Ji Sui did not mention what happened to the Zhuang family. Such a shameful incident, it was obvious he won't willingly expose his family's scandal, so Zhao Yu didn't deliberately ask him either.

+

A week later, Zhao Yu received an email from the private investigator. The people that Zhuang Yiqing hired to do the beating have not been found yet, but on the other hand, the woman who was beaten, her condition had deteriorated drastically and she died at the hospital. She had an operation beforehand, but they couldn't find out who performed the operation.

 

This should be counted as murder, right?

 

Staring at the email for a while, Zhao Yu suddenly grinned. It was called murder if other person encountered this situation. However, if this occured to Zhuang Yiqing, then it was not a crime.
She as the mastermind behind-the-scenes was innocent, even the people who did the beating could get away with it. As for the family of the deceased, there was still no news regarding the current situation.

 

What a familiar plot.

 

Among them, did Xu Chengyan and Ji Sui took parts in handling those incidents? Or even... Zhuang Ye had his share of the deal too? Although he was abroad, he will definitely sided with his own sister.

At this moment, Zhao Yu instantly felt sick.
Those men of high status who always seemed unattainable were actually just corrupted to their bones.
They only showed concern to the people who were useful to them. The main goal was to protect their own interests at all cost. The so-called fairness and justice did not exist in their eyes.

 

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You've been in daze for awhile now." Wang Qi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her face, "It can't be just as Xia Nan said earlier, that because a certain someone didn't come to work, so you feel uneasy, right?"
Zhao Yu quickly recovered from her trance, smiled and shook her head: "Don't listen to Xia Nan's nonsense, how is it possible?"
The person Wang Qi was referring to was naturally Xue Zi'ang. After he left Xue Zhan's villa that day, he never showed up again. She heard that he was on a long leave. It seemed that what happened that day struck him quite hard.

 

Wang Qi took a slow sip of coffee, she glanced at the closed door of Xue Zhan's office, and then her gaze fell on Zhao Yu's face again: "You and President Xue, is it real or fake? If it is fake, then our boss must be to free so that he can afford playing this kind of game with you? From my understanding of him, he was not this kind of person. But if it's real, looking at your current state, it was likely nothing good happened."

 

Zhao Yu pouted: "Well...who knows?"
It's not that she was acting ignorant towards Wang Qi, but she really didn't even know what was her relationship with Xue Zhan now.
Xue Zi'ang didn't come to the company this whole week, so she and Xue Zhan didn't need to keep acting, they just resumed the normal working relationship between an assistant and the boss.

 

As for the kiss that morning, he didn't mention it, so she treated as if the kiss never happened.
Nowadays she was more cautious when she was in front of him. After all, she couldn't be sure if he was suspicious of her. Not to mention about how much informations he digged out about her.
In the meantime, she could only performs accordingly as usual.

 

Xue Zhan brought several people to join the activity by some industry association, thus he didn't show up in the office all morning. At this moment, only Zhao Yu and Wang Qi were left in the assistant's area, which was convenient for them to chat.
Xia Nan, who went out to run errands, came back not long after, looking excited. As soon as she sat at her station, she raised her eyes and glanced at the CCTV overhead and asked Wang Qi, "That thing is really out of service?"
Wang Qi nodded: "I went to the monitoring room to confirm it. It's broken and I haven't had time to replace it with a new one."

 

 

 

 

"That's good." Xia Nan immediately twisted on the seat regardless of her image, she rolled her chair to Zhao Yu and Wang Qi's side, then took out her mobile phone and said, "Let me show you something..."
Wang Qi smiled wickedly: "Little sister, do you want to drag us to watch movies during work hours?"
"Yeah, but it's not porn, it's a tragic movie, oh wait, it's not right, to be precise, it's not watching, but listening instead." Xia Nan mysteriously opened the recording interface of the phone then looked at Zhao Yu with a more meaningful twist in her eyes, "Listen to this earth-shattering record of misery."

 

After she pressed the play button, a stern female voice came out: "A woman who could be easily swayed away is not worth your effort, if you have the ability, then learn from your uncle, and see what kind of man who was able to make those women willing to follow him. He could took charge of Hua Can because of his own ability. How about you? How did you get this vice president position? If it wasn't because of you are the grandson of Xue's family, what position do you think you could have in Hua Can? Do you think those women can still circle around you like a swarm of flies?"

 

Zhao Yu was stunned for a brief seconds, and subconsciously looked at Wang Qi. They all recognized the voice. It was the general manager of the Hua Enterprise, Xue Zi'ang's mother, Liu Ling.
Wang Qi poked at Xia Nan's arm: "Young people are indeed bold, how dare you secretly record what Mrs. Liu said?"
Xia Nan acted innocently: "It wasn't intentional, I just bumped into them, I couldn't hold back... Now listen more, the next point is the most important."

