Chapter 186 I already have an appointment
In the bedroom, Yunzhi looked at her swollen lips in the mirror and gritted her teeth.
She raised her hand to touch her cracked lip and gasped.
Is Cheng Shuyan born in the Year of the Dog? And why does hers look so serious, while Cheng Shuyan's is just a little red?
How can she go out and see anyone today looking like this?
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Yunzhi's heart skipped a beat. "Who is it?"
The person outside the door was silent for a moment, then said, "It's me."
The familiar voice left Yunzhi speechless. Did Cheng Shuyan really come all this way just to ask?
"What do you want?" Yunzhi glanced at her miserable state in the mirror and was reluctant to open the door for Cheng Shuyan.
"I have something to tell you, Zhizhi. I'll go back to work after I finish speaking." Cheng Shuyan didn't seem surprised that Yunzhi had locked him out. He wasn't even surprised that Yunzhi had kicked him out last night for his offense.
Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, then opened the bedroom door. She stood at the doorway, looking at Cheng Shuyan, waiting for him to say something, showing no intention of letting him in.
"Zhizhi, I have an invitation to a birthday banquet and I need a female companion. I wonder if you could come with me?"
Cheng Shuyan knew that Yunzhi was avoiding him.
He dared not show it too obviously, and could only enter Yunzhi's world step by step, like a frog being slowly boiled in water.
Yunzhi leaned against the doorway with her arms crossed, raising an eyebrow. "Shuyan, you think you're short of female companions? Just say the word, and any type of woman can be standing right in front of you, ready to be chosen at will."
"Unfortunately, none of those are what I want. Zhizhi, would you be my companion?" Cheng Shuyan gently shook his head, his affectionate peach blossom eyes staring straight at Yunzhi, as if she were the only one in his world.
Yunzhi's smile froze, and she straightened up. "Are you talking about Old Master Ji's 80th birthday?"
"You know? You received an invitation?" Cheng Shuyan asked, somewhat surprised.
Since returning to China, Yunzhi has kept a very low profile. She thought that Grandpa Ji would forget to send her an invitation to his 80th birthday celebration.
Yunzhi didn't tell Cheng Shuyan directly whether she had received an invitation or not. She just said with a regretful look, "I'm sorry, Shuyan, it's not that I don't want to accept your invitation, it's just that I've already promised someone else."
"You've already promised someone? Who?" Cheng Shuyan's expression changed, becoming serious and inquisitive, as if he wanted to see if this was just a random excuse Yunzhi made up to reject him.
"Night banquet, night manager."
Yunzhi agreed to Ye Chengyan's request so that Cheng Shuyan would back down. At this moment, she naturally betrayed Ye Chengyan without a second thought.
When Cheng Shuyan heard the name Ye Chengyan, his face darkened instantly, as if he had thought of something. He moved his thin lips and opened his mouth as if to say something, but Yunzhi seemed to have stepped on his words.
"Originally, I wasn't going to agree, but Mr. Ye's idea was that 80 percent of the people in the industry would be attending Mr. Ji's birthday banquet. My attendance would allow me to get to know people in the industry, and it would also benefit our Yun Group's development strategy of shifting its focus back to China."
Yunzhi sighed softly, almost telling Cheng Shuyan directly that she wouldn't go back on her word.
"Since Mr. Ye is so considerate of our Yun Group, I naturally won't break the contract."
Cheng Shuyan could see that Yunzhi was serious.
The veins on his forehead throbbed, as if he was unwilling to be overpowered by Ye Chengyan.
He and Ye Chengyan seemed to be born at odds; the mere thought of that man would give him a physical aversion.
“Zhizhi, since this is your choice, I respect it. However, you can be a partner with Mr. Ye, but you must never fall in love with him. His wife is rumored to have died because of him. Moreover, Yu Baisu has been by his side for so many years without any official status. The two of them have done everything and are just short of getting a marriage certificate.”
Cheng Shuyan spoke ill of Ye Chengyan in a serious tone.
"Zhizhi, you must keep your eyes open. A man's greatest asset is his innocence."
Yunzhi's lips twitched slightly. She really hadn't expected that Cheng Shuyan, who had always been a gentleman, would speak ill of others behind their backs.
"Shuyan, really." Yunzhi smiled helplessly. "You must have misunderstood something. I only agreed to attend Old Master Ji's birthday banquet as Nightclub's date, not to accept his marriage proposal. Your worries are a bit unnecessary."
Cheng Shuyan pursed her lips and remained silent.
During their last meeting, Ye Chengyan's undisguised ambition and determination to possess Yunzhi had been a constant source of concern for him. He knew Ye Chengyan was serious and was also afraid that Yunzhi would fall for him.
Whenever Ye Chengyan and Yunzhi get closer, he feels an involuntary panic, as if he has already lost once in matters of love with Yunzhi, and lost miserably.
"But what about the story of how the Nightclub's wife died because of him?" Yunzhi knew that this was a plot added by the system, and she was curious about what kind of script the system had arranged for her.
Unfortunately, Cheng Shuyan was unaware of this.
He had only heard the rumor and had not sent anyone to investigate it.
"I'm not too sure about that. If you're curious, Zhizhi, I can have someone investigate."
As soon as Cheng Shuyan finished speaking, Yunzhi shook her head.
"No need, it has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested in other people's family affairs. Shuyan, don't worry, my family will never allow me to become a mother right after I get married."
If she wanted to know, she could have someone investigate herself; why bother Cheng Shuyan?
Cheng Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He then took his leave.
Endless entanglement will only annoy Yunzhi; a proper retreat would be better for both of them.
Besides, this wasn't his last time here, so why bother leaving a bad impression on Yunzhi? If he did it once, he would do it again. He needed to think carefully about what excuse to use next time. He wondered if the self-inflicted injury trick would still work.
Fortunately, Yunzhi couldn't read minds. If she knew what Cheng Shuyan was thinking, she would probably be so angry that she would laugh instead.
She stood at the window, watching Cheng Shuyan leave.
After his car disappeared from her sight, Yunzhi felt a little empty and couldn't muster any interest in doing anything.
the other side.
Ye Group.
Ye Chengyan glanced coldly at his assistant, "Why has the Industry and Commerce Bureau been relentlessly pursuing our food factory lately?"
Ye's Group operates several food factories and soybean oil processing plants.
There had been no problem before, but recently the Industry and Commerce Bureau has been conducting frequent surprise inspections, even checking goods already on the shelves of various supermarkets, causing widespread anxiety and affecting other products of the same brand.
Although the Bureau of Industry and Commerce found nothing, it didn't stop people from speculating and spreading rumors. There are even rumors circulating that Ye's Group's soybean oil is genetically modified and that eating it can cause infertility.
