Just then, Zhan Xiuchen looked over.
Zhan Pingting couldn't help but shrink back, a chill creeping up her back.
She was becoming increasingly afraid of her half-brother.
If possible, she really didn't want to deal with this brother who was completely devoid of any emotion.
But there was nothing they could do; Zhan Xiuchen became president.
However, her brother Zhan Wang, who shared the same parents, was not selected.
Zhan Pingting understood the importance of assessing the situation better than anyone.
Now she has to bite the bullet and try to build a good relationship with Zhan Xiuchen.
And just then, an opportunity presented itself.
Shi Yu, that beautiful, doll-like female celebrity, has been frequently showing interest in her lately.
Zhan Pingting could see through the other party's ambition at a glance.
And she began to have her own ideas.
No man could resist such a beautiful woman.
She believed that Zhan Xiuchen would be no exception.
Giving Shi Yu to Zhan Xiuchen would be both a gesture of goodwill towards Zhan Xiuchen and, in effect, a way of placing someone by Zhan Xiuchen's side.
"Brother, it's been so long! I've come to see you." Zhan Pingting spoke, her voice clear and melodious like a silver bell, carrying a girlish charm that was enough to conceal all her true feelings.
Changing the subject, Zhan Pingting added, "By the way, I have a banquet next week, and I'd like to invite you, brother? Would you like to come?"
The banquet was just an excuse; the real purpose was to introduce Shi Yu and Zhan Xiuchen to each other.
It's not important that a woman appeared in Zhan Xiuchen's residence just now.
Which of the powerful and wealthy doesn't have affairs with women outside the marriage?
It's common for presidents to have multiple wives and concubines, leave their sperm everywhere, and have illegitimate children all over the place.
Besides, she glanced at the woman's back out of the corner of her eye.
She is quite tall, but too thin.
Compared to Shi Yu's slender figure, it's like comparing heaven and earth.
Upon receiving Zhan Pingting's invitation, Zhan Xiuchen pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
Clearly, he didn't want to give Zhan Pingting any face.
Zhan Pingting wasn't annoyed. Instead, she said coquettishly, "Brother, I don't know if I saw it wrong just now? I saw a woman's back, so you're keeping a mistress in a gilded cage?"
Zhan Xiuchen remained silent, but his expression grew increasingly deep and sharp.
Zhan Pingting suddenly chuckled: "It's normal for men to look for women. I promise I won't tell anyone, so you're a good brother. Will you agree to attend my banquet?"
"I didn't mean anything by it. It's just a little girl's mentality. I want my friends to know that I have a president brother. I'm so proud of that."
Zhan Xiuchen slowly raised his eyes and stared at Zhan Pingting for a long time.
The wind blew in through the window, making a whistling sound.
A chill ran through my heart.
Zhan Pingting felt a sudden tightness in her heart as she was stared at like that.
Just then, Zhan Xiuchen suddenly smiled.
He was smiling, but his eyes were devoid of any warmth.
"Okay," Zhan Xiuchen agreed.
Zhan Pingting breathed a sigh of relief, but her back was already soaked.
........
Zhan Family Villa.
In addition to the newly elected president, Zhan Xiuchen moved to the White Jade Palace, the residence of previous presidents.
The rest of the Zhan family still live in this prime villa district in the city center, where land is incredibly valuable.
At this moment, Zhan Xiuchen's stepmother, Lin Yazhu, looked at her daughter Zhan Pingting with a very unpleasant expression.
She heard from the driver that Zhan Pingting had just gone to Baiyu Palace.
This made Lin Yazhu's already bad mood even worse.
The presidential election was held a month ago.
She always believed that it must be her biological son, Zhan Wang, who was elected.
But no one expected that Zhan Xiuchen would emerge as a dark horse!
You should know that she has already taken care of all the arrangements for her son Zhanwang!
Zhan Xiuchen and Zhan Wang's father, Zhan Zhanshan, also sided with their youngest son, Zhan Wang!
But in the end, Zhan Xiuchen actually won?
Lin Yazhu was truly unwilling to accept this.
She married Zhan Zhanshan, who had already secretly planned to marry her, when Zhan Xiuchen was ten years old and Zhan Wang was already six.
After that, all of the Zhan family's resources were directed toward Zhan Wang.
Zhan Xiu was a nobody in the Zhan family.
Lin Yazhu found it hard to accept that her years of hard work had come to naught.
"What are you doing at the Jade Palace!" Lin Yazhu questioned Zhan Pingting.
In Lin Yazhu's view, her daughter's visit to Baiyu Palace was a way to get closer to Zhan Xiuchen!
This was unacceptable to Lin Yazhu!
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yazhu realized that she had become a little agitated, so she softened her tone.
She said, "Pingting, your brother Zhan Wang is in a bad mood because he lost the election. Instead of congratulating Zhan Xiuchen on becoming president, you should comfort your brother."
Zhan Pingting outwardly agreed.
But inwardly, I rolled my eyes.
He was so upset about not being elected president that he was acting like he was going to die.
Such resilience.
Alright!
You shouldn't be president!
If you do it, you'll be dragged down!
She wouldn't bother offering comfort; it would only be a waste of her breath!
She really needs to get on good terms with Zhan Xiuchen as soon as possible.
Otherwise, this family of idiots will fall from grace sooner or later!
Zhan Pingting needs to find the strongest backer to cling to beforehand!
