"I can just find anywhere to sleep. I'm all grown up now, I can sleep anywhere," Huang Zheyue said casually.
No sooner had he finished speaking than his stomach began to rumble.
Zhou Mingli's gaze swept over him again.
Huang Zheyue became even more embarrassed, and her words became flustered, "I'll be leaving now."
"return."
Huang Zheyue, who was about to turn and leave, stopped in her tracks.
The two arrived at the newspaper's staff quarters, one after the other.
Zhou Mingli's gaze inadvertently swept towards the distance not far away.
There was a car parked there.
There seemed to be no one inside, but Zhou Mingli could make out the license plate of the car.
It's the same license plate number that Jiangci saw on the car back then.
Who could be sitting inside?
Guo Zhen?
It's still Xia Lei.
Zhou Mingli calmly turned the corner and entered the family building.
The car window was rolled down.
The person sitting inside was neither Guo Zhen nor Xia Lei.
It was Liu Yinyin.
She stared in shock at Zhou Mingli as he turned into the family building, her heart filled with panic.
Yesterday, Guo Zhen received a telegram saying that Jiang Ci's family had already gone to Beijing.
Liu Yinyin simply refused to believe it.
Based on Jiang porcelain?
Based on Zhou Mingli?
They are not from Beijing, they don't even have Beijing household registration, so how could they come to Beijing?
Guo Zhen had someone investigate.
The results came quickly.
“He has a close relationship with the Cheng family, and the Cheng family brought them here.”
Guo Zhen looked at Liu Yinyin and asked, "You two were together in Shanding Brigade. Didn't you know that Cheng Yehan was in the cowshed in Shanding Brigade?"
Liu Yinyin bit her lip, "I know. After Zhou Gou came back, he inadvertently revealed to Brother Lei that Cheng Yehan was the patriarch of the Cheng family. That's why Brother Lei wanted to frame Zhou Mingli's family and make me take over Jiang Ci's job of delivering meals. But... I ended up being framed instead..."
They went inside the fence.
Guo Zhen scoffed, "Foolish."
"Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli are not from Beijing at all. The Cheng family secretly arranged for them to be brought to Beijing. Can we report the Cheng family?"
Guo Zhen looked at Liu Yinyin's beautiful face.
A beautiful canary should indeed stay in a beautiful cage made of gold thread.
It doesn't need to be too intelligent or capable; it just needs to be pretty and obedient.
Guo Zhen calmly said, "It's no use."
"Cheng Yehan holds a pivotal position in the Ministry of Military Industry. Cheng Huasheng is the chief engineer of a research institute under the Ministry of Military Industry, and has at least two projects involving key national projects. Cheng Yehan's eldest grandson is the secretary to the municipal party secretary in the government, and his other three grandsons are either working abroad at the United Nations or in other government departments. Their relationships are deeply intertwined. Do you think a single report can bring down the Cheng family?"
The mere fact that Cheng Yehan submitted certain documents to the Ministry of Military Industry after returning to Beijing already elevated his status significantly. His superiors assigned no fewer than ten people to protect him secretly, fearing that this vital national asset might be assassinated or instigated by spies or secret agents.
Not to mention Cheng Huasheng, who inherited all of Cheng Yehan's talents and even surpassed his master.
Even Guo Zhen wouldn't choose to oppose the Cheng family unless it had to come to a life-or-death situation.
Liu Yinyin was filled with intense hatred.
She loathed Jiang Ci, loathed Zhou Mingli, and loathed their entire family.
In her mind, Jiang Ci was a wicked person who did all sorts of evil deeds. So why was such a bad person able to gain the appreciation of a big shot and come to Beijing?
The thought that Jiang Ci, like her, lived in Beijing made Liu Yinyin's brows furrow tightly, and she felt extremely irritated.
Guo Zhen's next words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving Liu Yinyin's scalp tingling.
"Zhou Mingli is now also working for the municipal government as a kitchen helper."
"Jiang Ci...it seems she joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Liu Yinyin was completely stunned.
Guo Zhen had promised Liu Yinyin to get rid of Jiang Ci's family, and now that they were right under his nose, things would be much easier.
He pulled Liu Yinyin into his arms and comforted her, "You don't need to be so anxious. Now that we're in Beijing, they'll only be easier to deal with."
Even if the Cheng family can protect her, how could they possibly handle every single detail?
Even without an opportunity, Guo Zhen can create one and bring Jiang Ci down.
Guo Zhen's words did not make Liu Yinyin feel much better.
The next morning, she spent the whole morning in Guo Zhen's small villa in a daze. In the afternoon, she asked Guo Zhen's driver to take her to find where Zhou Mingli's family was staying.
Fortunately, Guo Zhen guessed Liu Yinyin's thoughts and told the driver the address in advance.
It was very cold outside. Liu Yinyin's skin was very delicate and couldn't withstand the cold wind, so she sat in the car anxiously waiting.
Even though Guo Zhen had already told her that the Zhou family would not have a good ending, she still wanted to see it for herself.
When she saw Zhou Mingli appear before her, dressed smartly, and then saw him walk upstairs, Liu Yinyin's eyes turned red with anger.
In fact, Liu Yinyin didn't know what she was angry about.
She just thought about how Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci had both moved to Beijing and were living very prosperous and comfortable lives, with their own homes and jobs. Then she thought about how, after she arrived in Beijing, her things were first stolen by Xia Lei's sisters-in-law, and then she was sent to a tenement by Grandpa Xia. She lived a life of fear and anxiety every day until she met Guo Zhen and her life finally improved.
The disparity between the two made Liu Yinyin extremely resentful.
A cold wind blew by.
Liu Yinyin felt her face was wrinkling from the cold wind outside, so she quickly rolled up the car window.
"Take me to Brother Lei."
The driver glanced at Liu Yinyin hesitantly, then drove away from the apartment building without saying anything.
