The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

"Hey, Yi'an, do you know Xu's?" My colleague Wang Jia is a star-chasing girl who pays attention to all kinds of gossip in the entertainment industry every day.

Zhou Yian's heart skipped a beat and he said expressionlessly, "I don't know. I haven't heard of it."

"Oh, you really are oblivious to what's happening outside. Xu's is the largest company in our city. We are the provincial capital, which means we are also the largest in our province. How could you not know this?"

"Then I really don't know, what happened to Xu?"

Seeing Zhou Yian asking, Wang Jia excitedly moved a little, holding the phone and leaning towards Zhou Yian: "Look at this."

[The Xu and Qin families are visiting each other frequently. Could it be that something good is about to happen?] A big black title.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yian took a look and asked in confusion.

"You don't know this, right? It's a wealthy marriage."

"Marriage?" Zhou Yian tightened his grip on the pen.

"Yes, the eldest daughter of the Qin family is going to marry the eldest son of the Xu family. The novel has come true. The rich finally get married, and the poor have seen it with their own eyes."

"Hey, you don't know, these two people are so mysterious. I couldn't find any clear photos of them when I searched. If you talk about marriage, then I can see the photos." Wang Jia was particularly excited when talking about gossip, and she could enjoy talking about it alone.

"Maybe." Zhou Yian felt sad and had no intention of watching the show.

"Tell me, is there love in a wealthy marriage like theirs?"

After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Yian murmured to himself, "Is there love? Is there?" He seemed to be asking Wang Jia and himself.

"I'm asking you? I don't know either." Wang Jia felt bored seeing Zhou Yian had no interest in eating melon, so he just held his phone and ate melon by himself.

Zhou Yian suddenly felt ridiculous. It was a matter of mutual consent and the other person was just playing around. She fell in love and started to feel greed, anger, love and hate, but she blamed the other person for not being loyal. She and he were not from the same world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yian felt relieved. Instead of worrying about how many women he had outside, it would be better to work hard and wait for the three-year contract to expire, and then each of them could live happily.

The weather is changeable in summer and a light rain suddenly comes, falling on the windowsill and splashing water.

"Zehao, this is their share transfer agreement." Gu Jiatong confidently and elegantly took out two documents and handed them to Xu Zehao.

Xu Zehao shook the red wine glass in his bony hands, his sharp eyes like a sword, "Jiatong, you did a good job."

"Your guess is correct. Your parents' death may not have been an accident. It was a man-made car accident."

"What did you find out?"

"I got the accident report from that year through my connections. The cause of the accident was that the road was slippery due to rain, the car did not react in time, the car was driving too fast and the brakes failed, the car hit the truck, and eventually the car was destroyed and the people died."

"There are two misleading misunderstandings here that make people think that this car accident was the main cause of the accident. One is that the road is slippery due to rain, and the other is that the car was driving too fast, causing brake failure."

Xu Zehao's eyes were filled with anger, "So what is the truth?"

"The truth is that your parents' car had been repaired before the accident. To be more precise, it was your mother's car that had been repaired before the accident. Later, it was your mother's car that had the accident."

Xu Zehao was slightly startled, as if his body was struck by an electric current, and every nerve ending was trembling. He spoke slowly with cold eyes: "So who is the murderer?"

"It's been too long, the repair shop has closed down, I'm looking for it, maybe there will be results soon."

"Where's Zhou Yian? How's the investigation into her case going?"

"She hasn't made any progress yet, but I'll get to it as soon as possible."

"Zehao, you...are going to get engaged?"

"No."

"But I read in the entertainment news that there are rumors that Xu and Qin are about to get married, so..."

Xu Zehao frowned slightly, "Aren't my words more credible than those written by the media?"

Gu Jiatong shrugged helplessly, "That's true."

"And this, give it to the media and make it clean." Xu Zehao put a USB flash drive in front of Gu Jiatong.

"What is this?" Gu Jiatong asked curiously.

"My gossip." Xu Zehao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression instantly became unfathomable. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it gave people a chilling feeling.

Gu Jiatong hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the USB drive and put it in her bag, "Okay."

After Xu Zehao separated from Gu Jiatong, he drove to the downstairs of Zhou Yian's company.

Zhou Yian was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard at a rapid speed. Suddenly, the cell phone at hand rang. She kept her eyes on the computer screen, picked up the phone and slid down the answer button.

"Hello."

"Come down, I'm downstairs in your company."

Zhou Yian was stunned. "Downstairs? Now?"

"Correct."

Zhou Yian was uneasy and asked again uncertainly, "Are you really down there?"

"Yes"

"But I'm at work."

"Have you forgotten what I said before?" His voice was cold and a little unhappy.

"Okay, I got it." Zhou Yian put down his phone and sat there for a while holding it.

Wang Jia saw Zhou Yian frowning and dazed after answering the phone, and couldn't help but poke her lightly with a pen: "Yian, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, nothing. I have something to do. I'll go ask Brother Hao for leave." Zhou Yian came to his senses and stood up.

After taking leave and coming downstairs, Zhou Yian saw Xu Zehao's car from a distance. After hesitating for a moment, she did not walk towards the intersection, but walked directly to the front of the car, opened the passenger door and sat in.

"Why don't you avoid suspicion today?"

"Everyone is at work, so no one can see us." Zhou Yian sat in the car, looking out the window all the time, and never looked at Xu Zehao directly.

Xu Zehao's eyes fell on her face and he curled his lips helplessly.

"Go for a walk with me."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yian still looked out the window.

"Are you unhappy? I called you out during work hours?"

"No, you're the boss, I should be available whenever you call." Zhou Yian laughed at herself helplessly. She knew that her status was very different from Xu Zehao's. She could only try her best to maintain her duty and respect.

Xu Zehao's face turned gloomy and he remained silent. The car became quiet and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Zhou Yian squinted his eyes and rested, while Xu Zehao drove silently, with no emotion on his cold face. Although the car drove for a long time, the two did not communicate at all.

Xu Zehao brought Zhou Yian to the edge of the city, an old town near the sea.

The buildings here are old, the streets are narrow and crowded, and there is a stale smell in the air. Fortunately, it is close to the sea, and the sea breeze blows slowly, bringing cool and freshness.

"What do you think of it here?" He looked at the sea not far away. The sea breeze blew towards him. His short hair swayed wildly in the wind. Unexpectedly, there was a hint of sadness on his handsome face.

Zhou Yian tucked the messy long hair behind his ears, looked around carefully, and slowly said, "Although this place looks old, it is quiet and peaceful, giving people a sense of peace of mind."

Xu Zehao chuckled, "Come with me."

Xu Zehao took her through several narrow streets and came to a dilapidated small courtyard. Xu Zehao pushed the door, and with a creaky sound, the door was actually pushed open.

The two walked in and were hit by a musty smell. There were some simple, old furniture inside, all covered in dust. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

Zhou Yian looked at the house curiously and couldn't help asking, "Why did you bring me here?"

A strange emotion flashed across Xu Zehao's eyes, and he was silent for a moment, "This is where I grew up when I was a child."

Zhou Yian was stunned, a little bit unbelievable, "You? Did you live here when you were a child?"

"Yes." Xu Zehao didn't seem willing to say more. After staying for a while, the two went to the beach.

"An An, do you...remember your childhood?" Xu Zehao hesitated to speak, looking a little lonely.

"When I was a kid? I was very boring when I was a kid, nothing memorable." Zhou Yian said seriously, not seeming to be joking at all.

Xu Zehao smiled helplessly and didn't ask any more questions. The two of them just walked slowly along the beach. The setting sun behind them stretched their shadows long and close to each other.
