His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 93 - FOOLS DO NOT FEAR

After Zhong Mian dealt with some matters at work, she drove to the Zhong Industries headquarters. Currently, she was managing the hospitality sector of the family corporation, so she did not need to be at the main building in the office. In fact, she had established her operations at Demesne Hotel for convenience.

However, even though she did not come to the main office frequently, everyone still remembered her. When she entered the building, the employees looked at her in awe and greeted her respectfully. She nodded back and smiled at a few familiar faces.

She felt a little nostalgic because she had spent so much time working in Zhong Towers. However, when she looked around, she felt relieved that she had left. Her memories were still clear, reminding her of the constant sleepless nights, guarding against tricks and fighting for power.

Her life had definitely changed for the better. The hospitality branch did not have the adrenaline rush of the central office, but she loved being able to breath and walk without looking over her shoulder in paranoia. She had finally come to understand why Feng'er had been so reluctant to come to Zhong Industries.

A long elevator ride brought her to the top floor where Zhong Feng's office was located. She felt incredibly nervous. Though she was not as unhealthily obsessed with this little brother as she was before, he was still her most important person. And meeting with him had become a problem since the Jian Ru incident.

When she stepped out of the elevator, she found an unexpected person in the lounge of the floor. She looked at the girl who was dressed in a long white sundress with a slight frown. However, she recovered her expression quite fast.

That girl noticed Zhong Mian walking in and stood up quickly.

"Big sister Mian, I am so glad to see you." She spoke in a small voice.

Zhong Mian felt annoyed by this display of shyness. As a lady, she believed in being gentle, but this kind of weak and helpless look was an insult to all women, especially when it was all faked. However, Lady Mian would never directly point these facts out.

"Bei Gong Jiu, it is a surprise to see you here." She responded politely.

"I dropped by to give something to big brother Feng, but some people stopped me from seeing him." The woman cast aggrieved eyes at the two unflustered receptionists.

Zhong Mian almost frowned again.

"You can simply leave the item with the receptionists. I am sure they will deliver it if it is important." She responded with a hint of impatience.

Bei Gong Jiu turned her hurt eyes at Mian, as if she was the one standing in her way. However, the sad eyes would not work on this hardened businesswoman who had seen it all.

"My heart will not feel at peace if I am not sure that big brother Feng received it." She responded looking down.

In her mind, she felt annoyed at Mian for failing to help her. Their families might not be at the same level, but at least, she deserved some respect. It was yet to be decided who would become the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family. How did Zhong Mian know that she would not be the winner?

It was not like she wanted to do much when she saw Zhong Feng. She only wanted to deliver the VIP tickets to the exclusive writers' meet. Well, she also wanted to mention personally that she was going to be participating so that he would show up.

Even if she was not successful in inviting him, she would at least have an opportunity to meet with him. Simply speaking, Bei Gong Jiu had thought of every angle of this issue and realised that the tickets in her hands were the only way to improve her relationship with Zhong Feng.

When she had offered to deliver the tickets to Zhong Industries, the head of Sonata Publishing had been too happy to let her. After all, everyone thought that she had a personal connection with Zhong Feng. If the big boss could attend the meet, their small subsidiary would have a lot of face.

The truth was that Bei Gong Jun was not close to Zhong Feng. The link between them had appeared coincidentally during a business gathering. She had been accompanying her parents to that party and had been enthralled by Zhong Feng.

She had approached him to introduce herself. Unlike other women, she was not afraid to approach him. She was very confident in her ability to get any man. It can also be said that she did not know Zhong Feng's reputation. And fools do not fear.

When she had come close to him with a smile, someone had captured a photo before Zhong Feng had turned a cold eye toward her, causing her to freeze in the spot. Her mother had come to her rescue fast and apologised to the big man before dragging her away.

At first, Bei Gong Jiu had been too afraid of Zhong Feng. She had felt as if she had seen hell when he had cast a single look on her. Everything should have ended just like this.

However, the photo had been placed on a certain website, and a discussion had begun about the possible link between her and Zhong Feng. Most netizens seemed to believe that there was a connection even if the photo was never published in any reputable news source.

The constant flow of positive discussions had caused Bei Gong Jun to believe that there was something happening. Moreover, her parents encouraged her later, seeing that there was no retaliation from the Zhong side. So, she had come to believe that with a little hard work, it would not be too difficult to get him. She could become a daughter-in-law of the Zhong family.

Unfortunately, finding another chance to meet with Zhong Feng had proved impossible. In fact, they had not met again since that day. Now that an opportunity had fallen into her hands, how could she let it go easily?

She needed time to cultivate their feelings before it was too late.

Zhong Mian looked at Bei Gong Jiu who kept calling her little brother so intimately and felt her anger well up. How thick was this woman's face? She knew for a fact that the two people were not close. Also, this woman was one year older than her brother. How was it appropriate for her to call him big brother?

"If I deliver the item to my brother personally, will you feel at ease?" Zhong Mian asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"This… I don't want to trouble you." She would wait for Zhong Feng to leave the office.

Before the conversation, one of the receptionists approached them. After greeting Zhong Mian, she turned to Bei Gong Jiu.

"Ms Bei Gong, the security personnel are on their way to escort you out." Her voice remained professional and calm.

Bei Gong flushed in embarrassment and quickly took out an envelope and handed it to Zhong Mian.

"I shall trouble you, Ms Zhong. I will leave first. I have a lot of work to do."

With that, she hurried to the elevator.
