That morning, as Jiang Xile rode his bicycle out of the courtyard house on his way to work, he saw a woman standing at the entrance of the alley.
The woman looked unfamiliar and probably wasn't a neighbor. Jiang Xile glanced at her curiously but didn't intend to pay her any attention.
Unexpectedly, just as he approached the woman, he heard her speak:
"You must be Jiang Xile!"
"squeak..."
The sound of brakes rang out
Jiang Xile stopped her bicycle and looked at the woman in front of her. It was obvious that this person had come for her.
"Hello, Comrade Jiang. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Feifei, and I am a colleague at the Zimo Research Institute."
Zi Mo?
Colleagues at the research institute?
Although the woman said they were just colleagues, her tone was full of ambiguity, and her eyes showed not only her love for Liu Ziming, but also blatant malice towards her.
They've come to provoke us!
Jiang Xile found it somewhat amusing; she hadn't even accepted Liu Ziming's advances yet, and this unwanted romantic advance had already come knocking on her door.
However, judging from this woman's demeanor, this is probably not just an ordinary bad romance, but a cursed romance!
"Comrade Jiang, is there something you need from me?"
"I hope you can keep your distance from Liu Ziming. He is the man I have my eye on. Besides, we share the same interests and are like-minded."
You and he are not on the same path, so I advise you to distance yourself as soon as possible to avoid hurting both of you!
"Ha! Even if I had accepted Liu Ziming's advances, whether we're together or not is a matter between the two of us."
"What right do you have, someone who's only in love, to stand in front of me and criticize me? Do you really think you're the boss and can do whatever you want without any regard for the law?"
"You! I respect you as a descendant of a hero and have given you some face by coming to your door. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
"Hehe, I'd like to try what this penalty wine tastes like. Why don't you give me a cup to try!"
"you..."
Jiang Feifei raised her hand in a fit of rage, but it was immediately grabbed by a large hand, and the man's heavy breathing indicated his urgency.
Liu Ziming felt a wave of fear, and he couldn't even imagine what it would have been like if that slap had landed on Jiang Xile!
He felt heartbroken even if she hurt a single hair, so how could this woman dare to even think of hitting her!
With a flick of her wrist, Jiang Feifei was pushed to the ground.
"ah..."
Jiang Xile didn't look at the woman lying on the ground. Instead, she stared at Liu Ziming with a smile on her lips and an amused expression.
After shaking off the person, Liu Ziming immediately looked nervously at Jiang Xile. Meeting her insightful gaze, he became even more nervous.
"Lele, let me explain. I've only met this woman twice. She's my mentor's niece, and she was brought to the lab just a few days ago."
I rejected the arranged marriage long ago. When my mentor brought it up, I made my stance clear: I will marry no one but you in this lifetime.
I didn't expect her to come looking for you. I rushed over as soon as I received the news.
I...I really have nothing to do with her. It's all this woman's fault; she's just deluding herself."
"Liu Ziming, how could you do this to me? My uncle said he wanted to set us up and get married. Do you not want to stay in the lab any longer?!"
Jiang Feifei is clearly the kind of girl who is spoiled and doesn't know her place. She always thinks her family is very powerful and that everything should be done her way.
She took a liking to Liu Ziming the moment she arrived at the research institute, but Liu Ziming disregarded her feelings and refused to marry her on the spot.
This infuriated Jiang Feifei, leading her to use her family's influence to discover Jiang Xile's existence.
What she didn't know was that her uncle wanted to arrange her marriage with Liu Ziming not for her sake, but for Liu Ziming's.
With Liu Ziming's current abilities, she is fully capable of supporting a laboratory on her own. Jiang Xuemin has no successor and is unwilling to relinquish power, which is why he wants to keep her by using his niece.
If Jiang Xuemin had known that Jiang Feifei would make such a fuss, he probably wouldn't have dared to introduce his niece to Liu Ziming even if he had drunk thirty bottles of fake liquor.
Jiang Xile still had to go to work and didn't want to waste time here.
"Liu Ziming, you should handle your own affairs. I'll say it again: I've always considered you an older brother. If you find someone suitable, I will definitely wish you well."
But I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. I, Jiang Xile, may not be anyone special, but I'm not someone everyone can bully.
Liu Ziming knew that Jiang Xile was always punctual for work and hated being late. Today, Jiang Feifei blocked her way during her work hours, which implicated him as well.
"Lele, don't be angry. You go to work first. I'll handle things here. I promise she'll never dare to show her face in front of you again. I'll come to the steel mill to find you at noon and treat you to lunch to apologize, okay?"
"I eat at the cafeteria for lunch, and I still have to go to work in the afternoon. I don't want the hassle!"
"That night, I'll pick you up from get off work, and we'll go eat roast duck, okay?"
Liu Ziming was very nervous, afraid that Jiang Xile would refuse. Seeing his pitiful appearance, Jiang Xile couldn't bear it.
"I get off work at six!"
After leaving a message, Jiang Xile rode away on her bicycle.
Standing there, Liu Ziming smiled, his lips pursed. Lele still had a soft heart towards him, so these three years hadn't been wasted.
Just as he turned around and looked at the woman in front of him, Liu Ziming seemed to suddenly change his expression, radiating an unbridled chill.
His face was so dark, he looked like the King of Hell!
Jiang Feifei was initially somewhat resentful when she saw Jiang Xile leave, but now, seeing Liu Ziming's dark face, she began to feel uneasy.
However, considering her uncle's status, she felt that Liu Ziming probably wouldn't do anything to her.
"Brother Zimo...you, don't be so serious! Feifei only acted impulsively because she likes you so much!"
"Shut up!"
Liu Ziming frowned in disgust, then gestured behind him, and two men emerged from the shadows.
"Take her to the dark room and lock her up for two days. She can be released when she's learned her lesson!"
"Yes, Master Mo!"
Although Liu Ziming holds the title of researcher, he also secretly cultivates his own power base.
Without his own backing, how could he be so powerful and influential in the capital?
"What are you doing! Don't touch me! Liu Ziming, aren't you afraid my uncle will turn against you?"
Seeing the two men approaching her, Jiang Feifei screamed, but unfortunately, no one paid any attention.
"Ah...help..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Feifei's mouth was gagged. Liu Ziming watched as the two men took Jiang Feifei away before turning and leaving.
Just eating isn't enough; we need to apologize to Lele and prepare a big gift. As for Jiang Feifei and Jiang Xuemin behind her...
Liu Ziming narrowed his eyes. The weather was getting colder; the Jiang family was doomed...
