The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

"Okay, okay, okay, this kid finally got it right."

In the Xu family's old house, the housekeeper was showing him the news about Xu Zehao and Miss Qin. He was smiling happily and looked relieved.

"Master, the young master and Miss Qin are so good-looking. Just standing there, they look a perfect match."

Mr. Xu was in a good mood and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, if the Qin family and the Xu family get married, the Xu family will be even more powerful."

Mr. Xu fully demonstrated the profit-oriented side of businessmen.

"Master, should we pay a formal visit to the Qin family?"

"No need. Since Zehao has already come to the rescue, let him go and make arrangements himself. You went on his behalf last time, so you have to let him go this time. We have to let the old couple of the Qin family see our Xu family's sincerity."

"Master, what you said makes sense. I didn't think it through."

"Zehao has behaved well these days and has become much more obedient. When the two families marry, my wish will come true and I will be able to rest assured."

A gust of wind blew, and the yellow leaves on the trees fluttered down to the ground, like a yellow carpet.

In a high-end restaurant, a handsome and elegant young couple sat in the bustling crowd, standing out from the crowd.

"What are your plans recently?" Qin Yinong cut the steak into small pieces with a knife and fork, and slowly put them into her mouth, eating elegantly and properly.

Xu Zehao said blandly, "Not yet. What about you, Miss Qin?"

"Now that our story has been exaggerated by the media and is being hyped up, won't you do something at this time?"

"Whatever, they can write whatever they want. I don't need to clarify. If you mind, I can publish a statement to clarify your innocence."

Qin Yinong put down the knife and fork in her hand, wiped the corner of her lips with a napkin, and smiled indifferently: "That's not necessary, I don't care, I'm just afraid of affecting my real sister-in-law."

Xu Zehao pursed his lips and said nothing. His eyes dimmed unconsciously. After a long while, he slowly said, "It has no effect."

"That's good. Thank you Mr. Xu for sending the order, which gave me the opportunity to cooperate with Xu's. The project in Xijiao is progressing very steadily now. If there are no accidents, it will be completed by the end of the month."

"Why are you saying these polite words? Merchants value profit, and this is a win-win situation. It's good for you and it's good for me. And just because you followed me and called me Brother Hao when we were little, I have to take care of you, right?"

"I've not seen you for so many years, I almost forgot about the past. I only remember that the last time you came to my house was after your parents passed away. You became very silent and kept people at a distance. You were quite cold and aloof."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not that sorry. I was a little more sensible at the time. I know you've been through some bad things, and I feel sorry for you."

"Let's put the past behind us and not talk about this anymore." Xu Zehao sighed, turned his head and looked out the window through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Suddenly, a familiar figure caught his eyes.

Zhou Yian was having dinner with someone in a Thai restaurant not far away. To be more precise, he was having dinner with a man, a young man with an elegant appearance.

The man looked polite, gentle and gentlemanly. He served her soup from time to time, and used a serving chopstick to pick up food for Zhou Yian from time to time. He took good care of her tenderly and attentively.

The two of them talked as they ate, sometimes chatting and sometimes smiling. Zhou Yian had a smile on his face and looked relaxed. Xu Zehao hadn't seen such a bright and happy Zhou Yian for a long time.

His face darkened instantly, and there was rage in his eyes like a raging storm, but he did not say anything. Instead, he watched everything in front of him calmly and calmly.

"I'm full, let's go."

"Okay." Xu Zehao turned to look at Qin Yinong with his usual expression.

"Yi'an, how about this Thai food? Does it suit your taste?" Wen Junru saw Zhou Yi'an put down her chopsticks and quickly handed her a tissue.

Zhou Yian reached out to take the tissue and smiled, "It's delicious. Thank you for spending money, Boss Wen. We originally agreed to treat you, but now you have to pay the bill."

"You're welcome. It's my honor to treat you to a meal. This cooperation is very successful. I am especially looking forward to the next cooperation with your company."

