Chapter 493: Reciprocity is Proper
amount of rice on their table. This kind of treatment was common before the apocalypse, but now it could be considered high-class hospitality.Wu Lianyi had her own space and was not someone who would...Zhou Ziju is hospitalized due to injuries sustained at the renaming ceremony of Yunyi Group. He has not returned to Zhou's house yet. Zhang Hui has once again regained the feeling of being the mistress of Zhou's family and wishes that Zhou Ziju would stay in the hospital and not come back. There is a tinge of regret in her heart. Zhou Ziju only broke two ribs, how come he wasn't killed
Therefore, Zhang Hui also recovered her usual routine. On a crisp autumn day, while she was enjoying afternoon tea in the backyard garden, a bodyguard rushed past and whispered to her:
"Madam, Miss Yun Yi is here to visit you."
"Visit me Shouldn't she be seeing Zhou Zi Jue"
Akane was a little confused, her eyelids twitched, and she immediately put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand, ready to call Zhou Zijue.
"Madam, as your subordinates have clearly stated, I am here to visit you. It seems from your expression that you are not pleased with my arrival!"
The sound of ripples came lazily.
Akari unconsciously stood up from beside the table, watching Yume walk toward her.
Today, Lianyi wore a new Hanfu style of indigo blue buttoned tunic on her upper body, with a pair of ivory wide-leg trousers on the bottom and flat shoes on her feet. Her black hair was coiled up at the back of her head, adorned with a jade hairpin. Two bodyguards followed behind her, while two others lagged two steps behind, blocking Zhou's family bodyguards.
"General Yunyun, how did you get here"
Zhang Hui stammered and said with a strained smile.
"I said I was here to visit the mistress."
Ripple didn't wait for Chapter to invite her, she simply sat down on the rattan chair beside him, smiling.
"Mr. Yun, although I hold the title of Mrs. Zhou, everyone knows that Zhou Ziju controls the Zhou family. I have no say in anything, and I'm clueless about the family business. I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you."
Akane watched as Renri sat down, then she slowly followed suit, immediately distancing herself, not wanting to become the target.
“I know about this. Young Master Zhou is very capable indeed. Your husband got into such a big mess, it was Young Master Zhou who saved the day. I admire him for that.”
The ripples continued to smile.
Chapter had clenched the armrest of the rattan chair so tightly that her knuckles were white. She wished she could swallow the woman in front of her whole; it was this woman who had schemed and gotten the leaders of the Single, Jian, and Zhou families thrown into prison. Now she had the audacity to come before Chapter and speak condescendingly.
"As the General said, Zi Jue is very outstanding."
"But I'm here for the madam, I prepared a gift for you, hope you like it."
After Lian Yi finished speaking, she waved her hand. Gong Fan behind her stepped forward with a box and directly swept the tea set on the table to the ground, placing the box in front of Zhang Hui.
The sound of the teacup shattering was very clear, and it startled Zhang Hui, who was already on edge. She instinctively wanted to stand up, but Lian Yanying quickly pressed her back down into her chair and reproached Gong Fan in a perfunctory manner:
"How could you be so careless!"
"I'll be more careful next time."
After putting down her things, Gong Fan stood behind Lian Yi again, not even giving Zhang Hui a glance.
"Madam, please have a look."
Ripple smiled and said.
Aki peeked inside, her throat tightening. She finally raised her hand and opened the box. Inside lay a tube of lipstick. Her eyelids twitched even harder, her face changing in an instant. Just as she was about to speak, Ripples interrupted her.
"My stylist recommended it, saying it's the most popular shade of plum red right now and that it suits my complexion. She also said that it was the madam who asked her to bring it to me."
"No, no it's not"
Akane immediately denied it.
Ripple didn't say much, she picked up the lipstick from the box and directly choked the opponent's neck before carefully applying it to their lips.
"Madam, don't move. If it gets smudged, it won't look good. This color suits you very well!"
Akane wanted to cry but couldn't. Others didn't know what was inside this lipstick, she did. What she hadn't expected was that things would be exposed, and the other party had come directly to her instead of Zhou Zijue. She had originally thought she could blame Zhou Zijue.
At this time, ripples had loosened their grip on the other person, flinging them back into their chair. After staring at them for a moment, she spoke:
"That's very pretty! I hope you wear this color every day."
"Cloud Boss, I was forced to do it. It was Zhou Zixue."
Zhang Hui caught her breath and immediately blamed others.
"What did I make you do"
Zhou Zi Jue's gloomy voice came from behind her, causing Zhang Hui to swallow the rest of her words. However, she still immediately picked up a napkin from the table and wiped her lips frantically.
The ripples didn't even bother to stand up and said with a smile:
"How is Mr. Zhou doing now that he's out of the hospital"
Zhou Ziju said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes:
"Thanks to Sister Tuo Yun, I'm much better now. Hearing that you came to visit, I hurried back to welcome you."
Zhou Zijue's upper body was still a bit stiff, but the moment he got the news, he rushed back to the Zhou family villa. There was no reason for everyone else to come knocking on the door while he was hiding in the hospital.
It's nothing major, just a reciprocal courtesy, giving Lady Zhang a gift in return.
After finishing, Lian Ri stood up and her eyes swept across Zhang Hui's face. She said in a flat tone:
Don't meddle in things that are beyond your reach. Today, I'm sparing you because of Zhou Zijue, but next time, I'll break your neck directly.
Chapter's face was a little pale. She touched her neck, the feeling of suffocation she just experienced seemed to be coming back again.
Zhou Ziju's brows were furrowed tightly, temporarily unaware of what had happened.
"Mr. Zhou, given Mrs. Zhang's actions, I have decided to increase our profit sharing after the collaboration to 30%. Please feel free to contact me if you've considered it."
After throwing out that sentence, he left with his bodyguard.
While Akiko was directly petrified in the wicker chair, the bodyguard who had reported to her earlier came to Zhou Ziju's side and explained what had happened.
Zhou Zi Jue held the lipstick in his hand, coldly asking Zhang Hui:
"What have you done"
"I did this to get revenge on Hongyu. I had someone tamper with her lipstick. What's inside will turn her into a cripple. I did all of this for the Zhou family, for Hongyu."
Zhang Hui immediately explained.
Zhou Zi Jue's already pale face turned even worse. He waved his hand, and his bodyguard immediately covered Zhang Hui's mouth and dragged her away. What awaited her wouldn't be anything good.
"Idiot! If you're going to do something, don't get caught. Now I have to pay for her stupid actions, it's infuriating!"
Zhou Zi Jue said with a sinister expression.
The ripples on the other side returned directly to the Yunge Group, and the public relations manager had been waiting for a while.
"Mr. Yun, after the press conference, Yun Yi's reputation has stabilized for the time being. Because the group promised to pay all medical expenses and lost wages for the injured guests, and also sent thoughtful gifts to the frightened guests, they all said they would not pursue the matter. For now, there are no negative rumors circulating."
"Okay, you've worked hard! From now on, pay close attention to the online trends and don't let the group fall into a passive position."
"Okay, Yun,"
After the PR manager left, Lian Yi received a call from Wan Liang.expect the later generations to have gone astray, and he had to live in such pain.“Yes. In fact, the old man knew he was near death and had already made a will, not wanting to be resuscitated. But Chu...
