Shen Zhuowen looked at the phone for a while, then he switched to the phone and dialed.

The person picked up quickly.

"Which one?"

Shen Zhuowen lowered his eyes, looked at the ray of sunlight coming from the window, and said lightly , " Shen Zhuowen."

"What's up?"

Shen Zhuowen , " I'm sorry to trouble you about what happened in the club today."

Xie Rongzhi suddenly smiled, "Is she your woman?"

"I heard that you and your brother are competing for a project, and I happen to know that person." Shen Zhuowen did not answer, but simply said , " Let's have a meal together in two days?"

The smile on Xie Rongzhi's face gradually disappeared, but his voice still sounded good-tempered, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Shen."

Shen Zhuowen , " Projects are not free."

We are all businessmen, so we naturally understand the meaning of this sentence.

It is true that Xie Rongzhi came forward to protect Jiang Zhimiao's favor this time, but now for Xie Rongzhi, Shen Zhuowen's project has saved his life and saved his position in the Xie family. Businessmen value profits, and Shen Zhuowen There must be something else.

For example, protect Jiang Zhimiao.

"I understand, but Mr. Shen is not really interested in this woman if he puts so much effort into it, right?" he asked.

...

When Jiang Zhimiao returned home, Jiang Yunyun was not at home.

This just makes it easier for her to not have to make excuses.

In fact, when facing Jiang Yunyun, Jiang Zhimiao was always on tenterhooks every time he made excuses not to go home. Fortunately, Jiang Yunyun never asked.

It was also this time that Jiang Yunyun specifically asked after she had been gone for a long time.

As soon as Jiang Zhimiao returned home, he went back to his room, closed the curtains, locked the door, then got into bed and hid under the quilt.

The completely dark environment gave her a sense of security.

She closed her eyes, and the images from last night and today were intertwined in her mind.

Shen Zhuowen's and Fu Shaoyu's.

Back and forth, it flashed into my mind countless times.

It was like two evil ghosts that had been pestering her and looking at her with playful eyes. It seemed that they would not let her go easily until the last moment. In other words, they had no intention of letting her go from the very beginning. It was her Silly, I got on the pirate ship and thought I could escape unscathed just by paying a small price.

Don't twist the locked door handle.

Jiang Zhimiao was awakened from her nightmare. She suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the quilt and looked towards the door.

An indistinct female voice came from outside the door , " Zhizhi?"

Before Jiang Zhimiao could speak, she asked again , " Are you back, Zhizhi?"

Jiang Zhimiao responded dryly.

Jiang Yunyun said , " Are you taking a nap? Did I disturb you?"

Jiang Zhimiao said , " I was taking a nap and didn't disturb Aunt Yun. I'll come out after sleeping for a while."

"Okay, you go to sleep first, I'll go cook." Jiang Yunyun, contrary to her usual behavior, did not let Jiang Zhimiao open the door, but just took two steps back, "Don't be in a hurry to get up, it's rare to have such a rest at home."

Jiang Zhimiao , " Okay."

Sitting on the bed, listening to the bedroom returning to silence, I lay down and planned to continue sleeping.

But the intermittent sounds from the living room kept her awake.

Jiang Zhimiao waited for a while, rubbed his twitching eyebrows, and glanced across the bedroom curtains.

The red sunlight shone faintly through the curtains, dim enough to see that it was already evening.

I got out of bed and opened the window. The continuous crimson clouds were burning the sky. The sun was hidden among the clouds. Downstairs, I could hear people talking one after another. People were walking in groups of three or two, talking about normal family matters. It was warm and natural.

It is completely different from the power struggle.

Jiang Zhimiao's frightened, panicked and unstable heart suddenly calmed down.

Raising her cell phone, she captured the scenery.

Just as he was about to send a message to his friends, he heard a faint cry of pain from the living room. Jiang Zhimiao's heart tightened and he walked out quickly.

Jiang Yunyun was sitting on the sofa with an open medicine box in front of her. She was applying iodine to her arm. The wound on her arm was not big, but it was obvious that it was caused by a fall, and there were small scratches on the edge from stones.

Jiang Zhimiao walked over and asked nervously , " Auntie Yun, did you get sick outside?"

Jiang Yunyun waved her hand, "No, I just didn't walk steadily and fell."

