After walking out of the headquarters, Wen Ziqing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Yuanyuan, when did you learn mind reading?"
"How can I read minds? I'm just guessing." Zhou Yuanyuan frowned and gave Wen Ziqing a cold look.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" Wen Ziqing was startled by Zhou Yuanyuan's sudden coldness.
"Nothing." Zhou Yuanyuan sighed, as if to release the frustration within. Although she had already vaguely suspected Liu Meiling's mischief when she saw Zhu Zhenhua asking Wen Ziqing three questions, her anger flared after Zhu Zhenhua's reminder. While she didn't expect anything in return for her kindness, she didn't want to be treated as a fool.
"Yuanyuan, I didn't think it through." Wen Ziqing pondered for a while and admitted his mistake.
In reality, Wen Ziqing shouldn't have gotten involved after Liu Meiling and Zhu Xiaojuan were taken to the police station. He was completely lost at the time, thinking that Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhu Xiaojuan had always been good friends, and he couldn't bear to see her get dragged down by Liu Meiling. In a fit of rage, he decided to remove Zhu Xiaojuan from the situation.
But Zhu Xiaojuan and Liu Meiling have always been together, so Wen Ziqing thought of getting Liu Meiling out as well. After all, he and Zhou Yuanyuan had just rescued Liu Meiling last time, so they couldn't let their hard work go to waste, right?
However, Wen Ziqing hadn't expected Liu Meiling to turn the tables on him. Normally, a person who's been saved wouldn't express gratitude to their rescuer, but at least wouldn't repay kindness with hatred, right? Well! Liu Meiling couldn't be described as "normal."
"Hmph!" Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Wen Ziqing and said nothing.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew that she was taking her anger out on Wen Ziqing, but she just couldn't contain her rage.
If Wen Ziqing hadn't been nosy and taken Liu Meiling out of the police station, how could she have encountered such a terrible thing? Liu Meiling was a self-centered person. She only resented why Wen Ziqing didn't personally send her back to Kyoto, and never considered how many favors Wen Ziqing had to pay to ask Ren Dahai to take her back to Kyoto.
"Yuanyuan, don't be angry. I won't meddle in other people's business anymore." Wen Ziqing was not a fool. After a little thought, he immediately made a promise.
"Brother Ziqing, I know you have a good heart, but kindness has to be reserved for different people, right? Next time...you're not allowed to bother with Liu Meiling." Zhou Yuanyuan seized the opportunity to make a request. She had decided to label Liu Meiling a "no contact person," out of sight, out of mind. If she continued to act rashly, she'd be slapped to death.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely ignore such people in the future. Yuanyuan, actually, this time I am not doing this for Liu Meiling's sake, but for Zhu Xiaojuan's sake. Aren't you and Zhu Xiaojuan good friends? We can't just leave Zhu Xiaojuan in the police station and ignore her, right?" Wen Ziqing glanced at the angry Zhou Yuanyuan and explained.
Okay! This reason is barely acceptable. Zhou Yuanyuan nodded.
Wen Ziqing was right. This time, even if Wen Ziqing didn't reach out, Zhou Yuanyuan would not leave Zhu Xiaojuan alone.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan’s depression was instantly cured.
Wen Ziqing still had to go to work, and when they reached a fork in the road, Zhou Yuanyuan waved goodbye and ran away without waiting for Wen Ziqing to say he would take her back to the family building.
Wen Ziqing looked at Zhou Yuanyuan's jumping figure, his eyes full of doting. It's great to have such a little girl who has a clear distinction between love and hate!
Zhou Yuanyuan returned to the family building and just inserted the key into the keyhole when she heard the phone ringing inside.
"Hello?" Zhou Yuanyuan answered the phone just as it was about to stop ringing.
"Yuanyuan, when will you return to Kyoto?" Zhao Yunxiang's gentle voice came on the phone.
"Mom, Dad is on a business trip?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked back.
"How did you know?" Zhao Yunxiang was confused. Zhou Zhixin had just gone abroad, but this matter hadn't been made public?
"Otherwise, why would you think of me? This should be the time for you to talk to your dad!" Zhou Yuanyuan giggled.
Every time they called, Zhou Yuanyuan liked to tease her mother. It was true that Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin had a very good relationship over the years. Every afternoon when she had free time, Zhao Yunxiang would call Zhou Zhixin and they would chat affectionately. Once, Zhou Zhixin let something slip at home, and Zhou Yuanyuan would often use it to tease Zhao Yunxiang.
Seeing her family safe and happy, Zhou Yuanyuan felt her heart filled with happiness.
"Go away, you little brat, always making fun of me." Zhao Yunxiang scolded him with a smile, then got back to the point: "Yuanyuan, Mom wants to open a skincare company, what do you think?"
"Skin care products?" Zhou Yuanyuan's mind raced. Was something upsetting her mom? Yunyun was already busy enough, and with another company, would her mom be able to handle it?
"Come over if you're busy, come over! We still have Sister Sanniang and your Aunt Qiuyu!" Zhao Yunxiang's anxious voice rang out from the other end of the line. Zhou Yuanyuan realized that she had unknowingly asked what was in her heart.
"What's going on? Does Aunt Qiuyu need help?" Zhou Yuanyuan immediately understood what Zhao Yunxiang meant before she even said it.
"Huh? Why didn't you guess that it was Sanniang who needed help?" Zhao Yunxiang felt a little strange. Although Zhou Yuanyuan was quite capable, she was thousands of miles away. There was no way she knew what the three of them had talked about just a few minutes ago, right?
"Do I need to guess? Hu Sanniang doesn't like to spend money," Zhou Yuanyuan muttered. Hu Sanniang was Zhou Yuanyuan's pet, and Zhou Yuanyuan knew that her greatest interest was in cultivation. Making money was just a side job for her. If Zhao Yunxiang hadn't truly missed Hu Sanniang, and if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't asked her to, Hu Sanniang would definitely not have left the Chaos Pearl's trial world to be with Zhao Yunxiang.
"What did you say?" Zhou Yuanyuan's voice was too low, and Zhao Yunxiang on the other end of the phone didn't hear it clearly, so she couldn't help but ask again.
"I'm telling you to not tire yourself out," Zhou Yuanyuan said, changing her tone. She had no intention of telling Zhao Yunxiang about Hu Sanniang's true identity. Some things were better left to her alone.
Zhou Yuanyuan was genuinely worried that Zhao Yunxiang might be exhausted. While Yunyun was already on track, Zhao Yunxiang still had to control the launch of new products each quarter and Yunyun's development direction. Therefore, as Yunyun grew, Zhao Yunxiang had a lot to do every day.
The skin care business that Zhao Yunxiang wants to do is a different field from Yunyun Clothing.
To do it well, Zhao Yunxiang would have to put in a lot of effort. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want Zhao Yunxiang to be too tired. After all, the money Yunyun had earned in the past few years was enough for Zhao Yunxiang to spend for the rest of her life. There was really no need to work too hard.
