《Master Lu, I Flirted With The Wrong Person!》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Slap! A slap landed on Jiang Xinxin¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯ve really disappointed me!¡± Father Jiang pointed at her while glowering. ¡°I know you¡¯ve never liked your Auntie Chen and your sister, Mingzhu, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a jerk. You even tried to steal your sister¡¯s boyfriend!¡± Jiang Xinxin was stunned by this slap. She had just gone to another province on a business trip and came back early. When she got home, she found that her boyfriend¡¯s family was discussing the engagement with her parents. What¡¯s more, the bride was not her, but her stepsister! Of course, she had to ask about such a ridiculous thing. Unexpectedly, she was treated like this by her biological father! ¡°Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s boyfriend?¡±Jiang Xinxin covered her stinging face and looked at Fu Yan and Jiang Mingzhu in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯ve been with Fu Yan for three years. When did he become Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s boyfriend?¡± As soon as she said this, everyone present was stunned, especially Fu Yan. His expression was so twisted that it looked like he would start crying. ¡°Fu Yan is a forthright and righteous person. He grew up with Xinxin and took good care of her. Maybe she misunderstood.¡± Her stepmother stepped out to smooth things over. ¡°Although Xinxin has a bad temper, she¡¯s not the kind of child who would ruin other people¡¯s relationships. Hubby, don¡¯t talk about her like that. She definitely didn¡¯t know that Fu Yan and Mingzhu were boyfriend and girlfriend, so she has made a mistake. Am I right, Xinxin?¡± Jiang Xinxin sneered. She finally realized that this mother and daughter pair were determined to make her the third person who ruined her sister¡¯s relationship. ¡°Fu Yan knows best whether I¡¯ve misunderstood.¡±Jiang Xinxin looked at the handsome man in the corner. There was only disappointment in her eyes. ¡°Xinxin¡­¡± Fu Yan avoided her eyes and said awkwardly, ¡°Auntie is right. I¡¯ve only treated you as my sister since we were young. We weren¡¯t being sensible in the past and I¡¯m sorry that you misunderstood.¡± ¡®Misunderstanding? ¡®Sorry?¡¯ Jiang Xinxin thought to herself, ¡®When did this person become such a coward?¡¯ They had grown up together, and he had pursued her relentlessly in high school. He was extremely attentive to her needs, and in their junior year, she responded to his confession and officially started dating him. Before she went on a business trip, he had promised that when she returned, the two families would discuss the engagement. He had sent her numerous text messages saying that he missed her. But all of this had become a misunderstanding? ¡®Misunderstanding! As if!¡¯ ¡°Shut up. Who are you calling your sister?¡±Jiang Xinxin was so disgusted that she could not help but curse. ¡°I might as well be your ancestor.¡± Fu Yan opened his mouth awkwardly and looked at Jiang Xinxin with pleading eyes. At this moment, Jiang Mingzhu, who was hiding behind her, stammered, ¡°Xinxin, don¡¯t talk like that. Don¡¯t blame Brother Yan. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It¡¯s because I love brother Yan too much that I put you in such a difficult position. Dad, don¡¯t blame my sister either. I don¡¯t want to jeopardise our family harmony.¡± Before she could finish talking, tears started to fall. ¡°If Brother Yan is willing, I can stop¡­¡± ¡°Mingzhu, don¡¯t say that.¡± Fu Yan quickly hugged her. ¡°No one can separate us. I will only love you for my whole life.¡± Jiang Xinxin was about to throw up. She thought to herself, ¡®What did he mean by that?¡¯ Who wanted to separate them? Her? It was extremely laughable. However, at this moment, she saw Jiang Mingzhu, who was weeping dramatically just a second ago. She gave her a provocative smile, as if to say, ¡°Look, ever since you were young, you have never been able to compete with me in anything.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only A monstrous anger rose in Jiang Xinxin¡¯s heart. She smiled as she watched the two of them hug each other tightly. This smile was extremely flirtatious. Jiang Xinxin brushed away the slightly curly hair on her forehead and raised her eyebrows. ¡°It can¡¯t be, can it? No one would treat a player like him, who flatters every girl, like treasure, right?¡± Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s entire body stiffened and she could no longer keep the smile on her face.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Xinxin shrugged and looked at her with a smile. ¡°You¡¯d better think about it carefully. Why does he want to be with you?¡± ¡°Oh, there¡¯s more.¡± Her smile was flamboyant and extremely dazzling. ¡°He said that being with me was a misunderstanding today. Can you guarantee that he won¡¯t say the same about you one day as well? Big sister, look in the mirror. If you¡¯re not some sort of saint, don¡¯t expect that you can save a scumbag. He¡¯s still happily swimming, and catching all the fish in the sea¡± This time, it was not just Jiang Mingzhu. Everyone¡¯s expressions turned ugly. Father Jiang wanted to hit Jiang Xinxin. ¡°What are you talking about? Apologize to your sister and brother-in-law!¡± Jiang Xinxin quickly took a step back and avoided his slap. ¡°Apologize? You should apologize.¡± She nodded and slowly walked to Fu Yan and Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s side. She suddenly raised her hand. Jiang Mingzhu was so scared that she closed her eyes and hid behind Fu Yan. She did not expect that Jiang Xinxin would not aim for her at all. She slapped Fu Yan¡¯s with the back of her hand, and with all the strength she had! Fu Yan was hit so hard that he was forced to turn his head, and his face immediately swelled up. Fu Yan gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a sound. After all, he had a guilty conscience. ¡°This is my way of apologizing,¡± Jiang Xinxin announced to everyone present coldly. After she finished speaking, she put on her sunglasses and walked off. Father Jiang was so angry that he started panting heavily. He pointed at her with a trembling hand. ¡°Unfilial daughter, go away. If you leave now, don¡¯t ever come back!¡± Jiang Xinxin thought to herself that it was better not to return to such a home. ¡°My father is not like a father, my boyfriend is not like a boyfriend ¡ª all rubbish!¡±Jiang Xinxin said in the end. ¡°If Jiang Mingzhu is willing to pick it up, I¡¯ll just give it all to her.¡± With one sentence, she scolded everyone present. The few of them looked at each other with serious expressions. Who asked them to think only of themselves? It was unreasonable. Jiang Xinxin put the suitcase that was used for business trips into the back seat of her Porsche and returned to the small duplex that she had bought. The apartment was close to the company, so she would only stay there on weekdays. After a few days of business trips, the house was extremely empty. Jiang Xinxin called for a maid to help clean up, while she called her best friend Li Li. She had asked her out several times before, but she had not had the time. Now, she had a lot to say. She had to say it. The two of them went to a high-end restaurant, and Jiang Xinxin finished half a glass of red wine in one go. ¡°Wait, wait, what¡¯s going on?¡± Li Li took the wine further away. ¡°Drink slowly.¡± Jiang Xinxin called the waiter over and asked him to pour the wine. After drinking a few glasses in a row, Jiang Xinxin¡¯s face turned slightly red. She then said, ¡°Fu Yan, that idiot. He made me jealous.¡± Li Li was speechless. ¡°I told you he couldn¡¯t do it,¡±Li Li whispered. ¡°He flatters everyone. Others may be powerful but he flatters them too. If someone gets their hands on a man like him, they¡¯ll think highly of him, believing that he¡¯s number one in the world.¡± Jiang Xinxin pouted gloomily. Her already pink cheeks looked even cuter. Li Li could not help but stare at her. ¡°Who did that b*stard end up with?¡± Li Li coaxed her. ¡°He did not want your beauty. Is he blind?¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t believe it even if I told you.¡± In front of her best friend, Jiang Xinxin¡¯s expression and tone were both cute and naive. ¡°My stepmother chose my cheapskate sister ¡ª Jiang Mingzhu!¡± Li Li¡¯s eyes were wide and she covered her mouth. ¡°Holy sh*t!¡± ¡°They¡¯re being ridiculous,¡± Jiang Xinxin ridiculed them. ¡°Fu Yan also said that he only treated me as his sister. Ugh! I¡¯m going to vomit, he really dared to say that.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Aren¡¯t they too shameless? They were so dumb, and you just swallowed it like that?¡± Li Li grabbed her hand and was filled with righteous indignation. Jiang Xinxin was already a little tipsy. Hearing this, she slapped the table. ¡°No, I can¡¯t tolerate this!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tolerate it either!¡± Li Li slapped the table as well. Jiang Xinxin was encouraged. She narrowed her eyebrows. Her voice was sultry and threatening. ¡°I want revenge!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Li Li then asked the most important question.. ¡°How do you plan to take revenge?¡± Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hmm? Jiang Xinxin fell silent. She rested her chin on her hand and thought hard. No matter what, she felt that it was too easy. She thought that if there was no love between the two of them, he could just say it directly. She was not the kind of person who would continue to pester him. It was disgusting that Fu Yan took care of her and played the role of the best boyfriend in the world while trying to hook up with her sister. Finally, he had to say that she had misunderstood him and he asked her not to destroy his relationship. What kind of person was he?! He had to learn his lesson so that he would never dare to do that again! However, whether it was beating him up or asking Jiang Mingzhu to abandon him, it would not be enough. She wanted him to experience the ultimate social death! It was best to let everyone know his true colors so that he would not be able to raise his head in front of his family, colleagues, and friends in the future. But how could she do that? ¡°Hey.¡± Li Li gently touched her calf under the table. She seemed to be pointing to someone. Her expression was ambiguous. ¡°Look at that person.¡± Following her gaze, Jiang Xinxin was also stunned. Under the dim light of the high-end restaurant, there sat a man with an elegant posture. He was dressed in a high-cut suit, had gold-rimmed glasses, and his slender fingers held a fork and knife. His side profile looked absolutely flawless. His nose, especially, was attractive, and his lips were tight. He was so handsome. No wonder Li Li had stopped listening. She held her chin and looked at him with a face full of infatuation. ¡°You¡¯ve seen a lot of people,¡± Jiang Xinxin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Li Li had her own live broadcast company, and there were countless internet celebrities under her name. There was no lack of handsome men and beautiful women who were comparable to the male gods and goddesses of the entertainment industry. Li Li shook her head. ¡°There are many people who are handsome, but there are very few people who have that temperament.¡± Jiang Xinxin raised her eyebrows. Indeed. She thought to herself that the man indeed had a unique temperament. He looked very difficult to approach. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Li Li suddenly took out her phone and scrolled to a photo to show Jiang Xinxin. ¡°Is it the same person?¡± The photo was taken at an unknown location and was blur. It was hard to see clearly; only a vague outline could be seen. ¡°It looks like him. Who is this person?¡± Li Li suddenly grabbed her hand excitedly and said with bright eyes, ¡°I have an idea.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take revenge on that jerk?¡± Li Li said. ¡°Him? He¡¯s Fu Yan¡¯s uncle! Last time I went to a banquet with my brother, my brother told me that. Initially, he said that their group¡¯s new business was also related to entertainment, so he wanted me to get close to him. How would I have the courage to do that? I just took a photo from afar.¡± Whoa! Jiang Xinxin gave Li Li a thumbs up. It really could not be from the media, Jiang Xinxin thought to herself. Only she could come up with this kind of dramatic and cliche idea! ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s him?¡± Jiang Xinxin asked. She had heard that Fu Yan had a mysterious uncle who was very capable. He was the president of a multinational company at a young age, but he had been doing business abroad. He did not come back often. She did not expect him to be so handsome. ¡°It¡¯s him.¡± Li Li nodded. ¡°He¡¯s huge, rich, and handsome. I won¡¯t forget this kind of man when I see him!¡± He raised his chin at her. ¡°How about it? Are you in?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Jiang Xinxin narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man¡¯s almost perfect profile. She thought of the scumbag man and Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s provocative look and clenched her fists tightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Jiang Xinxin tidied up her wavy hair. She thought for a moment and unbuttoned two of her buttons. She gave Li Li a confident look. ¡°Watch me.¡± With that, she picked up her glass and walked toward the man in her high heels.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Li had never seen her best friend act so boldly. For a moment, she was pleasantly surprised and excited as she watched her slowly walk over. She smiled so much that her mouth could not stay shut. Speaking of which, Jiang Xinxin was very good-looking. She had an elegant and charming appearance. It was one thing for her to have a good figure, but the key was that she had a pair of seductive eyes. Whenever people looked at her, they would feel calm because her wide eyes made them feel at ease and even lustful. However, she did not feel this at all. She was always dressed casually. Li Li had tried to persuade her to become an influencer many times, but she always turned it down. That was because Jiang Xinxin only had novels in her heart. She was not interested in anything else. Her knowledge about professional influencers made Li Li take out her phone and start taking pictures of her best friend walking in that direction. The distance between the two tables was not very large. Lu Yuanzhi was by the window, and he needed to book the Jiang Scenic Area half a month in advance. Lu Yuanzhi slowly cut the juicy steak and put it into his mouth. He chewed the steak very slowly, and his handsome face became more vivid and attractive with every tiny movement. When his slender fingers touched the goblet, there was a clear and melodious sound. It was Jiang Xinxin clinking glasses with him. His gaze shifted to her face. The gold-rimmed glasses added a sense of unfriendliness to this face. However, the way he looked at strangers was not cold, but kind. He raised his glass at her, but Lu Yuanzhi did not speak. Instead, he waited for her to explain why she was here. ¡°Alone?¡±Jiang Xinxin mustered up her courage. ¡°Can I sit here?¡± Lu Yuanzhi took a sip of his wine and put down the glass. He looked in the direction of where Jiang Xinxin had come from. Li Li was still taking photos from there. When she saw him looking at her, she was so scared that she immediately stopped and put away her phone. ¡°No,¡± Lu Yuanzhi rejected her directly. Jiang Xinxin was stunned. She looked down at her chest. Her cleavage was pronounced. ¡®It shouldn¡¯t have turned out like this, right?¡¯ Moreover, there was no need to be so concise in rejecting her. It was as if she was some kind of dirty thing! ¡°Why? Why?¡± Jiang Xinxin was stunned and asked subconsciously. Lu Yuanzhi was not even looking at her anymore. Instead, he said, ¡°If you want the rights to use my photos, you can look for my lawyer. However, the cost of having me make an appearance is relatively high. I hope you can afford it.¡± Jiang Xinxin was speechless. Rights to use his portrait? Jiang Xinxin turned around and looked at Li Li, who had a guilty look on her face. She understood. Li Li was probably filming her just now. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir,¡± Jiang Xinxin said. ¡°My friend is an influencer. She just thought that this conversation might have become something more interesting and wanted to record it. She didn¡¯t mean to invade your privacy.¡± The conversation suddenly turned into a legal discussion. Jiang Xinxin felt a headache coming. ¡°That¡¯s your business.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s tone was distant and his expression was cold. ¡°I usually only eat with business partners. Obviously, you don¡¯t seem to fall into that category for the time being, so you don¡¯t get this opportunity.¡± Jiang Xinxin was at a loss for words. This person¡­ How could he be like this? ¡®He was too mercenary!¡¯ Jiang Xinxin thought in her heart. Moreover, he was so unromantic! She did not even have the time to launch an attack before she was crippled by him. His words were so vicious that she really wanted to find a hole to hide in. ¡°Sir, you have misunderstood.¡± Jiang Xinxin¡¯s voice was dry, and it was completely devoid of the complacency she had at the beginning. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lu Yuanzhi ignored her. After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinxin took out her phone and forced a smile. She said sweetly, ¡°Then¡­ in order to become your partner as soon as possible, can I trouble you to leave your contact information?¡± Her smile was very cute, especially when she was pretending to be sweet. It was difficult for ordinary people to resist her words. However, Lu Yuanzhi was obviously not an ordinary person. ¡°Please contact the company for business inquiries.¡± Lu Yuanzhi placed his elbow on the table and looked at her with a serious expression. ¡°There is a contact information on the front page of the company¡¯s website.¡± Jiang Xinxin was speechless once more.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡®I¡¯m going to die before I even finish my job.¡¯ Jiang Xinxin returned to her seat in distress and looked at Li Li awkwardly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± Li Li asked. ¡°How can he be so cruel and heartless to a beautiful woman? It¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t flirt with her, but there¡¯s no need to insult her. It¡¯s so embarrassing.¡± Finally, she lowered her voice and said, ¡°He can¡¯t be gay, right?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be.¡±Jiang Xinxin rubbed her face in distress. Jiang Xinxin had completely sobered up. ¡°What¡¯s the name of the company he mentioned just now?¡± Li Li took out her phone. ¡°Let me look it up.¡± Following that, Jiang Xinxin and Li Li searched through his Facebook and Instagram. From his previous interviews and the company¡¯s business operations, they obtained the following information: Lu Yuanzhi, male, 28 years old, single, heterosexual. He had a master¡¯s degree in film, television, and economics from an Ivy League University. He was currently the president of a multinational corporation. His businesses were all over the world, and he had just returned to China not long ago. ¡°Fu Yan¡¯s uncle is that amazing?¡±Jiang Xinxin and Li Li were dumbfounded. Li Li said excitedly, ¡°Then you have to go even further!¡± Jiang Xinxin was confused. ¡°Think about it,¡± Li Li said. ¡°Fu Yan is so arrogant even though he¡¯s only his nephew. If you become his wife¡­ Oh my God! Just based on his face, you have to go for it, okay?¡± What a coincidence. Jiang Xinxin was thinking the same thing, but she could not flirt with him! This man was simply a man of iron will. She really did not have the courage to do it after being rejected so ruthlessly just now. ¡°Sis, a woman should be brave enough to face challenges and not be afraid of difficulties.¡± Li Li pinched her shoulder. ¡°I believe in you. I¡¯ll go ask my brother to find out more about him right now. I¡¯ll report to you immediately if there¡¯s any development!¡± Li Li had already done this for her. How could she back down at the last minute? ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Xinxin made up her mind. ¡°I¡¯ll flirt with him until he supports me in the future. I want to bring him over to Fu Yan and Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s engagement party. I want them to call me aunt in front of their family and friends!¡± Jiang Xinxin put in a good word and said, ¡°Call me that 100 times!¡± Imagining that scene, Jiang Xinxin felt that she had to rush over. ¡°My brother replied me!¡± Li Li showed her the phone screen. It was a reply from her big brother, Li Shuo. Li Li asked him where Lu Yuanzhi was staying after he returned to China, and Li Shuo told him that he should be staying in a hotel under Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s own name. ¡°It¡¯s better to choose a day like today. I think today is a good day.¡± As she said that, she put a tip on the table, grabbed her bag and left the restaurant with Jiang Xinxin. ¡°Wait, where are we going?¡±Jiang Xinxin was still a little confused. Li Li had already helped her fasten her seatbelt. Li Li was driving and they soon arrived at the five-star hotel under Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s name. ¡°I¡¯ve asked around. There¡¯s a suite on the top floor that¡¯s not open to the public. Lu Yuanzhi lives there.¡± Li Li chased her out of the car and stuffed her bag into her hands. ¡°The rest is up to you.¡± Jiang Xinxin was shocked. ¡°What do you mean by it¡¯s up to me? How can it be up to me?¡± Li Li winked at her and drove away. As she watched the Maserati leave, Jiang Xinxin was at a loss for words. She stood at the entrance of the hotel. The aftershock of the red wine washed over her and she felt a little hot. Out of the blue, she went to the front desk of the hotel and booked another presidential suite on the top floor. The two suites were connected. After the staff left, Jiang Xinxin lingered in the room for a long time. Finally, she mustered up her courage and knocked on her neighbor¡¯s door. