MEETING

CHAPTER 101 - PROVOCATION

Tang Zeyu was a little worried about his wife who came to the company on the first day. Thus, she left the office and prepared to go to the attic. In the corridor, she seemed to see An Ran's back and was about to confirm that it was her.

Seeing Tang Zeyu, An Ran walked towards her.

Why are you still in the company? Tang Zeyu said.

Although I'm not working for the company right now, I'm still a part of the company. An Ran somehow gained the courage to face Tang Zeyu arrogantly.

Tang Zeyu looked at him deeply, then turned around with the intention to leave.

Where's Yun Xi? An Ran's voice came from behind.

When the employees who passed by saw this scene, they did not dare to stay any longer and quickly distanced themselves from the two. They did not understand how An Ran, who was originally only a secretary, dared to confront the CEO. Was it because the CEO's wife returned to work? After all, who didn't know that the relationship between An Ran and the Madam President was very good?

Of course, these were only their guesses. No one did anything in terms of performance.

Tang Zeyu stood there, feeling more and more that she was no longer An Ran. He became agitated, turned around and said loudly: This is inside the company, set yourself up, if you do not want to work at the company, then leave immediately!

The loud voice startled everyone who was working in the office. When they heard the voice of the president, they sneaked their heads out to see what was going on.

Of course, what Tang Zeyu said was heard by everyone and gave them a shock.

An Ran had obviously been shocked by Tang Zeyu's words. She hadn't thought that the young master of the Tang Family, who usually did not easily get angry, would get angry at her because of this woman.

Listen carefully.

With that, Tang Zeyu left. An Ran was still in a state of shock as she watched his back grow further and further away. Looking at those who were looking at her, An Ran smiled awkwardly before she left.

An Ran's hatred towards Zhong Yunxi deepened a little. If it wasn't for this woman, she wouldn't be so embarrassed. Jealousy made An Ran add all of the reasons onto Zhong Yunxi's body.

Just as they arrived at the entrance to the company, two young girls entered. They were two unfamiliar faces and when An Ran glanced at them, she guessed that they must have just arrived at the company. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a conversation between two girls.

Madam President? I heard she just came back. One of the girls said.

That's right, the other girl said. The two of us have just arrived, so we don't know how the company used to be, but I heard that Director Yun experienced some sort of disaster. I heard that it was all due to luck.

What you said is that when we met her today, I felt that she really had quite the temperament. Furthermore, she was very young, and her age is not that far from ours.

Already married. The girl said, We can't compare up to her. We can only work in peace and marry a good man. I don't even dare to think about marrying a man like the CEO.

Hahaha. The girl laughed. You don't have such good fortune.

An Ran shrewdly rolled her eyes as she thought, I bet these two girls don't know me as well. That'll be easy.

Wait a moment. An Ran called out. The two girls were talking when they heard An Ran's voice. They held hands and turned around to confirm if she was talking to them.

Yes, it's you two. An Ran walked over. I would like to ask, do you know where the office of the new CEO Yun is?

The girl looked at her vigilantly from head to toe. An Ran could tell that they were on guard and dispelled their suspicions as she smiled and said, It's like this, I'm Yun Xi's friend. She told me to come to the company to find her, but my phone is out of battery right now and I can't contact her. If you know, please let me know.

Upon hearing An Ran call Zhong Yunxi by her name, they knew that she was someone very close to him. Otherwise, no one would call him 'Yun Xi'. The two girls relaxed their vigilance and said with a smile, It's upstairs in the attic. We also heard it from others and never had the chance to go. You can go take a look.

Alright, thank you. An Ran thanked him before turning around to get on the elevator.

Zhong Yunxi was still in her new office, researching how to design the placement of the perfume in the future. She looked at the empty spaces, small and delicate. When she thought about the still not working that Qin Yaru had told her back then, she had mixed emotions. Now that she was finally able to display her strengths and have such a bright future, Zhong Yunxi was slightly happy in her heart.

Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door. It must be Tang Zeyu, other people would not easily come to find him at this time. Zhong Yunxi immediately ran over to open the door. When the door opened, An Ran's face appeared right in front of him.

An Ran? Why are you here?"

An Ran walked straight into the room and said, Why can't I come? Could it be that something was hiding from me and I discovered it?

She could tell from her words that Zhong Yunxi was instantly filled with fighting spirit. She could tell that the best friend of this' Yun Xi ', An Ran, was not a woman that was easy to deal with.

Zhong Yunxi smiled and said: That's not true, I mean, I was just about to look for you, but before I could notify you, you had already come.

An Ran looked at her and said with a smile, Oh, I thought you wouldn't be able to find me. Why didn't you tell me about such a good thing? This is a huge matter!

I just arrived, so I'm not familiar with the company's business, so …

Oh, An Ran didn't wait for Zhong Yunxi to finish speaking, and said: So, you can celebrate dinner tonight without me, right? I haven't been notified, and no one told me that they invited me to go to the warm garden to celebrate for you.

Friend? Zhong Yunxi thought in her heart that she would probably not consider herself as a friend anymore. An Ran's attitude made her a little dissatisfied and she couldn't endure it any longer. After Zhong Yunxi finished listening to what she had to say, she opened his mouth.

Actually, I was looking for you at the party, she said slowly, as if she were trying to reason with him. You've been upset with me ever since we came back from the playground, and I thought you were still angry.

You're afraid I'll be angry? An Ran said, Have you never thought that I wouldn't be angry about your exclusive behavior? No, it's not anger. It's sadness.

Saying that, he put on a sad expression.

Then you know my job now. Zhong Yunxi looked at An Ran.

Yes. An Ran's attitude suddenly became serious: Therefore, I also plan to return to the company. I'm Ze Yu's secretary, and since you're now the CEO now, I can help you too.

