Don't meet me in your next life.

Xiang Yiyi snapped out of her thoughts and apologized to her assistant, "I'm sorry."

The assistant glanced at his phone but didn't say anything more.

Xiang Yi got up to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup and sent a text message to Lin Zhenghao.

Her phone vibrated again right after she sent the text message.

Xiang Yi looked at the message and saw that it was sent by Lin Zhenghao.

"You don't want to see me?"

Xiang Yi was taken aback.

What does he mean?

Isn't he a commoner?

She remembered that he had offered a dowry of five million to persuade her to marry Gu Zeyu.

Isn't he a commoner?

Then... isn't he just an ordinary citizen?

Just then, the clattering of high heels came from outside, followed by a charming female voice.

"Oh, Chairman Lin, what brings you to the company? Did you come to see me?"

A stunning woman in a fiery red halter dress swayed her slender waist as she walked toward Lin Zhenghao, her two full breasts bouncing incessantly.

"Yes, that's why I came to see you." Lin Zhenghao's face revealed a lewd expression.

"What do you want from me? I'm very busy."

"What are you busy with? Keep the old man company, have some tea and chat!" Lin Zhenghao pulled the beautiful woman into his arms.

He planted a big kiss on the beautiful woman's cheek. "Little darling, you'll be a good girl and stay with me tonight!"

Xiang Yi frowned; this man was disgusting!

"I don't want to stay with you, you should leave!"

The beautiful woman struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to comply, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Alright then."

The two were whispering sweet nothings in the office, oblivious to everyone else, making Xiang Yi's eyes glaze over.

"Mr. Lin, since you have nothing else to do, I'll be taking my leave now."

Xiang Yi stood up, intending to leave.

Lin Zhenghao suddenly grabbed her.

"Yi Yi, you're my niece-in-law, how can you not work here? That's not in accordance with the rules!"

Xiang Yi frowned. "What does this have to do with rules? Mr. Lin, what you're saying is hilarious. Do you think everyone is like you, only thinking about money and women all day long?"

“Yi Yi…” Lin Zhenghao’s face instantly turned dark.

That brat, how dare she insult him!

This is his shame.

"you......"

Lin Zhenghao pointed at her, about to unleash a torrent of abuse, when Xiang Yiyi immediately feigned fear, hiding behind Lin Xiaoqian and trembling as she called out, "Mr...Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin."

She hid behind Lin Xiaoqian and asked timidly, "Did you need something from me?"

Lin Xiaoqian smiled at Lin Zhenghao, "Uncle Lin, don't bully that young girl; she's still a student."

"A student?!" Lin Zhenghao's face turned ashen.

Why didn't he think of that?

This girl is obviously inexperienced; how could he bear to bully such a tender girl?

He was just trying to teach her a lesson.

Xiang Yi glanced at Lin Zhenghao and noticed that his expression had softened considerably.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhenghao snorted coldly, "Have you heard recently that Gu Zeyu from the Gu family is getting engaged to Miss Sheng from Shengkai?"

Shengkai?!

Xiang Yi was stunned. He couldn't be referring to...

She remembered what Gu Zeyu had said to her the night before.

He said he and Sheng Kai were friends.

No wonder he helped Sheng Kai deal with Xiang Yiyi.

But what does this have to do with him?

She's Gu Zeyu's fiancée, so what does that have to do with him?

Could it be that he likes Miss Sheng?

A hint of surprise flickered in Xiang Yi's eyes.

"What's it to you?"

"Gu Zeyu and our Lin family have been friends for generations, and I've always had a good relationship with his father. I hope you'll keep your distance from Gu Zeyu in the future and not get close to him again."

"No, I just love Gu Zeyu!" Xiang Yi said resolutely, "Unless you agree to give up Gu Zeyu, I will absolutely not leave him!"

"You're dreaming!" Lin Zhenghao slapped him across the face.

With a loud bang, Xiang Yi shrank back and covered her face in fright.

"Let me tell you, if you dare mess with my son again, I'll make you regret it!"

"I just like Gu Zeyu, what are you going to do about it?"

Xiang Yi straightened her back and stared at him without flinching.

Lin Zhenghao trembled with rage.

"You woman, you're asking for it!" he said, about to strike. Xiang Yi retreated in a panic, but accidentally knocked over a table.

With a crash, the documents on the table scattered all over the floor.

Her ankle also bumped against the corner of the table.

"Hiss--" Xiang Yi gasped.

"Ah, my foot is bleeding..."

She bent her legs in pain, her eyes welling up with tears, on the verge of crying.

"Yi Yi, what's wrong?"

Lin Zhenghao was terrified when he saw that her foot was bleeding.

He quickly knelt down to check on her, "Yi Yi, I'm so sorry... don't cry."

"I didn't cry..." Xiang Yi stubbornly wiped away her tears.

"I really didn't cry."

Lin Zhenghao was so anxious he was almost going crazy.

"Yi Yi, just bear with it, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

He grabbed her feet, picked her up, and ran out.

His speed was extremely fast, and Xiang Yi had no chance to resist at all.

She felt a piercing pain in her ankle, but she had no strength at all.

"Yi Yi, don't cry! You have to hold on, nothing can happen, do you hear me? You have to stay strong..."

Lin Zhenghao shouted anxiously, his voice choked with emotion.

Lin Xiaoqian stood there watching Lin Zhenghao carry Xiang Yiyi away, a sinister smile on her face.

Haha, it seems Lin Zhenghao is nothing special after all.

She was willing to do anything to break up Gu Zeyu and Xiang Yiyi!

"Mr. Lin, please wait!" Lin Xiaoqian chased after him and blocked his way.

Lin Zhenghao frowned. "What do you want to do?"

"I'd like to discuss the contract with Mr. Lin."

“This is a private matter between Mr. Lin and me,” Lin Zhenghao replied coldly.

"I'm not here to discuss the contract. I just want to remind you that Miss Xiang is already married, which is bad for your reputation and that of the Gu Group. I hope you will consider this carefully."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenghao's face flashed with disgust.

"You don't need to worry about it."

He picked up Xiang Yiyi and hurriedly left.

Lin Xiaoqian gritted her teeth, watching him carry Xiang Yiyi away, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

Damn it, she didn't kill Xiang Yiyi, but instead let that bitch get away with it!

She absolutely cannot allow herself to fail!

......

Gu Group.

Xiang Yi sat in her office, lost in thought.

She saw Gu Zeyu and Sheng Kai discussing the progress of the project. The two were having a pleasant conversation and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

She knew that Shengkai had always wanted to promote Shengshi Group's products in China, and this contract was very important to Shengshi.

Gu Zeyu has rarely managed the Sheng family business, so his willingness to step down this time is enough to prove how much he values ​​the Sheng family's assets.

She picked up a pen from the table, casually sketched a design drawing, and placed it beside her.
