Yu Jiu winked at her and said playfully.
·····
Wu Qianqian left without saying a word.
Yu Jiu and Zhang Yan hurriedly chased after them, calling out as they went.
"Do you know the way back to the hotel? We'll take you back~~~"
Wu Qianqian ran even faster.
Why would I need her to deliver anything?!
Wu Qianqian called home that same day to ask her elderly father what to do.
"She said Xu Zijiang was sent on a business trip to another place. His wife is really hard to deal with. She even brought a woman to provoke me. I can't take it anymore!"
"Just bear with it a little longer. Xu Zijiang is good-looking, has powerful backers, and is skilled in business. He's also smart. His wife is no pushover either; otherwise, how could she have resisted other women and stayed with Xu Zijiang all this time?"
If you want to achieve great things, you must be patient; otherwise, how could you possibly have a chance with a man like him?
Wu Qianqian's father told her to be more patient.
Although it's not a pleasant thing to say, it's true. Wu Qianqian's father had someone investigate Xu Zijiang. Although they couldn't find out everything, the information that was out in the open was enough to make the father and daughter fall for him.
Xu Zijiang is handsome, capable, and has powerful connections. He'll only prosper in the future. If they can get hold of him now, they'll have nothing to worry about. Besides, their family can rise to a higher social status through Xu Zijiang's connections, which couldn't be better.
"Alright."
With her father's reassurance, Wu Qianqian gradually calmed down.
She's already been divorced once, so she's naturally not as naive as she was when she was younger, no longer thinking about love over money. Now, money is the most important thing to her, and Xu Zijiang just happens to be rich, capable, and handsome enough to be a good match for her.
If she doesn't hold on to him, who knows what kind of person she'll meet next? Even if winning over Xu Zijiang is a bit difficult, the harder the process, the sweeter the reward. Since Wu Qianqian is renting a place and settling down, she naturally intends to stay here long-term.
She firmly believes that there is no wall that cannot be dug down, only a hoe that is not good enough!
So the next day, Wu Qianqian called Yu Jiu again. Although she didn't tell her their home address, she still left her contact information. Yu Jiu didn't expect that after leaving in a huff the day before, she would come back to find her again after just one night.
Yu Jiu raised an eyebrow and indeed went over to see what kind of trouble she was up to this time.
Xu Zijiang was not sent on a business trip. He had just returned and hadn't seen his two children, An'an and Yuanyuan, for a week. The siblings missed him very much.
So Yu Jiu put him at home to take care of the two children, picking them up from school, helping them with their homework, and playing with their toys. Wu Qianqian and the winery were left to her. Once Wu Qianqian left, Xu Zi would resume his activities.
Xu Zijiang had no objection to the arrangements for Yu Jiu, so Wu Qianqian was able to avoid seeing Xu Zijiang during this period.
"What's wrong? Is there something you need me for?"
Yu Jiu left without a word, but Zhang Yan didn't come today. The little brat must have caught a cold and fever last night; she needs someone to keep her company today, so Yu Jiu certainly couldn't let her come over at this time.
Anyway, Yu Jiu could handle Wu Qianqian on her own, so there's no need to.
"First, help me move my things to the house, then take me to visit your winery."
Wu Qianqian said imperiously that she had brought a lot of luggage with her when she came, and it was normal for her to ask Yu Jiu to help her carry some of it since she couldn't carry it all by herself. However, Yu Jiu did not expect that she was going to move over today.
Moreover, she wouldn't do hard labor for her love rival, and her attitude was so bad. Although she didn't bring anyone with her, this didn't faze Yu Jiu at all.
"Okay, you wait."
Yu Jiu turned around and hired someone outside the street to do the work. Yu Jiu only asked him to help Wu Qianqian carry half of her luggage, and Wu Qianqian was to carry the other half.
·····
Wu Qianqian never expected Yu Jiu to be so cunning! She had already asked someone to help her, yet she still left so much luggage for her to carry. It was outrageous! Wu Qianqian was furious, so she spent her own money to hire a laborer to do the work.
In the end, the two walked back to the house empty-handed, leaving all their luggage to the people they had paid. However, since they had paid a lot, the luggage wasn't heavy enough, and the people carrying it were quite happy, wishing such good fortune could happen every day.
Wu Qianqian's first move was easily neutralized by Yu Jiu. Yu Jiu didn't get angry or flustered at all; instead, she remained calm and composed, making Wu Qianqian look like the one who was jumping up and down in anger.
When they got to the house, she naturally wanted Yu Jiu to help her clean it again, but this time Yu Jiu wouldn't indulge her.
“Go out and spend some money to hire someone to clean. I’m not your maid, and I have to do everything. I’ve already paid for your rent. Do the rest yourself. You’re not helpless. What guest is so fond of the host?”
Yu Jiu retorted clearly.
"Ha, is this how you entertain guests? So stingy! You won't even spend this little bit of money, won't even help with this little favor. You're such a petty person. What did Brother Xu see in you? It's no wonder he didn't have many options back in the countryside and had to marry someone like you!"
Wu Qianqian was so angry that she said all sorts of hurtful things. Yu Jiu smiled for a moment, then immediately changed her expression. Finally, she got a chance to lash out. She immediately turned pale and scolded Wu Qianqian.
"Fine, you keep saying you're a guest, but have you ever put yourself in that position? You're always finding fault with me and saying this and that."
Why Xu Zijiang married me is none of your concern; that's between my husband and me. You should worry about yourself first. Since you're so dissatisfied with me, I don't need to entertain you. Find someone to show you around here yourself!
"With your wealth, you surely wouldn't be unable to care for even a local. I won't keep you company!"
"As for the winery, there are many people who want to open a winery. You can visit other people's wineries. If we're talking about the favors our family owes your father, we've almost paid them off. Our trip to your place was originally a transaction."
Do you think we didn't give gifts or money to your dad?
"It's just a transaction. Saying we owe your father a favor is already giving you face. We've already entertained you since you came. Since you're not satisfied, you might as well go home. From now on, your affairs are none of our business!"
Yu Jiu snorted coldly, turned around and left, no longer caring about Wu Qianqian's life or death. Wu Qianqian did not expect her to suddenly lose her temper. After all, although she had openly and secretly criticized her before, she had still given her face. Now everything had changed.
Feeling wronged and bewildered, she naturally called home to ask her father for instructions. What they discussed remains a mystery. All that is known is that the next day, she called Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang again. This time, Yu Jiu didn't even answer the phone, let alone listen to what she had to say or come out to spar with her.
She didn't know where Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang lived, so she had to pay someone to inquire. In the end, after going around in circles, she couldn't find Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang, but instead ended up at Zhang Yan and Gouzi's place, since they still lived in that alley, and the address wasn't hidden at all.
When Zhang Yan saw that she had come looking for her, she didn't give her a friendly look at all. She asked her in an annoyed tone.
"What do you want from me? We're not even acquainted, we've only met once. Go back to where you're from and don't bother me. We have absolutely no connection!"
This time she said it had nothing to do with her, which infuriated Wu Qianqian. They had already said everything, and no matter what she said, it was wrong!
