Chapter 65: Exploitation

Yanqing, this prodigal son, would be so terrifying when he fell in love.After returning to the villa from Zhou's house, Xu Siyan came looking for Zhou Li with photos and videos a few minutes later.Zh...A few days ago, Xu Sichen went on a business trip to Nancheng and wasn't around. He missed out on a lot.

Yuan Ye explained the ins and outs of the situation to Xu Siyan.

Then he found that Xu Sichen was looking at him with suspicion, as if he had done something wrong.

Yuan Ye: "What do you mean by that look"

Xu Siyan: "You'd better not have any improper thoughts about Jiang Mingzhu."

"What are you thinking Am I that kind of person She's still with Fourth Brother, even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare."

Xu Siyan: "You're still in the mood for this."

Yuan Ye was exasperated, "Alright, I'm keeping quiet. You're twisting my words just like the fourth brother. Aren't you jealous"

Xu Sidi: "My eyesight isn't that bad."

The wilderness seemed to have gotten hold of his weak point, raising his eyebrows, “Oh oh, you mean that the fourth brother has bad eyesight!”

Yuan Ye and Xu Sidian were chatting and preparing to leave Yuan Yin Manor.

When Jiang Mingzhu was folding flowers, she heard the footsteps of the two people and stood up to greet them.

Xu Siyan glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, "Miss Jiang, I don't care what your purpose is in approaching Fourth Brother, I hope you keep your head clear and know what to do and what not to do. Recognize your own identity, his future wife will only be Yu Baijie, don't covet a position that doesn't belong to you."

Jiang Mingzhu's ears turned red and she lowered her eyes, her lips slightly pursed, with a hint of redness in her eye sockets, her face bearing a look of repressed grievance.

Xu Siyan: "Ms. Jiang, please don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. I don't buy it."

Ginger Mingzhu: "I know you don't like me, but I have never approached him with any ulterior motives. I also know... I will never be able to compare to Miss Zhan. You don't need to remind me repeatedly."

Her voice was very low, speaking softly and getting quieter and quieter, like she might cry at any moment.

Yuan Ye grabbed Xu Siyan: "Alright, stop talking. She didn't do anything to you!"

Xu Siyan looked at Yuan Ye with a complex expression, but Yuan Ye's attention was focused on Jiang Mingzhu.

"Are you alright"

Ginger Mingzhu looked at Yaoyao and said, "Thank you."

On the way back from Yuan Yin Manor, Yuan Ye said to Xu Siyan, "You really don't need to be so against Jiang Mingzhu. She's not as bad as you think."

Xu Siyan: "What kind of love potion did she give you"

"What's going on in that head of yours all day Can I just say a few objective things"

Xu Siyan scoffed, "With that tone of yours, I thought you really thought of yourself as her boyfriend."

This is the end of the paragraph.

Xu Siyan and Yuanye left, and Jiang Mingzhu returned to the living room.

As soon as I came in, I saw Zhou Li standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Jiang Mingzhu walked up and stopped beside him, affectionately grabbing his arm. "Brother, I'm back."

Zhou Li raised her chin, "Having a good chat with your boyfriend"

Jiang Mingzhu: "You're talking about Yuan Ye"

Zhou Li sneered and said nothing.

Just now, Yuan Ye went to talk to Jiang Mingzhu, and he saw everything.

Xu Siyan must have warned Jiang Mingzhu a few words, she took out her usual acting to pretend to be pitiful, and Yuan Ye began to speak for her.

Zhou Li had been brooding over this matter of the wasteland ever since. Jiang Mingzhu truly hadn't expected this.

After all, he's his brother. It's normal for Zhou Li to distrust her, but to distrust Yuan Ye as well is a bit far-fetched.

Jiang Mingzhu smiled and asked, "So you think I'm so charming that even Yuan Ye would turn against you because of me"

“That's all you've got”

Jiang Mingzhu: “Since you don't think so, why are you so nervous I thought my brother really loved me to the point of being obsessed.”

The last four words she uttered, one by one, with a deliberate and suggestive bite.

