Contract Bride, the power game of misplaced love

She shouted so loudly that even Zhao Yunshan heard it. He was a little flustered and asked:

"what do you mean?"

Li Zhijian said hesitantly:

"I was treating him, but who would have thought that he would want a table full of high-end dishes worth tens of thousands of dollars."

Zhao Yunshan wanted to get up, but Xia Ying pulled him back and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Yunshan looked anxious and looked at his mother for help:

"Mom, this time, Zhi Jian was cheated. This meal cost tens of thousands of dollars."

Xia Ying was worried that her child was upset, so she quickly comforted him:

"Mo Fan, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Zhao Yunshan held his mother's arm and said softly:

"Mom, can you help me send the 100,000 yuan?"

Since Zhao Peng was watching, Xia Ying agreed without hesitation. She smiled and said:

"Okay, Shanshan, listen to me. I'm leaving first."

Li Zhijian on the other end of the phone also heard Xia Ying's voice and felt relieved.

Zhao Peng had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. His mother had always been very strict with him and very doting on Zhao Yunshan.

This kind of love made Zhao Yunshan's psychological quality very low. He was isolated from the world, had almost no friends, and was always immersed in his own life.

Zhao Peng was not jealous of his mother's favor towards Zhao Yunshan. He only cared about Zhao Yunshan's future. If he continued to do so, it would most likely become a disaster for his whole life.

Zhao Yunshan raised his head and looked at his brother pitifully.

"Brother, let go of mother. I won't drag you down."

Zhao Peng hesitated for a moment and said helplessly:

"You should recover as soon as possible. You should always have some friends. After so many years, I haven't seen you make any new friends."

Zhao Yunshan smiled and said, "Brother, this is my good brother!"

Zhao Peng rubbed his head, looking worried.

"I just feel sorry for you. You haven't made friends with anyone in years. It's scary that you suddenly become so enthusiastic."

Zhao Yunshan tried hard to defend himself:

"Brother, look, even if I'm willing to work, it's still a promotion!"

As soon as Zhao Peng sat down, Zhao Yunshan began to urge Xia Ying:

"Mom, hurry up."

Xia Ying would never refuse her own child. She nodded vigorously and told Zhao Peng:

"Take good care of Mo Yi. I'll be back soon."

Although she found a nurse for him, Xia Ying was still worried and stayed with him in the hospital all the time.

At this time, the lobby manager was about to have someone take Li Zhijian away. She quickly stood up and said to the assistant:

"Please wait a moment, my friend will get it for you soon."

The person in charge looked at his watch and sneered:

"If you can't find anyone within twenty minutes, just wait and see."

Li Zhijian was afraid that Xia Ying would not be able to arrive in time, so he pleaded:

"Will you just wait here for me?"

"No, I won't let you stay any longer. This is my respect for you. Otherwise, you would have been locked up long ago."

Li Zhijian looked at her sad face and said nothing more. He just hoped that Xia Ying could arrive on time.

This was a very difficult process, and Li Zhijian became increasingly restless with every passing minute.

More than twenty minutes had passed and Xia Ying had not shown up yet.

The manager and his bodyguards surrounded her.

Li Zhijian couldn't help but take a step back, clenching his hands tightly, not daring to move.

The lobby manager ordered:

"Now that we've reached this point, no one will pay for her. Take her back to the police station."

The two bodyguards helped Li Zhijian up. At this critical moment, Xia Ying suddenly shouted:

"What are you doing?"

The front desk manager looked up and saw that it was the president's wife. What was she doing here? She quickly stepped forward and said in a gentle tone:

"She's just a freeloader."

Xia Ying frowned and said unhappily, "Let her go."

Li Zhijian's tears flowed down, and she said excitedly:

"Aunt, you are finally back."

Xia Ying walked up to her, shook hands with her, and said cordially:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The lobby manager looked puzzled. He didn't care who she was.

It seems that this woman is of no ordinary background. Fortunately, I waited a little late, otherwise I would be in trouble.

The lobby manager, waiter, and security guard, who had just looked so arrogant, all lowered their heads.

