Not long ago, Shen Jiezhu was just the daughter of the Jiang family, but a few days later, she had become the first heir personally certified by Jiang Zhengzhong.
In order to compensate her for the suffering she had endured, Ahn Jae-cheol transferred all the companies he had previously acquired in Seoul to her name and gave up the Seoul market.
This time, we have truly withdrawn from the Han country market.
Jiang Taiheng has been detained, and Shen Jiezhu's value has skyrocketed, becoming the number one figure among the young generation of chaebols in Seoul.
Everyone thought that since this case involved Kang Taehyung, it would take some time to reach a conclusion, but unexpectedly, the result came out so quickly.
From this, it can be seen that the Jiang family has given up on Jiang Taiheng and shifted all resources to Shen Jiezhu.
This change happened so fast that many people felt that this was an exposure of Shen Jiezhu's behind-the-scenes manipulation, and that she had planned it all from beginning to end.
Shen Jiezhu had heard a lot of such rumors, but she never paid any attention to them.
Because they were right, this matter was indeed planned by her. He had been preparing for this matter since she accidentally obtained the memory and evidence. The only person in the world who knew about it was Quan Zhilong.
If it were anyone else, she might worry that this matter would be exposed.
But this person is Kwon Ji-yong.
The person she trusts the most is Quan Zhilong.
On December 24, Christmas Eve, Shen Jiezhu was invited to attend the Christmas party hosted by Quan Xizhen.
The banquet started at nine o'clock in the evening. Before that, she went to the Metaphysics Association to attend the annual Metaphysics Conference.
It was seven o'clock in the afternoon and it was already dark.
The weather was fine when we boarded the bus at the Wizarding Museum, but by the time we arrived at the conference venue, it had already started snowing.
This is the first snow of the year, and the timing is perfect, as if it was planned on purpose.
Shen Jiezhu, dressed in white, appeared at the gate of the Metaphysics Association.
She recently fell in love with loose clothes similar to Taoist robes, but with some improvements and modern styles. The collar and cuffs are decorated with very delicate patterns, like traces of falling snowflakes.
It was so cold that when she got off the bus, she put on a black coat, wrapping herself up completely, making her look extremely thin.
Her slender fingers were revealed from her clothes. This time she changed her manicure. The bean paste color was not as bright as the previous plum color, but it made her skin look whiter. Under the media lights, it exuded a soft glow, which inexplicably fit the festive atmosphere.
"Hello everyone, sorry for the wait~"
As soon as she got off the car, she greeted the media just like she used to, without any airs at all.
An Shang, Ji Changxian and others were already waiting at the door. The four departments of metaphysics were merged and managed by the Metaphysics Association. They also changed into the same clothes and stood at the door, standing tall like a tree that would never fall, waiting for her arrival.
"Senior sister!"
Qi Jing had the highest status among them, and he was the first to speak.
"Hello, Master."
Several people greeted in unison. Shen Jiezhu nodded and walked forward: "Let's go. Dear media friends, our meeting will last a long time. It's so cold, you should not wait any longer, go back and celebrate the holiday~"
After saying these words, Shen Jiezhu turned around and walked into the dazzling light.
Several other people followed closely behind, and only when the door was completely closed and the last bit of light could no longer come through did the reporters leave in groups of two or three.
When the reporter posted the pictures taken at the scene, a photo that included Shen Jiezhu, An Shang and others in the frame caused heated discussion among netizens.
In the photo, Shen Jiezhu was walking towards the gate, and the other people were following her in groups of two, forming two rows, as if they were specially queuing.
The beauty of this photo lies in its composition.
He captured everyone's face in the photo. The other photos were still, but this one gave people a dynamic feeling, as if they were about to walk out of the photo and come in front of him.
Shen Jiezhu stood in the front, at the center of the photo, with all the details on her face magnified.
The light reflected by the white clothes happened to fall on her face. Her originally soft facial features seemed much colder because of the contrast of light and shadow. Her eyes were lowered and her red lips were slightly parted. The extreme contrast between white and red made her look inexplicably powerful and domineering.
As a matter of fact, she does hold great power.
It’s just this photo that perfectly captures this feeling.