"I'm very sorry about this. Originally, Mr. Chen was going to come to inspect the site, but unfortunately he had an urgent matter and had to go back halfway. Please forgive me." Zhou Yian said and nodded slightly to apologize to Wen Junru.

"It's okay. Your CEO Chen has already explained it to me. There's nothing I can do even if it's urgent. I have to thank him. Otherwise, how could I have the chance to treat you to a meal alone?"

Zhou Yian smiled unnaturally, looked at the trees outside the window and changed the subject, "The weather has changed very quickly recently, and the leaves have turned a lot yellower. Winter is coming soon."

Wen Junru echoed, "Indeed, it's windy today and getting colder. I wonder if it will rain."

"Let's go now. The days are short and the nights are long. It will get dark soon. We should be prepared to make it there in time."

"Okay, let's go now. You wait for me at the door and I'll go to the parking lot and drive the car out."

In the evening, the wind grew stronger and stronger, the sky became darker and darker, and black clouds shrouded the city, giving people a depressing atmosphere.

"Yi'an, it looks like it's going to rain soon. Don't take a taxi. I'll take you back." After the inspection, the two came out of the site. Wen Junru looked at the gray sky and was worried that Zhou Yi'an couldn't get a taxi.

Zhou Yian looked up at the sky, then looked at the deserted streets. People were hurrying along with their heads down to avoid the rain.

She seemed a little hesitant. If she didn't take his car, it would be difficult to get a taxi when it rained. But if she took his car, they were not going the same way and he would have to take a long detour.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen, but it seems we are not going the same way. I will wait here for a while, I should be able to get a taxi."

"Stop fighting. I'll take you there. I have a car, so it's okay if I take a detour." After saying that, Wen Junru drove the car over and stopped next to Zhou Yian.

Zhou Yian couldn't persuade him, so he had to get into his car. Sure enough, not long after the car started, heavy rain poured down, and the water droplets hit the ground, creating a layer of mist.

Zhou Yian looked at the heavy rain outside the car window and sighed, "Fortunately, if it weren't for you, I would have been soaked to the skin. The rain came so suddenly."

"You, don't be so polite. Let's put aside our partnership. We are also alumni. Don't be so distant."

Originally, Zhou Yian wanted him to drop him off at the gate of Nanwan Community, but the rain was too heavy and he couldn't persuade Wen Junru.

He drove the car downstairs, and in order to prevent Zhou Yian from getting wet in the rain, he considerately walked from the driver's seat to the passenger seat with an umbrella to pick her up. A small umbrella could not withstand the strong wind and rain tonight, so he put his arm around her shoulders and tried his best to move the umbrella towards her side to prevent her from getting wet in the rain.

What they didn't know was that on the dark second-floor balcony, there were eyes behind the curtains staring at them silently. The dark eyes revealed a cold and chilling feeling that made people's backs chill.

"Thank you for taking me home. It's a great bother for you, but it's too late today and it's not very convenient. I... I won't invite you to come in and sit at my house."

There was a flash of disappointment in Wen Junru's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood. It was quiet here and the lights at home were not on, which meant that she was still single and there was still a long way to go and he still had a chance.

Wen Junru smiled and said, "It's okay. You've been running all day and the weather is not good. Your clothes are a little wet. Go back and take a good shower and rest. I'll leave first.

After saying that, Wen Junru ran back to the car with an umbrella. Only after seeing his car drive out of the courtyard gate did she take out the key and open the door.

"what…"

Just after entering the room and before she even had time to turn on the light, Zhou Yian was grabbed by the neck. The man was very strong and fast, and threw her heavily against the wall. The sudden pain made her gasp. She was pinned to the wall and could not move.

The man strangled her neck with one hand and pulled her hair with the other hand to force her to lean back. Her scalp was numb and painful from the violent pulling. She couldn't see the man's face in the dark, but she could strongly feel his murderous intent.
