. If he wanted to trick the person behind this, he first had to have some vague evidence to make him feel a sense of crisis. During this period, Miley had already contacted the Presidents of the smallpanies that were cooperating with star dors. After they heard the news about Jian Jia, theypletely ignored what Millie said about an hourter. They all agreed toe to star Yuan now. The CEOs of these smallpanies also wanted an exnation for the leak of the design n. Joes did not know about this matter for the time being, but she would find out very soon. After the incident, Millie had already given the key to the archive room to Joes. There were only two keys to the archive room. Logically speaking, no one should be able to enter. ¡°President.¡± Millie put down her phone and said respectfully when she saw Joes. ¡°No.¡± Joes shook her head slightly.¡±What did the Presidents say?¡± After saying that, Millie said with some difficulty,¡±¡±President, those people have said that we must give them an exnation for this matter. I¡¯ve just told the Presidents that we¡¯ll investigate this matter thoroughly and find out who¡¯s behind it. ¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± After that, Joes took out the key to the archive room and ced it on the table. ¡°This is ...¡± Millie was confused and didn¡¯t know what to say. Joes smiled and asked,¡±don¡¯t worry. I just wanted to ask you if anyone touched the key to the archives room these past few days.¡± Or rather, have you ever been lost somewhere and found it again?¡± This was one of joesse¡¯s thoughts. Since the person behind this didn¡¯t have the key to the archive room, he must have tried to make a copy of it. ording to the current method, as long as the shape of the key and the lock were imprinted, it would not be a difficult thing to find the Masters who opened the lock. Millie fell into deep thought and tried to recall what had happened recently. ¡°I¡¯ve never lost something as important as the key to the archive room. I usually keep it with me, and no one has seen it often.¡± Miley said. After hearing this, joesse furrowed her brows slightly. Could she have been wrong? ¡°But ...¡± Things had taken a turn for the better. Millie¡¯s memory was a little blurry, but she still remembered a small thing that happened a week ago. ¡°I remember it happened a few days ago. I just came back from the archive room with the key in my hand. After I went back to my desk, I temporarily put the key on the table and didn¡¯t put it away. ¡± Chapter 378

Chapter 378: I really didn¡¯t expect it to be her

¡°At that time, the president just happened to call for me. It was just a few minutes. After I came out, I put the key away.¡± Millie enunciated every word clearly. However, after she said this, her face turned pale. Because if things really went ording to this, then the leak of the design of the archive room would definitely be rted to Millie. Miley couldn¡¯t shirk her responsibility for thepany¡¯s crisis. ¡°President ...¡± ¡°It took me two minutes,¡± Millie said nervously.¡±But I know it¡¯s possible.¡± Just as she was about to continue exining, Joesughed and interrupted,¡±¡±I also know that it¡¯s possible.¡± Hearing this, Millie¡¯s eyes darkened. It wasn¡¯t just a possibility. If there were no idents, it was very likely that a small negligence of hers that wasn¡¯t worth mentioning had caused this situation. However, this was definitely not the result Millie wanted to see. Thinking of this, she lowered her head slightly, feeling a little guilty. She felt that this matter had indeed started because of her. In the next second, Joes spoke. ...... ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This kind of mistake can¡¯t be med on you. It happened only a few minutes ago, so I still remember it.¡± Joes smiled brightly and patted Millie¡¯s shoulder to ease her tension.¡±¡±If there¡¯s anything wrong, it¡¯s the fault of that traitor in thepany. To be able to find a loophole in such a short period of time, it seems that you have been nning for a long time. It is normal to be unable to guard against it. You don¡¯t have to feel so guilty. Besides, isn¡¯t there a saying that you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can¡¯t be on guard for a thousand days?¡± After Joes consoled her, Millie¡¯s face looked much better. As the CEO of Xing Yuan design, she naturally could not push all the me on Miley. If someone had to me someone, they should me the person who betrayed them. She had to be clear about her priorities. She was a person from her ownpany. No matter what, Jossi could not let Millie feel disappointed. After that, Millie forced a smile and said firmly,¡±¡±Thank you for your trust, President. I understand. I¡¯ll definitely do my best to handle this matter. ¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to do your best. I¡¯ll give you a mission now.¡± Joes could not help butugh as well. ¡°What ... Mission?¡± he asked. Upon hearing Millie¡¯s curious voice, Joes did not hide anything and told her without hesitation,¡±¡±I¡¯ll go to the surveince roomter and find out who went to the third floor a week ago. As for you, go and gather all the employees in thepany. I¡¯m talking about the designers on the second floor. As for the designers on the first floor ... There¡¯s no need for that for now. ¡± Joes had her considerations for doing so. Usually, people who worked on the first floor wouldn¡¯t have the opportunity toe to the third floor. Now, thepany only had three floors. The second floor was the most important, especially the public office, where all the designers of Xing Yuan design worked. Hence, this was also the main point that Joes suspected. Miley instantly guessed what her President was thinking. She quickly nodded and agreed,¡±¡±I understand, President. I¡¯ll go now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After the two of them reached a consensus, they began to leave in two directions. Joes rushed to the archive room as fast as she could, and Millie arrived at the public office a few minutester. At this moment, no one in the office knew, but they had some understanding of what was happening on the inte. ¡°Knock ... Knock ...¡± A clear knock on the door was heard. Everyone was attracted by the sound and quickly looked up. He saw Millie standing at the door with a serious face. Sensing everyone¡¯s gazes, Millie¡¯s face remained cold. She said sternly,¡±¡±Everyone on the second floor, gather in the hall on the first floor in five minutes. The president has already found out what happened in thepany this time. You must bring everything to the first floor. ¡± Everyone looked at each other. Although they still didn¡¯t know what was going on, they more or less understood the seriousness of the matter. ¡°Understood!¡± Everyone replied. Millie nodded slightly, then turned around to inform the others on the second floor. Meanwhile, the office was in an uproar. ¡°No way, why are we all suddenly asked to gather in the hall on the first floor?¡± ¡°You still don¡¯t know? After what happened at thepany this morning, the president must be angry!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, even the design n has been leaked. Who can sit still? Maybe it¡¯s someone from ourpany who leaked it. ¡± Someone pouted. It was noisy, but most of what was said made sense. Looking at the other colleagues ¡®heated discussion, Lin ya, who was originally very lively, fell silent and frowned. She turned around and asked Wang Li,¡±¡±Lili, do you think there¡¯s a traitor in thepany?¡± She had deliberately lowered her voice when she said this. Even if her emotional intelligence was low, she knew that she could not let anyone hear her words at this time. Hearing that, Wang Li¡¯s expression turned ugly. She said softly,¡±¡±It¡¯s very likely. Sisi should be investigating by now.¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s probably in the group of people in the office. What should I do? everyone looks suspicious to me now.¡± In an instant, Lin ya¡¯s brows furrowed even more, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little vexed. She didn¡¯t have such a feeling before, but Wang Li said that it was very likely. When sisi was investigating, she was almost certain. Now, whenever Lin ya raised her head to look at her colleagues, she felt that they were traitors. When Wang Li heard this, she controlled her urge to roll her eyes.¡±¡±Come on, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. Sisi knows what she¡¯s doing. However, we can¡¯t just do nothing. The people who will gather on the first floorter, keep an eye on them. If there are no idents, they should be hiding inside. ¡± ¡°Okay, I understand,¡± Lin ya nodded. The two of them looked at each other and then looked away. They observed the people around them vigntly. The five minutes given by Millie was not a long time. After the initial stage of surprise, everyone regained their senses. Everyone, including Lin ya and Wang Li, was divided into groups. Some took the elevator, and some took the safety passage. They soon arrived at the hall on the first floor. At that moment, Millie had also finished gathering everyone. She had everyone line up and wait for Joes on the first floor. Thepany¡¯s main door had already been closed. It was still in the stage of dealing with it, so it was better not to let the passersby outside see the internal turmoil in thepany. Not long after, joesse left the surveince room. ¡°I got it, but ... I didn¡¯t expect it to be her.¡± Joes mumbled softly. Her footsteps were extremely fast and she did not stop at all. Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 380 leave it to me

She was holding a ck USB in her hand. He had just asked the security guard, little Wang, to make a copy of a part of the surveince video. It could also be considered evidence. There were not many people who dragged the third floor in and out. Millie still remembered the exact time. After checking, there was only one suspicious candidate left. The corners of Joes ¡®lips curled up slightly. The moment she reached the lobby on the first floor, she saw a dense crowd of people. They were all employees on the second floor. ¡°Everyone¡¯s here?¡± Hearing her question, Miley took a few steps forward and nodded.¡±¡±That¡¯s right, President. Everyone on the second floor has arrived.¡± ¡°Very good,¡± he said. Joes gave a slight smile, but the smile at the corner of her mouth carried a hint of coldness. She might be able to tolerate other things, but it was impossible for her to do this. She had crossed the line. Lin ya and Wang Li, who were in the crowd, were also silent. They carefully observed the people around them. It was very likely that they were the so-called traitors. After a moment of silence, joesse finally spoke,¡±¡±Everyone should know why I called you down, right?¡± It was clearly a question, but it inexplicably made people feel a chill behind their backs. Everyone looked at each other and felt some fear in their hearts, but they still replied in unison,¡±¡±I know!¡± ...... How could he not know? The design drawings were all over the inte, and the designers were still in the office. Seeing that their design had been exposed, many of them were flustered and exasperated. They also wanted to cooperate with Joes and find the traitor. A piece of rat sh * t spoiled a pot of good congee. ¡°Since you already know, I won¡¯t mention it again. You know the importance of the design n better than I do. These design drawings were all orders from otherpanies, and they specifically wanted things! However, everything has been exposed!¡± Joes¡¯s tone was extremely sharp. She scanned the crowd with her eyes, as if she could see through one¡¯s thoughts. In an unremarkable corner of the crowd, that person shifted his steps in fear. However, as everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Joes, no one noticed her. ¡°The consequences of this matter are very serious. I¡¯m not trying to scare you, but if something happens, not only will thepany have topensate, but it will also have a certain impact on their reputation.¡± Joes was very clear about this. After this incident, those who wanted to cooperate with Xing Yuan in the future would have to think twice. Who knew if this would happen again? No one wanted to waste their energy, and joesse did not want to give so much star dors aspensation. It was not worth it. So the best way was to find the root of the problem. After joesse¡¯s words, the crowd became even more flustered. He didn¡¯t feel that way when he was in the office, but now that he was standing here, he felt what the CEO said. Other than the traitor, the other employees were all designed by Xing Yuan. Thepany¡¯s situation would also affect their future. At this time, most people knew this and knew that they should be United against traitors. Very quickly, someone couldn¡¯t help but speak up. ¡°President, you¡¯re right. Thepany belongs to all of us. Why should we let that rat¡¯s sh * t ruin our entire table?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, President. We also hope to find that traitor and teach him a good lesson!¡± ¡°All hail the mighty President!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The hall on the first floor started to get noisy. Looking at everyone¡¯s sense of belonging, Joes could not help butugh. The incident of the traitor had made the employees feel a deeper sense of belonging to thepany. He didn¡¯t know if this was a good or bad thing. ¡°It¡¯s good that you have this awareness,¡± she said after some thought.¡±But I will never let that traitor go.¡± After saying that, joesse walked closer and stood in front of the group of employees. ¡°I¡¯ve found the evidence and I know how she got the key to the archive room. Now ... I¡¯ll give that traitor a chance. Come out now and I¡¯ll let bygones be bygones. If he doesn¡¯te out!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were sharp, and her lips curled into a mocking smile. It was unknown if the traitor hidden in the crowd could withstand such pressure. ¡°If you don¡¯t stand up, then I won¡¯t show any mercy. Otherpanies won¡¯t ept people like you. Do you really think that the person behind you will help you after you get into trouble? you¡¯ve worked for Xing Yuan for so long, so I think you should be clear about this. ¡± Joes¡¯s tone was rather thought-provoking. Even though she did not look at the flustered person in the corner, But in reality, his mind was paying attention to her. Joes had already found out about her existence from the surveince video. She said this in hopes of giving her a warning. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The crowd was in an uproar, looking at each other, not knowing what to say. Joes did not waste any more time and said,¡±¡±Now ... The names I call out will stay, the rest will go back to work on the second floor!¡± After she finished speaking, she reported the three names,¡±¡±Long Qian, Lin ya, and Wang Li, you three stay.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± Everyone¡¯s heart was filled with this thought as they looked at the three people in disbelief. Lin ya and Wang Li looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know why joesse wanted them to stay. However, she knew that she must have found a way or that the matter was rted to them. Everyone¡¯s gazes were filled withplicated emotions. However, since Jossi had already said so, they did not dare to dy any further and slowly dragged their feet out of the hall on the first floor. After a while, only a few of them were left in the hall on the first floor. Millie looked on from the side, her expression unclear.¡±¡±President, now ...¡± ¡°Just leave it to me.¡± Joes gave her a reassuring look, indicating that she would handle this matter well. Then, she walked to the front of Lin ya and the other two who were left behind. After looking around several times, her eyes finally fell on Long Qian. Seeing this, Long Qian was shocked. When she first knew that she had been left behind, she almost understood that she had been discovered. However, he still felt a little flustered when Joes was staring at him. ¡°President.¡± Long Qian said weakly. She could not help but take a step back. After Lin ya and Wang Li saw it, they had a guess in their hearts. Lin ya, in particr, was shocked. She had a good rtionship with Long Qian and often had afternoon tea and meals with her. She really did not expect it to be this person! Joes nced at Long Qian and did not speak to her. Instead, she turned her head and asked,¡±¡±Xiaoya, Lili, did you finish the design a few days ago?¡± Chapter 380 - tell me the details

Chapter 380: Chapter 381-tell me the details

It would be faster to ask Lin ya and Wang Li about this. They thought for a moment, and Lin ya was the first to speak.¡±¡±There was such a thing, about a week ago.¡± Wang Li nodded and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. We just finished that part of the design and sent it to Miley¡¯s assistant.¡± They were all designs to be sold, and their importance was beyond words. The bosses of other smallpanies also chose to buy ready-made designs that had not yet appeared on the market for the sake of results. After hearing their words, Joes nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±Then let me ask you, did the two of you personally send the design n?¡± At this point, the scene fell silent. No one spoke for a long time. Even Lin ya, who had always been lively, was silent at this moment. Because ... They really didn¡¯t give it to her personally. This was an oversight and a mistake that had caused thepany¡¯s current situation. Lin ya looked at Long Qian with aplicated expression. She had never thought that a good colleague would choose to betray her. What could this leave behind? Receiving Lin ya¡¯s gaze, Long Qian lowered her head guiltily. She looked away slightly, not wanting to meet Lin ya¡¯s eyes. Wang Li, on the other hand, was much calmer, because her rtionship with Long Qian was not that good. ...... ¡°Then it seems like I don¡¯t have to say much about what¡¯s happening now, right?¡± Joesughed. Since the matter had already beenid bare, there was no point in hiding it. Everyone¡¯s eyes were on Long Qian. After the initial tension, she calmed down. Taking a deep breath, Long Qian stepped forward and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me,¡± She chose to admit it. Hearing this, Lin ya also lowered her eyes and looked away, hiding theplicated emotions in her eyes. Qiao si looked straight at Long Qian and raised her eyebrows,¡±¡±Tell me, why did you do this? What benefits did the person behind this give you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no benefit to it. I¡¯m doing this of my own will.¡± Long Qian raised her head with a determined look on her face. It seemed that she did not want to expose the person who was instigating her. Hearing that, Jossi inched closer to her, a smile on her face.¡±¡±Do you think you¡¯re touched by your refusal to submit?¡± Jossi could actually guess who the person behind her was. Of course, it was just a guess. No one could be sure without a definite answer. Now, she was even more certain that at least that person gave Long Qian a sense of belonging and she was willing to work for him. But ... It was really strange. How did that kind of person do it? Putting aside Qiao si SI¡¯s doubts, Long Qian¡¯s expression changed after hearing her words.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t think that way.¡± Joes sneered and did not say anything. At that moment, Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but say with an angry look,¡±¡±Long Qian, why don¡¯t you tell us why you did that? Thepany has been treating you well. Even if you¡¯re on leave, the president gave everyone paid leave. ¡± Hearing this, Long Qian fell silent. It was obvious that she didn¡¯t want to answer this question. ¡°It¡¯s not thepany¡¯s fault,¡± she said after a long time.¡±It¡¯s not the president¡¯s fault. It¡¯s my fault.¡± With that, Long Qian heaved a long sigh of relief and looked at Qiao si,¡±¡±President, this is my fault.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of you admitting it now!¡± Lin ya was extremely angry. After she shouted, she continued,¡±¡±It¡¯s already happened. What are you being so hypocritical about?¡± She had never liked this kind of betrayal, so it was normal for her to act like this. Moreover, joesse felt that Lin ya was right. At this point, a verbal apology was useless. Long Qian seemed to be aware of her current situation. She said softly,¡±¡±If ... President still believes me, I cane out and rify that this matter was all because of me.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use!¡± Lin ya red at her, her heart filled with anger.¡±¡±Can you rify why you did that in the first ce?¡± It was possible to rify, but the impact of the matter had already been brought over! The star dorspensation was also something that had to be done. Joes patted Lin ya¡¯s shoulder and said,¡±¡±Alright, you guys can go up first. Let me have a private chat with Long Qian.¡± ¡°But President ...¡± Lin ya was a little worried, but joesse gave her a reassuring look in the end, indicating that it was fine. Seeing this, Lin ya had no choice but to leave with Wang Li. Miley also left the ce with keen eyes. Only Qiao si si and Long Qian were left in therge hall. The people at the front desk and the other people working on the first floor were all like quails with their necks shrunk. No one dared to say a word. Joesughed and walked towards the elevator, saying,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go up and talk. There are still many things I haven¡¯t asked you. ¡± By the time long Qian came back to her senses, joesse had already walked far away. ¡°A lot of things?¡± She mumbled softly. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she decided to follow after thinking for a moment. In the end, the two of them sat face to face in the office. Joes had a carefree look on her face as she poured herself a cup of hot tea. She picked up the teacup with her slender fingers and nced at Long Qian.¡±¡±Want some?¡± ¡°Thank you, President. I ... Don¡¯t want to.¡± Long Qian quickly shook her head, feeling a little uneasy. After taking a sip of her tea, joesse went straight to the point and smiled,¡±¡±Why did you choose to help the person behind this?¡± Hearing this familiar question, Long Qian¡¯s heart clenched, and even the hand that was holding the corner of her clothes tightened. After taking a deep breath, Long Qian said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no one behind this. This is all my own doing.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Joes said with a deeper meaning. However, she did not continue to dwell on this topic and changed it. A soft sound was heard and Long Qian was attracted by the sound. She followed the direction of Joes¡¯s hand and saw a ck USB sh drive. ¡°You should know what¡¯s inside. Other than the manager, no one else goes up to the third floor. Millie only left the key to the archive room on the desk one afternoon a week ago. You made a copy of the key at that time, right?¡± It sounded like a question, but in reality, Joes¡¯s tone was extremely certain. Long Qian did not intend to hide anything when she was caught. She nodded nervously. ¡°That¡¯s right, I did it,¡± ¡°Tell me the details.¡± Joes was as calm as ever. She held the teacup in her hand and looked straight at Long Qian, listening to her exnation. It was exactly as she had thought. Long Qian was the only one who had leaked the design n. Chapter 381

Chapter 381: Chapter 382-the sinner that everyone hates

Of course, another thing that Joes was certain of was that there was someone else behind Long Qian. Otherwise, with her personality, it would be difficult for her to think of stealing the key and leaking the design. Following the clues step by step, she had almost found the truth. Joes listened attentively. A week ago, that was when Long Qian had the intention to leak the design n. That day, she had brought along the key duplicate. She had originally thought that if she found an opportunity during this period of time, she would imprint the appearance of the key. He did not expect that Long Qian would find an opportunity on the first day. At that time, Lin ya, Wang Li, and the others had just finished the design and needed to hand it over to Miley, but they had other things to do. Long Qian and another colleague volunteered to take on the task. She didn¡¯t have the chance to do so, but when the colleague reached the third floor, he had to go to the toilet. That was why Long Qian was able to make a copy of the key to the archives room so smoothly by herself. It was fortunate that Millie had returned quickly. Otherwise, the designs would have been leaked. Long Qian did not need to say much about what happened after that. Joes was very clear about it. ¡°President, I know I¡¯ve let thepany down by doing this. Since you¡¯ve found out, I¡¯ll go online to clear things up and leave thepany on my own ord.¡± ...... After saying this, Long Qian fell silent. Jossi was not a kind person either. She wanted to keep someone who had betrayed her ownpany. He just had some doubts in his heart and had not asked them yet. He just wanted to get an answer. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve rified things for me, but what about thepensation that the bosses of the otherpanies want if the design is leaked? As an employee of thepany, are you really going to take the me for this?¡± Joes¡¯s tone was rather cold. ¡°I ...¡± Long Qian was rendered speechless by Qiao sisi¡¯s words. After speaking for a long time, she could only say ¡®I¡¯. She had taken it for granted. Did she really think that everything would be fine after she rified? After doing such a thing, an apology and a post to rify the matter, would Xing Yuan design bepletely fine? Joes nced at Long Qian and said,¡±¡±So ... Do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Long Qian said, a little embarrassed. For a moment, the atmosphere in the office fell silent. Of course, this silence did notst long. The one who interrupted her was Jossi. She smiled and said with confidence,¡±¡±Jiang hai, do you know who it is?¡± ¡°BOOM!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Long Qian seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. She was stunned and did not know how to answer. Looking at her expression, joesse was even more certain that the mastermind behind all this was Jianghai. Even if Long Qian had leaked thepany¡¯s design n to the inte, it was impossible for it to cause such a big stir in just a few hours. She was just a small employee and was not powerful enough to control the heat. Therefore, there was only one possibility-someone was behind this. After searching for a suitable candidate in her mind, joesse¡¯s eyes were locked on Jiang hai. Soon, Long Qian realized that there was something wrong with her expression. Her face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. She cleared her throat and pretended that nothing had happened. ¡°I ... I don¡¯t know who you¡¯re talking about.¡± Long Qian¡¯s eyes flickered and she deliberately avoided Qiao si SI¡¯s gaze. However, Joes was staring at her, not missing any expression on her face.¡±¡±Long Qian, I won¡¯t hide it from you anymore. This matter is much more serious than you think. I also know that you might have some special rtionship with Jianghai city. ¡± At this point, joesse paused, her eyes turning sharp.¡±But ... This is not a reason for you to join forces to harm our Xing Yuan!¡± Joes already had an old grudge with Jianghai city, and it was not just once. It was normal for him to frame Xing Yuan. However, colluding with the people in thepany to betray her was something that Jossi could not tolerate. Long Qian was stunned by his words. She frowned and said with some difficulty,¡±¡±President, this wasn¡¯t my intention.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care if this was your intention. I just want to know if that person is Jianghai or not!¡± At that moment, Qiao si SI¡¯s gaze seemed to be able to prate Long Qian¡¯s heart and see through all her thoughts. Just like what happened in the hall downstairs, all the secrets could not be hidden. At this moment, Long Qian knew that there was no point in continuing to hide it. After a long silence, she nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Jianghai. ¡± Sure enough! It was exactly as Joes had thought! Long Qian¡¯s voice was a little dull. It was clear that she was under a lot of psychological pressure to say this. However, this was also his own fault. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, can you tell me everything from beginning to end?¡± Joes smiled slightly, but her grip on the teacup tightened. The anger in his eyes was because of Jianghai. ¡°I guess ...¡± Long Qian heaved a deep sigh. Her fingers were trembling. ¡°Jianghai and I are actually in that kind of rtionship. However, I didn¡¯t choose to be his mistress after knowing that he was rich.¡± At this point, Long Qian had told him everything about her and Jianghai. The two of them were college ssmates. They knew each other in college and started dating at that time. However, after graduation, Jiang hai, who was not a direct descendant, joined the Jiang Corporation and got to know a few socialites from the upper ss. In order for his status to rise to the next level, he chose to marry one of them. After long Qian found out about this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She could not ept the fact that this had happened. However, Jiang hai had told her that he did not want to leave her. He had only epted her in this way because he wanted to climb to the next level. Although Long Qian didn¡¯t believe it, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to do it. In the end, she became Jianghai¡¯s mistress for many years. She was already 30 years old, no longer young, and had no intention of meeting new people. This time, it was also because Jiang hai had said that he wanted her help that she had chosen to do this. In Jianghai, he had gained some favor. However, in thepany, he had be a sinner that everyone hated. After listening to Long Qian¡¯s story, joesse had almost finished her tea. She gently ced the teacup on the table without making a sound. Chapter 382

Chapter 382: Nothing is wrong with what you said

As for whether this matter was true or false, joesse had a conclusion in her heart. She raised her head to look at long Qian, only to see that her eyes were glistening with tears. Her hands were clenched into fists and ced on her knees. The plot of the story was something that Joes had never thought of. However, she was well aware of Jiang Hai¡¯s character. It was not impossible for him to do such a crazy thing. After all, Jiang hai had brought his other femalepanion, Xiao Mei, to the banquet previously. His wife probably did not know about her existence. ¡°I¡¯m the one who let thepany down. ¡± After a long time, Long Qian¡¯s hoarse voice was heard. Joes¡¯s hand froze and she could not help butugh. ¡°You don¡¯t have to keep repeating this. It¡¯s boring. I won¡¯tment on your experience. It¡¯s enough that you¡¯ve told me what happened. I¡¯ll contact Jianghai myself, I don¡¯t need you. You just need to rify things when I tell you, okay?¡± Hearing this, Long Qian could not believe it. It was not because she needed to rify, but because Joes si did not mention any punishment or revenge. Logically speaking, Long Qian had ruined star essence corporation¡¯s reputation and leaked so many design drawings. Qiao si would not let her off so easily. But the result seemed to be different from what he had imagined. ¡°President, is this all I have to do?¡± she asked, her breathing a little rapid. ...... ¡°Yes, but there¡¯s one more thing.¡± Joes nodded slightly.¡±That means that you¡¯re not allowed to continue working in Xing Yuan design. After doing such a thing, thepany can¡¯t keep you.¡± As for where you¡¯re going to work after you¡¯re fired, and whether they¡¯ll ept you or not, that has nothing to do with me. ¡± In Joes ¡®eyes, Long Qian was just a small fry. The most important person was still the one who was hiding in the shadows, Jianghai. He was the main target. As for Long Qian, Qiao si si did not have a good impression of her. However, there was no need to punish her. Perhaps leaving Xingyuan design and being abandoned by Jianghai city was an uneptable oue for her. Moreover, Qiao sisi said that she would be fired by thepany, not that Long Qian had resigned of her own ord. To the outside world, Qiao sisi would also tell the truth and would not purposely leave Long Qian any face. This was the price she had to pay. Not manypanies would dare to hire such a person. Who knew if they would expose theirpany¡¯s things? Seeing that Long Qian had agreed, there was nothing more to say to Qiao si si. She stood up and said,¡±¡±Alright, you can go now. I¡¯ll let you know when I need to clear my name. Remember to go to the Human Resources Department to get your sry. I won¡¯t give you more than that. ¡± With that, Joes turned around and left, heading towards the guest room. Not long after, she also heard a weak ¡°okay¡± from behind. Joes paused for a moment and sneered. She left the office and saw Millie standing outside the door. She was in the office and was dyed with Long Qian for at least ten minutes. In addition to the time wasted at the beginning, the bosses of thosepanies were probably almost here. They might all be waiting in the guest room. ¡°President.¡± Millie greeted Joes when she saw her. ¡°Yes!¡± Joes nodded slightly.¡±Have those people arrived?¡± Millie¡¯s eyes fell on the guest room.¡±¡±They¡¯re already here. I¡¯ve arranged for them to wait in the guest room for the president.¡± In order topensate them, these bosses would have to wait. Jossi raised her eyebrows and pointed to the office behind her.¡±Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll leave Long Qian to you. It¡¯s impossible for you to stay in thepany any longer. Take him directly to the Human Resources Department, get your sry, and leave. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie replied respectfully and went in to deal with Long Qian¡¯s matters, while Joes went into the guest room. As expected, there were many people sitting inside. Every face was familiar, and Jossi had seen most of them before. She walked to thest empty seat and sat down. ¡°Dear presidents.¡± She smiled at the crowd. However, everyone¡¯s expression was not very good. They were only the bosses of some smallpanies, and their business was not that big for the time being. Who knew that just as he was preparing to cooperate with Xing Yuan, this would happen. ¡°President Qiao, you have to give us an exnation on this matter. The contract stated that you will not leak the design to us.¡± The Mediterranean man said. His words also spurred many people to agree with him. ¡°You¡¯re right, director l¨¹. I think that Xing Yuanpany should take full responsibility for this matter!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve spent money on something, and it was suddenly leaked. President Qiao, we¡¯re not trying to scare you!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ As the story went on, the reception room was suddenly filled with noise, as if several ducks were quacking. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, Joes then said,¡±¡±Everyone, quiet down. Let me say a few words.¡± Upon hearing this, the reception room gradually quieted down. After all, everyone was waiting for Xing Yuan¡¯spensation. If they did not give Joes a chance to speak, how could they fight for it? Everyone had their own thoughts, and Joes was very clear about this. She cleared her throat and said,¡±there¡¯s a reason for this. Before you came, ourpany had already thoroughly investigated it.¡± It was thepany¡¯s employees who were possessed and leaked the design. I¡¯m very sorry about this. ¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of being sorry!¡± At this moment, a man interrupted Qiao SI¡¯s words. It was the Mediterranean man who had just been addressed as director Lu. His expression was very unsightly.¡±It¡¯s already been leaked. We don¡¯t want your apology. We want you topensate us.¡± If you don¡¯t give uspensation, we won¡¯t be able to leave the Xing Yuan designpany today!¡± ¡°Me too!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. ¡± These few people were like director Lu¡¯s supporters, as if they had agreed to support him from the beginning. The only people who had not spoken yet were the otherpany bosses who understood the situation very clearly. After hearing their words, Joes¡¯s smile turned cold.¡±¡±From the beginning to the end, I didn¡¯t say a single word that I wouldn¡¯tpensate you. President Lu, if you interrupt me again, I can also see that you have no sincerity to discuss this matter with me!¡± His tone was very sharp. In addition, Joes¡¯s aura was shocking. Almost instantly, all thepany bosses present were stunned. She knew in her heart thatpensation was a must. However, joesse would try her best to minimize thepany¡¯s losses and not let the bosses of otherpanies feel dissatisfied. Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Chapter 384-it will definitely be done well

As she thought of this, Jossi had a rough idea. ¡°Hmph!¡± After hearing what she said, CEO l¨¹ snorted coldly, but he didn¡¯t continue to be arrogant. ncing at the people in the reception room, Joes¡¯s expression was calm as she pulled out a document from the drawer. This document was the cooperation contract that had been drafted at the beginning. Joes flipped through the contract, and only stopped when she reached the use regarding the night of breach of contract. ¡°Xing Yuan was the one who vited the contract first. We can¡¯t deny that, so ... We can pay double thepensation as agreed in the contract.¡± At this point, Joes¡¯s tone was still calm beyond everyone¡¯s imagination. These CEOs looked at each other and didn¡¯t know why she was still so calm when it was time to pay thepensation. In reality, Joes also knew that she could not escape the fact that the design had been leaked and had long made preparations forpensation. ¡°Then we¡¯llpensate ording to the contract!¡± Anotherpany¡¯s CEO suddenly spoke up and took out the contract he had brought. Most of the bosses had brought along the cooperation contract with Xing Yuan design. ...... ¡°Shua shua!¡± The sound of pages being flipped could be heard in the reception room. Joes took a nce at the terms and conditions written on the contract. ording to the rules of star dors vition, thepensation would be double, and the bosses of thesepanies usually paid 200000 or 300000. This meant that Joes would have to spend at least two million dors to settle the consequences of the leaked design. At the thought of this, the look in Joes¡¯s eyes changed slightly. If someone who knew her was here, they would know that she was really angry! Jianghai! She would never let him go! Suppressing the anger in her heart, Joes calmed down and said,¡±¡±Everyone¡¯s contract has a specific amount. The minimum is 200000, and the maximum is 300000. However, there are many who have yet to receive the payment. When you pay to mypany¡¯s ount, I¡¯ll transfer double thepensation to you one by one, and this cooperation will be void. ¡± As if she was talking about an insignificant matter, Joes mmed the contract shut after she finished speaking. These were the people who couldn¡¯t wait to hit Xing Yuan when he was down. If they really didn¡¯t cooperate, it would be Xing Yuan who would benefit. He would just take it that he had spent two million Yuan this time and had seen through some things. He also knew who was plotting against him behind his back. It was not a loss. ¡°President Qiao.¡± CEO l¨¹ opened his mouth again and red at Joes,¡±¡±It¡¯s yourpany¡¯s problem, so you can¡¯t me us for not receiving the money. Moreover, your problem this time has caused us to suffer a great loss. We can¡¯t do what we should do now, so isn¡¯t it right topensate more?¡± Director l¨¹¡¯s tone made it seem as if all of this was natural and that joesse owed them. Fortunately, this time, the others still had some brains. They looked at each other and did not directly agree. It was reasonable topensate, but what was the point of not even paying for the design? Seeing that no one was going along with what he said, CEO Lu did not feel embarrassed and looked straight at joesse. After a long time, joesse could not help but chuckle. She mmed the contract on the table with a loud bang. His expression turned cold in an instant. Director l¨¹ looked at him and was shocked for a moment. His heart was filled with fear. ¡°I¡¯m giving you face,¡± Joes said coldly.¡±That doesn¡¯t mean you can do whatever you want. I¡¯llpensate you.¡± I shouldn¡¯t give you what you don¡¯t want, but if you don¡¯t want to let go, that¡¯s fine. Neither of us will have an easy time!¡± Did he really think she was a pushover? Unfortunately, Joes was never one! ¡°You!¡± CEO l¨¹¡¯s face was red from anger. He raised a finger and pointed it at joesse, his finger trembling in mid-air. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no reply. Joes¡¯s reaction also made the other eager bosses of thepanies quiet down and not speak. Even if this person were to suffer a setback this time, he would still be an existence with a great background. Other thanpensation, there was no way he could think of anything else. To avoid offending him too much. Joris nced at the clock hanging on the wall of the reception room. It had been more than ten minutes since they started talking. She ... Did not want to waste any more time here. ¡°The matter has been made clear. Xing Yuan willpensate ording to the contract. If there¡¯s nothing else, do you all still intend to stay?¡± Faced with Joss¡¯s question, the bosses of thesepanies stood up one after another. ¡°No, no, President Qiao is an open-minded person. Since the matter has been resolved, we won¡¯t stay any longer.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We actually feel sorry for President Qiao for what happened. Yourpany will definitely be able to survive this.¡± ¡°President Qiao, we¡¯ll be waiting for yourpany¡¯s payment.¡± After a series of fake farewells, Jossi watched the bosses of thesepanies leave with a mocking smile. Very good, she had remembered everything. It was aughable thought to think that the current star essence was not strong enough. Joes felt that she would be able to wait for the day when they would regret it. However, by then, they would probably not care about these small fries. As she walked out of the office, Joes made a call to the finance department to calcte the down payment for thepany bosses. Those who had not received the money would not bepensated. Only those who had arrived at the station could check and transfer the money using thepany¡¯s ount. ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you. For those who didn¡¯t even pay enough to ce an order for the design, you just have to follow the rules. Don¡¯t let people think that we¡¯re a charity, that we can do anything. ¡± Joes said coldly. The head of the finance department quickly nodded and replied,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. I¡¯ll definitely get it done.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After she finished speaking, Jossi hung up the phone and returned to her office. She began to practice her public rtions department and prepared to clean up the public opinion on the inte. At the same time, Mi Li had just led Long Qian to the Human Resources Department to receive her sry. From now on, she was no longer a designer of Xing Yuan. ¡°Go and tidy up your desk. Then,e with me to meet the President.¡± Mi Li said to Long Qian. The two of them were now standing outside the public office. The people inside were extremely curious and could not help but stick their heads out to take a look. However, under Millie¡¯s gaze, they quickly retracted their heads. ¡°...Alright.¡± Long Qian said this word with some difficulty and walked into the public office with heavy steps. She did not know what she was thinking at the moment. It was as if she had lost something very important in an instant. Chapter 384

Chapter 384: You¡¯ve worked hard this time

Perhaps ... The design of star essence was more important than Jianghai. However, there was no turning back. Now that things hade to this, even if Long Qian regretted it, she could not regret it. As soon as she entered the public office, she received hateful gazes from everyone, including Lin ya. Only Wang Li and a few other colleagues were rtively calm. They weren¡¯t idiots. In the situation on the first floor, no one else was left behind except for Lin ya and the other two. The whole thing was clear. Moreover, Lin ya and Wang Li returned to the office very quickly. What else did they not know? The benefits of Xingyuan¡¯s design were very good. Long Qian¡¯s destruction of Xingyuan¡¯s reputation was equivalent to destroying their interests. No one could ept this, plus their sense of belonging to thepany. At this moment, everyone¡¯s emotions were unexpectedly the same. Being stared at by these ¡®fierce¡¯ eyes, Long Qian trembled. She lowered her head slightly and walked towards her desk. The office, which had been noisy and lively just a moment ago, suddenly quieted down. It was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. Soon after, there was a rustling sound on Long Qian¡¯s desk. ...... She was tidying up the things on the table and putting everything that belonged to her into a box. It also included some items that her colleagues had helped her buy when she first came. Seeing that Long Qian was almost done tidying up and was about to leave, a colleague finally couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Long Qian, you were the one who leaked thepany¡¯s design n, weren¡¯t you?¡± The person who spoke was also one of the parties involved in this incident. Because one of the designs was hers, and it took her several days toplete it. He had been waiting to get the corresponding bonus after the order waspleted, but now it was all ruined. Long Qian¡¯s hand that was holding the box stopped. She swallowed her saliva and finally said firmly,¡±¡±I was the one who leaked it,¡± Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn ¡®t. As soon as she said this, the office exploded. She had also ignited everyone¡¯s anger. ¡°It¡¯s you indeed!¡± ¡°Long Qian, do you have to be such a traitor? What did thepany do to you that they would leak the design?¡± ¡°I really misjudged you. You don¡¯t deserve to be our colleague!¡± The sharp words entered Long Qian¡¯s ears. Even though she had been prepared for it, she could not bear it. ¡°This is my choice,¡± she shouted.¡±Stop talking!¡± After she finished speaking, she took the box and ran out of the office before the people in the office could react. Miley, who was waiting outside, didn¡¯t say anything and led her to the president¡¯s office. After that, everyone in the office finally reacted. Looking at Long Qian¡¯s departing figure, many people gritted their teeth and their hearts were filled with anger. Lin ya was the same, but she was much calmer than before. ¡°This time, thepany is in deep trouble. It¡¯s because of a designer that we trust.¡± At this moment, a colleague couldn¡¯t help but sigh. There were many people who had the same thought as her, and they were all extremely disappointed at this moment. Another colleague shook his head slightly and said,¡±¡±And I heard that ourpany might have to pay at least a million Yuan this time.¡± ¡°A million? Ourpany has only just started, right?¡± Someone eximed. ¡°What can we do? there¡¯s a traitor in thepany. Thepensation has to be paid to thepanies that ced the order.¡± Several sighs could be heard in the office, and Lin ya clenched her fists.¡±¡±Long Qian has gone too far!¡± ¡°Alright, calm down. What we should be thinking about now is how to solve this. I think sisi should have an idea.¡± Wang Li patted Lin ya¡¯s shoulder. What no one noticed was that after she heard the word pensation,¡± a strange emotion shed through her eyes. That thought also became more and more firm. ¡­¡­¡­ For the time being, Qiao Si was unaware of what had happened in the public office. She was also extremely busy with the rification on the inte. It wasn¡¯t easy to get all the evidence. This included the surveince video and the third key to the archive room that Long Qian had copied. If these things were not released, it would be difficult to convince the public. The influence of public opinion was not that simple. After clicking the ¡®send¡¯ button, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. She then informed the public rtions department of this matter and immediately started promoting it. He had to minimize the impact of the design being leaked. After dealing with this matter, Qiao si looked at Long Qian in front of her. She had already posted her rification online. ¡°You¡¯ve done what I asked you to do. You can leave now. ¡± Hearing joesse¡¯s calm voice, Long Qian raised her head and saw her calm face. She opened her mouth several times but failed. After hearing this, she swallowed the words she wanted to ask if she could continue to stay in Xing Yuan. ¡°Then ... I¡¯ll be leaving.¡± Long Qian pursed her lips. Qiao si si had no intention of keeping her and left Xing Yuan under her gaze. From the moment she left, she would never have the chance toe back. A traitor would not be tolerated. After long Qian had left for a while, joesse massaged the space between her brows. The sudden and intense workload had made her feel a little tired. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± There was a knock on the door. Joes took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± Miley pushed the door open and entered, handing over a document.¡±¡±President, the finance department and the public rtions department are working on it now. The finance department has already paid thepensation to the fivepanies, which is one million Yuan. This is the bill. ¡± After saying that, Miley ced a list on the table. Jossi nced at the list. After seeing that there were no problems, she retracted her gaze and nodded. ¡°The public rtions department is doing quite well and the truth has been rified. It shouldn¡¯t be long before they can suppress the original hot search. Most of theizens believed it, except for some anti-fans, which were not too big of a problem. ¡± Millie reported the details one by one, and Joes listened attentively. After she finished listening, she said,¡±¡±You did well. You¡¯ve worked hard this time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing, President. This incident was mainly because of me. Otherwise ... The design would not have been leaked.¡± Millie felt a little guilty. She couldn¡¯t ept the fact that she was the one who leaked the design. She also secretly swore in her heart that she would never make such a low-level mistake again in the future, in case a simr situation like this happened again, which would be very bad. Chapter 385

Chapter 385: I¡¯ll give you a million

Looking at Millie¡¯s expression, Joes could not help butugh,¡±¡±I don¡¯t me you for this. If someone wants to do it, they¡¯ll find an opportunity no matter what. I¡¯ll call you if there¡¯s anything. You don¡¯t have to work overtime, just get off work on time. ¡± The matter was more or less resolved now. The matter on the inte would continue to ferment as the truth of the marriage. As for thepensation, it went on as usual, and there was nothing particrly urgent. After hearing this, Millie finally smiled.¡±¡±Yes, thank you, President!¡± After she left, Jossi was the only one left in the office. The rare silence allowed her to calm down. ¡°Oh right, the casino ...¡± Joes seemed to have suddenly recalled something as she picked up her phone and was about to call detective Wen. What she could guess was that things were going smoothly. The truth was exactly as she had thought. ¡­¡­¡­ At the casino. After talking to boss long and the others, the bet started very quickly. ...... The rules of the game were very simple. It was a big bet and a small bet. There was no technical content. There were dice on the table. Qiao Lei looked at one of boss Long¡¯s underlings and threw the dice directly. After swinging the die for a long time, his hands were sore, and the underling finally pped the die! With a bang, he mmed the table. ¡°Big or small!¡± Hearing this, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes were fixed on the dice covered by the cover. He wanted to see through the cover and see the inside. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have X-Ray Eyes, so it was simply a delusion to see it. Seeing this, boss long smiled.¡±¡±Kid, I¡¯ll let you go first. Make a guess and I¡¯ll do the opposite.¡± Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t believe what he had just heard, and his eyes were filled with shock. This was boss long, and he was actually giving him the initiative? Qiao Lei didn¡¯t understand why, but he didn¡¯t want to let go of this rare opportunity. He smiled awkwardly.¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll have to thank boss long.¡± He stared at the dice for a long time. He was a little nervous and couldn¡¯t help but swallow. If it was sessful, that would be a hundred thousand Yuan! Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes lit up. He took a deep breath and made his choice. ¡°I¡¯m guessing it¡¯s big!¡± Hearing that, boss long raised his eyebrows and naturally chose the opposite,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll choose small.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll start!¡± Boss Long¡¯s underling wanted to keep him in suspense, but when he saw boss Long¡¯s eyes, he quieted down. ¡°Open!¡± He cleared his throat and directly opened the lid, exposing the good dice to everyone¡¯s eyes. Everyone, including boss long, could not help but look inside. There were a total of six dice, and two sixes, two fives, one four, and one three were thrown out. It was a big one. ¡°I ... I won! I won!¡± After Qiao Lei saw the die clearly, a burst of ecstasy gushed out of his heart. He pointed at the die and eximed. The hugemotion even attracted the attention of people at other gambling tables. Seeing this, Qiao Lei¡¯s voice also became softer, but he still couldn¡¯t hide the joy on his face. He had won! A hundred thousand Yuan ... Was in his hands! Qiao Lei was so happy that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth. This was equivalent to him not spending anything this time and earning 100000 Yuan for nothing. In addition to the 50000 Yuan in his pocket, he had 150000 Yuan in total, which was enough for him to spend for a while. This was also the first time Qiao Lei had won so much in a casino. He lost most of the time, and even if he won, it was only a small win. It was no different from a fantasy to rely on the casino to make money. After seeing the die clearly, boss Long¡¯s face darkened.¡±¡±This kid¡¯s luck is pretty good, it¡¯s really big.¡± ¡°Boss, what should we do?¡± One of his underlings came over. Seeing this, boss long red at him in exasperation.¡±¡±Don¡¯t talk to me, get away!¡± A bunch of trash who can¡¯t even act. They had to make Qiao Lei feel that they were very angry and that they had indeed lost the money. However, there was no need for boss long and the others to act well now, because Qiao Lei was already overwhelmed by joy. He swallowed his saliva and asked carefully,¡±¡±Boss long, I guessed right. Then the 100000 yuan you promised, is it ...¡± Before Qiao Lei could finish, boss long interrupted him. ¡°Alright, do you think I don¡¯t know what you mean? 100,000 Yuan, I¡¯ll definitely give it to you since I¡¯ve agreed to it. Don¡¯t be so anxious!¡± Seeing boss Long¡¯s expression, Qiao Lei gloated in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare to show it on his face. He said,¡±¡±Boss long is right, you¡¯re the most trustworthy. Out of all the people I¡¯ve met, you¡¯re the one who treats your subordinates the best and has the best reputation. ¡± After a round of ttery, boss Long¡¯s expression softened a little.¡±¡±This is more like it.¡± The underling¡¯s face was almost green, and he looked at Qiao Lei with a strange expression. He looked like a blind man, but he could still lie with his eyes open! Not long after, boss long nced at the gambling table and continued,¡±¡±Kid, are you interested in another bet with me?¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s face froze. He was a little upset, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face.¡±¡±Boss long, I¡¯m in need of money too. 100000 Yuan is enough.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense with me!¡± With a cold face, boss long looked at Qiao Lei and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m asking you, are you still willing to bet with me? if you don ¡®t, I¡¯ll give you the 100000 Yuan and you can leave! If we¡¯re betting, the rules can be changed. It¡¯s still big or small, but if I lose, I¡¯ll give you a million!¡± A million! Qiao Lei¡¯s breathing quickened when he heard the amount. This was not a small amount. One million Yuan might not be enough to buy a good house in city h, but it was definitely enough to spend for a long time. This wasn¡¯t something that a hundred thousand couldpare to. It was a whole ten times more! However, Qiao Lei was still a little reluctant to give up the 100000 Yuan He had on hand. He asked hesitantly,¡±¡±Then, boss long, what if I lose?¡± Seeing the fire in his eyes, boss long said in disdain,¡±¡±If you lose, just follow the rules and give me half. Half of a million is only five hundred thousand. If you win, you can take a whole million. Think about it, are you willing to leave with 100000 or try to see if there¡¯s any hope of getting a million. ¡± Boss long was like a demon, leading Qiao Lei into the abyss step by step, and he was even willing to endure it. After these words, Qiao Lei also fell into deep thought. He was really thinking about whether he should continue to gamble. Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Chapter 387-can he still live?

A hundred thousand Yuan ... A million Yuan ... These two numbers shed in front of Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes. Finally, he made up his mind and gritted his teeth.¡±¡±Let¡¯s bet!¡± Instead of just taking 100000 Yuan, he might as well try to see if he could get a million! Betting on big or small, that was a 50% chance. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t believe that his luck could be that bad! What he didn¡¯t know was that from the moment he agreed, his future fate had undergone a tremendous change. He had already been given a choice, but Qiao Lei didn¡¯t choose to cherish it. ¡°Good boy, you¡¯re bold indeed. Little four, hurry up and continue. Let¡¯s bet!¡± Boss long burst outughing. However, there was coldness beneath his smile. The little brother called little four shivered and quickly stood next to the gambling table again. He picked up the dice and began to throw them. Although they didn¡¯t have any paper contracts as proof and the way they gambled seemed simple, no one dared to owe boss long money. It was hard to imagine what would happen. Otherwise, Qiao Lei would not have persuaded Qiao Feng to sell his house to pay off his debts. At this moment, the Qiao family was not clear about Qiao Lei¡¯s current situation. Otherwise, they would all go crazy. Gambling was something that should not be involved! ...... ¡°I¡¯m still betting big!¡± Qiao Lei said without hesitation. He had already made his choice, so boss long only had one choice left: ¡°Then I¡¯ll be small. Let¡¯s see who has better luck.¡± After that, the two¡¯s eyes fell on the dice. After the underling finished throwing the dice, he pressed the lid on the gambling table and nced at the crowd nervously! ¡°Open!¡± With a loud shout, the underling directly opened the die¡¯s lid and revealed the result. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t even blink as he stared at the die ced in the middle, afraid that he would miss something if he blinked. Looking at the dice exposed under the light, his breathing quickened as he looked at them one by one. The first one, five. Seeing this, Qiao Lei felt that his heart was in his throat, but he was relieved. As long as more than half of the participants were present, victory would be certain. A million was also easily within his grasp. Qiao Leiposed himself and continued to read. The second one was a three. Seeing this number, Qiao Lei¡¯s expression froze and he hurriedly continued to y. The third one, one. The fourth one, two. The fifth one was still one. The sixth one ... Qiao Lei felt like he was about to faint. He trembled as he looked at the sixth one. It was two! He had lost! His heart suddenly stopped. If Qiao Lei didn¡¯t quickly hold onto the table, he would have fallen to the ground. He had not expected such a ghastly result. Not only did he not get a million Yuan, but he was also in debt of 500000 Yuan again, which was even more than the previous debt! ¡°We¡¯re finished!¡± At this moment, Qiao Lei only had one thought in his mind. He hadpletely lost all hope. However, other than him, the others were overjoyed. Elder long looked at the results on the table with a smile. In fact, he had already guessed that this would be the oue. However, Qiao Lei asked for it. ¡°That¡¯s great, boss won!¡± ¡°Congrattions, boss! We got another five hundred thousand this time!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He got 500000 in one go. He¡¯s indeed our boss.¡± Boss Long¡¯s underlings were all praising him, wishing they could push him to the sky. No one paid any attention to Qiao Lei, who was in a gloomy mood. Listening to these ttering words, boss Long¡¯s face looked very good and he was quite proud.¡±¡±Alright, alright, just a few words are enough. There are always wins and losses in gambling.¡± ¡°Boss is right!¡± On this side, it was a happy and harmonious scene. However, Qiao Lei¡¯s year was apletely different scene. He swallowed his saliva and breathed heavily. He stared at the dice on the table, but no matter how hard he stared, the table was still filled with the same dice. ¡°What do we do, what do we do!¡± Qiao Lei was extremely flustered. He looked at boss long beside him and forced a stiff smile. ¡°Boss long, so now ... Do I owe you 500000?¡± he asked tentatively. Right now, he was still holding onto a trace of hope. However, boss long had personally destroyed hisst hope. His face turned cold.¡±What do you mean by that? don¡¯t you want to pay?¡± The underlings at the side also began to cheer. ¡°That¡¯s right, Qiao Lei. If you don¡¯t pay us back, we won¡¯t let you off.¡± ¡°You were the one who wanted to continue this bet. If you think that the 100000 Yuan is not enough, don¡¯t me others.¡± ¡°Last time, it was 300000 Yuan. Boss said he wanted one finger from you. This time, you owe 500000 Yuan. It¡¯s reasonable to say that you owe him two fingers.¡± Hearing this, boss long raised his eyebrows and agreed,¡±¡±That¡¯s fine. How about it, Qiao Lei? two fingers? I¡¯ll let you leave the casino.¡± Whether it was paying back the money or breaking his fingers, this was not the result Qiao Lei wanted. He gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed to boss long and said,¡±¡±Boss long, I know I was wrong. Please let me go, ah!¡± A scream was heard. It turned out that boss long had kicked him to the side. From the way he clutched his stomach and twitched, everyone knew that this kick was definitely not light. ¡°You brat, don¡¯t try to pull any tricks. Since you¡¯ve agreed, you have to return the five hundred thousand! I¡¯ll give you some time to raise the money, and I¡¯ll go find you after that. If I don¡¯t see the money, don¡¯t even think about living!¡± Boss long wasn¡¯t a kind person. He red at Qiao Lei, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and beckoned his underlings to leave with him. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± With an order, therge group left in a grandiose manner. The originally lively gambling table was now left with Qiao Lei, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up. His eyes were a little empty, and he was even extremely afraid. Last time, it was 300000 Yuan. This time, it was 500000 Yuan. Would Qiao Feng ... Still help him pay it back? Could he still live? As these thoughts shed through his mind, Qiao Lei¡¯s sense of pain decreased. He didn¡¯t have any other thoughts at the moment. He just wanted to avoid boss long and the others. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, overseas. Zheng Zeyi and assistant li had just arrived at a resplendent building. As soon as the two entered, they saw a table full of dishes that had already been ordered. The dishes were exquisite and expensive. Other than that, there were a few other people in the room. Other than the CEO of mari, who Zheng Zeyi had already met, there were three other people he did not know. There were two men in suits and leather shoes and a gorgeous woman who was dressed to the nines. Chapter 387

Chapter 387: She definitely can¡¯t let him go

Shockingly, it was Zhu Di, Ma Li and the rest who had rushed over at their fastest speed. However, Zheng Zeyi had never seen them before, so he did not care much. He looked away after a brief nce. He found a seat opposite the president of thepany and sat down. Assistant li quickly sat down as well. Zhu Di was the only one who had his eyes fixed on Zheng Zeyi the moment he entered. His eyes were burning with a determination to win. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi could not be bothered with her. Otherwise, Zhu Di would have beenpletely crushed by this. Jossi was very clear about this, as she had experienced it before. ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯re finally here.¡± The CEO of thepany smiled as he handed over a bottle of red wine and ced it beside Zheng ze. This was a 1982 wine, and it was an excellent brand. It was clear that the president of mari had put in a lot of effort for this meal. They had already agreed on the cooperation yesterday, so this time, they just had to have a good meal. It was best to use this matter to fight for more benefits. After all, businessmen were always after profits. Zheng Zeyi did not refuse. He nced at the bottle of red wine and said in a foreignnguage,¡±¡±Thank you for your trouble, President.¡± ¡°President Zheng, you¡¯re too kind. Hahahaha, this cooperation is all thanks to you. If it wasn¡¯t for you, it wouldn¡¯t have gone so smoothly.¡± ...... The CEO of thepanyughed heartily as he poured himself a ss of red wine. Just as he was about to drink it, Zhu Di, who was at the side, suddenly realized that something was amiss as he hurriedly signaled with his eyes. Seeing the look in her eyes, the CEO of miles finally reacted, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said,¡±¡±Oh right, President Zheng, I forgot to introduce you to these people.¡± After saying that, he pointed to the few people beside him. First, it was Zhu Di. ¡°President Zheng, this is my daughter, Zhu Di. You can just call her that,¡± said the CEO with a smile. My daughter is extremely curious about President Zheng. It was only because she kept making a fuss today that I had no choice but to let her go with us. If I¡¯ve offended President Zheng, I¡¯m here to apologize to you. ¡± It had to be said that the president of Minrui was very good at dealing with people. In just a few words, he had shut up all the words that could be said. He had already said so. If Zheng Zeyi still looked at him coldly, he would seem too petty. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi curled his lips and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re joking, President. I don¡¯t mind.¡± As for anything about Jodie, such aspliments, he did not say a single word. Even if he was overseas, Zheng Zeyi could not possibly make Qiao sisi unhappy, even though she did not know anything. Zhu Di¡¯s soul was also drawn away by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome smile. He did not manage to react in time. A strange look shed across the CEO¡¯s eyes, then he continued,¡±¡±President Zheng is indeed magnanimous. It seems like I¡¯ve judged the heart of a gentleman with my own mean measure.¡± At this point, he paused and continued to introduce the next two.¡±¡±This is Ma Li, and this is jouyi. They¡¯re all the pirs and elites of mypany. I wonder what you think of them, President Zheng?¡± This question contained a lot of deep meaning. Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly. To be honest, he did not expect so many things to happen before they even started eating. However, it was still within the range of his tolerance, so Zheng Zeyi did not say much. His thin lips moved.¡±Not bad.¡± The president of thepany said a long sentence, but the cold Zheng ze only replied with two words. Even assistant Li¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but Twitch. He held back hisughter and lowered his head to lower his presence. Calm down. He had already seen this many times. Even the CEO of miles felt a little embarrassed. The smile on his face froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. After clearing his throat, the CEO acted as if nothing had happened. He gave Zhu Di and the other two a look and said,¡±¡±You guys, hurry up and greet President Zheng!¡± ¡°Good day, President Zheng!¡± Joey and Mary nodded and said at the same time. Zhu Di finally broke away from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile and revealed a beautiful smile. It was very moving. ¡°Hello, President Zheng,¡± she said with a smile. ¡°This is our first time meeting. I¡¯ve only seen you on TV before.¡± Meeting you in person is indeed better than hearing your name. How about ... I give you a toast, President Zheng?¡± After saying that, Zhu Di picked up the bottle of red wine and filled the wine ss to the brim. Then, she raised her ss and was about to give Zheng ze a toast. However, no one had expected Zheng Zeyi to not give them any face at all. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m not feeling well today, so I can¡¯t drink. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently and pushed the red wine bottle away. This time, even the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere. The CEO of thepany was a smart person. At this point, he could naturally tell that Zheng Zeyi was unhappy with the few people he brought with him. However, he did not know that Zheng Zeyi was only unhappy with Zhu Di. After thinking about it for a while, the CEO finally decided that this coboration was more important, and he was the one who was disrespectful first. He shouldn¡¯t have brought his daughter or the people from thepany. As he thought about it, the CEO of mari stood up and said with a smile,¡±¡±It¡¯s my fault for not being considerate. Zhu Di, why aren¡¯t you putting down your wine ss? Waiter, please get us a ss of water!¡± The CEO of thepany was very decisive. He immediately asked the waiter to bring a bottle of water and ced it next to Zheng Zeyi. He had his own way of doing things. ¡°Dad ...¡± On the other hand, Zhu Di¡¯s face was flushed red with embarrassment. He was a little displeased in his heart. However, after looking at his father¡¯s expression, he could only sit down. She finished the entire ss of red wine in anger, her face red with anger. This Zheng Zeyi was really giving too much face! After Zhu Di finished drinking, she poured herself a full ss of red wine. In fact, all she could think about was Zheng Zeyi. From the moment he arrived, Zhu Di had already been deeply attracted to him. Even though Zhu Di was extremely angry after what he had done, she still decided to fight for it after she had calmed down. She would never let go of this outstanding man! ¡°Don¡¯t drink so much, Zhu Di. ¡± Seeing how Jodie was drinking without restraint, the CEO of mari opened his mouth with an ugly look on his face. When he heard this, Zhu Di¡¯s hand stopped for a moment. He put down his wine ss and nodded his head slightly,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, dad. I drank too much. ¡± After she said that, the CEO¡¯s face looked a little better. Opposite them, Zheng Zeyi poured a ss of water and took a sip. He looked so elegant as if he was tasting red wine. Chapter 388

Chapter 388: You¡¯d better consider it carefully

His every movement carried an innate air of nobility. Looking at this scene, Zhu Di¡¯s eyes lit up. This man was simply born for her to admire. In fact, even in China, there were many people who had the same thoughts as Zhu Di. After all, Zheng Zeyi had arge number of fans in the country. She wasn¡¯t a celebrity, but she attracted arge number of fangirls with her looks and her own excellence. Soon, everyone began to eat. The exquisite dishes on the table kept moving. Zheng Zeyi did not have much appetite and only moved his chopsticks twice from the beginning to the end. Zhu Di and these few people had dampened his spirits. On the other hand, assistant li was very happy. There were many more things on the te, which were swept away at the speed of a storm. At this time, the CEO of Minrui also noticed that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s te was empty. His eyes darkened, and he changed the topic to the cooperation that they had talked about yesterday. ¡°President Zheng, now that I think about it, since the cooperation has been decided, how about I ask thepany to draft the contract tonight?¡± The CEO of thepany said with a smile as he finished the red wine in his ss. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand paused and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.¡±¡±Of course you can, but you don¡¯t have to trouble the president to draft the contract.¡± After saying that, his gaze fell on assistant li. ...... Seeing this look, assistant li couldn¡¯t care about eating anymore. He quickly took out two documents from his briefcase. ¡°President, this is the contract.¡± Assistant Li said. ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and nced at the documents on the table. One of them belonged to Zheng Zeyi, while the other belonged to the CEO of miles. After confirming the coboration yesterday, Zheng ze went back and set the terms of the contract. The reason why he was so quick was that he hoped to resolve this matter as soon as possible and return to his country to visit joesse. He had only left for a few days, but he missed her so much. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression softened unconsciously as he thought of the sweet smile on her face in his memory. It was probably only when he was with Joes that his attitude towards her would be different from how he treated others. Zheng Zeyi was also very clear about the contents of the contract. This cooperation was a win-win situation for both sides, but since mari didn¡¯t put in much effort, the gains had to be equal. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the Zheng¡¯s group. Even if thepany was big, it was not a reason to sign a cooperation contract at will. ¡°President of miles, please take a look at the contract.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and pushed a copy of the contract over. It was only a few thin pages, but it made the CEO¡¯s face turn a little ugly. ¡°President Zheng, this ... This speed is indeed a little too fast.¡± The CEO¡¯s face stiffened. He didn¡¯t expect to be tricked like this. He had organized such a dinner party today. The purpose was to increase some benefits, but they had already drawn up the contract. What else could they do now? ¡°Let¡¯s see. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not say much. Upon seeing this, the CEO took a deep breath and knew that there was no other way, so he opened the contract and read it. Flipping through page by page, his expression at first was still alright, but towards the end, it instantly changed. And on that page of the contract, it happened to be about the distribution of benefits between both parties. Zhu Di noticed the sudden change in the CEO¡¯s expression and was curious about the contents of the contract. Just as she was about to take a look, the CEO of miles suddenly spoke with a hint of anger in his tone. ¡°President Zheng, what you¡¯re doing is really a little unfair. We agreed at the beginning that the annual profit is 20%. But why did it be 15% now? I need President Zheng to give me a reasonable exnation!¡± The CEO of mari almost lost control of his emotions and ced the contract in front of him. He gritted his teeth, his heart burning with anger. They were all in the business world and were not fools. The annual profit was 20% and 15%. It looked like there was only a difference of five percent, but the difference could be hundreds of millions! As the president of thepany, how could the president of mari allow thepany to suffer such a huge loss? Zheng Zeyi remained calm after hearing the CEO¡¯s furious words. He even opened the document and started reading it. ¡°President,¡± he finally said,¡±did you misunderstand something? yesterday, you said you would give me 20% of the profits. I didn¡¯t agree to it directly.¡± At that time, I told you to consider it. You can also take a closer look at this contract. The Zheng Corporation ... Has not treated you badly!¡± In the end, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone became sharper, and his sharp eyes fell straight on the president of thepany. It was as if he could see through his thoughts, making the CEO of miles feel a little guilty instead of angry. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that there was indeed no fixed distribution of benefits. However, from the beginning to the end yesterday, the CEO of miles had only said that he would make a 20% profit. He was really dissatisfied with the sudden drop of 5%. Zhu Di and Ma Li who were standing at the side didn¡¯t know what to say either, and could only watch as the two sides continued their exchange. After thinking about it, the CEO could only say,¡±¡±President Zheng, ourpany has also put in a lot of effort. The least we can ept is at least 20% of the annual profit. A 5% drop is really too much. President Zheng, you¡¯d better think about it. ¡± At this point, the CEO of mari was no longer in the mood to continue drinking. After he finished speaking, he stared at Zheng Zeyi. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi was prepared for this. He signaled to assistant li with his eyes and took out another document. The document was very thin, only two pages long. However, the smile on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was very intriguing. He opened the document and said,¡±¡±President of mari, can yourpany really put in a lot of effort?¡± In the document, it was also rted to thepany. Since he had chosen to work with thispany, Zheng Zeyi had naturally done aprehensive investigation beforeing. As expected, when these people were greedy and wanted to expand their interests, this document could shut them up! ¡°I don¡¯t know if you understand what I¡¯m saying, or does the president of mari want me to read this out loud?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows, but after hearing this, the expression of the CEO of mari changed drastically. Almost instantly, he knew what the document was. There were some problems with theirpany as well. They had said that they had put in a lot of effort, but in reality, it was just a verbal statement from the CEO. Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Is he a good person?

Other than the things written in the contract, they wouldn¡¯t do anything else unless they were given greater benefits. It was only possible for the divided internal department to be United. Zheng ze was well aware of this point and did not expect them to do anything. The cooperation with Minrui was only the first step. ¡°How is it?¡± Seeing that the CEO of miles didn¡¯t say anything for a long time, Zheng ze closed the documents and passed them back to assistant li. Seeing this, assistant li quickly and carefully put it back into the briefcase. Zheng Zeyi was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. He was in charge of the entire Zheng¡¯s group and he had the final say. However, it was different for miles. It was one of thergestpanies abroad, but its internal power was also chaotic. The president of thepany was one of the factions. Other than him, there were other factions in thepany. Hence, no matter what, Zheng Zeyi only needed them to follow the contract, put in the effort, and take the benefits that they deserved. There were no free lunches in the world, and there were no pitfalls. When he noticed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze on him, the CEO¡¯s face turned so dark that it looked like water could drip out of it. ¡°President Zheng, must we do this?¡± he asked after a moment of silence. ...... ¡°What do you think?¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled and did not answer directly, but his tone was certain. At this point, the CEO of mari finally understood that it was probably an extravagant hope to increase his annual profit by 5%. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not refute Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. Moreover, there weren¡¯t many unfair conditions in the contract. Even if it was a 15% annual profit, it was still a very profitable deal for miles. It was just that the president of miles wanted to fight for higher interests. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth.¡±I can¡¯t believe President Zheng is only willing to give us 15% of the profits. Then, ourpany will ept it.¡± The president of mari didn¡¯t want to let go of this project. Zheng Zeyi had already guessed this oue. He shook the ss of water in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile,¡±¡±The president of miles is indeed forthright.¡± It seemed that the atmosphere had returned to normal, but in fact, it was much heavier than when they had just eaten. Other than assistant li, who had touched a few of the dishes on the table, no one else had touched them. Even assistant li put down his chopsticks when he saw this scene. In the midst of the silence, Zhu Di nced at the chairman of thepany, who was not as excited as he was at the beginning. He stood up and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to the washroom. ¡± After saying that, she left the restaurant¡¯s private room. Not long after Zhu Di left, Ma Li also excused himself to the washroom and left the room. In the bathroom, Zhu Di stood in front of the mirror. The tap in front of her was gurgling with clear water, but she didn¡¯t seem to care. She was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror with a small makeup bag in her hand. After touching up his makeup, Zhu Di looked at his own face in the mirror and revealed a satisfied smile. ¡°Zheng Zeyi ... Is indeed outstanding.¡± She mumbled the name over and over again, and her smile deepened. It was better to control this outstanding man in her own hands. Jossi, who was far away in the country, had no idea that a woman overseas had her eyes on her man. ¡°Da da.¡± The sound of high heels cking against the floor echoed in the corridor, unusually clear and crisp. Zhu Di had just left the washroom. He had only taken a few steps when he saw Ma Li¡¯s back against the wall. She furrowed her brows slightly and had some guesses in her heart. She asked,¡±¡±Ma Li, why are you here?¡± In fact, she knew in her heart that he was probably waiting for her. After hearing that, Ma Li raised his head to look at Zhu Di, as though he had thought of something. After hesitating for a while, he said,¡±¡±Zhu Di, do you really like that Zheng Zeyi that much?¡± Hearing this familiar question, even Zhu Di was a little surprised. Because Ma Li had asked about it earlier. She furrowed her brows and said,¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you?¡± And you don¡¯t need to care about this matter. ¡± ¡°Okay, I don¡¯t need to care. But there¡¯s something I have to tell you.¡± Ma Li was getting a little angry as well. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and searched for a message. He and Zhu Di could be considered to have grown up together. Their rtionship was extraordinary. In fact, Ma Li had some feelings of admiration in his heart, but he had never shown it. However, now that Zheng Zeyi had popped up in the middle of the fight, Ma Li could not hold it in anymore. The two of them were childhood sweethearts. Even if they weren¡¯t together yet, Ma Li couldn¡¯t bear to see Zhu Di fall for Zheng Zeyi. The scene in the restaurant earlier had made Ma Li even more furious. Zhu Di had never treated him like that before. After searching for a moment, Ma Li found the message and passed the phone over to Zhu Di. ¡°Take a good look for yourself before you decide whether you want to get close to this man again. He¡¯s not a good person!¡± Even though Zhu Di did not seem to mind, he still took the phone and looked at it seriously. The screen of the phone showed a piece of information about Zheng Zeyi, which showed that he already had a fianc¨¦e. There was even some information on his fianc¨¦e. When she saw this, Zhu Di¡¯s face was filled with shock. This was because she really did not know about this matter, and had never investigated it before. He did not expect Zheng Zeyi to have a fianc¨¦e in China. But ... It wasn¡¯t a big threat. Even so, she wouldn¡¯t let go. At the thought of this, Zhu Di pursed his lips and his emotions gradually calmed down. He returned the phone to Ma Li and said,¡±¡±Why are you showing me this?¡± His voice was very calm, as if he didn¡¯t see the fianc¨¦e on the information. Ma Li was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but he still maintained a good attitude on the surface. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the information? This man already had a fianc¨¦e. Since he already has a fianc¨¦e, he¡¯s still seducing you outside. Is he a good person?¡± Ma Li was indignant, and there was also a trace of jealousy that was difficult to hide. If anyone else heard this, they would be shocked as well. After all, Zheng Zeyi had not done anything at all. From the beginning to the end, Zhu Di was the one who admired Zheng Zeyi and took the initiative to stick to him. In fact, he did not even get a single good ending. When it came to Ma Li, it reversed the facts. It was unknown where his confidence came from. Seeing Ma Li¡¯s slightly agitated attitude, judi sneered,¡±¡±So what if I see it? I like President Zheng, not his fianc¨¦e. Besides, the two of them aren¡¯t married yet. If they were, I wouldn¡¯t want to get involved. But now, they¡¯re both unmarried, why can¡¯t I like him? President Zheng has always been outstanding. ¡± At the end of his sentence, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face appeared in Zhu Di¡¯s mind. Chapter 390 - I’ll be back tomorrow

Chapter 390: I¡¯ll be back tomorrow

She didn¡¯t want to continue arguing with Ma Li, so she walked straight towards the restaurant¡¯s private room. However, Ma Li had sensed her movements and blocked her way at once. ¡°No! I can¡¯t allow you to degrade yourself like this. There are many perfect men even overseas, why do you keep staring at that man?¡± Ma Li said rather agitatedly. In order to prevent Zhu Di from continuing to look at Zheng Zeyi, he even started to shift his attention to other men. He himself did not mention it. However, Zhu Di was not interested in anyone else at all.¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to say anything. Once I¡¯ve decided on something, it can¡¯t be changed.¡± ¡°Zhu Di, you ...¡± Ma Li was just about to say something when judi red at him coldly. Judi immediately bypassed him and left. ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me!¡± Jodie knew that Ma Li would catch up to them, so he said this coldly as he walked. Ma Li, who was still following behind him, immediately stopped in his tracks, a bitter smile appearing on his face. After saying so much, he still could not persuade Zhu Di toe down. No one in the room knew what had happened at the entrance of the washroom. Even if he had the chance, Zheng Zeyi would not be interested in finding out. ...... While Zhu Di was not around, Zheng ze stood up and said,¡±¡±President, it¡¯s gettingte. Since we¡¯ve finished eating, we¡¯ll go back first. You can sign this contract as a backup. ¡± He was talking about the contract that assistant li had just taken out. To be precise, there were two sets. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s copy had already been signed, and all that was left was the signature of the CEO of thepany. As long as both partiespleted the stamp, this matter would bepletely settled, and the president of mari would not have to worry about the cooperation. That meant that their annual profits had dropped by 5%. With many thoughts in his mind, the CEO of mari was silent for a moment before he took out a pen from his suit pocket and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll sign it now.¡± After saying that, assistant li was also very observant. He directly took out another contract from his briefcase. Since he had already agreed, the CEO of Minrui quickly signed his and hispany¡¯s name on the two contracts. It will take effect immediately. From now on, both parties were truly in a cooperative rtionship. The CEO of thepany heaved a sigh of relief and swept away his depressed mood. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Then take care, President Zheng. I won¡¯t see you out. If there¡¯s any problem with the project, we¡¯ll contact each other by text. How about it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and passed the contract to assistant li. He gave him a look and the two of them prepared to leave. At this moment, Zhu Di pushed the door open and bumped into Zheng Zeyi and assistant li, who were about to leave. ¡°President Zheng, this is ...¡± She asked, puzzled. ¡°Zhu Di, President Zheng has to leave first. Can you help me send him off?¡± the CEO of thepany quickly replied. His tone contained some deep meaning. As long as one wasn¡¯t a fool, they would know why the CEO of Minrui chose not to give it to them but to let Judy do it. Upon hearing this, even Zhu Di was stunned for a moment before joy filled his heart,¡±¡±Okay, dad, let me send President Zheng off.¡± The only person who was not too happy was Zheng Zeyi. His face darkened a little as he nced at the CEO of miles, then looked away. Assistant li couldn¡¯t help but lower her head. ¡°These two people ... To what extent are they trying to enrage the president?!¡± Assistant li was on the verge of tears. He had been by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side for so many years and could tell that his CEO did not want to have any contact with this Zhu Di woman. However, the CEO of miles didn¡¯t seem to notice it at all, and he even forced her over. Those who didn¡¯t know would think that they had a good rtionship. Assistant li tried his best to lower his presence. He couldn¡¯t interfere in this kind of thing, so he could only let the president say it. As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi opened his mouth and said in his maic voice,¡±¡±No need, thank you.¡± With that, he strode out of the room with his long legs, and assistant li quickly followed. Before Zhu Di could even react, Zheng Zeyi had already walked far away. The CEO of thepany reminded her,¡±¡±Hurry up and follow him. If you can get him, it will be a big help to thepany.¡± ¡°Yes, father.¡± Judi smiled, and her coquettish eyes fell on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slender back. In the next moment, she followed him. Ma Li had just returned when he saw this scene. He couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists and spit out a few words from between his teeth,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, I will make you pay the price for your love!¡± Everyone present had their own thoughts, but one thing was for sure, none of them had any good intentions. In the end, Zhu Di could not keep up with Zheng Zeyi. By the time he caught up to him, he was already in the car. If she missed this opportunity, it would not be so easy to meet Zheng Zeyi again. Zhu Di already had an idea in his mind. ¡­¡­¡­ The sky gradually darkened, and thest ray of light also disappeared into the horizon. The neon lights in the city Lit up. Looking down from Jossi¡¯s office, one could see the beautiful night view below. At that moment, Jossi had just finished dealing with the matter on the inte. After the rification, Long Qian was soon exposed to the public¡¯s eyes and there was a lot of criticism on the inte. Nopany would want such an employee. This was also the reason why Joes did not punish her. As the saying goes,¡¯a pitiful person must have a hateful side¡¯, perhaps this was the case. In the meantime, Qiao sisi had also called detective Wen to ask about Qiao Lei. Qiao Lei was already in debt of 500000 Yuan. He didn¡¯t know how long it would take for him to pay off this huge debt. It could not be said that everything was going well, but other than the betrayal and the leaking of the design, everything else was going well. ¡°Pi Li pa,¡± the sound of typing on the keyboard was endless. After looking at theputer for a while, Joes nced at the darkening sky outside and could not help but rub her neck. After sitting in front of theputer for an entire afternoon, even she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She needed to rest. ¡°Buzz.¡± At this moment, his phone vibrated. Qiao si picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Zheng Zeyi. She would receive a reply to the message she had sent earlier. Zheng Zeyi had just finished his meal and had sent her a message. Zheng Zeyi: ¡°I just finished a social event. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to return home tomorrow. Remember to pick me up at the airport.¡± ¡°You¡¯reing back tomorrow?¡± Upon seeing this news, joesse blinked her eyes and her red lips parted slightly. Her eyes flickered with surprise. However, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he could not hide the smile. Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Is there anything else you need to deal with

Speaking of which, she had not seen Zheng Zeyi for many days and she missed him a little. However, joesse would never express this longing out loud. She was still a little embarrassed. After some thought, she quickly typed a few words on the screen and replied,¡±I¡¯ve also just finished handling the matters at hand. Joesse waited for a while but did not receive a reply immediately. Just as she was about to pack her things and leave, she received a video call from Zheng Zeyi. Looking at the video on the screen, Joes was stunned for a moment before she picked up the call. ¡°Ding.¡± After the notification, Qiao si could see Zheng Zeyi, who was resting in the hotel, on the other side of the screen. ¡°Sisi.¡± A deep and maic voice came from the other end of the phone. It was as if it was the first time he had heard it, and it was as if it was ringing in his ears. Qiao SI¡¯s face was slightly red as she stared at Zheng Zeyi on the screen. ¡°I¡¯m here. How¡¯s your time abroad? You should be taking good care of yourself and eating on time. Thepany matters are important, but your health is more important. ¡± Zheng Zeyi could not help but chuckle after his long-winded speech. His handsome face had a devilish smile on it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know. I¡¯ve been strictly following your schedule.¡± He slightly raised his beautiful eyebrows. ...... At the same time, Joes was also observing the scene on the other side of the screen. Zheng Zeyi was sitting on the sofa in the hotel room. He could see a huge painting from behind. Joes had seen it before and came to a conclusion almost immediately that this painting was definitely valuable. As expected of the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group, even the reception was so luxurious. Qiao si still admired Zheng Zeyi a little. After a moment, she smiled and said,¡±¡±By the way, have you settled the matter of the cooperation?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all settled. If I don ¡®t, how am I going toe back and see you tomorrow?¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly. He knew what kind of words Joes had the least resistance to, and every single word made her heart tremble. In the end, Joes flew into a rage out of humiliation and said,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, that¡¯s enough. If you continue to tease me like this, I¡¯m going to hang up.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll listen to my wife. I¡¯ll shut up.¡± Zheng zepromised and kept his mouth shut. The way he looked now was a stark contrast to the once high and mighty President Zheng. Even Qiao si could not believe that this was the Zheng Zeyi who used to be so arrogant. The difference was too great. But this change was definitely heading in a good direction. Jossi smiled.¡±I have something to tell you. It¡¯s about star dors. As a major shareholder, you have the right to know.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and was rather curious. After that, Qiao sisi told Zheng Zeyi everything that had happened in thepany, without leaving out a single detail. It was not that the matter was difficult to resolve, but that joesse felt that there was a need to exin it. There was a traitor in thepany. This was no small matter. Take long Qian as an example. She had only asked for apensation of 100 yuan for her design. What if the next time, those bigger projects were found out by the traitors hidden in thepany? The person behind this ... Wouldn¡¯t want to make a move? This waspletely impossible. Hence, Jossi definitely did not want to see such a panickingpany. Therefore, after telling Zheng Zeyi, she still had to tell Chen zuolin about this matter and try to find time to clean up thepany. In any case, he had to fire all those who were not sincere about their work. This way, it would definitely be a significant help to thepany. At least, there would be no more despicable people who would sow discord and leak information. Qiao sisi had also told Zheng Zeyi about this idea. After listening to everything, Zheng ze pursed his thin lips, then moved and said,¡±¡±I understand your thoughts. It¡¯s not impossible to clean up thepany. However, you can just tell me about this matter. You don¡¯t need to tell Chen zuolin. ¡± At this point, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face did not turn red nor did his heart beat fast. He did not look guilty at all. Joes was not stupid and immediately guessed his thoughts. She smiled and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you jealous?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyi did not even try to hide it and directly admitted to this fact. ¡°You¡¯re my fianc¨¦e, I don¡¯t want you to have any contact with other men,¡±he said seriously. Upon hearing this, Joes¡¯s heart could not help but tremble. As if something soft had been touched, she revealed a gentle smile.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do. It¡¯s just business. Brother Chen helped me start thispany. He¡¯s the boss behind it. This time, such a big thing has happened. It¡¯s not appropriate for me to not tell him. ¡± Since Qiao sisi had already said so, even if Zheng Zeyi was a little unhappy, he did not say anything more. On the terrifying aspect of a jealous man. After the two of them talked on the phone for some time, Joes looked at the time.¡±Then you should rest for a while, I¡¯m going to get off work.¡± ¡°...Alright.¡± Hearing a certain man who seemed to be reluctant to part with her but was unwilling to show it, Jossi¡¯s smile deepened. She shed a bright smile at Zheng Zeyi. After greeting him, she hung up the video call and kept her phone. ¡°Di di.¡± Joes rang the bell, and Millie, who was in the office outside the door, heard it and quickly walked in. ¡°President, is there anything else you need to do?¡± she asked, a little confused. ¡°Yes.¡± Joes nodded and said,¡±I need you to give me a list of thepany¡¯s employees, including their basic information.¡± You can just give it to me tomorrow morning. It¡¯s almost time to get off work, so you can go back first. ¡± Millie blinked her eyes and more or less understood what Joes meant. She said,¡±¡±Yes, I understand, President.¡± After giving out the instructions, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. The people in thepany had also left one after another, but the heat of the traitor¡¯s appearance today had not died down. Joesse thought that even if she did not tell Chen zuolin, she would probably have seen the rumors all over the inte. Having too many enemies was not a good thing. At the thought of Jianghai, the culprit, Joes¡¯s eyes darkened. She had to think of a foolproof n. After what Jianghai had done, Joes would not let him off. He was asking for it. She had not mentioned to Zheng Zeyi that she had chosen to take revenge on Jianghai city. In fact, not many people knew about it. After work, Joes left thepany in her car and headed in the direction of the blue sky Apartment. Chapter 392

Chapter 392: Three hundred thousand is not enough

During the drive, because it was rush hour after work, the road was full of traffic and it was very congested. It took a few minutes to stop after driving for a while. During this period of time, joesse did not idle around. She took advantage of the time and found a private detective with a good reputation. This time, she chose not to contact detective Wen. They could not put all their eggs in the same basket. It was not that Joes suspected detective Wen, but it was a necessary precaution. Not everything had to be done by detective Wen. Besides, detective Wen had mentioned to her before that there had been a lot of work recently. She had entrusted him with so many tasks that he was embarrassed to look for her every time. The incident in Jianghai was not a big deal. They could just find a capable private detective to investigate. After contacting the private Investigator, joesse told him all the basic information she knew about Jianghai. She could offer a price, but the problem was that she had to get hold of something that could be used against the Jiang Corporation or Jiang hai. Only with such evidence would she be able to do what Joes wanted. The detective didn¡¯t hesitate to ept the mission after confirming the details. The duration of the mission was set to be a week. Looking at the chat history on her phone, the corners of Jossi¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. ¡°I hope that this time, some people will suffer the consequences of their own actions.¡± ...... ¡­¡­¡­ Same time, but different ce. Qiao Lei, who had just left the casino, felt his heart in his throat. He was clearly standing in front of the door, but he didn¡¯t dare to open it. He had no idea how he was going to tell his family that he was in debt again. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to say anything at this moment. The main reason was ... The Qiao family simply couldn¡¯t afford to return the money. Taking a deep breath, Qiao Lei controlled his stiff expression and reached out to knock on the door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± The knocking had just started when Liu Yun, who was inside, hurriedly opened the door. When she saw Qiao Lei outside, she quickly brought him in. ¡°Little Lei is back!¡± She shouted towards the room, which attracted the attention of Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was still in the room, and Qiao Feng, who was draining his energy in the living room. They were all very concerned about the debt. After all, it concerned their future. Qiao Lei¡¯s every step was a little slow. After he sat on the sofa in the living room, the big stone in his heart was still not lifted. ¡°How is it? Xiao Lei, you¡¯ve already given the 300000 to boss long, right?¡± Qiao Feng asked anxiously as he put out the cigarette in his hand. Even Zhao Hai ¡®er could not help but raise her eyebrows and stare at Qiao Lei. After a long silence, Qiao Lei nodded and said,¡±¡±Dad, I¡¯ve already returned the 300000 Yuan,¡± There was something else that he did not say. Although he had paid off the 300000 Yuan, he had been possessed and participated in another bet. This time, it wasn¡¯t 300000 Yuan, but 500000 Yuan, which was almost doubled. Up until now, Qiao Lei had no clue. He also knew that with his family¡¯s current situation, they simply couldn¡¯t afford to pay off this debt. He didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud and just observed the situation in secret, hoping to find an opportunity. ¡°It¡¯s good that you returned it, it¡¯s good that you returned it!¡± Liu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. Qiao Feng didn¡¯t think too much about it. He patted Qiao Lei¡¯s shoulder and said,¡±¡±Since we¡¯ve returned the favor, we have nothing to do with that boss long anymore.¡± ¡°Yeah, that boss long doesn¡¯t look like a good person.¡± Liu Yun chimed in. The two of them chose to believe blindly. Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had been watching from the side, saw that something was wrong. ¡°Qiao Lei, shouldn¡¯t you be happy that you¡¯ve already returned the money? Why do you still have a bitter face?¡± The sudden words stunned Liu Yun, Qiao Lei, and the other two. With that thought in mind, Liu Yun realized that her son¡¯s expression had not been pleasant since the moment he entered the room. Even Qiao Lei did not expect Zhao Hai ¡®er to say that. Before Liu Yun could ask, Qiao Lei red at Zhao Hai ¡®er and vented his anger on her,¡±¡±When I say I¡¯ve returned the money, I mean it! You don¡¯t have to say anything, you¡¯re not the one who¡¯s going to pay me back. Also, even if I look bitter, it¡¯s not your fault. ¡± The angry roar reverberated in the house. The soundproofing of this old apartment was not good to begin with. Not to mention that Qiao Lei was shouting so loudly. He had just finished shouting when the sound of cursing came from next door. ¡°It¡¯ste at night, what¡¯s with the noise! Don¡¯t you know you¡¯re disturbing someone¡¯s rest?¡± The voice came intermittently. Qiao Lei, who was still angry just now, red at the room next door but did not say anything. Zhao Hai ¡®er pouted after receiving his scolding.¡±¡±Why are you shouting at me? I only asked a question.¡± ¡°Pa!¡± The next moment, Qiao Lei mmed his palm on the table, making a loud sound. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t use too much force this time, so he didn¡¯t disturb the neighbors. Qiao Feng also noticed that something was wrong. He looked at Qiao Lei and asked,¡±¡±Lei, what happened?¡± Hearing this, Qiao Lei¡¯s expression finally eased a little. However, he wasn¡¯t prepared to reveal the debt right now. Even if he did, it would be useless. ¡°It¡¯s not about anything else, dad. Didn¡¯t you give me 350000 Yuan?¡±Qiao Lei¡¯s face was gloomy. I thought I could keep the remaining 50000, but that boss long insisted on using it as interest. ¡± At this point, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes flickered and he touched the bank card in his pocket. There was still 50000 Yuan in the card. He had to think of a way to stop the debt from weighing on his head. He couldn¡¯t count on his family. The house had already been sold, what else could he do? As for the fact that the money in the card had not been taken away, Qiao Feng and the others did not know at all. At this moment, they also showed their anger towards the same enemy. ¡°What kind of person is he? taking 300000 Yuan is not enough, he¡¯s even going after 50000 Yuan!¡± Liu Yun cursed. They¡¯re really a bunch of ckers, they don¡¯t deserve to live in this world!¡± She was so angry that her face turned red and her saliva flew everywhere. In fact, Liu Yun already had her eyes on the 50000 Yuan. At first, she did not think that the money would be treated as interest. But now that Qiao Lei had said it himself and he was so depressed, he had to believe it. ¡°Well said, bah! A bunch of punks!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes were dark as he cursed as well. He didn¡¯t expect boss long and the others to really follow the pole. The two of them didn¡¯t expect the truth to be that Qiao Lei owed another 500000 Yuan. If they knew, they would probably copse. Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Chapter 394-just be a little faster

Hearing Qiao Feng and Liu Yun cursing in unison, Qiao Lei stopped them,¡±¡±Alright, dad, I don¡¯t want to talk about this anymore.¡± After he said that, he subconsciously touched his pocket. After putting the hard card in his pocket, Qiao Lei heaved a sigh of relief. With money on him, he would always have some confidence. ¡°Sigh ... Alright, since you¡¯ve said so, Lei, then we can¡¯t do anything about it. We can¡¯t afford to offend boss long and his gang.¡± Qiao Feng saw through reality. ¡°They¡¯re simply a group of scum! I¡¯m so angry!¡± Liu Yun was still unable to control her emotions. Her family was greedy to begin with, and this was a whole 50000 Yuan! Qiao Lei lowered his head guiltily, but he still felt a little relieved. No matter what, it was a good thing that this matter could be kept a secret for now. He had to keep this 50000 Yuan and find an opportunity to earn some money. At this moment, Qiao Lei had no idea that the 500000 Yuan debt was the beginning of the bad news of his next life. Zhao Hai ¡®er was probably the only person in the Qiao family who did not believe his lie. She stared at Qiao Lei¡¯s face for a long time, afraid to miss any details. After looking at it for a long time, he doubtfully retracted his gaze and rubbed his chin with his fingers.¡±Is it really as simple as spending 50000 Yuan more?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t believe it, but she didn¡¯t have any evidence. She didn¡¯t know what was going on. ...... ¡°By the way, Lei, your mother has found a job. She¡¯s a waitress in a restaurant.¡± At this point, Qiao Feng was still a little proud. He had asked the other workers at the construction site for an address. It was a small restaurant in city H. They didn¡¯t hire waitresses, but cleaners. She was paid three thousand a month, and she had to do all the dirty work. Liu Yun¡¯s expression was not very good, but Qiao Feng did not care. In his eyes, as long as Liu Yun could contribute a little to the family and provide some money, that would be enough. ¡°Oh, really? Mom, that¡¯s great. ¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes were filled with joy while Liu Yun pouted.¡±This is the only thing I can do here.¡± 3,000 Yuan a month was not a lot, but it was better than not being able to make ends meet. At this time, Qiao Feng looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er and said coldly,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, you have to hurry up and find a job. It¡¯s impossible for the family to continue supporting you like this. ¡± ¡°I know, dad.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said. She turned around and went back to her room. Her expression changed in an instant, bing a little vicious. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s dissatisfaction with the Qiao family had almost reached a peak. She was also nning to find a way to leave the Qiao family. With that thought in mind, Zhao Hai ¡®er could not be bothered with Qiao Feng¡¯s family, who valued men over women. She returned to her room and closed the door. ¡°This hai ¡®er is getting more and more out of hand!¡± Liu Yun red at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s closed door. Qiao Feng also stood up. He was a little angry.¡±Isn¡¯t this all because of your pampering? now that her attitude is like this, how can we expect her to support us in the future?¡± ¡°Her?¡± As if she had just heard something unbelievable, Liu Yun pointed at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s room,¡±¡±She¡¯s just a daughter. How can she take care of us? besides, don¡¯t we have Xiao Lei?¡± The two of them had ced all their hopes on Qiao Lei, but they didn¡¯t know that they had lost the rest of their lives. Although Qiao Lei was flustered, he suppressed it and didn¡¯t tell her about the debt. He really did not dare to say it! All the paths of the Qiao family began to slowly lead to a low point, and there were no other paths to take. ¡­¡­ The next morning. The first thing that Joes did after she woke up was to go to thepany to settle some matters. After a simple breakfast, she drove her Audi to thepany in just a few minutes. When she arrived at thepany, the first thing she did was to gather the managers of all the departments to the third floor for a meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the leaked design n. It seemed to have been resolved, but there was still a huge loophole. And that was the leaked designs. These were the blood, sweat, and tears of thepany¡¯s design department. They were originally meant to be sold, but now that they had been leaked, they could not be sold at all. Joesse could only think of other ways to prevent the designs from rotting in her hands or being giarized by otherpanies. This was absolutely not allowed! Soon, the managers of each department arrived at the meeting room and sat in their seats. As for Joes, she opened the PowerPoint that she had justpleted the night before. The first page was the leaked design. She put down the remote control and said to the crowd seriously,¡±¡±The leak of the design n is no small matter, although it has indeed been rified. However, these designs are of great importance in the future, so they can no longer be sold as custom-made orders. ¡± A crisp female voice rang out in the conference room, causing the faces of the managers who were listening to her to turn serious. They were all from the samepany, and it was clear that they were bound together for good or bad. They would only be good if thepany was good. At the thought of this, the design Manager raised his hand. Upon seeing this, Joes gestured for him to speak. The design Manager stood up, raised his sses, and said,¡±President, these designs have beenpletely leaked. If other designpanies take a fancy to the highlights, they might giarize it. After all, these designs were just designed and there are no registered brands yet. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. ¡± Joes nodded. She had been worried about this problem and had to solve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, joesse would not have gathered all the Department managers in thepany here today. They were here to discuss this matter. Seeing that joesse agreed with him, the manager of the design department smiled and continued,¡±¡±So, President, in my opinion, these designs can be repainted.¡± ¡°Redo?¡± It was the managers of the other departments who were sitting next to the manager of the design department. The man thought for a moment and asked,¡±it¡¯s fine to redo it, but isn¡¯t it too difficult? it¡¯s better to redesign it.¡± After all, the design has already been leaked and exposed to the public. There are some parts that can¡¯t be taken. ¡± Both had their own reasons. Jossi listened quietly and did not refute. The design Manager nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±Manager Xu, you¡¯re right, but it just happened. There¡¯s still hope. As long as ourpany moves faster, everything will be fine.¡± Chapter 394

Chapter 394: There¡¯s something I need to talk to you about

The design manager¡¯s smile deepened. This time, even joesse was interested. She raised her eyebrows and said,¡±¡±Please continue.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The design Manager nodded.¡±President, the ¡®return¡¯ I¡¯m talking about is just a slight modification to the design. It¡¯ll be fine as long as it¡¯s different from the leaked design.¡± We¡¯ll just announce to the outside world that what was leaked wasn¡¯t the finished product. Those designpanies who want to imitate it will have to think twice. ¡± What the manager said was exactly what joesse wanted. Her eyes lit up and she immediately agreed,¡±¡±Alright. In that case, I¡¯ll leave the matter of the design drafts being changed to you. We must do our best. As for the other matters, I also have some ideas. ¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± The manager of the design department seemed to have already guessed that this n would seed, and his expression was very calm. After that, joesse told the Department managers about her preparations to open a shop and the application for a brand. These were all assigned by Chen zuolin from Heng Yuan. If they were not trusted, he would not have brought them to Qiao si SI¡¯s star essence Corporation. Hence, Joes had absolute trust in this group of managers. ...... Of course, she wasn¡¯tpletely defenseless. She still had her guard up. She wasn¡¯t a fool to believe everyone. ¡°As long as the brand application is approved and the store is bought, these designs can be made into finished products and sold directly in the store. What do you think of this method? Basically, we won¡¯t lose anything, but we have to move quickly. ¡± Joes said. The PowerPoint slides shed past page by page on the screen. On them were some of the ns that Joes had madest night. Her words were also very clear. There was only one important point, which was to act quickly. He had to get the brand application and the storefront done before the other designpanies could do anything. Other than that, he also needed the production department to produce a sample of the leaked designs for Jossi to look through. Since it was something from the store, it had to meet the standard in terms of both quality and appearance. In other words, thepany had a lot of work to do during this period of time, and they had to recruit some staff for the store. After joesse said that, many of the Department managers expressed their agreement. ¡°President, this is a good idea. We are self-sufficient. Compared to otherpanies, ourpany has enough background and connections. If we open a shop, these designs won¡¯t have to be kept in the cold storage, and can all be made into jewelry and sold. ¡± The design manager¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The president¡¯s idea is perfect.¡± ¡°Not bad, opening a shop is indeed a good idea.¡± Hearing the agreement of the managers, joesse smiled and continued,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll start to assign tasks. The marketing and public rtions departments will continue to deal with the public opinion online and try to minimize the impact. As for those design drawings, delete them if you can. ¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± The managers of the publicity and public rtions departments said in unison. Then, Joes¡¯s gaze fell on the other departments.¡±¡±Manager of the design department, just do as I said. But after the design is finished, it needs to be sent to the production department. I need to take a look at the jewelry samples. ¡± Apart from that, Joes had also arranged for many other missions. After perfecting everything that she could think of, Joes heaved a sigh of relief.¡±Do you all understand?¡± ¡°Understood, President!¡± All the managers replied. At this point, the meeting finally came to an end. Joes closed the PowerPoint and said,¡±¡±Then ... The meeting is over!¡± After the meeting ended, all the Department managers returned to their work with the tasks given by Joes. This was a precursor to thepany¡¯s major purge, so they had toplete their mission well. ¡°Miley.¡± Joes waved her hand, and Millie, who had been standing at the door, walked into the meeting room. Just as she walked to Joes ¡®side, a pile of documents was stuffed into Millie¡¯s hands. Upon seeing this, Joes revealed a smirk.¡±¡±Miley, I¡¯ll leave these documents to you for the time being.¡± ¡°I ... I understand, President.¡± Miley smiled helplessly. Joesse did not waste any time. She returned to the office to collect the design drafts for the deep sea series before heading to the production department. If he wanted to open a shop, he had to have the jewelry from the highlight Series. As for Joes, the ¡®deep sea¡¯ series, which had a deep meaning, could be said to be the best choice. Perhaps the old joesse would not have expected that the design drafts woulde in handy in just a year¡¯s time. At the production department. Joes passed the design drafts to the only few people in the production department that she could trust. She nced at the design draft and said,¡±¡±These design drafts are very important. You must be very careful and not cause this ident again.¡± If the ¡°deep sea¡± series of blueprints were to be leaked, the situation would definitely not be so simple. This design was extremely important to joesse, and she would not allow anyone else to taint it. The few people who were entrusted with important tasks looked at each other and nodded solemnly. They said seriously,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. We¡¯ll definitely take good care of this design. After the sample is produced, it will be sent to the president¡¯s office as soon as possible. No one will know about it. ¡± After hearing this, Joes felt slightly more at ease.¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll leave this matter to you guys.¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± After giving her instructions in every detail, Joes left the production department with a peace of mind. These people could be trusted, so it was better to hand them over to them than to hand them over to others. At this moment, joesse¡¯s phone in her pocket started to ring. She stopped in her tracks and took a look at her phone. The contact name on the page was very familiar, and she couldn¡¯t react for a moment. It was actually ... Chen zuolin, whom they hadn¡¯t contacted for a few days. Joes blinked her eyes and picked up the phone without hesitation.¡±¡±Big brother Chen, you were looking for me?¡± When Chen zuolin heard this familiar voice, he finally smiled. ¡°Yes, I do have something to talk to you about.¡± This was ... Joes squinted her eyes and asked curiously,¡±¡±What happened?¡± ¡°My mom wants to see you.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s words were shocking as he directly stated the truth. However, upon hearing those words, Joes¡¯s expression turned as golden as gold. She could not understand why she would hear those words. She even looked at the screen of the phone in surprise to confirm that it was Chen zuolin who was talking to her. Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Jossi is shocked

However, this was too strange. This was something that Chen zuolin would say. And why did Chen zuolin¡¯s mother want to see her? What else had happened that she didn¡¯t know? Right now, Joes waspletely confused and could not understand the situation at all. Chen zuolin seemed to have guessed that Qiao sisi would be confused. He pursed his lips and said,¡±¡±Sisi, are you confused now?¡± Joesse was speechless. Her eyes widened and she said with certainty,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, I really don¡¯t understand why Auntie wants to see me.¡± Was there any inevitable connection between the two? Hearing this, Chen zuolin also fell silent and didn¡¯t answer immediately. In fact ... He had to start from the beginning. When Chen zuolin returned home that day, he had wanted to go to the study to get a document, but Qi Yan had mentioned the blind date. After a long time, Chen zuolin had no choice but to mention Joes, but he did not mention her name. It was also because of this that Qi Yan was very curious about Qiao sisi and wanted to meet her. Chen zuolin had no other choice but to make this phone call. He was also helpless against his mother. ...... Hence, when he asked for the reason, he did not tell Joes directly. ¡°I heard that I have a friend, so I¡¯m curious and want to meet him. Don¡¯t worry.¡± For some reason, Chen zuolin decided to keep this a secret. After a pause, he continued,¡±Of course, if you don¡¯t want toe, I won¡¯t force you.¡± After hearing this, joesse understood what was going on and thought about it. There did not seem to be anything particrly important to do. She still had to give him some face. She blinked and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll be there in a bit. Brother Chen, send me the address.¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯m already downstairs at your office.¡± A deep voice sounded. He¡¯s already downstairs? Joes was extremely surprised. It seemed like he had already prepared to bring her out for a meal. However, having a meal with Chen zuolin¡¯s mother, no matter how he thought about it, seemed a little awkward. If Chen zuolin had not helped her so much that she could not reject him, she would not have agreed either. ¡°Then ... Okay. Brother Chen, wait for me. I¡¯lle down now.¡± Joes said. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After she greeted him, she hung up the phone and put it away. Initially, Jossi had nned to do some other things in thepany in the afternoon. However, it seemed like there was no need for that now. After all, Chen zuolin still needed help. After giving Millie some instructions, Joes took her belongings and left star Yuan design. However, she still had to pay attention to the time for this meal. Zheng Zeyi came back at night, and she had to pick him up at the airport. Naturally, she could not miss him. At the main entrance, Joes searched for a while and finally found a ck luxury car by the side of the road. It was low-key but luxurious, which seemed to be Chen zuolin¡¯s style. Raising her brows, joesse did not hesitate and walked straight to the car. Through the car window, she was stunned to see Chen zuolin¡¯s handsome face. Even her side profile was perfect. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± Joes revealed a smile and reached out to knock on Chen zuolin¡¯s car window. She smiled and called out,¡±¡±Big brother Chen.¡± Chen zuolin also noticed her at the first moment, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time in a while. He only smiled more when he was with Joes. Usually, in thepany, those people under him would not smile at all. It was all Chen zuolin¡¯s cold face. He rolled down the window and smiled,¡±¡±Long time no see, sisi. Get in the car.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes gave an ¡®ok¡¯ sign and sat in the front passenger seat. Seeing this, Chen zuolin started the car and drove in the direction of the Chen family vi. The atmosphere in the car was rather quiet. Joes nced at Chen zuolin, who was driving seriously, and asked curiously,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, what did you tell Auntie about me?¡± She was indeed curious about this, and she wanted to know what Chen zuolin had said. However, Chen zuolin¡¯s hand on the steering wheel paused for a moment when he heard her words. It was only for a short moment, but it did not attract Jossi¡¯s attention. It was as if he was not in a daze at all. Chen zuolin slightly pursed his thin lips and thought for a while. Then, he said,¡±Nothing much. She just said that you¡¯re very smart and a strong woman in the business world.¡± Upon hearing that, Joes came to a sudden realization and nodded her head slightly.¡±¡±Then I have to thank big brother Chen for your praise.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the truth,¡± These two extremely straight words seemed to have apletely different vor when they came out of Chen zuolin¡¯s mouth. Joesse¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She did not say anything else and looked at the scenery that shed past the window. It had been five minutes since she got into the car. At this time, Zheng Zeyi had already boarded his private ne and was on his way back home. However, they did not know that someone had also left the country and bought a ne ticket to city H. After another five minutes. Chen zuolin stopped the car and opened the car door for Joes in a gentlemanly manner. He brought her to the Chen family¡¯s Vi. Looking at the luxurious vi in front of her, Jossi¡¯s eyes lit up. She could not help but exim in her heart,¡¯he is indeed a rich man.¡¯ Not only Chen zuolin, but even Zheng ze¡¯s family¡¯s Vi was very luxurious. It was a pity ... The current joesse had not reached this stage yet. She still needed to work hard to improve thepany. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you in to have a look. ¡± Upon hearing Chen zuolin¡¯s words, joesse hurriedly followed behind him and entered the vi. The vi was still as luxurious as ever, exuding a sense of luxury. Jossi had seen such scenes many times, but she was not as shocked as the first time she saw it. Instead, she was very calm. After passing through a small path, Jossi and Chen zuolin entered the vi together. They saw a huge mural in the living room of the vi. On the mural was a woman with a sweet smile. She wore a white dress and the smile on her face was extremely bright. In an instant, it attracted Joris¡¯s attention, causing her to be slightly surprised. ¡°This is ...¡± Just as Jossi voiced out her doubts, Chen zuolin guessed what she wanted to ask and exined,¡±¡±This is my mother.¡± This is Auntie? Joes was shocked, because the woman on the mural was too young, looking like she was only in her twenties. In addition, she was wearing a white dress that perfectly brought out her graceful figure, which further lowered her age. Chapter 396

Chapter 396: That¡¯s not a good person

¡°Aunty, you look so young.¡± Joes retracted her gaze and smiled at Chen zuolin. However, Chen zuolin retorted and said something rather serious. ¡°It¡¯s a mural from many years ago, and my mother specifically asked the painter to make it this way. Don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± Joes¡¯s mouth twitched, but she did not say anything. She didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to treat her like an outsider. He even told her about this matter so directly. If Auntie knew about this, she would probably feel helpless. After looking at the murals, Chen zuolin led Joes to the living room on the first floor. The living room was huge, at least a few dozen square meters. She could not tell with her eyes, but Joes could make a rough guess. There was a young-looking woman sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Jossi, her eyes lit up. He immediately stopped watching the television and stood up. He quickly walked to Joes ¡®side and said,¡±¡±You must be zuolin¡¯s friend. What a pretty little girl.¡± Even though his actions were a little sudden and even Jossi was a little shocked, she did not feel any ill will towards him. Qi Yan was very good with her words, and her words made joesse smile. After she came back to her senses, she nodded slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±Hello, Auntie. I¡¯m Jossi, brother Chen¡¯s friend.¡± ...... ¡°Oh? A friend. ¡± Qi Yan¡¯s pretty eyebrows couldn¡¯t help but raise a little, and then she gave Chen zuolin a subtle look. It was as if he was criticizing Chen zuolin for being too slow. They had known each other for more than a year, but they were only friends in the eyes of this little girl. It was really not open to him. However, when Qi Yan first heard Chen zuolin talk about this, she was actually quite happy. For so many years, there was almost no member of the opposite sex around her son. Even if there was, he had to be in contact with her. This little girl was the first person that Chen zuolin had taken the initiative to mention to Qi Yan, and the nature of the matter waspletely different. This was also one of the reasons why Qi Yan valued Qiao si si so much. Seeing Qi Yan¡¯s resentful gaze, Chen zuolin pursed his thin lips and pretended not to see it. He looked away. Fortunately, Qi Yan was already used to her son¡¯s behavior. She was not too surprised and focused all her attention on joesse. ¡°Sisi,e and sit down with Auntie. Auntie has so much to tell you.¡± Qi Yan warmly invited joesse to sit down. Fortunately, joesse did not think too much about it. After nodding her head obediently, she sat beside Qi Yan. And the reticent Chen zuolin hadpletely be a background character this time. A ray of sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling window and onto joesse¡¯s face, making the fine hair on her face visible. This was also the reason why Qi Yan was so close to her. In addition, joesse was born Pretty, and under the sun, she seemed to be even more dazzling. Qi Yan looked at this girl who could be her ¡°future daughter-inw¡± from head to toe. She was very satisfied. With a smile in her eyes, she said,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re so pretty.¡± ¡°Thank you for thepliment, Auntie Qi.¡± Qiao si SI¡¯s smile was extremely bright, and her impression of this aunt Qi in front of her also¡¯ slowly ¡®increased. It waspletely different from the image of the Auntie in his mind. Chen zuolin¡¯s mother was like a young girl. ¡°Sisi, what does your family do?¡± This time, Qi Yan hadpletely forgotten about Chen zuolin. Upon hearing that, Joes was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. She ... Should just answer him. In any case, it was no different from cutting off all ties with the Qiao family. They were not considered family at all. At the thought of this, Joes deliberated and said,¡±¡±Auntie, my family runs a jewelry designpany. However, thepany¡¯s scale isn¡¯t big yet, and it¡¯s steadily rising. It should be better in the future. ¡± ¡°A jewelry designpany ...¡± Qi Yan nodded in understanding. She seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought. It took her a while toe back to her senses. She widened her eyes and asked with some uncertainty,¡±¡±Sisi, is yourpany¡¯s name Xing Yuan design?¡± After hearing this, Qiao si si did not expect Qi Yan to know Xing Yuan¡¯s name. Although Xing Yuan seemed to be quite famous, it was only on the inte. The publicity department¡¯s publicity was in ce. Not many people from other cities knew about it. Qi Yan didn¡¯t look like someone who would pay attention to such things, but she knew the name of Xing Yuan design. After thinking about it for a while, joesse could more or less figure out the key point. Chen zuolin was the biggest shareholder behind star essence. If he was the one who told Qi Yan, then it made sense. Unfortunately, the truth waspletely different from what joesse had imagined. Chen zuolin had never mentioned this to Qi Yan. Qi Yan smiled.¡±Of course I know. I heard a friend talk about it. He said that it has a lot of potential.¡± This was apliment to Xing Yuan. Joesse was happy to receive Qi Yan¡¯s affirmation, and the smile on her face became even brighter. After that, Qiao si si and Qi Yan had been chatting in the living room. The two of them also got along very well. If one did not know the truth, they would probably think that the two of them were of the same age. On the other hand, Chen zuolin, who had always been the focus of Qi Yan¡¯s attention, had be an existence that no one paid attention to. However, he was happy and at ease. He sat on the sofa beside them and quietly listened to the content of their conversation. His deep gaze would asionallynd on joesse, but it did not attract her attention. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, at an International Airport. Zhu Di dragged his luggage, and behind him was the CEO of mari, as well as Ma Li, who had always been scheming. The international airport was packed with people. However, Zhu Di¡¯s status was different. He took the private passageway and there weren¡¯t many people. It seemed a little empty. ¡°Zhu Di, are you really going to go back and try to settle that President Zheng? I¡¯m telling you, he¡¯s not a kind person. He¡¯s very clear about everything. You¡¯ll know from thest cooperation that dad didn¡¯t get any advantage from that President Zheng. ¡± The president of mari said with a serious expression. He did not want Judy to go. However, there was also a tempting voice. What if Zhu Di seeded? That would mean that Zheng Zeyi would be their allypletely. By then, they would not have to ce so much importance on the 5% annual profit. The CEO of thepany valued Zheng Zeyi a lot. Otherwise, if he did not agree to it, why would Zhu Di be here? Ma Li, on the other hand, was very quiet and didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Chapter 397

Chapter 397: I¡¯ve already eaten a lot

After listening to the CEO¡¯s words, Zhu Di took off his sunsses and revealed his gorgeous face with light makeup. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, dad. I¡¯m very confident that I can win this man over.¡± ¡°Very confident?¡± The president of thepany couldn¡¯t help but wonder. He really did not expect his daughter to have any tricks up her sleeve. After all, Zheng Zeyi was not an easy person to deal with. Zhu Di did not say much, but revealed a thought-provoking expression,¡±¡±Dad, just trust me. If I¡¯m not 100% sure, I won¡¯t choose toe back. How can we let go of such an outstanding man? It¡¯ll be of great help to ourpany. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± The president of thepany nodded. In fact, he had the same thought. As for his daughter, how could she be more important than thepany? ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± After looking at the watch on his wrist and making sure that it was almost time, Zhu Di said to the CEO of thepany. ¡°Alright, go ahead then. Be careful on the way back. You must bring President Zheng back with you after you seed.¡± The president of thepany instructed. When he heard this, Ma Li¡¯s expression changed slightly. From the beginning to the end, he had not said much, and was standing at the side like a background. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. ...... After he finished speaking, Zhu Di dragged his luggage and prepared to leave. He even put on his sunsses again. Just as she was about to enter the passageway, Ma Li¡¯s voice rang out,¡±Zhu Di, wait!¡± The sudden question made Zhu Di he frown slightly as he was curious. Turning around, he realized that Ma Li was walking over. In his hand was a ticket that he had bought in advance. ¡°You ... You also bought a ne ticket?¡± Jodie was in disbelief as he stared at the ne ticket in Ma Li¡¯s left hand. Ma Li finally revealed a smile and raised the ne ticket in his hand.¡±¡±That¡¯s right, Zhu Di, I want to go back with you. ¡± By ¡®go back¡¯, he meant returning to China. Even the CEO of mari, who had been standing next to her for a long time, was stunned. He said in dissatisfaction,¡±¡±Ma Li, how can you make such a decision on your own? You didn¡¯t even tell me about this matter in advance, and Zhu Di and I didn¡¯t even n to make any arrangements. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Li stopped in his tracks. He seemed to have expected that the CEO of mari would say this, so he lowered his head and said respectfully,¡±¡±President, it¡¯s my mistake for not telling you in advance. However, if she were to let Zhu Di go back alone, it would really be too unsafe. She had her own bodyguards and power overseas, but it was not the same in her own country. If I¡¯m by her side, if there¡¯s any danger or anything else, I can help out. ¡± At this moment, Ma Li had ced himself in an extremely humble position. As for whether or not he really thought that way, no one knew. Moreover, after the CEO of mari heard it, his heart wavered a little and he felt that Ma Li was right. Zhu Di was alone outside, so it was a good thing to have someone familiar apanying him. ¡°Ma Li, you don¡¯t have to put on an act and say so much. I don¡¯t need your protection or help. Don¡¯t follow me.¡± Jodie said without any mercy. However, the CEO had already changed his mind. He frowned and said,¡±¡±Zhu Di, don¡¯t be so willful. Ma Li¡¯s right. With him around, you can rx a little. You don¡¯t need to do everything on your own. You also need someone to help you in the country. ¡± ¡°Dad!¡± Zhu Di¡¯s tone was a little resistant. She didn¡¯t want to return to the country with Ma Li at all. This had messed up some of her ns. However, things had alreadye to this, and there was no way to change it. ¡°Alright, this is my decision. Zhu Di, just listen to me. Otherwise, don¡¯t even think abouting back.¡± At this point, the CEO paused and said to Ma Li,¡±Ma Li, you can follow them, but remember, you must protect Zhu Di.¡± After getting his approval, Ma Li¡¯s face revealed a bit of joy and he quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President. ¡± With that, he brought his ne ticket and approached Zhu Di. He didn¡¯t bring any luggage, only a briefcase on his shoulder, which contained some documents and necessary things. He didn¡¯t bring any clothes or horsepower with him, as these could be bought directly in the country. The CEO of Minrui didn¡¯t stay any longer. The two men walked into the passage, and after a few more words, they left the airport. Zhu Di¡¯s face turned cold as he watched the CEO of thepany leave. She coldly looked at Ma Li and said,¡±¡±Why do you have to follow me back to China?¡± ¡°I ...¡± Ma Li choked on his words. After a while, he said,¡±¡±I just want to protect you. It¡¯s not safe in the country.¡± ¡°No need!¡± Jodie said that out loud, before continuing to walk into the tunnel in her high heels. As if she had thought of something, she slowly turned her head and squinted her eyes,¡±¡±Ma Li, it¡¯s fine if you follow me. I won¡¯t argue with you about this matter. But after you return to the country, you must listen to me no matter what. You can¡¯t go against my orders!¡± Seeing that Zhu Di¡¯s attitude wasn¡¯t as determined as it was at the start, Ma Li¡¯s smile grew even wider.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Zhu Di retracted his gaze. Just as he was about to drag his luggage and continue walking, he realized that Ma Li had run over to take his luggage. She didn¡¯t refuse and left immediately, letting Ma Li follow behind. Not long after, the two of them got on a ne and headed towards city h, which also became the biggest change. At this moment, Jossi had just finished her meal at the Chen family¡¯s Vi. The sky had already darkened. In the evening, she had stayed in the Chen family vi for the entire afternoon. Looking at the mountain of vegetables in the bowl in front of her, Joes¡¯s mouth could not help but Twitch. She felt that even after eating for so long, the food in her bowl did not seem to have decreased at all. Qi Yan was too enthusiastic when they were eating. Since it was her first time having a meal at the Chen family¡¯s house, Jossi could not refuse. She could only put all the food that Qi Yan had picked into her bowl. As he picked up more and more, he couldn¡¯t finish them all. Qi Yan very considerately poured a ss of fruit juice for joesse and pushed it in front of her. Then, she looked at the food that had not been touched. She asked worriedly, sisi, why didn¡¯t you eat? Don¡¯t you have any appetite?¡± Just as Qi Yan was about to ask if she wanted to make some new dishes, joesse said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not that, aunt Qi. I¡¯ve actually eaten a lot already. ¡± At the end of her sentence, her voice became much softer.¡±But there were too many dishes in the bowl, so I didn¡¯t finish much.¡± Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Just send it to me

Hearing this, Qi Yan, who was still holding the fruit juice in her hand, could not help but be stunned. Then, sheughed and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re such a cute child.¡± ¡°Thank you ...¡± Joesse felt that the term ¡®cute¡¯ suited aunt Qi better. Chen zuolin was sitting on the side, quietly eating the food in his bowl. When he saw that it was about time, he stood up and said, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, mom. I should send sisi home. It won¡¯t be good if I¡¯mte.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Qi Yan said reluctantly. She had wanted to ask joesse to stay a little longer, but after looking at the sky outside, she agreed. She nodded.¡±Then you can send sisi back first. Remember to be careful on the way back.¡± After giving her blessings to Chen zuolin, Qi Yan turned her attention to joesse,¡±¡±Sisi, you too. If you have time, you have toe and y with me in the future.¡± Joes blinked her eyes and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, Auntie. I¡¯lle and find you when I have time. ¡± ¡°Alright, you guys can go.¡± After they greeted each other, Jossi followed Chen zuolin out of the Chen family¡¯s house and the warm kitchen. Walking on the path at night, the gentle breeze seemed to bring a chill. Chen zuolin walked on the left side of Qiao si. He nced at her side profile and smiled,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, my mother is like that. ...... I might have taken up a bit more of your time today, sisi. ¡± Hearing this, joesse turned her head and stared at Chen zuolin. She shook her head very seriously to refute him. Because she didn¡¯t feel that there was anything to be sorry about. ¡°Brother Chen, you don¡¯t have to say that. I think Auntie Qi is very kind and cute. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it¡¯s already sote, I would¡¯ve wanted to continue chatting with aunt Qi. I was worried that I would be holding you back. ¡± Joes chuckled. It had to be said that her words had swept away all of Chen zuolin¡¯s uneasiness. ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy.¡± Chen zuolin smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. His car was parked in the Chen family¡¯s garage. The moment Joes got into the car, Chen zuolin, who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, asked,¡±¡±Should I send you home or ...¡± Upon hearing that, Joes seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked at the time on her phone. Fortunately, it was only six in the evening. ¡°Fortunately, fortunately, there¡¯s still time.¡± She had almost forgotten that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s flight would arrive at night, and she had to pick him up at night. Joes patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She then smiled at Chen zuolin. ¡°Brother Chen, you don¡¯t have to send me home. Just send me to thepany building.¡± Hearing this, Chen zuolin frowned and asked,¡±¡±It¡¯s sote, and you¡¯re still going to the office?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to thepany. ¡± Joes shook her head and fastened her seat belt,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi is back. I¡¯m going to pick him up.¡± Pick up the ne? Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes darkened, and he couldn¡¯te back to his senses for a moment. He didn¡¯t even start the car. After a while, he finally reacted and started the car to drive towards Xing Yuanpany. Chen zuolin didn¡¯t ask much about the arrival, but he felt a sense of loss. Joes, who had sharp senses, sensed that something was amiss almost instantly. She furrowed her brows and looked at Chen zuolin, who was looking at the car seriously. After some deliberation, she said,¡±Big brother Chen, did I ... Say something wrong?¡± At the thought of this, Joes began to reflect on herself, but she still could not figure out what she had said wrong. If she did, she would apologize without hesitation. Chen zuolin was a very good friend, and joesse did not wish for him to hold any grudges against her. Chen zuolin¡¯s brows rxed a little when he saw that Joes was frowning in deep thought. Even the feeling of disappointment he felt earlier was swept away a little. ¡°It¡¯s not because of you,¡± he said in a low voice.¡±I just thought of something. There¡¯s no need to me myself.¡± Since Chen zuolin had already said so, Joes could only choose to believe him. She said helplessly,¡±¡±Alright then, big brother Chen. There are some things that you don¡¯t have to think too much about.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The car was quiet all the way until they finally arrived at Xing Yuan design. After joesse alighted from the car, she greeted Chen zuolin,¡±¡±Brother Chen, I¡¯ll take my leave first. Be careful on the road.¡± ¡°You too,¡± Chen zuolin said. He watched as joesse left. It was only after she got into the car and left that he finally felt at ease. However, Zheng Zeyi was still a thorn in her heart. ¡°Zheng Zeyi ...¡± Chen zuolin furrowed his brows tightly. After letting out a sigh of relief, he suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart and started the car to return to the Chen family. No matter what, he would not give up on Jossi, even if the path ahead was difficult. ¡­¡­¡­ And Joes was not aware of this matter at all. She didn¡¯t know that brother Chen, who she had always treated as a friend, actually had feelings for her like a man and a woman. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly than the people involved. Joes was one of the people involved, and if she did not jump out to see, it would be hard for her to see through Chen zuolin¡¯s hidden thoughts. Moreover, she would never have thought of that when they were together. At that moment, Jossi was driving her car and her destination was city h¡¯s airport. It would take at least half an hour to get there, and there was a bit of traffic on the road. Big cities had many traffic lights. Joes stopped at another intersection. She looked at the traffic light that was counting down and took out her phone. First, she sent a message to Zheng Zeyi, telling him that she was on her way and would arrive at the airport soon. Then, she clicked into the phone page of the other private detective she was looking for. Without hesitation, she pressed the button. ¡± The call went through very quickly. After ringing for a while, the private detective picked up. Joes raised her brows and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s the progress of my Commission?¡± Upon hearing this, the private detectiveughed.¡±Employer, your phone call came at the right time. I just finished gathering the evidence. I¡¯ll send the evidence to your phone now, and you can confirm it. If there¡¯s no problem, you just have to pay me the rest within three days. ¡± ¡°Alright, send it to me.¡± Joes nodded. After that, the two of them hung up. Joesse did not expect the private Investigator to be so fast. In such a short time, he had already gotten hold of the evidence in Jianghai. There were only a few truly capable private detectives in city h, and Jossi had met two of them this time. It could only be said that she was indeed much luckier than the average person. Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Don¡¯t even think about turning things around in this lifetime

Joes was prepared to take a look at the document sent by the private detective. Fortunately, it was still a red light, so she had to wait for a while. If there were no problems, they could talk about the transfer. ¡°Jianghai city¡¯s evidence, heh ...¡± A strange glint shed across Joris ¡®eyes as she opened the document sent by the private detective. Not only were there videos, but there were also photos and documents that could prove Jianghai¡¯s corruption. Joesse had only taken a look, but before she could finish, the red light turned green. She had no choice but to put down her phone for the time being and drive forward. After about half an hour, Joes finally arrived at the airport. Moreover, outside the airport, there were many people like her, all waiting to pick her up. ¡°Buzz ... Buzz ...¡± Her pocket vibrated. Qiao si took a look at her phone and realized that it was a message from Zheng Zeyi. He had already gotten off the ne. That also proved that he wasing out! Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes brightened. She had not seen Zheng Zeyi for a few days and she was starting to miss him, but she was too embarrassed to say it. ...... Standing in front of the pick-up point, Joes stared into the room in a daze. At this moment, arge group of people swarmed out. They had just gotten off the ne, but after searching for a long time, Zheng Zeyi was nowhere to be seen. ¡°Where is Zheng Zeyi?¡± Qiao sisi was a little anxious, but she did not see Zheng Zeyi even after a group of people had walked past. Where was he? Confusion filled her mind, but before she could think of an answer, a warm handnded on her shoulder. ¡°Who is it?¡± Joes¡¯s expression instantly turned alert. She turned around and saw an extremely familiar face. Long and narrow eyshes, deep eyes, and a handsome face that looked as if it had been Kissed by an Angel. Joes was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she revealed a happy expression,¡±¡±Zeyi, what are you doing here?¡± She nced at Zheng Zeyi, then at the empty pick-up gate, and her doubts grew. That¡¯s right, the person standing in front of her was Zheng Zeyi, whom she had not seen for a few days. The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he ruffled joesse¡¯s hair and said in a pampering tone,¡±¡±Silly, I¡¯m being picked up by a private ne. Of course you won¡¯t see me at the gate.¡± Private ne. Joes caught onto the keywords. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little vexed in his heart. As expected, he was still too impatient. He had actually forgotten such a simple thing! ¡°I forgot, but it¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. Let¡¯s go back to the apartment.¡± Joes tried her best to hide her embarrassment. The moment she finished her sentence, she noticed assistant Li¡¯s presence. It seemed that assistant li did not have a car to pick her up either. After blinking her eyes, joesse asked,¡±¡±Assistant Li, I drove here. Why don¡¯t I ... Drive you home?¡± As soon as the slightly doubtful voice rang out, assistant li immediately refused,¡±¡±No, No, thank you for your kindness. I¡¯ve already sent someone to pick me up. You and the president can go back first. Be careful on the road. ¡± Since he had already said so, Jossi could not say anything else and could only nod her head. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi, who was at the side, inadvertently gave assistant li a satisfied look. He was getting better at doing things. After assistant li left, Jossi and Zheng Zeyi did not stay any longer and returned to the car with their luggage. Qiao si sat in the driver¡¯s seat while Zheng Zeyi sat in the passenger¡¯s seat. She nced at their seats and could not help but smile in her heart. She had been with Zheng Zeyi for so long, but this was the first time she had sat down. Zheng Zeyi was usually the one sitting in the driver¡¯s seat. On her right, Zheng Zeyi seemed to have seen her sly smile and curled his lips.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Do I change my position after I¡¯m done?¡± After saying that, Joes¡¯s pupils contracted and she immediately started the car. She said,¡±¡±No need, I¡¯ll go back now.¡± Then, the car sped away. In the meantime, Qiao sisi even requested Zheng Zeyi to tell her about some things that happened overseas. However, in the past few days, apart from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s inspection of the location and the negotiations, nothing else seemed to have happened. Joesse looked at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s calm expression and raised her brows slightly. She believed his words. ¡­¡­¡­ A few minutester, at the blue sky Apartment. In front of the apartment, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were in a deadlock. She leaned against the door, blinked, and asked,¡±¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Nothing much. I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time, so I wanted to visit your house.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips curled up into a charming smile. It was just that the lights in the corridor were slightly dimmer at night, and the ambiguous atmosphere was strong. Joes did not look at his smile carefully, or she would have been mesmerized again. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si pondered for a while and rejected him directly. ¡°It¡¯s not good for a man and a woman to be alone at night, right? Besides, you¡¯ve just returned to the country, so you¡¯d better hurry back to your apartment to rest. That¡¯s all! I¡¯ll be leaving first!¡± With that, Joes prepared to escape and quickly entered her own apartment. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile deepened as he watched her escape, but he did not choose to chase after her. ¡°I¡¯m going back to rest,¡± he said to the door.¡±Remember to prepare breakfast for me tomorrow.¡± In your dreams! Joes cursed in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She replied obediently,¡±¡±I know. You should go back now.¡± After getting a response, Zheng Zeyi did not stay in the corridor any longer. He turned around and returned to his apartment. However, what Qiao sisi did not know was that after he turned around, Zheng Zeyi took another look at his keys and a smile shed across his eyes. At night, the stars twinkled in the night sky. Compared to a few days ago, the weather today was undoubtedly much better. Joes sat on the balcony for a while. After enjoying the breeze, she suddenly remembered something important. She had originally nned to read it in the car, but the red light was too short, so she didn¡¯t have time to read it. At the thought of this, Jossi returned to her room and picked up her phone to look at the document sent by the private detective. After more than ten minutes, Joes finally finished reading the explosive content of the document and could not help but sigh. ¡°This Jianghai city ... Is indeed an amazing person.¡± She raised her eyebrows slightly, but her eyes did not leave the phone. The document stated the facts of Jianghai¡¯s corruption. Not only was there evidence in the form of a document, but there was even a recording. Jianghai was a greedy man. Even in hispany, there were many people who were exploited. Joes did a rough calction. In this document, Jianghai had embezzled at least 20 million. 20 million was not just 2000 Yuan! If this amount of money was known to outsiders, he would definitely be in Jianghai¡¯s prison and would never be able to make aeback. Because this was a huge stain, no one would want him anymore. Chapter 400 - Why don’t you go and die?

Chapter 400: Why don¡¯t you go and die?

Other than corruption, Jianghai city had also organized many charity events. Upon seeing this, Joes could not help but feel enraged. She wanted to find Jianghai, which was nowhere to be found. How could a person like him do charity in peace? The main purpose of Jianghai¡¯s charity events was to make money for themselves. The amount of money that could really reach the disaster victims or refugees was pathetically little, or even none. They were only used as a gimmick by Jianghai! ¡°Jianghai, you deserve to die!¡± Joes cursed under her breath. Other than feeling indignant, she also felt a sense of determination to win. With all this evidence, once it was exposed, Jianghai city would have a hard time making aeback. There was also some other explosive evidence of Jianghai¡¯s private life, but joesse did not Continue reading. She directly copied the huge file into a ck USB drive on theputer. Only then did Jossi heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, she had her own considerations. He would find time to meet with Jianghai in a crowded ce while ensuring his own safety. ...... As for the content of the deal, she had almost thought of it. Now, she was just short of implementing it. ¡°But when the timees, I¡¯ll still have to let Zeyi know in advance.¡± At the thought of this, the corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly. After settling the matter, she turned around to take a bath and rest. ¡­¡­¡­ The next day, early in the morning. While Jossi was still at home, a certain someone had already left the house in the wee hours of the morning. It was the Qiao family¡¯s sister-inw, Zhao Hai ¡®er. After she sneaked out of the Qiao family¡¯s residence, she walked in a certain direction with a clear goal in mind. ¡°Thank God. I definitely can¡¯t let them help me choose a job.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er mumbled as she walked. She seemed to be relieved. After Qiao Lei returned, Liu Yun and the others had specifically mentioned work to Zhao Hai ¡®er that night. Liu Yun also mentioned that she had found a decent job near the restaurant that she had found. Zhao Hai ¡®er was not an idiot. If the work was arranged for Liu Yun and the others, they would know everything. If he had to pay a certain amount of money every month, wouldn¡¯t he be exposing all his secrets? Zhao Hai ¡®er would not do something like this, which was why she had written it out early in the morning, so that she would not be caught by Liu Yun and be sent to another restaurant for an interview. Walking on the streets, there were many people who woke up early in the morning, but the recruitment office was not open. Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but feel a little lost. As for the small recruitment shops by the roadside, even if she saw the information, she would definitely not want to apply. A few minutester, she stopped at a clothing store. ¡°This clothing store ... It¡¯s not bad,¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er took a look at the job information for the clothing store. She was looking for a salesperson, with a base sry of about 3500 Yuan a month. The rest would be the Commission from selling the clothes. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes brightened up after she took a closer look. If that was the case, she would hide it from Liu Yun and the others. As for the 3500 Yuan, he would have to inform Liu Yun and the others about it. However, he could still reduce the cost by 500 yuan. Otherwise, the Qiao family would not allow Zhao Hai ¡®er to work there if her sry was not as high as Liu Yun¡¯s after she had spent so much effort to find a job. Inparison, Zhao Hai ¡®er also wanted to leave the Qiao family, but it was not as simple as she thought. How could Liu Yun let go of such a good Coolie who was not even married? At this point, Zhao Hai ¡®er was envious of Joes. Zhao Hai ¡®er jotted down the phone number on the job advertisement. She hesitated for a while, and when she saw that it was already Seveno¡¯ clock, she quickly called. ¡°Toot ...¡± The call went through quickly, but no one picked up after a long time. Just as Zhao Hai ¡®er was getting impatient, someone finally picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, who¡¯s this? You¡¯re calling so early in the morning, can¡¯t you let me sleep!¡± An irritable female voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhao Hai ¡®er was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that the person on the phone was probably the boss¡¯s wife. At the very least, he should be the store manager. Otherwise, how would he be qualified to manage the recruitment? Zhao Hai ¡®er suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled,¡±¡±Hello, I¡¯m sorry. I might have called a little early. Well ... I saw the application information for the clothing store and wanted to apply for the job. The store should still be hiring, right?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s breathing quickened when she heard the question. The woman on the other end of the phone wasn¡¯t as irritable as before, but her tone was still full of dissatisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s a recruitment,¡± she said.¡±I¡¯m looking for a fashion salesperson. You¡¯re here to apply for a job. Do you have any experience?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any experience, but ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was about to continue, but the video call was hung up. Her face was a little dazed. She looked at the phone that was hung up and was stunned for a long time before she reacted. His face was as dark as charcoal. ¡°Bah! Do you really think you¡¯re that good?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious, but she could not bear to touch her phone, so she kept it. It was just a small clothing store, but it was quite capable. When it heard that there was no experience, it immediately hung up the phone. Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the recruitment Notice for the clothing store and had a thought. Without any hesitation, she pulled the recruitment Board down and stomped on it a few times, as if this was the only way to vent her anger. ¡°Bah! You¡¯re all a bunch of B * tches, why don¡¯t you just go and die!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed. Fortunately, there was no one around in the early morning, otherwise, her actions would have been noticed. After venting her anger, Zhao Hai ¡®er did not care about the board on the ground. She kicked it aside and went to look for a job elsewhere. Her face was a little twisted, and hatred shed in her eyes. She did not believe that Jossi, that B * tch, could be the CEO of Xing Yuan design, while she could not even find a job. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t want to give up, but she didn¡¯t know what the reason was. The two of them were too different in terms of personality and way of doing things. Zhao Hai ¡®er continued to look for a job, but to no avail. The number of people on the street slowly increased, and many shops opened. These were all Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s targets. At that moment, joesse had just woken up to prepare breakfast. She had no idea that someone would go to herpany to look for her after failing to find a job. Chapter 401

Chapter 401: I can¡¯t ept the gift

She took out the leftovers fromst night¡¯s dinner and a few eggs from the refrigerator. Joesse was about to make a te of egg fried rice. After all, there was a saying that fried rice was more fragrant with overnight rice. She had not forgotten that Zheng Zeyi had said that he would prepare breakfast for her. Since that was the case, she had to prepare it well. Very quickly, after being processed by Joes¡¯s craftsmanship, a fragrant egg-fried rice was freshly made. The rice grains were golden in color, with scallions and some other vegetables as embellishments. The appearance was very good, not to mention the taste. Joes took in a breath of the fragrance and raised her brows slightly. She could not help but praise herself,¡±¡±I¡¯m really good at this. ¡± After that, Joes gave it a little taste. After confirming that the taste was eptable, she put down her chopsticks and took out a thermal container. After cing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s egg-fried rice into the thermal lunch box, joesse started to finish her own. At the same time, she didn¡¯t notice that the door of her house had inadvertently made a ¡°Kacha¡± sound. It was only when a shadow loomed over her eyes that Joes realized that something was amiss. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks. She raised her head and waspletely stunned when she saw Zheng ze standing in front of her.¡±¡±Zeyi, how did you get in?¡± After saying that, Joes stood up and looked at the closed door. She started to have some suspicions. Could it be that she forgot to close the doorst night? But it didn¡¯t make sense. ...... Joes remembered very clearly that she had definitely locked the door yesterday. Then, the question was, how did Zheng Zeyi get in? Seeing that Qiao si si was in deep thought, Zheng Zeyi smiled and did not hide anything from her. He ced his keys on the table. Looking at the key, Joes finally understood what was going on. She quickly took out the keys from her pocket. Afterparing them, she realized that the two keys looked exactly the same. ¡°Why do you have the key to my house?¡± Joes ¡®eyes widened. Zheng Zeyi kept the key without a sound and stared at joesse¡¯s surprised gaze. He said,¡±¡±You probably don¡¯t know this, but the keys to our houses are the same.¡± The same? Upon hearing this, joesse¡¯s Red lips parted slightly, not knowing what to say. Did this mean that even her house key could directly open Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apartment? ¡°What kind of setting is this!¡± Qiao si cursed in her heart. She was about to take the key out of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pocket, but he dodged it. He even pulled her into his arms, and the two of them were tightly pressed together, without any gap. Instantly, Qiao SI¡¯s face turned red. She could not care less about the key and quickly broke away from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s suspicion. She touched her nose and said,¡±¡±Zeyi, give me the key first. How about we change the lock?¡± Now, both houses were unimpeded, and joesse did not even know when Zheng ze would arrive. Even though they had already confirmed their rtionship, joesse was still rather reserved. Zheng ze raised his brows and smiled devilishly.¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to change the lock. I think it¡¯s fine like this. ¡± After saying that, he sat down at the dining table and opened the fried rice in the thermal lunch box. It looked like ... He was eating with great relish. This was the first time that joesse had seen Zheng ze eat something like this. Usually, he would eat all sorts of delicacies. Seeing this, she temporarily put away the thought of changing the key and asked with concern,¡±¡±How is it? Are you used to the food?¡± Qiao si si was also worried that Zheng ze, who was used to eating delicacies, would not be used to this egg-fried rice. When Zheng Zeyi heard her words, he nced at her with a smile and praised,¡±¡±It¡¯s delicious. My girlfriend¡¯s cooking is very good. ¡± His words were the greatestpliment he could give to Joes. The atmosphere in the air was obviously different. A sweet taste gradually filled the air and filled the entire apartment. The corners of joesse¡¯s lips curled up uncontrobly. She had also temporarily forgotten about the key. She sat opposite Zheng Zeyi and quietly watched him eat the egg-fried rice. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s every move carried an air of nobility, as if he was born to be a king. Joes was stunned for a long time before she regained her senses. When she opened her eyes again, Zheng Zeyi was already very close to her, and his deep eyes were looking straight into her bright eyes. His deep and maic voice echoed in the apartment.¡±¡±How is it? Do you think ... Your boyfriend is good-looking?¡± ¡°...It¡¯s good. ¡± Joesughed helplessly, but she still followed her heart and replied. She did not want to lie either, because Zheng Zeyi was indeed the most good-looking person she had seen in all these years. The only one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him was probably Chen zuolin. However, he still could notpare to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s status in Qiao SI¡¯s eyes. It was as if after they got together, their feelings for each other had skyrocketed. It was always morefortable to have a little water flowing for a long time than to have a grand battle. Zheng Zeyi chuckled at her unhesitating answer and reached out to stroke her hair. Then, he took out a red certificate and ced it in front of her. ¡°This is my gift for you after my business trip. Take a look and see if you like it.¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and said. ¡°A present for me?¡± Joesse pointed at herself in disbelief. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to bring back a present after a business trip of only two to three days. However, she still felt a sense of warmth in her heart. Other than Chen Anna, the only person who cared about her the most was Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Then I¡¯ll open it and take a look.¡± Joes blinked her eyes and smiled yfully. Then, she opened the red certificate in front of her. When she saw the words written on it, she waspletely stunned. Joes held the red certificate in her hand, her eyes filled with shock, but not a trace of greed. Without any hesitation, she closed the red certificate and pushed it back to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I can¡¯t ept this gift. It¡¯s too expensive. You should keep it for the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group.¡± Joes said solemnly. The reason was that this gift was too expensive. This red certificate was the shop¡¯s certificate! It turned out that ... While Zheng Zeyi was overseas for a few days, he had also thought that joesse¡¯s Xingyuan designs would definitely open a shop under her name. For this matter, Zheng Zeyi had spent a lot of effort to find a good shop to buy. Not only was the location excellent, but the interior was also exquisitely decorated. With a little renovation and recruitment of some manpower, they could directly open for business. This gift was undoubtedly extremely good for joesse. Chapter 402 - How good would it be if it was mine?

Chapter 402: How good would it be if it was mine?

However, Joes was too embarrassed to ept such an expensive gift. Firstly, Zheng Zeyi was indeed her boyfriend and girlfriend, but this did not mean that he had to help her without reason. Joes did not wish for such a thing to happen either. Hence, after setting up star dors, she had to do many things herself. Even when it came to thepany¡¯s orders, she would often personally look at the design drawings of the design department to make sure that there were no problems. Secondly, the gift was indeed expensive. Joes was worried that if she epted it, their rtionship would change. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s attitude became even more determined. She said,¡±Zeyi, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I can¡¯t ept this.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not refute immediately. Instead, he asked softly with a slight smile. ¡°It¡¯s too valuable ...¡± Just as Qiao Si was about to reject him, Zheng Zeyi did not give her the chance and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll listen to you,¡± After that, he put away the red certificate, as if he had no intention of saying anything more. Looking at this scene, joesse raised her eyebrows and a smile shed across her eyes. No matter what, it was good that he understood. ...... After Zheng Zeyi had finished his egg fried rice, the two of them left the house together. When she saw Zheng Zeyi walking beside her, she could not help but clear her throat and carefully held his arm. Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he noticed the change in his arm. The two of them were like a golden couple, a perfect match for each other, creating a beautiful scene on the street. When they arrived at the parking lot, Qiao si let go of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arm and said,¡±¡±Alright, you can go to the office first.¡± ¡°Yes, sure.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly. He only got into his car after he saw that joesse had left safely. Joes drove in the direction of Xing Yuan¡¯s design and arrived at thepany not long after. At this time, the two uninvited guests had already arrived in city h and were resting in the hotel they had found. She did not know that trouble woulde knocking on her door very soon, and it was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rotten peach blossom. ¡°Good Morning, President.¡± ¡°Good Morning, President.¡± Nodding slightly at the staff who greeted her, Jossi went up to the third floor. They were also stepping up on the renovation issue. The renovation would bepleted in a month at most. By then, this building would be considered as the territory of Xing Yuan¡¯s design, and Joes ¡®office would be moved to the top floor. Just as she was about to enter the office, she saw Miley, who looked a little troubled. Upon seeing this, Joes furrowed her brows and asked,¡±¡±Millie, what happened?¡± Millie looked at Joes and said,¡±¡±President, someone wants to see you. I know her, but I don¡¯t know ... If I should let her in.¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Millie¡¯s words made Joes even more curious. There were probably only a few people who Millie knew and wanted to see her. Jossi fell into deep thought as she thought about the public opinion on the inte. She quickly came to a conclusion. Her red lips slightly opened and she said with some certainty,¡±¡±Miley, you¡¯re not talking about the Qiao family are you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Millie nodded heavily. After that, she told Jossi everything that had happened when she first arrived at thepany. The current working hours for Xing Yuan design was set at eight in the morning. After Miley arrived on time and started work, she found someone pestering the front desk on the first floor of thepany. That¡¯s right, it was Zhao Hai ¡®er from the Qiao family. She had been looking for a job on the streets for a long time, but she had never found a suitable one. Either she felt that it was not good enough for her, or she had called it but it was rejected. In the morning, Zhao Hai ¡®er had scolded almost all the bosses of the recruitment stores on the street. In the end, he had no choice but to go to Joss¡¯spany. Zhao Hai ¡®er thought about how she would be able to get a job from Joes if she lowered her voice. At the very least, it would be better than working in the shops on the streets. With this thought in mind, Zhao Hai ¡®er continued to pester thedy at the front desk, hoping to see Joes. However, neither thedy at the front desk nor Millie gave her the chance. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er ...¡± Upon hearing this name, Joes¡¯s brows furrowed tightly, and a faint ¡®Chuan¡¯ character appeared between her brows. To be honest, if not for Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s sudden appearance, Joes would have long forgotten about her. He didn¡¯t know why she hade to find him this time. Furthermore, he hade alone. Joes had a feeling that there was something that she did not know about. The most hopeful possibility was, of course, that the Qiao family would fall apart on their own and that they would not have to do anything themselves. That would be the best result. After going through everything in her mind, Joes¡¯s lips curled up and she said,¡±¡±Miley, tell her toe see me in the guest room.¡± ¡°The president?¡± Millie was a little surprised. She did not expect Joes to agree to it so readily. Looking at her shocked expression, Jossiughed.¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to look at me like that. Some things still need to be solved. Moreover, she suddenly came to find me, so I¡¯m also a little curious about what it is. Bring her up. ¡± Since Joes had already said so, Millie could not refute her and replied,¡±¡±Yes, President. I¡¯ll call her up now.¡± Then, Mi Li left the third floor and went downstairs. Initially, when Joes first arrived, she did not see Zhao Hai ¡®er either. Perhaps she was somewhere in the hall on the first floor, so she did not see her. A momentter, Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was about to leave the star essence designpany, was invited up by Miley. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t feel ufortable in the clean and spacious elevator. Instead, she felt at ease. It was just like how it was only natural for her to be at joesse¡¯spany. If she had gone to anotherpany, Zhao Hai ¡®er would not be in this state. Her attitude towards Qiao sisi was deeply rooted in the Qiao family. ¡°Eh, assistant, did Jossi really agree to meet me?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er suddenly asked. Millie looked at her and nodded.¡±¡±That¡¯s right. The president has agreed to meet you.¡± Then, Zhao Hai ¡®er showed an expression that said,¡±I knew it.¡± It made Miley angry for no reason. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t seem to care about the difference in status between the two. Zhao Hai ¡®er was led by Miley to the front of the guest room after a few turns. The expression on her face was one of shock as she looked around the interior of thepany, almost unable to hide the greed in her eyes. How good would it be if thispany was his? Chapter 403

Chapter 403: Reveal Qiao Lei¡¯s Secret

A greedy thought appeared in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mind. However, she knew that it was impossible. If it was the old Joes, there might still be a glimmer of hope. However, it was best to forget about the current Joes. Zhao Hai ¡®er was no fool. The current Joes was too shrewd and cold-blooded. From the incident at the court, it was clear that Liu Yun hade to ask for money from Joes, but had returned in defeat and even been beaten up. Zhao Hai ¡®er knew that she could not afford to offend Joes. She didn¡¯t intend to provoke them. She only hoped to find a job here so that she wouldn¡¯t have to do all the hard work. ¡°This is the guest room. The president is waiting for you inside.¡± Millie stopped in front of the guest room. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyelids twitched as she looked at the tightly shut door. She felt flustered. After a long time, she finally suppressed this strange feeling and said,¡±¡±Alright, I got it.¡± After sending Zhao Hai ¡®er back, Miley returned to her office. Zhao Hai ¡®er stood in front of the door for a while. After she was mentally prepared, she pushed the door open and walked in. What he saw was a huge reception room. The most eye-catching one was Joes, who was sitting at the long table in the middle. She was sitting on the soft leather sofa and pouring tea. ...... ¡°You¡¯re here. ¡± After hearing the sound of the door opening, Joes raised her brows slightly. She put down the teapot in her hand and picked up the teacup that was filled with fragrant tea. Zhao Hai ¡®er took a look at Joes¡¯s expensive clothes, then at her own, and lowered her head to hide her embarrassment. ¡°Jossi,¡± she said,¡±I ... I¡¯m here to ask for your help.¡± Help? Upon hearing that, joesse¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup paused for a moment, but she did not say anything. ¡°Have a seat first, there are some things I want to ask you.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er gulped after hearing Joes¡¯s words. She nodded and chose a seat opposite her. As for the tea ... Naturally, Joes would not help Zhao Hai ¡®er with the preparations. She still had a clear memory of what happened a year ago. She would never forget how vicious Zhao Hai ¡®er was. Now, it was just a change in status. Furthermore, Joes did not have the mood to mock her like Zhao Hai ¡®er did in the past. At the thought of this, joesse lowered her gaze and sipped her tea, saying,¡±¡±If you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°Then, I¡¯ll be direct.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face turned serious. She suppressed the fear in her heart and said,¡±¡±Joesse, can you give me a job? It¡¯s yourpany¡¯s internal work. ¡± After saying that, Zhao Hai ¡®er fixed her gaze on Joes, afraid that she would miss any expression. This was her main purpose ining to Xing Yuan design. The work outside was dirty and tiring, and Zhao Hai ¡®er felt that it was not suitable for her at all. She felt that she should only do this kind of work in the office. She did not ask for anything from joesse and was not as greedy as Liu Yun. She ... Would not reject her, right? Zhao Hai ¡®er anxiously waited for Joes¡¯s answer. The reception room fell silent for a while. A momentter, Joes¡¯s softughter broke the silence.¡±Oh, How did youe up with the idea of asking me for a job?¡± After knowing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s motive, she didn¡¯t even want to drink tea. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she saw Joes¡¯s expression. She quickly said,¡±¡±Jossi, I¡¯m really at my wit¡¯s end, that¡¯s why I came to you. In order to pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debt, my family even sold the house in my hometown. If I can¡¯t find a job now, the Qiao family won¡¯t be able to amodate me!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er purposely exaggerated the facts. Joesse was well aware of the little scheme in her heart, so she gently ced the teacup on the table. ¡°I know that the Qiao family is in a bad state, but that can¡¯t be a reason for me to offer you a job.¡± Joes nced at Zhao Hai ¡®er. Her eyes were extremely calm, as if nothing had happened. It was so calm that it made Zhao Hai ¡®er panic even more. ¡°No, I must get this job!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er warned herself in her heart. After making her decision, she put on a pleading expression.¡±Jossi, I¡¯m begging you, I really need this job. We can make a deal. I can tell you everything that happened in the Qiao family as long as you can provide me with a job. ¡± Since she couldn¡¯t get it directly, Zhao Hai ¡®er thought of other ways. It had to be said that her words touched joesse¡¯s heart. She also wanted to know more about the Qiao family¡¯s current situation. He wanted to see how the vampire family would turn out in the end. However, even if joesse wanted to know, she did not need Zhao Hai ¡®er to tip her off. She still had the contact information of several private detectives. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heart started to beat faster when she did not get a response. She frowned. Finally, Joes slowly opened her mouth,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t really want to know about the Qiao family¡¯s recent situation. As for the job you¡¯re talking about, I can¡¯t possibly provide it for you. You can go on your own, I won¡¯t chase you away. ¡± After saying that, Joes stood up and prepared to leave. She would never help the Qiao family because they had done too many disgusting things. This had already crossed joesse¡¯s bottom line. She would be a fool if she still helped him and repaid evil with good. Seeing that Joes was about to leave, Zhao Hai ¡®er quickly stood up and followed behind her.¡±¡±I think ... You¡¯ll definitely be interested, really! I¡¯ve noticed something wrong with Qiao Lei recently. I think he hasn¡¯t quit gambling yet and is in debt again! It was because of this that I wanted toe out and find a way out myself, and in the end, I came to you for help. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er no longer hid anything and revealed her thoughts. Upon hearing this, Joes, who was walking in front, finally stopped and turned to look at Zhao Hai ¡®er. His eyes were filled with surprise. She did not expect Zhao Hai ¡®er to be able to guess that. Qiao Lei was probably worried that he would not be able to pay the 500000 Yuan and had a problem with his attitude. That was why Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had been observing him, noticed. After Joes stopped walking, Zhao Hai ¡®er saw that there was still hope. She continued,¡±¡±If you promise me, I can even tell you Qiao Lei¡¯s Secret!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er threw out a bombshell. She didn¡¯t seem to care what the Qiao family would end up like. She was more concerned about whether she had a way out. Joes raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er, at the face that had be extremely unfamiliar. Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Embarrassed to extend this hand

That¡¯s right, the people of the Qiao family were selfish and cold-blooded. After a while, joesse retracted her gaze. She felt that Zhao Hai ¡®er and Liu Yun¡¯s personalities were simr. ¡°So,¡± she said,¡±the premise for you to mess up the Qiao family is that I have to provide you with a job, right?¡± ¡°Right!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er concealed the joy on her face. She had a feeling that she was close to sess. However, at the next moment, Joes gave her a tight p and chose to reject her directly. Joes shrugged her shoulders and said,¡±I¡¯m sorry, but I still think that this deal is not worth it.¡± Even if you mess up the Qiao family, what does it have to do with me? I don¡¯t care about these things now. You should leave. ¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes turned red as she ran in front of Joes, blocking her from leaving. If it wasn¡¯t for the hatred in her heart, Zhao Hai ¡®er would have knelt down in front of this B * tch! All she wanted was a job. Why did joesse have to make things so difficult for her? Zhao Hai ¡®er took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±Then I can choose to change my request. ...... If you want me to do something, I can do it with some money. I don¡¯t need you to help me find a job. Is that okay?¡± In the end, Zhao Hai ¡®er gave up on her job. She now knew that the chances of her getting a job from Joes were close to zero, so she might as well take some money to settle the matter. ¡°I see ...¡± Joes pretended to be deep in thought, as if she really felt that this was something worth considering. As Zhao Hai ¡®er was looking forward to it, she smiled.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, but I still don¡¯t think it¡¯s worth it. ¡± At this point, no matter how stupid Zhao Hai ¡®er was, she should know that Joes had no intention of making a deal. ¡°Joesse! Are you ying with me? You didn¡¯t even want to help me, did you?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but roar. Looking at the smiling face in front of her, she really wanted to rush up and scratch it. She felt like she was a joke just now. After talking for a long time, Joes had no intention of helping her from the beginning to the end. She was only toying with her. This B * tch! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes flickered with hatred, but joesse saw it clearly. She was not surprised. She knew that Zhao Hai ¡®er had always been like this. Compared to Liu Yun and the others, she was even more hypocritical. Joes¡¯s smile deepened,¡±¡±Zhao Hai ¡®er, I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t nder me, and don¡¯t say that I¡¯ve been ying with you from the beginning. You don¡¯t have enough bargaining chips, yet you still want to negotiate with me. You should have thought of the consequences of a failed negotiation. ¡± ¡°You!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s fingers trembled in anger when she saw Joes¡¯ nonchnt expression. She did not even care where she was at the moment. ¡°Jossi, you B * tch!¡± She cursed. Do you really think you¡¯re so great just because you have some money? I¡¯m telling you, even if you don¡¯t agree to my request, I won¡¯t lose anything. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. You¡¯re not wee here. Please leave quickly, okay?¡± Joes made a gesture to ask her to leave. He really thought of himself as a dish. Jossi nced at the Furious Zhao Hai ¡®er. She had no intention of inviting this trouble into thepany. If they had her, who knew how much more trouble thepany would be in. Zhao Hai ¡®er had no choice but to leave when faced with joesse¡¯s public expulsion. Joesse had already started calling for security. This was her territory, so it was naturally under her control. ¡°Joesse, just you wait! You¡¯ll get your retribution one day, you B * tch!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed and left the room in a hurry. They were afraid that they would be caught by the security guards and personally kicked out of thepany. That would be the most embarrassing thing. Looking at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s back as she left, Joes raised her eyebrows and waved her hand. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Take care.¡± After everyone left star Yuan design, joesse then walked out of the guest room. Miley was waiting by the reception room. When she saw her Presidente out, she quickly straightened her face. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±Joes asked, puzzled. Millie scratched her head and said angrily,¡±¡±President, I¡¯ve been standing guard outside the door and I heard that woman scolding you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t worry. ¡± Joes gave a smile that made one feel at ease. There was no need to argue with Zhao Hai ¡®er. It was a waste of his time. With this time, what could joesse not do? Zhao Hai ¡®er had chosen to look for her this time because she had not thought things through. She would not help a single person from the Qiao family. The next time ... Joes would not receive him either. It would be no different from wasting her time. At the thought of this, Joes squinted her eyes and said,¡±¡±Alright, Miley, you can go back to your work. Next time you meet such people, remember not to let them in, understand?¡± ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t worry, President.¡± Millie nodded heavily. After giving Millie her instructions, joesse walked towards the production department. She wondered how the production of the jewelry was going. Although it had not been long, based on the length of time the production department had spent, there was at least a prototype. After a while, she arrived at the production department. After calling out the few people from the production department that he had trusted previously, they brought out the prototype of the jewelry. These were the sapphires used in the ¡°deep sea¡± series, and the color of these sapphires was different from the other blue ones. It was extremely clear, just like clear water, giving people a good impression. On top of that, the sapphires were also polished very well, and Joes was extremely satisfied. ¡°Not bad, these gemstones are very well polished.¡± After hearing her praise, one of the girls scratched her head in embarrassment.¡±¡±Because this is the president¡¯s task, so we have to put in more effort.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, President. We really think that the set of jewelry you gave us is very good. We¡¯re also proud to be able toe out from under us. President, you¡¯ll be out in about five or six days. ¡± The man said excitedly. Five to six days ... After hearing this, joesse fell into silence. After thinking for a while, she felt that this amount of time was still eptable. Five days should be enough for her to deal with the shop, but the repair of the shop may take some time. Zheng Zeyi had given her a shop as a present in the morning, so he was clearly aware of joesse¡¯s situation. However, the gift was too expensive, and Joes was too embarrassed to extend her hand. Chapter 405

Chapter 405: The second half of my life is gone

She would only ept the gift if she had the ability to help Zheng Zeyi. After all, she didn¡¯t want this rtionship to be a one-time help. As her mind whirled with thoughts, Joes quickly regained her senses and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine, slow work makes fine work. You guys can do it slowly. I don¡¯t have any other requests, just that this set of jewelry must be exquisite. After all, it¡¯ll be the future treasure of our store. ¡± It was very likely that it would be the most precious existence in the entire star essence design. This was a design by Joes. She did not know how big of a reaction it would cause, but her intuition told her. As long as he persevered, he would seed. ¡°Okay, President, we understand your request. This is likely to be the most important existence in the entire Xing Yuan designpany. We will not neglect it.¡± One of them said solemnly. The others also had the same expression, showing the importance of this set of jewelry. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be relying on you guys.¡± Joes revealed a sweet smile. After looking at thepletion rate of the ¡°deep sea¡± series of jewelry, Joes went to another part of the production department to check on the progress of the other leaked designs. This process was slightly faster, but not by much. It would take at least two days to finish. Moreover, Joes had requested for high quality, so the people in the production department would not disobey her. ...... On one side, Jossi was busy with thepany¡¯s matters. On the other side, Zhao Hai ¡®er was walking toward the house of the Jossi in exasperation. She had been bullied by Joes and could not take it anymore. As for Qiao Lei¡¯s possible debt, Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t want to help him hide it anymore. If she continued to hide it, the Qiao family might be torn apart. In this family that valued men over women, Zhao Hai ¡®er did not only want to gain benefits, but she also wanted to protect herself. ¡°Bang!¡± After returning home, Zhao Hai ¡®er mmed the door shut. She had an ugly expression. Fortunately, Qiao Feng, Liu Yun, and Qiao Lei were all at home at the moment. When they saw her rushing back from outside, they could not help but frown. ¡°Why are you closing the door so loudly? If we break the door, you¡¯ll pay us for one?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s tone was a little irritable, and he looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er with dissatisfaction. Liu Yun red at Zhao Hai ¡®er and said,¡±¡±Listen to what your dad said, there¡¯s nothing wrong with that. Besides, where did you go so early in the morning? Didn¡¯t we agree yesterday that I¡¯ll take you to that restaurant to try out a job?¡± Then, just as Liu Yun was about to continue, she praised the restaurant. Although the work was tiring, she could at least earn more than 3000 Yuan a month. However, before he could finish, Zhao Hai ¡®er interrupted him. ¡°Mom, dad, I have something to tell you.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er suppressed the anger in her heart and secretly nced at Qiao Lei, who was sitting on the sofa. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t notice Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hidden gaze, nor did he know that her so-called words were rted to him. Qiao Feng¡¯s first reaction was to frown.¡±¡±Tell me, what is it?¡± ¡°Hai ¡®er, did something happen?¡± Liu Yun panicked.¡±Tell your father and me.¡± ¡°Phew ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er felt happy for the first time when she saw the two¡¯s anxious expressions, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face. The debt this time might break their backbones. However, this had nothing to do with Zhao Hai ¡®er. It was all Qiao Lei¡¯s doing. He should be the one to me for everything! Zhao Hai ¡®er took a deep breath and said,¡±I think Qiao Lei owes money again.¡± As soon as she said this, the entire ce went silent. No one had expected that she would actually say this. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground could be heard clearly. Qiao Lei¡¯s rxed expression turned cold as he red at Zhao Hai ¡®er as if she was his mortal enemy! Liu Yun and Qiao Feng¡¯s faces were also ugly, and they looked at each other in unison. In an instant, the two of them had already decided which side they should stand on. Liu Yun took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhao Hai ¡®er. She scolded,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Do you think we don¡¯t know what kind of person Xiao Lei is? Do I need you to say anything? He¡¯s paid off his 300000 Yuan debt, so he won¡¯t gamble again. Don¡¯t try to drive a wedge between us. ¡± Qiao Feng, who was sitting at the side, also looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er with an extremely angry gaze. He said angrily,¡±what do you mean by¡± think ¡°? is there anyone else who would think this?¡± What was owed was owed, and what was not owed was not owed. Are you cursing your brother? Do you want our entire Qiao family to be without descendants? You evil creature!¡± The angry roar echoed in his ears. Zhao Hai ¡®er was silent for a moment when she saw that the two of them did not believe her. It was not that she had not thought of this oue. After all, she was Liu Yun¡¯s child from her previous family and had no blood rtionship with Qiao Feng. However, Qiao Lei was different. He was the baby of the family, so they had to keep him first if there were any good things. Zhao Hai ¡®er had felt that something was wrong since Qiao Lei came backst time. After thinking about it in her room, she was even more convinced that her guess was right. Otherwise, he would not have used this to discuss some so-called deal with Joes. ¡°Dad, mom, I have no reason to lie to you. You can ask Qiao Lei about this matter and you¡¯ll know the answer.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er sneered and turned their attention to Qiao Lei, causing his expression to change. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Qiao Lei shouted angrily. His eyes were filled with panic, as if he had been guessed at. He also realized that his current situation wasn¡¯t quite right, so he quickly calmed down and calmed his emotions. Seeing Liu Yun and Qiao Feng looking at him, Qiao Lei panicked. He cleared his throat and pushed all the me to Zhao Hai ¡®er. ¡°Mom, dad! ¡°Don¡¯t believe Zhao Hai ¡®er. She¡¯s cursing me. She must be jealous that you paid me back the 300000 Yuan. She¡¯s trying to drive a wedge between us. If you believed her, then you¡¯d have fallen into her trap. Zhao Hai ¡®er, I really didn¡¯t expect you to be so scheming. ¡± Qiao Lei kept talking, afraid that Liu Yun and Qiao Feng would find out that he was in debt. However, he really couldn¡¯t hold on for much longer. After a while, boss long woulde to collect the debt, and that was no joke. If he didn¡¯t do it this time, he, Qiao Lei, would lose the rest of his life! Qiao Feng chose to believe Qiao Lei. He frowned and said,¡±¡±Okay, dad knows. Hai ¡®er, stop talking nonsense. It¡¯s boring.¡± Chapter 406

Chapter 406: If there¡¯s something, just say it

¡°I¡¯m spouting nonsense?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pointed at herself in disbelief and almostughed. She nced at Liu Yun. Even Liu Yun¡¯s expression was no different from Qiao Feng ¡®s. It was obvious that they were both on Qiao Lei¡¯s side. ¡°Then you should help your good son pay off his debts!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed in her heart, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face. After all, she still had to live in this apartment. If he were to fall out with them, he would have to find a ce to stay. Of course, this was something that would happen sooner orter. There was no end to a vampire like Qiao Lei, so she had to protect herself. ¡°Anyway, you can ask Qiao Lei yourself. Thest time he came back, he said that the money had been paid back. I felt something was wrong when I saw his expression. Maybe he gambled in the casino again and lost arge sum of money, so he doesn¡¯t dare to tell mom and dad. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®erughed coldly and returned to her room without another word. Then, he heard Qiao Feng¡¯s angry roar from behind him,¡±¡±You unfilial daughter, how can you curse your younger brother like this?!¡± ¡°Hai ¡®er, even if you¡¯re spouting nonsense, you can¡¯t use this as an excuse,¡± Liu Yun said unhappily. Things were one-sided, and Qiao Lei finally heaved a sigh of relief. He didn¡¯t have to constantly worry about being discovered. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t even stop when she heard this. She entered her room and mmed the door shut. ...... The door seemed to separate the two worlds. ¡°This unfilial daughter!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s fingers were trembling with anger. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After taking a puff, he felt a little calmer. The living room was filled with smoke, and the smell of smoke was thick. However, Liu Yun and Qiao Lei were already used to it. Now that Qiao Feng was the head of the family, they would not say anything. After Zhao Hai ¡®er left, he thought about what she had said and felt that there was something wrong. For example, after Qiao Lei paid off the moneyst time, he was indeed in a bad mood. Liu Yun and Qiao Feng weren¡¯t stupid. They could guess what was going on, but they didn¡¯t want to believe that their precious son had made a mistake again. Liu Yun was nervous. She looked at Qiao Lei and said,¡±¡±Son, tell me the truth. Is what hai ¡®er said true?¡± After Qiao Feng finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. Facing the quiet environment, Qiao Lei swallowed his saliva and immediately replied,¡±¡±Mom, this matter ...¡± Before he could finish, Qiao Feng interrupted him,¡±¡±Tell me the truth!¡± These three short words changed Qiao Lei¡¯s mind. He fell into silence, thinking about the feasibility of this. He definitely couldn¡¯t rely on himself to get this 500000. However, the possibility of his family returning the money was very low. After all, the house in his hometown had already been sold! It was only sold for 400000 Yuan, which was not enough to fill this hole. But ... Qiao Lei gritted his teeth and finally decided to tell the truth. With his family¡¯s power, he might be able to repay the debt. He took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice,¡±¡±Mom, dad, Zhao Hai ¡®er is right. I do owe money again, and it¡¯s boss long and his people. But I had no choice, they forced me to y. Ever since thest time I owed them money, they had been watching me. He even said that if I don¡¯t return the money this time, he¡¯ll take my life. ¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s body trembled at the end of his sentence, which was more in line with his current state of fear. Regarding the gambling incident, Qiao Lei had exaggerated it. It was originally voluntary, but when it came out of his mouth, it became boss long who forced him to do it. However, there were also benefits. At least Qiao Feng and Liu Yun would not think that he was the one who did something wrong. As soon as he said this, the living room fell silent. Zhao Hai ¡®er also pressed her ear to the door, listening to the movements outside. She couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°You ... You really owe me money?¡± Liu Yun was dumbfounded, and Qiao Feng¡¯s expression was not any better. The two of them did not believe Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s words, but now they were pped in the face. The truth told them that Qiao Lei really did owe money, and from the looks of it, he probably owed quite a lot. Liu Yun was furious at the thought of having to pay back her debt. She hated boss long and his men. She stood up and said,¡±you have to do something about the child¡¯s father. We can¡¯t just let this matter go.¡± We can¡¯t let them ride on our heads. Do they really think that there¡¯s no one in the Qiao family? If we return the money, who knows if they will continue to force Xiao Lei to gamble. We can¡¯t return it!¡± The sound of her cries resounded through the sky. Even Zhao Hai ¡®er could hear it clearly in her room. Qiao Lei, who was sitting on the sofa, did not dare to agree. He panicked and shook his head immediately. Qiao Lei sobbed.¡±Mom, this won¡¯t do. They won¡¯t reason with us. Dad, you have to help me. If you don¡¯t help me, I¡¯m really dead this time.¡± If he didn¡¯t return the money this time, boss long would definitely not let him off. Therefore, he could not agree with Liu Yun¡¯s words. In Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes, his life was definitely more important than money. Qiao Feng was silent. He took out another cigarette from his pocket, but the hand holding the cigarette could not help but tremble. It was as if he had aged a few decades in an instant, making one sigh. He took a deep puff of the cigarette and said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Let me think of a way to resolve this matter.¡± The Qiao family could be considered to be in deep trouble. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, in the Zheng¡¯s group. Zheng Zeyi had heard about what happened in the Qiao family and knew that his wife was behind it. However, he naturally wouldn¡¯t care about this kind of thing. His wife¡¯s ability was enough to deal with those few people. He didn¡¯t need to do anything. Unless something dangerous happened, Zheng Zeyi would never let joesse encounter a situation like thest time. In the office. Zheng Zeyi was handling some documents and looking at some information on hisputer when someone suddenly knocked on the door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± He instinctively furrowed his brows, and the cold and aloof image he had for outsiders reappeared. He said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± Then, assistant li pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the president dealing with work, assistant Li¡¯s face was a little nervous. It was obvious that something had happened. It was just that he found it a little difficult to say it. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi frowned even more and said,¡±¡±If there¡¯s something, just say it. Don¡¯t look like this.¡± Alright ... Assistant li sighed slightly. It was better not to beat around the bush in front of his own President. Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Can¡¯t even cure an illness

Assistant li cleared his throat and said,¡±¡±President, there are two people downstairs who want to see you.¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He had some guesses in his heart. ¡°Miss Jodie and Mr. Ma Li.¡± Assistant Li said the two names helplessly. When thedy at the front desk asked for help, he didn¡¯t expect it to be these two people. They were originally business partners abroad, but because of Zheng Zeyi, they came back to China and even came to thepany to look for him. Assistant li was only an assistant after all. He knew that Zheng Zeyi did not like the two of them, but he could not make decisions on his own. After thinking about it, he came to ask Zheng Zeyi for his opinion. At the thought of this, assistant li secretly nced at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression and saw that he did not look good. The aura around him was a little low, as if he had turned cold in an instant. Now it seemed that this matter might be ruined. Under assistant Li¡¯s gaze, Zheng Zeyi opened his mouth and said,¡±¡±You can deal with these two yourself.¡± What? ...... Assistant li was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect the president to give him the power to make decisions. He was just a small assistant. He really didn¡¯t dare to solve such a problem. Moreover, it was his own president¡¯s problem. For some reason, assistant li, who was usually very smart, was like a quail in front of Zheng Zeyi. With this thought in mind, assistant li quickly refused,¡±¡±President, I can¡¯t ept this. Why don¡¯t I just reject it for the president?¡± Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t want to see Zhu Di and Ma Li from the start. He shot a nce at assistant li and nodded slightly.¡±Go on.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± After receiving the order, assistant li left the office. At the same time, there were two people waiting for a response at the front desk. It was Ma Li and Zhu Di. Zhu Di was dressed in a wine red long dress. Coupled with her beautiful looks, she attracted the attention of everyone in the hall in an instant. However, these employees didn¡¯t dare to look at him for too long. After a quick nce, they retracted their gazes and went back to their own work. Ma Li, on the other hand, stood beside her with his head slightly lowered, hiding all the emotions in his eyes. Zhu Di was fiddling with his phone and would nce in the direction of the lift from time to time. However, he heard Ma Li say,¡±¡±Zhu Di, you¡¯re saying that President Zheng...Will really meet us?¡± When he heard this, Zhu Di¡¯s hand that was ying with his phone paused for a moment. To be honest, she wasn¡¯t sure, but since she was here, it was better to be more confident. The two of them had also arrived at city h¡¯s airportst night, but they arrived a few hourster than Zheng Zeyi. Hence, they did not bump into each other at the airport. After arriving in city h, the two of them found a hotel to rest in. It was only today that he could not wait to find Zheng Zeyi. In the end, thedy at the front desk refused to let them in. Naturally, Zhu Di did not agree to it, which was why he called assistant li over. After that, a series of things happened. ¡°I think so. No matter what, we¡¯re business partners now. Aren¡¯t you worried that your reputation will be tarnished?¡± Zhu Di¡¯s lips curled into a determined smile as he kept his phone. However, she knew too little about Zheng Zeyi and did not know that he did not care about such things at all. He waited in the hall for a while. Just as Zhu Di and Ma Li were getting a little impatient, assistant li finally took the elevator down. When he saw the figure walking out of the lift, Zhu Di was initially surprised. However, when he got a clear look at the figure, his surprise turned into anger. Damn it! Why wasn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi the one who came down! The smile on her face instantly disappeared, and her face also darkened. It took a long time for her to return to normal. After all, this was a public ce, and she still needed to maintain her image. After assistant li came closer, she said unhappily,¡±¡±Assistant li, are you here to invite us up?¡± Judi had thought that, based on the degree of cooperation for this big project, Zheng Zeyi would most likelye down personally to receive them and express his respect. In the end ... She had thought too much. After hearing Zhu Di¡¯s words, assistant li smiled,¡±¡±Miss Jodie, Mr. Ma Li, I¡¯m really sorry. The president isn¡¯t feeling well today and has been resting. I¡¯ve just asked, and it¡¯s really not convenient for him to receive you two in the current situation. ¡± After saying that, assistant Li¡¯s smile deepened. Zhu Di¡¯s face was getting colder and colder as the aura around him started to change. She wasn¡¯t a fool. The so-called physical difort was just an excuse to not see them! When she was overseas, Zhu Di would often use this reason to reject people that she did not want to meet. She never thought that such a thing would happen to her one day. This man was really interesting! Zhu Di gritted her teeth, but her interest in Zheng Zeyi did not diminish at all. She coldly said to assistant li,¡±¡±Assistant Li, I don¡¯t quite understand what you¡¯re saying. Is President Zheng really not feeling well, or does he just not want to see the two of us? No matter what, the two of us came all the way back from abroad just to strengthen our friendship and cooperation. Isn¡¯t this a little disappointing?¡± Jodie immediately increased the severity of the situation by several levels. She wasn¡¯t really threatening him. However, assistant li was not moved at all. He shook his head and said apologetically,¡±¡±Miss Jodie, I¡¯m very sorry for this. But the president is really not feeling well. If miss Zhu Di doesn¡¯t believe me, you can ask the other employees. ¡± ¡°You ...¡± Zhu Di¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. Faced with these words, he did not know how to reply at the moment. As for Ma Li, he was quietly listening to the two people¡¯s conversation from the side. He didn¡¯t say a word, as if he was made of wood. The atmosphere of confrontation was so strong that even the staff working next to them and the security guards noticed something was wrong. Everyone unconsciously moved their feet, hoping to get away from this troublesome ce. ¡°Alright, since assistant li has said so, I don¡¯t have any other meaning in pestering you. I¡¯lle back tomorrow. I¡¯d like to see how useless President Zheng is as a doctor. He can¡¯t even cure an illness!¡± Judi stomped her feet in anger. After throwing out his vicious words, Zhu Di did not have the mood to stay any longer. He immediately brought Ma Li with him and left, saying,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go!¡± The two of them hade in an aggressive manner, but they left in a sorry state. Watching them leave, assistant li smiled and raised his voice.¡±¡±Miss Jodie, Mr. Ma Li, please take care.¡± The two of them didn¡¯t stop at all and left without hesitation. This result was also unexpected. After he left the Zheng¡¯s group, assistant li smiled and told Zheng Zeyi the news. Chapter 408

Chapter 408: It¡¯s really not my fault

Zheng Zeyi closed the document in front of him and said calmly,¡±¡±Well done.¡± ¡°Thank you for thepliment, President.¡± Assistant li was rarelyplimented by Zheng ze. This time, he was almost full of himself, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. He nced at the scenery outside the window and said with some doubt,¡±¡±President, miss Zhu Di also said that she would be back tomorrow. After this, are we going to continue to refuse to receive them?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly. This matter...Was indeed a problem. He did not want to see that Zhu Di woman. However, there might not be any benefits in dying it. Even if time passed, it would not cause any waves. Very quickly, Zheng Zeyi made a decision.¡±¡±If you refuse them for a few more days, I won¡¯t see them. However, send a few people to receive them.¡± Hearing this, assistant Li¡¯s eyes lit up. His president¡¯s words also made him understand the twists and turns. The president said that he was sick and it was not convenient for him to receive them. However, he had to send a few people from thepany to receive them. For example, he had to bring miss Zhu Di and the rest to see the sights of city H. In this way, outsiders would not be able to pick out any mistakes. ...... No matter how unhappy the CEO was, at least he had done what he could on the surface. Zheng Zeyi did not care what he thought. Thinking of this, assistant li nodded and patted his chest, promising,¡±¡±President, don¡¯t worry. Just leave this matter to me.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi pursed his thin lips and ignored assistant li. Instead, he picked up his phone and sent a text message to Qiao si. He had a family now, so even if he wanted to receive Jodie and the rest, he would have to report to Joes first. Looking at the faint smile on his CEO¡¯s face, assistant Li¡¯s mouth twitched. He left the CEO¡¯s office after saying hello. At that moment, Zhu Di and Ma Li were already standing on the street outside the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. The road was filled with cars and honking outside, or the noise of the passersby. Zhu Di¡¯s face was extremely dark. He looked at the tall building behind him for a long time before he retracted his gaze. Now that there were only the two of them left, Ma Li didn¡¯t have the intention to keep quiet. He asked,¡±¡±Zhu Di, what do we do now that President Zheng is not going to wee us?¡± Zhu Di frowned,¡±¡±Let¡¯s see what happens tomorrow. If it¡¯s still the same ...¡± At the end of her sentence, a vicious look shed across her face. She then sneered,¡±¡±If we really do that, I¡¯ll have to use other methods. I remember that President Zheng seems to have a fianc¨¦e. We can start with her and find a breakthrough. ¡± ¡°Looking for her?¡± Ma Li asked in surprise. Zhu Di hade back to the country this time for Zheng Zeyi. In the end, he did not want to see her at all, so she had no choice but to take extreme measures. In reality, this method would only make Zheng Zeyi loathe her even more. ¡°That¡¯s right. Let¡¯s test President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e and see what kind of person she is.¡± Judy licked her lips and smiled. No matter what, she had to get Zheng Zeyi! The two of them didn¡¯t stay on the street for long. They walked in the direction of the hotel that they had left from. They did not know that Zheng ze had already sent people to receive them and had found the location of the hotel. At this moment, the Qiao family was truly in a mess. Qiao Lei¡¯s debt had be the Qiao family¡¯s top priority and they had note up with a solution yet. The smell of smoke was too strong in the old apartment. Qiao Lei wiped the sweat off his face and looked at Qiao Feng anxiously.¡±¡±Dad, what should we do now? Have you thought of a way?¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t,¡± Qiao Feng snuffed out another cigarette. The floor was covered with cigarette butts and looked dirty. Liu Yun was also very anxious. She gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±This boss long and his gang are clearly treating us as an ATM!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s words were quite a vivid metaphor. Qiao Feng was silent for a moment, then echoed,¡±¡±Boss long and his men are indeed not easy to deal with. They¡¯re a bunch of people who value money more than their lives.¡± ¡°Xiao Lei, you¡¯re too much. Why did you provoke these people for no reason? they¡¯re just a bunch of scum who eat people without even spitting out the bones! Bah! If they really piss us off, we¡¯ll just fight them to the death!¡± Liu Yun was enraged, which was a rare sight. But Qiao Lei didn¡¯t agree with her at all and quickly said,¡±¡±Mom, please don¡¯t say that. If those people hear us, they won¡¯t let us off even if we get money!¡± Qiao Lei was very clear about this. Ever since that gamble, he regretted listening to boss long and the others. However, it was useless to regret it now. The money was already owed, and there was no way to reduce it no matter how much he regretted. Liu Yun heaved a deep sigh as she wiped away her tears. Qiao Fengye took out a lighter and wanted to light another cigarette, but he gave up the idea after looking at the cigarette butt on the ground. Moreover, there wasn¡¯t much left in the pack of cigarettes. He sighed and asked,¡±just tell dad directly. How much money do you have outside? tell me a number. I¡¯ll think of a way to help you gather it.¡± Now, he could only return the money. Hearing this, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes lit up. He didn¡¯t tell Qiao Feng because his family couldn¡¯t afford to pay him back. Looking at it now, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope. Seeing the look in Qiao Feng and Liu Yun¡¯s eyes, Qiao Lei suppressed his thoughts and said slowly,¡±¡±Not much, just about the same asst time.¡± Last time? Liu Yun and Qiao Feng listened attentively and stared at Qiao Lei, afraid that he would say some unbelievable number. In the end, Qiao Lei only said five words,¡±¡±I owe ... 500000.¡± When Qiao Lei said it was 500000 Yuan, everyone in the room could not believe it. In an instant, it was so quiet that it was as if there was no one around. Even Zhao Hai ¡®er covered her mouth in disbelief when she heard it. She didn¡¯t expect it to be this much. 500,000. Compared to the 300000 he had paid off thest time, it was almost double! Liu Yun couldn¡¯t believe what she had just heard, so she asked again. ¡°Is it really 500 thousand?¡± His tone was filled with surprise. Qiao Feng¡¯s face darkened instantly, and the atmosphere in the apartment was very respectful. Seeing that this wasn¡¯t a good scene, Qiao Lei immediately exined,¡±¡±Dad, mom, it¡¯s really not my fault. You know boss long and the others, their interest has beenpounded and the interest has reached 500000. You really can¡¯t me me!¡± He didn¡¯t have any other thoughts right now. He just wanted to reduce the mistakes he made, even if he was the one who caused this. Chapter 409

Chapter 409: I might be a littlete

At this time, Qiao Feng was so angry that he couldn¡¯t speak. The hand holding the cigarette box was trembling slightly. He fixed his eyes on Qiao Lei and said in a choked voice,¡±¡± 500000, Lei, it¡¯s 500000! What kind of sin did our Qiao familymit to have such an unfilial son like you? tell me, what should we do with this 500000 Yuan? tell me!¡± Qiao Feng grabbed his hair with one hand and his eyes were filled with despair. The 300,000 Yuan fromst time was the money he had earned by selling his house in his hometown. What about this time? Where would they find so many houses to sell? Qiao Lei was also stunned by Qiao Feng¡¯s roar. He was stunned for a moment and said in a panic,¡±¡±Dad, there must be a way!¡± ¡°A way? what other way is there?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s breathing was rapid, as if he was going to pass out the next second. Liu Yun was also worried that he would get angry, so she quickly went up tofort him and patted his back. Even if she knew that 500000 Yuan was a sky-high price, Qiao Lei was still their child. ¡°Husband, Lei is our child. This ... 500000 Yuan, let¡¯s think of a way to help him.¡± Liu Yun said with a frown. ¡°How can I help? You¡¯re here to tell me?¡± Qiao Feng covered his face with one hand, his heart filled with anger. He really wanted to help, but the problem was that he had no money now! ...... This was the main problem! 500,000 Yuan was not 5000 Yuan that could be easily gathered. To them, that was a huge disaster! Qiao Lei swallowed his saliva and quickly thought of a person. He quickly said,¡±¡±Dad, don¡¯t we still have my sister? I remember that she¡¯s very rich now. If we lower our heads and beg her, there might be a glimmer of hope!¡± Joes? Hearing this, Qiao Feng fell into deep thought. In the past, looking for Jossi was indeed a good idea. However, after the court incident, could he really still look for her? Even if they did, the possibility of them borrowing money was very low. Zhao Hai ¡®er suddenly opened the door and said coldly,¡±¡±Dad, mom, I advise you not to look for that B * tch Joes. She doesn¡¯t care about the Qiao family anymore and has even started a bigpany. Even if we go to her, we¡¯ll only be at a disadvantage. ¡± Today¡¯s events were still vivid in his mind. ¡°Bullshit!¡± However, Qiao Lei was extremely agitated. He wanted to rush up and beat Zhao Hai ¡®er up. He said angrily,¡±¡±It¡¯s all because of you! What, you don¡¯t want me to return the money now? Isn¡¯t our dad his dad too? ording to thew, she has an obligation to support her parents. Why can¡¯t she give us money?¡± ¡°Do you know thew?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of mockery. Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, Liu Yun couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and stopped them,¡±Alright, let¡¯s see what your dad decides on this matter. It¡¯s not that easy to pay back five hundred thousand Yuan. With our family¡¯s current situation, I don¡¯t know if we can evene up with half of it!¡± In an instant, the atmosphere was low. ¡°Unfilial son!¡± Qiao Feng was still furious. He red at Qiao Lei and scolded again. Qiao Lei shrunk his neck and retorted,¡±¡±Dad, it¡¯s really not my fault. It¡¯s all because of boss long and the others. If they didn¡¯t force me and tempt me to gamble the first time, saying that I could make money, I wouldn¡¯t have gambled! Our son just wanted to earn more money to help out the family. Who knew that it would end up like this?¡± Qiao Lei had ced himself in an extremely high position. However, even if Qiao Feng was stupid, he had eaten and walked more paths than Qiao Lei. ¡°Have you ever seen anyone make money by gambling?¡± he asked, his eyes full of anger. Qiao Feng hadpletely forgotten that he was also obsessed with gambling a while ago. In the end, he had to give up because he had no money in his pocket. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be any better than Qiao Lei. ¡°Dad, please help me.¡± Hearing Qiao Lei¡¯s begging, Qiao Feng became more and more irritated. He stood up and said,¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t talk to me about this. I¡¯ll think of a way to get some money from Joes when I have the time. ¡± Qiao Feng paused.¡±Also, you can¡¯t waste your sry. Leave it all for me!¡± Now that their family was in debt of 500000 Yuan, Liu Yun and the others might have been able to save up some money for themselves. However, at this point, they had all turned into bubbles. Liu Yun¡¯s eyes widened. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Qiao Feng¡¯s angry face and swallowed her words. As for Zhao Hai ¡®er, she had already expected this to happen when she told the others about Qiao Lei¡¯s debt. Now that he heard it, he was not too surprised. Qiao Feng was really tired. He clutched his aching heart and returned to his room after saying what he had to say. In the living room, Liu Yun was also constantly trying to persuade Qiao Lei. It was getting impatient. ¡°Xiao Lei, please don¡¯t provoke them again. Our family really doesn¡¯t have that much money.¡± Liu Yun said as she wiped away her tears. She was no longer the Shrew she was outside, and looked like a kind mother. Qiao Lei heard the crying and felt irritated. He waved his hand and said,¡±¡±I know, mom. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. It¡¯s boss long and the others who won¡¯t let me go.¡± Not far away, Zhao Hai ¡®er was standing at the door, looking at the two coldly. After a while, she retracted her gaze and turned back to her room. She knew that Qiao Lei was not the one who needed to be in debt. If it was her, Qiao Feng¡¯s family would definitely not find a way to help her pay back the money. This was a family that valued men over women, and even Liu Yun was the same. ¡­¡­¡­ Xing Yuan design, upstairs. At this moment, Joes, who was constantly on the Qiao family¡¯s mind, had no idea that this endless group of vampires had their eyes on her. They were like cockroaches that couldn¡¯t be killed. Joes was checking on the renovation progress upstairs. After a few days, it was already much better than when the renovation had first started. In addition to the extra pay, these employees worked harder. In just a few days, the paint on the walls had already been painted, and oneyer was almostpleted. However, it would still need to be vacant for a while, and then some new office tables and other things would be put in. Only then would it be trulypleted. Joes walked around but did not see the person-in-charge fromst time. She asked the other workers,¡±¡±Where¡¯s the person in charge?¡± After hearing this, the workers looked at each other and said,¡±¡±President, the person in charge has something to do today. He might be able toe a littleter.¡± ¡°Okay, you guys go ahead. Come to thepany¡¯s cafeteria for dinner at night.¡± Joes said with a smile. Chapter 410 - I won’t shortchange you guys

Chapter 410: I won¡¯t shortchange you guys

These workers were busy working on the surface. Lunch and some extra food were all provided by Xing Yuan design. Joes had even prepared to give them a small gift or bonus after they were done with their work if possible. Inparison, thetter might be more popr. The workers all smiled and quickly wrote,¡±¡±Thank you, President!¡± After greeting each other, Qiao sisi did not stay any longer upstairs. She turned around and went downstairs. In the elevator, she received a text message from Zheng Zeyi. The content of the message was very simple. It was to ask if Joes was free. If she was free, she would meet a client in a few days. Client? Looking at the two words, Qiao si frowned. What kind of client did the Zheng¡¯S corporation have that required her and Zheng ze to attend to together? Even though she did not quite understand, Zheng Zeyi should know what was going on. Since he had asked, he definitely needed it. After that, Joes quickly typed a few words on the screen, indicating that she was free for the next few days and could receive him together. She put her phone back into her pocket and walked toward her office after the elevator door opened. It was almost evening. ...... In addition, the weather was not good today. Looking out of the window, he could only see a gray sky. Qiao si took her bag and was about to leave when she received a reply from Zheng Zeyi. When she opened it, she realized that he had said that there would be a surprise at home. ¡°Surprise? What kind of surprise will it be?¡± Joes asked in confusion and replied with a voice message,¡±¡±Don¡¯t let me find out that it¡¯s something bad,¡± After saying that, she smiled and began to dial a familiar number from themunication page. It was Jianghai¡¯s phone number that the private detective had found. He had enjoyed a good day there, but joesse would not let him off so easily. I can¡¯t just let this matter rest! A sharp glint shed in Joes ¡®eyes as she walked towards the main entrance designed by Xing Yuan while making a call. A momentter, the call was picked up, and a slightly wretched voice came from the other side of the phone.¡±¡±Who is it?¡± It was obvious that she was not young. Joesse was also certain that this was Jianghai¡¯s phone number. Thinking of that greasy middle-aged man¡¯s face, Joes¡¯s face was expressionless as she said,¡±¡±President Jiang, do you still remember me?¡± A crisp female voice rang out, and even Jiang hai was stunned. Such a nice voice ... He carefully recalled, but could not figure out who it was. He could only ask,¡±¡±Who are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the president of Xing Yuan design. ¡± Joes calmly spat out this sentence. This sentence instantly left a deep impression in Jianghai¡¯s mind. He had been in contact with Joes quite a lot recently, from banquets to auctions. It was also because of this that she hated Qiao sisi and even coveted her. That was why Long Qian had taken the photos of the design. He did not expect everything to go so smoothly, nor did he know that Joes had already guessed that he was the mastermind. Jiang hai smiled evilly and said,¡±Then, I wonder what¡¯s the reason for your call today? Or has President Qiao thought it through and wants to have a chat with me at the hotel? As long as President Qiao agrees, you can decide on the time and ce. ¡± Bah! Jianghai¡¯s shamelessness almost made Joes curse out loud. He was simply the most shameless person in the world. This kind of person deserved to be tricked! Joes¡¯s face was cold as she revealed her motive,¡±¡±Director Jiang, I¡¯m not interested in talking to you about other things. I just have something here that I would like to show you. I think it¡¯s quite important, and I don¡¯t think you¡¯d want it to fall into my hands. ¡± Joes¡¯s words made sense, but she was not lying. She did have a piece of decisive evidence in her hands regarding Jianghai city. If this evidence was exposed ... The entire Jiang Corporation would be finished! However, joesse ¡°What is it?¡± Jiang hai furrowed his brows as an ominous feeling rose in his heart. Hearing this, joesse knew that Jianghai was panicking. She smiled,¡±¡±As for what it is, I¡¯ll tell you when President Jianges.¡± ¡°You!¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s attitude changed. His tone was filled with anger. He frowned and said,¡±Where should we meet?¡± ¡°The cafe in the hundred Star Mall. You know it.¡± Joes had no intention of talking to Jiang hai any further. After she said that, she hung up the phone and a toot sound came from the other end. On the other end of the line, Jianghai had not received any information. He only knew that Joes had a document in her hands. It could be very important, but it could also be just a joke. There were two possibilities. No matter who it was, they would lean towards the former. ¡°This stinky woman! Why are you acting all high and mighty!¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± Jiang hai cursed and smashed his phone on the sofa. He leaned back against the soft pillow with a heavy expression. However ... Did that woman really have any evidence, or did she know that he was behind the leak of the design n? Jiang Hai¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts. No matter what, he still had to go and take a look. If the situation turned out to be disadvantageous to him, Jossi would at most be a woman who could not even truss a chicken. Why not ... Jiang haiughed evilly, the expression on his face making him look even more wretched. He didn¡¯t waste any time. He took the car keys on the table and left the vi for the hundred Star Mall. On the other hand, joesse was certain that Jianghai woulde to see her. He would rather believe it than not. Even if it didn¡¯t exist, he wouldn¡¯t lose anything. When she arrived at the entrance of Xing Yuan design, she caught a glimpse of the two security guards at the entrance who were about to leave work. ¡°Wait, little Huang, little Wang.¡± The two security guards stopped in their tracks when they heard Joes¡¯s voice. They looked at her in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, President? do you have any orders?¡± The two security guards were young, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. It was not strange for Jossi to address them as such. ¡°There¡¯s something that I need you to work overtime for,¡± she said with a smile.¡±I¡¯ll pay you well.¡± ¡°Working overtime?¡± Xiaowang and Xiaohuang asked in unison. ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Joss nodded without hesitation. She was worried about going to meet the cunning people of Jianghai city alone. Even if she had some self-defense items on her, it would not do. Coincidentally, these two security guards had good moral conduct, so joesse would just count it as them working overtime this time. This way, it would be much safer, so there was no need to worry. Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Director Jiang who has been on TV

At that moment, Jossi had no idea that this matter would make a certain vengeful man jealous for a long time. ¡°President, what do we need to do if we work overtime?¡± Xiaowang asked carefully. Joes flicked the car keys in her hand.¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to do anything, just follow me. My car is parked outside. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll talk to the HR department tomorrow and give you overtime pay. ¡± At this point, Xiaowang and Xiaohuang, the two security guards, naturally had no reason to refuse. Furthermore, joesse had a good reputation in thepany and was especially good to her employees. ¡°Sure, President.¡± After agreeing, the two security guards followed Joes into her ck Audi. Just as she got into the driver¡¯s seat and was about to start the car, she suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her phone. Zheng Zeyi replied to a few messages. After briefly ncing at them, Jossi had an idea of what was going on. ¡°Zeyi, I have something to do tonight and need to go out. Don¡¯t worry if you don¡¯t see me in the apartment. I¡¯ve found the mastermind behind the leak of the design, and I¡¯ve brought two bodyguards with me. I¡¯ll give you the good news when I get back!¡± Raising her brows, Joes smiled and sent the message before she kept her phone and started the car. ...... The two sides set off one after another, but the first one to arrive at hundred Star Mall was Jossi. After arriving at the caf¨¦, Joes ordered three cups of coffee. One was for herself, and the other two were for the security guards beside her. Seeing the expensive coffee, a trace of surprise shed in their eyes. ¡°President, this ...¡± Just as they spoke, Joes immediately understood what they wanted to say and interrupted them. He pushed the coffee cup forward and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s my treat. Someone wille in a while, so you can sit at the table next to mine. If there¡¯s any situation, remember to look at my hand signal ande help when the timees. ¡± Xiaowang was about to ask when he was stopped by Xiaohuang, who warned him,¡±¡±Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask. ¡± Goldie then said to joesse,¡±¡±President, we understand what you¡¯ve said. We¡¯ll do as you sayter.¡± Goldie was also a reasonable person. It was obvious that joesse must have arranged to meet someone important to discuss matters here. Inviting them over was obviously because their safety was not guaranteed, or it was something else. In short, they couldn¡¯t havee here for no reason. There must be a reason. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m relieved to hear that.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows slightly. Then, the sky King and Goldie looked at each other and did not stay on the table for long. He brought his coffee and sat at the table next door with the best view. From here, he could clearly see what was happening at Joes¡¯s table. If anything happened, it would be easier to deal with. However, if they were conversing, and Joes and the rest had intentionally lowered their volume, it would still be difficult to hear them first. After waiting in the caf¨¦ for five to six minutes, Jiang hai finally arrived. He was wearing a shirt, but the shirt that looked more handsome and refined on others looked even more greasy on him. Coupled with the fact that she had put on a lot of weight, the button in the middle looked like it was going to burst open. Not to mention that face, which was extremely greasy. Even Qiao Si was a little suspicious of Long Qian¡¯s taste. To be able to take a fancy to a man like Jianghai, she must have a weird taste. Or was it not like this when he was in Jianghai University? Even though her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, Joes still did not say a single word. She held a silver spoon in her hand and gently stirred the coffee in her cup. The rich aroma assailed her nostrils, and it made Joes ¡®mood slightly better. The moment Jiang hai entered the caf¨¦, he scanned the entire ce and spotted joesse in a rather conspicuous spot. He squeezed out a smile and walked over.¡±¡±President Qiao, I knew it was you.¡± ¡°Ha ...¡± Joes sneered but did not say anything. Jiang hai sat down in front of joesse, and when he saw that there was no coffee in front of him, he reached out for a waiter. ¡°Waiter, a cup of coffee, please.¡± Hearing this, the waiter quickly came over and said,¡±¡±Okay, please wait for a moment.¡± Just as he was about to leave, he saw the huge difference between the two of them at Jossi¡¯s table. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. After a while, the coffee was served. Jiang hai clearly did not realize the severity of the situation. After stirring the coffee, he took a big gulp. Then, he smiled and asked,¡±¡±President Qiao, I wonder what you want me to see today?¡± Upon hearing that, Jossi¡¯s hand that was holding the coffee cup paused for a moment. She then took out a document from her bag. This document was the evidence that she had asked a private detective to gather about the various things that Jianghai city had done. This included corruption and even the sale of some things. Everything was clearly recorded on it. Of course ... There was more than one copy of the document. Joes was worried that Jiang hai would destroy the document in a fit of anger. So, she had made a backup on herputer at home in case of any idents. At the thought of this, the corners of Jossi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She pointed at the document and said,¡±¡±President Jiang, this is what I wanted to show you. But don¡¯t get too worked up after you see it. After all, I¡¯m the only one who knows about this. ¡± She chuckled at the end of her sentence. Jiang Hai¡¯s gaze fell on the document and he squinted his eyes. He felt that something was wrong. ¡°Alright, let me take a look then, President Qiao.¡± Suppressing the premonition that was surging up from the bottom of his heart, he was about to reach out for the document when it was stopped by Jossi. Her fair hand was pressed on the document, as if she had something to say. ¡°President Jiang, this is my bargaining chip. After you see it, don¡¯t do anything extreme.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. She didn¡¯t dy and pushed the documents forward after she finished speaking. Extreme action? When he heard those words, the premonition in Jiang Hai¡¯s heart grew even stronger. Ignoring joesse¡¯s half-smile, he quickly brought the document over. His speed was extremely fast. He took out the paper and began to read from beginning to end, not daring to miss a single word. This scene was also seen by the two security guards next door. After Xiaowang finished his coffee, he patted his stomach in satisfaction. He looked at the scene in the distance and was a little surprised.¡±¡±I remember him. Isn¡¯t he the president Jiang who appeared on TV?¡± Chapter 412

Chapter 412: Donation of 10 million

¡°I remember that too. I didn¡¯t expect to meet the President here.¡± Goldie was also a little confused. He didn¡¯t touch the coffee in front of him, but he was constantly worried about what might happen at the next table. At this moment, little Wang thought for a while and guessed,¡±¡±Is the president going to trade something with him?¡± The two of them had also seen the document. After hearing this, Goldie quickly stopped Xiaowang from continuing with a look and made a gesture to him to keep quiet. ¡°Let¡¯s not make wild guesses about the president¡¯s matter. We¡¯ll just wait here ording to the president¡¯s instructions. When something happens, the president will naturally let us go over. ¡± Hearing Xiao Huang¡¯s words, Xiao Wang also came to a realization and nodded.¡±¡±I know, I won¡¯t ask anymore.¡± The two of them stopped whispering and observed Joes¡¯s table next door. Their actions were very secretive and almost no one noticed them. At another table. Jiang hai was reading the document from the first page to thest. His face darkened bit by bit. In the end, it was as ck as charcoal! The phone that he was holding the documents on was shaking. He could not help but look up at Joes, his eyes filled with disbelief. ...... Why did this woman have these things? Jiang hai could not believe it. He had thought that he had dealt with the matter cleanly, but in the end, he was still caught. He wasn¡¯t a fool and naturally knew the consequences of this document being leaked. If it was leaked, the Jiang Corporation would be done for, and all his years of hard work would be destroyed in a day! The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Hai¡¯s hands trembled. He swallowed and closed the document. However, he naturally ced it by his side and did not return it to Joes. After Joes saw this scene, she raised her brows slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±President Jiang, you¡¯re done? What do you think of the contents?¡± She didn¡¯t have only one document. If she dared to take it out, it meant that she had a backup. If Jiang hai was not as stupid as he thought, he would not have destroyed the document. At that time, there would basically be no consequences to discuss. ¡°You ...¡± Jiang hai managed to say one word with much difficulty, but the rest of the words were stuck in his throat. Right now, all the initiative was in Joes ¡®hands. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you want to say anything, President Jiang?¡± Joesughed with a hint of a smile in her eyes. ¡°Of course I have something to say!¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s face turned red as he blurted out these words. He couldn¡¯t say anything as the evidence made him a little afraid. ¡°This document ... Where did you get it from?¡± The look in Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes changed instantly. He stared at Joes¡¯s face, afraid that he would miss out on any subtle expression. Upon hearing that, Joes took a sip of the coffee in front of her unhurriedly, as if nothing had happened. ¡°Director Jiang, you don¡¯t have to worry about where I got this from.¡± You should be worried about what we¡¯re going to talk about after I get this document. ¡± Jossi and Jiang hai had no intention of dragging things out. They wanted to finish their business as soon as possible and return to the apartment. Facing such a greasy middle-aged man, she could not even drink coffee. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai¡¯s face turned pale and he lowered his head in guilt, suppressing the panic in his heart,¡±¡±I can offer a price to buy this document!¡± He suddenly raised his head. Although she sounded very anxious, she still lowered her voice so that the people in the cafe wouldn¡¯t hear about it. ¡°President Qiao, this document is very important. I can buy it for however much you want! How much do you want?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s face turned red. Even his speech was incoherent. It was clear that this document had really caused a huge impact on him. Looking at this scene, the corners of joesse¡¯s lips curled up slightly. After all, this was the scene that she wanted to see. Since Jianghai was so vicious, he had even leaked Xing Yuan¡¯s design n and made the matter known to everyone. He should have known the consequences. This was an eye for an eye. Joes¡¯s expression was calm as she smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, director Jiang. I can understand how you¡¯re feeling. However, you know the situation of ourpany. I don¡¯tck money at all, and I don¡¯t need you to use money to buy this document. ¡± ¡°Then what do you need?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes reddened as he roared and mmed his hands on the table. She didn¡¯t control her volume and attracted the attention of everyone in the cafe. Seeing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s face stiffened. He remained silent for a long time. After the passersby had looked away, he spoke again. He pressed his hand on the document and said,¡±President Qiao, I know that you brought this document here today to get something from me.¡± This document is very important to me. Please have mercy and sell it to me!¡± Thest part of the sentence was forced out of Jiang Hai¡¯s mouth. From being high and mighty in the past, he was now begging Joes for help. The difference was enough to drive him crazy. Joes nced at him and then looked away.¡±¡±It¡¯s fine if I sell it to you, I don¡¯t have that intention. However, if you don¡¯t want me to expose this document, I can consider it. ¡± Hearing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s breathing quickened and he quickly said,¡±¡±President Qiao, what do you need me to do?¡± He clenched his fists tightly. If not for the fact that he was worried that Joes might have other tricks up her sleeve, he would have torn the document into pieces. When he went back, he had to investigate thoroughly and find out what went wrong! How could these things be discovered? Jiang Hai¡¯s heart was filled with hatred, but more than that, he was afraid. If Joes knew about it, it meant that the others might know about it too. With this evidence, he would have the power to decide the life and death of the Jiang Corporation! After a short while, Joes revealed her motive,¡±¡±It¡¯s simple. Hengyuan investment and the Zheng¡¯s group will be hosting the charity event in a few days. I want you to ... Donate 10 million Yuan to the charity Association. ¡± ¡°What?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes widened. He had no idea what kind of number he had just heard. Ten million was not a small amount, not to mention that the Jiang Corporation was not a bigpany. It could only be said to be a medium-sizedpany. It was not an easy thing to transfer ten million Yuan. Most importantly, Jianghai was reluctant to do so. He pulled a long face and was about to say something, but Joes did not give him the chance. Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Don¡¯t talk nonsense in the future

Joesse chuckled and dropped her pretense. She addressed Jiang hai by his name. ¡°Alright, Jianghai. Ten million is not that hard for you toe up with if you have the heart. I don¡¯t have anything else to say. If you don¡¯t want me to expose this document, then bring 10 million to the kindness Association a weekter. ¡± Joesughed coldly and was about to get up, but she was stopped by the quick-witted Jiang hai. His gaze was focused on joesse, and he asked in an anxious tone,¡±¡±President Qiao, is there really no other way?¡± ¡°No, I didn ¡®t!¡± His tone was firm. Joes did not want to take Jianghai¡¯s stinky money, she just wanted to torture him. If not for the fact that Jianghai city had leaked the design n, she would not have hired a private detective to collect so-called evidence. Looking at this scene, Jiang hai understood that if he could note up with the 10 million, this document ... Would be exposed! He lowered his head slightly to hide theplicated emotions in his eyes, including a sh of hatred. He did not want Jossi to see it. ¡°This stinky woman, why don¡¯t you just go and die!¡± Jiang hai cursed in his heart, but he still put on a ttering smile.¡±President Qiao, I really can¡¯t afford that much money. President Qiao, why don¡¯t you lower your requirements a little? I have five million here. How about I donate five million to the charity?¡± ...... Even though five million was reduced by half, Jianghai¡¯s heart still ached, not to mention donating ten million. His words were also meant to test Joes¡¯s attitude. Everyone knew that the charity Association jointly organized by the Zheng¡¯s group and Hengyuan investment had no shady business at all. The money would be able tond in the hands of the escapees or be used to build primary schools. In short, it would be used for meaningful things. To be able to donate a lot at a charity event would also make people in the circle look up to him. Joes stared at the fawning Jianghai and said emotionlessly,¡±¡±Jiang hai, I¡¯ll tell you onest time. Don¡¯t try to y any tricks with me. Since I said it was ten million, you can just bring ten million to the charity Association. Don¡¯t think about using five million to make up the numbers. If you can¡¯t evene up with 10 million, I¡¯m sorry ... Then I¡¯ll have to expose this document. ¡± After speaking, Joes picked up the document in front of Jiang hai. This was the most important piece of evidence. Jiang Hai¡¯s gaze fell on the document. He clenched his left fist and his eyes turned red. As soon as he saw the document, he panicked. He was afraid that everything he had now would be destroyed. And the main culprit behind all of this was Jossi! Gritting his teeth, Jiang hai was no longer willing to maintain the peace on the surface. He said,¡±Jossi, you¡¯re going too far!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going too far?¡± Joesughed sarcastically, unable to believe what she had just heard from Jiang Hai¡¯s mouth. ¡°Jianghai, do you really think that you¡¯re so secretive about what you¡¯ve done that no one knows?¡± I¡¯m sorry, but I already know about it. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have grabbed your life and threatened you. ¡± Joes was talking about the leaked design. Even if Jiang hai had only done something behind her back, Long Qian would not have stolen the design without his instructions. It couldn¡¯t be said that there was nothing wrong. It could only be said that this matter was caused by these two. Every injustice had its perpetrator, and every debt had its debtor. Joes¡¯s cold gaze made Jianghai¡¯s heart skip a beat. He asked in surprise,¡±¡±You ... You know everything?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Joes retorted and ignored Jiang hai,¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing more to say between us. Ten million is ten million. If I can ¡®t, I¡¯ll expose it. It¡¯s that simple. Jianghai, the charity banquet will be held in a week. ¡± ¡°You ... Wait!¡± Jianghai¡¯s body trembled in anger, but joesse left without even turning back. He mmed the table hard, wishing he could vent all his anger on the table. ¡°This B * tch!¡± Jiang hai cursed viciously, the hatred in his eyes threatening to overflow. Joes¡¯s actions had seriously affected his interests. It was also because of this that Jianghai did not notice Xiao Wang and Xiao Huang who were leaving behind Joes. It could be considered a backup n that she had prepared. If Jianghai were to fly into a rage out of humiliation, Joes ¡®safety would be guaranteed with the two of them around. However, from the looks of it, it was not necessary. After all, Jianghai could not do anything in public. The three of them walked toward the underground parking lot. It was very quiet along the way, and no one spoke. Joes nced at the silent Xiao Wang and Xiao Huang, raised her eyebrows, and said,¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you two talking?¡± ¡°We ...¡± The two of them looked at each other. They were both choked and didn¡¯t know what to say. Although they did not hear the entire conversation between Joes and Jianghai, they knew that Jiang hai was the only one who had heard it. However, he could still hear a few words when Jianghai lost control. They seemed to have understood that the CEO was wearing something to threaten Jianghai. As a result, the two of them didn¡¯t dare to speak. Joes smiled and said,¡±you two don¡¯t have to be like this. Since I¡¯ve called you here, it means that I trust you.¡± Get in the car, remember not to say anything about this when you get back to thepany. ¡± ¡°President.¡± Goldie and Xiaowang said in unison and nodded their heads with a firm expression to show their loyalty. Looking at this scene, joesse¡¯s smile deepened and she drove away. She first sent the two security guards home, then drove to blue sky Duke. After alighting from the car, joesse took out her keys from her pocket and boarded the elevator. There was no one in the elevator, but she was a little flustered. She quickly picked up her phone and saw that she had received several text messages. However, during the negotiation with Jiang hai, she did not even look at it. This time ... We¡¯re finished. Joes¡¯s eyelids twitched and she put her phone away guiltily. When the elevator reached her floor, the first thing she did was to observe the situation in the corridor. It wasn¡¯t toote, and there wasn¡¯t a single person in the corridor. In addition, there were not many residents in the blue sky Apartment. Other than Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi, there were only a dozen or so households. Moreover, they were not even on the same floor, which made Joes feel that there were only one or two of them in the apartment. Chapter 414

Chapter 414: A very good gift

¡°Zeyi?¡± Joes swallowed her saliva and called out softly once. Other than an echo, she did not receive any other response. Was he not here? Joes raised her brows slightly and thought that it was possible. After all, the Zheng¡¯s group had been quite busy recently. Thinking of this, she felt a little more at ease. She took out her key and walked to her door. Just as she was about to open the door, something happened. The door behind her made a light ¡°Kacha¡± sound. Joes froze on the spot. She did not even know that she had inserted her key into the lock. She turned her head stiffly. Sure enough! At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was dressed in ck Casual clothes and was leaningzily against the door. That pair of deep eyes was staring at her. Joes was like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head slightly and said,¡±¡±I ... Came back toote.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± After Zheng Zeyi replied, Jossi raised her eyebrows and looked up in surprise. ...... Then, she realized that there seemed to be something beside Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand. It was a brown paper bag that was filled to the brim. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and handed the paper bag to joesse. He said,¡±¡±I brought you dinner. Remember to eat it.¡± ¡°Dinner?¡± Joes was slightly taken aback and was forced to catch the paper bag. She could also smell the fragrance of fooding from within.? After a busy day, she had indeed not eaten. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be so considerate and prepare everything. Warmth surged in her heart, and Joes ¡®smile became even gentler,¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi ruffled her hair and asked with a smile,¡±¡±By the way, who did you go out with today?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes¡¯s expression instantly froze. She rubbed her ears andughed in embarrassment,¡±¡±No, no, I just went out for a cup of coffee and then I went out with Jianghai, the person you know. I¡¯ve got a piece of evidence against him, and he¡¯s the one behind the leak of ourpany¡¯s design n. This meeting is also to threaten him to take out ten million Yuan and donate it to the charity Association. ¡± After saying that, Jossi revealed a faint smile. It was a good thing that she could donate the money to help others. Anyway, she would not ept it herself. During this period, he did not mention Goldie or Xiaowang at all. However, when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression turning darker, she hesitated and said,¡±¡±Okay ... I also brought two bodyguards.¡± ¡°Bodyguard?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words had a deeper meaning. ¡°Yes, they are the two security guards at mypany¡¯s entrance. One is called Xiao Huang and the other is called Xiao Wang. I was worried that Jiang hai would fly into a rage after reading the document, so I hired them to stand by and watch. I even paid them overtime. ¡± Joes immediately told him everything. Zheng Zeyi was silent for a moment before he asked,¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t youe to me?¡± After saying that, he lifted his eyes and stared into Joes ¡®bright eyes, hoping to see what he wanted to see. To Zheng Zeyi, he was the only one who could ensure his wife¡¯s safety. He did not need the two security guards at all. However, Joes did not think of him and left immediately after sending a text message. He made a few calls, but none of them answered. Joes felt even more guilty and knew that she was in the wrong. She lowered her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry. I ... Did something wrong. ¡± Seeing his wife¡¯s aggrieved look, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s anger dissipated by half and he smiled helplessly. He stretched out his hand and pinched Joes ¡®delicate face, asking,¡±¡±Then, if you encounter something simr next time, will you call security or me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m calling you!¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately gave an answer. First, she felt that it would be better to bring Zheng Zeyi along, especially since they were in a rtionship. There was no need to be too distant or find it troublesome. As for the second ... Qiao si si was certain that if she did not mention Zheng ze¡¯s name, this jealous person would not let her off. That was why Qiao si had chosen Zheng Zeyi with determination. The facts had proven that she had made the right choice. The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth could not help but curve up as he said with a smile,¡±¡±This is more like it.¡± Joes also revealed a bright smile. Just as she was about to speak, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face suddenly erged. Before she could react, his thin lips had alreadynded on hers. The warm touch made Joes¡¯s heart beat faster and faster. However, she was no longer as inexperienced as she was in the beginning. After a deep kiss, he was not as breathless as he was at the beginning. Zheng ze pinched her cheek again and again. His eyes were extremely dark as he stared at her bright lips. He was like a Hunter, staring at his prey. ¡°I¡¯ll make my move when you¡¯re willing. ¡± Zheng Zeyi moved closer to Qiao si SI¡¯s ear and breathed out hot air. After hearing this, Joes¡¯s legs turned to jelly. She looked away and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t know?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and the curve of his lips widened. He shook his head slightly and said,¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s go back. It¡¯ste. Go back early and have dinner, then rest early, understand?¡± ¡°I ... I know.¡± Qiao Si was still in a daze. She nodded and was pushed back into the apartment by Zheng ze. What was even more shocking was that other than a kiss, he did not do anything else. He did not even enter Joes¡¯s apartment. Candied shells and gentle words. In the end, she didn¡¯t even know how she returned to the apartment. She used her hand to fan her face gently, hoping that it would help her flush away. However, after a long time, it did not work at all. On the contrary, it was even hotter. Joes took a deep breath and got up to turn on the fan to calm herself down. However, she noticed something on the high-legged table. It was extremely eye-catching under the light. It was a small red Book. ¡°This is ... The proof of the shop.¡± Joes picked up the red certificate with much difficulty and could not help but turn to look in the direction of the door. It turned out that Zheng Zeyi had no intention of taking back the gift this morning. Not only that, he even stayed behind when Qiao si si was not paying attention. Actions were more important than words. This seemed to be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s style. Joes looked at the red certificate in her hand with aplicated expression. For the current design of star dors, this was undoubtedly a very good gift. But ... It was too valuable. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Joes ¡®lips curled up into a grateful smile as she muttered softly. Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance?

Zheng Zeyi was not here, so she did not know who she was talking to. However, it did not feel good to keep it in. After some thought, Qiao si took out her phone and sent a long message to Zheng Zeyi to express her feelings. After she sent out the long paragraph, her mood improved slightly. In the end, joesse chatted with Zheng ze as she finished the dinner he had sent over. Late into the night, the two of them were still sending text messages, like a young couple who had just entered the honeymoon period of their rtionship. Joes really could not turn a blind eye to the shop¡¯s proof. After spending so much time together, she could see Zheng Zeyi¡¯s feelings for her. She was not an emotionless robot. ¡°Zeyi, good night. Remember to sleep early.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents. After sending a voice message, she kept her phone andy on the bed to rest. But in her mind, that handsome face still appeared, including the way he spoke and the way he was jealous. Little did he know that the apartment on the other side was also in a simr situation. Zheng Zeyi, who was reading a book, couldn¡¯t even concentrate on his book. He nced at the apartment opposite from time to time. It was a good night¡¯s sleep. ...... For the next few days, joesse¡¯s life was a three-point line. Other than thepany, she was at the blue sky Apartment. asionally, she would go through some documents with Zheng Zeyi in his apartment. Of course, the process was very pure. Zheng Zeyi had also promised Qiao sisi that he would not touch her without her consent. Every time she heard these words, Joes would think of that stormy night a year ago, as if it had been deeply engraved in her memory. Because of this, she had been ridiculed by a certain man. As for the certificate of the shop, Joes took over the shop. However, in return, she would give 5% of the shop¡¯s price. Because this shop ... Was a chain store. When Zheng Zeyi was looking for it, he put in a lot of effort and saved joesse the trouble of looking for a shop. The renovations were still in progress. After the charity event was over, joesse would be able to prepare for the opening. As for the ¡°deep sea¡± series of jewelry, it was finally close topletion, including the jewelry made from other leaked designs. ¡­¡­¡­ In the morning, Xingyuan was designing. After Joes received the news, she immediately went to the production department. She saw a few of her trusted employees holding an exquisite box. ¡°Is this the deep sea series?¡± Joes asked. Hearing this, one of them nodded heavily. The dark circles under his eyes were still very obvious, showing that he had put a lot of effort into this matter. ¡°President, we didn¡¯t let you down. It took us a few days toplete it. Since we still had time, we decided to give it a touch up.¡± Joris could not help but smile when she heard their excited voices and their expressions of anticipation. She took the box and opened it. She was stunned by the jewelry inside. It was the same as the design ... The deep sea series! In the exquisite box, there was a set of jewels. The most eye-catching one was a ne made of sapphire. The clear and transparent gemstone was in the center. Under the illumination of the light, it reflected a dazzling light. The chain was thin, but it looked even more beautiful on her neck. The rest of the essories were not too different from what Joes had imagined. It could be said that they were no different from the design. Especially the bracelet. Although it was light, it was made of very precious gemstones and beautiful Broken diamonds. Together, they would form the best Pearl of the deep sea. She was stunned by the jewelry in the box for a moment. She took a few deep looks at the jewelry before reluctantly looking away. ¡°You did well this time. I¡¯ll let you know about the bonus when it¡¯s settled.¡± Joes smiled and raised her eyebrows. In the office, there was a burst of cheers.¡±¡±Thank you, President!¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. If there are simr orders next time, I¡¯ll leave it to you guys. ¡± Joes¡¯s words made the few of them even more surprised. To them, this was the greatest trust they had. ¡°Thank you, President. I¡¯ll definitelyplete the task!¡± After chatting with the staff for a while, joesse did not stay in the production department any longer and returned to the office with the box. To her, this was an extremely important item, and she had to keep it well. He didn¡¯t want what happened to Long Qian to happen again. If that happened, he wouldn¡¯t even have a ce to cry. After locking the box in a cab in the office and keeping the key, Josse heaved a sigh of relief. She hadn¡¯t looked at the other pieces of jewelry yet. Because of therge quantity, some ces still needed to be modified. So,pared to the estimated time, it might take one or two more days, but it wouldn¡¯t be any longer. In addition, the store was about to open soon, so many things needed to be prepared in advance. ¡°Knock, knock!¡± Just as Jossi was deep in thought, there was a knock on the office door. She straightened her face and said directly,¡±¡±Come in,¡± Millie pushed the door open and entered, frowning. Without waiting for Joes to ask, she revealed everything,¡±¡±Reporting to the president, there are two people downstairs who want to see you.¡± Two people? Joes was a little confused. Why was there always someone who wanted to see her, and why did they never call her? After thinking about it, Joes categorized all of them as troublesome. If they were really acquaintances, they would at least send a text message to inform him beforeing to Xing Yuan design, let alone call him. ¡°Did he say who it was?¡± Millie looked troubled, but she nodded in the end.¡±¡±President, it¡¯s a man and a woman. I don¡¯t know either of them. That woman imed to be ... President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e. ¡± What? Upon hearing that, joesse was stunned and did not know what to say. She was not stupid. Zheng Zeyi had been in the country for the past year. Even if he had a fianc¨¦e, she would have known. Therefore, there was only one possibility, and that was that the woman between the two was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rotten peach blossom. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi tell me about this in advance?¡± Joris cursed in her heart, but she quickly reacted and said,¡±¡±Let the two of theme up first and wait for me in the guest room.¡± ¡°President, are you sure you want to invite him up?¡± Miley had a feeling that those two people had ill intentions. They probably had some ill intentions when they came to see the president. However, joesse had already guessed this. She could even say that she was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, what else did they not dare to say? Since that was the case, he might as well meet them. In his own territory, Joes would not be afraid of these two people. Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Do you really not understand?

Looking at Millie¡¯s worried expression, Joes smiled andforted her,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. I let them in because I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± ¡°This ... Alright.¡± Millie agreed and left the office to invite the two people who were waiting downstairs. What Qiao si did not know was that these two people were Zhu Di and Ma Li, whom Zheng Zeyi had met when he was dealing with a coboration overseas. She sat in the office for a while. Just as she was about to call Zheng Zeyi, the screen disyed his number. Upon seeing this scene, Joes was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on her face. They were really ... Telepathic. After picking up the phone, Jossi raised her eyebrows and smiled,¡±¡±Zeyi, do you have something to tell me?¡± There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Zheng Zeyi¡¯s maic voice rang out.¡±¡±There is.¡± ¡°Two people?¡± Joes¡¯s smile deepened as she secretlyughed in her heart. Zheng Zeyi probably did not know that Zhu Di and Mo Jue had alreadye to look for her. After clearing her throat, just as Qiao Si was about to exin, Zheng Zeyi interrupted her,¡±¡±They came to find you?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Joes asked in surprise. ...... After saying this, she patted her own head in frustration. She was really stupid. She had already revealed so much information earlier. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi was an extremely intelligent person. After hearing this information, he naturally linked it to the possibility that the two people had already arrived. Joes slowly let out a sigh of relief and nodded her head, saying,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. If nothing unexpected happens, he should being up to see me soon. ¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi, who was in the office, clenched his left hand into a fist and narrowed his eyes. No one could see the dangerous glint that shed in his eyes. These two people really dared to provoke him. It was fine that they often came to thepany to look for him, but after all, he didn¡¯t even meet them. However, Zheng Zeyi could not tolerate it when he had provoked Qiao sisi. ¡°You want to see him?¡± Joes hesitated for a moment before saying,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine to see her. After all, that woman imed to be your fianc¨¦e. As a righteous person, I think we need to save her, so that she doesn¡¯t spread this to the whole world. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes chuckled. Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, could not take it anymore. His face was so dark that it looked like it could drip water, and the veins on his forehead could be clearly seen. It could be seen that he was in an extremely bad mood now. It was only because assistant li was not by his side. If assistant li had seen him, he would probably be trembling in fear. ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll rush over now!¡± Not long after, Zheng Zeyi made a decision. He did not want Joes to face the two of them alone. No matter what, Zhu Di¡¯s incident started because of him. ¡°You¡¯reing? Wait,e here ...¡± Just as joesse was about to ask, Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone. It seemed like he had rushed over. Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Joes held her forehead helplessly. It seemed like she had to think of a way to make these two stay for a while longer. This was to prevent them from leaving when Zheng ze arrived. Keeping her phone, Joes caught up with Millie and reported,¡±¡±President, those two people are already waiting for you in the guest room.¡± ¡°Okay, I know. You can go down first.¡± Millie nodded her head and returned to her seat after hearing Jossi¡¯s words. As for Joes, she sat in the office for a while. Her furrowed brows rxed a little before she walked into the guest room. ¡°Creak!¡± There was a slight sound of the door opening. Even though the voice was very soft, the reception room was extremely quiet to begin with, and it immediately attracted the gazes of Zhu Di and Ma Li. Zhu Di was dressed in a red coat as usual. Coupled with his exquisite makeup, he looked extremely arrogant. When she saw Joes push open the door and enter, her gaze fell on Joes. The two people¡¯s eyes met, and they instantly stared at each other. It was as if there were sparks in the air. For a moment, the reception room was extremely quiet. Seeing this scene, Ma Li was also stunned for a moment before he got up and revealed a smile.¡±You must be President Qiao, right?¡± He opened his mouth to break the silence, causing Joes and Jodie to temporarily look away, and the atmosphere returned to normal. Joes nodded and sat down in front of the two of them, saying,¡±¡±Yes, I am. You two are ...¡± ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of President Qiao¡¯s name. We¡¯ve speciallye to meet you. ¡± Ma Li said with a smile. His smile was very polite. If not for the fact that he was with Jodie, Joes would have thought that he was just here to visit. However, it was obvious that these two people did note with good intentions. Otherwise, they would not have imed to be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. ¡°You¡¯re too polite. ¡± Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. Without waiting for her to ask about the motive of these two people, Zhu Di revealed a mocking expression and said,¡±¡±Although we¡¯re here to visit President Qiao, I really didn¡¯t expect that yourpany doesn¡¯t know how to entertain guests. It¡¯s one thing for you to stop the two of us outside thepany, but you didn¡¯t even prepare tea for us in the reception room?¡± Towards the end, Zhu Di let out a ¡°tsk tsk¡± sound,¡±I really can¡¯tpliment this kind of behavior.¡± Compared to Ma Li¡¯s hypocrisy, Zhu Di said it directly, almost instantly revealing the purpose of the two of them. Her words caused Jossi¡¯s eyes to darken. ¡°Entertain?¡± Joes¡¯s tone was thought-provoking. After asking a question, she shook her head slightly. ¡°Miss, I would like to ask, who are you two? I¡¯ve never known you. ¡± Previously, when Zheng ze went overseas to handle the coboration project, Jossi did not follow him. Therefore, she didn¡¯t understand these two people at all. Just as Zhu Di was about to say something, Ma Li shot her a look, stopping her from doing so. He then turned around and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s normal for President Qiao to not know about us. We¡¯re both President Zheng¡¯s partnerpanies, and our main business is overseas. We¡¯re back in the country this time to visit. She¡¯s called Zhu Di, and I¡¯m ma Li. President Qiao, you can call me whatever you want. ¡± ¡°I see ...¡± Joes raised her brows slightly, but her expression was very calm and unruffled. Zhu Di was a little displeased now, but he still did not let go. ¡°But everyone whoes is a guest. Don¡¯t you understand the principle of treating them well?¡± A look of contempt shed across her eyes. She looked at Joes as if she was looking at a filthy ant. If Zheng Zeyi was not still on his way here, joesse would have chased the two of them out. Chapter 417

Chapter 417: We can exin

One was ying the good cop, the other was ying the good cop. It was really a big show, ying others like they were fools. Furthermore, this was Jossi¡¯s territory. She did not have to and did not need to put up with the two of them. After Jodie¡¯s sneer, Ma Li did not say a single word. His stance was clear. At this point, Joes did not n to hide her emotions. She twitched her lips and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re miss Jodie, right?¡± ¡°So what if I am?¡± judi raised her eyebrows. That haughty look on her face would have made anyone who did not know her think that Joes was the one in the wrong. ¡°Miss Zhu, you¡¯re so thick-skinned.¡± Joes ¡®lips curled up as she said this indifferently. His tone was calm. However, those words made Zhu Di squint his eyes. The biggest difference between her and Zhao Hai ¡®er and the others was that she would not show her emotions on her face. If it were them, they would have probably cursed out loud. Zhu Di ced his hands on the table and yed with his fingers as heughed coldly,¡±¡±So this is President Qiao¡¯s attitude towards his guests. He can even say such words. Or did I really overestimate President Qiao? a person from a small ce has such narrow vision!¡± ...... This sentence could be said to have killed many people with a stick. Joes¡¯s eyes shed with a strange glint as she looked at Jodie. Jodie was not to be outdone either, and looked back at her with a sharp gaze. After a long while, Joes finally said,¡±miss Jodie, I¡¯m giving you face by addressing you as miss.¡± Do you think you can be considered a guest here?¡± At this point, joesse¡¯s smile widened. Zhu Di looked at her smiling face and could see a trace of coldness within it. It was as though her thoughts werepletely seen through. In front of Joes, any thoughts could not be hidden. Zhu Di¡¯s eyes flickered, but he was no longer as arrogant as before. He turned his eyes away and said,¡±¡±What do you mean? I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t understand?¡± Joes retorted, her gaze on Ma Li,¡±¡±You¡¯ve been following miss Zhu Di around without saying a word. However, I can tell that you should know what you¡¯re doing. It¡¯s not difficult for me to treat you with respect. ¡± She paused for a moment before continuing,¡±but I¡¯ve never seen any of my guests im to be my boyfriend¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± I need you to give me a reasonable exnation for this!¡± At the mention of this topic, Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with a cold glint, and her tone was even colder. It could be seen that she was ... Really angry now. ¡°You!¡± Jodie¡¯s brows furrowed as he looked at Joes in the eye. He was a little annoyed, but he did not know what to say. She couldn¡¯t refute this. When she first came to star Yuan design, she couldn¡¯t meet joesse without an appointment. Later on, when Millie arrived, Zhu Di had an idea and chose to say that she was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. In the end, it had be one of the reasons she could not refute. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did miss Zhu not know what to say? You should know that President Zheng¡¯s fianc¨¦e ... It should be me!¡± Joesughed coldly, choking Jodie so much that he could not say a word. He red at Jodie and said,¡±¡±Oh, President Qiao, don¡¯t misunderstand. I don¡¯t mean anything by that. I just wanted to see President Qiao. If I didn¡¯t say that, it would be too difficult to see you. ¡± Both openly and secretly, Zhu Di was mocking Joes¡¯s star elemental design. A te of Ma Li chimed in as well.¡±President Qiao, you¡¯ve indeed gone a little overboard with your words. Zhu Di was in the wrong as well. I¡¯ll apologize to you on her behalf.¡± ¡°What right do you have to apologize?¡± Jodie raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with disdain for Joes. He stood up and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, don¡¯t try to push all the me on me. Did you not do anything wrong? Or is this how everyone in yourpany treats their guests?¡± His overbearing wordspletely ignited the smoke of war! Joes was so infuriated by Jodie¡¯s shameless words that she almostughed out loud. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. At this moment, the door of the guest room was suddenly opened. A slender figure walked in from the outside. He was wearing a ck suit that entuated his perfect figure. His sculpted handsome face seemed to be glowing under the light. It was Zheng Zeyi. After receiving the news that Zhu Di and Ma Li hade to star dors design, he had immediately rushed over. In just a few minutes, he arrived at the star Yuan design. The staff in Xing Yuan design all knew Zheng Zeyi, so they naturally did not stop him. Miley even led him directly to the guest room. After entering, Zheng Zeyi nced at the three people in the guest room and strode over to sit beside joesse. The atmosphere in the reception room also changed instantly! ¡°I didn¡¯t know. The two of you are so respected. You can¡¯t find me, so you came to find my fianc¨¦e!¡± A maic voice rang out, causing the reception room to fall silent. There was even a faint sense of pressure, causing Joes and Jodie to feel as if there was a dagger on their backs. Zhu Di¡¯s previous arrogance hadpletely disappeared. In front of Zheng Zeyi, she could not be arrogant at all. If even the daughter of the CEO, Jodie, was in such a state, then what about Ma Li, who was sitting beside them? He was not afraid of Joes, but he was afraid of going up against someone as powerful as Zheng Zeyi. Furthermore ... He was the man that Jodie liked. The situation began to divide, forming a stalemate. ¡°President Zheng, what are you doing here? We don¡¯t mean that, don¡¯t get us wrong. ¡± Ma Li said after frowning. Zheng Zeyi nced at him coldly and said,¡±¡±Misunderstanding? Is it also a misunderstanding that you¡¯ve crossed me to look for my fianc¨¦e?¡± Upon hearing this, Zhu Di¡¯s heart started beating rapidly as he stood up and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, we have no choice but to do this. We can¡¯t see you. In the end, we felt that your fianc¨¦e might have a way, so we came to see her. There might be some misunderstanding, and we can exin it. ¡± Jodie¡¯s attitude lowered a little. However, she thought that as Zheng Zeyi¡¯s partnerpany, there was no need for her to be too humble. In fact, Zheng Zeyi did not need a business partner like them at all. This was the strength of the Zheng¡¯s group. The reason why they chose to cooperate was that it would make the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group¡¯s business overseas smoother. It could only be said to be adding flowers to a brocade. After Zhu Di finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression did not change at all. It was still extremely ugly, and his entire body was exuding a cold air. Chapter 418

Chapter 418: That¡¯s a good idea

Upon seeing this, Qiao si furrowed her brows slightly and ced her hand on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s shoulder. The warm temperature passed through the suit to Zheng Zeyi, and his expression improved a little. ¡°I remember my assistant telling you that I¡¯m not feeling well.¡± Zheng Zeyi said coldly. ¡°This ...¡± When they heard this, Zhu Di and Ma Li¡¯s expressions froze and they averted their eyes slightly, not looking at Zheng Zeyi. They could not possibly say that they did not believe that Zheng Zeyi was not feeling well and that they were curious about joesse, which was why they had found her. If this were to be said, there would be no need to put up a front. The cooperation between the twopanies might even have problems because of this. Thinking of this, judi¡¯s eyes shed with hatred. She suppressed her emotions and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, President Zheng, we were being rude. ¡± ¡°If you know that I¡¯m being rude, then please leave. I still have something to do here, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to receive you.¡± Joes also frowned. Her words had pushed Zhu Di¡¯s hatred towards her to the max. However, because of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s presence, even if Joes did not say anything, Zhu Di would not ignore her. She wanted to be the Zheng family¡¯s young Madam, and Joes was her biggest obstacle, which had to be removed. ...¡±Alright, we¡¯ll take our leave then.¡± Zhu Di gritted his teeth. He did not want to leave, but after seeing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression, he had no choice but to do so. ...... She was sure that if she didn¡¯t leave now, this man would really get angry. ¡°Ma Li, let¡¯s go!¡± After Jodie finished, Ma Li nodded his head slightly and said,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. The two of them immediately left the star essence design, their backs looking rather embarrassed. He was as arrogant as he was when he came to Xingyuan design, and he was as embarrassed and ufortable as he was now. However, all of this had nothing to do with Joes. Since she had chosen toe to star origin, she deserved it. After looking in the direction they left, Joes retracted her gaze. ¡°Zeyi, tell me, who are these two people?¡± She frowned slightly. Zheng Zeyi was silent for a moment. Without any hesitation, he told Qiao si everything that had happened overseas. He described everything objectively. Even so, Joes did not think that this so-called Jodie was a good person. He already knew that the other party had a fianc¨¦e, but he was still trying to get close to her. Wasn¡¯t this the typical green tea? Jossi held her forehead and said helplessly,¡±¡±My guess was right. When this woman reported to me about Miley, I already thought she was your rotten peach blossom.¡± It was just that her guess had been confirmed. Zheng ze was outstanding to begin with. Zhu Di was not the only one who had taken a fancy to him. There were many other people in the country as well. This did not mean that joesse would give up. The two of them were already together, and these rotten peach blossoms had to be extinguished. Before Zheng ze could say anything, Jossi continued,¡±¡±Then you must promise me one thing. No matter what this Zhu Di says, you must not see her.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s eyes were serious as she looked straight at Zheng Zeyi. Their eyes met, and Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened. He nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll listen to whatever you say. ¡± He had the image of a ve to his wife. Upon hearing his words, even joesse, who was still a little emotional earlier, had already returned to her original state. She could not help but chuckle. She seemed to realize that there were still some problems with what she had just said. She rubbed her chin with her fingers and thought for a moment. ¡°There¡¯s still a problem with the one just now. I can see her, but I have to be present.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi replied almost immediately, his deep eyes fixed on joesse. He could only see her in those eyes, as if she was the only person in the world. Joes¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she looked away slightly. However, she could not help but smile,¡±¡±Then it¡¯s a deal.¡± The two of them were in the office and the atmosphere was ambiguous. However, without Zhu Di and Ma Li, who were designed by Xing Yuan, it waspletely different. Under the astonished gazes of the entirepany, the two of them walked out of the main door. Zhu Di had also returned to his original appearance. He stomped his feet and red at the person beside him in dissatisfaction,¡±Ma Li, in that situation just now, why didn¡¯t you open your mouth to help me?¡± ¡°I didn ¡®t! Zhu Di, don¡¯t nder me!¡± Ma Li hurriedly waved his hand in rebuttal. However, his rebuttal was simply too weak in Zhu Di¡¯s eyes. Although it wasn¡¯t like he didn¡¯t help, Ma Li was also a management talent at mari, so it was necessary for him to be able to speak well. Ma Li seemed to have said a few words just now, but in reality, they didn¡¯t have much of an effect. At most, he just echoed a few words. ¡°It¡¯s best if you don ¡®t. ¡± Zhu Di was a little frustrated. After he finished speaking, he no longer bothered with Ma Li and headed straight for the hotel he was staying at. The hotel they were staying at was the biggest hotel in city H. It was also under the name of a partnerpany of the Zheng¡¯s group. Zhu Di had never specifically asked around about this, but he would asionally hear people in the hotel mention Zheng Zeyi¡¯s name. After she returned to the hotel, she was so angry that she leaned back on the sofa. She didn¡¯t even bear to drink the tea that was already poured on the table. Ma Li, who had been left behind, arrivedte and only entered the room a few minutester. He saw Zhu Di¡¯s face turn dark, and Ma Li, who rarely saw her like this, furrowed his brows. ¡°You don¡¯t like that Jossi?¡± After hearing Ma Li¡¯s words, Zhu Di¡¯s eyes squinted slightly, and a glint of hatred shed in his eyes,¡±¡±Of course I don ¡®t.¡± If she wanted to be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s woman, apart from him, Joes was the biggest obstacle. From the very beginning, Zhu Di had never ced her in his eyes, and it was still the same now. However, this person¡¯s existence was an unavoidable problem. ¡°Why don¡¯t we think of a way to teach that woman a lesson? This way, Zhu Di, you will be able to vent your anger. ¡± Ma Li¡¯s lips curled into a smile. But the words that came out of his mouth were extremely vicious. ¡°A lesson ... That¡¯s a good idea, but you don¡¯t have any ideas. After all, we¡¯re not familiar with the people and the ce in China, so we need to find someone.¡± Jodie got used to it very quickly and asked all the questions that he had in mind. As long as it did not concern Zheng Zeyi, Ma Li was still very calm. He pondered for a moment and said,¡±¡±There should be some gray areas in the country. Give me some time, Zhu Di, I¡¯ll go and investigate. If I have any results, I¡¯ll let you know. Once I¡¯ve contacted those people in the grey area, it¡¯ll be much easier to take down this woman. It¡¯ll be as easy as lifting a finger. ¡± Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Then let him treat

Noticing that Zhu Di¡¯s expression had eased up quite a bit, Ma Li also revealed a smile as he picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. Now, he finally knew what he had to say to please Zhu Di. To the current Jodie, her greatest enemy was Joes. As long as Joes was in a bad mood, she would be happy. Thinking up to this point, Ma Li lowered his eyes, concealing theplicated emotions in them.¡±When the timees, I¡¯ll personally tie that woman up and bring her to you. She¡¯s just a small character who can¡¯t cause any waves, so isn¡¯t it up to you to decide how to deal with her?¡± His tone was ttering, but he hid it very well. These words made Zhu Di very happy, and he couldn¡¯t help but nod his head in satisfaction,¡±¡±I like what you said. Find those people in the gray area as soon as possible. I don¡¯t want that woman to be smug for too long, you understand?¡± ¡°Zhu Di, just leave this to me.¡± Ma Liughed. The two of them looked at each other and revealed a smug smile, as well as an undisguisable viciousness. ¡°When the timees, I¡¯d like to see what that woman can still be proud of.¡± Zhu Di¡¯s eyes turned cold. She couldn¡¯t help but feel angry when she thought of what had happened today. Overseas, Zhu Di was the heiress of mari. No matter who she was, they would have to treat her with respect. ...... It wasn¡¯t that they were of a lower ss, but no one wanted to offend Zhu Di. That would mean that there was no way they could work with Minrui, and it would be a huge loss for many foreignpanies. In the end, when he arrived in China and went to Joes¡¯s star Yuan designpany, he realized that it was just a smallpany. Even the president of a smallpany dared to treat her like this. She was simply trampling on Zhu Di¡¯s dignity. She simply couldn¡¯t stand this kind of thing happening. In addition to Zheng Zeyi, Zhu Di¡¯s hatred for Joes was even more natural. He wanted to get rid of this woman who was in the way. However, Zhu Di did not think about the most important point, which was whether Zheng Zeyicked a business partner like them. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Zhu Di, I will definitely make you satisfied. ¡± Ma Li¡¯s tone was extremely certain, and he clearly had a bit of confidence. Judi nodded.¡±Then I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news. Remember to report to me at any time if there¡¯s any progress.¡± Seeing that she was acting like a superior, Ma Li didn¡¯t say anything and agreed,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. The two of them did not know what was going on at the hotel, nor were they interested in it. At this moment, she had just left the guest room with Zheng Zeyi and was walking to the public office on the second floor. Their arrival instantly attracted the attention of the crowd. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they looked at Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s tightly sped hands. As long as one wasn¡¯t a fool, they would probably understand what this meant. Lin ya, who was in the middle of drawing designs, also put down her brush, her eyes as big as copper bells. ¡°Lili, Lili! Did you see that? the president and President Zheng are holding hands!¡± Her tone was excited as she turned to Wang Li and told her about it. Hearing this, Wang Li hurriedly moved away and controlled the urge to roll her eyes. She said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not blind, of course I saw it. ¡± So many people in the office had seen it. She wasn¡¯t blind, but she also understood that Lin ya was indeed a little excited at this moment. ¡°Oh?¡± Lin ya blinked and said,¡±the president and President Zheng are really a perfect match. They¡¯re a perfect match.¡± Many people in the office were also sighing in their hearts. Seeing that the office had suddenly quieted down, Joes revealed a smile and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be nervous, everyone. I¡¯m here to announce something. ¡± After saying that, she tightened her grip on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand. A smile shed across Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes when he noticed this. His smile was like a spring breeze,pletely different from his usual cold and aloof self. Taking a deep breath, Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m together with President Zheng. ¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The moment these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. No one had expected this news toe so suddenly. It was truly unexpected. Lin ya, in particr, was so stunned that she couldn¡¯t even care about the design in front of her. ¡°Sisi and President Zheng ... Are together again.¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened at that thought. At the same time, the office burst into loud apuse, and many people eximed. It could be seen how surprised the employees were about the two of them being together. Lin ya shut her mouth. Her eyes were extremely sharp as she looked at Wang Li and said,¡±¡±Did you see that? I was right, there¡¯s something fishy!¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Li pouted.¡±¡±Come on, you don¡¯t have to care even if there¡¯s something fishy going on. Why do you care so much about sisi¡¯s matters?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand!¡± Lin ya suddenly became serious and analyzed the situation for Wang Li,¡±¡±If we knew, we could help sisi if there were any problems.¡± The truth was that he was too nosy and wanted to get close to Joes so that he could get first-hand information. After all, they had been colleagues for more than a year. Wang Li was very clear about Lin ya¡¯s bad nature. Not only Wang Li, even Jossi was clear about this. Joes took a look at the whispers and revealed a faint smile, saying,¡±¡±This matter will be officially announced at the kindness Association in a few days. When the timees, I¡¯ll treat everyone to a meal. You must not reject me. ¡± ¡°Pa pa pa!¡± In the next moment, a thunderous round of apuse rang out. ¡°How could we refuse the president¡¯s invitation to dinner?¡± someone jeered.¡±This is a joyous asion.¡± ¡°Yeah, the president is no longer single!¡± ¡°I must give the president a toast during this meal.¡± Zheng ze raised his brows as he watched the atmosphere in the office be more and more lively. Without any hesitation, he reached out and pulled Qiao si into his arms. He looked at the crowd and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not your president¡¯s treat, it¡¯s mine. ¡± It was as if one could feel the ambiguous atmosphere in the air. Seeing this scene, everyone was instantly silenced. Many girls had aunty smiles on their faces as they looked at the two embracing. Even though Joes was a little helpless, she did not break free from his embrace in front of everyone. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Since your President Zheng has said so, then let him treat us.¡± This matter was also discussed with Zheng ze in the guest room earlier. They couldn¡¯t hide the fact that they were together forever. Moreover, in the eyes of old master Zheng, the two of them were already engaged. Joes was no longer as resistant to the idea of disclosing their rtionship as before. Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Nothing major

Otherwise, the current scene would not have happened. After saying that, Joes seemed to have realized something and added,¡±¡±It¡¯s good that you know about this now. I¡¯ll officially announce it at the charity Association. If it¡¯s possible, don¡¯t spread it through the grapevine, understand?¡± ¡°Understood, President!¡± Everyone said in unison. Joesse nodded in satisfaction and nced at Zheng Zeyi, who was beside her.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go, President Zheng. You should go back to thepany. ¡± Zheng Zeyi wanted to reject her, but when he saw his wife¡¯s threatening expression, he could only nod helplessly and say,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± After that, the two of them left the public office, leaving the employees who were still fantasizing about the matter. Lin ya was extremely excited and kept harping on this matter, causing Wang Li¡¯s ears to almost turn into calluses. After the announcement, Zheng Zeyi did not stay for long at star Yuan design. He left under Qiao SI¡¯s ¡°reluctant¡± gaze. In the blink of an eye, it was night. Joesse packed her things and went home. Thepany¡¯s employees had also gotten off work and were ready to go home to rest. What she didn¡¯t expect was that another unexpected thing would happen. At the same time, at the Qiao family¡¯s residence. ...... Ever since Zhao Hai ¡®er exposed Qiao Lei¡¯s debt of 500000 Yuan, the entire Qiao family had changed. Liu Yun even had to deduct the money for her groceries, let alone a month¡¯s sry. Most of it was in Qiao Feng¡¯s hands. In order to pay off his debt, Qiao Feng had thought of many ways, even borrowing money from some old friends. However, everyone knew the Qiao family¡¯s situation. No one was willing to lend Qiao Feng money. Even if they did, the amount would not exceed 5000. It was a form of defense. It was because of the debt that Qiao Feng¡¯s hair had turned white from worry, but Qiao Lei still stayed at home and looked like he had nothing to do. If he wasn¡¯t a member of the Qiao family, Qiao Feng would have chased this unfilial son out. In the end, Qiao Feng also gave an ultimatum. Within two days, Zhao Hai ¡®er had to find a job and hand over her sry. If she didn¡¯t hand it over, she couldn¡¯t continue to stay in the Qiao family just to pay back Qiao Lei¡¯s money. That night, there was not a single star in the night sky, and the night breeze was cold. But Zhao Hai ¡®er did not care about that. She put on a coat to cover the clothes under her coat and put all her low-quality cosmetics into her bag. After she had prepared everything, she was ready to leave the Qiao family. Just as he reached the main entrance, he was seen by Liu Yun, who hade out to use the toilet. She couldn¡¯t help but be surprised,¡±Hai ¡®er, where are you going?¡± Hearing Liu Yun¡¯s familiar voice, Zhao Hai ¡®er stopped in her tracks. She turned around and gave her a smile.¡±Mom, why are you up?¡± Liu Yun was not affected by Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s change of topic. She sized her up and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s sote, what are you going to do dressed like this?¡± ¡°I ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was anxious, but she pretended to be calm. After organizing her words, she said,¡±¡±Mom, I can¡¯t sleep. I want to go out and get some fresh air.¡± After saying that, she sighed deeply to express her helplessness. Liu Yun took another look at her, but she did not see any luggage or anything of the sort, so she gave up.¡±If you want to go out, you can go out by yourself. By the way, your dad is really angry. If you can¡¯t find a job by tomorrow, you¡¯ll have to work at the restaurant I found, do you hear me?¡± ¡°...I heard it.¡± Although she was extremely unwilling, at this point, Zhao Hai ¡®er had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, she already had an idea in her heart. She couldn¡¯t let the Qiao family control her life. Qiao Feng would only treat Qiao Lei as his own son, and Zhao Hai ¡®er did not want to lose her sry. As if she could see Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s unwillingness, Liu Yun tried to persuade her,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, it can¡¯t be helped. Your brother owes me five hundred thousand Yuan. We have to pay off the 500000 Yuan first. Boss long and his men are not kind people. Who knows what crazy things they will do?¡± Thinking back to the time when boss long and his men were about to chop off Qiao Lei¡¯s fingers, Liu Yun couldn¡¯t help but shiver. She didn¡¯t dare to deal with that kind of situation. Zhao Hai ¡®er pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±I know, mom. I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°This is more like it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when your brother is sessful in the future, he¡¯ll definitely help you. ¡± You can go now, I¡¯m going back to sleep. ¡± Liu Yun yawned and did not continue the conversation with Zhao Hai ¡®er. She turned around and returned to her room. But her words made Zhao Hai ¡®er sneer. Zhao Hai ¡®er had never believed that Qiao Lei, who was a useless person, would have any future. Including the 300000 from before, Qiao Lei owed a total of 800000 Yuan! This was enough to buy a big house, but Qiao Lei gave it to the casino without even saying a word. Before she left, Zhao Hai ¡®er took a long look at Qiao Lei¡¯s room and then stepped out of the house. The direction she was heading to was the night club in city H. That was Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s target for the night. ¡­¡­¡­ Blue sky Apartment. After returning to the apartment for dinner, Joes sat on the sofa and rested for a while. After that, he prepared the hot water in the bathroom and prepared to take a hot bath to rx. Looking at the hot water, an idea came to Joes ¡®mind. She threw in some of the natural rose petals that she had just bought. Then, he took off his bathrobe and entered the bathtub. A warm feeling enveloped joesse. She leaned against the edge and was about to y the television when her phone suddenly rang. Joes raised her eyebrows slightly. She picked up her phone and saw detective Wen¡¯s name. Detective Wen? Did something happen to the Qiao family again? Joes had entrusted detective Wen with full authority to investigate the Qiao family. If anything were to happen, detective Wen would inform Joes immediately, just like what was happening now. At the thought of this, joesse did not hesitate and picked up the phone, asking,¡±¡±Detective Wen, did something happen?¡± The other end of the phone was silent for a while. A momentter, detective Wen¡¯s familiar voice was heard,¡±¡±Something did happen, but it¡¯s not a big deal. But I think we should still inform miss Qiao. ¡± Upon hearing this, even joesse was a little curious. After all, detective Wen would not usually say such things. ¡°Detective Wen,¡± she asked curiously,¡±what happened? is it about Qiao Lei?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not Qiao Lei,¡± Chapter 421

Chapter 421: I just want to find apanion

Detective Wen immediately gave an answer,¡±¡±It¡¯s about Zhao Hai ¡®er. She went out tonight, right now.¡± Go out? Upon hearing this, Joes furrowed her brows slightly. It was already sote. Why did Zhao Hai ¡®er suddenly leave the Qiao family? or did she have some unknown n? Many thoughts shed through her mind, but they were all denied by Joes. She felt that none of them were true. Detective Wen had reported every detail of the Qiao family¡¯s recent happenings to joesse, so she was also aware of theplicated rtionships in the Qiao family. Zhao Hai ¡®er ... Was actually thinking of leaving. ¡°You don¡¯t have to guess,¡± detective Wen continued.¡±Zhao Hai ¡®er is not leaving the Qiao family. She¡¯s going to the biggest nightclub in city H.¡± ¡°A nightclub?¡± Instantly, Joes¡¯s pupils shrank. She had not thought of this possibility earlier. Now that detective Wen had exined it, Joes naturally knew everything, including Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s purpose for going to the nightclub. This kind of thing, it was easy to understand. Joes squinted her eyes and a strange glint shed across her eyes as she said,¡±¡±I understand, detective Wen. You can keep an eye on Zhao Hai ¡®er. ...... There¡¯s no need to alert the enemy. If there¡¯s anything I need to do, I¡¯ll let you know at any time. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Detective Wen agreed. Then, he told her about Qiao Feng¡¯s recent abnormality. After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone. Putting her phone aside, Jossi leaned against the bathtub and looked at the mist in the bathroom, her eyes bright. She had a feeling that the Qiao family would fall apart without her doing anything. ¡­¡­¡­ Zhao Hai ¡®er did not expect that the news of her going to the nightclub had already been reported to joesse by detective Wen. She was hiding in an alley next to the nightclub and taking off her coat. Under the coat was a mesmerizing red dress that entuated her figure. Zhao Hai ¡®er also took out her makeup from her bag and studied it in front of the mirror. After a long time, she put away all the cosmetics. ¡°This time, I can only seed. I can¡¯t fail!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er warned herself in her heart. She hid her coat and makeup in a corner of the alley. After he really hooked up with a rich man, these things would no longer matter, but now was not the time. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s makeup wasn¡¯t too thick. Although her makeup was of poor quality, she had good skills. After she confirmed that there was no problem, she swayed her hips and walked to the entrance of the nightclub. There were many peopleing and going at the entrance of the nightclub, and many men were leaving or entering with their femalepanions. Zhao Hai ¡®er, a beautiful single woman, instantly attracted the attention of many men. ¡°There¡¯s a girl over there, do you see her?¡± One of the men¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw her, and he rubbed his palms together in a perverted manner. The man beside him immediately became excited and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go and take a look. We can¡¯t miss a girl who¡¯s alone. ¡± The group of people walked toward Zhao Hai ¡®er, and she did not notice them at all. Just as Shi Guang was about to enter the nightclub, Zhao Hai ¡®er was stopped by the group of men. Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned when she saw the men in in clothes. She took a step back and said,¡±¡±What are you guys doing?¡± ¡°What are we going to do? Little girl, how could you ask such a question? Isn¡¯t this asking the obvious?¡± One of the menughed evilly. The others alsoughed out loud. Seeing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er knew that the person she had met wasn¡¯t someone easy to deal with. She swallowed and said,¡±¡±Be careful, I have a malepanion.¡± ¡°Yo!¡± The man¡¯s eyes widened as he whistled.¡±¡±Where¡¯s your malepanion? Howe I didn¡¯t see it?¡± ¡°Over there!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pointed in a direction, and all the men looked in that direction. She took the opportunity to sneak into the nightclub. When the men realized what she was doing, she was already gone. ¡°This stinky woman, she¡¯s quite scheming!¡± The man cursed, his eyes filled with anger. These people were not going to let Zhao Hai ¡®er go. ¡°Go! Let¡¯s go in and find her. I don¡¯t believe that that stinky woman can run far in such a short time!¡± The man¡¯s face was very gloomy, and he called his brothers into the nightclub. Zhao Hai ¡®er was already in the hall. The hall of a nightclub was simr to a bar. There were many women with heavy makeup gathered in the hall, and it was noisy. Along with the background music in the hall, it was so loud that people¡¯s eardrums hurt. Zhao Hai ¡®er walked around for a while and quickly got used to the environment. She smiled. ¡°I need to find someone.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er threw the men to the back of her mind. Greed shed in her eyes. This time, she had to hook up with a rich man in the nightclub. This was the only way to get arge amount of money without any effort and not need to live under the Qiao family¡¯s roof. She would never allow her sry to be handed over. The group of men had also entered the nightclub, and they were looking for Zhao Hai ¡®er in the hall. However, there were too many people in the hall, so they could only try their best to look through the crowd. Zhao Hai ¡®er, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on. As she strolled around the nightclub, she kept her eyes on the men walking around. Zhao Hai ¡®er would take a second look at anyone who was in a suit and looked like an elite or rich person. Finally, she chose a target. A slightly chubby man was sitting in front of the bar, drinking wine. He looked ordinary, but he was not ugly. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s main goal was to see a few gold chains and a gold watch on the man. Such an essory was enough to make Zhao Hai ¡®er think that he was a rich man. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± After Zhao Hai ¡®er made her decision, she lowered her eyes to hide the smile on her face and walked toward the bar. The man was drinking, and when he saw Zhao Hai ¡®er, he ced his ss on the bar counter. At the same time, he tidied his shirt out of habit and smiled politely. Zhao Hai ¡®er walked to his side and looked him up and down. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Hello, Sir.¡± ¡°Miss, you¡¯re looking for me ... Is there something you need?¡± The man raised his eyebrows, picked up the wine ss, and gently swirled it, his expression unfathomable. Zhao Hai ¡®er tucked her hair behind her ears and leaned forward, saying,¡±¡±It¡¯s just that I¡¯m a little bored by myself, so I want to find apanion. ¡± Chapter 422

Chapter 422: A little fame

¡°Find apanion?¡± The smile on the man¡¯s lips was intriguing, and even the wine in his mouth had lost its taste. After all, no one would reject a woman who came to their door, let alone him. Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded and purposely lowered her head to expose her chest to the man.¡±¡±How should I address you, Sir?¡± ¡°Just call me Qian Yu, what about you?¡± The man took a sip of his wine, but he did not hide his gaze. He stared at Zhao Hai ¡®er. ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Hai ¡®er. ¡± After greeting each other, the two of them sat down near the bar and started chatting. As for Qian Yu, he had also developed some interest in the woman in front of him, including interest in bed. ¡°I¡¯m looking for ady. Are you interested in having a good chat with me in a quiet ce?¡± Qian Yu didn¡¯t try to hide it. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s attitude was obviously to seduce his woman. Qian Yu was rich, so he didn¡¯t need to be polite. He had achieved his goal! Zhao Hai ¡®er was happy, but she didn¡¯t show it. She nodded shyly and said,¡±¡±Alright.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll take you out.¡± After that, Qian Yu stood up and ced his hand on Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s shoulder. ...... Moreover, his hands were restless, lighting fires everywhere. Zhao Hai ¡®er lowered her head, acting as if nothing had happened. Shey in Qian Yu¡¯s arms. At this moment, something happened. ¡°Big brother, that stinky woman is here!¡± Among the crowd, a man noticed Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s presence. He quickly led the others and rushed over. A group of well-built men blocked Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qian Yu¡¯s way. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face froze when she saw the group of people. She could not help but curse in her heart. Why did this group of peoplee over? this is really a bad thing! ¡°These people are ...¡± Qian Yu also frowned. Before anyone could react, the man who had just found the person stood at the front of the line and said,¡±¡±Stinky woman, you¡¯re really cheap! It¡¯s only been such a short time, and you¡¯ve already found a man inside!¡± The man¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked away, feeling embarrassed. ¡°Wait,¡± Just as the man was about to continue, the leader behind him stopped him and pulled the man behind him. ¡°Big brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing his puzzled expression, the leader of the men red at him and scolded,¡±¡±You trash, don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t even recognize President Qian?¡± Boss Qian ... The man was stunned, and everyone in the team looked at Qian Yu in a daze. Even Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heart skipped a beat. What followed was wild joy. This also meant that the man she had found might be very powerful. Otherwise, why would this group of people retreat? After hearing what the men said, Qian Yuughed. Although he looked ordinary, he was still in a high position and had an imposing aura. He tidied his suit and asked,¡±¡±What, you know me?¡± After saying that, the leading man hurriedly took a few steps forward and showed a ttering smile.¡±¡±Of course I do. Boss Qian is quite famous in this area.¡± ¡°Since we know each other ...¡± Qian Yu paused and red at the man.¡±¡±You still dare to disturb me here?¡± His tone was so sharp that the leading man and the team behind him couldn¡¯t help but be shocked and feel a little scared. The leader of the men wanted to beat up the underling who had just spoken arrogantly. He could not believe that he had said such words. If she was really an ordinary person, he would not pursue the matter. But this was Qian Yu, a very famous person in this area, and his family was also rich. He couldn¡¯t afford to offend him. Thinking of this, the leader gritted his teeth and said,¡±¡±President Qian, please show mercy. We were in the wrong in this matter. We didn¡¯t expect her to be your woman, so we¡¯re here to apologize to you!¡± After that, everyone apologized to Qian Yu. Their faces were filled with fear, which showed how powerful Qian Yu was in this area. Since they were already sitting here, Qian Yu didn¡¯t intend to pursue it any further. Instead, he looked at the entrance of the nightclub and said,¡±¡±Alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, then get lost.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. I wish you a good time, President Qian.¡± The leader of the men seemed to have heard the sound of nature. After hearing this, he quickly left the nightclub with his little brother. Without stopping, Zhao Hai ¡®er watched as Pompey left, and a look of relief shed in her eyes. He held Qian Yu¡¯s hand even tighter. The power of the man beside her was definitely not simple. She had to make good use of such a person. If she was lucky, she might be able to soar to the sky and be a richdy. Zhao Hai ¡®er was still thinking too simply. ¡°The people who are in the way have left. I¡¯ll take you to the hotel.¡± Qian Yu said without any trace of politeness. Compared to just now, she didn¡¯t hide anything and directly told him about the hotel. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t notice this detail. She smiled shyly and said,¡±¡±Alright, brother Qian, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Qian Yu raised his brows and hugged Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s waist. The two left the nightclub and headed to a nearby hotel. This piece of news was also urately reported to joesse by detective Wen. ¡­¡­¡­ F * ck! Looking at detective Wen¡¯s message, joesse was shocked beyond words. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s actions were much faster than she had expected. It had only been less than ten minutes since they entered the nightclub. However, in such a short time, Zhao Hai ¡®er had managed to hook up with a man, and he did not seem to be an ordinary person. Joes was confused. It was not that she looked down on Zhao Hai ¡®er, but that man seemed to have some background. Logically speaking, this kind of man shouldn¡¯t be wanted by any woman who came to his door. However, this person ... Was an exception. At the thought of this, Joes asked detective Wen on the other end of the phone,¡±¡±Detective Wen, do you know who the man Zhao Hai ¡®er is with is?¡± Joes still ced great importance on this point. She did not want Zhao Hai ¡®er to hook up with a man of status after all that hard work. If all the ns were to be disrupted, the Qiao family would have a chance to turn things around. Detective Wenughed when he heard that. Fortunately, he had already guessed that Joes would ask this question, so he had made preparations in advance. ¡°I¡¯ve investigated that man. His family is indeed rich, but they¡¯re not very powerful, not evenparable to miss Qiao. The main reason why those hooligans are afraid of him is because he had been in the underworld for a while and has a little fame. ¡± After hearing detective Wen¡¯s words, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it was not the kind of power she had imagined. Chapter 423

Chapter 423: I have a mission for you

She could deal with the rest. At the thought of this, Joes opened her mouth,¡±¡±Then, detective Wen, continue to pay attention to the things over there. If there is anything wrong, let me know immediately. As for the reward, I¡¯ll transfer it to you tomorrow, is that okay?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Detective Wen nodded. After chatting for a while, Joes hung up the phone and put Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s matter to the back of her mind. The most important thing at the moment was not the Qiao family¡¯s Affairs, but thepany¡¯s Affairs. The shop that Zheng Zeyi had gifted her was almost done with its renovation. She had to go there to take a look the next day. In addition, thepany¡¯s leaked design drawings had all been modified and made into jewelry. Joes had already seen the sample and it was perfect. She had to do the best for the opening of the store. ¡°Go to sleep first and get some rest.¡± Joes secretly encouraged herself. After lying on the bed and resting, all the fatigue in her body surged up. Very quickly, she fell into a deep sleep. At this time, in a certain hotel, a man and a woman were having sex for the whole night. ...... ¡­¡­¡­ The next day. Joes woke up very early. After leaving thepany¡¯s matters to Miley to handle, she went to the shop alone. Although it was a chain store, she didn¡¯t have such a big goal yet. Moreover, there were not many high-quality designs in thepany, so joesse was prepared to open only one shop. After this shop stabilized, he would open other shops. Five minutester, Joes arrived at the shop. The shop was huge and in a good location. It was located in the most prosperous area of city H. The decorations were carefully selected by Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi. When Qiao sisi arrived, the renovation staff had just left, and the only one left was the store manager that Zheng Zeyi had sent. The store manager¡¯s eyes brightened when he saw who it was. He quickly walked over and said respectfully,¡±¡±You must be President Qiao?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes stopped in her tracks. She sized up the store manager and had an idea of what was going on. She nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I am. Were you sent by Zeyi?¡± ¡°President Qiao is right. President Zheng sent me here. You can call me Li Chang.¡± The manager was very respectful. If he did not have the qualifications and ability, Zheng Zeyi would not have asked him toe and help. Since he was already here, Joes could not possibly refuse him, so she smiled and said,¡±¡±Wee to work in star essence.¡± ¡°Thank you, President Qiao.¡± The store manager also smiled. Unlike when they had just met, the two of them seemed to be more familiar with each other. Joes scanned the shop and asked,¡±¡±Manager li, if you don¡¯t mind, can you show me around the shop?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Li Chang was very forthright and immediately agreed. After that, he brought Joes around the shop and told her some things that she did not know. The shop was divided into two floors. The decorations were also very high-end and elegant, simple but notcking in the air of luxury. One look and you could tell that it was a high-end ce. Joesse was extremely satisfied with this. She was thinking that she would return Zheng Zeyi a valuable gift one day. To her, this shop was the best and most expensive thing she had. The counter had also been prepared. It was made of extremely hard ss to prevent anyone from having any disloyal thoughts. A key was needed to open the cab and take out the jewelry inside. Joes stood in the middle of the hall and could even see the cash register in the middle of the hall. There were also a fewrge words written in mboyant calligraphy. Xuanji Star Jewelry. She couldn¡¯t help but smile sweetly. This brand had put her in a good mood for the day. After introducing the general structure of the shop, Li Chang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, there are many other jewelry stores around our shop. Thepetition is quite fierce, and our shop hasn¡¯t opened for business yet. I think ... I can go and find out some basic information about other shops. ¡± After saying that, Li Chang¡¯s expression became a little more serious. He was telling the truth.h city was the most prosperous city, and there were many shops on this Street. There was definitely more than one jewelry store. If he wanted to obtain good benefits at the first opportunity, he would have to put in a lot of effort. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s better to ask around if possible, but the things in the store are more important. Don¡¯t worry about it, manager li. I¡¯ll take care of the staff recruitment in the store. ¡± In terms of information gathering, Joes had her own candidates. Since she said so, Li Chang nodded and agreed,¡±¡±I understand, President Qiao.¡± The store was actually close to opening, and most of the things that needed to be prepared had been prepared. Joes had also chosen a time. After the charity event jointly organized by Hengyuan investment and Zheng¡¯s group was over, the shop could officially open. At that time, his reputation would be even greater than it was now. Coupled with thepany¡¯s publicity methods, there would be no problem if there were no idents. But it didn¡¯t prevent ... idents from happening. Qiao si lowered her gaze and nced at Li Chang, who was beside her, and asked,¡±Manager li, what do you think about the vip system in the store?¡± The vip system was almost a necessary system in a jewelry store. After all, the jewelry in the store that Joes had opened would not be cheap. Of course ... There would bemoner styles. However, this did not mean that all jewelry was the same. If there were ordinary ones, there would naturally be top-quality ones. A good vip system could better retain the customers in the store. After hearing joesse¡¯s words, Li Chang fell into deep thought and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, I¡¯ve thought about this before. A good vip system is essential. I¡¯ve studied the system of other jewelry stores, and they¡¯re all based on points. It¡¯s also the most popr system. ¡± Although this method was rather mediocre, it won in that it was not outstanding, and there was no possibility of being unconventional or having the consequences of failure. ¡°You¡¯re right. The point system is the best way, but manager Li, I have a task for you.¡± Joes looked at Li Chang with a smile. ¡°What mission?¡± Li Chang asked, puzzled. Very quickly, Joes gave an answer. She wanted Li Chang to set up a brand new vip system that was specially designed by Xingyuan. This matter was not easy. If he wanted to set up the system before the opening, it would be more difficult than he had imagined. However, since Joes had chosen to open for business, it could not be the same as the other shops. At the very least, there was something new. Xing Yuan¡¯s jewelry design was not very famous, so joesse was prepared to start with the membership system. Li Chang was someone sent by Zheng Zeyu, so his abilities were definitely extraordinary. He had no problem managing the store, so it could be considered as letting him try out his skills. Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Let¡¯s talk about itter

After listening to Joes¡¯s words, Li Chang¡¯s expression was still a little doubtful, but he had a general idea of the direction. ¡°I understand, President Qiao,¡± he said after some thought.¡±Leave this to me. I¡¯ll give you an answer as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave it to you then.¡± Joesughed. After looking around the shop for a while longer, she prepared to leave and return to thepany. She still had to find time to bring the jewelry to the warehouse here in case she was too busy when she was ready to open for business. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go first. I¡¯ll ask Miley to organize some documents and send them to you for the things you need to pay attention to.¡± Joes took a look at the time, and after bidding farewell to Li Chang, she drove back to thepany. At this moment, a couple in a hotel finally woke up. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s clothes were in a mess on the floor. Her legs were still weak when she woke up, but she could not help but smile shyly. Beside her was Qian Yu, who had already taken a shower and was dressed neatly. ¡°Brother Qian, you¡¯re leaving?¡± Seeing Qian Yu fixing his tie, Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but purse her lips, feeling a little flustered. Hearing her words, Qian Yu temporarily stopped what he was doing and raised his eyebrows,¡±¡±There¡¯s something I need to deal with at thepany, I have to go out first. ¡± ...... ¡°Then, I ...¡± Before Zhao Hai ¡®er could finish her sentence, Qian Yu interrupted her,¡±¡±Let¡¯s talk about it after I¡¯m done. I¡¯ll look for you next time. ¡± After that, his eyes fell on Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s body, which was wrapped in the nket. Zhao Hai ¡®er lowered her head and blushed. After looking at himself in the mirror and making sure that he was dressed, Qian Yu didn¡¯t stay any longer and left a check on the table. ¡°There¡¯s 100000 Yuan in here. Take it and spend it first. I¡¯ll look for you again when I have time next time. Remember to dress up.¡± Qian Yu raised his eyebrows. ¡°Alright, brother Qian, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes were filled with love. She only picked up the check after she saw Qian Yu off. Looking at the 100000 Yuan on the card, he couldn¡¯t help but smile, and a hint of greed shed in his eyes. Sure enough! If she had known that she could get so much money by seducing rich people, she would not have wasted so much time at home. Not only did he get money, he also ... Zhao Hai ¡®er was still reminiscing about the night before. She put on her crumpled clothes and left the hotel with the 100000 Yuan. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not return to the Qiao family immediately. Instead, she went to a bank and withdrew 30000 Yuan. Then, she went home with the money. They were having lunch when they arrived at the Qiao family¡¯s residence. It was not a sumptuous meal. There were only two dishes, a te of red braised meat and a te of green vegetables. That being said, the te of red braised meat didn¡¯t have much meat at all. As soon as it was served, it was eaten clean by Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei. Even Liu Yun had only eaten two pieces of meat, and she still felt that she had not had enough. Seeing the empty te, Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned and said,¡±¡±Mom, dad, I¡¯m back.¡± ¡°Why did youe back sote? Where did you go yesterday?¡± Liu Yun cast an inquisitive look at him. Zhao Hai ¡®er subconsciously avoided Liu Yun¡¯s gaze and said,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t go anywhere. I fell asleep while sitting outside. Then, he went to borrow money from a friend. ¡± ¡°Borrow money?¡± Her two words instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention, including Qiao Lei, who immediately put down his chopsticks. ¡°Who did you borrow money from? how much did you borrow?¡± Qiao Feng frowned. Are you here to help Lei pay off his debt?¡± During this period, he did not ask her if she was hungry or if she wanted to eat. He was most concerned about the money. Zhao Hai ¡®er had already guessed this, so she took out the 30000 Yuan from her bag. ¡°I borrowed this, it¡¯s a total of 30000 Yuan.¡± With the red notes in front of them, the three of them couldn¡¯t care about anything else and quickly got up. Qiao Feng was the fastest. He picked up the 30000 Yuan on the table, his eyes shining like light bulbs. Liu Yun could only retract her hand in embarrassment as she missed. The only person who was not in a hurry was probably Qiao Lei. Even if Qiao Feng took the money, he had to help him pay back the 500000 Yuan. This mere thirty thousand Yuan was like a drop in the bucket. After taking the 30000 Yuan, although he was satisfied, Qiao Feng did not show it on his face. He asked,¡±¡±Why is it only 30000 Yuan? and where did you get a friend from in city h?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, hai ¡®er. Why didn¡¯t you mention this to us? which friend is it?¡± Liu Yun asked anxiously. If joesse was here, she would be able to confirm that Zhao Hai ¡®er would only need to tell her the name and address of the person. Qiao Feng and Liu Yun would definitely look for someone to borrow more money to relieve the pressure on their family. As for what happened to Zhao Hai ¡®er, they didn¡¯t care. However, this family was about the same. Everyone had the same temperament, and no one was worthy of sympathy. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know which friend she is. Anyway, she lent me 30000 Yuan. Keep it for our family.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said. She wasn¡¯t going to take out the remaining seventy thousand Yuan. ¡°This ...¡± Before they could react, Zhao Hai ¡®er entered the room, leaving Qiao Feng and the others looking at each other. ¡°Hai ¡®er, does she have friends in city h?¡± Liu Yun still couldn¡¯t believe it. Not only him, but even Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei had the same thought. Qiao Lei pursed his lips.¡±Who knows? anyway, we just have to get the money back. Thirty thousand Yuan is enough for our family to use for a while.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Liu Yun nodded her head slightly. However, she was reluctant to spend any money she had with the five hundred thousand Yuan debt on her head. She looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s tightly shut door, her eyes full of curiosity. Perhaps ... He could even get more money from Zhao Hai ¡®er and help Qiao Lei pay off his debt. Liu Yun and Qiao Feng secretly looked at each other. They had reached a consensus, and Qiao Lei naturally did not object. However, he couldn¡¯t rush this matter. If he angered Zhao Hai ¡®er and she didn¡¯t pay, it wouldn¡¯t be good. ¡­¡­¡­ A few more days passed. There were only two days left until the kindness Association. Star Yuan design. Joes was in the office. She had not been idle for the past few days. She had sent all the jewelry that thepany hadpleted to the store¡¯s warehouse. With Li Chang¡¯s presence at the shop, there were many things that Joes did not have to worry about, and it was a lot easier. The only thing he did not take was the jewelry from the ¡°deep sea¡± series. As the shop¡¯s treasure, Joes did not choose to store it in the warehouse before opening for business. He really didn¡¯t feel too safe, so he decided to wait for the future. Chapter 425 - The meaning of not telling you

Chapter 425: The meaning of not telling you

After taking a nce at the cab that stored the ¡°deep sea¡± series of jewelry, joesse looked away. ¡°Buzz.¡± Upon hearing the vibration, Joes raised her brows. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Chen Anna. Anna Chen asked,¡±sisi, do you want toe out for dinner tonight?¡± My boyfriend ising too. ¡± ¡°Your boyfriend?¡± What was going on? Joes widened her eyes in disbelief. How long had it been? he had already be her boyfriend? Recalling thest time she had a chat with Anna Chen, the corner of Joes ¡®mouth twitched. The progress was quite fast. But ... Chen Anna had only told her about this now? Joesse could not take this question any longer and immediately sent a text message over. ¡°You¡¯re only telling me now that you have a boyfriend? Anna, that¡¯s not very kind of you.¡± The two of them were extremely close best friends. Logically speaking, no matter what happened, they should have reported it. However, Joes herself clearly did not manage to do that. The only difference was that she did not feel guilty at all. ...... Less than a minute after he sent the message, he received a reply from his friend. Joes picked up her phone and saw that Anna Chen had sent a crying emoji with a pitiful message. Chen Anna: ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to not tell you. We just got together today. Come to the Royal restaurant¡¯s room 001 quickly. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± I¡¯ll tell you the whole story when youe over. ¡± When she saw the message, Joes¡¯s brows rxed a little. Without hesitation, she typed an ¡°okay¡± and kept her phone. Since Chen Anna had said so, she naturally had to go and take a look. After tidying up the documents on her desk, Joes left the office and happened to see Millie standing outside. ¡°Hello, President.¡± She revealed a sweet smile. Upon seeing this, Joes smiled at her.¡±¡±Help me look after thepany. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President. Leave it to me.¡± Millie said confidently. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she said,¡±¡±President, manager li just told me that the renovation for the lower floors has beenpleted. The rest will take a little more time, at most a dozen days. It won¡¯t be too long. ¡± Upon hearing that, joesse subconsciously looked upstairs. He had indeed moved much faster than she had expected. At the thought of this, Joes nodded her head in satisfaction.¡±Okay, after the renovation is done, let the finance department give the workers bonuses.¡± ¡°Understood, President.¡± After giving her instructions, Jossi did not stay in thepany any longer and took the elevator down. After she got in the car, she drove towards the Royal Restaurant. It wasn¡¯t far to begin with, and they were driving, so the car stopped in front of the Royal Restaurant in just a few minutes. Looking at the luxurious restaurant outside the window, Joes¡¯s lips curled into a helpless smile. Chen Anna chose this ce. She didn¡¯t know how distressed she would be when she paid the bill. ¡°Give Zeyi a call first.¡± Qiao si picked up her cell phone and dialed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s number. However, the man on the other end picked up the call after a while. ¡°Sisi.¡± A deep and maic voice rang in her ears. After she finished her sentence, Joes choked. After she regained her senses, she chuckled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not in thepany now. I¡¯m in a restaurant. Do you have time tonight? let¡¯s go out for a walk?¡± For some reason, joesse¡¯s original intention was to tell Zheng Zeyi about her lunch with Chen Anna. But in the end, it had a different meaning. After being together for so long, Qiao si had an idea to go out with Zheng ze alone. Zheng Zeyi seemed to have sensed Qiao sisi¡¯s thoughts as well, and the corners of his lips curled into a charming smile. However, she couldn¡¯t see it through the screen. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi answered without hesitation. Upon hearing this, joesse immediately broke into a smile and said,¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll go to yourpany to find you tonight.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Even though they were in different ces, they could still feel the ambiguous atmosphere at this moment. Joesse¡¯s face was slightly red. After greeting Zheng ze, she hung up the call and put her phone back into her pocket. However, she was thinking about where she should go with Zheng Zeyi if they were really going out at night. ¡°Bang!¡± After closing the car door, Joes temporarily suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart and walked towards the Royal Restaurant. After entering, he saw that there were many people in the main hall. It was clear that the business of this restaurant was still very good. Even if the price was a little high, there was nothing to be picky about, whether it was the environment or the taste of the food. Joes strolled along the corridor for a while. After finding room 001, she pushed the door open and entered. In the room, the lights were bright and there was a soft sofa beside the table in the middle. At this moment ... There was a person sitting on it. It was Chen Anna. She had also put in a lot of effort to dress up for today¡¯s dinner. She was wearing a green dress that wrapped around her waist, and her makeup was exquisite. It caused one¡¯s eyes to light up, and one wouldn¡¯t feel any difort. Chen Anna didn¡¯t like heavy makeup, but she knew that light makeup could make her look more attractive. After all, she was a fashion designer, so she had a clear understanding of fashion. Seeing the person, Chen Anna¡¯s anxious heart finally rxed. She let out a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to wee the person in,¡±¡±Sisi, sit down. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡± Joes did not stand on ceremony with her and found a seat on the left. A table full of dishes had been ordered. It looked like a lot, but the amount was actually quite small. Chen Anna had specifically instructed that there were only three people to eat, so there was no need to waste so many dishes. After taking her seat, Joes¡¯s gaze was fixed on Chen Anna. She went straight to the point,¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t change the subject. Tell me, what¡¯s going on? How did you and ye chen get together all of a sudden? how much more is there that I don¡¯t know about?¡± Joes pretended to be fierce, as if she would be furious if Chen Anna did not say anything. Chen Anna curled her lips and controlled her urge to roll her eyes.¡±¡±Can¡¯t you speak normally?¡± ¡°Alright, but you have to tell me everything.¡± Joes had a non-negotiable look. After she said that, Chen Anna raised her eyebrows. She was not in a hurry to say it, but poured her a ss of water. Joes took the water and took a sip, not showing any signs of letting her best friend off. After a moment, Chen Anna helplessly said,¡±Sisi, it¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t want to tell you.¡± Chapter 426 - As expected, a third wheel

