The woman looked He Zhao up and down, but she still couldn't recognize who he was.
After all, big shots like to keep a low profile.
They are very high-profile yet low-profile.
Qiao Zhen was completely confused. Basically, the beautiful woman in red was saying that she had sold her brother's business information for a man named "Yi Ze." "He's Yi Ze, who are you?"
The woman raised a hand to smooth her hair, her gaze disdainful. "Even if you suffered such a huge setback back then, there's no need to pretend you don't know us, is there?" She gave a seductive, fake smile. "I am Diana, Yize's girlfriend after he dumped you. We met in Yize's bedroom."
Her final syllable trailed off in an ambiguous tone.
What can happen between a man and a woman in a bedroom? Anyone with a brain can figure it out.
Qiao Zhen raised her hand to her heart, her face turning pale. He Zhao put his arm around her and helped her sit on the sofa. "Are you alright?"
She clutched He Zhao's clothes tightly, "My heart hurts, and my head... it hurts too. Who are they?"
He Zhao's sharp gaze swept over Yi Ze and Dai Anqi. "Them? They're none of our business. You're my wife, and no one can bully Mrs. He."
"The Yi family should go bankrupt."
Instead of getting angry, Diana laughed, her laughter filled with sarcasm. "Are you kidding me? The Yi family and the Dai family are related by marriage. You think you can bring down two big companies all by yourself? The most important thing in life is to know your own limitations."
Ize snapped at Diana, "Enough!"
He walked up to He Zhao and bowed at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. He, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly."
He Zhao glanced at him sideways and replied ambiguously, "The most important thing in being a person is to have self-awareness."
Yi Ze's expression was complicated; he was unwilling but could only drag Dai Anqi away. That was He Zhao, a business tycoon who dealt with both military and political figures. His brother was Jun Jinqiao, the youngest lieutenant general, and there was also Xu Lai from the central government.
We can't afford to mess with them.
Diana broke free from Yize's grasp. "Why are you holding me? Are we afraid of Qiao Zhen? He's just a man, how can he scare you like this!" She suddenly turned cold. "Are you still thinking about Qiao Zhen?"
Yi Ze suddenly released Dai Anqi, "Isn't he just a man? A man named He Zhao."
Diana's pupils dilated. "He Zhao?!"
Yize coldly curled the corner of his mouth. "Break off the engagement. When disaster strikes, everyone goes their separate ways." After saying that, he ignored the surprised and desperate woman behind him and walked away.
Dai Anqi was somewhat frightened. Although He Zhao often personally negotiated business, he forbade anyone to speak of or photograph his appearance.
Those who have met him remember his face; those who haven't met him wouldn't recognize him even if he walked past them. Yize and Diane are the best examples of this.
Diana left in a daze.
Qiao Zhen and He Zhao sat in the mall for a long time. Qiao Zhen's face was completely pale. He Zhao felt sorry for her and wanted to carry her back, but Qiao Zhen refused.
She asked again, "Who was that man just now? Who was he? Don't tell me he's some unrelated person. Why would someone unrelated make my heart ache?"
He Zhao couldn't hold back any longer. He scratched his head in frustration. "Damn it! You're my wife. What other man could you possibly be involved with?" He was afraid that being too fierce would scare Qiao Zhen, so he softened his voice. "Be good. You're my wife. You have nothing to do with him. The only reason you feel heartache is because he used you, abandoned you, and hurt you."
Qiao Zhen sobbed and threw herself into He Zhao's arms, terrified. "You were mean to me just now."
He Zhao hugged her tightly, his arms drawn around her. "I won't be mean to you anymore. I'll never be mean to you again."
Qiao Zhen continued to sob.
Having no other choice, He Zhao could only tell his assistant, "Buy everything that Madam just looked at," and then carry Qiao Zhen back home.
After crying for a while, Qiao Zhen felt extremely sleepy and drowsily curled up in the quilt to sleep.
He Zhao was furious. How could he have forgotten about Yi Ze, this ticking time bomb? He immediately instructed his assistant to arrange a meeting with Yi Ze. "Have Yi Ze come over."
"yes."
Half an hour later, Yi Ze entered the He family villa with a reserved demeanor. "Mr. He, hello."
He Zhao served tea without looking at Yi Ze, clearly disregarding him, but he had the right to do so. "I'll give you half a month to transfer your assets abroad, to any country, as long as it's not here. As for when you can return, someone will naturally inform you."
His meaning was quite clear.
Either get out or go bankrupt.
Unable to fathom He Zhao's thoughts, Yi Ze could only reply, "Yes." "Thank you, Mr. He. May I ask, how does Mr. He intend to deal with the Dai family?"
He Zhao chuckled lightly, his expression utterly contemptuous. "Keeping you around is still useful to you, but what use is the Dai family?"
The Dai family was useless, so they went bankrupt.
Yi Ze bowed his head and took his leave. Only after he left the He family villa did he realize that his palms and back were sweaty, and his hands were trembling slightly.
When Qiao Zhen woke up, it was already dark, and the bedroom light was very bright.
Xiao Ling: [Host...?]
Qiao Zhen: [...] Fuck you, it's just amnesia, why did Xiao Ling have to come back?
Xiao Ling asked again in a trembling electronic voice: [Host, it's me! It's me, Xiao Ling!]
Qiao Zhen: [I know.]
Xiao Ling was instantly dumbfounded. [Host, you...you know?!?! Didn't Xiao Er say you had amnesia and forgot the mission?!]
Qiao Zhen: [How am I supposed to know it's dumber than you?! Can't I just pretend to have amnesia?]
Xiao Ling: [You guys know how to have fun.]
Qiao Zhen: [What's wrong? The beauty pageant results from the Most Beautiful System are out? Did your girlfriend make the list?]
