Yun Shu was driven away, Shen Quan sent her to the iron gate, he looked at her helplessly, “I reminded you that you’d better not know what you don’t know. If you offend Ah Zheng, he may be too lazy to care about you, but you went to see Sister Jiang Nian.”

Jiang Nian is Xiao Zheng’s reverse scale and cannot be touched.

Shen Quan’s expression was a bit indescribable, and he shook his head depressingly: “You go, Ah Zheng is very angry, you’d better not appear in front of him.”

Yun Shu was in a trance, she never thought that the conversation between herself and Jiang Nian would be heard by Xiao Zhen. Even when all she did was appear in front of Jiang Nian, Xiao Zheng became angry, now that she said those words…

“Thank you, please say sorry for me to Ah Zheng, I didn’t have any other intentions. I’ll go back first.”

“Okay.”

Yun Shu came in a car, and at this moment she could only drag herself with heavy steps. For Shen Quan’s birthday party, she took a day off, and she didn’t want to go back to school at the moment, so she took the bus to the hospital to see her mother. She wanted to find someone to talk to and to be comforted, she just didn’t want Xiao Zheng to go astray…

But when she got to the hospital, she was faced with an empty ward, and her mother was nowhere to be found. Everything on the cupboard was gone, and two nurses were making the bed.

She was shocked: “Where is my mother? Why is my mother gone!”

The nurse was stunned by her yelling and froze: “Family member, don’t be excited, the patient is fine, just transferred to the general ward…”

“Why suddenly…? Yun Shu paused, then suddenly understood. She turned around and ran out. Sure enough, she saw her mother lying on the bed in a six-person ward. A very familiar man stood beside the bed, he was Xiao Zheng’s assistant.

When the assistant saw Yun Shu, he finished talking to Yun Shu’s mother and went out. Yun Shu followed behind him and asked eagerly, “Is that what Ah Zheng meant?”

The assistant pushed his glasses and gave Yun Shu the bill for this period: “You violated the contract you previously signed, and President Xiao has the right to stop helping you.”

Yun Shu bit her lip and said, “Can you help me and Ah Zheng? Can you make a phone call to him? I want to explain it to him personally.”

The assistant shook his head: “During this time, your mother’s medical expenses, VIP ward nursing expenses, and the fees of the expert team specially invited from abroad… The total spending sums up to more than 4 million yuan, and you also got a sum of money every month. Yun Shu, President Xiao treated you well, you will be responsible for your mother’s expenses in the future.”

Yun Shu’s legs went limp and she leaned against the wall, her expression dazed: “I thought…”

She thought Xiao Zheng was a good person, that he threatened her were because he was angry, and that when his anger was over, he wouldn’t be cruel to her after all.

But she was wrong, he had no heart for her at all!

The assistant had been away for a while, and Yun Shu returned to the ward with the bill. There were about seven or eight people in the ward, making noise, calling, playing with mobile phones, chatting… There was still an unpleasant smell in the toilet. The chairs are even more outdated. It was obviously a place she was used to, but because she stayed in the VIP ward for a while, she couldn’t accept it at the moment. The environment there is very good, the air is fresh, there is special care, and it is not so noisy, it is very suitable for recuperation…

Her mother is looking at her anxiously at the moment: “Shushu, you and your boyfriend broke up?”

Yun Shu was stunned, then slumped and cried with her face pressing against the bed.

What breakup? Xiao Zheng never belonged to her, it was her who was not self-respecting and wanted too much.



Xiao Zheng was also not feeling well.

He followed Jiang Nian cautiously for a long time. He followed Jiang Nian wherever she went, like a not-so-little tail, but he didn’t say anything and just lowered his head grievously. Such a tall and straight person, at this moment, looked wronged and lost, the scene looked as if Jiang Nian had bullied him.

A lot of people attended Shen Quan’s birthday party, and most of them saw the two’s behavior, which made them stunned, amazed and surprised.

Jiang Nian rolled her eyes: “How long are you going to follow me?”

Xiao Zheng looked at her and answered, “I’m reflecting.”

“Hm.”

“I shouldn’t just find a random woman to come back and lie to grandma.”

“Hm.”

“I don’t want to listen to my grandma’s words to go on a blind date, but I can’t persuade her. If I don’t go to my grandmother, she will make a scene again. I could only do this, I wanted to appease her first.”

“Hm.”

“I was wrong. ”

“Hm.”