Chapter 426: As expected, a third wheel

¡°I know. I¡¯m just curious.¡± Joesughed. She was indeed very curious about this matter. If she didn¡¯t have any experience in love, Chen Anna wasn¡¯t any better. She was almost single since birth. How ye chen had managed to take down Chen Anna had be the most puzzling thing for Qiao si. Chen Anna cleared her throat and exined,¡±¡±Alright, since you¡¯re so curious, I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Very quickly, Anna Chen told everything to Joes. It turned out that ye chen had been pursuing Chen Anna all this time. However, he did not say it out loud and Chen Anna was embarrassed to mention it. It would be the most embarrassing thing if he did not have the intention to do so. Anna Chen had mentioned it to Joes before, but it had not been confirmed yet. It was only this morning that they finally confirmed their rtionship. ¡°This morning ... What exactly happened?¡± Joes was puzzled and even more curious. Anna Chen raised her eyebrows and said,¡±you would never imagine that someone was knocking on the door when I woke up this morning.¡± When I opened it, I saw that it was ye chen. Not only did he bring breakfast, but he also brought a bouquet of flowers. ¡± ...... She described the scene vividly, as if it was presented in front of her, without the slightest difference. Qiao si si could also imagine that with ye Chen¡¯s good looks, it was normal for Chen Anna to fall for his tactics. ¡°And then?¡± Joes asked. ¡°At that time, I didn¡¯t know what ye chen wanted to do. He said he would take me to see a ce. That ce should be his shop. He closed it for a day and the shop is full of balloons and beautiful decorations. ¡± A sweet smile appeared on Anna Chen¡¯s face as she said this, and her heart felt warm. After so many years, ye chen was the first person to do this for her. Of course ... She also hoped to be thest one. At this point, Qiao sisi more or less understood the whole story. It was probably at this time that ye chen confessed. Under such an attack, Chen Anna agreed. ¡°Anna, ye Chen¡¯s family should have a good rtionship with your family, right?¡± Joes thought of this problem. Chen Anna thought for a moment and nodded,¡±¡±It¡¯s pretty good. Everyone is celebrating the New Year together. ¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ...¡± Joes understood and her lips curled into a smile. She raised her eyebrows and said,¡±¡±To be honest, since you¡¯ve agreed to it, you must have had feelings for her long ago, right?¡± Qiao sisi had seen ye chen many times in Yunqi. Although she wasn¡¯t familiar with this person, his appearance and personality were indeed impable, just like a gentle young master. He just didn¡¯t know if he was like this in front of Chen Anna. Chen Anna¡¯s face blushed slightly,pletely different from her usual carefree self. She nodded slightly and said with some hesitation,¡±¡±I guess ... I guess.¡± ¡°What do you mean by considered?¡± Joes had sessfully demonstrated what it meant to get to the bottom of things. Anna Chen was also a little annoyed. She rolled her eyes at her and said,¡±¡±Sisi, don¡¯t you understand me? Didn¡¯t I just say one thing and mean another? Don¡¯t ask, don¡¯t ask, I¡¯ve already said what I need to say. ¡± Looking at her embarrassed and angry expression, joesse smiled,¡±¡±Alright, I won¡¯t ask anymore.¡± The private room was filled with cheers andughter. After a long time, the other main character, ye chen, finally arrived at the Royal Restaurant. He was dressed in a suit, and his face was still handsome. After entering the Royal Restaurant, he walked straight to the private room. Very quickly, he found Room 001. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± There was a clear knock on the door. Chen Anna and Qiao si, who were in the private room, heard the knock and knew that ye chen had arrived. ¡°Your boyfriend is here.¡± Joes smiled and raised her eyebrows. ¡°I know!¡± Chen Anna red at her, quickly tidied her clothes, and then got up to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by a handsome face. Chen Anna showed a bright smile,¡±¡±Chen,e in quickly. We¡¯re all waiting for you.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Ye Chen¡¯s eyes were fixed on Chen Anna. After hearing her words, he chuckled, closed the door, and sat next to her. Then, he saw Joes and a look of surprise appeared on his face,¡±¡±This is ...¡± Chen Anna rarely mentioned anything about Qiao sisi to ye chen. She did mention that she had a close friend but had never mentioned her name. If she had mentioned her name, ye chen would have known that she was his girlfriend¡¯s good friend. He had met her before. Chen Anna cleared her throat and introduced,¡±¡±Chen, this is my best friend, Jossi. I won¡¯t introduce sisi to you, but you should have met before. ¡± Chen Anna also knew a little about Yun Qi¡¯s incident. Ye chen nodded and smiled at Qiao si si.¡±Miss Qiao, long time no see.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time indeed. I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯d win over my best friend when we meet again.¡± Joes blinked her eyes. If she had known this would happen, she would have known more about ye chen. Otherwise, she might have known that ye chen and Chen Anna had known each other when they were young. It was a pity that he had missed such an important piece of information due to a moment of negligence. Hearing this, ye chen also unconsciously looked at Chen Anna, his eyes full of love.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t think about it at that time.¡± His affectionate eyes sessfully made Chen Anna choke, and she couldn¡¯t help but lower her head to hide her shyness. The temperature in the private room rose rapidly, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. As the third wheel, Joes kept her mouth shut. In such a situation, it was better for her to be quiet. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Chen Anna quickly called for Qiao si si and ye chen to get chopsticks. Seeing her face turn slightly red, the two of them felt a little helpless and picked up their chopsticks to pick up the food. It had to be said that the dishes of the Royal Restaurant were indeed impable. Not only did they taste good, but they also looked good, making people have an appetite at first sight. In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed. The atmosphere was a little quiet. Ye chen did not say anything. He picked up a piece of red braised meat and ced it on Chen Anna¡¯s te. ¡°You should eat more too.¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help butugh and also picked up a piece of meat. The two of them had such a loving interaction that even Joes, who was sitting beside them, was stunned. It took her a while to regain her senses. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh in her heart. She was indeed a third wheel. However, there were still some things that Jossi had to do. She had to fulfill her duties as a best friend. Chapter 427

Chapter 427: I¡¯ll bring you up

At the thought of this, Joes narrowed her eyes slightly, ced her chopsticks on the table, and opened her mouth to break the obsession. ¡°Mr. Ye, there¡¯s something I want to ask you.¡± Ye chen stopped what he was doing and smiled politely.¡±¡±Of course. Please go ahead, miss Qiao.¡± Chen Anna was confused, but she didn¡¯t interrupt. ¡°If it¡¯s convenient, can youe out with me for a moment?¡± There were some things that were not easy to say in front of Chen Anna. Ye chen was slightly taken aback, clearly unable to react in time. However, Chen Anna said from the side,¡±¡±Chen, sisi has something to tell you. You can go out with her first.¡± From her words, it was clear how much Anna Chen trusted Joes. However, the trust between the two was mutual. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Ye chen did not hesitate. He immediately stood up and left the room with joesse. They continued their conversation in the corridor outside. There was no one in the corridor, so it was extremely quiet. ¡°I wonder what miss Qiao has to say to me?¡± Ye chen asked, puzzled. ¡°Mr. Ye, you¡¯ve actually known Anna for quite a long time,¡± said Joes with a serious expression. ...... There are many things that I can¡¯t say, but Anna is my good friend, so there are some things I must say. ¡± ¡°Please speak.¡± Ye chen seemed to have guessed what she was going to say and his expression became more serious. ¡°Anna¡¯s personality is a little more active, and we need Mr. Ye to be more tolerant of her. But what we can¡¯t tolerate the most is deception. I hope Mr. Ye can understand. I don¡¯t have any other intentions. ¡± The scene fell into a moment of silence. It could be considered a prediction from joesse, but she was not entirely sure. Ye Chen¡¯s eyes darkened but he quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, miss Qiao. I¡¯m true to Anna. I won¡¯t hide anything that needs to be said. Miss Qiao, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. ¡± ¡°I hope so,¡± Joesughed. After the discussion, the two of them did not stay outside and went straight into the private room. Chen Anna saw that the two had returned and asked them to sit down,¡±¡±If you¡¯re done talking, thene and eat quickly. The dishes are getting cold.¡± She was all smiles, as if she didn¡¯t care about what had happened just now. Joes smiled at her and sat down to eat. It seemed that after the conversation, the atmosphere in the private room became much better and less awkward. It was only in the evening that joesse and the other two prepared to leave the restaurant. At the entrance of the restaurant. Joes nced at the dark sky, which seemed to be a sign of rain. She took out her phone to take a look, and indeed, the weather forecast said that it would rain at night. She looked a little annoyed. She should have checked the weather forecast before meeting Zheng Zeyi. If he had known that it would rain today, he would not have asked her out. ¡°Sisi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Anna Chen could not help but ask when she noticed that Joes was frowning. Hearing that, Joes returned to her senses and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. I just took a look at the weather forecast. It¡¯s going to rain tonight.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen the weather forecast too. It¡¯s not just today. It¡¯s been raining for the past few days.¡± Chen Anna sighed. Ye chen stood at the side. After looking at the time, he asked,¡±¡±It¡¯s gettingte, why don¡¯t I send you two back first?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Joes immediately chose to reject him. She took out her car keys from her pocket and said,¡±¡±I have a car. You can send Anna back.¡± After being a third wheel for almost three hours, Joes did not want to continue disturbing the two of them. Moreover, ye chen should have known about her reminder. Since she had said so, Chen Anna didn¡¯t force her to stay. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, we¡¯ll be leaving now. Be careful on your way back.¡± ¡°I know, you guys too.¡± After greeting each other, Qiao si watched as Chen Anna got into ye Chen¡¯s car and sped away, gradually disappearing from her sight. She didn¡¯t waste any time. She sent Zheng Zeyi a text message and headed to the Zheng Corporation. At this time, thepany should still be around. It was only because it was about to rain that the sky was much darker than usual, as if it was already seven or eighto¡¯ clock. Joes drove her car and arrived at the Zheng¡¯s group before the rain. It was already drizzling, and the raindrops fell on the car window, dripping down drop by drop, making people feel inexplicably at ease. Joes picked up her bag and closed the car door. She ced the bag on her head and rushed towards the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. She lowered her head slightly. She had only run for a short distance when she could no longer feel the rain falling on her body. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Joesse was stunned. She put down her bag and raised her head slightly. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s familiar face entered her sight. He held a ck umbre and stood beside her. He chuckled and said,¡±¡±Silly, you didn¡¯t even ask me to pick you up when it¡¯s raining.¡± At that moment, Joes felt as if the entire world was only left with the two of them. She stared into those deep eyes and saw her own clear reflection. She didn¡¯t know why, but she felt a sour feeling in her nose. Qiao si sniffed and tried her best to suppress this feeling. She immediately rushed forward and hugged Zheng Zeyi tightly. The warm chest calmed her down. Zheng ze was stunned for a moment, then he shed a charming smile. He could not help but ruffle her hair with his free hand. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, sisi?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just missed you,¡± Because she was buried in his chest, her voice was muffled, but Zheng Zeyi still heard it clearly. This was probably ... The first time she had expressed her feelings so clearly. Zheng ze¡¯s expression softened, and his hands were even more gentle as he took joesse¡¯s bag. His gentle voice sounded above her head.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go. Follow me into thepany first. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Qiao si took a deep breath and let go of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand. She turned around and followed him into thepany. The interior of thepany was very cool. After entering, Joes scanned the hall. It had indeed been a while since shest came to the Zheng Corporation, but it seemed that she had not changed much. ¡°Let¡¯s go up. ¡± On the other hand, Zheng ze put away the umbre and wrapped his arms around her waist when she was not paying attention. Qiao SI¡¯s eyes widened and she looked at Zheng Zeyi in surprise.¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything,¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up slightly as his eyes flickered with an evil glint.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with hugging your own girlfriend? Don¡¯t worry, no one will say anything. I¡¯ll bring you up. ¡± Chapter 428

Chapter 428: I¡¯ll listen to you

¡°But ...¡± Without waiting for her to say anything, Zheng Zeyi carried her upstairs. During this time, the two of them were also discovered by many employees in thepany, and they all eximed in surprise. ¡°Oh my God, isn¡¯t that President Zheng?!¡± One of the employees was extremely shocked. He did not expect to be lucky enough to see Zheng Zeyi with a woman. This was because the president usually didn¡¯t get close to women. Some people at the side chimed in. ¡°I know who that woman is. The one who came to ourpany before was president Qiao from Xing Yuan design!¡± ¡°I also know that! I didn¡¯t expect the two of them to really be together. This is too unexpected, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so unexpected about this?¡± In the crowd, someone who knew more about the situation pouted and said,¡±¡±You probably don¡¯t know this, but President Zheng and President Qiao have been together for a long time. A year ago, the two of them announced it to the public. However, President Qiao disappeared after a while. ¡± ¡°Disappeared? I heard that he went abroad to study for a year. ¡± ...... ¡°I see. Now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, I do think that President Zheng and President Qiao are a perfect match.¡± No one refuted this point. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s looks were the dream lover of almost all the women in city h, and there was nothing to pick on about Qiao sisi. Even if the two of them stood together, they would still form an extremely eye-catching scene. In the elevator. Joes had heard a lot of thements from the employees outside. She pursed her lips slightly but did not say anything. After all, her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi would have to be made public sooner orter. It was just a matter of time. Soon, the two of them arrived at the office. Zheng Zeyi went to the resting room inside and took out a clean white towel, then gently ced it on joesse¡¯s hair. ¡°I¡¯ll help you wipe it. Be careful not to catch a cold. ¡± Joes was stunned for a moment before she smiled and nodded.¡±¡±Alright, then you can help me wipe it.¡± Zheng Zeyi wiped his face gently. Only joesse had seen this side of him before. The atmosphere in the huge office was a little ambiguous. Joes closed her eyes infort and leaned back on the sofa, enjoying a certain man¡¯s massage service. After he had dried his hair, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand that was holding the towel started to be restless. He moved down slightly andnded on her clothes. Just as he was about to wipe them, Joes dodged. Her eyes flickered and she asked in a panic,¡±¡±Zeyi, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Nothing much.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled, and a devilish smile appeared on his face as he said,¡±¡±I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll catch a cold. ¡± ¡°Don ¡®t!¡± Joes immediately chose to reject him.¡±The rain outside isn¡¯t that heavy. You don¡¯t have to wipe your clothes. Hurry up and finish reading the documents. Then, we¡¯ll go home.¡± Go home? Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and put down the towel obediently. It was not impossible to talk about it when they returned to the apartment. Little did he know that he and Jossi were thinking in twopletely different directions. ¡°Okay, then sit down and wait for me.¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi did not return to his desk immediately. Instead, he made a cup of warm cocoa for Qiao si. After passing Keke to her, he turned around to handle the documents. Joesse leaned back on the soft sofa. As soon as the cocoa entered her stomach, she felt her entire body warming up. She squinted her eyes slightly and sat in the distance. She looked at Zheng Zeyi, who was handling the documents in front of her. Her side profile was perfect. Indeed, a serious man was the most handsome. Joes smiled and lowered her head slightly to hide her smile. She even picked up her phone and looked at it. It seemed like the two of them were doing different things, but in fact, they were both paying attention to each other. The temperature in the office rose, and there was a warm feeling. At the same time, on the other side of the city, Zhao Hai ¡®er had also dressed up and left the house. Even on a rainy night, she worked tirelessly. After giving the 30000 Yuan to the Qiao family, they seemed to be unsatisfied and wanted to know more about their friend. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er would never reveal all of her trump cards, nor was she prepared to tell them. This time, she went out because after so many days, that rich man, Qian Yu, had asked her out again. How could she let go of such a person? ¡°Toot ...¡± Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Qian Yu picked it up shortly after.¡±¡±Where are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m at Qinghai Street. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er lowered her voice and hid under a roof to avoid the rain. ¡°Alright, I¡¯lle pick you up.¡± After driving for a while, Qian Yu finally found Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was taking shelter from the rain. Then, a ck car stopped in front of her. ¡°This is ...¡± Before Zhao Hai ¡®er could react, Qian Yu rolled down the window, and a familiar face appeared in front of her. Although Qian Yu looked ordinary, he was rich. This fact alone made him look much better in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er smiled shyly and nodded. She opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. After she got into the car, she started to look at the car and the various signs. Although Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t know much about cars, she knew that the car must be expensive. It turned out that her guess was right. Qian Yu was able to take out 100000 Yuan so easily. His family had some background and was quite rich. However, Qiao si SI¡¯s current power was not simple, so Qian Yu was still able to deal with her. Qian Yu drove the car to a nearby hotel. He didn¡¯t say much, but he already knew what he meant. Zhao Hai ¡®er had thought of this possibility before she came. Qian Yu nced at Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was in the passenger seat, and said,¡±¡±Follow me and listen to me. I¡¯ll definitely give you money.¡± ¡°Alright, brother Qian, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er agreed without hesitation. Of course, she wouldn¡¯t hug the wrong person. When the two of them arrived at the hotel, they had another round of sex, which didn¡¯t stop until the morning. For the next two days, Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qian Yu kept going on their dates. With this, she had also gained a lot of benefits from Qian Yu. All in all, it was at least 200000 Yuan. However, Qian Yu was not a fool. After giving it to him for a while, he would not give it to him often anymore. It was the day of the charity event. The original n was to hold it today, so Joes woke up early and went to the tailor shop. It was impossible for Qiao si si to wear ordinary clothes to attend such an event. No matter what, she was the CEO of Xing Yuan design. Chapter 429

Chapter 429: The truth that he didn¡¯t want to say

Zheng Zeyi also followed beside Qiao sisi and helped her pick out a bunch of nice-looking clothes. ¡°How¡¯s this one?¡± Joes had her eyes on a custom-made evening gown that was designed in a star-studded style. Under the light, it looked calm and reserved, but it did not lose its beauty. Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes when he saw the gown.¡±¡±It¡¯s good that you like it,¡± ¡°You don¡¯t think it¡¯s good?¡± ¡°...It¡¯s good. ¡± What could Zheng Zeyi say? he couldn¡¯t possibly say that he didn¡¯t want his fianc¨¦e to dress too well, so as not to attract the attention of other men. Joesse nced at Zheng Zeyi but did not say anything. ¡°This one then. Please wrap it up, thank you.¡± Joes smiled and said to the waiter. ¡°Yes, customer.¡± Even though the waitress was a girl, she was still mesmerized by Jossi¡¯s sweet smile. After wrapping up the dress, she ced it in a bag and passed it to Jossi. The price was outrageous. A single gift had cost Joes almost 150000. ...... If this was in the past, Joes would not even dare to think about it. But now, she understood that it was indeed difficult to imagine the lives of people who were not in the same ss. The charity event was scheduled for that night. It was still early, so Qiao si si and Zheng ze returned to Xing Yuan design for a short rest. This attracted the attention of thepany¡¯s employees. Regarding this, she was also quite helpless. However, after so many days, she had almost gotten used to it. Qian Yu was also going to the charity event, so Zhao Hai ¡®er and Qian Yu were not together today. ¡­¡­¡­ After Zhao Hai ¡®er left Qian Yu¡¯s ce, she quickly returned home. Liu Yun was already sitting in the living room, waiting for her. What Zhao Hai ¡®er did not know was that Liu Yun, Qiao Feng, and the others did not believe that she only had 30000 Yuan. After being quiet for so many days, it was time to take action and find out the truth. Before Zhao Hai ¡®er returned, Liu Yun, Qiao Feng, and Qiao Lei had decided to wait for her to return. At that time, they could get Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s money together. If possible, they would take the money to pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debt. In their vocabry, there was no such thing as impossible. Liu Yun had already agreed to the father and son¡¯s n, so she had been waiting for Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s return. Finally, when Zhao Hai ¡®er opened the door, she quickly gave the father and son of the Qiao family a look to hide. Zhao Hai ¡®er pushed the door open and entered. The first thing she saw was Liu Yun sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking nonchnt. Seeing this, she furrowed her brows slightly as an ominous feeling rose in her heart. It seemed like ... Liu Yun had been waiting for her to return. Zhao Hai ¡®er knew that Liu Yun might have something on, so she ignored her and simply greeted her,¡±¡±Mom, I¡¯m back.¡± After saying that, he prepared to return to his room, his actions Swift. Seeing Zhao Hai ¡®er about to return to her room, Liu Yun¡¯s eyelids twitched. She quickly beckoned Zhao Hai¡¯ er to sit beside her. ¡°Hai ¡®er,e here. I have something to tell you.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er stopped in her tracks. She was not an idiot. She could tell that something was wrong with Liu Yun. After all, they had been mother and daughter for so many years, so she could still see this abnormality. However, since Liu yundou had already said so, Zhao Hai ¡®er could not reject him, so she did as she was told. As she walked, she said,¡±Mom, what is it?¡± When Zhao Hai ¡®er sat down, Liu Yun held her hand and said,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, how did mom treat you? Mom and dad treat you pretty well, don¡¯t they? We¡¯re a family, and we shouldn¡¯t hide anything from each other. Right, hai ¡®er?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was not used to Liu Yun being so nice to her all of a sudden, and her brows furrowed even deeper. Those who were unountably solicitous were either evil or thieving. ¡°Mom, if there¡¯s anything you want to say, just say it. I know that you and dad are good to me.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said indifferently, without a trace of emotion. The family had always ced benefits above all else, and benefits were more important than feelings. The Qiao family had always followed this principle. ¡°What are you saying!¡± Liu Yun pretended to be angry, but she cut to the chase and asked,¡±Hai ¡®er, how did you get the 30000 Yuan a few days ago? Don¡¯t treat your dad and I like fools. You don¡¯t have any friends in city H. If anything happens, you can tell mom and mom will help you solve it!¡± Liu Yun made a solemn vow. In fact, it could not hide the greed in her eyes. She wanted to get more money from Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er saw that Liu Yun had finally spoken her mind, and her brows furrowed. It was impossible for her to fork out the remaining money. This time, Liu Yun¡¯s n had failed. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at Liu Yun with determination and exined,¡±¡±Mom, I didn¡¯t make it clear, so I¡¯ve made you worry. Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t do anything sneaky. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been lucky recently, and I went to buy a lottery ticket a few days ago. ¡± At this point, she paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t expect to win the money as soon as I bought it. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I said that I borrowed the money. And it¡¯s just a prize. I thought of the 500000 Yuan that I still owe, so I quickly brought the money back to you. ¡± Her expression was very serious, and she didn¡¯t seem to want to lie. If Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t know what she had done, she would have been fooled by her superb acting. However, Liu Yun was her mother, after all. She knew Zhao Hai ¡®er too well, and with her many years of experience, she could see through Zhao Hai¡¯ er¡¯s lies. The smile on her face froze. How could she not understand that Zhao Hai ¡®er did not want to tell the truth? This made Liu Yun even more curious. What had happened to this girl? Even if he really won the lottery, a normal person probably wouldn¡¯t hand over everything they had. Otherwise, they would really be a fool. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Liu Yun didn¡¯t say anything, but her lips twitched. Seeing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er also forced a smile.¡±¡±Then, mom, I¡¯ve told you everything. I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡± She didn¡¯t stay any longer and got up to return to her room. Liu Yun gritted her teeth. Seeing that the soft approach did not work, she could only resort to the hard approach. She had discussed with Qiao Feng earlier that no matter what, she would have to get some money from Zhao Hai ¡®er first. Just as Zhao Hai ¡®er returned to her room, she suddenly heard a scream. ¡°Ah!¡± A blood-curdling screech resounded through the clouds. Hearing the scream, Zhao Hai ¡®er subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and realized it was Qiao Lei¡¯s room. Why was it over there? Zhao Hai ¡®er was confused. Before she could react, Liu Yun, who was in the living room, stood up and rushed to Qiao Lei¡¯s room. Chapter 430 - I don’t even have a hundred thousand Yuan

Chapter 430: I don¡¯t even have a hundred thousand Yuan

Seeing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er stopped in her tracks. She was curious about what was going on. In the end, she decided to go and watch the show. Zhao Hai ¡®er walked closer and saw that Qiao Feng was in Qiao Lei¡¯s room, holding a broom high. And in front of him was Qiao Lei. Qiao Feng hit Qiao Lei with his broom and scolded,¡±¡±You wastrel, solve your own debts. Don¡¯t cause trouble at home, I¡¯m going to break your legs today. ¡± When Qiao Feng saw Zhao Hai ¡®er, he used more force to make his act more realistic. Qiao Feng, who had been beaten up, also used both his fists and legs, rolling on the ground and begging for mercy. Qiao Lei wiped the tears and snot from his face and quickly exined,¡±¡±Dad, I really didn¡¯t provoke them. They were the ones who came to me. I was also tricked by boss long, I won¡¯t do it again. Dad, stop hitting me!¡± One scream after another sounded rather terrifying. Liu Yun, who had just arrived, didn¡¯t stay idle either. She immediately rushed up to stop the fight and said, ¡°Child¡¯s father, don¡¯t hit me! Lei didn¡¯t want this to happen. ¡± ¡°Go away, it¡¯s not your ce to speak when I¡¯m lecturing my son!¡± Qiao Feng cursed in anger. ...... The room was in a mess. At the door, Zhao Hai ¡®er saw this scene and felt a little weird. She frowned. The Qiao family had a tradition of favoring boys over girls. In the past, Qiao Feng couldn¡¯t even bear to scold Qiao Lei, let alone hit him. After owing Qiao Lei 500000 Yuan for so long, this was the first time Zhao Hai ¡®er had seen Qiao Feng hit Qiao Lei so hard. Was it real ... Or fake? Zhao Hai ¡®er had no conclusion yet, so she just stood there and watched. Qiao Lei was begging for mercy on the ground. He didn¡¯t dare to fight back and could only wail. However, Qiao Feng did not stop and scolded,¡±¡±Don¡¯t count on me for your debt this time. I¡¯ve already helped you to the best of my abilities. Because of you, you prodigal, your sister and mother¡¯s wages have to be used to pay off their debts. You want this family to fall apart, don¡¯t you?¡± Qiao Feng made the matter sound very serious, but no one knew if he really thought so. After all, in his eyes, men were the indomitable existences, and women were just auxiliary. After that, Qiao Feng saw that Zhao Hai ¡®er still did note to persuade him. He thought that he had not hit her hard enough. He looked at the mop beside him and took it without hesitation. ¡°I¡¯m going to break your legs today!¡±He said viciously. After saying that, Qiao Feng raised the broom high and was about to hit Qiao Lei. He looked like he had done enough. Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t help but panic. He ran out of the door and begged,¡±¡±Dad, I know I¡¯m wrong. Stop hitting me!¡± In such a chaotic situation, Liu Yundu felt a little suffocated and quickly stopped Qiao Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°Child¡¯s father, don¡¯t be so heavy-handed!¡± In short, after reading for a long time, the broom still hadn¡¯t been implemented. Fortunately, they had achieved their goal. Zhao Hai ¡®er was starting to believe them. This debt would probably make it difficult for the entire Qiao family to turn over a new leaf. ¡°Mom, dad, tell me the truth. Qiao Lei owes us 500000 Yuan. How much do we need now?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er frowned. As soon as he said that, Qiao Feng immediately put down the broom in his hand. He did not want to continue fighting. That was his precious son. It was not worth it to go to the hospital if he was injured. Without waiting for Liu Yun to speak, Qiao Feng said,¡±¡±We¡¯re still short of 410000 Yuan. My family has gathered enough, but they can only gather 90000 Yuan at most.¡± Liu Yun wanted to stop him and ask him to lower the price. Perhaps he could get more money from Zhao Hai ¡®er. But since Qiao Feng had already said it, he could only give up. ¡°Four hundred and ten thousand!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s brows furrowed even more when she heard the number. It was much more than she had expected. During this period of time, she had only received about 200000 Yuan from Qian Yu and had given some back to her family. Now, it seemed that even if he took out all of it, it would not be enough to pay back. Zhao Hai ¡®er said,¡±¡± 410000. I can¡¯t get that much money, but I do have a few friends in city H. If we put together a little bit, we should be able to put together 100000 Yuan. As for the remaining money ... I can¡¯t do anything about it. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er purposely sighed and looked regretful. It was impossible for her to cut off all her escape routes. As long as she continued to keep in touch with Qian Yu during this period of time, she would still be able to get the money. It was not uneptable to give 100000 Yuan. Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t do anything else. She still had to ensure her own life. The scene fell silent for a moment. Liu Yun opened her mouth and said with dissatisfaction,¡±¡±But hai ¡®er, 100000 Yuan ... Isn¡¯t that a little too little? Even if I return 190000, I¡¯m still short of 310000. ¡± ¡°This is too much.¡± Liu Yun mumbled to herself, but the expression on her face was clearly seen by everyone. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face turned cold.¡±¡±Dad, mom, I¡¯m not as rich as Jossi. It¡¯s not hard to return three hundred and ten thousand. It¡¯s better than five hundred thousand. This is the most I can offer. If you¡¯re still not satisfied, I won¡¯t borrow from my friends. ¡± Seeing that Zhao Hai ¡®er was about to fall out with him, Qiao Feng quickly stepped forward andforted her,¡±¡±No, no, 100000 Yuan is enough. I¡¯ll think of a way to get the rest.¡± Liu Yun still wanted to say something, but Qiao Feng¡¯s re made her swallow her words. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back to my room first. I¡¯ll give you the money when I get it.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t want to stay there any longer, so she turned around and went back to her room. Liu Yun pulled on Qiao Feng¡¯s sleeve and said unhappily,¡±¡±It¡¯s only 100000 Yuan. What can you do with that?¡± Their original intention was to get at least 300000 Yuan, but now it had shrunk by so much. Qiao Feng red at her.¡±¡±You didn¡¯t see your daughter¡¯s face. If you keep talking, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even have a hundred thousand Yuan left!¡± He was not lying. Zhao Hai ¡®er did have such thoughts. However, her words did remind Qiao Feng that he could still think of a way through Qiao sisi. Even if they didn¡¯t lend it in the end, they wouldn¡¯t lose anything. At the same time, Qiao sisi, who was constantly on the Qiao family¡¯s mind, had already arrived at the venue of the charity event. Zheng Zeyi appeared as her malepanion. The venue of the charity event was an extremely high-end skyscraper. Of course ... It was only held on one of the floors. Even so, the grade was very high. ¡°Bang!¡± After closing the car door, joesse followed Zheng ze out of the car. Chapter 431

Chapter 431: I¡¯ll take you to see

The kindness Association had invited the CEOs of somepanies in city h or the prominent families. Some smallpanies also invited, but most of them couldn¡¯t even protect themselves, so they wouldn¡¯t ask them to pay. Chen zuolin had already given Jossi the invitation letter. ¡°Let¡¯s go ... What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qiao si asked curiously when she saw Zheng Zeyi suddenly stop in his tracks. Zheng Zeyi raised his phone helplessly and saw that it was a call from old master Zheng. Looking at this scene, Joes could not help but smile and said,¡±¡±I understand. You can go and answer the phone first. I¡¯ll go in first and wait for you toe in to find me after you¡¯re done, how about that?¡± ¡°Alright, give me a moment.¡± With that, Zheng Zeyi left temporarily and stood not far away to answer the phone. On the other hand, joesse chose to enter the charity venue first. However, when he reached the door, he stopped. Before that, there was actually something else that happened. At the Jiang family¡¯s Vi. ...... Jiang hai nced at the exquisitely crafted invitation in his hand and angrily mmed it on the table. This thing, he got angry just by looking at it. It would have been fine if it had been before, but he had an agreement with Joes to donate 10 million to the charity Association. This invitation letter represented the 10 million he was about to prepare! ¡°Jossi, you¡¯re just a F * cking B * tch! Cheap slut!¡± Jiang hai wished he could spit on the invitation. However, if he did not attend the kindness Association, he would be in danger. The information that joesse had provided previously was clear to Jiang hai, and it was evidence of his corruption. It would not do Jianghai any good if his messy private life was exposed. Louis had a tigress at home, after all, and his current power wasrgely due to his wife. He heaved a sigh of relief. At this point, no matter how unwilling Jianghai was, he had no choice but to go to the kindness Association. Even if he didn¡¯t go, he couldn¡¯t change the situation. However, Jiang Hai¡¯s hatred for Joes only grew. If he had the chance, he would definitely not hold back. ¡­¡­¡­ For the time being, joesse was not particrly clear about the matters in Jianghai. However, there was one thing she was sure of. As long as Jianghai didn¡¯te, or didn¡¯t donate 10 million as she said, she would definitely be able to save the money. The next day, the evidence would be posted on the inte. It was impossible to give him any hope. Initially, Qiao Si was prepared to show her invitation to join the kindness Association, but she was very curious about the contents of Zheng ze¡¯s phone call. Helplessly, she could only choose to stand by and wait for him. After a long time, Zheng Zeyi finally finished the call and caught a glimpse of Qiao si who was waiting for him. He was slightly stunned and quickly walked over. With a smile on his face, he asked,¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you go in first?¡± ¡°I want to wait for you.¡± Joes said honestly. Since she had already put it that way, Zheng Zeyi naturally could not say anything else. After nodding his head, he held Qiao si SI¡¯s hand and entered the charity Association¡¯s venue. ¡°Good day, President Zheng!¡± The two security guards at the entrance had seen Zheng Zeyi before and greeted him respectfully. He didn¡¯t even look at the invitation and just let the two of them in. With Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, he didn¡¯t need an invitation. After entering, joesse did not ask about the contents of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s call. Instead, she asked a few questions about the kindness Association while he was still around. ¡°Zeyi, when did you guys start co-organizing the charity Association? why did you suddenly have this idea?¡± Joes asked curiously. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he exined patiently,¡±¡±It should have started six years ago. The reason why I invested and cooperated with Hengyuan is that both of us are leading enterprises in the business world.¡± Even though he was praising himself, Qiao si could not detect any pride in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. ¡°Of course, not everyone who is invited has to donate,¡± Zheng Zeyi continued. ¡°Some people care about their reputation, so they¡¯ll donate more. If we manage it, the people in the middle won¡¯t be greedy.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was cold. Jossi was very clear about what he said. Many charities used the gimmick of helping refugees or disabled children to cheat money. There wasn¡¯t much that was truly provided to them. Even one percent was a huge problem. However, if the Zheng¡¯s group and Hengyuan were to invest in this matter, it would bepletely transparent to the outside world. They didn¡¯tck money, and they also wanted to do some charity. At the thought of this, Qiao sisi¡¯s heart was filled with warmth, and she looked at Zheng Zeyi with gentleness. Sensing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, she opened her red lips slightly and changed the topic.¡±¡±Zeyi, I still have a question. After the charity event, would they prepare some food? Otherwise, I¡¯ll always feel bored staying there. ¡± Joesse felt that saying this would ruin her image and could not help but blush. What she did not expect was for Zheng ze to chuckle affectionately after hearing that. He reached out his hand and gently touched Joes¡¯s nose. He wanted tough, but he was speechless as he said,¡±Sisi, is food the only thing on your mind?¡± Just as Qiao sisi was about to retort, Zheng Zeyi looked at her with a doting expression and said,¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t worry about this. There will be a buffet at noon. It¡¯s just downstairs. I won¡¯t let you go hungry. I won¡¯t allow this to happen. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. In an instant, Joes swallowed all the words she wanted to refute. After the two of them took the elevator to the floor where the charity Association was held, they passed through a long corridor and a huge Hall came into view. When they arrived, Zheng Zeyi first exined to joesse so that she would not bepletely clueless. These were considered antiques provided by the two major groups, including the sponsorshippany, and they were all part of their own collection. As long as you donate more than 10 million Yuan to the charity Association, you can get an antique at will with your number te. It was also a gift to the donor. After listening to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s exnation, joesse came to a sudden realization and said,¡±¡±I see, I understand.¡± She had not participated in many charity associations before. This was her first time, but it was different from what she had imagined. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to have a look. ¡± With that, Zheng Zeyi led joesse around the hall. Therge hall was filled with many antiques, all of which were ced in extremely safe ss boxes for everyone to admire. Along the way, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi did not see any exhibits, but they met a few familiar faces. Chapter 432 - I’ve never

Chapter 432: I¡¯ve never

However, they were all Zheng Zeyi¡¯s business partners. Joesse was not too familiar with them and had not seen them much. ¡°President Zheng, long time no see!¡± It was a man walking towards them, and on his left was a well-dressed femalepanion. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi also stopped in his tracks. He smiled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s been a long time indeed, boss li. ¡± Upon seeing this scene, Qiao si, who was standing beside Zheng Zeyi, was very calm. However, she did not miss the hostile look in her femalepanion¡¯s eyes. She really wanted to pretend that she didn¡¯t see it, but his gaze was too intense, so she couldn¡¯t even pretend. Jossi frowned and raised her head to look at the woman. She met the woman¡¯s eyes that were filled with hatred. However, when the woman saw him, she was shocked. She quickly looked away and lowered her head, pretending that nothing had happened. ¡°What¡¯s going on with this woman?¡± Jossi could not help but have this suspicious thought. However, when her eyes met Zheng Zeyi who was beside her, she instantly understood. If she did not guess wrongly, this woman hated her so much because of Zheng Zeyi, right? At the thought of this, Joes could not help but hold her forehead helplessly. She had not evene into contact with him and yet another rotten peach had appeared. The woman¡¯s eyes met, but the man called boss li didn¡¯t care much. He said,¡±¡±President Zheng, you¡¯ve brought out all the antiques in your house this time.¡± ...... After saying that, he scanned the entire Hall. Many of the antiques in the hall were provided by Zheng Zeyi, but that did not mean that they were the foundation of the Zheng family. It could only be said that ... He was still far from it. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up, but the smile did not reach his eyes.¡±I guess so, Mr. Li. I¡¯d like to see you perform even more shocking tricks thanst time when the charity event starts.¡± At the mention of this, boss Li¡¯s face suddenly sank, and the smile on his face became more and more stiff. It was obvious that this person had done something in the previous kindness Association. President li calmed himself down and forced a smile.¡±President Zheng, you must be joking. It¡¯s been two years since thest incident. Who would remember?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to remember, you naturally won¡¯t remember.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone also calmed down. Since they had alreadye to this point, there was no need to continue the conversation. Director li swallowed his saliva, and his eyes were already filled with embarrassment. He nced into the distance and suddenly said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I still have an old friend waiting for me. I won¡¯t continue to chat with you, I¡¯ll be leaving first. ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi replied coldly as he watched CEO li leave with his somewhat unwilling femalepanion. As for the old friend, it was just an excuse to escape. Joris retracted her gaze and asked in confusion,¡±¡±Zeyi, did that person do anything two years ago?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter,¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly, but seeing that joesse was curious, he did not hide anything and told her everything. This boss Li¡¯spany was in the electronic products industry and was considered to be a prominent figure in city H. However, the kindness Association two years ago had truly let everyone witness this person¡¯s shamelessness. He clearly couldn¡¯t take out 10 million, but he still insisted on donating 10 million in the charity Association just to take an antique in the hall. He was supposed to be cklisted, but seeing that boss Li¡¯spany was growing bigger and bigger, Zheng Zeyi did not want to let him off so easily. If he could make more contributions, he would make more. In any case, he was not going to take any of the antiques in the hall. He could only dream about it. The corners of joesse¡¯s mouth twitched as she listened to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ount of what had happened at the charity event two years ago. She really admired President li for being able to survive after deceiving both Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin. ¡°This boss li has changed my view of shamelessness.¡± Joes sighed. Zheng Zeyi smiled and rubbed her face.¡±¡±There are even more shameless people than him, but they¡¯ve all been cklisted.¡± If he really did something worse than boss li, the charity Association wouldn¡¯t need to invite those people anymore. After this small interlude, the two of them continued to stroll around the hall, admiring the antique exhibits disyed by various stores. Not everything could be taken away. After strolling around for a while, joesse¡¯s attention was attracted by one of the exhibits. She quickly walked over and called Zheng Zeyi over to take a look. It was a stone statue. After looking at it, Joes felt that it was rather strange. It wasn¡¯t that the workmanship was very good, and it didn¡¯t give people a feeling of light. On the contrary, the entire stone statue revealed a sense of decay, letting people know that this stone statue was quite old. There was also an introduction to the stone statue. Joes pursed her lips. After reading the introduction, she realized that the stone statue was hundreds of years old. It could be considered an antique in the true sense of the word, and could be said to have a long history. ¡°I remember ... This should be an antique that Hengyuan invested in.¡± Zheng Zeyi had some impression of the stone statue. After hearing his words, Joes blinked her eyes as if she suddenly recalled something. She said,¡±¡±Now that you mention it, I remember. Why didn¡¯t I see brother Chen today?¡± After saying that, she looked around, but she didn¡¯t see Chen zuolin. Logically speaking, he was one of the organizers of the kindness Association, so he should have arrived early. Before joesse coulde up with an answer, Zheng Zeyi turned her head around and looked straight into her eyes.¡±Why are you so concerned about him?¡± ¡°Care? I don¡¯t have any. ¡± For a moment, Qiao si did not understand what Zheng Zeyi meant. She lifted her eyes slightly and met his angry eyes. Looking into his eyes, no matter how slow-witted Qiao Si was, she could tell that Zheng Zeyi was angry. She felt a little helpless. She smiled and grabbed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s wrist, saying,¡±¡±I was wondering what happened. Are you jealous?¡± This King of jealousy was even cuter than she had imagined. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi choked and did not know what to say. He turned his head slightly and said,¡±¡±No, he¡¯s just not a good person. You don¡¯t have to care so much about him, I¡¯m enough. ¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s enough to have you here.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s tone was serious. After she said that, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gloomy expression finally eased a little. ¡°You¡¯re not angry anymore, are you?¡± There was a hint of a smile in Joes ¡®eyes, and Zheng ze¡¯s lips curled up.¡±¡±Don¡¯t mess around, I¡¯ve never had any. ¡± Joes did not know how to reply to such a quibble. Chapter 433 - Let’s take a look first

Chapter 433: Let¡¯s take a look first

¡°Alright, alright,¡± she said, blinking.¡±I won¡¯t mention it anymore. Let¡¯s continue walking around.¡± For the next half an hour, Zheng Zeyi and joesse were in the hall looking at the exhibits that had great origins. During this period, she also met many familiar people who came up to greet her. Not only Zheng Zeyi, but also Qiao sisi. For example, President Lin and the others who had chosen to cooperate before. These people had a certain level of credibility in city H. Naturally, it was impossible for them to be cklisted by the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group and Hengyuan investments. At this time, almost everyone who was supposed to be here had arrived. Joes nced at the clock hanging in the hall. It was already two in the afternoon. It was indeed almost time for the charity Association to be held. ¡°Zeyi, it¡¯s almost time. Let¡¯s enter the venue.¡± Qiao si si tugged on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go in then,¡± he nodded and said. The two of them held hands and walked straight to the charity hall next door. Just as they reached the door, they suddenly heard a voice behind them. ¡°Zeyi?¡± The voice was familiar. It was the voice of an old man. ...... Qiao si si and Zheng ze stopped in their tracks at the same time. She turned around and saw an old man in a flowery shirt. He was wearing a pair of reading sses. Although he was wearing a flowery shirt, it didn¡¯t look too out of ce on him. This was ... Joes focused her eyes and searched through her memories, finally remembering who this old man was. This old man had attended old master Zheng¡¯s birthday party a year ago and was sitting at the same table as him. Joesse was still a little shady. He seemed to be addressed as elder Tian, but Joes was not too sure about the details. When Zheng Zeyi saw who it was, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said politely,¡±¡±So it¡¯s Grandpa Tian, long time no see.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, Zeyi,¡± Old master Tianughed heartily, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Qiao si. It seemed like he had heard of her existence. After all, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi were together at the birthday party. Moreover, she had even gone to old master Zheng¡¯s table after that. It was hard to forget. Sure enough! The next moment, old master Tian mentioned her and said with a smile,¡±You must be sisi. I¡¯ve seen you before.¡± ¡°Hello, Grandpa Tian, I¡¯m sisi.¡± After recovering from her shock, Joes quickly greeted old master Tian with a sweet smile on her face. ¡°You and Zeyi ... I¡¯ve never heard of any news of you getting married. Are you engaged yet?¡± Old master Tian said with a smile. However, the words that came out of his mouth stunned Joes. This was because she was not engaged to Zheng Zeyi. In fact, they had only been together for a short while and had just talked about their engagement. At the thought of this, Qiao sisi lowered her gaze and tried to organize her words. Just as she was about to speak, Zheng Zeyi pulled her back. Zheng Zeyi gave her a reassuring look and said to old master Tian with a smile,¡±¡±Grandpa Tian, we¡¯re not engaged yet. When the timees for the engagement, I will definitely get someone to send the invitation to Grandpa Tian. ¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Old master Tian immediately agreed and said with a smile,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll be waiting to attend your wedding.¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Tian.¡± Joes chuckled. The more old master Tian looked at Qiao sisi, the more satisfied he was. He walked to her side and said softly,¡±¡±Sisi, Grandpa Tian is old man Zheng¡¯s good friend. You can tell me anything, Grandpa will help you. ¡± At this point, old master Tian paused and nced at Zheng Zeyi, who was standing beside him. He asked,¡±¡±Zeyi didn¡¯t bully you, did he? if he did, tell me. I¡¯ll definitely help you teach him a lesson.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard her confident tone. After getting to know each other better, old master Tian did not dwell on the issue of engagement. Instead, he asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, sisi, you two are here to join the kindness Association, right?¡± He said ¡°participate,¡± but not ¡°participate.¡± It had two different meanings. After all, Zheng Zeyi was one of the organizers of the kindness Association. Naturally, he could choose to juste and take a look. ¡°Grandpa Tian, we have indeed chosen to participate.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly. Then, he looked at old master Tian and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Tian, on the other hand, has never missed any charity events all these years. In the past years, you¡¯ve always been the one who¡¯s most interested in these things. Grandpa Tian¡¯s donations added together are probably enough to buy a building. ¡± No matter what, old master Tian was old master Zheng¡¯s good friend. Zheng Zeyi would definitely not be as cold as he was to other strangers, so he would naturally be a little more friendly. Upon hearing that, Joes, who was standing to his left, was shocked. However, she quickly suppressed her shock after she regained her senses. She just didn¡¯t expect that old master Tian would actually contribute so much to the charity Association. This building was even bigger than the area of thepany under joesse¡¯s name, and the price could not bepared. It could be seen that old master Tian was kind and often came to the kindness Association. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, old master Tian smiled.¡±¡±Ze Yi, what are you saying? you juniors can fight for other things, I won¡¯t get involved. However, this kind of charity, this old man will do as much as I can. I don¡¯t have any children, so it¡¯s a good thing to be able to umte more virtue. ¡± Old master Tian had already let go of this matter. When she caught a glimpse of his expression, Joes pursed her lips slightly and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. To be honest, old master Tian was probably the most generous person in her eyes. Not everyone would be willing to donate the foundation that they had built in their lifetime. Moreover, he came to the kindness Association every year, which was not something ordinary people could do. After the three of them stood together and chatted for a while, old master Tian looked at the time and said,¡±¡±Zeyi, sisi, the charity event is about to start. Let¡¯s not waste any more time here and go in to take a look. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After agreeing, the three of them walked to the hall next door, where the number tes and seats were already prepared. Of course, not everyone could get a number te. The first person who donated more than ten million Yuan would get number one, and so on. At the same time that joesse and the rest entered the venue, two other people also arrived at the building. One of them was Chen zuolin, and the other ... Was Jiang hai, who had been threatened by joesse. The two of them bumped into each other at the door. Chen zuolin had been dyed bypany matters, so he arrived at the kindness Associationter than he had expected. As soon as he reached the door, he was seen by two security guards. They greeted him,¡±¡±Hello, President Chen.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Donation of three hundred million

Chen zuolin nodded slightly in response. Just as he was about to enter, he noticed a figure behind him. It was Jianghai. After thinking for a moment, Chen zuolin remembered that Jiang Hai¡¯s name was indeed on the list of invited guests. It was just that this person didn¡¯t have a deep memory, so Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t recall it at the moment. However, he only stopped for a moment before Jiang hai caught up to him.¡±¡±Chief Chen, I¡¯m Jiang hai.¡± The next moment, he was stopped by two security guards at the door. The security guard said seriously,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, please show me your invitation. ¡± ¡°This ...¡± Jiang hai was still in a daze after being stopped. He quickly took out the invitation from his pocket. ¡°Is that enough?¡± Jiang hai asked urgently. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t tear the invitation when he was at home in a fit of anger. Otherwise, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to squeeze into the charity Association¡¯s venue, let alone participate in the donation. ¡°It¡¯s done. ¡± The security guard nodded. After the invitation was confirmed by the security guards, Jianghai city was finally allowed into the charity Association¡¯s venue. They could finally heave a sigh of relief. ...... It was a good thing that Chen zuolin, whom he had been thinking about, hadn¡¯t gone far. He was not far ahead. Seeing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s face lit up with joy. He quickly walked over and greeted,¡±¡±President Chen, long time no see.¡± Chen zuolin didn¡¯t really want to pay attention to this voice, but he still chose to stop. He turned around and saw Jiang Hai¡¯s greasy face. ¡°Is there something?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s expression froze at Chen zuolin¡¯s cold words. He didn¡¯t expect Chen zuolin to be so disrespectful. After all, the two of them had had a meal together before, but it was a long time ago. That time, joesse was also there. Jiang hai felt a little ufortable, but the person standing in front of him was Chen zuolin. He was not someone who could be bullied by the CEO of a smallpany. At the thought of this, Jiang hai could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. I just greeted President Chen when I saw him.¡± ¡°Well, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go first.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Seeing that Chen zuolin was about to leave, Jiang hai quickly ran to him and blocked his way. Seeing this, Chen zuolin furrowed his brows and asked,¡±What do you want to do?¡± He also remembered this person. Although he didn¡¯t have much of a presence at the banquetst time, there weren¡¯t many people, so Chen zuolin could still remember it clearly. Most importantly, Joes did not like Jianghai city. That was the main reason. ¡°President Chen, I just wanted to ask, what is your rtionship with that President Qiao fromst time?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s tone was probing. At the banquetst time, Chen zuolin and joesse¡¯s rtionship was not ordinary. Jiang hai did not dare to not donate, but he was unwilling to do so. He wanted to find out more about Jossi. If he found an opportunity, he would definitely not hold back. ¡°It has nothing to do with you,¡± Chen zuolin looked at Jiang hai coldly. After he finished speaking, he didn¡¯t give Jiang hai another chance to speak and walked straight to the elevator. Jiang hai was left alone with a look of indignation on his face. After they were far away, he couldn¡¯t help but spit,¡±¡±What¡¯s this? I¡¯m just a little rich, right? Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to be proud when I¡¯m rich!¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s anger red up at the thought of Joes. He took a deep breath and quickly entered the charity Association¡¯s grounds. Chen zuolin and Jiang hai were thest two people to enter. As they entered one after the other, they attracted a lot of attention. Looking at this, joesse raised her brows in confusion. Why did brother Chene in with Jiang hai? Even though she knew that the two of them had no other rtionship, Jiang hai was not a good person. She was worried that this person would do something to them. ¡°You stopped looking at me the moment he came?¡± All of a sudden, a sour voice rang out from above her head, causing Joes to snap out of her thoughts. When she looked up, she was met with a pair of deep eyes. She curled her lips and smiled helplessly.¡±¡±I¡¯m just curious how he managed to get in here with Jianghai. ¡± After exining, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression looked a little better. The protagonists of both parties had arrived, and the charity event could finally begin. The hall was decorated like an award ceremony. There was a stage below and a circle of seats above. Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s seats were the closest to the stage. Soon, after the charity event began, a well-dressed host changed the stage with a microphone. He raised his microphone and said,¡±wee, distinguished guests, to the kindness Association that is held once every two years.¡± The guests should know that the charity event was jointly organized by the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group and Hengyuan Investment Corporation. Next up ... Let us wee the two presidents on stage to give a speech!¡± After saying that, two beams of light shone on Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin, who was sitting not far away. This was an indispensable part of every charity event, and neither of them liked to give speeches. However, since it was just an opening, he could forget about it. ¡°I¡¯ll go up for a while. ¡± Zheng ze only got up and went on stage after he was done talking to Qiao sisi. On the other side, Chen zuolin was also the same. The two slender and handsome figures attracted the attention of many women in the field. Jossi sighed once again. This was the disadvantage of having an outstanding man. Those who did not know better would think that she had found a celebrity as her boyfriend. On the stage. After they went on stage, the emcee handed two microphones to Chen zuolin and Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi took the microphone and spoke first with a calm expression,¡±¡±I very much wee everyone to join the kindness Association. The charity event has been held three times so far, and you should all be clear about the model. I don¡¯t need to exin the benefits of doing charity. ¡± At this point, Zheng Zeyi paused for a moment before he continued,¡±¡±I¡¯m donating 300 million Yuan on behalf of the Zheng¡¯s group.¡± 300 million? Hearing this somewhat shocking number, the entire Hall quieted down. It could be said that it waspletely silent. Even Qiao SI¡¯s eyes widened. Zheng Zeyi had never told her about this. She didn¡¯t know that the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group was so rich that they would give out 300 million Yuan. After all, this was a charity. It wasn¡¯t like a project where you couldn¡¯t get it back after donating it. The corners of Qiao SI¡¯s mouth lifted as she looked at Zheng Zeyi on stage. She also felt that she had made the right choice in choosing this man. Zheng Zeyi ignored the reactions of the audience and handed the right to speak to Chen zuolin after he finished speaking. He then walked off the stage. They were like this every year, and the people in the audience didn¡¯t say anything. Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Liven up the atmosphere for her

Chen zuolin took the microphone and said indifferently,¡±What I¡¯m going to say is no different from what President Zheng said, so there¡¯s no need to be so polite. Hengyuan has invested and donated 250 million Yuan to the charity!¡± Two hundred and fifty million ... At this time, no matter how surprised the crowd was, they could only suppress their emotions. Anyone with eyes could see that there was a kind of tit-for-tat atmosphere between these two CEOs. Although Chen zuolin didn¡¯t donate 300 million, 250 million wasn¡¯t a small amount. It just so happened that Hengyuan investments was also recently investing in a big project. The fact that he was able to take out so much liquid funds for a donation already showed Chen zuolin¡¯s intentions. Joes could not help but feel a little speechless. These two people were really too rich. After Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin got off the stage, they looked at each other from a distance, and it seemed as if there were sparks in the air. After that, Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze and sat down beside joesse. The host on the stage also noticed that something was wrong. He smiled awkwardly and brought the topic back to the right track. He said loudly,¡±distinguished guests, you should have heard it. As the organizer of the kindness Association, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve heard it.¡± President Zheng and President Chen contributed 550 million! This amount may not mean much to you, but to the other refugees and disabled children who are in deep waters, it is money that can save their lives! ...... Everyone, please look at the big screen!¡± After the host finished speaking, he pointed to the big screen behind him. The staff behind the scenes received the order and began to y the video. The screen was ying videos of disabled children. From the video, it could be seen that their lives were not satisfactory. The host sighed,¡±when we were living a wealthy life, there were many children around the world who couldn¡¯t afford to eat.¡± As long as our distinguished guests can contribute a little bit to this charity, perhaps you¡¯ll bring more than you¡¯ve paid!¡± After that, a round of warm apuse rang out from the audience. Joes also felt that the emcee was right and pped with a smile. This was the nature of charity, but now that it was being run by the Zheng group and Hengyuan investment, there was no need to worry that the money would not be used in actual practice. After saying what needed to be said, the emcee did not continue with the nonsense and took out a name list. This list was a list of distinguished guestspiled by bothpanies, and they were all people who were interested in donating. The rest of the uncertain people would not appear on the list, in case they had no intention of donating and it would be awkward. After the host looked at the name list, he nced at the seats below the stage and said with a smile,¡±¡±Next up ... Let¡¯s invite President Qiao from Xing Yuan design toe on stage!¡± ¡°Me?¡± Joes¡¯s pupils shrank in surprise. She had indeed intended to donate, but she did not expect herself to be the first one. She furrowed her brows and nced at Zheng Zeyi subconsciously. Her instincts told her that this was definitely the work of a certain man! As expected, Zheng Zeyi nodded and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, I¡¯m the one who put you first. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go with you. ¡± Worried that Qiao sisi would be nervous, Zheng Zeyi stood up considerately and held her hand as they walked up the stage. Their actions instantly ignited the entire Charity Association! Chen zuolin¡¯s left hand clenched into a fist as he stared at the two holding hands. His eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief. ¡°Sisi ... Is she really with him?¡± Chen zuolin had a voice in his heart, but he didn¡¯t want to believe it. He had started liking joesse since a year ago, but he did not expect Zheng Zeyi to steal her away. Apart from Chen zuolin, there were many more people who were more shocked than him. Many women who had the intention of seducing Zheng Zeyi could not help but re at Qiao sisi, who was dressed to the nines. Now that Zheng Zeyi had a girlfriend, it was naturally impossible for him to be with anyone else. The whispers below the stage grew louder and louder, and even Joes, who was standing on the stage, could hear a few words. ¡°President Zheng actually has a girlfriend? Oh my God, I¡¯ve never heard of it. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I thought President Zheng didn¡¯t get close to women? Why does he suddenly have a girlfriend? why do I feel like something is wrong?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? he¡¯s just having a girlfriend. I heard that she¡¯s his fianc¨¦e.¡± Fianc¨¦e?!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The corner of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. This was the disadvantage of not making it public. She would be surrounded and watched like a monkey every time. Forget about that. Were they afraid that he couldn¡¯t hear them when they spoke so loudly? ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous,¡± Zheng Zeyi noticed his wife¡¯s strange behavior. He tightened his grip on her hand and a smile appeared on his lips. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Qiao si wanted to say that she was not nervous, but she swallowed her words when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression. Then, she took a deep breath and took the microphone from the host.¡±¡±Hello, distinguished guests. I¡¯m joesse from Xing Yuan¡¯s designs. The person beside me ... You all should know that he is the president of the Zheng¡¯s group and my boyfriend, Zheng Zeyi. ¡± As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent. His own guess was one thing, but it was another to hear it from Joes¡¯s mouth. Zheng Zeyi looked at joesse with a pampering smile. Everyone who saw this scene was not a fool. They could tell if it was real or fake. Joesse did not want to delve into what the people below the stage were thinking and continued,¡±¡±This is Xingyuan¡¯s first time participating in the charity Association. As the president, I also want to do my part for charity. I can only say that I¡¯ve done my best. Hence, Xing Yuan will donate 20 million to design. ¡± After saying that, joesse returned the microphone to the emcee. The donation of 20 million Yuan was also the result of her careful consideration. Xing Yuan design was already on the right track. He was also starting to make a profit, and he was no longer sitting around and eating. 20 million was indeed a big move for the Xing Yuan design, but it would not affect the current operation. ¡°Alright!¡± Someone in the audience cheered, and the rest of the people apuded. The whole audience¡¯s apuse was thunderous and resounded through the sky. Joes was a little dazed. She did not expect the response from these people below the stage to be so enthusiastic. However, she quickly understood that the ¡°okay¡± was said by old master Tian to liven up the atmosphere for her. Star dors design had only been in operation for a few months. Old master Tian was extremely impressed by joesse¡¯s courage to donate 20 million. ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡± Joes smiled with a tinge of sincerity. She did not stay on stage for long and returned to the audience with Zheng ze. What she did not know was that in a certain corner of the hall, Jiang hai was already sweating profusely and did not know what to say. Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter 437-a lot of effort

¡°This B * tch ... Is President Zheng¡¯s girlfriend?!¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s breathing quickened. He had never thought of this possibility. At most, he thought that it might be rted to Chen zuolin, but it turned out to be even scarier than he had imagined. With this identity, could he afford to offend her? Jiang hai swallowed his saliva and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The words that Joes had told him a few days ago were still fresh in his mind. As long as he did not donate 10 million, the evidence would be exposed on the inte. At that time, he would be almost ruined. ¡°No, it seems that I have to take out this ten million. I¡¯ll just take it as I¡¯m saving myself from a disaster!¡± Very quickly, Jiang hai gritted his teeth and made up his mind. No matter what, money was not as important as himself. It was only possible to continue making money if there were people around. Jiang Hai¡¯s mind began to race as he considered paying a price to buy the evidence from joesse. He knew that money could make the devil turn millstones. If it doesn¡¯t work, it means that you haven¡¯t given enough. ...... After Qiao si got off the stage, she sat next to Zheng Zeyi and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m done with the first donation. I can take a break now. ¡± ¡°Do you want to go down and eat something?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as well. He ruffled Qiao sisi¡¯s hair and said in a very doting manner. He was talking about the buffet restaurant downstairs. However, Joes shook her head.¡±I¡¯ll go downter. It¡¯s not good for me to leave now that the match has just started.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Zheng ze was very obedient to Qiao sisi, which made her smile even wider. After all, the charity event had just started and Jossi was not very hungry. It would not be toote to go down when it was almost over. From a distance, a pair of eyes watched their intimate actions, and a sense of loss lingered around them. Chen zuolin let out a long sigh and retracted his gaze. After the charity event was over, he wanted to hear Jossi say something personally. ¡°Perhaps a year of secret love will end today ...¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes dimmed. Everyone present had their own thoughts. After Qiao sisi, the emcee continued to read out the names on the list. The second person to go on stage was old master Tian. Old master Tian smiled and said,¡±I¡¯ll cut to the chase. I¡¯ve been to this charity event almost every time.¡± This time ... I¡¯ll donate 50 million Yuan on behalf of my aerospacepany. ¡± 50 million! Although everyone was shocked, they were not as surprised as before. This was because old master Tian had always donated 40 million Yuan or so in the past years. He was very supportive of charity. ¡°As expected of old master Tian!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Old master Tian is much better than us. He doese to support the charity every year.¡± Old master Tian had heard the praises from the audience. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t praise me, I¡¯m just doing what I can. ¡± With that, he left the stage. After that, a few otherpany bosses and rich kids came on stage one after another. The amount of donations was not low either, basically all of them were above ten million. After more than a dozen people had passed, the number slowly decreased until it reached a few million. Not everyone was that rich. If they were willing to donate, it meant that they had done their best. They didn¡¯t care how much they donated. Until Jiang hai went on stage. His muscr figure immediately attracted joesse¡¯s attention. She could not help but raise her eyebrows and turn her gaze to the stage. ¡°He¡¯s the one from Jianghai, Zeyi. I told you about himst time. ¡± To prevent Zheng ze from forgetting about this person, Joes specially reminded him softly by his ear. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll remember. ¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Joes nodded and did not say anything else. She looked at Jiang hai on stage to see what he was going to do. Since Jianghai was here and on stage, he would definitely donate the ten million Yuan. However, Joes had never thought of letting Jianghai off the hook. If he still stayed, that would be cruel to himself. When the design n was leaked, if not for Joes who found out about it in thepany and finally found Long Qian, they probably would not have known that it was Jianghai who was behind the n. Now that joessi had something on Jianghai city, she would not havepromised otherwise. ¡°President Jiang, please speak.¡± The emceeughed as he passed the microphone to Jiang hai. Jiang Hai¡¯s expression was a little stiff, but he still tried his best to suppress his emotions and forced a smile. ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m President Jiang from the Jiang Corporation. Since everyone has contributed so much to charity, I can¡¯t fall behind too much. This time ... I will donate 10 million Yuan on behalf of the Jiang Corporation!¡± Sure enough! When Jiang hai said this, many people began to doubt if the person on the stage was the real Jiang hai. In previous years, he had not even donated a million Yuan, let alone ten million. The Jiang Corporation was not too bad, and it was not like they could not fork out a million dors. However, Jiang hai did not care about his reputation, so he naturally chose not to donate. To everyone¡¯s surprise, he actually donated 10 million Yuan this time! Ten times that of a million! ¡°Is this the real Jianghai?¡± Some people in the audience began to doubt. ¡°Jianghai is really open-minded this time. It¡¯s at least ten times more open-minded than before,¡± someone even chimed in. ¡°It¡¯s more than ten times. He used to donate more than 500000 Yuan in the past. I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s so generous this time.¡± The others felt that it was strange, except for Joes, who looked down and tried to hide the smile in her heart. Her goal ... Had been achieved! She did not care how much Jianghai donated in the past, but this time, it had to be within her control. ¡°Ten million? It seems like director Jiang has put in a lot of effort for this charity event. ¡± The host said in surprise. Seeing the shocked expressions below the stage, Jiang Hai¡¯s expression turned awkward. He nodded and left the stage without saying anything more. Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, he finally returned to his seat. After that, thest remaining people also went on stage to donate, and the charity event was considered over. If all of them were added up, there would be at least 700 to 800 million Yuan, which could be used to do many things. ¡°Thank you for your generosity. We will remember your contributions and show them to the people who have received your help.¡± After the host expressed his gratitude, he said a few routine words before letting the crowd leave. After the charity event ended, it was time to go to the buffet restaurant downstairs. Other than the charity Association¡¯s distinguished guests, no one else was allowed to enter. Chapter 437

Chapter 437: I want to exchange for that document

¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to eat something good. ¡± As soon as Zheng ze stood up, joesse quickly stood up as well. She held his hand and smiled.¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. Naturally, there was no need to pay the bill at the buffet restaurant. After all, the guests who came basically donated a lot. If he still had to pay, he would seem narrow-minded. Of course ... Not all of these people had donated. If they did not donate and still came to freeload, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s image would be ruined even if he did not remember them. After taking the elevator down, Zheng Zeyi and joesse entered the buffet restaurant together. The decoration style of this restaurant was simr to that of the Royal Restaurant. They were both extremely gorgeous and luxurious. After Joes entered, her eyes immediately lit up. She looked around and felt her hunger rising. ¡°Where do you want to sit?¡± After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si thought for a moment, then pointed to the seat by the window and said,¡±¡±Sit there.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After the two of them sat down, they picked up the menu. They could either get the dishes themselves or ask the waiter to serve them. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi were the first to arrive at the buffet restaurant, followed by the other members of the kindness Association. ...... Only old master Tian went back first. He had a weak stomach and was not used to eating these things. Only Chen zuolin remained on the upper floor. His face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood. ¡°Sisi ...¡± Chen zuolin muttered joesse¡¯s name as he clenched his left hand into a fist. The veins on his hand could be clearly seen. The reason why he stopped here and didn¡¯t go to the buffet restaurant immediately was that he wanted to calm down. In fact, Chen zuolin could already confirm that Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si did not seem to be lying when they were holding hands. It waspletely different from a year ago. After sitting in the same ce for a long time, Chen zuolin finally mustered the courage to get up and walk toward the elevator. He still wanted to hear it from joesse personally, no matter what the final oue was. ¡­¡­¡­ At the buffet restaurant. The waiter came to the table where Joes and grace were and asked respectfully,¡±¡±My two guests, may I know what you need?¡± Jossi pointed at a steak on the menu and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll have this steak, medium well, and a ss of orange juice.¡± ¡°Alright, miss. What about this gentleman?¡± The waiter¡¯s gaze fell on Zheng Zeyi. Joesse closed the menu and blinked at Zheng ze, asking,¡±¡±Zeyi, what do you want to eat?¡± ¡°The same as you.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled, the smile at the corner of his mouth bing more and more indulgent. After the waiter received the message, he took the initiative to leave. He even emphasized that the dishes would be served in five minutes at most. In the meantime, Joes took a nce at the beautiful scenery outside the window. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance. It was Jiang hai. Why was he looking at this ce? Jossi furrowed her brows. Seeing that Jiang hai seemed to have something to say, she put down her phone. ¡°Ze Yi, that Jiang hai seems to have something to say to me. I¡¯ll go and take a look. Wait for me here.¡± After saying that, Joes prepared to get up. However, Zheng Zeyi stopped her. His eyes darkened as he asked,¡±¡±Sisi, do you need me to go with you?¡± He was still a little worried about Jossi facing Jianghai alone. After all, she was his wife. Moreover, it was a well-known fact that Jianghai city was not a good person. Seeing that Zheng Zeyi was so worried about her, joesse smiled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. You don¡¯t have toe with me. I¡¯ll go alone. He won¡¯t dare to do anything in public. I¡¯ll tell you what happened when Ie back. ¡± After talking to Zheng Zeyi, joesse walked towards Jianghai and saw that his expression had changed. ¡°President Qiao!¡± Jiang hai quickly extended his hand to greet her before leading joesse to a corner of the restaurant. Even though it was in a corner, it was still within Zheng Zeyi¡¯s line of sight, so he was still quietly observing. The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward. Upon seeing Jianghai, Joes¡¯s face turned cold. She stared at him and asked,¡±¡±Is there anything I can help you with?¡± ¡°President Qiao, I ... I do have something to ask you.¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s attitude changed. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment and smiled in a fawning manner,¡±President Qiao, didn¡¯t you tell me to donate 10 million Yuan to the charity Association? You see, I did donate it today. So, can you keep the document a secret?¡± ¡°Which document?¡± Jossi pretended not to understand. Jiang hai had a bad feeling about this and forced a smile. ¡°It¡¯s the document that President Qiao showed me at the coffee shop.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re talking about that document, I remember now.¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes deliberately dragged out thest syble. She smiled and said,¡±director Jiang, I forgot to remind you. The deal we madest time was that as long as you don¡¯t donate 10 million, I won¡¯t disclose the documents.¡± But that doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯ll give you the document just because you¡¯ve donated. ¡± ¡°You!¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s expression froze. He knew that things would not be so simple. This B * tch! Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes turned red and he red at Joes. After he had calmed himself down, he said,¡±¡±Then what do I have to do for you to give me the document?¡± ¡°The way you talk to me is really making things difficult for me.¡± Joes curled her lips. At this moment, she was already strategizing. With that document, it was equivalent to having the initiative. Jianghai was something that could not be escaped from, and Joes had no intention of doing anything to him. Even the existence of the Jiang Corporation should not be controlled by Jiang hai. Who knew how much money he had embezzled in secret? ording to the evidence that joesse had obtained, there was at least 20 million Yuan, all of which were taken from various projects. On the other hand, these projects might have some safety issues, which were greatly reduced because of Jianghai. This was something that Joes could not tolerate. She had also asked the private detective fromst time to investigate this matter, in order to get more detailed evidence. After he made Jianghai spit out the money he had embezzled, he could go to jail! With a myriad of thoughts in her mind, Joes¡¯s gaze towards Jianghai turned cold, sending chills down one¡¯s spine. Jiang hai gritted his teeth and changed his attitude. He forced a smile and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, I was wrong just now. Please don¡¯t take it to heart. I¡¯m here to ask you, what does President Qiao need? If it¡¯s possible, I would like to exchange for that document. ¡± Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Chapter 439-what else can I do

¡°This is more like it.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. She crossed her arms and pondered for a moment. Then, she looked at Jianghai, as if she could see through his dirty heart. Jiang hai could not help but feel a little guilty as he said,¡±¡±President Qiao, why do you keep looking at me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Joris pouted and retracted her gaze before asking,¡±¡±Then let me ask you, how much are you willing to pay for this document?¡± These words were meant to test Jianghai¡¯s bottom line. Joes was no fool. Although it seemed like Jiang hai was the one in charge of the Jiang Corporation, there were still quite a number of people watching them. There was a limit to what he could take out. He had taken out ten million this time, but he might not be able to take out more. ¡°At most ...¡± Jiang hai pondered for a while and said unwillingly,¡±¡±I can only take out 10 million at most.¡± In addition to the donation from the charity Club, he had spent a total of 20 million Yuan on this document! Just thinking about it made Jiang Hai¡¯s heart ache, and his hatred for joesse deepened. However, on the surface, Qiao sisi was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e, not a friend. ...... This identity was enough to make Jianghai fear her. Even if he had the guts, he would not dare to do anything to Joes. ¡°Ten million?¡± Joes¡¯s expression seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, and her eyes were very bright.¡±Are you sure you¡¯re telling me the truth?¡± ¡°This ... Is the truth.¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes flickered as he purposely avoided her gaze to give himself some confidence. In fact, he also knew that there were too many loopholes in his words. Joes was no fool. Ten million was only a small portion of the money that Jianghai embezzled. Not even a third. It would be a huge loss if they were tricked by Jianghai¡¯s current appearance. Joes squinted her eyes slightly and a dangerous aura emanated from her body, which was extremely simr to Zheng Zeyi. She sneered and said,¡±director Jiang, I¡¯m quite generous. I¡¯ll give you onest chance.¡± How much are you willing to pay for this document? If you can¡¯t give me the answer I want, don¡¯t even think about getting this document!¡± Joes was not joking with Jiang hai, her tone was firm. She looked at Jianghai, worried that he would not believe her. She reached for her phone in her pocket. Seeing this, Jiang hai started to panic. His fingers started to tremble as he thought about this. ¡°This woman ... She¡¯s really going to be exposed!¡± Jiang hai was certain of this. His impression of Joes was now that of a demon. Joes waited for him for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said,¡±¡± 40 million is really the most I can give at the moment. There are also some ongoing projects in thepany that need cash flow. I can¡¯t possibly take all the time for them. ¡± After saying that, he looked at Jossi with a pleading expression. Hearing Jiang Hai¡¯s words, Joes¡¯s lips curled into a smile,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to act so pitiful. You¡¯re corrupt. Why didn¡¯t you think of this when you took the money from the project? And don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you were the one who instigated others to leak ourpany¡¯s design drawings. Don¡¯t treat others like fools! We agreed on 40 million, not a single cent less. ¡± With that, joesse had no intention of continuing the conversation with Jiang hai. She returned to her seat by the window and smiled at Zheng ze, who had been waiting for her. Jianghai was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°She knows everything!¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes were as wide as copper bells as he stared at Joes, not daring to look away. Thest time they had a discussion in the caf¨¦, Joes did not mention the leaked design n. Jiang hai still held a trace of hope. They felt that this woman had failed to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and as a result, she was pped in the face today! It seemed like he had to find a way to gather the money. However, if he really gave out all 40 million, Jianghai would have no money left. How he should choose was all his own thoughts. ¡°The steak is done. Eat it.¡± When Qiao si si was not around, Zheng Zeyi considerately helped her cut most of the steak into pieces. This was because Qiao sisi had mentioned it to Zheng Zeyi before. She felt that it would be troublesome, but she did not expect him to remember such a small sentence so clearly. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes picked up the knife and fork at the side, picked up a piece of steak, and put it in her mouth. The texture was fresh and tender, and it was more delicious than I had imagined. After all, this was the buffet restaurant downstairs of the charity Association. If the quality was too low, it would not meet the standards. Joes was a little hungry and quickly finished the steak on her te. She took a sip of the orange juice. The taste of the fresh fruit made her close her eyesfortably, and the sweet taste spread in her heart. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up as he picked up the tissue beside him and said,¡±¡±Sisi, turn your head around.¡± ¡°What?¡± Qiao si turned her head, but before she could react, Zheng Zeyi used a tissue to wipe away the juice at the corner of her mouth. His fingertips identally touched her cheek, making her heart tremble. ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s every move exuded an air of elegance. After he was done, he put the paper aside. However, Qiao sisi¡¯s face immediately turned red. She looked away slightly and did not look at Zheng Zeyi. This was the scene that Chen zuolin saw when he first arrived at the buffet restaurant to look for Joes. His eyes darkened and even his footsteps slowed down involuntarily. He was worried that he would be disturbing Joes if he went over like this. Chen zuolin lowered his eyes, hiding theplicated emotions in them. Just as he stopped moving, Jossi noticed his presence. She put down the ss of orange juice in her hand and greeted him,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, you¡¯re here too.¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Chen zuolin suddenly raised his head and saw Jossi¡¯s sweet smile. He was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to a year ago. Thinking of this, Chen zuolin raised the corner of his mouth and nodded,¡±Yeah sisi, I¡¯m here too.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi frowned and said,¡±¡±Chief Chen, why are you here?¡± One was wee, while the other was not. Facing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gloomy face, Chen zuolin smiled and chose a seat not far away. He said,¡±¡±I¡¯m also here to eat. ¡± What else could they do in this buffet restaurant besides eating? Joesse took a sip of her orange juice and said with a smile,¡±¡±By the way, big brother Chen, why did you enter sote today?¡± ¡°I was held up by something this morning, but it¡¯s been resolved now. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Chen zuolin and Qiao sisi¡¯s conversation made Zheng Zeyi clench his fists. He was so angry that he did not want to speak at all. Chapter 439

Chapter 439: Do you still want to continue to endure?

After sitting for a while, Chen zuolin also ordered a steak. Just as joesse was about to speak to him, she was interrupted by Zheng Zeyi. He said with a dark expression,¡±Sisi, have you forgotten that we have something to do this afternoon?¡± His entire body was exuding a depressed aura, and even joesse could sense that something was wrong. King of jealousy! Qiao si cursed in her heart, but she knew that Zheng Zeyi was jealous because of Chen zuolin. If it was someone else, they might not be like this. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s heart softened a little and she agreed,¡±¡±Now that you mention it, I remember. Since we¡¯ve finished eating, let¡¯s go now. ¡± In reality, he had nothing to do. It was only because Zheng Zeyi did not want to stay here any longer. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Zheng ze¡¯s expression finally softened a little when he saw that Joes was agreeing with him. He got up and prepared to leave with Joes. Joesse stopped in her tracks and smiled at Chen zuolin, saying,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, we still have some matters to attend to, so we¡¯ll be leaving first. If there¡¯s a chance next time, let¡¯s have a meal together. ¡± ...... ¡°...Alright.¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s smile was a little stiff. It waspletely different from the smile that he usually had when he smiled because of joesse. He swallowed the question he had wanted to ask. In the current situation, it seemed that there was no need to ask anymore. The answer was already in front of him. Chen zuolin felt that the steak on his te was tasteless as he watched Qiao sisi and Zheng ze leave. After a few bites, he stood up and left the charity Association¡¯s venue, heading towards the Chen family¡¯s Vi. At that moment, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were sitting in the car. After she got into the front passenger seat, she fastened her seat belt. As soon as she turned her head, she saw a handsome face magnified several times in front of her. Their thin lips were just inches away from each other, as if they would touch in the next second. As the hot air blew onto her face, joesse could feel her heart beating faster, as if there was a deer running around. ¡°You ... What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zheng Zeyi frowned and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t like it when you¡¯re so close to that Chen guy.¡± ¡°Intimate?¡± Joes could not believe what she had just heard. Was she and Chen zuolin close? Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face darkened and he did not say anything. Looking at this scene, joesse felt a little helpless and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, brother Chen and I are just ordinary friends. Then I promise you, if I go out with brother Chen next time or do anything else, I¡¯ll let you know in advance, okay?¡± At the end of her sentence, Qiao sisi looked at Zheng Zeyi pitifully. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart could not help but soften. After hesitating for a while, he agreed,¡±¡±Okay, but you have to tell me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Joes vowed. After settling this matter, Zheng Zeyi started the car and brought Joes out for a drive. At the same time, Jiang hai had already returned to the Jiang Corporation. ¡­¡­¡­ Jiang Corporation, top floor office. Jiang hai sat in his office chair and looked at the list handed in by the finance department with a dark expression. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. A man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. After he entered, he asked respectfully,¡±¡±President Jiang, is there anything you need me to do?¡± He was the head of the finance department of the Jiang Corporation. Jiang hai was silent for a moment before asking,¡±¡±How much money can thepany transfer?¡± The head of the finance department was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised two fingers and said,¡±¡±Minister, it¡¯s only 10 million.¡± ¡°Why is there only 10 million left?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes widened. He mmed the table and stood up in disbelief. Last time, he had even specially checked it. There was clearly a gap of 40 million, but now there was only 10 million left. Seeing how agitated Jiang hai was, the head of the finance department gulped and took a step back.¡±¡±President, it¡¯s like this. We originally had 50 million Yuan to transfer. But President, you¡¯ve donated 10 million to the charity, and you haven¡¯t used the remaining 40 million yet. ¡± ¡°Where did the other 30 million go?¡± Jiang hai gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. Thepany¡¯s money had suddenly disappeared. How could he ept this? The head of the finance department hesitated for a moment and said,¡±¡±Yesterday ... The president¡¯s wife came to thepany and invested the remaining 30 million into a project.¡± ¡°Pa!¡± In the next moment, a loud sound was heard. Jiang hai was so angry that he threw all the documents on his desk to the ground. The office was in a mess. His eyes were bloodshot as he shouted angrily,¡±¡±Who allowed her to touch that money without my permission?¡± ¡°But ... President, I can¡¯t reject you.¡± The head of the finance department had an ugly expression on his face. There was still something that he had kept in his heart. The entirepany knew that the CEO¡¯s wife held the majority of thepany¡¯s shares. If he didn¡¯t let her move the funds, then he really couldn¡¯t continue to work in thepany. ¡°Get lost!¡± Jiang hai didn¡¯t want to see the head of the finance department anymore. After he finished speaking, he left the office dejectedly. After that, Jiang hai took a deep breath and sat on the chair, thinking about what he should do about this. Joes had asked for 40 million, but there was only 10 million left in thepany. Jianghai was only putting on a show of power. He would never ask his wife for money. He could only think of a way to start with Jossi. ¡°How about ... I call her and discuss it with her?¡± Jiang hai looked at the phone on the table. After a moment, he dismissed the idea. Earlier at the buffet restaurant, Joes had already made it clear that if she angered him, she would not have a good ending either. Jiang hai was physically and mentally exhausted. He massaged his temples, feeling as if there was no ce that could hold him. ¡°That document ...¡± Jiang hai squinted his eyes as he thought of Jossi¡¯s confident look. A thought then surfaced in his mind. Being forced to this point, was he really going to continue to endure? At this point, Jiang hai could not take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and picked up his phone. He found a person in his contact list. Instead of calling him directly, he sent a text message and waited for a reply. Only by erasing the backup of that document would he be truly safe. As for the person behind Joes, Jianghai no longer had the time to care about that. This B * tch can¡¯t stay! A dangerous glint shed across Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes as he ced his phone back on the table. Chapter 440 - How did you know?

Chapter 440: How did you know?

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. In the past few days, nothing big had happened. Even Zhu Di seemed to have disappeared without a trace. He did not look for trouble with Qiao sisi, nor did he look for Zheng Zeyi. As for star Yuan design, business was getting better and better these days. The shop was almost ready, and joesse was ready to open for business. It was just that she hadn¡¯t decided on a time yet. These few days, she often went to observe the shop to make sure that there were no problems with the decoration and jewelry. She had just arrived at the office that morning. ¡°Good Morning, President.¡± ¡°Good Morning, President.¡± ¡°Good morning to you too.¡± Joes smiled and walked straight towards the elevator, taking it up. When she arrived at the office, she found Miley waiting at the door. Seeing this, Joes asked in confusion,¡±¡±Miley, what¡¯s wrong? Do you have something to tell me?¡± ¡°President, President Zheng sent someone to thepany this morning,¡± Millie said, nodding. ¡°What is it?¡± ...... Joes, who was filled with questions, followed Millie into the office and saw a square-shaped instrument on the table. From the outside, one could tell that this equipment was not simple. There was also a piece of paper at the side. Joes frowned slightly and took the paper down. There wasn¡¯t much written on the note, only the URL of a website. ¡°What kind of website is this?¡± Joesse took a closer look at the website. Since it was sent by Zheng Zeyi, it should be useful. She kept the note. However, what confused Qiao sisi was that Zheng Zeyi had never told her about this. Without any warning, the device was sent over. Joes ¡®brows gradually rxed as she asked,¡±¡±Miley, did President Zheng¡¯s people say what this was when they sent it over?¡± It looked like an instrument to check the quality of jewelry. Miley thought for a moment and said,¡±the one who gave us the equipment was president Zheng¡¯s assistant, li. He said that this is thetest developed equipment to test jewelry.¡± There aren¡¯t many of them at the moment, only a few foreign and domesticpanies have them, and they¡¯ve been confirmed to be of very high quality. ¡± Extremely high quality. This was the instrument. Joes nodded her head slightly, indicating that she understood.¡±¡±Okay, then you can go and take a look.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie didn¡¯t stay any longer. She left the office and returned to her job. Joes did not remember to test out the equipment. Instead, she held the piece of paper in her hand and walked to theputer, entering the website address. After clicking on the jump page, she waited for two seconds before a brand new page appeared before her. She was attracted by the content almost at first nce. She sat down directly and began to read it seriously. It was a website for jewelry designers. Not counting the ones that had just been established, they had been established for some time and were more famous than expected. Only truly capable jewelry designers could leave their names on this website, including his representative works. Joes looked at them with ravenous eyes and saw many of the designers she was familiar with, even their works. The website used three different grades to differentiate the quality of jewelry, namely low, medium, and high. The three qualities were also divided into 10% to 100% perfection. The quality of the jewelry was rted to the materials, cutting, polishing, and so on. In short, they could not do without any of them. Jewelry design was not as simple as it looked on the surface. Just drawing a design would do. After reading it, the corners of Qiao sisi¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. She was now certain that Zheng Zeyi had found this website for her. The current Jossi was still unable to leave her name on the website, as she did not have any representative work of her own. ¡°This is ...¡± Joesse clicked on the top designer Rankings and even saw a few designers who had passed away. Although they were no longer in this world, the jewelry they left behind would always be in people¡¯s hearts. In particr, the person at the top of the list was a foreign designer. The jewelry he designed was once known as the Emperor of the jewelry industry. Even now, it could be sold at a sky-high price, and there were not many people who could afford it. ¡°Let¡¯s try the ¡®deep sea¡¯ series and see what level it can reach. ¡± Joes had an idea in her mind and quickly got up to take the deep-sea series jewelry from the cab. All they had to do was put the jewelry into the instrument and wait for another minute to see the results. After taking out a ne, Joes carefully ced it into the device. Then, she turned off the device and waited for the final result. A minuteter. Joes looked at the words that appeared on the device in anticipation. ...70% high quality! 70%! ¡°F * ck!¡± Joes was extremely excited. Even on that website, there were not many pieces of jewelry that could reach this quality. But her deep sea series had reached this quality! Joes suppressed her excitement and ced the other pieces of jewelry in. To her surprise, all of them were of high quality. Not only that, but the degree of perfection was not low. This also meant that joesse¡¯s efforts were not in vain. The deep sea series could directly be her representative work. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Joesse smiled and ced the deep sea series back into the box, locking it in the cab. She would only bring the deep-sea series to the store on the day it opened for business to prevent any idents from happening. After the test, joesse called Zheng Zeyi and asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, your equipment is here. I¡¯ve tested it.¡± ¡°How is it?¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled. This kind of equipment was very important, and only a few domestic jewelry designpanies could get their hands on it. However, Zheng ze had the ability to do so, and since Joes was a designer in this area, he naturally gave priority to his fianc¨¦e. Upon hearing that, Joes deliberately kept him in suspense and said,¡±¡±Can you guess what quality the jewelry I designed has reached?¡± Zheng Zeyi pondered for a moment and asked after some deliberation,¡±¡±High quality?¡± Joesse was speechless. She controlled the urge to roll her eyes. It was as if she had suddenly lost the feeling of excitement she had just now. This was because Zheng Zeyi had guessed it right. It was indeed of high quality. ¡°How did you know?¡± Joes pouted. Zheng Zeyi smiled dotingly, his voice extremely gentle.¡±¡±I can¡¯t help but guess. Your voice tells me that you¡¯re happy.¡± That made sense! Joes nodded her head in a serious manner.¡±¡±Since you¡¯ve already guessed it, I have nothing else to say. I¡¯ll hang up first, see you tonight!¡± Chapter 441

Chapter 441: This thing is not heavy

Without waiting for Zheng ze¡¯s reply, Jossi hung up the phone. Zheng Zeyi felt a little helpless as he looked at his phone that kept toot. He put his phone away. This little woman ... Was going to deal with her tonight! During this period of time, their feelings for each other were like a thin stream that flowed for a long time, and they became more and more tender. After the call, Joes did not hesitate to bring the device to the public office on the second floor, exposing it to everyone. Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened, and she stood up immediately and asked,¡±¡±President, What is this?¡± Wang Li, who was sitting beside her, had some spections after seeing the instrument, but she did not say anything. Other than the two of them, everyone else in the office was curious. ¡°That¡¯s right, President. What is this? we¡¯ve never seen it before.¡± ¡°It looks like ... It¡¯s a very high-end instrument.¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, joesse waved her hand and smiled,¡±¡±Everyone, please be quiet. I¡¯ll exin.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Everyone in the office was very understanding. They all quieted down and listened to their CEO¡¯s speech attentively. ...... It was clear that joesse still had an extremely authoritative presence in thepany. ¡°The president of the Zheng¡¯s group, my fianc¨¦, gave this to me to check the jewelry.¡± At this point, before joesse could continue, she noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of a few people. They seemed to be sighing. After all, she was already together with Zheng Zeyi, so it was normal for the employees to gossip. ¡°Ahem.¡± Joes cleared her throat and pretended to be serious. Only then did everyone quiet down. She continued,¡±¡±This equipment is imported, and there are only a few jewelry designpanies in the country that can get their hands on it. We didn¡¯t get it because of luck, but because of President Zheng¡¯s help. You Must Remember This. ¡± She paused.¡±This instrument¡¯s ability to detect the quality of jewelry is obvious to all. I¡¯ve tested it just now.¡± After that, Joes told the employees of thepany about the different grades of jewelry. These were all things that they had to know. As a jewelry designer, they had to master these things to the extreme. After she finished speaking, everyone was very surprised, including Lin ya and Huo yunshen. Lin ya was a little excited. She took a step forward and said,¡±¡±Then, President, if we produce other products next time, can we put them in the equipment to test the quality?¡± ¡°President, I want to as well!¡± ¡°If I can see the quality of my jewelry, I¡¯ll know how much more I have to improve!¡± In an instant, everyone was excited. Since Joes had brought the equipment here, it meant that she had the same intention. Otherwise, he could have juste over and said a few words, and he wouldn¡¯t have to waste his energy moving the equipment over. It was a good thing to let these people know what level he was at. At the thought of this, the corners of joesse¡¯s lips curled up into a smile. She said,¡±¡±Of course you can. I¡¯ll ask Millie to put the instrument in the monitoring room. When the timees, whoever wants to apply will need to report to ... Wang Li in advance. ¡± After scanning the crowd, Joes¡¯s gaze fell on Wang Li and she quickly decided on her candidate. Wang Li had yet to react. She pointed at herself in disbelief and asked,¡±¡±President, do I look after this device?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Joes nodded her head with certainty. In fact, she was quite clear about Wang Li¡¯s ability. Even when she was in Shiyu¡¯spany, she was not much worse. However, she still had the temper of a spoiled youngdy at the time. After spending a year with Lin ya, she had disappeared. Jossi could not just leave such a talent aside and not use her. ¡°But ... President, I still don¡¯t know how to use this machine.¡± Wang Li was a little conflicted. Before Joes could say anything, Lin ya patted her on the shoulder and said,¡±¡±Why are you so nervous? the president has already said so, why don¡¯t you just agree? It¡¯s fine even if you don¡¯t know. You can learn, right?¡± Joesse smiled.¡±Lin ya is right. You can learn them. I can teach you if you don¡¯t know how to.¡± To the outside world, Joes acted as if she had already learned it. In fact, other than checking the quality of the jewelry, she was not very clear about the other functions of the instrument. Other than the two of them, the other people in the office incited Wang Li to take on the job. They were all colleagues from the same office and had been working together for so long. If Wang Li were to look after this equipment, it might be more convenient for them. Seeing that everyone was saying so, Wang Li was also a little helpless. She could only nod and agree.¡±¡±Alright, President.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Joes¡¯s smile deepened as she picked up the device beside her. As she walked, she said,¡±¡±Then, Wang Li,e with me for a moment.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Wang Li quickly got up and was about to leave when she received a look from Lin ya, as if she was hinting at something. She stopped in her tracks, pursed her lips, and left as if she had not seen anything. Lin ya, on the other hand, was a little confused. She scratched her head in confusion. ¡°Did Lili see it?¡± Sighing slowly, Lin ya didn¡¯t do anything else. She sat in front of theputer, hoping that Wang Li would ask joesse. When the store opened for business, she and Wang Li wanted to go and help. On the other side. Joes carried the equipment and prepared to move it to a new, empty office. It would be considered a monitoring room. ¡°President, do you need my help?¡± Wang Li¡¯s mouth twitched. Looking at joesse¡¯s figure carrying such a huge piece of equipment, he felt that it was somewhat out of ce. Joes immediately shook her head and said,¡±¡±No need, we¡¯ll be there soon. This thing isn¡¯t heavy.¡± It just looked a Little Big, but it wasn¡¯t as heavy as he thought it would be. The two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the empty office. Joes ced the instrument on the table and heaved a sigh of relief. She wiped the sweat off her forehead. The office had been kept as a backup, so no one had used it until now. The renovation upstairs would bepleted soon, and there was not much work left, so the equipment would only be here for a few days. They did not need a good environment. After all, they would have to move up in the future, including Joes¡¯s CEO office, which would be moved to the top floor. At that time, Xing Yuan design would be considered to have truly entered the ranks of bigpanies. Not anypany could buy such a building. Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 443-truly rich and imposing

¡°We¡¯re here. ¡± Joes leaned against the table and smiled at Wang Li. Wang Li nodded slightly and asked,¡±¡±President, in the future ... Should I continue to stay there or in this office?¡± After hearing that, joesse thought for a while and said,¡±¡±Stay there for a while, but I¡¯ll leave the equipment to you. When the decoration upstairs is done and the equipment is moved upstairs, you will have your own office. ¡± ¡°Thank you, President.¡± Wang Li gave a rare smile. With her own office, she could stay away from the Chatterbox Lin ya. She felt that calluses were about to form in her ears from the constant talking. Joes nced at her and seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. She smiled and said,¡±¡±When we go back, let Lin ya know. She has one too, so don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Wang Li nodded. The two of them were considered the founding members of Xing Yuan¡¯s design team. Even if they had an office before the others, no one would say anything. Moreover, the two of them were indeed quite capable. They had trained for a while in Shiyupany before. Since they were willing toe to star dors design, joesse would not mistreat them. ...... After she briefly exined what had happened in the office, Wang Li looked at the equipment and asked curiously,¡±¡±President ...¡± Before he could finish, Joes waved her hand and said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to call me President when there¡¯s no one around. You can just call me sisi.¡± Wang Li was stunned for a moment before she smiled.¡±¡±Alright, sisi.¡± They had a good rtionship and were good friends outside thepany. Unless there was someone around, he had to call her President and just put on a front. There was no need to be so distant when there was no one around. ¡°Sisi, how do I use this instrument? It¡¯s my first time seeing it too. I¡¯ve heard about it at home, but I don¡¯t have the ability to get it yet. ¡± Wang Li said. Her family¡¯s power was not considered weak, butpared to Zheng Zeyi, there was still a huge gap. Hearing this, a smile shed across Joes¡¯s eyes, and she said very generously,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll tell you the truth. Don¡¯t me me.¡± What? Wang Li could not react in time. Jossi did not give her a chance.¡±I only know how to check the quality of jewelry with this equipment. I don¡¯t know anything else about its other functions.¡± ¡°You only know how to test the quality?¡± Wang Li was a little speechless, but her reaction was calmer than she had imagined. It wasn¡¯t that she hadn¡¯t thought of this possibility. ¡°That¡¯s right. That¡¯s why I need you to think about it carefully. This is the instruction manual. Take a look.¡± After saying that, joesse took out a thick instruction manual from her pocket. Wang Li nodded. Without any hesitation, she immediately took the instruction manual and read it carefully. In the meantime, he even got closer to the instrument and studied the buttons and functions on it. Looking at this, joesse was rather satisfied. It seemed like choosing Wang Li as The Guardian was the right choice. ¡°Wang Li, I¡¯ll leave the matters here to you. I still have to make a trip to the store. It¡¯s about to open for business.¡± Joes took a look at the time on her watch. It was already twoo¡¯ clock in the afternoon, and it was time for her to go to the shop. . Wang Li gave her an ok gesture and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, sisi. Leave this to me.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be leaving then.¡± Joes swung her car keys and left star Yuan design under Wang Li¡¯s gaze. She didn¡¯t stay idle either. After her CEO left, no one disturbed her. She immersed herself in understanding the instruction manual. In just an hour, he had more or less figured out the functions, including how to maintain them. By the time Joes returned, she would probably be shocked. ¡­¡­¡­ At this time, the Qiao family had also undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhao Hai ¡®er had provided some things to the Qiao family. It was just that it wasn¡¯t expensive, and some furniture had been changed. In the past few days, Zhao Hai ¡®er had received another 50000 Yuan from Qian Yu. She had 250000 Yuan on her. It was impossible for her to provide the Qiao family with this money. It was all a backup n for herself. As for the 100000 Yuan for the Qiao family, he could only ask Qian Yu for it. That day, Zhao Hai ¡®er invited Qian Yu out, saying that they would go to the hotel after shopping. After all, this was the reason they were together. If it wasn¡¯t for her young body, Qian Yu wouldn¡¯t have chosen to keep her. ¡°Brother Qian.¡± Standing at the entrance of the mall, Zhao Hai ¡®er held Qian Yu¡¯s hand and said,¡±¡±I want to go in and take a look. Come with me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going, you can go by yourself. ¡± Qian Yu was a little reluctant to go to the mall with Zhao Hai ¡®er. After fumbling around in his pocket for a while, he gave her a card and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s 100000 Yuan in here, you can use it first. If it¡¯s not enough, give me a call, okay?¡± ¡°Alright, thank you, brother Qian!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er happily took the bank card from Qian Yu and gave him a kiss on the cheek,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go in first, brother Qian.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Qian Yu sat in the car, watching Zhao Hai ¡®er enter the mall. He then looked away, his eyes darkening. It was fine if he was having fun in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hotel, as no one could see him. But outside, Qian Yu could not be so unscrupulous. After all, he was not a single man like Zhao Hai ¡®er had imagined. If they were discovered, it would be a difficult thing to do. Zhao Hai ¡®er had no idea about this. She kept the card in her bag after she entered the mall. The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile. By now, she had already received more than 300000 Yuan. This Qian Yu was really rich and overbearing. No matter what, Zhao Hai ¡®er felt that it was a wise decision to go to a nightclub. If she hadn¡¯t met Qian Yu there, she probably wouldn¡¯t have any money on her. And he was probably still working, working himself to death every day, yet he only earned 3000 Yuan a month. Then, she would be able to dress herself up every day, and all she needed to do was to sleep with Qian Yu. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes glowed. She tidied her clothes and walked to the nearest clothing store. But what she didn¡¯t notice was that there was a figure quietly following behind her, as if following her. After entering the clothing store, Zhao Hai ¡®er casually picked out clothes from the clothing section. She would look around from time to time, and from time to time, she would look elsewhere. Moreover, she was looking at some very revealing clothes, including some sexy clothes. She didn¡¯t miss any of them. Chapter 443 - The vip seats

Chapter 443: The vip seats

Since she wanted to get more money from Qian Yu, Zhao Hai ¡®er would have to spend more effort. Zhao Hai ¡®er would only feel at ease with the money in her hands. After picking out a few pieces of sexy clothes, she smiled and took the clothes to the counter to pay. ¡°How much is it?¡± Unlike before, Zhao Hai ¡®er was rich now, and she spoke with more confidence, her tone casual. The cashier nced at the sexy clothes, and her expression didn¡¯t seem abnormal. She politely said,¡±¡±Sir, the total is 400 dors.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay by card. ¡± After that, Zhao Hai ¡®er took out a card from her bag and kept the bag of clothes. During this time, she was taken a photo by someone hidden in the store and kept as evidence. This included the time when Qian Yu gave Zhao Hai ¡®er his bank card, and even the time when they went to the hotel together. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er waspletely unaware of this. ¡°Next ... Let¡¯s go for a cup of coffee.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er looked at the time. It was only twoo¡¯ clock. It wasn¡¯t toote, so it wasn¡¯t a big deal to have Qian Yu wait outside. ...... Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s lips curled up when she imagined him seeing the things she had bought that night. As long as she could make this man happy, she would be able to get more money and would not have to be afraid. She was already sick of living such a life in the Qiao family. Zhao Hai ¡®er sat in the caf¨¦ for a while. After finishing her coffee, she went shopping again. It was just that she didn¡¯t spend much on buying things. She wanted to keep the money and use it as her capital. She only left the shopping mall after half an hour. The person who had been following them finally left with all the photos he had taken, satisfied. ¡­¡­¡­ Outside the mall. Zhao Hai ¡®er carried all sorts of things back to the car, and she identally revealed the bag of lingerie. Qian Yu, who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, saw the set of clothes with mixed emotions. His eyes darkened and were filled with some kind of desire. He pursed his lips and suppressed some thoughts in his heart. He squeezed out a smile and asked,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, what did you buy?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er smiled and said,¡±¡±Brother Qian, I¡¯ve just bought some clothes. I¡¯ll send them to youter. It¡¯s also good for you to help me evaluate which one looks better. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Qian Yu unconsciously swallowed his saliva. This woman was really more yful than he had imagined. However, this was also good. It was more interesting to y with. If it were someone else, he might not even be interested. Thinking of this, Qian Yu started the car and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the hotel. ¡± ¡°Alright, brother Qian.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er smiled shyly. The two of them left for the hotel. Little did they know that they had been watching the whole time. He was the only one who thought that he had kept Zhao Hai ¡®er as his mistress a secret. A woman¡¯s sixth sense was not just for show. However, the person behind this wasn¡¯t ready to make a move yet. He still hoped to collect more evidence. Joes had some understanding of Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s matters, but not as much as she did. Even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t care too much. At this moment, she had already arrived at the shop. Li Chang happened to be counting a batch of goods that had just been delivered to the shop. He caught a glimpse of Joes ¡®figure and quickly greeted her,¡±¡±President Qiao, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yes, store manager li. How¡¯s the store today?¡± Joes chuckled and nced at the clean box on the ground. It looked like it had just been delivered. Li Chang did not hide anything. After hearing this, he reported the day¡¯s events to Joes. Everything in the store was running as usual, and he had also solved the problem of employee recruitment long ago. In order to open early. Joes was rather satisfied as she smiled and said,¡±¡±I think manager Li Li is much more capable than I thought.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, President Qiao. ¡± Li Chang said humbly. Joes also took a look around the shop. It was many times better than it was at the beginning. The jewelry that should be on disy had already been ced in the ss cab, and could be clearly seen through the clean ss. Even though Joes had not tested the quality of these pieces of jewelry, she was certain that they were not of low quality. Low-quality jewelry was the real low-endmon jewelry in the market. Joes ¡®shop did have some cheap jewelry, but that did not mean that the quality of the jewelry would be too low. It could only be said to have lowered the price. Joes seemed to have suddenly recalled something and asked,¡±¡±By the way, manager li, have you considered the previous VIP membership system?¡± Li Chang nodded slightly.¡±¡±President Qiao, I have a rough n. Do you want toe with me to take a look?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After that, Joes followed Li Chang to his office. There was aputer and a few documents on the table. And the proposal was on theputer. The two of them came to theputer. Li Chang¡¯s face was calm as he operated theputer and started to y apleted PowerPoint presentation. During this period of time, he had carefully thought about the vip system in the shop and recorded many of his ideas. Now that Joes was here, as the boss, he naturally had to ask for her opinion. As the PowerPoint was being yed, Li Chang said,¡±¡±President Qiao, my thoughts on the vip system actually stopped at the previous member system. However, we can make some minor changes to our shop. ¡± After that, he stopped the PowerPoint presentation on a screen. Joes furrowed her brows slightly. After taking a look, she more or less understood what Li Chang was trying to do. ¡°You mean ... We should set up some vip seats that only a few people can reach?¡± This was also a way of saying that the rarer something was, the more precious it would be. Li Chang nodded.¡±I¡¯ve almost finished the system. You can take a look, President Qiao.¡± In the time that followed, the dutiful store manager li revealed all of her ideas and refreshed Joes ¡®understanding of the VIP system. His thoughts were inclined to some of the systems in the game. First of all, as long as one spent 50000 Yuan in the store, they could activate the vip card and the point system. As long as he started, he would be able to obtain 200 points. Points could be used to exchange for skincare products and other items. Apart from this function, points could also be used to exchange for jewelry. Of course, the premise was that you had enough points and your vip level had reached a certain level. Then, you would receive gifts. Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Please don¡¯t be polite with me

In short, there were many rules and other systems. Li Chang took the trouble to exin them to Joes, afraid that she would not understand. By the end, Joes¡¯s ears were about to turn into calluses. She squeezed out a smile and said to Li Chang,¡±¡±Manager Li, I think we can try all the ns you¡¯ve mentioned. They¡¯re all good ideas, and we can try them out to see how popr they are. ¡± After hearing joesse¡¯s suggestion, Li Chang became a little excited.¡±¡±President Qiao, so you¡¯re saying that you agree to all of these proposals?¡± ¡°He agreed!¡± Joes immediately nodded her head and agreed to the few proposals. Although she wasn¡¯t very good at business management, Li Chang was a professional in this area, so he naturally knew more than her. It was not as if Joes had not considered these systems before, and they were all worth trying. ¡°That¡¯s great, President Qiao. ¡± Li Chang smiled and closed the PowerPoint. Joes smiled.¡±I¡¯ll leave this to you then, manager li. I¡¯ll be more at ease if you handle it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao. ¡± Li Chang was very experienced in this kind of thing. He nodded and promised solemnly, even rubbing his fists. ...... It took him a long time toe up with this system. The point system was a bit old-fashioned, but it was very new in other aspects. As long as he gave it a try on the day of the store¡¯s opening, he would know if the system was suitable for the store. ¡°All the best, I have faith in you. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Joes cheered for Li Chang. After she greeted him, she did not stay in the shop but returned to the star Yuan design shop. Jossi was pretty much used to her life during this period of time. She basically ran between the two ces, going to thepany and the shop from time to time. Overall, it wasn¡¯t tiring, but it wasn¡¯t easy either. Besides, Li Chang had just booked the vip system, so there were still many things to do. She would be in the way if she stayed there. When Jossi returned to thepany, Wang Li was still in the same office, but she had more or less figured out how to use the equipment. ¡°How is it? have you finished reading the instruction manual?¡± Joes asked with a smile. Wang Li gave her an unexpected answer. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯ve more or less mastered it. If there are no problems, you can try it out.¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± The smile on Joes¡¯s face froze for a moment. If not for the inappropriate setting, she would have suspected that something was stuck in her ears. It didn¡¯t even take her an hour to go back and forth from the shop. In such a short period of time, Wang Li had managed to master such a thick manual? Just thinking about it made Jossi a little surprised. However, Wang Li was very determined, and there was even a hint of a smile in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m a top student, after all. You¡¯re looking down on me too much.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Qiao si raised her eyebrows. Wang Li¡¯s academic qualifications were much higher than she had imagined, so there was no need for her to be too surprised. After that, Wang Li exined the function of the machine to joesse from the perspective of an experienced person who had read the manual. Compared to the jewelry that she knew before, this instrument could also identify whether it was real or fake. In short, it had a lot of functions, and its name as a high-end instrument was not in vain. ¡°It¡¯s indeed a valuable piece of equipment. ¡± Qiao si sighed in her heart. It seemed like she had to have a good talk with Zheng Zeyi when she returned. Even he had to put in a lot of effort to get his hands on this equipment. The two of them were indeed a couple now, but joesse did not want to be the one to demand. It seemed like ... She would have to bring Zheng ze out for a while tonight. Qiao SI¡¯s mind started to be active. A certain President Zheng, who was handling documents in thepany, had no idea what his woman was thinking. As the saying goes, a woman¡¯s heart is unfathomable. After listening to Wang Li¡¯s words, Joes was even more certain of her ability. She patted Wang Li¡¯s shoulder and said,¡±¡±Lili, I made the right decision to give you the device.¡± ¡°...Fine, it¡¯s just that Lin ya doesn¡¯t understand. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t havee.¡± Wang Li almost rolled her eyes. It sounded like a very troublesome thing to manage the equipment and the people who used it. The two of them hadn¡¯t spent time together for a long time, and it seemed as if they had returned to the time when they participated in the program together a year ago. They were more intimate now. At this time, Wang Li suddenly remembered what Lin ya had repeatedly told her to do. She hesitated for a moment and decided to ask. Anyway, she just said that it was Lin ya¡¯s idea. She didn¡¯t mean that. Well ... Definitely not! After rejecting her own idea in her heart, Wang Li deliberated for a moment and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, I have a question for you.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Joesse was a little confused. Wang Li¡¯s solemn expression made her feel that it might not be a simple matter. Thinking of this, she said with a smile,¡±¡±Lili, if there¡¯s anything you need, just tell me. What¡¯s the rtionship between the two of us? do we need to hide it?¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll get straight to the point.¡± Wang Li nodded and told him everything.¡±¡±The jewelry store is about to open. Lin ya and I want to go and have a look. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything we can do to help. She and I will help too. ¡± Although he said that, the two of them knew what he meant. Lin ya just wanted to join in the fun, and Wang Li had the same idea. After all, there were also pieces of jewelry that she had designed. If they could see their customers ¡®reactions, they would naturally be very happy. Upon hearing that, Joes was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and waved her hand, saying,¡±¡±I thought it was something big when you said that. This is a small matter. If you want to go, you can go anytime. You don¡¯t have to ask for leave from the HR department. Thepany and the store are closely rted. ¡± Jossi had given the two founding members of thepany plenty of benefits. ¡°Is it really alright?¡± Wang Li was also a little surprised. She felt that it was a little inappropriate to leave thepany without permission. In the next second, joesse¡¯s eyes, which contained a hint of a smile,nded on Wang Li.¡±¡±You¡¯re being too polite with me. Have you forgotten what happened a year ago?¡± That night, the three of them stayed in the same hotel room. It was also that time that the three of them had a deeper bond and became true friends who talked about everything. Wang Li¡¯s heart calmed down a little. She nodded and smiled.¡±Since our President Qiao has said so, then I won¡¯t be polite with you.¡± ¡°Of course, don¡¯t stand on ceremony with me!¡± Joes blinked her eyes, looking rather yful. Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Five fingers

After discussing this matter with Wang Li, she left the office for the time being and was ready to inform Lin ya of the good news. Joesse smiled as she watched her leave. She nced at the phone in her pocket and hesitated for a moment before picking it up. ¡± The dial tone rang and Zheng Zeyi picked up almost instantly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, sisi?¡± he asked with a smile.¡±Why did you call me all of a sudden? I remember that you were quite busy just now.¡± Zheng Zeyi was referring to how quickly Qiao sisi had hung up on him. He had always held grudges, but he didn¡¯t take this matter to heart. He just used it to tease his wife. Joes paused for a moment, then said embarrassedly,¡±¡±You¡¯re so generous, I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t take such a small matter to heart, right?¡± ¡°I will.¡± F * ck! This answer made Jossi lose all hope. This man was really vengeful. She pursed her lips and thought for a while before asking,¡±¡±Do you want to take me out to y tonight?¡± ...... It brought with it a sense of gritting teeth. Zheng Zeyi seemed to be pleased as heughed in a low voice. Hisughter was very maic and it sounded like it was ringing in his ears. Even joesse felt a tingling sensation as she sighed in her heart. This was indeed a monster! ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take you out to y tonight.¡± He had deliberately emphasized the word ¡°bring.¡± Joesse was slightly overjoyed as she nodded and said,¡±¡±Do you want me to pick you up tonight?¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go.¡± Zheng Zeyi interrupted joesse¡¯s words. Thest time he asked Qiao sisi toe over to pick him up, she almost caught a cold. Zheng Zeyi was already very distressed. Therefore, he would not let such a thing happen a second time. Zheng Zeyi would be in charge of picking them up. Moreover ... He had not been to the Xing Yuan designpany for a long time. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were a little deep. He had to dere his sovereignty to prevent people from always thinking about his woman. This idea was clearly aimed at Chen zuolin. If Chen zuolin had not been coveting joesse, Zheng Zeyi would not have gone to this extent. On the phone, Qiao sisi did not argue with Zheng ze. If he wanted toe, she would let him. ¡°Sure. Then, my dear Zeyi, can I hang up now? ¡®Joesse blinked her eyes. ¡°Sure.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. He could not help but imagine his wife¡¯s cute little face. After he hung up, he did not put down his phone. Instead, he opened his photo album. Other than the recent photos of Joes that he had secretly taken, there were even some from before, including a ... Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw the photo. He cleared his throat and put his phone away, pretending to be calm. In reality, his heart was already in a state of shock, and he could not wait to see Joes right now. The photo was taken a year ago. That night, Jossi must have been too busy with work. She fell asleep immediately after returning to the apartment and did not even close the door properly. In addition, the wind was stronger that night, and the door was blown open. Zheng ze was worried that Joes would catch a cold, so he went over to take a look. In the end, she saw a certain someone drooling in her sleep. . At that time, Zheng Zeyi thought it was very interesting and wanted to take a photo of it to keep as a dark history for joesse on his phone. In the end, because of joesse¡¯s poor sleeping posture that night, she made a small move during the filming. In an instant, Zheng Zeyi had taken a picture of something he should not have. Of course ... It wasn¡¯t a secret photo. It was just that some of her clothes had been pulled off, making it more seductive. The moment Zheng ze thought of deleting the message, his fingers stopped on the delete button and he could not bear to press it. In the end, he could only give up. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened as he took another look at the photo. His maicughter echoed in the office. ¡°It¡¯s time to let her truly understand our rtionship. ¡± His slender fingers stopped by his lips. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes were extremely dark, and he was suppressing a storm-like aura. Joes did not know about any of this. After the call, she ran to deal with some documents in thepany. There were still a lot of things to deal with in thepany. As thepany¡¯s president, she naturally could not rx. Jossi was still in a good mood as she had agreed to go out with Zheng ze that night. She kept smiling. Even doing things. They seemed to have more motivation. And at this moment, someone who had his eyes on her had already begun to do some unspeakable things behind her back. ¡­¡­¡­ In the small vi. This was another vi that he had bought in Jianghai. It was considered a ce that no one knew about. The living room was filled with smoke, and some people in dirty clothes with many tattoos on their bodies were sitting on the sofa. If a normal person smelled the thick smoke, they would probably feel nauseated, but these people seemed to be used to it. This included Jiang hai, who was taking a drag on his cigarette, looking as if he was enjoying himself. ¡°Tell us, director Jiang. Why did you suddenly look for us this time?¡± After the leader took a puff, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. Then, he turned to look at Jiang hai. This was also a money jar, so it was naturally better not to offend him. His underlings were standing beside the leader, and their majestic appearance made a strange look sh across Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes. ¡°With these people here, that B * tch is definitely going to die, right?¡± Jiang hai thought to himself, but he still put on a smile and said, ¡°There¡¯s something I need your help with. Of course, the reward will not be small. ¡± ¡°How much?¡± The leader raised his eyebrows, obviously very concerned about this matter. If the remuneration was not to their satisfaction, they would not ept this business. These people were active in the gray area of city h and had great power. Many people didn¡¯t dare to provoke them. Jiang hai had chosen to look for them because he hoped to use money to settle this matter. Since Jianghai city could not fork out forty million dors that Joes wanted, he might as well use a portion of the money to hire someone to kill Joes! He would also destroy that document to prevent any future trouble! Jiang hai hid the hatred in his eyes and smiled.¡±¡±If you can help me, I can give you five million.¡± He stretched out five fingers. Five million was not a small sum even for them. The leader¡¯s expression froze, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he continued to ask,¡±¡±Alright, we¡¯ll take this order. Tell us what you need us to do.¡± The leader¡¯s interest was piqued as well. He remembered that Jianghai had said that he would help him get rid of an annoying woman, and that he still had some bargaining chips in his hands. Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Not Miley

At that time, Jianghai did not exin it clearly, so the leader did not understand the situation. He only felt that the mission seemed to be easier than he had imagined. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be direct.¡± Jiang hai nodded. Then, he told them everything without leaving out a single detail. He gritted his teeth when he mentioned Joes. ¡°I don¡¯t know where that woman got the evidence about me, so I need you to get rid of her and destroy the evidence. Everyone here is a Big Shot in city H. If five million is not enough, we can discuss the price again. ¡± Jiang Hai¡¯sst sentence was obviously just a courtesy. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the shrewd boss of the Dragon head actually believed him. He even extended two fingers.¡±Increase the price by two million and we¡¯ll help you deal with it.¡± ¡°Two million?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes widened in shock. These people were as greedy as that B * tch Joes! That B * tch wanted 40 million, but these people wanted 7 million! Even though it was a rtively small number, it was enough to make Jianghai feel the pinch for a while. ¡°What, you¡¯re not willing?¡± ...... The leader was no fool. After seeing Jiang Hai¡¯s expression, he immediately became dissatisfied. Did they really think he was a fool? It was not a loss to kill this girl with five million, but he wanted to earn more. Without waiting for a reply from Jianghai, the leader sneered and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think that we don¡¯t know anything. We¡¯re all from city h, so knowing things that we should know can be fatal sometimes. ¡± ¡°What ... What are you talking about?¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s mouth twitched, pretending that he did not understand. But he did understand. In order to get rid of Jossi, Jianghai had also concealed a crucial piece of information that was enough to kill her! The leader¡¯s expression turned even colder as he stared at Jianghai.¡±¡±This woman has an extremely powerful boyfriend behind her. Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯re also in city h, so it¡¯s impossible that you don¡¯t know him. We can¡¯t afford to offend that man. ¡± The leader¡¯s eyes were filled with fear when he mentioned Zheng Zeyi. It could be seen how famous Zheng Zeyi was. However, none of them, including Qiao sisi, knew about one important thing. That was, the president of the Zheng¡¯s group was only one of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s identities. He had another identity that he had not used for many years. But this time ... It seemed that someone was about to touch the minefield. After hearing the leader¡¯s words, Jianghai¡¯s eyes shed with panic. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said,¡±¡±I know him, I know him. I just forgot to mention it.¡± ¡°Since President Jiang is not sincere, then there is no need to do business with us. Let¡¯s go!¡± The leader made a prompt decision. He got up and prepared to leave with his underlings. He was also a little angry. Seeing this, Jiang Hai¡¯s eyes were as big as copper bells. He quickly stood up and stopped them. ¡°This ... I just didn¡¯t say it,¡± he said awkwardly.¡±President Zheng is indeed behind this woman. This is not an easy thing to deal with.¡± ¡°Not easy to deal with?¡± The leader¡¯s smile turned even colder. ¡°He¡¯s more than difficult to deal with. If we didn¡¯tck money, we wouldn¡¯t even want to deal with that man. If he were to make a move and discover our existence, do you think a few million would be enough?¡± Naturally, he could not. . Zheng Zeyi had never been short of money, not in the past, and even more so now. On the other hand, whoever touched his woman would definitely end up worse than death. ¡°We¡¯ve just finished this one job and are about to escape the country. If you can¡¯t afford it, we won¡¯t take it.¡± The leader said. At this moment, it was already toote to stop. Jiang hai struggled for a while before he finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said,¡±Fine, 7 million it is, but you have to make sure that woman won¡¯t live. And that document must be destroyed as well. That¡¯s my request. After it¡¯s done, I¡¯ll give you another three million. ¡± The sum of the two was ten million. In order to get rid of joesse, Jianghai had spent a lot of money. However, he did not know if this money would be of any use. Hearing this, the leader was finally a little satisfied and said,¡±¡±Deal. Then, director Jiang, our deal is settled. I¡¯ll let director Jiang know when I¡¯m ready to take action after I¡¯ve investigated the situation. ¡± ¡°As soon as possible,¡± After reaching an agreement, Jianghai sent the group of demons away. If not for the fact that he wanted to deal with Joes and was even more confident, he would not have worked with these people who were in the gray area. Who knew if they would be targeted? That document had always been a huge hidden danger. At the same time, joesse was still working in thepany, but it was almost time to get off work. Just as he had said, Zheng Zeyi drove toward the Xingyuan hotel. He was extremely fast and arrived in a few minutes. Under everyone¡¯s surprised gaze, Zheng Zeyi took steady steps into the elevator. Finally, he stopped in front of the office. He did not ask the front desk downstairs to report to Joes. He wanted to go up and take a look himself. ¡°President Zheng?¡± At the door, Millie noticed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s figure immediately and asked in surprise,¡±¡±President Zheng, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°Shh.¡± Zheng Zeyi shot her a nce and made a shushing gesture. Miley nodded her head and did not say anything else. She naturally knew that Zheng Zeyi was her president¡¯s boyfriend. Therefore, when she saw this, she consciously retreated. As for informing joesse ... She had never thought about it. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± In the quiet office, a clear knock suddenly sounded. Joes put down the documents in her hands and raised her eyes slightly, thinking that the person who hade might be Miley. ¡°Come in,¡± After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to read the document in her hand. Then, the office door was slowly pushed open, followed by a series of steady footsteps. It soundedpletely different from Millie¡¯s usual footsteps. However, joesse¡¯s mind was too focused on the documents to notice it. ¡°By the way, Millie, have you found the information I just asked you to check? You can just print it out in a document and give it to me. ¡± Joes did not notice the person who had arrived. After signing a document, she closed it without hesitation. There was no response for a long time. Joes furrowed her brows slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a shadow covered her, and she finally noticed the abnormality. It wasn¡¯t Millie! As this thought appeared in her mind, Joris¡¯s thoughts started to spin. She quickly raised her head and saw a familiar handsome face. She was instantly stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say. Chapter 447

Chapter 447: I still missed you in the end

She blinked her eyes, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn¡¯t help but reveal a pleasantly surprised expression. The next moment, her white chin was lifted. Zheng Zeyi was very close to her, and the faint scent of Cologne filled the air, making her feel rxed and happy. ¡°President Qiao, what information?¡± A maic voice rang in her ears, and joesse¡¯s face turned slightly red as she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just ... Some information about some projects. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile widened when he heard that. He pecked her on her red lips. The taste was very good. If it wasn¡¯t for the inappropriate asion and the fact that they still had time to spend together at night, Zheng Zeyi would be reluctant to let go. After letting go of her chin, Zheng Zeyi no longer had to support himself on the desk. He straightened his body and looked straight at Qiao sisi. Her skin was very white and tender, so much so that even a very light pinch just now had left a red mark on her chin. Joes did not notice it and calmed down after blushing. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened. His Adam¡¯s apple moved as if he was swallowing his saliva. ¡°Zeyi, why are you here so quickly?¡± Jossi asked curiously as she started to clear the documents that were scattered on the table. ...... Zheng Zeyi smirked.¡±Mydy, it¡¯s almost Sixo¡¯ clock. Is it still early?¡± It¡¯s Sixo¡¯ clock? Surprised, Joes hurriedly raised her head to look at the time, only to realize that it was already Sixo¡¯ clock. ¡°As expected, I forgot the time!¡± Joes smacked her head in frustration. Indeed, she had lost track of time when she was busy. It was normal for Zheng Zeyi to be here now. ¡°Give me a moment.¡± After saying that, Joes packed her things as quickly as she could and casually picked up her bag. After he was done, he heaved a sigh of relief. Zheng Zeyi was very tall, at least 1.85 meters. Standing next to him, she was the cutest. However, Joes felt that she was a head shorter than him. She blinked her eyes and said,¡±¡±Where do you want to go tonight?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you,¡± Zheng Zeyi threw out this answer almost without any hesitation. Since it was Jossi who had chosen to ask him out, then the time and ce should be decided by her. Joes thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed the case. She then said,¡±¡±Okay, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to my favorite barbecue.¡± ¡°Barbeque?¡± Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows for a moment before he was dragged out of Xing Yuan design by joesse. The two of them attracted the attention of many employees in thepany. Compared to before, it was much calmer. However, as Joes and grace walked down the street hand in hand, many people turned their heads around. The night breeze carried ayer of winter clothes, and when it blew over, it felt as if all the fatigue in her body had been blown away. Joes closed her eyes infort. After she regained her senses, she said to the person beside her,¡±¡±I¡¯ve been busy in thepany recently, so I didn¡¯t go to any ces in city H. But I know a really good barbeque stand not far away. Do you want me to take you there to try it?¡± Zheng Zeyi lowered his eyes slightly and met those bright eyes. For some reason, he nodded and unconsciously said,¡±okay.¡± As a member of the Zheng family, Zheng Zeyi had never eaten from these roadside stalls before. However, after he met joesse, he had gotten used to it. In addition to the roadside stall this time, there were many other things that he could choose to try. ¡­¡­¡­ Chen n. Ever since the incident at the kindness Association, Chen zuolin had not been to thepany for a few days. He locked himself in the study room day and night, and even the servants of the vi sent in batches of wine. It had been so many days, so Qi Yan was naturally worried. This was her son. For so many years, he had never lost control like this. It was almost the first time he had encountered it. After Qi Yan calmed down, she began to think about what Chen zuolin had encountered. But he didn¡¯t get any answers. She asked Chen zuolin¡¯s personal assistant what had happened recently. She only knew that the president had be like this after attending a charity event. ¡°The kindness Association, what happened?¡± Qi Yan frowned and didn¡¯t continue to think about it. She took the food that the housekeeper had prepared and went upstairs. She hadn¡¯t eaten for a few days, and she was really worried that her son¡¯s body couldn¡¯t take it. ¡°Da da da.¡± A series of footsteps sounded. Qi Yan stopped in front of the study room. Even standing outside the door, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol. For some reason, it was a little pungent. Qi Yan felt that something was wrong. Chen zuolin had drunk so much wine this time. Something big must have happened! Her expression changed instantly. She ignored the things in her hand and used her other hand to knock on the door. After a long knock on the door, Chen zuolin¡¯s hoarse voice came from inside,¡±Mom, you don¡¯t have to give me anything.¡± As expected, they were mother and son. In a short time, Chen zuolin had already guessed who they were. Not only that, he could even guess what Qi Yan wanted to do. ¡°Son, what¡¯s wrong with you these days?¡± Qi Yan furrowed his brows tightly, and a deep frown appeared between his brows. The person in the room was silent for a long time before finally saying, ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± It was just three words, but many stories could be heard from them. Qi Yan let out a long sigh. She knew her son¡¯s personality very well. She put the food at the door and said,¡±¡±Zuolin, if there¡¯s anything, you can just tell mom.¡± However, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t seem to have this intention. He picked up a bottle of wine and wiped the corner of his mouth after chugging it down. He didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of speaking. And the cause of all this was naturally Jossi. Chen zuolin didn¡¯t need to ask anymore. He had seen a lot of things during the kindness Association. Joesse did not need him. She was already with Zheng Zeyi, and he ... Was just an extra. ¡°Heh, in the end, I still missed you.¡± Chen zuolin was holding a wine bottle. Through the bottle, one could vaguely see the wine inside shaking. He took a sip and didn¡¯t dy any further. He put the bottle aside and got up to open the door. Chen zuolin had been dispirited for many days, but he knew that he couldn¡¯t continue like this. Not only would his family be worried, Joes would definitely not want to see him in this state. ¡°Son? Can you hear me?¡± Just as Qi Yan¡¯s cries were in vain, the door to the study room suddenly opened with a creak. Qi Yan waspletely stunned when she saw the figure walking out of the kitchen. She almost dropped the food in her hands, but she managed to hold it in the end. Chapter 448

Chapter 448: You¡¯re quite good at talking

Chen zuolin¡¯s face was very Haggard, and there was some stubble on his face. It looked like he hadn¡¯t shaved for a few days. However, it didn¡¯t reduce his appearance. Instead, it added some charm to him. Qi Yan naturally did not notice this. She only noticed that her son had not been doing well these days. ¡°Zuolin, you ... What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qi Yan¡¯s heart ached. Chen zuolin slightly shook his head and calmly said,¡±Mom, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that something happened recently.¡± As for what it was, Chen zuolin had no intention of telling Qi Yan. This was his own matter, and he would resolve it. It was enough to be dispirited for a few days. He couldn¡¯t give up on himself just like that. Seeing this, Qi Yan sighed and didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she said,¡±¡±Since you don¡¯t want to tell me, I won¡¯t ask. These are the dishes that mom asked the helper to make. They¡¯re still warm. You haven¡¯t been eating well these few days, so hurry up and eat some. ¡± Surprisingly, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t refute him. He nodded and said,¡±Alright,¡± he said. Seeing this, Qi Yan, who was worried about Chen zuolin, quickly walked into the study and put the food on the table. When she turned around, she happened to sweep her gaze across the study room that was filled with wine bottles. She could not help but hold her forehead helplessly. This son of his had been rational for so long. What had he lost to? ...... The room was filled with the strong smell of tobo and wine. Even though Chen zuolin had opened the window, the smell did not dissipate. It wasn¡¯t that Qi Yan felt ufortable, but there were too many bottles on the ground. At a nce, there were at least thirty bottles of wine, and they were all red wine. ¡°Zuolin, if you don¡¯t mind, can you tell me what happened?¡± Qi Yan said with a pleading tone. Chen zuolin fell silent. He walked to the desk, picked up the water on it, and took a sip. His hoarse voice rang out,¡±¡±Mom, how does it feel when the person you like is with someone else?¡± ¡°What?¡± Qi Yan didn¡¯t know what was going on for a while, but after thinking about it, she finally understood. Her ... Her son had found someone he liked? Qi Yan had never thought about this. After all these years, she had been trying to find a girlfriend for her son. In the end, Chen zuolin didn¡¯t even take a fancy to any of them. He was extremely cold to them. If she hadn¡¯t confirmed Chen zuolin¡¯s sexual orientation, Qi Yan would have suspected that he liked men. This was his biological mother. If even his own mother thought so, then there was no need to mention those who were not familiar with Chen zuolin. There were still many rumors behind the scenes. Qi Yan almost coughed. She patted her chest and asked in shock,¡±¡±Zuolin, you mean you have a girl you like?¡± His tone was as if he had just heard some shocking news. Chen zuolin raised his eyes and nced at his mother. Although he felt a bit helpless, he still nodded and said indifferently,¡±Yes.¡± To be precise, he had a girl he liked a year ago. However, the revolution was not sessful, and Zheng Zeyi was one step ahead of her, causing Jossi to be his girlfriend. Thinking of this, Chen zuolin couldn¡¯t help but feel a little dejected, and his eyes darkened. ¡°Who is it? Is it the little girl who came to our housest time?¡± Qi Yan knew her son quite well, so she quickly guessed that it might be Jossi. The reason was very simple. Chen zuolin had almost never brought a girl home. Joes was the first one, but Qi Yan did not want her to be thest. It was obvious that Chen zuolin had broken up with someone, and it was the kind that was hard to recover. ¡°It¡¯s her,¡± Regarding this matter, Chen zuolin generously admitted to it. Qi Yan quickly figured out some of the problems. After hesitating for a moment, she asked,¡±¡±Zuolin, did your confession fail, or ...¡± After a pause, Qi Yan spoke of the possibility that she didn¡¯t want to,¡±Or has sisi already found a boyfriend?¡± Chen zuolin¡¯s eyes narrowed. Qi Yan waited nervously for a long time before he spat out two words,¡±¡±Thetter.¡± Thetter ... Didn¡¯t this mean that Jossi had already found a boyfriend?! Qi Yan¡¯s pupils shrank, and she was a little disappointed. To be honest, thest time she saw Jossi, she did like this little girl. She was different from thedies in the circle, but she made people feelfortable. If she could be with Chen zuolin, Qi Yan would support her with both hands and feet. However, it seemed that the possibility was slim. Qi Yan slowly sighed and patted Chen zuolin¡¯s shoulder,¡±Zuolin, I can understand your feelings. However, you can¡¯t continue to be so dispirited. Since sisi has a boyfriend, you can¡¯t keep wasting your time. ¡± As if he had touched a certain point in Chen zuolin, he slightly raised his eyes and said with a determined look,¡±I only like her.¡± This wimp! Qi Yan met his eyes and was defeated in the end. Chen zuolin had already expressed his determination that he would not like anyone else other than joesse. However, it was an undeniable fact that she had a boyfriend. ¡°Zuolin, you can¡¯t be so stubborn.¡± Qi Yan still didn¡¯t want to give up and wanted to persuade him. However, Chen zuolin had already seen through her intentions and didn¡¯t give her the chance. He picked up the food on the table and left the study. After thinking about it for so many days, he already had an answer in his heart. The Chen family was in a mess, but Joes was not aware of it. She had just arrived at the lively barbecue stall with Zheng Zeyi. Because of its location and the good taste, there were many people lining up to buy it every day. Even though the line was long, it didn¡¯t affect their desire to eat delicious barbecue. asionally, when joesse got off work, she would not take the bus back to blue sky Apartment. Instead, she woulde here to buy barbecue. Over time, he became quite familiar with the old man who sold barbecue. ¡°Zeyi, how is it? it looks good, right?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents when she smiled. Zheng Zeyi only took a nce at the stall, but most of his attention was still on joesse. He nodded his head and said,¡±¡±You have good taste. The taste is indeed quite fragrant.¡± The two of them had just arrived near the barbecue stall and had not officially eaten yet. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t many people in the line, which was eptable. Joes smiled even more happily when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s praise. She said,¡±¡±Zeyi, you¡¯re quite good at talking sometimes.¡± Chapter 449

Chapter 449: Still want to go in and take a look?

¡°I would also like to show you my other abilities.¡± Of course, Zheng Zeyi did not say this out loud. He only thought about it in his heart. If he were to say it out loud in public, he would probably be lectured by Joes. ¡°Wait for me here, I¡¯m going to line up for the barbecue.¡± Joes seemed to be a little excited. Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si did not dy any further. She immediately squeezed into the crowd and started to line up. There were fewer and fewer people, and soon it was her turn. When the old man who bought the barbecue saw the person, he said with some joy,¡±¡±Little girl, you¡¯re here to buy barbeque again?¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Joes replied with a smile. The old man was also very happy and said directly,¡±¡±Little girl, is today still the same?¡± From that, it was clear that Jossi came to this ce often. Otherwise, she would not be so familiar with it. Joes thought for a moment, then shook her head and said,¡±¡±Sir, give me three more skewers for each serving.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ...... After the old man heard this, he didn¡¯t say anything and directly picked up a te of skewers to roast over the fire. The appetizing seasoning was also sprinkled on the barbecue, and the chopped green onions added a little green color. Joes swallowed her saliva as she watched. She had not had dinner that night, and the barbeque had triggered her appetite. After the system was done roasting, he very considerately put everything into a paper bag. This was also an essential item for joesse every time she had a barbeque. She would usually take it away. ¡°Little girl, I¡¯ve grilled two more kebabs for you. It¡¯s rare for you to bring your boyfriend here, so you should eat more!¡± Sir system¡¯s eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he happily handed the paper bag to joesse. After hearing his words, Joes did not react for a moment. She asked in a daze,¡±¡±Sir, how did you know that I brought my boyfriend along?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not line up with her, so how could this old man who sold barbecue have seen through him? Joes was puzzled, but she quickly paid the system for the barbecue. The old manughed even more happily and said,¡±¡±Sisi, my eyes are still fine. Look over there, your boyfriend¡¯s eyes have never left you from the beginning to the end. He¡¯s holding a bag in his hand, I¡¯ve seen you carry it before. ¡± Upon hearing this, joesse subconsciously turned to look at Zheng Zeyi. In the end, what she saw was exactly the same as what the old man had described. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep eyes were fixed on her. It was as if it had been like this since the beginning. His burning gaze made Joes blush and she pursed her red lips. ¡°What do you think, Sir system, you¡¯re right, right?¡± Sir system was still very proud that it had guessed the truth correctly, so itughed a little smugly. Joes smiled and nodded.¡±Sir, you¡¯re right. That¡¯s my boyfriend.¡± Since you¡¯re busy with your business, I won¡¯t disturb you for the time being. I¡¯lle to patronize your business next time. ¡± ¡°Go, go, girl, take it easy.¡± The number of people in the group increased from this moment on, and Joes was d that she had arrived early. Otherwise, he might not even be able to eat this barbecue. . A momentter, Qiao si carried a bag of barbecue and came to Zheng Zeyi. She waved the bag in her hand and said,¡±¡±So, do you want to eat?¡± I want to eat you. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile had a hint of evilness, and his fiery gaze made even Qiao si feel that something was wrong. She shuddered and pointed to her cheek, asking in confusion,¡±¡±Why are you looking at me like that? is there something on my face?¡± he asked. ¡°No, I didn ¡®t,¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded his head obediently and took the barbeque from joesse¡¯s hands. Looking at the things inside, he raised his eyebrows. Finally, he picked a string of sausages and slowly began to eat. Just as Joes had imagined, his every move carried the aura of a noble. If she had not seen with her own eyes how Zheng ze ate the entire barbeque, she might have suspected that he was eating some exotic food. ¡°Let¡¯s go for a walk. ¡± Joes also picked up amb skewer and ate it with great relish. Then, she strolled around the streets with Zheng Zeyi. The streets were packed with people. Coupled with the fact that Qiao si si and Zheng ze were so good-looking, the number of people who turned their heads was 100%. Many passers-by on the road were staring at them. ¡°Wow, this is a good-looking couple!¡± ¡°I thought only celebrities are so good-looking. It turns out that there are such good-looking couples in real life!¡± A certain infatuated girl kept staring at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back as he left, her eyes full of envy. Other than her, many passers-by were also staring at Zheng ze. He was simply too handsome. Joes was not let off either. She had a tall figure, a beautiful face, and long, slender legs. She was a woman of every man¡¯s dreams. There were also some people who thought that they were being secretive and took out their mobile phones to film the scene of the two people having love. Joes put down her hand that was holding the barbecue and could not help but Twitch her lips. She said awkwardly,¡±¡±These people are really enthusiastic.¡± ¡°Yup ...¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips also curled up inexplicably, because the two of them had stopped in front of a shop. It seemed like Joes had yet to notice the abnormality. She rubbed her chin with her fingers and thought for a while before saying,¡±¡±Let¡¯s find a shop to shop around. It¡¯s a little boring to walk on the street. ¡± ¡°Alright, where do you want to go?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone seemed to be half-smiling, but joesse did not notice anything wrong. She scanned her surroundings and her gazended on the shop beside her. ¡°Then ... What the f * ck?!¡± Initially, Joes wanted to say that since they were fated to meet, they should take a look at the shop next door. But when she turned around, she saw a sex toy shop in the crowded street! That¡¯s right, sex toys! Qiao si si finally understood why Zheng Zeyi hadughed so devilishly just now. It was because of this. He already knew that there was a sex toy shop next door, but he did not say it all along because he wanted to see Jessi make a fool of herself. ¡°Too much!¡± Joes grumbled in her heart and her cheeks could not help but puff up. In Zheng ze¡¯s eyes, however, there was only the word ¡®cute¡¯. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and rubbed joesse¡¯s face as he asked,¡±¡±How is it? do you still want to go in and take a look?¡± Even though it sounded like a question, Joes felt as if she had heard a mockingugh. She knew very well that if she really entered this sex toy store and bought something like a fool ... Chapter 450 - Your own prey

Chapter 450: Your own prey

Joesse was certain that she would not let her off after what happened with Zheng ze tonight. Thinking back to the previous time when they were having a great time, Joes¡¯s legs started to turn weak. She quickly shook her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not going in! I don¡¯t want to go in at all. I just didn¡¯t see it clearly, please don¡¯t misunderstand!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not seem to believe her. Upon seeing this, Joes nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice. She was just short of swearing to prove her innocence. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth,¡± she said with a determined expression.¡±I really don¡¯t want to go in at all.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s eyes darkened and he flicked Joes ¡®nose lovingly.¡±¡±Silly girl, don¡¯t say one thing and mean another,¡± F * ck! ¡°Two-faced, your head!¡± Joes silently cursed, but she did not dare to say it out loud. She pretended to not understand what he was saying. After sessfully teasing Qiao sisi, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mood instantly improved, and his eyes were full of smiles. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you home after we walk around for a while. It¡¯s gettingte.¡± It was rare for Zheng ze to be serious. He did not continue to tease Joes, but held her hand tightly on the street. ...... Feeling the warmth from her palm, Joes calmed down and nodded her head slightly, saying,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. The weather that night was extremely good, and the night sky was filled with stars that could be seen as soon as one looked up. The night breeze also carried a cool smell, which was extremelyfortable. As Jossi and Zheng ze walked, they went from the main street to the ce where the car was parked. ¡°Then send me home.¡± Joes knew that it was gettingte and did not insist on shopping. Instead, she took the initiative to make this request. Zheng Zeyi nced at her and agreed.¡±¡±Alright, get in the car. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± After getting in the car, the two of them set off for the blue sky Apartment. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s car had a faint minty smell, which Qiao Si was very sensitive to. She sniffed it lightly and felt her body and mindfortable. She revealed a smile. ¡°How¡¯s the use of the instrument?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s slender fingers turned the steering wheel. At the same time, he did not forget about Joes and asked about recent events. Jossi¡¯s hand paused for a moment when she picked up the device. She smiled and said,¡±¡±I gave the device to Wang Li and let her learn how to use it. It turns out that my choice was right. She¡¯s learning much faster than I thought, but I haven¡¯t figured it out yet. ¡± At this point, Joes¡¯s smile grew even wider. Zheng ze tilted his head and stared into her eyes. He quickly looked away and his lips curled into a devilish smile. Five minutester, the two of them arrived at the blue sky Apartment. Xiao Hong, who worked at the front desk, had already gotten off work, so there was no one at the front desk. The two of them walked around and entered the elevator. Finally, just as she was about to enter the house, Jossi stopped in her tracks because a certain man was right behind her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± There was an ominous feeling in joesse¡¯s heart. Her eyelids ¡°twitched¡± for a while, and she felt that this feeling was probablying from Zheng Zeyi. The result was just as expected! Zheng Zeyi ruffled her hair and said gently,¡±¡±It¡¯s sote, aren¡¯t you going to invite me in?¡± . ¡°You know it¡¯s sote.¡± Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes, feeling rather helpless. It was hard for her to imagine what would happen during this time when a man and a woman were alone together. ¡°But I want to go in and sit.¡± Zheng Zeyi was a little dissatisfied. He fixed his eyes on joesse with a deep gaze. Joes was unable to avoid his gaze and was defeated in the end. He could only wave his hand and pretend to be generous,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re so tired, then I¡¯ll invite you in to have a seat.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. A certain man¡¯s lips finally curled up into a smug smile as he followed Joes into her apartment. The apartment¡¯s decorations were somewhat girlish, but it made it more heartwarming. After entering the apartment, Joes took out the fruit juice that she had already made from the refrigerator. One was for herself, while the other was specially prepared for Zheng Zeyi. Joesse¡¯s mood improved significantly after she finished the fresh and sweet orange juice. She ced the ss on the table. Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, took a few sips, and there was still more than half left. They didn¡¯t eat anything else except for a bit of barbecue to fill their stomachs. At the thought of this, joesse thought of the remaining wonton in the refrigerator and asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, do you want some wonton?¡± ¡°You made it yourself?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. A year ago, when the two of them were still living together, it was not as if he had not tried Qiao si SI¡¯s cooking. After such a long time, she did miss him. ¡°Of course, but don¡¯t expect the taste to beparable to your exotic delicacies. It¡¯s just the taste of ordinary home-cooked food.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. Zheng Zeyi shifted his position and moved closer to Jossi. With hot air, he said,¡±¡±As long as it¡¯s made by you, I¡¯ll like it,¡± Joesse¡¯s earlobes were more sensitive, and they turned even redder. She blinked her eyes and quickly stood up, saying,¡±¡±Alright, give me a moment, I¡¯ll do it.¡± After saying that, he ran into the kitchen and started to prepare the ingredients. Zheng Zeyi, who was sitting in the living room, was staring at the petite figure with a determined look in his eyes. It was like ... A Hunter staring at his prey. Joes had no idea what she was going to experience that night. After preparing chopped green onions and other ingredients, she took out the frozen wontons from the refrigerator. They were ced into the pot one by one and moved along with the boiling water. Joes added some seasoning. Very soon, the fragrance spread out and filled the entire kitchen. Joes took in a deep breath and stirred it with a spat. After she confirmed that it was cooked, she turned off the gas stove. At the same time, he picked up the two bowls of wontons and ced them in two bowls. The piping hot wonton emitted a fragrant aroma. Zheng Zeyi seemed to know that it was done and automatically went to the kitchen. ¡°Come, try it.¡± There was some anticipation in Qiao SI¡¯s eyes as she pushed the bowl of wontons in front of Zheng Zeyi. He didn¡¯t refuse. He picked up the spoon and scooped a wonton. It was fresh and tender in his mouth. It might not be as good as the delicacies, but Zheng ze felt that the food that Jossi made was probably the best he had ever eaten. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. ¡± After Zheng Zeyiplimented her, he finished the entire wonton under joesse¡¯s gaze. This was the bestpliment. Joesse was overjoyed, and sheughed as she finished her wonton. Chapter 451 Full Chapter 451: Chapter 452 At the same time, he sized up Zheng Zeyi from the corner of his eyes. Soon, her little action was noticed, but Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He quietly waited for her to finish her wonton. Five minutester. ¡°Why do you keep looking at me?¡± Joesse was a little scared by Zheng ze¡¯s stare and could not help but take a few steps back. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just ate and took a break. ¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. After eating, he sat on the sofa in the living room with joesse to rest for a while. Until the hour hand jumped to eighto¡¯ clock. Zheng Zeyi finally could not hold it in anymore. He turned to look at the little woman beside him and said charmingly,¡±¡±Did you rest well?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Joes asked, confused. Before she could react, a certain someone picked her up by the waist, his eyes a little fiery.¡±Since you¡¯re done resting, why don¡¯t you exercise with me?¡± ¡°What ... Zheng Zeyi! You put me down!¡± At this point, how could joesse not understand what Zheng Zeyi was trying to do? she immediately began to struggle and separate. However, her struggle was just like scratching an itch to Zheng ze. ...... Staring at her red lips, he bent down to kiss them and said gently,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be gentle. ¡± ¡°I ...¡± Qiao SI¡¯s eyes were dazed. She wanted to say something, but her red lips were blocked by Zheng Zeyi. Even when Princess carried her to the bedroom, Zheng ze had already taken off her clothes without her moving. With the fiery heat pressing down on her, Jossi did not dare to move. ¡°Good girl.¡± Zheng Zeyi said softly. Following his words, the two of them also started to move. Heavy panting was often heard from the bedroom. The door was closed, and two figures could be vaguely seen intertwined. Qiao si believed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words now, but she regretted it the next day. What do you mean by ¡®lighter¡¯? it was a lie! Zheng Zeyi wished he could torture her to death. The next day, Qiao SI¡¯s legs were weak. If it was not for her persistent training these days, she would not have been able to get out of bed. On the other hand, the corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth curled up when he saw this scene. The next moment, Qiao si pinched the meat on his hand. Helpless, Joes could only give up on her n to go to the office in the morning. If she went there like this, the wholepany would know what she had donest night. Joesse did not wish for such a matter to be made known to everyone. Hence ... Joes spent the entire morning tidying up the design drafts at home, while Zheng ze went to the Zheng Corporation after he had his fill. At the same time, Qiao si also received some news from detective Wen. For example, boss long and his men had gone to the Qiao family¡¯s house to collect their debts today. After Zhao Hai ¡®er received the 100000 Yuan from Qian Yu, she gave the money to the Qiao family. No matter how unsatisfied they were, no matter how much money they wanted, Zhao Hai ¡®er would sternly reject them, indicating that she had no more. During this period of time, Qiao Feng had also gathered 10000 Yuan, so he had gathered 200000 Yuan in total. The remaining 300000 Yuan was too much for them to do, and they were also nervously trying to gather it. Even Qiao Lei could only go out and do some hard work to earn money. However, what they did not expect was that when they thought that they could calm down for a while, boss long came to their door today. At this time, the Qiao family was having dinner. Zhao Hai ¡®er was not there, she had gone out to hang out with Qian Yu. Most of the dishes on the table were green vegetables, and some of them were edible grass that Liu Yun had plucked herself to reduce her expenses. There was no meat at all. ¡°Lei, eat more.¡± Liu Yun seemed to have forgotten about her debt as she kept stuffing food into Qiao Lei¡¯s bowl. Not to mention the debt, this was her son, her biological son, and she still had to look forward to his retirement. Qiao Lei looked at the green vegetables in the bowl and felt a little disgusted. But if he didn¡¯t eat, he would have to go hungry, so he ate it all. Qiao Feng, who had always doted on Qiao Lei, looked a little upset. Just as the family was eating, there was a sudden rush of footsteps at the door of the Qiao family¡¯s residence. Before they could react, a loud noise was heard.¡±Bang!¡± Liu Yun was so frightened that she could not even hold her chopsticks properly. The three of them looked towards the door and saw boss long and his men entering the old and shabby apartment. Seeing this, Qiao Lei was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. He quickly stood up and tried to please him.¡±Boss long, this ... Why are you guys here?¡± This was the first time Qiao Feng had seen boss long and his men. However, judging from their aura, they were not easy to deal with. In addition, Qiao Feng was timid, so he did not dare to interrupt. He put down his chopsticks. As for Liu Yun, she was even more cowardly. If not for the fact that the setting was not suitable, she would have run into the house to hide. This was a group of fiendish gods! He would Dodge if he could! After hearing Qiao Lei¡¯s words, boss long took a cigarette and scanned the apartment.¡±¡±Don¡¯t try to get close to me. My purpose foring here is very simple. Have you collected the 500000 you owe me? If you¡¯ve gathered all of them, then give them to me. ¡± Other than collecting debts, boss long naturally had no other purpose. Qiao Lei¡¯s expression instantly stiffened. He swallowed his saliva and a wave of panic surged in his heart.¡±Boss long, I haven¡¯t gathered the money yet. Can you give me some more time?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Boss long didn¡¯t give Qiao Lei a chance to continue speaking. He kicked him directly and sent him to the ground. Liu Yun¡¯s breathing almost stopped. She quickly went to help Qiao Lei up, not daring to meet boss Long¡¯s eyes. ¡°Big brother ... This ... Let¡¯s talk this out,¡± she said, trembling.¡±Don¡¯t hit anyone!¡± Boss long nced at her and sneered in disdain.¡±¡±What I want to do is none of your business. Qiao Lei, I¡¯ll ask you onest time. Are you going to return the money you owe me today?¡± That sharp gaze made Qiao Lei¡¯s stomach hurt even more. Qiao Lei gritted his teeth and didn¡¯t say anything for a long time. He kept holding his stomach. Just as boss Long¡¯s patience was about to run out, Qiao Feng stood up. He was also very tactful and said in a ttering manner,¡±¡±Big brother, I¡¯m Qiao Lei¡¯s father. This money ... We will definitely return it. We just wanted to discuss with you guys if you can give us some time. We will definitely return it!¡± Hearing her confident tone, boss long raised his eyebrows and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand.¡±¡±Then tell me, how long did it take?¡± ¡°We have 200000 Yuan now. We can return it to you first, big brother. We¡¯ll give you the rest when we have the money!¡± Qiao Feng said humbly. Two hundred thousand ... Compared to boss long who thought of nothing, this answer was obviously not bad. It was better to get something than nothing. Chapter 452 Full Chapter 452: I knew she woulde After thinking for a while, boss long nodded.¡±¡±Fine, you¡¯re good with words. Then return us 200000 first. As for the remaining 300000, I¡¯m telling you, you won¡¯t be able to protect your son if you dy it for too long. ¡± At the end of his sentence, boss long let out a disdainfulugh. He was not joking. These brothers were all in the gray area of city h, and it wasn¡¯t like they hadn¡¯t killed anyone before! Qiao Feng suddenly felt a little breathless. After he came back to his senses, he quickly nodded and handed the bank card with 200000 Yuan to boss long. ¡°I¡¯ll return the 200000 to you first, big brother. We¡¯ll definitely gather it as soon as possible. ¡± After taking the bank card, boss long looked deeply at Qiao Lei on the ground, until he felt his hair stand on end. Afterughing coldly for a while, he called his brothers to leave,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go!¡± The group of people came and left in a grandiose manner, their footsteps extremely loud in the corridor. The rest of the residents didn¡¯t dare toe out, knowing that the person outside the door was not a good person. After Qiao Lei saw that they had left, he finally felt better and quickly got up from the ground. ¡°Dad, did you really give them the 200000 Yuan?¡± ...... Hearing Qiao Lei¡¯s voice, Qiao Feng red at him and said,¡±¡±What else? you want them to take your life?¡± ¡°No, no...¡± Qiao Lei lowered his head guiltily. He owed Qiao Feng money twice, so he didn¡¯t dare to talk back to Qiao Feng. Otherwise, if his father didn¡¯t pay back the money, he really didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°Alright, child¡¯s father, don¡¯t talk to your child like that. That group of people doesn¡¯t look like good people. If they didn¡¯t cheat Lei, they wouldn¡¯t have owed so much money. ¡± Liu Yun said indignantly. However, she pushed all the me to boss long and the others. It was all their fault anyway, and it had nothing to do with Qiao Lei. Seeing the two of them like this, Qiao Feng¡¯s brows furrowed even more and asked,¡±¡±There¡¯s still a debt of 300000. What are you going to do?¡± ¡°What should I do ...¡± Liu Yun smiled sheepishly.¡±I don¡¯t know either. Can you think of a way, father?¡± ¡°What can I do?¡± Qiao Feng was a little irritated. After shouting angrily, his expression eased a little. He didn¡¯t have much ability to begin with, and he lived on the pension he had received from the town. But now, even the house had been sold, and they only had this apartment with a period of time left in the lease. I can¡¯t sell this too, can I? Even though it couldn¡¯t be sold for much. Liu Yun fell into deep thought. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something.¡±Why don¡¯t I ask hai ¡®er for help? I think she¡¯s very rich recently, and she¡¯s wearing a lot of new clothes. This child is also an ungrateful Wolf. She doesn¡¯t even know how to help her brother pay off his debts first. ¡± Thinking back to thest time when he asked Zhao Hai ¡®er for money, Qiao Feng felt humiliated. He gritted his teeth and said,¡±¡±You can tell hai ¡®er about the money. If she gives us the money, then we¡¯ll let it go, but if she doesn¡¯t ... Then don¡¯t me us for robbing her!¡± At the thought of this, a trace of viciousness shed across Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes. There was no hope of finding Jossi anyway, so Zhao Hai ¡®er was their only hope. Besides the fact that Qiao Lei was his precious son and he could not touch him, Qiao Feng had no feelings for this daughter who was not even his. Liu Yun was about to refuse but she swallowed her words when she met Qiao Feng¡¯s terrifying gaze. ¡°Okay, okay, dad. When hai ¡®eres back, I¡¯ll tell her about this!¡± His fawning tone made Qiao Feng a little more satisfied. He took a pack of cigarettes and went back to his room. As for Qiao Lei and Liu Yun, who were in the living room, they looked at each other with hatred for boss Long¡¯s trust. ¡­¡­¡­ Detective Wen told everything that had happened to the Qiao family to Jossi. At this moment, she had just put on her clothes and was preparing to go to the shop to prepare for the opening. ¡°Detective Wen, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things over there for me for the time being. As for boss long and the others, there¡¯s no need to contact them. If they want to go and collect the debt, then go. We won¡¯t interfere in this matter. ¡± Joes¡¯s voice was extremely calm. In the beginning, when boss long asked Qiao Lei to continue gambling, detective Wen did y a part in it, but it was just a casual reminder. Whatever they did after that was none of Jossi¡¯s business. ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry, miss Qiao. I¡¯ll settle this matter and get rid of my single status.¡± Detective Wen nodded immediately. It was good for detective Wen that they didn¡¯t need to interfere, so he had no reason to refuse. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After Joes agreed, she looked at the time and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll leave this matter to you, detective Wen. I still have something to do, so I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. ¡± Detective Wen was very observant. After hearing what joesse said, he did not dy any further.¡±Then, miss Qiao, I¡¯ll contact you if I have any news.¡± He then hung up the phone. His actions were so fast that even joesse could not react in time. She nced at her phone that was toot. She smiled helplessly and put away her phone. Then, she left the blue sky Apartment and drove in the direction of the star Yuan shop. Today was the first day of business, and as the boss, Jossi naturally had toe and watch the fun. However, Li Chang was very capable. He almost didn¡¯t need Joes ¡®help to settle everything. The store had just opened when Jossi arrived, and Lin ya and Wang Li had alsoe to help. She came just in time when the shop had just opened and there was a crowd at the door. Joesse had also spent a lot of effort to squeeze in and saw the position of the person giving the speech on stage. ¡°The new shop is opening. I hope everyone can give me your support.¡± Li Chang¡¯s gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone. The volume was turned up to a higher volume, so it could be heard in the vicinity. There were many youngdies in the crowd, all of theming for Li Chang¡¯s looks. It had to be said that he was handsome and did a good job. In this aspect, Jossi had no choice. She had to admit that Zheng Zeyi had indeed sent over a very good store manager. After li Changfa finished speaking, he swept his gaze across the crowd and immediately saw joesse who was standing at the edge. ¡°Next, let¡¯s invite our boss to congratte us on the opening of our shop!¡± His eyes lit up and he said quickly. After he said that, not only Li Chang, but even Lin ya and Wang Li¡¯s gazes followed his line of sight and saw Qiao si in the crowd. ¡°Sisi, I knew she woulde!¡± Lin ya said excitedly. Chapter 453 Full Chapter 453: 100,000 to 200000 Yuan Hearing her words, Wang Li controlled her urge to roll her eyes. She patted her on the shoulder and said,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, can you calm down? Isn¡¯t it normal for sisi to attend the opening of my shop? I just didn¡¯t get there in time. ¡± This shop was opened by joesse. It would be unreasonable if she did note to take a look on her first day of opening. At that moment, Joes had no idea how correct her decision to not go to the office in the morning was. Otherwise, if this group of bad friends found out that her legs were weak, it was very likely that it would not be long before this matter spread throughout the entirepany. It might even evolve into many different versions, and Joes could not ept that such a thing would happen. ¡°Sisi! We¡¯re here!¡± Lin ya pursed her lips and pretended not to hear Wang Li¡¯s words as she waved at Qiao si si. Since they had already done so, Joes naturally could not continue to hide in the crowd and be an audience member. She walked out and went on stage. Li Chang passed the microphone to her. She took it and revealed a faint smile. ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m the owner of this shop. You can call me Jossi.¡± A crisp female voice rang out. Before Jossi could say anything, a round of apuse rang out from the audience. It was clear how much support the crowd had. ¡°Pa pa!¡± ...... The sound of pping was endless. Seeing such a young and beautiful female boss, the crowd¡¯s interest was even stronger. At this, Joes could not help butugh and continued,¡±¡±Today is the first day of our store¡¯s opening and the first day it has taken root in city H. As the boss, I really hope that my shop can continue to develop well. ¡± These words were said in a very reasonable manner. Joes¡¯s eyes curved as she continued,¡±¡±That¡¯s why ... I¡¯m opening today, and I want to give everyone some benefits. All the jewelry will be at a 30% discount, and it¡¯s only limited to the opening day of the store for two days. If you miss it, you¡¯ll lose the opportunity to get a discount!¡± Joes had already discussed the discount with Li Chang from the start. When they first opened, they could use the discount to attract the public¡¯s attention and quickly ignite the poprity of the store. After Joes finished her speech, many gasps and thunderous apuse rang out from the audience. ¡°That¡¯s great, there¡¯s a 30% discount!¡± ¡°Who knows if it¡¯s real or fake? maybe it¡¯ll still be as expensive as before even after the 30% discount.¡± Someone in the crowd was a little dissatisfied. However, her voice was quickly suppressed by others. ¡°Don¡¯t always think of people as so bad. This is a new jewelry store, and I¡¯m really looking forward to it.¡± ¡°Xing Yuan design ... I¡¯ve heard of this name before. Their designs have been leaked on the inte. I¡¯ve seen the designs, they¡¯re all very beautiful. I just don¡¯t know what they¡¯ll look like when they¡¯re made into real products. ¡± The crowd¡¯s emotions were stirred up, and it seemed that they would soon be the customers of the shop. Now, it seemed that the discount n had seeded. After that, Joes did not say anything else. After a few routine words, she returned the microphone to Li Chang. Li Chang¡¯s ability to control the situation was also very strong. After he said what he had to say, the shop waspletely open. The automatic door opened to the crowd, and everyone rushed into the shop. For a moment, even standing outside the shop, one could feel the crowd inside. This shop was actually quiterge, but business would usually boom at the start. Joes had already expected this. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯re finally here. We¡¯ve been waiting for you the entire morning, but you didn¡¯te.¡± The door of the shop was a lot emptier. Lin ya and Wang Li walked over, her tone full of joy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Joes smiled.¡±I was dyed by something in the morning. I thought I wouldn¡¯t make it.¡± I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to show my face here when I made it in time. ¡± ¡°Sisi,¡± Lin ya raised her eyebrows.¡±Isn¡¯t it easy for you to show your face?¡± ¡°Yes, but the meaning is different.¡± Jossi answered Lin ya¡¯s question honestly because it was the truth. However, as long as she had the ability, Joes also hoped that the store under her name would be able to do its best. That morning, while Qiao sisi was still resting at home, Lin ya and Wang Li came to the shop early to help out. However, it was not quite what they had imagined. As the opening was approaching, the things in the shop had already been prepared. There was also enough manpower, so he didn¡¯t need their help at all. Instead, he came to watch the excitement the whole morning. At this thought, Lin ya scratched her head. She remembered something and said,¡±¡±By the way ... Sisi, Lili, why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡± A bet? These two words sessfully piqued the interest of Qiao si si and Wang Li. The two of them looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other¡¯s eyes. At the next moment, Joes retracted her gaze and asked with a smile,¡±¡±What bet?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s bet on today ...¡± Lin ya seemed to be deep in thought as she said this. Then, her eyes widened and she said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s bet on today¡¯s turnover! Whoever loses will be treated to hotpot. ¡± The price of this bet was not that uneptable. Today was the first day of the store¡¯s opening, and Joes was also very curious to see how much sales would be made in the end. No matter what, the jewelry in the store was all high-end and not cheap. It was indeed very popr now, and there was a steady stream of people entering the store, so the possibility of them bing customers was very high. However, Joes knew that it would not exceed a certain limit. Most of the people were just here to check out the new shop. At the thought of this, Joes deliberated and said,¡±¡±I guess it should be around 10000 to 100000 Yuan?¡± ¡°So low?¡± Lin ya furrowed her brows. She didn¡¯t expect Jossi to be so unconfident in her store. It seemed that she still had to go out. Lin ya rubbed her chin with her fingers as if she was in deep thought. Then, she said,¡±¡±I think it¡¯s at least 200000 Yuan if I¡¯m not mistaken!¡± Two hundred thousand Yuan! A day¡¯s sales, this target was definitely too high. Jossi and Wang Li looked at each other andughed out loud. However, seeing that Lin ya was in high spirits, the two of them did not say anything. Now, there was only the middle amount left. ¡°Alright!¡± Wang Li quickly made her decision.¡±Then I¡¯m guessing that tonight¡¯s sales will be around 100000 to 200000 Yuan.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin ya nodded heavily. She suddenly felt that this amount was more secure. Chapter 454 Full Chapter 454: You¡¯re too kind Unfortunately, words that had been spoken were like water that had been poured out, and could not be changed. Even though Lin ya felt a little regretful, it wasn¡¯t a big deal to treat her to hotpot, so she put the matter to the back of her mind. After setting up the bet, the three of them entered the shop to help. It was the first day of business, and business was quite good. Some of the marketing work was done by Joes and Lin ya. After a round of promotion, they often sold a few pieces of jewelry. Lin ya¡¯s ego was inted, and her words were full of narcissism, saying that she had a talent for marketing. On the other hand, Wang Li pouted and retorted,¡±¡±Little ya, it¡¯s good to be confident, but overconfidence isn¡¯t a good thing.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Lin ya red at him. Looking at these two jokers, Joes felt that her mood for the entire day had improved by quite a bit. She also felt that letting them into the shop was the right choice. At this moment, it was as if they had returned to a year ago. After that, there were more and more customers in the store, and the three of them had to be separated. Lin ya and Wang Li went to the second floor to introduce jewelry to the customers. As for Joes, she was still on the first floor, introducing a bracelet to a young and beautiful woman. The bracelet was designed by Lin ya. It was blue in the sky, and it represented the hope of being able to fly freely in the sky like a bird. ...... The blue gemstones and the workmanship were all perfect. Joes had roughly seen these before. If they were to be ced into the equipment to test the quality, they would at least be of average quality. There were even a few that could reach higher quality, but the price would not be low. ¡°Miss, this bracelet is made of high-quality sapphires. The color is also very clear. You can take a closer look.¡± After saying that, joesse put on a pair of gloves and took out the bracelet from the ss cab. Her movements were so careful that even the woman didn¡¯t dare to touch the jewelry, as if it was a treasure that could only be seen from afar. ¡°This ... It¡¯s really pretty!¡± Under the light, the sapphire bracelet reflected a beautiful light, and the woman couldn¡¯t bear to look away. Upon seeing this, Jossi also understood that this woman should be quite interested in this piece of jewelry. What ident? it should be decided. Indeed, just as jorsi had expected, before she could even introduce herself, the woman nodded.¡±¡±I want this bracelet. Please help me wrap it up.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes said with a smile. Then, she went to the counter with the bracelet and handed it to Li Chang, who was handling business at the counter. Li Chang raised his head and saw Joes walking over with the bracelet. He smiled and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, you¡¯ve made quite a lot of orders this morning. If I were to give you a sry, you might even be the number one in the business. ¡± What he said was true, because Joes was very familiar with jewelry and she had learned some tricks abroad. Therefore, as long as it was a customer that she handled, they would usually buy a piece of jewelry. Joes handed the bracelet over and could not help butugh,¡±¡±Manager li, don¡¯t joke with me. Wrap this bracelet up first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After spending a little time, Li Chang made a beautiful packaging box for the bracelet with the brand logo designed by Xing Yuan on it. Since they were all Xing Yuan jewelry, they naturally had to design an exclusive logo. Li Chang was the most familiar with these things. He had mentioned it to Joes before. When she hade to the shop for an inspection, she had chosen some logos and showed them to Joes. The final product was chosen by joesse. ¡°Thanks.¡± Joes took the box and said with a smile. Just as she was about to look for the female customer, she realized that she was at the counter. When she saw the gift box in Joes ¡®hands, she did not hesitate and immediately went to pay. The price of this bracelet was about 8000 Yuan, which was not a small amount for an ordinary family. However, this woman didn¡¯t seem to be short of money. She was very forthright when she paid. In the end, Joes took the gift bag and sent her to the door, saying,¡±¡±Miss, this is your bracelet. Wee to the shop.¡± ¡°Thank you. I¡¯lle again next time.¡± The woman waved at Jossi and walked towards the car park not far away. Upon seeing this, Joes was about to return to the shop to continue helping out. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. The figure was only seven or eight meters away from her. It was Zhao Hai ¡®er! Beside Zhao Hai ¡®er was Qian Yu. She was holding onto his arm, as if she wanted him to walk into the shop with her. Joes squinted her eyes and hid behind the door of the shop, watching the scene in front of her silently. ¡°Brother Qian, pleasee with me.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er shook Qian Yu¡¯s arm and said coyly. Hearing this, Qian Yu shook his head, his face full of resistance,¡±¡±I won¡¯t go in. You can go in and take a look by yourself. There are too many people inside, I don¡¯t like this kind of ce. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er lowered her head when she heard the familiar words. Her eyes shed with a strange light. Qian Yu had repeated these words to her countless times. So far, Qian Yu had not been to such a public ce with her. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not want to know the reason behind it. She could have her current status and so much money because of Qian Yu. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t want to lose the big picture for the small. She didn¡¯t want to lose this gold mine yet. Many thoughts shed through her mind. Zhao Hai ¡®er raised her head again, and a smile appeared on her face.¡±Brother Qian, although there are a lot of people, this is the first day of the new shop. It¡¯s just that there are many people watching the fun. When the novelty wears off, they naturally won¡¯te again. ¡± ¡°Watch the show¡± was the key word in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s words. It was so lively today, so most of the rich people would note to shop. Unfortunately, Qian Yu was too cautious and did not want to expose himself. Even though Zhao Hai ¡®er had said so, he still rejected her.¡±¡±You can go in, I¡¯ll give you money.¡± Before Zhao Hai ¡®er could react, Qian Yu took out a bank card and said,¡±¡± 200000 yen. You can choose whatever you like.¡± ¡°Brother Qian, you¡¯re too kind!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at the bank card. She did not expect Qian Yu to be so generous. In reality, it was just a smallpensation for not being able to appear in public with her. Qian Yu¡¯s family was quite well-off, and he didn¡¯tck this bit of money at all. Keeping a mistress was an expense that he had already prepared. Chapter 455

Chapter 455: I remember now

It was even less than he had imagined. After all, Zhao Hai ¡®er was from an ordinary family and had not seen much of the world. She didn¡¯t dare to continue to climb up thedder after being given a little bit. Qian Yu could read Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mind, and sure enough, after giving her the 200000 Yuan, she never mentioned going in with him again. ¡°Brother Qian, you rest in the car. I¡¯ll go in and take a look!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said with excitement. Qian Yu nodded, leaned over and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±This is such a big gift. You have to work harder tonight.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face turned red immediately. She quickly replied,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, brother Qian, I¡¯ll make you feel good. ¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s more like it.¡± After the two of them made a deal, Zhao Hai ¡®er kept the bank card and walked into the Star Yuan shop with a face full of glory. This was a new shop, and with Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s low intelligence, she did not expect that this was jos¨¦¡¯s shop. ¡°Wee,¡± After Zhao Hai ¡®er entered the shop, a shop assistant immediately went up to her. Meanwhile, Joes continued to observe in the dark. She was the one who had asked the shop assistant to go over. ...... She also wanted to see how much money Zhao Hai ¡®er had taken from Qian Yu. The Qiao family knew that she had hooked up with a rich man, so they would probably not allow her to keep the money. The most important thing in the Qiao family was their precious son, Qiao Lei, who had inherited the family¡¯s legacy. Zhao Hai ¡®er nced at the shop assistant with disdain. She yed with her nails and said,¡±¡±Take me to see the jewelry in your store.¡± ¡°Alright, miss. Pleasee this way.¡± The smiling saleswoman led Zhao Hai ¡®er to the ss cab and followed joesse¡¯s instructions, praising her non-stop. She pointed at the ss cab and said with a smile,¡±¡±Miss, you have an extraordinary temperament and are very suitable for the jewelry in this cab. It¡¯s just that these pieces of jewelry are a little more expensive, but miss, you can rest assured that they are definitely worth the money. ¡± Hearing the sales assistant¡¯s praise, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face became even more smug. She liked the feeling of being scolded. When she was living in the Qiao family and did not have much money, who would treat her like this? However, things were different now. Zhao Hai ¡®er had hooked up with Qian Yu, a rich man. Naturally, she did not have to live a poor life like before. As for the price, Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t care. Qian Yu had given her a whole 200000 Yuan. Although this store didn¡¯t look like it was of low quality, there shouldn¡¯t be many pieces of jewelry that cost 200000 Yuan, right? Zhao Hai ¡®er had misunderstood. As the treasure of the ¡°deep sea¡± series, Joes was prepared to set the price at millions. This set of jewelry had cost a lot of manpower and resources, and its quality was worth a million Yuan. Not to mention other jewelry, there were some that cost hundreds of thousands, but there were fewer. After all, the store had just opened. ¡°Okay, miss. I¡¯ll pick out a set of jewelry that suits you,¡± the shop assistant said with a smile. ¡°Then you pick one, I don¡¯t want the bad ones.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said arrogantly. When the sales assistant went to pick out the jewelry, she didn¡¯t stay idle. She carefully looked at the jewelry in front of the ss cab. It had to be said that these jewelries were extremely in line with a woman¡¯s aesthetic. Zhao Hai ¡®er saw a few sets of jewelry that she liked, and the price was clearly stated in the ss cabs. Looking at the jewelries that were worth tens of thousands of Yuan, Zhao Hai ¡®er was silent. However, he couldn¡¯t help butin in his heart. What kind of lousy store is this? it doesn¡¯t look like the quality is good, but it¡¯s only priced at tens of thousands of Yuan! It was a good thing that joesse did not know what she was thinking. Otherwise, she would have embarrassed her on the spot. On the other side. After observing Zhao Hai ¡®er from a distance, Joes went up to the second floor. It just so happened that the number of customers on the second floor had decreased a little, so Wang Li and Lin ya¡¯s work could be a little easier. When she saw Jossi, Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened and she said with a smile,¡±¡±Sisi, are you here to rest too?¡± She and Wang Li were sitting on chairs in the corner, holding two unopened loaves of bread in their hands. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t eat in the store, as it would affect the reputation of the store. The two of them were prepared to sit outside for a while before entering the lounge to finish the bread. Joes shook her head slightly and walked to the two of them, saying,¡±¡±No, I¡¯m here to observe someone. I haven¡¯t seen her in a while. Let¡¯s see what she wants to do. ¡± At the end of her sentence, joesse¡¯s lips curled up. It had not been a long time. When Zhao Hai ¡®er was at her wits¡¯ end, she hade to Xingyuan design to ask for a job. It was just that Joes did not agree to it. Her words had greatly piqued the curiosity of Lin ya and Wang Kai. ¡°Who is it?¡± Hearing Lin ya¡¯s voice, joesse raised her chin, signaling for the two of them to look down. Lin ya and Zhao Youyue followed joesse¡¯s gaze and saw Zhao Hai ¡®er standing in front of a ss cab, admiring the jewelry. There was an empty space between the first and second floor. The empty space in the middle was like a shopping mall, and one could see the bottom through the ss railings. Joesse also liked this design. When she saw the person below, Lin ya frowned. She felt like she had seen this face somewhere before. It was just that her memory was a little fuzzy, so she couldn¡¯t remember it for the time being. Then, Lin ya patted her head and said in frustration,¡±¡±I seem to have seen this person somewhere before. It¡¯s just that ... I can¡¯t really remember it now. Lili, do you know?¡± ¡°I know,¡± Wang Li immediately nodded. She didn¡¯t have Lin ya¡¯s goldfish memory. Besides, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s incident with the Qiao family was quite a big deal, so she couldn¡¯t possibly forget it. Seeing Lin ya¡¯s confusion, Wang Li kindly exined,¡±¡±Have you forgotten? you were scolding them online before.¡± Scolding? Lin ya blinked her eyes and thought for a while before she finally remembered who this person was. She widened her eyes and said in realization,¡±¡±I remember now. Sisi, this must be one of your vampire family members!¡± When this matter had just been exposed, Lin ya had wanted to give these people a good scolding. Even Wang Li joined in the scolding. The Qiao family was full of vampires who only knew how to enve others. They also had arge number of anti-fans on the inte. Chapter 456

Chapter 456: The guests are the most important

If Qiao Feng and the others went online, they would find that they had be a new generation of nicknames forizens to scold people. There was no need to use vulgarities. As long as you wanted to belittle the other party, you could just say these few names. Joes nodded and nced at Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was pacing back and forth in front of the ss cab. She said,¡±¡±That¡¯s her. Her name is Zhao Hai ¡®er. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re Zhao Hai ¡®er, right ...¡± Lin ya puffed up her cheeks, her tone filled with anger. After she finished speaking, she began to roll up her sleeves. Just as she was about to go down, she was stopped by Joes, who had sharp eyes and agile hands. Staring at this clown, Joes helplessly said,¡±¡±Little ya, what are you nning to do?¡± Hearing that, Lin ya said with a sense of justice,¡±¡±Sisi, it¡¯s an insult to our shop to let such a person in. Besides, you don¡¯t have a good rtionship with her either, right? Then there¡¯s no need to let her in. ¡± At this point, Lin ya seemed to have remembered something and quickly added,¡±¡±I think it¡¯s best to cklist the entire Qiao family if possible. Our partner¡¯s shop can also not allow these people to enter!¡± It had to be said that Lin ya¡¯s brain worked very quickly. Joes fell into deep thought and let go of Lin ya¡¯s hand, handing it over to Wang Li. ...... Lin ya¡¯s words ... Were not impossible, but it was not as easy to implement as it seemed. He still had to discuss with the bosses of thosepanies about the shops of his partners. Zhao Hai ¡®er was a vain person. It would be embarrassing if she was not allowed into these high-end shops. Even if she continued to stay by Qian Yu¡¯s side, Qian Yu might not even be interested in this woman on the cklist. The n ... Was feasible! Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. Even though she did not n to execute the n immediately, Lin ya had given her a lot of inspiration. Seeing Zhao Hai ¡®er standing and sitting, Lin ya even forgot to chase her away. ¡°Sisi, what I said ... Is there a problem?¡± Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but suspect that it was her own problem. Indeed, what she said just now seemed to be a little too imaginative. Being cklisted was easy to say, but it was not so easy to do. Wang Liughed.¡±I think sisi thinks what you just said is pretty good. She¡¯s thinking about how to implement it.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Lin ya was instantly excited. Joes raised her brows slightly and pretended to be innocent,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t say anything. This is all just your imagination.¡± The three of them looked at each other andughed. Lin ya took a step forward and hugged joesse¡¯s arm, saying,¡±¡±Sisi, how was the n?¡± In her eyes, the Qiao family had gone too far. It would be unreasonable if they didn¡¯t pay a price for what they had done. ¡°Not bad, but I don¡¯t have a concrete idea yet. Let me think about it.¡± Joes said honestly. Since she said that, Lin ya didn¡¯t say anything. She stared at Zhao Hai ¡®er for a while and said,¡±¡±Then ... We¡¯re just going to leave her be?¡± ¡°Of course we have to.¡± Just as Wang Li was about to say that there was no need to intervene, Joes was the first to say something shocking. . ¡°Care?¡± Wang Li was a little puzzled. Joesughed.¡±Don¡¯t worry. I understand this person¡¯s character. We don¡¯t need to do anything. She can seek her own death.¡± There was nothing wrong with what he said. Zhao Hai ¡®er had learned a lot from Liu Yun. After all, they were mother and daughter, and there were some simrities. For example, the same vanity, the same unreasonable, and the same ... Stinginess. Joesse did not mention these things. If there was a chance, Zhao Hai ¡®er would do her best. Zhao Hai ¡®er, on the other hand, had no idea that the people above were talking about her. He also didn¡¯t know if he would step into a big pit because of his stinginess. ¡°Miss, what do you think of this ne?¡± After the shop assistant had chosen the jewelry, she put on gloves and carefully took it. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s gaze fell on the ne, but she did not want to look away. This ne was considered one of the more expensive pieces of jewelry. Just this one alone cost 100000 Yuan. However, it was also made of high-quality Jade, and the polishing process was even more perfect, which made its value rise. These were actually rtively cheap. The truly expensive ones, unless the customer requested it themselves, would not be deliberately rmended by the shop assistant. If others couldn¡¯t afford it and still rmended it, it would be an embarrassing act, and the loss outweighed the gain. ¡°Let me see.¡± After Zhao Hai ¡®er realized what was going on, she pretended to take the jewelry away from the shop assistant. However, the shop assistant was stunned for a moment. She couldn¡¯t help but take a step back and smile.¡±¡±Miss, let me help you hold it.¡± With such an expensive item and the number of people in the store, the shop assistant was worried that an ident might happen. If something really happened, she wouldn¡¯t be able to afford the 100000-Yuan ne. Logically speaking, such an expensive item should not be taken out of the ss cab. However, Joes had specifically instructed her to do so. ¡°What ... Are you worried that I¡¯ll break the nes in your shop? This is impossible!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face turned cold. She had never been to such a high-end shop before, so she didn¡¯t know what was going on inside. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s current attitude was simr to that of a rich person with no ss. ¡°Miss, I didn¡¯t mean it that way,¡± the saleswoman said with some difficulty,¡±it¡¯s just that this thing is indeed a little expensive. ¡± There are also special rules in the store. If miss wants to see it clearly, I can also take it closer. ¡± After that, the saleswoman took a few steps closer to Zhao Hai ¡®er, and the beautiful ne came closer. This ne was really beautiful. Zhao Hai ¡®er was stunned. She cleared her throat and said with anger,¡±¡±The guests are the most important. Don¡¯t you understand this principle?¡± ¡°I ...¡± The saleswoman lowered her head and swallowed her saliva. She did not dare to meet Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s fierce gaze. Themotion in this area had attracted the attention of many people around. Zhao Hai ¡®er was thick-skinned and did not mind such a situation. The sales assistant was embarrassed, but she did not say anything. ¡°Are you going to give it to me or not?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was starting to get impatient with the shop assistant, and her attitude was even more irritated than before. Just as the shop assistant was about to reject Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s request, she raised her head and saw Jossi¡¯s gaze, signaling her to agree to Zhao Hai¡¯ er¡¯s request. Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Isn¡¯tpensation a matter of course?

Agree? The shop assistant could not believe her eyes, but when she looked up again, joesse still had the same expression. Worried that she didn¡¯t understand what she meant, she even nodded. In addition, Joes was hidden among the crowd on the second floor, so other than the shop assistant, no one else noticed Joes¡¯s small actions. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you onest time, are you going to give it to me or not? stop dilly-dallying, What are you looking at?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face turned ugly. Just as she was about to follow the shop assistant¡¯s line of sight upstairs, she was handed the ne. The shop assistant said apologetically,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, miss. I didn¡¯t think of it in the beginning. I should have given it to you earlier. This way, you can see it more clearly. Miss, take a look, do you like this style?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was pleased with her sudden attempt to please her, so she did not think too much about it. She simply thought that her attitude had intimidated the shop assistant. This kind of jewelry store employee should be discouraged. The password holder really thought he was some high and mighty figure. Zhao Hai ¡®er snorted coldly and began to observe the ne in her hand. What she did not expect was that the saleswoman¡¯s words were also meant to attract her attention, so as to prevent her from finding out that Jessi was passing on a message to her. Upstairs. ...... Lin ya raised her eyebrows and put her hands on the railing with a smile.¡±¡±Sisi, the shop assistant you hired is pretty smart.¡± Upon hearing thispliment, joesseughed and said,¡±¡±This should be manager Li¡¯s work. He recruited all the employees in the store. How could they be chosen if they didn¡¯t have some ability?¡± Li Chang used to work for the Zheng¡¯s group, which meant he had a good eye for people. Almost all of Zheng ze¡¯s subordinates were talented people, and there were no exceptions. Even assistant li was the same. ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Lin ya nodded. At this time, Wang Li, who was standing at the side, faintly interjected,¡±¡±If everyone¡¯s like you, then the shop is almost done for.¡± Lin ya didn¡¯t react at first, but after she came back to her senses, she gritted her teeth and red at Wang Li. This was not giving her any face at all! Looking at this scene, Joes could not help butugh. She held back herughter and retracted her gaze to look at what was happening downstairs. Zhao Hai ¡®er had already examined the ne for a long time, and the love in her eyes deepened. She was satisfied, but that was all. She had no intention of buying such an expensive ne. She had to keep the 200000 Yuan that Qian Yu had given her for a rainy day. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mind was filled with many thoughts. She took back her hand and threw the ne to the shop assistant.¡±The jewelry you have here is just so-so. I¡¯m not very satisfied.¡± After she threw the ne away, she didn¡¯t even see the ne forming a parab in the air. Most importantly, Zhao Hai ¡®er had used too much strength, causing the ne to fly over the saleswoman¡¯s head. In the end ... ¡°Pa!¡± The ne fell to the ground, and the Jade on it waspletely broken into two, making it difficult to repair. The shop assistant¡¯s hand was still in the position of catching the ne, but she didn¡¯t catch it. She turned her head stiffly and stared at the damaged ne on the ground. What to do? She couldn¡¯t help but have this thought. Such an expensive ne was actually destroyed in her hands? The shop assistant couldn¡¯te back to her senses. Themotion here also caused the customers who were looking at jewelry to stop and watch. As for the broken ne, almost no one dared to approach it. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked around and noticed the tense atmosphere. She couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Why are you all looking at us?¡± After she finished speaking, she subconsciously nced at the shop assistant and saw her stiff body. And the Suan ni ne on the ground! Zhao Hai ¡®er stopped moving and stared at the ne. She was sure that it was the same ne she had been looking at. But how did it fall to the ground? Zhao Hai ¡®er panicked, and her eyelids twitched. Her arrogance was gone. The shop assistant finally got angry. She stared at her, took a deep breath, and said,¡±¡±Miss, you¡¯re the one who broke the ne, and you had to ask to see it. Now, can we talk about thepensation?¡± At this moment, the shop assistant¡¯s little white rabbit-like appearance disappeared. After all, she was a talent who could be watched by Li Chang. If she really didn¡¯t know anything, she wouldn¡¯t have been hired to work in the store. ¡°I ... What are you talking about?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er swallowed her saliva. Her eyes flickered, but she didn¡¯t dare to meet the saleswoman¡¯s eyes. She started to regret it. This was a ne worth 100000 Yuan. To Zhao Hai ¡®er, it was already arge sum of money, which was why she had been reluctant to buy it. Of course, if Qian Yu were to personally make a move, it would be a different story. She might even choose an even more expensive one. This was the difference and greed. ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have thrown it more lightly! Who knew that this woman would be so useless that she couldn¡¯t even catch a ne!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed in her heart and pushed all the me onto the sales assistant. She didn¡¯t think that if she didn¡¯t keep asking, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. The saleswoman noticed Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s act of pretending not to know anything, so she did not touch the ne on the floor. Instead, she immediately called for the security guard. After she contacted the security guards, she looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er and said,¡±¡±Miss, we have surveince cameras here. It¡¯s useless even if you quibble. We¡¯ll get someone to appraise the degree of damage to this ne. The result of the appraisal will be the amount you¡¯ll need to pay. ¡± The saleswoman was like a professional. After she made it clear, Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth. ¡°What are you talking about? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you couldn¡¯t catch the ne, why would it suddenly break?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s voice was sharp as she continued,¡±¡±Now you¡¯re pushing all the me onto me. I won¡¯tpensate you!¡± After that, Zhao Hai ¡®er prepared to leave the shop. However, she was surrounded byyers of security. Even if she wanted to leave, it wouldn¡¯t be easy. Seeing this, how could the surrounding crowd not understand what had happened? It was obvious that this well-dressed woman had broken someone¡¯s expensive ne and was not prepared topensate. This was extremely shameless! A passerby who couldn¡¯t stand it couldn¡¯t help but curse,¡±¡±You broke someone¡¯s ne. Isn¡¯t it only natural for you topensate?¡± Chapter 458 - I can’t take full responsibility

Chapter 458: I can¡¯t take full responsibility

¡°That¡¯s right. From the looks of it, we don¡¯t think you¡¯re going to pay for it. You¡¯ll pay for your own sins!¡± The other person quickly chimed in. The two of them could not stand Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s shamelessness. Zhao Hai ¡®er suppressed her panic and red at them. She scolded,¡±¡±What do you guys know! I¡¯ve already said that this woman is useless. She can¡¯t even catch a ne. If she had caught it, the ne wouldn¡¯t have been broken. It¡¯s not my fault!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er still wanted to argue, and she even found ame excuse. The passers-by were so angry that they almostughed. There were even a few hot-tempered ones who started quarreling with her on the spot. ¡°You¡¯re too shameless. You¡¯re treating everyone like fools!¡± ¡°It¡¯s something that costs 100000 Yuan. After you¡¯re done looking at it, you throw it to the sales assistant. Who can catch it if you throw it so hard?¡± ¡°Bah! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a shameless person. You¡¯ve really refreshed the bottom line of my knowledge!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ One sentence after another, the scolding came like a tide. Zhao Hai ¡®er was drowning in thements. Her face was red and her fingers were trembling. ¡°This is my business. I don¡¯t need you people to meddle in my business!¡± ...... She shouted angrily, but after she shouted, she still felt a little regretful. If she had known that the matter would blow up to this extent, she would have gone to a quiet ce with the shop assistant to settle it. She really did not want to lose so much money. In the end ... He still took after Liu Yun¡¯s personality. ¡°Pfft, you speak as if everyone wants to meddle in your little business.¡± That passerby had a look of disdain. The situation was in a deadlock. The saleswoman only said one word, and that was to make Zhao Hai ¡®er pay. She was the one who broke the ne, so it was only natural for her topensate.? At that moment, Qiao si si walked down the stairs with Lin ya and Wang Li. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Joes walked in front of Zhao Hai ¡®er. Under Zhao Hai¡¯ er¡¯s shocked gaze, she said calmly,¡±¡±Miss, my staff might not be suitable tomunicate with you. It¡¯s better ... To let me do it. ¡± At the end of her sentence, the smile on Joes¡¯s lips deepened. Facing a scoundrel like Zhao Hai ¡®er, a youngdy like the shop assistant would be hard to deal with even if she had a tough attitude. However, joesse was different. After fighting with the Qiao family for so long, she knew what to say to make them feel fear and retreat. Lin ya and Wang Li stood behind Jossi as if they were supporting her. Zhao Hai ¡®er, on the other hand, took a long time to react. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, and it was obvious how surprised she was. She raised her finger slightly and pointed at Joes in disbelief, her voice filled with shock.¡±¡±You ... Why are you here?¡± As soon as this was said, the surrounding crowd of onlookers began to boil. Could it be that the two of them knew each other? There were too many secrets! However, Joes had no intention of trying to build a rtionship with Zhao Hai ¡®er, so her smile was a little forced. ¡°Miss Zhao, this is my shop. It¡¯s not surprising that I¡¯m here. But you ... What do you n to do with this broken ne?¡± At this point, joesse raised her brows and half-squatted down to pick up the ne that had already been broken into several pieces. It was no longer what it used to be, and hadpletely be a useless ne. This was something worth 100000 Yuan, and Zhao Hai ¡®er had broken it. If she didn¡¯t give an exnation, she might not even be able to walk out of this shop today. After ncing at the ne, Joes looked away and stared at the nervous Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er also knew that if she were to mention their rtionship as rtives to joesse, she would definitely lose a lot of money if she were to get angry. Most importantly, Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t want to reveal her identity in public. She still remembered the online abuse she had experienced. Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth and said,¡±I can¡¯t take full responsibility for this. Your employees are also responsible!¡± I asked to see it, but after I saw it, the ne was still fine. It was just that your staff didn¡¯t catch it when you threw it over!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er tried to struggle. If she really lost all of the 100000 Yuan, she would lose half of the 200000 Yuan that Qian Yu had given her today. As long as she tried her best to reduce the amount ofpensation, it would be best if it could be reduced to 10000, she might be able to ept it. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s thoughts were not known by Joes and the rest. If they knew, they would probablyugh at her wishful thinking. Zhao Hai ¡®er had to take full responsibility for the ne¡¯s destruction. Lin ya, who was standing at the side, couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Without waiting for joesse to speak, she took a step forward and said with suppressed anger,¡±¡±What do you mean the responsibility is not yours alone? You just threw the ne so high, do you really think that everyone is Superman and can catch your ne?¡± Her indignant words gained the approval of the crowd. ¡°You¡¯re right, they all treat people like fools!¡± ¡°Do you really think we¡¯re blind? there were quite a few people who saw what happened just now.¡± ¡°You broke such an expensive ne just like that. You shouldpensate the boss.¡± The situation had turned one-sided, which was within joesse¡¯s expectations. She did think that Zhao Hai ¡®er would seek her own death, but she did not expect that she would give her something to use against her. If Zhao Hai ¡®er was a normal person, she would not have broken the ne. In the end, it was her own fault. Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth. Her face was red, and even her eyes were bloodshot. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they were in public and it wasn¡¯t convenient to do so, she would have gone up and torn Lin ya up. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I can¡¯t take full responsibility!¡± In order not to lose money, Zhao Hai ¡®er chose to act shamelessly. Unfortunately, she had chosen the method that would not yield any results. Joes fixed her gaze on Zhao Hai ¡®er and furrowed her brows slightly before rxing them. She revealed a smile and looked very polite and distant.¡±¡±Miss Zhao, I don¡¯t think you can make the decision on your own. There¡¯s a surveince camera in my shop. Why don¡¯t we take a look at the camera before we talk?¡± Ever since Joes had been scammed a year ago, she had been cing great importance on surveince cameras. Li Chang had to check the surveince cameras in the shop every day to make sure that there were no problems before opening the shop. Otherwise, if something really happened and the surveince cameras were broken, then there would be no way to exin. Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Chapter 460-it¡¯s still my loss

It had to be said that joesse was very good at predicting the future. It was only the first day of the store¡¯s opening and she had already encountered a problem. Furthermore, it was Zhao Hai ¡®er, a scoundrel. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were many observant people in the shop, as well as the surveince cameras and security guards, he might have already slipped away. Right now, Joes was very satisfied with her actions of cing importance on the surveince. Zhao Hai ¡®er choked when she heard Joes¡¯ threatening words. She did not know what to say. Her eyes flickered and she looked away slightly, as if she had not heard what Joes had said. Looking at this scene, Joes did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and said,¡±¡±It seems like miss Zhao is still unwilling to ept this fact. I¡¯m not the kind of person who forces others. Why don¡¯t we call the police and see how we¡¯re going to pay for this!¡± Towards the end, joesse¡¯s tone instantly turned sharp. Her sharp gaze made Zhao Hai ¡®er shiver, as if she was being stared at by something terrifying. After all, joesse had been the president of Xing Yuan design for so long and had always been all-powerful in the business world. She still had her own aura. It would be strange if Zhao Hai ¡®er did not feel flustered. Seeing that Lin ya was still silent and rather flustered, joesse pursed her red lips and said to Lin ya,¡±¡±Little ya, just call the police. ...... If we don¡¯t call the police, we won¡¯t be able to handle today¡¯s matter. ¡± ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll call the police now and let them handle this. ¡± Lin ya immediately nodded. At this time, she was still a little clever. She took out her phone and was about to call the police. The next moment, Zhao Hai ¡®er rushed forward to stop Lin ya, her voice trembling as she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t call the police, don¡¯t call the police! We can have a good discussion. ¡± ¡°Discuss properly?¡± Lin ya took a step back and chuckled, in case Zhao Hai ¡®er went crazy and snatched her phone away. This Zhao Hai ¡®er was really asking for it. They had discussedpensation earlier, but she refused. On the contrary, now that it had escted to the point of calling the police, she suddenly became afraid and decided to renegotiate. ¡°You¡¯re willing to lose money after a good discussion? If you don¡¯t have that thought, don¡¯t dy me from calling the police. ¡± Lin ya pretended to be impatient and picked up her phone again, but Zhao Hai ¡®er was really afraid. She was most afraid of the security guards, just likest time at the court. The Qiao family didn¡¯t even dare to make a sound. Zhao Hai ¡®er was the first to throw away her pride when it came to this. She swallowed her saliva and struggled for a while. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t call the police, I¡¯ll pay for it, okay?¡± Hearing this, Lin ya¡¯s hand paused, and she put down her phone. Her eyes were suspicious.¡±Really?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was on the verge of tears. If she had known that she would lose $100000 by entering joesse¡¯s shop, she would not havee in no matter what. In the end, not only did he have to pay, but he had also lost all his face! Hatred shed in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes, but she hid it well and didn¡¯t let anyone see it. Only Joes felt that something was amiss. She didn¡¯t care about this matter, but smiled and said,¡±¡±Since miss Zhao has agreed topensate, then let¡¯s talk in private. There are so many people in the shop, it¡¯s not good to disturb other customers. Please follow me if you¡¯re looking for ady. ¡± With that, joesse and the other two led Zhao Hai ¡®er to the staff lounge on the first floor. This time, even if the onlookers wanted to watch the show, they couldn¡¯t see it and could only surround it. They also wanted to know the results, but since it was the first day of the store¡¯s opening, Joes did not want to make a big deal out of it. Seeing that everyone had left, many people who hade to watch the show still wanted more, but they also dispersed. There were so many beautiful pieces of jewelry in the store, and they could always attract attention. In the lounge. The staff lounge was very spacious. Other than a row of neat cabs, there was also a ce to touch up makeup and a toilet. Before she came to the shop, Joes had already inspected it and was very satisfied. After entering the resting room, Joes sat on the chair naturally and looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had an ugly expression. Lin ya and Wang Li also knew that this matter could be handed over to Joes to handle, so they found a ce to sit down and did not say anything. ¡°Sit.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and reminded Zhao Hai ¡®er after seeing that she did not dare to sit down. Zhao Hai ¡®er still did not dare to meet her gaze. After smiling awkwardly, she sat at a spot further away from joesse. At the same time, Joes ced the ne that she had been holding in her hands on the table. The light shone on it. It also allowed people to see it more clearly. Unless the ne was remade, there was no way to repair it at the current level of damage. After taking a look, the corners of joesse¡¯s lips curled up as she smiled and said,¡±¡±There are no outsiders here. Zhao Hai ¡®er, I won¡¯t extort you for this ne. You¡¯llpensate me however much the selling price is. You don¡¯t have any objections to me saying this, right?¡± Joes ¡®eyes were smiling, but in Zhao Hai¡¯ er¡¯s eyes, she was clearly mocking her. This B * tch! Zhao Hai ¡®er took a deep breath. Her sharp nails dug into her palm. She was so angry that she could not breathe. After a moment, she calmed down a little and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth,¡±¡±...No problem.¡± ¡°Good, you¡¯re so straightforward.¡± Joes¡¯s smile deepened. She ignored the ne on the table and said,¡±¡±As for thepensation, I¡¯ll get store manager li toe in and settle it with you. If there¡¯s a single cent less, we¡¯ll reject it. The price will be 102000 Yuan, understand?¡± ¡°...Understood.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er felt that she could no longer hold back the anger in her heart, but Joes and the rest did not have any intention of leaving. 100,000 Yuan ... She felt as if her heart was bleeding. Joesse nodded in satisfaction as she admired Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heartache. She then beckoned Lin ya and the other girl to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let store manager li handle it. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The two of them followed her out of the staff breakroom, leaving Zhao Hai ¡®er alone in therge break room. She was just about to get up and smash everything in the lounge to vent her anger, but just as she picked up the chair, she put it down uneasily. ording to that B * tch joesse¡¯s personality, if she really smashed the things in her shop, she might have topensate in the end! After smashing here and there, he was still the one at a loss! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face was twisted with anger. Chapter 460 - Let the guards deal with it

Chapter 460: Let the guards deal with it

If it was any other time, she might not care so much and might have directly taken action. However, it was different now. Zhao Hai ¡®er was scared of Joes. The court had given herpensation thest time, and it was the same this time. Not only Zhao Hai ¡®er, but the Qiao family was also scared of her. He didn¡¯t get a good result every time, and he lost money every time. It was no different from cutting meat off their bodies. To the Qiao family, money was the most important thing. This was also the main reason why they did not dare to provoke Qiao si. Zhao Hai ¡®er red at the door and mmed her palm on the table, making a loud noise. Jossi and Lin ya, who had left, had not gone far, so they naturally heard the voice. Lin ya stopped in her tracks and pouted.¡±¡±Sisi, do you think Zhao Hai ¡®er will vent her anger on the things in the staff breakroom?¡± Thinking of this, she was also a little worried. After all, the things inside were all for the store employees. If there were any losses, Joes would have to bear the responsibility. Leaving Zhao Hai ¡®er alone in there was indeed a little worrying. Joes¡¯s smile was enigmatic. Even though she didn¡¯t say anything, Lin ya could feel that she was very confident in this matter. At this moment, Wang Li, who was at the side, exined,¡±¡±Zhao Hai ¡®er wants to touch him, but she has to see if she has the guts and if she has money.¡± ...... She revealed a smile, obviously thinking of something funny. Lin ya was suddenly enlightened and pped her thigh. She finally understood why Joes was so assured that Zhao Hai ¡®er would be in the resting room. Zhao Hai ¡®er would have to pay 100000 Yuan for destroying the ne, and she did not even dare to resist. If they really touched the things in the staff breakroom and it involved personal privacy, who knew how muchpensation they would have to pay. If Zhao Hai ¡®er was rich, she wouldn¡¯t have to care about this loss. Unfortunately, she wasn¡¯ t. ¡°Sisi, that¡¯s really high!¡± Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up. She truly admired Joes. Hearing this, joesse could not help butugh.¡±Don¡¯t praise me like that. I only said a few words casually. The key is still on her.¡± If she didn¡¯t throw the ne around, she wouldn¡¯t have to pay 100000 Yuan. ¡± The matter ofpensation was the same no matter who it was. This was the image that joesse wanted the store to establish. She wanted the store to be polite to her customers and treat them like gods. However, if something really happened, she wouldn¡¯t be afraid of anyone. There were so many surveince cameras in the store to prevent such things from happening. ¡°You¡¯re right. Sisi, you go find Li Chang. This matter should be resolved soon. There are more and more customers in the shop now. Li Li and I will continue with our work. Let us know when you¡¯re done. ¡± Lin ya said. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded. After that, Lin ya and Wang Li split up to help the customers in the shop who needed help. Joes, on the other hand, went to the front desk and told Li Chang what had just happened. The front desk wasn¡¯t far from where they were just now, so he had seen the hugemotion. He had intended to deal with it himself. However, when he saw that Joes hade down and seemed to know Zhao Hai ¡®er, Li Chang did not interfere. ¡°As forpensation, you have to be sure that it¡¯s not a single cent less. It¡¯ll be sold at the price of our ne.¡± Joes said with a stern expression. . Li Chang naturally understood and said with a smile,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao. I know what to do. I¡¯ll handle it now. If everything goes well, it should be settled in ten minutes. ¡± ¡°Go on.¡± With that, Li Chang went to the resting room to look for Zhao Hai ¡®er. As expected, she did not dare to touch anything in the resting room. It was exactly as joesse had expected. Li Chang had no human emotions at all, and the moment he entered, he started talking to Zhao Hai ¡®er about thepensation. He even gave her the store¡¯s ount number and directlypensated her right now. Otherwise, there was no way to resolve this matter. Zhao Hai ¡®er had no choice but to return the money in order to leave. 102,000 Yuan, not a single cent less! When she swiped the card, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face twisted in pain. However, under Li Chang¡¯s threat, she did not dare to refuse. If he didn¡¯t pay today, he might not be able to walk out of this shop. He had better leave as soon as possible and act pitiful in front of Qian Yu. ¡°I ... Can I go now?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s fingers trembled as she kept the ID card. Li Chang didn¡¯t even look at her. After the list was printed out, he split it into two. One was for himself, and the other was for Zhao Hai ¡®er. This was also a piece of evidence. Fortunately, there was a recording. Li Chang also felt that this matter was very important. After everything was done and 102000 Yuan had been transferred to his ount, Li Chang nodded and said,¡±¡±Looking for youngdy, since the matter hase to this, it can be considered as even. We have a copy of thepensation, surveince footage, voice recording, and the bill. So, when miss Zhao leaves, don¡¯t say anything. ¡± ¡°Otherwise, if this evidence were to be spread out, I don¡¯t know what kind of consequences it would cause.¡± This was a threat! Zhao Hai ¡®er understood that Li Chang was warning her not to say anything after she left. ¡°You ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious, but she didn¡¯t dare to show it on her face. She could only stomp her feet. After he was done venting, he turned around and left the lounge. Once Zhao Hai ¡®er left the resting room, she was exposed to the gazes of the crowd. It was as if she was an animal being watched in a Zoo. What had happened just now was still vivid in their minds, and the heat had not subsided at all. Everyone also wanted to know what the consequences would be. Seeing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er was embarrassed and shouted,¡±¡±What are you looking at? mind your own business!¡± After shouting, she quickly fled the shop, leaving behind a sorry figure. As for the passersby who had been yelled at for no reason, it was naturally impossible for them to calm down just like that. Some of the more petty people even took out their phones to take a picture and muttered,¡±¡±He really is a shameless person.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it? If it wasn¡¯t for the boss¡¯s appearance just now and saying that he was going to call the police, who knows if she¡¯s going to return the money or not. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s best to let the guards deal with this kind of person!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. The boss just now was so calm and handsome. He even sold a hundred thousand Yuan item so calmly. It¡¯s as if you don¡¯t care about it. A boss should have this kind of demeanor. ¡± ¡°If I met such a shameless person, I probably wouldn¡¯t be able to do it either. He just scolded me directly. He really doesn¡¯t have any quality at all!¡± Chapter 461 - A month younger

Chapter 461: A month younger

The customers in the shop were all cursing and swearing. Because of this incident, they had made many friends who had the same opinion. Joes did not expect that this matter would attract so much attention. She stood on the second floor and watched the scene, a smile appearing on her face. After leaving Zhao Hai ¡®er, he didn¡¯t know what kind of evil person he had be in the eyes of passers-by. After she left the shop, she returned to Qian Yu¡¯s car. Qian Yu¡¯s face turned red from anger, and he immediately noticed that something was amiss. He asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? what happened?¡± There was still a trace of panic in his heart. In a store of this grade, if his family member were toe, the consequences would naturally be unimaginable. This was also the reason why Qian Yu did not choose to enter. If he was discovered, he would not be able to stay in the city. Hearing Qian Yu¡¯s words, Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t think too much about it. She looked a little better and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing much. I just broke a ne in the shop. That store manager really has no ss at all. It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t want to pay, but I¡¯m still holding on to this matter!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er had perfected her ability to distort the truth. She was clearly in the wrong just now, but now, with Qian Yu, she had be a victim. Hearing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯sints, Qian Yu let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with that? if that¡¯s the case, don¡¯te to this shop again. ...... I¡¯ll take you to another shop and buy you an expensive ne, how about that?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. She concealed the greed in her eyes and looked at Qian Yu in a flirtatious way, saying,¡±¡±Brother Qian, I knew you¡¯re the best.¡± ¡°Of course. Okay ... I¡¯ll take you to dinner now. Let¡¯s go.¡± Qian Yu didn¡¯t say much. After he finished speaking, he started the car and left star Yuan store with Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had suffered a loss. Zhao Hai ¡®er also remembered this loss in her heart, and her hatred for joesse increased. Unfortunately, no matter how much she hated Joes, she could not cause any trouble for her. At this moment, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s target, Joes, was helping out in the shop. Soon, an afternoon had passed. That afternoon, Joes and Lin ya had a very fulfilling time. Apart from mealtimes, they barely stopped for a rest. In the meantime, she also sent a message to Zheng Zeyi, saying that her performance today was very good. In the end, he received a round of praise. Lin ya and Wang Li happened to be right next to her when Joes received the news. The gossipy Lin ya saw this message and couldn¡¯t help but tease Joes. Although she was rebuked in the end, it didn¡¯t affect her mood. At night. Li Chang closed the door of the shop. It was already eighto¡¯ clock in the evening, the closing time that the shop had set in advance. After closing the door, Lin ya almostid on the ground to rest. She said,¡±¡±I¡¯m so tired today. ¡± ¡°Me too,¡± It was rare for Wang Li to agree, but it was clear that this was indeed the truth. At first, there was no need for the two of them, but when they finally opened, they didn¡¯t expect the business to be so hot. The restaurant was almost full of customers, and they only managed to receive a small portion of them even though all of them hade personally. All in all, apart from Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s unpleasant episode, today was a very good day. ¡°It¡¯s normal to be tired,¡± Joes said with a smile.¡±Today is the first day, so the customers are more curious. After that, I¡¯ll be able to slowly rx, and it¡¯ll be more stable. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Lin ya nodded, pretending to be serious. Most of the employees in the store had changed into their own clothes and gone home, except for one. It was the saleswoman who had been pestering Zhao Hai ¡®er earlier that day. Just as she was about to leave, she hesitated for a moment, but still came before Joes and said,¡±¡±Boss, I¡¯m sorry for today. It¡¯s my fault.¡± The saleswoman¡¯s face was full of apology. She felt that she was responsible for today. After hearing her words, Joes was slightly taken aback. She then revealed a smile and said helplessly,¡±¡±Today¡¯s matter has nothing to do with you. You don¡¯t have to apologize to me. ¡± From the start, it was Joes who wanted her to show the ne to Zhao Hai ¡®er, so it naturally had nothing to do with her. After that, Zhao Hai ¡®er had lost her mind and threw the ne so hard. Otherwise, this would not have happened. It could only be said that there was a cause and effect. On the other hand, the saleswoman was apologetic about this matter. Until now, she had not calmed down. She clutched the strap of her bag and said gratefully,¡±¡±Thank you, boss, but I still have a problem. The boss doesn¡¯t me me because he¡¯s kind. I¡¯ll work harder in the store to promote in the future. ¡± Joesse¡¯s pupils contracted as she chuckled and replied,¡±¡±Alright, then you have to work hard.¡± ¡°Thank you, boss. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± After she finished speaking, the shop assistant left the shop with her bag. Joes watched her leave and retracted her gaze after a while. Lin ya also stared at it for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said,¡±¡±This little girl knows how to conduct herself well.¡± This matter had nothing to do with her, but by saying so, Jossi would have a good impression of her. It wasn¡¯t that she was scheming, but Lin ya felt that she knew how to behave. Wang Li gave a rarepliment,¡±you¡¯ve got a good eye today. You¡¯re finally self-aware.¡± Considering your age, it¡¯s normal to call her a little girl. ¡± ¡°Wang Li!¡± After Lin ya came back to her senses, she couldn¡¯t help but roar. When it came to age, how could she hold back? ¡°I¡¯m not that old this year either, alright? you¡¯re about the same age as me! Where do you have the face to criticize me!¡± Lin ya was about to roll her eyes. Wang Li didn¡¯t care at all. She said calmly,¡±¡±So what? I¡¯m still younger than you, a month younger. ¡± ¡°Zzzzzzzz ...¡± A soft sound was heard. It was Lin ya grinding her teeth in anger. During this period of time, Wang Li had been ¡°mocking¡± Lin ya¡¯s age. The key was that Lin ya couldn¡¯t retort because Wang Li was indeed younger than her. As a result, Lin ya had been living in the shadow of her old age recently, and she had been washing her face with tears all day long. She was really pitiful. Seeing the two jokers about to start a fight again, Joes helplessly held her forehead and said,¡±¡±Alright, you two stop quarreling. Didn¡¯t they say that they were going to have hotpot tonight? Let¡¯s check the sales volume and see who got it right. ¡± Chapter 462 - Something feels wrong

Chapter 462: Something feels wrong

The two of them only quieted down when they were on serious business. Lin ya smacked her head.¡±Oh, right. I almost forgot about betting. Let¡¯s go and check the turnover!¡± After saying that, Lin ya pulled Jossi and Wang Li to the front desk. Li Chang also knew a little about the bet. He hadn¡¯t left yet. When he saw the three people walking over, he raised his eyebrows slightly. The next moment, Li Chang turned on hisputer and the sales for the day was disyed on theputer page. However, Li Chang didn¡¯t say it out loud. Instead, he gave up a spot for joesse and the others to take a look. ¡°I¡¯ll read it first!¡± Lin ya was so excited that she ran to theputer, her eyes almost touching the screen. She stared at the numbers on the screen and blinked in surprise. It was as if he didn¡¯t expect this to happen. Upon seeing this, joesse was also curious and asked,¡±¡±Little ya, what¡¯s the turnover? You¡¯re so shocked that you can¡¯t even speak. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, don¡¯t tell me you guessed right?¡± Wang Li said with a smile and a hint of ridicule. The two of them looked at each other and went to theputer. They finally saw today¡¯s sales. ...... After Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯spensation of 100000 Yuan, it was 210000 Yuan! Two hundred and ten thousand? Even Joes was shocked. This was only the first day of business, and they had already achieved a turnover of over 200000. This was jewelry and not anything else. It could be seen that today¡¯s guest was really generous. More importantly, Lin ya won the bet! Li Chang smiled and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know if I should congratte President Qiao or Ms. Lin.¡± Hearing his words, Lin ya was even happier. She reached out and patted him on the shoulder, as if they were brothers. ¡°Sure enough, store manager li is a good talker. Are you free tonight? do you want to have hot pot with us? It¡¯s not my treat anyway, so please don¡¯t stand on ceremony, manager li. ¡± Li Chang couldn¡¯t help butugh at her bold appearance. He shook his head slightly and said,¡±¡±I appreciate miss Lin¡¯s kind intentions, but I still have something to do tonight. So I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t apany you. Miss Lin, you can just enjoy your meal. ¡± ¡°Alright then ...¡± Lin ya felt a little regretful. Li Chang was a person she liked very much, so she felt a little regretful that they couldn¡¯t eat together. Seeing this, Wang Li, who was at the side, came over and said with a smile,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? are you in a bad mood now that you¡¯re not with manager li?¡± Ever since she came to this store, Wang Li had noticed that Lin ya¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t leave Li Chang. Now that he thought about it, she might be interested in him. ¡°What are you saying!¡± The embarrassed Lin ya red at Wang Li and then turned to Li Chang and said apologetically,¡±¡±She¡¯s always like this. Don¡¯t take her words to heart. ¡± This scene looked like a reversal of identity. Wang Li was stunned. She never thought that she would be lectured by Lin ya one day. She couldn¡¯t help but feel helpless. On the other hand, joesse was standing at the side, watching the show with great joy. Elder li was quite generous and didn¡¯t care about these jokes. He smiled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. We¡¯re all friends. It¡¯s normal to joke around. I¡¯ll be leaving now, see you tomorrow. ¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin ya waved at Li Chang and watched the slender figure leave the shop with a smile on her face. There were only the three of them left in the shop, so it was a little quiet. Seeing that Lin ya didn¡¯t react for a long time, joesse raised her eyebrows and took a step forward, waving her hand in front of her.¡±¡±Stop looking, they¡¯ve all left!¡± ¡°Sisi!¡± Lin ya¡¯s face flushed red. She pretended to be angry and stomped her feet, but it didn¡¯t hurt at all. ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. However, you¡¯re really a God-diviner today. You even guessed the turnover correctly.¡± Speaking of this, joesse could not help but feel a little surprised. She had thought that the store¡¯s turnover would not exceed 100000 Yuan. In the end, after Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯spensation of 100000 Yuan, there was still 210000 Yuan of sales. It was indeed beyond his expectations. Naturally, Joes was extremely happy that her shop was doing well, so she immediately made a decision.¡±¡±The number I bet on should be the one with the greatest difference. Plus, today¡¯s sales are so high, so I¡¯ll treat you to the hotpot. How about it?¡± Her words instantly attracted the attention of Lin ya and Wang Li. Before Wang Li could say anything, Lin ya smiled and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. As the host, I¡¯ll let you treat me. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded and picked up her phone to look at the time. It had only been ten minutes since she got off work. It seemed to be veryte, but some hot pot restaurants in the city didn¡¯t close so early. There were even some that opened in the early morning. After looking at the time, Joes said,¡±¡±I think Anna is free today. Don¡¯t you know each other? Why don¡¯t I call Anna over, and we can have hot pot together?¡± Her lips curled into a sweet smile. Speaking of which ... Lin ya and Wang Li knew Chen Anna because of the jewelry theft that happened a year ago. At that time, Joes was almost sent to prison. If Chen Anna had not sought the help of detective Wen and Lin ya to find evidence, who knew what would have happened in the end. It was also because of this incident that they had turned from strangers to friends. After hearing what joesse said, Lin ya immediately said excitedly,¡±¡±Alright, sisi, bring Anna along. We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. This is a good opportunity for us to have a good chat. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. It¡¯s been a few weeks since west met. ¡± Wang Li smiled. Joes gave them an ¡®ok¡¯ sign, then picked up her phone and called Anna Chen. ¡°Toot ...¡± The sound of the phone being dialed was even clearer in the quiet shop. Soon, Chen Anna picked up the phone, and her nasal voice came through,¡±¡±Hello? Sisi?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me. ¡± Joes took a look at the screen and asked in confusion,¡±¡±You don¡¯t sound right. Did you catch a cold?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s voice was usually very ¡°loud¡±, not as weak as it was now. Chen Anna helplessly sighed and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. I was just caught in the rain when it was raining. I¡¯m much better now, there¡¯s basically no problem, but my voice still has a nasal sound, and I just woke up. ¡± ¡°You just woke up?¡± Joes blinked her eyes. It was already eight or nine in the evening. Chapter 463 - How about we change the bottom of the pot

Chapter 463: How about we change the bottom of the pot

However, she really didn¡¯t know about Chen Anna¡¯s cold and had never heard her mention it. For the past few days, Jossi had been busy with thepany and the store, so she did not pay much attention to these things. At the thought of this, Joes felt a little apologetic and gave up on the idea of eating hotpot with Chen Anna. Since she had caught a cold, it was better for her to rest at home. Before Joes could finish her sentence, Anna Chen asked,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, why did you call me all of a sudden?¡± he asked. ¡°I don¡¯t have any now ...¡± Just as Joes was about to say that she did not have any more, Chen Anna chuckled and interrupted her,¡±¡±Are you looking for me to go out and eat?¡± Joesse was speechless. Sister, you¡¯ve already said what you wanted to say. She doesn¡¯t know what to say. Since this ancestor seemed to be very excited, Joes simply asked,¡±¡±I did ask you out to eat. Do you want to eat hot pot? Besides me, Xiaoya and Lili are also here. We said that we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time, so we came out for a gathering. ¡± ¡°Of course, we¡¯re going!¡± Chen Anna quickly made her decision. Then, Joes heard the sound of things being rummaged through from the other end of the phone. ...... As she rummaged through her clothes, she said,¡±¡±Wait for me. I¡¯ll be out in a while. I¡¯ll be quick!¡± ¡°Alright ...¡± Joes¡¯s mouth twitched and she continued,¡±¡±Then you should look for your clothes first. Remember to wear more. The wind is stronger at night. We¡¯ll wait for you at the hot pot restaurant.¡± ¡°Sure, no problem.¡± After hanging up the phone, joesse met Lin ya¡¯s expectant gaze. Joes slightly pursed her red lips and smiled,¡±¡±Anna has agreed. Let¡¯s go to the hot pot restaurant and wait for her.¡± ¡°She caught a cold?¡± As long as one was not a fool, they would understand what Joes meant when she told them to wear more clothes. After Jossi briefly exined to Lin ya and Wang Li, they finally rxed and decided to look for a hot pot restaurant with good food. As she was thest batch of people to leave the shop, Joes checked everything up and down. After confirming that there were no problems, she locked the door. Li Chang had a spare key with him, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about not being able to open the shop tomorrow. After keeping the keys, Joes and Lin ya got into the car and drove to the nearby business district. The night market was very noisy at night, and the sound of crowds could be heard everywhere. The colorful neon lights made the night market look even more lively, and the smell of barbecue and snacks could be smelled on the roadside. It was sote at night that people couldn¡¯t help but run out. After five minutes, Joes and the other two picked a hotpot restaurant not far from the Royal Restaurant. This hotpot restaurant had a good reputation, and the hotpot base was also a hundred-year-old secret recipe. It was very famous in this area. Even though Joes had heard of it before, this was her first time eating here. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look. ¡± Joes locked the car door, and the three of them carried their bags and entered the hot pot restaurant. Looking at the sea of people in the hall, Joes and the other two looked at each other and could not help but wonder if they could still get a seat. At this time, there were many people like them who came for supper. When the waiter saw the three of them, he quickly came up to them and said respectfully,¡±¡±Excuse me...Are you three guests?¡± ¡°There are four of them. There¡¯s still one who hasn¡¯t arrived yet.¡± Joes chuckled. Lin ya also came up and blinked her eyes, asking,¡±¡±Waiter, are there no private rooms avable today?¡± ¡°Private room?¡± The waiter pondered for a while, but his eyes lit up.¡±¡±My three guests, there¡¯s a small private room that can amodate four people. The private room is still empty. If you don¡¯t mind, I can show you around. ¡± ¡°Of course I don¡¯t mind,¡± It was Lin ya who spoke. Joes and Wang Li also nodded, indicating that they had no problems with it. Then, the waiter brought the three of them to the empty room for four. It wasn¡¯t as crowded and narrow as he had imagined. It actually looked quite spacious and bright, but the table was a little smaller. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you. ¡± Hearing Jossi¡¯s polite voice, the waiter was a little overwhelmed and quickly waved his hand.¡±¡±Customer, this is what I should do.¡± At the same time, Chen Anna had just arrived at the hot pot restaurant. Because she was in a hurry, her nose was covered with a thinyer of sweat. After she casually wiped it, the phone in her pocket vibrated. Chen Anna quickly picked it up and took a look. Indeed, she saw the private room number that Joes had sent. She knew that it was this hotpot restaurant because after choosing this restaurant, Joes and the rest had sent the location to her. Five minutester. ¡°Long time no see, Anna!¡± Lin ya raised her head and saw Chen Anna pushing the door open. She couldn¡¯t help but wave in surprise. Hearing this, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes widened and she said with a smile,¡±¡±Long time no see, little ya, long time no see, Lili.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time,¡± Wang Liughed. After greeting each other, Chen Anna took a seat. The reason why he did not greet Joes was also because this was how they interacted. If he really said that, he would seem a little distant. ¡°Have you all ordered?¡± Chen Anna said as she picked up the menu on the table. She almost drooled when she saw the ingredients on the menu. She had rested at home for the whole day. Other than having something to eat in the morning, she had not eaten anything in the afternoon. Ye chen had actually prepared lunch for her. It was in the refrigerator so she could eat it directly after heating it up. However, Chen Anna waszy and did not touch anything in the refrigerator at all. She just slept until the sky turned dark. If not for Joes¡¯s sudden call at night, Chen Anna would have just finished a piece of bread. Seeing that Anna Chen was flipping through the menu in high spirits, Joes kindly reminded her,¡±¡±We¡¯ve already ordered the dishes before you came. But if you want to eat something, you can call the waiter to add more dishes. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We also took into ount that you have a cold. Although it¡¯s not too serious, it¡¯s better to eat something light. So, we chose a clear soup base.¡± Lin ya raised her eyebrows. Clear soup ... Pot bottom ... Chen Anna felt that her expectations were suddenly dashed. She had thought that she would be able to eat spicy hot pot. In the end, because of the cold, it actually affected the bottom of the pot. I can¡¯t take it anymore! Anna Chen¡¯s eyes turned to look at Joes and said,¡±Sisi, why don¡¯t we change the bottom of the pot?¡± Chapter 464 - Do you have any intention to join?

Chapter 464: Do you have any intention to join?

¡°It¡¯s a clear soup base. It¡¯s nd and has no taste at all. If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll ept a double pot.¡± For the sake of her own food, Chen Anna tried her best to fight for it. Unfortunately, Joes already knew what she was going to say, and her attitude was firm.¡±¡±You say that every time, so it¡¯s impossible to change this time.¡± He still remembered that a long time ago, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t eat spicy food because of her throat problem. Originally, they were not even allowed to eat hotpot. However, Chen Anna kept dragging Joes along, so they had no choice but to enter the hotpot restaurant. Joes nned to eat some clear soup so that her throat would not get worse. However, how did Anna Chen put it up nicely back then, telling Joes not to give up on the delicious food for her? In the end, as soon as the double hotpot was served, Chen Anna ate it as if it was food. Even if Joes wanted to stop her, she could not do it in time. As a result of the indulgence, Chen Anna¡¯s throat was so painful that she could only eat porridge for a week. Hence, after learning her lesson, there was no way that Joes would agree with Chen Anna¡¯s words. Since she had said so, Chen Anna also knew that the hope was slim, so she chose to give up and closed the menu in her hand. ¡°If it¡¯s a clear soup, then so be it. It¡¯s better than nothing.¡± She consoled herself in her heart, and her mood quickly improved. She began to chat with Lin ya and Wang Li. ...... They were talking about ye chen. Hearing Chen Anna praise ye chen as if he was the only one in the world, Joes almost spat out the water she had drunk. Based on Chen Anna¡¯s description, others might believe that she was a God. Lin ya and Wang Li also knew that beauty was in the eye of the beholder for Chen Anna. Although ye chen was outstanding, he was not the strongest. When Lin ya first found out that Chen Anna¡¯s boyfriend was ye chen, she was shocked. After epting the truth, he was much calmer. The hotpot restaurant acted very quickly. In just a few minutes, the dishes that Joes and the rest had just ordered were served. The clear soup pot also began to boil, and the fragrance was overflowing, making people¡¯s appetites greatly increase. Joes used her chopsticks to put food into the pot as she asked,¡±¡±Anna, have you been living with ye chen recently?¡± ¡°Cohabitation?!¡± The surprised voice came from Lin ya. Chen Anna¡¯s hand trembled in fear, and her chopsticks almost fell into the pot. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and put the chopsticks on the table. Facing the curious gazes of her three friends, Chen Anna swallowed her saliva and chose to answer truthfully. ¡°You could say ... We¡¯re cohabiting, but we don¡¯t live together every day. Sometimes, he¡¯lle back to stay for a few days.¡± At this point, Chen Anna¡¯s eyes flickered, and she felt a little guilty. On the surface, she had said that she was here to stay for a few days. In reality, there was no difference between staying here and being a nanny for ye chen. Not only did he have to wash the clothes, but he also had to be responsible for Chen Anna¡¯s food. Ye Chen¡¯s cooking was very good. Chen Anna had been eating his cooking frequently these days and had gained some weight. ¡°You two are really fast.¡± Joes could not help but reveal a smile as she ced a piece of tofu into the bowl. ¡°Cohabiting?¡± Lin ya teased,¡±isn¡¯t that like lightning striking the earth?¡± . ¡°That¡¯s reasonable. ¡± It was rare for Wang Li to agree. It was clear that they were still very interested in this matter. Chen Anna¡¯s face turned red. She fanned herself with her hands while covering up her guilty conscience and eating. At the same time, he said in a muffled voice,¡±that¡¯s enough. Everything has been served. You guys should just eat.¡± Looking at Chen Anna¡¯s ostrich-like behavior, Joes could not help butugh. However, she did not continue teasing her. Instead, he chatted with Lin ya and the others about other things. Qiao si si was also questioned. Fortunately, they were not too clear about her and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s recent situation. Otherwise, he would have known that the real Heavenly Thunder hooking the earthly fire was actually these two. ¡°Eat more of this.¡± Joes poured an entire te of tofu into the pot. Looking at the pot filled with hot ingredients, she could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness. Eating hotpot always gave people this feeling. Because of the high heat, the ingredients were almost cooked not long after they were put in. Lin ya deliberately turned down the power and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s still so much food left. Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s eat slowly. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± Chen Anna agreed immediately. She still had a meatball in her mouth, which was so hot that she couldn¡¯t speak clearly. After that, the four of them talked about thepany¡¯s future development, such as the design route. Anna Chen was a fashion designer, so she could give some advice on this. Thepany¡¯s current situation was actually quite good. It was just that after the renovation of the upper floors waspleted, there were not enough manpower now. Thepany still needed to expand and recruit more jewelry designers and talents in other fields. ¡°Just leave this matter to the Human Resources Department. The head of the Human Resources Department is quite smart.¡± Lin ya said as she stuffed food into her mouth. What she said was not false. Xu Hai¡¯s ability to judge people was indeed very urate. However, there were times when people were wrong. For example, the collusion between Long Qian and Jianghai was a big mistake. Of course, joesse did not me Xu Hai. She just felt that she needed to pay more attention to the recruitment of employees. Thepany was the foundation. Only when thepany was good could the employees get better. That was why joesse ced so much importance on it. ¡°It seems that ... I really have to find time to have a good chat with Xu Hai. The renovation is almost done. I have to prepare for the recruitment of employees as soon as possible.¡± Joes nodded slightly. At this moment, Wang Li added,¡±I have a few college ssmates who also studied jewelry design. It seems that they don¡¯t have a job yet.¡± If you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll ask themter to see if they have any intention of joining. ¡± The credibility of the people Wang Li knew could be guaranteed. Joes was rather surprised as she smiled and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you. If you can ¡®t, you don¡¯t have to force yourself.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± he said. The four of them looked at each other and chuckled. They picked up the sses in their hands in tacit understanding. However, the sses were not filled with wine, but orange juice. They weren¡¯t that stupid. It was very dangerous to drink outside in the middle of the night. ¡°Bang ...¡± The cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Everyone drank the orange juice in one gulp. After the satisfying feeling passed, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating the hotpot ingredients that had been cooked. The taste was better than they had imagined. Chapter 465

Chapter 465: Only when you are full will you have strength

Chen Anna was so touched that her tears fell like rain. After eating another meatball, it was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue. This hotpot restaurant was indeed worthy of being a hundred-year-old hotpot recipe. They really did have a hand. Even if it was the bottom of a clear soup pot, the ingredients inside still had a fragrance after being cooked. It was very delicious. Chen Anna gulped down half a ss of orange juice and wiped her mouth. She had just picked up her chopsticks when her hand stopped in mid-air. She seemed to have suddenly recalled something as she nced at Joes and the other two who were eating. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to reveal the matter. A momentter, Anna Chen said,¡±¡±Um ... There¡¯s something I need to tell you guys.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin ya asked curiously without putting down her chopsticks. Joes and Wang Li¡¯s gazes fell on Anna Chen. Even though they did not ask, they could see the doubt in their eyes. Chen Anna swallowed her saliva and squeezed out a smile,¡±¡±It¡¯s me and ye chen. We¡¯re getting ready to get engaged. ¡± As soon as these words came out, the whole ce was silent. It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. The ingredients in the hotpot were still cooking. The light in the private room shone on their faces, highlighting their shocked expressions. ¡°Engaged?!¡± ...... After recovering from their shock, Joes and the other two asked in unison, their voices filled with shock. Chen Anna¡¯s words were truly shocking this time. Joes and the others had not expected that she and ye chen were already so close to getting engaged. The two of them haven¡¯t been together for long, right? Joes was puzzled, but she did not hide her thoughts. She asked,¡±¡±Anna, I remember that you¡¯ve only been with ye chen for a short time. Getting engaged so soon, will there be any problems with his family? And have you thought it through?¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes¡¯s expression turned slightly grave. An engagement was not a small matter, but it did not mean that he could not change his mind after the engagement. However, for such an important matter, Joes still hoped that Chen Anna would be more cautious and confirm her own thoughts. ¡°That¡¯s right, Anna,¡± Lin ya quickly said.¡±Sisi is right. We have to think about the engagement.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve really thought it through?¡± Wang Li said. Chen Anna saw the shock and concern of the three people, and she couldn¡¯t help but show a sweet smile. Of course, she knew that these good friends were concerned about her, and it was impossible for them to not know what was good for them and waste their care. Chen Anna organized her words in her heart and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry. Since I¡¯ve decided to tell you about this matter, I¡¯ve already thought about it. Ye chen and I do feel that we¡¯re verypatible. Although we didn¡¯t have any spectacr experiences, I like this kind of peace. ¡± At this point, Chen Anna paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry about my family. They¡¯re very supportive of my engagement with ye chen. If I didn¡¯t say that we need to think about the time and that we don¡¯t need to be in such a hurry, they might have already prepared for our engagement party in the next few days. ¡± She almost couldn¡¯t control the urge to roll her eyes when she remembered how her family wanted Chen Anna to get married as soon as possible. However, they were only going to get engaged for now. They still needed to think about the time. . Since she had already said so, Joes and the rest could not say anything and could only nod. Joes pursed her red lips slightly and smiled faintly after a moment.¡±¡±You¡¯ve already made your decision, so we can only support you, right? Ye chen is indeed a gentleman. I also hope that the two of you can live well together. ¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Chen Anna raised her eyebrows yfully. Lin ya also quickly picked up her ss of orange juice and said,¡±¡±Me too, me too. We have to give you our blessings for such a big event.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes shed with a smile.¡±We¡¯re not engaged yet. What do you want to wish for?¡± ¡°I wish you the best for finding your Mr. Right.¡± Wang Li also raised her cup and smiled.¡±¡±You must invite us to the engagement party.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t invite you, who else should I invite?¡± Chen Anna¡¯s question made Joes and the other two chuckled, and the room was filled with crispughter. If it was really an engagement, Qiao sisi would definitely be the bridesmaid. Lin ya and Wang Li might be the bridesmaids as well. However, the date had not been set yet and the matter was still under consideration, so it was not mentioned. Lin ya blinked, picked up her cup, and said,¡±¡±Since Anna is so generous, I won¡¯t hide it anymore. I want to tell you something very important, and that is, I want to pursue Li Chang!¡± Lin ya thought that her friends would be shocked after she finished, but nothing happened. She was stunned and asked with a frown,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you feel surprised? I want to chase Li Chang!¡± In Lin ya¡¯s eyes, this was a big deal! Unfortunately, Joes and the others had already seen through her other thoughts about Li Chang. That was why she felt that it was normal when she heard it. Joes raised her brows and calmly picked up the crab meat. She said calmly,¡±¡±What¡¯s there to be surprised about? we all know that.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s a normal thing.¡± Wang Li agreed. The only person who was unclear about the situation was Anna Chen. However, she received the looks from Joes and Wang Li and immediately nodded her head,¡±¡±Oh, right. Manager li is a nice person.¡± ¡°You guys ...¡± Lin ya¡¯s face was filled with grief and indignation, but in the end, she could only turn her grief and indignation into appetite and start to eat some of the meatballs in her bowl. At the sight of this, Joes finally chuckled and patted her on the shoulder.¡±¡±Alright, we¡¯ll support you if you want to pursue Li Chang. Li Chang was sent over by ze Yi. He¡¯s capable and good-looking, so he should be quite suitable for you. ¡± The reason she said that was because Lin ya was obsessed with looks. Lin ya nodded heavily.¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯ll definitely get Li Chang. His personality is just right for me.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s try.¡± Wang Liughed and picked up a few meatballs from the pot and put them all in Lin ya¡¯s bowl.¡±¡±Eat more. You¡¯ll only have the strength to chase after me after you¡¯re full.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡±Lin ya gave him a thumbs up. After saying that, she began to finish the rest of the food in her bowl as fast as the wind. As for Lin ya¡¯s pursuit of Li Chang, Joes and the others had also provided some ideas. In fact, they didn¡¯t have much experience in pursuing someone. Most of them had seen it on the inte, and they felt that it was Okay, so they rmended it to Lin ya and let her try. Chapter 466

Chapter 466: You¡¯re too noisy

Lin ya didn¡¯t refuse and memorized all the methods. ording to her, since she didn¡¯t know what to do, she would try every method to see which one would work. The hotpot meal was a joyous and harmonious one. It was already 10 O¡¯ clock at night when the show ended. The noise in the hall outside the private room had be softer. It could be seen that at this time, many people had already left. Joes was a little full. She stood up and walked a few rounds before her full stomach felt a little better. Lin ya and the other two were also lying on the ground. As long as the few of them came out for a meal together, leftovers should be something that rarely appeared. ¡°Wait for me here for a while. I¡¯ll go pay the bill now and then send you home.¡± Joes said. Chen Anna was about to make an ¡°ok¡± gesture when she suddenly thought of something and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you don¡¯t have to see me off. I¡¯ve already spoken to ye chen. He¡¯ll be passing by hereter, so I¡¯ll just ask him to send me home. ¡± Caught off guard, he was stuffed with another mouthful of dog food. The corner of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. Before she could say anything, Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Chen Anna, will you die if you don¡¯t show off your affection?¡± ...... ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be hungry!¡± The voices of the two people bickering rang out. Wang Li moved to the side, trying her best to stay away from this terrifying battlefield. After that, joesse went to settle the bill. This hotpot did not cost as much as Jossi had imagined. She had thought that it would cost at least five hundred Yuan to order so many things. However, this hot pot restaurant was good and cheap. With so many ingredients, the price was only slightly over 400. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. After thanking the cashier at the front desk, Joes was just about to return to the private room when she realized that Anna Chen and the rest had already walked out with their arms around each other. She raised her eyebrows and followed him. The three of them walked to the door together. The weather that night was pretty good. The stars twinkled in the night sky. It wasn¡¯t too cold, but it wasn¡¯t hot either. Chen Anna searched at the entrance for a while and sessfully found ye Chen¡¯s car among the cars at the entrance. ¡°Ye Chen¡¯s right there! I¡¯ll go back first, see you next time!¡± Chen Anna greeted him with some excitement. Lin ya froze for a moment and looked at her with a probing look.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you going to take us to say hello?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look together,¡± Wang Li also smiled. Other than Lin ya, she had never seen ye chen before. It would be good to take this opportunity to see Chen Anna¡¯s boyfriend. They had some confidence in their judgment of people. Only Qiao sisi did not say anything because she knew ye chen and felt that he was a good person. ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Anna Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed. After she said that, she pulled Joes and the rest towards the car. The figures of these people attracted ye Chen¡¯s attention. He rolled down the window. When he saw Joes and the rest, a look of surprise shed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. ¡°Chen, these are my good friends.¡± Chen Anna winked at ye chen. Looking at his girlfriend¡¯s mischievous appearance, ye chen felt a little helpless. He opened the door and got out of the car. He picked up the jacket on the passenger seat and said,¡±¡±I know, but you¡¯re down with a cold today. Why are you still out?¡± Before anyone could react, ye chen put his coat on Chen Anna. She was wrapped up so tightly that not a single gust of wind could get in. . Chen Anna also knew that today¡¯s incident was her fault, so she lowered her head and did not refute. After another disy of affection, Joes and the rest were exhausted. Then, ye Chen¡¯s eyes fell on them and he said politely,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, miss Lin, this is ...¡± He had some impression of Lin ya, but he had never met Wang Li. Wang Li smiled and introduced herself,¡±¡±I¡¯m Wang Li. Hello.¡± ¡°Miss Wang, how are you?¡± Ye Chen¡¯s smile was as warm as Jade. He looked at Chen Anna lovingly and said,¡±¡±Anna caught a cold today, and I was busy with work, so I didn¡¯t take good care of her. I¡¯m still grateful that you guys brought her out for dinner. ¡± Ye Chen¡¯s EQ was very high. With just one sentence, he made Lin ya and the others have a good impression of him. ¡°It¡¯s okay, just be more careful next time. ¡± Lin ya made an ok gesture. The few of them stood together and chatted for a while. Although they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time and felt a little distant, the atmosphere didn¡¯t seem awkward. Finally, ye chen nced at the sky and held Chen Anna¡¯s hand.¡±¡±It¡¯s gettingte. Miss Qiao, do you want me to send you off? A few girls ... It¡¯s quite dangerous. ¡± ¡°No need,¡± Joes shook her head slightly, indicating her rejection. Lin ya and Wang Li were even more unlikely to agree. It was better for them not to disturb Chen Anna and ye Chen¡¯s two-person world. Seeing that they had all rejected him, ye Chen¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡±Then I¡¯ll take Anna and leave first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The three of them said in unison. Chen Anna¡¯s face was slightly red. After getting into the car, she reminded the few people through the window,¡±¡±Be careful on the road! I¡¯ll go back first. ¡± ¡°Alright, see you next time.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± After greeting each other, ye chen started the car and sped away with Chen Anna, leaving only a trail of exhaust. Joes and the other two stood on the spot, looking at each other. ¡°I¡¯ll send you home,¡± she said, Breaking the Silence.¡±How about it?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin ya had no intention of being polite with joesse. After making the decision, the three of them got into joesse¡¯s car. She started the car and drove away, while sending Zheng Zeyi a text message saying that she was going home. However, what the three of them didn¡¯t notice was that when the car started, a ck car followed behind. ¡­¡­¡­ Five minutester. Joes drove the car and looked at the map on the GPS. They would reach Wang Li¡¯s house in three to four minutes. Wang Li sat in the front passenger seat, and the two of them were very quiet. Only Lin ya, who was in the back seat, didn¡¯t stop talking. ¡°Shh!¡± Just as Lin ya was about to continue, Wang Li suddenly interrupted her. Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened in shock and she asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°You¡¯re too noisy. ¡± Wang Li¡¯s emotionless words made Joes burst outughing. However, Lin ya¡¯s face darkened, and she didn¡¯t say a word. The atmosphere in the car was extremely good. After driving for a while, Joes suddenly felt that something was not right. She looked through the mirror by the door and saw two ck cars following her car. Chapter 467

Chapter 467: I must be faster than them

Was it a coincidence? Or was it ... Intentional? At that moment, Jossi did not understand either. However, her eyes were twitching and she had a bad feeling. ¡°Look behind us, there are two ck cars following us.¡± With her hands on the steering wheel, Joes changed directions silently. It was useless to go to Wang Li¡¯s apartment now. If it was really as she thought, the people from the two cars behind would rush up to grab them as soon as they got out of the car. Joes could not take this risk. Just as she finished speaking, Lin ya and Wang Li were also shocked. They quickly turned around and saw two ck cars behind them. Lin ya looked a little shocked and said with difficulty,¡±¡±Sisi, could it just be a coincidence?¡± It waste at night. Although there were fewer people on this road, it was not to the extent that there was no one. Lin ya consoled herself in her heart, but in reality, she didn¡¯t feel any better. As soon as he said that, Wang Li immediately rejected it. ¡°¡±That¡¯s impossible. They¡¯ve been following us. I have better vision and can see that the driver is a man. Sisi wasn¡¯t driving very fast and there weren¡¯t many people on the road, but these people didn¡¯t want to overtake her. ¡± ...... Speaking of this, Wang Li paused and said with a serious expression,¡±¡±So, these people are most likelying for us.¡± Her spection was very reasonable. Joes drove at a slower speed because of her steady personality. She did not like to go too fast. However, the two cars behind them had no intention of overtaking them. They were following them slowly, which was enough to exin the problem. However, this was not the main reason. There was another reason. Joes let out a long sigh and told him everything she knew,¡±¡±I also thought it was a coincidence at first, but you guys probably didn¡¯t notice. From the moment we got in the car and left, these two cars have been following us and have not left!¡± There must be someone behind this! Joes¡¯s gaze turned cold. She looked at the car behind her and realized that they were getting closer and closer. Lin ya was obviously shocked and at a loss.¡±¡±They followed us from the start. What are they trying to do?¡± ¡°Who knows? let¡¯s call the police first.¡± Wang Li¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and started fiddling with it, preparing to call the police. Even if it might be a misunderstanding in the end, he couldn¡¯t put himself in danger. Looking at Wang Li¡¯s actions, joesse nodded her head slightly and said,¡±¡±Little ya, look behind you and see if they¡¯ve been following us. I¡¯ve changed direction. I¡¯m not going to Lili¡¯s house, but the guard station! I¡¯d like to see if they dare to continue following us. ¡± His sharp tone was mixed with a trace of handsomeness. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin ya¡¯s heart calmed down as well. She turned around to look at the car behind her, trying to hide herself as much as possible. Joes increased her speed, and the GPS in the car changed from Wang Li¡¯s home to the direction of the guard station. The nearest guard station is also a ten-minute drive. You must hold on! ¡­¡­¡­ Behind them. In the two ck cars, there were two muscr men with tattoos all over their bodies. They were the group of people who had previously traded with Jianghai. The leader of the group had his own name in the gray area. . However, they were all called Brother ck Dragon. The driver looked at the situation in front and frowned.¡±¡±Boss, those girls seem to have discovered us. There¡¯s something wrong with the way they¡¯re driving. I think they¡¯re heading to the guard station. ¡± ¡°The guard station?¡± ck Dragon frowned, but he quickly rxed and smiled.¡±¡±That means these girls are still very cautious.¡± This matter seemed to be more difficult than he had imagined. However, as long as he killed the woman driving the car, Joes, he would be able to get 10 million from Jianghai. Ten million was not a small amount. It was enough for them to live for a long time. Naturally, they would not let it go. Thinking of this, Brother ck Dragon stopped smiling and said,¡±¡±Those girls should be calling the police now. Where¡¯s the signal jammer? did you bring it?¡± ¡°I did, big brother!¡± The Lackey beside him quickly took out a signal jammer from his pocket. Following Brother ck Dragon¡¯s instructions, he turned on the signal jammer and the driver sped up to get closer to joesse¡¯s car. This way, the effect of signal interference would be greater. Sure enough! Under the interference of the signal jammer, Wang Li¡¯s mobile phone had no signal at all. She operated it for a long time, but she could not make a call at all. She wasn¡¯t stupid. She naturally knew that this matter might be rted to the two cars behind her. After taking a deep breath, Wang Li turned off her phone and said,¡±¡±Sisi, I can¡¯t help it. The phone can¡¯t be reached, and the signal is jammed. We can only speed up to the guard station now. If we are suddenly caught, those people will not let us go!¡± They even brought a signal jammer. They were clearly well prepared. Wang Li did not believe that they did not have any ulterior motives. After hearing Wang Li¡¯s words, Joes nodded her head seriously and stepped on the elerator.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll increase my speed!¡± The next moment, the car sped away. After getting her driver¡¯s license for so long, this was the first time Joes drove at such a high speed. Her goal was to escape from the pursuit of others. If he had told Joes before, she might not have believed him. They suddenly sped up. Wang Li grabbed the handrail beside her, and Lin ya quickly fastened her seat belt and grabbed the handrail. At the same time, he observed the movements of the two cars behind him through the mirror next to the passenger seat. ¡°Big brother, they¡¯ve increased their speed!¡± Brother ck Dragon¡¯s hand paused and he sneered,¡±¡±Increase our speed? You should also increase your speed and rush up! And Xiaohu¡¯s car, tell them to drive faster and stop the car in front. Don¡¯t let them have the chance to go to the guard station. ¡± ¡°Yes! Big brother!¡± After Brother ck Dragon gave the order, the two ck cars sped up. They had been driving for many years and had also done some street racing. Naturally, they were more familiar with this than joesse. In just a moment, they caught up with their car. ¡°Sisi.¡± Hearing Lin ya¡¯s nervous voice, beads of sweat formed on Jossi¡¯s forehead, but she had long since forgotten to wipe them off. Now ... He had to be faster than them! ¡°Swish!¡± Joes did not hesitate. She gritted her teeth and increased her speed, but the car beside her was even faster. In a short time, Xiao Wu¡¯s car had already arrived in front of them. Chapter 468

Chapter 468: Hurry up and stop being stunned

His path was blocked! Joes¡¯s pupils shrank and her eyelids twitched. The ominous feeling in her heart grew stronger. However, she had already tried her best, and her driving skills were not as good as these two people ¡®s! ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t worry. Hold on!¡± Wang Li, who was beside him, was also a little nervous. She held her phone to check the signal. It was obvious that as soon as there was a signal, she would not hesitate to call the police. Joes stared straight ahead, trying to overtake the ck car. Just as she was about to turn to another road ... The car in front suddenly braked and stopped in front of them! ¡®This is ...¡¯ Joes took a deep breath, her heart filled with shock. This was to stop them! ¡°No, I can only brake.¡± She was well aware of the current situation and distance, so there was no way to change course. Moreover, if she continued driving like this, there was a high possibility that she would crash into it! At that time, it was unknown how many of them would survive. Many thoughts shed through Joes ¡®mind, but she could not think too deeply about it. She immediately stepped on the brakes. ...... The sound of the tires screeching against the ground was very ear-piercing, and it was even more crisp on the empty road. After much effort, Joes finally stopped the car. Just as she was about to start the car again and leave, she realized that the person in the car in front of her had already alighted! There were three or four men in tank tops. Under the light, the tattoos on their bodies could be clearly seen. Although he didn¡¯t know much about them, he knew that they were definitely not good people. ¡°Sisi...What do we do now?¡± Lin ya was extremely nervous, but she still tried to calm herself down. Now that the people from the car in front had alighted, the car behind had also blocked Joes from changing her direction. Even if they didn¡¯t want to admit it, they had no choice but to admit that they were surrounded. As she watched the tattooed men walk towards her, Jossi squinted her eyes and said in an unusually calm voice,¡±¡±Lili, is there still no signal?¡± ¡°...No, I can¡¯t get through to any of them.¡± This was Wang Li¡¯s tenth attempt to call the police. However, due to the signal jammer, all ten attempts failed. Not only that, he couldn¡¯t even send out a message or notify anyone. It seemed that these people were well prepared and wouldn¡¯t stop until they caught them. Lin ya furrowed her brows and lowered her head in thought.¡±Could it be that the business of the shop is too good, so we have offended some people?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Joes shook her head slightly, indicating that the possibility was very small. She continued,¡±¡±If that¡¯s the case, they should have chosen to attack the shop. These people seem to be in the gray areas of city h all year round. If I¡¯m not mistaken, they should be thepany ... Or my enemies. ¡± Within a short period of time, a few candidates shed through Joes ¡®mind. She had some guesses in her heart, but she couldn¡¯t be sure. In this situation where there was no evidence, she couldn¡¯t be sure. Unless he saw some Fatal Evidence, he could use thew to protect himself while confirming the identity of the mastermind. ¡°Everyone, calm down. Let¡¯s see what they¡¯re going to do now. Remember to take whatever you have for self-defense.¡± This was not the first time that Joes had encountered such a situation. Right now, she was the calmest of the three. . ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Wang Li nodded her head and followed joesse¡¯s instructions to find the pepper spray hidden in the cubicle. There were a total of three bottles. Initially, Joes had prepared them in case of an emergency, but she did not expect them to be life-saving items. Wang Li passed the other two bottles of pepper spray to joesse and Lin ya and reminded them nervously,¡±¡±Be carefulter. We¡¯ll run immediately after it spits out!¡± At a time like this, nothing was more important than their lives. If they were caught by this group of people, the consequences would be even more unpredictable. No one knew what they were going to do. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll split up and run!¡± After the three of them reached a consensus, they held the three bottles of pepper spray tightly in their hands and watched as the people approached. After the people in this car got out, a few muscr men with tattoos also got out of the ck car. Only Brother ck Dragon stayed in the car, observing the situation from the passenger seat. ¡°Bang Bang!¡± When they arrived in front of Joes ¡®car, the few men immediately banged on the car door with great force, making a loud noise. One of the men with a cigarette in his mouth said with a bit of a ruffian¡¯s tone,¡±¡±Three girls, I advise you to open the car door quickly. Otherwise, you probably wouldn¡¯t be able to keep this car!¡± After saying that, he let out a coldugh. Even though they were in the car, Joes and the other two could hear his voice. They held onto the pepper spray in their hands tightly. ¡°Let¡¯s see what he¡¯s going to do. ¡± Joes squinted her eyes slightly, and in between, the man said a few more words for them to open the door. Seeing that the three of them remained unmoved, the man finally could not hold it in any longer and scolded,¡±¡±These three women don¡¯t seem to n on opening the door.¡± ¡°What do we do? Do you want to ask big brother?¡± One of his underlings said. The man shook his head, but he smiled and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to ask. We don¡¯t need to trouble big brother for such a small matter. We can solve it ourselves.¡± ¡°Settled?¡± The underling was still a little puzzled. If the person was in the car and didn¡¯t take the initiative to open the door, how was he going to solve the problem? The next moment, the tattooed man went to the trunk of the car and took out a few steel pipes. They always carried these things with them. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you just use the steel pipe to smash the ss? While there¡¯s still time, hurry up and stop standing there!¡± The tattooed man said as he threw the steel pipe to his underlings. He did not want to wait for such a long time. Since Joes and the rest had chosen not toe down, he would smash the car open! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s smash it now.¡± After theckeys received the steel pipes, they immediately made the decision to smash the metal pipes together with the tattooed man. Under the gazes of Joss and the others, the tattooed man with the steel pipe sneered and smashed the steel pipe against the ss window. ¡°Bang!¡± The loud noise was even more clear on the quiet road. Brother ck Dragon, who had been observing from afar, raised his eyebrows. He was quite satisfied with the tattooed man¡¯s actions. At the same time, joesse and the other two in the car were shocked and their expressions turned extremely ugly. The car window was smashed so hard that there was indeed a clear crack and debris on it. Obviously, if the tattooed man and hisckeys didn¡¯t stop and continued to smash the car, the car window might not be able to withstand the force and break! Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Do you believe that I will make you blind?

When the car window was smashed, it would be no different from catching turtles in a jar if they wanted to catch Joes and the rest. ¡°This man ... I really want to beat him to death!¡± Lin ya was so angry that her hand holding the pepper spray was trembling. She really couldn¡¯t understand why these people were so persistent. Joes¡¯s expression turned ugly as she said,¡±¡±They won¡¯t stop, they won¡¯t stop until they catch us. Therefore, we must think of another way to escape this ce. ¡± She was still somewhat clear about this matter. Now, with these people blocking the way, the car couldn¡¯t start, and it was even more impossible to get someone to call the police. The group of them carried a signal jammer with them, so the phones of Joes and the other two were in a state of no signal. It really wasn¡¯t an easy task to think of a way to save himself. ¡°Think of a way ...¡± Seeing that joesse was deep in thought, Wang Li was also a little nervous. She scanned her surroundings and said,¡±¡±Sisi, why don¡¯t we just drive away?¡± Staying in the car now was no different from waiting for death. ¡°Bang!¡± ...... Before the three of them coulde to a conclusion, the steel pipes of the other men fell on the car at the same time. The loud noise scared Lin ya so much that she quickly shrank back. She looked at the car window and saw that it was full of cracks. If nothing unexpected happened, after a few more knocks, the ss probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on. What to do! The three of them had the same thought. They looked at each other and saw the panic in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ahem.¡± Joes cleared her throat and forced herself to calm down before saying,¡±¡±We can¡¯t stay in the car anymore. We¡¯ll get out of the carter and split up!¡± ¡°Alright, now?¡± Jossi shook her head.¡±Not now. We¡¯ll just get out of the car and run when they smash the windows.¡± Having reached a consensus, the three of them leaned closer to the door on the right to ensure that they could escape at any time. Joes unbuckled her seat belt without a sound and pretended to shrink back in panic. The tattooed man appreciated their frightened looks and felt even more pleased. He said directly,¡±¡±All of you, be more serious. This time, smash it!¡± After saying that, he raised the steel pipe in his hand and smashed it on the car window, just like the other underlings. Crack ... Crack ... Along with the loud noise, there was the sound of ss shattering. The originally intact car windows were nowpletely unsightly. They had turned into shards and were all scattered in the car. If not for joesse¡¯s quick reaction, she would have been injured by the car windows. However, due to the improvement, a piece of broken ss fell on her knee, and the sharp edge cut her skin a little. Joes did not care about the wounds on her body. She nced at the car window and immediately made a decision,¡±¡±Run!¡± Her voice was so soft that only the three people in the car could hear her. This was what the three of them had agreed on from the beginning. So, after the tattooed men broke the ss, Wang Li and Lin ya opened the car door at the same time. That was because Joes was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat and she was thest one to leave the car. ¡°Run! Split up!¡± Joesse¡¯s face was filled with anxiety. Her left hand clenched tightly onto the pepper spray while her other hand picked up her phone to take a look. Sure enough, perhaps because they were too close, the signal jammer was still in effect. Her phone had no signal at all! ¡°Zeyi, it seems like I can only ce my hopes on you this time.¡± Joes thought to herself. When she left the hotpot restaurant, she had already sent Zheng Zeyi a message that she was going home. It was toote. With Zheng Zeyi¡¯s intelligence, he would definitely have noticed that something was wrong. A myriad of thoughts ran through her mind, but Joes did not show it on her face. She ran quickly in her white sports shoes. Wang Li and Lin ya weren¡¯t any worse off. In order not to be caught by these people, they came out with all their strength. Fortunately, the tattooed men were still gloating. They only came back to their senses after Joes and the other two had left the car! ¡°Damn, these girls still dare to run! Catch up!¡± After the tattooed man came to his senses, he was so angry that he couldn¡¯t even speak properly. He grabbed the steel pipe and chased after her. He did not care about Wang Li and Lin ya, who were in the other direction, but chased after Joes. When they were in the car, the tattooed man had already felt that joesse¡¯s reaction was a little too calm. This girl was too strange. Besides, Brother ck Dragon had told them to kill her. The tattooed man would not lose a watermelon for a sesame seed. On the other side, the underlings who had smashed the ss together with them were chasing after Wang Li and Lin ya. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Upon hearing the tattooed man¡¯s voice from behind her, Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed, but she did not stop in her tracks. She wasn¡¯t stupid. She would be a fool if she really stopped! These few people clearly did not have any good intentions, so Joes naturally would not put herself in danger. ¡°If you don¡¯t stop, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The tattooed man did not expect Joes to run so fast. After chasing for a distance, he could not help but pant. Joes had been training every day, usually at night, so her physical strength was much better than before. Now, it seemed that this was the right decision. ¡°Ah!¡± At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the distance. It was Lin ya! Shock shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. At a time like this, she naturally knew that Lin ya had most likely been captured. Then, a voice came from behind Lin ya,¡±¡±Let go of me and get lost! Do you believe that I will make you blind?¡± Then, one of theckeys screamed. The pepper spray that Lin ya had taken away was still useful. At least with the spray, they wouldn¡¯t be at a disadvantage. ¡°What do we do?¡± Joes¡¯s heart was burning with anxiety, so much so that her forehead was covered in sweat. She turned around to look at the tattooed man who was in hot pursuit. However, the distance between the two of them was slowly increasing. The tattooed man was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Very soon, he would not be able to catch up to Jossi. However, at that moment, Joes immediately changed her direction and ran toward the direction where Lin ya¡¯s scream came from. She really couldn¡¯t let Lin ya get caught like this. What Joes did not expect was that Wang Li, who was in the other direction, also rushed in Lin ya¡¯s direction after hearing the scream. In just a short while, they arrived at Lin ya¡¯s location. Lin ya was surrounded by two or three tattooed men. Her hair was a little messy, and she had almost been caught. ¡°Get lost!¡± Lin ya roared and was about to spray her pepper spray. The tattooed men saw this and quickly stepped back, not daring to get too close to her. Chapter 470 - Something’s not right

Chapter 470: Something¡¯s not right

This pepper spray was chili water. If it was sprayed into the eyes, it would be so painful that one would lose the ability to move. Didn¡¯t you see the tattooed man who was covering his eyes and screaming in the distance? It was also fortunate that after the kidnapping incident, Joes would always have some self-defense items by her side. Otherwise, Lin ya would most likely be in a passive position. ¡°Little ya, we¡¯re here to help you!¡± Joesse¡¯s clear voice caught Lin ya¡¯s attention. She looked over in surprise. When she saw that Jossi and Wang Li were there, she was extremely touched. She almost couldn¡¯t control her tears, but in the end, she forced them back. ¡°Sisi, Lili ...¡± Lin ya¡¯s voice sounded like she was crying. Just as she let her guard down, a man in front of her suddenly took a step forward and tried to take it away from her. Joes ¡®eyes widened as she quickly reminded,¡±¡±Little ya, be careful!¡± Seeing that Lin ya had no way to Dodge, joesse gritted her teeth and looked at the steel pipe on the ground. She picked it up and rushed over. She couldn¡¯t tolerate bullying her good friend. ...... ¡°BOOM!¡± The steel pipe struck the man¡¯s leg, causing him to wail in pain. He gave up on snatching the pepper spray from Lin ya¡¯s hands. Just as joesse was about to let Lin ya and Wang Li run, she did not notice a ck figure appearing behind her. Brother ck Dragon! His face was gloomy. Because he was too fast, Wang Li and Lin ya didn¡¯t have time to react. After he came behind Joes, he immediately covered her face with the towel that was filled with the knockout powder. ¡°Wu...Wuwu ...¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened. Her nose was suddenly covered and her feet were suspended in the air, making her unable to struggle. She had miscalcted. There was someone behind this! A suffocating feeling enveloped joesse as she kicked her legs and struggled. However, the effects of the knockout drug were very strong. Within a short period of time, Joes had fallen unconscious. At the same time, Lin ya and Wang Li, who had wanted to save Joes, were also captured by the underlings. After running for so long, this result still couldn¡¯t be changed. Brother ck Dragon nced at the unconscious Jossi in his arms and threw her into the car. Lin ya and Wang Li were locked up in another car. The reason was simple. This time, Brother ck Dragon¡¯s main target was Jossi, not Lin ya and the other girl. Therefore, taking her away was the most important thing. The other two were just a bonus. ¡°As expected, big brother¡¯s moves are more powerful. The moment he makes a move, he immediately takes care of these disobedient little girls.¡± The tattooed man showed a fawning smile. Brother ck Dragon was very satisfied with his ttery. He said,¡±¡±You guys did well too. I¡¯ll give you a bonus after the reward is paid. ¡± ¡°Really, big brother?¡± The other underlings in the car were boiling with excitement. This was a real benefit, and no one would be able to refuse it. . Brother ck Dragon nodded and agreed,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go to the abandoned factory in the suburbs and deal with this girl. As for the other two, you can do whatever you want with them. In any case, we¡¯re about to leave this city. ¡± ¡°Thank you, big brother!¡± The underlings said excitedly. After the matter was settled, Brother ck Dragon and the others drove away. All that was left at the scene was a cracked Audi, which was also joesse¡¯s car, and a steel pipe stained with blood. The two cars were heading toward the abandoned factory. After Lin ya and Wang Li got into the car, they also fainted from inhaling the drug. After the two cars left, a group of people finally came out from the dark. ¡°Boss, what do we do now?¡± One of the underlings looked at the car that was leaving in the distance and felt a little embarrassed. The leader was wearing a suit and looked like a refined scum. He nced at his underling and said,¡±¡±What else can we do? Since someone else has gotten there before us, then let¡¯s go. ¡± ¡°Boss ... Are we just, just leaving?¡± The underling couldn¡¯t believe it. This was a big deal. If he gave up, he probably wouldn¡¯t get the money. The man in the suit red at him, including the underling behind him. His voice was a little cold.¡±In the future, when you follow me, you must be smarter. With so many people chasing after this woman, she must have many enemies. Someone else was one step ahead of her, so she could have been snatched. ¡± At this point, he paused and continued,¡±¡±But there¡¯s one thing that¡¯s important. What if there¡¯s someone else besides us?¡± After listening to the man in a suit, the underlings fell into deep thought and felt that what he said did make some sense. If there was really someone else besides them, then wouldn¡¯t it be like the Mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind? Just thinking about it made these underlings want to beat up those bastards. ¡°Besides, we¡¯re not short of money. We¡¯re just making some extra money this time. Since something like this has happened, let¡¯s forget it. Let¡¯s go.¡± After saying that, the man in a suit, who looked calm but was actually pretending to be smart, chose to leave the ce. His underlings looked at each other and quickly followed. But what this group of people didn¡¯t know was that they had made the right decision not to interfere. Because if they were to interfere, no matter what they did, the consequences would be very tragic. Ma Li was the one who had found this group of people. They had been in the gray area of city h all year round and were much more famous than brother Hei Long who had been found in Jianghai. He also knew how to give and take and dared to give up on many orders with great benefits. Otherwise, it would be a problem whether he could live safely until now. In the eyes of the man in the suit, the group of people who had dealt with Jossi had alsopleted the idea of their client. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, at the blue sky Apartment. Zheng Zeyi came back earlier today, and there were fewer things to deal with in thepany. Most of it fell on assistant Li¡¯s head, but Zheng Zeyi only hoped to spend more time with joesse. He took a look at his phone and saw that thest message on the text page was still sent by him. Within this half an hour, Joes did not reply. Was that even possible? It was possible. Zheng Zeyi looked calm, but the corner of his mouth was twitching. If his fianc¨¦e was really busy with thepany, she probably wouldn¡¯t have time to reply even if she saw the message. After all, this was not the first time something like this had happened. However ... There was still something wrong. Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips slightly and picked up his phone to look at thest message that joesse had sent. Chapter 471

Chapter 471: The abandoned factory

¡°I¡¯m going home now. I should be there in about ten minutes. ¡± Looking at this text message, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyelids suddenly twitched for some reason, as if he had a bad feeling. He remembered ... That joesse should have driven out. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi walked toward the window with a serious look on his face. ording to joesse¡¯s habit, she would always be on time once she gave the exact time. However, it was different this time. Hence, Zheng ze felt that something must have happened. He walked to the window and looked down. Indeed, Qiao sisi¡¯s car was not in the parking lot. Something might have happened ... Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression changed. Without hesitation, he called joesse. ¡°Tutu.¡± A dial tone sounded from the phone, but as soon as the call went through, it showed that the other party¡¯s phone was turned off. At this point, how could Zheng Zeyi not understand that joesse must have met with danger? Otherwise, there was no way to exin all these abnormalities. ¡°Damn it!¡± ...... Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was filled with anger. He immediately turned around and left the apartment. At the same time, he gave assistant li a call. The call was picked up quickly. Assistant li asked with some doubt,¡±¡±President, do you have any orders?¡± It was obvious that something must have happened for her to call sote at night. ¡°Go and find the CEO¡¯s wife¡¯s car. Send some men to see where she is!¡± Zheng ze said directly. The president¡¯s wife had disappeared! From Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, assistant li caught the main point. He did not dare to dy and quickly nodded.¡±¡±Yes, President. I¡¯ll handle it now.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone hurriedly. He was as worried as he was when joesse was in danger. At the same time, there was a sense of ruthlessness in his heart. It seemed that he had been too lenient on those people. Otherwise, they would have to pay the price forying their hands on Joes! Once Zheng ze got into the car, he drove towards the hotpot restaurant. He wanted to take a look. At the same time, he didn¡¯t stay idle. He picked up his phone and dialed Chen Anna¡¯s number. Chen Anna¡¯s phone call was given to him by joesse. At that time, Zheng Zeyi did not pay much attention to it, but now, he was d. Chen Anna was a good friend of Qiao si ¡®s, so she should have some understanding of what happened to her today. ¡°Zheng Zeyi?¡± Chen Anna sounded surprised on the other end of the phone, as if she didn¡¯t expect him to call. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was rather gloomy. When he saw that the call was connected, he said directly,¡±¡±Anna Chen, I need your help with something. Do you know where sisi went?¡± ¡°Sisi?¡± Chen Anna was a little dumbfounded by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. It took her a long time to react and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t sisi go home?¡± ¡°She didn¡¯te back!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was sharp, but he softened his tone.¡±¡±She told me that she would be home in ten minutes, but she¡¯s still not back at the apartment. I suspect that something might have happened to sisi. Someone might have already been watching her behind her back. ¡± After everything was revealed, Chen Anna took a while to ept the huge amount of information. . Her expression changed instantly. She understood that Zheng Zeyi had suddenly looked for her because he wanted to know more about Joes ¡®situation. Thinking of this, Anna Chen hurriedly said,¡±¡±Today, sisi, Lin ya, and Wang Li were with me. The four of us were at the century-old hot pot restaurant near the Royal Restaurant. After eating hotpot, my boyfriend came to pick me up. It was sisi who was going to send Lin ya and Wang Li home. ¡± After saying that, Chen Anna was a little nervous, and her hand holding the phone couldn¡¯t help but tighten,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, is sisi really in trouble?¡± ¡°If there are no idents.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was dark. He had already arrived at the hotpot restaurant, but he could not find joesse¡¯s car even after searching the nearby cars. As expected, he wasn¡¯t here, so he must have been targeted after leaving. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you go and look for them first. I¡¯ll go out now. Nothing must happen to sisi and the rest!¡± Chen Anna was shocked. After hanging up the phone, she ran to ye chen and told him about it. Ye chen also knew the seriousness of this matter and immediately went out with Chen Anna to search. Their goal was to start from the vicinity of the hot pot restaurant. It would be too inefficient. Zheng Zeyi was really anxious. He immediately contacted his hacker friend whom he had known for a long time and hacked into the surveince cameras at the nearby intersections. As long as he left from here, he would be able to find some clues from the surveince cameras! ¡­¡­¡­ At the abandoned factory. While Zheng Zeyi was trying his best to find Joes, she and the rest had already been kidnapped and brought to an abandoned factory. He was even tied up and thrown to the ground. ¡°Ssh it with water!¡± Brother ck Dragon ordered. The underlings moved quickly. After filling a few metal buckets with water from the river outside, they sshed it on joesse and the other two. The bone-piercing cold river water drenched their clothes, making the group of hooligans ¡®eyes even more heated. The first to wake up was joesse. She felt as if she was soaked in the cold river water. She was so cold that she shivered, and her hair was still dripping with water. Joes opened her eyes with great difficulty and finally regained her senses. Looking at the pitch-ck ce in front of her and the evil smiles on Brother ck Dragon¡¯s face, she felt a little strange. ¡°Where is this ce?¡± Joesse pursed her lips tightly as this doubt appeared in her heart. She didn¡¯t make a scene or talk to Brother ck Dragon and the others. Instead, she scanned her surroundings. Although it was very dark, the moon today was very big and round. With the moonlight, he could still see some things clearly. There were many huge instruments in sight, but they were all covered in dust and could no longer be used. The entire ce looked lifeless, and it was obvious that it had been abandoned for a long time. An abandoned factory! With just a nce, Jossi had an answer in her mind. This was the abandoned factory in the suburbs. She had seen this ce on the news before. The factory couldn¡¯t continue to operate because of the problems with the products it had sold. However, after seeing the news, Joes had never thought that she would be kidnapped and brought to this factory. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a more probing look in them. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re finally awake?¡± A teasing voice rang out. It was the tattooed man who had been chasing her all this time. Now that the gap between the two sides was wide, the tattooed man was very proud of himself. Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Everyone, hurry up

Joes looked at him coldly. For some reason, it was a very ordinary look, but it could make people feel a chill. The tattooed man was shocked, but after the shock, he couldn¡¯t help but clench his teeth. Damn it, he was actually frightened by a little girl¡¯s gaze. How embarrassing would it be if word got out! The tattooed man wasn¡¯t willing to give up. Just as he was about to say something, Heilong stopped him and told him not to speak for the time being. Seeing this, the tattooed man could only shut his mouth. Since Brother ck Dragon had already said so, he didn¡¯t dare to say anything. The few of them stared at each other, and Joes finally could not take it anymore. She furrowed her brows tightly and said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±Who are you? why did you capture me?¡± The two simple questions were the most crucial. At this point, Joes naturally understood that Brother ck Dragon and the others probably had the intention to kill her. However, Joes was unwilling to ept the fact that she did not know the person behind this. Hearing her words, the tattooed man snorted in disdain and said,¡±¡±Little girl, you don¡¯t need to know our origins.¡± ¡°No,¡± she said. ck Dragon bro¡¯s lips curved into a smile as he interrupted the tattooed man,¡±¡±Tell her not to say that she¡¯s my employer. She¡¯s going to die anyway. After all, she¡¯s such a beautiful girl, it¡¯s not good to die with her eyes open. ¡± ...... The tattooed man was taken aback, but when he came back to his senses, he quickly nodded and echoed,¡±¡±You¡¯re right, big brother,¡± After receiving the order, the tattooed man walked up to Jossi and looked into her stubborn eyes. He then said condescendingly,¡±¡±Little girl, this time ... We¡¯re here to take your life!¡± As expected! From the moment they smashed the ss and pursued her relentlessly, Jossi knew that it would be very difficult to escape this time. But why were Lin ya and Wang Li among the targets? As if he had seen through Jossi¡¯s confusion, Brother ck Dragon took a few steps forward and smiled,¡±¡±These two friends of yours should be considered to have been dragged into this by you. Our original target ...... Was only you. Who knew that you would bring along two friends. ¡± ¡°Hahahaha.¡± The crowd burst intoughter. The underlingsughed happily, as if they were mocking Joes. Theughter reverberated in the abandoned factory, and the echoes gave off a terrifying and sinister feeling. However, Joes could not care about that now. She was more concerned about what Brother ck Dragon had said. After hearing this, Qiao sisi¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly. This meant that she was the one who had implicated Lin ya and Wang Li. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they went to eat hotpot together and joesse had to send them home, Lin ya and Su Ya wouldn¡¯t have been involved in this. At this moment, Joes was extremely regretful, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. Things had already developed to this point, and it was useless no matter how things were like before. ¡°Who¡¯s the one behind you?¡± Joes shouted angrily. Seeing her angry face, Brother ck Dragon raised his eyebrows but didn¡¯t say the name of the person behind her. ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about this. You just need to know that the three of you are going to die soon!¡± With that, Brother ck Dragon did not dy any longer. He turned around and left with his underlings. The tattooed man red at Jossi before following behind them. . ¡°What are they doing?¡± Looking at their backs, Joes¡¯s brows furrowed even more. Since Brother ck Dragon and the others had said that Joes and the others were going to die, he would be leaving to kill them. Set fire! Very quickly, Joes thought it through. She quickly widened her eyes and looked into the distance. Indeed, not too far away, she saw a few people working hard to carry oil barrels and pour them at the door. Not only that, the few of them were afraid that they wouldn¡¯t be able to spill it, so they poured a few more buckets into it. ¡°This is bad!¡± Joes gritted her teeth, feeling a little nervous. However, her entire body was tied up and she could not move. ¡°Xiaoya, Lili, wake up!¡± Seeing that the group of people were about to start a fire, Joes crawled with great effort while trying her best to call out to the unconscious Lin ya and Wang Li. The two of them had inhaled more of the drug than joesse, so they were in a deeper state of unconsciousness. Even though she had been sshed with water, it took her a long time to wake up. Wang Li was the first to open her eyes. She scanned her surroundings. When she saw the abandoned factory, her face immediately sank. Looking at herself, Lin ya, and Joes, who were all tied up, Wang Li gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Sisi, what are they doing?¡± Before Joes could reply, the unconscious Lin ya finally woke up and slowly opened her eyes. Almost as soon as she woke up, she tried to sit up, but because her whole body was tied up, she couldn¡¯t sit up smoothly. He even fell to the ground again with a muffled sound because he used too much force. ¡°Sisi, where is this ce?¡± Lin ya cried out in pain. She didn¡¯t have time to care about the wounds on her body and asked anxiously. After the initial nervousness, joesse calmed down. She pursed her red lips and said,¡±¡±We¡¯re in an abandoned factory right now, and that group of people wants to kill us. Now they have all left and are pouring oil on the abandoned factory, ready to set fire to burn us to death!¡± Towards the end, joesse was gritting her teeth, wishing she could find the person behind this. There shouldn¡¯t be many people with such deep hatred, so she had to think about it carefully. It would be fine if she fell for it this time, but if there was still any hope of escaping, she would never let that person go! Joes was furious, but she didn¡¯t know that her words had a huge impact on Lin ya and Wang Li. ¡°Set fire?!¡± Lin ya¡¯s voice was a little shrill. Her eyes widened and she quickly turned around to see a figure sshing oil not far away. He was really prepared to burn them to death. It was too cruel! Lin ya bit her lower lip. Her face was pale and her voice was teary as she said,¡±¡±Sisi, what should we do then? are we going to be burned to death?¡± ¡°I guess so. Do you have anyst words?¡± Simrly, Wang Li seemed to have given up on struggling and looked at Joes. Joes nced at the two of them and furrowed her brows. Her expression was rather ugly as she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t give up yet. Think of a way. If we can still escape, how can we just give up?¡± After saying that, her gaze fell on the rope that was tied around her. ¡°Let¡¯s try to untie the ropes binding us. Hurry up before they set fire to the ce!¡± By the time those people really started a fire, it would be toote to escape even if they wanted to. Chapter 473

Chapter 473: What I¡¯m most worried about

Seeing that Qiao sisi did not want to give up so easily, Lin ya and Wang Li looked at each other and nodded,¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s give it a try!¡± After saying that, Joes took the lead and started to lean against a broken tile, using it to grind the rope. Lin ya and Wang Li followed suit, but the rope used by Brother ck Dragon was too strong. Plus, the rope was thick, so it wasn¡¯t easy to wear it off. Joes was so tired that her head was covered in sweat, but only a little bit of it was worn off. ¡°Zi Zi!¡± At that moment, a series of screeching sounds suddenly came from the entrance of the abandoned factory! Joes suddenly stopped in her tracks and hurriedly raised her head to look at the door. The abandoned factory was an abandoned ce and there was no electricity. Not to mention the lights. The night was dark, and although it was not so dark that one could not see their own fingers, they could only barely see with the help of the moonlight. However, it was different now. A me lit up the entire abandoned factory. This ce was rtively remote, and almost no one would pass by usually. Therefore, no matter what kind ofmotion it caused, it was very difficult to be discovered. With the light from the fire, Joes and the rest could clearly see the other party. His clothes were wet, and even his hair was dripping with water. ¡°They set the fire!¡± Joes gritted her teeth and her face turned red with anger. If not for the fact that she was tied up and unable to move, she would have used a steel pipe to beat someone up. ...... This group of bastards! Wang Li also took a deep breath and said angrily,¡±¡±Damn this group of people, we have to hurry!¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± Lin ya¡¯s face was anxious, and her hand was grinding the tile against the rope faster and faster, so were the other two. At this moment, the desire to live prevailed. Outside the abandoned factory, after setting the fire, ck Dragon nodded in satisfaction. He took a picture and sent it to Jiang hai, along with a voice message. The general meaning was that he hadpleted the task given to him, and Joes, this troublesome woman, had been eliminated. ording to their previous agreement, Jianghai should have given them 10 million! ¡°Hahaha, we¡¯ve earned quite a lot this time. Let¡¯s go, they¡¯re dead!¡± Brother ck Dragon couldn¡¯t help but smile. He seemed to be in a good mood. ¡°As expected of our boss,¡± the tattooed manplimented.¡±He¡¯s really meticulous. By destroying the evidence and leaving this ce, no one will be able to catch us!¡± Brother ck Dragon and the others were very cautious about the surveince cameras on the road earlier. They had already sent someone to destroy them. But what he didn¡¯t expect was that before the surveince was destroyed, the video had already been copied, and someone wasing over. Unfortunately, Brother ck Dragon had no idea about this. At this moment, he was very proud and immersed in the mood of getting ten million Yuan. He left the ce in the car with his underlings. Only the abandoned factory was left behind. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and thick smoke was billowing! Joes and the others, who were in the center, took a few deep breaths and coughed hard.¡±Cough cough!¡± The entire abandoned factory was surrounded by mes. Everywhere he could see was burning. Many of the hanging instruments suddenly fell to the ground with a ¡°bang!¡± After their ropes were cut off by the fire. There was a loud bang. Instantly, dust flew everywhere, and such a terrifying scene was everywhere. Joes and the rest were sweating from the heat, but they did not dare to rx. If they did, they would not be able to escape within the stipted time. . Then, they would be greeted with a charred corpse! ¡°...I¡¯ve seeded!¡± The first one to break free was Joes. After she used a tile to cut off the rope around her hand, she hurriedly broke free. After getting up, he quickly went to help Wang Li and Lin ya Cut the Rope. It didn¡¯t seem to take much time, but the fire had already spread nearby, and the smell of smoke filled his nose. ¡°Cough, cough. Let¡¯s ... Quickly find a ce to run out of here!¡± Jossi waved the thick smoke in front of her. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Wang Li quickly said. After she finished speaking, she led the two of them to search for a rtively safe ce that was not surrounded by the fire. There were two veryrge instruments, and there was a path between the instruments that had not been affected by the fire yet. It seemed like ... He could leave from there! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After surveying the terrain, joesse and Lin ya ran towards the road. Behind them, the fire was raging! If they had been a step slower, they might have been burned as well. It could be seen how dangerous the situation was. The three of them came to the road, and just as they were about to run out, a huge wooden board came crashing down on them. Looking at the way the wooden board fell, Joes¡¯s heart was in her throat, and she was so scared that she could not say a word. She pursed her lips tightly. Although she didn¡¯t say anything, her hands didn¡¯t slow down. She pounced on Lin ya and Wang Li. The two of them fell to the ground, but they put some distance between them and the wooden board that had been smashed down. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Lin ya screamed. As soon as she looked up, she saw the wooden board fall to the ground. In an instant, her face turned pale. Lin ya was no fool. She knew very well that if Joes had not noticed that something was wrong at the first moment and pounced on them, they would have been hit by the wooden boards! Moreover, the raging mes on the wooden boards had devoured the road that had not been covered by the fire in a short time. ¡°Sisi, thank you.¡± Lin ya wanted to cry, so she thanked him. Thest path was also sealed, so they were probably unable to escape. ¡°Don¡¯t ... Ahem ... Be so polite with me. ¡± Joes said intermittently, her hand clenched into a fist and pressed against her red lips. Seeing this scene, Wang Li also fell silent. After a long time, she said,¡±¡±Sisi, Xiao Ya, I¡¯ve never regretted meeting you. Cough cough ...¡± Thick smoke rose, and the ce where they were was also affected, even speaking was a little difficult. The moment he opened his mouth, he would inhalerge amounts of thick smoke and was forced to cough. Joes¡¯s face was covered in dust, but she could not care about that at this moment. Seeing Lin ya and Wang Li¡¯s despairing faces, she scanned her surroundings. They were indeed surrounded by mes. In this situation, even if they ran out, they would probably be a man on Fire. At the thought of this, Joes could not help butugh bitterly. She had not expected that she would end up in such a state. He did not know what would happen to Xing Yuan design and Zheng Zeyi after he died. Many thoughts shed through her mind, but Qiao si realized that the person she was most worried about was still Zheng Zeyi. They had just gotten together, but now they might have to face death. Chapter 474

Chapter 474: The ward next door

After a while, Qiao si weaklyy on the ground, but Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face appeared in her mind. He also said that he wanted to get engaged to her. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance to go out, I want to get engaged to you as soon as possible.¡± Joes ¡®lips curled into a smile. She had never thought that she would like this man so much. At the start, she clearly hated him for being an unreasonable and overbearing President. However, after dating, no matter how one looked at it, there seemed to be more shining points. Jossi turned her head to the side and realized that Wang Li and Lin ya were also thinking about something. She tried her best to say thest sentence,¡±¡±Should we ... Leave a clue or something?¡± Clues? This sentence attracted Lin ya and Wang Li¡¯s attention, and the two of them smiled bitterly. They were in the middle of a fire. Even if they wanted to leave a clue, it would be all gone after the fire. What could others discover? Looking at their smiles, Joes also recalled this matter and eliminated the thought of leaving any clues. With Zheng Zeyi¡¯s intelligence, even if he did not need any clues, he should be able to find the person behind this based on the clues. ...... Brother ck Dragon and the others couldn¡¯t get away with it. ¡°Am I going to die ...¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were listless as she looked at the top of the abandoned factory. However, she could not see anything but a sea of fire. Her consciousness was already somewhat unclear, as if she was being roasted by mes. On the other side, Lin ya and Wang Li¡¯s situation wasn¡¯t any better. They inhaled arge amount of smoke and didn¡¯t even have the strength to struggle. Soon, they fell into aa. Joes could not hold on any longer and slowly closed her eyes. However, before she fainted, she seemed to have heard some noise outside the abandoned factory. ¡°Hurry up! Hurry up and save him!¡± What followed was the piercing sound of a fire engine. It seemed like the fire outside had already been reduced. However, Joes¡¯s consciousness was not clear, and she could not even focus her attention to listen. She only felt that before she died, she seemed to have seen a man in a protective suit rushing in without fear of the fire. Through the mask, Qiao si seemed to have seen Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face. Did hee? Joes did not know the answer. She fell into an endless darkness and lost all consciousness. ¡­¡­¡­ Two days had passed by the time Joes woke up again. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and the first thing she saw was the White ceiling of the hospital. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was blinded by the ring sunlight in the room. She couldn¡¯t help but cover her eyes with her sore and weak hands. Very quickly, her actions attracted the attention of the people around her. Zheng Zeyi was originally resting by the side, but he was instantly jolted awake when he realized that joesse had moved. His face was filled with shock, and he quickly held Joes¡¯s hand. His voice was filled with surprise,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re awake!¡± ¡°Zeyi?¡± Qiao SI¡¯s voice was very weak. She looked at Zheng Zeyi, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. Not only did he have dark circles under his eyes, but he could also see his stubble. This made Qiao SI¡¯s heart ache even more. She raised her other hand and drew Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face in the air. ¡°How long have you been here watching over me?¡± she asked in a pained voice.¡±Did you not sleep well?¡± After Jossi woke up, she felt exhausted. However, she had to admit that it felt good to be able to see the sun again. Even better, the moment she opened her eyes, the most important person to her was taking care of her. In the sea of fire, joesse thought that she was beyond saving and that her life was over. However, she was still saved in the end. If she was not mistaken, the figure that she sawing to save her before she fainted should be Zheng Zeyi. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s gaze was filled with worry. She quickly scanned him from head to toe and only rxed after confirming that he was not injured. Zheng Zeyi looked anxious.¡±You¡¯ve been unconscious for two days and two nights. You¡¯ve only just woken up. I¡¯m fine.¡± After saying that, he pressed the bell. The nurses and doctors would probably rush over as soon as they heard the news. ¡°Sisi, how are you? do you feel ufortable?¡± Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s concerned face, joesse could not help but chuckle. A smile appeared on her pale face, but it added to her sickly beauty. She shook her head slightly and said,¡±I¡¯m fine.¡± At this point, she paused for a moment, as if she had recalled something. Joes then asked,¡±¡±By the way, Zeyi, Xiaoya and Lili were with me. Are they ... Alright?¡± Lin ya and Wang Li had passed out earlier than joesse, so their situation might be more dangerous. That was why Joes was a little worried. Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly and reached out to tidy up Qiao si SI¡¯s hair. He said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, they¡¯re both fine. She¡¯s still resting in the next Ward, and both of them woke up earlier than you. ¡± After hearing that the two of them were fine, joesse heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them didn¡¯t talk for long before the doctor and nurse heard the bell and rushed back into the ward. ¡°Mr. Zheng, we¡¯re going to give the patient a physical examination now.¡± The doctor in the white coat said. Zheng Zeyi naturally understood. After he nodded, he said to joesse,¡±¡±You can check it first. I¡¯ll go buy you a light breakfast.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joesughed. Speaking of breakfast, she was indeed a little hungry. She had not eaten for two days and two nights. There was nothing in his stomach, so he naturally couldn¡¯t lift his strength. After watching Zheng Zeyi leave the ward, joessey quietly on the bed for the doctor¡¯s examination, which ended very quickly. Looking at the data on the instrument, the doctor heaved a sigh of relief. Even his sses were stained with sweat. He smiled and said,¡±congrattions, miss Qiao. It¡¯s no longer a big problem.¡± However, because we saved her in time, miss Qiao didn¡¯t suffer any injuries. From now on, pay more attention to her diet. We will check on her every day. ¡± Joes agreed and smiled.¡±¡±Okay, sorry to trouble you, doctor.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, miss Qiao. ¡± After the doctor gave the nurse some instructions, he left the ward with a document and left the rest of the work to the nurse. The nurse took out a bottle of saline from the cart and reced the empty bottle in joesse¡¯s hand. Her actions were very gentle. Looking at this scene, Joris¡¯s smile became even sweeter. She smiled and asked,¡±¡±Miss nurse, can I go to the next Ward to take a look?¡± ¡°The ward next door?¡± The nurse was a little confused. At the same time, she quickly finished her work and put away the empty bottle. Chapter 475

Chapter 475: More than one person¡¯s life

Worried that she did not understand, Joes exined,¡±¡±It¡¯s like this. Two of my friends are in the next Ward. They almost died in the fire with me. I heard that they¡¯ve woken up, so I want to go and have a look. ¡± After hearing this, the nurse understood and smiled.¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to go. I think ... They¡¯ll be here soon.¡± What did that mean? For a moment, Joes could not react in time as she watched the nurse push the cart out of the ward. She was the only one left in the ward, so it was rather quiet. However, what Qiao sisi did not know was that the news of her waking up soon spread, and not only to Lin ya and Wang Li, who were in the ward next door. Even Chen Anna, who hade to visit him, hurried over. ¡°Bang!¡± The loud sound of the door opening was heard. Joes was resting on the bed when she suddenly heard such a loud noise. She was so shocked that she could not help but tremble. Just as she was about to speak, she raised her head and saw three heads at the door. If it wasn¡¯t Chen Anna and the other two, who could it be? ...... Joes was stunned for a moment before she smiled brightly.¡±¡±Anna, why are you here? Xiao Ya, didn¡¯t you guys just wake up? Why did you get out of bed and walk around so quickly?¡± The three people outside the door quickly came in and closed the door of the ward, blocking the view from the outside. ¡°Shh, we sneaked out.¡± Lin ya was a little excited as she sat on the chair beside joesse¡¯s bed. Wang Li and Chen Anna stood by the side. Seeing that nothing had happened to Joes, the heavy stone in their hearts was finally lifted. ¡°Sisi, you don¡¯t know how worried I was about you guys.¡± Chen Anna recalled what had happened that day and still felt a lingering fear. That day, she and ye chen had risked their lives to search for it. She had searched almost the entire city h, but she could not find any trace of Qiao si si and the rest. It was onlyter on that Zheng ze told her that Qiao si si and Lin ya had been captured and taken to an abandoned factory. Furthermore, the abandoned factory had already turned into a sea of fire. Fortunately, Joes and the other two had been rescued. Otherwise, Chen Anna really didn¡¯t know how she could ept such an oue. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll be alive and kicking again in a few days.¡± Joesughed nonchntly. Lin ya still felt like she had just survived a disaster. She leaned on the table and said in disbelief,¡±¡±Sisi, to be honest, I can¡¯t believe I came down. When we were in the fire, we thought we were dead for sure. When we woke up, we were already in the hospital. ¡± ¡°Me too. I was in too much despair.¡± Wang Li, who was usually calm, also revealed her true emotions at this moment. It was impossible to say that he wasn¡¯t afraid when he encountered such a situation. He was only a thin line away from death. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi found the abandoned factory in the end. After a moment of silence, Joes suddenly asked,¡±¡±By the way, do you know where the group of people who captured us went?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Lin ya shook her head in confusion. Wang Li didn¡¯t know about this either. She frowned and was also a little confused. Although the two of them had woken up first, they had only been awake for a few hours and had just eaten. In fact, their bodies were still very weak and they needed to recuperate. It was only because he was worried about Joes that he came to visit her. Chen Anna, on the other hand, had some understanding of this matter. Seeing the three people¡¯s gazes fall on her, she felt a little helpless. She shrugged and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know much about this matter either. The details were handed over to sisi¡¯s boyfriend, Zheng Zeyi, to handle. I heard that the group of people were all caught. ¡± ¡°They¡¯ve all been caught?¡± Joes asked in surprise. She didn¡¯t expect this to happen. In just two days, they had caught the group of people who had run away in advance. After all, after setting the fire, Brother ck Dragon and the others chose to run away. It shouldn¡¯t be easy to catch them. However, since Anna Chen had said so, it meant that Zheng Zeyi had used his own power to capture this group of people. That kind of person was not worthy! Recalling what had happened that night, joesse could not help but feel angry. She pursued him relentlessly, as if she had some deep hatred for him. Wait a minute! Deep hatred? Joesse¡¯s eyes widened, a thought suddenly forming in her mind. These people from Brother ck Dragon should be hiding in the gray area of city H. They naturally did not have any enmity with Joes, but that did not mean that the person who hired them had no enmity with Joes. ¡°Who would it be ...¡± Joes¡¯s brows furrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought. Many candidates shed through her mind, but they were all eliminated in the end. Very quickly, she decided on a candidate. Jianghai! It could be said that there was a deep hatred between him and Joes. After all, she wanted to get the money from him. Of course, she didn¡¯t n to keep the money for herself. She was going to donate it. Since Jianghai city had done so many evil things, it would be a good thing to get some money for charity. However, he might not think so. For the money, he might kill her to prevent future trouble! The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became. Jiang hai was too scary. He could not be allowed to stay. The evidence had to be exposed as soon as possible! Very quickly, Joes made her decision. She had thought about so many things in her heart, but in reality, it had only taken her a little more than ten seconds. It didn¡¯t attract the attention of Lin ya and the others in such a short time. Lin ya was quite happy to hear Chen Anna say that the group of people had been caught. She smiled and said,¡±¡±That group of people really deserved it! Who asked them to be so bad! Sitting in the car, he didn¡¯t even mind smashing the car window to get us out. He¡¯s too vicious!¡± Fortunately, they weren¡¯t present, or Lin ya would have given them a good scolding. Wang Li nodded her head in agreement. It was obvious that she harbored some hatred towards that group of people. This was a life-and-death feud. ¡°I hope ... They won¡¯t have a good ending.¡± Joes chuckled and said with certainty,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, as long as that group of people is caught, they will definitely not have a good end. ¡± Her tone was very certain. Seeing how certain she was, Lin ya and Wang Li were a little confused at first, but they soon figured out the reason. Brother ck Dragon and the others had been in the gray area all year round and had done many dirty things behind their backs. Now that he had been caught, those things would definitely be revealed, and it was absolutely impossible to hide them. Other than that, based on how Brother ck Dragon and the rest wanted to kill Jossi and the rest, their hands might have been stained with human lives, and not just one. Under such circumstances, how could he not go to jail for a while? The facts proved that Joes¡¯s guess was very urate and almost all of them were correct. Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Chapter 477-bear the consequences

Before taking on the job to get rid of Jossi, Brother ck Dragon and the rest had already killed a few people in city h and offended a powerful force. Otherwise, he would not have decided to run away from the start. After earning the ten million from Joes, he would escape to another city with the ten million and live in peace for a while before returning to his old profession. This was what Brother ck Dragon and the others thought. It was a good idea, but they had offended someone they shouldn¡¯t have. ¡°I get angry just talking about them. They¡¯re really ruining my good mood.¡± Lin ya said in a bad mood. ¡°You guys haven¡¯t had breakfast yet, have you?¡± Anna Chen smiled helplessly.¡±How about I go buy breakfast for you now?¡± ¡°No need,¡± The one who said this was Jossi, who shook her head slightly.¡±¡±Anna, you can bring some for Xiao Ya and Lili. I don¡¯t need it. Zeyi just went to bring me breakfast. He should be back soon. ¡± ¡°Oh ...¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened, and her eyes glowed with the light of gossip. She smirked.¡±Sisi, I have to say that your boyfriend really dotes on you. I heard from the nurses that she didn¡¯t leave your room for two days and two nights. She just had a simple meal. You didn¡¯t see how concerned he was about you. Just thinking about it makes me feel like you¡¯ve really met a good man. ¡± ...... His rather emotional look caused the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth to Twitch. She was sure that Lin ya was just being mean and wanted to use this incident to tease her. After working so hard for so long, she could finally rx and let herself go. ¡°You speak as if you saw it.¡± Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes, her tone was not very nice. Lin ya choked, feeling a little guilty.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t see it, but ... But the nurses did.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Lin ya was renderedpletely speechless by Jossi¡¯s question. He was her boyfriend, so there was no need for her to feel embarrassed. Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Chen Anna blinked and said with a smile,¡±¡±Alright, you three have a good rest. I¡¯ll go buy you breakfast now. I won¡¯t buy the sisi one, I can save money haha. ¡± After she left the ward, she walked out of the hospital. Lin ya and Wang Li, on the other hand, did not leave Joes¡¯s ward immediately. Instead, they rested for a while. After Joes asked, she realized that Lin ya and Wang Li had wounds on their bodies because they were closer to the sea of fire. Lin ya was fine, but there were some burns on her arm. After the hospital¡¯s treatment, she had recovered a lot. However, a burn had appeared on Wang Li¡¯s back. If she wanted to sessfully treat it and remove the scar, it would still take some time. Fortunately, Wang Li was in a good mood and did not care about the scars. The two palm-sized wounds were treated with medicine, and he almost didn¡¯t feel any pain. He would only feel a burning pain when he applied the medicine again. Joes¡¯s heart ached a little. In the end, she was the luckiest person among all of them who did not get hurt. However, she would rather be the one to get hurt. The reason why ck Dragon had his eyes on them was because of Jossi. If it wasn¡¯t for her, Lin ya and Wang Li wouldn¡¯t have been involved in this. She would not be injured either. Feeling guilty, Joes said apologetically,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, you guys got hurt because of me. ¡± ¡°What are you saying, sisi!¡± Seeing that Jossi had taken all the me on herself, Lin ya couldn¡¯t take it anymore and interrupted her,¡±¡±How can you be med for this? It was the fault of the people behind the scenes. Besides, if we didn¡¯t insist on eating hotpot, we wouldn¡¯t have been targeted by Brother ck Dragon and the others. ¡± At this point, Lin ya seemed to realize that something was wrong, so she added,¡±¡±No, even if we don¡¯t go to the hot pot restaurant, they will still keep an eye on you, sisi. Wouldn¡¯t it be more dangerous for you to be alone? It¡¯s better for you toe with us. ¡± After hearing Lin ya¡¯s words, Wang Li agreed and nodded.¡±¡±Xiao Ya is right. You¡¯re not to be med for this. You don¡¯t have to feel so guilty.¡± Seeing that Joes was still in low spirits, Lin ya lifted her sleeve to reveal the bandages underneath. It only wrapped around him three times in total. She smiled and said,¡±look, it¡¯s a wound that doesn¡¯t even reach my palm. It doesn¡¯t hurt at all. Smile. Don¡¯t be so sad.¡± Lin ya was like a small sun that swept away all the gloominess. Wang Li also did not wish for Qiao si si to bear such a huge responsibility. The one who should feel guilty was the one who had done this. In the end, joesse¡¯s tears turned into a smile.¡±Alright, I understand. You guys don¡¯t have to persuade me anymore.¡± Since they had already said so, naturally, Joes would not be so insensible. Since it was a kind gesture from a friend, she would ept it. The three of them chatted for a while, and the ward was filled withughter. It wasn¡¯t until a few minutester, when they had no choice but to leave, that Lin ya pouted and said unhappily,¡±¡±I can¡¯t take it anymore. It¡¯s time for me to change my dressing, so I have to go back first. Otherwise, if the nurse caught us, we¡¯d probably be lectured again. It¡¯s too scary. ¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first. Sisi, have a good rest.¡± It was almost time for Lin ya and Wang Li to change their dressing, so they left the ward after saying goodbye. Looking at the back view of the two leaving, Joes could not help butugh. She nced at the phone on the table. It was rare that the phone was not damaged under such circumstances. Joesse picked up the phone and nced at it. It was probably Zheng Zeyi¡¯s doing, so the phone¡¯s battery was still full. ¡°Jianghai city ...¡± As she mumbled the name under her breath, Joes found Jiang Hai¡¯s name in her contact list. After looking at it for a long time, she did not call him. She probably wouldn¡¯t call this number again. Joes was almost certain that the person who hired Brother ck Dragon to kill her was Jianghai! In order not to spend the 40 million, Jianghai naturally had to find a way to shut Jossi up forever. The evidence would determine the future of Jianghai city. However, Jiang hai was still too naive. Joes had already made a backup of the evidence, so he was not worried that it would be destroyed. From the beginning to the end, she had never thought of using the evidence to exchange for benefits and let Jianghai city escape this disaster. He had to pay the price for what he did. Jossi snorted coldly and ced her phone aside. When the time came, she would release all the evidence. Jianghai city ... Just wait to bear the consequences. After resting for a while, Zheng Zeyi finally returned to the ward with a full breakfast. Looking at the two or threerge thermal containers, Joes swallowed the words she wanted to say. Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Not long

So many? Joes¡¯s eyes widened. Through the thermal lunch box, she could see the huge amount of breakfast. She wouldn¡¯t be able to finish all this food even if she was given a day. Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t seem to notice this. He considerately opened the thermal container and took out a bowl of congee with pork and century egg. The fragrance of the lean meat porridge filled the entire Ward. Joes¡¯s eyes lit up, and she could not help but smell the aroma of the food. She felt her stomach growling. ¡°I¡¯ll feed you. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was gentle. He held the bowl and took out a clean spoon from the thermal box. After scooping up a mouthful of congee, he blew on it carefully. After confirming that it was not hot anymore, he then sent it into joesse¡¯s mouth. As the fragrant porridge entered her throat, her stomach seemed to warm up. Joes closed her eyes infort. Little did she know that in Zheng ze¡¯s eyes, she was just like a docile and adorable kitten. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. ¡± Hearing Qiao si SI¡¯s voice, the corners of Zheng ze¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he said,¡±¡±If it¡¯s delicious, eat more and rest in the hospital for a few days. ...... I¡¯ll take you home after I¡¯ve confirmed that you¡¯re fine, okay?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded her head heavily. It didn¡¯t take long for him to finish the entire bowl of porridge. Joes ¡®stomach was a little full. She did not eat much for breakfast, and this bowl of porridge was already her limit. However, when she saw Zheng Zeyi reach out to open the second thermal container, her eyes were filled with shock. ¡°Zeyi, I¡¯m full. You should eat these yourself,¡± she quickly reached out to stop him. ¡°What?¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at her, his maic voice was like a feather. Joes¡¯s face turned red from the lightning and she slowly retracted her hand. Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi smiled and opened the thermal container. Inside were already sliced cantaloupes, cut into small square pieces. Zheng ze picked up a toothpick and stuck it in.¡±¡±I know you¡¯re full. Have two more pieces of fruit. You¡¯re not feeling well now, so you should eat more fruits. They¡¯re good for your body. ¡± Inexplicably, joesse followed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words and gave the cantaloupe to him, then ate another piece. After two pieces, she really couldn¡¯t eat anymore. Zheng Zeyi couldn¡¯t continue to force her. He put away the thermal containers and put them into the bag at the side. Joes gently patted her bloated stomach and asked,¡±¡±By the way, Zeyi, those people ... Is this how you dealt with them?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fingers paused. He calmly sat back in his chair and said with a smile,¡±¡±They¡¯ve been handed over to thew. They¡¯ve all been locked up in prison.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief. If Brother ck Dragon and the rest ended up in a bad state, Jossi would not be willing to ept it. In fact, what Joes did not know was that Brother ck Dragon and his gang were not even in prison. Instead, Zheng Zeyi had used another method to deal with it. Furthermore, it had been done very secretively, and almost no one knew about it. To the public, he also said that he would use thew to punish them. However, how could Zheng Zeyi allow these people who wanted to kill Qiao sisi, and even those who almost seeded, to continue living in prison? On the night that Qiao sisi was rescued, Zheng Zeyi changed into a hooded outfit and a mask before heading to thergest nightclub in city H. . That day. Zheng ze was wearing a ck shirt as he arrived at the entrance of the nightclub. Just as someone was about to stop him, they saw the logo on the shirt and the familiar clothes. The Guard¡¯s expression immediately changed. He said with great respect,¡±¡±Brother Bai, please!¡± Brother Bai could be considered Zheng Zeyi¡¯s nickname in the gray area. He did not spend all his time here, but he had his own strength. This force was very powerful, and it made many people jealous. But those who truly dared to make a move to deal with it were extremely few. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Zheng Zeyi replied indifferently. He entered the nightclub and went straight to the second floor, ignoring the bustling scene inside. Compared to the first floor, the second floor was much quieter, because it wasn¡¯t a ce that just anyone coulde. No one stopped Zheng ze when he came up. They were all too familiar with the logo on the clothes. Only brother Bai, who no one dared to provoke, would dare to use such a logo. Hence, Zheng Zeyi entered an office on the second floor without any obstructions and let his subordinates meet him. His mission was simple. That was to let Brother ck Dragon and his men die without a burial ce! Everything that happened after that was exactly the same as how it was now. The only difference was what Zheng Zeyi did behind the scenes. Joes waspletely unaware of all these things and had never thought about them. She was thinking of a way to expose the evidence in Jianghai so that his Jiang Corporation could no longer operate. The consequences of provoking a woman were very terrifying. With a myriad of thoughts in her mind, Qiao si pursed her lips. After resting for a while, she looked up at Zheng Zeyi and realized that the dark circles under his eyes seemed to have gotten heavier. At this moment, her heart was filled with heartache. She threw all the ¡°insignificant¡± matters in Jianghai to the back of her mind. How could they be more important than Zheng Zeyi? A warm hand caressed her boyfriend¡¯s thin face, and Joes could not bear to say,¡±¡±Do you want to sleep a little longer? I think you haven¡¯t rested enough.¡± In order to take care of her, Zheng Zeyi had been in the hospital for the past few days. He had been sitting there and taking a short nap. How could he possibly endure such a long sleep? ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡±she said. Zheng Zeyi shook his head. What he was more concerned about was still Joes¡¯s safety. However, Joes¡¯s attitude this time was extremely unyielding. It was as if she would not let him off as long as he did not sleep. She put her hands on her waist and said with a frown,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t sleep, I won¡¯t sleep tonight either. Are you going to sleep?¡± ¡°Sleep, I¡¯ll sleep.¡± What could Zheng Zeyi do when it came to his little ancestor? of course, he could only pamper her. However, there was no other ce for him to lie down and rest in the ward except for Joes ¡®bed. Qiao sisi did not want him to sleep while sitting as it was easy for him to get sore all over, but Zheng Zeyi was not willing to go home. Neither side was willing to lower their heads. In the end, Zheng ze raised his brows, took off his coat very calmly, and stood beside Qiao si si. ¡°What ... What are you doing?¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes flickered. She still needed to rest, what was he trying to do? The facts proved that she was overthinking. ¡°Sisi, your bed is quite big, it should be big enough to fit me.¡± Zheng Zeyiughed evilly. Let me sleep here for a while, it won¡¯t take long. ¡± After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Joes to refute him. Instead, he burrowed into the nket and fell asleep next to Joes. Chapter 478

Chapter 478: Isn¡¯t that enough?