What Zhong Yunxi heard was not that she wanted to come back, but that she was calling him by her name. Such intimacy and ear-piercing words made her feel uncomfortable, so An Ran naturally noticed the change in her expression. Of course she was saying it for Zhong Yunxi to hear.

She wanted to let this substitute know that not all lies could be flawless.

An Ran walked around the room and observed her surroundings. She had actually managed to create such a good environment in a single day.

It turned out that this room was the study room. All the company's information and documents were stored here, so there were three locks on the door. No one would easily be able to enter. After she came, Lu Qin found a place to stay and specially built an office for her. She transferred all the information to another location and took advantage of the fact that Lu Qin took her as a very important subject.

Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. An Ran did not say much as she walked back and said to Zhong Yunxi.

I'll be back at the company as soon as I can. An Ran said, I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance.

Zhong Yunxi said: Ok.

She was truly a little angry, so she did not have as much enthusiasm for An Ran as she usually did. When she felt An Ran's provocation, Zhong Yunxi responded directly.

However, she did not dare rashly face An Ran, because she already knew that An Ran began to doubt her identity. After all, she was still Tang Zeyu's husband.

An Ran left the company in a swagger, a hint of happiness in her heart.

Zhong Yunxi was a little apprehensive in her heart. She called her good friend Li Xin and told her about this.

What?! Li Xin said, Isn't she a bit too sinister!? No wonder you say that the young miss of a rich family is hard to get along with. I never thought that this person would be bad to this extent.

I think she must have some other purpose. Zhong Yunxi said.

Li Xin vigorously nodded her head, and said to her: I said you have to be careful, don't let her find out your identity.

That's for sure. Zhong Yunxi replied.

How is it? Li Xin's voice suddenly became mischievous: Does living with my male god feel good?

Zhong Yunxi laughed. She knew that Li Xin had always really liked Tang Zeyu, and that was, of course, the kind that liked people who worshiped them. After knowing that she had really gotten married with her, she was even happy for her.

It depends on how you measure it. Zhong Yunxi said as she giggled.

That must be good. Li Xin said: I'm rich and I'm rich, but I'm also handsome. If I were you, I would have died of happiness!

Zhong Yunxi who was originally in a bad mood started to call her friends. She could only completely relax when she chatted with Li Xin.

After all, she knew everything about herself, including her family. In her heart, she was also very grateful to this friend of hers. When she was alone and wanted to find someone to talk to, she would be able to advise herself at any time.

However, I know the pain in your heart. Li Xin's voice suddenly became serious: Mistress Fu's life is not that easy to live, if I think about it in the past, we would be living the same life, but now that you have married into someone else's family and become a young miss, your life must be very complicated and messy.

On the other side of the phone, Zhong Yunxi was constantly nodding her head in agreement to what she had said. She opened her mouth and said: "You know me, you're right.

Honestly, are you homesick?

Home. Hearing that word, Zhong Yunxi's heart was in turmoil. She wanted to think about which atmosphere in the family it was, but when she thought about how the Zhong Family treated him, Zhong Yunxi did not want to think about it at all.

In my opinion, your family is not as good as the Tang clan's. At least, you live a good life there. Li Xin spoke up for Zhong Yunxi: "But, look at your family, the attitude your parents have towards you, and that little sister of yours. I don't like her the moment I see her.

CHAPTER 102 - TRANSIENT QUIET

Zhong Yunxi could tell that Li Xin was holding injustice, and said: But no matter how ruthless I am, I still can't hate them a little. After all, they were the ones who raised me.

Li Xin said: That's exactly what you think. If it were me, I would have already been unable to take it anymore.

Zhong Yunxi said: No matter what, I have to repay them.

You, you're just too kind, Li Xin said. Even if it's not your own, since you want to be raised, why do you need to draw such a clear line between yourself and your own child?

Zhong Yunxi's heart secretly sank. Actually, what Li Xin said was true, and how could she not think like that, but she always felt that it was the second life given to her by the Zhong Family, so she wanted to repay them no matter what.

Right. Li Xin said: Have you gone back in the past few days?

Nope. Zhong Yunxi replied, I had an agreement with the Tang Family back then, that I could only go back at most twice a month.

Why?

After all, the Tang Clan is a large corporation. If I were to go there often, it would be hard to not be seen by others. If something were to happen, it would be detrimental to the Tang Family.

Oh. Zhong Yunxi could not see Li Xin nodding on the phone.

When Lu Qin had signed the contract with Zhong Yunxi, she did not know what Zhong Yunxi's personality was, but she was anxious to find someone who could replace him. She did not expect Zhong Yunxi to appear in the nick of time, so she did not care that much.

The contract also had many treaties to prevent future events, which stated that Zhong Yunxi must not go home more than twice a month, and must not go home to spend the night more than once a month.

I signed the contract from the beginning, so I can't go home easily. When Zhong Yunxi told Li Xin about this, Li Xin struggled a little on the phone and said, Oh my god, how is this a life? This is simply the life of a female prisoner.

Zhong Yunxi laughed and said: "So, do you still want to marry to the male god?

Who would have thought that she would suddenly say in a low voice, Then I'll marry too! Haha!

Zhong Yunxi was very happy to talk to Li Xin on the phone. That was to let her guard down and talk to him, that was what they were friends for.

The two of them did not speak for long before they hung up. Thinking about An Ran, this sudden close friend of his, Zhong Yunxi found it hard to bear.

In the next few days, Zhong Yunxi was completely immersed in her work.

They woke up early and urged Tang Zeyu to wake up as well. After finishing breakfast, the two of them went to work together. During the day, Tang Zeyu only called her to go to his office, but she rejected him.

The reason: In the company is to keep a certain distance, in order to give employees a good role model.

Tang Zeyu had never been able to understand this reason, they had originally spent quite a lot of time together. However, ever since Zhong Yunxi had arrived at the company, the time they had to meet had decreased.

