Chapter 388 Zhen Zhen Reveals the Truth
Zhen Zhen drove home.
Upon entering the courtyard, I discovered an unfamiliar car parked inside.
She recognized Brother Qiang's car, but whose car was this?
She entered the entryway with a sense of unease.
Qiang Ge and Dou Dou were both in the living room, along with the young boss who was on the phone.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Biao. I've already made arrangements with the construction site. Your convoy can go directly there and start working right away."
The guy across from me, Brother Biao, was living a comfortable life, and his voice was full of laughter.
"Young Master Ji, you're too kind. I should be thanking you, Young Master Ji. You always think of your brother when there are good things to do."
Both felt they had received help from the other and were very polite.
When Ji Yubai saw Zhen Zhen come in, he exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up the phone.
The smile on his face vanished instantly, and he stared at Zhen Zhen with a very serious expression.
Zhen Zhen chuckled, "Little boss, you've really mastered the art of changing your expression."
As she spoke, she discreetly placed the medicine and diagnosis certificate into the shoe cabinet drawer.
Her little tricks couldn't escape Ji Yubai's eyes.
Zhen Zhen saw that Da Dou and Qiang Ge had their heads down, looking like they had done something wrong.
She knew that today's events had alarmed the small business owner, and it wouldn't be so easy to get away with it.
"What's going on here? Why is the young boss in my house?"
Qiang gave her a meaningful look: "Darling, stop talking."
Ji Yubai didn't have time to argue with them here; he was furious at Zhen Zhen's almost self-destructive behavior.
"Zhen Zhen, you went from an unknown extra to the leading lady today. Have you forgotten how arduous the journey was?"
Zhen Zhen's last shred of hope was completely shattered when the small business owner said those words.
How could she forget?
How could I forget!
Several degrees of icy water, frostbitten fingers, countless minor injuries, and untold grievances.
"I haven't forgotten." Zhen Zhen's voice suddenly choked up for some reason. "It's precisely because I haven't forgotten that I can't let them ruin me!"
"So, have you resolved it?" Ji Yubai's indifferent gaze fell on her face.
The handprint was far too obvious.
For a moment, Zhen Zhen felt a deathly silence, an invisible sense of oppression.
Today's small business owner is completely different from the small business owner she remembers and understands.
He could easily see through her disguise.
Is it resolved?
The answer is obvious.
If it weren't for Gao Qi's appearance, let alone dealing with Liang Chao, it would be uncertain whether she could even get home so quickly.
Not only was the problem not resolved, but she also dragged Gao Qi down and owed him a huge favor.
Zhen Zhen answered truthfully, "No."
The huge villa fell into a deathly silence once again, as if no one existed.
The wind blew in through the window, stirring the air and causing the curtains to sway.
DouDou and QiangGe buried their faces even lower.
Even the usually eloquent and quick-witted Zhen Zhen, who is adept at defusing crises, couldn't utter a single appropriate word to ease the tension.
I don't know how many seconds passed, but a loud "bang" broke the silence of the living room.
Ji Yubai tossed his phone onto the coffee table, his tone softening slightly.
"Zhen Zhen, let's talk."
Even though Zhen Zhen had seen many bloody props, she still broke out in a cold sweat when she saw the photo of the severed finger on Ji Yubai's phone.
The cut surface of the severed finger was clean, showing that the person who did it had decided on this finger without any hesitation.
As for the owner of the severed finger, she knew very well that it was Liang Chao.
Liang Chao has a crescent-shaped scar on her left little finger, which she injured with a sickle she used to cut pig feed.
It was just a cut on the skin, and it bled.
But because of this scar, she was severely beaten by Wang Ying and her uncle.
But because of this beating, she got the chance to leave.
Therefore, she remembers that severed finger and the scar on it very clearly.
Those are Liang Chao's scars, her glory.
"Isn't he in the hospital?" Zhen Zhen asked, puzzled.
Things had reached the point of bloodshed and had to be resolved; Ji Yubai didn't hide it from her.
“The house he was living in was rented by someone I found. During this time, Brother Qiang has been reporting all your whereabouts to me. He has also been followed by someone. After you knocked him unconscious at the hospital, someone took him away.”
you!
The small business owner wasn't lying to her; someone was indeed following her.
As for what she took Liang Chao away for, the young boss didn't need to say it explicitly; she already knew the outcome.
Zhen Zhen never expected that the usually unreliable small business owner could be so meticulous and thorough when it came to doing things.
The young boss's wife is a lawyer, and the young boss actually dared to cut off someone's finger.
The ruthless small business owner suddenly became a stranger.
Or perhaps, this is the true nature of a small business owner.
The impression he gives to the public is nothing but pretense, just like hers.
Zhen Zhen looked at Ji Yubai across from her with a curious expression.
Ji Yubai knew what she was thinking, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
He needs to finish this quickly so he can go back and be with Lingxi.
"Stop overthinking and tell me what's going on. Things need to be resolved."
Zhen Zhen is a smart woman. She understands very well that when the young boss showed her the severed finger and told her that someone was always following Liang Chao, he was practicing the corporate culture of Xinglifang, where everyone is like family.
If your family members are bullied, you should fight back fiercely.
Breaking Liang Chao's finger was the young boss's retaliation as the parent of Xinglifang.
She is someone who needs protection, so naturally she should tell her parents everything.
When DouDou saw that Zhen Zhen was about to talk about her aunt's family, she started shaking her leg and picking at her fingers, which showed that she was getting scared and nervous again.
She was very perceptive and brought Zhenzhen a glass of warm water, and also refilled the boss's glass with warm water.
Zhen Zhen looked at the water in the clear glass in front of her and calmly told Da Dou, "I want liquor, Erguotou."
Zhen Zhen only drinks high-proof Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) when she is under a lot of pressure and can't sleep.
Since meeting the young proprietress and Mrs. Fu and a few other friends, she has never drunk Erguotou.
Zhen Zhen once said that when she was an extra, she would drink Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) to warm up when it was too cold at night.
Soybean always remembered her words.
Now, Zhenzhen is going to drink in front of the small boss, and Doudou doesn't know whether he should take it or not.
Ji Yubai noticed Da Dou's concerns and parted his thin lips slightly, "Open it for her."
Only then did DouDou dare to reach for the wine and the wine glass.
Zhen Zhen didn't drink Erguotou from the glass; instead, she picked up the bottle and took a sip.
A burning sensation came from my throat, and that heat spread from my throat to my stomach, making my heart feel warm as well.
“I’ve lived at my uncle’s house since I can remember. When I was nine, Liang Chao molested me for the first time. I told my aunt, uncle, and cousin. They said I was a slut and had a horny disease. No one could help me, so I stayed far away from Liang Chao. Luckily, he was studying in the county town and only came back during holidays.”
