Zhou Li said nothing.
Jiang Mingzhu took his hand and said, "Touch me."
Like a kitten, she put her head close to his, begging him to touch her.
Zhou Li reluctantly rubbed her hair a few times, his movements far from gentle, but Jiang Mingzhu was very happy and smiled with satisfaction.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Am I good or not?"
Zhou Li sneered coldly, "Do you have anything to do with this word?"
Jiang Mingzhu pushed forward and rolled in his arms, "I'm hungry. If I want to eat Japanese food, I'll eat at the restaurant you went to for lunch."
——
At around 10:30, there were not many customers in the Japanese restaurant.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li chose a private room on the second floor and ordered a large table.
She ate until her mouth was bulging like a little hamster, and she didn't even have the time to speak.
Zhou Li has been taught table manners since he was a child. People around him eat slowly and leisurely, and few are like Jiang Mingzhu.
Zhou Li was a little disgusted, but then he remembered what she said before that she couldn't eat in the orphanage.
Finally, he swallowed the reminder back.
"Why don't you eat?" Jiang Mingzhu ate most of the plate of sushi before she remembered to talk to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li: "I'm not hungry."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then I'll eat them all?"
Zhou Li: "Be careful of indigestion."
Jiang Mingzhu took a sip of juice and asked gossiping: "What does brother like to eat?"
Zhou Li was not interested in answering her questions.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, you like to eat me."
Zhou Li's eyebrows skipped a beat, "Shut up."
——
After being tortured by Zhou Li last night, Jiang Mingzhu overslept in the morning and was an hour late for work.
She drove to the company, parked the car and walked towards the elevator. Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhang Jing again.
Zhang Jing: "Jiang Zhu, have you just arrived?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
Zhang Jing: "Are you feeling unwell? I'm late for the first time I saw you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Auntie, I have a headache."
Afterwards, Zhang Jing followed Jiang Mingzhu into the elevator, but Jiang Mingzhu didn't talk to her again.
She was not familiar with Zhang Jing, and Zhang Jing had appeared in front of her frequently in the past two days, which made people suspicious.
Jiang Mingzhu lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
During lunch break, Jiang Mingzhu took her lunch box to the small conference room again.
Sure enough, Zhang Jing wandered outside the door again, and then went to the bathroom furtively.
Jiang Mingzhu followed calmly and turned her phone into recording mode.
During the lunch break, there was almost no one in the bathroom on this floor. As soon as I walked in, I heard Zhang Jing talking on the phone in the cubicle.
"I actually heard Mr. Zhou asking her to go to the office after get off work yesterday."
"Okay, Mr. Zhan, don't worry, I will continue to keep an eye on her."
Jiang Mingzhu crossed her arms and smiled so hard that her eyes rolled.
Zhan Yubai really began to doubt her. He even placed an informant in the company to tip off the news. Why, did he want to catch the girl in bed?
After the lunch break, Jiang Mingzhu went to Zhou Li's office with her mobile phone.
He was approving documents and promised not to be disturbed, so he didn't give Jiang Mingzhu a good look.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't mind his attitude and directly found the previous recording and pressed the play button.
Zhang Jing's words clearly rang out in the quiet office.
Zhou Li stopped flipping through the documents and raised his head to look at Jiang Mingzhu.
After the recording was played, Jiang Mingzhu said with a smile: "It seems that my brother has been exposed. Mr. Zhan has already arranged for his spy to keep an eye on me."
Zhou Li: "Zhang Jing?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I will avoid her from now on."
Zhou Li: "You don't have to worry about it."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You're so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by her?"
Zhou Li was noncommittal.
Jiang Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "Oh~ I understand. My brother's fiancée is obsessed with me. Even if she knows that you are messing around behind her back, she still can't bear to break up with you."
"It's really touching." Jiang Mingzhu wiped away the non-existent tears.
His movements are artificial and his tone is strange.
Zhou Li: "Are you done? Just go out after you're done."
Jiang Mingzhu finally discovered it, and Zhou Li didn't seem to be very afraid of being discovered by Zhan Yubai.
Combining what Fu Xiaozhi said, it's easier to understand.
Zhan Yubai had been following Zhou Li for so many years, and finally managed to hook up with this golden turtle son-in-law. From an orphan without a father or mother, she became the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. The Zhou family also planned to let her enter Wanhua to hold important positions after her marriage.
This is more cost-effective than business. As long as she doesn't defend her position as the "major wife", she can turn a blind eye and pass by.
——
Before Mr. Fu's birthday, Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai were called back to Zhou's house by Jin Rou.
Because of the relationship between the Fu family and the Zhou family, Jin Rou was afraid that Zhan Yubai would be wronged, so she specifically asked Zhou Li to bring Zhan Yubai to his birthday tomorrow.
Zhan Yubai said considerately: "Auntie, I'd better not go. Don't embarrass Zhou Li."
Jin Rou: "You are a member of our Zhou family, so naturally you have to go there. I have prepared gifts for you."
Jin Rou looked at Zhou Li again, "I'll leave Yubai to you tomorrow. If you dare to make her suffer, see how I deal with you."
Zhou Li did not answer Jin Rou, looked at Zhan Yubai and asked, "Are you going?"
Zhan Yubai: "If you are in trouble..."
"What's the problem?" Jin Rou interrupted Zhan Yubai, "I've already set a date for the selection. You must go to this occasion."
Zhou Li: "What day should I choose?"
Jin Rou: "Of course it's your engagement day."
Zhou Li frowned tightly, "Why didn't I know?"
Jin Rou: "Isn't this what I'm telling you? Your grandfather has found someone to choose. You are not in a hurry to get married. The engagement ceremony has to be held. You can't wrong Yu Bai."
Zhan Yubai used his peripheral vision to look at Zhou Li's expression. His expression was stern and his lips pursed into a straight line.
Zhan Yubai clenched his hands and smiled, "Auntie, I am not wronged. Zhou Li is very good to me."
Jin Rou: "You know how to speak for him."
In the evening, Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai stayed at Zhou's house for dinner. During the dinner, Jin Rou also kept talking about their engagement.
Zhou Li did not express his position clearly. He always spoke little and everyone was used to it.
After leaving Zhou's house, Zhou Li took Zhan Yubai back to his apartment. When he got off the car, Zhan Yubai asked him, "Do you want to go up and sit down?"
Zhou Li: "It's very late."
Zhan Yubai's face turned pale instantly. She pinched her palms and forced out a smile, "Then be careful on the road and go to bed early."
Zhou Li: "Good night."
Zhan Yubai went upstairs with a pale face. When he stepped out of the elevator, there was a man standing in the corridor. He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. It looked like he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Zhan Yubai saw his appearance clearly, and his face became even paler, "Why are you here?"
The man laughed carelessly and approached her step by step.
——
Jiang Mingzhu had previously promised Fu Xiaozhi to attend her grandfather's birthday.
On Saturday afternoon, Jiang Mingzhu went to the hotel with a souvenir, and Fu Xiaozhi met her in the parking lot.
Just after meeting Fu Xiaozhi and without saying a few words, he saw Zhou Li getting out of an extended commercial vehicle.
Next to him was Zhan Yubai, both of whom were wearing carefully matched couple's outfits.
Fu Xiaozhi became angry when she saw Zhan Yubai.
Zhou Li saw Jiang Mingzhu next to Fu Xiaozhi for the first time.
Why is she here?
