“Ah!” One of Si Cheng’s wrists was grabbed and twisted back. His other hand rushed to hold on to it and immediately let go of Jiang An in pain.
Zou Yi glanced at Si Cheng coldly and ignored his screams. Then, he looked at Jiang An. “Miss Jiang, are you alright?”
When Jiang An saw Zou Yi, she was a little stunned and subconsciously looked around, but she did not see that familiar voice. She shook her head. “I’m fine. Thank you for today.”
Zou Yi’s expressionless face was similar to Zou Bai’s. Even his tone did not fluctuate. “You’re welcome, Miss Jiang. Go into the office first. I’ll let him go later.”
Jiang An glanced at Si Cheng and their gazes met. Si Cheng immediately shouted emotionally, “Jiang An, don’t leave.”
Jiang An turned around and left without hesitation. Zou Yi only let go when he saw Jiang An enter the elevator. He warned in a low voice, “1 advise you not to touch anyone you shouldn’t. Miss Jiang is no longer someone you can reach.”
The cold spring air had yet to dissipate, but Si Cheng’s head was already covered in a thin layer of sweat after being tortured by Zou Yi just now. He frowned and looked at Zou Yi. “Who are you?!”
Zou Yi replied calmly, “It doesn’t matter who I am. You’d better pray that you don’t meet me again.”
After Zou Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked across the road. Si Cheng looked at the building that Zou Yi had walked into and looked up. When he saw the words “ZL Corporation”, the words “Zou Corporation” immediately appeared in his mind.
The Zou Corporation was an unshakable business empire in China. There were not many companies that could compete with it internationally. Si Cheng had never seen the current head of the Zou family, Zou Bai. The other party never appeared in any interviews and usually only appeared at business banquets.
The Zou family had been an aristocratic family in China since a hundred years ago. There were many officials in the old government before the founding of the country. Later on, many of their clansmen joined the revolutionary army of the current government. When Zou Bai’s grandparents were young, they followed their parents and contributed to the establishment of the new government.
Such achievements and the heritage left behind by the aristocratic ancestors had created the Zou family, which could not be easily shaken.
Jiang Family
Jiang Hai was in the study, making a list of the banquets held to introduce Jiang An. “Do you think we should invite the Zou family?”
Li Mei leaned against Jiang Hai and looked at the name list on the computer. “I can’t say for sure. Our two families haven’t contacted each other for almost 10 years.”
Jiang Hai counted with his fingers. “More or less. Dad was Grandpa Zou’s most trusted subordinate back then. When he was around, he always brought me to the Zou family to visit Grandpa Zou during the New Year. Zou Chao and I were still friends. After Dad left, Zou Chao was too lazy to care about worldly matters eight years ago. He simply threw the company to Zou Bai and brought his wife around to sightsee.”
“What do you think a junior like Zou Bai and I can talk about? Moreover, if the focus is on the company’s business, we won’t have much interaction. Gradually, our relationship will be broken.”
When Li Mei heard this, she sighed. “I remember that when our families were closest, Zou Chao’s wife, Wen Li, liked our An’an very much. If An’an hadn’t been lost back then, she might have been able to become in-laws. Sigh, fate really makes fools of people.”
“In that case, there’s no need to invite him. We haven’t contacted him for so long, but if we suddenly invited him to the banquet, those who don’t know might think that we’re plotting something. Although our Jiang family isn’t bad, it’s not enough compared to the Zou family.”
Jiang Hai deleted the words “Jingdu City’s Zou family”. “Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. An’an will meet her own lover in the future. 1 heard that Zou Bai didn’t find another one just for that woman. This means that his love is with that woman. Even if An’an wasn’t lost, this wouldn’t be a good marriage.”
Li Mei pursed her lips. “Of course 1 know. I just think that the Zou family’s elders like An’an. If it really worked out, at least we don’t have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Moreover, the Zou family is upright. The Zou family’s men won’t mess around. This is not easy to find in the upper class. Zou Bai is capable and good-looking!”
When Jiang Hai heard this, he hugged Li Mei tightly and said indignantly, “Our Jiang family’s style isn’t bad either.. Am I not capable?! Am I not good-looking?! I’m so loyal to you too!”
