Jiang Ziyu stroked Qianqian’s back, offering her a sense of security.
Back at the company, Di Ruihe followed her into the elevator. The enclosed space was very quiet. After staring at Qianqian for a long time, he suddenly broke the silence, “Cousin-in-law, I just remembered I know a doctor who is very skilled in treating throat conditions. Aren’t you treating Qianqian? How about I recommend the doctor I know?”
Recommend a doctor?
Di Mingjue looked up at Jiang Ziyu, his gloomy gaze seeming to question why Di Ruihe would know about her going to the hospital.
Glancing back, Jiang Ziyu replied to Di Ruihe, “Sure, when can I see this doctor?”
“I’ll contact them and let you know once a time is arranged.” Di Ruihe eagerly made contact.
Jiang Ziyu nodded in agreement, just as the elevator reached its floor.
“Then let’s exchange WeChat to stay in touch,” Di Ruihe quickly stepped in front of Jiang Ziyu, pulling out his phone and showing the page to add a friend.
Add a friend?
Di Mingjue watched with his own eyes as the two phones scanned each other. With a beep, they were now WeChat friends.
Satisfied, Di Ruihe put his phone back in his pocket and watched them leave, glancing at the greeting message from his new contact on the screen.
Returning to the office, Di Mingjue had Shen Lin carry Qianqian to his office while he remained alone with Jiang Ziyu.
Sitting at the desk, Di Mingjue scrutinized her, “Speak. Why are you suddenly in close contact with him?”
At the dining table, he had thought Di Ruihe was the one pestering her and constantly trying to win her over. But in reality, it had been Jiang Ziyu who was luring him in.
“You’ll know later, I can’t say yet.” Jiang Ziyu promised him with a sincere attitude.
Can’t say?
Di Mingjue glanced at her and stated her entire plan word by word, “You suspect he’s the one who harmed Qianqian, and you’re deliberately getting closer to him to make him reveal himself.”
“You?” Jiang Ziyu looked surprised.
She had been so careful with every step; how could he have figured it out?
Di Mingjue took a file bag from the drawer and pointed to it, “Take a look.”
Jiang Ziyu, filled with doubt and curiosity, walked over.
The file bag contained several photos. Eight out of ten were of a short, stout man. Several of them were of Di Ruihe face-to-face with this man.
“This is?” Jiang Ziyu pointed at the photos, tentatively asking, “You suspect he was also responsible for the car accident?”
Di Mingjue raised an eyebrow and leaned back relaxedly in his chair, “Quite clever.”
“…” Jiang Ziyu was speechless.
She had calculated everything, even fearing that Di Mingjue would expose her plan if he found out. She never expected him to have suspected Di Ruihe a step ahead of her and to have found concrete evidence.
Di Mingjue rested his elbows on the desk, cupping his chin with his hands, and looked at Jiang Ziyu with a tender, affectionate gaze, “Stay with me, and I will protect you completely. No one will be able to bully you.”
“Hmph!” Jiang Ziyu retorted with a dismissive glare, “Then why are you cooperating with the Jiang Corporation?”
“Does cooperating with the Jiang Corporation make you unhappy?”
“You’re asking the obvious.”
Di Mingjue got up from his desk and proactively handed her his phone, which was already open.
The screen displayed an unsigned contract clearly stating Jiang Corporation.
Did he cooperate with the Jiang Corporation to take it over? Did he actually know where the Jiang Corporation’s operating funds came from all along?
“Wild guess, you misunderstood me from the start,” Di Mingjue said, his tone sounding slightly aggrieved.
Recalling her cold attitude from a few days ago, Jiang Ziyu felt a pang of discomfort. She touched her neck, feeling utterly embarrassed.
Having experienced too much, she found it difficult to trust anyone. She was afraid of repeating the same mistakes if even the slightest thing went wrong.
