She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I was still wondering about that question, but Jiang Yin beside me had already blushed, looking panicked as if she had been caught saying bad things behind someone's back: "What? I didn't say anything... Besides, I didn't say anything wrong, and I didn't agree to be your girlfriend. You let your grandma put pressure on me and force me to come to your house for dinner. Isn't this bullying?"

As expected of Jiang Yin, even when she was caught, she still dared to argue for herself. She is very brave.

But...she has started calling Old Madam Zhou Grandma?

The relationship progressed quickly. It seemed that not only Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Pinzhi's parents had a good impression of Jiang Yin, but Jiang Yin also had a good impression of the Zhou family, which increased her favorability towards Zhou Pinzhi.

If this trend continues, she and Zhou Pinzhi should be able to confirm their relationship.

This so-called accusation is actually the interest between young lovers.

"I have no choice. I really like Ah Yin so much, so I asked grandma for help." Sure enough, Zhou Pinzhi was not angry at all when he heard this. He walked over with a smile and said, "However, I always respect Ah Yin's decision. I want Ah Yin to be with me willingly and not force herself."

When he said the last sentence, his tone was serious and sincere.

Jiang Yin's face was not only filled with shyness, but also overflowing with sweetness and happiness. No, it should be said that it was a sense of happiness, the happiness of being deeply loved.

I understood her feelings. She already liked Zhou Pinzhi at this moment, and she was really willing to do it.

"Who said I want to be with you?" But Jiang Yin quickly suppressed that sweet and happy smile, turned her face away, and pulled me around Zhou Pinzhi, "Come on, Xuxu, let's ignore him."

I didn't say a word during the whole process, just observing Jiang Yin's reaction. But when Jiang Yin and I walked away and left Zhou Pinzhi alone behind, I keenly felt a scrutinizing gaze staring at my back, like a cold venomous snake, or like a monster's sticky tongue, sticking to me, making my back cold and my whole body feeling awkward and uncomfortable.

I knew that was Zhou Pinzhi's gaze. He was hostile, wary and defensive towards me.

It seems that my actions at Zhou's house today will not be particularly smooth.

If I had known earlier, I would not have spoken up for Zhou Hanzhi. I helped him once, but it delayed my own business.

I wasn't confused at the moment, but rather annoyed. I was annoyed at why I was so impulsive at that time.

Zhou Hanzhi is not related to me, so why should I speak for him and affect my own interests for him?

But things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. I can only try to calm myself down, but I gritted my teeth and cursed Zhou Hanzhi several times in my heart.

We had lunch in the restaurant of the Zhou family's old house. The food was very rich, and there were also drinks. It seemed that Jiang Yin's taste was taken into consideration and red wine was chosen. I recognized it as Petrus Estate red wine, which cost more than ten thousand yuan a bottle.

It can be seen that the Zhou family likes and values ​​Jiang Yin very much. Jiang Yin was even arranged to sit next to Old Madam Zhou, next to Zhou Pinzhi. I sat a little further away, with Shen Hualan sitting on my left.

In fact, Shen Hualan's current status and position in the Zhou family is quite important. She should sit in a higher position, but she refused to sit up and insisted on sitting next to me.

Moreover, right after the meal started, she was busy picking food for me, and said in a very gentle manner: "Xu Xu, have this. This shrimp is delicious. It's my favorite. I just don't know if it suits your taste."

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. I can pick it up myself." I felt very uncomfortable.

The pattern of getting along between Shen Hualan and I has always been very fixed, that is, I serve Shen Hualan with my utmost diligence and flattery to make her comfortable and happy. Now the pattern has suddenly changed. She started to pick up food for me and carefully asked if it suits my taste. I am really not used to it.

At the same time, I really didn't want to deal with her, I knew it very well.

The change in pattern was not because Shen Hualan really liked me or she changed her opinion of me, but because she wanted to use me.

She tried to be as close to me as possible and used me to force Lin Xixi to retreat. I was just her tool.

So I declined her several times, acting polite and distant. She lowered her eyes in frustration, and there was some real sadness in her tone: "Xuxu has really distanced herself from me."

I didn't answer the call.

Have we ever been intimate? It seems like we have never been intimate.

Shen Hualan no longer insisted on pressing her hot face against me, and I was finally able to relax a little. But I accidentally discovered that the empty space on my right hand side was filled with cutlery.

It's strange. All the members of the Zhou family have taken their seats, and there is no tableware on the other empty seats. Only the seat to my right has tableware. Could it be that someone else is coming?

Just when I was confused, I suddenly heard my name being called.

"Manager Meng, I must toast you a glass of wine." Zhou Pinzhi stood far away from me, raised his glass towards me, and smiled gently and seriously, "Thank you very much for mediating between A-Yin and me. If it weren't for you, A-Yin and I wouldn't be where we are today. You are the matchmaker between us, so I must toast you with this glass of wine."

I stood up from my chair in panic: "Manager Zhou is too polite. I can't be a matchmaker. But Ah Yin is my friend, and I am just doing my best as a friend..."

Before I could finish my words, I saw Zhou Pinzhi holding the wine glass in front of me, tilting his head back, and actually drinking the whole glass of red wine.

He was still holding the empty wine glass and smiling at me from a distance.

I was really panicked at this moment. I was just eating, but Zhou Pinzhi suddenly wanted to toast me. He actually drank the whole glass of red wine and smiled at me.

The meaning is obvious, so I have to finish my glass to be polite.

It seems that Zhou Pinzhi really holds a grudge against me and is deliberately targeting me.

I have a bad stomach and can't drink too much alcohol. Normally I could still hold on, but I just drank too much at the bar last night and I had to rely on painkillers to suppress the discomfort today. Asking me to finish this full glass of red wine now is really... putting it in a difficult position.

But if I don't drink this glass of wine, I would be giving Zhou Pinzhi no face.

Never mind, just drink it, it will just make you feel a little uncomfortable.

I nodded and picked up the glass.

As soon as my lips touched the rim of the wine glass, my hand holding the glass was covered by a pair of large palms, and then the full glass of red wine was taken away.

I was startled by this sudden change and turned around, only to see a pale and familiar face.

Zhou Hanzhi?

"Manager Meng has a bad stomach, so she shouldn't drink such a large glass of wine all at once. I'll drink this for her."
