Chapter 272 Yi Fanxi is also very strange.
Inside the bar, Meng Xinyu and Qin Yun were absolutely high. They raised their glasses in celebration, saying, "Now I'm going to see how Yan Zuozuo turns things around. The whole country knows now. No matter how powerful my cousin is, I don't believe he can clear that little bitch Yan Zuozuo's name."
"Xinyu, you're really something, but I'm still a little worried." Qin Yun frowned slightly. "What if Young Master Ou comes out to clarify? Besides, you're Young Master Ou's girlfriend now. Your boyfriend slept with that little bitch Yan Zuozuo, aren't you angry at all?"
Meng Xinyu slowly swirled her wine glass, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes: "Who said they slept together? Young Master Ou didn't touch that slut. That recording may be real, but it was just a joke by our Young Master. How could my man casually seduce other women?"
"I see, I knew it... hahaha..." Qin Yun laughed, taking a small sip of strong liquor, "Then aren't you afraid that your Third Young Master Ou's reputation will be ruined too?"
"Anyway, Young Master Ou's reputation isn't very good. One more or one less Zuo Zuo won't make a difference to him. It's no big deal. Besides, even if it's ruined, it's better. Other women won't dare to want him, so my chances of marrying him will be greater." Meng Xinyu said confidently, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.
Qin Yun was overjoyed and raised his glass, saying, "Cheers to marrying Young Master Ou and becoming Young Master Ou's wife!"
"Haha, you understand me best."
Meng Xinyu and Qin Yun were half-drunk and didn't notice the man sitting next to them until they left the bar. After they left, they quickly made a phone call.
It was 5:30. Yan Zuozuo stretched and did a final check of her work before heading home. Just then, there was a knock on her office door. It was Yi Fanxi.
Yan Zuozuo looked at him: "Is something the matter?"
Yi Fanxi was tall and thin, his delicate features still expressionless. He placed the documents in front of her, "These are what I've prepared, take a look."
"Thank you for your hard work." Yan Zuozuo smiled, took the bag and looked at it, then said with satisfaction, "You can go home now."
However, Yi Fanxi did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat opposite Yan Zuozuo, adjusted his glasses, and said, "I've seen today's news."
Yan Zuozuo had initially wondered why Yi Fanxi, who wasn't nearsighted, would suddenly wear glasses, but then she realized it wasn't anything to be curious about. Being so handsome, he was bound to be bombarded with infatuated girls; wearing glasses would at least diminish his good looks considerably. However, a handsome guy is a handsome guy; even the most unfashionable glasses couldn't diminish his charm.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Yi Fanxi ask this question, and she snapped back to reality, "Huh?"
"I've investigated. Meng Xinyu and Qin Yun did this together." As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Zuozuo indifferently.
Yan Zuozuo looked back at him with a strange expression: "So, what are you trying to say?"
"You can do whatever you want with them, however you want to punish them, but spare Qin Yun's life."
Yan Zuozuo frowned and looked at Yi Fanxi's cold and indifferent handsome face, asking, "Why should I listen to you?"
Actually, she wasn't surprised at all by Yi Fanxi's request. After all, Qin Yun was the only daughter of Yi Fanxi's adoptive father, and it was only natural for Yi Fanxi to plead for her.
"My comments can make you or break you." Yi Fanxi's tone remained unchanged. Although it was clearly a threat, it didn't sound threatening at all. Instead, it sounded like he was stating a fact.
Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly: "You're not the only seasoned critic. You can slander me, and I can find people to praise me just the same way. A work without controversy isn't a good work. Your criticism and other people's praise might just make me successful. Besides, I'm not some internationally renowned designer to begin with."
Yi Fanxi's eyes flickered: "I heard that President Chi is investigating J-Master's whereabouts. If you agree to spare Qin Yun's life, I can give you a clue."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, recalling what Chi Moqing had said, and after a moment of contemplation, asked, "What clue?"
"Tong Shili's purpose in appearing this time is not only to get President Chi, but also for other purposes. That's all I can say."
"You have a connection with Master J?"
"No comment, Miss Yan. Remember our deal." With that, Yi Fanxi left, leaving Yan Zuozuo stunned. What other purpose could Tong Shili have?
Just as she was lost in thought, her phone rang. It was Chi Moqing calling. Her eyes dimmed. "Honey, did you see the news?"
"Yes, I saw it. Honey, don't pay attention to those messages. Leave this to me. You're almost off work, right? Wait for me, I'll come pick you up right away."
"Okay, I happen to have some news to tell you," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.
She was packing her things and getting ready to leave work when the office door opened, and Cai Keren pushed it open and came in. "These people are so boring! Damn it, they don't even ask what's going on before making comments. It's infuriating! Zuo Zuo, did you see the comments above? What kind of nonsense is this? They don't even know the situation and are just making a fuss!"
Yan Zuozuo laughed and said, "How do you know the recording isn't real?"
"Tch!" Cai Keren rolled her eyes. "We've known each other for so long, do you think I don't know who you are? You and President Chi are so lovey-dovey that you're practically inseparable, how could you have time to look for Young Master Ou? I bet this is the work of either a fan of President Chi or Young Master Ou, it's just too much!"
