What is he going to do

"Zhou Jin, why are you here?" Yan Siqi's tone of voice sounded a little dissatisfied, but it also carried a little puzzlement.

I raised my head to look at Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi was still wearing her expensive dress, and there was a picture of exquisite makeup on her face. The perfume scent was very strong, and it just so happened that it was the smell that I loathed.

One of them is actually Ye He. Ye He's eyes quickly swept past me and drooped her head, her clothes looked much better than before. Thinking about it, Yan Siqi is actually quite generous.

I took another step back without leaving a trace, once again pulling away from Zhou Jin.

The truth is, I am also very unhappy. I felt that Yan Siqi had disturbed our rare date, but the truth is that Yan Siqi is already engaged to Zhou Jin, and I have no right to be dissatisfied with it.

Yan Siqi walked to Zhou Jin's side, she held onto Zhou Jin's arm with both of her hands, and revealed a sweet smile on her face, she said gently: "Zhou Jin, why are you here? You haven't contacted me in a long time. "

"I came over to take a look." His smile and voice were obviously still very gentle, but I could hear the feeling of alienation within his words.

Yan Siqi laughed, then said, "You know that I definitely won't miss this exhibition, so you specially came to wait for me right?"

Zhou Jin shook his head silently.

Yan Siqi had obviously noticed Zhou Jin's cold attitude.

I looked down at the gem and motioned for the staff to show it to me, pretending not to know them.

"Let's go eat together." Yan Siqi said again, "We haven't eaten together for a long time."

Zhou Jin pushed Yan Siqi's hand away and said, "I still need to go back to the company."

Yan Siqi's expression was a little discouraged, she finally begged in a pleading tone, "Then accompany me on a tour around this place, this is fine, right?"

She kept retreating, she really liked Zhou Jin.

"I want this." I said to the exhibition staff, who nodded and wanted to put the diamond embryo I had taken a fancy to into the box.

Zhou Jin seemed to have heard me, and after he looked back at me, he wanted to leave, as if he did not want me to come into direct contact with Yan Siqi.

Yan Siqi's eyes swept across Zhou Jin and I, his face revealing a suspicious look. However, ever since Zhou Jin and I entered this place, we maintained a safe distance, and didn't do anything intimate.

When she faced me, her expression was a little unsightly. She probably still remembered me, the uninvited guest at her banquet, and she still remembered who I was. I am very honored, after all, with Miss Yan Siqi's domineering character, the number of people who have been beaten by her numbered in the hundreds.

"Why are you here?" Yan Siqi arrogantly asked me. Her eyes flashed, glanced at Zhou Jin, and then focused her gaze on me. In that instant, I understood what was going on in her mind, she still remembered Ye He's words.

She looked me up and down, analyzing the makeup on my face and the signs on my clothes, and then she scoffed as if I didn't deserve to be compared with her.

Not really. I added in my mind.

"Can't I come here?" I smiled decently, ignoring the disdain on her face.

After Yan Siqi heard what I said, she was startled, then her face immediately became pale, thinking that there were very few people who would talk to her like that.

She swept her gaze across me and then fell on the diamond embryo that I had set my eyes on. She seemed to be doing her best to redeem her lost face here.

Well, she thinks poor people like me can't afford to buy anything at the fair, or even if they could, she wouldn't let me.

I have long since experienced this kind of contempt and contempt from Zhou Ze.

She only took a glance at the diamond embryo and said to the exhibition's staff member, "I'll take this."

"But …" The staff member carrying the diamond embryo looked at me, then looked at Yan Siqi, and revealed a difficult expression.

I smiled and told the staff member, "Forget it, I'll just give it to Miss Yan."

Yan Siqi looked at me, a slightly pleased expression appearing on her face.

Zhou Jin stood behind her and looked at me. I glanced at him to indicate that it was okay.

At this moment, it was no longer convenient for me to stay here anymore. I took one last look at the butterfly shaped diamond embryo and said with a smile, "I won't disturb your exhibition any longer."

I turned to leave, not looking at Zhou Jin, but I could feel Zhou Jin's gaze on me, hoping that his movements would be graceful enough, hoping that the lines on my back would be perfect enough.

I don't want to stay here any longer.

I walked out of the exhibition hall, and after pushing open the door, I took one last look back at the people who were coming and going at the exhibition. They were all dressed extravagantly, with elegant manners and smiles that I had practiced hundreds of times in front of the mirror. They were so noble that they didn't even seem to know how to go to the toilet.

I thought of Li Jie, she was one of their memorial archways, I couldn't help but feel sad. Although something painful happened between us, I have to say that we were the ones who understood each other the best.

If I were to enter their social circle, my identity would be no different from Li Jie's. A farmer's daughter and a poor teacher's daughter would be no different, in the eyes of these rich people, money is just an increasing number. They would definitely not act for the sake of a single shop or exchange funds with each other to calculate how far they would go for me and Xie Zongming, they are all noble and elegant people, how could they let their bodies be dirty from the stench of copper.

I smiled wryly and walked out of the exhibition hall.

