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

Zhou Pinzhi's face, which had just regained its youth, froze after I said this.

His eyes, which were quite similar to Zhou Hanzhi's, stared at me with a bit of disbelief: "Discuss?"

I know why Zhou Pinzhi was surprised. He believed that Zhou Hanzhi and I were still having an affair. He must have thought that after what happened just now, I would be extremely angry with Zhou Hanzhi and would confront him in front of Old Madam Zhou and embarrass him.

But he didn't expect that I could say the word "discuss" so calmly and indifferently.

The other two gazes on me obviously relaxed. Zeng Zhi calmly withdrew his hand that was about to stop me, but Zhou Hanzhi's gaze was still on my face. The corners of his thin lips curled up slightly, but he quickly lowered his eyes and hid the smile under his thick eyelashes.

You bastard, what a joke! I clenched my fingers and resisted the urge.

"What rumors have affected Han Zhi?" Old Madam Zhou's attention also shifted from the report. She frowned slightly, quite worried.

It can be seen that the real head of the Zhou family really values ​​Zhou Hanzhi, and she will not allow Zhou Hanzhi's reputation to be affected in the slightest.

But the specific content of this matter was not for me to talk about, so I chose to remain silent and just glanced at Zeng Zhi.

"It's like this, ma'am. The day before yesterday, Mr. Zhou's phone fell into water and broke down. After it was sent for repair, a screenshot of the WeChat chat between Mr. Zhou and Manager Meng suddenly leaked online. Then there was a rumor that Manager Meng deliberately seduced Mr. Zhou. I was busy dealing with it as soon as I saw the news, but these public opinions seemed to be manipulated by someone and spread explosively, so Mr. Zhou originally wanted to find Manager Meng to explain the misunderstanding and then discuss how to deal with it." Zeng Zhi understood and immediately told the whole story.

But what he said surprised me. Did Zhou Hanzhi's phone really break down and get repaired? Is this why I couldn't get through to him?

I glanced at Zhou Hanzhi, but he didn't look at me at this time. He just looked at Madam Zhou with a serious face: "Don't worry, grandma, this matter will be handled soon. I have already held the maintenance personnel accountable and am investigating the mastermind behind the scenes. I will not let this news affect Rongyu."

"Such a big thing happened! Hanzhi, you are just confused. You should have told me about such things as soon as possible!" After hearing Zeng Zhi's words, Mrs. Zhou's face was filled with anger.

However, at this moment, her eyes fell on my face, with an ambiguous meaning: "Is that chat record forged?"

My heart, which had just calmed down, was thrown into panic again by the stare from Old Lady Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou asked this to know whether there was really something ambiguous between me and Zhou Hanzhi.

"It's not fake, but..." I couldn't help but explain because I was so flustered.

But when I really started to explain, I couldn't think of a suitable reason. Should I tell Mrs. Zhou directly that it was because Zhou Hanzhi took my diamond bracelet and then refused to give it to me?

Then she would definitely ask me how the diamond bracelet came into Zhou Hanzhi's hands, and when and under what circumstances did it come into his hands?

And the Patek Philippe watch that Zhou Hanzhi gave me.

That watch is very expensive, and no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that it is not a gift that would be given between ordinary people. I don't want Mrs. Zhou to misunderstand that Zhou Hanzhi and I have any special relationship in private.

"The chat record is real, but it was taken out of context." At this moment, Zhou Hanzhi's low voice sounded, "Manager Meng lost the diamond bracelet given by her boyfriend before, and I picked it up by chance. After Manager Meng found out, she sent me a message. I didn't expect that this record was tampered with and taken out of context to say that Manager Meng seduced and harassed me."

His explanation was reasonable, and his tone and expression were very natural when he spoke, as if the relationship between us had always been upright.

I couldn't tell at all that he had been so shameless in the matter of me asking for my diamond bracelet back!

Perhaps because he acted calmly and naturally, the suspicion in Madam Zhou's eyes subsided a little, but her anger was still strong: "We must find out who is behind this. I want to see who is so bold as to mess with our Zhou family!"

"Don't worry, grandma. Your grandson is already doing his best to investigate and handle the matter. Not only the maintenance personnel at the time, but also the instigators behind him, will have to bear the corresponding legal responsibilities!" Zhou Hanzhi made the assurance again.

After saying that, he took another deep look at Zhou Pinzhi who was standing beside Old Madam Zhou.

This glance was full of profound meaning, and my heart moved slightly: Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes mentioned by Zhou Hanzhi was Zhou Pinzhi?

Was it really not Zhou Hanzhi who released that chat record? Was it Zhou Pinzhi?

After all, Yuan Tianye also said at the time that someone later came out to reveal that I interfered in the relationship between Yan Dong and Feng Wenting, and the other party controlled the rhythm very well, as if it was a premeditated operation. Could it be that Zhou Pinzhi was the real manipulator of this matter?

"Someone actually dared to attack my cousin. They really don't take our Zhou family seriously. Don't worry, grandma. I will investigate this matter with my cousin and make the rumormonger pay with blood." But Zhou Pinzhi's reaction was very natural. Not only was he not panicked at all, but he was indignant and seemed very angry.

There is not a single flaw to be seen.

"If you really want to reassure grandma, please help persuade your cousin to break up with Lin Xixi as soon as possible! She, she..." Old Madam Zhou suddenly mentioned the matter of Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi again. She became even more angry. Her elegant face turned slightly red and she actually started coughing.

She coughed even more violently, her hands covering her chest, her body trembling slightly, and her breathing became rapid, and she looked very unwell.

It's like some kind of emergency is happening.

Zhou Hanzhi and Zhou Pinzhi were both panicked. One of them brought water while the other was busy taking out a small brown porcelain bottle from Madam Zhou's right pocket, pouring out a few black pills and feeding them into Madam Zhou's mouth.

Zhou Pinzhi was still busy telling Zeng Zhi: "Zeng Zhi, stop being stunned and call Dr. Ruan quickly."

Zeng Zhi agreed repeatedly and was busy making a phone call with his head down.

I was the only one still standing there, watching everything happening before my eyes in confusion.

"Manager Meng, my wife suddenly had a heart attack. President Zhou may not have time to talk to you about that matter today. Why don't you go back first? President Zhou will contact you later to find another time to talk." After Zeng Zhi finished the call, he pulled me aside, his voice urgent but low.

With Old Madam Zhou already in this state, Zhou Hanzhi certainly has no time to deal with other matters. After all, in the Zhou family, the old lady's affairs are the most important.

I nodded, immediately showing my understanding, and left quickly.

As soon as I got in the car, I called Wu Ling.

"Xuxu, how is it, did you get your diamond bracelet back?" Wu Ling asked the first question.

I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to my senses.

I made this trip and spent so much time and energy, but in the end, I didn't solve any of my important matters.
