The tone was cold and ruthless. Although he was smiling, the smile was nonchalant and carried a hint of sarcasm, which was chilling.
Zhou Xinlan knew that Ji Huaishen was warning her.
He warned her not to make a move on Mu Xiaocheng.
That means he just now...
Was he deliberately going along with her to spite Mu Xiaocheng?
As for the reason why he was angry with Mu Xiaocheng, Zhou Xinlan smiled bitterly to herself.
It's quite obvious.
Ha, she thought that Ji Huaishen really intended to cooperate with the Zhou family this time. She didn't expect that this man wouldn't even give her a chance.
Ji Huaishen was completely stunned when he saw Zhou Xinlan in front of him. Without looking at her again, he got up, turned around and left.
Zhou Xinlan suddenly called out to him.
She frowned, and asked the question that had been troubling her for a long time: "Can you tell me why?"
"You should be able to see at a glance that whether it's the cooperation I mentioned to you before or this time, it's obvious that it can bring huge profits to your SC Group. It's a sure-fire deal, so why are you unwilling to cooperate with the Zhou family?"
In Zhou Xinlan's view, Ji Huaishen was an extremely intelligent person who would not act impulsively like those young lads.
He should know very well that SC Group would benefit from cooperating with the Zhou family.
But why...?
Upon hearing her question, Ji Huaishen paused, but did not turn around.
He slowly curled his lips into a smile.
She said casually, "Because my child gets jealous."
Zhou Xinlan didn't see the tenderness in Ji Huaishen's eyes that she had never seen before when he said those words.

Mu Xiaocheng left Ji Huaishen's office in a huff and took the elevator downstairs.
She didn't want to stay here any longer.
She wanted to go outside and get some fresh air.
Let Ji Huaishen and that other person continue discussing their cooperation.
It has nothing to do with her; let them talk whatever they want.
Just thinking about the scene of Ji Huaishen and Zhou Xinlan talking earlier made Mu Xiaocheng feel like she was burning with anger.
She stepped out of the elevator, not caring where she was or what was happening, and walked straight onto the main road.
Although she wasn't hungry, she still wanted to eat something, especially something spicy or stimulating.
For example, very spicy food, or frozen food.
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and touched her pocket.
Depend on!
I forgot my phone in Ji Huaishen's office.
Mu Xiaocheng looked depressed.
I looked around.
She wasn't familiar with the area and had nothing on her; how was she going to get something to eat?
Let's go back and get our phones.
no.
Looking at the endless stream of vehicles, she pursed her lips.
She walked across the sidewalk by herself, not caring where she would end up, since she was in a bad mood and didn't care that she wouldn't get lost.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at the boundary of a small square.
It was almost noon, and it was a weekday, so there weren't many people in the square.
Several elderly people wearing thick cotton-padded coats were chatting there, and a few children were playing.
Mu Xiaocheng plopped down on the bench next to her.
He rested his chin on his hands, staring blankly at the people coming and going.
Did she just do something wrong?
She should have rejected Zhou Xinlan outright.
However, if she refused, she would have a hard time explaining it to her aunt.
Hmm~
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her eyes and looked at the ground.
Ugh, this is really tough.
She was lost in thought and didn't notice a familiar figure approaching her.
Mu Xiaocheng only saw Ji Huaishen when he got closer.
She instinctively turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
