Wang Ke's phone was left on the bed!
The man beside her embraced her waist.
"Want more? I just took some medicine, shall we have another round?" the man asked.
Wang Ke had no inclination for it anymore. Her day had been rather unpleasant, and she had only sought a little fun.
Now that she had learned something significant, she needed to see Zhan Zhicheng immediately!
"No, I have something to do. You can look at the film yourself," Wang Ke quickly got out of bed, fumbling to put on her clothes.
As she was dressing, her phone rang again. She picked it up and saw it was Zhan Zhicheng.
She glanced at the man, then answered the call, "Hello, husband."
"Where have you been? Do you know something major has happened in Yan City?" Zhan Zhicheng questioned, almost yelling.
Wang Ke's body trembled. "I know. I was out shopping and got my nails done. I wasn't checking my phone much and just found out. Husband, wait for me at home, and we'll discuss countermeasures."
The call ended.
The man, still unclothed, got out of bed and hugged Wang Ke. "Is it really that heartless to leave me like this?"
"Be good, I'll come back to find you in a few days. I just transferred a hundred thousand to your card. Go buy yourself something you like," Wang Ke patted the man's face.
Although she was forty-eight now, she had maintained her appearance remarkably well.
Of course, she didn't like Zhan Zhicheng, who had become increasingly less capable over the years. She had plenty of other men outside.
The young man in front of her was only twenty-one this year, full of vigor, and she was very satisfied.
"Thank you, sis."
...
Zhan family villa.
Zhan Zhicheng made several phone calls.
Several calls were also made to him.
They were either him asking about others' companies or people asking him about Zhan Xiaojun.
He was in a state of complete bewilderment!
He couldn't understand how Zhan Xiaojun had become Ning Yecheng's woman.
That was Ning Yecheng!
But upon closer thought, it seemed to explain things. Only the Ning family could so easily conceal the news and force him to step down as the chairman of Zhan Group.
It could also awe the shareholders of Zhan Group.
Thinking of this, his heart could not remain calm.
Wang Ke pushed open the door and rushed in anxiously.
"Husband, what should we do next? How could Zhan Xiaojun become Ning Yecheng's woman? She hates us so much, will she show us no mercy? Can we still stay in Yan City?"
The calmer she was, the more she thought about the terrifying consequences.
Zhan Xiaojun was silent, but when she acted, it was astounding.
She had found Ning Yecheng!
Zhan Zhicheng obviously thought along the same lines as Wang Ke, and his expression immediately turned grim.
"She truly hates me to the bone."
Wang Ke's eyes darted. "Husband, is it too late for us to try and appease her now? Through her connection to Ning Yecheng, who in Yan City would dare to look down on us in the future? Besides, Xiao Jun came from the countryside, she knows nothing, she's just good-looking. She can't compare to Xiao Ya. If we can get Xiao Ya to get close to Ning Yecheng, it would be beneficial to us in every way."
"It's just a matter of begging for her forgiveness now, and it might be a little demeaning for you, husband. I can also try to appease her, and Lin Ya too. As long as we can make our family rise again, I don't care about anything."
Zhan Zhicheng's eyes lit up. "Get Xiao Ya to get close to Ning Yecheng?"
"Yes, didn't we not have this opportunity before? We didn't know anyone who could introduce us to the Ning family, but now the chance has arrived, hasn't it?"
Zhan Zhicheng took a deep breath, then exhaled, as if making a significant decision.
"Good!"
Two hours later.
Wang Ke called Zhan Xiaoya, who was currently engaged in an intimate act.
Zhan Xiaoya's voice was hoarse from shouting.
She felt that escaping abroad was not a bad thing after all.
She could enjoy herself however she pleased.
She got out of bed and answered the phone, "Mom."
"Have you been drinking?" Wang Ke frowned.
"Yes, I was in a bad mood and only had a little. Mom, what do you need?" Zhan Xiaoya lied skillfully.
"Prepare yourself. Come back from America after some time, and we'll arrange for you to meet Ning Yecheng." Wang Ke said.
"What? Meet Ning Yecheng?" Zhan Xiaoya perked up.
"After what happened recently, I can see that Mu Bai and you are not meant to be. They mentioned breaking off the engagement on the phone, but they can't tell outsiders for now due to reputation. Moreover, Mom feels that Mu Bai is not worthy of you. The only one worthy of you is Ning Yecheng."
"Good! I will definitely prepare myself. If Zhan Xiaojun can make Ning Yecheng regard her differently, why can't I? Zhan Xiaojun is not better than me in anything!"
"Mom believes in you."
...
In a short period.
News about Zhan Xiaojun and Ning Yecheng had spread throughout Yan City's upper circles.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't know about it as they didn't see the news.
And Zhan Xiaojun didn't have access to those social circles, so she was unaware that she had become a prominent figure in Yan City.
After parting ways with Grandma Ning, she realized it was too late to go home, so she went to a nearby bookstore.
She picked out many books.
Around the appointed time, she set off for Yuwan Villa.
On the way, she received a call from Ning Yecheng.
"What are you doing?" Ning Yecheng's cool voice came through the phone.
"I'm on my way to Yuwan Villa." Zhan Xiaojun was slightly surprised. Why would he call her so suddenly?
"Mm, I'm not at Yuwan Villa. Tell the driver to go to Ning Corporation," Ning Yecheng said.
Zhan Xiaojun's eyes flickered. His sudden request for her to go to Ning Corporation definitely meant something.
She thought of Grandma Ning.
Her eyes darkened slightly, and she replied, "Okay."
Half an hour later.
Zhan Xiaojun appeared in front of the Ning Corporation building.
This was her second time at Ning Corporation.
At this hour, the staff in the building should have already left work.
So there were security guards at the main entrance.
Upon closer inspection, Liu Ning was at the entrance.
Liu Ning saw Zhan Xiaojun from afar and ran over in a few strides.
"Miss Zhan, please follow me."
Zhan Xiaojun nodded.
Liu Ning now admired Zhan Xiaojun greatly.
Therefore, when he saw Zhan Xiaojun earlier, his attitude was extremely respectful.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhan Xiaojun sensed Liu Ning's unusual behavior.
Liu Ning's back was straight. "Nothing's wrong. What's wrong with me?"
"Your attitude towards me is different from before. This makes me a little uncomfortable," Zhan Xiaojun pointed out precisely.
Liu Ning's bright, smiling face suddenly froze. "I respect Miss Zhan!"
"Do you know why President Ning wants to see me?" Zhan Xiaojun asked.
Liu Ning shook his head. "President Ning rarely tells us his business, so I'm not really sure."
Zhan Xiaojun didn't ask any further questions.
However, as they entered the elevator, Liu Ning couldn't help himself. He took out his phone and found a photo from his album.
"I heard Miss Zhan likes Mu Bai, is that right?"
Zhan Xiaojun raised an eyebrow. "Where did you hear that?"
