The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO
Chapter 130 How about being your bodyguard?
"Ms. Nie Zheng, do you have anything to say?"
Nie Zheng was almost dizzy from all the drama. Facing the reporters' questions, she knew she should just say something meaningless.
"My brother is right. I support my brother."
I don't know who started it, but there was a burst of sparse applause from the audience.
Black is said to be white, and white is said to be black. Nie Zheng is increasingly confused about the rules of this world.
Even though she knew it was a lie, Nie Zheng's heart still skipped a beat. She didn't know what she was expecting, nor did she know what she was lucky enough to get.
Every word, sentence, and punctuation mark spoken by Chong Jianzhi and I today will spread far away like the wind.
The road ahead will become increasingly difficult, and the identities of the two siblings will become increasingly difficult to break. Once you tell a lie, you will use countless lies to cover up the first lie. It will go on and on until you are finally exposed and can no longer lie.
Nie Zheng felt inexplicably sad, but she also felt fortunate. At least the crisis had been safely overcome, and the inappropriate thoughts in her mind became a little safer because of this thorough clarification.
And she shouldn't have to get engaged to Qiao Li anymore.
But I didn't expect that things were not that simple at all.
Counting the days, Grandpa Qiao Li’s birthday party is this weekend.
Nie Zheng felt terrified when she heard about the birthday party. The memory of more than four years ago was still fresh in her mind. The panic of being trapped on the bed and Chong Jianzhi's harsh words were like a nightmare that she would never wake up from.
The invitation fell on her hand, but Nie Zheng didn't even want to take it. She took two steps back and asked Qiao Li sincerely, "Tell me the truth, can I not go to this birthday party?"
Qiao Li was amused by her fearful look: "It's up to you, but you'd better go. After all, Touyun has just been restarted, and it's a good thing for you to socialize with more people."
"Where's my brother..."
In such occasions, she couldn't do without Chong Jianzhi. She was most afraid of greeting strangers. If Chong Jianzhi could be by her side, she would feel much more at ease.
"Your brother is going to the neighboring city. I heard that Mr. Chen's son had some problems again, so he went to deal with it."
Qiao Li did not lie when he said this. He was originally worried that if Chong Jianzhi went to the birthday party, everything would be difficult.
Unexpectedly, Chong Jianzhi was really in trouble. Old Chen's son was a sickly child, so Chong Jianzhi was unlucky.
"Okay..." She curled her lips, looking reluctant.
"It's a birthday party, not a Hongmen Banquet." Qiao Li saw her embarrassment and actually thought it was a little cute. "Then I will follow you throughout the whole process and be your accompanying bodyguard, okay?"
Nie Zheng was not happy about what Qiao Li said, she just shook her head and said, "Not good."
What she was thinking was that she hoped these older generations wouldn't cause any trouble.
The night before the birthday party, Chong Jianzhi drove to the neighboring city.
Nie Zheng was pulled over by Qiao Li to try on a dress. He said she just picked one at random, but in fact, the dress was custom-made by Qiao Li and the designer according to her size.
The hero loves Wuming the most. When he saw Nie Zheng marveling at how the clothes could fit her so well, Qiao Li just sat back and smiled without saying anything.
After trying on the dress, the two walked to the underground garage. Qiao Li did not take the initiative to speak, so Nie Zheng spoke first.
In fact, it was more like a test. Nie Zheng didn't know what Qiao Li was thinking, because she didn't know, so she had the fear of the unknown.
"You just fell from the sky. Compared to you, the hero-saving-the-beauty scenes in those movies are so weak."
Qiao Li smiled and held the elevator door that had just opened for Nie Zheng, allowing her to go in first.
"Fortunately my brother solved the problem, otherwise I would have really forced you to get engaged to me, and I would have been so sorry to you."
Qiao Li still smiled: "You are really sorry for me if you say that. Nie Zheng, you really know how to poke at my heart. If I say a few more words to you, my heart will be more broken than dumpling filling."
"No, I just want to thank you." Nie Zheng could only use a joke to diffuse the slightly awkward atmosphere, "We are getting engaged, and you are the one who suffers."
Qiao Li stopped talking at this time and waited until the two got in the car. Before starting the car, he said quietly: "Try to order it."
The voice was so soft that Nie Zheng couldn't even hear it clearly.
The birthday banquet was approaching, and Chong Jianzhi went to the neighboring city because of Mr. Chen's beloved son. He said that the son had woken up and was clamoring to be transferred to another hospital. Mr. Chen was unhappy and insisted on calling Chong Jianzhi over, to put it bluntly, to torment him.
Chong Jianzhi also knew what was going on. He didn't give Chen Lao the money, but he had to save face. As he didn't have much work to do these days, he drove to the neighboring city.
He naturally had to be absent from Mr. Qiao's birthday party. He asked Richard to personally deliver the jadeite that he had asked someone to bring back from Phakant to the door. The gift had to be more valuable if the person was not there.
On the day of the birthday party, Qiao Li sent a car to pick her up. He was wearing a black tuxedo and stood by the car door with his hands in his pockets, attracting the attention of passers-by. Most of the pedestrians around were going home from get off work to buy groceries. Seeing such a big scene, everyone couldn't help but turn around to take a few more glances. Nie Zheng was wearing a long dress that dragged on the ground, and she was still communicating with her subordinates on the phone about work. The scene was just like filming a TV series.
The batch of agarwood shipped from Huluyi has finally arrived at the factory. Touyun still has not put it into machine assembly line operation. Hundreds of incense-making workers are cleaning, grinding and screening the raw materials, and every step cannot go wrong.
"You don't have to work hard today." Qiao Li opened the car door, protected Nie Zheng's head, and waited for everyone to get into the car. He walked around the car, opened the door on the other side, and got in.
"There are too many things to do. There is nothing I can do."
She shook her head helplessly, a hint of fatigue showing in her expression.
"You don't have any makeup on?"
Nie Zheng said "Hmm?", took out her phone and took a picture, then said, "I put on makeup, can't you see that?"
Qiao Li took a closer look and found that the other person was indeed wearing makeup, but it was the lightest makeup possible.
At a banquet like this, every socialite invited to attend would like to turn her face into a canvas, and the more colorful the makeup, the better, so that she can outshine the crowd of beautiful women in such an occasion.
But the face of Nie Zheng in front of him was surprisingly clean, and her hair was just casually draped.
"Didn't the makeup artist I found for you come?"
Nie Zheng just hung up the phone and replied absentmindedly: "He came, but I happened to have a job at the company and it was too late to put on makeup, so I let him go first."
At this moment, Qiao Li recalled the time when he attended a banquet with Yao Ran and she was sulking with himself for a week because he didn't invite the best makeup artist in the country to do her makeup.
People say that the two look alike, but in fact they are not alike at all. Yao Ran is like a colorful oil painting, while Nie Zheng is just a blank piece of paper.
Thinking of this, Qiao Li looked at Nie Zheng with a deeper look in his eyes, without even noticing it.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, the two did not go up together. Qiao Li received a work call and was dealing with it downstairs, so Nie Zheng came up alone first.
