Jiang Mingzhu: "You are the only son of the Zhan family. You cannot let go of what belongs to you."
Zhan Yanqing's eyes narrowed, looking at Jiang Mingzhu with inquiry and doubt in his eyes.
Jiang Mingzhu knew what he was suspecting, but she still said to him: "You can't really sever ties with the Zhan family. This in itself is a false proposition."
Zhan Yanqing was silent, especially since he was born in this circle. What Jiang Mingzhu said made sense.
Jiang Mingzhu: "If you really want to protect me, you should become the most important person in the Zhan family. By then, no one can bully me."
Zhan Yanqing couldn't deny Jiang Mingzhu's words. This world has always been about the weak and the strong. Now he can't be with the person he likes because it's really because he doesn't have the final say in the Zhan family.
Zhan Yanqing thought for a long time and then said, "I have no interest in managing the company. My sister has been taking care of Fenghe's affairs these years."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I know."
Zhan Yanqing: "But for you, I am willing to give it a try. Will you wait for me?"
Jiang Mingzhu showed an expression of surprise, her eyes were red with emotion, "Is it true?"
Zhan Yanqing: "When did I lie to you?"
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips slightly, as if she remembered something, but hesitated to speak.
Zhan Yanqing: "If you want to say anything else, just say it."
"Maybe I think too much..." Jiang Mingzhu said worriedly, "Mr. Zhan has been running the company these years. If you suddenly go back, will she be unhappy?"
Although Zhan Yanqing had quarreled with Zhan Yubai, he didn't doubt that she would be like this. "No, she always wanted me to go back."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Well... maybe I'm too petty, I'm sorry."
Zhan Yanqing: "No need to apologize. She bullied you. It's normal for you to be wary of her."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I just feel that if it were me, I would be very unwilling... It's better for you to be careful."
Zhan Yanqing: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"And..." Jiang Mingzhu licked her lips and said with some difficulty, "During this period, we are not allowed to meet in public, and you should not treat your parents and me as quarreling just because you are doing it."
Before Zhan Yanqing could reply to Jiang Mingzhu's words, his cell phone rang. It was Zhan Yubai's call.
After Jiang Mingzhu saw his caller ID, she reminded him, "Hurry up and answer the call."
Zhan Yanqing picked it up and heard Zhan Yubai ask, "Yanqing, are you outside?"
"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Zhan Yanqing had been having trouble with Zhan Yubai recently, and his attitude towards her was far less nice than before.
Jiang Mingzhu sipped the juice and raised the corners of her mouth slightly after hearing Zhan Yanqing's impatient tone.
"Yan Qing, I'm sorry. What happened between you and Mingzhu is not my fault. I apologize to you." Zhan Yubai said with a gentle voice, "I have thought about it. Family background is not the most important thing. As long as you like each other."
Zhan Yanqing touched the cup at his hand without making a sound.
Zhan Yubai: "Well, take some time to bring Mingzhu to the hospital. Then I will do the ideological work for your parents."
Zhan Yanqing's eyes were dark, and he suddenly laughed, his tone was much more relaxed than before, "Why do you suddenly want to help me?"
Zhan Yubai: "You are my brother, I hope you are happy."
Zhan Yanqing: "Well, it's up to you to take care of your parents. Hang up first. I'm having dinner with my Zhuzhu."
Putting down his phone, Zhan Yanqing raised his eyebrows and asked Jiang Mingzhu, "Guess what she said to me?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I want you to take me back to meet my parents, right?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhan Yanqing's eyes, "Can you guess this?"
"I can't help it. Who told me to be petty?" Jiang Mingzhu said, "Your father is already so angry that he is hospitalized. If you take me there at this time, they will only be disappointed in you."
Jiang Mingzhu doesn't have to say it directly, Zhan Yanqing also understands what she will do when she is extremely disappointed.
I grew up in this circle since childhood,
There are many people who have their bank cards frozen and their inheritance rights taken away because of disobedience to their parents.
Zhan Yanqing finished a glass of juice and chuckled, "It seems she really thought I was a fool before."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You are siblings, and she still loves you very much."
"Who knows, we're not biological." Zhan Yanqing raised the corners of his lips mockingly.
Jiang Mingzhu looked surprised, "Not your biological child?"
Zhan Yanqing: "She was adopted by my parents. She was already twenty when she got home."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why did you adopt her?"
Zhan Yanqing joked, "Maybe it's because I'm so unsatisfactory. They want to find someone with a high IQ to help me, but they are worried about finding a man. They find a woman who is easy to control. When the age is reached for marriage, the married daughter will be thrown away." of water."
Seeing Jiang Mingzhu's ugly face, Zhan Yanqing asked, "Do you think it's funny?"
"No, this is normal." Jiang Mingzhu said, "The Zhan family has given her a lot. If she is not the adopted daughter of the Zhan family, the Zhou family will not accept her, right?"
When talking about this matter, Zhan Yanqing looked serious, "The Zhou family accepted her not because of the Zhan family."
Jiang Mingzhu was curious, "Why is that?"
Zhan Yanqing: "A few years ago, Mrs. Zhou's kidneys failed. It was Zhan Yubai who took a kidney and gave it to her, which brought Mrs. Zhou back to life."
Jiang Mingzhu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, her face turned pale, her hands under the table were clenched into fists, and her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.
Zhan Yanqing noticed that Jiang Mingzhu looked wrong, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a little surprised." Jiang Mingzhu asked, "Why did she do that?"
Zhan Yanqing: "She has liked Zhou Li for a long time. Zhou Li had no interest in her at first. After this incident, Mrs. Zhou arranged for Zhou Li to marry her. Zhou Li did not object. Later, he was pretty good to her."
"I see." Jiang Mingzhu's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Zhan Yubai exchanged his kidney for the identity of Zhou Li's fiancée, and in order to be with him, he did not hesitate to do such dirty and despicable things.
Ah……
Zhou Li was a person she had snatched and determined.
——
Because of Zhan Yanqing's words, Jiang Mingzhu had nightmares all night long. When she got up, the dark circles under her eyes were almost falling to the ground.
So she put on heavy makeup and went to work.
As soon as Jiang Mingzhu arrived at the company, Liang Cong arranged for her to go to the conference room to take meeting minutes.
Jiang Mingzhu came to the door of the conference room holding her notebook, and happened to bump into Zhou Li who was coming for the meeting.
Zhou Li was followed by several senior executives. His angular face had no expression as usual, and it was so cold that it made people shiver.
Seeing Jiang Mingzhu, Zhou Li's eyes stayed on her for a moment.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Li ignored her and went in with a few senior executives to sit down.
During the meeting, Jiang Mingzhu was engrossed in taking minutes of the meeting, typing on the keyboard with her long fingers, and had no time to look at Zhou Li.
Naturally, she would not notice that the man would glance at her face coldly from time to time.
After the meeting, Jiang Mingzhu went back and distributed the meeting minutes to the participants, copying a copy of Zhou Li.
Less than a minute after sending it, she received a reply from Zhou Li: Come to my office.