Work, most importantly, work.

I sat in the shop. The shop had been completely decorated and the signboard had been posted, and I only accepted appointments. I made the jewelry according to the customer's request, although I wanted to do it my way of determining what kind of jewelry the customer wanted.

After I tidied myself up, I locked the shop and went home. The competition was still not over, so even if I took out the sign, there probably wouldn't be anyone coming.

Taking advantage of the fact that I'm still free, I called Li Han, hoping that he could help me investigate the Yan family.

I was sitting in a taxi, and the road was full of people hurrying home or hurrying to work overtime, and everyone was busy, and in order to live, I often wondered what it meant to live, maybe it meant nothing to live at all, and it was a mortal like me who added to it so that it wouldn't be useless to try for the rest of my life.

I took the elevator. I looked haggard and tired in the mirror.

Sometimes I feel really tired.

I leaned against the wall of the elevator and closed my eyes for a moment.

The elevator arrived very soon. The door of the elevator opened and I accidentally opened my eyes, but I bumped into a pair of gentle eyes.

I saw Zhou Jin standing at the door of my house. He was still wearing the clothes I had seen on display, but his suit jacket and tie had been taken off. He was leaning against the door, his hair a little messy.

He heard the elevator and looked up at me, his eyes filled with weakness and joy.

I know this is the real him.

I hurried over and touched his face with my hand, but he kissed my palm, and there was sweat on his forehead.

"Don't you have the key?" I opened the door and said, "Why don't you go in and wait?"

Zhou Jin embraced me from behind and placed his chin on my shoulder. "I prefer to wait here for you."

I smiled and opened the door.

I changed out of my shoes and put on my slippers. I took off my dress to change into my usual clothes at home.

However, Zhou Jin grabbed my hand, and I tilted my head to look at him. He didn't say anything, just placed a small box in my hand.

I looked at Zhou Jin and took the small blue velvet box. I opened the velvet box, and inside was the diamond embryo that I had liked at the exhibition.

I then placed the box on the tea table, hugged Zhou Jin and kissed his. I said, "Thank you."

Zhou Jin looked at me and smiled.

I won't ask him how he took the piece of diamond embryo from Yan Siqi's hands.

After I changed my clothes, I sat in the studio to continue working. Zhou Jin walked to the side and sat on the floor to look at me. He had a wronged expression on his face.

From time to time I glanced at him, and every time I looked up, he changed his movements. Finally, as if he couldn't stand it any longer, he came from behind me and put his head on my shoulder.

I smiled and did not speak, and he did not speak either. This was our rare moment of tranquillity.

Right at this moment, Zhou Jin's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at me before going to the other side of the room to pick up the phone.

"Is there a problem with the auction?" Zhou Jin said.

Auction? I remembered that the Zhou and Yan family were going to hold an auction together.

"Alright, I'll be back right away." With that, Zhou Jin hung up the phone.

Zhou Jin walked to my side, lowered his head and kissed my forehead. He said, "I'm leaving."

I nodded, then held Zhou Jin's hand. After hesitating for a long time, I finally said, "There's a problem with the Yan family."

Zhou Jin put his hand over mine. His slightly cold hand was reassuring, and he said, "I know."

I watched Zhou Jin leave and fell into deep thought. He said he knew. What did he know? Was it the power in the shadows of the Yan family, or the danger he faced after marrying Yan Siqi.

Or.

An impossible thought came to my mind. What was he trying to do? What was the purpose of him voluntarily stepping into danger?

No. I threw the idea out of my mind, but it was getting clearer and clearer.

Three days later, I received a call from Li Han. He said that he had sent the related information to my mailbox, but because the Yan Clan's work was too secretive, he did not manage to find much useful information.

I opened the documents that Li Han had encrypted and found out that it wasn't much content inside. The email said that Yan Zhan was a person who had snuck out from the underworld, and could be considered a big shot, mainly doing things like smuggling and trafficking, and secretly running a casino. Because the situation wasn't good, after going through a gang battle, Yan Zhan started to slowly wash his face, although on the surface he looked like an honest art merchant, but many people guessed that he was still doing something illegal behind the scenes.

This time, the Yan Clan and Zhou Clan had an alliance. Then, the Yan Clan would be able to rely on the Zhou Clan's influence to thoroughly cleanse this matter.

The family business of the Zhou family was a colossus. It created countless jobs, and even if one day the Zhou family could not continue to operate, the country would allocate funds for it to continue to operate.

After Zhou Jin and Yan Siqi got married, even if the Yan Clan did not want to wash their face, the powers of the Zhou Clan would protect it.

So, I want to know whether the Yan Clan wants to borrow the Zhou Clan's power to make their property completely legal and no longer engage in illegal activities, or whether they want their family to become more and more powerful in the underworld.

Did the Zhou family know of this matter? Does Zhou Ze know?

He must have known.

I stared at the words on the mail and suddenly felt terrible. The water was so deep that I felt dizzy standing at the edge of the water.

Whatever their purpose? Among them, Zhou Jin was the most dangerous.

I put down these thoughts in my mind and put my heart and soul into my work.

