Song Zhou didn’t dress up when he went to the Ruan residence. It was something that he and Ruan Qi had agreed on.

She said that her mother was too money-minded, and he didn’t need to pretend, or her mother would kick up a big fuss.

Song Zhou wanted to say that he did not have to pretend. He actually had some money. It would not be a problem for him to support her and their baby.

But he went along with Ruan Qi and dressed plainly to look young. He did not expect Ruan Xue to call him a pauper and a piece of trash. He felt slightly annoyed.

After they got home, Song Zhou asked Ruan Qi to rest while he turned on his laptop to start dealing with the Ruan and Ma families.

Ruan Hao wanted to work with the Ma family, so he used Ruan Qi to suck up to Ma Baomu. Such a ridiculous deal was laughable.

Coincidentally, the Ma family was business partners with one of the subsidiaries of Jiang Corporation. They weren’t exactly a big company but they supplied Jiang Corporation with very important raw materials. Without Ma family’s supply, their entire supply chain would be affected.

Of course, if the Ma family went under and the subsidiary was agile, they could easily replace the Ma family with another supplier.

But the situation now was that the upper echelons of Jiang Corporation were dealing with a crisis. All employees, including those in the subsidiaries, were in a state of panic. Overall employee productivity was probably compromised.

He told Jiang Jingchen about this. Jiang Jingchen stared at his computer distractedly with his chin propped.

“Although ants are small, they can destroy a thousand-mile-long dam if they find a breach.”

Song Zhou pondered over his words. “Young Master, the Ma family is an established business. I’ve checked the company inside and out and can’t find any major problems with their production line.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. “Carpenter ants can shake giant trees.”

Carpenter ants could tunnel into wood and destroy the structural integrity of trees.

Song Zhou was frustrated. His young master was too biased. He was full of words when he spoke to his wife but so stingy with words when he spoke to him.

“Young Master, do you mean that I should attack the Ma family?”

“The patriarch of the Ma family is a good person. The husband and wife are loving, but the son they raised is disappointing and has achieved nothing. He’s already 25 and still idles around all day.”

“The Ma family has also spread the word that they’d work with any family who would marry their daughter to Ma Baomu. That’s why the Ruan family set Ruan Qi up on a blind date with him.”

“I think it’s easier to deal with Ma Baomu.”

Jiang Jingchen turned on his laptop and said coldly, “I’ll let you handle your own love rival.”

Song Zhou had seen through his way of valuing women over friends.

“… Then I’ll go do something.”

He left the study and went to find Ji Er.

Ji Er was Ji Yi’s subordinate, a woman.

Ji Er rode her Harley over in a leather jacket. She took off her helmet and said to Song Zhou with a smile, “Song Zhou, don’t tell me you asked me here to talk about life and relieve your loneliness because your wife is pregnant…”

Song Zhou’s face was cold. “Cut the crap and go do your job. My wife and I are very happy together.”

Ji Er pouted. “I was just kidding. You don’t have to be so mean. You weren’t like this before, Song Zhou.”

Song Zhou was helpless. “Don’t kid around with me. Let’s go find Ma Baomu.”

Ji Er parked her bike to ride in Song Zhou’s car. As she opened the door to the front passenger seat, she saw Song Zhou throw a piece of clothing onto the seat.

“What’s this?”

Ji Er was stunned. He was clearly using the piece of clothing to prevent her from riding shotgun.

When she worked with Song Zhou before, she always rode shotgun.

Song Zhou pursed his lips. “This seat belongs to my wife. Please sit in the back.”

Ji Er gritted her teeth. “Don’t be ridiculous. Your wife isn’t here. It’s not going to kill her if I ride shotgun.”

Although Ji Er said this, she still sat in the back.

When they arrived at a shopping mall, Song Zhou got out to bring her in.

“What are we doing now?” Ji Er said lazily with her arms crossed. She was just short of whistling at him with a lollipop in her mouth.

“I’m buying you some new clothes. If you want to flirt with Ma Baomu, you must act like a lady and look pure and innocent.”

