Zhen Zhu looked up at Tang Bochuan and her heart skipped a beat.

Although Tang Bochuan was a man of few words, he seemed to be kind to her. Compared to Shen Hanyu, he should be much easier to deal with.

Zhen Zhu took the tissue and wiped her mouth slowly. “Can you pour me another glass of water? Sorry for the trouble, Brother Bochuan.”

Tang Bochuan had already picked up a cup to pour some water when he heard the first part of her sentence.

When he heard the last sentence, his hand shook so hard that the water was spilled.

Zhen Zhu looked at his stiff expression and found it funny. “What’s wrong? Didn’t I call you that when you were young?”

Tang Bochuan said calmly, “Don’t call me that, Miss. I can’t accept it.”

“What’s there to be sorry about? There’s nothing wrong with me calling you Brother.”

Zhen Zhu drank some water and said, “If I recall, you used to live in my house, but you went home after a few days and never came back again.”

She sighed softly. “Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.”

Tang Bochuan remained silent.

Zhen Zhu looked up at Tang Bochuan. “Brother Bochuan, do you still remember the first time we met?”

Of course, Tang Bochuan remembered.

That was the first time he went to the Zhen family with his parents, and it was similar to Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Gardens.

He lost his way in the garden and saw a fair and delicate girl holding a net bag, playing with butterflies in the flowers, and a few snow-white cats beside her.

She chased after the butterfly, and the cat chased after her. There was a cat that jumped into the net to catch the butterfly, and the girl giggled.

Seeing him from afar, she ran over and curiously asked who he was.

The servant beside her told her his identity and name, and she called him ’Brother Bochuan’ in a crisp voice. She took his hand and invited him to play with her.

He stayed at the Zhen family’s residence for a while, and the girl often came to play with him. A month later, he was taken home.

A few years later, the two of them met again at her mother’s funeral.

She was dressed in a cold and solemn black dress, and there was a small white flower in her braid. Her eyes were red, and there was a heavy sadness between her brows.

After that, Tang Bochuan applied to a university abroad. During that time, he heard a lot of rumors about the girl’s rebellion from his family.

After he returned to the country, he joined the Zhen Group. With his own abilities, he was recognized by Zhen Yiping, and his position was quickly promoted.

On the other hand, he did not expect to see Zhen Zhu at the company’s department meeting.

She called him President Tang, cold and polite.

Tang Bochuan almost did not recognize her. Her palm-sized face was covered in thick makeup, which completely covered her original appearance. She was dressed in branded goods and was fashionably dressed. She even looked flirtatious.

The manager had a headache because of this. When he came to report to him, he complained a lot.

Zhen Zhu didn’t put much effort into her work, and not long after, a common mistake caused the company to suffer huge losses. Zhen Yiping was furious, and Zhen Zhu resigned.

He met Zhen Zhu again at Zhen Yiping’s 50th birthday banquet not long later.

Tang Bochuan saw with his own eyes that she had gone crazy. She grabbed a Jade Ruyi and hit a female guest until her face was covered in blood. However, there was no pity in her eyes. She was cruel and crazy.

Zhen Yiping rebuked her angrily, and she retorted with no manners, her attitude extremely bad.

It was to the point where Zhen Yiping was so angry that he said he didn’t want to acknowledge her as his daughter anymore.

She actually didn’t care at all as she turned around and left. After that, she became more and more indulgent, and she challenged Zhen Yiping’s bottom line without any restraint.

From that moment on, Tang Bochuan realized that this Zhen Zhu was no longer the lively and enthusiastic little girl in his memories.

The rebellion of growing up and the marks of life had long turned her into a completely different person. She was pitiful, hateful, and vengeful.

“Tang Bochuan, what are you doing? I’m asking you a question.”

Zhen Zhu urged, “Do you still remember the first time we met?”

Tang Bochuan retracted his thoughts and lowered his eyes. “I don’t remember.”

“It seems like my memory is better than yours. I remember it clearly.”

Zhen Zhu said smugly, “I was catching butterflies in the garden and happened to meet you. At that time, you even caught a few butterflies for me and made them into specimens for me.”

She seemed a little regretful. “Alas, I accidentally broke the specimen. What a pity.”

“It’s just a few specimens. There’s nothing to feel bad about,” Tang Bochuan replied.

“But you caught the butterfly for me.”

“It’s been so many years,” Zhen Zhu said faintly. “Many things have changed, but you haven’t changed, Brother Bochuan.”

Tang Bochuan’s eyelids twitched. “Why do you say so?”

“You’ve always been good to me.”

Zhen Zhu pretended to be very grateful. “Back in the company, Brother Bochuan took care of me behind my back. Ultimately, I got into trouble and resigned in a fit of anger. You must’ve been very disappointed, right?”

“It’s not that bad. I treat all my employees the same. I don’t remember taking extra care of Young Miss.”

“President Zhen should be the one most disappointed with Miss’s resignation,” Tang Bochuan said, leaving no room for error.

Zhen Zhu was a little annoyed. She wanted to get closer to Tang Bochuan, but he just didn’t take the bait.

She rolled her eyes. “Anyway, I think Brother Bochuan is really good to me, much better than that Shen Hanyu. At least, Brother Bochuan would be worried if I was injured. That Shen Hanyu is completely inhumane.”

“Young Miss is overthinking.”

“It’s understandable that I’d worry about Young Miss since President Zhen and President Shen handed Young Miss over to me,” Tang Bochuan said without a change in his expression. “After all, if anything happens to Young Miss, I’ll be the first one to take responsibility.”

He had already cleared the plates and was ready to go out. “It’s getting late, Young Miss should rest early.”

Zhen Zhu was so angry that she wanted to drop the cup in her hand.

She suppressed her anger and said, “Shen Hanyu said that I’ll move to another place if I continue to make a scene. Where?”

“I can’t tell you where it is for now.”

Tang Bochuan glanced at her. “But Young Miss, you can see that President Shen won’t give in just because you hurt yourself. It’s best if Young Miss doesn’t mess around and try to go out. Learn and memorize those materials as soon as possible, otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering.”

Zhen Zhu gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke.

She refused to believe this. She had to get out of this place no matter what!
