It has been a week since that meeting at the hot spring hotel. Jiang Mingzhu has not met or contacted Zhou Li during this period.
God always likes to arrange such bloody encounters.
But the person next to Zhou Li today was not Zhan Yubai, but Xu Siyan.
"Fourth brother, Si Yan." Yuanye waved to them, "Are you two coming to dinner?"
Zhou Li didn't answer, his eyes fell directly on Jiang Mingzhu.
Xu Siyan: "My fourth brother and I are talking about a new project, what about you?"
Yuanye: "Then you guys talk. It's Zhuzhu's first day at work today, and I'll take her to have a meal."
Xu Siyan: "Going to work?"
Yuan Ye: "She is my assistant now."
Thinking of Zhou Li's dismissal of Jiang Mingzhu, Yuanye couldn't help but said something strangely: "I have to thank Fourth Brother for this. If you hadn't driven her away, I wouldn't have been able to dig her out. Zhuzhu is really reliable at work. He helped me solve my problems on the first day, hahaha.”
Zhou Li sneered, looked away from Jiang Mingzhu's face, and entered the restaurant without looking back.
Xu Siyan then followed Zhou Li and left.
Yuanye asked Jiang Mingzhu with a playful smile: "Do you want to relieve your anger?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Aren't you afraid that he will break up with you?"
Although Zhou Li didn't say anything just now, the look on his face could kill someone. He's such a small-minded dog——
Yuan Ye: "That's not the case."
Jiang Mingzhu took Yuan Ye's arm and said, "I must treat you to this meal tonight."
Deck upstairs.
As soon as Zhou Li sat down, he glanced out the window and saw Jiang Mingzhu pulling Yuan Ye towards the restaurant.
The streetlight shone on her face, and her smile was so dazzling.
Xu Siyan's expression was no better than Zhou Li's.
Jiang Mingzhu and Yuan Ye were already very close, but now that they have gone to work for Yuan Ye, they are inseparable.
If they are really together...
Xu Siyan: "Fourth brother, you don't care about the wilderness?"
Zhou Li: "What do you care?"
Xu Siyan: "Jiang Mingzhu and him..."
Zhou Li: "It has nothing to do with me."
Xu Siyan: "You really don't like Jiang Mingzhu anymore?"
Zhou Li: "Have I ever said I like her?"
Xu Siyan: "..."
Zhou Li: "You care about her very much?"
Xu Siyan: "...No, I just can't figure out your attitude towards her."
Zhou Li: "Heh."
——
After dinner, Yuanye sent Jiang Mingzhu back to the Xiangfu Villa.
After the car stopped, Yuanye and Jiang Mingzhu got out of the car together.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's getting late, go back and rest quickly."
Yuanye: "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'll drive there."
Yuanye: "No, it's not safe. If something happens to you, you'll have to beat me to death."
Jiang Mingzhu wanted to say something else, but Yuan Ye directly rubbed her face: "That's it, go back quickly."
Yuanye watched Jiang Mingzhu enter the house before driving away.
He was in such a good mood, humming a tune while driving that he didn't even notice the Bentley parked not far away.
Zhou Li lowered the window and looked towards the illuminated villa. In front of his eyes was the scene of Jiang Mingzhu being rubbed by Yuan Ye just now.
He sneered, opened the car door and walked out.
——
In the evening, when Fang Qinyang was away, Jiang Mingzhu came back and took a shower. When she went to the kitchen to pour water for a drink, she found that the garbage had not been cleaned.
Jiang Mingzhu opened the door of the villa with a garbage bag. When she saw Zhou Li at the door, she screamed in fright.
The garbage bag fell and the water in my hand was spilled.
All of it spilled on Zhou Li’s expensive suit.
Half a bottle of water was poured on his lower abdomen, and it reached his crotch, making him wet to the core.
Jiang Mingzhu lowered his head and glanced:
"..."
Zhou Li threw the garbage bag in her hand out the door, pushed her shoulders and squeezed into the living room, closing the door smoothly.
The display in the living room was similar to the last time he came here. There was a life-size doll on the sofa that he bought the last time he went to the mall with her.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's against the law to break into a private house, brother."
Zhou Li: "You went to Rongxing?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Can't I find another job after being fired from Wanhua?"
Zhou Li: "Resign."
Jiang Mingzhu: "If you resign, will you support me?"
She approached Zhou Li and raised her arm towards his chin.
Just when Zhou Li thought Jiang Mingzhu was going to touch him like before, she suddenly stopped and let out a contemptuous laugh.
"I'm not your pet. I'll just follow you with a hook. I'll remember all the harm you did to me."
Zhou Li: "Hurt?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Doesn't what you did to me before count as harm?"
Zhou Li: "Do you care?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I love you, why don't you care?"
After Zhou Li heard these three words, his eyes suddenly turned cold. As soon as he moved his lips, Jiang Mingzhu took the initiative.
"I know, I'm not worthy of falling in love with you." Jiang Mingzhu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Is this okay? Can you go?"
Zhou Li: "I regretted it."
Jiang Mingzhu's brain was shut down by his abrupt words, and she couldn't figure out what they meant.
Her expression of slightly opening her lips out of ignorance was no different from seduction to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders, grazing her lips with his thumb: "Like before."
Jiang Mingzhu: "What kind of thing? Give you a shady underground lover, and then get killed by your fiancée unknowingly?"
Zhou Li: "Not this time."
His tone was as unarguable as ever, with the inherent sense of oppression from a superior.
It's not negotiation, it's unilateral pressure.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do you think I will agree?"
Zhou Li: "You have no choice."
He still had a cold face: "Don't hurt the people around you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "What do you want?"
Zhou Li: "I made it very clear, resign and keep distance from Yuanye."
Jiang Mingzhu: "If I don't agree, are you going to deal with Yuanye?"
Zhou Li: "The choice is yours."
This is the first time Jiang Mingzhu has seen someone express such a high-sounding threat.
She threw Zhou Li away and took a step back to distance herself from him.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I didn't overestimate my capabilities to the point of thinking that you would go to war against Yuanye for me, and you wouldn't be able to deal with him either."
Although she was angry after being threatened, Jiang Mingzhu was sober.
The Zhou family and the Yuanye family were also friends for three generations, so how could they break up over a woman?
Zhou Li: "Very smart."
"But I'm not talking about the wilderness." Zhou Li said a name expressionlessly: "Fang Qinyang."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Zhou Li continued to report Fang Qinyang's parents' information, as well as her work information.
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore: "Shameless despicable villain, do you think you can threaten me like this?"
Zhou Li: "Her parents don't like you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Damn it, I even found this.
Zhou Li: "You think about it yourself."
Jiang Mingzhu gritted her teeth, the surging anger rising up, and she was driven to the extreme after seeing his scornful eyes.
With her head feeling hot, Jiang Mingzhu strode up to Zhou Li, raised her arm and slapped the expressionless face hard.
