Back home, Qiao Zhen was surprised to find that Lu Zheng didn't bother him at all.
Qiao Zhen shook her head, trying to stop thinking about Lu Zheng, and continued to investigate the background of the Cui family.
After the previous investigation, he discovered that the Cui family's relationships were actually quite complicated. However, because Qiao Zhen's attention was focused on Cui Yue at the time, he did not have time to investigate other collateral branches.
Right now, Qiao really has to give up on Cui Yue's approach.
However, she soon made a new discovery about the Cui family.
In the section for collateral relatives of the Cui family, a name was prominently displayed.
Qiao Zhen slowly moved the mouse and then clicked on the person's page.
A familiar voice came into view, and Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
What a small world!
I never expected that Cui Yi was actually a member of the Cui family.
This discovery surprised Qiao Zhen quite a bit, and she couldn't help but continue her search.
This investigation led him to discover other things as expected.
It turns out that Cui Yi is an illegitimate child and doesn't receive good treatment in the Cui family. However, his status at home improved somewhat after he gained some popularity online by working as a model due to his handsome appearance.
But an actor is just an actor; in the eyes of a businessman, he is nothing more than a well-known commodity. Even after his status improved, the gap between him and Cui Yue was still very large.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen suddenly had a plan in mind. She closed her laptop and was preparing the plan when she suddenly realized that Lu Zheng was right behind her.
Qiao Zhen was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lu Zheng, who are you trying to scare to death?"
Lu Zheng said in an ambiguous tone, "What, you're not going to give in either?"
"Make way, make way." Qiao Zhen sighed helplessly, her muttering growing softer and softer: "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Lu Zheng suddenly became interested and hugged Qiao Zhen tightly.
"I've forgotten what I saw before."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Luosheng instinctively sensed something was wrong and looked warily at Lu Zheng behind him.
"It means I want to watch it again."
Lu Zheng smiled, a rare occurrence, and quickly stripped Qiao Zhen naked.
"You!" Qiao Zhen was surprised by Lu Zheng's sudden reaction, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"What, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
Listening to Lu Zheng's flirting, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but close her eyes and turn her head to one side.
"Don't go too far!"
Lu Zheng braced himself with his arms, looking at Qiao Zhen beneath him with a look of grim determination, but suddenly remembered the help Gu Xijue had given him.
Immediately, his face darkened, and his movements became somewhat rough.
Qiao Zhen was hurt by him and couldn't help but open her eyes and glare at him angrily.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng acted as if he hadn't seen anything, his movements revealing a ruthless edge.
"Are you crazy? Why are you using so much force?"
Qiao Zhen was in so much pain that she could hardly bear it, and she struggled to speak while biting her lip.
"This is your punishment."
After saying that, Lu Zheng bit Qiao Zhen's neck hard.
"Hiss." Qiao Zhen couldn't help but wince in pain, but she could faintly hear Lu Zheng's voice.
"Qiao Zhen, you owe me something you can probably never repay in this lifetime."

When Qiao Zhen woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Looking at the note left next to Lu Zheng, besides telling him to eat breakfast, there was an additional note.
"We're going to the Lu family's house for dinner tonight. Grandma has been discharged from the hospital."
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but hesitate.
If we stay for dinner at the Lu family's house that night, then we definitely can't go to another province to find Cui Yi.
This means her job is definitely out of the question.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen suddenly remembered that the culprit was Lu Zheng, so she decided to give up and do whatever she wanted.
Who made Lu Zheng raise such a demanding request?
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen dragged her aching body to the bathroom, washed up, and then used concealer to cover up the marks on her body.
Looking at the marks Lu Zheng left on her body, Qiao Zhen gritted her teeth in hatred, and her desire to leave and go to another province intensified.
Not long after, Qiao Zhen boarded a plane to another province.
On the plane, Qiao Zhen looked at the blue sky outside the window and couldn't help but daydream, taking a moment to relax.
After getting off the plane, Qiao Zhen went straight to the venue where Cui Yi was holding an event.
Because of their previous collaboration, Cui Yi's assistant had a deep impression of Qiao Zhen. Upon discovering her arrival, he immediately opened a VIP channel for her and had her wait backstage.
"Sister Qiao Zhen, what brings you here?"
The assistant's voice sounded somewhat surprised; it seemed he had come specifically to see Cui Yi.
"Yes, I'm here to talk to him about something. When will he be back?"
"It'll be over soon. The event will be over soon, and then I'll just have to answer a few questions from reporters."
After the assistant gave a brief explanation, she was called away by the organizers to resolve the issue, leaving Qiao Zhen alone backstage, bored and playing on her phone.
However, Qiao Zhen also became interested, after all, it would feel like a waste to come all this way and not see anything.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen quietly went to the area where the stage met the backstage and glanced at Cui Yi on stage.
The event has ended, and Cui Yi is now answering questions from reporters.
Driven by a gossipy nature, Qiao Zhen listened carefully to several of them.
Most of the questions concerned emotional issues and future career directions.
Cui Yi answered each question very seriously, until one reporter asked...
"Mr. Cui, you've been in the entertainment industry for so many years and you've never been in a relationship. Many fans are worried about you. What's your opinion on this?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but prick up her ears.
