Grab The Heroine and Run Away Ch. 98
Ji Yichen was caught off guard by her casual excuse, hesitating for a moment. “Miss Xu is joking.”
Xu Heran immediately responded, “Is that so? Hahaha.”
The man’s gaze fell on Xu Heran, showing a tolerant smile. “Since both of you are allergic to my gifts, how about I invite you both for a cup of coffee?”
“No need,” Xin Nuo’s tone was measured. “Mr. Ji, you’re quite busy, so we shouldn’t waste your time.”
Ji Yichen smiled faintly. “To have the chance to meet both of you, even a moment longer is an honor for me.”
The churn of discomfort welled up in Xin Nuo’s stomach again. She turned to look at Xu Heran, only to see Xu Heran lowering her head, gazing at her empty wrist.
“But it’s getting late, and we have a lot to do.”
Xin Nuo immediately bit her lip, preventing herself from bursting into laughter.
Ji Yichen awkwardly said, “It turns out I’ve been wasting both of your time. I’m sorry, it seems I’ve made another mistake.”
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the man’s icy face. He lowered his gaze and sighed. “I always struggle with situations like this.”
Xu Heran didn’t have the time to watch his performance. She held Xin Nuo’s hand. “We’re leaving.”
“Goodbye.” Ji Yichen returned to his usual cold expression, but his voice was unusually gentle. “If there’s a chance, I’d like to invite both of you for coffee. I hope you won’t be allergic to coffee.”
“Hmm,” Xu Heran replied without looking back. “That’s not necessarily.”
She waved her hand dismissively.
Xu Heran’s driver brought the car over and stopped in front of them. Xu Heran opened the door, shielding Xin Nuo’s head as she got into the car. Before getting in herself, Xu Heran turned her head slowly. Ji Yichen still held the bouquet of flowers, standing in place and gazing at them. He seemed surprised that Xu Heran would turn around. Ji Yichen flashed a smile, waved at Xu Heran before she got into the car.
“Heh.”
“Bang.”
The car door closed, and Xu Heran frowned. “Not easy to deal with.”
No wonder Nuo Nuo warned me to be careful of being turned against.
Xin Nuo let out a slow breath and pulled a letter from her pocket.
“Should we still send it?” Xu Heran asked. “This guy seems watertight. If we’re not careful, he might not believe us and think we’re trying to sow discord.”
Xin Nuo’s gaze slightly darkened, but she smiled. “It’s okay. We’re just doing what we want to do.”
She turned her head, looking at Xu Heran with a gentle expression. “Zhuzhu, thank you for believing in me.”
Xu Heran hesitated for a moment before quickly replying, “I should be thanking you for believing in me.”
She touched her chin. “It’s my intuition about the rival in love!”
In the front seat, the assistant perked up their ears and turned their head.
Xu Heran immediately feigned a calm expression, opened her phone, and posted a picture of today’s breakfast on Weibo.
SGS Xu Zhuzhu: “Eating this today!”
PearlBeBe: “???”
PearlBeijingClam: “… Xu Zhuzhu! Are you going to post pictures of your meals every day from now on to fool us? We want selfies! Lots of selfies!”
SmallBowlCanEatABigBowl: “Little Zhuzhu angrily banging the bowl.jpg.”
“Look! You’ve angered Bowl Mom! You’re done for!”
“Bowl Mom, quickly draw a hundred pictures of Little Zhuzhu getting beaten up by Nuo Nuo!”
SmallBowlCanEatABigBowl: “Zhuzhu, think twice, my pen is already itching.”
SGS Xu Zhuzhu: “Sure, wait a bit~”
The fans eagerly waited, howling with anticipation.
Thirty seconds later.
SGS Xu Zhuzhu: “Zhuzhu.jpg.”
In the picture, a big, round, white pearl lay in a box, looking incredibly beautiful.
Fans: “…”
A certain Little Zhuzhu still smilingly explained in the comments, “This is the pearl queen from my grandma’s farm this year. Isn’t it pretty?”
SmallBowlCanEatABigBowl: “Xu Zhuzhu!!!”
“You’re done for!!”
The fans raised a clamor, bombarding Xu Heran’s Weibo with pictures of Little Zhuzhu getting beaten up. Little Zhuzhu had a big bump on their head, crying loudly, while a black-clad person wearing a clam shell on their head relentlessly spanked Little Zhuzhu’s butt. Onlookers burst into laughter, with the “Woof, woof” laughter being the loudest.
