Chapter 269 Warning at the Door
Chapter 269 Warning at the Door
"Yan Zuozuo, if you tell me to leave, I'll leave. Why bother with your sarcastic remarks? I know you have powerful backers, but believe me, once I leave S City, you won't be able to survive in the design industry. There will be a day when you'll be begging me to come back!"
"Is that so? There are plenty of people who don't want me to have a good career in the design industry. I'm afraid I won't even know which one is the real power behind Miss Gu. Alright, since we've already come this far, there's no need for us to continue talking. It's time to leave work, no need to see me out."
Gu Qingxin clenched her fists: "Yan Zuozuo, I know you've always wanted to get rid of me. Fine, I lost this time, I admit defeat! But if anything happens to Miss Yan after I leave, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Miss Gu, are you threatening my wife?" Chi Moqing, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, his deep voice conveying a strong sense of oppression.
Wife? Could this man be Chi Moqing, the rarely seen CEO of the Chi Group?!
Meeting his sharp, hawk-like eyes, a chill involuntarily crept up Gu Qingxin's spine.
Chi Moqing exuded a chilling aura, and the heavy pressure was almost suffocating. He walked to Yan Zuozuo's side, protectively wrapped his arms around her waist, and looked directly at Gu Qingxin.
Gu Qingxin's heart trembled, and her heart beat even faster. This was the man she had always dreamed of, but she never expected that Yan Zuozuo, that bitch, would get him. She was extremely jealous.
"I was just telling the truth," Gu Qingxin shrugged, looking completely innocent.
“Miss Gu should know very well what it means to have trouble come from your words. Based on what you just said, if my wife gets into any trouble or her personal safety is threatened in the future, you will be the prime suspect. I can even take your words as a threat right now and ask the police to handle it.”
"Haha! You think I was scared as a child? Where's the proof?" Gu Qingxin remained unrepentant.
"How do you know I don't have any evidence?" Chi Moqing glanced at her indifferently. Just as Gu Qingxin was about to speak, Chi Moqing took out his phone and waved it. "What a coincidence, Stephen's wife and I were college classmates. I wonder how she would react if she knew about Miss Gu's existence."
Gu Qingxin opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Chi Moqing spoke directly, "I'm here to pick up my wife from get off work. Miss Gu, may you leave now?"
When Gu Qingxin heard Chi Moqing's words, she stiffened. His words were like icicles piercing her heart. She couldn't help but tremble at the thought of Qin Yun's fate.
Stephen's wife spared Qin Yun's face by not blacklisting her in the design industry. Moreover, she once threatened that if she found out that any woman was entangled with Stephen again, she would make her disappear from the design industry completely!
If Stephen's wife finds out about her affair, then what will happen to her in the future...?
Gritting her teeth, Gu Qingxin suppressed her raging anger and said hatefully, "Fine, you win!" With that, she stood up angrily and stomped away in her high heels.
After Gu Qingxin left, Yan Zuozuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "So Stephen likes this kind of woman. He has really heavy tastes. Even a saint would be angered by her. I really want to slap her twice."
Chi Moqing smiled faintly: "Then why don't you make a move?"
Yan Zuozuo looked at him, both amused and exasperated: "I was just thinking about it. You don't happen to like heavy stuff too, do you?"
"As long as it's you, whether it's a light or strong flavor, I like it." Chi Moqing smiled, picked up his phone, quickly sent a text message, and then said, "My dear wife, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment: "Spicy, the spicier the better!"
Chi Moqing smiled indulgently and reached out to pinch her nose. "It's not the weekend yet, you can't do that."
Yan Zuozuo pouted and tugged at his clothes in a coquettish manner, "Honey, I was just upset, shouldn't you treat me? I want to eat something spicy."
Chi Moqing's eyes softened, and a charming smile appeared on his face. "Wife, I know a good vegetarian restaurant. How about we go eat vegetarian food?"
Half an hour later, Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing were already sitting in the vegetarian restaurant. Thinking about how she had just been tricked by the man in front of her with her good looks and how she had foolishly fallen for it and involuntarily nodded, she wished she could find a block of tofu and kill herself.
Her face flushed red as she glared at him. Oh dear, finding a handsome man as a husband isn't all that perfect. What a mistake!
"Wife, eat more. Eating this won't make you gain weight, and it'll even beautify your skin," Chi Moqing said with a smile.
Yan Zuozuo lowered her head, looking at the incredibly handsome man opposite her, her heart filled with both love and hate. Transforming her grief into appetite, she ate heartily, making Chi Moqing laugh uncontrollably.
As soon as they arrived home, they saw someone standing at the door. Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. "Meng Xinyu?"
Chi Moqing's eyes flickered, but before he could speak, Meng Xinyu rushed over angrily, gritting her teeth and saying, "You finally decided to come back!"
Yan Zuozuo frowned. Not long ago, she and Young Master Ou were all lovey-dovey. What's wrong with them now?
"Xinyu, what are you doing?" Chi Moqing asked unhappily.
"I should be asking Yan Zuozuo what she's trying to do! She's already married to her cousin, yet she's still flirting with other women everywhere. Has she no shame?" Meng Xinyu yelled, acting just like a shrew.
Chi Moqing's face darkened: "If you don't want me to kick you out, you'd better watch your words!"
"Me!" Meng Xinyu was startled when she met Chi Moqing's displeased expression. She gritted her teeth and said, "I really wanted to be polite, but this bitch... it's Yan Zuozuo who doesn't respect herself, I can't stand it!"
Chi Moqing glanced at Yan Zuozuo, then took her hand and walked home, ignoring Meng Xinyu completely. Meng Xinyu's face turned ashen with anger, but she still followed them inside.
