Li Jing had already investigated this clubhouse before he came. The backer of this place was the Zhuang family.
Z Group was a family business mainly in the entertainment industry. After making a fortune in Thailand and dominating almost half of Thailand’s entertainment industry, it had slowly shifted its focus to China in the past few years…
The current chairman of Z Group was Zhuang Tianxiong. He had a son and a daughter. The son’s name was Zhuang Zhijie, and the daughter was Zhuang Meiqi!
Zhuang Tianxiong doted on his daughter very much. That was why she had developed such an arrogant personality.
Seeing her today, she was indeed as arrogant as the rumors said. In fact, she was even more exaggerated!
It seemed that if he wanted to take Jian Dan away today, he could only use his CEO’s name.
“Miss Zhuang, this is Mr. Chu’s wife. Can you let her leave with me on account of Mr. Chu?”
Li Jing was indeed someone who had been working for Chu Liyuan for so many years. He maintained his elegance and professionalism even under such circumstances.
“Hmph! Mr. Li, don’t be ungrateful. I’m already doing you a huge favor by letting you take your woman away. You’d better not push your luck.”
“In our circle, who doesn’t know that Chu Liyuan has never had a woman by his side, let alone married? Don’t you think it’s too fake to use such an excuse?”
“I heard that Mr. Chu is on a business trip now. If he finds out that you’re throwing his name around like this, I wonder how he’ll deal with you?” “Miss Zhuang, I’m telling the truth!”
“Do you think I’ll believe you? Since that’s the case, I don’t mind telling you. 1 came back this time for a matchmaking session with Chu Liyuan. If all goes well, I’ll be the future Mrs. Chu, so you’d better not cross me. Otherwise, when I become Mrs. Chu, I’ll make you suffer.”
Matchmaking session What’s going on? Uncle is going for a matchmaking session? That’s absolutely impossible. Uncle is already married. How can he still go for a matchmaking session? This woman must be spouting nonsense.
“Li Jing… You’re wrong to say that. How could you use Liyuan’s name to deceive Miss Zhuang when he’s on a business trip?”
Everyone’s attention turned to the man who had just entered… especially what he had just said!
Sizhe? What did he mean by that?
Jian Dan, Li Jing, and Mengjiao could not figure out what he meant.
“Hello, Miss Zhuang. I’m Sizhe!”
“So it’s the second young master of the Shang family, Shang Sizhe. Hello!” From Zhuang Meiqi’s attitude, it was obvious how powerful the Shang family was.
“Miss Zhuang, don’t listen to Li Jing’s nonsense. How can Jian Dan be Liyuan’s wife?”
“I don’t believe it at all! How can such a trick deceive me?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Miss Zhuang, not only are you beautiful, but you’re also so smart. As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family!”
“Mr. Shang, you flatter me!” Although her words were humble, her tone brimmed with pride.
“Since we’ve cleared things up, I’ll take this woman away.”
“Hold your horses, Miss Zhuang. 1 am taking this woman away,” Sizhe said as he stopped her.
“Why? Have you taken a fancy to her?”
“Nope!”
“Then are you deliberately trying to go against me?”
“Of course not.”
“Since that’s the case, she’s neither Chu Liyuan’s woman nor yours. Why do you want to take her away?”
“Although she’s not Liyuan’s woman or mine, she’s my brother’s woman!”
As soon as he said that, Jian Dan’s eyes widened by 180 times!
Even Li Jing and Mengjiao were shocked.
Whafs Sizhe up to? I haven’t even met his brother. How did I become his woman?
“Oh, is what you said really true?”
“Of course it’s true. It’s hard to say—she might be my future sister-in-law. My brother dotes on her very much!”
“Since she’s your brother’s woman, why didn’t your brother come? If it’s really as you said—your brother dotes on her very much—why didn’t he come personally?”
“Because we haven’t told my brother about this yet! If my brother finds out that my sister-in-law has suffered here, he will definitely tear this place apart today.”
“I felt that there was no need to go that far, so I didn’t tell my brother. Let me bring my sister-in-law back.”
“Mr. Shang, do you think I’m a fool? Do you really think I’ll believe that the dignified Mr. Shang Simiao of the Shang family would make such a big fuss over a woman?”
“Miss Zhuang, you have no idea. But if you see how my brother treats my sister-in-law, you will understand that my brother dotes on her to the point of insanity.”
Sizhe said it so clearly and seriously that even Jian Dan herself believed that she was really his sister-in-law.
Although they did not know why Sizhe did this, the three of them knew that he did it to save Jian Dan, so they tacitly did not say anything.
Zhuang Meiqi sized up Sizhe with a scrutinizing gaze. After a long while, she smiled and said, “Since she’s Mr Shang Simiao’s favorite, how can I not do him the favor then? She can leave with you!”
“Thank you, Miss Zhuang!”
Sizhe turned around and walked over to Jian Dan. “Sister-in-law, let’s go!”
Just as they reached the door, Zhuang Meiqi spoke again, “It’s already very late. 1’11 send someone to send you and this lady back!”
“No need, we can find our own way back!”
“How can that do? Why do you want to reject my kind gesture?”
It was obvious that she did not fully believe it!
“Thank you then, Miss Zhuang.”
Sizhe knew that if he refused, he would definitely be exposed, so he could only agree.
“Li Jing, you guys go back first! Sister-in-law and I will make a move first…”
Li Jing wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhuang Meiqi, he swallowed his words and left with Mengjiao…
Jian Dan—accompanied by Sizhe—got into the car Zhuang Meiqi had arranged for them…
Just as the car was about to drive away, Zhuang Meiqi spoke again, “By the way, Z Group has a ball the day after tomorrow. 1 hope that both you and your brother will attend with this beautiful lady…” Zhuang Meiqi looked at Jian Dan meaningfully.
It seemed that Miss Zhuang was prepared to fight her to the death…
“Don’t worry, we’ll be there on time! We’ll get going first!”
“I look forward to seeing all of you then.”
Although they had left that place, Xian Jin was still unable to relax because they were in Zhuang Meiqi’s car…
