Chapter 245 It seems Zhou Lu likes making tea.

I didn't voice my guess in front of Xie Nanzhi just now because I was afraid she would worry, but what needs to be addressed still needs to be addressed.

Mu Lin put away his playful smile and said, "Yes, I'll set off for the capital immediately."

Just one day later, Nanzheng Group ran into trouble again. A senior employee of Nanzheng revealed that Xie Nanzhi had created two sets of accounts to evade taxes.

Because it was a report filed under a real name, the incident immediately became a trending topic. Media outlets sensationalized the story extensively, and the next day, an investigation team was dispatched to investigate the matter.

Nanzheng Group has suspended operations to cooperate with the investigation.

Xie Nanzhi was also thrust into the spotlight, with many media outlets attributing her success to illegal and improper means, and some even suggesting that she must have committed other illegal acts.

Otherwise, a woman's rapid development in just three years would be remarkable, especially in today's saturated market where even men might struggle to make a name for themselves, let alone a woman like Xie Nanzhi.

This time, Xie Nanzhi had a complete break.

Just then, Zhou Mubin returned from his "charity" trip and specially organized a gathering, inviting quite a few people.

At 7 p.m., the Jiangnan region was shrouded in twilight. This was a newly opened clubhouse in the port city last year, with all its facilities built to the standards of a top-tier clubhouse.

Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chi arrived on time. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a scene of dazzling lights and decadent atmosphere.

Wei Chizheng held Xie Nanzhi in his arms and went straight up the elevator.

Once upstairs, the two held hands and entered the private room.

After sitting down, Xie Nanzhi lowered her eyes, took out her vibrating phone, and saw a message from an unknown number.

Nanzhi, I can help you.

She glanced at it, had no intention of replying at all, and simply closed the phone and put it back in her pocket.

She looked up and saw Wei Chizheng staring at her with a smile on his lips.

Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips. "You saw it?"

Wei Chizheng replied, "No."

Xie Nanzhi, unsure of his words, raised an eyebrow. "It's nothing, just a clown. I can handle it."

Wei Chizheng believed in her abilities, and a smile played on his lips. "Yes, I know."

The two chatted as if nothing was wrong, which appeared intimate to outsiders. Xie Yuanyang, sitting next to Wei Chizheng, leaned back in his chair and teased him.

"Nanzhi, you two have had enough. You're together every day and still so lovey-dovey?"

Xibei, with her legs crossed, looked carefree and relaxed. In private, she was nothing like a scholar. "Exactly, you two are so inhumane. Are you trying to torture this single dog like me?"

As she finished speaking, Xie Nanzhi casually lifted her eyelids, a half-smile playing on her lips, "Envious?"

Seeing Xie Nanzhi's smug expression, Xi Bei wondered how she had never noticed this side of Xie Nanzhi before. "Envy my ass."

Wei Chizheng and Xie Nanzhi are in cahoots; how could he let his wife fight alone?

Wei Chizheng said lazily, "Xibei, you have a good grasp of your own situation. However, having been single for so many years, you naturally don't understand the happiness of us in Nanzhi. How about I introduce Mulin to you?"

Speaking of this, I have to mention a little incident that happened during these three years.

I remember it was at a gathering like this, where we played Truth or Dare. Xibei lost and chose Dare.

As a result, Zhou Mubin, that mischievous friend, suggested that Xibei choose a member of the opposite sex present to kiss, or else she would have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty.

Before this, everyone had actually drunk quite a bit.

Xibei is proud by nature and will never back down. She glanced around at the crowd, then suddenly grabbed Mulin, who was sitting next to her, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

The entire private room erupted in cheers.

Wei Chizheng learned about this incident during a casual chat with Xie Nanzhi, when the topic came up unintentionally.

Xibei's face darkened immediately. "Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Nanzhi, let's replace him. This guy talks too much."

Xibei picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp.

Thinking back to that time, the only men present were Xie Yuanyang, Huang Yaozu, Zhou Mubin, and Mu Lin.

Xie Yuanyang's wife was sitting right next to him. Huang Yaozu was pursuing Nanzhi. As for Zhou Mubin, he was too familiar with him. They saw each other all the time. If they kissed, he would be laughed at for the rest of his life.

There is only Mu Lin, whom I am neither familiar with nor know, and more importantly, I may not see him once in eight hundred years.

Without further ado, Xibei kissed Mulin.

Nanzhi listened to their jokes and casually said, "I can't bear to."

Her words successfully pleased Wei Chizheng, and his gaze towards her seemed to overflow with affection, making Xibei unable to bear it any longer.

"This is really an eyesore," Xibei muttered, then looked towards the door. "Why hasn't Lao Zhou arrived yet? He made us wait at the appointed time. Does he even have a conscience?"

About ten minutes later, Zhou Mubin finally arrived, albeit late.

He walked into the private room first, and Xi Bei was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on him when a woman walked out from behind him.

Zhou Mubin introduced with a smile, "This is Jin Moli, you can call her Xiao Mo."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Xi Bei and Xie Nanzhi exchanged glances and immediately understood the identity of this Jin Moli.

Jin Moli wore a white dress and had light makeup. She wasn't particularly stunning, but she gave off a pure and innocent vibe.

Jin Moli smiled slightly and greeted everyone politely, "Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Mo, Zhou Lu's girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Xibei rolled her eyes.

Whether Jin Moli saw it or not, Xie Nanzhi saw it clearly.

Zhou Mubin led Jin Moli to her seat, his attentiveness was impeccable. Xi Bei muttered under her breath, "Nan Zhi, this is the first time I've ever seen Old Zhou so attentive to a woman. Sister Bai Zhou has some tricks up her sleeve."

Having known Zhou Mubin for so many years, he changes women more often than he changes clothes, but this is the first woman he's introduced to them as a girlfriend, showing such importance to them.

Xie Nanzhi cautioned, "Keep your voice down, it's not good if someone hears you. We still have to give Lao Zhou face."

Xibei didn't care about anything else; she was convinced that Jin Moli was the White Bone Demon and Zhou Mubin was Tang Zeng, completely blinded by sorcery.

Xibei stood up, walked over to Jin Moli, and plopped down next to her. "Old Zhou, is this your standard for choosing a girlfriend?"

Zhou Mubin winked at Xibei, signaling her to say less, "You're a single dog, what do you know? When you meet the right person, what standards are there?"

From a distance, Xie Nanzhi couldn't hear what they were talking about, while Wei Chizheng, with a hint of curiosity, remarked, "It seems that Lawyer Zhou enjoys making tea."

Xie Nanzhi could tell from the insults.

She raised an eyebrow. "You can tell the difference between tea without even having spoken to it?"

Wei Chizheng scoffed, "Men are much better at judging women than women are at judging them. The reason men don't expose them is because they enjoy it."

Sure enough, men understand men best.

Xie Nanzhi briefly explained Jin Moli's situation, and Wei Chizheng laughed as he listened, saying, "I have no comment."

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open again.

I thought he was a waiter, but I never expected it to be Huang Yaozu.