Lu Qin saw all of this and felt gratified in her heart. She was even more sure that this girl had not found the wrong person. She had also secretly talked to Tang Zeyu about some of Zhong Yunxi's good or bad points. To remove the suspicion in Tang Zeyu's heart from the side, because this was not the time.

Although she was working very hard, Zhong Yunxi could not let go of one thing in her heart, and that was her brother Zhong Li. In order to cure his leukemia, he was forced to marry into Tang Family. She had not been to the hospital for so long and did not know how his brother's disease was.

Moreover, in these few days, Zhong Yu would call him from time to time, without saying anything too important. Liu Fang had also called him more and more frequently, if she was not mistaken, the mother and daughter pair had once again come to ask for money.

Night, warm garden.

Zhong Yunxi was eating with Tang Zeyu when the phone rang. Zhong Yunxi saw that the interface was Liu Fang's name, and that Tang Zeyu did not notice him. She said: I'll go pick up a call.

Tang Zeyu nodded and walked out.

Mom. Zhong Yunxi picked up the phone.

You even know that I'm your mother. Liu Fang's voice transmitted over, Why haven't you come to the hospital to see your brother for so long?

Zhong Yunxi thought about it and decided not to tell her that she had joined Dreamclosets. She lied, I've been rather busy these past few days, so I'm just about to go.

Only then did Liu Fang's voice soften, and she said: The money Tang Family gave you is money for Xiao Li's treatment, you know that right?

Yeah, I know. Zhong Yunxi said.

Hearing this, Liu Fang wanted money. Just as expected, Liu Fang said: Your sister still needs 5,000 yuan, when can you give it to me?

It hit the nail on the head. Without any words, he opened his mouth and said money.

Zhong Yunxi said: When are you in a rush?

Liu Fang thought for a while, then said: Let's do it tomorrow, it's a little late today.

Alright. Zhong Yunxi replied.

So, Liu Fang did not speak anymore and just as she was about to hang up, Zhong Yunxi asked anxiously: Mom, about that, how is my dad doing?

Just like that, I won't die. Liu Fang's voice did not carry any warmth, and in the past few days, she had not made a phone call, nor did she mention that she missed Zhong Yunxi.

Also, Liu Fang said, "Xiao Li has been yelling that he wanted to see you these past few days, so you should hurry up and see him.

Every word was like a knife cutting into Zhong Yunxi's heart.

Alright, I understand. With that, Zhong Yunxi hung up.

Returning back to the table, Zhong Yunxi tidied up her expression.

Who is it? Tang Zeyu asked.

Ah? Oh, no one, a friend. " Zhong Yunxi replied.

Tang Zeyu did not think too much into it, and only nodded his head.

Zhong Yunxi suddenly thought, she had not seen An Ran for many days. Didn't they say that she was going back to work? But ever since she left the company, there had been no news of her. It was probably because of Tang Zeyu. Thinking of this, Zhong Yunxi also asked him.

Tang Zeyu heard Zhong Yunxi's question and said, I didn't ask her to come.

Why? Zhong Yunxi asked.

Tang Zeyu said: She is not suitable to be in our company.

Zhong Yunxi said: But, didn't she not stay at the company during this period of time? That day, she told me that she was going back to the company.

Tang Zeyu lovingly gave Zhong Yunxi some food, and said: I'll fire her.

Zhong Yunxi's eyes widened, and she said: You're leaving? Why?"

Because I don't want her to hurt you. Tang Zeyu said.

After Zhong Yunxi heard these words, her heart instantly relaxed. Thinking of what he said to herself, she decided to stay away from An Ran. It was as if she could tell how An Ran had affected her and silently ordered her to be expelled. Zhong Yunxi was deeply moved.

What she did not know was that An Ran had already found Tang Zeyu many times and questioned her identity, but Tang Zeyu had already digested all of it into his heart.

By doing this, Zhong Yunxi's heart felt much better. She relaxed at the thought of An Ran not disturbing her life. Although she wasn't sure what she would do during this period of time, her life would still be peaceful and quiet during this period of time.

After finishing her meal, Zhong Yunxi went to take a bath.

Tang Zeyu lied on top of his clothes and he didn't really care about it. Ever since his wife entered the company, the two of them had never been in the same bed and interacted quite a bit. No matter what, he was still a man. Listening to the sound of the water flowing in the bathroom made his heart flood.

After a while, Zhong Yunxi came out. Before she even had the time to change into her pajamas, she wrapped herself in a half towel and came out. , who was watching, could not shift his gaze away from her.

Zhong Yunxi walked to the wardrobe, opened the wardrobe, and was about to take out her pajamas when she felt a pair of large hands leaning onto him from behind.

Tang Zeyu's aura was right beside his ears. Xi, it's been a long time since we last met …

Before she even finished speaking, Zhong Yunxi turned around with all her might and covered his mouth with her hands, saying, No!

Why? Tang Zeyu was unwilling to let it go.

Because I still have work to do. Zhong Yunxi said as she secretly took out his pajamas from the cupboard and was about to put it on.

You always use your work to lie to me, Tang Zeyu pretended to be wronged and said. That's what you said last night.

I really do have a job. Zhong Yunxi wanted to push her away: You don't want your wife to come to the company either, but people say that you can't rely on others, so I still need to work.

Alright, this reason succeeded in convincing Tang Zeyu. Ever since 'Yun Xi' came back, it was as if he had become a different person, and after interacting with her during this period of time, he had already understood her style.

Zhong Yunxi put on her clothes and was about to go to work, when Tang Zeyu pulled her waist once again and said: Since that won't do, then at least treat me well.

Zhong Yunxi understood what he meant and did not refuse. She leaned forward and kissed his lips. Just as she was about to leave, Tang Zeyu's hands instantly grabbed onto her waist and deeply kissed him.

He only let go after a long time. Zhong Yunxi's face was completely red, but Tang Zeyu was looking at the woman in front of him with a face completely red and filled with joy.

