Although I have never lived in a wealthy family, I have learned about the established rules and regulations among wealthy families through Shen Hualan and Wu Ling.

For example, Shen Hualan, who was originally from a small bourgeois family, became a concubine simply because of her looks. She endured this for many years, and later by chance and with the help of her son, she entered the Zhou family and became Mrs. Zhou.

For example, Wu Ling, who was born into a family of officials and was well-born and well-raised, was able to marry Zhang Jiahao and became the pampered Mrs. Zhang. Even though her family fell into disgrace later and she divorced Zhang Jiahao, it could not change the fact that she was once Mrs. Zhang, who was married in a formal ceremony.

It’s Mrs. Zhang, not Mrs. Zhang Si.

When she married Zhang Jiahao, Zhang Jiahao did not marry any other woman.

But this Mrs. Zhang Si obviously has a good family background, good looks and talents. Logically speaking, she would definitely choose a good family of equal status and become a proper wife.

Why did she give herself to Master Zhang, who already had three wives, and become his fourth wife?

Moreover, although the Zhang family is still a wealthy family, it has now declined and is at the bottom of the wealthy families in Beijing and Hong Kong. Calculating in the past, when she married Master Zhang, the Zhang family was not strong enough. Why should she cling to them?

Yan Dong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "This Fourth Madam Zhang was married before, and later married Master Zhang."

I was stunned for a moment and nodded: "So that's how it is."

I don't want to ask any more questions about Mrs. Zhang Si.

After breakfast, I went to the bathroom.

When I was concentrating on washing my hands, a figure appeared next to me. I glanced at it and didn't pay attention, but the next second, I heard a sarcastic voice.

"Manager Meng is very resourceful."

The voice was so familiar, even the accent was familiar, but this time the tone was more sarcastic than before.

It seems that Lin Xixi didn't let Zhou Hanzhi sleep well last night, which made him grouchy when he woke up. He stared at people coldly and sharply early in the morning, and mocked people in a sarcastic tone. He was really resentful.

I was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Hanzhi. I slowly applied hand sanitizer and washed my hands carefully using the seven-step hand washing method without even lifting my eyelids.

Zhou Hanzhi seemed very dissatisfied with my neglect, and his tone was even a little sarcastic.

"I previously thought that Manager Meng was a skilled hunter as he flirted between Professor Yan and Director Yuan like a butterfly. I never expected that Manager Meng would not even let go of someone like Zhang Tingyuan, and even took the initiative to flirt with his elders. With such tactics, he is indeed a smooth socialite!"

Is the term "socialite" a good word? Zhou Hanzhi's words were really harsh.

I even suspected that Lin Xixi failed to satisfy Zhou Hanzhi last night, which led to him being so resentful today and using me as a target.

It seems that he also saw the scene where Madam Zhang Si found me and had an intimate conversation with me just now.

But this guy doesn’t eat well, doesn’t spend enough time with his girlfriend Xiaojiao, and always acts as a surveillance camera. What’s going on?

And you are specifically monitoring me?

I took a deep breath, rinsed my hands, took out a tissue, and while wiping my hands I looked up at the man in front of me.

To be honest, Zhou Hanzhi's appearance was really good. The dim light above the sink shone down from above his head, reflecting his clear and tough outline. He was also very tall. I looked up at him, as if looking up at a tall and handsome god.

But this god was not kind or compassionate at all. He continued to stare at me and be sarcastic.

"Manager Meng, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? But I'm curious about one thing. How did you explain your relationship with Yuan Tianye and Zhang Tingyuan to your current boyfriend, Professor Yan? They are both your good brothers? But their elders pulled you to show their satisfaction and were reluctant to let you go. How could Professor Yan tolerate you continuing to tangle with them? Or does Professor Yan have a special hobby and is willing to accept games with more people?"

"Zhou Hanzhi, you bastard!" The man became more and more bastard as he spoke. I finally couldn't stand it anymore and smashed the tissue I had used to wipe my wet hands on that handsome yet gloomy face.

I have been suppressing some resentment in my heart for a long time. At this moment, I finally couldn't suppress it anymore and burst out: "What I do, how I deal with several men, who I am with, and whose elders I get along with, these are all my private affairs. What does it have to do with you? Instead of staring at what I do and who I talk to, you might as well spend more time with your beloved Lin Xixi, so that she will not suspect that we have a private affair, so that she won't go crazy and push me down the stairs next time!"

"You..." Zhou Hanzhi may have never seen me so sharp before. He was a little confused for a moment and took half a step back.

"Why, your girlfriend didn't serve you well last night, so you took it out on me this morning?" I refused to let him go. I took a step forward, approaching him, and my tone became sharper. "But, Zhou Hanzhi, I am not the touchstone of your relationship, nor am I your punching bag. If you are unhappy, take it out on others, and don't talk nonsense in front of me!"

I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

What happened two years ago has smoothed out my originally proud and willful character, and also smoothed out my sharp edges. I have long since learned to be tolerant and have become accustomed to it. I warn myself all the time to be tolerant and not to be impulsive at all.

Impulse is the devil. A small impulse may ruin all my plans and put me and my family into an irretrievable situation.

But today, I couldn't control my temper and acted on impulse.

My heart was beating fast as I stared at Zhou Hanzhi's slightly dazed handsome eyes. I realized belatedly that my heart was aching and my nose was a little sore.

My eyes are a little wet and a little astringent.

At this moment, I actually recalled the scene in my dream where Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi were entangled with each other.

But Meng Nanxu, why are you like this?

"Last night? Is it because of last night?" After a brief moment of confusion, Zhou Hanzhi spoke slowly.

The sharpness and coldness in his eyes, which were originally full of sharpness and sarcasm, disappeared, and were replaced by a hint of... joy.

Strange, what is he so happy about?

This touch of joy was soon swallowed up by peace, and Zhou Hanzhi became calm as he said again: "I was at the Zhou family's old house last night."

Now it was my turn to be confused.

What Zhou family old house? After he left my room last night, didn’t he go upstairs to find Lin Xixi and stay with her all night?

When I went upstairs, the lights in Lin Xixi's room were off. It was obvious that the couple had gone to bed together to spend the night together...

Wait, why is he saying this to me?

My head was in a mess, but at this moment I heard Lin Xixi's voice behind me.

"Hanzhi, Sister Nanxu, what are you doing?"
