Sheng Yan didn't believe her words. He took a step forward, grabbed Jiang Ziyu's arm, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Ziyu, I've never forgotten you all these years. I was with Jiang Feifei only because she had a shadow of you. I've been searching for you privately, wanting to explain the hardships of that year to you in person."
His hypocritical words echoed in her ears. Jiang Ziyu rolled her eyes and stomped her foot forcefully towards Sheng Yan's crotch.
The kick to his knee made Sheng Yan's face turn pale. His grip on Jiang Ziyu's arm loosened instantly.
He cupped his hands over his lower body, crouching on the ground in pain and embarrassment.
"Ziyu, you!"
"If you touch me inappropriately again, it won't just be a kick!"
Jiang Ziyu casually brushed a strand of hair from her ear. She swung a fist past Sheng Yan's face. Seeing him curl up his neck in fear, she let out a small laugh and left.
Turning around, the triumphant smile on her face froze for a moment.
"Getting ready to go home?" she asked, walking forward.
Di Mingjue's face was dark. He couldn't see, but Shen Lin beside him could see clearly.
Receiving no response to her question, Jiang Ziyu immediately understood.
"Who is he, and what were you doing just now?" Di Mingjue demanded.
Jiang Ziyu turned back again. Sheng Yan had already left at some point.
She replied nonchalantly, "He was bothering me, so I taught him a lesson. It's not what you think."
"Bothering?" Di Mingjue sneered. "No wonder the company has been receiving flowers lately. So it's a persistent admirer. Do you take me for a fool? If you didn't give him hope, would he send you flowers and necklaces?"
"Sophistry. I can't be bothered with you." Jiang Ziyu's chest ached with anger. She turned her head and left Di Mingjue behind.
Listening to her retreating footsteps, Di Mingjue, with a strength he didn't know he had, rapidly chased after Jiang Ziyu in his blinded state.
He reached out and grabbed her swinging wrist, forcefully and unreasonably obstructing her progress. "I advise you to stay honest during the term of our agreement and don't think about flirting around or hastily finding a new partner. If you overstep your bounds and affect the Di family's reputation, or make Qianqian sad, I will never let you go!"
Flirting around?
Her?
Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but laugh. She was not to be outdone. She forcefully shook off her controlled wrist, bit her lip, and spat out word by word, "You blind idiot, don't impose your filthy thoughts on me. Instead of focusing your energy on me, worrying about this and that, you should think about how to take care of yourself!"
Getting more and more angry, Jiang Ziyu aimed for Di Mingjue's cheek. Her fist flew past, millimeters from his face.
Feeling the breeze against her skin, Di Mingjue gritted his teeth and roared, "Jiang Ziyu!"
"I'm perfectly fine. I'm neither blind nor deaf, so you don't need to shout at me so loudly." Jiang Ziyu's words were sharp and filled with sarcasm towards Di Mingjue.
Let alone kicking her out of the Di family, once she got what she wanted, she would leave the Di mansion herself even if not asked.
Jiang Ziyu saw Shen Lin rushing over with concern. She snorted at Di Mingjue, turned her back on him, and left.
By the time Shen Lin arrived, Jiang Ziyu had already flagged down a passing taxi and sped away.
"President Di." Shen Lin sounded concerned.
Di Mingjue's anger couldn't dissipate. He continued to sneer, speaking darkly towards the direction Jiang Ziyu had left. "I must be crazy to waste my time and energy on a woman like this! When my eyes are healed, even if she cries and begs me, I'll divorce her immediately!"
Seeing his furious expression, Shen Lin dared not make a sound.
As Di Mingjue's personal assistant, he clearly felt that Jiang Ziyu had entered Di Mingjue's heart. Every action of hers easily influenced him.
After calming his breathing, Di Mingjue ordered Shen Lin to continue searching for the woman from six years ago. He forcefully suppressed his inner feelings, treating Jiang Ziyu as an unimportant person.
