He handed the box to me and said calmly, "Take a look."
——Huang X Yi Huo Luo Oil.
When I saw the big words on the box, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. I hurriedly stood up and said, "Just give me the medicine. I'll take a shower and apply it myself later."
If it weren't for him, I would have almost forgotten that I had just fallen.
"Hmm."
His eyebrows were smiling, and the corners of his mouth were curled up in a sly manner. "I've asked the waiter to bring Jiang Lai up. If you can't wipe it yourself, ask her to help."
From the beginning, he considered the location where I fell to be more private.
I'm imagining too much.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She pushed him out of the room and tried to slam the door shut.
He supported himself with one hand, and suddenly pinched my face like last night, his voice seductive, "Ruan Nanzhi, Happy New Year."
As he spoke, the sound of fireworks rang out one after another outside.
The brilliant and dazzling fireworks shone through the entire floor-to-ceiling window, making him look even more unrestrained.
"Also, no more deserters," he added.
…
Fu Qichuan made many promises, but they were all empty. However, he acted quickly to fulfill the harsh words he had said to Zhou Fang.
Before the end of the year, the Fu family group arrogantly snatched away several projects from the Zhou family.
The Zhou family was not to be outdone and took the lead in releasing an electronic product. The technology in it was the trump card that the Fu family would launch in the first quarter of this year.
We had done a lot of publicity before, but now, not only did we end up doing things that would benefit others, but we also lost all our money and suffered heavy losses.
Jiang Laizheng had an appointment with several clients from Jingcheng to discuss cooperation after the New Year.
We didn’t go back to Jiangcheng for the time being and treated it as a vacation.
That day, Jiang Lai was reading the news online, feeling somewhat puzzled. "Do you think Zhou Fang will really continue to compete openly and secretly with Fu Qichuan for you?"
"have no idea."
I shrugged.
After that night, Zhou Fang and I had very little contact.
He never even called me. At most, he would occasionally send me a WeChat message to ask what I was doing.
I'm not even sure if he really does this for me.
Those experiences in the past seem to have made me lose all confidence in my relationship.
I no longer believe that a man would do this or that for me.
These are common cases where it is simply a struggle for interests in the business world.
Jiang Lai was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Did you know?"
I wondered, "What?"
"The DNA test results of the Shen family are out."
She handed the phone to me, a little worried about me, "It is indeed the eldest daughter of the Shen family."
"fine."
At least, Madam Shen can finally feel at ease.
She hopes to win back Shen Qingli's heart as soon as possible, and I, an outsider, can feel that.
"What about you and Zhou Fang? Do you really believe he will break off the engagement?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not."
I chuckled, stood up, put down my drawing board, and sat by the window to stretch my shoulders. "What he does is important. I'm not a young girl just beginning to fall in love. Can I let him keep me hanging all day long?"
Jiang Lai pressed on, "Don't you like him a little?"
I corrected him, "Let's call it a good impression for now."
…
Later that night, I suddenly received a call from Mrs. Shen.
Even through the phone, one could feel the old lady's joy, "Nanzhi, you are simply the lucky star of our Shen family! We have been looking for Qingli for so many years and couldn't find her. As soon as you appeared, we found her."
I smiled and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, but you finally found Miss Shen."
"Oh, thanks to you!"
The old lady started to ramble, "It's just that the girl has probably been through too much outside and is always timid. I... I want to care for her, but I'm afraid of scaring her."
I consoled him, "Maybe you're a little guilty. We still have a lot of time to live together, and it should be fine after spending more time together."
"I always feel like something is wrong."
The old lady was a little regretful. "You know, that girl was such a bully when she was little. No matter how much she changes, she can't be so timid..."
Hearing this, I was about to speak when the old lady sighed and said, "Never mind, let's not talk about this. This is something worth being happy about after all. Are you still in Jingcheng?"
I answered truthfully, “Yes, I am.”
"That's great! I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up."
The old lady smiled, "We're planning a welcome party for Qingli tonight, and you insisted on coming. Your grandmother Zhou and I have been wearing the clothes you designed for us during the New Year, and many people have been asking where we ordered them. I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of them. I guarantee you'll have plenty of business for the whole year!"
"...Okay, thank you in advance!"
I hesitated for a moment, then agreed for the sake of business.
Since I am doing private customization, I can't avoid dealing with famous ladies. Even if not now, sooner or later in the future.
If you want to avoid it, you can only close down.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, I naturally cannot refuse it.
The old lady smiled and said, "I heard from Ah Fang that you have a friend who has also come to Jingcheng. Ask her if she is willing. If she is, you can come and play together."
After hanging up the phone, before I could ask Jiang Lai if she was willing, she interrupted me with a look of heroic sacrifice on her face.
"Take me with you. I can talk business when you don't need to, and I can scold you when you need to."
"...Thank you."
She and I changed our clothes and put on makeup, and then the hotel front desk called.
Tell the Shen family that the driver is waiting for us downstairs.
…
The atmosphere in the Shen family was a little more relaxed than before.
At this time, there were no other guests yet, most of them were relatives of the Shen family.
Old Madam Shen arranged for the housekeeper to wait for us at the door in person. As soon as we got out of the car, he led us to Old Madam Shen's yard.
The banquet hall was decorated in a festive and lively manner, and everyone knew who the protagonist of the day was at a glance.
"Nanzhi!"
Seeing us come in, Mrs. Shen was very happy and waved me over.
In the hall, Madam Zhou was also there.
"Grandma, Grandma Zhou."
I smiled and took a quick look, then saw the woman sitting next to my grandmother.
I remember her.
In the photo that was in the news a few days ago.
She seemed to have been dressed up again. She was wearing a light red cheongsam, her hair was draped naturally, and her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.
Her facial features were small and pretty, but her lipstick was almost licked off by her frequent licking of her lips, revealing her lips which were pale and almost bloodless.
When she met my gaze, she dodged a little and looked elsewhere.
I took Jiang Lai over and introduced her to me. Jiang Lai immediately got along well with Madam Zhou and we had a great chat.
Madam Shen pulled me to sit on her other side, looked at Shen Qingli, and said with a smile: "Qingli, this is Nanzhi. She has the same birthday as you, right? Let's take your measurements later and ask Nanzhi to make you a few more cheongsams."
I smiled slightly, “Hello, Miss Shen.”
“…Hello…”
Shen Qingli's eyes turned restlessly, as if I were some kind of monster.
The next moment, she suddenly stood up, ran towards the door, and said softly, "Brother Afang!"
I glanced over subconsciously and saw Zhou Fang walking in with long legs, wearing a fly jacket and brown casual trousers.
The moment our eyes met, I suddenly lowered my eyes in panic.
His fiancée is here.
