"As expected, in the next moment, the manager launched an attack." "Miss Lu said that the Patek Philippe diamond watch she left in her room is missing. We just checked the surveillance footage and you were the only one who entered room 3017 this morning."
Zhan Yan slightly narrowed her eyes, and replied with an indifferent tone: "I didn't see it."
"Do you think you can push it clean without even seeing it? Wei Zhanyan, that watch of mine is not cheap, it is understandable for you to be greedy at the moment. As long as you take the initiative to hand over my watch, I can let bygones be bygones. " Lu Anqi leaned on the sofa, with an overbearing attitude.
"I said I didn't see it." Zhan Yan's expression was indifferent, and she repeated herself once again.
"Wei Zhanyan, don't blame me for not giving you the chance." Lu Anqi snorted and looked at the manager beside him, "Manager Wang, you handle this matter. If you do not handle this matter well, I will have Wei Yang fire you."
"Miss Lu, don't worry. I will definitely make you satisfied." When he turned towards Zhan Yan, he immediately changed his expression to a cold one. Zhan Yan could not help but suspect that this man was born with two faces, if not he would not have changed his face so quickly.
"Wei Zhanyan, since you are not willing to cooperate, then I can only send people to search." After Manager Wang finished speaking, he led the group to the clean room in a grandiose manner.
Logically speaking, without concrete evidence, even a hotel manager would not be qualified to search an employee's belongings, but Manager Wang was anxious to claim credit in front of Lu Anqi, who knew that it would be pointless to stop her even if she wanted to eat him, so she just let them search. Anyway, she was not afraid of the consequences, and had a clear conscience.
However, when a beautifully wrapped gift box was taken out from her storage closet, Zhan Yan could not help but be shocked. If it was just a suspicion just now, then no matter how stupid she was, she understood now, everything was a conspiracy from the beginning to end.
"Miss Lu, can you take a look at your lost watch?" Manager Wang held the watch in front of her with both hands.
Lu Anqi opened the box and saw that it was still empty. Naturally, it was her missing Fei Li diamond watch. "That's right, this is the model." Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Zhan Yan, and she slapped him without saying a word. Zhan Yan had no time to dodge, she only felt a burning pain on his left cheek, and the stench of blood continuously rose from her throat.
"Wei Zhanyan, this diamond wristwatch is a gift from Wei Yang to me for our engagement. Do you know that it has a different meaning to me? Lu Anqi bellowed.
Zhan Yan tightly held onto the side of her aching face, slightly narrowed her bright eyes, and coldly looked at Angel. Such a cold and resolute gaze made Lu Anqi's heart involuntarily tremble.
"There must be a mistake." "Manager Wang, I was on duty in the lobby of the locker room today. Zhan Yan hasn't come back since she left this morning, how could she have stolen her watch and placed it in the closet?"
"Who doesn't know that you have the best relationship with Zhan Yan? Who would believe your words? You must be trying to cover up for Zhan Yan." After that, Xi Qing's testimony was disregarded by Hua Li.
Everyone's gaze returned to Zhan Yan, and some of them even gloated while waiting to see what would happen to her. Zhan Yan smirked coldly, her voice still as calm as it was before, "I finally understand today that the so called 'symbol of eternity' can also be used." Her clear eyes swept over the crowd, finally landing on the watch in Angel's hand, "I've never seen this watch before, and I'm sure there won't be any prints on it. We just need to get the police to check it out and we'll soon find out who the real thief is."
When she said this, the first one to panic was actually the cleaning team leader. "Maybe you erased the fingerprints beforehand."
"Is that so?" Zhan Yan sneered, "If I were really as meticulous as that, I wouldn't have left my watch in the storage room for you all to search."
Zhan Yan arrogantly raised her pointed chin, her eyes filled with disdain, and ridiculed, "Miss Lu's Bai Da Fei Li is worth at least five hundred thousand, which is more than enough for the Public Security Bureau to file a case against you. Xiang Qing, call the police for me."
Hearing that Zhan Yan wanted to call the police, Lu Anqi's face immediately changed, but she was relatively calm, placed the exquisite watch box into her bag and said to Manager Wang, "Since I've found my watch, the rest is your problem, I will not keep you company." After Lu Anqi finished, he carried Herm s and arrogantly left.
In the end, the cleaning team leader was pushed out to be the scapegoat, and Manager Wang gave Zhan Yan a month's salary as compensation, leaving the matter as it was. After all, the person standing behind Lu Anqi was Ji Weiyang, and no one dared to truly offend her.
The law of the jungle was the law of survival in this society.
After work, Zhan Yan sat on the roof of the hotel alone. Her body was shriveled up beside the railing, and her eyes blankly stared at the cars and horses downstairs. The mediocre cars and pedestrians were but a small black dot in her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" The sound of steady footsteps came closer and closer. The man's voice was gentle and filled with magnetism.