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only After a long time, the man opened the door. Jiang Xinxin was stunned as she stared at how the man looked now. He must have been taking a shower just now. He was only wearing a loose bathrobe. His hair was wet and dripping. The gold-rimmed glasses had been taken off, revealing the deep brows and eyes behind the lenses. It made the bridge of his nose even taller and straighter. What shocked her the most was that under the man¡¯s loose bathrobe, his muscles were very obvious. It looked like the lines had been meticulously sculpted. It was unforgettable and she could not take their eyes off him. ¡°Have you seen enough?¡± A cold voice sounded above her head. His voice was saturated with intense displeasure.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Xinxin could only look up and smile at him. Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s face was cold. He tightened the belt of his bathrobe. At the same time, he smoothed his wet hair back, revealing his flawless forehead. He even had such a perfect hairline. Jiang Xinxin secretly cursed herself for being infatuated. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know you were taking a shower.¡± Jiang Xinxin felt her face grow hot. ¡°But, if I say I haven¡¯t seen enough, can you show me again?¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression was no longer cold, but furious. His eyes also darkened. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°When we were in the restaurant, you told me that if I wanted to cooperate, I could come to you for business,¡± Jiang Xinxin said, ¡°But I want to talk about big business. I don¡¯t think I can go through normal channels regarding this decision. I have to come to you directly.¡± Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her as if she was crazy. ¡°How big is the business?¡± ¡°You came back to China to expand the entertainment industry, right?¡± Jiang Xinxin actually started to talk business with him. ¡°You want the copyright of ¡®The Gold-Rush Aristocratic Family¡¯, right? It¡¯s in my hands.¡± ¡®The Gold-Rush Aristocratic Family¡¯ was an epic fantasy novel, and its global sales were very shocking. When Lu Yuanzhi expanded the entertainment industry, the first thing he thought of was to fight for the rights to adapt this into film and television, because the readers of this novel were very loyal, it could help them quickly break into the local entertainment market. The copyright of this novel was not cheap. How could it be in the hands of a little girl like her? ¡°It¡¯s really in my hands,¡± Jiang Xinxin said. ¡°Aside from that, ¡®The Family of Gold Diggers¡¯, ¡®Evil¡¯, ¡®The Holy Son¡¯, and ¡®Smell the Flowers¡¯ are all projects that you have been considering recently.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression turned even colder. ¡°This is a trade secret. Who told you about it?¡± Jiang Xinxin shrugged and said, ¡°There¡¯s no such thing. It¡¯s just that your official account has followed these authors. I guessed it. ¡°Now, can you invite me in to have a chat?¡±Jiang Xinxin blinked. Lu Yuanzhi suddenly felt that his throat was a little itchy, like it had been tickled by a feather. If what she said was true¡­ Lu Yuanzhi thought that it was indeed worth talking about. Therefore, he moved slightly to create a gap. Jiang Xinxin swaggered into the room. The structure of the room was basically the same as the one next door, but it was colder, just like him. ¡°Tell me, who are you?¡± Lu Yuanzhi leaned against the door. ¡°Why do you have so many novel copyrights?¡± Jiang Xinxin did not answer him directly. She walked to Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s wine cabinet and looked at the dazzling array of wine. Her eyes lit up as if she was a little girl who was looking at a Barbie display cabinet. ¡°Do you like this brand of wine too?¡± Lu Yuanzhi frowned slightly. He thought to himself, ¡®What¡¯s wrong with a little girl liking wine?¡¯ ¡°Want to drink?¡± Lu Yuanzhi asked. ¡°Can I?¡± Jiang Xinxin looked at him with a calm expression and a twinkle in her eyes. The tickle in his throat was back. Lu Yuanzhi smiled at her. This smile was like the end of a spring rainfall. It was like the rain had just stopped, and it was extremely gentle. Jiang Xinxin also smiled. She was very obliging. In the next second, Lu Yuanzhi said in an even colder and harsher voice, ¡°You can¡¯t.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Then, he walked to her side and closed the door of the liquor cabinet. Jiang Xinxin was speechless. Was there a need to treat her like a thief? ¡°Then I don¡¯t want to speak to you anymore.¡± Jiang Xinxin pouted and turned to leave. ¡°If you want to cooperate, CEO Lu, join our company!¡± Just as she took a step forward, Lu Yuanzhi, who was beside her, grabbed her wrist.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Which bottle do you want to drink?¡± Lu Yuanzhi spoke through his clenched teeth. Jiang Xinxin, on the other hand, was very pleased with herself. She pointed at a bottle casually. In fact, she did not know much about wine. It was just that she always drank with the elders at home, so she did not know that she had chosen the most expensive bottle casually. Lu Yuanzhi was not worried about the alcohol. He was mainly worried that Jiang Xinxin would get drunk and pose a threat to his personal safety. ¡°Let¡¯s make it clear first. You can only have one drink,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said. Jiang Xinxin felt that he was stingy. No matter what, she was a huge potential partner of their entertainment business, and he was only giving her one drink. But this was okay. She thought that at least he was not chasing her away anymore. Speaking of which, this business deal seemed really sullen, as if she was rushing it. ¡°Miss Jiang, is it?¡± Lu Yuanzhi personally took the bottle and poured half a glass for Jiang Xinxin. He said politely, ¡°Now, Miss Jiang, can you tell me why these copyrights are in your hands?¡± Jiang Xinxin took a sip and said matter-of-factly, ¡°These books are all made by me. Don¡¯t you know that?¡± Lu Yuanzhi really did not know. He had done his homework before coming into contact with this industry. He knew the name Jiang Xinxin, but his knowledge was only limited to her professionalism. Jiang Xinxin was a legend in the IP world. Any book that she handled would be popular! But he did not know that the copyrights of these books was all hers. ¡°I can¡¯t say that it¡¯s mine. It¡¯s more accurate to use the word ¡®cooperative management¡¯,¡± Jiang Xinxin said, ¡°I¡¯ve loved reading novels since I was young. I bought ¡®The Family of Gold Diggers¡¯ when I was fifteen. It wasn¡¯t that popular then.¡± Therefore, the price was quite affordable. Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows. He had underestimated this girl before. ¡°Later on, it increased by many times. Many people wanted to buy it, but I never thought of selling it. I¡¯m waiting for a fated person.¡± Jiang Xinxin looked at him. ¡°President Lu, do you think you were fated to meet me?¡± When she said this, her tone was a little frivolous. Lu Yuanzhi had never been teased in such a tone before. ¡°Why?¡± Lu Yuanzhi took a sip of wine. ¡°You¡¯d like to sexually harass me in the workplace, Miss Jiang?¡± Jiang Xinxin was at a loss for words. This person¡­ She thought to herself, ¡®What kind of environment raised him and gave him such a bad personality?¡¯ ¡®Do you understand flirting?¡¯ Workplace sexual harassment? He made her sound like a greasy uncle. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Jiang Xinxin could hear it. It was not that he did not understand, but he understood too much. This meant that he was deliberately treating her this way. Jiang Xinxin put away her casual attitude and spoke seriously to Lu Yuanzhi about the adaptation of the novel. The book was so popular that the copyright fee was actually secondary, what was more important was the subsequent derivation and other resources that it might attract. Because Jiang Xinxin had more than one top-tier IP in her hands, she was not short on money now. She could just settle down for a few more years, so she was not in a hurry. However, Lu Yuanzhi was obviously not in a hurry. He was not the kind of person who was controlled by others. From the moment Jiang Xinxin showed that she wanted to use these novels to approach him, he had already given up the idea of buying these books. Jiang Xinxin was very smart. She knew how to turn a novel into a top-tier IP, but it was also because of this that whoever had the capital to support could become a top-tier IP ¡ª someone like Lu Yuanzhi, would not go to the extent of selling himself to a little girl just to save some money. Therefore, after Jiang Xinxin finished half the glass of wine, he was going to chase her away. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only However, Jiang Xinxin only drank a few mouthfuls before she gradually felt that something was wrong. ¡°Did you turn on the air conditioner?¡±Jiang Xinxin fanned herself with her hand. ¡°Why do I feel¡­ so hot?¡± Her face was abnormally red, like the sunset on the horizon, so beautiful that it was scorching. Lu Yuanzhi frowned and took her wine glass. He put it to his nose and sniffed it, and his expression suddenly changed. This wine¡­. was actually drugged! Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Looking at the bottle, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression was extremely unsightly. Who had the guts to come to his room and mess with his things? ¡°I¡¯m so hot.¡± Jiang Xinxin¡¯s face was getting redder and redder. Her watery eyes seemed to be covered with a thin film. It was alluring. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She had an innocent look on her face. She had no idea what she was going through. Lu Yuanzhi looked away. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°The wine was drugged,¡± he said. ¡°It must be an aphrodisiac.¡± His expression and tone were extremely calm, as if Jiang Xinxin had just eaten cabbage. Jiang Xinxin was confused. ¡°What?¡± Jiang Xinxin stood up immediately. Her movements were slightly violent. Her blood was rushing in her veins and her body temperature was rising, making it difficult for her to resist. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± She clutched her chest, and her breathing gradually became heavy. Her voice reached Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s ears, and his eyebrows moved almost imperceptibly. It was as if a feather had gently tickled his throat again, making it itchy. Jiang Xinxin was getting more and more uncomfortable. This feeling was very strange. It was as if she had run 800 meters in a frenzy. Not only was her entire body weak, but there was also a strange emptiness that she had never experienced before. She felt cold and hot all over, and she really wanted to be hugged. She looked at Lu Yuanzhi. Lu Yuanzhi was also looking at her, but his eyes were extremely calm, without a trace of distracting thoughts. At that moment, Jiang Xinxin felt that she was a sinful monster who had seduced the son of Buddha. ¡°Lu Yuanzhi.¡± She could not help but call his name. She reached out her hand in his direction, but her foot caught on something and she fell into his arms. Jiang Xinxin sighed when she came into contact with his warm and reliable embrace. She leaned her hot face against his neck. It was so comfortable. She thought that it would be great if he could hug her. ¡°How can I get rid of the effect of the drug?¡±Jiang Xinxin¡¯s voice became weak. ¡°I feel so uncomfortable.¡± Lu Yuanzhi pulled her away and looked at Jiang Xinxin¡¯s misty eyes with his calm eyes. There was a hint of playfulness in his voice. ¡°Miss Jiang, are you finally going to drop the pretences and sexually harass me?¡± Jiang Xinxin did not say anything. She was so pretty. Why did he have to speak so harshly?! Jiang Xinxin was completely speechless. She suddenly felt wronged. ¡°This wine is yours, Shouldn¡¯t you be responsible for it?¡± ¡°It is mine.¡± Lu Yuanzhi helped her up and let her sit on the bed. He stood in front of her keeping a clear distance. He tightened his loose bathrobe again and said in a distant and polite manner, ¡°But I warned you not to drink it.¡± ¡°But I already drank it.¡± Jiang Xinxin pulled his hand pitifully. ¡°I know I¡¯m wrong. I don¡¯t dare to.¡± Lu Yuanzhi looked down at her. She was so cute. Her slightly pouting lips were red, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were red. She looked like a rabbit in heat. ¡°Who would know that there¡¯s something wrong with your wine?¡± Jiang Xinxin took his hand and pressed her hot face against his palm. She rubbed her face against his palm unconsciously and complained as if she was wronged, ¡°You look so serious. Why would there be such a thing in this room?¡± Lu Yuanzhi snorted and thought to himself, ¡®In short, it¡¯s my fault?¡¯ ¡°Help me.¡± Jiang Xinxin rubbed against his body all the way. Her chin was pressed against his firm abdominal muscles. She looked up at him with tears in her big innocent eyes. ¡°Okay?¡± Because he had just taken a shower, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s skin smelled like hazelnut shower gel, which was inexplicably seductive. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Jiang Xinxin felt even hotter. She subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to kiss him. However, he pinched her chin. Lu Yuanzhi almost made her raise her head. His cold eyes looked into hers. ¡°This is what you asked for.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t regret it.¡± After saying that, Jiang Xinxin felt a strong force coming at her. The world spun for a moment, then she was placed on a soft bed.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A wild night! Jiang Xinxin opened her eyes tiredly. She wanted to move her arms, but her whole body felt as if it had been beaten. Her muscles were aching terribly. Especially her waist. She had to use her hands to support herself so that she could barely turn over. The fragments from last night burst into her mind. Jiang Xinxin first froze, and then her face turned red as she crawled under the blanket. What a beast! He looked like a human, but he was so ruthless when he took off his clothes. Jiang Xinxin¡¯s waist was almost broken. She thought that if she really seduced someone in the future, she would die in his hands sooner or later! What should she do? The sound of running water came from the bathroom. It should be Lu Yuanzhi taking a shower. Jiang Xinxin was completely drunk yesterday. Now that she was sober, she did not even dare to imagine his cold face. She quickly wrapped herself in the blanket and got off the bed. She found the clothes that Lu Yuanzhi had casually thrown on the floor and quickly put them on. Just as she was about to run away, she found a trace of scarlet on the pure white bedsheet. It was an eyesore. Jiang Xinxin was embarrassed and ashamed. She simply took off the bedsheet and stuffed it under the bed. Out of sight and out of mind, after all. The sound of the water in the bathroom ceased. Jiang Xinxin was afraid that Lu Yuanzhi would catch her, so she quickly threw down the messy blanket and ran back to the suite next door. As a result, when she made it outside, she realized that she seemed to have dropped her work badge in his room. She had just returned from a business trip yesterday, so her work badge was in her pocket. After so many things had happened, she did not have the time to change her clothes. Her work badge had her company address and personal phone number on it, not that she was trying to keep it a secret. As expected, she really had to drink less alcohol. Jiang Xinxin thought to herself, drinking is bad for business! After taking a shower with a depressed mood, Jiang Xinxin left the hotel. Before she left, she deliberately stuck her head out to look at her neighbor¡¯s door. When she found that Lu Yuanzhi had left, she felt relieved and went downstairs. Li Li drove the ostentatious Maserati and waited for her downstairs. ¡°How was it? How was it?¡± As soon as she got in the car, Li Li asked curiously ¡°Did you succeed?¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡±Jiang Xinxin muttered speechlessly, ¡°You make it sound like I¡¯ve been harboring evil intentions for a long time and wanted to do something bad.¡± She heard Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s words from yesterday in her head at this moment. ¡°Miss Jiang, you¡¯re finally going to drop the pretences and sexually harass me?¡± D*mn it. Jiang Xinxin pinched her aching temples. ¡°It was just an accident, don¡¯t tell others.¡± ¡°F *ck! Sis, you¡¯re really good!¡± Li Li kept shaking her arm. ¡°I told you that with your face, there¡¯s no sin in the world that you can¡¯t do! Only Fu Yan, that idiot, is blind enough to do such a thing.¡± As soon as she mentioned Fu Yan, Fu Yan sent her a message. ¡°Do you have time?¡± Fu Yan still seemed humble. ¡°I want to meet you. Is that okay?¡± Jiang Xinxin¡¯s entire body was aching. When she had reacted in anger, no one wanted to pay attention to her. When she saw his message, she immediately sent a screenshot to Jiang Mingzhu. She also left her a message: ¡°Take care of brother-in-law, sister.¡± Then, she saw that Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s chat box showed that she was typing¡­ back and forth a few times, but not a single word came out. After a long while, Jiang Mingzhu replied, ¡°It¡¯s just a normal meeting between friends. It¡¯s not a big deal, right? Xinxin, don¡¯t always think so much.¡± Whoa! Jiang Xinxin thought to herself, ¡®Her backstabbing skills are really strong!¡¯ Was she mistaken again? Was she thinking too much? Fine, then she would let her see who was lying and who was playing with fire! With burning anger, Jiang Xinxin opened the chat box with Fu Yan and replied, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Xinxin, you finally replied me,¡± Fu Yan said. ¡°I thought you were angry with me. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just wanted to treat you to a meal.¡± After he sent the location, she saw that it was a slightly famous restaurant. ¡°I made a reservation in advance. I wanted to wait for you to come back and take you there to eat. Now, are you still willing to go with me?¡± Jiang Xinxin sneered and replied, ¡°Of course. A good son should be filial. How could father stop you?¡± After that, she first went shopping with Li Li and changed her clothes. After making him wait for three hours, Jiang Xinxin asked Li Li to send her to the restaurant. ¡°Wait for me here. I¡¯ll be out in ten minutes.¡± As she said that, she pulled out the recording application on her phone and strode into the restaurant.. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Fu Yan had been waiting here since early morning, but Jiang Xinxin had not come over yet. From time to time, he would raise his watch to check the time, then turn his head to look at the door. He was getting impatient. It was not until he saw Jiang Xinxin¡¯s figure at the door that he revealed a smile. He stood up and pulled out the chair in a gentlemanly manner. ¡°Xinxin, I thought you weren¡¯t coming.¡± When Jiang Xinxin heard the way Fu Yan addressed her, she felt goosebumps all over her body. The two of them had already broken up. At that time, it had ended so ugly. Now, he was trying to get close to her. Who would believe him if he said that he had no ulterior motives! She did not sit at the spot where Fu Yan pulled out the chair. Instead, she pulled out another chair and sat down there. Her movements were smooth and fluid. ¡°Don¡¯t call me that way. Don¡¯t forget, you and I are no longer a couple.¡± ¡°Xinxin, you wouldn¡¯t talk to me like that in the past.¡± Fu Yan felt a little embarrassed and spoke with some grievance. Jiang Xinxin sneered. ¡°Are you deaf or dumb? Do you want me to remind you again? The two of us have already broken up. Besides, don¡¯t you like my sister?¡± The smile on Fu Yan¡¯s face froze, but he continued to speak with a smile, ¡°Xinxin, you really misunderstood me. I still like you. I have my own reasons for doing this.¡± Jiang Xinxin raised her eyebrows. After spending some time with Fu Yan, she knew very well that Fu Yan would definitely pretend to be pitiful with her. Remembering that she was still recording, Jiang Xinxin went along with his words. ¡°Reasons? What reason could you have? Without me, wouldn¡¯t you be more free and at ease? Isn¡¯t my sister better than me? She¡¯s very rich. Moreover, isn¡¯t it your own choice to be with her? Why are you pretending to be pitiful with me now?¡± Fu Yan¡¯s expression was a little aggrieved as he said, ¡°Xinxin, you¡¯ve really misunderstood me. The person I like has always been you. I¡¯m doing this because I¡¯m preparing to be with you. I¡¯ve previously learned that your family members treat you badly. You can say that they¡¯re very biased. They¡¯ve given 80% of all their shares to your sister. This is unfair to you!¡± ¡°What does that have to do with you?¡±Jiang Xinxin frowned. ¡°This is our family¡¯s business. In the end, aren¡¯t you being greedy for money? You only got together with my sister because she¡¯s rich?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Don¡¯t think so badly of me. I¡¯m also thinking about our future.¡± Fu Yan seemed to be hurt. He looked at Jiang Xinxin as if she was an unreasonable woman who misunderstood his kindness. What nonsense! If it were not for his wicked deeds, she would have been deceived by his acting skills. Jiang Xinxin secretly clicked her tongue. How did she find this person¡¯s personality in the past? She actually dated such a person. It really made her feel regret and shame. ¡°I married your sister just to let her inherit the 80% of the shares smoothly. After I get it, I¡¯ll divorce her immediately so that I can get a portion of the shares. We¡¯ll live together in the future. No matter what, we¡¯ll have security and won¡¯t worry about money¡± Jiang Xinxin was speechless by Fu Yan¡¯s logic. Did this person want to divorce her sister and marry her with that portion of the family¡¯s assets? Wouldn¡¯t that be using her family¡¯s assets to marry her? Putting aside whether she agreed or not, based on Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s personality, would she really like him, to the point of being incurable, and then willingly hand over the shares she held? Did he really treat others as fools? This person clearly had such an outstanding uncle who was so talented in business, so why did his actions not resemble the Lu family at all? Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She thought that Fu Yan¡¯s idea was just wishful thinking, but she was still recording, and she had to continue pretending. ¡°Is this your plan? It sounds like you¡¯re really thinking about our future.¡± Fu Yan heard her question, and he thought that she had the same idea as he did. ¡°Of course, Xinxin, I spent so many years of my youth with you. Of course I¡¯ll always like you and be on your side! ¡°I am just putting on a show for others. You have to believe me ¡ª you just have to wait patiently. When I get part of the family assets, we can be together forever! However, I may have to make you suffer for a while and let you watch me and Jiang Mingzhu get married.¡± As he said that, he reached out his hand with an apologetic expression, like he wanted to hold Jiang Xinxin¡¯s hand. Jiang Xinxin was really amused, and she had no interest in continuing to act with this person! So he wanted to be a two-timing partner! She no longer respected him! ¡°Do you really think I care about that little bit of property? And you want me to be your secret lover? How can you dream up such a thing and treat me like a damsel in distress? You¡¯re pretty good at two-timing. Go to h*ll, you stinky b*stard!¡± As she spoke, Jiang Xinxin immediately stopped the recording sent the file to Jiang Mingzhu. Now that there was a recording as evidence, she wanted to see what else Jiang Mingzhu would say. She wanted to see if she would calmly reply to her, ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡±. It was a pity that she could not see her expression with her own eyes. That would have definitely been fun. Fu Yan felt Jiang Xinxin¡¯s sudden outburst of emotions and was a little stunned. Then, he saw her take out her phone. The phone interface showed that she was recording! He immediately understood what was going on, but there was no time to stop her. He could only let Jiang Xinxin send the recording to Jiang Mingzhu. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Jiang Xinxin, this is how you treat me when our future is at stake?¡± He stood up immediately and was very angry. He even wanted to intimidate Jiang Xinxin. Unfortunately, Jiang Xinxin looked at him like he was a clown, jumping around helplessly. ¡°What? You called me ¡®Xinxin¡¯ just now, but now you don¡¯t?¡± Jiang Xinxin put her hand on the back of the chair lazily and narrowed her eyes, like a little fox who had succeeded in her plan. Seeing the frozen expression on Fu Yan¡¯s face, she admired it for a while and felt that it was meaningless to argue with such a person, so she left immediately. However, before she left, she deliberately said in a coquettish voice, ¡°Brother-in-law, if you have time, you should go and comfort sister. I wonder if sister will feel sad when she receives this recording.¡± After Jiang Xinxin and Li Li left, Fu Yan immediately called Jiang Mingzhu, he explained to her about the recording. ¡°Mingzhu, I didn¡¯t expect Jiang Xinxin to be such a vicious woman. Not only did she want to seduce me, but she also invited me out. She deliberately led me to say those words that would make people misunderstand. She even edited those words and sent them to you to sow discord between the two of us. ¡°Mingzhu, my true feelings for you can be seen by the sun and the moon. Don¡¯t doubt me just because of a fake recording like this. I¡¯ve always liked you. That ugly woman has such a vicious heart. I won¡¯t like her.¡± If Jiang Xinxin was still here.., she would definitely sigh that Fu Yan and Jiang Mingzhu were really a good match. Jiang Mingzhu would also pin the blame on someone else, even when that person did not do anything wrong. The two of them were made for each other, there were two less disasters in this world. The funniest happened after Jiang Xinxin had finished shopping with Li Li at the mall. When she returned home, she received a call from her father.. As soon as the call was connected, her father questioned her as if she had done something wrong! Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Jiang Xinxin, if you have nothing else to do, hurry up and get back here. I haven¡¯t settled the score with you for messing up your sister¡¯s engagement party before, so why are you seducing your brother-in-law now?¡± Jiang Xinxin was a little stunned by her father¡¯s words and did not understand what he meant. ¡°What seduction? Why would I be seducing that suck-up Fu Yan?¡± ¡°What suck-up? That¡¯s your brother-in-law! And who knows what you¡¯re trying to do?¡± Mr. Jiang was very angry, ¡°I think you just can¡¯t stand seeing your sister happy. Otherwise, why would you ask your brother-in-law out? You even deliberately said those misleading words to make your sister misunderstand, and now she¡¯s still upset! Let me tell you, Jiang Xinxin, the matter between your sister and him has already been settled. Even if you say that you really have a relationship with him, that¡¯s in the past. Don¡¯t think about it anymore.¡± Jiang Xinxin was so angry that she laughed. It was clear Fu Yan that did not care about human decency and just wanted to cheat on her. She was only telling this to her stepsister. When did she become the one who seduced that dog, Fu Yan? When she thought about how her father had mentioned her stepsister just now, it was most likely because those two women were whispering nonsense in his ear, crying about how pitiful they were and how badly she bullied them. She really did not understand. She was clearly her father¡¯s biological daughter, so how could she never be comparable to that stepsister in his eyes? When her father saw that she did not reply, he thought that she was listening to him, so he continued to lecture her. ¡°Your sister¡¯s marriage is related to our family¡¯s honor. If this news spreads, our family¡¯s business will also be affected.¡± ¡°Affected?¡± Jiang Xinxin snorted, ¡°Is this still about our family¡¯s business? Do you really treat me as your family?¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°What do I mean? You¡¯re planning to leave 80% of the family business to Jiang Mingzhu, and you¡¯re asking me what I mean?¡±Jiang Xinxin did not want to show this so-called father any respect. Mr. Jiang did not say anything for a long time. ¡°Jiang Qian, you¡¯re my father, not hers! And don¡¯t forget, this company was founded by my mother. Are you so eager to give it to someone else and ask for my opinion as your biological daughter?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Shut up! Do you even see me as your father?! You¡¯re talking to your father like this?¡± Mr. Jiang was a little angry. On one hand, it was Jiang Xinxin¡¯s disrespect for him, and on the other hand, Jiang Xinxin had hit the most vulnerable point in his heart. Anyone who was familiar with the Jiang family¡¯s business knew that these companies were all built by a woman, and Jiang Qian had always lived under the protection of his wife. At the beginning, Jiang Qian might have felt that his wife was capable, and he had never been proud of this matter. He was also a man. The distance between them made it harder and harder to accept. For a period of time, he could only look for a sense of existence in the world of debauchery. Although Jiang Xinxin¡¯s mother had passed away, whenever someone brought up this subject, he would feel like they had just stepped on his face. ¡°Yes, you are my father, but the things you have done make me feel that I am not your daughter at all!¡±Jiang Xinxin said aggrievedly, ¡°You are clearly my father, why have you always been biased towards other people¡¯s daughters since I was young?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Jiang Qian roared loudly, causing Jiang Xinxin¡¯s eardrums to hurt even through the phone. ¡°You¡¯re my biological child, and your sister is also my biological child. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done anything wrong. You are just looking for a reason to blame me for everything!¡± ¡°You! You said that you¡¯re Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s biological father?¡± Jiang Xinxin could not believe it.. ¡°So, when my mother was still alive, you were with that woman?!¡± The mistress¡¯s daughter was a few months older than her! Well, this so-called father was really incompetent! Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation No wonder he loved Jiang Mingzhu since she was young. It turned out ¡ª Jiang Mingzhu was the best evidence of Jiang Qian¡¯s marital infidelity! Not only did he have an affair, but after her mother died, he could not wait to marry that woman and be with their illegitimate daughter! Then did his feelings for her mother mean anything? What about her? Jiang Xinxin only felt her heart ache as if it was being squeezed, and there was a stifled breath in her chest. Outsiders might think that Jiang Qian was an honest and good-natured man who cared about the family, but now it looked like he was just a scumbag like Fu Yan! He clearly did not have any feelings for her mother, but he still pretended to be affectionate on purpose. He pretended for so many years, and even their daughter was kept in the dark. If he had not said it himself today, she probably would never have known about this! ¡°Jiang Qian! You are not a human!¡±Jiang Xinxin hung up the phone directly. She was so angry that she wanted to throw the phone. She sat alone on a bench by the roadside, thinking about all these years. Jiang Qian was actually just like any other person to her. He only knew how to send money to her and did not give her much. But compared to what he did for Jiang Mingzhu, the difference was obvious. For her birthday, Jiang Mingzhu wanted to go to the most luxurious hotel in the city and book a table full of Manchu-Han banquet. The whole family was happy. What about her? On her birthday, Jiang Qian would remember to prepare a small cake for her. If he did not remember, he would treat it as if nothing had happened. Sometimes, when Jiang Mingzhu achieved something or made some progress, a birthday celebration for Jiang Xinxin would also end up becoming a celebration for Jiang Mingzhu. She had never cared about these things before. She thought that they had just started a new family at that time and needed to get used to each other. She even thought that her father and stepmother should have done these things to get along with each other after reuniting the family. Therefore, she always let Jiang Mingzhu go. This time, she even snatched her boyfriend away. In her heart, she thought that Fu Yan was a jerk and that she would not be happy with him. She had never thought of falling out with Jiang Mingzhu. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only She blamed herself for being too stupid. She had been treated so heartlessly by her family. She did not know that these people were secretly coveting the assets that her mother had created. She was clearly the heir to the family business, but Jiang Qian had actually handed over 80% of the business to Jiang Mingzhu in advance to prevent her from inheriting it. He wanted to transfer these shares ahead of time! If this was not to prevent her from inheriting the family business, then what was? To be honest, she really had not thought of inheriting the family business before. She liked her current job. There was no need for her to work hard and manage the expenses of the whole family. But she did not want to give the things that her mother had worked so hard to create to such a disgusting group of people. She believed that her mother would be in heaven and would not allow such a thing to happen! Since she did not want it, rather than letting these people get what they wanted, she might as well give it to others. With this, she could cooperate with others and gain something. She wanted to see Jiang Qian¡¯s hopes of annexing the company turn to dust. She wanted to see how he would look after he learned that he had lost everything. Would the mother and daughter who were currently living in her house be able to accept it? It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She just wanted to see the reactions of the mother and daughter who now lived so luxuriously. She imagined them being so close to getting what they wanted, then getting kicked down. What kind of expression would they have when they fell into a bottomless pit? As a facilitator and bystander, she would definitely feel happy and get her revenge ¡ª Jiang Qian, Zheng Hui, Jiang Mingzhu, Fu Yan¡­. She would not forgive any of these lunatics who ruined other people¡¯s lives! Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation According to Jiang Xinxin¡¯s understanding, the Jiang family did not have many opponents. Only Lu Yuanzhi might have some motive¡­ but when she thought back on what happened before, she realized that she had never seen him. If he was already so cowardly, wouldn¡¯t he be even more cowardly if he saw her? However, the other party was also clear about her identity. Moreover, if she really wanted to take down the Jiang family¡¯s family business, without the help of outsiders, it would be impossible for her to succeed on her own. Moreover, Lu Yuanzhi had many companies under him. It seemed that his main business was also in the entertainment industry, which made him a perfect match for the Jiang family. Since he could expand the company, his connections must be good. In addition, this person was Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s uncle. He could also ask him to help ruin Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s marriage. It was killing two birds with one stone! It was him! She quickly contacted him and wanted to cooperate with him to wipe out the entire Jiang family! She was just about to look for Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s number from her phone, but she realized that she did not have it at all! Thinking back to the first night they met, it seemed that she really did not have any of Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s contact information. In other words, unless Lu Yuanzhi contacted her now, the two of them would still be strangers. Jiang Xinxin wanted to cry, but she had no tears. Fortunately, she had an omnipotent best friend, so she called Li Li. ¡°Li Li, your brother has Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s contact information, right?¡± Li Li was lying on the sofa watching TV. When she received Jiang Xinxin¡¯s call, her attention was still fixed on the drama. She nodded and said, ¡°Yes.¡± But then she was a little puzzled. ¡°Haven¡¯t you already settled him? Why are you still looking for his contact information?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a long story.¡± Jiang Xinxin smiled bitterly. ¡°Baby, can you ask your brother to help push it? I¡¯m Looking for Lu Yuanzhi for an urgent matter!¡± ¡°Oh? What urgent matter? How urgent is it? Tell me,¡± Li Li said with a gossipy smile, after being fobbed off by Jiang Xinxin, she said, ¡°Then wait a moment. I¡¯ll go ask my brother.¡± Not long after, Li Li returned the call. ¡°Xinxin, my brother said no.¡± Jiang Xinxin sighed. She knew it would not be that easy. After all, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s reputation was on the line. If it was not something life or death, who could guarantee anything? It seemed that she could only rely on her own efforts. ¡°I feel that I don¡¯t understand,¡± Li Li complained, ¡°Isn¡¯t his business just a little bigger? He looks down on people so much. If it was someone else pushing clients to me, I would be more than happy! Is he a little fairy who eats nectar and drinks dew? He won¡¯t even give me his contact details,¡± Li Li mumbled. She heard her brother talking behind her. ¡°Don¡¯t talk bad about others behind their backs. It¡¯s impolite.¡± Then, Li Shuo took the phone from his sister. ¡°Jiang Xinxin, it¡¯s not convenient for me to give Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s personal phone number. After all, it¡¯s a matter of personal privacy, and he personally pays great attention to this aspect.¡± Jiang Xinxin was also somewhat aware of Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s fussy character, so she expressed that it was understandable. After all, there were too many people who used their position to do bad things. It was normal for someone in his position to be a little more cautious. ¡°However, if you have any business with him, Miss Jiang, I can give you his assistant Secretary Chen¡¯s phone number.¡± Li Shuo deliberately emphasized the word ¡°business¡± to remind Jiang Xinxin of it. Even if there were any problems in the future, Lu Yuanzhi would not take it out on him. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Secretary. Well, as long as she could get on this ship, it would not matter how she got on! Hence, she thanked Li Shuo and got Secretary Chen¡¯s contact information from him. Jiang Xinxin knew that this matter was risky, but she had to achieve her goal. In order to prevent herself from regretting her actions, Jiang Xinxin called her immediately. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Jiang Xinxin. I¡¯d like to talk to President Lu about the copyright contract¡­¡± Jiang Xinxin deliberately did not say that she wanted to contact Lu Yuanzhi. She only said that she knew that they were following up on the copyright of the ¡®Gold-Rush Aristocratic Family¡¯, therefore, she had to go to the company to discuss it in detail. Secretary Chen obviously knew that this was the company¡¯s main business at the moment, so he was quite polite to her. ¡°Okay, then I will arrive at your company on time this Friday to discuss the cooperation.¡± After ending the call, Jiang Xinxin let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, with the reason for the cooperation, she finally had a chance to meet someone. Now, she had to seize this opportunity. In order to leave a good impression on the person, Jiang Xinxin specially put on makeup to make herself look beautiful. On Friday, she showed up at the floor of the Lu Corporation wearing gorgeous make-up and business attire.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Secretary Chen looked at the lady who came in. Although he had confirmed that she was the lady who came to talk about a partnership, he still did not want to believe it. She came to talk about a partnership, and she did not even bring a contract and a proposal? Moreover, she had heavy makeup on her face. Once he saw this, he was sure that she had no intention of establishing a partnership. Maybe she heard of their boss¡¯s name and came here to seduce him! Secretary Chen had seen many people like this, and many of them were young ladies wearing designer clothes. In the end, his boss rejected them all. As for this person in front of him¡­ Secretary Chen felt that he would end up like those people. There would be no exceptions, so he did not hesitate too much and let her wait there. Anyway, these people were impatient and would leave eventually. Jiang Xinxin had been patiently waiting there at first, but she did not expect that after an hour, Secretary Chen still had yet to call her. She was not stupid, and noticed Secretary Chen looking at her strangely when he left. It was obvious that he thought she was someone who wanted to seduce people. Jiang Xinxin was not at a disadvantage, and she did not want her plan to be aborted before it was implemented. She went straight to Secretary Chen in the conference room and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your president?¡± Secretary Chen was a little surprised when he saw her, and then he said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. The secretariat needs to go through your project first before it can enter the final approval process, but our employees are busy with other things right now¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Xinxin raised her hand and looked at the time. ¡°Secretary Chen, I don¡¯t care when your final approval process ends. I still have other things to do in two hours. I¡¯ll wait here for another half an hour. If Lu Yuanzhi can¡¯t come, then our partnership will have to be discussed separately.¡± Secretary Chen then realized that she had picked the wrong person. If what she said about the partnership was true, he would have brought a great loss to the company by neglecting the potential partner. He immediately apologized to Jiang Xinxin, then went to Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s office and knocked on the door. ¡°President, there¡¯s a very important client outside who wants to meet you.¡± Lu Yuanzhi did not even raise his head. His eyes were fixed on the document in front of him, and he looked a little annoyed. ¡°Secretary Chen, what¡¯s your level of authority?¡± Secretary Chen was at a loss for words and was about to explain. Lu Yuanzhi took a moment to look up at him. ¡°Second only to the department director. If you think you can jump levels to me without the approval of the secretariat, I think it¡¯s necessary to adjust the distribution of authority.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°I¡¯m sorry, president. The meeting this time is indeed not part of the process, but out of the ten film and television topics we have previously proposed, six of the copyrights are in the hands of Miss Jiang.¡± Secretary Chen braced himself and said, ¡°Moreover, her attitude is very tough. She clearly said that she wants to negotiate with you, and the authority for this business is indeed above mine, so¡­ do you want to meet her?¡± Secretary Chen said carefully, he was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would lose his job. Lu Yuanzhi finally raised his head and asked, ¡°Is her surname Jiang?