Chapter 29 -29: Does She Bully Others by Flaunting Her Power?

“I really want to see Xie Yanchuan and find out just who is so divine that he could bewitch you utterly,” Song You said, looking at Xu Jinzhi’s expression with a whole lot of emotion.

“That’s easy, we can just arrange a dinner together, and you’ll naturally meet him,” Xu Jinzhi replied nonchalantly, her chin slightly raised with an expression that was faintly indecent.

Song You looked at Xu Jinzhi with a face full of disdain.

When Xu Jinzhi had just mentioned having dinner together, she thought of the meals Xie Yanchuan had cooked for her a few days ago and couldn’t help sharing with Song You, “Xie Yanchuan is also a great cook, next time I’ll have him make something for you to try.”

“Xie Yanchuan can cook?”

“Mhm!”

“When did he cook for you?”

“Just a few weekends ago.”

“So, you’ve already been to Xie Yanchuan’s house?”

Just as Xu Jinzhi was about to say “Yes,” she choked on her words, and in that moment, an awkward silence filled the air as they looked at each other.

“Xu Jinzhi, just the two of you alone together,” Song You said incredulously.

“We were innocent,” Xu Jinzhi claimed earnestly.

But Song You didn’t believe it and became even more energized, “I didn’t say anything; you’re the one admitting it now!”

“What’s there to admit? Nothing happened between us, really. It’s just like the saying goes, ‘A dirty mind sees dirt in everything!'” Xu Jinzhi said, huffing with irritation.

“No, why do I feel like you sound a bit regretful?” Song You sensed something was off. In just a month’s time, her best friend seemed to have changed completely.

She had teased Xu Jinzhi like this before, but the Xu Jinzhi of that time wouldn’t even bother to respond.

Now, well…

Song You had a bad feeling and shook her head involuntarily, “Jinzhi, I was just kidding before, but now I think you’ve really fallen for Xie Yanchuan.”

Looking at Song You, Xu Jinzhi was no longer speechless. She said quite seriously, “Youyou, I really think he’s good, and I truly want to get married. It’s not a marriage of mutual respect or non-interference.”

“I like him and he has to like me, too. In the future, we’ll be happy together.”

Song You was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such words from Xu Jinzhi’s mouth. It seemed she had underestimated that man, Xie Yanchuan.

“So, when we’re both available, I’ll formally introduce you,” Xu Jinzhi continued.

“Got it,” Song You nodded earnestly.

Honestly, Xie Yanchuan was not the Xie Family’s heir, so even as the second youngest of the Xie Family, he had his own remarkable aspects elsewhere, but people still felt he was not a match for Xu Jinzhi.

Song You thought so too, so before hearing what Xu Jinzhi had just said, Xie Yanchuan was just another insignificant person to her.

But at this moment, Song You’s perspective had changed. Xie Yanchuan, a man she had never really known, was no longer insignificant to her because of Xu Jinzhi.

“Alright, aren’t you already hungry? Let’s eat first. As for Xie Yanchuan, there will be plenty of time to talk about him later,” Xu Jinzhi served some food to Song You, urging her to eat.

Song You couldn’t help but laugh, none of her usual decisiveness at work showed, and she obediently began eating.

Xu Jinzhi had spent last night at Song You’s place, and her overly worried father suspected his daughter might have been deceived by Xie Yanchuan.

While complaining about her father, Xu Jinzhi dutifully made a video call and had Song You greet him, just to put his mind at ease.

But because they drank quite a bit the night before, both of them simply crashed and rested, waking up in the morning with unavoidable bouts of dizziness. Not only were they dizzy, but they both looked worse for wear.

Xu Jinzhi mocked Song You, and Song You mocked Xu Jinzhi; neither spared the other from their teasing.

However, they both had to go to work that day, so there wasn’t much time for frolicking. They quickly got up, washed up, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then left separately.

When Xu Jinzhi arrived at the company, she ran into her father downstairs.

Since they had already confirmed everything over video last night, Xu Zhen didn’t make any sarcastic comments, and they went upstairs together in the elevator.

It was then that Xu Zhen casually mentioned, “I’ve had the lawyers draft a transfer contract for the South Bay. It’s on your desk; sign it when you have time.”

Xu Jinzhi nodded, “Okay.”

After a moment of silence, Xu Zhen asked with some puzzlement, “Aren’t you going to ask me what that place is?”

“No…” Xu Jinzhi paused, stopping herself from continuing. That was one of the dowries Xu Zhen had prepared for her, a plot of land worth several billion.

But Xu Jinzhi was supposed to be unaware of the South Bay property since it was recently acquired by Xu Zhen. However, thanks to her knowledge from her previous life, Xu Jinzhi was very familiar with the words “South Bay,” which was why she had readily agreed.

“Don’t know,” Xu Jinzhi shook her head, then explained, “I drank too much last night and didn’t catch on for a moment. What’s up with South Bay?”

Xu Zhen glared at Xu Jinzhi, “Agreeing to any contract without fear, aren’t you scared of people tripping you up?”

“Heh,” Xu Jinzhi laughed, “You’re my dad; what do I have to fear?”

Before Xu Zhen could continue lecturing, Xu Jinzhi quickly made a confused face, “You mentioned a contract for South Bay; you bought South Bay?”

At this, Xu Zhen’s expression also turned slightly smug, “Do you even need to ask who I am?”

“That’s right! You’re the greatest,” Xu Jinzhi flattered him, and seeing the elevator arrive, she quickly left, “I’ve got to hurry!”

Xu Zhen watched his daughter’s retreating figure, a smile of indulgence spreading across his face.

At this point, Xu Jinzhi had already returned to her office and glanced at the contract on her desk, casually flipping through it before directly signing her name.

Work was proceeding smoothly until a knock on the door, and Assistant Wen entered from outside, her voice cold as she said, “Mr. Xu, there’s something I need to communicate with you about.”

Thinking it was work-related, Xu Jinzhi nodded for Assistant Wen to speak and also looked up at her, showing she was paying attention.

With an expressionless face, Assistant Wen said, “Recently, there’s been some news circulating online claiming that the Xu Group’s young miss has been abusing her power.”

“What? They’re saying I’ve been abusing my power?” Xu Jinzhi looked at Assistant Wen in bewilderment, completely caught off guard by such an accusation.

Abusing power?

Whom had she bullied?

Why was she, the person involved, unaware of it?