The two of them were very close to each other, and they could feel each other¡¯s body temperature, which made them feel extremely at ease. Joes¡¯s face turned red. Just as she was about to reprimand him, she looked down and realized that Zheng ze had already fallen asleep. ¡°He should be very tired after these few days.¡± Joesse smiled with heartache and could not help but reach out to stroke Zheng Zeyi¡¯s soft hair as she leaned against him. Zheng Zeyi was very good-looking. He was the type who would be stunned at first nce, but the more one looked at him, the more good-looking he became. Qiao si si felt that she must have fallen in love too, otherwise, why would she be so infatuated with Zheng Zeyi? ¡°Alright, alright, calm down!¡± Joes blinked her eyes and forced herself to calm down. After she had calmed down, shey on the other side of the bed and closed her eyes. Soon, he fell asleep. His body was still very weak, so he naturallycked sleep. On a hospital bed, two people snuggled up to each other. There was a sweet smell in the air. It was the smell of dog food. Even the nurse couldn¡¯t help but smile when she entered and saw this scene. She gently closed the door. ¡­¡­¡­ ...... At the same time, at the Qiao family¡¯s residence. They did not know what had happened to Joes, nor did they have the chance to know. Qiao Feng and the others were waiting at home for Zhao Hai ¡®er to return so that they could take the money from her. Qiao Lei frowned and asked,¡±dad, is this really okay?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er will give us the money?¡± After hearing this, Qiao Feng¡¯s hand that was smoking paused for a moment. He blew out a ring of smoke and said with a sh of ruthlessness in his eyes,¡±¡±For the sake of your debt, even if she doesn¡¯t want to pay, she has to pay this time! If she doesn¡¯t give it to me, then she can forget about leaving this house this time!¡± His tone was sharp, and it was clear that he was not just saying it. For the sake of their son, so what if they had to lose an outsider¡¯s daughter? Anyway, it was not his family. Moreover, if Zhao Hai ¡®er really had a lot of money, it could make the Qiao family¡¯s life a little better. If possible ... Take more money! Liu Yun knew what Qiao Feng was thinking. After all, Qiao Lei was her son. Zhao Hai ¡®er was a woman, and she would have to get married sooner orter. By then, a married daughter would be like water that had been poured out, and she would not be able to get much money. Gritting her teeth, Liu Yun nodded and said,¡±Okay. When hai ¡®eres back, I¡¯ll take her to her room.¡± He could only lock her up after entering the room. The few of them came to a consensus and eyed Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s money covetously. Ever since she gave them 100000st time, they had thought that she must have more money on her. Zhao Hai ¡®er had no idea what had happened at home. She had just gotten out of Qian Yu¡¯s car and put her bank card in her bag, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrobly. ¡°That¡¯s great. I have 350000 now. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was so happy that she almost whistled. She was now a person with 350000 Yuan. This was not a small amount. Although he could not buy a house in city h, he could already do a lot of things. ¡°Crack ...¡± . Zhao Hai ¡®er hummed a little tune as she returned home. She tidied up her clothes and opened the door to see Qiao Feng and the rest sitting in the living room. When they saw her return, their gazes fell on her. For no reason, Zhao Hai ¡®er felt weird. She frowned and asked,¡±¡±Mom, dad, are you not at work today?¡± Logically speaking, in order to pay back Qiao Lei¡¯s money, these two worked very hard, almost every day. Zhao Hai ¡®er hadn¡¯t seen them for a few days. When she returned home today, she saw all three of them. And the way they were staring at him was a little strange. After saying that, Liu Yun forced out a smile that looked a little stiff. She tried to make herself look natural,¡±Hai ¡®er, you¡¯re back. Dad and mom are on holiday today. I thought that after being busy for so many days, it¡¯s time to take a break. ¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mouth twitched. She nced at the expressionless Qiao Feng, then quickly turned away and walked into the room. Seeing this, Qiao Lei lowered his head slightly to hide the greed in his eyes. However, just as Zhao Hai ¡®er was about to enter, Liu Yun quickly ran over and followed her. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s bad premonition became more and more obvious. She furrowed her brows and spoke in a bad tone. As if she didn¡¯t notice this, Liu Yun smiled and said softly,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, let me in. I have something to tell you.¡± Matters? Zhao Hai ¡®er was confused. She did not know what Liu Yun and the others were up to. But after some thought, Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded and brought Liu Yun into the room. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s room was clean, and ever since she had hooked up with Qian Yu, she had added a lot of things to her room. The clothes in the wardrobe were also of many famous brands. Basically, she bought them with Qian Yu¡¯s money when Zhao Hai ¡®er went shopping. After all, Qian Yu didn¡¯t go shopping with her. Zhao Hai ¡®er used his money, and sometimes she would buy herself expensive things. This old apartment was just a temporary residence for Zhao Hai ¡®er. Now that she had 350000 Yuan, she would leave this ce sooner orter and go to a better ce to live. As for the Qiao family? ¡°Ha ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er could not help but sneer. It was not that she had not thought of giving him some money to get rid of him. They were a bunch of trash. She wasn¡¯t prepared to pay for it herself and then support them. If not for the fact that the Qiao family had sold their house and had no money left, Zhao Hai ¡®er would have wanted to take some money from them. He had to admit that they were indeed a family. Their greedy nature was the same. After Zhao Hai ¡®er entered the room, she threw her bag on the bed and took off her earrings in front of the mirror.¡±¡±Tell me, mom, what do you want to tell me?¡± Behind him, Liu Yun¡¯s eyes flickered as she nced at the bag on the bed. She quickly looked away and said,¡±Hai ¡®er, mom just wanted to ask you. Do you have any money on you?¡± The moment he said that, the atmosphere instantly fell silent. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hands stopped in the middle of removing her earrings. She squinted her eyes, feeling a little upset. She turned her head and looked at Liu Yun. She pretended to be sad and said,¡±Mom, I¡¯ve already given my family 100000 Yuan. Isn¡¯t that enough? I borrowed these from outside and have to return them to my friends. I bought all these things with my own sry. You¡¯re good to Qiao Lei, but you can¡¯t disappoint me, mom!¡± Chapter 479

Chapter 479: As expected, dad is the best

If Liu Yun and the others had not been certain that Zhao Hai ¡®er had more money on her, they might have been fooled by her current appearance. Zhao Hai ¡®er was confident that Liu Yun and the others would not be able to understand branded goods. Each of these branded clothes cost thousands of Yuan. If he sold a few of them, he could pay off part of Qiao Lei¡¯s debt. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er had never thought of it that way. Why should she share the money she earned by selling her body with that useless Qiao Lei? Simply whimsical! Seeing Zhao Hai ¡®er squeeze out a few drops of tears, Liu Yun was even more displeased. She frowned and said,¡±hai ¡®er, I know you still have money on you. You don¡¯t have to pretend to be pitiful.¡± You¡¯re Qiao Lei¡¯s sister. He owes you so much money, shouldn¡¯t you exchange it for him?¡± Liu Yun paused for a moment.¡±Lei is the only male heir in our family. He will have to carry on the family line in the future. How can he carry such a heavy debt?¡± All the usations were directed at Zhao Hai ¡®er. Fortunately, Jossi was smart enough to leave the Qiao family early on. Otherwise, she would be the one being forced to do this. ¡°Mom!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and interrupted Liu Yun. Her eyes were filled with anger,¡±¡±So what? am I not your daughter? ...... Mom, you¡¯re my biological mother. I¡¯ll take you with me even if I¡¯m doing well. Why should Qiao Lei, that trash, pay him back?¡± It was noisy in the house. At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open. The door creaked as if it was going to fall apart in the next second. After all, the door was a little old. Standing outside the door were Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei, who looked angry. ¡°Who are you calling trash?¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes were red as he red at Zhao Hai ¡®er, as if he was going to beat her up in the next second. Zhao Hai ¡®er panicked when she saw his fierce eyes. She took a step back and said,¡±¡±Why do you care who I¡¯m talking about?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the useless one!¡± Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel and could not stop, Qiao Feng directly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground and stomped on it a few times. He took a deep breath and said fiercely,¡±¡±Alright! All of you, shut up!¡± Everyone was frightened by the angry shout and unconsciously closed their mouths and became quiet. Qiao Feng scanned the people in the room, and his eyes finallynded on Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had a bad expression on her face. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhao Hai ¡®er.¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, take out your money and pay off Lei¡¯s debt.¡± After Qiao Lei heard this, he looked quite proud. After all, his family was on his side. ¡°I don¡¯t have any money!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s voice was sharp. She picked up her bag and prepared to leave this ce. If they stayed any longer, who knew what the consequences would be! Zhao Hai ¡®er was right, but she was still too slow. It would be impossible to escape in this situation! ¡°Get back!¡± Qiao Feng was a little angry, and he pped Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face hard, leaving a huge palm print. Zhao Hai ¡®er was also pped to the ground. She could not hold her bag and it fell to the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er covered her face, her voice hoarse. She watched as Qiao Lei picked up the bag on the ground and rummaged through it. She was really going crazy. All the money she had earned these days was in her bag. It was 350000! It was enough for Qiao Lei to pay off his debt, but that was her money! Liu Yun looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er with pity. She gritted her teeth and quickly made up her mind. She came to Qiao Lei¡¯s side and saw him find a bank card in his bag. She asked,¡±¡±Lei, is this the bank card?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t open it without the password.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Qiao Lei replied in frustration. He held the bank card tightly in his hand and threw his bag aside. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened when she saw him holding her bank card. She quickly got up from the bed and tried to snatch it from him.¡±Give it back to me, it¡¯s mine!¡± ¡°Bah! It¡¯s mine now!¡± Qiao Lei sneered and waved the bank card with 350000 Yuan in front of Zhao Hai ¡®er. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked Zhao Hai ¡®er in the stomach! ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er let out a scream and fell on the bed. She held her stomach and rolled around. Her forehead was covered in sweat. It could be seen how much damage this kick had caused her. Liu Yun swallowed her saliva and advised,¡±¡±Lei, don¡¯t call. We haven¡¯t even gotten the password to the bank card.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Qiao Lei nodded in agreement with Liu Yun. Before he got the password, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s existence was still important. He could not kill her. He didn¡¯t know how much money was in the bank card. Qiao Lei yed with it for a while, and the corner of his mouth finally raised into a smile. If there were no idents, the debt this time could be solved! He hadn¡¯t gone out for a long time because he was afraid of being caught by boss long and the others. After paying off the debt, Qiao Lei wouldn¡¯t have to worry about so much and could just go out. Qiao Feng nodded with satisfaction when he saw Qiao Lei get the bank card. He looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er on the bed and said,¡±¡±Tell me, what¡¯s the password to your bank card?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t tell you!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er squeezed out the words through her teeth. She thought that she was quite smart, but she did not expect that she would fall into the hands of the Qiao family! From the moment she received the money, Zhao Hai ¡®er should have moved out of this ce. If that had happened, things would not have happened. But now, it was toote to regret. ¡°Dad, what should we do if she doesn¡¯t tell us?¡± Qiao Lei frowned. After hearing this, Qiao Feng took out another cigarette, but he was toozy to care anymore and left the room temporarily. However, he did leave a message.¡±Lock her up for now. Don¡¯t give her anything to eat. There¡¯s still time anyway. Let¡¯s see when she¡¯s ready to let go.¡± ¡°Yes, as expected, dad is the best!¡± Qiao Lei ttered her and left with the bank card. Liu Yun did not stay any longer and even locked the door when she left. Zhao Hai ¡®er was the only one left in the room. She was curled up in the corner of the bed, her eyes filled with anger. She would not let any of these people off! In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. The weather these few days had been pretty good. After resting in the hospital for so many days, joesse¡¯s body had almost fully recovered. She could eat anything and was able to jump around energetically. Chapter 480 - can you give way

Chapter 480: Chapter 481-can you give way

On this day, after Qiao sisi¡¯s coaxing and pestering, Zheng Zeyi finally agreed to let her be discharged. Joes walked out of the hospital and stood at the entrance for a while, breathing in the fresh air. ¡°It¡¯s still better outside. ¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled when he heard herment. He reached out to stroke her hair and said,¡±¡±Then you have to be careful next time. Don¡¯t go to the hospital again and don¡¯t make me worry.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded her head heavily. After that, the two of them returned to the blue sky Apartment. Lin ya and Wang Li, who had already been discharged from the hospital, also returned home early to rest. Zheng Zeyi suddenly stopped in his tracks when he reached the ground floor of the blue sky Apartment. Joes could not help but be stunned. With a puzzled expression, she could not help but ask,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter, Zeyi? what happened?¡± She nced around and saw that they were in the parking lot below the apartment. Other than the car, there was nothing strange about it. In the next moment, Zheng Zeyi grabbed Qiao SI¡¯s hand and forced her to take something. ¡°What did you give me?¡± Joes furrowed her brows and opened her palm to find that she was holding a car key. ...... At this point, how could she not understand Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thoughts? A few nights ago, the car that Joes had bought had been destroyed by Brother ck Dragon and his men. It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t use it. However, the ss waspletely broken, and there were many scratches and cracks on the body of the car, all left by the tattooed man and his group. In order to capture Jossi and get her reward from Jianghai city, he had put in a lot of effort. ¡°If your car has been repaired, it will take some time, and it¡¯s not very easy to use. I bought you a new one to see if you like it.¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his smile was extremely charming. Joes¡¯s face was slightly red as she looked at the car keys in her hand. She knew that the car was of a very good brand and was worth a lot of money. The Lamborghini. Following Zheng ze to the front of the car, Joes only took one look and was immediately attracted by the extremely cool car in front. The car was white in color and had an outstanding appearance. The lines were extremely smooth, and even joesse, who did not know much about cars, was shocked when she saw it. ¡°You ... Why did you give me such an expensive car?¡± Joes¡¯s voice was as soft as a mosquito. She was indeed a little embarrassed. After all, Zheng Zeyi had given her a shop as a gift. Now, it was a luxury car that started at ten million Yuan. She was really too embarrassed to ept it. ¡°If you¡¯re too embarrassed to ept it, how about you open it for a while? We¡¯ll talk about it after your car is fixed. ¡± Zheng Zeyi understood Qiao sisi very well. He could guess what she was thinking almost instantly. After saying that, joesse finally felt a little better. She raised her head slightly and nodded,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. If it wasn¡¯t a gift but just for a period of time, she could still ept it. After all, there was no need for a couple to be so distant. Moreover, Qiao sisi had decided that she would give Zheng Zeyi another 10% of thepany¡¯s shares when she returned to thepany. It was a return gift! She had already epted so many gifts from Zheng Zeyi. If she did not return anything, it would not be in line with her personality. ¡°Do you want to go up and try?¡± . Upon hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s maic voice, joesse blinked her eyes and shook her head. ¡°Let¡¯s try again tomorrow. How about we go back to the apartment first?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you,¡± After checking out the car, the two of them returned to the apartment hand in hand. The Lamborghini that was parked outside had attracted the attention of many passers-by. Some even took photos and uploaded them to the inte. All of a sudden, it became a hot topic on the inte. ¡­¡­¡­ On the second day. Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi spent another day together in the apartment. She finally decided to return to thepany the next day. Zheng Zeyi did not agree at first, but Qiao si knew him well. After she gave him a kiss, he relented. In addition, he had stayed in the hospital for many days and there were many matters that needed to be dealt with in the Zheng¡¯s group. Zheng ze reminded joesse to be careful before he went to thepany. Joes nodded in agreement, pretending to be very well-behaved. After Zheng Zeyi left, she stretchedzily and rested on the sofa for a while. Then, she saw a message from Miley. Miley: ¡°President, are youing back today?¡± Looking at this message, Jossi¡¯s eyes were in a daze as she recalled what had happened in the past few days. It still felt like a dream. It had been six days since the night of the incident, and she had not been to the office. Of course, Zheng Zeyi had informed Miley to let her manage thepany¡¯s Affairs temporarily. After not returning for so many days, joesse knew without a doubt that there were many things waiting for her. ¡°Good luck.¡± She took a deep breath and cheered herself on before going to the bedroom to change into a suit that looked more energetic. However, in the past few days, something else had happened that Joes did not understand. After Chen zuolin received the news, he had originally nned to visit joesse in the hospital. However, Zheng Zeyi had rejected her with the excuse that joesse was resting and had never mentioned it after that. As a result, Joes did not know about this matter at all. After changing her clothes, Jossi looked at herself in the mirror and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her. Then, she took her bag and left the blue sky Apartment. When she got downstairs, she saw a lot of people surrounding her car, most of them taking photos of the car. She raised her eyebrows slightly, but she could understand his behavior. After all, she did not have much money in the past and would be surprised when she saw luxury cars. At the thought of this, Joes¡¯s expression softened a little. She took out her car keys from her pocket and walked forward with them in her hand. She went straight to the front of the car. The others thought she was going to take photos too, but they didn¡¯t make way for her. She couldn¡¯t get into the car with everyone around her. Joes blinked her eyes and patted the shoulder of a passerby, saying,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, can you make way?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± The passerby didn¡¯t seem to have realized what was going on, and his eyes were filled with confusion. However, after he came to his senses, he quickly moved aside and made space for them to get into the car. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. After Joes thanked him, she did not dy and immediately pressed the rear button on her car key. ¡°Di di.¡± All of a sudden, the car made a sound, which shocked everyone. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Joes¡¯s expression did not change. She calmly opened the car door and got into the driver¡¯s seat. Chapter 481

Chapter 481: A luxury car worth tens of millions

The crowd that had been so tight that not even a drop of water could trickle through earlier had suddenly exploded into a pot of boiling water at this moment. All of them were extremely surprised. When joesse first arrived, they did not think too much about it. But now, she was the car owner! The crowd started to discuss among themselves as they took out their phones to take pictures. However, they were still polite and did not dare to take pictures of Jossi¡¯s face. This was a big Shot, and they didn¡¯t dare to offend him. ¡°Boom Boom.¡± The car let out a loud roar and joesse honked the horn. When she saw that the people around her had made way for her, she revealed a faint smile. She smiled at the crowd, then started the car and drove away. All that was left was his handsome back. The crowd was reluctant to put away their phones, and the sound of their discussion was drowned out again and again. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that the owner of this luxury car would be a girl, and she doesn¡¯t look too old!¡± Someone sighed. After hearing his words, a girl in the crowd said enviously,¡±¡±There are many capable girls nowadays. It¡¯s not strange for them to drive luxury cars.¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome! I must upload it online!¡± ¡°Me too!¡± ...... They hurriedly uploaded the videos they took to their Weibo or WeChat. In addition, it was a rarely seen luxury car, which had already caused a sensation. Seeing the owner today, the poprity increased even more. At that moment, Jossi was already driving on the main road. A luxury car like a Lamborghini would attract the attention of many car owners even if it was driven on the road. All of them increased their speed in an attempt to get closer to joesse¡¯s car. However, they would also be smart enough to put some distance between them. If they couldn¡¯t stop the car and hit it, they would be in danger. It had turned from aedy into a tragedy. Not everyone could afford to pay for such a luxury car. Looking at this scene, joesse raised her brows slightly and felt rather helpless. However, she could not say anything. It was normal for people to drive on the streets, so he couldn¡¯t be so overbearing. Five minutester. Joesse arrived at Xing Yuan design. This time, she had learned her lesson. She did not park the car in front of thepany but in thepany¡¯s underground garage. In the past, for convenience¡¯s sake, joesse would Park her car directly below thepany building. However, now that Zheng Zeyi had given her this car, that method would no longer work. It was already an expensive car. If it was parked outside for a long time, it would be difficult to deal with the crowd that had gathered like this morning. Moreover, this was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s new car, and joesse did not want it to have any bumps. ¡°Bang!¡± After closing the car door, joesse took off her sunsses and ced them in her bag, locking the car. She had not been to thepany for a few days and she really missed it. After taking the elevator, Joes quickly reached a Hall. She specially came out to greet the employees on the first floor. ¡°Good day, President!¡± ¡°Good Morning, President!¡± ¡°President ... Are you alright these few days?¡± Upon seeing Joes¡¯s arrival, many of the employees became excited and asked about her recent situation. Upon hearing their words of concern, Joes smiled and nodded.¡±¡±I¡¯ve been doing well recently. It seems like Miley is managing thepany very well.¡± ¡°President, you might not know this, but assistant mi wakes up really early and gets off work reallyte every day to handlepany affairs and some other work.¡± One of the employees ¡®words caught Jossi¡¯s attention. She was silent for a while, but the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. Miley ... Was indeed a very good assistant. ¡°Alright, you guys work hard. It¡¯s going to be Valentine¡¯s Day in a few days. I¡¯ll give you prizes then.¡± Joes said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cheers rang out in the hall.¡±The president is generous!¡± Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Joris arrived at the second floor. This time, it was not to greet the employees. Instead, he came to see Lin ya and Wang Li. After the two of them were discharged from the hospital, they chose to rest for a day before returning to thepany to work. They had just returned today. Considering that the two of them were still injured, Joes specially came to ask. ¡°Squeak ...¡± The office door was suddenly pushed open, making a soft sound. Thismotion quickly attracted the attention of the employees inside, and they all looked over. They were even more surprised when they saw Joes. After all, Joes had note to thepany for a few days because she was unconscious. This time, she came without any warning. She hadn¡¯t told Millie about this yet, and she wanted to give her a surprise when she went up. ¡°I¡¯m fine. You guys continue with your work. Don¡¯t mind me. ¡± A bright smile appeared on Joes¡¯s face. After she said that, she moved to Lin ya and Wang Li¡¯s seats. As expected, the two of them really came to thepany today. In order to make themselves look better, they even put on light makeup. ¡°You two really came!¡± Jossi¡¯s voice came from above her head. Lin ya had already noticed that she was in the office and pushed the empty chair in front of her. Joes did not open the door and sat down immediately. Her presence still made the staff in the office a little nervous, and they might even whisper to each other on normal days. But now, no one spoke. Only Lin ya and Wang Li knew her, and with their life-and-death experiences, they were naturally much bolder. Lin ya sighed and clutched her chest.¡±¡±Sisi, I have no choice. I also want to rest for a few days. But if you don¡¯te to thepany and can¡¯t apply for leave, I¡¯m going to deduct your sry this month. ¡± Lin ya¡¯s expression was so sorrowful that she looked like she was about to cry the next moment when she said the word ¡®sry deduction¡¯. ¡°You ...¡± Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes and said helplessly,¡±¡±You¡¯re speaking as if I¡¯m going to dock your pay. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to?¡± Lin ya asked despite knowing the answer. Seeing this scene, Wang Li was also helpless. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she exposed Lin ya¡¯s lie without hesitation.¡±Sisi, don¡¯t believe her nonsense. She¡¯s just too bored at home. She really had nothing to do, so she came back to work. Otherwise, she would have been more than happy to rest for two more days. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Joes quickly agreed with Wang Li¡¯s statement because Lin ya¡¯s personality was indeed like that. ¡°Sisi, I saw you driving a Lamborghini to thepany on the inte today. Is it true?¡± Lin ya asked curiously. As a woman who loved to gossip and a seniorizen, she naturally knew about this matter. She wasn¡¯t the only one who knew about it. After Lin ya found out about it from the inte, she realized that everyone else in the office knew about it. This was a Lamborghini, a luxury car worth tens of millions! Chapter 482 - The Jiang corporation’s lifeline

Chapter 482: The Jiang corporation¡¯s lifeline

In the end, Lin ya¡¯s good friend, joesse, was sitting in the car. This meant that she might be able to ride in a luxury car like this. How could he not be excited? After hearing Lin ya¡¯s words, Joes was slightly taken aback and asked,¡±¡±You¡¯ve already seen it on the inte?¡± She really didn¡¯t expect the news to spread so quickly. Lin ya nodded and quickly exined,¡±¡±What do you think? this kind of luxury car is the easiest to attract attention from others, not to mention that you¡¯re driving it alone. There are a lot of people discussing this on the inte, and many of them have even found out your identity. Even the reputation of Xing Yuan design has risen a little. ¡± F * ck! Joesse¡¯s pupils shrank. Theseizens were really free ... At this moment, Wang Li nodded and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. This matter has been quite popr recently.¡± Jossi facepalmed.¡±Looks like I¡¯ll have to think of a way to reduce the poprity. It¡¯s always being uploaded on the inte. I¡¯m really helpless.¡± Her words received two eye-rolls. After chatting with Lin ya and Huo yunshen for a while, joesse took a look at the time on her phone. More than ten minutes had passed. There were still other things to deal with upstairs, so it wasn¡¯t good for Jossi to stay here for too long. After bidding Lin ya and Lin Yi goodbye, she left the office in a hurry. ...... He left under the envious gazes of the crowd. When the elevator reached the third floor, Joes walked out. After walking around the corridor, she saw Millie, who was busy at her desk. She smiled and walked up to Millie.¡±¡±Miley, it¡¯s been hard on you during this period of time,¡± ¡°President?¡± Seeing the figure in front of her, Millie was stunned. She was so excited that she didn¡¯t know what to say. Millie had also heard from Zheng Zeyi about what had happened to Qiao sisi. She had wanted to visit the hospital, but there were too many things to do at thepany. He had no choice but to wait until now. However, what Millie did not know was that after only a few days, Joes had been discharged from the hospital. ¡°President, are you ... Are you okay?¡± Millie said worriedly, her eyes sizing up Joes. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he didn¡¯t see any injuries. Seeing this, the smile on Joes¡¯s face deepened. She shook her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. The doctor checked me and I was only allowed to leave the hospital after I was fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Millie felt like the heavy stone in her heart had finally been lifted. After that, Joes patted Millie¡¯s shoulder with a gentle smile on her face.¡±¡±Alright, now that I¡¯m back, I¡¯ll deal with the things that I need to deal with myself.¡± Millie was stunned for a moment. After she recovered, she said with a serious expression,¡±¡±You can ¡®t, President. You¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital and need more rest. I can do a lot of things in thepany now. President, if you¡¯re bored, you can just rest in the office. ¡± Millie was really thinking for Joes. In her words, she was hoping that she could take care of her body and rest well. Joes wanted to say that she was fine and reject Millie¡¯s words, but when she saw Millie¡¯s determined expression, her heart softened and she swallowed her words. ¡°...Then take a rest. But you can¡¯t just sit around doing nothing. Give me the list of thepanies that you¡¯ve decided to work with recently. I¡¯ll go and check the information of eachpany.¡± ¡°But ...¡± . Seeing that Millie still wanted to take the me, Joes frowned and pretended to be unhappy.¡±¡±No buts, just do as I say.¡± For now, cooperation was a very important thing for Xing Yuan design. Millie had been busy with this matter recently, but she had not collected all the information. In addition, there were somepanies that were interested in working with her. She could not talk about cooperation without Joes, so she could only put it on hold. Now that Joes was back, many things could be started. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Millie nodded in agreement. Joes gave Millie a few more instructions before returning to the office and sitting on the soft leather chair. In front of her was aputer. Her clean fingertipsnded on the mouse while her other hand started theputer. In the meantime, Millie sent the information she had gathered about the partnerpanies to Joes ¡®office. Joes took the document and flipped through it. She was rather satisfied. Miley had done her homework very well. She had collected all the information about thesepanies very well. Millie would not include the insignificant ones. They were all important data of thepany and other aspects. Joes closed the document in satisfaction, looked at Millie, and said,¡±¡±Alright, then you can go and do other things first. Leave this to me.¡± ¡°Sure, President.¡± Millie nodded and left the office. The huge office instantly fell silent again. Jossi raised her eyebrows and turned her head slightly to look out the window. The warm sunlight shone through the window into the office. There was a feeling of peace and quiet. Narrowing her eyes for a while, joesse gathered her thoughts and began to carefully read through the documents in the table of contents. Most of them were reputablepanies that he could work with, but he had to pay attention to some things. Jossi had even met and greeted the CEOs of manypanies at banquets. She was not going to use the smallpanies that she had terminated before. The icing on the cake came faster than anyone else, but once Xing Yuan design fell into danger, he was afraid that he would not run fast enough. Joesse did not wish for herpany to be stabbed in the back by a seemingly friendly force when it was facing a difficult situation. That would be the most awkward thing. The Presidents of those smallpanies probably knew what they had done wrong, so they never came to look for Jossi again. ¡°This is ...¡± After flipping to one of the pages, Joes¡¯s hand stopped. The Jiang corporation¡¯s name was written on the page, and there were some stories about thepany below. Joesse scanned through the list and frowned. As expected, the Jiang Corporation did not have much credibility. Miley had also specifically hinted at the information below that if possible, do not choose to cooperate with thispany. ¡°Jianghai?¡± Joes recalled the greasy appearance of Jianghai and could not help but feel disgusted. She closed the document and took out a USB drive from her bag. The USB drive contained some evidence of Jianghai city. This evidence was what she had used to threaten Jianghai and the Jiang Corporation. Once it was exposed, the Jiang Corporation would definitely die. Chapter 483

Chapter 483: Chapter 484 breaking news

¡°It¡¯s time to think of a way to expose all these documents. ¡± Joes yed with the USB drive in her palm. She already had this idea when she was in the hospital, but she didn¡¯t have aputer at that time, so it wasn¡¯t convenient for her to hand this matter over to others. Hence, Joes waited until she was discharged, which was today. With a myriad of thoughts in her mind, Joes inserted the USB drive into theputer and opened the file to read through it. After confirming that there were no problems, she nodded. There was nothing wrong with the documents. Other than evidence of Jianghai¡¯s corruption and messy private life, there was also a lot of dirt on the Jiang Corporation. All the things added together this time were enough to destroy the Jiang Corporation. Initially, Joes was not prepared to expose this matter on the inte so quickly. However, this time, Jianghai city had crossed the line. Just a little more, just a little more! She, Lin ya, and Wang Li were all buried in the sea of fire. The evidence in Jianghai would not have disappeared, but if Zheng Zeyi had note to save them, they would have been dead. At the thought of this, Joes was still furious. She clenched her fists, opened a web page, and searched for the news website with the highest views. This website was very well-known and authoritative. At least the things that were posted were real. Joes only wanted to find a website editor to send these things over. She did not need to worry about the rest. ...... Once the evidence was released, the editor should know what kind of news it was. Joes held the mouse and scrolled to the bottom of the page. There were a few contacts of the editors below. However, these were all external e-mails or submission numbers. If they wanted to be seen, it would still take some time. ¡°No, this is still too slow. I remember ... I think I met an editor at the party.¡± Joes¡¯s fingers rubbed her chin as she recalled what had happened at the charity Association. That was about a week ago, and her memory was a little blurry. He only vaguely remembered that at the venue, a few people were talking not far away, and they seemed to have mentioned the news editor. At the thought of this, Joes frowned slightly and picked up her phone to call Miley, who was outside. ¡°President, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Millie¡¯s confused voice came from the other end of the phone. Joes nodded and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s something I need your help with. I need the contact information of an editor of the zero degrees news website. However, it¡¯d better be a reliable and credible editor. I need to contact this editor about something. ¡± In order to maximize the influence of this matter, it was necessary to find a good promotion emissary. And ... A sharp article. After hearing Joes¡¯s words, Millie immediately understood what she meant and immediately agreed,¡±¡±I understand, President. I¡¯ll find one for you now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After hanging up the phone, Millie, who was outside, began to look for the contact information and information of the editors. Xingyuan design had some reserves of these, but not much. After all, when it came to publicity, there would always be a day when they would work together. Even if they didn¡¯t need it, they would still have contact information. Millie searched for a while and finally found an editor named LAN Tian. His news was very popr. Not only that, but the news was also well-written. Millie felt that she wouldn¡¯t be able to interest the editor with just the phone. She might need to meet him. . She didn¡¯t need to worry about that. After getting the contact information, Miley knocked on the office door with the note. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± There was a knock on the door, and Joes suddenly raised her head and said,¡±¡±Come in.¡± After that, Millie pushed the door open and entered the office. She ced the note on the desk.¡±President, this is the contact information of an editor named LAN Tian.¡± ¡°Blue tform?¡± Jossi raised her eyebrows. She had heard of this name before. When she was bored in the apartment, she would turn on the television to watch it. Most of the time, the news scripts written by this editor could be seen on television. He should be a good candidate. Joes revealed a faint smile and said,¡±¡±Alright, then you can leave it here. Go do your work, Miley.¡± ¡°Okay, it¡¯s fine, President.¡± After Millie left the office, Joes picked up the note on the table. Other than phone numbers, there was also WeChat. However, she still chose to call him. Instead of calling him directly, she sent him a text message tactfully. [Joesse: Hello, editor blue sky. I¡¯m the president of Xing Yuan design.] After she sent the message, she didn¡¯t receive a reply immediately. She had already mentally prepared herself and put her phone aside for the time being. The information of these partners was also very important, and he could not be careless. Just as Joes was immersed in her thoughts, the phone on the table suddenly buzzed. She quickly picked it up and read it. It was indeed a reply from LAN Tian. [LAN Tian: so it¡¯s President Qiao. I wonder why you¡¯re looking for me all of a sudden. Do you need any help?] Looking at the message, Jossi raised her eyebrows and quickly typed,¡¯let¡¯s talk on the phone¡¯. After she sent the message, she dialed the number on the note. On the other side of the phone, LAN Tian was still sitting in front of hisputer, editing the news. The sudden ringing of his mobile phone made his fingers stop. After a while, he picked up the phone. ¡°President Qiao?¡± It was a rather cold male voice that sounded young. Joes was taken aback and did not react for a moment. She had thought that such news editors would be older. She had imagined that they would be around 30 to 40 years old. However, when he heard this voice, he felt that his guess might be wrong. Clearing her throat, joesse suppressed the thoughts in her heart and said,¡±¡±Hello, editor LAN Tian. I won¡¯t waste any more time talking to you. It¡¯s just that ... I have a piece of breaking news here, I wonder if you¡¯re interested?¡± ¡°Breaking news?¡± Joes¡¯s words left LAN Tian at aplete loss for words. At the same time, he was also very interested. For President Qiao to say that it was big news, it should not be too ordinary. Why not ... Take a look? LAN Tian thought for a while before he cautiously said, ¡°It¡¯s like this. I don¡¯t know if President Qiao can tell me about it so that I can have some understanding. For example, what kind of news is this and what kind of impact will it have?¡± If he didn¡¯t know this, LAN Tian wouldn¡¯t have made a rash decision and ruined his own reputation. Upon hearing that, Joes¡¯s fingers rapped on the table, creating a steady sound. Chapter 484

Chapter 484: It¡¯s bigger than I thought

If one were to talk about what kind of news this was in Jianghai, it should be rted to everything. Joes opened the page and looked at it. Following the name of the document, she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s breaking news about arge corporation, for example ... Corruption. Of course, this leader¡¯s culture isn¡¯t very good either. If we expose him, it might cause a reaction from everyone. ¡± Jianghai had never done anything good. Even the charity Association that theirpany had previously organized was only for show. There was not much money that the refugees could get their hands on in private, and some of them did not even have any. Only the Jiang Corporation in Jianghai city had some reputation in the industry. No one would want to provoke a shameless person like him. Otherwise, it would have been exposed a long time ago, and not just anyone could find out about these things. After listening to joesse¡¯s description, blue sky was slightly relieved. He also roughly understood what kind of news this was. Since it was such a piece of news, he couldn¡¯t miss it. However, LAN Tian was still a little worried about doing business online without seeing him. He said,¡±President Qiao, if you say so, the news should be fine. However, it¡¯s still a little inappropriate to make an online deal. Why don¡¯t we set a time and meet outside?¡± He was a little apprehensive as he did not know if Joes would agree. However, LAN Tian was wrong about this. She couldn¡¯t wait to expose Jianghai¡¯s deeds so that she could take revenge. ...... Perhaps Jianghai city had also received news that Joes had survived the fire. If they continued to dy, they might be ready to run away. Joes was right, Jianghai was indeed preparing to escape. It was just that they could not let go of this achievement and had not left yet. Joes readily agreed to Blue Sky¡¯s request.¡±Sure. I hope it¡¯s today. You can decide the location.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± LAN Tian¡¯s voice was filled with joy as he continued,¡±President Qiao, if you don¡¯t mind, you cane out and meet me now. As for the location, how about the cause and effect caf¨¦ next to star Yuanpany?¡± ¡°No problem,¡± he said. After the two of them reached an agreement, they hung up the phone at the same time. Joes¡¯s smile deepened. This time, she had finally settled the matter in Jianghai. As for the 40 million, it didn¡¯t matter even if he didn¡¯t get it. The original n was to donate it to children in poor mountainous areas. From the looks of it now, it was better to do charity on his own. ¡°Miley, I¡¯m going out for a while. Help me look after thepany. Don¡¯t worry about the business partner. I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± After Joes left the office, she looked for Millie and said this to her. In reality, the most troublesome issue was the issue of partners. Now that Joes had taken over, Millie was much more at ease. She nodded.¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. I¡¯ll handle it.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s good.¡± Joes could not help butugh. She turned around and took the elevator out of star Yuan design. The cause and effect caf¨¦ was not far from the ce that Xing Yuan had designed. It was only a few minutes ¡®walk away. About five minutester, Joes¡¯s footsteps stopped in front of the cafe. She looked inside and smiled politely. After she entered, she nodded at the waiter. ¡°Customer, do you need my help?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Joes said with a smile.¡±I already have an appointment. Just give me two cups of coffeeter.¡± ¡°Alright, guest.¡± After greeting the waiter, joesse found a two-person seat by the window and sat down. She waited for a while, and the waiter quickly ced two cups of coffee with a strong aroma on the table. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Joes¡¯s smile was so sweet that the waiter¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She opened the sugar packet at the side and poured a small packet of sugar into the coffee. Then, she used a spoon to stir it slowly. ¡°It smells so good.¡± Jossi sighed. Just as she was about to take a sip of her coffee, a man in a trench coat suddenly walked in. The man looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. He had a delicate appearance and a slender figure. He was holding a brown briefcase. He seemed to be in a hurry. After entering the coffee shop, he looked around, looking for someone. Could it be ... A strange look shed across Joes¡¯s eyes. She recalled the voice she had heard on the phone earlier and felt that the person in front of her might be LAN Tian. At first, she thought he was young, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be so young. After searching for a while, the man¡¯s gaze finallynded on Joes. He quickly approached the seat and said,¡±¡±Is it President Qiao?¡± The voice was extremely familiar. At this moment, Joes could finally confirm that this was the blue sky! ¡°I am. You must be editor blue sky.¡± In order to show her sincerity, Joes stood up and extended her hand, shaking Blue Sky¡¯s hand. ¡°That¡¯s right. Hello, President Qiao. ¡± After the two of them greeted each other, LAN Tian sat down opposite Joes. When he saw the coffee in front of him, he did not stand on ceremony and took a sip. It had only been five minutes at most since the call ended. It was clear that LAN Tian had spent a lot of effort to get here. As Joes thought of this, her lips curled up and she said,¡±¡±Editor LAN Tian, now that we¡¯ve met, can we have a good talk about the news?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± LAN Tian nodded. ¡°President Qiao,¡± he exined to Joes,¡±I don¡¯t write about every news. So, if you don¡¯t mind, can you let me have a look?¡± LAN Tian knew that this request might not be a good one, but to ensure the authenticity of the news, he had to see it. Joes was not a fool and she knew some of the details. ¡°No problem,¡± she agreed.¡±I can let you have a look at the news I mentioned.¡± After saying that, Jossi took out a USB sh drive from her pocket and ced it on the table. She looked at the left side of the blue sky and said,¡±¡±Editor LAN Tian, you should have brought yourputer, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve brought it!¡± LAN Tian took out hisputer and smiled at joesse. After he turned it on, he inserted the USB drive into theputer. Soon, the contents were disyed. They were all about the Jiang Corporation. The more he read, the more LAN Tian¡¯s expression changed. In the end ... He closed theputer and pulled out the USB. Joes¡¯s eyes were nonchnt as she sipped the coffee in her hand and asked,¡±¡±Editor LAN Tian, this news ... What do you think? Can it be used?¡± ¡°Sure. The news that President Qiao mentioned is bigger than I thought.¡± LAN Tian revealed a bitter smile, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes. Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Call your father and brother over

It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t write this news article. It wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t written about more serious matters. It was just that this document was beyond LAN Tian¡¯s expectations. There were more things involved than he had imagined. ¡°As long as it¡¯s not impossible to write.¡± Joes was very open-minded and did not have any excessive requests. ¡°I can write the news, but I need President Qiao¡¯s permission for a few things,¡± LAN Tian said. ¡°What request?¡± Joes put down the cup of coffee in her hand, her eyesnding on the blue sky in front of her. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, at the Qiao family¡¯s residence. It was still a run-down apartment in a small room. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s room was no longer as clean as before. She had been locked up in her room for a few days! Qiao Feng and the others were also very cruel. They didn¡¯t give her food and only gave her some water asionally so that she wouldn¡¯t die of thirst. Zhao Hai ¡®er was lying on her side on the bed, wrapped in a nket. Her eyes were filled with despair and emptiness. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, but after so many days, she had gotten used to it. ...... Her bag was taken away, her bank card was taken away, and even her cell phone was not left behind. They were worried that she would use her cell phone to call for help. However, this worry was not without reason. If she had a cell phone, she might have contacted Qian Yu directly. However, he could only think about it now. They had not contacted each other for so many days. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not know what Qian Yu had been up to. She just wanted to get her 300000 Yuan back! Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth. If she had known that she would face such a situation when she returned home, she would have nevere back. The situation was very clear now. If Qiao Feng and the others did not get the password to the bank card, they would never let her leave the room. Zhao Hai ¡®er felt like she would go crazy if she continued to live in this dark room with nothing and no way out! ¡°No, I have to think of a way!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er covered her mouth with the nket, but she was quickly thinking about what she could do to survive. At that moment, the door creaked open. Someone wasing in! Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was lying on the bed, was shocked. She quickly got up and looked at the door. The door was open. The person who walked in was Liu Yun, who was dressed in a floral dress. Her expression was indescribable. Seeing her, Zhao Hai ¡®er heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it was not Qiao Feng or Qiao Lei. If the two of them came in, they might beat her up again, just likest time! The pain from that time was still vivid in her mind. Zhao Hai ¡®er was really scared of being hit, and she didn¡¯t want to be hit again. Her swollen face only disappeared after a few days. If it left a scar, Zhao Hai ¡®er would not know how to survive. She was now relying on her young body to earn money. ¡°Hai ¡®er ...¡± Liu Yun, who was standing at the door, hesitated for a moment before walking in and closing the door behind her. Zhao Hai ¡®er peeked through the door and saw Qiao Feng resting in the living room. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s body shivered, and she quickly gave up on the idea of running away. He was in the living room. If he tried to escape, he would definitely be caught and beaten up! She didn¡¯t want to! Liu Yun sat on the bed and looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face.¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, your face has almost recovered.¡± Bah! Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed in her heart when she saw Liu Yun¡¯s fake expression. If she cared, she would have brought her medicine. However, after so many days, Liu Yun did not evene in to greet him. He wondered if she had taken the wrong medicine. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er could not show it on her face. She put on a pitiful expression and said,¡±¡±Mom, I¡¯m so hungry. I haven¡¯t eaten for a few days.¡± She held onto Liu Yun¡¯s hand, her body still trembling slightly. Liu Yun¡¯s face stiffened when her hand was suddenly held. Her smile turned uglier and uglier.¡±Hai ¡®er, you know it. It¡¯s hard for me to be a mother.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m really hungry.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said with a sobbing tone. This time, she wasn¡¯t lying. She hadn¡¯t eaten for a few days, so it would be abnormal if she wasn¡¯t hungry. Liu Yun¡¯s brows furrowed even more as she pursed her lips and tried to persuade him,¡±Hai ¡®er, mom also wants to treat you well. I¡¯ll bring you food. You know that I rely on your dad to make a living at home. If you really can ¡®t, why don¡¯t you tell your dad the password to your bank card?¡± At this point, Liu Yun felt a little guilty. Her eyes flickered as she continued,¡±This way, you will feel better and won¡¯t have to suffer in vain. How about it?¡± At this point, if Zhao Hai ¡®er still didn¡¯t know that Liu Yun was sent by Qiao Feng and the others to pry open her mouth, she would be a real fool. Qiao Feng and his group had really tried their best. Zhao Hai ¡®erughed coldly in her heart. However, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. If she did not give him the password to her bank card, would she starve to death here? Qiao Feng¡¯s family had no heart. They were all vampires who valued profit above all else. She was no different. Therefore, it was very possible that they would do such a thing. ¡°I don¡¯t want to die yet ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er sighed, and a thought in her mind slowly became firm. Now that she was locked up, even if she wanted to, she couldn¡¯t do anything. It seemed like she would have to give away the 350000 Yuan sooner orter. No matter how much her heart ached, Zhao Hai ¡®er knew that her own life was more important. As long as he was alive, he could always find a way to get money. It was a pity that he had wasted 350000 Yuan. Zhao Hai ¡®er clenched the corner of her clothes so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. She felt waves of pain, but she did not seem to feel it. Seeing that she didn¡¯t reply for a long time, Liu Yun swallowed her saliva and leaned closer to her.¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, what do you think?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er raised her head and met Liu Yun¡¯s gaze. She said,¡±¡±Mom, I can tell you the password to my bank card.¡± His tone sounded very calm, but in fact, it had a bit of sarcasm. However, Liu Yun obviously couldn¡¯t tell. Instead, she asked in surprise,¡±Really? Hai ¡®er, are you really willing to tell us the password?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded. Since she had made up her mind, she could only continue acting and deceive these people. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call your dad and brother over now!¡± Liu Yun ran out of the room in surprise and asked Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei, who were watching TV in the living room and actually monitoring the room, toe in. They had heard what Zhao Hai ¡®er had said. After looking at each other, they smiled and quickly entered their rooms. Chapter 486

Chapter 486: Paying off Xiao Lei¡¯s debt

¡°Sister, are you serious? You¡¯re willing to pay me back?¡± The frivolous voice naturally belonged to Qiao Lei. At this time, he had started to please Zhao Hai ¡®er. She still hadn¡¯t forgotten that vicious kick from before. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression changed when she saw the two men enter the room. She felt a dull pain in her stomach again. She suppressed the hatred in her heart and tried to look as calm as possible,¡±¡±I can give Qiao Lei 300000 to pay off the debt, but the remaining 50000 is my own.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er still felt a bit of heartache after giving it all away. She hoped that she could keep some money for herself. Qiao Feng frowned and asked,¡±¡±There¡¯s 350000 Yuan in your bank ount. Where did you get it from?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You don¡¯t have to worry about where I got it from. I earned it myself.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said coldly. ¡°You earned it yourself?¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s face was cold. He wanted to continue asking, but when he saw Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression, which said that she would not give him a single cent if he continued to ask, he could only swallow his words. He only wanted to pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debt. As for Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s matters, he didn¡¯t want to care. ¡°Then tell us the password now.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er squinted her eyes when she heard Qiao Feng¡¯s words,¡±¡±I¡¯ll tell you, but will you agree to my conditions?¡± ...... ¡°Hai ¡®er!¡± At this moment, Liu Yun, who was standing beside him, suddenly said angrily. If one looked closely, one could see the greed in her eyes. It was obvious that she was interested in the 50000 Yuan. It was a total of 50000 Yuan. It would be a waste if she did not take it. Liu Yun did not want to push the money away. With that in mind, Liu Yun said with a serious face,¡±Hai ¡®er, you¡¯re wrong. We¡¯re family. What do you mean by¡¯ your request and mine ¡®?¡± ¡°A family?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression was calm. She looked around the room and sneered,¡±¡±Which family would lock their daughter in the room and not let her eat for days?¡± Only Liu Yun and the others were capable of doing so. Of course ... There might be many more people like this in the world, and Liu Yun and the others were definitely not the only ones. Her words caused Liu Yun to choke. Even though she felt a little awkward, she tried her best to suppress her emotions and advised,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, you can¡¯t say that. A family is supposed to help each other out. Now that Xiao Lei owes so much money and you happen to have money, of course you have to help him pay it back!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s logic was illogical. Zhao Hai ¡®er wasn¡¯t an idiot. She knew that she was interested in her 50000 Yuan. She was a little angry. However, he still pretended that nothing had happened. He forced a stiff smile and said,¡±¡±Mom, I only have 350000 Yuan in my card. I gave Xiao Lei 300000 Yuan. I¡¯m only leaving 50000 for myself, isn¡¯t that good enough? I¡¯m a girl, I have to buy something for myself, right?¡± ¡°You ...¡± Liu Yun furrowed her brows, not knowing what to say. She pouted and mumbled,¡±¡±Alright, keep 10000 for yourself and keep the remaining 40000 for your family. We don¡¯t have any money at home recently. If you have the ability, you should help out more at home. We can¡¯t even afford to eat!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s words were not a lie. For the sake of the money in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hands, they had applied for many days of leave. His sry had almost been deducted, not to mention that he had not saved much money after such a long time. Hearing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er squinted her eyes. This family ... Whoever wanted it could take it. If she still wanted to help, then she was brainless! ¡°Mom, it¡¯s only 50000 Yuan. Don¡¯t keep staring at it.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said, frowning. ¡°No!¡± Liu Yun still did not want to give up the 50000 Yuan just like that. Ever since they moved to city h, it was as if the heavens were going against their family. Her house was gone, and she didn¡¯t have much money left. She was even in debt of 300000 Yuan. Liu Yun was so stingy that she didn¡¯t want to let go of even a single Yuan. Not to mention such arge amount of 50000, he would be most at ease with it in his hands. The two of them argued back and forth, but in the end, they didn¡¯t get any useful results. Qiao Feng was getting impatient and shouted,¡±¡±Alright, all of you shut up! Give the 50000 Yuan to hai ¡®er, and give the remaining 300000 Yuan to Lei to pay off his debt. Is that okay?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± This was what Zhao Hai ¡®er had expected. No matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice. However, after Qiao Feng said that, Liu Yun was not satisfied. She frowned and said, ¡°Child¡¯s father, this is fifty thousand Yuan ...¡± Before Liu Yun could finish her sentence, the Furious Qiao Feng interrupted her and red at her.¡±¡±You shut up, don¡¯t even think about it now!¡± It was the crucial moment for Zhao Hai ¡®er to reveal the password of her bank ount, but Liu Yun kept on causing trouble. Qiao Feng already couldn¡¯t take it anymore, and seeing that she didn¡¯t stop, he was even more furious. ¡°I ... I won¡¯t say anymore.¡± Liu Yun was startled by the fierce look in his eyes. She didn¡¯t dare to say anything and even took a step back. The scene of Qiao Feng beating someone up was still vivid in her mind. Liu Yun did not want to be the one who was beaten up. After dealing with Liu Yun, Qiao Feng turned to Zhao Hai ¡®er and said,¡±¡±That 50000 Yuan is yours. We want 300000 Yuan now to pay off Xiao Lei¡¯s debt. If you think this condition is okay, then tell us the bank card password now, and we¡¯ll go withdraw the money. ¡± ¡°Now? You¡¯re not bringing me?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er threw out these two questions for her own benefit. She furrowed her brows. It was not impossible to withdraw the money now, but if he did not bring her along ... It was really unknown if he could get thest 50000 Yuan. Qiao Feng seemed to know what Zhao Hai ¡®er was thinking, and he said angrily,¡±¡±Okay, then transfer 300000 Yuan to my bank card with your mobile phone, okay?¡± Mobile Transfer was a feasible method. Zhao Hai ¡®er thought for a moment. It was good that she could still get her phone. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s do that.¡± After that, Qiao Feng took Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s phone. The battery was only at 30%. They hadn¡¯t charged their phones for the past few days. After Zhao Hai ¡®er unlocked her phone, she scanned through the messages on the screen. Indeed, there were a few messages from Qian Yu. However, Qiao Feng and the others were just beside her, so she couldn¡¯t watch. She clicked into the bank app and started to transfer the money. ¡°Didi, 300000 Yuan has been transferred to your bank card!¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s phone suddenly rang. His eyes lit up and he quickly took a look at his phone. Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Getting together with President Zheng

As expected, 300000 Yuan had been transferred to his bank card. Seeing the bnce in the bank card, Qiao Feng was finally satisfied. He did not bother with Zhao Hai ¡®er anymore and said casually,¡±¡±If you want to eat something, go find it yourself.¡± With that, he left the room. Qiao Lei showed off to Zhao Hai ¡®er with a smug expression and left the room with Qiao Feng. Liu Yun was the only one who was unwilling to leave. She seemed to have something to say. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression was ugly as she watched the two of them leave. She put her phone back into her pocket with hatred. ¡°Hai ¡®er ...¡± Liu Yun¡¯s mouth moved as she called out to Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t even bother to look at her and picked up her bag. Before he left, he looked at Liu Yun and said,¡±I haven¡¯t eaten for a few days, so I¡¯m going to eat now. Mom, you¡¯re not going to stop me from eating, are you?¡± It sounded like she was afraid of Liu Yun, but in reality, the look in her eyes made Liu Yun feel a little afraid. After starving for so many days, Zhao Hai ¡®er felt like she was on the verge of death several times. Luckily, she managed to survive. ...... ¡°No, no, you can go.¡± Liu Yun shook her head. Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was still weak, did not want to be tormented anymore. She changed into a set of clothes and left the house. She had to hide the remaining fifty thousand Yuan! That was Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s thought. If she continued to keep it, she might end up in the same situation. Zhao Hai ¡®er wanted to escape, but there were too many expensive things in the room. She was starving, so she couldn¡¯t take them away. Furthermore, Liu Yun was still in the room. Hence, Zhao Hai ¡®er decided to have a meal first before thinking of a way to escape from the Qiao family. This ce was filled with demons. ¡­¡­¡­ Qiao sisi did not know what had happened to the Qiao family. She only knew that Zhao Hai ¡®er had been locked up by Qiao Feng and the others. He didn¡¯t really care about this. Melodious music yed in the cafe, creating a beautiful atmosphere and a faint fragrance. LAN Tian told joesse his request, which was actually very simple. He smiled and said,¡±I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any problem with this news at the moment. After all, everyone in the industry knows about the Jiang Corporation.¡± However, there are some ces that I still have to investigate myself. This is the process, I hope miss Qiao doesn¡¯t mind. ¡± ¡°I won ¡®t,¡± Joes smiled and shook her head. She knew what LAN Tian meant. He needed some time to verify the authenticity of the news. After confirmation, the article could be released. The most important thing about news was its authenticity. It was understandable. If the news was fake, then it would be blue sky destroying his own reputation. Even though there was no need for Joes to do such a thing with her identity, she could not skip this process. ¡°May I know how long it will take for editor blue sky?¡± joesse asked. LAN Tian thought for a moment and said,¡±If everything goes well, just give me a day¡¯s time. I¡¯ll give you an answer tomorrow. How about it?¡± His gaze fell on Joes. A day¡¯s time was already very fast for LAN Tian. He still had to write a manuscript after that. This was a sign of sincerity. After all, it was not every day that such explosive news from joesse could be found. If LAN Tian could not satisfy her, even if she turned to another editor, LAN Tian would not be able to find any fault. Thus, LAN Tian gave him the fastest time he could. Joes could tell what he was thinking, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Her smile had a deeper meaning as she nodded and said,¡±¡±Okay, one day it is. I hope we can work well together.¡± After saying that, she stood up. LAN Tian also stood up and shook hands with Joss. He smiled and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, it¡¯s a pleasure working with you.¡± After exchanging greetings, Jossi left the caf¨¦. She did not take the USB drive with her. He could just give it to LAN Tian. It wasn¡¯t anything particrly important, and he could also check it with what he had found. Joes walked on the streets, her mind filled with thoughts. One day ... In just one day, Jianghai city would receive its retribution. There would be no need for his Jiang Corporation to continue operating. Other than Jianghai, there were other greedy people in the Jiang Corporation who might have taken a lot of money from them. After all, even the president was useless, let alone the people working under him. Naturally, there would not be many good people. It was better for such a corruptedpany to close down as soon as possible. ¡°Ha ...¡± Joes sneered and returned to thepany five minutester. Just as she was getting back to work, she received a call from Chen zuolin. Speaking of which, the two of them had not seen each other for a while. Joes looked at the name disyed on the phone page and raised her eyebrows slightly. Without hesitation, she picked up the call.¡±Hello? Big brother Chen?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me. ¡± A deep voice rang out from the other end of the phone. It was the voice that Jossi was familiar with. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little emotional. In terms of voice, Chen zuolin¡¯s voice was indeed unrivaled, and only Zheng Zeyi could bepared to him. After sighing, Jossi went straight to the main topic.¡±Brother Chen, why did you call me all of a sudden? is there something wrong?¡± His tone carried a hint of doubt. Through the screen, joesse could not see the bitter smile on Chen zuolin¡¯s face. It was as if the feeling of unfamiliarity had returned. It was as if nothing had happened, and the two of them could not call and chatter. That¡¯s right, Jossi already has a boyfriend, how could she cause a misunderstanding? Chen zuolin clearly understood this, but he still couldn¡¯t control the pain in his heart. He suppressed his emotions and tried his best to make his voice sound calmer,¡±Sisi, I actually want to ask you something.¡± ¡°One thing?¡± Joes asked in confusion, but she did not know what Chen zuolin wanted to ask, so she replied readily,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Chen zuolin took a deep breath and asked,¡±Sisi, are you ... With President Zheng?¡± After asking this, he looked a little nervous. The phone fell into a brief silence. Joes did not expect Chen zuolin to suddenly ask this question. Although she was puzzled, she quickly answered,¡±¡±Big brother Chen, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m indeed together with him. I seem to have mentioned this in the kindness Association. ¡± That day, Qiao si si and Zheng ze went on stage together. Not only did they donate, but they also announced the fact that they were together. Chapter 488

Chapter 488: I¡¯m worried about how manager li is doing things

Chen zuolin¡¯s heart sank when he received the answer from Joes. It was not as heavy as he had imagined. It was much easier. He sighed, then smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m just asking, don¡¯t mind me. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, big brother Chen. It¡¯s nothing. ¡± Joes said nonchntly, looking very forthright. As joesse¡¯s pretty face appeared in his memory, Chen zuolin lost his focus for a moment and only reacted after a long time. He nced at the phone page. Although the call was still connected, there was no sound at all. Chen zuolin picked up the phone and took a look. He finally chose to ept this fact and said in a low voice,¡±Sisi, I still have something to do here, so I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. The reason why I¡¯m asking this is because I couldn¡¯t believe it when I heard it thest time. After all, we¡¯re friends, right?¡± Chen zuolin became more and more nervous as he spoke. ¡°Of course we¡¯re friends!¡± After hearing Joss¡¯s unhesitating words, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down. Even though he could not be together with joesse, he was considered lucky to be able to interact with her as a friend. Chen zuolin forced a smile and hung up the phone first. ...... Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Jossi raised her eyebrows and put the phone aside. ¡°Big brother Chen, are you really just curious?¡± Her heart was still filled with some doubts, but the phone had already been hung up, so she could only suppress her doubts at the bottom of her heart. For the next few hours, joesse had been seriously handling thepany¡¯s Affairs, which was the list of people she could work with. It was not until it was almost time to get off work that she finally finished sorting out the list. ¡°Di di.¡± Joes pressed a button next to the office, and not long after, Miley, who had been working outside, walked in. ¡°President, do you have any orders?¡± she asked, puzzled. Jossi put the list of names into a folder and ced it on the table. She said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already prepared the list of our partners. Those marked in green can take the initiative to find people to cooperate with, and you can call thosepany bosses and ask for their intentions. ¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Millie noted this down and nodded slightly. Joes also exined the rest of the situation to Millie. The documents marked in red were allpanies that refused to cooperate. Even if they came to ask for cooperation, he would reject them directly. As for the rest ... He could see the situation. ¡°Understood, President.¡± After Millie understood, Jossi smiled and rubbed her sore shoulders. She then got up with her bag. ¡°We¡¯ll do this tomorrow morning,¡± she said to Millie.¡±It¡¯s time to get off work. Let¡¯s go home first.¡± Millie was a little hesitant at first, thinking that she could work overtime since she had nothing to do today. However, when she saw the look in Joes ¡®eyes, she suppressed her thoughts. ¡°Alright, President. See you tomorrow.¡± ¡°See you tomorrow,¡± After greeting them, Qiao si left Xing Yuan design with her things and happened to bump into manager li who wasing down with a few workers. Joes raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile,¡±¡±Manager li, the renovation upstairs won¡¯t take long, right?¡± It had been a few days since the charity event, and the renovations were basically done. After hearing what joesse said, manager li adjusted his sses and smiled,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao. You¡¯ve given us so much convenience, so of course, we¡¯ll do our best. If nothing goes wrong, the renovation will bepleted by tomorrow. By then, it will be empty for a few days before we can move it up. ¡± Efficiency! If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the situation wasn¡¯t right, Joes would have given them a thumbs up. It was already surprising that such a long project could be shortened to this time. Joes did not have any other requests, so she smiled and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll be waiting for you guys. Once the renovation ispleted, I¡¯ll give everyone a big red packet!¡± A big red packet! The short three words instantly attracted the attention of the other workers in the elevator. These workers were doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and their sries were rtively low. However, this job with Joes was the best treatment they had received in all their years of renovation. Thepany¡¯s canteen would take care of all the meals every day. The dishes were very exquisite and delicious. Sometimes, he could even get a lot of overtime pay. Hence, these workers had a very good impression of Joes. Since she was in the elevator, they looked at each other and came to a consensus. The workers all turned to Jossi and thanked her.¡±¡±President Qiao, thank you so much for being so good to us.¡± An unusually uniform sound was heard. Not only was Joes stunned, but even manager li was also stunned and revealed a helpless smile. However, he could understand the workers ¡®feelings. Joes was indeed very kind to them, and he had nothing to say about that. Joes blinked her eyes. Seeing such a huge crowd, she quickly waved her hands and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be like this, we¡¯re just taking what we need. It¡¯s normal for me to give you red packets if you do a good job. Besides, you¡¯re all very capable. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes revealed a sweet smile. The workers looked at each other and nodded, but the gratitude in their hearts grew stronger. The atmosphere in the elevator seemed to have changed. Joes rubbed her nose and hurriedly walked out when the elevator reached the first floor. Just as she was about to leave, manager li called out to her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Joes asked. Manager li handed a document to joesse and said,¡±¡±This is the drawing of the upper floors. President Qiao, you can take a look.¡± Previously, when Joes went up to inspect, she had actually seen the blueprint. However, it had not been perfected at that time. There were still many ws in the details, but after so many days, manager li had already resolved them. Not only was it fast, but it was also of high quality. It was no wonder that manager li could be called the chief designer of that constructionpany. He really deserved it. Joes¡¯s lips curled up as she took the document and smiled.¡±¡±I¡¯m very worried about how manager li does things, so I¡¯ve roughly browsed through it before. There¡¯s basically no problem. I¡¯ll find time to go up and take a look tomorrow, how about it?¡± ¡°Of course you can.¡± Manager li nodded his head. After that, the two of them chatted for a while before Joes went to the underground parking lot and drove back to blue sky Apartment. This time, they encountered the same situation as in the morning. However, these people were even crazier. There were even other people who drove luxury cars and sped up to joesse¡¯s side. Chapter 489

Chapter 489: I just want to hug you

And then ... He whistled at her. Even Joes was stunned. In the end, she slowed down and after shaking off this group of people, she took a detour back to the apartment. She rubbed her brows and threw her car keys into her bag. He was just driving a new car every day, but he always encountered such situations. It was really helpless. Joesse decided toin about this situation to Zheng Zeyi. She nced at the sky and saw that it was already getting dark. A bright moon was hanging on the horizon, emitting a faint light and scattering on the ground. ¡°The weather is great.¡± Joesughed and sighed. She carried her bag and walked up to the blue sky Apartment. She passed by the front desk and saw little red. However, she was already preparing to get off work and was packing her things. Upon seeing this, Joes greeted him,¡±¡±Little red, good evening.¡± Upon hearing her familiar voice, Xiaohong¡¯s hand froze and he shivered in fear. Her movements weren¡¯t big, but as long as one focused on her, they would notice this. Xiao Hong forced herself to calm down and put her bag aside. She turned around and revealed an ugly smile.¡±Oh, it¡¯s miss Qiao. Good evening.¡± ...... Joes noticed all of her abnormal behavior. What was going on? Joes could not help but frown slightly, feeling that something was off. ¡°Xiao Hong, are you feeling unwell?¡± she asked after clearing her throat. ¡°No!¡± Little red replied quickly, afraid that Jossi would misunderstand something. Little did she know that her actions were even more suspicious. As if sensing this, Xiao Hong was very embarrassed. She smiled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just ... I have some family matters to attend to. I might have to resign for a while.¡± ¡°Resign?¡± Upon hearing this news, Joes was indeed shocked. She didn¡¯t expect that Xiaohong would suddenly want to resign. Even though Jossi had not stayed at blue sky Apartment for long, she still had a strong impression of this polite receptionist. Her favorability towards him wasn¡¯t too bad either. At least she knew what to do at the right time and her attitude towards others was pretty good. Jossi was not used to the sudden departure. She pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±Xiao Hong, did something happen at home that you suddenly want to resign? Do you need help? If you need it, you can find me at any time. ¡± As long as it was within her capabilities, Joes would help. In the next moment, little red shook her head and rejected Joes ¡®suggestion. There was even a look of guilt in her eyes. She opened her mouth and said,¡±it¡¯s fine. Miss Qiao, don¡¯t think too much. I¡¯m leaving because I¡¯m moving.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ...¡± Jossi was enlightened. No matter what, she put on a look of trust on the surface, but only she knew what she was thinking in her heart. After chatting with little red for a while, joesse did not waste any time and took the elevator up to her floor. When the elevator doors were about to close, she nced at Xiaohong, who was still packing at the front desk. ¡°Ka ...¡± The elevator door closed quickly. Joris retracted her gaze and followed the elevator to the floor of her apartment. . As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zheng Zeyi sitting on the sofa. ¡°This ...¡± Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. Although she felt a little helpless, she did not say anything. After changing into her slippers, she walked over. However, the sound of her opening the door caught Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attention. He turned his head, and after seeing Joes, he stood up from the sofa and picked up a gift bag on the table. Joes could not help but feel curious and asked,¡±¡±What is this?¡± To be honest, ever since Zheng Zeyi had used the key to enter her house, she had already expected this to happen. However, their rtionship had progressed so quickly that she didn¡¯t particrly mind. Upon hearing that, Zheng Zeyi ced the gift bag in front of joesse and smiled.¡±¡±My grandfather gave it to you.¡± ¡°Grandpa Zheng?¡± Joes was even more surprised. After opening the gift bag, she saw that it was filled to the brim with local specialties. This should be ... Yunqi¡¯s specialty. Joes could tell at a nce that she had gone on a business trip to Yunqi before due to work reasons. Although he didn¡¯t bring anything back, at least he had strolled around the streets for a long time and knew what Yunqi¡¯s specialty was. Joes closed the bag and asked,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng went to Yunqi?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled.¡±We¡¯re not just going to Yunqi. We¡¯re going to a small town as well. It¡¯s the town where you guys filmed your show a year ago.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes was even more shocked. She could guess that Grandpa Zheng was probably there for grandma Chen or Grandpa Qin. Jossi did not know what had happened in their previous generation, and she would not rashly inquire about it. It would be very impolite. She kept the bag and smiled sweetly.¡±¡±Then help me thank Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯ll cook for him personally next time to thank him.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to say it.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s smile became even more doting as he reached out to ruffle joesse¡¯s hair and said,¡±¡±The old man will be back in a few days. If you want to thank him, go and tell him yourself. Don¡¯t make me tell him. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. That¡¯s not sincere. Let me know when the timees. I¡¯ll go to the Zheng family to look for Grandpa Zheng.¡± Joes nodded. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After agreeing, joesse solemnly ced the gift bag back into the room and kept it in a cab. They were all Yunqi¡¯s specialties and snacks that girls loved to eat. Joesse had also nned to buy some, but she had to return to thepany first because she did not have the time, so she gave up on the idea. After that, she had originally nned to find an opportunity to continue visiting Yunqi. In the end, it all happened too suddenly, and so many things happened at once. Joes had also left the country. Looking back, it had actually been a year. One had to admit that time really passed by quickly. Joes was stillmenting in her heart when a certain someone quietly walked up behind her and gently wrapped his arm around her waist. Sensing the movements of the person behind her, joesse¡¯s lips curled up as she asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zheng Zeyi buried his head in her neck and saidzily,¡±¡±I just want to hug you.¡± ¡°I see ...¡± There was a deeper meaning to Joes ¡®words. She recalled the time when she was locked up in the abandoned factory a few days ago and almost died in the fire. She could still vaguely remember what Qiao sisi was thinking back then. If she had the chance, she would definitely get engaged to Zheng Zeyi. That¡¯s right, engagement. The more she thought about it, the more determined her gaze became. However, she did not say it out loud immediately. Chapter 490 - I’m at ease with you handling things

Chapter 490: I¡¯m at ease with you handling things

It was a little embarrassing to let a girl do this kind of thing. Joes cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment and said,¡±¡±Ahem, Zeyi, I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s maic voice rang in her ears. As he breathed, his hot breath blew onto Qiao si SI¡¯s neck, making it slightly itchy. Qiao si struggled for a while, but when she realized that she could not get out of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s embrace, she gave up. Her ears were slightly red, and she said with some embarrassment,¡±¡±I want to talk to you about the engagement.¡± ¡°Engagement ... You mean, engagement?¡± Behind her, what joesse did not see was that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this. Even his arms around her waist tightened. Joes nodded.¡±That¡¯s right. It¡¯s just a thought. I haven¡¯t decided on the time yet.¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing, I can even do it tomorrow!¡± When she heard the change in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice, joesse was suspicious. She turned around and met his burning gaze. At the mention of engagement, Zheng Zeyi seemed to have changed into a different person. In fact, Zheng Zeyi had been waiting for Joes¡¯s agreement all this while. He had also been looking for an opportunity to ask about this. ...... However, he had never found an opportunity. However, what Zheng ze did not expect was for Qiao si si to actually bring up the engagement today. How could he not be surprised? ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. ¡± Upon seeing this, Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. However, Zheng Zeyi had ignored her words. He curled his lips and gave her a naughty smile. He moved closer to Joes¡¯s ear and whispered,¡±¡±Since we¡¯re engaged, you¡¯re officially my fianc¨¦e. How can I not be excited?¡± ¡°Uh ...¡± Just as Qiao Si was at a loss for words, Zheng ze raised his brows and turned her around to face him. The next moment, a gentle kiss fell on her lips. This time, Qiao sisi was no longer passive. She blinked her eyes and stared into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep eyes. It was like a Whirlpool, pulling her in bit by bit, making her fall into it. The two of them kissed for a while, and the entire room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. As they kissed, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s movements began to be restless. Sensing his actions, joesse chose toply despite feeling helpless. A whimpering sound ineffably agitated Zheng Zeyi, causing him to move even faster. He carried Qiao si to the bed. It was another night of passion. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Sisi, do you want breakfast?¡± Zheng ze, who was full, was refreshed and went to Jossi like a puppy. Joes smiled helplessly and thought for a while before saying,¡±¡±Then I¡¯m going to buy some buns. Go down and buy them for me.¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression turned serious. After hearing what joesse said, he grabbed a coat and put it on before going out. Joesse nced at the ground. Zheng Zeyi had already tidied up the clothes that had been thrown on the ground yesterday. ¡°You¡¯re really diligent. ¡± Joes could not help but smile. Just as she was about to get dressed, she received a call from blue sky. Seeing the caller ID on the page, she raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the editor had confirmed the authenticity of the news. From yesterday until now, only half a day had passed. He was really efficient. Joss picked up the phone without hesitation and said,¡±¡±Editor LAN Tian, you¡¯re calling me about yesterday¡¯s incident, right?¡± LAN Tian was slightly stunned on the other end of the phone. He nodded and smiled.¡±¡±President Qiao is right. It happened yesterday. I¡¯ve checked, and all the documents you gave me are real. I can confirm their authenticity now. I¡¯ve also talked to my boss. This piece of news is of great importance, so I¡¯ll have to spend a few hours writing a draft. It¡¯ll be released in the afternoon. What do you think, President Qiao?¡± LAN Tian had specially fought for this time with his superior. After all, all of this evidence was provided by Joes, so she had every reason to let other editors do it. Now that he had given it to LAN Tian, he wanted to do a good job. Knowing that this person wanted Jianghai city to be in trouble as soon as possible, LAN Tian had to put in more effort. Just by thinking about it, one could understand the twists and turns. Joesse had a pensive look on her face as she nced at her phone screen and revealed a faint smile.¡±¡±Editor LAN Tian has fought so hard for me, so of course there¡¯s no problem.¡± ¡°President Qiao, you don¡¯t have to worry about the promotion. Just leave it to us. We¡¯ll definitely make you satisfied.¡± LAN Tian promised. LAN Tian was very confident about this. The news agency he was in was the most influential in the industry. Moreover, Jianghai¡¯s news was highly sensitive. If it could not be published, there was absolutely no room for change. Furthermore, many of the big shots in city h were involved, and all of them were going to fall into the hands of Jossi. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m assured with you handling it.¡± Hearing Joes ¡®straightforward words, LAN Tianughed,¡±¡±President Qiao, you¡¯re really straightforward. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. I¡¯ll go and write the press release.¡± Even if he were to start writing now, he would still need to spend a lot of time modifying it. In joesse¡¯s eyes, it was simr to a design draft, so she quickly understood. ¡°Alright, see you next time.¡± ¡°See you next time, President Qiao.¡± After greeting her, Jossi hung up the phone and kept it. She curled her lips. In a few hours, when that incident was exposed, Jianghai would probably be unable to survive in this industry. Other than that, the documents also involved other people. In order to ensure their own safety, they would not allow Jiang hai to say anything. Therefore, going to prison was the best option. After a few minutes, after Qiao sisi had changed her clothes, Zheng Zeyi returned with the breakfast that he had bought. Although the breakfast he bought was simple, it was very sumptuous. From far away, Jossi could smell the fragrance of food, and her appetite was hooked. ¡°What did you buy?¡± Joesse peeked into the kitchen and saw Zheng Zeyi taking out the items from the bag. Other than steamed buns, there was also congee with pork and century egg, wontons, and so on. The degree of sumptuousness made even Joes gasp in amazement, and the corners of her mouth could not help but Twitch. Chapter 491

Chapter 491: It¡¯s time to teach him a lesson

¡°Zeyi, can you finish all this food?¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his brows and smiled when he heard Qiao sisi¡¯s question.¡±¡±I think it¡¯s possible.¡± The truth was, with joesse¡¯s appetite, there was basically no problem. However, Zheng Zeyi was not stupid enough to say this out loud. He was not that stupid to give up on this topic. ¡°Then let¡¯s try.¡± Joes was feeling a little hungry, so she sat down and picked up the spoon to eat the congee with preserved egg and lean meat. She ate the fragrant porridge, and the smile on her face became brighter. When Zheng ze, who was sitting opposite them, saw this, he curled his lips and started a topic. ¡°By the way ... Sisi, what were you thinking about when you said you were getting engaged yesterday?¡± Zheng Zeyi was very concerned about this matter. He stirred the congee with pork and century egg in his bowl with the spoon in his hand, but he was actually staring at joesse, who was eating the congee, from the corner of his eye. The engagement was a very serious matter, so he naturally couldn¡¯t be sloppy. He didn¡¯t want to just talk about it and not set a date. Zheng Zeyi could only heave a sigh of relief when the date was set. No one would believe that the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group was so capable and handsome. ...... However, he was afraid that this girl would run away. They could only be tied together after they were truly engaged. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si did not think too much about it. She put down the spoon in her hand and pretended to think. She blinked her eyes and said,¡±this matter isn¡¯t clear yet. Why don¡¯t we wait for Grandpa Zheng toe back and discuss a date?¡± After all, it¡¯s an engagement, so we can¡¯t be too hasty, right?¡± ¡°Right!¡± Zheng Zeyi immediately nodded in agreement. However, he was still a little dissatisfied and said,¡±¡±If you don ¡®t, then you don¡¯t have to wait for my grandfather toe back. A phone call will do.¡± It would take at least a few days for old master Zheng to return to city H. He couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Jossi frowned and rejected,¡±¡±No, Grandpa Zheng has to get involved in this as well. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be showing any sincerity at all.¡± Seeing the determination on his wife¡¯s face, Zheng Zeyi also understood that there was probably no room for change. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll talk about it when my grandfatheres back,¡± he agreed. ¡°Alright!¡± Joes revealed a smile. What she did not know was that Zheng Zeyi had specially contacted old master Zheng in order to set the engagement date earlier. In other words, he was hoping that old master Zheng would return to city h as soon as possible. Otherwise, the engagement would be dyed. Old master Zheng also understood the ¡°seriousness¡± of the matter and quickly decided to return to city h in advance for the sake of the engagement. However, this was a story for the future. After Joes finished her breakfast, she touched her slightly bloated stomach and nced at the dining table. Only then did she realize that the sumptuous breakfast was almost gone. The corner of her mouth twitched, feeling as if she had been pped in the face! ¡°What¡¯s going on? You just said you can¡¯t finish it, but now you¡¯ve finished it all by yourself. What the hell is this?¡± Joes was roaring in her heart, but in order not to let Zheng ze notice anything unusual, she could only pretend to be very calm. She swallowed her saliva and pressed her fist against her red lips to hide her embarrassment. Speaking of which, it was indeed a little strange. Joes felt that her appetite had improved a lot over the past few days, or rather, it had started a while ago. It was just that she rarely noticed this. Today, when Joes saw that the breakfast on the table was almost finished, she truly felt it. ¡°Cough cough ...¡± The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She fanned herself with her hands and stood up, saying,¡±¡±It¡¯s gettingte. I should go to thepany now. We just settled the business partners yesterday, so I might have to meet with the bosses of a few otherpanies today. ¡± Her words sessfully made Zheng zeugh. This little wife of his was really getting cuter and cuter. With the intention to escape, joesse grabbed her bag and left the blue sky Apartment in a hurry under Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smiling gaze. It wasn¡¯t until they entered the elevator that the heat in their bodies eased a little. The heat on their blushing faces had also disappeared. ¡°It¡¯s really strange. Why is my appetite getting better and better?¡± Joes smacked her head in frustration. When the elevator reached the lobby on the first floor, she walked out. As expected, Xiao Hong had left after packing up yesterday and was no longer working here. It felt a little strange. Joes furrowed her brows slightly. Even though she still had some doubts about this matter, she did not have little Red¡¯s contact information. It seemed that she had something that was difficult to say, so it was better not to ask. With this thought in mind, joesse left the blue sky Apartment. ¡­¡­¡­ Upstairs. Zheng Zeyi was sitting on the sofa, leaning against the soft pillow, holding a ck phone in his hand. ¡°Have you done what I asked you to do?¡± Hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s indifferent voice, the subordinate on the other end of the phone said sternly,¡±¡±Young master Zheng, I¡¯vepleted your orders. He also warned that woman not to do such a thing again. ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s expression did not change as heughed coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t expose this matter yet. Let the people behind it be smug for a while.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± The subordinate nodded and said. After that, Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone and threw it aside. The coldness in his smile became even more apparent. The woman on the phone was Xiaohong, who had already left her job. As for why she had left so suddenly, it was because Zheng ze had already discovered Xiao Hong¡¯s identity. Xiao Hong had been bribed by Lin Xiu ¡®er and Zheng Zeyu, and it was only after a period of time that she hadpletely be one of their men. Her existence was to keep an eye on Jossi and Zheng Zeyi. However, she had given herself away too many times, so Zheng Zeyi had seen through her immediately and had investigated her. After the results of the investigation were out, Zheng Zeyi did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to remove Xiao Hong from her position. This was the blue sky Apartment, the Zheng family¡¯s territory. If outsiders dared to interfere, they would be courting death! Thinking of Lin Xiu ¡®er and Zheng Zeyu, as well as their recent restless looks, Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. ¡°It¡¯s time to teach him a lesson. ¡± His smile was evil and filled with determination. At that moment, Joes was driving to her shop and had no idea what had happened in her house. Even if she knew, she would not have any opinion about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions, because they were protecting themselves. Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Don¡¯t look at these things

There was a traffic jam on the road today, and it took about half an hour before joesse sessfully opened the star dor shop. From the outside, one could see the lively scene in the shop, which showed that business was still very good. Joes could not help but smile. Her efforts were not in vain. Although business wasn¡¯t as good as it was on the first day, it was already several times more than the other jewelry stores. Every day, Li Chang would report the daily sales to Joes, and the results were all in a good position. The shop was also one of Jossi¡¯s painstaking efforts. She was naturally happy that it had developed to its current state. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯re here!¡± After entering the shop, joesse saw Lin ya waving at her from not far away. She was not the only one; even Wang Li was pulled over and was standing helplessly at the side. This was a special privilege that Joes had given them. As a founding member of thepany and a designer, she had given special permission for the two of them to travel between thepany and the store. Of course ... The frequency could not be too high. Thepany still needed a designer to take charge. After all, this was their job. Joes walked to the two of them and said with a smile,¡±¡±You two came earlier than me.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± ...... Lin ya¡¯s tone was a little proud as she smiled.¡±¡±I got up very early. If it wasn¡¯t for Lili¡¯s slow speed, I might have been the first one to arrive.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes¡¯s gaze fell on Li Chang. First, she knew that Lin ya hade to the shop so enthusiastically because she wanted to pursue Li Chang. Second, Li Chang was the manager of this store. When the store opened, he was usually the first to arrive. Sensing Joes¡¯s gaze, Li Chang shrugged and said,¡±¡±President Qiao, don¡¯t look at me like that. I don¡¯t know. But since miss Lin made such a solemn vow, it should be true. ¡± After saying that, he revealed a smile that was as gentle as Jade. When she caught a glimpse of that smile, Lin ya felt as if her heart was about to be captured, and her heart was thumping. She hurriedly looked away and lowered her head to hide her abnormality. She didn¡¯t want Li Chang to find out. It would be embarrassing. However, Li Chang did not notice it, but Qiao si and Wang Li did. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. ¡°President Qiao, I¡¯ll be off then.¡± Li Chang looked at the time. It was gettingte, and there were still many things to do. The store had just opened for business. As the manager, he had to deal with many things every day, including problems with the employees. In the past few days, many problems that had not appeared at the beginning were slowly bing obvious. These were all things that Li Chang had to solve. Although it was troublesome, it was still very challenging. Jossi gave an ¡®ok¡¯ hand sign, indicating that there was no problem at all.¡±Alright, then you can go.¡± Then, Li Chang went to the front desk to deal with the twoputers. Lin ya kept staring at Li Chang¡¯s back until he arrived at the front desk. She then reluctantly looked away. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, little ya? are you unable to extricate yourself?¡± Joes patted Lin ya¡¯s shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of teasing. New novels chapters are published ?n ! Lin yaughed instead of getting angry. She touched her nose in embarrassment and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Is your stomach that obvious?¡° ¡°It¡¯s very obvious!¡± At this time, Wang Li, who was watching the battle from the side, also came over and expressed what she had been wanting to say. It was really obvious ... That she felt a little embarrassed for Lin ya. However, Li Chang didn¡¯t seem to know much about love, so it was unknown whether he had noticed Lin ya¡¯s thoughts or not. Lin ya became even more nervous and swallowed her saliva.¡±¡±Then what should we do? If store manager li finds out, will she be uninterested in me?¡± At this point, her expression changed.¡±It¡¯s very possible. She knew that someone liked her, but she still tried to keep a distance from him.¡± That means he doesn¡¯t like her. Is my love going to disappear just after the first sign?¡± Lin ya clutched her chest, feeling exhausted. Jossi and Wang Li could not understand her self-imaginative behavior. Li Chang was gentle and warm to everyone, and he didn¡¯t have the alienation that Lin ya mentioned. ¡°Alright, Xiao Ya, don¡¯t worry about this matter. Can¡¯t you just do your best? There are so many guests here, let¡¯s go help!¡± Joes ordered. There were more and more customers in the store, and the rest of the shop assistants were a little too busy. Hearing this, Lin ya felt that it wasn¡¯t unreasonable. She was relieved that she had tried her best, but the final result still depended on Li Chang. Rtionships ... Were never a matter of one person. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go help.¡± After temporarily suppressing this matter in their hearts, the three of them transformed into shop guides and began to receive those who entered the shop and were interested in buying jewelry. Joes received an olddy and her daughter-inw with a smile on her face. Both of them were picking out jewelry. The two of them had different tastes. One of them was picking out jewelry like gold nes, while the other preferred diamonds. ¡°Mom, I think this ne looks really good.¡± The woman gasped in admiration. Looking at the perfect diamond ne in the ss cab, she couldn¡¯t help but imagine herself wearing it. To every woman, having a diamond should be a very happy thing, and she was no exception. Joesse raised her brows slightly and took a few steps closer to her. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Miss, you like this ne?¡± The woman was stunned by the sudden voice. It took her a long time to react. She quickly waved her hand and said,¡±¡±No, no, I¡¯m just taking a look.¡± Jossi nodded her head at her slightly uneasy expression and smiled.¡±¡±Alright, miss can take a look.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. The woman said, her face slightly red. The olddy also put down the gold ne she was looking at and walked to the woman. When she saw the diamond ne the woman mentioned, a trace of disdain shed in the old woman¡¯s eyes. Her eyes were even more disdainful as she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just a broken stone, what¡¯s there to see. Look at those gold nes I¡¯ve been looking at, how pretty are they? Don¡¯t look at these things,e with me. ¡± ¡°But, granny ...¡± The woman was a little hesitant. She was also not satisfied that the thing she liked was being insulted like this. However, when she thought of her mother-inw¡¯s sharp style, she didn¡¯t dare to resist and was pulled to the side of the gold ne. The olddy obviously still thought that pure gold was better. She looked at the various gold nes and gold bracelets in the ss cab, and her eyes seemed to be glowing. If not for the ss blocking her view, Jossi felt that she would have reached out to take it or even put it on. Chapter 493

Chapter 493: I¡¯m enough here

¡°See this? this is the real good stuff!¡± The old woman acted as if she knew a lot and was quite proud of herself. She was extremely dissatisfied with her daughter-inw. She nced at the woman and said,¡±don¡¯t embarrass yourself with that broken stone you have your eyes on, understand?¡± ¡°Granny, those are diamonds!¡± The woman exined nervously, holding a corner of her clothes tightly. She felt a little embarrassed and couldn¡¯t help but look around. As expected, because the old woman¡¯s voice was really a little too loud, it attracted the attention of many people nearby. From the woman¡¯s point of view, the people they were whispering about were the two of them. In an instant, the woman was so embarrassed that she felt like she was going to be embarrassed again. Her face turned red and she took a step back. The old woman didn¡¯t pay attention to the situation around her.¡±¡±What diamond? we, the older generation, like gold nes! Where¡¯s the waiter? can I have one?¡± Upon hearing this shout, Joes stood at the side. The other sales assistants had customers to attend to, so she could only walk over. With a polite smile on her face, she asked,¡±¡±Customer, what do you need?¡± The olddy was very arrogant in front of the ¡®staff¡¯, Joris. She pointed at the gold ne in the ss cab and said,¡±¡±Let me take a look at this gold ne.¡± ...... At this point, she felt that she had overlooked something. She then nced at the ss cab and added,¡±¡±And this pair of gold earrings and gold bangle, let me see them.¡± ¡°Sure, no problem.¡± Joesse¡¯s smile was so wide that her face was almost frozen. However, she was allowed to take the essories out to look at them, but she had to be careful. She took out the key from her pocket, opened the ss cab, and took out three pieces of gold jewelry. All the gold jewelry was ced on top of the ss cab, and under the light, it emitted a dazzling light. However, to the old woman, this was the most beautiful piece of jewelry. She finally nodded in satisfaction and asked,¡±¡±How much are these pieces of jewelry?¡± As he spoke, he did not even look at Joes. The woman at the side was also afraid of her mother-inw and tried her best to lower her presence. Joes took a quick nce and then looked at the price tag in the ss cab. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Dear Customer, these jewelries have a clear price tag. This ne is 12999 Yuan and this gold bangle is 9900 Yuan ...¡± Before Joes could finish, the olddy could not help but interrupt, frowning as she said,¡±¡±So expensive?¡± Expensive? Joes¡¯s smile had a deeper meaning to it. The price was very fair, after all. In front of the guest, she finally smiled, but her voice was a little lighter.¡±¡±Dear Customer, these pieces of jewelry are very valuable. This price is already not considered expensive.¡± ¡± 20000 Yuan is not expensive!¡± The old woman¡¯s face was gloomy, and she looked very dissatisfied.¡±¡±I¡¯ll go to another shop to buy the same gold ne, and it only costs a few thousand Yuan. What ... Just because your shop is a little bigger, you can use this name to bully your customers? I won¡¯t be fooled!¡± New novels chapters are published ?n ! ¡°Granny, it¡¯s not like that.¡± The woman couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She wanted to exin that the things he bought were not good. However, the old woman flung her hand away and red at her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you pull me here, you¡¯re a disgrace!¡± Hearing that, the woman¡¯s face turned red from the humiliation. She stopped trying to persuade him and turned her head away in anger. This mother-inw of his was really a brainless person! As for the old woman, she was also scolding the woman in her heart. She had never seen such a stupid daughter-inw who couldn¡¯t even understand that she wanted to reduce the price. The olddy¡¯s actions immediately attracted the attention of the other customers around her, especially the part about the store being big and bullying customers. The surrounding people gradually gathered around, watching what was happening in the middle with great interest. As the center of everyone¡¯s attention, Joes¡¯s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, and she quickly put away the gold, silver, and jewelry. It would not be good if the old woman were to get angry and destroy the jewelry. After slowly putting the items back into the ss cab, Joes fixed her gaze on the puzzled olddy and smiled.¡±¡±Customer, please mind your words and actions.¡± ¡°How am I not paying attention to my words and actions? also, what do you mean by keeping your things? You¡¯re looking down on me! You think I can¡¯t afford it?¡± The olddy was so angry that she pointed at Joes with her finger. Looking at her wrinkled hands, Joes squinted her eyes slightly and the aura around her changed. ¡°These prices are all clearly marked,¡± she said coldly.¡±Those who have bought our jewelry know that the jewelry is worthy of these prices!¡± Speaking of this, many people around them nodded. They were all returning customers. The quality and design of the jewelry in Xing Yuan store were good, so they would naturally choose the jewelry here. After that, Jossi sneered,¡±¡±If you think that the gold ne you bought for a few thousand dors can be used as a gift, then we don¡¯t wee you here. Please get out.¡± In other words, he was talking about you, not you guys. Because this matter was started by the olddy and had nothing to do with her, joesse would not embarrass her. The moment these words came out, it could be considered to have poked a big hole. The old woman had a bad temper to begin with. When she saw that a mere shop assistant, an employee of the shop, actually dared to be so arrogant, her anger surged up all of a sudden. She mmed her palm on the ss cab. It let out a loud sound and red at Joes.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you just an employee? What right do you have to talk to me like this! Shouldn¡¯t you feel honored that I¡¯m buying things from your store to increase your sales?¡± ¡°PAH!¡± In the end, she made Joes spit on her. If she had not dodged quickly, she would have been sshed by the disgusting spit. Since the olddy was so insistent, Joes naturally could not stand it. She had done such an uncultured act in public. The rest of the passersby were also stunned and couldn¡¯t help but take a step back, looking at the old woman with contempt. This person was too uncultured! Seeing that everyone was retreating, the old woman couldn¡¯t help but be a little proud and sneered, ¡°You¡¯re just an employee. How dare you be so arrogant? call your store manager over. I want to talk to him!¡± ¡°Manager?¡± Joes¡¯s heart burned with anger, and her expression turned even colder. ¡°There¡¯s no need to call the manager. I¡¯m enough here. ¡± As the owner of this shop, she had the obligation to drive out such unreasonable customers. Chapter 494

Chapter 494: You ... You dare to call the police?

However, the olddy clearly did not know joesse¡¯s true identity. She snorted in disdain,¡±¡±Who Do You Think You Are to be able to make decisions?¡± ¡°If I say I can, I can!¡± Joes squinted her eyes slightly, her gaze extremely dangerous. She immediately took off the shop assistant¡¯s professional tag from her body. She ced the sign on the ss cab at the side and looked at the old woman with an ugly expression.¡±¡±I¡¯m the owner of this shop. If you need anything, just tell me. ¡± At the end of her sentence, her lips curled into a mocking smile. Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Only the customers who knew the truth were not too surprised, because they were also there when the incident happened in the storest time. Naturally, he saw the scene of Joes and Zhao Hai ¡®er fighting. But things were different now. Zhao Hai ¡®er was different from the olddy. One cared about her reputation. But the old woman was different. She cared more about the benefits she could get. ¡°Store manager?!¡± At this moment, a burst of exmations came from the opposite side. It was from the old woman. She had just been looking down on joesse, but in the end, she had turned into the unattainable store manager. How was that possible? ...... The old woman took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Her voice was trembling as she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t treat everyone like fools. Just by taking off your work tag, you think you¡¯re the boss. ¡± ¡°What are you saying? he¡¯s really the manager!¡± At this point, there was no need for Joes to personally refute the olddy¡¯s words. The rest of the passersby could do so. After the passerby finished speaking, another person nodded and echoed,¡±¡±Yes, olddy. He¡¯s the owner of this shop. He justes to help asionally. I saw the boss herest time and bought a ne. He even gave me a discount!¡± The passerby still had a smile on his face when he mentioned this. ¡°I also remember what happenedst time. It was this young boss. He¡¯s indeed young and promising.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. He¡¯s so young, but he already has such a big shop. Ordinary people might not even be able to get it even if they work hard for their entire lives.¡± The crowd was filled with emotional voices. Naturally, there were also people who felt that the old woman¡¯s actions were too much. They felt that she was going to be unlucky. She had actually offended the shop owner. ¡°Ha ... This olddy has good taste. She wanted to trick a shop assistant, so she directly went to the boss.¡± This person¡¯s gaze carried a bit of disdain. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± another man said.¡±It¡¯s not good for anyone to piss off the boss. What good things can you buy with a few thousand Yuan?¡± Gold nes were indeed not as expensive as this in some of the smaller shops. However, in terms of design and shape, it was definitely not as good as joesse¡¯s star dor shop, and the quality would not be as good. This was the difference! Listening to the constant chatter around her, the old woman was so angry that her head was about to smoke. Her hands by her side were trembling slightly. The woman behind him felt even more embarrassed. She covered her face and tried to escape. Oh my God, why did she go shopping with her mother-inw just to buy a ne for her? New novels chapters are published ?n ! In the end, this mother-inw of his was really good at causing trouble. She directly provoked the shop owner. What should he do? The woman was anxious, but the olddy was only filled with anger. Because of her preconceived thoughts, she was not as afraid after knowing that Jossi was the boss. Deep down, she did have some thoughts, but she had not realized them yet. ¡°You people are sucking up to the powerful! They¡¯re not good people, bah!¡± The olddy red at the surrounding passers-by, but just as she raised her finger, joesse stopped her. Joes pressed down on her hand and said coldly,¡±¡±Although you¡¯re old, don¡¯t take advantage of your age. It¡¯s very rude to point at others with your finger.¡± Finally, she sneered and let go of the old woman¡¯s hand.¡±¡±I¡¯m Telling You for the Last Time, go out by yourself. Don¡¯t make me call the security guards to take you out. Since you feel that the things here are not good, then there is no need to buy any more. In the future, you are not wee here!¡± Joes was swift and decisive, and in almost an instant, she had settled everything. She turned to look at Li Chang, who was watching the situation at the front desk, and said,¡±¡±Li Chang, record this down. Put this person on the cklist!¡± ¡°Okay, boss.¡± As Qiao si SI¡¯s employee, Li Chang naturally agreed very quickly, his fingers tapping on the keyboard. Within a short period of time, Joes had already settled everything, leaving the olddy speechless. She was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet, but she was already so old, and she still did such a childish action. She couldn¡¯t do it. He could only pretend to be so angry that he was about to faint and re at Joes.¡±¡±I only said that your ne was too expensive, and you want to chase me out?¡± Now that things hade to this, the olddy could only try her best to push all the me on joesse. She didn¡¯t really care about being cklisted, because she felt that she probably wouldn¡¯te to this shop a second time. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be like this ...¡± The woman held her forehead helplessly and stopped the old woman who wanted to continue arguing. She nodded apologetically at Joes,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, my mom wasn¡¯t very polite. ¡± Joes raised her brows slightly but did not say anything. The old woman was even angrier when she saw the woman change sides at thest minute. She ruthlessly flung her hand away and scolded,¡±¡±Who Do You Think You Are, don¡¯t cause trouble for me! I don¡¯t even know why my son would fall for you. You¡¯re just a woman who¡¯s a yes-man!¡± One insult after another came at her. The woman was stunned and didn¡¯t know what to do next. Joes furrowed her brows slightly, feeling rather displeased. This olddy had the air of an evil mother-inw. Now that she actually saw it, she naturally couldn¡¯t sit by and do nothing. ¡°Silence!¡± A delicate voice rang out, and the entire shop quieted down. Many pairs of eyes looked over. Joes¡¯s expression was cold as she said coldly,¡±¡±Let me give you a piece of advice. If you continue to cause trouble in my shop, I¡¯ll call the police.¡± ¡°Call the police?!¡± Hearing these two words, the surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air. However, they did not think that joesse had done anything wrong. After all, it was the olddy who had started the trouble. ¡°You ... You dare to call the police?¡± The olddy could not believe it. She was angry, but she did not dare to meet Joes¡¯s gaze. Upon hearing this, joesse forced a smile and waved the phone in her hand.¡±¡±Of course, if you don¡¯t believe me, I can call you now.¡± Chapter 495

Chapter 495: What do you want to do?

After saying that, Joes¡¯s fingernded on the screen. Just as she was about to tap on it, she heard a sharp cry. ¡°Don¡¯t hit me!¡± It was the olddy. When she was about to call the police, she panicked like Zhao Hai ¡®er. However, the nature of the incident was different. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s case could be considered as damaging other people¡¯s property. As for the olddy¡¯s words, it was only because she was unforgiving and unreasonable. At most, it would affect Joes ¡®business. Even if the police came, it would not be a big deal. The reason was that the older generation like the old woman was very afraid of hearing the word ¡°call the police.¡± It was a natural timidity. Joes shot a nce at the olddy. After looking away, she did not want to waste any more time with them and immediately ordered,¡±¡±Security, take this person out!¡± ¡°Yes! President Qiao!¡± Hearing her words, the security guards who were guarding the gate came over one after another. They moved quickly and took the old woman out. The old woman was terrified. She quickly took a few steps back and said,¡±¡±What are you guys doing? I can Sue you!¡± All the security guards raised their hands, and one of them said calmly,¡±¡±Olddy, we didn¡¯t do anything. ...... It¡¯s just that President Qiao wishes for you to leave this ce. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be polite. ¡± The meaning was very clear. If the old woman knew what was good for her, she would leave on her own ord. If she didn¡¯t leave, they would have to make a move and chase her away. ¡°You ... Shameless!¡± The olddy could only say this word helplessly after a long time. Joes¡¯s ruthless gaze was fixed on her, and it was truly frightening. Being stared at by that gaze was like being stared at by a ferocious beast, about to be devoured in the next moment. After so many years, this was the first time the old woman had seen such an imposing gaze, and she felt a bit of fear in her heart. ¡°I¡¯ll leave. You forced an olddy like me. You¡¯ll all die a horrible death!¡± Before she left, the old woman was still very unwilling to give up. She pointed her finger in a circle and finally snorted coldly before leaving the star Yuan shop with angry steps. It had to be said that even though she had left, she had left a deep impression on everyone. The most important thing was that the old woman only cared about leaving on her own and did not pay any attention to her daughter-inw, who was the woman beside her. After the old woman left, the woman sighed slightly and blushed slightly because she was a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to leave with the olddy, Joes suddenly walked up to her and stopped her with a smile. The woman was stunned and asked in confusion,¡±¡±Um ... Boss, is there anything else?¡± She was worried that the old woman had caused the consequences and had to deal with it herself, so she was a little nervous. However, joesse was not such a petty person. This matter had nothing to do with women. ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Joes shook her head slightly, but she revealed a smile and asked,¡±¡±I just wanted to ask you, is that your mother-inw?¡± The woman did not seem to have expected Joes to ask such a question. She blinked her eyes and chose to answer,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, she¡¯s my mother-inw. I¡¯m also very sorry for what she did. I¡¯ll apologize to you on her behalf. I¡¯m sorry. ¡± The woman¡¯s attitude was very sincere. After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply, and even joesse could not stop her in time. Joesse felt helpless and quickly helped her up, saying,¡±¡±Miss, you don¡¯t have to be so polite. I don¡¯t have any other intentions. I¡¯m just asking.¡± At this point, she paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±I¡¯m just being a busybody. Miss, your mother-inw doesn¡¯t seem to be very good to you.¡± The woman clutched the corner of her clothes and nodded in frustration.¡±¡±My mother-inw ... Doesn¡¯t really like me.¡± They had been living in this house for so many years, but they had always been like this. She also wanted to change, but this mother-inw despised her family background, so she had never been good to her. ¡°Why do you have to make her like you?¡± Joesughed. The sudden words made the woman blink her eyes, as if she felt a little approval. From the very beginning, she had felt inferior and wanted to treat her mother-inw better, but the old woman had always treated her badly. It was like ordering a servant around. As time passed, the woman no longer had the same thoughts as she did in the beginning. She just wanted to live with the family and continue to stay for the sake of responsibility. At this moment, her mind actually wavered a little. Joes seemed to have seen through this and her lips curled up.¡±¡±This is your business. It¡¯s not my ce to meddle in other people¡¯s business. It¡¯s just that the olddy doesn¡¯t seem to be veryfortable, so I¡¯m just giving you a kind reminder.¡± ¡°I understand!¡± The woman got excited and nodded.¡±¡±Maybe I¡¯m too weak. You can all see it, but I¡¯m still lying to myself.¡± Sheughed bitterly at the end of her sentence. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first. Thank you for reminding me.¡± Hearing the woman¡¯s thanks, Jossi shook her head.¡±¡±You¡¯re wee. I hope to see you here again next time.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. When she saw the woman¡¯s more confident smile, joesse¡¯s mood improved as well, and she watched her leave. After this farce, she also dismissed the security guards around her. With nothing to see, these passersby naturally would not continue to stay in the same ce. They all began to look at the jewelry seriously. As the boss whose identity had been exposed, Jossi had been hit on by many people. She had been living in misery for the entire morning. Soon, it was noon. Because it was lunch time for most people, there were fewer customers in the store, only a few. The star Yuan shop was located in a bustling area, and there were countless snack bars and restaurants around it. When it was time for meals, customers would inevitably be attracted. ¡°Sisi, can we eat now?¡± At that moment, Lin ya suddenly leaned over with a mischievous smile on her face. Jossi¡¯s intuition told her that something bad was about to happen, but she still raised her head to look at the time. It was already noon, and it was indeed time for lunch. Star Essence restaurant¡¯s mealtimes were on a rotation system. After each batch of people finished eating, the next batch would take over to eat. It wouldn¡¯t be good if there were too many customers in the shop and they were too busy. Joes nodded.¡±It¡¯s mealtime. What do you want to do?¡± She looked vignt. After Wang Li saw it, she couldn¡¯t help butugh.¡±Sisi, she¡¯s drunk. She wanted to give it to manager li.¡± Lunch...Li Chang ... Since Wang Li had made it so obvious, Qiao si naturally understood what she meant. It seemed that Lin ya was really starting to pursue Li Chang. Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 497-are you going to eat?

And he had already thought of a way. As the saying goes, if you want to capture a man¡¯s heart, you must first capture his taste. Lin ya clearly understood this principle. For this reason, she had even specially made a lunchbox so that Li Chang could have a chance to try her cooking and get closer to her. It had to be said that the method was not bad. After going through everything in her mind, joesse raised her brows slightly and ced one hand on Lin ya¡¯s shoulder. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Little ya, you¡¯re really good at hiding your skills.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated. I just want to cook when I¡¯m free. ¡± Lin ya said humbly. Even with her head lowered, Jossi and Wang Li could clearly see that her ears were red and she was a little shy. The two of them looked at each other, and the smile on their faces deepened. Lin ya had never had a boyfriend all these years, but Wang Li was different. She had had a few. As for Joess...There was no need to mention her. Zeng Qing, who had reced someone else¡¯s achievements in the past, was still in prison! She wanted to bury that failed rtionship deep in her memory and never mention it again. Therefore, Lin ya¡¯s first love was a good one. Jossi and Wang Li were both good at judging people. Li Chang was definitely a suitable boyfriend. ...... However, the two of them weren¡¯t very clear about his love experience, so Lin ya would have to figure it out herself. ¡°Let them go eat first. Li Chang is in the second batch.¡± Joes said after looking at the time. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lin ya nodded. After that, the first batch of salespeople who had entered the lounge to eat left the shop temporarily. After about ten minutes, they came out and it was the second group¡¯s turn to eat. The first to enter were Joes and Wang Li. The rest of the employees also entered one after another. Lin ya was the only one waiting at the door. She was actually waiting for her sweetheart. Li Chang didn¡¯te to eat immediately. Instead, he took the lunchbox and left the front desk after he settled the matter at the front desk. When he saw Lin ya at the door, he was taken aback and asked,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, why don¡¯t you go in and eat?¡± Xiaoya ... Lin ya¡¯s heart trembled when she heard this rather intimate form of address, and she suddenly felt a little sweet. ¡°I went to the toilet just now. I¡¯ll go in and eat now.¡± Lin ya suppressed the emotions in her heart and hurriedly lowered her head. Then, she pushed the door open and entered the lounge. Li Chang didn¡¯t say anything and followed her in. The fragrance of food filled the lounge. Joes and the rest were already seated and eating. This was a ce specially for eating. There were two tables, and joesse, Wang Li, and the sales assistant fromst time sat at one table. The other saleswomen were on good terms with him, so they sat at another table. After Lin ya entered, she walked straight to where Joes and the others were and sat down in one of the only two seats. Li Chang sat beside her. Looking at this scene, Joris could not help but smile. She pretended to not know anything and asked,¡±¡±Why are you two onlying in now?¡± Lin ya looked flustered, lowered her head slightly, and answered,¡±¡±I just went to the toilet, so I¡¯m a littlete.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s like this ...¡± Joes understood and turned to look at Li Chang. Li Chang rubbed his eyebrows and said with a smile,¡±¡±There¡¯s a problem with theputer at the front desk. I was dealing with it just now and I¡¯m done now. By the way, President Qiao, there¡¯s something I need to tell you. The current vip membership system is very suitable for you. ¡± ¡°Oh?¡± After hearing this, joesse could not be bothered about Lin ya¡¯s pursuit of Li Chang for the time being. She was curious. ording to what she had seen in the PowerPoint, Li Chang had developed several vip system ns, but they needed to be tested one by one before they could be finalized. Now that the shop had been open for so many days, Li Chang seemed to have a conclusion in his heart about which n to use. ¡°President Qiao, let me take a look.¡± When Li Chang came, in addition to his own lunchbox, he also brought a document. He pushed the document in front of Jossi and exined,¡±¡±President Qiao, you can take a look at this document. I¡¯ve asked some distinguished customers in the store about this system, and I¡¯vee up with their opinions. I¡¯ve even made some changes to the original system. ¡± Jossi flipped through the documents. It was exactly as Li Chang had said. Compared to the others, this system was the most suitable for the star Yuan shop¡¯s business model, which was why it was so popr. The vip system yed an important role in this. Everyone hoped to have enough points, and the daily check-in system won the public¡¯s favor. Joes continued to read page by page, and the more she read, the more she felt that Li Chang was a talent. In the end, she closed the document in her hand and a faint smile appeared on her face.¡±¡±Well done, the store manager position is definitely yours.¡± ¡°President Qiao, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Li Chang smiled, took the document, and temporarily put it aside where he could see it. After all, this was a very important thing. In the future, he would still have to rely on the vip system to attract more new customers when he held any activities in the store. Li Chang furrowed his brows slightly as he thought about something. He didn¡¯t know how mesmerizing his serious look was in Lin ya¡¯s eyes. ¡°As expected, serious men are the most handsome!¡± Lin ya was so stunned that she didn¡¯t even know what was in her lunchbox. She stared at Li Chang. Before Li Chang noticed the fangirl¡¯s gaze, Wang Li couldn¡¯t help but hold her forehead helplessly and remind him in a low voice,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, are you going to eat or not?¡± Li Changdu was eating and thinking, but Lin ya didn¡¯t even touch her chopsticks. Joes could not help butugh as well.¡±Even if you¡¯re dazed, you can¡¯t skip your meal. What if you¡¯re discovered?¡± The two of them spoke very softly. In addition, Li Chang¡¯s mind was filled with the vip system and he did not notice the situation around him at all. With their reminder, Lin ya finally came back to her senses and looked at the food in her bowl. The others had almost finished their food, but he didn¡¯t even move. ¡°I miscalcted!¡± Lin ya patted her head in frustration. How could she have forgotten about that? she didn¡¯t realize it. Taking a deep breath, Lin ya secretly nced at Li Chang, who was seriously thinking and moving his chopsticks from time to time. She decided that it was time to find an opportunity to let him try her cooking. Chapter 497

Chapter 497: You actually left me behind

The dishes in Lin ya¡¯s lunchbox were very sumptuous, and the purpose was to let Li Chang have a taste of itter. Now that the person was in front of her, she naturally would not give up this opportunity. After mentally preparing herself, Lin ya looked at Li Chang and carefully reached out to Pat his shoulder.¡±¡±Li Chang?¡± Although her voice was soft, she was heard very quickly because she was sitting next to Li Chang. Li Chang put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at her in confusion. He asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin ya lowered her head in embarrassment and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I made some dishes. I was wondering if you could try them.¡± The moment he said that, not only did Qiao si si and Wang Li stop in their tracks, even the sales assistants at the other table who were about to leave could not help but stop in their tracks. It was obvious that there was gossip! The salespeople looked at each other. After reaching a consensus, they quietly put down the empty lunchboxes in their hands and sat in their seats, casting nces at them from time to time. It was the same for Joes and Wang Li. On the surface, they were eating, but in reality, their attention was focused on the two of them. After Lin ya finished speaking, she was extremely nervous. Her heart was thumping as if a deer was running around. This was the first time she had experienced this feeling of being moved. Lin ya didn¡¯t fall in love with Li Chang at first sight. She only fell in love with him after spending a day with him. ...... The elegant young man was as gentle as Jade. How could Lin ya not like such an image and high IQ? After Li Chang heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful. I can try it. Your cooking must be good. ¡± It had to be said that Li Chang¡¯s emotional intelligence was very high. His words sessfully raised Lin ya¡¯s spirits. She pushed the lunchbox in front of her and said,¡±¡±Try it, I haven¡¯t tried it yet.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Li Changughed and looked at Lin ya with a touch of gentleness in his eyes. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef. The dishes in the lunchbox had been prepared by Lin ya when she got up early. They were stewed over low heat and tasted excellent. Her cooking skills weren¡¯t particrly good, but after learning for a while, she had improved a lot. Not to mention the current dishes, which he had only made after a busy morning. Li Chang put the beef in his mouth and chewed it carefully. His taste buds were filled with a fragrant and soft taste. His eyes lit up and he immediately praised,¡±¡±It¡¯s very good. ¡± ¡°Waa!¡± As soon as Li Chang finished speaking, a slight exmation sounded in the resting room. It was from the next table. Seeing this scene, they were a little excited and felt like they had just eaten a big pot of dog food. Li Chang didn¡¯t look at them. After all, they were just a group of onlookers. It was normal for them to be in a state of gossip. Moreover ... At Chang Li¡¯s table, Qiao si si and Wang Li¡¯s gazes were even more obvious. He had noticed it from the start. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Hearing Li Chang¡¯s praise, Lin ya was so excited that she didn¡¯t know what to do. She quickly pointed to another dish and said,¡±¡±Then try this!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try it.¡± Li Chang followed Lin ya¡¯s words and picked up other things to try. Every time she ate something, he would praise it without hesitation, giving Lin ya a lot of confidence. New novels chapters are published ?n ! Joesse raised her eyebrows and moved to Wang Li¡¯s side. She said softly,¡±¡±Lili, I think Li Chang is also interested in Xiaoya.¡± ¡°Do I need you to tell me that? Even a blind man can see it. ¡± Wang Li controlled her urge to roll her eyes. To be honest, Li Chang¡¯s expression was already very obvious. In the beginning, she could still exin that he had eaten so much of Lin ya¡¯s food and even praised her because he wanted to give Lin ya face. But now, it seemed to have a different meaning. If he was not mistaken, Li Chang was interested in Lin ya as well, but he had never made it clear. These two people ... Had a chance! Then, everyone watched Li Chang and Lin ya eat. The dog food filled everyone up. Joes took a look at her own lunchbox. There was clearly only half of the food left in it, but she was so full that she could not eat anything. ¡°Sigh ...¡± Joes sighed slightly. The lounge was filled with the sour smell of love. ¡°Let¡¯s ... Let¡¯s go,¡± At this time, the salespeople at the next table got up one after another. After watching for so long, they were no longer in the mood to continue watching the show. However, before they left, everyone could not help but smile. Joes blinked her eyes. It seemed that after these few people left, the matter between Li Chang and Lin ya would spread throughout the shop. It wasn¡¯t a bad thing. The possibility of the two being together was very high. ¡°I¡¯m also full. ¡± Wang Li pretended to be full and pulled Qiao si, who wanted to continue watching the show, up after she was done ying. The two of them left the lounge, leaving Li Chang and Lin ya alone. Outside the resting room. The moment Joes walked out, she sighed,¡±¡±It¡¯s better outside. There¡¯s no smell of dog food. ¡± This time, Wang Li really couldn¡¯t control herself. She rolled her eyes and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re even worse than Xiao Ya. You have the nerve to say that. Don¡¯t you and your Mr. Zheng often show off your affection? I¡¯ve heard about it a few times. ¡± Inparison, Lin ya was insignificant. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched and she waved her hand,¡±¡±It¡¯s just a small matter. Don¡¯t mind it too much. I have to go back to thepany now.¡± After saying that, she nced at the time on her watch. As thepany¡¯s president, joesse could note to the shop to help every day. Most of the time, she only came asionally. However, it seemed that Lin ya would have to stay in the store and help out every day. Fortunately, Wang Li was there, so there was no need to worry too much. After hearing what joesse said, Wang Li quickly said,¡±¡±Sisi, if you¡¯re going back to thepany, I¡¯ll bring her back too. Let Xiao Ya stay here and get along with Li Chang. If it wasn¡¯t for her being embarrassed in the morning and forcing me toe, I wouldn¡¯t havee. ¡± Speaking of this, Wang Li felt very helpless. Joes nced at the tightly shut door of the lounge and quickly agreed,¡±¡±Alright, it looks like they won¡¯t be able to finish this in a short time. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The two of them hurriedly left the shop and put away the work cards on their clothes. By the time Lin ya came out, there were no longer any signs of Jossi and Wang Li. How could she not understand what had happened? ¡°These two people are too disloyal, they actually left me behind!¡± Lin ya stared at the door for a long time with resentment in her eyes, but she still felt sad. Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 499-you can take a look

However, she quickly recovered. After all, this wasn¡¯t a big deal. Lin ya blinked her eyes. Perhaps she would be braver without the two of them. With that in mind, Lin ya¡¯s mood improved a lot. She smiled and ran to the front desk to find Li Chang. At the same time, joesse and Wang Li, whom she had been thinking about, had returned to star Yuan design and parked their cars in the underground garage. The two of them walked toward the elevator while talking about the recent events in thepany. Wang Li seemed to have recalled something and suddenly said,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, let me look after that instrument. No one has been using it recently. However, there¡¯s a batch of jewelrying out soon, and most of them are designed by Xiaoya and me. We should be able to try it out. ¡± As a high-tech product, this device was very urate. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so manypanies to only get their hands on it. Some of them ... Didn¡¯t even know about this instrument. For example, Qiao sisi was not very sure. If Zheng Zeyi had not sent it over, she might not have known about it. However, there were no¡¯ ifs ¡®in this world. She simply had a boyfriend who was super good to her. Joes curled her lips and smiled,¡±¡±If all of you have jewelry of the highest quality in this batch of jewelry, you can be thepany¡¯s chief designer.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Li stopped in her tracks and could not help but look surprised.¡±¡±Chief designer?¡± ...... She did not expect Joes to suddenly bring this up, and she had not thought of it yet. A chief designer wasn¡¯t just a position. It was also the face of a designpany. For Lin ya and her to have this chance, it meant that Joes trusted them and their abilities. Wang Li¡¯s heart was filled with warmth, and her smile became gentler. Upon seeing this, Jossi made an ok gesture and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, you two will definitely be fine. I know all the designers in thepany¡¯s design department, and I¡¯ve also observed them. None of them are as capable as you guys. ¡± At this point, she paused.¡±Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m opening the back door. I¡¯m looking at professional ability. The two of you have been studying design for so long and have experience. Not everyone can surpass you. And now ... What youck the most is nothing but a piece of famous jewelry that belongs to you. ¡± It was also a famous work. Joes had already been preparing for this. She had yet to deliver the ¡®deep sea¡¯ series to the star Yuan shop. However, it would be the highlight piece of the jewelry store sooner orter. It was also the first time that Joes had designed such a perfect piece of jewelry. As long as Lin ya and Wang Li had their own famous works, then it was even more certain that they would be thepany¡¯s chief designers. ¡°Understood, we have confidence.¡± Wang Li nodded her head heavily. She attached great importance to this matter. Then, the two of them entered the elevator. One of them went to the second floor, while the other went upstairs. ording to manager Li¡¯s words, the renovation would bepleted today. As expected, after Jossi went upstairs, she saw a very clean and simple office seat, as well as a slightly luxurious office. These were all areas that Jossi was extremely satisfied with, and these people¡¯s actions were also very fast. Seeing her, manager li took a step forward and said with a smile,¡±¡±President Qiao, you¡¯re here to see the results so soon?¡± New novels chapters are published ?n ! ¡°Of course. I didn¡¯t forget what you said yesterday. It seems that no one has cked off during this time.¡± Joes sighed. As long as they were rxed, it would be impossible toplete thepany¡¯s renovation tasks in such a short time. Joes was still very clear that these renovation workers had worked overtime several times and did not have enough rest. Thinking of this, Qiao sisi made a decision. She looked at manager li and said,¡±¡±Let these employees have a good rest in the afternoon. I¡¯ll ask the canteen to prepare the food. After we¡¯ve eaten, I¡¯ll ask everyone to go to the Human Resources Department to collect their red packets. ¡± ¡°President Qiao is indeed generous!¡± Manager li was naturally happy to be able to fight for the benefits of his employees and praised them. When the other employees heard joesse¡¯s words, they were overjoyed. They did not expect to receive such a huge bonus. From the start of the renovation until now, they had not missed out on a single cent of their overtime pay. Other than that, in terms of bonuses, Joes was also very generous, which made these employees have a very good impression of Joes. ¡°Alright, manager li, please check for a while. I still have something to deal with, so I won¡¯t stay any longer.¡± Manager li nodded his head slightly and replied,¡±¡±Okay, President Qiao, please go ahead.¡± After greeting them, Joes took the elevator down and returned to her office. She also asked Millie toe over. In the office. ¡°Miley, have you finished what I asked you to do yesterday?¡± ¡°It¡¯s done,¡±Millie nodded. After she finished speaking, she ced a list of names that had already been processed on the table. It was only a thin copy. ¡°President, there are a few people who called today and are interested in working with us. We can discuss it. The others are thepany¡¯s directors who are not in thepany for the time being. They will take the initiative to contact us when the timees. ¡± Millie exined. With her clear exnation, Joes instantly understood. She took the name list and took a quick look, feeling satisfied. ¡°Alright, you may leave then.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± As she watched Millie leave the office, Joes put the list aside for the time being. She had an idea of what was going on after looking through it. The most important thing right now was not thepany¡¯s cooperation, but ... Joes¡¯s expression turned slightly grave. She took a look at her phone and saw a message. As she was driving and talking to Wang Li, she did not notice the text message. Joes opened her phone and looked at it seriously. The message was sent by blue sky, and it had been sent ten minutes ago. [Content: President Qiao, the press release has been sent out. If you don¡¯t mind, you can take a look.] So fast? Joes could not help but raise her brows, but a hint of a smile shed across her eyes. She had to admit that she was very satisfied with this efficiency. ¡°Received.¡± Joesse typed these two words in reply to blue sky. Then, she opened the web page on herputer. Just as she was about to search for the words ¡®Jianghai¡¯, joesse saw the news on the home page. The title was very attractive: ¡°the CEO of the business world is corrupt. He donates money on the surface but pokes it away. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?¡± Chapter 499

Chapter 499: There¡¯s no way out

Jossi could not help but smile when she saw the title. Perhaps others might think that this was a little exaggerated, but to Joes, who had all the evidence, this was the truth. She even felt that the title wasn¡¯t ruthless enough. ¡®Gobbling up money¡¯... Was too light a description. Jianghai used the money donated to the children in the poor mountainous areas to renovate his own nightclub and to pick up girls. Such an act was already an existence that was contemptible. No one could ept it, including Jossi. ¡°But it¡¯s not bad.¡± Jossi felt that there were still some redeeming points. She opened the web page and read the news article from beginning to end. LAN Tian¡¯s penmanship was solid, and each word was sharp. He disyed The Bloody Truth in front of everyone without hiding anything. Just by looking at these words, one could feel the emotions of the person who wrote this article. The more Qiao si read, the more she admired LAN Tian. No wonder he was able to be a famous editor. This ability was simply at his fingertips. Even she couldn¡¯t guarantee that she could write a piece of evidence into an article for the public, let alone such a sharp article. After she finished reading the article, Jossi scrolled to the bottom of the page. ¡°This is ...¡± ...... Looking at the number ofments, Joes waspletely shocked. The time showed that this news was posted ten minutes ago. But in just ten minutes, there were thousands ofments? It could be seen how popr the news was. Joesse saw that at the top of thements, it was ament by aizen who had read the news and had some thoughts. It was a review of the current social atmosphere and the despicable practices of Jianghai city. Every word struck the heart, and he was extremely talented. Even joesse was amazed. Theseizens were really intelligent. They were all very suitable for being web editors. Blue sky did not know what Joes was thinking. Otherwise, his mouth would have twitched and he would have held his forehead helplessly. Although there were some differences between thements below and above, it was only the content. Thements below were much simpler and more vulgar. They directly cursed the entire family in Jianghai. It had to be said that joesse still preferred such simple and crudements. The reason was simple, she did not like Jianghai. These people would curse Jianghai so that she would be more familiar with it. Theizens ments this time had broadened Jossi¡¯s horizons. 02,¡±just this? Then why don¡¯t you quickly give me a lifetime tour in prison and food? don¡¯te out! He¡¯s a scourge to society!¡± ¡°Well said, but I think it¡¯s better to execute this kind of person who embezzled so much money and swindled people in the name of charity.¡± In name: ¡°it¡¯s a quick execution. Why let such a viin be so quick? his death is not worth pitying!¡± Little cell: ¡°after watching it, I really shivered. It¡¯s not because I¡¯m afraid. It¡¯s because I¡¯m so angry that my whole body is shaking.¡± How can there be such a scumbag in the world? he¡¯s doing it in the name of charity and doesn¡¯t give a single cent to the children in poor mountainous areas!¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Baby Bus replied. Those children thought that they had been saved, but in fact, those people had no intention of giving them the money at all. Just thinking about it made him angry! How big is the psychological gap? doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt after taking this money?¡± ¡°Scumbags don¡¯t have a conscience. He doesn¡¯t even have a mother.¡± New novels chapters are published ?n ! A weakling: ¡°he has a mother but can¡¯t afford to raise him. Calling him a scumbag is an insult to the word ¡®scumbag¡¯.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ There were countless simrments in the entirement section. Furthermore, while Joes was reading thements, the poprity of the news was still rising, and it had already reached an irreversible point. Joes was in an extremely good mood. She picked up the rich coffee that Millie had brewed for her and took a sip. As the rich aroma of coffee entered her stomach, Joes closed her eyes infort. After drinking her coffee for a while, she put it down and went to the top of the page to take a look. The news showed that the number of views on this news had increased to more than a million, and it had only been less than half an hour. This LAN Tian ... Was indeed quite capable. Joes had not even started to promote it, but this website had already started to do so. What she didn¡¯t know was that this website was also a business partner of the Zheng¡¯s group and they had a good rtionship. If Joes were to know about this, she would probably not have such thoughts. She was still immersed in the thrill of revenge. Joes could be very generous with some things, but there were some things that she could not be so generous with. From the very beginning, Jianghai city had already crossed her bottom line by using charity as a cover for their corruption. Moreover, it was unknown how much money the middle and lower sses had embezzled from it. They had taken money that should have belonged to children from poor mountain areas. Thinking of this, Jossi felt angry. Not to mention the irreconcble enmity between her and Jianghai city. Three lives were lost, it was not something that could be easily settled. This time, it was her way of repaying Jianghai! ¡°Jiang hai, I wonder if you¡¯ll like this gift I¡¯m giving you.¡± Joesughed coldly. At that moment, Jianghai, who had been forced to ept such a ¡°big gift,¡± was so flustered that he did not know what to do. ¡­¡­¡­ Jiang Corporation, office. In the office on the top floor, one could always see the most beautiful scenery outside through the clean and clear ss windows. Jianghai¡¯s favorite pastime was to sit by the window and drink red wine or do something else in the office. Of course, he couldn¡¯t waste such arge floor-to-ceiling window. However, today, Jianghai was not in the mood at all. He was so scared that he almost lost his soul. Jiang hai sat in front of his desk, looking at the news page on hisputer. The evidence on it was all about him. In addition to him, there were a few other big shots who were cooperating with him, but because they were more obscure, not everyone could discover them. ¡°What should I do ... What should I do ...¡± Jiang Hai¡¯s lips were white and his greasy face was covered in sweat. Even his fingers were trembling. It could be seen how nervous he was and how chaotic his mind was. He knew from the start that he would not be able to survive if he were to spread this evidence. Hence, after Joes showed him the evidence, Jianghai was cautious and even fulfilled her request. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he couldn¡¯t take out 40 million and was reluctant to give it away, the video might not have been exposed to the public so early. Chapter 500

Chapter 500: It¡¯s not a small amount

It was Jianghai¡¯s own fault for hiring ck Dragon and his gang. He wanted to save some money, kill Joes, and destroy the video. The result was the opposite. If Jianghai could return to that time, he would have pped himself to wake him up for doing something so stupid. 40 million was better than not having anything for the rest of his life! ¡°Really ... Damn it!¡± Jiang hai was surrounded by negative emotions. He couldn¡¯t help but look at thements on the screen, his hands in his hair. Because of his Mediterranean hairstyle and his unruly life, he didn¡¯t have much hair on his head. What should he do? Jiang Hai¡¯s mind was filled with this thought, and it had almost be an obsession. He wanted to settle this matter right now. However, the news had already been released and it had caused such a high amount of attention. Could it really be covered up so easily? Jiang hai was well aware that this was impossible. Just as he was about to break down, there was a knock on the office door. Jiang hai was so frightened that his body trembled twice before he raised his head shakily and hid his trembling hands under the table. ...... ¡°Come in!¡± His voice was trembling slightly, but it was not as obvious as Jiang Hai¡¯s attempt to mask it. The person outside pushed the door open and entered without hesitation. It was a woman, Jianghai¡¯s Secretary. He looked ordinary and had an average figure, but he was very powerful. It was also because of this that she was able to escape from Jianghai¡¯s evil ws and survive in the Jiang Corporation. The Secretary knew a little about the things that Jianghai city had done. He was not a good person. In order to maintain his job, he had never mentioned it to anyone. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± Hearing his Secretary¡¯s voice, Jiang hai squeezed out a smile and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? what happened?¡± He pretended to not know anything, which made the Secretary feel disgusted. The Secretary frowned. Thinking of his current status, he suppressed his emotions and ced a document on the table. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ve already sorted out this document. The news article that defamed you has already spread all over the world. Theizens are also very concerned about this matter.¡± The Secretary paused for a moment before continuing,¡±¡±Director Jiang, I think this is a serious matter. We have to deal with it properly.¡± For the sake of this extremely high-paying job, the Secretary didn¡¯t want the Jiang Corporation to fall just like that without hurting herself. If her thoughts were known by the vast number ofizens, she was afraid that they would be sprayed with dog blood. Some people evenmented that almost everyone in the Jiang Corporation was a parasite in the business world. Was there any need for such apany to continue existing? ¡°Yes, yes, find a way to solve it!¡± The referee said. Jiang Hai¡¯s emotions were instantly stirred up. He held the document in front of him and looked at it briefly before looking away. As if he had caught hold of a life-saving straw, he stared at the female secretary in front of him and said,¡±¡±Secretary, do you have any good ideas?¡± New novels chapters are published ?n ! ¡°I ...¡± The Secretary was taken aback when he saw Jiang Hai¡¯s anxious gaze. He felt that he had done something wrong. For the sake of survival, this was the only thing they could do now. The Secretary pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying,¡±¡±Director Jiang, after this news was released, I specially went to check. This was posted by an editor called LAN Tian. The news agency behind him is very powerful, so it¡¯s best not to provoke them. ¡± Based on the Jiang corporation¡¯s current strength, and with such a scandal exposed, there was no way they couldpete with the news agency. There would only be one result in a battle between the two. Jiang hai gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger.¡±Then what should we do? if we let this news continue to spread, I will be destroyed! At that time, not to mention me, even the Jiang Corporation won¡¯t be able to protect it, and you guys can only live on air!¡± For a moment, Jiang hai could not control his anger. His words ... Also carried a faint threatening aura. The Secretary felt helpless, but she knew that it was hard to find someone with such a high sry after losing this job. This was because the sry that Jianghai offered her was one grade higher than any otherpany. From the looks of it now, it might have been better to go to anotherpany back then. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. The corruption in Jianghai city and the mess in his private life were still known to a handful of people in the upper management of the Jiang Corporation. However, the bottom-level employees had nevermitted any crimes. They worked hard for their sry every day. Due to his low status, he was not valued in Jianghai city. Naturally, he could not participate in such a high-level matter. In fact, he was still lucky. ¡°I got it. I¡¯ll think of a way to help director Jiang deal with it. Since the source is editor LAN Tian, we¡¯ll start from him.¡± The Secretary¡¯s expression became more determined. Hearing this, Jiang hai frowned,¡±¡±What do you mean? what do you want to do?¡± At this time, seeing that his big-bellied, greasy CEO was still like this, the Secretary wanted to throw a document directly at his face. To be honest, after the Secretary saw the insults on the inte, she also felt very relieved. The Secretary took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±Director Jiang, don¡¯t think too much. I just think that we can ask editor LAN Tian out to meet and settle this matter. ¡°I believe that if you give enough money, blue sky Editor will probably be willing to change his mind and admit that there¡¯s a problem with this news.¡± The Secretary¡¯s words made Jianghai¡¯s mind race. He suddenly came to a realization and pped his thigh. He said,¡±¡±That¡¯s true. If you¡¯re tempted by benefits, then why don¡¯t you go quickly!¡± Worried that the situation would get worse, Jiang hai urged his Secretary to solve the problem as soon as possible. The Secretary¡¯s expression turned cold. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Jiang hai seemed to have noticed that something was wrong and stopped her. ¡°Wait,¡± The Secretary stopped in his tracks and turned around to ask,¡±¡±President Jiang, is there anything else you need?¡± Jiang hai wiped his bald head and nced at his Secretary.¡±¡±If you do this well, I¡¯ll give you a 100000 Yuan bonus at the end of this month,¡± A hundred thousand Yuan ... To a poor Secretary, this was not a small amount of money. It was very important. The Secretary lowered his eyes to hide the emotions that shed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±I understand, director Jiang. I¡¯ll definitely handle this matter well.¡± Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Meeting Xiang Jinyu again

¡°Alright, you may leave.¡± After the Secretary left, the office door was closed again, and the room fell into silence. Jiang Hai¡¯s hand was still on the mouse. When he saw the maliciousments on the inte, he was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He could not help but curse back through the screen. ¡°What a piece of trash! You have the nerve to criticize me here. It¡¯s my ability to get donations to charity!¡± ¡°All of you don¡¯t know where moneyes from. No wonder you can¡¯t get to the bottom of the hierarchy.¡± Sentence after sentence, Jianghai did not want to stop. However, he took onest look at the time and closed his mouth. He refreshed the news page. After refreshing the page, one could clearly see that an hour had passed since the news was posted. Not only did the number of views reach tens of millions, but it was still growing. Even the number ofments was quite shocking. There were hundreds of thousands ofments! Most of them felt that Jianghai was a disgusting person, and there were even some who yed the role of a sh * t-stirrer. Jiang Hai¡¯s hand trembled, and he almost dropped the mouse. Luckily, he managed to react in time. ¡°Jossi, you bitch!¡± ...... ¡°F * ck!¡± Jiang hai cursed. Only Joes had a copy of the evidence. However, it had now appeared in LAN Tian¡¯s hands. He had evenpiled it into such a piece of news and obtained verification. Before Jianghai city could respond, the inte had already confirmed that Jianghai city was corrupt. Jiang hai was furious at Joes for revealing the evidence. However, after what happened with Brother ck Dragon, he did not dare to do anything anymore. He was well-informed and knew that Brother ck Dragon and the rest had almost killed Joes and were now in prison. That was not all. The people who had been doing well in city h before were now in a sorry state after being in prison. Every day, they lived in misery and suffering. They were ostracized and bullied by the other people in the prison. Some people even had their legs broken. It was a ce where extremely vicious people were imprisoned, so naturally, there were no good people. Jiang Hai¡¯s entire body trembled at the thought of this. He could not help but feel a little fearful. He didn¡¯t want to enter that man-eating ce, he really couldn¡¯t survive! The current Jianghai could only pin their hopes on their Secretary. As long as she could solve LAN Tian¡¯s problem, there was nothing to worry about. However, after this news was released, the impact was deeply rooted and it also caused a great loss to the Jiang Corporation. ¡°If ... If we can get LAN Tian to rify things, it doesn¡¯t matter even if we lose some.¡± Jiang hai mumbled to himself, his voice trembling. His fingers were also trembling. It was clear that he was still very afraid, but he was slightly better than before. However, what Jianghai did not expect was that some of the higher-ups had already found out about this matter. There was no way they would let this matter rest. This news involved too many disgusting things in the business world and those parasites. After this, someone would definitely clean up this group of parasites. Jianghai city would not be able to escape the consequences. Most importantly, the tigress at home was also on her way. The documents not only exposed his corruption but also his messy private life. It was so chaotic that it made people¡¯s hair stand on end. The Jiang Corporation was in chaos, and many people already knew about this. He was worried that he would lose his job and be dragged into this major case. ¡­¡­¡­ Everything that happened at the Jiang Corporation, joesse had found out about it through the private detective. She did not do anything in secret. With the current situation, there would naturally be someone to deal with Jianghai city. As for what they would do, it would depend on how they would judge Jianghai¡¯s crimes. Now, the inte was filled with public opinion. Jianghai city had be a sinner of the ages and was being criticized. Joes was very satisfied with thements. After reading thements online for a while longer, she shut down herputer in a good mood. She did not waste any more time. Instead, she picked up her phone and made the first call ording to the phone number written on the list. This was a jewelry designpany, and it had a special meaning to joesse. It¡¯s the Shijin Shiyupany. Every time she recalled the time when she was a designer at Jin Yupany, Qiao si would feel emotional. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and Shiyupany was no longer the designer¡¯s paradise. Or perhaps, it was mixed with many other things. Looking at the phone, joesse¡¯s deep thoughts finally came back to her. She smiled and quickly made the call. ¡± The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Xiang Jinyu¡¯s familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.¡±¡±Hello? You are ...¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up as she said,¡±¡±President Xiang, you should still remember me. Long time no see.¡± As soon as he said that, the phone fell silent. Xiang Jinyu¡¯s pupils shrank. She looked at the phone in her hand in disbelief, but after confirming it, she had to admit that the person who called was Qiao si. Furthermore, she really did not expect that Joes would actually call her. Every time Xiang Jinyu thought about what happened a year ago, he felt that he had done something wrong. He had trusted his Secretary too much. He still felt a tinge of guilt towards Joes. All these years, she had been torturing herself day and night, and she didn¡¯t trust the people around her that much anymore. But today, Joes suddenly called. Xiang Jinyu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart,¡±¡±Long time no see, sisi.¡± An intimate form of address effectively closed the distance between the two. Joes did not say anything and chuckled,¡±¡±President Xiang, I¡¯m calling you this time because I have a coboration project. I wonder if you¡¯re interested?¡± ¡°A coboration?¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s interest was piqued, and he was quite curious. She knew that Qiao sisi was now the president of Xing Yuan design and had a hugepany under her name. She was very famous in the jewelry design industry. She had never thought about the matter of cooperation. Hearing Xiang Jinyu¡¯s confused voice, Qiao si flipped through the documents on the table and said,¡±¡±President Xiang, I¡¯ll find some time to see you in the next few days. I hope you¡¯ll do me a favor when the timees. I¡¯ll be bringing a coboration project there, but it¡¯s not convenient to disclose it now. ¡± ¡°I see ...¡± Xiang Jinyu nodded in understanding. After they finished talking about what they had done, it seemed like there was nothing else to talk about. Chapter 502

Chapter 502: Chapter 503 let here up

Xiang Jinyu was silent for a moment, then his red lips moved and he said,¡±Sisi, I¡¯m very sorry for what happened in the past.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be sorry.¡± After she said that, Qiao si immediately shook her head. She had actually met Xiang Jinyu before. When she had just started building Xing Yuan design, she had personally gone to Shiyupany and poached Lin ya and Wang Li. At the thought of this, Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±President Xiang, don¡¯t make things difficult for me. Didn¡¯t we agree that what happened a year ago is already in the past and there¡¯s no need to mention it? Besides, that incident has nothing to do with you. I was the one who was targeted. Shouldn¡¯t I feel guilty for stealing your girl?¡± ¡°This ...¡± Xiang Jinyu was slightly taken aback, but after thinking for a while, he knew what joesse was talking about, and he smiled. No matter what, it was already a good thing that he could still maintain a good rtionship with Joes. Then, as if she suddenly recalled something, Joes asked,¡±¡±By the way, I heard that yourpany is in trouble. How is it?¡± Xiang Jinyu sighed deeply.¡±It¡¯s just a small family matter. Now, I¡¯m thinking about thepany. I don¡¯t want this to happen.¡± Something happened at home, and someone couldn¡¯t stand me being the CEO of thepany, so they used some tricks. ¡± Xiang Jinyu¡¯s identity was not simple. ...... The family behind her was very powerful, and it had always been her dream to set up a jewelry designpany. Otherwise, he would probably be involved in the family¡¯s power struggle. However, the situation had changed. The reason was simple-Xiang Jinyu had managed thepany too well. It was so good that it made people envious and greedy. It was also because of this that the other members of the family had tried everything they could to get Xiang Jinyu¡¯spany. At the very least, he was not willing to hand thepany over to Xiang Jinyu. That was why thepany was in such a foul state. This was the reason why many people were not willing to work with Jin Yupany, except for Qiao si si. ¡°I see. Have you thought of a solution now?¡± Joes asked as she picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The warm liquid entered her stomach. Hearing this, Xiang Jinyu smiled, and he could hear the helplessness in herughter. ¡°There ... Should be a way. I¡¯ve been running thepany for so many years. It won¡¯t be destroyed as soon as this incident happens.¡± That would be underestimating Xiang Jinyu. At this point, she paused and continued,¡±¡±Anyway, you don¡¯t have to worry about the cooperation with ourpany. We¡¯ll definitely make sure you don¡¯t have any worries.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Qiao si si nodded, indicating that she trusted Xiang Jinyu. After that, the two of them didn¡¯t say anything else. They only talked about work. In the past year, many things had happened to everyone, including Xiang Jinyu, who had also found a boyfriend with a good family background. She had discussed it with her boyfriend. There was still a way to deal with these greedy family members. It had not been implemented yet, so Jossi did not need to worry about her. After saying what she wanted to say, joesse hung up the phone and ced it in a position that could be seen anywhere. She didn¡¯t call and ask the remaining people on the list one by one, since there was no need to. It would be a good thing if thesepanies could cooperate, but even if they didn ¡®t, there was no need to force them. ¡°Let Millie pay attention to these people. It shouldn¡¯t be long before we get an answer.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and ced the name list to the side. At the same time, something unexpected happened to the Zheng¡¯s group. An uninvited guest had arrived. ¡­¡­¡­ Zheng¡¯s group, top floor office. Next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window was a huge desk. Zheng ze was reading today¡¯s news while drinking the expensive coffee that he had just made. Looking at the news on the page, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. The reason why Jianghai¡¯s corruption was so widely known was naturally because of his actions behind the scenes. Zheng Zeyi received the news the moment the news was released. He also knew that the person behind this was Qiao si. As her husband, he had to support his wife who wanted to prank him. He had to support her behind his back. When the matter was settled, he would bring this secret to Joes and ask for a reward. Just the thought of it made him feelfortable. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. It sounded a little rushed. Zheng Zeyi looked up and put down the coffee in his hand. He said indifferently,¡±¡±Come in,¡± The sound of the door opening was heard. As expected, it was assistant li who had something to report. Other than him, no one else had the right to enter the president¡¯s office. Zheng ze looked at the nervous assistant li and asked,¡±¡±Tell me, what is it?¡± Assistant li took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±President, miss Lin has been pestering us downstairs. I was going to ask the security guards to take her out. However, miss Lin said that she has something important to tell you. I¡¯m worried that she might be up to something, so I¡¯m here to tell you. ¡± Speaking of which, this was already assistant Li¡¯s own decision. And the person he was talking about was surprisingly Lin Xiu ¡®er, who had not appeared for a long time. Ever since thest incident, Zheng Zeyi had specifically mentioned that he would not allow this woman to enter the Zheng Corporation again. This time, assistant li came to report to Zheng ze because he felt that there was indeed a situation and was worried that it would dy things. The reason why he was so nervous was that he was afraid that Zheng Zeyi would be unhappy. However, the thing that assistant li had expected did not happen. Zheng Zeyi looked very calm as his long fingers held the coffee cup. ¡°Lin Xiu ¡®er?¡± Hearing his CEO¡¯s maic voice, assistant li was slightly stunned. After he came back to his senses, he quickly nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s her,¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes. A strange light shed in his eyes, as if he was nning something. Almost no one knew the power behind him. Zheng Zeyi was not only famous in the business world. He had even been in the gray areas of city h and had even reached a terrifying level. ¡°Interesting.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile. He looked up and said,¡±¡±Let here up and wait in the guest room.¡± He didn¡¯t want that woman to enter his office, lest she dirtied the ce. ¡°Yes, President.¡± After receiving the order, assistant li nodded. After leaving the office, he took the elevator down and brought Lin Xiu ¡®er up. Chapter 503

Chapter 503: I don¡¯t want to go to the guest room

At this moment, Lin Xiu ¡®er was in the hall of the Zheng¡¯s group, being pointed at by the employees. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s affair was also spread all over the world after that theft. This was one of the reasons why her reputation was so bad that she could no longer stay in the entertainment industry. Everyone knew that Zheng Zeyi had chosen to break up with Lin Xiu ¡®er because she had an affair, and their impression of this person had fallen to the bottom. How dare such a shameless persone to the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group? The employees were all shocked. The front deskdy looked at Lin Xiu ¡®er in front of her. Although she was indignant in her heart, she couldn¡¯t show too many personal emotions due to work reasons. The other employees didn¡¯t have to worry so much. The two front deskdies who were free were whispering about this matter with disdain on their faces. Their voices were very soft, but Lin Xiu ¡®er was not far from them, so she could clearly hear the conversation between the two. ¡°You know what? This is the Lin Xiu ¡®er who was extremely popr on the inte previously!¡± One of the receptionists started the conversation. The other person quickly nodded and echoed,¡±¡±Of course I know. Didn¡¯t you participate in the n for the theft? They want to frame the president¡¯s current fianc¨¦e. These people are really dirty!¡± ¡°It¡¯s more than that. When she was with the president, she couldn¡¯t stand the loneliness and went out to find another man because the president was busy with work!¡± At this point, thedy at the front desk became even more enthusiastic. ...... No matter what, it was a fact that Lin Xiu ¡®er had gone out to find a man. Even if they criticized her, no one could say anything. Other than looking down on Lin Xiu ¡®er, she also felt that Zheng Zeyi was not worth it. He had actually been with such a shameless person in the past. ¡°You¡¯re right. Some people are really shameless. They still dare toe to thepany after such a thing has been exposed.¡± The receptionist curled her lips and nced at Lin Xiu ¡®er with an obscure gaze. ¡°Disgusting!¡± Many people in thepany were spreading simr rumors. After Lin Xiu ¡®er heard it, her face turned green, and she wished that she could tear off the mouths of these gossiping women. In her opinion, she was not in the wrong at all. It was all Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fault. ¡°A bunch of sluts!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er was extremely angry and cursed in her heart. The gazes of many people in the surroundings gathered on Lin Xiu ¡®er. She felt that these people were all talking about her. In such an environment, Lin Xiu ¡®er could not stand it anymore after staying for just over ten minutes. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Fortunately, assistant li also came down at this time. After seeing Lin Xiu ¡®er, he quickly walked over and said with a cold face,¡±¡±Miss Lin, please follow me.¡± Everyone was stunned by his words. A smile appeared on Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s face, and she said with a smile,¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll go up to see President Zheng now.¡± She emphasized the words ¡°President Zheng¡± in order to let the people around her who were worried for nothing take a look. What¡¯s the point of saying so much? didn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi still want to see her? Lin Xiu ¡®er nced at the crowd arrogantly and followed assistant li into the elevator. Her back disappeared at the elevator. Seeing this scene, everyone all withdrew their gazes and became more and more displeased with Lin Xiu ¡®er this person. ¡°What¡¯s there to be proud of?¡± Someone sneered. ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± the others chimed in.¡±We don¡¯t even know why President Zheng wants to see her, but she¡¯s already so smug.¡± New novels chapters are published ?n ! ¡°I believe President Zheng won¡¯t like this woman. Cheating on her ... Tsk tsk.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t hear the whispers of these employees. At this moment, she was following assistant li to the top floor. On the top floor, other than the president¡¯s office, there was a reception room not far away, which was also convenient for receiving guests. Although Lin Xiu ¡®er was not considered a guest, Zheng Zeyi could not possibly meet her in the hall on the first floor. After getting out of the elevator, Lin Xiu ¡®er walked straight in the direction of the president¡¯s office. She had just taken a few steps when she was stopped by assistant li. She was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Upon hearing this, assistant li smiled politely and said calmly,¡±¡±Miss Lin, please follow me to the guest room. The president will receive you there.¡± The reception room? Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes. She had forgotten about this! When she was still dating Zheng Zeyi, she would never be in the guest room. Instead, she would go straight to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office. Although Zheng Zeyi was unhappy, he needed a shield at the time, so he did not say anything. However, it was different now. She was no longer Zheng Zeyi¡¯s girlfriend on the surface. In fact, she had broken up with another man because she had cheated on him and could not bear the loneliness. Every time she thought of this matter, Lin Xiu ¡®er would feel extremely regretful. She regretted that she had once done that and lost a rich husband. Zheng Zeyi had treated her too coldly in the past, and Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so she went to find someone else to solve it. In the end ... Lin Xiu ¡®er frowned tightly and asked,¡±¡±Why did President Zheng suddenly want me to wait for him in the guest room?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll have to ask President Zheng about this. ¡± Assistant Li said with a smile, looking very stubborn. In Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes, him acting like this was looking down on her, feeling that she was also just a person with a low status now! After taking a deep breath, Lin Xiu ¡®er raised her head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to find him. I won¡¯t wait in the guest room. ¡± After she finished speaking, she ran to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office before assistant li could react. Because he had been here many times, he was very familiar with the road this time. ¡°Miss Lin.¡± Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Xiu ¡®er revealed a mocking smile. She naturally would not say that she wanted to enter Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office because she had other things to do. The reception room? what¡¯s the use of that ce? Lin Xiu ¡®er rushed to the door and was panting slightly from exhaustion. She reached out and was about to open the office door, but the next second, the door was opened from the inside. Her face stiffened, and she looked up to meet Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze as if she was being stared at by a terrifying beast. It was creepy. Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s arrogance from earlier instantly vanished without a trace. She squeezed out a smile with great difficulty.¡±President Zheng, it¡¯s ... It¡¯s been a long time.¡± His voice trembled, clearly frightened. She might not be unaware of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s promotion of Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s involvement in the theft case. Therefore, when she faced this man, she herself carried a sense of inferiority that she might not have noticed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to go to the guest room?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er lowered her head and concealed the fear in her eyes. If she had known that she would bump into Zheng Zeyi, she would have just gone to the guest room instead of doing more things. Chapter 504

Chapter 504: There is a problem with the cooperation contract

But ... Thinking of her n with Zheng Zeyu, Lin Xiu ¡®er hesitated again. She was angry with Zheng Zeyi, who insisted on breaking up. Even though she was afraid, she was more furious. She wanted revenge! He was not only taking revenge on Zheng Zeyi, but also that B * tch Joes! Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth, and she was extremely angry in her heart. The first step to taking revenge was to destroy the forces behind them. It was better to hand over Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Zheng¡¯s group to Zheng Zeyu. With a myriad of thoughts in her mind, Lin Xiu ¡®er lowered her eyes and said with difficulty,¡±¡±President Zheng, don¡¯t misunderstand. I just have something important to tell you.¡± ¡°What is it that you have to say in the office?¡± Zheng ze leaned against the door sill and looked at Lin Xiu ¡®erzily. He didn¡¯t have any intention of letting her in. Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth and pretended to be shocked as she said,¡±¡±President Zheng, it¡¯s really important. I hope you can believe me.¡± Important? If it was not for the fact that he had to cover it up, Zheng Zeyi would haveughed out loud as if he was being treated like a fool. There were some obvious things that he could guess even if he didn¡¯t send someone to investigate, let alone the current situation. ...... Lin Xiu ¡®er almost wrote the words¡¯ there¡¯s a problem ¡®on her face. ¡°Thene in with me. If it¡¯s not something important, I¡¯ll get someone to kick you out immediately.??¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was cold. After he finished speaking, he went back into the office, leaving only his slender back view. Seeing this, Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s heart surged with some joy.????? Sess! She did not seem to notice that something was wrong with Zheng Zeyi. She immediately chose to follow him in and sat on the sofa naturally. It was assistant li who felt that something was amiss, but he respected the CEO¡¯s opinion and gently closed the door. Although he still didn¡¯t know what the president was going to do and why he suddenly chose to receive Lin Xiu ¡®er. However, since Zheng Zeyi had decided to do this, he must have his own reasons. His President was a god-like Prophet, so assistant li didn¡¯t need to worry so much. He just had to do what he was doing. Only Zheng Zeyi and Lin Xiu ¡®er were left in the huge office, and the atmosphere was filled with awkwardness. ¡°Speak,¡± he said. Lin Xiu ¡®er became more nervous when she saw Zheng Zeyi ying with the coffee cup, but her left hand fiddled with the phone a few times in a ce where he could not see. ¡°Zeyi, I¡¯d like to talk to you about getting back together. I know I was wrong about what happened before.¡± Speaking to the end, Lin Xiu ¡®er revealed a bitter and pleading expression.¡±¡±I really like you, but I was possessed at that time and didn¡¯t know who was the one that was truly suitable for me. Can you forgive me? we¡¯ve been together for so long, I¡¯m sure we still have feelings for each other. I¡¯ll change my mind. ¡± His words were like a joke. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression did not change. His long fingersnded on the coffee cup, but a deep look shed across his eyes. This woman ... What the hell was she trying to do? Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s actions were indeed very secretive, but it could not escape Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. He saw through it almost immediately. New novels chapters are published ?n ! She wasn¡¯t really here to get back together. She was probably just stalling for time and wanted to do something. After sorting out his thoughts, Zheng Zeyi was interested to see what Lin Xiu ¡®er and Zheng Zeyu were up to. He pretended not to see through her and sneered,¡±Lin Xiu ¡®er, are you here to show off your intelligence?¡± ¡°You ... What do you mean by this!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but open her eyes wide, and her face was red with shame and anger. Seeing her like this, Zheng Zeyi raised his brows slightly and said with a smile,¡±¡±Of course I mean what I said. Do you have any objections?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze was extremely cold. It was as if he would chase Lin Xiu ¡®er out the next moment if she dared to say something he didn¡¯t like to hear. As the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, he had the absolute power to control everything that happened in thepany. Lin Xiu ¡®er gritted her teeth and warned herself in her heart that she must be calm. This matter was rted to her future, so she absolutely couldn¡¯t be careless! After warning him, she said stiffly,¡±¡±Zeyi, don¡¯t joke with me. I¡¯m serious about everything I said.¡± ¡°Me too,¡± These three insipid words sessfully choked Lin Xiu ¡®er until she couldn¡¯t say anything. She wished she could stomp her feet in anger. She was furious. She had note to the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group to get back together with Zheng ze. It was impossible for them to be together now. His real purpose was to get the confidential documents of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. However, when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s impervious and extremely cold attitude, Lin Xiu ¡®er felt that she had been humiliated and could not bear it. ¡°Let¡¯s see how you can still be so arrogant when yourpany copses!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er thought ruthlessly in her heart, but her face didn¡¯t show any expression. Her fingertips gently fell on the mobile phone screen next to her. She clicked the ¡°send¡± button by ident, and she finally smiled. Her gloomy mood was much better. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was getting impatient. He ced the coffee cup at a spot that could be seen everywhere and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t have anything to say, you can leave by yourself.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er was worried that she would really be driven out, so she quickly stopped Zheng Zeyi from continuing. She smiled sheepishly.¡±I¡¯ll say onest thing before I leave. Ze Yi, please give me a chance.¡± ¡°Speak,¡± he said. Her calm tone was tinged with anger. Zheng Zeyi had been tolerating her for a long time, but he had not seen what he wanted to see. He didn¡¯t know what kind of clumsy means these two would use. Just as Lin Xiu ¡®er was about to open her mouth and say something, someone suddenly knocked on the office door, breaking the embarrassing anger just now. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi retracted his gaze from Lin Xiu ¡®er, and a look of disgust shed across his eyes.¡±¡±Come in.¡± It was assistant li who pushed the door open. However,pared to just now, his face was obviously more anxious. It seemed that something had happened. ¡°What happened?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked. Assistant li stopped in his tracks and quickly walked to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side. He said softly,¡±¡±President, a smallpany that we¡¯re working with is causing trouble. They said they had to see the president, and there were many of them. The security guards downstairs were ready to drive them out, but those people said there was a problem with the contract. ¡± Was there a problem with the contract? Ha ... The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth lifted slightly. The problem shouldn¡¯t be with the contract, but with Lin Xiu ¡®er, who had entered the Zheng¡¯s group with a little intention. As well as Zheng Zeyu, who had been hiding in the dark and had not shown his face. They had put in so much effort just to let Lin Xiu ¡®er enter the office and send Zheng Zeyi away while they were at it. Chapter 505

Chapter 505: I don¡¯t need you to chase me away

His motive was obvious. He did this because he felt that there might be something in the office. Since that was the case, he might as well go along with their wishes. In just a short moment, Zheng Zeyi had already sorted out his thoughts and decided to leave Lin Xiu ¡®er some quiet space. Some things had already been arranged. Now, it was up to Lin Xiu ¡®er to seize this opportunity andplete the task Zheng Zeyu had given her. ¡°Let¡¯s go, take me to see it. ¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi immediately got up and prepared to go downstairs to check on the situation. However, just as he got up, his eyes couldn¡¯t help but fall on Lin Xiu ¡®er. Lin Xiu ¡®er noticed something strange and turned her body to show her beautiful side profile to Zheng Zeyi. She smiled shyly and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯ll be fine after sitting here for a while. I¡¯ll tell you more when you¡¯re back.¡± The smile on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was intriguing, and he said something that even assistant li was surprised by.¡±¡±Then you can wait for me here.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. Before assistant li could react, Zheng Zeyi had already left the office. Seeing this scene, assistant li swallowed his saliva and quickly followed, afraid that he would be one step too slow. Although he didn¡¯t know what the president wanted to do, looking at the current situation, this Lin Xiu ¡®er seemed to have fallen into the trap. ...... Other than the president¡¯s wife, the president almost never smiled sincerely. Even he felt that the smile just now was a little creepy. A momentter, both of them left the president¡¯s office, and only Lin Xiu ¡®er was left in therge office. After confirming that someone had indeed left, Lin Xiu ¡®er quickly picked up the mobile phone next to her and carefully read the text message. The text message was from Zheng Zeyu. The content was very simple, asking her to look for the confidential documents in the president¡¯s office. ¡°Confidential documents ... How am I supposed to find them if you don¡¯t tell me where they are?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er frowned. Although she said so, she still stood up very honestly and began to look around the office. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s office was veryrge. Other than the bookshelves and a leisure table, there was only a desk that took up arge area. ¡°Could it be in the drawer?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er felt that this was the most likely possibility. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly came to the desk and looked for the things in the drawer. The firstyer was filled with some insignificant paper and pen. After rummaging through them, Lin Xiu ¡®er didn¡¯t pay much attention to them. It was not until she flipped through thestyer that she finally found something unusual. The bottommost drawer was covered with a mess of white paper, as if it was deliberately hiding something. Lin Xiu ¡®er couldn¡¯t help but open her eyes wide. After she reached out and took away all the white papers, she saw a yellow paper bag under it. She touched it with her fingers. If she was not surprised, it was indeed a document. That¡¯s great! He found it! Lin Xiu ¡®er was extremely excited. She took out the documents and put all the white papers back in ce to avoid being discovered. At the same time, she got up and took the documents to the sofa. Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn¡¯t returned yet, Lin Xiu ¡®er opened the yellow paper bag and took a look. There was a document inside, and the words nd contract¡± were written on the cover page. It was what Zheng Zeyu had been thinking about. New novels chapters are published ?n ! Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s mouth revealed a mocking smile. She looked up at the tightly closed door of the office and silently put the documents into her bag. Now that all the confidential documents had been taken away, Zheng Zeyi probably wouldn¡¯t be able to stay in this position for long. He could only wait for his next position! ¡°President ...¡± Just as Lin Xiu ¡®er was drinking her tea, a slight sound came from outside the door. There was also the sound of footsteps. She knew that Zheng Zeyi and assistant li had returned and quickly put the teacup on the table. Then, Lin Xiu ¡®er picked up her cell phone very naturally and leaned against the sofa to watch some short videos to relieve her boredom. This was the scene that Zheng Zeyi and assistant li saw when they pushed the door open and entered. This was also what Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted them to see. As long as she did this, they would think that she had been ying with her mobile phone during the time she had just left. Even assistant li felt that something was wrong with such a clumsy method. However, since Zheng Zeyi did not say anything, assistant li naturally did not say anything. He yed the role of a quiet person. ¡°Miss Lin.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thin lips moved as he spat out these three words. His voice was extremely maic, and even though Lin Xiu ¡®er had thoughts of taking revenge on Zheng Zeyi, she felt her heart tremble after hearing it. She coughed twice to cover up her abnormality and said,¡±¡±Ahem, President Zheng, how¡¯s the matter downstairs going?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi walked straight to his office seat as if he had not heard anything and leaned against the boss¡¯s chair to rest. The magical operation sessfully made Lin Xiu ¡®er embarrassed again. ¡°This matter has nothing to do with you. Also, what are you trying to say? Assistant li is right next to you, so I can¡¯t tell you ... You don¡¯t have to stay here any longer. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words contained a bit of coldness, and his eyes made people feel as if they had fallen into ice. Lin Xiu ¡®er was so scared that her heart was in her throat. Fortunately, she had already obtained the item, so she didn¡¯t need to waste time here. Lin Xiu ¡®er suppressed the fear in her heart and lowered her head slightly. She relied on her acting skills from the entertainment industry and sessfully squeezed out a few tears. She stared at Zheng Zeyi with pitiful eyes and said innocently,¡±¡±Zeyi, I only have one thing to say. No matter how you treat me now, I won¡¯t give up.¡± ¡°Are you done?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er nodded awkwardly when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s faint voice.¡±¡±I¡¯m done. ¡± ¡°Then get lost.¡± Without waiting for Lin Xiu ¡®er toe back to her senses, assistant li came over and was about to take her away with a polite smile. ¡°Miss Lin, our President asked me to send the guest off. I hope you don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± After saying these words, even if Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted to stay here shamelessly, she probably could not stay here. She took a deep breath and her face turned red with anger. She looked at Zheng Zeyi and said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t need to chase me away, I can leave on my own!¡± After she finished speaking, Lin Xiu ¡®er directly took her bag and left the president¡¯s office. Her back view was very determined. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was holding her bag very tightly, as if it was a treasure. After all, there was a forged confidential document inside, which was very important to Zheng Zeyu. Zheng Zeyi sneered. He hoped that Zheng Zeyu would ept this big gift and not let him down. That¡¯s right, Zheng ze had already guessed that something like this would happen today, so he had already prepared a forged confidential document in the drawer. Chapter 506

Chapter 506: Then I¡¯ll count on your auspicious words

Trantor: 549690339

He didn¡¯t know what Lin Xiu ¡®er wanted to do at first, but he was very clear now. Seeing Lin Xiu ¡®er leave, assistant li did not send her off. Instead, he stood beside Zheng Zeyi and asked in confusion,¡±¡±President, should we still let miss Lin in the next time shees?¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be a next time,¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his eyes slightly and passed the empty coffee cup to assistant li.¡±¡±I¡¯ll make another cup of coffee. ¡± Assistant li nodded. After taking the coffee cup, he was about to leave when he heard a voice behind him. ¡°Also ... Clean up the entire office and throw away all the teacups she used, understand?¡± Assistant li was stunned for a moment before nodding,¡±yes, I understand.¡± Then, he left the president¡¯s office. However, he couldn¡¯t help butin in his heart. The president simply despised Lin Xiu ¡®er to the extreme. However, this was not something to be surprised about. The president only liked the president¡¯s wife and had never been kind to other women. Furthermore, it was Lin Xiu ¡®er, who could not stand the loneliness, had a scandal, and had evenid her hands on Joes. If Zheng Zeyi was really nice to her, assistant li would think that he was heartless and had let down the president¡¯s wife. It was fortunate that Zheng Zeyi did not know what assistant li was thinking. Otherwise, he would have a lot of things on his head. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, Xing Yuan¡¯s design. Joes had yet to receive any news about what had happened in the Zheng¡¯s group. She was currently handling some necessary matters in thepany. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the situation on the inte. Jianghai city was currently in a very difficult situation. The inte was filled with curses. His Secretary did not manage to solve anything and could not even get LAN Tian¡¯s contact information. Under such circumstances, if this Secretary could still resolve the situation, joesse would feel that this Secretary¡¯s ability was extraordinary. However, if he was really capable, he would not have worked for apany in Jianghai. After dealing with some business matters, it was about a ten-minute break in the afternoon, which was also thepany¡¯s rule. She stretchedzily, took a cup of coffee, and went to the second floor of the design department to listen to her colleagues gossip. The employees were all surprised to see her, and they didn¡¯t seem as natural as before. Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be so nervous. I¡¯m just here to rest. You guys go on. Don¡¯t mind me. ¡± ¡°Really? The president?¡± One of the staff members asked suspiciously. Joes nodded and waved the cup of coffee in her hand, indicating that she had no intention of spying on him. ¡°I¡¯m just here for coffee. ¡± She had always been very easy-going in thepany, except when it came to work. After saying that, the employees all heaved a sigh of relief. They all stood to the side and began to gossip, not wasting the ten-minute break. From afar, joesse could even see Wang Li, who was not too far away. When their eyes met, Wang Li could not help but chuckle. She quickly walked to Joes ¡®side and patted her on the shoulder. ¡°Xiao Ya still hasn¡¯t returned?¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Li felt a little helpless. She shrugged and said,¡±¡±He didn¡¯t n toe back after he went this morning. If we were fast, we might have been able to confirm our rtionship by today.¡± Joes blinked her eyes in disbelief. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too soon to be sure today?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Wang Li, on the other hand, felt that it was very normal and did not mind. She said,¡±¡±No matter what, Li Chang is a good person. Nothing should happen to him. Xiaoya is not a child. She will know her limits.¡± Joes expressed her agreement with Wang Li¡¯s words. The two of them were no longer children, so it was not surprising that they had confirmed their rtionship so quickly. Li Chang¡¯s personality had always been very steady. After working together for such a period of time, this was something that joesse had noticed through her years of observation. Although Lin ya appeared to be carefree on the surface, she was actually very careful and knew how to take care of other people¡¯s emotions. It was indeed very appropriate to say this. After chatting about this matter for a while, Joes changed the topic and asked,¡±¡±Lili, have you seen the news on the inte?¡± The news ... Wang Li didn¡¯t understand at first, but after she got the answer, she nodded heavily. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just that Jianghai¡¯s dirty deeds have been exposed?¡±she said happily. I¡¯ve been waiting to see this for a long time!¡± ¡°You know him?¡± Seeing how Wang Li had vented her anger, even Qiao si could not help but be shocked. Wang Li heaved a long sigh of relief and exined,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know him. I¡¯ve only heard my family mention him before. Anyway, he¡¯s not a good thing.¡± ¡°He¡¯s indeed not a good person. The evil things he¡¯s done can¡¯t be counted with just a few hands.¡± If that was not the case, Joes would not have chosen to expose the matter and let the public judge Jianghai¡¯s actions. He didn¡¯t feel sorry for theizens, but for the children in the poor mountainous areas who could have been helped but were destroyed by greed. There were also kind-hearted people who contributed kindness but did not help anyone after donating. At the thought of this, even Jossi felt that the human heart was sinister, let alone those who had put in effort. At this moment, Wang Li seemed to have suddenly recalled something and said,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, I remember telling you this morning that there¡¯s going to be a batch of jewelry today.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Joes nodded slightly.¡±I remember that the batch of jewelry can be sent directly to the store.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. ¡°Wang Li made an OK gesture and brought Jossi to thepany¡¯s production department to bring along all the jewelry. The two of them had nned to test the quality in thepany and tell Lin ya the results. However, after thinking about it carefully, Qiao si si and Wang Li still felt that seeing it with their own eyes would give them a greater sense of aplishment. This time ... It was a matter of whether the two of them could be the chief designers. Quality was not something that Joes could decide, but rather the results of the test. A good quality product would naturally be a representative work. The top designers in the jewelry design industry were all famous. It was only a matter of time before they became famous. ¡°I hope the quality can be higher. After all, it¡¯s the blood, sweat, and tears of Xiaoya and I.¡± Wang Li said with a hint of hope as she reached out to move the instruments on the table. Hearing her words, Joes smiled and went forward to help,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m sure you can do it. I¡¯m confident in your abilities,¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll be counting on your blessings!¡± The two of them smiled at each other, took the equipment and jewelry to the car, and set off for the star Yuan store. Most of thepany¡¯s matters had already been settled by joesse, so there was no need for her to keep an eye on the situation all the time. Chapter 507

Five minutester, the car arrived at Xing Yuan store. Joes and Wang Li brought along the ss boxes and equipment that were filled with jewelry and entered the star dor shop. They immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Now that the sky was gradually getting dark, there were not as many customers in the store as before, and most of the employees were idle. ¡°Sisi, Lili, why are you back?¡± Lin ya didn¡¯t expect that Qiao sisi and Wang Li would actually return. She was very surprised to see them. She stood by the front desk and was clearly seen by joesse and the other woman. However, this time, Joes was not in the mood to tease her. Instead, she waved the ss box and the equipment in her hands. She smiled and exined,¡±I told you about this device before, right?¡± The jewelry you designed has beenpleted. That¡¯s why I brought the equipment here to show you the quality. If it¡¯s good, then the position of chief designer can be confirmed. ¡± The chief designer? Everyone was shocked by his words. The people who worked here had some understanding of the jewelry design industry. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be working in luxury goods. Almost every jewelry designer wanted to be a chief designer, but it was not easy to achieve. First, he had to look at thepany. Then, he had to look at ability. This was the most important point. ¡°Do you want toe with us to see the quality?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin ya ignored Li Chang who was watching her from the front desk and ran to Joes ¡®side. She smiled.¡±Of course I have to see it. I still don¡¯t know how good my jewelry design will be.¡± ¡°Me too!¡± Wang Li agreed. Then, the three of them entered the lounge of the star Yuan shop. As for the employees in the shop, they were also very curious. With Joes ¡®special permission, they were allowed to enter the lounge to watch. Only Li Chang temporarily chose to stay outside. Joes carefully ced the instrument on the table while Wang Li ced the ss box at the side. Her actions were also very cautious. No matter what it was, they were all very important to star essence. Lin ya stood on the side, a little agitated. It wasn¡¯t just her, but the employees who came to watch the show were also agitated. The store would only be good if thepany was good. ¡°Just leave it here.¡± Joes pped her hands and swept away the dust on her palms. Wang Li nodded and let go of the instrument in her hand, exposing the two items to the crowd. ¡°First of all, I¡¯ll introduce you to this device.¡± Joes smiled. Just when everyone thought that she was going to continue, she gave the right to speak to Wang Li. He didn¡¯t even feel embarrassed. Joes pulled Wang Li to the side of the machine and said with a smile,¡±¡±I¡¯ll let designer Wang exin the function of the device to you. When Ie back, we¡¯ll officially start testing the quality of the jewelry. How about it?¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± The employees were all very observant and said in unison. Joes nodded her head in satisfaction without the slightest bit of embarrassment. Wang Li had a better understanding of this equipment than she did. Instead of exining it himself, he might as well let Wang Li do it. Moreover, Li Chang was still outside. If Jossi wanted to take a look, why didn¡¯t he choose toe in? Jossi did not mind that the shop was dyed for a while, as it was almost time to get off work. At most, he would get off work earlier. After talking to the staff, joesse left the lounge for the time being and saw Li Chang, who was working hard at the front desk. Upon seeing this, joesse raised her brows and quickly walked to the front desk, asking,¡±¡±Li Chang, why don¡¯t you go in and take a look?¡± Li Chang¡¯s gaze fell on Joes and he smiled warmly.¡±¡±President Qiao, if I go in, there won¡¯t be anyone to look after the shop.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to.¡± Joes immediately disyed her wealth and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not early now. At most, you can get off work like before. Besides, we¡¯re just looking at the quality of the jewelry. It won¡¯t waste much time. Do you want to go and take a look?¡± In the face of Joes¡¯s temptation, Li Chang was indeed hesitant. But in the end, he still shook his head and refused,¡±¡±No need, President Qiao. You can go in and take a look. I¡¯ll stay here to look after the shop. You don¡¯t have to close the door early, I can just watch from here. ¡± Seeing that Li Chang¡¯s attitude was firm in an instant, Jossi choked and asked,¡±¡±Then Lin ya ...¡± Joes did not finish her sentence. Sometimes, some words didn¡¯t need to be said so clearly. Li Chang was very smart and he could understand what he meant. As if sensing joesse¡¯s mood, Li Chang¡¯s eyes shed with a smile and he said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President Qiao. I¡¯m not doing this because I don¡¯t like her. It¡¯s just that I¡¯d like to hear her talk to me about her matters. I¡¯m the only one who wants to hear it. ¡± What? Joes¡¯s eyes widened instantly and she felt terrible. She had just been forced to eat a mouthful of dog food. At this point, how could she still not understand? Lin ya must have discussed this with Li Chang Long ago. For example, she would read the results first and then pass it on to Li Chang. Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t Lin ya have called Li Chang along for such a thing? ¡°It seems like I was being a busybody this time. Sigh ... I¡¯m really worried about Lin ya¡¯s marriage.¡± Joes sighed helplessly and did not call for Li Chang anymore. Instead, she chose to return to the lounge. Since the young couple had already decided, she didn¡¯t need to do anything unnecessary. In the lounge. When Jossi entered, she realized that Lin ya and the others were already waiting for her. Wang Li¡¯s efficiency was very high, and she finished exining the effects of the instrument in a short time. ¡°I¡¯ve made you wait. ¡± Joes revealed an apologetic smile and walked to the side of the equipment, which was in front of the ss cab. ¡°As for the equipment, you should have already understood. I¡¯m sure Wang Li has already exined the quality of the jewelry to you just now.¡± Hearing joesse¡¯s words, everyone hurriedly nodded their heads. ¡°This time,¡± joesse continued,¡±the standard for Wang Li and Lin ya to be called chief designers is to produce at least one piece of high-quality jewelry. This is the threshold for ourpany¡¯s chief designer, and it¡¯s what every designer wants to do. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes were burning, and she agreed immediately. Although Wang Li didn¡¯t say anything, it was obvious that she had the same thoughts as Lin ya. They both had the dream of bing top designers. It was just that some things could not be achieved overnight. They had to be taken step by step, down-to-earth, and grow slowly. Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Show off properly

¡°Next, let¡¯s begin the quality test!¡± Joes quickly made her decision. The atmosphere in the waiting room turned heavy. After Joes put on the gloves, she opened the ss cab that contained all kinds of jewelry. The jewelry inside was all the painstaking work of Wang Li and Lin ya. At the thought of this, Joes could not help but smile. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she reached out and carefully took out a ne. It was an Emerald Ne, which was also Wang Li¡¯s design. It had a very pure and beautiful design. As long as he wore it, he would probably look a few years younger. The shape of the Jade was also a sudden idea of Wang Li ¡®s, but the Jade ne looked unusually harmonious. ¡°This is Wang Li¡¯s design.¡± Joes chuckled and carefully ced the Jade ne in the center of the jewelry testing equipment. In the beginning, Joes had also checked the quality of the jewelry, so she was notpletely clueless. This instrument was rtively easy to operate. As long as the jewelry was ced on the disc in the instrument, after a series of tests, a screen on it would disy the quality of the jewelry. Only a few jewelry designpanies in the country had enough use for such high-tech products. It was very expensive, but the only thing worth buying was that the test results were very urate. Until now, there had not been any mistakes. After Joes ced the ne on the round te, she waited for the results. In less than half a minute, the results were out. The disy quickly showed that it was an Emerald Ne of above-average quality. Upper-middle ss! Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. The quality of this piece could be said to be pretty good. Furthermore, this was only Wang Li¡¯s first piece. Although there weren¡¯t many pieces of jewelry in the ss cab, there was more than one. The jewelry on the market now was generally of medium quality, and even if they were of medium quality, the price was outrageously expensive. It was basically impossible to get a medium to high quality item at such a low cost. However, Wang Li and Lin ya had done it. The two of them would be supervising the process of making the jewelry and would also give some constructive opinions. No matter what, this quality was definitely good news for them! ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± It was unknown which employee in the crowd cheered first, but everyone began to get excited. Even Wang Li, who was originally very calm, didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry because of them. She felt warm in her heart. The waiting room instantly became lively, and everyone was smiling. Especially Lin ya, who was the happiest person in Wang Li¡¯s life. She couldn¡¯t help but walk over to Wang Li and Pat her on the shoulder.¡±Not bad, it¡¯s above-average quality.¡± Seeing her ruffian-like appearance, Wang Li smiled helplessly.¡±¡±It¡¯s just above average, what¡¯s there to be happy about?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still not happy?¡± Lin ya was very surprised and quickly said,¡±¡±You¡¯re too hard to satisfy. I¡¯m already very happy that I¡¯m above average.¡± Wang Li controlled her urge to roll her eyes. Taking advantage of her height, she knocked Lin ya¡¯s head and said,¡±¡±People have to look at the long term, understand?¡± ...¡±I know.¡± Lin ya held her throbbing head and looked at Wang Li with resentment. Upon seeing this, Joes, who was still standing beside the instrument, could not help butugh out loud. She was also in high spirits. The two of them had spent so much energy, and their efforts had not been in vain. This was the best proof. ¡°Alright,¡± she said,¡±everyone, quiet down. It¡¯s too early to be happy now. There are still so many pieces of jewelry that haven¡¯t been inspected.¡± It won¡¯t be toote to celebrate after we take out the other three pieces of jewelry for inspection. ¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Joes could not help but cover her ears from the response. She felt rather helpless, but she still happily picked up the next piece of jewelry. She took out the second piece of jewelry from the ss cab. It was an exquisite ring designed by Lin ya. Joes used to be Lin ya¡¯s colleague and knew that she had always liked diamond ring designs. In the past, she would often drag Joes out to shop for this hobby of hers, to look at the diamond rings in the shops. Now that Lin ya had be a jewelry designer under Xing Yuan design, she was no longer short of money and could design and even make her own jewelry. The diamond ring wasn¡¯t big and was very small. The diamond on it was in the shape of a diamond, and under the light, it refracted a dazzling light. Even joesse was stunned by the light, because she also really liked diamond rings. The main reason, in fact ... It was because Lin ya had written the pinyin of ¡®star origin¡¯ on the edge of the ring! This was what touched joesse. Perhaps in Lin ya¡¯s eyes, star Yuan design was a ce for her to grow. However, the time they spent in Shiyu¡¯spany was something that they would never forget. ¡°Next up is Lin ya¡¯s work. Let¡¯s see how good it is.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows and ced the diamond ring into the instrument with a smile on her face. This time, she had a premonition that it was very likely to exceed her original expectations and achieve higher achievements! This ring contained many of Lin ya¡¯s emotions. When the designer was able to express something with jewelry, it meant that she had seeded. ¡°Di!¡± The instrument made a sound, indicating that the test waspleted. Joes hurriedly took a look at the test results, which showed: It was a diamond ring of top quality. Superior quality! This was Lin ya¡¯s first time designing a high-quality product! ¡°F * ck! High-quality, I¡¯m not mistaken, right? I remember sister Wang Li said that it¡¯s very hard to find a superior ss. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s really high grade, I¡¯m not mistaken. ¡± ¡°Oh my God, sister Lin ya is so amazing. Not many designers can reach this quality now!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The surprised words continued, and as the protagonist, Lin ya was already frozen on the spot, unable to react. She had never expected that she would be able to design a piece of high-quality jewelry. Her initial confidence was just her own guess. When the truth was ced in front of her, she was a little unable to react. Wang Li seemed to have sensed Lin ya¡¯s mood. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she went forward to give her a big hug.¡±Okay, it¡¯s my turn to congratte you now, chief designer.¡± ¡°I ...¡± Lin ya was so excited that she didn¡¯t know what to do. She didn¡¯t even know how to express her emotions. She opened her mouth a few times, but in the end, she did not say anything. Joes also came to her side and congratted her on her achievements. ¡°Xiao Ya, you can go out and show off this time. You can even get a pay raise for the chief designer, right?¡± Chapter 509

Chapter 509: You will definitely seed

Trantor: 549690339

Joes¡¯s slightly smiling words sessfully made Lin ya lose her confidence and she didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. But she was right, the chief designer could get a pay raise. With this sum of money, no matter what Lin ya wanted to do, she would have a guarantee in the future and would definitely not lose out. ¡°That¡¯s a good thing!¡± Lin ya had always been a carefree person, so she quickly calmed down and began to celebrate in excitement. However, Li Chang wasn¡¯t in the lounge right now. Otherwise, he would be the one who should be congratted. After the atmosphere had quieted down a little, Jossi returned to the ss cab. The next piece of jewelry was still designed by Lin ya. It was a ruby ne, transparent and bright. It looked very good, but its quality was not high. It was only above average. Lin ya was still very happy. Her position as the chief designer was now in the bag, and she could even get a raise. It was a very good deal! And now ... It was time for thest piece of jewelry. There were only four pieces of jewelry in this batch, two of which were designed by Lin ya. As for the other two, they were made by Wang Li. At this moment, everyone¡¯s gazes were on Joes, their eyes filled with anticipation. Upon seeing this, Joes deliberately raised her voice and cleared her throat,¡±¡±This is thest piece of jewelry, and it was designed by Wang Li. It¡¯s considered the final piece of jewelry, and it has a very beautiful name, Blue Tears!¡± After saying that, joesse opened the ss cab again. She carefully opened the refrigerator and took out a blue bracelet. Each of the sapphires on the bracelet was in the shape of a drop of water, and their shape was beautiful. Not only that, just one look at it would stun everyone, making them reluctant to look away. This was the design n that Wang Li had alreadypleted previously. It was just that she had only started to touch up and produce it recently. When they were chatting earlier, Wang Li had also roughly mentioned her jewelry and what she wanted to express. The blue Tears were the tears of the people in the world, the tears of the heart. At the same time, blue was also the symbol of the sky. Wang Li hoped that the person who wore it would be happy and happy, able to fly freely in the sky like a bird. Jossi also liked this meaning very much. The blue tear was made up of more than a dozen blue gemstones, each of which had a small dark blue gemstone inside. It made the bracelet look even better. The corners of joesse¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she looked at Wang Li and said with a smile,¡±¡±I¡¯ll let you put this bracelet in your ce. ¡± This was Wang Li¡¯s blood, sweat, and tears, and it was also her representative work. It was definitely a better choice for her to personally put it in. ¡°Me?¡± Wang Li was a little shocked as she looked at Joes in shock. She quickly waved her hand and said,¡±¡±Sisi, you do it. I¡¯ll just wait for the results.¡± ¡°No!¡± Joes firmly rejected Wang Li¡¯s words and said with a frown,¡±¡±This is your bracelet, it¡¯s only natural for you toe. And ... The one who¡¯s dawdling isn¡¯t you, Wang Li. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Since you¡¯ve already said so, Lili, you should hurry up and go. ¡± Lin ya, who was beside Wang Li, also agreed with her. When he saw that she had not moved, he even gave her a light push on her back excitedly.¡±¡±Hurry up, hurry up.¡± ¡°Why are you suddenly pushing this matter to me?¡± Wang Li thought to herself. She felt a little helpless, but since he had pushed it to her, she could not refuse. At the thought of this, Wang Li went to Joes ¡®side and put on her white gloves. She looked at the ss cab next to her and took a deep breath. Then, she looked at Lin ya and the others and said,¡±¡±Then this time, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Sister Wang Li, you can definitely do it!¡± Everyone expressed their support, which also made Wang Li, who had always been rtively calm, chuckle and say,¡±¡±Thank you. Designing jewelry is something I really like. I also hope that one day, I can be a top designer, so that people will think of me when they mention jewelry. Because of this goal, I¡¯m willing to put in twice or even twice the effort of others for my dream. ¡± Dreams. It was a short word, but it carried the faith of countless people. This included joesse. She had chosen this profession because she loved jewelry design. Her goal had never changed, and that was to be a top designer in the jewelry design industry, just like Wang Li. That was what every jewelry designer thought. Even the carefree Lin ya had thought about it before. However, there was still a long way to go before it could be realized. After saying what was in her heart, Wang Li felt that her nervous emotions had calmed down. Lin ya already had high-quality jewelry, but her first piece of jewelry was only of medium-high-quality. Wang Li was also worried that her quality would not meet the requirements, which was why she was so nervous. ¡°Good luck!¡± Wang Li took a deep breath. After cheering herself on, she carefully ced the blue bracelet into the device under everyone¡¯s gaze. After that, everyone stared at the screen nervously, anticipating the subtitles that would appear. ¡°Drip, drip.¡± The time on the clock continued to pass, and the scene was so quiet that one could even hear the second hand turning. Everyone¡¯s heart began to beat along with the second hand, and the atmosphere was very tense. If they were already in such a state, it was even more so for Wang Li, who was the designer. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating. A minuteter. ¡°Di!¡± The device made a sound indicating that the test waspleted. The next moment, everyone stared at the screen. The words on the screen started to jump and finally stopped at a few words. It was a sapphire bracelet, 20% high quality. ¡°It¡¯s a high-grade item!¡± Lin ya eximed in excitement. She was even happier than when she had received the confirmation of this quality. She knew Wang Li¡¯s hard work the best. Now that she had achieved the corresponding results, she was naturally happy. ¡°Lili, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Lin yaplimented Wang Li and couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up. The employees around them were also very happy. 20% of the top quality was even higher than Lin ya ¡®s. From this, it could be seen that Wang Li¡¯s ability was very strong. ¡°Sister Wang Li, I knew you would seed!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great, ourpany has another great addition. 20% quality ... It¡¯s really too powerful!¡± ¡°If I tell the other designpanies now, they probably won¡¯t believe it.¡± ¡°Hahahaha.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ These shopping guides were all happy for Wang Li. The lounge was full of chatter, and it was very lively. Chapter 510

Chapter 510: So that¡¯s how it is

Trantor: 549690339

Joes finally broke into a smile as well, her eyes glimmering with joy. She retracted her gaze from the screen. The protagonist, Wang Li, who was beside him, was already in a daze. For a long time, she did not react to the test results that were only 20% above average. It wasn¡¯t that it was too low, it was too high! Her original n was at most ten percent, simr to Lin ya ¡®s. However, the result was different now. The quality was ten percent higher than Lin ya ¡®s. This wasn¡¯t just for show. When it came to high-quality jewelry, it was almost impossible to increase the quality by 10%. This required the designer to improve in all aspects to be able to reach such a level. ¡°I ... I seeded?¡± Wang Li muttered softly. She couldn¡¯t help but look at her fair hands. It was these hands that created the top 20% of the jewelry? ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯ve seeded,¡± Before Wang Li could react, Jossi appeared beside her and hugged her. This hug was very warm. It was so warm that Wang Li, who was supposed to be very calm, now felt a sour feeling in her nose and could not help but want to cry. After working hard in the jewelry design industry for so many years, she finally made some progress. ¡°Sister Wang Li, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Lin ya took the lead and led all the shopping guides to Wang Li¡¯s side and began to celebrate with her. Joes let go of Wang Li and put her hand on her shoulder. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Then ourpany has two chief designers now!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Wang Li nced at Lin ya, who was even more excited than she was, and helplessly retracted her gaze. The jewelry had all been inspected, and the results were very gratifying. ¡°ce these pieces of jewelry in the high-end jewelry area and take a good look at them. Do you understand?¡± Joes said. ¡°Understood!¡± All the salespeople responded. After the jewelry inspection was over, there was no need for everyone to continue staying there. After carefully cing the jewelry into the ss cab, they left the lounge one after another. Before they left, Joes called out to everyone and said,¡±¡±Just bring the bill to the finance department for the dinner after work tonight.¡± The resting room was silent for a moment before it erupted in cheers. ¡°President Qiao, you¡¯re brilliant!¡± ¡°President Qiao, that¡¯s great!¡± Joesse¡¯s mood was lifted by everyone¡¯s joyful expressions. They didn¡¯t stay in the lounge for long and left quickly. Their excited whispers could be heard from afar. In the lounge, there were only three people left, Jossi and the other two. ¡°Now ... Should I call you the chief designer?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Other than feeling happy, she really didn¡¯t know what to say about her two friends ¡®achievements. When he saw the high quality, he was also extremely excited. It was just that no one had shared this joy with him at that time. Qiao si si decided that she had to find a time to talk to Zheng ze. Hearing Qiao sisi¡¯s words, Lin ya blinked and put her arm around Wang Li¡¯s shoulder, saying,¡±¡±But you¡¯re still our President and chief designer ... We¡¯re still part of thepany.¡± Her tone was strange, as if she was a person designed by Xing Yuan in life and a ghost designed by him in death. Even Joes could not help butugh. She suddenly thought of something and quickly said,¡±¡±Oh right, there¡¯s something I forgot to tell you. Come with me.¡± With that, Joes hurriedly left the lounge, looking a little anxious. Seeing her like this, Wang Li and Lin ya looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other¡¯s eyes. What was it? ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look. ¡± Lin ya raised her eyebrows and immediately followed. Wang Li also nodded and followed behind the two. Star Yuan¡¯s shop was veryrge. Other than the lounge, there was also Li Chang¡¯s exclusive office and some other ces. Joes was heading to Li Chang¡¯s office. ¡­¡­¡­ A momentter, in the huge office. ¡°Wow, so this is Li Chang¡¯s office.¡± Lin ya stood in the middle of the office and looked at the simple but Grand office. She couldn¡¯t bear to part with it. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the office of your husband?¡± Wang Li nced around. Her tone had a hint of ridicule, and her eyes were smiling. Seeing this, Joes could not help butugh.¡±Yes, yes. This is the office of the one from your family.¡± ¡°What are you two talking about? I¡¯m not even together with him! You¡¯re not allowed to go out and spread this!¡± Lin ya was a little embarrassed and her face turned red from their words. ¡°I know, I know,¡± Wang Li waved her hand. After a round of teasing, it was time to get down to business. Joes came to the desk and opened a browser on theputer. Then, she entered the address of the website. She remembered the address very clearly. It was the information that Zheng Zeyi had given her. Now that Lin ya and Wang Li could also make high-quality jewelry, they were naturally qualified to be part of the designers on the website. In fact, there were quite a few mid-level designers on this website. In fact, the majority of them were mid-level. After he entered the search, the webpage was disyed. After ncing at it, Joes turned theptop to Lin ya and Wang Li and said,¡±¡±This is the website that I want to introduce to you.¡± Hearing that, Lin ya and Wang Li quickly moved closer and saw everything on the web page clearly. Just like how joesse was shocked when she first saw the website, she took a long time to recover from her shock. ¡°This is a website that you guys should know more or less after you¡¯ve seen it. It¡¯s a global website. If you use your eyes, it¡¯s also a paradise for jewelry designers. Here, you can see the jewelry designers on the ranking list and their representative works. ¡± At this point, Joes paused. She looked at Lin ya and Wang Li and said,¡±I¡¯m introducing this website to you now in the hope that you can join it. As the saying goes,petition leads to progress.¡± There are only a handful of people in the country who can achieve the high quality that you guys have produced. It would be a pity if you don¡¯t get in. ¡± Even though Joes had said that, she had never brought out the ¡®deep sea¡¯ series. It wasn¡¯t that he wanted to hide anything, but he was always dyed by something. As time passed, Joes forgot about this matter. ¡°I see ... I understand now!¡± Lin ya understood quickly and gave Jossi a big thumbs up. This kind of website definitely had more advantages than disadvantages. It could increase a lot of knowledge about jewelry design. It would also allow Lin ya and Wang Li to clearly see their own position so that they wouldn¡¯t lose their way and would be satisfied to a certain extent. High quality was good, but that was definitely not their end. Chapter 511

Wang Li smiled and said firmly,¡±¡±My goal is to be a top designer. It¡¯s just a piece of cake for me to be at this level.¡± ¡°Not just you. This is my goal as well.¡± Joes said. ¡°And me!¡± Lin ya was afraid that she didn¡¯t raise her hand fast enough, so she immediately expressed that she was definitely on the same side as the two of them. Looking at this scene, joesse raised her eyebrows and her smile became even more radiant. She opened the login page on the website for them to see. ¡°The first thing you need to do on the website is to register an ount, which requires some basic identity information. You don¡¯t have to worry about the security. I¡¯ve already checked, and it¡¯s absolutely safe. There¡¯s one more problem. After you register, the website staff will enter the results, which means that the jewelry you design must be absolutely authentic. ¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were also shining. This was the reason why this website could obtain the recognition of so many jewelry designers. Any work that wasn¡¯t designed by the designer or those who took advantage of the situation would be cklisted by the website. The only bad thing was that not many people knew about this website. Only a few jewelry designers knew about it. There were some unknown but famous jewelry designers who would also appear on the rankings. Not every piece of work had to be exposed. This also depended on the designer¡¯s own will. After the exnation, Lin ya and Wang Li couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of yearning. ¡°After entering the ranking list of this website, you might receive a lot of recruitment calls. After all, those who can make it to the rankings are not simple people. Thepany will definitely not lose out if we recruit them. ¡± Joes snapped her fingers and told him the truth. Wang Li and Lin ya were so young, but they were able to reach their current level, which was already beyond the reach of most people. Naturally, there would bepanies with good vision who would notice them, and it was possible for them to be recruited. It wasn¡¯t a possibility, but a certainty. This was an opportunity that they couldn¡¯t miss. Lin ya¡¯s expression was firm.¡±Sisi, don¡¯t worry. The treatment of star Yuan is so good. Wouldn¡¯t he be a fool to leave?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you an idiot?¡± Wang Li asked. ¡°I am?¡± Lin ya waspletely enraged. She took a step forward and was about to scratch Wang Li, but she was stopped by Jossi. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s get down to business. Do you guys want to consider registering for this website?¡± At the moment, this matter was more important. Joes would not be led astray by the happy characters of these two people. ¡°Of course I do. How do I register?¡± Hearing Lin ya¡¯s question, Joes opened the registration page and showed the requirements to the two of them. The requirements weren¡¯t high. They were all very basic information, such as mobile phone numbers and social media ounts. The website didn¡¯t need important information like ID cards. Otherwise, some designers would be more hesitant to register. Lin ya and Wang Li were able to ept the conditions of registration and sessfullypleted the registration under joesse¡¯s guidance. ¡°Wait for me. The news about the quality of the jewelry has to be uploaded to the website. Otherwise, the ranking will not appear.¡± Joes exined. After she finished speaking, she quickly went to get the jewelry in the ss cab and took photos of them. There were also special photos taken for the test results. For the website, this was still not very safe. That was why they decided to review the work and let the staff confirm it again. At first, it would be reviewed by the website¡¯s staff. If the staff personally reviewed it, it would be the second round of review. In other words, even if they registered and sent the photos directly, they could still temporarily rank after the review. As for whether or not it could remain on the rankings, it would also depend on whether or not the design was personally designed by you and whether or not you had the ability to do so. By the time he was done with everything, half an hour had passed. The clock on the wall was ticking, and time was also passing by. ¡°Still not done?¡± This was the umpteenth time Lin ya had said that, and she was still munching on the biscuits she had brought. Wang Li, on the other hand, was very quiet at the side. From time to time, she would pick up her phone and watch some funny videos to pass the time. He saw that theputer page was still in the review process. More than 20 minutes had passed since he had started. There were not many people who registered for the website, so the first review should be done very quickly. Joes raised her eyebrows, picked up the mouse, and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll ask customer service, it shouldn¡¯t take long. ¡± Just as she was about to ask customer service, the review page finally changed, showing that she had passed the review. Lin ya had been paying attention to the review. After seeing that it had passed, she didn¡¯t even bother to eat the biscuit in her hand and just threw it aside. ¡°Sisi,¡± she said excitedly,¡±the verification is sessful. Does this mean that the registration isplete?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Joes nodded. Wang Li also quietly turned off her phone and went to theputer with the other two. The corners of Joes ¡®lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile as she said,¡±¡±Now that you¡¯ve registered, I can take a look at your rankings. This website¡¯s ranking is very urate. Some of the unmeasurable ones will also be in the same position. ¡± Every jewelry designer¡¯s style was different, so it was easier to judge at the beginning. However, once one became a top designer, it would be difficult to continue measuring. For this reason, many designers were on the same ranking. Their strength was on par, so there was no need to fight it out. After that, Jossi opened up the ranking list for Lin ya and Wang Li to take a look. The ranking list was a littleplicated. There were three levels in total: top designer, senior designer, and intermediate designer. An intermediate designer was considered a threshold, and those who did not reach this threshold would not be able to leave their names on the rankings. It would be good for him to look at the works designed by these people. Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but rub her hands in excitement. Her eyes were glued to the screen, unwilling to leave. Wang Li was the same. Very quickly, joesse opened the door to the senior designer category and saw the rankings of the two. Lin ya was in the 1000s, while Wang Li was slightly better off, in the 900s. ¡°So low ...¡± Hearing Lin ya¡¯sints, Jossi could not help butugh and say,¡±¡±Is this ranking really considered low? You have to know that all the elite jewelry designers from all over the world are gathered here. ¡± Chapter 512

¡°Other than you guys, I don¡¯t know how many other people with extremely strong abilities in this line of work are participating. All of them are excellent in design. There are also people who exist in legends. These people exist to let designers not forget their roots and understand the meaning of their designs. ¡± Joes exined one by one, her expression extremely serious. After her exnation, Lin ya and Wang Li had a better understanding of the so-called ranking and had their own opinions. ¡°Sisi, then those top jewelry designers should be in the top ranks, right?¡± Lin ya asked. Hearing that, Joes confirmed that it was indeed so. In order to show the truth, she switched the list to the top designers ¡®list, and suddenly, she attracted a lot of attention. All of them were big shots in the jewelry design industry, and they all had their own styles and design concepts. Each and every one of them was a goal for them to grow. Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation as she said,¡±¡±The first ce on this ranking, Floria genas. You two should have heard of her, right?¡± The entire office fell silent. Lin ya and Wang Li maintained their shocked expressions. Their mouths were open for a long time, but they didn¡¯t know what to say. In the end, Wang Li swallowed her saliva and said,¡±¡±Of course I know. He¡¯s the most famous person in the jewelry design industry! She has passed away for some time and I¡¯ve always admired her. ¡± ¡°Me too!¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes lit up. Almost everyone in the jewelry design industry had heard of this name, because her name was like thunder to the ears. Jossi smiled and said,¡±that¡¯s right. This top designer has passed away many years ago. However, her reputation has always been there.¡± It¡¯s also because of this that somepanies use this to increase theirpany¡¯s reputation in order to recruit people. ¡± ¡°This is really too much!¡± Lin ya expressed her disdain for such apany. This top designer didn¡¯t belong to any forces. As a top figure in the design industry, he shouldn¡¯t be used as a gimmick. Lily genas had be a top designer since a long time ago, and now she was The Last Faith of jewelry designers. No one had ever doubted this. The jewelry she designed had always been unparalleled works of art. They had been passed down to this day and were also widely known in the circle. After that, joesse showed Lin ya and Wang Li the other top designers on the list. To be able to be on this ranking, all of them were capable. Lin ya and Wang Li were alsopletely captivated by the website that belonged to the jewelry designer. It was much better than they had imagined. The two of them seemed to be behind by a lot of names, but in fact, it was already very good that they could be ranked in the current position in the world. As for joesse ... She still had to wait for the ¡°deep sea¡± series to appear before she could raise her ranking. She had no idea how far she would grow by then. ¡°Da da.¡± The sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard rang out continuously, filling the entire office. Sitting in front of theputer desk was Lin ya, who had just gained a great interest in the website. She stared at the various contents on the website and couldn¡¯t help but smile. Wang Li was in a slightly better state. Other than looking at it from time to time, she spent most of her time thinking about her current design concept. At this moment, Joes¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°You have her perfume on you ...¡± The system¡¯s automatic ringtone rang, and even joesse felt embarrassed, her face turning red. It was a good thing that Lin ya¡¯s entire focus was on the new website and she had no time to mock Joes. Wang Li did not tease him. She smiled and looked away. Qiao si turned on her phone and saw that it was Zheng Zeyi calling. ¡°Zeyi?¡± When she saw the name, Joes twisted her head slightly. She felt that something might have happened, so she walked to a corner and picked up the phone. ¡°Hello?¡± Just as Joes spoke, she received a reply very quickly. After hearing her voice, the person on the other end of the phone couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and say,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re in the shop now, right?¡± ¡°Right!¡± Joes nodded. She didn¡¯t think too much about it. It was normal for Zheng Zeyi to know that she was in the store. After thinking for a while, joesse told Zheng Zeyi about the ranking and shared her joy,¡±¡±Zeyi, Did you know? We checked Lin ya¡¯S and Wang Li¡¯s jewelry just now, and they¡¯re all of high quality!¡± Someymen might not know about the high quality. However, Zheng Zeyi was certain that he was the one who had given this equipment to joesse personally. It would be strange if he said that he did not know about it. At this point, Joes became even more delighted. ¡°That¡¯s why they¡¯re both thepany¡¯s chief designers. With them around, I don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± Joes¡¯s own design ability was very strong, but her ability alone was limited. As thepany¡¯s president, she was naturally happy that thepany was full of talents. Zheng Zeyi did not interrupt her as he listened to her express her joy. He listened attentively until the end. In the end, he smiled and said,¡±I know about the ranking.¡± ¡°You know about it?!¡± This time, it was Jossi¡¯s turn to be shocked. She was sure that she had never mentioned this before, and it had just happened. Just as Qiao Si was ridiculing Zheng ze¡¯s godly prediction, he revealed the truth.¡±I didn¡¯t find out from you. I just happened to see Lin ya¡¯s post when I was scrolling through my WeChat moments.¡± When he said that, Jossi immediately understood. Lin ya was extremely excited when she found out about the rankings. After that, she fiddled with her phone for a while, but it took less than a minute, so joesse did not pay much attention to it. Now that he thought about it, he must have posted it on his moments at that time. As for the fact that Zheng Zeyi and Lin ya were WeChat friends, it was not something to be surprised about. Qiao sisi and Lin ya were friends, and Zheng Zeyi would not let go of this opportunity to get to know her better. ¡°Oh right, I made a reservation at a restaurant tonight. Do you want to have dinner with me?¡± After hearing that, joesse thought for a while and asked,¡±¡±What time is it?¡± ¡°I¡¯lle pick you up in half an hour, how about that?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile. Half an hourter, it was almost time to close the shop at Xing Yuan. Zheng Zeyi could pick her up for dinner. Joes did not think too much about it and immediately agreed,¡±¡±Okay, thene pick me up after work. I¡¯ll wait for you in the shop.¡± Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Stillcking a little

Trantor: 549690339

¡°Alright, you can y by yourself for a while.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was very doting, so much so that joesse had the illusion that she was still a child in his eyes. But to have such a doting boyfriend, no matter who it was, they would feel happy. It was the same for Joes. In the sweet atmosphere, the two hung up the phone. She smiled and put her phone back into her pocket. As soon as she raised her head, she met Wang Li and Lin ya¡¯s scrutinizing eyes. Looking at this scene, the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. She could not help but take a step back and asked,¡±¡±You guys ... Why do you keep looking at me?¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes glowed with the light of gossip.¡±¡±Sisi, were you on the phone with President Zheng just now?¡± Wang Li did not say anything, but her gaze never left Joes. Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes and said helplessly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you already know? Zeyi is my boyfriend. What¡¯s so strange about me calling him? you two don¡¯t have to make such a big fuss. ¡± The office fell into a brief silence. Lin ya patted it lightly and said regretfully,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s a habit of mine. I forgot about this for a moment.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really good at talking to people and ghosts. ¡± Wang Li stood at the side and ridiculed him without mercy. Joes decided to add fuel to the fire as she smiled and said,¡±¡±Yeah, ording to the current situation, you and Li Chang¡¯s situation should be the most important.¡± ¡°Li Chang and I ...¡± Lin ya blinked her eyes. At first, she was a little confused, but when she came back to her senses, her face turned red and she looked away. As she fanned her face to lower the heat, she said absent-mindedly,¡±¡±What are you guys talking about? I¡¯m not in that kind of rtionship with him yet. ¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Joes raised her eyebrows. Neither of them believed Lin ya¡¯s words. After spending so much time together in the lounge, there must be some clues. ¡°Just like this!¡± Lin ya¡¯s expression was firm. Her eyes flickered as she looked at the door and quickly walked over.¡±Alright, alright. I¡¯m going to the toilet now.¡± The figure that fled quickly disappeared at the door. Looking at this scene, Joes and Wang Li bothughed softly. She said rather helplessly,¡±¡±Little ya is still very embarrassed.¡± ¡°But sometimes, you can be very thick-skinned.¡± Wang Li added mercilessly. Not long after, Lin ya returned, and her flushed face finally calmed down. In the next half an hour, they were in front of theputer, trying to figure out the other functions of the website. Joes had only just obtained the website link not long ago, so it was impossible for her to have a thorough understanding of the website. There were still many aspects that she was unclear about. Now that the three of them had juste into contact, they could also get to know each other. In addition to the rankings, the website could also engage in private conversations and business cooperation, so the degree of privacy was very high. However, if he wanted to chat privately, his identity had to be verified to avoid some scammers. ¡°This function is not bad.¡± Jossi¡¯s eyes lit up. This way, anyone who saw the rankings on the website and wanted to work with them could directly contact Lin ya and Wang Li. It was already very outstanding for them to have such strength at their age, not to mention that they had the support of Xing Yuan design. Even if she were to take on some work in private, Joes would not say anything. Lin ya snapped her fingers and said,¡±¡±When the timees, write a note. I won¡¯t ept private cooperation.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you take private jobs?¡± This time, not only was Qiao si si shocked, even Wang Li was a little shocked as her gaze fell on Lin ya. It wasn¡¯t that he had to take on private orders, but it was a good thing to earn some extra money to train himself. Lin ya didn¡¯t think much of the two¡¯s surprise, so she shook her head and said,¡±¡±Although my family isn¡¯t as well-off as yours, Lili, our family business is on the right track now. In terms of money ... I¡¯m not short of it for the time being. I should take this opportunity to learn more. ¡± Taking orders was a very time-consuming task for Lin ya. After she said that, Jossi and Wang Li understood what she meant and smiled. The other functions of the website were also more or less explored by Joes and the other two girls through the introduction of the website. It was also time to get off work in the shop, and the shop assistants changed out of their business clothes and left. ¡°Sisi, Xiao Ya, I have to go too.¡± Wang Li looked at the time and seemed a little anxious.¡±¡±I¡¯m going home for dinner today. If I go backte, they¡¯ll definitely scold me. So I¡¯ll be leaving first, see you tomorrow!¡± Since she had already said so, Lin ya and Joes naturally greeted her,¡±¡±Alright, see you tomorrow.¡± Watching Wang Li¡¯s back as she left, Lin ya began to make ns in her heart. She couldn¡¯t help but look in the direction of the front desk. Joes instantly guessed Lin ya¡¯s thoughts and said with a smile,¡±¡±You want to get Li Chang to send you home, right?¡± ¡°I ...¡± Lin ya was stunned for a moment, and her face slowly turned red.¡±Sisi, how did you know?¡± She couldn¡¯t help but think to herself, could it be that my thoughts are already so obvious to this extent? As it turned out, it was. Joes¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she teased,¡±¡±I can tell from your expression and eyes. If you want to do this, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t do it. I can help you, right?¡± ¡°Can I really do it?¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. She really wanted to be alone with Li Chang. After all, this was the fastest way for two people to grow closer. ¡°Of course! Come with me. ¡± Joesse immediately decided to help Lin ya and pulled her out of the office. In the shop, most of the shop assistants had already left, leaving only Li Chang alone at the front desk to deal with some data for the day. Upon seeing this, Joes took a few steps forward with Lin ya and said,¡±¡±Li Chang, how¡¯s today¡¯s sales?¡± After getting to know each other better, Joes no longer addressed each other as if they were strangers when it was time to get off work. Li Chang smiled and took out a document that was printed on theputer and passed it to Qiao si. ¡°Today¡¯s business is not bad,¡± he said with a smile.¡±But it¡¯s still a little worse than the first few days.¡± ¡°This is normal. It¡¯s fine.¡± Joes waved her hand indifferently. When the store first opened, it was also the time when everyone felt the most fresh about the store. It was not a new thing to visit it a few times a day. Chapter 514

Chapter 514: A heartwarming boyfriend

Trantor: 549690339

However, as time passed, this sense of novelty would disappear. Only the quality and design of the jewelry in the store could really attract customers to buy jewelry. ¡°Let me see.¡± Joes took the document and looked at the sales volume. It was indeed very good as Li Chang had said. On the first day, there was a turnover of more than 200000 Yuan, and today, it had reached 70000 to 80000 Yuan. It seemed like there was a huge difference, but it was actually slowly stabilizing. This was also what joesse hoped for. ording to this trend, he could consider opening a branch store after a few more months or a period of time. However, joesse still had to think about the matter of the branch before she could make a decision. There were too many things that she had to do, and she couldn¡¯t handle them now. Thepany¡¯s renovation problem had also been solved. After a few more days, they could all move upstairs. The territory had suddenly expanded so much that no matter which Department it was, there were still many things to do. ¡°Not bad, keep it up.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled sweetly, and returned the document to Li Chang. Then, she nced at the darkening sky outside and mumbled,¡±¡±I almost forgot. It seems like I still have something to deal with. It seems like I have to leave quickly.¡± Then, Li Chang¡¯s hand paused, and he nced at Lin ya very subtly. In the blink of an eye, another few dozen seconds had passed. Hearing no response from Li Chang, Jossi had another n in mind. She looked at the time on her watch and said with an anxious expression,¡±¡±I have to go. Xiao Ya, I can¡¯t see you off today. However, it¡¯s not safe for a girl to go home alone. If possible, let Li Chang send you home. ¡± After that, the two of them looked at Li Chang. ¡°That¡¯s not a good idea,¡± Lin ya said in a reserved manner.¡±I¡¯m going to trouble you too much, manager li.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all. ¡± Li Chang revealed a warm smile and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing. Sess! At this moment, joesse and Lin ya secretly exchanged nces. The n this time was perfect. Of course, she felt that it was very likely that Li Chang knew what they were thinking, but he just went with the flow and didn¡¯t point it out. He was interested in Lin ya as well, so he couldn¡¯t possibly reject her. Qiao si trusted Li Chang¡¯s character, and she was very assured to hand Lin ya over to him. ¡°That¡¯s good. You two go back togetherter. I¡¯ll be leaving first. It won¡¯t be good if it¡¯s toote. ¡± Joes pretended to be anxious and jogged out of the shop, leaving Li Chang and Lin ya with arge space. The bright lights in the shop shone on Li Chang¡¯s body. Lin ya was a little dazed and only reacted after a long time. ¡°Give me a moment.¡± A gentle voice sounded in her ear. Lin ya blinked and saw that Li Chang was about to go to the changing room, so she quickly nodded.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± By the time Li Chang finished changing his clothes, three minutes had already passed. He was dressed in casual clothes, but it made him look even more sunny and gentle, making people reluctant to look away. Lin ya liked Li Chang at first because of his looks, but now she liked Li Chang¡¯s personality more. He was as gentle as Jade, like a young master from a big family, and knew how to take care of other people¡¯s feelings. His professional abilities were even more impressive. Otherwise, Li Chang would not have been specially assigned by Zheng Zeyi to be the manager of Joes¡¯s shop. From the moment he became the store manager, joesse had not worried much about the store. It could be said that she was living a Wonderful Life of being a boss who did nothing. ¡°Still not leaving?¡± Seeing that Lin ya was stunned and didn¡¯t react for a long time, Li Chang chuckled and knocked her head gently. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin ya came back to her senses and looked at Li Chang resentfully with her head in her hands. The force was not heavy, but the sudden knock made her want to curse, but for the sake of her image, she swallowed it in the end. Upon seeing this, Li Chang reached out and touched the ce where he had knocked and asked,¡±¡±Does it hurt? I didn¡¯t use much strength. ¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Lin ya felt her heart melt as she felt the gentle touch on the top of her head. She ced the nted bag on the other side of her shoulder so that it wouldn¡¯t block the distance between her and Li Chang. Other than that, Lin ya even shamelessly moved closer and whispered,¡±¡±Then let¡¯s go. Thank you for sending me home.¡± After saying that, she actually felt a little nervous. This was also a method that Lin ya had seen on the inte. A man chasing a woman was separated by a mountain, and a woman chasing a man by a veil. This saying didn¡¯t apply everywhere. If one wanted to pursue a man who was capable, handsome, and intelligent, one had to be shameless. As long as he persevered, the possibility of him conquering it was still very high. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± To her surprise, Li Chang took the initiative and held Lin ya¡¯s hand. After the two of them locked the shop¡¯s door, they left the star Yuan shop together and headed home. The dim yellow streetmp shone on the two of them, making them look like a perfect match. ¡°A match!¡± Joes could not help butment as she walked out from the corner of the shop. She had not left since the beginning, hiding in a corner and observing the two of them. For one, she wanted to see how Lin ya and Li Chang would develop. She was a very gossipy person sometimes. Secondly, they had agreed that once Zheng ze came back to pick her up, she would naturally have to wait here. As Lin ya and Li Chang¡¯s figures gradually disappeared, Jossi retracted her gaze and stood at the entrance of the shop, waiting quietly. The time ... Was about right. Jossi raised her head to look at the sky. The weather in city h was still very changeable. One second it was sunny, and the next, it could start to thunder and rain. Just like now. At the thought of this, Joes hurriedly took out her phone and took a look. Indeed, the weather forecast had said that there would be rain today. A minuteter, the pitter-patter of the rain could be heard. Apanied by the sound of the rain, Qiao si sat on a chair beside the shop. She scrolled through her WeChat moments while waiting for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arrival. After a while, he arrived. ¡°Zhenzhen ...¡± The sound of tires screeching across the ground was heard. Upon hearing this sound, Joes raised her head abruptly and saw the light in front of her. It was the headlights of a white car. From afar, she could see a handsome man sitting in the driver¡¯s seat. Before joesse could get up and walk over, Zheng Zeyi opened the car door and walked over with a ck umbre. He got full marks for the details and was definitely a heartwarming boyfriend. Chapter 515

Chapter 515: You decide

Trantor: 549690339

Joes¡¯s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She got up and hid under Zheng Zeyi¡¯s umbre.¡±Your timing is just right. It¡¯s exactly half an hour.¡± She only said that after looking at the time. It had indeed been half an hour since Zheng ze made the call. It was only a minute or two away. Zheng ze reached out to pinch Joes ¡®chubby cheeks and said lovingly,¡±¡±I¡¯m stillte. If I had known that you would get off work earlier than usual, I would havee earlier. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s a small matter. Alright, let¡¯s go eat.¡± Jossi did not linger on this topic. Otherwise, she had a premonition that a certain man would probably talk aboutpensation. As forpensation ... Nothing good ever came out of it! It had to be said that the current Qiao sisi had a very good understanding of Zheng Zeyi. It was better for a man to be a little bad to attract love. ¡°Bang!¡± Zheng ze closed the door, got into the driver¡¯s seat, started the car, and drove to the ce he had decided on. Joes leaned against the window and looked at the water flowing on the ss. Even her mood could not help but rx a little. ¡°Zeyi, where are you taking me to for dinner?¡± sheughed and turned to him. On the phone, Zheng Zeyi only mentioned going to a restaurant for a meal, but he did not mention which restaurant he was going to. As a resident of city h, joesse was well aware of most of the restaurants in the city. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand on the steering wheel paused for a moment.¡±¡±It¡¯s a couple¡¯s restaurant. It just opened recently. You probably haven¡¯t heard of it.¡± ¡°Just opened?¡± Jossi was a little confused. She really did not know that a new restaurant had opened in the city recently. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s good-looking eyebrows raised slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll Take You There to have a look and you¡¯ll know. It should taste good. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes nodded. After that, Zheng Zeyi sped up the car. In addition, there were not many cars on the road on a rainy day, so it could be said to be very smooth. The restaurant he mentioned wasn¡¯t far from star Yuan, only about a ten-minute drive. 12 minutester. The car arrived at the parking lot in front of the restaurant. Other than eating them, there were many cars parked in the parking lot. It could be seen that the business of this restaurant was good. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you in to have a look. ¡± Zheng Zeyi held Jossi¡¯s hand and entered the restaurant. The name of the restaurant was happiness. It was a very simple name, but the decorations were theplete opposite of the name. It was quite luxurious. There were flower pots on both sides, and they were all extremely exquisite and expensive flowers, emitting a faint fragrance. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they could hear the slow and soothing music ying inside, which made them involuntarily immersed in it. As soon as the two of them entered, a waiter came up to them and respectfully said,¡±¡±Hello, do you need a private room?¡± ¡°I need it.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded. After telling the waiter his reservation number, the waiter understood and brought the two of them to their private room. After passing through the corridor, the group of people stopped in front of the private room. Zheng Zeyi looked at the waiter and said,¡±¡±We can order on theputer. You can go down first.¡± ¡°Alright, guest.¡± After saying that, the waiter left for the time being while Zheng Zeyi pushed the door open and walked in with Qiao si si. It looked like a two-person private room, but the actual space was veryrge. The lights were very bright, and there was a faint ambiguous atmosphere. At this point, Qiao sisi finally understood why Zheng Zeyi said that this was a couple¡¯s restaurant. This could be clearly seen from the decoration of the private room. Zheng Zeyi pulled out a chair for Joes in a very gentlemanly manner. After she took her seat, he sat opposite her. There was a love pie on the table, which was specially used by the restaurant to order food. The dishes would be delivered ording to the room number. Zheng Zeyi opened up the love-themed app and slid his long fingers across it. He asked,¡±¡±Sisi, is there anything you¡¯d like to eat?¡± ¡°Let me see, if you¡¯re treating, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony with you.¡± Joes smiled so much that her cheeks showed little dimples, making her look extremely adorable. After she finished speaking, she picked up the pie and looked at the menu inside. However, after hearing this, Zheng Zeyi fixed his gaze on her and said in a serious tone,¡±¡±As long as you want, I can treat you to a meal at any time. Or should I say ... My wife. What¡¯s mine is yours, so you don¡¯t have to be polite with me. ¡± At the end of his sentence, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a devilish smile. His eyes were even more mesmerizing and alluring. F * ck! At that moment, Joes could not even continue looking at the menu. Her fingers trembled slightly as she forced herself to calm down. ¡°How can he be so good at running!¡± Joes appeared calm on the surface, but she was roaring in her heart. She wanted to escape from this ce right now, but she knew that it was impossible. Thinking of this, she cleared her throat and coughed twice.¡±¡±Cough cough ...¡± Just as she was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, she looked up and met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep eyes. The meaning behind his words was very obvious. Seeing this gaze, her cheeks blushed slightly, like a delicious red apple, so tempting that one couldn¡¯t help but bite it. Even Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened as he looked determined to win. That night, someone was destined to be tortured. ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll order now!¡± Joes took a deep breath and finally managed to suppress the throbbing in her heart temporarily. The heat on her face also gradually subsided. She didn¡¯t know how red her face was just now. Otherwise, she would know what embarrassment was. Putting that matter to the back of her mind, joesse did not look at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face. Instead, she looked at the menu seriously. After a while, she couldn¡¯t help but Twitch her lips. It was indeed a couple¡¯s restaurant! Joes was unable to ept the artistic names of the dishes on the menu. However, she did not say anything since this restaurant was new. ¡°Do you want to eat steak or Italy?¡± The clear voice pulled Zheng Zeyi back from his thoughts. He looked at Jossi who was looking at the menu and said,¡±¡±You decide,¡± ¡°Me?¡± Joesse was taken aback. She did not expect Zheng ze to even hand over the choice of the dishes to her. However, the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but curve up. She had to admit that the feeling of being loved and trusted by someone with all his heart was really very healing. ¡°Then leave it to me!¡± Joes promised. Her fingers continued to fall on the love pie, choosing the dishes on it. In just a few minutes, she had finished processing all the dishes. Chapter 516

Zheng Zeyi took a look from afar. He could not see the exact dishes, but he did see that joesse had ordered 13 dishes. They were not all staple foods. After-meal desserts and appetizers were served, and the waiters would serve the dishes in order. Assistant li had rmended this restaurant to Zheng Zeyi. He had heard that the food here was good and that it was a couple¡¯s restaurant. Even if Zheng Zeyi had heard all this, he might not havee. There was another reason that attracted him. Joes waspletely unaware of a certain man¡¯s thoughts. However, Joes noticed his burning gaze and could not help but frown.¡±¡±Zeyi, why do you keep looking at me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly. Just as joesse was about to continue questioning him in disbelief, he said,¡±¡±Actually, it¡¯s because ... You¡¯re good looking.¡± She knew that these were Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heartfelt words! Joesse was ted by thepliment and was ted. She no longer cared that Zheng Zeyi had been staring at her. It was just a small matter. Furthermore, Zheng Zeyi was her boyfriend, and it would not hurt to be looked at. The atmosphere became more and more ambiguous, as if pink bubbles were floating around. As if she did not feel it, Joes seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked,¡±¡±By the way, Zeyi, how¡¯s yourpany¡¯s project going?¡± She was asking about the project that Zheng Zeyi had mentioned that would allow the Zheng Corporation to take a step further. Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly.¡±¡±It¡¯s going well. The Zheng¡¯s Financial Group has started to expand overseas.¡± This was definitely good news for them. Qiao si si was also happy for Zheng Zeyi,¡±¡±That¡¯s great. The Zheng family¡¯s power will increase again.¡± ¡°Yes, Mrs. Zheng,¡± This form of address once again made Jossi blush slightly. However, this time, she quickly calmed down. Sometimes, one could really get used to it after being teased a lot. The two of them had also forgotten about Zhu Di, who had specially returned to the country for Zheng Zeyi. The main reason was that she rarely came out to make her presence known. Previously, when Jianghai hired Brother ck Dragon and the rest to deal with Joes, the other group of people were hired by Ma Li. His original intention was to capture Jossi and make her disappear from the scenepletely so that Zhu Di could make room for the position of Mrs. Zheng. In the end, Brother ck Dragon beat him to it, so he gave up. Naturally, Zhu Di and Zhu Di were happy. With someone helping them, they wouldn¡¯t have to waste their energy. They should be happy. Hence, they did not make a move and had been observing the situation. They were all happy to see the abandoned factory being burned down and wanted Joes to die inside. In the end, Joes and the rest managed to survive. On the other hand, Brother ck Dragon and his gang, as well as the mastermind, Jiang hai, were in a very serious situation. Brother ck Dragon and his men had lost their lives. It was hard to say for sure now in Jianghai, but sooner orter, they would have to go to prison. Whether they could survive was a problem. After finding out about this matter, Zhu Di and Ma Li both felt that there was more to it than meets the eye, so they went into hiding for the time being. They didn¡¯t dare to make a move rashly. This was the real reason why the two of them had not appeared in front of Joes and Zheng ze recently. If nothing had happened, Zhu Di and Zhu Di would not have to be afraid. Their only goal was to take down Zheng Zeyi. A few minutester. The restaurant served the dishes very quickly. Not long after, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room.¡±Knock, knock.¡± Upon hearing the noise, Jossi raised her head and said,¡±¡±Come in,¡± The waiter pushed the door open and entered with a dining car in his hand. There were exquisite tes on it. Even though she was quite far away, Joes could already smell the fragrance of food. ¡°Could it be that I¡¯m too hungry?¡± Joes questioned herself in her heart as she watched the waiter ce a few dishes that had been prepared in front of her and Zheng Zeyi. Then, the waiter took care of everything and respectfully said,¡±¡±I wish the two guests a pleasant meal.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Jossi thanked him and watched as the waiter left. She lifted the lid of the te and a fragrant aroma wafted out. The dishes she ordered were rtively simple. She had ordered a cream Italy for herself and Zheng ze. Other than that, there were also some fruits and fries, which were all his favorite food. After all, Zheng Zeyi had given her special privileges and allowed her to choose. It was no different from asking her to choose what she liked. With this right, Qiao sisi naturally had to make good use of it. However, she knew that Zheng Zeyi liked fruits more, so she specially ordered this. ¡°Try it?¡± Joes smiled and raised her eyebrows, as if she was about to eat. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curved into a smile, and his eyes were full of joy.¡±Then I¡¯ll have a taste. I¡¯ll see what sisi¡¯s special selection tastes like.¡± His voice was extremely maic, and it distracted Joes from trying the delicious food. After blinking her eyes and snapping out of her daze, Jossi took a bite of the creamy Italy. It was delicious. It was a lot better than she had imagined. It didn¡¯t seem greasy, and the fragrance was just right. Zheng Zeyi also took a bite. He did not show an indescribable expression, which meant that he thought the taste was okay. He would not put up with it, but that might not be the case in front of Joes. Joes put down the fork in her hand and asked with anticipation,¡±¡±Zeyi, what do you think of the taste?¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded slightly and picked up the napkin beside him to wipe the cream off the corner of his mouth. His every move carried the aura of a noble. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched as she looked away, pretending that she had not seen anything. After that, the two of them remained silent as they enjoyed the various delicacies on the tes. After all the dishes were served, Jossi was so full that she did not feel like eating anymore. She could only put down her fork for the time being. ¡°You¡¯re full?¡± Upon hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s question, joesse nodded and said,¡±¡±I couldn¡¯t control myself for a moment, so I seem to have eaten a little too much.¡± She also felt a little strange. It wasn¡¯t just today, it had been like this recently. Joes felt that her appetite had increased a lot for no reason. As for when the symptoms started, she didn¡¯t pay attention to it. She only recently discovered that there was an abnormal person. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any problems, right? I just ate a little more. ¡± Joes was a little flustered. There was actually another possibility, but there had not been any simr symptoms recently, so she automatically ruled out this possibility. In reality, he was resisting in his heart. Chapter 517

Zheng Zeyi put down his fork and picked up a napkin when he saw joesse¡¯s expression. Just when she thought that Zheng Zeyi was going to wipe his mouth like before, he stood up and went to Qiao SI¡¯s side. He bent down slightly, and his handsome face was magnified several times. When she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, joesse could not react in time. She stared nkly at those beautiful eyes. The next moment, Zheng Zeyi picked up the napkin in his hand and carefully wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth. As he wiped, he teased,¡±¡±How old are you to have so much cream on a creamy Italy?¡± ¡°I ...¡± After hearing this, Joes felt a little embarrassed and lightly touched her nose to hide her awkwardness. After Zheng Zeyi finished wiping, he ced the napkin on the table, but he still did not return to his seat. Those eyes were staring straight at Joss, and it made one feel a little flustered. Before Qiao si could make a sound, Zheng Zeyi took the initiative and kissed her gently on the lips. ¡°It¡¯s very sweet,¡± Upon hearing those flirtatious words, Joes¡¯s face instantly turned red, and her body temperature rose. Gentle and emotional music had been ying in the private room. At this moment, it changed to another song, which was more in line with the current ambiguous atmosphere. ¡°Be normal, I¡¯m eating right now!¡± Qiao si red at Zheng Zeyi, pretending to be angry. Zheng Zeyi chuckled when he caught a glimpse of her delicate appearance, but he did not say anything and returned to his seat. There weren¡¯t many dishes left, only some after-meal fruits and the like. Joesse did not eat anymore. Instead, she poured herself a ss of grape juice and took a sip before realizing that something was wrong. She stared at the cup and asked,¡±¡±This is red wine.¡± ¡°Naturally,¡± ¡°This restaurant usually serves red wine directly,¡± Zheng Zeyi replied.¡±And it¡¯s not bad red wine at that.¡± This was also what assistant li had told him, but Zheng Zeyi could now learn and apply it on the spot. Joes pursed her lips, but the aroma of the red wine continued to emanate. She licked her lips and finally drank a little. She didn¡¯t dare to drink too much because of her psychological trauma. Otherwise, the whole bottle of red wine would end up in her stomach. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. After Joes said e in¡±, the waiter walked in. With a smile on his face, he ced a silver key on the table and said,¡±¡±Two guests, this is the room upstairs. The room number is 4399.¡± Room number? Joes was stunned. Weren¡¯t they here to eat? How could there be a room number, and it was even upstairs? Questions popped up in her heart, and Jossi¡¯s intuition told her that a certain man would know the answer. After the waiter left, she gave him a look of encouragement. ¡°Do you know?¡± Faced with her questioning gaze, Zheng Zeyi turned his head away and said innocently,¡±¡±Sisi, I didn¡¯t know about this. Maybe it¡¯s because this is a couple¡¯s restaurant, so every couple has to go through this process. We can go up and take a look, don¡¯t worry. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s methods were outstanding, and he chose to back down at this moment. Even though Joes was still a little suspicious, she did not say anything. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright then, we won¡¯t go to the room. Go home after dinner. It just so happens that there are a few design drafts that need to be edited recently, so you need to rest well too. ¡± With that, joesse picked up her bag and was about to leave when she was stopped by Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Wait,¡± Upon hearing that, Joes stopped in her tracks and turned around to ask,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zheng Zeyi revealed a slightly evil smile and said enticingly,¡±¡±There¡¯s no difference whether we¡¯re here or home. We¡¯ve already given the key, so wouldn¡¯t it be a loss if we don¡¯t go up and take a look? If you don¡¯t want to spend the night here, you can just take a look and go home. Do you want to go and take a look?¡± After hearing what he said, Joes was truly moved. Zheng Zeyi was right. They had already given them the key. It would be a loss if they did not go up to take a look. It would be better to take a look before making a decision. If he didn¡¯t like it, he could go home anytime. At this moment, Qiao si had forgotten how dangerous Zheng Zeyi was and chose to agree.¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s go up and take a look.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. At that moment, Zheng Zeyi was like a harmless sheep. He smiled radiantly as he held Qiao SI¡¯s hand and went upstairs. When she reached the second floor of the restaurant, she realized that the second floor had the same design as the hotel. This floor was almost full of rooms, and the sound instion was very good. At least, no sound could be heard when walking in the corridor. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that there was no one in the room. The direction number 4399 was quite close to the elevator, but they could see the gate after a few steps. ¡°This is the ce.¡± Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi stopped in front of the door. She picked up the key and opened the door. It was only after she stepped in that she saw the entire view inside. This ce was undoubtedly much better looking than the hotel, and it was filled with a sense of warmth. Joes swept her gaze across the room and saw that the bed was covered with heart-shaped roses that were exquisitely designed. There was also a beautiful bouquet of baby¡¯s breath on the table. Many heart-shaped balloons could be seen on the ceiling, and quiet and soothing background music was ying. From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the city below at a nce. At this moment, the lights and neon lights intertwined, making it extremely beautiful. Jossi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. She was not stupid. One look and she could tell that this room had been prepared with great care. Zheng Zeyi was definitely one of the people who had made the order. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Upon hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s question, Qiao si smiled and said,¡±¡±Not bad. You don¡¯t have to go back tonight.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. Joes nodded and snapped her fingers,¡±¡±Sure, but I¡¯m going to take a shower first,¡± ¡°Please,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi made an inviting gesture. After putting on her bathrobe and towel, Jossi secretly took out something from her bag and walked into the bathroom. This thing ... Was the pregnancy test kit that she had secretly bought online when she had suspected that something was wrong with herself. However, he had forgotten about it after buying it and had not used it until now. It was only when Zheng Zeyi brought her to this couple¡¯s restaurant that she suddenly remembered this matter and was ready to see what the oue would be. ¡°Phew ...¡± Calm down! Joes told herself that she had to calm down. The two of them were about to get engaged. Even if the protection work was not done well, there was no need to worry too much. It was eptable, and the two of them could have a good discussion. Chapter 518

Even though that was what she was thinking, Joes was still extremely flustered. Even her hand, which was holding the pregnancy test, was trembling. ¡°Maybe the result will be good?¡± Joes mumbled to herself as she forced a stiff smile. She could not help but look outside, as if she could see Zheng Zeyi sitting on the sofa outside through the bathroom door. Very quickly, Joes retracted her gaze. After making up her mind, she did not hesitate and immediately used the pregnancy test. After using it, he waited for five minutes. Usually, it would take some time for the results to be out. After looking at her phone for five minutes, she picked up the pregnancy test. ¡°Bang Bang ...¡± Her heart was beating faster and faster, as if there was a deer running around. Joes swallowed her saliva and her gaze fell on the pregnancy test. She saw a red line on it. She wasn¡¯t pregnant! In an instant, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. Like a deted ball, her legs gave way and she leaned against the wall. ¡°Good, good, as long as you¡¯re not pregnant.¡± Joes patted her chest, finally feeling a littleforted. If she was pregnant, even if she could ept it, she felt that now was not the right time. After throwing the pregnancy test into the trash can, Joes took off her clothes and started to take a bath, humming a cheerful tune from time to time. She was in a good mood after knowing that she was not pregnant. As for what had happened in the washroom, Zheng Zeyi, who was outside, had no idea for the time being. He also did not know that his wife was putting on a psychological battle inside. After she was done with her shower, she changed into a bathrobe and went out. She happened to bump into Zheng Zeyi, who had gotten up and was about toe over. Joes was slightly taken aback. She took a white towel to dry her wet hair and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m done. You can go in and take a shower now. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. For some reason, joesse felt that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze was like a big Bad Wolf that had met a little white rabbit. Inexplicably ... Strange? Under such circumstances, the sound of running water could be heard clearly from outside the door as soon as Zheng ze entered the bathroom. Joes was still drying her hair. She picked up the remote control and started watching a cartoon on a TV station. As she read on, her face stiffened. ¡°Just now ... Did I not take the pregnancy test kit away? did I just throw it into the rubbish bin in the washroom?¡± Jossi was at a loss for words from the interrogation of her soul. She ced her hand on her forehead and leaned back on the soft pillow on the sofa. At this moment, she really wanted to give herself a bigpliment. How could she even forget such an obvious thing? If Zheng ze were to see the pregnancy test inside ... At the thought of this, Joes rubbed her brows. She wished she could go back to a few minutes ago and bring the things out. However, even if he did see it, it would only show a bar, so there should be no problem. ¡°Forget it. I shouldn¡¯t scare myself. I¡¯ll deal with whateveres my way.¡± Joes cheered herself on. She watched the animation on the TV and forced herself to focus on the TV, forgetting about the pregnancy test. When Zheng ze was done, ten minutes had already passed. The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly disappeared. Jossi raised her eyebrows slightly and subconsciously nced at the bathroom. Seeing that the doorknob was bent and the person inside was about toe out, she quickly retracted her gaze and pretended to be watching TV. The moment Zheng ze pushed the door open, he saw Jossi on the sofa. He hung the towel on his head and walked towards the sofa step by step. His maic voice rang out,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°Then ... Shall we watch TV together?¡± Qiao si smiled in embarrassment. She did not know if Zheng Zeyi had seen the pregnancy test. Therefore, he seemed rather guilty. Zheng Zeyi did not mind. He strode over to joesse¡¯s side and naturally pulled her into his arms. ¡°It¡¯s a long night, isn¡¯t it a little boring to just watch TV?¡±he said as his hot breath blew into her ear. ¡°You ...¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. She knew it! How could this man be content in such a ce? However, Qiao Si was no longer as resistant to such things as she was at the beginning. After all, she liked Zheng Zeyi too. ¡°Wuuu.¡± In the next moment, before Qiao si coulde back to her senses, Zheng Zeyi had already pressed her down on the sofa. The extremely oppressive posture caused Joris¡¯s eyes to widen and she almost screamed out loud, but she managed to hold it in. In the end ... She was still pushed down. There wasn¡¯t much time to rest for the entire night. Qiao Si was on the verge of tears. If she had known that this would be so crazy, she would have thought about it before agreeing to eat with Zheng ze. In the end, he was still too careless! ¡­¡­¡­ Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the morning of the next day. When Qiao sisi woke up, she realized that Zheng Zeyi was no longer by her bedside. She guessed that he had probably gone out to buy breakfast. ¡°I¡¯m so tired,¡± Joesseid on the bed and rested for a while against the pillow before she decided to wash her face and brush her teeth. By the time she was done changing, Zheng Zeyi had already returned with breakfast. Even from a distance away, Joes could smell the aroma of the fragrant breakfast, and her appetite was stirred. Zheng Zeyi knew her very well and also knew what kind of breakfast she liked to eat. She had bought all kinds of soup dumplings and soy milk. And ... A bowl of wonton. There were many types, but the quantity was still alright. This made joesse feel like she was being raised like a pig by Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± Joesse¡¯s eyes brightened when she saw the breakfast in Zheng ze¡¯s hands. She quickly volunteered herself and took the piping hot breakfast. After cing everything neatly on the table, Joes was about to take out a pair of chopsticks from the bag when she realized that there was only one pair. She blinked her eyes in confusion and asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, why is there only one pair of chopsticks? aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. ¡± Zheng Zeyi ate a little while he was downstairs so that he would have more time to watch Qiao sisi eat when he came back. There was no need for him to lie about this. Joes nodded in understanding and stuffed the xiaolongbao into her mouth. The rich, fragrant juice was bitten open, and it was so delicious that it made one want to swallow their tongue. After finishing the soup dumplings, she started to try other breakfast dishes. Zheng ze¡¯s eyes shed with a smile. Then, he remembered something and said,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, there¡¯s something I almost forgot to tell you. The old man will be back soon.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Upon hearing this, Joes almost spat out the wonton in her mouth. Chapter 519

She quickly controlled her embarrassment, looked at Zheng Zeyi, and asked,¡±¡±Really? Did Grandpa Zheng give you a specific time?¡± ¡°Not yet,¡± ¡°But ...¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head. ¡°But what?¡± After old man Zheng returned, they had to discuss the engagement, which was more important. This matter couldn¡¯t be dragged on for too long, as the engagement party hadn¡¯t been held yet. Zheng Zeyi ruffled Qiao sisi¡¯s hair and said with a smile,¡±¡±It should be within the next few days. He¡¯ll definitely call you when he¡¯s back.¡± He believed that the old man would definitely like this granddaughter-inw more than he liked him. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes said obediently. The two of them exchanged sweet nothings for a while. More than half an hour had passed, and Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to go to the office. Only then did she say goodbye. Moreover, it was assistant li who called to inform her. Before she left, Qiao si saw that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was very ugly. ¡°Assistant Li, I hope you¡¯re lucky.¡± Joes silently prayed for assistant li in her heart. After packing up everything on the table, she also took her bag and left the ¡°couple¡¯s restaurant¡±. It was clearly a ce that used the name of a restaurant to run the business of a hotel! On the other side, Qiao sisi was rushing to the office. On the other side, Zhao Hai ¡®er was having breakfast at the Qiao family¡¯s house. ¡­¡­¡­ In the dpidated apartment building, at the Qiao family¡¯s residence. The Qiao family was usually not particrly peaceful during breakfast. Zhao Hai ¡®er was looking at the food in her bowl with a nk expression when she heard Qiao Lei say in disdain,¡±¡±Bah! Mom, what kind of cake is this? it¡¯s so bad!¡± As he said that, Qiao Lei threw the pancake into the trash can. Hearing that, Liu Yun rushed out of the kitchen and saw the tbread in the trash can. Her heart ached for it. ¡°Aiyo, Xiao Lei, why did you throw it away? these pancakes cost 1.50 yuan each. Our family doesn¡¯t have that much money now.¡± Even though her heart ached for him, Liu Yun could not pick it up since it had already been thrown into the trash can. On the other hand, Qiao Lei did not show any signs of repentance after hearing these words. He directly sat on the sofa and said,¡±¡±What are you saying, mom? don¡¯t we have 300000 Yuan already?¡± ¡°That 300000 Yuan is for you to pay back your debt!¡± Liu Yun red at Qiao Lei angrily. When it came to returning the money, he was no longer as smug as before. He could only swallow his words. Qiao Lei had already contacted the Dragon and boss to give him the 300000 Yuan. He would transfer the money to a bank ount today. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s only three hundred thousand Yuan. Isn¡¯t sister here? She can easily get money, don¡¯t worry about it!¡± Qiao Lei looked very proud, and Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t know who he was showing it to. Zhao Hai ¡®er knew what he was thinking. He wanted to put all the financial pressure on her. She had the ability to get money easily, but why should she let the greedy Qiao family enjoy the fruits of herbor? Thinking about what happenedst time, Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious. ¡°Ha ...¡± She sneered and finished the porridge in the bowl. Then, she stood up and said,¡±¡±I have something to do, so I need to go out.¡± After that, Zhao Hai ¡®er went back to her room and changed into a set of beautiful clothes. She still looked bright and beautiful. In the past two days, she had taken out 300000 Yuan. After being released by the Qiao family, she had contacted Qian Yu, but not many times. Most importantly, he had been starving for a few days, so his physical condition wasn¡¯t very good. Zhao Hai ¡®er was worried that something might happen, so she had been eating well for the past few days. She only decided to contact Qian Yu again after she had rested for a while. She didn¡¯t want this man to get tired of her after a long time. Most rich people were like this. Although Zhao Hai ¡®er had never enjoyed the life of a rich man, she knew what these men were thinking. ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for you at the entrance of Xingyu caf¨¦. ¡± After sending the message, Zhao Hai ¡®er was a little nervous. She waited for a reply. Fortunately, they hadn¡¯t seen each other for so many days, and Qian Yu also missed her taste, so he quickly replied with an ¡°okay.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the message. She turned off her phone and held it tightly in her hand. She looked up at Qiao Lei, who was watching TV on the sofa, and her heart was filled with hatred. That 300,000 Yuan ... As long as she had the chance to get it back, she would definitely not let it go. She would not let Qiao Lei, that trash, take advantage of her! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes were red. After she calmed herself down, she took a deep breath. ¡°Bang!¡± The door of the room was closed. Zhao Hai ¡®er walked out with her bag and extended her hand to Qiao Lei.¡±¡±Lend me your phone for a while. It¡¯s out of battery. I need to make a call.¡± ¡°A phone call?¡± Qiao Lei seemed to have thought of something and smiled. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er was the hope of the entire Qiao family. He would not reject her request to borrow a phone. He threw the phone to Zhao Hai ¡®er and said,¡±¡±Here you go. Hurry up, I still have to go outter.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said coldly. After she took the phone, she positioned it so that Qiao Lei could not see anything. She quickly switched to Qiao Lei¡¯s chat app and saw the chat history with boss long. It stopped at the time when boss long said he would give her his bank ount numberter. ¡°Bank ount number ... It seems that I can try it this time.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes lit up. She did not want to lose 300000 Yuan. Now that it was possible, he would take a gamble! Zhao Hai ¡®er quickly jotted down boss Long¡¯s ount information. After a few quick nces, she switched to the contact list. She quickly typed a series of numbers on the screen. As Qiao Lei was watching from the side, Zhao Hai ¡®er did not want her actions to be too obvious. If he was discovered, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to get back the 300000 Yuan, so he had to be more secretive. Then, Zhao Hai ¡®er typed in her old phone number and dialed it. She heard the sound of an empty number. ¡°Cough cough ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pretended to be calm, pretending that she had already made the call. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± she said sternly into the phone.¡±I¡¯m ready to go out now. You just have to wait for me there. You don¡¯t have toe and pick me up.¡± She paused for a while and continued,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll hang up now.¡± Chapter 520

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hai ¡®er let out a sigh of relief and threw the phone back to Qiao Lei. Just as Qiao Lei was about to take a look at the phone number, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something and quickly walked over. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Qiao Lei was furious. Before he could react, his phone was snatched away by Zhao Hai ¡®er, that B * tch. He really couldn¡¯t understand what this woman was trying to do. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er did not care about Qiao Lei¡¯s thoughts. She nced at Qiao Lei¡¯s angry expression and said,¡±¡±Delete the phone number.¡± ¡°F * ck, are you crazy?¡± After Zhao Hai ¡®er deleted the number, she threw the phone back. Qiao Lei was so angry that he started cursing. In fact, he felt a little guilty. He wanted to remember the phone number and see who Zhao Hai ¡®er was calling. If he had a way to earn money, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about money in the future. 300,000 Yuan ... It was easy to get. In the end, Zhao Hai ¡®er destroyed Qiao Lei¡¯s fantasy and deleted the number. Hearing Qiao Lei¡¯s angry roar, Zhao Hai ¡®er sneered and said,¡±¡±I just deleted my number, why are you so angry?¡± ¡°I ...¡± Qiao Lei wanted to retort, but he was choked and couldn¡¯t say anything. His face was flushed red and he could only say,¡±¡±I¡¯m your brother, I wouldn¡¯t do anything with that number! But you, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve ever treated us as family. You¡¯re not even willing to give us 300000 Yuan, and now you want to delete our numbers. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression grew colder and colder, as if Qiao Lei had guessed right. At this time, Liu Yun was also attracted by themotion in the living room. Qiao Lei finally had enough confidence. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er,¡± he raised his chin,¡±are you looking down on our family? do you think you can do anything just because you have some money?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don ¡®t. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er knew that Liu Yun wasing and she also knew Qiao Lei¡¯s intention. However, she was in a hurry to get back the 300000 Yuan and didn¡¯t have the mood to continue ying psychological warfare with Qiao Lei. ¡°Hai ¡®er ...¡± Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Zhao Hai ¡®er knew that Liu Yun was about to make her move. She could not help but feel a little angry. She turned around, suppressed her anger, and said,¡±¡±Mom, I know what you want to say, but I have to go out now. I don¡¯t have time to continue talking to you. I don¡¯t know how much you¡¯ll believe Qiao Lei¡¯s words, but I¡¯ve taken out 300000 Yuan. Is this your attitude?¡± After a round of harsh questioning, Liu Yun sessfully swallowed her words back into her stomach, and her face was filled with grievance. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er, is this how you talk to your mother?¡± Qiao Lei started to take things to heart and kept harping on Zhao Hai ¡®er, not knowing that his own attitude was the worst. When he had no money to return to boss long, he wanted to take all of Liu Yun and Qiao Feng¡¯s money. It was only because he had money now, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have changed so much. Qiao Feng¡¯s construction site had also started work. He had to go out early every day and didn¡¯t have time to take care of the Qiao family¡¯s Affairs. Of course,pared to Qiao Lei, Zhao Hai ¡®er was not any better. Otherwise, the two of them would not be half-siblings. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you. You can do whatever you want.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said coldly. After saying that, she nced at Liu Yun, who was standing at the kitchen door without saying a word. Then, she took her things and left the house. Ever since she received the 300000 Yuan, the Qiao family no longer restricted her from going anywhere. After all, she had already gotten the most important things. It wasn¡¯t difficult to get money from Zhao Hai ¡®er next. He just had to do the same thing. Qiao Lei looked at the closed door and his face turned ugly. He said angrily,¡±¡±Mom, why don¡¯t you talk to her? she¡¯s too arrogant!¡± After Zhao Hai ¡®er left, Qiao Lei vented his anger on Liu Yun. Hearing his words, Liu Yunughed awkwardly, ¡°That¡¯s enough, Lei. Hai ¡®er is the one who paid off your debt. Stop talking.¡± ¡°Does she think she¡¯s better than others just because she helped me return the money? We¡¯re family, isn¡¯t it only right that she helps me pay back the money?¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s voice was even louder, and it echoed throughout the living room. Liu Yun quickly shook her head and exined,¡±No, Lei. Mom didn¡¯t mean that.¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Qiao Lei cursed. His eyes were red and Liu Yun was shocked. She couldn¡¯t help but take a few steps back. He closed the door and walked out with a loud bang. Even the people in the apartment building couldn¡¯t help but curse. Was there something wrong with this resident, disturbing the residents every day? ¡°F * ck, is there something wrong with your upstairs? If you continue to argue like this, I¡¯ll call the police!¡± ¡°Me too. You guys are the noisiest in the entire building. I¡¯ve never seen anyone as disgusting as you.¡± ¡°I still have to write. How can I continue writing if you guys are so noisy?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The scolding continued. Liu Yun didn¡¯t dare to lose her temper in front of Qiao Lei, but in front of these residents, her anger surged up. Liu Yun immediately rushed to the door and scolded,¡±¡±They¡¯re all a bunch of poor people. Don¡¯t look down on this and that! It¡¯s none of your business that our family is quarreling. If you want to call the police, go ahead. We¡¯re penniless, why would we be afraid of you?¡± After she was done with her tirade, Liu Yun mmed the door shut. She was so angry that she did not even want to cook dinner. The residents who were scolded were also furious. The Qiao family¡¯s reputation in this building waspletely ruined. At the same time, after Zhao Hai ¡®er left the Qiao family¡¯s residence, she went to the caf¨¦ that she had just mentioned. This was a very high-end coffee shop. It was decorated in yellow and gorgeous, and the service was very thoughtful. ording to Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s wallet, she would note to this kind of ce normally. However, she coulde here asionally because of Qian Yu¡¯s help. Zhao Hai ¡®er stood at the door and looked around. When she didn¡¯t see Qian Yu¡¯s car, she was sure that he wasn¡¯t here yet. ¡°My money, I will definitely get it back!¡± She mumbled softly, her eyes bing more determined. She picked up her phone and contacted a hacker who had an ount before. The hacker was also online, and he quickly replied to Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s message. ¡°I have a Commission for you. Use the ount information I gave you and steal this person¡¯s chat ount for a few days. Then, send the bank ount number I gave you to someone called Qiao Lei.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s description was very detailed, and the hacker knew what kind of mission it was. He sent a message,¡±I can ept the Commission, but you have to give me 10% of the profits. If there are no problems, we can start now.¡± Chapter 521

Chapter 521: We will find you

Trantor: 549690339

What! One-tenth? Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened in shock when she saw the message. She gritted her teeth in anger and wanted to give the hacker a good scolding. One-tenth of that was 30000 Yuan. That was too greedy! Zhao Hai ¡®er only needed a hacker to send her a bank ount number, yet he dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. ¡°This Commission ... Should I still issue it?¡± She was struggling in her heart, but it was already not bad to get 270000 back from 300000. After making up her mind, Zhao Hai ¡®er took a deep breath and replied,¡±¡±Alright, I can give you the money as long as youplete the request I give you.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± he said. After the two came to an agreement, Zhao Hai ¡®er sent the ount information she had recorded to boss long. She didn¡¯t dare to dy the matter of the huge sum of three hundred thousand Yuan. It was only when the hacker told her that he had enough information and that he was going to try it out did Zhao Hai ¡®er feel a weight lifted off her chest. ¡°I hope things will go smoothly.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er prayed in her heart. After waiting for a while, she saw a ck sports car driving toward her. A very familiar man was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat. It was Qian Yu. Seeing the person, Zhao Hai ¡®er was overjoyed, but she pretended to be reserved and stood still. It wasn¡¯t until Qian Yu drove up to her that she revealed a charming smile.¡±¡±Brother Qian, long time no see.¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, it has indeed been a long time since west met.¡± Qian Yu nodded. Without wasting any time, he had Zhao Hai ¡®er sit in the passenger seat. He looked at the GPS and saw that the destination was the hot springs Hotel in city H. He smiled and said,¡±¡±This time, I¡¯ll bring you to y something interesting. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Alright, brother Qian.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pretended to be shy. After the car started, she became even more excited. As long as Qian Yu was still around, getting the money was a simple matter. Their car headed towards the Hot Spring Hotel, while on the main road, Joes ¡®car was heading towards thepany. The two of them just happened to pass by each other, and neither of them noticed the other¡¯s movement, thinking that they were just ordinary passersby. Five minutester. The car arrived at Xingyuan design. Just as Joes was about to park the car in the underground parking lot, she noticed a familiar figure at thepany¡¯s entrance. She squinted her eyes and took a closer look. It was only then that she realized that the figure was Zhu Di, whom she had not seen for a long time. What was she doing here? Was it because of what happenedst time? Many doubts rose in her heart, but even she could not be sure. With that thought in mind, joesse did not park the car in the underground parking lot. Instead, she parked the car in thepany¡¯s parking space by the side of the road. There were surveince cameras there. He also did not have to worry about those jealous people damaging the car while Joes was away. ¡°Bang!¡± After closing the car door, Joes walked towards Jodie in her high heels with an overbearing aura. Zhu Di was also dressed in a bright red dress today, and was extremely eye-catching on the streets. When the two met, it attracted the attention of many passers-by. After all, the two of them were definitely elegant beauties. It was just that in terms of temperament, joesse was still a notch higher. ¡°You are ... Miss Jodie?¡± Joes smiled and said politely. Jodie also saw Joes and nodded arrogantly,¡±¡±It¡¯s rare for miss Qiao to remember me. ¡± ¡°Miss Zhu Di must be joking. How could I not remember?¡± Joes chuckled. Just as judi was holding her head high and puffed out her chest, feeling even more proud, she broke a certain someone¡¯s fantasy.¡±After all, there aren¡¯t many people in ourpany who are so arrogant and impolite.¡± Thest time Zhu Di and Ma Li came together, their attitude was extremely arrogant. The scene from that day was still vivid in joesse¡¯s mind, and she felt that she would not be able to forget it in the short term. Today, Zhu Di hade here alone. Who knew what she was up to? Justy clenched her fists and forced out a stiff smile when she met Joss¡¯s half-smiling gaze and her serious words. ¡°Miss Qiao, please take it that we were joking with you about thest time.¡± ¡°Joking?¡± Joes widened her eyes and pretended to be surprised,¡±¡±How can you joke about this? everyone in thepany saw it.¡± ¡°This ...¡± Jodie was so infuriated by Joes that she did not want to say anything. Her face turned slightly red and she looked away. After calming down for a while, she felt better. She cleared her throat and looked at Joes,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, let¡¯s not talk about what happenedst time. I¡¯m looking for you for something else. If miss Qiao doesn¡¯t mind, could youe with me to the caf¨¦ next door and we can have a chat?¡± At this point, Joes had a feeling that Jodie was up to no good. She nced around. She often went to the coffee shop next door and it was not bad. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky to do anything there. After considering the matter in her heart, joesse raised her eyebrows and agreed,¡±¡±Since miss Zhu Di has invited me, I will not reject you. Then let¡¯s go to the caf¨¦ next door. I would also like to know why miss Zhu Di is looking for me. ¡± Joes¡¯s tone was thought-provoking. Her slightly smiling gazended on Zhu Di¡¯s body. It was as though she could see through him just by looking at his eyes. There was no way for her to hide her thoughts. Comparing the two of them, Zhu Di¡¯s aura was much weaker.¡±¡±Then let¡¯s go.¡± Jodie was the first to walk in front. Joes did not say anything and followed her into the cafe next door. After the two protagonists left, the passersby who were secretly observing didn¡¯t stay for long either. They waited for a while before dispersing. It was just that what had happened just now had been discussed with great relish by them. A battle of words between two great beauties, and with such a strong aura, this was not something that could be seen at any time. ¡­¡­¡­ In the cafe. Soothing background music yed continuously, and the volume was adjusted to just the right level. Joes and Jodie did not book a private room, and since there were not many people in the cafe, they chose a table by the window. ¡°Here¡¯s your coffee. ¡± The waiter brought the mocha coffee they had ordered and ced it in front of them. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Joes thanked her out of habit, but when Jodie heard it, heughed coldly in disdain. Her smile made the waiter a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head slightly with the tray. Upon seeing this, Joes frowned and said,¡±¡±Then you can go and do your work first. If there¡¯s anything, we¡¯ll find you.¡± Chapter 522

Chapter 522: I let you escapest time

Trantor: 549690339

¡°Alright!¡± The waiter had wanted to leave a long time ago. Now that Joes had given him a way out, he quickly nodded and left with the tray. Only Joes and Jodie remained seated. They looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little off. After that, Joes retracted her gaze and picked up a spoon to stir the coffee slowly. She also took a sugar packet and poured it all into the coffee. Looking at her actions, Zhu Di chuckled and proudly took a sip of his coffee. ¡°Isn¡¯t it better to have coffee bitter?¡±she asked. Upon hearing this, joesse¡¯s hand froze. She tightened her grip on the sugar packet and her lips twitched. He really loved to make his presence known, not even willing to let go of such a thing. ¡°Do you live by the sea?¡± Joes was not happy about it, so naturally, she would not let Jodie off so easily. She raised her head and looked at her. This sentence also sessfully stunned Zhu Di. After he came back to his senses, a look of anger appeared on his face,¡±¡±What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°What do I mean?¡± Joes sneered and said,¡±of course I mean what I said. Why are you so nosy?¡± You have no right to judge whether I put sugar in my coffee or how I drink it. Please don¡¯t think too highly of yourself. ¡± ¡°You!¡± If not for the fact that the situation was not suitable, Zhu Di would have mmed the table and stood up. He was so angry that his face was slightly red. She was considered the daughter of arge enterprise abroad and everyone tried to curry favor with her, afraid that if they offended her, their family¡¯spany¡¯s cooperation would fall through. However, Zhu Di hade to China and met Zheng Zeyi and then Joes. The two of them didn¡¯t give her any face at all, but it was also because she was too good at courting death. Joes put down the coffee cup in her hand and said in a calm tone,¡±¡±I don¡¯t have time to waste with you. If you want to talk to me, say it now.¡± Joes already had some guesses about what Jodie was trying to say. Since she had already put it that way, Zhu Di took in a deep breath as well, temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart. Judi sat back on the chair, raised her chin, and said,¡±¡±I want you to leave Zheng Zeyi.¡± Sure enough! After she said this, Qiao SI¡¯s expression did not change. She had already guessed that it might be about Zheng Zeyi. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Zheng Zeyi really knew how to attract rotten peach blossoms. This Zhu Di had rushed all the way back from overseas just to get his hands on this extremely powerful man. Many thoughts shed through Joes ¡®mind, causing her to not answer Jodie¡¯s question immediately. This made her feel that she had regained some of her dignity. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Joes¡¯s thoughts were pulled back by this sentence, and she met Jodie¡¯s gaze, smiling,¡±¡±May I ask miss Zhu Di, what status do you have to say this to me?¡± Identity? Zhu Di choked for a moment before he replied,¡±¡±As the daughter of mari.¡± This identity was indeed not to be trifled with, but it was not enough to threaten Joes. If she could be threatened so easily, she would have been living in some unknown corner a long time ago. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, your status is not high enough. Furthermore, I am Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. What right do you have to make me leave him?¡± Faced with Joes¡¯s question, Zhu Di¡¯s aura weakened a lot. She lowered her eyes and her expression became even gloomier. At the next moment, Zhu Di raised his head and said,¡±it¡¯s very simple. I¡¯ve done some research on thatpany of yours. It¡¯s apany with great potential. However, it has yet to have a ce in the business world.¡± You should be able to understand what I¡¯m saying. Based on yourpany¡¯s strength, you can¡¯t help Zheng Zeyi at all. Why do you have to persist so hard?¡± As he said this, Zhu Di¡¯s confidence grew. ¡°I¡¯m different. Mari is one of the toppanies overseas. Not only can I help Zheng Zeyi open up the overseas market, but I can also enter the foreign market. There¡¯s a huge difference in strength between the two sides. You¡¯re also thepany¡¯s CEO, so you should know this, right?¡± Zhu Di gave a long speech, and his tone was very matter-of-fact, At this point, Joes had no choice but to admit that Jodie was right. Right now, star Yuan design was in the stage of rapid growth, but the speed was still too slow. It was impossible for it to be a leading enterprise in the business world now. Some things could only be done slowly with time. Zhu Di¡¯s words about the coboration between the Zheng Corporation and thepany were true. It would indeed be able to help Zheng Zeyi. For a long time, Joes did not speak. Looking at her silent expression, Jodie finally revealed a smug look. He picked up his coffee and slowly took a sip. Compared to his mocking appearance at the beginning, he now had the temperament of a big family. ¡°I admit that you¡¯re right. However, I still have to say that you have no right to make me leave him. ¡± In the end, Joes raised her head with a determined look. The smile on Jodie¡¯s face froze. She did not expect Joes to be so stubborn. She gritted her teeth and said angrily,¡±¡±Why waste the space of Zheng ze¡¯s men? You¡¯re from amoner family, what ability do you have to stand by his side!¡± It was a good thing that they were still in the coffee shop. Otherwise, Joes was worried that Judy would have shouted at her. After all, she was the daughter of arge corporation, so she had to pay attention to her image outside. ¡°All of this ... Has nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± Joes¡¯s voice turned cold. She nced at the time on her watch and realized that fifteen minutes had passed. Every minute and second that was wasted here could be used to do a lot of things in thepany. At the thought of this, Joes stood up without waiting for Jodie¡¯s reply. She took out two 100 dor notes from her bag and ced them under the coffee cup. She revealed a faint smile.¡±This cup of coffee is on me. Next time, miss Jodie, please don¡¯te and disturb me. Thank you.¡± After she finished speaking, Joes did not stay any longer. She turned around and left, leaving behind a back view. Looking at her departing figure, judi¡¯s face turned red with anger, and the two 100-dor bills on the table were even more ironic. ¡°Joesse! You managed to escapest time, but you won¡¯t be able to survive this time!¡± Jodie¡¯s face was as ck as coal. She squinted her eyes and had already thought of a way to deal with Joes. In her eyes, this meeting with Joes was a chance for her. But now that this woman didn¡¯t want this chance, he couldn¡¯t me Zhu Di for not showing mercy and ruining her entire life. Would Zheng Zeyi still want a dirty woman? The answer was, of course, No. After all, he was the president of arge corporation. Chapter 523

Joes¡¯s hopeless future surfaced in his mind, and a sinister smile appeared on Jodie¡¯s face. The waiter at the side was a little stunned when he saw this. He couldn¡¯t help but take a step back and lower his head. Fortunately, Zhu Di did not continue to stay in the coffee shop. He wanted to realize his dream as soon as possible, so he quickly left the ce. ¡­¡­¡­ On the other hand, after leaving the caf¨¦, joesse returned to star dors. The conversation she had with Zhu Di earlier on, she did not take it to heart. After all, she knew what Zhu Di was thinking. ¡°Good day, President!¡± ¡°Good Morning,¡± Joesughed. After greeting thepany¡¯s employees, Jossi went straight to the elevator. At the same time, she took out her phone and contacted the movingpany. The upper floor had already been renovated and left empty for a few days. Now, it was time for everyone to move up. ¡°Hello, is this President Qiao?¡± A middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. It was the movingpany that Joes had contacted from the start. Joes nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. I remember telling you guys that I have an order. ¡± ¡°I remember, I remember!¡± The middle-aged man quickly said. The environment around him was a little noisy, so he quickly walked to another step before he continued to speak on the phone,¡±¡±President Qiao, can we start moving today?¡± But today ... Joes thought about it for a while. It was morning and this was not an easy task. She could give everyone a day to rest. ¡°Today. If you can, you cane over in half an hour.¡± ¡°Yes, President Qiao!¡± After saying what she needed to say, Joes hung up the phone and kept it. She pressed the button for the third floor, and the elevator soon reached the third floor, and the door slowly opened. When she arrived at the office door, she saw Millie tidying up some documents. Joes said,¡±¡±Miley, there¡¯s something I need you to do.¡± The sudden voice stunned Millie. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Sure, please go ahead, President.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the movingpany. From today onwards, we¡¯ll move everything upstairs. Please remind thepany¡¯s staff.¡± Millie knew the importance of the matter and immediately agreed.¡±¡±Okay, President. I¡¯ll go and deal with this now.¡± ¡°Go on.¡± After that, Millie informed the staff of the various departments that, except for the things in the hall on the first floor, they needed to organize documents and some valuable things on the second and third floors. Joes did not idle around either. She used a square box to store the copies of everyone¡¯s contracts and documents in the office. Half an hourter, the movingpany arrived at Xing Yuan design. For the entire morning and afternoon, Xing Yuan design was busy with moving things and was only almost done in the evening. Apart from Joes¡¯s office, which was slightly bigger than before, the other ces seemed much emptier. After all, the space upstairs was bigger than downstairs, and it was not as crowded as before, so it was naturally more spacious. In the office. Joes stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view outside. The view on the top floor was naturally more beautiful than when he was below. It was as if he was standing in the sky above the entire city and looking at this beautiful ce. Neon lights flickered, and there were colorful billboards and lights in every house. With a single nce, it made one reluctant to look away. ¡°I¡¯ve been in this city for a few years ...¡± The experiences she had gone through over the years surfaced in her mind, and Joes could not help but sigh. It was an extraordinary achievement to be able to fight to this point in just a few years. Although Qiao si knew that Xing Yuan was able to grow to his current stage was also thanks to Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin¡¯s help. ¡°Knock, knock ...¡± At that moment, there was a knock on the office door. Jossi returned to her senses and returned to her desk. She raised her head and said,¡±¡±Come in,¡± After saying that, the office door was pushed open. It was not Miley, but Xu Hai, the head of the Human Resources Department. Upon seeing this, Qiao si raised her eyebrows slightly and her gaze fell on the stack of documents in Xu Hai¡¯s hands. Unsurprisingly, it should be rted to recruitment. She was right. Xu Hai said to Joes respectfully,¡±¡±President Qiao, I¡¯m here to discuss some recruitment matters with you.¡± ¡°Alright, then tell me about it.¡± Joes nodded. After that, Xu Hai ced the document in front of joesse and exined,¡±¡±President Qiao, these are the employees I¡¯ve selected. However, ording to your request, we have to select our employees carefully, so there are only 20 of us now. ¡± As for what Joes said, Xu Hai carried it out seriously without cking off. However, there were not many talents who were familiar with the jewelry design industry who applied for the job at Xingyuan design. After screening, only a few were left. Thepany¡¯s territory had expanded and they now owned an entire building. Now was the stage where they were going to rise rapidly, and employees were indispensable. ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Joes did not give a solution immediately. Instead, she looked at the documents he brought. The documents contained the resumes of the selected employees. She briefly looked through them and found that they were all not bad. Most importantly, they were capable. If thepany was filled with such people, Joes would not mind raising their sry. At least, their efforts would not be in vain. After looking through these resumes, Joes nodded in satisfaction. She put the documents aside for the time being and fixed her eyes on Xu Hai, who was in front of her. ¡°I understand what you mean, manager Xu. Xing Yuan¡¯s reputation is not that great now, so not many people havee.¡± More people are still waiting to see, but I can tell you very urately that it will erupt like a well after a period of time. ¡± At this point, Joes smiled. Her tone was very certain, which proved that she was confident that she could make the star Yuan design reach this level. Now that Xingyuan designpany had a territory and a shop, it would not be long before they could decide on a brand. Then, it was time for the people who were watching to ce their bets. ¡°I think I understand what you¡¯re trying to say, President Qiao, but do we need to wait for a while more given the current situation?¡± Xu Hai asked. Waiting ... The most important thing was indeed the current situation. There was ack of employees, and the entirepany seemed empty. However, this kind of thing couldn¡¯t be rushed. Unpolished jade had to be found slowly, not overnight. Chapter 524

Chapter 524: What happened today

Trantor: 549690339

Joes pondered for a moment before giving an answer,¡±¡±We don¡¯t have to wait for them toe to our door. Manager Xu should know more about recruitment than I do. There are many talents in jewelry design in the country. Manager Xu, you can look for them and ask them directly. ¡± This was turning from passive to active. He didn¡¯t have to wait for them to send in their resume. He could go to their house to look for them, but there were disadvantages to that. It could only be used on top talents, and others would not say anything. Xu Hai understood what joesse meant and nodded slightly,¡±¡±Okay, President Qiao, I understand. I¡¯ll handle this now.¡± ¡°Go on.¡± After receiving the order, Xu Hai was ready to leave. Just as he reached the door, Joes suddenly called out,¡±¡±Wait,¡± Hearing this, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to ask in confusion,¡±¡±President Qiao, is there anything else you need me to do?¡± The corners of Joes¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. I just believe in manager Xu¡¯s ability. Don¡¯t show any mercy to the leeches in thepany.¡± ¡°Although ourpany is currently short of employees, we don¡¯t want just anyone. It¡¯s better to have no employees than to have substandard ones. If he¡¯s really a talent, his character can be trusted. Even if his professional ability isn¡¯t that strong, he can still be epted for training. ¡± Xu Hai understood what joesse meant. She was also telling him that there might be people from otherpanies in thepany. Therefore, he had to keep a close eye on this area to prevent the same thing from happening again, where the design was leaked. ¡°President Qiao, I understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± Looking at Xu Hai¡¯s serious face, Joes was quite satisfied. After he left the office, the office fell into silence. Jossi only finished her work at night when it was time to get off work. She even met with a few bosses from otherpanies who hade to cooperate with her. They had contacted each other in the morning, but had only recently arranged a time to meet. In the reception room, the group had already discussed the cooperation requirements or remuneration and signed the contract. That way, when the project was officiallyunched, Joes would be able to profit a lot. ¡°I can finally rest.¡± Looking at the documents in front of her that had already been processed, Joes finally heaved a sigh of relief. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace. Although she didn¡¯t have much free time, she felt very fulfilled with such a busy life every day. Hispany was improving bit by bit, and his performance was also rising. This should be the happiest thing. ¡°Buzz.¡± Suddenly, her phone rang, and it was extremely abrupt in the quiet office. Joes was also shocked. When she regained her senses, she reached for her phone and saw an unexpected name. He was old master Zheng! For some reason, when she saw this name, Zheng ze¡¯s words from the morning suddenly appeared in her mind. He said ... That if old man Zheng were to return, he would definitely contact Jossi immediately. So, he had already returned? Joes blinked her eyes, feeling a little puzzled. However, she did not dy for too long and quickly picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, Grandpa Zheng.¡± Hearing her clear voice, old master Zheng chuckled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, Grandpa hasn¡¯t seen you in days.¡± ¡°Grandpa Zheng,¡± Joes chuckled,¡±I heard that you went on a trip recently?¡± Jossi did not ask where old master Zheng had gone or what he had done. This was old master Zheng¡¯s private matter. If he felt that there was nothing he wanted to tell him, he would tell him. There was no need to ask. Old man Zheng didn¡¯t think much of it and said into the phone,¡±¡±Yeah, I¡¯ve been out for a few days. I feel like my old bones are about to fall apart.¡± He paused for a moment and said after some hesitation,¡±¡±Sisi, do you want toe to grandpa¡¯s house for dinner tomorrow? Grandpa brought back a lot of local specialties for you. ¡± Even though joesse did not know that old master Zheng was in such a hurry because of the engagement, she still agreed. ¡°Sure, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯ll go to the Zheng family to find you tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Then Grandpa is really happy!¡± Old man Zheng was all smiles as he looked at the local specialties he had brought back. They were all for joesse. As for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s share ... He was sorry, he did not prepare any. That grandson did not need these things at all. His eldest grandson had been independent since he was young, and old master Zheng had also thought that he was raising a child. However ... He had never raised a child who did not make him worry. No matter what, he couldplete it by himself. Coupled with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality, old master Zheng did not show much concern for him on the surface, and Zheng Zeyi did not like these local specialties either. Old master Zheng had indeed heard about the engagement. However, he did not call Jossi over just to discuss the date of the engagement. He also wanted to give her some gifts. Old master Zheng also wanted to have a good chat with his granddaughter-inw about the things that had happened these days. It was better than telling a man like Zheng Zeyi. Thinking about the next day, old master Zheng¡¯s expression became even happier. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.¡± ¡°See you tomorrow, Grandpa Zheng.¡± After the call ended, Joes¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She nced at old master Zheng¡¯s name on her phone. To be honest, this grandfather was like her parent and treated her extremely well. On the other hand, the group of people who were truly blood-rted were a group of vampires who could not wait to squeeze everything out of Joes. ¡°I don¡¯t want to miss the Qiao family anymore. I want to see how Jianghai is doing.¡± Joes thought to herself. She buried the Qiao family¡¯s matter in her heart and started to search for Jianghai city on the inte. He searched for the keyword ¡®Jianghai¡¯, and a bunch of news appeared on the web page. Jossi was shocked when she saw the headline on the top page. Jianghai is in prison? It had only been two days, and it had actually been so fast? The title was very eye-catching. It was written: The president of the embezzledpany was finally in jail, it was a great news! Looking at this headline, Joss clicked on it without hesitation and read the long news article carefully. Only then did she realize that Jianghai¡¯s imprisonment had happened today! ¡°Time ... Around eight in the morning? So it¡¯s at this time. ¡± Joes quietly recited the time on the news article, which was when she had just woken up in the morning. At that time, she was in the upstairs room of the couple¡¯s restaurant, so it was normal that she didn¡¯t know about this. After all, he had just been arrested at that time, so it probably wasn¡¯t that sensational. It was onlyter on that the matter slowly fermented and started to be popr. Chapter 525

Looking at the description in the news article, the corners of Jossi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She was still a little happy that this person had finally paid the price he deserved. He embezzled most of the ie from the kindness Association and used it to open nightclubs or to those ces where people indulged in debauchery. He spent a lot of money. But what did that money have to do with him? He was just consuming the kindness of others. Joes squinted her eyes slightly and kept her phone back into her pocket. She was in an extremely good mood as she hummed a little tune. She put all her belongings into her bag and left the office with her bag. She happened to see Miley, who was busy in her office seat. ¡°Millie, aren¡¯t you going home yet?¡± Joes asked. Millie raised her head in shock and nodded.¡±¡±President, I¡¯ll be ready to go back soon.¡± ¡°Do you want me to send you off?¡± Joes took a look at the time. It was more than ten minutes past the end-of-work time. She was still clear about the bus routes, and there shouldn¡¯t be any buses going home at this time, so she decided to send Miley home. Millie, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed and said,¡±¡±President, would this be too much trouble for you?¡± ¡°I won ¡®t,¡± Looking at Millie¡¯s expression, Joes chuckled,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. Just treat me as a friend after work.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s not toote yet. I¡¯ll send you home. ¡± Since she said so, Millie couldn¡¯t refuse, so she nodded.¡±¡±President, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then.¡± After tidying up the things on the table, Millie followed Joes out of star Yuan design. There weren¡¯t many people left in thepany. Other than the managers who were still working overtime, there were only the security guards on night shift. ¡­¡­¡­ In the car. Even when she got into the car, Millie still felt like she was in a dream. She had never thought that she would one day be sitting in such a luxury car, and in the front passenger seat at that. Ever since joesse¡¯s car broke down, she had changed her car to an expensive Lamborghini. This kind of luxury car was not only expensive, but it was also a limited edition. Even if you wanted to buy it, you might not be able to get it, which was the reason why cars were rare. ¡°President ...¡± Just as Joes was about to start the car, Miley suddenly spoke, causing her to stop. She blinked her eyes as if she had suddenly recalled something. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Also, you reminded me. I¡¯ve suddenly forgotten something. Can you tell me your home address? I¡¯ll send you back now. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Millie nodded and told Joes the address. The car quickly started and drove towards Millie¡¯s apartment. Millie¡¯s apartment was one of the better apartments in city H. The monthly rent was about three to four thousand Yuan. As for the details, Jossi was not clear. She was only guessing. After all, she had once lived in the apartment area of city h and still did not have her own house. In addition, Millie¡¯s monthly sry was not bad. Even after paying the rent, she could still have a lot of savings. ¡°Miley, what are your ns for the future?¡± Jossi suddenly asked while they were driving. Millie was slightly stunned when she heard the question. She fell into deep thought. To be honest, she had never thought about this question. Now that her career was on the rise, she only wanted to work hard and earn money to support the family. Seeing that Millie did not reply for a long time, Joes did not make things difficult for her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m just asking you. We¡¯re almost there. ¡± There weren¡¯t many cars on the road, and the car soon arrived at Miley¡¯s apartment. Millie looked at the familiar neighborhood in front of her and smiled at Joes.¡±¡±President, I don¡¯t have any specific ns for the future. I just want to finish my work well now, get a promotion, and get a raise. Things will naturallye to pass in the future. ¡± After hearing Millie¡¯s honest answer, Joes smiled.¡±¡±It¡¯s a good thing that you can think this way. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back now. I¡¯ll see the president tomorrow!¡± ¡°See you tomorrow,¡± After saying that, Joes watched as Miley¡¯s figure disappeared from the entrance of the residential area before she started the car and returned to the apartment. During this time, she also received a text message from Zheng Zeyi, saying that he had something to do tonight and might bete. He told Jossi to take care of herself. He would look for her at the Zheng family after he settled his matters tomorrow. Initially, Joes was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down. After all, Zheng Zeyi was still the president of the Zheng¡¯s group. It was normal to be a little busy with the management of such a big group. However, what she did not know was that Zheng Zeyi had not stayed out all night because of this. ¡­¡­¡­ In a private room of a bar, a man in a ck trench coat was leaning on the sofa. He had a handsome face, but at this moment, he was expressionless, faintly revealing a dangerous meaning. It was Zheng Zeyi! In front of him was a trembling Jianghai, who wanted to hide his head in his neck. There were many Men in ck standing in the private room. They were all Zheng Zeyi¡¯s subordinates, and the atmosphere in the private room was very serious. ¡°Gulp.¡± Jiang hai could not help but gulp. He was getting more and more nervous as he thought about what had happened today. He felt that it was unbelievable. The Secretary was busy dealing with the rumors on the inte but before she could do anything, a group of security guards came to Jianghai. Not only the people in thepany, but even Jianghai himself thought that he was going to be arrested and sent to prison. In the end, nothing happened. Instead, he was locked in a small dark room and was only brought here now. That was the reason for the news of Jianghai¡¯s imprisonment in the morning. The security Department had already made arrangements and handed the man over to Zheng Zeyi for the time being. For a long time, no one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere was very oppressive. Jiang hai could feel the sweat on his forehead. He looked up at Zheng Zeyi and said softly,¡±¡±C-President Zheng.¡± But he didn¡¯t get a reply. When Jiang hai first arrived and saw Zheng Zeyi, he had thought a lot. However, it was useless to think about it now. This President Zheng obviously wanted to take revenge for his fianc¨¦e. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have gone to such great lengths. Jiang hai was truly regretful. Why didn¡¯t he think of the consequences before he did it? why didn¡¯t he consider Zheng Zeyi? He was just the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, so he shouldn¡¯t have such a big hand. But he had connections with people in the gray area. Not only that, but his status was also very high! Just as Jianghai was feeling extremely nervous, Zheng Zeyi finally made a move. He picked up the bottle of red wine beside him and poured himself a ss of wine. Chapter 526

He gently swirled the wine ss in an elegant manner, and the wine kept swirling with the ss. Seeing this, Jianghai had a feeling that something big was about to happen. He was so nervous that his lips were trembling. ¡°You should know who I am, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked a question that Jiang hai could not wrap his head around, but he still nodded his head.¡±¡±I know, you¡¯re President Zheng!¡± Almost everyone in the business world knew about this Honorary President of the business world. Usually, Jianghai would not dare to provoke him. However, he had provoked joesse. This was where Zheng ze¡¯s reverse scaley. Zheng Zeyi curled his lips and took a sip of the red wine in his ss. He said calmly,¡±¡±Since you know who I am, you should also know why I called you here today. Do you know who you attacked?¡± Hearing this question, Jiang Hai¡¯s heart clenched. He was so flustered that he almost forgot how to think. This was because Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze was simply too terrifying. It was as if he was looking at a person who was about to die. It took a long time for Jiang hai to recover from his fear, gasping for air. He swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice,¡±¡±President Zheng ... I, I was wrong, please let me go! I¡¯m begging you!¡± Death was so close to Jianghai that he was truly afraid. There had never been a time, or perhaps no one, that could make Jianghai so afraid. However, Zheng Zeyi did it. He was not as simple as he looked. The president of the Zheng¡¯s group was just a title on the surface. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened, and his smile turned cold.¡±¡±I¡¯ll ask you again. Do you know who you attacked?¡± In an instant, it was as if arge hand had grabbed Jiang Hai¡¯s neck, causing him to be unable to breathe. Jiang Hai¡¯s body trembled as he replied fearfully,¡±I, I hired those hoodlums to ... Lay their hands on Jossi.¡± ¡°It seems that you knew what the consequences would be before you did it.¡± Zheng Zeyi suddenlyughed, and his smile was a little piercing. Jiang hai could not help but take a step back. He did not dare to answer Zheng Zeyi¡¯s question. He did know the consequences of doing so, and it was precisely because he knew that he chose to do so. If Jossi had not died, the evidence would have been exposed sooner orter. Furthermore, she had even asked for a huge sum of 40 million. Jiang hai felt that he was forced to do so, but the result was not what he wanted. Not only did Joes not die, the evidence was also exposed. The Jiang Corporation was done for and he, Jiang hai, had be a rat on the street. This was the current situation! ¡°President Zheng, I¡¯m begging you to let me go. I really know that I was wrong!¡± ¡°I swear I¡¯ll never do this again. I¡¯ll even kowtow to President Qiao!¡± ¡°As long as President Zheng can promise to let me go, I¡¯m willing to do anything for you!¡± When he met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze, Jiang hai waspletely terrified and kept begging for mercy. He was a grown man, but he was in tears and snot. He was afraid that Zheng Zeyi would get his men to kill him if he was unhappy. At this point, how could he not know that his name was in the hands of this man in front of him? Zheng Zeyi was unmoved by Jiang Hai¡¯s pleading. Crack ... Crack ... He calmly opened another bottle of red wine. The sound of the bottle opener was like amand to Jiang Hai¡¯s ears. Jiang hai was on the verge of tears. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said,¡±¡±President Zheng, I¡¯ll use all my assets to exchange for a life!¡± ¡°All his assets?¡± As if he had heard a joke, Zheng Zeyi let out a coldugh that reverberated in the private room. He was the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. If he still needed the wealth he had in Jianghai, he would be the biggest joke in the business world. He was not interested in anything from Jianghai. ¡°You¡¯re not qualified to negotiate with me. ¡± Zheng Zeyi ced the bottle of wine on the table and turned to look at Jiang hai after speaking coldly. Just as Jiang hai was feeling uncertain, he finally spoke,¡±¡±Let¡¯s beat him up, beat him to death. If his luck is good and he doesn¡¯t die ...¡± ¡°Then send him to prison and bribe the people there. He won¡¯t be able to live a good life in his next life.¡± Zheng Zeyi paused and smiled. ¡°Yes, boss!¡± His subordinates responded to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s order and were ready to take action. As for the protagonist, Jiang hai, he almost fainted when he heard this. He was so angry that his entire body was shaking. There was also a hint of fear in his voice. This man was a demon! If he wanted to kill Jianghai city, it would be as easy as squashing an ant. However, he was not prepared to do that. Most importantly, Jiang hai had almost killed Qiao si si. Zheng Zeyi would not let Jiang hai die so easily. That would be letting him off too easily. He should live the rest of his life in torture and repent every day! ¡°Ah!¡± In the next moment, a shrill cry that sounded like a pig being ughtered rang out. Jiang hai was kicked to the corner of the room and mmed into the wall. He felt as if his internal organs had changed positions. His subordinates stretched their limbs and rushed forward to beat up Jiang hai. The room was filled with screams that never stopped. Zheng Zeyi looked at this scene coldly, his heart unmoved. He should be prepared to bear the consequences for hurting his woman. It was only when Jiang hai was on the verge of death and could not even make a sound that Zheng Zeyi went up to him and took a look. His originally fat and greasy face had been beaten so badly that even his mother could not recognize him. When he saw Zheng ze approaching, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He wanted to retreat with all his might, but he had no strength at all. There was a wall behind him, and he couldn¡¯t move at all. Zheng Zeyiughed coldly when he saw how terrified he was.¡±This is the price you should pay.¡± ¡°You ...¡± Jiang hai wanted to say something, but his teeth were chattering. In the end, he could only swallow his words. Zheng Zeyi did not look at him again. He stood up and said to his subordinates,¡±¡±Send him to the prison. Remember to bribe the people inside.¡± ¡°Yes, boss.¡± His subordinates knew what he meant. After that, Zheng Zeyi left the private room. As for everything that was happening here, Joes did not know at all. She also did not know that a certain man had already removed the obstacles for her. ¡­¡­¡­ Blue sky Apartment, in a room. Joes had already taken a bath and was washing her face and brushing her teeth. Her phone was ced at the side. After it vibrated, she quickly picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Zheng Zeyi. The content of the message showed that he was going to give Qiao si a gift the next day. Present? Joes¡¯s eyes lit up. After washing away the foam in her mouth, she washed her face and picked up her phone to reply,¡±okay.¡± She could not help but look forward to it. ording to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality, he would not prepare a gift for a straight man.