¡± Secretary Chen¡¯s face was full of shock and admiration as he quickly answered, ¡°That¡¯s right. Jiang Xinxin is a well-known IP buyer in the industry. She specifically interacts with novel writers and the novel companies. She is also a film adaptation planner. She has already produced many S-class movies and TV shows.¡± When Lu Yuanzhi heard this name, he was a little interested. After all, the cat that sneaked away had left something behind with him. Was she in a hurry to go back? It just so happened that he still had some debts to settle with this person. No matter what, she had taken advantage of him. He definitely could not let her leave so easily. ¡°Invite her in.¡± Secretary Chen felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly brought the person in. Just as he was about to close the door and leave, he heard his CEO say to Miss Jiang, ¡°We meet again, Miss Jiang..¡± Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Yeah,¡± Jiang Xinxin said as she sat down. However, her gaze never left Lu Yuanzhi. Her tone sounded like she was acting coquettishly and complaining at the same time, ¡°CEO Lu, you¡¯re so grand. It¡¯s not easy to get a meeting with you. I¡¯ve been waiting in the conference room alone for more than an hour. I was so lonely. I¡¯m bored to death.¡± Lu Yuanzhi felt a little interested. Was she complaining to him? Was she unhappy that his subordinates had neglected her? Perhaps, what made her even more unhappy was still to come. If she thought that she could do whatever she wanted just because they had had a physical relationship, then she was too naive. Therefore, Lu Yuanzhi did not answer. He only smiled distantly. Jiang Xinxin pursed her lips. She was a little tempted. Lu Yuanzhi was really too handsome! Because he was in his own company, and the room was relatively hot, Lu Yuanzhi only wore a shirt. The two three buttons on his chest were not buttoned up, revealing his collarbone. The shirt was also a little tight, making his muscles look prominent. His black hair was unkempt, adding to his charm. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were deep and bottomless. If one looked at him for a long time, they would be unknowingly mesmerized, and one could not help but approach him. Jiang Xinxin¡¯s face was slightly red. Seeing this person reminded her of the crazy night, and she could not help but recall it. Especially the gold-rimmed glasses he wore at work, which added to his refined temperament and attracted her gaze even more. Remembering that she was in his company, Jiang Xinxin came back to her senses and felt a little awkward. The relationship between the two of them was really unclear. It was not friendship or love, but just a one-night stand. Was Lu Yuanzhi really willing to help her? In comparison, Lu Yuanzhi was much more open. To him, Jiang Xinxin and he did not have any conflict of interest, and this person was quite interesting. Lu Yuanzhi leaned back in his chair, raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°If your partnership refers to the unfinished business last time, Miss Jiang, then I can officially respond to you. There¡¯s no need for this matter¡­¡± ¡°No! I¡¯m not here about the previous matter.¡± Jiang Xinxin sat up straight. ¡°The purpose of my visit this time is much more important than the previous copyright issue. It¡¯s related to the interests of your company.¡± Lu Yuanzhi was a little curious and gestured for her to continue. ¡°I have a film and television company and have done many popular dramas in the industry. For example, ¡®Pink Lovers¡¯ and ¡®Under Qingcheng Mountain¡¯. You should have heard of them, right? I wonder if you¡¯re interested in these, CEO Lu,¡± Jiang Xinxin said. ¡°Why? Is the Jiang Corporation planning to sell these scripts? As far as I know, the Jiang Corporation has already filmed these things. Currently, they are only waiting for the release. To me, they are of no use.¡± Lu Yuanzhi frowned slightly. He felt that her sincerity was far from enough. There should be a limit to her fooling around. Even if she did not know her own limits, she should know the strength of the Lu Corporation. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°You misunderstand me. I wanted to ask if you¡¯re interested in the Jiang Corporation.¡± Jiang Xinxin was afraid that he would chase her away in the next second. ¡°If you set up a new film and television department, it will take time to form a production team or a distribution team. The minimum timeline is half a year, and the maximum is unlimited. ¡°Based on my understanding of the Lu Corporation, you have always been fast and efficient. And building your own team is not as fast as acquiring a company that has already achieved results.¡± Lu Yuanzhi felt that he was missing something. He could understand every word she was saying, but it was difficult to understand her overall intended message when he put the words together. She wanted the Lu Corporation to buy the Jiang Corporation? If he remembered correctly, this Miss Jiang came from the Jiang Corporation. The Jiang Corporation could be said to be their family business. Could they just give it up so easily? Or was this matter a trap? Moreover, the person in charge of the Jiang family was not this Jiang Xinxin, but her father. Was it really okay for her to directly promise the company? ¡°Miss Jiang, may I ask one more question? Is this really your company?¡± Lu Yuanzhi asked as if it was nothing. Jiang Xinxin only felt that this person was really sharp and difficult to deal with. She had said it in a vague manner, but he was able to find the loophole in it in an instant. However, perhaps it was because she was working with such a person that she felt more assured. ¡°CEO Lu, don¡¯t worry. Even if it¡¯s not now, it will be soon.¡± ¡°I would like to hear the details.¡± Lu Yuanzhi shrugged, motioning for her to continue.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The Jiang Corporation was founded by my mother, and I am the only legal heir,¡± said Jiang Xinxin. ¡°Sooner or later, the Jiang Corporation will be mine.¡±However¡­ There was a situation now. Although she was the legal heir, Jiang Mingzhu was also Jiang Qian¡¯s child. If he really transferred all the shares to Jiang Mingzhu, then she would have nothing left! Therefore, she had to connect the Jiang and Lu companies before the transfer of the shares. She was sure that Jiang Qian would be greedy for the money the Lu Corporation would invest. Once he began to hope for the Lu Corporation to inject capital, he would stop the transfer of the shares, then she would have a chance. Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows, feeling like it was getting more ridiculous. Business was not like playing house. He thought that he was not stupid enough to give away a large sum of money just because a girl was cute. ¡°Then what do you need me to do, Miss Jiang?¡± ¡°I need you to invest and buy Jiang Corporation for me.¡± What else did Lu Yuanzhi not understand? For some reason, Miss Jiang wanted to destroy her family¡¯s business, so she needed him, an outsider, to make some investments so that her plan could be implemented smoothly. However, there was no profit, so he would not make a move. Could it be that Jiang Xinxin thought that the one-night stand they had would make him agree? Jiang Xinxin clearly understood the pros and cons of this, and she knew that no one would be willing to be a fool. She also would not treat Lu Yuanzhi as a fool. Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi was still unconvinced, Jiang Xinxin offered other conditions, ¡°If you are interested, I can give you ¡®The Gold-Rush Aristocratic Family¡¯ for free. I can also get the author to cooperate with the promotion, or even let the author participate as the chief screenwriter.¡± Lu Yuanzhi was very proficient in negotiation and knew that this might be the limit of Jiang Xinxin¡¯s conditions at the moment. To be honest, these conditions looked very tempting, but he did not let these benefits get to his head. The key to this matter was that Jiang Xinxin could ensure that the Jiang Corporation would be sold. ¡°Miss Jiang, you have offered such a favorable conditions. Are there really no other requirements?¡± Jiang Xinxin originally wanted to ask his useless nephew to leave Jiang Mingzhu, but she could not bring herself to say it. She felt that she was still not used to drawing a clear line with that family. Even her current motivations were more about herself. However, she knew clearly how Jiang Mingzhu usually treated her. It had already come to this point, why would she continue to help her? Moreover, between the two of them, one was a useless man and the other was a scheming b*tch. The two of them were a perfect match. The two of them should be together forever! Therefore, she changed her mind. ¡°There are no other conditions. I just need you to help me snatch Jiang Corporation.¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, your conditions are indeed very attractive, but I¡¯m a businessman. Besides valuing profits, I value risk more. How can you guarantee that Jiang Group will sell their company?¡± ¡°I have a way,¡± Jiang Xinxin promised. ¡°Oh? I really admire your straightforward personality, Miss Jiang.¡± Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows again. He said, ¡°But as far as I know, Jiang Corporation is on the rise. Under such circumstances, it¡¯s impossible for Jiang Group to sell.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°That¡¯s only in the eyes of outsiders. Moreover, the internal structure of Jiang Group is not monolithic. As long as it¡¯s broken from the inside, there¡¯s a chance of success,¡± Jiang Xinxin pressed. Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s face was slightly cold. ¡°The methods you can think of are the most common methods of commercial warfare. I can also think of them. They are not much. However, if the reputation of the Jiang Corporation drops or the number of key personnel drops, or if the Jiang Corporation loses its current value, why should I buy it? ¡°It can¡¯t be. Miss Jiang, do you think that the little friendship between you and me is worth me trying to be your hero?¡± Lu Yuanzhi spread his hands. Jiang Xinxin was at a loss for words. To be honest, she had only come into contact with authors and copyright owners. Everyone was very kind and polite. She had never come into contact with a businessman like Lu Yuanzhi. She began to regret her actions. She had thought Lu Yuanzhi was too friendly. However, this person had no feelings at all! Negotiating with him was no different from asking for the skin of a tiger! What made her feel even colder was what Lu Yuanzhi said next, ¡°But you have reminded me that I can directly poach the senior management and production team of the Jiang Corporation. This way, I don¡¯t have to take over the mess of the Jiang Corporation, and I can also quickly build a dedicated team in a short time..¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Lu Yuanzhi said this, he lowered his gaze, as if he had really thought about it carefully before coming to this conclusion. However, this was not what Jiang Xinxin wanted to see. ¡°CEO Lu, please don¡¯t joke around. Moreover, if CEO Lu really does this, the Lu Corporation will get many benefits in the end.¡± Although Jiang Xinxin said this, she was not confident about it. She really did not expect Lu Yuanzhi to be such a dangerous person. Even now, she was regretting seeking out Lu Yuanzhi. This person was simply a devil. He actually thought of such a method. If she were to deal with him in the future, what should she do? Jiang Xinxin felt a chill, but there was no turning back. Since she had already entered this door, there was no chance for her to regret. She had to be prepared. Even if the Jiang Corporation really ceased to exist in the end, she would not regret it. To ask for the skin of a tiger, one had to be prepared to be eaten by a tiger. At the very least, this was much better than putting the business that her mother had created in the hands of a heartless person. ¡°I never joke.¡± Although Lu Yuanzhi was speaking with a smile, his eyes were more serious than before, and he looked to be scheming. Jiang Xinxin was even more worried, but then his words dispelled some of her doubts. ¡°But this is only a method that I will use if you¡¯re unable to fulfil your promise, Miss Jiang. After all, you¡¯ll be assisting me, so I can save a lot of time and energy.¡± ¡°Then, do you agree to the partnership between us?¡± ¡°It can only be said to be temporary. After all, the premise of our cooperation is that you can complete your own task. After all, it is not an easy thing to let the Jiang Group accept this merger.¡± Jiang Xinxin was quite clear about this matter. If she did not let Lu Yuanzhi see the great potential benefits, he would not have agreed to it. After all, people like them would not act unless they saw something in it for them, so she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll handle this matter properly. You don¡¯t have to worry about it. ¡°I also hope that you will keep your word and give me everything that you promised after the matter is done, President Lu. ¡°In that case, can we have dinner together now?¡± Seeing that the matter had been settled, Jiang Xinxin felt much more relaxed. Even the tone of her conversation with Lu Yuanzhi had a hint of coquettishness. She was already very beautiful. Coupled with her cuteness, she gave people a feeling that they could not help but want to get close to her. She was like a gentle and harmless kitten, rubbing against the things she liked. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only However, Lu Yuanzhi was not fooled by these things. Instead, he hit the nail on the head. ¡°I didn¡¯t promise you anything because in my opinion, you are not suitable for management. I can help you get Jiang Corporation, but after I snatch it, who will manage is still up for discussion.¡± Jiang Xinxin did not expect him to be so straightforward. However, she did not like doing these things, because it did not match her original intentions. Her dream was to buy all the novels she liked and make them into movies to let more people know about outstanding works. The reason why she came to seek refuge with Lu Yuanzhi was partly to get close to him, and partly because she did not want her mother¡¯s hard work to be taken away by a group of heartless people. Perhaps when she really took back the Jiang Corporation from Jiang Qian, she would find an agent who could manage it. ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Xinxin did not hesitate at all. She smiled at him and said sweetly, ¡°Deal.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he said to her, ¡°Since this matter has been resolved, shouldn¡¯t we talk about the two of us?¡± Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Xinxin did not understand at first, but when he waved a name tag at her, she came to a sudden realization. Then, her face immediately turned red. He was holding the tag that she had lost in the room that day, and on it was her contact information. ¡°Miss Jiang, running away after sleeping with someone¡­ Did you not ask for my opinion?¡± He suddenly came closer, and his tall body gave off a sense of oppression. It was as if she would be swallowed completely if she refused him. Jiang Xinxin was already a little numb and did not know how to react at all. When Lu Yuanzhi gave her some space, she took the opportunity to slip out and quickly ran out of the door. However, before she reached the door, she heard Lu Yuanzhi calling her from behind. ¡°Miss Jiang, there¡¯s one more thing. I forgot to mention, if you really want to discuss business, it¡¯s best to ready the specific business proposal before you come. It¡¯s easy to misunderstand if you come empty handed,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said as he sat down. Jiang Xinxin knew that Lu Yuanzhi intended to cooperate with her. He had said this because he was willing to give her a chance. Now that they were back to business, she felt the heat on her face lessen. Thinking that she would continue to contact him in the future, she immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back to do it now. I wonder if you can leave me with an address so that I can send the proposal to you after it¡¯s done.¡± Lu Yuanzhi looked up and raised his eyebrows. He said, ¡°For work matters, you just need to contact my assistant. Don¡¯t you have Secretary Chen¡¯s contact information? Of course,¡± he changed his tone, and there was a hint of ambiguity there now. ¡°If Miss Jiang wants to discuss in detail what happened that night with me, I don¡¯t mind giving you my personal contact information.¡± His words were a little frivolous, which made Jiang Xinxin blush. She quickly said ¡°Goodbye¡± and left without caring if he had heard her clearly. After Jiang Xinxin left, Lu Yuanzhi sat alone in his office. He could not help but shake his head with a smile as he thought of her departing figure. This person was really too interesting. She was completely different from those who tried to use their connections to gain benefits from him. It was not a big deal to work with her. After all, there were not many people who could interest him. Moreover, her suggestion was obviously very disadvantageous to herself. The reason behind this matter might be worth investigating. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lu Yuanzhi only thought about this matter for a while before setting it aside and throwing himself into his work wholeheartedly. After Jiang Xinxin left the Lu Corporation, she received a call from her best friend, Li Li. She was a little delirious because of Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s words. Even her face was red. This phone call at least allowed her to regain her consciousness and escape from Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s words. Li Li called to ask Jiang Xinxin what had happened and if she needed her help. Jiang Xinxin briefly explained the matter, but she did not expect that these few sentences would make Li Li almost explode in anger. ¡°What do you mean by that? So you¡¯ve been bullied all these years?¡± Li Li¡¯s voice was a little loud. Jiang Xinxin could feel her anger through the phone. ¡°Where are you now? Let¡¯s meet up immediately. You can tell me everything and we¡¯ll think of something together,¡± Li Li said indignantly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.. While I¡¯m here, I won¡¯t let them bully you!¡± Chapter 20 - The Aunt Plan, Begin Execution! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Li and she soon met. The moment they met, she could not wait to ask about this matter. ¡°Then what will you do now? You can¡¯t just let them bully you like this, right?¡± ¡°I plan to take back the company!¡±Jiang Xinxin clenched her fists. ¡°That¡¯s something my mother left me. I Can¡¯t give it to them and then let them guard it and live a carefree life.¡± ¡°Okay! I support you! If you need anything, feel free to come to me. Do you have a plan for the next step?¡± Jiang Xinxin paused and then said, ¡°I need to understand this matter for the time being. You know that my position in the family business is not very important. I even suspect that he was the one who deliberately put me in this position in the first place. ¡°Now, I don¡¯t know anything about the company and all the projects. ¡°But don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already secured an investor. He¡¯s willing to invest in me. And no matter what, working with him won¡¯t let Jiang Qian take advantage of me.¡± Li Li knew that she had gone to look for Lu Yuanzhi, and she understood who the investor was. So, she asked in detail about the negotiation process. After hearing it, she could not help but exclaim, ¡°This person is really ruthless. He clearly abused you, but he made it seem like he was showing mercy. As expected of a member of the Lu family, he is really good at business.¡± Jiang Xinxin was silent. Li Li knew that she did not want to talk about this matter, so, she changed the topic of conversation. ¡°I think the key to this matter is not whether your father will be greedy for this investment money. If he is willing to take the bait, then there is nothing to worry about. What you need to do is to find out the internal structure of the company and see if the company is profitable. What projects are the most profitable? Try to break through from the inside. This way, it will be easier for you to take over the Jiang Corporation in the future.¡± Jiang Xinxin lowered her head and pondered. The internal structure of the Jiang Corporation was not complicated, but the problem was that she did not hold any positions of power in the company. Perhaps Jiang Qian was a wily old fox who had already predicted what might happen in the future, or perhaps he had deliberately arranged for her to take a position that was not very important in order to make his plans perfect. She was the manager of the culture and innovation department, mainly responsible for the design of the movie and TV series. In order to keep her away from the company¡¯s finances, Jiang Qian even handed over the management of this aspect to other departments. However, she only needed to look at some design drafts that would be submitted to her after being approved by most professionals. She did not have any real power at all. Previously, she was not interested in this aspect because she was happy that she got an extra salary for nothing. She even felt that this was a manifestation of Jiang Qian¡¯s ¡°love¡± for her. Now, she sensed his true intentions, but she only felt a chill down her spine. ¡®Since you don¡¯t care about me, your biological daughter, I don¡¯t need to care that you¡¯re my father.¡¯ She went back this time to stir up trouble and strive to work overtime for a while, so that those people would feel some pressure and she would strike! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The next day, Jiang Xinxin went to the company early in the morning. She did not expect that the people who usually would not come to work until noon would all be there today. And as soon as she arrived at the company, she found out that all managers and above were having meetings in the meeting room, Jiang Xinxin did not doubt him and hurried to the meeting room. As soon as she entered the meeting room, she heard Jiang Qian talking in front. ¡°Everyone has witnessed Jiang Mingzhu¡¯s ability to work. ¡°Now that the position of director has been vacant, after a joint discussion by the board of directors, we have decided to appoint Jiang Mingzhu as the director of the company. She will be in charge of the three main departments: creative, animation, and copyright. I hope everyone will actively cooperate with her in the future.