I'll accompany you. Tang Zeyu said.

I can do it myself. Seeing that he was about to head towards the studio, Zhong Yunxi immediately stopped him. This action caused Tang Zeyu to laugh: I promise you that I won't do anything, I'll really just work with you.

Seeing his sincere eyes, Zhong Yunxi felt at ease.

Sure enough, Zhong Yunxi who was quickly immersed in her work state, had a completely different mental state. Tang Zeyu observed the side of her face and the data she analysed. She was satisfied and gratified.

He faintly felt that the moment Zhong Yunxi threw herself into work, she seemed to be the same as the Yun Xi from before. The serious look on her face, as well as her habit when thinking, was to draw circles with her thumb and forefinger together.

Thinking back to what An Ran had told him, he could not believe that Zhong Yunxi was not the Yun Xi from before. He could not believe that the person in front of him was not the Yun Xi from before.

Look at this. Zhong Yunxi suddenly pointed out a picture on the computer.

Tang Zeyu shifted his gaze from Zhong Yunxi to the computer. What I saw was a picture of some flower species.

Do you see these flowers? Zhong Yunxi said: I just looked at it, some of the products in our company are already there, but there are no data on any of them.

Tang Zeyu had to admire Zhong Yunxi's efficiency. It seemed like Zhong Yunxi had looked through all the company's data in the past few days and memorized them all. These miniscule details were remembered in her heart.

CHAPTER 103 - DISCHARGE

So, what do you want to do? Tang Zeyu seemed to be asking, and also seemed to be testing Zhong Yunxi's ability.

I can reinvent a new kind of smell. I want some time, and some material. Zhong Yunxi said, then turned and looked at Tang Zeyu. Her resolute eyes revealed her confidence without a doubt.

Tang Zeyu also became serious: Alright, first, tell me about your plan.

Zhong Yunxi nodded her head: First, I want to use my own method and use any kind of flower as an example. As she spoke, she moved her mouse. Some of the data and pictures on the computer continued to change under Zhong Yunxi's explanation.

As far as I know, in the late nineteenth century, more and more people who made perfume used one method, and that was — distillation. Zhong Yunxi said seriously: Take out the flower's raw materials and quickly pour them into the boiling water. After twenty minutes or so, after the distilled water is finished, the fragrance will follow and then quickly cool it down.

Tang Zeyu's identity was not just for show, he even understood the perfume data more than Zhong Yunxi was, which was why the two of them were very serious during their discussion.

Zhong Yunxi had only been in the company for a short time, but there were still shortcomings. She understood it in her heart, so at this time, she was trying to tell Tang Zeyu everything she knew.

Then take it out and put it in the metal container with the hole. At this time, there will be a substance that will release this kind of solvent and continue pouring it into the distilling pot. At this moment, this substance will become a semi-solidified state. While Zhong Yunxi was speaking, she kept flipping through the pages, another type of page that she would occasionally take out something she had recorded in her book.

This state is called freezing. There were two types of ingredients. One was the essential oil, and the other was a waxy substance that could be separated by alcohol. At that moment, pure, high concentration of the essential oil was formed. This substance is also known as fragrance. After this perfume is refined, it will be the perfume.

When he finished speaking, he put down the pen and mouse that he had been playing with all this while, and leaned heavily onto the back of the chair, looking at Tang Zeyu mature in his chest.

This was the first time Tang Zeyu had seen Zhong Yunxi doing such a serious job since she had returned, and it was as if he had once again seen the Yun Xi who had returned to his side.

Did you figure all these out yourself? Tang Zeyu asked.

Of course I didn't come up with anything. These are all moral data I collected, but I've never tried them out before. So I want you to provide me with materials. I want to give it a try. Zhong Yunxi said with a carefree smile on her face.

Tang Zeyu hurriedly nodded his head: That's no problem at all. As long as it's something on your job, I'll support you.

Zhong Yunxi giggled and said: That's good.

Tang Zeyu took over the computer, and carefully looked at the data on the computer. Then, he looked at Zhong Yunxi in disbelief: You recorded all of this.

Zhong Yunxi nodded.

Tang Zeyu was too shocked. She realized that the current Yun Xi was even more capable than before, and his seriousness was also much higher than before.

Okay, Tang Zeyu said. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to prepare the materials for you. I'll give you some time.

En! Zhong Yunxi laughed very happily.

Tang Zeyu looked at the time. Unknowingly, the two of them had already discussed for a long time, and it was almost 12 o'clock. Worried about his wife's health, he could not bear to stay up late like this every night.

Let's just leave it at this for today. We should rest early. Tang Zeyu said, It's not too late to chat tomorrow.

Hearing her words, Zhong Yunxi looked at the time, and sure enough, it was late. After replying to Tang Zeyu, the two organized the information together, then packed up some information from the computer before going to sleep early.

The next day, Tang Zeyu and Zhong Yunxi drove over to the company together. Every day at this time, it was the favorite scene for the employees, because it was too eye-catching. The CEO and Madam President standing together were simply a perfect match.

I'm going upstairs. Zhong Yunxi said.

Tang Zeyu watched Zhong Yunxi's figure reluctantly go up the stairs. Helpless to the staff members present, he pretended to be indifferent and agreed, but in reality, he was extremely reluctant. Lu Qin separating the two of them was truly an unwise choice.

Zhong Yunxi turned on the computer, inserted the USB into it and started to search for another way to make perfume. An internal call came in: It's me.

Tang Zeyu's voice.

What is it? Zhong Yunxi said.

Just what you said yesterday. I'll get someone to prepare the materials and send them to you directly, Tang Zeyu said, then looked at his watch: They will be delivered within thirty minutes.

Alright, I understand. After Zhong Yunxi finished speaking, she hung up. She came up with a new method and was in a hurry to check for confirmation. She didn't have much time before she died.

