Around noon, Jiang Ci was strolling down the street when she suddenly bumped into a man coming from the opposite direction. She lowered her head and apologized repeatedly.
"Feel sorry."
Zhou Jinyan picked up the woman's handbag that had fallen to the ground and handed it to her, saying:
"It doesn't matter."
His voice was low and gentle. Jiang Ci glanced up and saw a man with a refined appearance, his peach blossom eyes alluring and soft as if they were filled with water. Her ears turned slightly red as she took the handbag.
"Thanks."
Zhou Jinyan chuckled lightly, turned around, and left, saying to Zhou Jin:
"It's not like Zhao Ye never shows his face in the office, so what exactly is he up to?"
Zhou Jin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said:
"What's more important than pursuing my wife?"
Jiang Ci glanced at his back, and just then, Zhou Jinyan suddenly seemed to remember something. He paused, turned around, and said:
"You wouldn't happen to be one of those actors on TV, would you?"
Jiang Ci met his gaze, smiled lightly, and nodded:
"Um."
Just then, the bodyguard bought the coffee and handed it over, saying:
"Miss, your coffee is ready."
Zhou Jin seemed to have realized something as well, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Or is she the daughter of the shipping magnate of Hong Kong?"
Zhou Jinyan lowered her voice and said:
"She is also the younger sister of the rich heiress that Zhaoye is pursuing."
Zhou Jin: "Then let's leave. If we give ourselves away again, it will affect his pursuit of his wife."
Jiang Ci couldn't hear what the two were saying, but just as she was about to step forward again,
The two turned and left. She stood there bewildered in the wind for a few seconds, muttering, "How come my reputation is so terrifying now?"
As she turned to leave, Zhou Jinyan glanced back and said:
"Have you noticed that this little girl doesn't look like the stepsister that Zhaoye is pursuing, but she actually looks a little bit like Zhaoye?"
Zhou Jin thought for a moment and said:
"Don't joke around. That's the daughter of Hong Kong's richest man. She has nothing to do with Zhao Ye. Don't think nonsense."
Besides, with so many people in the world, isn't it perfectly normal for some to look alike?
Zhou Jinyan was increasingly surprised by Wen Zhaoye's sudden move here, the fact that he had rented a prime building and had branches all over Hong Kong. He narrowed his eyes but remained silent.
In the evening, Wen Jiaojiao had just finished work and arrived home when she saw Jiang Peitian sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
She rolled her eyes, ignored her, and went upstairs.
That jerk, just seeing him ruins my mood.
"etc."
Jiang Peitian called out to her, slowly put down his newspaper, lifted his eyelids to look over and said:
What happened with Li Yu?
Wen Jiaojiao plopped down on the single sofa and said:
"If you're not going to tell me what your purpose is, then just leave me alone."
Jiang Peitian's eyes suddenly turned cold as he said:
"In my house, you have to follow my rules."
Wen Jiaojiao said without the slightest fear:
"To put it another way, I've been rebellious since I was a child. The more others tell me not to do something, the more I want to do it."
Jiang Peitian said with a cold look in his eyes:
"What? You've forgotten who you are just because you took some resources?"
Wen Jiaojiao crossed her arms and shrugged, saying:
"It doesn't matter who it is, I know you won't dare to touch me."
Jiang Peitian: "From now on, stay away from other men and don't get into any other crooked schemes. Otherwise, if I can't touch you, I'll have Ah Long break their legs."
Wen Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise as she said:
"So, you really did orchestrate what happened today?"
Jiang Peitian: "You don't need to know that. Just be obedient in Hong Kong."
Qi Meijing came downstairs and saw that the two were at loggerheads. She interrupted, saying:
"Jiaojiao is fine, why are you arguing with her as soon as you get back?"
Jiang Peitian glanced at him and said:
"From now on, you should stay at home and avoid going out in public."
Qi Meijing's face immediately turned ugly, and Jiang Ci spoke up to ease the atmosphere:
"Dad, Mom is quite bored at home alone. Going out to film a movie can help her relax. Why make things so tense?"
Jiang Peitian said in a cold tone:
"I don't care if it's just her, but if I'm with this girl, she'll do something to embarrass me sooner or later."
On the surface, everyone else thought that Li Yu might have had ulterior motives.
Considering what Wen Jiaojiao said last time, it's hard for him not to suspect that she might be trying to steal his wife.
After all, the coincidences were too much. First, Qi Meijing was put in a role, and then she was put in that very same role.
He wouldn't believe it if you said she didn't have the intention to orchestrate Qi Meijing's affair.
Qi Meijing looked sorrowful:
"Jiang Peitian, is this how you think of me? You're the one finding other women outside."
You left me at home, facing this cold, lifeless house every day. Now that I'm going out to find some fun, you're suddenly interfering.
Wen Jiaojiao added fuel to the fire, saying:
"Exactly. Whether a woman has other thoughts depends entirely on how the man treats her. Are you feeling sorry for your mother now, which is why you're so afraid of everything?"
Jiang Peitian narrowed his eyes, looking at the two with an extremely unapproachable expression, and said in a detached voice:
"In short, let me make this clear: if she dares to go out, neither of you should go."
Qi Meijing remembered that Jiang Peitian, who was once penniless, wasn't like this. Back then, he was a gentle and kind person, just like his kind face.
He treated her with great care and affection, but now it's unclear whether this is simply his nature or whether their marital bond has ultimately broken down.
With tears welling in her eyes, she went upstairs, looking exhausted.
Wen Jiaojiao didn't dare to speak, but followed up and advised:
"Mom, don't be sad."
Qi Meijing returned to her room, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes, and said sadly:
"It's not sadness, it's just a feeling of heartbreak. My life has been unhappy ever since I married him."