¡± What? Jiang Xinxin was dumbfounded. He actually proposed to promote Jiang Mingzhu to director! And he even wanted her to be his immediate superior? If she had not come today, she was afraid that everyone would have recommended Jiang Mingzhu to the position in confusion. At that time, even if she found out later, there would be nothing she could do. Jiang Qian was really her biological father but he did not even blink when he caused her trouble.. Did he really think that she was so easy to bully? He wanted Jiang Mingzhu to be the boss, right? Then it would not happen! Chapter 21 - Damaged Pride Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Qian stood there, wanting to hear everyone¡¯s attitude towards this matter, then, he heard a voice coming from the corner. ¡°Indeed, Manager Jiang¡¯s ability to work is obvious to all of us. If I remember correctly, she only stayed in the company for five months. Even an intern needs to be here for six months for her skills to be evaluated, and an official employee needs six months of probation to become a full-time employee. What qualifications does she have to be able to achieve this position?¡± Jiang Qian¡¯s face darkened the moment he heard the voice. He knew that there was no way he was going to brush it off today. As Jiang Xinxin spoke, she slowly walked over from behind the door and appeared in front of everyone. However, Jiang Qian was a wily old fox. Even if Jiang Xinxin appeared in front of him, he would not panic in the slightest. He even calmed down from his initial dissatisfaction and smiled. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Xinxin said nonchalantly, ¡°It¡¯s not important why I¡¯m here. What¡¯s important is where you want to place her and me.¡± As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Mingzhu, who was sitting beside Jiang Qian. Although she looked pure and flawless in her white clothes, the truth was, she could only say that she was a relatively high-class beauty. ¡°Based on seniority and performance, which one of you here is not better than her? Or is it that promotion and salary are not based on seniority and performance, but purely based on who her father is? Then why not let everyone introduce their own hardworking, kind, and great old father?¡± Everyone present was shocked by Jiang Xinxin¡¯s words and looked at the documents in their hands awkwardly. Although Jiang Xinxin had said what they were thinking, it was not as if they did not see the chairman¡¯s expression. If they reacted poorly, they would lose their jobs shortly. When Jiang Mingzhu heard her say this about her, she was a little unhappy. However, since Jiang Qian was here, it was not appropriate for her to argue with Jiang Xinxin. However, she grabbed Jiang Qian¡¯s sleeve under the table, and she seemed to be on the verge of tears. In Jiang Qian¡¯s eyes, it was just that his youngest daughter was not sensible. He felt bad that his eldest daughter was bullied in front of other people. However, in front of so many people, he still had to care about his own pride. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Xinxin, I know you may have questions about this, but Xinxin, you have to know that your sister is also very hard-working in the company. Moreover, she has made a lot of achievements recently, and her skills are not bad. Therefore, it is reasonable to propose a promotion for her.¡± Jiang Qian glared fiercely, as if telling Jiang Xinxin to stop talking. ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Jiang Xinxin raised her eyebrows, she took out the account book that she took from the company in the morning and threw it on the table, ¡°I didn¡¯t say that she didn¡¯t work hard, but she worked so hard and still managed to achieve such results. Is she stupid? Last quarter, the actual sales volume of the copyright department that she was in charge of fell by 60% compared to the previous manager. Who do you think is blind? If you think such an employee has so much value, aren¡¯t you afraid that you won¡¯t be able to convince other people of that?¡± Everyone¡¯s faces turned green. ¡°How did you explain this kind of performance to the board of directors? Or did you not explain it at all? Do you really think that such an employee can be promoted? If I were your leader, I would not even approve of the year-end bonus for you!¡± Jiang Xinxin said with conviction, this was also something logical that many people understood. ¡°If such a person were to become a director, wouldn¡¯t the company¡¯s turnover drop altogether? By then, wouldn¡¯t the company be doomed? Everyone in the company would have to go to h*ll¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Jiang Qian shouted loudly. His pride was severely damaged and he finally could not stand it anymore.. Chapter 22 - Had Hit a Sore Spot? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°We¡¯re in the company, not at home. You¡¯re messing around right now!¡± Jiang Qian said angrily. Jiang Xinxin did not care at all. ¡°Why? You Don¡¯t want me to talk, and you¡¯re saying I¡¯m messing around? Did I say something that hit a sore spot? Otherwise, why would you react so strongly?¡± She turned to look at Jiang Mingzhu, ¡°Also, if you really want her to be promoted to director, that¡¯s fine, but I can¡¯t give her my creative department. I¡¯m afraid that based on her ability, she¡¯ll eventually lead this department astray. When that happens, you¡¯ll be biased and say that I¡¯m not capable enough, and you¡¯ll come looking for trouble with me.¡± ¡°You have to make it sound so unpleasant.¡± Jiang Qian was about to get angry again. He pointed at Jiang Xinxin, wanting to give her a good lecture, but someone had tugged his sleeve. He looked down and saw Jiang Mingzhu looking at him. There seemed to be tears in her eyes. Jiang Xinxin also noticed Jiang Mingzhu. She was indeed good at acting! She clearly had an aggrieved look on her face and was about to cry, but she was able to say such sweet words. ¡°What sister said is not unreasonable. Since I don¡¯t have the skills yet, I don¡¯t want to take this position. If what sister said is true, everyone in the company will think that it¡¯s your mistake, father. I still have a lot to learn. I have indeed let you down, father.¡± Jiang Qian saw his precious daughter being bullied pitifully, and his heart ached even more. He was even more disgusted with Jiang Xinxin¡¯s attitude. Both of them were clearly his daughters, both of them were his children. The eldest daughter was very practical and sensible. In contrast, the younger daughter was very delicate and could not bear the slightest bit of injustice. Now, she even embarrassed him here. He felt even more heartache for Jiang Mingzhu. He lovingly stroked her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You deserve this promotion. She¡¯s your sister. You have to learn to understand.¡± ¡°Father, I really don¡¯t want to be promoted anymore. I thank you for helping me, but I think that with my own efforts, I can get this position. When the time comes, my sister won¡¯t have anything to say.¡± The exchange between the two of them was very familial. It seemed that Jiang Xinxin was an outsider. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, the vice president stood up. ¡°President Jiang, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with what Mingzhu said. If she needs to be assessed, she can take another assessment. I believe that with her ability, she will definitely pass the assessment at the end of this year, and the position of director will definitely be hers. As for the position of director, it will be vacant for the time being. In the future, report directly to me on the performance of these three department managers.¡± Jiang Qian glanced at Jiang Xinxin, who was still standing in the same spot. He knew that if the matter was not resolved now, she would definitely continue to make trouble. After he nodded slightly to express assent, he stormed off in anger. When Jiang Mingzhu left, Jiang Xinxin walked to her side and said in a tone that could only be heard by two people, ¡°Sister, do you think it¡¯s fun? This is only the first time. Consider it your reward for stealing someone.¡± Jiang Mingzhu paused mid-stride. She glanced at Jiang Xinxin for a moment, but she still quickly left with Jiang Qian. The meeting ended hastily. Even the person who presided over the meeting had left, so there was no need for this meeting to continue. The manga department¡¯s manager walked to Jiang Xinxin¡¯s side, ¡°I still have to thank you for today¡¯s matter. If you hadn¡¯t spoken out to stop her, that person would have been our boss. If we report directly to the vice president now, we can be considered for the promotion. As long as we perform well in the future, the vice president will definitely see our hard work.¡± Jiang Xinxin glanced at the woman and continued to tidy up the documents in her hands. ¡°I didn¡¯t help you. I just don¡¯t like her style..¡± Chapter 23 - The Company’s Secret Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The manga department manager knew that the two of them were family, and this matter could be considered a family matter, so it was not easy for her to find out. ¡°Then why don¡¯t we make an appointment? I¡¯ll treat you. How about the restaurant downstairs?¡± Jiang Xinxin glanced at her and knew that she was the manga department manager. She thought that it would be better to make use of this opportunity to learn more about the manga department from her. She agreed readily and the two of them walked together. ¡°Let me tell you something. Don¡¯t tell anyone else.¡± The manga department manager seemed to have been holding it in for a long time. She carefully approached Jiang Xinxin and said in a low voice, ¡°I suspect that there is a problem with the copyright purchase of some manga. You also know that the manga department has a large number of books coming in and out. This way, there is money coming in and out! It¡¯s normal for comics to be good and bad. Most of us would choose some better comics to help publish, but there are always some very trashy books in the company that need to be bought at a high price. If it¡¯s one or two books, it can be said that there¡¯s something wrong with the eyes of those idiots in the copyright department, but there are some books that haven¡¯t been reviewed by us at all.¡± ¡°For example, the previous battle manga. The plot was clearly very repetitive and the quality of the manga was not particularly good, yet it had spent a ridiculously high capital. It was even much higher than the popular girl¡¯s manga, ¡°Here Comes the Wind,¡± that we had signed previously! ¡°The strangest thing was that the flow of the real book was particularly chaotic. It did not even enter the final stage of the review. It was not even delivered for publication. I don¡¯t know where it came from.¡± Jiang Xinxin pretended not to care and listened to her complaints, but in her heart, she took note of this matter. After she went back, she went to look for the vice president who had helped her in the meeting today, she told him straightforwardly, ¡°I found a lot of problems when I compared the results today. I think it¡¯s necessary to let the financial department check the accounts.¡± ¡°Really? What¡¯s the problem?¡± The vice president was very enthusiastic at the beginning, however, after seeing that it was about the comics department, he went around bringing up other topics and started to evade Jiang Xinxin¡¯s concerns. ¡°About this matter!¡± Manager Jiang, you know that our company has been quite busy recently. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no time for the finance department to check this account book now. Why don¡¯t we wait for some time and I¡¯ll let them check it again.¡± He continued, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Jiang Xinxin knew that this matter could not be resolved so easily. She repeated it again, trying to convey to him the importance of this matter. In the end, the vice president was also a little annoyed. ¡°Manager Jiang, in theory, the copyright department¡¯s matters are not under the management of your creative arts department. I said that I¡¯ll get someone to look into it. The matters in the company are far from being as simple as you think. If there are any problems in the future, just bring up the process discretely. Don¡¯t be so rash and open your mouth.¡± Having said that, Jiang Xinxin knew that Jiang Qian must be behind this matter. It was futile for her to continue to struggle with this vice president. She turned around and left, but she did not expect to meet Jiang Mingzhu at the door. Jiang Xinxin did not hide it and said with a cold smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to still like eavesdropping. I wonder what you heard? Have you found something that interests you?¡± Even if she wasn¡¯t in front of Jiang Qian now., Jiang Mingzhu still looked as delicate as a lotus flower. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear anything. I just heard my sister asking about the finance department. Sister, you just need to do your own work well. The finance department¡¯s matters are handled by other people. Do you not trust father?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Was she deliberately digging a hole for her? Was he still mocking her for being nosy? Ordinarily, if Jiang Xinxin had heard this person mocking her like this, she would have been furious and would have retorted. However, she was not angry this time. Instead, she said, ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything bad about my father. This is our family¡¯s business. Shouldn¡¯t I say anything if there¡¯s a problem? Even if I¡¯m being nosy, it¡¯s not my sister¡¯s place to lecture me. You know what I¡¯m like. Since I was young, if you touched my belongings, I would give you a hard time. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that all these years, you haven¡¯t suffered enough to learn your lesson?¡± Jiang Xinxin asked. ¡°You!¡± Jiang Xinxin ignored her and left. She did not call Secretary Chen until she could not see Jiang Mingzhu. She felt that it was necessary to tell Lu Yuanzhi about this. It would be more beneficial for their partnership. However, after the call was connected, Secretary Chen said that Lu Yuanzhi refused to pick up the call and that he was not in the company at the moment. ¡°If you¡¯re in a hurry, Miss Jiang, you can make an appointment for the meeting room in three days. President Lu will have time by then,¡± Secretary Chen said in a faraway tone.. Chapter 24 - Your Little Girlfriend? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Three days later? If that really happened, it would be too late, so he asked in a tough tone, ¡°Where is Lu Yuanzhi?¡± Secretary Chen refused to say anything and just repeated what he had just said. Jiang Xinxin hung up the phone, feeling a little angry. This guy was probably taking revenge for the last time she broke into his office. Even though the two of them were now partners, it did not affect how he treated her. How petty! But did he think she had no other options? Jiang Xinxin turned on her phone and found a contact named Little V. This person was an author she had worked with before. He had multiple jobs and had worked as a hacker before. With his help, she would definitely be able to find Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s location. ¡°Why is this person in the wilderness?¡± Little V sent Jiang Xinxin Secretary Chen¡¯s location, but Jiang Xinxin did not recognize the place. ¡°This is a horse farm, right? It should be a bigger one. I sent you the specific name, you can find it yourself.¡± When Jiang Xinxin rushed over, Lu Yuanzhi was talking to an older person. ¡°Lu Yuanzhi!¡± Her voice attracted the attention of two people. After seeing her, Lu Yuanzhi was a little surprised. He did not expect that the she would be able to find him. He turned around expressionlessly and did not want to talk to Jiang Xinxin at all. The older man also saw Jiang Xinxin and looked at Lu Yuanzhi. He seemed to understand something. He patted Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Since she¡¯s your little girlfriend, hurry up and explain everything. Don¡¯t make her anxious.¡± After he said that, he turned around and left. He rode to the training ground alone. ¡°Since you¡¯re free today, why didn¡¯t you answer my call? We have a partnership. Is this how you treat your partner?¡± Jiang Xinxin followed behind Lu Yuanzhi, she did not stop until he got impatient. ¡°Miss Jiang, if there¡¯s nothing else, you can go back first. This is my time off. I don¡¯t want to use this time to talk about work.¡± Lu Yuanzhi still had a cold attitude. Of course, Jiang Xinxin was not willing to leave just like that. It was not easy for her to find a chance to talk to this person, maybe next time, this person would hide somewhere. ¡°I¡¯m really here for a reason. Moreover, I took a taxi here. There¡¯s no cars here. I can¡¯t leave even if I want to.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lu Yuanzhi no longer paid attention to her. Instead, he got on his horse and left arrogantly. ¡°You!¡± Jiang Xinxin watched him ride away but could not do anything. She could not help but curse him for being unreasonable! It was not easy for her to find an opportunity to discuss the partnership with him. But he said something about his private time. Obviously, he did not want to see her! Since he did not want to see her, she might as well leave. Just when Jiang Xinxin was about to leave, the older man who had talked to Lu Yuanzhi earlier finished his ride and came back. He got down from his horse and smiled as he spoke to Jiang Xinxin. ¡°I saw the two of you chatting just now, and now he¡¯s gone off on his own. Did something happen?¡± Jiang Xinxin faced this person and realized that the distance between this person and Lu Yuanzhi was quite far. She actually did not realize that this person was a retired financial tycoon. However, since this person¡¯s status was not low, could she use this opportunity to make him keep her here? Then, she would think of a way to discuss matters with Lu Yuanzhi. And the best person to stay now was Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s girlfriend! Thinking of this, Jiang Xinxin pretended to be very sad. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that the two of us can¡¯t get along, and he doesn¡¯t want to talk to me either.¡± Her words were half-true and half-false, and her expression was aggrieved. It actually made him feel that the two of them had a close relationship. ¡°This is between the two of us. Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Let¡¯s talk about something else..¡± Chapter 25 - Please Help Me, Okay? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation This big shot was obviously a gentleman. After knowing that Jiang Xinxin did not want to talk too much about this matter, he changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯m also considered a friend of Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s family. He¡¯s also a young man that I admire very much. Not only is his work outstanding, his character isn¡¯t bad either. It¡¯s just that his temper is a little weird,¡± he said. As he said that, he laughed. Jiang Xinxin ridiculed him in her heart. ¡®It¡¯s not a little, his temper is very weird!¡¯ ¡°Today, he came here to accompany me.¡± The man glanced at the back of the horse farm, ¡°But I have a feeling that he wants to ride the horse himself. Otherwise, how could he just run away while chatting with me?¡± Although he was grumbling, Jiang Xinxin knew that he was complimenting Lu Yuanzhi. This kind of situation seemed to only appear in novels. When there was a misunderstanding between couples, the older people would come to mediate. It seemed that he really thought that she was Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s woman. Then, because of some conflict between them, he came here. ¡°Your relationship with him¡­¡± The man wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°As someone older, I can¡¯t say anything. After all, it¡¯s his business.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Jiang Xinxin did not make it clear. She knew that the man had the wrong idea, but this was the only way. If not, he would ask too many questions. Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s personality was very strange. He probably would not explain this kind of promiscuous activity to his elders. In general, they both kept it hidden. ¡°This horse farm is mine. I usually come here with my wife and ride horses here, so I¡¯m quite familiar with it. ¡°Oh right, if you want to ride a horse, there are some of my wife¡¯s clothes you can borrow. Your figure is about the same as hers, so you can try it on.¡± Jiang Xinxin looked at the tall and mighty horse beside her and wanted to give it a try, but she had never learned how to ride a horse. If she really went to ride a horse, it would only cause trouble for others. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t know how to ride.¡± Unexpectedly, the man waved his hand. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t know how to ride a horse. I can ask Lu Yuanzhi to teach you. Considering the relationship between the two of you, you can definitely do it.¡± As he said that, he directly walked towards Lu Yuanzhi. He said something to him and then looked at her from time to time. Jiang Xinxin was a little worried that Lu Yuanzhi would be unromantic and expose her lie at this time. Then, the man would throw her out! While she was fantasizing about some melodramatic scenes, she saw Lu Yuanzhi walking over with a riding outfit. He threw it at her. ¡°Go change.¡± His tone was flat, which surprised Jiang Xinxin and made her freeze on the spot. Lu Yuanzhi saw that she did not move for a long time and looked at her with confusion. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to ride a horse? Why? Do you want to leave now?¡± ¡°Of course I want to!¡± Jiang Xinxin went to the changing room and changed into a riding outfit. She was very excited. This was her first time riding a horse, and it was her first time wearing a riding outfit! She looked at the two belts that were supposed to be tied on her waist, and a thought flashed through her mind. Jiang Xinxin walked out of the changing room and approached Lu Yuanzhi in distress, deliberately not tying her belt. She said, ¡°Help me take a look. How do I tie this belt? I¡¯ve been trying to tie it for a long time, but I still haven¡¯t managed it.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only She leaned forward as if she wanted Lu Yuanzhi to help her. In fact, she wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Lu Yuanzhi. After all, the horse riding outfit was very fitting, and the curves of her waist and her behind were very obvious. It made her look valiant. Coupled with her cute tone, no one would refuse her. Lu Yuanzhi looked at her. From her sparkling eyes to her red lips and her slim waist, his gaze gradually became profound. Jiang Xinxin was very thin. He stood in front of her and the difference in height between the two was very obvious. ¡°Is it okay?¡± Jiang Xinxin saw that his expression had softened, and her voice became sweeter. She blinked and gazed at him. In the end, she saw Lu Yuanzhi chuckle. Then, he said coldly, ¡°Since you can¡¯t even put on clothes properly, then don¡¯t bother.¡± After he said that, he turned around and went straight back to the horse farm. Jiang Xinxin was speechless.. Chapter 26 - I’ll Teach You Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Why are you here? Aren¡¯t you going to accompany your little girlfriend?¡± The older man saw that Lu Yuanzhi was not speaking. He asked curiously, ¡°I¡¯m just an old man. I¡¯m not going to accompany my girlfriend. Is there a conflict between you two? Young people can be so impulsive. As a man, you should not be so inflexible. Learn to be tolerant.¡± He gestured for Lu Yuanzhi to look at Jiang Xinxin. ¡°Your girlfriend has already changed her clothes. Go and teach her. At the same time, nurse the relationship between the two of you.¡± Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi was still unwilling to move, he even patted him on the shoulder, he patted him so hard that he staggered. ¡°Go on! Quickly!¡± Lu Yuanzhi looked at the older man, then at Jiang Xinxin. In the end, he still walked toward Jiang Xinxin. Jiang Xinxin was excitedly choosing horses in the stable. This was her first time riding a horse! Moreover, these horses were all fine breeds and were well taken care of. All of them were sleek and fat. She was just about to touch the noses of a group of snow-white horses when Lu Yuanzhi pulled the back of her collar, pulling her backward. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Jiang Xinxin could not help but exclaim when she heard Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s voice. ¡°You didn¡¯t learn how to ride a horse? I¡¯ll teach you.¡± There was no emotion in his voice, but because of his charming voice, she could not help but pay attention to him. Then, Jiang Xinxin exclaimed. Lu Yuanzhi immediately picked her up and hoisted her onto the horse. Lu Yuanzhi also got on the horse. The two of them rode on the same horse. The horse swayed slightly due to the weight on its body. Jiang Xinxin, who was sitting at such a high spot for the first time, felt a little scared and grabbed the reins of the horse. ¡°Relax.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s voice rang out behind her. It seemed to have a calming effect, and it really made Jiang Xinxin relax. However, in the next second, Jiang Xinxin only felt Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s leg lightly pinch the horse¡¯s side, and the horse under them shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring. ¡°Ahhhh!¡± Jiang Xinxin screamed, and she also grabbed Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s arm out of fear. The horse was running at a faster speed, and it was already bumpy. Jiang Xinxin felt that she was going to fall off, and she did not dare to open her eyes. ¡°Lu Yuanzhi, I beg you, please slow down! Ah!¡± There was a hint of a sob in her voice, but it was not enough to make Lu Yuanzhi take pity on her. He even sped up. Lu Yuanzhi ran two full laps with Jiang Xinxin before they stopped. Jiang Xinxin¡¯s cries echoed throughout the entire horse farm. When he stopped the horse, Jiang Xinxin was swaying from the jolt. Her voice was a little hoarse and she was on the verge of fainting. When she realized that Lu Yuanzhi had stopped, she jumped off the horse without a word. The real feeling of landing on the ground made Jiang Xinxin feel somewhat at ease. However, her legs were a little weak from the shock just now, and her stomach was turning sour. Riding a horse with Lu Yuanzhi was really too scary! Of course, she did not doubt that Lu Yuanzhi did this to take revenge on her. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The man from earlier saw the situation and hurried over. When he saw that Jiang Xinxin could not even stand properly, he could not help but say to Lu Yuanzhi, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to teach her? Why did you make her look like this? She¡¯s just a newbie. Aren¡¯t you afraid that something might go wrong if you lead her straight into a run?¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s face was full of indifference, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°I forgot.¡± The man was disappointed that Lu Yuanzhi did not live up to his expectations. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression that said, ¡°I know I¡¯m wrong, but I won¡¯t change.¡± There was nothing he could do about it. He sighed and walked toward Jiang Xinxin. ¡°Miss, that kid has a temper. Don¡¯t blame him. I¡¯ll ask him to teach you properly again.¡± ¡®Again?¡¯ ¡°No, I definitely won¡¯t let him teach me again.¡± Jiang Xinxin almost could contain herself.. She lay on the ground, cursing him internally! This person must be holding a grudge because he saw through her small attempt to seduce him, and now he was deliberately teaching her a lesson! Chapter 27 - Could Not Help But Do Some Bad Things Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lu Yuanzhi also heard Jiang Xinxin¡¯s answer, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. In fact, because he thought her appearance was too cute, he could not help but do some bad things. However, his expression was still indifferent on the surface, he leisurely rode his horse off into the distance. Soon, it was night time. The older man decided to spend the night in a nearby villa and asked Lu Yuanzhi to send Jiang Xinxin home. ¡°You have to get along well with her this time, do you hear me? Don¡¯t try to play hard-to-get again. You¡¯ll feel bad if you lose your popularity,¡± the man said. Jiang Xinxin was worried when she recalled the horse farm incident from earlier that day. Then, he said to Jiang Xinxin, ¡°When you¡¯re free in the future, come and play with Yuanzhi again.¡± Jiang Xinxin did not dare to do that! Lu Yuanzhi was not someone who could play with her, but he was too embarrassed to say anything out of respect for this man. He only politely said a few words to him before getting into the car. Perhaps it was because she had expended too much energy today, but leaning against the soft seat of Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s luxurious car, Jiang Xinxin quickly fell asleep. She did not even know when she got home. When she woke up naturally, there was only one other person in the car beside her. Lu Yuanzhi had already disappeared. He was really not easy to get along with! Jiang Xinxin thought to herself. Although she said that she wanted to be the scumbag¡¯s aunt, a man like Lu Yuanzhi who only cared about his work was not someone she could control. She could only take things one step at a time. She must not have any unrealistic fantasies about him. She really did not know what kind of person she would be able to form a family with in the future. Jiang Xinxin thought to herself, could it be that she would be lonely for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Jiang Xinxin laughed until the driver spoke to her before she got out of the car. After returning home, Jiang Xinxin sent a message to Secretary Chen. ¡°Please Tell Lu Yuanzhi that I have already completed half of the proposal. I can give it to him next week.¡± Not long after, Secretary Chen gave an affirmative reply. In the next few days, in order to get closer to the real information of the proposal, Jiang Xinxin had been collecting information from all aspects. Especially the matter that the manga department manager had told her last time. There was evidence that Jiang Mingzhu was taking kickbacks. Therefore, she had specially found a list of the latest purchasing rights, hoping to find some clues from it. However, she needed to visit each of them one by one, and she also had to be careful not to expose her true purpose, so she could only do it in secret. Perhaps her luck had not been very good recently. Jiang Xinxin had just walked out of the company when a car honked at her. Jiang Xinxin looked over and the driver¡¯s window rolled down, revealing Fu Yan¡¯s annoying and ugly face. ¡°Xinxin, what a coincidence.¡± Jiang Xinxin was annoyed to death. She glanced at him and realized that the car was a new one. It was probably bought with the money that he had taken from Jiang Mingzhu. It was not cheap either. It was more than 300,000 yuan. However, Fu Yan had mentioned it to her several times before, and it sounded like he wanted her to buy it. She had pretended not to hear it. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only It seemed that it was different to have a rich and generous girlfriend. Jiang Xinxin sighed internally. Jiang Mingzhu was really willing to part with Fu Yan. However, Fu Yan had such a rich uncle. Usually, he would drive a Bentley, a Lamborghini, or a Ferrari. However, his nephew actually had to rely on his girlfriend to buy a car worth more than 300,000 yuan? It was obvious how cold and stingy Lu Yuanzhi was! Thinking of Lu Yuanzhi, Jiang Xinxin remembered that her name tag was still with Lu Yuanzhi. She might as well take this opportunity to get it back. Therefore, she ignored Fu Yan and walked straight past him. At the same time, she called Secretary Chen. ¡°Can you ask your boss if I can have my work card back?¡± Jiang Xinxin deliberately made it sound very important. She even tried to guilt trip the secretary. ¡°Our company has very strict management. You must use your work card to clock in. And if you lose your work card, you have to pay a fine of 500 yuan.¡± A second later, Secretary Chen hung up the phone. Just when Jiang Xinxin was confused and thought that the other party had gone crazy, she received the 500 yuan from Secretary Chen. He said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Jiang. This is the work card money that my boss told me to send to you. Please renew it yourself, Miss Jiang.¡± Jiang Xinxin was at a loss for words.. ¡°Lu Yuanzhi, you¡¯re a real dog!¡± Chapter 28 - Was as Cold as He Was Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Did she want the money for this badge? Not at all! What she wanted was to be able to sit in this person¡¯s car or approach him! But this person actually dismissed her with one sentence? Jiang Xinxin was a little dissatisfied, but she had been in a hurry to beg for their partnership. If she provoked him at this time, all her plans would be ruined. She quickly sent a message to Secretary Chen, with the intention of showing weakness to Lu Yuanzhi through him. Jiang Xinxin: ¡°Secretary Chen, you may not know this, but the badge casing was a gift from my good friend who passed away, so it¡¯s very important to me. I must get it back! Please tell CEO Lu to return it to me!¡± Jiang Xinxin sent a crying face picture that looked very sad. Secretary Chen did not reply at first. Secretary Chen: ¡°Alright, Miss Jiang, please allow me to report this to CEO Lu again.¡± After a long time, Secretary Chen did not reply. Just as Jiang Xinxin thought that Lu Yuanzhi was unwilling to deal with her clumsy lie, a phone call came. Jiang Xinxin picked up the phone and a familiar voice came from the other end. ¡°Miss Jiang Xinxin, you want to get your work card?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Xinxin nodded quickly. ¡°CEO Lu, just give me the address, and I¡¯ll go get it.¡± ¡°Your friend¡¯s gift.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s words contained obvious suspicion. ¡°Is it this sakura badge casing?¡± How could Jiang Xinxin not hear Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s sarcasm? However, this matter was obviously not as important as getting along with Lu Yuanzhi. Since he was willing to call, it meant that he wanted to give her a chance. Jiang Xinxin pursed her lips and tried to pretend to be pitiful. ¡°Yes, yes, so can you be merciful give me back my things, CEO Lu?¡± ¡°You make it sound like I want to keep a badge casing for myself.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s tone was full of helplessness. He directly gave Jiang Xinxin an address. ¡°Go there and wait for me.¡± After he said that, he hung up the phone. He was talking about a high-end residential area. Jiang Xinxin remembered that Li Li¡¯s family lived there. She could not buy a house in that residential area without some power. If she went there, would she be arrested by the security? Just as she was about to ask when he would be back, she received a message from Secretary Chen. It was the password to the door lock. She even added, ¡°Remember not to disturb Niu Niu.¡± Who was Niu Niu? Jiang Xinxin¡¯s eyes widened sharply. Could it be Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s child? Or a female friend who was on good terms with him? Could it be that Lu Yuanzhi already had a girlfriend?! Then why was he still entangled with her?! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only With a mind full of questions, Jiang Xinxin went to the place that Lu Yuanzhi had told her. The security here was very good. After the detailed registration was completed, she would be allowed to enter. Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s single-family villa stood out from the rest of the mansions. It was obviously designed by an expert. Just the fence at the entrance and the courtyard alone had taken a lot of effort. It had a simple style of antique wood, and it was as cold and distant as his appearance, exuding a sense of coldness. Lu Yuanzhi only gave Jiang Xinxin a series of passwords, which should be universal. Therefore, Jiang Xinxin pushed open the low fence at the entrance and walked to the courtyard in front of the villa. She remembered that there was a ¡°girl¡± with an extremely mysterious status in his house, Jiang Xinxin was a little hesitant. Could it really be a girlfriend? Lu Yuanzhi should not be so evil as to ask her to come over and see his girlfriend with her own eyes so that she would give up on him, right? Jiang Xinxin thought in her heart that no matter what, it was better to make things clear since she was already here. If he really had a girlfriend, she would change her strategy on the spot and never think of the aunt plan again! After opening the door with the password, Jiang Xinxin poked her head in and asked carefully, ¡°Niu Niu, are you there?¡± Chapter 29 - Stay Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as she shouted, a cat¡¯s meow could be heard from a house in the distance. Jiang Xinxin subconsciously looked around and saw a two-colored long-haired ragdoll cat running over. It had a mix of white and cream colored fur. It looked fluffy and soft, making her want to touch it. Jiang Xinxin did not just think about it; she even touched it with her hands. She scooped the cat up and only then did she see that the cat actually had a pair of grayish-blue eyes! Its four limbs, paws, abdomen, chest, and the parts of its face were patterned with what looked like the letter ¡°V¡± again and again. Its nose and feet were a soft pink. Jiang Xinxin fell in love with this cat at first sight. Its appearance really suited her tastes. Lu Yuanzhi had specially instructed her not to disturb Niu Niu. Could it be that he was talking about this cat? She could not help but lift up the cat in front of her. She looked at it and asked seriously, ¡°Could it be that you are Niu Niu?¡± As If in response to her, the little cat meowed, making Jiang Xinxin feel as if her entire heart had melted! Perhaps it was because this cat was not used to being hugged like this. After a short while, the cat struggled to run into the house. Jiang Xinxin could not wander around Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s house, so she could only sit in the living room and wait for him to come back. Seeing Niu Niu swaggering around in the living room playing with cat toys, Jiang Xinxin felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, she had come to take a look with her own eyes and confirmed that Niu Niu was only a cat, otherwise, she would have really thought that Lu Yuanzhi already had someone he liked or that he was already married. She did not expect the cold-hearted Lu Yuanzhi to be warm enough to raise a cat, and it was such a cute one at that! It really suited his status as the CEO of the Lu Corporation. When Jiang Xinxin thought of this, she even secretly laughed a few times. Her laughter attracted the attention of the little kitten. The cat that was originally enjoying herself suddenly walked towards her with a cat toy in her mouth, as if she wanted her to play with her. It looked at Jiang Xinxin¡¯s chubby face and seemed confused. She even came forward to rub her body on her leg and Jiang Xinxin¡¯s black pants were soon covered in fur. Her cute and charming big eyes instantly melted Jiang Xinxin¡¯s heart. She could not help but throw the toy ball as if she was playing with a dog. However, Niu Niu did not act prissily at all. She chased after her with a whoosh. She brought it back and pestered her to continue throwing it. ¡°Why do you have the same personality as your master? You look unworldly, but in fact, you¡¯re a dog.¡± Jiang Xinxin carried Niu Niu and was extremely fond of her. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only When Lu Yuanzhi returned home, he discovered that the light was on. The woman he had just talked to was currently sitting on his sofa and playing with the cat. The tool in her hand that she used to play with the cat was the ¡°good friend¡¯s last gift¡± that she had previously mentioned. When she saw Lu Yuanzhi return, Jiang Xinxin realized that she had been here for a long time. It was already dark outside, she immediately wanted to leave. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I stayed at your house for so long. I saw that Niu Niu was lonely, so I stayed to play with her for a while.¡± She did not have the guts to stay in the same room with him anymore. ¡°Yeah, I see that.¡± Lu Yuanzhi took off his tie and looked at the badge in her hand. Jiang Xinxin also realized that she had used her ¡°good friend¡¯s gift¡± to tease the cat, and even Lu Yuanzhi had seen it! She subconsciously kept the badge and wanted to leave immediately. However, she did not expect that Niu Niu¡¯s paws were hooked on her clothes. After painstakingly extricating one paw, another got stuck again. It seemed that she did not want Jiang Xinxin to leave. Lu Yuanzhi also noticed it.. His expression did not change as he asked Jiang Xinxin, ¡°Do you know how to cook?¡± Chapter 30 - Doesn’t She Have Any Common Sense? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Xinxin looked at Lu Yuanzhi in surprise and realized that he was indeed talking to her. ¡°A little, but¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yuanzhi took it from her. ¡°Then stay. Niu Niu doesn¡¯t want you to leave, but you have to stay and cook,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said and walked upstairs. Jiang Xinxin came to her senses. Did he think of her as a servant? Although Niu Niu was very cute and she wanted to stay and play with her, it did not mean that she had to work to pay off her debts, right? Feeling Niu Niu rubbing at her feet, Jiang Xinxin felt her heart go soft. ¡®Forget it, it¡¯s just a meal, right? And I¡¯m here to play with the cat. Let¡¯s just pretend that I¡¯m not losing out.¡¯ Jiang Xinxin bent down to touch the cat, but she heard Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s voice above her head. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you cooking? I want to eat braised pork ribs.¡± ¡®Braised pork ribs? I really want to braise you too!¡¯ Jiang Xinxin cursed in her heart, but she could not take it anymore and said, ¡°Can¡¯t we order takeout?¡± Lu Yuanzhi stood on the stairs and looked at her. Although he did not say anything, Jiang Xinxin could see the dissatisfaction in Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s eyes, it was as if he was saying, ¡°How can you allow such a low-level thing like takeout food into my villa that was designed by a world-class expert, and serve it on my luxurious dining table?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Xinxin went into the kitchen neatly and first looked at the ingredients in the fridge. She found that apart from a few vegetables and meat, his fridge mostly held wine and mineral water. Lu Yuanzhi was probably too busy with his work and did not have time to eat. Then she would just cook a meal for him, as a way to win him over as a partner. Apart from the ribs, she also found a piece of beef. This was an incredible ingredient. She could make another beef pot sticker! Jiang Xinxin first chopped the beef and prepared the ribs, then began to season the beef. During this time, Niu Niu seemed to have smelled the aroma of the food and began circling Jiang Xinxin. Jiang Xinxin did not chase her out when she saw that she was not causing any trouble. However, she did not expect that an accident would happen soon. Jiang Xinxin was busy mixing the noodles and did not have the time to prepare the beef filling, so she did not notice Niu Niu jumping up and sniffing around. The sound of a cat eating could be heard. And that was when Jiang Xinxin realized that she was secretly eating the raw beef filling. