After class, Zhuang Mingyue saw that it was still early to go home. Thinking that she had been busy with banquet work recently, she decided to cook a meal to reward herself.

It had been a long time since she last cooked, and Zhuang Mingyue was busy in the kitchen. Meilin wanted to come up to help but was stopped.

"Let me do it." Zhuang Mingyue started cutting the broccoli carefully.

Meilin had no choice but to leave the kitchen, but before she got halfway there she was stopped by Zhuang Mingyue.

"Meilin, please feed the cat. I'll be out in a while." Zhuang Mingyue was going to have lunch with him directly in the Zhanyan office and would not come back in the afternoon.

Zhuang Mingyue will personally take care of the cats whenever she is at home.

Zhuang Mingyue came to Zhan's with a leisurely mood carrying a thermos lunch box, but saw Hou Xu being stopped by the security guard at the door. She suddenly felt nervous.

She could only avoid Hou Xu's gaze as much as possible. She still felt nervous when she entered the Zhan's hall. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, she didn't do anything wrong, so why should she hide?

After entering Zhan Yan's office, Zhuang Mingyue was still in shock. She absentmindedly opened the thermos lunch box while thinking about how to deal with it if she ran into Hou Xu again.

Zhan Yan had just finished reading the documents and came over. He was surprised to see Ming Yue distracted. "What's wrong?"

He helped Mingyue to get the soup in the lunch box, worried that she would get scalded because of her distraction.

Zhuang Mingyue simply let Zhan Yan do it, and propped up her chin with both hands with a gloomy expression, "I just saw Hou Xu."

Zhan Yan had long been concerned about Hou Xu, and when Ming Yue mentioned him, he was still nonchalant, "I'll tell you."

After the four dishes, two soups and two bowls of rice were placed in the insulated lunch box, Zhan Yan called the security department, gave a brief explanation and came over.

It was obvious that today's dishes were cooked by Mingyue herself. It had been a long time since I had eaten her cooking. Zhan Yan picked up the chopsticks with great interest.

Zhuang Mingyue was still panicked by Hou Xu's appearance, worrying that he, who always looked well-behaved, would do something extreme. She might have believed before that a person would always be the same, but too many things happened afterwards.

Gradually, Zhuang Mingyue's character was worn out beyond recognition.

Seeing Mingyue still immersed in deep thought, Zhan Yan handed her the chopsticks and said, "You worked so hard to prepare such a sumptuous lunch, why don't you give yourself some face?"

After saying this, Zhuang Mingyue also felt a little hungry. After all, she shouldn't think too much.

As soon as she took a bite of the stir-fried broccoli and carrots, Zhuang Mingyue frowned slightly and looked at Zhan Yan awkwardly, "It's a bit too bland."

Zhan Yan didn't mind and continued to eat with relish, "Lighter food is better, it's good for health."

There was a social event at the exhibition in the afternoon. The client’s wife, Zhuang Mingyue, was also an acquaintance of the Fan family, who worked in finance.

Since the Pilates class was recently moved to the morning, Zhuang Mingyue had plenty of time in the afternoon. She either painted at home or came to the company to look for exhibitions. However, he was too busy recently and had little time to accompany her.

The two of them went downstairs together and when they arrived at the door to wait for the car, Hou Xu, who had been waiting there for a long time, rushed up.

Zhuang Mingyue was held in Zhan Yan's arms. They were talking and laughing when a figure suddenly flashed in front of them. Before she could see the man's face clearly, he was strangled by the neck.

Zhan Yan took a quick step forward and hit Hou Xu in the vitals. He covered his lower body in pain, and several security guards came up and captured him.

The strong pressure on the neck made Zhuang Mingyue feel a little blocked in the throat. As she was massaging her neck with her hands, Zhan Yan reached out to her back and patted her gently, asking, "How does it feel?"

Hou Xu was captured by several security guards but still shouted, "Zhuang Mingyue, Zhan Yan, if you have the guts, don't let anyone catch me! I see through you!"

The hatred for the two of them was deep in his heart, and he just didn't want them to have an easy life.

Zhuang Mingyue really didn't expect Hou Xu to become like this. Feeling that her neck felt better, she looked up at Zhan Yan and forced a smile, "Much better."

Although Hou Xu's current performance is very intense, judging from his performance just now, he does not want to hurt himself, but just wants to use it to threaten Zhan Yan.

In her opinion, Hou Xu was not a bad person, he just liked to play too much.

Hou Xu reacted violently and tried hard to break free from the restraints of several security guards, but there were too many people holding him, making it impossible for him to move his hands and feet. He could only glare at Zhuang Mingyue and Zhan Yan.

"Do you think you are so superior? Do you think you can decide everything just because you have money? It's you who made me like this!"

There was sadness, disdain and resentment in his words.

Zhuang Mingyue began to regret helping Hou Xu. She thought that at least the people she helped would be grateful and repay her kindness, but instead of repaying her kindness, it was like this...

Zhan Yan could tell Ming Yue was in a bad mood, so he held her hand tightly and comforted her, "I'll take care of it."

Zhan Yan didn't hear a word Hou Xu said. All he saw was a desperate man.

"Don't forget that you messed up everything."

Since it was Hou Xu's own problem, why should he blame himself and Mingyue?

Hou Xu was choked for a moment. He felt that he had done well enough. It was obviously this couple who were looking for trouble!

"No! I didn't screw up! You're the ones finding fault. You're so rich, so what's wrong with giving me some alms?"

These righteous words immediately attracted many people to stop and everyone looked at Hou Xu with contempt.

Hou Xu still felt confident that he had been having a very hard time these days. He had originally been planning to look for a job after eating and drinking with his drinking buddies for a few days.

But in such a big city, the work was either too tiring or he was not good at it. He had no choice but to come to Zhuang Mingyue again, but he couldn't even get into the Zhan family's door.

Zhan Yan never talks much in front of outsiders. He thinks simple and straightforward is best. This time, he just winked at the security guard and took Zhuang Mingyue to the car.

After getting on the car, Zhuang Mingyue still felt confused.

When several security guards took Hou Xu away, his reaction was still very intense. He kicked and pulled his legs while saying, "I hate you! I hate you!"

Zhuang Mingyue was sad and felt a warm sensation beside her. She threw herself into Xian Yan's arms and said thoughtfully, "Should I have not helped Hou Xu in the first place?"

At that time in the hospital, it was Zhuang Mingyue who took the initiative to find a place for Hou Xu to live, and later it was she who suggested giving Hou Xu a stable job.

I thought Hou Xu could live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, things went wrong one after another.

Zhan Yan always felt that Mingyue’s intentions were good, but her help was too obvious and did not make the other party feel grateful.

"Can you say that being kind is wrong?" Zhan Yan took Mingyue's hand, his eyes full of sincerity.

Zhuang Mingyue thought about it for a while and felt that Zhan Yan’s question was very intriguing. There was nothing wrong with being kind, but if there was anything wrong, it was her own business.

In order to prevent Hou Xu from making any further moves, Zhan Yan specially hired someone to keep an eye on him to ensure Mingyue's safety to the greatest extent possible.
