However, Li Dadong still had some confidence. After all, he and Lin Zhiyun had been in a status of childhood sweethearts for so many years. I will still be stronger than the outsider, right? This boyfriend named Yang Ming has only been with Lin Zhiyun for a semester at most because he had not heard that Lin Zhiyun had a boyfriend during his summer vacation!

In just one semester, how close can their relationship be? Li Dadong felt that as long as he worked hard and confessed his intention to Lin Zhiyun, Lin Zhiyun would definitely break up with Yang Ming.

Thinking of this, Li Dadong’s mood had also recovered slightly as he followed Lin Zhiyun and Yang Ming to the house with a sullen face.

“Yang Ming is here!” Before Shen Yueping could speak, Lin Changqing warmly welcomed Yang Ming. Regarding the matter in Donghai, Lin Changqing was very grateful to Yang Ming, so he was also very polite in his tone.

“Uncle Lin, Aunty Shen, greetings.” Yang Ming said with a smile.

“Changqing, let’s serve the meal.” Shen Yueping noticed that Yang Ming had arrived, so she ordered, “You go and cook the dumplings!”

Li Dadong gritted his teeth after hearing it. I came to help wrap the dumplings in the afternoon. In the end, it only benefits this guy named Yang! However, even though he was angry, he couldn’t vent it out. He could only sulk with a dull face.

“Dadong, can you go and help your uncle?” Shen Yueping requested.

“Okay. I’m going to help godfather to cook dumplings.” Li Dadong nodded and deliberately emphasized the word “godfather.”

Shen Yueping sighed knowing that Li Dadong was deliberately saying this. When they were still young, Lin Changqing and Li Dadong’s father said half-jokingly that Li Dadong recognized Lin Changqing as godfather to give each family two children.

At that time, Lin Zhiyun was still young and not very sensible. Li Dadong had only recently become more sensible. Later, this matter was ignored as a joke, but they didn’t expect Li Dadong to suddenly mention it again.

When Yang Ming heard Li Dadong’s “godfather,” he couldn’t help but frown. He asked Lin Zhiyun in a whisper, “Why is he calling your dad as godfather?”

“I don’t know…” Lin Zhiyun shook her head in confusion. Apparently, she had no recollection of the event.

Yang Ming nodded and didn’t care what was going on. I don’t care if it is true or not. Godfather, so what? Godfather isn’t father-in-law!

“He seems to be interested in you.” Yang Ming sat on the sofa as though he was very close to Lin Zhiyun, just like a close couple.

Lin Zhiyun’s immunity to Yang Ming had reached an incredible level. Faced with Yang Ming’s intimate manners, Lin Zhiyun had no other sense of resistance except for some shyness in her heart.

” Ah ? Brother Dadong just treats me as a sister…” Lin Zhiyun said while stuttering. Beforehand, she didn’t realize that Li Dadong had other feelings besides treating her as a sister, but from Li Dadong’s weird look and behavior, it seemed like that was the case as Yang Ming mentioned.

” Hehe , why is he so hostile to me if it is just a sister?” Yang Ming snorted. “Even a childhood sweetheart?”

“Why? Are you jealous?” Lin Zhiyun didn’t know what was she thinking. She suddenly came up with such a sentence.

“What do I need to be jealous for?” Yang Ming smirked and hugged Lin Zhiyun. “Aren’t the both of us just acting? What can I be jealous of…”

“Acting… Why are you hugging me…” Lin Zhiyun’s face was red. She was somewhat embarrassed.

“Acting has professionalism, too! You see – what was the movie called again? It was said that the male and female protagonists really XOXO 1 during filming!” Yang Ming smiled.

“I hate you!” Lin Zhiyun pshawed. “How do you know this when other people are filming?”

“They’re all saying it on the Internet…” Yang Ming said innocently.

“Fine. In a little while, can you do this as respect for me? I have nothing to do with Brother Dadong, but I have always respected him as a brother. Don’t let him be too embarrassed…” Lin Zhiyun hesitated.

“Did I make him embarrassed? I think he wanted me to be embarrassed!” Yang Ming snorted and said, “Look at him as he entered the door. He gripped my hand as if he didn’t want to let it go. Luckily, I had trained before, or else I would be crippled by him!”

“Forget it… Brother Dadong’s head was sweating…” Lin Zhiyun wasn’t stupid. She probably also grasped the previous situation. “And you’re really bad. You actually called him, ‘Big Winter Melon'2.”