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t eat it!¡± Jiang Xinxin quickly carried the cat down and made it spit out the food in its mouth. Human food contained oil and salt, but these were difficult for cats to digest and could easily make them sick. Of course, Jiang Xinxin also knew this. It was common sense, but she had not been paying attention when Niu Niu ate the beef stuffing. ¡°What happened?¡± Lu Yuanzhi heard her shouting downstairs, so he quickly came over to take a look. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Niu Niu just ate this beef stuffing. Will she get sick?¡± Although he saw Jiang Xinxin hugging Niu Niu with a distressed look, it could not stop Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s anger. ¡°What beef stuffing? Is this raw meat?¡± Lu Yuanzhi glanced at the stuffing on the table. ¡°Don¡¯t cats have common sense? Why don¡¯t you put these things further away? Niu Niu has never been fed raw meat before. Moreover, it¡¯s meat from a supermarket. I don¡¯t know how many germs there are in it. What if she gets sick?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Jiang Xinxin was a little helpless. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I wasn¡¯t paying attention and then she took a few bites.¡± Seeing that she was still carrying Niu Niu, Lu Yuanzhi snatched her away and put her in a room upstairs. When he walked down the corridor, he entered his room without even looking at Jiang Xinxin. Jiang Xinxin felt a little sad. Looking at the messy table, she thought, ¡®I should at least finish cooking first..¡¯ Chapter 31 - Take Off All Your Clothes Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Now, the meal seemed to have changed. It was as if she was trying to apologize to Lu Yuanzhi. She put in extra effort. However, Jiang Xinxin was still a little worried about Niu Niu. She did not know how Niu Niu was doing. When the meal was ready and served on the table, Jiang Xinxin went to knock on Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s door. ¡°The meal¡­¡± ¡®It was ready. You can come down and eat.¡¯ She did not say it out loud and subconsciously shut her mouth, because she really did not expect to see such a shocking scene. Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have just walked out of the bathroom. The lingering water droplets on his body were emitting a faint luster, and his dark-skinned chest was exposed. Underneath it were the eight-pack abs that many people dreamed of. She did not dare to look directly into his eyes and subconsciously backed away, but she tripped on the uneven carpet. Lu Yuanzhi did not expect such a situation either. He was worried that she would fall and hurt herself. He subconsciously stepped forward to help her up, but he forgot that he was only wearing a simple towel. Jiang Xinxin¡¯s hand was also flailing. She accidentally pulled the towel from his waist! She looked at the thing in her hand and then at his body that was completely naked. She quickly released his towel and explained, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I accidentally fell and caught it. I¡¯m really sorry!¡± ¡°So, why did you come to my house? Is it really just for a small badge that can be used to tease cats?¡± Lu Yuanzhi looked at the situation in front of him and said coldly. He had long known that this woman¡¯s purpose in coming here was not simple, but he had still kept her here. In the end, so many things had happened. This made him doubt the woman¡¯s original intentions. Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s words were very light, but they were like a heavy hammer striking Jiang Xinxin¡¯s heart. ¡°Is that how you see me?¡± Jiang Xinxin said, not bothering to wipe the tears off her face, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to come here? Didn¡¯t you ask me to stay and cook? Now you¡¯re thinking about something else and doubting me. Are you crazy?¡± ¡°Leave my house.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s attitude made Jiang Xinxin extremely sad. She was not the kind of person who would pester others, but she wanted to have no debts with others. Jiang Xinxin stood up straight, and tidied up her clothes. ¡°I just looked at you. What¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen it before! Can¡¯t afford to mess around, right? Do you want me to give you a second look too?¡± As she said that, she unbuttoned her shirt, and it seemed like she was about to take off all her clothes. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lu Yuanzhi did not seem to have expected her to do this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her face dangerously. When he saw that she was really about to take off her clothes, he slammed the door shut. Jiang Xinxin looked at the cold door and cursed Lu Yuanzhi in her heart. She knew that he was temperamental, but she did not expect him to be this temperamental! Thinking of this, Jiang Xinxin took the badge and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of Niu Niu. ¡°Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Niu ate minced beef. You have to be careful if she gets sick!¡± She did not know if Lu Yuanzhi had heard her, but this had nothing to do with her. Hearing Jiang Xinxin¡¯s words, Lu Yuanzhi thought of Niu Niu who was still locked up in the room. After confirming that Jiang Xinxin had left, he opened the door to let Niu Niu out, only to find Niu Niu lying there. She was still retching from time to time, and her vomit was all over the floor. ¡°Niu Niu! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Chapter 32 - Block Her Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Xinxin took a taxi home as soon as she left the house. However, most of the people living in this place were rich, so very few people knew how to take a taxi. Therefore, she waited for a long time. When she returned home, it was already very late, she was also completely exhausted. Just as she was lying on the bed after taking a shower and scrolling through her phone, she suddenly saw Secretary Chen bringing Niu Niu to the animal hospital through WeChat moments. In the picture, Niu Niu was brought to the hospital with an Elizabeth cone around her head. She looked even more pitiful. Niu Niu was sick? Could it be because she had fed it raw meat? Jiang Xinxin felt extremely guilty. In the end, she decided to call Secretary Chen to find out about Niu Niu¡¯s situation. ¡°Secretary Chen, it¡¯s Jiang Xinxin. I saw that you brought Niu Niu to the animal hospital. Is Niu Niu sick?¡± However, after the call was connected, the person who answered the call was not Secretary Chen, but Lu Yuanzhi. As soon as the call was connected, his cold voice was heard. ¡°Don¡¯t call me when I¡¯m not working in the future. What kind of relationship can you have with Secretary Chen in private?¡± Jiang Xinxin said nothing. Should she report to him about her relationship with Secretary Chen? Moreover, she had already said that she did not do it on purpose. Why did he keep ridiculing her like that? ¡°Lu Yuanzhi, do you have to talk like that?¡± Jiang Xinxin asked. ¡°Then how do you want me to talk? If it weren¡¯t for you, Niu Niu wouldn¡¯t have eaten raw meat and wouldn¡¯t be here now.¡± Lu Yuanzhi was already angry, so he did not care much about how he was talking at this time. The concern Jiang Xinxin had for Niu Niu disappeared completely after Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s scolding. ¡°Lu Yuanzhi, is there something wrong with your brain? Even if it¡¯s because of me that Niu Niu is sick, is there a problem with me caring about her when she¡¯s sick?¡± Lu Yuanzhi directly hung up the phone. Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Jiang Xinxin was so angry that she almost threw up. How could someone be so annoying?! Jiang Xinxin angrily covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep. After Lu Yuanzhi hung up the phone, he also felt that it was not enough to vent his anger. It was clearly this woman¡¯s fault, but she still had to argue with him on the phone. How dare she! Moreover, Secretary Chen had been using this phone the whole time. Why did she have to call Secretary Chen at this late hour? The more Lu Yuanzhi thought about it, the more he felt that there was a fire raging in his heart. At this time, Secretary Chen came back with the results of the test. When he saw his president¡¯s pokerface, all the muscles on his body subconsciously tightened. He prayed that nothing would happen to Niu Niu, or else he might be the one to suffer. Just when he was wondering why the president was so angry, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly slapped the phone on his chest and said fiercely, ¡°That Jiang Xinxin, block her for me.¡± Secretary Chen was confused What about the future partnership? He did not have the guts to ask, so he could only drag Jiang Xinxin¡¯s contact number out of the list under Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s cold gaze and block her. Then, he showed the results to Lu Yuanzhi with a smile. Lu Yuanzhi then turned his eyes away. At this time, the doctor came out. ¡°Are You Niu Niu¡¯s owner?¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Secretary Chen quickly handed the test results to the doctor and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with our Niu Niu? Is it because she ate raw meat from the supermarket, or because she ate food containing high amounts of oil or salt?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The doctor smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s not because of these reasons. Moreover, if the cat ate some high-oil and high-salt food or raw meat from the supermarket, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem if it didn¡¯t eat a lot.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± ¡°Speaking of which, I really have to congratulate you.¡± The doctor smiled and said, ¡°Niu Niu is pregnant. It should be about two weeks in, so it¡¯s quite normal for her to occasionally vomit. It¡¯s not normal if it happens more than once or twice. If it¡¯s only once or twice, there¡¯s no need to panic too much.¡± ¡°Pregnant?¡± Lu Yuanzhi remembered that the cat had indeed run out some time ago. It was very likely that she was pregnant at that time. Since he was sure that there was no problem, he was relieved. After asking the doctor how to replenish the nutrition of the cat during pregnancy, Lu Yuanzhi returned home with Niu Niu. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the cold dishes on the table and paused slightly. The exquisite dishes seemed to be mocking him as well. He was indeed thinking too much. After all, the reason why Niu Niu got sick was not Jiang Xinxin. It was because he did not care about Niu Niu and jumped to conclusions which led him to misunderstand Jiang Xinxin.. Chapter 33 - See You Tomorrow Night Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He picked up a piece of braised pork ribs with his chopsticks. Although it was already cold, he could still taste how delicious the pork ribs were. It seemed that he should find an opportunity to apologize to her. At noon the next day, Jiang Xinxin was complaining about what happened yesterday to Li Li. ¡°What he said is indeed too much. He clearly looks like a decent person, but why doesn¡¯t he know how to take care of women?¡± ¡°Who knows? I think he doesn¡¯t know right from wrong, so he wants to pin all the bad things on me,¡±Jiang Xinxin said gloomily. Li Li looked at Jiang Xinxin who was very angry and said carefully, ¡°Then should we continue to pursue him? Do you still want to continue the plan to punish your ex-boyfriend?¡± Jiang Xinxin was also a little hesitant. After seeing that Lu Yuanzhi was a man who did not know right from wrong, she really did not have the intention to have a deep relationship with him. Just when she was about to answer, the phone suddenly rang. She looked up and saw an unfamiliar number. After the call was connected, she realized it was Lu Yuanzhi. ¡°Why did he call you?¡± Li Li mouthed to Jiang Xinxin in shock. ¡°What does this person want?¡± Jiang Xinxin coughed and said bluntly, ¡°CEO Lu, is there something about work that you need me for? If you are in a hurry to get the business proposal, I¡¯m sorry, but I haven¡¯t finished it yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not about the proposal,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said. ¡°You can take your time with the proposal. There¡¯s no need to rush.¡± Jiang Xinxin suddenly stopped when she heard him. She did not expect that Lu Yuanzhi would call for non-work reasons. ¡°Then why are you calling?¡± Lu Yuanzhi hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before he said, ¡°Last night, Niu Niu suddenly fell ill. Her vomit was everywhere in the house. I thought it was because she ate raw meat. Later, the results of Niu Niu¡¯s tests came out. They said that it was because she was pregnant that she had morning sickness like a pregnant woman. I was too anxious that day, so I didn¡¯t treat you very well. If it¡¯s possible, I¡¯d like to treat you to a meal as my apology.¡± Jiang Xinxin had never thought that Lu Yuanzhi would be willing to come and apologize. Shouldn¡¯t a high and mighty person like him be more indifferent to a nobody like her? However, if he wanted to invite her, she did not have to agree. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m quite busy these days. I might not have the time¡­¡± Just as Jiang Xinxin was about to refuse, she saw Li Li shaking her head at her. She carefully covered her phone with her hand and mouthed to Li Li. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing that she was still a little confused, Li Li said in a low voice, ¡°This is a good opportunity. If we can seize it, we can build a good relationship with him.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Jiang Xinxin shook her head subconsciously. How could she not understand what Li Li meant? However, they had just had a big fight, and now that they met, they just hated each other. In the end, they parted on bad terms. Li Li knew that she was a little unhappy now, so she suggested in a low voice, ¡°Then why don¡¯t you bring me there? If that person still talks and does things the same as before, I can scold him for you. If he sincerely apologizes, then he¡¯s not as bad as we thought.¡± Jiang Xinxin felt that Li Li¡¯s words made sense. She asked for Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s opinion over the phone, ¡°If I go, can I bring a friend?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± In fact, Lu Yuanzhi did not mind this. After all, what he cared about was whether Jiang Xinxin was willing to forgive him. Jiang Xinxin¡¯s willingness to come over was the best answer. ¡°Then, let¡¯s meet tomorrow night..¡± Chapter 34 - Greetings, Sister-in-Law Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Early the next morning, Li Li said to Jiang Xinxin, ¡°This can be said to be the first time the two of you have gone out together. If you round it up, it means that the two of you are on a date. In order to go on a date, of course, you have to dress up beautifully. It¡¯s not just you, it¡¯s the same for me too. The two of us have to dress up beautifully and then dazzle him.¡± When the two of them went over together, they discovered that apart from Lu Yuanzhi, there was also a man sitting in the private room. Moreover, Li Li was obviously very familiar with this man. As soon as they met, the two of them began to ridicule him, ¡°Yuanzhi, you didn¡¯t tell me that this woman was coming.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me coming?¡± Li Li said unhappily, ¡°What do you mean by ¡®this woman¡¯? If you can come here, can¡¯t I come?¡± ¡°Look at your temper. You¡¯re clearly a girl, so why are you so hot-tempered?¡±The man shook his head and sighed. Hearing the other party¡¯s words, Li Li was not willing to be outdone, ¡°So what? Lu Chenfeng, I¡¯m not going to marry you in the future. Why do you need to worry so much?¡± ¡°With your temper, even if you marry me, I don¡¯t dare to marry you!¡± Lu Yuanzhi, who was sitting beside him, also said, ¡°Chenfeng, what you said is indeed a little too much.¡± Li Li immediately smiled when she saw that someone was backing her up. She said to Lu Chenfeng proudly, ¡°See, you¡¯ve been told.¡± Lu Chenfeng did not want to argue with her. When he saw Jiang Xinxin standing at the side, it was obvious that she was very gentle and more ladylike compared to Li Li. Moreover, when Lu Yuanzhi saw Jiang Xinxin coming over, he immediately stood up and helped her pull out the chair in a gentlemanly manner. He thought to himself, could this person be the girl that Lu Yuanzhi took a fancy to? Then wouldn¡¯t he have to call her sister-in-law? ¡°Let me introduce you. This is my friend and partner, Lu Chenfeng,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said. ¡°Hello, nice to meet you. I¡¯m Jiang Xinxin.¡± Lu Chenfeng nodded and handed the menu to Jiang Xinxin. ¡°Hello, sister-in-law. Here¡¯s the menu. Take a look at what you want to eat.¡± His ¡°Sister-in-law¡± instantly made the room quieter. In the end, Li Li burst out laughing, breaking the silence. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Lu Chenfeng was baffled by the laughter. ¡°Are you stupid?¡± Li Li laughed so hard that she could not stand up straight. ¡°They don¡¯t have that kind of relationship!¡± Lu Chenfeng felt strange and said, ¡°But Yuanzhi has never pulled a chair out for another woman before.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Haha.¡± Li Li continued to laugh nonstop, which made Lu Chenfeng feel a little annoyed. In the end, it was Jiang Xinxin who opened her mouth. ¡°Mr. Lu, you¡¯ve really misunderstood. CEO Lu and I are just partners.¡± Then, she lowered her head and chose some lighter dishes from the menu. Lu Chenfeng finished choosing from the menu and said in surprise, ¡°Really? Miss Jiang, are all the dishes you ordered really the ones you want to eat? Why are they the same as the dishes that Yuanzhi likes to eat? Li Li also heard him say this and immediately teased, ¡°Yeah, why did our Xinxin order the dishes that CEO Lu likes to eat?¡± Jiang Xinxin blushed a little at their words. Actually, she did not know what Lu Yuanzhi liked to eat. When she went to his house to cook that day, she saw a menu in the kitchen. The dishes on it were all relatively light. She memorized all the dishes. She did not expect to order the dishes today. When she saw the dishes, she immediately ordered them. ¡°Don¡¯t make fun of me. I just haven¡¯t had a good appetite recently. I want to eat something light..¡± Chapter 35 - Did Not Follow the Script Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Li did not think that this was a coincidence. Jiang Xinxin must have found out somehow. However, thinking about what had happened to her during this period of time, she realized that it would really make anyone lose their appetite. ¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯ve experienced too much during this period of time. It¡¯s normal for you to lose your appetite.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± Lu Chenfeng was more curious. ¡°It¡¯s all because of that jerk, Fu Yan. He and Xinxin were clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, but in the end, Xinxin only went on a business trip. After she came back, Fu Yan had hooked up with Xinxin¡¯s sister and he became her brother-in-law.¡± Li Li summarized the matter for the two men in a few sentences. Lu Yuanzhi did not have any reaction, but Lu Chenfeng felt a little angry. His family and the Fu family were neighbors, and his seniority was higher. He was of the same generation as Fu Yan¡¯s mother. In terms of seniority, Fu Yan still had to call him uncle. Moreover, he was about the same age as Fu Yan. He grew up with him and knew everything about the Fu family. However, he did not realize that this person was such a scumbag. ¡°The Fu family are not good people, and most of them do not have any integrity. I always thought that Fu Yan was a good person, but I did not expect him to be as shameless as his family,¡± Lu Chenfeng said as he shook his head. ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Li Li echoed from the side. ¡°He has been chasing Xinxin for a long time, and he looked like the most filial son in the world, but in the end, he turned around and did such a thing.¡± She glared at Lu Chenfeng. ¡°You men are all bad!¡± Lu Chenfeng was speechless. How did he get dragged into this for no reason? Jiang Xinxin did not say anything. She had been secretly observing Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression, wanting to see if he also thought that Fu Yan was a scumbag. However, after taking a few glances, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression remained as calm as ever. Didn¡¯t he feel anything at all when his own family was being scolded? Could this person¡¯s heart really be this hard? Jiang Xinxin did not quite believe it, but his expression clearly showed that he felt that this had nothing to do with him. Could it be that she had been mistaken from the start, that Lu Yuanzhi was not Fu Yan¡¯s uncle at all? She decided to take a look again. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lu Chenfeng was still recounting how untrustworthy the Fu family was. As he said this, he also indicated that he would never interact with their family again. Lu Yuanzhi was still unmoved. Jiang Xinxin really suspected that she had found the wrong person. After all, Lu Yuanzhi was related to the Fu family and was also part of Fu Yan¡¯s family. If her good friend said that, they would probably be a little sad, right? ¡°Actually, this matter isn¡¯t that big of a deal. The two of us don¡¯t have much of a relationship. We just met a scumbag. His behavior makes me feel a little disgusted,¡±Jiang Xinxin said. ¡°Besides, his way of doing things only means that he has a unique way of thinking. It doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that his family members are all like that.