Yang Ming saw that Jing Xiaolu was shocked too. Fortunately, this chick still had self-awareness. Otherwise, things would be unclear after she did such a thing.

Although Zhou Jiajia was not a jealous person, she wouldn’t merely reveal another’s secret. She had suffered a similar loss when she was young and ignorant. She naturally could not make the same mistake a second time. Even so, now that she had just encountered a matter related to Xiao Qing, if there were another matter pertaining to Jing Xiaolu, it was difficult to guarantee that Zhou Jiajia wouldn’t have any opinion of her.

Moreover, the most important thing was that if Yang Ming really had something with Jing Xiaolu, then he would admit it. The key issue was that he and Jing Xiaolu had nothing at all! They didn’t even hold hands before. The most intimate contact was nothing more than his being kissed forcefully by Jing Xiaolu a few times, but this didn’t mean anything.

If someone were to say that there was an unusual relationship between them, then at most, they were a bit more flirtatious than ordinary friends. Therefore, Yang Ming wasn’t willing to take this blame. At least, not now.

Fortunately, Jing Xiaolu did not do anything that made each other awkward. Yang Ming also secretly praised Jing Xiaolu’s cleverness. He just glanced at her and whispered, “Don’t be crazy; show a serious look.”

” Hihi …” Jing Xiaolu was truly delighted. She was holding the keys, looking left and right.

Zhou Jiajia glanced at her and said nothing because the key was given to her by Bao Sanli. The company must have provided the keys to Jing Xiaolu. Perhaps it was due to Yang Ming’s relationship that Zhou Jiajia did not think much of it.

All the evidence in Wang Xiaoran’s computer was printed out and archived on the portable hard disk for backup, then Zhou Jiajia said to Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, it’s all done. The evidence is impeccable. As long as the person who checks it is a forensic expert in computers, this evidence will be effective. We don’t have to be afraid of Wang Xiaoran not admitting to it.”

“That’s good.” Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that there was no absolute evidence. If Wang Xiaoran didn’t admit this thing, then Bao Sanli could fire her forcefully. After all, Bao Sanli had the authority in the company. He was the CEO; he didn’t need any reason to fire anyone, but in this way, he couldn’t convince the employees!

If there were no conclusive evidence, it would make others suspect. At this time, if Wang Xiaoran once again used her ability to stir up trouble, she would claim this discharge as an unjust case. As a result, the company’s employees would be worried about their employment.

Everyone would think that the company could simply fire an employee by framing them arbitrarily. Would they become the next target in the future? If the employees were worried, it would inevitably affect their work efficiency, and then the performance of a company would also decline. This was not Yang Ming wanted to see.

However, now, with Zhou Jiajia’s words, Yang Ming was assured, and Bao Sanli was also relieved! The evidence provided by Zhou Jiajia could be legally recognized, then they were not afraid of Wang Xiaoran refuting it.

Zhou Jiajia handed the evidence to Bao Sanli. Bao Sanli carefully put these things in his carry-on bag, and then he said to Zhou Jiajia, “Thank you, Miss Zhou. You’ve really helped me a lot.”

Although Yang Ming invited her, and the company was also Yang Ming’s, Bao Sanli was the CEO here. If Yang Ming didn’t help him, he had to find some way to solve it. In this way, this was the same as Yang Ming helping him. How could Bao Sanli not be grateful?

“It’s nothing. This is what I should do…” Zhou Jiajia smiled coyly. “I’m always afraid that I can’t help Yang Ming. Now, I have the opportunity to help him, so I have to cherish it instead.”

After Yang Ming listened to Zhou Jiajia’s words, he smiled awkwardly. I didn’t expect Zhou Jiajia to have such a thought. However, don’t the others have the same view as well?