 

After a pause, it seemed that Liu Ling sighed and asked, "Do you really like that Zhao Yu so much?"
"Like... Of course I like... I love her, I really love her, if I don't marry her, then I won't get married, nobody is allowed to take her away from me, not even Xue Zhan..." This was Xue Zi'ang's voice, but he didn't sounds quite right.

 

Meeting Zhao Yu's doubtful eyes, Xia Nan raised her eyebrows proudly: "He was drunk, I saw him when I went downstairs. He was severely drunk and got really angry with General Manager Liu. As the saying goes, drunk people always tell the truth, you can judge this yourself. Initially there was a paragraph of his affectionate confession to you, unfortunately I wasn't ready at that time so I didn't managed to record it, nevertheless, I was quite moved when I heard that."

 

Wang Qi glared at Xia Nan angrily: "You betrayed us so soon? Previously you agreed to abuse the scumbag."
Xia Nan shrugged: "I just felt that my boss was very miserable right now. Listening to what he said, he's actually sincere towards sister Zhao Yu, therefore...Sister Zhao Yu, can you give him a chance to reconcile with you? I'm still waiting for you to marry into the wealthy family and show me the daily life of the rich ne."

 

Zhao Yu self-deprecatingly laughed: "Don't think too much, ordinary people like me wouldn't dare to have that kind of wishful thoughts."
Honestly she never imagined that Xue Zi'ang could show such sincerity towards her, but now she only cared about whether this sincerity has any benefits to her.

 

When Xue Zhan came back, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. The event was not over yet, Gu Shuyang and the others he brought with him were still remained at the scene, so there were only a few people left at the secretary's station.
Xue Zi'ang was not here, Xia Nan was busy with several jobs, Wang Qi was also ordered by Xue Zhan to handle other things, thus when Liu Ling came to find Xue Zhan, there was only Zhao Yu stationed outside his office.

 

Thanks to this cold-faced female tyrant who never saw her as a future daughter-in-law, Zhao Yu was not too embarrassed when they encountered each other inside the company, she only greeted her with a polite formal smile.
With Liu Ling's authority level, upon entering Xue Zhan's office, she did not require prior appointment nor notification. She directly pushed the door then entered his office, Zhao Yu was going to serve her a cup of tea, but only to find out that the door was not fully closed.

 

For an instant, what Wang Qi said previously flashed in Zhao Yu's mind. The CCTV was broken and had not been replaced yet.
As soon as Xue Zhan came back, Liu Ling rushed up to meet him, she could wildly guess what the two were talking about must have something to do with her.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she checked the surrounding environment. Zhao Yu finally collected the courage to approach the office quietly, standing stealthly by the door and sneakily listened to the movement inside.

 

"We agreed to let her leave the company, why did you refute it?" This was Liu Ling's voice, and this 'she' should be referring to Zhao Yu.
"Do you think driving her away will solve the problem? You knew better than me how was Xue Zi'ang's temper. The more you forbid him to find her, the more anxious he becomes, the more worried he will be. Just let her stay by his side. After quite some times, he will naturally get tired of her." Xue Zhan's tone was flat and indifferent, without any emotion.

 

"Then was he tired of her now? He was so drunk last night that he started to fight with other people, I only got him back this morning. Did you know that he almost went to the hospital several times in the past few days? Xue Zhan, you tell me the truth, did you keep Zhao Yu in the company for Zi'ang, or for yourself? Could it be that you really fancy that woman?"
"What kind of woman I liked, it seems that it has nothing to do with sister-in-law."
"Yes, I knew it has nothing to do with me. How can I, an outsider, is qualified to take care of your business? But take a look at who has took your fancy, why do you insist on snatching Zi'ang's woman? He is your own nephew and the only son of your eldest brother. Don't you forget how your big brother died..."

 

"General Manager Liu." Before Liu Ling could finish her sentence, Xue Zhan interrupted with a cold voice that Zhao Yu had never heard before.
For a while, the office fell into a short silence, finally she heard Liu Ling sighed: "Yes, everything was my fault, I shouldn't let you share the responsibility with me, you were originally innocent, it was me who shamelessly seduced you, it was all me... But Xue Zhan, Zi'ang is your eldest brother's only son, for the sake of your blood relations and for the family..."
"I understand." Xue Zhan's voice was a bit less sharp than before, sounded a little bit tired, "I never wanted to hurt him. But he was spoiled by you, he didn't have the courage to take on the responsibility, and he'll never able to take over the company. If you really want anything good for him, don't condone his nonsense all day long. Also, as for Zhao Yu, she may not be a good person, so you don't need to worry just because of Zi'ang's few affectionate words. Naturally, I have my own calculation."

Hearing those last sentences, Zhao Yu was shocked.
Xue Zhan has been doubting her from the beginning.
