"You're lying. I kindly brought you to find Zhang Xiu, and you even kicked me. Zhang Xiu, don't listen to her. She's the one who wanted to steal the supplies. When I refused to give them to her, she tried to seduce me."
Zhou An was a habitual liar; any lie he told sounded like the truth.
"Look at yourself! What would I want from seducing you? Shut up, or I'll kill you!"
Fang Xiyue was considering whether to kill Zhou An now, take him out and kill him later, or take him back to do hard labor.
“Murder is illegal… Ah!” Zhou An had just uttered a sentence when Fang Xiyue snatched the fruit knife and stabbed it into his thigh.
"Young lady, you can take anything you want, but please don't kill anyone, I beg you."
Sister Xiu was also startled. She shielded her terrified son behind her and pleaded with him.
"Alright, you can leave now. I'll take this shop."
Fang Xiyue gestured for her to leave, implying that a strong approach was needed to make Sister Xiu give up on these people.
Of course, it would be even better if they could repent and reform, but that's too idealistic.
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
Zhang Xiu picked up the child and helped Zhou An out of the cubicle. Liu Na almost screamed when she saw Zhou An's bleeding leg, but was frightened by a look from Ye Ziyuan.
"Help me, let's go!"
Zhou An yelled at Liu Na, who quickly went over to take him away. The group then left the shop and headed towards Sister Xiu's house behind it.
With a wave of her hand, Fang Xiyue took away all the supplies in the store.
She pulled Ye Ziyuan out the door and lowered the roller shutter. Since she had broken the original lock, she simply replaced the door.
Because Ye Ziyuan was blocking her way, and Fang Xiyue was moving incredibly fast, no one noticed her.
After locking the door, Fang Xiyue called Jun Nanxuan and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Sister Xiu's family and help Sister Xiu out if necessary.
"Yueyue, where are we going?" Ye Ziming's voice rang out.
Fang Xiyue turned her head to look, and lo and behold, Ye Ziming appeared.
"I'm going to Shuicheng to find Yunxiao. Zimo, are you going to the research institute? I'll take you there."
Ye Ziyuan was not interested in research, so whenever he was around, he resolutely refused to go to the research institute and stayed with Fang Xiyue instead.
Therefore, after Ye Zimo appears, a lot of work piles up, and she has to work overtime.
"Yeah, Yueyue, I'm so pitiful. When Ziyuan comes out, he plays with you, but when I come out, I can only go back to work overtime."
Ye Zimo held Fang Xiyue's hand with a pitiful expression.
Fang Xiyue reached out and cupped Ye Zimo's cheeks in her hands, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him. "How about I come to the research institute to keep you company when I get back from Shuicheng?"
"Okay." Ye Ziming was happy now, as he could finally spend time alone with Yueyue.
After sending Ye Zimo to the research institute, Fang Xiyue teleported to Water City.
Fang Xiyue went to Shuicheng as planned with Gong Yunxiao to collect all the jade from the jade mine into her spatial storage.
Although the jade mine has already been given to Fang Xiyue by Gong Yunxiao, it is now Fang Xiyue's property, and no one can take it away from her.
However, there's no need to go through all that trouble, so taking it away is the best option.
Of course, she would also keep some at home so that others wouldn't be without jade to absorb when she wasn't there.
She'll be going to collect the jade mine that Commander Wu gave her later.
Fang Xiyue took the elevator to the floor where Gong Yunxiao was, under the watchful eyes of the receptionist.
She thought Gong Yunxiao was alone, but she didn't expect that Gong Yunting was also there, and of course, there was another woman besides him.
The woman was fairly attractive, around 25 years old, and wearing a tight-fitting bodycon skirt.
Fang Xiyue had never met this woman in her previous life, so she didn't know her identity.
She didn't rush in, but stood by the wall and waited.
"Miss Qiao, I've already said, I will not agree to a marriage alliance with you." Gong Yunxiao's voice was icy cold.
"Why? Am I not good-looking enough? Am I not good-looking enough?"
You and my dad are both outstanding entrepreneurs in Shuicheng. If our two families join forces, Shuicheng will be our territory.
From now on, everyone in Water City will have to act according to our wishes. What's wrong with that?
"Gong Yunxiao, the apocalypse is a great opportunity for us, why don't we cooperate?"
Qiao Xi clearly didn't understand why Gong Yunxiao rejected her. She had never failed to win over the men she wanted before, and this was the first time she had been rebuffed.
"Whether you're good-looking or not is none of my business. I'm already married, so please don't bother me anymore. I have no interest in cooperating with you. Qi Yang, show him out!"
Gong Yunxiao instructed Qi Yang to quickly send the person out.
"Gong Yunxiao, I came to you first because you're good-looking, don't regret it."
Everyone knows you, President Gong, are not interested in women, so how could you possibly be married? It would be more convincing if you said you like men.
If I partner with someone else, your position in Water City will be in jeopardy. Think it through.
Qiao Xi spoke with a threat, confident that Gong Yunxiao would understand what she meant.
When Gong Yunxiao looked up, Qiao Qian assumed he had agreed, but then...
"My wife is a hundred times better than you. I don't care about your family's assets and strength. Qi Yang, hurry up!"
After finishing his sentence, Gong Yunxiao buried himself in processing documents again, ignoring whatever Qiao Qian said next.
“Miss Qiao, didn’t you see me? I look exactly like my brother. Otherwise, I’d marry you.”
Gong Yunting grabbed Qiao Qian's wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Let me go! How can you compare to Gong Yunxiao, you spoiled brat? Get out of my way!"
Qiao Qian shook off Gong Yunting's hand, angrily swung her bag and walked out, only to bump into Fang Xiyue as soon as she stepped outside.
Fang Xiyue saw Qiao Qian's face clearly and had to admit that she was really pretty.
Qiao Qian was stunned when she saw Fang Xiyue. She had never seen a woman more beautiful than herself before, and today she had finally met one.
"You're here to arrange a marriage with President Gong too? I advise you not to waste your time. President Gong is destined to be single and has no mercy for women!"
Come on, let me introduce you to some high-quality men. I've already done my research on them.
There are plenty of handsome, young, and rich men in our city; my sister and I are determined to snag two of them today.
Qiao Qian was furious and, arm in arm with Fang Xiyue, was about to take her on a date with a man.
Fang Xiyue thought the hair-pulling incident wouldn't happen, but instead Qiao Qian pulled her aside and wanted to introduce her to a good man. Has the plot gone off track?
Before she could even refuse, Gong Yunxiao pulled her away and separated her from Qiao Qian.
“My wife is good enough with me. She doesn’t need you to introduce her to other men. You can keep her yourself. Otherwise, I don’t mind talking to your father.”
Gong Yunxiao held Fang Xiyue tightly and wouldn't let go, while threatening Qiao Qian.
"Huh? She, she's your wife? Tsk tsk tsk, little sister, how could you like such a heartless man?"
You must have been scammed. You don't look very old. Were you fooled by this old man's sweet talk?
"Don't worry, I'll help you get out of this mess. Anyway, it's almost the end of the world, so marriage certificates don't really matter. I've got your back." Qiao Qian said, reaching out to grab Fang Xiyue.
