What exactly is the purpose of Chapter 147?
He turned around, leaned against the window, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Besides, what you should be most worried about right now is not the recording, but whether Jiang Yan will turn against you."
Chen Yun was taken aback, then realized that Jiang Yan was the most important thing right now.
Jiang Yan's usually timid face flashed through her mind instantly.
But what if he really turns against them and takes all the blame upon himself...?
The consequences would be unimaginable.
She's after marriage into the Sheng family!
She went to great lengths to get close to Sheng Tingzhou, ingratiate herself with his family, and attend various high-society gatherings, all in order to smoothly become Mrs. Sheng.
If we were to sue Sheng Tingzhou now...
Even if they ultimately win, their relationship will be completely broken.
Why would he marry her?
Who in this circle isn't shrewd?
As soon as they hear that she has fallen out with Sheng Tingzhou, they'll all be busy trying to please him and then turn around and trample on her.
Those so-called "friends" who greeted her with smiles on the surface would suddenly become her laughing stock.
In the business world, interests and alignment are paramount; no one will sympathize with a woman who has offended a wealthy heir.
At that time, not only will her marriage be hopeless, but her family's reputation will also be affected.
In the end, everything fell apart, and they even lost face.
“Zhou Yuze…I think I really misjudged you.”
She suddenly realized that the partnership had been unequal from the very beginning.
She did all the dirty and hard work, and she took all the blame.
He's fine, he talks without any real concern for the consequences, he's not involved at all.
Zhou Yuze chuckled: "What's the big deal?"
He said this without even putting down his coffee cup, only tilting his head slightly.
Chen Yun gritted her teeth: "If we cooperate, I'll be the only one who suffers. Is that fair?"
Her voice rose slightly, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
"You were the one who suggested joining forces, agreeing to take over Sheng's resources together. Now that problems have arisen, you think you can just brush it off with 'it's nothing serious'? On what grounds?"
"You chose this path yourself."
"When people are greedy, they easily fall into traps. I just gave you a push. Blame it on your haste and lack of foresight."
He paused, then added.
"I advise you to find an opportunity to meet with Sheng Tingzhou alone. If you can reconcile privately, neither of you will lose face, which would be much better."
"After all, you two grew up together, so he has to give you some face, right?"
She finally understood that Zhou Yuze had never considered her a partner, but merely a pawn to be used.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun's pent-up anger dissipated by half.
Yes, we grew up together, inseparable since childhood, and know each other inside and out.
If she really tears off all ties and makes a huge scene, becoming a laughingstock for outsiders, what's in it for her?
Is it worth it?
Zhou Yuze suddenly added, "Oh, by the way, just so you know, he was with Song Zhiwei last night."
She froze, her breath catching in her throat for a moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
Only a monotonous and cold "beep beep" sound echoed in my ears from the receiver.
Chen Yun's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
She stared intently at the phone in her hand.
Them? How could that be?
How could someone as cold and aloof as Sheng Tingzhou suddenly get involved with Song Zhiwei?
When did they first get in touch?
Or was there a hidden story she was unaware of all along?
Has Sheng Tingzhou gone mad?
Or did Song Zhiwei use some underhanded methods?
But she seems so gentle and unassuming... how could this be?
Song Zhiwei had just changed her clothes and stepped out when she bumped into Sheng Tingzhou pushing the door open and coming in.
She instinctively took a step back, slipped, and almost stepped on the edge of her slippers.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and managed to regain my balance.
Jiang Churan returned to the Jiang family home, leaving only the two of them inside.
The room was so quiet that you could hear the faint hum of the air conditioner running.
Sheng Tingzhou looked around but didn't see his "directionally challenged best friend," and chuckled.
"Has your friend who always gets lost finally found her way home?"
Finally, only they were left.
Song Zhiwei shuffled to the kitchen in her slippers, grabbed two bottles of water, and handed one to him.
"She had something to do and went back."
She wiped herself on her pants and looked up at him as he twisted the bottle cap.
"The leak of the design drawings has been investigated? Was it Jiang Yan who did it?"
She asked the question while leaning against the kitchen door frame.
"Um."
Sheng Tingzhou unscrewed the bottle in her hand and then casually took the one she had just handed him.
"He was bribed by Chen Yun."
Song Zhiwei frowned.
She had no grudges against Chen Yun, and they had barely even argued a few times. Why would the other party resort to such underhanded tactics?
It was even specifically designed for her design drafts?
She glanced at the man beside her and suddenly asked, "Chen Yun, she doesn't like you, does she?"
Sheng Tingzhou took a sip of water, his dark eyes fixed on her.
A moment later, a smirk appeared on his lips, and he spoke with a flippant tone.
"I have a girlfriend now. Even if she likes pigs, it's none of my business."
Song Zhiwei: "..."
She paused for two seconds, then her cheeks flushed slightly.
When did this guy learn to say things like that?
They really know how to handle things.
Are you going to the company this afternoon?
Sheng Tingzhou leaned against the wall, casually crushed the empty bottle, and threw it into the trash can.
"I'm not going. I'll take a day off."
During the few days he was away on business, he worked overtime every night and didn't miss a single task.
I got back to the hotel in the early hours of the morning and still had to attend a remote meeting. Getting a full night's sleep was a luxury.
Today, he wanted to take a break and relax completely.
Song Zhiwei nodded: "Okay."
The boss is on holiday, how could she not take a break too?
Besides, the work is almost finished, so one more day won't make a difference.
As the two were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Sheng Tingzhou went over and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xie Lingling stood outside, paused for a moment, took a half step back, lightly touched the ground with her heel, scanned the door frame back and forth with her eyes, and then slowly raised her hand to carefully confirm the numbers on the door number.
She pursed her lips slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, before asking uncertainly, "Isn't this Zhiwei's house?"
Upon hearing the sound, Song Zhiwei immediately came out from outside the entrance.
What are you doing here?
Xie Lingling looked at her aloof demeanor and then secretly glanced at Sheng Tingzhou, who was standing in the corner of the living room.
"Zhiwei, Mom just missed you and wanted to come see you, is that not allowed? Your own daughter lives here, and your mother can't even come to visit?"
"You've finished looking at it, you can go now."
Song Zhiwei spoke in a calm tone, reaching out to close the door as she did so.
Xie Lingling reacted quickly, bracing herself against the door and squeezing forward, managing to force her way in.
She pulled back and grabbed Song Zhiwei's wrist.
"President Sheng is still here. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of others. We're just mother and daughter talking, why make things so ugly?"
Sheng Tingzhou spoke at just the right moment.
"Zhiwei, I'm going to the study next door first. Call me if you need anything."
"Um."
Song Zhiwei responded, without turning around or glancing at Xie Lingling again.
After he closed the door and left, his footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Xie Lingling immediately pulled Song Zhiwei toward the sofa in the living room, her actions almost forced.
Song Zhiwei forcefully flung her hand away, leaving a faint red mark on her wrist.
She took a step back, her tone clearly impatient.
"What exactly do you want? What's your purpose in showing up here now?"