[Can you believe it? I saw power and ambition on Zhuzhu's face! ]
[Ah! Where did my cute pig go? No, I still like her silly look before. ]
[This photo is so amazing, I am so mad at you! This is the feeling I am after! So many handsome guys are following me obediently, calling me Master respectfully, this feeling is amazing! ]
[Pig is cute now, okay? This photo just happened to capture her majestic side.]
[You may have forgotten that she was the one who merged the four metaphysical schools that had been divided for so many years. Now all metaphysical institutions in Han Country are under her management. How can one person control such great power without authority? ]
[There is also a company. Our pig is now a wealthy man, not a small internet celebrity. 】
[Zhuzhu is so cool! I have always treated Zhuzhu as my younger sister, but now I just want to call her sister, so cool! She has really become the person I aspire to be! ]
[If I could have half the power she has now, I would just walk sideways without even looking at the road! ]
[Let's count the power that Zhuzhu has now. Forget it. I can't count it. The Jiang family's business involves too many industries, and some of them are confidential. It's impossible to tell them apart.]
[I can’t believe that the little internet celebrity I follow has become the heir to the richest tycoon.]
[You haven't seen Zhu Zhu and Long Ge together, right? They are so cute. Zhu Zhu is very good to her fans, but her feelings towards Long Ge are really different, super different! She is especially gentle and happy. Woohoo, she is a sweet girl! ]
[I don’t think Joo Joo has changed. Although her status has improved, her behavior is exactly the same as before. I ran into her in Myeongdong two days ago. She saw my phone case, recognized me as a fan, and even treated me to coffee! ]
[Yes, yes, it’s still Zhuzhu who loves to treat everyone kkk! ]
After the meeting, Shen Jiezhu arrived at Quan Xizhen's banquet on time. She was still in her luxurious style. All the furnishings and decorations in front of her were top-quality brands. Even the money spent was something that could only be seen at auctions.
Although it was called a banquet, there were actually only two families attending.
My uncle and my father finally sat at the same table again. Although I don’t know what they talked about in private, it’s good enough as long as they don’t quarrel when they meet.
As soon as we entered the room, everyone was already seated and now we were just waiting for her.
"Dad, uncle, brother, and O'Neal, you don't have to wait for me, or the food will get cold."
"Zhuzhu, you're late. Hey, where's Zhilong? Why didn't he come with you? I reserved two seats for you two."
Shen Jiezhu took her seat and answered, "Oppa has a variety show recording, and it hasn't finished yet."
Jeon Hee Jin asked someone to remove the chairs while sighing, "You two are too busy. I finally found some free time for you, but Ji Yong couldn't come over. As soon as he had a day off, you went on a date. You couldn't find him. Why is it so difficult for everyone to have a meal together?"
kkk
It seems that she is not satisfied because she often goes out on dates with Oppa but cannot find him.
Shen Jiezhu took a sip of red wine, then smiled and explained: "Hey, Oppa, next time when Oppa is free, we won't go anywhere, we'll just wait for you to call us for dinner, how about that? Then you just need to give us a call and we'll be there right away!"
"I always say this. I don't believe you anymore. I won't care about you anymore. Humph!"
Quan Xizhen no longer buys into this, but she still can't stand Shen Jiezhu's coquettish behavior.
Shen Jiezhu was about to use the same trick again when she heard An Sheng ask her: "Zhuzhu, when will Zhilong end? Can we catch up?"
Shen Jiezhu thought about his schedule and said, "I can come, but I definitely won't be able to make it for this meal. It's okay, I'll eat less and then I can go eat something else with Oppa later!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, listen to what you said. In order to accompany our boyfriends, we have to eat less." An Sheng curled his lips and complained to Jiang Zhengzhong openly.
"Uncle, you have to take care of Zhuzhu, otherwise she won't come back for dinner next time."
"Hahaha, bro, I'm still here, why are you complaining like this? Can't you wait until I'm gone before you start?"
Lee Yoo Na and Lee Kyung Tae also came. Both of them were young people. They just sat there and watched the show without saying a word.
Shen Jiezhu poked Li Youna's shoulder and said, "You have to stand with me. My brother has a sharp tongue. Only the two of us can win together."
