Chapter 54 Brother Jingrui



Zhou Jingrui directly suspected Bai Mengqiu himself.

This guess is the same as Wen Jingyi's suspicion.

The two looked at each other. Wen Jingyi saw a hint of disgust in Zhou Jingrui's eyes, and suddenly chuckled, and the stagnant atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Zhou Jingrui's reaction really didn't seem like he knew Bai Mengqiu.

He felt like he was being ruined, and he didn't want to even look at the intimate photo of him and Bai Mengqiu.

"What are you laughing at? If it were you, you'd be disgusting too."

Zhou Jingrui was speechless for a moment, then asked the two if they still wanted the photos. After getting permission, he stuffed the photos directly into the trash can.

"What's the background of your adopted sister? If she did it, why would she go to such great lengths to spread rumors in front of you?"

"……I don't know either."

Wen Jingyi shook her head.

From the first moment she saw Bai Mengqiu, she sensed his hostility towards her.

I used to think that Bai Mengqiu might have a sense of crisis because of his status.

But now, Wen Jingyi couldn't help but think about it carefully. Did Bai Mengqiu and Madam Wen know something else?

She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "But we still only have suspicions. If we want to find any clues, we can only continue to observe whether Bai Mengqiu has any other actions."

"I see."

Zhou Jingrui looked out the window with a heavy tone.

"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou took care of me when I was a child. I am also very sad about their deaths."

"It's all over."

Wen Jingyi smiled and patted Zhou Jingrui on the shoulder before leaving: "Have a good rest."

She returned home under Mo Yunfan's gaze and waved to him through the window, and only then did he leave with peace of mind.

Originally, Mo Yunfan planned to secretly test Bai Mengqiu's attitude as well.

However, before he could take action, more bad news came from his branch companies. There were still people competing maliciously, using the investment from Southeast Asia and Nebula to seize the market.

And it's no longer the small fights of the past.

Southeast Asia broke with its usual behavior and launched a fierce attack, as if it had passed the initial trial stage and started a large-scale offensive.

Not only Mo Yunfan was forced to look away.

Even Wen Jingyi had to leave Bai Mengqiu alone temporarily and focus on the battle with Southeast Asia.

Several projects were pulled back and forth.

Soon, Wen Jingyi discovered that foreign capital in Southeast Asia was actually starting to withdraw.

But instead of retreating, he started to take part in the market himself. Within a few days, people from the mysterious investor in Southeast Asia began to appear in the domestic market.

They actually decided to show up!

Wen Jingyi's heart sank.

This is not good news.

The calmer the other party appears, the more it shows that they are not arrogant, but are truly well prepared.

As for Bai Mengqiu, only Zhou Jingrui had time to deal with it.

He found a way to contact the Wen family and visited them as Wen Jingyi's childhood friend, who was not his biological brother but was like a brother to him.

With this excuse, it is not excessive to visit Wen Jingyi's biological mother and sister.

When he came with gifts, he recalled what Wen Jingyi had experienced here.

A hint of darkness flashed in his gentle and open eyes.

Then, she put on a gentle, bewitching smile and handed the bouquet and gift to Bai Mengqiu: "I apologize for disturbing you both by coming here without any prior notice."

"do not bother."

Bai Mengqiu was dazzled by the gentle and profound smile in front of her, and her face turned slightly red.

She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "You are my elder brother? Then I should call you brother, Brother Jingrui... Do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind. Jingyi's sister is my sister."

"That's great, brother Jingrui, come in and sit down. You should come here more often in the future. Maybe if you keep going like this, sister will come home more often too."

Bai Mengqiu has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Zhou Jingrui.

Be very friendly and enthusiastic.

She took Zhou Jingrui's arm and returned home with a smile, sitting with Zhou Jingrui as if no one was around.

It seemed that he didn’t notice Shen Zekai’s face suddenly darkened.

Even Mrs. Wen, seeing Zhou Jingrui's gentleness and consideration, inadvertently teased:

"Mengqiu has wanted a loving brother since she was little. What a pity! If Jingrui had appeared earlier, maybe they could have been engaged as children."

Shen Zekai's face darkened again.

He looked at the two of them deeply, stood up and left with an unhappy look, and took a few gulps of cold water in the tea room.

But he couldn't calm down.

Wen Jingyi refused to go home, and now even Bai Mengqiu is turning to someone else...

This is absolutely impossible!

He looked at Bai Mengqiu coldly as she affectionately held Zhou Jingrui's arm, and sneered, Bai Mengqiu could only be his.

Soon, the photo of Zhou Jingrui and Bai Mengqiu holding each other affectionately was forwarded to Wen Jingyi by Shen Zekai himself.

After receiving the message, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes showed interest.

"Miss Wen?"

In the bright and spacious coffee shop, the woman sitting opposite Wen Jingyi had a charming voice and was dressed in an intellectual and dashing manner.

Seeing Wen Jingyi looking at her phone, she chuckled and said, "It seems that I have been a bit of a bother by taking the liberty of asking Miss Wen to meet me today."

"It's not really a bother."

Wen Jingyi was unmoved. Although she put down her phone, she did not show any courtesy to the woman.

"Since you've requested a meeting with me on behalf of the East Coast Group, I'll definitely make time to meet with you even if I'm incredibly busy."

The East Coast Group is the mysterious Southeast Asian investor that is financially encircling Nebula.

Now it finally appears.

He immediately sent a senior white-collar worker and asked to see Wen Jingyi.

The woman called herself Sarah. She looked to be of Chinese descent, but her accent and makeup had a Southeast Asian flavor.

He speaks Mandarin fluently and is very familiar with the local customs and practices in China.

Wen Jingyi judged that Sarah should be a pure Chinese, but she has lived in Southeast Asia for many years.

Her excellent maintenance made it difficult to tell her real age, but Wen Jingyi looked at the fine lines on her hands and guessed that Sarah was older than her.

The woman's laughter was full of sexy magnetism. "Miss Wen, you're joking. You're the latest celebrity in Xingyun."

"Whether it's popular or not, it's just a job," Wen Jingyi said calmly, "If you hadn't been so persistent recently, I wouldn't have been asked to take on this task. I just wonder if you're satisfied with the current scale?"

Sarah smiled and said gently, "It's just a normal business cooperation. We have no intention of competing with Xingyun."

It's another piece of empty talk from the assembly line wholesale world.

Wen Jingyi suddenly felt tired.

She had been sitting here with Sarah for hours, but could get nothing out of her.

So I simply apologized and said, "Let's stop here today. We can talk again next time if we have the chance."

"etc."

The woman suddenly called out to Wen Jingyi, her eyes complicated. "I heard that Miss Wen is an orphan. I wonder if she's doing well now."

"I……"

Wen Jingyi was silent for a moment.

She couldn't even see through the woman's complicated look.

For some reason, the woman's attitude towards Wen Jingyi has always been gentle, so gentle that sometimes Wen Jingyi would subconsciously ignore that the two of them were sitting here as rivals.
