The people around them and Yao Dafu were dumbfounded. How could you be so indifferent when the mayor was talking to a Poinsettia?
Secretary Hou immediately greeted him with a smile. "Mr Zhuo, of course you don't know me. I'm Mayor Jiang's secretary. My name is Hou Shengqiu."
"Mayor Jiang, Hou Shengqiu?" Zhuo Bufan nodded slightly. Jiang Beiya was there when she went to the Long family to treat the old man. He must have sent someone to investigate her after that.
"Mr Zhuo, let me toast you." Hou Shengqiu bent over and picked up a glass of wine, gulping it down.
Zhuo Bufan nodded with a proud expression. Her lips touched the wine glass lightly, but she didn't even take a sip. "Alright, you can leave now."
It was as if she was dismissing a servant who was purposely trying to curry favor. Mou Yuexing and Song Yali felt that their brains couldn't work.
"I'll leave now." Hou Shengqiu took half a step back before straightening his body. He looked at Yao Dafu, who was already in a daze, and regained the aura of a high position. He said indifferently, "CEO Yao, I'll leave first. Enjoy yourself."
As a special position of the mayor's secretary, it was a basic skill for him to observe people's words and expressions, as well as to observe the subtle details. Last time, when Mayor Jiang came back from the teacher's place, he ordered him to investigate Zhuo Bufan's information. From the mayor's words, he analyzed that this person's status was not low. Otherwise, how could the mayor pay so much attention to him? So he remembered Zhuo Bufan's school photo in his mind, so he recognized Zhuo Bufan as soon as they met.
The private room was silent. If Yao Dafu, Mou Yuexing, and Song Yali saw a crack on the ground, they would probably crawl into it to avoid embarrassing themselves.
Was this still the good-for-nothing guy everyone was talking about? Didn't they say that Ye Ziqin married a good-for-nothing? Now, not only did he have a VIP card of Tang Glory, but even the mayor's secretary had to bow to him!
Ye Ziqin looked at Zhuo Bufan meaningfully. She bit her lower lip and remained silent.
The reunion was getting more and more boring. In the past, it was meant to keep up with old classmates. Now, it had become a gathering to show off. Halfway through the reunion, Ye Ziqin left the room with Zhi Men. Naturally, Zhuo Bufan followed them.
After the two of them left, Mou Yuexing and Song Yali sat together with ashen faces. It was obvious that they had suffered a huge blow.
"Where do you think Zhuo Bufan got the power to make Secretary Hou give him a toast?" Mou Yuexing said angrily.
Song Yali frowned and said, "Could it be that Secretary Hou knows that he's the young master of the Zhuo family? But the Zhuo family has already chased him out. He's just an abandoned young master, he's useless."
"Or maybe Secretary Hou doesn't know about this and gave him face because of the Zhuo family." Mou Yuexing's face finally brightened and a ruthless look flashed in her eyes. "I heard that the person from the Wang family is coming back. If he knows that Ye Ziqin and Zhuo Bufan are married, he definitely won't let Zhuo Bufan off."
Hearing her words, Song Yali suddenly thought of something. She said in surprise, "You mean Wang Kulv? I heard that he went abroad to study. In the past, he painstakingly pursued Ye Ziqin, but because of the Zhuo family, he couldn't do anything about it. Now that he knows that Zhuo Bufan and Ye Ziqin are married and that Zhuo Bufan has been chased out of the Zhuo family, Zhuo Bufan will suffer."
… …
The night wind felt cool against her body. Zhuo Bufan took out a pack of cigarettes and lit a cigarette. She took a deep puff and raised her head to gaze at the starry night sky. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Ye Ziqin went to the underground parking lot to start his car. Chen Min suddenly walked to his side and called out, "Zhuo Bufan, I have something to say to you."
"Oh, what is it?" Zhuo Bufan looked at him and calmly asked.
Chen Min was Ye Ziqin's best friend. In her previous life, she had encountered many hardships. He still remembered that Chen Min's family ran a dojo. Her father was seriously injured and died after three years. She, a girl, had to shoulder the enormous pressure to run the dojo. In the end, she went bankrupt and was beaten into a cripple. She had to take sleeping pills to commit suicide.
Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh. After all, Chen Min was Ye Ziqin's friend. Moreover, she had a kind nature. Before she could enjoy the best moments of her life, she had met with so many hardships that she passed away.
At that time, Zhuo Bufan thought that she was in the same boat as him. He smiled bitterly. Perhaps in this life, he could help Chen Min change her fate.
"What's the matter?" Zhuo Bufan looked at her and asked.
Chen Min took a deep breath and looked at him seriously. To be honest, when Chen Min and Ye Ziqin were together, she wasn't that stunning. But on her own, Chen Min was also a great beauty. Her figure was also very tall and charming.
"I don't know why you have the Supreme VIP card of Tang Dynasty, and why Secretary Hou toasted you. But I know that you and Ye Zi are together because of family pressure. She doesn't like you at all." Chen Min gritted her teeth and said seriously.
Zhuo Bufan blew out a ring of smoke. "So what? You want me to leave Ye Ziqin and give her freedom and happiness?"
"This kind of marriage is unfair to both of you. Don't you understand?" Chen Min said with a frown.
Zhuo Bufan nodded. "I did hurt Ye Zi and disappointed her. But now, I'm different. I can make her a princess that tens of thousands of people respect, envy, and even fear. But let's leave it to fate. I …"
"Zhuo Bufan …" Suddenly, an angry voice sounded. It was Ye Ziqin driving out. The ivory white paint shone like a diamond under the light.
Zhuo Bufan looked at Ye Ziqin and then looked at Chen Min. His lips curled into a bitter smile.
He opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat without a word. He waited for Ye Ziqin and Chen Min to say a few more words before driving away. Chen Min stood in the dark and looked at Zhuo Bufan in the car. She murmured to herself, "Did I say something too serious just now?"
Back home, Ye Ziqin changed out of her high heels and walked into the room. She sat in front of the dressing table and opened the first drawer. A golden key lay quietly inside. The key was engraved with a vivid and beautiful phoenix.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Ziqin grabbed the key and went out of the door.
Jingdu Garden Villa was originally built with Shaohua Lake as the center. The villa complex was built in the east, west, north, and south. Among them, the villa in the south was the most expensive. In addition, there were ten villas built on the mountainside. The location there was unique. Not only could it be bought with money, but the people who could live in that kind of villa were all nobles and rich people.
Unknowingly, Ye Ziqin arrived at the door of a three-story villa with the key. The iron railings and walls outside the villa were covered with wisteria, which looked enchanting and gorgeous under the light. The swimming pool, the flower garden, the rockery, the pond, and the waterside pavilion were all well-maintained. Under the light, the whole villa could be seen clearly.
Usually, there were security guards arranged by the property to patrol here at night. Maybe it was time to change shifts, so the villa was quiet around.
