Chapter 493: Reciprocity
Zhou Zijue was injured and hospitalized due to participating in the renaming ceremony of Yunyi Group and has not returned to the Zhou family yet. Zhang Hui has regained the feeling of being the wife of the Zhou family. She hopes that Zhou Zijue will stay in the hospital and not come back. She also feels a little regretful in her heart that Zhou Zijue only broke two ribs, so how come he was not beaten to death.
Therefore, Zhang Hui also resumed her usual routine. On a clear and cool autumn day, she was drinking her afternoon tea in the back garden when a bodyguard hurried over and whispered:
"Madam, Miss Yun Yi is here to visit you."
"Visit me? Shouldn't she go to see Viscount Zhou?"
Zhang Hui was a little confused and her eyelids twitched. She immediately put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand and prepared to call Zhou Zijue.
"Madam, I think your men have made it very clear. I am here to visit you, but judging by your expression, you are not welcoming me!"
The sound of ripples came lazily.
Zhang Hui subconsciously stood up from the table and looked at Yun Yi who was walking towards her.
Lianyi was wearing a neo-Chinese style navy blue buttoned slim-fit top today, a pair of off-white wide-leg trousers, and a pair of flat shoes. Her jet-black hair was tied up behind her head with a jade hairpin inserted in it. Two bodyguards followed behind her, and the other two were two steps behind and stopped the Zhou family's bodyguards.
"Boss Yunyun, why are you here?"
Zhang Hui stuttered and spoke with a forced smile.
"I said I was here to visit my lady."
Lianyi sat down on the rattan chair next to Zhang Hui without being invited and said with a smile.
"Boss Yun, although I hold the title of Madam Zhou, everyone knows that the person who makes the decision in the Zhou family is Viscount Zhou. I have no say at all. I don't know much about the family business, so I'm afraid I can't help Boss Yun."
Zhang Hui saw Lianyi sit down, so she slowly sat down and immediately began to distance herself from the other party, not wanting to become the other party's target.
"I know about this. Young Master Zhou is very capable. Your husband got into such a big trouble, and it was Young Master Zhou who saved the situation. I admire this very much."
Ripple continued to say with a smile.
However, Zhang Hui tightly gripped the armrests of the rattan chair. She wished she could eat the woman in front of her alive. It was she who designed to put the leaders of the Shan, Jian and Zhou families into prison, and now she came to talk nonsense in front of her.
"Mr. Yun is right. The Viscount is excellent."
"But I'm here for my lady, and I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you like it."
Lianyi waved her hand after she finished speaking. Gong Fan behind her stepped forward with a box, swept the tea set on the table directly to the ground, and placed the box in front of Zhang Hui.
The sound of the teacup falling and breaking was very crisp, which scared the already nervous Zhang Hui. She instinctively wanted to stand up, but Lianyi quickly pushed her back into the chair and blamed Gong Fan in a careless manner:
"How could you be so careless!"
"I'll pay attention next time."
After putting down his things, Gong Fan stood behind Lian Yi again without even glancing at Zhang Hui.
"Madam, open it and take a look."
Ripple said with a smile.
Zhang Hui swallowed her saliva, and finally raised her hand to open the box. Inside was a tube of lipstick. Her eyelids twitched even more, and her expression changed instantly. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lianyi:
"My stylist recommended it to me. She said it's the most popular plum red color right now and it suits my skin tone very well. She also said my wife asked her to bring it to me."
"No, not really."
Zhang Hui immediately denied it.
Lianyi didn't say much. She picked up the lipstick in the box, pinched the other person's neck, and then applied it carefully on the other person's lips.
"Ma'am, please don't move. It won't look good if you apply it crookedly. This color suits you very well!"
Zhang Hui wanted to cry but had no tears. Others didn't know what was in the lipstick, but she knew it very well. However, she didn't expect that the matter would be exposed, and the other party actually came to her directly instead of Zhou Zijue. She originally thought that she could put the blame on Zhou Zijue.
Lian Yi had already released his grip on the other person, and threw him back onto the chair. After looking at him for a while, he said:
"Very beautiful! I hope you will paint this color every day in the future."
"Boss Yun, I was forced to do this by Lord Zhou."
Zhang Hui took a deep breath and immediately passed the blame on to others.
"What did I ask you to do?"
Zhou Zijue's gloomy voice came from behind her, making Zhang Hui swallow the rest of her words, but she still immediately picked up the napkin on the table and wiped her lips vigorously.
Lian Yi was too lazy to stand up and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhou has been discharged from the hospital. Is he feeling better now?"
Zhou Zijue said with a fake smile:
"Thanks to Sister Yun, I'm much better now. I heard you were visiting me, so I hurried back to entertain you."
Zhou Zijue's upper body was still a little stiff, but as soon as he got the news, he rushed back to the Zhou family villa. It didn't make sense for him to hide in the hospital when others had come to the door.
"It's nothing serious. It's just a courtesy. I'm just giving Madam Zhang a gift in return."
After saying that, Lianyi stood up, glanced at Zhang Hui's face, and said lightly:
"Don't get involved in things that are beyond your reach. Today I am doing this for Lord Zhou's sake, but next time I will just break your neck."
Zhang Hui's face was a little pale. She touched her neck, and the feeling of suffocation just now seemed to come back again.
Zhou Zijue's brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't know what was going on for the time being.
"Mr. Zhou, in view of what Mrs. Zhang has done, I have decided to increase the profit distribution after our cooperation to 30%. You can contact me anytime after you have considered it."
After saying this, Lianyi left with her bodyguard.
Zhang Hui was so frightened that she collapsed in the rattan chair. The bodyguard who had informed her of the incident came to Zhou Zijue and told him what had happened.
Zhou Zijue held the lipstick in his hand and asked Zhang Hui coldly:
"What on earth did you do?"
"In order to avenge Hongyu, I had someone replace her lipstick. The stuff in it can make her a cripple. I did this for the Zhou family and for Hongyu."
Zhang Hui explained immediately.
Zhou Zijue's already pale face became even uglier. He waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him blocked Zhang Hui's mouth and dragged her away. It would not be a good end waiting for her.
"Idiot! If you were going to do it, why didn't anyone find out? Now she wants me to pay for her stupid behavior. Damn it!"
Zhou Zijue said with a sinister expression.
The ripples on the other side went straight back to Yunyi Group, where the public relations manager had been waiting for a while.
"Boss Yun, after the press conference, Yunyi's reputation has been temporarily stabilized because the group promised to pay for the medical expenses and lost wages of all injured guests, and also sent the frightened guests gifts that suited their hearts. They all said that they would not pursue the matter, and no bad rumors have been leaked for the time being."
"Okay, you've worked hard! Next, you must always pay attention to the direction of the Internet and don't let the group fall into a passive position."
"Okay, Mr. Yun."
After the public relations manager left, Lianyi received a call from Wan Liang.
