Chapter 51: Viscera

If you treated me half as well as you treat her, I would be content..."Her voice was hoarse, her eyes red. She sounded humble and pitiful, like a beggar in love.Zhou Li remained unmoved, "The play is..."Yeah, I just chatted with her in the basement and saw it by chance." Zhan Yubai said, "I thought before that Yanqing suddenly became interested in company affairs, maybe she was stimulated by this incident."

Zhou Li chuckled, a sneer in his voice. Zhan Yu Bai couldn't quite decipher the meaning behind his laughter.

On August 19th, Jiang Mingzhu's brief profile clearly stated that today was her birthday.

Why did Zhan Yanqing call Jiang Mingzhu

Zhou Li took out his phone and sent Liang Cong a WeChat message.

In the morning, Zhou Li had a meeting to attend and didn't have time to deal with Zhan Yu Bai. Zhan Yu Bai was afraid of disturbing Zhou Li, so he left Wanhua before the meeting began.

The minutes of the meeting were again prepared by Ginger Mingzhu.

During her time in Wanhua, she hardly did any real work. She was called an assistant, but she was more like a meeting minutes recorder.

After diligently taking notes for two hours, Ginger Mingzhu's brain felt like mush. Back at her desk, she couldn't stop yawning.

Jiang Mingzhu finished taking meeting minutes while drinking coffee, and then emailed them, habitually cc'ing Zhou Li.

When an email reminder popped up, Zhou Li was listening to Liang Cong's report.

"Mr. Zhan did indeed go to the counter two days ago to pre-order a watch, and it was scheduled for delivery today. The address matches his villa."

Zhou Li let out a cold snort.

Liang Cong was given goosebumps by the laughter. Every time Zhou Li laughed like that, someone would be in trouble.

Zhou Li: "Wait in the carriage with a ginger pearl."

Liang Cong was at a loss, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He hurried to the secretary's office to find Jiang Mingzhu.

Jiang Mingzhu also couldn't figure it out, "What did Zhou Zong want me to do in the basement"

"I don't know either."

Jiang Mingzhu frowned, what's wrong with this dog again

Jiang Mingzhu packed her bag and, before leaving, Liang Cong couldn't help but remind her, "Zhou is in a bad mood, be careful yourself."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Thank you."

Zhou Li's license plate was too easy to recognize, a string of "1", and with a dedicated parking space, Jiang Mingzhu found it very quickly.

The car window rolled down, and Ginger Mingzhu saw Zhou Li's sinister face.

The man's thin lips moved slightly, and he commanded coldly, "Get in the car."

Jiang Mingzhu went around to the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt, asking him, "You were so eager to get me down here, what's up"

Zhou Li didn't answer, her jet-black eyes stared straight at her, with an intense aggression in them, as if she wanted to strip her bare with her gaze.

Ginger Mingzhu giggled coquettishly, poking his arm with her soft fingers and teasing, "Brother wouldn't be here to get a car shake, would you After just a few days apart, you miss me this much already Oof…"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhou Li suddenly grabbed her wrist and twisted it with force. While the strength wasn't as great as when he had broken it before, it still hurt Ginger Mingzhu terribly. Tears welled up in her eyes instinctively.

Zhou Li: "Don't touch me with your dirty hands."

Ginger Mingzhu: "..." Crazy bastard, she hadn't even complained about him touching James Yu Bai's hand yet.

Jiang Mingzhu didn't understand the situation, Zhou Li had already stepped on the gas pedal.

The car drove out of the underground garage in Wanhua, leaving the city center and heading towards the suburbs.

Fewer and fewer cars were on the road, Zhou Li's speed increased, almost as if he was drifting.

Ginger Mingzhu was dizzy from being spun around, "Slow down."

Zhou Li seemed to be deliberately against her, speeding up.

Jiang Mingzhu's body was thrown forward and backward until Zhou Li slammed on the brakes. She still felt like she was drifting.

It was unclear when Zhou Li got out of the car. Jiang Mingzhu hadn't recovered yet, when suddenly the car door beside her opened.

Zhou Li unbuckled her seatbelt and roughly grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the car.

Ginger Mingzhu endured the nausea and looked around, discovering this seemed to be a private estate. The courtyard was planted with flowers and grass, and there was also a lawn and a swimming pool.

Jiang Mingzhu was dragged into the room by Zhou Li. He pulled her all the way to the dressing room.

Jiang Mingzhu was pushed against the wall by Zhou Li, her chest pressed against the mirror. As she looked up, she saw Zhou Li in the mirror behind her.

His face was tense, his eyes blazing with anger, and a cold aura emanated from him.

"Where have I offended you"

"Zhou Li: 'Why did Zhan Yanqing suddenly return to Fenghe' "

His hand came around from behind her neck, his knuckles pressing against her throat. His icy fingers rested on her carotid artery, as if ready to sever it at any moment.

Ginger Mingzhu: "Peak Harmony belongs to the Zhan family. What problem would he have going back"

Zhou Li's grip on the jade pendant tightened. "If I die here, will anyone collect my body"

Ginger Mingzhu was short of breath and her face flushed red. "James Yenqing and I have already broken up. Why are you looking for me to vent your anger on your fiancée"

"Break up" Zhou Li sneered, "Such a breakup."

"You broke up, and he even ordered you a birthday present a few days in advance Your ex-relationship is doing pretty well, huh" Zhou Li's tone was dripping with sarcasm.

As soon as he said that, Ginger Mingzhu finally understood why he had gone mad.

"I don't know he gave me a gift, I didn't receive it."

This excuse was met with another sneer.

Zhou Li let go of her, bent down to pick up her bag, and took out her phone from inside. He opened her recent call history.

Jan Q. Chen's name was listed prominently.

Zhou Li held up her phone in front of her, "What other excuse are you going to make"

Ginger Mingzhu: "..."

She never dreamed Zhou Li would check her call records. She had just finished a phone call with Jian Yanqing and forgot to delete it.

Ginger Mingzhu scolded angrily in her heart.

She pursed her lips, raised her hand to hug Zhou Li's waist, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhou Li threw his phone to the ground, "Get out of here."

"I didn't." Jiang Mingzhu tightened her grip, explaining to him with a grievance, "It was him who called me, and the gift was from him. I didn't ask for it, you can't blame me for this."

Zhou Li sneered, "You think I'm a fool."

Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't."

"Is there nothing Have you not stirred up trouble between Zhan Yanqing and Zhan Yubai, or have you not instigated Zhan Yanqing and Zhan Yubai to seize power"

He was aggressive, and everything he said sounded like he was lecturing James White on her behalf.

Ginger Mingzhu's eyes became even redder, tears swirling in them. "Did she really say that"

"Whatever she says, you believe her. Why are you so good to her Do you really love her that much"

"Acting won't work, Jiang Mingzhu." Zhou Li's fingers threaded through her hair, tightening their grip to force her to look up.

His dark eyes fixed on hers, "Answer my question."

"I've told you, I didn't," Jiang Mingzhu said. "He did say to me that when he says so, we'll be together, but I didn't agree. You can ask him yourself if you don't believe me."

Zhou Li's lips pursed into a thin line, saying nothing.

Jiang Mingzhu took a deep breath, "I don't even know what day I was born. August 19th is the day I was sent to the orphanage by a passerby. I don't even know what day I was born."

"I talked to him about this, and he said he would give me a gift on August 19th. I didn't ask for it." instructed, "Take him back and have him reflect in seclusion."Jiang Mingzhu heard the sound of an ambulance in the lounge and saw Zhan Danyun being carried away through the window.This event is messe...