¡± As soon as she finished her sentence, she heard Lu Yuanzhi, who had been silent the whole time, sneer. Jiang Xinxin was stunned by his attitude. She did not understand what Lu Yuanzhi meant. She was obviously helping Lu Yuanzhi out of his predicament. Why did he look like he was looking down on her? Jiang Xinxin felt a little baffled and rolled her eyes at Lu Yuanzhi.. Chapter 36 - This Man Was Actually So Terrifying Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lu Chenfeng also noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange, he immediately changed the topic. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about that family anymore. What they are willing to do has nothing to do with us. Today, we are also here to have a meal. Oh right, Yuanzhi, how is your Niu Niu now? Is she still experiencing any pregnancy reactions?¡± Jiang Xinxin paid attention at the mention of her. She wanted to hear what was going on. ¡°She¡¯s fine for now, but time will tell.¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s attitude was indifferent. Lu Chenfeng observed Jiang Xinxin¡¯s expression as he spoke. When he saw Jiang Xinxin¡¯s blank expression, he quickly said to Jiang Xinxin, ¡°Miss Jiang, you must have been scared out of your wits. The girl was pregnant before, that¡¯s why¡­¡± He had originally wanted to comfort Jiang Xinxin and tell her that Niu Niu¡¯s vomiting had nothing to do with her. He wanted her to relax and not be burdened about this matter anymore. This was also the task that Lu Yuanzhi had given him. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzhi did not follow the script that he had originally planned. He directly interrupted Lu Chenfeng¡¯s words and changed the topic, saying, ¡°That¡¯s why we can¡¯t let her eat raw beef.¡± Jiang Xinxin¡¯s eyes widened and she felt even more guilty. ¡°How is she now?¡± Seeing Jiang Xinxin¡¯s surprised and worried expression, Lu Chenfeng understood everything. He could not help but laugh at Lu Yuanzhi, this old fox. He was too cunning. He was targeting Jiang Xinxin, so she would be his sister-in-law sooner or later! ¡°The doctor said to take good care of her,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said. ¡°But I¡¯ve been busy with work recently, so I may not have time to take care of her. I guess I¡¯ll have to send her to the pet hospital for boarding.¡± ¡°How can that be?¡±Jiang Xinxin said subconsciously, ¡°She¡¯s pregnant, and you still want to send her to an unfamiliar environment. What if she has a reaction from stress?¡± Lu Yuanzhi smiled and looked at her. ¡°Then, Miss Jiang, do you have any better suggestions?¡± Jiang Xinxin did not understand why he seemed so interested. He said subconsciously, ¡°Since Niu Niu accidentally ate raw beef because of me, I¡¯m willing to make up for my mistake. I can help you take care of Niu Niu while you¡¯re busy with work.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not appropriate, is it?¡± Lu Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes, but his tone was not inappropriate at all. ¡°When would you have the time to go over?¡± Li Li & Lu Chenfeng were speechless. He had tricked her into coming over just like that? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Jiang Xinxin did not realize that she had been tricked. In addition, she was really worried about Niu Niu¡¯s health, so she quickly said honestly, ¡°I get off work at six in the evening every day. I should be at your house at six-thirty.¡± Li Li, who was next to her, gritted her teeth and pulled Jiang Xinxin¡¯s sleeve under the table, hinting that she should not agree so quickly. After all, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s current expression was too much like a fox that had stolen a fish. Li Li was very worried that he was deliberately trying to mess with her best friend. Although she encouraged Jiang Xinxin to get close to Lu Yuanzhi to slap that b*stard Fu Yan in the face, she did not want her to lose her whole body! ¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡± Lu Yuanzhi picked up the teacup in front of him with his slender fingers and slightly raised it in the direction of Jiang Xinxin. His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were tightly locked on Jiang Xinxin¡¯s innocent and cute face, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you in the future, Miss Jiang.¡± Jiang Xinxin was immediately bewitched by his elite appearance. She nodded and agreed, ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Li Li covered her heart and thought to herself, Jiang Xinxin would be eaten by Lu Yuanzhi in no time.. This man was so terrifying! Chapter 37 - Pregnancy Recipe Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Li felt that Jiang Xinxin¡¯s agreement was probably related to her plan to become Fu Yan¡¯s aunt. In addition, they had mentioned Fu Yan during the banquet today, which had triggered Jiang Xinxin to agree so quickly. It was just that when she went back, she had to talk to Jiang Xinxin properly. She could not allow him to bully her just because she wanted to achieve her goal! Lu Chenfeng also heard the conversation between the two of them. He did not know why, but he felt that he and Li Li were just two third-wheels. There was no need to involve the two of them in this gathering. However, Lu Yuanzhi was his good friend. He did not want to say anything about what he did. Moreover, with his status, he did not dare to say anything. After dinner, Lu Yuanzhi handed a card to Jiang Xinxin. ¡°You can use this card to buy some nutritious things for Niu Niu.¡± ¡°No need, I can buy them myself,¡± Jiang Xinxin refused. ¡°Letting you take care of Niu Niu is already considered as your apology. I don¡¯t need you to spend any more money. I¡¯ll feel like I owe you a favor.¡± After hearing what he said, Jiang Xinxin took the card. She planned to go to some pet shops later to ask if there were any methods to help pregnant cats with their stomachs. However, Li Li stopped her as soon as she walked out the door. ¡°You really plan to go? Don¡¯t you think that person is treating you like a nanny?¡± Jiang Xinxin was a little surprised. ¡°That¡¯s nothing, right? You heard him. He¡¯s been busy with work recently. Moreover, Niu Niu is pregnant now. It¡¯s the time when she needs someone to take care of her, right?¡± ¡°But he doesn¡¯t need you, right?¡± Li Li understood what she meant, but she still felt that Lu Yuanzhi was too overbearing. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Jiang Xinxin pulled Li Li¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am? I won¡¯t let myself suffer.¡± ¡®Not to mention that there was the cute Niu Niu to keep me company.¡¯ Li Li nodded. ¡°However, this matter isn¡¯t without benefits. You should have the chance to spend more time with him when you go there.¡± The relationship between the two of them will also become better. Maybe it was a good thing. ¡°But you must remember to take good care of yourself. Don¡¯t lose yourself if you are bewitched by his beauty.¡± Jiang Xinxin felt that what she said was too exaggerated. She assured her again and again that she would only treat Lu Yuanzhi as a tool. Only then did Li Li feel relieved. In order to take better care of Niu Niu, Jiang Xinxin specially went to the pet shop to ask about what to feed a pregnant cat. ¡°Hello Miss, are you here to choose a pet or to choose supplies for your pet? The shop can give you some recommendations based on the information you provide,¡± the shop assistant said enthusiastically. ¡°I want to ask about pregnant cats. Oh right, this is a photo of it.¡± Jiang Xinxin found Niu Niu¡¯s photo from her phone and showed it to the staff. This photo was taken at Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s house last time. The kitten had been staring at the rope tied to her badge. It was very cute with its eyes wide open. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°It¡¯s a ragdoll cat, and it¡¯s a two-colored ragdoll.¡± The owner¡¯s eyes lit up, and he took a bag of cat food. ¡°Such a big cat should be eight months old. I recommend you feed this to her.¡± Jiang Xinxin remembered that Niu Niu was already pregnant, so she quickly asked, ¡°Can this cat food be given to pregnant cats?¡± ¡°Of course. Don¡¯t worry, the food in our shop is harmless.¡± As he said this, he seemed to remember something, and the owner took out his phone, ¡°Pregnant cats should eat better. I have a recipe for pregnant cats. If you are not busy, you can try it. There is also a specific recipe you should try.¡± Jiang Xinxin accepted it gladly. When she finally left the pet shop, Jiang Xinxin looked at the big and small packages in her hands and was a little speechless. The owner of the pet shop was really too enthusiastic. He recommended a lot of good things to her. When she went back, she would study Niu Niu¡¯s pregnancy recipe carefully, and feed her more nutritious food.. Chapter 38 - Cat Pudding Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Xinxin went to Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s house again. This time, the guard did not stop her. Lu Yuanzhi must have told someone in advance. When she arrived, she found that there was only the cat in the house. Lu Yuanzhi must have gone back to the company. Jiang Xinxin gazed lovingly at the little cat that came to welcome her. She stroked its chin and said, ¡°Niu Niu, I¡¯m here. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll cook something delicious for you in a while.¡± On the way here, she carefully studied the recipes given by the pet shop owner. Among them, there was a cat pudding made from goat¡¯s milk with probiotics added. It was better for the cat¡¯s intestines and stomach. However, this thing was low in nutrients and had little meat content. It was good for her to snack occasionally and eat proper cat food and canned food. Jiang Xinxin decided to try the cat pudding first to see if Niu Niu liked it. If she liked it, she could treat the cat pudding as Niu Niu¡¯s snack, and if she did not like it, she would find other ways. After making it, she deliberately covered it to prevent Niu Niu from eating it again. When the door opened, Jiang Xinxin poked her head out of the kitchen and found that Lu Yuanzhi had returned. Lu Yuanzhi was obviously stunned as he did not expect Jiang Xinxin to be here. ¡°What are you doing at the door?¡± Jiang Xinxin returned to the kitchen. ¡°Do you have anything you want to eat tonight?¡± She asked very naturally, but she did not see Lu Yuanzhi standing at the door, deep in thought. She had to admit that when she poked her head out of the kitchen just now, she really looked like a wife waiting for her husband to come back, asking him what he wanted to eat. And he actually thought it was a little cute? Especially the way Jiang Xinxin looked in her apron. It kept playing in his mind, making him feel that he would never forget it for the rest of his life. ¡°Whatever.¡± He lowered his head and wanted to quickly walk past the kitchen door, but he was surprised to see the pudding that had just come out of the pot. The color was bright, and it looked very delicious. Jiang Xinxin did not notice that Lu Yuanzhi was staring at the pudding that she had just made. He was still thinking about what to eat tonight. ¡°Then I¡¯ll figure something out.¡± She heard some movement behind her. She turned around and saw Lu Yuanzhi putting the pudding that she had made for Niu Niu into his mouth. It seemed to be because there was goat¡¯s milk in it. Lu Yuanzhi frowned, but he still ate the whole thing. ¡°That¡­¡± Jiang Xinxin subconsciously wanted to tell him, but seeing that he swallowed it immediately, she felt that he probably did not want others to find out that he ate the cat pudding. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t that be more embarrassing? After thinking for a while, she kept her mouth shut and did not say anything. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin kept staring at him, Lu Yuanzhi was still a little puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°No, nothing.¡±Jiang Xinxin did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had made that thing for Niu Niu, and now he had eaten one. He was afraid that she would find out that it was not for humans, so she asked carefully, ¡°What do you think of the taste?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, but the taste is a little light, not sweet enough, and there¡¯s a fishy smell. Did you add something goat-related?¡± Lu Yuanzhi asked. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Jiang Xinxin raised her eyebrows and smiled kindly. ¡°Yes, I added goat¡¯s milk.¡± ¡°Oh, next time change it to regular milk,¡± Lu Yuanzhi said casually as he walked to the room. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll definitely change it next time.¡± Jiang Xinxin held back her laughter. She was worried that if she relaxed, she would spill the beans or laugh out loud. She would definitely get in trouble. When she was sure that Lu Yuanzhi had entered the study room, Jiang Xinxin heaved a sigh of relief, and then she laughed out loud. She did not expect Lu Yuanzhi to make such a mistake. For some reason, she felt that it was a little cute. However, she definitely could not let him know about this. Since he had a reputation as the CEO of the Lu Corporation, he might just kill her to silence her! Jiang Xinxin covered her mouth with her hands and decided to keep this matter to herself. She would never tell anyone even if she was beaten to death. She thought of the cat pudding tonight and decided to make up for Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s mistake.. Chapter 39 - Recipe Discovered Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I tried to use the ingredients in your fridge to make some food. Try it and see how it tastes.¡± Lu Yuanzhi had just eaten pudding and felt that it tasted good. He also wanted to continue tasting this woman¡¯s cooking. He looked at the dishes on the table. One was braised pork with winter melon, another was wood ear mushroom salad, and there was also pumpkin and egg soup. They were all health-preserving dishes. ¡°You know about such healthy dishes?¡± He asked in surprise. Previously, when he saw that she liked to drink and had such a bad temper, he thought that she was the kind of young lady who never went out in the sun. He did not expect that not only did she know how to cook, but she was also quite good at it. When Jiang Xinxin heard this, she was stunned. ¡°Yes, I do know a little. Previously, my father¡­¡± She suddenly stopped and felt a little sad. ¡°Previously, my father always drank too much, so I learned some health tips from the Internet.¡± When she mentioned Jiang Qian, Jiang Xinxin felt inexplicably bitter. It turned out that she had unknowingly given so much, yet she had not received much in return. Lu Yuanzhi noticed the change in her mood and knew that she was feeling sad now. He lowered his head and tasted the pumpkin egg soup. ¡°It¡¯s very good.¡± After Jiang Xinxin heard what he said, she pulled herself out of her reverie. She knew that he was trying to get her out of something sad. ¡°Thank you for the compliment.¡± She sat down as well. ¡°Hurry up and eat. It¡¯ll be cold soon.¡± The two of them did not speak to each other at the dining table. Lu Yuanzhi silently finished a bowl. He felt that he could eat another bowl, so he went to get the rice. After he finished eating, he realized that he had eaten too much. At this time, he could only eat one bowl of rice. However, this woman¡¯s cooking was so good, so he could eat another bowl. He could not help but say to Jiang Xinxin again, ¡°The food you make is really delicious.¡± Jiang Xinxin smiled. ¡°Really? Did you know that my childhood wish was to make soup for my future husband? So I worked hard to get there.¡± She had said that on purpose so that Lu Yuanzhi would understand her intentions. She had thought that the hint was very obvious, but Lu Yuanzhi did not react at all. He even reminded her before he left, ¡°I finished eating first. Please wash the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Jiang Xinxin felt that this person was simply a blockhead. For a person like him, if she did not want to chase after him, it would be a miracle if he had a girlfriend. She stood up in a fit of pique and cleaned up the dishes on the table. At the same time, she looked at Lu Yuanzhi angrily and stared at his back as he walked into the kitchen. They were both going to the kitchen. ¡®Can¡¯t you help to carry them?¡¯ She was the one who cooked the meal! Lu Yuanzhi naturally felt the gaze boring into his back. Even he did not realize that the corner of his mouth had already curled up slightly. It seemed that teasing this woman made him feel happy. He took a cup of warm water from the kitchen and sipped it. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a corner of a piece of paper poking out from the drawer. He wanted to go and tidy up the things inside. As he pulled open the drawer, he saw the list inside. It was the paper that Jiang Xinxin used to make notes when she made the cat pudding! Not only was there a method to make the cat pudding on it, it was also mixed with the words ¡°For Niu Niu¡± in Chinese and English at the end. Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have understood something. He immediately turned to Jiang Xinxin, who was washing the dishes. He realized that Jiang Xinxin was dodging his angry gaze. Instead, she was looking at everything else, not daring to look at him directly. She was definitely guilty! ¡°What is this thing?¡± Lu Yuanzhi did not want to let Jiang Xinxin off the hook. He immediately handed the piece of paper to her. She actually fed him cat pudding.. This woman was really bold! Chapter 40 - Compensation with a Kiss Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°What is it?¡± Jiang Xinxin asked, but her eyes were not on it at all. She was still looking at the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. Lu Yuanzhi was a little annoyed. How could he eat it without asking? And she seemed to know about it, but she did not tell him. Looking at the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and the leftovers on the table, he thought to himself, ¡®No wonder this person made such a big table of delicious food. Could it be that she wanted to use the food to bribe me so that I won¡¯t pursue this matter?¡¯ Jiang Xinxin noticed that Lu Yuanzhi had not moved for a long time, so she secretly raised her gaze and looked in his direction. She immediately saw Lu Yuanzhi standing there with angry lines on his face, and an unpleasant expression. ¡®It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over, I¡¯ve really offended him this time.¡¯ She originally thought that if she did not tell Lu Yuanzhi, he would not find out about this matter. However, he just had to see the list that she had written. Facing Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s questions, Jiang Xinxin wanted to cry but had no tears. She opened her mouth with a trembling voice, wanting to explain. However, just as Jiang Xinxin opened her mouth, the man in front of her suddenly took a step forward and walked towards her! She stepped back subconsciously. Jiang Xinxin wanted to stop him from getting closer. ¡°Listen to me¡­¡± ¡°Say it.¡± Lu Yuanzhi moved closer to her calmly. ¡°I¡¯m listening.¡± Jiang Xinxin braced herself and explained, ¡°Although it¡¯s cat pudding, the ingredients are very fresh and processed. It¡¯s actually edible. I promise there won¡¯t be any problems. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± ¡°It¡¯s edible?¡± Lu Yuanzhi crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly. He looked down at her and said rudely, ¡°Then eat one.¡± Jiang Xinxin was speechless. ¡®There¡¯s no need for that, right?¡¯ However, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s expression showed that he was not joking in the slightest. Jiang Xinxin thought that this person was indeed vengeful. She did not make it clear that he ate cat pudding, so he wanted her to eat one too as revenge. His character could be said to be quite bad. Jiang Xinxin argued, ¡°Can I use other delicious food to compensate you?¡± As she spoke, she begged in a coquettish tone, ¡°I beg you, don¡¯t let me eat cat pudding, okay¡­?¡± The displeasure on Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s face seemed to have eased a little, but he did not stop until he had forced Jiang Xinxin into a corner, with her back against the wall, and there was no way to retreat. Only then did he stretch out his hand to trap the weak Jiang Xinxin between the corner of the wall and his chest, lowering his head and looking at her aggressively. Jiang Xinxin did not dare to look at him at all, because his aura was too strong. Just looking into his eyes, Jiang Xinxin¡¯s heart beat faster, not to mention that the two of them were so close now. ¡°You want to make it up to me?¡± Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s tone was very light. ¡°It¡¯s not so easy to make it up to me.¡± Since he was going along with what she said, it meant that there was a turning point in this matter, Jiang Xinxin quickly promised, ¡°It¡¯s okay. You can ask me to make it up to you however you want. As long as you don¡¯t force me to eat cat pudding, I¡¯ll agree to anything!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lu Yuanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her chattering little mouth. His eyes darkened. Her mouth was pink, and was uniquely tender like a young girl¡¯s. He had tasted it countless times, so he was sure that it was the most delicious thing in the world. Thus, as soon as Jiang Xinxin finished speaking, Lu Yuanzhi¡¯s kiss landed on her lips. Jiang Xinxin was dumbfounded. She had never expected Lu Yuanzhi to do such a thing. Didn¡¯t Lu Yuanzhi hate her? Why would he suddenly kiss her? Could it be that her aunt plan was about to succeed? Just as she was distracted, a large hand pinched her chin and lifted her face, which was drooping lower and lower because of her shyness and shock. He said in her ear unhappily, ¡°Miss Jiang, please pay attention when you¡¯re making it up to me.¡± With that, he kissed her again ¡ª with the frenzy of a storm!
