Zhan Jingting wheeled himself in. "Madam Zhan, do you really want me to disconnect the internet?"

"I'm curious about how things will develop," Qiao Wanwan said anxiously. "Netizens are now trying to uncover your identity, which could very well get you into trouble."

"No one can find me, don't worry."

"are you sure?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you?" Zhan Jingting took the iPad from her hand. "Wanwan, I didn't let you see it because I didn't want you to be bothered by this person's pointless things."

"But I also want to help, since the matter started because of me."

"If that's the case, then it's my fault. If it weren't for that black card, the Qiao family wouldn't have asked you for money, and none of this would have happened."

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle, "Why do you always try to take everything on yourself?"

"To be honest," Zhan Jingting touched her face, "I've already taken care of things. I don't need your help. I'm just waiting for things to escalate to their maximum extent before taking action."

Qiao Wanwan rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. "It seems that everything is under your control."

"You must trust your husband; he will always protect you."

Qiao Wanwan smiled slightly. "Yes, I believe you."

Zhan Jingting's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was about to kiss her when there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Madam,” came the maid’s voice from outside the door, “someone is looking for you. They say they are your good friend, surnamed Xiang.”

"Xiang Yang is here!" Qiao Wanwan hurriedly stood up. "I haven't had my phone with me these past few days, he must have been so worried about me!"

Zhan Jingting's expression darkened slightly.

Qiao Wanwan went downstairs and saw two people sitting in the living room. "Zhan Yin, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to save you." Zhan Yin said casually, crossing his legs. "Little cripple, you live in a place like this? The security is terrible. There's paint splashed on the outside and insulting words written on it."

Xiang Yang looked worried. "Boss, your phone was always unanswered and eventually turned off. I was terrified and came to find you as soon as possible, but because some radicals had been in this villa area, they tightened security and wouldn't let us in. I had no choice but to ask Zhan Yin for help. I didn't expect him to have so much influence; he let us in right away."

Zhan Yin said smugly, "My abilities are not limited to this. Even Lao Yu came to me, asking me to plead with the school not to expel you."

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "The school didn't expel me this time. Did you help them?"

"Do you think Lao Yu can handle things after they've blown up like this?" Zhan Yin became even more arrogant. "How about this, for Lao Yu's sake, you'll work for me from now on. I'll take over the family business after I graduate, and we're just missing someone like you!"

"Aren't you studying medicine?"

"Stunned now? I have a double degree. I have a spot in the finance department, and studying medicine is just a hobby of mine."

"I see."

Zhan Yin was overjoyed. "So you've accepted my invitation?"

"No, not at all." Qiao Wanwan refused directly, "I won't associate with you."

"What?" Zhan Yin almost doubted his life. "Do you know how many people want to follow me? If it were anyone else, they would have knelt down and kowtowed to me to thank me by now."

Qiao Wanwan took a sip of water. "Then go find someone else and enjoy the pleasure of being the ancestor."

Zhan Yin: "......"

"Qiao Wanwan, you still dare to say you don't like me? You're just playing hard to get!"

"Zhan, I forgot to tell you, I'm married and have no intention of having an affair, so you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Zhan Yin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Qiao Wanwan, don't tease me. It's fine for me to play around with you like I do, but who would be so foolish as to marry you?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deep, cold voice suddenly came from beside him, "Say it again."

Zhan Yin suddenly stood up, and in an instant felt his scalp tingle and his limbs go cold.

He looked toward the elevator, following the sound, and saw a cold yet familiar face!

Zhan Yin's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down, stammering, "Uncle... Uncle..."

Qiao Wanwan: "......" ? ? ?

Xiang Yang: "......"!!

Zhan Jingting wheeled over and looked coldly at Zhan Yin, "I'll say it again, whoever wants to play around with her, whoever is crazy enough to marry her."

Zhan Yin trembled with fear, "Uncle...you and Qiao Wanwan...know each other?"

"Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Qiao Wanwan." Zhan Jingting held Qiao Wanwan's hand. "Zhan Yin, call her Auntie."

Zhan Yin: "......"!!

Oh no, he must be half asleep and hallucinating!

Qiao Wanwan was no less surprised than Zhan Yin. "Zhan Jingting, is he your nephew?"

"yes."

"No wonder he's the school bully; that arrogant, self-important attitude of not taking anyone seriously is definitely hereditary," Qiao Wanwan muttered to herself.

Zhan Jingting chuckled softly, "Mrs. Zhan, are you praising me or scolding me, hmm?"

"Praise, of course I'll praise you."

Zhan Yin almost thought he was seeing things. His aloof and unattainable uncle had just smiled?

What's wrong with this world!

Qiao Wanwan looked at the stunned Zhan Yin and said with a forced smile, "Nephew, why are you standing? Sit down. By the way, for the sake of our kinship, you can work for me from now on. Anyway, if I go into medicine after graduation, I'll need an assistant, and I'll take good care of you."
