Obviously, Jiujiu did not turn him down because she did not have time. Instead, she turned him down because she had scruples.
If she had turned him down because she did not have time, Zhou Jinnian could still accept it. However, if she had scruples, Zhou Jinnian could only think of Wu Xinni as the reason.
Zhou Jinnian's eyes instantly darkened, as if a storm was brewing.
After a long time, Zhou Jinnian moved his lips and said, "In that case, let's make an appointment next time."
Seeing Zhou Jinnian's expression, Jiujiu knew that Zhou Jinnian, who was smart, had guessed something. She glanced at Zhou Jinnian guiltily and avoided his gaze. She looked very guilty.
Seeing Jiujiu's guilty face, Zhou Jinnian's anger disappeared instantly. She looked like she had been wronged but could not say it out loud.
Zhou Jinnian had met Jiujiu a few times. Naturally, he knew that Jiujiu was not a frivolous woman. She was very polite to people and would always keep an appropriate distance from married men. She treated him like a friend and a big brother. She was not as flirtatious as Wu Xinni thought.
Thinking that Jiujiu was suspected by Wu Xinni because of him, Zhou Jinnian felt guilty and could not help but say, "I'm sorry."
Hearing Zhou Jinnian's apology, Jiujiu looked at Zhou Jinnian in confusion. She did not seem to understand why Zhou Jinnian was apologizing to her.
Seeing Jiujiu's confused expression, Zhou Jinnian felt even more guilty.
He raised his hand and rubbed Jiujiu's hair. He sighed and turned to leave.
After Zhou Jinnian left the room, Jiujiu burst out laughing.
Since he had just quarreled with Wu Xinni, Zhou Jinnian naturally would not quarrel with her again. However, the relationship between Zhou Jinnian and Wu Xinni could no longer be as close as before. There was a bottomless chasm between the two of them that could not be reconciled.
Zhou Jinnian was young and mature. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would never show it.
However, there was always some intimacy and sensitivity between lovers. Even if Zhou Jinnian treated her as intimately as before, Wu Xinni could still clearly feel that Zhou Jinnian only treated her well on the surface. In fact, their relationship was not as intimate as before.
Zhou Jinnian had even quietly distanced himself from him.
Wu Xinni had long regarded Zhou Jinnian as her possession. Naturally, she did not want Zhou Jinnian to stay away from her.
Naturally, Wu Xinni didn't think that it was Zhou Jinnian's fault. She directly put all the blame on Jiujiu, especially when she saw Jiujiu's latest post on her WeChat Moments. She was holding a snow-white Samoyed and holding a beautiful Ragdoll cat. Her eyes flickered, and she instantly had an idea.
Wu Xinni took the initiative to send a message to Jiujiu: [Do you still remember me? I am Wu Xinni.]
This message was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reply for five or six hours. It was not until late at night that Jiujiu replied to Wu Xinni's message.
[Sorry, I was busy just now. I just saw the message.]
[I remember you. You are Brother Zhou's wife.]
When she saw Jiujiu's first explanation, Wu Xinni's dissatisfaction from waiting for Jiujiu was instantly relieved. When she saw Brother Zhou in the second sentence, she was instantly displeased.
The two of them were neither relatives nor friends. They had only worked together on a project. How could she call Zhou Jinnian Brother Zhou?
Sure enough, a vixen would not let go of any opportunity to seduce a man.
When she thought of how Zhou Jinnian had been seduced by her and distanced himself from her recently, Wu Xinni's eyes almost spat fire when she looked at the chat. After a while, she replied hypocritically: [Can you come out for tea tomorrow?]
Obviously, she was the one who asked Zhou Jinnian out for tea. However, Wu Xinni gave off a strong sense of dominance.
When Jiujiu saw this line of words, she could almost imagine the expression on Wu Xinni's face when she sent this message.
Tapping her fingers on the screen, Jiujiu replied: [Sorry, I won't be free for the next few days.]
In Wu Xinni's opinion, she had already given Jiujiu face by taking the initiative to chat with Jiujiu and ask her out for tea. How dare she refuse? Wu Xinni's face instantly darkened. However, when she thought of her own scheme, Wu Xinni could only suppress her dissatisfaction and continue to send the message: [When will you be free?]
[I'm not sure yet. I'll give you a specific answer tomorrow. It's getting late. You're not feeling well. Go to bed early. Good night.]
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she unilaterally ended the chat.
She was the one who initiated the chat first. She should have the home advantage. However, in the end, she was always at a disadvantage. Wu Xinni's face darkened.
The next day, Jiujiu sent her recent schedule to Wu Xinni.
[I'll be free in the afternoon in five days. Sister Wu, if you don't mind, we can set it at that time. However, I have a meeting in the evening. I may have to leave early. Is that okay?]
There were only two hours in the afternoon. Rather than drinking tea, it was more appropriate to say that she wanted to sit down.
However, when she saw Jiujiu's packed schedule, Wu Xinni's words were stuck in her throat. She couldn't spit out a single word.
This was because Jiujiu wasn't pretending to be busy. She was really busy.
After all, it would be a problem if she wasn't busy to maintain the normal operations of such a large company.
She thought about how she was still relying on her family's protection even though she was already so old. On the other hand, Huo Jinyao was about the same age as her. She was now the CEO of a large company and even participated in official cooperation.
Wu Xinni felt that Jiujiu was trying to slap her in the face by sending her the schedule.
However, when she thought about her own plan, Wu Xinni could only swallow her anger and pretend not to know. She replied: [Then let's set it that afternoon. I'll go to your company to look for you. Is that okay?]
[Sure.]
After Jiujiu replied, she didn't continue chatting with Wu Xinni.
Wu Xinni had achieved her goal. Naturally, she wasn't in the mood to continue being attacked by Jiujiu.
After the two of them agreed on the time, Wu Xinni began to prepare for the meeting that day.
When women met, there were nothing more than a few things to compete with each other. Although Wu Xinni wasn't in the entertainment circle, she was particularly meticulous about dressing up.
Especially when she thought of Jiujiu's delicate and beautiful face, she wanted to compare herself with Jiujiu.
The more Wu Xinni thought about it, the more she was afraid that she would be overshadowed by Jiujiu. So, she simply called her former styling team and asked them to style her. As for the clothes, she chose a few high-end clothes that hadn't been sold yet from the most famous international brands.
Because there was a professional styling team, both the makeup and the clothes were very suitable for Wu Xinni.
Wu Xinni's original appearance was very beautiful under the makeup of the makeup artist. In particular, a few rhinestones were stuck under her eyelids. Under the light, they emitted a bright light, like the tears of a goddess. She was amazingly beautiful.
Wu Xinni was very satisfied with her outfit today. She was confident that she would be able to overshadow Jiujiu today. So, she generously gave each of the styling team a big red packet and happily went to the appointment by car.
