Chapter 44 A Good Deal



It's a bank card.

I raised an eyebrow. What does this mean?

"There's a million in here."

I didn't look at the card. "Are you planning to bribe me with this money?"

Father Zhou's eyelids jumped. "What are you talking about? You are the young mistress of my Zhou family. I gave you this money so that you can live a more comfortable life. Ah Yan also said that he didn't find that person. If this matter is investigated, the final result will be bad for everyone. You don't want to make things so awkward, do you?"

He patiently and persuadingly.

I lowered my eyelashes, feeling a little aggrieved. "But I'm really scared. He fed me medicine today, but he might strangle me to death next time..."

"No, I will discipline him well."

I pursed my lips, but still refused to give in.

Father Zhou added, "I've heard everything about you at the company. You're very capable and have done a great job. I even met Mr. Zhang yesterday, and he praised you highly. Mu Yan, you didn't let me down."

I waited.

I knew he had more to say.

To silence me, a bank card is not enough, more benefits are needed.

"I've already given the order to make you a full-time employee. You don't need to be an intern anymore. You've already proven your abilities."

One million, and a permanent position, is barely enough to satisfy me.

To be honest, if it weren't for the purpose of finding out who the shareholder is who is jointly involved with Zhou Zhizi, this couple would be kept alive to check and balance Zhou Chenyan.

I really don't want to get involved in this family's mess.

"Okay... I'll listen to you then."

Father Zhou nodded in satisfaction, "Go ahead, and call Ah Yan up from downstairs."

Why did you call him up? It must be to teach him a lesson.

I suppressed my inner anxiety and walked out of the room. As soon as the study door was closed, I immediately quickened my pace. I couldn't wait to see Zhou Chenyan being taught a lesson.

He really listens to Father Zhou.

He was still kneeling downstairs.

When Zhou's mother saw me, she hurriedly asked, "Yan Yan, what did your father say to you?"

"Dad let him go upstairs."

I still called her by this name, and Zhou's mother naturally understood everything.

She has always loved her son, but today she didn't stop him.

"You really should have your dad give you a good talk. If you continue like this, I won't even recognize you anymore!"

Zhou Chenyan turned around and went upstairs without saying a word.

I said to Zhou's mother, "I'll go upstairs and take a look. If Dad wants to hit him, I can stop him."

Mother Zhou sighed, "You are kind-hearted."

I lowered my head and sneered inwardly.

What kindness? I just wanted to see with my own eyes the miserable scene of Zhou Chenyan being beaten.

So I didn't even step into the study.

Instead, he stood outside the door and heard the conversation inside through the crack in the door that was not closed tightly.

Not only was there a scolding, but there were also slapping sounds, as if something was hitting someone.

"Zhou Chenyan, are you crazy?"

"You've always had a righteous mindset, and I've never controlled you, giving you space to grow freely. But have I ever taught you what you should and shouldn't do?"

"There are some bottom lines that cannot be touched. Even if you dislike Mu Yan, you must remember that she is your wife. She represents your face. Once Mu Yan is trampled upon by others, do you know what others will say about you?"

Zhou Chenyan remained silent.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard these words. On the surface, Zhou's father was very satisfied with me, but in this incident, he did not stand up for me.

What he considered from the beginning to the end was Zhou Chenyan's reputation.

The Zhou family is so cold-blooded.

My phone was out of battery a long time ago, so the first thing I did when I got back to my room was to charge it. As soon as I turned it on, the phone vibrated.

Cancan: Sister Yanyan, are you okay?

Only then did I see that there were many missed calls and messages.

Without exception, they were all sent by Cancan.

Cancan: Sister Yanyan, I've been waiting for you at the hospital entrance. Where are you? Why didn't you answer the phone?

Cancan: I got you what you wanted.

Cancan: Sister Yanyan, are you okay?

At my most critical and helpless moment, the only person who cared about me was a colleague whom I had just met for less than a week.

I called her back and arranged a meeting place.

The first thing Cancan said when she saw me was concern. "I called you many times, but you didn't answer. Later, I couldn't get through. Sister Yanyan, are you okay?"

My face didn't look good, but I was still in good spirits. "It's okay, don't worry. Let me see what you brought."

Last night, I didn’t wait in vain at home, but contacted Cancan. We learned from dinner together before that Cancan’s family works for a courier company.

I asked her to help me investigate Zhou Zhizi's recent express delivery records.

I actually found a courier that was sent from abroad.

It has the name of the medicine written on it.

I originally wanted to take this to the hospital and have the doctor test the residue in Zhou Zhizi's blood to find out if the medicine she was injected with was the one written on the express delivery slip.

As a result, Zhou Chenyan didn't give me any chance at all.

"Thank you anyway." Although it is no longer needed now, Cancan did not show any impatience when he received my call in the middle of the night, and he took the matter seriously.

I was very touched.

Cancan waved her hands and said, "This is a small matter. I'm glad I can help you. But I don't quite understand. Who is Zhou Zhizi using this medicine for?"

The name of the medicine is clearly written on the list, and you can tell what the medicine does by just looking it up.

Cancan, a girl who has never even been in a relationship, blushed and her heart started beating fast just by seeing those drugs.

"Nothing, you helped me with this, I'll treat you to a meal."