Amid the lively Weibo comments, people hit the like button and commented, “Cute.” However, the “angry” fans didn’t notice that their comments were buried under a series of pictures.
“Mr. Ji, do you need me to buy some fake likes?” the secretary, who had logged into Ji Yichen’s official Weibo account, asked in a low voice from the backseat.
The man’s expression remained indifferent as he toyed with his phone. “No need.”
Ji Yichen let out a cold chuckle. “This is just the beginning. No need to make a fuss.”
“Understood.” The secretary hurriedly responded, “I’ll follow your instructions and pay particular attention to Miss Xu and Miss Xin Nuo’s Weibo accounts. Occasionally, I’ll check the other six’s Weibo accounts. By the way, should we start the flower deliveries today?”
Ji Yichen looked displeasedly at the secretary. “Idiot.”
The secretary’s arm hair stood on end, and he quickly lowered his head. “Yes.”
“After Xin Nuo leaves Beijing,” Ji Yichen said, reaching for a pair of glasses from the central console in the backseat and putting them on. The thin lenses concealed the cold glint in his eyes. “Also, find a way for Cheng Siying to discover this matter.”
Chengshi Biotech Materials had been developed over twenty-five years, from Siying’s father to her. Now, at its peak, it claimed to cooperate with Chengshi. Chengshi was entirely dependent on Ji Yichen’s funding. If Ji Yichen hadn’t stepped in initially, there wouldn’t have been a Chengshi left in Huazhou. This new material could be seen as Chengshi’s repayment to Ji Yichen. As for marrying Cheng Siying…
Thinking of that cold, dispassionate woman who only cared about research, Ji Yichen curled his lips. When the next groundbreaking material was developed, it would probably take another twenty-five years. Peak Biotech could continue supporting Chengshi Biotech, but they needed to understand that Peak came first and biotech followed. A woman who didn’t bring him benefits was useless even if he married her.
“The Ji family has always been dignified,” Ji Yichen leaned back, looking out at the city’s skyline through the window. His voice was cold. “Make her realize the difficulties and back off.”
The secretary whispered, “Yes.”
He turned around, raised his hand, and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead. Opening his notebook, he scheduled the flower delivery. But… did Ji Yichen really want to pursue Miss Xu, or Miss Xin Nuo? Why send flowers to both at the same time?
Two days later, in the R&D lab of the Peak Tech Building, a young man wearing an access card around his neck held a letter in his hand and entered the room, calling out, “Sister Cheng, there’s a letter for you at the front desk—uh.”
“Put it there.” The woman who was reading a document lowered her head and spoke calmly.
“Okay.” The young man shrugged his shoulders and scuttled away like a crab, escaping from a pair of skeptical eyes. Then he dashed off.
“Heh, no running in the lab. They don’t even understand this simple rule. Cheng Research, look at the kind of people you’re bringing in! At this rate, what results can the research yield? The money allocated to the lab by the company doesn’t come easily. Are you going to let these kinds of people idle away in the lab?” A woman with a human resources department badge, dressed luxuriously, with the latest jewelry adorning her neck, fingers, and ears, her face stretched long, slapped the table in frustration.
The woman behind the desk, who was signing papers, didn’t lift her head. “No loud noise in the lab.”
The HR manager: “…”
“What’s your attitude!”
“Normal attitude.” The speaking woman lifted her face and placed the signed document on the desk. “You may go.”
The person behind the HR manager looked at her expression, hurriedly took the signed document, and casually said, “All signed, right? If it weren’t, I’d have to make another trip. If the financial review doesn’t pass, your department’s salary distribution will be delayed this month.”
When it came to salaries, the HR manager sneered, “With hundreds of people in the head office, your department has the most cases of coming in late and leaving early.”
“Right.” Cheng Siying tossed her pen onto the table and said calmly, “If it wasn’t for your new regulation that people from the Biotech R&D department must work at the head office, these kinds of things wouldn’t have happened.”
The HR manager frowned, “Cheng Siying, it seems you hold a lot of resentment towards the company.”
Cheng Siying didn’t speak, staring at her.
The HR manager: “…”
“Well, there’s nothing that can be done about it. After all, the Bio Institute is now acquired by Peak, and naturally, we have to follow the company’s management. If the employees can’t adapt to the company, it’s just their fate.”
