She pretended not to see the confusion in Cheng Zitong's eyes, got up naturally and walked to the bathroom.
She understood that the more natural she was, the less likely he would be suspicious.
At most, he thought that she was just estranged from him because she still complained about him.
After washing, she came out of the bathroom and happened to hear him talking on the phone at the window.
"...I haven't decided on the lowest price yet... Please tell him not to worry..."
She heard some fragments of words and couldn't help but hesitate in her steps, but immediately she walked into the cloakroom as if nothing had happened.
He quickly put down the phone and walked into the cloakroom.
His tall figure came behind her, and all the heat from his breath sprayed on the back of her head. Then, he stretched out an arm...
She held her breath as he surrounded her, thinking about how she should deal with it so as not to arouse his suspicion if he forced himself on her like he did before.
However, he did not do anything more extreme, but just took out a light purple dress from the closet.
"Accompany me to attend a dinner party tonight." He handed the dress to her hand.
He had people bring all the dress-style dresses in his wardrobe for emergencies.
Although it was strange why he wanted to take her to the dinner at this moment, but at this moment, she only needed to nod and agree to this request.
So, she nodded.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, "It would be great if you were always so obedient."
There was hope in his eyes.
Do you want her to be so obedient so that she can be at his mercy?
After saying that, he seemed to feel that his expectations were impossible and took the initiative to let go.
His leaving figure carried a trace of loneliness...
No, this is impossible, it is just her illusion.
In the afternoon, she went directly from the newspaper office to the dinner venue, and her assistant Koizumi came to pick her up.
"Mr. Cheng has been very busy recently." On the way to the dinner, she certainly would not miss the opportunity to make insinuating remarks.
"Mr. Cheng is very busy all the time," Xiaoquan replied: "I often don't eat on time. I work overtime until late at night, so I sleep in the office for one night. I have no energy the next day, so I eat coffee."
Fu Yuan'er:......
Her questions could easily cause her subordinates to feel sorry for their boss, thus causing him to complain a lot.
She turned her beautiful eyes and followed his words: "In this case, you can persuade Mr. Cheng to buy less companies, and he will be less busy."
Xiaoquan shook his head, "It would be too difficult for you to ask Mr. Cheng not to acquire the company! If Mr. Cheng puts away the company, that would be called true disownment."
Disowning her relatives... Fu Yuan'er felt sad for a moment, and her face suddenly turned ugly.
Xiaoquan seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and began to calmly come back, "One time, Mr. Cheng took a fancy to a company that Mr. Old Cheng was interested in, and he took over the company in just two days, without giving anything to Old Cheng.
Total face.”
The old Mr. Cheng he was talking about was Cheng Zitong's biological father.
Fu Yuan'er had also come to her senses and smiled calmly: "According to what you said, today's dinner is actually Mr. Cheng's preparation for work."
Xiaoquan shook his head: "I don't know about this. Some of Mr. Cheng's dinners are very high-end, and no one knows about them.
He went on to say: "I heard Mr. Cheng mention this morning that today seems to be the birthday of one of his friends."
I guess the guests at this dinner are all friends.
It turned out to be a private party.
The dinner was held in a glass house in the back garden of a hotel. A buffet table was also placed on the lawn outside the house. Guests came and went, making it very lively.
Fu Yuan'er originally thought
Because the inside and outside are together, but upon closer inspection, none of the guests inside went out, and none of the guests outside came in. It turned out that there were two banquets held at the same time.
It is summer at this time, and the evening breeze is blowing outdoors, which is also very cool.
She followed Cheng Zitong and kept greeting the guests at the dinner. She didn't know any of these guests, and they were all talking about business matters. She was really bored.
So he glanced outside subconsciously.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure among the many figures, who turned out to be the person in charge of Blue Fish Company.
Is this a coincidence?
The person in charge of Blue Fish Company and Cheng Zitong attended both internal and external dinner parties.
We both live in city A and are in the same circle, so it wouldn't be surprising if we bump into each other.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Zitong suddenly approached her and asked.
She was startled and her thoughts were spinning rapidly. If she kept secretive at this time, would it arouse Cheng Zitong's suspicion?
It would be better for her to tell the truth directly and take the initiative instead.
"I saw the head of Blue Fish," she said.
"The company you and Ji Senzhuo want to acquire." His tone instantly became cold.
She pretended not to hear it and continued: "You are wrong. It was my aunt who wanted to invite me to cooperate, but now someone is competing with us."
"Who?" he asked.
She sneered in her heart: "I don't know."
While he was talking, someone came up to say hello to Cheng Zitong.
Cheng Zitong turned around and went to chat with someone, while Fu Yuan'er's eyes were still on the person in charge of Blue Fish Company.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared next to the person in charge.
Ji Senzhuo!
It seemed that he came specifically to find the person in charge. He should already know that someone was competing with them.
But he shouldn't be here, he should be resting in the hospital or at home.
