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

After what happened just now, I was deeply scared. At the same time, I realized how dangerous my situation was just now. I almost fell into Zhou Pinzhi's trap. I also realized that Zhou Pinzhi was indeed as dangerous as Zhou Hanzhi reminded me before, far beyond my expectations.

Maybe my visit to Zhou's house this time was not accidental at all, but someone planned it in advance.

The trap set by Zhou Pinzhi was to catch me, the fish!

At this moment, I felt like I had cleared the fog and suddenly found myself standing on the edge of a cliff. If I took one step forward, I would fall into the abyss! It was so thrilling!

But I also realized another thing. Zhou Hanzhi knew what I was going to do. He even knew what I was looking for in the Zhou family's old house.

But, how did he know?

How much did he know?

Does he know my plan, or even more... Then, what about Nannan's background?

I didn't dare to think further. My heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened. I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe. I stared at Zhou Hanzhi's deep eyes, and for a moment, I felt my heart stopped beating.

"I know everything. So, Xuxu, don't go on. The Zhou family's old house and Zhou Pinzhi are more dangerous and complicated than you think. Promise me that you will stop, okay?" The teasing and joking disappeared from Zhou Hanzhi's eyes, replaced by serious and solemn advice.

My heart sank to the bottom with a thud. The string that had been taut for a long time broke. His first sentence kept echoing in my mind: He knows everything.

So, he also knows Nannan’s background?

So I have been trying my best to hide and cover up during this period of time. In fact, I am a transparent person in his eyes. He sees me clearly, so he treats me closely, then distantly, and hot and coldly, like a cat playing with a mouse?

I was so distracted that I forgot to answer Zhou Hanzhi's question. He suddenly held me tightly in his arms and said in a heavier tone, almost commandingly: "Stop, Meng Nanxu."

"I..." I suddenly came to my senses and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from not far away: "Oh, I'm sorry, I disturbed my cousin and Manager Meng."

It was Zhou Pinzhi. He came up and said sorry, but his footsteps were approaching Zhou Hanzhi and me quickly. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes, which were somewhat similar to Zhou Hanzhi's, narrowed slightly, sharp and sinister: "I heard that my cousin and Manager Meng had a fight, so I wanted to come up and help mediate, but looking at the situation in front of me, my cousin and Manager Meng are clearly revisiting their old love."

After hearing this voice, Zhou Hanzhi and I looked at each other quickly. I pushed my palm hard on Zhou Hanzhi's chest. Zhou Hanzhi's arm that was clasped around my waist loosened and his back hit the door frame hard.

"Manager Zhou!" I took the opportunity to "break free" from his arms and quickly ran towards Zhou Pinzhi, with a bit of grievance in my voice, "Thanks for coming, otherwise I, otherwise I would..."

"What's going on?" Zhou Pinzhi reached out to pick me up, and all the teasing and sarcasm turned into surprise.

Behind him, Jiang Yin also appeared, but she pushed Zhou Pinzhi aside and caught me first. She asked in surprise, "Xu Xu, what happened? You and Zhou Hanzhi...did he bully you?"

My tears quickly accumulated in my eyes. Just when they were about to overflow, I threw myself into Jiang Yin's arms and sobbed, "Go home, I want to go home, Ah Yin."

Behind me, Zhou Hanzhi was laughing nonchalantly, "Why are you pretending, Meng Nanxu? You rushed to the Zhou family just to seduce me to marry you, didn't you? Now I've given you the chance as you wished, so why are you still feeling wronged?"

"Cousin, stop messing around! You've drunk too much." Zhou Pinzhi said in a low voice.

"Zhou Hanzhi! What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Yin sounded very angry, "Who said Xuxu came to Zhou's house just to seduce you? I had to beg her for a long time before she agreed to accompany me to the Zhou's banquet! You have changed a lot in the past two years. No, I should say that I was blinded by your appearance before and thought you were a gentleman. I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"

When I heard this, my heart, which had been in a knot in my throat, slowly fell to the ground.

Zhou Hanzhi and I performed in perfect harmony, and I carried over the scene where the maid saw me being molested by Zhou Hanzhi while drunk.

It seems that our acting was so natural and realistic that we had fooled Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin.

Zhou Pinzhi had already instructed the servants to hold up the "drunk" Zhou Hanzhi to prevent him from chasing after me and harassing me.

But I didn't relax and continued sobbing on Jiang Yin's shoulder.

Jiang Yin patted my back gently with her palm: "Don't cry, Xuxu, I will take you home right now, and you won't suffer this kind of injustice here!"

She promised to take me away, and that was my goal.

The Zhou family’s old house is very dangerous, and Zhou Pinzhi is also very dangerous. This time he designed a trap specifically for me. I feel like I am not standing on the second floor of the Zhou family’s house, but in the mouth of a tiger. The tiger’s sharp teeth will fall down at any time and chew me to pieces, so I must leave the Zhou family’s old house as soon as possible.

"Hey, Ayin, you can't leave yet. Grandma is waiting for you downstairs to have snacks together." Zhou Pinzhi was anxious and wanted to stop her.

I can understand. After all, he had finally invited his sweetheart to his home for dinner, and he must have wanted to take the opportunity to stay a little longer to promote the relationship and progress between the two of them. But now Jiang Yin has to leave because of my affairs, and he must be reluctant to let her go.

However, compared to Jiang Yin, I think what he is more reluctant to part with is me, the big fish he has already hooked.

I moved my head away from Jiang Yin's shoulder and was about to speak.

"My sisters have been bullied like this, how can I have the mood to eat snacks?" Jiang Yin's face was serious and solemn. She glared at Zhou Pinzhi and said angrily, "You men are all the same. You can't control yourselves after a few glasses of wine. You dare to do anything!"

Jiang Yin’s reaction surprised me. I originally thought that she would work together with Zhou Pinzhi to persuade me to continue staying in the Zhou family’s old house.

"I..." Zhou Pinzhi seemed to be shocked by Jiang Yin's words and could no longer speak.

Jiang Yin hurriedly pulled me out of the Zhou family's old house through the side corridor.

The moment I walked out of the Zhou family’s old house and got into my own car, my heart finally settled down.

"Xuxu, I'm really sorry. I asked you to accompany me, but I didn't expect that I would cause you so much trouble and distress. I feel really sorry and sad." Jiang Yin drank alcohol at noon, so she couldn't drive. She could only sit in the passenger seat and comfort me with an apologetic look on her face. "Your clothes are all wrinkled. Let's go to the mall later. I'll compensate you with a new one and treat you to a beauty treatment, okay?"

"No, thanks. I just want to go home and be alone." I drove, shaking my head. I looked tired, and turned to apologize to Jiang Yin. "I'm sorry, Yin, I disturbed you..."

The tiredness is not fake. I didn't get enough rest last night. What happened in Zhou's study just now was too thrilling and tense, so now that I have escaped from the jaws of death, I am left with only a feeling of exhaustion.

I really want to go home and don’t want to stay with Jiang Yin anymore.

Because, at this moment, I am also full of doubts about Jiang Yin.
