Chapter Eighty-Three: Compromise, or Threat
After a few days of working on the job, Zhan Xingchuan obviously couldn't bear the loneliness again...... He had always been a man of pleasure, but he had been forced to live a very long quiet life after he had injured his leg in a car accident.
As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.
Zhan Xingchuan, who is easy to move, soon became active in Zhonghai's high social circle again, but he is obviously much more restrained since he is married, and every time he appears, he no longer hugs left and right like before. On many formal occasions, he will also inform Diao Ranran in advance, and if she is willing, both husband and wife will attend, which naturally attracts the envy of many people.
"I thought you would be upset. Even if it's just a little bit. β
Zhan Xingchuan stood in front of the dressing mirror, wearing a tie.
Diao Ranran also stood in front of the dresser, and carefully applied a layer of shiny lip gloss on top of the lipstick, so that the woman in the mirror looked fresh and juicy, just like a ripe and full peach.
She put away her lip gloss, adjusted the position of the earrings left and right, and then smiled lightly: "Why?" You're not going out to spend a lot of time. Don't think I can't hear it, every joke you say has a deeper meaning. Women have women's battlefields, and men have men's. You are willing to go to the battlefield and fight, I can't pull your sleeve, please don't go. β
Zhan Xingchuan frowned slightly, because he really couldn't tell whether Diao Ranran was praising him or mocking him.
However, before he could ask, she had already Shi Shiran walked over, stood in front of him, stretched out her hand, and helped him rearrange his tie.
"Much better, look."
She pulled Zhan Xingchuan's shoulder and motioned for him to take a look.
Sure enough, his tie tie skills were far less than one-tenth of hers.
"It turns out that marrying a wife has such benefits."
He raised an eyebrow and teased.
She puffed out one cheek, as if she was angry about to mess with his tie.
"Alright, let's go, don't be late. It's a charity dinner tonight, and you know, everybody has to put on a show and get the most out of every penny you spend. This is the so-called kindness of those of us who are businessmen, how about it, does it make you feel sick? β
Zhan Xingchuan wrapped his arms around Diao Ranran's waist from behind, lowered his body, rested his chin on her shoulder, and led her to gently shake in front of the mirror.
The intimacy he gave made her feel a little trance.
"No," Diao Ranran's voice was slightly hoarse, for she was still not used to being so gentle with him during the day, "because I'm also a businesswoman, a businesswoman." β
She felt as if she had told a very funny joke and giggled first.
Zhan Xingchuan didn't seem to think it was funny, but he just reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, then let go of her and went downstairs first.
His departure made Diao Ranran breathe a sigh of relief.
I don't blame her for being a thief, during this time, she has been secretly advancing various processes, with only one purpose, to take over the Diao clan as much as possible. Diao's deficit is too bad, and the company has to bear the cost of one day after one day of operation, and it has long been unable to make ends meet.
In the past few days, Diao Chengxi has been dealing with the various effects of middle and high-level job hopping in the company: customers are poached, projects are interrupted, and jobs are vacant.
Ruan Fan came to ask him for alimony every now and then, and he couldn't wait to leave directly. However, Bai Nuowei looked at him like a thief, this woman was even more advanced, so she simply hid Diao Chengxi's passport and other important documents, and she never left the company every day, even when he went to the bathroom, she had to wait in the corridor.
Under the huge pressure, Diao Chengxi also vaguely moved the idea of transferring Diao's out. But he didn't dare to really make up his mind, after all, this was the inheritance passed down from the family, and if it was destroyed in his hands, he was unwilling, and he couldn't get over it.
So, he persecuted Diao Ranran again and again, even at the expense of threatening.
"If you continue to die and don't save you, I'll be blamed for sending those photos and videos to Zhan Xingchuan..."
When they met for the last time, Diao Chengxi said viciously.
Diao Ranran's eyes were calm, she lowered her head, held the coffee cup in front of her with both hands, and didn't say a word, as if she hadn't heard.
"Are you deaf? I repeat, if you're not ashamed, I'll ......"
"If you want, please give it to him quickly, I don't care. I'm not a stupid and naΓ―ve female star, I don't care about the loss of reputation. What's more, at that time, I was not married, and it was completely my freedom to sleep with any man, and others had no right to interfere. What's more, it's also illegal to spread this kind of thing, you can do it, and see if I will actually prosecute you..."
She originally held on to a glimmer of hope, not wanting the father and daughter to really turn against each other. Unexpectedly, she was never the more ruthless one. Her father even wanted to use such a private thing to threaten her to obey, but he didn't care about family affection.
