“Who is Qin Jingxiang?” Song Zhizhi put down his chopsticks directly.
Ji Baijian put his down too.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and said, “A person.”
“Pfft.” Yin Qin burst out laughing again.
Ji Baili couldn’t take it anymore, “Brother Yin Qin, if you keep spitting out your food like this, we’ll only have Luo Xiaolang’s vegetarian dishes left to eat.” Busy wiping his lips, Yin Qin apologized, “Sorry sorry, I couldn’t help myself.”
He called the waiter over to clean up again.
“Come with me.” Song Zhizhi got up, pulling Ji Baijian to the side.
Watching their retreating figures, Yin Qin couldn’t help but shout out, “Don’t go, how can such a dramatic scene miss an audience!”
Ji Baili stared straight at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin felt a bit uncomfortable under the gaze, “Am I too handsome?” “Bro, you’re really too nosy. No wonder my sister doesn’t like you.”
“Eat your food, kid!” Yin Qin was discontented.
“All the food has been sprayed over by you, what’s left to eat.” Ji Baili stood up from the dining table, “I’ve been tired all day, I’m going to go upstairs to the hotel room to rest for a bit.”
“Go, go.” Yin Qin waved him away.
Better to save himself from being argued with here.
Ji Baili, on his way out, suddenly paused, “Want to rest a bit?”
He noticed that Xin Zaozao had already put down her chopsticks.
It seemed like she didn’t eat much.
Xin Zaozao looked up at Ji Baili, then nodded slightly, “Yes.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you.”
“Thank you.”
Ji Baili and Xin Zaozao left together.
Xin Zaozao was actually somewhat uncomfortable interacting with strangers. At Xin Group she had to grit her teeth and face it, even though she despised the underhanded scheming in the business world. But in private, she’d never initiate a conversation with a stranger if she could avoid it.
She followed behind Ji Baili.
The two of them got into the elevator together.
Just as they were about to close the elevator doors, a woman in the distance called out urgently, “Please, wait for a moment.”
The hotel assigned dedicated staff to operate the elevators.
The staff quickly pressed the button, apologized to Xin Zaozao and Ji Baili with a smile, and then said to the approaching woman, “Madam, sir, please come in. ”
“Thank you.” Wan Quan answered.
Mu Cidian also gave a slight nod in return.
High society people value basic etiquette above all else.
So in public, everyone puts on a refined and elegant demeanor.
The two walked into the elevator.
The moment they stepped in, the expression on Wan Quants face changed. Mu Cidian naturally saw Xin Zaozao too and glanced at Ji Baili on the side.
Ji Baili wasn’t a very friendly person either.
So at that moment, nobody initiated a greeting.
Only until the elevator reached the VIP floor of the hotel.
Wan Quan and Mu Cidian got off first.
Followed by Ji Baili and Xin Zaozao.
Everyone walked down the hallway.
All rooms were offered free of charge to guests who came for the wedding. So as long as a room wasn’t occupied, anyone could use it to rest. “Xin Zaozao.” Wan Quan suddenly called out Xin Zaozao’s name.
Xin Zaozao ignored her.
She didn’t even stop walking at that moment.
“Xin Zaozao, are you getting too big for your boots again?” Wan Quan seemed unable to maintain her rich lady’s image when talking to Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao still didn’t respond.
“Thinking that by clinging onto Song Zhizhi you can rise to the top? Dream on!” Wan Quan raged behind Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao didn’t want to quarrel with Wan Quan in front of others. Wan Quan had no shame, but she did.
She kept walking forward.
Perhaps she was a bit hurried, her high heel suddenly twisted.
She almost tripped over.
In that moment, Mu Cidian instinctively wanted to step in.
Ji Baili quickly stopped Xin Zaozao from his side, his voice somewhat low, “Are you alright?”
“Thank you.” Xin Zaozao gave him a smile.
Ji Baili let go of her.
Xin Zaozao also kept her distance from him.
Mu Cidian just watched their interaction.