Lin Zhiyun, Chen Mengyan, etc. all hope to help my future career, so they continue to study hard. Now, Zhou Jiajia is the same… As for Jing Xiaolu, didn’t she change because of me as well?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming sighed. There are some things that I still have to face eventually. Just like Jing Xiaolu…

On the other hand, when Jing Xiaolu heard Zhou Jiajia’s words, Jing Xiaolu was thinking about herself. Jing Xiaolu could never catch up with Zhou Jiajia’s expertise in computers, even in her lifetime. She didn’t understand computers. Except for simple operations, surfing the Internet, chatting, printing some documents, she knew nothing else about computers.

However, Jing Xiaolu had something that Zhou Jiajia didn’t. Jing Xiaolu had been in the company for a while, and she also found herself talented in leadership! What does a company’s leader need to do? It is nothing more than managing talents and planning the company’s general direction which was knowing how to use people and making good use of strategy. Jing Xiaolu thought that she wouldn’t lose to others in this, especially since she was adapting to the intrigues of the business. However, she still needed to improve in utilizing people. Still, it was fine as she could continue to learn. Now, her position didn’t require the skill to use people. She was just a manager’s assistant who helped to make plans. She could learn how to make use of people when she became a manager.

Therefore, Jing Xiaolu felt that she wasn’t inferior to Zhou Jiajia. She was also competent in other aspects. She could also help Yang Ming. Thinking of this, Jing Xiaolu felt that she should work harder in the future. After returning to the dormitory, she was going to download a few books about how to manage people.

“Brother Bao, I will come to the meeting tomorrow. We will go first; you can handle the rest of the things.” Yang Ming looked at the time, and it was already past eight o’clock in the evening. Chen Mengyan’s class should have finished, and he needed to go home now.

“Don’t worry, Brother Yang. I will arrange it properly.” Bao Sanli naturally promised it.

After Yang Ming thought that there was nothing else, he took Zhou Jiajia’s hand and went downstairs with Jing Xiaolu. Zhou Jiajia initially felt it was inappropriate as Jing Xiaolu was looking by the side after all. She struggled a little, but she didn’t break free from Yang Ming’s hand, so she just let Yang Ming hold her hand. However, Jing Xiaolu did notice Zhou Jiajia feeling awkward, so she walked to Zhou Jiajia’s side and held her other hand. This way, Zhou Jiajia was holding hands with two people; the awkwardness also disappeared after that.

Looking at Jing Xiaolu, who was beside her, treating her amiably, and even intending to curry her favor, Zhou Jiajia’s heart secretly speculated about her.

Jing Xiaolu knew her coincidentally in the school cafeteria. The process could also be said to be quite coincidental. There seemed to be no premeditated elements at that time, but now it appeared that Jing Xiaolu’s attitude to her was too good.

Does Jing Xiaolu have any plans? Recalling the previous contact with Jing Xiaolu, and Jing Xiaolu’s attitude toward her, Chen Mengyan, and Lin Zhiyun… Zhou Jiajia was suddenly stunned.

Yes, the current Jing Xiaolu is like what I used to be! Didn’t my previous self always think of pleasing the women around Yang Ming? And I always liked to be with Yang Ming, no matter if I had something or not. Even if there were no reason or opportunity, I would create reasons and opportunities… How similar am I to the current Jing Xiaolu?

When Zhou Jiajia thought about Jing Xiaolu’s tone and attitude when she talked to Yang Ming, although Jing Xiaolu had been very careful, and she was afraid that Zhou Jiajia would see something, Zhou Jiajia had experience with it before. She also had the same character as the current Jing Xiaolu. How could she not notice?

Therefore, even if Jing Xiaolu deliberately concealed and disguised, Zhou Jiajia still saw some clues and became suspicious.

However, would she guard against Jing Xiaolu if she saw it? Zhou Jiajia shook her head secretly. No, she wouldn’t have any prejudice and dissatisfaction with Jing Xiaolu, and she wouldn’t deliberately say something.

On the contrary, after seeing the current Jing Xiaolu, Zhou Jiajia missed her previous self. How hard was that time? But now, it was very beautiful and sweet in retrospect.

The twists and turns of a blissful love were more memorable than natural love. This would accompany her for a lifetime and was a commemoration of her youth.