The days passed quickly and a month went by quickly. One evening, I received a call.

"Hello, are you Miss Xia?" The caller spoke heavily accented English.

"I am." I felt a little strange, and my hands no longer felt tight. I even thought about my parents in America.

However, the person on the other end of the phone shouted excitedly.

"I'm from DeBeers. You were invited to participate in the global publication of the" FOREVERMARK Eternal Imprint "brand design. Your fan is the most beautiful of all. How did you do it in two months?" He spoke so quickly that I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, but I knew that my work had been chosen and that my work was the best.

I almost screamed. It looked like those desperate days and nights hadn't gone to waste.

He invited me to the awards, and although he didn't tell me which place I had won, I could guess my rank from his words and tone. The call ended quickly, and I stood there, suddenly at a loss as to what to do.

My brain went blank. I wanted to share the news with someone, but in the end I just put my phone away.

I booked a plane ticket to the field, and they said they would send me an invitation. I thought the visa would be out soon.

I was sitting on the sofa at home with my cell phone in my hand. I was hesitating on whether I should call Zhou Jin, but I was sure that Zhou Jin would also go. After all, his fiancee was also participating in the competition.

In the end, I didn't call him. I just sent him a text message telling him where I was going and how many days I was going to stay.

However, as I lay in bed and opened my eyes, it was still dark outside. After hesitating for a long time, I wanted to tell him.

I took out my cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed his number. It was picked up very quickly.

"Zhou Jin …" I said, "Where are you? Are you still busy? "

Zhou Jin waited for a while before replying, "Yes, I'm working overtime." His voice sounded tired.

"I'll go look for you. I have something to tell you." "No," I said.

Zhou Jin responded with a smile.

I hung up, put on my jacket and pants, went to the convenience store to buy some food before taking a taxi to Zhou Jin's office.

I stood at the bottom of Zhou Jin's office with the bag in my hand and looked up. The lights were still on in the windows, and the wind was blowing my hair.

I was glad. Maybe I could put on airs and tell him about my prize later.

I stood in the elevator and fixed my hair, a little regretting that I hadn't put on my makeup and had come out.

The elevator arrived in no time, and I felt a strange sensation as I watched the doors slowly open.

I took a deep breath to calm my heart.

As I walked down the corridor, my heels made a crisp sound, and to give him a surprise, I took them off. I stepped on them in my socks and put them in my bag.

Here it is. I thought. Zhou Jin told me where his office was on the phone.

Zhou Jin's office was naturally not as luxurious as Zhou Ze's, but it was still not bad.

When I got to the door, it was open, and I immediately moved closer to the wall so that no one could see me.

"Why are you here?" I heard Zhou Jin's voice. His tone was very cold.

"If you don't come to see me, can't I come to see you?" Yan Siqi said, but her tone of voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Zhou Jin did not say a word after hearing Yan Siqi's words.

The entire world was silent for a few seconds, then Yan Siqi suddenly spoke, "Why have you changed? "Why aren't you gentle to me anymore?" Her voice was full of grievance, "If I call you out, just say that you're busy with work. If I say that I want to get engaged to you, then you'll just drag it out."

"I'm not gentle." Zhou Jin's voice was indifferent.

Yan Siqi went silent, and then I heard her kick the table heavily, and she said, "You don't like me, right? Are you in love with someone else? " Yan Siqi cried. When she spoke, her voice was nasal.

I pressed against the wall, my hands balled into fists. I was nervous.

"From the beginning until now, I've only liked one person." Mr. Zhou said his tone was flat, but it was as if he was telling the truth.

Yan Siqi cried even louder after hearing Zhou Jin's words, she said, "Who is she? "You still won't tell me?"

Zhou Jin said nothing.

When I heard their conversation, I was shocked. Since they know everything, why are they engaged? Could it really be for benefits?

I couldn't resist poking my head out from behind the wall to look at Zhou Jin, then quickly turning my head back so that he wouldn't see me.

I saw Zhou Jin. He was sitting in his office chair, wearing a black suit. His expression was cold and he looked very tired.

Yan Siqi stood by his side and looked at him. She was wearing a beautiful short skirt and had one of her hands on Zhou Jin's shoulder.

"Is she dead?" Yan Siqi said, "Otherwise, why didn't you go and find her?" Yan Siqi's words were ear-piercing, but I understood.

Zhou Jin said calmly, "No."

"Can't you please like me?" Yan Siqi said humbly, "Can you take a look at me?"

Zhou Jin said, "With how painful it is for you, we don't need to get engaged anymore. I hope you can explain it clearly to your father."

Yan Siqi did not speak anymore, she seemed to be shocked by Zhou Jin's words.

"You don't want to get married." Zhou Jin said.

Yan Siqi's wails grew louder and louder as she said, "I want to marry you!" Then I heard a rustling sound.

I looked out and saw Yan Siqi hugging Zhou Jin, her entire body was collapsed on top of his.

I watched them in silence.

"Please save me from home. I don't want to go home." Yan Siqi said, "I hate my father."