Yan Zuozuo just smiled and didn't say anything, which surprised Cai Keren. "You're not angry?"
"Will getting angry solve anything? Besides, if someone is playing tricks, they obviously hope I get angry and make things worse, maybe even hoping I do something irrational. If I do that, wouldn't I fall into their trap?"
Cai Keren nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, that's exactly it. Don't be angry, just make those shameless people angry!"
"Yes, and my husband is here too. He's a grown man and he's not worried at all, so what do I have to worry about?"
"Tsk tsk, a woman who's pampered by her husband really does talk differently. Never mind, since you two are both fine, why should I worry about it? Time to go home."
Yan Zuozuo smiled, picked up her bag, and walked downstairs with Cai Keren. Just then, her phone rang. It was from an unknown number with only one sentence: "Remind President Chi to be careful of Tong Shili."
Her eyes darted around, and she figured it must have been from Yi Fanxi, so she saved his number.
When she came downstairs, Chi Moqing hadn't arrived yet, but a group of reporters had gathered at the entrance. Cai Keren was startled by the scene and grabbed her, running upstairs. When they reached the fourth floor, she said breathlessly, "Damn it, these paparazzi are terrifying! What do we do now?"
Yan Zuozuo frowned and called Chi Moqing, telling him not to come pick her up, lest she become the target of a siege.
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Come out through the back door of Fan Hua Design. I'll be waiting for you there."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. As expected of President Chi, he even knew about the back door. She waved goodbye to Cai Keren and walked straight to the back door, where she saw Chi Moqing already waiting.
Yan Zuozuo ran straight into the car, and as soon as she got in, she saw that Chi Moqing's expression was somewhat serious. She asked in confusion, "What happened? Honey, you seem very angry."
Chi Moqing handed her a bouquet of blue roses: "Wife, I've made you sad again. I'm sorry."
Yan Zuozuo, holding the flowers, smiled broadly. "It's not your fault. Besides, you're the one who embarrassed yourself. My husband is so magnanimous that he wasn't angry, so naturally I won't be upset either."
Seeing Yan Zuozuo like this, Chi Moqing was filled with emotion. He reached out and hugged her, saying, "Wife, thank you."
"Tell me, what exactly made you angry?" Yan Zuozuo asked, looking up from the bouquet.
Chi Moqing's face darkened: "My aunt went to see my mother and told me to let Meng Xinyu go!"
"Hehe." Yan Zuozuo chuckled. "That's normal. Meng Xinyu is Auntie's darling, so of course she'd ask for help after doing something like that. But... honey, what did you say?"
"Dare to bully my wife? Kill her without mercy!"
Seeing his domineering demeanor, Yan Zuozuo felt a warm glow in her heart. She leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, then said, "What's there to be angry about? Let's go home. Your wife will cook you a delicious meal herself."
"Yes, my dear wife!" Chi Moqing immediately started the car.
Back home, Yan Zuozuo immediately started preparing to make dumplings. Chi Moqing's eyes lit up, "I'll roll out the dumpling wrappers."
Yan Zuozuo made three kinds of dumplings in one go and cooked them separately. Chi Moqing was very accommodating and ate a big bowl of each kind. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he sat on the sofa and said with satisfaction, "My wife's dumplings are just the best, unbeatable in the world."
Yan Zuozuo looked at him with a smile: "You're so good at flattery."
"No, I'm just speaking from the bottom of my heart, telling the truth," Chi Moqing immediately defended himself.
After washing the dishes, Yan Zuozuo cut some fruit and put it on the table. "Honey, I have something very serious to tell you."
Chi Moqing patted his leg: "Serious matters should be discussed in a serious place. Wife, come and sit down."
Yan Zuozuo gave him a playful glare, not intending to sit down. But Chi Moqing stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms, taking the opportunity to steal a kiss and saying, "That's a good girl."
Yan Zuozuo felt helpless and too lazy to argue with him, so she took out her phone to show him. After reading the text message that Yi Fanxi had sent her, Chi Moqing simply asked what was going on, and Yan Zuozuo was quite frank.
Chi Moqing frowned slightly: "I understand, don't worry, wife, I'll handle it."
"Honey, is this Mr. J really that troublesome?"
Chi Moqing nodded thoughtfully: "It's very troublesome, and I don't even know what his purpose is in coming after me. Right now, I can only be more cautious." He paused, then added, "Now that you're working with Tong Shili, you need to be even more careful, understand?"
Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment and said, "I know, but I haven't noticed anything unusual about her."
Chi Moqing chuckled and pinched her nose, saying, "Wouldn't it be a failure if you could easily spot something amiss with someone like this?"
Yan Zuozuo thought it made sense.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she rushed to the study and quickly turned on the computer. She'd overheard Cai Keren say a few words when she left work; she wondered what the online comments were like now.
Chi Moqing followed behind her: "Wife, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"I'm not in a hurry, I just... I just..." Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say for a moment. Actually, she was in a hurry, not because she cared about the comments, but because she was afraid that if Chi's mother saw it, it would affect them.
She turned on her computer and clicked on the trending topics list next to her. She took a deep breath, bracing herself for the barrage of criticism, but when she saw the comments, she was immediately dumbfounded.
