Chapter 56: Keeping It Secret

t."Zhan Yanqing adored her this way, "I can wait a lifetime for you."Zhou Li walked over just in time to hear the two flirting. Jiang Mingzhu was coaxed into a smile by Zhan Yanqing's words, her eyes...A wild Pokemon appeared and backed away.

Jiang Mingzhu jokingly teased Yuanye and then returned to the ward. She changed her clothes, and soon, Fu Xiazhi came to find her.

Fu Xiazhi: "Where is Yuan Ye"

Jiang Mingzhu: "He left earlier because he had something to do."

She didn't explain her relationship with Yuan Ye to Fu Xiaozhi. Now that Fu Xiaozhi treats her as Yuan Ye's girlfriend, it's actually quite good. At least she won't be hostile towards her, and that way they can get closer.

Fu Xiaozhi took Jiang Mingzhu to eat Chaoshan hot pot, "You're still sick, Chaoshan pot is relatively light."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Thank you."

Her impression of Xiazhi improved another level. Although she seemed hard to approach, she was quite considerate towards people.

Even Jian Yǔbai doesn't deserve to be compared with Fu Xiǎozhi.

During dinner, Ci Xiazhi and Jiang Mingzhu started asking about Zhou Li. This was exactly what Jiang Mingzhu had expected.

Fu Xiazhi: "How long have you been Zhou Si's assistant"

"Not long, a little over a month."

Fu Xiazhi: "How often does Zhan Yubai look for him"

Ginger Mingzhu: “Quite a few. General Zhou and General Zhan have a good relationship.”

Fu Xiazhi let out a dismissive "tsk" and said, "Do you think Zhou Si likes her"

Jiang Mingzhu: “..... I don't pay much attention to Mr. Zhou's private affairs.”

Fu Xiaozhi: "I quite like you. How about we be friends"

Ginger Mingzhu smiled and said, "Ms. Fu is willing to be friends with me, it's my honor, I couldn't ask for more."

"Alright, alright, don't talk to me like that." Fu Xiazhi said disdainfully, "What's with all this 'Miss' and 'Ms.' stuff It's so fake. Just call me by my name."

Fu Xiaozhi's personality was truly cheerful, and Jiang Mingzhu laughed even brighter: "Fu Xiaozhi."

"Oh, it's so much better now. I couldn't stand them acting all high and mighty every day, each one like Zhan Yu Bai, it was exhausting."

It's obvious that Fu Xiaozhi really dislikes Zhan Yubai. She manages to put her down in just three sentences.

When speaking with someone like Xiaozhi, there's no need to beat around the bush. Jiang Mingzhu was also much more direct.

"Do you have a conflict with Ms. Zhan You don't seem to like her very much."

Fu Xiaozhi took a sip of cold tea to cool down, "You're only just noticing Anyone who likes her has their eyes closed."

Jiang Mingzhu: "…Do you have any conflicts"

Fu Xiaozhi: "She took my man, does that count"

Jiang Mingzhu's face showed a look of surprise, which amused Fu Xiaozhi. "You don't believe it"

"No, no, no, just a little surprised... You like Zhou Zong"

Fu Xiaozhi: "It's not that I like it, it's just that I find it annoying that he's with Zhan Yubai. If it were someone else, I wouldn't mind."

Jiang Mingzhu savored these words.

Fú Xiāozhī's meaning is that Zhou Lì can be with anyone, but not with Zhān Yǔbái.

This beam is big enough.

Fu Xiaozhi told Jiang Mingzhu a lot about Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai. Some things she knew, some things she didn't.

Zhan Yu Bai was only twenty years old when she was brought back to the Zhan family. At first, the Zhan family only treated her as someone to assist Zhan Yan Qing in his work.

Zhan Yu Bai is not highly regarded in the Zhan family and doesn't fit in well with their circle.

But according to Fu Xiazhi, Zhan Yubai fell in love with Zhou Li at first sight just a few days after arriving at the Zhan family and didn't miss any opportunity to show his affection.

Zhou Li, this cold human being, ignored all of Zhan Yu Bai's advances. Once, Zhan Yu Bai knitted a scarf as a birthday present for him, but he didn't even look at it before tossing it aside.

