“Zeng Qing, I had wanted to give you a chance so that we could still be friends in the future, but I didn’t expect you to ignore me so many times when I asked you to repay the money. If we weren’t classmates, I would have called the police. I came to H City so many times to ask you to return the money to me, but not only did you avoid me, you even got your girlfriend to spread rumors that I was a mistress who seduced you. You’re really shameless!”

“You’re spouting nonsense. Clearly, you failed to seduce me and instead tried to slander me. Let me tell you, Qiao Sisi, don’t even think about getting your way. I will never like you in my life.” Zeng Qing said fiercely and took two steps back in disdain.

However, Qiao Sisi smiled and took Zheng Zeyi’s hand. “Honey, look at him. How can he slander me like this? Trust me, with such an outstanding and perfect man like you by my side, I’ll only fall for him if I’m blind.”

The Zhang family’s parents already formed their own conclusions. Everyone compared Zhang Zeyi and Zeng Qing. The comparison was like heaven and earth.

No matter how one looked at him, Zheng Zeyi was a highly eligible bachelor, a perfect man.

Zeng Qing had a slightly better-looking face, but compared with Zhang Zeyi, their aura and physique were worlds apart.

Even a blind person would choose Zhang Zeyi over Zeng Qing.

Zheng Zeyi held Qiao Sisi in his arms happily and patted her hand comfortingly, “Of course, I believe you.”

Then he looked at Zeng Qing and Zhang Li and said to the crowd, “Ms. Zhang, please stop the defamation of my fiancée immediately. Otherwise, I will use legal means to protect her reputation. Also, Mr. Zeng, since the evidence is conclusive and you indeed owe my fiancée so much money, please repay the money to her on time. Otherwise, we will see you in court.”

Qiao Sisi nodded and snuggled up to Zhang Zeyi obediently like a little woman.

Zhang Zeyi was very pleased, but Yang Yueyue was so angry that she almost bit her tongue.

How dare she!

Once he finished speaking, Zhang Zeyi ignored everyone’s expression and turned to Zhang Li’s parents. “Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, I’m really sorry. We have something on, so we’ll leave first. We’ll visit you again another day to apologize.”

How could Zhang Li’s parents stop him? They could only politely get the butler to send him away.

Qiao Sisi held Zhang Zeyi’s hand and left the villa arrogantly, oblivious to the storm she had just caused.

When they got into the Bentley, Qiao Sisi immediately let go of Zheng Zeyi’s hand and started to pant. Then she laughed loudly. “Did you see Zeng Qing and Zhang Li’s faces just now? And Yang Yueyue. She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. Hahaha, the way they looked when they were defeated was so funny. Awesome.”

Zhang Zeyi smiled at her and closed the partition between him and the chauffeur quietly.

It wasn’t until Qiao Sisi stopped laughing that she realized something was wrong. “Why… Why are you looking at me like that?”

“What do you think?” Zheng Zeyi propped his chin with one hand and looked at her with a faint smile.

Qiao Sisi moved to sit closer to the door, feeling uneasy. Obviously, he was looking at her lustfully.

But she did not say anything. She rolled down the car window and changed the subject, “Drop me off at the bus stop. I’ll take a taxi home.”

“Where are you going?” Zhang Zeyi looked at her with some displeasure in his eyes.

Qiao Sisi felt that he was strange and said matter-of-factly, “To my friend’s house, of course. Do I have to go with you?”

“Of course you have to come with me. Don’t forget, you’re my fiancée now.” Zhang Zeyi grabbed her hand with a dangerous look in his eyes.

Qiao Sisi struggled a few times but did not break free. She said quickly, “You said that I just have to pretend to be your fiancée. It’s just an act. There’s no need for us to get together, right?”

Zheng Zeyi played with her hand and chuckled. “Sisi, you have to understand that my family is very smart, especially my grandfather. He’s almost like a spirit. Since I said that you’re my fiancée, he’ll investigate you tomorrow. If he finds out that you don’t live with me, he’ll definitely think that I’m lying to him. If this happens, with one word from him, the entire H City will know that you’re fake. Then won’t your acting today be wasted?”

“My acting is wasted?” Qiao Sisi struggled. She did not think it was that serious.

Zhang Zeyi nodded. “Say, once Yang Yueyue and the rest know that you’re fake, will they continue to slander you? When that time comes, wouldn’t I be deceiving myself by coming out to explain?”

“It seems… It seems to be so!”

“Then can’t you ask your grandfather not to come?” Qiao Sisi continued to struggle. She felt that if she were to live with him, she would be like a meat bun thrown at a dog.

Zhang Zeyi looked really dangerous.

Zhang Zeyi looked at her and suddenly let go of her hand. He said, “Sigh, I wanted to introduce you to Jinyu as a designer, but it seems like I’m being nosy. You don’t need my help.”

Just as Qiao Sisi was about to nod, she suddenly stopped and grabbed Zheng Zeyi’s hand nervously. “The Jinyu you’re talking about, is it that internationally renowned designer, Xiang Jinyu’s jewelry design company?”

Zhang Zeyi nodded and retracted his hand. “Don’t worry. Since you don’t need it, I won’t force you.”

“No, I need it. I need it badly.” Don’t play a joke on me. Xiang Jinyu was her idol and the dream of many jewelry designers.

Everyone wanted to be like her, famous internationally and designing the jewelry she liked.

She was powerless to resist such a good opportunity.

“But aren’t you going back to live with your friend?” Zhang Zeyi smiled.

“No, my friend is taking her boyfriend home tonight. If I go, I’ll be an unwanted third party. That would be inappropriate. Young Master Zheng, please do me a favor and let me stay for the night!” Qiao Sisi looked at him anxiously, afraid that he would go back on his word.

“But aren’t you worried that I’ll have impure designs on you?” Zhang Zeyi continued his tactic.

Qiao Sisi looked at him intently and gritted her teeth. “Don’t worry. Even if it’s errant, it’s my fault for having impure intentions towards you. I believe in your character.”

“So, regarding my grandpa….”

“I will definitely perform well and play the role of your fiancée well. Your grandfather is my grandfather. I will definitely serve him like how I served my grandfather so that he will be pleased with me.” In order to enter Jinyu, Qiao Sisi had repeatedly crossed her bottom line.

“Yes. But this is not something that can be done in a day or two.” Zhang Zeyi was still hesitant.

“Don’t hesitate. I’ll wait no matter how long it will take. As long as you let me enter Jinyu.” Damn it, I’ll give it my all. Even if it’s a wolf’s den, I’ll take a risk.

Zhang Zeyi finally smiled in satisfaction. “Very good, baby. Remember what you said.”