As Tang Zeyu listened to the busy signal, he snorted through his nose and glared at the phone, not knowing what to do with her.

Suddenly, he thought of what An Ran had told him. He was looking at this work, the wife who was swift and decisive. Tang Zeyu muttered to himself: This is my Yun Xi.

Yes, the serious look on her face, the precision recognition towards perfume, as well as her talent in languages, all made him even more certain that this was his, Zhong Yunxi.

Zhong Yunxi's phone had rung three times, but she didn't hear it.

Zhong Yu anxiously stomped her feet on the other side of the phone. In this period of time, Zhong Yu had learned a lot about elegance during training, so she tried her best to control her actions and words.

In the hospital's entrance, Liu Fang was busy preparing to be discharged from the hospital. The doctor just informed him that Zhong Li had recovered, and the next thing to do was to return home and recuperate.

was overjoyed at this turn of events. He immediately called Zhong Dahai and told him to find a car to pick the clock up and bring it home. All the procedures had been completed, but it was suggested that Big Sis should accompany him to the hospital.

At such a young age, anything was in his heart. He seemed to have sensed that Zhong Yunxi had given some effort for her, but he did not know the specifics, so he insisted for Zhong Yunxi to bring her out of the hospital.

Seeing her brother being so stubborn, Zhong Yu was a little angry.

Say, what are you waiting for her for? Are you sick or are you waiting for her to get sick? Zhong Yu tried her best to control her voice.

But, it's been a long time since I've seen you hit a big sis.

Xiao Li, I'm telling you. Zhong Yu tugged his shoulder and said: Your Big Sis, Zhong Yunxi, has already married out. Do you understand? What's more … Forget it, I won't talk about this with you.

Zhong Li turned his head, and did not speak.

Liu Fang advised him, but Zhong Li still did not listen. With no other choice, Zhong Yu called Zhong Yunxi. Zhong Yunxi's attention was always on the computer, so she did not hear the phone call.

Zhong Yu took out the phone from beside her ear, and said to Zhong Li: Did you see that, now you don't even want to answer my phone.

Could it be that there is no more electricity. Zhong Li looked up and asked: If there's no more electricity, then it's not that voice of mine.

Zhong Li refused to listen: I'll fight. He reached out his hand to ask for Zhong Yu's phone number.

It's the same for you. Zhong Li said.

I'll try.

Fine, fine, fine. Try it. Zhong Yu handed the phone over to him unwillingly.

After Zhong Yunxi finished with her first piece of information, shsheleaned back in her chair, wanting to relax. Only then did she hear his phone ring, and seeing that it was Zhong Yu, he wondered what was the matter, she had not found the time to call her. She had come to find him on her own accord.

Xiao Yu. Zhong Yunxi picked up the phone.

Big sister! Just as Zhong Li called the number, the call connected. Zhong Yu stared at the caller in shock, then rolled his eyes.

Xiao Li. When Zhong Yunxi heard Zhong Li's voice, she jumped up from the sofa, You … Why are you …" Hearing Zhong Li's voice, Zhong Yunxi was so excited she didn't know what to say.

Elder sister, I will be discharged today! Could you come and pick me up?

Zhong Yunxi was extremely happy when she heard Zhong Li personally tell him that she was going to be discharged. Who would have thought that her little brother's illness would recover so quickly!

Of course you can, just wait for me here. Zhong Yunxi said.

As she hung up the phone, Zhong Yunxi had a sudden thought and thought of a trick. She told Tang Zeyu that something had happened in her friend Li Xin's house, and she had to rush over immediately to help. Although Tang Zeyu was a little confused, why was his wife in such a rush, but looking at her appearance, she had already left without saying anything.

Hearing that Big Sis would be here soon, I'm so happy for Zhong Li.

I said can Big Sis pick up my phone! She must not have heard.

Zhong Yu curled her lips and did not say a word. Liu Fang said: Okay, then you wait a little longer. I will tell dad to wait for us at home, don't come to the hospital.

Zhong Li nodded happily.

Liu Fang pulled Zhong Yu to the side, otherwise, Zhong Li would have heard the conversation between the two.

Yunxi will definitely ask you about this 10,000 yuan when she comes. Liu Fang said.

No problem, I know what to say. Zhong Yu replied casually.

The mother and daughter pair did not notice the look of disgrace in their eyes when they spoke, as if they had done something shameful.

What are you going to say? Liu Fang asked.

That depends on how she asks. Zhong Yu said: Moreover, mother, you said that she is my sister, so it is not right for you to give me some money. Moreover, what is the status of Tang Family now, so this amount of money is not a piece of cake for her right now, right?

That's true. Liu Fang looked at Zhong Li who was in the ward and confirmed that he was fine. Then, he turned around and continued to speak with Zhong Yu, "Right, you're right.

Zhong Yu nodded her head, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

After Zhong Yunxi left the company, she drove to the hospital at the fastest speed possible. Ye Zichen was beyond happy. She really didn't think that her little brother's illness could be cured so quickly. The more Zhong Yunxi thought about it, the happier she became, this meant that the effort she put in, was not in vain. As expected, as long as she had enough money, the hospital could say one less thing to their families: Sorry, we have already done our best.

Thinking about how she was going to meet Liu Fang and Zhong Yu, Zhong Yunxi's mood plummeted once again. How was she going to face the mother and daughter duo?

Using the fastest speed he could muster to get to the hospital, he confirmed that no one was following him, then Zhong Yunxi quickly went upstairs. After all, her current identity was not her alone, but Tang Group's.

When he walked to the corridor, he saw Liu Fang and her daughter discussing with each other.

Zhong Yunxi walked over and gently said, Mom.

Hearing that, Liu Fang and Zhong Yu turned around and saw a woman dressed in a noble's attire appearing in front of them. The two of them were startled.

