Soon after…

Guan Qingqing described what happened.

She told her everything from the moment Su Chen carried Zhou Wanqiu out to the moment they got rid of the poison in the hotel room.

She told her about leaving to buy her clothes.

Zhou Wanqiu stopped crying.

“You mean, I wasn’t violated?”

Zhou Wanqiu looked incredulous.

The country bumpkin she hated had saved her and detoxified her.

In the end, she slapped him!

At this moment, Zhou Wanqiu flushed.

She wanted to call Su Chen right now to apologize, but she felt a little embarrassed.

“Wanqiu, I think Su Chen is a good person. Although he’s a little weird, he seems like a good person!”

“Right. Where did he go?”Guan Qingqing asked.

Zhou Wanqiu was a little embarrassed.

She was too embarrassed to say that she had chased Su Chen away.

“Well, he… He saw that I was fine, so he left!”

Zhou Wanqiu said awkwardly.

Guan Qingqing was stunned.

She felt that something was amiss, but she didn’t think much of it.

“Yes! Maybe he thought it would be weird to stick around when you’re awake!”

” Wanqiu, I bought you some clothes. Put them on! ”

“Your grandpa and dad will be here soon!”Guan Qingqing said.

“My grandfather and the others are coming? I’ll quickly get changed!”

Zhou Wanqiu quickly got changed.

Guan Qingqing was indeed Zhou Wanqiu’s best friend. The clothes she bought fit her well and suited her tastes.

Most importantly, she looked like she usually did.

Most wouldn’t even notice that these weren’t her clothes.

Before long…

Zhou Rongchang, Zhou Pingjiang, and Zhao Guirong arrived. They were happy to see Zhou Wanqiu.

When they first learned that Zhou Wanqiu had been taken away, the three of them were terrified.

Now that she was in front of them, they were relieved.

The family drove back in the car.

When they got home, Zhou Rongchang started to question Zhou Wanqiu.

When he heard that He Junying had attacked Zhou Wanqiu, Zhou Rongchang was furious.

“This He family is so shameless! Is this about the bid for Tianhao Group’s new factory? Did they need to take things to this despicable extent?”

“In that case, our family must fight with the He family!”

“We will compete for Qin Wentian’s Tianhao Group and get it!”

Zhou Pingjiang’s expression was sour as well. He said, “Yes! We have to compete head-on with the He family!”

“I’ll call Wu Yiqi now. His company is connected to the Qin family and Tianhao Group.”

“I heard that the Qin family is holding a business cocktail party tomorrow. I’ll ask him if he can help us get an invitation. This way, we can get in touch with the Qin family!”

Hearing the name “Wu Yiqi”, Zhou Rongchang frowned.

“Wu Yiqi?” he asked. “Are you close? I thought you had a falling out.”

Zhou Pingjiang’s expression darkened.

Wu Yiqi was his close friend, and their friendship was quite good.

However, a year ago, Wu Yiqi suddenly suggested that his son, Wu Renxing, should get married to Zhou Wanqiu.

In the end, not only did Zhou Wanqiu object, but Zhou Rongchang also objected.

This matter was left unsettled.

Since then, Wu Yiqi had mocked Zhou Pingjiang a few times, and they had a falling out.

“That’s right! Dad. Will Mr. Wu help us?” Zhou Wanqiu also looked worried.

“I’ll try!” Zhou Pingjiang gritted his teeth. “We’ve been good friends for many years. Our friendship shouldn’t end because of this small issue!”

“Plus, we don’t know anyone else who is in contact with Qin Wentian!”

Zhou Wanqiu fell silent.

She had no idea that Su Chen was very close to Qin Wentian and Qin Yaoyao. How would she react if she found out?

Zhou Pingjiang immediately called Wu Yiqi.

The call went through very quickly.

“Yo! Brother Zhou, you’re actually calling me!” Wu Yiqi’s voice was a little mocking.

“I missed you, bro!” Zhou Pingjiang smiled awkwardly.

The two of them chatted awkwardly for a long time before Zhou Pingjiang finally got to the point.

“Brother, I need a favor. I know you have a partnership with the Qin family’s Tianhao Group. Can you get me a few invitations for the Qin family’s business cocktail party tomorrow?”

Zhou Pingjiang was very humble.

Wu Yiqi laughed and said, “Sure! You’re practically my brother!”

“Hey, hey! Thank you, bro! I’ll definitely make it up to you later!”

“Don’t mention it!”

They hung up.

In the Wu family’s villa…

Wu Yiqi put down the phone.

He sneered. “Idiot! You want an invitation to the Qin family’s cocktail party? I wasn’t born yesterday. I know you want to get the contract for Tianhao Group’s new factory! Dream on!”

Sitting opposite Wu Yiqi was a young man with a pockmarked face. It was his son, Wu Renxing.

“Dad, who is it?” Wu Renxing asked.

“Zhou Pingjiang!” Wu Yiqi pursed his lips.

“Zhou Wanqiu’s father?” Wu Renxing exclaimed. “Why did he call you? Why didn’t you mention Zhou Wanqiu? It was a good opportunity to bring up the marriage! Zhou Wanqiu is so beautiful!”

“Yes, she’s beautiful, but does she fancy you?” Wu Yiqi reprimanded.

Wu Renxing didn’t dare to say more.

Wu Yiqi continued, “This old man called because he wanted me to get him invitations to the Qin family’s cocktail party. Then, he wants to connect with the Qin family and bid for the cafeteria of Tianhao Group’s new factory!”

“However, He Catering Group is about to claim it. There’s no hope for the Zhou Catering Group!”

“Then why didn’t you just say so?” Wu Renxing asked.

“Are you stupid?” Wu Yiqi scolded. “If I say that, he won’t owe me a favor.”

“In two days, I’ll tell him how much I had to spend for them. Then, he’ll owe me big time. Isn’t that good?”

Wu Renxing gave him a thumbs-up and said casually, “Dad, you’re really a cunning old man!”

“What?” Wu Yiqi was stunned. ” F*ck you! Who says that about their father?”

He kicked Wu Renxing, and they started fighting.

Screams came from inside the Wu family’s villa.

Meanwhile, at the Zhou family villa…

After Zhou Pingjiang put down the phone, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

“Alright, we’ve done everything we can! Fate will decide if we get to go to the Qin family’s business cocktail party!” Zhou Pingjiang said.

“By the way, Wanqiu, where’s Su Chen?” Zhou Rongchang asked.

Zhou Wanqiu shivered when she heard this question.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Rongchang noticed how strange she was acting.

Zhou Wanqiu lowered her head and mumbled, “Su Chen… Uh… I hit him and scared him away!”

“What?” Zhou Rongchang was furious. “What happened? Explain yourself!”

“Calm down, Dad. Don’t scare her,” Zhou Pingjiang said quickly. “Let her explain.”

Zhou Rongchang suppressed his anger.

Zhou Wanqiu, on the other hand, timidly recounted what happened after she woke up.

She also told her father and grandfather what her best friend Guan Qingqing had told her.

Bang!

Zhou Rongchang slammed his palm on the table.

“Wanqiu, you’re too much!” he said angrily. “Su Chen saved you and cured you, but you hit him and scolded him! Is this how we raised you?”

“Dad, calm down!” Zhou Pingjiang quickly tried to diffuse his anger. “Wanqiu must’ve been confused. She had just woken up!”

Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes reddened as she explained in a low voice, “I was wrong. I know I made a mistake, Grandpa!”

“What’s the use of telling me? Call Su Chen and apologize to him!” Zhou Rongchang said angrily.

“Okay!” Zhou Wanqiu nodded.

She quickly took out her phone and called Su Chen!