“Ji Baili.” Wan Quan, observing their interaction, called Ji Baili by name, “Don’t blame me for not warning you, Xin Zaozao is quite scandalous.”
Ji Baili hadn’t planned to meddle in this.
That Xin Zaozao didn’t get along with Wan Quan was well-known amongst high society.
As a man, he always tried to steer clear of women’s affairs, he wasn’t the nosy type.
But in that moment, he couldn’t help himself.
Just as he was about to turn away.
Xin Zaozao suddenly grabbed his hand.
Ji Baili looked at her.
Xin Zaozao said, “I’m used to it.”
Jl Balli pursea ms mps.
“Let’s go.” Xin Zaozao tugged at Ji Baili.
They left hand in hand.
“Xin Zaozao, you sure are capable! You can climb into any man’s bed!” Wan Quan continued to curse from behind them.
Mu Cidian pulled his mother back, “Enough. Family disgrace should not be aired in the open. Can’t you restrain yourself in public?”
“Family disgrace?” Wan Quan sneered, “Is Xin Zaozao family? She is merely a
Mu Cidian looked at his mother.
“Why are you looking at me like that! Am I not speaking the truth? It’s only been a few days, and Xin Zaozao has hooked up with Ji Baili! Let me tell you Mu Cidian, don’t let Xin Zaozao lure you with her seductive ways. If you have any lingering ties with Xin Zaozao, I would die just to prove a point. I mean what I say!” Wan Quan shouted.
At this moment, she was enraged beyond belief.
Thinking about how long it has been, and yet Xin Zaozao not only remained in Xin Group but her position was increasingly consolidated.
With no outlet, her anger was freely spilling over.
She turned to Mu Cidian and spat, “Didn’t you say Zheng Feng suddenly switched sides? Suddenly standing by Xin Zaozao’s side. I have thought it over, Xin Zaozao must have seduced Zheng Feng, she must have climbed into Zheng Feng’s bed, that’s why this happened. Xin Zaozao, that woman, there’s nothing she wouldn’t do… Mu Cidian, where are you going?!”
Wan Quan watched as Mu Cidian suddenly turned and walked away, shouting after him.
Mu Cidian didn’t slow down.
He walked quickly, deeper into the hallway.
Upon turning a corner.
Mu Cidian pulled Xin Zaozao, who was about to enter her room, towards him.
At that moment, Ji Baili was still at her door.
Xin Zaozao’s face paled.
Ji Baili started to move forward. Xin Zaozao loudly said, “Ji Baili, don’t worry about me!”
Ji Baili’s gaze flickered slightly.
Mu Cidian forcefully pulled Xin Zaozao into the room, slamming the door shut and locking it from the inside.
Ji Baili, standing outside the door, stared straight ahead in the direction of the room.
He had never had any prior interactions with Xin Zaozao. He had occasionally seen news about her, but he never thought about what her life was really like. He always thought that even if her stepmother was terrible, she would only dare to badmouth her like his own mother, and only behind her back. In front of his big brother, his mother wouldn’t dare to utter a single inappropriate word and would even try to curry favor.
His gaze became sharper.
It seemed that the wicked stepmothers from fairy tales did indeed exist.
Inside the room at that moment.
Xin Zaozao watched Mu Cidian, his face dark and his veins bulging.
Xin Zaozao hadn’t brought Nie Feng with her that day.
Because it was Song Zhizhi’s wedding, because there would be many people, and because she always felt that having someone by her side would be inconvenient, Xin Zaozao left Nie Feng at home to wait for her.
She thought that in public, Wan Quan at least wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.
Maybe it would be like just now, a few harsh words would suffice.
She wouldn’t lose a pound of flesh.
Even if Nie Feng was with her, she would still be subjected to verbal abuse. So why bother?
But she hadn’t expected Mu Cidian to lose his rationality over his mother.
She could only stare at Mu Cidian, seeing the veins in his neck popping!