CHAPTER 104 - THE CHANGE OF OSMOSIS

The moment Zhong Yu saw Zhong Yunxi, her eyes widened. Was the person in front of him really her sister? She didn't expect that after not seeing her for so long, she had changed so much.

Mom. Zhong Yunxi called out again. Xiao Yu, you're all here.

Zhong Yu's heart suddenly ignited with jealousy. Seeing her calling out to him, Zhong Yu unhappily replied, You're here.

Zhong Yunxi smiled and nodded.

Xiao Li is better now? Zhong Yunxi said.

Liu Fang was obviously still in shock, her eyes swept across Zhong Yunxi from top to bottom. In that moment, she felt that the girl in front of her was not someone she raised up to be. It was a girl who had truly and truly experienced the scouring of money as she grew up.

Zhong Yu pushed Liu Fang with her shoulder, allowing her to wake up.

You only know how to come here now. Liu Fang's barbaric look returned, and she said: You've lived the life of a rich lady, and it's been so long already, you still haven't come to the hospital to visit your little brother.

Zhong Yunxi said: No, because I've been really a bit busy during this period of time.

This was the truth. Ever since she arrived at the company, she didn't even have the time to spare. Ever since he arrived at the company in the morning, he had been focusing on making new perfumes. Even after work every night, he would stay at home to research them.

But the common people of the Zhong Family would never understand, especially Liu Fang, who didn't listen to Zhong Yunxi's explanation and ridiculed him: Busy? It seems that you have forgotten to repay your gratitude. Fortunately, Xiao Li mentioned you often and said that he wanted to see you.

Zhong Yu also looked at Zhong Yunxi with disdain from the side, and Liu Fang continued: It's a shame that this child has put in such painstaking effort. She's really useless on the right person.

I really do have something on my mind. Zhong Yunxi apparently understood the meaning behind Liu Fang's words and explained again and again.

Liu Fang said: What is more important than your brother's illness? Hm? I say, you still have to thank your brother. If not for him, would you have had the chance to enter the famous Tang Clan?

With these words, Zhong Yunxi's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. Her mother's words truly broke her heart. Did she want to make his brother ill? If it were not for Lu Qin paying and contracting all the medical expenses, Zhong Li would have already … He didn't dare imagine such an outcome.

From another point of view, although she had replaced Yun Xi's identity, allowing Tang Zeyu to find him and stand up again, all of this was a lie and not real. And it was true that Lu Qin had paid a lot of money for Zhong Li and saved her life. Could it be that she still owed Lu Qin a favor that she couldn't repay?

Liu Fang's conscience did not realize this point. She had used the happiness of the child she raised for the rest of her life in exchange for the right to live for the rest of her life. In this trade, only Zhong Yunxi was the person who deserved to be doted on the most.

However, the truth was that no one in the Zhong Family knew this, other than Zhong Li, who was still unfamiliar with the affairs of the world. Sometimes, if Zhong Yunxi could grow up quickly, it would be great, at least she would not be so lonely in this world.

Forget it. Zhong Yu said, then turned and prepared to return to the ward: Don't say anymore.

Seeing that, Zhong Yunxi's heart dropped. She didn't have time to be sentimental. Following Zhong Yu to her room: Let's go, let's not talk about this anymore.

Liu Fang had no choice but to follow them.

Zhong Yunxi organized her emotions, wanting his brother to see her optimistic side, wanting him to happily go home. When she entered the room, she saw his brother reading some pictures, which was something he liked — — Painting.

Look who's here. Zhong Yu's voice was not in a good mood.

Zhong Li raised his head, and saw the big sister following behind the second sister, he happily threw the picture book in his hands to the side, and anxiously hugged Zhong Yunxi.

The moment he saw Zhong Li's state, Zhong Yunxi's sky instantly cleared up. After not seeing him for a few days, Zhong Li's state had improved a lot.

The intimacy between the two siblings caught Zhong Yu's attention. There was some atmosphere, and she said angrily in her heart: Stinking brat, I wonder who your blood sister is.

I'll go and take care of the paperwork. Zhong Yunxi said.

Go. Liu Fang said.

Big Sis, I want to go with you. Zhong Li jumped off the bed, wanting to follow Zhong Yunxi.

At this time, Zhong Yu opened her mouth and said: Where are you going? You can't just leave this place for a moment? These days, your Big Sis didn't come to see you, and didn't see what's wrong with you.

It was unknown if these words were said for Zhong Li or for Zhong Yunxi to hear. However, seeing that Zhong Li's stage was extremely good and his mental appearance was also very good, she did not pay attention to these things.

He knocked on the door.

Enter. The man's voice sounded.

white doctor. Zhong Yunxi walked into the sickroom.

When Bai Sheng saw that the person who came was Zhong Yunxi, who was taking notes, he quickly placed the brush aside. He said, Sit.

Zhong Yunxi nodded and sat by the side.

My brother is discharged today. I will go through the procedures. As he said that, he handed the list over to Bai Sheng.

Oh, yes. Bai Sheng said the list Zhong Yunxi gave him in the end: Zhong Li is discharged from the hospital today, so I'll tell you about his current illness along the way.

After Zhong Yunxi heard this, he became a little nervous.

Bai Sheng could obviously see her expression, so he comforted his, Don't be nervous, Yun Xi, Zhong Li's current situation can be said to be exceptionally good. There are basically no problems. Now, it's important to control and keep an eye on his diet while you're at home.

Zhong Yunxi nodded, following that, white doctor told Zhong Yunxi about Zhong Li's condition. After receiving all the good news, Zhong Yunxi's hanging heart relaxed.

After thanking him, Zhong Yunxi got up and prepared to leave.

Wait a moment. Bai Sheng called out, then said with a voice lower than when he had just spoken: Erm, may I presume to ask, when I have time, if I can invite you out to see a movie?

