Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 834 The Painful Past

Xiaomai knew that if she admitted that she didn't like Zhou Ziqi, the uncle would definitely ask Director Wang to fire her. After all, she was hired by Qingtian based on her own abilities, and she couldn't ruin her future because of her personal prejudice. Besides, Qingtian really needed capable designers right now. So, after comprehensive consideration, it would be most appropriate for her to extinguish the anger of this overbearing old man.

Xiaomai and He Lingting went straight home after leaving the company. They had been working all day and were a little worried about their three kids at home. In fact, the three kids were also thinking: Why hasn’t mom come back yet?

On the other side, Zhou Ziqi returned home with a lot of anger. She was born in Zhou family in Lin City. Since she was a child, people have always been rushing to curry favor with her. Today, she finally hit a snag. That Bao Zheng face really scared her, but she still had confidence in her charm. Now it must be that Jiang Xiaomai was standing in the way that men ignored her.

She threw her bag on the sofa as soon as she entered the room, stamping her feet angrily and muttering, "Humph, you just have a vixen face, what's so great about that? I don't believe that all men can like you..."

"Zi Qi is back. What's wrong? Are you unhappy on your first day at work?" Suddenly a man's voice came from the stairs, and then a handsome young man walked down the stairs with elegant steps.

"Ah! Brother Jun, you are at home." Zhou Ziqi's angry face disappeared immediately. She smiled at the man on the stairs and said, as if the woman with a distorted face just now was not her. The speed at which she changed her face was even faster than turning the pages of a book. To be honest, it would be a waste of her talent if she didn't become an actor.

"Well, what's wrong? Are you unhappy just now? If you are unhappy with the work, then we won't go. Now my face is healed, I can support you in the future." The man said casually. That's right, this sister who he got unexpectedly has been supporting him for more than a year. Although he also has his own gray income, it is not visible, so he simply let Zhou Ziqi support him. Now that he has changed his appearance, he can finally go out and find a decent job.

"No, Brother Jun, you've thought too much. Jewelry design is my interest. It has always been my dream to join the Qingtian Group, a leading company in the jewelry industry. I finally got in, so how could I not be happy?" Zhou Ziqi argued. The major she studied abroad was indeed jewelry design, and she had been doing quite well abroad in the past two years. It was just that she heard that Qingtian could make his designers the best in the world, so she gave up her resources abroad and returned here, just to use Qingtian's power to join the ranks of the world's top designers, so that she would be qualified to compete with her brothers and sisters for the family industry in the future.

"As long as you are happy, I'll make you something to eat. It's almost six o'clock, you must be hungry!" The man did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject.

"Yeah, then I want to eat pasta, okay?" When Zhou Ziqi heard the word "eat", her stomach growled twice, and she asked playfully with a pout.

"Okay, sit and wait! Come over for dinner in fifteen minutes." The man went straight to the kitchen, leaving Zhou Ziqi alone in the living room. She looked at the figure busy in the kitchen for her, feeling proud. The man next to her was not bad. "Jiang Xiaomai, I don't believe that man who is so cold can cook for you."

The more Zhou Ziqi thought about it, the faster her anger subsided. She believed that one day she would become Qingtian's favorite, just like when she snatched away all of Ji Youyou's good friends. In the end, she could only keep her Chinese medicine practitioner as her companion.

Zhou Ziqi was immersed in her sweet dream when she heard a voice from the kitchen, "Ziqi, wash your hands and come over to eat."

"Okay, here we come."

"Wow, it smells so good, Brother Jun, you are so amazing, it looks delicious." Zhou Ziqi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of noodles with a fork and put it in her mouth. The moment the noodles entered her mouth, she immediately exclaimed: "Brother Jun, it's so delicious, I think it's many times better than those made in foreign restaurants."

"Then you should eat more." The man smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, Brother Jun, I think since you have this skill, you might as well open a western restaurant." Zhou Ziqi suggested to the man while eating noodles.

"You're overthinking it. I only know how to cook pasta. Can you find a western restaurant that can be successful with just one dish? Don't worry about me. Just do your job well." The man denied.

"Okay then! I'm full, this bowl..." Zhou Ziqi looked at the man opposite meaningfully.

"I'll do it. You've worked all day, go back to your room and take a rest!" The man said helplessly. This girl is always so lazy.

"Brother Jun, you are the best. You are so much better than that cold man I saw today." Zhou Ziqi said as she walked forward and kissed the man on the cheek.

"Cold man?"

"Yes, he should be Jiang Xiaomai's man! As soon as he entered the room, he acted as if someone owed him two and a half million. Except for Jiang Xiaomai, he was not friendly to anyone else. Do you think it's wrong to describe him as cold? But he is really handsome. I don't know where Jiang Xiaomai got such a top-notch guy?..."

Zhou Ziqi was chattering on and on about how He Lingting and Xiaomai were so excessive. When the man opposite heard the three words "Jiang Xiaomai", his brows furrowed and his heart trembled. He hadn't heard this name for a long time. He didn't know if she still remembered the man whose eyes were full of her.

Zhou Ziqi found that she had been talking for a long time, but the man opposite her didn't know what he was thinking. It seemed that he didn't hear her at all. She waved her hands in front of the man, "Brother Jun, Brother Jun, you are too much. I am talking to you."

Yin Jun came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just remembered that I have an important business that I haven't finished today. You should go to bed early too!"

"OK then!"

After Zhou Ziqi returned to her room, Yin Jun also went to the study. He took out a book he often read from the bookshelf, turned directly to the middle page, took out a picture cut out from a newspaper or magazine, then sat on a chair and stared at the picture in his hand, recalling the painful past.

The man murmured, "It's been more than a year. Are you okay? You didn't know I would come back, did you? Do you still remember me?"

Suddenly the scene changed, and a ferocious expression appeared on the man's face. "He Lingting, you don't know I'm still alive! You destroyed my family and I will make you pay with blood. Since you destroyed my family business, I will start with your Qingtian..."
