A blind date, a flash marriage, and a stepmother, the billionaire praised her every day

Liang Ziyue leaned back in her chair, daydreaming about her future.

She has been working for nearly four years, but she is still just a small reporter and has not even climbed to the position of deputy editor-in-chief.

In this industry, if you want to succeed, both ability and connections are essential.

Just like their team leader Deng Wei, her parents are in business. Although they are not very rich, they have contributed a lot to her work.

Deng Wei could easily interview the presidents of several major branches, but she couldn't.

She has no background and no one gives her face.

No matter where you go, personal connections are important.

At first, Liang Ziyue was very disgusted by this. She thought that as long as she worked hard enough, she would be able to write good manuscripts and be reused.

But she was wrong. Treating different people differently is an underlying rule no matter where you are.

Liang Ziyue secretly made up her mind that she must have a good relationship with Qiao Chuchu and take advantage of her to become successful soon.

Friday night, in a Thai restaurant.

When Qiao Chuchu saw Liang Ziyue and just sat down, a gift box was handed to her.

"What are you doing? Did you get a raise? It's not my birthday, why are you buying me a gift? Why is it so expensive?" Qiao Chuchu teased her with a smile.

Liang Ziyue had on delicate makeup and a bright smile, but it was no longer like the simple gathering of friends as before. There was a hint of exploitation in her eyes.

"It's a celebratory gift. You didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Do you still think I'm a good friend?"

She deliberately put on a complaining look, and then smiled, "Congratulations, Chuchu, should I call you Miss Jing from now on?"

Qiao Chuchu was stunned. She had never told anyone about her life experience except for those who were present that day.

However, Liang Ziyue is a journalist, and a financial journalist at that, with wide channels of information, so it is not surprising that she knows this.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you." Qiao Chuchu explained.

Liang Ziyue nodded, "Of course I know, you don't like to be ostentatious. Chuchu, I'm really happy for you, not everyone has such a blessing."

"You see, when your adoptive parents were alive, they loved you very much. Now you have found your biological parents, and they are from such a wealthy family. Chuchu, you are really going to make others envious."

Qiao Chuchu just smiled and didn't say much.

"I bought you some perfume. It should be a scent you like, floral and fruity."

Liang Ziyue observed Qiao Chuchu's expression. She had spent a huge amount of money to buy this thing, a famous brand, which cost a quarter of her salary.

"Thank you, Ziyue." Qiao Chuchu accepted her kindness and said, "Don't be so reserved in the future."

Qiao Chuchu knew that she was working hard in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and was under great work pressure, and that it was not easy for everyone to make money.

When they meet next time, she will give her a gift in return.

Qiao Chuchu doesn't like to owe favors to others.

It was a pleasant dinner.

Liang Ziyue knew a lot about Qiao Chuchu after four years of school, and had some understanding of her personality. Liang Ziyue did not mention the Jing family too much, nor did she directly ask Qiao Chuchu to help her with her work.

Everything must be done slowly.

The most important thing now is to establish a good relationship with Qiao Chuchu and become her best friend.

"By the way, Chuchu, are you very busy lately? How come you don't have time to come out on Saturdays and Sundays?" Liang Ziyue asked.

Qiao Chuchu didn't tell her that she was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. She didn't know whether she could pass it, so it was better to keep it to herself.

"I have to take care of the kids." Qiao Chuchu used Huo Ziyan as an excuse, "He has to attend interest classes."

That's right. Huo Yunzheng signed Huo Ziyan up for a piano lesson, which will be a three-hour class on Saturday afternoon.

"Okay, okay." Liang Ziyue smiled, "Next time if the time is convenient, you can call your husband and son out together, so that we can play together and it will be more lively."

"By the way, Chuchu, the last time you went back to your biological parents' home, your husband accompanied you, right? Was he also surprised by your golden identity?"

In the photo taken by a friend, there were only Qiao Chuchu and the Jing family in formal attire, but no trace of the man.

Liang Ziyue still remembers his face clearly.

It’s strange to say, Qiao Chuchu introduced her husband as a small businessman, but Liang Ziyue always felt that the man had a kind of aura.

The arrogance that belongs exclusively to those in a higher position.

Having worked in this industry for nearly four years, she has also met several business tycoons at some events. The business world is like a battlefield. After being immersed in it for a long time, it will give people a unique feeling. At first glance, they are different from ordinary people and those nouveau riche.

As for that man, this kind of magnetic field is very strong.

"He went there too." Qiao Chuchu replied, "Because he had to rush back to take care of things in the store and work, so we didn't stay in Beijing for long."

Liang Ziyue hummed, skipped the topic and talked to her about other things.

At nearly nine o'clock, Liang Ziyue saw Huo Yunzheng standing at the door of the restaurant.

He came to pick up Qiao Chuchu.

"Chu Chu, your husband is so good to you."

With a smile and a hint of envy on her face, she said, "Oh, I wish I could find a boyfriend someday so I don't have to squeeze into the subway by myself."

"Let's take you back." Qiao Chuchu suggested.

Huo Yunzheng was standing next to his wife. He frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Liang Ziyue was not polite either. She carried her small leather bag and took Qiao Chuchu's arm. "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."

From the restaurant to the residential area where Liang Ziyue lived, Huo Yunzheng didn't say a word from beginning to end. Only when the woman got out of the car did his brows gradually relax.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and held Qiao Chuchu's hand with the other, stroking the back of her hand out of habit.

That was fine, Qiao Chuchu watched helplessly as the man's hand moved lower and lower...

Where is he touching?

"Huo Yunzheng."

The man looked straight ahead at the road, seemingly not noticing the dissatisfaction in his wife's tone.

"Don't touch legs while driving, and don't drive if you touch legs!"

Huo Yunzheng laughed out loud. Where did she learn these words from?

She saw that not only did he not stop, but he went even further, not only touching her, but also pinching her flesh.

"You're so skinny!" Huo Yunzheng glanced at her legs and then asked, "Didn't I give you food to eat?"

Qiao Chuchu despised him, thinking that the grown man's repetitive words were disgusting.

Because she always spoke to baby Zi Yan like this, and he actually learned how to do it!

"I'm not not eating. It's obviously you who pressured me..."

Huo Yunzheng looked at her again, with a smile and a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"What do I press?"

Qiao Chuchu turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"You squeeze me!"

Isn't it said on the Internet that men start to go downhill after they turn 25? It's said that a man in his 30s will never be as good as a man in his 20s.

Huo Yunzheng is already over 30 years old, but his physical strength is still so good?