She sat down on the sofa and started yelling, "Doesn't Fan Hua Design have any other designers? Why does it have to be you, Yan Zuozuo, designing clothes for Young Master Ou? Are you doing this for work or do you have ulterior motives? Yan Zuozuo, let's get this straight today!"
Yan Zuozuo found Meng Xinyu's demanding attitude ridiculous. "First of all, the client chose me, and as an employee of Fan Hua Design, I have an obligation to satisfy the client. Secondly, I brought my assistant with me, and my assistant was present the whole time. You can ask my assistant whether it's work or not. Thirdly, it's probably not Ms. Meng's place to interfere in my affairs. What right do you have to come here and question me?"
"Because I'm Young Master Ou's girlfriend!" Meng Xinyu said confidently. "I don't like the look of you, and from now on you're not allowed to appear in front of my boyfriend!"
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was going to say. Even if you were his wife, we wouldn't change designers without Young Master Ou's personal permission."
"Yan Zuozuo, you...you've gone too far!"
"Miss Meng, aren't you going too far? I'm doing my job, and you're having your romance. We're both doing our jobs. Did you really need to come to my house?" Yan Zuozuo said coldly, her expression turning serious.
Meng Xinyu clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you had behaved yourself and hadn't seduced my boyfriend, would I have come looking for you? Yan Zuozuo, don't think that just because I don't have a recording, you can act with impunity. In time, your true colors will be revealed, and I don't believe I can't find other dirt on you!"
"Then come find me again after you've caught him. As for the design drafts by Young Master Ou, I'll say it again: if I can get Young Master Ou to personally tell me to change designers, I'll change them immediately. But if I can't, then I can only apologize."
Meng Xinyu felt a surge of anger. If she could get Ou San Shao to come over, would she need to come to Yan Zuo Zuo to vent her frustration?
She clenched her fists tightly and said angrily, "You know perfectly well that Young Master Ou has ill intentions towards you, yet you still refuse to drop this case. What are you up to?"
"It's none of your business what my intentions are. My husband hasn't even suspected me yet, so who do you think you are?"
Meng Xinyu stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Was this really the Yan Zuozuo she knew? When did she become so strong and imposing? She hadn't taken Qin Yun's words to heart before, but seeing it now, she was truly taken aback.
She narrowed her eyes, then her expression changed, and she looked at Chi Moqing with a sorrowful expression. "Cousin, look at her like this. She clearly doesn't want to break off her relationship with Young Master Ou. Aren't you going to do anything about her?"
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "I should really do something about this, otherwise all sorts of scoundrels will start bullying my wife."
Meng Xinyu's expression changed drastically: "Cousin, what do you mean by that?"
"It seems you haven't learned your lesson from last time. Have I been too lenient with you, making you so arrogant?"
Meng Xinyu was startled and looked at Chi Moqing with grief and indignation. "Cousin, you've watched me grow up since I was a child. Are you going to disregard family ties for a lowly woman like you? What if Aunt finds out..."
"What do you know? Do you know that you throw yourself at men and still get rejected, that you can't even keep your own man in check, so you come here to throw a tantrum and act like a spoiled brat? Don't you have any manners of a proper lady?"
Under pressure, Meng Xinyu gradually backed down and stammered, "Who...who said I couldn't keep an eye on her? It's just that some women are shameless. Young Master Ou still loves me very much..."
Chi Moqing sneered: "Then go find those shameless women, stop messing around with me!"
"Yan Zuozuo is..."
"Think carefully before you speak!" Chi Moqing's face darkened.
"I've figured it out now, Yan Zuozuo is that shameless woman. She seduced Young Master Ou, and he'll get what's coming to him... Ah!" Before Meng Xinyu could finish speaking, Yan Zuozuo had already slapped her. She smiled innocently, "Sorry, it was an accident."
"You dare hit me?" Meng Xinyu screamed, lunging forward to strike Yan Zuozuo, but Chi Moqing pushed her down onto the sofa. She looked at him in disbelief, "Cousin, even you're protecting her?"
"You should be glad it was her who slapped you, otherwise you might be in the hospital by the time I got my hands on you." He glared at Meng Xinyu with a cold look in his eyes. "I didn't settle scores with you before because of your aunt. If you don't know when to stop, don't blame me for being impolite. My wife has suffered so much for no reason, and I'll make you pay for it many times over, understand?"
Meng Xinyu's heart skipped a beat: "Cousin, don't scare me, Auntie won't agree... and my mom too..."
Chi Moqing sneered: "Do I need anyone's permission to do what I want to do?"
"What do you want to do? I'm your cousin, my mother's only daughter..."
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "What I do depends on whether my cousin knows what's good for her. Remember, this is the last time I'm warning you. If there's a next time, you'll know what I'm planning to do."
Meng Xinyu stared at Chi Moqing with a look of terror on her face. This was the first time she had ever seen her cousin so gloomy and angry, and she was terrified. She shrank back and swallowed hard, saying, "I...I understand."
"It's good that you know. If there's nothing else, let's go now!"
Meng Xinyu had originally intended to warn Yan Zuozuo, but unexpectedly, she was the one being warned instead. Clutching her bag, she fled the villa in a panic. It seemed she couldn't count on Chi Moqing, but she absolutely refused to let Yan Zuozuo off so easily!
In the car, Meng Xinyu gripped the steering wheel tightly. Since asking Chi Moqing was useless, she could only ask her aunt. She refused to believe that her aunt would want a daughter-in-law who was not virtuous.
She sneered, took out her phone and called Qin Yun, "Send me the recording on your phone, this time I'll make sure Yan Zuozuo is dead!"
