"Look, you don't believe me when I say nothing's wrong, and you get upset when I tell you." Qin Zheng pinched the tip of her nose, amused by her expression.
Ye Yun was angry and punched his chest with her fist. "You still dare to say that? You knew I would be unhappy if I heard her name. Were you doing this on purpose to annoy me?"
"No, no..."
Qin Zheng burst out laughing.
The happier he was, the more uncomfortable Ye Yun felt, and she got up to leave his embrace.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng grabbed her wrist, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her back into his arms.
The man lowered his head, affectionately nuzzling her nose with his own, whispering in a husky voice with a hint of amusement, "Don't be angry, she didn't come to talk about love, she came to talk about work."
hiss……
"Seriously working? What are you thinking about?" A slight pain shot through her earlobe. It was Qin Zheng, displeased with her disdainful gaze, gently biting the soft flesh of her earlobe, a gesture that was both accusatory and punishing.
That wasn't enough; the man bent down, wanting to kiss her as well.
Ye Yun quickly gave him a push.
They say it's a respectable job, but who knows if it really is?
Qin Zheng chuckled and patiently explained in a gentle voice, "Her father switched to the business world, but the marriage he arranged for her went wrong. Not only was the man's reputation ruined, but she and her father were also affected. No one in the provincial capital dared to cooperate with them, so they came to me and Gu Jin for help."
Hiss... X2
Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh, "Life is so unpredictable."
The person who had always looked down on Qin Zheng and bossed him around, treating Qin Zheng's work like a toy to be tossed around, one day actually asked Qin Zheng for help.
Indeed, Cai Manni's wedding day was a gathering of all the prominent figures in the provincial capital.
The groom's reputation was ruined in front of so many powerful and influential people on his wedding day, and everyone knew that it was Cai Manni's doing.
Nowadays, everyone in the provincial capital knows that Cai Manni is a prickly person. Cooperating with her family might end up like the groom. Who would want to die?
But Mr. Cai still wanted to enter the business world.
Especially in this era that is beginning to focus on commercial development, he must open the door to business for the Cai family for the sake of future generations and preserve the family's honor.
Otherwise, a hundred years from now, no one will remember that there was once a Cai family in Huaicheng.
"So what are your plans?"
"I don't care."
Qin Zheng blurted out, flicked his hand, and let out a cold laugh from his nose.
"I was only responsible for the frontline battles. Gu Jin was responsible for finding connections and pulling strings. Lao Gao handled the cooperation and company management. So as soon as she explained her purpose, I handed the task over to Lao Gao to deal with her, and then I ran home!"
Ye Yun: 6.
"Wife, did I do a good job?" Qin Zheng asked smugly, then hugged her and kissed her.
Ye Yun quickly pushed him again.
"Don't just keep pushing me away, praise me instead." Qin Zheng wouldn't let go of her, stubbornly leaning down to kiss her cheek again.
Ye Yun could no longer tolerate it.
While pushing the man away, she gritted her teeth and said, "Stop messing around, there are still people around..."
Um?
Qin Zheng followed her gaze to the opposite side and saw Guo Lili, who was in a daze.
The person, lost in thought, didn't notice them. Instead, they stared blankly out the window, their expression unfocused, a faint sadness in their eyes.
Qin Zheng clicked his tongue.
Soon, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. He leaned down and whispered in Ye Yun's ear, "Wife, I have a good idea for you..."
oh?
Ye Yun listened intently.
...
The next day, Guo Lili, who was staying in the small villa, lay crookedly on the sofa like an old lady, ordering the nanny around to pour her water and cut apples for her. The nanny was so angry that she threw things and hit the nanny in the kitchen.
"Pah! Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd traveled back to the Qing Dynasty. They really think they're some rich young lady from a powerful family!"
"She treats people like dogs, look at her smug little face!"
"A sister who had long been cut off from her family, the couple who brought her into their home are kind-hearted, do they really think they're that close?"
“If we were really servants, she wouldn’t be the master of this house. If it weren’t for Yun’s sake, who would bother with her!”
"She's really made a fool of herself, thinking she's some kind of princess. She should be accused of classism and sent to jail to be shot!"
The eldest sister has a whole repertoire of insults.
“You’re the one who’ll get shot! Your whole family will get shot!” Guo Lili retorted, getting up to yell at them.
Upon hearing this, the eldest sister grabbed a rolling pin, stormed to the kitchen door, and, brandishing the rolling pin, yelled at Guo Lili, "I'll send you to eat bullets! Go eat bullets! You shameless thing, I'll shoot you dead!"
"You old Dong—"
Guo Lili was about to retort when she suddenly looked up and saw Qin Zheng carrying the child downstairs.
She didn't dare to cause any more trouble, fearing that Qin Zheng would use this as an excuse to get rid of her. She plopped back down on the sofa and pretended to be nonchalant as she ate sunflower seeds.
Hmph, go ahead and curse me.
No matter how much people criticize her, she has still enjoyed this blessing.
Even if a nanny makes a hole in the kitchen roof, she's still serving others, while Guo Lili is the one being served.
She doesn't have to do any work, so what's a few scoldings compared to that?
Ye Yun followed them downstairs.
Before she was fully awake, she heard her older sister cursing downstairs, accompanied by the loud banging of pots and pans, which kept her and Qin Zheng from getting a good night's sleep.
"Sister Yun, let me go help my older sister."
The older sister who came down with Ye Yun and Qin Zheng was mainly responsible for taking care of the children. Seeing that her companions were being tormented by Guo Lili, she took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help.
Ye Yun nodded in agreement and went.
Before entering the kitchen, the older woman with the child glanced helplessly at Guo Lili, who was sitting on the sofa eating sunflower seeds. She sighed, "How can such reasonable bosses have such disreputable relatives?"
Guo Lili just rolled her eyes.
Tch, no matter how much they dislike her, they still have to serve her.
At this moment, Qin Zheng had already carried the child into the living room. Disgusted by Guo Lili's domineering and unreasonable nature, he said in a deep voice, "They were hired by the family to help out, not servants."
Guo Lili, however, didn't care at all, saying, "Oh, brother, a nanny is just a servant."
Qin Zheng's face darkened.
Guo Lili remained ignorant and counted on her fingers, saying, "Look, you pay them wages, so you're their boss. They work for you, so they have to do whatever you tell them to do!"
Qin Zheng's face couldn't have been darker.
It is obvious that Guo Lili's thinking has reached an extremely foolish level.
There's a saying that's absolutely true.
When you are at the bottom of society, you hate the powerful and wealthy, and you hate them for using money to enslave and exploit the poor.
But when you become powerful and wealthy, you are high above and think that all of this is a matter of course.
"You're hopeless."