“Of course, they don’t like working at your suburban research institute, do they? But, how come I hear it’s vacant everywhere?” The HR manager’s tone was leisurely. “Cheng Research, you’re part of Peak now too. You’re not secretly continuing research outside the company, are you?”
“No, I’m not.” Cheng Siying sat up straight, lowering her eyelashes. “The research institute has already been sold. Manager Liu, there’s no need to overthink it. Oh, if this is what Mr. Ji means, please convey it for me.”
The woman raised her head, her sharp gaze fixed on Cheng Siying’s face. “If he really doubts you, why not just fire me?”
“You!” The HR manager clenched her fists, her face turning dark. “My surname is Liu!”
“…Oh.” Cheng Siying looked at the work badge on her chest in confusion and whispered, “Changed personnel?”
An employee sitting at a nearby workstation heard her voice clearly and let out a “hehe” laugh.
The HR manager’s relationship with the CEO was an open secret among the company’s employees.
Since last year, when Peak acquired Cheng Bio, and accepted Cheng’s employees, the company’s subtle exclusion of Cheng’s employees became even more apparent. This year, with the formal sale of the new materials to the public, this exclusion was becoming less concealed.
“Hmph, even if I fire you, the contract is in black and white. The new biotechnology of Cheng Bio belongs to Peak. You won’t be able to sell or transfer this technology to others!” The HR manager warned.
“To be precise,” Cheng Siying’s tone was calm, “only the new materials produced this year belong to Peak. I still own the patent rights. It’s just that for the next ten years, I won’t sell or transfer this technology to other companies or individuals.”
She clasped her hands together under her chin, her expression plain. “You can fire me now.”
The laughter of the other employees grew louder. If the HR manager truly had that authority, she wouldn’t have needed to bother Cheng Siying so frequently. When the HR manager left in a huff, a young man who had just entered the room pushed the door open and walked out, muttering “tsk” at the woman and her lackey’s retreating figures.
“Cheng, can we keep enduring this treatment?” The young man, a graduate from Beijing University, had been studying at Cheng Siying’s institute. Even after the acquisition, many people left for various reasons, but a few remained by Cheng Siying’s side.
“Do you have money?” Cheng Siying asked him.
The young man scratched his head.
Previously, for research purposes, Director Cheng had sold the office and negotiated with the acquiring party to deduct a portion of the funds as rent to continue their research. But research was inherently costly, especially when equipment costs reached millions or tens of millions. If it weren’t for this, Cheng Siying wouldn’t have merged with Peak.
“Ah, Cheng, you’re just too soft-hearted. They’ve fooled you!” the young man said angrily.
Before the merger, these people had one attitude, but after the merger, their attitudes instantly transformed, more adept at changing faces than seasoned actors.
“If only I had known, I should have cooperated with the Lus back then,” the young man sighed.
“Could you say something that our Director wants to hear?” the coffee-fetching employee interjected.
The young man quickly apologized to Cheng Siying, “I’m sorry, Cheng, I didn’t mean it that way.”
Cheng Siying rubbed her fingers together and sighed softly, “Blame me.”
Blame her for misjudging people.
And blame the fickleness of human nature. Friends of her father’s from years ago had transformed over time. Perhaps this was their true nature.
“What about the letter?” Cheng Siying asked him.
“Oh right, here it is.” The young man took the letter out of his pocket and murmured, “These days, people still send letters.”
Cheng Siying didn’t speak, looking at the crooked letters on the envelope. She opened the letter, took out the paper inside, and said, “Huh?”
The words on the letter were large, and after Cheng Siying finished reading, she softly exclaimed, realization dawning. “Oh, right, I still have a fiancé.”
“Chhh.”
Laughter filled the room, everyone spraying tea at once. They gathered around, and the young man stared in shock, eyes wide with disbelief, as he looked at Cheng Siying. “Is that for real? How come I didn’t know?”
“Isn’t it Young Master Ji?” the person who had spent the most time in the research institute spoke up. “I remember it was arranged between Director Cheng and Young Master Ji back then.”
“Yeah,” Cheng Siying casually slipped the letter into her notebook. “It’s not a big deal.”
The young man glanced at Cheng Siying, scratching his head, and whispered, “Cheng, do you not seem to like Young Master Ji? Why not break up with him?”
