Regarding her daughter's marriage, she now has only one principle: better to have none than to settle for less. There's no reason for their precious daughter to suffer all sorts of grievances after marriage.
It's a complete misunderstanding!
Jiang Zhengyu's eye twitched uncontrollably. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Yanshu in his heart. He had never thought of having any lingering entanglement with Xie Huanyu. He was forced to take the blame.
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black. Xu Yanshu is obviously a wicked person. In my opinion, you should get on good terms with him as soon as possible to avoid being implicated by him in the future."
Under the intense gaze of the other party, Jiang Zhengyu had no choice but to nod in agreement, secretly sighing that prejudice in people's hearts was truly a mountain.
At that moment, Ouyang Ming hurried downstairs and went straight to Qin Yao's side, truthfully reporting back,
"I've already called. They explained that Mu Yichen did go to deal with an emergency, and they promised to call him back as soon as possible!"
They're still stubbornly refusing to admit it even now!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but scoff inwardly. A playboy like Mu Yichen, who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, probably only knew how to play with women.
In situations like this, even if the other party knows their son has ulterior motives, they would never admit it.
Qin Yao understood the same logic perfectly well, and her serious expression showed no sign of easing. "Since he's already said that,"
"Then you should arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Mu family's movements and see when Mu Yichen will return!"
Better safe than sorry, especially when it comes to her daughter's safety; she'd rather be extra cautious.
Ouyang Ming nodded as if he understood, then tentatively asked, "Since things have come to this, why not let Shengyi come back?"
"no!"
Qin Yao immediately denied it, her gaze shifting back and forth between Ouyang Sheng and Jiang Zhengyu, and asked suspiciously, "Did you two plan this together? Why are you all urging Shengyi to come back?"
What?
Ouyang Sheng was completely bewildered. He subconsciously turned to look at Jiang Zhengyu, who shrugged helplessly.
"Wife, I'm innocent! I only mentioned it casually because I was concerned about our daughter. I absolutely did not conspire with this brat!"
Qin Yao waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, enough said. I have my own plans regarding when Shengyi will return."
"Don't even think about giving me advice; I will absolutely not waver!"
After saying that, Qin Yao picked up her handbag, turned around, and walked out of the manor.
Ouyang Ming was somewhat embarrassed and felt like he couldn't clear his name no matter what.
"You brat, what nonsense were you spouting in front of your aunt just now? You're not still trying to speak up for Xu Yanshu, are you?!"
Jiang Zhengyu innocently raised his hands, "Why are you accusing me like this? I only said that because I was worried about Shengyi's safety abroad alone."
If it were just Mu Yichen alone, it wouldn't be so bad, but the key is that he has Zhou Zehao behind him. Who knows what kind of bad ideas these two might come up with when they get together.
Sheng Yi is powerless and alone abroad; if something were to happen, he might not be able to handle it.
“Actually, I was worried too…” Ouyang Ming sighed involuntarily and muttered to himself. Then, realizing something was amiss, he quickly changed the subject, “Alright, anyway, you’re not allowed to mention this to your aunt again, so as not to upset her.”
Meanwhile, Zhou Zehao made a phone call to invite Xie Huanyu to his usual bar.
"You don't know yet, do you? Your ex-husband is now a very popular figure in Rongcheng. There are countless people actively seeking cooperation with him."
"If you had stubbornly refused to agree to a divorce back then, you would be the one and only young mistress of the Zhou family now, and I would even have to pretend to call you sister-in-law!"
Zhou Zehao spoke slowly and deliberately, casually swirling the red wine in his hand, his narrow eyes concealing an ambiguous emotion.
They saw through it but didn't say anything. Everyone in this business is shrewd. If the old man hadn't been secretly spreading rumors, they wouldn't have all rushed to cooperate with Xu Yanshu.
I was forced to agree to the divorce at the time...
Recalling the past, Xie Huanyu's eyes dimmed slightly.
As for the claim that he was "in high demand," she couldn't help but have some doubts. After all, when she was at the scene that day, she heard many people questioning Yan Shu's identity. It was impossible for him to suddenly become the object of everyone's flattery.
"This little bit of fighting shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Xie Huanyu said slowly, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "After all, you've been with the Zhou Group for so many years, you should have some foundation by now!"
Zhou Zehao raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, turned his head, and stared at Xie Huanyu with a hint of admiration in his dark eyes.
"Xie Huanyu, I have to admit you are truly the most intelligent woman I have ever met."
"If you weren't so focused on Xu Yanshu, we might be able to work together to build a business!"
"Come on," Xie Huanyu said with a displeased purse, thinking that if she really partnered with this person, she might be tricked into going bankrupt one day.
Zhou Zehao glanced at his watch, then leaned over and poured some more wine into Xie Huanyu's glass. "Come on, let's have another one!"
