The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

Nie Zheng nodded. "She came to me and said that summer is coming soon, and she wanted me to make her a sachet to repel mosquitoes and refresh her mind. The recipe for the sachet is very simple. I used cloves, chuanxiong, raw mugwort floss, Dahongpao and borneol... Could her hospitalization be related to the sachet I gave her?"

"I'm going to the hospital, you stay at home."

"There's absolutely no problem with the sachet I made for her! To avoid any misunderstanding, I'll go with you."

"You stay at home." Chong Jianzhi didn't even turn his head, but repeated what he just said, with a heavier tone and a strong command, "Don't get involved in this matter, stay away from Qiao Xing."

"Nie Zheng, your brother can handle it, so you should just review your lessons at home."

Lou Fan saw through Chong Jianzhi's thoughts, and also saw the implicit hostility between Qiao Xing and Nie Zheng. If Nie Zheng went with them, things would only become more complicated.

Faced with Chong Jianzhi's tough attitude, Nie Zheng could no longer argue with him. After watching the two leave, she felt very nervous.

Waiting is a painful thing. Two hours later, Nie Zheng forced herself to finish a math test. Looking at the paper full of wrong questions, she picked up her mobile phone and called Chong Jianzhi.

When the call was connected, it was not Chong Jianzhi's voice, but Lou Fan's.

"Your brother is in the ward with Qiao Xing. When the young lady saw Lao Chong coming, she hugged him and wouldn't let go. She cried so aggrievedly. Now I finally managed to coax her down. Lao Chong gave me his phone and asked me to call you and tell you not to worry and go to sleep quickly."

Lou Fan deliberately avoided the main topic and ignored Nie Zheng's question, but his attitude had already given Nie Zheng the answer.

"So she really used my sachet to be hospitalized? What's wrong with her? How about I go to the hospital to find you now? The recipe of the sachet is clean and there's no way there's a problem—"

"Oh, my ancestor, please stop making trouble." Lou Fan sighed, as if he had no way to deal with Nie Zheng. "To tell you the truth, Qiao Xing was indeed hospitalized because of your sachet. He said that he felt dizzy and nauseous after smelling your sachet, and he vomited. The symptoms were quite serious. After being hospitalized, the doctor diagnosed it as mild lead poisoning. Qiao Xing was very efficient and directly sent someone to take the sachet to the testing center to inspect the ingredients, and then... a large amount of artificial fragrance was detected in the sachet."

"How is that possible? There's no way I can put something like that in the sachet I made!"

"Nie Zheng, don't get involved in this matter. Your brother can handle it."

Lou Fan was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to explain to Nie Zheng. After all, this was just a play directed and performed by Qiao Xing. It didn't matter whether Nie Zheng did it or not or what the truth was. Everyone just needed to cooperate with her.

Chong Jianzhi had to give Qiao Xing this face. Since the acquisition of Lin's, the conflict of interests between the two has become increasingly deep. In the short term, it is impossible for Chong Jianzhi to fall out with Qiao Xing.

Nie Zheng doesn't understand the interests involved in the business world. She is simple-minded and thinks that right is right and wrong is wrong.

No one slept that night.

Qiao Xing was lying on the hospital bed crying to Chong Jianzhi, asking him to give her an explanation. Chong Jianzhi saw through her but didn't say anything. He let her act on and just asked her lightly, "What explanation do you want?"

"You need to make your baby sister apologize to me!"

Chong Jianzhi rubbed his temples, his expression somewhat gloomy, but he still said patiently: "Can I apologize to you on her behalf?"

"Do you feel so sorry for her? You can't even let her say sorry?"

Chong Jianzhi didn't want to continue to tangle with her, so he changed the subject and said, "Haven't you always wanted to join the Deep Sea Club? I have some connections with the Qi family. They're having a meeting with the Meteorite Group next weekend, and I can take you there."

The Deep Sea Club is an organization that all entrepreneurs in Ningjiang want to join. The companies in the club cover various fields, which also provides entrepreneurs who join the club with excellent opportunities for industrial expansion.

Connections are resources, and capital game is essentially a gamble. To put it bluntly, in Ningjiang, only by joining the Deep Sea Club can you have a chance to "get at the table."

Membership of the Deep Sea Club can only be gained through recommendation, and organizer Qi Yuze only allows three people to join each year.

Qiao Xing didn't know that Chong Jianzhi had already become a member of the Deep Sea Club, and he just happened to have a recommendation spot this year.

"Really?"

"I keep my word."

"Jianzhi, I'll leave it to you~" Qiao Xing's tone finally softened, and she put her arms around Chong Jianzhi again, "I feel like I'm almost well again, so please help me get discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"it is good."

On the other side, Nie Zheng finally survived a tough night. After the evening class, she just got home and saw the person she least wanted to see, Qiao Xing.

The other party had just been discharged from the hospital. His face was still very pale and he looked like a weak willow, as if he had really been badly hurt by himself.

"Ms. Qiao," Nie Zheng asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

"Nie Zheng, I know you don't like me, but you can't hurt me like this, right? The sachet has caused me so much trouble. Do you know how much work I have to deal with every day?"

"My recipe is very clean. I can't possibly put industrial fragrance in it—"

"Stop." Qiao Xing waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want to hear you quibble here. If you still have some conscience, stop causing trouble for your brother. I'm your future sister-in-law, you shouldn't scheme against me like this."

Nie Zheng was hit in the sore spot and became emotional: "I didn't!"

"What's the noise?"

Chong Jianzhi slowly came down from upstairs, holding a document in his hand. Looking at the two people arguing, his expression was already filled with a hint of anger: "Nie Zheng, apologize to her."

Nie Zheng didn't react at all. She stared blankly at Chong Jianzhi on the stairs, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"Didn't you hear me? Apologize."

"I didn't do it, why should I apologize?"

Chong Jianzhi took a deep breath, his face showing extreme impatience. He threw the document in his hand directly to the ground, hitting the teak shelf next to the coffee table.

"Apologize."

Nie Zheng looked at the broken vase on the ground beside her, then looked at Chong Jianzhi who was so indifferent, and suddenly became calm and smiled faintly.

"sorry."

After saying that, Nie Zheng stepped on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, walked past Chong Jianzhi and went upstairs.

Chong Jianzhi almost crushed the handrail of the stairs, but his expression remained calm: "Let's go."

He said to Qiao Xing.

When they arrived at the underground garage, Chong Jianzhi held the steering wheel but did not start the car.

Qiao Xing felt a little uneasy and glanced at Chong Jianzhi: "Aren't you leaving?"

"Why do you still want to embarrass Nie Zheng?"

"How could I? I didn't ask her to apologize to me. You forced her to apologize to me. What does this have to do with me?"

"Qiao Xing, you and I both know the truth of this matter. I asked her to apologize to you today so that she would learn her lesson and not be so foolish as to trust others without knowing that she was framed."

"What do you mean……"

"Also, you know the true nature of our relationship. Don't get too involved in the drama, and don't push it too far." At this point, Chong Jianzhi slowly started the car, "Don't bother Nie Zheng again, or I will be rude to you."

Qiao Xing's nails dug deep into her palms. The more Chong Jianzhi defended Nie Zheng, the more jealous she became.