She didn’t want Ji Baili to get unnecessarily involved in her private affairs. More accurately, she didn’t want to cause trouble for anyone. She asked, “What do you want?”
“Did you get involved with Ji Baili?” Mu Cidian asked. Xin Zaozao’s eyes flickered, “None of your business!”
“Xin Zaozao!”
“Do as you wish.” Xin Zaozao turned around and walked directly into the guest room.
Inside the spacious high-end guest room, there was an exceptionally comfortable large bed.
Xin Zaozao had risen early that day, she had been busy the entire morning, and she was tired.
So, at that moment, she collapsed onto the bed and closed her eyes.
She could feel Mu Cidian’s gaze fixed firmly on her.
Then…
She felt Mu Cidian approaching.
She still didn’t open her eyes.
Mu Cidian said, “Do you not care anymore?”
Xin Zaozao did not know what Mu Cidian was trying to say.
“No matter how I treat you, do you just not care anymore?” Mu Cidian repeated. Xin Zaozao could only open her eyes, “Nie Feng isn’t here. Can I resist you?”
Mu Cidian’s face looked very unsightly.
At that moment, he suddenly leaned over her.
Xin Zaozao didn’t close her eyes, she just took it.
Then she lay still.
But Mu Cidian did not go any further.
He let Xin Zaozao go, he seemed even more infuriated, “So from now on, you can climb into any man’s bed?”
“Yes.” Xin Zaozao answered.
“Is betraying yourself interesting?! Can’t you just take a sum of money that you can’t spend in your lifetime and leave this place, to live a good life like before?” Mu Cidian questioned, word by word, gritting his teeth.
Xin Zaozao laughed coldly, “Unless you all are unmade and have nothing left, I won’t leave, even in death!”
Mu Cidian harshly replied, “Your father was not good to you.”
“That doesn’t mean I can let you and your mother do as you please. Besides, who said my revenge is for my father? Who said it’s not for myself?!”
“What do you want?”
“I want you and your mother to die without peace.”
“Xin Zaozao, I’m speaking to you seriously.” Mu Cidian seemed to be suppressing something, he appeared to be trembling, “You tell me what you want, what do you want, I promise you, I’ll agree to anything!”
“Then you can go die.” Xin Zaozao said calmly. She said these words without any emotion.
Mu Cidian clenched his fist.
Xin Zaozao repeated, “You can go die, and take your mother with you. I’ll auction off the Xin group, then leave the country and live a carefree life.”
Mu Cidian’s clenched fist never loosened.
Xin Zaozao pushed off Mu Cidian’s shackles.
She got up from the bed.
Her clothes were somewhat disheveled, she tidied them up casually.
She said, “You can’t do it, right? If you can’t just leave. Why waste our time Imowing there’s no room for discussion. As for the Xin Group, even if I die, you won’t get it. Oh, I’ve left a will.”
Mu Cidian glared at her fiercely.
“If I die, the entire Xin Group will be donated to charity. You and your mother won’t get a dime.” Xin Zaozao stood at a distance from Mu Cidian, spoke clearly, and braced herself in case Mu Cidian decided to throw a punch.
Although she seemed prepared to die, she didn’t intend to die so easily, nor did she want to suffer physical pain senselessly.
“I’ll marry you.” Mu Cidian said.
His voice was very calm.
His voice was very clear.
Xin Zaozao looked at him.
She thought she must have heard wrong.
At that moment, Muidan spoke again, very clearly, “Xin Zaozao, I’ll marry you.”
Xin Zaozao…
I’ll marry you.
I’ll marry you…
Xin Zaozao looked at him.
Her eyes were slightly red.
She had never thought that Mu Cidian would utter those words.
Even when Mu Cidian was treating her well at that time, she dared not hope that Mu Cidian would marry her.
She laughed.
The moistness at the bottom of her eyes could easily be retracted.
She asked, “What benefit are you planning to gain from me this time?” Mu Cidian’s Adam’s apple bobbed in response.
