When Xu Jing looked up, he saw a man walking with his female companion not far away.
When he got closer, he saw that it was the playboy Xu Ziyu. He ignored him and asked the salesperson to wrap up the jade pendant. Then he said to Mo Zechuan, "Give me the receipt. I'll pay the bill."
"Where's the money coming from? Don't try to be so dignified in front of me." Xu Ziyu glanced at the price. Three hundred thousand. It was a drop in the bucket for them, but a bolt from the blue for him. At least it wasn't something he could afford right now.
"Xiao Zhou, I..." Xu Jing snatched the receipt from his hand, then ignored Xu Ziyu and his female companion and went to the cashier, paid with his mobile phone, and paid the bill happily.
Then he asked the shopping guide to thread the jade pendant, put it into the gift box, and gave the handbag to Mo Zechuan.
"Remember what I said, demagnetize it when you get back and keep it safe. If it breaks one day, it will save your life."
"Pfft." The beautiful woman next to Xu Ziyu laughed, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Feudal superstition is unacceptable."
"Old Xu." Mo Zechuan looked at the beautiful woman with a bad face, as if he thought she was dirty. "Tell her to apologize to Xiao Zhou."
"No need." Xu Jing didn't want to argue with Xu Ziyu and the others. There was no need to get involved in the first place, and he had nothing to be angry about. "Let's go."
"Wait." Xu Ziyu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Zechuan, your people have ignored me again and again, so shouldn't he apologize to me too?"
"Old Xu." Mo Zechuan knew that Xiao Zhou was kind-hearted and had never bothered with the people around him just for his face. Now he had no relationship with them at all, so there was no need for Xiao Zhou to swallow his anger.
"What are you talking about? Xiao Zhou is an employee of my company. Does the boss need your approval to take his employees out shopping?"
"Tsk, so this is called an employee. I've learned something new."
Xu Ziyu picked his ears, casually took the tissue handed to him by the beautiful woman, and wiped his hands.
"There's a private room here where we can have tea. I wonder if Xiao Zhou would be so kind as to join us for tea."
Mo Zechuan was about to refuse when Xu Jing stopped him. "Okay, Mr. Xu, please."
When Xu Jing heard Xu Ziyu's malicious tone, he knew that the threat to his family must be related to him.
I think Mo Zechuan only has a few friends, and apart from Pei Yiming, there are not many others who are reliable.
Especially Xu Ziyu, who always harbored hostility towards him. Xu Jing also felt somewhat baffled, not knowing how he had offended him.
It's a good opportunity to make things clear while drinking tea to avoid the trouble of finding fault later.
There were four people in a private room. As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought tea. Just as he was about to fill the cup for the guests, Xu Ziyu instructed: "Qianqian, fill Xiao Zhou's cup. It can be regarded as an apology."
Wang Qian's face wasn't looking good, but she still managed to pour him some tea for the sake of her financial sponsor. Xu Jing rested his hand on the teacup and glanced at Mo Zechuan. "Boss Mo, why don't you treat your new employee to a drink?"
Mo Zechuan was of course happy to do it himself. He had long been annoyed by the strange, heavily made-up woman named Qianqian. Now, he couldn't bear to see her around Xiao Zhou, as he thought it was bad luck.
When he took the teapot, he frowned and asked the waiter, "Can you give me a pot of Rainforest Longjing tea?"
There was a sink in the private room. After Mo Zechuan let go of his hand, he went to the sink to wash his hands. Without caring about Wang Qian's pale face, he took the teapot brought by the waiter.
He first disinfected the tea set, then poured it out, and with a slight display of his Phoenix three-nod technique, placed a cup of poured tea where he could just reach it.
Xu Ziyu was really not worthy of such considerate look and could not bear to watch it at all.
"Hey Zechuan, there's no need to show off your affection in front of me." It's too cheap to let a sugar daddy serve his mistress.
Mo Zechuan said: "You misunderstood, I and him..."
"Mr. Mo," Xu Jing interrupted, taking a sip of tea. "It's good tea, produced this year."
"You know tea?" Xu Ziyu said disapprovingly, "The cup you drank wasn't expensive. A piece of black jade can be exchanged for a tea cake."
"It's not that good." He had tasted the tribute given by the emperor, so this new thing could only fool them, the laymen. "Have you tasted the state tea?"
Xu Ziyu heard the hidden meaning in his words and waved his hand, signaling the waiter to close the door.
Wang Qian was about to leave when Xu Ziyu took her into his arms, patted her on the back and signaled her to behave herself.
"Go on."
Xu Jing took out his phone, swiped a few times, and turned on the recording. Then, while drinking tea, he said, "Did you give the two million to my family?"
"Yeah." Xu Ziyu ignored his little gesture. If she really wanted to sue him, the recording wouldn't be enough. His network of connections was enough to give Zhou Jinxi a hard time.
Xu Ziyu was afraid that he didn't have the courage to tell Mo Zechuan, so he hid behind Mo Zechuan and whispered in his ear, which made him feel a little disgusted.
Xu Jing understood and continued, "Did you receive the money?"
"Let me explain clearly what you mean by receiving the money. I haven't even seen a shadow of it."
Facing Mo Zechuan's puzzled gaze, Xu Ziyu sighed softly and said, "Brother, I've been so worried about you. I spent two million to settle Zhou Jinxi's family for you so that you could have him. Are you happy?"
In Xu Ziyu's opinion, he was much more reliable than Pei Yiming. Relying on Pei Yiming's procrastinating character analysis and then slowly boiling his frog in warm water would likely mean she'd never win his heart. It would be safer to tie him down to his own interests.
"Xu Ziyu, what you did is really disgusting. When did I ever ask you to mess with his family?"
Mo Zechuan was furious. He had never imagined that Xu Ziyu had set him up behind his back. If Xiao Zhou hadn't believed in him, he probably wouldn't have even seen Xiao Zhou.
He now has to thank Xiao Zhou for his tolerance and generosity, and for letting bygones be bygones. Otherwise, the false accusation alone would have been enough to get him into trouble.
"No matter what, you're the one who benefits. I'm doing this for your own good."
Mo Zechuan stood up in an instant, pulled Wang Qian away from Xu Ziyu, grabbed his collar and said, "I asked you to threaten his family. Didn't I tell you to handle his problems myself? You and Old Pei don't need to worry about it. Why are you ignoring my words?"
"Don't be like this." Xu Ziyu smiled instead of getting angry, pushed his hand away, and lazily lay on the sofa behind him, saying: "In the end, didn't he still obediently become your lover? Are you planning to give him a name and let him become your mistress like Qianqian?"
"Pa." Mo Zechuan slapped him. Amid Wang Qian's screams, Mo Zechuan said coldly: "Don't think I'm as bad as you. I just want to date him, not to make him my canary. Don't interfere and make things unnecessary."
Xu Ziyu wiped the corner of his lips, luckily no blood was seen.
He glanced at Zhou Jinxi out of the corner of his eye and regretfully found that he didn't see any smug look on his face.
However, his female companion Wang Qian was trembling with fear. Her petty and cowardly appearance made him feel ashamed.