Looking at Xia Ying, no one said anything more.

The lobby manager was an old hand and knew what to say. He quickly said politely to Li Zhijian:

"If you had told us earlier that the president's wife was your friend, we wouldn't have troubled you so much."

Li Zhijian had not expected that this would be Zhao Yunshan's territory, even though there had been some minor frictions before.

If she hadn't had enough time, she would have followed in the editor-in-chief's footsteps long ago.

Xia Ying said to the hall supervisor:

"Everyone, remember this. If anyone is still looking for trouble with her, pack up and leave. She is in our store, you can buy whatever you want."

Li Zhijian had never expected Xia Ying to say such a thing. She hugged her tightly.

"Auntie, please don't do this. I am already satisfied with you helping me."

Several people who had been speaking up for her before also echoed:

"We will follow the Madam's orders and never trouble Miss Li again."

This scene finally came to an end.

It was getting late, and the store was about to close. Xia Ying held Li Zhijian's hand, not wanting to let go for even a second. She turned around and said to the front desk manager:

"You go back first, I'll come find her."

Li Zhijian felt as if she had been reborn. This result was something she had never expected.

This Zhao Yunshan is really a rich man. Although she is not a gold digger, no one would despise money.

The two walked into the elevator, and the number on it was the first floor.

Not long after, the elevator on this floor made a clang and a tall figure rushed out from it.

Li Zhijian leaned towards Xia Ying, but still saw Xiao Yuheng at a glance.

Xiao Yuheng knew that Li Zhijian didn't have that much cash, so he didn't intend to take her to the police station.

Because she knew that with her temper, she would definitely be given some time.

He didn't leave for long, just sitting in his car not far away, bored.

The two people's eyes met and then separated.

"Xiao Xiao, are you here for dinner at this time?"

Xia Ying was very excited.

Xiao Yuheng nodded, then shook his head.

"I came here for dinner and forgot to bring something."

Xia Ying nodded and said with a smile:

"No wonder you are here. You don't even look at our store. It closes very quickly."

Chapter 52 What did he tell you

Xiao Yuheng looked at Li Zhijian standing beside him, his face full of shock, but he didn't say much.

Before he could speak, Xia Ying said excitedly:

"Xiao Xiao, it's been a while since you and Zhiyan had a baby, right? Go now!"

Xiao Yuheng glanced at Li Zhijian and saw that she was still indifferent. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed:

"Well, thank you for your kindness, I will be well soon."

Xia Ying took Li Zhijian's hand and was about to give her a brief introduction. At this time, the elevator had arrived, and Li Zhijian said calmly:

"Aunt, we can go now!"

After saying that, the two got on the elevator.

Xiao Yuheng was left confused, not knowing what was going on or when Li Zhijian became so close to the Wu family.

He took out his cell phone, and the first person he looked at was naturally Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng was talking to Zhao Yunshan. He was very dissatisfied with his mother's discipline, but privately, he still doted on his son very much.

Although I don't know what's going on, there is indeed something wrong with his character.

But this is not a good thing. He can take the initiative to deal with people and work, which makes them very happy.

"It's so late, Lao Xiao, why are you calling me?"

Xiao Yuheng seemed to be still immersed in the previous scene, with a solemn expression.

"Zhao Peng, have you met Li Zhijian?"

Zhao Peng scratched his head, somewhat confused:

"What's going on? Why don't I understand?"

"Zhao Peng, you are playing dumb!"

Zhao Peng really looked very innocent, and said with a wry smile:

"Old Xiao, I didn't expect that immortal you mentioned!"

"Do you still remember the Li Zhijian who left with your mother before?"

Zhao Peng then remembered and said quickly:

"He's a buddy of my brother's. He seems to have been ripped off. He spent tens of thousands of dollars here."

Xiao Yuheng then realized that Zhao Peng was actually his brother's good friend.

However, he has not seen his brother for many years and is said to be a very reserved person.

Xiao Yuheng said in a deep voice:

"Zhao Peng, do you think they have too much appetite for you? Otherwise, why don't you go and do charity yourself?"