She unconsciously held Jing Xiaolu’s hand tight; Jing Xiaolu was slightly surprised, but she just let Zhou Jiajia hold it until they got out of the elevator.

Hold hands and grow old. Now, I’m holding Yang Ming’s and Jing Xiaolu’s hands. Does this include Jing Xiaolu? Zhou Jiajia glanced at Jing Xiaolu; there was a smile in between the eyebrows.

I can get along with this girl. At least, she wouldn’t have any conflicts with me. These are already enough.

Jing Xiaolu didn’t expect Zhou Jiajia to think so much in a moment. She took the car key, and she was eager to try. When she got down the stairs, she subconsciously wanted to use the remote control on Yang Ming’s car. However, when she saw that Yang Ming’s vehicle did not respond, she only realized that she didn’t have the car for this key yet.

Watching Jing Xiaolu take her new key to control his car, Yang Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “The key is here. Let’s go back to school first.”

As Yang Ming said this, he threw his car key to Jing Xiaolu; Jing Xiaolu excitedly sat in the driver’s seat.

Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia were still sitting in the back of the car; Jing Xiaolu started the car and headed for school.

She first dropped off Zhou Jiajia downstairs of the School of Computer Science. Yang Ming did not say much; he just pulled her hand. “Take care. Don’t be too tired.”

Zhou Jiajia nodded, smiled, and opened the door to get off.

Seeing Zhou Jiajia had walked into the School of Computer Science Building, Yang Ming returned to the car. He saw that Jing Xiaolu did not drive, so he asked puzzled, “Why don’t you drive?”

“Why don’t you sit in front?” asked Jing Xiaolu.

“The distance is so short. Why should I still sit in front? Are you crazy?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu with a bitter smile. “It’s not necessary, right?”

“Come on!” After Zhou Jiajia had left, Jing Xiaolu became bold suddenly; she hooked Yang Ming’s hand. “I really miss you.”

Yang Ming couldn’t help it; he couldn’t deal with Jing Xiaolu, so he could only get off and sit in the front seat.

Jing Xiaolu started the car, and the car slowly moved forward. There was a speed limit in the school, so even if Jing Xiaolu were deliberately driving slowly, Yang Ming couldn’t help it.

“You will have your own car tomorrow.” Yang Ming thought about it and said, “This Bao Sanli always does some useless things. He actually put your car license under the security company which is using the special number of the city bureau, but you should not violate the rules. You always need to be low-key.”

“Really?” Jing Xiaolu was secretly happy listening to Yang Ming’s words, but she still nodded. “I got it. Rest assured. I have been very low-key recently.”

Although Jing Xiaolu drove very slowly, the distance between the School of Computer Science was not far from the girl’s dormitory building. It only took around ten minutes to walk, let alone drive.

Jing Xiaolu got off reluctantly. Then she waved to Yang Ming in the car. “So, I am leaving?”

“Yeah.” Yang Ming said helplessly, “Do you still expect me to give you a hug?”

Jing Xiaolu smiled as she closed the door. When Yang Ming was going to get off from the front passenger seat to get to the driver’s seat, he heard Jing Xiaolu exclaim before he got off. He looked up and saw two macho men blocking Jing Xiaolu’s way.

“Jing Xiaolu, I finally found you! D*mn, aren’t you very rich? You are even driving a BMW? Which dumb rich guy did you cheat?” One of the macho men in a black t-shirt stared at Jing Xiaolu as he sneered.

It was at night now, and Yang Ming’s car was tinted, so the two macho men thought that Jing Xiaolu was driving back alone. No other person was in the car, so he spoke unscrupulously without being afraid that someone might see it.

Yang Ming frowned slightly. What happened to Jing Xiaolu? She was just framed by Wang Xiaoran during the day, and then she meets two punks again at night? It seems that the person who spoke to Jing Xiaolu knows her. Otherwise, he can’t say her name.

” Ugh … it’s Brother Fei… Are you looking for me for something?” Jing Xiaolu subconsciously stepped back, watching the macho man in front of her with caution.

