Chapter 34: Come Find Me

er, but her eyes were fixed on Zhou Li. Cream smeared onto her lips. 。Jane Qing's throat felt dry with desire, her passions surging. She lowered her head to kiss him, but Ginger Mingzhu stopped his sh...Ginger Mingzhu: "You are the only son of the Zhan family, what belongs to you, you cannot let go."

Zhan Yanqing's eyes narrowed, and a look of inquiry and doubt appeared in them as he gazed into Jiang Mingzhu's eyes.

Ginger Mingzhu knew exactly what he suspected, but she still said to him, "You can't possibly sever ties with the Zhan family. That's a paradox in itself."

Jian Yanqing was silent. Having been born into this circle, he knew all too well what Jiang Mingzhu said made sense.

Ginger Mingzhu: “If you really want to protect me, you should become the most influential person in the Jiang family. At that time, no one will be able to bully me.”

Jan Yanqing couldn't deny Jiang Mingzhu's words. This world has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. The fact that he couldn't be with the person he liked was indeed because the Jan family wasn't what he said it was.

Jan Yen-Ching pondered for a long time, and then said, “I have no interest in managing the company. All the affairs of Fenghe over the years have been handled by my sister.”

Ginger Mingzhu: “I know.”

Chen Yaniqing: "But for you, I'm willing to give it a try. Will you wait for me"

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes widened in surprise and she was so touched that her eyes welled up. "Really"

Jan-Qing Chen: "When have I ever lied to you"

Ginger Mingzhu lightly pursed her lips, as if remembering something, but hesitated to speak.

Jan Yen-ching: "If you have anything else to say, please go ahead.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it..." Jiang Mingzhu worried, "Mr. Zhan has been managing the company all these years, if you suddenly go back, she might not be happy"

Although Chen Yanqing had a fight with Chen Yubai, he didn't doubt that she would fall into such a situation, “It’s not that bad, she always wants me to go back.”

Jiang Mingzhu: "Well... maybe I'm being too sensitive. Sorry."

Jan Yen-Ching: “Don’t apologize, she bullied you before, it’s normal for you to be wary of her.”

Ginger Mingzhu: "I just feel that if it were me, I would definitely be very unwilling... You'd better be careful."

Jan Yan-qing: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"And…" Jiang Mingzhu licked her lips, saying with some difficulty, "For this period of time, we shouldn't meet publicly. And you shouldn't use the fact that I argue with your parents as an excuse to suffer in silence."

Before Jian Yanqing could reply to Jiang Mingzhu, her phone rang. It was a call from Jian Yubai.

Ginger saw his incoming call and reminded him, "Pick up soon."

Then, when she picked up the phone, she heard Zhan Yu Bai ask, "Yan Qing, are you outside"

"Just say what you have to say." Recently, Chan Yanqing and Chan Yu Bai had a falling out and he's far from as kind to her as he used to be.

Jiang Mingzhu sipped her juice and, upon hearing Zhan Yanqing's impatient tone, a slight smile curved her lips.

"Yanqing, I'm sorry. It was my fault about you and Mingzhu. I apologize to you." Janyubai said in a soft voice, "I've thought about it, family background is not the most important thing after all. As long as you both like each other, that's enough."

Zhan Yanqing touched the cup in his hand, without a sound.

Jane said, “Here’s what we do. Find some time soon and bring Mingzhu to the hospital. I'll talk to your parents then.”

Jian Yanqing's eyes twinkled, and she suddenly smiled, her tone noticeably lighter than before. "Why would you suddenly help me"

Jean spoke softly: “You are my younger brother, I hope you are happy.”

Jane Chin: "Well, I'll leave the parents to you then. Talk to you later. I'm having dinner with my little pearl."

Putting down her phone, Zhan Yanqing raised an eyebrow at Jiang Mingzhu and asked, “Guess what she told me”

"Are you taking me back to meet your parents"

A flash of surprise crossed Zhan Yanqing's eyes. "You guessed that too"

"There's no way, who made me so petty" Jiang Mingzhu said. "Your father has already been hospitalized from anger. If you bring me over at this time, they will be terribly disappointed in you."

One doesn't need to explicitly state it for Ginger Mingzhu, Chien Yen-ching understands what someone utterly disappointed might do.

Growing up in this circle, many people have had their bank accounts frozen and inheritance rights revoked for disobeying their parents.

Jian Yanqing finished his glass of juice and chuckled, "It seems she really treated me like a fool back then."

Ginger Mingzhu: "You're siblings, she still cares about you a lot."

"Who knows, it's not like she gave birth to him anyway." Jan Yanqing sneered, her lips curling up.

Jiang Mingzhu's face was full of surprise, "Not biologically related"

Chen Yanqing: "She was adopted by my parents, she was already twenty when she came home."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Why did you adopt her"

Seeing Jiang Mingzhu's unsightly face, Zhan Yanqing asked, "Do you find it rather comical"

"No, this is normal," Jiang Mingzhu said. "The Zhan family also gave her a lot. If she wasn't the Zhan family's adopted daughter, the Zhou family probably wouldn't have accepted her."

When it came to this matter, Zhan Yanqing's face was noticeably serious. "The Zhou family accepted her not because of the Zhan family."

Ginger Mingzhu curiously asked, "Why is that"

"In recent years, Madam Zhou suffered from kidney failure. It was Zhan Yu Bai who donated a kidney to her, which brought Madam Zhou back to life."

Ginger Mingzhu's brow jumped violently, her face paling. Her hand under the table clenched into a fist, her fingernails digging into the flesh of her palm.

Jan Yanqing noticed that Jiang Mingzhu's face was wrong, "What's wrong"

"It's nothing, just a little surprised." Jiang Mingzhu asked, "Why did she do that"

Jane Ching: "She had liked Zhou Li for a long time, but Zhou Li wasn't interested in her at first. After this incident, Mrs. Zhou arranged for them to get married, and Zhou Li didn't object. He even treated her well afterwards."

"I see." Ginger Mingzhu's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Jane Yubai used that kidney to exchange for Zhou Li's fiancee identity. For the sake of being with him, she was willing to do such dirty and underhanded things.

Uh...

Zhou Li, she robbed and decided.

——

Because of Chen Yanqing's words, Jiang Mingzhu had nightmares all night long. When she woke up, her dark circles were almost falling off.

Therefore, she put on heavy makeup to go to work.

As soon as Ginger Mingzhu arrived at the company, she was assigned by Liang Cong to take minutes in the meeting room.

Jiang Mingzhu came to the conference room door with her notebook and bumped into Zhou Li, who was coming in for the meeting.

Zhou Li was surrounded by several executives. His sharp face, as always, was expressionless, cold enough to make one shiver.

When Zhou Li saw Jiang Mingzhu, his gaze lingered on her for a moment.

Ginger Mingzhu: "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Li ignored her and went in to sit with a few executives.

During the meeting, Jiang Mingzhu was fully focused on taking notes, her slender fingers tapping away at the keyboard. She didn't even have time to look at Zhou Li.

Naturally, she wouldn't notice, but from time to time, the man would give her a cold glance.

After the meeting, Jiang Mingzhu sent the meeting minutes to the attendees and cc'd Zhou Li.

Less than a minute later, she received Zhou Li's reply: Come to my office.inger Mingzhu heard this nonchalant voice, her heart was already cursing him out. Zhou Li dared to say she loved to actHer acting was nothing compared to his.Zhan Yu Bai actually listened to Zhou Li's...
