"scald?"

Ji Boyan glanced at Lin Manzhi's burns and raised his eyelids to look at her.

His eyes darkened slightly.

"When did you get burned? When you saved me last night? How did you save me? Those criminals let you go, where did you hide? There didn't seem to be any place to hide near that factory..."

"Ah, I don't remember."

Lin Manzhi was stunned for a moment by Ji Boyan's question.

Could it be that he doubted her?

"Mr. Ji, are you doubting me?"

Lin Manzhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and she bit her lip.

"I can't remember what happened after that. If you have any doubts, just pretend it wasn't me who saved you. I know we're not from the same class, so whatever I do will be suspected of having ulterior motives, right?"

Ji Boyan frowned, unable to explain, but he inexplicably felt that it was not Xia Wanrou who saved him.

Lin Manzhi's expression changed.

Suddenly he stood up, wiped away his tears fiercely, and said angrily,

"Mr. Ji!"

"I know you upper-class people look down on us commoners. Everything we do is suspected. Are you suspecting me of stealing other people's credit? I'm not that despicable!"

"I never thought of plotting anything against you! It wasn't my fault that I was with you in the first place! You forced me to do it when you were drunk. Have you forgotten that?"

"Because of you, I became a mistress that everyone looked down upon!"

"Yes, when you said you wanted to sign the lover's contract, it was my own decision and no one forced me. I admit that I fell in love with you that night. I was too love-brained."

"But then I figured it out. I don't want to be the third party that destroys other people's families. It was because you said you and Xizhi's sister had no feelings for each other and would get divorced sooner or later that I continued to be with you!"

"Mr. Ji, although my family is not well off, I am also a good girl. I was admitted to university by my own ability, and I work hard by my own ability! Do you know how much strange looks I have endured as your mistress? Have you ever considered my feelings?!"

When she said this, Lin Manzhi's voice started to cry.

"If you don't believe me, I'll just leave!"

Ji Boyan suppressed some of the thoughts in his chest, pursed his lips slightly, and apologized proactively.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Your arm hurts, right? Let me apply some medicine on you."

It was indeed his fault in the beginning because he forced himself on her after getting drunk.

A good girl was turned into a mistress who was not allowed to be seen in public.

In this matter, he really was not kind to her.

Although he apologized, Ji Boyan inexplicably didn't want to get close to Lin Manzhi anymore.

After taking the medicine, he didn't say anything else.

Lin Manzhi didn't notice anything and just thought he was tired.

After Lin Manzhi answered the phone and left.

Ji Boyan didn't know what he was thinking, so he took out his cell phone and called the housekeeper at home.

"Is Xizhi at home?"

The other end of the phone: "My wife didn't come back all night."

Ji Boyan's eyes changed slightly, he hung up the phone and dialed Xia Xizhi's cell phone number.

......

Xia Xi was so angry that he was about to get out of bed and give Li Xiao some punches.

The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Xia Xizhi picked it up and answered it. Ji Boyan's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?"

"Uh, at a friend's house."

Xia Xizhi was a little confused when she saw Ji Boyan calling her suddenly.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

"Did you go last night..."

Before he could finish, Li Xiao suddenly came over, pressed on her, and bit the tip of her ear.

"you!"

Xia Xizhi couldn't help but let out a breathy groan.

Before Ji Boyan could finish his words, the coquettish voice made his eyes change slightly.

"Are you...anyone with you?"

Xia Xizhi coughed lightly to cover it up.

"No, no. I just got a call from Brother Boyan and was so excited that I bumped into it accidentally."

Li Xiao's face suddenly turned sinister, and his eyes were filled with intense jealousy.

He picked up Xia Xizhi and turned her over. They switched places. After placing her on his lap, he pulled down the straps around her shoulders and suddenly buried his head in her chest...

Xia Xizhi suddenly froze, his face flushed red, and he pulled his hair and tried to grab his head.

Hiss! Are you born in the year of the dog?

Xia Xizhi cursed inwardly, gritting his teeth to suppress the strangeness in his voice.

"Well, Brother Boyan. I have something urgent to do. I'll call you back later."

After saying that, he quickly hung up.

Then he pushed Li Xiao down fiercely, grabbed his tie, pulled it over, and looked down at him with a wicked look on his face.

"Play, right? Sister will have fun with you."

.......

On the other end of the phone.

Ji Boyan was silent for a long time.

This seemed to be the first time Xia Xizhi took the initiative to hang up on him.

The voice she just made...

Ji Boyan couldn't help but think of the two words Li Xiao in his mind.

......

Two hours later.

This time it was Xia Xizhi's turn to walk out of the bedroom with a satisfied look on his face and his head held high, feeling refreshed.

Although Li Xiao behind him looked dissatisfied, he smiled helplessly and dotingly at Xia Xizhi's expression.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with you? We already told you that no whole eggs are allowed into the manor, whether they're chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, or anything else. Why did you sneak eggs in again?"

As soon as Xia Xizhi went downstairs, he saw the cook scolding the chubby girl in front of her.

"Aunt Cui, I'm sorry, I forgot..." the girl shrank her neck.

"Next time, don't buy any eggs and put them in the manor. If President Li sees this, don't blame me if you lose your job. This is the rule set by President Li."

"I see."

This made Xia Xizhi pause, puzzled.

"What's wrong with eggs? Why is there such a weird rule?"

At this moment, a chilly sound came from behind.

"Because I'm worried that someone might take the wrong medicine and choke to death on the egg..."

Xia Xizhi: ...

Okay, the case is solved, it turns out it was because of her.

"Haha. The probability is quite small. I won't do it anyway."

Xia Xizhi laughed awkwardly and changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't really appreciated Mr. Li's manor yet."

As he spoke, Xia Xizhi walked quickly towards the yard with a guilty conscience.

Xia Xizhi was shocked when he carefully admired Li Xiao's house for the first time in broad daylight.

In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, his family occupies an entire mountain.

Combining the shape of the mountain itself, a house like a royal castle was built, making you feel like you are in a fairy tale world.

The back half of the mountain is planted with fruit trees, which are taken care of by servants every day. In front is a large lawn of unknown area, with a private plane parked in the middle.

She wouldn't dare do this even if she was dreaming of being a boss...

Noticed Xia Xizhi's stunned look.

Li Xiao curled his lips.

As expected, he is still that little money-grubber.

That would be easy.

"Alas, such a large estate has no mistress. It's boring. I have too much money and I'm worried about not being able to spend it all. I have too many properties and it's troublesome. I'll donate some more when I have time."

Li Xiao looked at the housekeeper beside him helplessly.

"Butler, tell me what other properties I have."

The old butler beside him immediately understood, coughed lightly, and said in a loud voice,

"Your main industries are real estate, shipping, ports, and import and export trade. In the past two years, you have also entered the film and television industry. Your assets exceed the total of all the wealthy people in Hong Kong. You are beyond their reach!

Whoever follows you will be the happiest, richest, and most prestigious lady in Hong Kong!"

Xia Xizhi: ...

What a low-end way to show off wealth.

But she was actually damn moved!

Damn it!

Xia Xizhi tightly shut his mouth, fearing that he would accidentally blurt out a word.

"Me, me, me! I can be the happiest, richest, and most prestigious lady in Hong Kong!"

Just then, someone came jogging over.

"Mr. Li, the lady is here."
