The store manager suddenly came over to apologize to her, and Shi Nian didn't think much of it at first.

Now that Qin Yajing said that, Shi Nian suddenly understood something.

A ripple appeared in her eyes, and then she looked at Qin Yajing and said, "I have no background, but I have a backer, Zhan Xiuchen. My backer is Zhan Xiuchen, you should know that!"

........

Who exactly is Zhan Xiuchen?

Shi Nian had no idea.

She knew very well that the man didn't want to tell her.

She had asked the maid, intentionally or unintentionally, but the maid remained tight-lipped.

That night, Zhan Xiuchen asked her why she didn't ask who he really was.

The truth is, she knew very well that if Zhan Xiuchen wanted to speak, he would.

The man clearly didn't want her to know.

If she presses for answers, that would be counterproductive.

The servants at Baiyu Palace wouldn't reveal anything either; she couldn't very well go out on the street and grab someone to ask who Zhan Xiuchen really was.

But now, an opportunity has arisen.

Although Qin Yajing came from a poor background, she must have accumulated a lot of connections and infiltrated high society circles to get to where she is today.

Zhan Xiuchen was clearly no ordinary person.

Therefore, she should know Zhan Xiuchen.

So Shi Nian said that on purpose.

She wanted to find out from Qin Yajing who Zhan Xiuchen really was.

Qin Yajing was shocked when she heard Zhan Xiuchen's name.

But after all, he is a big star who spends his life in the spotlight.

Qin Yajing is a first-rate expert in emotional management.

Therefore, her surprise quickly disappeared, like a dragonfly skimming the water, vanishing in an instant, completely unnoticed.

Qin Yajing laughed: "Oh, Zhan Xiuchen, so your backer is Zhan Xiuchen."

At this point, Qin Yajing rested her chin on her hand.

She seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "No wonder the coffee shop manager came to apologize to you. Maybe this coffee shop is Zhan Xiuchen's business. After all, he is the richest man in the entire country of A."

Shi Nian's eyes flickered slightly.

She had previously guessed that Zhan Xiuchen was a businessman.

And now it seems that I was right.

He really is a businessman.

However, Zhan Xiuchen was more significant than she had imagined.

She had previously thought that Zhan Xiuchen was just a wealthy businessman.

Who would have thought he was the richest man?

"But he's so rich, and he's your backer, so why did you come to work for me?" Qin Yajing asked again.

“It’s his business if he has money, but I don’t,” Shi Nian said.

Qin Yajing: "......."

In that instant, Qin Yajing suddenly saw a reflection of Shi Nian's past self on her face.

Stubborn yet sensitive.

It also reveals a tiny bit of innocent stupidity.

Qin Yajing smiled and said, "I called you over because my agent was worried that you were sent by my competitor. But to be honest, since you also have the surname Shi, I really thought you were sent by my old rival, Shi Yu."

Shi Nian paused for a moment.

Opponent Shigure?

Shi Nian moved her lips slightly.

She wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't.

........

presidential palace.

The cell phone rang abruptly.

This is a private phone call.

Zhan Xiuchen accepted the order.

A voice, naturally languid and charming, rang out: "Xiu Chen, so when did you become a backer for a girl from the slums?"

A strange light flashed in Zhan Xiuchen's dark eyes, but he wasn't too surprised.

Shi Nian left early and returned late. Zhan Xiuchen saw that Shi Nian was unwilling to talk about it, so he did not press her for details.

But he couldn't rest easy just like that.

So Zhan Xiuchen then sent Afeng to follow Shi Nian and see what Shi Nian was up to.

Therefore, he already knew.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yajing also noticed this errand boy who she shouldn't have noticed.

"You know," Zhan Xiu said in a deep voice.

Qin Yajing laughed and said, "You sent people to follow her? Are you afraid she'll be bullied? Xiu Chen, you really do cherish her."

Qin Yajing's voice was naturally beautiful.

When she says the word "baby," it's so sweet it gives you goosebumps.

"Why not just give her a sum of money?" Qin Yajing added, "She needs money to work."

"She has too much pride," Zhan Xiu sighed.

Therefore, he could only send someone to secretly follow his young wife, fearing that she would be bullied while working in the wealthy area.

"Is it the same as before?" Qin Yajing asked thoughtfully.

"It is even worse than that."

Qin Yajing also sighed.

She said, "That's not good. If you're too proud, you'll suffer sooner or later."

After a pause, Qin Yajing continued, "But that's not necessarily true. Back then, I had no one to protect me, while she had you protecting her. She might not have suffered much, but..."

Qin Yajing asked, "How do you know a girl from the slums, and what's your relationship with her?"

"Ya Jing, you're asking too many questions," Zhan Xiu said in a deep voice.

Qin Yajing wasn't annoyed. She laughed and said, "I dare to ask so many questions because I helped you a lot. You deliberately hid your identity from her? But she must have become suspicious, so she's trying to get it out of me."

But how could you possibly get that information out of them?

Qin Yajing has worked her way up over the years.

She had long seen through Shi Nian's little schemes perfectly.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiu's eyes darkened slightly, and then he sighed helplessly.

Read it now.

Really.

You'd say she's so stubborn that she's sometimes a bit silly.

But she is also flexible and adaptable.

For example, knowing that he doesn't want to talk about it.

On the surface, they pretended not to want to ask.

But secretly they were trying to get information out of others.

It's like a cunning little fox.

"She'll find out sooner or later," Zhan Xiu said after a moment.

"I don't care whether she wants to or not, she'll find out sooner or later," Qin Yajing said. "But you clearly don't want her to know right now, so I've done you a huge favor, Xiu Chen. You're a grateful person, so are you sure you don't want to answer my question?"

Zhan Xiuchen chuckled and sighed, no longer hiding anything.

He said, "Ya Jing, come to my wedding with her in two months. She is a woman I chose from the slums, a woman I don't know if she is lucky or unlucky."

Qin Yajing was taken aback.

A flash of white light went through her mind, and Qin Yajing suddenly exclaimed, "Zhan Xiuchen, you want to—"

The sound got stuck in my throat!

Qin Yajing looked around warily.

After confirming that no one was around, Qin Yajing covered her mouth and whispered, "I know what you're trying to do! Do you know how dangerous this is?"
