Joes looked at the time. The auction had been going on for more than two hours, and it was now Sixoâ clock.
Before she left, she arranged a celebration party for the companyâs people.
Thinking of this, she said,âokay, Iâll go right away. You go back to the company and take them there first. Iâll be back soon.â
âYes, President.â Millie nodded slightly.
With that, Qiao sisi walked towards the car park outside. Zheng Zeyi had said that he had something to discuss with her.
Although the two of them didnât have any emotional relationship now, they might have a business partnership.
âKnock, knock.â
The sound of knocking on the car window was heard, and the car window was rolled down.
Qiao si looked over and saw Zheng Zeyiâs side profile. He was handsome and flawless.
She cleared her throat, suppressed the strange feeling, and asked,ââPresident Zheng, you said you wanted to have a chat with me. May I know whatâs the matter?â
Zheng Zeyi furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction when he heard Qiao SIâs polite words.
However, he calmed down after a while and said,ââDo you have time tomorrow?â
Tomorrow?
......
Joes thought for a moment.âThere should be. If thereâs anything, you can tell me directly.â
The company had gradually stabilized these few days, and she had less work to do. She was not as busy as she had been a few days ago.
It was easy to squeeze out some time.
âMy grandfather wants to see you.â Zheng Zeyi threw out a bombshell.
Joes was stunned, but old master Zhengâs familiar figure appeared in her mind. He had a kind and kind look on his face.
They had not seen each other for a year, and she wondered how Zheng Zeyi had managed to hide this from old master Zheng.
At the thought of old master Zheng, Joes did not know why she felt a little guilty. She straightened her face and pretended to be calm.
âPresident Zheng, youâve already explained things to Grandpa Zheng, right? I think ... We wonât have any special relationship in the future.
Itâs best if we donât meet again, in case Grandpa Zheng misunderstands something again. That wouldnât be good. â
Joes hardened her heart and finally said these words.
Zheng Zeyi was silent for two seconds before he looked up at him and said in a calm tone,ââI didnât tell my grandfather about this. I only told him that you went overseas for training.
He hasnât been in good health recently and is recuperating in the hospital, so I want to ask for your help. â
Zheng Zeyiâs expression was very serious, and he did not seem to be lying.
âGrandpa Zheng is in the hospital?â
Joes âtone was one of shock as she furrowed her brows tightly.
After the shock, she couldnât help but feel a little worried. Was the kind old man in her impression also in the hospital because of his health?
It was no wonder that Zheng Zeyi was unwilling to mention this to old master Zheng. He was probably worried that old master Zheng would not be well.
At this moment, joesse automatically started to find an excuse for Zheng Zeyi.
âYes, itâs true. I donât know how much longer my grandfather can hold on.â Zheng Zeyi nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked much more Haggard in an instant.
After all, her grandfatherâs health was not good, so it was natural to be worried.
Looking at him in this state, joesseâs emotions became even more complicated.
âBut we canât keep it a secret forever. Grandpa Zheng will find out the truth one day.â
Zheng Zeyi laughed bitterly and helplessly.
âHe has too many internal injuries. Even if heâs in the best hospital, itâs barely enough. I just donât want him to know that his previous granddaughter-in-law was fake before he leaves.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng ze lowered his eyes and looked extremely dejected. He was no longer in high spirits.
Joesâs heart felt as if it was being tugged at. She was in a dilemma and did not know what choice she should make.
Grandpa Zheng ...
After thinking for a long time, Joes gritted her teeth.
Forget it, isnât it just continuing to pretend to be an engaged couple? He had already pretended in the past, so there was no need to resist now.
Moreover, she was only pretending in front of old master Zheng. To the outside world, Joes was still the CEO of Xing Yuan design and had nothing to do with Zheng Zeyi.
She made a decision in her heart and asked,ââI promise to meet Grandpa Zheng tomorrow, but ...â
At this point, Joes changed the topic,ââYou have to promise me that youâll only pretend in front of Grandpa Zheng and that we wonât have any relationship with the outside world.â
âAlright,â he said.
Zheng Zeyi agreed without any hesitation. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, but it was because the shadow had covered him.
He did not care whether he made it public or not. The main thing was that if Joes agreed, it would be a huge step forward.
Seeing that he had agreed so quickly, joesse thought that he was just concerned about old man Zheng and did not think too much about it.
âThen Iâll pick you up at the company tomorrow. How about that?â Zheng Zeyiâs thin lips moved and he spat out a few words.
If he came to Xing Yuan design to pick up people, the companyâs people would probably see it and he might be able to take another step forward.
President Zheng had also spent a lot of effort on the long road of chasing his wife.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo need,â
However, Jossi rejected him decisively.âIâll go to your company to look for you tomorrow. I know the location. Weâll go and visit Grandpa Zheng together then.â
She wasnât a fool. If she went to the company to pick him up, it would definitely cause a misunderstanding.
After what happened a year ago, joesse knew how scary public opinion could be. It was best to control it.
âSure.â Zheng Zeyi also agreed rather generously.
Looking at the darkening sky, Joes retracted her gaze and said,ââI still have something to do, so Iâll take my leave first.â
The companyâs celebration party was about to start. If they delayed too long, it would be too late to get there.
Zheng Zeyi was well-informed, so he naturally knew about this.
âGo on.â There was a devilish smile on his lips as he looked at the back of Joesâs graceful figure.
He walked straight to the car until it left the parking lot.
Zheng Zeyiâs gaze fell on assistant li, who was in front of him, and he said calmly,ââInform the old master later. Tell him ... That his granddaughter-in-law is coming to see him tomorrow.â
As he finished, the curve of his lips widened.
Feeling that the atmosphere in the car was different from before, assistant li was stunned and quickly responded,ââYes, President.â
Then, he couldnât help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the president had fallen into the hands of President Qiao.
In all these years, when had he ever cared so much about a person?
On the other side.
âAchoo!â Old master Zheng couldnât help but sneeze and touch his nose.
He had a bad feeling about this. Why did he feel like someone was talking bad about him behind his back?
After thinking for a long time, old master Zheng still couldnât figure out who this person was. It was probably just his illusion.
Old master Zheng continued to read the book in his hand. No matter how he racked his brain, he would never think that his grandson was the one who was talking bad about him.