Speaking of which, before she went to the Zheng family house tomorrow, she had to go shopping and pick out a gift for Zheng Zeyi. During this period of time, Zheng Zeyi had given her countless things, cars, and even shops. Indeed, Qiao SI¡¯s current worth was not as rich as Zheng Zeyi ¡®s, but that did not mean she would not spend money on her man. ¡°I have to pick a suitable gift tomorrow!¡± Joes warned herself in her heart. She quickly made up her mind and kept her phone. Just as she was about to leave the washroom, she caught a glimpse of the box on the sink from the corner of her eye. It looked familiar. This was ... Joes blinked her eyes and took a look at the box. The smile on her face instantly froze. She had forgotten that these were the remaining pregnancy test kits she had bought online. She had not used them yet. She had used one previously, but the results of the test at the hotel had satisfied joesse. She was still young, and it would be too early for her to get pregnant. It was better to talk about thister. Just as Joes was about to put away the pregnancy test kits, she suddenly recalled the night at the hotel. He had a bad feeling in his heart. ¡°It¡¯s impossible to hit it on the first try, right?¡± Joes still held a trace of hope in her heart. However, there was still a sense of panic in the depths of her heart. She cleared her throat to make herself look calm. Then, she looked at the number of pregnancy test kits. There were four or five left. Since he wasn¡¯t sure, he would try! Joes quickly made a decision and ced the box back on the sink. She then took out a brand new pregnancy test kit. After she had used it, she put it aside temporarily and waited for the results. ¡°Buzz.¡± The phone on the sink suddenly vibrated, attracting Joes ¡®attention. She looked up and picked up the phone. Seeing that it was Chen Anna calling, she picked it up without hesitation. Speaking of which, the two of them had not seen each other for a few days. Ever since Joes was discharged from the hospital, Chen Anna¡¯spany had be busy. As the chief designer, she had many things to do for the designers under her. Moreover, it seemed that her engagement party with ye chen was also on the agenda. ¡°Hello?¡± Upon hearing the familiar carefree voice, Joris could not help but smile and say,¡±¡±Busy man, why did you suddenly call me today?¡± Chen Anna could not help but be stunned by the teasing tone. However, she quickly reacted and said with a smile,¡±¡±Look at what you¡¯re saying. I¡¯ve been a little busy these days, so I didn¡¯t contact you.¡± ¡°Aspensation, I¡¯ll definitely treat you to a good meal at the engagement party!¡± Engagement party? Jossi was stunned. She looked at her phone in disbelief and quickly asked,¡±¡±Have you guys set the time for your engagement?¡± This speed was a little too fast! Chen Anna had just mentioned this a few days ago! Moreover, from the current situation, Chen Anna was very likely to be the first sister to get married. After hearing Joes¡¯s surprised words, Anna Chen said helplessly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t want to either. Both families are rushing me. Plus, that bastard ye chen keeps talking about this in my ear every day.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been listening to it every day, and I feel like my ears are about to get calluses. I had no choice but to agree.¡± From her tone, Joes could hear a deep sense of helplessness. She could also confirm that Chen Anna really did not want to get engaged so early. As if tofort herself, Anna Chen said with a trace of relief,¡±¡±But you don¡¯t have to be so flustered. It¡¯s just an engagement, not a wedding. It¡¯ll take some time before we get married.¡± Would your ye chen really wait? They had only known each other for a short time, but they had already reached the stage of engagement. It was very difficult to postpone the marriage. Joes cursed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud. It was better not to destroy Chen Anna¡¯sst hope. ¡°Oh, right. What time is your engagement party?¡± Joes asked the most important question. The engagement party was very important. As Chen Anna¡¯s best friend, she had to attend. Moreover, she had to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. She had to prepare for this kind of thing early. Chen Anna looked at the time and said,¡±¡±The tentative date is the 15th of next month. Because it¡¯s an auspicious day, they looked at the calendar for a long time before choosing it. And ... It¡¯s decided as such for now, but I don¡¯t know if there will be any changes. If there are any changes, I¡¯ll definitely let you know. ¡± ¡°This is more like it.¡± Joes nodded her head in satisfaction. The two of them couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. They didn¡¯t expect such a huge change to happen in such a short time. Both Qiao si and Chen Anna were about to get engaged. They were both people who were half a step into marriage. Thinking back to a year ago, the two of them couldn¡¯t even guarantee their own lives. ¡°It seems that I¡¯ll have to give you a big red packet.¡± Joes said with a smile. Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That¡¯s a must. They¡¯re getting engaged. Can¡¯t you show some appreciation?¡± Jossi was already used to her friend¡¯s money-grubbing behavior, so she was not surprised. Just as she was about to agree, Chen Anna suddenly thought of something. She pped her head and said,¡±Speaking of the engagement, I¡¯ve forgotten about the proper business. Sisi, other than this, there¡¯s another thing I wanted to tell you. I got a raise!¡± ¡°A raise?¡± Chen Anna was extremely excited and quickly nodded,¡±¡±I¡¯m thepany¡¯s chief designer now, and I¡¯m qualified to teach other designers. Thepany gave me a base sry of 10000 Yuan, and even a Commission for taking people and taking orders. ¡± To Chen Anna, this was already a very good benefit. Joes was truly happy for her.¡±¡±Not bad, Anna. You haven¡¯t missed a promotion or a raise. You¡¯re very proud of your career!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am? that¡¯s a must!¡± After being praised, Chen Anna felt a little smug. The two of them chatted and the atmosphere was joyous and harmonious. They were like good friends who talked about everything. ¡°Anna ...¡± He said. On the other end of the phone, Qiao si could vaguely hear someone calling Chen Anna¡¯s name. She guessed that it was ye chen. Sure enough, Chen Anna said in the next second,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯m not going to talk to you anymore, let¡¯s talk next time! Ye chen seems to have something to discuss with me, so I¡¯m going to go see what¡¯s going on. ¡± Chapter 528

Hearing the urgency in her voice, Joes naturally did not reject her and agreed,¡±¡±Okay, then you go ahead and do what you need to do. Don¡¯t be too anxious.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing!¡± After the two of them greeted each other, Jossi hung up the phone and kept it in herrge pocket. Thinking of her best friend¡¯s uing engagement, she couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°I¡¯ll have to discuss it with Grandpa Zheng tomorrow. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving,¡± Joes mumbled softly. Then, she naturally prepared to leave the washroom. Fortunately, she remembered about the pregnancy test before she left. After the phone call, he was not as nervous as before. ¡°I¡¯ll get it on my first try,¡± she chuckled.¡±It usually happens in idol dramas. It definitely has nothing to do with me.¡± With this thought in mind, no matter how anxious joesse was, she picked up the pregnancy test and nced at it before throwing it into the trash can. Why should she keep a used pregnancy test kit? The moment the pregnancy test came off her fingertips, Joes ¡®expression suddenly changed and she quickly grabbed the pregnancy test. Wait ... Did she see it wrong? At this moment, Jossi started to doubt her eyes. She seemed to have seen two red lines just now. ¡°Bang Bang.¡± Joes¡¯s heart started to beat faster. She blinked her eyes. The pregnancy test kit was in her hands, but she no longer had the courage to do so. It couldn¡¯t be such a coincidence, right ... He had just said that it was impossible to get it on the first try, and now he was given such a big surprise? Joes wanted to cry but had no tears. She had to ept the truth eventually. She took a deep breath, picked up the front of the pregnancy test, and looked at it carefully. He saw that there were two obvious red lines drawn on the disy. If he could still see wrongly, then he was no different from a blind man. ¡°F * ck!¡± Joesse felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry. How did she suddenly get pregnant? It was normal to use a pregnancy test before that day, but after that day, she was pregnant? Zheng Zeyi, that bastard! Qiao Si was cursing Zheng Zeyi in her heart. Zheng Zeyi, who was teaching a lesson in Jianghai, had no idea about this. Otherwise, he probably would not have bothered about anything else and would havee to look for Joes directly. ¡°Calm down, I need to calm down.¡± Joes clutched the pregnancy test kit tightly and pretended to be calm as she went to the sofa and leaned against a soft pillow. Only then did he feel slightly better. She picked up the pregnancy test and confirmed it again and again. She could only ept the fact helplessly. If it wasn¡¯t the pregnancy test results that were wrong, then she was really pregnant. This was undeniable. However, the results of the pregnancy test couldn¡¯t say everything. Sometimes, there would be mistakes. Joesse pursed her lips and sighed. In the end, she picked up her phone and found the phone number of a hospital in her contact list. He had recorded this a long time ago, but he had not used it recently. This was the first time he used it. This hospital was very famous in city H. The gynecologist was also an expert in this area, which was why joesse thought of making an appointment. No matter what, she couldn¡¯t ignore the fact that the pregnancy test had two lines. ¡°Let¡¯s check ...¡± Jossi gritted her teeth and quickly made a call. After a few rings, the call was picked up by a nurse. By right, the hospital should have closed by now, but there were nurses on duty at night, so she could still contact them. ¡°Hello, how are you?¡± Hearing the nurse¡¯s slightly tired voice, Joes¡¯s heart tightened and she said,¡±¡±Hello, I¡¯d like to make an appointment with the OB/GYN department tomorrow.¡± ¡°Obstetrics and Gynecology?¡± The nurse on the other end of the phone sobered up a little, and she looked a little surprised. She didn¡¯t expect such a young voice to make an appointment with the gynecologist. Thinking about it carefully, this wasn¡¯t something surprising. In today¡¯s society, many people were like this. The nurse couldn¡¯t make a conclusion just based on the voice. ¡°Okay, what time will it be?¡± After hearing this, joesse considered it for a moment. She felt that she should go to the mall to buy a gift in the morning, then go to the hospital for a checkup. After the checkup, she would go to the Zheng family. In terms of itinerary, it was very appropriate. With an idea in mind, Joes said,¡±¡±Around 9:30 am, is that okay?¡± ¡°Sure, name.¡± Following the nurse¡¯s request, Jossi boarded the ne and checked on her basic information. She managed to make an appointment for tomorrow¡¯s examination. They would only know if she was pregnant after the examination. In fact, Joes already had a guess in her heart. Most of the results of the pregnancy test were true. Furthermore, she did not drink alcohol, so it was impossible for her to interfere with the final results. Joes furrowed her brows and tightened her grip on the pregnancy test. Then, she buried her head in the soft pillow and wailed,¡±¡±The world is unpredictable. I shouldn¡¯t have agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s request!¡± It had already happened, and there was no use regretting it now. Joes was well aware of this, so she onlyy on the sofa and grumbled for a while before returning to her room. As for the two-line pregnancy test, it had been thrown into the trash can in the living room. It was no longer in use. As for the details, it would depend on the results of the examination tomorrow. After a tiring day, Joes returned to her room to sleep. She fell asleep very quickly after lying on the bed. It was a peaceful night. In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning. Joesse woke up early in the morning. The first thing she did after waking up was to tell Millie that she probably would not be going to the office today. Millie had already woken up by this time and replied with an ¡°ok¡±. After that, joesse made a simple breakfast at home and ate the frozen dumplings after heating them up. In the meantime, she sent a text message to Zheng Zeyi, telling him that she would be leaving for the Zheng family in about an hour. An hour ... Should be enough to settle all these things. After eating the frozen dumplings, joesse took her bag and prepared to go out. The first thing she did was to drive to thergest shopping mall in city H. This shopping mall was well-equipped and was always very lively on weekends. It was a Tuesday, so there weren¡¯t many people and it didn¡¯t feel crowded. The third and fourth floors were where luxury goods were sold. After arriving, Jossi immediately went up to these two floors to take a look. At the watch shop. The interior of the store was gorgeous, and there were also polite shopping guides. One look and one could tell that it was not ordinary. Qiao si si had also noticed that Zheng Zeyi did not have a watch on his hand, so she wanted to buy him a watch. ¡°Customer, how may I help you?¡± Hearing that, Joes nodded slightly.¡±¡±I want to buy a Men¡¯s Watch.¡± Chapter 529

¡°Is there anything you can rmend to me? There¡¯s no problem with the price, I can afford it. ¡± Joes said. Since it was a gift for Zheng Zeyi, it naturally could not be of a low grade. However, she seemed to have a little one in her stomach. Would he think that this was the real gift? After suppressing her thoughts, Joes turned her gaze to the sales assistant. The shop assistant understood what joesse meant and smiled politely,¡±¡±Alright, miss. Please follow me. We do have rmendations.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After that, Jossi followed the shop assistant to a ss counter and saw all kinds of watches inside. Every one of them looked very good, which showed that this shop was not bad. Joesse¡¯s gaze never left the ss cab after it fell on it. She listened to the sales assistant¡¯s detailed introduction. ¡°Customer, let me introduce to you. If you¡¯re giving it to men, we have this Rolex baby¡¯s breath.¡± The saleswoman smiled sweetly. After using the key to open the ss cab, she took out the watch and showed it to Joes for a closer look. Even though it wasn¡¯t in her hands, she could see it more clearly under the light than in the ss cab. ¡°This is a limited edition. You can take a closer look at it. The structure is very exquisite, and the inside is full of small diamonds.¡± The shop assistant said. Joes took a look and nodded her head in satisfaction.¡±¡±This watch is really good. How much does it cost?¡± ¡°This ... Is a limited edition after all. Our price is 1.2 million. I wonder if you can ept it?¡± 1.2 million? The price was indeed a little expensive, but it was still within joesse¡¯s eptable range. Now that Xing Yuan design was starting to make a profit, they were earning hundreds of thousands to millions a month. Unless he needed to use other funds to run a project, the money would be enough for the rest of the time. I¡¯ll take another look, and if there¡¯s nothing I like, I¡¯ll buy this baby¡¯s breath, okay?¡± ¡°Of course you can!¡± The shop assistant did not expect that joesse would actually want to buy it. 1.2 million was not a small amount, and she would be able to get a small Commission. However, those who coulde to a luxury store were definitely not ordinary. Joes took some time to look at the other watches. Indeed, none of them were as pretty as baby¡¯s breath. To be precise, she liked them. In the end, Joes still chose baby¡¯s breath. ¡°I¡¯ll take this baby¡¯s breath, please wrap it up for me. ¡± Joes pointed at the watch in the sales assistant¡¯s hand. Her face lit up with joy and she quickly nodded. She said happily,¡±¡±Alright, customer. I¡¯ll go and wrap it up for you now.¡± The shop assistant ced the watch in a beautiful gift box and tied a blue bow on it. She also put some of the free gifts into the bag. Joes did not hesitate and followed him to the counter. After the shop assistant scanned the code, she looked at the series of numbers on it and said,¡±¡±Sir, the total is 1.2 million Yuan.¡± After all, it was a luxury store. It was a watch worth millions again, so the change was naturally erased. Joes nodded and took out a card from her bag, saying,¡±¡±Swipe your card.¡± ¡°Alright, guest.¡± The shop assistant took the bank card uneasily and swiped the card on the card machine, making a ¡°beep¡± sound. She felt that ... This was probably the most pleasant voice she had heard today. This meant that she would be able to get a considerable Commission of 1.2 million Yuan. ¡°Alright, customer, here¡¯s your watch.¡± Facing the shop assistant¡¯s sweet smile, Jossi smiled back and left the luxury store with the watch. She could naturally think of what the saleswoman was thinking, but she didn¡¯t need to care about this kind of thing. It was also her ability. ¡­¡­¡­ After returning to the car, Joes ced the gift bag with the watch in the front passenger seat and headed to the hospital. She was a little nervous along the way. If she went to the hospital this time, she would know if she was pregnant. She couldn¡¯t tell what she was feeling. Did she want this child, or did she think it was too early? In short, her heart was in a mess, and she couldn¡¯t understand what she was really thinking. Hence, joesse put aside these thoughts for the time being. In any case, she had to go to the hospital for a checkup now. Five minutester, the car arrived at the hospital entrance. After Joes stopped the car by the side of the road, she opened the door and took a deep breath before deciding to get out. ¡°Calm down, calm down!¡± She warned herself in her heart and forced herself to calm down. Then, she entered the hospital. There were quite a lot of people in the hospital today. Joes had made a callst night to book a time. After searching for a while, she found the counter where the nurse was. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. Hearing a clear female voice, the nurse raised her head and saw the beautiful joesse. She could not help but smile. ¡°Hello, miss, what¡¯s the matter?¡± she asked with a smile. Joes nodded and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s like this, I called the hospitalst night and booked a check-up today ... My name should be on theputer, I wonder if you can help me check? I¡¯m Jossi. ¡± Speaking of the pregnancy test, joesse was a little embarrassed. However, the nurse didn¡¯t think it was a big deal. She had seen this kind of thing more often.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll help you take a look.¡± After saying that, the nurse turned on theputer and searched for a name. Indeed, she saw Jossi¡¯s name. She picked up a pen and paper and wrote a list for joesse,¡±¡±Miss, you can take this form to the gynecologist for a check-up.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Joes ¡®tone was filled with gratitude. ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡±the nurse said, shaking her head. After receiving the form, Joes rushed to the hospital¡¯s Obstetrics and Gynecology Department without stopping. After handing the form to the staff, the hospital quickly arranged for Jossi¡¯s examination, which took exactly half an hour. Half an hourter, in the doctor¡¯s consultation room. After the results of the examination were out, the doctor let Jossi in and prepared to tell her the results. It was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Although it didn¡¯t smell bad, it made people feel nervous for some reason. ¡°Hello, doctor.¡± When she saw the female doctor sitting in front of her, Joes politely greeted her and sat on the chair in front of her. He didn¡¯t seem to be ill at ease, but he was nervous. The female doctor seemed to have noticed something as well. She showed a faint smile and then ced the results in front of her.

¡°This is ...¡± Joes picked up the list and nced at it. Before she could find the answer she needed, she heard the female doctor¡¯s voice. ¡°Congrattions, miss,¡± she said with a smile,¡±you¡¯re pregnant. ¡± F * ck! At that moment, Joes¡¯s grip on the paper tightened. Her guess was right. Most of the results from the pregnancy test were urate. She was still hoping for a miracle, but it turned out that she had been overthinking. The corner of Joes¡¯s eyes twitched, and her emotions instantly changed. ¡°Doctor, may I ask how long I¡¯ve been pregnant?¡± he asked after a long while. ¡°A week or so.¡± After hearing the doctor¡¯s reply, Joris tilted her head in confusion and asked,¡±¡±But I didn¡¯t get any results from the test a few days ago.¡± The female doctor was already used to this kind of thing. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, this kind of thing happens all the time. It can¡¯t be detected immediately. You¡¯re just pregnant, so you must pay attention to your diet. Also, try not to engage in intense exercise as much as possible. It will cause harm to the fetus. Do you understand?¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Joes nodded in embarrassment.¡±I understand.¡± From the doctor¡¯s gaze and the inexplicable emphasis in his tone, she seemed to know what intense exercise was. That¡¯s right. After she got pregnant, she no longer had to deal with Zheng Zeyi. That guy would have to endure for at least a year. At the thought of this, joesse¡¯s mood immediately turned for the better. After that, the doctor told joesse some things to take note of during her pregnancy. After paying the money, she left the hospital. ¡°Buzz.¡± At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Joes happened to reach the car. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a text message from old master Zheng. He must have been waiting for Jossi¡¯s arrival at home and sent her a text message when she did not appear. When she saw the message asking when she would arrive, Joes could not help but smile and reply,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯ll go over now.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. Grandpa will be waiting for you at home.¡± This sentence was inexplicably warm. Joes put her phone away. She did not go to the Zheng family immediately after she got into the car. Instead, she went to buy some health care products and other gifts for old master Zheng. Since old master Zheng had specially brought back some local specialties for her, she naturally couldn¡¯t be stingy. After buying the gifts, joesse then set off for the Qin family. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, on the other side. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s situation was pretty good. Ever since he had ced an order with the hacker, the hacker had acted quickly and directly hacked into boss Long¡¯s ount. Not only that, but he also changed the ount number to a new bank card that Zhao Hai ¡®er had applied for. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t know that the person he was talking to had already changed. He directly transferred the money to his card. Boss long hadn¡¯t brought this ount back for a few days, so Qiao Lei didn¡¯t suspect anything. Even if he got the ount back, the money was gone. What could Qiao Lei do? It was impossible for them to suspect Zhao Hai ¡®er, as she did not know boss Long¡¯s contact information, nor did she have the means to do so. Sometimes, the first-shooter had the upper hand. This meant that Zhao Hai ¡®er had taken back 270000 Yuan, and the remaining 30000 Yuan was for the hacker. After getting back all the money she had spent, Zhao Hai ¡®er did not care about the small expenses anymore. In addition, she had gotten quite a lot of money from Qian Yu during this period of time. In total, she had at least 100000 Yuan. One of the reasons was that Qian Yu was a very generous person. He was very willing toy his hands on his mistress.??? However, things would be exposed one day. On this day, Zhao Haihua was shopping in the mall. Qianyu didn¡¯t apany him and was resting in the car. This had always been their norm, and it had almost be their default way of shopping. In a luxury store.???? ¡°Wrap up these two bottles of perfume for me.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s attitude was very arrogant. Now that she had money, she was much more confident. After the sales assistant heard this, she nodded and took the two bottles of perfume she pointed to the counter. Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t stop because of that. She continued to choose the most expensive perfume in the shop. He didn¡¯t feel embarrassed at all. After all, he wasn¡¯t the one paying, but Qian Yu. He had already given him a bank card with tens of thousands of Yuan before he came. It was enough to buy these perfumes. Zhao Hai ¡®er would not buy anything more expensive. She would always feel more at ease if she kept some money. ¡°Miss, the total is 28888 Yuan.¡± Thedy at the front desk said politely. Zhao Hai ¡®er nodded and handed over the bank card she had taken from Qian Yu,¡±¡±I¡¯ll pay by card. ¡± ¡°Yes, miss.¡± Just as the front deskdy was about to swipe her card, a fair hand suddenly stopped her. Not only the receptionist, but even Zhao Hai ¡®er was stunned. She couldn¡¯t help but look at the person. The person who stopped the front deskdy from paying was a woman. She looked very delicate and was wearing a waist-tight dress. Her every move and smile was elegant. This was something she was born with, and she could not bepared to Zhao Hai ¡®er.? Not only that, he was also wearing branded clothes and his bags were worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. This was a luxury store, so the brand of the woman¡¯s bag was quickly recognized by everyone. The crowd eximed. ¡°Oh my God, this is Chanelle¡¯s limited edition, right? I remember there were less than ten of them. ¡± ¡°Really, really! It¡¯s a limited edition bag. This bag can¡¯t be bought even with money. This is definitely a Big Shot!¡± ¡°A luxury store is indeed a ce with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll ever have such a limited edition bag in my life.¡± Some people in the crowd were very disappointed. For all women, bags were probably one of the few things that could bepared to lipsticks. No matter how many of them there were, they were not as precious as a limited-edition bag. It was precisely because of this that these people had such a big reaction. Most of the people in the luxury stores were girls. After the man said that disappointedly, someone else continued,¡±¡±Don¡¯t even think about it. This bag can¡¯t be bought without a million Yuan.¡± ¡°A million?!¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± the man nodded.¡±I¡¯m already underestimating the price of a million. This bag is very precious.¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± The crowd kept eximing, and everyone was whispering to each other while looking at the woman with a limited-edition bag. Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Peeling off a piece of skin from her body

Zhao Hai ¡®er naturally heard this. Seeing such a woman who was more outstanding and richer than her, a trace of jealousy shed in her eyes. In her opinion, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she didn¡¯t know how to reincarnate and was born in such a poor ce like the Qiao family, she should at least be living such a bright and beautiful life. It wasn¡¯t like he was being stingy and haggling over a few Yuan. To Zhao Hai ¡®er, the house of Qiao was no longer a home. It was just a temporary ce to stay. She would move out when she found the opportunity. Zhao Hai ¡®er suppressed the jealousy in her heart and forced a smile.¡±¡±Miss, what¡¯s the matter? I¡¯m in a hurry to pay. ¡± ¡°Are you in a hurry?¡± The woman¡¯s smile, coupled with light makeup, made her look even more beautiful. One had to admit it. She was not as beautiful as joesse. Although she was not as beautiful, her temperament was more in line. The receptionist was already stunned, so Zhao Hai ¡®er had no choice but to solve the problem herself. She twitched her mouth and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m a little anxious, please make way. ¡± What was this person trying to do by standing here? She keptining in her heart, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face. She still had to pay attention to her image in a luxury store. The next moment, the woman¡¯s words shocked everyone. She said directly,¡±¡±No,¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was shocked. Just as she was about to get angry, the woman interrupted her. The woman smiled and took the bank card from the front deskdy¡¯s hand. As if to confirm something, she looked at the bank ount number on it. After looking at the ount, the smile on his face deepened. That gaze was inexplicably terrifying. Before anyone could react, the woman raised the bank card in her hand and sneered,¡±¡±With my family¡¯s money, you¡¯re still able to buy things at ease.¡± After saying that, she clutched the bank card in her hand. She didn¡¯t feel guilty at all in front of everyone. Seeing this, Zhao Hai ¡®er, who was supposed to be in the right, felt a little embarrassed. She took a deep breath. In order to make herself stronger, her eyes became more determined. ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this? you¡¯re taking my bank card in public? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll call the police?¡± ¡°Call the police?¡± The woman seemed to have heard something funny and said,¡±¡±Do you really think that calling the police will work? I¡¯m standing here today because I¡¯m fully prepared.¡± The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded. They didn¡¯t know what the situation was. ¡°You!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face was red with anger. Only the woman remained calm and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t want to embarrass yourself, then you¡¯d better listen to me. Come with me to the cafe next door and we¡¯ll have a good chat.¡± What did she want to talk about? Zhao Hai ¡®er had some guesses in her mind, and she was even certain of them. Qian Yu was so rich and outstanding. It was not surprising that he had a mistress. It was easy to guess who this woman was even if one used their toes to think. ¡°Are you going or not? I¡¯m asking you onest time.¡± Seeing Zhao Hai ¡®er freeze for a long time without replying, the woman grew impatient and started ying with the bank card in her hand. No matter how unwilling Zhao Hai ¡®er was to be suppressed, she could only agree.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°This is more like it.¡± The woman sneered, finally feeling a little satisfied. Zhao Hai ¡®er was also afraid of exposing her embarrassing act in front of so many people. It was better for them to talk than to attract attention. She loved money and could even cause trouble in joesse¡¯s shop for money. However, before any benefits were involved, Zhao Hai ¡®er could still use her brain to think about the pros and cons. The woman nced at the packed perfume on the counter and the bank card in her hand. A mocking smile appeared on her face. She didn¡¯t care about Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s feelings at all. Under a certain person¡¯s angry and shocked gaze, she said to thedy at the front desk,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t want these two bottles of perfume. You can take them. ¡± ¡°This ... Alright.¡± The front deskdy didn¡¯t know what to say. She could only nod and put away the perfume. He had originally thought that he would be able to get a decent Commission today, but now it seemed that an unexpected situation had urred. Zhao Hai ¡®er watched as the receptionist took the perfume away. After she was put away, the anger on her face intensified. This B * tch! Zhao Hai ¡®er was so angry that she was shaking. She wanted to p this woman and take the bank card. If it wasn¡¯t for her identity as a woman, how could she not say anything now? Sensing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hateful gaze, the woman smiled.¡±¡±Why are you looking at me like that? do you want it?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it! Give me back my bank card!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er shouted fiercely and was about to take her bank card. However, the woman was not frightened by this scene at all. Looking at her threatening appearance, she casually threw the bank card over. ¡°Pa!¡± A soft sound was heard, and the bank card was thrown to the ground. Everyone was dumbfounded. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do next. She looked at the bank card on the ground and felt humiliated. She said angrily,¡±¡±Are you crazy? You¡¯re ...¡± Before she could say the word ¡°bitch,¡± the woman seemed to have guessed her intentions.¡±I advise you to know your ce. With your status, you¡¯re not qualified to be arrogant in front of me.¡± ¡°You!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes widened in anger, and her breathing became more rapid. She was so angry that she wanted to attack. However, the woman ignored her after taking a nce at her. She turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence. ¡°If it¡¯s true, then quickly pick up the bank card and follow me to the coffee shop next door. If you miss out on my good mood, you won¡¯t have such good luckter. ¡± His voice was cold. Everyone watched the woman leave in silence, while Zhao Hai ¡®er was in a sorry state. The two of them formed a sharp contrast. She looked at the bank card on the ground and the woman¡¯s back. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. Fine, I¡¯ll see what this B * tch wants to do. Even if he wanted her to leave Qian Yu, she would definitely not agree if she did not have enough bargaining chips! Zhao Hai ¡®er thought about the woman¡¯s humiliating behavior and decided that she would skin her alive if that happened. Chapter 532

Zhao Hai ¡®er had forgotten that she was just a lowly mistress. She did not have the right to make so many requests. She was rich and good-looking, so there was no need to hold on to Qian Yu. Just as Zhao Hai ¡®er was about to pick up the bank card on the ground, she realized that everyone¡¯s eyes were on her. Moreover, there was more or less a hint of stir-fried noodles. Not everyone was a fool, and some things could still be seen. All the women present knew why the woman was targeting Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious when she saw the mocking look in their eyes. She shouted,¡±¡±What are you looking at? Don¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business!¡± Her angry roar was something that no one had expected. After someone came back to his senses, he couldn¡¯t help but sneer,¡±¡±I¡¯m just looking at you. What are you feeling guilty about?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. No one said anything. Don¡¯t you know what you did?¡± ¡°Terrifying.¡± Some people were toot, but because they were close, they could still be heard clearly. ¡°None of your business!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said angrily.¡±I don¡¯t need you to meddle in my business. Stop talking nonsense!¡± After saying that, she picked up the bank card on the ground and left, looking a little embarrassed. ¡°Tsk, you really think that others don¡¯t know anything!¡± Someone snorted in disdain. However, the two protagonists had already left, so it was useless for them to continue discussing this matter. Everyone dispersed and went to look for their favorite perfume or other luxury goods. This was the main purpose of shopping. Watching the fun was just a side effect. Zhao Hai ¡®er was still holding her bank card when she left the luxury store. She took a look at it and did not notice anything unusual. She turned around and saw that there was indeed a coffee shop next door. If she was not mistaken, that arrogant B * tch should be waiting for her inside now. ¡°Damn bitch! I¡¯d like to see what you¡¯re up to!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face twisted. Fortunately, there was no one else around. Otherwise, they would have been frightened by her expression. After sorting out her emotions, Zhao Hai ¡®er kept the bank card and entered the cafe. After the farce ended, another conversation was about to begin. It was a pity that Joes did not know about this. Otherwise, she would have wanted to watch the show. She had just arrived at the Zheng family. Joes parked the car in the parking space in front of the Zheng family¡¯s house, then got out of the car with her gifts and closed the car door with a ¡®bang¡¯. When she saw the security guard, before she could say anything, she heard the security guard say respectfully,¡±¡±Mrs. Zheng!¡± Uh ... Qiao sisi was so choked up that she did not want to say anything. She had to admit that after Zheng Zeyi¡¯s warning, this security guard hadpletely changed his words. However, looking at his expression, joesse could not help butugh and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s been a long time,¡± ¡°Madam Zheng, pleasee in!¡± The security guard was a little excited to be greeted so suddenly. He quickly opened the door and invited Joes in. She nodded slightly and thanked the security guard. Then, she entered the Zheng family¡¯s office without hesitation. It was still a luxurious vi area, and all he could see were cut flowers and nts, which were pleasing to the eye. There was even a fountain in the center, and the sound of water flowing made people feel at ease. ¡°Mrs. Zheng!¡± From afar, joesse saw the nanny waving at her. It seemed like the nanny knew that she had just arrived at the joeses ¡®house. Thinking of this, she smiled and quickly walked over. ¡°Mrs. Zheng,¡± the housekeeper said with a smile,¡±the old master has been waiting for you for a long time. Pleasee with me.¡± ¡°Alright, sorry for the trouble.¡± Joesse nodded and followed the nanny to look for old master Zheng. Although she had been to the Zheng family a few times, she had never been familiar with the Zheng family¡¯s terrain. This vi district was simply too big, and there were many ces that Joes had not even been to. At most, he would take a stroll in the vi or the back garden. A few minutester, in the back garden. As expected, old master Zheng was ying chess with his good friend again today. There were only two other old masters here today. Joes had met him once before, but she was not too familiar with him. ¡°Sisi!¡± Old master Zheng seemed to have lost another game of Go. When he saw that Jossi had arrived, he quickly changed the topic. The old man opposite him was a little helpless. He was used to old master Zheng¡¯s shameless way of doing things. It wasn¡¯t the first time anyway. As long as there was something that could change the topic, he would not let it go. Upon seeing this scene, Joes blinked her eyes and guessed something. Sheughed and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯m here to see you.¡± ¡°Come, sisi,e here.¡± Old master Zheng waved his hand and pushed the chess pieces on the table. He said proudly,¡±¡±Alright, alright, let¡¯s not waste time ying chess. I¡¯m going to spend some time with my granddaughter-inw today. You two, don¡¯t just stand there. This is sisi, my granddaughter-inw. ¡± Hearing that old master Zheng was introducing her, Jossi also revealed a sweet smile. Before she could think of how to address them, old man Zheng quickly recalled this matter and said,¡±¡±Sisi, this is old ping, you can call him Grandpa ping. This is old Feng, you can just call him by his name. ¡± Even though old master Zheng said that, he was helping Joes out of her predicament by introducing her to him. Furthermore, he did not want the two old men to look down on his granddaughter-inw. In his opinion, Jossi was an extremely good existence. ¡°Hello, Grandpa ping and Grandpa Feng.¡± Joes lowered her head slightly, her tone was very polite, and with her clothes, she looked very well-behaved. These two were old master Zheng¡¯s formerrades, so they naturally didn¡¯t look down on their good friend¡¯s granddaughter-inw. Among them, old master Feng quickly took out a box and said,¡±¡±Hello sisi, I don¡¯t have anything to give you for our second meeting. It just so happens that my family is in the Jade business, so I¡¯ll leave this Jade to you. ¡± Old master Feng smiled and was about to stuff the box into Qiao SI¡¯s arms. Joesse was the first to react. She knew that this was no ordinary item when she saw the packaging of the box. These old grandpas were full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they might be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. She was too embarrassed to ept such an expensive gift. With this thought in mind, Joes hurriedly took a step back and shook her head,¡±¡±Grandpa Feng, you¡¯re too polite. You¡¯re all elders. As a junior, how can I ept your gifts? it¡¯s my fault for not preparing a gift for you. ¡± Chapter 533

Chapter 533: I didn¡¯t mean that

Trantor: 549690339

At this point, Joes could not help but feel a little vexed. If she had known that the two grandpas were here, she would not have only prepared a gift for old master Zheng. If he were to take it out now, it would be a little awkward. Old master Zheng also quickly recalled this matter and quickly said,¡±¡±Sisi, they¡¯ve just arrived. Grandpa forgot to tell you.¡± No, Grandpa Zheng, it¡¯s my problem.¡± Joesughed. On the other hand, old master Feng wanted to give her the box with the Jade in it no matter what he said. The scene was very polite. At the side, old master ping couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and said,¡±¡±Alright, alright, old Feng, don¡¯t be so show-off. The little girl is too embarrassed to ept your gift. When the Zheng family has something to celebrate, you can take advantage of the situation and send them off. No one will reject you. ¡± The thing worth celebrating that he was talking about was Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s engagement. Although he hadn¡¯t seen anything yet, old master Zheng felt that their rtionship was progressing very quickly. If there were no idents, it should be this year. Before joesse¡¯s arrival, a few of the old men had been ying chess while talking about this matter. Even without the protagonist around, they could note to a conclusion from their conversation. If he really wanted to know, he would have to ask Jossi. Since old master ping had said so, old master Feng couldn¡¯t insist. He could only nod and put the gift box away. However, he still smiled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, when it¡¯s almost time for the engagement, I¡¯ll give this to you as a gift for the engagement.¡± At the mention of the engagement, the other two¡¯s ears perked up. The most nervous person was old master Zheng. He was the one who cared the most about the results. After all, it was his grandson. Joesughed, but said without hesitation,¡±¡±No problem. I¡¯ll definitely treat Grandpa Feng to a meal when we get engaged.¡± ¡°Hahaha, then Grandpa will be waiting.¡± Seeing that the two of them were having a good conversation, old master Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was because Joes did not hesitate and directly said that she would only ept the gift on the day of the engagement. The few of them gathered together and chatted for a while. Qiao si si didn¡¯t specifically mention the existence of the gift. She only apologized to old master ping and old master Feng because she didn¡¯t prepare any gifts. The two old men didn¡¯t think much of it. As elders, they didn¡¯t need gifts from the younger generation. The atmosphere in the back garden was harmonious. The old men continued to y chess while Qiao si watched from the side. It was only when old master Feng and old master Feng started ying that the game was truly exciting. The two sides fought back and forth, each of them calcting the other¡¯s next move. Old master Zheng watched his two good friends y chess from the side and also felt a little guilty. Thinking about how he messed up the chessboard, he looked away. This old man Zheng, who had once dominated the business world and the battlefield, was first-ss in everything he did. His existence on the battlefield was even more terrifying. Shang war was the same, almost no one could scheme against him. Old master Zheng was good at everything but chess. When he yed chess, it was as if he had lost his intelligence. Regarding this, old master Zheng felt very helpless. He felt that it might be because he was old. If he was a little younger, his chess skills might have improved a little. When it was almost time for dinner, the two old men prepared to leave and bid farewell to old master Zheng. ¡°Alright, elder Zheng. Our family is waiting for us. We won¡¯t stay here any longer.¡± Old master Feng said, waving his hand. They had many children in their family, unlike the Zheng family, who only had one grandson, Zheng Zeyi. As for his son, Zheng lihan, there was nothing much to say. Old master Zheng had long been disappointed in him. It was only because of his bloodline that old master Zheng had not made a move. It was not that he was too kind. Seeing that old master Feng was leaving, old master ping said,¡±¡±Then I won¡¯t stay any longer. Sisi, see you next time.¡± ¡°Goodbye, grandpas.¡± After a polite greeting, Jossi watched as the two old men were led out of the back garden by the nanny. After old man Zheng saw his friend leave, he finally smiled.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go sisi. It¡¯s getting dark outside. You should apany Grandpa inside.¡± ¡°Okay, Grandpa Zheng.¡± Jossi smiled and entered the vi with old master Zheng. Today¡¯s weather was much colder than before. City h¡¯s weather was the same, fluctuating from hot to cold. Even the wind from outside was cold, not to mention that it was almost night time. After entering the vi, his body felt much warmer. Joes let out a breath and looked at old master Zheng.¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, do you want to sit in the living room?¡± Hearing that, old master Zheng thought for a moment and quickly agreed.¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s go sit for a while.¡± After that, the two of them went to the living room. However, they saw an uninvited guest there. It was Ma Shan. She was watching a drama in the living room. When she saw Jossi and old master Zheng enter, her expression changed. Joes took a closer look and saw that it turned from green to purple, then from purple to gold. It was truly a fascinating sight. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Before Joes could think of what to say, Ma Shan spoke first, her tone filled with ridicule. He was also much more courageous. He didn¡¯t even care that old master Zheng was present. It seemed like he had someone to back him up. Many thoughts shed through her mind, but Joes could not figure out the true reason behind it. After all, she did not see any problems rted to this. If Zheng Zeyu had been present, the result would have beenpletely different. Faced with Ma Shan¡¯s mockery and contempt, Joes¡¯s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, and she could not even be bothered with it. On the other hand, old master Zheng was a little angry. He frowned and looked at Ma Shan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I invited sisi, do you have a problem with that?¡± Ma Shan was stunned for a moment. She said with disdain,¡±¡±Dad, I don¡¯t mean that. Don¡¯t misunderstand. It¡¯s just that sisi hasn¡¯t been here for a few days, that¡¯s why she said that. After all, this is the Zheng family, she should be here more often. ¡± On the surface, Ma Shan was expressing that this was Joes¡¯s home, but in reality, she was insinuating that this was her home. The Zheng family was a well-known family, and amoner like Joes shoulde more often. However, Ma Shan did not think about it. She was a dancer and was also amoner. She entered the Zheng family as a mistress, but now she liked to use this reason to mock others. Chapter 534

Only Zheng lihan would fall for Ma Shan because he might have a problem with his brain. Why would other rich kids fall for someone with Ma Shan¡¯s personality? If they were outside, he didn¡¯t know how many enemies he would make. Just thinking about it made him feel a little scared. Zheng lihan was from a prestigious family, but he loved art. Ma Shan and he were quite fond of each other. As expected of a Toad against a Toad. Joes red at Ma Shan coldly. This time, she did not ask old master Zheng to speak up for her. Instead, she said,¡±¡±I haven¡¯t been here for a few days. I have to thank you for your concern. After all, no matter what, I¡¯m still Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. In the future ... I hope to be able to see you here, Auntie. ¡± In an instant, Ma Shan¡¯s face froze. She widened her eyes, which were filled with hatred. She did not expect that Joes would mock her for being kicked out of the Zheng family! Sisi, what do you mean by that?¡± Ma Shan maintained her expression so that it wouldn¡¯t be twisted to the point that old master Zheng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Even a fool could tell that Ma Shan was so angry that she wanted to hit her. After ncing at Ma Shan¡¯s furious expression, Joes quickly retracted her gaze and said indifferently,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. Just pretend I didn¡¯t say anything. ¡± It was a simple sentence, but it showed that he did not care about Ma Shan at all. He did not even bother to repeat it. ¡°You!¡± Ma Shan gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum, she saw old master Zheng¡¯s presence and forced herself to hold back. This old man was really in the way! She was so angry that she cursed Joss in her heart. This shameless B * tch. ¡°Didn¡¯t she just use her Foxy ways to hook up with Zheng Zeyi? Do you really think it¡¯s something presentable? bah!¡± Ma Shan cursed in her heart. In her opinion, Zheng Zeyu and his son had already made ns to seize power. They would definitely not lose to Zheng ze. By then, they would take back the entire Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. It should be their family property. And not that brat and that old man ¡®s! Joesse could tell that Ma Shan had a lot going on in her mind, so she ignored her and looked at old master Zheng.¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, let¡¯s go upstairs. There are many mosquitoes on the first floor, so it¡¯s not ufortable.¡± Wasn¡¯t the mosquito in his words Ma Shan, who was watching television here? The moment he arrived, he was already chirping non-stop, wasn¡¯t he just an annoying fly? After hearing theparison, old man Zheng could not help but smile. He seemed to be more kind, and his attitude towards her waspletely different from how he treated Ma Shan. ¡°Okay, Grandpa will listen to you. Let¡¯s go up.¡± Old master Zheng and Joes echoed each other andpletely ignored the clown Ma Shan. Looking at the two of them walking up the stairs, chatting andughing, Ma Shan was so angry that she wanted to pick up the Apple on the table and throw it at them. Of course, if she did that, she wouldn¡¯t have to live in the Zheng family anymore. The reason why old master Zheng turned a blind eye to her was because of Zheng lihan and Zheng Zeyu, who had no feelings for her. No matter what, he was still a descendant of the Zheng family. To be stranded outside ... Even old master Zheng felt embarrassed. At least, he could manage them at home. Furthermore, Ma Shan would not normally be so blind as to disturb old master Zheng, so it was still within an eptable range. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to stay in the Zheng family. ¡°Slut, what¡¯s there to be proud of!¡± Ma Shan cursed and sat back in her chair. She began to adjust her emotions. Let¡¯s see how smug this woman can be when Zheng Zeyu regains the Zheng Corporation back. She¡¯s a Vixen! As for what Ma Shan was cursing in her heart, Joes was no longer in the mood to care. The housekeeper was cleaning upstairs. When she saw the two of theming up, she quickly asked,¡±¡±Madam Zheng, old master, do you need me to brew a pot of ck tea?¡± She remembered that old master liked to drink ck tea. Hearing that, old man Zheng also recalled this matter. He nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, then you can make us a cup. Sisi,e with Grandpa to the study. ¡± After the nanny left, Jossi followed old master Zheng into his study. The study was very clean and tidy. With the nanny, it was naturally cleaned every day to maintain the best condition. In addition, there were many bookshelves in the study. Joesse scanned through the books. Many of them were from the previous era, which was the era that belonged to old master Zheng. Most of them ... Were probably books. Joes came to this conclusion after taking a look and quickly retracted her gaze. ¡°Sisi, let¡¯s go sit there.¡± Old master Zheng pointed to the soft chair and table in the middle. Joes nodded slightly and walked over with old master Zheng. Sitting on the soft chair, coupled with the faint smell of books in the study, it was as if his entire mood could slowly calm down. Joes took in a deep breath, and her nervous emotions eased. That was because ... She had to talk to old master Zheng about her engagement. As for her pregnancy, she didn¡¯t know if she should talk about it now. It was indeed the first result they had received today, but if the first person to know was not Zheng Zeyi, it would not be good. Why not ... Wait until Zheng Zeyi arrived? This was not a small matter, and joesse did not want to hide it from him. This caused her to be in a dilemma. The two of them had just started working in the study when the nanny came in with a cup of ck tea. She ced it gently on the table. She was also very sensible. After she delivered the things, she did not stay to continue disturbing him, but left directly. Old master Zheng poured a cup of tea for himself and another for Joes. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Sisi, try it. It¡¯s not bad.¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Zheng.¡± Joes smiled as well and took a sip of the ck tea. Her eyes lit up as the taste was beyond her imagination. Just as old master Zheng had said, the taste of the ck tea was indeed very good. It was just right. After taking a few sips, old master Zheng ced the cup on the table and smiled.¡±¡±Sisi, grandpa¡¯s been traveling these few days. How¡¯s it going with you and Zeyi?¡± At the mention of this matter, Joes blinked and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯ve been living with him at the blue sky Apartment for this period of time. Thepany is also steadily rising. In short ... It¡¯s all good news. Grandpa Zheng, don¡¯t worry. ¡± Of course, she was not stupid enough to tell old master Zheng about the kidnapping. It was already in the past. She still had to worry about it like an old man. There were only disadvantages and no benefits to it. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He could settle this matter by himself. Chapter 535

Hence, Joes¡¯s attitude was very natural. Old master Zheng did not expect such a big thing to happen. He nodded and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s good. ¡± ¡°Grandpa Zheng, I have something to tell you too.¡± In the end, joesse chose to tell old master Zheng, but she was still a little nervous. She tried her best to calm down and could barely meet old master Zheng¡¯s eyes. Seeing her serious expression, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback. He seemed to have guessed something and asked uncertainly,¡±Sisi, what do you want to say to Grandpa? Just say it, Grandpa will listen. ¡± Old master Zheng smiled kindly, his eyes squinting into a line. For some reason, when Joris saw that smile, her initial nervousness inexplicably calmed down. It was as if she didn¡¯t need to be nervous in front of old master Zheng. ¡°Phew ...¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile, saying,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I want to talk to you about the engagement.¡± Engagement! Hearing these two words, old master Zheng¡¯s heart was in a state of shock. He was right. When he saw Joes¡¯s expression earlier, he had already guessed that it might be about this matter, but he did not expect it to be exactly as he had guessed. After the engagement, she would be his granddaughter-inw! Furthermore, old master Zheng really liked Jossi, so it was naturally a good thing that she could be his granddaughter-inw. He was very excited inside, but old master Zheng didn¡¯t show it on his face. He coughed a few times.¡±Ahem, this is no small matter. Sisi, have you really thought it through?¡± As if he felt that this was not enough, he continued,¡±¡±This grandson of mine really doesn¡¯t know how to express himself. He only has a little talent in business. I don¡¯t know if you can ept the other things, sisi. You have to think twice. ¡± Old master Zheng had belittled Zheng Zeyi as if he was nothing, but he was actually a little too excited. Joes could not help butugh and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯ve only decided on this after careful consideration. I haven¡¯t mentioned it to Zeyi yet, but I¡¯ll tell him when he gets here. I just wanted to talk to Grandpa about this. ¡± ¡°Sisi is indeed a considerate little cotton jacket.¡± Old master Zheng chuckled. ¡°Grandpa, you really know how to joke.¡± The smile on Joes¡¯s face became even more radiant as she took a sip of the ck tea. ¡°Then, sisi, have you thought of a time for the engagement?¡± Old master Zheng asked with anticipation. Joes thought for a moment and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I think we¡¯ll have to discuss the rough time with Zeyi. Let¡¯s talk about it when he¡¯s here.¡± ¡°Sure, sure, no problem.¡± Old master Zheng calmed down a little and said,¡±¡±Sisi, wait for Grandpa.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. As she watched old master Zheng stand up and walk to the bookshelf, Joes took a look and felt a little puzzled. However, she did not ask. She nced at her phone and did not see any message from Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I don¡¯t know when he¡¯ll be here.¡± Jossi muttered in her heart before keeping her phone and putting it in her pocket. Old master Zheng walked to the bookshelf. On the surface, he looked like he was looking for a book, but he was actually secretly taking out his phone. Under the cover of the bookshelf, old man Zheng sent a simple message to Zheng Zeyi. That was to tell Zheng Zeyi that joesse had mentioned the engagement and ask him toe back quickly so that they could discuss a date. After sending the message, old master Zheng took a look at Joes, who was drinking her tea. After making sure that no one had noticed his abnormality, he put away his phone. He nced at the bookshelves, randomly picked a book from inside, and then put it on the table. Sisi, I think you can read this book.¡± Old master Zheng smiled very kindly. ¡°Alright, let me take a look then, Grandpa Zheng.¡± After speaking, Joes picked up the book and took a look. It was a book about business, and it was indeed a good book for her. After all, for old man Zheng to put it on the bookshelf, it had to be something worth redeeming. After a few nces, Joes said in surprise,¡±Grandpa Zheng, can I borrow this book to read for two days?¡± Old master Zheng agreed without hesitation.¡±¡±Of course you can. Grandpa¡¯s books are your books. You¡¯re about to be a member of the Zheng family. You don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. You can read any book on the shelf. ¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s words made Jossi a little embarrassed, but she did not reject him. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, at the Zheng¡¯s group. Top floor, in the office. ¡°President, this document was sent by our partnerpany. They said that we must let you have a look. There¡¯s no problem with it. It¡¯s just that this project isn¡¯t small, so I think we should make a decision after the president has a look. ¡± Assistant li spoke non-stop as she ced a document on the table in front of Zheng Zeyi. The document was very thin, only a few pages long. Zheng Zeyi frowned slightly. He picked up the document and was about to look through it when his phone suddenly vibrated. ¡°Buzz.¡± Assistant li was a little embarrassed when he heard the voice. He had a feeling that it was from old master Zheng or Mrs. Zheng. ¡°The president?¡± Zheng ze¡¯s expression did not change when he heard his voice. He took a look at his phone and said calmly,¡±¡±It¡¯s a message from the old man. Don¡¯t worry about him for the time being.¡± Wait a minute! Just as Zheng Zeyi was about to skip the message, he suddenly remembered the words he had just seen. There seemed to be ... The word ¡®engaged¡¯? A hint of surprise shed across Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. He could not believe that this had happened. Assistant li didn¡¯t notice anything unusual and continued,¡±¡±President, you can take a look. This project requires our investment from the start ...¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Being ordered to shut up for no reason, assistant Li¡¯s words were stuck in his throat, and his face flushed red. After he swallowed it down with much difficulty, he suddenly realized that Zheng Zeyi had picked up his phone and was reading the message carefully. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Assistant li was stunned. Normally, when old master Zheng sent a message, Zheng Zeyi would finish his work first before replying. Only Mrs. Zheng¡¯s messages were unstoppable. As long as it wasn¡¯t really an emergency, she would reply immediately. This was Zheng Zeyi! This was his President! However, assistant li couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing. Zheng Zeyi had actually read through old master Zheng¡¯s message so seriously. And after reading it, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but rise. It was definitely a smile from the heart. Chapter 536

¡°Is it really director Zheng who sent the message? Did I see it wrong? You must be mistaken!¡± Assistant li kept roaring in his heart, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face. He pretended that nothing had happened. Zheng Zeyi did not care what he was thinking. He could not help but smile. He quickly typed a few words to reply to Joes and old man Zheng. After he replied, he squinted his eyes and put his phone back into his pocket. As soon as he raised his head, Zheng Zeyi met assistant Li¡¯s gaze. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Zheng Zeyi frowned and asked,¡±¡±Why do you keep looking at me?¡± His thoughts were pulled back by his boss¡¯s cold words, and assistant li quickly shook his head.¡±¡±No, no, President. But what should we do with this document now?¡± ¡°Documents?¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at the documents on the table. He was just about to take a closer look. However, now that he knew that Jossi had mentioned the engagement, not only did he feel a little excited, but he also wanted to go to the Zheng family as soon as possible. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi quickly made a decision and picked up the document to read. He put it down five minutester. Within a short period of time, Zheng Zeyi had already memorized the general contents of the document. ¡°How is it, President?¡± Assistant li understood this. His CEO had always read documents very quickly. He was also gifted in management. No one else was as strong as Zheng Zeyi. Zheng ze pursed his lips and said,¡±¡±There are some loopholes. Go and exin it to them.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Zheng ze picked up the red pen and roughly marked the loopholes in the document, then threw the document to assistant li. Assistant li took the documents and looked at Zheng Zeyi, who had gotten up to put on his coat. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked,¡±¡±President, are you going out?¡± If it was before, assistant li would not have asked about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s matters. However, there was apany meeting scheduled today. If Zheng ze left now, the meeting would probably not be able to continue. He was clearly aware of this situation, and he was in a good mood after hearing the news of the engagement, so he gave a solution. ¡°Tell the Department managers that I have to go out for a while. The meeting will be dyed until eighto¡¯ clock in the evening.¡± ¡°This ...¡± Without waiting for assistant li to say anything, Zheng Zeyi interrupted him,¡±¡±Just do as I say and you don¡¯t have to worry about anything.¡± Since he had already said so, assistant li naturally couldn¡¯t continue to refute, so she nodded.¡±¡±I understand, President.¡± After that, Zheng Zeyi left the Zheng¡¯s group to pick up the gift for Joes. Assistant li informed the Department managers in thepany that the meeting had been postponed to the evening. ¡­¡­¡­ Joesse had no idea what had happened in thepany. She did not know how much Zheng Zeyi valued her, to the point that he could not even be bothered with thepany meeting because of the engagement. It was not that he was being willful. As the president of the Zheng¡¯s group, he had single-handedly made the Zheng¡¯s group grow to what it was today. Since he had this ability, Zheng Zeyi could do whatever he wanted. In the study. Joes listened to old master Zheng¡¯s story of his travels and found it very interesting. Old master Zheng did not say much about Yun Qi. Joes noticed this but did not ask. He probably did not want to talk about it. She didn¡¯t need to know all the grudges of the previous generation. ¡°Sisi, can you help Grandpa get some desserts from the kitchen downstairs?¡± Said old man Zheng. This was one of the local specialties of the ces he visited. He had asked the nanny to prepare it when he found out that Joes was here. It was only because the nanny was cleaning the ce that he asked joesse for help. Naturally, joesse immediately nodded and stood up,¡±¡±Okay, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯ll go get it for you now.¡± ¡°Sorry to trouble you, good child.¡± Hearing old man Zheng¡¯s kind voice, Jossi said helplessly,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me.¡± Now that they were family, thanking him would be like treating him as an outsider. After old master Zheng expressed that he understood, Jossi left the study for the time being and went downstairs to get the desserts from the kitchen. In the end, just as she reached the stairs, she met Zheng Zeyu, who seemed to be heading to the room on the second floor. Looking at this man who looked simr to Zheng lihan but waspletely different from Zheng Zeyi, joesse quickly retracted her gaze. She did not have a good impression of this Zheng Zeyu. He had seen her once at the banquet before, and he had wanted to pull her along to work together against Zheng Zeyi. It was important to know one¡¯s own limitations. Zheng Zeyu and Ma Shan were indeed mother and son. They were both greedy and felt that they could do anything. With Zheng lihan¡¯s 10% of thepany¡¯s shares, there was no way he could coerce Zheng Zeyi. If they wanted to think so, no one could change their minds. Just as Qiao sisi was about to walk past Zheng Zeyu, he suddenly said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, please wait a moment.¡± After saying that, Joes stopped in her tracks and a glint shed across her eyes. She did not know ... What was Zheng Zeyu trying to do? Zheng Zeyu went down a few steps and came in front of Jossi. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Miss Qiao, it¡¯s been a long time since west met.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time indeed. ¡± Joes said indifferently. Faced with her cold attitude, Zheng Zeyu did not care at all. He was extremely thick-skinned. He swept a nce at Joes ¡®cold expression and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s something I¡¯d like to talk to Miss Qiao about. I wonder if miss Qiao would be interested?¡± ¡°A chat?¡± Joes¡¯s tone was thought-provoking as she pursed her lips,¡±¡±Mr. Zheng, you don¡¯t need to look for me for cooperation. Last time, I rejected him. This time, I will definitely not agree. ¡± Thest time, Zheng Zeyu had pulled Qiao sisi to work with him. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi had noticed something unusual and came to help her out. ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of cooperation. ¡± Qiao si fixed her eyes on Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression and realized that he was serious. If it wasn¡¯t cooperation, what else could it be? Meeting Qiao sisi¡¯s slightly puzzled gaze, Zheng Zeyu smiled.¡±¡±Miss Qiao, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re with my brother because of the Zheng family¡¯s influence. But what I want to tell you is that it¡¯s not impossible if you want to be a powerful family like the Zheng family. ¡± Qiao SI¡¯s brows raised and her gaze immediately fell on Zheng Zeyu. It was indeed different from what she had imagined, but it was not much different. It was still because of the Zheng¡¯s group. Chapter 537

Chapter 537: What do you want?

Did he look like someone who would betray Zheng Zeyi? Qiao sisi was a little confused. She did not look like a spy, so why did Zheng Zeyu always target her? On this point, Joes was wrong. It was not because she looked like she would betray Zheng Zeyi, but because she was the person closest to Zheng Zeyi other than old master Zheng. That was why Zheng Zeyu had tried every possible way to get relevant information from Jossi. How could he let go of the existence with the greatest possibility? Jossi shook her head slightly as she recalled in her mind. Her tone was sharp as she said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, but no matter what you¡¯re talking about, I don¡¯t want to know. In the future, if something simr happens, I hope you won¡¯t me it on me. It¡¯s very annoying. ¡± ¡°You ...¡± Zheng Zeyu did not know what to say. He had never seen someone reject Qiao sisi so decisively. Shouldn¡¯t they at least listen to the contents of the n before making a decision? He actually rejected her directly! Stupid! That was what Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes were trying to express. When she caught a glimpse of his eyes, Jossi sneered and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t look at me like that. I still have things to do, so I won¡¯t talk to Mr. Zheng anymore. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to hear what the n is?¡± Seeing that Qiao sisi was really getting ready to leave, Zheng Zeyu could not help but emphasize his words, his expression serious. Joes was sessfully stopped by him. She raised her brows and said,¡±¡±If you really want to say it, it¡¯s not like I can¡¯t listen. Maybe ... I can even give you some advice, so that there won¡¯t be any loopholes in the n that will be difficult to fix. ¡± At the end of her sentence, she smiled. It seemed like she was going along with Zheng Zeyu, but she was actually mocking him. Their n was not enough to cause any trouble for Zheng Zeyi. At most, it would only cause him a little trouble. Assistant li would probably be able to solve the problem. This was the difference in vision between the two. Zheng Zeyi had been in the business world for so many years and was even known as a legendary existence by the outside world. If he didn¡¯t have some power, there wouldn¡¯t be so many people who wanted to work with the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group or Zheng ze alone. Zheng Zeyu was different. She had never been in contact with the Zheng¡¯s group and did not have a strong foundation, yet she was so confident that she could take the Zheng¡¯s group away from Zheng ze. Even Joes wanted to tell him to dream about it first. Perhaps this wish woulde true sooner in his dream. Zheng Zeyu was not a fool either. When he heard that joesse had suddenly agreed, his expression changed instantly. It turned from white to green, and then from green to purple. Joris looked at him with interest and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong, Mr. Zheng? you don¡¯t want to tell me now?¡± ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯re going too far.¡± Zheng Zeyu narrowed his eyes. He was no longer as polite as before. Or rather, he had been impolite from the beginning to the end, and it was just an act. Now that she had revealed her true appearance, Joes felt a little morefortable. She said coldly,¡±¡±Alright, I don¡¯t have time to waste with you. If you have any ns to tell me, I¡¯ll apany you anytime!¡± In the end, her gaze turned sharp. Joes did not stay there any longer. After she finished speaking, she went straight up the stairs to the kitchen, her figure gradually disappearing at the end of the stairs. Zheng Zeyu stared at her back as she left. His gaze wasplicated, and he was thinking about what he should do. This woman was the biggest variable. Of course, it was a good thing that he was able to pull her over to his side. It would also be a huge blow to Zheng Zeyi. However, Qiao sisi¡¯s unmoved attitude also made Zheng Zeyu feel very troubled. He did not know what he could do to obtain this help. If nothing unexpected happened, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain this help in his entire life. When she arrived at the kitchen, Joes saw the nanny cleaning the ce. When she saw them, she called out,¡±¡±Madam Zheng, do you need anything?¡± Mrs. Zheng ... Joes blinked her eyes and could not help but feel likeughing. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s n was still very good. Unknowingly, he had actually started to get used to this form of address. She was also used to seeing herself as a member of the Zheng family and treating old master Zheng as her own grandfather. Suppressing her thoughts, Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯m just here to take the pastries Grandpa Zheng left here.¡± ¡°The pastries that the old master left here?¡± The housekeeper asked in return. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said,¡±¡±Oh right, Mrs. Zheng, the old master¡¯s desserts are here.¡± Following the nanny, joesse came to the refrigerator and saw the nanny taking out a te of exquisite pastries. The moment he took it out, he could smell a sweet fragrance. Looking at the pastries on the te, Jossi could tell that they were not ordinary. They should be a more expensive local specialty. ¡°Auntie, have you always kept these pastries in the refrigerator?¡± Joesse asked in confusion. The housekeeper shook her head.¡±I remember it was on the table at first. I don¡¯t know why it went to the refrigerator.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ...¡± Joesse understood. She had a tinge of suspicion in her heart, but it was only a guess. It could also be said that he was overly suspicious. Old master Zheng wasn¡¯t the only one in the Zheng family. She was afraid that someone would do something to her, so she had to be more careful. For a moment, Joes did not know if she should eat the pastry or not. ¡°Mrs. Zheng, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The nanny noticed that joesse had been in a daze for a long time, and her words pulled her back to reality. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Joes quickly said.¡±I just came down to get this te of pastries. Now that I¡¯ve got it, I¡¯ll go up first.¡± ¡°Alright, Mrs. Zheng.¡± The nanny continued to deal with the matters in the kitchen and also prepared a few midnight snacks. Joes took the te of dessert and left. When she passed by, she saw Ma Shan who was watching television. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Ma Shan. ¡°By the way, if you¡¯re afraid that these people will do something, why don¡¯t you just let them try?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes lit up and she patted her head in frustration. She was still too slow. He should have thought of such a simple method before. Fortunately, it was not toote and he could still save himself. ¡°Ahem.¡± Joes cleared her throat and brought the te to Ma Shan. Ma Shan, who was still a little angry, did not expect Joes toe over again. She could not help but widen her eyes. ¡°Jessi, go!¡± She said angrily.¡±What do you want?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. ¡± Joes revealed a smile and very naturally ced the pastry in her hand on the table.

This action of hers attracted Ma Shan¡¯s attention. She looked at the pastry for a moment before looking back at Joes. In the meantime, Joes had been observing the area carefully, but she did not find anything suspicious. Could it be that there was really nothing wrong with this pastry? This was for old master Zheng, so joesse was still a little worried.¡±¡±You¡¯ve been watching TV for so long, you must be hungry, right?¡± After revealing her true colors, she didn¡¯t even bother to call her ¡®Auntie¡¯ on the surface. It was simply a waste of her feelings. Ma Shan was the same. She red at Jossi and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s none of your business. Don¡¯t be a busybody,¡± ¡°Ha ...¡± Joes was not bothered by it and picked up an exquisite piece of pastry from the te beside her. The fragrance filled the air. She took the cake and said with a smile,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng brought this back from another ce. Do you want to try it? If you miss it, you won¡¯t have this opportunity again. This thing isn¡¯t something you can eat at any time. ¡± Joes had never tried pastries before. She had seen the words printed on it before. Anyway, it was definitely not an ordinary item. After hearing Joes ¡®words and the pastry in her hand, Ma Shan finally hesitated. She swallowed her saliva, but due to her anger, she could not take the pastry from Joes. This B * tch is holding something, what good is there for her? Ma Shan thought to herself, but her eyes kept looking at the pastry, wanting to try what it was. Seeing her struggle, joesse raised her eyebrows and handed the pastry to Ma Shan,¡±¡±Try it. It¡¯s not poisoned. What are you afraid of?¡± he said. ¡°What are you saying!¡± Ma Shan red at her, but her hands did not slow down. She immediately took the cake and ced it in her hands. What Joes did not say was that she did not poison them. She did not know what Ma Shan and the rest were saying. If they had really poisoned her and Ma Shan did not know about it, then things would be interesting. After taking the pastry, Ma Shan immediately ate it. The soft and sticky pastry was indeed delicious. This could be seen from Ma Shan¡¯s expression of enjoyment. She wanted more, but just as she was about to reach for the second piece of cake, the te was taken away by joesse. Ma Shan could not help but get angry. She frowned and said,¡±What are you doing? Didn¡¯t you say you would let me try this pastry? why did you take it away now?¡± Upon hearing Ma Shan¡¯s question, Joes replied without any embarrassment,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already done my best to let you try one piece. Don¡¯t be too greedy.¡± ¡°You ...¡± Ma Shan¡¯s face turned red. The word ¡®despicable¡¯ was on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back when she saw the housekeepering out to get her things. In the Zheng family¡¯s Vi, she really had to watch her words. Just because old master Zheng turned a blind eye didn¡¯t mean that he was a vegetarian and could tolerate everything. Bitch! He should have died long ago! Ma Shan was cursing Joes in her heart. She knew about the fire incident. When she saw the news, she was stillmenting about how this little B * tch did not die in the fire. She was really lucky. If she died, she would have one less person who she didn¡¯t like. ¡°You¡¯re looking at me like that. Do you have something against me?¡± Joes looked at Ma Shan and took a step forward before she could react. The sudden sense of oppression shocked Ma Shan. She was not as tall as joesse. Now that she was so close to her, she could only look up at her, and her imposing manner instantly became shorter. Ma Shan lowered her head guiltily and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m also your elder, can¡¯t I look at you?¡± ¡°Elder, you¡¯re really shameless.¡± Joesughed coldly.¡±You should be satisfied with just one piece. Don¡¯t dream too well.¡± ¡°Joes!¡± This time, Ma Shan¡¯s anger waspletely ignited. Fortunately, Joes had already noticed this and took a step back to avoid Ma Shan¡¯s hand. Seeing that she was about to carry out the next step, joesse chuckled and said,¡±¡±If you continue like this, I¡¯m going to call security. Do you want that to happen?¡± ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Ma Shan gritted her teeth. No matter how resentful she was, she could only let go of her hand in the face of joesse¡¯s confident threat. ¡°Yes!¡± Joes nodded slightly.¡±I am indeed threatening you, but what can you do about it?¡± She did not do what she said. Even if it was an obvious threat, Ma Shan could not do anything. Ma Shan looked at joesse with an evil gaze. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and calmed down. After she sat back on the sofa, she said that she would ignore Joes. Looking at this scene, even Joes herself was filled with shock. She did not expect this to be the oue. She had thought that with Ma Shan¡¯s personality, she would have to kick up a fuss after such a thing happened. This pastry ... Should not have any problems. Joes nced at the te in her hands and pursed her lips. She no longer cared about the angry Ma Shan on the sofa and walked straight to the stairs. At the staircase, Zheng Zeyu was doing something and had not left. He must have seen the argument between her and Ma Shan, but he did not say anything. Even when Qiao sisi walked past him, Zheng Zeyu pretended that he did not see anything. It was quite puzzling. Joes could not understand the way this mother and son thought, so she temporarily put it to the back of her mind. Soon, she was back in the study. Old master Zheng also waited for a while and filled two cups of hot ck tea for them. The entire study room was very warm. With someone around, it felt even more warm and quiet. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, I¡¯m back.¡± The first thing old master Zheng heard was Jossi¡¯s voice, then she freed one hand to open the door. Old master Zheng couldn¡¯t help butugh.¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re finally back. Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± ¡°I just spent some time down there.¡± Joes smiled as well, then ced the te on the table. She didn¡¯t mention what happened downstairs to old master Zheng. It was unnecessary. Joesse let Ma Shan try the pastry because she was worried that they would find out from the nanny that the pastry had been moved. Only then did he think of a way to probe. From the looks of it, it was not a big problem. At least, Ma Shan dared to eat it herself. She could not possibly bring harm to herself. The possibility that Ma Shan did not know was extremely low, it was impossible. ¡°Sisi, Grandpa brought this pastry back from Yunqi. It¡¯s a very famous specialty there. Try it and see how it tastes.¡± Chapter 539

After the desserts were ced on the table, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t wait to start introducing them. Joes pushed the te forward and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, let¡¯s try it together.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± After agreeing, old master Zheng picked up a piece of cake and it melted in his mouth. It was sweet and delicious. It didn¡¯t stick to the teeth, and it wasn¡¯t too sweet either. It was just right and extremely delicious. Old master Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up. He had never tried it before, so he didn¡¯t know how it would taste. It was because he wanted to buy it for Joes that he had specially brought back a bunch of local specialties. Now, it seemed that the food was beyond his imagination. It was even more delicious than he had imagined. Old man Zheng thought it was delicious, but joesse was not surprised. She took a bite of the pastry and found that it had a very delicate texture. No matter what, it was worthy of its price and reputation. ¡°Grandpa Zheng, you have a good eye. These desserts taste really good.¡± Joes could not help but praise him. After hearing that, old master Zheng was also very happy.¡±¡±To be honest, this is grandpa¡¯s first time trying this. I¡¯ve eaten other vors before. I didn¡¯t expect this kind to be good too. If it¡¯s good, you should eat more. Grandpa also bought a lot for you. ¡± It had to be said that old master Zheng really doted on Jossi. He had never raised a daughter, and Zheng Zeyi was a grandson that made him worry less, so there was nothing for old master Zheng to worry about. Hence, now that Jossi had appeared, old master Zheng truly treated her as his own granddaughter. They were a real family. Seeing old man Zheng¡¯s true feelings, Joes smiled from the bottom of her heart and nodded without refusing.¡±¡±Thank you, Grandpa Zheng.¡± ¡°Just call me Grandpa in the future. You don¡¯t have to call me Grandpa Zheng. It sounds too distant.¡± Old master Zheng chuckled. This request wasn¡¯t difficult for joesse. It could even improve their rtionship, so she naturally agreed. The grandfather and grandson were like biological children. They chatted about many things in the study, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. ¡­¡­¡­ Downstairs. Inparison, the atmosphere in the living room downstairs was not as good. When she saw her soning down, Ma Shan¡¯s expression immediately became unsettled. She looked away in embarrassment. Clearly, he felt that he was at a disadvantage when he spoke to Joes earlier and was rather embarrassed. Zheng Zeyu nced at his mother and sat on the left side of the sofa. The two of them were not far apart. Ma Shan¡¯s eyes were fixed on the television. She cleared her throat and said,¡±¡±Son, I can¡¯t stand that B * tch anymore. There¡¯s no way she¡¯ll work with us.¡± Recalling what had happened just now, Ma Shan felt angry. Joes did not give him any face at all. Her words were sharp and painful, but he did not dare to retort. Zheng Zeyu had also run into a wall just now, so he naturally knew about this. He frowned slightly and said with an unsightly expression,¡±¡±This woman is a very important part.¡± ¡°If we can convince her to help us, we¡¯ll definitely be able to take over the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group. Zheng Zeyi values her a lot.¡± ¡°But Zeyu, didn¡¯t you see that b*tch¡¯s expression just now? How can he help us when he¡¯s humiliating us like this?¡± At least, Ma Shan had some brains. She knew that it was impossible for her rtionship with joesse to improve. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyu smiled.¡±¡±Mom, don¡¯t be so worried.¡± His expression was certain. After seeing it, Ma Shan asked with uncertainty,¡±¡±Zeyu, don¡¯t tell me you have a better way to deal with that woman?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t say I dealt with him.¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly, then stood up and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s see how it goes first. Lin Xiu ¡®er has already obtained the Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s confidential documents.¡± ¡°With this document, we can do something to the Zheng¡¯s Financial group¡¯s recent projects and put everything else aside.¡± You got the confidential document? Upon hearing these words, Ma Shan¡¯s heart was instantly filled with joy, and her expression was clear. She finally let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile,¡±¡±Zeyu, you¡¯re still the one who does things well. You got the documents so quickly.¡± As for what Zheng Zeyu was going to do, Ma Shan did not ask further. It was not her ce to care about such things. If Zheng Zeyu had something to do, he would tell her directly. If he didn¡¯t say anything, it meant that she was not needed and could just stay in the Zheng family. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± Zheng Zeyu smiled with determination. Just as he was about to leave, a person walked straight into the living room from the main door. After that person arrived, the atmosphere instantly changed. Zheng Zeyu had a smile on his face just now, but now he waspletely frozen. After he came back to his senses, his smile gradually disappeared. Ma Shan, who was sitting on the sofa, also lowered her head in embarrassment, hiding her obvious emotions. The person was Zheng Zeyi! He was wearing a ck suit, and his handsome face had a touch of coldness. At this moment, he was standing in the living room, forming a strong sense of oppression. This feeling was clearly transmitted to Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu. As a result, the two of them, who had been able to smile and talk a moment ago, were now silent and did not say a word. This situationsted for a long time before it changed. After a while, Ma Shan broke the silence and said with a smile,¡±¡±Zeyi, you¡¯re back.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze fell on her and he said without giving her any face,¡±¡±I have nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t call me that.¡± Ma Shan¡¯s face was filled with embarrassment, but she was furious inside. This was not the first time Zheng Zeyi had done this. Compared to joesse, her words were more infuriating, and he could not help but seek revenge. Perhaps there was another reason, and that was the same sex repelling each other. After some thought, Ma Shan twitched the corner of her mouth and said,¡±¡±Zeyi, Auntie is an elder, how can you talk to me like that?¡± ¡°Shut up,¡± he said. The next moment, Zheng Zeyi spat out a few words mercilessly. His gaze was sharp, as if he could see through all of Ma Shan¡¯s dirty thoughts. It was shocking. For so many years, apart from being unhappy with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s existence, Ma Shan also had a hidden fear of him. This little brat¡¯s eyes were simply too frightening! Ma Shan¡¯s body trembled and she quickly looked away, trying not to meet Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. Once Zheng ze told her to shut up, Ma Shan really did so. Today was different from the past. If it was any other time, Ma Shan would not have given up so easily. After all, she was used to being arrogant. However, when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze today, which was different from the past, she was a little scared. Chapter 540

Seeing how useless his mother was, Zheng Zeyu cursed her in his heart. He quickly sorted out his emotions and took a step forward. He said with a smile,¡±¡±Brother, I remember that you have to deal with some work in thepany today, right?¡± ¡°And I was supposed to have a meeting. Why did you suddenlye back?¡± It looked like a normal question, but in fact, he was secretly inquiring about thepany. After Zheng Zeyi spoke, he looked away, and Ma Shan felt the pressure on her decrease. He nced at the smiling Zheng Zeyu and curled his lips.¡±¡±How did you know about thepany meeting?¡± Not only Zheng Zeyu, but even Ma Shan was stunned. A strange look shed across Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes. He thought for a while and said with a smile,¡±¡±I heard about it. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Even though he said that, Zheng Zeyi did not think so. The smile on his lips was a little yful. It seemed that there were still many of Zheng Zeyu¡¯s men in thepany, and she had to find time to clean them up. Zheng Zeyi was not that kind to people who were not under hismand. Once he found any clues, he would definitely get rid of them without mercy. Zheng Zeyi nced at the two people in front of him and finally looked away. He hade back to the Zheng family today to deal with important matters, and he didn¡¯t want to waste his time with these two self-righteous people. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi did not dy any longer. He immediately walked toward the stairs. Seeing that he had taken action, Zheng Zeyu was slightly taken aback. He had initially wanted to continue asking, but he dismissed the idea. Looking at Zheng Zeyi, it would be strange if he really knew how to say it. But ... Zheng Zeyu frowned. Ma Shan, who was beside him, came up and asked,¡±¡±Zeyu, why did Zheng Zeyi suddenlye back?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure,¡± If Zheng Zeyu knew about this, he would not have tried to get information from Zheng Zeyi just now. Ma Shan¡¯s clueless look also made Zheng Zeyu feel slightly irritated. However, she was still his mother after all, so he suppressed this emotion in his heart and did not show it. Zheng Zeyu sighed.¡±But someone from thepany did give me a message. They said that a meeting was scheduled at this time today.¡± ¡°Since we¡¯ve seen Zheng Zeyi here, it means that he has postponed thepany meeting.¡± As the CEO, no one under him could object to whatever Zheng ze wanted to do. Furthermore, thepany would not suffer any losses. ¡°Zeyu, what do you mean?¡± Ma Shan was a little confused. Hearing that, Zheng Zeyu chuckled, the light in his eyes dark and unclear.¡±¡±Let¡¯s see what¡¯s making him so nervous. If there¡¯s a chance, we can use this matter to make an issue out of it. Mom, you should understand, right?¡± Ma Shan did not understand at first, but now that she hade to this point, she naturally understood. Immediately, she nodded her head heavily, her smile carrying a trace of viciousness.¡±¡±I know. I will definitely pull that little brat down from his position as the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group.¡± The mother and son looked at each other and began to discuss how they should proceed with the next n. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, in the study upstairs. Just as Joes and old master Zheng were chatting happily, there was a sudden knock on the door. The knock made them slightly stunned. At this moment, Joes had yet to react and was even more unaware that old master Zheng was urging Zheng ze again in private. She stood up and said,¡±¡±It might be Auntie Zhang.¡± Aunt Zhang was the nanny of the Zheng family. Old master Zheng nodded. At first, he didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with it, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Nanny Zhang would note to disturb them if there was nothing important. She might not evene once a month, so the possibility was low. The most likely possibility was ... Zheng Zeyi had returned! At this thought, old master Zheng raised his head and saw Joes open the door. The slender figure outside the door and the handsome face with a slight smilepletely stunned the little woman. ¡°Ze Yi?¡± Joes¡¯s voice was filled with disbelief before she eximed in shock,¡±¡±Why are you here so soon? didn¡¯t you say that you had something to do at thepany?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not answer immediately. Instead, he took Qiao si into the study room and closed the door. ¡°Bang!¡± After the door was closed, there were only three people left in the study. Old master Zheng had already recovered from his earlier emotions. Looking at the two of them holding hands, he revealed a kind smile and said,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re back, don¡¯t just stand there. There¡¯s a seat here,e and sit down. I¡¯ve also poured you some ck tea. ¡± After saying that, Zheng Zeyi looked at the ck tea on the table and nodded.¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. He sat down with joesse and faced old master Zheng, giving joesse the illusion that she was meeting her parents. However, she had met old master Zheng many times and knew that this old man treated her as his own granddaughter. ¡°I settled thepany¡¯s matters in advance, so I came back first.¡± Zheng Zeyi exined calmly. There was no sign of lying on his face. Joes did not suspect anything, but old master Zheng looked at Zheng ze. It was as if he was asking Zheng Zeyi if he was telling the truth. How could thepany¡¯s matters be resolved so quickly? He had also heard that there was a meeting today. However, he also felt that the engagement that Qiao sisi mentioned was more important, which was why he had urged Zheng Zeyi toe back quickly. In the end, Zheng ze dropped everything he was doing and returned to the Zheng family. It was clear how much he valued Jossi. Old master Zheng was still very happy about this. Ever since mother Zheng passed away when he was young, Zheng Zeyi seemed to have changed into a different person. He did not like to talk and would read books at the door every day to learn about business management. He also had a wealth of experience in this area. Geniuses also relied on talent and hard work. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s achievements were not just about talent. Old master Zheng had paid special attention to matters of the heart. Other than a few superficial girlfriends like Lin Xiu ¡®er, Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t have a real girlfriend at all. He had never had any real feelings for anyone. Otherwise, old master Zheng would have been able to tell. Up until now, Jossi was the person that Zheng Zeyi valued the most. He was very pleased to see this. Furthermore, old master Zheng had been in the business world for so many years. He had the ability to read people. He could tell that Qiao sisi was a good child and a suitable existence for Zheng Zeyi. Chapter 541

Zheng Zeyi noticed the look in old master Zheng¡¯s eyes, but he pretended not to see it. He cleared his throat and said,¡±¡±Cough, cough. By the way, Grandpa, what did you bring back this time?¡± He did not mention the engagement directly. Old master Zheng knew what Zheng Zeyi was thinking, so he didn¡¯t point it out. He said,¡±¡±I just bought some local products. It¡¯s not worth mentioning. How¡¯s thepany going?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll be having a meeting tonight. The funds invested in the previous project have started to turn around, and they¡¯re all within control.¡± Zheng Zeyi picked up the ck tea and took a sip, his every move exuding elegance. Qiao si listened to Zheng Zeyi and old master Zheng discussing thepany¡¯s matters and obediently did not interrupt them. It wasn¡¯t until a certain grandfather and grandson looked at each other and felt that the matter had already fermented enough that they revealed a knowing smile. Old master Zheng looked away and pretended to ask casually,¡±¡±Right, you came back just in time. There¡¯s something I need to tell you.¡± Matters? Before Zheng ze could do anything, Jossi almost choked on her ck tea. She was not prepared at all and old master Zheng had already revealed this matter to Zheng ze. ¡°Ahem.¡± She coughed and both of them looked at her. Joes¡¯s face turned red in embarrassment. After looking away, she decided that she had to say something. She couldn¡¯t always let old master Zheng speak for her. No matter what, this was a matter between Zheng Zeyi and her. After thinking for a moment, Joes said,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s just that ... Let me say what Grandpa Zheng wants to say. ¡± At this point, she paused and took a deep breath before she finally said,¡±¡±It¡¯s about the engagement. I¡¯d like to discuss it with you, Zeyi,¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the study room instantly became quiet. Just when Qiao si thought that she had said something wrong, a smile appeared on Zheng ze¡¯s face. It even dazzled joesse¡¯s eyes. It was as if Zheng Zeyi¡¯s entire body was glowing. He could not hide the joy in his heart and chuckled.¡±Alright,¡± he said. It was just a single word, but Joes could hear many meanings from it. The two of them had been together for a few months, not to mention the time they lived together a year ago. Now that she thought about it, joesse felt that she probably had some feelings for Zheng Zeyi back then. However, due to her identity and many other reasons, she had hidden them deep in her heart. As for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thoughts, she had yet to ask. Joes smiled radiantly.¡±So, you¡¯re going to propose to me. How are you going to get engaged before you even propose?¡± After she finished speaking, she realized that old master Zheng was also there. She blinked her eyes and didn¡¯t think much of it. If Zheng Zeyi could get his hands on it so easily, would he still cherish it? Old master Zheng was also on joesse¡¯s side, so he quickly chimed in,¡±¡±Sisi is right, if you want to get engaged, you have to show some performance. I can¡¯t let sisi follow you for nothing, right sisi?¡± Looking at old master Zheng¡¯s winking face, joesse¡¯s smile became even more radiant.¡±¡±Thank you, Grandpa Zheng.¡± ¡°Grandpa is your biological Grandpa. You don¡¯t have to be polite with me!¡± Old master Zheng waved his hand with a kind expression. The two of them echoed each other, making Zheng Zeyi, who was watching, very helpless. He chuckled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let sisi marry me for nothing. ¡± At this moment, a change suddenly urred. Crack ... Crack ... With a soft sound, the door was opened. A few security guards in uniform came in from outside. They were all security personnel working in the Zheng family and were also under Zheng Zeyi¡¯s orders. Looking at their appearance, Joes was momentarily unable to react. Her red lips were slightly agape, not knowing what to say. These security guards in ck uniforms were all holding things in their hands. The most eye-catching one was the first person who entered the study room. He was holding a handful of baby¡¯s breath. The faint fragrance could be smelled by Joes from afar. She couldn¡¯t see the person behind her clearly, but she had a premonition. Zheng Zeyi took the bunch of baby¡¯s breath from the security guard and knelt on one knee under everyone¡¯s gaze. Joes¡¯s pupils contracted. She had never expected that things would develop to this stage, and her heart began to tremble. Without waiting for Qiao si toe up with an exnation, Zheng Zeyi immediately took out a diamond ring from his pocket. This was a diamond ring from the brand,¡¯t-r¡¯. It was a very famous brand. The reason was simple. No matter who you were, a multi-billionaire President or a street vendor, you could only order one in your life. Of course, it meant that it could only be given to one person. There were many types of diamond rings that could be customized, but the person you wanted to give it to had to be the same person from the beginning to the end. This was the reason why this brand was so popr. It knew how to mobilize everyone¡¯s emotions and instantly broke into the high-end market. Of course, Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi understood that this was a business tactic. However, this diamond ring had a different meaning to them. Since Zheng Zeyi had chosen to be with Joes, it proved that he would only be with Joes for the rest of his life. It was a promise that he had never spoken of. The design of the diamond ring was modern, and the size of the diamond was just right. It was diamond-shaped and very beautiful. Under the soft light of the study, it reflected a dazzling light, making people reluctant to look away. Joes was in a daze for a few seconds before she heard a maic voice,¡±¡±Sisi, we met each other a year ago.¡± At this moment, the scene from a year ago gradually surfaced in his mind. Recalling the state of the two of them back then, Joes could not help but smile. She had indeed been very arrogant back then. It was the same for Zheng ze. Neither of them was willing to admit defeat. At that time, Qiao si si even thought that she had no feelings for Zheng ze at all. ¡°I¡¯ve liked you since a year ago, but I lied to you and crossed your bottom line. ¡± ¡°Sisi, I promise you that I will never lie to you again. From now on...You will be Mrs. Zheng of the Zheng family, my wife.¡± When she met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze, Qiao sisi panicked for a moment. This was the first time she had seen Zheng Zeyi with such a serious expression. His deep eyes were like a Whirlpool that could suck her in. He had only wanted to discuss the engagement with old master Zheng and Zheng Zeyi, but things had developed beyond his expectations. ¡°Sisi, marry me.¡± Qiao sisi¡¯s heart trembled, and her gaze fell on Zheng Zeyi with deep affection. The atmosphere seemed to have frozen, and no one dared to breathe. Even old master Zheng had a smile on his face and fell silent. Chapter 542

She held the teacup, but did not take a sip. A gentle breeze blew in through the window, lifting Qiao sisi¡¯s hair. She fixed her eyes on Zheng Zeyi and unknowingly, her smile deepened. Very quickly, Joes made a decision in her heart and nodded her head solemnly.¡±Alright, I promise you.¡± He agreed! All the security guards widened their eyes in shock. Even elder Zheng¡¯s hands were shaking with excitement. As the protagonist, the CEO of the Zheng¡¯s group, Zheng Zeyi, had been in power for so many years, but this was the first time he had been so emotional. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and it was obvious that he was smiling from the bottom of his heart. The joy in his eyes could not be ignored, and even Joes could not help but smile. Seeing Zheng Zeyi so happy made her feel even better. ¡°Sisi.¡± Eh? Just as joesse was about to reply, Zheng ze pulled her into his arms and she could feel the warmth of his chest. ¡°Bang Bang.¡± Through ayer of clothes, she seemed to be able to hear the strong heartbeat, and her ears were a little red. Zheng Zeyi looked at the woman in his arms and his arms tightened. He wished he could pluck all the stars from the sky for her. Since she was his wife, he had to pamper her. Seeing this, old man Zheng nodded his head in satisfaction. He gave the security guards a look, signaling them to quickly heat up the atmosphere. ¡°Pa pa!¡± In the next moment, the study room was filled with thunderous apuse. The security guards kept pping, and a series of crisp apuse apanied by their sincere blessings rang out. ¡°Congrattions, young master Zheng and Mrs. Zheng!¡± ¡°Congrattions!¡± A sense of jubtion arose spontaneously, and the atmosphere of the entire study room instantly changed. Old master Zheng was very happy to see this scene. He stood up from his seat and walked in front of the two of them. He smiled and said affably,¡±¡±Since the two of you have made a promise to each other, you must keep it. Do you understand?¡± To Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi, old man Zheng was their only elder, so they naturally had to respect him. Joes blinked and nodded.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Zheng. I¡¯lle to the Zheng family often to keep youpany.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good,¡± Old master Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. However, Zheng Zeyi was a little unhappy and said,¡±¡±If youe to the Zheng family every day, what about me?¡± ¡°You?¡± Qiao si si did not expect Zheng ze Yi to be so childish and to be jealous of her. Sheughed helplessly after she came back to her senses. Old master Zheng¡¯s mouth twitched as well.¡±¡±How old are you? don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not feel embarrassed at all. He even raised his eyebrows and met old master Zheng¡¯s gaze without any guilt. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s just normal.¡± Upon hearing this, old master Zheng couldn¡¯t wait to see what was inside his grandson¡¯s head. Why was there such a huge difference between him and his grandson? Before he met Qiao sisi, old master Zheng had never seen this side of Zheng Zeyi, but now he was seeing it frequently. This also allowed old master Zheng to know that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude towards the Zheng family was not due to his personality. It was because of his childhood and mother Zheng that Zheng Zeyi only had hatred for Zheng lihan. He did not have any sympathy for him at all. Old master Zheng couldn¡¯t help but sigh when he suddenly thought of this. He quickly regained hisposure. Today was the day that Qiao sisi and Zheng ze had decided on their engagement date. Let bygones be bygones and don¡¯t think about it anymore. Old man Zheng squeezed out a smile and said,¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s sit down and chat.¡± ¡°Okay, Grandpa Zheng.¡± The first one to agree was Qiao sisi. Just as she was about to sit down, Zheng Zeyi pulled her back. Feeling the warmth on her hand, Joes turned around in confusion and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Then, Zheng Zeyi curled his lips and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s something that I think you¡¯ve forgotten about. ¡± ¡°What?¡± Under joesse¡¯s gaze, Zheng Zeyi put the ring on her finger. On her ring finger, there was a diamond ring. The diamond on it was dazzling and eye-catching. It also showed that she was now Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Joes was slightly stunned and could not help but shyly hide her hands behind her back.¡±Cough, cough, you¡¯re too kind.¡± He had a mature appearance. Old master Zheng was even more delighted to see this. After he sat back in his seat, he smiled and took a sip of ck tea. The slightly sweet and bitter taste was refreshing. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to rest. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not allow any exnation and immediately brought Joes back to their seats. His actions were very gentle as he was afraid that he would hurt Joes if he used too much force. His actions made old master Zheng feel even more helpless. His grandson had really found a girl he wanted to dote on for the rest of his life. It was just a littlete. If it had been earlier, old master Zheng would not have to worry so much about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s marriage, even though he did not mean it. In addition, the security guards in the study didn¡¯t dare to move, but one could see some joy on their faces. They were naturally happy that their young master had found Madam. ¡°Other than the diamond ring, I¡¯ve prepared other gifts for you. I hope you can ept them.¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth lifted slightly and he gave a look. The security guards who had been waiting at the side all came forward and handed the things in their hands to Zheng Zeyi. First of all ... There was a thick document. It was ced in a folder, and he couldn¡¯t see what was written on it. Qiao si took a look and the itemnded in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands. A glint shed across his eyes and his voice became gentler. ¡°Sisi, I have a total of 12 properties in city h, including vis and apartments. I¡¯m transferring them to you now and you can help me keep them safe.¡± After saying that, Zheng Zeyi ced the document in joesse¡¯s hands. After hearing this, she waspletely dumbfounded. She said in surprise,¡±¡±Why do you want me to help you keep so many properties?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re my wife.¡± Seeing the seriousness on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s handsome face, Qiao SI¡¯s heart was touched. She let out a long sigh and exined,¡±¡±Zeyi, you know that I¡¯ve never been with you for your money. I¡¯ve only been with you. You can keep these properties by yourself. You don¡¯t have to hand them over to me. ¡± Just as Joes was lecturing him, Zheng Zeyi hadpletely ignored her advice and stuffed the document into her hands. His actions were so fast that no one could react in time. Chapter 543

Chapter 543: What are you thinking?

He said in a manner that allowed no refusal,¡±Sisi, I told you to keep it for me, so I¡¯ll let you keep it. I¡¯ve already drawn up the transfer agreement, so you can¡¯t refuse me. ¡± This was what Zheng Zeyi was worried about. Otherwise, he could have transferred all his real estate under his name to Jossi. Being a henpecked husband wasn¡¯t a bad thing, and he was working hard for it. Now that things hade to this, old master Zheng felt that he couldn¡¯t just keep quiet. He went along with his grandson.¡±Sisi, this is a gift from Zeyi. Please ept it. The two of you will be living together in the future.¡± Zeyi¡¯s things are your things, so you don¡¯t have to be so polite with him. There¡¯s no need for the two of them to be so distant. ¡± ¡°But Grandpa Zheng ...¡± Joes was still hesitating. The total value of these properties was definitely not as simple as a few hundred million. Moreover, these were all Zheng Zeyi¡¯s private property that belonged to city H. Zheng Zeyi had businesses in other cities and even overseas. It was clear how big the Zheng¡¯s group was now. It was also clear how powerful Zheng Zeyi was. Not everyone could achieve what he had achieved, all thanks to his talent and hard work. For example, Zheng Zeyu, who had been eyeing the Zheng¡¯s group covetously, could not possibly have such an ability. To put it bluntly, even if the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group was handed over to him, he might not even go bankrupt. Seeing that Jossi was still hesitating, old master Zheng pretended to be angry and said,¡±¡±Sisi, are you not going to listen to Grandpa anymore?¡± ¡°Sisi, my grandfather has already said so. If you still don¡¯t ept it, then you¡¯re being unreasonable.¡± Zheng Zeyi smirked, as if his scheme had seeded. Since old master Zheng had already said so, she naturally couldn¡¯t reject him. However, before she spoke, she red at Zheng Zeyi, who was jeering at her, and said,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I didn¡¯t mean that. I can keep these things, but I¡¯ll only be keeping them for ze Yi. This is my principle, I hope Grandpa Zheng can understand me. ¡± This ... Old master Zheng looked at the determined expression on joesse¡¯s face and finally gave in. ¡°Grandpa understands what you mean. That¡¯s it then,¡± There were some words that were useless to say, and it was enough to understand what they meant. Old master Zheng also knew that Qiao sisi was a good child and would not covet Zheng Zeyi¡¯s money. At this age, if he couldn¡¯t even see this clearly, then wouldn¡¯t he have lived half his life in vain? Zheng ze¡¯s smile deepened when he saw that Qiao si had decided to take her in. He was only satisfied after seeing her sign the agreement. In addition to this agreement, there were many other gifts. For example, the shops that Zheng ze had found long ago were all located in the most prosperous areas of city H. One would have to pay a high price to get them. Even though joesse did not know what Zheng Zeyi had done, she knew that it was not simple. There were so many things that Qiao sisi could not help but facepalm. Was Zheng Zeyi going to give her all his assets? Seeing that the security guards were about to continue, she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and quickly stopped them.¡±¡±Alright, alright, that¡¯s enough.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not enough,¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head slightly. These things were only a small part of it. He liked Jossi, and no matter what she wanted, he would do his best to fight for it. Zheng Zeyi also hoped to provide the best for joesse. Upon seeing this, Joes furrowed her brows slightly and pretended to be angry.¡±¡±Zeyi, this is enough for now.¡± She looked as if she would get angry if he did not agree. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude softened. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Since you think that¡¯s enough, I won¡¯t exin it to you one by one. Take all the things away, you¡¯ve worked hard. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s not hard, young master!¡± The security guards said one after another, their voices reverberating through the entire study. After they went down, the study room suddenly became much emptier, leaving only the three of them inside. ¡°Sisi, what are your thoughts? when do you want to hold the engagement party?¡± Old master Zheng asked curiously. He had ced a lot of importance on this matter from the start. Now that Zheng Zeyi had proposed, it was time to see the final oue. After hearing that, Joes thought for a moment andughed,¡±¡±Grandpa Zheng, I don¡¯t have any objections to this. It¡¯s fine to pick a better day.¡± After all, it was an engagement, and they had to choose an auspicious day. Zheng Zeyi was listening at the side. His usual cold face was now smiling. If the group of employees in thepany saw this, they would probably be surprised. Old man Zheng had been preparing for the engagement for a long time. He smiled and took out a calendar from the shelf next to him. ¡°Then let Grandpa take a look for you.¡± When she saw old master Zheng¡¯s smile, Qiao sisi nodded. Surprisingly, Zheng Zeyi did not refute. It wasn¡¯t too much to let old master Zheng handle such a big matter. After the security guards outside the study had left, the things were kept away and were to be taken away by Zheng ze¡¯s menter. This scene was also seen by Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu, who were in the living room. Ma Shan craned her neck to take a look and retracted her gaze. She was a little puzzled.¡±What are those people holding?¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s hand that was holding the ss of water paused, and his eyes were a little dangerous.¡±¡±They should be Zheng Zeyi¡¯s things, don¡¯t worry about them.¡± ¡°But ... There was quite amotion upstairs just now.¡± The Zheng family¡¯s soundproofing was very good, so they couldn¡¯t hear anything upstairs from downstairs. However, they could hear some of the security guards ¡®voices. Ma Shan pouted and said in disdain,¡±¡±Who knows what they¡¯re up to? they think they¡¯re so great just because they have apany. Thispany will be my son¡¯s sooner orter.¡± Faced with Ma Shan¡¯s solemn vow, Zheng Zeyu did not say anything. Instead, he fell into deep thought. He looked at the back of the group of security guards leaving and thought about what had happened upstairs just now. ¡°Son, what are you thinking about?¡± Zheng Zeyu did not respond for a long time, and Ma Shan also realized that something was wrong. Hearing his mother¡¯s voice, Zheng Zeyu snapped out of his thoughts. He shook his head slightly and said,¡±¡±Nothing much. Mom, where did dad go today?¡± she asked. He was asking about Zheng lihan. Ma Shan replied,¡±¡±There¡¯s an art exhibition in city h these few days, and your dad went inside to see the paintings. He¡¯s been going out early anding backte. Is there something you need from your dad? Or do you want to ask aboutpany matters?¡± Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Chapter 545-not presentable

Trantor: 549690339

At this moment, Ma Shan hadpletely forgotten that Zheng Zeyu had not even managed to sneak into thepany, let alone ask about thepany¡¯s Affairs. If Zheng lihan did not have 10% of the Zheng¡¯s group¡¯s shares, they would not even have the right to dream about thepany! Zheng Zeyi would never let them get involved in the Zheng¡¯s group. ¡°No, I¡¯m just asking what dad has been up to recently. When hees back, remember to tell him that the n is about to start.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression was grave. Sess or failure would depend on the results. He did not want to lose to Zheng Zeyi after giving it his all. He had to get the Zheng¡¯s group! Ma Shan knew her son very well. Seeing his expression, she knew the seriousness of the matter. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± she nodded.¡±I¡¯ll tell your dad about it when hees back.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After saying what he needed to say, Zheng Zeyu did not stay any longer. He got up and left the Zheng family¡¯s Vi to work on his so-called n. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time, at the caf¨¦ in the mall. Zhao Hai ¡®er had met an opponent that could crush her. She also had an awkward identity. The cafe was ying soothing background music, and the waiter served the coffee. Staying here made people involuntarily rx. There were two women sitting opposite each other at a table in the middle. One had exquisite makeup, while the other had slightly heavier makeup. Her clothes were not as good as the other. It was Zhao Hai ¡®er and the woman. After leaving the luxury store next door, the two of them went to a coffee shop and ordered two cups of coffee. The woman sipped her coffee elegantly. Seeing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression, she did not even touch the coffee. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you drinking coffee? it¡¯s my treat. You don¡¯t have to worry about money,¡± she said with a smile. Zhao Hai ¡®er immediately clenched her clothes. Her heart was filled with anger and hatred, and she wanted to teach this woman a lesson. However, she knew that it was impossible, so she could only suppress her anger and re at her. What the woman didn¡¯t expect was that, while it might be an insult to others, it was nothing to Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s family. The whole family was thick-skinned, or rather, shameless people, so they didn¡¯t care about what others said. When they were outside, they felt that it was normal for others to treat them and that it would be a heartache if they paid for it themselves. As for Zhao Haier ... She was angry because of jealousy. She was so jealous of this morous woman that she was about to go crazy. Seeing Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes that seemed to be on fire, the woman didn¡¯t care at all. She took out a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth. Then, he crumpled it into a ball and ced it beside the te. In the end, her gaze finally fell on Zhao Hai ¡®er, and she said with a hint of mockery,¡±¡±Introduce yourself.¡± ¡°Introduction?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to introduce?¡±Zhao Hai ¡®er red at the woman. His tone was filled with anger. The woman didn¡¯t mind, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. ¡°You¡¯re the third party, yet you¡¯re still so confident. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone like you. ¡± A mistress! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression changed as soon as she heard the word. She looked around nervously. After seeing that no one was paying attention to the situation here, he heaved a sigh of relief. Being a mistress was definitely the most humiliating thing for a woman. She didn¡¯t want to be drowned in spit! Zhao Hai ¡®er panicked at the thought of those gossiping women, and her grip on her clothes tightened. As the saying goes, the wicked will be tortured by the wicked. Zhao Hai ¡®er was not afraid of Joes, who had been tortured by them for a long time. However, in the face of these powerful people, Zhao Hai ¡®er was terrified. She no longer had the Shrew temperament she had before. Seeing her panic, the woman sneered and took another sip of coffee before saying,¡±¡±How about this, I¡¯ll introduce myself first. You can call me Leng Yan, but since I¡¯ve told you my name, shouldn¡¯t you ... Return the favor?¡± The woman¡¯s tone changed a little at the end. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked away when she saw her eyes. She was still afraid. She really couldn¡¯t afford to offend people with power and influence. The possibility of relying on Qian Yu to help her was too small. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er.¡± After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Hai ¡®er finally said her name. Leng Yan seemed to have already guessed this oue and was not surprised at all. She only smiled and said,¡±¡±Tell me, when did you and Qian Yu get together?¡± When she mentioned Qian Yu, her expression did not change at all, as if she was talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with her. Zhao Hai ¡®er also noticed something was wrong. She swallowed and forced out a stiff expression.¡±Did you misunderstand something?¡± ¡°Misunderstanding?¡± Leng Yan raised her eyebrows, feeling that Zhao Hai ¡®er was a little ridiculous,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already found you and told you everything. What else do you have to hide? Of course, I¡¯m 100% sure about this matter, so I came to find you. Do you think there¡¯s a problem?¡± From the moment Zhao Hai ¡®er came out to shop, the people from Leng Yan had their eyes on her. They had been collecting evidence. Until now, she had already collected a lot of substantial evidence, so there was no need for her to be nice to Zhao Hai ¡®er. Leng Yan squinted her eyes and looked at Zhao Hai ¡®er with a dangerous look. Perhaps it was because she had been in the circle for a long time, plus Leng Yan¡¯s original character was more Swift and decisive. Zhao Hai ¡®er felt a sense of fear when she saw his eyes. ¡°What ... What do you mean? I don¡¯t understand.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes flickered. She looked away, unwilling to meet Leng Yan¡¯s eyes. Even at the brink of death, she still wanted to quibble. ¡°Hehe.¡± Leng Yan¡¯s mockingughter rang out. She said softly,¡±¡±I advise you to think carefully before you speak. It¡¯s not the first day I know about you and Qian Yu. It¡¯s just that he only came to find you today. Now that I think about it, Qian Yu¡¯s taste is really bad, how did he fall for you?¡± After speaking, Leng Yan looked Zhao Hai ¡®er up and down. To be honest, other than the fact that she was young and had some redeeming qualities, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s personality and other aspects were not up to standard. However, Qian Yu¡¯s family was quite rich, and he was in the upper-ss society. How could he like such a good-for-nothing woman? Leng Yan could not help but suspect that he was blind. Chapter 545

Chapter 545: Please give me a tiramisu

Trantor: 549690339

However, Leng Yan had misunderstood this point. Men would never reject women who took the initiative toe to their door. Previously, when Qian Yu was in the nightclub, it was Zhao Hai ¡®er who had taken the initiative to seduce him and even offered her body. In addition, other than taking some money, she wouldn¡¯t cause any trouble, so Qian Yu was willing to continue being with her. If it was someone who liked to cause trouble, no matter how good-looking he was, Qian Yu would have to consider before doing this. Leng Yan¡¯s words echoed in Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s ears. She was telling the truth. Zhao Hai ¡®er felt humiliated, and she gritted her teeth. The surging hatred in her heart almost drowned her. This B * tch actually dared to hurt her like this! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s fingers were trembling. It was obvious how angry she was. She only had a shred of rationality left. Before this trace of reason was devoured, she still did not dare to make a move on Leng Yan. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Am I wrong?¡± Leng Yan retorted, calmly taking a sip of coffee. Zhao Hai ¡®er let go of her clothes and unhappily admitted,¡±¡±So what if I am?¡± ¡°Richard, you can¡¯t control your own money and you want to me it on me?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er felt like giving up on herself. She mmed her palm on the table, making a loud sound. Even the coffee in front of him trembled and rippled.? Her actions did not stir up any particr emotions in Leng Yan. She gently ced the coffee cup in front of her, her actions elegant. This short movement did not attract the attention of the surrounding people. As Zhao Hai ¡®er stared at Leng Yan, trying to figure out what she wanted to do, Leng Yan finally opened her mouth and said,¡±¡±To be honest, I don¡¯t really care about this. But you¡¯re with Qian Yu for the money, right?¡± One sentence was enough to point out the main point. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heart clenched. What Leng Yan said was true. From the beginning, she had only been after Qian Yu¡¯s money. However, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for her at all. If she could hook up with a rich man¡¯s son like Qian Yu and rece Leng Yan¡¯s position as the first wife, she would not have to worry about the rest of her life. With a wave of his hand, Qian Yu took out hundreds of thousands of Yuan. He did not even blink when he gave her money. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not know when she had started to have such thoughts. Zhao Hai ¡®er bit her lips and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re talking nonsense. I¡¯m with Qian Yu because I like him. He likes me too, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have been with me for so long. What do you want?¡± Hearing this, Leng Yan¡¯s expression froze slightly. She did not expect Zhao Hai ¡®er to say something like that. It seemed like this woman was really not thinking straight. She shook her head and took out her phone from her bag as she said,¡±¡±I won¡¯t pursue what you¡¯ve said, and there¡¯s no need to. I¡¯ll give you a chance, I can give you however much you want, but you¡¯d better stay away from Qian Yu. ¡± If it wasn¡¯t for her family¡¯s rtionship, Leng Yan wouldn¡¯t have bothered to care about this trivial matter. This was how a business marriage was like. She didn¡¯t like Qian Yu at all, but for the sake of the family, the two of them still had to live together. Which woman would be able to ept such a womanly person? After saying that, Leng Yan waved her phone and showed the numbers on it to Zhao Hai ¡®er.¡±¡±Is five hundred thousand enough? I¡¯ll give you 500000 Yuan, and you¡¯ll leave Qian Yu. Don¡¯t get close to him in the future. If you agree, I¡¯ll give you the money now. ¡± Five hundred thousand? Seeing this number, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s jaw dropped. She was so lost that she couldn¡¯t remember anything. She had been with Qian Yu for a long time, but she had not even reached 500000 Yuan. But this woman was asking for 500000 Yuan! It could be seen that Leng Yan was indeed rich! What was even more tempting was that he had asked for 500000. Could the price continue to increase? Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s thoughts became more and more active. She swallowed and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re only giving me 500000 Yuan if I leave Qian Yu?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Leng Yan nodded. The reason for this was to prevent Qian Yu from being caught and having any scandals. This sum of money was naturally Qian Yu ¡®S. Leng Yan would not be so foolish as to use her own money to ask her mistress to leave Qian Yu. That would be too foolish. ¡°Let me think about it.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said hesitantly. Her anger had long since dissipated. She took a sip of her coffee and began to think about the pros and cons of this matter. Leng Yan could also tell, but she didn¡¯t say anything. She nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll give you some time to think about it.¡± Leng Yan could still afford to wait for a few minutes or more to see what this woman wanted to do. After all, the temptation of 500000 Yuan was huge. Zhao Hai ¡®er would not give up so easily. The other reason was that Qian Yu¡¯s personal value seemed to exceed 500000, which was why Zhao Hai ¡®er was so conflicted. After taking this 500000 Yuan, he would not be able to take money from Qian Yu anymore. But if she didn¡¯t want the 500000 and continued to be with Qian Yu, would she have an endless stream of money ... At that moment, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s heart and eyes were filled with only one thing-money. He had already thrown his insignificant feelings for Qian Yu to the back of his mind. They were not worth mentioningpared to the benefits. ¡°What should I choose?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes flickered, and she finally made a decision. Seeing her expression, Leng Yan smiled and asked,¡±¡±How is it? looking at you, you should have considered it, right?¡± ¡°This ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er did not give a direct answer. Leng Yan couldn¡¯t be bothered with her. Instead, she stretched out her hand and beckoned for a waiter, saying,¡±¡±Please give me a tiramisu.¡± ¡°Yes, customer.¡± The waiter turned around and went to prepare the food. He was very respectful. Zhao Hai ¡®er was slightly displeased when she saw this. She felt that Leng Yan did not care about her existence at all. Logically speaking, the two of them were doing this for the same man, so Leng Yan should not be so calm and even use money to solve this matter. Zhao Hai ¡®er suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a frown,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think your suggestion will work.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yan seemed to have already expected this result and did not feel embarrassed at all. She held a silver spoon in her hand and smiled,¡±¡±Do you think 500000 Yuan is not enough? One can¡¯t be too greedy. I¡¯ll make the decision to increase your pay by another 100000 Yuan. If this still doesn¡¯t work, then I should know your answer. ¡± In the end, he gave a half-smile. It wasn¡¯t her money anyway. Even if she gave another 100000 Yuan, even if it was 200000 Yuan, Leng Yan wouldn¡¯t feel any heartache. Chapter 546

Chapter 546: Chapter 547-better prepare

However, it was better to throw the money away than to give it to someone like Zhao Hai ¡®er, which was why Leng Yan gave such a limit. Unfortunately, Zhao Hai ¡®er didn¡¯t know how to be confident. The waiter quickly brought the tiramisu over and ced the exquisite dessert in front of her. From afar, he could smell a sweet fragrance. ¡°Thank you, but just leave it here,¡± Leng Yan said with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± After the substitute waiter left, Leng Yan picked up the spoon and took a bite of tiramisu. It was so sweet that she couldn¡¯t help but narrow her eyes. Zhao Hai ¡®er was restless. She gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Five million. Give me five million and I¡¯ll leave Qian Yu.¡± Thinking about it carefully, 500000 Yuan was still too little. If he really wanted to leave Qian Yu, he would have to get ten times the amount. Otherwise, how could he guarantee that he could live afortable life in the future? Zhao Hai ¡®er was already afraid of being imprisoned after what the Qiao family had done. Zhao Hai ¡®er seemed to have thought of something, and she added,¡±¡±It¡¯s best if you can provide me with a house in the city center of h city. As long as you can fulfill my request, I¡¯ll leave Qian Yu immediately. But if he still wants to find me, then don¡¯t me me. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re really good at joking. ¡± Before Zhao Hai ¡®er could finish her sentence, Leng Yan interrupted her with a mocking tone. To say that Zhao Hai ¡®er was indulging in a wild fantasy was already apliment. Leng Yan sneered,¡±why do you think that I would agree to such harsh conditions?¡± And aren¡¯t you a little too confident? Do you really think that Qian Yu is worth five million Yuan and a house? If you¡¯re dreaming, then you should go home and do it. ¡± In the end, Leng Yan didn¡¯t even bother to look at Zhao Hai ¡®er and continued eating her tiramisu. His attitude made Zhao Hai ¡®er clench her teeth and say,¡±¡±If it really doesn¡¯t work, four million plus a house. This is the lowest I can ept. If you don¡¯t give me these, I won¡¯t leave Qian Yu. ¡± If she couldn¡¯t get these things at once, she wouldn¡¯t be able to live without Qian Yu. After losing a long-term meal ticket and bank card, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s standard of living would be greatly reduced. She had originally thought that five million was not even enough, but it had only just reached this level, and Leng Yan was already a little dissatisfied. Stingy! Zhao Hai ¡®er cursed in her heart. Leng Yan indeed couldn¡¯t see what she was thinking in her heart, but he could tell that something was wrong from her gaze and expression. The tiramisu in front of Leng Yan was almost finished. She directly threw the spoon on the te, making a clear ¡°Chi¡± sound. Zhao Hai ¡®er was shocked. She said unhappily,¡±¡±What are you doing? You¡¯re so surprised. ¡± Leng Yan nced at her and said,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re still so insistent, then there¡¯s nothing to talk about between us. No matter if it¡¯s five million or four million, it¡¯s impossible. Not to mention, you¡¯re so greedy that you want a house. There¡¯s no room for discussion. ¡± Leng Yan immediately stood up, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave. Before she left, she stopped for a moment and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t agree to my request, then you have to be prepared to be my enemy.¡± After saying these cool words, Leng Yan did not stay any longer. She left a two hundred Yuan note and left the cafe. Zhao Hai ¡®er was left alone in her seat. She was both embarrassed and angry. She didn¡¯t touch the coffee in front of her, and she was in no mood to drink coffee at all. She was very flustered. ¡°What kind of person is he? he can¡¯t even afford five million, and he¡¯s here to negotiate with me!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er stomped her feet in anger. She had decided. Since this woman was so arrogant, she would not let go of Qian Yu. As long as he could capture Qian Yu, it would be equivalent to capturing this woman¡¯s lifeline. He was not afraid that Leng Yan would not pay. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s anger dissipated, and she finally felt a little satisfied with her n. Regardless of whether she took money from Qian Yu or Leng Yan, she, Zhao Hai ¡®er, would definitely not lose out. In other words, she was in an undefeatable position. ¡°Lengyan, you can¡¯t win Qian Yu¡¯s heart. Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to fight with me!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er thought to herself. She was about to leave as well, but when she saw the coffee in front of her that was barely touched, she stopped and finished it. As for the remaining 100 yuan, he naturally did not touch it. After all, Zhao Hai ¡®er was a person with hundreds of thousands of Yuan on her, so she didn¡¯t care much about a few dozen Yuan. What she wanted to do was to get more money from Qian Yu or the woman just now before she could be satisfied. After finishing her coffee, Zhao Hai ¡®er left the mall and returned to Qian Yu¡¯s car. Qian Yu had no idea what had happened in the mall, so he looked very calm. When he saw Zhao Hai ¡®er return, he moved closer to her and lifted her chin.¡±¡±Tell me, what did you buy just now?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t buy anything?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er suppressed her guilt and smiled. She felt that she absolutely couldn¡¯t let Qian Yu find out about what had happened just now. Otherwise, things would be difficult to handle. Not only that, but she also wanted to find out what Qian Yu thought of Leng Yan. It would be best if she did her best to discredit her. If she could be Mrs. Qian, that would be a happy ending! Zhao Hai ¡®er couldn¡¯t help feeling excited. In front of Qian Yu, her acting skills were not bad, so Qian Yu was not surprised. He smiled and said,¡±¡±You really didn¡¯t buy anything?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er pretended to look pitiful.¡±¡±No, I didn ¡®t,¡± ¡°My baby is so obedient today. I¡¯ll take you out to y today.¡± Qian Yu raised his eyebrows. He started the car and drove in the designated direction. The car quickly left the mall. What they did not know was that after they left, a figure appeared at the entrance of the mall. It was Leng Yan. She was still holding her phone in her hand, which had a photo that she had just taken. ns ... Could never keep up with changes. Many ¡°interesting¡± things had happened over at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s side, but Joes was stillpletely unaware of it. She was still discussing the date of the engagement with old master Zheng. The three of them put on a show, and the engagement time was soon set, close to Chen Anna¡¯s time. Two dayster would be an auspicious day. As long as Joes did not wish to be engaged with Anna Chen, the two of them would always cover up each other¡¯s glory. It was a once-in-a-lifetime engagement and wedding. She didn¡¯t want her best friend to not be the star of the party. There should only be one main character. ¡°Then the time has been set,¡± old man Zheng said with a smile.¡±You¡¯ll have to prepare well during this time.¡± Chapter 547

Chapter 547: There shouldn¡¯t be any problems, right?

Joes nodded her head and said solemnly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Zheng. I understand. I¡¯ll prepare for the engagement.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± The engagement was finally settled, and elder Zheng, who had been worried about it, could finally rx a little. Zheng Zeyi smiled helplessly.¡±¡±What¡¯s the rush? the engagement party is only starting next month.¡± It would probably start in the middle of next month. There was still at least a month¡¯s time, so there was no need to prepare so early. After hearing this, Joes could not help but re at him. Really ... Nothing would happen even if he went along with old man Zheng¡¯s words. Receiving Qiao si SI¡¯s gaze, Zheng Zeyi shut his mouth. A CEO had be a henpecked husband. Old master Zhengughed when he saw this. After that, Jossi and old master Zheng chatted about all sorts of things. Zheng Zeyi sat at the side and listened. From time to time, he would turn on his phone to deal with the messages sent by assistant li. The scene was very harmonious. When it was time for dinner, although Zheng Zeyu was not around, Ma Shan and Zheng lihan were there. The table was extremely silent. After what had happened just now, Ma Shan did not dare toe forward and ask for a snub. However, towards the end, she was still a little curious. She squeezed out a smile and asked,¡±¡±By the way, dad, what happened upstairs just now?¡± Zheng Zeyu had specifically mentioned this matter, and Ma Shan had been keeping it in mind all this while. It was only now that she had the chance to ask. Meeting her curious gaze, old master Zheng¡¯s hand that was picking up food paused and he didn¡¯t really want to say,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. ¡± Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi had a tacit understanding and pretended not to hear anything. It was not a big deal even if he told her about the engagement now. After all, it was only a month away. It was neither long nor short. However, if she were to say it out loud, joesse would still feel a little uneasy. Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyi were very good at stirring things up. Once they knew about the engagement, they would definitely do something. It was better not to say it if she could, but old master Zheng probably didn¡¯t want to hide it, so joesse didn¡¯t have any objections. Seeing that they were in cahoots, Ma Shan red at them. She only returned to normal after Zheng lihan shot her a look. She smiled awkwardly and started to y the emotional card.¡±¡±Dad, we¡¯re just curious about what happened. After all, we¡¯re family. I know that you don¡¯t like me, but I¡¯ve never done anything to let the Zheng family down since I married into the family. ¡± At this point, Ma Shan pretended to be sad and used her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes. ¡°Dad, if you really don¡¯t want to tell me, then forget it. It¡¯s nothing,¡± she continued. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough!¡± What old master Zheng hated the most was Ma Shan¡¯s crying face. Furthermore, she had previously forced his daughter-inw to die. This was all disgusting. Most importantly, did Ma Shan really think that everyone was an idiot? Everyone knew her motive for marrying into the Zheng family. She hade to the Zheng family for money. Everything about love was a lie. Even when Ma Shan was pregnant with Zheng Zeyu, Zheng lihan had not divorced his original wife. It was aplete affair. This was the reason why old master Zheng hated Zheng lihan¡¯s family so much, and also why he felt so guilty towards Zheng Zeyi. No matter who had such a father, they would probably lose hope in kinship. Zheng Zeyi, who had been independent since young, was no exception. Old master Zheng looked at Ma Shan and the silent Zheng lihan and said,¡±¡±We all know what kind of people they are, so there¡¯s no need to say these things here.¡± Old man Zheng¡¯s voice made Ma Shan shut her mouth immediately and lower her head in embarrassment. At this moment, Zheng lihan, who was standing at the side, said in a slightly dissatisfied tone,¡±Dad, what do you mean?¡± ¡°Meaning?¡± Old master Zheng looked at the angry Zheng lihan and could not help but put down his chopsticks.¡±Nothing. Didn¡¯t you want to know what happened just now?¡± At the mention of this topic, Zheng lihan was not the only one who fell silent. Even Joes could not help but prick up her ears. She also wanted to see what old master Zheng had to say. The reason why Zheng lihan was able to be more confident in front of old master Zheng was because of the 10% shares of thepany. Without the shares, what could he use topete with Zheng ze? Secondly, Zheng lihan and old master Zheng were rted by blood. No matter how much he hated this son of his, the fact that they were rted by blood was undeniable. If it were not for their bloodline, old master Zheng would not have shown any mercy to Zheng lihan. This kind of useless son was disgraceful and would pollute the air if he stayed at home! ¡°Dad, just say what you want to say.¡± Hearing Zheng lihan¡¯s voice, old master Zheng¡¯s expression turned ugly. He snorted and said,¡±¡±I was just talking to sisi and the others about what to do for the birthday banquet. Could it be that I¡¯m so old that I can¡¯t even discuss this matter with the children and make my own decisions?¡± ¡°Pa!¡± The next moment, old master Zheng mmed the table with a loud bang. Ma Shan was so frightened that she quickly averted her gaze and did not look at old master Zheng. Zheng lihan was also frowning. He took a deep breath and exined,¡±¡±Dad, I didn¡¯t mean it that way. It¡¯s just that Shanshan is curious. Plus, this isn¡¯t anything particrly important. That¡¯s why she asked,¡±I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal. Dad, don¡¯t make a fuss.¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m making a fuss?¡± Old master Zheng was so angry that he almostughed at Zheng lihan¡¯s unreasonable behavior. He was already giving them face by making up an excuse for them. Now, they were even making things worse. Did they really think that they had some status in the Zheng family? Fortunately, old man Zheng was almost done with his meal. He stood up after giving Jossi a look that told her not to worry. ¡°You¡¯re right. I can¡¯t eat anymore. You guys can continue!¡± I¡¯m going out for a walk, don¡¯t disturb me if there¡¯s nothing important!¡± After saying that, old man Zheng left the kitchen without hesitation and walked towards the back garden. Seeing this, joesse, who had also finished eating, looked at her empty bowl and put down her chopsticks. ¡°I¡¯m full too. Zeyi, let¡¯s go. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi could be said to bepletely obedient to Qiao sisi¡¯s words and left with her. In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the kitchen. They were Ma Shan and Zheng lihan, who had not finished their food. Ma Shan¡¯s eyes flickered. She picked up a piece of eggnt and ced it in Zheng lihan¡¯s bowl. She asked,¡±¡±Lihan, there shouldn¡¯t be any problem with what I just said, right?¡± Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Please send me to the hospital in the city

Worried that she would say something wrong, Ma Shan quickly pulled her son up and said,¡±¡±And it was Zeyu who told me that there might be a problem with this matter.¡± Zheng lihan was the one who held the shares, not Ma Shan. In front of him, Ma Shan naturally tried to please him. After all, she had to rely on Zheng lihan. After hearing what she said, Zheng lihan did not feel anything. He frowned and said,¡±¡±I know, but the old master only said it was about the birthday banquet.¡± The birthday banquet ... They didn¡¯t know if this was true or not. Ma Shan could only guess,¡±could it be that the old man didn¡¯t want to tell us, so he made up an excuse?¡± Last year, he just celebrated his birthday, and I didn¡¯t see him care much about this matter. ¡± Last year, if Zheng Zeyi had not wanted to help old master Zheng with the wedding and even gave the excuse of meeting an old friend, old master Zheng might not have agreed. But today, he had taken the initiative to mention this matter. There was still something wrong, but the two of them couldn¡¯t put their finger on what exactly was wrong. Soon, Zheng lihan stopped thinking about this matter and said,¡±Alright, since the lordmaster has said so, then let¡¯s not worry about this matter for now. The security guards can try to find out what happened. It shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with thepany. ¡± If thepany was really going to be handed over to Zheng Zeyi and old master Zheng was going to withdraw, they would have to announce it during the board meeting. The most important thing at the moment was to get the scattered shares of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group and put them together with the 10% shares. After that, he would think of a way to tamper with the project that Zheng Zeyi was currently working on. It would only be a matter of time before he took over the Zheng¡¯s group. Since Zheng lihan had already said so, Ma Shan naturally would not refute him. She nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll try to sound out the security guards and see what they have to say.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Then, Zheng lihan got up and prepared to leave. He had only taken two steps when Ma Shan called out to him. If Zheng lihan had not mentioned the Zheng¡¯s group, she would have forgotten what her son had told her. ¡°Oh, lihan, my son wants me to tell you that the n is about to start. Remember to be careful.¡± Ma Shan could not help but lower her voice. Although there was no one in the kitchen now, she couldn¡¯t say such a secret thing in public. After hearing this, Zheng lihan¡¯s tightly furrowed brows finally rxed and he said,¡±¡±Alright, I got it.¡± Zheng lihan was very satisfied with his son¡¯s dedication to thepany. If he wanted to take the Zheng¡¯s group away from Zheng Zeyi, he could not let his guard down. If he could let his son manage it in the future ... Zheng lihan could not help but smile when he thought of that. It was as if he had already taken control of the Zheng¡¯s group. Ma Shan was also determined to win. She wanted to be the madam of the Zheng family! ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time. Outside the vi, Jossi and Zheng ze held hands as they walked along the path. The wind that blew on their faces was a little chilly. Qiao si si did not feel cold. She sneaked a nce at Zheng Zeyi and asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, then I¡¯ll ... Go back first. Do you want to go back with me?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi smiled and nodded. On the first day of the engagement, there was an inexplicable warmth and affection in their hearts. ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Joes raised her eyebrows slightly and her smile became even more radiant. The two of them arrived outside the vi. Just as they were about to get into the car, Joes¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°I just love you ...¡± Upon hearing the new ringtone, Joes picked up her phone and looked at it. She did not expect it to be Anna Chen. It was the middle of the night, and he could easily guess the reason why Anna called him. It must be something important. ¡°I¡¯ll take this call. ¡± Joes had a bad feeling about this. She waved her phone around and did not get into the car immediately. Zheng Zeyi nodded in understanding when he saw this. He was very warm and did not say anything. Joes quickly picked up the phone and asked,¡±¡±Hey, Anna, what happened?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.¡±¡±I¡¯m not Anna. There¡¯s something ... I need to tell you.¡± When she heard this voice, Qiao si si was slightly stunned at first. Then, she realized that it was ye Chen¡¯s voice. After all, the two of them had met a few times. Even though they were separated by a screen, they could still hear each other¡¯s voices. After carefully thinking about ye Chen¡¯s words, Qiao si si could not help but worry,¡±¡±What exactly happened? tell me quickly.¡± He told her directly that it was about Chen Anna. As expected, the next moment, ye Chen¡¯s voice became hoarse.¡±Anna was hit by a car on her way home.¡± What? In an instant, Joes¡¯s eyes widened, and her hand holding the phone started to tremble. She could not imagine that Chen Anna had been hit by a car. Now, ye chen was calling her to inform her of the news. Could it be? Joes did not dare to continue thinking about what happened next. She swallowed her saliva and said with a trembling voice,¡±¡±Then, how is Anna now?¡± Ye chen seemed to have noticed Qiao sisi¡¯s fear and worry. He let out a long sigh of relief. He was usually calm and collected, but at this moment, he was almost blinded by his anxiety. ¡°Fortunately, we found her in time,¡± he said in a deep voice.¡±Anna has been sent to the hospital and is in the emergency room now.¡± ¡°Which hospital?¡± Joes asked hurriedly. She really couldn¡¯t calm down, and her eyes even started to tear up. Her rtionship with Chen Anna was not as simple as being best friends. The two of them had been relying on each other ever since they came to city H. Other than that, the two of them lived together and supported each other. Joes had already treated Anna Chen as her own sister, so how could she calm down when she heard that something had happened to her? Ye chen was also aware of this matter. After giving Qiao sisi the hospital¡¯s address, she quickly hung up the phone. She turned around and met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s worried gaze. ¡°What happened?¡± He asked worriedly. ¡°Yes, something happened to Anna.¡± Joes¡¯s voice trembled slightly as she lowered her head and nodded. Without any hesitation, she entered the car and said,¡±¡±Zeyi, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to send me to the hospital downtown. Ye chen told me that Anna is currently in the emergency room of that hospital. I must go and see her. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi could understand how joesse was feeling. After he got into the driver¡¯s seat, he started the car and drove to the hospital in the city center. Normally, Zheng Zeyi would prioritize stability, but this time, for joesse¡¯s sake, he purposely sped up. Chapter 549

She even ran a red light a few times, but because she was too fast and Joes was too focused on Anna Chen, she did not notice. With Zheng Zeyi¡¯s skillful driving skills, the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital in less than ten minutes. ¡°Sisi, slow down.¡± Seeing that Qiao Si was anxiously opening the door and getting out of the car, Zheng Zeyi quickly gave chase. After the two of them entered the hospital, they saw that it was quiet inside. It was night time, so there were not many people in the hospital. After looking around, Qiao sisi did not see ye Chen¡¯s figure and immediately became more anxious. Seeing her expression, Zheng Zeyi ruffled her hair and said,¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t worry too much. I¡¯ll help you ask around and see where they are now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes tried her best to suppress her flustered emotions and nodded. Just as Zheng Zeyi was about to ask, he turned around and met a familiar person. He pursed his thin lips and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to ask, he¡¯s already here. ¡± The person walking towards him was ye chen, whom he had not seen for a long time. He had an anxious expression on his face and his footsteps involuntarily quickened. When she saw who it was, Joes quickly walked over after she regained her senses. She asked worriedly,¡±¡±Ye chen, how¡¯s Anna¡¯s condition now? What did the doctor say?¡± She threw out two questions in a row, which showed how worried she was. When he heard this, ye chen sighed deeply and said in a muffled voice,¡±¡±She¡¯s not in good condition. The doctor said that although she was sent in time, Anna¡¯s injuries are too serious.¡± At the end of his speech, ye chen lowered his head slightly. A sharp glint shed across his eyes and he could not help but clench his fists. ¡°Have you found the perpetrator?¡± Joesse¡¯s brows furrowed in anger. Chen Anna was her good friend, so it was natural for her to be worried. She was also angry at the person who caused this incident. Ye chen gave a different answer.¡±The first thing the perpetrator did after causing the ident was to escape.¡± ¡°Escape?¡± Joes mumbled this word softly. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes while trembling. If he didn¡¯t run away and admitted his mistake, there might still be a glimmer of hope. However, after causing the ident, she chose to escape. This was something that even Anna Chen would not be able to tolerate, let alone Joes. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi nced at ye chen again after hearing his words and said,¡±¡±I will send someone to investigate this matter.¡± Given the current situation, ye chen would not reject Zheng Zeyi¡¯s help. One more person meant one more power. His girlfriend had suffered so much, and the culprit ... He would never let him off! ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you then. I¡¯ve also sent people to investigate this matter, but they haven¡¯t found anything yet,¡±ye chen said gratefully. ¡°You¡¯re too polite. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said indifferently. After briefly exining the cause of the incident, ye chen did not dy and brought joesse to the emergency room. The red light above the emergency room was on, indicating that someone was undergoing surgery inside and was being pulled between life and death. Even if this had happened a few hours earlier, Joes would not have imagined that the person lying in the coffin was her good friend, Anna Chen. ording to ye chen, he was going to send Chen Anna home today but something happened on the way. Therefore, Chen Anna drove ye chen to thepany and then returned to her apartment. In the end, they encountered a car ident on the road, and the surveince cameras on that road section happened to be broken, so they didn¡¯t manage to capture any useful images. If it weren¡¯t for the passersby and other passing cars who noticed Chen Anna¡¯s condition, she might not have been able to reach the hospital. If he missed the best time for rescue, that would be the real danger! When he said this, ye Chen¡¯s voice began to tremble and his eyes were bloodshot. No matter how calm he was usually, he couldn¡¯t keep calm when faced with such a situation. After all, the woman lying inside was the woman he loved deeply, the woman he hoped to be with for the rest of his life! After hearing that, joesse also sat on a chair outside and remained silent. Zheng Zeyi could tell that she was anxious. He ruffled her hair and said gently,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, Chen Anna will be fine. ¡± Will it be ... Alright? Joesse¡¯s gaze was a little dazed, but she also hoped that what Zheng Zeyi said woulde true. She also hoped that her good friend coulde out of there safely. If anything really happened to Chen Anna, Joes would never forgive herself! ¡°Di di.¡± As time passed by, the atmosphere outside the emergency room became more and more serious. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle dropping on the ground. Finally, after half an hour, the door of the emergency room was opened. The doctor inside walked out and nced outside. He asked,¡±¡±Who is the family of the patient, Chen Anna?¡± Chen Anna! When they heard the name and the door to the emergency room opened, Qiao sisi and ye chen quickly stood up and walked over.¡±¡±We are!¡± The two of them answered in unison. The doctor¡¯s expression was a little ugly as he said,¡±¡±The patient¡¯s condition isn¡¯t very good, but he has been sessfully saved. Because of the massive bleeding, his body may be a little weak. He will be transferred to a general ward in a while. We will be watching over him during this time. He will have to stay in the hospital for at least a month to observe his condition. ¡± As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Moreover, Chen Anna had suffered such a serious injury that she needed to recuperate for a while. In response to the doctor¡¯s instructions, ye chen and Qiao sisi had a rare tacit understanding and both nodded in agreement. Their attitude made the doctor feel a little more at ease. He said,¡±¡±Take the form to the front desk to pay. The patient will be out soon.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Ye chen agreed. He nced at the emergency room, where no one hade out yet. He was a little worried, but he suppressed his emotions for the time being and said,¡±¡±Sisi, can I trouble you to help me look after Anna? I¡¯ll go and pay the fee now, and I¡¯ll be back soon. ¡± Hearing ye Chen¡¯s words, Qiao sisi naturally would not refuse. She nodded and said,¡±¡±You should go. Leave Anna to us for the time being.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you,¡± After saying that, ye chen hurried to pay the bill while Joes and Zheng Zeyi waited outside the emergency room. She craned her neck to look inside from time to time. She walked back and forth, feeling very anxious. Finally, not long after, the nurses inside pushed a mobile bed out, and a person was lying on the bed. Joesse only needed one look to recognize that pale face, and sadness welled up in her heart. Chen Anna had experienced life and death this time, and the level of danger was difficult to describe. Chapter 550

¡°Are you the patient¡¯s family members?¡± The nurse stopped pushing the bed when she saw Jossi. Joes nodded and asked anxiously,¡±¡±Miss nurse, is my friend alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine now. ¡± ¡°The patient is out of the critical period,¡± said the nurse,¡±but his body is still a bit weak and needs to rest well.¡± You can transfer to another Ward now. You two,e with me. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes and grace followed the nurse closely and arrived at a Ward at the end of the corridor. They could even see the word ¡°vip¡± on the door. It was obvious that ye chen had used his power and it was easy for him to get a vip Ward. Now that Chen Anna was seriously injured, she needed a quiet environment to recuperate. ¡°The patient needs a good rest now. You can leave someone here to keep an eye on her. If there¡¯s anything wrong, you can ring the bell at any time.¡± The nurse pointed at the button next to the bed. This button was also a must to prevent them from receiving the news immediately when the patient had an emergency. Joes had stayed in the hospital before, so she nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, we understand. We¡¯ll let you know if anything happens.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave the patient to you.¡± Several nurses didn¡¯t stay in the ward. They changed Chen Anna¡¯s IV drip on the bed. After tidying up the equipment, they left the ward. The ward was left with only Jossi and Zheng Zeyi, and it instantly fell silent. ¡°Sigh ...¡± Looking at the unconscious Anna Chen, Joes sighed and sat on the chair beside her. Zheng Zeyi also stayed by her side silently. Joes tidied up the nket on the bed. Her movements were extremely gentle, afraid that it would affect Chen Anna¡¯s wound. In the meantime, he saw many wounds on Chen Anna¡¯s body and face. She was seriously injured. Fortunately, there were only a few scratches on her face, but she had many bandages on her body and had applied ointment. If Chen Anna woke up on her own and saw the condition of her body, she would probably break down. They were getting engaged next month. It would be very difficult for her to fully recover and even remove her scars in a month¡¯s time. Joes trembled as she closed her eyes and returned to her chair. For a moment, she did not know what to say. Then, she said angrily,¡±¡±Who¡¯s the hit-and-run person? he¡¯s not even willing to take responsibility for such a thing. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was also very worried when he saw Qiao sisi¡¯s breakdown. He gently patted her back and consoled her,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, didn¡¯t the doctor say? Her condition had stabilized. Ye chen and I have already sent people to investigate the perpetrator. It shouldn¡¯t be long before we have a result. ¡± At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes turned cold. Since he dared to do such a thing, he had to be prepared to exchange his life for hers! After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, even though Qiao SI¡¯s heart was still in a mess, she calmed down a little.¡±I understand.¡± The two of them watched for a while. After a few minutes, ye chen returned after paying the fee. When he saw Chen Anna lying unconscious on the bed, he stopped for a moment and then quickly walked over. Ye chen had never seen Chen Anna lying in a pool of blood before but he had clearly seen her in the hospital, covered in blood. No one could stand it when the woman they doted on was treated like that by someone else. Ye chen stood beside Chen Anna and looked at her, wishing he was the one who had suffered such a heavy injury. Seeing his grief and indignation, joesse was helpless and said,¡±¡±Ye chen, this matter ... It¡¯s not your fault,¡± If it wasn¡¯t for the perpetrator, how could Chen Anna be like this? Ye chen understood the logic but he could not ept the fact that his woman was lying helplessly on the hospital bed while he could only watch from the side. However, he appreciated Joes ¡®good intentions. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Ye Chen¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. Joes did not mind and shook her head slightly. This was what she should do. Just as the ward was very quiet, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone suddenly rang, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. When he saw assistant Li¡¯s name, he furrowed his brows and said,¡±¡±Maybe there¡¯s news about the perpetrator.¡± As soon as he said that, ye chen was not the only one who was concerned. Even Qiao si stared at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone. Zheng Zeyi also knew that this was not the right time. He quickly picked up the phone and heard assistant Li¡¯s voice,¡±¡±President, I¡¯ve found out about the matter you asked me to investigate.¡± ¡°How is it?¡± Zheng ze frowned. Considering that ye chen and Jossi were very concerned about this matter, he turned on the speaker. Although it was just a casual action, his subconscious action still made people feel very warm. Soon, assistant Li¡¯s voice rang out in the ward. As he flipped through the information he had just found, he said,¡±¡±President, I¡¯ve investigated ording to your instructions and found out that the surveince cameras were destroyed that day. No one saw what happened at that time. When miss Chen got into the car ident, there was no one around. ¡± The timing was very clever, so why did he choose that path and time? Even if it wasn¡¯t premeditated, no one would believe it. ¡°What else?¡± After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, assistant li thought for a moment and continued,¡±¡±I¡¯ve also found out the identity of the perpetrator. He¡¯s a drunkard, and ording to others, he drank a lot on the day of the incident. After he ran into miss Chen, he escaped into the mountains. ¡± ¡°He escaped?¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes slightly. Even if they fled into the mountains, it was not impossible for them to search for them. No matter what, he had to pay the price for bullying joesse¡¯s good friend! Without waiting for him to speak, ye chen clenched his fist and said,¡±¡±Mr. Zheng, please give me an address. I¡¯ll send people to search for it.¡± He could not let Zheng Zeyi handle everything regarding Chen Anna. It did not make sense. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi could understand his feelings. He nodded and said,¡±¡±Okay, assistant li, send me the address of the highway and the mountain area.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Assistant li immediately agreed. After that, Zheng ze added,¡±¡±Also, we¡¯ll have to continue sending people to search and print out the appearance of the culprit. Do you understand?¡± Passers-by were also a powerful force, so they naturally had to be used. Chapter 551

The perpetrator seemed to have nned this long ago. They didn¡¯t know who was backing him up, but he might have already escaped. Put his appearance out for a reward, and anyone with information could get a mary reward, and then filter out the useful information. This was not a bad idea. No matter how many men Zheng Zeyi and ye chen had, they could not cover the entire world. Passers-by could, and so could the inte. This way, things would be much easier. Assistant li nodded and said sternly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, President. I¡¯ll send someone to search for it immediately.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone, a toot sound came from the other end of the phone, and he put it into his pocket. He raised his head and met Joes¡¯s grateful gaze. He could not help but smile helplessly. This little woman of his was quite emotional, but this was also what he liked about Jossi. ¡°We¡¯ve already sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the perpetrator,¡± Zheng Zeyi said after some thought.¡±But I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that simple.¡± It sounded like a guess, but after thinking about it carefully, it was the truth. If it was really that simple, it was too much of a coincidence, so much so that no one could ept it. After saying that, Joes suddenly furrowed her brows and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a coincidence either. I wonder who¡¯s behind this.¡± Chen Anna was so seriously injured that it was impossible to let this matter go so easily. Not to mention Qiao sisi, even ye chen had the same idea. ¡°No matter who it is, I will find this person!¡± Ye chen could not help but clench his fists. Looking at his expression, Joes also nodded her head slightly, knowing that his feelings for Chen Anna were true. ¡°At night, let me keep watch.¡± When ye chen suddenly said this, Qiao si si nced at him and said,¡±¡±Let me do it. You¡¯ve been busy all day, and I just received the news that Anna is in the hospital. I¡¯ll stay here for a day, and you cane back tomorrow. ¡± However, ye chen firmly rejected Qiao sisi¡¯s offer. Although his eyes were bloodshot, he still insisted on his stand. Qiao si si wanted to continue persuading him, but Zheng Zeyi stopped her and said,¡±¡±Sisi, in that case, go back and rest for a night. Let¡¯se back tomorrow and take CEO ye¡¯s ce so that he can go back and have a good rest. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words were not without reason. Chen Anna was ye Chen¡¯s girlfriend, after all. It was normal for him to be worried. If he was not allowed to guard her, he would feel pressured and worried. For example, it would be better if she handed it over to ye chen tonight and joesse would take over the next day. After considering this problem, Joes was a little hesitant at first. However, she quickly agreed and said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll go back with you. I¡¯lle back tomorrow.¡± After saying that, Jossi stood up. Before she left, she worriedly reminded ye chen,¡±¡±Ye chen, I¡¯ll leave Anna in your care for now. I¡¯lle and see her tomorrow.¡± Ye chen knew what Qiao sisi meant. He had wanted to reject her but was worried that he would not be able to take good care of her due to his fatigue. ¡°I understand. Thank you, miss Qiao,¡± he said. ¡°This is nothing.¡± After they greeted each other, Joes and Zheng ze left the ward together. The tense atmosphere finally eased up. In the ward, because of Anna Chen, Joes always felt like she was suffocating. He was slightly better now, but he was still very worried. Zheng ze reached out and ruffled joesse¡¯s hair.¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s not think about this for now. I¡¯m here, and I¡¯ll definitely help you solve it.¡± Feeling the warmth on her head, Joes nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±Alright, I understand. Zeyi ... Thank you.¡± Zheng Zeyi felt helpless when he suddenly heard Qiao sisi¡¯s thanks. ¡°You¡¯re my fianc¨¦e now,¡± he said, pretending to be angry.¡±I won¡¯t be happy if you keep being so polite to me.¡± Joes finally broke into a smile.¡±Alright. We¡¯ll do as you say. I won¡¯t stand on ceremony with you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so polite with me.¡± Zheng Zeyi had a gentle smile on his face. As his woman, he would help her solve any problem. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you home. ¡± Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, joesse did not reject him and quickly left the hospital with Zheng Zeyi. They got in the car and arrived at the apartment in about ten minutes. This time, Zheng Zeyi did not torment Qiao sisi anymore. He knew that his dainty wife was also physically and mentally exhausted after what had happened. Thus, he considerately filled up the hot water for Joes and left her apartment after informing her. He even said that he would take her to the hospital the next day. ¡°Gulp gulp gulp ...¡± Joesse felt a little thirsty, so she picked up a bottle of water and gulped it down. The sound of her gulping was particrly clear in the quiet apartment. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi had already left the apartment. She had also taken a hot shower and was ready to rest for the morning. The next day, he had to go to the hospital to visit Chen Anna. He had many things to do. He must rest well today and prepare for tomorrow so that ye chen, who had been busy all night, could go back and rest. Joes ced the cup of water on the table and could not help but nce at the tightly shut apartment door. A smile appeared on her face. To be honest, she was really grateful for what Zheng Zeyi had done. If it was not for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rationality, Qiao sisi might have been overwhelmed by grief and anger today and might have done something. With Zheng ze around, he immediately took care of everything and even sent people to search for the hit-and-run. From the looks of it, it should not be long before there would be results. Thinking of a certain man¡¯s handsome face, the smile on Joes¡¯s face became even more radiant, and she felt a wave of warmth in her heart. She was lucky to be with Zheng Zeyi. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi still did not know what his fianc¨¦e was feeling on the other side of the apartment. Otherwise, she would probably be so happy that she could not sleep. Even the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group could act like a young boy. After drinking some water, Joes went to rest, and the entire apartment was plunged into darkness. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi had instructed assistant li to investigate this matter properly. He had also sent out his other men without holding back. If the issue of the hit-and-run was not resolved, it would forever be a thorn in Joes and ye Chen¡¯s hearts. Since it was someone he wanted to pamper, Zheng Zeyi would have to put in more effort and effort on this. The earlier they got the results, the earlier they could be at ease. Chapter 552

Zheng Zeyi was busy until midnight before he went to rest. The group of men he had sent out acted quickly. After meeting up with ye Chen¡¯s men, they entered the mountains to search. With the two groups of people acting separately, their movements could be sped up. He spent the entire night in such an environment. Soon, it was the next day. The sun rose as usual, but the weather was much warmer. Even without a coat, one would not feel cold. The weather was different from the cold weather a few days ago. It was cloudy and sunny, so people needed to bring a coat when they walked outside. There were a lot of things to do today. Naturally, Jossi woke up very early and was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Zheng Zeyi had also woken up very early. He came to Qiao SI¡¯s apartment for breakfast with dark circles under his eyes. ¡°Eat more,¡± Joesse had already eaten. She was worried that Zheng ze would be too tired to eat more, so she reminded him concernedly. Faced with her concern, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry. My fianc¨¦e made it. If I don¡¯t eat more, I¡¯ll be at a loss.¡± He was talkative! Jossi cursed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud. After breakfast, joesse ced the other two portions of food she had prepared into a thermal container and ced them in a stic bag. Since he was going to the hospital today, he had to be more prepared. They were all light congee and side dishes, suitable for ye chen who had not rested the entire night and Chen Anna who was weak. After Zheng Zeyi finished eating, he stood up and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital. Your condition should have improved a lot today.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Joesse nodded, took the bag, and left the blue sky Apartment with Zheng Zeyi. They got into the car heading to the hospital in the city. The traffic on the road was endless, and it was the peak hour. It was probably impossible for them to arrive earlier. They would need at least a few dozen minutes. ¡­¡­¡­ Meanwhile, in the dpidated apartment of the Qiao family. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll go out first.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said to the living room. She had already changed into a beautiful tight-fitting outfit and was carrying a branded bag that Qian Yu had given her. Liu Yun, who was in the living room, did not even look at her. Instead, she said perfunctorily,¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s go if you want to.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er did not say anything when she saw Liu Yun¡¯s perfunctory attitude. She was already used to this attitude. Qiao Lei and Qiao Feng were not at home these days. One of them was out ying something. The other had not returned home in the name of work. Liu Yun didn¡¯t feel anything was wrong. Zhao Hai ¡®er was the one who felt that something was wrong with her father. However, she didn¡¯t need to care about this kind of thing. Ever since Qiao Feng and the others had worked together to take away Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s money, she had been happy to see this family be a joke. Even if they were to be shattered in the end, she would not feel anything. Instead, she would feel happy. Zhao Hai ¡®er nced at Liu Yun, who was watching TV in the living room, and then left the house with her bag. ¡°Bang!¡± The sound of the door closing was particrly loud in the corridor. It was not the first time Zhao Hai ¡®er had heard this sound. She was already sick of this broken apartment. She was still looking for a new apartment. When she found the opportunity, she would leave the Qiao family¡¯s residence so that these people would not be able to find her! After receiving the 300000 Yuan, Zhao Hai ¡®er had been thinking about this matter. She had even made an appointment with a few people to discuss it. It was just that it had not been decided yet, either the location was not good, or the price was too high. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not like any of them. If not for this, she would not have brought up the matter of asking for property when she was negotiating with Leng Yan previously. With real estate in his hands, he could always feel at ease. Thinking of this, Zhao Hai ¡®er smiled. She picked up her phone and was about to send a message to Qian Yu when she saw something from the corner of her eye. This was ... Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression changed instantly. ¡°What is this thing?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s voice was extremely sharp, and it echoed in the corridor. It was quite shocking. The walls of the corridor were covered with small advertisements. The words on them were veryrge, and some of them were even pasted on the door. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not notice it earlier, but now that she did, she could not take her eyes off it! These small advertisements were all white paper with a few big words written on it: Zhao Hai ¡®er was a B * tch who seduced someone else¡¯s husband and became a shameless mistress! All the other small advertisements on the walls of the corridor had been cleared away, and only these were left. Zhao Hai ¡®er looked over and saw dozens of small advertisements. She couldn¡¯t help but walk to the stairs and look down. After seeing this, shepletely broke down. Just as Zhao Hai ¡®er had expected, the entire building was filled with the same advertisement. There were at least a few hundred, or even a few thousand. ¡°Who did this!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words. She really wanted to p the person behind this. It was a fact that she was a mistress, and these small advertisements were not her wishes. However, Zhao Hai ¡®er did not wish for this matter to be made public. After all, it was too embarrassing. She could not bring herself to do so in front of others. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s n was to rece Leng Yan¡¯s position and be the wife of the Qian family. She would only bring this up after she became Qian Yu¡¯s official wife. Now, it seemed that this idea was nothing but whimsical. With so many small advertisements, the people who came and went in this apartment probably all saw it. He didn¡¯t know what they would think after seeing it. The other residents of this building didn¡¯t like the Qiao family for no other reason than the fact that they were too noisy. Furthermore, Liu Yun waspletely unreasonable, and her shrew-like appearance made people not dare to approach her, which made her even more disgusting. After seeing these advertisements, these people would definitelyugh at Zhao Hai ¡®er and use her as a topic of conversation after cooking. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s chest felt tight when she thought of this. She quickly covered her chest and gasped for air. In the next moment,¡±si si¡± sounds started to ring out. It turned out that Zhao Hai ¡®er could not bear to watch the advertisements anymore, so she tore them up. In a short time, she had torn a few pages. Zhao Hai ¡®er was furious, and she did not want the advertisements to be a disgrace. She wasn¡¯t afraid of the other people in the apartment, but she was afraid that these people would spread rumors and spread that she was a mistress. By then, it would be difficult for her to make aeback. Chapter 553

Chapter 553: You should go rest

He had to take advantage of the fact that this matter didn¡¯t have a big impact and tear off all these small advertisements! ¡°Rip, rip, rip!¡± The sound kepting. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes looked fierce. The ground was covered with pieces of paper. She definitely had to clean up these things. If others saw them, Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s reputation would be ruined! She was Zhao Hai ¡®er. In the future, she was going to marry into a rich family and be a wife, not a nameless mistress that everyone talked about! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s mind was filled with the thought of tearing off the advertisements. She did not think about who was behind this. However, even if he used his toes to think, he knew that this matter definitely had something to do with Leng Yan. It was very likely that she was the one who did it. The two of them had just met yesterday and had a negotiation before parting on bad terms. Based on this situation, Leng Yan was the most likely one to take action, and she had also used the fastest and most effective method. If she didn¡¯t show up personally, it would be too degrading. For the entire morning, Zhao Hai ¡®er was cleaning up the small advertisements for houses in the corridor, afraid that someone would see them. He even put his original n of going somewhere else with Qian Yu to the back of his mind and pushed it back for a while. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Qian Yu was still a little interested in her, such an insensible woman would have long been forgotten. ¡­¡­¡­ Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s situation had been sent to joesse¡¯s phone by detective Wen. It had been converted into a file and he had told joesse to take a look if she had the time. However, joesse was busy at the hospital and did not check her phone. Half an hourter, the road, which had been congested with cars, was finally cleared, and driving was much smoother. Without the traffic jam, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi arrived at the hospital entrance very quickly. Just as he was about to enter, Zheng Zeyi picked up his phone and nced at it. His expression turned grave as he said,¡±¡±Sisi, you go in first. I have to go to thepany.¡± Upon hearing that, joesse also stopped in her tracks. She turned around and asked in confusion,¡±¡±Did something happen at thepany? You can go and deal with it first, I¡¯ll be fine with Anna. ¡± Zheng Zeyi, however, pursed his lips and said,¡±¡±There arepany matters and news of the escaped perpetrator. I¡¯ll have to deal with it now. I¡¯lle to the hospital to see you after I¡¯m done. Remember to take care of yourself and rest well. Don¡¯t tire yourself out taking care of others. ¡± When she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s concern, Qiao siughed and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not that stupid. Hurry up and go. Thepany¡¯s people are getting anxious.¡± ¡°Alright, wait for me.¡± After leaving that sentence, Zheng Zeyi did not dy any further. He returned to his car, started it, and drove away. Qiao si stood at the entrance of the hospital and watched as Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car gradually disappeared from her sight. She quickly retracted her gaze and entered the hospital. Chen Anna¡¯s ward was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and the location had been found as early as yesterday. Joes walked around the crowd in the hospital and arrived at the vip Ward. She did not open the door rashly, but instead knocked on the door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± Not long after the knocking, a hoarse voice came from inside,¡±¡±Come in,¡± Upon hearing this, Qiao si opened the door with the bag containing the thermal lunch box. She thought that it was only Chen Anna and ye chen inside. However, when she opened the door, she realized that this was not the case. Several doctors and nurses were standing around the bed, observing Chen Anna who was still in aa. The instrument next to him kept making ¡°beep¡± sounds, which made people feel heavy. When the doctor and the rest saw that it was Joes who had entered, they did not say anything and turned their gazes back to Chen Anna. Ye chen was the only one who nodded slightly at her. ¡°You¡¯re here. ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Qiao si si replied softly. She tried her best to keep her footsteps as quiet as possible. She came to ye Chen¡¯s side and ced the bag on the table. She did not ask ye chen anything at once. Instead, like him, she focused on what the doctor was doing so that she would not miss anything. After the doctor examined Chen Anna¡¯s body, he picked up the document and wrote something on it. After that, the doctor looked at ye chen and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re the patient¡¯s boyfriend, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ye chen nodded. The doctor understood and said ording to the results of the examination just now,¡±¡±The patient¡¯s condition has recovered quite well after one night, but the wound still needs to be handled with care. Let the patient rest well in the hospital during this period. The hospital will arrange for doctors and nurses to check on her every day to prevent her condition from worsening. ¡± Ye chen took every word the doctor said to heart. ¡°By the way, your diet should also be light. The patient has been in aa for a whole day. If her stomach is not used to it, it will cause her condition to worsen.¡± The doctor was very patient. These were all things that he had to pay attention to. If he did something wrong, Chen Anna would have to suffer more torture, so he naturally had to talk to her properly. Ye Chen¡¯s attitude made the doctor nod in satisfaction.¡±¡±Alright, you can call us at any time if there¡¯s any situation. I¡¯ll leave the patient in your care.¡± ¡°Alright, sorry to trouble you, doctor.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s attitude was so humble that he did not seem like the president of apany. He was very grateful to these people who had saved Chen Anna¡¯s life. After the doctor and nurse had left the ward, Qiao sisi looked at ye chen and noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes. It would be strange if the dark circles under her eyes weren¡¯t heavy after a night of not having a good rest. She naturally remembered what the doctor had just said and said,¡±¡±Ye chen, you ... Why don¡¯t you go and rest for a while? leave Anna to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡±she said. Ye chen shook his head and was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Qiao sisi. She frowned and said,¡±ye chen, if Anna wakes up and sees your current condition, she¡¯ll probably be very worried.¡± You don¡¯t want a patient who has just woken up to worry about your Health First, do you?¡± These words made a lot of sense. Even ye chen did not know how to refute them and fell silent. Joes, on the other hand, continued,¡±Alright, you should go and rest. I won¡¯t let anything happen to Anna. How about this ... I promise you, if Anna wakes up, I¡¯ll let you know immediately. Is that okay?¡± Since she had already said this, ye chen could not refuse. Moreover, he was indeed a little tired. Chapter 554

Chapter 554: Chapter 555-they can do it

Trantor: 549690339

If Chen Anna really woke up, ye chen would not be able to take good care of her in his current mental state. On the contrary, it made her worry. The loss outweighed the gain. It would be better to take a good rest ande back after recuperating to avoid any unexpected situations. Ye chen had no choice but to agree. He said,¡±Alright, I¡¯ll leave this ce to you then. I¡¯m going to rest for a while.¡± ¡°Go, don¡¯t be in a hurry toe back,¡± Qiao si si was also worried that ye chen would return after a few minutes of rest. That would be no different from not resting at all. Ye chen knew what she was thinking. He rubbed the space between his brows and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll rest well. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to take good care of Anna.¡± Just based on his feelings for Anna Chen, Joes felt a wave of admiration. After that, ye chen left the hospital and went home to rest. During this period, Qiao sisi did not idle around either. She also tidied up the ward. She hadn¡¯t been to thepany for the past two days, so she had to tell Miley about it. Thepany¡¯s Affairs would be handed over to her for the time being. After all, Chen Anna had yet to wake up. Joes was really worried and did not have the mood to deal with her work. Millie agreed readily, and Joes heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to put her phone away, joesse suddenly remembered something. She had not told Lin ya and Wang Li about this. They were also Chen Anna¡¯s friends, and it wasn¡¯t good to not say anything about such a big thing. As for Anna Chen¡¯s family, Joes did not think of informing them because of Anna Chen herself. She didn¡¯t want to bring bad news to her family. He had also specially instructed Jossi not to tell her family members if anything happened to her, lest they get too worried. At that time, Joes had thought that Anna Chen was joking and did not take it to heart. She couldn¡¯t empathize with this feeling because her only family member had disappeared from the world. The remaining members of the Qiao family were just using the name of blood rtions to do things that were not human. However, now that she had met Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi understood what it was like. She did not want the person she loved to be so tired that she could not even eat. Anna Chen was the same. She did not want her family to worry about her. It was not good for Joes to make her own decisions. After she woke up, it would be better to see what she would decide on her own. At that thought, Joes opened her contacts and found Lin ya¡¯s number. ¡°Toot ...¡± The call went through quickly, and Lin ya¡¯s angry voice came from the other end of the phone,¡±¡±Sisi, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Also, you didn¡¯te to thepany today. Did something happen?¡± Before Joes could say a word, Lin ya had already fired off a few questions. She did not even know which one to answer first. Jossi held her forehead and said helplessly,¡±¡±I¡¯ll tell you about thister. Is Lili with you?¡± ¡°Lili?¡± Lin ya was stunned for a moment, but she quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±She¡¯s right next to me. We¡¯re dealing with the design n in thepany today. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Joes deliberated for a moment, and after organizing her words, she said,¡±¡±There¡¯s something that I think I need to inform you about.¡± She didn¡¯t say what it was for a long time, so Lin ya asked,¡±¡±Sisi, hurry up and tell me.¡± Wang Li seemed to have been called over by Lin ya as light footsteps could be heard. Joes sighed and said without hesitation,¡±¡±Anna was in a car ident and is in the hospital now. She was sent inst night and her condition has stabilized. I just feel that I need to tell you about this. Don¡¯t worry, Anna should be waking up soon ...¡± Thest few words were meant tofort Lin ya and Wang Li. After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Lin ya broke down and said in shock,¡±¡±What? Anna was in a car ident?¡± She was not the only one. Wang Li, who was beside her, was also shocked. A wave of anxiety surged into her heart. ¡°Yes, but don¡¯t you guys ...¡± ¡°Sisi, why didn¡¯t you tell us about what happenedst night? which hospital is he in? we¡¯lle over right now!¡± Lin ya said anxiously. Joes blinked her eyes. She knew that things would still develop to this point. ¡°The hospital in the city center.¡± Naturally, there was no way that Joes would reject the two of theming to visit Anna Chen. Just as Lin ya was about to speak, Wang Li snatched the phone away. She said anxiously,¡±¡±Sisi, wait for us over there. We¡¯ll be done with the things on hand soon. After you¡¯re done, I¡¯ll rush over immediately!¡± It was not that Wang Li did not care about Anna Chen, but working in Joes pany meant that she had to be loyal to her duty. Even if it was his friend¡¯spany, he couldn¡¯t just leave as he pleased and put down his work. If it were any other ce, he would not have so many scruples and could just directly apply for leave. Joes was slightly taken aback. After she understood Wang Li¡¯s thoughts, she could not help but smile,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. There¡¯s no hurry. You cane over directly.¡± ¡°Twenty minutes will do!¡± Wang Li immediately made her promise and hung up the phone after greeting Jossi. Lin ya was burning with anxiety and said,¡±¡±Lili, let¡¯s hurry up and settle the design drawings.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. Now that both of them were the chief designers of Xingyuan design, they had to bring new designers from thepany under them. The two of them were thepany¡¯s mainstays. It took them 15 minutes to finish all the work, and this was the result of them speeding up. At the original speed, it would take at least half an hour to solve it. The two of them greeted Miley, who was handling the affairs on their behalf today. After reporting, they left Xing Yuan design and headed to the hospital in the city center. At that moment, Joes was looking after the unconscious Anna Chen and was using her phone to check thetest news. Then, she squinted her eyes slightly. Could she ask detective Wen to investigate this matter? However, the problem was that many people had already intervened in this matter. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s men and ye Chen¡¯s men. Many forces were mixed in. Besides, if he were to leave it to detective Wen, it would be very dangerous considering the car ident yesterday. After thinking about it, Qiao sisi decided to give up on this idea for the time being. She would just leave it to Zheng Zeyi and the rest. He believed that they would soon find out the truth and the culprit. Chapter 555

Just as Jossi was lost in her thoughts, there was a sudden sound from the bed. ¡°Oh ...¡± It was very soft, but it was enough for jorsi to hear. Her eyes immediately widened as she looked at Chen Anna on the bed. She quickly got up and stared at her. Chen Anna¡¯s eyes were still closed, but the first to move was the hand by her side, which moved slightly. The next moment, she coughed.¡±¡±Cough cough, cough cough!¡± A violent cough was heard. Chen Anna finally opened her eyes after coughing. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the worried expression on Joes ¡®face. Her eyes were still in a daze, and she didn¡¯t know where she was. She muttered softly,¡±¡±Where ... Am I?¡± Even Joes could not hear him clearly due to his weak voice. Looking at her best friend¡¯s pale face, Joes felt her heart ache. She asked,¡±¡±Anna, you were in a car ident and are in the hospital now. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re awake. I¡¯ll get the doctor to check on you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Anna was awake now, but her mental state was a little dazed. She couldn¡¯t help but recall what had happened before. It seemed that he had indeed encountered a car ident before. Chen Anna felt that her whole body was wrapped in bandages and was a little ufortable, but she did not dare to move. Joes did not dare to dy and immediately pressed the bell beside the bedside table, waiting for the doctor to arrive. After a while, the doctor and a few nurses rushed to the ward and asked,¡±¡±The patient is awake?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Jossi nodded.¡±She just woke up. Doctor, can you take a look at her current condition?¡± The doctor understood Joes¡¯s concern. After saying ¡°okay¡±, he ordered the nurses to operate the equipment beside Chen Anna. He also used some advanced medical equipment to test Chen Anna¡¯s physical condition. During this period, Chen Anna did not dare to move at all. She passively epted the examination and felt that there was no part of her body that did not hurt. She had never experienced the pain of these words, but she couldn¡¯t me anyone for her own car ident, so she could only bear it. Fortunately, the final situation was still gratifying and not too bad. The doctor let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile,¡±¡±Well, we¡¯ve checked the patient¡¯s condition, and he¡¯s much better. The wound is gradually healing after the medicine is applied. Stay in the hospital and rest well for the time being. Remember to let me know if anything happens. ¡± After hearing the doctor¡¯s words, joesse heaved a sigh of relief. The huge rock in her heart was finally lifted. She had been worried about Chen Anna when she was here, and now she had finally woken up. The doctor also said that his condition was not serious, which was naturally irreceable good news. ¡°We¡¯ll take our leave first, then. The patient must pay attention to her diet, which is light.¡± ¡°Okay, I understand. Take care, doctor!¡± Joes said politely. After the doctor gave his instructions, he left with a few nurses, leaving only the instrument making a nervous sound. After she left, Joes walked to Chen Anna¡¯s side. Looking at the few scratches on her face, she said with heartache,¡±¡±Alright, alright, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. You stay here and have a good rest. I¡¯ve prepared breakfast. You woke up in time. It¡¯s just in porridge and side dishes. I¡¯ll help you sit up and eat something to fill your stomach. ¡± Guessing that Chen Anna would wake up today, Joes specially prepared a light breakfast. She did not expect her to really wake up, which was a good thing. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Chen Anna nodded. After being unconscious for such a long time and not having any food, he was really feeling a little hungry after being reminded by Joes. If he didn¡¯t eat, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on. Joes carefully helped Chen Anna up and ced a pillow on her back. After making sure that this position would not make Chen Anna ufortable, she felt a little more at ease. ¡°I¡¯ve prepared vegetable porridge for you today. There¡¯s no meat, and a bowl of light winter melon soup. You just woke up, so you can¡¯t eat greasy food.¡± As she spoke, Joes opened the thermal container she brought and took out the food that was still warm. The aroma of food filled the entire Ward. Chen Anna sniffed and felt even hungrier. She couldn¡¯t help but swallow. ¡°Sisi,¡± she said,¡±I¡¯m so hungry. Bring it over and I¡¯ll eat it myself.¡± ¡°No,¡± Jossi immediately rejected. Chen Anna had been injured in a car ident, and her left arm was also quite badly injured. Rather than letting her eat with difficulty, it would be better for Joes to do it. In his friend¡¯s current situation, who would still be in the mood to tease him? Seeing that Joes had rejected her, Chen Anna did not say anything and waited for her bad friend to bring the food to her mouth. After a mouthful of hot porridge, Chen Anna felt that she was finally alive again. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious,¡± she sighed with pleasure.¡±Sisi, your cooking skills have improved. It¡¯s even more delicious than before.¡± Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just that you haven¡¯t eaten for too long, so you only find it delicious after eating it for a while. I didn¡¯t even put much seasoning. ¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± After listening to Joes¡¯s words, Chen Anna could not help but doubt her taste buds. Joesse was not lying. As she had to ensure that her food was light, she had only added a little salt and not much seasoning. Even if they did, there would only be a small number. That was why Chen Anna thought it was delicious, which was why Joes said it was because she had been unconscious for too long. After eating the porridge, Chen Anna felt her stomach warm up and she felt much better. Seeing that Joes still wanted to get the winter melon soup, she quickly shook her head and said,¡±¡±Sisi, just leave the winter melon soup for now. I don¡¯t really feel like drinking it now.¡± Hearing that, joesse naturally did not force him. She put down the bowl of soup in her hands and said,¡±¡±Okay, then I¡¯ll put it back in the thermal box.¡± After putting the things back into the thermal container, Joes heard Chen Anna¡¯s confused voice,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, who brought me to the hospital when I was in a car ident?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes¡¯s hand paused, and she replied without hesitation,¡±¡±Ye chen,¡± Then, she told him everything that had happened in the past two days. She did not hide anything about the perpetrator. Chen Anna was the protagonist of the incident, so she might have some impression of her. It was useless to hide this kind of thing. It was better to make it clear so that he would be more vignt next time. The car ident had clearly shown that someone was targeting Chen Anna behind the scenes. As for the reason ... He had not found it yet. After these words, Chen Anna was already dumbfounded, but what she cared about the most was not the hit-and-run person. Chapter 556

Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.¡±It¡¯s done. It¡¯s good that Chen is back. If he continues to stay here, it will only make me worry.¡± Chen Anna patted her chest, feeling warm in her heart. At least she could feel ye Chen¡¯s concern and that was enough. It was good enough that she could go back and rest. Looking at Chen Anna¡¯s lecherous look, Joes pretended to be jealous and said,¡±¡±Chen Anna, you¡¯ve been concerned about your boyfriend since you woke up?¡± On the surface, she was jealous, but she wasn ¡®t. She was just worried that the atmosphere would be too heavy, so she made a joke to ease it. Ye Chen¡¯s feelings for Chen Anna were genuine. As a good friend, Qiao sisi was naturally happy to see such a thing. At least, they didn¡¯t misjudge him. Chen Anna blinked her eyes when she saw Joes ¡®expression. She quickly suppressed the matter in her heart and looked at Joes yfully.¡±No, no, no, my best friend has been worried for a long time. It¡¯s been hard on you!¡± Joes¡¯s expression softened and she nodded,¡±¡±This is more like it.¡± ¡°By the way, sisi, don¡¯t tell ye chen that I¡¯m awake. Let him rest. We¡¯ll talk about it after he¡¯s rested.¡± Chen Anna also thought of this. Joes had nned to do the same initially, so when she heard her say that, she immediately agreed,¡±¡±Alright, I won¡¯t tell him.¡± Based on ye Chen¡¯s personality and how nervous he was about Chen Anna, he would probably rush to the hospital without resting once he heard that she was awake. That was not what Chen Anna wanted to see. After that, the two of them started to talk about the hit-and-run, which was the most important topic. How could he let go of a bad person so easily? However, the two of them had only spoken a few words when someone suddenly knocked on the tightly shut door. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± Joes was confused, but after thinking about it, she knew that Lin ya and the others were here. It had been almost half an hour since the incident. Thepany¡¯s matters should have been settled. ¡°Come in.¡± A crisp female voice rang out. Soon, the door of the ward was opened. Qiao SI¡¯s guess was right. The ones who entered were Lin ya and Wang Li, both of them holding fruit baskets in their hands. He looked like he was visiting a patient. As soon as they entered the room, Lin ya and Huo Mian looked at Chen Anna in surprise and asked,¡±¡±Anna, you¡¯re awake?¡± Seeing this, Chen Anna smiled and nodded,¡±¡±That¡¯s right, I just woke up, half an hour ago. ¡± Lin ya and Wang Li looked at each other, then quickly walked to the side of the bed and ced the fruit basket on the table. ¡°The two of you are pretty fast.¡± Joesse¡¯s sudden voice attracted the attention of the two of them. She was peeling an Apple. The Apple¡¯s skin was still intact, and it was a long strip. Lin ya scratched her head and said,¡±there¡¯s not much to do in thepany recently. We¡¯ve been busy with the design n this morning.¡± So, sisi, after you called, you quickly solved the problem. Fortunately, we¡¯re not toote. ¡± Wang Li nodded her head in agreement. ¡°I see ...¡± Anna Chen nodded in understanding. As for Joes, she had already known about this. After chatting for a while, Lin ya and Wang Li quickly looked at Chen Anna, a little worried. ¡°Anna, how do you feel now?¡± Chen Anna shook her head,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine now. The doctor just told me that I need to rest.¡± If it was really ufortable, she would probably be lying in bed by now. However, the bandages and casts on her body were still very shocking. It was hard to imagine what the situation was like at the time of the ident. Lin ya furrowed her brows and said indignantly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t these people have eyes when they look at cars? They could even crash into such a wide road! Sisi, Anna, have you found the culprit? I can¡¯t take this lying down, I have to teach him a lesson. ¡± Lin ya had always been like this, so no one was surprised. After Joes had finished peeling the Apple and passed it to Chen Anna, she said,¡±¡±I have to tell you about the perpetrator.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin ya and Wang Li were both confused, not understanding what joesse meant. After her detailed exnation, the two of them finally understood why she said that. ¡°F * ck!¡± Lin ya mmed her palm on the table in anger. ¡°What kind of people are these? can¡¯t they just do it openly? Why did he have to y these pilfering games? Don¡¯t get caught by me! If I catch them, I¡¯ll never let them go!¡± Lin ya was so angry that her breathing began to Quicken. Wang Li was also frowning tightly. She felt that this matter seemed to be moreplicated than she had imagined. It was difficult to resolve. The people hiding at the back were the most difficult to find. On the other hand, the victim, Chen Anna, who had alreadyined to Joes once, was much calmer now.¡±Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. It¡¯s so annoying. President Zheng and my boyfriend, Chen, have sent people to investigate. I hope that we¡¯ll get the results soon. ¡± Chen Anna also hated this kind of people, and naturally hoped that they could be brought to justice. However, the situation was not good now, so she would not force anything. She would just let nature take its course. Wang Li looked at Jossi and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, what do you think of this?¡± The other two looked at Joes as well, causing her to frown slightly. She quickly rxed and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s true that things are very strange. They also sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the perpetrator. However, I feel that something is amiss, and I can¡¯t figure out the key point. Anna, have you offended anyone?¡± Joes¡¯s gaze was extremely serious. She had thought so from the beginning, but it was only her intuition, and it was a guess without any evidence. Previously, when Zheng Zeyi and ye chen were around, it was not easy to tell them. Now, there was no such concern. ¡°Let me think.¡± Chen Anna fell into deep thought. She began to search through her memories for the people who had made her enemies, and it took a long time before she got the results. ¡°I¡¯m rtively approachable in thepany and I don¡¯t seem to have a grudge against anyone. There¡¯s just a ... Manager who had a fight with me previously over the sry.¡± At this point, Anna Chen hesitated and waved her hand,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think it has anything to do with that manager. She¡¯s just a manager, how could she have such a powerful background? Besides, our quarrel happened a few months ago. She can¡¯t possibly hold a grudge until now and be so angry that she hit me with her car, right?¡± Chapter 557 - Tell the people in the restaurant

Chapter 557: Tell the people in the restaurant

Trantor: 549690339

Chen Anna¡¯s own tone was full of disbelief when she spoke of this, let alone the others. Joes nodded.¡±It shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with that manager of yours. Is there anyone else who doesn¡¯t like you?¡± ¡°Uh ...¡± Chen Anna smiled helplessly. She felt that she was not particrly popr after hearing these words. She thought for a while and shook her head,¡±¡±That¡¯s all. Even if the people in thepany have it, it¡¯s just a small friction. I¡¯m sure she hasn¡¯t reached the point of killing anyone. There¡¯s one person who¡¯s quite vicious, but she can¡¯t do anything now. ¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Chen Anna said a name that she had not heard for a long time,¡±¡±Yang Yue Yue.¡± Upon hearing this name, even joesse was stunned for a moment and did not react immediately. It had been a long time since he had seen this person, let alone her name. She had already been in prison. Chen Anna was right. The hatred between Yang Yue Yue and them was enough to get her to hire a killer. But was she the only one? Joes raised her eyebrows and another candidate appeared in her mind. Do you think ... It could be Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s doing?¡± He was also a person who had disappeared for a long time. However, they all knew that Lin Xiu ¡®er had always been there, and she might have returned to city h at any time. It wasn¡¯t surprising for him to do such a thing. ¡°I¡¯m not sure,¡± Chen Anna said uncertainly.¡±It¡¯s just a guess. Whether or not they did it still needs to be verified.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± Lin ya and Wang Li heard the conversation between the two, and their emotions were quiteplicated. They all knew about Lin Xiu ¡®er and Yang Yue Yue. A year ago, the jewelry theft at Shiyupany was a hot topic. The inte was filled with rumors. If they had not found evidence and helped Joes resolve her injustice, who knew how long she would have to stay in the detention center. It could be seen how vicious the two women were. ¡°Are you talking about the two women from a year ago?¡± Lin ya guessed. Joes nodded.¡±It¡¯s them, but we can¡¯t confirm it yet. It¡¯s just a guess. We don¡¯t even have any clues, so we can¡¯t sort it out.¡± ¡°Sigh, there¡¯s no other way ...¡± Anna Chen sighed and finally chose to ept the reality. Everything would work out when it came to it. It was the best result that she didn¡¯t die, and her injuries would recover after a period of recuperation. He just didn¡¯t know if the engagement next month could still proceed as nned. If Chen Anna¡¯s scars had not healed by then, the engagement party would definitely not be held. It was an event that happened once a year, so it was natural that it had to be Grand and dressed beautifully. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Sisi, are you going to stay in the hospital with Anna tonight?¡± Lin ya asked. Jossi nced at the clock on the wall and nodded.¡±¡±This is what I¡¯ve prepared. Ye chen was herest night. I just told him to go back and rest. Just let me stay in the hospital tonight. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll keep it too. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stay too!¡± Lin ya and Wang Li immediately followed up after Joes finished speaking. Seeing that Chen Anna was so seriously injured, they couldn¡¯t leave in peace since they were all good friends. It just so happened that tomorrow was Sunday. As long as there was nothing to deal with in thepany, it didn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t rest well at night. ¡°You all want to stay?¡± Joes blinked her eyes. She had never thought of this. Lin ya and Wang Li both nodded heavily.¡±¡±If we all stay, we¡¯ll havepany and won¡¯t be too bored. We can still y fight thendlord at night, but it¡¯s just that the volume has to be lower so as not to disturb others. ¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you guys can stay.¡± Naturally, Joes did not have any objections. Chen Anna also said,¡±¡±Alright, then you guys can stay and apany me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Lin ya was overjoyed, and Wang Li was also smiling. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Therefore, this scene was formed in the hospital ward at night. ¡°Three against three!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t afford it.¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes widened. She looked at the cards in her hand and then at Wang Li.¡±No way, Lili. You can¡¯t even afford a pair of threes?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t we do it without couplets?¡±Wang Li gave her a look. ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I¡¯ve lost to you.¡± Lin ya facepalmed and turned her gaze to Jossi, who had yed a three-on-three, and threw out two cards.¡±¡±Eight!¡± ¡°Wang bomb, he won!¡± Joes had no cards left in her hands. After she had yed all her cards, she could not help but smile. Lin ya¡¯s head drooped.¡±¡±Sisi, why are you so lucky? We¡¯ve won three times in a row!¡± ¡°Luck, luck.¡± Joes was extremely humble as she waved her hand. The three of them did not notice the resentful gazes from the other bed. Chen Anna¡¯s eyes were filled with despair. Sheid on the bed and looked at the ceiling nkly. Then, she looked at her arm that was in a cast. Given his situation, Joes and the others did not hesitate to start a three-person game of ¡®fight thendlord¡¯. Just as the three of them were about to start the next round, Chen Anna finally couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Are the three of you really staying here to keep mepany or to y the game?¡± She had been lying here and watching ¡°fight thendlord¡± for a long time. She felt that if this continued, she would be depressed. If it wasn¡¯t for her arm, she would also want to participate in the battle, instead of being a wounded person lying here and unable to see the battle. ¡°This ...¡± After saying that, Joes and the others looked at each other and quickly made a decision. They immediately kept the poker cards on the sofa. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll stop ying cards and chat with you. Is that okay?¡± Joes winked and said. Chen Anna snorted and raised her chin,¡±¡±Just barely. It¡¯s not good to leave an injured person like me here.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Anna, you¡¯re right.¡± Lin ya and the others quickly brought chairs over and sat around the bed. The sky outside was gradually getting dark. It was almost Sixo¡¯ clock, and they had not had dinner yet. After chatting for a while, Lin ya looked at the time and got up.¡±¡±It¡¯s gettingte, you guys should be hungry, right? I remember there¡¯s a pretty good restaurant downstairs. I¡¯ll go down and pack some things up. ¡± Speaking of food, they were indeed a little hungry. Joes nodded her head slightly and instructed,¡±¡±By the way, the doctor said that Anna wants to eat something light. Remember to tell the people in the restaurant.¡± Chen Anna couldn¡¯t touch things that were too greasy at the moment. She would only have the chance to do so after she recovered. Chapter 558

Chapter 558: There are still golden mushrooms here

Chen Anna¡¯s face scrunched up. She had wanted to get a few pieces of meat to eat, but now it seemed impossible. Lin ya didn¡¯t care about his expression. She made an ok gesture and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go down and buy it now. ¡± ¡°Alright, be careful on the road.¡± When Lin ya got up and was about to leave, Wang Li was afraid that Lin ya couldn¡¯t carry so many things on her own, so she followed her down. Without the two of them, the ward was not as lively as before. Joesse picked up her phone and saw a few messages that Zheng Zeyi had just sent. They had not been read. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her intuition told her that it might be about Chen Anna¡¯s car ident. She immediately turned on her phone. ¡°Anna,¡± he said to Anna,¡±take a rest first. I might have something to deal with here.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joesse took a look at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s message. It was exactly as she had expected. It was indeed about the car ident. After a day¡¯s search, they did find the person who caused the car ident in the mountain. However ... What they found was his corpse! That¡¯s right, the person who caused Chen Anna¡¯s car ident had died long ago, and his body was thrown in the mountain. If Zheng Zeyi and ye chen had not sent people to carry out a nket search, they would not have found such a shocking result. Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed as she looked at her phone screen. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?!¡± She was surprised. Things were getting more and more confusing now. The real truth was hidden behind the scenes, but there were no clues to point it to. At this moment, Joes was even starting to doubt if the person behind this was going to target Chen Anna or herself. This possibility seemed small, but it had always been hidden in Joes ¡®heart. Chen Anna had told him about her situation. She didn¡¯t usually offend anyone, and she got along well with her colleagues in thepany. At most, there would be some small friction. It was impossible to go to the extent of killing people to silence them. However, joesse was different. From the start until now, she had already experienced several dangerous situations. There was also one time where he almost died in the sea of fire. He had been so close to death. ¡°It seems like ... I still need to find more clues.¡± Qiao si pursed her lips, typed an ¡°okay¡± and sent it over. She soon received Zheng Zeyi¡¯s next reply. Zheng Zeyi,¡±by the way sisi, CEO ye said not to tell Chen Anna about this for the time being. After all, it¡¯s not a good thing.¡± At this point, Joes had the same thought. Chen Anna was still recuperating. What had happened had already happened. There was no use telling her that the culprit was dead. If it was the truth behind the scenes, it would be good to listen and understand it to increase his vignce in the future. ¡°I understand. You should rest well.¡± Joesse was also worried that Zheng ze did not rest enough, and she even saw dark circles under his eyes in the morning. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You should be careful too. I¡¯lle and pick you up.¡± After such a thing happened, Zheng Zeyi was naturally worried that something would happen to Qiao si si. He had long decided to drive her all the way. He could only feel slightly more at ease if he were to look after it himself. Otherwise, no matter who he handed it to, his heart would be in his throat. He had to protect his own woman. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± After hanging up the phone, Joes kept her phone. Chen Anna looked over and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, did something happen?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Naturally, Joes immediately expressed that nothing had happened. To avoid Chen Anna¡¯s suspicion, she quickly chose to change the topic. Not long after, Lin ya and Wang Li came back for dinner. The fragrant smell of the food could be smelled from far away. Lin ya was holding a bag, and so was Wang Li. The two of them entered the ward and quickly closed the door. ¡°How is it? Doesn¡¯t it smell good?¡± After she had something to eat, Lin ya¡¯s emotions were clearly more agitated, and she ced everything on the table. Wang Li also put down her things, but she took out something that was specially made for Chen Anna and said with a smile,¡±¡±Anna, this is yours.¡± ¡°Mine?¡± Chen Anna was slightly stunned. After opening it, she found that it was just a bowl of in porridge with some side dishes. This was too light! Chen Anna was in a bad mood. She had waited for so long and this was what she got? The feeling of anticipation turning into disappointment was especially obvious to her. ¡°Why am I the only one to eat this? what are you guys eating?¡± Chen Annained with a little sadness. Upon hearing this, as if she was trying to provoke her, Joes took out a few other lunch boxes and a te of mutton. The fragrance immediately spread, making Chen Anna drool. She immediately put her food aside and reached out to take Joes¡¯s food, but she was stopped in the next moment. ¡°Pa!¡± Without any hesitation, Joss pped away Chen Anna¡¯s demonic ws and said,¡±¡±The doctor said that you can¡¯t eat anything too greasy for now. So, just take a look. Eat your food, you¡¯re not allowed to touch any of these dishes. ¡± ¡°Too much ...¡± Chen Anna pitifully retracted her hand, but her eyes were still fixed on the lunchboxes, and she licked her lips from time to time. This appearance made the few of themugh. ¡°Forget it, you guys go ahead and eat. Don¡¯t let me see you!¡± Chen Anna turned around in a fit of pique, picked up the spoon, and began to eat the porridge. The first mouthful scalded herself quite badly. However, in order to maintain her image, she endured it and didn¡¯t make a single sound. ¡°Sisi, look, there are still golden mushrooms here!¡± Lin ya opened the bag excitedly and took out a box of deep-fried mammy mushrooms, which made the others hungry. Chen Anna¡¯s hand that was holding the spoon paused. She threw the lunchbox away and said angrily,¡±¡±I¡¯m not eating anymore. The difference in treatment is too obvious!¡± She also knew that she couldn¡¯t eat it because she had just woken up, and the doctor had also specifically instructed her. However, it was really hard to swallow when he saw them eating so much fish and meat with so many delicacies while he only had a bowl of in porridge! Seeing Chen Anna¡¯s actions, Lin ya was a little embarrassed and said,¡±¡±Anna, we didn¡¯t do it on purpose. We just thought that the barbecue shop downstairs was quite delicious. You¡¯ve just woken up, so you can only eat light food. Eating these fried food will cause indigestion. ¡± Lin ya¡¯s expression turned serious. She wasn¡¯t joking, because she had experienced something simr before. Chapter 559

Chapter 559: Wait for my return with peace of mind

Trantor: 549690339

At that time, Lin ya didn¡¯t take the doctor¡¯s words to heart. After eating fried food, the next few days could be called hell! She didn¡¯t even want to eat anymore, but if she didn¡¯te out, her body would be very ufortable, so she had to eat. With the experience of someone who had been through this, Lin ya tried to persuade Chen Anna. Fortunately, her persuasion was effective. Seeing that Lin ya¡¯s expression didn¡¯t seem to be fake, Chen Anna could only give up on the barbecue. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve already said so, if I still eat it, then I¡¯m the one who doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for me.¡± Chen Anna felt a little sad. She picked up her congee and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Even if it didn¡¯t taste that good, it could at least fill one¡¯s stomach, right? ¡°Don¡¯t be sad,¡± Joes saw through Anna Chen¡¯s expression and patted her on the shoulder.¡±¡±Then, we promise you that after you recover ... How about we each treat you to a hot pot? You¡¯ll have earned three meals by then, so you should rest well for now. That should be fine, right?¡± After saying this, Chen Anna¡¯s mood finally improved a little. Lin ya and Wang Li had no objections to this suggestion and both agreed. They could still afford a hot pot. After Lin ya had tidied up all the lunch boxes, they filled up half the table, and most of them were barbecue. Qiao sisi liked to make noodles, so Wang Li had even thoughtfully brought her a portion of ramen. However, she had instructed the store owner to put in less, so the amount was rtively small. This way, Joes would be able to free up her stomach to eat other barbecued food. ¡°What a sumptuous feast.¡± Hearing Lin ya¡¯s words, joesse nodded in agreement. Seeing the dishes on the table, Chen Anna ate her porridge even faster. She consoled herself in her heart that it had only been a short while. At least she had earned three hot pot meals. No loss! Joes picked up a bunch of golden mushrooms and took a bite. It was unusually chewy and more delicious than she had imagined. The one who enjoyed the meal the most was Lin ya. Before she could even swallow the food in her mouth, she hurriedly went to grab the other things on the table, afraid that there would not be enough food. Wang Li and Qiao sisi were somewhat simr. The two of them ate more elegantly, unlike Lin ya who gobbled up food. By the time they finished their meal, it was already dark outside. A light breeze blew in from the slightly opened window. ¡°Burp!¡± Lin ya¡¯s burp echoed throughout the ward. She patted her stomach, her face full of satisfaction. There were only her sisters in the ward, so she had nothing to hide. Of course, if Li Chang was here, it would be a different story. To the current Lin ya, Li Chang was the Prince Charming she wanted to court, so she naturally had to maintain her image. Joes looked at the messy table and said,¡±¡±Clean it up, it¡¯s too dirty.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lin ya and Wang Li answered in unison. After tidying up the table, Joes walked to the bed and saw Anna Chen who had already fallen asleep. Although the doctor said that it was no big deal, he had just woken up and his body was still very weak. It was only natural for him to be tired after an entire afternoon. Joes gestured for Lin ya and Wang Li to be more gentle and asked softly,¡±¡±Do you two want to go back first?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going back!¡± The first person to answer was Wang Li.¡±¡±We¡¯ll stay here with Anna for the night. There shouldn¡¯t be much work tomorrow, so it¡¯ll be fine even if we don¡¯t get a good rest.¡± ¡°I also think so!¡± Worried that she would be excluded if she didn¡¯t speak, Lin ya quickly added to show her presence. The two of them were very determined, and Joes could only give up on her own idea. ¡°Alright, then you two can stay. I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa. There¡¯s another bed over there, you two can sleep there.?¡± Inparison, the sofa was definitely harder. Lin ya was about to refuse, but Jossi saw through her intentions and rejected her directly,¡±¡±If you¡¯re staying, then listen to my arrangements. Otherwise, all of you can go home!¡± After being a President for some time, joesse still looked very dignified. Her words made Lin ya shut her mouth and she said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you. Put a nket under you, or it¡¯ll be too hard to sleep on.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± When night fell, the entire hospital was quiet. Only Lin ya and joesse were still awake, ying with their phones on the bed and the sofa. One of them was chatting with her future boyfriend, while the other was chatting with her fianc¨¦. ¡°Sisi, how¡¯s it going on your side?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Xiaoya and Lili are here to apany me. I told ye chen to go back and rest. ¡± Joes typed a string of words. Long ago, Qiao si si had specially sent a message to ye chen to inform him of this matter but had not received a reply. Hence, Joes guessed that he was probably too tired and had not woken up yet. On Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side, he had already exined to Qiao sisi that he was still investigating the hit-and-run incident. It was best to do many things in person, so that the effect would be better and faster, and there would be no dy. Qiao si looked at her phone, but she missed Zheng Zeyi. She reminded him,¡±¡±Those people are extremely vicious. You must pay attention to your safety. This matter can be investigated slowly, but safety is the most important, do you understand?¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes¡¯s expression was extremely serious. Even if Zheng ze could not see her expression, he could imagine it. Unfortunately, what Joes did not know was that her fianc¨¦ was the president of the Zheng¡¯s group on the surface. In fact, he was still a good hand in the gray area. From many years ago, it was already an existence that struck fear into the hearts of those who heard it, not to mention the more ruthless means it was using now. Previously, Jiang hai had been taught a lesson before he was sent to prison, but he did not escape the same fate after he was sent to prison. The people that Zheng Zeyi had bribed in the prison would beat him up every day. At the very least, they would give him a beating. At the very most, they would not even have food to eat. They could only be a sandbag in the prison. Jianghai city could not handle such a situation. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s goal was to kill him in prison. It wouldn¡¯t be long before a man named Jianghai would disappear from this world. To Zheng Zeyi, Jiang hai should have known that this would be the oue of his actions. It was not easy to touch his woman.? ¡°I know. You don¡¯t have to worry about my safety. I know what to do. You must rest well and wait for me toe back.?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words reduced the worry in Qiao SI¡¯s heart.? Since he said so, it meant that the situation was still under control. ? Chapter 560

Chapter 560: I¡¯ve really returned you the money

Trantor: 549690339

Liu Yun¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of this matter. But she didn¡¯t think about it. With Qiao Lei¡¯s personality and the fact that he didn¡¯t have much money in his pocket, how could he make rich friends? Qiao Lei didn¡¯t want to reveal his past in front of Liu Yun, so he simply replied with a few words and changed the topic. He seemed to be bored eating noodles in the kitchen, so he picked up the bowl and walked to the living room. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go to my room to eat and y a few games,¡± Qiao Lei said without turning his head.¡±You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± Liu Yun looked at Qiao Lei¡¯s back and only looked at Qiao Feng after he closed the door. They didn¡¯t really care about Qiao Lei¡¯s gaming. Their only request was for Qiao Lei to be sessful. He had been leaving early and returningte these few days, so they thought he was just looking for a job. He didn¡¯t know that Qiao Lei was always running around the karaoke Center. He didn¡¯t even think about finding a job. Liu Yun and Qiao Feng only had one son, and they were counting on him to carry on the family line and take care of them in their old age. That was because they couldn¡¯t scold or hit him. It was only when they owed him money for the first time that Qiao Feng and the others were a little harsh with their words. ¡°How¡¯s the taste, my dear?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, it doesn¡¯t taste that good,¡± Qiao Feng¡¯s tone was indifferent, as if he was evaluating the taste of the dishes. If Jossi was here, how could she possibly let this kind of person get away with it? if she didn¡¯t want to eat, she would still eat. Liu Yun didn¡¯t think so. She looked at Qiao Feng eating his noodles and couldn¡¯t help but move closer. But when she got close, she smelled a strange scent, like a mixture of perfume and sweat. Liu Yun was stunned when she suddenly smelled it. At first, she thought it was her imagination, but after taking a closer look, she realized that it was Qiao Feng¡¯s smell. She hadn¡¯t thought of that matter yet, and only asked in confusion,¡±¡±Husband, what¡¯s that smell on you? Why is it so strange?¡± Suddenly, Qiao Feng¡¯s hand that was holding the noodles stopped. He trembled for a moment before he continued to eat calmly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± he said.¡±Maybe I got it on when I was moving bricks at the construction site today. A few young men came today, and I think they all sprayed perfume.¡± That one sentence dispelled Liu Yun¡¯s suspicion. Liu Yun finally understood the truth of the matter. She smiled and said,¡±These people just like to p their own faces and pretend to be fat. Why do they still use perfume?¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Qiao Feng smiled awkwardly. The reason why Liu Yun did not suspect him was also because Qiao Feng would bring money to the house every day. It was more than 100 yuan. Liu Yun knew that, but she did not care about the money. All of the Qiao family¡¯s money was on the Qiao family¡¯s fans, so they had to get Qiao Feng¡¯s permission before they could do anything. Liu Yun¡¯s daily allowance for grocery shopping was fixed at a maximum of 50 yuan. If it exceeded this amount, Qiao Feng would not give it to her at all. Not only that, he even wanted Liu Yun to think of a solution herself. She felt that it was useless even if she was dissatisfied. She had no money on her and her son was at home, looking forward to retirement. So, she could only continue to work. Ten minutester, Qiao Feng finished his noodles and threw the bowl on the table. He got up and went back to his room without any hesitation. Liu Yun was already used to it. She took the bowl to the sink to wash it. Qiao Lei had just finished eating his noodles. He walked to the kitchen and ced the bowl in the sink as he said,¡±¡±Mom, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Liu Yun was a little gratified. She shook her head and said,¡±Lei, you¡¯re finally sensible. It¡¯s not hard on mom. As long as you do your job well, it¡¯s fine. Alright, it¡¯ste now, go to sleep. ¡± ¡°I know, mom.¡± Qiao Lei said, pretending to be obedient. As soon as he turned around, his expression changed. He was still as roguish as before, just like a little hooligan. Qiao Lei had not changed much. If speaking nicely could make Liu Yun and Qiao Feng trust him more, why not? Wasn¡¯t this a case of one willing to hit and one willing to suffer? Zhao Hai ¡®er noticed the change, but she didn¡¯t say anything. She just leaned back on the sofa and rested. ¡°Buzz.¡± At that moment, his phone rang. At first, Zhao Hai ¡®er thought it was her phone, but when she saw Qiao Lei take out his phone, she let out a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn¡¯t hers. She thought that the advertisement incident had happened again, which really made her a little worried. He still had to go out and check tomorrow, in case that B * tch Leng Yan saw that today¡¯s matter had been resolved and came up with such a sinister n again! She could not get Qian Yu to like her, so she had to resort to such a despicable method. Zhao Hai ¡®er had cursed Leng Yan countless times in her heart. ¡°An unknown number? Whose is it?¡± Qiao Lei nced at the disy on the phone page. Although he didn¡¯t know who was calling, he still picked up. He had bought a lottery ticket at the lottery booth before. Maybe he won the lottery and called. The facts proved that Qiao Lei was overthinking. It was a very familiar voice on the other end of the phone. He would probably never forget the existence of dust as a nightmare. ¡°Qiao Lei, I think you¡¯ve been too arrogant these days. You didn¡¯t even mention returning the money. Do you think we¡¯re easy to bully?¡± The one who spoke was boss long, who had not appeared for a long time! Return the money? This time, Qiao Lei waspletely shocked. In addition, he was suddenly contacted by boss long, and he didn¡¯t know what to say for a while. The calctive look he had when he was with his parents had disappeared. He now looked like a submissive viin. Boss long didn¡¯t hear a reply for a long time and was a little angry. He raised his voice,¡±¡±I say, you little brat, can¡¯t you hear me? Are you not going to return the money? if you don ¡®t, just tell me and I¡¯ll bring my brothers to you!¡± As soon as he said this, Qiao Lei was terrified and quickly said,¡±¡±Brother! I didn¡¯t mean it that way, but I¡¯ve already paid you back the money I owed you!¡± This matter was too explosive. Qiao Lei looked around and saw Zhao Hai ¡®er, who seemed to be asleep on the sofa, and Liu Yun, who was busy in the kitchen. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly took his phone and ran back to his room. If this matter were to be known, his parents might go crazy! After returning to his room, Qiao Lei locked the door and said softly,¡±¡±Boss long, I¡¯m really returning the money to you! You were the one who told me to transfer the money to your bank card, and I did as you told me!¡± What he said was the truth. However, Qiao Lei didn¡¯t know that there was a bigger secret behind this. Chapter 561

Chapter 561: Chapter 561

¡°I believe you.¡± When Joes typed these words, she felt a faint warmth in her heart. The two of them chatted for a while, and Zheng Zeyi began to urge joesse to go to bed. After all, it was gettingte, and staying upte was not good for the body. His own woman, of course, had to be pampered by him. Initially, Qiao si had wanted to say a few more words, but since Zheng Zeyi had already said so, she did not continue retorting. After saying goodnight, she turned off her phone and ced it under her pillow. Just as Joes was about to sleep, she turned her gaze to Lin ya and realized that there was still a faint light on Lin ya¡¯s side. It seemed like Lin ya was not ready to sleep. If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, he should be chatting with Li Chang. It was obvious from Lin ya¡¯s bashful smile that this was the case. Even a fool would know. These two people would probably confirm their rtionship soon. Joes smiled helplessly, covered herself with the nket, and fell asleep. Not long after, Lin ya also fell asleep. What they did not know was that not long after they had fallen asleep, ye chen, who was worried about Chen Anna, came to the hospital. Of course, he would be worried if he let a girl like Jossi look after him. In the end, when ye chen came to the hospital, he found that there were several people in the ward. In his shock, he quietly left the ward. He didn¡¯t think of it at first, but he epted it very quickly. That night, ye chen did not leave the hospital. Instead, he rested on the bench in the corridor for the night. At this moment, he didn¡¯t know that Chen Anna had woken up. However, he wanted to take better care of his girlfriend tomorrow. That was why ye chen had chosen to stay. The night passed by peacefully. ¡­¡­¡­ At this moment, no one was sleeping in the Qiao family¡¯s house. The lights were on, and it was very obvious from the outside of the apartment. In the kitchen. During this period, Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei came home veryte. This was not the first time. Liu Yun was almost used to making supper at night. Normally, Zhao Hai ¡®er would go to bed early, but today was different. After she came back from outside for a few minutes, she seemed a little off. Instead of going to sleep, she sat in the living room in a daze. After Liu Yun had finished preparing the supper, she ced it on the table and covered it. When she saw Zhao Hai ¡®er in the living room, she could not help but frown. She quickly walked over and said,¡±¡±Hai ¡®er, why aren¡¯t you sleeping today? Are you going to stay for supper too?¡± Supper? Zhao Hai ¡®er snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the two bowls of noodles in the kitchen. One was for Qiao Feng, and the other was for Liu Yun. Zhao Hai was not an idiot. When he saw the two servings of noodles, he knew that Liu Yun did not want to make his portion. She did not want to waste that little bit of food. ¡°No, I¡¯m not eating.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s tone wasn¡¯t very good. Upon hearing this, Liu Yun¡¯s expression finally looked a little better. She mumbled to herself as she returned to the kitchen,¡±¡±That¡¯s more like it. I still need to make some side dishes. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face twisted, and she gritted her teeth. The difference in treatment was really serious. Finally, she had experienced the Qiao family¡¯s favoritism of men and women. She knew how disgusting this family was. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± After a while, someone knocked on the door of the Qiao family¡¯s residence. Knowing that Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei had returned, Zhao Hai ¡®er sat on the sofa and did not rush to open the door. Ever since she saw those small advertisements today, all of them were about her. She felt like she was about to copse. Zhao Hai ¡®er spent the entire afternoon dealing with the small advertisements in the corridor. She didn¡¯t even have time to eat before she finally cleared all the small advertisements. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t meet anyone living in this apartment, or she would have been embarrassed! However, Zhao Hai ¡®er wasn¡¯t sure if the woman called Leng Yan had only put up some small advertisements in the corridor. Or ... Had it already been spread all over the world? It was because of this that Zhao Hai ¡®er was still worried, so she gave up on going out and stayed at home for the whole day. ¡°Hai ¡®er, why didn¡¯t you open the door?¡± Liu Yun listened to the knocking on the living room door for a while, but there was no response. She put down what she was doing and ran to the living room, chiding Zhao Hai ¡®er. Zhao Hai ¡®er wasn¡¯t afraid. She pouted and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s sote. Can¡¯t I open the door by myself with the key?¡± Liu Yun stopped in her tracks. She had forgotten that there was indeed a key! When Qiao Feng and the others went out, they always brought their keys with them, but they had a habit of not opening the door. Liu Yun felt a little awkward, but she did not show it on her face. She red at Zhao Hai ¡®er and said,¡±¡±What are you talking about, kid? that¡¯s your dad and brother! So what if he opened the door? You¡¯re so tired, I think you¡¯re really regressing now!¡± After being criticized like that, Liu Yun felt that she had finally regained some of her dignity. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s expression and ran to open the door. As expected, Qiao Lei and Qiao Feng were standing outside. The two of them were empty-handed and didn¡¯t take anything. They just didn¡¯t want to open the door themselves. Liu Yun put the matter of the keys to the back of her mind and wiped her oily hands on her apron.¡±You two are finally back. Come in quickly!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Qiao Feng replied casually. He walked into the apartment first and saw Zhao Hai ¡®er sitting in the living room. He furrowed his brows and pretended not to see anything as he walked straight into the kitchen. What happenedst time had already happened. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hatred for Qiao Feng was real and there was no way they could reconcile. Moreover, in Qiao Feng¡¯s eyes, Zhao Hai ¡®er was not his biological daughter at all. She was just a step-daughter. What¡¯s the use? The only use for him to stay was to help Qiao Lei pay back the money and contribute to the Qiao family. ¡°Lei, where did you go tonight?¡± The voice naturally came from Liu Yun. Liu Yun followed the two of them to the kitchen and waited on them like a nanny. Qiao Lei, who was eating noodles, replied without hesitation,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t go anywhere. I just went out to have a meal with a few friends I just met.¡± ¡°You just met?¡± Liu Yun was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered andughed,¡±¡±My son is amazing. Our family just arrived in city H. How are your friends ¡°families, Lei? are they all very rich? You must get along well with them. ¡± Chapter 562

As if he felt that this wasn¡¯t too safe, Qiao Lei added a few more words,¡±¡±Boss long, every word I said is true! I still have the transaction record of that money transfer!¡± As evidence, Qiao Lei kept it. It wasn¡¯t a stupid idea, but they wouldn¡¯t believe it if the money wasn¡¯t in boss Long¡¯s hands. ¡°Hehe.¡± Boss longughed coldly and said with anger,¡±¡±You¡¯re really good at lying now, kid. I told you to transfer the money to my bank card. But when did I send you my bank ount number? Now that you¡¯re quibbling, does that mean you don¡¯t want to pay back the money?¡± ¡°Boss long, brother long! It really isn¡¯t like this!¡± Qiao Lei was on the verge of tears. He really wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy to the old man on the phone. He had clearly returned the money! 300,000 Yuan, not a single cent more, not a single cent less. After paying back the money, he didn¡¯t have much money on him. When he went out to y, he would beg Liu Yun or Qiao Feng for some money. The bulk of it was the money he had borrowed from the loan software. If he borrowed a little from each of them, it would be enough for him to deal with the outside world for a long time. Although he didn¡¯t borrow much, ording to Qiao Lei¡¯s personality, if it continued to snowball, it would grow into a huge debt sooner orter. Boss long didn¡¯t listen to Qiao Lei¡¯s exnation either.¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t exin so much to me. It¡¯s no use. I haven¡¯t received the money, so your debt can¡¯t be canceled. If you don¡¯t give me three hundred thousand by tomorrow, you¡¯re dead!¡± Under the threat, Qiao Lei started to tremble. ¡°Boss long,¡± he said in a trembling voice,¡±you gave me your contact information. I asked you on WeChat, and you only sent me your bank ount number!¡± ¡°What?¡± After boss long heard this, he was also a little surprised. However, he quickly agreed and didn¡¯t really care about this matter.¡±¡±You¡¯re talking about that WeChat ount? I don¡¯t know which bastard stole it. I can¡¯t even use it now, so how can I send you my bank ount number? stop cheating!¡± Boss long scolded Qiao Lei a few more times and was toozy to continue arguing with him. But after hearing these words, Qiao Lei was stunned and stood in ce. How could it be ... Boss Long¡¯s WeChat was hacked? Then who was the one who had sent him his bank ount number thest time? In an instant, Qiao Lei felt a trace of fear. Someone must be plotting against him behind the scenes. This was for sure! If not for that, how could that sum of money not be in boss Long¡¯s hands? Although boss long wasn¡¯t a good person, he still had a good reputation in the circle. At least he wouldn¡¯t deny that he had taken someone¡¯s money. It was because of this that Qiao Lei wasn¡¯t in a hurry to pay back the money. ¡°You¡¯re not going to talk? I¡¯m hanging up. I hope you can make up for this 300000 Yuan hole tomorrow!¡± With that, boss long hung up the phone. ¡°Toot ...¡± Hearing the notification from the phone, Qiao Lei¡¯s eyes moved and he finally came back to his senses. The videophone had been hung up, so it was useless even if he wanted to say anything. ¡°Damn it!¡± Qiao Lei was so angry that he punched the wall directly, making a huge sound. Even the paint on the wall fell off. At this moment, Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t care about this at all. His eyes were red and his fingers were stuck in his hair. One could clearly see his desperate expression. ¡°Why ... Who¡¯s trying to kill me behind my back?!¡± Qiao Lei mumbled softly and closed his eyes. The deadline given by boss long was tomorrow, and it would be up in a few hours. How was he going to raise 300000 Yuan for boss long in such a short time? This was simply impossible! Qiao Lei was a little scared. Liu Yun, who was outside, heard such a loud noise and quickly ran over to knock on the door. She asked,¡±Lei, did something happen inside?¡± Why was there such a loud noise just now?¡± Hearing Liu Yun¡¯s worried voice, Qiao Lei¡¯s face recovered a little, but it was still pale. Gritting his teeth, Qiao Lei pretended that nothing had happened.¡±¡±I¡¯m fine, mom. I just bumped into her. ¡± ¡°Alright ...¡± Liu Yun was still in a state of disbelief. She did not probe further and returned to the kitchen to settle her things. At this time, Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had been sitting on the sofa, finally stood up and walked toward her room. Before he left, he even revealed a smile. She hadn¡¯t fallen asleep at all just now, and she had more or less guessed the contents of the conversation between Qiao Lei and boss long. If there were no idents, it was the money that had gone wrong! Since Qiao Lei dared to work with Qiao Feng on Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s money, he should have expected this oue! Zhao Hai ¡®er was not a kind person. It was all her money, so she would definitely take revenge. At the same time, Qiao Lei¡¯s side was even worse off. He looked at his phone for a long time and wanted to call boss long again, but he was rejected. At this point, Qiao Lei knew that there was no room for discussion. He did not dare to tell Qiao Feng and Liu Yun. Otherwise, he did not know what the consequences would be. ¡°What should I do? what should I do ...¡± For the entire night, Qiao Lei was caught up in such an anxious mood that he couldn¡¯t get out of it and couldn¡¯t sleep well. No one knew about this matter. ¡­¡­¡­ In the morning. In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. In the hospital, Joes and the rest who were sleeping in the ward earlier had woken up. Only Chen Anna was still asleep. Considering the quality of her sleep, the few of them lowered their voices andmunicated with hand gestures. There were even a few mistakes. Helpless, Joes could only say softly,¡±¡±You guys go wash up first. I¡¯ve already finished washing up. I¡¯ll go buy breakfast.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lin ya nodded. ¡°Then we¡¯ll wait for you here,¡± Wang Li also said.¡±Be careful on the road.¡± After she finished speaking, joesse opened the door to the ward and closed it behind her without making a sound. ¡°Let¡¯s buy something light today. ¡± Joes mumbled softly. When she turned around, she saw ye chen walking over with breakfast. ¡°Ye chen?¡± She eximed in disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s me. ¡± Ye chen nodded slightly. He waved the breakfast in his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already had a good rest. I just happened toe over to bring you breakfast.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse was no longer surprised. After all, ye chen must have been worried about Chen Anna¡¯s health. It was normal for him to rush over so early. He had only brought breakfast along. With this thought in mind, Qiao sisi looked at the breakfast in ye Chen¡¯s hands and was even more surprised. Chapter 563

Chapter 563: Basking in the sisters ¡°light

The bag in ye Chen¡¯s hand was filled with at least several servings of soy milk and buns. It did not look like it was for one person. Jossi recalled the text she had sentst night and smiled.¡±¡±Then you must have seen my text message yesterday, which is why you bought so many copies, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Ye chen nodded. He nced at the tightly shut door and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, did Anna wake up yesterday?¡± The reason why Joes did not tell Anna Chen about this yesterday was so that he could have a good day¡¯s rest. Who knew that she would immediately guess this matter as soon as she arrived at the hospital? Since he had already asked, joesse could not hide anything and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t tell you yesterday, but Anna¡¯s idea was to let you rest well. Come in with me, she should wake up soon, and her body is much better, but we¡¯ll have to let the doctor check it again to confirm it. ¡± Just by looking at how much Chen Anna wanted to eat meat yesterday, it could be seen that she had indeed recovered very well. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Ye chen followed Qiao sisi into the ward and saw Lin ya and Wang Li sitting by the bed. The two of them had seen ye chen before when they had hotpot. Now that he was here, they greeted him graciously. ¡°Hello.¡± Ye chen also smiled in response. However, the first thing he saw when he entered the ward was Chen Anna, who was still resting on the bed. That look was full of heartache. After ye chen retracted his gaze, he ced the breakfast on the table next to him and said,¡±¡±This is your breakfast, and the in porridge is for Anna.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we know. ¡± Lin ya gave an ¡®ok¡¯ sign and picked up her own portion. She also took out Qiao si SI¡¯s and Wang Li ¡®s. Wang Li held the soy milk and fried dough sticks and looked at ye chen in confusion. She asked,¡±Mr. Ye, don¡¯t you want to eat?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. ¡°Ye chen smiled. After that, he did not say anything more. Instead, he sat by Chen Anna¡¯s bed and looked at her sleeping. ¡°Sigh, another wave of dog food.¡± Lin ya sighed and pulled Qiao sisi and Wang Li to the sofa for breakfast. She decided not to disturb the couple. In that case, when Chen Anna woke upter, the first person she would see would be ye chen. She would be happier to see him again after two days. Deep-fried dough sticks, bean milk, and soup dumplings were the perfect match. Lin ya¡¯s mouth was full of oil. Since ye chen was here, she could not ignore her image and quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue. It was already ten minutester when they finished their breakfast. Jossi tidied up the items on the table as she said,¡±¡±Ye chen, you stay here and watch. We have to go back to thepany. I¡¯ll call a doctor for you and check on Anna¡¯s condition. She should be getting better. ¡± ¡°This way ...¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t I go by myself? you guys have been here for the whole night,¡± ye chen said after some consideration. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Qiao sisi immediately shook her head. Without giving ye chen a chance to refuse, she pulled Lin ya and left the ward. Outside the ward. ¡°Sisi, why are you in such a hurry to leave?¡± Lin ya asked, confused. After hearing this, Joes pondered for a moment before exining to Lin ya,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you see how ye chen was prepared toe by himself? Also, Anna is going to wake up soon, and I have to deal with somepany matters. I haven¡¯t been there for two days, so why don¡¯t I leave the things here to him and give them some space?¡± Chen Anna had been unconscious for two days! During this period, ye chen had been worried sick. It was time to give the two of them some private space and let them talk about their feelings. ¡°Oh ... Sisi, I understand now. Well done!¡± Lin ya nodded in agreement and even gave him a thumbs up. Joes smiled helplessly. Wang Li, who was beside her, also teased,¡±¡±I see that you were quite understanding just now. You even knew to go to the sofa for breakfast. Howe you don¡¯t know about it now that sisi said so?¡± Hearing that, Lin ya choked. She red at Wang Li, who was talking nonsense, and said,¡±¡±What do you mean by this? I just didn¡¯t react in time.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, you¡¯re right.¡± Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight again, Joes quickly acted as a peacemaker and persuaded the two of them to stop. Soon, the three of them told the doctor about Chen Anna¡¯s condition and left the hospital. Initially, Joes ¡®car was not in the hospital¡¯s parking lot, but Zheng ze had expected this situation from the start. Therefore, the three of them saw her car as soon as they came out. Sisi, did you drive here too?¡± Lin ya asked casually as she walked up to the car to admire it. The praises were endless. Luxury cars were indeed beautiful. The key was that Zheng Zeyi was very good at picking. No girl would be able to reject this color and style. ¡°No, I don¡¯t ...¡± Joes was stunned for a moment before she realized that this matter was most likely her fianc¨¦¡¯s doing. It had to be said that he was really thoughtful. She could not help but smile when she recalled Zheng ze¡¯s serious expression when he said that he was only lending her the taxi for a while. At that time, Zheng Zeyi had promised that he would only take back his words after Joes had bought a new car or repaired the car. In the end, it was as if the car had really be joesse ¡®s, and she had been driving it all this time. ¡°Di di.¡± Joes temporarily suppressed the longing in her heart. After using the car key to unlock the door, she took the lead and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Lin ya, on the other hand, sat in the front passenger seat excitedly and observed the situation in the car with a sense of novelty. Wang Li was helpless when she saw this. What could she do? She could only be in the back. Wang Li was used to Lin ya¡¯s naivety, so she didn¡¯t say anything. She sat in the back seat and closed the door. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be my first time sitting in a luxury car. I¡¯m riding on the coattail of my sister.¡± Lin ya¡¯s tone was emotional. To be honest, if it was a year ago, she would never have imagined sitting in such a luxury car that cost tens of millions. What was even more unexpected was that she had found a stable job as a chief designer and received a considerable sry every month. Lin ya¡¯s hard work yed a huge part in this. Of course, joesse also contributed to this. Lin ya was very grateful to Qiao sisi, but since the two of them were now good friends, there were some things that she didn¡¯t need to say. Chapter 564

Saying too much or making it too obvious would not be good. ¡°Xiao Ya, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve taken too few cars? Didn¡¯t you always take the Audi before?¡± Wang Li retorted, which reminded the other two of Yingying¡¯s time in the Audi. That would be the real ... Life and death situation! For these few people, these were memories that they didn¡¯t want to recall. If they had been rescued anyter, they would have really died! Lin ya¡¯s mood instantly soured at the thought of that incident, and she said earnestly,¡±¡±Lili, let me ask you, do you know how to talk? The atmosphere is so good now, and you still bring up the previous matter? Those bastards are not worthy of our discussion!¡± Lin ya was a little angry. Fortunately, the final result was still good. The group of people got what they deserved, which made them feel a littleforted. This matter was too infuriating. Lin ya sensed that the atmosphere in the car was not right. As a pistachios, she was very dedicated to her duty, so she changed the topic. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Sisi...Your car is really nice. It¡¯s a gift from CEO Zheng, right?¡± Lin ya didn¡¯t have any doubt in her voice. She was clearly certain as she winked at Joes. ¡°Yeah,¡± Joesughed. Lin ya nodded in understanding and continued,¡±¡±It seems that I¡¯ll have to ride sisi¡¯s car when I¡¯m free to go to work in the future. If this gets out, my rtives and friends won¡¯t believe that I¡¯m sitting in a luxury car that¡¯s worth tens of millions!¡± Lin ya was telling the truth, and few people would believe her unless they had seen it with their own eyes. Even though she knew that Lin ya was joking, Joes still shot Lin ya a helpless look. Then, she looked away and started the car, ready to leave. Coincidentally, the phone suddenly rang at this time. ¡± The phone¡¯s ringtone was even clearer in the quiet car, apanied by a vibration. ¡°Sisi, there¡¯s a call.¡± Lin ya¡¯s reminder was naturally understood by joesse. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from Li Chang. ¡°Li Chang?¡± Joes furrowed her brows as an ominous feeling rose in her heart. She had a feeling that nothing good was about to happen. Li Chang had been sent by Zheng Zeyi to work for Xing Yuan design. He was very capable and basically would not make any mistakes. There were many things that Joes trusted Li Chang to make his own decisions on, unless it was something big that he couldn¡¯t decide on. Something big must have happened for Li Chang to call this time! Joes squinted her eyes and picked up the phone, saying,¡±¡±Hey, Li Chang, did something happen?¡± The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Li Chang¡¯s familiar voice sounded.¡±¡±President Qiao, you¡¯re a god.¡± As expected! Joes rubbed her brows and knew that something was wrong. Lin ya¡¯s ears twitched when she heard the two words ¡®Li Chang¡¯ from her mouth, and she quietly leaned in. ¡°Then tell me, what happened in the shop?¡± Joes was not in a hurry to start her car. She decided to figure out the situation of the shop first before making a decision. She might not be able to go to thepany. On the other end of the line, Li Chang nodded slightly and briefly described,¡±¡±President Qiao, the store not far from our store opened yesterday. There were no signs of a jewelry store before, but it has be a jewelry store now. Not only that, but their prices are lower and they have more promotions. The vip system is directly imitating the design of our store. ¡± If she still could not figure it out after hearing this, Jossi would not have to continue in the business world. Originally, he wanted to open other types of stores, but it suddenly became a jewelry store in the middle road, and the price was even lower. His intentions were clear. It was to suppress the star Yuan shops and make them lose their customers so that they could no longer continue to stand on this Street, and then step by step, they would close down. What Joes couldn¡¯t stand the most was that their vip system and reward system had directly copied Li Chang¡¯s idea. She knew Li Chang very well. If the matter wasn¡¯t confirmed, he wouldn¡¯t have said that and made it sound so serious. He would only report it to joesse immediately after he had evidence and verified it. Perhaps there would be fewer customers today and all of them would go to the newly opened jewelry store. ¡°Then, Li Chang, how¡¯s the situation in the store todaypared to usual?¡± Joes asked after a sigh. ¡°Not too ideal.¡± Li Chang¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t very good either. Usually, at this time, even if there weren¡¯t many customers in the shop, it wasn¡¯t to the extent that there was no one at all. After all, their shop had just opened not long ago, and there were still many people who felt that it was fresh. Now, all of them were gone. ¡°Alright, I got it. You can sort it out. I¡¯lle over to deal with this now.¡± Joes made her decision. Thepany wasn¡¯t in a hurry at the moment, but it seemed that the problem with the store was more serious. Of course, it had to be dealt with first. In fact, if they didn¡¯t handle it properly, all the customers would be taken away by that shop, and they could directly close down. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After Li Chang Hung up the phone, he went to do what he had to do. Joes also kept her phone, started the car, and stepped on the gas. Her destination was the star dor shop not far from here. Lin ya and Wang Li didn¡¯t hear what Li Chang said just now, but judging from joesse¡¯s tone, they knew it wasn¡¯t anything good. Lin ya didn¡¯t ask Li Chang. She thought for a while and asked,¡±¡±Sisi, did something happen in the shop?¡± Joes nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Something did happen in the store. Li Chang has already told me what happened.¡± At this point, Qiao sisi organized her words and told Lin ya and Wang Li what Li Chang had just said to her. The two of them were thepany¡¯s designers and also joesse¡¯s friends. There was nothing to hide about this. ¡°It¡¯s actually like this?¡± Unexpectedly, Lin ya¡¯s voice suddenly became louder after she heard what Joes said. Joes was so frightened that she almost stepped on the brakes. She patted her chest with one hand andined,¡±¡±Little ya, can you give me a warning before you speak? The noise suddenly became so loud that I almost stepped on the brakes. Then, we were all done for. ¡± Perhaps it was because she had been with Lin ya and Chen Anna for a long time, but Joes¡¯s speech had be more humorous. Jossi was not the only one who was shocked by what had just happened. Wang Li, who was sitting in the back seat, felt the same. She controlled her urge to roll her eyes and said,¡±¡±Xiao Ya, you said it yourself. Be more careful and be moredylike, okay?¡± Chapter 565

Hearing the two of them say that, Lin ya smiled awkwardly, and her emotions were not as agitated as before. She touched her nose and said awkwardly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I was just too angry just now and couldn¡¯t hold it in.¡± Thinking about how Li Chang¡¯s idea had been giarized, Lin ya was filled with anger. That was her man! The future ... How dare they giarize Li Chang¡¯s idea? Lin ya wanted to beat them up right now. Of all the things he could do, he had to do it as a human! ¡°You¡¯re right. That group of people is indeed despicable. In this industry, I hate people who giarize the most.¡± It was rare for Wang Li to express that they shared the same hatred for the enemy. There were countless cases of giarism in the design industry. Copying the vip system without any changes was no different from copying the design n. This was the reason why they were angry. If it was just opening a shop and the price was lower, Joes might not have ced so much importance on it. But from the looks of it, she was here for his shop! ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when we get to the store. I¡¯ll definitely make sure this ends with a good result. But now ... You guys sit tight!¡± Joes¡¯s voice instantly turned sharp. There were not many cars in front of her and the highway was still very smooth. After saying this, Lin ya and Wang Li had only just reacted when they suddenly felt Joes increase her speed. He stepped on the elerator as if he was racing! ¡°Sisi, sisi, slow down!¡± Lin ya¡¯s expression turned into one of horror as she clutched onto her seat belt tightly, afraid that an ident would happen. Wang Li¡¯s condition was slightly better, but she closed her eyes from time to time to calm her emotions. This was not the first time Joes drove at this speed. Thest time, she was trying to escape from Brother ck Dragon and his men. He was very fast, but he still couldn¡¯t escape in the end. This time, Lin ya and Wang Li felt it more clearly because they had changed their cars. It was also daytime, so it was normal to be worried. On the highway, a Lamborghini sped past, and only its fleeting figure could be seen on the surveince camera. ¡­¡­¡­ Ten minutester. ¡°rgh!¡± Lin ya was standing next to the car, and there happened to be a trash can. Her face was very light, and she was patting her chest, wanting to vomit. It was very ufortable to be unable to vomit. Although Wang Li did not feel like puking, her expression was extremely ugly and she felt ufortable all over. Only joesse was different. ¡°Xiao Ya, I¡¯m sorry. I drove too fast.¡± Joes blinked her eyes apologetically. She had thought that speed was nothing, but she did not expect her two good friends to have such a big reaction. Well, they were carsick ... It was not the fault of the car. Lin ya was also very understanding. After she felt better, she stood up and waved her hand.¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t been in such a fast car for a long time. It¡¯s not your fault, sisi, your driving skills have improved a lot recently, you deserve praise. ¡± ¡°Then ...¡± Before the two of them could finish ttering each other, Wang Li, who was still clear-headed, reminded them,¡±¡±Alright, now is not the time to chat. Store manager li is still waiting for us. Let¡¯s go and settle the things in the store first. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. ¡± Joes nodded. The car was parked in the parking lot not far from the star Yuan shop. They walked toward the shop and soon arrived inside. What they didn¡¯t know was that at the corner of the shop, there was a man holding a camera. After taking the photo, he left in a hurry, ready to report it to his superiors. Star Yuan shop. The store was still clean and tidy, and it was very high-end. The lighting was very soft. The moment Joes and the rest entered, they noticed that the shop was indeed much more empty and cheerless than a few days ago. Li Chang was looking for information near the counter in the beginning. When he saw the arrival of the few people, he quickly walked over. ¡°President Qiao.¡± Joes nodded.¡±Let¡¯s go to your office and talk. It won¡¯t be a problem with them here.¡± It¡¯s not convenient to talk about it outside, let¡¯s go. ¡± The group of them entered the office and Li Chang closed the door gently. He then handed the documents that he had already arranged to joesse. Seeing this situation, Lin ya and Wang Li tactfully stood to the side and did not say a word to avoid disturbing Qiao si si. Normally, Lin ya would have already gone up to talk to Li Chang. Although she was afraid, she wasn¡¯t stupid. She knew that she couldn¡¯t disturb this matter as it concerned the entire Xing Yuan store. Joris was frowning, not in a good mood, as she had just opened for business and had already encountered such a huge problem. She sat on the chair and opened the documents to read. They were all information about the store that Li Chang had collected. There wasn¡¯t much information, but it was still veryplete. When Li Chang saw that Qiao si si had already started to flip through it, he said in a timely manner,¡±¡±President Qiao, I¡¯ve done aprehensive investigation of that store. The type of jewelry in their store is somewhat simr to ours, but they¡¯ve made other changes in the details. People outside of the industry can¡¯t see anything. ¡± Li Chang¡¯s expression turned grave. This was the brilliance of this store. It imitated the VIP system, and the types of jewelry were simr, but the prices were lower. Customers nowadays were very concerned about the price of jewelry. Some families that were not so rich would definitely choose to buy jewelry from cheaper stores. In the long run, the customers of their store would definitely be snatched away by that store.??????? Not only in the future, but even now, he could see some clues. Today, the shop seemed very deserted. After Li Chang realized the severity of the matter, he immediately reported it to Joes.??? Without a perfect solution, the situation would continue to worsen, and the store¡¯s oue would be unpredictable.? Li Changqi paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±By the way, President Qiao, to be safe, I haven¡¯t been to this shop yet, but I asked the shop assistant to take a look. They said that the decorations are high-end, so I asked them to take a few photos. It¡¯s probably like this. ¡± Li Chang took out his phone and showed Jossi the photos in the photo album. ¡°Let me see.¡± Jossi took the phone from Li Chang and looked at the photo carefully. It was exactly as he had said. From a passerby¡¯s point of view, the decorations in this shop were more approachable and very attractive to customers. However, there were still some problems.