“You don’t desire my body, right?” Xin Zaozao laughed, “So, you still aim for the Xin Group. The moment I announced that I would donate the Xin Family fortune to charity after my death, you lost your patience. Mu Cidian, considering how you’ve deceived me for so many years, considering my years of providing free company in bed, can you stop icing your manipulation under the guise of affection?”
I am not afraid of being deceived by you again.
But I will feel unspeakably foolish.
“You don’t have to change your will.” Mu Cidian said seriously.
“Perhaps not right now, but what about in the future?” Xin Zaozao asked, “You and your mother will invent some torturous scheme to get to me, won’t you!” “I will NOT!” Mu Cidian roared in anger.
“Mu Cidian, I don’t believe a word you say now, let alone you marrying me. I find that laughable. Don’t torment yourself to appease me. I won’t believe it, and certainly won’t be happy!” Xin Zaozao responded.
“I will exchange my 6% of shares with you! I will withdraw from Xin Group!” Mu Cidian said, his voice loud.
Xin Zaozao stared at him.
“I can transfer the shares immediately!” Xin Zaozao just continued looking at him.
Without showing any emotion.
“I can gather the media and announce to the world that I, Mu Cidian, will never step into Xin Group for the rest of my life! Is that enough?”
“Enough.” Xin Zaozao’s voice was weak.
Mu Cidian’s gaze flickered.
“But unfortunately, I am not interested, I am not interested in you.” Xin Zaozao said, her expression was cold, “In this life, I can marry anyone, but definitely not vou.”
Mu Cidian turned ghastly pale.
“I don’t know what you and your mother are plotting, and I was indeed a bit shaken by what you just said. However, fortunately, I no longer believe a single word you say and won’t be tempted. Mu Cidian, if you’re really generous, give me your shares unconditionally, leave Xin Group unconditionally. Maybe when we meet in the future, we can even say hello.”
Mu Cidian glared at her, not uttering a single word.
Xin Zaozao laughed, “Actually, you can’t do it, right? Thank goodness, I don’t believe you!”
Mu Cidian’s face was twisted, extremely terrifying.
Xin Zaozao remained unflinching.
Anyway, Mu Cidian can’t kill her.
If he killed her, the Xin Group would completely fall into a void.
Suddenly, Mu Cidian turned and left.
Xin Zaozao watched his retreating figure.
At that moment, she was truly relieved!
Turns out, turns out.
She was really now indifferent towards Mu Cidian.
Turns out, she could reject Mu Cidian so decisively. She was even proud of herself!
Talk about marrying her?!
She would never believe it in this life!
Outside the room.
As Mu Cidian angrily opened the door to leave, there was a sudden shout from Ji Baili, “Mu Cidian.”
Mu Cidian paused.
He didn’t notice that Ji Baili was still there.
He turned his head and looked at him.
“Although we aren’t close and have never interacted, I heard you and Brother Yin Qin have some kind of friendship. I know Brother Yin Qin well. I believe that anyone who can be friends with him can’t be bad; after all, birds of a feather flock together. But right now, I suddenly realize that you can’t judge a book by its cover,” Ji Baili said, his tone calm but laced with sarcasm.
“You better not meddle in things that don’t concern you.” Mu Cidian said coldly.
“Indeed, it’s not much of my concern. However, as a bystander, I think you and your mother are too harsh on Xin Zaozao; even I as an outsider can’t bear to watch anymore.”
Mu Cidian’s gaze tightened.
“Don’t blame me if I didn’t warn you, if I ever catch you and your mother bullying Xin Zaozao again, I won’t show mercy.” Ji Baili continued, “By the way, I’ve learned free combat and Taekwondo for many, many years!” Mu Cidian remained frosty.
“Especially tell your mother that I’m short-tempered and devoid of gentlemanly behavior, luckily, I still have a sense of justice. So, regardless of whether it’s men, women, old or young, I treat them all equally.”
After dropping this sentence, Ji Baili left gracefully.
As Mu Cidian watched his retreating figure, his expression became worse and worse!