Lee Yoona glanced at An Sheng and hesitated: "I won't get involved in your brother-sister affairs."
"You don't even help me at this time. What good did my brother give you, Yuna? Something's wrong. I was out playing with my dad. What happened to you during this time..."
Jiang Xiuhui watched them bickering and couldn't stop laughing.
At the dining table, the elders chat with each other, and the younger generations chat with each other. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, and it feels like a family.
After hearing what Shen Jiezhu said, Quan Xizhen winked at her, raised her hand, pointed at An Sheng and Li Yuna, and finally made a heart shape with her hands.
???
Shen Jiezhu was confused.
When did it happen?
I didn’t even know it!
How come this hasn't been made public? Is it being done secretly? Oh, I see. They're just trying to be together secretly first, right? Hehehe.
Shen Jiezhu sorted out the relationship between the two of them, no longer asked Yuna to speak to her, and turned around to torture Li Jingtai.
In one night, Li Jingtai's tangled hair was almost fallen out.
"Sister, I really can't say anything better than Brother Sheng. He is so powerful. When I was a kid, I couldn't say anything better than him and he even beat me up."
"Sister, I really can't do it. How about I call my brother-in-law and ask him to come over and help you?"
"Hey, Brother Sheng, please stop torturing me. How dare I say anything to Sister Zhuzhu? She taught me before. You know, I have a natural fear of teachers. I can't do that. I'm afraid!"
This begging for mercy continued until after dinner, at 10:30 in the evening, when they sat in the greenhouse in the front yard, playing games and drinking together.
Shen Jiezhu finally forgot about Li Jingtai and focused on the game, just to get An Sheng to drink more.
An Sheng had practiced in bars for many years, and he could win all kinds of table games with his eyes closed. After a few rounds, Shen Jiezhu did not get An Sheng drunk, but she got herself drunk and dizzy.
"Zhuzhu, do you still want to drink? If you say so, we'll continue. Everyone is watching us. Don't complain later and say that I told you to drink~"
After hearing An Sheng's question, Shen Jiezhu looked at the time on her mobile phone. It was already half past eleven.
"No more drinking. I can't drink more than you. You are an alcoholic, and I am not."
"You call me an alcoholic just because I can't drink? Zhuzhu, your drinking behavior is not very good. I'll have to talk to Zhilong about this when I see him later, tsk tsk!"
As soon as An Sheng finished speaking, Quan Zhilong's voice came from the door.
"Zhuzhu."
"Oppa?!"
Shen Jiezhu found someone to support her instantly, stood up and stumbled towards Quan Zhilong. She was really drunk, and when she walked, it felt like she was going to fall down in the next second.
An Sheng was extremely worried, and only felt relieved when Quan Zhilong caught her steadily.
"Zhilong, you came at the right time. Zhuzhu is not a good drinker. As her boyfriend, shouldn't you have a good talk with her~"
Shen Jiezhu's face was a little red. Quan Zhilong touched her forehead with his hand and put his hand down only to make sure that she didn't have a fever.
"Well, I'll drink with you later to see who has the worst drinking habit."
After saying this, Quan Zhilong picked up Shen Jiezhu and walked towards the car at the door: "Zhuzhu drank too much, I will take her home first. Brother, Jingtai, Yuna, I will be free tomorrow, I will call you then, and we will get together again."
After watching Quan Zhilong's car drive away, An Sheng suddenly reacted.
"Zhilong, you've learned bad things from Zhuzhu. I'm your brother, how can you treat him like this?"
Shen Jiezhu was actually very quiet after drinking. As long as she had a small place, she could fall asleep peacefully without any noise or disturbance. Of course, the premise was that she fell asleep.
If she accidentally woke up in the middle of a sleep, it would be a different story.
In the wizard villa, Kwon Ji-yong removed her makeup, brushed her teeth, took her into the bathroom to take a shower, put on her pajamas, and just blow-dried her hair six-tenths dry when Shen Jiezhu ran away barefoot.
In order to catch the running Shen Jiezhu, he had already run up and down the stairs three times and was exhausted and out of breath.
"Be good, Zhuzhu. Put on your shoes before running. It's so cold, the floor is very cold."
After running all night, Shen Jiezhu heard what he said and actually sat on the sofa and stretched out her hand to him: "Give me my shoes."