"Youβdon't think I dare... It's a big deal that I don't have this daughter... You little **, you, you ......"
Diao Chengxi was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't help but scold.
"You really don't dare. It's just that the reason you don't dare is not because of me, but because of your son-in-law, my husband. You're afraid that he will see those things and divorce me in a fit of rage. In that case, you will no longer have a way to continue to claim the identity of 'the father-in-law of Zhan Xingchuan', and when the time comes, those who chase you for accounts will never give you three points of face again, and they will no longer believe that you have a way to work around. β
Diao Ranran raised her eyebrows and said gloatingly.
The rabbit bites when she is in a hurry, not to mention, she doesn't think of herself as a rabbit at all.
"Y-you..."
Diao Chengxi's old face was flushed, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Diao Ranran, "you" for a long time, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Because, she was right.
That meeting finally broke up unhappily, and since that time, Diao Ranran has completely disappeared from Diao Chengxi. Whenever he called, she clearly told Ji Shixue that she would hang up, and she didn't even need to say a word of nonsense.
Ma Xueping was very efficient, and it only took a short time to hand over a check to Diao Ranran.
The thin check was almost weightless, but she felt extremely heavy when she held it in her hand.
"Miss Diao, according to your wishes, you have donated a fraction of it to charity in your mother's name."
For the young woman in front of him, Ma Xueping secretly admired: not everyone can be so calm after learning about the windfall, and she also donated part of the interest on the money. Although it is only the interest part, due to the huge amount of principal, even if it is just interest, it is a large amount of money, and no one can underestimate it.
However, when he thought that she was Qiujing's daughter, he felt relieved again.
Tiger fathers have no dog sons.
"Thank you, Lawyer Ma. Anyway, it's money from my mother, and I'll use it where it's best to put it. β
Diao Ranran thanked him and put away the check.
She didn't know if it was really Diao Ranran, and when she encountered these things, she would do the same. But she knew that she could only do that now. Perhaps, she didn't do it perfectly, but she tried her best.
In the eyes of outsiders, she must be an unfilial daughter.
However, Zhanxingchuan did the same.
Diao Ranran was still hiding it from him for the time being, because he didn't know how to speak. She wasn't worried, he would accuse her, he wouldn't do that. But she just didn't know how to say the first word to him.
Then put it off until you can't stop talking about it.
She looked at the bright-eyed woman in the mirror, tried to smile, and finally examined her makeup, and went downstairs.
Tonight, Diao Ranran once again accompanied Zhan Xingchuan to attend a large-scale charity dinner. Since the last time, after an accident on the set, he appeared in front of the media with her, and the couple's exposure has greatly increased.
And this also means that the privacy between two people has become scarcer and more valuable.
When Zhan Xingchuan and Diao Ranran walked into the banquet hall, their figures naturally attracted the attention of most of the people present.
Zhan Xingchuan held Diao Ranran, and calmly accepted the attention from all directions, he had long been used to it, and so did her walking beside him. The two of them look like an incomparably good match, and they are made in the same world.
Wen Yitong, who was standing not far away, couldn't tell what kind of love he was at this moment.
"There's no way, China Shipping is so small. When you accept the invitation, you should know that he's definitely coming, isn't it? β
The man next to her seemed to be calmer than her.
Wen Yitong bit her lip tightly, and a fierce color slipped through her eyes, but soon, she smiled.
"yes, since you've met, you have to come up and say hello, don't you? I'm fine, but you, are you okay? β
She deliberately looked at Qiao Yanne defiantly to see what kind of expression he would have.
He didn't speak, he stretched out his hand with a smile and squeezed Wen Yitong's wrist, "What do you say?" β
Her face changed dramatically, and she showed a very painful expression, and she almost screamed sharply, and the pain made her hair almost stand on end.
"Remember, don't casually threaten others, especially men, especially me, in the future. Actually, I don't care about your life or death, I just don't want to add another stain to my own life, understand? β
Qiao Yanne finished coldly, and then let go of his hand suddenly.
Wen Yitong was almost unsteady, she lowered her head, looked at her wrist, and inhaled repeatedly, in order to cover the wrist that was scratched with a blade, she could only wear a wide bracelet to cover it.
She deliberately slit her wrists in the bathtub at home so that the maid could find out.
In the end, Qiao Yanne was held to the back of the head by Qiao Rin with a gun and escorted all the way to the Wen family.
Circumstances forced him to compromise, even if only superficially.