Cheng Siying thought about it for a moment and casually said, “Doesn’t matter. There’s always someone who has a harder time than me.”
The young man didn’t say anything, pouting. The man beside him chuckled, patting his shoulder and winking at him.
They stood chatting at the door. With insufficient funds and incomplete equipment, they couldn’t continue their research. They spent their days drinking tea, reading literature, holding meetings, and making hypotheses here. No wonder the higher-ups looked down on them.
Cheng Siying had struggled relentlessly with Peak, fighting for funds. There was no other way.
At that moment, footsteps and voices echoed from the corridor. The employees of the Biological Research Department saw the leader of the department opposite them smiling as he left.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened?”
Everyone puzzledly moved toward the doorway, and in the corridor, the CEO who had taken a backseat was all smiles, chatting with someone beside him.
“Hey, who’s with CEO Ji? He’s so young and imposing,” a young man poked his head out and commented.
Cheng Siying stood up. “Is CEO Ji visiting the company?”
“Yeah, Cheng, it seems like he’s inspecting things,” the young man turned his head and saw Cheng Siying walking briskly over. He was surprised and asked, “Cheng, where are you going?”
Cheng Siying adjusted her clothes, her tone as calm as her expression. “Need money.”
“Here is our integrated R&D department for this year, focusing on new technologies. Little Xu, your Universal Group is truly remarkable. Three years ago, the artificial service robot you launched received widespread acclaim. I assure you, when your robots are combined with our new materials, it will be the pinnacle of technological cooperation!” The CEO of Peak BioTech was a rather handsome middle-aged man. Despite slightly plumping with age, he appeared vigorous and full of vitality.
“Xiao Xu, besides new materials, are you interested in collaborating with us in other areas?” CEO Ji’s eyes sparkled. Selling only materials wouldn’t earn as much as chips. If they could acquire Universal Group’s chips and replace Universal Technology and Lu Group Technology, they could become an unknown top-tier tech company in China and even globally!
Xu Jiamu’s gaze retracted from the large words hanging on the door, “Artificial Intelligence Chip Research Department.” Expressionless, she said, “I’d like to meet the new materials research team.”
CEO Ji’s expression froze momentarily before he smiled, “Well, Xiaocheng has started developing new projects recently, so she’s quite busy…”
“Not busy,” a cold, indifferent voice interjected. Xu Jiamu turned around, and a woman in a white coat approached. They didn’t exchange glances; she stopped by Xu Jiamu’s side.
A faint scent of laundry detergent wafted over.
“CEO Ji.” The woman nodded at Xu Jiamu and looked at CEO Ji. “Long time no see.”
CEO Ji’s face showed a hint of awkwardness before he quickly smiled, “Siyin, you’re here.”
“Yeah, no vacation for me,” Cheng Siying said.
CEO Ji’s complexion slightly darkened, and he chuckled, “I thought you were busy.”
Cheng Siying nodded, “If the funds were in place.”
“Oh, I heard Ye Chen say that he has already approved the funds for you.” CEO Ji pretended to be puzzled as he asked.
“The Finance Department hasn’t disbursed the funds,” Cheng Siying’s tone grew even calmer.
Xu Jiamu’s gaze landed on the woman in front of her. First impression: pale. Perhaps due to spending extended periods in the laboratory, her skin was almost pale, and her lips had a faint pink hue. Only her eyes were quiet and very dark.
“Okay, I’ll remind Finance to expedite it,” CEO Ji said, not waiting for Cheng Siying to speak. He immediately pointed at Xu Jiamu. “This is Xu Jiamu, Vice President of Universal Group. She’s here this time to discuss cooperation with Peak.”
“Professor Cheng, your reputation precedes you,” Xu Jiamu extended her hand. “The new materials are quite impressive.”
“Thank you,” Cheng Siying raised her hand.
The touch of two slightly cool palms met, clasped, and as they separated, the residual warmth that gathered in their palms dissipated in an instant.
“It’s my father’s achievement; I’m just realizing his vision and continuing down the path he paved,” Cheng Siying said.
The secretary behind Xu Jiamu smiled, “Before coming to your esteemed company, President Xu personally went to see you—”
Xu Jiamu suddenly raised her hand, interrupting her.