Zhou Li pulled his arm back, "I'll give you ten minutes to get out of here."

Ginger Mingzhu complained in a pitiful voice, "Here we go again, putting on pants and not recognizing people."

> When she went to attend Mr. Fu's birthday with Xiaozhi, Ginger Mingzhu reaped quite a bit.

At least I saw Zhou's family and heard Jìnróu's attitude towards Zhānyǔbái with my own ears.

According to Jin Rou, the Zhou family is going to start making it "official" for Zhan Yu Bai.

With Jin Rou's support, Zhou Li wouldn't say anything. Once the engagement was successful, Zhan Yu Bai's wings would harden again.

This matter is rather tricky.

When Jiang Mingzhu was holding the weekly meeting, she kept losing her focus and calculating this matter. The two-hour meeting flew by in a blink of an eye.

After the meeting, Mingzhu's mind was a jumble. She went downstairs to buy a cup of coffee at the company.

Just leaving the coffee shop, I saw Jian Yu Bai's figure. She was acting suspiciously, talking on the phone while looking around nervously.

Finally stopped at the smoking area.

Ginger Mingzhu hid around the corner, pricking up her ears to listen to what she was saying.

Jane said, "I can't get that much money right now. Give me some time."

Money Jiang Mingzhu tightened her grip on her coffee cup. Was the person across from her asking for money from Zhan Yu Bai

Jan Yu Bai: "Thirty thousand, that's all I have on hand. No transferring funds, I'll give you cash. Meet me at the old place tomorrow."

Jan Yu Bai said: "That's enough, don't call me again today."

Zhan Yu spoke hurriedly into the phone, then hung up and returned to the office building.

Ginger Mingzhu watched Zhan Yubai's back, twirling the coffee cup in her hand, fell into deep thought.

----

Jiang Mingzhu spent the whole day thinking about Zhan Yubai's phone call. When she returned to her villa in Xiangfu that evening, she was absent-minded.

Fang Qin Yang got off work earlier than her. Seeing her looking drained, he joked, "Did Zhou Li squeeze you dry again"

Ginger Mingzhu: "No."

Fang Qin Yang: "Then why are you so listless and unwell"

Ginger Mingzhu: "I heard today that Zhan Yu Bai gave someone a phone call, and the other person seemed to be asking her for money."

When talking about this, Fang Qinyang's expression immediately became serious.

Ginger Mingzhu: "I suspect it's related to that incident."

Fang Qinyang: "What did you say"

Ginger Mingzhu repeated the phone call content to Fang Qinyang, "Tomorrow I will take a day off, let's go see Zhan Yubai together."

At around six o'clock, Jiang Mingzhu and Fang Qin yang were waiting downstairs at Zhan Yu Bai's building.

Around eight thirty, Jane Yen-pei came out of her apartment and there was nothing suspicious about her behavior. She even drove to Wanhua.

Fang Qinyang: "How often does she go to Wanhua"

After all, there's a wealthy husband waiting for her.

Fang QinYang: "You said she likes Zhou Li more, or does she like money more"

"As for Zhou Li, with that black face and bad temper of his, if he didn't have money or connections, who would even look at him He'd probably end up as a duck."

Fang Qin Yang: "..."

According to Zhou Li's morning routine, he would habitually wait for Ginger Mingzhu to come and report the day's schedule.

But the person who came today was not Jiang Mingzhu, but Liang Chong.

Zhou Li stopped his movements and frowned: "How is it you"

Liangcong: "Ginger told me this morning that she wasn't feeling well and needed to take a day off."

Zhou Li: "What's wrong with her"

" ... I didn't ask about that. Her voice sounded like she had a cold."

"What's the schedule for today"

"This morning there is a project meeting, this afternoon I'm going to inspect with Mr. Zhao, and tonight there is an Chamber of Commerce event..."

"I can't go to the event, I'll have someone stand in for me."ong glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, then at Zhou Li, "General Manager Zhou, Assistant Jiang, I'll go handle the boarding procedures."During the flight, Jiang Mingzhu sat alone in a row and slept the whole w...