Joes put down her phone and fell into deep thought. She closed the document in front of her and returned the phone to Li Chang. At the same time, she said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve finished reading the contents of the document. It doesn¡¯t seem to have a shop as a background.¡± What Joes wanted to know was the person behind this shop. The reason for her actions was obvious. She was imitating the VIP system ... Using simr jewelry ... Everything that Z had done was proof that the person behind this was after Joss¡¯s shop. Such a person hiding his identity was the most terrifying. Upon hearing this, Li Chang shook his head and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, President Qiao. I haven¡¯t found anything yet, but I¡¯ll be quick.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t me you. ¡± Li Chang was not to be med for this matter, and Joes would not forcefully push the me onto him. At this moment, Lin ya couldn¡¯t stand it anymore andined softly,¡±¡±What kind of people are they? they¡¯ve gone too far.¡± What she said was actually what everyone was thinking. Joes just didn¡¯t say it, because it was useless no matter how much she retorted. The matter still had to be resolved. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s think about what to do about this matter.¡± Joes¡¯s words brought everyone back to reality. Lin ya pped her thigh with such force that li changsuo frowned as he nced at her. Fortunately, the two of them weren¡¯t together yet. Otherwise, Lin ya would have been lectured by what she did just now. ¡°Indeed, we need to think of something. We can¡¯t let that shop continue to be so arrogant. It¡¯s not a glorious thing to steal customers.¡± Lin ya pouted in disdain. Joes smiled and consoled him.¡±You¡¯re right. This isn¡¯t something that humans should do.¡± The few of them gathered together to think of a solution. In the end, they felt that they needed to find the right solution and figure out the store¡¯s way. ¡°Why don¡¯t we ... Pick a few people to go and take a look at the situation in that shop, so that we can make a decision after that?¡± Wang Li was the one who suggested this. It gained everyone¡¯s approval. Hearing it from someone else¡¯s mouth was not as real as seeing it with one¡¯s own eyes. ¡°That¡¯s right, I think this is a good suggestion. I¡¯m definitely going. It¡¯ll be good when the timees. I¡¯ll make a decision after seeing the situation over there. ¡± ¡°I want to go too.¡± Lin ya raised her hand and rmended herself. Initially, Joes did not want to agree. However, after seeing the anticipation in Lin Li¡¯s eyes, she agreed helplessly. ¡°Alright, then just the two of us will go.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Seeing that Joes had agreed, Lin ya was extremely excited. Only by going would she be able to find a way to vent her anger on that shop. Of course, Lin ya wasn¡¯t an idiot. She knew that this was a critical time for her store, and she had to be careful. She didn¡¯t n to make a big deal out of it, but it was good to find a way to make things ufortable. She hated this kind of ce that cheated people. ¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡± Joes snapped her fingers, then looked at Li Chang and Wang Li and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll leave the shop to you two for the time being. If anything happens, let me know immediately. Lin ya and I will go and take a look. We should be back soon. ¡± ¡°No problem,¡± he said. Wang Li nodded. Li Chang was the manager of this shop, so he naturally had no problem with it. After Lin ya and joesse gave their orders, they didn¡¯t waste any more time and quickly headed to the store not far away. Not far, it really wasn¡¯t far. Taking everything into ount, it was only a five-minute journey, and they would be there after turning a corner. Looking at the bustling crowd in the shop, Josse frowned, feeling a little unhappy. Inparison, it was definitely worse off than when the star Yuan shop first opened. It was just that the person behind the store had noticed this problem and deliberately reduced the price, which attracted so many customers to see the jewelry. ¡°It should be this shop ...¡± Lin ya looked up at the name of the store. It was blue sky Jewelry, and the decoration was pretty good. But now, he had to show that this shop was not good. She frowned and snorted,¡±¡±I thought this shop would be very powerful. It turns out that it¡¯s just so-so!¡± ¡°Alright, stop trying to belittle us. Let¡¯s go in and see what¡¯s going on.¡± Joes said helplessly. ¡°Alright, then.¡± The two of them walked in together. There were indeed many customers inside. Most of them were looking at the beautiful and exquisite jewelry in front of the counter. Compared to when the star Yuan shop had just opened, there were indeed more people paying. Why? This was because their prices were low. Cheap jewelry, even if the style was not as stunning and beautiful, could be worn for a long time if one gritted their teeth and bought a pair. Joes took a quick nce and quickly retracted her gaze. Many of the shop assistants in the store were busy. One of the shop assistants who had just sent off a customer saw the two of them and walked over reluctantly. ¡°My two guests, what would you like to see?¡± Joes also ran a jewelry store, so she was very concerned about the attitude of the shop assistant towards her customers. Now that he saw the shop assistant¡¯s slightly impatient tone, his good impression of this shop plummeted. ¡°Cough cough ...¡± Lin ya pretended to cough, trying to pull the saleswoman back from her thoughts, but she failed. She still had an ugly expression on her face. Forget it. Joes did not mind. She asked,¡±jewelry that costs between ten thousand to a hundred thousand dors. Can you take me there to have a look?¡± ¡°Ten thousand to a hundred thousand?¡± The sales assistant was stunned when she heard joesse¡¯s words, but she finally smiled and said,¡±¡±Then, pleasee with me.¡± ¡°Sisi.¡± Just as Joes was about to follow the shop assistant to take a look, Lin ya suddenly stopped in her tracks and tugged on Joes¡¯s sleeve. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±she asked, puzzled. Lin ya moved closer to her ear and whispered,¡±¡±Sisi, based on the current situation, let¡¯s split up and take a look. We¡¯ll meet again after we¡¯ve finished watching it. Otherwise, I think this is a little too slow. ¡± After hearing what she said, joesse felt that it was a feasible idea and nodded.¡±¡±That¡¯s a good idea. We¡¯ll do as you say. ¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The excited Lin ya skipped away, her back looking cheerful. Jossi nced at her and smiled before looking at the shop assistant.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go. My friend wants to look at other jewelry, so she won¡¯t being with me. ¡± ¡°Uh, okay.¡± Chapter 567

Chapter 567: The guest is unhappy

Trantor: 549690339

The shop assistant was a little stunned at first, but she quickly reacted and brought Jossi to see the piece of jewelry with the difference in price. Jossi stood in front of the ss cab and looked at it carefully. She was just short of using a magnifying ss to observe it. She could tell that the quality of these jewelries was still a little inferior to those in Xing Yuan store. Otherwise, they would not have set the price so low. If it was made of the same material and the price was so low, the shop would lose so much that they wouldn¡¯t even have their underpants. ¡°In this case, we can make an issue out of the material. We can¡¯t let go of the vip system either.¡± Joes deliberated for a while and quickly made a decision. However, this matter still needed to be discussed slowly. She had only just found a breakthrough. ¡°Customer, which one do you like?¡± The sales assistant was a little unhappy with Jossi¡¯s behavior of not buying a single item after looking at it for so long, but she could not show it. This was because they could also get a Commission if the customers bought more expensive jewelry. However, Joes had been here for so long and had no intention of buying any jewelry. The shop assistant even wanted to run off to look after the other customers. She had thought that she would be a good customer, and that she would be able to get a lot of Commission from jewelry that was between ten thousand to a hundred thousand. Now it seemed that she had thought too much. Sensing the shop assistant¡¯s impatience, Joes frowned slightly and said to her,¡±¡±As a sales assistant, you shouldn¡¯t be getting impatient when the customers are looking at the jewelry.¡± ¡°You ...¡± The saleswoman¡¯s face turned as dark as a pig¡¯s liver when she was suddenly rebuked by Joes. Jossi did not care about her emotions. Although she hade to look at the jewelry to gather information, she really felt that she was not worthy of being a sales assistant. He didn¡¯t even have the most basic professional ethics. As a customer, the basic responsibility of a shop assistant was to introduce the jewelry to her and then make suitable rmendations. However, ever since joesse came to look at the jewelry, she did not hear the shop assistant say a single word. It had only been a few minutes and this person was already impatient. ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. Go and look for someone else.¡± Joes¡¯s voice was cold. The more she acted like this, the more embarrassed the shop assistant was. She was still working in the store, so she couldn¡¯t argue with the customers directly. Otherwise, she would probably be fired.? In the end, the shop assistant could only sneer angrily and say,¡±¡±Alright, if you¡¯re more powerful, then you can see for yourself!¡± After she finished speaking, she prepared to leave. However, Jossi did not even look at her, as if she hadpletely ignored her existence. The shop assistant was furious. He wanted to go back and scold Joes, but when he saw the person standing next to her, hepletely dispelled that thought. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you getting lost?¡± That person gave a signal with his eyes, and the sales assistant was so scared that she started to shiver. She immediately turned around and started to run away, without even stopping. On the other hand, Joes had yet to discover this person¡¯s existence. She was still observing the jewelry very seriously and attentively. At the same time, she was thinking about how to deal with this shop. He had to think of a good way to find this shop and the sinister person behind it! ¡°Ahem.¡± At this moment, a cough was heard. Joes furrowed her brows slightly and snapped back to her senses. She subconsciously looked to the side and saw a man in a suit. He looked to be about 30 years old. Whether it was his appearance or the way he dressed, he looked very elegant. He also had the maturity and steadiness that a person of his age should have. Jossi only took a casual nce at these aspects, but her main focus was still on the brand on the man¡¯s chest. The words ¡°the store manager mocked Yuan Jingfeng¡± were written on it. Why did the manager of this store suddenlye to her ce? Many doubts rose in Joes ¡®heart. The greatest possibility was that she had already been exposed, which was why they hade to her. But so what if she was exposed? she was only looking at the jewelry and did not do anything else. ¡°Hello, customer.¡± Upon hearing Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s lowered voice, joesse felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of her heart. She took a step back and said,¡±¡±Is there something you need from me?¡± Hearing that, Yuan Jingfeng smiled. His smile attracted many of the women in the store who were looking at jewelry. They all secretly watched the interaction between the two of them. From time to time, there would be whispers. ¡°Wow, this man is so handsome. He must be the manager of this shop, right?¡± One of the girls had stars in her eyes. ¡°Yes, I know that too. I noticed it on the first day of the store¡¯s opening. This man is so handsome and mature!¡± Nowadays, many youngdies liked mature uncles, so many customers in the shop were here to see Yuan Jingfeng. There were also a few mutants among them. A girl pouted.¡±I heard about this Yuan Jingfeng. That¡¯s why I came to this shop. Now, I¡¯m a little disappointed.¡± ¡°I also think so!¡± ¡°The manager of the other star Yuan shop is called Li Chang. He¡¯s really handsome. He has a face that can make people lose control of themselves.¡± ¡°I also think that li is handsome. It¡¯s just a matter of aesthetic appreciation.¡± In the crowd, Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but agree with them when she heard their words. Li Chang was indeed handsome, but she had a mission toplete, so she couldn¡¯t go and see what Yuan Jingfeng looked like. After he finished looking at the jewelry here, he would go and take a look again if he had the time. At that moment, Lin ya had no idea that Yuan Jingfeng, who had caused such amotion, was actually at joesse¡¯s ce. Otherwise, she would have gone there directly. Wasn¡¯t the store manager¡¯s intention clear enough for him to look for joesse? On the other side. Yuan Jingfeng did not seem to notice the whispers in the crowd. He smiled very elegantly and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s just that one of the customers in our store seems to be unhappy because of the employee.¡± The person he was talking about was the impatient saleswoman. Jossi raised her brows, wanting to see what this man was going to do next. She said,¡±¡±It¡¯s your shop assistant who has a bad attitude. What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°I want to apologize to the guest.¡± Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s voice was very gentle. If they were not in his shop, joesse would not want to have any dealings with Yuan Jingfeng. Others might think that he was mature, steady, and gentle, but joesse felt that he was a little too greasy. Moreover, Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s looks were nothingpared to handsome men like Zheng Zeyi and Chen zuolin. Chapter 568

Chapter 568: You really don¡¯t want the jewelry

Trantor: 549690339

Yuan Jingfeng did not know what Qiao sisi was thinking about. He only saw her slightly looking away and thought that she was afraid to meet his eyes. All of a sudden, he was determined to get it. He smiled again and bowed,¡±we¡¯ll be fully responsible for anything that happens to you in the shop.¡± I¡¯m also very sorry for what happened this time, so I¡¯vee here to apologize. I hope you can understand. If you like these jewelries, I can also choose one of them for you. I hope you won¡¯t refuse. ¡± Yuan Jingfeng was very magnanimous and immediately expressed that he wanted to give a set of jewelry to Qiao si si. The onlookers were all stunned. Such expensive jewelry and the store manager gave it away just like that. He was too rich! Even joesse herself was a little surprised. She looked at the price of the jewelry. The price difference was between 10000 to 100000. It was not expensive, but it was not cheap either. Just from Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s promise to give her jewelry, Qiao si felt that something was amiss. She didn¡¯t suffer any losses for no reason, but the attitude of the sales assistant was a little bad. This was not enough to warrantpensation, but Yuan Jingfeng said he wantedpensation. Wasn¡¯t this strange? Joes thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.¡±Manager, there¡¯s no need forpensation. You¡¯re too polite. It¡¯s not a big deal. You just need to discipline your employees in the future. ¡± At the end of her sentence, Joes smiled. Not only did she reject Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s offer to give her the jewelry, but she also mocked him for being Joes. Instantly, Yuan Jingfeng felt a little awkward. However, he was still rather thick-skinned and quickly recovered. He looked at Joris with an indecipherable expression,¡±¡±It¡¯s not that I¡¯m being polite, but it¡¯s our shop¡¯s fault that you¡¯re in a bad mood. Therefore, thepensation is just a small token of our shop¡¯s appreciation to you. I hope you won¡¯t refuse. ¡± He kept calling her ¡®customer¡¯. If not for his strange tone and the fact that he was acting a little strange, Joes would have believed that he was a good and loyal manager. There were problems in every aspect of this shop! However, only Joes and Lin ya would think so. The others would not think that there was anything wrong with this. When the crowd heard Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s words, there was amotion. They all had a good impression of Yuan Jingfeng. ¡°It¡¯s just that the shop assistant offended the customer, and they have topensate a piece of jewelry. This shop is not bad?¡± ¡°However, the sales assistant who offended the customer will probably be fired soon. She will definitely cause more trouble if she stays.¡± ¡°Who knows? this kind of thing still depends on how the people in the shop solve it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. ¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The crowd chattered and the discussion was very heated, as if this was a grand debate. Joes controlled her urge to roll her eyes. She was now certain that this manager, Yuan Jingfeng, knew her true identity. Otherwise, they would not have given each other a set of jewelry for such a small conflict. No matter how rich the person behind the store was, he couldn¡¯t afford to distribute money like this, right? It was like giving away money. That was the only possibility left. Joes was not too worried about it, as she had already prepared herself to ept it before she came to this shop. No matter what, he was the CEO of Xing Yuan design and the manager of Xing Yuan store, so it wasn¡¯t unusual for people to know him. The problem was, did Yuan Jingfeng hear about this himself or did someone tell him that Jossi would definitelye to this shop? There were still many truths hidden behind this matter. ¡°Since you want topensate me so much, then I won¡¯t be polite with you. This set ... How about you give it to me?¡± Joes pointed at a piece of jewelry on the counter. The style of this piece of jewelry was a little familiar. The price wasn¡¯t too expensive, only a few thousand Yuan. It wasn¡¯t within the range of the previous price difference. Yuan Jingfeng was stunned for a while when he saw that Qiao sisi had suddenly agreed and picked another piece of jewelry. He quickly smiled and nodded.¡±¡±Alright, then I¡¯ll do as you¡¯ve requested. I¡¯ll take out this jewelry and give it to you now.¡± With that, Yuan Jingfeng walked to the ss cab and took out the key from his pocket, ready to retrieve the jewelry. However, the next moment, someone suddenly stopped him. ¡°Wait,¡± The one who spoke was Joes. She looked at Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s actions and the corners of her lips curled up.¡±¡±I was just testing the waters. It seems like you¡¯re really going to give it to me. Is it really appropriate for such a small matter?¡± Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s hand paused. He didn¡¯t choose to answer directly, but remained silent for a while. Joes did not stop there and continued,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate, and I don¡¯t really want it. Manager, you should keep it. The saleswoman¡¯s attitude wasn¡¯t good, but it wasn¡¯t to the point where she had to lose money. This kind of thing could be solved with an apology. ¡± Apologize? Quite a few people present were surprised. They did not expect joesse to not want any valuable jewelry and only wanted an apology. In their eyes, this method was particrly stupid. Many people felt that if they were in her shoes, they would definitely choose jewelry. It was precisely because she could not do it herself that many people especially admired Joes and felt that she was a very principled person.??? Just as the crowd was about to stir again, Yuan Jingfeng furrowed his brows slightly before rxing them. He pretended not to understand and said,¡±¡±Customer, what you mean ... I don¡¯t quite understand.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Joes was not surprised and continued,¡±¡±What I mean is that I don¡¯t need anypensation. I just need an apology.¡± She wasn¡¯t stupid. If she took their jewelry, it would mean that she had taken advantage of them. Xing Yuan¡¯s shop had plenty of jewelry and Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s jewelry was notcking either. Instead of giving them a handle, he might as well push them away. This was what joesse was thinking. ¡°Dear Customer, you really don¡¯t want the jewelry?¡± Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s smile was a little stiff. ¡°I think I¡¯ve made myself very clear. I just want an apology.¡± Joes was all smiles, and one could not tell that she was angry at all. Since she had already said so, Yuan Jingfeng could not force her to give him the jewelry. He could only nod and agree,¡±¡±Since you¡¯ve said so, we have no reason to refuse.¡± Yuan Jingfeng turned around and quickly brought the impatient saleswoman over so that everyone could focus on her. At this moment, she was a little nervous, and her body was trembling in fear. Chapter 569

The impatience from not getting a Commission had disappeared. Under such a big crowd, the saleswoman¡¯s heart was only left with fear. If she had known that the situation would turn out like this, she would not have been so impatient with Joes from the start, which led to her being caught and facing the greatest danger now. Now that the manager was here, he was afraid that he could not keep his job. The shop assistant was very scared, but he knew that there was no way to turn things around. If he apologized and had a sincere attitude, he might have a chance to stay. He had to keep this job! With this thought in mind, the shop assistant took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, customer. It was my attitude that ruined your good mood. I¡¯m very sorry.¡± After she said that, she bowed deeply to express her apology. The salesperson¡¯s attitude was rather sincere. Although he didn¡¯t know if something simr would happen to her in the future, this was enough for now. It was not a big deal anyway. Joes nced at him and waved her hand, saying,¡±¡±I¡¯ll let it go this time. Next time, you must remember to have a proper attitude. Since he had entered this industry and had done this, he had to do it well. I hope you can understand what I¡¯m saying. I don¡¯t have any other meaning. ¡± Joes¡¯s smile was warm. The impatient saleswoman was stunned for a moment. She nodded and apologized.¡±Thank you, customer. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± Joes shook her head slightly. This scene fell into Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s eyes, causing his eyes to darken, but he did not show it. He smiled and said,¡±you¡¯re really generous. You didn¡¯t pursue the responsibility of our store. This is a favor.¡± Please ept this as a small token of my appreciation. ¡± With that, Yuan Jingfeng took out a bangle from the ss cab. The pattern on the bangle was very beautiful. The only problem should be the material. A bracelet made of this material would cost at most 1000 Yuan. The design was rtively new. With just one look, joesse could almost guess what was going on with the bracelet. What she did not understand was why Yuan Jingfeng kept giving her jewelry. Even though she had rejected him before, he still didn¡¯t give up on the idea after the shop assistant apologized. Could it be ... That there was a problem with the jewelry? This was very likely. Joes quickly thought of the key point and decided to take the bangle down to take a look. After all, there was no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. However, she definitely wouldn¡¯t take it for free. Before she could figure out Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s intentions, she had to maintain a safe and unfamiliar distance. This way, the problem with the store would not involve personal issues. ¡°I can ept the bracelet.¡± Joes suddenly agreed. Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s pupils shrank and joy shed in his eyes, but he concealed it very well and did not show it at all. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jossi.? ¡°But I¡¯m not taking this bangle for free. I can buy it with my own money because I think it¡¯s not bad and I quite like it.¡± Joes revealed a faint smile. This? At first, Yuan Jingfeng was feeling a little happy, but at this moment, his emotions disappeared, and the expression on his face became more and more stiff. ¡°This woman is much smarter than I thought!¡± Yuan Jingfeng was filled with hatred in his heart. He gave Qiao si a strange look, but quickly retracted his gaze when no one was looking at him. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then please go to the counter to pay.¡± Yuan Jingfeng said, pretending to be refined. He was as gentle as Jade, causing many young girls to cheer. However, Qiao sisi did not think that his appearance was above average. In terms of gentleness, she had never seen a man who could do it more thoroughly than ye chen. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After agreeing, joesse followed Yuan Jingfeng to the counter to settle the bill. Lin ya was almost done with her observation, and she came to the counter with a cheap trinket. Lin ya froze for a moment when she saw Jossi and the bangle in front of her. She quickly walked over and said,¡±¡±Sisi, so you¡¯ve already recovered.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve just recovered.¡± Hearing this, Lin ya smiled and waved the small ring in her hand.¡±¡±I¡¯m going to buy this. ¡± Joes¡¯s gaze fell on that item. The design of the ring was quite unique, and Lin ya had her reasons for choosing it. The small ring imitated a design that was previously exposed in Xing Yuan¡¯s shop. It had to be said that the giarism was very sessful. Although some parts had been modified, he could still see the prototype of the design. As for why Lin ya wanted to buy the ring, she didn¡¯t know. It wasn¡¯t a good time to ask now, so she¡¯d better wait until they got back to her shop. ¡°Let¡¯s pay together. ¡± Joes took the little ring from Lin ya¡¯s hand and flipped it over to the counter. Yuan Jingfeng looked at the two people in front of him and couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows. He didn¡¯t say anything and settled the bill for the two items. ¡°Di.¡± Theputer beeped. Yuan Jingfeng took a look and said,¡±¡±Two customers, the total is 1500 Yuan.¡± The small ring that Lin ya picked was worth around 500 yuan, which was rtively cheap. ¡°I¡¯ll pay by card. ¡± Yuan Jingfeng took the bank card from Qiao si si and ced it on the card machine. However, it showed that there was something wrong with the card. He didn¡¯t seem to have expected this situation either, and his eyes were filled with surprise. He refreshed the page again, and the same question was asked again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there might be a problem with our card-swiping machine. We need to deal with it. I¡¯m really sorry, two guests.¡± Yuan Jingfeng said apologetically. Joes looked at the error message on the card machine and shook her head.¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s wait for a while. ¡± ¡°Thank you for your understanding.¡± After that, Yuan Jingfeng found a professional technician to repair the card-swiping machine. After a long time, the repairman finally said,¡±¡±Manager, there¡¯s an internal problem with this card-swiping machine. It¡¯ll take some time to fix it. It might only be done tomorrow.¡± ¡°Tomorrow?¡± Yuan Jingfeng furrowed his brows and put on a very good expression of surprise. He seemed to be thinking about something. Very quickly, Yuan Jingfeng made his decision,¡±¡±Then take the card-swiping machine for repair first. I¡¯ll think of another way after paying the bill.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The technician took away the card-swiping machine, leaving only aputer that could collect cash. As for the QR code payment, Yuan Jingfeng had never thought that what had happened was actually premeditated. In order for the n to proceed smoothly. Chapter 570

Yuan Jingfeng sighed and walked to the counter. He said to Qiao si and Qiao si,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, two guests. There¡¯s a problem with our card-swiping machine. This is your bank card, please take it. ¡± Joes took the bank card. There were so many tricks up this shop¡¯s sleeve, and she felt that every single one of them was a conspiracy. However, there was no evidence, and some things were not easy to confirm. He still needed to look again to find clues. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Then ... We won¡¯t buy it?¡± Qiao SI¡¯s words were directed at Lin ya, and it was also to provoke Yuan Jingfeng to reveal his true motive. The broken credit card machine was definitely not as simple as it seemed. ¡°Then I won¡¯t buy it.¡± Lin ya understood what Qiao sisi meant and quickly agreed. She was about to take the ring and put it back when Yuan Jingfeng stopped her with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my two customers. This card-swiping machine is broken, but there are other ways even if you don¡¯t pay in cash. Please add my WeChat. ¡± Yuan Jingfengughed. WeChat? The corner of Joes ¡®mouth twitched. She finally knew why the credit card machine was broken. However, Yuan Jingfeng didn¡¯t have any intention of liking her, so it could only be the intention of the person behind this shop. Adding each other on WeChat, giving them jewelry ... Besides, there might be something else in the jewelry, such as a GPS device, which was why Yuan Jingfeng was so eager to give it to her. Did that mean that the person behind this wanted toy his hands on Xing Yuan store and even her? Many thoughts shed through Joes ¡®mind. There was no evidence now, but she felt that this was the most likely possibility. Do you want to add me on WeChat? Joesse saw Yuan Jingfeng take out her phone and immediately made a decision. It was just adding her on WeChat, what could he do? She might as well see what Yuan Jingfeng was nning. ¡°Then let¡¯s add each other on WeChat.¡± Just as Joes was about to reach for her phone, Lin ya hurriedly said,¡±¡±Sisi, why don¡¯t you use mine? I remember that you don¡¯t have much money left in your WeChat ount.¡± Her hand paused. She looked at Lin ya with a smile in her eyes. She knew that Lin ya only said that because she didn¡¯t want her to be in danger. Wasn¡¯t this shop the biggest danger? ¡°It¡¯s fine, just use mine. I just put some money in it yesterday, so it should be able tost for a while.¡± Joes pretended as if nothing had happened. In private, he gave Lin ya an ¡®ok¡¯ sign, telling her not to worry. After joesse scanned Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s QR code, the two of them added each other on WeChat and had their contact details. She quickly transferred 1500 Yuan to Yuan Jingfeng. After Yuan Jingfeng epted the money, she said,¡±¡±Since we¡¯ve already paid, we¡¯ll take our leave.¡± ¡°Take care, my two guests.¡± Yuan Jingfeng had already achieved his goal, so there was no need for him to keep the two of them. There were some things that, if done or said too much, could arouse the other party¡¯s suspicion. However, what he did not know was that before he came to this shop, Joes had already been on her guard. Furthermore, no one trusted his words and actions. After greeting each other, Joes and Lin ya left the shop together. Many people at the back heard that the payment method was to add each other on WeChat and they all picked out the cheapest jewelry to pay Yuan Jingfeng at the front desk. After all, he wasn¡¯t ugly, and he had a more refined personality, so he had a group of fangirls. In this short period of time, Yuan Jingfeng had added many people on WeChat, if he had not set a note in the beginning. He almost could not find Joes ¡®WeChat. He looked at the WeChat ount on his phone and smiled. Now that he had the WeChat and the jewelry, he could finally carry out the first step of his n. ¡­¡­¡­ At the same time. Jossi and Lin ya walked on the streets together, ncing at the various bright and beautiful shops around them from time to time. There was an octopus Meatball Shop not far ahead, and the fragrance could be smelled from far away. Lin ya swallowed her saliva and temporarily suppressed her desire to eat. She brought up the important matter and said,¡±¡±By the way, sisi, were you the one who had a dispute with the store manager in that store just now?¡± Upon hearing that, Joes nodded slightly. ¡°It wasn¡¯t really a dispute. There was just a little friction with the shop assistant at the beginning. Then, the store manager came for no reason. He must have found out our true identity.¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± Lin ya cursed as she turned around and red at the shop. She knew that man was not a good person! Now, it seemed that this idea was indeed correct. After some thought, Lin ya decided to exin,¡±¡±Sisi, the real reason I bought these pieces of jewelry is that they copied my design. I think this can be used as evidence to suppress this store. Since this store likes to giarize so much, let¡¯s just let them be exposed on the inte under such a name!¡± Even if he changed the details of the jewelry, it would not change the fact that he had giarized. Lin ya hated people like him the most. They had the ability to find other designers, but they chose to giarize. How could such an action not be spurned by others? After hearing Lin ya¡¯s words, Joes felt that she agreed with her and voiced her thoughts. ¡°I suspect that there¡¯s something in the jewelry he¡¯s selling me, but for now, it¡¯s just a guess. After all, I chose the jewelry myself.¡± Joes guessed. Even though she had chosen such a piece of jewelry, the store manager still felt happy. There was a big problem! He still needed to return to the shop and discuss with Wang Li and the others to find out which part of the process went wrong. ¡°Sisi,¡± Lin ya frowned.¡±If that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ll have to find a professional to examine the jewelry. We can¡¯t just keep it on our bodies.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Joesse¡¯s smile brightened at Lin ya¡¯s concern. ¡°But if that¡¯s the case, it seems like we¡¯ve also helped their store increase their business revenue by quite a bit.¡± Lin ya¡¯s face looked a little dejected at the mention of this. There weren¡¯t many people in their own shop, but they had to spend 1500 Yuan in another shop. Joes saw that Lin ya was in low spirits and patted her on the shoulder, organizing her words offort.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine. This kind of giarizing shop won¡¯t exist for long. ¡± ¡°Sigh, I hope what you said wille true, sisi. I don¡¯t want to continue like this.¡± Lin ya nodded slightly, and her expression eased a little. Chapter 571

This matter was not entirely based on joesse¡¯s own imagination. There was an old saying,¡±the heavens will see what a man does.¡± If the other party had really chosen to giarize, no matter how careful and secretive it was, there would always be traces left behind in some ces. There were still many reasonable people who would not be unable to discover this. Even if this shop had made some changes, it could not cover up the fact that it had giarized. With Joes around, there was no possibility of it continuing to develop. She would find out who the person behind this was sooner orter! Lin ya passed the ring in her hand to Jossi and said,¡±¡±Sisi, I¡¯ll leave this ring with you for now. I¡¯ll do a jewelry inspection document when I go backter and write it in detail. If we analyze the style and material, we should be able to find that this ispletely giarized, with only a little modification. ¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll keep it first.¡± Joes kept the two pieces of jewelry into her pocket and the two of them walked towards the star dor shop. When she passed by the octopus Meatball Shop, Lin ya still stopped in her tracks. She blinked her eyes and asked with an embarrassed smile,¡±¡±Sisi, I see that this octopus Meatball Shop is newly opened. How about we try the taste? Li Li also likes to eat octopus balls. Let¡¯s bring some back for them. ¡± Lin ya¡¯s eyes were filled with pitifulness. Looking at his gaze, Jossi could not reject him and smiled helplessly.¡±¡±Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you here. If you want to buy it, then go ahead.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! I love you!¡± Lin ya almost kissed Joes¡¯s face before hopping off to the octopus meatball store to buy some. Joes watched as Lin ya left, and the smile on her face widened. If everyone was like Lin ya, there wouldn¡¯t be so many giarism incidents. However, everyone¡¯s personality was different, and the way they got along was also different. Some people always felt that what they were doing was right, while others felt that they would do anything for money. There was nothing Jossi could do to change this phenomenon. However, within her capabilities, she hoped that her employees would not do so. ¡­¡­¡­ It was ten minutester when she bought the octopus balls. Because of its bustling location and the good taste, there were many people who came to buy it every day. Lin ya had also just bought the octopus meatball after a long queue, and it took her a little time to make it. ¡°Sisi!¡± Lin ya waved her hand, holding a big bag in her hand. There were several boxes of octopus meatballs in it, and they were still emitting fragrance. Joes could not help but click her tongue at this sight. ¡°Xiao Ya, how many boxes of octopus meatballs did you buy?¡± she asked after looking away. Lin ya looked at her bag and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not much, I only bought 10 boxes. ¡± There were about seven or eight in a box. If multiplied by ten times ... That meant she had bought 70 or 80 octopus meatballs. Joes¡¯s mouth twitched. Indeed, the nature of a foodie could not be changed. She could not help but want to buy food the moment she saw it. The key was that Lin ya didn¡¯t mean what she said. She was the one who wanted to buy the food, but she insisted on bringing Wang Li along. ¡°I¡¯m done with the shopping. Let¡¯s go back now. ¡± Lin ya wasn¡¯t in a hurry to eat the octopus meatball. She was going to enjoy it with her good friends in the office when she returned to the store. It would be too boring if he ate this kind of delicious food alone. Star Yuan shop. The two of them walked and soon arrived at the shop. There were more customers in the shop than in the morning. Some people didn¡¯t like the jewelry in that shop, so they returned to the star Yuan shop. Those who knew a little about the jewelry industry should be able to see some inside information. Joes took a nce at the rather decent shop and smiled as she retracted her gaze. She said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go to the office and take a look. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. In the office, Wang Li was the only one busy with the documents. Because there were many guests, Li Chang went outside to help temporarily. The things that Joes had asked them to do were almost all settled. ¡°You two are back.¡± When Wang Li saw the person who hade, she temporarily put the pen in her hand on the table. Lin ya nodded and put the meatball aside as she said,¡±¡±Yes, we just went to see the shop. You don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on inside!¡± Lin ya got excited again at the mention of the store. Joes patted Lin ya¡¯s shoulder, signaling for her to calm down.¡±¡±We¡¯ll talk about thister. Call Li Chang in first and we¡¯ll discuss it. ¡± ¡°...Yes!¡± Lin ya didn¡¯t react at first, but when she heard her idol¡¯s name, she immediately smiled. She ran out of the office in a hurry without any pause. That anxious look almost made Joes roll her eyes uncontrobly. It was another mouthful of dog food. When Lin ya brought Li Chang back, the group finally started to discuss the matter. ¡°Manager, how¡¯s the situation over there?¡± Hearing Li Chang¡¯s question, Jossi took out the two pieces of jewelry from her pocket and said,¡±¡±Speaking of which, they didn¡¯t do it very discreetly.¡± ¡°You can see the two pieces of jewelry that Xiao Ya and I brought back, but this bracelet of mine is not an imitation. However, that ring copied Xiao Ya¡¯s idea. Other than making some changes to the details, there¡¯s no difference at all. ¡± As soon as Joes finished speaking, Lin ya took out her phone, which still had the initial design drawings. Previously, it was only because the phone had arge memory and she was toozy to delete it. She didn¡¯t expect that it would be the best evidence to prove that they had giarized. Lin ya zoomed in on the photo and ced it next to the ring. The difference between the two was obvious. Lin ya¡¯s jewelry design was more flexible, and it had a fairy-like and Noble feeling. As for the replica, it didn¡¯t have such a good effect, and the material chosen wasn¡¯t of the best quality. If the material was really good, it wouldn¡¯t have been sold for 500 yuan. ¡°I¡¯m really convinced. Not only did this shop giarize my design, but they also made my jewelry look like this. They really look down on me.¡± Lin ya was a little angry. None of her jewelry in Xing Yuan store was below 10000 Yuan. She was not a chief designer for nothing. It¡¯s only worth 500 yuan in another shop? Chapter 572

Chapter 572: His news

Trantor: 549690339

If this anger were to fall on Wang Li¡¯s head, she would probably not be able to take it. It was an obvious insult to a designer. ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t be angry. Their shop isn¡¯t a good thing to begin with. It¡¯s not worth it to be angry at yourself because of them. You have to think of it this way, right?¡± Wang Li tried to persuade him. Joes had the same thought. She nced at Wang Li and consoled Lin ya. Li Chang, who had been standing next to Lin ya, also took a deep look at the jewelry she designed with a smile in his eyes.¡±¡±Your design is really beautiful.¡± Lin ya¡¯s depressed and angry mood turned into joy with a shortpliment. The person she liked had actually praised her, so of course she was happy. ¡°Thank you ...¡± Lin ya said shyly. She seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, so she added,¡±¡±Actually, there are still some ws in my design. It¡¯s just that their imitation is worse.¡± The sudden humility made Joes and Wang Lipletely helpless. After a small interlude, they went straight to the main topic. After exining what had happened at the shop, Joes even told them about the broken credit card machine. With so many coincidences linked together, any normal person would know that something was wrong. ¡°If the store manager didn¡¯t add sisi on WeChat because he¡¯s interested in her, then there must be some other secret.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Listening to their conversation, Jossi nodded her head as if she had suddenly recalled something. ¡°By the way, we have to contact the technical staff. I need to check if there¡¯s anything else in this jewelry.¡± Joes ced great importance on this matter. If there was really something else, their current whereabouts should be in the other party¡¯s grasp. Such a dangerous thing had to be found out as soon as possible. ¡°President Qiao, I just happen to have a technician who can detect it,¡± li Changmao rmended himself. I¡¯ll contact him now and ask him to bring the testing equipment to the store. ¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have to trouble you with this matter.¡± Joes said. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, President Qiao. ¡± When Li Chang went to contact the technical staff, the others were not idle either. They were all looking for information about that store. Joes could not find anything on the inte, but she did see some discussions about the jewelry shop on the forum. The OP¡¯s name was the inte name of the public. In the beginning, they were not discussing the store, but the manager, Yuan Jingfeng. After his uncle-like temperament was targeted by these little girls, he became the main character of this forum. ¡°Sigh, why don¡¯t you talk about something serious?¡± Joesse was starting to get anxious. She flipped through the pages, but they were all about Yuan Jingfeng. Most importantly, they were all useless. This made Joes, who wanted to see some practical information, very anxious. After searching for a long time, she finally found some useful information. Thisizen seemed to have heard of something and said,¡±¡±This Yuan Jingfeng is really something. I remember that he came back from studying abroad, right?¡± Studying abroad ... Looking at these two words, Joes squinted her eyes slightly. Just this message alone could be said to be useful. Joes did not hesitate and continued reading. ¡°I¡¯ve also heard that when he was abroad, he seemed to be a Senior manager of apany with a high sry. Why is he back to open a jewelry store now? I really don¡¯t understand. His sry isn¡¯t even as high as before, right?¡± ¡°Who knows what these important people are thinking? We can¡¯tpare to those important figures. ¡± Manyizens were ridiculing this matter. Someone even sat next to theputer andined,¡±¡±Maybe he just wants toe back to China to experience life.¡± After reading these few sentences, Joes did not stop. Instead, she continued to use her mouse to scroll through the page. Many thoughts emerged in his mind. Yuan Jingfeng came from overseas and held such a high position. Why did he go through so much trouble toe back to China? Then, what was the situation with thepany he was working for? All these doubts had to be solved. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t know what the truth was. The problem was with the manager. Joes had added him as a friend, which was also a more convenient way to get close to him. If he had the time, he could try to find out. Actually, there was one thing that she didn¡¯t say out loud. When she added Yuan Jingfeng, she had a little scheme. He didn¡¯t use his main ount, but his small one. In that case, she could avoid any trouble. Not just anyone could add her on WeChat, especially people with bad intentions. ¡°Sisi, how¡¯s your reading?¡± Suddenly, Lin ya came over. The documents on her side were almost done, and she had found many differences and evidence of imitation. An imitation was bound to be recognized. She only needed to find the difference in the material of the two, and she would be able to tell that his was a low-quality imitation. Upon hearing Lin ya¡¯s voice, Joes pointed at theputer screen and said,¡±¡±There isn¡¯t any information about theirpany on the inte, and there isn¡¯t much information about the store manager. I¡¯ve been searching through all the major forums, and fortunately, I found a good one where many people seem to know about him. ¡± ¡°Really?¡± Lin ya was a little surprised and quickly looked at theputer. Joes also took the opportunity to scroll down thements of those people, looking for useful information. A few minutester. After the two of them had reached a few hundred floors, they finally found something useful, and it was not much. ¡°Sisi, stop!¡± When Lin ya called for her to stop, Qiao si happened to see thosements and released her grip on the mouse. These fewments obviously knew more about the situation, as if they were chatting on a forum. The firstizen: ¡°I remember that after he worked overseas for a period of time, he seemed to have moved to a biggerpany. ¡°I also know that!¡± The secondizen also knew a lot more.¡±Thatpany ... Seems to be one of thergest foreignpanies. They shouldn¡¯t havee to China to open a shop for no reason. I just don¡¯t know what the real reason is. Maybe it¡¯s rted to thepany he¡¯s working at overseas. ¡± Although thisizen guessed it, it was not a baseless guess. No one would give up a good job ande back unless there was some other reason. A thirdizen: ¡°and I also heard from the grapevine that this person opened a shop as soon as he came back. This speed is so fast that it¡¯s shocking. It¡¯s not easy for ordinary people to open a shop, but it¡¯s so easy for him.¡± Chapter 573

Chapter 573: We will not lose

Trantor: 549690339

Thisizen¡¯s tone was rather emotional. What he said was true. Not everyone could open a shop just because they wanted to, and they would definitely face many difficulties in the process. However, Yuan Jingfeng was different. He joined this shop as soon as he came back, as if he had already made ns for this. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy to open a shop, and there would be a lot of preparation process. Sisi, look here, there must be a problem!¡± When Lin ya saw thisment, she suddenly became excited. Joes did not rush to interrupt her. Instead, she nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright, then tell me what the problem is.¡± ¡°Even if Yuan Jingfeng is working overseas, it¡¯s impossible for him to have so much savings to open a shop the moment he returns. Unless he has someone supporting him from behind!¡± Lin ya was very sure that her guess was correct. Actually, he was not the only one. Even Joes felt the same way. There were too many suspicious points in this. ¡°You¡¯re right, but we don¡¯t have any evidence. With this information, we can¡¯t find the person behind this. ¡± Joes frowned. ¡°This ...¡± Lin ya had wanted to say something, but she fell silent after hearing this question. She wanted to help, but she wasn¡¯t a detective, and she couldn¡¯t find out who was behind it. She could only guess based on these clues. If a detective were to investigate, the results might be different. That was what she thought, and that was what she said,¡±¡±Sisi, I think you can find that detective for help. He might have a better idea.¡± Mr. Detective? Detective Wen! In that instant, Joes recalled the person she had almost forgotten. Detective Wen should be very good at this kind of thing. She and Lin ya had been struggling here for so long, but it might not be as fast as the results of the investigation. Sigh, miscalcted! Joes smacked her head. For the first time, she felt that she had made a stupid mistake. Just as she was about to pick up her phone and call the detective, there was a sudden knock on the office door. ¡°Come in.¡± Li Chang opened the door when he heard Joes¡¯s voice. Behind him was a technical staff in white. It seemed that he had indeed found someone and coulde over to check if there was anything hidden in the jewelry. ¡°President Qiao, I¡¯ve brought the person here.¡± Li Chang said. The technician¡¯s expression was also respectful. It was obvious that he had heard of Joes¡¯s great name before. He said,¡±¡±Hello, President Qiao.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite,¡± After joesse finished speaking, she told Lin ya and Wang Li to put down their work ande over to see the results. The final scene was a group of people surrounding a table, while the technical staff examined the jewelry with an instrument. After he put the jewelry in, the device made a beeping sound. He operated for a while before it finally stopped. ¡°What¡¯s the result?¡± Jossi frowned. She did not have a good feeling about this. She felt that what she thought was the truth. As expected, the technician shook his head. ¡°President Qiao, there¡¯s really a tracking device installed in this jewelry. This tracking device is extremely urate. It can get an approximate location even if you¡¯re overseas.¡± The technician turned on the machine and took out the jewelry.¡±¡±This should be thetest technology from overseas. Although there are simr ones in China, there are still some differences. I saw it from the chip inside his body. It¡¯s this thing. President Qiao, you can check it. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes took the chip and checked it. She confirmed that it was a high-tech product and a tracking device. ¡°This thing ... Is it still activated?¡± The technician shook his head and said,¡±¡±The device I brought has a disruptive effect, so this tracker can¡¯t urately locate us now.¡± Joes¡¯s worry was that if they were to use real-time positioning, their whereabouts would probably be within her grasp. Besides, there might be people waiting for him in the shop. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then.¡± Jossi pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind and expressed her gratitude to the technician. ¡°I¡¯m fine. ¡± He shook his head and adjusted the device in front of him. Li Chang added,¡±¡±President Qiao, do you need anti-surveince technology?¡± ¡°Anti-reconnaissance?¡± Jossi furrowed her brows. Lin ya and Wang Li were also shocked. This technician knew how to counter-detect? Was this a technician or a Special Agent? In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire office changed. Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the technical staff. He also scratched his head in embarrassment and said,¡±¡±Actually, I¡¯m not as good as Li Chang made me out to be. I just know a little about this kind of technique. This is a high-tech chip. Even if I want to try it out, I might need some time. ¡± Upon hearing this, Jossi understood. She didn¡¯t hesitate and passed the chip to the technician. This thing was useless in her hands, and it might even expose her whereabouts. However, if he gave it to the technical staff, he could at least study it carefully. The only problem was the positioning. ¡°I¡¯ll give you this chip as long as you can solve the location problem. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll find out.¡± Joes¡¯s expression was grave. She wasn¡¯t worried about being discovered, but if she was discovered, the people behind Yuan Jingtian would definitely find a way to turn off the positioning System. In this way, she wouldn¡¯t be discovered, and there was one less way. ¡°Okay, President Qiao, I¡¯ll give it a try. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems. I¡¯m still confident about that.¡± The technician smiled. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll leave this matter to you! We won¡¯t disturb you any longer. Go do your work elsewhere. ¡± Jossi and the rest decided to give the technical staff some time to investigate, so they left the office after a discussion. Other than the office, the only quiet ce was the lounge. There were two lounges in star Yuan¡¯s shop. The other one was rarely used. The key was in Li Chang¡¯s hand. He used the key to open the door of the lounge. ¡°Squeak ...¡± The few of them entered the room. Joes ced theputer she had brought in the middle of the table, while the rest of the documents were piled up beside it. ¡°Have you brought the document with the test results?¡± Joes asked as she operated theputer. Li Chang nodded and ced the document in front of Joes.¡±¡±President Qiao, this is the test result. If we really go to court, we won¡¯t lose with this document and the giarismparison.¡± Qiao si si and the rest had alreadypleted their brand certification with Zheng ze¡¯s help. Chapter 574

If there was a problem of giarism, they could report it at any time if they had evidence. That was why they were so eager to collect evidence. Now, it seemed that the problem was not big. It was best to find a way to solve the problem of the guests being taken away. They had set the price so low, and Joes would definitely not do as they said. It was not that she was stingy. Instead, it was because the designer¡¯s work should not be belittled like this. She could choose to lower the price, but joesse did not want to make this decision for others. If they really lowered the price, then they would lose this battle. ¡°Alright, we can edit the article now and post it on the inte. They chose to giarize, so we can¡¯t let this matter go.¡± Joesse¡¯s gaze instantly turned sharp. It waspletely different from the gentleness she had before. It was as if she had be a different person. If it was just an ordinary contest between jewelry stores, she wouldn¡¯t have used such a method. But the problem was that the other party had giarized their design. Since they had alreadymitted such a despicable act, there was no need for Joes to show any mercy. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. The other three people said in unison. After that, they officially started to resolve this matter. Joes¡¯s fingers seemed to be dancing as she continuously typed on the keyboard at a speed that would leave anyone speechless. On the other hand, the article on theputer page was already half-edited, and the words were very sharp. What they looked down on was their giarism. ¡°Hiss, sisi¡¯s speed is really fast.¡± Lin ya couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up. ¡°You¡¯re too kind,¡± Joes replied humbly, then continued to focus on theputer page. Her fingers did not make anyments from the beginning to the end. Just as she was about to finish her article, something happened. The phone beside her suddenly rang. Qiao si picked it up and saw that it was Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Zeyi, you called me all of a sudden. Did something happen?¡± she answered the call. ¡°Sisi, I¡¯ve already found the person behind Chen Anna¡¯s car ident.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this as soon as he picked up the phone, his voice extremely serious. Upon hearing this, joesse immediately stopped her hand, her expression slightly surprised.¡±¡±Really? Have you found the results? Who is the one who attacked Anna from behind?¡± Joes¡¯s voice was urgent, and her hands on the table were clenched into tight fists. Her best friend had been hit by a car, and Jossi would never forget that. It was definitely a good thing to be able to find the person who did it! ¡°I went to investigate this matter with my men yesterday. The person behind it was very clean and didn¡¯t leave any evidence, but they overlooked the most important point.¡± At this point, Zheng Zeyi stopped. He pursed his thin lips tightly and said,¡±¡±At that time, there was a surveince camera on a road section at that ce. It captured Lin Xiu ¡®er and the driver who was involved in the ident, who was already dead.¡± What? Instantly, Joes¡¯s breathing quickened, and she gripped her phone tightly, refusing to let go. She gritted her teeth. Her guess was indeed correct. It was Lin Xiu ¡®er! A year ago, he had colluded with the others in thepany to frame Jossi. Now, he was targeting Chen Anna. This person ... Really deserved to die! Perhaps it was because Qiao Si was a little too emotional, but Li Chang and Lin ya both noticed her abnormality and quickly stopped what they were doing and went to her side. Because they were on the phone, it wasn¡¯t appropriate for them to ask, so they could only wait quietly at the side. After Joes calmed down, she spoke into the phone,¡±¡±Ze Yi, then has it been confirmed now that the person who attacked Anna was Lin Xiu ¡®er?¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er! The other three people were also shocked when they heard these words. They didn¡¯t expect that the car ident was really rted to this person. Li Chang didn¡¯t know who this woman was. However, Lin ya and Wang Li were different. They knew very well who Lin Xiu ¡®er was, and they hadn¡¯t forgotten what had happened a year ago. If they hadn¡¯t found evidence, their scheme might have really seeded. He didn¡¯t expect that only a year had passed, and this woman actually came out to be a demon again, and she was so ruthless. Lin ya was furious, but since Qiao sisi was on the phone, she couldn¡¯t say anything. She could only take a deep breath andmunicate with Wang Li through her eyes. Both of them could see the anger in each other¡¯s eyes. This matter was really unbearable. On the other hand, after Zheng ze heard what joesse said, he nodded slightly and said in a dangerous tone,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I can confirm it, but this evidence is obviously not enough to testify against her.¡± If he wanted to testify, he would need sufficient evidence. Although the current evidence could confirm Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s suspicion, it was not enough to put her in jail. This was the main problem. However, Zheng Zeyi had another way. His identity was not as simple as it seemed. It was a simple matter for him to send whoever he wanted to jail, but if he did not let Joes see it, she would not be able to calm down. For the sake of his beloved, he could only find a way on the surface. It was best to let Lin Xiu ¡®er never be able to turn things around. He had yet to settle the score for what happened a year ago. At that time, he had only taught her a simple lesson. This time, he would not let her off! ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± Joes ¡®tone was slightly dejected, as she was still too far away from sess. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t worry,¡± Zheng Zeyi encouraged.¡±I¡¯m still investigating this matter. Give me a few more days.¡± I believe that in two days at most, I should be able to get hold of substantial evidence. Sisi, you have to take good care of yourself. ¡± Thest sentence was really heartwarming. Joes¡¯s anger was finally appeased. She sighed and nodded,¡±¡±I believe in you. You can definitely do it.¡± ¡°Trust me,¡± Zheng Zeyi also smiled. There was a sweet atmosphere between the two of them. Even if they didn¡¯t say anything warm, it still made people feel like they were full of dog food. This was the tacit understanding between them. After that, Zheng Zeyi reminded Qiao sisi to take care and rest. He only hung up the phone reluctantly when he had no choice but to do so. If he didn¡¯t have other things to do, he wouldn¡¯t have hung up in such a hurry. He still wanted to spend more time with his little wife. After hanging up the phone, joesse did not know what Zheng Zeyi was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely beining in her heart. She had just put away her phone when she realized that everyone in the room was looking at her. For a long time, it made people unable toe back to their senses, and the atmosphere was slightly oppressive. Chapter 575

Chapter 575: Why are you here again?

Trantor: 549690339

Joes was stunned for a moment. When she recalled the contents of their conversation, she knew why everyone was looking at her. They must have heard someone¡¯s name. She smiled and began to exin under their gazes,¡±¡±The call just now was from Zeyi. He told me ... He¡¯s found out who¡¯s the one who framed Anna.¡± It could also be said that the answer to this question had already been found. ¡°Lin Xiu ¡®er.¡± Lin ya clenched her fists at those words. She looked very angry and couldn¡¯t help but curse,¡±¡±Why does this Lin Xiu ¡®er keep haunting us? Don¡¯t tell me that you think what you did a year ago wasn¡¯t too much?¡± Upon hearing her words, Joes pursed her lips slightly and fell silent. Only Wang Li frowned and said,¡±little ya, bad people will never think that they¡¯re bad. They¡¯ll only think that they haven¡¯t done enough.¡± They would only stop after they had eliminated their biggest threat. In other words, sisi and Anna¡¯s existence is like a thorn in their side. ¡± No matter what, it was certain that Lin Xiu ¡®er was involved in this matter. Yang Yue Yue was still in prison, so she shouldn¡¯t be able to participate. However, he couldn¡¯t rule out the possibility that someone in the prison had been bribed. The thing rich kids didn¡¯tck the most was money. If they loved to y online money, they could do a lot of things, just like there was a saying. Money can make the devil turn millstones. You could be poor, but you couldn¡¯t be poor. In such a big city, it was difficult to move without money. Therefore, it was possible that many people would take the risk for money. This was not just a guess, but a fact hidden under the city. How many people knew, and how many people pretended not to know. Wang Li¡¯s words were a little profound. After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and added,¡±¡±Sisi, you have to be careful now. As for Anna¡¯s side, I think it¡¯s best to spend money and hire some people. After all, Lin Xiu ¡®er hasn¡¯t been caught yet, and no one knows what she¡¯s nning next. ¡± After all, he had to do this. Upon hearing that, Joes squinted her eyes and nodded.¡±¡±I understand. I¡¯ll tell ye chen about this too. He¡¯ll be able to look after Anna better at the hospital.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Wang Li heaved a sigh of relief. After such an incident, the two of them were in the most danger. They had to pay attention to their safety. ¡°Ze Yi is already helping to investigate Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s matter. He said that he should be able to find substantial evidence in the next two days. I think he¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡± Qiao si si trusted Zheng Zeyi. It had been like this in the beginning, and it was still the same now. As long as it was something he had promised, there was nothing he couldn¡¯t do. However, the only worry was that he would be in danger. Joes lowered her head slightly. After suppressing her worried thoughts, she ced her gaze on theputer. ¡°I¡¯m almost done with what I need to do here. It¡¯s time to find a time to invite Yuan Jingfeng out for a chat. Let¡¯s see if we can use this to threaten him into taking down all the giarized works. ¡± In fact, closing down this shop was the best choice. However, the evidence, including giarism, couldn¡¯t make the jewelry store close down. If it closed down directly, it would be more difficult to find the person behind the scenes. Instead of challenging the hell difficulty, it was better to use the simpler situation now and then send people to investigate. She did not believe that Yuan Jingfeng would not discuss such a big matter like removing the jewelry from the shelves with the people behind him. In any case, this was a big event in the jewelry store and it would affect the performance of the store. ¡°If we¡¯re going out to chat ... Sisi, do you want to take me with you? They were going to a ce with more people. I¡¯m worried that he¡¯ll do something behind my back, and I¡¯m also worried about you going alone. ¡± Wang Li added. Her words stunned Joes. It felt good to have someone care about her, so she nodded.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll bring you along then.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Wang Li suddenly smiled. When Lin ya saw this scene, she was also prepared to join in. However, when she saw Wang Li¡¯s dangerous gaze, she swallowed her words. Li Chang rubbed Lin ya¡¯s hair gently and said,¡±¡±You can learn from me in the shop. I don¡¯t need you for these things for the time being.¡± F * ck! Instantly, Lin ya felt like pink bubbles wereing out of her body. She lowered her head and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. At this time, the few of them had almost finished their discussion. As for threatening Yuan Jingfeng, he would leave it to Qiao si si and Wang Li. As the store manager, manager li would definitely have to stay in the store. If there was an emergency, he was experienced and could deal with it directly. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Bang Bang!¡± Someone knocked on the door of the Qiao family¡¯s residence, making a deafening sound that made one¡¯s eardrums hurt. In the living room. ¡°Who is it?¡± Liu Yun had just finished a day¡¯s work and was feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She was a little confused when she heard the knock on the door. In the living room, other than Liu Yun, Qiao Lei was also ying with his phone. He looked very rxed, but he was actually sweating profusely. He was thinking about how to pay back the money. Simrly, because of the advertisement, Zhao Hai ¡®er stayed in her room for the next two days. She spent most of her time in her own room inplete silence. Liu Yun and the others had no idea what she was doing. ¡°Mom ...¡± Qiao Lei had a bad feeling about this. Just as he was about to stop her, Liu Yun stood up and opened the door. It was too fast, and he could only watch. There was no way for him to stop it. ¡°Who is it?¡± Liu Yun had no idea what was going on. She opened the door naturally and said impatiently,¡± In the end, she looked up and saw the aggressive faces of boss long and the others. They were even holding weapons such as clubs in their hands, as if they were about to do something big. At that moment, Liu Yun was so shocked that she could not react for a long time until boss long said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? It seems like you have forgotten about us. ¡± His tone carried a hint of a cold smile. Liu Yun gritted her teeth in shock and said in a sharp voice,¡±¡±Why are you guys here again?!¡± She really couldn¡¯t believe it. This group of people originally came to make Qiao Lei return the money, but now that the money had been paid, why did they stille? She did not want to see such a terrifying person a second time! Upon hearing her words, not only did boss long and the others burst intoughter, but Qiao Lei, who was in the living room, also understood what had happened after hearing Liu Yun¡¯s surprised words. Chapter 576

Chapter 576: This kid is right

Trantor: 549690339

He loved to gamble, but he was not a fool. Based on Liu Yun¡¯s tone, Qiao Lei was certain that the person outside was boss long. Furthermore, he had already heard that familiar voice. Thinking of the phone call yesterday, Qiao Lei knew that they were here to collect debts. He was so nervous that his whole body trembled. What should he do ... He had no money, so how was he going to pay off his debts? ¡°Let us in,¡± At the entrance, boss long and the others pushed Liu Yun aside and entered the living room without giving her a chance to stop them. He didn¡¯t have to look for her to find Qiao Lei, who was sitting on the sofa, trembling in fear. ¡°Kid, are you afraid?¡± Boss long smiled, but it was very scary. He didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and sat directly next to Qiao Lei. There wasn¡¯t much space between the two of them. ¡°Have you prepared the money I asked you to returnst time? I might have made it clearst time that if you can¡¯t return this money, I can¡¯t guarantee the results.¡± His tone was extremely dangerous. Boss long and the others were here for the money, and if Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t return the money, they wouldn¡¯t be polite either. ording to the original n, he would at least cut off Qiao Lei¡¯s finger. Even that was not enough to let him off. He still had to return the money within the stipted time. This was a must. Otherwise, there would be even more terrifying things waiting for them. The only difference between them and usury was that the interest wasn¡¯t that high. If he were to really lend them money, Qiao Lei would never be able to pay them back in his lifetime, not to mention that Zhao Hai ¡®er was a demon by his side. If he knew what Zhao Hai ¡®er had done, Qiao Lei would know why things had developed to this point. In an instant, Qiao Lei chose to kneel on the ground. He said with snot and tears,¡±¡±Boss long, it¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t want to pay you back on purpose. I still have the chat history on my phone. When I was looking for WeChat, you had already sent me your bank ount number and asked me to transfer the money to this bank card. But now you¡¯re saying that you didn¡¯t receive the money. I really don¡¯t have that much money on me, so I hope you can understand. ¡± Qiao Lei really wanted to cry. The 300,000 Yuan they had taken from Zhao Hai ¡®er was probably thest of her savings. Now, they still needed to make money. Where would they find so much money for them to use? 300,000 Yuan was not a small amount. Even if he went bankrupt, he might not be able to pay it back. He was going to pay it twice! After hearing Qiao Lei¡¯s words, boss long seemed to be in deep thought. Before he could speak, the underlings beside him had already started to encourage him. ¡°Boss, you can¡¯t just believe whatever other people say. What if he¡¯s lying?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, boss. I heard that chat records can be forged. If he were to forge chat records and lie to us, wouldn¡¯t you be at a huge loss, boss?¡± The Lackey who spoke had a ttering look on his face. It seemed like he was giving boss long a n, but it was actually all they wanted. It was just that it would be more dignified to say it out loud. Even those who had been in the gray area all year round cared about their face. After thinking about it, boss long raised his eyebrows and revealed a somewhat terrifying smile. He said to Qiao Lei,¡±¡±You should have heard my brother¡¯s words. This money doesn¡¯t just belong to me. We brothers have been with me for so long, we all want to eat and drink well. If you know what¡¯s good for you, you should quickly give us the money today. You should know that ... We have brought everything. ¡± ¡°Pa pa!¡± Boss long pped his hands, and the Lackey behind him immediately brought over a knife that was polished until it was as bright as snow. The knife reflected a piercing light. Qiao Lei almost peed his pants when he saw the knife! His teeth were chattering. He knew very well that boss long wasn¡¯t joking with him. He had even brought a sickle. He was serious! If he couldn¡¯t pay back the money, he might really lose a finger, or even more. Thinking of this, Qiao Lei was so scared that he couldn¡¯t speak. He opened his mouth several times but swallowed his words back. At this moment, Liu Yun, who was at the door, finally reacted. She had been knocked to the ground earlier, but she quickly got up and walked to the sofa. Looking at the tattooed men in front of her with weapons in their hands, Liu Yun¡¯s attitude was not as arrogant as before. However, she still said to Qiao Lei angrily,¡±¡±Lei, what money? I heard you return the money! Don¡¯t tell me you owe money again? Or did you not return the 300000st time to them? what did you do with it?¡± In the end, Liu Yun was practically roaring in anger. If what she said was true, then she was really going to break down. She had paid off the 300000 Yuan with great difficulty, and now she had to pay another debt. During this period of time in city h, it seemed that they had not done anything else at all. They had been paying back the money from the beginning to the end! And all of this was thanks to their good son! Liu Yun didn¡¯t dare to look at boss Long¡¯s men, so she could only re at her son. At this moment, Qiao Lei was also so scared that he shrank his neck. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± When he heard his mother¡¯s voice, Qiao Lei couldn¡¯t take it anymore and told her everything. He seemed to think that there was still a chance. After finding the chat history on his phone, he showed it to boss long. ¡°Boss long, I really didn¡¯t make it up on purpose. Look, this is the contact ount number you gave me before, and the bank ount number you gave me is also on it. I didn¡¯t even delete the transfer record! Someone must be plotting Against Me! I¡¯ve already returned the money to you the moment I received it!¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s tone was very excited, and he had already lost his mind. After hearing this, no one knew what boss long was thinking, but in the end, he still took the phone and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw the chat history on it. There was no mistake with his ount either. It was indeed the ount that had been hacked. It seemed like ... This kid was right. At first, boss long thought that Qiao Lei was just making things up, but now it seemed that it was true. He had indeed transferred 300000 Yuan to his bank card. Unfortunately, he did not receive the money. Only if he received it would it be considered as Qiao Lei paying off his debt. If he didn¡¯t receive it, no matter what Qiao Lei did, it was none of his business. Boss long snorted and returned the phone to Qiao Lei, cutting off his hope.¡±¡±I don¡¯t believe a single word you say.¡± Chapter 577

Chapter 577: I will definitely be able to return the money

Trantor: 549690339

As for whether this was true or not, he naturally knew in his heart. After all, he had been in the gray area for so many years. If even this boss long couldn¡¯t see through it, then he had been in vain all these years. He could only see it, but there were some things he couldn¡¯t say. He was definitely going to get the money. As for how Qiao Lei made things difficult for him, it was none of his business. ¡°Boss long, it¡¯s true, I¡¯m not lying to you. Please, give me some more time! I really can¡¯t return the money now!¡± Qiao Lei was also on the verge of a mental breakdown. He thought that he could rx for a while, but nothing had changed. It was as if the 300000 Yuan had never appeared. ¡°Mom, mom, help me!¡± Qiao Lei knelt down and moved to Liu Yun¡¯s side. He grabbed Liu Yun¡¯s leg and pleaded with her in a heart-wrenching voice. Besides, he had always been the family¡¯s baby. The Supporting Actress frowned, still feeling a little sorry for him. He took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±Even if you beg me now, what¡¯s the use? I¡¯ve already given you the money. But can¡¯t you see clearly before you pay? Even if we sell everything we have now, we can¡¯t afford to return this money!¡± Liu Yun was speaking the truth. The Qiao family did not have any spare money left. Zhao Hai ¡®er had also taken out all her money. If they still wanted to get money, they would have to sell everything at home. They didn¡¯t know who would be interested in the junk in their house. ¡°Mom, what should I do then?¡± The two people¡¯s constant wailing really annoyed boss long. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough!¡± Qiao Lei and Liu Yun immediately shut their mouths when they heard his impatient voice. It was clear how terrified they were. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you onest time. The money ... Are you going to return it or not?¡± The impatience on boss Long¡¯s face was very clear. Liu Yun and her mother were almost certain that if they were to answer that they couldn¡¯t return the money, this man would probably take action immediately. He was not a good person. ¡°Wait!¡± Liu Yun swallowed her saliva as if she had recalled something. She looked at the tightly shut door in the corner with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Now, only her daughter was left. Perhaps she still had some money on her, which could calm boss Long¡¯s anger. If boss long really took Qiao Lei away, the Qiao family¡¯s lineage would be cut off. This matter was even more ruthless! ¡°Speak,¡± he said. Liu Yun hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she said firmly,¡±My daughter might still have some money on her. Wait for me for a while.¡± ¡°Daughter?¡± The smile on boss Long¡¯s face had not changed since the beginning. When he heard these two words, his interest was piqued. As for Zhao Hai ¡®er, boss long and the others had met her once at the Qiao family¡¯s residence, but they had not noticed this ordinary woman at that time. But now, Liu Yun had actually said that his daughter had money on her. This was extremely unbelievable. Without hesitation, Liu Yun went to knock on Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s door. After a series of heavy knocks, the person inside finally opened the door. ¡°Mom ...¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er wasn¡¯t sleeping when she was inside, so she could hear everything that happened outside. She knew what was going on. What she heard even more clearly was that her mother had pushed her out at such a critical moment. In other words ... He wanted her to bear the responsibility. Fortunately, Zhao Hai ¡®er had long lost hope in this family. With her own personality, she would only hate this family more and more, and she would want to get rid of these vampires. She didn¡¯t even feel the slightest bit of shame about her identity as a mistress. ¡°Hai ¡®er, do you have any money on you? look outside, your brother is in urgent need of money. He¡¯s your brother, you have to help him!¡± Liu Yun blurted out a string of words. Her words were filled with anxiety. She really valued Qiao Lei. Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s face turned cold.¡±¡±You¡¯re still asking me this question? Didn¡¯t you guys take all my moneyst time? I¡¯ve already spent the remaining few thousand, so you don¡¯t have to think about taking money from me. ¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er did not reveal the truth. Instead, she told Liu Yun about a few thousand Yuan, which attracted her attention. ¡°What?¡± Liu Yun was extremely shocked. The next moment, she grabbed Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s hand and said,¡±how could you spend all that money? look at the situation now! Your brother is about to be taken away by them. If you don¡¯t take out the money, who will inherit the Qiao family in the future?¡± Inheritance? Zhao Hai ¡®er wanted to sneer. Who would want to inherit this broken Qiao family? This was a mess that people wanted to avoid. Only a good-for-nothing like Qiao Lei would still think of using the Qiao family to earn more money. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll tell you one more time. I¡¯m not lying to you. I really don¡¯t have any money on me. If I do, I¡¯ll definitely help.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er gave a fake smile. Although he said that, he didn¡¯t actually think that way. If Qiao Lei was taken away by boss long and his men, that would be the best oue. Even if he had the money, she would not help him. This was the reality. ¡°You really ... Don¡¯t have any money?¡± Liu Yun was in despair. Her hand slowly slid down and she could no longer focus. It was useless to contact Qiao Feng now because they did not have that much money. Liu Yun was the one who was in charge of thepany and she knew that. Hisst hope was his daughter, and now that hope had been shattered. The entire apartment was only so big, and their movements could be heard clearly from the living room. Not a single thing was missed. ¡°Did you hear that?¡± Suddenly, boss Long¡¯s voice rang in Qiao Lei¡¯s ears, and he couldn¡¯t help but shiver. ¡°I heard it from your mother and sister. It¡¯s very clear. In other words, your family can¡¯t afford to pay my debt now, right?¡± On the surface, boss long was still smiling, but his smile carried a bit of coldness, which made Qiao Lei feel that he was about to make a move. Qiao Lei was shocked and quickly took a step back, but there was a wall behind him. He couldn¡¯t continue to retreat. He could only lean against the wall and say with a short breath,¡±¡±Boss long, you ... Calm down. I¡¯ll definitely pay you back. I¡¯ll also check the WeChat matter. I beg you, please give me some more time, just a little more time. If I can¡¯t pay you back by then, I¡¯ll go to you personally. ¡± Qiao Lei used an honorific. Chapter 578

However, no matter how much he begged, boss long would not agree. If he agreed to it every time, wouldn¡¯t it make him seem like he didn¡¯t have the dignity of a boss at all? This won¡¯t do! Boss Long¡¯s face turned serious and he sneered,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re forcing me to make a move now. Everyone, take your weapons!¡± ¡°Yes! Boss!¡± At boss Long¡¯s order, the group of underlings directly grabbed Qiao Lei and pulled out a polished vegetable knife. It reflected a silver light, making people feel a wave of fear. ¡°Don¡¯t ... Don ¡®t!¡± Qiao Lei was so scared that tears were about to fall. His body kept trembling, trying to escape from these people¡¯s control. However, no matter how he struggled, the hand on his shoulder held him tightly, making it impossible for him to escape! After all, he had listened to orders, so he could still do something. Just as boss long was about to say something, he was interrupted by Liu Yun, who rushed over from not far away. As if she had gone mad, she went forward and pulled on boss Long¡¯s underlings, trying to free her son from the shackles. However, her strength was no different from scratching an itch. ¡°Mom ...¡± Hearing her son¡¯s pleading voice, Liu Yun¡¯s heart ached even more. She gave up on the idea of pulling these little brothers and stopped what she was doing. Liu Yun took a deep breath and kneeled down in front of boss long. His voice wasn¡¯t soft, but it wasn¡¯t soft either. At this critical moment, Liu Yun did not have the time to notice if the force she used to kneel on the ground was light or heavy. She would only do it when she had nothing to do. Facing boss Long¡¯s cold expression, Liu Yun knelt on the ground and pleaded,¡±¡±Big brother, I¡¯m begging you. My son has already paid back the money. I beg you to let him go. He¡¯s still young and has a lifetime to live. He can¡¯t be destroyed here!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face was covered in snot and tears, and boss long couldn¡¯t help but shift away from her, afraid that he would get stained by these things. Sometimes ... It was really disgusting. Boss long toyed with the hilt of the sword in his hand, which was neither long nor short, and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know that you have to pay the price for your mistakes?¡± ¡°But my son ... She has already returned the money.¡± Liu Yun was really confused about this matter. ¡°Alright, I don¡¯t have time to continue talking nonsense with you!¡± Boss long waved his hand and said to his underlings,¡±Alright, we¡¯re almost done with what we have to do. Bring her along. Staying in this run-down apartment for too long will only lower our ss.¡± ¡°Yes, boss!¡± After the underlings agreed, they took Qiao Lei and prepared to leave. They were particrly strong, but they were also afraid that he would still struggle and escape. One look at them and he knew it wasn¡¯t anything good. Seeing this, Liu Yun was really anxious. She quickly got up from the ground and chased after him,¡±No! This is my son, you can¡¯t just take him away like this!¡± Qiao Lei was the hope of the Qiao family to continue their lineage! He was also Liu Yun¡¯s only son in a long time. If he was taken away and his life was ruined, who would she rely on to take care of her in the future? Just Zhao Hai ¡®er? She was not reliable at all! However, Liu Yun had only thought of the superficial things, and was unaware of the hidden facts. For example ... The son she had raised as a treasure was only treating them as a free ATM. Qiao Lei didn¡¯t even need to worry about paying off his debts. Where else in the world could he find such a good thing? ¡°Don¡¯t leave!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s speed was considered fast. She blocked boss long and his men who were about to walk out of the door, including Qiao Lei who was struggling. ¡°Mom, please save me!¡± He cried.¡±I can¡¯t let them take me away. They¡¯ll cut off my fingers!¡± Every time he thought of this, Qiao Lei felt that he couldn¡¯t stand the gory scene, and he couldn¡¯t stand it now! If he had known that things would turn out like this today, he would have run away when he couldn¡¯t return the money yesterday! With his fingers cut off, what difference was there between him, Qiao Lei, and a cripple? ¡°I beg you, I beg you!¡± Liu Yun was still clinging onto one of her underlings ¡®legs, not letting go. Her face was covered in tears and snot, and it was a revolting sight. The underling tried to break free, but Liu Yun¡¯s strength was so great that he could not escape from her grasp no matter how hard he tried. ¡°Damn it!¡± If the Lackey¡¯s leg was not being held so tightly, he would have turned around and kicked Liu Yun. Seeing this, boss long stopped in his tracks and said with a frown,¡±¡±This woman is actually so persistent. Teach her a little lesson. Today, Qiao Lei must take it away. 300000 Yuan ... I gave him time, but he didn¡¯t cherish it. ¡± ¡°Yes, boss!¡± A few of the underlings who had nothing on their hands immediately rushed to Liu Yun¡¯s side when they received the order. The smiles on their faces were a little lecherous. At this moment, Liu Yun¡¯s face turned pale when she saw so many fierce-looking hooligans.¡±You ... What do you want? You can¡¯t Lay Your Hands on Me!¡± ¡°On what basis?¡± The underling sneered and kicked Liu Yun¡¯s waist, causing her to scream in pain. She then let go of the underling¡¯s hand that was holding her leg. After getting rid of the binding rope, the younger brother¡¯s face also looked a bit better as he kicked his brother on one side. ¡°Ah!¡± Liu Yun¡¯s scream resounded through the entire apartment building. The other residents of the apartment building also understood what had happened when they heard the loud noise. However, no one dared toe out. Of course, Liu Yun¡¯s family did not have a good impression of the outside world. Everyone hated this family. Not to mention that the person who came to collect the debt was such a fierce person. If they came out, they might even be beaten up. Instead ofing out to join in the fun, it was better to stay in the apartment quietly, at least until these people left. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your breath on this old hag. She¡¯s just wasting our time. Boss, let¡¯s take our people and leave. ¡± One of his underlings reminded him impatiently. However, his impatience was not directed at boss long, but at Liu Yun. Boss long also nodded in agreement.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go!¡± The group of people left the apartment building in a mighty manner. Qiao Lei¡¯s wailing could not be heard and was buried in the crowd. His eyes were filled with endless fear. He didn¡¯t know about other things, but now that he was taken away by boss long and the others, he would definitely not have a good end! Even after he had left, Liu Yun was still lying on the ground, unable to react. The pain in her stomach made her unable to move at all. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er, who had been treating them coldly, only walked to Liu Yun¡¯s side and helped her up after the group of people left.

As soon as Zhao Hai ¡®er helped Liu Yun up, Zhao Hai¡¯ er red at her angrily. Zhao Hai ¡®er sat down on the sofa and let go of her hand. ¡°Zhao Hai ¡®er, you B * tch!¡± Liu Yun bellowed. Why didn¡¯t youe and help when your brother was taken away? Now that your brother has been taken away by that group of people, you¡¯re happy!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er was also a little angry at Liu Yun¡¯s embarrassment. She said angrily,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you see the scene just now? even you were beaten up. What about me?¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er sneered,¡±¡±I know. You just don¡¯t like me, your daughter, and want to use this to teach me a lesson, right?¡± It was only right for Qiao Lei to repay his debt. Even if the security guards came, they couldn¡¯t say no. However, he had done something he shouldn¡¯t have done ... He had taken Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s money! She wasn¡¯t a kind person, and this was the price Qiao Lei had to pay for not being able to pay back the money. He deserved it! Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s eyes shed with madness. Of her enemies, Qiao Lei was the only one who had received his retribution. The next one ... The most important one was that B * tch Leng Yan. Even Joes ¡®ranking was slightly lower. ¡°You unfilial daughter, I¡¯ve never said that. He might be your biological brother, but you can just stand there and watch coldly. This daughter of yours is a little too cold-blooded. You clearly have money on you, so why won¡¯t you help your brother?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s body trembled uncontrobly. She didn¡¯t care how unreasonable her words were. Now that her son was so handsome, she vented all her anger on Zhao Hai ¡®er. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯ll be cold-blooded to the end!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er¡¯s tone was sharp. She turned around and returned to her room under Liu Yun¡¯s wide-open gaze. She pushed out a suitcase that she had prepared earlier. She had wanted to leave the Qiao family for a long time, but she had never put it into action. She had been waiting for this opportunity today. Since Qiao Lei was not around, Liu Yun could not stop her. As long as she left the Qiao family, she could go anywhere. If he continued to stay in this ce, he would only be disgusted and disgusted. ¡°I¡¯m leaving. Don¡¯t expect me to help you solve Qiao Lei¡¯s problem. You can think of a way yourself.¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er said lightly as she continued to push her luggage toward the door. Upon seeing this, Liu Yun finally snapped out of her daze and stood up from the sofa. She rubbed her waist and said,¡±¡±You unfilial daughter! If you dare to step out of this door today, don¡¯t even think abouting back! It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t help your brother when he¡¯s captured, but now you¡¯re even making sarcastic remarks and preparing to run away with the money?¡± ¡°PAH!¡± Zhao Hai ¡®er did not back down. To prevent her mother¡¯s spittle from flying everywhere, she took a few steps back. She controlled her urge to roll her eyes and said coldly,¡±¡±You can think whatever you want. I¡¯m leaving today anyway, so don¡¯t even think about stopping me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Liu Yun wanted to step forward to stop him, but the pain in her waist made her grimace in pain. She could only take a few steps after a long time. Zhao Hai ¡®er, on the other hand, left. Her back disappeared from the apartment door, and with the sound of her footsteps, she left the old apartment. This ce was also the beginning of Liu Yun¡¯s family¡¯s nightmare in city H. Ever since they moved here, nothing good had happened. However, it should also be said that they were stubborn and had continuously provoked Joes, which led to this oue. Qiao Feng and Qiao Lei were also an important part of the reason. ¡°What a sin ...¡± Looking at the empty, dpidated apartment, Liu Yun felt regret for the first time. If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would never have agreed toe to city h! Now that his son had been taken away by debt collectors, his daughter had also lost her heart and was determined to leave the house with the money. Even if he left, it would be good to leave the money behind! ¡°You¡¯re all a bunch of ingrates!¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± Liu Yun cursed. Her waist was still throbbing in pain. She held her waist and was about to make a call when she heard her neighbor open the door. After what had happened earlier, none of them were willing toe out. Now that it was time to watch the show, how could they miss it? Furthermore, Liu Yun was extremely annoying. He would not let go of the chance to see her make a fool of herself. Zhao Hai ¡®er did not close the apartment door when she left, so the neighbors saw the mess at the Qiao family¡¯s residence and Liu Yun, who was beaten up in the back. ¡°Hey, Liu Yun, what¡¯s going on?¡± The neighbor pretended to be surprised, as if she had seen something new, and looked around the house. Upon hearing the familiar voice, Liu Yun¡¯s face stiffened. She took a deep breath and turned around. Good Lord ... It was indeed the few neighbors who had angered her to death. All of them were good at gossiping. However, after Liu Yun¡¯s impertinent wordsst time, they had their eyes on Liu Yun and the Qiao family. They would discuss every little thing. This made Liu Yun feel extremely disgusted. However, she did not think that she had done anything wrong. As a result, the two gradually developed into an irreconcble problem. Liu Yun was already very angry when she encountered such a situation. Now that she heard these people talking, her tone was not very good.¡±What do you mean by that? Didn¡¯t you hear me just now?¡± His tone was very aggressive and disgusting. When the neighbor saw her in such a miserable state, she thought that she would just say a few words and let it go. In the end, when he heard this answer, his anger was instantly ignited. ¡°Yo, Liu Yun. I see that you¡¯re still as arrogant as ever even after what happened!¡± ¡°It is! Your own son owes someone money and doesn¡¯t want to pay it back, and now you have the nerve to yell at us. Those who don¡¯t know better might think that you¡¯re in the right!¡± A middle-aged woman¡¯s face was full of disdain. ¡°This is my family¡¯s business. What does it have to do with you?¡± Liu Yun¡¯s face was so dark that it looked like it was going to rain. Usually, she was still in the mood to argue with these people, but now that Qiao Lei had been arrested, she was in a hurry to tell Qiao Feng about it! This group of people did not give up. After hearing Liu Yun¡¯s words, the middle-aged woman snorted coldly,¡±Hmph, it has nothing to do with us. We¡¯re not interested in your family¡¯s Affairs. It¡¯s just that people like you deserve to end up like this. We¡¯re just happy about it!¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± Liu Yun was so angry that she was about to explode. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she couldn¡¯t move, she would have given this group of people a good beating! Chapter 580

Chapter 580: Naturally, you can

The middle-aged woman waspletely unafraid of Liu Yun¡¯s actions. She even ced her hands on her hips and spat out, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? aren¡¯t we just doing what we said literally?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± The aunty¡¯s high spirits stunned the arrogant Liu Yun for a moment. After she came back to her senses, she said in a sharp voice,¡±¡±Get lost, all of you, get lost. Don¡¯t stay in front of my house!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± This time, Liu Yun had suffered a huge blow. She immediately mmed the door shut with a loud bang. Because the house was rtively old, if the door was closed too hard, it would cause a lot of dust to fall from the wall. Liu Yun¡¯s sudden action caught the aunties off guard, and they were all covered in dust. ¡°Pei Pei!¡± A few aunties waved their hands to blow away the dust in front of them, while cursing. ¡°What kind of person is he? it¡¯s the truth. He can¡¯t even say it!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know this woman? It¡¯s really bad luck to move to this ce. His personality is really bad. ¡± ¡°In my opinion, her son owes so much money and has been taken away. It¡¯s better not toe back. Those people are so fierce, who knows if they¡¯ll take over our apartment. We¡¯ll be in big trouble then. ¡± The middle-aged woman shook her head, her tone somewhat emotional. The other one nodded and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re right. We still have to quickly tell this news to others and let them pay attention. We don¡¯t want that group of people toe to our apartment again and not know what happened. ¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The aunties did not stay at the door of the Qiao family¡¯s residence for long. After saying this, they left one after another, their footsteps gradually fading away. Meanwhile, Liu Yun, who was in the Qiao family¡¯s residence, was so angry that her face turned red and she almost fainted! ¡°This group of B * tches!¡± She cursed fiercely and only calmed down after a long time. When she heard those people¡¯s words just now, she almost rushed out. But in the end, he controlled himself. If the current situation was dyed by these few B * tches, Qiao Lei would probably lose a finger. The most important thing now was to tell Qiao Feng! ¡°Let the child¡¯s father know first!¡± Liu Yun made up her mind and quickly picked up her phone to call Qiao Feng. At the same time, she was organizing her words in her heart. ¡­¡­¡­ Joesse only found out about what had happened at the house of the Qiao family through detective Wen, but she did not expect the situation to turn out this way in such a short period of time. At that moment, Jossi was still in the star dor shop, but she was the only one left in the office. They had all gone to deal with the business in the store. ¡°Detective Wen, where is Qiao Lei being taken by boss long and his men?¡± Joesse asked in confusion. Detective Wen pondered for a moment,¡±¡±I¡¯m not too sure about this, but I know it¡¯s probably boss Long¡¯s territory. President Qiao, I think it¡¯s better if you don¡¯t get involved in this matter. Although we yed a role in pushing it, no one actually knows the truth. ¡± What detective Wen had said was true. No one knew that Joes had gone to the casino previously because detective Wen had helped her. If she were to make a move this time, exposing herself would only be one of the disadvantages. Joes smiled.¡±Don¡¯t worry. I know what¡¯s more important. I don¡¯t have to do anything to them.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a little relieved to hear that, President Qiao. ¡± Detective Wen nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. Joes was not a fool. She had tried so hard to make Qiao Lei and the others get their retribution. Now that they had brought it upon themselves, how could she help them? ording to Qiao sisi¡¯s understanding of the Qiao family, if she were to make a move now, not only would she not be in a good position, she might even be criticized by Qiao Lei and the others. He was criticizing her for not helping him earlier and only helping him now. Joes was not the kind of person who would return good for evil. That kind of behavior was simply too foolish. ¡°Detective Wen, please continue to help me look after the things over there. There¡¯s nothing to pay attention to recently, so just take a look. However, I have another matter that I need your help with. I wonder if you can help me with it. ¡± Joes quickly thought of the main point. Regarding this matter, it would be best to ask the trustworthy detective Wen to help investigate. If there was any news, he would be able to know in time. Detective Wen was slightly taken aback as he was curious about what had happened.¡±¡±President Qiao, just tell me. What is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this, there¡¯s a new jewelry store in the city. It¡¯s not far from our store, and the manager ... Is a man called Yuan Jingfeng.¡± At the mention of Yuan Jingfeng, Joes¡¯s expression changed slightly. To be honest, she really didn¡¯t have any good feelings for this man at all. It had been like this since the first time they met. Only a fool wouldn¡¯t be able to sense that he was plotting something. He tried his best to get Jessi to buy the jewelry and use the location tracker in it to achieve his goal. Joes had guessed that something was amiss from the start, which was why she agreed to buy the set of jewelry. In the end, when she got the technical staff to check, they found out that there was a conspiracy. Now, it seemed that it was the right move to not alert the enemy. As she thought about this, Joes furrowed her brows slightly. She quickly rxed and focused her thoughts on the conversation with detective Wen.¡±My Commission is for you to investigate the background of this shop and find out why it was built.¡± At the end of his sentence, his voice turned cold. As for Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s matter, Joes did not say much to detective Wen. There were some things that could be said, but there were some things that did not need to be said. He was entrusted with the investigation of the background. He only needed to solve this matter and didn¡¯t need to worry too much about the rest. After hearing this, detective Wen had his own guess in his heart and quickly agreed,¡±¡±Alright, then I¡¯ll ept your Commission, President Qiao. I have some impression of this shop you mentioned. I should be able to give you an answer soon. ¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for the good news from detective Wen.¡± Joes¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°Naturally, you can.¡± After the two of them greeted each other, they hung up the phone and went to do their own things. The first thing that Qiao si did after hanging up the phone was to transfer the money to detective Wen, which was to keep an eye on the Qiao family¡¯s expenses. The reward wasn¡¯t much. After all, it wasn¡¯t a difficult Commission. He just had to observe from time to time and give some information. Chapter 581

Chapter 581: I¡¯ll leave it to you then

Trantor: 549690339

However, when it was time to transfer the money, Joes still gave him a lot more as a form of thanks to detective Wen. Detective Wen had helped her so much that to put it simply, they were just working together. However, they could still be considered friends. In addition, joesse still had some assets now, so he did not have to worry too much about money. Just as Jossi was about to keep her phone, a sudden vibration disrupted her thoughts. What was going on? Qiao SI¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. She thought that the message was sent by Zheng Zeyi, but when she looked at her phone, she realized that the message was sent by Yuan Jingfeng. ¡°What is this man nning?¡± Joes was extremely confused, but her hands did not slow down. She picked up her phone and saw that Yuan Jingfeng had asked her out. Yuan Jingfeng asked,¡¯Dear Customer, if you don¡¯t mind, can we meet at the caf¨¦ next door? I¡¯m here to apologize for what happened in the shop today. ¡± Joes silently retracted her gaze. She felt that this man was indeed a little pretentious. Whatever purpose he had, he had to beat around the bush and thought that no one else knew. In fact, it had already been exposed a long time ago. The only reason why he didn¡¯t expose it now was because the time hadn¡¯te yet. Joes did not reply immediately. Instead, she looked at the documents that Li Chang had arranged on the table. They were all information on the store¡¯s sales volume and various aspects. As the boss, she naturally had to take a look. She had no time these few days, and she finally had some free time. Of course, she had to understand her own shop. Joes picked up the document and read it seriously, ignoring the phone on the table for a long time. Until the vibration started again. ¡°Buzz.¡± Upon hearing this voice, Joes could only helplessly put down the pen in her hand and take a look at the message. ¡°It seems like the customer isn¡¯t here. I hope you can reply to me after reading it.¡± In your dreams! Jossi cursed inwardly, but she couldn¡¯t send it out. ording to the n that he had discussed with Wang Li and the rest, he had to meet Yuan Jingfeng. Moreover, he would have to bring Wang Li along to prevent Yuan Jingfeng from plotting anything. The two of them could look out for each other. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Come in,¡± Joes lifted her head and said. Wang Li pushed the door open and entered with a cup of freshly brewed milk tea in her hand. When she saw that she was slightly stunned while holding the phone, she immediately guessed the reason.¡±¡±Did the manager of that shop send you a message?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Joes did not expect Wang Li to guess what had happened even before she said anything. She was truly impressed. Wang Li smiled when she heard this.¡±I¡¯m just guessing. You usually don¡¯t look at your phone when you¡¯re dealing with documents.¡± Moreover, President Zheng is still busy investigating Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s matter, so I guess that this is the only possibility that could make you have this expression. ¡± ¡°Amazing.¡± Joes could not help but praise. ¡°You¡¯re too kind,¡± After Wang Li replied humbly, she walked to joesse¡¯s table and ced the steaming hot milk tea on the table. ¡°Xiao Ya just went to buy this. She bought several servings and picked one that tastes good for you. You can try it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do as you say,¡± After smelling the sweet fragrance of the milk tea, Joes also felt a little thirsty. She took the milk tea and tried it with a straw. The sweet taste of papaya left his mouth, making him want more, and it was very warm. After a mouthful, joesse felt her entire body warming up. She covered the milk tea with both hands, and it took a while for her to enjoy the feeling. She then put the milk tea back on the table. ¡°You have a good eye, Li Li,¡± Joes said with a smile.¡±Papaya milk tea is quite delicious.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± Wang Li took a look at Joes¡¯s phone and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s the situation now? why don¡¯t you tell me? We¡¯ll have to meet sooner orter anyway. ¡± There was nothing wrong with her saying that she would meet Yuan Jingfeng together with Qiao sisi. ¡°You¡¯re right. ¡± Qiao si si nodded and told Wang Li about the message that Yuan Jingfeng had sent on WeChat. As expected, Wang Li also had a look of disdain. However, she knew that things weren¡¯t as simple as they seemed on the surface, so she returned to her normal expression after a while. ¡°Sisi, why do you think this person asked you out?¡± When she heard Wang Li¡¯s question, Qiao si pursed her lips and guessed,¡±¡±My personal opinion is that it shouldn¡¯t be anything rted to the store. Lin ya and I didn¡¯t show anything there, and we even bought jewelry with whereabouts tracking devices, so we didn¡¯t alert the enemy for the time being. ¡± Therefore, this time, Yuan Jingfeng definitely did not ask Joes out for this matter. He wanted to meet her alone for something else. For example ... Make a move! These were all guesses and there was no evidence at the moment. However, Joes felt that it was not safe to go over just like that. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big problem if you put it that way. Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t be able to do anything if I go with you. ¡± After the previous incident, Wang Li had a lot of confidence in ensuring safety. She had even practiced it specially for this purpose. She didn¡¯t want her good friend to encounter such a life-and-death situation again, so it was better to be safe. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll reply to you.¡± Joesse and Wang Li looked at each other. After the two of them reached a consensus, joesse picked up her phone and started to reply to messages. However, he had already replied in a short while. Joes replied,¡¯we can meet, roughly when. A few seconds after she sent the message, she received a reply from Yuan Jingfeng. It was clear that he had been looking at his phone the whole time while waiting for the message. From this, he could guess a lot of information. ¡°It¡¯s still a little busy at the shop, if you don¡¯t mind ... Can we do it in twenty minutes?¡± Twenty minutes ... It was neither a long nor a short time, but it was enough for Joes and Wang Li to prepare some things. ¡°What do you think?¡± Wang Li nodded slightly and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a problem. Just agree to it. I¡¯ll guarantee your safety.¡± Looking at how confident Wang Li was, the corners of Joes¡¯s mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile that made one feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± After saying that, joesse did not waste any time. She immediately picked up her phone and replied,¡±¡±No problem. See you in 20 minutes then.¡± Not long after she sent it, she received a reply from the busy Yuan Jingfeng. ¡°You¡¯re really considerate, customer. ¡± Chapter 582

Trantor: 549690339

¡°Then it¡¯s a deal. See you in twenty minutes.¡± After seeing this message, joesse did not continue to reply. She immediately switched off her phone and threw it on the table. ¡°Twenty minutes is just right. Let¡¯s get ready. We shouldn¡¯t rush when we go.¡± Joes said. After hearing this, Wang Li also agreed,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ve already prepared some things for self-defense. I¡¯ll take them with me.¡± The two of them started to get busy. Their goal was to deal with Guan Jingfeng, who had a big goal. Yuan Jingfeng, who was still busy in the shop, didn¡¯t even know that he had beenpletely exposed. He had thought that he had hidden it very well and that no one would be able to discover it, but in fact, his acting was very bad. They didn¡¯t know what retreating to advance was. ¡­¡­¡­ In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes had passed. Joes was carrying a small and exquisite bag on her back. Inside the bag was a recording pen that had been recording since the beginning. With this pen, he would be able to record everything that was going to happenter, so that he wouldn¡¯t be able to fish out any information without any evidence, which would be really awkward. ¡°Sisi, Lili, are you leaving?¡± At the door, Lin ya saw the two of them walking quickly and called out to them, causing her to stop in her tracks. ¡°Yes,¡± Joes turned around and replied,¡±what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine,¡± Lin ya quickly shook her head and pretended that nothing had happened, but she still looked very strange. Jossi and Wang Li were both suspicious, but they had more important things to do, so they did not pay much attention to it. ¡°Then we¡¯ll take our leave first.¡± ¡°Be careful on the road!¡± As she watched Jossi and Wang Li leave, Lin ya waved her hand onest time and lowered her head in embarrassment, mumbling,¡±¡±If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have said so much. I almost exposed myself!¡± ¡°Exposed what?¡± At this moment, Li Chang¡¯s voice came from behind her, making Lin ya shiver in fear. She patted her chest and suppressed her fear. Then, she said helplessly,¡±¡±You scared me to death. I was just thinking about something, but you pulled me back to reality.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry ...¡± The corner of Li Chang¡¯s mouth twitched. Lin ya rolled her eyes. It was the first time she didn¡¯t continue the conversation with Li Chang.¡±Alright, there are still so many things to do in the store, so I won¡¯t continue talking to you. I¡¯ll go and do my work first!¡± After saying that, Lin ya turned around and ran. Looking at her back as she fled, Li Chang inexplicably revealed a handsome smile. If Lin ya hadn¡¯t left and saw this, she would probably be infatuated again. It had to be said that Li Chang was still very good-looking. What no one noticed was that a few minutester, a figure secretly left the star dor shop and followed Joes and Wang Li. And that person was very cautious, always keeping a distance to avoid being discovered if he got too close. At the entrance of the cafe. This caf¨¦ was very close to the star dor shop, just next to the jewelry store. The only difference was that this caf¨¦ had been open for a long time. It was also very high-ss, which could be seen from the decoration alone. ¡°This ce looks really high-end.¡± Wang Li nodded slightly. She had learned something from Lin ya. Joes could not help butugh.¡±Looks like you¡¯re not ying with Lin ya. You can still be very lively.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even mention it. ¡± At the mention of Lin ya, Wang Li¡¯s face was full of helplessness. Due to her work, Joes was no longer in the same office as the two of them. The person who understood Lin ya¡¯s daily situation the best was probably Wang Li, who was as happy as a crazy rabbit. Wang Li even suspected that she was the reincarnation of a rabbit. Sometimes she was very noisy, but of course ... It didn¡¯t mean that she didn¡¯t have peace. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look. ¡± Jossi gave Wang Li a look, and the two of them walked into the cafe together. They heard the background music that lifted their moods. Even the background music seemed to have been upgraded several times in such a high-end environment. ¡°Hello, my two guests.¡± The moment Joes and grace entered, the service staff weed them with a very respectful attitude. They had such good manners. Seeing how polite he was, Jossi smiled.¡±¡±Sorry to trouble you, but I would like to ask if there are any seats for three people inside?¡± ¡°Three people?¡± The waiter frowned, as if he had thought of something, and quickly asked,¡±¡±Are you two here to see a person called Yuan Jingfeng?¡± He knew! The waiter¡¯s words proved a lot. By now, Qiao si could more or less guess that Yuan Jingfeng had already arrived at the caf¨¦. Now, he just had to ask the waiter to pay attention to them and bring them over when they came. ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡± Joes replied. The waiter heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile,¡±¡±That¡¯s great. The guest has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joesse and Wang Li both felt that something was amiss and noticed that the waiter had said that it had been a long time. If it had been 20 minutes since they arrived at the caf¨¦, they probably wouldn¡¯t have stayed for too long. Most importantly ... How did Yuan Jingfeng know that Wang Li hade with him when it had three seats? This matter was really too strange when he thought about it carefully. However, Jossi and the rest were not familiar with this waitress, so they only had a 50 ¨C 50 chance. After a while. The waiter was very clear about the location of the coffee shop. In just a few dozen seconds, he had already led the person to a position in the center of the coffee shop. As expected, it was a table for three. Moreover, Yuan Jingfeng was already waiting for them here. He had ordered three cups of coffee and ced them in front of him. The coffee was steaming and had a unique coffee aroma. ¡°My two guests, you¡¯ve finally arrived.¡± Yuan Jingfeng did not notice anything amiss. He smiled and gestured for Qiao si si and Wang Li to sit opposite him. After the waiterpleted his task, he left the room to the three of them. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to agree at first, but it seems that you¡¯re really generous!¡± Yuan Jingfeng started to tter. ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated,¡± Joes¡¯s smile was faint. She did not even think of touching the coffee on the table. It was best not to touch a stranger¡¯s things. Joes had a deep understanding of this, as she had encountered the same situation before. The only good thing was that the result was a little bit better. Now, no matter what he said, he needed to use his brain. Whoever wants to drink the bright coffee can go drink it! Chapter 583

Joes¡¯s gaze was fixed on the cup of coffee in front of her. The caf¨¦ was decorated in a very high-end manner. Although it did not look very gorgeous, it was very attractive. Beautiful music and soft lighting were heard. The people around them were whispering to each other as if they were afraid of ruining the atmosphere. The warm sunlight shone in through the French windows. It was not dazzling, but it made people feel warm. People wereing and going outside the window. The street was very lively. However, in the current atmosphere and situation, Joes had no intention of enjoying it, much less to admire the scenery outside the window. As for the coffee, it was very expensive, and the steam was very tempting. However, sisi and Wang Li had no intention of tasting it. Joes pursed her lips and the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. She did not size him up but stared at Yuan Jingfeng without blinking. This imposing manner seemed to be done to let Yuan Jingfeng know that he was not someone who could be easily manipted and could be fooled with a few words. However, Qiao si si was not that confident. Even though she and Wang Li had made ns and preparations, they were still afraid that yuan jing Feng would not be able to guard against it in time ande up with some dirty tricks. Yuan Jingfeng wasn¡¯t a kind person, so she was surprised that he had chosen a caf¨¦ as his location. The coffee shop had a lot of people, so there might not be anything fishy about it. However, once bitten, twice shy. No matter what he did, especially when he was here to see people like Yuan Jingfeng, he should be more careful. Yuan Jingfeng ordered three cups of coffee in advance. He had already expected her toe with Wang Li. Joesse thought to herself that it would be difficult to get this ¡®conversation¡¯ out of him, and that this recording pen might not be of much use. Yuan Jingfeng made a ¡°please¡± gesture and joesse noticed that he was getting closer to her. Being on high alert, she leaned back and her bag hit the seat, making a loud noise and attracting the attention of the people around her. Jossi was slightly embarrassed. She smiled politely and said ¡°sorry¡± to the people around her. Inparison, Yuan Jingfeng was probably even more embarrassed. His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he could only sheepishly retract it. The atmosphere between the three of them was very subtle. Yuan Jingfeng wanted to ease the tension, so he jokingly said,¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you two drinking? This coffee shop was very famous here. The coffee had a mellow taste and a long aftertaste. One would not be able to forget it after taking a sip. Could it be that the two of you are afraid that I¡¯ll put something inside?¡± His words exposed Qiao SI¡¯s thoughts. She exchanged nces with Wang Li and felt even more strange. They didn¡¯t have any intention of drinking it, and their rejection was very clear, but Yuan Jingfeng made such a joke. Could there really be something wrong with the coffee? Qiao si si felt that Yuan Jingfeng definitely did not have good intentions for this meeting, she just wanted to end it as soon as possible. Qiao si raised her eyebrows and signaled for Yuan Jingfeng to speak. ¡°I¡¯m sorry about what happened in the past,¡± Yuan Jingfeng said with a smile.¡±I¡¯m deeply guilty for causing trouble and hurt to Ms. Qiao ...¡± Yuan Jingfeng kept repeating his apology over and over again, not a single word that Qiao si si wanted to hear. She furrowed her brows and said,¡±both of our time is very precious. I¡¯ll have to trouble Mr. Yuan to be direct and get straight to the point.¡± Don¡¯t always beat around the bush, there¡¯s no need to apologize. What¡¯s the use of an apology?¡± Joes paused for a moment before continuing,¡±and I believe that Mr. Yuan didn¡¯t invite me out just to apologize, right?.¡± Yuan Jingfengughed and continued,¡±Then what else is there besides an apology? what else do I have to say? or rather, what would you like to hear, Ms. Qiao?¡± Yuan Jingfeng knew in his heart that Qiao si si did not want to hear her apology. To her, it was just some useless nonsense that would only make Qiao si angry and feel that he was just toying with her. Even though today¡¯s method was a little risky, since Joes had epted the invitation, the n was already half sessful. Yuan Jingfeng had predicted that Qiao si si would definitelye out. Qiao si wanted to find out something from him, but due to the unhappy past, Qiao Si was definitely on her guard. She would note alone, she would definitelye with her good friend Wang Li. Wang Li could tell that Yuan Jingfeng was trying to cover up his words. It was obvious that he was only apologizing and did not mention anything else. However, based on her instincts, she did not believe that Yuan Jingfeng had asked Joes toe out just to apologize. He was making a mountain out of a molehill. But ever since they entered, Yuan Jingfeng did not make any strange movements. He did not leave his seat, nor did he send any messages, which made them very suspicious. Joes¡¯s patience was almost worn out by Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s nonsense,¡±¡±What do I want to hear? In your opinion, Mr. Yuan should be very clear about his own motives. What¡¯s the point of ying Tai Chi here?¡± Yuan Jingfeng had a smile on his face the entire time, but it was hard to like. Instead, it made Qiao si si and Wang Li feel disgusted. He continued,¡±I¡¯ve been brooding over what happened before. I feel that it¡¯s very disrespectful and impolite to apologize to you without a formal apology. As for other things, I don¡¯t have anything else to say.¡± Joes¡¯s patience had run out. She sneered,¡±¡±I¡¯m the victim. What¡¯s done is done. Why talk about respect and courtesy? You¡¯re really good at Taji, it¡¯ll be a pity if you don¡¯t learn some Kung Fu. It¡¯s really baffling, extremely fake, and nauseating. ¡± He could tell that joesse was extremely angry, but it was in line with Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s intentions. This way, she would not be able to think of anything in a short period of time. After all, an angry person would not think too carefully. The n still had to be implemented as soon as possible. Joes was really on high alert. It would not be good if she came back to her senses after she left and all her previous efforts were wasted. ¡°Mr. Yuan is really an expert,¡± Wang Li said.¡±I can¡¯t figure him out.¡± Joes was not as friendly as before, and her attitude was cold. ¡°I¡¯ll ask Mr. Yuan onest time. Do you have anything else to do other than apologize?¡± Yuan Jingfeng spread out his hands and put on an innocent look,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re asking, Ms. Qiao. I just want to sincerely apologize to you.¡± Joes snorted coldly,¡¯then I¡¯ll have to thank you. I didn¡¯t expect you to have the time to apologize to me. ¡± After that, he stood up and left. Wang Li looked at Yuan Jingfeng unhappily and then left. The ¡®please¡¯ gesture he made earlier was also a test to see how much Jossi¡¯s wariness of him was. Rather than saying that Qiao sisi and Wang Li were wary of Yuan Jingfeng, it was more urate to say that they were wary of each other. After they left, Yuan Jingfeng looked at the three cups of cold coffee in front of him and revealed a smug smile. The n was considered half sessful, so it was worth it, wasn¡¯t it? Chapter 584

Although it waste at night, there were still some ces that disturbed the peace. Under the dim light, Yuan Jingfeng was pacing back and forth in the room. The sound of his footsteps was so ear-piercing at this moment. ¡°I can¡¯t let this go on. This Jossi isn¡¯t easy to deal with either. She¡¯s definitely suspecting me this time. What should I do ...?¡± Yuan Jingfeng mumbled to himself. He sat on the sofa quietly and lit a cigarette. ¡°It seems like we can only carry out the n ahead of time.¡± Yuan Jingfeng made up his mind. Under the smoke, Yuan Jingfeng felt that he had be even more Haggard. Things didn¡¯t go smoothly, making the n that wasn¡¯t perfect to begin with even worse. At the same time, detective Wen was not idle. He had long discovered many problems. Although he was only doing what he was paid to do, after all, they had known each other for a long time. He took extra care of joesse¡¯s transactions and reported to her as soon as there were any clues. Under the candlelight, the slightly drowsy joesse¡¯s eyes were still drowsy. After letting go of all the reservations she had during the day, she became even more charming and lovable. Detective Wen¡¯s heart stirred when he saw this. He told her the results of his investigation in full detail and added,¡±be more careful these days. Yuan Jingfeng has a lot of bad intentions, so be careful.¡± Even though he felt that there was something wrong, he did not know what Yuan Jingfeng was up to. He was shocked when he heard detective Wen¡¯s report. With a ¡°pa¡± sound, she identally knocked over the tea on the table. Detective Wen was also shocked by Joes¡¯s reaction, but he immediately reacted and sent someone to deal with it. He consoled and sent Jossi off. Yuan Jingfeng was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking gentlemanly as the breeze blew past him. He flipped through the menu casually, but his eyes were only focused on the entrance of the restaurant. ¡°You must be more careful when I¡¯m not by your side. I¡¯ll help you handle your situation at thepany.¡± Wang Li¡¯s expression of concern made joesse¡¯s heart warm up. ¡°I know. I¡¯ll be back as soon as I¡¯m done.¡± Joes agreed. A graceful and elegantdy appeared in his line of sight with unhurried steps. Yuan Jingfeng heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stood up to wee Qiao si with enthusiasm. ¡°Come, this way. This restaurant is famous for its sashimi. In order to sincerely express my apologies for my reckless behavior a few days ago, I¡¯m very happy that miss Qiao is willing to ept my invitation. ¡± As he spoke, he pulled out a chair for Joes and politely invited her to sit down. ¡°I also believe in your sincerity. If you have anything to say, just say it. You know I have to rush to work in a while. Thepany has a lot of business recently.¡± Joes did not drag things out, she wanted to leave him as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. ¡°I¡¯m very grateful for miss Qiao¡¯s presence. I won¡¯t say any more polite words. He randomly ordered. ¡°Here¡¯s the menu, take a look first,¡±before he could even finish his sentence, he passed the menu to joesse. Looking at the menu, joesse sighed to herself. This Yuan Jingfeng knew her taste and simply picked out her favorite dishes before ending the order. ¡°Come, I¡¯ll go get a drink first. What do you want to drink?¡± Yuan Jingfeng asked as he sized up Qiao si si, trying his best to control his movements so as not to make her feel ufortable. ¡°A cup of coffee will do.¡± Joes replied indifferently. ¡°Here, your coffee.¡± He passed it to Joes gently and pretended to identally touch her when he retracted his hand. Even though Joes had been watching his every move, she had overlooked this detail in such a natural atmosphere. He didn¡¯t notice that the locator had been ced on him. ¡°Today, let¡¯s put aside some of the things that happened before and enjoy this meal.¡± ¡°That would be for the best. Thank you for your invitation.¡± Joes replied elegantly, her gaze lingering on Yuan Jingfeng. She still did not dare to lower her guard. During the meal, Yuan Jingfeng did not do anything else. He only asked about Qiao SI¡¯s well-being as he ate, being extremely considerate. Joes was unmoved, she only politely answered Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s question. The meal ended quickly, and Joes took the opportunity to say goodbye.¡±It¡¯s about time. The food in this restaurant is delicious.¡± Thank you again for your invitation. I¡¯ll go to work now. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s no big deal, I¡¯ll send you. ¡± Yuan Jingfeng immediately took out his car keys and prepared to leave. ¡°No need, Zeyi¡¯s driver is waiting for me outside. I won¡¯t take up too much of your time. ¡± She turned around and left elegantly. For a moment, the air was still filled with Qiao si SI¡¯s fragrance. Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s anxious heart was finally put at ease, and he revealed a satisfied smile. When she saw that Qiao si si had reached thepany¡¯s entrance, Wang Li quickly put down the documents in her hands and rushed forward to hug Qiao si. She looked around and said sweetly,¡±I was so worried. You¡¯re finally back at thepany safely.¡± Joes also heaved a sigh of relief.¡±He can¡¯t do anything to me in broad daylight. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s driver is also waiting for me outside.¡± ¡°Look at you, you already have such a good boyfriend, but you still want to work with me. I¡¯ve sorted out your documents for you. Do it first, don¡¯t force yourself. ¡± Wang Li¡¯s tone of concern triggered Jossi¡¯s thoughts. Ever since he had joined thepany, Wang Li had shown him all sorts of care and concern. The memories of the two of them were still vivid in his mind. Although he had agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s request, he still could not let go of this good sister who always had him in her heart. Thinking of this, Joes¡¯s face was filled with happiness. He identally noticed some documents. This was quite a lot. He had to work overtime tonight to finish them. After encouraging himself, he began the day¡¯s work. ¡°It¡¯ste. Sisi, you should get off work and go home.¡± Wang Li jogged over to joesse from a distance. ¡°I want to get rid of these documents today. I can¡¯t let thepany down because of me. Lili, you can go back first.¡± ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be in such a hurry. If my mom didn¡¯te over tonight, I would definitely help you deal with it.¡± ¡°Go back and entertain Auntie. I can handle it. It¡¯ll be done soon.¡± One after another, thepany¡¯s colleagues left thepany, leaving only the security guard at the gate in the distance still lit up. Suddenly, a rustling sound rang in his ears, and he suddenly fell into darkness. ¡°Why is there a power outage all of a sudden ...¡± The corners of Jossi¡¯s mouth twitched ... It was silent all around, and only his own breathing in the air announced the atmosphere in the office. Very quickly, panic slowly engulfed joesse¡¯s entire body ... ¡°There¡¯s no power anyway. We can only do it tomorrow. ¡± Joes hinted to herself. Joes, who was preparing to leave, did not notice that danger was approaching her. Chapter 585

Joes stopped what she was doing and looked at her surroundings fearfully. Her surroundings were silent and pitch ck. She could not even see her own fingers. She swallowed nervously and fumbled forward, wanting to pick up her phone. However, just as she stood up, before she could touch her phone, she suddenly felt something in front of her, followed by a suffocating feeling. Before Joes could react, she lost consciousness. Yuan Jingfeng kept the towel that was filled with drugs and carried the unconscious Qiao si to the car that was prepared for him. The moonlight shone directly into the room. The room was empty and dark. There were a few hurried footsteps in the distance, and it did not take long for the room to fall into silence. After an unknown period of time, Jossi woke up and slowly opened her eyes. She felt a terrible headache and was in a daze. She shook her head hard to force herself to be clear-headed, and only then could she see her surroundings clearly. Joes realized that she was in apletely unfamiliar environment. She was probably in the suburbs. Her hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth. She could not speak. She instantly panicked and felt that something was wrong. It was all her fault for being careless. The thing she was most worried about had finally happened. She struggled a few times and found that the rope was tied very tightly. She couldn¡¯t move at all. She was so anxious that she wanted to cry. At this moment, she heard footstepsing from outside. Joes was trying her best to make her body hit the ground, making a sound. She saw a figure walking over. He had a burly figure, and under the hazy moonlight, she could not see his face. The footsteps got closer and closer to her. Joesse held her breath and listened carefully. After looking at the person who had arrived, Joes¡¯s heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss, and her mind went nk. Yuan Jingfeng walked in from outside and looked at her proudly, saying,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, miss Qiao. How have you been? my client asked me to take good care of you.¡± With that, he reached out his hand and touched Joes ¡®face. The moonlight shone in through the window and shone on Joes¡¯ face through the ss, making her look particrly delicate. He looked down slightly, and her cor moved up and down along with her breathing. Yuan Jingfeng swallowed his saliva, and as if struck by lightning, Qiao si hurriedly backed away to the wall behind her, shaking her head with all her might, tears flowing down her face. Yuan Jingfeng thought that it was quite interesting that the usually quick-witted and calm little girl was so frightened by him. He walked over and removed the cloth from her mouth, saying,¡±¡±As long as you¡¯re obedient, I¡¯ll definitely let you have a very happy time with me.¡± After he finished speaking, he looked at her with a cold smile. Joes steadied her mind and overcame the fear in her heart. She feigned a strong voice and asked,¡±¡±Who ordered you to kidnap me? Have you considered the consequences of your actions?¡± As Joes spoke, she tore the rope that bound her hands together in an attempt to free herself. In her heart, she silently thought of the names of all the people who might want to kill her. Who was so vicious that they wouldn¡¯t let him off? he hadn¡¯t done anything heartless before, so why was he so unlucky? he was already tired from working overtime in the office today, but now he had to suffer such a shock and danger at the same time. Just as Jossi was calcting the various possibilities in her mind, the voice that sent chills down her spine rang in her ears again. It had a hint of yfulness in it. ¡°Do you really want to know? Why don¡¯t you make a guess?¡± Joes raised her head and red at Yuan Jingfeng. ¡°Miss Qiao, don¡¯t look at me like that. I was just joking. You¡¯re so boring. You can¡¯t take a joke.¡± Yuan Jingfengughed evilly and paused for a moment,¡±since you want to know, I might as well tell you so that you can die knowing the truth. It¡¯s your mother, Liu Yun, who asked me toe and take good care of you.¡± Yuan Jingfeng said smugly. After he finished speaking, he put his arm around Qiao si SI¡¯s shoulder and kissed her. Joes screamed, but Yuan Jingfeng did not let her off. Just as she was about to kiss him, his phone rang. He let go of Joes, stood up slowly, picked up his phone, and walked out to answer the call. Joesse was so frightened earlier thatrge beads of sweat were flowing down her forehead and cheeks. Now, she had to find a way to escape. Otherwise, Yuan Jingfeng would definitely not let her off tonight. When she was struggling, she felt a piece of metal and secretly held it in her palm. Now, while Yuan Jingfeng was not around, she used the de to rub against the rope. She was so tired that her hands were sore. In addition to herck of energy, she was already very tired. She encouraged herself to persevere and sped up the rubbing of her hands. Yuan Jingfeng walked out of the door to answer the phone. After hanging up, he walked back in. Joes heard Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s footsteps and slowed down her movements. She stared into his eyes and said,¡±I can give you double the amount of money she gave you. Please don¡¯t hurt me. Don¡¯t you want money? if you hurt me, you¡¯ll end up in jail. It won¡¯t do you any good.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Jingfeng snorted coldly and said,¡±do you really think that I¡¯m doing this for money? it¡¯s just that your stepmother once begged me to spare her life when I was down and out. I¡¯m just repaying her kindness now, a life for a life.¡± Yuan Jingfeng paused for a moment before continuing,¡±Qiao si si, don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t be able to run away today. Just stay here obediently, it depends on my mood. This is the wilderness, no one wille to save you even if you scream your lungs out. We still have a lot of time tonight, I¡¯ll go get some food first, you stay here obediently and don¡¯t think about running away. Otherwise, I¡¯ll break your legs first.¡± After saying that, he turned around and walked out again. Joes heard the sound of the door being locked and the footsteps getting further and further away from her. At this moment, she had already freed herself from the rope in her hands. She endured the pain and untied the rope around her feet. She leaned against the wall and slowly stood up. She knew that she had to escape tonight, but the door was locked from the outside by Yuan Jingfeng, so she couldn¡¯t push it open from the inside. After waiting for a long time, joesse still did not hear the sound of Yuan Jingfeng returning. She picked up the stool on the ground and started smashing the window ss with all her might. However, her strength was too weak. Even if she used all her strength, she couldn¡¯t break it. She used all her strength again and again without giving up. Finally, she heard a crash and the ss shards flew all over the floor. She dragged her tired body and struggled to climb out of the window. A small piece of ss cut her arm, and she was in so much pain that she almost couldn¡¯t breathe. She knew that she had to get out of here. She couldn¡¯t just sit around and wait for her death. She couldn¡¯t fall into Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s hands again. She had to get out of here alive. She couldn¡¯t let Liu Yun have her way. Chapter 586

The next morning, Wang Li went to work as usual. At first, there was nothing unusual about her until she walked to Joes ¡®office. The office was in a mess. The coffee on the table was spilled everywhere, the chairs were overturned, and the vases were all broken. The ground was covered in torn paper scraps. Wang Li¡¯s mind went nk, and her handbag fell to the ground. She shook her head hard to get herself back to her senses. She roughly knew what had happened. Something had happened to Joes, and she was in grave danger. She quickly took out her phone from her bag and called Chen Anna. ¡°Hello, Sister li.¡± ¡°Anna, sisi seems to be in trouble.¡± Chen Anna clenched her cell phone tightly, her heart clenched. ¡°What happened?¡± Wang Li told her everything that she had just seen. Anna Chen furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought. To be able to break into thepany and take away Joes without being discovered after causing such a hugemotion, this person must be very familiar with the ce. It might even be someone close to her. Wang Li and Chen Anna discussed and decided to call the police first. They agreed to meet up and go to the police station to report the case together. At the entrance of the police station, Wang Li was already standing there. She was closer to the police station, so she arrived first. She clenched the straps of her handbag tightly and waited anxiously. After a while, Chen Anna also came over. She got out of the car and ran up. Perhaps she used too much force, but she was a little breathless. Wang Li looked at her and patted her back tofort her. ¡°Don¡¯t be too anxious. Sisi will be fine.¡± Chen Anna nodded. After she had adjusted her breathing, they went in together and roughly described the incident to the police. The male police officer nodded, indicating that he understood. ¡°Hurry up and send people to search for him. My friend is in great danger.¡± Chen Anna ced her hands on the table, her heart burning with anxiety. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we can¡¯t file a case if she has disappeared for less than 24 hours.¡± Chen Anna suddenly became angry and walked a little closer. He was a little agitated. ¡°After 24 hours, something must have happened to her. Just how did you guys do it?¡± The police officer looked at her. He still shook his head. ¡°MA ¡®am, please cooperate with our work. You can look for it yourself. After 24 hours, we will naturally send people to find your friend. Please wait patiently. ¡± Unable to file a case. Chen Anna¡¯s eyes were red with anger. Just as she was about to argue with him, Wang Li quickly stopped her. Chen Anna might be small in size, but she was quite strong. Wang Li had to use a lot of effort to get her into the car. Wang Li closed the door and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Chen Anna sat in the passenger¡¯s seat. She was still angry about what had just happened. She broke free from Wang Li¡¯s hand and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looked out of the window, her chest still rising and falling. If Wang Li had not held her back just now, she might have fought with the police officer. Wang Li pinched the space between her eyebrows and looked at Chen Anna. He pulled open the drawer in front of his car and took out a few tissues to pass to Jossi. ¡°Wipe it.¡± Chen Anna turned her head and took it. She wiped the sweat on her face in front of the mirror and smoothed the hair on her forehead. Then, he closed the mirror. ¡°What should we do next?¡± Wang Li thought about it and sighed. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. Let¡¯s tell Zheng Zeyi about this. ¡± ¡°Is there any use in telling him?¡± Chen Anna mumbled softly. She had never had a good impression of Zheng Zeyi. He was as cold as an Ice Mountain and would ignore anyone who spoke to him. Other than being a little patient with Joes. He did not know why Joes would take a fancy to a big block of wood like him. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he treated Joes quite well, one could tell that he really liked Joes. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t even bother to look at him. Although she thought this way, Chen Anna still took out her phone reluctantly and dialed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s number. The call was connected after a few rings. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. It was a very maic male voice, with a hint of calmness but not heavy. It sounded a little tired, but it was still very pleasant to listen to. ¡°Sisi is gone. She seems to have been kidnapped.¡± The other party paused for a moment. ¡°Speak clearly.¡± Chen Anna told him the whole story in great detail. That included the incident at the police station. ¡°They¡¯re really too much, but we can¡¯t file a case for 24 hours. They don¡¯t consider the safety of people at all. What if something happens to sisi? I¡¯m so angry. ¡± Chen Annained. There was no sound from the other side of the phone. Just when Chen Anna thought he was not listening and was about to hang up in anger, he spoke. ¡°I understand.¡± Yes, I understand. And then? Chen Anna still wanted to ask him what to do, but he had already hung up. Chen Anna looked at the screen of the phone that was gradually dimming. She didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. She put down the phone and sighed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What did he say?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t say anything, but I ... I think he¡¯ll go find sisi.¡± Chen Anna closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, thinking about something. After a while, she opened her eyes and sighed again. Wang Li looked at her in confusion. Chen Anna noticed her gaze and exined, ¡°Sometimes, I really want to drag Zheng Zeyi out and give him a good beating. He¡¯s so annoying.¡± Wang Li smiled helplessly and loosened her shoulders. Although Zheng Zeyi was a little unreasonable, he was still a good person. There was nothing to pick on about his looks. He was definitely someone who could charm arge number of people. He was also very capable. He was in charge of thepany at a young age. He was also very patient and gentle with Joes. Sigh, I hope he can find Jossi soon. After such a long time, Chen Anna and Wang Li were also a little tired, so they quietly rested. On the other side, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, and his ten fingers were inteced on the table. He did not expect that Joes would be kidnapped at this time. It seemed that he had not protected her enough. Who was so bold to even dare to touch his people? she was in a very dangerous situation, and he had to find her quickly. He took out his phone and made a call. ¡°Boss, what are your orders?¡± ¡°Send more people to look for Joes¡¯s whereabouts immediately. She¡¯s suspected to have been kidnapped and is in a very dangerous situation. Also, book the fastest flight, I need to rush back immediately. ¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Zheng Zeyi stood up. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the carsing and going on the street with a worried face. He was not afraid of anything. No matter what he encountered, he could be calm and face it calmly without frowning. However, he panicked when he was facing Jossi. He did not want her to be hurt at all. Zheng ze closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He turned around and prepared to leave. Chapter 587 - burn me alive

Chapter 587: Chapter 588 burn me alive!!

Yuan Jingfeng did not know that Qiao sisi had already escaped. He was wandering around the game, taking out his phone and making a call. ¡°I¡¯ve already caught him. What do you want to do with him now?¡± The corners of Liu Yun¡¯s lips curled up. She was extremely happy. She had long hated Qiao si to the core. Previously, because of Zheng Zeyi, she did not have the chance to make a move. Now that he was not around, he finally had the chance to take advantage of her. Hmph, isn¡¯t this joesse usually quite capable? let¡¯s see if she still has a chance to escape this time. ¡°Well done. Get rid of her. By the way, don¡¯t let her die too easily.¡± Yuan Jingfeng agreed. Yuan Jingfeng hung up the phone, took out a cigarette and lit it. He did not want to kill Joes, but he had no choice. Liu Yun had saved his life, and he owed her a favor. It was a pity that this girl had died an unnatural death at such a young age. ¡°What should I do to get rid of Joes?¡± Yuan Jingfeng blew out a beautiful smoke ring and stubbed out the cigarette. He set off to look for materials. He nned to burn Joes to death and destroy her corpse to get rid of all traces. Joesse did not know what Yuan Jingfeng was plotting and how he was going to deal with her. She was extremely nervous now. It was not easy for her to escape, so she must not be caught by him again. Yuan Jingfeng was definitely not a good person. The longer she stayed here, the more dangerous it would be. Chen Anna and the others should have found out that she was missing, but she had no way to contact them. Joes shook her head and tried to calm herself down. ¡°Take a deep breath. You¡¯ll be fine, Jossi. You¡¯ll be fine.¡± Joes consoled herself and calmed her mind. She endured the pain in her body and carefully observed her surroundings. There was no one around her and she did not know where she should run to. There was no longer any movement in the surroundings. Yuan Jingfeng should have left this ce and was quite a distance away. Joesse heaved a sigh of relief. She walked in the dark when she suddenly felt a shard fly up and cut her leg. It sank into her flesh, and blood oozed out of the wound. But at this moment, she couldn¡¯t care so much. She gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and pulled the fragment out. Fresh blood flowed out from the wound. Joes sat on the ground to rest for a while, then stood up with difficulty. There was no time to waste. Joes gritted her teeth and ran forward. She was so hungry that she did not have much strength left. She was forcing herself to hold on, hoping that she could escape sessfully. As for Yuan Jingfeng, he had already gathered a lot of firewood. He carried the firewood back to the house and put them all on the ground. He stood up and dusted off the dust on his hands. Everything was ready. However, when he entered, there was no one in the house. Joes was gone, and there were some bloodstains on the floor. ¡°F * ck!¡± Yuan Jingfeng cursed and clenched his fists in anger. The veins on his forehead popped out and he immediately turned around to look for Qiao si. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this little girl to have some ability. With such little effort, she managed to escape. Hehe, but how far can a weak woman like you run?¡± Yuan Jingfeng looked carefully at the footprints and blood she had left on the ground, then followed the trail and walked out. At that very moment, joesse had no more strength left in her. She felt dizzy as if she had lost too much blood. She could not move at all. She sat on the ground and leaned against a tree, panting heavily. She didn¡¯t know where she was or where to go. After resting for a while, she felt a little more clear-headed and was about to get up again when she heard some movement. It was the sound of a person¡¯s footsteps. Joes immediately held her breath as beads of sweat rolled down her face. Her heart was beating rapidly, and she did not dare to move, afraid that she would be discovered. ¡°Jossi, where are you?e out!¡± Joes shut her eyes tightly and did not dare to breathe too loudly. She was praying in her heart that she would not be discovered. After a while, Jossi listened carefully, but there seemed to be no more movement. ¡°He probably didn¡¯t notice me.¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief and slowly opened her eyes. Immediately after, a magnified man¡¯s face came into view. Joes¡¯s heart was in her throat, and she could not help but scream. Yuan Jingfeng stood up straight andughed. He said in a sarcastic tone,¡±¡±Jossi, you¡¯re really amazing. I¡¯ve underestimated you. You wanted to run away when I wasn¡¯t around? Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± Joes¡¯s body trembled as she shook her head and backed away. Yuan Jingfeng closed in on her. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Joes¡¯s voice could not help but tremble, and so did her shoulders. Yuan Jingfeng squatted down and looked at Qiao si si. ¡°Jossi, I really didn¡¯t expect that even a rope wouldn¡¯t be able to tie you up. You¡¯ve really made me see you in a new light. Don¡¯t worry, this is the wilderness. No one wille here. You should give up on that idea. ¡± Joes was stunned. Yuan Jingfeng pulled Joes up and she almost fell down. She realized that her stomach was hurting. Following that, Joes was brought back to where she was before and her hands and feet were tied up again. She no longer had any chance to escape and looked at Yuan Jingfeng. Yuan Jingfeng tied Qiao si to a pir andid some mmable branches and straw on the ground. He poured some fuel on it, threw away the bottle in his hand, and exhaled. ¡°Are you nning to burn me alive?¡± Joes looked at him in pain. Her voice was very soft, her breathing was weak, her lips were pale, and the pain in her stomach was getting more and more obvious. She was pregnant and tired, so she could not bear this kind of torment. ¡°What else?¡± Yuan Jingfeng crossed his arms in front of his chest. Joes did not say a word and closed her eyes in resignation. A few drops of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She did not expect to leave this world so soon. All her efforts had been in vain. In the end, she still lost. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face shed past, and Qiao SI¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She was pregnant with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s child. It was a pity that the child would never have the chance to see his father again. Thinking of this, her tears flowed down like a string of beads, unable to stop. Yuan Jingfeng looked at Qiao sisi and suddenly wavered a little. Qiao sisi was a good person and was very suitable to be friends with. However, Liu Yun had ordered him to kill her. Liu Yun had saved his life, so she was his benefactor. He owed her a favor. Yuan Jingfeng hesitated for a moment, but he still took out a lighter from his pocket. However, he did not make his next move. As Joes was too weak, she had fainted. Her face was still covered with traces of tears. Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s heart was still struggling, but in the end, he gave in. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them, and lit the lighter. Chapter 588

The smoke gradually dispersed, and a bright me jumped out, gradually heating up. Joes only felt her skin burning painfully. Joes gritted her teeth, her entire body was dirty. When he was running away, some sharp thorns and branches had cut his skin. The blood that seeped out was mixed with dust, and it began to hurt when it was burned by the fire. However, this pain was negligiblepared to the fire that was about to transfer to his body. Yuan Jingfeng was standing right in front of her, his eyes slightly dark. It was obvious that Joes¡¯s previous actions had angered him, and he had no intention of holding back. He directly went up to her and dragged her bound feet, walking towards the fire. Joes had already exhausted her strength and was unable to struggle free now that she was bound. She could only watch as she got closer and closer to the fire before being thrown into the fire by Yuan Jingfeng. She closed her eyes and seemed to see Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi kicked Yuan Jingfeng over and caught the woman who was about to fall into the fire. Zheng ze¡¯s thumping heart finally found a ce to calm down when she fell into his arms. Then, she immediately put him down and loosened the rope around his hands and feet. Joes was prepared to die, but she did not feel the burning sensation. Instead, she felt a familiar and warm hug. She opened her eyes with a slight tremble and saw the man who had untied her. She was a little stunned, then her tense mood rxed. Her eyes were slightly red.¡±Zeyi ...¡± ¡°Sisi.¡± Zheng ze raised his hand and touched her hair. His eyes were filled with heartache as he gently pulled her into his arms.¡±Sorry, I¡¯mte.¡± Jossi leaned on his shoulder and shook her head. She tugged at the man¡¯s cor and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t say that. Be careful of Yuan Jingfeng ...¡± As her voice faded, Joes fainted. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes shed with annoyance. Yuan Jingfeng had already run away when he was kicked over. He was concerned about Qiao sisi and did not chase after him. At this moment, he carried the woman and quickly returned to the car. All he wanted to do was to race to the hospital. Liu Yun was humming a little tune at home, waiting for Yuan Jingfeng to bring back the good news. However, when she received the call, her expression gradually turned ugly as the other party recounted the events that had happened. In the end, it turned into panic. It was supposed to be a foolproof n, but who could find out if he died in a fire in the wilderness? However, things were different now. Once Zheng ze found out about Yuan Jingfeng, what if he ratted her out? Although Yuan Jingfeng had agreed to repay her at the start, a human¡¯s heart was hard to fathom. What if he changed his mind for the sake of his future? At that time, not only would she have to go to jail, but she would also have to bear Zheng Zeyi¡¯s anger. Liu Yun¡¯s body trembled at the thought. No. She couldn¡¯t just sit and wait for death. It was as if Liu Yun had found herst straw of hope. She stood up and immediately contacted her men. No matter what, she had to get into the police station and kill Yuan Jingfeng. Only the dead could shut up forever. Even though she had saved him in the past. Liu Yun¡¯s eyes shed with determination. The atmosphere in the corridor was heavy. Zheng ze stood in front of the operating room. There were still bloodstains on his sleeves that had not been washed. His expression was obviously not very good. Otherwise, no one would not even dare to voice their worries. Chen Anna was the same. She was so anxious that she didn¡¯t want to say anything except to wait quietly. Because a nurse had alreadye out to ask for the signature, the patient was bleeding a little down there when he went in. He almost had a miscarriage and his condition was not very stable ... Her heart ached at the thought of her best friend being frightened and having a child in her stomach, not to mention that Zheng Zeyi ... Might be even more miserable than her. She raised her head to look at the man who had been standing there. His hands drooped, and his fingers were clenched tightly. However, his eyes were fixed on the words ¡®in the middle of the operation¡¯. He even postponed a lot of meetings and discussions. He just stood there and waited for the red light to go out. She sighed in her heart. The cold and heavy atmospherested for another half an hour after she received the news that Yuan Jingfeng had been sessfully captured. The hospital bed was pushed out. Following the doctor¡¯s words,¡±the patient is fine, both mother and child are safe¡±, everyone immediately saw Joes ¡®pale face. ¡°Sisi.¡± Chen Anna immediately went up to the bed and was about to cry. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s gaze rxed slightly. He looked at the woman¡¯s face longingly, then looked at the doctor to understand the situation and things to take note of. After he was done asking, he ordered some suitable food to be prepared, then went to the ward that joesse was in. There was a sense of urgency between his brows. He wanted to see her immediately. Otherwise, his uneasy heart seemed to be hanging in the air without any assurance. He pushed open the door to the ward. Jossi had not woken up yet. Her quiet and pale face made his heart ache for no reason. The doctor said that the patient was just unconscious. The pregnant woman had used up too much energy and strength, so she might need to sleep for a while. He walked over.¡±You can go back first. I want to be alone with her for a while.¡± He was talking to Chen Anna. Chen Anna made way for Zheng ze as soon as he walked in. She thought about it and felt that there was no need for her to get involved in such a scary couple who were seekingfort.¡±Alright, let me know if sisi wakes up.¡± She nodded and went out. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He sat down and held Joes ¡®hand. He gazed at her beautiful face and touched her face, eyes, and nose from time to time. Not long after, Jossi was awoken by his touch. The two of them looked at each other in confusion. Qiao si si did not realize what had happened, but Zheng Zeyi realized that Qiao si si ... Had probably been awakened by his touch? He stared at her, then leaned over and nted a kiss on her still confused eyes. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± ¡°He¡¯s ... He¡¯s awake. ¡± Joesse stammered a little. When she saw the smirk on the man¡¯s face, she suddenly had a bad feeling ... When her subordinates brought her food, Joes was covered in her nket. She only popped her head out after the servants were sent away and red at Zheng Zeyi angrily. She was still in the hospital! Zheng Zeyi smiled and patted her head. At this moment, a call came in. He nced at it and picked it up. The moment Joes got into trouble, he immediately sent people out to pay close attention to the actions of those who were rted to Joes. Now that there was a call, it meant that there was a lead. However, the news that came still made him a little surprised. He actually wanted to go to the police station to silence her? The matter had already been exposed. He muttered to himself for a moment. At this moment, he wanted to apany Joes even more, but he also knew that this matter had to be resolved by him. Especially when this person wanted to take Jossi¡¯s life. Zheng ze gave Anna Chen a call and told her that Joes had woken up and coulde over to apany her. Naturally, Anna Chen wanted to and immediately agreed. He hung up the phone. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon,¡± As Zheng ze spoke, his thin lips pressed against Qiao SI¡¯s forehead. Chapter 589

Yuan Jingfeng initially thought that Liu Yun wouldn¡¯t be so decisive, but when he saw the people in front of him pointing their knives at him, he instantly understood that he was just a chess piece that shouldn¡¯t have existed. ¡°This Is the Police station. If you do anything to me, the police will not let you off.¡± Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s eyes were fixed on the person in front of him who had been pressing him more and more for the past two days, and a trace of fear appeared on his face. However, the people in front of him didn¡¯t seem to hear what he said at all. They pressed on even more, and one of them directly rushed over with a dagger. Yuan Jingfeng squatted down and dodged the attack, but when he saw that the other person was about to charge at him, he subconsciously raised his hand to block, and the dagger directly pierced his arm. ¡°Men,e!¡± Yuan Jingfeng clutched his injured arm and wanted to run back the way he came, but when he looked around, he realized that he had already been taken away from the police station. ¡°How much did Liu Yun pay you to kill me? I¡¯ll give you double the amount. As long as you let me go, I¡¯ll give you however much you want. ¡± The wound on Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s arm was still bleeding, and his clothes were already dyed red. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, either because of the wound or because he was afraid. Hearing Yuan Jingfeng¡¯s words, the two of them did not seem to have any intention of changing their minds and continued to approach him slowly. Yuan Jingfeng, who had not eaten for a few days and was injured, was already a little unconscious. Just as he was about to give up hope, he heard a ¡°bang¡± and one of the men fell to the ground. Yuan Jingfeng could vaguely see a few figures running over, but he fainted before he could see their faces clearly. ¡°Boss, he¡¯s fainted.¡± After taking care of the two men who were pretending to be police, Zheng Zeyi walked over to the unconscious Yuan Jingfeng and frowned.¡±¡±We¡¯re still a littlete, but fortunately, his life isn¡¯t in danger. Take him back and let the doctor take a good look at him. This man can¡¯t die.¡± ¡°Boss, he¡¯s a criminal from the police station. Is it okay for us to take him away like this? Wouldn¡¯t it be bad for you if the police were to me you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no ce in this world that I can¡¯t take away. Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ve already spoken to the police, they won¡¯t stop me. ¡± Zheng ze could tell that his subordinate¡¯s worry was nothing. It would have been best to leave this matter to the police, but it seemed like the police couldn¡¯t even keep a watch on a criminal. He might as well investigate it himself. When Yuan Jingfeng woke up and realized that he was in the hospital, there was no trace of surprise in his eyes. He was not a fool. Since Liu Yun was so anxious to silence him, it meant that someone was investigating this matter. Since that was the case, that person would not let anything happen to him so easily. He was right. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± The nurse who was getting the drip asked with a smile when she saw Yuan Jingfeng wake up. ¡°Excuse me, where is the person who sent me here?¡± ¡°You mean that gentleman! He had something to do and left, but he left you a business card and a number to contact him when you wake up. ¡± Yuan Jingfeng followed the nurse¡¯s hand and looked over. He picked up the note on the bedside table and smiled. It seemed like he really had no other choice. If he wanted to live, it seemed like the only way was to call this number. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m looking for President Zheng.¡± ¡± 8 p.m. At the MUS bar.¡± Before Yuan Jingfeng could say anything, the other party hung up. ¡°Nurse, please help me get discharged!¡± Yuan Jingfeng went to the bar as promised that night! As soon as he entered, he saw Zheng Zeyi sitting at the side. Although he had not interacted much with him before, he had seen him before, so he could recognize him easily. ¡°You¡¯re here? Sit. ¡± Zheng Zeyi pointed at the sofa as he saw Yuan Jingfeng walking over. ¡°President Zheng, it¡¯s not the first time we¡¯ve met. If you have something to say, just say it! You¡¯re the one who gave me my life, so please tell me what you need. ¡± Yuan Jingfeng was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Since Zheng Zeyi had saved his life this time, she must return the favor. ¡°I just want to know, who is the person behind you?¡± Zheng Zeyi stared at Yuan Jingfeng and asked coldly. ¡°President Zheng, of course, I can tell you about this. But before I say it, I still have a question that I want to know. I hope you can answer it for me.¡± Yuan Jingfeng stared straight into Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes as he spoke. ¡°What question?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. ¡°How can you be so sure that there¡¯s someone behind me? Why can¡¯t it be a personal grudge between me and miss Qiao?¡± ¡°Personal grudges? Yuan Jingfeng, I hope you don¡¯t y any tricks in front of me. After all, if I can save you, I can make you disappear. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was not a patient person. If Yuan Jingfeng continued to waste his time like this, he could not guarantee what he would do. ¡°President Zheng, since I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here to work with you. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve already guessed who the person behind me is. It¡¯s Liu Yun. I was willing to help Liu Yun because she saved my life before, so I wanted to repay her kindness. But I didn¡¯t expect something like this to happen. Not only did this woman not help me, she even wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river and send someone to kill me.¡± Zheng Zeyi had more or less guessed it. He narrowed his eyes slightly.¡±Yuan Jingfeng, you know your current situation. Other than trusting me, you don¡¯t seem to have any other choice. The reason why I kept you here was because I wanted to hear from you personally who the mastermind is. There¡¯s another important reason. After such a long time, you¡¯re considered a talent. Are you willing to work for me?¡± ¡°President Zheng, can you really forgive me for what I did to you and miss Qiao?¡± Yuan Jingfeng looked at Zheng Zeyi in surprise. Zheng Zeyi shook his head.¡±It¡¯s impossible for me to forgive you. However, I¡¯m not a person who can separate my private life from my work. I just don¡¯t want to miss out on a talented subordinate. As for the mistakes you¡¯ve made, you¡¯ll have to slowly make up for them in the future!¡± Yuan Jingfeng immediately knelt in front of Zheng Zeyi.¡±¡±President Zheng, I really didn¡¯t know that you were such a magnanimous person. It was my bad judgment that I offended you before. I¡¯m willing to follow you and do anything for you in the future.¡± ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to say these useless things. I called you over this time because I have an important matter to give you.¡± When Zheng Zeyi said this, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He would not let anyone who provoked him off easily. Chapter 590

Chapter 590: Why do you say you don¡¯t know me?

Trantor: 549690339

Liu Yun trembled with rage as she listened to the news brought back by the Man in ck. ¡°What did you just say? Not only was Yuan Jingfeng alive, but he had also been rescued by Zheng Zeyi? What do I feed you for? You can¡¯t even do such a small thing. ¡± The Man in ck listened to Liu Yun¡¯s furious insults and remained silent. ¡°I¡¯m so angry. Yuan Jingfeng will definitely exin everything to Zheng Zeyi. Wouldn¡¯t that mean I¡¯m finished? No, definitely not. ¡± Liu Yun¡¯s entire body trembled in fear. She frantically picked up her phone and dialed Ma Shan¡¯s number. Ma Shan had be herst hope. ¡°Hello, who¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Give the phone to your wife. I have something to talk to her about. Hurry up.¡± Liu Yun¡¯s anxious voice could be heard through the phone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! Our Madam went out to y cards today and isn¡¯t home. Do you want to yter?¡± The Butler rejected her wlessly. Ma Shan took a sip of tea and signaled the Butler to hang up the phone. ¡°Madam, what are you doing?¡± The Butler looked at Ma Shan in confusion. She was clearly at home, so why did she ask him to lie? ¡°That¡¯s enough. You don¡¯t have to worry about this anymore. By the way, don¡¯t tell anyone about what happened today, not even the old master. If anyone other than the two of us finds out, I¡¯ll definitely teach you a lesson.¡± Liu Yun must havee to find him at this time about Qiao sisi¡¯s kidnapping. She had long heard about Yuan Jingfeng being taken away by Zheng Zeyi. Hence, it seemed like Liu Yun¡¯s call came at the right time. Both of them were supposed to be using each other, so why should she drag him into this? After hanging up the phone, Liu Yun copsed onto the sofa. She should have expected this day toe. ¡°Go and prepare a car for me. You have to be fast. By the way, don¡¯t alert anyone.¡± Liu Yun pointed at the Man in ck in front of her. The Man in ck nodded and left. Liu Yun immediately returned to her room and put all the valuable things into a bag. She took it and ran downstairs. Zheng ze brought Yuan Jingfeng to the police station to report the case and immediately brought the police to the Qiao family¡¯s residence. ¡°He ran away.¡± Zheng Zeyi could not find Liu Yun even after searching the entire Qiao family¡¯s residence. He frowned. It seemed like Liu Yun had already gotten the news and ran away. However, she would not be moving too quickly. ¡°Mr. Police, please arrange for people to go to all the train stations and airports for a big search. We can¡¯t let Liu Yun escape.¡± Zheng Zeyi had finally found evidence that could be used to use Liu Yun. He could not let her off so easily. He had to take revenge for Qiao sisi. Zheng Zeyi checked Liu Yun¡¯s house carefully and realized that her passport was indeed missing. If Liu Yun wanted to escape, she would definitely choose the fastest mode of transportation. Hence, it was very likely that she had gone to the airport. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the nearest airport. ¡± Liu Yun had disguised herself in the car to ensure that she would not be easily recognized. Only then did she get off the car with a peace of mind and went to collect her ticket. He sat at the side and waited for his ticket to be checked. Time passed by. Just as he was about to go and check his ticket, the airport broadcast suddenly sounded. ¡°Attention ticket inspectors, there¡¯s a female suspect named Liu Yun at the airport right now. Take extra precautions and don¡¯t let her board the ne.¡± Upon hearing this, Liu Yun retracted her hand that was about to hand over her identification. The staff beside her looked at her in confusion. ¡°Miss, do you still want to board? The ne is about to take off. ¡± Liu Yun shook her head.¡±I¡¯m sorry, I just remembered that I have something else to do. I won¡¯t be boarding the ne. I¡¯m sorry.¡± He would definitely be recognized if he handed over his id at this time, so he had better go back and think of a way! ¡°Madam, the ne is about to take off, aren¡¯t you going up?¡± Just as Liu Yun turned around, she heard a deep voice behind her. ¡°Yuan Jingfeng, why are you here?¡± Liu Yun turned around and saw the person. His heart suddenly trembled, but he only revealed a surprised expression. ¡°You¡¯re surprised to see me still alive, right?¡± Yuan Jingfeng sneered as he stared at Liu Yun. ¡°Yuan Jingfeng, I¡¯m not bad at taking you around. You won¡¯t do anything to harm me, will you?¡± ¡°Yup! You¡¯ve been treating me well, so well that it¡¯s not enough for me to risk my life for you, yet you¡¯ve sent people to kill me. Liu Yun, I thought you were a kind person, but now it seems that you¡¯re not worth my life!¡± Liu Yun looked at Yuan Jingfeng and felt that he was a stranger. ¡°Yuan Jingfeng, don¡¯t forget that I saved your life before. You can¡¯t do this to me.¡± ¡°Auntie Liu, you¡¯re dressed so well at the airport. Where are you going? I don¡¯t know if you can tell me, or I can give you a ride on my private jet. It¡¯s notfortable to squeeze in the economy ss with others here. ¡± Zheng Zeyi walked over and stared at Liu Yun as he spoke. When Liu Yun saw Zheng Zeyi, she knew that she would not be able to escape today. ¡°Auntie Liu, I think you shoulde with me to the police station first!¡± Zheng ze waved his hand and two police officers came over to drag her away. At the police station, Liu Yun refused to admit that she had kidnapped Qiao si si. She kept saying that Yuan Jingfeng was making false usations. ¡°Mr. Zheng, do you have any other evidence? otherwise, we really can¡¯t convict you!¡± Zheng Zeyi thought about it and whispered something into the police officer¡¯s ear. The police officer nodded and left. ¡°What do you want? I¡¯ve already said that I don¡¯t know anything about the kidnapping. What do you want?¡± ¡°Ms. Liu, don¡¯t worry. We naturally believe that you are innocent. But since you havee to our police station as a suspect, we naturally have to find someone to take you out. Do you have any friends or family that cane and exin it to you?¡± Liu Yun did not even think twice before addressing Ma Shan. Zheng ze got the police to contact MA Shan. When Ma Shan heard that they were going to the police station, she immediately rified her rtionship with Liu Yun and said that she did not know her at all. ¡°What? She doesn¡¯t even recognize me? How could she not know me? we did all these things together, so what right does she have to say that she doesn¡¯t know me?¡± Liu Yun said in a near-crazy manner. ¡°Ms. Liu, do you mean that you admit that you have done these things?¡± The police officer asked. Only then did Liu Yun realize what she had just said. She was already feeling a little out of her mind,¡±No, I didn¡¯t do this. It¡¯s all Ma Shan¡¯s fault. It¡¯s all her fault.¡± Chapter 591

¡°Liu Yun, calm down. You said that this matter is rted to Ma Shan. Do you have any evidence?¡± The police officer nced at Zheng Zeyi, then turned to ask Liu Yun. No matter what, Ma Shan was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stepmother, so she had to be careful before making a decision. ¡°Evidence? Of course, I have evidence. Ma Shan and I did all these things together. Why are you only arresting me? arrest her!¡± Zheng Zeyi walked up to her calmly and pinched Liu Yun¡¯s chin.¡±¡±Liu Yun, you should know that you have to pay a price for lying.¡± Liu Yun sneered,¡±Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯ve already brought me here. Do you think I still have to lie?¡± If that Ma Shan wants to burn the bridge after crossing it, then don¡¯t me me. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not look angry at all. He said to the police officer beside him,¡±¡±If that¡¯s the case, then please invite him over!¡± ¡°Mr. Zheng, Are you sure? This woman might be a little out of her mind right now, and what she said might not be true. Why don¡¯t we wait until she¡¯s sober and clear-headed?¡± Zheng Zeyi repeated with certainty,¡±¡±Mr. Police officer, I¡¯m very sure. You¡¯re a police officer, so you have to handle this fairly, right?¡± Seeing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude, the police had no choice but to send someone to the Zheng family. Ma Shan was feeling extremely uneasy because of Liu Yun¡¯s matter. Although Liu Yun would not have any concrete evidence, she had indeed done it and she still felt a little guilty. ¡°Madam, the police are here.¡± The Butler walked to Ma Shan in a panic. Ma Shan¡¯s body trembled as she asked,¡±what?¡± Why are the police here?¡± ¡°Madam, we¡¯ll have to trouble you toe with us! We¡¯re investigating a kidnapping case that seems to be rted to you, and we need you toe back with us to make a statement. ¡± The police didn¡¯t care if Ma Shan agreed or not. They went over and cuffed her. However, they were more polite since this was the Zheng family¡¯s reputation. ¡°I¡¯m not going to the police station. I don¡¯t know anything about the kidnapping case. I didn¡¯t do it. You can¡¯t nder me. I¡¯m not going. ¡± When Ma Shan heard that they were going to the police station, she immediately started to struggle. However, the police did not give her a chance to break free and took her to the police station. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, what are you doing here? You¡¯re the one who framed me for kidnapping, right? I¡¯ll definitely tell the old master when I get back and let him see his son¡¯s true colors. ¡± Ma Shan was already very emotional, but when she saw Zheng Zeyi, she immediately exploded. She felt that she was only here today because of Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t get too worked up. I¡¯ll bring you to meet someone first. Then, you¡¯ll know if I¡¯m the one who framed you. Bring him over.¡± Ma Shan was dragged into the interrogation room. When she saw Liu Yun sitting there, she was stunned. He immediately ran over excitedly,¡±it¡¯s you?¡± You¡¯re framing me? Liu Yun, I¡¯ve always treated you well, why would you want to harm me?¡± ¡°Harm you? Ma Shan, you have to speak with your conscience. What have I done to you? You¡¯re the one who burned the bridge after crossing it, you¡¯re the one who wanted to kill me. Since I can¡¯t live well, you can¡¯t either. ¡± Liu Yun red at Ma Shan coldly as the two women continued to quarrel in the interrogation room. ¡°Shut up, Liu Yun. You said that this matter is rted to Ma Shan. Do you have any evidence?¡± The police came in and asked. ¡°Of course there is. Joes witnessed the entire incident. Won¡¯t you know if you ask her toe over and take a look? My words might not be convincing, but she¡¯s the victim. You guys should believe her, right?¡± Liu Yun looked at Ma Shan and sneered. Ma Shan¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of panic. Even though she had heard that Joes was still unconscious, she was still a little afraid of the situation. It would have been fine if he had not mentioned Joes, but the moment he did, Zheng Zeyi could not help but feel the anger in his body burst out. ¡°Liu Yun, who gave you the right to mention her? sisi is still in the hospital because of you selfish people, yet you still have the cheek to mention her.¡± When the police saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reaction, they immediately went up and patted him on the shoulder. The interrogation room was already in a mess. If Zheng ze was added in, the room would probably explode. ¡°Yeah! Liu Yun, you clearly know that sisi is still unconscious, but you still said that on purpose. You¡¯re clearly trying to frame me. ¡± Ma Shan chimed in. ¡°Zeyi, I know I¡¯ve done a lot of despicable things, but at a time like this, I won¡¯t lie to you.¡± Upon hearing Liu Yun¡¯s words, Ma Shan¡¯s lips curled into a smile.¡±¡±Liu Yun, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you mean. Our families may have some financial cooperation, but that¡¯s only between President Qiao and my old master. We don¡¯t even know each other, right? Furthermore, what grudge do I have against Joes to harm her?¡± ¡°Liu Yun, I used to think that you were such a quiet and gentle person. I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person. Everyone knows that you¡¯re bent on getting the Qiao family¡¯s inheritance. You¡¯ve long disliked that youngdy. You¡¯re still trying to frame me. You said that I did the kidnapping with you. Why don¡¯t you tell me what my motive is? Was it to help you?¡± Ma Shan was indeed willing to do this to help Liu Yun. ¡°You ... Ma Shan, you were the one who said that you wanted to work with me. You can¡¯t just turn your back on me now, can you?¡± Liu Yun was about to pass out from anger. ¡°Alright, stop fighting. Liu Yun, since you don¡¯t have any other evidence, we can only wait for Jossi to wake up before we can investigate this matter.¡± Ma Shan looked at Liu Yun arrogantly before turning around and saying,¡±¡±In that case, can I leave now, Mr. Police officer?¡± The police exchanged a look and nodded.¡±¡±ording to the rules, you can leave now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. By the way, when you investigate a case in the future, remember to arrest people when you have evidence. Otherwise, you might frame a good person and let the real murderer seed.¡± After Ma Shan finished speaking, she smiled at Liu Yun. Liu Yun¡¯s eyes were almost bleeding as she stared at Ma Shan. ¡°Mr. Police, you have to believe me. She¡¯s really the murderer. You can¡¯t let a real murderer out. Something will happen.¡± ¡°Alright, Liu Yun, before the truth is revealed, you can stay in the detention center! Don¡¯t worry, when Jossi wakes up, if what you said is true, we will definitely not let any of the murderers get away with it. ¡± Liu Yun was taken away after she finished speaking. Zheng Zeyi had an indifferent expression on his face the entire time and did not say a word. ¡°Mr. Zheng, do you think this is okay?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded.¡±Mr. Policeman, I have a small request.¡± ¡°What request?¡± ¡°I hope you can send two people to follow Ma Shan.¡± Chapter 592

Chapter 592: The medicine with strong irritation

¡°Mr. Zheng, no matter what, Ma Shan is still your stepmother. Do you really believe Liu Yun¡¯s words?¡± Zheng Zeyi nced at the police. ¡°I don¡¯t believe anyone¡¯s words, I only believe in evidence,¡± he said coldly. ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± The police saw that Zheng Zeyi did not want to say much to him, so he kept his mouth shut. Although Ma Shan managed to escape, she also knew the severity of the situation. She immediately went to find Zheng Zeyu after she left. ¡°You said the police came to find you today?¡± Zheng Zeyu asked in surprise when he heard what Ma Shan said. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s all that Liu Yun¡¯s fault. She¡¯s really a pig brain. She was betrayed by her own men, so she dragged me down with her. Luckily, Jossi is still unconscious, so there¡¯s no evidence.¡± Zheng Zeyu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Everything was linked to this. If something happened to Ma Shan, he would have to bear the me. However, he was not stupid enough to push Ma Shan out of the picture. No matter what, Ma Shan was his mother. ¡°Then let¡¯s make sure she never wakes up. As long as Joes doesn¡¯t wake up, no one in this world will know our secret.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes shot out a dark and cold look, causing Ma Shan to shiver uncontrobly. ¡°Are we really going to do this?¡± Ma Shan asked. ¡°Why?¡± Zheng Zeyu smiled and asked,¡±are you scared?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, it¡¯s just, just ...¡± ¡°Mom, we can only do this at this point. Don¡¯t hesitate anymore. If we don¡¯t make Jossi shut up, we¡¯ll be the ones in trouble!¡± Mom, you don¡¯t want to go in either, do you?¡± Zheng Zeyu saw Ma Shan¡¯s hesitation and went over to hold her shoulders. ¡°But, but what should we do?¡± Ma Shan asked after calming down. ¡°It¡¯s very simple. We only need one doctor. ¡± Zheng Zeyu said coldly. He had a million ways to make Qiao sisi shut up forever. ¡°Zeyu, you must be careful! This time, Zheng Zeyi must have started to suspect me, so don¡¯t let him find out anything. ¡± Zheng Zeyu nodded and said,¡± I know. ¡± Ma Shan listened to Zheng Zeyu¡¯s instructions and came to the hospital after a series of disguises. She found Qiao sisi¡¯s ward and saw a doctor about to enter, so she immediately ran over. ¡°Um, are you doctor li? Can we talk further?¡± ¡°And you are? I¡¯m going to check the patient¡¯s body. Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Ma Shan looked around and pulled the doctor to the side. ¡°No, Who are you? What do you want to do? I¡¯ll call security!¡± The doctor looked at Ma Shan with slight anger. Ma Shan took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to the doctor. She smiled gently.¡±¡±Doctor li, don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯m here to discuss a business deal with you. I know that your wife has a brain tumor and needs to go abroad for treatment. I don¡¯t think you can afford it now.¡± ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Doctor li asked with a slightly gloomy expression. ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything, I just want to help you.¡± Ma Shan said with a smile. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Doctor li was about to leave after he finished speaking. Ma Shan¡¯s unhurried voice was heard.¡±Doctor Li, you don¡¯t need my help, but your wife doesn¡¯t need it either? Do you really have the heart to let your wife die at such a young age because of your ipetence?¡± Hearing her words, Dr. Li stopped. ¡°We don¡¯t even know each other. Why should you help me? and why should I believe that you have the ability to help me? this is not a small sum.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s a good question. Perhaps I can¡¯t help you with other things, but I can help you with money. There¡¯s a credit card in the envelope in your hand, you can swipe it as you wish.¡± Ma Shan smiled and walked to doctor Li¡¯s side. She patted her shoulder and said,¡±¡±Doctor Li, I know you love your wife very much, so as long as you give this to miss Qiao, the money will be yours. After it¡¯s done, I¡¯ll get someone to send you abroad.¡± Doctor li held the envelope in his hand tightly. His professional ethics did not allow him to do so, but his wife really needed the money now. The contradiction in his heart made him breathless. ¡°It¡¯s okay, doctor li. You don¡¯t have to rush to answer me. I¡¯ll wait for your news.¡± Ma Shan said with a smile. ¡°Will this medicine be fatal?¡± Doctor li asked as she clenched the small bottle in her hand. Ma Shan turned to look at doctor li and said with a sinister look,¡±¡±You¡¯re a doctor. Won¡¯t you know if it¡¯s fatal if you see it for yourself? Don¡¯t worry! It¡¯s just a drug that people can¡¯t open their mouths to. It¡¯s not fatal. ¡± Doctor li sniffed the bottle and nodded after some consideration.¡±Remember what you said.¡± It had been a long time since Qiao SI¡¯s illness had taken effect. Even though she had not woken up, she seemed to be much better. Zheng ze decided to bring her back to recuperate. ¡°Doctor, how is she?¡± ¡°Mr. Zheng, don¡¯t worry! Miss Qiao¡¯s body is recovering very well, but she¡¯s still unconscious because of the excessive blood loss. However, I believe she¡¯ll wake up soon. This medicine is to prevent miscarriage. You can feed it to her every day, and she¡¯ll get better slowly. ¡± When doctor li passed Zheng Zeyi the medicine, his eyes were slightly evasive. However, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mind was focused on joesse¡¯s body and did not notice the doctor¡¯s abnormality. ¡°Okay, thank you, doctor.¡± Zheng ze carried Joes and walked out. When he got home, he instructed the Auntie and servants to take good care of Joes and the medicine for the fetus. ¡°Young master, why does this medicine look like this? I don¡¯t remember drinking like this before!¡± The Auntie could not help but blurt out when she was delivering the medicine to Qiao sisi. Zheng Zeyi smiled and said,¡±¡±As long as the medicine can cure illnesses, it¡¯s fine. As for what it looks like, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. But young master, why hasn¡¯t miss Qiao woken up yet? It¡¯s been so long. ¡± Zheng Zeyi patted Joes ¡®head and sighed.¡±¡±He should be here soon! Give me the medicine!¡± In the middle of the night, Qiao sisi suddenly started coughing, waking up Zheng Zeyi who had just fallen asleep. He threw her over with a worried look.¡±Sisi, are you alright? Sisi. ¡± Initially, he thought that Jossi was about to wake up, but after coughing for a long time, she calmed down again. Her face had also turned very pale. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Quickly call the doctor over. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said nervously. When the Butler came back, he did not bring doctor li back, but another doctor. ¡°Doctor, quickly take a look at her condition.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not think too much about it. After all, it was more important to save people. ¡°Mr. Zheng, has this youngdy taken any strong stimting medicine recently?¡± Chapter 593

Chapter 593: Joes¡¯s condition worsened

Trantor: 549690339

Zheng Zeyi thought about it and shook his head.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t take any medicine! It¡¯s just some simple medicine to prevent pregnancy and some tonics. There¡¯s nothing else. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s not possible! The patient has taken too many hormones, which is why he¡¯s in aa. ording to this situation, he has taken a lot. I need to find the source to prescribe the right medicine. ¡± The doctor furrowed his brows. It seemed that the situation was not good. Zheng ze became even more worried when he saw the doctor¡¯s condition.¡±Doctor, tell me the truth. Is she really in trouble?¡± ¡°Mr. Zheng, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you the truth, but this matter is really hard to say!¡± The doctor sighed and said helplessly. ¡°Mr. Zheng, can you show me the medicine that the patient usually takes?¡± The doctor thought for a moment and asked. Zheng Zeyi nodded and passed the medicine he had brought back from the hospital to the doctor.¡±¡±This is it.¡± The doctor took it and sniffed it. Then, he panicked.¡±Mr. Zheng, are you sure this medicine is from the hospital?¡± Wang Yao asked. ¡°Yeah! Is there something wrong with the medicine?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked when he saw the doctor¡¯s serious expression. The doctor frowned.¡±Mr. Zheng, this medicine isn¡¯t a miscarriage prevention medicine at all. It¡¯s a pill made with several hormones. It¡¯s very bad for pregnant women. Although it may not kill them, it¡¯s very likely that they will never wake up.¡± After hearing the doctor¡¯s words, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown, and his expression became very ugly. ¡°Doctor, I don¡¯t care what you can do. You must find a way to wake her up. I will not allow her to never wake up again. Do you hear me?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s aura suddenly became extremely cold, causing the doctor beside him to shiver. ¡°President Zheng, don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll definitely do my best, but I think the most important thing now is to send Madam to the hospital! No matter how good the equipment at home is, it¡¯s not as professional as the hospital!¡± The moment Zheng ze heard the word ¡®hospital¡¯, his aura immediately turned cold. If he had not sent Joes to the hospital, this would not have happened. This time, he would not send Joes to the hospital no matter what. Furthermore, he would not let off anyone who hurt Joes. ¡°Hospital? Other than you, everyone in your hospital must be investigated starting tomorrow. And that doctor li, do you have his contact information? I have another question. Why are you here today? where¡¯s doctor li?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked coldly. The doctor beside him broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°Actually, I thought it was quite strange today. Doctor li was supposed to be on duty tonight, but he suddenly left because of something at home. It¡¯s understandable that his family has something to do. Doctor Li¡¯s wife is seriously ill, and he often has to go back to see her. It¡¯s because of this that I agreed to take over his shift, and then I came here.¡± ¡°Do you have Dr. Li¡¯s home address?¡± Zheng Zeyi continued to ask. ¡°The hospital has a record. I have to go back and check. Mr. Zheng, I still want to say that Madam¡¯s current condition really can not be dyed any longer. No matter what, I still suggest that you send her to the hospital for a thorough examination.¡± Even though Zheng Zeyi was still a little worried, he still decided to send joesse to the hospital first. After sending Qiao si to the hospital, the entire hospital became very busy overnight due to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s influence.¡±Mr. Zheng, don¡¯t worry! Madam¡¯s condition has stabilized a lot, and we¡¯ve given her a systematic gastricvage, so she¡¯s basically clean. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t absorb too much, so the child is fine. ¡± After a night of torment, Qiao si SI¡¯s condition gradually stabilized. Zheng ze walked to her bedside and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her face that had regained some color. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! I didn¡¯t protect you well, and this time, you¡¯re injured again. Don¡¯t worry! I must have hurt you for thest time. I¡¯m sorry. ¡± Zheng ze went over and touched joesse¡¯s head. He looked at her tenderly and then pped himself. A red handprint immediately appeared on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fair face. It was enough to show how much force he had used. ¡°In the future, if I let you get hurt again, I¡¯ll p myself. Although it¡¯s far less than what you¡¯ve suffered, it¡¯ll make me feel better. I¡¯ll definitely find out the truth and avenge you. I¡¯ll make all those who hurt you pay the price. ¡± Zheng ze¡¯s eyes turned cold as he stood up and made a phone call. ¡°Hey, send a few people to the hospital. I want to make sure not even a mosquito can fly in.¡± He had already found doctor Li¡¯s address, but when he sent people to check, he found that there was no one left, and the things in the house were basically gone. Zheng Zeyi went to check the hospital¡¯s surveince and found a woman wrapped up tightly. However, because the package was too tight, he could not see her face clearly. However, from the shape of her body, Zheng Zeyi could basically confirm who she belonged to. Moreover, thest person doctor li met before leaving was this woman, so there must be a connection between these two. Even though he could not confirm who it was, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s anger had already been pointed at. Ma Shan was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in her hand. She was about to put it in her mouth when she was startled by a loud noise and spilled half of it. ¡°Who is it?¡± As soon as Ma Shan finished her question, Zheng Zeyi came in with a dark expression. ¡°Z-Zeyi! Why didn¡¯t you tell me you wereing back? I¡¯ll Ask Auntie to prepare some food for you. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed when she saw Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Aunty doesn¡¯t seem very happy to see me! Are you feeling guilty?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked coldly. ¡°Zeyi, what are you talking about? Howe I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying? I know you don¡¯t like Auntie, but you don¡¯t have to be so hostile to her, right? Auntie really wants to treat you well. ¡± Ma Shan stared at Zheng Zeyi and said with a smile. However, no matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of awkwardness in her smile. ¡°Oh, really? It¡¯s so hard for Auntie to pretend every day! Not only did she have to pretend to be a good wife and mother to lie to my dad, but she also had to brush me off. ¡± Zheng Zeyiughed coldly as he sat on the sofa. ¡°Zeyi, what¡¯s the reason for your return today? You didn¡¯t just want to tell me this, did you?¡± Ma Shan¡¯s face turned cold when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯sck of respect. ¡°I came back today just to show Auntie a photo. By the way, where¡¯s Zheng Zeyu?¡± Chapter 594

Chapter 594: Have you asked Auntie?

Trantor: 549690339

¡°I¡¯m here, brother. Why didn¡¯t you tell me you wereing back?¡± Zheng Zeyu had alsoe down from upstairs. When he saw Zheng Zeyi, he greeted him with a smile. ¡°Why do I need to report to you two outsiders that I¡¯m going back to my own home?¡± ¡°Zeyi, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a little unpleasant to hear you say that? Zeyu is also your father¡¯s son, your younger brother, and a member of the Zheng family. No matter what, I¡¯m now thedy of the Zheng family. Even if you don¡¯t acknowledge me as your mother, you should at least call me Auntie, right? Shouldn¡¯t you at least show me some respect?¡± ¡°Mistress? Aunty, why don¡¯t you take a look at yourself and see if you¡¯re worthy?¡± Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed immediately when Zheng Zeyi asked her directly. ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate for you to say that. I know you don¡¯t like the two of us. You can disrespect me or refuse to acknowledge me, but no matter what, my mother is still your elder. I hope you can be more respectful when you speak to her.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face darkened when he heard what Zheng Zeyi said to Ma Shan. ¡°Alright, alright. We¡¯re a family. There¡¯s no need to be unhappy over this. Zeyi, you said that you came back to show me a photo. What photo is it? can you show it to me now?¡± Ma Shan had always been a good person in the family. ¡°Auntie, thank you so much for your reminder. If it weren¡¯t for you, I almost forgot why I came here this time. Don¡¯t worry, we can watch it together when dades back! I think dad will be very interested in this photo. ¡± Zheng Zeyi had to make old master Zheng take this matter seriously. Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s return today was too abnormal. It must not be simple. ¡°Zeyi! Do you have something to say today? If there¡¯s anything, you two brothers can discuss it first. Your dad will be back in a while, I¡¯ll go prepare some food for you. ¡± Ma Shan said. When she left, she gave Zheng Zeyu a look, and Zheng Zeyu immediately understood. ¡°Brother, we haven¡¯t seen each other for so long. Don¡¯t leave tonight. Let¡¯s have a good drink.¡± Zheng Zeyu sat down beside Zheng Zeyi and said. ¡°It¡¯s fine if I just drink a little. After all, I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s in my drink, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words this time did not give them any face at all! ¡°Brother, did something bad happen to you this time? Why does it feel so strange?¡± ¡°Strange? Speaking of strange, I feel that the two of you are rather enthusiastic today. Did you do something wrong? Sisi is in the hospital and the doctor in charge is missing. Do you know about this?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at Zheng Zeyu and asked coldly. Zheng Zeyu did not expect Zheng Zeyi to ask him about this. He paused for a moment, but still shook his head and pretended to be surprised.¡±Brother, didn¡¯t you find her doctor? Why did he suddenly run away? Did something happen? Do you want me to help you find another one?¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite enthusiastic, but I don¡¯t need you to find a doctor. I just heard some things and came back to ask if you knew about it, but since you don¡¯t know, then forget it.¡± Zheng Zeyu smiled awkwardly, then found an excuse to leave. ¡°Mother, I think there¡¯s something strange about Zheng ze¡¯s return this time. He must have found out something. We have to be careful when fatheres backter. We can¡¯t let them find out anything. Otherwise, everything we¡¯ve done will be for naught.¡± Zheng Zeyu looked at Zheng Zeyi, who was outside, and pulled Ma Shan to the side. Ma Shan nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! ¡°I know what to do. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s visit this time isn¡¯t entirely a bad thing. The fact that he¡¯s here means that the matter has already been settled and we¡¯ve already arranged for that doctor to go to a ce. As long as there¡¯s no evidence, it¡¯s useless no matter what Zheng Zeyi says.¡± ¡°Boss. We¡¯ve found the doctor¡¯s current address. Should we go there immediately?¡± Zheng ze saw this message the moment he unlocked his phone. ¡°Follow.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. The moment old master Zheng came back, he saw Zheng Zeyi sitting on the sofa and immediately walked over with a happy face. ¡°Zeyi! You¡¯re back. It¡¯s been so many days. Why did you only think ofing back to see dad now?¡± ¡°I came back this time for something else. I¡¯ll leave after I¡¯m done.¡± Zheng Zeyi said coldly as he leaned to the side. ¡°What is it? Did something happen in your life? Tell dad, dad will do his best to help you. ¡± All these years, old master Zheng had always felt that he owed Zheng Zeyi and wanted to do something to make it up to him. However, Zheng Zeyi did not seem to need it at all. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to help me with anything. The only thing I want to ask of you is for you to manage the people around you. ¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s face immediately turned cold when he heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words.¡±¡±Did your brother do something again? You tell me. ¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know soon. ¡± The atmosphere at the dinner table was awkward. ¡°Cough, cough, let¡¯s eat then! Zeyi! Since you¡¯re back today, here¡¯s some sweet and sour pork ribs that I¡¯ve made myself. Have a taste and see if it¡¯s any different from the ones you¡¯ve had before. ¡± Zheng Zeyi sneered,¡¯you think you¡¯re worthy of beingpared to my mother? Other than my mom¡¯s sweet and sour pork ribs, I don¡¯t eat anyone else ¡®s. ¡± ¡°Alright, I didn¡¯te back this time to waste time with you. This photo, Auntie. You should be familiar with it, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi passed the phone to Ma Shan and asked. Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed immediately. She asked,¡±¡±Could this person have some infectious disease? Why was it wrapped so tightly? I can¡¯t even see his face clearly. ¡± ¡°Yup! Did he do something wrong? Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t be wrapped up like this. ¡± Old master Zheng took a look at it and frowned.¡±¡±Ma Shan, I remember that you have this piece of clothing, right? Zeyi, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± ¡°Dad, sisi is in the hospital, and the reason she¡¯s in the hospital is because she was framed. I came back this time to ask about this.¡± When old master Zheng heard that joesse was hospitalized, his face immediately turned cold.¡±¡±What? Sisi was hospitalized? What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll have to Ask Auntie about this, right?¡± ¡°Zeyi, what¡¯s the meaning of this? Do you think sisi¡¯s hospitalization has something to do with me? Old master, this isplete nder! Zeyi, I know you don¡¯t like me, but you can¡¯t me this on me. How could I possibly harm sisi?¡± Chapter 595

Ma Shan said to old master Zheng anxiously. Old master Zheng looked at her coldly. Zheng Zeyi had never spoken ording to his temper. Since he had already said those words, it meant that he needed sufficient evidence to prove the truth of the matter. ¡°Zeyi, continue. What happened to sisi? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if what you said is true, I¡¯ll help you get to the bottom of it no matter what the truth is. Don¡¯t even think about running away from the real murderer. Not to mention that Jossi is now the daughter-inw of the Zheng family, just the child in her stomach alone carries a certain weight. If anyone dares to hurt her, I¡¯ll be the first to disagree.¡± When old master Zheng said this, he shot a cold nce at Zheng Zeyu and Ma Shan. Ma Shan could not help but shiver. ¡°Yup! Old master, if I find out about this, I won¡¯t let him off either. Zeyi, do you know any other characteristics of the murderer?¡± Ma Shan asked with a serious face. She looked really innocent. ¡°Oh, really? Thank you so much, but did you go out the day before sisi was discharged?¡± Zheng Zeyi stared at Ma Shan and asked. ¡°I¡¯ve been out! Every afternoon, I would go out shopping with my friends. The old master knows about this. Zeyi, are you still suspicious of me? If you really don¡¯t want to believe me, you can go and investigate. I can give you the contact information of the friends I went out with for the past few days. You can go and check. ¡± After Ma Shan finished speaking, she looked at old master Zheng with an aggrieved expression. Zheng ze and yuze interjected,¡±¡±Brother, I know you don¡¯t like us. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t respect my mother or treat her as an elder, but you can¡¯t frame her like this, right?¡± ¡°Frame her? Dad, it¡¯s up to you how to deal with this matter! Aunty, I hope I¡¯m really overthinking this time. If I really find something against you or any evidence, I don¡¯t care who you are, or whether you¡¯re an elder, I¡¯ll make you pay a certain price. ¡± ¡°Old master, look at Zeyi. He just doesn¡¯t believe me. Did I do something wrong to make him distrust me so much? old master, you must believe me. I don¡¯t even get to see her face usually. How could I do anything to hurt her?¡± ¡°You shut up. I¡¯ll ask you two onest time, did you do this?¡± Old master Zheng stared at Ma Shan coldly and asked. Zheng Zeyu stood in front of Ma Shan and said,¡±¡±Dad, it¡¯s fine if brother doesn¡¯t miss my mom because she¡¯s not her biological daughter. But how can you not believe her? Dad, mom has nothing in this house except for you. If you don¡¯t believe her, she will really have nothing. ¡± ¡°Shut up. You and your mother are on the same side. Don¡¯t you know what she did?¡± Old master Zheng looked at Zheng Zeyu angrily. Zheng Zeyu was also a little angry.¡±Dad, I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m also your son, so why do you only have brother in your heart? What I don¡¯t understand is why I¡¯m not as good as him. ¡± Zheng ze felt extremely annoyed when he saw the two of them.¡±¡±Alright, I came back this time to ask you about it, but it seems like you two won¡¯t tell me the truth.¡± ¡°Dad, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave. I¡¯ll continue to investigate this matter. If I really find out something, Auntie, what do you think I¡¯ll do?¡± Zheng ze was about to leave when old master Zheng stopped him.¡±¡±Zeyi, you¡¯ve just returned and you¡¯re already leaving? Let¡¯s have a meal before leaving!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. There¡¯s no more food for me in this house. From the moment my mother left, this house has nothing to do with me.¡± Zheng ze left as soon as he finished speaking. Old master Zheng looked at his back and sighed silently. He didn¡¯t know when it started, but the distance between him and his son had grown further and further. ¡°Old master, this Zeyi is getting more and more impolite. You¡¯d better control him! If you don¡¯t care about him anymore, he¡¯ll only be more and more like this when hees back in the future. Look at how well-behaved Zeyu is! I¡¯ve never argued with you. ¡± Ma Shan walked over and held old master Zheng¡¯s arm. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you onest time, does this matter have anything to do with you two?¡± Old master Zheng asked coldly. ¡°Old master, I can understand that Zeyi doesn¡¯t believe me, but why don¡¯t you believe me either? I¡¯ll say it again, I didn¡¯t do this.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Old master Zheng stood up and left after he finished speaking. This house No longer looked like a home. ¡°Zeyu, it¡¯s obvious that your father doesn¡¯t want to believe us. What do we do now?¡± Ma Shan watched as old master Zheng left. She immediately ran over and asked Zheng Zeyu anxiously. ¡°Mother, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s not that easy for Zheng Zeyi to find evidence. As long as we refuse to admit it, father can¡¯t do anything to us. Besides, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve made any mistakes in this matter, so it¡¯s almost impossible for them to find any evidence.¡± Zheng Zeyu said coldly, and Ma Shan was relieved.¡±Zeyu, the two of us don¡¯t have any status in this family to begin with. Now, every step we take is like walking on thin ice, so we must be careful and not let anyone get a hold of us. As long as I¡¯m here, I¡¯ll fight for the best for you. I won¡¯t let anyone take away anything that belongs to you. ¡± Zheng ze immediately rushed to doctor Li¡¯s ce after he left, but he found that it was empty again. After some thought, he decided to return to the hospital. After all, the most important thing now was to wait for Jossi to wake up. ¡°Doctor, how is it? when will my wife wake up?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked the doctor curiously. ¡°Sir, this matter can¡¯t be rushed, but ording to the patient¡¯s current recovery speed, she should wake up soon. We have even better news to inform you. The child is now very healthy and not affected by the medicine.¡± Zheng Zeyi heaved a deep sigh of relief. It was good that everything was fine. As long as joessi was fine, he could rest assured. ¡°Doctor, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s our duty as doctors to save every patient. Your wife and child are very strong.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s feelings were reallyplicated now. He walked to the side of Qiao SI¡¯s bed and held her hand tightly. His eyes were red. Chapter 596

Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes had never turned red because of anything since he was young, but this time, he really could not hold it in anymore. The most important person to him was lying on the bed, but he was still helpless and could not do anything. ¡°Sisi, you must wake up safely. You and the baby in your stomach must be healthy.¡± ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve found traces of doctor li.¡± Zheng Zeyi left in a hurry as soon as he received the news. This time, he had to find out the truth. Ma Shan had also received the news and immediately looked for Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Zeyu, Zheng Zeyi has already found that doctor. What should we do? We must not let them meet. ¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry! Leave this matter to me. I¡¯m going to find that doctor now. I¡¯ll make him shut up forever. ¡± Zheng Zeyu ran out after he finished speaking. He had wanted to let the doctor live, but it seemed like he had no choice now! Dr. Li had nned to take his wife abroad to hide, but he didn¡¯t expect danger toe step by step. ¡°Who is it?¡± Ever since she had given Zheng ze the medicine, doctor Li¡¯s life had been very difficult. Every night, she would dream of being caught for doing something wrong. She would be very cautious when she heard someone knocking on the door. ¡°I was sent by someone to send you to the airport.¡± Zheng Zeyu was wearing a ck hat. Dr. Li peeked through the door crack, then opened the door to let him in. As soon as she opened the door, she felt a knife on her chest, and something flowed out of her mouth. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Who asked Zheng Zeyi to find you?¡± Zheng Zeyu pulled out the knife, turned around, and ran. Just as he went out, he saw Zheng Zeyi and the rest running in from the door. He immediately pretended to be a passerby and avoided the disaster. When Zheng ze saw Doctor li lying in a pool of blood, he was reminded of the person who had brought the brain. He immediately ordered his men to chase after her. No matter what, Zheng Zeyu had trained for two years. Although he was slightly injured after exchanging blows with a few people, he still ran away. Zheng ze saw that the person had already taken a taxi and left, so he stopped and continued to chase after him. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that person looks familiar?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked the person beside him with a frown. ¡°Boss, did you get the wrong person?¡± Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows and thought about it. ¡°¡±I¡¯m sure I¡¯m very familiar with this person. ¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back and see that doctor first!¡± Zheng Zeyu dragged his injured legs back home. Ma Shan immediately ran over when she saw him. ¡°How¡¯s the matter? Did they find out anything?¡± Zheng Zeyu shook his head and said,¡± It was done perfectly, and no one would have found out. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Zeyu, you¡¯re injured? What¡¯s going on? Come over quickly, I¡¯ll help you bandage it. ¡± When Ma Shan saw the wound on Zheng Zeyu¡¯s leg, she immediately became very nervous. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just identally touched a knife in the process of fighting with them, so I got a little cut. It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Fight? you fought with someone? Zheng Zeyi?¡± Ma Shan asked nervously. Zheng Zeyu shook his head,¡±¡±It¡¯s not Zheng Zeyi, it¡¯s just a few of hisckeys. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Fortunately, the cut is not deep. Don¡¯te into contact with water for the next few days.¡± ¡°I feel that Zheng Zeyi will still suspect me. So, mom, when hees back, you must help me think of a way to dy him. ¡± Ma Shan nodded,¡±don¡¯t worry!¡± I know what to do. ¡± ¡°Alright, quickly go and change out of your clothes! When your dades back and sees you like this, he¡¯ll definitely be suspicious. ¡± Although Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t really want to talk to old man Zheng about this, there were some things that were better to talk to him about. Maybe he would get a different harvest. Old master Zheng was in disbelief when he saw Zheng Zeyi take the initiative to look for him. ¡°Zeyi, why did youe back today?¡± ¡°I have something to tell you. Are you free?¡± Zheng Zeyi felt a little awkward when he said this. ¡°Speak! What¡¯s the matter?¡± It had been a long time since Zheng Zeyi had such a good conversation with him. ¡°I found the doctor Who changed sisi¡¯s medicine, but when I got there, he had already been killed.¡± ¡°What? Who could be so vicious?¡± Old master Zheng furrowed his brows. If that was the case, then this matter would not be as simple as it seemed. ¡°Zeyi, how¡¯s sisi doing?¡± Old master Zheng was still worried about his precious wife¡¯s condition. ¡°Apart from being unconscious, everything else is fine.¡± This was also the problem that Zheng Zeyi was most worried about. Even though his body was showing signs of improvement, why was he not waking up? ¡°Zeyi, the most important thing you should do right now is to stay by sisi¡¯s side. These people¡¯s target is obviously sisi, so you must protect her well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I know. ¡± ¡°Alright, I know you don¡¯t like this family, and you don¡¯t like those two people either. But no matter what, even if it¡¯s for my sake, can you stay for a meal?¡± Although Zheng Zeyi was very unhappy, he still decided to stay in the end. After all, old master Zheng had already said so. If he still refused, it would seem like he was really inhumane. ¡°Zeyi! You can stay for dinner. We¡¯re really happy, let¡¯s eat! These are all your favorite food. ¡± Ma Shan was still as enthusiastic as ever. She looked like a good wife and mother! A gentle stepmother. ¡°Yup! Brother, it¡¯s not easy for our family to get together for a meal. Come, let me toast to you. ¡± After Zheng Zeyu finished speaking, he picked up his ss and wanted to toast Zheng Zeyi, but old master Zheng identally touched his wound. Zheng Zeyu immediately cried out in pain, and the entire dining table suddenly became very quiet. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Your leg is injured?¡± Old master Zheng asked curiously. Zheng Zeyu shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. I just knocked myself on the ground today. It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t worry. ¡± ¡°How could you be so careless? Be careful when you go out in the future. ¡± Zheng Zeyu immediately nodded. Dad. I¡¯ll be careful in the future. ¡± Zheng Zeyi squinted his eyes and said,¡¯did I knock myself on the ground? That knock should be quite heavy! Seeing how you were gritting your teeth just now, do you want to go to the hospital to get your wound bandaged?¡± ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t have to worry about that. It¡¯s not easy for you toe back. The most important thing is to eat and drink well. ¡± ¡°Zeyu, is your leg really alright?¡± Old master Zheng asked with a frown. ¡°Aiya, old master, don¡¯t worry about him. He¡¯s already a grown man. It¡¯s normal for him to have some bumps. What could happen? let¡¯s eat first!¡± Ma Shan said as she ced a piece of rib into old master Zheng¡¯s bowl. Chapter 597

¡°Be careful in the future.¡± After old master Zheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate his food. Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Zheng Zeyu¡¯s legs. ¡°Zeyu! What have you been busy with recently? I heard from my assistant that you haven¡¯t been to thepany for the past two days. ¡± Zheng Zeyi stared at Zheng Zeyu and asked. Zheng Zeyuughed awkwardly.¡±Brother, you know what kind of person I am. I just like to go out and y. You won¡¯t me me for skipping work for a day, right?¡± ¡°Of course not. Let¡¯s eat!¡± After Zheng Zeyi finished his meal, he deliberately did not leave the dining table. Instead, he kept observing Zheng Zeyu¡¯s leg. Although he deliberately pretended that nothing had happened, it was not difficult to see that his right leg was injured. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m worried about sisi being alone in the hospital. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Zheng Zeyi brushed past Zheng Zeyu¡¯s shoulder as he left. He stopped and patted Zheng Zeyu on the shoulder.¡±I hope you don¡¯t let me catch you.¡± ¡°Brother, what are you talking about?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just rest well. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was naturally referring to his legs. Zheng Zeyu stared at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back, his eyes slightly cold. ¡°Zeyu,e to my room with meter. I have something to tell you.¡± Ma Shan walked to Zheng Zeyu¡¯s side and patted his shoulder. ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that the lights in the study had already been turned on, Zheng Zeyu went to Ma Shan¡¯s room after confirming that father Zheng had indeed entered the study. ¡°Zeyu, Zheng Zeyi might already be suspicious of you. You should be more careful these days. How¡¯s the injury on your leg?¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry! My leg is fine now, but Zheng Zeyi is starting to suspect me. What do we do next?¡± Zheng Zeyu looked at Ma Shan with a frown. ¡°The main factor now is Jossi. As long as she doesn¡¯t wake up, there won¡¯t be so many problems.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll let her die this time.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold and sinister. After the previous incident, Ma Shan no longer had so many concerns about such matters. She nodded.¡±Zeyu, tell me! What should we do?¡± ¡°Taking her life is the most direct way. Mom, don¡¯t worry! Leave this to me. ¡± When Zheng Zeyi arrived at the hospital, he saw joesse leaning against the bed and eating. He thought that he had seen wrongly, but after rubbing his eyes, he realized that he had not seen wrongly. He ran over excitedly. ¡°Sisi, you, you¡¯re awake?¡± ¡°Zeyi? You¡¯re here! The nurses gave me this food. I feel like I haven¡¯t had this in a long time. ¡± Joes pointed at the food beside her and said excitedly. Zheng ze went over and pulled her into his arms, his eyes turning red. ¡°Do you know how worried I¡¯ve been for you all this time? You¡¯re finally awake. ¡± ¡°Zeyi, don¡¯t hug me so tightly, I¡¯m almost out of breath. Didn¡¯t I wake up already? Even though I¡¯ve been unconscious all this time, I can still faintly hear someone calling out to me. I know it¡¯s you, ze Yi. I also heard from the nurse that our child is very healthy. ¡± Zheng Zeyi immediately let go of her and said,¡±that¡¯s right!¡± Our child is very healthy. We¡¯ll wait for you to be discharged. Let¡¯s just go home and take care of the baby. ¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Joes nodded. ¡°Zeyi, I know you¡¯ve been trying to find out the truth and the murderer, but I¡¯m already awake, so why don¡¯t we just forget about it? It¡¯s too dangerous. I don¡¯t want you to be in danger because of me. ¡± Qiao si looked at Zheng Zeyi worriedly. Zheng Zeyi went over and kissed her on the forehead.¡±Your most important task now is to take care of your body. As for the other things, leave them to me. Who am I? How could there be an ident?¡± A smile appeared on Joes¡¯s face.¡±¡±Alright! I¡¯m sleepy. ¡± ¡°Then you should sleep! I¡¯ll be here with you. ¡± Zheng Zeyi would only show such a gentle expression in front of Joes. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Seeing that Qiao sisi had fallen asleep, Zheng Zeyi leaned to the side and closed his eyes. In the middle of the night, a loud noise came from inside the ward. Zheng ze was jolted awake and saw two Men in ck pouncing on joesse¡¯s bed with daggers. ¡°Who is it?¡± Zheng Zeyi shouted and forced the two of them to retreat. The two men in ck saw that they had been discovered, so they looked at each other and pounced on Zheng Zeyi again. Zheng Zeyi went up to fight against them, but no matter what, one person could not fight against two people¡¯s attacks at the same time. Moreover, these two people were basically evenly matched with him, so Zheng Zeyi was defeated very quickly. Seeing that a Man in ck was about to reach joesse¡¯s bed, Zheng Zeyi used thest of his strength to block the attack. The daggernded on his body, and blood flowed out instantly. Zheng Zeyi used thest of his strength to press the button at the head of the bed. The hospital¡¯s rm rang instantly, and the two men in ck ran away immediately. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you alright?¡± Soon, a doctor and nurse came in and immediately ran over to ask when they saw Zheng ze covered in blood. Qiao Si was also awoken by the noise and saw Zheng Zeyi, who was covered in blood, lying in front of her. ¡°Z-Zeyi, what¡¯s wrong? Zeyi, doctor, please take a look at him. Why is there so much blood?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled and touched joesse¡¯s face with hisst breath.¡±¡±I, I¡¯m fine. As long as you¡¯re fine, it¡¯s fine.¡± Qiao si si felt her heart turn cold. She had just woken up, and Zheng Zeyi was already in this state. Furthermore, it was all because of her. ¡°He¡¯s lost too much blood. He needs surgery immediately.¡± The doctor said after checking. Qiao si felt her entire body go numb, especially when she saw Zheng ze¡¯s state. Even when Zheng ze was sent to the emergency room, she was stunned. The Zheng family also heard the news and old master Zheng rushed over immediately. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why was Zheng Zeyi injured? Isn¡¯t it joesse?¡± Seeing that old master Zheng had left, Ma Shan pulled Zheng Zeyu aside and asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know either! What to do? What if they find out?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll go and find out the situation. Don¡¯t act rashly.¡± Ma Shan patted Zheng Zeyu¡¯s hand and left immediately. Old master Zheng went to the hospital. When he saw Joes sitting at the side, he ran over and asked. ¡°Sisi, what happened? Why is Zeyi in the hospital?¡± ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s all my fault. Zeyi did this to save me. It¡¯s all my fault. It¡¯s all my fault. They came to kill me. It¡¯s all my fault. Grandpa, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes turned red. Old master Zheng patted her head and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t get agitated. Tell me, what happened?¡± ¡°Someone, someone wants to kill me, Grandpa.¡± Joes¡¯s entire body was trembling as she told old master Zheng everything that had happened in the past few days.

¡°Preposterous, this is simply preposterous! Someone actually dares to be so arrogant, he¡¯s not putting the Zheng family in his eyes!¡± After listening to what joesse had to say, old master Zheng flew into a rage. The atmosphere in the ward changed slightly when the old man was angry. It became quiet for a while. No one dared to speak, and even their breathing became careful. After a long while, it was joesse who broke the silence,¡±I¡¯m sorry, Grandpa, it¡¯s all my fault.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for her, Zheng Zeyi would be standing in front of the old master now. She should be the one lying on the bed now. ¡°Heh, what¡¯s the use of saying such things now? Nothing can be changed. Ever since you came to our Zheng family, nothing good has happened!¡± Father Zheng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. As he spoke, father Zheng did not forget to cast a resentful look at Jossi. He had never liked this Jossi. Now, it seemed that his wife was right. This woman was the Zheng family¡¯s nemesis. They could not keep her, let alone the child in her stomach. Moreover, he did not only have one son, Zheng Zeyi. Joes was already in a state of self-me, and after hearing father Zheng¡¯s words, the self-me in her heart intensified. Coupled with the influence of the progesterone, she suddenly felt that her tear nds seemed to have developed. She didn¡¯t want to cry. Seeing Qiao sisi¡¯s tears, old master Zheng¡¯s heart ached. He immediately reprimanded his son,¡±does sisi want to see Zeyi get hurt? Why don¡¯t you look in the mirror and see what you¡¯ve done for Zeyi? how can you say sisi! Go, call the director over! I¡¯d like to ask him how he could allow criminals to enter and leave such a big hospital as they please!¡± The old man was right. For something like this to happen, the hospital¡¯s security had to take some responsibility. Father Zheng did not dare to disobey old master Zheng¡¯s words. However, before he could walk out of the ward, the director walked towards him and looked at the old man with a trace of fear in his eyes. The director didn¡¯t dare to show the slightest neglect in front of the old man. He had rushed over in a hurry after hearing that the old man hade in a rage. ¡°Old man Zheng.¡± The director walked up to the old man and greeted him respectfully. ¡°Director, shouldn¡¯t you give me an exnation for what happened to my grandson in your hospital? When the Zheng family decided to invest in your hospital, we were only interested in the quality of your hospital. Now, it seems that I¡¯ve made a wrong decision!¡± Old master Zheng looked at the director coldly and snorted. He questioned him directly. In other words, if the director did not give him a reasonable exnation, he would withdraw the hospital¡¯s funds! The Dean understood what old master Zheng was implying and his legs turned to jelly. He could not stop apologizing.¡±Old master Zheng, I¡¯m very sorry about President Zheng! I-I¡¯ll call the person in charge of security over right now and ask him about it. I promise I¡¯ll investigate this matter thoroughly and give you and President Zheng an exnation!¡± As he spoke, the director called the security chief and the manager in charge of the security system. In less than ten minutes, two more people appeared in front of the old man. Old master Zheng¡¯s aura was so strong that the two men broke out in a cold sweat. They stammered,¡±director ... Director, we¡¯re checking the surveince cameras now to find the killer¡¯s whereabouts. This ... This time, it¡¯s really not our fault. The other party was too powerful ...¡± ¡°Amazing! Are you trying to tell me that I hired a bunch of trash?¡± Hearing the words of the head of security, the director was even angrier. He reprimanded the two men in front of the old man and drove them out. Looking at the director who was scolding his subordinates, joesse only felt that he was a little noisy. Right now, she was only concerned about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s current situation. The central air conditioner in the ward had adjusted the temperature of the entire Ward to just the right temperature, but her hands were still cold. Only she knew that the chill was not because of the weather or the temperature, but because of the fear and fear in her heart. It seemed that she had never been so afraid in her life. She was afraid of losing him. Lose ... When those two words shed through Joes ¡®mind, she no longer hesitated. She immediately sat up from the bed and walked out of the ward. ¡°Sisi, where are you going?¡± Old master Zheng looked at joesse and quickly expressed his concern. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m worried about Zeyi. I want to wait for him at the entrance of the operating room. I want to wait for him to see me as soon as hees out of the operating room. You must be very happy. ¡± Joes looked at old master Zheng and spoke her inner thoughts. The director, who was still worried about how he could make up for his mistake, immediately got the nurse to push a wheelchair away after hearing joesse¡¯s words. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to please the old master? ¡°Okay, Grandpa will go with you.¡± Old master Zheng looked at joesse with a relieved expression and said,¡± When he passed by father Zheng, he didn¡¯t forget to re at him. What a disappointing son! The distance between the ward and the operating room was not far, but this time, jorsi felt that it was extremely far. Looking at the ¡°surgery in progress¡± indicator light, Joes¡¯s heart clenched tightly. The waiting time was always long. Just as Jossi¡¯s patience was about to run out, the ¡°operation in progress¡± indicator light finally went out. Immediately after, the tightly shut operating room door was pushed open from the inside, and an attending physician in a white coat walked out with a tired face. The moment she saw the doctor, joesse stood up from her wheelchair without any hesitation and rushed to the doctor. She asked,¡±doctor, how is Zheng Zeyi? How¡¯s his condition?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, miss Qiao, the operation went very smoothly. Mr. Zheng was very lucky and almost hurt his life. However, even though Mr. Zheng¡¯s life was no longer in danger, he still ... The next 24 hours will be very crucial. If Mr. Zheng doesn¡¯t wake up within these 24 hours, I¡¯m afraid ...¡± The doctor did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood. After hearing the first half of the doctor¡¯s sentence, a sense of joy that she had never felt before rose from the bottom of her heart. However, when she heard the second half, her heart turned cold again, and a hint of disappointment shed in her eyes. Remembering that the old man was still at the side, Joes quickly adjusted her emotions and spoke again. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. As long as he¡¯s alive, there¡¯s hope. We should believe in him!¡± Chapter 599

¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s gettingte. You should go back and take care of yourself. Leave Zeyi to me. Don¡¯t worry, trust me.¡± In the end, Joes turned around to look at the old man and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. Old master Zheng had wanted to reject her, but even though his heart ached for Joes, it was even harder to reject her. Elder Zheng nodded his head and agreed to her suggestion.¡±Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you. But sisi, you have to promise me that you¡¯ll take care of yourself first before taking care of that Rascal. You¡¯re right, as long as you¡¯re alive.¡± He believed that his grandson was not that weak. After exining to joesse, old master Zheng turned around and spoke to the director. ¡°I¡¯ll leave my grandson and granddaughter-inw to you. If anything happens again, I think you should just quit being the director!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, old man. I¡¯ll definitely strengthen the security. I won¡¯t let what happenedst time happen again. ¡± The Dean promised after listening to the old man¡¯s advice. Zheng Zeyi was not an ordinary person. Even if the old man had not said this, he would have increased the number of people protecting Zheng Zeyi. After seeing Zheng Zeyi, who was lying on the bed, being pushed to the hospital¡¯s best and most advanced Ward, old man Zheng turned around and left the hospital with a peace of mind. Father Zheng also left with him. Father Zheng did not say much from the beginning to the end. He only took a few more nces at Zheng ze before he left. That gaze was as if he was looking at someone else¡¯s child. After old master Zheng left, the noisy Ward returned to its previous silence. ording to the doctor¡¯s advice, Zheng Zeyi was still under anesthesia as the surgery had just ended. Zheng Zeyi needed to rest and recuperate. Hence, Qiao sisi obedientlyy beside Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bed and looked at him quietly. After a while, Qiao si went to get a warm towel and wiped Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands and face clean. Thinking about it carefully, joesse had been tormented for so long and her body was already starting to get tired. However, she was not sleepy at all. She waited quietly for Zheng ze to wake up. However, even after a long time, Zheng Zeyi still showed no signs of waking up. Until the White belly rose from the East, until the sun shining on her body grew from big to small, from cold to hot. Words that couldfort others could notfort themselves. In the end, joesse became anxious. Looking at Zheng Zeyi, whose eyes were tightly shut, joesse¡¯s gaze became much gentler. Her slender and delicate hands gently caressed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, as if she was afraid of hurting him. From what she could remember, Zheng Zeyi had never been in pain. He had always appeared in her life like a hero. He was always timely, saving her from the abyss of suffering time and time again. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you bad guy, tell me, did you like me since a long time ago? That¡¯s why we had sex so easily that night. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. That must be the case. Who is our President Zheng? he is Swift and decisive, ck-bellied but handsome. If you are so easy to sleep with, wouldn¡¯t you have continued the Zheng family¡¯s lineage? However, Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯ve never confessed to me in a serious way. Can you get up now and tell me that I like you? I want to hear it. ¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say anything? Why don¡¯t you open your eyes and look at me? Was he too tired from the surgery? Let me tell you, I don¡¯t believe this excuse. The doctor said that you¡¯ve been closing your eyes the entire time during the surgery. Aren¡¯t you the most energetic? you can work all night long, so can you be more diligent now? Say that you like me, then go to sleep. Even if it¡¯s just opening your eyes to look at me. ¡± ¡°Alright, are you feeling shy? let me say this first, Zheng Zeyi, I like you. I don¡¯t know when it started, but I just like you. I promise you, as long as you wake up and look at me. I¡¯ll be with you for the rest of my life, and we¡¯ll never be separated again, okay?¡± After she finished speaking, the tears in joesse¡¯s eyes could no longer be held back. Like a flood that had just broken through a dam, they fell drop by drop onto the back of the man¡¯s hand. Perhaps the tears were too hot, and the hand couldn¡¯t help but move. It was a pity that Joes was too engrossed in her own emotions to notice this. Until the owner of the hand used all his strength to open his eyes and reply to joesse¡¯s words. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. He was really too weak now. Just that one word had used up most of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s energy. Upon hearing this, the sobbing Qiao si suddenly stopped. Her body stiffened and her face was filled with disbelief. She even rubbed her eyes before looking at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯re awake? You¡¯re really awake!¡± ¡°Jossi, I¡¯m asking you now. Was what you said just now true?¡± Even though he was unconscious, he was still conscious. Therefore, he could hear every single word that Joes had said to him. Joes had never expected that this man, who had just escaped from the gates of hell, would ask such a question when he woke up. Looking at Zheng Zeyi like this, Qiao sisi did not know if she should be touched or moved. It seemed to be both. In any case, Joes was so happy that she only knew how to nod her head. To Zheng Zeyi, Joes¡¯s nod made him extremely excited. At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was worth it to take the knife. It was not easy for him to finally return with a beauty after going through a near-death experience. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi only wanted to hold Qiao si tightly in his arms and love her. When she was unconscious, Joes had shed a lot of tears for him. He loved her so much, how could he bear to see her cry! Zheng Zeyi was a man of action. He thought so and did so. However, in his excitement, he forgot that he was a patient. Before he could reach out his hand, he felt a tearing pain from his wound. This pain went deep into his bone marrow, and he couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is your wound hurting? Or did he feel ufortable somewhere? Bear with it for a while, I¡¯ll go and call for him immediately. ¡± Looking at Zheng ze¡¯s face of forbearance, joesse immediately spoke up. ¡°Wait, don¡¯t go. You¡¯re my antidote.¡± The unexpected sweet nothings made Qiao si blush immediately, and she believed that Zheng Zeyi was really fine. However, joesse, who had already recovered from her excitement, did not forget to tell the old man that Zheng Zeyi had woken up. ¡°That¡¯s great. This is really great! Sisi, I knew you were the Zheng family¡¯s Lucky Star! I¡¯ll go to the hospital to see you two now!¡± After hearing the good news from joesse, the old man said,¡± Chapter 600

Chapter 600: Can¡¯t you just find him a murderer?

¡°Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t die? Didn¡¯t the doctor say that there was no saving him if he was stabbed in a vital point? Why did you wake up?¡± Ma Shan pulled Zheng Zeyu to the side and asked curiously. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry too much. Even if Zheng Zeyi wakes up, he might not know who it is. Let¡¯s go and take a look first! If we¡¯rete, people will gossip about us. Mom, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here!¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s words made Ma Shan feel more at ease. She nodded and went to the hospital. When old master Zheng arrived at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ward, Jossi was apanying him. ¡°Ahem, am I disturbing you?¡± Old master Zheng coughed awkwardly. Joes immediately stood up when she saw old master Zheng.¡±¡±No, no,¡± ¡°How is it? How¡¯s your recovery?¡± Old master Zheng walked in front of Zheng Zeyi and asked him with a concerned look. Zheng Zeyi nodded. ¡°I¡¯m almost fully recovered. Don¡¯t worry. ¡± Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu also walked in at this time. Ma Shan walked to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bedside with a worried face. ¡°Oh my, Zeyi, you really scared us to death. How is it, does the de still hurt? Are you alright now? I¡¯ve been so worried about you these past few days. ¡± Zheng Zeyu also walked in and said,¡±yeah!¡± Brother, who is it? Have you found the murderer?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at the two of them coldly andughed coldly in his heart. ¡°The murderer hasn¡¯t been found yet. Thank you for your concern, but I¡¯m fine, aren¡¯t I? Don¡¯t worry, everyone! I¡¯m still in good health. It¡¯s not that easy for others to take my life, cough, cough. ¡± Zheng ze started coughing as soon as he finished speaking. Joes immediately picked up the water beside her and handed it to him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. Zeyi¡¯s body hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet. The doctor needs to rest more. I know that everyone is very concerned about Zeyi, but I hope that everyone can understand his current condition and go back! Come back when he¡¯s fully recovered. ¡± Joes stood up with her hands on her waist and walked to Ma Shan and the rest. Old master Zheng nodded.¡±We¡¯re relieved to see her. Zeyi, have a good rest. We¡¯ll go back first. Let¡¯s go!¡± Don¡¯t disturb his rest. ¡± ¡°Sisi, your stomach is getting bigger and bigger, you need some rest too. Zeyi needs you here. You must take good care of your body!¡± Old master Zheng turned to look at Joes and said with concern. Joes nodded,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry! The child was very healthy. The two of us will also return to reunite with you soon. Grandpa, you should also take care of your health!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After old man Zheng and the rest left, Zheng Zeyi looked at Jossi with a smile. ¡°You did that on purpose, right? But you even dared to let Grandpa go, you¡¯re quite bold!¡± ¡°Grandpa is such a good person. He will definitely understand me. Those two people just now were too annoying. I don¡¯t like them. Besides, you really need to rest. It¡¯s not good for them to be here.¡± Qiao sisi walked to his side and said. Zheng Zeyi nodded. Even though he was hurt this time, he was genuinely happy. Qiao sisi¡¯s concern made him feel very warm. ¡°Zeyu, who do you think could have done this to your brother?¡± Old master Zheng called Zheng Zeyu to the study room after he went back and asked him coldly. Zheng Zeyu shook his head in confusion.¡±¡±Grandpa, that¡¯s a difficult question for me. I¡¯ve been in this industry for so many years, so I¡¯m sure I¡¯ve made a lot of enemies. Maybe they¡¯re businesspetitors!¡± ¡°Oh, really? How dare you bully the Zheng family? Zeyu, I hope that you can find out who the mastermind is as soon as possible. The Zheng family will not allow such a thing to happen. My grandson will not be bullied by others. ¡± Zheng Zeyu was stunned for a moment before he nodded.¡±¡±Grandpa, don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll definitely find out the truth. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s for the best, Zeyu! You and Zeyi are both my grandsons. I hope you¡¯ll both be well. All the best!¡± Old master Zheng said as he patted Zheng Zeyu¡¯s shoulder with a meaningful look. Zheng Zeyu looked at old master Zheng¡¯s back and his eyes slowly turned cold. Old master Zheng was obviously not trusting Him. ¡°Check? He just wanted the truth! I¡¯ll help you find out the truth. ¡± Zheng Zeyu sneered and left. Ma Shan heard their conversation and followed old master Zheng to the study.¡±¡±Can I talk to you?¡± When old master Zheng saw that it was Ma Shan, his expression immediately turned ugly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Old master Zheng asked coldly. ¡°I just heard that you asked Zeyu to investigate Zeyi¡¯s assassination. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea.¡± Old master Zheng didn¡¯t expect her toe to him because of this. He was a little interested and didn¡¯t know what he wanted to say. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? Something happened to the older brother, so I asked the younger brother to help investigate. Is there anything wrong?¡± ¡°That¡¯s definitely right. But you also know that Zeyu can¡¯t do anything other than y normally. I¡¯m just worried that he¡¯ll make you angry if he can¡¯t find out!¡± Ma Shan was good at finding excuses, but old master Zheng didn¡¯t want to hear them. ¡°Ma Shan, I don¡¯t think you should interfere in this matter. After all, let the young people solve their own problems! Zeyu¡¯s already a grown man, so you don¡¯t have to control him in everything. He should have his own life. ¡± Old master Zheng said to Ma Shan, who nodded in agreement.¡±¡±Dad. I admit that you¡¯re right, but I¡¯m just worried that he¡¯ll hold you up!¡± ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to worry about this anymore. No matter what, Zeyu is still a member of the Zheng family. I believe in him. Alright, I¡¯m going to rest. You can go out.¡± Old master Zheng had given the order to leave, so no matter how unwilling Ma Shan was, she could only leave first. ¡°Mom, did you go to reason with Grandpa just now?¡± Zheng Zeyu pulled Ma Shan aside and asked. Ma Shan nodded,¡±¡±Yeah! I¡¯m just worried about you. Look at you, you¡¯re already an adult, but you still can¡¯t let people stop worrying! How could you agree to investigate this matter? this is clearly a trap!¡± ¡°Mom, since you know this is a trap, do you think I have a choice?¡± ¡°Then how are you going to investigate? are we going to step out and do it ourselves?¡± Zheng Zeyu smiled.¡±Grandpa just wants the truth. We¡¯ll just give him the truth. As for the rest, it¡¯ll depend on their ability to ept it.¡± ¡°Zeyu, what do you mean?¡± Ma Shan asked as if she did not understand. ¡°Didn¡¯t grandfather ask me to find the murderer? then why don¡¯t I just find him the murderer?¡± Chapter 601

¡°You mean you¡¯ll just randomly find someone?¡± Although Ma Shan was a little naggy at times, she was not stupid and naturally understood Zheng Zeyu¡¯s words. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about it. Anyway, I¡¯ll definitelyplete grandpa¡¯s task. Don¡¯t worry!¡± Zheng Zeyi was almost fully recovered under the daily care of Qiao si. His wounds had also slowly formed scabs and he could get out of bed to exercise. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯ve almost recovered. Why don¡¯t we go home and rest?¡± Zheng Zeyi said as he looked at joesse who was packing her things. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get you discharged tomorrow.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded.¡±Alright, sisi, thank you for all this time. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to recover so quickly!¡± Joes looked at him seriously and said,¡¯you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me, do you? No matter what I do for you, it¡¯s what I should do. If it wasn¡¯t for me, you wouldn¡¯t have been hospitalized, so it¡¯s only natural for me to take care of you. ¡± ¡°Sisi, Did you know? When I saw the daggering at you, I had no other thoughts. I just didn¡¯t want you to get hurt, so I rushed over. Who knew it would hurt so much? fortunately, I didn¡¯t stab you. ¡± Zheng Zeyi felt a little cold and calm when he recalled what had happened that day. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I hope you won¡¯t be so foolish in the future. I won¡¯t allow you to do such dangerous things again. My child is not born yet. I don¡¯t want anything to happen to you before he is born.¡± Zheng Zeyi hugged joesse and said,¡¯don¡¯t worry! I won¡¯t do it again in the future. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m a man of my word. Alright, the soup is getting cold. I¡¯ll bring it over for you to drink.¡± Because of Qiao sisi¡¯s presence, the nurse in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ward would note in. Every time she came in, she would knock on the door, afraid of disturbing them. ¡°Mr. Zheng. I¡¯ll change your dressing. ¡± ¡°Nurse, he should be more or less fully recovered, right?¡± Joes asked worriedly. The nurse nodded.¡±Yes, Mr. Zheng¡¯s physique is very good, and he¡¯s recovering very quickly. So, you can be discharged soon.¡± Zheng Zeyi was not willing to return to the Zheng family immediately after he returned. Instead, he returned to his and joesse¡¯s small house. ¡°Grandpa will be worried if we don¡¯t go back. Why don¡¯t we go back and take a look? It¡¯s good to tell them that we¡¯re safe!¡± Qiao si si still felt that she had to go back, but Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression immediately copsed. ¡°But I still want to be alone with you. Let¡¯s go back tomorrow, okay?¡± Zheng ze suddenly acted like a child, and it was a little unbearable for joesse. ¡°Alright, alright, whatever you think, as long as you¡¯re happy! Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll make you a meal! It¡¯s been a long time since you¡¯ve eaten my cooking. ¡± Although Zheng Zeyi really wanted to eat it, Jossi was pregnant. He was really worried. ¡°How about I do it! Sisi, you¡¯re pregnant, so don¡¯t tire yourself out. ¡± Joes was unhappy this time,¡±¡±If I say I¡¯ll do it, I¡¯ll do it. Hurry up and get out. Don¡¯t worry! It¡¯ll be fine to cook a meal. ¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll go out. I¡¯ll help you!¡± Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression, Qiao si could only ept it reluctantly.¡±I can help.¡± After the two of them worked hard together, a table full of colorful dishes was ready. ¡°It smells so good!¡± ¡°Hurry up and eat!¡± Zheng ze was almost drooling. Joes let him eat first. ¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite.¡± After eating and drinking to his heart¡¯s content, Zheng Zeyi rubbed his stomach with a satisfied expression. ¡°Sisi. After you give birth to the child, I¡¯ll be in charge of taking care of the child, and you¡¯ll be in charge of cooking for us. It¡¯s too delicious. ¡± ¡°No problem ...¡± ¡°Zeyi, who do you think is behind the assassination? That Man in ck had his eyes on me from the start, which means he was here to kill me. ¡± Joes could not help but recall what had happened that day. He felt that something was amiss. ¡°So, what do you think it could be?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked with a smile. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s an enemy of mine who came to seek revenge? And then the wrong person was found. ¡± Joes asked. Zheng ze could not help but smile when he saw how cute joesse was when she analyzed the situation. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t worry. As long as I¡¯m here, I¡¯ll chase away all your enemies. Moreover, I don¡¯t think this matter has anything to do with your enemies. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not want to see Jossi¡¯s self-ming expression as he consoled her. ¡°Zeyi, will you still investigate?¡± Joes raised her head and asked. ¡°Sisi, I know you¡¯re worried about me and don¡¯t want me to take risks, but I have no choice.¡± If he didn¡¯t investigate today, the other party would continue to push his luck. Joes was already in danger to begin with. He had to protect her. ¡°Zeyi, I know you don¡¯t want this to happen, but think about the child in my stomach. What you¡¯re doing is too dangerous. I¡¯m really worried that something might happen.¡± Zheng ze pulled joesse to his side and sat down.¡±How about this! I promise you that I will be fine. I¡¯ll definitely be healthy and wait for the child to be born, okay?¡± ¡°But Zeyi, if you insist on investigating, it¡¯ll be dangerous, I ...¡± ¡°Trust me,¡± Zheng Zeyi did not say anything else. He only used three words to make Qiao si feel more at ease. ¡°Zeyi, I can agree to let you investigate. But you have to promise me one thing. If you don¡¯t agree to this, then we¡¯ll talk about other things. ¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°As long as you have a mission, you must bring me along. Unless I¡¯m not going to let you go. ¡± This was the biggestpromise that Joes had made. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m really scared of you.¡± Zheng ze finally managed to get Jossi to sleep after much difficulty, then he made a call. ¡°Help me check on the hospital. Oh yes, do it in secret. I don¡¯t want anything to go wrong.¡± Zheng Zeyi already had a candidate in mind. All he lost was a piece of evidence. This time, no matter who it was, as long as he found out who it was, he would settle the score with them one by one. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, I¡¯d like to see how long you canugh.¡± The reason he didn¡¯t do this before was that he felt there was no need to make such a big deal out of it. However, these people didn¡¯t seem to understand him, so it was better to do it himself. Zheng Zeyu had been looking for a suitable reason to deal with it for the past two days. ¡°Zeyu, how is it?¡± Ma Shan was still a little worried. From time to time, he woulde over and say a few words. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t worry! The matter has already been settled, we just need to find someone. ¡± Zheng Zeyu had thought of many good games these few days, but in the end, he gave up. Chapter 602

Chapter 602: Chapter 603-no ws

Trantor: 549690339

This matter had really blown up a little. Moreover, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. If the game wasn¡¯t done well, the old man would expose it. Then he would lose more than he gained. ¡°Zeyu, mom knows that you¡¯ve always had your own opinions when doing things and don¡¯t need mom¡¯s help at all. However, mom still wants to tell you that no matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you need mom¡¯s help, just let me know.¡± Ma Shan looked at her son¡¯s confident expression and couldn¡¯t help but speak. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry.¡± It was another word offort, mixed with a little impatience. Ma Shan had wanted to say something, but in the end, she only opened her mouth and did not say a word. Then, he turned around and left. At most, if anything happened, she could juste out and take care of it. In any case, the Zheng family could only belong to her son in the end! During this period of time, not only did the old man get Zheng Zeyu to investigate this matter, the hospital had also been putting pressure on them. It had been so long, but there was still no news from the hospital. Thus, after Zheng Zeyu had found the person, he waited for another two days. He pretended that he had finally found the person and went to report the situation to the old man. Knock, knock, knock~ Zheng Zeyu knocked on the old man¡¯s door. ¡°Enter.¡± A vigorous and powerful voice came from inside. The next second, the door opened and Zheng Zeyu appeared in front of the old man. ¡°Zeyu, it¡¯s you. Is there something you need from me today?¡± The old man looked at his grandson in front of him. His expression was calm, and there was no trace of the doting and loving look he had when he looked at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Yes, Grandpa. I¡¯ve already done what you asked me to do. After my investigation, I¡¯ve finally found the murderer who killed my brother. ¡± Zheng Zeyu took in all of the old man¡¯s facial expressions and immediately reported. After saying that, he looked at the old man without blinking, as if waiting for something. Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight fluctuation on the old man¡¯s calm face. Zheng Zeyu could not describe the emotion that came and left quickly. Even so, it still made Zheng Zeyu extremely jealous and resentful of Zheng Zeyi. Look, even if he tried his best to do his best, he was still an illegitimate child who got zero points in front of the old man! However, Zheng Zeyi did not reveal his true feelings in front of the old man. ¡°Really? Who was that person? Where is he?¡± Out of excitement, the old man threw out three questions in a row. ¡°Grandpa, you don¡¯t know that person, and neither do I. He¡¯s a very dangerous person, but he¡¯s under my control now, so don¡¯t worry. As this matter involves my brother¡¯s personal safety, I told him about finding the murderer and invited him back.¡° Zheng Zeyu purposely used the word ¡°please¡± to remind the old man that the grandson he doted on so much did note back to see him immediately after he was discharged. Unfortunately, the old man did not care about these things at all. ¡°Very good, Zeyu. You¡¯ve done well in this matter. However, Zeyi has just recovered from a serious illness. In fact, we should be the ones leading the murderer to find him.¡° The old man looked at Zheng Zeyu and spoke directly. ¡°Yes,¡± Zheng Zeyu responded and left. As this matter was rted to the murderer, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi did not dare to dy and came over as soon as they received the call. It had only been half an hour since they arrived. Half an hourter. ¡°Alright, Zeyu. Now that everyone is here, where is the murderer? you can get him toe out now.¡± The old man nced at Zheng Zeyu and instructed him. Listening to the old man¡¯s instructions, Zheng Zeyu stretched out his palm, raised it in the air, and patted it twice. Not long after, two strong bodyguards walked in with a man who was tied up. Although the man was being helped, he could still talk. The moment he saw Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi, it was as if he had been provoked, and his mouth was full of words about fighting and killing. However, this person clearly did not seem like a normal person. ¡°Zeyu, this ...¡± The old man could tell that there was something wrong with this person and immediately cast a doubtful look at Zheng Zeyu. In fact, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si had the same doubts as the old man. However, with grandfather around, they did not need to say much and just listened. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s just as you think. This person isn¡¯t a normal person. He¡¯s a mental patient in the hospital. Because his brain was stimted, he especially hates couples who are in love. I think he was too envious of the rtionship between my brother and sister-inw and identally bumped into them. He was so agitated that he wanted to kill them. ¡± In front of old master Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi, Zheng Zeyu said the lines that he had long memorized in his heart. ¡°Zeyi, sisi, what do you two think?¡± After listening to Zheng Zeyu¡¯s exnation, old master Zheng turned his head and threw the question directly to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Grandfather, I know that getting Zeyu to find the murderer is for my own good. It¡¯s been really hard on me these past few days. However, because human lives are more important than anything else, as an older brother, I can¡¯t simply use a good person just because of a little hard work from my younger brother, even if this person is a lunatic.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s deep eyes looked at the lunatic a few times, but he still spoke honestly in the end. The words that he said shocked the old man and made Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face a little embarrassed. Zheng Zeyi, you deserve to die! How dare you expose me in front of Grandpa! ¡°This person is the murderer that I found after my investigation. Big brother only saw him from a distance and said that I have wronged a good person. The basis of this really makes me curious. I heard that big brother¡¯s health is much better now. I hope big brother will be implicated and help me exin.¡± Zheng Zeyu looked at Zheng Zeyi and replied. Exin? He also wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass Zheng Zeyi in front of the old master. Ha, whether it was the murder n or the n to find a scapegoat, he had arranged it wlessly and wlessly. He wanted to see how Zheng Zeyi, who had no evidence at all, would ruin his n today! ¡°Zeyi, Zeyu is right. I¡¯ve already seen the evidence he¡¯s collected while investigating the murderer. As far as the current situation is concerned, there are no ws in this evidence.¡± The old man sipped the tea in his cup and said. ¡°Oh, Grandpa, I wonder if the evidence Zeyu gave you has the hospital¡¯s surveince video?¡± Zheng Zeyi opened his mouth to confirm. ¡°Surveince? Then, isn¡¯t it broken?¡± Upon hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Zheng Zeyu also became excited. ¡°It¡¯s fixed. I¡¯ll get someone to send the surveince camera over now.¡± Chapter 603

Trantor: 549690339

Zheng Zeyi looked at the excited Zheng Zeyu and said,¡± After saying this, Zheng Zeyu took out his phone and called someone. They did not know what the other party said, but everyone heard what Zheng Zeyi said clearly. It was just a simple sentence. Send the surveince footage over as soon as possible. While waiting for the surveince, Zheng Zeyu wanted to leave several times. However, the excuse he used each time was too old-fashioned and clich¨¦. He was immediately seen through by the old man. ¡°Grandpa, your cup is empty. I¡¯ll go get you a new cup.¡± Zheng Zeyu stood up as he spoke. ¡°Sit down. Butler, you go.¡± The Butler looked at Zheng Zeyu and spoke. ¡°Um, Grandpa, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I¡¯ll go make a call first.¡± After a while, Zheng Zeyu found another excuse for himself. ¡°What could be more important than your brother¡¯s safety? Zeyu, Grandpa sees that you¡¯ve been feeling uneasy. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?¡± Although old master Zheng was old, his heart was not old at all. He could tell that Zheng Zeyu had been trying to find a way to slip away. However, he had never expected that the old man would expose him without giving him any face. ¡°Grandpa, I ...¡± ¡°Dad. Zeyu didn¡¯t mean it that way. He had indeed been feeling unwell for the past two days. In order to find this murderer, she has been suffering for the past few days. It was not easy to find her, but she was questioned by ze Yi. Perhaps he felt a sense of defeat, so he wanted to leave. ¡± Ma Shan saw through her son¡¯s thoughts and spoke up first to help him. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, Grandpa.¡± Zheng Zeyu nodded as he spoke to his mother. At the same time, he regained some of his rationality after receiving Ma Shan¡¯s nce. That¡¯s right! His n was wless. So what if the surveince cameras were fixed? It was so dark that night, who could have seen his face? ¡°I¡¯m just guessing. ¡± Zheng Zeyi spoke at the right time. This farce was over. Just as Zheng Zeyi finished speaking, the surveince footage was sent over. The surveince footage was not long, and because it had been repaired, the originally unclear image became even more blurry. After looking at the surveince footage, Zheng Zeyu heaved a long sigh of relief. He was much more rxed. ¡°Brother, this picture is so blurry. How can you say that I¡¯m not looking for the murderer?!¡± Zheng Zeyu, who had regained his confidence, looked at Zheng Zeyi and asked. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? let¡¯s wait for ze Yi to finish. ¡± As the old man spoke, he red at Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Indeed, we can¡¯t see the Assassin¡¯s appearance clearly from this section, but we can tell from the figure. This person¡¯s figure is neither fat nor thin, and this person¡¯s body is slightly fatter. It¡¯s only been half a month, so it¡¯s not possible for him to gain weight so quickly. ¡± ¡°And as far as I know, the mental patients are guarded by special people. If someone came out from inside, why didn¡¯t the relevant personnel inform the director? Why didn¡¯t the director tell us earlier?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s analysis was logical, and no one could refute it. ¡°Grandpa, there¡¯s one more important thing.¡± Qiao si si nced at Zheng Zeyi and spoke. ¡°Oh, what is it? tell me.¡± The old man looked at Jossi and his curiosity was piqued. ¡°When the assassin tried to kill me, I saw his eyes. He was also injured. The injury on this person¡¯s arm is a new injury, so it¡¯s not him.¡± After getting the old man¡¯s approval, Qiao si pointed out the biggest loophole in Zheng Zeyu¡¯s n. At this point, old master Zheng believed in Zheng ze and Qiao sisi¡¯s words without a doubt. Zheng Zeyu listened to this exnation and tried to defend himself, but he was interrupted by old master Zheng before he could speak. ¡°He¡¯s so impetuous at such a young age. He thinks that he¡¯s great, but in the end, he¡¯s still been deceived by others.¡± As old master Zheng spoke, the reprimanding tone in his words became more and more obvious. Standing at the side and staring at old master Zheng unwillingly, Zheng Zeyu didn¡¯t dare to say anything, even though he was unwilling. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t tell. After all, you weren¡¯t there at the time.¡± Qiao sisi consoled. When Zheng Zeyu heard this, the smile on his face carried a hint of mockery. Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t tell that this woman is deliberately trying to defame me. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re my grandson, but look at what you¡¯re doing now. You can¡¯t even do this. When will you be more serious in your work?¡± This caused the old man to continue to reprimand him, his words also carrying the attitude of someone who expected better from him. The Zheng family had never been so useless. What was wrong with his grandson? The hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists. Zheng Zeyu left unwillingly. Ma Shan saw this and hurriedly chased after him. When she saw Zheng Zeyu standing in the courtyard, she smiled and went up to him. ¡°Zeyu, it¡¯s nothing. Grandfather has only misunderstood you this time. I also know that you¡¯ve indeed put in effort, but sometimes, our efforts don¡¯t need to be acknowledged by others. You can¡¯t get angry because of these things. If you get angry, you¡¯ll only be letting them have their wishes.¡± Ma Shan stood there and keptforting Zheng Zeyu¡¯s emotions. Even if the other party ignored her, she was happy and at ease. After all, this was her biological son. After calming down Zheng Zeyu, Ma Shan then returned to her room unwillingly. Father Zheng was sitting there quietly without moving, as if he had entered a meditative state. ¡°Seriously, you¡¯re already an adult, but you can¡¯t even protect your own child. Your son has suffered so much, what are you doing? Are you going to be a coward in this room? If this goes on, your eldest son will really be pleased with himself. ¡± After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party still did not reply, Ma Shan continued to scold him.¡±When will you be able to act like a father? maybe one day, your eldest son will ride on your neck and sh * t. Who can youin to then? just stay like this. No wonder you can¡¯t win your father¡¯s trust.¡± Ma Shan vented all her anger on father Zheng. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she did not continue to say anything. On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi had also found out something fishy, and the results of the investigation had fully shown that the person who had assassinated the doctor had a very simr figure to Zheng Zeyu. As if he had thought of something, Zheng Zeyi smiled slightly. However, his smile was filled with infinite coldness. Since that was the case, he might as well catch a turtle in a jar. People who had done something wrong would feel uneasy in their sleep. Chapter 604

He thought about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile, which also revealed a little pride. Zheng Zeyi unconsciously thought of the wound on Zheng Zeyu¡¯s hand, and he had a rough judgment in his heart. If this was really Zheng Zeyu¡¯s doing, he would probably be in a difficult position right now. In such a situation, no matter how calm a person was, they would not be able to escape from the clutches of fear. In the living room, Zheng Zeyi looked at Joes who was sitting beside him and smiled. ¡°If you really find the murderer, what will you do?¡± Zheng ze asked with a confused look in his eyes. After all, he was his half-brother, but how could he be easily forgiven for doing such a thing? However, Joes shrugged her shoulders nonchntly and did not think too much about it. ¡°Let¡¯s find the murderer first. At the moment, we don¡¯t have many clues. All that we found were false. ¡± Joes was rather calm as shemented, not showing any negative emotions at all because she could not find the murderer. It was better to let nature take its course for some things. It was easier said than done to want a result. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you home for dinner. It¡¯s been a long time since you¡¯ve had dinner with Grandpa. Why don¡¯t you take this opportunity to meet him? Grandpa likes you so much anyway.¡± Zheng ze thought of his n and immediately extended an invitation. Only by being closer to the enemy would they be able to better detect the enemy¡¯s situation. Joesse agreed without thinking. After all, the olddy was getting on in years, and it was important to make her happy when doing something that made her happy. He brought Jossi back to the Zheng family. The old man was overjoyed when he saw Jossi. ¡°Now that you¡¯vee back, why don¡¯t you stay for a meal? no matter what, there¡¯s no dish in the kitchen. How about cooking something that you like?¡± Old master Zheng treated his grandson with great enthusiasm. His eyes were full of admiration. He was most satisfied with Zheng Zeyi. A decisive person who knew what he wanted and what he didn¡¯t want was his real grandson. What made him even more satisfied was that Joes was also pregnant with a child. ¡°Grandpa, to be honest, we came back today to get a free meal. The food cooked by the chef in this house is really delicious, so it¡¯s hard to forget after eating it once. After all, this is your own home, and the taste of home is always unforgettable.¡± Joesse said as she looked at the happy smile on old master Zheng¡¯s face. She was genuinely happy. Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows when he did not see Zheng Zeyu after checking in private. Did he already know that they wereing in advance? If that was the case, his brother was quite well-informed. ¡°Where did grandfather Zheng Zeyu go? Why haven¡¯t I seen him since I came back? did he go out to fool around again?¡± Zheng ze asked with a hint of disdain in his tone. If it wasn¡¯t to investigate the truth, he wouldn¡¯t even bother to ask that person. Upon hearing that name, old master Zheng¡¯s emotions started to get a little agitated. He had only reprimanded him a few times, and that brat had actually rushed out the door. He had really grown up and his wings had hardened. ¡°Don¡¯t mention that B * stard to me. I only reprimanded him a little, and he ran out of the house. I really don¡¯t know how such a child is raised.¡± As the old man spoke angrily, his mood started to be impetuous when he thought of what Zheng Zeyu had done. If only Zheng Zeyu could be half as sensible as Zheng Zeyi. Even if it was half, it would be fine. He was not as outstanding as her, not as smart as her, but he had her temper. ¡°Forget it, Grandpa. Don¡¯t get angry over such a small thing. It¡¯s not worth it if you ruin your health. Anyway, sisi and I came back specially to see you.¡± Zheng Zeyi cleverly changed the topic. Indeed, he did not want his grandfather to be upset over these things. He was just an insignificant person, so there was no need to affect their emotions. Upon hearing the word ¡®great-grandson¡¯, the old man¡¯s face immediately lit up with a bright smile. The way he looked at joesse was also a little strange. It was good to be a grandson. As long as he had a great-grandson, he would not be lonely. ¡°I¡¯ll quickly ask the kitchen to make a bowl of old hen soup. The chickens these days are quite fat and strong, so it¡¯ll be perfect for chicken soup.¡± As old master Zheng spoke, he even specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a table full of nourishing dishes for his granddaughter-inw to nourish her body. She pinched Zheng Zeyi¡¯s thigh without a change in her expression. Recalling the remarks that she had just heard, Qiao SI¡¯s face turned slightly red. Didn¡¯t youe here for dinner? Why did it suddenly involve her? She didn¡¯t want to be the object of protection for the whole family. Moreover ... When Ma Shan came out of the room, she saw the three of them in the middle of a lively discussion. When she happened to hear their conversation, she felt a little nervous. ¡°I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s ze Yi who¡¯s back. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll personally cook today. I¡¯ll make a sumptuous dinner for all of you. Although I haven¡¯t shown off my culinary skills in a long time, it¡¯s still more or less presentable.¡± After Ma Shan finished speaking, she entered the kitchen without waiting for anyone to reject her. The kitchen was the closest to the living room. From the kitchen, they could clearly hear the conversation in the living room. ¡°Oh right, Grandpa, I almost forgot to tell you. There¡¯s a suitable oue for that matter. It¡¯s going much smoother than we thought, and there¡¯s even a whole new piece of good news.¡± As Zheng Zeyi spoke, he deliberately made himself more agitated so that he could attract the attention of the enemy. In the kitchen, Ma Shan¡¯s actions of cutting vegetables paused. Her ears could not help but perk up as if she wanted to eavesdrop on the door. ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯d like to see who has the guts to provoke the Zheng family. I won¡¯t let them off easily no matter who they are.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s words were filled with hostility. No matter what, he could not hurt the Zheng family. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the details, but the best news is that the damaged surveince footage has been restored to normal with the help of the technicians. That means that I¡¯ll be able to see who the person who harmed Joes is when I have the chance tomorrow.¡± Zheng Zeyi exined with a smile, and his tone suddenly rose a lot. Joes sat by the side and listened to these discussions with a calm expression. Chapter 605

Chapter 605: I¡¯m a victim too

¡°Pa!¡± Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the kitchen, disturbing the people sitting outside. The sound came from the kitchen. Everyone in the living room knew that Ma Shan had said that she was going to the kitchen to cook. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Old master Zheng turned to the kitchen and asked loudly. He looked at Joes nervously and asked her in a gentle voice if she had been frightened. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Hearing old man Zheng¡¯s concern, Jossi immediately said,¡± Seeing this, the old man was relieved. At this moment, a voice came from the kitchen.¡±I¡¯m sorry, dad. It¡¯s all my fault. I saw that the te was a little dirty. Sisi is still pregnant. No matter what, I¡¯m still the grandmother of this child. I can¡¯t let sisi eat something dirty, right?¡± Ma Shan walked out of the kitchen and took out a tissue to wipe her hands, trying to smooth things over. What else could she say other than using the child in Joes ¡®stomach? Was she supposed to tell the old man the truth and tell him that she was pretending to cook because she felt guilty for her son, but in fact, she was hiding in the kitchen and washing the dishes. Then, she happened to hear their conversation and was worried that her son¡¯s dirty deeds would be investigated, so her hand slipped and broke the bowl? No! What Zheng Zeyi said just now was only what would happen in the future. It had not happened yet. How could hey down his arms and surrender when the other party had yet to show their evidence and weapons? As she thought about it, Ma Shan realized that she had already made up her mind, so she used the excuse she had just given to avoid the old man. Old master Zheng did not like Ma Shan to begin with. After hearing her exnation, he was even more dissatisfied with her.¡±Look at you, you¡¯re always so clumsy in everything you do! It wasn¡¯t easy for Zeyi and sisi toe back for a meal, and you did such a thing. No wonder Zeyu was educated by you to this extent! AI!¡± Old master Zheng looked at Ma Shan and scolded her. At the end of his sentence, the old man sighed heavily, his face full of disappointment. Ma Shan didn¡¯t say anything as she listened to her grandfather¡¯s scolding. She lowered her head and let the old man scold her. In fact, it was true. Since the old man was willing to scold her, it must be because he believed her words. Since that was the case, she did not lose out in this scolding! However, she didn¡¯t know that her obedience had attracted the attention of another person. It was hard for Ma Shan to not attract Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attention. To be honest, even though Zheng Zeyi had never liked Ma Shan, he still understood her. If it was in the past, Ma Shan would definitely try her best to exin the reason for the bowl smashing and push the responsibility to her. There was only one reason for Ma Shan¡¯s abnormal behavior. She was feeling guilty! There was only one thing that could make her feel guilty. Her biological son, Zheng Zeyu, was the assassin who had appeared in the hospital that night! At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi looked up at Joes. Coincidentally, Joes also looked up at Zheng Zeyi. Now, the tacit understanding between the two of them had reached the point where they couldmunicate with their eyes. After a brief eye contact, Qiao sisi nodded at Zheng Zeyi almost imperceptibly. Finally, she looked at the old man and said,¡±alright, grandfather, I believe that Auntie didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Actually, ording to seniority, I should be the one to help out in the kitchen. It¡¯s all my fault. I couldn¡¯t really understand what you were talking about with Zeyi just now. Auntie, I¡¯ll go to the kitchen and help you clear the debris, okay?¡± ¡°The broken pieces of the bowls and chopsticks are the hardest to clean up. It would be bad if they identally hurt someone if they didn¡¯t clean up properly.¡± After that, Joes looked at Ma Shan and added. ¡°Sisi, your body ...¡± ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Grandpa, she¡¯s too free these days. Just let her be.¡± Jossi and Zheng ze spoke one after another when they saw the old man¡¯s worried face. ¡°Alright, then you must be careful and pay attention to your safety.¡± Seeing that Joes was insistent, the old man finallypromised. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry.¡± Joes patiently promised the old man once more before taking the initiative to head to the kitchen. Since the pregnant woman, Joes, had already gone to the kitchen, Ma Shan would be too insensible if she were to continue standing there. The moment Joes turned around, Ma Shan followed closely behind. ¡°Sisi, I just heard from Zeyi that the destroyed surveince equipment has been repaired. Is this true?¡± Ma Shan could not help but ask the moment they entered the kitchen. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Who would dare to lie to grandfather about this kind of thing?¡± Joes raised her head and looked at Ma Shan. After giving an affirmative answer, she gave her a question mark. ¡°Aiyo!¡± Another scream was heard. This time, it was Ma Shan. ¡°Auntie, what¡¯s wrong? Did a ss fragment cut your hand? Was the wound deep? Get up and stop cleaning up, I¡¯ll help you treat your wound. ¡± House guard Ma Shan¡¯s every move was observed by Joes, but she acted as if she did not know anything. Her face was filled with shock and worry, and the words she said were extremely sincere, making it impossible for anyone to find any fault with her. With that, Joes immediately asked the maid to bring some alcohol cotton swabs and band-aids. ¡°You still have the cheek to call yourself an elder? look at you, you¡¯ve turned yourself into this just by preparing dinner. I really don¡¯t know what kind of immoral things my Zheng ancestors did to have a wife like you. If you¡¯re just a little better, I¡¯ll be satisfied!¡± Old master Zheng was already angry but had nowhere to vent his anger. Now that he saw Ma Shan¡¯s clumsiness, he was even more furious! After saying that, old master Zheng mmed the cup in his hand on the coffee table, his face red with anger. ¡°Dad, no matter what, I¡¯m a victim. I don¡¯t want to get hurt. It¡¯s been so many years. Can¡¯t you see how good I am? can¡¯t you ...¡± ¡°Grandpa, I don¡¯t think aunty would want this to happen either. It¡¯s probably because she¡¯s been worried about Zeyu these past few days and is a little tired. That¡¯s why she¡¯s in a daze and absent-minded for a moment, resulting in her current state. Please don¡¯t me her anymore.¡± ¡°Auntie, since you¡¯re not in a good mood today, why don¡¯t you go to the living room and rest for a while? I¡¯ll prepare dinner for you.¡± Joes consoled the angry old man whileforting Ma Shan¡¯s emotions. After her adjustment, both the old master and Ma Shan were better. After Ma Shan left, the dinner was naturally prepared by joesse. After listening to Qiao sisi¡¯s words, the old man was extremely happy. He could not help butpare Qiao sisi with Ma Shan, using Ma Shan toplement Qiao sisi¡¯s good side. Chapter 606

Joes told Ma Shan to go back and rest. Ma Shan nced at old master Zheng, who was sitting at the side, and then returned to her room. After making sure that no one was following her, Ma Shan locked the door and took out her phone to call Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Hey, Zeyu, where are you? When are youing back?¡± When Zheng ze saw that Ma Shan had returned to her room, he found an excuse to follow her secretly. ¡°Zeyu, Zheng Zeyi and the rest are back today. I feel like Zheng Zeyi already knows something ...¡± Zheng Zeyi pushed the phone in through the crack of the door and went to the toilet next door. He could hear everything that Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu said on the phone. ¡°Zeyu, Qiao sisi has been discharged from the hospital. Although she said that she didn¡¯t see her back then, I can feel that I¡¯m panicking inside. Now that she¡¯s sitting in front of me, I¡¯m panicking inside. Zeyu,e back quickly!¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry! It¡¯s okay, even if they know, they don¡¯t have any evidence. If they had evidence, it wouldn¡¯t be like this, so you don¡¯t have to be so nervous. You should still do what you should. ¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s voice was also heard. Although it was very low, Zheng Zeyi could still hear it clearly. ¡°But what if they tell your dad? And your grandfather, when you¡¯re not at home, they¡¯re making things difficult for me. Zeyu, when will we be able to get through this? I really can¡¯t stay in this ce any longer. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s voice was filled with grievance. She did feel a little wronged after hearing old master Zheng¡¯s words. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be anxious. We have to hold it in now. As long as you can hold it in, we¡¯ll have won half the battle. Hold on and wait for me toe back.¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s kindness did carry some weight. Ma Shan felt much better after hearing his words. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. After Ma Shan hung up the phone, Zheng Zeyi came out of the toilet and immediately went to knock on Ma Shan¡¯s door. Ma Shan had just finished her call when she heard someone knocking on the door. She was shocked. ¡°Z-Zeyi, what are you doing here?¡± Ma Shan saw that Zheng Zeyi was still in shock. ¡°Auntie, did you do something wrong? You¡¯re so scared to see me. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said on purpose. Ma Shanughed.¡±Zeyi, you¡¯re really good at joking. What kind of guilty things could I have done? Is there something you need?¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking for you to eat!¡± Zheng Zeyi kicked his phone away without a sound and smiled. ¡°Okay, I know. I¡¯ll go down now.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat, then don ¡®t. Do you need someone to treat you to a meal? Is there a need to be so pretentious when you cut your hand?¡± Old master Zheng looked at Ma Shan impatiently. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I ...¡± Ma Shan lowered her head with a wronged expression. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t say that about aunt MA. It¡¯s normal for her to go back and bandage her hand. Let¡¯s eat! I made this myself, Grandpa, have a taste. ¡± Old man Zheng¡¯s expression softened a little when joesse came out to smooth things over.¡±¡±Sisi, you should eat more. Your body needs to be nourished. You should eat more!¡± ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t worry! This child is very healthy. ¡± Qiao si smiled and looked at Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi also smiled.¡±¡±Alright, Grandpa told you to eat more, so you should eat more! Look at you, you¡¯ve lost so much weight. ¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s gaze suddenly turned to Ma Shan. ¡°Where¡¯s Zeyu? Didn¡¯t he know that his brother wasing back today? I already told you that it¡¯s a family gathering today. Why isn¡¯t he here? Was he really that busy every day? Do you need me to invite him back?¡± Old master Zheng looked at Ma Shan with a sharp gaze, and Ma Shan¡¯s face immediately turned red. ¡°Dad, Zeyu really has something on today. He also wants toe back earlier, but he¡¯s busy withpany matters!¡± After Ma Shan finished speaking, old master Zheng sneered.¡±¡±Are you busy withpany matters? Do you think I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s been doing every day? How many times have you been to thepany?¡± ¡°Father, Zeyu goes to the office every day. Really, he works very hard every day, all because he wants you to acknowledge him. But father, can you have a little more confidence in him?¡± ¡°Trust him? Don¡¯t you know your son¡¯s condition? I don¡¯t think I need to say much about whether he¡¯s busy withpany affairs or doing something else every day, right?¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s words immediately left Ma Shan speechless. ¡°Dad, do you have some misunderstanding about Zeyu? He¡¯s been working seriously every day, and he¡¯s out today for work. Can you believe him just this once?¡± ¡°Trust him? How am I supposed to believe him? There must be a lot of gossip about him today, right?¡± Old master Zheng was so excited that he started coughing. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t be so agitated. Let¡¯s talk this out.¡± Joesse patted old man Zheng¡¯s back. ¡°Ma Shan, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you two have been doing behind my back every day. I¡¯m not willing to tell you, but that doesn¡¯t mean that I don¡¯t know anything. I¡¯ve given you some face, so you¡¯d better keep it. Don¡¯t be ungrateful.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s words were also particrly ruthless. He didn¡¯t leave any face. ¡°Dad, you¡¯ve really misunderstood.¡± ¡°You¡¯d better ask him toe back soon. Otherwise, don¡¯t evere back. Since this house can¡¯t amodate him, then don¡¯t evere back.¡± Ma Shan could only nod her head.¡±Dad, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go out and give him a call. I¡¯ll ask him where he is and ask him toe back immediately.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the best. ¡± Old master Zheng said coldly. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t get too excited.¡± Ma Shan ran to the side and dialed Zheng Zeyu¡¯s phone.¡±¡±Zeyu, where are you? The old man told you toe back immediately. Why don¡¯t youe back now? Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t let me off!¡± ¡°Mom, I still have something to deal with right now. I can¡¯t go back immediately. Can you hold on for a little longer?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to be punished,¡± Ma Shan said with some difficulty.¡±I really can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± ¡°Mom, just hold on for a little longer! I¡¯ll be back as soon as I¡¯m done with my work. I¡¯ll be back in half an hour at most. ¡± ¡°Alright! Thene back as soon as possible! I¡¯ll go and hold on a little longer. ¡± Ma Shan moved her phone to the dining table.¡±¡±Dad, just wait a little longer! He¡¯ll be back soon. ¡± ¡°Well, let¡¯s eat!¡± Old master Zheng didn¡¯t want to say anything more. He just pointed at the food on the table coldly. Just like that, Ma Shan lowered her head and ate her meal with an aggrieved expression. Chapter 607

After the meal, Zheng Zeyi and joesse helped to clean up the ce before leaving with the excuse that they had something to settle at home. Old master Zheng did not ask them to stay. However, Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu were not calm. The things that Zheng Zeyi had recorded today would be important weapons that would destroy their future. ¡°Zeyu, what do we do? If Zheng Zeyi hears about what happened between us, we¡¯ll be done for if he reveals the evidence to the public!¡± Ma Shan pulled Zheng Zeyu to the side and said anxiously after Zheng Zeyi and the rest left. Zheng Zeyu also fell silent. Once Zheng Zeyi found out the truth, he would definitely not let it go. Initially, he thought that Qiao sisi had already forgotten about what happened back then. Who knew that Zheng Zeyi would make a mistake this time? ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go check on Grandpa and dad first. I¡¯ll tell you when Ie back.¡± As soon as Zheng ze took out the recording pen and ced it on the table, Ma Shan¡¯s voice was heard. She recounted everything that they had done in the past few days in detail. ¡°With this recording, we can point out their crimes. This is great.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. Finally, those two people could get the punishment they deserved. However, this was not enough. Zheng Zeyu and the rest had done so many things. It was not as simple as just sending them to the police station. ¡°Sisi, make a few copies of the things in this recording pen. I want to give them a gift.¡± The corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. ¡°Zeyi, why don¡¯t we just forget about it? Now that we have the evidence, we can just hand them over to thew. I know you want to avenge me, but I don¡¯t want you to do anything that will put yourself in danger. ¡± Qiao Si was very clear that Zheng Zeyi was trying to cast a long line to catch a big fish. However, doing such things would usually involve his own safety. Qiao si just did not want Zheng Zeyi to get hurt. After all, the child wasing out soon. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Did you forget? I promised you that I wouldn¡¯t let myself get hurt again, so I¡¯ll definitely keep my word. ¡± Zheng Zeyi raised his hands and promised. ¡°Zeyi, what are you nning to do?¡± Qiao si si knew that if Zheng Zeyi had really decided on something, it would be useless no matter what she said. Hence, she only asked him what he nned to do and did not stop him. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that, sisi. Your most important task now is to stay at home and take care of the baby. Eat and drink well. I¡¯ll make arrangements for everything else.¡± Joes could only nod her head in agreement. After all, even if she knew, she would not be of much help. Zheng Zeyi picked up the recording pen and put it away. He had been secretly investigating some things recently. Now that he was almost done with the investigation, he only needed Zheng Zeyu to cooperate with him to close the. Zheng Zeyu sneaked a nce at old master Zheng from the study room¡¯s door and saw that he was reading the newspaper on his phone. He then went to look for Ma Shan with a peace of mind. ¡°Mother, tell me everything that happened today in detail. What exactly happened? why was Zheng Zeyi recording everything you said?¡± Ma Shan rubbed her hands together and looked at Zheng Zeyu like a child who had done something wrong.¡±¡±Zeyu, you won¡¯t me mommy, right? Mom really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I don¡¯t know why I told her everything. It was Zheng Zeyi, he did it on purpose. ¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t get too excited. I don¡¯t me you, I just want to know what happened at that time and think of a way to deal with it. ¡± Zheng Zeyu looked at the excited Ma Shan and held her hand tofort her. ¡°Zeyu, I really don¡¯t know what happened back then and I don¡¯t know why things turned out this way, but Zheng Zeyi did record it. Zeyu, what should we do? He¡¯ll definitely tell the police, and we¡¯ll be finished!¡± Zheng Zeyu was also very frustrated now. The things that he had prepared for so long had been destroyed just like that. However, he could not me Ma Shan either. The frustration in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. ¡°Mom, can you think before you speak in the future? you can¡¯t just say whatever you want.¡± Zheng Zeyu really felt like he was about to explode. Ma Shan felt a little aggrieved when she heard this. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m really sorry, Zeyu. It¡¯s alright. If the police pursue this matter, I¡¯ll go. This is all my fault. Don¡¯t worry, mom will definitely not let anything happen to you.¡± ¡°Mom, what are you saying? You¡¯re my mother? Even if I¡¯m going to take the me, I should be the one. Besides, we¡¯re fine now, aren¡¯t we? Don¡¯t worry! I won¡¯t let that happen. ¡± ¡°Zeyu, what are you nning to do?¡± Ma Shan looked at Zheng Zeyu and asked. ¡°Mom, Zheng Zeyi has been taking the evidence away for so long, but he still hasn¡¯t exposed us? Joes is so important to him. We treated her so badly and almost caused her to have a miscarriage. What do you think he¡¯s waiting for?¡± Zheng Zeyu frowned as he looked at Qiao si and asked. ¡°You¡¯re saying that Zheng Zeyu might have other ns?¡± Ma Shan asked. Zheng Zeyu nodded.¡±There are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that the recording in Zheng ze¡¯s hands can¡¯t be used as evidence against us. The other is that he¡¯s waiting for something.¡± ¡°Mom, if it¡¯s as you said and he recorded everything you said, it means that it can only be the second situation. He¡¯s waiting for the right time.¡± Zheng Zeyu knew better than anyone else what kind of person Zheng Zeyi was after fighting with him for so many years. ¡°Wait for an opportunity? What opportunity was he waiting for? Is he trying to do something to us? Or find an opportunity to threaten us because of this?¡± Ma Shan asked. ¡°She¡¯s waiting for an opportunity topletely crush me. But this will also give us time. Mother, wait at home with a peace of mind and help me look after grandfather and father. The two of them must not know about this. As for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side, I¡¯ll handle it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Ma Shan nodded. ¡°Second young master Zheng, what brings you to thepany? I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. ¡± When Zheng Zeyu appeared at thepany the next day, many people sighed. After all, Zheng Zeyu was famous for being yful, and thepany had only seen him a few times. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Everyone, work hard! I¡¯m here to find my brother. ¡± ¡°The president came early in the morning. He¡¯s in his office. You can go there directly!¡± Someone said. Zheng Zeyu nodded.¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. After Zheng Zeyu finished speaking, he went straight to the president¡¯s office. Just as he was about to knock on the door and enter, he heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voiceing from inside and immediately stopped knocking. Chapter 608

¡°Hey, how¡¯s the investigation going? I want to see the results as soon as possible, as well as the report and theparison results that I want toplete. ¡± Once Zheng ze hung up the phone, Zheng Zeyu paused and knocked on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± ¡°Brother, I¡¯m back to work.¡± Zheng Zeyu said directly after he went in. He looked at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s facial expression and did not seem to have noticed anything. It was still the same as before. ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t react much when he heard Zheng Zeyu¡¯s words. He only gave a faint ¡°hmm¡±. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m sorry. I want to change my position, can you help me?¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes unconsciously nced at Zheng Zeyi¡¯sputer screen. No one knew if he did it on purpose or not, but Zheng Zeyi turned off hisputer when he looked over. ¡°Change your position? What do you want to do?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked indifferently. ¡°Brother, you know that I don¡¯t do anything other than y. Why don¡¯t you give me an easier job, like being your assistant or secretary? I can go out with you to socialize every day. That way, I¡¯ll be more rxed.¡± Zheng Zeyu looked at Zheng Zeyi expectantly. Zheng Zeyi smiled.¡±Do you think it¡¯s easy to be my Secretary? Or are you trying to find something?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words stunned Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Brother, what are you saying? I¡¯m your younger brother. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to want to be your assistant? I just feel that I haven¡¯t done anything for you all these years. Now that I finally want to go back to thepany and work, I want to always be by your side. Brother, I don¡¯t think you need to think so much, right?¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s tone turned slightly cold, but Zheng Zeyi smiled.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯m just joking with you. If you want to keep learning from me, of course you can. I¡¯m sure that if dad knows about this, he¡¯ll be very happy. I happen to have a social gathering this afternoon. If you want toe, then you cane with me.¡± ¡°En, okay. Thank you, brother.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, you can go out first. Arrange a copy of the information for this afternoon¡¯s social event and send it to me. I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave you to do it.¡± Zheng Zeyu watched Zheng Zeyi leave. Although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he did not think too much about it because he saw that Zheng Zeyi did not take hisputer with him. ¡°After Zheng Zeyu left, he immediately went to turn on theputer. After entering the password a few times, he finally managed to turn it on.¡± Zheng Zeyu was about to take the next step when the office door opened. Zheng Zeyi stood at the door and looked at him coldly. ¡°How is it? Is there anything you need in myputer? I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to find it. Do you want me to help you?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked coldly. Zheng Zeyu immediately shut down hisputer and stood up.¡±Brother, it¡¯s not what you think. I just want to borrow yourputer to go online. You haven¡¯t arranged a job for me yet, right? Don¡¯t misunderstand, don¡¯t misunderstand. If there¡¯s anything that I can¡¯t know, I won¡¯t look at it. ¡± ¡°Oh, really? Myputer has a history of browsing. Why don¡¯t we see what you did to myputer? Or rather, what did you do with myputer just now?¡± ¡°I ...¡± Zheng Zeyu was at a loss for words. Zheng Zeyi sneered,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyu, I¡¯ve given you a chance, but you don¡¯t seem to know how to cherish it. I¡¯ll ask you again, what exactly do you want to see?¡± ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you clearly heard everything. Why are you still pretending?¡± Zheng Zeyu was not willing to continue pretending. Zheng Zeyi smiled and sat down beside his desk.¡±¡±Yeah! I heard everything you said to your mom. Not only did I hear it, I even recorded it. Do you want to hear it?¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression turned ugly, but he still forced a calm smile.¡±¡±So what if you heard it? So what if it was recorded? We did it. Zheng Zeyi, if you really had the ability to Sue us, shouldn¡¯t you have done it a long time ago? Why wait until now?¡± ¡°Zheng Zeyu, your words didn¡¯t disappoint me.¡± ¡°Brother, it¡¯s all in the past now. We still have to get along in the future. I think it¡¯s better to keep some things to ourselves. Why do you have to make it known to everyone? and I don¡¯t think you¡¯re that kind of person, right?¡± ¡°Won¡¯t you know if I¡¯m that kind of person after you try? Zheng Zeyu, don¡¯t think that you know me very well. Even if I don¡¯t tell anyone about this now, it doesn¡¯t mean that I won¡¯t in the future. I hope that you¡¯d better be prepared for what you and your mother have done in the past. Don¡¯t ask others for help when they find out one day. ¡± Zheng Zeyi turned on theputer and deleted a report from the file. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, you¡¯d better not let me find out anything that can be used against you. If this happens again, you have to believe that I won¡¯t let you off. I won¡¯t me you and won¡¯t say anything about what you and your daughter have done to me, but your target is sisi. If you dare to hurt her, I¡¯ll make you pay ten times the price.¡± Zheng Zeyu stared at Zheng Zeyi fiercely, but he was actually a little scared in his heart. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you¡¯ve always been better than me in everything since we were young. Everyone in the family likes you too. I don¡¯t understand why we¡¯re only different in terms of our mothers. Why do you have better resources than me? Why do you have the right to inherit the family? Even though your mother is dead, there¡¯s still no ce for my mother in this family. ¡± ¡°We both believe in Zheng, so why can¡¯t I have what you have?¡± Zheng Zeyi went over and grabbed his cor.¡±¡±Since you want to know the reason so much, I¡¯ll tell you. No matter how long it has been, your mother will always be ater. She¡¯s a person who destroys other people¡¯s families, and you¡¯re just that woman¡¯s child. As long as I don¡¯t acknowledge you as a member of our family, you¡¯re no longer my brother. Besides, I don¡¯tck a brother.¡± ¡°Zheng Zeyu, I hope you can remember this. No matter how long it takes, no matter what, if you want to fight with me, I¡¯ll give you a chance. You can¡¯t win against me. The reason why I¡¯m not taking the evidence to the police now is because I want to see you two jump around for two more days. Don¡¯t worry! As long as you guys perform well, there¡¯s no way this matter can be resolved in private. If you continue to act like this, don¡¯t me me. ¡± As soon as Zheng Zeyi finished speaking, Zheng Zeyu felt at a loss for words and left the office. Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Old master Zheng knows the truth

Trantor: 549690339

Although Zheng Zeyu appeared to be very calm in front of Zheng Zeyi, he had actually panicked the moment Zheng Zeyi entered the room. He only pretended to be calm because he did not want to show that he was flustered in front of Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi did not sound like he was bluffing. He might have really found the evidence, but Zheng Zeyu did not know what Zheng Zeyi was trying to do by not telling the truth. Seeing that Zheng Zeyu had left, the corners of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. The reason why he did not want to reveal the truth to others so early was because he wanted to catch a big fish. If it was only based on that recording, it might not be convincing, but this time, he would definitely make Zheng Zeyi suffer a big loss. After turning on theputer¡¯s built-in camera memory, Zheng Zeyu could basically see everything that was done on theputer clearly. He had indeed opened his own files and even entered a private folder in thepany. Zheng Zeyu, let¡¯s see what you can say this time.¡± Zheng Zeyi sneered as he transferred the surveince video to the USB drive and left the office. Once Zheng ze returned, he showed the results of the investigation to old master Zheng. Old master Zheng¡¯s face immediately turned green after seeing it. ¡°H-how dare he? I knew that Zheng Zeyu was up to no good. However, he¡¯s just the son of a songstress. How dare he covet the Zheng family¡¯s business? he¡¯s delusional.¡± Old master Zheng seemed to be quite angry, and he started coughing violently after he finished speaking. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t get too worked up. It¡¯s not toote to get angry after we call them over and ask them clearly.¡± Old man Zheng nodded and coughed.¡±¡±Butler, go and get Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu for me. I want them to appear in front of me within ten minutes.¡± When Ma Shan saw old master Zheng¡¯s usual arrogance, it was immediately extinguished. Not a single trace was left. ¡°Dad, what are you doing?¡± Father Zheng had alsoe over. When he saw Zheng Zeyi, he knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, I¡¯ll have to invite you for the rest.¡± Old master Zheng red at father Zheng. Although father Zheng didn¡¯t know what he was doing, he lowered his head guiltily. ¡°Where¡¯s Zheng Zeyu? Why isn¡¯t he here again? is he so busy every day? He¡¯s always gone when I¡¯m looking for him. ¡± Old master Zheng asked, trying his best to suppress his anger. ¡°Father, don¡¯t be angry. Zeyu is already on his way back. Please wait a little longer.¡± Ma Shan smiled awkwardly. Old master Zheng red at Ma Shan.¡±¡±Shut up.¡± ¡°Dad, what happened again? If you have something to say, you can say it to us first! If Zheng Zeyu did anything, we¡¯ll teach him a lesson when we get back. Zeyi, you talk to Grandpa. He¡¯s old, don¡¯t make him angry. ¡± Father Zheng looked at old master Zheng and said worriedly. ¡°I know how my body is. You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Zheng Zeyu is really driving me crazy. Let me tell you, if you don¡¯t give me an exnation within a week, I won¡¯t have a son like you.¡± Old master Zheng looked really angry this time. His face had turned green. ¡°Dad, this ...¡± Old master Zheng passed a USB to father Zheng.¡±¡±Take a good look at what your precious son and this woman beside you have done.¡± At this moment, Ma Shan¡¯s entire body was already tensed up. There was probably no other exnation for old master Zheng¡¯s sudden anger. Ma Shan went over and picked up the USB.¡±¡±Dad, don¡¯t be angry. Let¡¯s talk this out.¡± ¡°Aunt MA, are you feeling guilty?¡± Zheng Zeyi stared at Ma Shan and asked coldly. ¡°Zeyi, what are you saying? What am I guilty about?¡± Ma Shan was still holding the USB drive tightly in her hand as she spoke. Zheng Zeyi walked in front of Ma Shan and took the USB drive from her hand. He then inserted it into theputer beside him. ¡°Since you¡¯re not guilty, you must be very interested in the contents of this USB drive.¡± Zheng Zeyi sneered and clicked on the video. It showed the entire process of Zheng Zeyu sneakily turning on theputer and checking the information. After reading this, Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed, but she still pretended to be calm and smiled.¡±Zeyi, what¡¯s the meaning of showing me this?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I mean? Aunt MA, are you still not willing to tell the truth at this point?¡± Zheng Zeyi had wanted to give Ma Shan a chance to tell the truth, but she did not seem to want it, so he could not me her. ¡°What truth? Zeyi, I really don¡¯t understand what you mean. I heard Zeyu say that he wants to go to thepany to be your Secretary. There shouldn¡¯t be any problem for him to take a look at thepanyputers, right?¡± ¡°Ma Shan, you still refuse to admit what you and your dear son have done, right?¡± Old master Zheng mmed the table and stared at Ma Shan coldly. ¡°Dad, I really don¡¯t know what you mean. Zeyi, I know you don¡¯t like us, mother and daughter, but you don¡¯t have to go through so much trouble to try and kill us, do you?¡± Ma Shan turned to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Foolish.¡± Zheng Zeyi said as he yed another recording. Ma Shan immediately fell to the ground after hearing it. ¡°Dad, you, listen to my exnation. This recording is not real. This recording is not real.¡± Ma Shan crawled to old master Zheng¡¯s feet and tried to exin, but he kicked her away. ¡°Ma Shan, what exnation do you have for what you did with Zheng Zeyu? The evidence is right here. I already knew that you had ulterior motives when you entered the Zheng family. If it wasn¡¯t for that idiot who wanted you two to stay, do you think you two would still be in the Zheng family?¡± Ma Shan immediately turned to father Zheng.¡±¡±You don¡¯t believe me either? It really isn¡¯t like that. ¡± Father Zheng fell into silence. ¡°Dad, why don¡¯t we check again? it might not be like that.¡± Father Zheng was still kneeling in front of old master Zheng, trying to exin something. ¡°You ... You¡¯re trying to piss me off. Zeyi is the one you should trust. ¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at father Zheng coldly. ¡°Zeyi, are you sure what you¡¯ve found is true?¡± Father Zheng asked. ¡°I¡¯m sure,¡± Father Zheng looked at Ma Shan and said,¡±tell me the truth. Is this true?¡± The Zheng family that you¡¯ve always wanted! Sisi¡¯s injury was also caused by you? Zeyi¡¯s assassination was also done by someone hired by Zheng Zeyu, right?¡± Ma Shan just kept shaking her head. He couldn¡¯t deny it because it was the truth. ¡°Tell me, are you telling the truth? If you don¡¯t say anything, I can¡¯t protect you. ¡± Father Zheng¡¯s voice turned cold. Chapter 610

Ma Shan went over and hugged old master Zheng¡¯s leg.¡±¡±Dad, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all my fault. I was possessed and insatiable. I just couldn¡¯t ept it. Zeyu is my child. Of course, I can¡¯t bear to see him being inferior to others. Dad, can you understand how I feel as a mother?¡± Old master Zheng kicked Ma Shan away again. He stood up and pointed at Ma Shan with a trembling finger.¡±So, you admit it?¡± ¡°Father, believe me. Although we did do some bad things, I only did it so that Zeyu and I can be a little better in this family in the future. I have no other thoughts and I don¡¯t want to take anything from the Zheng family.¡± Ma Shan¡¯s exnation seemed like an excuse to old master Zheng. ¡°Stop it, Ma Shan. I don¡¯t want to hear any exnation from you now. I want to see Zheng Zeyu immediately. I hope that the two of you can give me a solution to this matter.¡± Old master Zheng tried his best to calm himself down as he looked at Ma Shan and father Zheng with an ugly expression. Zheng Zeyi poured him a ss of water.¡±Grandpa, don¡¯t be so excited.¡± ¡°Zeyi, help grandfather apologize to sisi. It¡¯s grandfather¡¯s fault. Grandfather didn¡¯t protect her well and let her suffer.¡± ¡°Grandpa, sisi won¡¯t me you. Besides, it¡¯s not your fault. Everything will be clearter.¡± Zheng Zeyi stared at Ma Shan and said coldly. Father Zheng also stood to the side with a cold expression when he saw Ma Shan¡¯s expression. He had initially wanted to help her because of Zheng Zeyu, but now it seemed like he was also the one who had been deceived. ¡°Dad, dad, it¡¯s true. Believe me, I really didn¡¯t want the Zheng family¡¯s Foundation. I just felt that I didn¡¯t have much of a presence since I came to this family. I just wanted to find some security for my future with Zeyu, really.¡± Ma Shan knelt in front of old master Zheng, but he did not even spare her a nce. ¡°Dad, if you want to me someone for this, me me! It really has nothing to do with Zeyu. He really doesn¡¯t know anything. Everything he did was instigated by me, his mother. It has nothing to do with him. ¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be in such a hurry to take all the responsibility. When Zheng Zeyu returns, there will be a time for you to confess.¡± Ma Shan wanted to bear everything on her own. Although she could receive the punishment she deserved, Zheng Zeyu would have a sufficient reason to escape. This was not the effect Zheng Zeyi wanted to see. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, Zeyu is your younger brother! Even if you don¡¯t like him, you can¡¯t want to kill him like this, right?¡± Ma Shan pointed at Zheng Zeyi and asked fiercely. ¡°Put him to death? Who wanted to kill who? When you sent people to kill sisi, did you ever think that she was also a life? when you did things to harm others for your own benefits, did you ever think that they were just living lives?¡± Zheng Zeyi walked to Ma Shan¡¯s side and asked coldly. His entire atmosphere turned cold, especially when he mentioned Joes. ¡°Zeyi, I really know that I was wrong now. If you¡¯re angry or unhappy, you can vent your anger on me. I beg you, please let Zeyu off! I really don¡¯t care how angry you are, I did all these things myself. It has nothing to do with him. Auntie, I beg you, please let him go!¡± ¡°Aunty, I want to let him go too, but when I think of sisi¡¯s pregnant face looking at me with blood on her face, I want to tear you into pieces. Sisi is pregnant with my child!¡± Zheng ze¡¯s body trembled when he said this. Even though Joes was fine now, Zheng ze still felt terrible when he thought of how he looked when he was covered in blood. ¡°Zeyi, can you forgive Auntie? Auntie really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I was also possessed at that time and didn¡¯t think it through. It was me, it was all my idea. I hurt her and it had nothing to do with my son. I know I¡¯ve done something wrong. I know that you can¡¯t forgive me for what I¡¯ve done. I¡¯m sorry, Zeyi. I¡¯m really sorry. ¡± Ma Shan seemed to be sincerely remorseful, but no matter what, Zheng Zeyi was determined not to forgive them this time. He had given them more than one chance, but he did not know how to cherish it. He crossed his bottom line again and again. ¡°Aunt MA, if you have the time to plead guilty here, why don¡¯t you think about how to get Zheng Zeyu back? if you don¡¯t get him back personally, I¡¯ll have to go and look for him.¡± ¡°Ma Shan, I¡¯ll give you another ten minutes. If Zheng Zeyu doesn¡¯t appear in front of me, don¡¯t me me for being impolite to the two of you. No one will be able to save you then.¡± Ma Shan naturally knew that old master Zheng was telling the truth. In the end, she thought about it and decided to call Zheng Zeyu. Father Zheng didn¡¯t like her to begin with, so if something were to happen to her, she would definitely not help her. Ma Shan was very clear about this. Ten minutester, Zheng Zeyu rushed in from outside. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± Zheng Zeyu knew that something must have happened when he saw the situation. ¡°Kneel down!¡± Father Zheng pointed to the side and said sternly. ¡°No, why? What had happened? Mom, why are you kneeling? Quickly get up. ¡± Zheng Zeyu wanted to pull Ma Shan up, but she was unwilling. ¡°Mom, what exactly happened? tell me.¡± ¡°Zeyu, we¡¯re finished. They all know.¡± Ma Shan grabbed Zheng Zeyu¡¯s hand and said in despair. ¡°Since everyone already knows, I won¡¯t hide it anymore. Mom, get up. This has nothing to do with you. It¡¯s all because of me. I did it, I did it. Whatever anger you have, you all took it out on me. I¡¯m tired of pretending for so long. It¡¯s good that you all know.¡± ¡°Zheng Zeyu, why did you do this?¡± old master Zheng looked at him coldly. ¡°Why? Grandpa, I¡¯ll call you Grandpa. Think about it, it¡¯s been so many years. How have you treated me? How did you treat my mother? Have you ever treated me as your own grandson? Why are we both surnamed Zheng? why am I treatedpletely differently from Zheng Zeyi? On what basis?¡± Zheng Zeyu asked with a crazy look on his face. Anyway, things had alreadye to this point, so he had nothing to be afraid of. Chapter 611

Zheng Zeyu, shut up.¡± Father Zheng said sternly. ¡°Why should I shut up? Dad, you¡¯re the same. I¡¯m probably nothing in your heart, right? No matter what I do, I¡¯m not as good as Zheng Zeyi. Do you think I don¡¯t know that? Isn¡¯t it because you look down on my mother in your heart? Since you can¡¯t let go of that B * tch, why did you marry my mother?¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s words sessfully made everyone¡¯s expression change. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, what nonsense are you spouting?¡± Father Zheng¡¯s expression turned ugly. This matter had always been a thorn in old master Zheng¡¯s heart, yet Zheng Zeyu still said that. Wasn¡¯t he ying with fire? ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense, dad. I¡¯ve always been unwilling to tell you because I wanted to save you some face. But since things havee to this, I think we don¡¯t have to waste any more time.¡± Old master Zheng trembled in anger at Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, you¡¯re really hopeless!¡± Old master Zheng was so angry that he picked up the walking stick beside him and hit Zheng Zeyu. Zheng Zeyu was even angrier.¡±You hit me? what right do you have to hit me?¡± What right do you have to hit me?¡± ¡°Why should I hit you? Just based on your ignorant appearance. ¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s face was green with anger. ¡°Zeyu, don¡¯t be like this, don¡¯t be like this. Kneel down.¡± Ma Shan pulled Zheng Zeyu, but Zheng Zeyu managed to break free. ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve been a coward your whole life, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? Did they treat you as the daughter-inw of the Zheng family? Even if we had a ce in this family, we wouldn¡¯t be like this. But the truth is, we don¡¯t have a ce in this family at all. ¡± Zheng Zeyu pulled Ma Shan up and pointed at old master Zheng, saying coldly,¡±¡±You¡¯re my grandfather, and I don¡¯t think I¡¯m sorry for what I did, but what about you? How did you treat me?¡± ¡°Do you think you¡¯re a human? No matter what he does, he¡¯s constantly suppressing me and my self-esteem. Just because I¡¯m the child of a songstress? And you, what right do you have? We¡¯re both surnamed Zheng, so why does everything in this family belong to you? On what basis?¡± Ma Shan tugged at Zheng Zeyu again.¡±Zeyu, shut up.¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t pull me.¡± Zheng Zeyu shook off Ma Shan¡¯s hand. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, shut up. Cough, cough.¡± Old man Zheng coughed violently and passed out. ¡°Grandfather, father, father.¡± Everyone was in a mess. Zheng Zeyi felt extremely guilty and immediately carried old master Zheng to the hospital. ¡°The two of you, take care.¡± Father Zheng pointed at Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu with a look of disappointment. ¡°Zeyu, you should leave.¡± Ma Shan said to Zheng Zeyu after they left. ¡°Me? Why should I leave? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. ¡± Zheng Zeyu blurted out. ¡°Zheng Zeyu, do you still not understand? The old master¡¯s health was not good to begin with. If something were to happen this time, would Zheng ze let you off? Even if the old manes out this time and they already know the truth, you will still be very sad. I will pack your things for you, you should leave here quickly!¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not leaving. What are you going to do if I leave? Besides, we still have other ways. If it really doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll burn our cauldrons and sink our boats. ¡± After so many failures, Ma Shan no longer had the energy to waste on him. ¡°Sigh, Zeyu, we should ept our fate. We¡¯ve done so much but we still can¡¯t move Zheng ze. It¡¯s useless no matter what we do. I¡¯ll go pack your things for you right now. Leave tonight and don¡¯te back. ¡± Ma Shan returned to her room after she finished speaking. Zheng Zeyu chased after her.¡±Mom, you can leave, but can youe with me?¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t leave. I chose to follow your father back then. Although arge part of it was because of money, it wasn¡¯t entirely because of money.¡± Ma Shan paused for a moment before continuing,¡±I do like him. No matter what, I won¡¯t leave him. You should leave.¡± Zheng Zeyu was still unwilling to give up.¡±Let¡¯s go to the hospital to check on the situation first. If it really can¡¯t be helped, I¡¯ll leave, okay?¡± Ma Shan saw that she couldn¡¯t change his mind, so she could only nod in agreement.¡±Alright then!¡± When Joes received the news, she immediately rushed to the hospital. She looked at the person sitting there and walked over. ¡°Zeyi, what happened? Grandfather was clearly in good health. Why was he suddenly hospitalized? Did something happen?¡± Zheng Zeyi hugged joesse, and she could feel his entire body trembling. ¡°It¡¯s fine! Grandpa¡¯s always so healthy, he¡¯ll definitely be fine. What¡¯s going on?¡± Joes patted his back. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. If I didn¡¯t tell Grandpa about this today, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. It¡¯s all my fault. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was full of self-me. Joes patted his shoulder and said,¡±ze Yi, what¡¯s going on?¡± What did you say to Grandpa? How did he faint from anger?¡± Zheng Zeyi told her what had happened at the Zheng family, and her expression turned grave. ¡°This Zheng Zeyu can actually say such heartless words. Does grandfather not treat him well?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let him off. Zheng Zeyu will definitely pay the price he deserves. I¡¯ll hand all this evidence to the police.¡± Zheng Zeyu and the rest heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words as soon as they arrived. ¡°Zeyu, you should leave quickly! You can¡¯t be caught. If you¡¯re caught, your life will be over. ¡± Zheng Zeyu felt a little scared when he heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, but he was still a little unwilling. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to leave. Maybe things will turn around?¡± ¡°What do you mean? You should leave quickly! As your mother, I¡¯m begging you. Before things get to that point, please leave! Alright?¡± ¡°Mom,e with me! Is that alright? I really don¡¯t want to leave by myself, and I can¡¯t leave you here alone!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t go with you, hurry up and leave! I¡¯ll go back and find your luggage. Hurry up and leave!¡± Ma Shan said as she pulled Zheng Zeyu back. ¡°Mom, I can¡¯t leave you alone. Let¡¯s go together! Alright?¡± Ma Shan shook her head. Then, her expression suddenly turned cold.¡±Zheng Zeyu, if you still treat me as your mother, you better leave quickly.¡± ¡°Go back quickly. I¡¯ve already bought you a ticket. You can leave directlyter.¡± Although Zheng Zeyu was still unwilling, he knew what was important and what was not. He agreed to leave and went to the airport under the moonlight. Chapter 612

Coincidentally, just as Zheng Zeyu left the Zheng family, at the entrance of the hospital¡¯s operating room, Zheng Zeyi saw the ¡°operation in progress¡± indicator light suddenly turn dark. Old master Zheng¡¯s emergency treatment had ended. Not long after, the operating room door that had been closed for a long time finally opened. ¡°Doctor, how is my grandfather now?¡± When he saw the doctoring out, Zheng Zeyi immediately rushed to the doctor and questioned him. ¡°Mr. Zheng, don¡¯t worry. The old man fainted because there was a phlegm stuck in his throat. Now, the phlegm has been sucked out and the old man is fine. He¡¯s already awake. ¡± The doctor met Zheng Zeyi¡¯s concerned eyes and answered honestly. ¡°Thank you, doctor. You¡¯ve all worked hard.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse also expressed their gratitude to the doctor. ¡°Youngdy, you¡¯re being too polite. Fortunately, you brought the old master here in time. If you had been a littleter, not to mention us, I¡¯m afraid that even Hua Tuo would not have been able to help. The old man will be out in a while. You guys wait here for a while. I have other patients to deal with, so I¡¯ll be leaving first. ¡± After that, the doctor gave a few more instructions and left. The doctor was right. Not long after he left, the nurse pushed the old man who was lying on the bed out of the emergency room. Looking at the old man¡¯s pale face, Zheng Zeyi and joesse¡¯s faces were more or less filled with heartache. ¡°Grandpa.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Grandpa. ¡± Because of the treatment, old man Zheng couldn¡¯t speak yet. The two of them followed the nurse until the old man was pushed into the ward and settled down. After a period of rest, the old man finally opened his mouth. ¡°Zeyi,e here.¡± The old man looked at Zheng Zeyi and waved his hand. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have told you this at this time and made you angry.¡± Zheng Zeyi came to the old man¡¯s side. Other than heartache, there was a hint of guilt on his face. ¡°Silly child, how can this be your fault? you did the right thing. All of this was what your brother said. This Zeyu, he¡¯s really, cough cough ... Really stubborn and ignorant! How old was he now! How dare you do this to sisi, your sister-inw? in a few years, how much worse will it be?¡± As the old man spoke, he waved in the direction of Joes and called her over. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s all in the past.¡± Joes also sat in front of the old man and consoled him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sisi, I¡¯ve made you suffer. This time, Zeyumitted a crime. Don¡¯t worry, even if he¡¯s my biological grandson, I won¡¯t let him off on purpose. I¡¯ll do what I have to do. By the way, where¡¯s that brat Zheng Zeyu?!¡± At this point, the old man suddenly realized that he had not seen Zheng Zeyu or Ma Shan since he came out of the emergency room. ¡°Ma Shan must¡¯ve let him escape. This woman is just so insensible! Zeyi, I¡¯m afraid Grandpa will need your help again. Help Grandpa find that B * stard Zheng Zeyu who doesn¡¯t know right from wrong! I¡¯ll leave it to you to deal with it however you want to!¡± The old man looked at his grandson and said directly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa. I won¡¯t let him escape this time!¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at the old man and nodded heavily. ¡°Zeyi, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll take care of grandfather.¡± Joes spoke at the right time. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. ¡± Even though there was Joes looking after her in the hospital, Joes¡¯s body was still rather special. Before he left, Zheng Zeyi specifically looked for the hospital¡¯s director and gave him a few simple instructions before leaving. On the way back to the old residence, Zheng ze gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove at top speed. It was supposed to take more than half an hour to get there, but he had shortened it to less than twenty minutes. Ma Shan did not know that Zheng Zeyi had arrived so quickly. Just as she was about to leave the old residence and visit the old master at the hospital, she bumped into Zheng Zeyi. ¡°You ... Why did youe back? Aren¡¯t you in the hospital taking care of the old man?¡± When she saw Zheng Zeyi suddenly appear in front of her, the already flustered Ma Shan became even more flustered. Where¡¯s Zheng Zeyu?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not have the time to waste on Ma Shan. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Ma Shan immediately replied, as if she would rather die than say a word. ¡°Very good. Do you think I wouldn¡¯t know if you didn¡¯t tell me? Ma Shan, let me tell you, I¡¯ll find Zheng Zeyu even if I have to dig three feet into the ground! The two of you, go and call all the servants in the house out. Whoever can tell us about Zheng Zeyu¡¯s movements will get a bonus of 100 thousand Yuan!¡± A hundred thousand! The servants were in an uproar when they heard that. Someone immediately announced Zheng Zeyu¡¯s whereabouts loudly. ording to the information he had received from the servants, Zheng Zeyi did not dare to dy any further. He immediately led his men to search in the direction that Zheng Zeyu had left. Ma Shan wanted to stop him, but looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s stance, she knew that he was not someone she could stop. Helplessly, she could only pray to God and let God bless her son so that he could escape. However, Ma Shan did not know that even if there was a God, he would not bless such an evil person like Zheng Zeyu. At the airport. ¡°Hello, this is my ticket. When does the ne take off? I want to board the ne, I want to board the ne now!¡± Zheng Zeyu immediately went to the ticket inspection gate with the ticket in his hand and shouted at the ticket inspection staff. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sir. The boarding time for this ticket is one and a half hourster. It¡¯s not time to check the ticket yet. Please wait there for a moment. ¡± The ticketing staff exined to Zheng Zeyu in a good-tempered manner. However, an hour and a half was too long for Zheng Zeyu. ¡°I don¡¯t care, no matter which flight it is, as long as I can board the ne immediately, I don¡¯t care how much it costs. I have money, I¡¯ll give you money! An hour and a half is too long, I can¡¯t wait!¡± For some reason, Zheng Zeyu felt a strong sense of danger. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sir. I don¡¯t sell tickets here. If you continue to hinder other passengers from boarding, I¡¯ll have to call security. ¡± The airport was not a ce where Zheng Zeyu could have fun. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble the security, I¡¯ll do it. ¡± As soon as the ticket inspector finished speaking, a cold and familiar voice reached Zheng Zeyu¡¯s ears. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s first thought upon hearing this voice was to run. However, now that he had fallen under Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Five Finger Mountain, it was not so easy to escape. ¡°Capture him!¡± Zheng ze waved his hand and Zheng Zeyu immediately lost his freedom. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, where are you taking me? let me go, let me go!¡± ¡°The police station. That, the ce where you should be.¡± ¡°No, I don ¡®t. I¡¯m not going anywhere, let me go, mom, mom, save me, save me!¡± Looking at Ma Shan, who was rushing over, Zheng Zeyu called for help. Unfortunately, it was toote. Before Ma Shan could reach him, he had already been taken into the police car. Chapter 613

¡°Zheng Zeyi, you bastard. I¡¯m telling you, you¡¯d better let my son go. Otherwise, I, Ma Shan, will not let you off even if I be a ghost!¡± Ma Shanpletely lost her mind when she saw her son being shoved into the police car. She looked at Zheng ze and continued to curse. Hearing the noiseing from Ma Shan¡¯s mouth, Zheng Zeyi frowned and looked at her coldly.¡±As her mother, you should know better than me what your own son has done.¡± ¡°Also, it¡¯s the police who took your son away, not me. It¡¯s no longer up to me to decide whether to let him go or not. If you have the ability, you can ask the judge directly.¡± Zheng Zeyi was in a good mood as he looked at Ma Shan. He then turned around and left after finishing his sentence. ¡°Zheng Zeyi,e back! Don¡¯t go! You and Joes are a disaster! No matter who it is, as long as they encounter you two, they will be unlucky!¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, my son will be fine. My son is the only heir of the Zheng family! I ...¡± ¡°Enough! Don¡¯t say anymore! Do you think that it¡¯s not hard enough?¡± Looking at his wife making a scene at the airport, father Zheng, who hade with them, finally couldn¡¯t help but speak. Ma Shan was stunned when she saw father Zheng yelling at her. After a full minute, Ma Shan finally reacted. She looked at father Zheng with a look of resentment. ¡°What did you just say? You think I¡¯m embarrassing, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Zheng, let me ask you, what right do you have to despise me? Do you think I want to do this? Let me ask you, as a father, what have you done for Zeyu? Have you ever looked him in the eye? Did you have a good chat with him and ask him what he wants? You don¡¯t have it, you don¡¯t have anything! You¡¯ve given him nothing but this life!¡± ¡°Now that he¡¯s been arrested by the police, you¡¯re still here doing nothing? I was really blind to have followed you, Zheng!¡± Ma Shan looked at father Zheng and vented all the dissatisfaction in her heart. After she finished speaking, she imitated Zheng Zeyi and turned to leave. Even if everyone did not like her son, she was still the son that she cherished. Perhaps Ma Shan¡¯s words had woken father Zheng up, but the moment Ma Shan turned around, he suddenly lifted his leg and followed her to the prison. Half an hourter. The sound of an engine being turned off could be heard. Ma Shan and father Zheng¡¯s car stopped at the entrance of the prison. ¡°What are you two doing here? It¡¯s already past visiting hours, so you should go back now. ¡± As soon as Ma Shan and father Zheng got out of the car, they were chased away by the staff. However, Ma Shan had gone through so much trouble to get here, so how could she just leave like that? Ma Shan rolled her eyes and took off the bracelet on her wrist. She secretly stuffed it into the man¡¯s hand.¡±Big brother, please make an exception. My son was wronged.¡± When the police took him away, I didn¡¯t even have the chance to talk to him. Just let me see him!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, just ten minutes. I can¡¯t go any longer!¡± Indeed, money talks. Not long after, Ma Shan saw Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Zeyu, my son! It was all her mother¡¯s fault. I¡¯ve made you suffer. Don¡¯t worry, mom will definitely, definitely think of a way to get you out. I¡¯m even willing to lock myself up in there for you!¡± As soon as she saw Zheng Zeyu, Ma Shan¡¯s tears fell like a flood that had just burst out of a dam. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face turned ugly as he looked at his mother who spoke without thinking. ¡°Mom, look at where this is and pay attention to what you say! Remember this, I¡¯ve been wronged! I¡¯m innocent!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although I¡¯ve been returned, I¡¯m not a real criminal yet. There¡¯s still room for change. ¡± Looking at the crying Ma Shan, Zheng Zeyu finally couldn¡¯t help butfort her. After her son¡¯s reminder, Ma Shan¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yeah! How could I have forgotten that Zheng Zeyi had always been the evidence? I didn¡¯t see him produce any substantial evidence!¡± ¡°Son, don¡¯t worry. Mom will definitely find you the bestwyer to help you win this case! This time, even if I have to give up my life, I will definitely let youe out safely!¡± Ma Shan looked at Zheng Zeyu and promised him again and again. Ten minutes passed by very quickly. Ma Shan felt that it had not been long before the police officer who let her in had asked her to leave. ¡°Son, wait for me!¡± The moment she stepped out of the prison gate, Ma Shan¡¯s heart was filled with reluctance. At this moment, the more she could not bear to part with Zheng Zeyu, the more she hated Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si. If it weren¡¯t for these two people, how could her son have ended up like this? Zheng Zeyi, who had left the airport first, returned to the hospital and went to old master Zheng¡¯s bed. He told him everything that had happened after he had left. It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that there was no trace of Jossi in the huge Ward. ¡°Grandpa, where¡¯s sisi? Didn¡¯t he say he was going to stay here and take care of you?¡± Looking at his grandfather, Zheng Zeyi asked the question in his heart. As soon as he said this, the old man couldn¡¯t help rolling his eyes at him.¡±You child, you haven¡¯t even married her yet and you¡¯re asking a girl to take care of me. Even if you¡¯re embarrassed, I¡¯m embarrassed! Besides, sisi is pregnant. I asked the driver to send her back not long after you left. ¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s my fault for not being thoughtful, Grandpa.¡± Zheng Zeyi immediately admitted his mistake after listening to the old man¡¯s teachings. ¡°You child, it¡¯s good that you know you¡¯re in the wrong. Alright, it¡¯ste. You should hurry back.¡± No matter what, Zheng Zeyi was the old master¡¯s most beloved grandson. He could not bear to really teach him a lesson. ¡°Have a good rest, grandfather. I¡¯lle back to see you.¡± Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t continue to stay there after the old master had driven him away. He turned around and left after he finished speaking. Zheng ze rushed home as soon as he left the hospital. Just as he had expected, the moment he reached home and pushed open the door, he saw Jossi sitting on the sofa in the living room. At that moment, a warm-colored light shone on joesse¡¯s body, enveloping her in ayer of warm light and making her look even more beautiful. Zheng ze walked up to the sofa and hugged her tightly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I feel like you¡¯re in a good mood. ¡± Joes opened her mouth and let Zheng ze hug her. ¡°I¡¯ve caught Zheng Zeyu and sent him to prison. I believe that I¡¯ll find evidence to prove that Ma Shan was the murderer who killed my mother back then!¡± Chapter 614

Ma Shan had spent money to hire awyer who said that he could defend Zheng Zeyu 100%. She exined Zheng Zeyu¡¯s situation to him. Thewyer had thought that he could make a lot of money this time, but now he realized that the case was not that simple. If he were to take on the case, not only would he not make any money, but he would also lose his life. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! Madam, we really can¡¯t take this case. Why don¡¯t you find someone else? Please forgive me for being unable to help. ¡± Thewyer awkwardly pushed the money back to Ma Shan. Although it was a lot of money, he couldn¡¯t lose his life because of it! After all, although money was important, this case couldn¡¯t be solved so easily. If it couldn¡¯t be solved immediately, he might even lose his life. ¡°Lawyer, you have to think of a way. Do you think that you don¡¯t have enough money? ¡°If you think the money isn¡¯t enough, I can give you more money as long as you promise me. Really, help me think of another way. He¡¯s my son, I can¡¯t let anything happen to him. Lawyer, I¡¯m begging you. You¡¯ve been to so manywsuits and you¡¯ve won all of them. This one won¡¯t be a problem.¡± Ma Shan immediately grabbed thewyer¡¯s hand and looked at him with a pleading expression. However, thewyer still looked extremely determined. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! Madam, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you, but I really can¡¯t do anything! This case is too difficult to fight, mainly because we¡¯repletely in the wrong! Why don¡¯t you find someone else to try? Although I¡¯ve never lost awsuit before, it¡¯s not like this! Please let me go! I really can¡¯t do it. ¡± Other than begging thewyer in front of her, Ma Shan had no other way to help Zheng Zeyu. ¡°Lawyer, I¡¯m really begging you, please help me think of a way! As long as you can help me resolve this matter, I will agree to whatever you ask. Lawyer, I¡¯m really begging you. ¡± Thewyer couldn¡¯t bear to see Ma Shan in this state.¡±¡±How about this! Tell me everything from the beginning to the end again. Don¡¯t let go of any details. I¡¯ll see if I can find a breakthrough. ¡± Seeing that thewyer had relented, Ma Shan repeated the matter to him. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you a few questions, you have to answer me truthfully. ¡± Thewyer said very seriously. ¡°Alright,¡± Ma Shan nodded immediately.¡±Go ahead and ask. I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡± ¡°Furen, your noble young master really did something that hurt others, right? And you did send someone to the hospital, right?¡± Ma Shan didn¡¯t want to admit it, but she still nodded. ¡°And what he did was discovered by others, and now there¡¯s solid evidence? This evidence was enough to destroy him? He was also discovered by others when he tried to escape. ¡± Ma Shan did not say anything. Instead, she looked at thewyer and asked seriously,¡±¡±Is there still a chance to turn things around?¡± Thewyer sighed.¡±Madam, I really want to help you, but the things that your son has done have made it impossible for me to defend him. Now that the evidence has been proven, I really can¡¯t help him. I¡¯m really sorry. If I take on your defense this time, I¡¯ll be condoning the crime.¡± ¡°Lawyer, you have to think of something!¡± Ma Shan was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, but thewyer really had no choice this time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m really sorry. ¡± Thewyer left immediately. He was afraid that Ma Shan would not let him go if he continued to cause trouble. Seeing that thewyer had left, Ma Shan¡¯s spirit suddenly broke down. She sat on the ground and started crying. After crying for a long time, she dusted off her butt and stood up. She couldn¡¯t give up just like that. If she gave up, Zheng Zeyu might really be finished. ¡°No, I can¡¯t give up like this. I have to go back.¡± Ma Shan went to the hospital and found old master Zheng¡¯s ward. She stood at the door of the ward and hesitated for a while before pushing the door open and walking in. Old master Zheng¡¯s expression immediately turned ugly when he saw her. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Dad, I¡¯m here to see you,¡± Ma Shan¡¯s face had turned extremely pale. Compared to her previous rosy and lustrous face, she looked as if she was seriously ill. ¡°Me? To see if I¡¯ll die in your hands? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to disappoint you. This old man has a tough life, so I won¡¯t die for the time being. ¡± Old master Zheng asked sarcastically. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s not like that. I know that what I¡¯ve done in the past has disappointed you, and I also know that I¡¯m not worthy of your forgiveness this time. But Zeyu is still so young. Dad, no matter how much of a bastard he is, he¡¯s still your grandson. If he stays in there for his entire life, he¡¯ll be ruined!¡± Ma Shan knelt in front of old master Zheng, hoping that he would relent. ¡°Destroyed? You still know that doing this will ruin his life? Why didn¡¯t you consider this much when you were doing those things? Why aren¡¯t you afraid of ruining other people¡¯s lives?¡± Old master Zheng asked angrily. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s all my fault. As his mother, I didn¡¯t guide him on his path. If you want to me someone, me me! Dad, this matter really has nothing to do with Zeyu. Please let him out! I promise. As long as you¡¯re willing to let him off this time, I¡¯ll take him away from here forever and nevere back. ¡± Ma Shan raised her hands above her head and swore. However, old master Zheng was also very determined to forgive her this time. ¡°Ma Shan, you should go back! I don¡¯t want anyone to mention this matter. Zheng Zeyu should have expected such an oue when he did this. ¡± This time, old master Zheng was determined not to give in. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m begging you, please give him another chance! Why don¡¯t I switch with him? Just arrest me! Please let me go to the police station! Really, Zeyu is innocent. This matter has nothing to do with him. It¡¯s my fault, it¡¯s my fault. Dad, I¡¯m sorry. Let him go, let him go, will you?¡± Ma Shan kept on kowtowing beside old master Zheng¡¯s bed. Old master Zheng furrowed his brows unhappily. ¡°Aunt MA, why are you here?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice came from the door. ¡°Zeyi, I¡¯m begging you, please help me beg your grandfather. I¡¯m begging you too. Give your brother a way out! He really knew that he was in the wrong. He couldn¡¯t stay in there forever! Please, I beg you, let him go!¡± Ma Shan went over and hugged Zheng Zeyi¡¯s leg. Zheng Zeyi snorted coldly.¡±There¡¯s no room for discussion on this matter. You should be punished for your mistakes. I don¡¯t think we did anything wrong. You can go back!¡± Grandpa still needs to rest. You¡¯re too noisy here. ¡± Chapter 615

After Ma Shan left, the ward returned to its original silence. ¡°Grandpa, this is the Apple I just peeled. This is a toothpick.¡± ¡°Grandpa, this is freshly-made fruit juice. Remember to drink it.¡± ¡°Grandpa, what do you want to eat for lunch? tell me and I¡¯ll arrange it.¡± Silence returned to the ward, and Joes¡¯s voice of concern became even more obvious. ¡°Sisi, I really can¡¯t eat anymore. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to walk out of this Ward if you continue to eat like this.¡± Old master Zheng looked at Jossi and suddenly sighed heavily. After he finished speaking, the old man¡¯s face darkened and he looked worried. As soon as the old man said this, Qiao si si and Zheng ze were both stunned, and their expressions turned grave. Joesse, in particr, thought that she had done something wrong and her nerves tensed up. ¡°Grandpa, what¡¯s wrong with you? Are you feeling ufortable somewhere? why are you saying such disheartening words? my child with Zeyi has not been born yet. You will definitely live to a hundred years old. When that timees, Zeyi and I will still need you to name our child!¡± Joes came to the old man and quickly said. Looking at Qiao si SI¡¯s nervous expression, the old man could no longer hold back the smile on his face.¡±Si si, Grandpa knows that you¡¯re a good child. You¡¯ve been taking care of Grandpa in every possible way these few days. But have you ever thought about what you¡¯re going to do if you take care of me so carefully, giving me fruit juice and nutritious soup? Grandpa is afraid that I¡¯ll be a fat old man before I get discharged from the hospital. What would I do then?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± The moment the old man finished speaking, joesse could not help butugh out loud,¡±Grandpa, so that¡¯s what you¡¯re worried about. You really scared me to death just now. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just following the doctor¡¯s orders. You¡¯re old now and need a bnced diet. That¡¯s why you need to eat a little of all the fruits and vegetables.¡± ¡°Zeyi, did you hear what sisi just said?¡± He did not know what was wrong with the old man today. He had just joked with Joes, but he had turned around and given the right to test his grandson. ¡°I heard it.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not know what the old man was up to, so he could only answer his question honestly. Upon hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s response, the old man waved at his grandson, signaling Zheng Zeyi toe to his side. Zheng Zeyi did as he was told. At that moment, neither Zheng Zeyi nor Qiao sisi noticed. The two of them were now sitting on either side of the old man, surrounding him. The old man looked to his left and then to his right. He held both of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s and Qiao sisi¡¯s hands respectively and then put them together. The moment Zheng Zeyi and Qiao SI¡¯s fingers intertwined, Qiao si seemed to understand the old man¡¯s intention. As expected, she had guessed correctly. ¡°Zeyi, sisi, Grandpa is getting on in years. For people my age, every passing day means one less day. My biggest wish in this life is to see the two of you get married quickly.¡± Urging her to get married, this sentence had been in her heart for a long time. The old man did not know that it was not that Zheng ze did not take the initiative to get married, but that Qiao sisi was still hesitating. The moment the old man said those words, Joes subconsciously retracted her hand. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grip was tighter and joesse¡¯s movements were smaller, so the old man did not notice it. ¡°Grandpa, I ...¡± ¡°It¡¯s because of me, Grandpa. I feel that everything has not settled down yet, so it¡¯s not suitable for us to get married. Don¡¯t worry, when everything is settled, I¡¯ll give sisi an unforgettable wedding. ¡± Just as joesse was about to exin, Zheng Zeyi interrupted her. After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao SI¡¯s heart was filled with warmth. ¡°You brat, you only know how to push back. Let me tell you, if you dare to let sisi down in the future, I will definitely teach you a good lesson on sisi¡¯s behalf!¡± The old man looked at his grandson in front of him and scolded him. Then, the old man¡¯s mouth was unforgiving, but his eyes were full of love for Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi. ¡°Grandfather, don¡¯t me Zeyi. I believe that he won¡¯t let me down.¡± Qiao si SI¡¯s heart ached for Zheng Zeyi and quickly defended him. Seeing this, the old man was even happier.¡±Sisi, you can¡¯t spoil this man. You can¡¯t treat this brat too well in the future. Be careful that he doesn¡¯t want to take advantage of you.¡± Sigh, it seems that I¡¯m really not likable. I wanted to help my granddaughter-inw teach her grandson a lesson, but in the end, I was taught a lesson by my granddaughter-inw. ¡± ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re making fun of me again.¡± Jossi¡¯s face turned red when she heard the teasing tone in the old man¡¯s voice. In an instant, the entire Ward was filled with happy smiles. It was gettingte, so the two of them stayed in the ward with the old man for a while. After the old man repeatedly asked them to leave, the two of them finally left the ward. ¡°Zeyi, thank you for what you did just now.¡± As soon as she walked out of the ward, Qiao sisi looked at Zheng Zeyi and said,¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for us to be separated. In my heart, regardless of whether that piece of paper exists or not, you¡¯re the woman I¡¯ll protect for the rest of my life. I don¡¯t want to give you any pressure. Just follow your heart. Let me know when you want to get married. I¡¯ll be ready. ¡± Zheng Zeyi held the woman beside him tightly in his arms and promised. Upon hearing this, the smile on Joes¡¯s face grew even wider. At this moment, Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi, who were snuggling up to each other as they left the hospital, did not expect that Ma Shan, who had been chased away by Zheng Zeyi, had not left. She had been hiding outside the ward and eavesdropping on the conversation between the three of them. For Ma Shan, who had just lost her son, theughter that came from the ward was particrly ear-piercing, and it made her feel bad. A wave of jealousy emerged from nowhere and quickly took root in her heart. This hatred and jealousy twisted her mentality. Looking at the tightly shut door, Ma Shan took a deep breath. As if she had made up her mind, she took two steps forward to close the distance between her and the door. After hesitating for a while, Ma Shan raised her hand and knocked on the door. Knock, knock, knock~ A series of knocks on the door made the old man, who had wanted to lie down and rest for a while, suddenly wake up. ¡°Who is it?e in.¡± The old man supported himself with both hands on the bed and sat up. As he spoke, the old man turned to look at the door with a hint of doubt in his eyes. The moment the door was pushed open, the old man frowned and asked,¡±Ma Shan, why are you here?¡± Chapter 616

The sunlight outside the window was just right, shining through the White curtains into the ward. The old master¡¯s weather-beaten smile carried the dignity of a superior as he looked at Ma Shan with a sharp gaze. It was obvious that the old man was in a good mood and did not want Ma Shan¡¯s presence to affect his mood. Ma Shan looked at the old man and recalled their happy conversation in the ward. She felt extremely indignant now. Her son was also the old master¡¯s biological grandson, but the old master didn¡¯t smile at him like that. It was just like how a subordinate would treat a subordinate and not him like that. Hatred shed across MA Shanguo¡¯s eyes, but the fire of jealousy in his heart surged. An idea formed in his mind, and it became extremely firm. She chuckled with a hint of mockery and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s right. I shouldn¡¯t have appeared here. I¡¯ve disturbed your happy family and your good mood, right?¡± Ma Shan said as she walked closer to the table. Previously, Ma Shan had seen a fruit knife on the table from the corner of her eye. It had just been peeled and had not been put away. Knowing what she was thinking, she slowly moved over step by step. She had her signature smile on her mouth, but her heart was mean and full of provocation. However, in a blind corner where the old man couldn¡¯t see, he quietly took the fruit knife in his hand. Ma Shan held the knife tightly in her hand. The cold touch of the knife made her unstable emotions slowly calm down. The thought in her heart became more and more intense. ¡­¡­ The two of them walked side by side. The weather was a little hot and stuffy, and both of them were sweating. The two of them got into the car when they arrived at the underground parking lot. Joes sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. Out of habit, she reached into her bag for her phone, only to find nothing. She turned back to look at Zheng Zeyi and said to him in embarrassment,¡±¡±Zeyi, I think I left my phone in the ward just now. I¡¯ll go back and get it. Wait for me here.¡± As she said that, joesse wanted to open the car door and get out. Zheng Zeyi chuckled as he pulled on joesse¡¯s hand.¡±¡±It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll go get it for you. I¡¯ll walk faster, you can sit here for a while, I¡¯ll be back soon. ¡± As he spoke, he quickly walked out. Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back view as he left in a hurry, Joes shook her head and smiled helplessly. In the ward. The old man was furious after hearing Ma Shan¡¯s sarcastic words. The afternoon sun shone on his face, making it a little hot, but it also made his mood worse. He did not have the mood or patience to listen to Ma Shan¡¯s sarcastic words. At the thought of this, the old man shouted loudly and said to Ma Shan,¡±¡±Get out of here immediately.¡± At this moment, Ma Shan raised the knife with all her might and pointed it at the old man. The old man was stunned for a moment before his pupils contracted and his heart started to beat faster. The moment Ma Shan raised the fruit knife, a figure rushed in from behind and pinned her to the ground. He then threw the knife in his hand away. Zheng ze pressed Ma Shan to the ground and stopped her from moving. The old man ced his hands by his side and finally loosened his grip a little. He steadied his breathing and looked at Ma Shan, who was pressed to the ground, with a dark expression. Zheng ze¡¯s back broke out in a cold sweat when he recalled the scene he had just seen at the door. Ma Shan raised her fruit knife and rushed toward the old man ... Zheng Zeyi did not dare to imagine what would have happened if he had not returned to pick up Joes¡¯s phone, leaving the old man alone with Ma Shan. Just the thought of it sent chills down his spine. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi looked gloomily at Ma Shan, who was pinned to the ground by him and had an ashen expression. ¡°Good, good, good. You¡¯re all good people. Now you want to take my life, right? I¡¯m an eyesore, right? You¡¯ve really grown up. ¡± Suddenly, the old manughed coldly. His tone was cold and sinister. The old man¡¯s face was shriveled and full of curses. Now, his face was as dark as water, and he looked extremely terrifying. Ma Shan, who had been pinned to the ground by Zheng ze, could not help but break out in a cold sweat when she heard the old man¡¯s words. Suddenly, he regretted his decision and what he had done. He had forgotten who the person in front of him was. He was the one who became the head of thepany before the age of 30. He could do anything with a flip of his hand. How much wealth had he created? once he decided toy his hands on someone, what would happen to that person? thinking about this, Ma Shan couldn¡¯t help but feel a wave of regret. If she had seeded, it would be fine, but the key was that she didn¡¯t ... She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. However, Ma Shan now knew that she regretted what she had done. There was nothing she could do. Instead of regretting it, it was better to think about the consequences and how to solve it. When Joes arrived at the door of the ward, she saw this scene. She was at a loss, not knowing what had happened. Zheng Zeyi had onlye back to get his phone. How did he end up like this? The ward was in a mess. Ma Shan was pinned to the ground by Zheng Zeyi like a dead fish. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was gloomy and ugly. The old man¡¯s face was also very ugly. He did not say anything, and the atmosphere in the ward seemed to have frozen, making it difficult for people to breathe. No one spoke, and everyone in the room wished they could even breathe softly. Suddenly, Joes saw the fruit knife at the side. She seemed to have thought of something and her eyes widened. They looked at this scene in disbelief. He couldn¡¯t believe what he saw, he couldn¡¯t believe what he thought, and he couldn¡¯t be sure what he thought had happened. When he heard themotion, Zheng ze turned around and saw Jossi standing at the door of his Ward in a daze. He looked at the situation in the ward in disbelief. He found it funny. His face, which had been as calm as still water, could not help but soften a little. He said to Joes,¡±¡±Sisi, call Mr. Zheng to take his daughter away.¡± At this moment, the security guards in the hospital came up to help hold Ma Shan down, and Zheng Zeyi was able to let go. Qiao si looked at Zheng Zeyi with a questioning gaze, and Zheng Zeyi nodded at her. Joes pursed her lips and did not say anything. Qiao si si nodded at Zheng ze and looked at Ma Shan with aplicated expression. Ma Shan felt Qiao SI¡¯s gaze and felt ufortable. She turned around and went to the table to get her phone to call father Zheng. Chapter 617

Zheng lihan was shocked when he received Qiao SI¡¯s call. He was on tenterhooks when he heard that the old man was beside him. He thought to himself,¡¯Ma Shan has created such a huge mess, I might not be able to protect her anymore. But she has been by my side for so many years. If I don¡¯t protect her, what can she do?¡¯ Zheng lihan quickly drove to the old man¡¯s ward. He did not say anything when he reached the ward and directly went up to give Ma Shan a p because he knew that he could not ask for the old man¡¯s understanding if he did not do so. Ma Shan¡¯s face was filled with disbelief after being pped. How could the person who usually doted on her the most hit her over such a small matter? Ma Shan wanted to say something, but before she could, Zheng lihan quickly pulled her behind him. He immediately apologized to the old man with a sincere attitude, saying,¡±¡±Dad, it¡¯s my fault this time. I didn¡¯t take good care of her and caused her to do such an irrational thing. However, she wasn¡¯t usually like this. She must have her reasons for doing so. We¡¯re family after all, you can¡¯t punish her for this. After all, nothing has happened yet. ¡± Before the old man could say anything, Zheng Zeyi could not help but say,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. Do you really think that she would still be here if something really happened? I think you¡¯ve gone senile. You don¡¯t care about grandpa¡¯s safety for such a person. ¡± Father Zheng said in an angry tone,¡±¡±She¡¯s your mother after all, and she¡¯s been by my side for so many years. Do you want me to send her to the police station?¡± Zheng ze was even angrier when he heard this.¡±¡±Mother, she¡¯s not my mother. My mother was forced away by you long ago. She¡¯s just a mistress. Have you forgotten what you did back then?¡± Zheng lihan was choked by these words and stammered, unable to speak. When Zheng ze saw Zheng lihan¡¯s expression, he thought,¡±Don¡¯t tell me you feel guilty too? I¡¯ve always remembered how you forced my mother back then. I will never forgive you. Zheng Zeyi red at father Zheng and said,¡±¡±How about this? I won¡¯t ask you to do anything else. Just send Ma Shan out of the Zheng familypound and never let here back.¡± When they heard that Ma Shan was about to be kicked out of the Zheng familypound, both of them were shocked. Ma Shan¡¯s heart was filled with worry. If I¡¯m sent out of the Zheng familypound ... No, I can¡¯t be sent out. I must stay. She quickly gave father Zheng a look and looked at him with tears on her face, hoping that father Zheng could help her stay. Father Zheng couldn¡¯t bear to see Ma Shan¡¯s face. He had always been tolerant of her, so he said with a tough attitude,¡±¡±Send her out. No, I will never agree to it.¡± Zheng Zeyi snorted coldly.¡±You don¡¯t agree? you¡¯re not in a position to make the decisions here. Have you forgotten who the current leader is?¡± The old man did not want to see Zheng lihan at all, so he said to him,¡±Alright, there¡¯s no need for further discussion. I¡¯ll make the decision and send her out of the Zheng familypound tomorrow.¡± Zheng lihan knew that he could not change his decision after hearing the old man¡¯s words. ¡°You don¡¯t have to stay here,¡± the old man continued.¡±Take her back and clean her up. Quickly send her out.¡± Zheng lihan had no choice but to leave the ward with Ma Shan. Zheng lihan brought Ma Shan out of the hospital. On the way, Ma Shan kept sobbing softly. Zheng lihan could not help but feel annoyed.¡±Alright, stop crying now. Don¡¯t cry all the way here. We¡¯ll talk about it when we get back.¡± When Ma Shan heard Zheng lihan¡¯s angry words, she knew that father Zheng was in a fit of anger and did not dare to cry anymore. The car was very quiet on the way back. The two of them returned to the Zheng familypound. When Ma Shan saw that Zheng lihan¡¯s expression had calmed down a little, she once again pleaded with him not to send her out of the Zheng familypound. She knew that Zheng lihan loved her tear-stained face the most, so she used this expression to beg him.¡±¡±Lihan, I know I made a mistake this time. I won¡¯t do such a thing again. Please go down and beg the old man to let me stay. After all, we¡¯ve been husband and wife for so many years. What should I do if I leave the Zheng familypound?¡± When Zheng lihan saw Ma Shan¡¯s expression and thought of the time they had spent together, his heart softened. Ma Shan looked at Zheng lihan¡¯s expression and knew that his heart must have softened, so she once again said some pleading words. Although Zheng lihan wanted Ma Shan to stay, he was not in charge of the Zheng familypound. He could only try his best. In addition, when he thought of what had happened today, he could not help but feel a little angry. He scolded Ma Shan. ¡°I think you¡¯re really muddleheaded for doing this. If something really happens to the old master, do you think you can bear the responsibility? Have you considered the consequences? not to mention that the old master doesn¡¯t like you, what you did today gave Zheng Zeyi something to use against you. ¡± Ma Shan continued to humble herself and said,¡±¡±Yes, I know I was wrong. I was really carried away by my own thoughts this time. I will definitely serve the old man seriously in the future.¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s attitude towards Ma Shan had also calmed down. He knew that Ma Shan had always been a gentle person. This time, there must have been a misunderstanding that caused this to happen. Although Ma Shan had a repentant expression on her face, she hated the old master and Zheng Zeyi to the core. She pursed her lips. If she moved out of the Zheng family¡¯spound this time, it would mean that she would not get a single cent. The Zheng family¡¯s assets would have nothing to do with her anymore. Zheng lihan was a man without much talent. Without the Zheng family, he would not be able to give her anything. Then what was the use of all her hard work over the years? she had put in so much effort, but she had gotten nothing. For the sake of her future, she must not move out of the Zheng familypound. Therefore, the most important thing for Ma Shan to do now was to stabilize Zheng lihan. She knew that she could not say much, but Zheng lihan was the old man¡¯s son, after all. He would definitely be able to convince the old man, so she had been begging Zheng lihan, hoping that he could help her. Back then, she was able to charm Zheng lihan and force the first wife to leave because she knew how to use her own advantages. It was the same this time. As expected, Zheng lihan agreed. He still cared about Ma Shan, so he was willing to continue talking to the old man. He pulled Ma Shan into his arms and said,¡±¡±You can stay here for the time being. I will continue to persuade the old master. You don¡¯t have to worry so much. Alright, don¡¯t cry anymore, my heart is aching. ¡± When Ma Shan heard Zheng lihan¡¯s words, she felt a littleforted. She was temporarily at ease. Chapter 618

A few dayster, the old man was going to be discharged. Zheng ze drove joesse to the hospital to pick up the old master. When the old man saw the two of them, he was very happy and said,¡±¡±Aiyo, why are you here again? I told you I don¡¯t need you to pick me up.¡± ¡°Grandpa,¡± Zheng Zeyi said,¡±how can we note and visit you when you¡¯re discharged? besides, sisi still wants to apany you.¡± ¡°You only know how to make me happy.¡± Although the old man said this, he was still very happy in his heart, but he didn¡¯t mean it. ¡°Who said I was trying to make you happy? I really want to spend more time with you, Grandpa.¡± Joes said in a coquettish tone. The atmosphere between the few of them was very harmonious, and theyughed and talked along the way back. She had thought that the old master would be able to have some peace and quiet for a period of time when she returned. After all, there was no longer Ma Shan in the quad. However, they didn¡¯t expect Ma Shan to still be there. She was still living in the Zheng familypound. When they returned, they saw that Ma Shan was still there. When he saw her, the old man was very surprised and asked her,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t I tell you to leave the Zheng familypound? What are you still doing here?¡± When Ma Shan saw that the old man and the rest had returned, she quickly went forward and prepared to continue apologizing, hoping that the old man would forgive her. When she heard the old man¡¯s question, she was terrified for a moment and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s Li Han who asked me to temporarily stay. ¡± He was even angrier when he heard Ma Shan¡¯s reply. He said to Zheng ze,¡±¡±Go and get Zheng lihan for me. I have something to ask him.¡± Zheng Zeyi gave Qiao sisi a look, telling her to take care of the old man¡¯s health. He had just been discharged from the hospital and should not be angered. He then went to look for Zheng lihan. Qiao si si knew what Zheng Zeyi meant, so sheforted the old man,¡±¡±Alright, Grandpa, don¡¯t be angry anymore. Let¡¯s talk when unclees over.¡± The old man turned his head to look at Jossi.¡±You¡¯re the most sensible one. You¡¯re not like my son. What is he doing every day?¡± After a while, Zheng lihan came over with Zheng Zeyi. When the old man saw him, he questioned him,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you to send her out the next day? why is she still here?¡± When Zheng lihan heard the anger in the old man¡¯s voice, he stammered, ¡°She¡¯s my wife after all. It wouldn¡¯t look good if I gave her away. I let her stay.¡± When the old man heard Zheng lihan¡¯s answer, he knew that he did not want to send Ma Shan away. ¡°I think you don¡¯t want to send her out. How about this, I don¡¯t think you should decide. I¡¯ll decide for you. Zeyi, go and get the things in the drawer of my study. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not know what it was, but he went to get it after the old man instructed him to. He opened the drawer and saw that it was a divorce agreement. He was a little shocked. So the old man had prepared these things so early? He passed the divorce agreement to father Zheng and Ma Shan, who were both very surprised when they received it. Ma Shan looked at the divorce agreement and broke down. She burst into tears and said,¡±¡±Dad, are you going to kill me just because of this? All these years, I know you don¡¯t like me, but even if I don¡¯t contribute much to this family, I¡¯ve worked hard. ¡± Ma Shan refused to sign the contract as she did not want to lose this fortune. Zheng lihan was also shocked when he saw the divorce agreement. He did not want to divorce Ma Shan. However, he knew the old man¡¯s temper well. The fact that he could do this meant that the old man had reached the end of his patience. It seemed like he had to divorce Ma Shan. Seeing Zheng lihan¡¯s expression, Ma Shan was even more terrified. If Zheng lihan agreed to the divorce, she would really have nothing left. All these years would have beenpletely wasted. She knelt down and begged the old master and Zheng lihan, hoping that they would go back on their decision. The old man was not moved at all. He left after saying one sentence.¡±The two of you must sign this divorce agreement today.¡± Ma Shan knew that the old master¡¯s attitude could not be changed, so she went to Zheng lihan to show weakness. However, Zheng lihan knew that there was no way to change the situation. No matter how soft-hearted he was towards Ma Shan, there was nothing he could do. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± he said to Ma Shan.¡±I¡¯ll take care of you even if we get a divorce.¡± When Ma Shan saw Zheng lihan¡¯s attitude, she knew that he was ready to give up on her. She could not help but go all out. She threatened Zheng lihan,¡±¡±If you sign this, you¡¯ll move out with me. How long do you think the old man can tolerate you with his temper?¡± Zheng lihan was shocked to hear Ma Shan¡¯s words. Ma Shan had always been a virtuous and virtuous woman in front of him. She had always prepared everything well in front of him and did not need him to worry about anything. She had always had a good temper and had never lost her temper in front of him. How could she say such things? Could it be that he was really forced into a corner and told the truth? He was a little disappointed. It turned out that he had not understood Ma Shan¡¯s true colors after so many years. He wanted to sign it. However, when he thought about moving out of the courtyard, he hesitated. Zheng Zeyi, who was beside him, could tell that father Zheng was worried about his future and not what would happen to Ma Shan. She thought sarcastically,¡±so after so many years, he hasn¡¯t changed much. He¡¯s still as selfish as ever.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Zheng Zeyi said.¡±No matter what, you¡¯re still a member of the Zheng family. The old man won¡¯t chase you out.¡± Zheng lihan was relieved to hear Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, but he was still a little angry when he heard the sarcasm in his tone.¡±¡±How can you say that? I¡¯m your father. Is this how you talk to your father?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked down on him even more and said,¡±Father, I think you¡¯d better take care of yourself first,¡± Zheng Zeyi ignored him. Zheng lihan estimated the current situation and signed the contract. Ma Shan, who was beside him, tried her best to stop him from signing. However, Zheng Zeyi had the foresight to have his bodyguard wait outside the door. At this moment, he entered the room and grabbed Ma Shan. Ma Shan saw that father Zheng had signed it and said with a desperate tone,¡±¡±Just give up, I won¡¯t sign it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not up to you to sign or not,¡±Zheng Zeyi snorted coldly. ¡°Grab her hand and put your fingerprint on it,¡± he said to the security guard.¡±Don¡¯t care if she did it of her own will.¡± When Ma Shan heard that, she struggled with all her might. She scratched and bit the bodyguards, but she was still no match for the bodyguards. Her handprint was still pressed on her. After they were done, they let Ma Shan go. Ma Shan broke downpletely and felt that there was really nothing left. After a while, Zheng Zeyi and the rest left, leaving Ma Shan to bawl her eyes out. Chapter 619

Initially, Ma Shan thought that Zheng Zeyi would not be able to do anything to her as long as she refused to leave. However, she was wrong. Zheng Zeyi was really not willing to give her any face at all! ¡°Alright, pack your things and leave the Zheng family. I don¡¯t want Grandpa to be angry at you.¡± Ma Shan sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face unconsciously. She was still unwilling to leave, but Zheng Zeyi was not going to show her any mercy. He picked her up from the ground and threw her out like a piece of trash. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, don¡¯t go too far. No matter what, I¡¯m still half your mother. You can¡¯t not give me any face. You can¡¯t do this to me.¡± Ma Shan shouted angrily, but Zheng Zeyi ignored her. Even though Ma Shan shouted at the top of her lungs, Zheng Zeyi closed the door as if he could not hear her. Father Zheng still couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°Zeyi, actually, I think we should still discuss it, right? There¡¯s no need to kick her out so quickly!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t bear to? I can¡¯t bear to see you leave too!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude towards father Zheng was still as cold as ever, and his one sentence left father Zheng speechless. Ma Shan was still leaning on the door, unwilling to leave. Zheng Zeyi opened the door. Just as Ma Shan was about to go over, she saw a pile of clothes flying out and the door was closed again. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, one day, I will make you pay for what you have done today.¡± Ma Shan knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. She could only choose to leave. The only reason Ma Shan could live so happily all these years was because she had the Zheng family as her backer. However, now that she had been chased out and forced to sign the divorce papers, she didn¡¯t know what to do. If they did not have a single cent on them, they would only starve to death, let alone think of a way to save Zheng Zeyu. ¡°No, even if we¡¯re divorced, we can¡¯t do this.¡± After all, Ma Shan had stayed with the Zheng family before. It was indeed unfair to her if she left without asking for anything. ¡°Can we meet up for a chat? I really want to see you, and I know you don¡¯t want this to happen, so can we have a good talk?¡± Ma Shan called father Zheng and pleaded with him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve already signed the divorce papers. Since we¡¯re no longer rted, I don¡¯t think we have anything to talk about. I know I¡¯ve let you down, but I¡¯ve transferred some money to the bank card that you always carry with you. It should be enough for you to spend for a while. By the way, I¡¯ll give you a kind reminder. You shouldn¡¯t worry about Zeyu¡¯s matters. ¡± Ma Shan wanted to say something, but father Zheng ended the call. ¡°I, Ma Shan, am irreconcble with you.¡± Ma Shan said coldly as she clenched the phone in her hand. Ma Shan went to the bank first and withdrew some money. After finding a ce to stay, she settled down and prepared to visit Zheng Zeyu. It had been inconvenient to stay in the Zheng family for so long, so no matter how much Ma Shan wanted to visit Zheng Zeyu, she felt that it was indeed a little inconvenient, so she could only give up. Now that she had left the Zheng family, she could go and visit Zheng Zeyu. ¡°This is an important ce for the police to handle cases. Unauthorized people are not allowed in.¡± He was stopped by someone as soon as he reached the police station. ¡°I¡¯m here to visit the prison. Can you help me inform Zheng Zeyu? Just say that his mother is here. ¡± Ma Shan asked as she stuffed something into the police officer¡¯s phone. The police officer nodded and said,¡±you can wait here for a while.¡± I¡¯ll go in and report to you now. ¡± When Ma Shan was brought in, she still felt a little uneasy. She had not seen Zheng Zeyu for a long time, and she wondered if he had lost any weight. When Zheng Zeyu was brought out, Ma Shan could not help but cover her mouth and cry. ¡°Zeyu, how did you be like this? Did they hit you? How could they treat you like this? I ... What can I do for you?¡± Ma Shan looked at Zheng Zeyu¡¯s injured body through the ss and asked with a slight tremble. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine. Why did youe? ¡°I don¡¯t need you to do anything. You just need to be well. Go back quickly and don¡¯t let Zheng Zeyi and the others catch you red-handed. You¡¯re not having a good time in the Zheng family either. I¡¯m fine here, so don¡¯t worry about me. You should go back soon!¡± Ma Shan wiped the tears on her face.¡±Zeyu, I can¡¯t go back to that house anymore. I don¡¯t want to go back either. I was forced to sign the divorce papers by Zheng Zeyi. Now, I¡¯ve left the Zheng family. I might not be going back anymore.¡± ¡°What? Divorce papers? How could they do this? You¡¯ve done so much for that family, how could they be so overboard? did dad suggest this? How could he do this?¡± Zheng Zeyu asked in surprise, clearly not expecting such an oue. ¡°He agreed. You know what your dad is like. Although he looks powerful, he still relies on him when ites to critical times. ¡°If the old man forces him to get a divorce, he¡¯ll definitely agree to it. Besides, I¡¯m not in your Father¡¯s heart at all. Zeyu, I really have nothing now. I only have you, but you¡¯re still inside. How am I supposed to live on my own?¡± Ma Shan felt really helpless now. It had been so long, but this was the first time she had felt this way, and Zheng Zeyu was in such a state now. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t think that way. You still have me. You still have me. So where are you living now?¡± Zheng Zeyu asked worriedly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. Although your father divorced me, he didn¡¯tpletely leave me alone. He sent me a sum of money, so I won¡¯t starve to death during this time. I¡¯ve also found a temporary ce to live.¡± Ma Shan was very upset now, but seeing Zheng Zeyu standing in front of her with injuries all over his body made her even sadder. ¡°Zeyu, how did you end up like this? Tell mom, are they bullying you?¡± Ma Shan wanted to caress Zheng Zeyu, but there was a piece of ss between them. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m fine. They won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± Zheng Zeyu looked at Ma Shan and said. ¡°Zeyu, but you¡¯re covered in injuries. Mom is really worried about you!¡± Not only were there wounds on Zheng Zeyu¡¯s body, but the wounds were also quite deep. They looked like streaks and looked a little terrifying. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not in pain. Really, really not. You must take care of yourself when you¡¯re alone outside.¡± Zheng Zeyu could not help but feel a little ufortable. How could it not hurt? He was beaten to death every day, and there were a few times when he almost couldn¡¯t hold on. Chapter 620

¡°With so many deep wounds, how can it not hurt? I¡¯m useless. I can¡¯t save you. ¡± Ma Shan med herself very much. Zheng Zeyu was the child that she had carried for ten months, and now that he had so many injuries on his body, Ma Shan¡¯s heart ached for him. ¡°Mother, you don¡¯t have to me yourself. I was captured because I was useless. But mother, I still hope that you can help me. I don¡¯t want to ept my fate so soon. After all, it¡¯s not the time to ept it yet.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll think of a way. As long as you¡¯re still in there, I won¡¯t give up. ¡± ¡°Alright, mom, you should go back! Take good care of yourself. Only when you¡¯re healthy will I have a chance to go out, so you must take good care of yourself. ¡± Zheng Zeyu stood up and left with the police officer. Ma Shan walked over to the police officer and gave him some money.¡±¡±Mr. Police, I don¡¯t have any other intentions. I just hope that you can help me take care of him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Alright, you can go first! If he stayed any longer, it would be a little out of line. Don¡¯t make things difficult for me. ¡± Ma Shan had no choice but to leave. However, she did not n to give up just like that. Once she returned, she tried to find some of her old friends and hoped that they could help. However, after an entire morning, those so-called friends of hers had all run away faster than anyone else when they encountered such a situation. ¡°Boss Ma, I want to talk to you. I don¡¯t know when you¡¯ll be free. Let me treat you to a meal.¡± Ma Shan sighed and continued to make the next call. After being in the Zheng family for so many years, there weren¡¯t many benefits, but she knew a lot of people. Although their rtionships were maintained by benefits, she had to ask them one by one. ¡°Alright! I¡¯m sorry! Sorry for the disturbance. ¡± ¡°Chief Wang, do you have time recently? I¡¯d like to treat you to a meal. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s current situation proved that no one would be willing to help when a person was in dire straits. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I don¡¯t have time. ¡± This was the sentence she had heard the most today. Ma Shan was in an extremely dire state, but she had to survive! She had no choice but to find a job first. However, she had no academic qualifications and knew nothing. There was no job that would need her. After looking for a long time, she realized that there was no job that was suitable for her. She could only go to a restaurant and work as a waitress. ¡°Your resume is nk. Have you never done any work before?¡± The restaurant owner asked Ma Shan with a look of disdain. ¡°Yes,¡± Ma Shan nodded. I haven¡¯t done much work, but I can learn. ¡± ¡°Alright! ¡°The job is not difficult. You don¡¯t have to worry because there¡¯s nothing you need to understand. You just have to clean the table every day after the guests leave. There¡¯s no garbage in the front hall, and you have to clean the toilet regrly. In short, your job is to make sure this ce is clean and tidy. How about it? Can you do it?¡± The boss looked at Ma Shan and asked. Ma Shan nodded.¡±I can do it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good enough, then you can start! Oh, right. You¡¯ll be paid on the 15th of every month. ¡± The boss left as soon as he finished speaking. Ma Shan picked up the mop and started to clean up. If it was in the past, Ma Shan would never do such a job. However, she had no other choice now! Even if he didn¡¯t want to do it, he had no choice. ¡°The garbage disposal Auntie, pleasee over and clean up this ce for us.¡± Ma Shan was washing the mop when she heard someone calling out to her. She immediately ran over to clean up. Ever since Ma Shan and the rest had left, the Zheng family had be much more peaceful. ¡°Zeyi, what are we doing out here today?¡± Qiao sisi had always been a homebody. Now that she was pregnant, she wished she could stay at home every day. However, Zheng Zeyi would never let her have her way. ¡°You¡¯re going to get sick if you stay at home like this. I¡¯m taking you out for a walk. There¡¯s a new restaurant here, so we can go in and try it.¡± Zheng ze walked in with Qiao si si and missed Ma Shan. ¡°Waiter, please order. Sisi, I¡¯ll tell you! The food here is delicious, you must eat to your heart¡¯s content today!¡± Zheng ze pointed at the menu and said. Even though Joes loved to eat, she had not had much of an appetite for the past few days. ¡°Then bring me the best food you have here!¡± Joesse said after some thought. ¡°Two more cups of oolong tea, please.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. ¡°You said we can¡¯t eat at home? Is auntie¡¯s cooking not good? Why did hee out? It¡¯s such a waste. ¡± Joesse red at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you¡¯re saving money for me, but do you think I can¡¯t even afford a meal? Really,¡± Zheng Zeyi really didn¡¯t like the fact that Qiao sisi was saving money for him, and he didn¡¯tck it. ¡°Yes, you don¡¯t look like one, but you can¡¯t waste it. We have to think about the future.¡± Joes had been poor since she was young, so she naturally did not want her child to suffer any more grievances. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll definitely have no problem taking care of you and the child. ¡± Zheng Zeyi patted his chest and said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not going to bicker with you. I¡¯ll go to the toilet first, wait for me here!¡± ¡°Alright. But can you find it? Do you want me to go with you?¡± Joes shook her head,¡¯no need. I¡¯ll go by myself!¡± Joes went to the toilet and happened to see someone scrubbing the toilet. She wanted to ask her to move aside, but when she saw Ma Shan¡¯s face, she was stunned. ¡°MA ... Aunt MA, why are you here?¡± Joesse¡¯s mouth was a little dry. ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong person. I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll be leaving first. ¡± Ma Shan¡¯s expression changed. She wanted to leave, but she fell down because she was too anxious. ¡°Aunt MA, are you alright?¡± Joes immediately went over to help her up and asked worriedly. ¡°I already said you got the wrong person. I¡¯m not Auntie MA. ¡± Ma Shan said coldly as he shook off Joes¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll recognize you even if you turn into ashes. Aunt MA, how did you be like this? What happened?¡± In Ma Shan¡¯s eyes, Joes¡¯s concern was a deliberate show-off. ¡°Jossi, do you really not know why I¡¯ve be like this?¡± Ma Shan looked at Qiao sisi, the veins on her neck bulging as she asked coldly. Joes was truly puzzled,¡±¡±Auntie, I really pity you and want to help you. I mean it. Please believe me.¡± Joes even went over to grab Ma Shan¡¯s hand as she spoke. ¡°Get lost! Who asked you to pity me?¡± Chapter 621

¡°Don¡¯t you know why I¡¯m like this?!¡± Suddenly, an angry roar reverberated in the air. A middle-aged woman violently shook off a young girl¡¯s hand. The middle-aged woman¡¯s gaze was as if she wanted to eat the young girl up. That¡¯s right, they were Jossi and Ma Shan. Joes furrowed her brows and looked at Ma Shan in confusion,¡±¡±You deserve what you did before!¡± ¡°I¡¯m helping you now because I¡¯m kind. ¡± ¡°If you were really kind, would you have harmed us?!¡± Joes¡¯s words were like a spark,pletely igniting Ma Shan¡¯s anger. She lost control and rushed towards Joes, shouting in a rather crazy manner. ¡°B * tch, watch how I scratch you to death! I¡¯ll let you be buried with my son!¡± Joes was pregnant and it was difficult for her to move, but at least she was still rational. She tilted her body slightly and dodged Ma Shan¡¯s attacks with her clumsy body. ¡°What are you guys doing here?!¡± Suddenly, a deep male voice was heard, attracting the attention of the two. Joes¡¯s face even showed a hint of joy. ¡°Zeyi, you¡¯vee.¡± That¡¯s right, the person who hade was Zheng Zeyi. He strode towards Joes and pulled her into his embrace. He looked at Ma Shan with a slightly contemptuous gaze and said,¡± ¡°Mother, what are you doing?¡± The word ¡®mother¡¯ was extremely ironic! It instantly made her recall the glorious, luxurious, and extremely extravagant life she once lived. Ma Shan felt a dull pain in her heart. She suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and forced herself to speak. ¡°I can¡¯t afford to be called your mother. If there¡¯s nothing else, you can leave first!¡± ¡°I still have work to do.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi finally realized that Ma Shan was a cleaner. Who asked him to always worry about Jossi¡¯s safety and not care about anything else? ¡°Oh, the former first Madam of the Zheng family is now a cleaner? We¡¯ll be aughingstock if this gets out!¡± Ma Shan¡¯s eyes were filled with an unprecedented killing intent as she held the mop tightly. She wished she could skin these two!! Tches alive! ¡°But I don¡¯t think Mrs. Zheng will have to do this kind of work anymore.¡± ¡°Waiter, please call your manager over.¡± A cold glint shed across Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. He clearly did not n to let Ma Shan off so easily. He had seen it clearly just now. If he had not arrived in time, Joes and the fetus in her stomach would not have been safe! As soon as he said that, the hotel manager almost ran over in a hurry. What a joke! This was the president of the Zheng¡¯s Financial Group! If he provoked him, he would have to close the shop tomorrow! The manager looked at Zheng Zeyi with a big smile and asked,¡±¡±Mr. Zheng, may I know why you¡¯re looking for me? Don¡¯t worry! As long as you say the word, this little one will definitely go through water and tread on fire without hesitation!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through fire and water, but ...¡± Zheng ze squinted his eyes and paused before continuing,¡±¡±This cleaner just bumped into my wife and my unborn child!¡± ¡°I think you should know what to do, right?¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± Upon hearing this, the manager sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly bowed to apologize. ¡°Mr. Zheng, I¡¯m very sorry. I didn¡¯t teach you well. I¡¯ll deal with it for you now!¡± ¡°Ma Shan! Don¡¯te here anymore! Get out of here!¡± This was a 180-degree change in attitude! Ma Shan did not even have the chance to react! A bitter smile appeared on Ma Shan¡¯s face as she opened her mouth. She was about to say something, but the manager did not give her the chance. ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯ll get the security to kick you out!¡± What a joke! Zheng Zeyi was their big client! If this crazy woman in front of him said something she shouldn¡¯t have, then wouldn¡¯t he be implicated to death? Ma Shan had no choice but to leave with a dejected face. She was still wearing the uniform of a hotel cleaner. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? No! She was going to take back everything that belonged to the Zheng family! But what should he do? Ma Shan stood alone at the entrance of the restaurant and thought hard for a while. She finally got the answer. No matter what, she was still Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother. There was no moral issue with asking him to release his brother, right? Although Zheng Zeyi was the one who had personally sent Zheng Zeyu to prison, Ma Shan still wanted to give it a try. Hence, she squatted by the side of the road and waited for Zheng Zeyi toe out after dinner. After more than an hour of torture, just as Ma Shan¡¯s patience was about to run out, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si finally came out of the restaurant in a leisurely manner. She took a big step forward and stopped the two. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you have anything to say to me.¡± With that, Zheng ze turned around to leave, but he was stopped by Ma Shan¡¯s pleading voice. ¡°My good son, can¡¯t you Listen to Your Mother just this once? Even if it¡¯s just this once?¡± Zheng ze¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together as a look of disgust shed across his eyes. She hated it when this woman called herself her mother! However, these words made joesse feel somepassion. ¡°Zeyi, why don¡¯t you just have a short chat with her? I¡¯ll just wait for you in the car. ¡± Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but joesse¡¯s heart had softened. Furthermore, a mere Ma Shan would not be able to pull any tricks. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes darkened as he looked at Ma Shan meaningfully. He did not intend to bother with Ma Shan at all, but he still agreed on ount of Joes. ¡°Sure, baby, wait for me. I¡¯ll be up in a bit.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cold voice rang out again as Qiao sisi¡¯s figure gradually disappeared into the distance. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± With a plop, Ma Shan immediately knelt stiffly on the ground, tears streaming down her face. ¡°Son, it was all mom¡¯s fault before! Can you forgive me?¡± ¡°No matter what, Zeyu is still your younger brother. How could you bear to let him stay in that small and stinky prison cell?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m begging you, let your brother out!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at Ma Shan with an indifferent expression. This family card was yed really well, but after all was said and done, wasn¡¯t it all for the sake of letting her release Zheng Zeyu? Zheng Zeyi waved his hand slightly as he was getting impatient. ¡°Alright, what¡¯s the point of saying so much useless things?¡± It¡¯s not impossible for me to let Zheng Zeyu out, but ... You have to agree to one condition.¡± Ma Shan¡¯s eyes glowed with an unprecedented light as she spoke excitedly. ¡°You say it! As long as it¡¯s within my means, I¡¯ll agree to it!¡± Chapter 622

Chapter 622: Conditions that can not be agreed

¡°As long as you tell me what happened back then, I can consider helping Zheng Zeyu avoid the death penalty and even let him go.¡± ¡°You see ...¡± Ma Shan really wanted to give himself a big p when he heard that! Why did she take things so hard just now ande to Zheng Zeyi for help? Great, now he had shot himself in the foot! ¡°This ...¡± Ma Shan¡¯s expression was full of hesitation. Her eyes kept darting around, and she stammered for a long time without being able to speak. Zheng ze saw through Ma Shan¡¯s thoughts at a nce. He snorted in disdain and turned to leave. Indeed, no matter how long it had been, Ma Shan had always been this kind of person! He was not willing to pay any price to gain something for nothing. She thought that if she just said a few nice words and gave in, the world woulde running over and give her what she needed with both hands. How could there be such a good thing in the world? ¡°Hey, wait!¡± Ma Shan was anxious when she saw Zheng ze turning around to leave. She quickly eximed. ¡°You ... You should at least let me think about it!¡± ¡°How can such a matter be decided so easily?!¡± Would Ma Shan really agree to Zheng ze¡¯s conditions? I¡¯m afraid not. My current actions are just a temporary measure. As long as she could keep Zheng Zeyi in check, she might be able to release Zheng Zeyu safely! How could she hide her little scheme from Zheng Zeyi? The contempt in his eyes grew as Zheng ze threw the business card with his private number on the ground. ¡°When you¡¯ve decided,e and find me!¡± Zheng Zeyi had always been like this, not easily obliterating the fantasies of an ant. Only when the dust had settled, and their stupidity was revealed to the public, could it be considered a true defeat. ¡­¡­ ¡°You¡¯re back? How did he do it so quickly?¡± When Zheng ze returned to the car, joesse¡¯s concerned voice was heard. ¡°What¡¯s there to talk about between her and me?¡± Zheng Zeyi shrugged his shoulders. He did not intend to tell Joes what they had just talked about. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in her. I¡¯m back now. ¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Joes nodded, not fully understanding. That was indeed the case, and there was probably nothing gooding from Ma Shan¡¯s mouth. Silence returned to the car, and Zheng Zeyi was lost in his own thoughts. He would definitely investigate what had happened back then, but judging from Ma Shan¡¯s expression, he probably wouldn¡¯t tell her the truth. It seemed that he could only rely on himself to investigate. ¡­¡­ ¡°President Zheng, I¡¯ve investigated the matter you instructed me to dost time.¡± Upon hearing this, Zheng ze¡¯s spirit was lifted instantly, and a look of interest shed across his eyes. ¡°Come on, tell me what you found out.¡± Upon hearing this, a man in a suit and leather shoes lowered his head slightly, tidied up the documents, and reported in a low voice. ¡°There aren¡¯t many clues left from the Zheng family incident. The people we¡¯ve found have either lost consciousness or died ...¡± Zheng ze¡¯s face darkened as his assistant reported. ¡°Is this the result of your investigation?¡± ¡°Gulp!¡± The assistant was so frightened by Zheng Zeyi that he swallowed his saliva and his voice trembled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Zheng. Although the work is very difficult, it¡¯s not like we¡¯re empty-handed ...¡± ¡°We¡¯ve found the location of uncle li, who was working as the Zheng corporation¡¯s butler at that time. ording to the information, he has been working at the Zheng Corporation for at least 30 years. He might know about these things.¡± After a long time, he finally found some useful information. This time, Zheng ze¡¯s tightly furrowed brows finally rxed a little. Following that, he had an indescribable, strange feeling. If he didn¡¯t remember wrongly, he had met this uncle li when he was young! He was in charge of taking care of Ma Shan. Why did he disappear? Suddenly, a glint shed across Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. He seemed to have realized something. What if uncle Li¡¯s departure was because of that incident back then? At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi could not hold back any longer. He grabbed the document in his assistant¡¯s hand and ran to the address written on it. After a few hours of travel, Zheng Zeyi arrived at an extremely remote vi. There were fallen leaves everywhere in the vi. From the looks of it, no one should have lived here for a long time. Would uncle li really live in such a ce? Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zheng Zeyi knocked on the door of the vi with a ¡®try¡¯ attitude. ¡°Dong Dong Dong!¡± ¡°Dong Dong Dong!¡± There was still no movement in the vi after a few calls. Zheng Zeyi was a little disappointed. It seemed that his information was wrong! That was true! It had happened so many years ago, so it was normal to have no clues, right? Just as Zheng Zeyi was about to leave in disappointment, a soft and broken voice was heard. ¡°Yi ... Ya ...¡± Zheng Zeyi turned around abruptly, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. ¡°Uncle li? Is that you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Zeyi! I¡¯vee to find you this time because of that matter!¡± As soon as he said that, Zheng Zeyi regretted it. He had been too anxious. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for so many years, and the moment they met, they would question him. Not to mention getting an answer, they might even scare uncle li away. Just as Zheng Zeyi had predicted, uncle li had really escaped. ¡°Bang!¡± The door of the vi was closed again. The moment the door was shut, Zheng Zeyi clearly saw half of Uncle Lu¡¯s face outside. The memories of the past were once again ignited. That¡¯s right, it was him. He was uncle li! ¡°Uncle Li, I really didn¡¯t mean to disturb you!¡± ¡°As long as I investigate this matter thoroughly, I¡¯ll definitely note looking for you again. On the contrary, I¡¯ll also pay you a considerable sum of money.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s anxious voice reverberated in the air as he kept calling out to the person in the vi. Zheng Zeyi was only met with a long silence. It was so quiet that Zheng Zeyi thought that the sound just now was an illusion. Pursing his lips, Zheng Zeyi frowned and thought to himself. It seemed that uncle li had made up his mind not to see him. But, so what? Uncle li was determined, but was he not? ¡°Uncle li, if you don¡¯t agree to see me, I¡¯ll guard your door and not leave!¡± ¡°If I really can¡¯t do it, I¡¯ll just kneel here. I don¡¯t believe you won¡¯te out of this vi forever!¡± In fact, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s simple words had already given uncle li a lot of pressure. Who was Zheng Zeyi? He was the head of the Zheng n. He could earn millions every minute. If he stood in front of his house, wouldn¡¯t he be dying his work? ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence, still silence. It seemed like it was time to test the patience of both sides.

