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

I am very sure that Zhou Hanzhi did this, and I understood at that moment why he did it.

It's more like he's punishing me than taking revenge on me.

To punish me for my disobedience, I repeatedly urged him to return the diamond bracelet. To punish me for causing him trouble. It was because of the phone call I made to him that Lin Xixi misunderstood the relationship between him and me, quarreled with him, and made him unhappy.

To punish me for my disrespect towards him, because I called him a scoundrel, he resorted to such means, making our chat records public and spreading rumors about me.

This bastard, doesn't he consider the consequences of his actions? It would be fine if he was just being rude to me and threatening me in private, but why did he make such a big fuss? He almost caused my family to get into trouble.

I want to strangle him now.

"But I don't think it's him. There might be something else going on." You He reminded me softly at this time, "Xuxu, at this critical moment, you must remain calm and rational. Don't fall into someone else's trap because of impulse."

"That's because you don't understand Zhou Hanzhi. I know him very well. It must be him!" After I said this, I hung up You He's phone.

Because I was in a hurry to do something else at this time.

I arranged for my aunt to rest in bed and for Nannan to stay by her bedside. Then I turned and went into the bathroom and immediately called Zhou Hanzhi.

But Zhou Hanzhi's phone was still turned off at this time.

I became even angrier, but I didn't give up and called Zeng Zhi directly.

The call was connected, and as soon as it was connected, I asked, "Zeng Zhi, let Zhou Hanzhi answer the phone."

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry first. Brother Zhou has seen the news and he is already dealing with it..." Zeng Zhi obviously understood the purpose of my call and started to explain eagerly.

But before he could finish, I interrupted him angrily: "I'm not your sister-in-law! Let that bastard answer the phone!"

Zhou Hanzhi is such a jerk.

He was the one who leaked the chat records between him and me. After he did this, he became a coward and turned off his phone, so I couldn't contact him.

He wanted to make me panic, make me anxious, and put me under more pressure.

When I found Zeng Zhi at this moment, Zeng Zhi was still covering up for him, saying that he was already handling the matter.

He is the one who dealt with the incident. Why is he pretending?

"Sister-in-law, did you mistakenly think that Brother Zhou did this? I can guarantee that it was definitely not Brother Zhou. Someone touched Brother Zhou's mobile phone, so..." Zeng Zhi was still explaining to me in a low voice.

My patience has run out.

At this moment, I heard a low voice on the other end of the line: "Is that her number? Hand it over, I'll talk to her."

My guess turned out to be correct, Zhou Hanzhi was right next to Zeng Zhi.

He was really acting with me.

He has been by Zeng Zhi's side, waiting for my call!

And he turned off his cell phone on purpose to annoy me!

My anger climbed to another level, so when Zhou Hanzhi told me in a calm tone that he didn't do it, I yelled and cursed: "Are you taking me for a three-year-old kid? Do you think I, Meng Nanxu, am still the silly girl I was two years ago? Zhou Hanzhi, what have I done to let you down? Why are you doing this to me? Are you doing this to make Lin Xixi happy? But do you think this is fair?"

"I've said before that our relationship was over a long time ago. It was you who took my diamond bracelet and refused to return it. I was anxious to get it back, so I sent you messages frequently. Why was this misinterpreted as me pestering you or seducing you?"

"I am a human being, not a toy, and certainly not a dog that can be summoned and dismissed at will without dignity. You have been a capitalist for a long time. In your eyes, people are all tools and playthings without dignity? Why do you treat me like this?"

"It's fine if you just messed with me, but why did you involve my family? What did they do wrong that you treat them like this? Zhou Hanzhi, are you still a human being?"

My emotions were surging and crashing. I could no longer restrain myself or endure them, and I let them out.

But when I mention my family, what I think of is not my aunt and uncle, but... grandma.

Grandma is such a kind and gentle person. She treats Zhou Hanzhi as her own child and even tells me to be nicer to Zhou Hanzhi. But in the end, what did Zhou Hanzhi do to grandma?

When I thought about these things, I felt so angry that I couldn't control myself.

Tears welled up in my eyes and flowed down my cheeks. I didn't want Zhou Hanzhi to hear my vulnerability, nor did I want my aunt and daughter outside the door to hear my crying. I covered my mouth tightly with my hands, and tears overflowed from between my fingers.

I hate Zhou Hanzhi. If it weren't for Zhou Hanzhi, grandma wouldn't have gotten into trouble. If it weren't for Zhou Hanzhi, I wouldn't have been hurt by Lin Xixi. And this time, Zhou Hanzhi actually took action himself to ruin my reputation.

But I hate myself even more.

If I hadn't been so devoted to Zhou Hanzhi and wanted to live with him forever, my grandmother wouldn't have been murdered. If I hadn't failed to keep a good distance between myself and Zhou Hanzhi, Lin Xixi wouldn't have attacked me out of suspicion.

This time, if I had learned from my previous lessons and not had anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi, I would not have been used by him to please his girlfriend Lin Xixi!

If someone can hurt you again and again, it means you have acquiesced to the other person's harm.

Ultimately, these things are my own fault.

"I'm sorry, Xuxu. This is indeed my fault. I was careless and someone tampered with my phone, which caused you so much trouble." Zhou Hanzhi's voice was low, "But this was definitely not done by me. I think you must know that. I would never put you in danger, let alone hurt you."

Even Guigui would never believe what he said.

How could he not have the heart to hurt me? He had the heart to abandon me two years ago, leaving me to face so much alone. He even put me in danger many times. If it weren't for the family around me, I would not have survived.

Does he still expect that his lies can deceive me again?

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Hanzhi was still talking: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to handle today's matter, and I will do my best to relieve your predicament and save you..."

"Zhou Hanzhi." I tried hard to control my surging emotions, took a deep breath, stopped my tears, and interrupted Zhou Hanzhi with a nasal voice. My tone had become calm, "Don't act in front of me. Just use your lies to fool ghosts."

"I'm calling you to tell you that you need to return my diamond bracelet immediately and compensate me for my loss of reputation, otherwise I will sue you immediately."