"I'm going to the bathroom." She found an excuse and left temporarily.
After leaving the glass house, she came to the corner of the garden. She originally took out her phone and wanted to call Ji Senzhuo... She suddenly thought of Ziyin's ability. As long as she knew the other party's mobile phone number, she could determine the location.
So it is not impossible to know what she and Ji Sendhuo said.
So she put away her phone, took a dimly lit path, and walked in the direction of Ji Senzhuo.
As if she sensed something, she came to the edge of the venue. Ji Senzhuo suddenly raised his head and looked this way.
The two looked at each other, and she pursed her lips at him.
He understood immediately and went around in another direction until he came to a secluded part of the garden.
Fu Yuan'er is already waiting for him here.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two of them asked this question at the same time.
"Cheng Zi and I are here for the dinner together," she glanced at the glass house, "You are here to see the person in charge of Blue Fish Company, right? You already know that someone is robbing us?"
Ji Senzhuo nodded slightly.
Fu Yuan'er pursed her lips: "Auntie shouldn't have told you."
"Yuan'er, do you treat me as a patient?"
if not?
Ji Senzhuo disagreed: "Although I need to recuperate, it doesn't mean that I can't do anything. For example, the person in charge of Blue Fish Company, Da Fei, is my college classmate."
Fu Yuan'er was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that he could meet such an acquaintance.
But what about college classmates? In society, what everyone cares about is interests.
She could tell from his expression that his classmate didn't tell him that the opponent she was competing with for the acquisition was Cheng Zitong.
"Ji Sendhuo, if I ask you to leave this matter alone, will you agree?" she asked.
Ji Senzhuo looked surprised: "Why?"
What she was worried about was that if he was involved, sooner or later he and Cheng Zitong would be at odds with each other.
Not only is this not good for his health, it also makes things too complicated.
But she couldn't say these words to him.
"Because I want to resolve this matter myself." was all she could say.
Ji Senzhuo looked at her. In the blurry light, her eyes flickered on and off.
She seems to be determined to accomplish something, but also seems to be in a conflict and sadness.
There was a burst of deep self-blame in his heart, "Yuan'er, I'm sorry... If I could come back earlier..."
If he could accept her feelings before Cheng Zitong broke into her life...
"It doesn't matter," she curled her lips slightly, "some sections of the train track look curved, but the train is always moving forward."
Her life will not come to a standstill just because of Cheng Zitong's accident.
"Fu Yuan'er..." Cheng Zitong's soft call suddenly came from not far away.
Oops!
He must have found her because she never came back.
She didn't want him to see her and Ji Sendhuo together, but now no matter which way they walked, he would see them.
She had an idea, grabbed Ji Senzhuo's arm and hid in the nearby bushes.
This is a row of tea trees about two people high. The tea trees have lush leaves and flowers are in full bloom. Not only is it difficult to be discovered by people hiding behind them, but they can also observe the scene outside through the gaps between the leaves.
Ji Senzhuo didn't understand why he wanted to hide, but Fu Yuan'er asked him to hide, so he did.
As expected, Cheng Zitong walked this way. He looked around as he walked and made sure there was no one here, so he went to the front to look for it.
Fu Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why didn't he call you when he was looking for you?" Ji Senzhuo said suddenly.
Fu Yuan'er was slightly stunned, this did seem a bit strange.
But I can't control that much now.
"I'm going back to the venue first," she said as she prepared to leave, not forgetting to remind him before leaving, "Don't forget what I asked you to do."
Ji Senzhuo nodded.
"Fu Yuan'er, what do you want to ask Mr. Ji to do in such a secret place?" Cheng Zitong's voice seemed to fall from the sky, falling behind the two of them.
Fu Yuan'er was startled, and she was unprepared for his counterattack...
Ji Sendhuo frowned. He was very unhappy that Cheng Zitong spoke to Fu Yuan'er in such a cold tone.
He subconsciously protected Fu Yuan'er behind him and faced Cheng Zitong alone: "Mr. Cheng, please speak politely to Yuan'er."
Cheng Zitong sneered: "No one else seems to be able to control how I talk to my wife."
"The legal status of Yuan'er and you doesn't mean anything!" Ji Senzhuo didn't care. "If you treat Yuan'er badly, I have the right to take charge of it."
While the two were bickering, Fu Yuan'er quickly thought of countermeasures. The most important thing now was not to let Cheng Zitong doubt her, otherwise she would not be able to get his base price.
"Ji Senzhuo, thank you for protecting me," she immediately jumped out and walked to Cheng Zitong, holding his hand. "It was my fault for running out without telling Cheng Zitong clearly."
"Yuan'er..." Cheng Zitong hesitated, but he also saw something.
"Don't be angry," she turned to coax Cheng Zitong, her tone as gentle as possible, "I just bumped into Ji Sendhuo by chance and chatted for a few words. Let's go back."
However, Cheng Zitong shook off her hand and walked forward alone.