Chapter 623: The result of the bitter wait

Time passed by and Zheng Zeyi had been standing there for the entire afternoon. Apart from relieving the numbness in his legs, Zheng Zeyi had not moved his legs at all! Since he was here to ask for help, he naturally had to put on a pleading attitude. What does it look like to bezy and slippery in the middle? ¡°Ding!¡± The phone rang urgently. It was Jossi. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. Standing for a long time had drained Zheng Zeyi¡¯s energy. His voice was a little hoarse now. ¡°Zeyi, what¡¯s wrong? Why aren¡¯t you back yet?¡± ¡°What happened? I can feel that you¡¯re very weak. ¡± Qiao SI¡¯s anxious voice was heard. She could not imagine how the usually strong-willed Zheng Zeyi had be so weak. Did he encounter something? ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Zheng Zeyi moistened his throat with his saliva and tried to sound more energetic.¡±You wait for me at home!¡± How could Joes believe that he was fine? In other words, she did not dare to believe it. After all, Zheng Zeyi would not say anything even if he had something on his mind. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. You have to tell me what you¡¯re doing, or I¡¯ll go out and find you now.¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t find it, I¡¯ll take our child and sleep on the streets.¡± Zheng Zeyi felt a little helpless when he heard how Qiao sisi was determined to achieve her goal. ¡°Baby, don¡¯t make a scene, okay? I¡¯m really doing something very important. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll let you know as soon as I¡¯m done!¡± After getting Zheng Zeyi¡¯s assurance, Qiao SI¡¯s worried expression eased up a lot. ¡°Alright, but you have to promise me that you wille back safely!¡± ¡°Alright, I will definitely do so!¡± After spending a lot of time coaxing Qiao si, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mind finally returned to uncle li. He shouted into the vi. ¡°Uncle li, as you can see, before I achieve my goal, I will definitely not go back!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just waste time like this!¡± Zheng Zeyi then sat on the ground and waited patiently. The stalemate continued for about three days before there was finally some movement from the vi. ¡°Young master Zheng, don¡¯t waste your energy here. Go back early!¡± ¡°I¡¯m no longer in the Zheng family. I don¡¯t want to be involved in the Zheng family¡¯s Affairs anymore.¡± ¡°Please find someone better!¡± Uncle li still didn¡¯t show himself, but his voice continued toe from all directions, as if this uncle li was just a soul wandering in the world. He must have chosen an empty spot to confuse Zheng Zeyi¡¯s vision. It seemed that he had really put in a lot of effort to avoid her! Sighing slightly, Zheng Zeyi sat there calmly and did not move. In fact, even though it was only for a short moment, Zheng Zeyi still managed to capture uncle Li¡¯s approximate position with his sharp five senses. To be honest, if Zheng Zeyi wanted to force his way in, it would be a piece of cake. However, seeing that uncle li had served the Zheng family for so many years, she didn¡¯t want him to lose his dignity. Seeing that her persuasion was useless, the vi once again became dead silent. ¡°It seems like I can only continue waiting ...¡± Sighing lightly, Zheng ze suppressed the frustration in his heart and continued to sit there. ¡­¡­ The stalemate continued. Finally, on the fifth day, there was movement in the vi again. With a ¡°Kacha,¡± the iron door of the vi opened, as if it was silently inviting Zheng Zeyi. A look of ecstasy shed across his eyes. Zheng Zeyi staggered to his feet and ran into the vi. ¡°Uncle Li, you¡¯re finally willing to see me!¡± The excited voice stopped abruptly. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pupils shrank as he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Was this the uncle li from his memory? The tall and mighty figure in his memory was instantly shattered, leaving only the thin old man curled up in the wheelchair in front of him. Zheng Zeyi suddenly understood why Uncle li did not want to see him. However, no matter what, he still had to investigate the matter. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth was slightly open. Just as he was about to ask something, the somewhat aged voice sounded. ¡°I know what you want to ask, but the information I can provide you is very limited.¡± ¡°I only know that the mastermind behind that incident was Ma Shan. I don¡¯t know anything else ...¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was filled with disappointment. It turned out that he had waited bitterly for five days in exchange for a piece of news that was neither light nor heavy? This ... Sigh! Perhaps Zheng Zeyi¡¯s emotions were too obvious, the old man¡¯s lips curved into a kind smile as he continued to speak. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know much, I can provide you with the address of one person. She was the personal assistant of Ma Shan back then, Xiao Liu.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s her, she might be able to know something.¡± Can you not take a deep breath when you speak? This was really a little scary! Zheng Zeyi pouted helplessly, and his depressed mood suddenly improved. ¡°Thank you! I¡¯m really grateful!¡± With a new lead, Zheng Zeyi could no longer hold back his excitement. After expressing his gratitude, he rushed towards the entrance of the vi. Not long after he left, Zheng Zeyi seemed to have realized something and he stopped in his tracks. After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and made a call. ¡°Go and pick two well-trained servants to help me take care of an old man.¡± ¡°You have to report the basic situation to me every once in a while. If anything happens, all of you will get lost!¡± That¡¯s right, Zheng Zeyi wanted to find two servants that uncle li could use. No matter what, uncle li had served the Zheng family with all his heart and soul for decades. How could he be disappointed? ¡°Right, continue to investigate someone. She is ...¡± Before he could finish speaking, a toot sound was heard. Zheng ze looked over and saw that it was Jossi. Upon seeing this, Zheng Zeyi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled in relief. That¡¯s right, ever since Qiao si became pregnant, Zheng Zeyi had arranged for his assistant and the Auntie who would take care of him to stay by her side. Now that she had called her assistant, Jossi naturally knew that she was done with her work. ¡°I¡¯ll send you that person¡¯s information in a while. I need to take a call now.¡± With that, Zheng Zeyi hung up his assistant¡¯s call and picked up Qiao sisi¡¯s call. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I haven¡¯t seen you for a few days, did you miss me, baby?¡± This slightly teasing tone caused the person on the other end of the conversation to be dissatisfied. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I can ¡®t?¡± ¡°You disappeared for so long, and now you don¡¯t allow me to say anything?¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I¡¯ll tell you!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was full of adoration. ¡°I¡¯ll go home now to keep youpany, okay?¡± Chapter 624

Chapter 624: Don¡¯t dy your matters

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curved into a blissful smile. He felt a little emotional in his heart. That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve been investigating this matter for five whole days. It¡¯s time to go back and visit Jossi. ¡­¡­ As soon as he pushed the door open, a strong fragrance swirled in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s nose. He was instantly invigorated. This was ... His favorite bone soup? This was a secret that even the Auntie who had taken care of Zheng ze for more than ten years did not know. His birth mother, who was also father Zheng¡¯s lover, was the best at bone soup. At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a bitter smile, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. Ironically, her mother had chosen to make this bone soup because it was the easiest one in the soup cooking course. Now, he was actually reminiscing about it as a kind of memory. ¡°Why are you still standing here? Aren¡¯t you going toe in and help me get the soup?¡± A slightly coquettish voice rang out, instantly pulling Zheng Zeyi¡¯s consciousness back to reality. He raised his head abruptly, Joes was standing in front of him with a shovel in her hand and was ring at him. ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Grinning, Zheng Zeyi put down the things in his hands and rushed to joesse¡¯s side. He only felt that all his fatigue from the past few days had been swept away. ¡°By the way, why did you suddenly want to make me bone soup? You¡¯re in a good mood today?¡± Faced with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s question, Qiao SI¡¯s face turned red and her eyes became unfocused. ¡°Oh ... It¡¯s because this soup is the simplest ...¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare that I don¡¯t know how to do it either, and my body has be a lot clumsy ...¡± When he heard this familiar reason, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile, and the gentleness in his eyes was almost overflowing. ¡°Okay, of course. I¡¯ll try your cooking skills now!¡± There was a saying that an unintentional gentleness was the most heartwarming. Just like that, Qiao si stared at Zheng Zeyi. As she watched him drink her soup bit by bit, a hint of pride shed in her eyes. The greatest acknowledgment of a person¡¯s cooking skills was when they cleaned the food in front of them seriously. Suddenly, there was a burning smell in the air. With a Swoosh, joesse¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Not good! I still have something in my pot! I actually forgot about it!¡± At the thought of this, joesse could no longer hold herself back. She quickly stood up and wanted to rush to the kitchen, but she was pulled back by Zheng ze. ¡°Leave these things to the servants. Otherwise, why would I hire them?¡± He nced at the servant who was standing in the corner. The servant immediately understood and rushed to the kitchen. Her action wasparable to the Guinness Book of Records for a short distance sprint. There was no other way, how could it not be fast? After all, this was a matter of his livelihood. ¡°You, you only know how to bully the little girl!¡± Looking at the servant¡¯s back as she ran away, Joes red at Zheng Zeyi helplessly. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m already being nice to her.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s face was full of dissatisfaction as he muttered,¡±¡±I hired her to take care of you.¡± ¡°Now that she let you into the kitchen, I¡¯m already d that I didn¡¯t settle the score with her.¡± Qiao si looked at Zheng Zeyi helplessly andined. ¡°Why is it that the longer I¡¯m with you, the more you¡¯re like a child?¡± Having said that, joesse was still very happy that Zheng Zeyi was willing to show her a side of himself that no one knew about. ¡°By the way, there¡¯s been new progress on the matter I told you aboutst time.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was like a big child who had just received candy, showing off histest victory. ¡°What¡¯s the progress?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes narrowed as she smiled happily. ¡°The clue I found earlier didn¡¯t provide any useful information, but thanks to him, I¡¯ve found an even more urate clue.¡± ¡°Now, as long as we find out that person¡¯s address, perhaps the truth will be revealed.¡± Zheng Zeyi continued to narrate his experiences over the past few days, including his thoughts on a certain matter. Logically speaking, such a thing should be very boring. However, joesse listened with great interest. I can only let her sigh at the power of love! Suddenly, Joes seemed to have recalled something and spoke. ¡°Since we have new clues, that means you¡¯ll be fine for a while, right?¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re fine, why don¡¯t you apany me to the checkup?¡± Coincidentally, just as Zheng Zeyi was about to agree, his cell phone¡¯s text message ringtone rang. Zheng Zeyi nced at his electronic bracelet from the corner of his eye and saw the words on it clearly. [I¡¯ve found the results of the investigation you asked me to do. This is the servant¡¯s address ...] Tsk, why did it have to be at this time? This was the first time that Zheng Zeyi was so dissatisfied with his assistant¡¯s high efficiency. As if she could see Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hesitation, joesse¡¯s heart instantly sank, but she still asked without changing her expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Could it be something at work?¡± Initially, Qiao sisi was just testing the waters, but who would have thought that Zheng Zeyi would tell the truth? ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve found that person¡¯s address.¡± ¡°Do you want to go?¡± As joesse said this, the little one in her heart was already going crazy. I dare to go! I¡¯ll beat you up if you dare! However, it was as if Zheng Zeyi did not notice what was on Qiao sisi¡¯s mind as he continued,¡±¡±It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find this ce, how could I not want to go?¡± This damn straight man! Afterining in her heart, joesse sat up from the table with a ¡®whoosh¡¯, her tone extremely stiff. ¡°Oh, then you should hurry! I don¡¯t want to dy your business!¡± ¡°Just let your wife go to the hospital all alone!¡± ¡°Goodbye!¡± With a loud ¡®bang¡¯, Joes mmed the door. That voice scared the servants nearby so much that they didn¡¯t dare to look up, afraid that the gods would fight and harm the innocent. Hey, hey, even if I don¡¯t apany you to the prenatal examination, you still have a group of servants by your side, okay? How could he be alone? However, thanks to Qiao sisi¡¯s actions, Zheng Zeyi, the slow-witted guy, finally reacted. Joes was angry. That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve been out for so many days, and it¡¯s not easy for me toe back, but I have to leave again before I can even warm up my butt. Anyone would haveints, right? Furthermore, joesse was currently pregnant and her mind was extremely sensitive. Zheng Zeyi wanted to p himself on the head after he thought about this. Why was he so stupid? What should he do now?

Initially, this was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s own problem. He did not expect that he would affect Qiao sisi with his negative emotions. Zheng Zeyi really felt bad. Pregnant women were already emotionally unstable. If this matter affected the baby¡¯s movement, it would really be a sin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯m a stupid little pig. Can you forgive me?¡± Zheng ze pretended to be a little pig and acted like a clown, begging for her forgiveness.¡±Don¡¯t be angry, okay? If she really gives birth to a little pig out of anger, that would be bad. ¡± Qiao si turned her head away, not willing to face Zheng Zeyi. She kept a straight face. ¡°Ha, hahaha ...¡± It was a pity that Joes could not hold it in any longer after being tense for a while. Her series ofughterpletely exposed Joes. Seeing that Qiao sisi finally smiled, Zheng Zeyi was finally relieved. Zheng ze held Qiao SI¡¯s hand and stuck close to her.¡±Alright, don¡¯t be angry. Sisi, let¡¯s go for the checkup tomorrow. I want to see if our baby has grown up. If he knew that mom and dad were watching him together, he would definitely be happy. When hees out, he¡¯ll definitely be a fair and chubby baby. ¡± Jossi pouted and finally agreed,¡±alright, you have to go this time. You can¡¯t be absent. It¡¯s a deal.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi smiled and nodded.¡±Don¡¯t worry, I always keep my word.¡± The next day, the doctor was helping Joes to carefully examine the fetus. On the other hand, Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi were like two primary school students, carefully looking at the avatars that kept appearing on the machine, feeling confused. It couldn¡¯t be helped that examining a fetus was a technical job that Qiao si and Zheng Zeyi couldn¡¯t learn at all. They couldn¡¯t even understand the situation from the image, so they could only rely on professional doctors. The images on the machine kept shing and changing. The more Qiao si si and Zheng ze looked at it, the more confused they became. ¡°Doctor, how¡¯s the baby in her stomach? Are you healthy?¡± Joes asked uneasily. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the baby is developing well. ¡± Joes¡¯s nervousness amused the doctor. He pointed at the small shadow on the screen and said,¡±look, the baby¡¯s limbs have grown out. This is the baby¡¯s head. Sometimes, the baby will even roll around.¡± Sometimes, they could not even make out what the blurry image on the screen was, but that was enough to make joesse and Zheng Zeyi excited. It turned out that the growth of a life was so magical. At first, it was just a little dot on the screen, butter it would be a crying and noisy doll. Zheng Zeyi could not hide his excitement when he thought about how the little fellow would be released in a few months. Joesse and Zheng Zeyi looked at each other with a relieved expression. She was now a mother, and this baby was the fruit of her and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s love. It was the most unique gift in the world. Zheng Zeyi held Qiao sisi¡¯s hand tightly.¡±My dear, our little baby ising out. Look at him, his little hands are so cute. He¡¯ll definitely be like you, a beautiful baby. If he¡¯s already causing such a ruckus now, then he¡¯ll definitely be a troublesome person when he grows up. ¡± Even after she came out of the ultrasound room, Joes was still in a daze. She kept giggling foolishly as she held the blurry image. ¡°Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the baby has already grown so big.¡± Joes caressed her belly and muttered to herself,¡±there are only a few months left. I have to prepare a lot of things. Otherwise, it will be toote to prepare by then.¡± Zeyi, let¡¯s go to the mother and baby store and buy some things. ¡± ¡°Alright, as youmand. I¡¯ll definitelyplete my wife¡¯s orders as soon as possible. ¡± Zheng Zeyi agreed readily. Qiao Si was in charge of giving birth. Zheng Zeyi could not help much and could onlyfort her and apany her. However, the situation was different when it came to buying things. As long as it could make Joes happy, Zheng ze was willing to spend any amount of money. After entering the mother and baby store, Joes found the familiar feeling of shopping again. Although she was not buying things for herself, she was buying things for her unborn baby. However, as she looked at the dazzling array of products on the shelves, joesse felt as if her eyes were ying tricks on her as she fell deeply into it. ¡°Honey, you can choose freely.¡± Zheng Zeyi pointed at the shelf and said haughtily,¡±since it¡¯s for the baby, let¡¯s try to pick the best. Don¡¯t be constrained by the price. We¡¯re not short of money, so we must give the baby the best conditions. ¡± Unlike Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi was used to being thrifty and would not spend extravagantly. ¡°Oh my God, why is it so expensive to rece a bottle with a pacifier for a baby?¡± Joes looked at the item in her hands, dumbfounded. Zheng ze kept cing the most expensive items in the shopping cart as he looked at how sorry Jossi was. ¡°The expensive ones don¡¯t necessarily mean the good ones. We should still choose the ones with better quality. Besides, children¡¯s things are changed very frequently and will be reced after a period of time. There¡¯s really no need to buy such an expensive one all of a sudden. ¡± Qiao si si said in a low voice. Although she felt sorry for Zheng Zeyi for spending so much money, she still remembered his kind intentions and kept it in her heart. Out of the cautiousness of a new mother, Joes added everything that her baby needed, no matter how big or small, afraid that she would miss out on anything. Before he knew it, the shopping cart was already full. After he scanned the code, a crisp voice came from the cashier.¡±Hello, the total is 8500 Yuan.¡± ¡°What?¡± Joes¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.¡±No way. How can a child¡¯s item be so expensive?¡± I didn¡¯t take much. How could these things cost nearly 10000 Yuan? I¡¯ll return some. ¡± Joes was truly unwilling to believe that some people would spend a month¡¯s sry just to buy some baby products. This was only the beginning. There were still many things that needed to be added in the future. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart ached when he saw how flustered Qiao sisi was. ¡°No need, wrap these up. I want all of them.¡± Zheng ze pressed down on Qiao SI¡¯s hand and said to the cashier,¡±also, get me two bottles of the best milk powder for pregnant women, fish liver oil ... Forget it, give me one of the best health products you have here.¡± The cashier was overjoyed when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone. It was the first time she had met such a generous customer. She couldn¡¯t wait to promote her products, afraid that if she missed it, it would be gone forever. Chapter 626

Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions not only shocked the cashier, but also the other customers who were watching in amazement. ¡°Oh my, look at her husband. He doesn¡¯t even blink when it¡¯s just over 10000 Yuan. He really dotes on his wife. He¡¯ll definitely be a good husband and a good father in the future. I¡¯m so lucky to be able to marry a husband like him. ¡± Looking at the praises of Zheng Zeyi, joesse lowered her head shyly. She never thought that she would have a moment where she would be envied. ¡°My dear, I¡¯m the one making money in this family, and you¡¯re responsible for spending money. But Jinghua, it didn¡¯t matter. He definitely couldn¡¯t treat himself badly. You and the baby should be the priority. Health is the most important, so don¡¯t be stingy. ¡± When she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s doting words, Qiao sisi could only reply softly,¡±I understand. Hubby, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°Ding, ding, ding ...¡± The sound of a phone ringing interrupted Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s conversation. ¡°It¡¯s Grandpa, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the matter. ¡± Zheng Zeyi quickly picked up the call.¡±Hello, Grandpa, is there something wrong? Sisi and I are out shopping, we¡¯re on our way back. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing much ...¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s tone was a little more cheerful.¡±It¡¯s nothing much. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s almost noon, so I called you back for lunch.¡± Qiao si si and Zheng ze had always respected and loved old master Zheng. How could they not listen to him? ¡°I know, Grandpa. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll go back immediately. ¡± Zheng Zeyi immediately agreed. When they left, Zheng Zeyi did not forget to carry his bags of things and led the way in front of Qiao si si. Zheng Zeyi was afraid that something would happen to his wife and baby. ¡°Grandpa, we¡¯re back.¡± As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Zeyi called out to his grandfather impatiently. However, today¡¯s situation seemed to be a little different. There were two more people in the living room. One was a man who was about the same age as old master Zheng, and the other was a young and beautiful woman. ¡°Is this ... A guest?¡± Zheng Zeyi, who did not know what was going on, asked in a daze. ¡°This child, he¡¯s so young, but he¡¯s so forgetful.¡± Old master Zheng teased Zheng Zeyi,¡±Zeyi, don¡¯t you remember? This is your Grandpa Xu, my good friend. We haven¡¯t seen each other for many years. When you were young, Grandpa Xu came over as a guest and even carried you. You¡¯ve forgotten so quickly. By the way, this is your Grandpa Xu¡¯s granddaughter, Xu Xin. She¡¯s a little younger than you. ¡± After receiving elder Xu¡¯s advice, Zheng Zeyi immediately came to his senses and went to greet elder Xu. ¡°I remember, Grandpa Xu. You used toe here often. It¡¯s been a long time, and I don¡¯t really remember. If I knew you wereing, I would havee back earlier. There¡¯s so much to talk to you about. By the way, this is your granddaughter, right? she¡¯s already a beautiful woman. ¡± Zheng Zeyi turned to Xu Xin.¡±Hello, nice to meet you. I¡¯m Zheng Zeyi.¡± Xu Xin looked at Zheng Zeyi and her gaze was locked. She had many things to say in her heart, but she did not know how to say them. In the end, Xu Xin could only answer shyly,¡±Hello, brother Zeyi. I¡¯m xu Xin.¡± More than ten years had passed since he was a child. However, Zheng Zeyi was still the same and had not changed much. As always, he was handsome, mature, and stable, exuding a charm from the inside out. Elder Xu looked at Qiao sisi, who was beside Zheng Zeyi, and asked tentatively,¡±Zeyi, this is?¡± Zheng Zeyi was too engrossed in greeting the others just now and realized that he had neglected joesse, so he quickly introduced her. ¡°Grandpa Xu, this is my wife, Jossi. Because we just got married, it hasn¡¯t been long, so you might not know, Grandpa Xu. ¡± Since Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi were already married, his family would be Qiao sisi¡¯s family from now on. Joes immediately understood and greeted him sweetly,¡±Hello, Grandpa Xu. I hope you cane by more often in the future. It¡¯s good to be able to talk to Grandpa.¡± Old master Xu sized up Qiao sisi and Zheng Zeyi and subconsciously nodded. They were a perfect couple and were unusually in love, a living couple. Xu Xin was a little dazed for a moment.¡±Wife ...¡± Xu Xin had not recovered from the shock. There had been no news of Zheng Zeyi for many years. Xu Xin had been looking forward to it, but she did not expect that he would be married and soon have a child. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there. Aren¡¯t you tired?e over and eat. It¡¯s already done.¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s call pulled everyone to the dining table. Everyone at the table had their own thoughts. Xu Xin was eating her rice, but she didn¡¯t know how to taste it. Zheng Zeyi fed her sweetly.¡±Here, eat more prawns. Prawns are good for baby¡¯s body development.¡± You must eat more so that the baby can grow stronger. And this white braised chicken is also very good. ¡± Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s frequent serving of food, Qiao Si was a little embarrassed. Even though they were a young couple and it was normal for them to flirt, there were other elders and guests today, so joesse felt a little embarrassed. Unable to resist Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pampering, joesse could only remind Zheng Zeyi in a low voice as she ate the food she was fed. ¡°Hey, Zheng Zeyi, that¡¯s enough. I can¡¯t eat so much, I¡¯ll take whatever I want to eat myself. Don¡¯t give me any more food, there are people watching, it¡¯s embarrassing. ¡± When Zheng ze saw that elder Xu and Xu Xin were looking at him, he had no choice but to restrain himself. ¡°Hahaha ...¡± Not only did elder Xu not feel embarrassed, but he alsoughed out loud.¡±What¡¯s wrong with that? you don¡¯t have to be wary of us. Just do whatever you want.¡± Newlyweds, stuck together like glue, this was the time of love. We¡¯re already so old, what haven¡¯t we seen? we don¡¯t mind at all. It¡¯s fine, just eat. Eat more, and the child will grow stronger. ¡± However, Xu Xin did not look happy at all. Instead, she looked gloomy. She used to have a crush on him, but now he had married another woman and had a child with her. He was even so sweet as to put food on her te. How could Xu Xin get over this? ¡°This child, Zeyi, is really not bad. He has such great achievements at such a young age. His future is even more promising. Moreover, his wife was gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. To be so considerate and serve food to your lover, you¡¯ll definitely be an excellent husband and father in the future. It¡¯s all thanks to your Zheng family¡¯s strict education that all the children you¡¯ve raised are talented. ¡± Elder Xu kept on praising Zheng Zeyi, which made Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi feel a little embarrassed. However, Xu Xin did not think that his words were pleasant to hear. Chapter 627

¡°But really, old Xu! You see, this Yuxin is not young anymore. Shouldn¡¯t you consider his marriage?¡± Xu Xin nced at Zheng Zeyi unhappily and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not getting married. ¡± ¡°Haha, Yuxin has been a filial child since she was young. She might just be reluctant to leave you.¡± Old master Zheng could not help but tease her. Xu Xin nced at Zheng Zeyi and said unhappily,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to get married so early. It¡¯s so boring.¡± ¡°Yuxin, do you have someone you like? if you do, tell me and I¡¯ll help you.¡± Old master Zheng looked at Xu Yuxin¡¯s kind face. Xu Xin saw the happy look between Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi and did not say anything. The meal was finished just like that. Ever since Qiao sisi was pregnant, she had a special liking for sour things. Once Zheng ze knew that she was like this, he specially bought some Yangmei for her on his way back. Qiao sisi sat there and started eating the moment she finished her meal. ¡°Sisi, do you like to eat sour things that much? Yang Mei is so sour, how did you eat it?¡± Old master Xu saw Qiao sisi gnawing on the Yang Mei and walked over to ask in surprise. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t like to eat such sour things in the past, but after I got pregnant, I realized that sour things are actually quite good. Do you want to have some?¡± Qiao si si said as she handed Yang Mei over to elder Xu. Elder Xu immediately waved his hand.¡±If you think it¡¯s delicious, you can eat more. You young people have good teeth, so it¡¯s fine no matter what you do. I¡¯m old. If I eat such sour food, I think my teeth will go sour.¡± ¡°Grandpa Xu, don¡¯t talk nonsense. You¡¯re still young.¡± Qiao si SI¡¯s character quickly won over old master Xu¡¯s favor. ¡°Haha, elder Zheng! You¡¯re so lucky to have such a daughter-inw! However, they all say that sour children and spicy women. Perhaps the one in sisi¡¯s stomach is a big fat kid like Zeyi. ¡± Old master Zheng¡¯s face was full of smiles.¡±¡±Please don¡¯t be like ze Yi. I still hope that my little great-grandson can be more cheerful and lively. Look at ze Yi, he¡¯s such a shut-in.¡± ¡°Grandpa, what are you saying?¡± Zheng ze called out unhappily. ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I won¡¯t say anymore.¡± Old master Zheng said immediately, causing a burst ofughter. Xu Xin, who was watching them from the side, felt a little upset. ¡°Grandpa, when are we going back? I want to go home. ¡± ¡°Go home? Yuxin, didn¡¯t we agree on this before? Stay at your Grandpa Zheng¡¯s house for a few more days. I haven¡¯t seen your Grandpa Zheng in a long time. ¡± Elder Xu asked in confusion. Elder Zheng also said,¡±¡±Yup! Yuxin, you guys haven¡¯t been here for a long time. You and your Grandpa can stay at Grandpa Zheng¡¯s house for a few days! You¡¯ll be with me for a few days. Zeyi and the others are so busy that they can¡¯t evene home. I¡¯m happy to have you around. ¡± ¡°Grandpa Zheng, I ...¡± Xu Xin was at a loss for words. ¡°Yuxin, be good.¡± Elder Xu nced at Xu Xin and said. ¡°But Grandpa, I just want to go home!¡± Xu Xin said coquettishly. ¡°Yuxin, be good.¡± Xu Xin was sitting on the sofa unhappily. Qiao sisi walked over and sat down beside her. ¡°Yuxin, I heard that you grew up with Zeyi. Since you¡¯re Zeyi¡¯s sister, you¡¯re my sister now. You just came back from abroad, and I didn¡¯t see you when we got married. Why don¡¯t youe back with us and stay for two days? I¡¯ll take care of you for two days, how about that?¡± Qiao sisi went over and held Xu Xin¡¯s hand. Xu Xin broke free without a sound. ¡°Sisi, you¡¯re pregnant, how are you going to take care of her? Yuxin, you can stay here with Grandpa for two days!¡± Elder Xu said a little awkwardly. He didn¡¯t expect his granddaughter, who had always been obedient and well-behaved, to be like this today. ¡°No, I¡¯m going with them. I haven¡¯t seen Zeyi in such a long time and I don¡¯t need sisi to take care of me. I can take care of myself.¡± Xu Xin said as she looked at Zheng ze. ¡°Grandpa Xu, just let him go back with me! Yuxin and I haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. ¡± Zheng Zeyi also said. Xu Xin went over and held Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arm.¡±Yeah! I grew up with ze. Now that I¡¯m finally back, I want to stay with him for a few days. ¡± ¡°Alright! In that case, Zeyi, I¡¯ll have to trouble you with Yuxin. Please be more tolerant! She doesn¡¯t have a good temper. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m used to it. Didn¡¯t I grow up like this?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at Xu Xin helplessly. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Zeyi. ¡± Xu Xin pulled Zheng Zeyi and ran out of the door. Zheng Zeyi broke free from her hand and went over to hold Qiao sisi. ¡°Yuxin, your sister-inw isn¡¯t feeling well. You can go first. I¡¯ll take care of her.¡± Joes raised her head and smiled at Zheng ze. Xu Xin left unhappily. ¡°Zeyi, why do I feel like Yuxin doesn¡¯t really like me? Did I not do well enough?¡± Joes looked up at Zheng ze and asked. ¡°Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about? I know Xu Xin very well. She just likes to throw tantrums, but she¡¯s not a bad person. I believe that she¡¯ll like you after you two spend a few days together. ¡± Zheng Zeyi pinched joesse¡¯s nose and said. ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng ze opened the car door. Out of habit, Qiao si sat in the front passenger seat while Xu Xin stood still. ¡°Yuxin, get in the car! What are you doing? we¡¯re going back. ¡± Joes called out to her. ¡°Zeyi, you know that I get motion sickness. I can¡¯t sit in the back. Sister-inw, why don¡¯t you let me sit in the front passenger seat?¡± Xu Xin said as she looked at Qiao sisi. Qiao si looked at Zheng Zeyi with a troubled expression. ¡°I¡¯ve known you for so many years, howe I didn¡¯t know that you have motion sickness? Other than your sister-inw, no one else is allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. You should just sit in the back!¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a frown. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, we haven¡¯t seen each other for such a long time. How can you do this to me? I¡¯m really carsick. If you don¡¯t let me sit in the front passenger seat, I won¡¯t leave. ¡± Xu Xin said unhappily. Zheng Zeyi nodded,¡±¡±Alright! We¡¯ll be leaving then. ¡± Qiao si si patted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s shoulder,¡±¡±Yuxin,e over and sit! I¡¯ll go to the back. ¡± After Qiao si finished speaking, she got out of the car. Zheng ze was about to re up when he received a look from Qiao si. Having achieved her goal, Xu Xin sat in the car with a smile on her face. ¡°Zeyi, do you still remember? We¡¯ve always been like this in the past, and you told me when we were young that when you grow up and start driving, I¡¯ll be the only one sitting in the front passenger seat. ¡± Chapter 628

Zheng Zeyi looked at Qiao sisi¡¯s face through the rearview mirror and said coldly,¡±¡±I don¡¯t remember.¡± ¡°Wow, Zheng Zeyi, how long has it been since west met? Have youpletely forgotten what we said before?¡± Xu Xin shouted unhappily. Zheng Zeyi felt like his head was going to explode. ¡°I¡¯m driving now. Please be quiet.¡± Zheng ze said this when he saw that Qiao sisi seemed to be a little sleepy and did not want anyone to disturb him. ¡°Alright then!¡± After a while, it seemed like Joes had really fallen asleep. Zheng ze looked at her peaceful sleeping posture and smiled. Xu Xin was very unhappy when she saw this. She asked,¡±¡±Zeyi, did you really marry him because you like him?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s attitude was still cold, but Xu Xin was still unwilling to give up. She continued to ask,¡±¡±Zeyi, can you not be so cold to me? If you¡¯re angry because I¡¯ve been gone for so long, then I¡¯ll apologize to you. I¡¯m back now, aren¡¯t I?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face grew darker and darker. He even had the impulse to throw Xu Xin off the building if she said one more word. ¡°Zeyi, talk to me for a while! I just want to know, do you still have me in your heart?¡± Zheng ze mmed on the brakes and looked at Xu Xin with a forbearing expression. ¡°Since you want to know so much, I¡¯ll tell you. From the beginning to the end, I have no feelings for you. If I had any feelings for you a minute ago, I have none now.¡± Zheng Zeyi said coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. You must still be angry. I know that I left without saying goodbye, but I¡¯m back now! I¡¯m serious. This time, I¡¯ve told Grandpa that I¡¯m going to stay in the country. Zeyi, can you please stop being angry? We can always be together in the future. ¡± Xu Xin hugged Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arm and said affectionately. Zheng Zeyi really felt like he was going crazy. ¡°Get out of the car.¡± Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard wrong. There was no movement. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. Get out of the car right now. I won¡¯t say good things a second time. If you don¡¯t get out of the car, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Xu Xin looked out the window and said,¡±Zeyi, you must be joking with me.¡± It¡¯s so dark outside now, and I just came back. I¡¯m not familiar with this ce. If you let me out of the car now, what if I get lost? Besides, my Grandpa has promised me to go with you. If something happens to me, how are you going to exin it to my Grandpa?¡± Zheng Zeyi had lived for so long, and the thing he was least afraid of was being threatened. ¡°Yup! That¡¯s a very good question! But since you¡¯ve asked me before, I don¡¯t mind giving you an answer. You were the one who insisted on following me, so even if I really lost you or your grandfather mes me, it¡¯s fine. ¡± Xu Xin was about to say something when Zheng Zeyi opened the car door and pulled her out. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, you can¡¯t do this to me. Zheng Zeyi, let me go up. If I¡¯m really left here, Grandpa will never let you off.¡± Xu Xin did not expect Zheng Zeyi to really pull her out of the car. He knocked on the car door non-stop, but Zheng Zeyi ignored her. He stepped on the elerator and sped away,pletely ignoring her. No matter how she knocked on the door, it was useless. ¡°Zheng Zeyi,e back. Come back.¡± Xu Xin¡¯s screams were also cut off by the car, and gradually, she could not be heard. ¡°Qiao si si, I won¡¯t let you off. It¡¯s all because of you that Zeyi ended up like this. He¡¯s mine, I¡¯m going to snatch him back. He can only be mine.¡± Xu Xin stomped her feet and looked at the few cars left on the road. She felt sad. ¡°Hello,e and pick me up.¡± Xu Xin made a phone call and said anxiously. Feeling Zheng Zeyi¡¯s warmth, Qiao si slowly woke up. ¡°We¡¯ve arrived?¡± Joes rubbed her eyes and asked. ¡°We¡¯re here. It¡¯s cold in the car, let¡¯s go back!¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a gentle expression. Only then did joesse notice that there was no one in the front passenger seat. She asked curiously,¡±¡±Where¡¯s Yuxin? How did she disappear?¡± ¡°She went back to look for her grandfather. I didn¡¯t care about her anymore. She was pampered since she was young and wouldn¡¯t let herself suffer any grievances. She regretted it halfway, so I let her get off the car first.¡± Even after Zheng ze said that, Qiao si still felt uneasy.¡±Zeyi, tell me the truth. Why did she leave? Is it because of me? actually, I¡¯ve already felt it just now. He doesn¡¯t seem to like me very much. ¡± ¡°Zeyi, just tell me the truth! She grew up with you and I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you. Why don¡¯t we go back tomorrow?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t want you to suffer because of someone else. Alright, you don¡¯t have to think so much. He didn¡¯t leave because of you. No matter what their reasons were, it has nothing to do with you. Sisi, in my heart, no one canpare to you. No one is as important as you. No matter what other people do, they¡¯re nothingpared to you.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s sudden words caught her off guard. This sudden disy of affection left her in a daze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly telling me this? I just didn¡¯t want to put you in a difficult position, and I didn¡¯t feel wronged at all! Wasn¡¯t she just a co-pilot? It¡¯s fine. ¡± ¡°Nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I haven¡¯t said these words to you in a long time, so I wanted to repeat them for you. Alright, I¡¯ve already said that it¡¯s cold in the car. Let¡¯s go back first. If you have anything to say, we¡¯ll talk about it when we get back, okay?¡± Joes nodded and said,¡¯but I don¡¯t feel like moving. Can you hug me?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to move? Then let me think!¡± As Zheng Zeyi spoke, he took two steps forward and carried joesse. ¡°Am I very heavy?¡± Joes asked, feeling a little embarrassed. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s heavy, very heavy. My arms are sore.¡± As soon as Zheng ze finished speaking, Qiao Si was unhappy.¡±¡±Then put me down and I¡¯ll walk by myself.¡± ¡°Of course you¡¯re heavy. You¡¯re the weight of two people now, can you not do it? Although your weight has be your weight in my heart, you¡¯ve also be heavier. In the future, I¡¯ll definitely take on the responsibility of a father. ¡± Qiao si wrapped her arms around Zheng Zeyi¡¯s neck and a blissful smile appeared on her face. It was this man who filled her heart with a sense of security. Chapter 629

The next morning, joesse was woken up by a certain someone. She sat on the bed with drowsy eyes and scratched her hair in frustration. She looked at the ¡®culprit¡¯ in front of her and felt extremely angry! Who was this person? was there any justice in this world? He had already pulled her up so early. I¡¯m so sleepy, I can ¡®t! I want to continue sleeping! Qiao si cursed Zheng Zeyi in her heart, then turned around and prepared to go back to sleep. Nothing could stop her from going back to sleep. Zheng Zeyi shook his head helplessly and sighed as he looked at Qiao si who was still lying on the bed. Zheng Zeyi grinned evilly and pulled open the curtains. The sunlight shone in through the window. Jossi, who was on the bed, felt that something was amiss. She covered her face with the cup, turned over, and prepared to continue sleeping. Seeing that the person on the bed still did not move, Zheng ze walked to joesse¡¯s side and lifted her nket. This action caused Qiao SI¡¯s expression to change immediately. She sat on the bed, turned her head to the side, and mumbled to herself, as if she did not want to bother with Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi ruffled her hair helplessly when he saw her in this state. What should he do to her? ¡°Hurry up and get up for breakfast.¡± Zheng ze saw that there was no reaction from Qiao si si.¡±Are you sure you don¡¯t want to eat the breakfast I made? if you don¡¯t want to eat, I¡¯ll go and eat by myself.¡± Then, Zheng Zeyi looked like he was about to leave. When Qiao si heard this and saw that Zheng Zeyi was about to leave, she quickly pulled on his sleeve. ¡°Wait for me,¡± Joes¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. Upon hearing this, Zheng Zeyi smiled as if his scheme had worked. Qiao sisi quickly put on her clothes and held Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand as they went downstairs to the living room. The two of them had breakfast together. After Zheng ze finished his breakfast, he wiped his mouth elegantly with a tissue and looked up at the rm clock on the wall. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to work,¡± Zheng Zeyi mumbled. When Zheng Zeyi said this, his tone was full of resentment. When she heard this, Qiao si naturally understood what Zheng Zeyi meant. She stood up and put her arms around Zheng Zeyi¡¯s neck, her eyes and heart filled with him. He smiled helplessly as he looked at Jossi, who was clinging onto him like a tree. His eyes were filled with love. Following that, he ced his face in front of Joes, and without any hesitation, Joes left a mark on his face. Zheng Zeyi smiled in satisfaction and slowly put her down. He pulled her into his arms and his lips stopped by her ear. ¡°Wait for me to get home.¡± A deep voice rang in joesse¡¯s ears, and she immediately nodded. Zheng ze immediately let go of Qiao si si. With a ¡°bang¡±, Zheng ze disappeared from Qiao SI¡¯s sight. At this moment, Liu Zeyi was sitting in his office, looking at the phone in front of him. The call was quickly picked up by the person on the other end. ¡°President Zheng, do you have any orders?¡± ¡°Go and check on little Liu, the sooner the better.¡± ¡°Okay, President Zheng.¡± Then, Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone without any mercy. He squinted his eyes and looked in front of him. His bony hands were tapping rhythmically on the table. At this moment, a man wearing sunsses and carrying thetest bag that she had bought swaggered into the Zheng¡¯s group. When the front deskdy saw a stranger swaggering into the Zheng¡¯s group, she quickly stepped forward to stop Xu Ting. Seeing this, Xu Xin¡¯s expression changed. She crossed her arms and frowned. How could he be so insensible to stop her? ¡°Miss, ording to thepany¡¯s rules, you can¡¯t go up without an appointment.¡± Thedy at the front desk said as she looked at Xu Xin. Xu Xin immediately took off her sunsses when she heard this.¡±Do I need to make an appointment to get close to Xu Zeyi?¡± Hurry up and let me go up!¡± When Xu Wen heard this, the front deskdy looked embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m on very good terms with your President Zheng. With our rtionship, do I need to make an appointment?¡± There was a smile on Xu Xin¡¯s face, and no one could see any ws. Hearing this, the receptionist was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. Her heart was in a mess. He frowned slightly and pursed his lips tightly, appearing to be in deep thought. This was because she would meet such people every day, but the person in front of her looked rich and Noble. What if she was really here to discuss a coboration with President Gu? if she dyed it, the coboration would be gone. Then she wouldn¡¯t be able to stay in thispany. ¡°Miss, why don¡¯t I call President Zheng and ask for his opinion?¡± ¡°Is that okay?¡± she asked, but Xu Xin did not respond at all. ¡°Alright, go and ask.¡± Xu Xu nodded. It seemed that the front deskdy still had to be careful. She heaved a sigh of relief when Xu Xin agreed with her. Fortunately, he was fine! The front deskdy quickly ran to the table in front of her and dialed the phone skillfully. ¡°Toot du du du du ...¡± A phone rang and he waited for someone to pick up. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± A cold voice came from the phone. ¡°President Zheng, someone is looking for you downstairs. It seems to be an acquaintance.¡± The front deskdy felt uneasy as she said this. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression changed immediately when he heard this. He suppressed the anger in his heart. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that any random cat or dog has to be allowed in even if they know me?¡± He rubbed his forehead tiredly. Sure enough, he was too kind. He was so kind that he didn¡¯t even follow thepany¡¯s rules. ¡°No, President Zheng,¡± The front deskdy¡¯s voice was getting softer and softer. ¡°Since it¡¯s not her, then quickly get her out of here! What kind of cat or dog is he?¡± An extremely displeased voice came from the other end of the phone. The front deskdy was already scared out of her wits by Zheng Zeyi. If there was an ident, she might not even be able to keep her job. On the other end, Zheng ze picked up the call and hung up. The front deskdy put down the phone.¡±How is it? Didn¡¯t your President Zheng agree to let me go up and look for him?¡± Hearing this, the receptionist¡¯s face immediately darkened. If it wasn¡¯t for this woman, she would have lost her job. ¡°Miss, our President Zheng wants you to leave this ce.¡± Thedy at the front desk nced at Xu Xin and said coldly. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give him a call.¡± Immediately, Xu Xin took out her phone and dialed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s number. ¡°I¡¯m under yourpany. Why don¡¯t you want to see me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± Zheng Zeyi said coldly. Hearing this, Xu Xin¡¯s lips curled up.¡±Can¡¯t we meet because of our grandfather¡¯s rtionship?¡± Chapter 630

Chapter 630: We can leave together

It was a sunny Sunday. A beautiful melody woke up a beauty in her sleep. Her slender hands aimlessly explored the source of the music, and she pressed the song without thinking. However, the music seemed to bepletely on Sleeping Beauty¡¯s side. Even though she pressed the button every time, the song would start humming again soon after. She had no choice but to take the phone, her smooth fingers gently and randomly sliding across the screen. On the other end of the phone, a voice that could not be dyed like a Lark drilled into her ears.¡±Sisi, it¡¯s not easy for us to get a holiday. We can¡¯t waste the good time. Why don¡¯t we go shopping together?¡± However, the only response was a steady snore, which made Anna Chen, who was on the other end of the phone, fly into a rage. A sly smile shed across the corner of her mouth.¡±Joes, don¡¯t me me for being heartless. You forced me to use my ultimate move!¡± In fact, the result could be imagined. The beauty who was sleeping was instantly woken up, and she sat up straight in horror. On the other side of the phone, Chen Anna was having a lot of fun. She muttered to herself,¡±little guy, I can¡¯t control you. Get up and let¡¯s go shopping.¡± Her delicate fingers randomly grabbed her bird¡¯s nest-like ck hair, wishing that she could grab the smug little person over and give him a good beating to vent the hatred in her heart. However, she could only hold it in and reply,¡±alright, I¡¯ll freshen up first and change my clothes. I¡¯ll go out immediately. See you at the usual ce.¡± It could be said that he was gritting his teeth! It wasn¡¯t easy for her to sleep until she woke up naturally, and she didn¡¯t have to wake up early or go to sleepte. However, someone had destroyed her beautiful dream. It¡¯s never toote for a gentleman to take revenge. She silently remembered this in her heart. There was a dazzling array of shopping malls and a sea of people on the streets. Two petite figures were wandering around the corners of the street happily, and it was obvious that the bags on their slender elbows were full of fruits. However, Chen Anna was not satisfied and continued to advance. However, Joes, who was following closely behind, felt as if her legs were filled with iron and could not move at all. However, Chen Anna, who was running in front, tightly wrapped her slender fingers. Even if she wanted to stop and rest, she could not pull her fingers away. She could only use her hands to support her waist that could not straighten up. ¡°That ... That, Nana, let¡¯s rest for a while and drink something. My mouth is really dry and I can¡¯t walk anymore.¡± However, Chen Anna seemed to turn a deaf ear to him and continued to walk forward. However, not only did her pace not slow down, but it became even faster. However, Joes could only shake her head helplessly. As her hands were tied up, she could only follow closely behind. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Anna Chen walked straight into a milk tea shop. Moreover, Joes was a key ss 1 protected animal. If anything were to happen to her, Anna Chen would not be able to bear the responsibility. Furthermore, a certain man might cut her into a thousand pieces. Although she didn¡¯t say anything, Chen Anna was still a doer as always. Even if she was extremely annoyed with the troublesome little woman behind her, she still doted on her. Perhaps besties meant that even if two people disliked each other, they would never allow others to hurt you. Even if she was good-for-nothing, you were only allowed to bully and mock her, but no one else was allowed to hurt her. Shey limply on the sofa without moving. Her cherry-like mouth bit the straw and sucked on the milk tea. The Milky fragrance rushed to her taste buds, making Jessi feel much more alive. She even took the initiative to ask,¡±Nana, where¡¯s our next stop?¡± However, her gaze was attracted by the peach pastry stall outside the transparent window. Chen Anna, who was sitting beside her, naturally saw through her thoughts.¡±Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± However, Joes was like a happy little rabbit as she strode forward. Her eyes were fixed on the peach Crisps that were like fresh flowers blooming. Thus, she decided to buy them. However, delicious food was more delicious when it was shared with others. She rushed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯spany with the peach blossom cake in her hand, but unexpectedly met Xu Xin, who was hesitating downstairs. In fact, the two of them were going together, but Chen Anna was called away by an emergency call halfway, so the two-person trip became a single-person trip. However, the hesitant Xu Xin seemed to have seen her Savior. She ran forward without dy, but a sly smile shed across the corner of her mouth. She had obtained it without any effort. Although Xu Xin had the intention to go up, she was turned away by the front desk as soon as she stepped into thepany. She could only helplessly loiter outside thepany, but in fact, she was racking her brain for a solution. However, it was of no use even if she called her grandfather. She could only wait outside. Perhaps it was a blessing from the heavens, but joesse descended like an angel. A n came to her mind. If it was Jossi, she would definitely be able to enter thepany without any obstacles. As long as she requested to follow her, she would definitely be able to enter thepany easily and see the man she had been thinking about all day. She immediately went up to Qiao si and hugged her slender arm like a friend. She even took the peach pastry from Qiao si SI¡¯s plump and fair hand.¡±Qiao si si, youe to thepany to find one too.¡± She pursed her cherry-like lips and continued,¡±since we happened to meet at thepany¡¯s entrance, it can be considered a kind of fate. Why don¡¯t we go in together? I happen to have something important to do as well.¡± In fact, Xu Xin¡¯s heart was uneasy. Her mind was like a time machine as she recalled bits and pieces. She was at loggerheads with him, and her expression was too obvious. Jiai Wujia clenched her fists tightly, but her palms were covered in cold sweat. It was as if she was walking back and forth on the edge of life and death. She added fuel to the fire at the right time, and even the way she addressed her became more intimate.¡±Sisi, let¡¯s go up together. We can chat about our daily life and bepanions.¡± However, Joes nodded gently like a harmless little white rabbit.¡±We can go together. Every time we go to find Zheng Zeyi, he¡¯s either in a meeting or on a video call, leaving me alone at the side. If you go up with me, you can chat with him.¡± However, the moment she stepped into the front desk, thedy at the front desk merely smiled at Joes. In fact, she was hesitating, and the observant front deskdy could tell at a nce. However, he stopped Xu Xin, who was following closely behind.¡±Miss Xu, I¡¯ve made it clear before you came in that you can¡¯t meet President Zheng without an appointment. Please wait outside or in the lobby.¡± However, her slender hands held Qiao sisi¡¯s slender arm tightly, and her eyes were shining as she looked at the life-saving straw.¡±Xu Xin came to Zheng Zeyi with me, don¡¯t stop her.¡± It was obvious that Qiao sisi¡¯s words were orders. They entered thepany smoothly, but Xu Xin seemed to have been wronged and deliberatelyined to Qiao sisi. She rushed into the elevator alone and keptining to Joes,¡±Zheng Zeyi didn¡¯t let me go up. And as you just saw, I was stopped in the lobby as soon as I walked into thepany¡¯s front desk.¡± Zheng Zeyi had gone to wee Qiao sisi with joy, but Xu Xin was a little surprised to see her.

¡°Why are you two together?¡± Zheng ze asked unhappily when he saw Xu Xin and Qiao sisiing up together. Qiao si si nced at Xu Xin and said,¡±¡±I just saw Xu Xin being stopped by the security guard at the door, so I brought her here.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to go back? Why didn¡¯t you leave?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked Xu Xin coldly. ¡°I just wanted toe and see you, Zeyi. Grandpa told me toe and learn more from you, so I came, but you didn¡¯t let mee up. Thank you, sister sisi.¡± As Xu Xin spoke, she went over and hugged Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arm. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression turned cold as he pulled his arm away. ¡°Zeyi, why didn¡¯t you let Xu Xine up? It wasn¡¯t easy for me toe back, so don¡¯t bully me. ¡± Joesse red at Zheng Zeyi. Zheng ze hugged Qiao si and looked at her lovingly.¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this. Tell me, what did you buy today?¡± ¡°Oh, right, I almost forgot. I bought this for you. Try it.¡± Qiao sisi took out the peach Crisps that she had just bought from outside from the bag beside her and gave them to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Alright!¡± Zheng Zeyi took it. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°Zeyi, I remember that you¡¯ve never eaten these things before. After all, we don¡¯t even know if the things sold at the stalls outside are clean. Sister sisi, don¡¯t you know that?¡± Qiao sisi looked at the peach Crisps in her hands, then looked at Zheng Zeyi in confusion.¡±¡±You¡¯re not eating? I remember that you used to eat all the food I bought for you!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll eat it. Anything you buy is delicious. Alright, let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go to my office. ¡± Xu Xin was very unhappy that she had been ignored. She immediately chased after him. ¡°Zeyi, I want to eat too.¡± Xu Xin stomped her feet and chased after him. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t want to eat? Not clean, the things sold at this kind of stall are not clean, how can they be worthy of a young miss like you, you should go back! Alright?¡± Zheng Zeyi was really annoyed to death by Xu Xin. He really did not know why she came back to harm others when she was doing well abroad. ¡°I was just saying. Since you can eat it, I want to try it too!¡± Qiao sisi looked at the remaining box of Peach Crisps in her hand and gave it to Xu Xin. ¡°Here, you can eat it!¡± Xu Xin took the bowl and started eating without any hesitation. She had wanted to cause trouble, but she realized that it was really delicious after taking a bite. She could not control herself and finished it all. Zheng ze¡¯s face darkened as he watched her eat. ¡°Sister sisi, I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯ve finished all of them. Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t eaten yet? Do you want me to take you to dinner?¡± ¡°No need. Let¡¯s eat together.¡± Zheng ze gave his share to Jossi. ¡°It¡¯s okay, as long As You Like It. Zeyi and I can just have one serving. I¡¯m pregnant, so I can¡¯t eat much. ¡± Qiao si looked at Zheng ze and smiled, and Zheng ze fed her the innermost piece. ¡°Alright then!¡± Xu Xin was very upset when she saw their interaction. ¡°Sisi, do you have anything else today? If there¡¯s nothing else, you can apany me in thepany! I¡¯ll get off work earlier today and go shopping with you. ¡± Jossi nodded.¡±I¡¯m free this afternoon. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve been with you in the office. Alright!¡± ¡°Yes, sure.¡± ¡°No way? Sister sisi, are you really that insensible? Zeyi is so busy with work every day, but he still has to go shopping with you. Even if he¡¯s taking the initiative to ask, you should be more sensible, right?¡± Xu Xin looked as if she knew Zheng Zeyi very well, and Qiao si frowned slightly. ¡°Xu Xin, if you really don¡¯t have anything to do and you¡¯re too bored, can you please go back to where you came from? Do you think you can ruin the rtionship between us just by saying a few words?¡± Joes¡¯s gentle personality did not mean that he could let it go. After all, there were many green tea like this these days. ¡°Zeyi, how can you say that about me? I¡¯m doing this for your own good! If I didn¡¯t care about you, I would have said that. You can reject my kindness, but you can¡¯t misunderstand me like this! Sister sisi, I grew up with Zeyi and I¡¯m just concerned about him out of habit. I don¡¯t mean anything else. If you¡¯re overthinking it, I¡¯ll apologize. ¡± Xu Xin turned around and said to Qiao sisi. Qiao sisi nced at Zheng Zeyi and said,¡±¡±Zeyi, I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°Yuxin, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not overthinking it. It¡¯s true, Zeyi. You¡¯re already working so hard every day. I¡¯ll apany you to work here today. You don¡¯t have to go shopping with me at night. When we get home, I¡¯ll cook for you.¡± Qiao sisi looked at Zheng Zeyi obediently. Ever since she was pregnant, Zheng Zeyi seemed to have be gentler and gentler towards her. Hence, Qiao sisi¡¯s personality had naturally changed a lot. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to be tired. Besides, I¡¯m not tired at work. I still have time to go shopping with you. Have you forgotten how long it has been since west went out together?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at joesse unhappily, and joesse looked back at him helplessly. ¡°Xu Xin, don¡¯t mind him. Zeyi¡¯s always been like this. He¡¯s not targeting you on purpose.¡± Qiao sisi exined to Xu Xin, feeling a little embarrassed. Xu Xin shook her head and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. We grew up together. I know better than you what kind of person he is, so I definitely won¡¯t me him. ¡± ¡°Zeyi, I know you¡¯re ming me for leaving without saying goodbye. I promise you that I won¡¯t leave again this time. I¡¯ll stay with you, alright? Don¡¯t me me, or you can tell me, what will it take for you to forgive me? How about this! I¡¯ll treat you to dinner tonight, okay? We haven¡¯t had a meal together in a long time. ¡± ¡°How about the Korean restaurant that you like the most? I remember that you used to like that restaurant very much. I didn¡¯t like it at first, but because of you, I started to like it too. ¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at her coldly.¡±If you like it, then go! I don¡¯t like it, and I don¡¯t want to go. ¡± ¡°Zeyi, I know you¡¯re still ming me. Tell me then, what can I do to make up for all the harm I¡¯ve done to you in the past? as long as you say it, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Xu Xin was still unwilling to let him off. She thought that Zheng Zeyi treated her this way because she had left without saying goodbye at that time. ¡°I¡¯ve told you so many times that I¡¯m not angry. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Zheng Zeyi was really annoyed. ¡°Zeyi, if you¡¯re not angry, then why are you treating me like this now? You were very good to me in the past. ¡± Zheng Zeyi took a deep breath.¡±Since you¡¯re so eager to know, I¡¯ll tell you. Listen carefully.¡± Chapter 632

Trantor: 549690339

¡°The reason I¡¯m treating you like this now isn¡¯t because of what happened in the past. It¡¯s because I think you¡¯re really annoying. Also, I think you might have some misunderstandings about me. The only reason I yed with you in the past was purely because I had free time.¡± As soon as Zheng Zeyi finished speaking, Xu Xin¡¯s expression copsed. She did not expect the answer she had been waiting for so long to be like this. ¡°Zeyi, I know that you¡¯re just saying this out of anger. I also know that you¡¯re not thinking this way. You¡¯re only saying this to anger me.¡± ¡°Xu Xin, if you¡¯re really having problems with yourprehension, then I¡¯ll tell you again. Xu Xin, I only yed with you when we were young because of our family, but now that we¡¯re all grown up, we should have our own lives. Really. Can you not be so childish?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked coldly. Xu Xin¡¯s behavior really made him feel annoyed. ¡°Zeyi, don¡¯t be like this. Talk to me properly.¡± For some reason, Joes started quarreling and did not know what to say. ¡°Sisi, can you wait for me in the office for a while? I¡¯ll be there in a bit. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said as he looked at Joes with a gentle expression. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes felt that she was indeed a little redundant, so she chose to leave. ¡°Zeyi, is it because of her? Is it because of her that you¡¯re treating me like this?¡± Xu Xu asked after Qiao si left. ¡°Xu Xin, can you not be so unreasonable? I¡¯ve already exined it clearly. If you really don¡¯t understand, then there¡¯s nothing I can do. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m being unreasonable? Zheng Zeyi, you know that I like you. I¡¯ve liked you for so long, how can you do this to me? I¡¯ve only left for such a long time and you¡¯re already married. Do you even care about me?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at her and found her rather funny.¡±¡±Xu Xin, do you have some misunderstanding about me? Whether it was before or now, I don¡¯t remember saying anything about being with you or anything else, right?¡± ¡°Zeyi, even if you never said it, we were already so close back then. We were going to get married!¡± Xu Xin said. Zheng Zeyi felt helpless. ¡°Then maybe you¡¯re really overthinking it. Xu Xin, I still have to trouble you to understand yourself a little, okay? You can go back! I don¡¯t want to talk to you too much. ¡± Zheng Zeyi felt that he was about to go crazy from anger. ¡°Alright, you can go back now! I don¡¯t have time to have dinner with you tonight. Don¡¯t talk about what happened between us in the past. I have a wife and a child now, so I hope you won¡¯te and disturb our life. ¡± Xu Xin was very angry when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. She stomped her feet and left. ¡°What happened to Xu Xin? Are you alright?¡± Qiao si si asked curiously when she saw Zheng ze Yi. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry about others. Give me ten minutes, I¡¯ll finish thest bit of work and we¡¯ll leave.¡± Zheng Zeyi patted joesse¡¯s head and said gently. Joes did not say anything else and nodded in agreement.¡±¡±Alright,¡± he said. Zheng Zeyi had promised Qiao sisi that he would be very urate in everything he did. ¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯m done. ¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at the time and made sure that it had not been ten minutes before he left in satisfaction. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Where do you want to go? I¡¯ll go with you today. ¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at joesse and asked. ¡°Since you¡¯re free, why don¡¯t we go and look at the child¡¯s clothes?¡± Joes looked at him and blinked her eyes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at her with a doting gaze. If the people in thepany saw Zheng Zeyi in this state, their eyes would probably fall out. When Zheng Zeyi was with Qiao sisi, he would not answer anyone¡¯s call unless it was urgent. The phone rang a few times, and Joes smiled.¡±¡±Zeyi, it might be something urgent, you should pick it up!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯m going to take a call ande over immediately. ¡± Zheng Zeyi took out his phone and saw that it was his assistant. ¡°Alright!¡± Joes nodded.¡±Go and pick it up!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rush?¡± Zheng Zeyi. He asked unhappily. ¡°President Zheng, we¡¯ve found Liu.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s eyes flickered when he heard this. He had finally found it after so many days. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the urgent matter?¡± Joes asked. ¡°Sisi, I¡¯ve found Liu.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not hide anything from her. ¡°You found it? Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and go!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded.¡±I¡¯ll get the car.¡± They found Xiao Liu¡¯s house ording to the address sent by the assistant. Joes went over and knocked on the door. ¡°Are you little Liu?¡± Joes asked when she saw the man who opened the door. ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong person. ¡°The man looked at them. After saying this, he mmed the door shut. Zheng Zeyi went over and knocked on the door again. The man came out and said impatiently,¡±¡±I already said that you got the wrong person. Are you done?¡± ¡°Little Liu, I know better than anyone that I didn¡¯t get the wrong person. I¡¯m here to find you this time to find out the truth.¡± Zheng Zeyi went over and pushed the door to prevent him from closing it. ¡°What are you saying? I don¡¯t understand. ¡± Little Liu¡¯s eyes were a little evasive. ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t understand. Let us in and we¡¯ll exin it to you slowly.¡± Before Xiao Liu agreed, Zheng ze pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Hey, what are you guys doing? Trespassed into a famous house, alright? I can Sue you. ¡± Liu ran over anxiously. ¡°Liu, unless you tell me what happened in person, I won¡¯t leave today.¡± Zheng Zeyi sat on the sofa with a Rascal-like expression. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything. Don¡¯t ask me.¡± Liu was still trying to avoid the question. ¡°These are your children, right?¡± The moment joesse entered the room, she noticed the two children who were working hard on their homework. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Xiao Liu immediately looked at Jossi and said cautiously. ¡°Argh! Dad, my heart hurts. It hurts so much. ¡± Suddenly, the little girl clutched her heart and cried out. ¡°Quick, call 120.¡± Qiao sisi called for the doctor while Zheng Zeyi called for the ambnce. ¡°Liu, does the child have congenital heart disease? Give him the medicine first, then send him to the hospital. This will reduce the pain. ¡± Jossi said with a frown. ¡°Good, good.¡± Little Liu was really anxious. ¡°Thank you, thank you.¡± After the child¡¯s surgery waspleted, Xiao Liu looked at Zheng Zeyi and the rest with gratitude. ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. I just want to know the truth. Xiao Liu, tell me the truth. What happened back then?¡± Little Liu didn¡¯t say anything. He immediately lowered his head, as if he was considering whether he should say it or not. Chapter 633

¡°If you really want to thank me, then tell me what happened back then.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s calm voice reverberated in the air, and Xiao Liu lowered his head hesitantly. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi had indeed treated him well, but who could guarantee that they did not have other motives? If they achieved their goal, would they reveal their true form? After all, Xiao Liu was a maid from a big family. She didn¡¯t know much about the twists and turns in this, so it was normal to have concerns. Seeing Xiao Liu¡¯s evasive gaze and stammering for a long time, Zheng Zeyi was a little anxious. ¡°If we really wanted to harm you, we would have already captured you and forced you to confess! Do you even understand!¡± At the end of his sentence, Zheng Zeyi took a big step forward and grabbed Xiao Liu¡¯s shoulders, shaking him. This time, Xiao Liu waspletely shocked. When had she ever seen the high and mighty CEO act like this? Could it be that Zheng Zeyi was so angry that he killed her to silence her after the deal failed? ¡°Zeyi, calm down!¡± Qiao si quickly grabbed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sleeve andforted him,¡±¡±Can¡¯t we talk about this?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy to get to this point, so it doesn¡¯t make a difference to wait a little longer ...¡± Perhaps it was because Qiao SI¡¯s words had an effect, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s rationality slowly returned, and his expression returned to its usual indifference. He tidied his tie and separated himself from Liu to maintain a safe distance. He apologized solemnly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry about what happened just now, but it¡¯s your choice whether you want to help us or not!¡± ¡°But I hope you can consider it carefully.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not care about Xiao Liu¡¯s reaction. He grabbed joesse¡¯s arm and left the hospital. Zheng Zeyi left in a hurry, and joesse found it a little difficult to follow him. Even her breathing had be heavy. Zheng Zeyi, who noticed this, immediately stopped and looked at joesse guiltily. ¡°Baby, I¡¯m really sorry for just now. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re tired.¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be such a thing happening again.¡± Hearing this, Joes shook her head slightly and smiled. She said gently,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. Pregnant women need to exercise well!¡± ¡°Besides, this matter concerns your biological mother. It¡¯s understandable that you¡¯re feeling emotional.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart melted when he saw how understanding Qiao sisi was. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was so sacred and solemn as he pecked on her forehead with his thin lips. ¡°Thank you for understanding me, honey ...¡± ¡°But, it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have any requirements!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. As expected, she was still angry? ¡°Mm, go ahead,¡± Zheng Zeyi quickly expressed his opinion,¡±¡±As long as you don¡¯t hurt yourself, I¡¯ll agree to anything.¡± ¡°From now on, you have toe to the hospital every day and take care of Liu¡¯s child.¡± The sudden request stunned Zheng ze for a moment, then he was touched like never before. Joes was doing this for her! A person¡¯s heart was not made of stone, not to mention that Xiao Liu¡¯s son was seriously ill. As long as Zheng Zeyi was sincere enough, Xiao Liu would agree to it one day. ¡°Alright, no problem! We¡¯lle here every day!¡± ¡­¡­ Just as Zheng Zeyi had said, he went to the hospital with joesse every day. Zheng ze was strong and was in charge of taking care of Xiao Liu¡¯s son. Joes was pregnant and could not move, so she could only sit there and tease him. In the beginning, Xiao Liu was extremely resistant, thinking that these two people would plot against his son. As time passed, Xiao Liu¡¯s son also fell in love with the two older brothers and sisters. Xiao Liu could only helplessly ept it. One day, the doctor-in-charge walked into Liu¡¯s ward with a solemn face. ¡°Are the family members of bed 18 here? I¡¯ll have to trouble you toe out with me. ¡± As if realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Liu quickly followed him out. Before he went out, he didn¡¯t forget tofort his son. ¡°Mommy will be back in a while. Baby, you have to be good and listen to your big brother and big sister!¡± In this world, it was always women who understood women best. Jossi immediately reacted. She gave Zheng Zeyi a look and sneakily followed Xiao Liu and the rest out. ¡°Miss Liu, you have to be mentally prepared for what I¡¯m going to say next.¡± ¡°Your son needs a heart transnt, or his life will be in danger.¡± ¡°How can this be?!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the child can undergo the transnt surgery before he turns seven?¡±Liu eximed, losing hisposure. ¡°He¡¯s still so young!¡± Hearing this, the attending doctor¡¯s face also showed a heavy expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, miss Liu. The recent X-ray shows that your son¡¯s condition has deteriorated very badly. The heart transnt operation was also a forced decision.¡± In fact, there was one thing that the doctor didn¡¯t say. Xiao Liu¡¯s son was too young, and the operation might not be sessful. However, Xiao Liu¡¯s son had been in the hospital for so many years, so he more or less had some feelings for him. He really couldn¡¯t bring himself to say such words. With a ¡°plop¡±, Xiao Liu fell to the ground. Her eyes were listless, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. This time, her son was probably doomed. The cost of a heart transnt surgery was not a small sum! The average family could not afford it at all! ¡°Miss Liu, please take your time to think about it!¡± ¡°I still have other patients, so I won¡¯t be staying any longer. I won¡¯t be sending you off.¡± Although Liu¡¯s situation was pitiful, he still had countless patients waiting for him to save. Moreover, life, old age, illness, and death were all part of human nature. Shaking his head slightly, the doctor-in-charge turned and left. Joes, who was eavesdropping by the side, knew that her chance hade. ¡°Liu, I heard what the doctor said just now. Are you...Okay?¡± ¡°Why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?¡± Little Liu¡¯s voice was unusually cold, and his entire body exuded an aura that kept people at arm¡¯s length. This made Jossi freeze for a moment. She quickly adjusted herself. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to eavesdrop on your conversation, but shouldn¡¯t our main problem now be your son¡¯s condition?¡± ¡°Hehe! Why is my son like this?! Don¡¯t you know that?¡± At this moment, Xiao Liu hadpletely lost control. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown as she sat on the ground and screamed. She was even tearing at joesse¡¯s clothes in a frenzy. ¡°It was you guys, it was you guys!¡± ¡°Ever since you guys came, my son¡¯s condition has been worsening. Did you guys do it?¡± Chapter 634

The powerful force made Joes breathless. Her face was flushed red as she struggled. ¡°You ... Calm down ... A little ...¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t want to ... Hurt your ... Son!¡± However, at this time, Xiao Liu had been overwhelmed by sadness and didn¡¯t care at all. She just wanted to strangle the person in front of her! ¡°What are you doing?¡± A cry of shock rang out as a huge force separated Xiao Liu and joesse. That¡¯s right, this person was Zheng Zeyi. With his sharp senses, Zheng Zeyi rushed over as soon as he heard themotion outside. Of course, he did not forget tofort Xiao Liu¡¯s son. Xiao Liu had no chance to move at all as his hands were caught by Zheng ze. ¡°Let me go, you bunch of murderers!¡± Zheng Zeyi was not as good-tempered as Qiao sisi. His temper red up when he heard this. ¡°Don¡¯t you know in your heart that we¡¯re not murderers?¡± ¡°If I wanted to harm your child, why would I use such a method?!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just order the hospital to give up on your son¡¯s treatment!¡± This time, Xiao Liu stopped struggling and sat on the ground in a daze, like a puppet that had lost its master. Zheng Zeyi did not let her off just because of this. He was still as aggressive as ever. ¡°If we¡¯re talking about guilt, you should be the one who¡¯s the most guilty, right?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have the ability to have a child? Your parents are the biggest original sin!¡± Finally, Qiao sisi could not take it anymore and called out to stop Zheng Zeyi. ¡°That¡¯s enough. You¡¯re not a mother. How can you understand a mother¡¯s inner thoughts?¡± ¡°Little Liu, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. This guy is a straight Man of Steel!¡± ¡°Our top priority now is to treat your son¡¯s illness. You¡¯lle and help, right? Zheng Zeyi?¡± After she finished speaking, Qiao si gave Zheng Zeyi a few meaningful looks and even called out his full name to hint at him. ¡°Hmph!¡± Zheng Zeyi snorted in disdain and said in a stiff tone,¡±¡±As long as you don¡¯t talk nonsense and give up on yourself, I¡¯ll help you.¡± With the promise of the Zheng family¡¯s President and his wife, Liu finally had some confidence. She got up from the ground and bowed at a 90-degree angle to Zheng ze. ¡°Please save my son, President Zheng. As long as you can save my son!¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to go through fire and water for you!¡± Jossi quickly helped Liu up and said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± ¡°Whether you do it for us or not, we will help you.¡± ¡°Mother! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± A tender voice came from not far away. Everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. It was the voice of Xiao Liu¡¯s son! He saw Xiao Liu¡¯s son leaning against the door of the ward, looking out with a face full of worry. His little face was red from holding back his breath. It seemed that it was not an easy job for him toe here from the hospital bed. ¡°Baby, why did youe down from the bed? Don¡¯t you know that you can¡¯t do any vigorous exercise now?¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine,¡± Liu said reluctantly,¡±¡±It¡¯s not difficult to get out of bed, but you ...¡± ¡°I just heard you cry, mom.¡± A woman is weak, but a mother is strong. At this time, Xiao Liu couldn¡¯t care so much. He quickly wiped the tears on his face and tried to cheer himself up. He walked in front of his son and walked around. ¡°How can mommy cry? Mommy is very strong!¡± ¡°Baby, don¡¯t make a fuss. Mommy will take you back to the ward now, okay?¡± This time, Xiao Liu¡¯s son didn¡¯t say anything. He was quietly carried back to the ward by Xiao Liu. Suddenly, Xiao Liu¡¯s son seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and said to Xiao Liu solemnly,¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll treat you properly. Don¡¯t be unhappy, okay?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Liu burst into tears again. This innocent child used his own unique way to wish for his mother to be happy. Wasn¡¯t this the best way to repay him in the world? ¡°Good! Mommy is happy!¡± The corner of Liu¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. He was very happy. This was the first time she had smiled since she had heard the bad news. Zheng Zeyi slowly took out his phone and ordered his assistant as he looked at the mother and son¡¯s filial scene. ¡°I have a patient here who needs a heart transnt. Can you see if you can find a suitable donor?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me! As long as they can provide useful information, I¡¯m willing to give them extra encouragement in my own name. ¡± In fact, Zheng Zeyi himself was not very confident about the heart donor. This had nothing to do with wealth or power. It was about finding a suitable donor among hundreds of millions of people. ¡­¡­ Time passed day by day. Xiao Liu, Qiao si, and Zheng ze stayed by Xiao Liu¡¯s daughter¡¯s side the entire day, anxiously waiting for the donor. No matter how much Zheng Zeyi urged, there was still no news from the Red Cross Association. Ding! The phone rang with a short message notification. Zheng Zeyi frowned and opened it. Suddenly, his pupils shrank. ¡°Sisi, the family asked us to go back. Can wee back in the afternoon?¡± ¡°Sure, no problem.¡± Qiao si did not suspect anything. She packed her things and walked out with Zheng ze. Who knew that the guy would stay in the car? Looking at Zheng Zeyi suspiciously, Qiao si asked. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t you say you were going home?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already received the news about the donor ...¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that good? We have to quickly tell this good news to little Liu! What are you hiding here for?¡± Hearing this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face showed a touch of embarrassment. He thought for a while and slowly said. ¡°This donor can¡¯t offer a heart yet, because ...¡± ¡°He¡¯s not dead yet. ¡± This time, even Joes was shocked. ording to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s investigation, the donor had congenital kidney failure. Due to the long wait for the donor, his condition had deteriorated to an uncontroble stage. Coincidentally, in the previous test, he was found to be anpatible match for Xiao Liu¡¯s son! At this moment, Joes¡¯s eyes revealed aplicated expression as she mumbled. ¡°This matter doesn¡¯t seem easy to resolve ...¡± That¡¯s right, my son has been waiting for a kidney, but it hasn¡¯te. Why should I contribute my heart to save an irrelevant person? It was a little too unfair to that mother! ¡°I think so too,¡± Zheng ze paused for a moment before he continued,¡±¡±That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t tell Xiao Liu about this. I was afraid that she would do something extreme if she found out.¡± ¡°After all, no one is willing to sacrifice their children.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we go and persuade that family first?¡± Chapter 635

He did what he said! The two of them didn¡¯t waste any time and arrived at the hospital where the donor was. ording to the information, the donor¡¯s name was Xiao Yong, and the mother¡¯s name was Li Juan. They were staying in Ward 252. As soon as he entered the hospital, a sharp scream came from the inside. ¡°All of you, get lost! My son is not dead yet! All of you are here to think about his body!¡± ¡°Did I say I¡¯m going to donate? Did he say it?¡± ¡°Bang Bang¡±, the two adults were kicked out and left the ce in embarrassment. After a while, a fierce-looking middle-aged woman appeared in the ward. She had her hands on her hips and she looked aggressive. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Zheng Zeyi and the other man in the corner and asked in an unfriendly tone. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re here to discuss about donating?¡± At this point, Joes did not dare to say anything and just stood there in a daze. Just as the middle-aged woman was closing in on him, Zheng Zeyi suddenly stood up. ¡°We¡¯re here to visit little Yong on behalf of the Red Cross Society. We want to see how he¡¯s recovering and if he¡¯s found a new kidney. ¡± As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged woman¡¯s fierce expression instantly became kind. Her eyes shed with an unprecedentedplexity and she sighed slightly. ¡°You guys cane in, but little Yong shouldn¡¯t be able to hold on much longer ...¡± He said. ¡°Lower your voice when you speak.¡± At this moment, little Yong was lying on the hospital bed. His face was pale, his breathing was weak, and his eyes were blurry. It was as if he was going to leave this world the next second. When he saw joesse and Lin Sanjiu enter, Xiao Yong tried his best to sit up and force a smile. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, you¡¯re here to see Xiao Yong!¡± ¡°Little Yong is being treated. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Xiao Yong was as sensible as Xiao Liu¡¯s son, and Li Juan couldn¡¯t help but hide in the dark and wipe her tears. ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re here to see little Yong.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so obedient, Xiao Yong. Auntie took good care of you, didn¡¯t she?¡± Looking at this kind of child, Joes¡¯s heart melted. She bent her body slightly and moved in front of Xiao Yong, gently stroking the hair on his forehead. It was just a casual remark, but little Yong was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, his breathing a little rapid as he shouted. ¡°My mother just wanted to protect me. She didn¡¯t have any ill intentions.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to donate my organs, but I still need some time to convince my mother!¡± Good Lord, little Yong actually thought they were here to question Li Juan! Joes did not know whether tough or cry, but she consoled him in a heart-wrenching and funny way. ¡°We didn¡¯t say anything like that. Why are you thinking about that?¡± ¡°Because...Because ...¡± Xiaoyong tugged at the nket and looked at Joes weakly. The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.¡±Because a lot of people have beening recently ...¡± ¡°They¡¯re all asking if you want to donate your organs, right?¡± Narrowing her eyes, Joes chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t force you. We¡¯re just here to see you today. ¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not willing, no one will force you.¡± For the rest of the time, Qiao si si and Zheng ze kept ying with Xiao Yong. Xiao Yong smiled for the first time in a long time. The happy day was over, and little Yongy on the bed, a little tired. He had a smile on his face, and his expression was so happy and peaceful. ¡°Big sister, thank you. I haven¡¯t been this happy in a long time.¡± ¡°I have a request, but I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re willing to agree to it ...¡± Upon hearing this, Joes agreed without even blinking. ¡°No problem. As long as it¡¯s something I can do, I¡¯ll agree to it.¡± ¡°I hope that you can take over all my donations after I die so that my organs can be used on those who really need them.¡± Everyone present was shocked. No one expected little Yong to say something like that! ¡°Little Yong, are you crazy? Mom doesn¡¯t agree! Mom doesn¡¯t agree!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, little Yong. This is no small matter. How can you make such a hasty decision?¡± Although little Yong¡¯s words made Joes very happy, she could not take advantage of him. Looking at his emotional mother, Xiao Yong shook his head and said solemnly,¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not being impulsive. This is a decision I¡¯ve made after careful consideration.¡± ¡°I was also thinking about what I did wrong. Why must I use my name to let others live?¡± ¡°But, I experienced unprecedented happiness today, and I feel that the outside world is very beautiful, so I hope that someone can experience the outside world like me ...¡± ¡°Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister, promise me, okay?¡± At this moment, everyone present was silent. They really couldn¡¯t refuse, refuse the request of this five-year-old boy. ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± Joes spoke in a serious tone. ¡°Di di di di di!¡± Following Joes¡¯s promise, Xiao Yong shut his eyespletely. What happened next was so natural. Xiao Yong¡¯s heart was donated to Liu¡¯s son. Liu¡¯s heart was in her throat as she looked at the bright red ¡°operation in progress¡±. She kept pacing in circles outside the operating room to ease her anxiety. ¡°Liu, you can sit here with me and wait!¡± ¡°Your son will definitely be fine! Zeyi got the best surgeon in the hospital to perform the surgery. ¡± ¡°Mm, I know that President Zheng has helped me a lot, but ... I really can¡¯t stop worrying!¡± At this point, Liu¡¯s voice sounded like she was about to cry. It seemed like she couldn¡¯t calm down so easily. ¡°Where are the family members? The operation was very sessful!¡± ¡± Xiao Liu shrieked in excitement, hugging Joes and spinning in circles. Finally, she took out a recording pen from somewhere and stuffed it into Joes ¡®arms. ¡°There¡¯s something your husband wants in here. It¡¯s my gift of thanks!¡± After she finished speaking, Xiao Liu rushed in without looking back while Joes and Zheng Zeyi stood there and looked at her helplessly. Suddenly, Zheng Zeyi spoke with a serious tone. ¡°Next, we should go find Ma Shan.¡± ¡°Yes, some things have to be made clear ...¡± ¡­¡­ A car slowly drove into a dpidated alley. A middle-aged woman was washing clothes outside. This person was Ma Shan. After pushing the door open, Qiao si si and Zheng ze walked straight to Ma Shan. Ma Shan¡¯s tone was unfriendly when she saw the person. ¡°What are you guys doing here again? If I say it, I won¡¯t say it!¡± Zheng ze smirked as he threw the documents and recording pen in front of Ma Shan. ¡°We already have the evidence. We don¡¯t need you anymore.¡± ¡°I¡¯m only here to tell you. ¡± Ma Shan received the evidence with trembling hands and read through it. Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Ma Shan tells the truth

Initially, when Ma Shan heard Zheng ze say that he had evidence in his hands, she thought that he was just bluffing to scare her. However, when Zheng Zeyi took out the stack of evidence and ced it in front of Ma Shan, she was indeed flustered. ¡°How could this be? How could that be possible?¡± Ma Shan¡¯s eyes widened as she mumbled to herself. She held the evidence in her hand, but her body seemed to have stiffened and remained motionless. However, it was clearly written on the paper in ck and white. Even if Ma Shan did not want to admit it, she had no choice. Xiao Liu¡¯s confession was clearly recorded on the paper. Xiao Liu described all of Ma Shan¡¯s crimes in detail. Now, even if Ma Shan wanted to deny it, she would have no way. Ma Shan quickly browsed through the documents, and the more she read, the more her breathing became rapid. In the end, she was so panicked that she almost couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°How dare you treat me like this ...¡± Ma Shan spat out these words fiercely. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she nced at Zheng Zeyi from the corner of her eyes. Ma Shan thought that her n was wless and wless, but she did not expect that this matter would still be exposed in the end. It had been so many years, but Zheng Zeyi was still able to find out so many things. It meant that Zheng Zeyi had never forgotten about this matter. It was just that the time had note yet, so he was quietly waiting. Zheng ze had his hands in his pockets as he looked at Ma Shan calmly to see what other tricks she had up her sleeve. At this moment, Ma Shan was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on. He was panicking and flustered. Ma Shan clenched the document tightly with both hands. This nightmarish moment passed by so slowly and she was constantly suffering. Ma Shan knew what this document meant. Once Zheng ze handed it over to old master Zheng, Ma Shan would be kicked out of the house forever. She would never be able to gain any favor from the Zheng family. Initially, Zheng lihan still had some feelings for Ma Shan. However, even if Zheng lihan wanted to protect Ma Shan, he would only be willing but unable to. With a hiss, Ma Shan tore all the documents in her hands to pieces, and the White fragments danced in the air. ¡°Hahahaha ...¡± Ma Shan¡¯s maniacalughter filled the office with a strange atmosphere. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you have evidence? And now? With all the evidence gone, I¡¯ll see how you¡¯re going toin about me to the old master. Let me tell you, Zheng Zeyi, if you want to use despicable tricks to bring me down, don¡¯t even think about it. Don¡¯t be smug for too long. One day, my son Zeyu and I will be in the limelight of the Zheng family. By then, the entire Zheng¡¯s group will be taken over by Zeyu. You can cry then. ¡± Ma Shan waved her arms wildly, revealing her ferocious appearance. Zheng Zeyi merely leaned against the side of the office desk with a faint smile on his lips. He looked at Ma Shan quietly and suddenly felt that this old woman was both pitiful andughable. After all, Ma Shan was just an ignorant and vulgar woman who wanted to use her little tricks to deceive everyone and then split the Zheng family¡¯s assets. Ma Shan was too naive to think that she could erase the evidence by making a scene like this. The entire office had turned into a scene of chaos. Zheng ze did not show any signs of panic or anger when he saw Ma Shan tearing the evidence apart. In his ce, Zheng Zeyi had an extraordinary calmness about him as he looked at Ma Shan coldly. Zheng Zeyi took out a huge stack of documents and waved it in front of Ma Shan.¡±Go on, continue tearing.¡± I have a lot here, you can tear as much as you want, I can get it for you. However, no matter how much you tear, it¡¯s useless because they¡¯re all copies. The original is with me. ¡± With that, Zheng ze threw all the copies in front of Ma Shan with great force. With a ¡°Wanwan ...¡± Sound, the photocopied papers fell to the ground one by one. They carried Ma Shan¡¯sst hope and were heartlessly thrown to the ground. Ma Shany limply on the ground. Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions had almost cut off all of Ma Shan¡¯s routes, forcing Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu into a dead end. Even at this moment, Ma Shan still refused to recognize the truth and stubbornly resisted, charging towards Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Bring it here ... How could you treat your mother like this? aren¡¯t you afraid of retribution?¡± Ma Shan randomly snatched the USB drive from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands, but Zheng Zeyi pushed her to the ground heartlessly. ¡°Mother? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous to say that? You¡¯re Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother, and you¡¯ve been trying so hard to give him everything that I have. You¡¯re not my mother. You¡¯re the one who killed her. You¡¯re a murderer. ¡± Zheng Zeyi questioned Ma Shan. His usually calm eyes had turned unusually fierce, like a beast that was ready to attack at any moment. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother was his eternal weakness. Whenever this word was mentioned, his eyes could not help but fill with tears. ¡°Do you know what will happen to the police when the evidence is brought to them? I¡¯m afraid your dear son will have to watch you live in prison for the rest of your life. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s funny? you mother and son, Zheng Zeyu has just been released from prison, and you want to go in again. ¡± Zheng Zeyi held the USB drive in his hand delightedly, feeling the thrill of revenge. ¡°No, no...¡± Upon hearing that she was going to jail, Ma Shan¡¯s spirit immediately withered. She knelt in front of Zheng Zeyi and begged with tears in her eyes. ¡°Zeyi, I¡¯m begging you, please don¡¯t send me to prison. I don¡¯t want to go to that damn ce. If I go to prison, what will happen to my Zeyu? As long as you don¡¯t send me to jail, I¡¯ll promise you anything. I¡¯ll do anything you want. ¡± ¡°Hmph ... If you knew this would happen, you wouldn¡¯t have done it.¡± Zheng Zeyi could not help but sneer. Even now, Ma Shan was not truly repenting. She had no choice but to agree because she was afraid. ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to send you to prison, that¡¯s fine as long as you agree to one condition of mine. Tell me everything about my mother¡¯s murder, and you¡¯re not allowed to leave out anything. If you lie, I¡¯ll let you go. ¡± ¡°This ... Alright.¡± Ma Shan hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing. Zheng Zeyi had already turned on the recording button. ¡°Your mother¡¯s death that year was all caused by me. I want to be thedy of the Zheng family and rece your mother¡¯s position. So, I had someone drug your mother¡¯s food and her car, causing her to die in a car ident. After that, I bribed the insurancepany and lied to the public that the car ident was an ident. ¡± Chapter 637

Ma Shan¡¯s voice was bitter and mncholic when she told him everything. There was no trace of remorse. If they didn¡¯t know, they might even think that she wasn¡¯t the murderer but the victim. Zheng Zeyi turned around and pursed his lips. He tried his best to suppress the sorrow and pain in his heart. He could not show any weakness in front of the bad guys, or they would take advantage of him. After Ma Shan finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi pressed the end button and turned around to leave. Seeing Zheng Zeyi leave, Ma Shan immediately crawled and chased after him.¡±Zheng Zeyi, you promised me that you would let me go if I told you the truth. You have to keep your word, you can¡¯t send me to prison, you said it. ¡± Zheng Zeyi ignored Ma Shan¡¯s call and kept moving forward. It was only when Zheng Zeyi was the only one left that he could finally express his true feelings. Tears gushed out of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes like spring water, and his eyes were instantly wet. Finally, Zheng Zeyi found out how his mother had passed away. The mystery that had been solved for so many years could finally be solved. The grievances that had been umted for so many years had reached their peak at this moment. His mother¡¯s murderer was right in front of him, but Zheng Zeyi had to pretend that nothing had happened and listen to her recount how his mother had been killed. This was worse than killing him. ¡°Tsk ...¡± Zheng ze tried his best to restrain himself, but he still could not help but sob softly. He lowered his head and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. There was not much time left for Zheng Zeyi. He did not have anything more important to do, so he gathered his emotions and went back. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± When joesse saw that Zheng Zeyi had returned, she immediately went up to him. However, the sensitive joesse immediately sensed that something was wrong with Zheng Zeyi today. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Zeyi, your eyes are a little red. What happened? can you tell me?¡± Zheng Zeyi took a deep breath to calm himself down.¡±Sisi, there¡¯s something I want to tell you. It¡¯s about my mother.¡± Zheng Zeyi rarely talked about his mother in front of others. Seeing how serious he was, Qiao si knew that this matter must be very special. Then, Zheng ze turned on his phone and Ma Shan¡¯s voice slowly yed.¡±I was the one who did the whole thing ...¡± ¡°Ah ... How did this happen?¡± After listening to the entire recording, joesse¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock. Qiao si si only knew that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother¡¯s death was a huge shock to him, but she did not expect the truth to be like this. Even though Zheng Zeyi was just sitting there in a daze and did not say a word, Qiao si knew that no one could bear the pain in his heart. ¡°Zeyi ...¡± Joesse held Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand and caressed his shoulder.¡±I¡¯ll support you in whatever you want to do next.¡± Go, do everything you want. This is for yourself, and also for your deceased mother. ¡± ¡°Sisi ...¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice trembled. He was touched by Qiao sisi¡¯s unhesitating support. Zheng Zeyi stared at joesse¡¯s bulging stomach and ced her hand on his lips, giving it a light kiss. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already nned everything out. I will definitely bring the murderer to justice. After that, we will get married. We¡¯re officially a family of three, and our baby will grow up in the most blissful and warm environment. ¡± Qiao si si looked at Zheng Zeyi and did not say a word. She lowered her head and smiled happily. Not long after, Zheng Zeyi got someone to send the recording to the police station. As expected, Ma Shan was arrested very quickly. Although Zheng Zeyi had promised Ma Shan to spare her life, how could he tolerate a murderer who killed her mother? even if the murderer knelt in front of Zheng Zeyi, he had no right to negotiate. ¡°Ding ding ding ding ...¡± The loud ringtone of the phone rang, and the phone vibrated on the table. Zheng ze had already expected a call, so he picked up his phone unhurriedly. ¡°Hello, dad, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked as he pretended to not know anything. On the other end of the phone was Zheng lihan¡¯s stern question.¡±Put down all your work ande home immediately. I have something to ask you.¡± When she returned to the Zheng family, Zheng lihan and the old man were already waiting there. Zheng lihan lowered his head, feeling angry and mncholic. ¡°I¡¯m asking you if you were the one who called the police and arrested Ma Shan. How could you do that? She¡¯s your mother after all. Even though she¡¯s your stepmother, after so many years, you still have feelings for her. Aren¡¯t you going too far by doing this? No matter what, she¡¯s Zeyu¡¯s mother. How are you going to exin this to your brother? Immediately send someone to the police station to drop the charges. ¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s first reaction was not to question Zheng Zeyi¡¯s reason for doing such a thing. Instead, he med Zheng Zeyi without even asking. This made Zheng Zeyi feel very disappointed. ¡°Mother¡± and ¡°brother¡±. Zheng Zeyi felt that these two words were ridiculous and ridiculous. If Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu had not appeared in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s life, his life would have been even better and happier. Ma Shan¡¯s appearance had caused Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mother to leave, and Zheng Zeyu¡¯s existence had taken away Zheng lihan¡¯s love for Zheng Zeyi. From then on, Zheng Zeyi became an extra person in the Zheng family. If it wasn¡¯t for old master Zheng protecting his grandson, Zheng Zeyi would probably have to live under Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu¡¯s constant pressure. To Zheng Zeyi, this ¡°mother¡± and ¡°brother¡± did not bring him any happiness. Instead, they made a mess of his life. Facing Zheng lihan¡¯s questioning, Zheng Zeyi was not afraid at all. Instead, he asked,¡±if you didn¡¯t cheat on Ma Shan and she didn¡¯t want to be the mistress, would my mother have passed away?¡± ¡°This, what does this have to do with your mother ... Why are you bringing up the past again? it¡¯s been so long.¡± Zheng lihan turned his head away, and his voice was much lower. It was obvious that he was feeling guilty andcked confidence. ¡°It was Ma Shan who killed my mother. She nned the entire incident and even bribed the professionals to pretend that it was an ident.¡± ¡°What?¡± Zheng lihan and old master Zheng asked in unison. They were very speechless about this matter. ¡°No way, that¡¯s not possible, is it?¡± Even now, Zheng lihan was still unwilling to believe that the woman he loved had killed his first wife. ¡°Aiya, this is really a sin ...¡± Old master Zheng frowned and knocked on the chair¡¯s handle weakly.

Zheng Zeyi was silent. He looked at Zheng lihan, who was ring at him angrily, but he did not feel any disappointment. However, his eyes were full of sadness, and he still looked at her pitifully. Zheng Zeyi naturally knew that it would be difficult to defend himself in this situation. If he did not produce any evidence, he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Moreover, it was useless for him to say anything about Zheng lihan¡¯s favoritism. Even if his grandfather believed him, he could not convince the public. ¡°Dad, do you really think that Ma Shan loves you?¡± Even though he knew that Zheng lihan would not believe him, he could not change the fact that the man in front of him was his Zheng lihan. ¡°Nonsense! Are you blind? Are you ck-hearted?¡± Zheng lihan, who was already in a rage, mmed the table and suddenly stood up. He red at his son, who he had been worried about for many years. ¡°Ze! Grandpa knows that you¡¯ve been wronged, but no matter what, Zheng Zeyu is still your brother. Is there any other misunderstanding?¡± The old man was getting on in years and could only hope for a harmonious family without any more trouble. Besides, Zheng Zeyu was his brother no matter what, so he would turn a blind eye to many things and just get by. ¡°Misunderstanding? I hope you¡¯ll still think that this is a misunderstanding after listening to this recording. ¡± A hint of disappointment shed in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. Although his grandfather had always protected him on the surface, in reality, he had also tolerated many things. In fact, the main reason why the old man had mentioned it again was because Zheng Zeyu was involved in the middle of the incident. Zheng ze took out his phone. This evidence was the recording that would make Ma Shan charge. Zheng lihan did not intend to pay any attention to Zheng Zeyi, but he was stunned when his phone rang. Ma Shan, who had always been gentle and virtuous in his heart, sounded so proud. What surprised him even more was the content of her words. He could understand every word, but when they werebined, it made him suspicious. There was more than one recording in the phone. The first was the evidence that Ma Shan had framed her mother back then, and the second was the recording of Ma Shan and Zheng Zeyu at the police station after they were charged. Zheng Zeyi felt bad when he saw the two elders ¡®shocked expressions. He turned around and left. Zheng Zeyi casually lit a cigarette. The memories of his return shed through his mind. He could still vaguely remember the innocent Zheng Zeyu chasing after him. In the main hall, Zheng lihan, the head of the Zheng family, was stunned after listening to the first recording. The perfect goddess in his heart had actually hurt his wife. Not only that, but the recording also clearly showed that the most important reason why he had taken a fancy to her was the Zheng family¡¯s wealth. After listening to the recording, the old man at the side regretted his actions. Why didn¡¯t he persist a little more? He had actually allowed this cruel woman to live in peace for so many years. ¡°This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible ...¡± Even after listening to the first recording, Zheng lihan was still unwilling to believe that the Bai yueguang in his perfect wife¡¯s heart was such an unbearable person. What he couldn¡¯t ept even more was that because of this woman, he and his son had be strangers, and they had gone to two extremes. ¡°Why is it impossible? I told you that that woman was an evil person, but what about you? Not only did you turn a deaf ear to my words, but you also forced your first wife to leave and even rejoiced. It¡¯s a pity that my grandson didn¡¯t have his mother¡¯spany since he was young. How could I have given birth to such a disgraceful thing like you?¡± The old man was so angry that he swung his walking stick at Zheng lihan¡¯s body and mumbled, ¡°I¡¯ll beat you to death, you unfilial son. ¡± The house was in chaos, but it was quiet outside. It was even drizzling, perhaps to get away from the noise. The next day, the Public Security Bureau was not open yet. A man stood at the door to prove that the man was not anyone else. It was Zheng lihan, who had listened to the recordingst night. Even now, he was still trying to avoid the recording he heard yesterday and the fact that the gentle person in his heart had be a bloodthirsty monster. Zheng lihan only found out about Ma Shan¡¯s Prison Information when the police station opened. At this moment, he still did not believe Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words and the evidence he had brought out. He wanted to meet the person he loved personally. However, this trip had not only changed his impression of Ma Shan, but he also regretted his neglect of Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Shanshan!¡± Zheng lihan, who had a stomach full of words to say, had mixed feelings when he saw Ma Shan in person. ¡°Han, save me.¡± Zheng lihan had no idea that the crazy woman in front of him was the woman he loved the most. At this moment, she was no longer as noble and elegant as she was when she was a richdy. Her ck hair had turned white. In addition, she had been humiliated and bullied before she came out. Her hair was in a mess, and bruises could be seen at the corner of her eyes and mouth. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Perhaps it was out of habit after so many years, the words that should have been asked became concern and worry. ¡°Me? Do you think I¡¯m good? I¡¯m already in this state and you¡¯re still asking me if I¡¯m okay?¡± Ma Shan widened her eyes in surprise. Did she look fine? ¡°Did you hear something?¡± Ma Shan calmed down, and a sense of anticipation rose in her heart. ¡°Did you really kill her?¡± To Zheng lihan, this was not something that was difficult to say. However, he did not believe that the woman in front of him, who was so innocent that she would even be afraid of an ant, would do such a vicious thing. ¡°Ha, so what if I am?¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for you toe out.¡± Zheng lihan¡¯s hands clutched the bar counter tightly and his face was full of sincerity. ¡°Haha ... Wait for me toe out? ¡°All these years, I, Ma Shan, have taken good care of you. I¡¯ve gone along with everything you¡¯ve done. But you? Have you ever thought about us? Your heart is only in your painting, have you ever cared about our lives?¡± Ma Shan had already given up on herself because she knew that she could not count on Zheng lihan. From the very beginning, he had already said that everything in the Zheng family did not belong to him. Everything belonged to the old master and the old master could give it to whoever he wanted. If it was not for Zheng lihan¡¯s disregard, she would not have cared so much about her son. ¡°I ... How did you be like this?¡± In the end, Zheng lihan mistakenly looked at the woman in front of him, who was a stranger to xiyou. He only asked her when she had quieted down. ¡°I look like this? Haven¡¯t I always been like this? You don¡¯t even know what the person you like is like? How can someone like you deserve love?¡± Ma Shan sneered coldly and looked at Zheng lihan with contempt. Sheughed as she left. Chapter 639

¡°What do you mean by that? Can you exin clearly?¡± Hearing this, a beautiful figure suddenly shed across Zheng lihan¡¯s mind. He looked at Ma Shan¡¯s back and panicked, knowing that he had disappeared from his sight. Zheng lihan stood up slowly with the help of the bar counter. However, his legs trembled and he fell to the cold ground. Two lines of tears flowed down his face. He seemed to have vaguely understood something, but he did not dare to reveal the truth. In the end, he could only leave the prison with trembling hands. Zheng Zeyi, who had left the Zheng family, did not go anywhere else. Instead, he had sneaked into joesse¡¯s room in the middle of the night. The moment he opened the door, Joes was frightened by the ck shadow at the door and hurriedly weed him in. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? why don¡¯t you use an umbre on a rainy day?¡± Joes grumbled as she picked up her towel to help him wipe the water off his body. The man¡¯s heart softened as he looked at the woman who was busy helping him. He pulled her into his arms. ¡°Just let me hug you for a while.¡± The man¡¯s hot breath had some cool moisture in it as it filled joesse¡¯s ears. Even though she was suspicious, she still cooperated. The next day, Jossi shook her head in amusement as she looked at the man who was lying on the bed as peaceful as a child. She didn¡¯t know why this person had been holding her tightly the day before. Even when they were sleeping, he had hugged her tightly and looked very insecure. Zheng Zeyi was jolted awake by Qiao sisi¡¯s coquettishughter. He looked at the woman who was smiling exceptionally brightly and reached out to pinch her delicate nose. ¡°Alright, hurry up and get up. Stopzing around in bed. Let¡¯s go and see little Liu.¡± Joes pped away his evil hand and ran to a safe area with a smile. As the two of them had gotten up veryte in the morning, they had to have breakfast outside. After passing by a fruit store, they even had a very festive fruit basket. In the hospital, Liu was feeding fruit to the child. Zheng Zeyi, Joes, and Xiao Liu were instantly flustered and at a loss as they looked at the big and small bags in their hands. ¡°Aiya, why did you bring so many things when you¡¯re already here?¡± Liu kept his head down as he kept rubbing the sweat on his palms. ¡°We¡¯re not giving these things to you, but to your little cutie. ¡± Joes reached out and patted the child¡¯s head gently. She then put down the fruit basket and nutritional supplements in her hands. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ma Shan has been captured. Thank you for your help. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not have much of an opinion about Xiao Liu, even if he only pointed out the real culprit behind the scenes many yearster. Xiao Liu looked at Zheng ze¡¯s tear-filled eyes in disbelief. Only God knew that he had been living in guilt all these years. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. You didn¡¯t do anything wrong back then. Even if you stood up for her, you might have been framed by Ma Shan. So, don¡¯t feel guilty about what happened in the past.¡± Joes knew what Xiao Liu was thinking and patted her tofort her.¡±Alright, hurry up and take care of the child. He just told me that he wanted to pee.¡± ¡°Ah? Was it? Then wait a moment, why did this child choose this time?¡± When Xiao Liu heard this, he immediately ran to the child¡¯s side, but he didn¡¯t notice that the two of them smiled at each other and slowly left the ward. ¡°Phew, this matter has finallye to an end. I¡¯m so happy, finally no one wants to harm you. ¡± Thinking about the shocking events that had happened a while ago, Joes could not help but shiver. ¡°Why are you thinking so much? Let the past stay in the past, a new beginning has just arrived. ¡± Zheng Zeyi pulled Qiao sijiang into his arms and kissed him on the forehead as he looked at the woman who was smiling brightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to a ce. ¡± ¡°Eh? What ce is it?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when you get there. ¡± The man chuckled mysteriously and opened the door to the passenger¡¯s seat. After making sure that the girl was ready, he started the car. ¡°You¡¯re bringing me to the wedding dress shop?¡± The girl looked at the wedding dress hesitantly. ¡°It¡¯s not as simple as it sounds. I¡¯m bringing you here to take wedding photos and pick out the wedding dress we¡¯re going to use for our wedding.¡± The man shook his head. He put one hand around the woman¡¯s waist and supported her with the other, afraid that she would get into an ident. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I¡¯m pregnant and I¡¯ll definitely look fat in wedding photos.¡± Joes immediately shook her head and looked at her stomach with pity. Which girl would not want to look like a beautiful fairy in a wedding dress? ¡°Why? are you afraid that you¡¯re not good enough for me?¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head with a smile. It seemed that even the most outstandingdy would be so unconfident in front of the person she liked, just like him. ¡°How could this be? In this world, other than me, no other woman is worthy of you. ¡± Joes raised her head arrogantly. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you want to film it? Could it be that you want me to take wedding photos with other women?¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at the girl in front of him provocatively and smugly. ¡°To be honest, with my looks, I¡¯ll be hit on by a lot of young girls just by standing on the street, not to mention taking wedding photos for free.¡± ¡°You brat, you¡¯re dreaming. In this lifetime, you can only take wedding photos with me. Don¡¯t even think about taking photos with anyone else.¡± With a dark expression, Qiao si twisted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ear and pulled him into the wedding dress shop, then red at him. The service staff in the shop quickly came up to them. They had been informed that there would be an important guest. ¡°Take out all the mostfortable, loose, and beautiful clothes in your store. Oh, and make sure they¡¯re new. No one has worn them before.¡± After helping Joes to the sofa and making sure that there were no outsiders, he turned around and told the service staff his request. ¡°Alright, Sir. We¡¯ve already prepared these for you. Why don¡¯t you take a look at the theme of our shoot first?¡± The service staff heaved a sigh of relief and nervously ced the themed photo album in front of joesse. Judging from the man¡¯s nervousness, he probably knew that no matter what happened, joesse would be the one in charge. ¡°Okay, thank you, miss. We¡¯ll keep an eye on it first. We¡¯ll contact youter. You can go and do your work.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Wow, these photos are so beautiful. I wonder what they look like in the photos we took.¡± Looking at the beautiful photos in the photo album, Joes covered her mouth in shock. ¡°We¡¯ll definitely look better than them. I¡¯m very confident in my own looks.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you despising me?¡± ¡°How can I! No matter how beautiful I am, I can¡¯t be more beautiful than my wife. ¡± Chapter 640

Qiao si squinted her eyes as she sized up Zheng Zeyi. She felt that Zheng Zeyi was a little different from usual. He had be a glib talker. ¡°Tell me, where did you learn all these sweet words from?¡± Although girls liked to hear sweet words, it was still scary enough to hear such sweet words from such a ck-bellied and serious person. ¡°I ...¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mouth twitched. How could he say that he had learned these words from some romance novels a few days ago? ¡°Damn it, what kind of bullsh * t novels are these? Not only was his woman unhappy, but she also looked nervous, which made him feel that he was about to cheat on her. ¡°Haha, why are you so easily teased? I was just teasing you.¡± Looking at Zheng ze¡¯s pale face, joesseughed and continued to nitpick on the photo album in her hands. She curled her red lips in a corner where Zheng ze could not see, and her face was filled with a blissful smile. As he looked at the serious-looking woman in his arms, how could Zheng Zeyi not know that he had just been ying a prank? Thinking of his wife¡¯s bad taste, Zheng Zeyi shook his head with a smile and continued to apany her to choose. In fact, he had already nned to take his wedding photos. He had prepared the clothes long ago and was just waiting for the little fish, Jossi, to take the bait. In the end, Joes chose three themes: It was a retro style, a traditional Chinese style, and a couple crossing the line. Actually, Qiao si SI¡¯s favoritest style was to be formal. The thought of Zheng ze¡¯s shy look in a wedding dress made her heart flutter. Zheng ze did not think much of it at first, until he saw the couple¡¯s opposite of each other. His face darkened as he looked at joesse¡¯s slightly curved red lips. In the end, he could only helplesslyply. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s your fault for pinching the person I love the most.¡± Zheng Zeyi howled at the sky, but when he looked at joesse again, his eyes were filled with love. ¡°Haha, you agree?¡± Joesse looked at Zheng Zeyi in surprise. ¡°What else can we do? My wife has already said so, so I can only do this. ¡± ¡°Well, you seem to be so reluctant. Why don¡¯t we change the subject?¡± Joes flipped through the photo album with ack of interest. Speaking of which, if a man and a woman were to cross-dress, it would be embarrassing if others saw it. Thinking of this, she decided to give up on this topic, but who knew that the one-pound man began to be persistent. ¡°How could this be? I think this theme is quite good. It¡¯ll highlight our status and rtionship. Don¡¯t you think so, wife?¡± ¡°Are you sure you want to shoot?¡± In the end, Joes did not know whether tough or cry and had no choice but to ask again. ¡°Of course, why would I reject my wife¡¯s request?¡± Zheng ze smiled and pulled Qiao sisi into his arms. He nted a kiss on his face and looked at the girl in his arms who was extremely shy. He felt an itch in his throat and could only fake a cough to cover it up. ¡°Forget it. Since you insist on taking a photo, we can just keep this photo album away and only the two of us can see it.¡± Joes nodded and finally chose another topic. The theme of the first lesson they chose during the shooting was cross-dressing. While joesse was putting on her dashing vest, the image of Zheng ze in his wedding gown appeared in her mind, and she quickened her pace in excitement. Qiao si burst outughing at the bashful Zheng Zeyi. Initially, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face was dark, but when he saw his wife smiling so happily and happily, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The photographer, who was in charge of taking photos for them, also captured this perfect moment very quickly. There was no pretense in this photo. It was 100% natural. The eyes of the two people in the photo reflected each other. It felt like they had seen each other for 10000 years. In the end, the photographer had to use this photo as the cover. The next few photos were taken under the photographer¡¯s guidance. Qiao si would lift Zheng Zeyi¡¯s chin at times and hug the shy Zheng Zeyi with a smirk at other times. One of the photos even showed her giving Zheng Zeyi a Princess hug with the help of tools. Looking at the photos, Joesughed out loud in excitement. In the end, she had no choice but to hold her stomach and squat on the ground. It was as if he had been possessed and couldn¡¯t stop. Looking at the girl¡¯s bright smile, the male lead could only smile indulgently. The photographer looked at their rtionship with envy, and a sentence appeared in his mind: I¡¯mughing at you. After a while, theughing crowd broke out in a cold sweat because of the female lead. At this time, he suddenly sat on the ground, one hand holding his stomach and the other supporting himself on the ground. ¡°My stomach ...¡± Joes suddenly frowned. When she wasughing, her stomach throbbed in pain and cold sweat trickled down her face. ¡°Wife, are you alright? I¡¯ll take you to the hospital. ¡± Zheng Zeyi carried joesse in his arms and rushed to the door in a panic. He did not even have time to change out of his wedding dress. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Quickly put me down. I might haveughed too much just now, so my stomach is hurting. Please put me down. ¡± Joes felt helpless. Looking at this man who was worried for her, her heart was filled with happiness. ¡°Are you really fine?¡± Zheng ze looked at the woman¡¯s peaceful expression in his arms and could not help but feel suspicious. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Put me down. ¡± When she heard theughter around her, Joes shyly buried her head in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arms. ¡°You little girl, you almost scared me to death.¡± After confirming that Joes was really fine, he finally let go of her. However, the wedding photoshoot did not seed because Zheng Zeyi had taken her to the hospital for a checkup because he had a stomach ache. ¡°Very good. Your child is fine. You can go home without worry.¡± After the doctor confirmed that there were no problems with Qiao sisi¡¯s ultrasound report, he handed it to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Doctor, Are you sure? Did he have a stomach ache before?¡± However, Zheng Zeyi was still worried. He grabbed the doctor¡¯s sleeve and asked him questions. ¡°Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? If I say there¡¯s no problem, then there¡¯s no problem. Both your mother and child are safe. ¡± The doctor rolled his eyes speechlessly. Is he really here to see the doctor and not to show off their love? ¡°Then why does my wife¡¯s stomach hurt?¡± Zheng Zeyi was still unwilling to let it go. Thinking of the scene just now, he broke out in a cold sweat again. ¡°Big brother, even if youugh, your stomach will hurt. How about this, I won¡¯t take it with you anymore, I¡¯ll prescribe you some medicine to protect your fetus. ¡± In the end, the doctor really had no other choice but to prescribe some medicine for Zheng Zeyi and let him leave with Joes. However, the female protagonist didn¡¯t know that it was the medicine prescribed by the doctor that saved his child. Chapter 641

Early in the morning, Zheng Zeyi arrived at the office in aposed manner. He lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand with a frown. Today¡¯s meeting was very important, and it couldst for three to four hours. He rubbed his temples. The atmosphere was as heavy as ever. Even from a distance of three to four meters, they could hardly sense that the president was in a bad mood today. When their President walked into the conference room, the people working there heaved sighs of relief. ¡°President, why are you so cold today? Could it be that you quarreled with Madam?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Yesterday, the two of them were so lovey-dovey that they wanted the whole world to know. It¡¯s impossible. ¡± At this point, the few of them nodded in agreement. A woman walked over from the distance. ¡°Da da da.¡± The sound of high heels clicking on the ground was getting closer and closer. They didn¡¯t need to hear to know who it was. The staff members all held their foreheads. The nightmare began again. He saw Xu Xin holding a box. The brand on the box was a new dessert brand that had recently emerged. It seemed that she had spent a lot of money on it. She twisted her slender waist, looking frivolous and fearless. He didn¡¯t forget to click his tongue when he walked up to the staff. The unpleasant smell of perfume made the staff member want to vomit, but he couldn ¡®t. ¡°Miss Xu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± the Secretary asked with a smile. ¡°Where¡¯s Zheng Zeyi? Call him out, I have something to give him. ¡± ¡°The president is in a meeting. He might not be able toe out to see you for the time being.¡± The Secretary¡¯s polite smile and words made Xu Xin a little impatient. Xu Xin said,¡±¡±What do you mean you can¡¯te out? Did you go in to report? You didn¡¯t even go in to call him, how do you know he won¡¯te out?¡± The angle of her words was so tricky that it made the colleagues beside her clench their teeth and feel a little angry. The Secretary still smiled politely and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, miss Xu. The people inside are all high-level people in thepany. I don¡¯t have the right to interfere. Please understand.¡± The Secretary was still very respectful. Although Xu Xin was impatient, she did not continue to trouble the other party. After rolling her eyes at the other party, she said casually,¡± ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll wait for him here.¡± The Secretary smiled and left. The next second, she ran to the front desk for a drink, not forgetting to ask the Secretary for her thoughts. ¡°How is it? Was miss Xu acting like an Auntie again? Would he roll his eyes again? Hahahahahaha burp. ¡± Front deskdy A asked. ¡°Something like that, but she didn¡¯t target me.¡± ¡°Ah, this ...¡± While they were chatting, Xu Xin was also waiting for them. She was not good at waiting for people. Usually, it was others who waited for her, but if she had to wait, it would really be worse than death. She sat outside the meeting room and wanted to see what was going on inside through the door and window, but the door and window were covered by the curtain, so she couldn¡¯t see anything. Xu Xin shrugged. After she calmed down, she started ying with her phone. However, she had underestimated how much she cared about Zheng Zeyi. She could not even y with her phone properly. She couldn¡¯t do anything. There were a few times when she wanted to leave ande backter, but when she thought about how she wanted to send it to the other party as soon as possible, she felt that she could wait a little longer. By noon, most of the people had gone out for lunch, but no one came out. Xu Xin almost fell asleep. The Secretary saw her sleepy look and went up to remind her. ¡°Miss Xu, it¡¯s already noon. Don¡¯t you want to go eat something?¡± His words woke Xu Xin up. She opened her eyes unhappily and said stubbornly,¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going! I¡¯m not leaving until I see Zheng Zeyi. ¡± The Secretary asked worriedly,¡±ah, but you¡¯re here so early, and I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve eaten this morning, have you?¡± You¡¯re not hungry?¡± Xu Xin was getting more and more annoyed as she listened to the Secretary¡¯s words. She felt that the person in front of her was so busy. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry. ¡± He said perfunctorily. The next second, his stomach growled. ¡°¡­¡­¡± The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Xu Xin still pushed the Secretary. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Hurry up and help me buy something. Don¡¯t bother me anymore.¡± His tone was ufortable. The Secretary was smiling, but she had had enough of Xu Xin. The colleagues around her felt that it was not worth it for this Secretary. They all knew Xu Xin¡¯s personality. Whoever provoked her would be in trouble. And inside. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face darkened as he looked at thepany executives. He was getting tired of hearing the same words. The senior executives were not blind. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s impatient look was really torturous for them, and they were also waiting to be relieved. ¡°Meeting dismissed.¡± As the meeting was dismissed, the executives heaved a sigh of relief. The door was pushed open and Xu Xin immediately went up to him. When she saw Zheng ze, she smiled and stuck to him like a dog¡¯s fart ointment. ¡°Brother Zheng, why is the meeting so long today?¡± The woman¡¯s sharp words did not please Zheng Zeyi. He said,¡±¡±What a coincidence.¡± Xu Xin was speechless. ¡°Pfft ...¡± A few of the colleagues nearby heard their CEO¡¯s god-like reply and silently remembered it in their hearts. They even gave a like to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back view. Xu Xin did not give up. She handed the peach blossom cake to Zheng Zeyi and said as if she was an obedient girl. ¡°Hey, brother Zheng, I bought this especially for you. You seem to like it, so I ...¡± Zheng Zeyi took a casual nce and pushed it away. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t need it. ¡± His words seemed to monopolize all of Xu Xin¡¯s attacks, but she refused to give up and followed Zheng Zeyi to the parking lot. She couldn¡¯t afford to buy the peach pastry for free. When she saw Zheng ze open the car door and was about to leave, she suddenly had an idea. When she saw that the window of the passenger seat was not closed, she quickly stuffed it into the passenger seat when Zheng ze was not paying attention. She had also learned to be careful. She did not ce it in an especially obvious ce but ced it in the crack so that Zheng ze did not notice it when he drove. As she watched Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car slowly leave, Xu Xin crossed her arms and smiled. ¡°Ha, after eating my peach pastry, is there still anything about Joes?¡± On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi was not in a good mood today. He was even more annoyed when he saw Xu Xin outside. For some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching, as if something was going to happen. This feeling didn¡¯t disappear even when they reached home. Joes went out for a walk. Actually, she did not like to stay at home. She looked at the sun in the sky, took a deep breath, and smiled. The pale yellow dress made her skin look even paler. She looked like a flower Angel who had just walked out of the grass, and her smile was lovely and sunny. Joesse had just finished her stroll and was walking home leisurely. Coincidentally, before she reached her house, she saw Zheng ze driving in the direction of her house from afar. Joes did not go in and simply stood at the door, waiting for Zheng ze toe in.

Zheng Zeyi had just driven to the door. Before he could see anyone, he could already hear waves ofughter. He immediately drove to the door. His tightly furrowed brows finally eased up a little. When he saw Joes¡¯s figure, he finally felt a little more at ease. Joes hid at the side obediently and waved at the people inside. Zheng Zeyi nodded, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up. This was what he wanted. After getting out of the car, he saw Joes. The fatigue from a day¡¯s work returned home, and the moment he saw Joes, his entire being was instantly filled with energy. In just a few steps, he was beside joesse. She was dressed in a thinyer of clothing. Zheng Zeyi touched Qiao sisi¡¯s face with one hand.¡±Sisi, why are you standing in front of the house?¡± He was afraid that Joes would catch a cold from the wind. ¡°No, ah ze, I just came back from a walk. I saw your car driving over before I reached the door, so I wanted to wait for you toe in and go in together.¡± Looking at his worried expression, Joes smiled and covered Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand with her own. ¡°Don¡¯t wear so little when you go out for walks in the future. At least wear a coat. The temperature will drop at night. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Zheng ze said as he used his other hand to touch Joes ¡®stomach. ¡°You¡¯re two people now. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said casually. At this time, the expression on his face was very gentle. If thepany¡¯s employees saw this now, they would be shocked. They couldn¡¯t believe that this person in front of them was still the previous president. Where had the cold and aloof President gone? ¡°Aiya, I know! I know! I know ze is the best to me!¡± Joes smiled and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice as she agreed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s request. As soon as Zheng ze saw that her ears were gradually turning red, he could not help but want to rub those soft ears. But in reality, he just did it, satisfying what he wanted. After massaging, he said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go in. It¡¯s cold outside. ¡± After Zheng ze rubbed her ear affectionately, joesse¡¯s face turned bright red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, like a ripe persimmon. She quickly lowered her head and stood on her toes, not daring to look at Zheng ze again. Just as she was about to walk in with him, she suddenly remembered that the other earring was missing. She looked around the house but couldn¡¯t find it. She thought that she must have dropped it in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car when she had left in a hurry thest time. Thinking of thest time, her face burned even more. It was not time to get out of the car yet ... Ah ze kissed his lips and didn¡¯t stop when he stopped ... At that time, she was shocked when she looked into the mirror. Her lips were swollen from being kissed, and they were so red. It was so embarrassing. She mumbled her lips and hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car ... When Zheng ze saw that Qiao sisi¡¯s face was so red, he reached out to touch her face.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? A fever? Your face is so red and hot!¡± He was about to pull Joes to the doctor after touching her. ¡°Oh, ze, I¡¯m fine. You can go in first.¡± Joes pushed Zheng ze in. If he knew that she was reminded of thest time, he would definitely ... Covering her reddened face, she turned around and quickly walked to the car. ¡°¡±I¡¯ve been looking for an earring but couldn¡¯t find it. I was thinking that I might have dropped it in your car, so I wanted to go look for it.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll help you look for it.¡± ¡°No need, no need. I¡¯ll find it myself. Let¡¯s go in.¡± Joes quickly rejected. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go in first. If I can¡¯t find it, then forget it. At most, I¡¯ll buy a new pair.¡± After personally seeing that Joes had safely walked to the car, he turned around and went in with a peace of mind. Joesse walked to the car and opened the door to the passenger¡¯s seat. She looked around but could not find it, so she thought that it must have been left in the back seat. He closed the door of the front passenger seat and turned to open the door of the back seat. After looking around, he did not find the earring. However, he was surprised to see peach pastry sitting upright in the car seat. This silly ah ze, he forgot to bring me the peach cake. He¡¯s really tired from work. I have to persuade him to rest and not think about work all day. Joes shook her head as she happily hugged the peach pastry in her arms. Qiao si brought the peach blossom cake into the house.¡±Ah ze, I didn¡¯t find the earrings, but I did see a peach blossom cake. I brought it for you.¡± She entered the living room and sat on the sofa. When she saw Zheng Zeyi in the kitchen, she smiled and spoke to him. Zheng Zeyi, who was drinking water in the kitchen, poured a ss of warm water for Qiao sisi. He was still thinking about when he should buy some Peach Crisps for her. Before she even reached the living room, she could already see the peach pastry on the table opposite of joesse from afar. Wasn¡¯t that the peach Crisps that Xu Xin wanted to give him after the meeting? He had clearly rejected her, so why was she still in the car? Sisi had even discovered it. He panicked and ran to the sofa Joes was sitting on as fast as he could. He sat beside her and leaned over, blocking Joes ¡®view of the peach pastry. He ced the cup of water in joesse¡¯s hand and said,¡±¡±Drink some water first to warm your body.¡± Seeing that Qiao sisi had finished her water, Zheng Zeyi was about to bring the peach Crisps and the cup back to the kitchen. ¡°Ze,¡± Joes said.¡±Are these Peach Crisps for me?¡± ¡°Aiya, you put it in ah ze¡¯s car. Who else could it be if not for me? I¡¯m asking such a stupid question.¡± Qiao si looked at Zheng Zeyi and asked him with curved eyes. The smile on Joes ¡®lips had not stopped since she found the peach pastry. ¡°Wait, wait a minute, sisi, don¡¯t hit ...¡± Before Zheng ze could stop her, Qiao sisi had already opened the peach pastry.¡±...Open ...¡± Joes opened it and saw the contents of the note inside. She picked it up and read it curiously. It would have been better if she had not looked. The moment she did, the smile on Joes ¡®face instantly turned cold. ¡°Sisi, let me exin. Xu Xin wanted to give me this after the meeting, but I rejected her. I didn¡¯t ept her peach cake, I swear! He really did not ept it! But I really don¡¯t know why the peach cake would appear in my car. ¡± Zheng Zeyi exined everything in one breath, afraid that joesse would misunderstand. After all, he was still pregnant with a baby and could not be angered. ¡°Sisi, I really didn¡¯t ept it. She must¡¯ve put the peach cake in my car on her own ord.¡± Seeing that Joes¡¯s face was cold and she did not reply to him, he became even more anxious. In the past, the big CEO always had a cold face, but at this moment, it was theplete opposite. He had an anxious expression. However, Joes only smiled and did not say anything. Chapter 643

Zheng Zeyi, who was in a hurry to exin himself, looked troubled. He was still thinking about how to make Joes forgive him. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone rang. Joes nced over and picked up her phone to take a look. Her expression, which was about to improve a little, suddenly turned cold when she saw that message. The sweet happiness that she had earlier was now gone. Joes coldly threw the phone onto the sofa beside Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Ha, you still say you didn¡¯t ept it.¡± Joesse pointed at the content on the phone screen and looked at Zheng Zeyi coldly. Zheng ze saw that her expression had turned for the better, but it turned cold in an instant. He picked up the phone that had been thrown on the sofa and read the contents. ¡°Zeyi, did you receive the peach Crisps? Did it taste good? If it¡¯s good, I¡¯ll make it for you often in the future~¡± Only after reading the content did Zheng Zeyi realize that the reason for joesse¡¯s change in attitude was because of the stupid text message that this woman had sent. She was really annoying. It seemed like he had to quickly deal with her. ¡°Ha? Why didn¡¯t she reply? Did he not dare? Why are you still here? Is she better than me? Is it because I¡¯m pregnant that I¡¯ve lost my womanly charm?¡± Seeing that the adulterer man was getting more and more engrossed in the woman¡¯s text messages, he was so angry that he threw out several fatal questions at once. The more Qiao si thought about it, the angrier she got. In order to vent her anger, she saw a pillow beside her and threw it at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face. He ced the pillow that Joes had thrown over and said to Joes in a fawning manner,¡±¡±Sisi, I didn ¡®t. Really, I¡¯ll block her immediately!¡± Zheng Zeyi picked up his phone and cklisted the two words in front of joesse. ¡°Look, sisi, I¡¯ve already blocked her. I don¡¯t want to talk to her at all. I feel disgusted talking to her.¡± He then handed the phone to Joes. Joes nced at the phone in her hand. Seeing that the man had taken the initiative to block the woman, her expression turned for the better. She no longer had that cold look on her face, and all the anger she had been holding in exploded at that moment. ¡°Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu Wuwu, burp, I thought you, burp, didn¡¯t want, me, me and the baby.¡± Joes finally could not hold it in anymore and loudly vented her emotions. ¡°No, no. I love you so much. How could I not want you and the baby?¡± Zheng ze panicked when he saw that Qiao si si had suddenly started crying. He patted Joes¡¯s back gently and coaxed her with a gentle tone,¡±¡±Sisi, you¡¯re the people I love the most in this world. I don¡¯t want to live without you. It¡¯s because of you that my life feels so full and exciting.¡± ¡°Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu ¡°Remember, I, Zheng Zeyi, love you the most. Sisi, don¡¯t cry. My heart aches when I see you like this. Besides, you¡¯re pregnant.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not hide the heartache on his face. Zheng ze used his hand to gently wipe away the tears on Joes ¡®face. Her eyes were filled with tears, and a few strands of her hair were stuck to each other because of her tears. Her nose was red, and her face was red from crying. She looked rather cute. It was only then that the rain finally cleared up and Qiao si stopped crying. Now that she thought about how childish she was before, how ah ze kept exining to her but she didn¡¯t listen and only med ah ze, she felt extremely guilty. ¡°Ze, burp, we love you too. It¡¯s my fault for not listening to your exnation. Burp, am I very petty?¡± Because of her guilt, Qiao si SI¡¯s tone was soft. ¡°No, I like it when you¡¯re jealous of me. It¡¯s cute, and I like it very much. Don¡¯t hold back any emotions in the future. You must vent out your unhappiness, understand? Sisi. ¡± Zheng Zeyi cupped her soft face and kissed it. ¡°I know.¡± Joes said softly, her face turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. The thought of bing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s wife in the future made her so happy that she was about to go crazy. The smile on her face gradually became strange and creepy. At the same time, Xu Xin had not received a reply from Zheng Zeyi for a long time. She thought that he was too busy and did not see it, so she typed another message to him: ¡°Zeyi, how¡¯s the taste? not bad, right?¡± However, as soon as he sent it, he received the words ¡®cklisted¡¯. The smile on his face became ferocious. ¡°It must be that B * tch, Qiao sisi, that¡¯s why ze Yi didn¡¯t receive my message.¡± ¡°Just you wait, you B * tch. Zheng Zeyi belongs to me! It will always be mine!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll definitely teach you a lesson! You will have to pay the price for everything you¡¯ve done!¡± ¡°That damned woman. Why can¡¯t I get it when she can?¡± Xu Xin gritted her teeth and mumbled to herself angrily. However, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. How was she inferior to Qiao sisi? I have the looks and the family I want, but even a fair, rich, and beautiful woman who lives in such superior conditions is cold to me. What did that woman do to make him love her so loyally? I¡¯d like to see what kind of scheming woman she is to be able to charm Zheng Zeyi. Then, he picked up his car keys and left. At this moment, elder Xu heard the door m and came out of the house. However, he was getting on in years. No matter how fast elder Xu walked, he could not catch up to Xu Xin. When elder Xu came to the living room and looked at Xu Xin through the balcony, he saw that she had already started her car. At this moment, Xu Xin said angrily to a servant who was over 50 years old,¡±¡±Uncle Liu, open the door.¡± When uncle Liu opened the door, Xu Xin stepped on the elerator and the car was already half a mile away before he could react. At this moment, uncle Liu stumbled backward and almost fell. He said helplessly,¡±¡±Sigh, this child ...¡± After that, he returned to his room. When he returned to the house, he saw elder Xu looking out the window. It turned out that elder Xu had already seen everything. Elder Xu said angrily,¡±¡±This girl is getting more and more out of control. When shees back, I¡¯ll make her apologize to you.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Uncle Liu said as he returned to his room. Chapter 644

¡°Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!¡± The doorbell rang. ¡°Hey, they¡¯re here!¡± The helper at home opened the door.¡±May I know who you are?¡± The servant asked, not knowing who it was. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m xu Xin from Zeyipany. I¡¯m here to visit Ms. Qiao.¡± Xu Xin greeted him with what she thought was an elegant look. ¡°Hello, miss Xu. Pleasee in.¡± The servant led Xu Xin to the living room and sat on the sofa. She poured a ss of water and ced it on the table in front of Xu Xin. ¡°Miss Xu, please have some water. I¡¯ll go get Madam.¡± With that said, the servant went upstairs to call Jossi. Xu Xin sat on the sofa in the living room. She looked at the leather sofa and caressed it. She thought to herself,¡±if I take Zheng Zeyi away from Qiao si, I¡¯ll be the mistress of the house.¡± ¡°Madam, miss Xu Xin said she¡¯s here to visit you. She¡¯s sitting in the living room.¡± ¡°I know, I¡¯ll go down now.¡± Oh, what an uninvited guest. If he didn¡¯t forget, this was the woman who had sent a message to ah ze yesterday. After dressing up, she went downstairs. She just wiped her face, and she was still beautiful even without makeup. ¡°Miss Xu, how are you?¡± Qiao sisi, who had just arrived downstairs, greeted Xu Xin with a smile. ¡°Hello, miss Qiao.¡± Xu Xin, who had not turned around yet, rolled her eyes when she heard the voice. Then, she turned around and put on an air of superiority. His hand only touched Joes ¡®for a moment before moving away. Jossughed nonchntly and retracted her hand as if nothing had happened. ¡°I wonder how my peach crushes taste like, Zeyi?¡± Xu Xin said arrogantly as she touched her hair. Joes nced at her and did not say anything. Seeing that Qiao sisi was silent, Xu Xin thought that she had hit the nail on the head. With that thought in mind, she said to Qiao sisi in an aggressive manner,¡±¡±What, you didn¡¯t say you¡¯d get me a ss of water?¡± Xu Xin did not know that she would say something like that, but the words seemed toe out of her mouth uncontrobly as if she was the master of the house. Qiao si thought to herself,¡¯anyone whoes home is a guest,¡¯ so she went to the kitchen and poured Xu Xin a ss of water. Xu Xin looked at the water in the ss and shook it. Perhaps she was used to shaking it because she liked to drink red wine. ¡°As for Zheng Zeyi, I will snatch him away from you one day. You don¡¯t belong to you. He belongs to me.¡± This time around, Joris, who had always been easy to talk to and had a gentle personality, began to retaliate. She smiled, her eyes full of mockery.¡±Don¡¯t be delusional.¡± This sentence hit Xu Xin hard. Xu Xin suddenly stopped shaking the ss in her hand. Instead, she raised the ss and threw it on the ground. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you broke a water ss or wanted a branded bag, but I will never allow you to take Zheng Zeyi away from me. Besides, you don¡¯t have the ability to do so.¡± Qiao sisi looked at the ss shards on the ground and then at Xu Xin coldly. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, please leave. You¡¯re not wee here.¡± With that, Qiao sisi chased Xu Xin out of her house. Xu Xin was furious and said,¡±¡±In the future, I will be the mistress of this house.¡± Seeing that Joes had thrown him out, he did not want to leave and pushed her. Joes was pregnant and her body was heavy. How could she withstand such a push? she stumbled and fell to the ground. At this moment, Joes, who was lying on the ground, groaned,¡±¡±Stomach ... Stomach ... It hurts.¡± He seemed to be in pain. Seeing this scene, Xu Xindi panicked. He didn¡¯t know what to do, and he couldn¡¯t help rubbing his hands back and forth. Finally, in the midst of her panic, Xu Xin dialed 120. Xu Xin panicked when she saw that the ambnce had not arrived. When he looked again, he saw that blood was flowing from the bottom of Joes¡¯s leg. Xu Xin only wanted to take Zheng Zeyi away from Qiao sisi, but she had never thought of hurting her. There were two lives at stake this time. Xu Xin was extremely afraid. If anything were to happen to her, she would never be able to raise her head to see Zheng Zeyi again. Xu Xin really hoped that the ambnce would arrive soon. ¡°Beep, beep, beep ...¡± The ambnce finally arrived. The doctor carried a stretcher over and hurriedly carried joesse up. When they were carried into the car, they saw the maid go up and the doctor said,¡±Can one of the patient¡¯s family members pleasee up here?¡± Xu Xin was stunned when she saw that there was no one around her. In the end, she decided to follow the ambnce to the hospital. Along the way, Xu Xin¡¯s heart seemed to be hanging in the air, afraid that anything would happen to Qiao si si. She prayed silently in her heart: Please don¡¯t let anything happen. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor quickly pushed the stretcher into the operating room. Xu Xin followed him in. However, she was stopped at the door. The doctor said,¡±¡±The family members are waiting outside.¡± Xu Xin watched as the red light of the operating room lit up. She sat in her seat and rubbed her hair with both hands. She felt helpless. She was the one who went in, but she could not do anything. ¡°Ding, ding, ding.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone rang. Everyone in thepany stopped talking and looked at Zheng Zeyi. At this time, Zheng Zeyi was in a meeting. When he saw that it was a call from home, he felt that it was nothing serious and hung up. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s look at this.¡± Just as Zheng Zeyi was about to speak, his phone rang again. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi looked at his phone and saw that it was still a call from home. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll go out to take a call. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said apologetically to thepany staff, then pushed the door open and answered the call. ¡°Young master, Madam fell down. She¡¯s in the hospital now. Pleasee back and take a look.¡± The anxious voice of the Butler came from the other side of the phone. When Zheng ze heard this news, he could not help but shiver in his heart. Then, he left thepany, took his car keys, and went straight to the hospital. Zheng ze drove at top speed the entire way. He could not wait to fly to the hospital and to joesse¡¯s side. He was extremely anxious, afraid that something would happen to joesse. When they arrived at the hospital, Xu Xin, who was waiting outside the operating room, saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s sudden arrival and walked to his side. This time, it was different from the past. This time, he didn¡¯t have his previous arrogant attitude. He just lowered his head and ced his hands uneasily, like a child who had done something wrong. Xu Xin wanted to say something, but she didn¡¯t know what to say. When Zheng ze saw Xu Xin, he didn¡¯t say anything. He just leaned over the operating room door and watched. Xu Xin looked at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s anxious eyes. She knew that Zheng Zeyi had never looked at her with such a look. She understood everything. At this moment, he had already lost. Chapter 645

In the ward. Zheng ze looked at joesse who was lying on the bed and hurriedly asked,¡±where are you hurt? let me take a look.¡± When Xu Xin saw Zheng Zeyi, who had rushed over to show his concern for Qiao sisi, she was rather flustered. After all, she was the one who had pushed Qiao sisi, causing her stomach to hurt. Qiao sisi felt Zheng Zeyi¡¯s care and love. It made her feel very happy, even though Xu Xin had an argument with her and identally pushed her down, causing her stomach to hurt. However, Qiao sisi had no intention of telling Zheng Zeyi about this. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just fell down by ident. I¡¯m fine now.¡± Joes ¡®kind heart exined with a smile. ¡°Really? I don¡¯t want to criticize you, but you¡¯re a mother now, so you have to be careful in everything. You¡¯re always so sloppy. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said angrily. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Don¡¯t you see that I¡¯m perfectly fine? If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask the doctor. ¡± Joes said with a smile. Qiao si si did not mind Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone at all. Instead, she felt that it was sweet. She could hear the deep concern and love in his words. Xu Xin was puzzled as she watched from the side. She had thought that Qiao sisi would definitely use this as an excuse toin about her in front of Zheng Zeyi. She did not expect that Joes, whom she had always regarded as a threat, would actually speak up for her. This made her feel extremely ridiculed. In her opinion, Joes must have ulterior motives. Xu Xin felt that Qiao sisi was up to something. Xu Xin was a very willful and stubborn woman. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask the doctor. If I find out that you lied to me, just you wait ...¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a serious face. Zheng ze looked at Xu Xin and said,¡±thank you, Xu Xin. Thank you for sending Qiao si to the hospital in time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing! This is what I should do. ¡± Xu Xin felt extremely embarrassed. After all, she was the one who had caused Qiao sisi¡¯s injury, and she felt extremely ashamed. As Zheng Zeyi wanted to know about her condition, he immediately went to find a doctor and asked about her condition. After Zheng ze left, only the two women were left looking at each other. Qiao SI¡¯s eyes were calm as she looked at Xu Xin with sincerity and kindness. Xu Xin¡¯s hair stood on end under Qiao sisi¡¯s gaze. She felt that Qiao sisi was up to no good. Women in Love always disliked their love rivals. ¡°Why did you hide the truth?¡± Xu Xin could not hold back her curiosity and asked Qiao sisi. Joes smiled and said,¡±it¡¯s nothing. You didn¡¯t mean it, did you? I know you¡¯re not a bad person, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t be in the hospital now, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯d be a fool to believe you. What are you plotting? Why did you help me hide it?¡± Xu Xincai did not believe that Qiao sisi would be so kind as to help her hide the truth. Only a ghost would believe her. Xu Xin was a very willful person and did not believe that Qiao si si would be so kind. She was even more suspicious of Qiao SI¡¯s evil intentions. ¡°Hmph! Do you want to go back andin? Are you afraid that Zheng Zeyi won¡¯t believe me if I tell on you now?¡± Xu Xin analyzed confidently. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. ¡°Xu Xin, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I really don¡¯t have that kind of thought. I know you¡¯re a kind woman, and you didn¡¯t push me down on purpose, did you?¡± Qiao si looked at Xu Xin with a pained expression. She felt that Xu Xin must have been like this because her parents had passed away, and her personality was wed. In her opinion, Xu Xin was a kind girl. Joes continued,¡±this is actually just a small misunderstanding. I won¡¯t mind, and it¡¯s not what you think.¡± ¡°I will never tell Zheng Zeyi that everything that happened today is a little secret between you and me.¡± ¡°Hmph! In any case, I won¡¯t ept your kindness. Whether you tell Zheng Zeyi or not, I won¡¯t believe you. ¡± Xu Xin did not care about Qiao sisi¡¯s goodwill. ¡°In the future, you¡¯ll naturally know whether I¡¯m telling the truth or not. A lie can¡¯t be true, and a lie can¡¯t be faked.¡± Qiao si did not care about Xu Xin¡¯s fierce questioning. ¡°I won¡¯t believe everything you say. You¡¯re fine now. Since Zheng ze is here to see you, I¡¯ll go home first.¡± Xu Xin hated Qiao sisi, who cared about her. In her opinion, there must be an unspeakable conspiracy in this. She felt very ufortable and did not want to face Jossi anymore. ¡°Thank you for sending me to the hospital. Take care, Xu Xin. Bye!¡± Qiao si said goodbye to Xu Xin cheekily. Xu Xin was even more upset. She turned around and red at Qiao sisi before turning around and walking away. On the contrary, she felt even more strongly that Joes was up to no good. Otherwise, why would she be so nice to her love rival? this did not make any sense at all. In her opinion, this hadpletely overturned her understanding of the world. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was looking for a doctor to ask about Qiao sisi¡¯s condition.¡±Doctor, how is my girlfriend? is she really fine?¡± The doctor looked at Zheng Zeyi and exined. ¡°Mr. Zheng Zeyi, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already done a full-body check on Ms. Qiao. There¡¯s no major problem. It¡¯s just a minor scratch.¡± ¡°Both the condition of Qiao sisi¡¯s body and the fetus in her body are very good. Hence, Mr. Zheng Zeyi, you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± ¡°However, you must be more careful in the future. After all, Joes has only been pregnant for a short while. She was very lucky this time and did not hurt the fetus.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why the fetus didn¡¯t suffer any severe impact when Joes fell. It might not be so lucky the next time. You must be careful, okay?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with joesse¡¯s body. She only needs to recuperate in the hospital for a few days.¡± ¡°Thank you, doctor. We¡¯ll be careful.¡± Zheng Zeyi thanked her and left the doctor-in-charge¡¯s office. When Zheng ze returned to Qiao sisi¡¯s ward and did not see Xu Xin, he asked,¡±did Xu Xin leave first? I haven¡¯t thanked her yet. ¡± Zheng Zeyi had originally nned to thank Xu Xin properly. After all, she was the one who had sent Qiao sisi to the hospital in time. ¡°Mm! Xu Xin left early because she had something to do. ¡± Joes said with a smile. ¡°Alright! You must be more careful in the future! The doctor said that you were really lucky this time, so you¡¯re fine. ¡± Zheng Zeyi concernedly reminded Qiao sisi to be careful in the future. ¡°Mm! I know. Don¡¯t worry, it was an ident today. I was too careless and didn¡¯t see the water on the ground, so I fell down. ¡± Qiao sisi found a very reliable excuse to hide the truth that Xu Xin had pushed the me on her. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll let it go this time, but there won¡¯t be a next time!¡± Zheng Zeyi sat by the bed and grabbed joesse¡¯s hand. ¡°I was going to thank Xu Xin properly today, but I didn¡¯t expect her to leave. I¡¯ll just have to find a chance to thank her next time. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was still brooding over Xu Xin¡¯s departure. In his opinion, Xu Xin was a kind girl who did good deeds without asking for anything in return. Such people were rare nowadays. Chapter 646

Qiao sisi tried to hold in herughter as she watched Zheng Zeyi me himself for Xu Xin¡¯s departure. It was a hrious scene. Xu Xin drove home in a bad mood. Her grandfather, who was drinking tea in the living room, saw her gloomy face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, my good granddaughter? Which bad guy dares to bully our baby again?¡± Elder Xu looked at his granddaughter lovingly and asked. Xu Xin felt extremely aggrieved. Why did he have to make her so sad? the man she liked didn¡¯t like her. This kind of love made her feel physically and mentally exhausted. ¡°Grandpa, what do you think I should do?¡± Xu Xin said inexplicable things and vividly expressed herck of answers. Elder Xu was dumbfounded. He looked at his precious granddaughter helplessly. This was really too annoying. ¡°Yuxin, my good granddaughter, you should exin it to Grandpa! I can only help you think of a solution if you tell me clearly. How can I know what¡¯s on your mind if you don¡¯t tell me?¡± Elder Xu consoled his granddaughter. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s like this ...¡± Xu Xin could not finish her sentence. She found it difficult to continue. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Say it? Even if Grandpa wants to help you, he won¡¯t be able to do so even if you say half a word?¡± Old master Xu looked at Xu Xin with a bitter smile. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ve fallen in love with someone and I want to be with him.¡± Xu Xin decided to slowly exin her messy rtionship. Although she had been pampered by her grandfather since she was young, she knew that her grandfather could be stubborn sometimes and that some things were hard to exin. ¡°Alright! Which family¡¯s young man is it that my family¡¯s baby has taken a fancy to? He¡¯s really lucky. ¡± Old master Xu joked. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m the one who fell for her, not the other way around.¡± Xu Xin quickly exined. ¡°What? My granddaughter is so beautiful, but he dares to look down on her. Tell Grandpa who he is, I¡¯ll teach him a lesson. ¡± Old master Xu was very angry. In his eyes, his precious granddaughter was a pampered daughter of the heavens. There was actually someone who didn¡¯t like his granddaughter. This made him very angry! ¡°Grandpa, I really love that guy, but he¡¯s not around and doesn¡¯t care about me. What do you think I should do?¡± Xu Xin asked expectantly. Xu Xin had been brought up by her grandfather. In her eyes, her grandfather was a very capable person. There were very few things that her grandfather could not do. She was looking forward to seeing what kind of advice her grandfather would give her. ¡°Isn¡¯t this easy? Can¡¯t you just make him fall in love with you? As the saying goes, a man chasing a woman is separated by a mountain, and a woman chasing a man by a veil. Grandpa agrees with this saying very much. ¡± Old master Xu said as he recalled the past. ¡°Aiya! Grandpa, how could you say it¡¯s useless? I¡¯ve tried it! No matter how much I pursue him, it doesn¡¯t have any good effect. He still only sees me as an ordinary friend. ¡± Xu Xin continued to ask elder Xu for his opinion. After elder Xu heard this, he felt that something was wrong. From his experience, the rtionship between men and women in this world was actually very simple. There were only two kinds of feelings between men and women. The first was that both parties loved each other, and the second was unrequited love. Many men and women were married on the surface, but they had another true love in their hearts. This kind of love upied 90% of people¡¯s lives. ¡°Mm! I can only tell you that the man you like is in love with another woman. This is difficult. I advise you to give up!¡± After all, elder Xu was an experienced man. He knew very well that emotional hurt was the greatest hurt in the world. It was better to have a short pain than a long one. It was not bad to cut off this ill-fated rtionship as soon as possible while he had not fallen in love yet. ¡°No! It¡¯s toote, I¡¯ll marry no one but him in this life. Grandpa, can you help me?¡± Xu Xin swore solemnly and firmly. ¡°You little girl, this is not good, you will get hurt!¡± Old master Xu sighed at the impermanence of life. ¡°No! Grandpa, please help me. If I can¡¯t have him, I¡¯ll starve myself to show you. ¡± Xu Xin had no choice but to use her trump card. She remembered that this trick had worked every time when she was young. ¡°Hehe! You little girl, you¡¯re already so old, and you¡¯re still using this to threaten Grandpa. You¡¯re looking down on Grandpa too much!¡± Old master Xuughed heartily. ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re so mean!¡± Xu Xin was unhappy. ¡°Tell me, who is the boy you like? As long as it¡¯s not too big of a problem, I¡¯ll help you. ¡± Elder Xu was well aware of his family¡¯s status and powerful strength. He believed that with his precious granddaughter¡¯s background, few men would reject her. He was a little curious about who this kid was. ¡°Zheng Zeyi is the person I like. Grandpa, please help me!¡± Xu Xin said with a guilty conscience. ¡°What? It¡¯s actually that stinky brat. ¡± Old master Xu said in shock. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Grandpa, please help me. ¡± ¡°No, just pretend I didn¡¯t hear about this. Quickly give up.¡± Elder Xu felt helpless and could only heartlessly refuse to help his granddaughter. ¡°Why not? Zheng Zeyi isn¡¯t married yet, so he can get a divorce after he¡¯s married, right?¡± Xu Xin was unhappy and said stubbornly. ¡°AI! That kid is about to get married, and you¡¯re the third party. Grandpa won¡¯t help you, and you two won¡¯t be happy. ¡± Elder Xu clearly understood everything. ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t care, I¡¯ll marry no one but him in this life, I just like him. ¡± Xu Xin said stubbornly. When Chen Anna received the news that Joes was injured and hospitalized, she immediately rushed over to visit her. ¡°Jossi, how are you? where are you hurt?¡± Anna Chen immediately asked the moment she saw Joes. ¡°Hehe, what¡¯s the rush? look at me, I¡¯m fine,¡± Joes was in a good mood when she saw how concerned Anna Chen was. ¡°I¡¯m just worried about you. How¡¯s the child?¡± Chen Anna asked. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Can¡¯t you tell how I¡¯m feeling?¡± Joes teased. Zheng Zeyi said as he entered the room and saw Chen Anna. ¡°Chen Anna, you¡¯re here. Thank you foring to see Jossi¡¯s condition. ¡± ¡°Nothing much? By the way, are your wedding photos out yet? Let me see?¡± Chen Anna asked curiously. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, go and show the wedding photos to Anna.¡± Joes instructed Zheng Zeyi. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll go get the photos.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s movements were Swift. He quickly found the wedding photo album and handed it to Chen Anna. ¡°Here you go! If you can¡¯t give me some suggestions, we can still make it in time for a retake. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said in a joking tone. ¡°Wow! Not bad!¡± ¡°As expected, they¡¯re both handsome and beautiful. Their wedding photos are amazing too. As expected, the more handsome you are, the better you look in the photos.¡± Chen Annamented. ¡°Really? Why can¡¯t I tell? I think this one is very ugly!¡± Jossi pointed at a photo that she was very dissatisfied with and asked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it? I think it¡¯s pretty good!¡± Chen Anna was confused. Chapter 647

The phone rang when they were discussing the wedding photos. Zheng ze picked up his phone and saw the caller ID. He immediately picked up when he realized it was a call from thepany.¡±Hello, what¡¯s up? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to call me unless it¡¯s important?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Zheng Zeyi. There¡¯s an important client who wants to see you.¡± Thepany employee who called was also very helpless. ¡°Who is it!¡± Zheng Zeyi was in a bad mood. He had already said that he had to take care of Joes, but she still called and harassed him. What big client was she that she had to contact him? ¡°It¡¯s like this, a representative from the xxx group wants to talk to you about the contract for the xxx project. The other party said that he will not sign the contract unless he sees you.¡± Thepany employee exined. ¡°Mm! I got it, I¡¯ll be there in a bit. ¡± Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows in anger. How could the contract that they had agreed on be changed so suddenly? what a bully. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, there¡¯s an emergency at thepany, you should go! I can take care of myself now, so you don¡¯t have to worry about my safety. ¡± Joes consoled her considerately. ¡°Alright! I¡¯m really sorry, I said I¡¯d always be with you, but I changed my mind. You won¡¯t me me, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi joked as he looked at the woman he loved. ¡°How could that be! I know I¡¯m the only one in your heart. ¡± Joes said happily. ¡°Take care of yourself. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Zheng Zeyi left after saying that. When they arrived at thepany, Zheng Zeyi finally saw who the client was. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not expect it to be her. He was surprised that the so-calledpany client was Xu Xin. ¡°What? Am I the strange one?¡± Xu Xin smiled mysteriously and said, ¡°Tell me! What was wrong with the contract? Didn¡¯t we already discuss the price and conditions, and we reached an agreement? it¡¯s not good to renege on it just like that!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you care about yourpany¡¯s reputation?¡± Zheng Zeyi felt that he had been deceived and spoke in a stiff tone. ¡°Hehe! Did I say that? Howe I don¡¯t remember saying such words?¡± Xu Xin was very cunning. Zheng Zeyi felt mentally exhausted. Women were really a pain in the ass sometimes, especially when they were unreasonable. He felt helpless. ¡°It seems that I¡¯ve been tricked. Why did you ask me toe?¡± Zheng Zeyi seemed to have seen through everything. He could tell from Xu Xin¡¯s words that this woman was definitely not here to discuss the contract. It was just an excuse. In fact, he wanted to talk to this woman about the contract. It would be worse if he didn¡¯t talk about the contract! It was especially tiring to talk to a woman who loved you, especially a cunning and annoying woman. Zheng Zeyi was not a fool. He was very clear about Xu Xin¡¯s motive because he knew what this woman was nning. In fact, he did not like to meet her in private. Thest time she gave him the peach Crisps, it almost caused a misunderstanding and made things even more difficult for him. Normally, any man would like to have a romantic encounter, but he was about to get married, so any romantic encounter was just a fleeting cloud. All he wanted now was to be with his beloved joesse wholeheartedly and build a Harbor of love that belonged to the two of them. That would be the happiest life he could have. However, there was a Vixen with ill intentions who wanted to disrupt his happiness. Naturally, Zheng Zeyi did not like to meet Xu Xin alone. He did not want this woman to misunderstand. However, he did not expect Xu Xin toe up with such a cunning n. ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Apany me for a meal. Isn¡¯t this super simple?¡± Xu Xin said with a bright smile. ¡°No, I¡¯m very grateful for your invitation. I¡¯m also very grateful for you sending my wife to the hospital, but I have something to do at home. Do you understand?¡± Zheng Zeyi rejected firmly. He believed that Xu Xin knew what he was trying to say. ¡°It¡¯s just a meal, what¡¯s the big deal? are you afraid that I¡¯ll eat you up? I¡¯m not a white bone Spirit from Journey to the West, nor am I a monster or ghost. What are you afraid of?¡± Xu Xin teased, pretending to be confused. How could Xu Xin give up so easily? she was already deeply in love with this man. No matter what, she had to get this man. She didn¡¯t have much time left. She knew that the wedding date of the man in front of her was approaching. If she didn¡¯t hurry up now, she believed that she would regret it even more in the future. In order to meet this man, she had really put in a lot of effort to arrange everything for today¡¯s meeting. How could she give up all her previous efforts? no matter what, she would not give up easily. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving. Please Make yourself at home, miss Xu Xin.¡± Zheng Zeyi saw through Xu Xin¡¯s thoughts and decided to ignore her. ¡°It¡¯s just a meal. Are you going to reject a little woman like me so heartlessly?¡± Xu Xin pretended to be pitiful and blocked Zheng ze¡¯s way. ¡°Didn¡¯t I already tell you? I¡¯m very grateful to you, Xu Xin. Next time, Jossi and I will thank you for your kindness. ¡± Zheng Zeyi promised solemnly. He knew that he could not give this woman a chance, or the consequences would be even more troublesome. He did not want to hurt anyone, so it was better to get the pain over with. ¡°You know what I want? Are you really that cruel to the woman who likes you?¡± Xu Xin was helpless. This man was unmoved. ¡°I refuse to be alone with you. This is a good thing for both of us. I¡¯m a man who¡¯s going to get married. ¡°Zheng Zeyi made a helpless gesture and strode away. ¡°You¡¯re really ...¡± Xu Xin was about to die from anger. ¡°No, you can¡¯t leave.¡± Xu Xin called out to the man as he walked away. ¡°Stop right there. If you continue to leave, do you think I won¡¯tin to old master Zheng?¡± Xu Xin had no choice but to use her trump card. Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and touched his nose with a bitter smile. He turned around helplessly as he was really threatened. ¡°What do you want to do? Xu Xin, don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s not good for you to be like this?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s emotions wereplicated and his face was full of helplessness. He walked back and said to Xu Xin. ¡°I don¡¯t care! If you don¡¯t eat with me, I¡¯ll go find old master Zheng. ¡± Xu Xin threatened again. She was very proud in her heart. You¡¯re still leaving! Now you don¡¯t dare to leave! Little guy, I can¡¯t control you. ¡°Xu Xin, you¡¯re ying with fire, you know? Why can¡¯t you just let go? Can¡¯t you just let go of something that doesn¡¯t belong to you? You¡¯re not a child anymore. ¡± Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to try his best to convince Xu Xin to change her mind. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s my business whether I y with fire or not. I didn¡¯t ask you to y with fire with me!¡± Xu Xinughed slyly. In order to make this man stay, Xu Xin felt that it was all worth it. It was the right thing to have him. A woman in love was not human when she went crazy. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve said so, what else can I say? Tell me, where do you want to go for dinner?¡± Zheng Zeyi gave in. He had no choice but to do so because old master Zheng was a powerful deterrent. Chapter 648

Seeing that Zheng Zeyi had agreed to her request, Xu Xin was secretly happy. As long as she stuck to him for a long time and hung around him often, she would be happy. Xu Xin was also very confident in her looks. She thought that as long as a man was pestered by a woman in every way possible, how could he not be tempted? She would get Zheng Zeyi no matter what. Zheng Zeyi felt that if Xu Xin had not used old master Zheng to threaten him into having dinner with her, he would not have gone to dinner with her. However, in order to not let old master Zheng know about this, he still had to go to dinner with Xu Xin. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already promised me, you can¡¯t go back on your word!¡± Xu Xin said with a smile. Zheng Zeyi nodded helplessly and said,¡±¡±You¡¯ve already brought up the old master, what can I not promise you? And it¡¯s just a meal. ¡± Xu Xin understood the meaning behind Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. He was saying that she was using old master Zheng¡¯s name to suppress him. Although Xu Xin understood the meaning behind his words, she did not express her opinion. She still smiled at Zheng Zeyi and said,¡±¡±Haha, don¡¯t say so much. I¡¯m hungry now. Let¡¯s go eat.¡± ¡°Where do you want to go? Do you want to eat Western or Chinese food?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked. He felt that Xu Xin should know what he meant. Xu Xin thought for a moment and said,¡±actually, you don¡¯t have to invite me to those expensive ces. I don¡¯t ask for much.¡± You can just take me to the restaurant downstairs to have a meal. ¡± When Zheng ze heard Xu Xin¡¯s words, he nodded and said,¡±¡±Alright then. Thepany¡¯s food is not bad. Since you want to eat, then go. ¡± ¡°Okay, you were going to treat me to Western or Chinese food. Since I chose to eat in thepany¡¯s restaurant this time, you can treat me to those ces next time.¡± Xu Xin blinked yfully and looked at Zheng Zeyi as she spoke. Xu Xin was preparing for their next meeting, but Zheng Zeyi did not think so. He coldly replied. ¡°Then let¡¯s talk about it next time. Don¡¯t just stand there andugh. Let¡¯s go.¡± After saying that, Zheng ze walked away without looking back. It was as if he did not feel like there was a person behind him. Xu Xin was a little choked by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s cold words, but she did not show any dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she continued to smile and follow him. ¡°I heard that the food in yourpany is very delicious ...¡± Xu Xin said as she followed Zheng Zeyi. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi did not really want to talk to Xu Xin. He was only focused on walking. He only said one sentence to Xu Xin. ¡°En, Yingluo.¡± Once again, Xu Xin felt a little awkward. She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but after thinking for a long time, she still did not know what to say. She had no choice but to quietly follow behind Zheng Zeyi. In the hospital Joes noticed a document on the office table. She felt that the document looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. She took the document and read it carefully. It turned out that this document was Zheng Zeyi ¡®S. Qiao si felt that Zheng Zeyi was a little absent-minded. Even a person who was usually so strict would lose something one day. Qiao si did not have any intention of opening the document as she did not like to look through other people¡¯s things. He was wondering if he should give this document to Zheng Zeyi. She pondered for a moment. What if this document was an extremely important document? Then I¡¯ll just send it to him. However, she didn¡¯t have time now, so she nned to let Chen Anna deliver the document. Joes took out her phone, found a number, and made a call. ¡°Anna, I just found a document here. It¡¯s Zheng Zeyi¡¯s document.¡± ¡°Oh, what¡¯s wrong with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s documents?¡± Anna Chen replied. ¡°I want you to help me deliver it. I don¡¯t have time right now, so I¡¯ll just send it to hispany.¡± Joesse said. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re asking me to send it over just because you don¡¯t have time. You don¡¯t even think about it, I¡¯m really busy. Alright, alright, give me that document. Where are you now? I¡¯ll go find you. ¡± Chen Annained. Joes knew that she might have done something wrong, but she still said to Chen Anna,¡±¡±Thank you, thank you. I¡¯m in the hospital now. Anna, you¡¯re a really good person. ¡± ¡°Tsk, Qiao sisi, don¡¯t give me that. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll be right there. ¡± Chen Anna said. As expected, Chen Anna came over to pick up the documents after a while. After that, Joes smiled and waved at Chen Anna. Anna Chen rolled her eyes at Joes. ¨C At the bottom of thepany- Chen Anna walked to the first floor of thepany with the documents. She was about to go upstairs to find Zheng Zeyi when she saw a familiar figure. She took a closer look at the figure and realized that it was Zheng Zeyi. She felt that it was just right. If Zheng Zeyi was here, she could just hand the documents over to him. Chen Anna was about to walk up to Zheng Ziyi, but she noticed a woman beside Zheng Zeyi. She immediately stopped and found a ce to sit down and watch secretly. She recognized the woman. She was Xu Xin. She was very curious as to why Xu Xin was here, and why she was even with Zheng Zeyi. Qiao sisi saw the two of them walking into the staff cafeteria, so she followed them. Chen Anna watched the two of them finish ordering and found a ce to sit down. She also found a ce to sit down and secretly watched. Xu Xin sat opposite Zheng Zeyi. Xu Xin picked up a piece of meat from her bowl and wanted to feed Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi watched as Xu Xin ate the meat for him, but he did not want to eat it. He shook his head and refused.¡±You should eat it yourself. I have my own hands.¡± ¡°Uh...About the old man ...¡± Xu Xin still wanted to use the old man¡¯s name to pressure him. Zheng Zeyi did not wait for Xu Xin to finish her sentence and interrupted,¡±¡±Just eat your food. Don¡¯t talk so much when you¡¯re eating.¡± ¡°I ...¡± Xu Xin was a little embarrassed by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. Thus, she shut her mouth awkwardly and continued to eat her food. She no longer wanted to feed Zheng Zeyi. Chen Anna was furious when she saw that Xu Xin was trying to feed Zheng ze. She did not expect Xu Xin to be so shameless. Zheng Zeyi was the same. He did not know how to reject her and just apanied a woman down for a meal. This was really too much. He wished he could stand up right now and walk in front of them to give them a good scolding. She stood up abruptly and shook the documents beside her. He noticed the documents beside her and thought that he shouldn¡¯t be too impulsive in this matter. He had to look at the big picture first. Chen Anna simply went to the front desk and handed the document to thedy at the front desk, asking her to hand it to Zheng Zeyi. Chapter 649

Chapter 649: Chen Anna¡¯s dilemma

Trantor: 549690339

After Anna Chen returned to the hospital, she looked at Qiao si, who was sitting in the hospital, and walked slowly with her head lowered. He recalled the scene he had just seen in the office. Xu Xin had actually reached out to feed Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi seemed to have caught it because from her angle, she was sitting behind him. She noticed that Zhen Zeyi¡¯s jawline moved a little, and he must have eaten something. If she had eaten something, it must have been Xu Xin. Chen Anna got angry just thinking about it. This Zheng Zeyi really didn¡¯t know what was good for him. He already had one, but he still had to go around and hook up with another. She didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. Chen Anna only paid attention to where she was walking with her head lowered and did not notice the people in front of her. ¡°Bang Bang Bang¡± Chen Anna was knocked to the ground. She came back to her senses and looked up. She wanted to know who had knocked her. However, when she looked up, she saw that no one had hit her. Instead, it was a pir. She shook her head helplessly. She didn¡¯t expect that she would think of things to this extent that she didn¡¯t even know what she had bumped into and had to look up. She was annoyed at herself for being absent-minded. She propped herself up and stood up, patting her butt that had hurt from the fall. Chen Anna looked around and made sure that no one had noticed her fall. Only then did she dare to continue walking. Chen Anna found Qiao si. She looked at Qiao si, not knowing if she should tell him what she saw downstairs today. ¡°I¡¯m back. I¡¯ve delivered the document to you, but I didn¡¯t hand it to them personally. Instead, I gave it to thedy at the front desk and asked her to hand it to Zheng Zeyi.¡± Chen Anna said. Joes and Joanna had returned, but she looked a little disheveled. Did something happen? However, since Chen Anna didn¡¯t say anything, he didn¡¯t have to ask. He was a little confused about why Chen Anna didn¡¯t hand the document to Zheng Ziyi, but he didn¡¯t have too many questions. Qiao si felt that Zheng Zeyi was not in the office at that time, so Chen Anna had no choice but to hand the documents to thedy at the front desk. ¡°I ...¡± Chen Anna seemed to want to say something, but she couldn ¡®t. Chen Anna felt that if she told him that she was in a bad mood, what should she do? However, if that incident was true and he did not tell joesse, he would really regret it if joesse was really dumped by Zheng Zeyi one day without any preparation. She was hesitating if she should speak up. At this moment, Joes also felt that there was something wrong with Anna Chen. She was not usually like this. Chen Na was usually very direct when she wanted to talk to him, so why was she a little ... Joes looked at Anna Chen in confusion and asked,¡±¡±I saw that you were in a sorry state when you came back today. What happened?¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing much. I just fell down while walking today. It¡¯s not a big deal, that¡¯s all,¡± Chen Anna stuttered. Joes looked at Anna Chen in disbelief. She did not expect that she would fall while walking today. She quickly asked if Anna Chen was alright. ¡°Are you alright? Why did you fall when you were walking? is there something on your mind?¡± Joes asked. ¡°Ah? Actually, there¡¯s nothing else. You know me. If there¡¯s anything, I¡¯ll definitely tell you. I really just identally hit that pir. ¡± ¡°What? You actually hit a pir. I thought you hit a person. ¡± Joes said in shock. ¡°If I had bumped into a person, I wouldn¡¯t have been in such a sorry state. She didn¡¯t know what she was doing at that time, but she bumped into that pir. Speaking of which, that pir was ced in a very strange way. Just how did you bump into it while walking?¡± Chen Anna said. ¡°Oh~pfft, hahahaha, Anna, I¡¯m not trying to say that you look really funny. Although my heart aches that you hit the pir, I still can¡¯t help butugh at you. At first, I thought you were hemming and hawing because you had something to tell me. I didn¡¯t expect it to be just this. Don¡¯t feel embarrassed to tell me about this. You know very well what our rtionship is. So don¡¯t hide this kind of thing from me, save me the trouble of asking you about this and that. ¡± Joes said with a smile. Chen Anna felt relieved when she saw that Qiao sisi wasn¡¯t obsessed with her previous mumbling. Fortunately, she had used her pir as an excuse to cover up the matter. ¡°Aiya, Aiya, don¡¯t tease me. I know you care about me, and I didn¡¯t want to hide it from you. It¡¯s just that I feel embarrassed to tell you. ¡± Chen Anna yfully stuck out her tongue and said with a smile. Joes smiled as she looked at Anna Chen, shaking her head helplessly. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Joes and Anna Chen looked towards the door at the same time. Joes did not know who had arrived. She looked at Anna Chen in confusion. Anna Chen stood up and walked to the door. She didn¡¯t open the door first, but asked,¡±¡±Who is it? Who¡¯s outside?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, open the door. ¡± Zheng ze¡¯s voice was heard. Chen Anna didn¡¯t want to open the door when she heard that it was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice. She remembered what had happened in thepany¡¯s cafeteria this morning. However, she didn¡¯t tell Qiao sisi about it, so she had to open the door. ¡°You may enter.¡± With that, Chen Anna opened the door. Zheng Zeyi walked in with a box of food in his hand. He sat down beside Jossi and said,¡±¡±Are you feeling better?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. You have your ownpany matters to deal with, right? Actually, you don¡¯t have to specially bring me food. You can just ask someone to bring it to me. ¡± Joesse said. Zheng Zeyi shook his head and said,¡±I¡¯ll cook if I can. There¡¯s no need to trouble others.¡± What if someone else wanted to do something bad to you? That¡¯s why it¡¯s better for me to deliver the food. ¡± Qiao si knew that she could not change Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mind at this time, but she still smiled and nodded. She said,¡±Since you want to give me food, I can¡¯t waste your good intentions. Alright, let me see what I want to eat today. ¡± Zheng ze opened the lunchbox when he saw that Qiao sisi was smiling. Chen Anna came over and looked at the lunchbox. She noticed that the food in the lunchbox was the same as the ones she saw in thepany today. Chapter 650

Chapter 650: I know what to do

¡°Oh, if I remember correctly, this is thepany¡¯s dish, right? How was it? did the food taste good?¡± Chen Anna said in a strange tone. ¡°Hmm, not bad,¡± Zheng Zeyi did not notice the sarcasm in Chen Anna¡¯s voice and only agreed. He had already eaten these dishes downstairs today and felt that they were not bad, so he brought them over for Qiao si si. ¡°Since it¡¯s not bad, then you should bring more for her to eat in the future. You must treat her well! If you let him down, I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll have to bear the consequences. ¡± Chen Anna continued to speak in a strange tone. ¡°...¡± Zheng Zeyi finally understood the enigma in Chen Anna¡¯s words. He looked at Chen Anna strangely and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s my duty to be good to her. What do you want to say?¡± Anna Chen shook her head and said with a smile,¡±Aiya Aiya, it¡¯s actually nothing much. For now, you should take good care of sisi and feed her. ¡± Although Chen Anna was smiling, her smile was a little neurotic, which made Zheng Zeyi a little confused. Why was Chen Anna so abnormal today? However, he did not care too much and continued to feed joesse with his spoon. Jossi was a little confused as she listened to the conversation between the two of them. She thought to herself,¡¯what kind of riddle are these two people ying in their hearts?¡¯ She was in the hospital during this period of time, so there were some things that she didn¡¯t know. After Qiao sisi finished her meal, Zheng Zeyi even took a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth for her. After that, he even peeled an Apple for her. Chen Anna was very confused when she saw Zheng Zeyi being so concerned about and treating Qiao si so well. Wasn¡¯t he having dinner with another woman in thepany just now? and that woman even fed him. Why did he still have the face to be so nice to Qiao si? Chen Anna really could not see through Zheng Zeyi. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi stuffed an Apple into Qiao SI¡¯s mouth and said,¡±¡±Eat slowly, no one will fight with you for this Apple.¡± ¡°If you think today¡¯s apples taste good, I¡¯ll go to their stores more often to buy you apples. As long as you want to eat them, you can tell me and I¡¯ll buy them for you.¡± ¡°Indeed, today¡¯s apples are delicious. You can bring more next time.¡± Joes was chewing on an Apple as she smiled and said, When Chen Anna saw this, she could feel the veins on her head popping out. She could not imagine that he was just being so intimate with another woman, and now he was being so intimate with this Joes. Chen Anna wished she could stand up and expose what Zheng Zeyi had done this morning. However, joesse was still in the hospital and she did not want to agitate her. She just wanted joesse to recuperate. However, she couldn¡¯t bear to see such a heartwarming scene. She stood up abruptly. Zheng Zeyi and joesse were shocked by her actions and looked at her in confusion. Chen Anna also felt a little embarrassed, but she still said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not going to be a third wheel here. I¡¯m going back first. You guys can have a good chat. ¡± Joes looked at Anna Chen suspiciously. She did not know that Anna Chen had left so early, but she still nodded. Zheng ze looked at Joes and nodded. He did not look at Anna Chen anymore and continued to peel the Apple for Joes. Chen Anna saw that Zheng Zeyi was still feeding Joes an Apple in an intimate manner. She only took a nce and left without looking back. She even mmed the door shut when she left. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her today? did she eat gunpowder or something?¡± Joesse asked in confusion. ¡°How would I know?¡± Zheng Zeyi said. Even though joesse was confused, she knew that Zheng Zeyi never cared about such things. Hence, she changed the topic and asked,¡±¡±Let¡¯s not care about her for now. How¡¯s yourpany doing?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not know why Qiao sisi would suddenly ask about hispany. Could it be that Chen Anna came to thepany today and saw him having dinner with Xu Xin, and misunderstood that he had told Qiao sisi about it? However, Zheng Zeyi was not flustered. Nothing had happened between him and Xu Xin, but he was still afraid that Qiao sisi would misunderstand him. However, judging from the way Joes asked him, she did not seem to know about this. ¡°Thepany¡¯s been doing fine recently. I¡¯m not too busy.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s good. I was afraid that you¡¯d be too busy withpany matters.¡± Joes nodded. Qiao sisi felt that since Zheng ze had the time to bring her food and even had the time to eat with her, he must not be too busy with work. She knew that Zheng ze had a hugepany under him and had a lot of things to manage, so she did not want him to be around her every day. Furthermore, Joes really wanted to be discharged from the hospital. She felt that she had almost recovered. It had been a long time since she had been exposed to the outside world, and she really wanted to go out for a walk. ¡°I want to be discharged.¡± Joes said after some thought. Zheng ze pondered for a moment when he heard joesse¡¯s words. In fact, she should be almost fully recovered since joesse had been hospitalized for such a long time. He then asked,¡±¡±How do you feel about your body? is it much better than before? If it¡¯s a lot, I¡¯ll ask the doctorter. Let¡¯s see what the doctor has to say. ¡± ¡°Alright, I feel much better recently. I¡¯m not as weak as I was before. Don¡¯t worry, I know my own body well. ¡± Joes nodded. Zheng Zeyi felt that what joesse said made sense. So he stood up and prepared to go out to find a doctor. After Zheng ze left, Joesid on the bed and stared at the White ceiling in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking. ¡°Ding-dong!¡± Joesse heard the sound of a text message from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone. She thought that it might be something rted to thepany that he needed to discuss with him. However, the phone rang a few more times, as if there was something urgent that she had to tell Zheng Zeyi. Hence, she turned her head slightly and picked up her phone to see what was so urgent that she had to send so many messages to Zheng Zeyi. However, she realized that it was a message from Xu Xin. She was a little confused. She did not know why Xu Xin had sent a message to Zheng Zeyi. Hence, she picked up her phone and saw that Xu Xin had sent a message to Zheng ze.¡±¡±The food at thepany today is delicious. Thank you for treating me to a meal.¡± Joes recalled Chen Anna¡¯s earlier words about how thepany¡¯s food would be delicious. She seemed to have suddenly realized something, but she wasn¡¯t sure.

Joes looked down at the phone in her hand. The contents of the message were ambiguous. She pursed her lips and furrowed her brows. A momentter, she deleted the letter. She turned off the phone screen and put it back in ce as if nothing had happened. Zheng Zeyi was still in the doctor¡¯s office because of her discharge. Joes dragged her shoes off the bed, walked to the window, and pulled it open with some strength. The breeze seemed to have found an air outlet and gushed into the ward. Joes was only wearing a thin hospital gown. At that moment, she shrank her neck from the wind, but she did not turn it off. She knew that it was not good to look at someone¡¯s phone. It was not appropriate behavior. Even if they were a couple, they should not look into each other¡¯s privacy. Joes crossed her arms in front of her chest, feeling a little suffocated. The text message was still lingering in her mind. Like poison, it was very lethal, and she couldn¡¯t recover from the shock for a long time. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi pushed the door open and strode in with a gentle expression.¡±¡±We¡¯ll be discharged tomorrow,¡± Jossi adjusted her emotions the moment she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice. She smiled innocently and replied sweetly,¡±¡±Yes.¡± However, she was really happy that she could finally get out of the hospital. The atmosphere in the hospital was too depressing, too silent, and too extreme. In the few days that Joes had been here, she felt that she was going to see all the illnesses and deaths in her life. There were teenagers who were crying in the hospital because they could not match their bone marrow with leukemia, or because their families could not afford the medical fees. There were also patients whose faces were covered in blood who lost their vital signs before they were sent to the emergency room. ¡­¡­ They were naked in reality, terrifying and helpless. Joes closed the window. Her face was a little red, making her look more girly. She casually picked up an orange and put down her phone. Her eyes curved, and her tone could not hide her joy,¡±¡±I can finally be discharged.¡± Seeing her like this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s mood brightened up. He rubbed the top of her head lovingly and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll take you out shopping tomorrow. ¡± Joes blinked her eyes and said happily,¡±¡±Alright. We¡¯ll go together!¡± The orange was peeled into six pieces and joesse threw them into the trash can. She then split the orange in her hand into two and handed one to Zheng Zeyi.¡±Here.¡± Zheng ze took the orange and finished it in two bites. When Joes was eating thest piece of orange, the text message suddenly shed in her mind. Suppressing her joy, she slowly finished thest orange. Her expression was calm, and her high mood seemed to fall in an instant. Naturally, Zheng Zeyi noticed the change in her mood. He raised his eyes, put his phone aside, and pretended to hug her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Joes met his dark eyes and leaned against his chest. She thought about what to say a few times before she said,¡±¡±Xu Xin ...?¡± Before he could finish, the emotions in Zheng ze¡¯s eyes changed again and again. In the end, he restrained the gentleness in his eyes and said indifferently,¡±¡±Don¡¯t ask,¡± He pushed Joes away, his lips pulled into a straight line, as if he was very reluctant to answer this question. Joes stood rooted to the ground, her eyes gradually covered by feelings of loss and sadness. Then, it gradually spread to her heart, pressing down on her until she almost couldn¡¯t breathe. A momentter, she chuckled and said,¡±what¡¯s wrong with Xu Xin? why is she so shameful?¡± You won¡¯t even tell me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. ¡± Zheng ze stood up and walked to the window. He stared at the dark sky and said,¡±sometimes, there are some questions that are not suitable to be answered.¡± The air fell silent as Zheng Zeyi¡¯sst note disappeared. The clock on the wall was ticking, and one second seemed to be a century. He would be lying if he said he didn¡¯t care. Joes lowered her eyes and did not force him to continue. She took a deep breath and was adjusting her emotions when Zheng Zeyi spoke again,¡±¡±You should rest first. You¡¯ll be discharged tomorrow. After you¡¯re well-rested, you can pack your things.¡± The two of them were not in a good mood. Joes obediently got on the bed and said coldly,¡±Oh.¡± Zheng Zeyi sighed in his heart. The weather was a little gloomy, and the wind that blew on people¡¯s faces was also mixed with coolness. Most of the branches and leaves on the trees had fallen off, and the ground was covered with golden leaves. It was the unique beauty of autumn. A gust of wind blew past, ruffling the branches and leaves on the ground. Zheng ze¡¯s legs were sore from standing. He rested for a while, and when he saw that Joes had fallen asleep, he did not stay any longer and carefully left the ward. The next morning. The sky was even darker than yesterday. Not long after joesse woke up,rge raindrops began to fall from the sky, making pitter-patter sounds as they hit the window. Joes wrapped the nket around her tightly, feeling a sense of peace and quiet. She closed her eyes and felt sleepy again. Not long after, Joes once again fell asleep apanied by the sound of the rain. Zheng ze rushed over at nineo¡¯ clock. He did not receive a reply from Joes, so she was probably still sleeping. He was carrying Joes ¡®favorite meat bun in his hand. The steam rose and ayer of white steam appeared. Not long after Zheng ze arrived, Qiao si si woke up. The woman on the bed turned over coyly, her eyes still drowsy. ¡°Eh? What are you doing here?¡± Joes rubbed her eyes, her voice still carrying a hint of fatigue. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart softened and heughed. ¡°I¡¯m here to take you home. ¡± As he spoke, he passed her the steamed bun he had bought.¡±It¡¯s still warm. Hurry up and eat.¡± Joes got out of bed, washed up, and started to eat breakfast. Zheng ze stood up and said,¡±¡±You eat first, I¡¯ll go handle the discharge procedures.¡± Joes nodded her head vigorously. The discharge procedures werepleted quickly and she returned with the form not long after. Joes finished herst bite of the bun and the two of them were about to leave when the door to the ward was pushed open. The person who hade could be considered an uninvited guest. It was Xu Xin. She revealed that loathsome smile, and her voice followed her footsteps.¡±¡±Sister has been discharged?¡± She paused and looked at Zheng Zeyi. Then, she said in a sweet voice,¡±¡±I was going to pick you up on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s behalf since I don¡¯t want him to be too tired. Just a small matter. ¡± The underlying meaning of this sentence was that she was being pretentious. Jossi¡¯s eyes shed with disgust, but she did not mind. On the other hand, Zheng ze¡¯s face was as dark as water. His expression was not clear as he said in a deep voice,¡±¡±The exit of the hospital is right in front. I won¡¯t be sending you off.¡± Xu Xin was confused by this sentence, but she was not stupid. She knew that Zheng Zeyi was chasing her away. She would only be more embarrassed if she continued to stay here. Xu Xin snorted coldly and turned to leave the hospital. Chapter 652

Zheng ze brought joesse back to the apartment from the hospital. ¡°Sisi, I have something to do at thepany. I need to go back and settle it. I¡¯ll be back after I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°Yes, you can go first.¡± Zheng ze brought joesse to her room and asked her to rest. Then, he turned around and left the room. He really wanted to stay at home to apany her, but he remembered that he still had things to deal with at thepany, so he left first. He came out of the room, closed the door gently, took his coat, and drove to thepany. He didn¡¯t think about anything else along the way. He just wanted toe back as soon as possible after he finished his work at thepany. After Zheng ze sent her back to her apartment, he left without any hesitation. Thinking about the text message she had read earlier, she was a little distracted. However, she didn¡¯t think too much about it and justy quietly on the bed. After a while, she felt sleepy and went to sleep. After Zheng Zeyi arrived at thepany, he went into his office to deal with the matters that he had to deal with. It didn¡¯t take long for his assistant toe over and tell him that elder Xu had arrived. ¡°Reporting to the president, elder Xu is here.¡± After hearing the knock on the door, Zheng ze asked his assistant toe in and heard his words. He looked up in shock. ¡°What? You said that old master Xu is here? Why would hee to thepany at this time?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that. He¡¯s waiting for you outside right now. Do you want him toe in?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it. I¡¯ll go out and see him now!¡± After Zheng ze put down the documents in his hands, he picked up his coat and put it on before walking out of the office. Seeing that elder Xu was waiting for him in the waiting room, he buttoned up his sleeves and went in. ¡°Elder Xu, why did youe to thepany to find me at this time?¡± Old master Xu, who was still inquiring about the decorations in the waiting room, turned his head and looked at Zheng Zeyi when he heard themotion. He slowly stood up from the sofa and walked in front of Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. I happen to be free today, so I brought out the contract to sign with you. Come, sit down quickly. Let¡¯s talk about the cooperation.¡± As a guest, elder Xu asked Zheng Zeyi to sit on the sofa opposite him and handed him the contract. ¡°Take a look at the contract. If you have any opinions, you can raise them.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not expect him to suddenlye to hispany to discuss a coboration. He reached out to take the contract and read it. He felt that the conditions on it were not too much. At this moment, Xu Xin, who was standing beside old master Xu, walked to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side and stared at him. ¡°Brother Zheng, you look so good when you¡¯re reading the documents. You look even more charming!¡± Zheng Zeyi did not care about Xu Xin¡¯spliments. He only wanted to sign the contract with elder Xu. Seeing that Zheng Zeyi was ignoring her, Xu Xin did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she moved closer to him. She supported her chin with both hands and looked straight at him. Seeing this scene, elder Xu naturally knew what his granddaughter was thinking. He quite liked Zheng Zeyi and hoped that the two of them would have a happy ending. ¡°Little Zheng, Yuxin is still young and clingy. I hope you can take good care of her!¡± Zheng Zeyi, who was still reading the documents, did not want to respond to Xu Xin. However, he did not expect that old master Xu would give him such an order. He was stunned as he flipped through the documents and looked up at elder Xu. He didn¡¯t say anything, but nodded in elder Xu¡¯s direction as a silent agreement. Xu Xin could tell that Zheng Zeyi was more obedient to her grandfather, so she suddenly thought of a n. ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re finally free today. Can you go shopping with me?¡± As she spoke, she walked in front of old master Xu and reached out to shake his arm. She knew that elder Xu hated shopping the most, so she was sure that elder Xu would give this task to Zheng Zeyi. Thinking of this, she was extremely excited, but her expression did not change much. She kept shaking elder Xu¡¯s arm. This sudden action shocked elder Xu. He didn¡¯t expect Xu Xin to run over and tell him that she wanted to go shopping. He reached out to hold his forehead. When he heard the word ¡®shopping¡¯, he felt his head hurt. He was already so old, how could he go shopping with a little girl? Even if he wanted to go with them, his old bones wouldn¡¯t allow it. Besides, he finally had time to rest. How could he waste his time on shopping? Just as he was having a headache, he looked at Zheng Zeyi, who was still flipping through the document in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. She thought to herself,¡±it¡¯s better to let them go out and have a walk to enhance their rtionship. Besides, shopping is something that many young people like to do.¡± ¡°Grandpa, why are you ignoring me? Wuwuwu, it¡¯s not easy for you to have time, so why don¡¯t you apany me to go shopping and buy some clothes?¡± When Xu Xin saw that elder Xu had not answered her question for a long time, she suddenly felt a headache. She thought uneasily,¡±is Grandpa going shopping with me?¡± Wouldn¡¯t that mean that his n was ruined? But soon, elder Xu¡¯s words dispelled her worries. ¡°Aiya, Yuxin, Grandpa is already so old. Why should I still go shopping with you?¡± ¡°But Grandpa, I don¡¯t have any pretty clothes to wear anymore, wuwuwu.¡± ¡°Oh, oh, oh, Yuxin, don¡¯t be sad. Grandfather isn¡¯t done yet.¡± Seeing Xu Xin wipe the corner of her eyes, elder Xu thought she was crying from sadness. He didn¡¯t expect her to be pretending. He reached out and patted Xu Xin¡¯s shoulder. He did not see the expression on her face. ¡°Wuwuwu, Grandpa, you don¡¯t love me anymore. I asked you to go shopping with me, but you refused to go. Wuwuwu~¡± ¡°Yuxin, don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry. It¡¯s not that Grandpa doesn¡¯t want to go with you. It¡¯s Grandpa who wants little Zheng to go with you so that the two young people can take care of each other. Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry. ¡± When Xu Xin heard elder Xu¡¯s words, she knew that her scheme had seeded. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. ¡°Little Zheng! I¡¯ll leave this important task to you. Please take my granddaughter out for a walk. I¡¯m too old to walk around. ¡± Zheng Zeyi, who had finished reading thest page of the document, looked up at them and was at a loss for words. Chapter 653

When elder Xu saw that Zheng Zeyi did not answer his question directly, he was afraid that he would not agree to his request, so he immediately snatched the documents from his hands. ¡°Little Zheng, as long as you agree to my request, I¡¯ll definitely give you more benefits for this cooperation. I hope that you can help me out. Just take my granddaughter to buy some clothes. ¡± Zheng Zeyi looked at elder Xu in confusion when he saw the document in his hand being snatched away. He immediately understood what elder Xu meant when he heard his words. However, he did not agree to the suggestion immediately. He did not want to go shopping with Xu Xin. He remembered that his rtionship with Qiao sisi was not harmonious because of Xu Xin. He was still brooding over this matter. Even though Qiao sisi was not by his side, he did not want to have anything to do with Xu Xin. ¡°Um ... I ...¡± ¡°Aiya, you¡¯ve been silent for so long, this old man will take it as you agree! You guys can go shopping now. ¡± Before Zheng Zeyi could finish his sentence, elder Xu pushed Xu Xin out of his arms. ¡°Alright, alright, Yuxin. Now that someone is shopping with you, don¡¯t be sad anymore.¡± Xu Xin stumbled and identally bumped into Zheng Zeyi. She was very grateful for old master Xu¡¯s action. ¡°Aiya!¡± Sheid on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s body and did not want to leave immediately. Instead, she waited until Zheng Zeyi pushed her away before she reluctantly left his arms. ¡°Men and women are different.¡± Zheng Zeyi pushed Xu Xin away indifferently. He did not expect Xu Xin to bump into his arms and not want to leave. He was disgusted by her actions. ¡°Brother Zheng, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Grandpa pushed me here.¡± ¡°Oh, Yuxin, Grandpa didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I didn¡¯t control my strength well.¡± Elder Xu knew that once Xu Xin had feelings for Zheng ze, his actions might have heated up their rtionship. ¡°Little Zheng, I¡¯ll leave Yuxin to you then. You guys go shopping!¡± ¡°No... I don¡¯t have time to go shopping with Xu Xin. I still have things to do. I have a lot of work to do today.¡± Zheng Zeyi rejected her immediately. He did not want to go shopping with Xu Xin. He still had to finish work early and go home to apany Qiao sisi. Hearing Zheng ze¡¯s rejection, Xu Xin quickly grabbed his arm. ¡°Brother Zheng, Grandpa already asked you to go shopping with me, so let¡¯s leave the work for next time! And you¡¯ve also tacitly agreed just now. You¡¯re not going back on your word, are you? Wuwuwu ...¡± Xu Xin pretended to wipe away her tears after she finished speaking. Perhaps she was too emotional, but tears really flowed out of her eyes. Zheng Zeyi was shocked by the sudden scene. He did not expect Xu Xin to cry in front of him. He didn¡¯t know what to do, so he just looked at her in a daze and didn¡¯t move. When elder Xu saw Xu Xin crying, he quickly came forward and hugged her tofort her. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry. Yuxin, don¡¯t cry. Little Zheng has already agreed to go shopping with you. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Seeing this, Zheng Zeyi could only ept his fate. He did not dare to reject anymore. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, let¡¯s go shopping!¡± After taking his coat from his seat, Zheng Zeyi went out first. Xu Xin smiled through her tears when she heard him agree. ¡°I knew brother Zheng is the best. Grandpa, we¡¯ll go shopping first!¡± Xu Xin kept up with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pace without stopping. The two of them left thepany and went shopping. After Joes woke up, she felt a little bored at home. After some thought, she took out her phone and called Chen Anna. ¡°Hey, Anna, I feel a bit bored at home. Are you free now? Why don¡¯t we go shopping?¡± ¡°Sure, sure. Let¡¯s not dy any further. We¡¯ll set off now and see you at the mall.¡± After the two of them dressed up in high spirits, they left the house and met at the shopping mall that they usually went to. The two of them were unusually excited to meet their good friends, and it was to go shopping. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m so excited. It¡¯s a rare opportunity today. I didn¡¯t expect you toe out after making an appointment.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I didn¡¯te out when you asked me out. You¡¯re right. ¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, you¡¯re right. Yo, your lipstick is pretty good today! Hurry up and rmend it to me. ¡± ¡°Do I still need to rmend this? I¡¯ll buy it for you. ¡± ¡°Ah, you¡¯re too generous. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen you so generous.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes was very unhappy. She reached out and patted Chen Anna¡¯s shoulder. ¡°What are you saying? we¡¯re good sisters. We should naturally share good things together.¡± ¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll buy it for you when the timees. Let¡¯s go shopping first. The weather is rare.¡± ¡°Go, go, go, go.¡± The two of them walked into the mall hand in hand. However, they had only been shopping for a while when they saw Zheng Zeyi and Xu Xin walking together in the mall. Upon seeing this, Qiao sisi suddenly recalled that Zheng Zeyi had rushed out of his house today to apany Xu Xin shopping. Looking at the two of them so close to each other, she felt that it was especially ring, and at the same time, she felt that her existence was particrly funny. When Anna Chen saw this, she secretly observed the expression on Joes¡¯s face. She could feel that Joes was a little sad. She rushed to the front and wanted to argue with Zheng ze, but she was pulled back by Jossi before she could even take two steps. ¡°Anna, forget it! Let¡¯s go shopping again another day. Let¡¯s go back for today!¡± ¡°But ...¡± ¡°No buts, let¡¯s go!¡± Joes pulled Anna Chen back and the two of them retraced their steps. She did not want to argue with Zheng Zeyi in public. Chen Anna was very reluctant. She followed joesse back, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to go shopping with Xu Xin in public. Did he think that Qiao sisi did not exist? After Joes pulled her out of the shopping mall and was about to go home ... Chen Anna felt that she needed to tell her what she had seen before. After all, Qiao sisi had already seen Zheng zeying and Xu Xin shopping together. Chen Anna had originally nned to find a suitable time to tell Joes about this matter. Since she had bumped into her today, she might as well tell her about it. She pulled Joes back and exined everything that she had seen in the hospital. He had thought that he was wrong, but he did not expect to see such a scene today. ¡°Sisi, I think you should seriously consider this matter.¡± Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Chapter 655-What time is it?

When Joes suddenly heard about this matter, she was slightly surprised at that moment. She had never expected this to happen. But since this person had already said so, what should she do? He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was also very blue. No matter what, he should believe in Zheng Zeyi instead of not believing in him. After all, their rtionship was still there. ¡°I have nothing to say anyway. I still have things to do, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Even Joes had said those words in a hurry so that she could leave this ce as soon as possible, and not to continue listening to this person¡¯s nonsense. The moment he said that, the person in front of him also saw the look in Joes¡¯s eyes. He knew that Joes was a little flustered at the moment and felt that she was very pitiful. He had already said what he needed to say. Since this person didn¡¯t want to believe him, why remind him? ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I can¡¯t say anything more. I just hope that you¡¯ll be careful. I¡¯m just giving you a kind reminder.¡± Chen Anna said this with a little disappointment. She did not expect that Joes would actually be so stupid. However, on second thought, perhaps it was because Joes did not want to believe it, so she did not say anything more at this final moment. ¡°I already know what your intentions are, so don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely do my best. You should go home early too. After all, it¡¯s gettingte.¡± Anna Chen nodded her head to show that she understood. In the end, Joes also left the ce. She was also a little flustered. After all, Chen Anna¡¯s words kept echoing in her mind. In the end, a taxi driver passed by him and stopped when he saw that he was a little dazed. ¡°A youngdy should be on the main road. Don¡¯t be so distracted. What should we do if you get hit by a car again?¡± After she said that, Joes felt that she should be able to take a taxi home now. Why not take the taxi driver¡¯s car? ¡°Master, can you send me back?¡± The taxi driver had also sensed that Joes was not in a good mood. Hence, he was a little stunned at this point, but he still agreed. However, on the other side, Zheng Zeyi was also shopping with Xu Xin. Zheng Zeyi was also a little reluctant to send Xu Xin back. Xu Xin saw the clothing store and dragged Zheng Zeyi into it. Xu Xin had the same smile on her face as well. She even picked a white dress that looked simr to Qiao sisi¡¯s dress. Zheng ze could not help but think of Qiao sisi. What was Joes doing at this moment? they had been thinking about this in their hearts. When they recalled Joes¡¯s smile, they could not help but lose their minds. ¡°Hey, what do you think of this dress? I think this dress suits me very well. If I were to wear this whitece dress, it would also make my figure look better. ¡± When Zheng Zeyi still did note back to his senses, Xu Xin was a little unhappy. She directly walked in front of Zheng Zeyi and shook him. Zheng Zeyi quickly regained his senses. He did not expect Xu Xin¡¯s face to be so dark. When she saw the dress in his hand, she praised it. ¡°Your dress is very pretty and it matches you very well. You¡¯ll look very good in it when you turn around.¡± After Zheng Zeyi said this, he was also speechless. Although Xu Xin could tell that Zheng Zeyi was just patronizing her, she still thought about it at the end. It was already a great honor for him to be willing to apany her shopping. Why should she ask for more? ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll buy this dress. After all, I like it very much.¡± In order to show that he was listening to him, Zheng Zeyi kept nodding like a robot. The surrounding staff couldn¡¯t help but praise when they saw the scene in front of them. ¡°As expected, they are a perfect match.¡± Zheng Zeyi quickly exined that they were not a couple. On the other hand, Xu Xin was very happy. Hence, she walked straight to them and expressed that she felt the same way. Zheng Zeyi and Xu Xin were speechless. The two of them had been walking on the street for a long time. Zheng ze saw that it was almost time, so he thought that it was time to send Xu Xin back. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Why don¡¯t I send you home? it¡¯s not good to stay here. What do you think?¡± After he said that, Xu Xin was a little unhappy. Even though the time was almost the same, she still wanted to stay with Zheng Zeyi for a while. ¡°Let¡¯s go eat. After all, I¡¯m already hungry. Besides, we¡¯ve been shopping for so long. It¡¯s not a big deal to have a meal. It¡¯s still early. What do you think?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he felt his head hurt. He had wanted to send him back just now, but now he felt that he was dreaming. ¡°But I still have mine in the present.¡± He did not expect to be pulled away by Xu Xin before he could even finish his sentence. Her daughter pulled Zheng ze along and walked straight ahead. She already had some ideas. Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to apany this woman for a meal. In an instant, he felt that this woman was simply very annoying, and she even gave him a headache. Unexpectedly, it was alreadyte at night. Zheng Zeyi had already finished his meal with this woman and was nning to return home. When he returned home, he had been very careful not to turn on the lights. In the end, when he turned on the lights, he saw Jossi sitting on the sofa and staring at him. Jossi nced at the clock on the wall. She did not expect that this person would only return after so long. Zheng Zeyi was also a little shocked and a little flustered. He did not expect that joesse was still awake, so he asked carefully in the end. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet? What time is it already?¡± Chapter 655

Chapter 655: Chapter 656-returning sote

Upon hearing those words, Joes suddenly felt a sense of ridicule. He actually dared to ask her why she was still up sote? she should not have asked him. She couldn¡¯t tell that she was waiting for him toe back. When she saw the panic on his face, she felt that he was lying to her. ¡°Actually, I also want to know why you¡¯re back sote. I¡¯m just sitting here to wait for you, but it¡¯s already midnight.¡± She didn¡¯t expect Zheng Zeyi to return sote. It was already midnight, and yet he only returned. This was very suspicious. When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately looked at the clock on the wall. He did not expect it to be 1:30 in the morning, so he was so surprised that he did not know what to do. He thought that it would only be 8 or 9 o¡¯ clock when he returned, but it was already midnight. Zheng Zeyi saw that Qiao sisi had been staring at him, so he said that. In the end, he did not want Qiao sisi to misunderstand him. When he recalled how that woman had been pestering him today, he suddenly felt a headache. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his head, which was why he had agreed to have dinner with her and go shopping with her. ¡°Actually, I just apanied someone to do some things today. These things are not very important, so you don¡¯t have to think too much about it.¡± The moment Joes heard this, she felt that this person was just patronizing her. She felt that this person seemed to be hiding something, which was why she had been asking him this question at this final moment. ¡°Are you sure you only apanied one person today? I really want to know who you went with. You can¡¯t keep this from me. After all, we¡¯re close. ¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi did not know how to answer the question. His heart was in a mess, and he suddenly felt a pain in his head. ¡°I just went to apany a friend. It¡¯s just an ordinary friend. Why are you overthinking it? Don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild. It¡¯s gettingte, I should go to bed early. ¡± Qiao sisi did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be hiding something for that person. This meant that this person was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, why would Zheng Zeyi help her hide it? ¡°In that case, I¡¯m a little sleepy, so I¡¯ll go to bed. You should go to bed early too. After all, I think you¡¯ll have to take a shower when youe back.¡± Joes also acted as if nothing had happened. She simply yawned and turned around without even looking back. He had been thinking about something in his heart, but he did not tell Zheng Zeyi about it. Zheng Zeyi saw that joesse had turned her head away and was yawning. There was no expression on her face. He had only asked a few more questions earlier, so he decided to tell joesse now. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m going to take a shower. You can go to bed.¡± Qiao si si tried her best to appear calm and told Zheng Zeyi to hurry up and take a shower as it was gettingte. In the end, joesse was already lying on the bed, tossing and turning as she thought about something. She wanted to know who Zheng Zeyi had left with today. Why did he hide something from me? and was what Chen Anna said true? They did not know why, but at that moment, they all felt a little bitter. In the past, she had always thought that Zheng Zeyi would not hide anything from her. However, she now realized that not only would Zheng Zeyi hide things from her, he would also find some excuses to brush her off. Zheng Zeyi was also trying his best at this moment. Without thinking too much, he went to find his bathrobe and went to the toilet to take a bath. While he was taking a bath, he was also thinking about whether Qiao sisi was overthinking it. However, when he thought about Joes¡¯s expression, he felt that Joes probably did not think too much about it. If she did, she would not have left so calmly and went to sleep obediently. Instead, she would have quarreled with him. ¡°Forget it, forget it.¡± Zheng Zeyi had been taking a shower in the toilet. When he recalled what had happened today, he instantly felt a headache. If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have gone to have dinner with this woman. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a headache when he thought of the woman¡¯s coquettish appearance. Qiao si had been thinking about something in her mind. She was thinking about where Zheng Zeyi had gone today. However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn¡¯t figure out anything. Thinking back, Zheng Zeyi had treated her so well in the past, but today, his attitude towards her had taken a 360-degree turn. It was already sote. Could he have really gone out to fool around with that woman? He had been tossing and turning on the bed, and at this time, he touched his stomach and muttered to himself. ¡°Baby, do you think your daddy doesn¡¯t love your mommy anymore? Why did you hide this from your mother today? And you came back sote. ¡± However, he didn¡¯t expect that no one would respond to him. Moreover, the seats were very quiet at this time, and even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard clearly. As soon as Zheng ze took a shower in the bathroom, he would use the cold water to wash himself in order to calm himself down. Thinking back, from Joes¡¯s expression earlier, he had a feeling that Joes had discovered something. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn¡¯t think of anything. Joesse could not fall asleep even though she was lying on the bed. Hence, she sat up and leaned against the wall. Suddenly, she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone light up. It was already sote, so who was the one who had sent him the message? Therefore, he took Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone and saw the two words on the WeChat. ¡°Xu Xin,¡± It was obviously a woman¡¯s name, and they knew that the message was sent by this woman. Chapter 656

Chapter 656: Just stay at home

Trantor: 549690339

Joesse looked at the message and saw that it was written as well. ¡°Which one of these clothes do you think looks better?¡± There were a few pictures of clothes attached below, and one of them was simr to one of her dresses. There was a strange look in her eyes, but it disappeared very quickly. She did not know why Zheng Zeyi¡¯s phone had this woman¡¯s WeChat and she had sent such a message. Zheng Zeyi also walked out in a bathrobe at this time. His figure was very good, and he was tall enough. He immediately saw Joes holding his phone and looking at something. He quickly walked over. When joesse saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s flustered expression, she knew that Zheng Zeyi was also information to this woman. It seemed that he had hidden so many things because of this woman. ¡°At that time, this woman was just ...¡± He did not know why, but after saying such words, he did not know how to continue. Zheng Zeyi was also baffled and felt a little embarrassed. Qiao sisi did not say a word and just stared at Zheng Zeyi. She wanted to see what Zheng Zeyi was going to say. After all, looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s flustered look, he should be feeling guilty. It seemed like he was indeed hiding something from her. ¡°This woman is just a friend. Therefore, you don¡¯t need to care too much about her. She¡¯s just asking for my opinion. So this is very normal, don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. ¡± Zheng Zeyi sat in front of Qiao si and said these words in a gentle voice. He was afraid that Qiao si would overthink things. What would he do if she overthought things? ¡°So that¡¯s what happened? I¡¯m just a friend asking you about your clothes. Why would I mind? I¡¯m not a cheapskate, don¡¯t you think?¡± Joes put on a fake smile and said that. She even nced at Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi felt that there was something strange about Joes, but he did not know where to start. ¡°Are you really not angry? And they don¡¯t even me me?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked tentatively. His voice was very careful when he said this, as he was afraid that joesse would throw a pillow at him if he was not careful. ¡°Why should I be angry? You said it yourself just now that he¡¯s just a friend, so why should I be angry? wouldn¡¯t I be angry at myself if I were to be angry?¡± Just like that, Qiao sisiid on the bed and ced her phone in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hands. Zheng Zeyi instantly felt a headache. Why did he have to send a message at this time? It just so happened that joesse saw it. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clear his name. He could not help but feel a little headache. He took the phone and turned it off. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, so you should sleep early. I thought you were already asleep when I came over.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse could not help but ask,¡±could it be that you really want me to fall asleep quickly?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not, I ...¡± Zheng Zeyi could not help but stammer. ¡°It seems like you need to practice speaking. I didn¡¯t expect you to be unable to speak through a sentence like this and even stammer.¡± Joes said this without any expression. Zheng Zeyi was speechless. He did not know how to reply to Qiao si si. Why did he feel that Qiao si si had a venomous tongue? ¡°Do you really not care about what happened just now? Actually, that woman just now was my friend. ¡± Jossi felt that Zheng Zeyi had been repeatedly emphasizing that this person was his friend. He was hoping that she would think that this person was his friend. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I don¡¯t mind. Why do you have to keep emphasizing this issue? If you continue to emphasize it, I¡¯ll really start overthinking it. ¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he hurriedly shut his mouth and ced his phone on the cab. He turned off the lights andy on the bed, nning to hug Jossi to sleep. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me. ¡± Joes said this directly and kept a certain distance from Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi could feel the estrangement and knew that Joes must be holding a grudge against him now. Otherwise, why would she keep such a distance from him? Zheng Zeyi felt extremely embarrassed as well. He did not expect that joesse would really reject him. In the past, joesse would never reject him. With his strong attitude, he hugged Joes once again, but he did not expect that Joes would be able to break away from him again. He did not expect Joes to be so direct and tell him in such a perfunctory manner. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll crush the child. ¡± Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to keep a certain distance from him and not touch it again. At this moment, he took another look at the photos and messages that the woman had sent. ¡°Damn it, if it wasn¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t be in such a miserable state.¡± He did not feel this way at all. He had never thought that because of a woman, he would end up with his wife. There was already a barrier between the two of them. After taking another look at this person¡¯s moments, he decided to block this person. Xu Xin did not expect that Zheng Zeyi would not reply to her message. He had checked his phone many times, but there was no reply. In the end, he could only fall asleep. Time passed by. The next day, Zheng Zeyi woke up very early, but he did not expect that Qiao sisi was not there. When he arrived outside the kitchen, he saw that Joes had already prepared breakfast. He was very touched. In the end, he just ate the breakfast that Joes had prepared for him. His heart was filled with sweetness for a moment, and all his unhappiness disappeared. He looked at the time and felt that it was time to go to thispany. ¡°I¡¯m going to thispany, so you should stay at home.¡± Chapter 657

Chapter 657: Chapter 658-did you miss me?

Trantor: 549690339

After Qiao si heard this, she knew that Zheng ze was nning to go to thepany. For some reason, she felt a little disappointed. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, ¡°I want you to apany me to the checkup. Are you willing toe with me?¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he nodded and agreed without even turning his head. He expressed that he would apany him to the meeting. He was also looking forward to the birth of the child in his stomach. After all, it was his first time being a father. He suddenly recalled something, so he turned around and walked to Joes, nting a kiss on her forehead. ¡°You have to sit here properly and don¡¯t run around. If there¡¯s anything, just call me directly. Also, you must finish this breakfast. After all, this is a nutritious breakfast and it¡¯s very helpful for your body.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this very gently. Qiao si suddenly recalled the time when Zheng Zeyi was not with her. Joes¡¯s face also revealed a very happy smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine and eat all these things. You should hurry to thepany now. If you¡¯rete, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll miss out on a lot of things, and it will cause other trouble.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately reassured joesse. He knew what to do, so he left the ce happily and went to thepany. However, she did not expect to see Xu Xin as soon as she entered the president¡¯s office. She walked over with breakfast in her hands. ¡°Good Morning, I brought you breakfast.¡± Xu Xin took the breakfast and walked to Zheng Zeyi. She ced the breakfast in front of him and poured him a cup of warm water. After all, drinking warm water in the morning was beneficial to his body. She recalled that after she returned homest night, all the messages she sent to Zheng Zeyi were asking her which clothes looked better on her. However, she did not expect Zheng Zeyi to not reply to her in the end. ¡°I just want to know one thing. Why didn¡¯t you reply to my message yesterday? I sent you a messagest night. You shouldn¡¯t be asleep at that time, right? why didn¡¯t you reply to me?¡± Xu Xin was also very puzzled. Zheng ze would usually reply to her messages. Why did he not reply at that time? It made her feel a little lost. Zheng Zeyi did not want to pay attention to this person at all. He only hoped that this person would leave this ce quickly and not be an eyesore. She recalled some of the things that had happened in the past and felt that she could not chase him away. She had only cklisted him in front of joessest night. That was because there was still a child in Joes ¡®stomach. If anything were to happen to the child, the consequences would be unimaginable. Joes could not afford to let the child be harmed. Xu Xin did not expect Zheng Zeyi to not reply to her, so she could only bear with it in the end. Since it was already like this, what else could she do? she couldn¡¯t keep asking him questions, right? he would get annoyed if she asked too much. ¡°Since you¡¯re not willing to reply to me, I think you have your own difficulties. Since you have your own difficulties, I won¡¯t ask you anything.¡± Seeing that the woman didn¡¯t say anything else, he let out a sigh of relief. If she said anything more, he might be driven mad. ¡°But since you don¡¯t want to talk to me, I¡¯ll just feed you breakfast. Since you¡¯re here so early, you probably haven¡¯t had breakfast yet. Look, I¡¯m quite nice to you. After all, no one else has this treatment. I even treated you this way and made you breakfast.¡± Xu Xin¡¯s eyes were also filled with a gentle smile. She opened the breakfast as soon as she said that. She had woken up very early to make breakfast. She had cooked a congee with preserved egg and lean meat. After all, congee in the morning was good for the body, so she also wanted to make him better. Her goal was to make him feel happy and touched. When he opened the box, he didn¡¯t expect that the box would still be steaming. Just like that, the congee was taken out of the oven. Zheng Zeyi had already eaten this breakfast. He did not expect this person to make this breakfast again. He had to admit that this woman was indeed very considerate. Unfortunately, no matter how considerate she was, she could notpare to Qiao si. In Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart, there was only Qiao si. Everyone else was just floating clouds. The morning breeze blew gently, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of the grass on thewn outside. Xu Jing went forward to feed Zheng ze breakfast. Coincidentally, joesse had arrived at the same time. She did not expect to see the scene in front of her. She was already surprised. She did not expect to return sotest night. It must have been because of this woman. ¡°Ha, it seems that all of this is my own wishful thinking. I actually wanted you to apany me to the prenatal examination. I¡¯m just dreaming. It¡¯s enough for you to apany this woman right now.¡± She muttered to herself and left. Because no matter how angry he was, he felt that he couldn¡¯t lose the baby in his stomach. At the same time, he felt that it would be inconvenient to go to the hospital alone, so he decided to call Chen Anna. Chen Anna was doing something here when she suddenly heard the toot sound of the phone. When he took out his phone, he did not expect that it would be Jossi calling him. He was a little puzzled. ¡°Sisi, why are you calling me so early in the morning? Did you miss me?¡± ¡°Come with me to the prenatal examination.¡± The moment he heard the word ¡®prenatal examination¡¯, he was puzzled. He did not know what Qiao sisi meant. Didn¡¯t she mean that there was Zheng Zeyi? Why did he have to apany her for a checkup? for some reason, he had a bad feeling. Chapter 658

Chapter 658: How¡¯s Madam?

Trantor: 549690339

Chen Anna was very confused. Why didn¡¯t Zheng zee with joesse? Instead, he let a pregnantdy like Jossi go to the hospital by herself. ¡°I really want to know where Zheng Zeyi is. Why didn¡¯t he apany you to the hospital? why did you ask me to apany you?¡± Joes already knew that Chen Anna would ask such a question, so she was direct at this moment. There was a different look in her eyes, but there was a sense of loss in her heart. But on the surface, he pretended that he didn¡¯t mind and even had a smile on his face. No matter what, this matter had already happened. Even if she was angry now, what could she do? she couldn¡¯t possibly be angry and let Zheng Zeyi appear here at this time. ¡°He¡¯s still busy, so he doesn¡¯t have time to apany me. I called you and asked you to apany me to the checkup. ¡± When Chen Anna heard this, she already knew that Joes was just patronizing her. But no matter what, since Joes had already said it, what could she do now? ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± That was because Joes had already casually brushed him off, so what else could he do? Hence, in this final moment, he decided to apany Joes to the hospital. However, at this time, Zheng Zeyi was busy in the office when he suddenly saw his Secretary knocking on the door and walking in. ¡°Do you have any documents to put here? If you have any documents, just put them on my desk and I¡¯ll sign themter. ¡± At this moment, the Secretary wondered if her CEO was an idiot. The president¡¯s wife was here just now, but the president didn¡¯t pay attention to her or was busy with work. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯te here to give you any documents. I came here to talk to you about something,¡± After he said this, Zheng Zeyi was also a little confused. He did not know what Zong Ren was going to say, so he kept staring at the person in front of him. ¡°Actually, the president¡¯s wife was also here just now. I came here to tell you. Did you see the president¡¯s wife?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, the document in his hand fell to the ground. He did not expect that joesse would be here. ¡°When did hee here? howe I didn¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve only been here for ten minutes. I thought he woulde to find you, but I didn¡¯t expect you to still be busy here. He also left in a rage.¡± The Secretary could still remember how Jossi had left in a Huff even now. She could not help but feel a little helpless. Fortunately, she had seen it. ¡°You said that she left in a fit of anger?¡± However, as soon as he said this, the Secretary nodded his head. Zheng Zeyi suddenly remembered something very important. However, this morning, he had promised Jossi that he would apany her to the prenatal examination. In the end, he had forgotten everything the moment he arrived at thepany. Perhaps it was because of that woman in the morning that he had forgotten everything and had to apany Jossi to the prenatal examination. ¡°I actually forgot such an important thing. I¡¯m really confused. No wonder I¡¯m so angry. Help me pick up these documents from the floor and put them on the table. I¡¯ll deal with them when Ie backter.¡± After saying this, Zheng Zeyi hurriedly took the car keys and left thepany. When the employees saw Zheng Zeyi running so quickly, they were all a little puzzled. ¡°How do you think the president ran away? It¡¯s even faster than this rabbit. ¡± ¡°Who knows why the president is running away so happily? Could something have happened? No matter what happened, it happened. We are just small employees, so we should do what we should do. ¡± After he said that, the employee nodded his head. Zheng Zeyi had left thepany and returned to this house. He did not expect the vi to be empty. There was no one at all, so he was a little puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is there no one here all of a sudden?¡± Zheng Zeyi mumbled to himself. He was also very confused as to why there was no one there all of a sudden. Hence, she hurriedly dialed her own phone and dialed Joes ¡®number. However, no one picked up. ¡°When did you get your way? I didn¡¯t expect you to forget what you promised Joes just like that. You¡¯ve really gone overboard.¡± At this moment, he couldn¡¯t help but want to p himself a few times, because he was no different from this bastard. His call to Joes did not go through, so he drove straight to the hospital without stopping for a rest. When they arrived at the hospital, Joes came out after a check-up. When the doctors saw Zheng Zeyi, they immediately walked up to him with anger in their eyes. ¡°Young people should be more responsible. His wife came to this hospital without her husband¡¯spany.¡± Zheng Zeyi knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not say a word. Instead, he stood there obediently. He knew that it was his fault, and it did not matter even if he was scolded by the doctor. ¡°It¡¯s indeed my fault. I also hope that you won¡¯t be so angry, doctor. I want to see how my wife is doing.¡± Zheng Zeyi said the same thing and walked in front of Qiao si, but Qiao SI¡¯s eyes were cold as ice. This was because Zheng Zeyi did not even remember Qiao sisi. She was going to apany him to the prenatal examination today. Furthermore, she was being lovey-dovey with that woman in this office. When he thought of that, he was very angry. ¡°Is your body alright? also, did you find any problems during the checkup just now? Why don¡¯t I send you home now? after all, I think you¡¯re almost done with your problem. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said this directly with a different look in his eyes. The moment joesse heard that Zheng Zeyi was nning to send her home, she immediately rejected him because she did not need him to do so. Chapter 659

Suddenly, just as Zheng Zeyi was about to say something, he heard his toot ring. His expression changed instantly. ¡°Dammit, what¡¯s going on? Why did the phone ring all of a sudden?¡± It really was better to bete than toe at the right time. However, the phone had already rung, so there was a different look in their eyes. They didn¡¯t know what to do next. He didn¡¯t want to answer the call, so he hung up. However, he didn¡¯t expect another call. He was a little impatient, so he had to answer the call. ¡°President, you have an urgent meeting to attend. I wonder where you are. After all, the shareholders are already here and you¡¯re the only one left.¡± At this moment, the assistant called him directly because the people here were already here. ¡°So it¡¯s like this? Since there¡¯s this meeting, you can wait for me for a while orter. I¡¯ll be back when I¡¯m done. I still have something to do right now. Can you wait for me for three hours?¡± He still wanted to spend more time with her. Joes was not willing to leave Joes at all. The moment he thought of Joes, he felt a little sad without him. He only hoped that he could spend more time with Joes when he was present. As for other things, he did not think too much about them. No matter what would happen next, since some things had already happened, they could only take it one step at a time. ¡°No, these people are already here. If youe back in three hours, they¡¯ll be very angry.¡± At this time, the man said this helplessly. He felt a little pain in his heart and did not know what to do. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi turned around to take a look. This Qiao si saw Qiao si, but at this moment, there was no expression on her face. However, her heart was also in pain, and she did not know how to exin it. Because when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s current state, she felt extremely ufortable. ¡°I still have a meeting to attend in thispany, so Chen Anna, you have to send him back. You have to send him back and make sure he¡¯s safe, understand?¡± Even now, this person was extremely serious when he said those words. He hoped that this person would be able to send Joes back safely. However, they did feel that what they had done was a little too much. But no matter what, thepany had some things to do now, so they could only leave at thest moment to deal with thepany¡¯s problems. ¡°You can go and do your own things first. I will send Jossi home, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± Chen Anna. They said this without hesitation. After they said this, they no longer paid any attention to Zheng Zeyi. Instead, they looked directly at Qiao si. He had a feeling that Joes was hiding something from him, but he did not know that she was hiding it from him. He could not help but feel a little suspicious. Hence, he had been thinking about how he should ask Joes about this matter with a heartache. After all, there were some things that he had to ask. After Zheng Zeyi left, joesse also took a look at the direction that Zheng Zeyi was heading. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly. ¡°Actually, I want to know something. I hope that you won¡¯t hide anything from me now. After all, there¡¯s no need to hide anything between the two of us. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You don¡¯t have to hide anything too much. After all, our rtionship is clear.¡± When Joes heard this, she understood what he meant. However, sometimes, it was not something she could decide on her own. Hence, she decided to tell the person in front of her in the end. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me before? Now that something like this has happened, you¡¯re telling me? you¡¯re as stupid as a pig. If something like this happens again in the future, you should tell me instead of hiding it. ¡± Chen Anna had already said that in anger. She was also very angry in her heart. She had never thought that Joes would suffer so much here. ¡°I know how to do this now. You can¡¯t me me anymore. After all, it has already happened.¡± Joes said this sentence with a tired voice. Chen Anna could not help but hug Joes at this moment. She felt that Joes was no different from this fool. Why would she do such a thing for this person? Those who didn¡¯t felt extremely ufortable in their hearts. Moreover, in the past, she only thought that Zheng Zeyi was a pretty good person, so she tried to match him with Qiao sisi. However, in the end, she realized that she had been blind. If she had not been blind, this situation would not have turned out like this. ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m already familiar with this matter, so you don¡¯t have the right to stay here and do such a thing. Besides, I¡¯m fine.¡± Joes said this sentence very gently because she was already used to it. Moreover, the thing she cared about the most was the baby in her stomach. ¡°I never thought that Zheng Zeyi would be this kind of person. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have done that in the past.¡± Chen Anna was filled with regret. If she had known that things would turn out this way, she would not have done what she did. Unfortunately, there was no turning back now. However, no matter what, since Zheng Zeyi had gone overboard, she had to seek justice for Joes. Hence, she turned around and left in the end, intending to seek justice for Joes. No matter what, he was still Joes ¡®best friend. He was the only one who could actually seek justice for Joes. He wanted to see what Zheng Zeyi had in mind. Chapter 660

¡°You don¡¯t have to ask about this matter anymore. No matter what, you don¡¯t have to care about it anymore. What can I do on my own? right now, I just want to take care of my baby.¡± Even now, Joes was saying this very seriously, hoping that this person would not bother about so many things. However, this person was extremely angry at this moment. He had never expected that joesse would suddenly say such a thing. Furthermore, they were also feeling very puzzled in their hearts. They had never expected that Joes would actually put up with this matter. If it were in the past, how could Joes possibly put up with this matter? Therefore, they felt that Joes had suffered a lot and their hearts ached for her. If they could start all over again, they would definitely not let Joes suffer such a grievance. ¡°I feel that in the middle of summer, I only need to take good care of this child and let it be born. This child is also a small life.¡± Even now, this person did not hesitate to say this sentence, and there was a strange look in his eyes. However, this expression quickly disappeared without a trace. ¡°But don¡¯t you think that what you¡¯re doing now is not worth it? Why did he hurt her for this? It¡¯s obviously not worth it, but you have to do something that will hurt yourself. ¡± After Joes heard this, she could not help but look at her t stomach. ¡°Actually, I only care about the child in my stomach. I don¡¯t care about anything else. After all, I can only make other ns after giving birth to the child. I can¡¯t just abort the child, can I?¡± Because this child was also a small life. He would definitely not give up this small life like this. ¡°Although I really want to persuade you, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s of any use now, so I don¡¯t n on doing that.¡± Chen Anna had been with this person for a long time, so she already knew what to do. Since this person had already said this, she had nothing to persuade him, because he would not listen to her even if she persuaded him too much. They had been together for so long, so they knew each other¡¯s personality. Since this person had already said this, he could only continue. She supported her best friend silently behind her back so that she could help him when he was in trouble, not when she was unable to help him. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t ask you anything. However, I still want to know one thing.¡± When Qiao sisi heard her best friend¡¯s words, she would also nod her head and express that she would be willing to tell Chen Anna anything that she knew. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not asking for much. I just want to know Xu Xin¡¯s identity. Do you know?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes recalled the woman¡¯s appearance and her expression changed drastically. ¡°I seem to know a little about this woman¡¯s identity, but I don¡¯t know everything, so I don¡¯t know how to tell you.¡± Even now, Joes had said this thoughtfully. She was indeed not very clear about this person¡¯s identity. She only had a rough idea, and did not know if it was true or not. ¡°Tell me as much as you know. Whether what you know is true or not, you just need to tell me about this. You don¡¯t have to worry too much about the rest. Leave it to me.¡± Chen Anna said this without hesitation. No matter what happened, she would help him solve it. In the end, Joes seriously thought about it in her mind and told her everything in detail. After finding out what had happened, Anna Chen took another look at the sky outside. Since Joes had been busy for so long today, it would be better for her to go back and rest. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll send you back first. After all, it¡¯s not appropriate for a pregnant woman like you to stay here. I¡¯ll send you back first.¡± Joesse nodded but did not say anything else. She was thinking to herself that no matter what Zheng Zeyi did next, it had nothing to do with her. He was free to do whatever he wanted. There was only one thing he wanted to do now, and that was to give birth to the child in his stomach. Only after the child was born could he resolve other matters. Chen Anna immediately sent Joes back safely. When she saw that Joes had already entered the door, she heaved a sigh of relief. At least for now, Joes had already returned. Since he had already returned, he could now do what he wanted to do. At this time, he had already made a phone call to his own people and asked them to find out the address of this person. The purpose was to know where this person had gone. Therefore, they were a little puzzled at this time. They really wanted to know where this person¡¯s home was, as long as they knew his home. Wouldn¡¯t it be a piece of cake for him to do what he was going to do next? Therefore, they had already sent people to investigate this person¡¯s address. After knowing where this person was, they decided to visit him in person in the future. He had already driven to Xu Xin¡¯s ce. When he arrived, he knocked on the door. Xu Xin was busy with something when she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door. She was puzzled and did not know what was going on. He went to open the door. He didn¡¯t expect Chen Anna toe here. He was very confused. He didn¡¯t know what this person¡¯s purpose was. ¡°Actually, I also want to know what you¡¯re nning to do here.¡± Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Don¡¯t disturb him anymore

¡°Actually, my purpose foring here is very simple. I just want to know one thing. What is your rtionship with Zheng Zeyi?¡± Chen Anna had already asked this question directly. She really wanted to know what the rtionship between this person and Zheng Zeyi was. She was also very confused. Since Joes was not willing to question this person, he might as well ask this person himself. Furthermore, as Jossi¡¯s best friend, they naturally had the right toe here and ask about this woman¡¯s appearance. They were also very upset. They had never thought that there would be such a thick-skinned person in this world. ¡°Do you know what¡¯s the most shocking thing about you? It¡¯s just that you¡¯re really thick-skinned. ¡± Chen Anna was very calm. No matter what, she still had to say it, because she was not convinced. Xu Xin could not help but start to mock her. She did not expect this person toe here and ask about her rtionship with Zheng Zeyi. In the end, Qiao sisi did not dare toe personally. She found it a little ridiculous. ¡°I¡¯ve never thought that there was something so funny. You want to ask me about my rtionship with Zheng Zeyi, but I don¡¯t think you have the right to do so. You should be the one asking this Joes toe here and ask me, not you. After all, you¡¯re just an outsider.¡± This was because only this Qiao si and Zheng Zeyi had such a rtionship. In that case, Qiao si should be the one asking questions here, not him. ¡°The reason why Joes was unwilling toe here is because she¡¯s currently recuperating from her pregnancy. Naturally, she wouldn¡¯te here and waste her breath on you. After all, wouldn¡¯t she be angering herself if she were to talk to you here? That¡¯s why I¡¯m here in his ce. ¡± Xu Xin remained unmoved after hearing his words. She did not even put this person in her eyes. He was just a person. Otherwise, what else could he do? moreover, this person was a dispensable existence to him. What kind of wish did he have to stay here? he might as well leave quickly. ¡°Actually, I want to tell you one thing. Don¡¯t meddle in our Affairs, because you can¡¯t meddle in it.¡± Anna Chen did not believe in this. No matter what, she only cared about getting this person away from Zheng Zeyi as soon as possible. She did not want to say anything to Zheng Zeyi. After all, he was not worthy of it. Moreover, it was a sin to disturb their rtionship like this. ¡°Are you saying that when you¡¯re here, hou is not willing to leave Zheng ze and his wife?¡± She did not expect that after she said this, Xu Xin would nod and agree without hesitation. She was indeed unwilling to leave Zheng Zeyi because she really liked him. ¡°No matter what you think, I just want to warn you to stay away from Zheng Zeyi. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you off. I¡¯m a man of my words. I¡¯ve already said it.¡± Xu Xin hated people who threatened her the most. When she saw this person threatening her, she was a little angry. However, no matter how angry she was, she could not do anything. He had always felt that the person in front of him was arrogant and overbearing. He was no match for him at all. He had no choice but to give up on the final benefits. He had never thought that he would be taught a lesson by someone one day. He would not believe it even if he told others. Zheng Zeyi was very busy in thepany. After he was done with some things, he felt that he should hurry back to see joesse. He wondered how joesse¡¯s prenatal examination report was today. When they came back, they saw Joes sitting on the sofa, deep in thought. Zheng Zeyi had some doubts in his heart as he did not know what Joes was thinking about at this moment. He could not help but feel worried. ¡°What did the doctor say about your prenatal examination in this hospital today?¡± Joesse felt that Zheng Zeyi had changed. He was no longer the same person as before, so she was a little angry now. However, no matter how angry she was, what could she do? she could not be angry now. Being angry would only make her worse. ¡°If you want to know the situation, why don¡¯t you go and see it yourself? why do you have to ask me? Besides, I don¡¯t know what to say if you ask me. You can go and look at the prenatal examination report yourself. ¡± Qiao sisi answered Zheng Zeyi¡¯s question expressionlessly. She did not want to have too much interaction with Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi could already feel Qiao sisi¡¯s attitude towards him, and he could not help but feel a little upset. Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to look through the report himself. He knew that he had indeed gone a little overboard today, so in the end, he had already differentiated the reports. Their main purpose was to find out how Joes ¡®health was. After seeing the results of the prenatal examination, they heaved a sigh of relief. At least nothing had happened. At this critical moment, he had already seen Joes¡¯s stomach and wanted to get closer to this baby. Thus, he had already walked in front of Joes and wanted to get closer to this baby. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t Come and Hug Me now.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s expression was cold as well. She did not even look at Zheng Zeyi when she said that. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi was a little confused. Why did she suddenly have such a cold attitude? The Auntie felt a little helpless after witnessing the scene in front of her. Hence, she told Zheng Zeyi about joesse¡¯s recent situation. ¡°Actually, Madam¡¯s emotions have been unstable recently. Please don¡¯t disturb her anymore.¡± Zheng Zeyi was puzzled. He did not know what kind of conflict Jossi was having recently. ¡°I also want to know what this person has been doing recently.¡± The Auntie had also told Zheng Zeyi everything that had happened in the past few days. Chapter 662

¡°Actually, you¡¯re not the only one who noticed that there¡¯s something strange about Joes. I¡¯ve noticed it too. I thought it was just me, but I didn¡¯t expect you to feel the same way.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi had already said this without hesitation. The aunty was also a little helpless. She never thought that their rtionship would be like this. It used to be very enviable in the past, but now it was very messy. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I already know what to do, so don¡¯t worry. But I¡¯m very grateful to you.¡± The Auntie told Zheng Zeyi that since he had already discovered something amiss, he had to be more careful. If he did not pay attention, the consequences would be unimaginable, because he also hoped that the two of them would be fine because he had already been there for so long. ¡°I¡¯m going to clean up the kitchen first. As for what to do, I¡¯m sure you already know. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately nodded. He must have already had this thought. If he didn ¡®t, what would he do? He never thought that he would have already discovered the abnormality of this joesse. Even this Auntie could sense it. Since that was the case, he would have to exin it to her. If he did not exin it clearly, joesse would start to let her imagination run wild. How could he let joesse have such wild thoughts alone? ¡°If I had known that this would happen, I would have exined it earlier. This matter wouldn¡¯t have be so serious. I¡¯m to me for all of this.¡± Zheng Zeyi also felt that he was as stupid as this pig. Why couldn¡¯t he even do such a thing well? Therefore, they were all very angry and wanted to teach themselves a good lesson right now. Because all of this was his own fault. If it wasn¡¯t his fault, how could things have developed to this stage? As such, they felt that it was unfair in their hearts. If they had known that things would turn out this way, they would not have done what they did back then. They would not have hurt Joes either. Therefore, they could not wait to teach themselves a good lesson. Just as he was about to exin things to joesse, his phone rang all of a sudden. The toot sound kept ringing, and he hung up impatiently. However, the phone rang again. When he took a closer look, he did not expect it to be an unfamiliar number. Moreover, he didn¡¯t even know who was calling this number. He didn¡¯t even know this person, so he hung up a few times just like that. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the call would stille through. In the end, Zheng Zeyi answered the call impatiently. ¡°Hello, who is it? If you have something to say, just say it. I still have things to do. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone was also very bad because he wanted to go and apologize to Qiao sisi. However, the call came straight in. He did not know who was courting death here. If it continued, Zheng Zeyi could not wait to hang up the phone. The extremely familiar voice reached Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ears. He did not expect it to be Xu Xin, and his face changed immediately. He did not expect it to be this woman. What was this woman doing here? ¡°Actually, I also want to know why you suddenly called me. Just tell me what you want to say. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up. It¡¯s best not to bother me at this time, or I¡¯ll let you know what¡¯s powerful.¡± When Xu Xin heard this, her expression changed drastically. She had never thought that this would happen. She was already surprised by the sess, but she had never expected this to happen. ¡°Since you¡¯re calling me now, I really want to ask you something. I¡¯m sure you know this better than anyone else. I¡¯ve told you in the past not to involve Joes, so why did you still involve her in the end?¡± When he said this, Xu Xin was stunned. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be so angry. Furthermore, it was all because of Qiao sisi. Was she not important in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart anymore? Therefore, they felt very ufortable in their hearts. Zheng Zeyi was already very angry at this moment. He kept asking this woman questions. He really wanted to know the purpose of this woman¡¯s actions, what exactly was it, why did she do this, and why she did not listen to his advice. They had clearly made an agreement in the past. However, this person did not listen to what he had done, and he had seeded, causing a huge misunderstanding between him and Joes. When he thought about this, he felt very unconvinced. At this moment, Joes heard the phone call and even heard the conversation between the two of them. Heaven felt terrible in his heart. He had never thought that he would one day bump into her personally. ¡°How did things turn out like this? What¡¯s all this about?¡± Joes mumbled to herself in her heart. If she could do it all over again, would she make the same choice? It probably wouldn ¡®t. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi had already noticed that Joes was standing there. Hence, he was surprised at his sess. At this moment, they hung up the phone and walked over to joesse. However, they realized that they had not said a single word. Even after exining for a long time, she still could not exin it clearly. She looked flustered as if she had been caught in bed. ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin anything to me. After all, it¡¯s meaningless. So, you should stop.¡± In the end, Zheng ze¡¯s part gave up. When the second day arrived, Zheng ze¡¯s part woke up in a daze. However, he did not expect that joesse would be here packing her luggage. This sessfully shocked Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Why are you packing your luggage here? it¡¯s still early.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this in a hurry. Chapter 663

Chapter 663: Leaving for a while

After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, Qiao si told him directly that she would be going to Lin SI¡¯s newly developed Binhai New District for a holiday with Chen Anna. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m going to follow him to this ce, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much. After all, I won¡¯t run away, and I¡¯ll be here all the time. What are you afraid of?¡± Qiao si said this without hesitation. When she said it again, Zheng Zeyi felt upset. He was also very afraid. What if Qiao si left him like this? what should he do? He did not know why, but at that moment, he felt that Joes was getting further and further away from him. Perhaps it was because he had gone too far in the past few days, so he had disappointed Joes. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had disappointed Joes, Joes would never have done such a thing. Hence, she had already rushed over in 08. It would be great if he could start over again. Unfortunately, there was no way to do so. Therefore, he had been staring at Joes, trying to figure out something from her eyes. However, he could not figure out anything in the end. ¡°Since you¡¯re going to have fun, why don¡¯t I go with you? after all, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much to do in thepany. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this very seriously, and his eyes were filled with determination. He wanted to go with Joes, and he was not willing to let her go alone. If Joes were to go, what would he do? She had a feeling that after Joes left, she would not return and would definitely go look for Joes with her. Hence, she decided that it would be better for her to go with him. ¡°No matter what, I think you¡¯re still doing well right now. Just do what you should do. Work is the most important thing, so you don¡¯t need to apany me.¡± This time, Joes only wanted to go and rx. She did not have any other thoughts, so she told Zheng Zeyi this directly. When Zheng Zeyi heard it, he did not know why but he told himself that he must go. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t have to be too busy with work these days, so I thought I could go with you.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this very seriously. When Qiao si heard this, she did not know why but she felt that Zheng Zeyi was extra talkative today. Why didn¡¯t she feel this normally? ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that you don¡¯t need to apany me. You just need to focus on your work. Why are you so talkative? I don¡¯t see you talking much today, but you¡¯re so talkative today. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he was instantly rendered speechless. He did not know what to do. ¡°But I think I should go with you. After all, what if you¡¯re in danger? you¡¯re pregnant. As a pregnant woman, if you¡¯re in danger, my husband can protect you.¡± Zheng Zeyi took it for granted and had already said this. When he said this, Qiao sisi felt a little headache and rejected him directly. She told Zheng Zeyi that he could just go to work directly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be back in a few days. You¡¯ll see me in one piece. I can promise you that, so you don¡¯t have to apany me anymore.¡± When he said this, the man in front of him fell into deep thought. Since the man had said so, he could only stay here obediently and not go with him. A gentle breeze blew over. It was also at this time that Zheng ze nodded his head as soon as he arrived. He had no choice but to agree to joesse¡¯s request and told her to be careful on the road. ¡°I¡¯m not a three-year-old child. How can I not know what I should do? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll know what to do. You have to work hard and wait for me toe back. ¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he immediately nodded and expressed that he knew what to do, so he hoped that Joes would be at ease. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. At this moment, Anna Chen had already arrived at Joes¡¯s team. When she saw that Joes had almost packed up her things, she immediately walked over to her. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be here as well. However, her attitude towards Zheng Zeyi had taken a 360-degree turn this time. She did not even take Zheng Zeyi to heart. Because no matter what, Qiao sisi was the pregnant woman. Shouldn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi treat her well? However, at the end of the day, he had done those things wrong. It was like the saying ¡®if you do well, you don¡¯t cherish what you get¡¯. Perhaps this was referring to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you toe here so quickly. I thought it would take you a while to get here, but you¡¯ve already arrived so quickly. You¡¯ve sessfully surprised me.¡± Joes had also said it now, and she was still smiling. She was no longer as tired as before. Zheng Zeyi felt a little lonely at this moment. He also felt that what he had done to increase his strength was too much. ¡°Since we¡¯re done packing, let¡¯s set off now. After all, the earlier we get there, the earlier we can pack. We¡¯ll be able to have a good time there.¡± Joes nodded her head and decided to leave with Anna Chen in the end. Anna Chen also said goodbye to Zheng ze in the end. There was still some reluctance in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart. He had never thought that Qiao sisi would really leave. Although she said that she would be gone for a few days, Zheng Zeyi was still a little unhappy at the end, so he could only force a smile. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, you must give me a call when you get there to let me know that you¡¯re safe.¡± Chapter 664

¡°AI!¡± Joes sighed, her expression not much better. Chen Anna looked at her from the side and felt very aggrieved. She said,¡±¡±You weren¡¯t like this before.¡± That was true. In the past, Jossi might not have been so sentimental. But now, she was a scoundrel. It was reallyughable. Joes raised her head and raised her eyes,¡±¡±Nana,¡± As he spoke, he sounded like he was choking up. Chen Anna got even angrier and roared,¡±¡±Jossi, what did you get for a man?¡± With this roar, Joes woke up numbly. What was she doing? she had closed herself up to the peak of despair for a man. There was no way out now. She collected her emotions and went to the homestay with Chen Anna. Seeing that it was getting dark, he naturally had to find a ce to stay. He saw a homestay with the word ¡°mortal.¡± What was so different about this homestay named ¡°mortal.¡± The two of them stepped in. When he first entered, he saw a ssical and simple style. He thought that this homestay would be decorated like a luxury hotel, but when he stepped in, he felt as if he had returned to ancient times. It was aplete opposite of the feeling of transmigration. The two of them nodded in satisfaction. A man appeared in front of them, smiling as he walked towards them. Was this the boss? He was very suspicious in his heart, but he was extremely vignt. The man stood in front of them and introduced himself.¡±Hello, I¡¯m the owner of this homestay, Jiang Luo.¡± They were relieved to hear that. Jiang Luo invited the two of them in and poured them a cup of tea. She smiled and said,¡±¡±You guys try it.¡± Joes and Anna Chen were both stupefied. They picked up the teacups and took a sip. The taste was as if they were in a tea garden. It was as if Joes had returned to some ce. ¡°Thank you, boss,¡± she said with a smile. Then, the two of them began to introduce themselves. Jiang Luo, who was also a warm-hearted man, followed by saying,¡±¡±You two girls must be careful when you¡¯re out.¡± The two of them nodded. The boss¡¯s people were very hospitable, but he never expected it. ¡°Boss, where did you get these tea leaves?¡± Chen Anna asked with a smile.¡±They don¡¯t taste like ordinary tea leaves.¡± Jiang Luo smiled.¡±This tea leaf is from me. You can¡¯t buy it outside.¡± It meant a secret recipe. That was good. After all, it was a homestay that attracted people. This was the best tea the two of them had ever had. Jiang Luo understood Chen Anna¡¯s meaning and smiled back.¡±¡±It¡¯s just tea leaves. I¡¯m d you like it. ¡± It could be seen that he didn¡¯t care much about the tea leaves. What he cared about was whether the guests liked it or not. He did a good job in this regard. After all, it was the boss¡¯s wish for the customers to like it. ¡°Why don¡¯t I give you some of these tea leaves before you leave?¡± Jiang Luo asked. Anna Chen looked at Joes. The two of them were shocked by their boss¡¯s enthusiasm. This was the first time they had seen someone like this, and they could not get used to it. Joes looked embarrassed and took the lead,¡±¡±I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea. It¡¯ll be embarrassing to take your money outside.¡± This was not without reason. After all, it was their first time meeting each other and it was not right for them to be so enthusiastic. Could it be that the tea leaves were drugged? Even though it was just Jossi¡¯s guess, one must still be on guard. Jiang Luo¡¯s expression turned awkward. She thought that she was being hospitable, but others thought that she was up to no good. Thinking of this, Fang Cai said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was a little rash just now. ¡± Rash? Not only that. The two of them looked as if they were about to be scared to death, and joesse heaved a sigh of relief. Chen Anna was unusually enthusiastic and said,¡±¡±Alright!¡± The two words turned Joes ¡®face pale. Oh my God! Did her best friend take the wrong medicine today? It can¡¯t be ... He didn¡¯t even look at the situation. Joes looked at her best friend with an ugly expression,¡±¡±Nana, if you like this tea, I¡¯ll buy it for you. It¡¯s not easy for everyone.¡± He meant not to take advantage of her. As soon as he said that, Jiang Luo said enthusiastically,¡±it¡¯s okay. I have a lot of tea leaves here. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a ride since it¡¯s our first time meeting. Consider it as making friends. ¡± Why did these words sound so different to them? After Joes heard his words, her expression changed again. How could this person be like this? furthermore, he kept on bickering. She felt particrly ufortable in her heart. She suddenly caught the secret and went to the side to whisper. ¡°Nana, what¡¯s wrong with you? why did you suddenly be like this?¡± Joes ¡®eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at her best friend. When did she be the kind of person who took advantage of others? when she thought of this, she had an inexplicable bad feeling. Chen Anna also quietly told her,¡±¡±He said he¡¯s here to be friends with you. Why are you so nervous? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal.¡± Was it really that simple, just to make friends? That would really be different. There are so many guestsing and going in the homestay every day, why should I make friends with them? Wasn¡¯t it worth thinking about? He didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Chen Anna. She used to be such a smart person, but now she was acting very strange. Joes was worried about her best friend¡¯s change. Chen Anna saw that there was something wrong with her expression and asked worriedly,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? are you feeling unwell? don¡¯t scare me. You have to tell me everything.¡± Joes wanted to say that she was angered to this extent by her, but she could not say it out loud. There was something wrong with his expression, but he continued,¡±¡±I¡¯m feeling a little ufortable. I¡¯d better leave quickly. Otherwise, I feel like something will happen if I stay here. ¡± Chen Anna: ¡°???¡± She didn¡¯t know what was going on. Was she not going to stay here? she really didn¡¯t understand. It was getting dark. Where were the two of them staying? why hadn¡¯t she thought about this? When he came in just now, he didn¡¯t say that he didn¡¯t want to do it. Now that such a thing suddenly happened, Aiya, this was really strange. Chen Anna Held her hand and acted coquettishly.¡±We¡¯ll just live here, okay? okay? I think it¡¯s pretty good here.¡± Joes had long since been at a loss for words. Faced with such a coquettish act, she felt even more ufortable in her heart. She really did not know what kind of magic potion she had been fed. Chen Anna¡¯s attitude was the same as his in the beginning. How did it change in the blink of an eye? it was really difficult to understand. No matter how much he thought about it, it was impossible. What was the root cause? It was a bit of a headache. Jiang Luo saw that they were discussing something and didn¡¯t want to disturb them, so she blurted out,¡±¡±I¡¯ll arrange a room for you to rest first. If there¡¯s any inconvenience, just call me.¡± It meant that she was looking for him. Chapter 665

Chapter 665: A fun ce

¡°Morning.¡± Jiang Luo greeted them early in the morning and had already prepared breakfast for them. The two of them sat down and looked at the breakfast. It was different from the ones outside. He thought that breakfast would be steamed buns or something, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be desserts. Based on this, it did match this ssical folk style. It was not bad. The pastry was also quite delicious. Chen Anna was still hungry for more in her mouth, so she took another piece and ate it. Joesse was stunned when she saw this. What was going on? she had never seen her like this before. ¡°Nana, can you watch your image? look at the way you eat,¡± she said softly. Chen Anna felt that there was nothing wrong with the way she ate. It was the same as usual. If she didn¡¯t eat, she would starve to death. Eating was more important than her image. She boasted shamelessly,¡±Alright, alright. I just want to eat my fill now. The most important thing is my image. All other problems have been put aside.¡± Joesse was speechless. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes. She didn¡¯t recognize the person in front of her. Oh my God, what was going on? Why did Chen Anna be like this? She thought about it. Her best friend had changed ever since she met Jiang Luo. Could it be that her best friend had ulterior motives for this man? This seemed to be the current way. He thought about telling himself what he thought was impossible at the time and that he wouldn ¡®t. She wasforting herself in her heart, but she felt that something was wrong. Chen Anna actually picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo had always been a warm man on the street, so she smiled at such a piece of cake.¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. Chen Anna¡¯s expression was different. She began to giggle again when she saw the man enter her pastry. This ... Joes understood. Wasn¡¯t this the kind of idiocy that one would experience in love? but there was no need for her best friend to fall for someone she had just met for a few days. No, no, no, this was only the second day. It was strange enough. ¡°Chen Anna, can¡¯t you be more reserved? how can you give food to others so casually?¡± Joes¡¯s words might be making a mountain out of a molehill. Chen Anna frowned and looked at her best friend.¡±¡±Sisi, what¡¯s wrong with you today? do you have a fever? if you really have a problem, I¡¯ll take you to see him.¡± At this moment, she had already extended her hand towards Joes¡¯s forehead. She was using one hand to check if she had a fever or something. Perhaps her brain was a little muddled today. Or, she was still sleeping. Joes¡¯s face darkened when she saw this. She immediately used her hand to push her hand away and said solemnly. ¡°How can you look at me like that? I¡¯m doing this for your own good. Look at how strange your actions are today.¡± Strange? Chen Anna was even more confused. What did he mean by strange? was there something wrong with the education between people? She forced herself to calm down and said,¡±¡±Jossi, I¡¯m telling you, there¡¯s really nothing wrong with me. Furthermore, I know very well what I did today. OK¡£¡± He had said that to show that nothing had happened to him so that she wouldn¡¯t worry. Joesse even felt that there was no love left. No love, how could there be no love between them? She even acted coquettishly in front of others.¡±Chen Anna, you¡¯re so fierce to me. I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t love me anymore. You don¡¯t love me anymore.¡± Chen Anna was dumbfounded. What did he mean by no love? they were friends that heaven and earth could bear witness to. How could he not love her? Joes was only thinking about something. When she went up, she felt that she had made a mistake, and now, she had made a mistake. Is there something wrong with his brain? In order tofort Joes, Anna Chen grabbed her and said seriously,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think like that. It¡¯s really nothing. Look at what you¡¯re thinking now. How could I abandon you?¡± Joes felt a little better after hearing this, but she still felt like someone was snatching her away. She looked at Jiang Luo angrily. Jiang Luo felt that she had been wronged. What was going on? she hadn¡¯t even said anything. Did they all feel that they were a sucker? they didn¡¯t do anything at all, but they caused the sisters to turn against each other? Jiang Luo shook his hands, as if to refuse.¡±¡±Please don¡¯t misunderstand. I really didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Joes stared at him in disbelief. What did he mean by ¡®nothing¡¯? it seemed like there was something fishy about this. Otherwise, why would he admit it in such a hurry? Thinking of this, he chuckled. This gaze made one feel a little intense. He definitely had some hostility. Jiang Luo was even more familiar with it. ¡°I¡¯ve wronged my baby,¡± she thought. She was really aggrieved. She looked at Chen Anna with a grimace. Her eyes seemed to be asking for help,¡±please save me, I really didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Now that he couldn¡¯t even wash his name off by jumping into the Yellow River, he really felt so aggrieved that he wanted to die. Wuwuwu ... Chen Anna was embarrassed by this look. She really couldn¡¯t be med. Joes was thinking too much. Otherwise, she would not have been so extreme. ¡°Jossi, let¡¯s eat first,¡± she said, raising her head.¡±We¡¯ll talk about other things after we¡¯re done.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Mm,¡± Joes replied. Chen Anna finally let out a sigh of relief. It was good that they didn¡¯t pursue the matter anymore. After the two of them finished eating, they unknowingly chatted for a while, and it was already dark. ¡°Do you have any fun ces here?¡± Chen Anna asked. Jiang Luo was a little embarrassed by the question, but she still said,¡±¡±The night market.¡± Their eyes lit up at the mention of this word. Although the things here were cheap, there were still many fun things. At the mention of this, she was particrly happy in her heart. They cheered and jumped for joy as they wanted to go to the night market. After discussing everything, he brought his family¡¯s things and prepared to go. Before they left, Jiang Luo shouted,¡±¡±Wait a minute. Bring your umbres when you leave. It¡¯s better this way.¡± Chen Anna and Qiao si looked at each other. Number four did not understand why he still had to bring an umbre in such a clear sky. He really did not understand. Seeing their confusion, Jiang Luo began to exin,¡±¡±The weather here is ever-changing. Sometimes, it will rain without you knowing. You must bring an umbre when you go out.¡± They finally understood what was going on. That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good, but this is still okay. ¡°Thank you. We¡¯ll be back after shopping.¡± Chen Anna and Qiao si thanked him in unison. Chapter 666

It was night time, and under the neon lights on the road, there were many peopleing in and out. ¡°So lively, so lively.¡± Chen Anna looked around, and the bustling night market gradually became mesmerizing. Joes stood rooted to the ground. She did not know what to say when she saw this. This image. She grabbed her best friend¡¯s hand and said calmly,¡±¡±I say, can¡¯t we pay attention to our image? this is a ce with a lot of people.¡± Chen Anna thought so, as if she had taken some kind of stimnt that made her shake off her best friend¡¯s hand. She was even more excited. ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s so lively here. I must be very happy to see it, don¡¯t you think? We can buy some fun things to go back. ¡± Joes looked around as well. It was indeed lively, but there were some things that she did not need. Since Chen Anna wanted it so much, he didn¡¯t mind. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll buy you whatever you like, okay? don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll pay for your selection today.¡± Joes had always been generous and never stingy with her best friends. Chen Anna¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. It was a pair of eyes that sparkled like stars. He pulled Joes excitedly and said,¡±¡±I know you¡¯re the best.¡± Joes was embarrassed. Chen Anna didn¡¯t need to be so excited. He didn¡¯t understand. After a while, Anna Chen let go of Joes¡¯s hand and ran to a small stall to continue looking at these fun things. Joes covered her forehead. He really had no other choice. How did this little girl be like this? she was really a shopaholic. She didn¡¯t think much of it, but some people thought it was fun. Chen Anna began to scream again. Joesse felt that there was no hope for this. The meeting ended. Zheng Zeyi recalled that he had been so busy these few days that he had not called joesse. He wondered how she was doing outside. It seemed like he had to be concerned about her. As he thought about it, he sat in front of the office table and held his phone tightly as he dialed her number. ¡°Sisi, how have you been these few days?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. Joes was shocked and stuttered when she spoke. ¡°It¡¯s good, it¡¯s good. It¡¯s just that my best friend likes to buy things. ¡± Zheng ze was a little hesitant when he heard the word ¡®yes¡¯, but he only smiled when he heard the word ¡®buy¡¯. ¡°Buy it, buy it. If you don¡¯t have enough money, you can just swipe my card.¡± He didn¡¯t care about buying things. It was not like Zheng Zeyi did not have much money, not to mention that she was his wife¡¯s best friend. Of course, he could not be stingy. Joes did not even need to think to know that he would be so generous, but when she heard it, she felt that it was a little unbelievable. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Joes said one word. The two of them were almost speechless. Even the office on the other side of the phone was quiet. There was no one there. After a while, just as Jossi was about to say something, she heard a superhuman voice from the other end of the phone. That voice was so familiar. ¡°Big brother ze Yi, look, it¡¯s time to eat. Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Xu Xin barged into the office and said this. Even joesse felt that this voice was extremely familiar. For a moment, his mind waspletely nk. On the other end of the phone, Xu Xin entered the office and sat down in the other person¡¯s office seat. She was even fidgeting. ¡°Brother, why didn¡¯t you pick up my calls? seriously, you made me so worried. I had no choice but toe to thepany to find you.¡± Xu Xin¡¯s voice was coy as she said this. Joesse was speechless. She didn¡¯t know what to say. Did they really have a rtionship without her? her mind was in a mess, and all kinds of guesses jumped into her mind. Zheng ze¡¯s face darkened at the sight of this, and he seemed to have forgotten the voice on the other end of the phone. He was especially angry and directly shouted,¡±¡±Xu Xin, listen to me and get out of my office immediately. You¡¯re not allowed to loiter around here.¡± Although he said this, the people on the other side were already confused and couldn¡¯t listen at all. They only thought that he was just putting on an act. When the noise entered the other person¡¯s heart, it felt like a needle was stabbing into his heart. Joes felt like she was floating in the wind, and the night market was filled with people. The call continued. ¡°Brother, don ¡®t! I¡¯ve already ordered your favorite food. Let¡¯s go eat together. ¡± Xu Xin had already stood up from her office chair and held his arm. Her charming appearance was rather alluring, but Zheng Zeyi found it extremely disgusting. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, let go of me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll ...¡± He was halfway through his sentence. Xu Xin was also a shameless person. She actually kissed him on the cheek, and the sound of her voice was heard on the phone. He didn¡¯t need to think to know what they were doing. The corners of joesse¡¯s eyes suddenly became moist. Tears filled her eyes, and her pupils were clouded, making it difficult for her to see clearly. Zheng Zeyi, I didn¡¯t expect you to treat me like this when I wasn¡¯t around. Hehe, where are the men? She was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but she didn¡¯t say a word. In the sea, the sweet times of their past appeared, and at this moment, they were shattered. Didn¡¯t it seem like they were deceiving themselves? Zheng ze immediately wiped the saliva off his face and roared,¡±¡±Xu Xin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so shameless. Do you even have a sense of shame?¡± Xu xinqu became even more aggressive and evenughed.¡±Brother, how do you feel when I kiss you? does it feel cool? why don¡¯t we kiss again?¡± She wasn¡¯t afraid of death, so she actually used words to express what she had just done. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart was filled with a shadow. The level of disgust was indescribable. His mind was a little muddled, and he seemed to have forgotten the person on the other end of the phone. On the other side. Chen Anna was in a frenzy for a while before she realized that her best friend was missing. She turned around and saw that she was standing there with a phone in her hand. She walked over andughed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? why aren¡¯t you walking? let¡¯s go and buy some things. I just saw a lot of fun things. ¡± Chen Anna said as if she didn¡¯t know what had happened. Suddenly, Joes seemed to have understood something. He made a sound of agreement and found an excuse to say,¡±¡±I¡¯m not feeling well, so I¡¯ll hang up first. ¡± After Joes hung up the phone, her expression did not look right. Chapter 667

Chapter 667: Ignore him!

