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

I was worried and anxious, and couldn't help but kick Zhou Han lightly.

Zhou Hanzhi reacted quickly. As soon as I kicked him, he turned around and looked at me intently, his eyebrows slightly raised: "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? He still asked me what's wrong?

He is such a smart man, how could he not know why I kicked him? He was already sick, and if he continued to drink like this, his body would definitely not be able to bear it.

But he looked at me with questioning eyes, as if he really didn't know why I kicked him. I frowned and whispered to him, "Drink less."

My voice was very soft, ensuring that Zhou Hanzhi could hear it but no one else would notice it.

As expected, Zhou Hanzhi heard it. His eyes smiled, slightly curved with a little light. He didn't say anything, but what he wanted to say flowed out of his eyes.

"I told you, Xuxu would never let go of Hanzhi. Look, she's already feeling sorry for him." Shen Hualan's low, teasing voice suddenly came from my left.

What she said was what Zhou Hanzhi wanted to say.

I reacted all at once, my face instantly became hot, and an indescribable feeling of shame surged up. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look Zhou Hanzhi in the eye, and immediately turned my face away from him.

But when I turned my head away, I met Shen Hualan's eyes full of joy and teasing, which made me feel even more embarrassed and flustered.

Finally, I was forced to sit up straight, look straight ahead, look at my nose and my heart, but my heart was full of regret.

Meng Nanxu, you are confused!

Last night Zhou Hanzhi had already made his attitude towards you clear. Just now he made it clear that he and you are only in a working relationship as an investor and a project manager. His so-called care is only for your cash cow.

You are the ox or horse that makes money for him, and the donkey that pulls the mill frantically in the production team.

The fact that he noticed that your stomach was not feeling well was only because you had fainted in front of him and were hospitalized once before. He was not really worried about your stomachache, he was worried that if you were injured, you would not be able to help him better.

That's it.

How can you confuse this with love? Why do you care about his health?

He treats you like a beast of burden to be exploited endlessly, so why do you still care about the health of this evil capitalist?

I was so confused. I really regretted what I did just now.

But there is no regret medicine or time machine in the world. There is nothing I can do now. I can only grit my teeth and spend days like years at the dining table.

The meal seemed to take a century, but fortunately it was finally over. I breathed a sigh of relief and left my seat immediately, thinking about how to avoid Zhou Hanzhi and Shen Hualan, and stay as far away from them as possible.

Fortunately, Jiang Yin seemed to see through my embarrassment and uneasiness. She immediately smiled and said that she had eaten too much for lunch and wanted to walk around to digest the food. Then she took my arm.

With Jiang Yin sitting next to me, I finally felt less embarrassed and immediately followed her outside.

Now, he finally avoided the gazes of Zhou Hanzhi and Shen Hualan.

Jiang Yin and I were originally heading to the backyard, but just as we took a few steps, Zhou Pinzhi caught up with us from behind: "Ayin, where are you going? The sun is a bit strong in the backyard right now, and it will make you tan. Why don't I take you upstairs to play? And by the way, I'll show you around our house."

This is a really great suggestion.

After all, the purpose of my coming here today is to enter the Zhou family's old house, and it would be best if I had the opportunity to enter the study on the second floor.

Zhou Pinzhi was just handing me a pillow when I was sleepy, but I couldn't show any abnormal expression. I suppressed the excitement in my heart, looked at Jiang Yin beside me, and waited for her answer.

"You want to show me around your home? Of course, but..." Jiang Yin expressed her attitude immediately, but then paused and looked at me, "Xu Xu, do you want to go to the backyard or go upstairs?"

This is in line with Jiang Yin's style of doing things. She is very good at taking other people's feelings into consideration.

I smiled and said, "I can do anything, but if you want to go upstairs and take a look, I'll accompany you."

"Okay, let's take a tour." Jiang Yin showed a happy smile on her face, and then poked Zhou Pinzhi, "You lead the way."

"Okay." Zhou Pinzhi also smiled.

But, I don’t know if I’m too suspicious, but I always feel that his smile is a little strange. It doesn’t have that kind of happiness of getting a reply from the one you love, but rather it seems that he is calm and composed, as if everything is under his control.

With a bit of cunning and excitement.

This feeling was so strange that it made me instinctively wary.

For a moment, I smelled danger and wanted to stop moving forward.

But the desire in my heart was too great. I knew very well how difficult it was for me to get the opportunity to enter the Zhou family's old house and go deep into the interior like today. And by chance, I could be led by Zhou Pinzhi and accompany Jiang Yin to visit the interior of the Zhou family openly. This was such a rare opportunity.

How can I give up?

Maybe I can enter the Zhou family study today, maybe I can get what I want today, maybe my plan can be completed ahead of schedule, and I can finally avenge my grandma!

The hope in my heart grew stronger and stronger, impacting my heart and making it beat wildly. At the same time, a fierce struggle was going on in my heart.

To go or not to go?

This inner struggle didn't last long and I made my choice quickly.

Maybe I saw it wrong just now, or maybe I was overthinking it. The reason why Zhou Pinzhi smiled like that was just because he had more opportunities to spend time with his sweetheart?

Moreover, during my interactions with Zhou Pinzhi, I never revealed any intentions. Even going upstairs to visit at this moment was Jiang Yin's wish, and I just obeyed her wishes.

I didn't reveal myself, so he shouldn't know my thoughts and intentions, and he wouldn't have revealed such a smile of success.

I tried to calm myself down, and followed Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin to look at the structure and rooms on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor.

There is a sunroom, a tea bar and a study on the second floor.

We stayed in the sunroom for a while, played with the exquisite and compact tea sets in the Jingcha Bar, and saw different kinds of tea. Then Zhou Pinzhi took Jiang Yin and me to the door of the study.

I noticed that there seemed to be no security patrols at the Zhou family today because there were few people and they were all family members.

The door of Zhou's study was not locked, just like last time.

Zhou Pinzhi just turned the doorknob and opened the study door. He turned around and smiled at Jiang Yin and me and said, "Come in."

Finally, I finally entered the study room that I had been longing for for a long time.