That time, James White lost face big time and was ridiculed for a long time.

Ginger Mingzhu was surprised. So Zhou Li could be so rude to Zhan Yu Bai

According to Fu Xiaozhi, Zhan Yubai would use any underhanded trick to be with Zhou Li.

After Mrs. Zhou fell ill, she surprisingly requested a kidney transplant and donated one of her kidneys to Mrs. Zhou. After Mrs. Zhou recovered, Zhan Yu Bai became the savior of the Zhou family.

When it comes to this, Fu Xiazhi couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, at the time, Aunt Zhou wanted to give her money, but she didn't want it. The only requirement was for Zhou Li to be her boyfriend. This guy is morally blackmailing her."

"Just like it, be straightforward and pursue it. What's with trading a kidney for love Purely brainless." Fu Xiaozhi couldn't stop cursing.

This isn't the first time I've heard this, but Jiang Mingzhu's face undoubtedly paled considerably.

She took a sip of iced tea, moistening her parched throat.

"Did she really take out a kidney"

"It probably is, otherwise why was she with him on Thursday The surgery was kept very secret back then, and I didn't know much about it either."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Um."

Later, Fu Xiazhi told Jiang Mingzhu that after Zhan Yubai morally blackmailed Zhou Li into being with him, he had even gone to visit her specifically.

Before that, Fu Xiazhi was the most frequent female presence around Zhou Li. The two even had a verbal engagement arranged by their elders. Zhou Li also treated her well, and Zhan Yubai had long considered her a thorn in his side.

That time I went to find her, it was naturally for showing off. I acted all smug and said a bunch of things that were just meant to make her feel inferior.

Fu Xiazhi couldn't stand this bad temper and slapped her twice right there. As luck would have it, Zhou Li arrived just then.

Chen Yu's face was pale and she collapsed to the ground. It is said that this is because she just donated a kidney and her body is weak.

Because of this, Zhou Li scolded Fu Xiazhi a few words, and they had a big fight, causing a huge uproar. Afterward, she went abroad.

It wasn't until last week that he came back.

Ginger Mingzhu felt a pang of sympathy for Fu Xiazhi after hearing the whole story.

Fu Xiazhi, being such a straightforward person, would fall for Zhan Yubai's tricks easily if she wasn't careful, just like last weekend at the Eternal Night Club.

Fu Xiazhi: "I was blind on Thursday, deceived by this splendid white lotus flower for so many years. I told him he wouldn't believe it, idiot."

Ginger Mingzhu: "..."

"Am I wrong"

Jiang Mingzhu: "You're too straightforward. That makes it easy for people to misunderstand you."

"I know, but I won't change."

Ginger Mingzhu:

Fu Xiazhi: "Whatever, Zhou Li can't stand me even more, he can't afford to offend our Fu family, so he just has to put up with it!"

Jiang Mingzhu wanted to say, "It's good to have money and power," but she held it in.

But Fu Xiaozhi's attitude surprised her - it was certain that Fu Xiaozhi would absolutely not let Zhan Yubai continue to be smug.

Zhou Li also cannot tear up the face with Fu Xiaozhi.

Then things get interesting.

Fu Xiazhi: "Actually, I want to be friends with you because I need your help."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Hmm What can I do for you"

Fu Xiazhi: "You know my usual schedule on Thursdays, right Make one for me, please."

—

Because of the agreement between Zhou Li and Zhan Yanqing, Zhan Yubai returned to Fenghe again.

Although her power is far less than before, she holds the most invested project in Fenghe's three-year history.

To express his gratitude to Zhou Li, Zhan Yu Bai specially bought breakfast and brought it to the meeting in Wanhua that morning.

Zhan Yu Bai walked with a spring in her step, confidently approaching Zhou Li's office. Just as she was about to knock, she peeked through the crack and saw Fu Xiaozhi standing inside.her. His face was illuminated by the flickering flame of the lighter, his pupils reflecting the firelight. She couldn't see what he was thinking."Click." The lighter's flame died, replaced by Zhou Li'...