"Old Xiao, do you know this girl? I think I've seen her somewhere, but I can't remember."

The first thing Xiao Yuheng thought of was whether Zhao Yunshan was his brother.

Because I have heard them call me that, I asked hesitantly:

"Is your brother called Zhao Yunshan?"

Zhao Peng nodded and said politely:

"Yes, he is currently in the hospital and I am with him."

Xiao Yuheng reacted instantly. Zhao Yunshan was actually his biological brother. He said coldly:

"Tell your brother to stay away from her."

Zhao Peng sensed a hint of displeasure in Xiao Yuheng's tone, and immediately shouted angrily:

"Xiao Yuheng, who do you think you are? My brother has had autism since he was a child. I will fully support him."

"Listen to me, tell him not to get close to her."

As he said that, he hung up the phone. He could never have imagined that

Li Zhijian actually managed to establish a relationship with Zhao Yunshan. Isn't this embarrassing for him?

Although I was very angry before, Zhao Peng was also my good buddy for many years.

You can't give up your good friend just because of a woman, right?

What's so good about her? He thought of what Qian Qi said, that most girls nowadays are self-centered.

They will do anything as long as they can get paid.

Xiao Yuheng left the hotel with an indescribable melancholy.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

I picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Jiang Zhiyan.

After a long while, he finally answered: "What's the matter?"

"Xiao, it's my brother's birthday. Didn't you say you would come with me?"

Xiao Yuheng was still angry and had no mood to act with her, so he interrupted her directly:

"We'll talk about this tomorrow."

"Xiao, go back early. We'll leave tomorrow morning."

Jiang Zhiyan's words made him hesitate, because he had already decided to go back.

But after hearing her words, he didn't want to go back anymore.

This matter will be exposed sooner or later, and it will be even more difficult to explain then.

"Jiang Zhiyan, don't forget, you and I are both yours."

"Xiao, I don't care, but you promised to attend important events and my family's birthdays."

Xiao Yuheng was too lazy to argue with her and responded impatiently:

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Zhiyan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you."

"What are you waiting for? You can do whatever you want. We are not married yet."

"Xiao Yuheng, do you have to keep telling me this?"

Jiang Zhiyan, who was full of joy the moment before, was thrown into the abyss by him the next second.

She hung up the phone sadly, lay on the sofa, and cried.

She suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly stood up from the sofa and called Qian Qi.

Qian Qi was holding her daughter. When she saw the number Jiang Zhiyan called, she quickly walked to the window and answered the call.

Jiang Zhiyan said angrily: "Qian Qi, is there a Li Zhijian who came to our company?"

Qian Qi saw that her tone was not right, and immediately smiled and said:

"Sister Jiang, there is no such girl in the company."

Jiang Zhiyan couldn't believe it. As a woman, her instinct told her,

Xiao Yuheng's indifference towards her was completely different from before. She asked doubtfully:

"Boss Xiao, have you seen anything unusual these days?"

Qian Qi thought of the questions Xiao Yuheng had asked her before, and she had agreed to them.

She would never spread this news, but now that she heard the news, she really wanted to tell it.

Qian Qi cleared his throat and whispered:

"Sister Jiang, I've been wondering if I have time to talk to you. Mr. Xiao just told me that I think he's in some trouble."

Jiang Zhiyan immediately became interested. She could tell that the two had not broken up. Li Zhijian must be reluctant to let Xiao Yuheng go. So, she asked loudly:

"What did he tell you?"

"She said that a woman has special feelings for her first love, but I don't think that's right!"

Jiang Zhiyan didn't expect that Xiao Yuheng would actually tell his subordinates about such private matters. This was not his character.

There is no doubt that he was testing Li Zhijian's attitude towards him.

If he wants to clear Li Zhijian's name, then she has to help her clear it.

After a pause, she added:

"If anything happens to Qian Qi, remember to call me. I won't let you down."

"Sister Jiang, I'm not after your benefit, I just think that we're all girls and it's hard work."

"Okay, I'll call you next time. It's getting late, so go to bed first."