Quan Zhilong immediately walked over with his shoes in hand, half-knelt in front of her, and put on her soft slippers.
When his fingers touched her ankle, he suddenly remembered that when he first met her, he put shoes on her in the same way out of courtesy.
But at that time, he was very careful not to touch her skin, but now...
He was able to hug and kiss her at will.
If I had known that the relationship between me and her would be like this now, I would have treated her more seriously. Then, she would not have been scolded so much in the early stage of "I Love You".
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world, and he does not have the ability to predict the future.
Therefore, what I owed her back then, I can only make up for it in the future...
After putting on her shoes, Shen Jiezhu moved her feet and opened her arms to him: "I want to sleep! I'm tired!"
"Haha, okay, I'll carry you to sleep."
Quan Zhilong hugged her tightly in his arms and walked carefully upstairs to the bedroom.
There was only a small orange light on in the bedroom, which she moved from her original house. She seemed to like this light very much and would turn it on every night when she live-streamed in the bedroom.
He would come in every time with a trumpet, watching her happily chatting with fans in the warm and dim light. She always tied her hair up, letting it hang loosely behind her head, with a few strands of hair occasionally falling down mischievously, leaving faint traces on her side face.
When she smiles, she looks a little silly, which is very different from her cold look when she isn't smiling. She's very cute.
The water in the cup next to her computer was always warm, and when she felt thirsty while chatting, she would take a sip.
Whenever she opened the lid of the cup, white hot steam would spread out in front of her, wrapping her pretty face in the mist.
From blurry to clear, it was like a dream.
There are many, many more...
At this moment, Quan Zhilong suddenly realized that he actually remembered all the details in this room when she was broadcasting live. His brain remembered much more than he thought.
Emotions are really out of control.
Quan Zhilong smiled helplessly and gently stuffed Shen Jiezhu into the quilt. The moment she lay down, Shen Jiezhu frowned and muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"There's a clip on my head, I haven't taken it out yet... Oppa... Pad, it hurts."
Quan Zhilong quickly went to pass the card and didn't forget to comfort her: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, it won't hurt soon."
After working for a long time, I finally took the clip off.
Just as Quan Zhilong turned around and was about to put the clip on the table, Shen Jiezhu suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him down.
When lips and tongue touch, the soft touch gradually becomes clearer.
He could smell her scent, which was clearly the fresh smell of shower gel, but it was destroying his rationality, pulling him into love and sinking with her.
“Zhuzhu…”
He called her name incoherently, not sure if it was to awaken her sanity or his own.
"Zhuzhu?"
"Zhuzhu."
"Zhuzhu... I love you. Tell me, what should I do with you now that you are like this?"
Quan Zhilong kept calling her like this until Shen Jiezhu felt it was too noisy. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she hugged him and turned in the other direction.
Quan Zhilong was caught off guard and was pushed down on the bedding, while Shen Jiezhu lay on top of him, leaned over and kissed his lips.
…
The string of rationality in my mind broke instantly, and the hand on the edge of the bed suddenly lost its strength. The hairpin in my palm fell to the ground through the gap between my fingers.
When the bells rang.
The two switched positions again.
Quan Zhilong looked down at her, into her half-closed, blurry eyes, and with a deft move of his fingertips, he unbuttoned the bottom button of her pajamas, revealing her tight and slender waist.
…
The sexy breathing sound blooms in the silence, like the finale of a concert, and every melody carries a thousand twists and turns of deep affection.
When the light and shadow of the two people overlapped, Quan Zhilong's low voice spread in the warm light, softly hitting the beating heart.
"Zhuzhu, you are good at metaphysics. As early as the first time we met, you knew that I would fall into your hands..."
Shen Jiezhu was completely immersed in the softness, with her hair scattered on her fair shoulders. Hearing his question, she blinked, her eyelashes tangled and parted, as if she was thinking.
Suddenly, she raised her lips, her lips and tongue were moist, and her neck slid in a graceful curve in the light.
Then he raised his hand, and placed his smooth arm on the shoulder of the person in front of him.
The hoarse voice, mixed with an intoxicating coquettishness, brewed two words.
"you guess."
