Chapter 19: The Strategy of Discord

in the Xiangfu villa. After showering, the two chatted on the bed.During that time, Zhan Yanqing called Jiang Mingzhu on the phone.Ginger Mingzhu picked up, and she heard him say, "Mingzhu, I think yo...Jane spoke quickly, "Yan Qing, how did you get here"

"I'm not coming. I didn't know you were bullying her behind my back!" Jan Yanqing saw Jiang Mingzhu's red, puffy eyes and felt heartbroken. "Sister, if you don't want to help, just say so. There's no need to resort to these underhanded tactics."

Jian Yu Bai looked at Jiang Ming Zhu, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Jian Yanqing couldn't have just come here for no reason.

Ginger Mingzhu saw Zhan Yu Bai's gaze and immediately reached out to pull Zhan Yan Qing, "Don't misunderstand, President Zhan didn't bully me, she just doesn't want me to be looked down upon."

Then, I went to explain to Jian Yu-bai again, "Jian Zong, I'm sorry, I acted without authorization and called Yiqing over... I originally wanted the three of us to chat together."

Jian Yu Bai looked at Jiang Mingzhu's innocent and flustered appearance, for a moment she couldn't tell if her emotions were genuine or feigned.

"You don't need to explain anything to her." Zhan Yanqing felt even more distressed. He shielded Jiang Mingzhu and looked at Zhan Yubai with anger in his eyes, "Sister, you've disappointed me so much!"

James spoke in silence.

Ginger Mingzhu was still playing peacemaker, "You shouldn't talk to President Zhan like that, she'll be hurt."

"Come with me." Zhan Yanqing took Ginger Mingzhu out.

Ginger Mingzhu was well-behaved and kept her head down all the way. She was taken into the car by Zhan Yanqing.

Jane Cyan: “You don’t have to take my sister’s words seriously. In the future, stay away from her so she won't bully you again.”

"I understand her intentions."

Jane Chiang: "Stop speaking for her. Her intention is a quid pro quo. She's already been assimilated by my father."

After all the commotion just now, Zhan Yanqing’s attitude became even more firm. “I’ll pick you up on the weekend. That’s settled.”

"That's amazing, you really outdid yourself." Fang Qin Yang gave Jiang Mingzhu a thumbs up after hearing about her moves tonight. "But, is Jian Yanqing serious about you He wouldn't actually do that, would he"

Jiang Mingzhu remained noncommittal.

Fang Qin Yang: "If Zhan Yan Qing really marries you, will Zhou Li be unable to contain his anger Has he bothered you these days"

Jiang Mingzhu played with her fingernails, her gaze fixed. "He should have checked me out already and shared the information with Zhan Yubai."

Otherwise, Jan Yu-bai wouldn't suddenly be so guarded about her and Jen Yen-ching getting close.

"Then you're still so calm" Fang Qinyang couldn't sit still. "Even if he can't find out about that, you and..."

"If they had evidence, they would have just given it to Jian Yanqing directly." Jiang Mingzhu remained calm as ever.

Fang Qin Yang: "There isn't now, what about later Not to mention anything else, if they find out about Zheng Linxu, how will you explain it to Zhan Yanqing"

"What do you think, after tonight, how much trust does Jian Yanqing have left for Jian Yubai" Jiang Mingzhu asked back without answering.

Fang Qinyang was enlightened, "You should go back and engage in palace intrigue."

Ginger Mingzhu curled her lips into a smile, her beautiful eyes gleaming with determination. She always liked to keep the reins in her own hands when doing things.

Since Jan Yu Bai can't hold back and wants to confront her, she might as well play along with her for a bit.

Although there are still a few days, she has already started looking forward to the weekend activities.

The next day, when Jiang Mingzhu went to the office to give Zhou Li coffee, she immediately felt his cold, scrutinizing gaze.

I assume yesterday's commotion has already been explained to him by Zhan Yu Bai.

Jiang Mingzhu, for once, hadn't taken the initiative to speak. She was about to put down her coffee and leave when she heard his command in her ear, "Stop."

Jiang Mingzhu stopped, said nothing, and stood respectfully, completely acting like an assistant waiting for her boss's orders.

Zhou Li saw Jiang Mingzhu's appearance, the coldness on his face deepened, he got up and walked towards her.

Jiang Mingzhu, like a frightened little rabbit, was startled and took a step back. Zhou Li could only hold her shoulders and trap her in front of the desk.

"Brother, why are you so enthusiastic today" Jiang Mingzhu regained her frivolous demeanor, her red lips brushing against his ear and blowing air, "Did your fiancée not satisfy you last night You're really fired up, hiss..."

Before she could finish her words, the hand on her shoulder tightened suddenly, almost crushing her shoulder blade.

"Don't go to the weekend activities," Zhou Li warned her.

If it's really for this, Jiang Mingzhu smiled through the pain, "Alright."

Then she saw a flash of surprise in Zhou Li's dark eyes. A feeling of mischief surged through her, and Jiang Mingzhu playfully winked: "If my brother kisses me now, I won't go."

"Ginger Mingzhu." Zhou Li choked her by the neck.

"Are you there" Jiang Mingzhu boldly reached out to touch his Adam's apple. "Even when you're angry, your expression is so sexy."

Zhou Li:：“……”

Jiang Mingzhu seized the opportunity when he wasn't looking, leaning in close to his face and quickly planting a kiss on him.

Zhou Li's body stiffened abruptly, as if pushing away something dirty he had to clear her.

"My brother won't kiss me, so I have to kiss my brother instead." Jiang Mingzhu gave him another flying kiss. "See you at the weekend party."resence, the heart that had been hanging in the air finally returned to my stomach.Over the years, she has hardly ever taken off her earrings except during special occasions like swimming.If Zhou Li r...