With that, he looked at Zhong Yunxi without blinking, as though he was waiting for her reply.

Zhong Yunxi was startled for a moment, and then said euphemistically: I don't have much time recently.

Without waiting for Zhong Yunxi to continue speaking, Bai Sheng said: Alright then, it's alright, I wanted to ask you out in the first place. Since you don't have the time, then I won't force you.

Then, he nodded politely towards Zhong Yunxi. Zhong Yunxi did the same thing as him, said her thanks, and left.

After tidying up all the items that Zhong Li needed for the hospital, the few of them were about to return to the Zhong Family. As she was walking along the corridor, Zhong Yu noticed that many people were looking in his direction. Only then did she realize that these people were looking at Zhong Yunxi.

She purposely slowed down her footsteps, and walked behind Zhong Yunxi, boldly observing the current her. From top to bottom, they were all famous brands, but from within, they exuded a simple and unadorned aura. It was no wonder that so many people turned to look at her. She did her best. Before elder sister married into the Tang Family, she didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but from the looks of it, she really did have a temperament. She didn't want to admit it in time.

It was as if the environment had been lived for a long time and money could change people. It didn't take long for Big Sis to reach Tang Family as well, but she could see the changes happening right now. Zhong Yu did not say anything, she was thinking that if she could ever find a day like this, would Tang Zehao also be able to look at him, and maybe she would even have a chance to become the rich wife of the Tang Family.

Zhong Yunxi's current mood was completely different from Zhong Yu's. She wanted to quicken her steps, hurry up and get on the car, and then safely send her brother home.

Liu Fang however, had become arrogant. Especially when she saw that Zhong Yunxi was driving a luxury car, and felt the envious gazes of the surrounding people. Her spine no longer hurt anymore as she stood up and swaggered into the carriage.

Zhong Li insisted on being the co-pilot, so Zhong Yu and Liu Fang sat in the back.

Where's Dad? While they drove, Zhong Yunxi chatted with the mother and daughter behind him.

Originally, he wanted to come and fetch Xiao Li. Liu Fang said: I knew you were coming, I called him to tell him not to come, he should be home by now.

Liu Fang's attitude towards Zhong Yunxi softened completely because she was in the hospital just now. Zhong Yunxi's outfit completely satisfied her vanity.

Oh, what is she doing now? Zhong Yunxi asked.

Zhong Yu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: Gamble. He says money is fast. At this moment, her head was looking out of the window, and no one could see her expression.

What? Zhong Yunxi was shocked, he did not remember that Dad had this habit. She suddenly remembered what Xu Hao had told her about how his friend had gambled, only to be discovered during the gambling process. He had ruined everything and finally died in grief.

What … Why would you want to do this? Zhong Yunxi became nervous.

Who knows. Zhong Yu's voice was still cold, Since the time Xiao Li was hospitalized, it has gradually begun.

Liu Fang looked at Zhong Yu in disbelief, and only saw the back of her head, but she didn't see her expression. She muttered in her heart.

Zhong Yunxi did not say anything more. She was afraid that she had said something wrong and despised her.

After half an hour, the car arrived at Zhong Family. As soon as he got off the car, he could smell the old smell of the old walls. Zhong Yunxi was extremely moved in her heart, it had been some time since she had returned here.

Home. Zhong Yunxi walked to the front passenger seat and carefully helped her brother out. Zhong Li also hadn't returned home for a very long time, and her eyes were actually a little bit red.

A ten-year old child, yet he understood the concept of life and death. When death brushed past him, he seemed to understand the value of a person's life better than his peers.

Let's go. Liu Fang took some supplies that were used in the hospital and hurriedly said to Zhong Li. We're back home, so we started to recuperate, okay?

Although Zhong Yunxi looked at her back, it was a little sad, but Zhong Li's body was getting fatter and fatter. In her heart, a voice silently said: For this little brother, everything is worth it.

Let's go, why are you still standing here? Zhong Yu's voice came from behind.

Alright. Zhong Yunxi replied.

Returning home, Zhong Yunxi looked around, but everything was still the same. The past came crashing down on him. This kind of life was clearly her not long ago. Yet right now, he was living in the Tang Family, which was a land of misery and riches. Everything was like a dream.

My son is back. Liu Fang gasped for breath, and shouted towards the room.

No one answered.

Dad! Zhong Yu's voice shouted loudly.

Daddy! I'm back! Then came Zhong Li's voice.

Xiao Yu, go in and see if your father is here. Liu Fang's voice was a little out of breath.

CHAPTER 105 - THIS SUDDEN DISBELIEF …

Zhong Yu walked into her parents' room, but she did not see Zhong Dahai. She asked Liu Fang: Could it be that you've borrowed a car from a friend and haven't come back yet?

No way. Liu Fang muttered to herself.

I'll give him a call. Liu Fang said. After she called her, she found that she was on the phone.

Zhong Yu's face slowly cooled down. She could guess that his father Zhong Dahai was either drinking wine or had gone to gamble. Even though he knew that his brother had left the hospital today, he still wasn't home.

Liu Fang was also aware of it. However, since Zhong Yunxi was here, in order to not let her know how the life of the Zhong Family was, Liu Fang changed the topic.

Let's finish our meal before leaving. Zhong Li said: I want to spend more time with big sister.

Zhong Yunxi thought for a moment, then nodded her head and agreed.

When Feng Qing came to Guo Binbin's studio, he was instructing the people around on the design of the wedding dress.

If there was no time, he would just cover his mouth and laugh along with his subordinates. Feng Qing looked at his cousin. No, he was more like a friend. In Feng Qing's heart, their relationship was like a friend.

Feng Qing held the phone in his hand, feeling a little apprehensive, not knowing how to talk to him.

It just so happened that, at this time, a woman caught sight of him and gave him a look. He turned around and saw herself. Feng Qing placed one hand under the other hand's armpit and stretched out the other hand to beckon him.

