Zheng Linxu had just learned about this matter and had no time to deal with these clues.
But Jiang Mingzhu's reminder quickly made him react: "Wen Qi is still in Beicheng?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't know about that. I've never met her, and I don't know what grudges there are between you."
Zheng Linxu took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Liu Zhu. After seeing the reply, she quickly stood up: "Can you and Zhou Li go to Fu's house?"
——
Even if Zheng Linxu didn't mention it, Jiang Mingzhu would go to Zhou Li and talk about it.
Although Fu Xiaozhi is very popular in the Fu family, the more she is like this, the more disappointed her elders will be when something goes wrong.
When Jiang Mingzhu met Mr. Fu before, she felt that he was not that simple.
After all, the person who stepped down from that position, no matter how kind he is, has a tough hand, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get up in the first place.
Although the Fu family said they didn't care much about the so-called "well-matched", it could be seen from the people Mr. Fu had introduced to Fu Xiaozhi before that they still cared.
At least with Zheng Linxu's background, they have to weigh it up.
Not because of money, but because the Zheng family was not innocent when they started their business in the early years, and Zheng Linxu's career is in the United States.
It's too sensitive for a family like theirs.
After Jiang Mingzhu and Zheng Linxu met, they went directly to Wanhua to find Zhou Li.
She didn't notify her in advance before coming. Zhou Li was surprised when he saw her: "Why did you come here suddenly?"
Jiang Mingzhu closed the door and walked to Zhou Li, hugging him as usual, "Something happened to Zhizhi, can you take me to Fu's house?"
Zhou Li: "What's wrong with her?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Someone sent a photo of her and Boss Zheng to Fu's house."
It took her a few minutes to explain to Zhou Li what was going on.
After Zhou Li heard this, his expression became more serious. After pondering for a few seconds, he asked again: "What did Zheng Linxu say?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Zhou Li: "I understand."
Jiang Mingzhu felt a little guilty because of this incident.
After all, it was because of her that Fu Xiaozhi and Zheng Linxu got to know each other. Although she was not responsible for getting to this point, she could not escape the blame.
Zhou Li saw Jiang Mingzhu's guilt from her expression and held her hand tightly: "It's none of your business."
Jiang Mingzhu: "That's what I said, but I really don't feel well."
She asked Zhou Li: "Will Mr. Fu really keep Zhizhi locked up like this?"
"Probably in the short term." Zhou Li replied.
Jiang Mingzhu: "How long is a short period of time?"
Zhou Li: "Three months to a year."
Jiang Mingzhu: "So long?"
Zhou Li: "That's the Fu family."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I know, but hasn't Mr. Fu always been very kind to Zhizhi..."
Zhou Li: "If Zheng Linxu is willing to take responsibility, he may compromise until the end of the struggle."
Zhou Li asked sharply, "Is he willing?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Zhou Li: "If you don't take the initiative or refuse, you won't be responsible."
"He is your elder, and I have to respect him." Zhou Li forced back what he originally wanted to say, and followed it up with: "If he can't do it, don't provoke him again."
Now that things have happened, there is no need to make a special trip to remind Zheng Linsu. With his brain, he must understand better than anyone else.
Maybe he has already thought of a solution.
Jiang Mingzhu could easily hear Zhou Li's subtext, and she leaned her head into Zhou Li's arms.
Jiang Mingzhu sighed: "No need to respect, I also think he is a scumbag in this matter. If he had handled the relationship between men and women outside from the beginning, Zhizhi would not have been plotted at all."
Zhou Li: "Scheming? What do you mean?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I suspect that the photo this time was sent to Fu's house by a woman who likes Boss Zheng."
Zhou Li: "That cousin of Jin Yangshen?"
In his impression, this was the only woman around Zheng Linxu who liked him.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's not him."
Zhou Li: "There is more."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I only found out after hearing what Zhizhi said."
She told Zhou Li in detail about Wen Qi's identity and background.
In fact, she had never discussed Wen Qi's affairs with Zheng Linxu alone. As a junior, she knew too little about Zheng Linxu's private life.
Maybe Fu Xiaozhi doesn't know much.
Zhou Li: "She has met Fu Xiaozhi."
Jiang Mingzhu: "She had previously negotiated sponsorship with the foundation in the name of the company, but the negotiation collapsed because she threatened Zhizhi with Zheng Linxu."
Even if Jiang Mingzhu spoke briefly, Zhou Li could guess what Wen Qi was negotiating with Fu Xiaozhi.
Most likely, they regarded her as a person of ordinary origin and used threats and inducements on the grounds of sponsorship.
How could Fu Xiaozhi's bad temper be like this? Wen Qi must not have gotten any good words from her name.
Sending the photos back to the Fu family should be her revenge.
While Zhou Li was deep in thought, Jiang Mingzhu asked him again: "Can we go today?"
Zhou Li: "At least the day after tomorrow."
If Mr. Fu gets angry after bumping into him, not only may he not be able to see Fu Xiaozhi, but he may also add fuel to the fire.
Jiang Mingzhu guessed that she might not be able to go there today, but she became more worried after hearing the answer.
——
Fu Xiaozhi knelt down in the ancestral hall for the first time.
She is in good physical condition. She has been kneeling for more than ten hours and has no obvious discomfort other than pain in her back and numbness in her legs.
But at night, she finally understood why kneeling in the ancestral hall was a family law.
It was very cold at night in the backyard, and the late autumn night breeze already had a chilling feeling to my heart.
Fu Xiaozhi only wore a thin shirt. The windows around the ancestral hall were open, and the draft made her shiver.
When a person is cold, pain and fatigue will be infinitely magnified.
Fu Xiaozhi closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, holding on.
She loves all kinds of extreme sports and has much better endurance than ordinary people.
It's not difficult to survive the night.
Later in the night, when it was almost early in the morning, Fu Xiaozhi heard a rustling noise.
When she opened her eyes and turned around, she saw Fu Muye walking towards her with a quilt and a bag of food.
Fu Muye knelt down in front of Fu Xiaozhi. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried in his eyes.
Fu Xiaozhi smiled weakly: "Stop scolding me?"
Fu Muye: "You also know that you should scold me."
Compared with the questioning and scolding during the day, his tone this time was obviously more angry.
Fu Muye opened the quilt and put it on Fu Xiaozhi, took the bread from the bag, tore it open and handed it to her.
Fu Xiaozhi didn't drink even a drop of water all day, so she took the bread and started to wolf it down.
Fu Muye opened a box of milk and sent it to her, "Go and admit your mistake to grandpa tomorrow, and don't contact Zheng Linxu from now on."
Fu Xiaozhi drank a box of milk in one breath and threw the box directly to Fu Muye without responding to his words.
Fu Muye: "Aren't you still determined?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Why should I admit my mistake? I just slept with a man, and they made it sound like I had done some goddamn immoral thing."
Thinking of those ugly words, she felt angry, "You scolded me and you still want me to apologize. What a dream."
Fu Muye: "Are they scolding you because you slept with a man? It's because the person you're looking for is Zheng Linxu!"
His words were merciless: "Do you think Zheng Linxu will marry you?"