“Really!”

“Hm.”

“…”

He looked at Jiang Nian secretly, and couldn’t understand she Jiang Nian was happy or angry at the moment. What he was most afraid of was when Jiang Nian didn’t speak, her being too quiet made him feel so far away from her.

“Sister-in-law, are you angry?”

“No.”

“Then can you help me keep it a secret? Don’t tell grandma about Yun Shu.”

Jiang Nian paused and turned to look at Xiao Zheng. She crossed her arms over her chest and frowned, with a hint of scrutiny. Xiao Zheng smiled at her flatteringly, tugged at her sleeve and said, “I don’t want to get married yet. If grandma finds out, she will definitely force me to go on a blind date.”

Jiang Nian swat his hand away: “You think it’s all right if I don’t tell her? How long can you hide it?”

Xiao Zheng rubbed the back of his hand that was slapped in pain: “…If I can hide it for a day, I would.”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly walked behind her again, not daring to take a single step forward, and followed her around in circles, just like when he was a teenager, reliant and respectful.

Jiang Nian couldn’t understand, why Xiao Zheng still liked her?

When Yun Shu inexplicably reminded her to pay attention to her identity several times, she felt a little strange – no matter what she said, she was Xiao Zheng’s sister-in-law. Yun Shu wanted to be good with Xiao Zheng, so it was impossible for him to say that for no reason. Later, when Xiao Zheng said that he and Yun Shu were just acting, and Yun Shu suddenly targeted her, Jiang Nian had some vague guesses in her heart.

Why was Xiao Zheng fond of the original Jiang Nian in the past life? But she really regarded Xiao Zheng as a little kid in this life. In order to protect the big gold, she was very strict with him and had high requirements, even teaching him severely. She hadn’t worked so hard before… No, teaching children is the responsibility of both the father and the mother, she can be considered a single parent, so it should be more difficult.

… The point is that Xiao Zheng actually has other thoughts about her? Although Xiao Zheng is the male protagonist, she really can’t think about “eating” the little brat she taught.

But Xiao Zheng really did a good job of concealing it. He didn’t even look at her once, and he didn’t dare to touch her fingers. When he called her sister-in-law, he was respectful and serious. He even brought Yun Shu back…

Jiang Nian wiped her face. Could it be that she is going to take the deep route of sadomasochism in this life? She looked back at Xiao Zheng, who was watching her face carefully, and silently retracted her gaze. Forget it, a brat is a brat after all, she should focus on the revenge route, the big gold is the real business!

Besides, Xiao Zheng didn’t mean anything else. He obviously wanted to be a good baby, and it was useless to think about it.



Xiao Zheng did escape the old lady’s urging of marriage, but Jiang Nian did not. On the second day of Shen Quan’s birthday party, the old lady gave Jiang Nian a photo of a man about thirty seven or thirty eight years old, wearing a suit and with a warm temperament. She said that he was a university professor, and that she had met him several times, and he was not bad. If you are interested, can you meet?

Jiang Nian looked at the photo very seriously. The man had a warm and honest face. Of course, this is not the point…

When the old lady said this, she did not deliberately avoid Xiao Zheng who was sitting at the dinner table with them. He looked up at Jiang Nian, then lowered his head and took a mouthful of porridge. The hot millet porridge went into his mouth, burning his tongue so much it became numb. Xiao Zheng coughed after realizing it, lowered his head, then drank a whole bowl of millet porridge without changing his face.

The old lady didn’t notice Xiao Zheng’s strangeness, and asked Jiang Nian, “What do you think?”

Jiang Nian shook her head, “Not very good. This gentleman looks high-minded, so I may not be a good match for him.”

The old lady was puzzled: “Why not fit, I think it’s good?”

Jiang Nian replied, “Because what I see in my eyes are money and fame, and what he sees in his eyes are books and ink, and the gap between concepts is too great for us to be suitable.”

“… Ah?”

“So let’s forget it.” This person didn’t have a single shining point on his body, she couldn’t see it, so plain she couldn’t bear to look at him, and he couldn’t attract her attention at all. Her wealth and life naturally need to be glittering!

“Niannian, it’s just that you have different occupations. It’s normal for you to have a gap regarding points of view. As for whether you can get along with each other, you will only know after you get in touch.”

The old lady concluded, “Tomorrow is the weekend, you two will meet first, and find out if you get along.”