Ji Er rolled her eyes in disdain. “If you wanted someone pure and innocent, why did you look for me? You should have look for Third Brother. He looks more beautiful than me when he dresses up as a woman!”

Song Zhou rotated his wrist and took out his phone. “If you don’t cooperate, I’ll call Young Master.”

“Eh, you. You b*stard. I was just kidding with you and you threatened me?”

Ji Er panicked. She didn’t want to be punished by Mr. Chen.

Song Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked, “So, are you going to change your clothes or not?”

Ji Er snorted coldly. “You’ve already dropped Mr. Chen’s name. Do I have a choice? I’ll dance naked in front of you if I have to, let alone change my clothes.”

Song Zhou frowned and rubbed his brows as he reminded her patiently, “Who wants to see you dance naked? Why haven’t you changed after so many years? I have a wife now. Please watch your words in the future.”

A hint of hurt flashed across Ji Er’s eyes when she heard this, but she quickly recovered. She even made faces at him and reluctantly took some new clothes to change into.

Ji Er was of mixed blood, with well-defined facial features and a curvaceous figure. She was a very beautiful woman.

She changed into a white dress, put on some light makeup and wore her hair up. If she restrained her gaze, she looked like a young and beautiful university student.

Despite her wearing a dress, Ji Er didn’t restrain the way she walked as she put her hands on her hips unhappily and stared at the high heels Song Zhou was holding.

“I’m not wearing those!”

Song Zhou crossed his arms and gave her the shoes. “I’ll give you five minutes to decide if you’ll put them on.”

Ji Er clenched her fists in anger, but she put on the high heels. “Bloody Song Zhou, you’re abusing your colleague! I’ll definitely complain to Mr. Chen that you bullied a woman.”

Song Zhou ignored her. After waiting for five minutes, he turned around and walked out.

Every time he did a mission with Ji Er, she would kick up a fuss. He was used to her routine.

“Hey, wait for me. F*ck, how can anyone wear these?”

Ji Er didn’t like to wear high heels. After taking two steps, she tripped and almost fell. She quickly held onto the wall beside her and chased after Song Zhou.

Behind them, two women stared at Song Zhou’s back and asked curiously, “Isn’t that Ruan Qi’s boyfriend?”

“Yeah. Why is he with another woman? He even bought clothes and shoes for that woman. Could he be two-timing Ruan Qi?”

“Why not? That man is tall and handsome. Why would he like Ruan Qi? Ruan Qi has such a bad temper. Her boyfriend definitely can’t stand her. It’s not impossible that he has a few more women on the side.”

The two of them used to be jealous of the fact Ruan Qi found a pretty good boyfriend.

Now that they saw her boyfriend buying clothes and shoes for another woman, they could only feel a sense of schadenfreude.

They would find an opportunity to tell Ruan Qi about this and mock her big time.

In a bar, people were excited thanks to the loud music and the influence of alcohol.

Ji Er found her target, picked up a glass of wine, and asked Song Zhou, “If I complete the mission, how will you thank me?”

“I’ll pay you.”

“I don’t want money.”

“Then what do you want?”

“I want you to accompany me for an afternoon, okay?”

Song Zhou looked at her in confusion. “Ji Er, don’t try to be funny.”

Ji Er glared at him. “Don’t waste time and just say yes. You’ve a lifetime to spend with your wife. You can’t even spare one afternoon for me? Are we not brothers?”

Ji Er trained with men day in and day out. Although she was beautiful, no one treated her as a woman.

Song Zhou massaged his forehead and said, “Brother, do your job first. We’ll talk about it later.”

Ji Er smiled smugly. “I consider that a yes and you can’t go back on your word. Brother, I’m going to show off my charm now.”

After she finished speaking, she even threw Song Zhou a flirtatious wink.

Song Zhou held his forehead, unable to accept that his brother flirted with him.

In the villa, Ruan Qi felt strange when she woke up and didn’t see Song Zhou.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Silent Sister brought her a glass of warm water and asked her not to sit but move around instead.

Ruan Qi also felt as if her bones were about to shatter from sleeping so much. She was feeling very lethargic. She had slept so much but she still felt sleepy. After walking a few steps, she heard her phone vibrate..
