pet?
Qingyun chewed on those two words between his lips, then suddenly smiled and rolled down the car window: "What advice does Second Young Master Zou have?"
Zou Qiyao found Qingyun's smile both irritating and tantalizing. He hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming, and said in a deep voice, "Look, although we're both second young masters, there's a significant difference. Everyone should have some self-awareness, right?"
He suddenly leaned closer to Qingyun and said, "I know my brother's personality better than anyone. Don't pretend to be nice and try to get close to him. I'm embarrassed for you."
"Oh?" Qingyun became interested. He even wanted Zou Minchen to come and hear what Zou Qiyao had to say.
“Right now, my brother doesn’t want to deal with you. But once he finds out, he might get upset and you could lose your life.” Zou Qiyao sighed twice as he spoke. “What do you want? Isn’t it just money? I’ll give you five million. Take the money and leave, and give up on this idea.”
Zou Qiyao's thinking was simple: Xiao Chengnuo had been kicked out of the Xiao family, so he was clinging to Zou Minchen's coattails. So what else could he be after besides money?
Qingyun stared blankly at Zou Qiyao, clearly not expecting such a scene to happen to her.
This is just like in an idol drama where the male lead's mother threatens the female lead with money to "leave my son."
Qingyun burst out laughing unexpectedly; perhaps people's sense of humor changes as they live longer. The scene of Zou Qiyao righteously throwing money at him to get rid of him inexplicably tickled Qingyun's funny bone, making him laugh for quite a while.
Qingyun only stopped laughing when Zou Qiyao's face turned extremely pale.
"Here's what we'll do: you throw this five million at your brother, and tell him to stay away from me and stop bothering me all the time. It's so annoying." With that, Qingyun tossed down the check, chuckled, and drove away.
Throwing money at him? It's not surprising, considering Zou Qiyao is unaware of Qingyun's identity. Everyone knows how lucrative new drugs are during their patent period, not to mention the phenomenal efficacy of Ruixin's successive drug launches. Financially, Ruixin Pharmaceuticals is now on par with the Zou family.
If Zou Qiyao still dared to threaten Qingyun with a check for five million after knowing all this, he must be out of his mind.
"Damn it, is he crazy?" Seeing Qingyun's arrogant attitude, Zou Qiyao slammed his fist on the steering wheel. He glanced at the falling check and said, "What's this bootlicker doing, acting all high and mighty?"
-
"What? Didn't we agree to choose the Xiao family? What's going on?" Xiao Chengzhe roared into the phone.
He thought the collaboration with the Zou Group to develop a vaccine was a done deal, but unexpectedly, something has changed.
"I heard that Ruixin Pharmaceutical also intends to cooperate, so the Zou family said they're making other plans. After all, compared to Ruixin, the Xiao family..."
Before the words on the other end of the phone were finished, Xiao Chengzhe easily discerned the unspoken meaning. Compared to? What comparison? Whether in technology or management, Xiao's Group simply wasn't qualified to compare with Ruixin.
Xiao Chengzhe angrily ran his hands through his hair. He never expected Ruixin to come back and snatch this spot. After all, with Ruixin Pharmaceutical's qualifications and reputation, there was absolutely no need for them to pay attention to this kind of cooperation opportunity.
He just made a promise to Xiao's father tonight, saying that he would definitely be able to help Xiao's family advance further. If the results come out and Xiao's family doesn't even get a chance, what will Xiao's father think of him?
A dark glint flashed in Xiao Chengzhe's eyes as he picked up his phone and called Zou Qiyao.
Ruixin? So what if they have the ability? Sometimes connections are a form of strength too.
Qingyun drove back to Zou Minchen's villa. The lights were still on, but none of the original servants were there.
Knowing that Qingyun was coming to stay here, Zou Minchen, knowing his personality, naturally wouldn't leave any other people in the villa.
As Qingyun entered the living room, she saw Zou Minchen open his suitcase and stare blankly at the box full of strange and wonderful things.
Qingyun stayed at her maternal grandmother's house with Xiao's mother last night. To be honest, if it weren't for the few clothes still in the suitcase, Zou Minchen would have almost thought that Qingyun had packed up all the gifts he had given her and sent them back.
Looking at the contents of the box, he felt a surge of tenderness welling up inside him.
"Who gave you permission to touch my things?" Qingyun's tone was not good; to be precise, he was in a bad mood right now!
I shouldn't have brought these things over; it makes it seem like he cherishes them.
Qingyun stepped forward and closed the box, then reached out to snatch the item from Zou Minchen's hand, but Zou Minchen grabbed her wrist instead.
"do what?"
Zou Minchen pulled her forcefully into his arms, his chin resting on Qingyun's neck as he chuckled softly. This pleasurable sensation traveled directly into Qingyun's heart through their intertwined bodies.
"Baby, how can you be so cute?"
"What are you laughing at!" Qingyun broke free from him in a fit of embarrassment and anger, a thin blush spreading across her ears.
Zou Minchen gently kissed his earlobe, nibbling lightly with his teeth as he whispered in his ear, "Look, you've already taken so many things, how about taking one more?"
"What?" Qingyun stepped back, turned her face away and only looked at him out of the corner of her eye, and inexplicably felt that she was at a disadvantage at this moment.
"Me." Zou Minchen took his hand and placed it on his heart, his eyes filled with intoxicating tenderness.
Qingyun immediately snorted softly, raised her chin high, and her clear eyes seemed to be immersed in a pool of clear spring water: "Too big, no!"
Upon hearing this, Zou Minchen laughed even louder, his shoulders shaking with laughter, yet he still cupped Qingyun's face and gently kissed him on the cheek.
"Honey, I am big. But how do you know you don't want it if you don't try?"
Qingyun's eyes widened, clearly stunned by this man's shamelessness. Sure enough, this guy's head was always full of lewd nonsense!
