The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

Nie Zheng nodded. She lowered her head to look at her phone and discussed with Qiao Li: "It's noon. I'll treat you to a meal."

"You've paid the rent, so it's my turn to treat you to a meal."

"What? These are two completely different things!"

"The company is doing well lately, and I can always afford to treat you to a meal."

Qiao Li knew that Nie Zheng was worried about Li Xing's situation. As he was the president of Li Xing, it was not convenient for him to reveal more to her. He could only use jokes to say what he wanted to say so that she could feel more at ease.

The two walked out of the community side by side. Nie Zheng had been wearing high heels for the whole morning, and her heel was rubbed a little, making it very difficult for her to walk.

Qiao Li noticed something and looked down at Nie Zheng's ankles. "What were you thinking? You came out to look at the house wearing high heels."

Nie Zheng explained somewhat awkwardly: "I brushed all the flat shoes."

Qiao Li shook his head, took the bag from her hand, turned his back to Nie Zheng and bent over: "Get in, I'll carry you to the parking lot."

He kept bending over and waiting for a long time, but still didn't see Nie Zheng coming up. He couldn't help but look back: "What? Come up."

She didn't want to be so intimate with him, so she just smiled and shook her head: "Forget it, the parking lot is very close, I can walk there by myself."

When facing Qiao Li, she was still a little distant and instinctively resisted physical contact with him.

This made Qiao Li a little depressed.

But he hid his frustration very well, reorganized his expression, turned around and said to Nie Zheng: "Wait for me."

After saying that, he turned around and ran into the supermarket at the entrance of the community. Less than two minutes later, he came out of the supermarket.

He was holding two pairs of slippers in his hands.

"Put it on." Qiao Li handed her the pink pair. "I was afraid you would be embarrassed, so I bought a pair for you to wear together."

At this moment, the originally intimidating young master Li Xing was wearing expensive clothes and a pair of cheap plastic slippers.

Nie Zheng walked side by side with him on the way to the garage. She stared at the slippers on their feet, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. Qiao Li had never treated her as a superior, but was very approachable, and even accommodated her to avoid her psychological burden.

In the car, Qiao Li's cell phone kept vibrating. He looked down several times but didn't answer it. He didn't know how many times it rang, but he finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the phone and impatiently swiped to answer it.

The moment he answered the phone, his voice became extremely calm, as if it had been deliberately packaged: "Grandpa, what's the matter? I'm at the company."

Nie Zheng couldn't hear clearly what was said on the phone, she only saw Qiao Li's face becoming increasingly worse, as if he wanted to get angry but was holding back.

The red light turned into green, Qiao Li stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out. The phone was not hung up yet, and she was a little worried about the safety of both of them, so she couldn't help but touch Qiao Li's arm.

The other party instantly noticed Nie Zheng's nervousness, took a deep breath, and the car finally slowed down.

"Grandpa, I can handle my own affairs, don't worry."

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Li's grandfather seemed a little excited, and his voice suddenly increased, even Nie Zheng heard a little.

"Get away from her right now!"

"Let's do this for now, I'm hanging up."

Although she only heard this sentence, she still felt that Grandpa Qiao Li's call should be related to her.

Now that Li Xing is suffering, Chong Jianzhi knows that he won't give face to anyone. Grandpa Qiao Li came forward to act as a peacemaker, but he must have been rejected. The source of all this lies with himself.

"Qiao Li..."

She hesitated.

"You don't have to worry about these things. They have nothing to do with you. This is a matter between Chong Jianzhi and me. Even if you weren't there, with Chong Jianzhi's ambition, he would have taken action against Li Xing."

She wanted to say something else, but Qiao Li just patted her arm.

The action was more like a comfort.

"Don't worry about it. I can handle it."

Qiao Li was like this, always able to make people feel at ease. She really didn't want to embarrass him like this, and thought that if Chong Jianzhi continued to be so aggressive, perhaps it would be best for Qiao Li if she stayed away from him.

Just like four years ago, Chong Jianzhi forced himself to stay away from Fan Minzhe.

This time, before Nie Zheng made a decision, Qiao Li seemed to know what she was thinking and said to her, "If you really want to help me, stay by my side. Don't think about ignoring me or staying away from me. If you do that, I will be very sad."

Nie Zheng was shocked. She couldn't believe that Qiao Li knew what she was thinking. "You are really...Okay, I promise you."

Just after parting with Qiao Li, Nie Zheng found the atmosphere inexplicably strange as soon as she got home.

Under normal circumstances, Chong Jianzhi would not stay at home in the afternoon even on weekends. But today, not only was he at home, but Richard was also there.

As if there was something urgent, Chong Jianzhi was on the phone all the time. Richard was sorting some documents in the study. After he finished, he waited quietly at the door for him to hang up the phone.

"Boss Chong, everything is ready. We can set off now."

Chong Jianzhi hummed softly, and there was a sense of fatigue in his tone.

Seeing Nie Zheng standing aside, Richard politely greeted her: "Ms. Nie Zheng, President Chong and I are going to Zhanzhou for a few days."

Chong Jianzhi didn't say anything and went out first. Seeing him leave, Nie Zheng felt it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so she quickly took out a medicine bottle from her bag and handed it to Richard: "My brother's stomach medicine, I heard from Aunt Wang last night that he was about to finish it, so I went out today and bought a bottle at the pharmacy."

"You should give it directly to Mr. Chong." Richard took the medicine and shook his head, "He always thinks you don't care about him."

That night, Nie Zheng always felt uneasy, as if something had happened again. She tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep even after lighting some soul-soothing incense.

Finally, when it was dawn, she quickly called Richard.

"Is my brother okay?"

Faced with Nie Zheng's incoherent questioning, Richard was a little confused and subconsciously answered that it was nothing. In order to prevent Nie Zheng from having any more wild thoughts, he decided to tell her what had happened.

"Fu Yunsheng had a sudden heart attack last night and passed away."

What? Fu Yunsheng passed away...

Before Fu Yunsheng was taken from Zhanzhou to the sanatorium in Ningjiang by Chong Jianzhi, Nie Zheng often went to see him. At that time, although Fu Yunsheng was a little conscious, his mental state was still good. How could he suddenly die of a heart attack?

When I came to my senses, Richard had hung up the phone.

Chong Jianzhi went to Zhanzhou this time to arrange Fu Yunsheng's funeral. The old man's son was not a good person and refused to show up even after the old man passed away. Chong Jianzhi was able to take over single-handedly.

He buried Fu Yunsheng next to his father and mother. On the day of the burial, it suddenly began to rain, and the rain was heavy and fierce, and the wind blew on his face like a knife.

Looking at the three gray-white photos on the tombstone, his chest suddenly felt a little tight. Touyun's incense recipe has still not been found, and fewer and fewer people know it now. Maybe... no one knows it anymore.