Zhan Yan slowly turned her head, only to see that Tang Yu was dressed in a milky-white windbreaker, and had already arrived beside her.
"Why are you here?" she asked, puzzled.
Tang Yu laughed, and then sat down beside her on the cold concrete steps. Because you are here, and I am here. "
Zhan Yan's persistence had long surpassed her imagination. Perhaps, he was truly a good man, but, the current Wei Zhanyan who was in such a terrible condition, simply did not deserve his good fortune. She had even shamelessly played with her ex-husband last night.
"Tang Yu, stop wasting time on me. We are truly unsuitable." She sighed lightly, his eyes as clear as a baby's.
Tang Yu maintained his unchanging smile, "Zhan Yan, if you haven't tried it, how would you know that we aren't suitable for each other?"
"Tang Yu, do you really understand me? How much do you know about my past? " There was a trace of ridicule in Zhan Yan's tone.
Tang Yu slightly sighed, as his gaze looked into the distance, "Zhan Yan, is the past that you speak of, the past of your marriage, or the decline and death of your clan?"
"You …" Zhan Yan looked at him in shock.
"Sorry, Zhan Yan, I checked you." Tang Yu apologized sincerely, he half squatted in front of her, looking at her with focused eyes, he was serious, "Because I like you too much, I want to understand more about you. Zhan Yan, I do not care about your past. On the contrary, you have suffered too much in the past.
Zhan Yan had to admit that his promise was good, and came too suddenly, so she was not prepared for it. Tang Feng, I … "
Speak up. Promise me you won't refuse. Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, won't you?" A trace of longing actually appeared in Tang Yu's eyes. His lips trembled a few times, and he actually couldn't bear to refuse.
"Let's go, I'll take you home. The wind on the roof is strong, so don't get caught in the cold." Tang Yu took off his jacket, placed it on Zhan Yan's shoulders, and carried her as they walked down.
At the same time, in the top floor of Ji's Group's CEO's office.
Ji Weiyang sat in the big boss's chair, his head lowered as he carefully reviewed the documents, a faint, imperceptible smile on his lips. Occasionally, a senior executive came in to report on something, and he was surprisingly amiable.
Tang Feng sat on the sofa at the side and thought to himself: It's truly raining down red rain. Ever since I divorced Zhan Yan, Third Young Master Ji's emotions have been as cold as a frozen valley.
"Oh, look at how pleased he is with himself. He must have succeeded last night."
Ji Weiyang laughed but did not say a word, throwing away the golden pen in his hand, his tall and big body lazily leaning on the owner's chair. The wonderful feeling Zhan Yan had last night was still unforgettable for him. Even in his three years of marriage, he rarely asked for her to marry him in such a wild manner.
"I say, Third Young Master Ji, you have to use the same trick twice. Tang Feng smiled and lit a cigarette.
"It's good that it's effective. What we do is not important." Ji Weiyang replied indifferently. Last night, he had indeed poured wine into Zhan Yan's cup on purpose. Only after getting drunk would that girl become obedient.
"What is it? Do you really plan to remarry Wei Zhanyan? " Tang Feng asked again.
Ji Weiyang's sword-like eyebrows knitted slightly as the smile on his face deepened, "No rush, that piece of paper also doesn't mean anything. "The Luo Family has yet to recover from their anger. Let's delay it for a few years first."
Tang Feng nodded his head, his lips trembling a few times, as though he wanted to say something.
"Say what you want to say." Ji Weiyang took out his case, and casually lit up a cigarette.
"After all, Zhan Yan accidentally killed Aunt, do you really not mind at all?"
Tang Feng's words made Ji Weiyang turn silent. He took a deep breath and lightly exhaled the smoke. His handsome face became a deep blur as the mist curled around him. That was his biological mother, so how could she not have any grudges against him? He had been angry before, but he had also hated her. However, no matter how much emotion he had, he was still unable to stop love.
Ji Weiyang picked up the phone, but did not say a word. After hanging up, he stood up and grabbed his jacket.
"What is it?" Tang Feng asked.
"Nothing, that woman Lu Anqi is restless again, I'll go take a look."
As usual, Tang Feng sent Zhan Yan downstairs and watched her enter before he drove away.
After passing through the narrow corridor, Zhan Yan stopped at a bend in the corridor.
Beside her room, Ji Weiyang was holding onto his jacket with one hand in his pocket. His posture was cozy and lazy, as if he had been staring at her for a long time, but his handsome face didn't show the slightest hint of impatience.
"You can bear to come back? "Open the door." His long fingers casually touched the heavy door.
Zhan Yan stood in place without moving, "Third Young Master Ji, you seem to have walked into the wrong place, this is my home."
Ji Weiyang chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness, "Are you sure you want to remain in a stalemate with me?"
He had stepped on her weak spot with a few casual words. The four houses in this unit were in a deadlock outside the door, so she could only let her neighbors watch the show.