“Don’t you call him ‘Big Winter Melon'1?” Yang Ming curiously widened his eyes. “I just followed you with the address!”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore…” Lin Zhiyun was speechless.

Although Li Dagang was helping in the kitchen, his eyes often swept in the direction of the living room. When he saw Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun flirting, he was annoyed. Out of carelessness, the water in the pot that was cooking the dumplings splashed out and landed on Li Dagang’s hand. He grimaced from the scalding pain.

After Zhou Jiajia returned home, she started to get prepared for the activities that night. If it went well, she would be able to get something useful this evening.

Surveilling the network IP of Wang Zhitao’s home, Zhou Jiajia quickly opened a shortcut to a folder on her desktop. She opened a photo inside and started browsing.

These were the pictures of Yang Ming, which were usually photographed by Zhou Jiajia on the cell phone. Some of them were of Yang Ming alone, and some of them were taken when Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were together. However, Zhou Jiajia didn’t mind as she looked at them with great interest. She smiled sometimes and frowned sometimes as though she was doing something happy.

That’s right! This was Zhou Jiajia’s usual pastime time. Aside from studying computer technology, at the other times, Zhou Jiajia’s only entertainment was to look at Yang Ming’s photos in a daze.

” Dangdangdang …” There was knocking on the bedroom door. Zhou Jiajia immediately regained a sense of herself. She minimized the window on the computer desktop and said, “Come in.”

“Jiajia, I heard that you went to Wang Zhitao’s house today?” Mother Zhou asked with a smile.

” En .” Zhou Jiajia nodded faintly. She was still holding a grudge from her mother’s private conversation with Yang Ming.

” Hehe , don’t be angry with your mother. Mother wanted the best for you.” Mother Zhou smiled. “I heard that Wang Xifan is preparing to transfer his shares under Wang Zhitao’s name, which was what I was worried about the most before. I was afraid that the old guy, Wang Xifan, wasn’t honest. He might have illegitimate children on the outside. Now, I’m relieved that no one will compete with you for shares in the future.”

“…” Zhou Jiajia looked at her mother in front of her and didn’t know what to say. In her eyes, it was full of money and profit. Including her daughter’s lifelong events, it also mixed with too much of her own interest in it.

“Your father will come back in a few days. I have told your dad about your matter with Wang Zhitao. Your dad still thought that Wang Zhitao isn’t worthy of you!” Mother Zhou laughed.

Zhou Jiajia shook her head, “I’d rather be in an ordinary home.”

“Ordinary home? Jiajia, you don’t know how many people are envious of you!” Mother Zhou said, “You really don’t know how to be grateful for your blessings.”

“I don’t think there’s anything good about it…” Zhou Jiajia sighed. “Also, isn’t dad working for others… Why do you always act superior?”

“Working for others? Hehe , it also depends on who is working for whom. Your father is now working for the most mysterious family in Europe. He is the family’s main butler!” Mother Zhou said with pride. “According to your father, there is no problem with you finding a nobleman in the upper class!”

“…” Zhou Jiajia looked at her mother in her gorgeous fantasy. She didn’t know what to say.

“Like my daughter who is so beautiful, maybe there’s no problem finding a family heir!” Mother Zhou said proudly. “It’s unfortunate. According to your father, the heir of the mysterious family is a woman…”

“Okay, mom. I’m tired… I want to sleep for a while…” Zhou Jiajia really couldn’t agree with her mother’s thoughts.

” Oh , that’s fine… You should rest well first…” Mother Zhou nodded. “Yes, you and Wang Zhitao just stay together for now. If there are better candidates, let’s change!”

“…” Zhou Jiajia didn’t answer.

…….

In President Wang Xifan’s office, there were Wang Xifan and Huang Youcai.

“Youcai, regarding Su Dazhi’s matter, do the police have any suspicions?” Wang Xifan asked with a frown.

“No, I haven’t heard anything.” Huang Youcai shook his head.

“Regarding Su Dazhi’s body, I’m always not at ease. I’m afraid that the police might find some clues.” Wang Xifan sighed. “My eyelids have been constantly twitching these days; there’s a sign of a bad omen.”

“It’s okay. President Wang, why don’t we take a look again tomorrow? Let’s get some concentrated sulfuric acid on the body and let him rot as soon as possible so that the police can’t identify the body.”

“Well, it’s not too late yet. Let’s not wait for tomorrow. Let’s get some sulfuric acid now. We should go in a while.” Wang Xifan said.

“Everything is according to President Wang’s instruction.” Huang Youcai nodded.