“Hey? You still know me?” Brother Fei snorted. “D*mn, what should I do for what you did last time? After I ate the viagra and went to shower, I realized that you had run away. You made me have to masturbate for the whole night! I couldn’t even call for a prostitute at that place. F*ck, you took my money, but you didn’t want to sleep with me? Are you scamming my money?”

“Brother Fei, don’t talk nonsense with this chick. You just have to get back what she owed you last time.” The macho man next to Brother Fei was his fair-weather friend. Brother Fei initially asked him to boost his morale, and he also agreed on it. However, when he saw Jing Xiaolu’s face and body, his heart became active, and he was somewhat impatient.

“Come with us. I don’t like to force people, but I don’t mind making an exception.” If he didn’t have a deep impression of Jing Xiaolu because he hated her guts, and he even did his homework before he came to block Jing Xiaolu, he wouldn’t even associate the pure little girl and the delinquent girl when he saw Jing Xiaolu’s outfit.

However, the current Jing Xiaolu was even more fascinating; she could evoke Brother Fei’s desire even more.

Jing Xiaolu was secretly angry. Yang Ming saw that I am getting bullied. Why can’t he come out and save me? Really. Would he have already driven off? But I didn’t hear the car engine.

Yang Ming naturally would not stand by, but he didn’t make a move because he wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. He wanted to see why the two people were looking for Jing Xiaolu.

Yang Ming could hear from the words of these two people that they knew Jing Xiaolu. Then, this wasn’t an accident, but it was premeditated. Therefore, Yang Ming didn’t get off the car in a hurry. These two people would definitely say something.

Sure enough, Yang Ming couldn’t help but be amused to learn the whole story from these people. Jing Xiaolu must have cheated this Brother Fei. Jing Xiaolu agreed to have sex with him, but she took the money and left halfway, leaving Brother Fei alone in the hotel.

The previous Jing Xiaolu would certainly do such a thing! However, Yang Ming did not have any bad thoughts about Jing Xiaolu. He knew about Jing Xiaolu’s past, and he knew her hardships. The money she cheated was rarely spent on herself; it was all used to buy medicine for her grandmother. So, no matter whether Jing Xiaolu’s behavior would be approved, her filial piety was commendable.

Therefore, as far as Yang Ming himself was concerned, he had no bad feelings about Jing Xiaolu’s approach. A girl could force herself to do such a thing to buy medicine for her grandmother, and she could also keep her virginity. She was just cheating which was considered okay.

Of course, from a legal point of view, Jing Xiaolu’s approach was wrong, but the law was nothing more than human feelings. Some things were still understandable.

“How much did she take from you? I will return it to you.” Yang Ming opened the door, got off, and walked quickly to Jing Xiaolu’s side, looking at Brother Fei and the other macho man helper opposite her.

“Who are you?” Brother Fei was obviously stunned by Yang Ming’s appearance. He didn’t expect that there was still another person in Jing Xiaolu’s BMW.

“You don’t need to know who I am.” Yang Ming didn’t want to delay the time. “However much money she took from you, I will pay you back double.”

“Hey? Double? Look at your tone. You should be quite rich, right?” Brother Fei looked at Yang Ming with a sideways glance. He saw that Yang Ming was just a person, and he had two people on his side. What could Yang Ming do to him? So, he ridiculed with despise, “I didn’t expect Jing Xiaolu to get another dumb rich guy. It looks like he is even a dumb schmuck.”

Yang Ming looked at Brother Fei with a cold eye, but he didn’t get angry. “Just say it. How much?”

“F*ck, you really think you have the say?” Brother Fei twitched his mouth disdainfully. “I want a million yuan. Can you give it to me?”

“Fine, then I will give you one million.” Yang Ming said faintly. “Do you want cash or check?”

“Who are you? Cash or check? Do you think I have never seen money before? Do you know who I am?” Brother Fei looked at Yang Ming with a sideways glance again… After looking at him carefully, Yang Ming only knew that this guy was not deliberately squinting, but his eyes were originally squinting.

“Then, excuse me. Who are you?” Yang Ming looked at Brother Fei and asked very calmly.
