âZeng Qing, I had wanted to give you a chance so that we could still be friends in the future, but I didnât expect you to ignore me so many times when I asked you to repay the money. If we werenât classmates, I would have called the police. I came to H City so many times to ask you to return the money to me, but not only did you avoid me, you even got your girlfriend to spread rumors that I was a mistress who seduced you. Youâre really shameless!â
âYouâre spouting nonsense. Clearly, you failed to seduce me and instead tried to slander me. Let me tell you, Qiao Sisi, donât even think about getting your way. I will never like you in my life.â Zeng Qing said fiercely and took two steps back in disdain.
However, Qiao Sisi smiled and took Zheng Zeyiâs hand. âHoney, look at him. How can he slander me like this? Trust me, with such an outstanding and perfect man like you by my side, Iâll only fall for him if Iâm blind.â
The Zhang familyâs parents already formed their own conclusions. Everyone compared Zhang Zeyi and Zeng Qing. The comparison was like heaven and earth.
No matter how one looked at him, Zheng Zeyi was a highly eligible bachelor, a perfect man.
Zeng Qing had a slightly better-looking face, but compared with Zhang Zeyi, their aura and physique were worlds apart.
Even a blind person would choose Zhang Zeyi over Zeng Qing.
Zheng Zeyi held Qiao Sisi in his arms happily and patted her hand comfortingly, âOf course, I believe you.â
Then he looked at Zeng Qing and Zhang Li and said to the crowd, âMs. Zhang, please stop the defamation of my fiancée immediately. Otherwise, I will use legal means to protect her reputation. Also, Mr. Zeng, since the evidence is conclusive and you indeed owe my fiancée so much money, please repay the money to her on time. Otherwise, we will see you in court.â
Qiao Sisi nodded and snuggled up to Zhang Zeyi obediently like a little woman.
Zhang Zeyi was very pleased, but Yang Yueyue was so angry that she almost bit her tongue.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
How dare she!
Once he finished speaking, Zhang Zeyi ignored everyoneâs expression and turned to Zhang Liâs parents. âUncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, Iâm really sorry. We have something on, so weâll leave first. Weâll visit you again another day to apologize.â
......
How could Zhang Liâs parents stop him? They could only politely get the butler to send him away.
Qiao Sisi held Zhang Zeyiâs hand and left the villa arrogantly, oblivious to the storm she had just caused.
When they got into the Bentley, Qiao Sisi immediately let go of Zheng Zeyiâs hand and started to pant. Then she laughed loudly. âDid you see Zeng Qing and Zhang Liâs faces just now? And Yang Yueyue. She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. Hahaha, the way they looked when they were defeated was so funny. Awesome.â
Zhang Zeyi smiled at her and closed the partition between him and the chauffeur quietly.
It wasnât until Qiao Sisi stopped laughing that she realized something was wrong. âWhy⦠Why are you looking at me like that?â
âWhat do you think?â Zheng Zeyi propped his chin with one hand and looked at her with a faint smile.
Qiao Sisi moved to sit closer to the door, feeling uneasy. Obviously, he was looking at her lustfully.
But she did not say anything. She rolled down the car window and changed the subject, âDrop me off at the bus stop. Iâll take a taxi home.â
âWhere are you going?â Zhang Zeyi looked at her with some displeasure in his eyes.
Qiao Sisi felt that he was strange and said matter-of-factly, âTo my friendâs house, of course. Do I have to go with you?â
âOf course you have to come with me. Donât forget, youâre my fiancée now.â Zhang Zeyi grabbed her hand with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Qiao Sisi struggled a few times but did not break free. She said quickly, âYou said that I just have to pretend to be your fiancée. Itâs just an act. Thereâs no need for us to get together, right?â
Zheng Zeyi played with her hand and chuckled. âSisi, you have to understand that my family is very smart, especially my grandfather. Heâs almost like a spirit. Since I said that youâre my fiancée, heâll investigate you tomorrow. If he finds out that you donât live with me, heâll definitely think that Iâm lying to him. If this happens, with one word from him, the entire H City will know that youâre fake. Then wonât your acting today be wasted?â
âMy acting is wasted?â Qiao Sisi struggled. She did not think it was that serious.
Zhang Zeyi nodded. âSay, once Yang Yueyue and the rest know that youâre fake, will they continue to slander you? When that time comes, wouldnât I be deceiving myself by coming out to explain?â
âIt seems⦠It seems to be so!â
âThen canât you ask your grandfather not to come?â Qiao Sisi continued to struggle. She felt that if she were to live with him, she would be like a meat bun thrown at a dog.
Zhang Zeyi looked really dangerous.
Zhang Zeyi looked at her and suddenly let go of her hand. He said, âSigh, I wanted to introduce you to Jinyu as a designer, but it seems like Iâm being nosy. You donât need my help.â
Just as Qiao Sisi was about to nod, she suddenly stopped and grabbed Zheng Zeyiâs hand nervously. âThe Jinyu youâre talking about, is it that internationally renowned designer, Xiang Jinyuâs jewelry design company?â
Zhang Zeyi nodded and retracted his hand. âDonât worry. Since you donât need it, I wonât force you.â
âNo, I need it. I need it badly.â Donât play a joke on me. Xiang Jinyu was her idol and the dream of many jewelry designers.
Everyone wanted to be like her, famous internationally and designing the jewelry she liked.
She was powerless to resist such a good opportunity.
âBut arenât you going back to live with your friend?â Zhang Zeyi smiled.
âNo, my friend is taking her boyfriend home tonight. If I go, Iâll be an unwanted third party. That would be inappropriate. Young Master Zheng, please do me a favor and let me stay for the night!â Qiao Sisi looked at him anxiously, afraid that he would go back on his word.
âBut arenât you worried that Iâll have impure designs on you?â Zhang Zeyi continued his tactic.
Qiao Sisi looked at him intently and gritted her teeth. âDonât worry. Even if itâs errant, itâs my fault for having impure intentions towards you. I believe in your character.â
âSo, regarding my grandpaâ¦.â
âI will definitely perform well and play the role of your fiancée well. Your grandfather is my grandfather. I will definitely serve him like how I served my grandfather so that he will be pleased with me.â In order to enter Jinyu, Qiao Sisi had repeatedly crossed her bottom line.
âYes. But this is not something that can be done in a day or two.â Zhang Zeyi was still hesitant.
âDonât hesitate. Iâll wait no matter how long it will take. As long as you let me enter Jinyu.â Damn it, Iâll give it my all. Even if itâs a wolfâs den, Iâll take a risk.
Zhang Zeyi finally smiled in satisfaction. âVery good, baby. Remember what you said.â