Cheng Siying paused, lifted her gaze, and earnestly looked at the impeccably dressed woman. She had never been particularly sensitive to beauty, but at the moment their faces touched, she still felt a brief moment of astonishment at the woman’s beauty.
“Hello, I’ve heard that Universal Group is planning to cooperate with Lu Group and establish a new technology park in Beijing,” Cheng Siying said warmly. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
CEO Ji, listening warily to their conversation, immediately chimed in, “I’ve also heard Ye Chen talk about this. Xiao Xu, don’t just cooperate with the Lu Group. Take a look at Peak as well. Let’s all progress together and promote global technological development.”
With his hands behind his back, he smiled. “I’m curious, what are the conditions for your technology park collaboration?”
Xu Jiamu’s voice was calm. “Initial investment, 3 billion.”
CEO Ji’s fingers trembled for a moment. He furrowed his brows, calculated, and gritted his teeth. “In that case, 1 billion. Peak can still manage.”
The secretary behind Xu Jiamu laughed. “It’s 30 billion from both sides.”
“Alright.”
CEO Ji fell silent and swallowed.
Three seconds later, he laughed. “Peak is on board!”
The woman, as cold as ice and snow, didn’t reply. She raised her head to look at the nine words on the opposite door, “Artificial Intelligence Chip Research Department,” and continued, “As well as the chip technology from both sides.”
“Gulp.” CEO Ji’s eyes widened, and three words echoed in his mind: No way! Are they crazy? Universal Technology and Lu Group Technology offering their most outstanding technology for mutual research? If one side backs out, the entire company would be ruined! And the chips from Universal and Lu Group are currently the best in the world. Why on earth would they want to do this? Isn’t money enticing enough for them?
Moreover, the chips from Universal and Lu Group are currently the best in the world. Why on earth would they want to do this? Isn’t money enticing enough for them?
Xu Jiamu lowered her gaze and glanced at Cheng Siying. As if answering the doubt in CEO Ji’s heart, she replied, “Universal and Lu Group have more than just technology.”
Her words landed, and CEO Ji froze. He awkwardly chuckled, “Haha, yes, come on, Little… President Xu, let me take you upstairs for some tea.”
“No need,” Xu Jiamu glanced at her wristwatch and said softly, “I have a meeting to attend.”
CEO Ji hastily said, “Then our collaboration…”
A person walked out from behind Xu Jiamu and smiled, “Starting from today, I’ll be in charge of this project. CEO Ji, greetings. I am from Universal…”
While they spoke, Xu Jiamu turned her profile and looked at Cheng Siying. Cheng Siying was stunned, her gaze filled with confusion as she returned the look. Two expressionless faces met.
Cheng Siying tugged at the corners of her mouth, offering a polite smile.
Xu Jiamu shifted her gaze away.
Cheng Siying: “…”
CEO Ji was growing impatient. He came all the way to the company to meet Xu Jiamu, but she was acting even more aloof than him. Indeed, young people these days were so arrogant. However, if he had the capital of Universal, perhaps he’d be even more arrogant than her.
CEO Ji was pondering this when he was distracted, not paying attention to the manager who was rambling in front of him. He was considering how to keep Xu Jiamu a little longer. Suddenly, the elevator doors opened, and CEO Ye Chen entered with a group of people. CEO Ji glanced at his handsome and outstanding son, then looked at Xu Jiamu beside him, and his eyes lit up.
“I heard about President Xu’s visit to the company. I just rushed back from outside. Forgive my tardiness,” CEO Ye Chen extended his hand to Xu Jiamu.
CEO Ji smiled and said, “Xiao Xu, come, let me introduce you. This is my son, who is also young and promising like you. I’ve entrusted most of the company matters to him. He’s never made a mistake. You two should get to know each other.”
Xu Jiamu glanced up and down at CEO Ye Chen. Her brows and eyes remained icy and unfazed, “I’ve heard about you.”
Ye Chen withdrew his hand, smiling, “Nice to meet you.”
CEO Ji patted Ye Chen’s back and chuckled, “I heard that you, too, are single. Our Ye Chen here, this year—”
“Father-in-law,” the woman behind Xu Jiamu spoke, walking to Ye Chen’s side whose expression suddenly tensed. She turned to Xu Jiamu and said, “I am his fiancé.”
CEO Ji: “…”
Damn it, he suddenly remembered this.
Xu Jiamu’s gaze shifted between the two standing side by side, “Congratulations?”
