Winter has gone and spring has come, the weather is still cold. Zhou Yian has forgotten how long Xu Zehao has not come to Nanwan, a week, half a month, or almost a month.

The days seemed to have returned to normal. Both of them were in tacit agreement about the late-night meeting with the beautiful woman, and neither of them went to talk to the other about it.

It seemed that both sides felt there was no need to talk, or perhaps both sides thought the other side didn't know, or perhaps both sides felt it was no big deal, so the matter was just left unresolved.

Although spring has come, the sycamore tree in the yard has not sprouted any new buds. Zhou Yian looked at it and suddenly thought of the saying, "Although the sycamore tree stands, its heart is empty. It waits to sprout in spring, but its fruit is buried in winter."

"Hello, Mr. Xu, hello, sister-in-law."

"Mr. Xu, it's a rare day today, you brought your sister-in-law here again..."

At this time, Xu Zehao was drinking with Xia Xue in the MG Club, and a group of people tactfully called Xia Xue sister-in-law.

As always, Xu Zehao neither admitted nor denied nor explained. As time went by, everyone tacitly accepted that Xia Xue was his woman, and that she was firmly in the Eastern Palace.

There are very few women who appear around Xu Zehao, and Xia Xue is the one with the highest exposure rate. This behavior almost makes Xia Xue herself have the illusion that she is the real sister-in-law.

"Mr. Xu, how is my acting?" Xia Xue held the wine glass and leaned lazily on Xu Zehao.

"Very good, better than I thought."

"When the fake becomes real, the real becomes fake. True or false, fake or real, who cares?" Xia Xue put down the wine glass, straddled his chest, rubbing his ears with seductive eyes.

Today she was wearing a cheongsam-style dress with a high slit, revealing her white and slender thighs when she sat astride. She pulled Xu Zehao's hand over and placed it on the side of her thigh. Her posture was ambiguous and full of desire.

She put one arm around his neck and with the other hand gently stroked his cheek all the way down, from his neck to his chest. When she was about to reach his abdomen, he grabbed her wandering hand and clamped it tightly to stop her from sliding down.

"Enough." Although Xu Zehao had a smile on his face, his tone was cold.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" She continued to approach him with ill intentions, her warm breath brushing across his neck, trying to make him feel itchy and restless. She was deliberately teasing him.

"Of course we have to put on a complete show, otherwise how would anyone believe it? Someone is secretly filming us in the right corner." Xia Xue changed her coquettish look and reminded Xu Zehao in a low voice.

Xu Zehao looked at it calmly for a few seconds and saw that there was indeed someone over there recording a video with a mobile phone. It seemed unintentional, but the camera was facing this side intentionally or unintentionally.

"You observe very carefully."

"If you take money from someone, shouldn't you be more professional?"

After Xu Zehao discovered the camera, he cooperated with her generously and deliberately buried his head in her chest, but he deliberately used his forehead to touch it, so there was a slight distance between the two of them, which could not be seen at all without careful observation.

The drinking party ended in the early morning. Xu Zehao got drunk on purpose and left with Xia Xue in his arms in a high-profile manner.

In the Xu family's old house, Master Xu was furious as he looked at the stack of photos on the table. He was holding a photo in his hand, which happened to be the one where Xia Xue offered a kiss. "Didn't you say he was always busy at the company? How could he still have time to hang out with women?"

That stack of photos were all of Xu Zehao, some were taken secretly at the door of a bar, some were taken in a shopping mall, at different times and places, there were two people hugging each other, two were sitting in a car, and one was her kissing him. Every photo was very clear and the facial expressions were clearly visible, the ambiguous feelings could be seen without being said out loud.

"Master, I didn't get the woman's face clearly in the first shot. It seems the young master discovered us and shook off the people who were following him, so I didn't dare say anything to you." The old butler knew he was in the wrong, so he spoke in a lower voice, lowered his head guiltily, and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"The young master became much more cautious later on. We lost him several times, and only then were we able to take these photos."

Mr. Xu gritted his teeth in anger, breathing rapidly due to anger, and his body trembled slightly, "Who is this woman?"

"I'm sorry, Master. We haven't found any information about her yet. The young master is very vigilant. After he found out we were following him, he became even more secretive."

When Mr. Xu heard this, he became furious and threw the photo in his hand. Then he swept the photos on the table all over the floor. The old butler was also frightened by Mr. Yu's action and trembled, taking a small step back.

"Investigate this woman for me. Dig deep into the ground to find out her information. Also, clean up these photos for me. They must not be leaked."

"Call Zehao back to me now." Old Master Xu was so angry that he wanted to throw all the photos in Xu Zehao's face and ask him to give him an explanation.

"Master, calm down. If you let the young master know that you hired someone to monitor him, given the young master's temper, this..."

The old housekeeper's words calmed Mr. Xu down a lot. He remained silent and held the cane tightly in his hand. The joints turned white due to excessive force.

He took a few deep breaths to adjust his emotions. "I was so angry that I lost my temper. You're right. According to this kid's temper, if he knew that I sent someone to monitor him, he would definitely not give up. I can't control what happens to him in the future, but during my lifetime, he must follow the path I arrange for him."

"Go ahead and find someone to monitor him. I want to see who this woman is."

"Yes, sir."

In the Xu Group, a conspiracy is quietly taking place.

Xu Zehao looked at the plan proposal that had been returned to him several times, and he became so angry that he couldn't control the fire in his heart anymore. He kicked over the stool in the office. The secretary beside him stood there trembling, not daring to make a sound.

"Fuck." Xu Zehao pulled his tie in annoyance and slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.

"Secretary Liu, this is the nth time they have rejected your visa application."

"Mr. Xu, this is the third time." Secretary Liu hid aside tremblingly, fearing that this tremendous anger would affect him.

"Let's arrange a drinking party tonight and treat them to a meal."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

The restaurant was crowded with people in the evening, and many people were eating there. Xu Zehao and Secretary Liu first came to the private room that had been booked in advance.

We had agreed to have the dinner start at 6:30, but by almost 7 o'clock, no one had shown up for the dinner.

"Mr. Xu, are your dishes about to be served?" This was the second time the waiter asked.

Xu Zehao sat upright, with a gloomy face and did not speak. Secretary Liu beside him quickly waved his hand, signaling the waiter to go down.

"Are you sure you told them to come here for dinner at 6:30 tonight?"

"Mr. Xu, I've notified them, but I don't know why... why they haven't arrived yet." Secretary Liu's voice became lower and lower as he explained in a panic. He wanted to take out his cell phone to show Xu Zehao to prove his innocence.

At almost seven o'clock, the door was finally pushed open, and a strong middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties walked in with a young man.
