Chapter 10: Investigate Her

Jiang Mingzhu. Her eyes held a hint of warning and disgust.Jiang Mingzhu put on an innocent face, but her actions became even more brazen as she reached towards his thigh with her foot.Zhou Li saw her...Jiang Mingzhu's movements were thus forced to stop.

What's most deadly is that Zhou Li's grip on her ankle was almost as forceful, if not more so, than the day he broke her wrist.

If he just used a little force, her leg would break.

Ginger Mingzhu's heart sank a few points. The provocative gaze disappeared, and she stomped her foot, trying to retract her leg.

He tried his best, but failed. Instead, Jan Yanqing, who was beside him, noticed something was wrong with his face and asked, "Baby, are you feeling unwell"

"Hmm." Jiang Mingzhu glanced at Zhou Li out of the corner of her eye. He acted as if nothing had happened, so she could only figure it out herself.

Jiang Mingzhu covered her stomach, shrinking her body, and whispered, "I think I'm having my period, it hurts so much."

Jian Yanqing only then realized that her complexion wasn't as rosy as before. She quickly decided, "I'll go up with her first, she doesn't feel well."

Then everyone turned to look at Jiang Mingzhu, and Zhan Yubai even spoke with concern, "Mingzhu, are you feeling unwell Do you need to see a doctor"

"It's alright, it's just a period cramp." Jiang Mingzhu said. "I'm sorry to have caused everyone trouble."

Then she asked Chen Yanqing, "Could you help me up"

"I'll carry you up." Seeing how weak she was, Zhan Yanqing couldn't bear to let her walk on her own. He got up and was about to princess carry her.

And just as Zhan Yanqing's hand landed on Jiang Mingzhu's waist, the hand on Jiang Mingzhu's ankle finally loosened.

Jiang Mingzhu was successfully picked up by Zhan Yanqing, and everyone at the table just watched as she was carried away by him.

The woman in the white dress and long hair always evokes a desire to protect her. She seemed shy, burying her head in Jian Yanqing's shoulder, her slender arms gently resting on his shoulder.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "It seems that Yanqing is serious this time. I've never seen him be so gentle with any woman before."

Yàn Xī said, "Ginger Mingzhū is beautiful. Even as a man, I like her."

Yan Xi was seeing Ginger Mingzhu for the second time. She was a total face-controller, liking beautiful people, regardless of gender.

All the people here today are close friends with Chen Yen-ching. We've seen him navigate through all sorts of relationships over the years, and we know his personality best. It's clear that he's serious this time. "I can't imagine Yen-ching wanting to marry her,"

As soon as this topic was brought up, everyone looked to James Yu-Bai. How many of them could actually make their own decisions

Jan spoke in a teasing tone, "I guess you're wondering what we're up to. Yiqing did have plans to bring me home, and we're still working on them."

"She's more than she seems," Xu Sichen pondered, "This Ginger Mingzhu, I have a feeling there's more to her than meets the eye."

Yuan Ye also said, "I agree with Lao Xu. Have you checked her"

How could this be such a coincidence Just back in the country, and she hooked up with Jian Yanqing, not to mention landing a job at Fenghe. Her ambition to climb the ranks is just too obvious!

"Mingzhu's background is pretty clean, she graduated from a prestigious school, and she just turned twenty-four this year. Both her parents work for foreign companies." How could Zhan Yubai not look into Jiang Mingzhu He just didn't find anything suspicious.

Xu Siyan and Yuan Ye still felt that Jiang Mingzhu was being insincere. Yan Xi, however, liked Jiang Mingzhu's looks, and they argued about it.

Lastly, Yan Xi asked Zhou Li, "Brother, what do you think"

Then everyone turned to look at Zhou Li, including Zhan Yu Bai who was sitting beside him. A smile graced her face, but her eyes held a hint of curiosity.

Zhou Li's long fingers rubbed against the wine glass, he said softly, "Si Yan and Yuan Ye's worries are reasonable."

"Yan Xi was greatly disappointed. "A pearl like that, so beautiful, could not possibly have a bad heart!"

"You don't understand, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. What if she's sent by a competitor"

When Zhan Yu Bai heard this, he fell into deep thought, his expression becoming much more serious.

Zhou Li asked her, “What are you thinking about”

Jane spoke: "In New York, could you check on the background of Ginger Mingzhu"

"Do you suspect her"

"One must always be wary of others. Her information seems too perfect, like it was fabricated."

——

Ginger Mingzhu borrowed an excuse from her aunt and didn't go out to play with them in the afternoon. It wasn't until dinner that she was taken down by Jian Yanqing.

We had a barbecue on the lawn behind the villa in the evening. There were many beers laid out on the ground.

In this kind of situation, it's inevitable that a vulgar game like Truth or Dare will appear.

Jiang Mingzhu trailed by a few points in the second round and became a losing player.

"Yuan Ye raised an eyebrow, "Ms. Jiang, truth or dare"

Just by looking at his expression, you know something's up.

Jan Yen-ching immediately stepped forward to defend her, "I'll take her place."

Xu Siyan: "Yanqing, remember to follow the rules of the game."

Ginger Mingzhu vaguely felt that Yuan Ye and Xu Siyan were targeting her. She smiled and said, "I choose the big adventure."

"Then you go and flirt with Yan Qing, three minutes. If he reacts, then you succeed."ore Chen Yen-ching could express his displeasure, Zhou Li countered, "You insist on marrying her, but what about her Has she agreed to be your girlfriend now"When asked, Zhan Yanqing was stunned for a...