Guo Binbin said a few words to his subordinates, then Feng Qing nodded when he saw the girls. Then, Guo Binbin walked towards him.

Why are you here? There was a hint of pleasure in his voice. It must be because he was in love.

Why can't I come? Feng Qing replied: Of course I'm looking for you for something.

Come, let's talk over there.

Guo Binbin brought Feng Qing to the other side where there were less people. That was the window that had fallen to the ground, and when they looked down, they could see the stadium beside the company. The members inside were doing relay competitions, and the sounds of whistling and cheering could be heard from the top left of the window.

It was just like his mood.

Speak. Guo Binbin looked as if he wanted to say something, but was hesitant. He didn't know why, You didn't come to me to let me accompany you in watching the scenery, did you?

Of course not. Feng Qing said: I'm just afraid that you might not be able to take it.

Feng Qing had always liked to joke around, and the expression on her face when she was joking was cold, causing people who didn't know her well to think that she was serious.

Speak, let me see what's so good about it.

Feng Qing really couldn't bear to see that happen. Thus, she took out her own phone, flipped to a page, and extended her hand out in front of Guo Binbin. Ye Zichen could clearly see his expression slowly turn dark, while the corner of his mouth, which was originally smiling, slowly fell off.

His voice was somewhat shaky as he replied, When did it happen?

Two hours ago. Feng Qing said calmly.

You took it? Guo Binbin said.

Feng Qing nodded her head, then retracted her hand to confirm that she did not recognize the wrong person. In the photo: A man holding three to four commodity bags in his left hand, with his right hand holding onto a woman who was half a head shorter than him, background was the shopping mall. Looking from the face, it was precisely the man who kissed Guo Binbin that day at the cafeteria.

Seeing the change in his face a little awkward, Feng Qing opened her mouth and said: It's not that I want you to separate, I mean no harm. So, I'm doing this for your own good."

Guo Binbin nodded: I know your intentions.

Seeing him act this way, Feng Qing's loyalty rose instantly: Should we teach him a lesson? What kind of man is he? Was he fond of women, or did he eat both men and women? This was too brazen. It's obvious that they didn't take you seriously.

Guo Binbin reached out his hand, wiped his hair and said: He didn't see you, right?

Nope. Feng Qing said: Besides, even if he sees me, he might not recognize me. My outfit that day was different from today. Forget about him, even acquaintances might not be able to see through it.

That's good. Guo Binbin said, then revealed an indifferent expression: Don't worry, I can handle this matter well.

Feng Qing looked at him uncertainly and said, Can you really do it?

Of course. Guo Binbin laughed: Isn't this all about relationships? I wanted to thank him.

Thank him? Feng Qing thought that he had been angered until he was muddled, You're an idiot, don't tell me, thank you for deceiving me, I can't stand this.

Yeah, but it's not what you said. Guo Binbin said: If it wasn't for him, you still wouldn't have known about my secret. Say, if I had been hiding this from you, I wouldn't have been able to relax like this.

Feng Qing understood what he meant.

Don't be silly. Feng Qing said.

The female colleagues came and went by the two people, and when they saw Guo Binbin and Feng Qing here, they kept their distance and continued to do their own things.

Feng Qing looked at all these girls. Some were good-looking, some were tall, some had temperament, and some were filled with girls. He looked at Guo Binbin and said: Girl, there are a lot of you. I saw that there are a lot of beauties too, why don't you think of one?

Just as she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes: Are you intentionally making things difficult for me?

I mean it. Whoever's joking with you, look, that's not bad. Feng Qing pointed to the girl who was at the door with a phone in one hand and an evening gown in the other, and said: You look pretty good, if you just looked at it more, you might have called. Didn't you say yourself just now that it was all accurate?

Guo Binbin looked in the direction that she pointed and said, She's not bad, and I'm rather pleased with myself. But... Did you see that? Guo Binbin's gaze turned in another direction.

Feng Qing did the same action as him, and looked towards the other direction following her. It was a woman with short hair who had leaned against another window, slightly plump but fair skin.

Guo Binbin looked at the woman at the door, then looked at the slightly plump woman by the window and looked at Feng Qing. Her eyebrows twitched as she stared at Feng Qing meaningfully.

Feng Qing immediately understood what was going on. No way! Wow, just what kind of people are your company?"

Guo Binbin was frightened by his cousin's expression and laughed: To think that you've been hanging around outside all day, with such little knowledge you don't even know.

Nonsense, I never would have thought that the girls beside you were all so secretive. No wonder you couldn't find a girlfriend, they really delayed you.

Don't say that. Guo Binbin said: They have their own choices, so none of us need to interfere. Moreover, that is their life, and outsiders have no right to enter it.

It was rare for Feng Qing to see Guo Binbin being so serious. It seems that he truly had many secrets that he did not know about. Regarding this secret, a single person must have hidden it very bitterly.

Looking at that slightly plump girl, he walked from the window to the girl at the door and then intimately embraced her. If an outsider saw this, they would think that it was because of a good relationship.

But at that moment in time, in Feng Qing's eyes, it was not that simple.

Alright. Guo Binbin said: I should go back now. I still have another batch of clothes to design, and they will be having a meeting this afternoon.

Alright, then I'll go back first. Feng Qing said.

The two of them left the seat, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then separated.

When Feng Qing came out of the company, she received a call from her father, Feng Lang.

What is it? Feng Qing immediately answered the phone.

Qingqing. Feng Lang's tone was a little strange: Do you have a boyfriend yet? Feng Qing understood her father too well, there must be something new going on.

Nope. Feng Qing's tone was a little sarcastic.

Not yet?! Feng Lang's voice was somewhat exaggerated: Then Tang Zeyu is already married, why are you not moving at all? There was even a hint of regret in his words.

Feng Qing laughed bitterly in frustration. Just as she finished solving the emotional problems of
