"Landlord? What landlord?" Jiang Ziyu looked bewildered.
Seeing her acting so genuinely, Di Mingjue continued, "I was just painting with Qianqian, and she told me. Those two little boys at night are the landlord's children from downstairs, and the landlord happens to be a man about my age."
Savoring her words, Jiang Ziyu understood.
It wasn't about any discovery; he was simply petty and thought she had an unspeakable relationship with the landlord.
Smiling coldly in her heart, since he was foolish enough to let his imagination run wild, she would make him truly nervous.
Placing her chopsticks on the plate, Jiang Ziyu said with a smile, "Yes, he's the CEO of zy Group, and he just returned from abroad."
Di Mingjue was no stranger to zy Group. This company, after its reentry from abroad for less than three months, had not yet stabilized its footing, yet some of its projects could already rival Di Ming Group.
"Oh? If it's convenient, invite him over next time. We can have a meal together," Di Mingjue suggested after some thought.
Words could be false, but observation was true.
What kind of relationship they had, and whether they had done anything improper, could be seen at a glance.
Just as Di Mingjue was contemplating how to investigate, Jiang Ziyu's words were like a splash of cold water.
"That might be difficult. Mr. Mu usually doesn't come home, and his two children are taken care of by a nanny," Jiang Ziyu said, patting her head with a sigh. "However, if you really want to meet him, I can try to help you get in touch."
Rarely met?
Di Mingjue suddenly shook his head and refused, "No need, I don't have time to see him either."
Di Jue Group was very busy recently, and he was only snatching a moment of leisure to be here.
However, not meeting now didn't mean not meeting in the future. It wouldn't be too late to meet him after the cooperation projects between Wu Corporation and Di Jue Group were completed normally.
With some of his doubts cleared, the meal tasted much better. After Di Mingjue ate two large bowls of rice, he sent Shen Lin to pick him up to return to the company.
As soon as he left, Jiang Ziyu contacted Mu Liangchen. After briefly telling him about what happened tonight, she warned him to be prepared in advance, fearing that Di Mingjue might send people to investigate his information.
Similarly, Jiang Ziyu also inquired about Qianqian. The child, in order to foster her relationship with Di Mingjue, had not told her the whole truth.
...
Jiang Residence.
After Jiang Feifei met with Di Ruihe, her gloom vanished, and she returned home with large shopping bags.
During this period, everyone in the family was living comfortably, and their once gloomy lives had returned to vibrancy.
"Did you meet with the young CEO Di again today?" Xu Jingya took the shopping bags from her and immediately peeled an orange, placing it in her hand.
Jiang Feifei glanced upstairs and asked, "Where's my father?"
"He went out." Xu Jingya recalled, "I think it was for some charity event he was invited to."
"Xin Rong Charity?"
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Seeing Xu Jingya confirm, Jiang Feifei remembered that this charity event was hosted by Di Jue Group. It had been seven or eight years since it first started, and every year around this time, Di Mingjue would organize one to provide subsidies for children who couldn't afford to go to university.
"My father is really something, why didn't he invite me along?" Jiang Feifei hurried upstairs.
Xu Jingya didn't understand and chased after her, asking, "Are you going to attend the banquet? But there's only one invitation, and your father has already gone. You can't get in even if you want to."
She had wanted to go too, but the banquet did not allow female companions, which was why she stayed home.
"I have my ways to walk in there properly." Jiang Feifei closed the door and began to get ready inside.
She already had makeup on, and everything was normal. She just needed to choose a suitable evening gown.