Trantor: 549690339

She had called Zheng Zeyi, but she could hear Xu Xin¡¯s voice on the other end. This proved that the two of them must be in the same room. It was hard not to think too much when a man and a woman were alone in the same room. Joes sat there and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. Since she had heard her voice over the phone, and she had no idea what was happening on the other side, she felt that something was amiss. This caused her to feel a great sense of panic and uneasiness. She felt that when she was not around, other people¡¯s women would climb into the corner of the wall. Now, she wrapped herself in the quilt. Her entire body was wrapped in the nket and she didn¡¯t make a single sound. She was very conflicted now. She didn¡¯t know if she should believe him or what. However, he still had some doubts. Time passed by, and in the end, she still fell asleep in this anxious environment. Joes and Chen Anna had yed outside for the whole day, and they were physically and mentally exhausted. They could not endure it any longer. Therefore, with her current emotional state, it was even easier for her to fall asleep. Chen Anna, who had wanted to discuss tomorrow¡¯s n with her, shook her head as she looked at Joes who was already asleep. He didn¡¯t dare to disturb her and obediently went back to his bed to enter beauty sleep mode. He had almost fallen asleep while Zheng Zeyi was looking at the woman in front of him. The phone in his hand had already been hung up. He immediately vented all his anger on Xu Xin. It turned out that she had no emotional fluctuations at all. At most, his eyes would not stay on her face for a few minutes. He thought of how he was talking to sisi on the phone and this woman suddenly barged in and kept swaying her posture beside him. This kind of behavior made Zheng Zeyi feel extremely disgusted. Just based on these few points, it was enough to show that he despised this woman from the inside out. ¡°Can you leave this ce and go somewhere else to rest for a while? I¡¯m annoyed just by looking at you now. Can you let my eyes have some peace?¡± ¡°Aiya, brother Zheng, don¡¯t say it like that. It¡¯s a little embarrassing. Besides, I don¡¯t want to go out now.¡± Xu Xin clearly knew that the other party disliked her, but she still shamelessly refused to go out. She insisted on staying by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side because she felt that if she broke up with him more, she would have a different ce in his heart. However, reality told her that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brain probably couldn¡¯t even remember people if she thought that way. Moreover, she still didn¡¯t know her own weight and courage. As long as she blindly revealed all her shorings, she had to put in a lot of effort to appear in front of Zheng Zeyi today. She had to think about how to appear in front of him. ¡°I¡¯m really impressed. You don¡¯t understand what I¡¯m saying, do you? I¡¯m not joking, get out of here, you understand!¡± As she spoke, Xu Xin¡¯s emotions seemed to have gotten a little too agitated. Soon, a timid look appeared on her face. ¡°Brother Zheng, don¡¯t be angry. I know I was wrong. I¡¯ll knock the door the next time Ie in. It won¡¯t happen again. Let me help you clean up. Leave this kind of work to me.¡± Looking at the scattered documents, one could tell that Zheng Zeyi was really feeling a little ufortable now. At first, she thought that no matter what happened, she should not pay too much attention to it and just focus on watching him. However, even though things hade to this, Xu Xin was still unwilling to leave. No matter what happened or who called her, she still did not want to leave. She wanted to stay by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side and do nothing. Looking at Jossi¡¯s back as she tidied up the table, he felt a little ufortable for some reason. He thought about how his phone call had beenpletely ruined by her. He was not even sure if Jossi was angry. He was extremely depressed. He couldn¡¯t do this at all. What was it? Therefore, even though she was speechless, she was also annoyed. She couldn¡¯t get over it. ¡°Since you want to do this, then I¡¯ll leave. No one will care about you if you stay here, and you¡¯re going to stay here? I¡¯ll go, okay?¡± ¡°No, brother Zheng ... Brother Zheng!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the door was mmed shut by Zheng ze. Xu Xin was the only one left in the room, still in a daze. Zheng ze was afraid that Qiao si si would misunderstand. So, after careful consideration, he decided to go to her personally and tell her the truth of the situation face to face. He was still a little afraid that she would misunderstand. Then, he drove an open-top car out of his underground garage, wanting to get to her quickly. Although there were not many people on the road, there were still traffic police. ¡°Excuse me, please show me your driving license. Thank you for your cooperation.¡± ¡°Oh, wait a moment.¡± Although he seemed to be cooperating with the investigation on the surface, he had already begun to make dangerous remarks in his heart. Suddenly, after the things on the other side were settled, the sky suddenly started to rain. Zheng Zeyi could not make it in time because of the rain, so he found a ce to stay for the night. He did not have any other requests. All he wanted to do now was to get to Qian sisi¡¯s side as soon as possible. Then, he saw that he couldn¡¯t make it, but he couldn¡¯t just simply wait by the side. He had to do something to make up for it. After the message was sent, Zheng Zeyi was no longer in his previous state. He sat in his car, his hair still a little wet. He wanted to see what the other party would reply to his message. This was because Zheng Zeyi still did not know if joesse was angry. Anyway, when he came back to his senses, the phone had already stopped ringing. All that was left was the beep sound of the call being ended. ¡°Sisi sent you a message, saying that he was wrong and that it wasn¡¯t what you think. What do you want to hear from him? what¡¯s wrong with you two?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry so much. Ignore him. I¡¯m not in the mood to recover from this kind of person.¡± Chen Anna was confused because she didn¡¯t know what had happened between the two of them to cause such a reaction. Chapter 668

Chapter 668: What should I teach you?

In such a tense atmosphere, even Anna Chen did not know what to do. This was because she knew that after spending so much time with Joes, she knew that Joes was not someone who would get angry easily. But now, she could see his angry lookpletely. It didn¡¯t seem like he was pretending. So, seeing her like this, she didn¡¯t feel good. She didn¡¯t know what to do. At that moment, Jiang Luo walked to their room and knocked on the door. Although she didn¡¯t know what happened inside, she came here to deliver the quilt. ¡°Sisi, are you guys there? I¡¯m here to send you off with the nket. The temperature difference at night might be quite big, and I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll catch a cold. ¡± ¡°Ah, we¡¯re here. Come in.¡± Although the atmosphere was very subtle, it still went on. Jiang Luo brought in a white nket. The nket was soft and fluffy like a cotton candy. From this behavior, it could be seen that he was indeed a warm-hearted man from the inside out. This made other girls particrly fond of him, and Chen Anna was no exception. She also had a trace of youthful affection for him. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the nket here. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave. If there¡¯s anything else, call me. I¡¯ll be right there.¡± ¡°Alright, go and rest. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days.¡± Jiang Luo only smiled. He didn¡¯t know how to reject other people¡¯s gratitude, so he could only use a faint smile to tell them that he really wanted to help them as friends. After he left, Chen Anna was still staring at the deep door. Her eyes were fixed on the door. Even though she had already left, there was still a feeling of wanting more. Looking at the infatuated Chen Anna, Joes could not help but let out a ¡®pfft¡¯. It turned out that Chen Anna had always had a look of unwillingness to upy the mortal world when all the boys were pursuing her. But now, he was acting like a young girl who was infatuated with her. It really made people not know whether tough or cry. Sure enough, just as he had guessed, Chen Anna started talking to him about Jiang Luo as soon as he left. If he had talked about other men in the past, he would have thought that there was something wrong with his brain. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that Jiang Nian is especially good?¡± ¡°Why do you like her? In the past, such words would never havee out of your mouth. ¡± At this point, Chen Anna couldn¡¯t help but blush. Anyone could tell that Joes was using this matter to tease her. She didn¡¯t even realize that she was so interested in Jiang Nian. She couldn¡¯t help but blush. She had no feelings for other men in the past, but she had a special liking for this man. It was love at first sight. So, this was strange, very strange. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Even if I¡¯m interested in her, I haven¡¯t expressed it yet. I still want to observe whether this man is worthy of my love.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. After all, liking someone is also a life experience, so you have to be careful. Besides, don¡¯t you have your sisters here? I¡¯ll help you keep an eye on them.¡± The friendship between girls was so strange. Just a second ago, there was still a little awkward atmosphere, but now, they were chatting in full swing. No matter what, there would not be overnight hatred between girls. The night ended with the two girls having a heart-to-heart conversation. The next day came quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sun shone through their Windows. The warm sunlight shone on their faces, making them look like newborn babies. They were soft and tender, and the sleepy young girls ¡®eyes made people feel that they were the most beautiful things in the world. Joes got up from the bed in a daze and ruffled her messy hair. From afar, she looked like a child with sleepy eyes. In the end, he stumbled and put on his shoes, preparing to go out and see if there was breakfast to eat. Or, he could make them breakfast. After all, she had been here for so many days and had always been under the care of others. This time, she wanted to make her own breakfast to reward them, so she quickly tidied up her clothes. He went to the kitchen, but what he didn¡¯t expect was that, even though he thought he had woken up very early, he could see a busy figure working in the kitchen. From the back, she could tell that this person was Jiang Luo. It turned out that before she woke up, he would always make breakfast for everyone here. At first, she thought it was just breakfast for a homestay. However, they didn¡¯t expect that it was breakfast. Every meal was made by Jiang Nian because since they moved to this homestay, she basically slept until veryte, and Chen Anna was the same. Looking at this scene, joesse was also especially interested. Other than fried eggs or other simple dishes, she didn¡¯t know anything else. I really felt that what I didst night was a little too much. Even if he heard another woman¡¯s voice on the phone, it might not be what he thought. So, he also felt that he could make a heart-warming breakfast for Zheng Zeyi when he went back. This way, the conflict between the two of them would be written off. With this thought in mind, he quickly walked over to Jiang Luo and patted her back. ¡°Why are you up so early? It looks good to make breakfast here. Why don¡¯t you teach me a few? I don¡¯t want to try it anyway. ¡± ¡°Of course I didn¡¯t ask. Let me think about what I should teach you,¡± Then, he took out a pumpkin. ¡°Let¡¯s teach you how to make pumpkin pie. It¡¯s easy to learn and you can make it pretty good.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, good!¡± Could it be that they had ced thisrge pumpkin in a steamer to steam it, then dug out all the flesh inside, pressed it into a pancake, and added an appropriate amount of corn flour? It was a sess. The interaction between the two of them in the kitchen was suddenly seen clearly by Zheng ze, who had just rushed to the homestay. He felt that the man in front of him was being intimate with Joes and was in a very bad mood. He felt as if his status was being threatened and could not wait to go up and pull the two apart.

He saw everything. Even though the truth of the matter was not what he saw, he still believed what he saw. He realized that the man¡¯s hand was still holding Joris¡¯s hand and did not let go. If there was really nothing going on between them, why could they act so intimately? if they were just a normal couple, they would also deliberately keep their distance and not act like this. He stood at the door. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The more he looked, the angrier he got. However, no one had discovered that it was there yet, so he continued to look at it. She suddenly thought that if she went up to it now, would it make the rtionship between her and Jossi even worse? Because of the phone call yesterday, he didn¡¯t know how to exin it to her. If this morning¡¯s conflict was added to the mix, what would happen next? There were still some uncertainties. However, when he saw the man touching Joes¡¯s body time and time again, even the slightest collision in his eyes would be magnified infinitely. After all, no man would be willing to see his girlfriend having an affair with another man. This was not only because he was her official boyfriend, but also because he did not want other men to hurt her. Hence, he could not take it any longer. He quickly ran up to Joes and pulled her to the side. Then, he punched a mark on the wall and spoke to her sternly while knocking on it. ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with this man? Why is it that when I¡¯m not around? You can be so close to other men? If you don¡¯t tell me, tell me the reason. I know it¡¯s not your fault. ¡± ¡°Hey! Let her go! Who are you!¡± Jossi, who had yet to recover from the shock, felt that she was unable to say anything. She could only look at the two of them in a daze. She was still thinking about how to make breakfast when she was suddenly pulled over to be questioned. Who was it? There was only one thing on her mind right now, and that was not knowing what to do. She didn¡¯t know what to do at all. Jiang Luo, who had been standing beside her, was furious. This was because he did not know who the man who was kabedonning joesse with a fierce expression was. However, he knew that joesse must be feeling terrible right now. As the host of this homestay, he had to take up the responsibility that he had to bear. ¡°Who am I? I¡¯m her boyfriend. I just wanted to see who you are. What did you mean by being so intimate with my girlfriend just now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s also our business. It¡¯s not up to you, an outsider, to interrupt. Get lost!¡± Jiang Luo was rendered speechless by his words. But on second thought, if he was really Qiao si SI¡¯s boyfriend, then why didn¡¯t she look like a lover when he looked at her? ¡°You said you¡¯re her boyfriend, but do you have any evidence to prove it? then let her go right now. Do you know you¡¯ll make her very scared next time?¡± ¡°I made her afraid? What right do you have to talk to me about these things?¡± This sentencepletely infuriated Zheng Zeyi. He felt that the man in front of him was just a third party who had stepped in and had no right tofort him, so he really could not help but hit him with his hands and feet. This was because he felt that the man in front of him was threatening his position. Since he was Jossi¡¯s boyfriend, he had the obligation to help her get rid of the weeds around her. He thought that since she was unwilling to do it herself, he would do it himself. ¡°What the hell do you mean? If you can¡¯t say it, then just do it. Don¡¯t say any more meaningless words, okay?¡± ¡°Come if you want, do you think I¡¯m afraid of you?¡± The quarrel between the two had sessfully woken up Chen Anna, who was sleeping upstairs. At first, Chen Anna was still asleep and did not want to hear any sound from the outside world. How could there be a way? The two men¡¯s deep voices were too rough. So, she had no choice but to be woken up. Although she had beenining in her heart at that time about who was making such a loud noise, she was already in a bad mood. After being woken up again, her mood was even worse. ¡°What are you two doing? Why are you fighting together?¡± Although he didn¡¯t know what had happened, he knew it wasn¡¯t good to wake her up. Then, he quickly took a piece of clothing and went downstairs after putting it on. Perhaps it was because she was in too much of a hurry, she didn¡¯t even put on her shoes properly. She only wore a slipper and ran down the stairs. Then, she saw two men beating each other up, which made her say those words. Jossi, who was standing at the side, was trembling as she watched the scene before her. She did not know why she would ept being beaten up by a man, so she was especially afraid and squatted in a corner. She did not dare to make a sound and only squatted there and waited quietly. ¡°You asked me why I was fighting. Why didn¡¯t you see what they were doing just now?¡± ¡°What are we doing? Let¡¯s just be normal friends and don¡¯t think too much!¡± This sentence had infuriated him again, as he felt that this man was not just ordinary friends with Joes. This made him even angrier. He felt that not only was this man lying, but he was also acting so rashly. ¡°The two of you, separate from me now. Do you know that you have not considered Joes who is beside you when you are fighting? If the two of you are fighting for her, then why don¡¯t you think about him? why are you only fighting here?¡± After that, she used all her strength to separate the two men. When they heard what she said, they both felt bad. Uncle, how could a girl¡¯s strength fight against two men? He could only try his best to separate them. Perhaps it was because of what he had just said. Which boy would separate after a little more fighting? After they separated, they could only see that the two of them were bruised and swollen. It seemed that they had not been gentle with their attacks. Both of them had used quite a lot of force and regarded each other as enemies. They would usually fight each other. Perhaps in their religion, the two of them were enemies. In the end, the two of them were finally separated by Anna Chen. However, they were still very angry and wanted to fight again to determine the winner. The two men had bruises all over their faces. They sat on both sides and didn¡¯t say a word. They just stared at each other fiercely, as if they wanted to eat each other up. Joes looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly.¡±Hurry up ande over. I¡¯ll apply the medicine for you ...¡± Chapter 670

As Qiao si applied the medicine on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s wound, she teased him,¡±do you know that it hurts?¡± After teasing him, she did not forget to let out a sigh of relief at the spot where Zheng Zeyi had applied the medicine. He exhaled on his wound. There was one time when he went out for a meal and saw a child fall while running too fast. His mother came over to help him up and gently pressed on the ce where he had fallen. As she exhaled, she coaxed the child and said,¡±it won¡¯t hurt anymore after mommy blows on it.¡± When she thought about this, she felt like breathing out at Zheng ze like a mother coaxing her son. She wanted tough, but she held it back. ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s there to be in pain for a man?¡± Zheng ze looked at the petite and lovely girl who was applying medicine for him. He wanted to touch her soft ears, but he couldn¡¯t do so because he was applying medicine. He sighed in regret. Next time, he would definitely touch her as much as he wanted. After listening to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, she was still a little proud of him. Initially, she was still feeling sorry for him, but now, it was all gone because of Zheng Zeyi. Instead of gently exhaling, she used her hand to press on his wound. After that, he didn¡¯t forget to curse,¡±you deserve it.¡± He continued to apply medicine on the other injured areas with a dark face. ¡°Hiss.¡± Zheng Zeyi, who had a proud expression on his face, instantly lost it when he was pressed down by joesse. A trace of pain appeared, but it was only for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel bad for me?¡± After hissing, he didn¡¯t forget to lean over and whisper ambiguously into Joes ¡®ear. Qiao si turned a deaf ear to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s flirtatious words and continued to pull a long face. Unfortunately, her ears that were gradually turning red revealed her true intentions. Zheng Zeyi could not hide anything from Qiao sisi¡¯s reaction. He looked at her ears and smiled again as he continued to admire Qiao sisi who was applying the medicine for him. Jiang Luo, who was being treated by Chen Anna, couldn¡¯t help butugh when she saw this. When Zheng ze heard theughter, he looked up in the direction of the sound. When he saw that it was the man who had fought with him previously, his smiling face instantly darkened. She red at him gloomily, seeing that he was not much better off than her, with a bruised face.¡±You¡¯re also injured.¡± She taunted him. Jiang Luo wanted to retort, but she immediately swallowed her words when she saw Qiao si si walking towards her. Her mocking smile at Zheng Zeyi had changed to a gentle one. After applying medicine for Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi walked to Jiang Luo¡¯s side.¡±Are you okay?¡± Joes looked at Jiang Luo¡¯s injuries and said worriedly. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯ll just take it as a good exercise.¡± Jiang Luo said to Qiao si nonchntly. After all, it was her husband who had hit her, and Jiang Luo had taken good care of her and Chen Anna before.¡±If you still feel ufortable, let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡± He said with guilt in his heart. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m fine.¡± Jiang Luo said to Qiao sisi with a smile and shot Zheng Zeyi a provocative look. He changed the topic and seemed to have thought of something as he asked Joes,¡±¡±By the way, you and the man opposite you ... Do you have any rtionship?¡± ¡°He ... Is actually my husband.¡± Joes nced at the man who was staring at her covetously. She was afraid that she had given him another identity, so she pursed her lips and said. Zheng Zeyi coughed and tidied his sleeves, pretending to be unconcerned. He looked away as if he did not care, but his ears were listening closely to the conversation. ¡°Then why are you guys ...¡± Jiang Luo asked in surprise after knowing that he was Jossi¡¯s husband. After all, she had seen them before and they didn¡¯t look like her husband at all. ¡°We¡¯re ... Fighting for some reason. It¡¯s not a big deal. You don¡¯t have to worry. ¡± Joes didn¡¯t want to hide it from Jiang Luo and answered his question truthfully. ¡°...That¡¯s good. I thought he was up to no good.¡± After hearing joesse¡¯s reply, she recalled that she had fought with him previously and could not help but feel a little embarrassed. She turned around and looked at Zheng Zeyi apologetically, without the sneer from before.¡±I¡¯m sorry, it was my fault before. I didn¡¯t figure out the reason. I apologize to you, haha.¡± Jiang Luo touched his nose andughed dryly to ease the awkward atmosphere. After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked in front of Zheng Zeyi, reaching out her hand to shake his hand. However, Zheng Zeyi had only taken a nce at his hand, and his ears had heard him say that he was up to no good. Although he was right, what right did he have to interfere? With a cold and disdainful expression, he snorted and walked past the man. He did not even look at the man and went straight to Joes ¡®side. He held her hand and pulled her out of the room. Jiang Luo¡¯s outstretched hand was left hanging in the air. After watching them leave, she awkwardly retracted her hand, wiped her pants, and sat back in her chair with augh. ¡°Thank you for applying the medicine for me.¡± Only then did Jiang Luo look at Chen Anna, who was helping him apply medicine. ¡°You¡¯re wee, you¡¯re wee. It¡¯s a small matter. ¡± Chen Anna, who had been quietly watching this scene, was finally noticed and quickly said. ¡°You also know about it?¡± Jiang Luo looked into Chen Anna¡¯s eyes. Chen Anna was confused by the sudden question and looked back at Jiang Luo in confusion. Jiang Luo let out a breath.¡±Phew, the man who fought with me just now. Is he really Jossi¡¯s husband?¡± He continued to look into Chen Anna¡¯s eyes. ¡°I know, I know. They¡¯re husband and wife.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s face blushed from Jiang Luo¡¯s gaze, and her voice trembled. ¡°Then ... Why do they look like that?¡± Jiang Luo continued to ask. ¡°Oh, oh, let me tell you ...¡± Chen Anna swallowed and told Jiang Luo in full detail why they were like that. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it.¡± Chen Anna¡¯s mouth was dry after talking for a long time. She picked up the mineral water on the table and drank it. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. To think that I even apologized to that despicable man. If I had known earlier, I would have punched him a few more times. I shouldn¡¯t have apologized to him.¡± After listening to Chen Anna¡¯s story, Jiang Luo gritted his teeth in anger and clenched his fists. If Zheng Zeyi were in front of him now, he would definitely rush over to grab him and beat him up. ¡°Jossi wasn¡¯t in the wrong at all. It¡¯s all that man¡¯s fault.¡± Jiang Luo said angrily on behalf of Jossi. Chapter 671

Zheng ze¡¯s expression changed drastically when he saw the scene in front of him. He did not expect the two of them to be so close. He had already walked in front of joesse. Joesse did not know what kind of madness Zheng Zeyi was up to. She waspletely dumbfounded. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to walk in front of her. ¡°You¡¯re so angry. What do you want to do?¡± Qiao si had said this directly. She really wanted to know what Zheng Zeyi was nning to do. After saying this, Zheng Zeyi had already told Joes that he did not want to do anything, so he hugged Joes and kissed her forcefully. When Joes saw this scene, she used all her strength to push Zheng Zeyi away. ¡°There¡¯s something I really want to tell you. Don¡¯t continue doing this, or I won¡¯t let you off. ¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I do that? Our identities are here, and we have to be legal, so I can do whatever I want. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not hold back and said the same thing. When Qiao si heard this, she instantly felt that Zheng Zeyi was being unreasonable. ¡°You must be jealous. Otherwise, why would you do such a thing?¡± After he said this, Zheng Zeyi nodded his head without hesitation. He was indeed jealous, but was he not? He was already feeling terrible in his heart. What right did Joes have to be able to chat so much with that person and even get so close to him? he did not allow that. At this moment, when Joes saw Zheng Zeyi, she immediately nodded her head. In the future, she would know what Zheng Zeyi was thinking about, so she blurted it out in a Huff. ¡°Actually, I also want to know one thing. What right do you have to be jealous? I didn¡¯t do anything to let you down. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately told Jossi why he did not have the right to be jealous. Hence, he had a look of anger on his face and did not take Joes seriously. ¡°What is your consciousness when you say that? I really want to know what you mean by that. I also hope that you can tell me what you mean by that right now. Otherwise, I¡¯ll keep asking you. ¡± After hearing Zheng ze¡¯s words, Qiao si felt that it was a little ironic. This person actually dared to ask her what she meant by saying that. ¡°I just don¡¯t want to see you with that person. I¡¯m very angry when I see you two together with me.¡± At this moment, Qiao si already felt that Zheng Zeyi was being unreasonable, so she was already angry in her heart. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to still dare toe into contact with her here. She was clearly not jealous and did not ask, but this person was ming her instead. It seemed like he had not done anything wrong. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done anything wrong. Also, what¡¯s your rtionship with Xu Xin? What right do you have to control me? The two of you were so intimate before, and I saw it with my own eyes. Now that you¡¯ve done such a stupid thing, shouldn¡¯t you answer me?¡± Zheng Zeyi was instantly stunned. He did not expect that joesse would ask so many questions. Therefore, he did not feel good at this moment. He did not know what he should do, so he was a little confused at this moment. However, no matter how confused he was, this had already happened. ¡°Actually, we¡¯re just friends, so why do you have to think so much? we¡¯re just friends, so what¡¯s the point of being jealous? you don¡¯t have to be jealous anymore. After all, we¡¯re just friends. You have to believe me.¡± The moment joesse heard the word ¡®believe¡¯, she suddenly recalled how someone had treated her just now. To think that he still wanted her to believe in this person. This was simply wishful thinking. She would never believe him. ¡°You said that you two are friends, so why were you so intimate with him before and even made him eat breakfast for you? Do you really think I¡¯m blind? I also saw it clearly. ¡± Joesse felt that Zheng Zeyi had mistaken her sesses for that idiot and had chosen to deceive her. However, how could she have reached this level? it was impossible for her to reach this stage again. ¡°You¡¯re friends, a man and a woman. You two have breakfast there and smile at each other. You say you¡¯re friends, but do you really think I¡¯m an idiot? Zheng Zeyi. ¡± This time around, Joes really could not take it anymore. Furthermore, she was extremely angry because she had already endured many, many things. Recalling the grievances that he had suffered before, he felt terrible now. When did he suffer so much? It seemed that this was also the first time, but he didn¡¯t expect that this person would still be insatiable. ¡°I think you should believe what I¡¯m saying right now because I¡¯m not lying to you at all. Besides, what I¡¯m saying is true. Why don¡¯t you want to believe me?¡± Qiao si looked at Zheng Zeyi. What reason did she have to believe him now? It seemed like he no longer had any reason. ¡°I felt that I didn¡¯t want to see Zheng Zeyi anymore. Hence, at thest moment, I left the ce angrily and rushed out with my big belly. Jiang Luo and Chen Anna, who were standing at the side, had sessfully frightened them. They did not expect that Joes would run out without a care. Chen Anna quickly caught up with her. She couldn¡¯t let this woman go crazy, because he was still pregnant. Chapter 672

When Zheng ze saw the scene in front of him, he already knew that he should rush over now. If he did not rush over, and something happened to joesseter, who would be able to exin theplicated consequences? Furthermore, he was still carrying a child in his stomach. If something happened to the child and joesse, what would he do? Therefore, he had already run over there at this moment. His goal was to give Joes to Zheng ze. However, he did not expect that just as he was about to rush forward, he was blocked by someone. Zheng ze¡¯s expression turned ugly. He did not know why this man was blocking his way. ¡°What are you nning to do by stopping me here? don¡¯t you know that Joes has already run so far away? If I don¡¯t go after him, will you be responsible if I tell you what happened?¡± Zheng Zeyi said this very anxiously at this moment, staring at Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo knew that Zheng Zeyi was here and was very anxious, but no matter how anxious she was, it couldn¡¯t be helped. It had already happened. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Joes ¡¯emotions are very unstable right now? and yet, you¡¯ve done such a thing here. If you offend this Joester and she does something else, we can¡¯t guarantee that we¡¯ll be able to do it.¡± The only thing they could do now was to stop Zheng Zeyi here and not let him continue to move forward. After Joes heard those words, she knew that Joes ¡¯emotions were indeed very agitated and unstable. If they were to continue forward, Joes would definitely do something extreme. For the sake of Qiao SI¡¯s psychological safety, he had no choice but to stop now. Zheng Zeyi sighed helplessly. He did not expect that woman to bring so many troubles to Qiao si. If he had known that so many things would happen, he would not have done what he did. ¡°I also think that what you said is very urate, so if that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t do it either. Anyway, it¡¯s already like this.¡± Chen Anna had been running in that direction the entire time. Fortunately, she had seen Joes when she was tracking her. At least, she saw that Joes had stopped here. If Joes had continued running, Chen Anna would not have known what to do. ¡°What¡¯s the reason for a pregnant woman to run so fast? you must take care of the child in your stomach and not run so fast in the morning. What should we do if something happens to the two of you?¡± After hearing this, Joes already knew what this person meant. In the end, she nodded her head to show that she understood. Anna Chen had already said this at this moment. She also felt heartache as she looked at this Joes. She had never thought that Joes would encounter such a situation. If possible, she hoped that she had met someone else and not Joes. At this moment, Joes could already feel the slight pain in her stomach. Hence, she could not hold it in any longer. She immediately held onto Anna Chen¡¯s hand tightly, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. When Chen Anna saw the scene before her, her heart was filled with doubt. She did not know what had happened to Joes. Therefore, they could not help but ask about the situation that had happened to Joes when she gave birth to him. The moment they saw the democracy and the beads of sweat on their foreheads, they panicked. ¡°What¡¯s going on with you? is your stomach hurting?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Joes nodded her head without hesitation. She could feel that her child was about to have this problem, so Chen Anna, who had been calling for her child, hurriedly took out her phone and called 120. That was because he had to protect Joes at this moment and not let anything happen to her. Zheng Zeyi already knew about these things by now, but he had never thought that such a serious thing would happen. Therefore, he was already shocked at this time. Moreover, they didn¡¯t know what to do. They didn¡¯t know what to do when they came down. Therefore, they were all panicking. No matter what, the most important thing right now was to get to this hospital as soon as possible. If anything happened to Joes, he would still be by her side. Hence, he had left the ce in a hurry. When they arrived at the hospital, they saw that the operating room was always lit up. Joes si had been in there all this time, but Zheng Zeyi did not get to see her. When Chen Anna saw the scene in front of her, she immediately walked up to Zheng Zeyi with this unexpected scene in her eyes. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t even dare toe here. I didn¡¯t expect you to still be here. Your sess has already surprised me.¡± Anna Chen had already said this, and her tone was filled with mockery. If it were not for Zheng Zeyi, there was no way that Qiao si would have a stomach ache. ¡°I know I was wrong in the past. If I wasn¡¯t wrong, how could things have developed to this point? I already know about it, so I hope you won¡¯t be angry. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was like a child who had done something wrong. He was speaking in a low voice, but unfortunately, what was the use of saying these words? It was of no use to him at all. This was because the most important thing was only after Joes had epted it. If Joes was unwilling to ept it, then there was no way she could help him. Zheng Zeyi felt extremely guilty as well. He had been waiting for the moment that Joes¡¯s voice rang out. He immediately strode up to her and asked about her condition without caring about the child in the doctor¡¯s arms. Joesse had given birth to a boy. ¡°Actually, I really want to know what happened to this Jossi when she was around.¡± After he took the baby, he directly threw it to Chen Anna. Chapter 673

Chen Anna could not help but feel a little ridiculed when she saw Zheng Zeyi so anxious. Why had she not seen Zheng Zeyi like this before? why was he so anxious now? she felt that it was ridiculous that if she had known this would happen, why did she have to do it? In the past, he should not have done such a thing and there should not have been so many misunderstandings between the two of them. Therefore, everything now was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s fault. Who else could he me? ¡°You¡¯re making meugh, aren¡¯t you? You didn¡¯t do this before, but now you¡¯re here, caring about your actions. Who are you doing this for?¡± Chen Anna had already said this directly. Zheng ze was instantly rendered speechless. He did not know how to answer this woman in front of him. However, no matter what, he did have this responsibility. If it wasn¡¯t for him, how could things have developed to this point? Therefore, they felt a little upset. However, no matter what, the most important thing now was to see what kind of mishaps this Joes would have if anything happened to her and how they would live the rest of their lives. ¡°No matter what, even though I am indeed responsible for this, I still have to go and see Jossi now. I want to see if she¡¯s fine before I can let her off.¡± After Zheng ze finished his sentence, he immediately left and went in. When he saw that Joes ¡®face was a little pale, he knew what kind of effort he had put in just now. Thus, he felt very sad. Chen Anna took a look. After Zheng ze left, he did not say anything else. What was the use of saying more? it was better not to say anything, no matter what. Therefore, they didn¡¯t say anything at this final moment. They just did what they had to do. After all, nothing could be changed. By now, Joes had already opened her eyes and discovered her surroundings. She had never thought that when she opened her eyes, the first person she would see would be Zheng Zeyi. She did not know what Zheng Zeyi was nning to do here. He was like a wooden man. As a result, their eyes were filled with a myriad of thoughts. They felt that this person was an eyesore by staying here. They also hoped that this person would feel like leaving at this time and not continue to stay here. Initially, she wanted to do something, but joesse did not say anything while she was tracking him. There was no need to say anything to Zheng Zeyi. It was better to end things like this since there was nothing to say between them. In the end, they would just take a look at it. Chen Nana really wanted to know how her baby was doing because no matter what, her baby was the most important thing. Nothing else was important. ¡°Anna, I actually want to know how my baby is doing now. Are you still safe and sound?¡± Joes replied seriously. She kept her eyes on Anna Chen, wanting to know how her child was doing. Chen Anna had to admit that in the eyes of all mothers in the world, the most important thing was their children. Even their own health was no longer important. ¡°It¡¯s good that he knows. No matter what, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. Nothing else is important, understand?¡± Anna Chen said this very seriously at that moment, because she was very concerned about Joes¡¯s body. In the past few days, Joes had gone through many things. Furthermore, these things had caused him to feel heartache. If she had paid attention to him, he would probably have broken down long ago. After Jossi heard this, she already knew what he meant. Hence, she nodded her head at thest moment, indicating that she knew what to do. She also hoped that he would not have to worry about so many things. ¡°Right now, I¡¯m actually just thinking that it¡¯s fine as long as my child is fine. After all, I was shocked back then. I thought that my child would be lost.¡± She had been pregnant for so long, so she must have hoped that her child could live well and that nothing would happen to him. Moreover, even if something happened to them, nothing could happen to their children. They all hoped that their children could grow up well. They wanted to see them grow up and do what they wanted. ¡°This little guy is a burden to his life, and he¡¯s safe and sound. At least his condition is many times better than yours, so you must eat well and take good care of your body.¡± After Joes heard this, she immediately nodded her head, indicating that she knew what to do. She also hoped that she did not have to worry too much, as she was not a three-year-old child. Jiang Luo happened to be there and saw them chatting, so she was full of thoughts. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, I think you must be very hungry. You must finish all this food obediently, because you must take good care of your body.¡± After she said that, Joes immediately nodded her head. She knew what she had to do, so she hoped that they would not be too worried about her. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to you. After all, if it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to eat this meal. So, I¡¯m really grateful to you.¡± Chen Anna had already brought the dishes over and started feeding Joes gently. She hadpletely ignored Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi had never thought that it would be so miserable. He had never thought that one day, he would be left out like this. Therefore, he felt a little ufortable at this time. It was as if he was just an extra person here, and they were the ones who were together. In the end, Zheng Zeyi was also a nobody. He was here alone to see the baby. Chapter 674

Zheng Zeyi came to visit the baby alone. He could not help but feel happy when he saw how adorable the baby was and how he was squinting his eyes and staring at him. Because the newborn child looked very cute, he couldn¡¯t help but reach out to touch the railing outside. He saw that the child also reached out to hold his hand. ¡°Baby, you have to remember to call me daddy in the future. I¡¯m looking forward to you calling me daddy during the exam.¡± Zheng Zeyi chuckled as he said this, and his eyes were also smiling. This was because he saw that this was his own child and that his appearance was simr to his own. Moreover, his nose was very simr to joesse ¡®S. He could not help but see joesse¡¯s shadow on him. ¡°Baby, let me tell you something, do you know? Mom is a very powerful person, and it wasn¡¯t easy for mom to give birth to you, you know?¡± Zheng Zeyi was also like a child as he spoke to the newborn baby. That was because Joes had also run out in anger at that time. At that time, he thought that something would happen, but he did not expect that Joes was about to give birth. In the end, it was only because of Joes¡¯s persistence that he was born. The baby opened his eyes immediately, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be pulled up. Zheng Zeyi was extremely excited when he saw the smile. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, in the future, you must treat your mother well and protect her. You can¡¯t let her be bullied, because you have to grow up to be a man.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was also very soft because he was afraid of scaring the baby. Jiang Luo happened to be there, and she didn¡¯t expect to hear Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh. As expected, Zheng Zeyi also cared about Qiao sisi. If Zheng ze did not care about joesse, he would not have followed anyone here. He would have been pacing back and forth outside the room, looking uneasy. Therefore, she walked to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side and patted him gently. Zheng Zeyi suddenly turned around, not expecting it to be Jiang Luo. Zheng Zeyi wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. Instead, he stood there quietly and looked at his baby because it was his child. ¡°Actually, I want to know one thing. Have you thought of a name for the baby?¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head after he said that. He looked at the child that he had just given birth to. He thought about it seriously and decided to let joesse make the decision. ¡°I¡¯ll let Jossi make the decision on this matter. He can name the baby whatever he wants.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s tone was very gentle when he mentioned Joes. It was as if he only cared about her in his heart. At this moment, Joes was also lying on the same bed. However, when she woke up, she did not see her baby. Hence, she was a little worried and looked at Anna Chen. ¡°I want to see my child, I wonder if I can?¡± Chen Anna shook her head as soon as she heard this. ¡°You still can¡¯t go see your baby now, you know? Because no matter what, you have to wait until your body has recovered before you can go see your baby. You can¡¯t be like this. ¡± He hadn¡¯t even taken care of himself yet, so how could he take care of a child? Joes could not help but feel a little disappointed. She did not expect that this person would actually say such a thing. However, she thought about it seriously at the end and realized that it made sense. When Chen Anna saw that Joes was a little disappointed, she naturally felt a little upset. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to see the baby because you¡¯re still in a bad condition. How can you see the baby? That¡¯s why I hope that you can take care of your body first before you go see the baby. ¡± Chen Anna gently said this, hoping that Joes would not overthink it. Otherwise, who knew what would happen next? The two of them were also having such a good time together, so everything she did was for his own good. Other than that, these other things had nothing to do with her. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take good care of my body. I want to see my baby, so I can only do this.¡± Chen Anna could see that Joes was not being unreasonable. Instead, she was calm and even had a determined look in her eyes when she said those words. She was extremely happy. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll wait for the day you recover. I¡¯ll let this babye to see you.¡± As long as he could take care of his body, he could feed the baby. It was a piece of meat that fell from his body, so how could he not care? In this world, other than his own parents, he probably only cared about this child the most because maternal love was great. After that, he ate a lot of food and didn¡¯t seem like a patient. To Joes, her only motivation was this baby. As long as she could recover, she would be able to reunite with her baby and they would not stop her from seeing this baby. Therefore, in order to be with her baby, she could only work hard to take good care of her body and eat big mouthfuls of food and meat. After that, the doctor also came in to check on joesse. Unexpectedly, after checking her body, all the indicators showed that she was very good. She was a pregnant woman. ¡°Her body is recovering pretty well. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen a pregnant woman with such strong recovery abilities.¡± The doctors also praised him. Joes was also very happy. At least her body was in good condition and not in any waycking. This showed that her body was much better than others. Chapter 675

Chen Anna also wanted to take care of Joes at night, so she was also a little conflicted. However, she was not at ease to leave the baby to these two men. ¡°I think if I let the two of you take care of the baby, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll take good care of it. After all, how can you two men be more attentive than a woman?¡± Zheng ze wanted to refute her words, but he felt that it made sense, so he had no choice but to do so. ¡°It seems that what you said makes sense. If that¡¯s the case, what should I do? Tell me, do you want to take care of Jossi, or do you want to take care of this baby?¡± After she said this, Chen Anna fell into deep thought and did not know what to do. ¡°Why don¡¯t I take care of the baby?¡± Jiang Luo walked out and said this, but her words were immediately retorted. She couldn¡¯t take care of him. People said that he was just a man, and how could a man have the confidence of a woman? it was absolutely impossible, so they would never let this person take care of him. ¡°You¡¯re dreaming, you know? How can I let you take care of the baby? I think the baby will be crying the whole night if I let you take care of him. ¡± Jiang Luo didn¡¯t say anything. After all, what they said made sense. He really didn¡¯t know how to take care of a baby. He didn¡¯t have a child, so how could he know how to take care of a baby? ¡°Okay, okay. In that case, you guys can make a good decision. After all, both sides need someone to be on their side.¡± After saying this, Zheng Zeyi took the initiative to stand up. ¡°Why don¡¯t I take care of Jossi? no matter what, I can¡¯t take care of the baby. You should be able to.¡± When Zheng Zeyi said this, Chen Anna felt that Zheng Zeyi still had this self-awareness. She thought that Zheng Zeyi would not know. However, since Zheng Zeyi had already said so, she could only do as he said. She just did not know what joesse was thinking at the moment. Chen Anna could not help but turn to look at Joes. Unexpectedly, Joes did not say a word either. She looked into Chen Anna¡¯s eyes and nodded her head. She also felt that this was a pretty good idea. ¡°Actually, if I take care of Jossi, you¡¯ll be able to handle the baby if anything happens.¡± He didn¡¯t admit it, but he could only admit it. Although he didn¡¯t want to admit it, he had to admit it because he couldn¡¯t take care of the baby. Chen Anna saw that Joes had also tacitly agreed. Hence, in the end, she also nodded her head. It seemed like she had no choice but to agree to this matter. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll go take care of this baby. As for you, you¡¯ll have to take good care of Jossi. You have to take good care of her. If you don ¡®t, I¡¯ll definitely punch you into this wall.¡± Chen Anna pretended to be threatening him. Zheng Zeyi nodded immediately. How could he not take good care of his wife? In Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart, the most important thing was his wife. As for the child, it was nothing more than the fruit of their love. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely take good care of Jossi. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Time passed and soon, it was night time. Zheng Zeyi sat by Qiao si SI¡¯s bed and watched over her quietly because he had to keep an eye on her. He could not afford to make any mistakes. However, they did not expect that even after taking care of joesse for the entire night, the two of them still did not say a word to each other. The situation could not help but turn awkward. Zheng Zeyi did not know what to do. Since when did the two of them be so awkward? he did not dare to mention it when he recalled the scene from that day, afraid that Jossi would be angry if he did. Zheng Zeyi was also looking at the moonlight outside. The moonlight shone in and shone on joesse¡¯s face. Joesse¡¯s face was a little pale and she looked ufortable. When it was midnight, joesse wanted to drink water. Zheng Zeyi also remembered that the nurse had reminded Qiao SI that she could not drink too much water at this time. Hence, he poured some water for her. This was because everything was for Joes¡¯s health. Even though he felt sorry for Joes in the morning, he had no choice but to do so. He could not let Joes drink too much water, or it would not be beneficial to her recovery. In order to allow Joes ¡®body to recover, he was very proud of himself. He took a small cup of water and sat by the bed, gently feeding it to Joes. However, they all heard it at this moment. The baby seemed to be crying. He had been hurriedly putting his cup on the table. There were some doubts in their hearts. Why did they suddenly hear the baby crying? did they hear it wrong? ¡°Did I hear wrong? How could the baby be crying? Wasn¡¯t there this? was there that? He said that as long as Chen Anna was around, the baby would definitely not cry. ¡± He didn¡¯t expect to hear the baby crying even though he was thinking this way. He was a little worried. No matter what, he was the baby¡¯s father, so he had to do what a father should do. He took out his phone and looked for Chen Anna. ¡°What happened to the baby? Why are you crying?¡± Chen Anna was doing something here, and she didn¡¯t expect to hear it. The phone screen had already lit up. Hence, she turned on her phone at this moment. She did not expect that it would be a message from Zheng Zeyi. Hence, she immediately exined to Zheng Zeyi that the child was crying because he was hungry. Because the children couldn¡¯t speak, they only cried and made a fuss to show that they were hungry and wanted to eat. Zheng Zeyi was immediately relieved when he heard this. Fortunately, the baby was only hungry. Chapter 676

When Zheng Zeyi woke up the next day, he also heard the sudden knock on the door. He woke up in a hurry. Because he didn¡¯t sleepst night, he had dark circles under his eyes today. When she heard the knocking, she hurriedly put on the shoes and went to open the door. She didn¡¯t expect it to be the nurse. ¡°I¡¯m here to do this examination for this patient. Can you make way for me?¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he hurriedly made way for her. If he did not, would he not dy this person¡¯s inspection of joesse? ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then hurry up ande in.¡± Perhaps the people who walked in had started examining Joes. Joes had already woken up at this moment. She did not expect this person to be here already, so she was cooperating with the nurse¡¯s examination. ¡°Go and make some millet porridge now. It¡¯s good for the body.¡± They said this thoughtfully, but once they said it, Zheng ze nodded as if he would go and get some millet porridge to feed them. He also told the nurse not to worry. The nurse suddenly saw that Zheng Zeyi had actually agreed to this matter in such a panic and could not help but feel a little envious. He had never thought that the patient¡¯s husband would treat him so well. He had even agreed to it without any hesitation. He was a little envious. ¡°I¡¯m really envious that my dear Jossi has such a good husband. I used to wonder when I would be able to have such a good husband. This man is a role model.¡± At the end, the nurses only joked around for a while before leaving. After all, they had things to do here. How could they stay here forever? thus, they all left. In the end, Chang ¡®an and the others had already arrived and saw Zheng Zeyi sitting by joesse¡¯s bed. Thus, they walked over to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side. He was also a little tired from taking care of the babyst night. ¡°You should hurry and look after the baby now. After all, the baby needs someone to look after it. I¡¯ll stay here and look after joesse.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he knew that Chen Anna had a hard timest night, so he nodded. ¡°If you need any help, just send me a message and I¡¯lle over.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he nodded and left in the end. He stayed here until Zheng ze left. Anna Chen had already walked to Joes ¡®side. Joes was also very excited. When she saw Chen Anna¡¯s excitement, she was a little puzzled. What had happened? why was he so excited all of a sudden? ¡°Actually, I¡¯m also curious why you¡¯re so excited so early in the morning. Did something happen?¡± Joes was dumbfounded and confused as she said that. However, after she said that, Chen Nana immediately held Joes¡¯s hand and said thoughtfully,¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been watching the baby since yesterday. I already know where the baby is. Do you want to know?¡± When Joes heard this, she naturally wanted to know, but she had already given birth to this baby. She didn¡¯t know anything. She had been staying in the ward all this time. She wanted to see the baby, but she didn¡¯t expect that they wouldn¡¯t let her see it at all. She could only know how the baby was from them. ¡°How can I not want to know what this baby is like?¡± Joes¡¯s mind was also filled with thoughts of this baby¡¯s appearance. In the end, they couldn¡¯te up with anything. Therefore, they stayed here to look at Chen Anna. They really wanted Chen Na to tell them what the baby looked like so that they could imagine it. ¡°I and this baby look like him. I didn¡¯t expect him to look like me in the end. However, since the baby is a boy, he will definitely grow up to be a man in the future and protect the people he cares about. ¡± When Chen Anna heard this, she immediately nodded. This baby would definitely protect the people he cared about in the future. At the end, he thought of another very important thing. What should he name the baby? after all, it was already a few days old. He had to think of a name for the baby. ¡°Let¡¯s let Zheng zeding decide on the baby¡¯s name. No matter what, Zheng Zeyi is still his father. That¡¯s why I think we should let Zheng zeding decide on the baby¡¯s name.¡± When Chen Anna heard this, she felt that the two of them were really husband and wife. She didn¡¯t expect that the two of them had such a telepathic connection and hoped that each other would give this name. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the two of you to be so interesting. Both of you wish to name each other¡¯s baby.¡± Joesse was slightly stunned. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to think this way, so she found it unbelievable. He had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After all, no matter what he said about himself, he could tell that Zheng ze and Qiao sisi were very good to each other. In that case, why should she destroy the rtionship between the two of them? in other words, the two of them could always be together. No matter what, it was all for the child. This child also needed aplete family. Moreover, she also hoped that Zheng Zeyi would be able to protect Qiao si si well. No matter what happened in the future, he would always be by Qiao si SI¡¯s side. Even if someone bullied Qiao si, Zheng Zeyi would help. This was what he wanted. Joes saw that this person seemed to be thinking about something. However, he did not say anything while he was tracking him. Instead, he just stood there quietly. Chapter 677

Chapter 677: What is the meaning of this

Trantor: 549690339

Although Zheng Zeyi did not say anything, Qiao si si felt that it was strange that he had been by her side for the past few days. Wasn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi a workaholic in the past? In the past, she always saw him burying his head in all kinds of documents. Why did he always stay by her side recently? Even she herself felt ufortable. One day. She saw Zheng ze sitting motionlessly on the sofa beside her bed, reading the newspaper in a refined and leisurely manner. He would even take a few sips of the coffee beside him from time to time. She couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously,¡±¡±Why are you still here?¡± Zheng ze raised his brows as if he found the question a little funny. He chuckled a few times before he replied,¡±¡±Then what do you think I should do?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you go to your office to look at your documents and continue working? you¡¯ve always been a workaholic!¡± Joes was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She lowered her head slightly and mumbled softly. Zheng Zeyi was stunned. He did not expect joesse to give him such an answer. ¡°But you¡¯ve just given birth, and you need someone to apany you,¡± he continued after he regained his senses. Even if there are other people to apany you, I¡¯m still worried. I still want to stay by your side. Joes¡¯s face turned slightly red. ¡°Who needs yourpany ...¡± It was just a short sentence, but it made Jossi¡¯s thoughts run wild. Did he mean that he was only here to apany her because she was pregnant, or was he worried about her because she was pregnant? ¡­¡­ Her mind was muddled by her own wild thoughts. Qiao si felt that she was looking for trouble. She brushed away those wild thoughts, and the image of Xu Xin and Zheng ze together appeared in her mind. Everything that she had seen that day was still fresh in her mind. Her heart, which had been beating so fervently, slowly cooled down. Her expression also changed from gentle to cold. ¡°Forget it, you should just leave.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s words caught Zheng ze off guard. He was lying on the baby¡¯s bed, looking at the baby with gentleness in his eyes. When he suddenly heard Qiao SI¡¯s words, he was at a loss.¡±What did you say?¡± ¡°I say, you should leave. You don¡¯t really like this child anyway!¡± Qiao si si was just throwing a tantrum. She turned her head to the side and did not look at Zheng Zeyi at all. She said those hurtful words without thinking. ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re saying?¡± Zheng Zeyi was really shocked. He frowned and looked at Qiao si in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯ve already seen you with another woman with my own eyes. Now that you¡¯ve appeared in front of me, how can I ept it?¡± Every time Qiao si thought of that scene, the difort in her heart would increase. She admitted that she had already fallen in love with Zheng Zeyi, but she did not want to face this reality. Zheng Zeyi was also angered by her. His hands by his sides had already clenched into fists, and his eyes were filled with anger. He had always been rational, but whenever he encountered anything rted to Joes, he would always lose control of himself. However, he suddenly remembered that the doctor had said that it was normal for Joes to have emotional fluctuations since she had just given birth. At this time, he had to calm her emotions and not go against her. For the sake of Qiao si SI¡¯s health, Zheng ze decided to let the other party calm down first. He took a few deep breaths, then said in a deep voice,¡±¡±I¡¯ll go out for some fresh air. You should calm down too. If you¡¯re thirsty, remember to drink warm water instead of cold water ...¡± Qiao Si was a little stunned as she watched Zheng Zeyi¡¯s back as he left. Even though she had angered him to this extent, Zheng Zeyi could not help but show concern for her, causing her heart to be in turmoil. She recalled the scene where she had lost control just now and instantly felt a little vexed. Why had she lost control of her emotions recently? She sat on the bed in a daze and looked at the baby sleeping soundly on the small bed not far away. The frustration in her heart was somewhat appeased. Fortunately, I still have you, my baby. After a while, joesse felt her mouth go dry. Just as she was about to take the ss from the bedside table and drink it, she suddenly heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s instructions to drink warm water instead of cold water. She felt warm inside. She lifted the nket, got up, and decided to get water herself. However, perhaps it was because she had been sitting for a long time, she suddenly felt weak and was about to slip to the side. Although she was panicking, there was nothing she could do. She closed her eyes and prepared herself for the pain of falling to the ground. ¡°Be careful!¡± Just then, Zheng Zeyi opened the door and came in with a box of fruits in his hand. He took a big step forward and hugged Joes ¡®waist before helping her up slowly. He then heaved a long sigh of relief. Qiao siy in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s arms. Even though she was still a little resistant, she was more willing to ept it. ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯re fine.¡± Zheng Zeyi felt that it was extremely dangerous. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiao si si was not injured at all. He helped Qiao si to sit on the bed, and his tone was a little usatory, but more so, it was filled with heartache. ¡°Whatever you want to do, just let me do it. I¡¯ll be right outside. I can hear you whenever you call me ...¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were filled with worry and love. She also realized that she had lost control of her emotions earlier. She sat on the bed and held the warm water that Zheng Zeyi had just passed to him. The warmth slowly spread through her palm to the bottom of her heart. She pondered for a long time before saying,¡±I¡¯m sorry for just now. It¡¯s me. I was too hot-tempered. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zheng Zeyi, who was still peeling an Apple for her, was stunned for a moment. Then, he chuckled and said,¡±it¡¯s alright. I¡¯ve been there for a long time.¡± In order not to appear too awkward, Jossi kept trying to find a topic to talk about. She asked,¡±¡±Have you thought of the baby¡¯s name?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zheng Zeyi carefully removed the cores from the fruit before passing it to her. He said gently,¡±¡±Let¡¯s call her Zheng Yuqiao!¡± ¡°Why is she called Zheng Yuqiao?¡± Jossi felt a little strange, but she only reacted after repeating herself. ¡®What does this mean? Zheng Yuqiao, Zheng siqiao ...¡± She was surprised. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to have such a name. ¡°The baby¡¯s parents are going to register the baby now.¡± The nurse knocked on their door and said with a smile,¡± Joesse agreed as she gestured for Zheng ze to go over. ¡°Fill in the baby¡¯s name in this box,¡± the nurse prompted. Zheng ze nodded as he filled in the box with the words ¡°Zheng Jiaqiao¡±. ¡°Zheng Yuqiao? It seems like you love your wife a lot! He even put his wife¡¯s name together with yours when he named the baby. ¡± The nurse immediately saw through Zheng Zeyi¡¯s intention in naming the baby and pointed it out. Chapter 678

¡°Hey, nurse, what did you say?¡± Coincidentally, there was a woman who was getting ready to be discharged. She seemed to be quite familiar with the nurse. Seeing the nurse¡¯s envious smile, she went over to take a look.¡±Zheng Yuqiao, what does this mean?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so funny about that?¡±the woman thought it was strange. ¡°Aunty, you don¡¯t understand this, do you?¡± The nurse smiled enviously and sweetly. She felt that the woman who married the man in front of her was too lucky. Her husband was handsome and loved her so much. This was a blessing that he had umted for several lifetimes! The young nurse saw the woman¡¯s confused look and patiently exined to her,¡±¡±Aunty, look, this Zheng is this man¡¯s surname, and this Qiao is his wife¡¯s surname. The ¡®si¡¯ in the middle meant yearning. Do you understand now that I¡¯ve exined it to you?¡± Therefore, it was really a blessing to be able to be this gentleman¡¯s wife! The nurse felt that it was extremely romantic. She put her hands together in front of her chest and said,¡±I only hope that I can meet someone who loves me so much!¡± Zheng Zeyi had been filling in the baby¡¯s registration information. He heard the nurse¡¯s praise as he filled it in. He only smiled and did not mind. He only felt that this was what he should do. He truly loved Joes deeply. ¡°It¡¯s an honor for him to be my wife,¡±he said in a gentle voice. The certainty in his words moved everyone present. The woman, who had juste over to join in the fun, didn¡¯t expect to be stuffed with dog food, and was instantly unhappy. At this moment, her husband rushed over in a hurry, carryingrge and small bags of diapers. ¡°Honey, can we go now?¡± The middle-aged man was sweating profusely, but he didn¡¯t have the time to wipe it off. He just looked at his wife with an eager expression. However, when the woman saw his sorry state, she felt a surge of anger. The woman raised her hand and twisted the man¡¯s ear, turning it around fiercely. ¡°Look at you, why don¡¯t you learn from others? Look at how much other people love their wives ...¡± ¡°Aiyo, honey, I know I was wrong. I¡¯ll learn, I¡¯ll definitely learn. I¡¯ll ask this little brother for advice now.¡± The man kept begging for mercy, afraid that the woman would twist off his ears. Thisical scene made the nurse cover her mouth andugh non-stop. Zheng Zeyi could not help butugh as the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. The couple left just like that. Zheng Zeyi looked at their backs and suddenly felt a little envious. Such a simple and happy life was what he wanted to have. After filling in all the baby¡¯s registration information and confirming that there were no mistakes, he returned to joesse¡¯s ward. He looked at Joes, who was lying down with her back facing the door. His heart ached again. He knew that Joes would not forgive him so easily, but he still felt terrible and could not ept Joes¡¯s cold treatment. ¡°Sisi, what should I do with you?¡± Zheng Zeyi mumbled in a low voice, his tone filled with worry. There was a sudden rustling sound on the bed. Zheng Zeyi thought that he had woken up Qiao si. He froze and did not know what to do. In the end, she only turned over, and her hands and feet were exposed. Zheng Zeyi smiled dotingly.¡±Why are you still acting like a child? You even lifted the nket when you were sleeping. ¡± Although he said that, there was no me in his words. He tiptoed over, afraid that he would wake Joes up. He gently covered Joes with the nket and ced his hands and feet under the nket, afraid that she would catch a cold. He held her hand and touched the bloody marks that he had made on her hand. He stopped covering her with the nket and caressed the marks on Joes ¡®hand. He thought to himself,¡±she must have been in a lot of pain back then.¡± He recalled what he had done when the child was born. The regret in her heart filled her entire heart. ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll do everything I can topensate you.¡± After covering Joes with the nket, he did not leave immediately. He was only bending down at first, but he slowly bent down and looked at his beloved woman up close. He scrutinized Joes¡¯s face, his deep eyes filled with nostalgia. When he saw that Joes¡¯s brows were tightly knitted even when she was asleep, he could not help but help her to smooth them out. He only hoped that she would not frown so often in the future. It would only make his heart ache even more. His gaze swept past her delicate eyes, her tall nose, her bright red lips, and the slight blush on her face. Zheng ze¡¯s heart was moved. He raised his hand and touched Joes ¡®smooth cheek with his long fingers. However, Zheng Zeyi noticed something unusual after a while. He realized that Joss¡¯s face was getting redder and redder. At first, it was just a faint pink, but now it was flushed red. The temperature of his forehead was also rising, and it was even a little hot. Zheng ze started to panic. He touched his own forehead and touched Joes ¡®head again. After confirming that Joes¡¯ body temperature had indeed risen, he saw that there was still no reaction from her and that she was still in a deep sleep. Panicking, he hugged Joes with both hands and started shaking her gently. ¡°Sisi! Sisi!¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s voice was trembling. He did not realize that he was nervous and helpless. He did not want to lose Joes again. Seeing that there was no reaction from Qiao si, Zheng Zeyi quickly pressed the call button. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Quicklye to the ward! My wife is having a fever!¡± The nurse immediately rushed to the ward when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s call. As he consoled Zheng Zeyi, telling him not to be anxious and to wait patiently, he took out the thermometer in an orderly manner to measure Qiao SI¡¯s temperature and observed the surrounding environment. She saw that the ward waspletely sealed, even the curtains were closed tightly, and she already understood a little. The nurse took the thermometer and looked at it. The thermometer showed a normal body temperature. She told Zheng Zeyi calmly,¡±your wife is not having a fever.¡± You don¡¯t have to be so nervous. ¡± Seeing Zheng Zeyi heave a sigh of relief, she then told him slowly. ¡°She¡¯s in an isted environment now, so her body can¡¯t adapt to it. That¡¯s why her temperature suddenly rose.¡± ¡°You can open the doors and windows appropriately to let in some fresh air. It¡¯ll be much better that way.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be long before the pregnant woman¡¯s body temperature drops automatically.¡± Zheng Zeyi listened attentively, not missing a single detail. The nurse could not help butugh when she saw that Zheng Zeyi was in a state of extreme nervousness.¡±This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a nervous husband. This is the first time I¡¯m seeing a father, right?¡± Zheng Zeyi smiled. The heavy stone in her heart was finally lifted. Chapter 679

After a period of time, joesse was ready to be discharged from the hospital. As it seemed like it was almost time for her to be discharged, she decided to do so now. There was no need for her to continue staying here. ¡°Since you¡¯re going to be discharged, why don¡¯t you let me escort you? anyway, this has already happened. What do you think?¡± When Qiao si heard this, she already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. Therefore, she nodded her head at the end. However, he did not expect that at this moment, Joes¡¯s toot would ring. Hence, Zheng Zeyi was a little confused. He did not know who would call them at this time. ¡°Why does this phone ring? Do you want me to hang up directly?¡± Zheng Zeyi had already hung up the phone, but he did not expect it to ring again. He was getting impatient and wanted to turn off the phone, but Qiao si stopped him. ¡°Give me this number first. Maybe my assistant is calling me.¡± Qiao si said this gently. She really hoped that Zheng Zeyi would hand his phone over to her right now. Perhaps it was because her assistant had something important to tell her. In the end, Zheng ze could not change his mind, so Qiao si could only pass the phone to Qiao si. When Qiao si brought the phone over, it was indeed her assistant. ¡°Hey, did something happen?¡± The assistant finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Joes had picked up the phone. He was the one who was really afraid just now. He was afraid that everything would be over if Joes did not pick up the phone. ¡°Yes, yes, it¡¯s very important. A jewelry designer wants to meet you. I wanted to cancel the contract, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be so determined to meet you. Do you want to meet him?¡± When Jossi heard this, she definitely had to take this opportunity to meet him. After all, she had not bothered about these things previously because of her pregnancy. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, you can just agree to it. I¡¯ve already agreed to meet you.¡± When the assistant heard this, he did not expect that Joes would actually want to meet her. Hence, he was sessfully scared off. As Joes¡¯s body had not recovered yet, they had to meet her just like that. Just as they were about to say something inappropriate, they did not expect Joes¡¯s firm tone, so they could only keep quiet. ¡°Alright, alright. I already know how to answer, so I¡¯ll just be at ease.¡± When she finished her sentence, hou Qiaosi hung up the phone. After she hung up, she turned around and saw Zheng ze. His face was always ck, so she was shocked at that moment. She didn¡¯t expect Zheng Zeyi to stare at her like that. ¡°Why do you look a little angry?¡± Joes was a little hesitant. She had already said this, but she did not expect the male Association to be angry because of this. She did not know what caused this. Zheng Zeyi also felt that Qiao sisi knew that he was angry, so his face instantly darkened at this moment. He did not want Qiao sisi to interact with that so-called jewelry designer at all. Could he not afford to support Qiao sisi? ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think I can¡¯t afford to raise you?¡± Qiao Si was stunned when she heard this. She did not expect Zheng ze to shake his head after saying such childish words, indicating that he did not mean it that way. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it that way at all. You don¡¯t have to worry too much about it, because I have some ideas about jewelry design. Now that this person has invited me to meet him, how can I not go? I¡¯ll be sorry if I don¡¯t go. ¡± ¡°But you¡¯re not fully recovered yet, and you¡¯re already going to see that so-called jewelry designer. I think you should wait until you¡¯re better before you go see him.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this in a serious tone.¡±You all hope that joesse will take care of her body.¡± When joesse heard this, she could not help but burst outughing. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what the doctor said? All the indicators in my body are quite good. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was still a little unhappy and a little jealous when he heard this. If he were to meet the jewelry designer, he did not know if the other party was a man or a woman. What if it was a man? wouldn¡¯t the two of them have a chance then? ¡°Then you should stop being so suspicious. I know what I should do and what I shouldn¡¯t do. You can just rx. You should be busy with your work happily now.¡± As the two of them were talking, the child suddenly started crying. The child¡¯s cries also attracted the attention of these people. When they looked over, the two of them hurriedly coaxed the child. ¡°How do you think we should coax this child from now on? why is he still crying? I¡¯m already here, so why is he still crying?¡± Joes could not help but blurt out. After all, this was the first time she had said anything about herself inside. As parents, there must be a lot of things that they did not understand. Hence, she was a little confused as to why this child was still crying. The patient¡¯s family members who passed by had already seen him. The child also hurriedly walked over and was very enthusiastic and concerned. ¡°Is this child hungry? You should give him this milk powder. ¡± They didn¡¯t expect that when they gave the child milk powder in the end, the child would really cry. People with this experience were indeed different from them who had no experience. Therefore, they were very grateful in the end. After the child stopped crying, Zheng Zeyi sent joesse home to rest.

When Qiao sisi appeared, she realized that Zheng Zeyi did not seem to be sending her to the ce they had agreed on. Hence, she was dumbfounded and confused. Why did she feel that Zheng Zeyi was throwing a tantrum at her? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you send me to where I came from, but here instead?¡± Joes said this sentence in confusion and kept staring at Zheng Zeyi. When she saw that Joes was staring at her, she had a different expression in her heart. Now that she had sent him back to this house, it was for his safety. ¡°Although you¡¯re in good health now, you¡¯ve only just given birth to this child, so you need to rest well.¡± Qiao si stretched out her hand and scratched her head. She had been staring at Zheng Zeyi the whole time. Was this really what she meant? ¡°I want to know if one thing is true. Do you have other thoughts?¡± Zheng Zeyi was a little flustered by joesse¡¯s stare, so he had no choice but to tell her at this time. Since this house was very safe, he naturally lived in this house. Otherwise, were they really going to send him to meet this jewelry designer? Who knew what would happen after he sent it over? ¡°It¡¯s safe here, so I didn¡¯t send you there. You should rest at home and adjust your body. As for other things, I don¡¯t think you need to think so much.¡± When Qiao si heard this, she already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. So, in the end, she could only nod her head and look up at Zheng Zeyi again. She felt that he had changed a lot. ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re right. Then I¡¯ll have to stay in this house reluctantly.¡± When Zheng ze heard these words, he could not help but smile. He even went to get a cup of hot water for joesse and ced it in front of her. ¡°Drink some warm water. After all, you just came back.¡± Joes looked around the house and went straight to the room that she was familiar with. It seemed like she had not been to this room for a long time. Their hearts trembled slightly. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I haven¡¯t been back in a long time. I actually feel a little warm at this moment.¡± After he said that, Zheng Zeyi hugged Joes and told her gently. ¡°Since you like it, then you must stay here well. Don¡¯t run around in the future, and I won¡¯t make you angry again.¡± Because at that time, he had really scared himself. He simply felt that it was very unbelievable. He had never thought that he would actually run out with his life on the line. Fortunately, the mother and son were safe and sound. ¡°You know what? I was actually already frightened by you before this. ¡± Qiao si raised her head to take a look. Zheng Zeyi had already seen the look in his eyes and roughly knew what was going on. ¡°Because the things that the two of you did before were really misleading. I was so angry because I didn¡¯t know the truth. You have to learn to put yourself in someone else¡¯s shoes, understand?¡± After he said this, Zheng Zeyi increased his strength and hugged Qiao si tightly. ¡°I know. I won¡¯t make you angry again. If I do, I¡¯ll be this pug.¡± After Qiao si heard this, she reached out and touched Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hair gently. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hair was still as soft as ever, and she liked to touch it. All of a sudden, the children started to cry, sessfully breaking the wonderful atmosphere between them. ¡°The child is hungry.¡± Zheng Zeyi couldn¡¯t help but look at the child. This little guy had really cried out at this critical moment. He had already remembered it and would teach him a lesson in the future. For some reason, Zheng Zeyi felt that this little guy was going to snatch Joes away from him in the future. However, no matter what, Joes was his. How could he let this little guy snatch her away? It was just wishful thinking. ¡°This little guy only knows how to cry here. If he tries to snatch you away from me in the future, I won¡¯t let him off. Even if he¡¯s my son, it¡¯s the same.¡± After Qiao si heard this, why did she feel that Zheng Zeyi was no different from this little brat? he was getting more and more childish. ¡°He¡¯s still a baby now. You¡¯re not a baby anymore. How can you argue with a baby? He¡¯s just hungry. ¡± Qiao sisi said this with a smile, but Zheng Zeyi was still a little unhappy. He felt that this child should not have appeared in front of them and should have let the two of them live happily together. At this moment, joesse also noticed the difference in the room. It was the baby. Everything in the small room was also inside. This also meant that Zheng Zeyi had made thorough preparations. Therefore, they could not help but feel touched at this moment. They had never thought that Zheng Zeyi would actually do something like this. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to prepare this room for the baby. You really surprised me.¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he also raised his head to take a look. He had indeed prepared this room seriously. After all, this brat was his son. He had to prepare it for him. ¡°No matter what, this guy is still my son. Since we want to add him to the family, we have to prepare a room for him.¡± Zheng Zeyi took a sip of water and said without hesitation. His eyes were filled with joy because he could feel the warmth of this home. Before he had joesse, he had felt that this home was cold and lonely. Qiao si si was also very happy. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to do so many things even when she was not in the house. Chapter 681

Time passed by just like that. Very soon, it was the day that Qiao si si was going to be discharged. Zheng ze went to help Qiao si with the discharge procedures and supported her as they walked. Chen Anna and Jiang Luo decided to leave when they saw that Joes had returned home safely. They did not want to disturb the two of them, and they had also had this misunderstanding before. ¡°The two of us will be leaving first. You must take good care of your bodies, understand? Especially you, Jossi. ¡± Upon hearing Anna Chen¡¯s words, Joes knew that this woman was definitely worried about her. Hence, she immediately revealed a smile on her face and told Anna Chen without hesitation. She was not a three-year-old child. Now that she was a mother, how could she not know how to take care of herself? ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I know what I have to do. I¡¯m not a child. How can I not know how to take care of my body?¡± Joes had directly told Chen Anna to be at ease. Looking at his grandfather who was like an old mother, she could not help but feel that this was a little ridiculous. ¡°Alright, alright. I know that you should know what to do, so I won¡¯t say anything more. However, I also hope that you can understand. You must take good care of yourself now and not go crazy like before, understand?¡± When she thought of the time when she was about to give birth, he had run out directly, and her heart was filled with the same thoughts. Some of them were afraid that this person would leave immediately, so they didn¡¯t say anything more at this final moment. Jiang Luo also patted Zheng Zeyi¡¯s shoulder gently. Zheng Zeyi turned to look at Jiang Luo. He didn¡¯t know why the man patted his shoulder out of the blue and used that look to signal him. Zheng Zeyi instantly understood what she meant. Zheng Zeyi had already used this look to hint back, indicating that he knew what to do. At this moment, Joes had already looked at the few people in front of her with a different kind of light in her eyes. She didn¡¯t expect them to talk so much, but she was still a little reluctant, so she walked directly to the man. Moreover, during this time, this person had been busy and had done a lot of work. In that case, he should entertain them well or ask them to stay for a meal. ¡°Why don¡¯t you just stay for a meal? it¡¯s gettingte anyway, and it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Joes also said this without hesitation. She looked at them and hoped that they would stay for dinner at this time. However, she did not expect them to shake their heads and reject her. ¡°We still have this matter to attend to, so we won¡¯t be staying for dinner. However, I still want to take a look at this treasure before I leave. After all, this treasure is quite cute.¡± In fact, they were already in front of the child at this moment. When they saw his smiling face, his nose, and his eyes, they couldn¡¯t help but smile. They believed that their future children would be just as cute. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look for it at this time. I¡¯ll leave this ce first. ¡± Chen Anna¡¯s eyes carried a smile as she said this. After she said this, they all nodded their heads. Since they actually had such a matter, then they would not force these people to stay. Thus, they left the ce at the end. Jiang Luo was a smart and quick-witted person. When she saw the scene in front of her, she immediately left, leaving Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si standing there, feeling a little awkward. Joes carried her child and entered the house. When she saw the child in her arms, she smiled. Indeed, this child looked simr to her. ¡°Why don¡¯t you smile for your mother? do you think I can make you Call Me Mother now? I don¡¯t know why, but I¡¯m actually looking forward to the moment you call me ¡°mommy.¡±¡± Zheng Zeyi heard what joesse said and knew what she was thinking. He could not help but be slightly surprised. He also sat beside Joes and watched her quietly, not knowing what to do. When it was time for dinner, Zheng Zeyi thought about this. He had to exin things to Jossi properly. He definitely could not let the misunderstanding between the two of them continue like this. Some misunderstandings had to be resolved eventually. If they were not resolved, the misunderstanding would continue like this. In order to prevent this misunderstanding from continuing, he could only tell joesse. Hence, he walked to joesse¡¯s side for the time being. When joesse saw Zheng Zeyi walking over, she was instantly confused and did not know what he meant. ¡°What happened between me and Xu Xinst time was also a misunderstanding. If you don¡¯t believe me, I have everything here. You can also take a look at this USB.¡± Zheng Zeyi had already taken out the recording to prevent any estrangement between them. Therefore, Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to look for the video and record everything that had happened. The purpose was to clear up the misunderstanding between the two of them and stop them from continuing to misunderstand each other. When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s serious and innocent look, a different expression appeared in her eyes. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to exin this matter to her so seriously. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi was also afraid that she would not believe him, so at this moment, joesse already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. In the end, he took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Zeyi seriously. Zheng Zeyi was a little afraid in his heart. He was afraid that Qiao si si would not believe him, so he swallowed his saliva and looked him in the eye. ¡°I believe you¡¯re not lying to me.¡± Zheng ze was as happy as a child when he heard this.

¡°Alright, don¡¯t be so happy here. Let¡¯s hurry up and eat here. Otherwise, the food will be cold by the time we finish eating.¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he also picked up the rice bowls on the table and frantically added more dishes for joesse. ¡°If you stay at home, I won¡¯t be able to finish it. So, you shouldn¡¯t add more dishes for me now. You should be eating properly now, not adding more dishes for me like crazy.¡± When they saw the dishes in their bowls, they just buried their heads in the food and ate. However, he was indeed very happy in his heart. From the beginning to the end, he had never thought that Joes had such trust in Him. From now on, he must treat Joes well and not treat her like that anymore. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. There¡¯s one more thing that I didn¡¯t tell you. I was afraid that it would be hard on you, so I told you that I¡¯ve hired a confinementdy for you.¡± Qiao SI¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise when she heard this. She had never thought that Zheng Zeyi would be so considerate of her. He even hired a confinement nanny for her. She found it unbelievable. ¡°However, the maternity matron won¡¯t be able toe today because he still has something to do today, so he can onlye tomorrow. But even if hees tomorrow, you¡¯ll be able to have a good sleep tonight. I¡¯ll take care of the baby, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this in all seriousness. After the meal, Zheng Zeyi also took the initiative to clean up the dishes like a hardworking nanny. When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s situation, she was instantly stunned. This was not Zheng Zeyi¡¯s style. After everything was done, he took a look and told Joes to go rest. He would take good care of the baby. After all, he had already experienced this in the hospital these few days. He knew what he should do and what he shouldn ¡®t. At this moment, Joes also felt a wave of sleepiness. No matter what, she was already feeling sleepy at this moment. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have to trouble you with the baby now. I¡¯m going to sleep now. If you¡¯re tired, just tell me.¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded without hesitation to show that he knew what to do. He saw that joesse was also looking at the baby after entering the house. He couldn¡¯t help but look at the baby¡¯s eyes with a touch of joy because he was now the Father. Since he was the Father, he must act like a father and not like how he used to be. ¡°I really want to wait for you to grow up.¡± They did not know what the child would be like when he grew up, so they had some other thoughts in their hearts. He had been apanying the baby all this time. He was afraid that when the baby was hungryter, he would also have to make milk powder. Because it was his first time being a father, he did not know much about the baby. He had been lying on the bed and sleeping. Suddenly, he had a nightmare and opened his eyes. He didn¡¯t expect that after waking up, he would habitually reach his hand to the side. He didn¡¯t expect that there was no one next to him, so he got up and looked at the time. It was already three or fouro¡¯ clock in the morning. Could it be that Zheng Zeyi had been there all along? Perhaps she had not been sleeping recently, so she just left quietly. When she went out and saw Zheng Zeyi apanying the baby, her heart ached a little. ¡°It¡¯s already sote, but this guy is still busy here.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi also turned his head around. He did not expect to see that Qiao sisi had been looking at him the whole time. She had sessfully given Zheng Zeyi a shock. He could not help but be a little stunned. Could it be that Qiao sisi was sleepwalking? Hence, he walked straight to joesse. Joesse was shocked as she did not know what Zheng Zeyi was nning to do. ¡°You¡¯re suddenly leaning on me all of a sudden. You¡¯ve really given me a fright. Why don¡¯t I take care of the baby? you should go to bed. After all, it¡¯s already sote. I¡¯ve only just woken up.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately refused to let her go to bed without thinking. He did not care about himself. He had already said that he would take care of the baby Tonight. It was enough for him to rest well. ¡°If you¡¯re tired, you can go and rest.¡± It was already the next day and the maternity matron had arrived. When she saw Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi, both of them were quietly waiting for the maternity matron to arrive. ¡°No matter what, I¡¯ve been a confinement nanny for so many years. I know what to take note of. If you have to take note of something when I¡¯m not around, I¡¯ll tell you directly now.¡± When the confinementdy said this, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi listened to her quietly like students. This was because the confinementdy was also someone who understood children very well. The confinementdy said all this in a fluster. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi felt that this person was talking too much nonsense. After all, she had been saying all this while. Both of them were having a headache and did not know what this person was nning to do. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi already knew what they should and shouldn¡¯t do, so the nanny told Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi directly. She would definitely take good care of this child because she had enough experience. If not for herck of experience, how could she have be a confinement nanny? ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll also hand this child over to you. You must also take good care of him. As long as you take good care of him, the price is not a problem.¡± Zheng ze immediately gave a guarantee. Chapter 683

At the same time, the time that Jossi and the jewelry designer had agreed on had arrived. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. We have to hurry over now. If we don ¡®t, the consequences will be unimaginable. ¡± After he said that, the assistant nodded his head. He took a look and confirmed that it was indeed almost time for the agreed time. They must not bete. The consequences would be unimaginable if they werete. This was their first time meeting each other, and they would probably leave a bad impression. In order to leave a good impression, they could not bete. In the end, they arrived at their destination in ten minutes. They heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn¡¯t arrive on time. The consequences would be unimaginable if they werete. ¡°Are we going to enter directly after this? Or do you want us to tidy up our appearance first?¡± He looked at the two of them and didn¡¯t expect that their hair was already a little messy. They nodded at each other and fixed their hair. After they were done, they walked in calmly, pretending that nothing had happened. They had used their fastest speed to rush to the front. The jewelry designers had been waiting for them for a long time. When they saw them arrive at this time, they smiled at the sight of democracy. When they arrived, they walked directly to Jessi. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m here this time because I want to work with you on a jewelry project.¡± The jewelry designer said this seriously. He really wanted to know what Joes thought. ¡°Where can this piece of jewelry be disyed after it¡¯s finished?¡± Joes asked in puzzlement. She really wanted to know where the jewelry design would be disyed once it waspleted. There had to be a ce to disy it. ¡°If the design ispleted, it will be reincarnated in a fashion show. I think you should be very familiar with it. So, once it is disyed, many people will see it. Once they see it, many people will like it. Then the sales will be very high.¡± After Joes heard this, she had been hesitating in her heart. She did not know how to resolve this matter, so her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. But even so, what could she do? The assistant also thought of Jossi and the child. If he were to follow this person to do jewelry design, wouldn¡¯t he not have the time to apany the child? This child also needed time to apany him. Just as the assistant was about to say something, he did not expect Jossi to reveal it and agree to this matter without any hesitation. The assistant was already shocked. He did not expect Jossi to agree to this matter. It was simply unbelievable. This was because he had never thought that Joes would agree to this. This made him feel rather lost, but no matter how lost he was, what could he do? ¡°In that case, what should we do next?¡± This person also said this at this time as if he was deep in thought. The jewelry designer thought about it seriously. After thinking for a while, he had alreadye up with a solution. In that case, he could only go and take a look at the previous jewelry design. After all, as long as he looked at the previous jewelry design, he might have some inspiration. He just needed to do what he should do next. ¡°What is a jewelry design? Don¡¯t tell me she won thest Championship of the jewelry designpetition?¡± They wanted to know when this jewelry design was made, so they had some doubts at this time. No matter how confused they were, they had to get the answer they wanted now. ¡°This is indeed the champion of thest jewelry designpetition. That¡¯s why I¡¯m giving this to you.¡± The assistant stood at the side, not knowing what was going on. He didn¡¯t know what the man meant by his words, nor did he know what the two of them were going to do next. Anyway, no matter what, he was still Jossi¡¯s assistant. Since that was the case, he would definitely have to help Jossi properly. These were all his tasks. ¡°At that time, our most important mission was to ... We must first figure out what the theme of this jewelry design is. As long as we figure out the theme, we can then have a way to start, and we can¡¯t be too flustered. ¡± As a jewelry designer, he also wanted to be the champion this time. As long as he could be the champion, perhaps he could make many people admit that he was very strong. Did joesse know what a jewelry designer meant? Therefore, he nodded and said that he would study it carefully when he went back, so he hoped that he could rest assured. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since I¡¯ve already agreed to work with you, I¡¯ll definitely do my best toplete this task, so you can just rest assured.¡± Even though Joes had not been doing these things for the past few days, she had not mentioned that she had the strength to do so. How could she not know how to do it? ¡°I¡¯m not worried about that either, because I¡¯ve seen how private you are. I¡¯ve been very direct with you this time. I want to work with you. If I don¡¯t believe you, how can I work with you?¡± The jewelry designer smiled and said this. When she said this, Joes also felt that it made sense. Since the jewelry designer had said this, why should she think so much? ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s part ways. I¡¯ll go back and think about where I should start. You should go back and prepare for your own things.¡± The assistant instantly felt like he was extra. If he had known, he wouldn¡¯t havee here. The theme of the fashion show this time was ¡®blue¡¯. Jossi went home to study it and went over to look after her child when she saw him. Chapter 684

Joes had also taken them out at night. Today, she was the one who had handed over the jewelry design. This was the blueprint, and when they saw it, they had a different look in their eyes. Zheng Zeyi saw that joesse had been busy the whole time. After she was alive, she had been sitting there obediently at this time and was busy with her own matters, so he did not disturb her. No matter what, since Joes was here, it would be inappropriate for him to disturb his work. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, help me get theputer in this room.¡± Joes did not hesitate to say this. When Joes heard this, she hurriedly stood up and immediately went to bring in theputer in the room. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you need me to do, you can just tell me. I¡¯ll definitely do my best. After all, you can be at ease when I do things.¡± When Qiao si heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words and saw the smile in his eyes, she could not help but find it a little ridiculous. ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait here for you to get it.¡± Joes couldn¡¯t help but yawn after she finished speaking. For some reason, she felt a little sleepy, so she stood up and went to get herself another cup of coffee. Coffee reminded him that he still had to look at the blueprint, so he had to go no matter what. Inari¡¯s 120% spirit couldn¡¯t allow her to fall asleep like this. Thus, he finished the coffee in one gulp. When Zheng ze came out with hisputer, he saw Joes and finished the bitter coffee in an instant. He could not help but stand there with hisputer, not knowing why Joes had finished the coffee in one go. ¡°Why did you make yourself a cup of coffee all of a sudden? if you wanted to drink coffee, you might as well have asked me to make it for you. Besides, you¡¯ve only just recovered, so it¡¯s better to drink less coffee.¡± Zheng Zeyi was concerned about Qiao sisi and said this without hesitation. He also hoped that Qiao sisi would stop tormenting her own body. After all, he was the mother of her child. ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re a Chatterbox today? leave yourptop here, I still have things to do.¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, he immediately squatted down. He really wanted to know what joesse was busy with. In the end, he saw that it was a drawing, and it was a design of a jewelry. In that instant, he had already recalled Joes¡¯s identity. He could not help but be slightly surprised. He did not expect that Joes ¡®identity would be like this. ¡°The design of this piece of jewelry looks pretty good. I just don¡¯t know if there¡¯s any giarism in it.¡± However, even though the homework had mentioned this by chance, he did not expect that the moment he said it, Joes would immediately have some ideas. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, it reminds me of a very important matter. It¡¯s already quitete outside, so why don¡¯t you go to sleep first and leave this to me?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately nodded his head. However, he was still a little worried about Joes, so he decided to stay here and apany her. ¡°No matter what, I¡¯ll stay here with you for a while. I don¡¯t seem to be sleepy at all, and you¡¯ve been busy all by yourself. I might feel very ufortable. How about this? I¡¯lle back tomorrow to do these things.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi. She had some other thoughts in her mind, so she walked directly to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side. ¡°This thing is very important, and I have to look after it by tonight because I still have things to do tomorrow. So I think you can just rest and don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯ll go when I¡¯m tired, so you can rest assured.¡± After he said this, Zheng Zeyi had no choice but to let go of joesse. He left the ce just like that. He tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep, so he just looked around. Joes had already turned on herputer and checked it carefully. She did not expect that the jewelry design really had the element of giarism. She felt a headache at that moment. He didn¡¯t expect the previous designer to cheat like this. This person was simply a scum among jewelry designers, because jewelry designers should focus on original ideas, but this kind of giarism couldn¡¯t help but be a little ridiculous. In the end, they got up early the next day and put on their own clothes. They went out directly to find the jewelry designer. Kerry did not expect joesse to be so direct. She had already arrived so early in the morning. Could it be that she had alreadypleted the design? Therefore, at this moment, hou¡¯s face was filled with joy. ¡°You¡¯ve alreadypleted the design, right? let me see it.¡± He was also looking forward to it. He had already said this, so he really wanted to know how he would change it. Joes had an expressionless face, and she had been looking at the person in front of her the entire time. ¡°I have something very important to tell you. This jewelry design is actually from the previous designer. Do we still continue with this giarism?¡± Kerry nodded his head without hesitation. He had to continue. At this moment, Joes could not help but want to curse out loud. However, she held it in in in the end. She did not expect this person to actually want to continue. What was he thinking? He also had some doubts in his heart. Joes continued to ask a few more questions that she did not expect. To think that this person would still be using this as a cover. This meant that he was not willing to tell Joes the truth. ¡°So, you don¡¯t have to think so much about this matter. Just do what you need to do.¡± Joesse felt that this matter was not that simple, but after thinking about it, she had already signed the contract. Could she still breach it? Ye could only bite the bullet and go up. Chapter 685

Chapter 685: Why did you stop?

Joes had already gone back. When Zheng ze saw Joes ¡®dispirited look, he immediately walked to her side and patted her shoulder gently. ¡°Did something good happen today? If you¡¯ve met him, just tell me directly. ¡± When Zheng ze said this, he was even winking at Qiao si. When Qiao si saw Zheng ze¡¯s expression, she could not help but burst outughing. ¡°I suddenly feel that you¡¯re a funny person. Alright, stop winking at me. I need to hurry in and get this blueprint.¡± Even so, Joes could not help but reach out and gently touch Zheng Zeyi¡¯s head. When Zheng Zeyi saw Joes rubbing his head, he could not help but feel that he was like a little dog. Therefore, they did not say anything at this final moment and just quietly followed Joes in. The moment Qiao si walked in, she immediately took out herputer. Zheng ze, who had been busy, saw Qiao si and was busy for a few hours but did not stop. He recalled that he had said that he had been busy for such a long timest night and his heart ached for her. ¡°How great would it be if I could understand these drawings? I can only me myself for not understanding these drawings. In the end, I couldn¡¯t even help. I¡¯m really an ipetent husband.¡± Zheng Zeyi also sighed a little. After saying this, if only he could understand it, how good would that be? he could even help Qiao si, but he could not understand it at all. Zheng Zeyi also went to the bathroom to wash up, but he did not expect to see joesse busy there after washing up. It was already the time of the clock, but he was still busy there. His heart ached. In the end, they directly broke a cup of tea for Joes. This cup of tea was also for the beauty and youth Maintenance Joes to take a look. When she saw the cup of tea, she could not help but tease. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect you to know about health maintenance and even know how to make this health maintenance tea for me. It¡¯s gettingte. You should go and rest. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Qiao si said these words gently. She really wanted Zheng Zeyi to go and rest now and not stay here with her. After all, she still had a lot of things to do. ¡°You haven¡¯t even slept yet, how can I go to sleep? I think I¡¯ll continue to apany you in the present. ¡± Qiao si knew that she would not be able to persuade Zheng Zeyi, so in the end, she could onlypromise and let Zheng Zeyi apany her while he focused on the information on theputer. However, Zheng Zeyi had left when Qiao Si was not paying attention. He went to the kitchen silently and tidied up the kitchen for two hours. The air was filled with this fragrant smell. Joesse was already attracted by the fragrant smell. No matter howte it was, she could smell such a good smell. Who was making such delicious food? however, when she raised her head, she did not expect to see Zheng ze holding a te of supper. ¡°You.¡± After Joes saw her shocked expression, she immediately told Joes that she had seen him just now. Had he been here all along? Perhaps that was why he was too embarrassed to disturb her. Therefore, at the end of the day, she would go to the kitchen alone and cook for him for a while. ¡°You¡¯re busy, but you still have to eat. I already felt that you were a little hungry just now, so I went to the kitchen to cook something for you. Eat it while it¡¯s hot.¡± At this moment, Joes¡¯s eyes were also filled with a smile. She had never thought that she would be so happy, just like all the unhappy things that had happened in the past. In that instant, they had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, Joes was hugging Zheng Zeyi tightly. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to you today. If it wasn¡¯t for you, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have been able to do these things well. Also, thank you for cooking me this midnight snack. It¡¯s delicious. You should have a bite too.¡± It had to be said that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s food was really delicious. Even those chefs could notpare to him. Because of Zheng Zeyi, all of these dishes had this unique taste. ¡°If you like it, then eat more. I¡¯ll make it for you the next time we have it.¡± When he saw Joes happily eating the food he had cooked, his heart felt as sweet as honey. To him, as long as Joes was happy, he did not care about anything else. However, even if Joes did not earn money, he would still have to earn his own money. Even if he earned his own money, it would be supporting work. After all, if he married Joes, she would definitely support him. No matter what he wanted to buy, he would also give him money to buy it. Joes was also a little tired. Hence, she tried her best to support her body at this time and finished all the work. She could not help but stretchzily. He had finally finished all the work. If he continued to be busy, he would soon lose his life. ¡°I¡¯m going to the model show tomorrow. Are you willing toe with me?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he agreed without hesitation. He came down and told Qiao SI that he was willing to go with her. After all, it was not easy for the two of them to resolve this misunderstanding. Of course, he did not mind going together. ¡°If we¡¯re done today, let¡¯s go in and sleep. It¡¯s already sote, and we still have things to do tomorrow.¡± After Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisiid on the bed, Zheng Zeyi also remembered that he had not been intimate with Qiao sisi for a long time. Therefore, he took the opportunity to kiss her before she could regain her senses. Qiao si si understood Zheng Zeyi¡¯s intentions, so she was very cooperative. After all, it had been a long time since Zheng Zeyi had done that with her. However, he did not expect that he would stop after that. Joesse was also dumbfounded, not knowing what Zheng Zeyi meant. ¡°Why did you stop?¡± ¡°You¡¯re already so tired today. If I continue to do this, won¡¯t I end up like this dog? I¡¯ll hug you to sleep. ¡± Joes¡¯s heart warmed up and she nodded. Chapter 686

The day passed by just like that and they arrived very quickly. On the second day, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si had already packed up and looked around. Seeing that it was almost time, Qiao si hurriedly said,¡± ¡°We should leave now. If we don ¡®t, we won¡¯t make it in time. After all, it¡¯s almost time. We¡¯ll bete if we don¡¯t go now.¡± At such an important time, if the two of them still didn¡¯t go, wouldn¡¯t they be gossiped about by those people? They did not want to be gossiped about, so under Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lead, the two of them were notte and had arrived just in time. After they arrived, they went directly backstage. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I¡¯m still looking forward to this performance.¡± Because this was something that he had worked so hard for for so long, how could he not look forward to it? Moreover, he didn¡¯t know what would happen this time. He already had some thoughts in his heart. But no matter what would happen next, some things had already happened. He had to think of a way to solve it. ¡°But anticipation is anticipation. No matter what happens next, I don¡¯t think it will be as you¡¯ve expected. You can just rx.¡± After all, how could he have any doubts when his wife said that she had made something? Moreover, they all believed that this wife of theirs must be very powerful. Just like that, he walked straight to the makeup artist. Joes saw that the makeup artist had been applying makeup to her models, and she had been smiling from then on. ¡°How long have you been doing this? Do you often do makeup for these models and such?¡± When the makeup artist heard this, she nodded her head. She was definitely going to do makeup for these people because this was her job too. ¡°I¡¯ve been doing this job for a long time, and I¡¯ve been doing makeup for these people. Before you came here, I also did makeup for them.¡± When he said that, Joes could not help but feel a little surprised. At that moment, she could roughly guess that this person must have been working here for a long time. ¡°In that case, I¡¯d like to know who thest jewelry designer was.¡± The makeup artist did not think too much about it when he heard Joes¡¯s question. He thought that Joes was just asking, so he blurted out everything about the previous jewelry designer. ¡°The designer of this year¡¯s jewelry design is also the same designer from the previous year.¡± The moment he said that, Joes could roughly guess what was going on. From the looks of it, if her guess was correct, this person was definitely rted to that work. She could not help but have some other thoughts at that moment. ¡°I see. Thank you so much. Continue to do your makeup for the models. Make sure they look good. After all, the jewelry this time was carefully designed.¡± After he said that, the makeup artist nodded his head, indicating that he was his best dish and that he wouldplete it seriously. He hoped that he didn¡¯t have to worry too much. Hence, she had been putting on this makeup for them while she was tracking them. However, Joes had other concerns in her heart. ¡°I saw that you seemed a little uneasy when you came to do your homework today. Did something happen? If you are, why don¡¯t you tell me? I¡¯m willing to listen. ¡± After Joes heard this, she felt extremely upset. He had never thought that he would encounter such a thing. As soon as he saw the design, he felt a little headache because this design was also giarized. Since it was giarized, it must be very unfavorable to them. She liked honest and trustworthy people, not people who would giarize. If she had known that it was giarized, she would not have cooperated with him. ¡°AI.¡± Joes looked helplessly at the man, feeling helpless in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first ce. Everything that had happened was her own doing, so who could she me? ¡°I know what you¡¯re worried about, but some things have already happened. There¡¯s no point in worrying. It¡¯ll only make you more worried.¡± How could Joes not know after she said that? However, no matter what, he was responsible for this matter. How could he not be worried? Once he was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. There were too many things that were rted to it, not only this time, but also the previous time. ¡°Actually, I never thought that I would one day be involved in such a thing. This time, I¡¯ve seeded in doing so. I¡¯m surprised.¡± Joes could not help but blurt this out. She had never thought that she would encounter such a situation one day. ¡°So what if we met? what else can we do? Anyway, we¡¯ll just have to take it one step at a time. ¡± Zheng ze thought of other things and could not help but ask joesse again. ¡°Actually, I also want to know, but are you willing to terminate the contract? If the contract is terminated, perhaps none of these things have anything to do with you, and you can still clear your name. ¡± Joes was feeling conflicted. As she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard footsteps. She raised her head and did not expect to see Kerry. They didn¡¯t know what this person was nning to do when he walked up to them, so they were a little puzzled. ¡°I thought you guys would only arrive after a while. I didn¡¯t expect you guys to be here already. Sorry for not weing you. Please have a seat.¡± Kerry weed them warmly. Then, they saw the two of them standing together. Joes could not help but feel puzzled when she saw that this person was staring at them. Once Zheng ze knew what joesse was thinking, he immediately reached out to hold her hand. ¡°I¡¯ve been observing the two of you just now. I didn¡¯t expect that the two of you would make me so envious, as if you were a match made in heaven!¡± Chapter 687

¡°We¡¯ve already said so much just now. Now, we¡¯re going to enter the main topic. You guys better watch carefully. ¡± Kerry said in a serious tone. No matter what, he was serious about the theme of the event, so he had to take them on a tour. After all, they were also partners in this event. After Joes heard his words, she also shook his hand with a smile on her face. However, she was indeed very worried in her heart. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go and take a look at the theme. I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Zheng Zeyi could tell that Jossi was anxious. He was a little worried. Anyone would be worried. ¡°We are inferior.¡± Just as Zheng Zeyi was about to say something, he was stopped by joesse. Joesse had no intention of letting Zheng Zeyi do anything. Kerry could tell that Zheng Zeyi was about to say something, so he stopped and looked at Zheng Zeyi seriously. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. There¡¯s no need to hide it.¡± When she said this, Zheng Zeyi wanted to ask her directly what this person¡¯s involvement in giarism was all about. Why did he have to giarize for no reason, to the point that even Joes was confused? However, when they saw Joes¡¯s expression, it seemed like she was not willing to let them get involved in this matter. In the end, they could only keep their mouths shut and shake their heads calmly, indicating that nothing had happened. ¡°He doesn¡¯t intend to say anything. He just wants to know what the theme is like this time, so hurry up and show us.¡± Joes was a little embarrassed and could not help but hide it here. Her purpose was to hide it as she was afraid that some other ident would happenter. Hence, she red at Zheng Zeyi fiercely. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi pretended to be very aggrieved because everything he did was for joesse¡¯s good. However, he did not expect joesse to look at him like this. Kerry didn¡¯t have much to say. He looked at the two of them and took another step forward at thest moment. He even made a gesture of invitation. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be the host for this. Please follow me to see the theme. I think you¡¯ll be very interested.¡± When he said this, he was extremely confident. Joes had also seen the scene in front of her and wanted to know what kind of courage this person had to make such a solemn vow. If he were to talk to her about the contract termination, he didn¡¯t know if she would agree. However, on second thought, she probably wouldn¡¯t agree. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little bitter. After that, they had already seen a lot of things and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little surprised. It seemed that they were very serious about this theme. ¡°You know what? This is the standard fashion with blue as the theme, including the fashion magazine in thisputer. If you can help, I think it will be very surprising. ¡± Kerry said in a serious tone. His eyes were also smiling as he said this. When joesse heard this, she knew what Kerry meant. He didn¡¯t just want her to help him. Otherwise, why would he mention this again? Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face darkened, but joesse didn¡¯t want Zheng Zeyi to be so unhappy. ¡°What do you think of these images?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he did not expect that Joes would suddenly say this. ¡°You¡¯re asking me? Are you sure you¡¯re not asking this jewelry designer?¡± When Qiao sisi shook Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand, she told him without hesitation that Zheng Zeyi was definitely asking him. Who else could he ask? ¡°I think the design this time is very unique. It can attract the attention of arge audience.¡± Zheng Zeyi had the same smile on his face. When joesse saw that Zheng Zeyi was also very satisfied with what he had said, she nodded her head. For some reason, Kerry felt that the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other. Moreover, the two of them were talking to each other. For a moment, he found it funny, but in the end, he did notugh. Instead, he praised them. ¡°I think you two have a lot of fun doing this usually. I¡¯m envious of you two when I see you two ying here.¡± Kerry was also very satisfied with the design. He looked at Joes with anticipation and couldn¡¯t help but remind her. ¡°I think if we can get your help, we¡¯ll definitely be able to expand the influence of this publicity. This way, you¡¯ll also have a certain status in the jewelry design Circle.¡± After Joes heard this, she could not help but feel a little happy. Was this an affirmation of her own strength? Otherwise, why would he say such a thing? In an instant, he was secretly delighted. Zheng Zeyi could also see that Qiao sisi was happy, because everyone could not help but feel a little happy. If Qiao sisi already had such thoughts, what else could he do? After Qiao sisi went back, she immediately went to research a piece of jewelry. Zheng Zeyi, who was also very serious, was embarrassed to disturb her and only stood by her side to beat her up. ¡°What do you think of my little helper? Don¡¯t you think you should reward me?¡± When joesse heard this, she immediately told Zheng Zeyi to stop fooling around. She had been working on it the entire time, and when she was done, she saw that her first draft was a sess. If the theme was blue in the tears, Joes would have given the first draft to Kerry. Kerry was very happy, so he held her hand tightly. Joes¡¯s eyes were also filled with excitement. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to you, because you¡¯ve already done me a big favor.¡± Chapter 688

Chapter 688: Chapter 689-nothing serious

Trantor: 549690339

In the end, after giving it some serious thought, Joes felt that there seemed to be some problems with this preliminary model show video, because it had nothing to do with the jewelry. Therefore, she gave it some serious thought. Since it didn¡¯t seem to be rted, she might as well do it herself. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s one more thing I need to do. There¡¯s something wrong with the video of this model show. I need to go and edit it now.¡± When Kerry heard this, he nodded his head in agreement. At this moment, Joes had already rushed over in a hurry. She really wanted to know one thing-who was wearing the jewelry design that she had designed? after all, it was indeed very strange to see the model show just now. ¡°If my Deva can¡¯t make it in time, it¡¯ll be activated soon. What should I do with the number of models? If I had known earlier, I would have taken a serious look at it. I wouldn¡¯t have wasted my efforts like this and made things soplicated. ¡± Joes felt a slight headache as she said this. She also felt a little helpless in her heart. It wasn¡¯t easy for them to get here, but they didn¡¯t expect to see the model. Therefore, at this moment, his eyes were looking at the exact same body. What was going on? Where did this person go now? There were also some doubts in their hearts. Suddenly, he saw the staff member doing something in front of him. Joes hurriedly walked to the front of the staff member. The moment the staff member saw Joes ¡®appearance, he was instantly suspicious. ¡°Did something happen? if something happened to thisdy, you should be sitting in the audience now. You cane back after everything is settled.¡± When Joes heard this, she was instantly stunned. She could not help but wonder if this staff member did not know her identity at this point in time. Therefore, even she could not help but nce at this staff member. ¡°I¡¯m the designer of this piece of jewelry. Can you say that you don¡¯t recognize me?¡± When the staff heard this, they quickly came back to their senses. As expected, it was the designer, so they were very sorry. ¡°I¡¯m actually looking for my model Mary. Do you know where she is?¡± When he said this, he was very anxious. He really wanted to know where this person had gone. ¡°This model seems to be doing a show on this T-car.¡± The staff member quickly answered the question. He did not know what had happened to Joes and why she looked so anxious. After Joes heard this, she immediately looked at the stage. She did not expect that the runway would really start on this stage, and she was a little flustered. He didn¡¯t expect time to pass so quickly. This person was already on the runway, so he was a little flustered in his heart, wondering what he should do next. ¡°Why do so many things happen every day? And what is the cause of this?¡± Joes said this sentence impatiently. Recently, she had been having bad luck every day, so she had a headache and did not know what kind of trouble she should make next. At this moment, he had already run to the front desk. He didn¡¯t expect to see his model, Mary, walking on the runway. The clothes and jewelry on her were indeed very strange. Why didn¡¯t he find out about this earlier? if he had known that this was the situation, he wouldn¡¯t have let it happen. Therefore, he was a little regretful now and then, but no matter how regretful he was, he couldn¡¯t change anything now. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re here. Look at the jewelry Show that¡¯s being performed right now.¡± One of them also directly said this sentence, and there was a different look in his eyes. However, Joes was different. Her eyes were filled with anxiety. How they wished that they had already stopped using this catwalk and would not continue. It was a pity that all of this was just what he thought, and it would continue. Therefore, at this moment, hou also felt a little headache. Because Mary had already started to walk on the runway at this time. Since that was the case, he couldn¡¯t stop it. He could only hope that the audience was blind. ¡°How I wish you people were blind.¡± Just as Joes was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a shrill cry. She didn¡¯t expect Mary to sprain her ankle and fall to the ground with a plop. She was so handsome that she didn¡¯t even look that bad. When the staff member saw the scene, he quickly went to help Mary up. Mary felt a little upset in her heart. She had never thought that she would be pped in the face in such a way. She had already lost Joes ¡®face by sessfully putting on her clothes. She felt a little guilty. ¡°If I had known, I would have been more careful. Things wouldn¡¯t have turned out this way, and I wouldn¡¯t have lost face.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Mary said unhappily. After she said that, Joes had to walk to Mary and look at his feet seriously. ¡°Are you alright? Your leg?¡± He didn¡¯t expect that when he wanted them to stop, they would stop in such a way. It would be better to let him go directly, so it wouldn¡¯t be so awkward. Therefore, he felt sorry for Mary. When Mary saw Joes, she knew that Joes hade over to show her concern, so she said directly. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just a slight sprain. It¡¯s not a big deal. ¡± Chapter 689

Chapter 689: What did you remember?

Trantor: 549690339

¡°I wonder if miss Qiao hase here today to say something? If you do, just say it. ¡± After she said that, Joes nodded her head without any hesitation. Indeed, she had something to say to Mary that she almost forgot. Fortunately, Mary reminded her and she remembered. What was it that she wanted to say to him? ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I¡¯m here to tell you something very important. It¡¯s about the changes to the jewelry.¡± Mary was suddenly enlightened. Even though she was still a little confused, she roughly understood what Joes meant. Hence, she raised her head and looked at Joes. ¡°He said that I didn¡¯t hear it correctly, but no matter what, I already understand what you mean, so just rx. I know what I should do.¡± Mary wasn¡¯t an idiot. Besides, she had been a model for a long time. Since she had been a model for a long time, she knew how to do what she was supposed to do. Therefore, she told Joes not to worry too much. When Joes heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mary was present and knew what she meant. Joes exined everything in detail and was about to leave after that. After all, there was no point in staying here any longer. However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw this staff member holding a pair of shoes. He had some doubts in his heart. Was this staff member nning to destroy the shoe? The shoe was still fine. Why did he have to destroy it? thus, he walked directly to the staff member. ¡°Where did you get this pair of shoes? Wasn¡¯t she still fine? What are you nning to do?¡± When the staff heard this, they all hurriedly began to exin. ¡°This is the pair of shoes worn by Mary, the model. I thought it was useless, so I destroyed it. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Initially, Joes did not intend to say anything. However, she suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this pair of shoes. Therefore, he picked up the pair of shoes and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he saw something wrong with the shoes. Therefore, they narrowed their eyes. It was obvious that someone had tampered with the shoes. Otherwise, how could a model fall in this ce? ¡°There¡¯s nothing else. Take this pair of shoes and leave.¡± Joes pretended to be calm as she said this, as if nothing had happened. However, in reality, she had other thoughts in her heart. ¡°Alright. If you have anything to say, you can just tell me directly.¡± As he looked in the direction that the staff member left, his eyes were filled with thoughts. He had been thinking about the problem of the pair of shoes. After thinking for a long time, half of his mind was in a mess, just like this paste. All of a sudden, Zheng Zeyi had already arrived at the bottom of Joes¡¯s building, so he took out his phone and gave Joes a call. Initially, joesse did not intend to pick up the call. However, she had been thinking about it and took out her phone. She did not expect it to be Zheng ze. In that instant, Jossi was a little suspicious. Why would this person call her out of the blue? ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard joesse¡¯s words and saw how lost she was, he knew that joesse must have forgotten something. Hence, he spoke in a more friendly tone. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve forgotten about me. I¡¯m already downstairs and I was going to pick you up. I didn¡¯t expect you to forget about me because of this jewelry design.¡± When she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s aggrieved tone, Qiao si started to think that he was someone else. She did not expect him to say such a thing. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I was too busy just now, so I forgot about it. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not mind her words as he knew that Qiao sisi was very busy. She had been running around for the sake of this jewelry design. Zheng ze¡¯s heart ached when he saw this. Because Joes had just given birth not long ago, her body was still rather weak. However, she had been busy with this matter recently. ¡°Where are you now? Do you want me toe up to you directly?¡± When joesse heard that he had settled most of his own matters, there was no need for her to continue staying here. Hence, she told Zheng Zeyi directly. ¡°Wait, wait, I¡¯lle down to find you. You don¡¯t have toe up.¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi no longer had the intention to continue walking up. Instead, he nned to wait for Qiao si si downstairs. ¡°Alright!¡± Zheng Zeyi said this obediently and then hung up the phone. Instead, he stood there and leaned against the wall, his eyes narrowed. Qiao si si did not want to let Zheng Zeyi wait for too long, so she left the ce in a hurry. She had been too busy these days, so busy that she sometimes doubted her life. Moreover, he didn¡¯t seem to have a good sleep. No matter what, she had to find time to have a good sleep. Joes had also entered the elevator in a hurry. The moment she entered, she immediately exited the elevator. However, he didn¡¯t expect that he would be so close to colliding with the wall. Suddenly, he was sessfully pulled back. He didn¡¯t know who was pulling him back. ¡°Just what is going on in your little head these days? fortunately, I stopped you. Otherwise, you would have hugged this wall.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this without hesitation. He even flicked joesse¡¯s forehead. Joesse. He nodded to show that he understood. It definitely wouldn¡¯t happen again next time. However, Zheng Zeyi had to be there. Otherwise, he would have hit the wall a long time ago. Chapter 690

Chapter 690: You can rest assured

Trantor: 549690339

When Zheng ze saw how joesse looked at that moment, he would look at her seriously even when he was there. For the past few days, Joes had been busy with these matters and had been feeling uneasy. She had also felt some pain in her heart. It had been many days since he had a good rest. Every time, he would only go to sleep in the middle of the night. ¡°This matter is almost settled. When you go back, you should have a good rest. Just now, you almost hit this wall. Thanks to me, you didn¡¯t hit this wall. Hitting this wall will still hurt, you know?¡± Zheng Zeyi had used this usatory tone to say this to Qiao si. When Qiao si heard this, she already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. ¡°I know I won¡¯t do it again. Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing. Don¡¯t Treat Me Like A Child, how can I not know?¡± Qiao si si knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. She also knew that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart ached for her. However, no matter what, she had already agreed to this matter, so she had to do her best toplete it. She did not want to be a person who went back on her word. Hence, she was in a hurry tofort Zheng Zeyi. When Zheng Zeyi saw that Joes had said that, he could only hold back in the end. ¡°I know what you mean, but no matter what, I¡¯ve already made a promise to someone, so I have to do my best. I know I¡¯ll take good care of my body.¡± Zheng Zeyi knew that he was being stubborn, but Qiao si had no choice but to nod her head when she was tracking him down. Hence, she did not say another word. In the end, she held Qiao SI¡¯s hand directly. Qiao Si was a little stunned. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be so overbearing that he would hold her hand in one go. However, no matter what, she felt that it was very sweet to say more. She did not expect that Zheng Zeyi would actually hold her hand directly at this time and say these words. ¡°You get in the car first, I¡¯ll get inter.¡± Upon hearing this, Qiao Si was very obedient and sat in the car. Zheng Zeyi only returned a few minutester. She did not expect him to have a cup of milk tea in his hand, and it was still warm. ¡°Have some milk tea. After all, I can see that you¡¯ve been traveling for a long time.¡± Joesse¡¯s heart was filled with sweetness, so she happily took the milk tea. After drinking half of the milk tea, she ced the tea on top of the cup and couldn¡¯t help but yawn. I haven¡¯t had a good rest these days. In that case, I might as well stay in this car. I should close my eyes and rest for a while. After all, even if he wanted to go home, there was still a certain distance, so he had already fallen into a deep sleep. When they arrived at the house, Zheng Zeyi stopped the car. However, when he was about to call for Joes, he saw that he had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed. Zheng Zeyi sighed helplessly in his heart. He did not expect the little fellow to fall asleep in his car. She must be very tired. If she was not tired, how could she fall asleep just like that? ¡°Sigh, why do you have to make yourself so tired every day? You don¡¯t even know how to take good care of your own body. ¡± Looking at how Joes had fallen into a deep sleep, he was too embarrassed to disturb her. He had already been so tired over the past few days, should he still disturb her? Wouldn¡¯t that be a little immoral? Therefore, he did not say a single word at this final moment. Instead, he Princess-carried Joes and walked in. When the woman saw the two of them, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn ¡®t. The confinementdy did not even look at him. Instead, she was already standing at the side. Zheng ze immediately carried joesse into the house and covered him with the nket. He then walked out quietly. ¡°Later, when Jossi wakes up, you have to give him some supplements. He has been very busy these few days. When I see him so tired, my heart aches.¡± When the confinementdy heard this, she was a little upset. In the end, Zheng Zeyi left the ce because he had something to do. He could not stay here forever. After Zheng ze had left, Joes woke up immediately and yawned. She did not expect to sleep sofortably and was a little surprised. However, why was she still in this room after she woke up? she looked around and did not see Zheng Zeyi. Therefore, she roughly understood that Zheng Zeyi had probably sent her back directly. At this moment, she was already a little touched. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to not disturb her. Instead, heid her on the bed and covered her with the nket. At this moment, the confinementdy came in with a bowl of soup. She had even specially instructed Zheng Zeyi to make the soup. ¡°No matter what, I still have to thank you very much. I will definitely finish this soup. You can rest assured.¡± He did not expect Zheng Zeyi to arrange for the confinementdy to take care of him, so he was very happy. After he finished the soup, he felt that he still had things to do, so he left the vi at thest moment. At this moment, Joes went to get her car. She did not expect to feel that something was wrong with her dazed state. Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Tell me the result

Joes had parked her car by the side of the road. Therefore, she had been seriously thinking about what she should do next. He shook his head. For some reason, he felt that his mind was in a daze. Therefore, at this time, he decided to drive to meet with a psychiatrist. It was probably because of this psychological problem. ¡°If I continue like this, will I have this problem? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s causing me to be like this. ¡± Joes said helplessly. She did not know how she was going to do these things properly from now on. Therefore, she was in a dilemma. However, no matter how much he struggled, these things kept happening, and he had to go over and think of a way to solve it. If he didn¡¯t think of a way to solve it, the consequences would be unimaginable. Joes had driven here and here like this. After arriving, she could feel that the atmosphere here was a little depressing. He had never thought that he would feel a little depressed in this treatment room. But even if he did, what could he do? The apprentice saw that Joes had been sitting there the whole time. She seemed to be a little uneasy and doubtful, but at the end of the day, she still said as if she was deep in thought. ¡°Are you waiting here for this doctor¡¯s appointment?¡± After the apprentice said that, he did not expect that Joes would still be in a daze. Hence, he was also a little puzzled. ¡®I wonder what he¡¯s thinking about now?¡¯ Why haven¡¯t youe back to your senses? Could it be that something had happened? that was why he had extended his hand and waved it in front of joesse a few times. Joesse had also regained her senses. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I was thinking about something just now, so I didn¡¯t hear you. Did something happen?¡± The apprentices were helpless. They knew that this woman was thinking about something. Otherwise, why would she sit here the whole time? That was why he repeated what he had just said. At this moment, Joes hurriedly regained her senses and nodded her head without hesitation. ¡°Yes, I know what to do. Just take me there and wait. I¡¯m sorry, I was thinking about something just now, so I didn¡¯te back to my senses.¡± When the apprentices heard this, they shook their heads, indicating that it did not matter if they were nobodies. Moreover, they understood Joes, so Joes did not have to worry too much. Joes heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that this apprentice seemed to be able to understand her. There were still apprentices who would get angry, but she did not expect him to not get angry at all. After that, Joes was led directly to the back hall to wait under the guidance of her apprentice. She did not know what had happened to her recently. In any case, she had been in a daze recently. In particr, this spirit was also a little dazed. If this continued, the consequences would be simply unimaginable. Time passed by the seconds and minutes. Very soon, it was time for Joes to meet the psychologist. The moment she arrived, the psychologist sat there with an extremely serious expression. ¡°From now on, you have to follow my footwork. You have to answer all my questions seriously. You can¡¯t talk nonsense, understand?¡± Upon hearing this, joesse immediately nodded her head, indicating that she knew what was going on. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll answer your questions seriously, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much. ¡± At this moment, Joes had also heard the problems he had mentioned. Then, he thought about it seriously in his mind and finally told the doctor everything in detail. When the doctor heard it, he also knew that jorsi had been too tired recently. Because too much pressure would also cause their mental state to be a little Haggard, they were seriously thinking about it now. When Joes saw that the doctor was not saying anything, she started to feel a little anxious. Could it be that her condition was very serious? Was he really going to stay in this crazy hospital? If she were to stay there, what would happen to her child? ¡°Don¡¯t worry. No matter what happens next, we can ept it. Just tell me the results of the investigation.¡± At this moment, Joes was also extremely serious when she said this. She even blinked her eyes as she looked at the doctor, wanting to know how the doctor came to this conclusion. ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem. You should rest well in the next few days and don¡¯t think too much about it. No matter what happens, you just need to rest well and adjust your body.¡± After she said that, Joes heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that something had happened to her, but she did not expect that it was because of this reason. Hence, she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Joesse, Oh joesse, you weren¡¯t like this in the past. That¡¯s why you must persevere. No matter what happens in the future, even if it¡¯s a storm, you must continue for the people you care about.¡± Joes came to a conclusion in her heart. No matter what, she had to continue down this path for the people she cared about. What others did had nothing to do with her. She had to continue down this path. When the doctor saw that joesse was no longer as dazed as before after hearing those words, he heaved a sigh of relief and told joesse that he was going to prescribe some medicine for him. Joesse then waited quietly. Chapter 692

Joes sat elegantly on the sofa and looked at the psychologist in confusion. When the doctor didn¡¯t respond after a long time, she said,¡±¡±Doctor, have you prescribed the medicine?¡± The psychologist lifted his head from his medical report and adjusted his sses. He smiled at Joss, who was still sitting, and said,¡±¡±Of course, you can take these medicines ording to the instructions. You just need to pay more attention to rest. You don¡¯t have any major problems. ¡± Upon hearing this, joesse heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he had been in a daze for the past few days and almost had an ident. He was quite scared. He smiled at the psychologist and said in a rxed manner,¡±¡±Alright then, I¡¯m fine. Thank you for today, doctor. I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. ¡± She stood up and picked up her bag on the sofa with her fair and slender hand. She raised her hand elegantly and waved at the doctor on the office table. She bowed and said,¡±Then, goodbye, doctor.¡± The psychiatrist looked at the elegantdy, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and said with a smile,¡±¡±It¡¯s better if we don¡¯t see each other again. ¡± After saying that, the doctor lowered his head and continued to analyze his case. When Jossi, who had already reached the door, heard this, she raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the doctor behind her in surprise. She thought to herself that this doctor was quite interesting. He shook his head, turned the doorknob, gently pushed the door open, and walked out of the psychiatrist¡¯s office. She turned around politely, gently closed the door for the psychologist who was working hard at the table, and was ready to leave. At this moment, a group of people was gathered at the door of the medical room next to it. They were chattering. ¡°You know what? The psychiatrist inside is super good!¡± ¡°Of course I know. All the patients treated by this psychiatrist are good.¡± ¡°Yup! This psychologist¡¯s medical skills are really great. No matter who it is, they can be cured. ¡± ¡°Is it true? This psychologist was really amazing. I don¡¯t believe it! It can¡¯t be an undeserved reputation, right?¡± ¡°No way. Just you wait. There would be a patienting for treatmentter. You¡¯ll know how good a psychologist¡¯s medical skills are after you take a look. ¡± Joes curiously listened to their conversation and pretended to take out her phone to y. Curious as to whether the psychiatrist they were talking about was so good, she walked to the door of the medical room and looked at the situation up close. The youngdy nurse at the counter saw Joes walking towards the medical room and walked towards her. He bent down and smiled at Joes,¡±¡±Hello! How can I help you?¡± Jossi awkwardly touched her hair and said with a smile,¡±¡±It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just looking around, just looking around. ¡± At this moment, a woman with a worried face came out of the elevator. Her eyes were filled with anxiety, and her footsteps were pausing from time to time. It was obvious that she was a depressed woman with some problems in her heart. Joes looked at the crying woman and wondered if she was a patient who was about to enter the treatment room. He opened his eyes wide and used the corner of his eyes to look at the footsteps of the crying woman. The nurse at the counter, who was asking Jossi, saw the crying woman and quickly turned around to greet her with concern. She then weed her to the medical room. ¡°The patient is here for treatment, right?¡± he asked as he walked. The crying woman didn¡¯t seem to hear him. She opened the door of the medical room, walked in, and closed the door with a ¡°bang¡±. The front desk staff awkwardly nodded her head and chuckled. Then, he turned around and left as if nothing had happened. He did not want to stay in this awkward ce. Joes¡¯s heart bloomed with joy when she saw this scene. He thought of waiting here for a while. He didn¡¯t really want to go back anyway, and he could also see if the crying woman could be cured. With this thought in mind, Jossi went to the chair at the door of the infirmary. He took out his phone and yed with it while waiting. The few people who had been standing at the door of the medical room stopped chatting and left. Jossi was the only one left at the door of the medical room. After waiting for a long time, joesse started to get impatient. He stood up and looked through the ss on the door to see the crying woman inside. She seemed to have stopped crying. Did he get better? Joesse waited for a while more and decided not to wait any longer. She picked up her bag and prepared to leave. At this moment, the door of the medical room opened with a bang. What followed was a burst of cheerfulughter. Jossi raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the woman with a surprised expression. The woman who was crying just now became very happy. She was singing and dancing happily. Looking at this scene, Joes felt that this medical room had cured the patient in an instant, shattering her perception of a psychiatrist. It can¡¯t be, right? How long has it been? This is it? Wasn¡¯t this a little too fast? It couldn¡¯t be fake, right? These words were circting in Joes ¡®mind, and her face was filled with disbelief. In order not to let others see that she had lost herposure, she lowered her head and touched the hair on her forehead. In order to satisfy her curiosity, Joes walked to the door of the medical room and looked inside. All she saw was a psychologist with his head lowered, handling something on his desk. Joesse felt that this psychologist had some medical skills. She walked to the counter, wanting to ask the psychologist how good he was and if he was as good as she had seen. After gently knocking on the counter, the female nurse at the counter turned around and smiled at Joes.¡±¡±Hello! May I ask what¡¯s the matter? Is there anything I can do to help you?¡± Joes looked at the standard eight-tooth smile of the young nurse at the counter and felt that it was too fake. However, out of courtesy, she also smiled and replied. ¡°Hello! It¡¯s like this, I want to ask if the doctor in the medical room is very skilled. Why did the crying girle out so happy after she went in?¡± As she said this, Joes pointed to the location she wanted to know with her fair finger. The young nurse at the counter looked at the direction of his fair and tender finger. She smiled with a look of sudden realization and said,¡±So you¡¯re asking about the doctor in the medical room.¡± ¡°The doctor in the infirmary is very skilled. As long as the patients he treated were all good, they would be fine. He¡¯s our top doctor!¡± ¡°That girl just now, it¡¯s her first time here. I¡¯ve never seen her crying when she was unhappy. This time, she was very happy after entering the infirmary. It made people feel that the patient¡¯s illness was cured. ¡± ¡°Pfft, I¡¯m wrong. It¡¯s not that I feel better. It¡¯s that the patient has been cured. It¡¯s a miracle!¡± The young nurse blinked and said with a smile. Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Chapter 694-obtaining it without any effort

Trantor: 549690339

Joes could not believe that such a miraculous thing could exist in this world. When the young nurse saw Joes¡¯s expression, she smiled as well. At first, she didn¡¯t believe that such a thing would happen, but now that it was in front of her, she had to believe it. It was also the first time Joes had encountered such a thing. In the past, these things would often appear on the news and television. She had never had the chance to encounter it, so she felt that no one would ever have such a miracle happen. That man¡¯s matter made Jossi feel that the heavens still had a conscience in this world. Seeing that joesse was stunned, the nurse acted mysteriously and said to joesse,¡±let me tell you, he¡¯s usually ...¡± I¡¯m a youngdy walked to joesse¡¯s side and whispered to her about this man. Joes immediately understood and nodded, indicating that she already knew about him. Joes also learned about this person¡¯s personality and his attitude towards the things he did from her. Just as Jossi was about to say something, her phone rang. When he heard his phone ring, he picked up the phone and looked at the number with some doubt. When she saw the number, she thought to herself,¡± Is the model show starting today? Joes thought to herself, but her hand did not reach the number that answered the call. After hesitating for a while, he picked up the phone and answered it,¡±Hello, how are you? this is Jossi.¡± The moment Joes picked up the call, she heard a familiar voice ring in her ear. ¡°Hello? Jossi, it¡¯s Kerry. The special touch show is about to start. ¡± On the other end of the line, Kerry quickly exined the situation to Jossi after she picked up the call. When she heard Kerry¡¯s reminder, she suddenly remembered that she had a very important thing to do today. She pped her head in frustration and said to him in embarrassment,¡±sorry, Kerry. Look at me. Yesterday, I was still saying that I wouldn¡¯t forget about this matter today. I didn¡¯t expect that I would forget to return it today. But fortunately, you reminded me.¡± Then, she continued,¡±you hold the fort over there. I¡¯ll rush over immediately.¡± On the other end of the phone, after hearing her exnation, Kerry agreed without a second thought. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll deal with this first. Come over quickly when the timees.¡± On the other end of the phone, Kerry looked at the schedule and said worriedly,¡±your ranking might be higher, so you have to hurry and get here before that happens.¡± There wasn¡¯t much time left today, and Joes didn¡¯t want to talk to him so much. After hearing his reminder, Joes thanked him. She then greeted the nurse. Then, he left. She was surprised that such a magical thing happened in the hospital, but it might have something to do with the girl. After understanding how magical the hospital was, joesse rushed to the scene of the modeling show. Half an hourter. A colorful Ferrari appeared on the main ring road. The person sitting in the car was naturally joesse, who had just answered the call. After receiving the call, joesse rushed over. ¨C In the hospital- Not long after joesse left the hospital, in a chemical treatment room not far behind the nurse. Suddenly, a man walked out. He was very good-looking. His slender eyebrows and exquisite face showed that he had a very noble temperament. The nurse blushed when she saw the man. She looked at the man helplessly. The patient hade to the hospital a few days ago. She didn¡¯t know who he was, but from his temperament, she knew that he muste from an extraordinary family. When he saw the nurse¡¯s expression, he didn¡¯t have much of an expression. He was used to it. He walked up to the nurse and asked indifferently,¡±where¡¯s the girl who was standing here just now?¡± This person¡¯s slightly immature tone and indifferent expression were very out of line with his image. This time, it was the nurse¡¯s turn to be stunned. She thought that this man was so good-looking and had a noble temperament. She had thought that it would be a more mature man, but she did not expect it to be a child. The nurse felt that it was a little funny, but she did not dare tough in front of the man. When she heard the man ask about Joes¡¯s condition, the nurse asked,¡±are you talking about thisdy just now? She has already left this ce. ¡± The nurse thought to herself,¡±could this little kid be that sister¡¯s admirer?¡± That¡¯s right, that sister is so pretty and looks very rich. If she was a boy, she would also be moved. After the man opened his mouth, the nurse¡¯s expression had already disappeared. Hearing this, the man was a little unhappy. He didn¡¯t expect that he would not see that woman again after leaving for a while. He felt that this woman was somewhat familiar, but he didn¡¯t know where this sense of familiarity came from. Forget it. Since she had already left this ce, he would never let him see her again. The next time he saw her, he would definitely greet her properly. Very quickly, Jossi arrived at the ce where the modeling practice was held. It was a Sports Hall. There were many famous models here. This year was the annual modelpetition. All the reporters and other famous people were gathered here. Jossi was here to show off her own designs, so that designers of different levels could exchange ideas and gain her own design inspiration. Joes greeted the people around her. She was also a very famous designer. Just as joesse was chatting with another designer, she saw a familiar figure not far away. That person was the model that she had wanted to try on the jewelry not long ago. However, he was surprised to see him in another designer¡¯s body. Joes bit her alluring red lips and narrowed her eyes. He had asked this person to try on the jewelry a few days ago, but he didn¡¯t expect this person to appear here today after saying that he would consider it for a few days. There was actually another person by his side. This really didn¡¯t take any effort at all. Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Don¡¯t waste your breath on this woman

Trantor: 549690339

This person could be said to be very elegant, and all the designers wanted her to try on their designs. I looked at the person and apologetically said to the designer beside me,¡±I have something to deal with today, so I¡¯ll have to excuse myself. You raised your ss and drank a ss of wine as punishment.¡± The designer was not that demanding. In their eyes, Qiao si si was a very famous designer. Hence, they were a little overwhelmed by her apology. ¡°Jossi, if you have something on, you should hurry. It just so happens that I have some matters to discuss with the others.¡± Joes curled her lips and a smile shed across her eyes. Her eyes were fixed on the man, and it was only then that he noticed the female designer next to the model. The designer noticed his change and followed his gaze. Then, he saw a very familiar voice. He actually knew who this female designer was. Not long ago, he had a scandal with another famous person. ¡°Who¡¯s the designer? Howe I¡¯ve never seen him before?¡± Joes asked doubtfully. If she was going to ask for her people, she would definitely have to understand the enemy¡¯s situation first. The designer looked at Joes in surprise when he heard her question. However, he quickly understood. After all, he had only known about this female designer not long ago. The designer told joesse everything he knew. ¡°Her? She¡¯s Lisa, a very famous designer abroad, but she¡¯s indeed from our country because she went to study abroad a few years ago. I don¡¯t know why she suddenly came back here these few days. ¡± After learning about the female designer, he and the designer had been working together. After saying his goodbyes, he walked around a table and stopped in front of them. Scene change When Joes arrived at their ce, that person was already gone. Only you, the designer, was here. From the person he was talking to, he learned the name of the female designer. Her name was Lisa. Lisa was drinking alone at the table. When she noticed the burning gaze of the person who had arrived, she looked around suspiciously. Finally, Lisa¡¯s gazended on Joes, and her expression changed when she saw Joes working. Why was this woman here? wasn¡¯t she the woman that Kerry always mentioned? Lisa looked at Joes with disdain. Not long ago, she had been on the phone with Kerry, but she had identally seen a photo of Joes in his photo album. Hence, he was not surprised to see Joes. Upon seeing Lisa, Joes walked up and greeted her in a friendly manner. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Jossi. I heard that you¡¯re also very good at jewelry design. I would like to have a chat with you.¡± As she spoke, Joes extended her right hand. Seeing that Joes had extended her hand, she had no choice but to respond out of courtesy. She opened her mouth indifferently.¡±Hello, I¡¯m Lisa.¡± Joes¡¯s expression made her extremely unhappy.¡±So you¡¯re Joes. I¡¯ve heard Kerry mention you before.¡± Lisa also extended her hand to return the gesture. Jossi was a little surprised to hear her mention Kerry¡¯s name. ¡°So you¡¯re a friend of Kerry. Nice to meet you.¡± He hated all these fake and polite words, but he went straight to the point. ¡°You said that you borrowed my model a few days ago?¡± After Jossi finished speaking, she looked straight into her eyes, hoping to find something he wanted from her gaze. Lisa¡¯s heart sank when she heard joesse¡¯s question. So it was because of this matter? She was wondering why joesse would suddenlye looking for her. Just as Lisa was about to exin to joesse, she saw the model that Lisa had called out return with something. He was at a loss when he saw Joes. He did not expect that Joes woulde to this gathering. When he saw Joes, he avoided her gaze. Naturally, she could sense that something was wrong with him. She looked at Joes, then at the model. She felt that there was some unspeakable secret between them. When she saw the model appear, Jossi asked him,¡±what¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re not going to say hi to me when you see me?¡± Facing Joes¡¯s question, he was in a dilemma. He used to be Joes¡¯s man, but a few days ago, Lisa had invited him to her ce. He was hesitant at first, but when he saw that Lisa was offering ten times the price, he felt very tempted. He had no choice but to go to Lisa¡¯s side and reject joesse¡¯s request. Lisa was instantly unhappy when she heard Joes yelling at the people around her. She pointed at Joes¡¯s nose and scolded. ¡°Why should he greet you? He¡¯s my man, so he needs my permission to greet you. ¡± She did not like Jossi to begin with, and with her rtionship with Kerry, she hated her even more. Now that Jossi was scolding her own people in front of her, she was definitely not happy. His own people? When did he be Lisa¡¯s man? Jossi wanted to argue with Lisa, but unfortunately, Kerry appeared. Kerry knew that joesse would be there, but he was very surprised to see Lisa. He didn¡¯t think Lisa woulde to such a ce. ¡°Why are you here? don¡¯t you have something to do today?¡± Kerry looked at Lisa in confusion. Lisa snorted and didn¡¯t look at him again. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your breath on this woman. Let¡¯s go. ¡± Lisa nced at the model behind her, said something to him, and turned to leave. Kerry¡¯s appearance immediately broke the stalemate. However, before Joes could rify the question, she still felt a little ufortable. Seeing that she looked upset, Kerryforted her,¡±well, don¡¯t take it to heart. She¡¯s just like that.¡± Of course, Jossi knew that Kerry was protecting that woman. In fact, things weren¡¯t that big or small, but it was just that he didn¡¯t say it in his heart. He wasn¡¯t the only model in the world who could help her try on jewelry. Chapter 695

Chapter 695: The arrival of a new model

Trantor: 549690339

In therge exhibition hall, everyone was busy preparing the lighting, audio, and other equipment at the scene, just to disy the jewelry in the most perfect way. ¡°Miss Qiao, the lighting and audio setup are ready. It¡¯s the effect you requested.¡± The lighting engineer reported to joesse. They had been busy the entire morning and could not even remember how many adjustments they had made. They only hoped that this time, joesse would be satisfied. ¡°Alright, all staff members are ready. The test will begin for the nth time.¡± Joes gave the order. Then, with the colorful lighting effects, the shocking background music, and the models wearing their own jewelry, they walked onto the stage one by one. All of the staff members had their eyes on Joes, afraid that she would not be satisfied this time. Just when everyone thought that they would be able to pass the test without a scratch, Joes ¡®¡±stop¡± made everyone¡¯s heart race again. The person-in-charge walked over to Joes ¡®side in a daze, his forehead already covered in sweat.¡±Miss ... Miss Qiao, is there anything else you¡¯re not satisfied with?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you see the jewelry disy I designed?¡± Jossi questioned. All the other designers ¡®jewelry had been disyed except for hers, which made her very confused. ¡°This ... I¡¯m not too sure either. Miss Kerry is in charge of the jewelry management ...¡± Jossi¡¯s eyes were in a daze.¡±Where is miss Kerry now?¡± ¡°In the office ...¡± The person in charge of the site replied. He only wanted to know if Jossi was satisfied with theyout of the site. If she was not, they would have to work overtime to make changes. Joes nodded and could see the panic in the person-in-charge¡¯s expression.¡±The overall effect is not bad, I¡¯m very satisfied. Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your hard work, I¡¯ll reimburse the food you eatter!¡± When the staff heard this, they cheered,¡±thank you, miss Qiao!¡± After that, Joes left the performance hall and headed to Kerry¡¯s office. ¡°Sisi, why are you here? is everything going well at the performance hall?¡± Kerry heard the door open and looked up. It was Jossi. ¡°It¡¯s going quite well, but there¡¯s a problem with the jewelry ...¡± Joesse deliberately said that there was a problem with the jewelry to see Kerry¡¯s reaction. As expected, Kerry was a little too calm.¡±Ah ... What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°The jewelry I designed wasn¡¯t shown ...¡± Kerry started to panic. ¡°Oh ... I put away your jewelry and forgot to take them out. Look at my brain ...¡± Kerry smiled awkwardly. ¡°I see. Have you chosen a new model to show off my jewelry?¡± Joes asked with a fake smile. ¡°I¡¯ve already chosen her. I¡¯ll bring her over in a while. ¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll head back to the design studio first.¡± After that, Joes left the office. When Kerry saw that, he immediately called to make arrangements. ¡­¡­ ¡°Shua shua!¡± There was a knock on the door.¡±Come in!¡± Jossi looked up at the door and saw Kerry enter with a model. Behind them was the jewelry that she had designed. Sisi, I¡¯ve brought the person and jewelry you wanted.¡± Kerry beckoned to the people behind him, and the model walked forward. Joes carefully sized her up. ¡°Hello, designer Qiao. I¡¯m your jewelry model, Zhuo.¡± Zhuo fidgeted and looked a little unnatural. A normal experienced model wouldn¡¯t look so unnatural. After being in this industry for so many years, she could still tell that it was just a temporary model from Kerry to brush her off. She was already feeling indignant after Lisa had stolen her model, Mary, from her. Now, Kerry had just casually found a new model to brush her off, not respecting her design at all. ¡°Zhuo, you guys can leave first. I have something to discuss with Kerry.¡± Zhuo was in a daze. After exchanging nces with Kerry, she left the office. ¡°Sisi, is there anything else you want to discuss? why don¡¯t I have any impression of it?¡± Kerry was confused. Didn¡¯t he already arrange for her to be the model? why was there a problem? Joes hesitated and looked at Kerry.¡±Kerry, you also know that we are in a cooperative rtionship now. It is a win-win situation. By doing this, are you not letting down the friendship between us?¡± ¡°Sisi, what are you talking about? how am I letting down our friendship?¡± Kerry pretended not to know anything. ¡°Since you¡¯re like this, I¡¯ll be Frank. That Zhuo was arranged by you at thest minute, right?¡± Kerry panicked.¡±Sisi, how did you know?¡± Jossi sneered,¡±how would I know? I¡¯ve been in the jewelry design industry for so many years and I¡¯ve seen so many models and professional models. One look at Zhuo¡¯s demeanor and I can tell that she¡¯s a newbie.¡± ¡°Sisi, listen to me. Time is of the essence, and I can¡¯t find anyone, so I asked Zhuo for help. Don¡¯t look down on Zhuo just because she¡¯s new, she¡¯s a fast learner and a sensible one.¡± Kerry exined. On the one hand, she couldn¡¯t find a suitable candidate because of time constraints. On the other hand, thepany didn¡¯t have enough funds to hire professional models, so Lisa had used all the remaining funds. ¡°I know you have your own way of doing things, but you¡¯re disrespecting my work by doing this. So, you should let Zhuo leave. I¡¯ll think of a way myself.¡± Joes no longer made things difficult for Kerry. Since she could not respect her own work, she would find her own. As soon as he said that, Zhuo, who had been eavesdropping by the door, barged in and knelt in front of Qiao si without caring about her image. Qiao Si was terrified. ¡°Designer Qiao, please don¡¯t chase me away. I¡¯ll study hard. I¡¯ll kowtow to you!¡± Joes quickly got up to help Zhuo up. ¡°Little Zhuo, why do you have to do this!¡± Joes did not understand. He just did not want her anymore, why did he have to kneel down and throw away his dignity? When Zhuo heard that, she cried even more heartlessly, her sobs reverberating through the entire office.¡±Miss Qiao, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to be chosen by a designer from Kerry. I can get a job. My brother is still waiting for me in the hospital to pay for his treatment. I can¡¯t lose this job!¡± After listening to Zhuo¡¯s words, Joes was shocked. She did not expect Zhuo to be such a poor child. It was not easy, but his jewelry also needed to be respected, so Joes was hesitant. ¡°Alright, alright, you can get up. You stay and train overtime. If you still don¡¯t improve after a few days, you can leave.¡± Joes instructed. Joes had already given her this opportunity, and it was up to her whether she could grasp it or not. ¡°O-okay. Thank you, designer Qiao.¡± Zhuo wiped away the tears on her face and kept bowing to Joes and Kerry. ¡°Since you¡¯ve gained sisi¡¯s recognition, you should learn from sisi. I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Seeing the situation, Kerry quickly left, afraid that Joes would go back on her words. Chapter 696

Chapter 696: The child asking for a reward

¡°Do you understand?¡± After Joes rambled on and on, she looked at Zhuo with a burning gaze. Now that all hope was on her, she could not afford to have any more tricks up her sleeve. ¡°I understand.¡± Although Xiao Zhuo was a new model, she was still a smart one. She remembered all the skills that Joes had taught her. At this moment, the worker came to urge her again,¡±miss Qiao, are you done?¡± If you¡¯re done, quickly get your model to follow me to get her makeup done. If you dy any longer, she won¡¯t be able to make it on stage. ¡± No matter how anxious joesse was, she could only let Zhuo go with the staff to prepare. After Zhuo left, joesse still felt uneasy, but there was nothing she could do. Now, all hope was ced on Zhuo, hoping that she could show the kind of beauty she wanted everyone to realize. With a nervous heart, the wait had finally begun. The group of designers squeezed into a small corner at the side of the stage, watching the runway walk on stage. Joes was staring at the stage, and finally, Zhuo walked out. However, her hanging heart did not calm down. She stared at Zhuo¡¯s every move and silently prayed that there would be no problems. Joes was too focused on her task and did not hear Lisa¡¯s taunting at all. This infuriated Lisa, and her words became even more unpleasant, her tone rising by a few degrees. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? If the things are ugly, will people also be rude?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Zhuo had alreadypleted her demonstration perfectly, and Joes¡¯s concentration finally rxed. Lisa¡¯s loud voice also caught Joes ¡®attention. Seeing that she had been ignored, Lisa could not suppress the fire in her heart. ¡°What¡¯s with the ¡°ah¡±? I said that the jewelry you designed was just so-so. It¡¯s true that the kind of person designs the kind of thing. ¡± ¡°Lisa, you can dislike me, but please don¡¯t talk about the jewelry I designed.¡± Joesse could not bear to hear others criticize the jewelry that she had worked so hard to design. However, her words didn¡¯t have much effect. Instead, Lisa pushed her nose even further.¡±What about you? It¡¯s obviously ugly, but you won¡¯t let people say anything? And that model of yours, what kind of T-Step is that? it¡¯s not professional at all, and it¡¯s simply dragging down the level of our entire exhibition. ¡± Joesse did not like to hear that. Although Zhuo was a new model, her performance today was perfect and had achieved her expectations. If Lisa had not snatched away her original model, she would not have been in such a sorry state today. Since Lisa wanted to go against her, joesse was no pushover either. Just as she was about to tear Lisa to the end, the other designers who had been watching from the side suddenly held her hand. ¡°Qiao Qiao, there are still a lot of good works of art behind. Let¡¯s go there and take a closer look.¡± As he said that, he pulled Joes away from this battlefield that would erupt at any moment. After the two of them walked to another corner, the designer said in a low voice,¡±¡±Jojo, don¡¯t be angry. Lisa is just like that. Why bother with her? you¡¯re just lowering yourself.¡± Jossi knew that she was being kind. If she were to really pick a fight with Lisa and it got out in the open, the exhibition would really be embarrassed. ¡°I know, thank you.¡± Joes smiled and thanked her. Then, she adjusted her mood and continued to appreciate the next work. Today¡¯s exhibition was indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Everyone¡¯s design was very unique, and each had their own merits. Apart from a few amazing designs, the most eye-catching one was Lisa ¡®s. Although her designs were not unique, they were expensive. The jewelry she used was very precious blue diamonds, and even the small diamonds on the side were expensive pink diamonds. However, although it was expensive, the way it was arranged without any order and the way all the valuable things were piled up together made this piece of jewelryck spirit. The exhibition ended in a short while. After saying goodbye to the designer, Joes went backstage to look for Zhuo. The people in the exhibition also walked out of the door one after another. But suddenly, an urgent shout spread throughout the exhibition. ¡°Not good, not good. All the valuables backstage have been stolen. ¡± One of the workers from backstage ran out in a hurry, shouting. For a moment, the entire exhibition was filled with noise, mixed with shock, regret, and gloating. Joes quickly walked to the worker¡¯s side and asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± The worker said he wasn¡¯t sure either.¡±After the exhibition, when we counted the things, we suddenly found that a lot of valuables were gone. Even many designer jewelry disappeared into thin air.¡± ¡°Why would I?¡± Joes muttered to herself. The worker¡¯s job was to stop everyone in the exhibition, as everyone present could be suspects. She did not bother to talk to Jossi anymore and climbed onto the T-stage. She picked up the microphone and said to the crowd,¡±¡±This happened too suddenly. To prevent thieves from sneaking out of the club, I¡¯d like to trouble everyone to cooperate and return to your seats. We¡¯ve already called the police and they¡¯ll be here soon.¡± ¡°What? We didn¡¯t steal anything, so why are we being detained here?¡± ¡°Yeah! I still have an important contract to discuss, open the exhibition door quickly ...¡± ¡°It¡¯s clearly your responsibility ...¡± All of a sudden, the entire exhibition was filled with all kinds of sounds, like a pot had exploded. There was no point in standing there like a fool now. Joes quickly headed backstage. The moment she entered, she realized that everyone was rummaging through the boxes and cabs. It was aplete mess. When Zhuo saw Joes, she ran straight towards her, holding a box tightly in her hands. ¡°Miss Qiao, here you go.¡± She handed over the box in her hand. After receiving the box from her, Jossi opened it and saw that her jewelry was safely lying in the box. It seemed like her jewelry had ¡®escaped¡¯. Her piece of jewelry was considered to be quite valuable, but how could it still be intact? Zhuo¡¯s next words revealed the truth. ¡°I¡¯ve never worn such expensive jewelry before, so I held it tightly in my arms the moment I went backstage. ¡± Zhuo was like a little child asking for a reward. Joes returned the box to her,¡±¡±Thank you, Zhuo. Please keep the box for me. I¡¯ll go and see what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°Okay, but miss Qiao, you¡¯d better not go to Lisa¡¯s ce. She lost her jewelry and is now in a rage.¡± Zhuo said quietly. Joes patrolled the back hall but did not find anything out of the ordinary. Chapter 697

Joes did not find anything out of the ordinary after inspecting the back hall, so she had no choice but to look for the staff to check the surveince footage. ¡°Hello, could you please help me check the surveince camera in the back hall? I want to take a look.¡± Joes said after finding the staff. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, miss. There are no cameras in the back hall. There are only cameras around the exhibition stage.¡± Upon hearing the staff member¡¯s words, joesse felt helpless. ¡°Ah? Was it like this? Then what if something happened in the back hall? So many important things are in the back hall. ¡± ¡°Miss, we¡¯re also very helpless. If we lose our things, we might lose our jobs, but what can we do? We can¡¯t do anything if the higher-ups don¡¯t install a camera. ¡± The staff member also sighed. ¡°I know it¡¯s not easy for you guys, so I can¡¯t me you.¡± ¡°Thank you for your understanding, miss. Is there anything else?¡± Jossi thought to herself,¡¯maybe I can find some clues by looking at the surveince cameras around the exhibition stage.¡¯ ¡°Then can I trouble you to check the surveince cameras around the booth? I want to take a look.¡± ¡°This is good. I¡¯ll help you adjust it.¡± After the staff member finished speaking, he turned around and pulled up the surveince footage on theputer. ¡°Miss, when do you want to see the surveince footage?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take the surveince footage from before the show. ¡± Jossi recalled that she had seen the jewelry before the show, and Lisa hadughed at her, so it should have happened after that. The staff quickly pulled up the surveince footage of the time period that Joes wanted, and Joes sat down to watch. She looked at the cameras one by one, over and over again, but other than some blind spots, she didn¡¯t find anything unusual. After watching the surveince footage, joesse sat on the chair and stared at theputer screen in a daze. However, her mind was upied with thoughts. Not only did this person know that there were no cameras in the back hall, but he was also able to perfectly avoid all the cameras around the booth. This meant that he was extremely familiar with the environment here. Or perhaps, it was one of the people present today. Joes ran through the people who were present today in her mind, but she did not find anything out of the ordinary. Everyone was acting normal, and she did not find anyone suspicious. Seeing that joesse was deep in thought for a long time, the staff member did not want to disturb her. However, work still had to be done, so he patted joesse¡¯s shoulder. Joes turned to look at the staff member, a little confused. ¡°Miss, why don¡¯t you sit in the lounge in the back hall for a while? I still have work to do. Thank you for your understanding.¡± The staff member gave Joes a smile. It was only then that joesse realized that she had interrupted the staff¡¯s work by sitting on their chair. She immediately stood up and apologized, then prepared to head to the back hall. On the way to the back hall, she heard the discussions of many other models. ¡°How did it get stolen? Aren¡¯t they all ced together?¡± ¡°These people are really bold.¡± ¡°But I have to say that these jewels are really valuable.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. You can buy one and stop working for ten years.¡± ¡°You¡¯re making me want to steal a piece and sell it. Hahaha. ¡± ¡°Not all of them were stolen. I heard that the one that joesse designed and the one that Zhuo was wearing was still there.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very likely that they think that Xiao Zhuo is a neer and not famous enough, so she definitely doesn¡¯t wear it very well. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s one more. ¡± ¡°I heard that at the start, Jossi¡¯s jewelry was put on disy by Mary, but Lisa took her away without even saying a word.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Then, we sent a neer, Zhuo, to Jessi. Not only is she not famous, but her temperament is also not stable.¡± ¡°But I think Jossi should be grateful to Lisa for taking Mary away. Otherwise, the jewelry she designed might have been stolen by Mary.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯m grateful, but I should be d.¡± ¡°Actually, it might not be what we think. Maybe someone was jealous of Lisa and thought of this.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. First of all, I don¡¯t think Jossi is that kind of person. I can¡¯t be sure about others.¡± ¡°Why do you think that Jossi isn¡¯t that kind of person? Some people are really good at pretending. They look like they¡¯re aloof from the world, but they¡¯re actually very ambitious. They look gentle and kind, but they¡¯re actually green tea Holy Mother and white Lotus. ¡± As the center of the discussion, joesse felt helpless as she listened to all the models discussing her. She thought to herself, I¡¯m not some Saint or white Lotus. ¡°Who¡¯s the Virgin Mary? Who¡¯s pretending?¡± Joes was not someone who liked to hold back her anger, so she retorted on the spot. The model who had been badmouthing Joes also retorted,¡±¡±I said there were some people, not you, so why are you so excited? I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s guilty. ¡± ¡°Just now, she said that she didn¡¯t think I was that kind of person, so you directly said that some people might not be pretending. Who can¡¯t tell that you¡¯re talking about?¡± Jossi pointed at the model who said that she believed her. ¡°I¡¯ll say whatever I want to say, why do you care?¡± The female model was flustered. Joes was also panicking. At this moment, the model who had spoken up for her pulled her and said,¡±¡±Forget it, designer Qiao. There¡¯s no need to get angry over someone else¡¯s mistake. It¡¯s not good for your health.¡± Joesse could not be bothered to argue with such a person. After thanking the model who had helped her, she went to the back hall. ¡°Why are you pretending to be a good person? we¡¯re the same kind of people!¡± As soon as Joes left, the model who had criticized Joes started to me the other model. The female model who was helping Qiao si si was also speechless and decided not to say anything. The other model was asking for a snub, so she did not say anything either. Joesse had just walked into the back hall when she heard two models talking about what had just happened. ¡°All of Lisa¡¯s jewelry designs are lost,¡± a model said.¡±It¡¯s a huge loss.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the other added.¡±And Lisa has such a bad temper. She must be furious this time.¡± ¡°Of course, the makeup artist, the hairstylist, and so on. No one around Lisa was spared from her curses.¡± The model pouted and continued,¡±¡±And she even threw all kinds of things and asked everyone to help her find them.¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey, I heard that Mary was scolded the most. They said that she stole the jewelry, hid it after the show, and didn¡¯t protect it well. Anyway, there were all kinds of unpleasant words, all kinds of doubts, and all kinds of me.¡± ¡°Poor Mary. She was asked to leave without saying a word, and now she has to bear her abuse.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. That Joes is such a nice person. She¡¯s gentle and responsible. If Mary were to be Joes ¡®model, she wouldn¡¯t have been scolded so badly.¡± Joesse felt a little frustrated when she heard their discussion. She shuddered at the thought of Lisa scolding Mary.

With an emergency brake, a high-speed luxury car stopped at the entrance of the exhibition hall. As soon as the car stopped, Kerry hurriedly got out of the car and strode to the exhibition hall. Kerry was dealing with other things when he heard his assistant report that something had happened in the exhibition hall. He immediately put down his work and rushed over. They had finally arrived at the scene. When they entered the exhibition hall, they saw that there was not a single person on the disy stand. It looked extremely deste. Kerry did not dare to dy and immediately went to the back hall. As soon as he entered the back hall, Kerry heard everyone talking about this matter, and his head suddenly buzzed. As they walked in, Kerry saw Joes and Zhuo, as well as Lisa and Mary, and some other unimportant people. ¡°Miss Qiao, do you still have the jewelry you designed?¡± Kerry was the first to ask Joes. After all, he had invited Joes several times. Her design was unique and could not be lost. ¡°Yes, he is.¡± Joes pointed at the jewelry box on the table. Kerry quickly stepped forward and opened the jewelry box. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the jewelry designed by Jossi lying inside. Slowly closing the jewelry box, Kerry turned to Lisa and asked,¡±¡±Miss Lisa, you lost one?¡± Kerry didn¡¯t know the exact situation. His assistant didn¡¯t exin it clearly over the phone. He only said that it had been stolen and something had happened. He didn¡¯t ask and rushed over. Therefore, Kerry had to first understand the current situation before taking any countermeasures. ¡°Not a single one,¡± Lisa said, her eyes wavering.¡±All of them were stolen.¡± When Kerry heard that there was not a single item left, his face darkened. He could not believe it. ¡°Not a single one left? What the hell? If Jessi¡¯s is still there, why isn¡¯t yours?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. You can¡¯t me me for this. Besides, everyone¡¯s mine was lost, so I¡¯m not the only one.¡± Lisa said, feeling wronged. Kerry was too impatient, but he couldn¡¯t apologize to her, so he changed the subject. ¡°Miss Qiao, you¡¯ve worked hard. There¡¯s nothing else, you can go back and rest.¡± ¡°Okay, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first. I¡¯m a little tired.¡± Joes nodded at everyone and packed her things, preparing to go home. After all, Joes was pregnant, and her body was prone to fatigue. Moreover, her month was getting older, so it was a little inconvenient for her to move around. Joes packed her things and walked out of the exhibition hall. At the thought of the doctor saying that walking more was beneficial for the baby¡¯s birth and that the weather was pretty good, joesse wanted to take a walk home. Walking slowly on the road, looking at the green nts by the side of the road and the cars that were moving backwards, joesse was in a very good mood. If she was not pregnant, she might have jumped up in joy. Just as joesse turned a corner, she saw a little boy holding a rose in his hand. Joes was still thinking that this little boy looked quite delicate. She did not know which family¡¯s child he was from, but the baby in her stomach must be very cute and lovely. As she thought about it, she evenughed out loud. She touched her stomach, and her eyes were full of motherly gentleness. At this moment, to joesse¡¯s surprise, the little boy with the Rose in his hand was standing in front of her. Joesse was a little surprised. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, little friend? He¡¯s so cute. ¡± ¡°Pretty sister, these roses are for you.¡± The little boy¡¯s innocent voice made Joes¡¯s heart soften. ¡°Why do you want to give big sister flowers?¡± Joes¡¯s voice had also subconsciously be gentler. ¡°Because you¡¯re so pretty, big sister. I like you so much, so I¡¯m giving you flowers.¡± The little boy blinked his eyes and acted cute to Jossi. Joesse¡¯s heart softened at the cuteness of this little boy who had suddenly appeared. She reached out and touched the little boy¡¯s head.¡±¡±Then where did the little kid get the roses from? Roses can¡¯t be given to others easily. They have a meaning, you know?¡± ¡°Really? I don¡¯t know, pretty sister, what¡¯s the meaning behind it?¡± Looking at the child¡¯s innocent face, Jossi was thinking of how to exin it in anguage that the child could understand. After thinking for a while, joesse said,¡±roses symbolize the most passionate and passionate feelings. Hmm ... How should I put it? it¡¯s just like the feelings between your Daddy and Mommy. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Like Daddy and Mommy? Is it to be husband and wife?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If you give her roses, it means that you want to build a good rtionship with her and develop further with her. But you don¡¯t know what she¡¯s thinking.¡± ¡®I don¡¯t know if the children will understand me when I tell them this.¡¯ Jossi thought about it and chuckled. ¡°Pretty sister, what are youughing at?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You should go home. Your family is worried about you.¡± Jossi thought about how such a young child would go out alone without anyone following him. ¡°Pretty sister, are you willing to send me home? I¡¯m afraid of being alone. ¡± The child suddenly made an aggrieved expression. Looking at the child¡¯s sudden act, Jossi was stunned. He was not afraid when he came here alone, but he was afraid when he returned home. It was obviously impossible. Joes looked at the little boy in front of her. She was acting weird and pretended to wipe her tears with her hands. At the same time, her eyes were darting around and she was observing Joes ¡®expression through the gaps between her fingers. ¡°Little friend, do you know the home phone number? I¡¯ll call my family to pick you up, okay?¡± Joesse thought that the child in her stomach could not be tossed around, but she could not ignore it either, so she could onlypromise. ¡°I don¡¯t know my home number. Pretty sister, you¡¯re the best. Please send me home. My house isn¡¯t far from here. I beg you.¡± The child started to act coquettishly with Joes. Joes could feel that the child had a purpose in wanting her to follow him, but she did not know why. However, Joes could feel that the child was not disgusted. She couldn¡¯t stand such a cute child acting coquettishly, so she had no choice but topromise.¡±Alright, alright, alright. Can you stop crying? Little kid, big sister will send you home, okay?¡± ¡°Yay, yay! Pretty sister finally agreed toe with me!¡± The child¡¯s sorrow immediately turned into joy, and Joes¡¯s words confirmed her guess. The child pulled Joes up and led her away. Joes also wanted to know why the child had to call her, so she followed him. On the way, the child mumbled,¡±¡±No matter what, you have to make pretty sistere with me. Yay, pretty sister ising with me. My mission isplete.¡± Joes could only hear the little boy toot to himself. It was unclear, so she naturally did not know what the little boy was saying. Joes did not think too much about it and followed behind the little boy. Chapter 699

¡°Aiya.¡± Joes¡¯s mind was all on the little boy and she did not have the energy to care about anything else. The small child was very interesting. He was not tall enough, but he ran very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. This made Joes simply lower her head and give chase. However, he did not expect that when he turned the corner, he would bump into someone. The other party obviously did not expect that there would be someone around as he took a step back. Joes covered her forehead in embarrassment. She did not even take a closer look at who the other party was before she quickly apologized,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t pay attention to where I was going. ¡± ¡°Ah, I¡¯m fine.¡± Han luo just smiled, as if he didn¡¯t mind at all. The clear and gentle voice surprised Jossi. She raised her head subconsciously and realized that the person in front of her was a very tall man. The first thing she saw was the man¡¯s beige sweater and xen windbreaker. The turtleneck sweater hadplicated patterns, and the man¡¯s face was against the light, so she couldn¡¯t see clearly. However, what made joesse even more flustered was therge stain on the beige sweater. The dark brown stain had the smell of coffee, and joesse immediately understood. I¡¯m done for, I¡¯m done for. I¡¯ve spilled her coffee, and I¡¯ve spilled it on her light-colored clothes! Joes could not help but wail in her heart. But at this moment, the man said,¡±I wonder if you¡¯re scalded?¡± I¡¯m sorry, I was distracted just now. ¡± As he said that, he innocently showed the half-empty coffee cup in his hand. The man¡¯s appearance was very refined. When he smiled, he gave people a feeling of a spring breeze. This feeling made Jossi feel even more embarrassed.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, I bumped into you. I, I¡¯m fine. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I can rest assured then. ¡± Han luo still looked gentle, as if he didn¡¯t care about this at all. However, the more this was the case, the more guilt Jossi felt. It was a futile effort for her to take out a piece of tissue to help him wipe his face. However, her position was a little awkward. This caused Jossi to be stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this dress ... I¡¯llpensate you, but now you ...¡± In the end, Joes chose to apologize. But very quickly, joesse asked,¡±¡±By the way, did you see a child just now? yes, about this tall.¡± As she said that, Joes started gesturing. However, at that moment, she realized that the child had disappeared. He had already disappeared, not even a shadow was left. Han luo, on the other hand, looked a little confused.¡±¡±What child? I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t get to see him. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it seems like I made a mistake. ¡± This discovery made Jossi¡¯s heart feel empty for a moment, and that feeling of guilt once again filled her heart. The man didn¡¯t seem to care about this. Instead, heforted her gently,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t me you for this, do I? It¡¯s a good thing I¡¯ve already drunk some of this coffee. Otherwise, I would¡¯ve lost more than I gained. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. How about this, this is my business card. Please ept it. I ... I have some things to deal with. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Jossi wanted to say something, but the children at home could not wait. This caused Jossi to be a little anxious. The baby at home was still waiting for her! So she quickly took out her business card from her bag and handed it over. The man took it. His slender fingers were ying with the small card, y then said,¡±¡±Oh, by the way, my name is han luo. We¡¯ll definitely meet again if we have the chance.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Han.¡± Joes heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to han luo again before leaving in a hurry. Looking at Jossi¡¯s back as she left, han luo held the name card in his hand and nced at it indifferently.¡±¡±Jossi, you¡¯re really interesting.¡± He casually threw away the coffee in his hand, but carefully looked at the name card again. Then, he kept it. It was as if this was some kind of treasure. But to han luo, it was still a treasure. Han luo couldn¡¯t help butugh, but the gentleness on his face was still there. He only said coldly after Joes¡¯s back was out of sight,¡±¡±Alright, you cane out now.¡± There was no movement at the side. Han luo wasn¡¯t annoyed, but he added,¡±¡±Alright, it¡¯s fine if youe out.¡± Very quickly, a small head with a strong head appeared from the alley beside them. It first looked left and right, and after confirming that Joes was not around, it scuttled out hurriedly. If Joes were still around, or if she were to make a surprise attack at this time, she would definitely realize that this was the child who had just lured her here. It was a pity that Joes had long gone. The child first looked at han luo carefully, but han luo squatted down and ruffled the child¡¯s hair.¡±¡±You¡¯ve done well,¡± ¡°Really?¡± The child¡¯s eyes lit up at once, with a sparkling look of anticipation, which made people¡¯s hearts soften. Han luo nodded with a smile.¡±That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t expect you to run so fast.¡± He said. ¡°That¡¯s right! Even the boys who are my age, no, two years older than me, can¡¯t outrun me. ¡± When the child heard this, he revealed a triumphant look, as if to him, this was just amonpliment. But han luo seemed to be able to see the little tail wagging behind her, as if saying,¡±praise me, continue to praise me.¡± However, han luo was no longer interested in ying with the child. He stood up straight and took out his wallet from his pocket. Seeing han luo¡¯s actions, the child swallowed his saliva in disappointment. His eyes were glued to han luo¡¯s actions. Very quickly, han luo counted out some change and ced it in the child¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Keep these well and go buy some candy.¡± ¡°Wow, so many!¡± The child¡¯s eyes lit up, and he couldn¡¯t help but ask carefully,¡±¡±Are these really for me?¡± ¡°Yeah, so don¡¯t lose it.¡± Han luo just patted the child¡¯s head again. Only then did the child be happy. He cheered and quickly ran away with the money. Chapter 700

Naturally, Joes did not know what had happened after she left. Her mind had long been upied by her own baby. Fortunately, the baby was still sleeping when joesse returned. He was still spitting bubbles as he slept. Seeing this, joesse could not help but feel a lot more at ease. She squatted beside the bed and poked the child¡¯s tender skin with her fingers.¡±¡±You¡¯re a good little fellow, sleeping so peacefully. ¡± The child was disturbed in his sleep and waved his arms wildly, but he finally calmed down. Joes chuckled when she saw this. However, she was no longer in the mood to continue teasing the child. If she woke the child up, she would be in trouble. After confirming that the baby was fine, Joes changed her clothes and took a shower before lying down on the bed like she had lost all her bones. The moment she touched the soft bed, Joes could not help but let out a satisfied sigh. Too many things had happened today. From the loss of the jewelry to the man behind it, all of these had caused Jossi to be physically and mentally exhausted. It was just that Joes did not show it. At this time, Jossi naturally stopped thinking about those things. After some thought, she picked up her phone and scrolled through thetest Weibo. After all, the information that she didn¡¯t need to think much about made her feel more rxed. However, at this moment, a private message was sent to him on Weibo. ¡°Your designs have been deemed as giarized.¡± ¡°?¡±Joesse had a helpless and confused expression, and could only reply with a question mark. However, the other party¡¯s message came very quickly.¡±You must be joesse, right? I just wanted to remind you that for some reason, someone suddenly exposed that your jewelry design was giarized. ¡± Joes found it even more amusing. giarized her jewelry design? Someone was reminding him? Everything that happened made it seem like it was real. Joes subconsciously wanted to see who the other party was, but she realized that the Weibo ount was just a messy nickname. The Weibo ount was clean and nothing had been posted. This made Jossi even more unconcerned. After all, she had personally designed everything. How could it be considered giarism just because someone said a few words? However, her mood to y with her phone was also disrupted by these two private messages. Joes simply threw her phone to the side. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy. This feeling made joesse extremely frustrated. She rolled left and right, but finally decided to call Kerry and ask what was going on. Was there something that she didn¡¯t know about happening? She rolled around on the bed again and grabbed her phone from the corner of the bed. She then dialed Kerry¡¯s number. However, he still didn¡¯t take the giarism to heart. He just wanted to let Kerry know. But strangely, Kerry did not pick up the phone. ¡°Seriously, why can¡¯t I contact him at this time?¡± Joes looked at the busy tone on her phone and could not help but pout. After some thought, joesse decided to send a message to Kerry. Since someone had told her about this, it would be better to let the other party know. ¡°Kerry, I don¡¯t know why someone said that my jewelry design was giarized. Do you know the specific situation? If there¡¯s anything, call me back. ¡± It was a short message, but there was no response after it was sent. Joes simply threw the matter to the back of her mind. She didn¡¯t want to be involved in these messy things anymore. However, what Joes did not expect was that something would happen the next morning. Joes tidied herself up and went to look at the baby who was obediently drinking milk. She even left a light kiss on that delicate little face, which caused the child tough. After that, joesse prepared to leave. However, the moment she opened the door, Jossi was dazzled by the shing lights. Quite a few microphones, voice recorders, and other things were thrown directly at Joes ¡®face, causing her to subconsciously tilt her head back to avoid being hit by the things in the excited crowd¡¯s hands. ¡°Jossi, do you have anything to say about your jewelry design?¡± ¡°What are you nning to do today? Do you already know about the giarism incident?¡± ¡°The other party has already produced evidence to prove your giarism. What do you think about this?¡± ¡°Did you really design the jewelry yourself this time?¡± Question after question was thrown at her, and even Joes could not help but feel a little dizzy. W-what was going on? Why were there so many reporters at the entrance so early in the morning? Joes felt a little dizzy. She subconsciously looked at the surrounding reporters who were staring at her like tigers, but she did not say a word. Seeing that Jessi did not say anything, the reporters seemed to have found some evidence and became even more excited.¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you answering?¡± ¡°So the jewelry design was giarized?¡± ¡°Do you intend to apologize to the victim of giarism?¡± Alright, joesse was even more confused. She had not even said anything, and the entire process had been filled in by the human brain. How could joesse not be surprised? However, joesse still calmly said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know anything about the giarism.¡± ¡°When you say you don¡¯t know, do you mean that you don¡¯t know that the other party has already exposed your matter, or do you want to deny the giarism?¡± The other party clearly had no intention of letting Joss off just like that. In that short amount of time, the reporters even had the tendency to surround Joss. At this moment, Joes felt as if she had fallen into a Wolf¡¯s Den. Being stared at as if she was food was truly unbearable. ¡°Let¡¯s put this matter aside for now. This matter involves a lot of things. Even if there is any progress, I won¡¯t tell you everything. There is no need to.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi strode over. Someone recognized Zheng Zeyi and shouted,¡±¡±Look, it¡¯s Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi, as Qiao sisi¡¯s husband, do you know that Qiao sisi is suspected of giarism in her jewelry design?¡± When they saw Zheng ze walk over, many people turned their attention to him. In an instant, even the number of people who were interested in joesse was reduced by a few. However, Zheng Zeyi was not flustered at all. Instead, he stood in front of joesse and protected her. At the same time, he didn¡¯t forget to signal with his eyes. Chapter 701

¡°You can go back first.¡± Zheng Zeyi lowered his voice and said to joesse. Joes nodded her head hurriedly, grabbed her little bag, and walked home. Very quickly, Zheng Zeyi managed to temporarily put off the reporters. After entering the house, he immediately closed the door tightly. No matter how many people knocked on the door and shouted, the door would not open. Their actions were directly interpreted by the busybodies as them feeling guilty, and the movement outside couldn¡¯t help but be a little louder. Qiao si si and Zheng Zeyi just stayed in the room. Qiao si started to panic,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Take a look at Weibo.¡± Zheng Zeyi was obviously helpless as well. Even he did not expect things to turn out this way. After all, it was all too sudden. Only then did joesse have the time to turn on her phone, only to discover that Weibo was in a mess. It was the same unknown Weibo ount. The name was even given the very leading name of ¡°Jossi giarized¡±, but there were no clues left behind. Or did the other party im that joesse¡¯s jewelry design had giarized his? furthermore, he hadpared the photos of joesse¡¯s jewelry design with his own in a very serious and detailed manner. At the same time, he had also taken out manyyering as evidence. At a nce, even joesse herself suspected if she had really giarized this person. Unfortunately, that was not the case. With such a detailed piece of news, many people naturally followed suit. In an instant, almost everyone was certain that Joes¡¯s design was giarized. Joes¡¯s expression turned ugly, but she still tried her best to calm herself down. Then, he looked at the chaos outside and hesitated for a moment.¡±This ce is no longer safe.¡± ¡°Yes, there must be someone behind this.¡± Zheng Zeyi frowned as well. It was not a small matter to be found at their door. It could only be said that no matter how one looked at it, it was someone else¡¯s intention to reveal such information at this time. ¡°But I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not good for the baby.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. After all, the child was still young and sensitive to the environment and everything that was happening around him. If it affected the child, then neither Qiao sisi nor Zheng Zeyi would be willing to see it. Joes¡¯s face was also filled with worry,¡±¡±What should I do? Don¡¯t tell me you want me to think of a way to rify?¡± ¡°It seems that¡¯s the only way for now.¡± Zheng Zeyi was also very helpless. This feeling of having to find all kinds of ways to prove that he had not done something that he had clearly not done before was simply too infuriating. However, the reporters outside the door didn¡¯t care about this. They kept knocking on the door. Their crazy appearance made people feel a little scared. ¡°You leave from the back door. Be careful. I¡¯ll take care of this.¡± Zheng Zeyi decided in the end. Then, he called people to chase the reporters away. After all, with so many reporters blocking the entrance of the house, anything could really be exposed. Joes nodded her head in agreement and walked to the back door. First, she carefully opened the door and was surprised to find that there were no reporters at the back door. This made joesse feel slightly relieved. Zheng Zeyi even called for his bodyguards to ask the reporters to leave the scene. It was at the entrance of his house. These reporters were all quick to act. Why would they care about the truth of the matter? It was just a gimmick. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression darkened at the thought of this. However, he still had to deal with this matter. After the call, Zheng Zeyi was still worried. He went to the back door and saw Joes standing there. Joesse waved her hand at Zheng Zeyi forcefully before walking out. Only after they were far away did Joris let out a sigh of relief. It was then that she realized that something was amiss. After finding a dessert shop, joesse sipped on a cold smoothie while scrolling through her phone, carefully looking at the content of the other party¡¯s exposure. Since he wanted to prove himself, he had to find some useful clues from the things that the other party had exposed. Although he didn¡¯t know who the other party was, what he did wasn¡¯t simple at all. Jossi was unable to find any loopholes that she could use. Joes became even more frustrated. She grabbed her hair as she thought hard. The straw in her mouth was already deformed from her biting. However, at this moment, joesse heard a familiar voice again.¡±Jossi?¡± ¡°It¡¯s you. ¡± Joes suddenly raised her head and realized that it was han luo. Seeing Jossi raise her head, han luo¡¯s face could not help but reveal a smile of relief.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t expect it to really be you. I thought I had the wrong person.¡± ¡°Yeah, what a coincidence.¡± ¡°You live nearby too?¡± Joes smiled and nodded. ¡°Yes, I like the coffee here. Don¡¯t tell me you live nearby?¡± Han luo asked with a smile, still looking innocent. Joes had nothing to hide and nodded her head. This kind of thing could be found out with a little investigation, so why did he need to go in circles? ¡°Since you¡¯re living nearby, it¡¯s convenient,¡± Joes said. ¡°What¡¯s convenient?¡± Han luo was a little confused. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Joes exined.¡±I left in a hurry yesterday and didn¡¯t have time to apologize to you properly. It¡¯s convenient, I mean it¡¯s convenient for me toe and apologize to you. ¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re talking about that. It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve sent the clothes for dry cleaning. Besides, it was an ident, so you don¡¯t have to worry. ¡± Han luoughed heartily. He simply sat opposite of joesse,¡±¡±But then again, this world is really small. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you again so coincidentally. I thought I wouldn¡¯t be able to see you for a while.¡± ¡°Oh? You know me?¡± Joes looked at han luo in surprise. Han luo smiled and exined,¡±I¡¯m afraid not many people don¡¯t know that Jossi is a designer. Also, I more or less know a little about thepetition this time. I thought you would be busy with thepetition.¡± I didn¡¯t expect to see you in this ce and environment. Although han luo didn¡¯t say it out loud, that was what he meant with his eyes. This almost made joesseugh out loud. However, how could joesse stillugh at this moment? The matter this time had really left her in a terrible fix. She did not know if Zheng Zeyi had settled the matter with the reporters. She didn¡¯t know how the baby was doing and if he was scared. Chapter 702

Chapter 702: There are reporters outside

Trantor: 549690339

The two of them walked on a hidden but beautiful path near the back door. A faint smile hung on the corner of han luo¡¯s mouth, and his small dimples appeared slightly. He said in a soft voice,¡±¡±Why did youe out from the back door?¡± After exiting from the back door of Joes¡¯s house, it was a quiet and remote ce. Not many people woulde here, so han luo felt a little strange. Perhaps it was because all psychologists had a natural charm, han luo¡¯s gentle voice made Jossi very rxed, and she was not as alert as before. ¡°You should have seen the group of reporters at my front door. If I had met them face to face, based on their troublesome momentum, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t be walking down this road and chatting with you.¡± Joes sighed and said rather helplessly, revealing a tired expression. Han luo raised his eyebrows, thinking that this might be a good opportunity to improve his rtionship with joesse. Hence, he took advantage of the situation and asked,¡±Oh, it¡¯s them.¡± But when I saw it, I was a little confused. Why are there so many reporters at your door? Are you on some social news?¡± After he asked, he felt that his tone was not very gentle, so he thought about it and added a joke. ¡°If you be famous, don¡¯t forget me. Don¡¯t forget each other when you¡¯re rich.¡± As expected, Jossi¡¯s gloomy face was reced with a smile. She was amused by han luo¡¯s words, and her impression of han luo improved. ¡°It¡¯s not that. It¡¯s just that I was ...¡± Halfway through her sentence, joesse suddenly felt that the two of them were not very familiar with each other. She was a little conflicted about whether she should tell han luo about that matter. After all, it was not a small family matter. It still carried some weight to joesse. Han luo noticed Joes ¡®pause. He secretly sized her up and saw the uncertainty and hesitation in her heart. He immediately understood. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t have to say it. If you feel ufortable, then don¡¯t say it. In any case, the purpose of me apanying you here is to let you rx. I can¡¯t possibly have the opposite effect. ¡± Han luo smiled. Joes was a little surprised when she heard that. She did not expect han luo to be able to see through her thoughts. The feeling of having her thoughts exposed made Joes touch the tip of her nose in embarrassment. Since han luo didn¡¯t mind, Jossi stopped being hesitant. ¡°I designed a piece of jewelry that received quite a good response at the beginning. But recently, someone had suddenly released news in the media. It¡¯s probably saying that the jewelry I designed is suspected of giarism. ¡± At this point, Joes furrowed her brows.¡±I¡¯ll first rify that I did not giarize. I hope you can believe me. That¡¯s why those reporters came here for this matter. I¡¯m in a difficult position now, I don¡¯t know what to do. ¡± Han luo¡¯s expression did not look too good after he heard that. After all, no one would feel good about being framed. He patted Jossi¡¯s shoulder and said,¡±¡±Things will get better,¡± Suddenly, he remembered someone he knew. He was a master of jewelry appraisal, but he was more low-key in his work. However, he could guarantee that he was capable. Perhaps he could help joesse? Thinking of this, han luo was a little happy. He quickly said to Jossi,¡±¡±I know a master jewelry appraiser. Maybe he can help you provide evidence to prove your innocence.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes, which had been drooped in depression, lifted when she heard han luo¡¯s words. For a moment, her eyes were shining brightly at han luo, and they were shining with a desire for art. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t say things that I¡¯m not confident in.¡± Han luo smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you. Thank you so much.¡± Although she had yet to meet the master appraiser, Joes was already starting to thank han luo. The two of them immediately set off to the master appraiser with han luo leading the way. Even though the reporters were no longer blocking her front door, there might still be some reporters lurking nearby who were constantly monitoring her movements. Hence, if Jossi drove her own car out, there was a 95% chance that she would be discovered by those cunning reporters. Jossi looked at han luo, a little embarrassed.¡±¡±Um ... It might not be safe to drive my car. Is your car parked nearby? If you don¡¯t mind, can you drive your car?¡± Han luo smiled and agreed.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with that? I should be the one driving anyway. You don¡¯t know the way. ¡± Jossi smiled and looked at han luo gratefully. A ck Mercedes-Benz could be seen everywhere on the city Road. Han luo had picked this one specifically because it was moremon and would not attract any suspicion. Joes sat in the front passenger seat and closed the door with a bang. Coincidentally, han luo¡¯s car was fitted with a ck curtain that could be pulled back. Although Joes did not know why han luo would install a ck curtain in his car, she felt that this seemingly useless thing was very useful now. Pure music started ying in the spacious car. Han luo stepped on the door, and the car started to move. The process was rather boring, and Joes was too embarrassed to chat with han luo, so she could only look at her phone asionally, checking the trend on the inte from time to time. However, since Joes had not published anything yet, most people would definitely be on the side of the media. She took a look at the time and saw that it had been almost ten minutes since she left. Joes estimated that this distance should be rtively safe, so she pulled open the ck curtain and squinted at the scenery that was rapidly passing by outside the window. She felt that it was not very familiar. ¡°Where is this ce?¡± Joes asked doubtfully. ¡°I took a small path, and not many people know about it. No reporters will find out, so don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll be there in a few minutes. Let¡¯s wait a little longer. ¡± Han luo replied. Just as he had said, the car sped off again. After about four to five minutes, the car slowly came to a stop and arrived in front of a vi. Han luo turned his head, and a refined smile appeared on his handsome face. His thin lips parted slightly, and a gentle voice rang out in the car. ¡°¡±We¡¯re here. ¡± Just as Joes was about to open the door and get out of the car, she was suddenly pulled back by han luo. Before Jossi could ask, han luo said,¡±¡±There are reporters outside.¡± Joes¡¯s expression changed immediately. She did not expect to find a reporter in this ce. She did not know if she met him by chance or if she was being followed. If she was being followed, that reporter was indeed powerful. Chapter 703

¡°I¡¯ll get out of the car first. I¡¯ll send you a WeChat message when I see the reporters leave. Remember to pay attention to your phone at all times. ¡± Han luo opened the car door as he spoke. Joes nodded. She sat in the car and waited anxiously. After all, she was only one step away from meeting the master appraiser. She did not want to give up just like that. Joes waited until her palms were slightly sweating before she finally received a message: ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± The moment she saw the message, Joes had already opened the car door impatiently and jogged over. After all, she still had lingering fears. At the same time, a strong desire rose in her heart. She must prove her innocence and catch the person who framed her! ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±he said. Han luo looked at Qiao SI¡¯s series of actions, and the smile in his eyes grew even wider.¡±As for whether you can convince the master appraiser to appraise you, that will depend on your own ability.¡± Joes nodded, her eyes filled with determination. She unbuckled her seat belt and was about to open the door when she saw that han luo had already opened the door. ¡°Please get out of the car, miss Qiao.¡± Han luo extended his hand elegantly and made a gentleman¡¯s gesture at Jossi. Jossi looked at him in embarrassment and said,¡±¡±Thank you,¡± he said. The two of them entered the vi. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but the quota for today¡¯s appraisal is full. Grandmaster has already gone back to rest. ¡± The Butler walked out leisurely and exined. Joes hurriedly raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Indeed, it was already past the time for the master appraiser to receive guests. The Butler had not lied to them. ¡°Can you make an exception? please help me pass the message.¡± Joes furrowed her brows, feeling a little anxious. If she did not receive news from the master appraiser today, her innocence would not be proven. ¡°No matter what, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to help me pass the message.¡± Joes bowed and said sincerely. The Butler shook his head and smiled.¡±I¡¯m sorry. Pleasee earlier tomorrow. My old master is already resting.¡± Joes pursed her lips and did not say a word. She forced herself to calm down and think of a countermeasure. ¡°We¡¯re really in a hurry,¡± han luo chimed in.¡±Can we ask for your help? can you make an exception?¡± The warm sang sound flowed through his heart, making him feel particrlyfortable. ¡°Look at you,¡± The Butler sneered and said lightly,¡±those with urgent matters would have arrived a long time ago. Looking at how you guys came so slowly, who knew that it was an urgent matter?¡± ¡°This ...¡± Joesse furrowed her brows and subconsciously wanted to retort, but the Butler was telling the truth and she did not know what to say. For a moment, the three of them were speechless. ¡°Please ask your old man toe out.¡± Han luo opened his mouth and said unhurriedly,¡±this is Jossi, who just participated in the jewelry exhibition. The jewelry she made has received good reviews from the crowd.¡± ¡°Jossi?¡± When the Butler heard this name, he was clearly stunned for a moment. He carefully sized up Joes and hesitated. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. Please invite the master.¡± Joes nodded, her eyes filled with hope,¡±as for whether you reject it or not, I will abide by it.¡± The Butler looked at joesse¡¯s sincere expression and nodded in agreement. He then turned around and walked towards the stairs. ¡°Do you think the master can appraise it for me?¡± Joesse¡¯s fingertips trembled slightly. She was not sure if the master would be able to identify it for her. Han luo looked in the direction that the housekeeper had left andforted her.¡±¡±Of course, give yourself some confidence.¡± After about ten minutes, the Butler apanied an old man down the stairs. ¡°Jewelry master Qiao?¡± The old man took his seat and sized up Joes carefully, indicating for her to sit down. ¡°It¡¯s me, master. ¡± Joes nodded with a smile and sat down with han luo.¡±Thank you for being willing to identify it for me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to meet you. What a coincidence today. ¡± The master of identification had a kind look on his face.¡±Quick, prepare the hot tea. This is an important guest.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite. ¡± Joes thanked him and took out her blueprint from her bag.¡±I won¡¯t keep you in suspense. The results of the appraisal are very important to me. I need you to prove my innocence.¡± After saying that, Joes bowed deeply. The master appraiserughed and nodded slightly.¡±Of course, I¡¯ve heard about you.¡± At this moment, the Butler had already brought the tea and the master appraiser¡¯s appraisal tools. In therge hall, there was only the sound of paper flipping. Everything was exceptionally quiet. Joes held the cup of tea, her fingers gripping the rim tightly. Her heart was in turmoil, and she was afraid that the master appraiser in front of her would not be able to prove her innocence. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± The master appraiser put down the two drafts in his hand and took off his sses unhurriedly. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.¡±This tea is good. Try it.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes followed the master appraiser¡¯s instructions and drank the tea in one gulp, even though she was anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry. This tea has to be slowly tasted. ¡± The master appraiser looked at joesse and said with a smile,¡±don¡¯t worry, your jewelry design is indeed extraordinary.¡± Joes carefully savored the master appraiser¡¯s words, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly put down the cup in her hand and asked,¡±¡±Can you tell what the situation is?¡± ¡°Of course, my reputation didn¡¯te from a random ce.¡± The master appraiser said arrogantly. He then flipped through the map and said seriously,¡±there are many differences between these two maps. Look here and here.¡± The master appraiser pointed at the two blueprints and showed them to Joes bit by bit. ¡°And I saw the picture posted on the inte. This picture ispletely different from the one posted on the inte.¡± The master of identification took a sip of tea and concluded. Joes frowned and thought of Kerry immediately. Kerry had handled these blueprints before, so he might know something. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll leave first. ¡± Joes looked at the master of identification and han luo and said,¡±I think I have some clues.¡± Then, she walked out of the hall, swiped her phone, and stopped at Kerry¡¯s name. The phone call was made, and the other party responded very quickly. ¡°Hello, sisi, What time is it? why are you still calling me? I¡¯m so busy.¡± An anxious voice came from the other side of the phone, and there was also the sound of footsteps. ¡°What¡¯s the situation with my design?¡± Jossi pursed her lips and asked calmly.¡±Why is the one I have different from the one I have?¡± The other party didn¡¯t respond for a while. After a long time, he hurriedly said that he had something to do and hung up. Joes saw that Kerry was obviously unwilling to answer her question, so she decided to go to the model show and ask him.

Chapter 704: Chapter 705-face pping

Just like that, han luo braved the danger of speeding, and joesse was able to reach the modeling show very quickly. Unfortunately for her, joesse had just arrived at the model show. She walked to the front desk and asked the staff, only to find out that they had not been able to contact Kerry for a few days. Surprised, Joes thought for a moment and quickly took out her phone to give Kerry¡¯s phone number. She matched it with the staff and unexpectedly, it was the same number Kerry had left for the model show. At this moment, before Joes could react, she heard Lisa, who was slowly walking towards her, and her slightly exaggerated voice. ¡°Oh£¬ my God! Everyone,e and see who this is? Hiss, why did she look so much like that famous jewelry designer, Jossi? Are my eyes ying tricks on me?¡± Joesse looked at Lisa and frowned. She said with mild anger, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± ¡°Of course it means what it says. What else do you want me to say? Are you saying that you¡¯re a jewelry designer with an empty title? Or what? Don¡¯t you think that I¡¯m insulting the name of a jewelry designer by saying that?¡± Just as Joris was about to retort, Lisa put on an innocent and harmless look before she could even speak, ¡°Besides, with the things you¡¯ve done behind my back, you don¡¯t deserve to be a jewelry designer, do you?¡± After saying that, Lisa started instigating the people who were watching. Joes followed Lisa¡¯s gaze and looked at the people around her. Although no one said anything, Joes could tell that they still silently agreed with Lisa¡¯s words. After snorting coldly, Joes said in an especially tough tone,¡±how am I not worthy? Which eye of yours saw what I did behind my back? Or is it that you change your direction when the wind blows, and start to waver when you see some information?¡± After saying that, Joes still felt a little unsatisfied as she slowly walked towards Lisa and continued to speak to her with a condescending expression. ¡°A woman like you isn¡¯t even half as capable as me, yet you want to mock me over such a simple matter? Hmph, in your dreams. After all, you can understand that some things are just rumors if they were rumors from the beginning?¡± Lisa¡¯s face turned red, but she still couldn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Wow, sisters, look! It¡¯s Han luo!¡± Han luo, who had no clues, wanted to call Joes to ask her about the situation on her side, but he did not expect Joes to not pick up his call. This led han luo to think that Joes was surrounded by reporters again. However, he did not expect that Joes was in the middle of a heated argument with Lisa. Hence, he did not go forward to disturb her, but watched everything silently from a corner. Unfortunately, even though South Africa was already standing in the corner, he was still discovered by a sharp-eyed model. Because of this, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to han luo, and theypletely forgot about Jossi and Lisa. On the other hand, Joes was a little puzzled by the current situation. Herrge eyes were filled with great doubt, and in an instant, a trace of unknown information shed through her mind. Could han luo be one of the models here? ¡°You work here?¡± As soon as Joes said this, there was a sudden uproar. The people around them were surprised because they could see that han luo and Joes knew each other, but he did not know han luo¡¯s true identity. This was very surprising. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that han luo is not only a model for our show, but he is also a fashion magazine artist and a psychiatrist?¡± Uh...It seemed like Jossi really did not know about this. However, it was not appropriate for Jossi to say anything. She could only smile shyly to hide her awkwardness. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be fooled by her appearance. After all, some people¡¯s seduction skills are better than mine. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t dare to say that she has achieved so much. Did she really do something to the locals?¡± Lisa, who had been rendered speechless by Joes earlier, could not take this lying down. Moreover, Joes had even dared to p her in front of so many people. How could Lisa take this lying down? Hence, Lisa seized the opportunity to use this incident to educate Joes and regain her dignity. ¡°Who is it? You¡¯re probably that kind of person, a dog¡¯s mouth can¡¯t produce any ivory, and the words you say are all so Grand and absurd. ¡± Eh? When Lisa heard han luo¡¯s sudden words, she froze in shock. Then, she came to her senses and realized that Joes and han luo knew each other, and she had just said those words. Wasn¡¯t she just asking for trouble? ¡°This ...¡± Lisa was filled with regret. If she could turn back time, she would have definitely avoided Jossi from the very beginning. She would not havee up to her and argued with her, which had caused her to be in such an embarrassing situation. Furthermore, she would have lost all her face. However, this was just another thought of Lisa ¡®s. Her main thought was that han luo was actually speaking up for this woman, Jossi. Lisa was really unhappy, but even so, she could only be speechless. Han luo felt a burning gaze on him and turned around. His eyes met with Jossi ¡®s, and Jossi chuckled and said softly,¡±thank you.¡± After saying that, joesse turned around and was about to leave. However, she did not expect to be surrounded by a swarm of reporters the moment she reached the entrance. Fortunately, han luo stood there and watched the scene. He felt that it would be inappropriate for him to leave Joes in the lurch since they were acquaintances, so he walked past her. And because of han luo¡¯s actions, he sessfully attracted the attention of the reporters. Then, they all began to surround han luo, their eyes only on han luo¡¯s front page headline. This time, joesse was finally able to get away with it. However, at the same time, on Weibo, the matter of joesse¡¯s suspected giarism of her design drawings had started to blow up. Even the system had started to crash, and the content was all about dissing joesse. Chapter 705

Chapter 705: Angry

Trantor: 549690339

After Joes found out about these things, she naturally did not care about them. It was just some people after all. Why should he be so suspicious of them? he would do what he should do and not do what he should not do. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I¡¯m also looking forward to what you¡¯re going to do next.¡± He was serious when he said that. After he said that, he went to get himself a cup of coffee and turned on theputer to look at the documents. Lisa was naturally a little unconvinced at this point in time. She did not expect that Joes would not mind anything as if she was the only one who was angry. Hence, she was already very angry at this point in time. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you won¡¯t be angry next time. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll let you see how powerful I am.¡± She had already said those words angrily and had already switched on her phone. Her intention was definitely to me Jossi. Since Jossi did not mind, she could do whatever she wanted. She went to buy a lot of Inte Water Army. Once this woman held a grudge, she was afraid that this person would also be fooled by her. Even if she had to do her best, she would let this woman know how powerful she was. She would not let him continue to be so free. If he were to continue to stay like this, he would write his name backward. Joes couldn¡¯t help but yawn. She was going to take a nap, but she didn¡¯t expect to see the Weibo message that popped up on theputer. Hence, she stopped for a moment. Ming Ming didn¡¯t mind it at first, but he didn¡¯t expect to see this message. ¡°Is it because the Tiger doesn¡¯t show its power, it really thinks I¡¯m this kitten? I originally didn¡¯t care about what kind of things you do, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so insatiable and keep doing things like this. Since that¡¯s the case, don¡¯t me me for being impolite to you. ¡± Joes had already said that in a fit of anger. She had never thought that this woman would actually do so many outrageous things. Hence, she was still a little angry at the moment. Just like that, he smacked the cup on the table. Because of her smacking, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was still fine at the end and was lying on the table. ¡°Everything you¡¯ve done is your own doing. If you didn¡¯t treat me like this, I wouldn¡¯t have treated you like this. I¡¯ll show you how powerful I am next.¡± Fortunately, he had heard the conversation between this woman and those people who were ming her. Coincidentally, the recording was also in his hands. He took out this recording. If he were to post this recording in his name directly, it would definitely attract a lot of anti-fans. Therefore, there was only one thing he had to do now, and that was to post it anonymously on thework, because only in this way could he clear his name. Those fake reviewers were useless. ¡°Heh, don¡¯t me me for being merciless to you. After all, all of this is your own doing. If you hadn¡¯t treated me like this, I wouldn¡¯t have treated you like this either.¡± Anyway, this woman wouldn¡¯t go so far. If she knew how to stop, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have done such a thing. Unfortunately, he could only me himself for buying this water Army. Moreover, it was these water Army who had been constantlymenting on his Weibo. In an instant, they had attracted a lot of haters. He wasn¡¯t a fool. How could he not know about the Inte Water Army and this anti-fan? however, since this person had already done such a thing, he wouldn¡¯t let him off. Just like that, she had used an anonymous method to post it on the inte. After the recording was posted, it became a hot search in an instant. The number of views had already exceeded a million. Did this mean that these people were quite concerned about this woman? If they didn¡¯t ... If he cared about this woman, why would there be so many views? However, this was the effect that he wanted. As long as he cared about more people, he would be able to know the true face of that woman. In an instant, he had already changed his attitude. These people already knew what kind of person Joes was. It turned out that Joes was also a victim. They did not expect this woman to be so overboard. This woman had already gone too far, and they still wanted to protect her just now. At this moment, they felt that they were simply blind and deaf. Therefore, they felt that Joes was very pitiful at this moment and had already run over tofort her. Thements that had been under Joes¡¯s post had also taken a 360-degree turn from their previous attitude. The result that Joes wanted was for that woman to know that she was not a pushover. If he wanted to treat her like this, she felt that she would definitely retaliate and let him know how strong she was. This was because there was a limit to his patience. If he hadn¡¯t done such an excessive thing, he could have left him a way out. However, it was this person who had done such an excessive thing. If he wanted to me someone, he could only me him for it. Who else could he me? After seeing so many peoplementing on this post, Joes knew that this woman was probably being scolded by many people right now. Since she had received so many people¡¯s constion, she also replied to a few people. She made them feel that she was not that cold and aloof. Hence, she had gained a lot of fans in an instant. These fans all felt that joesse was a pretty good person and joesse was also a little happy. On the contrary, it was different for Lisa. She had already lost arge number of fans, so she was very angry. She did not expect Jossi to be so smart. Chapter 706

Lisa was naturally very angry as well, but no matter how angry she was, what could she do? anyway, it was already over. After being retaliated by Joes, her poprity had already grown. If she did not find someone to resolve this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Hmph, this means that you¡¯re lucky enough to escape this time. However, I won¡¯t let you escape so easily the next time. I¡¯ll let you know how powerful I am.¡± Lisa said angrily. After that, she picked up the ss of water on the table and gulped it down. Lisa tried her best to find someone to help her solve this problem, but she didn¡¯t expect that no one could solve it. In the end, she had an idea, which was to spend money to ask the police to solve this problem first. ¡°Damn it, why do I have to ask the Public Security Bureau to solve this matter at this time?¡± After everything was settled, Lisa turned on theputer and looked at the number of fans on Weibo again. She didn¡¯t expect it to have dropped so much, and there were even some anti-fans. ¡°I¡¯m so angry. Why have the number of fans dropped so much? If it has already dropped so much, what should I do in the future?¡± However, she didn¡¯t expect that after thinking for a long time, she still couldn¡¯te up with a solution. Thus, she felt a little disappointed. She sat on the chair in a dispirited manner and kept thinking in her heart. A gentle breeze blew over, and it was unknown whose thoughts it was blowing. Han luo already knew that he had helped joesse, but that woman had already used it to make a fuss about it, so he felt guilty about it. If he had not done so, perhaps Joes would not have been exposed and such a huge incident would not have happened on this Weibo. Therefore, at this moment, they felt a little guilty. If they had known that things would turn out this way, they would not have done what they did. Therefore, they also felt a little angry in their hearts. ¡°Fortunately, such a thing didn¡¯t happen. If it did, I would be so guilty that I would die. It¡¯s really hard to live with your own sins.¡± There was a good saying that good would be rewarded, and evil would be rewarded. This person had done such a treasonous thing, and in the end, he had to bear the consequences. He could not me anyone but himself. He also saw that he seemed to be in a very miserable state because he had lost a lot of fans. Some fans had even be the leaders of the anti-fans and were constantlymenting in front of him. Lisa was probably very angry at this moment because this woman had already lost so many fans. Unfortunately, these fans would note back anymore. Even if they did, they would be anti-fans. He had never thought that there would be a woman who could be so ruthless and achieve her goals by any means. Perhaps it was Lisa. After giving it some serious thought, he felt that he was also responsible for this matter. If it was not because of him, why would he have harmed Joes? after going through such a setback, he did not feel good about it. No matter what, he had to treat joesse to a meal. This meal could be considered as an apology. Hence, he took out his phone and dialed joesse¡¯s number. Joes was looking at the design drawings on theputer when her phone suddenly toot. She was a little confused as to who was calling her. When she picked up her phone, she did not expect it to be han luo. Why would han luo call her at this time? Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still answered the call at the end. ¡°Hello, how are you?¡± Joes had already said this gently. She really wanted to know why this person would suddenly call her. No matter what, this person would not call her for no reason. Something must have happened. When han luo heard that Jossi had sessfully picked up the call, he was a little hesitant. He did not know how to start talking about this, but he thought about it in the end. As a man, how could he be hesitant? ¡°Actually, I called you this time to tell you something. This matter concerns the public opinion this time.¡± When joesse heard this, she already knew what this person meant. It turned out that she had not taken this matter to heart at the time. If that woman had not hired an Inte Water Army, she would not have dealt with her. ¡°So it¡¯s about this. You don¡¯t have to mind it too much. After all, I don¡¯t mind anything.¡± Jossi did not mind this matter at all, because it was not worth it to mind it. ¡°No matter what, this is the main reason why I¡¯m here. I want to treat you to a meal to express my apology.¡± Joes had never thought that this person would actually invite her to dinner. She had wanted to reject him at first, but she realized that she did not know what reason to use to reject him. Furthermore, this person had always expressed her guilt. If she did not go to dinner, would he overthink things? ¡°Actually,¡± Han luo. He directly asked Joes if she was willing to have a meal with him. He did not have any other intentions and only wanted to express his apology. In the end, Jossi had no choice but to agree. The two of them had already gone to the Western restaurant to eat. However, Yang Yue Yue happened to see it. A smile appeared in Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes, and she took a photo of it and sent it to Zheng Zeyi. Chapter 707

Chapter 707: The attitude

Trantor: 549690339

Jossi and han luo were also sitting in the Western restaurant. The atmosphere in the Western restaurant was indeed very good. ¡°This Western restaurant was actually introduced to me by an old friend of mine. However, I feel that the atmosphere of my Western restaurant is much better than that of other ces. The steak here is also much more tender than that of other ces. I think you should like it, right?¡± When joesse heard this, her reply was very simple. She just gave a perfunctory reply because no matter what she said, she did not want to have any more interaction with this person. At this moment, the waiter walked over and ced a cup of tea beside them. This cup of tea was enough for the two of them to take a sip of before eating the steak. It could soothe their intestines. This attitude was quite good, and joesse liked it very much. ¡°This restaurant¡¯s attitude is pretty good. I¡¯ve been to other ces to eat steak before, but the attitude there is indeed not as good as here.¡± When han luo heard what joesse said, he knew that joesse was very satisfied with the products of this store. In that case, the meal today should have been quite good. ¡°Do you like it? If you like it, we can do it next time. If you¡¯re free,e here often to eat. Actually, I quite like to eat here too. ¡± Yang Yue Yue had also obtained the photos of the two of them at this time. Seeing the two of them eating here, her eyes had already curled up into a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to catch him. It¡¯s such a good opportunity. I can¡¯t waste it. There won¡¯t be a next time. I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll get this opportunity again.¡± Her eyes were filled with smiles. After all, she couldn¡¯t waste such a good opportunity. She had to put on a good performance. Just like that, he found a technician who specialized in drawing review. This technician¡¯s technique was quite good, and because he had a lot of good reviews, he had already gotten the technician to review Jossi and han luo together. ¡°If thisdy wants to put the two of them together, the price will be a little higher. Are you willing to pay?¡± After he said that, Yang Yue Yue did not hesitate to tell him. No matter how much he asked for, she would be willing to give him. As long as he wanted to achieve the effect he wanted, she would give him anything he wanted. ¡°In that case, you just need to give me an hour. I¡¯ll give you the photo you want in half an hour. Don¡¯t worry.¡± At this time, the photos had been directly marked together. Yang Yueyue could not help but smile when she saw the photos. She did not expect them to be so real. ¡°Oh my God, I didn¡¯t expect it to be so powerful. There are no traces of Photoshop at all. I have to say, your skills are really superb.¡± After looking at the photo, he finally found Zheng Zeyi¡¯s contact information, so he sent it directly. ¡°Oh my, what do you think Zheng ze will do when he sees you with another man? Would he be very angry? I don¡¯t know why, but I¡¯m actually looking forward to it. ¡± Zheng Zeyi was currently dealing with the root of his document and did not care about anything else. However, his phone suddenly toot, so he had some doubts in his heart at that moment. ¡°All of a sudden, could it be that Joes sent me a message?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. He thought that it was Joes who had sent him the message, so he could not help but turn on the phone. However, he did not expect to see Joes being so intimate with someone else and eating there. At that moment, their expressions changed drastically. They had never expected that Joes would actually be able to have a meal with a stranger. They were already stunned. Therefore, at this time, his expression was not very good. He looked at the documents on the table again and no longer had any thoughts at this moment. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have a meal with this man. I¡¯m already shocked by your sess.¡± Zheng Zeyi was also very unhappy in his heart because he had never thought that joesse would actually eat with another man. However, no matter how unhappy he was, what could he do? could he go and look for Jossi and drag his brother away? By the time she arrived, Jossi and that man would have probably finished their meal. Zheng Zeyi did not call Qiao sisi either. Instead, he sat there alone and did not say a word. Joes and han luo¡¯s conversation was more congenial, so at this time, they both had the same smile on their faces. They did not expect this meal to be so pleasant. ¡°Actually, I think if we¡¯re sopatible with each other, why don¡¯t we just add each other on WeChat?¡± However, after she said that, Jossi agreed without hesitation. After all, the two of them were already having a great time chatting, and adding each other as friends on WeChat was not a bad idea. For example, if the two of them had something to discuss, they could just use WeChat instead of calling each other. The two of them had parted ways after the meal. After they went back, the two of them chatted quite happily because han luo often went to find some design drawings from the fashion world for joesse. Joesse also felt that these design drawings could help her. After all, she was very interested in these design drawings, and they could also improve her level. Joes was also very happy in her heart. Moreover, she felt that this design would really be able to help her, so she was also very happy in her heart. Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Drinking coffee

Trantor: 549690339

At this time, joesse had also returned home. However, for some reason, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. It was as if Zheng Zeyi was a little unhappy. Zheng ze suddenly remembered that joesse had a meal with that man. He wanted to ask about it, but he did not say anything in the end. Instead, he stood there quietly and drank his coffee alone. ¡°Today, I went out for dinner with a man. His name is han luo. Actually, we don¡¯t have any rtionship. We just went out for dinner. We¡¯re just ordinary friends, so you don¡¯t have to worry about anything.¡± After he said that, Zheng Zeyi did not expect that joesse would take the initiative. Hence, he raised his head and looked at her. Joesse saw the look in her eyes and knew what she was thinking. ¡°But no matter what, I still don¡¯t want to see you eat with a man, so next time, don¡¯t eat with him alone. If you really want to go, you can tell me and I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Qiao si si knew what Zheng ze meant by that. He looked like a child who was probably jealous. Therefore, there was a hint of adoration in his eyes at this moment. He could not help but reach out and gently ruffled Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hair. ¡°I know. I won¡¯t do it again next time, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± When he saw Joes smile at him and ruffle his hair, Zheng Zeyi did not resist and let her do as she pleased. He did not know why he felt a little more at ease after Joes said that. No matter what was going to happen next, he hoped that he and Joes would be together forever. No one would be able toe between them. If anyone dared toe between them, that person would definitely be in for a terrible time. In the end, joesse had also gone to investigate the person who had framed her. Therefore, he felt a little dispirited as he sat there. He had never thought that he would be framed one day. Therefore, he felt a little ufortable in his heart at this moment. However, no matter how ufortable he felt, what could he do? After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn¡¯t figure it out in the end. He could only go to his good friend, Chen Anna. ¡°What happened to you recently? I keep feeling that something big has happened to you. Why don¡¯t you tell me now? also, you should have something to tell me when youe here. ¡± Chen Anna said this to the person in front of her very seriously. She really wanted to know if something really happened. Qiao si nodded without hesitation. It did happen. If she had found the person who framed her, he would not havee here to find Chen Anna. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I was used of stealing the designer¡¯s jewelry. I don¡¯t know who¡¯s trying to frame me behind my back. Do you know?¡± Chen Anna was also a little confused when she heard this, but she could roughly understand. ¡°You said that someone framed you for stealing the designer¡¯s jewelry.¡± When he said this, Chen Anna did not hesitate to feel a little speechless. She had never thought that it would be like this. ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect anyone to frame me either, but someone did frame me like that. I was shocked when I heard about it because I knew nothing about it.¡± After Joes finished her sentence, she sat on the sofa and thought about it seriously. In the end, she could not think of anything. She raised her head and looked at Chen Anna. She really wanted to know what Chen Anna was thinking. ¡°I¡¯m also very speechless about this matter. Let me get you a ss of water. This way, you can calm down your emotions.¡± After he said that, he went to get a nket and poured a ss of water for Joes. He ced the ss of water beside Joes and she took a sip. No matter what, he still had to think of a way to solve this problem, as long as he could think of a way to solve it. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely find the person who framed me, and I¡¯ll definitely let him know how powerful I am. I won¡¯t let him go. After all, he made me suffer so much, so I must return it. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t I be letting him down?¡± Chen Anna heard everything clearly and nodded her head without any hesitation. She felt that what Joes said made sense, so she told Joes at thest moment that she would definitely help Joes. Chen Anna thought of the Weibo incident again. Hence, she asked Joes about it. She wanted to know about the Weibo incident as well. It would be great if she could find some clues from the Weibo. ¡°I don¡¯t have any rtionship with this person, so you don¡¯t have to think too much about it. We¡¯re just ordinary friends. I think you know what kind of person I am.¡± Chen Anna had only heard joesse¡¯s words at this moment. After all, no matter what, the two of them had known each other for so long. Since they had known each other for such a long time, they would definitely believe in Joes ¡®character. Since Joes had said so, they would definitely not go there again. In the end, they would still help Joes to find the thief. For some reason, Anna Chen also wanted to know which thief dared to frame Joes. If she found out about this, she would not let him off. She would let him know what it meant to suffer the consequences of his own actions. When Joes found out that Anna Chen was also nning to help her catch the thief, she felt veryforted and could not help but hug Anna Chen. He had thought that he would have to search for her alone, but he did not expect that she would be willing to help him in the end. Chapter 709 - Thoughts

Chapter 709: Thoughts

Trantor: 549690339

Chen Anna seriously thought about where she could investigate this matter, so she had an idea in an instant, which was to go to the hotel where the jewelry designer was not in. If he wanted to know where the designer¡¯s jewelry was lost, he could only go to the hotel and look for it seriously. Only after going to this ce would he know how to solve the problem. When Chen Anna came here, the staff also happened toe here. When he saw him sneaking around, he immediately called out to him. ¡°Why are you so sneaky? what are you doing here? if you don¡¯t tell me the reason, don¡¯t hang up. I won¡¯t be polite to you.¡± Chen Anna directly stated her purpose ofing here at this time. With just a nce, the man in front of her saw the look in his eyes and knew that he probably thought she was a thief. Otherwise, why would he be here sneakily? He exined everything that had happened in a serious manner. After he finished, he kept staring at the staff member. The staff member also knew the purpose of this person¡¯s visit. He thought about it seriously. He already had some ideas. ¡°I want to investigate the video from this camera. Is that possible?¡± When he said that, the staff naturally agreed. However, it seemed like the camera was broken. ¡°That night, this camera was broken, so there¡¯s no record of it. It exists, so even if you look at it now, there¡¯s nothing.¡± Chen Anna instantly stood there like a wooden man. She didn¡¯t know what to do at all. She didn¡¯t think that things would develop to this stage, so she felt that her head was getting bigger. ¡°Since the camera is broken, there should be a record on the check-in. In that case, why don¡¯t I check the check-in? I¡¯ll be able to detect it.¡± As soon as he said that, the staff member in front of him immediately refused because they would never let anyone see such a thing. He absolutely couldn¡¯t be allowed to see these things because he couldn¡¯t see them. Even he, who could y ball, wouldn¡¯t agree. Chen Anna heard it again, but she couldn¡¯t check the check-in, so she was a little helpless and didn¡¯t know what to do. He thought about it again. If he only checked the registration that day, he probably wouldn¡¯t reveal anything. Therefore, he told the hotel staff about it. However, he didn¡¯t expect the hotel staff to still reject him and not let him investigate. At this moment, he felt a little helpless and didn¡¯t know what to do. What should I do? anyway, this matter has been rejected. I can¡¯t just rush in now. What if this person calls for some security guard and drives me out when I rush in? wouldn¡¯t that be very embarrassing? Chen Anna was so unlucky that she felt a little annoyed at this moment. However, no matter how annoyed she was, she had to think of another way. Anyway, if this method did not work, there were other ways. There had to be a way. When they saw the hotel, they felt a little frustrated and helpless. ¡°We¡¯re very sorry about this. We also want you to check the information of this person, but no matter what, there¡¯s no way for you to do it. So, you can only ask for another way out. If there¡¯s nothing else, we have other things to do. We¡¯ll leave first.¡± When he said this, Chen Anna also nodded her head. Since this person had already said this, could she still force him? Therefore, in the end, they were all walking around here, somewhat dispirited. Then, she seriously thought about it and looked up at the words on the wall. She was going to continue walking in. However, they also thought that it would be better for them to go in. There was no use for them now, so they might as well not go in. Therefore, in the end, they could only leave this ce. No matter what, there was no other way now, so he could only find another way. Chen Anna had just left the hotel, but to her surprise, Joes had already stopped the car. After getting out of the car, he took a deep breath and looked at the hotel. After seeing the words ¡°hotel,¡± he decided in his heart that he must find a way out today. If he couldn¡¯t find this evidence, then he would havee for nothing. At this time, they had also arrived at the hotel. When they saw the staff member, the staff member¡¯s eyes had a different look. The woman had just found the way, so why was this woman here again? she was asking the same question. The staff felt a little helpless at this moment, but no matter how helpless he was, what could he do? No matter what would happen next, they would give the same answer, which was that it was impossible. If they checked the information of this guest, it would be a threat to the guest¡¯s privacy. They must not let her check. After Joes found out about this, she asked them if they could take a look at the guest room. In the end, they agreed and said that they could take a look. Joesse could only go to the guest room to take a look. Otherwise, where else could she go? Chapter 710

Chapter 710: Rarely seen

Trantor:549690339

Joes sat in the guest room for a while and found something useful. It was a button on a shirt. This type of shirt was notmon and had to be custom-made. It was very expensive. Joes felt that she could start her investigation from there. Joes brought the button into a factory and asked the staff, but she did not get any useful information. The staff told joesse that the buttons were not for sale. When they saw Jossi at work, they decided to visit the guest room. It was not a big deal, so they agreed to it. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you cane with me to this guest room. But don¡¯t wander around, you muste with me.¡± After hearing those words, Joes could not help but think to herself,¡¯could it be that they¡¯re still afraid that I¡¯ll steal this thing from them?¡¯ To Joes, she did not seem to have any thoughts about these items. She even thought that she would steal their things. Perhaps they were suspicious of her because of the previous incident. These were all very normal things, so she could only nod her head silently in the end. Aftering to this guest room, he had a feeling that he would definitely find something useful to him. Therefore, he carefully observed the surroundings. The purpose was very simple, and that was to find something useful. For example, if he found any clues, it would be very useful for him to get rid of this false usation. At this moment, he saw it. Was there a small thing in that ce? because it was small, it was rarely discovered and absorbed by others. Because his eyes were more golden, he could directly see that thing. He turned around, and the sound of high heels rang out in the guest room. He squatted down and picked up the small thing. He saw that it was a button. This should be a button on a shirt, and he was observing it carefully. The staff member did not say anything when he saw that Joes had picked up the button. Instead, he just stood there and watched. He knew the purpose of Joes¡¯s visit. She was here to investigate the truth. ¡°I wonder if you still need any help in the future?¡±
Joesse looked at the staff member with a hint of joy on her face. After saying this to herself, she immediately shook her head, indicating that she no longer had her current self. This button was enough. ¡°This kind of clothing is notmon and needs to be custom-made. Look at the price, who can afford to wear such clothes? This person should be someone with a very high status. ¡± Joes mumbled to herself as she observed the button carefully. After observing it for a while, she had an idea in her mind. She could start from the button on the shirt. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to get a clue, so he couldn¡¯t waste it like this. He had to ask seriously. Only after asking would he know what to do next. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything else to say. You can just lock this guest room up. I¡¯m very grateful to you.¡± When the staff member heard this, he only shook his head. After all, no matter what he said, he could understand joesse¡¯s feelings. After all, anyone would be unhappy to be framed. Even though she had not known Joes for long, she could tell that Joes was not that kind of person. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to thank me. I also believe that you¡¯re definitely not that kind of person. Although we haven¡¯t known each other for long, I still feel that you¡¯re not that kind of person, so I believe that you¡¯ll definitely be able to clear your name.¡± The staff member did not hesitate to say this at this moment. Moreover, his tone was firm. After he said this, Joes¡¯s heart wasforted to a certain extent. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m very grateful to you. If it were someone else, I¡¯m afraid they wouldn¡¯t say these words to me. Therefore, I¡¯m also very grateful to you because you believe in me.¡± Therefore, they were very happy in their hearts. At least this person was willing to believe in them. Moreover, he was just a stranger. How could they not be happy when a stranger was willing to believe in them? ¡°No matter what, I¡¯m just saying what I feel. You¡¯re a good person.¡± At the end of the day, Joes had also left the ce with this button. At that moment, he had made up his mind that he should be able to start with this button. As long as he could find out the owner of this button, he might be able to find out who had taken his things. He wanted to see who it was that would actually frame him at this time. At this time, he came outside and breathed in the fresh air. He took out the button in his hand and looked at it carefully. If he had to find the owner of this button, and since this button was custom-made, he might ask the workers in the factory and they would know what it was about. Hence, she had already taken the button and entered the factory. When the workers in the factory saw Joes, they were instantly stunned, not knowing why Joes woulde here at this time. When they arrived at the factory, the workers took a good look at it and walked to joesse.
¡°Actually, I really want to know if you know who ordered this button. I think you should know that this button came from the factory. After all, you¡¯re all working here. ¡± After he said this, these people looked at each other and observed the button carefully. In the end, they shook their heads. They didn¡¯t know the origin of this button. After that, the staff also told Joes that this type of button was not for sale.
Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Chapter 712-disbelief

Trantor:549690339

¡°So this kind of thing isn¡¯t for sale?¡± After he said that, the staff member nodded his head. His purpose was to tell Joes that this item was indeed not for sale. After hearing Joes ask twice, she already knew that this item was not for sale. Joes did not believe that this item would not be for sale. Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. She had never expected that she would not be able to find out such a result from her investigation. Therefore, at this moment, they were a little helpless. However, no matter how helpless they were, what could they do? anyway, this matter had already happened to her, so she had to find a way to solve it. ¡°I have to thank you for wasting your time listening to me talk so much. I don¡¯t have anything else to do. If you have something to do, you can go. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After Joes said that, she left the ce and drove back to the house absent-mindedly. At this moment, she suddenly mmed into the wall. He helplessly sighed in his heart. He had never thought that he would not gain anything after going out. Although he had picked up a button, he had not. However, he did not expect that he would not be able to find out anything about this button. Therefore, at this moment, hou was a little frustrated. However, no matter how frustrated he was, what could he change now? there was nothing he could change, so he sat on the sofa in frustration. That time, he thought about it seriously. How could he give in to this matter? in the end, he got up, turned on hisputer, and seriously investigated the hotel. ¡°You must believe in yourself. As long as you keep investigating, you will definitely find something.¡± At this time, he immediately turned on theputer and started investigating the hotel. He didn¡¯t expect the founder of the hotel to be Yang Yue Yue!
¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be the founder of this hotel.¡± Joesse said this in shock. She had never thought that the founder of this hotel would be Yang Yue Yue. However, they had already found out that it was her. ¡®Since it¡¯s this person, could everything be done by him?¡¯ therefore, he made a bold guess in his mind. ¡°If you¡¯re the only one, then don¡¯t me me for being rude to you. After all, you were the one who caused the Weibo incident. Your actions have really surprised me.¡± He said this directly at this time. After saying this, he felt that he should go to the hotel to check the surveince camera. If the person was really there, it meant that he was rted to this matter. ¡°Hmph, if you¡¯re the only one, it means that you really didn¡¯t hide the innocent in the dark. Instead, you¡¯ve been doing these things to deal with me again and again. How disgusting.¡± After Jossi finished her sentence angrily, she shut down theputer with a ¡®pa¡¯ sound. She had already found a rather useful clue. If the button was connected to yang Yueyue, it was all in the past because yang Yueyue¡¯s identity was also here. Moreover, he had a rtively criminal record, so only he could do such a thing. At the thought of this, Joes felt a little angry. However, no matter how angry Joes was, there was nothing she could do to change anything. Hence, she simply sat in her position. At this time, he had decided toe up with a solution. No matter what, he had to investigate the truth of this matter. Only by investigating the ins and outs of the matter could he do what he wanted to do. If he couldn¡¯t find out the truth, who could help him? Therefore, after thinking about it seriously in their hearts, they could only do it well by themselves. As such, joesse immediately asked them to investigate the hotel¡¯s surveince cameras, as that was the only way they could find out what was going on. No matter what would happen next, he could only continue like this. She did not expect to find someone with it at this moment. Furthermore, this person seemed to be somewhat familiar. Joesse thought that she was seeing things and was talking nonsense, so she took a closer look. He didn¡¯t expect to see Yang Yue Yue here all of a sudden. And this was the surveince record from that night. After watching the surveince video, he had always been at the same time in the future. Instantly, he had some thoughts. That was, the woman seemed to be here all the time.
And at that time, the jewelry was gone, so yang Yueyue was the only suspicious person. Otherwise, who else could be suspicious? Furthermore, Yang Yue Yue had a grudge against him before this. Since this person had the word ¡®yes¡¯ with him, he must have done such a thing to someone. Otherwise, who would have the leisure and elegance toe here and steal things sneakily, and even ask him about this matter? moreover, it seemed that the only person he had a grudge against was Yang Yue Yue. After getting the news, you had already decided that you had to tell your best friend as soon as possible. Because right now, the only person you could trust was your best friend. As for the others, could you still trust them? Chen Anna saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and his current expression. She was a little confused as to what made him so happy.
¡°I found out about it in this hotel. Yang Yueyue was also in the hotel that day. Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Signs

¡°If that¡¯s the case, do you think that Yang Yue Yue was the one behind everything?¡± Chen Anna said this directly, and after she said this, Qiao si nodded without hesitation. If it wasn¡¯t done by this person, then why did all the signs point to him? Moreover, he was the only one who didn¡¯t like her. From the previous incident, he was the only one who could do such a thing. How could anyone else do it? Therefore, at this moment, they all had the same conclusion in their hearts, which was that everything was done by that woman. If it wasn¡¯t done by that woman, then how could all the signs be pointing to her? Moreover, this button could also be his, because he had more money than the others. In that case, it meant that he definitely had a motive tomit the crime. ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s the one behind this.¡± When Joes heard those words, her eyes widened. She had never expected Chen Anna to say something like that. Hence, she was in disbelief and did not know what this fellow was thinking. ¡°How could it not be done by this person? actually, I think it was done by this person.¡± Joes did not hesitate to express her point of view. However, Anna Chen immediately calmed Joes down and even went to get him a ss of water. By the time Joes had finished the ss of water, she was already thinking about it seriously in her mind. However, no matter how she thought about it, she still felt that she was the one who had done it. ¡°The news I received was not Yang Yue Yue¡¯s doing, but someone else ¡®S. Do you know why? Even though all signs point to Yang Yue Yue as the culprit, I still feel like he¡¯s just a pawn. ¡±
A gentle breeze blew over. It was unknown who it was blowing, but the surroundings instantly fell silent. At this moment, Qiao si si thought about it seriously. ¡®It seems like you¡¯re always like this. But for some reason, I still feel that it was Yang Yue Yue who did it.¡¯ ¡°Sisi, I know that you must think that yang Yueyue did it, but I still don¡¯t think it¡¯s him. That¡¯s what I¡¯ve found out from my investigation. He might have been used by someone.¡± Anna Chen immediately grabbed Joes¡¯s hand, which meant that the most important thing for him to do now was to calm down. Only after he calmed down would he know what had happened. If he did not calm down, his mind would be in a mess. ¡°I know what you¡¯re saying makes sense, but you should let me think about it. I feel like there¡¯s something fishy about this.¡± After hearing this, Joes nodded her head. Afteryers of thinking, she looked at the sky outside. The sky outside was quite natural. However, his thoughts were veryplicated. No matter what, this thing had already happened. He had to think of a solution. ¡°It¡¯s just that I can feel how you¡¯re feeling right now. Although you¡¯re a little emotionally unstable right now, these things have been happening all along. Even if you don¡¯t want to believe it, the results of my investigation are the same. Don¡¯t let your hatred get to your head.¡± Joes massaged her throbbing temples. She nced at the ss of water on the table and took it. After taking a sip, she ced the ss of water on the table with a loud bang. Due to the weight of the box, it spilled out immediately. By the time Anna Chen saw the scene before her, she already knew that Joes must be feeling extremelyplicated right now. ¡°I believe that some things will eventually pass. So, I think you shouldn¡¯t be angry with yourself now. If you¡¯re angry with yourself, maybe others will still beughing. Why are you angry with yourself?¡± Upon hearing this, Joes felt that Chen Anna¡¯s words made sense. ¡°But what you said does make sense. But no matter what, I¡¯m still not convinced. When I think of that woman¡¯s handiwork, I want to rush to him and give him a few ps. I want to let him know how powerful I am. Let¡¯s see if he still dares to do this next time.¡± Because to the Lord, Joes felt that there was only one person who felt that she would not dare to deal with him. If he knew that Joes would dare to deal with him, would he still do the same? ¡°We can¡¯t get angry now, because if we get angry, it¡¯ll be easy for us to write this essay. Do you want to get old? I think you definitely don¡¯t want to, so we have tough together and not get angry. Isn¡¯t it just Yang Yue Yue?¡± Joes saw her best friend trying her best to make herselfugh. She could not hold it in and burst outughing. She had never thought that her best friend would be so cute. Hence, she immediately hugged her tightly. ¡°I know. Regarding this matter, I¡¯m actually quite extreme in thinking about it because I pushed all the me onto Yang Yue Yue. Because Yang Yue Yue had done those things to me in the past, I¡¯ve also seen her very deeply. Actually, I didn¡¯t want this to happen either.¡± It was not the first day Anna Chen knew Joes. How could she not know anything about Joes¡¯s character?
Therefore, he nodded his head at this moment, indicating that he understood what Joes meant. He also hoped that Joes would not think too much about it and that he would always be by Joes ¡®side. Even if everyone else treated Joes as their inferior, he would not make an enemy of her. Instead, he would protect her. To Joes, she had already felt that this person was in the wrong from the very beginning. She even thought that he was the real culprit who had framed her. If this went on, he suspected that he would be possessed by the devil. Thus, he should put this matter aside for the time being. Finally, he took a deep breath and directly threw these things to the back of his mind.

At this moment, Weibo was also in full swing with discussions about this matter. These people were all expressing their opinions on Joes¡¯s theft. ¡°I thought this person was very powerful. I didn¡¯t expect that he would dare to steal something like this in the end. I¡¯m really shocked.¡± One of themmented sarcastically. After this personmented, the other person also expressed his opinion, which was to agree with this person¡¯s statement. After he finished his sentence, another person started toment. ¡°I¡¯m the same as well. I used to think that Jossi was an amazing person and I was even her fan back then. Now that I think about it, I must be out of my mind to actually treat this person as my idol.¡± They were still chattering away, talking about their own opinions. She had beenmenting on thisment all this while. Not only on the inte, but in the real world as well. Even when some people saw what Joes had said, they would look at her with disdain. Zheng Zeyi turned on theputer at this moment. He did not expect a Weibo message to pop up so quickly, and he was instantly stunned. When he opened Weibo and saw thements, he was stunned. He did not expect that there would be so many peoplementing on Joes¡¯s hot search. Furthermore, it had be a hot search. At first nce, it seemed that many people had followed Joes. If not many people followed Joes, why were there so manyments? ¡°Ha, I just haven¡¯t seen this Weibo for a few days and there are so many peoplementing here. I¡¯m really surprised.¡± This was because Zheng Zeyi had been busy with his work all this while and had no time to care about other things.
If he had known that things would turn out like this, he would have gone to resolve the Weibo issue. Suddenly, his assistant arrived and told Zheng ze about Jossi. ¡°No matter what, some people really have a lot to say. In that case, I¡¯ll go and suppress this matter.¡± No matter what, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s identity was still here. Therefore, he believed that if he were to step in, he would definitely be able to suppress this matter. ¡°I believe that the president will definitely be able to sessfully suppress this matter.¡± After he finished his sentence, the person in front of him nodded. Although Zheng Zeyi had indeed stepped in to suppress this matter, some people were not afraid of Zheng Zeyi at all. They even felt that Zheng Zeyi was nothing more than a flower vase and was of no use. Some of the people who had heard these words were still unwilling to give up. No matter what, they just could not stand Joes, so they had to speak ill of her, wanting to destroy her image. Zheng Zeyi saw Joes frowning at the moment, so he went straight to her. ¡°I¡¯ve already stepped forward to suppress this public opinion when I was in thepany. I don¡¯t think anyone will say anything else.¡± When Joes heard this, she looked up. Zheng Zeyi knew what he had done for her, but some people still had to discuss it. ¡°I know what you¡¯ve done for me, but even though you¡¯vee out to suppress it, some people still have dirty mouths. They¡¯re still discussing it, and I¡¯m getting annoyed listening to them.¡± At this moment, Joes turned on theputer as usual. Thements on theputer were flooding in, and she felt a little helpless. ¡°Actually, I think that if you don¡¯t want to think about these things, you should just turn off thisputer and go to sleep. Maybe you¡¯ll have a different day.¡± Zheng Zeyi tried his best to force a smile on his face, and he only nced at joesse. At this moment, Joes sighed helplessly. Even though she wanted to pretend that she did not see this, thements were still there. Even if she did not want to see it, it still happened. In the end, there was no way to avoid it. No matter how he thought about it, no rule ofw could change it. If he could do it all over again, if he was more careful, perhaps things wouldn¡¯t have developed to this point. He could only me himself for being too careless, which allowed them to take advantage of this loophole. Zheng Zeyi also knew that these people were not afraid of him. If they were afraid of him, they would not say these words if he stepped forward to suppress them. However, he did not expect them to continue to be so stubborn. He could not help but feel a headacheing on.
¡°I¡¯m also very sorry about this matter. If I could be a little stronger, perhaps they wouldn¡¯t be discussing it here.¡° After hearing Zheng Zeyi¡¯s apology, Qiao si did not mind. She shook her head. This matter had nothing to do with Zheng Zeyi, so she told him directly that he did not need to apologize anymore because it was not his fault. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault. Why are you apologizing to me? you didn¡¯t do anything wrong. You just need to do your best and do what you should do. You don¡¯t have to care too much about other things.¡± After joesse finished speaking, she immediately turned off theputer, as it would not bother her if she did not look at it.
Zheng Zeyi knew that Qiao sisi was not in a good mood, so he already had a n in mind. The n was to take her out to rx. However, when Zheng Zeyi opened his mouth, he did not expect her to reject him without hesitation. Chapter 714

Chapter 714: Rejected

Trantor:549690339

¡°I don¡¯t think staying in this room is a good idea. Let¡¯s go out for a walk now.¡± However, after she said this, Joes immediately rejected her andy on the sofa, looking as if she had nothing left to live for. When Zheng ze saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were filled with disappointment. Zheng Zeyi did not expect that Qiao sisi would reject him so directly. He felt a little disappointed, but no matter how disappointed he was, what could he do? Since Qiao si had already rejected him, he could not agree to it anymore. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything more at this final moment. No matter what was going to happen next, he would definitely do his best to cheer up Joes. All of a sudden, his cell phone started toot. Zheng Zeyi was a little confused. He did not know who would call him at this time. Therefore, when he took out his phone and saw the number on the screen, he actually picked up the call without calling the caller ID. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. In the end, the person on the other end of the phone told Zheng Zeyi that he wanted her to attend a banquet, so Zheng Zeyi had already agreed at this time. After all, no matter what, this matter had already happened. After Zheng ze agreed to this, he looked at joesse for some reason. He felt that she was in a bad mood. Hence, they walked up to Joes while feeling a little heartache for her tracking. Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi walking towards her and was a little confused. She did not know what was wrong with Zheng Zeyi. Why did he keep staring at her? could it be that there was something dirty on her face?
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it because there¡¯s something dirty on my face?¡± All of a sudden, Zheng ze hugged joesse tightly. Joesse was slightly stunned as she did not know why Zheng ze had suddenly hugged her so tightly. ¡°No matter what happens next, I will always be by his side. Even if I have to go to hell or abandon you, I will never leave.¡± When Qiao si heard this, she was very happy to know that Zheng Zeyi must have realized that she was in a bad mood. However, no matter what, she could not bring her bad mood to Zheng Zeyi. Hence, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile. ¡°I know what I should do, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much. I¡¯ll definitely maintain my mood.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s heart ached when he saw how joesse was forcing a smile. He told joesse that if she did not want to smile, then she should not. He would not force her either. Qiao si si could sense that Zheng Zeyi had something to say to her, so she took the initiative to ask. She did not expect that it would be a cocktail party and that he would need her to attend it with him. As his wife, she would definitely attend it with him. ¡°So it¡¯s this matter? Then I¡¯ll definitely agree to it. ¡± When Qiao sisi agreed to this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart felt as sweet as honey. He was worried that Qiao sisi would not agree. They did not expect that Joes would take the initiative to agree to it. At this moment, they also stretched out their hands and held Joes ¡®hands tightly. The atmosphere between the two of them became sweet once again. The Butler happened to pass by. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was very happy and wished them well in his heart. He hoped that the two of them would be together for a long time. After all, there were very few people who were as loving as the two of them now. Joesse also returned to the house and dressed up seriously. She was going to attend the party, so she definitely could not embarrass Zheng ze. Wouldn¡¯t it be a little inappropriate if she were to embarrass herself with Zheng ze? Therefore, he already had some ideas for his new works. Zheng Zeyi was also outside, and his manager was also waiting for joesse. After joesse had finished packing up, she came out at this time. When Zheng ze saw how joesse looked, he was instantly stunned. He did not expect joesse to be dressed up so well. Qiao si walked straight to Zheng Zeyi and even took the initiative to hold his hand. Zheng Zeyi was shocked when Qiao si suddenly held his hand. He never thought that Qiao si would take the initiative to hold his hand. ¡°You.¡± ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. If we don¡¯t go now, what if we¡¯rete for that? After all, there should be a lot of people at the party. ¡±
Zheng Zeyi nodded his head with a smile on his face. After that, Zheng Zeyi also took Joes and left the ce directly. When he had left the ce with him, he did not expect to meet Joes ¡®family when he arrived here. The weirdo¡¯s family, who had never thought that they would meet him here, was stunned at this moment. They had already met everything they had, so what else could they do? ¡°Jossi, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to find you. Now that we¡¯ve found you, we actually want you to give us a sum of money.¡±
Joes did not expect these people toe out at this time. Hence, she had a different look in her eyes. She did not expect them to be so thick-skinned and ask for money so openly. Joes was not some money tree, so how could she possibly give them this money? furthermore, he had his own motives for the things that they had done to him previously. Joes saw that these people had been talking non-stop and did not take her seriously at all. As she had been very annoyed over the past few days, all the umted resentment in the past few days exploded at this moment. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys find it annoying? You¡¯re asking me for money here, your skin is thicker than the city walls. You don¡¯t have money, you only have your life. ¡± Joes¡¯s family was afraid that Joes would eventually run away in a panic, so Joes¡¯s mood was instantly lifted. However, he did not expect Yang Yue Yue to arrive at this moment and hear joesse¡¯s words. She was mocking her. Chapter 715

Chapter 715: Chapter 716-icy cold

Trantor:549690339

Yang Yue Yue had also witnessed it. The scene of joesse¡¯s outburst earlier on had shocked her as well. She had never thought that joesse would actually have another outburst. Hence, she was already shocked when she seeded in that instant. She did not expect someone like Jossi to have such a temper. His eyes were filled with a different kind of expression as he walked in front of Qiao si si. He looked coldly at Qiao si si, who saw Yang Yue Yue walking in front of him, her expression turning a little ugly. ¡®Fine, I wonder if this fellow is here to mock me?¡¯ ¡°I feel that you don¡¯t have this sense of responsibility. I didn¡¯t expect you to actually do such a thing.¡± Lele had said this in a reproachful tone and had pushed all the me onto joesse. When joesse heard this, she became a little impatient. Why was this woman everywhere? When he was alone with this woman, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. He couldn¡¯t wait to drive this woman away at this moment. No matter what was going to happen next, some things had already happened. Since they had alreadye, he would just take things as they were. He would just ignore whatever this woman said. ¡°Also, as their daughter, you shouldn¡¯t be protecting them. Why do you still dare to scold your parents at a time like this? I didn¡¯t expect you to even ignore the kindness of raising them.¡± Yang Yue Yue said the same thing again. Her eyes were fixed on Qiao si si, who felt her scalp go numb from her stare. He even felt a little headache. He really hoped that this woman could leave this ce as soon as possible and not appear in front of him again. She saw that Joes waspletely ignoring her and thought that Joes was afraid of her. Therefore, she had other thoughts in her mind. Since Joes did not dare to reply to her, she would definitely push her luck. ¡°Then you must be feeling guilty with your clothes. I didn¡¯t expect someone of your age to feel guilty. I think it¡¯s a little funny.¡± Yang Yue Yue continued to say some other things, her aim was to mock joesse. After all, this was such a good opportunity. If she did not grasp it, wouldn¡¯t she be no different from this fool?
Zheng Zeyi did not expect this woman to be so insatiable and say such things. She did not take Joes seriously at all, and neither did she take him seriously. Joes did not say anything because she did not want to argue with him, but it was different for him. Moreover, to Zheng Zeyi, Qiao sisi was his bottom line. This person kept saying the same thing here. If this man continued to do this, he wouldn¡¯t be polite. Although he said that he didn¡¯t deal with women, if a woman bullied his wife, he would definitely take action and let this person know his power. ¡°I thought you would refute me, but you didn ¡®t. Is it because I¡¯m right that you won¡¯t refute me?¡± Therefore, after hearing those words, he instantly felt that this person was like a three-year-old child. If he wasn¡¯t like a three-year-old child, why would he say such things? More and more people were gathering here, as if they were watching a good show. How could they not watch such a good show? If he didn¡¯t look, wouldn¡¯t he be letting himself down? As such, Yang Yue Yue had been watching them from the side, arguing with each other. When she saw that more and more people were gathering, she was very happy. ¡°He looks like a decent person on the surface, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be so bad behind his back. He even has such an attitude towards his parents. It¡¯s really a joke.¡± One of the passers-by had also said this directly. His eyes were also filled with mockery as he looked at joesse. When joesse heard this passer-by¡¯s words, she did not pay much attention to it. After all, he was just a passerby. What kind of rtionship did he have? Therefore, he could say whatever he wanted. She could not stop him from saying whatever he wanted. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I think so too. I thought he was a good person before, but I didn¡¯t expect that he would do so many things that were too much.¡± There was only one woman who looked at Joes with a sharp and unkind gaze, then started spouting nonsense in front of these people. Yang Yue Yue was very happy. At least what they said was what she wanted. This was because he was still thinking about what he had just said. Would these passersby follow him and refute Joes in the future? But now, he realized that they were all willing to refute Joes ¡®words with him. Joes should be half-dead from anger right now, but he was very happy. Yang Yue Yue had been verbally attacking Joes all this while. Qiao si si did not say a word at this moment. Although she did not say a word, Zheng Zeyi was different. He hated people who came to deal with Qiao si the most because to him, Qiao Si was his life. Yet, this person still dared to say so much. Could it be that Yang Yue Yue didn¡¯t even see him in her eyes? As such, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart was filled withplicated emotions.
If this person continued to push his luck, Zheng Zeyi would not mind getting into a fight with Yang Yue Yue right there and then. He would not even mind pping him to the ground. To Zheng Zeyi, he did not hit women, but that did not mean that he could bully those who bullied his woman. Qiao si si had also sensed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression, so she was a little afraid at this moment. After all, Yang Yue Yue still had this use. She had already taken the initiative to stand up and said coldly after taking a look at Yang Yue Yue. ¡°What kind of thing are you to say such things?¡±

Chapter 716: Hostile

Trantor:549690339

Yang Yue Yue had never thought that joesse would openly oppose her. Hence, they had the same look in their eyes. They had never expected that Joes would actually dare to say such things at this moment. However, they were not angry at all. At this moment, joesse nced at Yang Yue Yue. Her purpose was very simple. She wanted to see if this person was panicking. When she saw that he was standing there and looking at her, she had an idea in her heart. ¡°I want to tell you something. I¡¯ve already been to this hotel and checked the records.¡± The meaning behind joesse¡¯s words was obvious. She wanted to see if Yang Yue Yue had any different expressions. However, he was unexpectedly calm and did not panic at all. Joes was also a little surprised. She did not expect that she would not panic. Even though Zheng Zeyi did not know why Qiao sisi would say something like that out of the blue, she had her own reasons for doing so. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything and just stood quietly beside her. No matter what was going to happen next, even if the entire world were to be jos¨¦¡¯s enemy, he would always protect jos¨¦ and stay by her side. He would not let anyone hurt her. ¡°What does your investigation of this hotel have to do with me? Why are you telling me this now? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange?¡± She calmly said this. Joes could feel that Yang Yue Yue was not flustered at all. In fact, she seemed to know something from her calm demeanor. This matter probably had nothing to do with him. If he had any rtionship with this person, he should be panicking now, not so calm.
Before this, there was still some uncertainty in joesse¡¯s heart. She had always thought that Yang Yue Yue was the mastermind behind this. However, after seeing her expression, she felt that she had been overthinking everything. If this was the doing of this person, he should be very flustered. However, he wasn¡¯t flustered at all at this time. Instead, he was so calm and at ease. This showed that this matter had nothing to do with him. ¡°What I meant by that actually doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m just mentioning it.¡± Qiao si si pretended not to have any intention of doing so, instead, she was carefully observing Yang Yue Yue. Yang Yue Yue picked up the ss of fruit juice beside her, clinked her ss with the man¡¯s and drank it. When Zheng Zeyi saw the look on Qiao sisi¡¯s face, he knew that he was probably pretending to test Yang Yue Yue. By the time this person was a distance away from them, Zheng Zeyi had already taken a nce at her. There were many thoughts in Joes ¡®eyes. ¡°Were you testing that woman just now? If so, did you notice anything wrong?¡± Qiao si raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Just now, I saw this person¡¯s expression. I was sure that he didn¡¯t do this. However, this matter is definitely rted to him.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he did not expect that Joes would have such a guess, so he thought about it in his heart. In the end, he did not stop thinking. However, they did not reveal any expression on their faces. After taking another look at their surroundings, they walked up to Joes and held her hand tightly. ¡°Alright, alright. Let¡¯s hurry and eat now. After all, I¡¯m already hungry.¡± When Qiao si heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, she could not help but tease him. ¡°Are you the reincarnation of this Hungry Ghost? Why did you suddenly tell me that you¡¯re going to eat? You weren¡¯t like this in the past. ¡± Zheng ze did not know what to say after he heard Qiao sisi¡¯s words. Hence, he had no choice but to admit that he was hungry. Because he had been busy these days, or because of those things, he hadn¡¯t had a good meal. Now that he was here, he definitely had to have a good meal. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s go eat now. Don¡¯t look at me like that anymore, because I¡¯m also a little flustered by your gaze.¡± Joesse said helplessly. She was a little afraid of being sized up by Zheng Zeyi.
Zheng Zeyi, on the other hand, had been thinking about something. It was something rted to Yang Yue Yue. When he saw the look in Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes, he felt that she would probably investigate Yang Yue Yue. However, if Qiao si si wanted to investigate Yang Yue Yue, what else could he do? he couldn¡¯t stop her. Since Joes wanted to investigate, then he would just let her do it. When Qiao si saw that Zheng Zeyi had been standing there all this while, she was a little confused as to what was going on. She waved her hand in front of Zheng Zeyi, wanting to know what he was up to at this moment. Zheng Zeyi was actually thinking about some unimportant things at this moment. When he suddenly saw Joes, he shook his hand and quickly came back to his senses.
¡°I¡¯m not thinking about anything, just some unimportant things. You don¡¯t have to ask me anything. But you, you shouldn¡¯t worry about this. Your health is the most important.¡± When Qiao si heard that, she naturally knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. She told Zheng Zeyi without hesitation that she knew what to do and hoped that Zheng Zeyi would not be too worried. However, for ¡­ As for joesse, she already had an idea in her mind, and this idea was to start with Yang Yue Yue. As long as she could investigate Yang Yue Yue¡¯s movements clearly, she would be able to achieve her goal. They did not expect to have a lead so quickly. Hence, they were very happy. Not only did Joes have a lead, even her best friend had a lead. Chapter 717

Chen Anna sat on the sofa. No matter what, he already had a clue. There was only one important thing to do next, and that was to find his hacker friend and let him do it. Chen Anna turned on herputer and contacted her hacker friend. Her friend suddenly saw Chen Anna and contacted her, so she had some doubts. ¡°Anna, howe you have the time to contact me? Did something happen? Or perhaps you need my help. ¡± The hacker friend directly typed out a row of words. When Chen Anna saw the line of words, she told him without hesitation that it was indeed like this. ¡°We¡¯re both friends. What do you need my help with? Just tell me directly. As long as I can help you, I¡¯ll do my best to help you. ¡± Chen Anna¡¯s heart was as sweet as honey. It was good to know this hacker friend. If she needed help, she only needed to tell him and he woulde to help her. ¡°I think it should be easy for you to hack into a cell phone system. After all, no matter what, it¡¯s still this hacker. Besides, you once hacked into apany¡¯s system and even destroyed it.¡± When Chen Anna brought up the past, her hacker friends were a little embarrassed. How could they bring up those things? However, hacking into a mobile phone¡¯s system was indeed very easy for his own people. ¡°I think I can do it. But whose phone system are you trying to hack? give me a name. I¡¯ll find out his IP addresster.¡± Chen Anna was waiting for her hacker friend to say this. As soon as she heard this, she took out all the information and gave it to her hacker friend. By now, her hacker friend had sessfully investigated this person¡¯s specific information.
Chen Anna had been at home the whole time, waiting to know if her hacker friend had found out. No matter what, he had to believe in himself. If he didn¡¯t believe in his hacker friend¡¯s skills, who would? All of a sudden, he received a phone call. Therefore, he was a little confused at this time, not knowing who was calling him. He picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from a friend. ¡°Hello,¡± he said. Hearing this voice, it turned out to be a call from his hacker friend. His hacker friend must have sent this information to him after he had investigated. He didn¡¯t expect that he wouldn¡¯t reply to him, so he had to call him, because he knew that Chen Anna must be a little anxious. ¡°I¡¯ve already investigated this information and sessfully sent it to yourputer. Later, you have to remember to see if there¡¯s anything else you need my help with. Just let me know and I¡¯ll definitely be able to help you.¡± In any case, the two of them had already known each other for so long. If there was anything that he needed, he could just tell her directly. ¡°I still have to thank you. Without you, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to find out about this. Why don¡¯t I treat you to a meal next time to express my gratitude?¡± After saying this, the hacker friend nodded and agreed. After all, it was just a meal. This kind of thing could definitely be agreed. Besides, he hadn¡¯t seen this person for a long time, so wasn¡¯t it good to take this opportunity to meet him? Chen Anna took a deep breath after that because she could see the truth when she turned on theputer. When she turned on theputer, she saw the message that her friend had sent her. He didn¡¯t expect that yang Yueyue and Lin Xiu ¡®er would keep talking about this day. Moreover, the two of them were on the phone too frequently. Even if they had something to do, they would only call once or twice a day. However, he didn¡¯t expect them to call more than ten or twenty times a day. He didn¡¯t know what the two of them were talking about. This was especially so during the few days when joesse was in trouble. The number of days that the two of them talked became even more frequent, as if they were on the phone 24/7. ¡°What have they been talking about these days? Why do you have so much to say all of a sudden? Joes and I are considered besties and we don¡¯t have much to say, but you two have so much to say. ¡± At this moment, he was looking at it seriously because he had already seen the call record of the two of them. It was simply impossible to exin clearly, so it was very strange. It was impossible for an ordinary person to keep making this call. Only people like them, who were possessed, would make this call. Since that was the case, there was only one thing he had to do now, and that was to tell Jossi about this. At this moment, she found Joes, who was sitting on the sofa. She did not expect to hear the sound of a door opening. When she looked at the door, she did not expect to see Anna Chen.
¡°Let me tell you something. Actually, I¡¯ve already investigated the previous incident.¡± On the other hand, Joes was a little confused. She did not know what Chen Anna had found out, so she looked at him in confusion. ¡°Actually, I wanted to tell you that yang Yueyue has been in close contact with that famous female star, Lin Xiu ¡®er, recently.¡± Upon hearing the female celebrity¡¯s name, Jossi actually had some impression of her.
Qiao sisi felt that this matter was not so simple. What was even simpler was that he did not seem to have any interactions with this Lin Xiu ¡®er. Thus, she directly sent someone to investigate it secretly. Only then did she find out that he was actually Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex-girlfriend. Chapter 718

Chapter 718: Framed

Trantor:549690339

¡°Tsk, I was wondering what was going on. I didn¡¯t expect her to frame me. It turns out that it was because of this Zheng Zeyi. It seems that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s so-called luck with women has harmed me.¡± Qiao si si could not help butin. She had never thought that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ex would still be able to frame her at this point in time. It was a pity that he was already married to this person. No matter how much this ex-boyfriend of his wanted to be with Zheng Zeyi, it was a pity that there was no other way. No matter what, even if this Lin Xiu ¡®er was at this moment, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid of whatever she nned to do. She could not help but seriously think about it in her mind. If she told Zheng Zeyi about this, what would he think? She did not know why she was looking forward to it, but after some thought, she decided that it was better not to tell Zheng Zeyi about this. ¡°I wonder if you think we should tell the president about this. Actually, if it were me, I think we should tell the president about this. After all, the president is involved in this.¡± Joesse shook her head, indicating that there was no need to tell Zheng Zeyi about this. She would settle this herself. Otherwise, how awkward would it be between the two of them? so, it was better for her not to tell Zheng Zeyi about this. ¡°Also, you can¡¯t tell Zheng Zeyi about this, understand? I don¡¯t want to bother Zheng Zeyi with these trivial matters. I¡¯ll settle this myself. ¡± When this person heard this, he could only nod his head and agree. After all, Qiao si si had already said so. Was he supposed to tell Zheng Zeyi about this? If the two of them had a misunderstanding because of this matter, wouldn¡¯t he be the sinner? Therefore, in the end, they had no choice but to hide this matter. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first. If Madam has any other orders, just call me. I¡¯ll be here as fast as I can.¡±
Joes nodded her head. After this person left the ce, she seriously tried to figure it out in her mind. She never thought that the ultimate source of this matter would actually be Zheng Zeyi. Thus, she found it a little funny at this moment. Could it be that this woman was somewhat unconvinced? However, no matter how unconvinced he was, Zheng Zeyi was still his own man. He did not even bother to look at those women. ¡°I¡¯d like to see what you n to do now. Do you think I can¡¯t find your little tail?¡± The moment she said that, Joes immediately turned around on the sofa and walked over to the window. A gentle breeze blew in and stirred her thoughts. She was seriously thinking about how to solve this problem. She must think of a way to make this Lin Xiu ¡®er reveal this w. As long as she made him reveal this w, then her opportunity woulde. Moreover, she must grasp this opportunity well, because as long as she grasped this opportunity well, she would be able to wash away this crime. ¡°When that timees, I¡¯ll let you experience how powerful I am. After all, since you¡¯ve pushed all the me onto me, I¡¯ll definitely push it back. A woman like you, I¡¯ll let you know what it means to suffer the consequences of your own actions.¡± After saying that, he went to make himself a cup of coffee. She looked at the sky outside. The sky was blue, but she had mixed feelings. If Zheng ze knew that everything was done by his ex-girlfriend, what would he do? Perhaps it was because his ex-girlfriend didn¡¯t like her. If his ex-girlfriend liked her, she wouldn¡¯t have done such a thing. It was a pity that she and Zheng Zeyi already had this child and they were already husband and wife. In that case, even if his ex-girlfriend wanted to interfere, it would be of no use. Zheng Zeyi had just returned from the office at this time. When he saw Joes sitting on the sofa, he was a little confused. For some reason, he felt that Joes was in a better mood today. ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯ve encountered something happy today? I wonder if you can share it with me?¡± After Qiao si heard this, she kept it a secret and did not intend to tell Zheng Zeyi, so she sat directly next to him. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll tell you after I¡¯ve settled everything. I think you¡¯ll find it funny when you find out.¡± For some reason, Zheng Zeyi felt that there was something in his heart, but he did not know what it was. He did not dare to say it out loud. ¡°No matter what, as long as you¡¯re happy, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve seen that you¡¯ve always been gloomy, so I knew that something bad must have happened. At least, I¡¯m happy that you¡¯re happy now.¡± This was because to Zheng Zeyi, his life was also Qiao sisi ¡®S. Zheng Zeyi cared a lot about Qiao sisi, and he did not care about the others at all. When Zheng ze saw how happy Qiao sisi was, he did not care what the reason was. As long as she was happy, it was fine.
When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi, she had been thinking about a question. Since his ex-girlfriend had taken the jewelry away, it meant that the jewelry was still with her. Since it was still with him, he must find an opportunity to meet this person by chance. Then, he would use this method to take out the jewelry that Lin Xiu ¡®er had stolen. At that time, the truth would be revealed. After all, the jewelry was very precious. He would definitely do the same, because he knew that he had no choice now, so he could only do it this way.
On the other side, Chen Anna had also made an important discovery. She couldn¡¯t believe it herself, because she had never thought that the truth would be like this. If she didn¡¯t know that it would be like this, would she still investigate? Chapter 719

Chapter 719: Strange

Trantor:549690339

Chen Anna felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Previously, she had thought that this matter was done by Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er. However, when she investigated the two of them again, she discovered that it was Zheng Zeyi who had set this up. When he had investigated this, he had been in disbelief, so he had turned off theputer with a bang. After he had recovered, he had turned it on again. When he saw the records and the photos, he was dumbfounded. From the beginning to the end, he had never thought that Zheng Zeyi had something to do with this matter. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi had pretended to know nothing. ¡°Good fellow, I have never thought that you would actually dare to do such a thing. This has left me dumbfounded.¡± Her eyes were also filled with disbelief. From the beginning to the end, she had never thought that Zheng Zeyi was also involved in this matter. If Zheng Zeyi had not done so, perhaps joesse would not have experienced it. Such an incident would not have been affected by the public¡¯s opinion. Chen Anna felt a little upset by the public¡¯s opinion. Why would someone like Jossi have to suffer all those insignificant usations when they clearly had nothing to do with her? When he went to investigate again, he didn¡¯t expect the result to be the same. In fact, Chen Anna didn¡¯t want to know such a result either. If it was really just Yang Yue Yue and Lin Xiu ¡®er who were ordered to do it, she could still ept it, but Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions had also been involved during this period. When she thought of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s pretentious act, she was furious. She wished she could show herself and give him a few ps when she was there so that he would wake up. She had never thought that he would do such an outrageous thing. ¡°I thought you were such a good person. I didn¡¯t think that you would resort to such unscrupulous means to achieve your own goals. To think that you would even do something like framing Jossi.¡± Chen Anna knew that Zheng ze¡¯s motive was to persuade Joes toe back. However, she felt that his actions were a little extreme, so she could not ept it.
However, no matter how indignant they were, what could they do? they could not just rush up to Zheng Zeyi and give him a good beating. The damage that joesse had suffered from that beating would always be there. They felt very angry when they thought about thements about joesse on Weibo. If he could do it all over again, would Zheng ze still do the same thing if he knew that it would end up like this? Perhaps they all knew how to. At this moment, she had a change of mind. She felt that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions were very stupid. ¡°Then what should we do next? Should I tell Joes? if I tell Joes and she gets angry, what can I do?¡± Chen Anna was in a dilemma. She didn¡¯t know what to do. She thought for a long time but couldn¡¯t think of anything. She was so anxious that she messed up her hair. In the end, shey on the sofa with her eyes closed. Joes stayed at home. She knew why this knot had always been in her heart. At this time, she was also a little frustrated. In the end, she called Chen Anna, but she did not expect that this woman would not pick up. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you pick up my call at this hour? are you asleep?¡± Joes looked at the missed call and when she heard the words, her heart was filled with worry. She thought for a moment and decided that perhaps he might really have fallen asleep. Hence, she decided to take an afternoon nap. But in the end, he had a nightmare. When he woke up, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his heart was a little scared. From the beginning to the end, he had never had a nightmare. In the dream, those people were chasing him and saying that he was a thief. At this moment, Joes was curled up by the side of the bed. She felt a little wronged in her heart. She had clearly not done anything, so why did she have to be the scapegoat in the end? Suddenly, toot phone rang. She looked at her phone and didn¡¯t expect it to be Chen Anna, so she answered the call in a hurry. Chen Anna never thought that the woman would call her like this. In the end, she woke up directly and called back in a hurry when she saw the call. ¡°I called to ask if you have any other clues about this matter.¡± After she said that, Chen Anna naturally had other clues. She was just hesitating whether she should tell Joes about it. However, in the end, he had already figured it out in his heart. Since Joes wanted to know, then he would tell her. Joes should not be so clueless about the truth. ¡°If you want to know, thene to my house. I¡¯ll tell you myself.¡± If Joes really wanted to know, she would have toe to his house and tell him personally. There was also one more thing that she wanted to tell Joes so that she would not be too agitated.
When Joes heard Anna Chen say that if she wanted to know the truth, she had to go to his house, she was slightly stunned. What kind of matter was this? why did he have toe to his house? in the end, he nodded his head and expressed that he would go to his house. When he arrived at his house, Chen Anna had already told Joes all the truth that she had investigated without hiding anything. Joes¡¯s heart was instantly filled with mixed feelings. ¡°I never thought that he would actually do something like this, and he even pretended to not know and consoled me on the side. It really makes me feel likeughing.¡±
Joes said angrily. However, he did not question Zheng Zeyi. Instead, he had an idea in his heart and that was to leave Zheng Zeyi because he was too terrifying. Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Packing up and leaving

Trantor:549690339

Chen Anna looked at Joes worriedly. Seeing that she was only angry and did not have any other emotions, she felt a little relieved. However, her emotions were quickly lifted again. Did she have some big move up her sleeve? ¡°Sisi, you know what you¡¯re going to do about this,¡± she probed. Joes looked at the scenery in the distance and said,¡±¡±We have to solve the problem from where it started. I¡¯m going to find the people from the origin first.¡± Chen Anna also knew that Joes had her own ns, so she did not say anything more. She only reminded her,¡±be careful. If anything happens, remember to call me. Do whatever you need to do. I¡¯ll be your strongest backing.¡± Joes was very touched. Since she had such a good sister, what was there for her to be afraid of? she chuckled and nodded at Chen Anna. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if there¡¯s anything, I¡¯ll let you know immediately. ¡± After the two of them finished speaking, they parted ways. Joes took a deep breath and hailed a taxi outside, preparing to go find Lin Xiu ¡®er. In the car, she was thinking of ways to make people take the initiative to admit it. Good luck, since she, Lin Xiu ¡®er, dared to scheme against her like this, then she had to bear the consequences. Qiao si si went to Lin Xiu¡¯ er¡¯s workce, and the staff brought Qiao si si over. Lin Xiu ¡®er looked up and was a little surprised to see Jossi. She actually had the mood toe and find her at this time. Could it be that she had discovered something ¡­ Heh, it shouldn¡¯t be. She hade for him. She was his ex-girlfriend. This was an undeniable fact. Since she couldn¡¯t hold back and wanted to look for her, she couldn¡¯t have stage fright. She took off her sunsses and said in a mocking tone,¡±¡±Miss Qiao is still in the mood to look for me.¡± ¡°Of course I have the intention. I also want to have a cup of coffee with you, miss Lin. I believe you won¡¯t refuse, right?¡± Joes¡¯s expression did not reveal anything, and she only extended an invitation to her. ¡°I have time.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er agreed graciously. The assistant next to her didn¡¯t seem to want Lin Xiu¡¯ er to go over. She wanted to say something, but Lin Xiu ¡®er said in advance,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing. It¡¯s fine if I go downstairs with Ms. Qiao for a cup of coffee.¡± After that, the two of them walked away. The assistant stood there, not knowing what to do. She felt that sister Lin shouldn¡¯t have gone down. She had a feeling that something would happen. However, on second thought, she thought that she was just going down for a cup of coffee and would be back soon. Nothing would happen, so she continued to rx. The recording pen in Joes ¡®bag was already prepared. Once she arrived at the coffee shop, she ced her phone on the table. She didn¡¯t immediately enter the main topic, afraid that Lin Xiu¡¯ er would be on guard. She only slowly talked about some old matters while observing her expression.
Moreover, she intentionally or unintentionally looked at Zheng Zeyi. The light in Lin Xiu ¡®er¡¯s eyes became even brighter, and her¡¯ I knew it ¡®expression made Qiao si want to puke. If it were not for the n that was toe, she would not havee here to listen to these disgusting words. After she was done, joesse changed the topic and shifted the topic to the jewelry.¡±Miss Lin and the others framed me for copying the jewelry. I think that¡¯s the reason.¡± Lin Xiu ¡®er, who was feeling proud of herself, could not help but be stunned when she heard this. She was really caught off guard. When the coffee arrived, Joes picked it up and took a sip. She just smiled and looked at her, waiting for her to exin. After Lin Xiu ¡®er recovered from her shock, she looked at the phone that Qiao si had ced on the table: her heart calmed down, and she only said,¡±¡±So what if it¡¯s me? what can you do? I know that all of this has nothing to do with you. It was all nned by me. But who would believe you, even ¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Joes stood up and pretended to be angry.¡±¡±So it¡¯s you. You¡¯re really degrading yourself because of a man. I¡¯ve finally seen your true colors today. Just you wait!¡± After Joes found out the truth and got hold of the evidence, she thought of a way to leave. She did not want to stay here and watch her talk nonsense. Now that she had the recording and was about to go to the police station, she was rather calm. Lin Xiu ¡®er had yet to realize what she had lost because of this conversation. She thought that she had won the battle and was walking back triumphantly. She could not bear to see Joes doing well, so she was easily provoked. The evidence had been collected by Joes without her knowing. Joes did not n to handle the rest herself and wanted to hand them over to the police station. After thinking about it, she took a light breath and stopped a car on the road, heading to the police station. She handed the evidence to the police and said,¡±¡±The evidence is here. I¡¯ll leave it to you to deal with it.¡± The police officer looked at joesse. He did not expect to get the evidence so quickly, and it was even a voice recording. However, there were some things that they could not say, so joesse did not stay in the police station any longer. After this matter was settled, it was time to settle the internal problems. Zheng Zeyi, no matter what, she could not continue to stay there. She could not control herself. When she returned home, the Butler saw Joes and said with a smile,¡±¡±Madam is back. What do you want to eat tonight?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare anything,¡±Joes turned around. After he finished speaking, he walked upstairs. The Butler sensed that something was wrong. Madam was obviously not right today. Did something happen? The moment Joes went upstairs, she went to pack her things. The Butler went up and saw Joes packing her things. He was shocked and quickly said,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter with Madam? is she going on a long journey?¡± ¡°Butler, thank you for taking care of me these past few days, but I have my own things to do. I might not be able to stay. I¡¯ll pack my things first. You can tell Zheng ze when he returns.¡± When the Butler heard this, he immediately said,¡±¡±Madam, what conflict did you have with him again? you¡¯re still young. It¡¯s normal for conflicts to be resolved. Why do you have to pack your luggage? Madam, you¡¯d better put down your luggage first. Wait for young master toe back and have a good talk. Maybe then, things will be resolved.¡± Joes was stunned when she heard this. Conflict ¡­ Really? she had found out about this herself, so how could it be a conflict?¡±Butler, you don¡¯t have to persuade me anymore. I¡¯ve already thought it through. There¡¯s no use for me to continue staying here. It¡¯s not just a conflict anymore. I have to leave now, so you don¡¯t have to persuade me anymore.¡± The Butler became even more anxious when he saw that Joes was not listening to him. It seemed like she was really going to leave this time. Joes took her things away and would not touch anything that was not hers. The Butler could not stop her anymore and she went downstairs smoothly.
When the Butler saw that Qiao sisi had left, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Zheng Zeyi.¡±Young master, what conflict did you have with Madam again? Madam has already packed her things and left. I can¡¯t stay at all. You shoulde back quickly, or Madam will leave.¡± The Butler was worried sick for the two of them.
Chapter 721

Chapter 721: Chapter 722-irritable

Trantor:549690339

Zheng Zeyi was stunned when he received the news. It was impossible for Qiao si to pack her things and leave. The two of them had not quarreled at all recently. They did not even have any unpleasant encounters. Why did she suddenly pack her things and leave? when he thought of this, he quickly noticed what he had done. He was silent for a moment. He didn¡¯t expect her to be so smart and find out about that matter so quickly. When he asked Yang Yue Yue to do this, he didn¡¯t think that it would be discovered so quickly. How could it be discovered so quickly? he couldn¡¯t understand it. Could she really find out so quickly by herself? After the matter was settled, someone would definitely help to investigate.¡±Young master, are you still listening? what should we do about Madam? she¡¯s almost gone. You should make a decision quickly.¡± The Butler was anxious, so it was unrealistic to go down and stop him. He had tried to stop her just now, but the madam was not willing to stay. The conflict was between young people, so he could only try to persuade her. As for anything else, he was powerless. Zheng Zeyi only muttered a soft ¡®hmm¡¯ on the other end, and it was unknown if he had taken it in. The Butler looked at joesse¡¯s back and sighed to himself. His young master did not know how to fight for it either. His emotional intelligence was really too low. Usually, it seemed like the young master really liked the madam. When Jessi¡¯s car drove away, leaving only the back view of the car, the Butler said,¡±¡±Young master, Madam has already left in the car. You¡¯d better act quickly.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zheng ze hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. She was already far away, what else could he do now? when he did that thing back then, he only thought about his initial purpose and did not think about the consequences. Now that it had happened, he didn¡¯t know how to salvage the situation. There was still a pile of documents on his desk. He thought that he would finish his work first and think of a way to find herter. However, when he opened the documents and wanted to sort them out, Jossi¡¯s smile kept appearing in his mind, and he could not get it out of his mind. He could not concentrate on these documents. He closed the documents in frustration, took out his phone, and was about to contact Joes. However, the hand stopped at Joes¡¯s number and could not press it. After a few minutes of stalemate, he finally gave up. Forget it, he probably owed that little girl for the rest of his life.
She had her own reasons for doing all those things. Perhaps Joes did not understand, but she had her own reasons. What could she say if she were to look for her now? She asked herself why she did that, and she said that. Joes would not understand the reason for his actions. Forget it, he would let her calm down for a while. She would understand eventually, and he would return when she thought things through. He was not bad to her either. Perhaps she woulde back one day because she thought of his good deeds. He could only do this now. He patiently dealt with those misceneous folders, and his brows furrowed. He felt that the people he raised under him were all useless, and that it was useless for him to look over such a small matter. He dealt with the tasks one by one, and then threw those that he should not look at aside, waiting for tomorrow¡¯s judgment. By the time everything was settled, it was already past 10 O¡¯ clock in the evening. He had not had dinner yet and felt a little dizzy. He turned off the lights and went downstairs to get into the car to go home. He had relied on Biao the entire way, so he reached home very quickly. He slipped into his slippers and tugged at his tie. There was a light in the house, but it was very cold and empty. There was ack of smell. Zheng Zeyi was inexplicably annoyed. It was really annoying when that woman was not at home. When the Butler saw that Zheng Zeyi had finally returned, he hurried to his side and said,¡±¡±Young master, you¡¯re finally back. Madam said so. Did you have a proper conversation?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t look for her. She had to figure it out on her own. I forced her toe back, but she would still leave in the end. Is there anything to eat at home? I haven¡¯t had dinner yet, and I¡¯m a little hungry.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. ¡°Young master, are you hungry? I¡¯ll get someone to prepare some food. ¡± When the Butler heard that Zheng Zeyi was hungry, he did not say anything else and immediately got someone to prepare food. After all, young master¡¯s health was very important. Everything else had to be dyed. Zheng ze became even more irritated when he heard that he had to get someone to prepare. If that woman was here, he wouldn¡¯t have to wait. He felt even more annoyed when he thought about it. He swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare. I¡¯m not hungry, I was just saying it casually. You should go and rest early, I¡¯ll go back to my room to rest first. ¡± After he finished speaking, he turned around and went upstairs. The Butler wanted to say something, but when he saw his young master¡¯s tired back, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. His young master was already very tired, so he didn¡¯t say anything for now. After all, this was a matter between the two of them, so he couldn¡¯t say anything more. Once Zheng ze returned to his room, he was very frustrated. He took a quick shower and turned off the lights before lying on the bed. He closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, but his stomach suddenly started to feel hungry. He regretted not asking the Butler to prepare some food. It was a little troublesome to get up now, so he nned to go to bed directly. However, whenever he closed his eyes, he would be free and his mind would be filled with that woman. He only fell asleep when it was almost twoo¡¯ clock. When he woke up the next day, he was full of anger. The Butler didn¡¯t dare to say anything. It all depended on what young people like him did. He was old. He didn¡¯t know how the young people were dealing with it now. Were they just holding it in and feeling ufortable? his heart ached too much. Everyone who went to the office seemed to have noticed that their boss was in a bad mood. None of them dared to breathe loudly. They were all scared even when they entered the office, afraid that they would be implicated. For several days in a row, everyone in thepany couldn¡¯t take it anymore. All kinds of small group messages asked them what was wrong with their boss and how long this situation wouldst. They really couldn¡¯t take it anymore.
Zheng ze was dealing with the documents. It was a perfect n, but he had picked out many ws to perfect it. The people below were all miserable. When they were done nitpicking, they took out their phones and looked at it, only to find that it was empty. It¡¯s been so many days and she didn¡¯t even call me. Even if I had a reason for doing that, she didn¡¯t even call me. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He didn¡¯t want to make a phone call. He didn¡¯t want to continue like this. Perhaps he had to take action to make here back faster. As for what to do, he would have to arrange for people to do it. His gaze was on a document, and he was thinking about what to do next. Ultimately, he wanted Jossi to understand him.