Unwillingly, Zhan Yan took out the key to open the door. Ji Weiyang walked in first and changed his shoes at the profound entrance. Zhan Yan followed behind him and walked in, she was thinking about how to send him away, she never expected that he would suddenly turn around.
Ah!" Zhan Yan gasped in a low voice as she crashed into his sturdy chest.
Ji Weiyang then extended his arm and wrapped it around her waist, locking her soft and tender body into his embrace, "Yan Yan, are you in such a hurry to throw yourself into her arms?"
"You … "Let go!" Zhan Yan struggled with all her might, but was unable to shake him even slightly. On the contrary, Ji Weiyang held him even tighter.
He lifted her chin with his palm and ran his palm over her swollen left cheek. "She's in trouble with you?"
Zhan Yan bit her lips and did not say a word.
"My cell phone number hasn't changed, why didn't you call me?" Ji Weiyang asked again.
Zhan Yan coldly pursed her lips, "Why did I call you? Director Ji, we don't have any relations anymore. "
"Oh? Is that right? " Ji Weiyang's handsome face did not show any signs of anger, instead, he laughed even more frivolously, "But how do I remember that last night, you were still moaning emotionally under my body, constantly shouting out my name …" His lips moved dubiously around the sensitive parts of her ears.
"Ji Weiyang, enough!" Zhan Yan quivered as she pushed him away, and then fell limply onto the sofa.
Ji Weiyang did not continue making things difficult for her, but turned and walked into the kitchen. He always remembered Zhan Yan's habit, she would always place the medical kit in the kitchen cabinet in his house.
Ji Weiyang carried the medicine box and sat beside her. He took out the anti-swelling ointment from the box and used one hand to hold her face. Zhan Yan tilted her head, and was somewhat unwilling to cooperate. And the direct consequence of her resistance was that Ji Weiyang carried her into his arms and tied her up in his lap.
"Does it hurt?" He gently asked. His fingertip was smeared with ointment as he lightly applied it to her swollen red cheeks.
Zhan Yan rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You want me to give you a slap?"
Ji Weiyang suddenly laughed, and actually brought his handsome face up to hers, and held her small hand up to his handsome face. "Yan Yan Yan is really willing to part with it?"
"Ji Weiyang, you are bored." Zhan Yan flung his hands away and struggled to break free from his embrace.
Ji Weiyang did not force her, and only put his arms behind his head in satisfaction. His gaze quietly sized up the place she lived in, and he was truly pitiful.
"I have a three-bedroom apartment on Huaihai Road. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to help you move." His tone of voice was still the same as always, there was no room for negotiation.
Zhan Yan laughed sarcastically, "I live very well here, there's no need for Director Ji's pity. It's getting late. Isn't it time for Ji to leave? "
Ji Weiyang laid on the sofa without moving, his eyes carrying a trace of laziness. "I don't intend to leave."
Zhan Yan stood up abruptly. She was really unable to suppress her anger. Ji Weiyang, they are already divorced, what does he want to do? Moreover, he was already engaged to Lu Anqi, so why did he come to pester her?
"Ji Weiyang, you are the dignified CEO of Ji's, if you have the wind and the rain, why do you have to bother with me, a small and useless commoner? I have a small temple here, and cannot afford to supply you with such a great Buddha, can I?"
Ji Weiyang's eyes became deep as he stared at her. His gaze was so deep that he could not see the end of it. I don't need to summon the wind and rain, Zhan Yan, I only want you. "
Zhan Yan raised her lips in ridicule, as if she had heard a great joke. She was truly unable to see through this man. As she was talking about love with him, she was also betrothed to Lu Anqi, giving him 'time and eternity'. Had he broken her heart and thought she could coax her into obedience by saying something sweet? Just what did he take her, Wei Zhanyan, to be?!
"Ji Weiyang, if you still don't leave, I'll call the police." Zhan Yan said with a cold face and a righteous tone.
Ji Weiyang laughed warmly, he embraced her easily and pulled her into his embrace, "Call the police, alright, I'll help you." He held the phone in his hand and actually dialed 110 …
"Young Master Ji? Just a moment, please. I'll connect you to the director immediately. "
After a few busy beeps, the call was connected again. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, "Weiyang, what are you doing now? I'm going to have a meeting right now and I need to make a personal call. "
"Brother-in-law, it's fine. I missed you. Greet me." Ji Weiyang smiled lazily.
"Kid, you just have to do it day after day." The man on the other end of the line hung up. It looked like he was really busy.
Ji Weiyang casually threw his phone to the side, then raised Zhan Yan's chin sinisterly: "Yan Yan, next time don't play such a childish game, remember that?"
Zhan Yan pursed her lips tightly, and did not say a word. She was so stupid that she forgot that the S City Public Security Bureau Chief was Ji Weiyang's real brother-in-law. No wonder he was so fearless when it came to her black and white feet. There were many protective umbrellas behind him.