If an elderly person does not walk steadily and suddenly falls, it can be a serious matter.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should have come back earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen down and had to pretend nothing happened.

Jiang Yunyun understood Jiang Zhimiao's expression and said comfortingly , " It's okay. You're busy with work. I understand. Look, Aunt Li's son from the next door building only comes back once every six months after a business trip."

Jiang Zhimiao pursed his lips and whispered , " I'm different."

"What's different about you?" Jiang Yunyun said unhappily , " It's just a small wound. It will heal after applying the medicine."

Jiang Zhimiao said , " No, I'll go to the hospital with you for a checkup this Saturday or Sunday."

Jiang Yunyun frowned, "No need——"

Before she could finish her words, Huang Juan's voice suddenly came from the door , " Jiang Yunyun, don't think you don't have to pay just because you're hiding from me. You still need 30,000!"

Jiang Yunyun's face changed and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhimiao.

Jiang Zhimiao's expression darkened and he looked back at Jiang Yunyun.

Jiang Yunyun stood up suddenly, but it was too late for her to stop him.

All one could see was Jiang Zhimiao quickly walking to the door, opening it, revealing Huang Juan outside.

Huang Juan saw Jiang Zhimiao, took a step back, and blurted out , " Why are you at home?"

Jiang Zhimiao's suppressed emotions were suddenly ignited, and she said sternly , " Does my absence make it easier for you to blackmail me?"

After she finished speaking, she raised her cell phone with a tense face.

"You asked Auntie Yun for too much, thirty thousand? Fifty thousand? I warn you, if you don't return the money before tomorrow, I will call the police directly."

Jiang Yunyun behind him carefully stopped him , " Zhizhi, don't ... I want to give it to them."

Jiang Zhimiao's voice was even louder than before , " Auntie Yun!"

Within a second, Jiang Zhimiao's voice echoed in the air.

Jiang Yunyun had never seen Jiang Zhimiao so angry. In her impression, Jiang Zhimiao had always been obedient and docile, never lost his temper with her, and always bore all the hardships by himself, so she was choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Huang Juan was different . " Jiang Zhimiao, who are you yelling at? She is your second mother. Do you think it's easy for her to raise you?"

She looked Jiang Zhimiao up and down, looked at the bandage on her neck, and sneered , " You are just another—"

Before the voice fell, the door was slammed shut!

There was also Jiang Yunyun's warning voice inside.

"Huang Juan, take the money and leave. If you want to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."

Huang Juan curled her lips and turned away.

In the living room, Jiang Zhimiao and Jiang Yunyun were confronting each other.

Jiang Zhimiao raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him who suddenly felt guilty and self-blaming. He suddenly thought of something and said , " Last time you took out your bank card, was it to get money from her?"

Jiang Yunyun's face froze, "I, I ... "

This attitude was close to admitting something. Jiang Zhimiao took a half step back. She was already in a bad mood, and now after this incident, she was even more overwhelmed.

"Do you know how she treated you in the hospital?"

Jiang Yunyun explained , " Zhizhi, they are really having a hard time. I can't just not help them if I want to."

Jiang Zhimiao said , " Is it a question of whether you want to do it or not, or do you have some leverage over them?"

Jiang Yunyun's body froze, but tears were falling from her eyes. She opened her mouth.

However, Jiang Zhimiao was a little tired of Jiang Yunyun's attitude.

Every time she couldn’t put it into words or couldn’t explain it, Jiang Yunyun always had this attitude.

The matter was over only when she softened her heart and asked for peace.

Obviously, they are also living a tight life and have to think about paying off their debts, but Jiang Yunyun always gives money to Huang Juan and her family. Huang Juan and her family are like blood-sucking worms that are feeding on them.

There were several times before when he couldn't pay back the money, and his house was smashed as a result, also because he gave the money to Huang Juan and others.

Jiang Yunyun looked at Jiang Zhimiao, who had a disappointed expression on his face, and took two steps forward, wanting to hold Jiang Zhimiao's hand.

Jiang Zhimiao dodged instinctively.

She pursed her lips slightly, took a step back, and softened her voice , " I know about my parents' affairs. I can't blame you, and I've never hated you for it. Aunt Yun, you can't just take them for granted. It was such a big fuss back then, and the police came to investigate. They said it had nothing to do with you. You didn't do it, so you didn't do it. Don't let them blackmail you anymore."