Jiang Nian shrugged, she’ll go, maybe it will bring a glorious addition to her wealth and life.

Ever since he knew that Jiang Nian was going to go on a blind date, Xiao Zheng’s mood had plummeted. He was in a bad mood all day long and always had to find someone to vent at, so Yang Hai became the venting tool, and things became increasingly hard for him. Yang Hai knew that Xiao Zheng was deliberately targeting him, and he couldn’t bear it. He called Jiang Tao several times, and the other promised to help. Who knows if he actually helped him?

Yang Hai finally found Guo Xiuyu again and asked if the matter between her and Jiang Nian was resolved?

What else could it be? The gifts that were given were worth nearly 10 million, but Jiang Nian still did not utter a word of forgiving! Where is the Jiang Nian she locked up at home, dying of hunger and begging her to let her go!

She was inevitably impatient, and her tone was not very good: “You all asked me to beg Jiang Nian. If you want to be strong, go to Jiang Nian yourself! Why didn’t you voice any objections before, and now that something happened, you blame me and put the pot on my head?”

Yang Hai replied: “My company is now being suppressed by Xiao Zheng, the contracts we negotiated before are all gone, the next project plan has not been discussed for more than a month, and the money I invested before has not been recovered. The land is obtained, but the funds needed in the later stage will not be less. If you want to make money, you will have to keep pouring money for least two years! If you don’t work harder, we will be bankrupt sooner or later!”

“Can you blame me? Xiao Zheng did it on purpose, you should go to Xiao Zheng!”

“If I can see Xiao Zheng, I will come to you? Forget it, let’s meet first and have a good discussion, this Jiang Nian won’t stop killing me!”

Because Guo Xiuyu was afraid of being caught, she would not easily meet Yang Hai alone. This time, she was too impatient and felt that she should have a good discussion on how to deal with Jiang Nian. Now that Jiang Nian is so scheming, and has the intention of returning to Jiang’s house, what should she do if he takes away her son’s property?

Guo Xiuyu thus agreed: “Find another safe place and don’t be discovered.”

“I know.”



On the weekend, Xiao Zheng went out early in the morning on the pretext that something was up, and the old lady looked at Xiao Zheng suspiciously. After several glances, he shot her a puzzled look and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

The old lady said, “The work is important, but you should also pay attention to rest.”

Xiao Zheng hummed: “Then I’ll go first.”

The old lady took Xiao Zheng to the door and watched him get in the car and leave.

Jiang Nian also came down after a while. For today’s blind date, she was specially dressed up. She wore a long plain dress, with lots of gold and silver jewelry, and a Hongjia limited edition handbag in her hand. When she gracefully came downstairs, the old lady was almost blinded. Jiang Nian turned around confidently: “Does it look good?”

“Good-looking…” It is good-looking, but isn’t it too extravagant?

The old lady finally understood Jiang Nian’s words before, is the gap between money and fame and books and ink really that big?



The assistant couldn’t understand the brain circuits of his boss. Today is the weekend, but he called him nevertheless. It’s okay to call him, but he didn’t say anything afterward, and the two sat on the street for three hours! He just sits there stupidly, and doesn’t talk or do anything. As an assistant, his professional ethics don’t allow him to secretly play with his mobile phone. After sitting for a whole morning, he feels like he is going to become a Buddha…

Until ten o’clock, he sat stupidly. After a morning of Xiao Zheng’s strange behavior, the assistant finally understood why Xiao Zheng was so abnormal. He actually came to peek at Jiang Nian’s date with someone else!

The assistant swallowed, so should he act like he doesn’t know anything now, or should he act like he doesn’t know anything?

Xiao Zheng knew that this day would come, but when he really saw Jiang Nian chatting happily with other men, he still found it difficult to accept. But it was nothing at all, she would meet other men in the future and marry, she may also leave the Xiao family, she will belong to someone else completely, and it will be extremely difficult for him to even see her once.

He leaned his head back on the back seat of the car, covered his eyes with the back of his hands, breathed slightly, and was silent for a long time, before finally pulling the corners of his mouth into a wry smile.

In fact, what he was afraid of was never the interference of his grandmother. What he was afraid of was Jiang Nian. He was afraid of Jiang Nian’s rejection and the strange glances that would be on her, and that she would be criticized.

She is so good and deserves the best.

But he was not reconciled.

He was almost unable to suppress the beast in his heart and wanted to monopolize her.