“Thank you,” Cheng Siying nodded.
The atmosphere turned subtly awkward. Xu Jiamu took the opportunity to bid farewell. After the people from Universal had boarded the elevator and gone downstairs, before CEO Ji could erupt in anger, Cheng Siying asked Ye Chen, “Why hasn’t the company transferred the three billion?”
“Fiancé?”
The three words jolted Ye Chen, sending a shiver down his spine. He frowned, saying, “When did the company have three billion?”
If they had three billion, would he be out investing everywhere?
Cheng Siying looked at CEO Ji.
CEO Ji sneered, “I want to participate in Universal Lu’s new tech park project. Compared to our current new materials, that’s where the real money is!”
“And you, with no insight at all, how can you be a calculating family’s daughter-in-law?” CEO Ji took the chance to say, “This matter needs further discussion, I believe.”
“Sure,” Cheng Siying replied, “I won’t let the outside world know about the turmoil within the Ji family.”
CEO Ji’s words got stuck in his throat. He suddenly remembered the arranged marriage between the Ji family and the Cheng family. At that time, Cheng’s father was still alive and well-known. He had worked tirelessly to become close friends with Cheng’s father and arranged this marriage. The engagement banquet of the two children at the time was grandly held, and many upper-class figures in the capital knew about it.
Fortunes change; what was once a good marriage has become a burden. CEO Ji thought about this and felt a surge of frustration. Fortunately, the new materials had ultimately fallen into the hands of Peak, or else he would have been infuriated.
“Don’t speak irresponsibly,” Ye Chen frowned, “Go back to work.”
Cheng Siying raised her gaze, “Transfer the funds?”
Ye Chen loosened his tie and sighed, “I’m very tired today. I’ll make sure to handle this matter for you as soon as possible.”
He extended his hand, taking out a jewelry box from his pocket.
“A gift for you,” Ye Chen said warmly, “Your birthday is coming up soon.”
Cheng Siying took it, glanced at the contents inside, then closed the box and handed it back to Ye Chen.
“Convert it to cash.”
Ye Chen: “…”
“You, look at yourself. You’re so engrossed in research, can’t you have a bit of femininity!” CEO Ji waved his hand, “Well, let’s end it here for today. Everyone, disperse.”
He nudged Ye Chen and led him into the elevator. Before entering the elevator, CEO Ji took the jewelry box from Ye Chen’s hand and casually tossed it to the woman standing at the door, smiling mischievously, saying, “Hold onto it for fun.”
“Thank you, CEO Ji~” the woman said sweetly.
“Dad,” Ye Chen frowned.
“It’s fine,” CEO Ji chuckled, patting his son’s shoulder.
Ye Chen turned around and gave Cheng Siying a helpless expression outside the elevator.
The elevator door closed, and the HR manager rolled her eyes at Cheng Siying, “Can’t appreciate good things.”
Cheng Siying put her hands in her coat pockets and smiled rarely, “Goodbye, dear mother-in-law.”
HR Manager: “…”
A fleet of shiny black luxury cars drove on the road, and the woman in the middle car’s back seat picked up her phone.
“Pei’er, things have gotten a bit serious,” she said to Xu Heran.
“Ye Chen’s fiancée is deeply attached to him, defending him quite fiercely.”
“Ah…” Xu Heran sent back a small emoji with a stunned expression, “Is she deceived by that scumbag too deeply?”
“Do you think we can still save her?”
Xu Jiamu pondered, “I don’t know.”
“What if we let her discover the true face of the scumbag? Could that help her break free?”
Xu Jiamu mused, “Perhaps?”
“Sis, you’re the only one who can interact with Ye Chen’s fiancée now. Do you want to save her?”
Xu Jiamu fell silent, “How can I save her?”
In the dormitory, Xu Heran lay on the bed, scratching her head, typing on the keyboard.
“Since Ye Chen has a fiancée but still dares to flirt with young girls, my dear sister, you look so good. So, why don’t you go seduce his fiancée!” Xu Heran burst into laughter, “Not only would you help her escape a bad situation, but you’d also solve your own marriage problem. When Mom finds out, she’ll definitely give me a big red envelope!”
“Ecstatic Little Pearl Dancing Wildly.jpg”
A minute later, Xu Jiamu’s message finally arrived.
“Goodbye.”
