Chapter 933 Unfounded Suspicion
Why is this guy calling me now?
During this period, Zhou Renjie hadn't called Ji Xiuhan at all, only sending a text message at most. This was because Zhou Renjie had been extremely busy dealing with matters concerning the Shanghai Feilong Group.
To be honest, Ji Xiuhan was not only satisfied with Zhou Renjie, but also very grateful. Zhou Renjie had taken over almost everything that was supposed to be done by Ji Xiuhan; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live such a carefree life.
However, when Ji Xiuhan saw that Lu Wanqing was still browsing the news about Xiao Ran and Ye Haitao, he had a sudden thought and guessed the purpose of Zhou Renjie's call, so he hung up immediately.
He and Lu Wanqing are now close, so if he answers the phone, even if Lu Wanqing doesn't want to listen, she can still hear the conversation.
"Honey, whose phone was that? Why did they hang up so quickly?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Wanqing suddenly glanced at Ji Xiuhan, her eyes full of suspicion.
"A call from an unknown number—you know I never answer calls from unknown numbers!"
Ji Xiuhan answered casually.
"Was that really an unknown number? I think I saw a note about it."
Lu Wanqing suddenly sat up straight, staring at Ji Xiuhan.
"Huh? Notes? What notes?"
Ji Xiuhan pretended not to know.
This man is faking it again! There's no doubt it was his "lover" who called; he didn't dare answer in front of me, afraid of being exposed!
Lu Wanqing rolled her eyes inwardly, a feeling of displeasure rising in her heart. The image of Ji Xiuhan embracing another man in the elevator flashed through her mind, and her mood, which had been fine just moments before, plummeted.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Wanqing wasn't good at hiding her emotions, and the disappointment on her face was impossible to conceal. Ji Xiuhan quickly asked.
"It's nothing. If it's inconvenient, just go over there and call them back. If there's anything you need to talk about, then we can have a proper chat."
Lu Wanqing waved her hand, her tone as if shooing away flies, wanting Ji Xiuhan to stay away.
"Honey, did you think I was lying to you?"
Ji Xiuhan quickly took out his phone, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, I must have misread it! Honey, don't overthink it, it's actually an acquaintance calling, a colleague from work."
I don't know what's wrong with him, calling me now. Doesn't he know I'm on my honeymoon?
He muttered as he spoke.
"Alright, stop explaining."
If it's inconvenient for me to listen, then go somewhere else to make the call. Don't worry, I definitely won't eavesdrop.
Seeing Ji Xiuhan's pretentious act, Lu Wanqing felt even more uncomfortable.
She couldn't explain why she suddenly felt uncomfortable. In her mind, Ji Xiuhan was a homosexual and a pervert. He only signed a contract with her to be a temporary couple to give his family an explanation and to use her as a shield.
Ji Xiuhan is definitely still secretly dating his "lover" and continuing their relationship.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Wanqing felt that her role was particularly uninteresting and completely superfluous.
That bastard! He's been sending WeChat messages for so many days, why did he suddenly go crazy and make a phone call today?
Seeing Lu Wanqing's change of expression, Ji Xiuhan felt inexplicably displeased, but couldn't figure out why, and secretly blamed Zhou Renjie.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious office in Linhai City, two people were embracing each other. They were none other than Zhou Renjie and Gao Xiao'e.
"That bastard didn't answer the phone and hung up immediately?"
Gao Xiao'e looked at her phone, stretched lazily, and said.
During this period, Zhou Renjie was stationed in Linhai City, busy reorganizing the Feilong Group, constantly changing the personnel in key departments, removing or expelling those who were originally loyal to Ye Feilong, in order to ensure the safety of the Feilong Group.
After all, this is a conglomerate with assets exceeding one trillion yuan, involving too many aspects, and he has been extremely busy lately.
As for Gao Xiao'e, she cherishes her man and stays by his side at all times.
Zhou Renjie's food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all taken care of by Gao Xiao'e.
Even the pampered young lady who used to "never lift a finger" has now become a virtuous wife. She not only knows how to take care of people, but she has also learned to cook.
It was almost six or seven o'clock today, and Zhou Renjie was still busy. Gao Xiao'e, having nothing to do, picked up her phone to browse headlines and read gossip.
This is her favorite pastime.
But soon she came across a headline, and her eyes widened in surprise. The person in the news was none other than her cousin, Xiao Ran!
Gao Xiao'e, who harbored a deep hatred for Xiao Ran, couldn't help but mutter, "How did this woman suddenly become a headline?"
She clicked on the news, quickly read the content and the comments below, and then curled her lip in disgust: "It's just dating and going on a date, why make such a fuss?"
"You hypocritical woman, what kind of man would be interested in you? I bet whoever gets involved with you is going to be in big trouble!"
"And then there's this Ye family, Ye Haitao, the eldest son of the Ye family, who is actually the future young master of the Ye family..."
"Tsk tsk, this woman has such a dark and despicable heart, yet she still managed to find such a handsome man with such a good family background. Heaven is truly blind."
After scrolling through news articles, Gao Xiao'e quickly figured out Ye Haitao's identity. She shook her head repeatedly, feeling an indescribable contempt.
In order not to disturb Zhou Renjie's work, she sat quietly to the side and kept scrolling through her phone. But the more she scrolled, the more headlines from various websites pushed news about Xiao Ran and Ye Haitao to her.
Soon, she saw the news that Xiao Ran had calmly directed the team to take Ye Boxiong to the hospital. Looking at the comments below, almost every one was full of flattery and praise for Xiao Ran, calling her "the most outstanding woman in the world".
"This woman is rotten to the core, yet she calls herself the most outstanding woman?"
"If she hadn't gone on a date with that young master Ye, would the head of the Ye family have suddenly fallen into a coma?"
"This woman must be up to no good, deliberately offending her father-in-law in an attempt to drive him to his death!"
Gao Xiao'e muttered to herself, glaring and cursing at Xiao Ran as she spoke.
"Honey, what are you muttering about?"
Zhou Renjie, who had been busy all along, finally finished his work and was just about to relax when he heard Gao Xiao'e's grumbling.
"Honey, did I accidentally disturb you? You keep working, and when you're done, we'll have a nice meal, and I'll give you a massage to help you relax!"
Gao Xiao'e quickly said apologetically.
She knew Zhou Renjie was a workaholic who hated being disturbed, so even when she was in the office, she always sat quietly to the side and never caused any trouble.
I was so angry with Xiao Ran that I couldn't help but mutter a few words, but I didn't expect Zhou Renjie to hear it.
"Honey, I'm done with work today! Come here and treat me to a treat!"
Zhou Renjie waved his hand and leaned back on the large sofa, looking like he was about to enjoy himself.
Are you really done with your work?
Upon hearing this, Gao Xiao'e was overjoyed and immediately ran over to massage Zhou Renjie's shoulders with both hands.
"Having a wife is great!"
Zhou Renjie enjoyed the massage while sighing with happiness.
Although Gao Xiao'e is usually a bit loud and carefree, she is genuinely good to him, wholeheartedly so. Now, in Gao Xiao'e's eyes, there is only Zhou Renjie.
"Of course! Don't you know who I, Gao Xiao'e, am? How could that Xiao Ran compare to me?"
Gao Xiao'e said proudly, and casually mentioned Xiao Ran.