If he wanted to get Jessi back, he would need a very powerful assistant and a springboard. The best candidate would be her little sister, who could do both good and bad things. If he wanted her back, he would have to start from her. Once he thought about it, he naturally had to take action. He immediately put the documents on the table aside. Nothing was more important than that woman. Once he decided to do it, nothing could stop him. Coincidentally, the information that he had asked someone to investigate the other day had also arrived. Chen Anna had also been to that hotel. He said that it was impossible for a woman to find out so quickly with her ability alone, and that someone must have helped her behind the scenes. He had been wondering if it was Anna Chen. He was 90% sure that it was her, but there was no evidence. Now, there was evidence. It was partially due to her that Joes was able to discover it so quickly. If it wasn¡¯t for her, Joes would still be at home and none of this would have happened. Zheng ze silently attributed his hatred to Chen Anna and made a note that he would end it with her where it started. It was very easy for Zheng Zeyi to investigate a person. He immediately found Chen Anna¡¯s workce and arranged to have a detailed chat at a coffee shop. Chen Anna being found by Zheng Zeyi was both expected and unexpected. She was probably wondering why he hade so quickly. Since he was here and she wasn¡¯t the one who had done anything wrong, she didn¡¯t dare to go. She immediately went downstairs to meet him. From afar, this honest Zheng Zeyi was really handsome. No matter how he looked at it, he could be seen at a nce in the sea of people. His temperament was really impossible to imitate. She pushed the door open and sat opposite Zheng Zeyi. The coffee had already been ordered. Zheng Zeyi did not intend to beat around the bush and said directly,¡±¡±Where¡¯s Jossi?¡± ¡°How would I know? Jossi should be at Mr. Zheng¡¯s house right now. Mr. Zheng couldn¡¯t find her, so he came to my ce to look for her. That¡¯s really strange.¡± Chen Anna also had the attitude of ying dumb. Who knew that Joes would be at the entrance of the coffee shop. When she saw Chen Anna and Zheng Zeyi sitting together, she felt a little flustered. She was afraid that Zheng Zeyi would threaten Chen Anna. After all, Anna was her friend and it must be because of her that Zheng Zeyi went to look for her. No matter how much she hated Zheng Zeyi and how much she did not want to meet him, she could not ignore it. However, some things had to be settled as soon as possible.
¡°Are you going to y dumb until the end? I know that you found out some things and told sisi. I don¡¯t intend to pursue the matter with you now, but if you continue to do this, I promise I won¡¯t take my anger out on you. I¡¯ll let you have a taste of what it¡¯s like to lose something important.¡± There was a hint of threat in his words. Chen Anna raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi in disbelief. His expression did not change. Chen Anna took a moment to calm down and sneered. What else could he not do when he could plot against his beloved? what was she to him? The moment Joes entered, she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s threat to Chen Anna. She was furious. Wasn¡¯t it enough to control herself? now, she was even dragging her friends into this. He was really getting more and more overboard. She didn¡¯t want to argue with him and stay away from him, but he still wanted to be so stubborn with her. Could it be that he really had to have a big fight before he would stop? The moment Joes entered, she came to the table and said angrily,¡±¡±Zheng Zeyi, that¡¯s enough. Isn¡¯t controlling me enough? now, you¡¯re even threatening my friend. What do you want?¡± When Zheng ze heard the voice that he had been thinking about day and night saying these words to him, he was slightly taken aback. Then, he raised his head. It was her, the person that he had been wanting to see every day. But why was she looking at him with those eyes? He was at a loss for words and didn¡¯t know what to say. Since she was here, his attitude softened a little.¡±I didn¡¯t mean it that way, I just ¡­¡± Chen Anna interrupted him before he could finish,¡±what are you doing here?¡± Chen Anna was wondering why Joes hade here today. She must have bumped into her when she wanted to buy her coffee. It was also a coincidence. ¡°I really don¡¯t mean to threaten you. I just want to ask Ms. Chen a few questions and ask where you are ¡­¡± He paused for a moment and asked the question he wanted to ask the most,¡±when are you going home?¡± When Joes heard thest part of the sentence, sheughed coldly in her heart. As expected, everything was to force her to go back. She was really tired. Zheng ze was getting impatient when the other party did not say anything. He turned to look at Anna Chen and was about to say something, but joesse saw it. If he did not return, Anna would definitely be implicated. She was different from him, and she had already helped him a lot. She should not be implicated by him. If she wanted to go home, so be it. He had already seen through her. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back with you. You can¡¯t cause trouble for Anna again.¡± Joes said. Chen Anna was about to stand up, but Joes pulled her back and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. You can go back to work first. I can handle the rest on my own. You can go back first.¡± Chen Anna wanted to say something but it was toote. Joes pulled Zheng ze away and released him once they were outside. Zheng ze looked at his hand that was still in a daze. Why did he let go ¡­ However, she had already gotten into the car. Zheng Zeyi could only purse his lips. Forget it, it was good that she was back. As for the rest, he would think about itter. No one spoke along the way. Qiao si leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside in a daze. Her heart was filled with disappointment towards Zheng Zeyi. She never knew that she had so little freedom. Everything was being schemed against and she could not go anywhere.
She had her own concerns, so she would never be free. Finally, they reached home. Joes thought about how she had taken out her luggage in a grandiose manner a few days ago, and now she had to take it back. She suddenly felt very tired looking at this home. She was really tired. She felt like a Canary, imprisoned in this gorgeous vi. She could go out but not far. Her feet were always bound and she couldn¡¯t fly far. She had no freedom here and everything was being calcted. It was really tiring. She smiled bitterly. What else could she do? Zheng Zeyi was really disappointing her more and more. She had thought that he had not contacted her for the past few days because he was guilty and wanted to let her go.
He didn¡¯t expect that he was hiding a big move behind the scenes, secretly pressuring Anna. If he didn¡¯t see it today, he didn¡¯t know what would have happened. With Anna¡¯s character, she would have silently endured it. Chapter 723

If you need anything here, just tell me. Just throw away the previous ones. As long as you live well here in the future, you can tell me if you have any requests and I¡¯ll try my best to satisfy you. Satisfy me? isn¡¯t she trying to control herself? how disgusting. In order to get along with her for the past few days, Joes si didn¡¯t stab her at the start. At this moment, the Butler came down and smiled when he saw Joes return. He didn¡¯t seem to be unwilling at all. He only felt that his young master was amazing. He made her unhappy and quickly coaxed her to bring her home. He had always said that it was normal for young people to be noisy and not run away from home. Now, she was back. ¡°Is there anything you¡¯d like to eat now that you¡¯re back? I¡¯ll get the people to make the arrangements.¡± The Butler said kindly. Zheng ze had left after bringing Qiao si back. When he left, he heard the Butler¡¯s words to Qiao si and smiled slightly. Perhaps this was what it felt like to be at home. Qiao sisi did not say anything as she watched Zheng ze leave. She had a problem with Zheng ze and not with the Butler, so she was always polite to the Butler and did not say anything. That was why the Butler did not know what Qiao sisi was feeling. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go back to my room to rest.¡± Joesse went upstairs after she finished speaking. She still had her own things to do. The night came quickly. Zheng Zeyi did not work overtime as usual but returned home early. The Butler was getting someone to prepare dinner. He was surprised to see Zheng Zeyi. He thought of something and looked upstairs. He immediately understood that the young master was still a temperamental person. He clearly liked it very much in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have deliberatelye back to apany the madam for a meal, but he would not admit it. ¡°When the meal is ready, call Madam down for dinner. For now, let her be alone upstairs.¡± Zheng Zeyi wanted to go up, but he thought of something and decided not to. The Butler couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. He only replied ¡°okay¡± to the young master and left. Their young master couldn¡¯t wait any longer. The food had to be prepared quickly. Under the Butler¡¯s urging, the dishes were served on the table. The Butler understood Zheng Zeyi, so he immediately went up to ask Qiao sisi toe down for dinner. Qiao sisi was just hungry and did not refuse, so she went down. The first person she saw when she went down was Zheng Zeyi. He was also sitting in the main seat. Suddenly, she was in no mood to eat. Her good mood was ruined just like that. She thought he was working overtime at thepany and wouldn¡¯te back.
If she had known that he wasing down to eat, she would not havee down.¡±Madam, what are you doing? sit down quickly.¡± The Butler moved a chair aside for Joes to sit down. This time, he could not leave even if he wanted to. He could only bite the bullet and finish the meal. The Butler left tactfully. Only Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi were left in the huge environment. The two of them tacitly did not speak. He only buried his head and ate. He only picked up the food beside him. He did not pick up the food near or far away from him. Zheng ze looked at the food in front of him. It was Joes ¡®favorite food. She was not even willing to pick up the food to avoid him. Zheng Zeyi did not use his own chopsticks. Instead, he used the public chopsticks to pick up the dish that Qiao si usually liked and put it in her bowl. This action made her stunned. What a sin. The two of them had just finished their meal calmly, but he still had to put food on her te, making them both embarrassed. She was still angry and didn¡¯t want to touch the food he gave her, so she silently threw the food outside. Zheng Zeyi saw this action and pursed his lips without batting an eyelid. The eldest young master¡¯s temper did not re up. It was his fault to begin with. If he wanted to make her happy, he naturally had to ept the other party¡¯s bad temper. However, even if he didn¡¯t eat the food that he had picked, he couldn¡¯t just eat the food beside her. He silently ced the dish that she liked next to her and the two of them started eating in silence. Joes couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. ¡°Oh, now you even want to control what I eat. Young master Zheng is really getting more and more into controlling others. What would you do if someone stopped you from controlling them one day? I really don¡¯t dare to think about that. ¡± Naturally, joesse would not let Zheng ze off the hook even if she was upset. She immediately said this in a sarcastic tone. She did not take a single bite of the dish that was ced at the side. Such delicious food was wasted just like that. Joesse stood up after saying this. She then went upstairs after saying that she was full. Zheng ze pursed his lips tightly and held his chopsticks without moving. Indeed, she could not understand what he was doing, and he could not force others to understand, but really ¡­ He couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. He had to quickly pacify her while she was still here. He would deal with his temperter. If it was his fault, he had to admit it. The dinner ended just like that. Both of them were a little unhappy. Joesse went upstairs and thought if she had gone too far and hurt him, but then she thought about Zheng Zeyi¡¯s actions. She felt that what she said was child¡¯s y. She should have said something even worse. Forget it, she didn¡¯t want to think about it. She would take one step at a time and go take a shower to calm herself down. The next day, when Qiao si went down for breakfast, she was a little worried that she would bump into Zheng ze and could not help but say a few more words. In the end, she did not see him when she went down. She could not help but look left and right to make sure that he was not there. However, the Butler smiled and said,¡±young master has already gone to the office. Madam, you don¡¯t have to look for him. Young master asked me to prepare breakfast for you. Madam, please eat it while it¡¯s hot.¡± In the Butler¡¯s eyes, their rtionship must have warmed up again, so he was very happy. Joesse pursed her lips and did not say anything. She walked to the dining table and saw that the food was really sumptuous. She could not finish it all. It was such a waste to have so much food. Joes hastily ate a few mouthfuls and went upstairs again. She wanted to continue drawing her design drafts. She had not drawn in the past few days and should draw. As for other matters, she would put them aside. In the afternoon, the Butler brought a bouquet of flowers and said that Zheng ze had bought it for her as he thought it looked good.
Joesse saw that the Butler was in a difficult position, so she could only ept it and not make things difficult for him. Who knew that she would have to ept even more things after this? Zheng Zeyi had been keeping a low profile these days, giving all sorts of reasons to stuff things in every day. On the surface, he said that he thought it was suitable for her and that it was suitable for her. The Butler did not even feel tired when he sent it over. His face was all smiles. This time, Qiao Si was in a difficult position. What should she do? she felt very upset when she saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression. If she didn¡¯t know about this, the two of them might have been able to get along for a long time. However, she really couldn¡¯t ept this.

Joes received the present from the Butler with mixed feelings. It was as if two viins were fighting, each saying their own things, which made Joes even more annoyed. ¡°Zheng Zeyi is actually a good person. He¡¯s just a little controlling, but he¡¯s not picky about other aspects. Besides, he¡¯s still willing toe and coax you even when you¡¯re so bad-tempered.¡± As soon as she finished her thoughts, the other side also began to think,¡±he¡¯s obviously acting like this because he feels guilty. If it were any other day, I wouldn¡¯t have been wrong to look at that two-faced guy.¡± ¡°Joesse! You can¡¯t be soft-hearted, you can¡¯t be bewitched by his so-called appearance. You must know that he¡¯s a possessive person by nature. He¡¯s unreasonable and has already arranged everything for you. He doesn¡¯t care if you¡¯re willing or not. ¡± ¡°But you abandoned the young master and coaxed yourself meticulously.¡± ¡°He¡¯s just trying to control Jossi better. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± Jossi¡¯s head hurt even more as he continued to argue. She buried her head under the pillow. She would rather he be like how he usually was and not be like this anymore. If this continued, she would go crazy. Perhaps it was because he had given her too much in the end, Qiao si no longer felt anything. It was useless for him, Zheng Zeyi, to use all sorts of tricks to make her happy. He still had to treat him the way he should. She would always bicker with him or give him a Cold War when they were eating. Anyway, the atmosphere was very strange. Zheng Zeyi did not argue with Joes and always tried to make her happy. In the afternoon, Zheng ze rushed back to have lunch with Qiao si as soon as he saw that there were not many things to do in thepany. Qiao Si was already used to this man¡¯s unpredictable whereabouts. As usual, the two of them sat together for lunch. He thought it would be as ordinary as before, but this time, the Butler came in and said,¡±¡±Madam, there¡¯s a man outside who ims to be your father and is looking for you. I don¡¯t know if you know him. ¡± Qiao sisi stood up when she heard this. Her father ¡­ Before she could finish thinking, a figure appeared in front of her. It was a familiar person that she would never forget ¡­ Qiao Feng, her father.
This was indeed his father, but ever since her brother was born, she was no longer his daughter. It was really funny that he came here to acknowledge her. Qiao Feng nced at the man standing next to his daughter. Wasn¡¯t he the young master of a well-known noble family? he must be very rich. In that case, his son could be saved. He had identally gotten his cheap daughter and she had even hooked up with a rich man. How could he sit still? it just so happened that his precious son was in trouble. Now that he was in urgent need of money, he thought of his good daughter. He didn¡¯t raise her for so many years for nothing. It was just so that if there were any difficulties in the future, she would give him money to help. She was also very capable. Without any means, she directly found a rich husband. How could he not be happy? ¡°Sisi, don¡¯t you recognize your father? I know you must have missed me a lot after not seeing me for so long, but there¡¯s a reason why I didn¡¯t want to see you. Look, I¡¯m here to see you now. You¡¯ll always be my good daughter.¡± Joes looked at her father¡¯s hypocritical face. He would never say anything unless there was something that he needed her to do. That was all she could do for them. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. There¡¯s no need to y the emotional card with me.¡± Joes pursed her lips slightly as she said this. She did not finish her sentence, which was even more hurtful and unpleasant, but it was the truth. Qiao Feng didn¡¯t know where to start, so he could only smile dryly.¡±¡±What are you talking about? there must be something wrong if I want to see you. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time and missed you.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± If Qiao si had not experienced those things before, she would have almost believed that he was not up to anything good. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi was still here and she did not want him to interfere. Qiao Feng was also a little guilty, but for the sake of his son, he had to fight for the money even if it meant losing his face.¡±¡±Sisi, your brother is still outside. Why don¡¯t you let him in first and we can have a good chat as a family?¡± Younger brother? The Qiao Lei who had been insulting her? She really didn¡¯t dare to say that they were a family. This so-called family had their own ideas and ns, and they were all calcting what they could get from themselves. They wished they could suck their blood and skin themselves to buy. Father, there¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t really want to see Qiao Lei now, and I believe he doesn¡¯t want to see me, his sister in name. ¡± Qiao Lei didn¡¯t treat her well in the past. He didn¡¯t like her, so how could he want to see her? the best n was to send this family of weirdos away as soon as possible. She didn¡¯t want to see this family¡¯s hypocritical faces. Inparison, Zheng ze looked much more pleasing to the eye. Qiao Fengughed dryly at the side.¡±How could that be? your brother has been missing you at home and has been asking me to bring you back.¡± ¡°No need, father. You said you wanted to see me and missed me. Now that you¡¯ve seen me, you should be able to go back.¡± Qiao sisi said emotionlessly, not afraid of what Qiao Feng would say. ¡°Jossi, what do you mean by this? don¡¯t think that you can do this just because you¡¯re married to a rich man¡¯s son. Qiao Lei is also your brother. Since you¡¯re so open about it, I won¡¯t waste any more time talking to you. ¡± Qiao sisi only looked at Qiao Feng when she saw that the main event was about to begin. She wanted to know what he was trying to get for his stupid son. ¡°Your brother ran into some trouble outside and is in urgent need of money. You¡¯re his sister, so you should help your brother.¡±
Joesughed in anger. She was not like this in the past. She was so nice when she kicked her away. Now, she was his sister. Why did he call her sister whenever he needed her? ¡°Qiao Lei was raised by you guys. To be honest, he¡¯s an existence that I hate more than a stranger. I¡¯m not responsible for anything of his. Father, you don¡¯t have to waste your breath. If you need any money, you can go back and prepare it yourself. I have no feelings for him, and neither do I have any feelings for you.¡± Joes knew that her father would not look for her for no reason, but when he said it himself, she would still feel a trace of sadness and anger in her heart. How many times had this happened since she was young? every time it happened, she would first see if she could help him solve it.
Chapter 725

Chapter 725: The shameless are invincible

Trantor:549690339

Since she was young, she had taken the me for this so-called younger brother of hers so many times. When she grew up, she had kicked him away. Now that she realized that it was still useful, she used those cheap words. Family ties that were even more worthless than grass had tied her down again, and what did he want her to do? ¡°You have to take responsibility for your brother¡¯s matter. I¡¯ve raised you up. Are you that unfilial and can¡¯t tolerate your brother?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether he¡¯ll tolerate me or not. He has never treated me as a sister, so I don¡¯t have to do anything to be responsible for him. Father¡¯s words are a little too heavy. ¡± ¡°You have to help your brother settle it. Your brother owes a huge sum of money. If you¡¯re not willing to help him, then who else can?¡± Qiao Feng became more and more agitated as he spoke, as if Qiao sisi had done something outrageous. Joes was instantly speechless. This clearly had nothing to do with her. When she left, she had already said that the Qiao family had nothing to do with her. Whatever happened had nothing to do with her. Since she was young, Qiao Feng had never valued Qiao sisi. Her status was even lower than that of the servants at home. She would only look for him when she needed him. He had long been disappointed. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He just stood at the side and watched the two of them talk. He wanted to see how joesse would settle it in the end. He would give in to her. He had money and would help her as long as she wanted it. However, if Qiao sisi was not willing, then he would not have to fork out the money. Qiao Feng was still there, talking non-stop, just wanting Qiao sisi to help Qiao Lei pay off his debts. However, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got. She had already agreed that after she left, she would no longer have anything to do with the Qiao family. She could not erase the fact that she valued men over women. He only had his precious son in his heart, so he was willing toe to her for money for his son. She really wanted to see if he would sacrifice himself to help Qiao Lei if he had a conflict with Qiao Lei one day. Qiao Feng had said it a few times, but Qiao sisi remained unmoved. He was a little thirsty, but this evil woman was not moved at all. He could tell from the start that Qiao sisi was a useless piece of trash who did not know how to be filial to him. He stood on the spot and looked at Zheng Zeyi. Since it did not work with Qiao si si, why not start with her husband? The money was with him. Who was Qiao sisi? in the end, she still had to tell Zheng ze.
¡°Ahem, Zheng, you¡¯re sisi¡¯s husband, and Qiao Lei is her brother-inw. You should help sisi with some things.¡± As Qiao Feng spoke, his eyes were fixed on Zheng Zeyi. He just hoped that the other party would just throw a check at him and then leave. To be honest, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that his ount was empty, he didn¡¯t want toe and see this cheap daughter of his. She had to be so humble when she asked for some money. It was her duty to pay. Qiao sisi only came to take it when she needed it. She would not usually ask her for it. She had raised her for so many years, so she should at least give her some money. Qiao sisi did not want to talk anymore. Could she just throw Qiao Feng out? Qiao Feng refused to give up and Qiao Lei was still waiting for him outside. If he did not get the money, he would not be able to live well in the future. In the end, he would have to help others. This must be thest time. Next time, he would not let Qiao Feng gamble again. If he did not put his heart into it, he would go bankrupt. ¡°Lil ¡®Zheng, since you¡¯re married to sisi now, we have to give you some money. It¡¯s not like sisi doesn¡¯t have money to give to us. You¡¯re a rich person, but you¡¯re so stingy, right?¡± Qiao Feng was not embarrassed at all. Joes pursed her lips tightly. She really did not expect her father to be so thick-skinned to say such things. Did he not feel ashamed at all? The Butler was also very embarrassed as he listened. Was this man really Madam¡¯s father? why did he look so strange? were they really father and daughter? ¡°So, what can I do to satisfy you, Mr. Qiao? I think sisi is good like that. It¡¯s not right to say she¡¯s unfilial. ¡± Zheng Zeyi defended Qiao sisi. What a joke, he could not tell anyone about his wife. Moreover, the person in front of him was extremely hypocritical. If he had not investigated some things, he would have been deceived by this appearance. His words were pleasant to hear. ¡°Mr. Zheng, it would be great if you¡¯re willing to help me. You¡¯re sisi¡¯s husband, so it¡¯s only right for you to help her brother-inw. However, I¡¯ll still thank you from the bottom of my heart.¡± That¡¯s weird. Even Joes could not bear to listen to this any longer. How could there be such a shameless person? when she was young, she had still hoped that her father would turn around and look at her. Now, it seemed like she had been a joke when she was young. ¡°Oh? How much do you need? I really don¡¯t know how much I should give, Mr. Qiao can just tell me. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said generously. Qiao sisi looked over subconsciously. Was Zheng Zeyi going to lose his mind and give the money to Qiao Feng now? Qiao Feng hade to ask for money from her, and it would definitely not be a small amount since he was so shameless. If Zheng Zeyi really gave Qiao Feng the money, she did not know how long it would take for her to return the money to Zheng Zeyi. She was not willing to work for Zheng Zeyi for the rest of her life for her cheap brother. In the future, he would still have to hold him back. Qiao Feng did not immediately raise the price when he saw that there was a chance. He said, ¡°It¡¯s great that you can think of this, Zheng. Sisi should learn more from you. If you have time, please teach her. She should also know some of the ways of the world. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re too selfish if you don¡¯t know how to help your brother and family even with such good conditions. You should be more generous as a person. Moreover, the other party is your family. You shouldn¡¯t be stingy. Don¡¯t you agree, little Zheng?¡± Qiao Feng rambled on and on. Joes wanted to sneer when she heard that. If she was the one who asked any of the members of the Joes for money, she would be chased out immediately, insulted, called a money-losing good, and even worse. The more Joes thought about it, the angrier she got. Before Zheng ze could say anything after hearing Qiao Feng¡¯s words, Qiao sisi shouted,¡±¡±Please get out. You¡¯re not wee here. Leave quickly. I won¡¯t give you any more money even if you ask for it. You¡¯re not worthy of it. Don¡¯t talk to me about kinship. Leave. To be honest, I don¡¯t owe the Qiao family anything. Please leave immediately.¡±
Zheng Zeyi did not say anything and allowed joesse to speak. He could not keep her if she wanted to chase him away. Chapter 726

Themotion in the living room had alerted some of the servants. They were all lying on the ground, observing themotion. The most enjoyable thing about doing such work was to have such gossip to eat. They could also discuss the matter while they were doing things. They didn¡¯t understand the life of the rich, and it was a happy thing to know some inside information and share it with others, so they all hid and watched, but their ears were perked up. Not all of the servants were loyal to their master. There were still many snobs among them. Some of them had been unhappy with Qiao sisi for a long time, but they did not show it because of Zheng Zeyi. Now that there was such a melon, they could not wait to know more details. When they saw that Qiao Feng had been chased out, they all looked at Qiao sisi with strange eyes. However, the people involved were immersed in the emotions of Qiao Feng treating them like this and did not take the servants seriously. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. After spending so much time with her, he hade to understand her. Sometimes, it was best if he did not say anything, and let her digest it on her own. Because of what had happened, Joes no longer had any desire to eat. She went straight upstairs without even eating. Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He pursed his lips slightly and ordered the servants to keep the food until Joes was hungry. Then, he would bring it to her. Some of the servants appeared to be submissive on the surface, but in reality, they did not take it to heart at all. They even pouted their lips. Some of them were indignant for Zheng ze, but after he left, the servants could not stop talking. ¡°I thought she was the daughter of a famous family. I didn¡¯t expect her family to be like this. It¡¯s really funny. Dirtyundry shouldn¡¯t be aired in public. But now, what¡¯s the situation? I¡¯m dying ofughter.¡± A well-dressed servant said. She admired Zheng Zeyi a lot. Now that she saw the person she admired being defiled by a good-for-nothing woman, she was furious. Moreover, her looks were not inferior to Qiao si ¡®s. What right did that Joes have to treat the young master like this? she did not know how blessed she was and still continued to act arrogantly. Her actions were disgusting. Now that such a thing had happened, it was already a gift from the young master that he did not chase her out. She still dared to throw a tantrum and not eat. She wanted them to heat it up for her and send it to her after she was done throwing a tantrum? ¡°I¡¯m just dreaming,¡± the servant muttered softly with an indignant expression. The other servants more or less heard it, and some of the more honest ones immediately stayed a few meters away from the servant. It was not good to talk behind someone¡¯s back like this, and it might even bring some trouble because of this mouth.
Therefore, it was best to stay away from anything. Some of them, like the servant, felt that Jossi did not know what was good for her. Now that they heard the servant¡¯s words, they all came over and prepared to badmouth her together. They quickly formed a small group as they packed their things. Then, the group began to talk. The more they talked, the more excited they became. The more reasonable and older people shook their heads when they saw this situation. Some kind people went over to remind him.¡±It¡¯s better not to talk too much in a rich family. That¡¯s the business of the Masters. We just have to do our own things well.¡± ¡°I know, I know,¡± The servant said perfunctorily. The person who advised them knew that they didn¡¯t intend to listen to them. He sighed silently in his heart. It didn¡¯t matter if they wanted to listen or not. It had nothing to do with him. When the young master punished them, they would naturally know how severe it was. How could they nder Madam? it was none of their business. They just had to do their own thing. The group of people surrounded her and said,¡±Did you know? I think that Joes must have done something when she was young. Otherwise, how could a biological father treat his daughter like this? one look and I can tell that something is wrong. There¡¯s definitely something wrong with Joes ¡®character.¡± ¡°Oh my God, if she¡¯s still our Madam even though she¡¯s problematic, that¡¯s too scary. What if young master is infected as well? young master is going to be the heir of the Zheng family in the future. If you ask me, I think that Jossi is a disaster.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She¡¯s still acting all high and mighty now. Our young master is just coaxing her because of the novelty. Let¡¯s see who¡¯ll pay attention to her after a while. That aloof look of hers every day is really disgusting.¡± ¡°Just thinking about her familying here to ask for money for all sorts of reasons and unting their kinship makes me want to puke. She really treats the young master as an ATM. And all of this is because of Jossi.¡± The servants didn¡¯t understand what was going on at all. Each of them thought that they were very powerful, so they only dared to say that behind their backs. If this were real life, they wouldn¡¯t dare to say a word. However, they liked to talk behind people¡¯s backs. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeyi, who was standing behind the door, heard their conversation clearly. He sneered. He really did not know when the servants in his house became so powerful that they could talk about their master¡¯s Affairs as they pleased. Sisi¡¯s choice was her own business. What right did they have to give her orders? to put it bluntly, they were not even worthy of carrying sisi¡¯s shoes. Zheng Zeyi couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He walked out slowly.¡±You guys are really good at judging people. Why don¡¯t I let you handle the Zheng family in the future?¡± The servants were stunned. They turned around and saw that Zheng ze¡¯s face was ashen. Young master had already left, so why was he still here ¡­ Did young master hear everything they had just said? ¡°Young master ¡­ Please don¡¯t misunderstand. We were just joking. We didn¡¯t mean anything else. Young master, please don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I¡¯m just idle. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Zheng Zeyi said very calmly. His tone was also very calm, and he did not look angry. The servants thought that there was hope, so they all said,¡±¡±Yes, yes, yes, we were just casually saying. Young master, we definitely didn¡¯t mean anything else.¡± However, Zheng Zeyi did not listen this time. He only asked someone to call the Butler up.
When those people who had stayed far away saw thismotion, they were secretly d that they didn¡¯t join in the fun. Look, they came here for no reason. It was better to be honest. The Butler was a little aggressive when he was called up. Why were there four servants around? could it be that the young master was dissatisfied with these servants? ¡°These servants are gossiping. How do you think we should deal with them?¡± How could the Butler not understand at a nce? he could tell that these people were not honest. They were talking about what happened this afternoon. How could such a thing be casually discussed?

He had thought that there were a few reasonable people here, but now it seemed that it was simply wishful thinking. Everyone was discussing it and young master heard it. It seemed that these people could not be kept alive. He looked at the people inside. A few of them were very quick in their actions and actions. They shouldn¡¯t have been chased out just because of a discussion. However, there was no other way. Madam¡¯s position in young master¡¯s heart was very important. If he didn¡¯t punish her, Madam would inevitably overthink it when she found out in the future. He could only be ruthless and punish her. He also sent a message to the servants. Although it wasn¡¯t as strict as other ces, there were some things that couldn¡¯t be said casually. Otherwise, they would be severely punished. These people hadn¡¯t been punished for a long time, so they were even more severe. ¡°Butler, you should know what I¡¯m going to do. I¡¯ll deal with it severely. I don¡¯t want to hear anything about sisi being ndered in this house anymore. Sisi is very good here and I don¡¯t need you to tell her what to do. There are some things that you don¡¯t have the right to say.¡± ¡°Then you¡¯re fired. Don¡¯te here anymore.¡± The Butler issued the final notice. The money was not deducted, but this punishment was already very severe. Who would dare to use the servants that the Zheng family had fired? This was a living signboard. He was afraid that he would not be able to find a job for a long time in the future. If he could find a job, it would be the kind that was cool and tiring. It would be difficult to find a light job like this. The servants still wanted to beg for mercy, but Zheng ze was inexplicably annoyed at the thought of them talking about sisi. He immediately ordered his men to throw them out. They were an eyesore even if they stayed. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s punishment had rmed many people, including joesse who was upstairs. She had heard everything that had happened downstairs clearly. It was such a big scene, but the servants were just casually discussing her. Why did Zheng Zeyi treat her like this ¡­ She was at a loss. After dealing with the servants, the sharp-eyed Butler saw Jossi on the stairs and was d that he had just fired her. Madam must be very touched now. Young master, hurry up and light it! His rtionship with the madam had improved in one fell swoop, and he hoped that they would not quarrel again. Zheng Zeyi had also seen Qiao sisi, and he was afraid that she would be influenced by these people and run away from home again, so he had to go up and say a few words to her. When Joes saw Zheng ze, she was a little stunned. Her heart ached and she did not know why she felt so wronged at this moment. The Butler tactfully asked everyone to leave and only the two of them were left in the vi.
For some reason, Qiao sisi¡¯s eyes turned red at this moment. She looked up at Zheng Zeyi, but she did not know what to say. Zheng Zeyi was at a loss as well. He did not say anything, so why did his eyes turn red ¡­ ¡°Zheng Zeyi, do you also think that I¡¯m that kind of person? actually, they¡¯re not wrong ¡­ I ¡­¡± Before Qiao si could finish her sentence, her tears could not help but fall, as if they were free. Zheng ze frowned. It was indeed these people¡¯s fault. The punishment just now was too kind. He nned to go outter and spread the word that no one was allowed to use those gossiping servants. Those people deserved to die. His youngdy should be happy. He could only cry for himself. Those people were not worthy. ¡°No, sisi, you¡¯re not that kind of person to me. I know what kind of person you are, and what others say doesn¡¯t count. I know you very well, and I can understand your sadness.¡± As soon as Zheng Zeyi finished speaking, Qiao si buried herself in his arms and started crying. She felt really wronged. Why was the world so unfair to her? why did everyone have to criticize her? at this moment, she vented all her grievances on Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi did not look down on Qiao sisi and allowed her to lean on Him to vent her emotions. After some time, Qiao sisi was a little tired from crying and kept huping. She got up from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s body in embarrassment. Zheng ze¡¯s suit was stained with tears, and he looked out of ce. Joesse said embarrassedly,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, thank you,¡± At least she had calmed down. Qiao sisi could not cry enough. She had to figure out why Qiao Feng came here at this time. Was it just for money? how much money did her brother borrow from others? ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. I¡¯ll help you investigate. You just have to wait here for the results. In the future, you don¡¯t have to shoulder everything by yourself. I¡¯ll always be your strongest backing.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. Joesse frowned. She was already very embarrassed just now, and now, she had to help her check. This was even worse. Just as she was about to reject him, Zheng Zeyi had already picked up his phone and made a call. ¡°Check on Qiao Lei for me and send all the information to my phone in ten minutes.¡± Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone after giving his instructions. Ten minutes ¡­ Wasn¡¯t that a little too fast? forget it, if he wanted to investigate, then let him. It would take a long time for him to investigate. Now that someone was willing to do it for him, he was more than happy to do so. The message was sent ten minutester, and Zheng ze immediately sent it to joesse. She wanted tough when she saw the first line. Sure enough, he, Qiao Lei, owed them such arge sum of money that the Qiao family couldn¡¯t afford to pay, so they came to find him. His heart was getting colder and colder. What was he still looking forward to? His half-brother was in a huge debt and hade here to avoid the creditor. He did not know how he had found out about his rtionship with Zheng Zeyi, so he wanted to take refuge here. Knowing that Zheng ze was a rich man¡¯s son-inw, she had set her sights on Zheng ze. She felt that the Zheng family was rich and overbearing and would not care about such a small amount of money. She also felt that they would help Qiao Lei, their brother-inw. However, Qiao Feng had miscalcted in the end. They were not on good terms, so naturally, she would not ask Zheng Zeyi to help her pay back the money. In fact, it could not be said that their rtionship was not good, but it waspletely bad. Then, why did she ask Zheng Zeyi for help? When she left the Qiao family, she had already made up her mind to cut off all ties with the Qiao family. Some of the me she had taken on and some of the things she had borne had already paid off the things she owed before, so there was no such thing as owing or not.
He didn¡¯t owe them anything, so he didn¡¯t have to feel guilty. Qiao Feng definitely couldn¡¯t afford to owe them so much money. He wouldn¡¯t stop so quickly if he had his eyes on him. There must be more toe. In order to protect his so-called precious son, he was really willing to do anything. It was useless for him to clear his name. He already owed Zheng ze a debt today. Who knew what kind of trouble Qiao Feng would cause in the future when he came again? Initially, it would have been best for him to leave for a period of time, but Zheng Zeyi was unwilling to let him leave. He only wanted him toe back, so there was nothing he could do. He did not know how many more times the incident today would happen in the future, but he would definitely not be like today.

It was something he shouldn¡¯t have expected. It was funny that she always thought that she was lucky. Now, she should be able to see through it. She knew but Zheng Zeyi didn ¡®t. Perhaps she should tell him about her family situation. Although he said that he believed in her, only he knew what he was thinking in his heart. The things in his family were not something that ordinary people could understand. How could other people know about the annoying things in his family? ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I¡¯ve seen what you just sent me. My brother ¡­ Oh no, Qiao Lei, he¡¯s not my brother. We¡¯re not rted. He owes a huge sum of money. My father came to me for that sum of money. I hope you don¡¯t give them the money. I don¡¯t intend to get involved in this matter ¡­¡± Qiao si paused here and looked at Zheng Zeyi, trying to see what he was thinking from his expression. He felt that she was being cruel. They were clearly family, but not only did she not help them, she even asked outsiders not to help them. He was really vicious. At this moment, she was actually afraid. She was afraid that once Zheng ze misunderstood that she was that kind of person, she would know that what had happened to her was not something that others could easily understand. ¡°I¡¯m not on good terms with Qiao Lei and I hate him. I don¡¯t want you to help him, and there¡¯s no need to ¡­ There were many things that happened before that you didn¡¯t know about. I had my own reasons for everything I did, so I hope you won¡¯t interfere.¡± Zheng Zeyi did not say a word. In the end, he only pursed his lips. He actually knew everything, including what happened to her when she was young. This family was not worthy of sympathy. Sisi was not cruel enough. If it were him, he would have cut off all contact immediately. Everything had nothing to do with him and he did not need to care about what they said. His methods were still too inexperienced. ¡°This is my own business. I really don¡¯t want you to interfere.¡± Qiao sisi was really afraid that he would interfere directly. She did not have enough money to pay Zheng Zeyi back the money she gave Qiao Feng. It could be said that they were not familiar with each other at all. There was no need for him to give her so much money. In the future, it would only be a restraint. She hoped that Zheng ze would stop acting on his own. If he did, she would really hate him. ¡°I know. I don¡¯t care about them, but if they threaten you in any way, you have to tell me immediately. I¡¯ll handle it well, you understand?¡± Zheng Zeyi said. Joes did not reply to his question. The two of them fell silent for a moment before Joes finally said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll take care of this. Please believe me. It won¡¯t affect you in any way.¡± The next day, Qiao sisi did not waste any time. She immediately got Qiao Feng¡¯s phone number and gave him a call, asking him to meet at a cafe. Qiao Feng was also very surprised to receive the call.
However, if someone dared to talk to him, it meant that they were willing to talk. His son was saved, so he naturally had to go. Qiao Lei was at home now and didn¡¯t dare to go out at all. He was itching to go out and gamble. He had been imnted with a ridiculous mindset since he was a child. He did not have to be afraid of anything. Whenever something happened, there would always be Joes to help him clean up the trouble. As a result, he became more and more arrogant towards the end. Now, he owed a lot of money. Originally, his family had no way to deal with it. However, a few days ago, he received a piece of news from somewhere that his cheap sister had actually hooked up with a super rich man. That person was as rich as the rich, so the Qiao family had their eyes on Qiao sisi. Now that Qiao Lei hade back to life, there was someone to help him pay off his debts. What was he afraid of? he should continue gambling. Anyway, she had so much money, so what was wrong with using it for herself? when she was young, her father had spent so much money for her cheap sister. Now, she was only using a little bit of it, which was nothing at all. Moreover, his father would take care of the money. The fact that joesse had asked his father out was the best proof. Without the support of the joesse family, he would be nothing. Helping him was helping herself. Qiao Feng soon arrived at the ce where he had agreed to meet Qiao sisi. Qiao sisi went straight to the point and did not want to waste any more time talking to Qiao Feng.¡±What do you want? I have to pay all the debts. Don¡¯t forget that uncle Qiao Lei¡¯s son isn¡¯t mine. ¡± ¡°My dear daughter, how can I let you pay it back alone? of course, I will help. It¡¯s just that the Qiao family is short of funds now and we need your help. The Zheng family is not an ordinary family.¡± At this point, he nced at Joes. There was no response from the other party. He continued,¡±¡±I know that I owe you a lot these days, but you have to know that it¡¯s not easy for the Qiao family these days. As long as you talk to President Zheng and help the Qiao family, the Qiao family will help you in the future.¡± Joes only wanted tough when she heard this. Could he help her? He wouldn¡¯t use her up, and he would push her away when she waspletely useless. However, she didn¡¯t intend to say it out now. Instead, she said,¡±¡±Then, what does Lord father want me to do?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t ask for much. I just want you to get President Zheng to take out 100 million Yuan to pay off your brother¡¯s debt. In the future, if you need anything, he will definitely help you. This is for the best for both of you.¡± Qiao Feng said shamelessly. 100 million? Qiao sisi almost fainted when she heard the number. She would be shocked if Qiao Feng asked her for five million, but now he was asking for a hundred million. This hundred million was probably more than just a debt. There must be other things. Besides, Qiao Lei didn¡¯t owe that much money. She had checked about 80 million Yuan before. Her father was really greedy to think about so much money. ¡°That¡¯s still a little too much. I can¡¯t fork out that much money at once. I¡¯m simply forcing him. I can¡¯t help him and I can¡¯t fork out that much money. I can¡¯t ask Zheng Zeyi either.¡± ¡°Sisi, it¡¯s okay. If you can¡¯t say it, let father do it. I¡¯ll persuade Mr. Zheng. He¡¯ll definitely agree. If you didn¡¯t chase father away so quickly, the money would have been in our ount by now. I saw through Mr. Zheng¡¯s intention a long time ago. He wants to pay for our family.¡± When Qiao Feng said this, there was actually a hint of resentment in his words. If Qiao sisi had not asked him to leave, the money would have already been transferred to his ount and all his problems would have been solved. ¡°Then I¡¯ll make it clear to you, father. I can¡¯t help Qiao Lei pay back any money. To put it bluntly, I don¡¯t have a good rtionship with him at all. ¡±

Chapter 729: Chapter 730-self-torture

Trantor:549690339

Qiao Feng was stunned. What was this? didn¡¯t he say it nicely just now? did he say something wrong that made Qiao sisi not want to help him? but what he said just now was not too much. It was only an extra 3500 Yuan. Was 3500 Yuan a lot? wasn¡¯t it about the same amount to repay the debt of raising her? he thought that Joes had a conscience, but in the end, she was still an ungrateful wretch. However, he did not count the 100 million. How much was 100 million? he was the only one who dared to say it so bluntly without any shame. If it were someone else, they would have been embarrassed. One had to admit that Qiao Feng was really thick-skinned. ¡°Joesse! If you don¡¯t give me the money, I¡¯ll go to your workce and tell everyone in the world that you¡¯re such a person. Once you¡¯re associated with someone with power, you¡¯ll forget your previous family. ¡± Joes really wanted tough after hearing this. This was the so-called family love. How funny. Had they ever done anything responsible to her since they were young? It was almost as if they had to fend for themselves and pay back the expensive price of 100 million. If they were really good to her when she was young, she might have gone to Zheng ze to ask him to help her poor brother. However, they did not do so at all. How could she help them? If he wanted to go to his workce to cause a scene, then he could do whatever he wanted. When the time came, he would be embarrassed if he said anything. As long as they dared to do it, it was fine. 100 million was a figure that he could not bring himself to mention in front of so many people. There was no fear, only amusement and disappointment. She would definitely be thest time. She would never have any expectations of this family again. If there was expectation, there would be disappointment. She should not have had such emotions a long time ago. ¡°Father, do you think that the things I¡¯ve received since I was young are worth showing off? If that¡¯s the case, father can let everyone know that you¡¯re shameless. Then I, your so-called daughter, can also be abandoned. ¡± Qiao sisi said sarcastically. Now, if she were to think carefully about the times when Qiao Feng was good to her when she was young, she would almost not be able to find it. He only persuaded her nicely because he wanted her to take the me for Qiao Lei. Qiao Feng was also embarrassed by Qiao sisi¡¯s words. He thought about it and realized that it was true. He had never cared much about this daughter of his since she was young.
Seeing that Qiao Feng did not speak, Qiao sisi said,¡±¡±This time, I won¡¯t help Qiao Lei no matter what. He can do whatever he wants. He owes the debt, so father can just ignore him.¡± Qiao sisi heaved a sigh of relief after saying this. In fact, Qiao Lei dared to be so crazy because Qiao Feng spoiled him behind his back and said that it was fine. Everything had turned out this way because of him. She could still imagine that Qiao Lei was not afraid at all at home. On the contrary, he felt proud because Qiao Feng had already stepped in to solve it. But this time, how could she solve it if she did not want to help him? After saying this, she left in a hurry. Qiao Feng was only stunned for a few seconds before he caught up with her.¡±Sisi, wait a minute. Let¡¯s talk things over.¡± Qiao Feng still wanted to have a good chat with Qiao sisi. Since threats didn¡¯t work, they could only have a good chat. The family really didn¡¯t have that much money to pay off Qiao Lei¡¯s debts. Even if they had, they couldn¡¯t bear to part with it. After all, the family business was so long-standing. If they pawned it all, how would the Qiao family survive and develop in the future? However, just as he was about to give chase, a bicycle came over. It couldn¡¯t stop in time and knocked Qiao Feng over. He fell badly and his expression changed. Qiao sisi only turned back to take a look and did not pay much attention to him. She did not even feel a ripple in her heart. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Qiao Feng was using his emotions to get a bicycle to bring her down, so that she would have sympathy for him. However, he would not be soft-hearted now. He did not want to suffer at all. When he looked back for thest time, Qiao Feng thought that he still had a chance. He endured the pain and stood up. He thought to himself that the pain was worth it. At least he made her stay. Otherwise, he didn¡¯t know where to go to find her. But before he could rejoice, Jossi turned around and left without looking back. She left just like that, leaving Qiao Feng alone, not knowing what to do. His leg was still hurting because he had been dragged down. This Qiao sisi was really as cheap as her mother. He should have strangled her to death when she was born. When she saw that she had fallen, she didn¡¯t evene over to help her up and just left. She should be d that she had never treated her well before. Everything she had done before was right. She waspletely useless. She could have taken out a hundred million, but she was unwilling to. ¡°What¡¯s the use of such a person?¡± Qiao Feng cursed viciously in his heart as he looked at Qiao sisi¡¯s retreating back. Others did not know that they were father and daughter and thought that they were enemies. Qiao sisi got on the car and left. Her mind was filled with the moment when Qiao Feng was knocked down by the bicycle. The person she hired was really helpful. There was no such coincidence in this world that she could just hit Qiao Feng and not her. He had put in a lot of effort for his precious son, Qiao Lei, and that was all he could do. Qiao sisi, from now on, you¡¯re no longer a part of the Qiao family, you know that? you have to be more determined. She was in disbelief that she had wanted to go back and help Qiao Feng up just now. Could it be that she was not disappointed enough and wanted to do it again ¡­ She was really tired. This time, the trick of injuring herself was very real, but she just did not feel the pain anymore. If he didn¡¯t want the so-called family love, nothing could restrain him. Qiao Feng was still cursing at the same spot. The person on the bicycle had taken someone else¡¯s money and was about to apologize, but when he saw Qiao Feng¡¯s expression, he didn¡¯t feel guilty at all. Even if she didn¡¯t deliberately hit him, someone else would have done it on purpose. It was so annoying to see her. After thinking about it, she rode away on her bike. Qiao Feng was so angry that he started cursing.
Yang Yue Yue was watching from afar, secretly observing everything that was happening. This joesse had changed so quickly. Her heart had already hardened, and nothing could stop her from advancing. How annoying. Qiao Feng was such a useless pawn. Initially, he thought that he could make Qiao sisi unhappy. Who knew that he did not seem to care about him at all. What a waste of his time. He even caused him to think of ways to provoke him and tell him the information. What a waste of time. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have wasted his energy. It would have been more useful to do it himself.
Chapter 730

Chapter 730: A myriad of thoughts

Trantor:549690339

Yang Yue Yue¡¯s face carried a very evil smile. He looked at everything in front of him, and thus, he thought in his heart. ¡°Joesse, Oh joesse, you¡¯re really afraid of everything here.¡± If Joes was not afraid of everything here, why would she run faster than this rabbit? she did not even care about her father being knocked down by this bicycle. A gentle breeze blew over, lifting Yang Yue Yue¡¯s hair. He raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes filled with thoughts. No matter what would happen next, since some things had already happened, she would definitely do what she should do. Furthermore, she would definitely let Jossi know how powerful she was. She would definitely be able to obtain what she wanted through other means. Joes ¡®father was already squatting there all alone. He had never expected that he would be so unlucky today. He would also be knocked over by the bicycle, but the owner of the bicycle had already left. He raised his head and looked in front of him. There was no one in front of him. He was the only one there. He had been thinking about it all this time. What kind of sin had hemitted these days? how did things actually develop to such an extent? Therefore, they all felt a little bitter in their hearts. Now, he was doing pretty well. Even Joes was not willing to pay attention to him. If he was not willing to pay attention to him, where could he go to find help? He had a different expression on his face, and his heart felt a little bitter. He clenched his hand tightly, but in the end, he could only let go and sigh.
Yang Yue Yue looked at the scene in front of her. Although she did not achieve her goal, she had at least confirmed her thoughts. The purpose of his n to crash into Joes ¡®father¡¯s bicycle was actually very simple. He just wanted to verify whether his thoughts were true or not. Now, it seemed like it was true. ¡°Ha, I didn¡¯t expect it to be true. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to think about what I should do next to not let you down.¡± She had already investigated everything about Joes before this, because to Yang Yue Yue, she only wanted to destroy Joes. As long as he could destroy jorsi, he would be able to obtain everything he wanted. No one would be able to be an obstacle on his path. Moreover, she could not stand Qiao SI¡¯s actions. If possible, Yang Yue Yue wanted to tear Qiao si into a thousand pieces so that she would no longer exist in this world. ording to his investigation, it seemed that Joes also had a father who valued men over women, and this father only cared about Joes¡¯s younger brother from the beginning. However, her father did not care about joesse at all. For some reason, when he found out about this, Yang Yue Yue actually broke out in a cold sweat for joesse. He thought that joesse must be feeling very sad to live in such a family. Fortunately, his father was not such a person. If his father was also such a person, he thought that he would be full of hatred for his father. They were both her children, so why did he have to value his own son so much? Not only did Joes have a father who valued her son over her daughter, but she also had a younger brother who gambled. It was said that this person had been gambling all this while, and his enemies had alreadye looking for him. They had been urging his younger brother to return the money. Her father¡¯s motive for always looking for Joes was very simple. He wanted to ask Joes for money to pay off his brother¡¯s debt. She believed that no one would be able to stand it if he kept doing this day after day, year after year. By the time Yang Yue Yue had investigated everything thoroughly, she still felt that Jossi was rather pitiful. However, no matter how pitiful she was, she should not have gone against her. If this person didn¡¯t want to go against him, then why would he bother with him? he could only me himself for his own sins. ¡°If you didn¡¯t go against me, perhaps I would still feel sorry for you. Unfortunately, you went against me, so you can¡¯t me me for being cruel to you.¡± Therefore, at this time, they seriously thought about it in their minds. No matter what, some things had already happened. Since it had already happened, they could only take one step at a time. However, no matter what, he had already made up his mind. This determination was to deal with this Joes and let her know how powerful he was so that she would never dare to go against him again. However, yang Yueyue felt that one of the things he had to do was to discuss something with joesse¡¯s father. That was because the thing that joesse¡¯s father wanted the most right now was money. Moreover, in this world, there was nothing that money couldn¡¯t solve. As long as he had the money, anything could be solved. Therefore, yang Yueyue thought that perhaps he could use the money to tempt someone.
Furthermore, he already had a n in his heart. This n couldpletely destroy Joes and make it so that Joes would never appear in this world again. In that case, no one would be able topete with them. Thinking of this, they were very happy. At this moment, joesse did not know what Yang Yue Yue was thinking. She did not know what this person was thinking. However, the most important thing for her now was to escape from this ce as soon as possible. Then, she would be able to stay away from her father and not be pestered by her father anymore. At the thought of her father pestering her, she was furious.
He couldn¡¯t wait to teach his father a lesson right now so that his father would never dare to follow him again. He left the ce in a hurry, leaving some things behind. To Joes, the most important thing now was to escape from her father. Chapter 731

Yang Yue Yue saw that her father had been sitting there the whole time, so she sighed helplessly in her heart. No matter what, it had already happened. In that case, he would go and help his father up. As long as the two of them had a good rtionship, wouldn¡¯t it be easy to do anything in the future? Joes ¡®father had been sitting there the entire time, his eyes filled with disbelief. He did not know what to do at all. After all, his son had already owed so much money. As the man¡¯s father, he would definitely try his best to return the money to him. After all, he only had one son. Therefore, he had been thinking about what he should do next to help his son. Therefore, he had been thinking about it in his heart. However, he did not expect that after thinking for a long time, he could note up with any solution in the end. He did not know what he could do to help his son. Therefore, at this moment, their hearts were filled with some chaotic thoughts. However, even if they had some flustered thoughts, what could they do? Team one¡¯s father had been standing there the whole time, but he suddenly felt as if someone had alreadye to him. When he looked up, he didn¡¯t expect to see a woman in gorgeous clothes standing in front of him. Therefore, he was a little puzzled and didn¡¯t know why this woman was here. ¡°Who are you and why are you here?¡± Joes ¡®father raised his guard when he heard this. He was wary that this woman in front of him would harm him. When Yang Yue Yue heard this, she didn¡¯t think much of it and just stood there quietly. With that same smile in his eyes, he walked up to Joes ¡®father and personally helped him up. Joes¡¯ father was stunned at that moment.
They had never thought that the woman in front of them would actually help them up. They had some doubts in their hearts, but even if they had some doubts, what could they do? ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to know who I am. At least I won¡¯t harm you, so you can rest assured.¡± After she said that, Jossi¡¯s father was at a loss for words. He did not know why this person would suddenly say that and would not harm him. What was the reason for this? ¡°Thank you for helping me up.¡± Joesse¡¯s father also said this very seriously. When he finished, Yang Yue Yue shook her head, indicating that it was nothing. She just saw him sitting alone on the street, so she came over to help him. ¡°I¡¯vee all the way here to discuss something with you. I think you¡¯ll be very interested in it. ¡± After Joes ¡®father heard this, he kept looking at this person. He really wanted to know what he was interested in. ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell me what you want to talk to me about?¡± Qiao si SI¡¯s father also wanted to know what Yang Yue Yue was nning to say to him. Hence, he kept looking at yang Yuyu, wanting to know what Yang Yue Yue was nning to say to him next. ¡°Actually, I can help you pay off your son¡¯s loan. I think you¡¯ve always wanted someone to pay off your son¡¯s loan. After all, your son owes a lot of money outside. You know that.¡± After she said that, Joes ¡®father was stunned. He had never thought that this woman would know that his son had owed a lot of loans outside. Indeed, his son had owed a lot of loans outside, and he had hoped that someone would pay it for his son. However, the only person he could rely on was Joes. Compared to them, Joes had more money. Therefore, it was only because of Joes that he was able to save his younger brother. However, he did not expect that even Joes would disagree with him. ¡°You¡¯re really willing to pay off the loan for my son? are you kidding me? After all, the amount of money we owe is quite arge sum. ¡± When Yang Yue Yue heard that the amount of money she owed was a huge sum, she burst outughing. To her, this money was not a big deal. Wasn¡¯t it just a small amount of money? ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that I can help your son pay off the loan. You don¡¯t have to worry too much. Since I¡¯ve already said so, I can definitely help your son pay off the loan.¡± After she said that, Joes¡¯s father¡¯s eyes lit up. He had never thought that this woman would be able to help his son pay the money, so he immediately agreed. But on second thought, there must be a reason for it. If there was no reason, why would he help her to get a loan for her son? ¡°If you¡¯re going to pay off my son¡¯s loan, there should be a price, right? tell me what the price is, and I¡¯ll see if I can agree to it.¡±
Yang Yue Yue had been waiting for these words. When she heard what Joes ¡®father said, she immediately told Joes¡¯ father that if he worked with her to kill Joes, she would give him a huge sum of money. By then, he would be a rich man and would no longer beg anyone. When Joes ¡®father heard this, he was stunned. He never thought that Yang Yue Yue would actually ask him to kill his own daughter. How could that be? No matter what, to Joes ¡®father, Joes was still his daughter. The two of them were blood-rted, so how could he kill her just like that? Yang Yue Yue saw that Joes ¡®father was hesitating. She took out the card in her hand and handed it to Joes¡¯ father without hesitation.
¡°There¡¯s only 100000 Yuan in this card. I think it should be enough to solve your urgent needs.¡± The moment Joes ¡®father heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately agreed to this matter. However, Joes waspletely unaware of all this. Chapter 732

Yang Yue Yue already had this n in mind, and his n was to set it for the dinner next week. Since he was going to get rid of Jessi, he would have to do his job well. A gentle breeze blew over, stirring someone¡¯s thoughts. Yang Yue Yue raised her head to look at the sky. The sky outside was very blue. However, he was also looking forward to what the world would be like without Joes. When he thought of this, his lips curled into a smile. If Joes had not provoked him, perhaps he would have let her off. Unfortunately, he could only me himself for provoking him. Therefore, he had brought this upon himself. No matter what would happen next, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s goal was simple. She had to deal with Joes and make her disappear from this world. It would be best if there was no more Joes in the future. Time passed by the second and minute, and soon, a week had passed. Joes had been in her room all this time, picking up her phone. Looking at the call history, he had some doubts in his heart. As Joes ¡®father had not given her any calls over the past few days, nor did hee to harass her, Joes could not help but feel a little suspicious. If it was in the past, this man would havee to look for her a long time ago. However, she did not expect that he would note looking for Joes after a week. Joes could not help but feel extremely puzzled. However, no matter how confused she was, there was nothing she could do. ¡°Doesn¡¯t this person usuallye to me? It¡¯s already been a week, why hasn¡¯t this persone to find me yet? did something happen?¡± For some reason, when Joes thought of this, she felt a little worried in her heart. However, on second thought, what did it have to do with her father¡¯s situation? After all, he was able to get to where he was today because of his own evil. If he had not done such a thing, he would not have been so pampered and spoiled to his so-called brother.
Perhaps his younger brother would not have done so many excessive things and still owed a huge debt. He could only me himself for being too pampered and spoiled, which led to this incident. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi also saw that joesse had been standing there the whole time as if she was thinking about something. Thus, Zheng Zeyi had some doubts in his heart. He did not know why this little fellow was standing there for no reason, nor did he know what kind of trouble she had encountered. However, he suddenly recalled that there was a party that he needed Joes to attend with him tonight. Hence, he walked over to Joes ¡®side. ¡°Right, right. I wanted to tell you something. I think you¡¯ll be very interested in it.¡± After she finished speaking, Qiao si also turned around to look at Zheng Zeyi. She did not know what was going on, but for some reason, she was looking forward to it. She did not know what Zheng Zeyi wanted to say to her. Therefore, she had been watching Zheng Zeyi. At thest moment, Zheng Zeyi told Qiao SI that there was a dinner party that she needed Qiao si to attend with her. She was not sure if Qiao Si was willing to go with Zheng ze. When Qiao si heard this, she looked up and saw Zheng ze¡¯s eyes filled with thoughts. She saw the look of anticipation in his eyes and knew that Zheng ze probably wanted her to agree to his request and attend the party with him. Therefore, at thest moment, they had already agreed to it. Since Zheng ze wanted them to attend, they would just go with him. It was just a party, right? He didn¡¯t know why, but his heart was filled with anticipation. He really wanted to know what would happen at this G. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll go to the party with you. But I should hurry and pick out a dress for the party, or I¡¯ll embarrass you.¡± After he said this, Zheng Zeyi also nodded his head. In the end, he let joesse choose a dress. When joesse put on the dress, Zheng Zeyi felt that he was sessful, and he was already stunned. He had never thought that Qiao sisi would be so beautiful. He thought about how Qiao sisi would wear this dress to the party. It would definitely attract a lot of attention, but even if it did, Joes would belong to him. Others would simply be delusional. After that, the two of them had also gone to attend the party together. When they arrived, everyone¡¯s eyes were already on Joes. No one had expected that Joes ¡®dress would look so good. Therefore, they had the same expression in their eyes at that moment. ¡°Oh my God, I feel like this person is the princess that walked out of thisic.¡± After one of them said this, the other people nodded one after another. The head indeed looked like that. This person looked like he was indeed from thisic. The person beside the princess was like the Prince in thisic. The two of them looked verypatible. After that, there were also people who wanted to strike up a conversation with Qiao si si, but they were all rejected by Zheng Zeyi. This was because the real Zheng Zeyi was right next to her, and there were still people who dared to strike up a conversation with Qiao si. It was simply a fool¡¯s dream.
Yang Yue Yue and Qiao si SI¡¯s father had been standing in the same backstage all this while. Their purpose was simple, and that was to deal with Qiao si si. In the end, he also told Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father how to do thister.

Yang Yue Yue was also one of the most beautiful women in the world, and these people had been looking at him the whole time. No one hade to look after her ever since Joes arrived. Therefore, he felt extremely unbnced in his heart. He could not wait to get rid of this Joes at this moment. If he did that, he would feel much happier. ¡°How good would it be if you could just disappear from my sight right now?¡± Yang Yue Yue had such a thought in her heart. Furthermore, Yang Yue Yue would definitely own many things if Joes si had not appeared in this world and she was alone. The people here were all saying these things, and their eyes were all following Joes, so Joes was extremely dazzling at this moment. When Yang Yue Yue saw this, she felt extremely disgruntled. After all, some things belonged to her, so why was joesse able to get them? Furthermore, he was no longer weed by this person. Everyone had gone to look for Jossi, and he was like a non-existent person. If Joes was not here at this moment, then he would definitely be one of them, and they would alle and pay attention to him. But now, because of Joes, no one paid any attention to him. There was also an empty space in front of him. He was wearing the same dress and holding a ss of red wine in his hand. He was leaning against the wall and looking at Joes coldly. At this moment, Joes was also standing there. She was very happy to see these people standing in front of her and even talking to her. Previously, his father had given him too much pressure, but now that he had met these people, he no longer felt that pressure. Instead, he felt very happy.
¡°Thank you, Zheng Zeyi.¡± Qiao si quietly said this in her heart, then looked at Zheng Zeyi. When Zheng Zeyi saw Qiao SI¡¯s expression, he was a little confused and did not know what Qiao si meant. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zheng Zeyi could not help but blurt out this sentence because he did not know why joesse would look at him in such a way. Joes shook her head and indicated that nothing had happened, so Zheng Zeyi did not have to worry too much. When Yang Yue Yue saw Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si standing there happily, she felt very sad. Why were the two of them standing there happily and even looked like a match made in heaven? Yang Yue Yue was so angry that she directly strode forward like a shooting star. She even identally stepped on something like this, and he would kick it. However, at this time, he came to the stairway for a simple purpose. He just wanted to catch his breath because it was too stuffy in there. Furthermore, she also saw Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi showing off their love for each other. Of course, she was very angry. If there wasn¡¯t this Joes here, then he would definitely be a dazzling person. Moreover, everyone would revolve around him and not this Joes. When he thought of how these people would revolve around this Joes ¡­ Yang Yue Yue¡¯s heart was filled with extreme injustice. She could not wait to teach this joesse a good lesson right now and let her know how strong she was. However, no matter what he did, there was no way to change anything now. A cool breeze blew over. It was unknown whose thoughts it was blowing, but they knew that the atmosphere in the wine puppet gathering had be a little strange. These people were all dancing in pairs, but Yang Yue Yue was standing there alone, holding a ss of red wine in her hand. At this moment, a person suddenly walked in front of her. Yang Yue Yue had thought that this person had walked up to her to invite her to dance, but she did not expect that he would walk past her. He walked in front of Joes and clinked his ss with hers. Zheng Zeyi was furious as he watched the person in front of him snatch the ss from Joes¡¯s hand and drink it in one go. ¡°You have to be clear about one thing. I¡¯m the husband of this youngdy. What are you trying to do by clinking sses with my wife in front of me?¡± Zheng Zeyi had already said this without any hesitation and had even surrounded joesse behind him.
The person in front of him felt a little embarrassed for no reason, so he nced to his left and right at thest moment. In the end, they had no choice but to leave this ce and continue to stay here. Were they going to be the third wheel here? He had no interest in being a third wheel here. Therefore, at thest moment, they ran away very quickly. If they did not run away, he thought that he would be swallowed by Zheng Zeyiter. After all, he had clearly seen the look in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes. After Yang Yue Yue saw the scene in front of her, her heart was of course very unbnced. Thus, she walked to the stairs in a somewhat angry manner.
However, he did not expect to see someone who looked like Joes at this moment. As he was too angry, he thought that this person was Joes, so he reached out his hand and gave her a light push. Yang Yue Yue didn¡¯t expect that at this moment, this person would also directly roll down the stairs, and his head would hit the wall. Yang Yue Yue suddenly regained her senses. Yang Yue Yue¡¯s heart was also a little flustered. She was very worried as she walked here and there. She had never thought that it would be like this. What was she thinking? At this moment, he had intended to call Joes ¡®father over to take the me for him. However, he did not expect that Joes¡¯ father would have already left. How could he take the me for him?

Qiao Feng also had this incident, so Qiao SI¡¯s father left immediately. If he didn¡¯t leave soon, he might not be able to see his son. When Yang Yue Yue heard that Qiao si SI¡¯s father had left because of Qiao Feng, she could not help but curse Qiao si SI¡¯s brother in her heart. If Qiao si SI¡¯s brother had not done all these things, perhaps her father would not have left. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. But now that he had already killed this person, he couldn¡¯t just stay here forever. If someone found outter, wouldn¡¯t he be finished? Therefore, at this time, she had always been a little conflicted. However, no matter how conflicted she was now, she had no way to turn back time. After seeing this person, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s eyes widened. She took a few steps back, not knowing what to do next. If he were to leave just like that, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Besides, there were still some fingerprints on it. Therefore, in the end, he had already gone to the scene to clean up and take away all his things. The purpose was to not arouse any suspicion. She still had such a good age. If she were to go to this prison like this, wouldn¡¯t it be a pity? therefore, no matter what, she must do her best and not go to that prison. ¡°If you want to me someone, you can only me Joes. You can¡¯t me me. If it wasn¡¯t for Joes, you probably wouldn¡¯t have died.¡± After Yang Yue Yue had destroyed everything in the area, she left the ce as quickly as she could at this final moment. After he left the ce, he quickly went to the toilet. In fact, he was washing his hands. His mind was filled with the shadow of that person. However, at this time, the party was still going on sessfully. A person happened to pass by. When he saw the person below, he immediately shouted.
¡°Ah,¡± he said. The woman¡¯s shout sessfully attracted a group of people. After this group of people arrived, they were dumbfounded every minute. They had never thought that this would happen. ¡°Oh my God, what¡¯s going on? Why is there a person lying down there? and is he still alive?¡± One of the men, who looked to be in his twenties, said. The man had some doubts in his heart. He was clearly fine just now, so why was there suddenly someone? The relevant personnel also came here to take a look at the man lying on the ground. They reached out their hands to touch the breath, but they didn¡¯t expect that there was no breath at all. They were all stunned. They had never thought that this man would die like this. Now that he was dead, the party could not continue. Joes did not expect that this person would die like this. She thought that the g would be interesting, but she did not expect such a horrifying thing to happen. He kept thinking about these things in his mind. After seeing that person¡¯s terrifying face, he hugged Zheng Zeyi tightly. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi could already feel how terrifying this joesse was. Hence, he hugged her tightly and patted her back gently. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much. I¡¯m still here. As long as I¡¯m here, nothing will happen. You just have to stay here.¡± The scene was very chaotic. Some relevant personnel had arrived and surrounded the ce. After they surrounded the ce, the host started to speak while trembling on the stage. ¡°Because of what happened, we don¡¯t have to continue the party tonight.¡± Some people also felt that they were a little unlucky. They hade here in a very good mood to attend such a party, but they did not expect to encounter such a thing at the end. Therefore, these people also felt very angry. Moreover, they all wanted to know who killed this person because some people in the underworld often did such things, so they naturally didn¡¯t panic. In the end, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi had returned to the house. Unexpectedly, Qiao sisi had been feeling uneasy the whole time, as if something had happened. When Zheng Zeyi saw Qiao sisi¡¯s current state, he was also a little puzzled. ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re a little uneasy? did you encounter some difficulty? If you encounter any problems, you can tell me directly. As long as I can help you solve it, I will definitely help you. ¡± When joesse heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, she started to think about the position of the person who was in trouble. That position seemed to be where she was standing.
At the thought of this, could it be that they were nning to harm him? However, at thest moment, they only caught a scapegoat. It was possible that the person who pushed him thought that he had pushed him down just because he had said so. When she saw the person who had pushed her down, she realized that the person she had pushed down was not her. When she suddenly thought of this, Joes had goosebumps. When he was in the high temperature, it was because of this that he left. He didn¡¯t expect that this person would be there after he left. If someone wanted to hurt that person, they should have been able to hurt him before. Why did they have to be in that position to hurt him?
Therefore, he felt that this matter was definitely directed at him. If it wasn¡¯t directed at him, who else could it be? Chapter 735

Just now, Joes seemed to have seen her father¡¯s figure. Zheng ze saw that Qiao si si was feeling a little uneasy, so he reached out his hand to shake her. Unexpectedly, Qiao si still had note back to her senses. He could not help but have some doubts in his heart. Could it be that the scene just now had frightened her? ¡°Were you shocked by the scene just now?¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi could not help but ask Joes why she seemed to be distracted at this moment. Her eyes were also a little confused. Joes had already regained her senses in a hurry. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just thinking that it¡¯s rted to the g. I don¡¯t know why, but I feel like there¡¯s something fishy about this. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this sentence, he had other thoughts in his mind. ¡°How could it be rted to you? What¡¯s in your little head all day long?¡± After looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, a myriad of thoughts ran through Qiao SI¡¯s mind, even though Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words were only meant tofort her. However, for some reason, Jossi felt a little worried in her heart. She had a feeling that someone was going against her in the dark, but she did not know who it was. This was what puzzled her. ¡°It¡¯s not about whether I¡¯m overthinking it or not. I just feel like this has something to do with me, you know?¡± That was because Joes felt that she had already seen her father¡¯s figure at that time. If she had seen her father¡¯s figure, then her father must have been present at the scene.
¡°Let me be alone here for a while. You go and do your things. After I¡¯ve thought about it, I¡¯ll naturallye to find you.¡± After Zheng ze heard what joesse said, he did not know why joesse looked so worried. It was obvious that this had nothing to do with him at all. In the end, he had to tire himself out. Hence, he kept thinking about what he should do to make Joes less tired. In the end, Zheng Zeyi went to make a cup of coffee for Joes. He gently ced the cup of coffee next to Joes and said seriously, ¡°No matter what happens next, I¡¯ll always be by your side. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. As long as it¡¯s within my means, I¡¯ll do it for you.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes was very touched. However, no matter how touched she was, she was still a little worried. ¡°I know that what you said is for my own good, but there are some things that I still need to think about. Once I think about it, everything will be clear. You can go and do your own things.¡± Zheng ze could only nod his head in the end when he saw that joesse had already said that. He left the ce just like that. After he left, joesse was the only one left. Joes was thinking seriously in her mind. For such arge-scale banquet, how could she have entered without this invitation? therefore, she could only enter after she had this invitation. The fact that his father coulde to such arge-scale party meant that someone must have brought his father here. If no one had brought his father here, then how could his father enter? he would probably have been driven away by the time he reached the gate. The only thing he wanted to know was who that person was and why he had brought his father in. What was his purpose? Since these people had brought his father in, why didn¡¯t theye to find trouble with him? Because he was also in this party. If it was in the past, they would have probablye looking for trouble with her. However, they did note looking for trouble at all tonight. This was something that made Joes feel very suspicious. However, no matter how suspicious she was, what could she do? Zheng Zeyi had been standing outside the door the entire time. He looked at Joes and wanted to know what she was thinking about right now. If he thought too much, it would only cause him more trouble. He saw that Joes shook her head after thinking for a while. Zheng ze felt a headacheing on. Didn¡¯t Joes feel a little headache with this head? In the end, they also made a cup of tea for Joes in order to rx her. They carried the cup of tea to her and gently ced it beside her. Joes raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi. ¡°I think I saw my father¡¯s figure tonight, but in the past, my father would havee to find me. But tonight, my father didn¡¯te to find me. Do you know that?¡±
Zheng Zeyi knew at that moment. No wonder joesse had been feeling uneasy ever since she had returned. It was because of this. ¡°Your father might have found his conscience, so he didn¡¯te to see you tonight. But isn¡¯t it good that he didn¡¯te to see you? I¡¯m sure this person will find it annoying to be pestered by someone all day long. ¡± When Qiao si heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, she felt that what he said made sense. Hence, she did not think too much about the final benefits. Since Zheng Zeyi had already said so, why should she think so much about it? However, when Joes thought about how that person was already dead and how that person was standing in the same position as her, she felt that something was amiss.
Could it be that Joes ¡®father had recently decided to push Joes down, but he had not expected that he would have already pushed this person out, and thus sessfully had this scapegoat? When she thought of this, Joes was actually a little unwilling to believe it. No matter what, they were rted by blood. Joes had also been forcing herself to stop thinking about these things. However, even though she had forced herself to stop thinking about it, these thoughts still remained in her mind. Chapter 736

Time passed by, and soon it was one in the morning. When Zheng ze saw that joesse was still sitting there in a daze, he was a little confused. Why was this little fellow sitting on the sofa for no reason? she seemed to be thinking about something. Hence, he walked up to Joes and reached out to stroke her hair affectionately. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet? It¡¯s already sote, hurry up and go to bed. ¡± After Qiao si returned to her senses, she hugged Zheng Zeyi tightly. There was a different look in her eyes and her heart was extremely ufortable. ¡°What exactly happened? if you really can¡¯t take it anymore, you can just tell me. We¡¯ll bear it together. No matter what, our rtionship is still here, understand?¡± Zheng Zeyi said this gently. Qiao sisiy in his arms and fell asleep after an unknown period of time. Zheng Zeyi saw that Qiao sisi had fallen asleep. When she saw that his expression was a little bad, she reached out her hand and touched his cheek. She sighed helplessly in her heart. What exactly caused him to add so much pressure on her again and again? Why did he have to add so much pressure to himself every day? if he didn¡¯t add so much pressure to himself, perhaps these things wouldn¡¯t have happened. ¡°If you gave yourself less pressure, would you not have so many things to worry about?¡± In the end, Zheng Zeyi carried Princess Joes onto the bed and gently covered him with the nket. Suddenly, he saw the text message on his phone. He could not be by Joes ¡®side now. He wanted to turn off the phone, but he didn¡¯t expect it to ring at this moment. He didn¡¯t know who was calling him.
In the end, in order to not disturb Joes, he left the ce and took out his phone to answer the call. After that, these people had already told him some things, and he also knew what had happened. Therefore, in the end, they could only leave this ce and close the door before they left. Joes was in the middle of a deep sleep at this moment, but she did not expect to have a nightmare. His forehead was covered in sweat. She screamed and woke up just like that. After waking up, she recalled those things in her mind and was extremely afraid at this moment. Her body trembled. ¡°Why did I dream of these things?¡± He muttered to himself in his heart. He had never thought that he would actually dream of these terrifying things. Even though there was a saying that dreams and reality were the opposite, what could he do? At this time, he took out his phone and called someone he was familiar with. When the call went through, Chen Anna, who was sleeping, suddenly heard her phone ring. She was a little confused. Chen Anna woke up in a daze and picked up the call just like that. When she picked up the call and heard Joes¡¯s voice, she was so scared that she lost all her drowsiness. She never thought that Joes would actually call her at this time. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? What happened?¡± Chen Anna said this in a hurry, afraid that something had happened to Joes. Furthermore, it was sote at night. Could it be that Zheng Zeyi was not by Joes ¡®side? ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I had a terrible nightmare just now and was immediately woken up by it. Zheng Zeyi seemed to be busy at the office because he had an important meeting to attend to tonight.¡± When Chen Anna heard what Joes said, she already knew what Joes was worried about. There was no need for her to worry so much. If she worried too much, it would only add to her unnecessary troubles. After that, she continued to talk to Chen Anna. Chen Anna felt that the stress that Qiao si had been under over the past few days had caused her to be in a daze, causing her to let her thoughts run wild. Thus, she consoled her with some words. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t think about anything else. It definitely won¡¯t happen again. You should just have fun now and do what you need to do. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else.¡± Upon hearing this, Joes nodded her head. However, no matter what, she was still very worried in her heart. Hence, she told Chen Anna about how Chen Anna had been very worried on the other end of the phone tofort Joes. ¡°But I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m always worried. I¡¯ve been feeling like someone¡¯sing for me these days. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the reason. Ever since I came back that night, I¡¯ve been having this nightmare and I haven¡¯t slept well.¡±
When Chen Anna heard those words, she wished that she could be by Joes ¡®side right now. However, she had unfinished business to deal with and could not apany Joes. Therefore, she could onlyfort her softly. ¡°You might just be under too much pressure. Try not to be so stressed. Perhaps everything has already been solved. As for you, you can do whatever you want now.¡± Joes spent the entire day in a daze. At night, Joes was ying with theputer when she suddenly heard a series of sounds. Joes ¡®heart was filled with fear as well. However, she did not know why she was so curious. She really wanted to know what caused this. Hence, driven by her curiosity, she decided to take a look.

Chapter 737: Dumbstruck

Trantor:549690339

By the time Joes recalled the scene from that night, her mind was filled with strange images. At this moment, she had already taken a few steps back. For some reason, whenever she recalled the situation, she felt extremely terrified. Moreover, he had always remembered the scene that night. At that time, he had also seen those people¡¯s dumbfounded expressions. Not only did he see their current state, but he also clearly saw the dead man¡¯s look of grievance. How desperate was he when he wanted to be a human? And who was the one who pushed him down and caused his death? he always felt that this matter was targeted at him, and that person was just a scapegoat. If he had been standing there at that time, would he have been the one dead? he didn¡¯t know why, but when he thought about this, he felt someplicated emotions in his heart. At this moment, Joes had also be a little neurotic. Everything seemed very strange. Moreover, he had been very normal in the past. However, after experiencing all these things, she felt that there was a problem in her head. Moreover, for some reason, he felt that someone woulde here, so he turned his head at this time. He didn¡¯t expect that there was no one here, only him. Therefore, at this moment, he turned on all the lights in the room. At this moment, the confinementdies had also arrived and saw that Joes had turned on all the lights. They were a little confused as to why Joes would suddenly turn on all the lights. Hence, they walked over to Joes. Joesse was shocked by the maternity matron and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she had held onto the sofa at thest moment and prevented herself from falling. They didn¡¯t expect Auntie Yue toe here so suddenly, so they were a little confused. They didn¡¯t know why she had onlye this month. ¡°You.¡±
¡°Madam, why did you turn on so many lights in the middle of the night? did something happen?¡± The confinementdy said this in confusion. She kept staring at Qiao si si as if she was trying to figure out something from her face. However, they did not expect that they would not be able to tell what Joes was thinking at the veryst moment. In the end, they could only sigh helplessly. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to care about me at all. You just need to go and see the child. You don¡¯t have to worry too much about other things.¡± In order not to add any psychological burden to the maternity matron, joesse tried her best to maintain the smile on her face. She let the maternity matron do what she needed to do and not care about anything else. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, no matter what happens next, if Madam has any questions, you can just ask me directly. I will definitely answer Madam properly.¡± After joesse heard what the maternity matron said, she immediately went to let her rest. She did not have to worry too much about other things. There were some things that Qiao sisi did not want to tell the confinementdy. The confinementdy only needed to take good care of her child. He did not have to worry about other things because he was only a servant in the house. At this moment, Joes also took a look outside the window, but did not expect that there was nothing outside the window. Suddenly, the wind blew in, and Joes seemed to see the ck shadow again, so she ran to the side of the window. When he looked outside, he didn¡¯t expect to see anything. He had some doubts in his heart. Why did he see something outside the window just now? why was there nothing suddenly? ¡°Why did I see something outside the window just now, but nothing now? Are my eyes ying tricks on me?¡± After joesse mumbled this sentence to herself, the maternity matrons saw joesse and ran to the window, sighing helplessly. After all, was it within their jurisdiction to meddle in whatever this Joes person wanted to do? They couldn¡¯t care about it at all, and in the end, they could only leave this ce. For the maternity matron, she only needed to do her job well and receive a sry every month. As for other things, it seemed that she really couldn¡¯t manage them. However, before they left, they also saw that Joes was standing by the window the entire time. Later on, if Joes was not careful, she might fall down. Hence, they reminded her. ¡°Madam, the wind tonight seems to be a little strong, so you shouldn¡¯t stand at that window. What if you identally fall down?¡± When joesse heard the nanny¡¯s reminder, she turned her head and nodded. She was not a three-year-old child and would not fall down so easily. She hoped that the nanny would not worry. After the maternity matron left, joesse felt that she should go to the courtyard to check it out. For some reason, she felt that someone woulde, so she went to check the courtyard. She did not expect to find anything.
He heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn¡¯t expect to hear a sudden movement in the next moment. He walked forward and didn¡¯t expect it to be a cat. Fortunately, it was just a cat and not some other people. If it was a human, he would have been scared to death. When she turned around, she suddenly saw a ck shadow sh past. Joes had already seen the bright thing and felt that these people were definitely here to deal with her. Therefore, she ran forward with all her might so that she could avoid these people.
Chapter 738

Chapter 738: The ck shadow

Trantor:549690339

At this moment, Joes had also seen many ck shadows. She did not know if her eyes were ying tricks on her, so she could not help but stretch out her hands to rub her eyes. She did not know why she had suddenly seen so many ck shadows. ¡°Am I blind? What was going on? Why did you notice so many shadows?¡± Joes could not help but look forward seriously. She did not expect that there were really ck shadows. These ck shadows were real, and it was not a problem of her eyes being blurry. What was the purpose of so many ck shadows appearing here? as she watched these ck shadows approach her, Joes was extremely worried and afraid that these people would kill herter. He looked around and felt that if he stood there, he would be waiting for death. But where could he run to? there were shadows on his left and right. Looking ahead, it seemed that he could only run forward. Just like that, Joes kept running forward. After an unknown period of time, she had already reached the small forest. In the small forest, the night wind would gently blow the leaves and rustle them. Joes had been gasping for breath the entire time, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Who had she offended every day? It was to the extent that these people were attracted at thest moment. Therefore, he could not help but have a myriad of thoughts in his mind. At this moment, Qiao Si was extremely afraid. If she was caught by these ck shadows, then she would definitely die. However, she still had to see her baby and she still wanted to stay by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side. If he died like this, wouldn¡¯t the wishes of those people be fulfilled? Therefore, they had to run forward. They definitely couldn¡¯t be caught by the ck shadow. If they were not careful, they would be tripped by something. All of a sudden, she fell to the ground with a plop, and the skin on her hands was scraped. Joes tried her best to stand up, but her muscles werepletely exhausted and she could not outrun the ck shadows at all. The ck shadows were getting closer and closer, as though they could kill Joes at any moment. Joes kept retreating.
¡°Don¡¯t run, because you can¡¯t escape from us. It¡¯s better to surrender obediently. That way, you¡¯ll be able to avoid some torture,¡± The moment she said that, Joes felt that these people would not treat him as a fool. No matter how foolish he was, he would not be so foolish as to stand there obediently. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re treating me like an idiot, or you¡¯re treating yourselves like idiots. How could I just stand here obediently? I¡¯m not an idiot.¡± Joes said in disdain and continued running forward. However, she did not have much energy left and was finally caught by the ck shadow. ¡°Run! Didn¡¯t you run pretty well just now? Why aren¡¯t you running anymore?¡± The ck shadow said disdainfully, because there was only one woman among them. How could this woman outrun so many men when she entered society? The ck figure was also holding the same knife in his hand, and the person he intended to kill with this knife was naturally joesse. The ck shirt man was holding the knife and walking towards joesse. Joes was worried about the consequences. She did not expect that this person would actually use this knife to kill her. Hence, she shouted at this moment. ¡°If you say you¡¯re going to kill me, do you know what you¡¯re going to face? I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be able to guess. ¡± After saying that, the ck figure nced at Joes. He did not expect this woman to be able to talk so much nonsense at a time like this. ¡°I never thought that a woman like you would talk so much nonsense at a time like this. You were so sessful that I was shocked.¡± Unfortunately, even if this woman had said so much, what could he do? could he let this person go? It was simply wishful thinking. No matter what, he would never let this person go. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then just let me go. If you let me go, I¡¯ll give you anything you want.¡± Upon hearing Joes¡¯s words, the man burst intoughter. Was this woman trying to negotiate with him at this critical moment? ¡°Do you think I¡¯m here to kill you because of someone else¡¯s fate? do you think I¡¯ll still listen to you? Even if you give me a million, I won¡¯t let you go. If you don¡¯t move now, I can still let you die with an intact corpse. If you move again, then ¡­¡± When Joes saw that the knife was so close to piercing her heart, she immediately pushed the person away and kicked him far away with all her might. Then, he continued to run forward. His purpose was very simple, which was to survive. How could he let this person kill him? He had clearly experienced so many things in the past, yet he was still alive. At this time, Joes took out her cell phone as she ran. It was obvious that she wanted to call Zheng Zeyi. As long as she called him and he picked up, he would be able to save her at this time.
This was because to Qiao si si, the only person who could save her now was probably Zheng Zeyi. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be on the phone the entire time. Hence, joesse felt very helpless. Why was this person still in this fairy tale? she was about to lose her life in this phone call. Joes had already made a call to Anna Chen. After the call, she had only given a simple exnation. All of a sudden, the ck shadow stabbed him in the abdomen. He felt a cold sensation in his abdomen, and he could already feel his life slipping away.
More and more blood flowed out, and he felt a little dizzy. In the end, he directly fainted. Chapter 739

Chapter 739: Chapter 740-crystal clear

Trantor:549690339

This was because before this, Joes was also one of the ck figures who had called Anna Chen. She had heard everything clearly and thus saw that Joes had been stabbed by them. Although they didn¡¯t know if they would die, they should leave this ce as soon as possible. If they didn¡¯t leave, wouldn¡¯t everything be over if someone came hereter? They weren¡¯t stupid to this extent. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ve almostpleted that woman¡¯s task. I should leave this ce as soon as possible. If shees again by the time everyone gets here, wouldn¡¯t I be finished?¡± After the ck figure said that, he left the ce as quickly as he could. Only a fool would not leave this ce. If he did not leave this ce and waited for them to arrive, he would be walking into a trap. Everything would be over. Not only would he not get the money, but he would also be caught. Besides, this woman¡¯s HP was still there. From the looks of it, he should be very close to death, so he left as fast as he could. Because to him, he was just doing things for money. If it wasn¡¯t for survival, who would be willing to do such a thing? By the time the ck figure left, everything had returned to normal. Everything looked normal as if nothing had happened, but in fact, there was a bloody smell in the air. Chen Anna had also woken up at this time. Although Chen Anna was still a little drowsy when Joes called him earlier, she was extremely awake now. Her mind was nk because she had no idea what was going on. She had no idea what had happened, so she had some doubts. She was seriously thinking about what Joes was saying to her just now.
However, he did not expect that he would not be able toe up with anything after thinking for a long time. He could not help but feel a little helpless at this moment. Hence, he took out this phone and called Jossi once again. However, he did not expect that no one would pick up. ¡°Moreover, when Joes was telling you about it earlier, she was also a little flustered. This means that someone was chasing after Joes at that time. Otherwise, why would Joes be so anxious when she spoke? Chen Anna felt that something was amiss. Someone must have been after Joes, which was why Joes did not exin everything clearly. The reason why she hung up the phone was because the person had seen Joes. Chen Anna opened her eyes in an instant, and her eyes were filled with extremelyplicated emotions. She thought about it in her mind and he felt that Joes must have encountered something. If not, why would she call him in such a hurry? if she made a call, then she would call. In the end, she hung up before she could even exin herself. This was not Joes ¡®style. Sisi, you can¡¯t be in trouble. If something happens to you, what should I do?¡± Chen Anna was also very upset at this time. Her eyes were already falling as she thought about it. Suddenly, she felt that these tears were so worthless. He was also very worried in his heart. He was afraid that Joes would encounter some kind of dangerous situationter on. Chen Anna felt that she probably couldn¡¯t ept this, so she had been thinking about what to do next. At this moment, he had originally nned to look for the men¡¯s ser team in this outfit, but he realized that he had not been able to do so while he was taking a taxi. He exined to Zheng ze that since Zheng ze was not by Qiao sisi¡¯s side, it meant that he was busy with some matters in thepany. Therefore, he took out his phone without hesitation. His purpose was obvious, and that was to call Zheng Zeyi. Thismunication tool was the fastest way to send the news. Zheng Zeyi was dealing with these documents at this time. Suddenly, his phone toot, so he immediately turned on the phone. He didn¡¯t expect it to be Chen Anna calling him. It was already threeo¡¯ clock in the morning. Why would this person call him? ¡°Zheng Zeyi, hurry up and pick up the phone. Why aren¡¯t you picking up?¡± At that moment, Chen Anna was anxiously pacing back and forth. She had never expected that this person would not pick up the call. If he did not pick up the call, what should she do if something really happened to Joes? ¡°Oh my God, if you don¡¯t pick up this call and something really happens to Jossiter, I think you¡¯ll regret it for the rest of your life and you won¡¯t be able to make up for it.¡± Chen Nana had already finished her sentence. When she finished her sentence, she made another call. Zheng Zeyi originally wanted to finish the document before answering the call. However, he didn¡¯t expect to call again. It should be something urgent. In the end, when he picked up the call, he didn¡¯t expect to hear it. This person was talking loudly to him, and his sleepiness was instantly gone.
Zheng ze¡¯s right eyelid had been twitching ever since he left. He was very worried. He did not expect to hear what Chen Anna said to him. It was just as he had thought. Something must have happened to Qiao si. Zheng ze had never expected that something like this would happen to joesse tonight. If he had known, he would not have left when they were still in the same ss. He would have stayed by joesse¡¯s side the entire time so that he could look after her. Looking at the call log again, he saw that Joes had called him. It seemed like Joes had experienced something at that time.
Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Gratitude

Trantor:549690339

¡°In that case, I¡¯m really grateful to you.¡± After Zheng Zeyi said that, he put on his suit jacket, took his official briefcase from the table, and left in a hurry. Once he left, he had his assistant behind him because Zheng Zeyi had yet to finish his work at thepany. He did not expect him to leave just like that. ¡°President, I still have something to tell you.¡± The assistant chased after him crazily, but he did not expect Zheng Zeyi to ignore him at all. No matter how the assistant chased after Zheng Zeyi, he did not pay him any attention. This was because Zheng Zeyi was constantly worried that joesse would encounter some dangerter on. Hence, no matter what, the most important thing now was to find joesse. ¡°If there¡¯s anything else, I¡¯lle back to deal with it after I¡¯m done with the things over there. You can just go back to thispany and stay there for now.¡± By the time he finished speaking, the assistant already knew that Zheng Zeyi must have something important to do next. Therefore, he did not care about it at thest moment and returned to thepany directly. Zheng Zeyi had been driving to the house at this time. He was also thinking that nothing could happen to joesse. If anything happened to her, what would he do? ¡°Nothing can happen to you. I¡¯ll be back home soon.¡± Although Chen Anna did not describe it clearly, she could roughly understand what had happened. When Joes asked earlier, she had also been running around the basement. Hence, the Butler had already woken up.
The Butler was already pacing around the vi at this time. His goal was to see joesse. However, he did not expect that joesse was not even in the room. This gave the Butler a huge shock. The Butler did not expect the sky to be so dark. Where could joesse have gone? ¡°Where could this person have gone?¡± The Butler mumbled to himself. He had searched the entire area, but he did not expect to not see joesse. He had also heard the sound of fighting. He thought it was a cat¡¯s meow, but it was different. ¡°Men,e.¡± At this time, the Butler also shouted loudly. He asked him to shout. After all, there were already many people gathered here. These people just looked at each other, not knowing why the Butler had called them here. ¡°Do you think something has happened for the Butler to gather all of us here?¡± After he said this, the Butler coughed a few times, and everyone shut their mouths. After all, the Butler was also in charge of the vi, and they were all under his care. ¡°During this time, hurry up and find this Madam. She¡¯s not even in this vi.¡± When they heard this, they all looked at each other and left the ce. When they arrived outside, they were all talking. ¡°Where do you think this Madam has gone to? He¡¯s not in the vi at all, but it¡¯s already sote, where could he have gone?¡± One of the servants said this directly. When the other servants heard this, they all shook their heads. How could they know where this Madam was going to go? they had no idea where this Madam was going. ¡°How would I know where this Madam is going? no matter what, since the Butler sent us out to look for her, we¡¯ll just go and look for her. We don¡¯t need to worry about anything else.¡± These people felt that what he said made sense. Therefore, the most important thing for them now was to find this rich man. After all, he was already here at this time of the night. Where could he go? Could it be that they had met with such an ident? for some reason, they were actually a little worried. This was because during normal times, this Madam was also quite good to them.
¡°No matter what, we should hurry and find this rich man now. This Madam has always been good to us. We can¡¯t be ungrateful people.¡± They all nodded after hearing this. That was indeed the case. That was why they had to do their best to find this Madam. Moreover, where could this Madam go in the dark of the night? There had clearly been moonlight in the sky just a moment ago, but why was there no moonlight now? ¡°This moon clearly existed just a moment ago, but now it¡¯s gone. Do you guys have this shlight?¡±
They shook their heads, indicating that they didn¡¯t have the shlight with them. Although they said they didn¡¯t have the shlight, they still had the phone. The phone had the shlight too. However, they did not expect to feel a little cold from the wind as they walked forward. Suddenly, they heard some movement. Therefore, they hugged each other. There was some fear in their hearts. They didn¡¯t know what to do, and they didn¡¯t know if they should continue to walk forward. ¡°Should we continue to walk forward? I have a feeling that I¡¯ll see some strange things ahead, but if we don¡¯t walk forward, we won¡¯t be able to find this Madam.¡± In the end, they made up their minds and walked forward. They did not expect to see Joes, who was covered in blood. They were instantly stunned. After sending Joes to the hospital in a hurry, the Butler called Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi was on his way back. He did not expect to meet Anna Chen on the way back. The two of them sat in the same car and were extremely worried. Chapter 741

Chapter 741: Waiting

Trantor:549690339

In the hospital, Zheng Zeyi and the rest had been waiting quietly outside the ward. They had no idea what was going on with Qiao si si, especially Zheng Zeyi, who was feeling terrible. If he had known that this would happen, he would not have left Qiao si. No matter what, he had to stay here quietly and wait for Joes toe out. Furthermore, he believed that Joes would definitely be able to pull through. After all, they had already faced so many difficulties in the past. How could they not be able to pull through now? No one would believe it even if they told them about it. Hence, they believed that Joes would definitely be able to pull through. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go sit over there first, and I¡¯ll just wait here.¡± When Chen Anna heard what Zheng Zeyi had said, she shook her head. What was he talking about? No matter what, he had to wait for Joes here. He would only be at ease when Joes came out. If Joes did note out, he would continue to wait here. The atmosphere here had be a little strange in an instant. No one knew what was going to happen next, so they did not say a word. All of a sudden, the door to the operating room opened. They all swallowed their saliva in an instant as they listened to the surgery. They saw that the doctor hade out, so they walked to the doctor at the same time and waited quietly for what the doctor would say next. ¡°How is the patient inside? At this time. ¡±
The doctor had already informed the patient that his condition was much more stable now. Although he had lost too much blood, he had already transfused some blood into his body. At this time, they had also arrived at the ward and saw Joes. Her face was a little pale and their hearts were a little sad. They did not know what they should do next. ¡°When do you think joesse will wake up?¡± Zheng Zeyi said this worriedly at this moment. He did not know when Qiao si si would wake up. If she still did not wake up, he felt that he could tear down the entire hospital. ¡°Who would wake up so quickly after this operation? joesse will definitely wake up, so you don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi nodded his head. Although he nodded, he was still very worried in his heart. He was afraid that Qiao sisi would not wake up just now. If Qiao sisi did not wake up for the rest of her life, what would Zheng Zeyi do for the rest of his life? All of a sudden, Joes opened her eyes in a daze. The moment she opened her eyes and saw everything, she was stunned. She thought she was going to die like this, but she didn¡¯t expect to see the bright smile on the corner of his mouth. Hiss, she actually felt some pain in her abdomen. Suddenly, she remembered that her abdomen was injured, so it must have hurt a little. When he looked in front of him, he did not expect to see Zheng Zeyi and Chen Anna staring at him. Their faces were expressionless, and he could not guess what they were thinking. ¡°Why are you guys staring at me like this? is there something on my face?¡± As she said this, Joes could not help but reach out her hand to touch her face. She did not expect that there was nothing on her face. Then, why were the two of them staring at her like this? At this moment, Zheng Zeyi had already hugged joesse tightly, but he was afraid that if he hugged her too tightly, it would hurt the wounds on her body. When he saw that Qiao si si had woken up, Zheng Zeyi was already angry in his heart. He was afraid that Qiao si si would have already faintedter. ¡°How do you feel now?¡± Zheng Zeyi had already asked this question worriedly. By the time joesse had heard what he had said, she had already shook her head to express that she desperately wanted something. Hence, she hoped that Zheng Zeyi would not be too worried. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry too much. The only thought I have right now is that it¡¯s great to be alive. After all, I thought I wouldn¡¯t be able to see you guys at the time. It¡¯s my greatest fortune to be able to see you guys again.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were also slightly red as he said this.
¡°Silly girl,¡± After Qiao si heard those three words, she instantly felt that Zheng Zeyi seemed to be a little afraid. However, she was still here, so why should Zheng Zeyi go? what was there to be afraid of? No matter what would happen next, she would not stay by Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side after leaving his house. After that, Qiao si had already told Zheng Zeyi everything that had happened. When Chen Anna and the rest heard Qiao SI¡¯s words, they felt very sorry for her.
Zheng Zeyi had already called his subordinates and sent a few of his most trusted subordinates to protect joesse. Qiao si si did not expect Zheng Zeyi to be so worried about her, so her heart was as sweet as honey. Would Yang Yue Yue be extremely disappointed when she found out that she was still alive? that was the only thought in Qiao si SI¡¯s heart. Joes took a look at the sky outside. It was still early and she did not know how long she had been unconscious. ¡°What time is it?¡± When Zheng Zeyi and Anna Chen heard what Joes said, they were slightly stunned. They finally took a look at the time and told Joes the time. Joes thought about it and realized that it had been nearly ten hours since the incident yesterday. In the end, they went through the discharge procedures, but they still had to check her body from time to time. Chen Anna had also stayed by Joes ¡®side, afraid that Joes would encounter those things again. Zheng Zeyi had also gone to inform the Butler and asked him to prepare some nutritious food for Joes to nourish her body. Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Chapter 743-anger

Trantor:549690339

At this moment, Anna Chen was also sitting beside Joes. When she saw that Joes ¡®face was a little pale, she felt a little upset. Since when did Joes¡¯ face turn so pale? ¡°I never thought that this person would actually do such an outrageous thing.¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Chen Anna had already said that. After she finished, her eyes were filled with anger. If he could start all over again, he would definitely stay by Joes ¡®side. Then, no matter what difficulties they faced, he would be able to tell that the two of them were best friends. Not only did Chen Anna feel that this was too much, even Qiao si Jiao felt that this woman was too much. In the past, Joes had never expected that this woman would do such a thing. However, she had now realized that this woman had gone too far. She had been thinking about what she should do to get her revenge. ¡°This person has alreadye to deal with me like this. If I don¡¯t fight back, wouldn¡¯t I be letting him down?¡± When he heard those words, even Anna Chen felt that what Joes said made sense. If they did not retaliate, they would be letting her down. Hence, they had to retaliate. ¡°Do you think we should tell Zheng Zeyi about this?¡± When Qiao si si heard this, she shook her head. How could she tell Zheng Zeyi about this? No matter what, she could not tell Zheng Zeyi about this. This was because Qiao sisi did not want Zheng Zeyi to worry about anything at all. Therefore, she felt that it was enough for them to know about such things. Why should she tell Zheng Zeyi?
¡°I think we shouldn¡¯t tell Zheng Zeyi about this. We should just keep it to ourselves. We don¡¯t have to tell him. Besides, I don¡¯t want him to worry about anything. He¡¯s usually busy with work.¡± Anna Chen sighed helplessly in her heart when she heard that. She had never thought that Joes would be so considerate of Zheng ze. However, since Qiao sisi had such a n, he would definitely help her and would not tell Zheng Zeyi about it. He would just let Zheng Zeyi go back to work. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s discuss our revenge n. No matter what, we have to counterattack and let these people know how powerful we are.¡± Joes¡¯s eyes were filled with ruthlessness. No matter what, she would definitely let this group of people know how powerful she was. Joes was not a small cat or dog. She had her own strength here. She reached out her hand and touched her abdomen. There was still some pain there. As expected, the wound couldn¡¯t have disappeared so quickly. Since the wound hadn¡¯t disappeared so quickly, she had to be more vignt. This allowed Joes to understand one thing at all times, and that was how much pain that person had caused her and how he should repay her. ¡°I think that although we can¡¯t kill this woman this time, we can leave a deep impression on her. I don¡¯t know what you think, but we must give her a very deep return this time. Otherwise, we¡¯ll be letting this woman down.¡± After Joes heard Chen Anna¡¯s words, she did not hesitate to nod her head in agreement. She had the same thoughts as Chen Anna. Who asked this woman to do such an excessive thing to her? Since this woman had done such an outrageous thing to him, he would definitely let her know how powerful he was. He would let her know that not everyone could be bullied. ¡°However, you said that you¡¯re not willing to tell Zheng Zeyi about this. I definitely won¡¯t tell him about this either.¡± Qiao sisi nodded her head, indicating that she would never tell Zheng Zeyi about this. Zheng Zeyi was usually so busy, how could she add to his burden? Since these people had targeted him, he would definitely be the one to take revenge. All of this seemed very calm, but in fact, it was a precursor to theing of a storm, so no one knew what kind of waves it would cause next. However, on the other side, Yang Yue Yue also felt that this matter had to be resolved in this way. Otherwise, what he was going to do next would definitely be discovered. In order to avoid being discovered, he went to find Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother at thest moment. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother was drinking his coffee leisurely. He did not expect to see a woman walking up to him. Therefore, she had never thought that she would see Yang Yue Yue at this moment, so she had some doubts in her heart. ¡°Miss yang, how did you find the time to look for me today? Could it be that you¡¯ve encountered some difficulties?¡±
Yang Yue Yue was already pretty in the morning, and she was one of the most beautiful women. When Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother saw this woman, his eyes lit up. After all, no man could escape the temptation of her beauty. He didn¡¯t expect Yang Yue Yue to immediately give Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother a note. The note also said that they would meet at a hotel that night. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother was stunned at this moment. He did not expect that he would be so open and aboveboard in the past few years. The corners of his mouth also curled up into an evil smile. In the end, he had already agreed. By night time, he would already know what Yang Yue Yue¡¯s purpose was. He did not expect that she would pay the price of using this body.
Her goal was to cover up the fact that she had killed someone. However, Yang Yue Yue¡¯s hatred for Joes only grew. Chapter 743

Chapter 743: Resolution

Yang Yue Yue already had some other ideas. Since the previous methods could not solve the problem, what about joesse? In that case, there were other ways, which was to humiliate Joes and make her lose the most precious thing to her. ¡°Don¡¯t me me for treating you like this again and again. After all, it¡¯s all your own fault. If you didn¡¯t do these things, I might have let you go. If you want to, you can only me yourself. You can¡¯t me anyone else.¡± After Yang Yue Yue said this, she raised her head and looked at the sky outside. It was still early, but what could it do? She also walked back to her own house and seriously thought about how she should make this call to Jossi. She had already found Joes¡¯s phone number by then. She took out her phone and dialed it. However, she did not expect that she would not be able to get through to Joes ¡®phone. Therefore, they felt a little helpless at this moment. Could it be that Joes had already cklisted them? Therefore, he felt that he should change his number now. As long as he changed his number, he would never know that it was his. Hence, he sessfully got himself a new card and used it to call Jossi. As expected, the call went through. Jossi did not know who was calling her, and the number was also unfamiliar. ¡°I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve called the wrong number,¡± When Yang Yue Yue heard Joes¡¯s voice, she immediately told Joes without even making a call. The person she was looking for was Joes. Joes wanted to hang up the phone the moment she heard the voice, but she did not expect this person to say that he had something to tell her. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to say between the two of us. Because the rtionship between the two of us is already here, what else can we say? it¡¯s better to just say goodbye like this. ¡± Yang Yue Yue knew that Qiao si si definitely had a lot of opinions about her right now. Otherwise, why would she say such things? However, even if she had a huge opinion, he still had a way to make Joes believe in him again. After all, he was capable of doing so.
¡°Actually, I called you this time to apologize to you. I know I was wrong before, and I hope you can forgive me. I¡¯ve been reflecting on my actions these past few days, and I know I¡¯m wrong.¡± At this moment, Joes only felt that it was a little sarcastic when she heard those words. She felt that this person was simply spouting nonsense. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that what you¡¯re saying is nonsense? I won¡¯t forgive you, so you should just leave it at that. ¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s reason for begging Joes at thest moment was simple. She hoped that Joes would forgive her. That way, he would be able to ask Joes out. As long as he could get Joes out, he might be able to do what he wanted. Joes felt that this woman probably had the same heart of repentance, so she reluctantly forgave this woman in the end. When she thought that it was over, she did not expect this woman to speak again. ¡°I think you¡¯ll definitely forgive me if I admit my mistake to your face. I also hope that you can see my sincerity. Are you willing to do so?¡± Qiao si si felt a little annoyed. She never thought that Yang Yue Yue would say so much. However, she really wanted to see what kind of tricks this person was up to. Therefore, she agreed in the end. After he had agreed to this matter, he went to make some preparations. After all, this woman was very cunning. If he didn¡¯t take precautions, he might be plotted against by this person without knowing it. In the end, the two of them had already met each other. After that, yang Yuyu walked up to Qiao sisi affectionately and held her hand, but Qiao sisi was a little disgusted. He hoped that this woman would quickly let go of him, because he didn¡¯t want to y with her hands at all. He was afraid that this woman would do something that he couldn¡¯t guard against. However, he didn¡¯t expect that he would still be affected by this at thest moment. The woman had already drugged them, so they were a little helpless at this time. They had never thought that they would still be drugged by this woman in the end even though they had been so guarded. Yang Yue Yue had also seen that joesse was lying on the ground. Her lips curled up into a smile as she grabbed joesse¡¯s chin. ¡°If you let someone else taint your painting, take a photo of it, and post it on Weibo, will it cause depression? at this time, they will definitely say that Zheng Zeyi has been cuckolded, right?¡± After she said that, Joes felt that this woman was indeed a person who would never change. Some things could never be changed, and it was impossible for the two of them to reconcile. She did not expect that this woman would always hope for her reputation to be ruined. However, before Joes left, she had also told her best friend, Anna Chen. Fortunately, she was still quite cautious. If she had not been so cautious, she might really have no other way now. That meant that if he did not return within two hours, he would let Zheng Zeyi call the police. That would mean that he must have encountered something. If he did not encounter this, it would not be impossible for him to return within two hours. At this moment, Qiao SI¡¯s mind was filled with Zheng Zeyi. Did they know about this? if they did, they shoulde and save her as soon as possible. She did not want to be sullied by these burly men.

Chen Anna had also been keeping a close eye on the time, waiting anxiously. She hoped that Joes would return at this time. If Joes did not return, it would mean that something must have happened to her. ¡°It¡¯s been almost two hours. Why hasn¡¯t he returned?¡±he asked. Chen Anna could not help but make another call. However, she did not expect that no one would pick up. Hence, she was certain that something must have happened to Joes. If nothing had happened to Joes, why was she not back yet? Therefore, he felt that there must be something else that had dyed him on the way here. Hence, he decided to wait here for a while longer. What if Joes came backter? In order to calm himself down, he went to make himself a cup of coffee. Just like that, he started drinking alone. How did he end up finishing the entire cup of coffee? he did not expect that joesse had not returned yet. At this moment, they all felt that something must have happened to joesse. ¡°Yang Yue Yue, if anything happens to Qiao si si, don¡¯t me me for being impolite to you. I will definitely let you know what it means to be torn into pieces.¡± At this time, they had already taken out their phones and looked at the location on their phones. Then, they sent the location of their phones to Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi was reading these documents when the WeChat on his phone suddenly started beeping. Therefore, he took out his phone at this time. He didn¡¯t expect to see the message sent by Chen Anna, so his eyes were full of thoughts. ¡°Jossi didn¡¯te back?¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi sent a message to Chen Anna. By the time he sent the message, Chen Anna had already received Zheng Zeyi¡¯s quick reply that Qiao sisi had not returned.
Zheng Zeyi was filled with regret. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he would not have let joesse go. Perhaps joesse would not have been hurt then. ¡°If I knew this would happen, I wouldn¡¯t have let you go. If I could stop you from going, you wouldn¡¯t be in this danger.¡± Zheng Zeyi was filled with regret at this moment, so he reached out and hammered the wall. The wall painting on the wall fell along the wall, leaving a lot of white wall dust on the ground. What had happened had already happened. What could he do now? However, since he had already obtained joesse¡¯s position, he should quickly make a police report. Furthermore, Yang Yue Yue would eventually be punished by thew. Because he had done so many terrible things and even hurt a person¡¯s life, he must be dead. Otherwise, what else could he do? Even if he had the money, he would definitely not let him out of this ce. After he was out, was he going to continue to harm Joes? ¡°All of this is your own doing. However, since you¡¯ve done such a thing, don¡¯t me me for not being kind to you. After all, this is all your own doing. I¡¯ll let you know the consequences of hurting Jossi.¡± Zheng Zeyi had already made a phone call to the police station at this time and exined the situation. After the situation was exined, the people at the police station looked at each other. They all knew what to do. At this point in time, he had alreadypleted all these tasks, so he naturally went to look for Joes¡¯s location. He had been driving the car like this the entire time, his heart filled with worry. Joes was afraid that he would not be able to see her again if he drove slowly. If he were to drive too slowly and not see this joesse, what would he do in the future? Therefore, they were a little worried in their hearts. However, no matter how worried they were, it could not do anything. Chen Anna had already told Zheng Zeyi about this and was about to leave the room in a hurry. Their goal was simple-they had to find this Joes. If he had known that this would happen, he would have gone with Joes back then. That way, this would not have happened. It was a pity that no matter how much he thought about it now, there was no way he could change anything. ¡°Yang Yue Yue, if you dare to hurt Qiao si si, then don¡¯t me me for fighting you to the death.¡± Because for Chen Anna, the thing she cared about the most was that she didn¡¯t care about anyone else, because what did the life and death of those people have to do with her?
At this moment, they had already arrived at Joes¡¯s location and saw her struggling and the people who had touched her. Therefore, Zheng Zeyi was already very angry at this moment. He had not expected such a scene at all. However, there was still a distance between the two of them, so he had been driving the car. His purpose was very simple, and that was to rush forward. At this moment, Joes was also struggling here, because she did not wish for these people to deal with her. It was simply wishful thinking for these people to think that they could deal with her. At this moment, they were also struggling. If they were not careful, it would be toote. If they paid the money, they would fall at this ce. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi had arrived at thest moment.
¡°How is it?¡± Zheng Zeyi had already said this gently. He really wanted to know how joesse was feeling right now. Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Chapter 746-panic

Trantor:549690339

Yang Yue Yue was also very flustered at this time. She did not expect anyone toe at all. She thought that she could seed here, but she did not expect that she still could not seed at thest moment. Since she could not seed, she could only run away now. ¡®If I don¡¯t run now, am I going to stay here and wait for them to catch me? I¡¯m not that stupid. If I¡¯m that stupid, I must be brainless.¡¯ Therefore, he carefully decided to escape. However, he did not expect to be stopped by someone halfway, and that person was Chen Anna. ¡°Where are you nning to go now? Do you think you can run away? I¡¯m telling you that you can¡¯t run away. After all, they¡¯re already here. You¡¯re going to be captured by them. ¡± When Yang Yue Yue heard this, she was very afraid because she still had so much youth. If she was taken away like this, wouldn¡¯t she lose her life? Therefore, at this moment, they felt that they could not be captured by these people. They decided to run past Chen Anna. ¡°No matter what, you should move away now. If you don¡¯t move away, don¡¯t me me for being impolite. After all, my patience has a limit.¡± When Chen Anna heard this, she burst intoughter. She nced at the man in front of her and saw that he was also mocking her. ¡°You¡¯ve already hurt sisi in such a way, do you think I¡¯ll let you off? No matter what, I won¡¯t let you escape from here even if I have to give up my life. ¡± Yang Yue Yue felt that the person in front of her was also delusional. How could she let him catch her? after all, she had done such a thing and had already thought of all her escape routes. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you¡¯re the one who forced me to do this. After all, I¡¯ve already told you to move away. If you don¡¯t move away, then don¡¯t me me for dealing with you.¡± At this moment, Yang Yue Yue had already rushed towards Chen Anna¡¯s side. Her purpose was to rush past this woman. As long as she could get past her, she could escape. Her car was also in front of her.
As long as he ran over, he could drive away from the car. In that case, no one would be able to catch him, and he would be free. The two of them were entangled in this situation. However, they didn¡¯t expect that at this time, they would also hear the sound of a police car, so yang Lele was a little panicked at this time. She nned to push the woman away and push him down, which would be the best, because this woman would stop her at this time. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, the police¡¯s car stopped around them. The police got out of the car and surrounded Yang Yue Yue. ¡°You¡¯ve alreadymitted so many crimes, are you still nning to escape? Do you think you can escape? After all, heaven¡¯s justice is fair. You¡¯re just a woman, yet you still think you can escape. You¡¯re simply delusional. Just surrender. ¡± Yang Yue Yue was already disheartened after the police said that. She never thought that she would provoke the police. If she had known that things would turn out like this, she wouldn¡¯t have sought death. In that case, he could still live for a few more days. He wouldn¡¯t have been caught by the police now. So many police hade here. What should he do now? Yang Yue Yue also decided to exin herself first. If she didn¡¯t exin herself, wouldn¡¯t she be giving up thisst chance? ¡°Maybe there¡¯s a misunderstanding here. Why don¡¯t you listen to my exnation first? there must be a misunderstanding.¡± Yang Yue Yue had this smile on her face, and she kept saying these words in order to make these people believe her. As long as these people believed her words, she would not be in such a sorry state anymore. ¡°If you want to exin something, you can do it after we return to the police station. We already know what you¡¯ve done.¡± At this moment, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression was also cold. He was already looking at yang Yueyue. Without any hesitation, he had already told her that Yang Yu had also killed someone previously, kidnapped Qiao si si, and even more outrageously, wanted Qiao si si to be defiled by those people. Moreover, to Zheng Zeyi, even if Qiao sisi was defiled by those people, he would not mind. After all, Qiao sisi did not do it of her own will. When they saw the big men here, their eyes turned cold. Then, the big shots lowered their heads and didn¡¯t dare to say a word. If they had known that this would happen, they wouldn¡¯t have listened to that woman. Yang Yue Yue did not expect Zheng ze to say so much in a short while, so her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. However, it was no use for her to exin herself now. Since he had no way to exin anything now, he could only take one step at a time. At thest moment, he was taken away by the police. Yang Yue Yue had crossed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s bottom line. Hence, Zheng Zeyi intended to destroy Yang Yue Yuepletely to prevent this danger from appearing in the future. This was because every time this danger appeared, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart would jump in fear. He clenched his hands tightly, and in the end, he let go.

After that, Joes and Chen Anna also discussed these issues in the same room. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyi had already passed by the room and heard the discussion between the two of them. Therefore, he had been eavesdropping behind the door. For the past few days, Zheng Zeyi had a feeling that Anna Chen and Joes were hiding something from him. He did not know what they were hiding from him. However, they were still hiding some bad things from him, so he had to find out what they were hiding from him no matter what. This was because to Zheng Zeyi, he was also Qiao SI¡¯s husband. Since he was Qiao SI¡¯s husband, he had to think for her. ¡°No matter what, I still feel that this matter needs to be perfected a little. We can¡¯t just reveal this w like this. Otherwise, how would Yang Yue Yue believe it?¡± Joes said this sentence seriously. After she said it, he thought about it seriously in his mind and felt that what Joes said made sense. Since this n was not going to work, he could only activate n B. After all, even if there was no n a, there was still n B. ¡°If that doesn¡¯t work, I have another n. Why don¡¯t I tell you about it? I think you¡¯ll be very satisfied with it.¡± After Joes heard this, she nodded her head. In the end, Zheng Zeyi had been eavesdropping outside the door. He had heard the two of them talking about revenge. It seemed that they had been talking about this matter before. However, he did not expect that they would not tell him. Hence, Zheng Zeyi was stunned at this moment. He did not expect that the two of them would not tell him about the problem that they were discussing. Therefore, they had other thoughts in their hearts. Since the two of them did not intend to tell him, he would just eavesdrop from outside the door.
After hearing what the two of them were going to do, he had already raised his vignce. If this matter was discovered, neither of them would be able to escape. Therefore, she clenched her hands tightly at this time, feeling that the two of them should not do this. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi also felt that he was a little useless. He did not expect that joesse would be injured like this. In the end, Zheng Zeyi could not help her at all. If he were to go after that woman and was discovered, it would cause another storm, and this storm was not something that Zheng Zeyi could resolve alone. This was also a problem that gave Zheng Zeyi a headache. He did not know what to do. However, on second thought, he realized that Joes was his wife. How could he not help her when she was in such danger? ¡°Hmph, Yang Yue Yue, one day, I¡¯ll pay you back double what you did to Qiao si si.¡± He had already made up his mind. No matter what, one day, he would make that woman receive the punishment she deserved. At this moment, he seemed to have heard that the two of them had finished their discussion. At this moment, Chen Anna was also nning to leave the ce. Therefore, Zheng Zeyi looked left and right at this moment. Suddenly, he saw a wall behind him. He hurriedly walked over and hid behind the wall. ¡°In that case, you must take good care of your body. I¡¯lle back to see you in a few days. If there¡¯s anything, just give me a call. I¡¯ll definitely answer your call.¡± After hearing this, Joes also nodded her head, indicating that she knew what to do. She was not a three-year-old child, so how could she not know what to do? therefore, she also expressed that Chen Anna did not have to worry too much. Anna Chen took another look before leaving. After Joes saw Joes, sheid down on the bed and left boldly. They heaved a sigh of relief when they did not see Zheng Zeyi. As long as Zheng Zeyi was not here, their n would not be discovered. In that case, Qiao sisi would not have to worry about Zheng Zeyi. However, he did not expect Zheng Zeyi toe out from behind the wall when Chen Anna had just left. He went straight to Joes ¡®room and saw that her face was a little pale. She was feeling a little ufortable lying on the bed. ¡°If there¡¯s anything, we can solve it together. Why do you have to bear it alone? it¡¯s quite tiring to bear it alone. Since you want to take revenge, why don¡¯t I take revenge with you? Why do you have to take on everything for one person?¡± Initially, joesse did not want Zheng Zeyi to find out about this. However, she did not expect him to find out about it at the end. She sighed helplessly in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would have sent Chen Anna this WeChat message. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t mean to not tell you. I just didn¡¯t want you to worry, so I didn¡¯t want to tell you. I just hope you won¡¯t be too angry.¡±
Zheng Zeyi sighed helplessly in his heart. He still brought joesse to this hospital. His purpose was very simple, and that was to bring joesse to the hospital for a thorough examination of her body. After all, Zheng Zeyi would not be able to rest easy if he did not go to check on her body. He did not expect to hit joesse in the middle of the journey and fall unconscious just like that. Zheng Zeyi also sped up his driving and rushed to the entrance of the hospital. After checking on her, Zheng Zeyi found that her body was safe and sound. Hence, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing had happened to her. If anything had happened to her, he would have dismembered that woman into pieces.
Qiao sisi had already woken up at this time, so she immediately told Zheng Zeyi, hoping that Zheng Zeyi would avenge Qiao sisi. Zheng Zeyi immediately agreed. Chapter 747

Chapter 747: Something has happened

As Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather was also sick, he suddenly received a call while he was busy in thepany. When he saw the caller ID disyed on the phone, he was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect his grandfather¡¯s butler to call him, but something must have happened. If nothing had happened, why would he call me? Hence, he immediately picked up the call. ¡°Hey, Butler, did something happen?¡± After he said this, the Butler told Zheng Zeyi everything. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather was also sick at this time and was still bedridden. He hoped that Zheng Zeyi coulde back. Zheng Zeyi was stunned when he heard that his grandfather was sick. How could he be sick when he was in such good health? However, this Butler would not lie to anyone. Therefore, they hurriedly put down the matter at hand and expressed that they would return soon. Zheng Zeyi had also returned to the house. When he got back, he saw Joes walking back and forth. As he was strolling leisurely, he had already walked up to Joes and hugged her. Joes suddenly felt someone hugging her. Hence, when they turned around, they did not expect to see Zheng Zeyi. Why was Zheng Zeyi back so soon after work today? hence, they were a little puzzled. ¡°Why did youe back so early today? Has everything in thepany been settled? Don¡¯t you usuallye back around eight or nine in the evening?¡±
When she said this, Zheng Zeyi also raised his head to look at her. There seemed to be something in Qiao si SI¡¯s eyes that she wanted to tell her. Qiao Si was not an idiot, so she could naturally sense that Zheng Zeyi had something to tell her. Joesse had already grabbed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s hand. Moreover, she had pulled Zheng Zeyi along and sat him down on the sofa. The two of them looked at each other and Zheng ze felt a little awkward for some reason. ¡°I can feel that you have something to say to me. Since you have something to say to me, you should just tell me directly. What exactly happened?¡± Joes had already said this very seriously. When Joes heard this, Zheng ze had never thought that Joes would be so smart, so he was stunned. ¡°How did you already feel that I had something to say to you?¡± Joesse was not a fool. How could she not know that Zheng ze had something to say to her? she could tell from his gaze. ¡°Because I can tell from your eyes. Tell me, what happened?¡± After she said this, she looked at Zheng Zeyi. She really wanted to know what Zheng Zeyi had to say to her at this moment. She did not know why joesse was also looking forward to it at this moment. No matter what Zheng Zeyi had to say to her next, she was willing to ept it. After all, their rtionship was there. ¡°My grandfather has already fallen ill, so I¡¯m nning to go back and visit him. Do you want to go back with me? However, when I think of the injuries on your body, I feel that you shouldn¡¯te back with me. ¡± After Qiao si heard this, she already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. Zheng Zeyi was probably worried to the point that he was vexing her because the injury on her body had not yet recovered. Since her injury had not healed, she was sure that they did not want her to be tired from running around with Zheng ze. What if her injury opened up again? Therefore, at this final moment, he took a look at Zheng Zeyi and expressed that Zheng Zeyi could go back on his own. He would also take good care of himself, so Zheng Zeyi did not have to worry too much. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll be leaving tomorrow. If you need anything, just tell me directly. I¡¯ll be there for you.¡± Upon hearing this, joesse nodded her head, indicating that she was not a three-year-old child. How could she not know what to do and what not to do? ¡°I think your grandfather is already sick. If you don¡¯t go back soon, won¡¯t you ¡­ Was it just a little unkind? Therefore, I think that you should hurry back now. ¡± While they were tracking him, Zheng Zeyi had already returned to the old house alone. When he returned, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather saw him at this time and immediately checked on him again.
She wanted to see Qiao sisi because she had heard that Zheng Zeyi was married. However, due to some reasons, she could not attend Zheng Zeyi¡¯s wedding. ¡°Jossi didn¡¯te back with you?¡± When Zheng Zeyi heard this, his face was filled with gentleness as he started to talk about joesse. Therefore, at this final moment, this grandfather was also very curious about what kind of person this Qiao Si was. To be able to make Zheng Zeyi like her so much, it meant that this ability was also part of her.
If Qiao sisi did not have the ability, how could Zheng Zeyi treat her with all his heart? He knew his grandson very well. At thest moment, he immediately sent a message to his old friend, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather. When he heard this, he immediately heard about the flight ticket and returned very quickly. Chapter 748

Chapter 748: Shaking his head

Trantor:549690339

His grandfather had been busy all this while and had not seen Joes. However, when he saw the smile on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, he could guess that Zheng Zeyi must be very happy right now. ¡°You look very happy, right? if that¡¯s the case, it means that you¡¯re quite good to Joes. Joes is considered a rather important person to you. I wonder if Joes has returned now?¡± Zheng Zeyi did not expect his own wife to say something like that. He shook his head to express that his grandfather was a little suspicious since Joes was not back yet. He did not know where Joes was now. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, it seems like Jossi hasn¡¯t returned yet, right?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he nodded his head without hesitation. Because of Joes¡¯s previous injury, she had been recuperating there. However, he could not tell the old man the reason for Joes ¡®injury. That was why he didn¡¯te back. Therefore, he was seriously thinking about how to exin this matter to them. If he didn¡¯t exin this to them, they would definitely have doubts. Therefore, he seriously thought about it for a while. All of a sudden, an idea shed through their minds. They already had an idea at this time and knew what to do. Therefore, they raised their heads to look at their grandfather and reached out to hold his hand. ¡°Jossi has been busy with some things recently, so she doesn¡¯t have the time toe back. You don¡¯t have to think too much about it. After a while, when he¡¯s done with his work, he¡¯ll naturally have the time.¡± After hearing this, the grandfather didn¡¯t think much about it, so he nodded. In that case, he didn¡¯t need to ask anything more. After all, it was normal for a young man to be busy with something. ¡°So he¡¯s busy with this matter. In that case, let him continue to be busy. After all, this young man still has to be busy.¡± Grandfather said this very kindly. After grandfather had said this, he seriously gave Zheng Zeyi his life. When she looked around and saw the smile on Zheng Zeyi¡¯s face, she knew that Zheng Zeyi must be very happy right now.
If Zheng Zeyi was unhappy, why did he have such a gentle expression on his face every time he mentioned Joes? if it were any other woman, he would definitely not have such an expression. He could not help but think that Joes was a very lucky person. After all, they had watched Zheng Zeyi grow up. They knew Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality. When he set his mind on someone, he would treat that person well with all his heart, even if it meant giving up his life. ¡°Before this, I was still wondering if the person you¡¯re married to would make you unhappy. I didn¡¯t expect that it would look like we were just overthinking things.¡± Previously, due to some regrettable reasons, they had not been able to see this Qiao si si. One day, they would definitely go and see this Qiao si properly. They wanted to see what kind of girl this person was that could move Zheng ze¡¯s heart. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing that I haven¡¯t told you. You already have this grandson, but because there were some things that happened before, I didn¡¯t tell you.¡± When the two elders heard this, they instantly recognized him as their master. They had never thought that this would be the case. They didn¡¯t expect that they would already have a grandson without asking them these few days. In that case, he would definitely have to take a good look the next time. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t he be letting her down? ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t ask any more questions. However, as long as you like her, it¡¯s fine. We want to see you like a girl the most. Although we haven¡¯t seen this person before, I think the girl you like should be very unique.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather had already said this. However, to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather, no matter what the girl¡¯s background was, as long as Zheng Zeyi liked her, everything was worth it. As long as Zheng Zeyi liked her, he wouldn¡¯t mind no matter what happened because they had high hopes for this child. Moreover, from Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes, they could see how much he cared about Qiao sisi. Therefore, they were very happy at this moment. As long as Zheng Zeyi could find someone he liked, everything would be worth it. After all, they did not have high expectations. Zheng Zeyi and his grandfathers naturally just wanted him to be happy. However, he also hoped that they would be able to see this photo of Qiao sisi, even though they did not attend Zheng Zeyi¡¯s wedding in the past. However, at least now that he was back, he had to let them see Joes. If Joes was not injured, he might be able to bring her back with him. It was a pity that things did not go as they wished. Because of Joes¡¯s injury, the situation had turned out like this at thest moment. ¡°Even though I didn¡¯t bring Jossi back, I have a photo of her. I think you guys will be very interested.¡± At this moment, he took out all of Joes ¡®photos and showed them to them. When they saw Joes¡¯s appearance, their eyes were filled with satisfaction. Joes¡¯s appearance was also very beautiful and she looked very likable. They could not help but have this smile in their eyes. ¡°Next time, you have to bring Jossi back for me, okay?¡±
Zheng Zeyi nodded his head without hesitation. Chapter 749

The few of them were naturally conversing with each other. The way Sheng Huan was conversing with them naturally made Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother jealous. When Zheng Zeyu saw that they were ying the piano so happily, he was naturally unhappy. When he thought of Jossi¡¯s appearance, he had a different expression in his heart. She had never thought that her brother would actually care so much about this Joes. If he really cared so much about Joes, then shouldn¡¯t she do something about it? However, he could also see how much these old people liked Zheng Zeyi. They were all members of the Zheng family, but why did they treat him differently at the end of the day? When they thought of this, they were extremely unconvinced in their hearts. They wanted to beat Zheng Zeyi up right now and let him know how powerful they were. From then on, he would never dare to go against them again. However, all of this was just his own guess. How could he possibly beat Zheng Zeyi? Zheng Zeyi¡¯s strength was also there. Moreover, they had very high expectations of him. If they had such high expectations of him, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t feel that it was unfair in his heart. Instead, he would work hard to do all these things well and let them see. After seeing these two old men, he was very angry. One day, he would definitely make these two old men die without a burial ce. He would also make them regret what he had done. At this moment, Zheng Zeyu already had some other thoughts in his heart, and this one thought was to destroy Zheng Zeyi so that he would never be able to get up again. As long as Zheng Zeyi could no longer get up, he would be able to get what he wanted. ¡°Zheng Zeyi, one day, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am.¡± He muttered these words in his heart, and these words were naturally only heard by himself. How could the others hear it? these people were simply discussing it.
¡®It¡¯s been so many years. I thought that these old things would have a different opinion of me; I¡¯ve not imagined that at thest moment, I would find that these old things treat me with apletely different attitude than their elder brother. They treat me with an icy look. ¡® However, he was very good to his brother. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to kill his brother so that he could rece him. Perhaps these old things would be able to face him. But how could killing a person be so simple? Therefore, at this time, a huge conspiracy was brewing in their hearts. This conspiracy was naturally to rece their brother and be someone like him. As long as she could be someone like him, her future would be bright. Besides, her brother already had a lot of businesses under his name. Since he had so many properties, as long as he could solve all of them one day, then everything would be his. He suddenly thought of his father. It seemed that his brother also had a lot of opinions about this. If he told his father about this matter, would his father agree? He couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it. ¡°Dad, I actually want to tell you something, but I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re willing to agree to it or not.¡± When Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father heard what Zheng Zeyu said, he looked at Zheng Zeyu very seriously. He really wanted to know what Zheng Zeyu was going to say to him, so he nodded at thest moment. ¡°Did you encounter any difficulties? If so, why don¡¯t you tell your father directly and see if I can help you? if I can, I¡¯ll definitely help you. ¡± When Zheng Zeyu heard this, he shook his head to show that he was not in any trouble. He just wanted to deal with his brother. When Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father heard that this man was going to deal with his brother, he was stunned. ¡°You said you want to deal with your own brother?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father was a little surprised and said this directly. He had never thought that his precious son would actually n to deal with his brother. However, no matter what, Zheng Zeyi was still his son. The two of them were blood-rted, but this son really wanted to deal with his brother. ¡°Is it because my father doesn¡¯t want me to deal with my brother? I know that my father has always thought that my brother¡¯s ability is better than mine all these years, but no matter what, I just want to push my brother down!¡± Zheng Zeyu¡¯s eyes were filled with determination as he said this. When Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father heard this, he already knew the determination of a man. Since this man had decided to do this, he only needed to agree. Therefore, they all agreed at thest moment and expressed that they would silently support him in his actions. ¡°However, I will not get involved in this matter. This is a matter between you two brothers.¡±
After he said this, the man¡¯s heart was a little happy. He never thought that his father would actually agree. Did this mean that this brother was not that important in his father¡¯s eyes? Otherwise, why would her father agree to it? ¡°Since father has already said so, then I must have agreed.¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s younger brother had also said this very happily. He had never expected that his father would actually agree. Since he had agreed, this was what he had to do. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother had already started to do this. Joes had also discovered that her brother was doing this, but she did not care about it.
Chapter 750

Chapter 750: I don¡¯t mind

Trantor:549690339

Zheng Zeyi¡¯s younger brother had already started to do this, but Zheng Zeyi did not mind at all, because he knew his younger brother¡¯s worth. [He actually wants to deal with me again. He must be dreaming. I will definitely make my brother fail at thisst moment. I will never let him achieve my goal.] However, Zheng Zeyi had already returned after that. When he returned, he told Qiao sisi that Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather and maternal grandfather both wanted to see Qiao sisi. After all, Zheng Zeyi did not bring joesse to meet his family due to some reasons. ¡°Do you want to take me to see them?¡± Joes was a little puzzled as she said this. She did not know why she felt a little uneasy and worried. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to actually bring her to meet those people. He had never been in contact with those people, because all these years, he had been busy with the work of jewelry and had not been busy with other things. ¡°Because we¡¯ve been together for so long. Of course, I have to take you to see them. If I don ¡®t, wouldn¡¯t I be letting you down?¡± After Zheng ze had finished his sentence, joesse¡¯s heart felt as sweet as honey. It was already a very lucky thing to be able to follow Zheng Zeyi in this life. As long as she could follow Zheng Zeyi, everything would be worth it. ¡°To me, I don¡¯t care if I meet these people or not. What I care about is being able to walk down this path with you. This is what I want to see the most. As long as I can walk down this path with you, no matter what happens next, it will all be worth it.¡± The cool breeze also blew in through the window.
The two of them hugged each other like this. They only had each other in their eyes. They had experienced too many things over the years and had encountered too many problems. In the past, the two of them would also quarrel, and because of this, they had already divorced. The moment she thought about the divorce, Jossi would have other thoughts in her mind. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s one more thing I want to ask you, but I don¡¯t know how to tell you. I¡¯ve been thinking about this for a long time.¡± After she said this, Zheng Zeyi looked at Qiao sisi with blinking eyes. He really wanted to know how Qiao sisi was going to exin it to him. As he suddenly recalled their rtionship, he could roughly guess what Joes was going to say to him. Hence, at thest moment, he reached out and grazed Joes ¡®nose. ¡°If you have anything to say to me, why don¡¯t you just tell me? why are you hiding it? there¡¯s no need to hide it between the two of us.¡± Joes seemed to give it some serious thought when she heard that. It did make sense. ¡°If we go back together, what identity should I use to follow you back? That¡¯s a big problem. After all, we¡¯ve already divorced for some reason. ¡± Zheng Zeyi also came to a sudden realization. So this was what joesse was worried about. To Zheng Zeyi, this matter was just a small matter. Wasn¡¯t it just a divorce? Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if many of the divorced people were resurrected? ¡°Although we¡¯ve divorced before, can¡¯t we just get back together? I think you¡¯re really a little silly. ¡± Zheng Zeyi also knew that this was what Qiao sisi was worried about. To Zheng Zeyi, this was a very small matter. The two of them could remarry anytime and anywhere. ¡®It¡¯s better to get married again the next day. ¡®When Jossi heard this, she was very happy. If she went back without a clear reason, it would definitely be a bad thing. Therefore, at this final moment, Qiao si si had already told Zheng Zeyi that they should go tomorrow. Soon, it was already the next day, and the two of them had already gone to remarry. After they remarried, they were already holding the certificate in their hands. When they saw it, the two of them hugged each other tightly. They must be well in the future and not encounter those things again. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s one more thing I wanted to tell you. They¡¯re all looking forward to your return. I think they¡¯ll be very happy when you¡¯re back.¡± Could it be that after she said this, Qiao SI¡¯s heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey? because this time, when Zheng ze said that he was going back, it meant that it was his home. However, to her, what joesse wanted was very simple. As long as Zheng Zeyi was around, it would be her home.
¡°Since you want me to go home with you, I must go to the mall to pick out the gifts for them. Otherwise, it will be a little awkward, right?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he finally nodded his head. Of course, he could go to the mall to choose this gift for his grandfather and the others, but his grandfather was not that kind of person. ¡°Where do you n to go to buy these gifts for them?¡± At this moment, Joes gave this boy a serious thought. She felt that if she wanted to buy this gift for the two of them, this shopping mall would be the only ce she could go to. What other ces could she go to besides this shopping mall?
Therefore, at thest moment, he told Zheng Zeyi directly that the two of them might as well go to the shopping mall directly. They might be able to buy the gift they wanted in the shopping mall. Zheng Zeyi agreed at thest moment. Since they were going, they would go. When Zheng Zeyi heard that joesse wanted to go to this ce, he immediately agreed to it. Chapter 751

Chapter 751: Chapter 752-fancy tricks

Trantor:549690339

After arriving at the shopping mall, Joes had already seen the dazzling array of items. She could not help but feel dazzled as she stared at these items. She did not know why she especially liked these cute things. ¡°I want this big baby. What do you think?¡± When Zheng ze heard what joesse said, he raised his head and looked in front of him. The doll was indeed huge. It looked like it was about two meters in size. Therefore, he expressed that he would buy it for Joes as long as she liked it. To Zheng Zeyi, everything was worth it as long as Joes was happy. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s happiness was derived from Joes. He did not care much about other things. The only person Zheng Zeyi wanted was Jossi. He did not need anyone else. ¡°I still want that piece of jewelry. Look, that piece of jewelry is really shiny. I think it suits me very well, even though I did have two people with this jewelry designer before.¡± Before Qiao sisi could finish her sentence, Zheng Zeyi had already said that they could just buy it. This was because he was unwilling to bring up the things that had happened in the past. He had gone too far in the past and it was not easy for them to reconcile. How could she bring up those things that made her angry again? when she thought of her past self, she wanted to beat herself up right now to wake herself up. As long as she could wake up, she might not do so many excessive things again. ¡°Also, I think that one looks pretty good too. Why don¡¯t we buy all of them?¡± Zheng ze turned around and saw that person again. He told joesse that she could buy anything she liked. In the end, after buying it, he did not expect to spend a few million dors at the final ounting. Joes suddenly felt that she had bought too many things. Previously, this house already had a lot of things, but now, there were so many things. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that I bought so many things just now? why didn¡¯t you stop me from buying so many things?¡±
When he said this, Zheng Zeyi told Qiao sisi that as long as Qiao sisi liked him, Zheng Zeyi would be satisfied with her. To Zheng Zeyi, all he wanted to see was for Qiao sisi to be happy, that was all. ¡°Because you can guess. I won¡¯t tell you about this. You have to use your brain to guess.¡± When Jossi heard this and looked at the many things she had bought, she could not help but start to mumble. ¡°I also think that you¡¯re too prodigal. After all, if you buy more than this every time, I think you¡¯ll squander away all your money sooner orter.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he burst outughing and reached out to Pat joesse¡¯s head. ¡°It¡¯s only right and proper to earn money for my wife to spend. Besides, I can¡¯t finish spending all the money I¡¯ve earned, so of course, I have to give it to you.¡± As he said this, Zheng Zeyi had already held joesse¡¯s hand, and his eyes were filled with love. When the people around them saw the scene in front of them, their eyes were filled with envy. When would they be able to meet someone like Zheng Zeyi? ¡°Look at how other people¡¯s men treat their wives, and look at how you treat me. I just bought a ne, didn¡¯t I? You¡¯ve actually been mumbling here for so long. ¡± One of the women, who looked to be in her thirties, said this directly. When she said this, the man beside her also looked up. Zheng ze was a little ashamed and lowered his head. Zheng Zeyi had indeed done much better than him. Therefore, at thest moment, in order to win back his wife, he had directly held her hand and said this in an extremely serious manner. ¡°Buy! We can buy whatever you want. After all, I¡¯m the president of apany. ¡± Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi saw the two of them having a small fight, so they smiled as well. However, when Qiao si recalled what Zheng Zeyi had just said, her heart was filled with sweetness. She had never expected Zheng Zeyi to have such a thought. He actually thought that the money he earned should be spent on himself. He was very different from those stingy men. Therefore, as long as Zheng Zeyi was willing to spend this money on her, she would definitely be happy. After all, only people who cared about her would give her this money to spend. If this person didn¡¯t care about her, why would he give her this money to spend? ¡°I¡¯m actually very happy because I never thought that you¡¯d be willing to spend so much money for me. I used to think that even though we were together, we still needed to spend money urgently sometimes. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so generous. ¡± Zheng ze told joesse that no matter what joesse wanted, he would satisfy her. Even if joesse wanted to buy the entire shopping mall, he would be satisfied with her. After all, he did notck the money at all. So, as long as Joes si wanted something, he would let her have it. This was because as long as he saw the smile on Joes ¡®face, Zheng Zeyi felt that it was all worth it. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi had already asked someone to send all the things that joesse had bought back. He was about to continue walking forward when the phone suddenly rang. Zheng ze did not even look at it and hung up immediately.
In the end, she called again, but Zheng Zeyi had already picked up. He did not expect thepany to hear the word pany¡±, so he hung up again. Chapter 752

Chapter 752: Without the slightest hesitation

Trantor:549690339

Zheng Zeyi hung up the phone without any hesitation. However, he did not expect the phone to ring again. Therefore, Joes had already seen the phone at this moment and remembered everything. Then, she saw Zheng Zeyi and hung up the phone just like that. Hence, her heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts. ¡°Why do I feel like there¡¯s something urgent that thepany needs you to deal with? you should quickly answer this call. I think this assistant has already called a few times. This call should be urgent.¡± After Qiao si finished speaking, this sentence and Zheng Zeyi both nced at the phone. No matter what, they just wanted to be by Qiao SI¡¯s side. As long as they were by her side, they would be happy. ¡°But I don¡¯t think I should go. I can stay by your side and I want to see you happy.¡± Moreover, after the previous incident, Zheng Zeyi felt that he had to always be by Qiao SI¡¯s side. As long as he stayed by Joes ¡®side, Joes would be safe and would not be hurt. If he did not stay by Joes¡¯ side, what would he do if she was hurt again? He would never allow that to happen. Therefore, for the sake of Joes¡¯s safety, Zheng Zeyi had to stay by her side. He could not let her get hurt again. If she got hurt again, Zheng Zeyi felt that he could kill her directly. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing much going on, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much. Where are we going to y now? Just tell me directly and I¡¯ll take you out to y. ¡± Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression, Qiao si thought that he must be extremely anxious. Hence, she sighed helplessly in her heart. She was not a three-year-old child, how could she not know how to take good care of herself? Although something like that did happenst time, it was only because he was careless. As long as he had this intention, nothing unexpected would happen again. ¡°You should just go back to thepany. You don¡¯t have to bother with me anymore. I think I¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡±
Zheng Zeyi had already made the call when he received Qiao sisi¡¯s final request. He did not expect to hear the assistant¡¯s exnation, but the details could only be exined when Zheng Zeyi arrived at thepany. Zheng Zeyi was already getting impatient. ¡°Is there anything that I can¡¯t say now? Why don¡¯t you just tell me about this matter now? I¡¯ll see if I can solve it for you. ¡± The assistant immediately told Zheng Zeyi that some things could only be solved when Zheng Zeyi came to thepany in person. However, at this time, there was no way to solve this problem through a phone call. Zheng ze was speechless. ¡°I really think that if you guys can¡¯t even handle such a small matter, what¡¯s the point of raising you guys?¡± At this moment, the assistant also felt a little aggrieved. He had never expected Zheng Zeyi to say such things at this time. However, no matter what, it had already happened. If Zheng Zeyi did note to thepany, this incident would have a huge impact on thepany. When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s current state, she would know in the future that Zheng Zeyi was a little annoyed. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be so annoyed. Since you¡¯re asked to go to thispany, you should just go. Why do you have to care so much?¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he looked at joesse worriedly, so he directly voiced his concern. ¡°If I leave and you encounter something like that day, what will you do? I don¡¯t want to experience that kind of thing again. ¡± When joesse heard this, she already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. She had touched her abdomen with the hand she had used to get injured the other day. Although it no longer hurt, there was still a scar that could not disappear. This was a scar that Joes would never be able to forget, because it was brought to her by those people. How could she forget this wound? No one would be able to forget it. ¡°Actually, I also think that what happened that day was unexpected. You don¡¯t have to think too much about it. It¡¯s in the past. After all, our lives still have to go on. If there¡¯s anything in thepany, you can handle it. I¡¯ll take good care of myself.¡± When Zheng ze heard what joesse said, he already knew what she meant. However, for some reason, he was still a little worried. What if something else happened to joesse? Therefore, they had been thinking about it in their hearts. However, they did not expect that they would not be able toe up with anything after thinking for a long time. When they saw Joes ¡®determined expression, they already knew what Joes meant. Hence, they agreed to it at the end. ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯ve already said it like this. If I still don¡¯t agree, wouldn¡¯t that be a little bad? But no matter what, you have to take good care of yourself, okay? If you encounter any danger, you must let me know at once. ¡±
Zheng Zeyi was still a little worried about Qiao si si, so he could not help but say this again. He hoped that Qiao si si would take good care of him, because he was very flustered when he recalled some of the things that had happened before. Qiao si had already told Zheng Zeyi what she knew and how to do it. Besides, didn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi already tell them before he left? They could onlye to him when there was such an important matter. Now that they hade to find him, there must be something important. Joesse did not want to let Zheng Zeyi miss out on all these things because of her.
Zheng Zeyi also let Qiao sisi get out of the car. Chapter 753

Chapter 753: Thoughts

Trantor:549690339

The moment Zheng ze saw Joes, he felt that she would not be standing here for the rest of the time. She probably wanted to go shopping in the mall. Thus, he had an idea. ¡°Since you want me to go back to thispany, I¡¯ll definitely go back. However, before I leave, I¡¯ll give you this card.¡± At this moment, before Qiao si could recover from her shock, the card appeared in her hand. It looked like a ck card. Hence, she hugged Zheng Zeyi tightly, her eyes filled with smiles. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll still be thrifty. I¡¯ll definitely help you save this money. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he immediately told Qiao SI that there was no need to save money for him. Qiao si could just buy whatever she wanted because he had plenty of money and he did notck it. Besides, this ck card was meant for Qiao si anyway. ¡°You can buy whatever you want. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else. After all, you still have me.¡± Qiao si nodded her head without any hesitation. She had already agreed since Zheng Zeyi had already said so anyway. After that, Zheng ze was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something important. He had to send someone to protect joesse. After all, joesse was a weak woman. And what if he encountered the same thing asst time? what should he do? He no longer wanted to see Jossi get hurt. The moment he saw how pale his face was, he felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife. At this moment, he suddenly saw a man in a suit with an expressionless face walk up to Zheng Zeyi. He was also wearing the same sunsses at this time, so it was impossible to tell what kind of thoughts were in his eyes. At this moment, joesse was sessfully shocked by the person in front of her. She did not know what Zheng Zeyi¡¯s intention was at this moment. Could it be that he was nning to let this burly man protect her? Looking at this burly man, he should be able to take on ten people by himself. ¡°This person has always been protecting me, but I¡¯m handing him over to you now. I believe he¡¯ll be able to protect you well. No matter what happens from now on, you must always be by Madam¡¯s side, understand?¡±
The man in front of her had already expressed that he would always be by her side. Zheng Zeyi heaved a sigh of relief when he received this confirmation. This person had always been by his side to protect him and had never failed all these years. That was why he had asked this person to protect joesse, because he could only trust this person. Before Zheng Zeyi left, he reached out his hand and patted the man¡¯s shoulder gently. The bodyguard already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant, so he told Zheng Zeyi to rest assured that he knew what to do. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ve told you many times. You must protect Joes well. If anything happens to Joes, I¡¯ll probably beat you up badly.¡± After saying this, the bodyguard swallowed his saliva. In the end, Zheng ze drove the car away from Qiao si under her watchful eyes. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zheng ze had already driven away. She had never expected Zheng Zeyi to ask for so many favors here. However, from another perspective, it was clear that Zheng Zeyi cared a lot about her. ¡°I can see how much this boss values his wife. No one canpare to his feelings.¡± After he said that, even Joes was sessfully stunned. She had thought that this person would not say another word. She did not expect that this person would actually say such a thing, directly shocking even Joes to the point that she was speechless. Joes was also a little confused. She did not know why this person would suddenly say something like that. ¡°I¡¯d like to know why a bodyguard like you would suddenly tell me about Zheng Zeyi.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I just saw you, Madam. That¡¯s why I said this. I hope you don¡¯t mind it too much.¡± After Joes heard this, she did not say anything else and only nodded her head. The two of them arrived at the shopping mall just like that. There were many things here, and after seeing the man¡¯s tie, Joes had an idea. She immediately pulled the bodyguard to the front of the many ties. The bodyguard was a little confused. He did not know why a woman like Joes woulde here to buy ties. Was he going to wear this suit? However, if she wanted to wear this suit and buy this tie, shouldn¡¯t she go to the opposite side? This woman should be wearing the clothes opposite her. ¡°Which one do you think looks better? actually, I want you to help me choose a tie that looks better because I want to buy it for Zheng Zeyi. After all, since we¡¯re going to this shopping mall, I have to buy something for Zheng Zeyi.¡± At the end of the day, the bodyguard also chose three ties. The bodyguard felt that Zheng Zeyi would definitely like these three ties. Otherwise, he would not have followed Zheng Zeyi for so many years in vain. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll just buy all three ties. By the way, the most important thing is that you must not tell Zheng Zeyi about this, because I want to give him a secret surprise!¡±
The bodyguard expressed that he would definitely not tell Zheng Zeyi about this. All of a sudden, they were walking in front of the mall. They didn¡¯t expect to see a person faint in the middle of the mall. Joes did not think much of it and immediately walked forward. She did not expect to see this person with so much blood.
Chapter 754

Chapter 754: Cold-blooded and heartless

Trantor:549690339

¡°Why do you think this person suddenly fainted here?¡± One of them had already said this. She was dressed fashionably and was wearing a mink coat. She should be thedy of a rich family. Otherwise, why would she be dressed so fashionably? The other person also looked like a young man in his twenties. At this time, they also looked at this person. After seeing this person¡¯s appearance, they seriously thought about it. ¡°Why do I feel like this person is pretending to be sick? could he be binding his hands here to ckmail people?¡± After Joes heard their discussion, she instantly felt that these people were too cold-blooded and heartless. This person had already fainted here, and there was so much blood on the ground. How could he be pretending? ¡°No matter what, I¡¯m not going to get involved in this. If I don¡¯t do it well and end up hurting our family, wouldn¡¯t we be no different from this fool? That¡¯s why we just need to stay here and watch. ¡± When the other people heard this, they all nodded their heads. They all felt that this person¡¯s words were quite reasonable, so they just stood aside with cold eyes. They did not even bother about this person. When Joes saw the gazes of these people, she could not help but sigh in her heart,¡¯the world is really cold.¡¯ ¡°How could I have wrongly used you? Don¡¯t you see how much blood he has lost? You actually dare to say such things here. ¡± Joes was already beyond furious. She had already stood up and retorted such a sentence. When these people did not even pay attention to Joes, Joes felt that there must be a hole in their skulls. However, if they did not look at the items that they took away, they would not be so cold-blooded and heartless. Because this person had been lying here for so long, but no one hade to help. If he hadn¡¯te here, would they have watched this person die Here?
¡°All of you,e over and help me. Can¡¯t you see that this person has lost so much blood? What if I dieter?¡± Unexpectedly, someone in the crowd said the same thing. ¡°So what if he¡¯s dead? what does it have to do with us? it¡¯s this person who¡¯s dead. It¡¯s not like we know him, so we can¡¯t possibly care about him.¡± Instantly, Joes was rendered speechless. She had never expected them to say such words. Therefore, she felt that these people were simply too cold-blooded and heartless. When he saw the gazes in their eyes ¡­ Joes felt that she should not have any more expectations for these people, because the gazes in their eyes were simply too terrifying. ¡°Ha, if you encounter such a situation one day and no one helps you, you deserve it.¡± Even after she said that, the group of people maintained their attitude and ignored Joes. They continued to chat among themselves, asionally looking at the person lying on the ground. Damn it, this group of people simply don¡¯t have this kind of conscience. Because they are all the same person, why don¡¯t they go and help? If they were to fall to the ground one day, would someone help them? This was something that Joes really wanted to know. If no one were to help them, what would they think? Joes could not help but feel a little curious. Joes felt that when the time came, these people would probably be very disappointed. ¡°I think if this woman goes to help this person, what if his familyes here and mes him for it? This is simply a thankless task. ¡± One of the women who looked older said. After she said this, the other people also expressed their agreement. Even though some of them appeared to be persuading Jossi not to get involved in this matter, they were actually being sarcastic. ¡°Aiyo, really, why do you have to care about this kind of thing? Leave quickly, that¡¯s good. Little girl, let me advise you not to care about this matter anymore. You should leave quickly. ¡± When Joes heard this person¡¯s words, she could already tell what he meant. He was telling Joes not to meddle in other people¡¯s business. However, Joes refused to leave and insisted on interfering in this matter. If these people did not interfere, then he would definitely have to. He definitely could not let this person continue to lie here. ¡°If I don¡¯t care about this matter, will anyone care about it? what if this person dies here? Are you going to take responsibility? I don¡¯t think you can afford to take this responsibility. Since you can ¡®t, then don¡¯t force me to say these words. ¡± When these people heard what Joes had said, they all looked at each other. They had never expected that I would be so fierce and say such a thing without any hesitation. Therefore, the final signnguage was filled with anger. They had originally wanted to tell Joes not to be a busybody here, but they did not expect that at thest moment, Joes would say it again.
At this moment, Joes also took out her phone and sessfully dialed 120. At this moment, only 120 could save this person. Could other people save this person? However, at this moment, Joes was unable to carry this person by herself. Hence, at thest moment, a person walked out from the crowd and took the initiative to help Joes carry the person into the car. Joes had never thought that someone would actuallye to help her at this final moment. She was very happy about this. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to you. How about I treat you to a meal?¡±
Unexpectedly, the corners of this person¡¯s mouth were indeed curling up, but Joes did not notice it. Chapter 755

¡°I think we should forget about the meal. After all, you don¡¯t even need to treat me to a meal. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± The person who had helped Joes had already said that. His purpose was simple. He wanted to see what Joes would say next. Joes felt that this person had already helped her so much, so she still had to treat him to a meal. Furthermore, a meal was just a small matter to express her feelings. That was why she had insisted. However, this person could not help but curl his lips into a smile. It seemed like he had already achieved his goal. He actually said that since this person had already agreed to it, he would definitely be going out for a meal with Joes. In thisst moment, Jossi looked around the ce to see if there was a restaurant with fewer people. That way, the two of them could quickly finish their meal and go their separate ways. At this moment, there seemed to be fewer people in the restaurant 500 meters away from them. Therefore, he told the person beside him, ¡°I think the restaurant in front of this one doesn¡¯t have many people. Why don¡¯t we go to that one for a meal? it¡¯s just a little sad. I don¡¯t know if you mind?¡± This person immediately shook his head, indicating that Jossi was more than willing to treat him to a meal, how could she possibly mind? Later on, the two of them arrived at the restaurant. After arriving, the people in the restaurant began to get busy. They all had smiles in their eyes because it was not easy to wee a customer. Furthermore, the people in the restaurant had a different look in their eyes at this moment. The look in these people¡¯s eyes quickly disappeared without a trace. However, Joes did not notice the look in these people¡¯s eyes. Instead, she felt a little happy. ¡°I kind of want to go to this toilet, so I¡¯ll go there first. If the food is servedter, you can start eating first.¡± After he finished his sentence, the man in front of him nodded his head without hesitation.
¡°In that case, you can go to the toilet. The food will be served soon, and I will eat first. You don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± In the end, Joes only turned around. She did not expect that these people¡¯s lips would curl up into an evil smile. Their gazes had also turned a little fierce. Unfortunately, Joes did not notice that she had also been mumbling to herself for a while aftering to the toilet. As she had her own things to do, she naturally had to stay here for a while. At this time, they had already finished using the toilet. When they came back, they didn¡¯t expect that the food had already been served. Therefore, they looked at the person who had helped them. Joes felt that the person who had helped her should be a good person. If he was not a good person, why would he help her? ¡°I¡¯m quite lucky today. I didn¡¯t expect to meet such a good person. I¡¯ve never met such a good person before. ¡± The moment he thought of the group of people in the mall, he was extremely angry. He wanted to teach them a lesson. They were all the same. Why couldn¡¯t they help each other? In the end, they were all very angry. Before they wrote down the first offer, they took out a paper towel and wiped the water off their hands. Their eyes were also filled with anger. She was extremely angry when she thought about what had happened at the mall today. If she told Zheng Zeyi about this, Zheng Zeyi would definitely be extremely angry too. ¡°If you leave with me, I think you¡¯ll be very angry. It would be great if you were by my side now. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re busy with thepany¡¯s Affairs.¡± At this moment, Qiao si mumbled to herself. Zheng Zeyi had already left to handle thepany¡¯s Affairs. She could not possibly drag him out of thepany at this point in time. ¡°AI.¡± After Joes helplessly sighed, she left the toilet at the end of the day and went over to the other side. She did not expect to see that person lifting his head to look at her. Hence, she had a smile in her eyes. By the time she came out, she was already sitting opposite this person. When she sat down, she saw this personining that she didn¡¯t know why, but Joes didn¡¯t like his gaze. Moreover, they didn¡¯t know why this person kept looking at them like that. Was there something on their bodies? Therefore, they had some doubts in their hearts. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you keep staring at me. Is there something on my face that I haven¡¯t cleaned?¡± The moment he said that, the person in front of him shook his head, indicating that there was nothing special about his face. He only felt that Joes was more refreshing and was the kind that was more pleasing to the eye. That was why he could not help but take a few more nces at her, hoping that Joes would not mind too much. How could Joes mind? hence, she shook her head, indicating that she would not mind and hoped that this person would not overthink it.
The two of them had already started introducing each other. The person who had helped me was originally called Wang Xu. From the name, I could tell that he was a kind person. Otherwise, why would he help me? If this person was a fierce and evil person, he would definitely not help him. This could only mean that this person was not that kind of fierce and evil person. At this moment, Wang Xu had already taken out the sleeping drug that he had prepared beforehand. When Joes was not paying attention, he had ced the sleeping drug into her bowl without her noticing.

At this moment, Joes had also taken a look at the dishes on the table. She suddenly felt that the fish looked, smelled, and tasted great. ¡°Look at the fish on the table. I think it¡¯s not bad. Why don¡¯t you try it?¡± Although he didn¡¯t know why there were so few people in this restaurant, he had his own reasons. Or maybe it was because the other people didn¡¯t like his taste, but he felt that his food was quite good. ¡°Okay, okay, I will eat this fish. Actually, I think the food in this restaurant is quite good. I don¡¯t know what you think.¡± By the time he said that, Joes had already taken a bite and felt that the food was quite delicious. Even though she did not know why there were so few people in this restaurant, it was fine since there were so few people. At least their food was put away rather quickly. After that, he felt a little dizzy. Could it be that he had drunk this wine? Why did he feel that the person in front of him had the shadows of several people? Therefore, he felt a little suspicious at this moment. However, no matter how suspicious he was, this matter had always happened. Therefore, he had been trying his best to hold on. However, no matter how hard he tried to hold on, he still felt a little dizzy. As a result, he fainted at thest moment. Wang Xu saw the man faint just like that. When he walked over, his lips curled into an evil smile. Finally, this man had fainted. If he hadn¡¯t fainted in the past, he wouldn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to dawdle for so long before you fainted. Even I was shocked. Fortunately, you still met your past at thest moment. You can only me yourself for it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Wang Xu said. After he said that, he carried joesse and left the ce. He drove the car and left, so they didn¡¯t know where he was going. Previously, Wang Xu had thought that he was the one who didn¡¯t put in enough of the name. He didn¡¯t expect to find out at thest moment that it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t put in enough drugs, but that Joes¡¯s resistance to drugs was too strong.
After seeing him fall asleep here, she would recall the things that Joes had done in the past. Even though he had some other thoughts, he could only me Joes for offending someone she should not have. ¡°If you didn¡¯t offend so many people, you wouldn¡¯t be in this state. You can only me yourself.¡± After he said that thoughtfully, he drove away. The car left the ce. Everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened. Joes had been lying there the entire time,pletely unaware of everything that was happening. The car stopped at the abandoned factory at thest moment. After it stopped, Wang Xu carried Joes down. After carrying him down, he tied him to the chair. However, Joes was still unconscious. Wang Xu reached out and pinched Joes ¡®face. At this moment, the child said coldly,¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to actually be sleeping here. That¡¯s pretty good.¡± However, the only thing Wang Xu wanted to know was that the woman would wake upter. What would happen when she found out that she had been captured? for some reason, he was looking forward to it. He thought that the woman would be frightened in the next moment. Unfortunately, it was his fault that she was frightened. Joes had been lying there the whole time. Wang Xu went to get a basin of cold water and sshed it on her face. Joes woke up immediately. She felt it and shivered. He had never expected to be doused with cold water all of a sudden. Didn¡¯t he just have this meal? He raised his head and looked at Wang Xu. He didn¡¯t expect this. ¡°Why did you suddenly appear here? and why was I suddenly tied up by you? let go of me now.¡± Joes was struggling with all her might. However, no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free in the end. She was tied up tightly and it was useless no matter how much she struggled. Hence, she was feeling a little helpless. ¡°I¡¯m letting you go. After all, everything that happened was your own doing. I¡¯ve already caught you and I¡¯m not an idiot. Why should I let you go? I think you should stop struggling now.¡± In fact, I felt that my hair was also wet and my whole body was very ufortable. Before this, I had trusted this person so much. However, he didn¡¯t expect this person to be lying to him. He was so angry that he wanted to teach this person a good lesson.
At this moment, Joes wanted to touch hermunication device. However, she did not expect that no matter how hard she touched it, there was nothing around her, not even the so-calledmunication device. It seemed that the person in front of her had taken everything away. If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have believed such a person at that time. Unfortunately, it was useless to regret it now. He couldn¡¯t help but feel that he was simply stupid. If he wasn¡¯t stupid, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. Now that he didn¡¯t even have this phone, it was impossible for him to call the police. What was the point of calling the police? even his life was in danger.

Chapter 757: Chapter 758 ck card

Trantor:549690339

Zheng Zeyi took onest look at joesse and felt helpless, but he still smiled and said,¡±¡±Why are you so afraid of thepany? Don¡¯t worry, even if something big happens to thepany, I still have money to support you, so don¡¯t worry, little fool. ¡± When Qiao si heard this, she raised her head and looked at Zheng Zeyi. She looked at him in amusement and mumbled softly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t mean it that way. Besides, that¡¯s how much you earn.¡± ¡°Like that? I can only afford to support you if I earn more. ¡± Zheng Zeyi said. Joesse¡¯s face turned a little red from his words. She wondered in her heart, when did this person be so greasy that he could reply to her with a few words. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be garrulous. Thepany only called you back because there¡¯s something important. If you continue to argue with me, you won¡¯t be able to support me if something happens. I¡¯m not that easy to support!¡± Joes deliberately retorted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your husband has the most money here. Just tell me what you want.¡± Zheng ze¡¯s tone was exactly like that of a nouveau riche. However, in Qiao sisi¡¯s eyes, with his looks, she did not think that he was fake. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s personality was not like this in the past, but now that he had be like this, she found him a little cute. Moreover, she knew that the other party had the confidence to say that. Only those with the ability could say that. The two of them looked at each other andughed out loud. Joes could not hold it in any longer. From the happiness in his eyes to his face, Zheng Zeyi only smiled slightly, but the people around him paled inparison. It had to be said that the two of them were very good-looking. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. You¡¯ve been here for so long.¡± Qiao si could not help but urge him for fear that he would dy the important matter. Zheng Zeyi did not continue. He took out a card from his bag and handed it to joesse, saying,¡±¡±Here you go, buy whatever you like here, don¡¯t be soft-hearted. I earn money to spend. ¡± Qiao Si was shocked by the card. She took a closer look and saw that it was Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ck card. Although it was a little vulgar to use money to hit his wife, it was the most real. This was also something Zheng ze would do in a while. He was definitely not trying to gain something for nothing.
In order to make Zheng Zeyi leave quickly, joesse took the ck card and said,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll spend this money on you. Hurry up and earn some money to make up for my deficit. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be done spending it all.¡± ¡°Yes, my dear wife.¡± Zheng ze left as soon as he finished speaking. He was about to go to the car park downstairs to get his car, but he was still worried. It was not good to let sisi go shopping alone. But where was he going to find her now ¡­ Right, he had to ensure her safety first. The moment he thought of this, he immediately took out his phone and called his subordinates toe and protect sisi. He also took everything he couldn¡¯t carry with him. This way, she wouldn¡¯t have to move her things by herself and it would be too tiring for her. On the other side, Qiao si heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Zheng ze leave. She looked at the ck card in her hand and her face was filled with a blissful smile. Perhaps this was the best form of love. The two of them kept thinking about each other. Since Mr. Zheng had given them such a card, they couldn¡¯t just do nothing. They had to choose a gift for Mr. Zheng immediately ¡­ At the thought of this, she had the motivation to take action immediately and look for the tie she wanted. Joes said she would leave, so she left. However, it was not easy to find a tie that she was satisfied with. She had already been to a few shops and was not satisfied with the neckties. Zheng ze¡¯s good looks matched everything, but Qiao sisi wanted to choose a stunning one. However, she had not been able to choose one yet. At the end, she was a little tired and wanted to give up. She saw thest shopping mall and thought that if she still couldn¡¯t find a suitable one, she would choose the standard one. It was really too tiring. It was strange. At that moment, Joes was attracted by the pattern and color of a tie the moment she entered. The tie exuded a noble air from the inside out. Other people would definitely look good wearing it too, but joesse felt that the tie was tailor-made for Zheng Zeyi at first nce. It was exactly the kind that she wanted. ¡°Waiter, please wrap up this tie for me.¡± Joes said excitedly as she entered. The service staff was very enthusiastic and immediately brought the tie down to be wrapped. This tie was very expensive and difficult to wear. It was just that the color and pattern were not easy to match, but she did not expect that someone would really be willing to buy it. Joes took the tie and went out after swiping her card. She could not wait to see Zheng ze wearing this tie. It was a little too domineering. However, the moment she stepped out, a person fell to the ground in the distance. The sound attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and Joes subconsciously looked over. The people were quickly attracted by the person on the ground and gathered around to watch the show. However, they were just there to watch the show and soon, a circle was formed. Joes frowned as she walked closer to the circle. The outer circle was very crowded, and everyone wanted to see what was going on inside. Someone even discussed,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on? why is it so loud all of a sudden? did something happen?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. It should be the sound of someone suddenly falling to the ground. I haven¡¯t seen what happened to the person inside. I really don¡¯t know why he suddenly fell to the ground.¡± Everyone was talking at the same time, but the people inside were just looking at her and had no intention of helping her up. With so many people gathered together, the atmosphere was not very good, and joesse could not bear it any longer.
If this continued, the people inside would be in trouble even if they were fine. The air was blocked when they were all gathered together. No, she couldn¡¯t watch a person¡¯s life slip away in front of her. It would make her feel bad. ¡°Excuse me, let me take a look.¡± Joes said as she pushed through the crowd and walked in. The people in the inner area were stunned when they heard a voice. Then, they heard someone shout to make way and unconsciously made way for them out of curiosity. Joes did not think too much about it and immediately went over to take a look. She realized that the person had just fallen to the ground and his blood was all over the floor. From the looks of it, it was already very abnormal. However, she did not know what the problem was that he was bleeding so much. Looking at the blood on the ground, it was really a bit scary. These people were also very scary. There was so much blood, but they could still maintain their calm and indifferent hearts to watch the show. He really didn¡¯t know what these people¡¯s hearts were made of.

Chapter 758: Help

Trantor:549690339

Joesse thought about how the people around her were looking at her with strange gazes, but everyone tacitly kept their distance from joesse, not wanting to stand in the same line as her. They could see the situation more clearly from the inside. There must be a big problem for this person to be bleeding like this. They just wanted to watch the fun and didn¡¯t want to get into any trouble. Joes could not stand the sight of the snow any longer. She rushed over and performed first aid on the man. The man¡¯s breathing was normal, but she could not tell where the blood wasing from. Joes was not in the mood to find out where the blood hade from. She only felt that if she did not care about a person¡¯s life, that person would definitely be dead. She could not learn from them and watch the show from the side. Those people had really taken a few steps back now. Everyone was a cold person. Originally, no one went to save that person. Everyone was afraid of the danger and wanted to watch the show, so everyone thought it was nothing. However, there was one person who was different from them. That person was not afraid of these people and went to help the person on the ground. Those people all had their own thoughts. However, Joes was not in the mood to think too much. She only wanted to save the man as soon as possible. As for the consequences, she had not thought about it. Everyone had a conscience. When she saw that the other party¡¯s breathing had recovered, she felt a lot more at ease. However, there was so much blood that needed to be dealt with. She would call 120 first. It was better to be admitted to the hospital in this situation. When she really wanted to find her phone to make a call, she couldn¡¯t find it. Damn it, this couldn¡¯t be dyed any longer. She was afraid that this person¡¯s life would be in danger if this dragged on. ¡°It¡¯s very dangerous right now. You guys can make a call. ¡± Jossi said, but no one was willing to pay attention to her words. Everyone was indifferent to the matter and maintained a mentality of not wanting to get into trouble. No one was willing to take the initiative to pick up the phone and make the call. There was not a single kind person. What was wrong with society these days? was everyone so cold to this extent? this was a human life. Joes was truly shocked by them. It was understandable that they were not willing to help, but why were they not even willing to make a phone call? had they already disyed their human nature to the fullest?
It was too scary. What was wrong with this society? what if the person lying here was their family? If it was the same and no one cared about it ¡­ It would be too funny. Just as Joes was about to give up, a young man finally walked out in a panic and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already made the call. All that¡¯s left is to wait for the ambnce to arrive. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine.¡± Perhaps it was because she had seen too many people remain unmoved, but this simple phone call had given Jossi an unexpected favorable impression of this young man. This society might not be as selfish as he thought. There were still people who were willing to take the risk to make a call. The ambnce would be here soon. At this time, there was another problem. Who should help move this person to the ambnce? It was impossible to move them over by relying on his own strength. But this person really couldn¡¯t be dyed at all. Where did the person who called the ambnce go? the people here were extremely cold. They wouldn¡¯t even make a phone call, let alone do something that would dirty their hands. She had already seen all these garbage people clearly, so she didn¡¯t expect them to take the initiative to help carry the person into the ambnce. The only person who had called the ambnce for the person who had fallen to the ground came over to lend a hand. He wanted to help the person onto the ambnce. Joes knew that she had not made the wrong choice. There were all kinds of people in this society. When they sent her to the ambnce, there were already traces of blood on Joes¡¯s body. However, her heart felt heavy, and she felt relieved. There were many people who did not believe in the reality of society, and there were also many sincere people. Her heart calmed down again. After sending the patient to the ambnce, the young man scratched the back of his head in embarrassment andforted her,¡±¡±She¡¯ll be fine, but you¡¯re really special. Other girls can¡¯t stand this kind of bloody scene, but you¡¯re still able to perform first aid calmly ¡­ You¡¯re quite special. ¡± ¡°Tsk, don¡¯t go back after you failed to do a good deed. If something happens to that person, I¡¯m afraid you two won¡¯t be able to escape responsibility ¡­¡± A woman around said in a strange tone. In her opinion, it was very strange to save this person on the ground. She wanted to be in the limelight by going against the others. If no one cared about it, everyone would feel at ease. Now that someone suddenly cared about it, they felt that it was wrong. However, what they did was the right thing to do. Jossi looked at that person with gratitude. She had almost been disappointed in this society. She had thought that it was really nothing much. Fortunately, there were still people who were willing toe out. Even if the person on the ground was not rted to him by blood, it was still a human life. Since someone was willing to help, he had finally sent the person up. He had done his best. ¡°Thank you. You¡¯re also the first person who¡¯s not afraid to help me send someone up there. You¡¯ve shown me the other side of society. Fortunately, not everyone¡¯s heart is as hard as stone.¡± Joes said. Before the helper could reply, Joes continued,¡±¡±It¡¯s fate that we met, and what happened today is even more of fate. How about this, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?¡± ¡°Ah ¡­¡± He continued to scratch his head and said,¡±¡±No need. I didn¡¯t put in much effort. This is what I should do when I see it outside. You don¡¯t have to think too much. You don¡¯t have to eat.¡±
However, Joes insisted,¡±no, I have to treat you to a meal. Otherwise, I¡¯ll feel like I¡¯m missing something. I¡¯d rather have a meal. Hurry up and tell me, What do you like to eat?¡± ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m really sorry about this.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll treat you this time. It¡¯s fate that we met like this. Let¡¯s go. What do you want to eat? we¡¯lle over immediately.¡± Joes¡¯s emotions were veryplicated, and she only wanted tofort herself with food. ¡°Then there¡¯s no point in me declining. It¡¯s better to ept than to be respectful.¡± The helper smiled shyly and said. Joes heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the helper had agreed. She still had to treat him to a meal.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± After Joes finished speaking, she turned around and left. The person who helped her changed his bashful expression and smiled with a deeper meaning. However, Joes turned around and did not see him. Chapter 759

Chapter 759: Chapter 760-kidnapping

Trantor:549690339

Since Joes had decided to treat someone to a meal, she would not just randomly find a ce to eat. Instead, she had done her research and found a better restaurant. Those who could afford to eat there were either rich or noble, not because of any reason, but because it was rtively quiet. It looked like a very ordinary small restaurant, but in fact, it had a lot of background. The food was all very good, so joesse chose this restaurant. This restaurant was also very good to thank others, but the most important thing was that it was secluded. The expression in that person¡¯s eyes became even more obvious when he saw that joesse had chosen this ce. This was really a piece of cake. Since you chose this ce yourself, then you must have found it yourself. However, I couldn¡¯t be med for this. Since Joes had chosen this ce, my chances of sess had increased by quite a bit. It seemed that I had to prepare to reward her when I returned. Joes led her people in, and it was the same inside. It was as quiet as the previous time she came. The two of them found a seat and sat down. The waiter immediately brought the menu. Joes passed the menu to Wang Xu and said,¡±¡±You order first. I¡¯m not picky about anything, but I don¡¯t know what you don¡¯t like. Since I¡¯m treating you, you should order first.¡± Wang Xu didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with her and immediately took the menu. He even pretended to be shy and scratched the back of his head.¡±Aiya, how can I ept this?¡± Even though he said that, his actions werepletely different from what he said. Joes did not mind too much. She could just get someone else to prepare whatever she wanted to eat. This meal was indeed for him, so she let him order first. Wang Xu also followed the rules and ordered a few dishes before returning the menu to the waiter. Joes smiled and said,¡±¡±If it wasn¡¯t for you today, I don¡¯t know what I would have done. I haven¡¯t even asked for your name.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary person. I¡¯m just doing my best. I¡¯m very happy to be able to help you. I¡¯m really sorry to have troubled you to treat me to a meal.¡± Wang Xu said. The two of them chatted casually, and the dishes were served.¡±Since the dishes are here, let¡¯s eat first. Don¡¯t wait for me to get cold and it won¡¯t taste good.¡± Joes said.
The two of them started eating. Halfway through, Joes stood up and went to the toilet. Wang Xu¡¯s eyes lit up. He had been worried about not being able to find an opportunity, but who would have thought that he would be given such a good opportunity for free? he could not be med for being impolite. The moment joesse left, Wang Xu¡¯s gaze turned vicious. This was a rare opportunity, so he decided to take it. He immediately took out the sleeping drug that he had prepared and ced it in the rice that joesse wanted to eat. After that, they mixed around so that no one would notice anything amiss. Joes returned home and did not notice anything. She sat down and continued to chat with Wang Xu while eating. The atmosphere was great and they were able to keep up with each other¡¯s conversation. Joes¡¯s heart was also at ease. She didn¡¯t know why she had a bad feeling as she ate. Now, this feeling had be more and more amusing as they chatted. This meal was to thank him and hope that he would continue to do such a good thing in the future instead of only doing it once. ¡°Oh right, I was interrupted just now. I haven¡¯t even asked for your name.¡± Joes asked as she ate. It seemed like she really wanted to know. Wang Xu looked at the rice in joesse¡¯s bowl and wondered why the effects of the medicine had not taken effect yet. Would it be dangerous for his name to be exposed? forget it, he had to stabilize her first and not let anyone see through her. It was not toote for her to escape now. ¡°Hehe, my name is as simple as a person¡¯s name. It only has two words. My surname is Wang, and there¡¯s only one word-Xu. It¡¯s very easy to remember. How should I address you, miss?¡± Upon hearing this name, Joes felt that it was a little familiar, but she could not remember where she had heard it from. She did not continue to be conflicted. Since the other party had told her his name, she had to say it. ¡°My name is also easy to remember. Thest two characters are the same, but it¡¯s even simpler. My surname is Qiao, and thest two characters are sisi ¡­ How¡¯s that? it¡¯s easy to remember, right?¡± Joes said with a smile. However, she did not notice Wang Xu¡¯s meaningful smile. Jossi ¡­ She knew that name and had been staring at it for a long time. Now, she had finally caught it. As Joes spoke, she realized that something was amiss. Why did she suddenly feel so dizzy? furthermore, she was already starting to see hallucinations. That Wang Xu ¡­ Why was there a double? Something was wrong ¡­ Joes¡¯s mouth moved as if she wanted to say something, but before she could make a sound, she fell unconscious on the table. Wang Xu¡¯s lips curled up for a long time when he saw this. Wasn¡¯t this a simple matter? all he did was waste such good food. This person was really good. Wang Xu didn¡¯t waste any more time. After all, he didn¡¯t know how long the medicine couldst. The earlier he sent it to a safe ce, the better. Just like that, Wang Xu brought joesse to a van. Then, they drove to an abandoned factory. There was another person in the car, and what was shocking was that that person was the subordinate that Zheng Zeyi had sent to protect joesse. ¡°How is it? are you all ready?¡± Wang Xu looked at joesse and asked. He had spent quite a bit of effort to get this person over, but fortunately, he had finally gotten him out. The car arrived at an abandoned factory. Wang Xu brought Joes in and tied her up with a rope. When everything was ready, he went to get a bucket of cold water and poured it on Joes ¡®head. The one called le was jolted awake by the cold water. She opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar environment. She wanted to move her hands but realized that she could not. A bad thought quickly formed in her heart.
She couldn¡¯t have been kidnapped, could she ¡­ When she looked up, she really had been kidnapped by the man called Wang Xu ¡­ He must have drugged her while she was in the toilet. She made me unconscious and then tied me up to this dpidated factory. I have to call the police ¡­ She moved her hands. She was really tied up tightly without any gaps. She also felt that her pocket was empty, if she was not mistaken. Hermunication device must have been taken by Wang Xu. No one would be so stupid as to cause trouble for themselves ¡­ What should she do then? should she just sit here and wait for death? she had nothing in her hands now, so she couldn¡¯t call the police. It seemed like she could only sit there and wait for someone toe and save her after realizing that she was missing. Didn¡¯t Zheng Zeyi ask someone to protect her? it seemed like she could only wait for that person to realize that she was in danger.

However, just as joesse had that hope in her heart, the door opened. The person who came in was exactly the person that joesse wanted to see. He was the person who would definitely look for Zheng Zeyi to save her if he found out that she had been kidnapped. After conversing with Wang Xu, Joes finally realized how silly her expectations were. The two of them were on the same side, yet she was actually hoping for such nonsense. He was even more anxious after he discovered this. No one could save him now. He did not know how long it would take for Zheng ze to find out. He also did not know why they had kidnapped him. ¡°What do you want? what do you get from kidnapping me?¡± Joes questioned. Wang Xu did not answer him. He just stood there quietly. He could not let Joes know what their final goal was, or it would not be fun. Joes became even more flustered when she saw that the other party did not respond. If she did not say anything, she would not know what was the scariest thing. It was impossible to make them defect. ¡°Do you want money? I can give you as much as you want, as long as you let me go first. However much money you want, I¡¯ll immediately prepare it and send it to you. ¡± Joes tried to persuade him. However, Wang Xu did not even care about joesse. He had his reasons for kidnapping her. He would only be at ease if he fought for what he wanted. He did not believe anything that others said. The best way was to ignore her for now. Wang Xu did not answer joesse¡¯s question, but he still locked her up and went outside, not intending to bother with her. This girl was very smart. If he could not help but talk to her, it would be his fault if he was tricked into revealing the truth. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Joes did not waste any more time. She observed the environment and could tell that it was a temporary abandoned factory. It was not their base camp at all. They would definitely transport her to other ces in the future ¡­ No way, she could not just sit and wait for her death. Qiao si thought of a way to untie the rope and find her phone. She wanted to call Zheng Zeyi to inform him, but the process of untying the rope caused the chair to fall to the ground identally. She hit her head and blood started to flow. Themotion quickly attracted Wang Xu¡¯s attention. When he saw the scene, he was stunned. What was going on? why was he bleeding all of a sudden? this was a bad start.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have left joesse here alone and caused trouble for himself. Looking at this scene, he was very anxious, but he couldn¡¯t make up his mind. He would call his boss first and see what he said. In the end, the boss actually told him not to care. Let him bleed, just let him bleed. He didn¡¯t even need to do a simple dressing. Wang Xu was stunned when he heard this. This bleeding wasn¡¯t something that could be done casually. It looked like a lot, but if this continued, he would bleed to death. If that happened, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as kidnapping. He couldn¡¯t just ignore his boss. If something happened, he would be responsible. It was better to send her to the hospital first. Wang Xu immediately sent joesse to a deserted hospital. The doctor saw that the situation was handled quickly and that she was fine because she was sent in time. Wang Xu felt that it was too unsafe to stay outside. It was very easy for others to notice that something was wrong. He wanted to discharge joesse as soon as possible, but the doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital for one more day to see if she had an infection. Normal family members would agree for the sake of their family¡¯s health. ¡°There¡¯s no need,¡± Wang Xu insisted.¡±Since he¡¯s fine, he should be discharged. Arrange for him to be discharged immediately.¡± This action made the doctor suspicious. However, even if the other party wanted to leave, the doctor could not force him to stay and be hospitalized. However, the situation was not right. The doctor secretly called the police and Wang Xu sensed that something was wrong. He quickly sent Joes to the car and drove away from the hospital. It was really troublesome. The doctor was really nosy. What did it have to do with him? although his intuition was right, he was really being nosy. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have to leave in such a hurry. Zheng Zeyi had just finished his meeting and thought of Qiao sisi. He wondered how the little girl was doing shopping and if she had returned home. If she wanted to continue shopping, he would go and pick her up. The first thing he did when he went out was to call her, but he realized that the call did not go through at all. What was going on? Zheng ze frowned as he looked at the phone that could not be reached, and he started to Mutter in his heart. Could something have happened? As soon as he thought of this, he quickly called the person he had asked to protect Joes, but he realized that the other party was not picking up his phone. What the hell was going on? he was not picking up his phone ¡­ No, something might have really happened. The people he called over were useless. They couldn¡¯t even deal with a viin and let sisi get into trouble. If something really happened, they wouldn¡¯t know how to call him. It¡¯s useless to say anything now. Let¡¯s call the police first. It might be more efficient to let the police handle it ¡­ Sisi, nothing must happen to you. Wait for me. When the police received the call, they rushed to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s ce and asked about the specific situation. Zheng Zeyi told the police about the specific situation and where the person might be. Finally, he took out the photo in his phone and showed it to the police. ¡°It¡¯s this woman. She¡¯s very pretty and very recognizable. People who have seen her usually don¡¯t forget her so quickly. She¡¯s my wife. She doesn¡¯t answer my calls and I¡¯m afraid that something has happened to her.¡± Zheng Zeyi said with a frown. When a police officer saw the photo, he immediately took out his phone and opened the WeChat message to the doctor. He said to Zheng Zeyi,¡±¡±Just now, a doctor came to report that a man took a very beautiful woman to the hospital. It would be better for the woman to stay in the hospital for observation because of her head injury, but the man was sneaky and refused to do so. Could it be the same person?¡± Zheng Zeyi frowned and passed the photo to the police officer. Although he was unhappy that his woman¡¯s photo was given to another man, this was a special situation and he could not be willful. He had to find the person first. The police officer sent the photo to the doctor after receiving it. The doctor responded immediately after seeing the photo. It was this woman. Zheng Zeyi was very unhappy. How dare someone be so arrogant and hit her just like that?
She must not let him find out who kidnapped Joes. Otherwise, he would definitely not let that person off easily. Now, in order to find more clues, he had to go to that hospital. He had to check the surveince cameras to find out who that person was before continuing his next move. Zheng Zeyi immediately went to the garage to get his car and drove to the hospital. The hospital was very remote and he could only hope that sisi would be fine. As for the others, he would deal with them after sisi returned ¡­ Just like the person he had hired.

Zheng ze¡¯s heart ached when he found out that Qiao si si was injured. He had never thought that Qiao si si would suffer such an injury. Hence, they all mmed their fists on the wall, wishing that they could be by Joes ¡®side right now. Hence, he decided to look for Joes at this time. Suddenly, his phone rang. Zheng Zeyi was a little confused as he did not know who was calling. Therefore, he hung up the phone immediately. However, he did not expect her to call him again at this time. Zheng Zeyi was a little impatient. He did not know what this meant at all. Did she not feel a little annoyed that she was calling him? If they did not find it annoying, Zheng Zeyi was. Hence, his tone was a little impatient. ¡°Can you stop calling me? I still have things to deal with.¡± Zheng Zeyi said this directly. When he said this, the confinementdy was sessfully frightened, but the child¡¯s cries could be heard from the confinementdy¡¯s side. Therefore, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s tone also rxed a little. He didn¡¯t expect this person to be the confinementdy who called him. What was the purpose of her calling him now? ¡°Actually, I really want to know what¡¯s going on. Why did I hear it? was it the child¡¯s cry?¡± When the confinementdy heard this, she immediately told Zheng Zeyi that her son was crying and begging for this mother. The confinementdy had no choice but to call Zheng Zeyi. If there was such a way, the confinementdy would never bother Zheng Zeyi. ¡°Didn¡¯t you try tofort the child just now?¡±
How could the confinementdy notfort the child when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words? It was just that he couldn¡¯tfort the child at all just now. If he could, things wouldn¡¯t have turned out like this. ¡°Just now, I had alreadyforted the child, but I didn¡¯t expect the child to continue crying here. So at thisst moment, I had no choice but to call you, Sir.¡± The nanny¡¯s tone was filled with grievance. She had never thought that this child would be so difficult to coax. He had been missing his mother and talking about her all this time. No matter how much he consoled her, it was useless. Auntie Yue sighed helplessly in her heart. However, no matter how much she sighed, the matter had already happened. She had to find a way to solve it. If she didn¡¯t solve this matter, she was afraid that ¡­ When Zheng ze heard the nanny¡¯s words, he instantly felt a little helpless. At the same time, he heard his son shouting loudly for his mother. Qiao sisi was also injured, how could Zheng ze bring her back? ¡°You can rest there for a while. I¡¯ll tell youter when I think of this method. You don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± When the confinementdy heard this, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zheng Zeyi had already spoken. If only Zheng Zeyi had not said anything. The confinementdy did not know what to do with this little descendant. She did not know why this little descendant had been asking for her mother all day. She did not even know where the madam was now. In the end, they hung up the phone because no matter what, the most important thing now was to find someone who could appease the child. Therefore, they directly called his grandfather. ¡°By the way, I hope that you can coax this child. After all, this child has been crying all this time. Even Auntie won¡¯t be able to coax this child this month. Moreover, Jossi still has things to do at the moment, so I hope that you can coax this child.¡± When the grandfather heard this, he naturally expressed that he was willing to coax the child. Therefore, he told Zheng Zeyi everything at thest moment so that he could be at ease and not be too worried. In the end, he just went to coax her. This child was indeed much more obedient with his grandfather¡¯spany. Therefore, Zheng Zeyi also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child had stopped crying. If he had cried again, he would not know what to do. However, the most important thing right now was to find Joes. Hence, he had been searching for her all this while. However, they did not expect that they would not be able to find any traces of Joes in the end. They could not help but have some thoughts in their hearts. What should they do now? He probably did not even find any traces of Jossi. At this moment, their moods were rather low. They did not know what to do next as they could not find Joes¡¯s bottomne at all. Suddenly, he thought of Anna Chen. He seemed to have a hacker friend. Perhaps he could find out about Joes¡¯s whereabouts through this hacker friend. Who knows, he might even be able to find her. Hence, he immediately called Anna Chen.
Chen Anna, who was busy doing something, suddenly saw her phone ring, so she quickly picked it up. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to call her. She was a little confused as to why Zheng Zeyi would call her out of the blue. After the final inquiry, Chen Anna finally found out the reason why Zheng Zeyi called her. She had never expected that Joes¡¯s horn would be missing. Therefore, he told Zheng Zeyi that he would contact his hacker friend very soon. He would definitely find Joes to reassure Zheng Zeyi. After all, his hacker friend¡¯s skills were also here.
Zheng Zeyi nodded and hung up the phone. He waited quietly for Chen Anna¡¯s news. Chen Anna had also contacted her hacker friend directly. Unexpectedly, her hacker friend had replied to her within seconds. She had already sent him the message. Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Position

Anna Chen immediately got him to investigate Joes¡¯s location. No matter what, the most important thing now was to find out where Joes was. If they couldn¡¯t find her, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, they had already gotten this person to find out where Joes was. The hackers had also nodded their heads. As such, they continued to investigate the area and eventually found out where Joes was. ¡°I¡¯ve already found out about Joes¡¯s location. I¡¯ll send it to you now.¡± After she said that, Chen Anna was very happy. After all, she could finally find out Joes ¡®position now. She wondered how Joes was doing now. What if something happened to her? Therefore, when he clicked on this location, Zheng Zeyi and Chen Anna had already arrived at that ce. When they arrived, they saw Wang Xu as expected. Wang Xu had never thought that these people would arrive so quickly. He red at them fiercely. No matter what, he had the character ¡®human¡¯ in his hand. Even if these people wanted to deal with him, he would not be able to escape. He would probably have to take a look at the people in his hands. If they dared to hurt him, he would only need to use Joes to deal with them and they would definitely submit obediently. ¡°Why don¡¯t the two of us discuss a condition? I wonder if you¡¯re willing to discuss this condition with me?¡± Zheng Zeyi said this sentence without hesitation. When Zheng Zeyi finished speaking, Wang Xu also nced at him. Zheng Zeyi really wanted to know what Zheng Zeyi was going to discuss with him. What could they discuss? it seemed like there was nothing that could be discussed between them. Therefore, they had been looking at Zheng Zeyi coldly at this moment. When Zheng Zeyi suddenly saw this person¡¯s expression, he naturally remained calm. Even if he was cold, it did not matter to Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi had experienced so many things in the past. How could he be defeated by this person¡¯s gaze? If he were to be defeated like this, how would he be able to save Joes?
When Wang Xu saw Zheng Zeyi say that to him, he was naturally very happy. ¡°Are you sure you want to discuss this condition with me? Perhaps my condition is a little harsh. ¡± After he finished speaking, Zheng Zeyi immediately nodded his head. Therefore, Wang Xu immediately asked for an exorbitant price, as if he wanted to squeeze all of Zheng Zeyi¡¯s money out of him. However, to Zheng Zeyi, he had a lot of money. No matter how much money Wang Xu asked for, Zheng Zeyi was willing to give it to him. As long as Qiao Si was alive, she could still rise again. ¡°Since you want to discuss this condition with me, then let me think carefully about what kind of condition I want to propose to you.¡± After he said this, Zheng Zeyi also waited quietly at the side, quietly waiting for Wang Xu¡¯s answer. ¡°Of course you can. I just don¡¯t know if you can do it after I state this condition.¡± Wang Xu said this without hesitation. He also wanted to know if Zheng Zeyi could do this. Zheng Zeyi nodded without hesitation. After that, Wang Xu had already told him the money. Zheng Zeyi did not hesitate to say that he would hand it over to Wang Xu as soon as possible after the price. Wang Xu couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. He didn¡¯t think that he would be rich just like that. He couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. But even if he was surprised, this had happened. Zheng Zeyi had already called someone to send some of the money over. After the cash was sent over, he also hurriedly asked the person to leave to avoid Wang Xu regretting itter. What should he do then? Wang Xu¡¯s expression changed when he saw the box of money. He never thought that he would have so much money one day. ¡°If you throw this money to me now, you can¡¯t take a step forward. If you do, don¡¯t me me for not being polite.¡± Zheng Zeyi naturally did as Wang Xu said and threw the money over to him. ¡°What do you think now? I think that since I¡¯ve given you the money, you should return Jossi to me. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll return it to you just because you said so. What if you go back on your wordter? Hurry up and find a way for me to leave this ce. Once I¡¯m safe, I¡¯ll naturally return Joes to you. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he felt that Wang Xu¡¯s words made sense. Hence, in the end, he also arranged this escape route for this person. Only after he arranged this escape route would Wang Xu return Joes to him. At this time, Zheng Zeyi had also hurriedly gone to make arrangements. After making the arrangements, Wang Xu saw the boat and could not help but smile.
¡°Hmph, it seems that this woman is indeed more important. If she¡¯s not important, why would this man in front of me not only give me money, but also arrange for me to have a backup n?¡± Zheng Zeyi had already ced the boat behind him. When Wang Xu saw the boat, he also felt that he could leave now. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a few minutes. Get away from me now. I¡¯m ten meters away from you. If you don¡¯t leave, don¡¯t me me for pushing Joes into the sea. If I do, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll only be a corpse.¡± Zheng ze had never thought that after all the arrangements had been made for him, he would not let Jossi off at thest moment. Hence, Zheng ze was instantly infuriated. However, she was in his hands now, what could he do?
Therefore, he was a little speechless at this moment and still retreated. Chapter 763

At this point, Wang Xu knew that he had to find a way out. Therefore, he could not let Joes go now. If he did, wouldn¡¯t he be all alone? Hence, for his own safety, he brought Joes onto the ship. When Zheng ze saw that Wang Xu had already brought joesse onto the ship, he was actually a little anxious. This was because joesse had been standing there all this while with her eyes closed. He did not know what had happened to her. What if joesse was injured? what would he do then? Thest thing he wanted to see was Joes getting hurt. If Joes got hurt, he would be very sad. Chen Anna and Zheng Zeyi had been waiting there quietly for a very simple reason. They wanted to see if Wang Xu would let Joes go after they boarded the ship. If he released Joes, then everything would be fine. If he did not release Joes, Chen Anna would think that the person in front of her was a despicable person. He didn¡¯t expect that when Wang Xu arrived on the boat, people from all directions were already running towards him. When Wang Xu saw so many police officers, he was stunned and stopped what he was doing. ¡°Damn it, why do I feel like I¡¯ve been plotted against?¡± Wang Xu had already said this at this time. He had nned to run away, but he didn¡¯t expect one of the police officers to see through Wang Xu¡¯s thoughts. Therefore, they had already rushed in front of Wang Xu and sessfully subdued him. Their eyes were cold as they wanted to know what this person in front of them was nning to do. Could it be that he was nning to escape? With Wang Xu¡¯s current ability, he couldn¡¯t run away from so many police officers. Wang Xu couldn¡¯t help but curse in his heart. How did things turn out like this? if he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn¡¯t have listened to Zheng Zeyi and that woman when he was in Gansu.
If not, he would not have been caught by the police. Now that he was caught by the police, what else could he do? suddenly, he saw the unconscious Jossi. Hence, he decided to capture Jossi and use her as a hostage. However, the police officers did not grow up to be useless. Hence, they immediately went up to Jossi and separated the two of them. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a little ridiculous to y tricks in front of us?¡± When Wang Xu heard the police boss¡¯s words, he was instantly furious. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have done it. But now that it had happened, what could he do? ¡°Zheng Zeyi, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so despicable. Since you¡¯ve already done so, don¡¯t me me for taking revenge on you one day.¡± Wang Xu had already said this angrily. He had never thought that he would be plotted against by someone one day. Therefore, he was extremely angry at this moment. However, no matter how angry he was, what could he do? Zheng Zeyi was also standing there. He had been sessfully caught by the police. When Zheng ze saw that the person had been captured, he hurriedly went to look for joesse. However, joesse had been lying there the whole time, as if she had no intention of waking up. Hence, Zheng Zeyi was flustered at this moment. No matter what, he could not let anything happen to Joes. If anything happened to her, he would definitely regret it. No matter what, the most important thing now was to take a look at the hospital, as Joes had yet to wake up or tell him what had happened. Therefore, he had been thinking of this method at this moment. When he looked around, he suddenly saw a vehicle in the surroundings. He hurriedly carried Joes and ran to the vehicle. He threw Joes into the car and got into the car just like that. The most important thing now was to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. He didn¡¯t expect to bump into this big car so quickly. Fortunately, the driver of the big car stopped quickly. Otherwise, this disaster would have happenedter. Therefore, Zheng ze said coldly when they all looked at him. ¡°Why are you driving so fast? What if he identally caused a traffic identter? what should he do? Next time, don¡¯t drive so fast, young man. ¡± Zheng Zeyi had only apologized, but his mind was still on Qiao si. Therefore, they had already driven the car forward at this time. Their goal was very simple, which was to rush into the hospital. As long as they made it to the hospital, everything would be worth it. At the end of the day, they had all arrived at the hospital. When they arrived, Zheng ze carried Qiao si in his arms and kept saying that there were nurses in the hospital. When the patients saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s appearance, they were instantly shocked.
I didn¡¯t expect Zheng Zeyi to suddenly carry a woman and rush in front of me. They had all made way for him. If they didn ¡®t, wouldn¡¯t it be over if they were hitter? In the end, they all ran straight into the doctor¡¯s office. When the doctor saw the symptoms, he thought that it was a robbery. When he saw Zheng ze holding this woman in his arms, he heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, Qiao SI¡¯s entire body was checked. Fortunately, nothing happened during this final period, and Zheng Zeyi heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Anna had taken care of everything and rushed to the hospital. She could smell the strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital. However, to Anna Chen, the most important thing right now was to visit Joes. She wondered how Joes was doing now. . Chen Anna¡¯s boyfriend saw Chen Anna at this time and hurriedly ran to the front, so he had been following her. He couldn¡¯t help but think in his heart, running so fast, isn¡¯t he afraid of falling? However, from another perspective, it was clear that Chen Anna cared a lot about this Joes. When the two of them arrived at the ward, they could see that Zheng Zeyi had been guarding by joesse¡¯s side the whole time. Chen Anna saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s Haggard look at this moment and knew that Zheng Zeyi had been overwrought with joesse¡¯s matter for the past few days. Since he had not found Qiao sisi, how could Zheng Zeyi rest well? fortunately, he had found Qiao sidong at thest moment. He looked at the current time. What was going on? Why did he suddenly feel it? Joes had already slept for a few hours, but she was still not awake. Could it be an internal injury? ¡°Why has joesse already slept for a few hours? In the end, he still didn¡¯t wake up? Could something have happened? Where¡¯s the doctor? I¡¯m going to ask this doctor. ¡± Chen Anna had already said those words in a hurry. She did not expect that even after being unconscious for such a long time, Joes still had not woken up. If he didn¡¯t wake up, what would he do next? Therefore, they were a little anxious. However, even though they were anxious, this matter had already happened. Chen Anna¡¯s boyfriend saw that Chen Anna had been anxious the whole time. He sighed helplessly in his heart. After being together with Chen Anna for so long, they naturally knew that the most important person in Chen Anna¡¯s heart was actually Qiao si. Therefore, they reached out and patted Chen Anna¡¯s shoulder.
Chen Anna suddenly felt that someone was patting her shoulder, so she kept turning her head to look at this person. After seeing this, she didn¡¯t say anything. He was just a little confused. Why did this person suddenly Pat his shoulder? ¡°I think this Joes will wake up soon. Stay here and let her rest. She will definitely wake up.¡± Coincidentally, the doctor had also walked in. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the moment he walked in, he would be able to stand up and turn invisible. He had been staring at the doctor. The doctor was suddenly looked at like this, so he naturally panicked. When Zheng Zeyi and Chen Anna¡¯s boyfriend saw this life, they had the same thought. That was, the doctor was going to sufferter. Chen Anna would definitely ask the doctor a lot of questions, because she had already asked him everything just now. The doctor didn¡¯t expect that after he came in for a while, he would be pulled away and asked all kinds of questions. Therefore, at this moment, he was so surprised that he didn¡¯t know what to do. He had never thought that he would be pulled here and asked all sorts of questions the moment he came in. He didn¡¯t know what he was going to ask. Zheng Zeyi was even more worried about Qiao sisheng. If Qiao sisheng were to stay unconscious for the rest of her life, would she be no different from a vegetable? He did not wish for Jossi to never wake up. If Jossi did not wake up for the rest of her life, what should he do? Therefore, no matter what happened next, he had to wake up Joes. As long as Joes could wake up, there would be hope for his future. If there was no future for Joes, what use would this future be? Anna Chen, her boyfriend, and Zheng Zeyi had been staying here all this while. It seemed like they would only leave after Qiao si woke up. Thus, the three of them stayed there. Zheng ze saw that it was already sote, so he felt that the two of them should go back to rest instead of staying here. ¡°It¡¯s already sote. Actually, I think you guys should go back and rest. I¡¯m enough here. When he wakes up, I¡¯ll naturally call you guys, so you guys don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Chen Anna still had some other thoughts in her mind. No matter what, she still had to stay here and quietly wait for Joes to wake up. As long as Joes woke up, she would be able to put her heart at ease. If Joes did not wake up, she would not be able to sleep well at all. Therefore, they urged the two of them to go back quickly instead of staying here. At this final moment, the two of them had already gone back, leaving Zheng Zeyi alone here. Zheng Zeyi had been sitting there the whole time. He did not dare to sleep at all, for fear of being taken along. Or rather, if she wanted to do what she needed to do when she woke up, wouldn¡¯t she be unable to help Jossi if she was asleep? Hence, he had been sitting there all this while, quietly waiting for Jossi to wake up. However, he did not know how much time had passed, but he started to feel drowsy and fell asleep.
She did not expect to sleep all the way until the next day. By the time she opened her eyes in a daze and saw the dazzling light, she could not help but cover her eyes with her hands, feeling a little ufortable. When she had calmed down, her hand identally touched a very warm hand. She turned around and saw Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi had also woken up by now. He did not expect to fall asleep just like that. Qiao si si knew that Zheng Zeyi must have been watching over him the whole time and she was extremely touched.

At this moment, Joes also wanted to see her child. It had been so long since she had seen her child, and she wondered how he was doing. Therefore, they were all a little worried. They looked up and saw that Zheng Zeyi was suddenly frightened by joesse¡¯s fiery gaze. They immediately turned around to look at Joes, their hearts filled with doubt. What exactly had happened? ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Could it be that he wanted toe down and take a walk? If you want to leave, then I¡¯ll help you. ¡± Zheng Zeyi mumbled this sentence at this moment. He kept staring at joesse, wanting to know what she was going to do next. Moreover, many of them were just like that. They stared at him and didn¡¯t know what he was going to do. Anyway, no matter what he said, no matter what he was mainly doing, he would definitely apany him to the end. If I can¡¯t even cook with you, how can I be called a man? Hence, no matter what the woman nned to do next, he would do his best to help Joes. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t want toe down for a walk. I just wanted to discuss something with you, and I don¡¯t know if you would agree.¡± Zheng Zeyi had heard what joesse had said all of a sudden. He could not help but feel a little curious. What was it? What if I can¡¯t agree to it? ¡°What is it? I¡¯ll definitely help you as long as you tell me what it is that I can do. ¡± This was because to Zheng Zeyi, the smile that he wanted to see the most was on Qiao si SI¡¯s face. As long as Qiao si smiled, Zheng Zeyi felt that everything was worth it.
¡°Actually, I just want to see my child. After all, I haven¡¯t seen my child in such a long time, so I really want to see how he looks like. I wonder if you¡¯re willing to go back and bring the child over.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he knew that what joesse meant was that she missed her son. Thinking back, a while ago, this little brat had been crying there. ¡°So you want to see this son? If you want to see this son today, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go back and bring him here. ¡± Because no matter what, as a mother, how could she not be with her son? ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you must bring your son here as soon as possible. It¡¯s been so many days, I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s been eating and sleeping well.¡± When she heard this sentence, she was instantly speechless. How could it not have good words? The confinementdy took care of the child well. Before this, this son of his had always wanted to see Jossi. However, Joes was caught in the end and there was no way to meet her. Now that her son could see Joes, he would probably be very happy and look forward to their meeting. ¡°Do you want me to call Chen Anna over to apany you?¡± By the time she finished speaking, Joes had already shook her head. It was better to give the two of them some alone time. It was a little inappropriate to keep apanying her. After Joes heard those words, she immediately shook her head. She was no longer a three-year-old child, so why would she need Chen Anna to apany her? hence, she expressed that she no longer needed him to apany her like that, so she did not need to think too much about it. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry. I don¡¯t think you need to do this at all. Call Chen Anna over to apany me. You just need to do your own things right now. If I need anything, I¡¯ll call you immediately, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± Even though he was still a little worried about Joes, there were still things he needed to do on the other side. Hence, he would sometimes listen to Joes ¡®words and leave this ce. Zheng Zeyi made a trip back home to pick up the child. After all, the child had been crying all the time and wanted to see joesse. Coincidentally, both of them could see her now and they had also bought her food. When they arrived at the hospital, all the food was given to Joes, but this child actually wanted Joes to carry Zheng Zeyi. He immediately snatched the child over and took the initiative to carry him. ¡°Leave this child to me. You¡¯d better eat this thing quickly, in case it gets coldter.¡± After she said that, joesse felt that it made sense, so she did not carry the child. Instead, she handed the child over to Zheng Zeyi and ate there.
They didn¡¯t know why, but they also felt very happy and sweet. It was as if they had never had such thoughts before. When the children saw that the two of them were so harmonious and happy, they stopped crying and making a scene. They were giggling at the side as Zheng Zeyi and joesseughed when they saw their children. They couldn¡¯t help but feel that this might be the case, so the two of them began to chatter. At this time, someone had suddenly called him. He did not know who this person was, so Zheng Zeyi had some doubts in his heart. He did not know who this person was, but he actually called him at this time.
Just as Zheng Zeyi decided not to answer the call, he did not expect to see Zheng Zeyu calling him. He wondered why his brother, who had not contacted him for 800 years, would suddenly call him personally. At this moment, his brother naturally called Zheng Zeyi again and again. Zheng Zeyi was finally annoyed and answered the call. He did not expect his brother¡¯s first sentence to be that he had Joes. Zheng Zeyi could not help but be stunned. He had never expected this person to say such a thing. Chapter 766

Chapter 766: A sigh

Trantor:549690339

Naturally, Joes did not make this sound at this moment. After all, if she did, wouldn¡¯t ¡­ That was why Joes knew what she should and shouldn¡¯t do. Hence, she immediately went to look at Zheng Zeyi. It was clearly this brother who insisted on killing each other here. How were the others going to treat them? at this moment, Joes also felt a littleplicated. However, no matter howplicated it was, it was something that she could not manage. Joes felt helpless in her heart. She could only sigh silently at the side, listening to the two of them talk. Zheng Zeyi also took the opportunity to test his brother. This matter was naturally rted to Joes ¡®capture. He also wanted to know if his brother was involved in this matter. Therefore, he had this doubt in his heart. ¡®If my younger brother is involved, what should I do next?¡¯ ¡°I really want to know if Wang Xu was the one who caught Joss.¡± Zheng Zeyi had already said this. When Zheng Zeyu heard what Zheng Zeyi said, he did not think much about it. Instead, he immediately expressed that it was Wang Xu who caught Qiao sisi and that Wang Xu was his man. ¡°I thought that brother didn¡¯t know that someone had captured Joes. I didn¡¯t expect that he would still find out in the end. Actually, you and I are brothers, and I don¡¯t want to make this matter too ugly.¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he could not help but feel a little sarcastic. What did he mean by ¡®don¡¯t make it too ugly¡¯? ¡°Little brother, don¡¯t you think that your words are a little sarcastic? I don¡¯t know why big brother feels that it¡¯s a bitughable. ¡± When he said this, Zheng Zeyu had also heard what Zheng Zeyi said. He could not help but have a myriad of thoughts in his heart. He naturally understood what Zheng Zeyi meant.
Even if he was a little angry now, what could he do? anyway, this had already happened, and there was nothing he could do to change it. Since that was the case, there was no need to struggle anymore. In any case, he could only listen to his own words. ¡°I really want to know that you captured your sister-inw like this, does your conscience not hurt? I also want to know that you¡¯re not the only one who¡¯s involved in this. ¡± However, as soon as he heard this, he could not help but think in his heart. If he told Zheng Zeyi about his father, would Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart be very heartbroken? ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m not the only one who¡¯s involved in this. There are others who are also involved. I wonder if brother wants to know?¡± How could Zheng Zeyi not want to know after hearing this? At this time, Zheng Zeyi really wanted to know how Zheng Zeyu had done this. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you tell us who else is involved in this matter with you?¡± After hearing this, Zheng Zeyu. He told Zheng Zeyi directly, and his father was also involved in this matter. Of course, when he heard that his father was involved in this matter, his expression changed drastically. He had never thought that his father would be involved in this matter. Could it be that he was not his biological son? Or rather, in this father¡¯s eyes, she was not as important as Zheng Zeyu. He felt that it was a little ironic that he had never thought that in the eyes of this father, he was not as important as his younger brother. Perhaps in this Father¡¯s heart, he was not as important as his younger brother. Qiao si si had heard everything but she did not expect her father to be involved in this matter. Since his father was involved, Zheng Zeyi could not help but feel upset. Both of them could not help but reach out and put their hands on Zheng Zeyi ¡®S. Zheng Zeyi shook his head to show that he was fine. However, Qiao si si did not believe him because Zheng Zeyi would never show these things on his face. Instead, he would bear with it all by himself. Qiao si knew this. After that, he turned around and looked at the sky outside. As it was still early, he couldn¡¯t stand walking and watching everything here by the window. He didn¡¯t know what was going to happen next, but he knew what he had to persevere. No matter what, he had to persevere to the end and do all these things well, because only after he had persevered in this matter would he be able to make up his mind.
¡°Right, right, there¡¯s one more thing I haven¡¯t told you. It wasn¡¯t just father who did this. Actually, my girlfriend also helped me. If it weren¡¯t for my girlfriend, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have been able to do this.¡± Zheng Zeyi had never thought that they would be so despicable and shameless, so he felt extremely hateful at this moment. However, no matter how hateful they were, it had already happened, and they had to find a way to solve it. ¡°I¡¯ve really changed your world view. ¡± Zheng Zeyi couldn¡¯t help but blurt this out. When he said this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother had also heard it, but he shook his head to show that he had not refreshed Zheng Zeyi¡¯s world view. He was only doing what he should do.
¡°When we were topping up the ount, everyone thought that I couldn¡¯tpare to you at all. But no one knew that I was alreadyparable to you. If it wasn¡¯t because of your appearance, why would Grandpa and the others have their eyes on you? If you didn¡¯t appear, I think they would have set their sights on me. ¡± Zheng Zeyi naturally knew what this guy meant at this time. It was nothing more than him feeling that he should not appear in this world and that he was the only one who existed. By the time joesse found out that Yang Yue Yue had actually helped this person, her expression changed. Chapter 767

Chapter 767: Chapter 768-anger

Trantor:549690339

The moment Joes heard Yang Yue Yue¡¯s words, her expression changed drastically. She turned her head and looked outside. Her mind was in a mess, and she clenched her hands tightly. This was because she had never thought that things would turn out like this. She had never thought that Yang Yue Yue was involved in this matter. She had thought that Yang Yue Yue had already given up. He did not expect Yang Yue Yue to not give up at all in the end, so he could not help but feel a little angry at this time. However, even if he was angry, there was no way to change anything now. Just as Qiao Si was about to speak, Zheng Zeyi had already seen through her n. Therefore, he had already stopped Joes. How could he let Joes ruin this n? hence, no matter what, he definitely could not let Joes ruin this n. Zheng Zeyi immediately made a shushing gesture. When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s expression, she already knew that Zheng Zeyi definitely had his own thoughts at this moment. Hence, she did not say anything more at this final moment. Instead, he sat quietly at the side, waiting for Zheng Zeyi¡¯s next words. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to agree to her brother¡¯s conditions. Hence, Qiao Si was extremely shocked. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to agree to it so easily. When the man heard that his brother had agreed to all his conditions, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little ridiculed. He didn¡¯t expect that in his brother¡¯s heart, he would feel that his brother had already agreed to his conditions. As expected, he was still very concerned about Joes. If her brother did not care about Joes, he would not have agreed to her unreasonable request. Zheng Zeyi and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s younger brother were still chatting. Naturally, Qiao sisi heard everything clearly.
When Zheng Zeyu heard that Zheng Zeyi had agreed to this matter, he was overjoyed. As long as he saw that Zheng Zeyi had agreed to this matter, he would be extremely happy. At the end of the day, they had reminded Zheng Zeyi again and again that he must not forget about this matter. Because no matter what, Zheng Zeyi had already agreed to this matter, so she had to remind him several times. This Zheng Zeyi could not let him forget about this matter. Didn¡¯t this mean that everything was ruined? However, how could someone like Zheng Zeyi, who cared so much about Qiao si, forget her existence? Zheng Zeyi and Zheng Zeyu had also hung up the phone at this time. When Joes saw that the two of them had already hung up the phone, she already had this thought in her heart. ¡°Why did you agree to your brother¡¯s condition?¡± Joes was also confused as she said this. She had no idea why Zheng ze would agree to his brother¡¯s impolite condition. If it were her, she would never agree to his brother¡¯s impolite condition. That was why Joes had asked the question without any hesitation. To Joes, she was not even willing to pretend to be someone who did not know anything. No matter what, there was only one important thing left. He had to ask Zheng Zeyi why he had promised his brother this. He would only know what was going on after he asked. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know why I agreed to my brother¡¯s request? I think you should be able to understand why I agreed to my brother¡¯s condition in the future. ¡± Zheng ze knew how much Qiao si si hated Yang Yue Yue. However, no matter how much she hated Yang Yue, there was only one thing they could do now, and that was to endure. There was nothing else they could do. ¡°How would I know why you would agree to your brother¡¯s condition? You clearly know that I don¡¯t have any good feelings for your brother or Yang Yue Yue. ¡± How could Zheng Zeyi possibly have such a good impression of the two of them? When they thought of the two of them, they felt angry. Because these two people were also in cahoots, and they were even working together. He remembered what they had done to Qiao si si previously. He was very angry because to Zheng Zeyi, his bottom line was Qiao si. Zheng Zeyi could allow anyone to do things against him, but he would not allow these people to do anything against Qiao si si. Since these people had already done such an excessive thing, then he would definitely pay them back in every way possible. He would let them taste the consequences of their own actions. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes were already filled with a smile. However, when Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi¡¯s smile, she was a little confused. Why did he suddenly have this smile in his eyes after so many years? Therefore, they were all very puzzled.
¡°They might know that nothing you do is better than you. Just tell me directly now. Don¡¯t y this riddle. I also want to know why you agreed to their request.¡± Qiao si Jiao said this to Zheng Zeyi expressionlessly. She really wanted to know what Zheng Zeyi meant. Zheng Zeyi did not expect that joesse would not know what he meant. Hence, he walked over to joesse and sat beside her. ¡°Actually, the purpose of my actions is very simple. My purpose is to capture my brother and my father in one fell swoop.¡±
Zheng Zeyi had also said this seriously. When Qiao si heard this, she could roughly guess what Zheng Zeyi meant. It was nothing more than to capture both his brother and his father in one fell swoop. From then on, they would no longer be a threat to Zheng Zeyi. ¡°No matter what, you have to be patient from now on. You can¡¯t do this anymore.¡± Joes sighed and finally agreed. Chapter 768

Chapter 768: Nodding

Trantor:549690339

Qiao si already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant, so when she saw the look in his eyes, she immediately nodded. Since Zheng Zeyi had already decided to do this, she would definitely cooperate with him. After all, whatever Zheng Zeyi did should be right. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already decided to do this, I¡¯ll agree to it.¡± Zheng Zeyi was in disbelief when he heard this. He had never expected that Qiao sisi would agree to it just like that. It was as sweet as honey. ¡°I never thought that you would agree to all these things. You gave me a big shock.¡± When Qiao si heard this, she already knew what Zheng Zeyi meant. In the end, she shook her head and expressed that she would cooperate with Zheng Zeyi no matter what he wanted to do. Moreover, he really wanted to capture all of them in one fell swoop and let them spend their time in this prison. He wanted to see if they would still dare to be so arrogant in the future. After that, Joes had stayed in this house and did not go anywhere else. If they were to leave this ce, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, the most important thing was to stay in this house. Otherwise, it would definitely bring Zheng Zeyi some unnecessary trouble. At the same time, they also called Chen Anna. Chen Anna was cooking in the kitchen when she suddenly heard her phone ring. He never thought that his phone number would be remembered at this time, so he had some doubts in his heart. But no matter how doubtful he was, what could he do? Therefore, they had all rushed to the living room to pick up the call. They did not expect that it would be Jossi who had called.
She had some doubts in her heart. Could something have happened to Joes? if nothing had happened, why would she suddenly call her? Therefore, at this moment, she hurriedly answered the call. She did not expect to hear Joes ¡®voice when she answered, so she asked directly. Joes had already told her everything she wanted to say to Chen Anna. After Chen Anna heard Joes¡¯s words, she roughly understood what she meant. Therefore, he had already informed Joes at this moment so that she would not have to worry too much. He already knew how to do these things well, so Joes did not have to worry too much. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you don¡¯t have to worry too much about this matter if it¡¯s up to me. Besides, I definitely won¡¯t expose you guys. After all, I¡¯m not that stupid. ¡± After hearing Anna Chen¡¯s words, Joes¡¯s heart immediately rxed. After all, she knew her best friend¡¯s intelligence. Since her best friend had already said so, she naturally knew. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I won¡¯t say anything more. You must remember what I said today. You must not show that I¡¯ve returned.¡± Chen Anna knew the importance of this matter when she saw that Joes had been talking about it. She told Joes about it so that she would not have to worry about how she should handle it. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry too much. I know how to do these things well. You just don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Qiao sisi had heard everything as well. Her best friend had already made her promise, and her best friend¡¯s IQ was also very high, so in the end, she did not say anything more and hung up the phone. Zheng Zeyi had already returned and was looking at Qiao sisi. ¡°Were you on the phone with Chen Anna just now?¡± Zheng Zeyi asked directly. Joes did not hide anything and nodded. She was indeed on the phone with Anna Chen. ¡°Didn¡¯t you n to do that? so I told Chen Anna and asked her to pretend that I didn¡¯te back. I think those people won¡¯t be suspicious.¡± Because as the saying goes, the act must beplete. If the act was notplete, wouldn¡¯t it be self-destruction? After Anna Chen hung up the phone, she also called her boyfriend and told him about it. When her boyfriend heard it, he would tell Anna Chen directly and know what to do. When Chen Anna¡¯s boyfriend heard this, he was also quite impressed by this Joes. He had never thought that Joes and Zheng Zeyi would have such thoughts. However, since Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi had such thoughts, they only needed to cooperate with them. Therefore, they agreed to their girlfriends at thest moment. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already agreed to this, I won¡¯t say anything more. After all, Joes asked me to pass on this message, and I¡¯ve already done it.¡±
After that, the two of them chatted for a while. In the end, they hung up the phone. After the phone call was hung up, Chen Anna continued to do what she was supposed to do. Zheng Zeyi had already arrived at thepany the next day. Since he was here, he must be doing what he had to do. When Zheng ze came to thepany, he did things that would make people suspicious. He was also preparing some procedures here, but the person who was hiding in the dark went in directly and told Zheng Zeyu everything. Zheng Zeyu was naturally very happy to hear these words. He didn¡¯t expect Zheng Zeyi to really go through the relevant procedures as he said. It seemed that thispany would belong to him in the near future.

Zheng Zeyu had also gone to find yang Yueyue at this time. Yang Yueyue was busy with some things when she suddenly saw a shadow behind her, so she had some doubts in her heart. At that time, she really wanted to know who hade behind her, so when she turned her head, she did not expect it to be a man. When they saw the smile on Zheng Zeyu¡¯s face, they could roughly guess that the man must have encountered something that made him happy. Otherwise, why would he be in such a state? ¡°There¡¯s something that I¡¯m very happy about, and I want to tell you about it. I really want you to be happy.¡± Yang Yue Yue¡¯s heart was filled with doubt. She did not know what could have made this man so happy. Could it be that he had already seeded? However, he felt that it was impossible. ¡°You don¡¯t know this, but Zheng Zeyi, who is my so-called brother, never thought that he would actuallypromise with me. Did you know?¡± At that time, he had been sessful inpromising, which had shocked Zheng Zeyu. However, he had never thought that his brother would actuallypromise sessfully for a woman. If it were him, how could he possibly agree? ¡°Do you think Zheng Zeyi has already agreed to this matter? has hee down?¡± Zheng Zeyu nodded his head without any hesitation. Moreover, he had already recorded this voice at that time. The purpose was very simple. It was to confirm that this matter had really happened. ¡°Are you sure Zheng Zeyi has already agreed to this? Why do I feel like I can¡¯t believe it?¡± Yang Yue Yue said this directly because a cunning person like Zheng Zeyi would not agree to this so easily.
Unless Zheng Zeyi was a fool, he would not agree to all these things. However, Zheng Zeyi was not a fool at all. ¡°I don¡¯t think Zheng Zeyi is a fool. Why would he agree to it? I think you should be more careful.¡± However, since Yang Yue Yue had already said that, he would know what she meant in the future. Could it be that this potato also looked down on him? Thus, their expressions changed drastically at this moment. ¡°Don¡¯t you believe what I said? I¡¯ve already told you, and Zheng Zeyi has already agreed to it. Why do you still not believe me?¡± When Yang Yue Yue heard this, she instantly felt a little helpless. It was not that she did not believe Zheng Zeyu. It was just that Zheng Zeyi was too cunning. In the past, she had suffered so many losses because of Zheng Zeyi. That was why she had to give this man this reminder. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve suffered the same fate in the past, so I¡¯m here to remind you.¡± When he said this, they felt that this person was looking down on them. Therefore, they were already a little angry at this moment. They were a little far away from Yang Yue Yue. Yang Yue Yue also saw Zheng Zeyu¡¯s appearance and could not help but feel a little headache. He suddenly felt that this person¡¯s arrogance was too great, and he was as stupid as a pig. Everyone would only follow one person and be as stupid as a pig. She was afraid that this was the only person who could do that. She had said all this for Zheng Zeyu¡¯s own good, but in the end, this man still felt that she was looking down on him. After this man suffered a loss, he would naturally know whether what she said was right or wrong. ¡°No matter what, I¡¯ve already said this to you. Besides, Zheng Zeyi has always been like this. You¡¯ve never interacted with him before, but I¡¯ve only interacted with someone as smart and witty as Zheng Zeyi. How could he have agreed to it just like that?¡± However, when he heard this, he was definitely a little dissatisfied, so he stood up directly. ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that I¡¯ve already settled everything for you, but you still don¡¯t believe me. You¡¯ve even emphasized this problem again and again.¡± Zheng Zeyu was also very impatient. Yang Yue Yue looked at the scene in front of her and could not help but feel a little depressed. She also felt that this person was no different from that blockhead. He was clearly helping this person, but at thisst moment, this person still felt that he was harming him. If this wasn¡¯t a fool, what was? Zheng Zeyu also thought about it in his mind. He thought that his future days would definitely be very smooth, so he stood up at this time. After all, staying here and looking at Yang Yue Yue¡¯s expression made him very angry. He did not know why this woman had to show such an expression.
Yang Yue Yue had actually seen Zheng Zeyu at this time. When she saw Zheng Zeyu¡¯s expression and his look as if he was about to leave, she could not help but have some doubts in her heart. Where were they going in the middle of the night? ¡°Where do you n to go thiste at night?¡± With that said, Zheng Zeyu turned his head and nced at yang Yueyue. He had no intention of talking to her, because where he was going had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, this woman had also given him a blow just now. How could he possibly be nice to Yang Yue Yue?
¡°Where I go has nothing to do with you. You just need to mind your own business. Don¡¯t mind my business.¡± When Yang Yue Yue heard this, she knew that she couldn¡¯t do anything about it now. So, she didn¡¯t say anything at the end. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s brother was also feeling proud of himself at this time. He had already left the ce. As soon as he came outside, he would call his lonely friends. In the end, he asked arge group of friends to go to the bar for a drink. Chapter 770

Chapter 770: The expression

Trantor:549690339

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyu had drunk too much by ident. His face was slightly red, and his friends had already seen his expression. He couldn¡¯t help but smile. As expected, he was more concerned. If he had forced him to drink so much wine, he should be very sober now. They could only me this man. He deserved it. Hence, they all called him ¡°man¡± at this moment. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyu only responded with an ¡°en¡±. However, at this moment, his mind was a little muddled, so his friends had also bewitched men to take in a little bit of good stuff. When Zheng Zeyu saw the thing in front of him, he did not think much about it. Instead, he took a deep breath. He didn¡¯t expect that there would be something special about it that he couldn¡¯t exin clearly. ¡°What is this?¡± Zheng Zeyu had already said this at this time, but as soon as he said this, his friends also told him that this was a good thing. Nan en also believed it immediately and started smoking again. When the friend saw the scene in front of him, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little happy in his heart. He was indeed a stupid person. If this person wasn¡¯t stupid, how could things be like this? He patted his hands and directly threw Zheng Zeyu to the side. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. He immediately snorted coldly, but he did not expect to see Zheng Zeyu moving again. He did not pay any more attention to him. ¡°I thought he was very powerful. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so weak at thest moment.¡±
Moreover, after seeing this person¡¯s appearance, he felt that he had fed him too little. Therefore, at thest moment, he directly shook this person again. Zheng Zeyu was also shaken until he felt a little light-headed. Therefore, at this time, they had already told him not to take them. However, they didn¡¯t expect that this person would continue to shake them. Suddenly, they saw the thing in this person¡¯s hand. He took the thing in the man¡¯s hand and took a deep breath without hesitation. He suddenly felt that the smell was quite simr to the one just now. However, his friends were also shocked at this time. They didn¡¯t expect this person to directly bring these things over. If he sucked them like this, then so be it. What did it have to do with them? She didn¡¯t ask him to suck it, he came to snatch it himself. He did not know how much time had passed. Very quickly, Zheng Zeyu had also woken up at this time. He instantly felt that something was not right with him. However, he could not tell what was wrong, so Zheng Zeyu had some doubts in his heart. ¡°Why do I suddenly feel like my body is floating? I¡¯ve already taken a look at my body, and I suddenly feel that something is wrong. And this thing in my hand.¡± Zheng Zeyu muttered to himself. However, he didn¡¯t expect that after thinking for a long time, he still couldn¡¯t remember anything, because his brain was a ball of paste. However, these people were also dancing happily here. Zheng Zeyu saw that these people were dancing here and there. He instantly felt a headache and staggered. He stood up just like that, but in the end, he fell to the ground with a plop. He had never thought that the consequences would be so great. If he had known that this would happen, he would not have done what he had done. However, it was useless to regret it now. After all, it had already happened, and he could not change anything. ¡°You¡¯re awake. Since you¡¯re awake, why don¡¯t you try it again here? what do you think?¡± At this time, his friends had already taken the item and handed it to Zheng Zeyu. Zheng Zeyu looked at the item and could not help but fall into deep thought. He had been hesitating. Since what was done was done, there was nothing he could do to change it. Since there was no way to change it, he could only continue. Therefore, at thest moment, he directly took the things from his friend¡¯s hands and began to indulge without any hesitation. Moreover, his face also carried this smile. This was the first time he had felt so happy and rxed in such a long time. How good would it be if the days toe were like this? Unfortunately, things did not turn out as he wished. The most important thing now was to get rid of Zheng Zeyi first. As long as he got rid of Zheng Zeyi, his beautiful days woulde. Thinking of this, his heart felt as sweet as honey, so he yed with his friends here.
As the saying goes, one must be happy when one is pleased with life. Now that he hade here, he must have some fun. Anyway, he had already done these things. Even if he continued to do them, it wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. Hence, he was dancing with his friends at this time. His phone was also ringing, but Zheng Zeyu did not care about his phone at all. These friends saw that the man had woken up and was still dancing with them, so they continued to drag Zheng Zeyu to eat some food. Zheng Zeyu did not think much about it and ate it directly. However, the food was quite delicious. They had been letting themselves go all this time. What they didn¡¯t expect was that someone seemed to be watching them from a distance. They didn¡¯t know what this person¡¯s purpose was, and Zheng Zeyu and the rest didn¡¯t notice this person¡¯s existence.
On the other side, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father was also being seduced. He was also enjoying it. His phone was also on silent mode. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father looked at the woman beside him, and his eyes could not help but shine. Chapter 771

Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi were also spending time together in this house, but they did not expect the baby to suddenly start crying. ¡°Oh my God, why is this baby crying again at this time?¡± Zheng Zeyi was a little speechless as he said this. However, even if he said this, the baby could not just stay here like this. Anyway, the baby had been crying here, and there was nothing he could do to change it. Hence, Joes had already stood up and put on the shoe tofort the baby. After all, she could not possibly let the baby cry here. In the end, they managed to calm the baby down. However, when the two of them continued to be intimate, the baby started crying again. They instantly felt a sharp pain in their heads. They had no idea why they were crying here. ¡°I think this child is doing this on purpose. If he didn¡¯t do it on purpose, why is he crying and making a fuss here?¡± However, no matter how much she cried, what could she do? it had already happened anyway. Even in her final moments, joesse tried tofort the child once again. Unexpectedly, at the end, the child was still the crying Zheng Zeyi. He felt that there was only one thing he could do at this point. However, he could only contact his grandfather for this matter. Only by contacting him and handing the child over to him would he and Joes be able to do some things in this family peacefully. At the end of the day, he called his grandfather. When his grandfather picked up the phone, he was a little confused and had no idea what was going on.
¡°Grandpa, you cane to my ce to pick up this child. After all, this child is in my way too much.¡± By the time he said this, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather had already understood what Zheng Zeyi meant. Therefore, if she told Zheng Zeyi at thest moment, she might as well keep the child with her. In the end, they also came to Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s house. Seeing Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi¡¯s home, which was so warm, they could not help but feel some joy in their eyes. ¡°Why didn¡¯t this child cry after I came?¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather said this in confusion. However, after he said this, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi looked at each other. ¡°We don¡¯t know either. Why did the child stop crying after you came? we were just crying and throwing a tantrum. We didn¡¯t know what to do.¡± Therefore, they had already said this sentence helplessly. They couldn¡¯t help but feel that this child seemed to have done it on purpose. At this moment, Qiao sisi also felt that this child seemed to have done it on purpose. No wonder Zheng Zeyi simply got up just now and took out this phone to call Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather. However, this child also looked quite smart, and was a little different from the other children. However, after thinking about it, this child was also Zheng Zeyi¡¯s child. Zheng Zeyi was already so smart, so how stupid could the child be? After Grandpa picked up the child, he didn¡¯t expect the child to be giggling here. When he and Jossi saw that the child had been smiling the entire time, they instantly felt a little helpless. Since the child was already smiling, what else could they do? This was also his own child, so he couldn¡¯t just beat him up. Moreover, the child was still so young. If they were to abort the child, perhaps the child would be very afraid of them in the future. This was not what Jossi and Zheng ze wanted to see. ¡°You little guy, why didn¡¯t you cry after I came here?¡± The child blinked his big eyes and kept staring at Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi saw that the child was staring at him and could not help but feel a little helpless. However, there was nothing he could do about it since it had already happened. After all, no matter what, this child was the Apple of her eye. Since she was the Apple of her eye, she would definitely dote on her. Furthermore, this child had not done anything outrageous. She had only interrupted her and Joes ¡®work.
¡°Grandpa, since you¡¯re here, I¡¯ll let you take care of this child.¡± When Grandpa heard this, everyone nodded. After all, Zheng Zeyi had already said it over the phone. ¡°You want me to take care of this child? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely take good care of this grandson of mine. After all, I haven¡¯t taken care of him properly yet. ¡± Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather also knew why Zheng Zeyi had asked him to take care of his grandson. It was nothing more than the fact that he had interrupted the happy asion between him and Qiao sisi. He was concerned about anyone who had been disturbed. Such a happy asion should have made him very angry.
The reason why Zheng Zeyi was not angry was probably because this had disturbed them. His son was the one doing the good stuff, so he could not be angry. This little fellow looked very simr to Zheng Zeyi when he was young. Furthermore, he was as mischievous as Zheng Zeyi when he was young. He would probably be as smart as Zheng Zeyi in the future. However, so what if he was mischievous? the most important thing now was to quickly take the child away. Therefore, he had already taken the child away at thest moment, leaving Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si with an empty space between them. When Zheng Zeyi and Qiao si saw that the child had been taken away, their hearts were filled with joy. However, when Qiao si took another look, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s current expression made him sigh helplessly in his heart, because this guy looked just like a child. Qiao sisi had also asked Zheng Zeyi about this n, but Zheng Zeyi deliberately did not tell her. Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Can be stopped

Just as Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi were being lovey-dovey with each other, someone suddenly called Zheng Zeyi. Zheng Zeyi ignored the call at this time. After all, nothing could stop Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi from being lovey-dovey. ¡°You¡¯ve been thinking about this phone call. I think there must be something urgent. You should quickly answer it now. ¡± Zheng Zeyi nodded in agreement. In the end, they all picked up the phone. They had never expected that it would be this assistant who was calling. No matter what, they had to avoid Jessi and answer this call. He got off the bed and put on the clothes, then came to the living room. When joesse saw how secretive Zheng Zeyi was, she knew that she could not hear the contents of the phone call either. Hence, joesse did not think too much about it and just waited quietly for Zheng ze to return. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi had already picked up the call. The assistant also saw his cell phone at this time. After Zheng Zeyi had picked up the call, his eyes could not help but be filled with joy. ¡°Boss, you finally picked up the phone.¡± Zheng Zeyi could tell from his assistant¡¯s words that he was overjoyed. The only thing Zheng Zeyi wanted to know was whether this matter had been sessfully settled. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s only one thing I want to know. I want to see if you¡¯ve already seeded in your n.¡± When the assistant heard this, he did not hesitate to tell Zheng Zeyi that the process had beenpleted. Zheng Zeyi was still angry just now, but when he heard that the assistant hadpleted the process, he was immediately stunned. In the end, there was no longer any anger. Since the process was sessful, Zheng Zeyi would definitely be very happy.
¡°He thinks that your ability is quite good. He didn¡¯t expect that you would be able to handle this matter sessfully. Since you¡¯ve handled it sessfully, I¡¯ll definitely give you this reward.¡± When the assistant heard this, a smile instantly appeared in his eyes. He had never thought that Zheng Zeyi would give him such a reward. Therefore, he felt as if he was in a dream. However, even if it was just a dream, the CEO had already said it. There was a saying that a CEO could get twice the result with half the effort. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already nned it out, it¡¯s only natural that we start taking action. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of this n?¡± After he said this, the assistant also felt that what he said made sense, so he told Zheng Zeyi everything. He would work hard, so Zheng Zeyi did not have to worry too much. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll let you handle this matter first. I believe that you¡¯ll seed.¡± When the assistant saw that Zheng Zeyi trusted him so much, he was very happy. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s trust in Him meant one thing. Zheng Zeyi must be very confident in leaving this matter to him. If Zheng Zeyi was very confident in leaving this matter to him, then he must work hard. The assistant immediately started to think about what to do to make the n go through without being discovered. After Zheng Zeyi hung up the call, Qiao sisi kept her eyes on him, wanting to know what had happened. Zheng ze nced at joesse. He did not expect joesse to appear in front of him so suddenly. Could it be that joesse had heard everything that he had said? ¡°Did you hear what I just said?¡± Therefore, when she heard Zheng Zeyi¡¯s words, she immediately shook her head, indicating that she had not heard what they had just said. ¡°Are you telling me some secrets that you can¡¯t let me know?¡± Therefore, he shook his head when he heard this. How could it be a secret? She just wanted to deal with Zheng Zeyu. After all, Zheng Zeyu was so arrogant. If she didn¡¯t deal with him, she would be letting him down. Joesse saw the clear glint in Zheng ze¡¯s eyes. It seemed like he had not done anything to let her down, so he definitely did not say anything more at the end. After all, she did not like to get to the bottom of things. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you do, but you have to protect yourself.¡± Qiao sisi had already said this because no matter what, Zheng Zeyi had to protect himself well because he was safe now.
However, if Zheng Zeyi wanted to do these things, he would definitely encounter these dangers. Just as Zheng Zeyi had said, he did not want to be in danger. Naturally, joesse did not want Zheng Zeyi to be in danger. Zheng ze naturally understood what joesse meant when he heard her. Hence, he reached out and ruffled joesse¡¯s head, expressing that he would definitely take good care of himself. Hence, joesse did not have to worry too much. When Qiao si saw Zheng Zeyi, she rubbed her head and could not help but stare at herself. Did she look like a child? After all, this was not the case.
¡°Stop touching my head.¡± At this moment, Qiao si had already rolled over and gotten up. She was nning to go to the kitchen to cook something for Zheng Zeyi. After all, he had not had a proper meal today. After that, they went to make food for Zheng Zeyi. On the other side, Zheng Zeyu and his friends were having fun and doing some dangerous things when the police came to their door. Moreover, they had captured all of them without hesitation. When they were suddenly captured, Zheng Zeyu was also shocked at this moment. When he saw the person clearly, he also appeared to be more obedient. Chapter 773

Chapter 773: Chapter 774

Trantor:549690339

Zheng Zeyu was not worried at all. Instead, there was a smile in his eyes. After all, even if he was caught, he still had his father. As long as he called his father, his father would definitelye to save him. Then, he would definitely be able to get out of here. However, the only thing that surprised Zheng Zeyu was that he had never expected the police to be here. Therefore, they had already called their father at this time, but they didn¡¯t expect that their father would not pick up at this time. Therefore, at this time, they had some other thoughts in their hearts. Why didn¡¯t their father pick up the phone? What should I do if I don¡¯t answer this call? Therefore, he had been a little anxious. However, no matter how anxious he was, it had already happened. ¡°Damn it, why aren¡¯t you picking up the phone? What am I going to do if I don¡¯t pick up this call?¡± Zheng Zeyu had already said this in a hurry. At this time, they were walking around and calling their father. However, they didn¡¯t expect that their father would not pick up the phone, so they felt a little dispirited. If he didn¡¯t pick up this call, would he really have to stay here today and not be able to go back? if he stayed here forever. This was not good. Therefore, no matter what, he had to get out of this police station. So, he called his father again, but he didn¡¯t expect that the number he dialed was already turned off. However, at this moment, she felt a little hopeless. She had been hoping in her heart that her father would quickly answer the phone.
As long as his father answered the phone, then his hope woulde. If his father didn¡¯t answer the phone, then he would lose all hope. Why didn¡¯t her father pick up the phone? Zheng Zeyu was also very anxious. However, no matter how anxious he was, there was no way to change anything now. Since his father did not pick up, he could only call his mother first. Zheng Zeyu thought that his mother would definitely not leave him alone. So, at this time, he had already called his mother. Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother was doing something at the moment. Suddenly, her phone rang, so she took out her phone. She didn¡¯t expect it to be Zheng Zeyu. Why would Zheng Zeyu suddenly call her at this time? did something happen? However, they suddenly heard the toot sound of the phone, so they knew that the mother had picked up the call. Instantly, they seemed to have seen hope. ¡°Mom.¡± Zheng Zeyu hurriedly called out to his mother. When Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother suddenly saw a man and called her so affectionately, she was instantly frightened. ¡°Did you encounter something?¡± When Zheng Zeyu suddenly heard this sentence, his eyes were already filled with smiles. Indeed, he had encountered such a thing. Sure enough, it was his mother who understood him better. If it was someone else, how could they understand him? ¡°Mom, I¡¯m at the police station. You shoulde here now. If you don ¡®t, I don¡¯t think I can go back.¡± As soon as she said this, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother was a little flustered. Why was she suddenly in the police station for no reason? therefore, she was also a little anxious at this time. Zheng Zeyu must have called his father. Perhaps his father had ignored the man, so he came to find her directly. In the end, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother hurriedly took the bag and left the house. In the end, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother also came to the police station and saw this. When the police were there, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother was actually very frightened. He was afraid that the police would not be willing to let his son outter, so he went to the police directly. When the police officers suddenly saw Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother, their expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other and knew what to do next. Zheng Zeyu saw that his mother was already here. Of course, he was very happy.
¡°Mom.¡± ¡°Mother!¡± Zheng Zeyu called out in a hurry. However, when the people around saw the scene in front of them, they were naturally a little speechless. How old were they? they actually called out ¡®mother¡¯ here. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother also turned to look at Zheng Zeyu, and her eyes were also smiling. When Zheng Zeyu saw his mother, he was extremely happy. After all, his mother was already here, which meant that he could be saved. If he said that he couldn¡¯t be saved, his mother wouldn¡¯t havee here. But why did these police still look so overbearing?
Now that his mother was here, why were these people still so arrogant? Therefore, he had some doubts in his heart. At this moment, the police also looked at the woman in front of them coldly. No matter what, the higher-ups had already ordered that Zheng Zeyu was not to be allowed to leave this ce. Hence, they would definitely enforce thew impartially and not let Zheng Zeyu leave this ce. After all, the man had already done something wrong. How could they let him leave like this? they were not fools. However, after that, Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother also went directly to the police to say these words. Perhaps she knew that the police would not listen to her words at all, so Zheng Zeyu¡¯s mother eventually used arge sum of money to sessfully redeem Zheng Zeyu. Chapter 774

Chapter 774: Chapter 775 drug addiction acting up

Trantor:549690339

Zheng ze counted the money that the Qiao family had bribed. This amount was not something that could be taken out in a short time. The Qiao family was really willing to do this for Qiao Feng. This time, the Qiao family was probably going to pay a huge price. He did not know what was so good about his disappointing son that he was worth them giving up sisi, a good daughter, to raise a good-for-nothing son. He didn¡¯t think about it at all. He definitely couldn¡¯t keep this money. It was a huge sum of money for the Qiao family, but it wasn¡¯t enough for him. Since there was no use for it, he might as well give it away ¡­ After thinking about it, he called the office and asked his assistant toe over. His assistant also came over very quickly.¡±Distribute this money evenly to the senior management. Let them know that they will be rewarded for what they have done for me.¡± Zheng Zeyi pointed at the money on the table and said. The money was indeed thick. It looked like it was sent by the Qiao family. It was so much money. It seemed that the Qiao family could not be underestimated. How could he take out a sum of money just to save his son? it was really unbelievable. This sum of money would probably make the Qiao family unable to recover for a long time. However, this sum of money seemed to be nothing to his boss. She gave it to someone else just like that. There was really no way topare the two families. How did the Qiao family dare to offend her boss ¡­ He was still very curious about this. Zheng ze frowned when he saw the assistant standing there in a daze.¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me you need me to teach you how to do all the simple things?¡± The assistant only came back to his senses when he heard this. Oh my God, how dare he be in a daze in front of his boss! This was too against the rules. The boss¡¯s impression of him would definitely plummet. He was so distracted that he didn¡¯t pay attention to the asion! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, boss. I was too focused on my thoughts just now. I¡¯ll pay more attention next time. I¡¯ll split the money. I¡¯m not that useless. ¡± The assistant turned around with the money on the table. ¡°Boss, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go down first. If you need anything, call me ¡­¡± The assistant pushed the door open and left. Zheng Zeyi suddenly thought of something.¡±Wait a minute.¡±
¡°Boss, do you have any other orders?¡± the assistant quickly stopped. Zheng ze felt that no matter how he distributed the money, it would not be enough to fill the appetites of the people below. He had to add more. Zheng Zeyi gave an extra number and asked his assistant to withdraw the money.¡±¡±Tell them that this is another reward from me. Tell them to work hard for me and I won¡¯t mistreat them. This reward is the best proof.¡± After the assistant heard this, he was speechless again. This was really different. How could the boss give away so much money without even blinking? he was really not the usual kind of free and easy. On the other hand, Qiao Lei had returned home. He had no idea how much money his actions had caused the Qiao family to lose. He felt more and more that he was amazing. How could he get rid of a drug addiction so easily? what else could the Qiao family not do? He was even more unscrupulous and didn¡¯t feel any guilt when he returned home. He even thought about where he should go in the afternoon. This house was empty and boring, and there was no energy at all. If the Qiao family was not useful to him, he would not havee back if he could. ¡°Young master, you should rest at home this time. Don¡¯t go out and cause any trouble.¡± The housekeeper persuaded her patiently. He had seen the Qiao family¡¯s huge loss this time. They had even fired several servants. If this young master continued to torment them, the Qiao family would not be far from bankruptcy. He could not bear it and tried to persuade him. Qiao Lei quickly felt ufortable after hearing this. What did he mean by ¡®don¡¯t go out and cause trouble¡¯? Was it him who wanted to cause trouble? even if it was, what did it have to do with him, a Butler? what right did he have to say anything about him? he was only hired to be a Butler. Did he really think he was a green onion? Qiao Lei didn¡¯t show the mockery in his heart. He still needed to perform well. After all, he still had to rely on the Qiao family to get him out next time. As he thought about this, his heart had already drifted to all kinds of entertainment venues and he was not in the mood to be here at all. The Butler saw Qiao Lei¡¯s expression and knew that whatever he said would be useless. He couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. He had a premonition that the Qiao family would be destroyed because of the young master in the future. It was only a matter of time before they were in debt. As Qiao Lei thought about it, he suddenly felt an itch in his heart. No matter what he did, there was something missing in his heart. He wanted to suck ¡­ Suck. He covered his heart with his hand and couldn¡¯t control himself. The Butler was shocked. What was going on? Liu Yun heard themotion and came over. When she saw her son¡¯s condition, she didn¡¯t care anymore and immediately went up to ask what was going on. Qiao Lei had already lost consciousness. There was only a voice in his heart that was screaming at him to smoke ¡­ But jiedan didn¡¯t give him that thing and his drug addiction had already kicked in. Liu Yun walked over to Qiao Lei¡¯s side in fear. She wanted to bear some of his pain, but he was already unconscious and had no idea who he was. There was only one voice in his heart that was screaming that he wanted drugs. Without drugs, he would die. He had to get his hands on drugs. So, when Liu Yun came over, he held her tightly.
He mumbled,¡±where are the drugs? I want poison, give me poison!¡± Qiao Lei roared. Liu Yun was in pain from being grabbed, and when she heard her son¡¯s words, she was a little confused. How could they have that kind of medicine for him at home? She could only stammer,¡±we don¡¯t have that kind of medicine at home. Bear with it.¡± ¡°No, I can ¡®T. I have to get that kind. That¡¯s good stuff. How can we not have it at home? go get me a lot of it at home and fill up the house ¡­ That¡¯s good stuff.¡± ¡°Do you know how hard it is to get that thing? you went in for that thing. Now, where do you want me to get these things for you? it will take a lot of effort to get caught.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care. You have to get it for me now. I must absorb it now.¡± His drug addiction was screaming in his mind, and his hands moved to his neck. He had gone crazy, and he wanted to let Liu Yun have her way. The strength of the blow was getting stronger and stronger, and her eyes were getting better and better. Liu Yun¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. The son that she doted on so much actually wanted to kill her. For a moment, she did not move. Qiao Lei used more and more force, as if he was really going to strangle someone to death, and he mumbled,¡±¡±Hurry up and give me the drugs. If you don ¡®t, I¡¯ll kill you.¡± This scene frightened many people. The Butler was also stunned. When he saw that Liu Yun was about to die, he stopped being in a daze and quickly went to stop Qiao Lei. Chapter 775

Chapter 775: Killing his mother

Trantor:549690339

¡°She¡¯s your biological mother. How could you treat her like that? let her go. If you don¡¯t let her go, it¡¯ll be a big problem.¡± The Butler called out nervously, trying to wake up the young man¡¯s conscience. The Butler shouted. However, Qiao Lei did not show any signs of loosening his grip. Instead, he tightened his grip even more. It took the Butler a lot of effort to separate the two of them. The strangle marks on Liu Yun¡¯s neck could be clearly seen. Who would have thought that these were scars caused by their own son? It was unbelievable, but he was the one who did it. If the Butler had not stopped her in time, Liu Yun would have been a corpse lying there. Qiao Lei, who was pushed away, was in a daze. He was going to poison ¡­ Why did he push himself away?¡±drugs ¡­ I want to take them. Hurry up and bring them over. If you don¡¯t bring them over, I¡¯ll really die ¡­¡± Qiao Lei said madly. At this point, Liu Yun really did not dare to go any closer, afraid that her life would be in danger again. ¡°We have to tie the young master up first. Otherwise, everyone will be in danger. We have to let the young master regain his consciousness first before we can talk to him. Otherwise, it will be the same this time and the next time.¡± This was the first time Liu Yun had agreed to do something that would harm her son. Although it was out of helplessness, the servants quickly brought up the rope. Liu Yun held the rope while the Butler held Qiao Lei down and prepared to tie her up. Liu Yun couldn¡¯t bear to do it, but the Butler didn¡¯t show any mercy. He tied her to a chair. Liu Yun¡¯s heart ached as she watched.¡±Let him go, but don¡¯t strangle him. I just want to limit his movement, not kill him.¡± The Butler wasining in his heart. You didn¡¯t say that when she strangled your neck just now. Now that you¡¯ve recovered, you¡¯re starting to feel heartache. At this time, Qiao Feng suddenly returned. Liu Yun felt as if she had found a pir of support in her heart. She immediately went to Qiao Feng¡¯s side and wanted to tell him about her grievances and fears, as well as what she should do next. Suddenly, her nose was very sharp. She smelled a fragrance that didn¡¯t belong to her, and her heart panicked for no reason. It wasn¡¯t what she thought. A Vixen dared to seduce her husband even after such a thing happened in her family! Liu Yun still wanted to say something, but Qiao Feng was walking unsteadily into the house. Liu Yun felt that something was wrong. She had to put her son¡¯s matter aside first. This matter had to be resolved. Why did he have such a fragrant smell on him? something was definitely wrong. Was there someone else outside? he was walking slowly and unsteadily.
¡°Qiao Feng! I¡¯ve been diligently taking care of the family at home. Your son is already like this, and you¡¯re still interested in looking for other women. Why are you so ambitious?¡± When Qiao Feng heard this, he was confused. When was he going to look for another woman? but the scene that his eyes were seeing was different. He was dizzy and did not want to argue with Liu Yun. He was tired and just wanted to rest. However, how could Liu Yun possibly agree to that? she was already feeling vexed. She thought that her husband would be able to confide in her when he came back, but she did not expect to find out about this terrible matter. The next moment, Liu Yun was already prepared to quarrel. However, she did not expect Qiao Feng to suddenly foam at the mouth and pass out. Why was Liu Yun so stunned? She didn¡¯t do anything, and they didn¡¯t even start quarreling, so why did this person suddenly faint on the ground? The Butler was even more confused when he saw the situation. What was going on with the Qiao family recently? Everything that happened was so unfortunate. First, the young master went crazy. Now, the master was frothing at the mouth and had fainted. The madam was indeed useless. She could not hold the power and her vision was still too low. It seemed that the Qiao family was finished. Qiao Lei finally calmed down. He was very scared to see himself tied up. His mind was not clear, but everything that had just happened reappeared in his mind and he was stunned for a few moments. Was this really him? how could he have done such a crazy thing? the rope was not tied very tightly because of what Liu Yun had said. Qiao Lei quickly untied the rope with his consciousness. Only then did Liu Yun calm down and called Qiao Lei to send Qiao Feng to the hospital. The Qiao family was in a mess that night, and there was no rest. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor quickly sent Qiao Feng to the emergency room. They waited outside for a long time. Qiao Lei and Liu Yun were also nervous. The Qiao family was nowpletely supported by Qiao Feng. If Qiao Feng fell, the Qiao family would fall sooner orter. After a while, the doctor came out of the emergency room. Liu Yun quickly went up to him and held his hand. ¡°How¡¯s the doctor? is there anything serious?¡± The doctor removed his mask and looked at Liu Yun.¡±Family member, don¡¯t get too excited. Let go of me first. The patient is paralyzed from a stroke and is out of danger now. Fortunately, you brought him here in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡± When Qiao Lei heard that his father was fine and that the Qiao family would be fine as long as Qiao Feng did not fall, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat down in his chair. However, Liu Yun was still worried. However, at this moment, Zheng Zeyi came up with awyer, and it seemed like he was heading straight for Qiao Lei. Liu Yun had the same premonition and quickly stopped sticking to the doctor. Instead, she subconsciously went to Qiao Lei¡¯s side, afraid that Zheng Zeyi was going to do something to him. That was indeed the case. Zheng ze did not speak when he arrived and was about to ask thewyer to speak. Thewyer quickly recognized the reality and said to Qiao Lei,¡±¡±May I ask if you are Mr. Qiao Lei?¡± Qiao Lei was caught off guard, but he still nodded and said,¡±¡±I am. What¡¯s the problem?¡± In fact, he was just pretending to be calm. He was already so flustered in his heart. He needed to do these things himself.¡±Here¡¯s the thing, someone here wants to Sue you. I¡¯m hiswyer, so I came to inform you.¡± Liu Yun and Qiao Lei were dumbfounded when they heard this. The doctor left subconsciously as well. This was their family¡¯s matter. If he stayed, it would only cause more trouble. It was better to not know anything.
Liu Yun was very protective of her son.¡±On what basis? don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have money and power. If you want to Sue, you need to have a name. We can¡¯t just let you Sue as much as you want!¡± When Qiao Lei heard this, he realized that it was indeed the case. He had not done anything that Zheng Zeyi could use against him. ¡°Right, the other party wants to Sue me, but he forgot that I still have a big bargaining chip on me. This must be something he doesn¡¯t know. I really want to see his shocked expression,¡± Qiao Lei thought with some evil intentions.

At the thought of this, he had the most precious bargaining chip on him and immediately became arrogant. What was Zheng Zeyi to him? as long as Qiao si si was still in his hands, he was just a little brother. Whatever he did would depend on him. He was only as arrogant as he was now. As long as he revealed this information, he was sure that he wouldn¡¯t dare to say anything. He wouldn¡¯t even Sue him. He would have to be respectful no matter what. As such, he was no longer hiding behind Liu Yun. It was rare for him to walk out so openly without anyone protecting him. Liu Yun was also surprised that he had walked out. She was afraid that he had not been too shocked by tonight. Liu Yun subconsciously pulled Qiao Lei back. ¡°It¡¯s okay, mom. I know what I¡¯m doing. I also want to have a few words with Mr. Zheng in private.¡± Qiao Lei¡¯s current state was like the state he was in after taking drugs. He was not afraid of Zheng Zeyi at all. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s lips curled into a smile. He was really looking forward to the moment he found out about the news. Anyone who dared to hurt sisi should pay the price, so it would start from this moment. Qiao Lei stood up and walked to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side. Heughed evilly and said,¡±¡±I wonder if brother-inw has found my sister? I know my sister¡¯s whereabouts. Is brother-inw sure he wants to Sue me? Why don¡¯t you prepare arge sum of money for me? I¡¯ll tell you my sister¡¯s whereabouts so that you can reunite sooner. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how my sister is after not seeing her for so long. ¡± When Zheng ze heard this, he also felt that the show had just begun, but he lost interest and did not want to continue acting with him. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Oh? Do you know where your sister is? where is she? Is it in Wang Xu¡¯s hands?¡± Qiao Lei said proudly,¡±that¡¯s right, you ¡­¡± The next moment, his expression changedpletely. Wang Xu ¡­ How did he know ¡­¡±You, how did you know about this person ¡­ No.¡± ¡°Wang Xu is already in the police station. How could I not know his name? he was the one who kidnapped sisi. I won¡¯t let him off easily, not to mention the mastermind. Don¡¯t you agree, my good little brother ¡­¡± The younger brother ridiculed Qiao Lei even more and returned his words back to him. Zheng Zeyi was not affected much and even looked like he was watching a joke, but the younger brother was not. The other party waspletely dumbfounded, but Liu Yun waspletely confused. What was going on? she only heard about Wang Xu ¡­ Could it be that her son had kidnapped Qiao si on his own, and now Zheng Zeyi hade looking for her? This was really ¡­ They had just spent a lot of money to get her out of the police station, and now they had to spend money again ¡­ What a silly son, he didn¡¯t even discuss with them before he did anything, and now this happened ¡­
¡°Mom ¡­ Mom, save me. I don¡¯t want to go to jail. I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I just wanted to y with my sister. I didn¡¯t want to hurt her at all.¡± Qiao Lei was already speaking without thinking. Thewyer took a step forward.¡±Then, Mr. Qiao Lei, you¡¯ve already admitted that you kidnapped miss joesse, right? I¡¯ve already heard it.¡± Liu Yun immediately jumped up when she heard this and said,¡±What nonsense are you saying,wyer? Do you know the seriousness of this word? if you don¡¯t know, then don¡¯t talk nonsense. They¡¯re just ying with each other, and Qiao Lei is still young. ¡± Thewyer couldn¡¯t help butugh when he heard this.¡±¡±He¡¯s still young. I think he should be an adult by now. He should be able to take legal responsibility. He has to be responsible for everything he has done. ¡± Zheng Zeyi did not intend to let them off. After all, they were the ones who provoked sisi first. If the kidnapping incident had not happened, perhaps the two families would not have had any contact in the future. He did not want to have any contact with such people, but they did not realize this. Why did they have to provoke her? the consequences were not something they could bear. Why did they talk about her young age? why didn¡¯t they think about her young age when they kidnapped sisi? Sisi was not much older than Qiao Lei, but there was such a big difference in treatment even though they were both children. No wonder the children he taught were different. ¡°Zheng Zeyi ¡­ Oh no, Mr. Zheng, this matter is just two kids ying around. Can you settle it privately? I believe sisi is fine too.¡± For the first time, Zheng Zeyi felt that this family could be even more shameless. Whether she was injured or not had little to do with the kidnapping. Moreover, she was injured. He would not let go of anyone who hurt sisi. ¡°No matter what, he did kidnap sisi. This can¡¯t be erased.¡± Zheng Zeyi said. ¡°What do you want so that you¡¯ll let my son go? isn¡¯t that money enough topensate you? will you only be satisfied when the Qiao family is destroyed?¡± Liu Yun was already on the verge of going crazy. These days, the Qiao family had been going downhill. The things that happened recently seemed to be fighting against the Qiao family. He could not say anything at all and only hoped that Qiao Feng would get better soon. Zheng Zeyi did not n to show any mercy. He would deal with it however he wanted to. Moreover, sisi was not injured, so he could not show any mercy. He now had evidence that Qiao Lei had kidnapped her. Qiao Lei already had a criminal record, and now, with this kidnapping ¡­ And an appropriate contract killing, he didn¡¯t know how he would live in the next life. It seemed that this crime was enough for him to be in prison for a long time. Liu Yun was still immersed in convincing Zheng Zeyi not to pursue Qiao Lei¡¯s crime and did not notice that thewyer had already arranged the recording pen and other things. Thewyer came over and asked Zheng Zeyi.¡±Sir, this crime can be linked to Qiao Feng. Are you going to let him off or pursue the matter with him?¡± Thewyer¡¯s words left Liu Yun in a state of shock. This matter would also implicate Qiao Feng ¡­ He was already lying in the hospital. Was he going to go to jail for his own son kidnapping his own daughter? This sentence would probably beughed at by others for a long time. This was truly a case of unrest. Liu Yun waspletely at a loss for words. This person was simply unmoved by force or persuasion. He was determined to send Qiao Lei to prison ¡­ Could it be that he really wanted to force everyone to their deaths before he was willing?
Zheng Zeyi looked at the ward. The person lying inside was sisi¡¯s father, but he did not do his duty as a father. Instead, he did a lot of things to his biological son andpensated him with a lot of things. In the end, he even had to go to prison because of his son¡¯s insensibility. She had spent her entire life for her son, but her son had failed to live up to her expectations. Who could she me for ending up like this? ¡°I won¡¯t pursue it ¡­ I¡¯ll just give the Qiao family onest chance.¡± In the end, Zheng Zeyi did not intend to pursue the matter with Qiao Feng.

When Liu Yun heard that Zheng Zeyi did not intend to pursue Qiao Feng¡¯s responsibility, she felt that he still had some conscience and knew that he should not pursue it. Her desire to ask Zheng Zeyi to let Qiao Lei off grew stronger and stronger. Thewyer immediately took out a piece of paper from his bag. It was filled with words and passed it to Liu Yun. Upon closer inspection, it was a list of Qiao Lei¡¯s crimes. Every one of them was a big one and it would be difficult for them to be released in court. He could only spend the rest of his life in prison, and his son was in the prime of his life. How could he suffer like this? if she did not agree, why could she not let him go? ¡°Zheng Zeyi, do you really have to be so ruthless? do you know about what you¡¯re saying about Qiao sisi? if outsiders find out that she married and treated her family like this, how would they look at her? have you considered all of this?¡± Liu Yun said after she regained her senses. Qiao Lei sat in his chair and didn¡¯t say anything. He didn¡¯t know what to say. The n was so wless, so why did it fail? he couldn¡¯t figure it out and felt that the ending shouldn¡¯t be like this. Liu Yun¡¯s words made Zheng Zeyi¡¯s heart tremble even more. He did not think that this family would still have the nerve to bring this up. It was already a miracle that he did not push the me onto Qiao Feng. Now, they were even using this as a threat. Thewyer¡¯s mouth twitched. He also felt that these people were really unreasonable. How could they be so shameless? how could they have the nerve to tell this kind of thing to outsiders? Before thewyer could express his opinion, Zheng Zeyi sneered,¡±¡±Madam Qiao, if you dare to let others know that your son was sent to prison for killing his sister, then feel free to tell us.¡± No matter how nosy thewyer was, he couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±This is really weird. Someone wants to kill him, but he can¡¯t even take some measures to protect himself.¡± The matter ended just like that. Zheng Zeyi did not care about what they were saying and walked out on his own. Liu Yun did not know what to do and stood rooted to the ground. Qiao Lei was also panicking. No one could protect him without his father. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you discuss with me before you did anything? it would have been better if you had told me. I only found out about it now that things havee to this. What do you think we should do now? these crimes ¡­¡± The more Liu Yun panicked, the more she could not calm down to think. On the other hand, Qiao si also found out about what Zheng Zeyi had done for her and felt touched. It was the first time someone had stood up for her. The so-called Zhou Zhang was just trying to make her happy and give her justice.
He also wanted to let others know that he was not that easy to bully. Zheng ze was hugged by Joes the moment he reached home. For the first time, Zheng ze felt that his woman was so cute. It was so satisfying to hug him like this. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? are you bored at home? why do you suddenly want to hug me?¡± Zheng Zeyi said as he hugged joesse, his tone was filled with satisfaction. ¡°No, I just missed you. What were you dealing with when you came back sote?¡± Joes was not afraid of getting tired of it at all and said it directly. If she wanted to, she would say it openly. Zheng Zeyi was still a little embarrassed to say,¡±¡±I¡¯ve listed Qiao Lei¡¯s crimes and sent them to court. I¡¯ve decided to let thew punish Qiao Lei without any mercy. Besides, Qiao Lei might have to live in prison for the rest of his life after what happened. We could have asked Qiao Feng to go in with us, but he was paralyzed by a stroke. ¡± Joes did not express her opinion and maintained an indifferent attitude. Zheng Zeyi did not understand what Joes was thinking and was not confident. He was afraid that Joes would think that he was cold-blooded and inhumane. Liu Yun¡¯s words had touched him, but this was how he should treat those who wanted to harm him. Why should he give them a chance to repent? Zheng Zeyi was stunned. Joesse was at a loss as she asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Sisi, do you think that I¡¯m not understanding the ways of the world? do you think that I¡¯m cold-blooded and despise me? If you can, please stay away from me. I won¡¯t be that cold-blooded, I like you. ¡± ¡°You¡¯re worried because of this?¡±Joes almostughed out loud. She touched her head and said,¡±¡±How could that be? you were so mean to those people because of me. How could I think that you¡¯re cold-blooded? you were just trying to protect me.¡± On the other side, the court soon opened. Qiao Lei was pushed forward, and the defendant went up. Zheng Zeyi¡¯swyer was representing him throughout the case, and his crimes were listed out one by one. Qiao Lei stood there alone, feeling very lonely and sad, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. Did he really do these things? He had no impression of it. It had been a long time, so why did he still say it? There were some things that he had not done at all. Why was the whole world against him? Qiao Lei¡¯swyer had seen this crime early on and had really done it when he was looking for evidence. How was he supposed to defend himself? every time he brought out evidence to prove that Qiao Lei did not do it, the other party¡¯s evidence would be more sufficient andprehensive. This made him unable to defend himself at all. He was a goodwyer, after all. He hade to try for the high fees, but who knew that this was an unsolvable situation? how was he going to argue? besides, he hadn¡¯t even gotten the most important crime yet. When he heard those crimes, he couldn¡¯t help but want to step down. Why was there such a good-for-nothing son? if he hadn¡¯t gotten such a powerful one this time, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been so miserable. She really didn¡¯t know how to restrain herself. Such a good family, yet she had yed her cards so badly. The other party¡¯swyer was talking about the crimes, while the other party¡¯swyer was thinking about it. This unsolvable game was destined to be lost, but he still had to say a few more words for the other side. Who knew that the next moment, Qiao Lei would go crazy and say,¡±¡±Give it to me ¡­ I want to suck ¡­¡± And then he actually wanted toe out. His actions were very rough. How could the judge above allow the other party to be so presumptuous?
Someone immediately pressed him back down. This time, thewyer didn¡¯t have to say anything. This case waspletely impossible to turn over. He had just been released from taking drugs, and he still dared to show it so brazenly in court. He was really upset that he didn¡¯t go to jail. The judge was throwing a tantrum, and the jury was whispering to each other. This was a rare sight. What else was there to be tried? Qiao Lei had lost the case without saying anything because of Qiao Lei¡¯s trouble. The involved party was still unaware of it and only wanted drugs. Without drugs, he would be too miserable.

When this news reached Qiao sisi¡¯s ears, she was only left speechless. This was really unexpected. If Qiao Lei had not set his sights on her, perhaps she would not be in such a miserable state now. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in life. She had lost a good hand just like that. What would happen to her after Qiao Feng got tired of her? she should be d that Qiao Feng did not spoil her so much. The ending was really surprising. For the rest of her life, she would have to endure the pain of not having drugs in prison. Or was it because her stepmother had the ability to get Qiao Lei out again? However, it didn¡¯t seem possible at the moment. The money was almost used up when Qiao Lei took drugsst time. How could he have the money to pay now? Zheng Zeyi did not n to let things end like that. There were still many things to be done. There was not a good person to control the Qiao family¡¯spany, and no one was in charge of Qiao Feng¡¯s strokepany. This was the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If he let this opportunity go, he would not be Zheng Zeyi. He would first grasp the power in his hands. Even if he thought that Qiao Feng had woken up, there would be no chance to turn around. It would be much easier to get rid of the people who belonged to Qiao Feng and Liu Yun in thepany. The Qiao family was already in such a state. There would definitely be many people who wanted to leave. In this way, he would not have to waste any more energy. He just had to solve the problem. In just a few days, thepany waspletely under Zheng ze¡¯s control. Liu Yun had received the news, but she was only a woman and could not solve many problems. She did not even know half of what Qiao Feng knew. How could hepare to Zheng ze? it was not difficult for Zheng Zeyi to take full control of thepany, so thepany was under his control very quickly. Every day, Liu Yun would be in thepany, trying to keep the employees as she watched the important positions being filled. He had been reced by others, and he had grown a lot of white hair. He had witnessed many people¡¯s ways of the world during this period. She couldn¡¯t help but think of Qiao Feng. Why didn¡¯t he wake up at this time? she really couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. If he didn¡¯t wake up soon, thepany would really be gone. And he couldn¡¯t run around for thepany¡¯s Affairs. Qiao Lei still needed him. He didn¡¯t go to court, but when he saw thewyer¡¯s face, he knew that things wouldn¡¯t go so well.
He even said that his son might spend the rest of his life in prison. She really didn¡¯t know what to do. Everyone in thepany was a stranger. She couldn¡¯t even find someone she knew to talk to or ask about thepany¡¯s specific situation. Meanwhile, Qiao Lei, who was in prison, had been tortured to the point where he was neither human nor ghost. Liu Yun had been looking everywhere for help for her son, but no one was willing to help her selflessly. They all needed money, but now ¡­ Where could he get so much money? In today¡¯s society, it was difficult to move without money, let alone other things. It was even more difficult to fish out a person who was guilty all over. When the time came, he would not get any benefits but get himself into trouble. That was why everyone was avoiding Liu Yun, whether it was intentional or not. They couldn¡¯t allow her to pester them. If she did, they would fall out with her. Furthermore, she waspletely useless now. On the third day, she was sent out of her house. She couldn¡¯t take it anymore. There was onest family. She had a good rtionship with them. As long as they could lend her the money in other ways, she would be fine. Her son could not spend the rest of his life in prison. She would not allow it. It wasn¡¯t like she didn¡¯t know how much of a joke this would be if it were to spread out. In the end, she came to a family, but that family didn¡¯t treat her like the others. After all, they had a good rtionship with her, and they respectfully weed her in for tea. For a moment, no one spoke about the topic first. The attitude of the two people was the same as before. In order to not waste time, Liu Yun brought up the matter of money. ¡°You can see the difficulties our family is facing now. I hope you can help us. We will return the money to you in the future, but if you are not even willing to lend me the money, I don¡¯t know how I will live in the future. And Lei ¡®er, he can¡¯t spend his time in prison, he¡¯s still young. ¡± ¡°Liu Yun ¡­ It¡¯s not that our family doesn¡¯t want to help you, but we don¡¯t have that much savings. Lei ¡®ermitted a serious crime. If he didn¡¯t make a big fuss about taking drugs on court that day, this could have been solved with money. However, because of this, Lei¡¯ er¡¯s crime became even more serious, and he¡¯ll have to spend a lot of money in the future ¡­¡± In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the money spent on the Qiao family was useless. It was just that there would be no return. Therefore, no one was willing to pay attention to Liu Yun. In the end, the two of them talked for a long time, but they still could not lend Liu Yun the money. For the first time, Liu Yun felt that the world was so hateful. It gave her hope, but it also gave her despair. Her son was still in prison, her husband was lying in the hospital, and thepany had been taken over by the two B * tches, Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi. There was no light in life, and she could not help it. She still had money on her, but it was not enough to save Qiao Lei. However, this money was enough to create an ident. If her Lei ¡®er did note back, Qiao Feng did not wake up, and thepany was no longer around, it would be difficult for her to survive in this world alone. She might as well have someone as her scapegoat. This way, she would feel more at ease. Zheng Zeyi, aren¡¯t you very powerful ¡­ In that case, I don¡¯t know if you have the ability to survive this ident. Joess¡­You¡¯re too pretentious. Wasn¡¯t it just Lei ¡®er who joked and kidnapped you, and you¡¯re already so ruthless? then, I¡¯ll help you two B * stards and let you have a taste of what I¡¯m feeling right now. That feeling of helplessness and loss ¡­ Qiao sisi¡­She should feel it once more after losing the person she loved the most. Liu Yun was already feeling weird and she no longer wanted to save Qiao Lei. There was no more hope.
Then let¡¯s die together. Whatever kind of mentality she had now, once she had this idea in her heart, the seed began to take root in her heart and finally began to execute it. The best way was to get someone to tamper with Zheng Zeyi¡¯s car and pretend that it was a car ident ¡­ After a car ident, his smile towards Liu Yun gradually became perverted. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. ¡°I¡¯ll give you money to do something. Once Zheng ze dies, I want you to do something to his car. It¡¯ll be best if he dies a horrible death, with his bones iplete.¡± Liu Yunughed as she spoke, causing the passersby to turn around and walk away, wondering if she was a lunatic.

It was a pity that Zheng Zeyi had already sessfully avoided such a disaster. After he returned, he told Qiao si about this matter directly. He couldn¡¯t help but be angry at this moment. He didn¡¯t expect his stepmother to be so despicable and shameless, and to use such a despicable method. ¡°I don¡¯t think he should do such a crazy thing. Why don¡¯t we go and find the evidence?¡± When Qiao si si said this, Zheng Zeyi felt that what she said made sense, so he agreed in the end. No matter what, he could not let this male stepmother continue to be so arrogant. Moreover, his stepmother had already nned to kill him. How could he continue to be indifferent? Previously, Zheng Zeyi was only concerned about this stepmother of his. She seemed to have treated him well before this, so he wanted to let her off. He did not expect this person to not know what was good for him. In that case, Zheng Zeyi did not need to be so polite to this person. In the end, he sent someone to investigate it. He didn¡¯t expect to find such a useful clue at the scene. He gave the clue to the police and the police sessfully investigated it. Naturally, they had already caught that person, and that person had also seeded in the end. They had reported that she was their stepmother and reduced her sentence. The stepmother thought that if she begged Zheng Zeyi now, he would be willing to let her go. However, she did not expect that Zheng Zeyi had no intention of letting her go at all. ¡°From the moment you did those things, I already had no intention of letting you go. If I let you go, I think I won¡¯t be able to keep my name in the future.¡±
As soon as she said this, the stepmother was disheartened. She recalled everything that Zheng Zeyi had done to send her son to prison. Therefore, he clenched his hand tightly and took out the dagger that he had hidden for a long time. The stepmother¡¯s motive was simple. She wanted to die together with Zheng ze. However, she had seeded and was subdued by the police. There was still some distance between Qiao si and Zheng Zeyi. When she saw the knife in this woman¡¯s hand just now, Qiao SI¡¯s heart was sessfully frightened. She ran to Zheng Zeyi¡¯s side in a hurry and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zheng Zeyi was fine. ¡°You scared me to death. Fortunately, nothing happened to you. If something had happened to you, I wouldn¡¯t know what to do.¡± After Qiao sisi said that, she hugged Zheng Zeyi tightly and Zheng Zeyi naturally reciprocated her hug. Looking at the scene in front of them, they knew that they had miscalcted and it was impossible for them to seed. At this moment, the stepmother had no way to change anything. In the end, she could only be arrested by the police and sent to prison. Joes saw the destion in Zheng Zeyi¡¯s eyes and naturally knew what he was thinking. ¡°Actually, I think that this stepmother deserves all of this. If she didn¡¯t do such a thing herself, she wouldn¡¯t have ended up in this prison.¡± Zheng Zeyi shook his head after some thought, indicating that there was nothing that Jossi did not need to worry about. Now, these things had almoste to an end. Zheng Zeyi and Qiao sisi had also caused a stir in thepany, and theirpany was now ranked first among all thepanies. On the other side, Chen Anna and her boyfriend were already nning to get married, so they only nned for a while. When the nning was almost done, they went to distribute the wedding invitations. After Joes and Zheng Zeyi found out that Anna Chen and her boyfriend were getting married, they could not help but feel very gratified. This was because Anna Chen had already gotten married at the end of the day. That was because to Joes, Anna Chen was her best friend. Now that her best friend was married, how could Joes not be happy? At this wedding, Joes also gave her most sincere blessings.
When Zheng ze saw how happy Anna Chen and her boyfriend were, he naturally walked to joesse¡¯s side and held her hand tightly. After all, it was not easy for the two of them to get to where they were today. Time passed minute by minute, and soon, a year had passed. Chen Anna also gave birth to a child, and this child was naturally also a girl. Joes felt that since Anna Chen was her best friend, there was no harm in arranging an arranged marriage with her at a young age. This way, the rtionship between the two families would be even closer.
In the end, Chen Anna also nodded in agreement. At the same time, it was almost the new year, but Zheng Zeyi still did not say a word to his father because his father had suffered from this wind, even though his current situation was better than before. However, Zheng Zeyi was still unwilling to talk to his father, because his father had also done such terrible things in the past. Moreover, Zheng Zeyi could still vividly remember the things that his father had done. He would probably never be able to forget it for the rest of his life. Although this father was his biological father, Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father had been keeping an eye on Zheng Zeyi, and Zheng Zeyi¡¯s grandfather was also here. Looking at Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father, he could not help but sigh helplessly. After all, he was the one who had caused all this. The whole family sat together like this. For some reason, the atmosphere was inexplicable and a little awkward. Zheng Zeyi¡¯s father was also looking at Zheng Zeyi at this time. Zheng Zeyi also looked in that direction when his father suddenly looked at him like that. He did not expect his father to have something to say to him. Zheng Zeyi did not want to go over, so he went over after Qiao sisi persuaded him. Unexpectedly, his father said,¡±I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong.¡± However, after saying this, the knot in the father and son¡¯s heart was untied, and the whole family spent the new year in peace.
