Chapter 265: Chapter 265: I’ve already given you your living expenses for this month

Zhou Lin wouldn’t argue about status problems in public, only deeply concerned he said, "I heard you were brought to the police station, and I hurried over. Are you okay?"

"I just came to cooperate with the investigation of some matters, I am fine," Cheng Zhiwei replied indifferently, taking a step back to maintain a proper distance from Zhou Lin.

The chief of the police station asked what had happened.

The policeman then explained a case from a year ago, "Madam Cheng’s child was born there three years ago, we are just conducting routine inquiries."

Zhou Lin knew about this matter, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it since it was unrelated to their child.

Zhang Yuanheng had said that the child was a twin.

When the child was born three years ago, he had intended to register the child under his residence, but he feared that Cheng Zhiwei might feel he was snatching the child and become emotional, so he didn’t interfere.

Cheng Zhiwei said, "It’s all settled now, I just need to go back and get the child’s hair."

As she spoke, she turned and walked outside.

Zhou Lin followed her, pressing down on her hand that was on the car door handle, and he gently said, "Let me have someone take care of these things, I’ll take you back first."

"That won’t be necessary, Mr. Zhou," Cheng Zhiwei politely refused, "Also, please don’t have someone follow me."

"I’m just worried about you and the child," Zhou Lin explained, his expression turning gloomy and desolate.

"You may protect the child, but I don’t need protection."

Without waiting for Zhou Lin to say anything further, she simply left.

While waiting for the traffic light, Cheng Zhiwei still couldn’t help feeling irritable.

Zhou Lin had someone track her, and though she knew it was inevitable, it still made her feel uncomfortable.

The suffocating feeling of living under his shadow once again overwhelmed her.

But she couldn’t not return, her home was here, her relatives were here, and her child should grow up here too.

She was lost in thought too long, and when the green light came, the cars behind beeped continuously, prompting her to quickly gather her spirits and leave.

Forget it, if Zhou Lin wants someone to follow, let him follow. After all, she was going to look into Seo Zhenzhen’s matter.

After collecting the child’s hair, Cheng Zhiwei went to meet Huang Ye’s wife, Liu Xiangyun.

"Are you Huang Ye’s wife?" Cheng Zhiwei asked.

Liu Xiangyun looked at Cheng Zhiwei warily, with an unfriendly expression, and coldly said, "I am not."

She hadn’t recognized Cheng Zhiwei.

Seeing her attitude, Cheng Zhiwei knew why, and thus she got straight to the point, "I’m not here for money; I just want to ask you about something."

Liu Xiangyun asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

Cheng Zhiwei invited her for a cup of milk tea and slowly said, "I heard that you and your husband, Huang Ye, were college classmates. Do you know if he had a crush on any girl during his college years?"

Liu Xiangyun did know because a look of hate crossed her face when the subject was brought up. "I know, Seo Zhenzhen."

"Do you know the cause and consequences of her car accident?"

"That was her retribution," Liu Xiangyun mocked without mercy.

"I came here to ask if you know why your husband, Huang Ye, went abroad back then," Cheng Zhiwei asked.

But Liu Xiangyun just impatiently said, "We are already divorced. Whatever he did has nothing to do with me, and I don’t know."

"I have a recording..."

"I have to go to work now, don’t come looking for me again," Liu Xiangyun said expressionlessly and walked away.

Cheng Zhiwei sat for a while, feeling somewhat helpless. She hadn’t expected to get the answers she wanted on the first try, but Liu Xiangyun’s hatred for Huang Ye was a bit more intense than she had anticipated.

"Zhiwei?" Xu Tian’s voice suddenly came.

Cheng Zhiwei smiled, "How did you get here?"

Xu Tian pointed to the building across the street, "He Family Company is here, and I was free for a moment, so I came out for some air."

Xu Tian was very capable, and He Lanzhi’s parents had placed most of the company’s power in her hands. Now, she was the president of He Family Company.

She had become even more radiant than before, with a more poised demeanor.

Cheng Zhiwei hadn’t noticed when she arrived, but now she remembered that since Liu Xiangyun worked at He Family Company, she could have Xu Tian facilitate a connection.

After hearing her, Xu Tian agreed, "Leave it to me."

Dealing with that bitch, Seo Zhenzhen, was something Xu Tian was very interested in.

"Thank you."

Xu Tian pinched her face, "No need to be polite with me."

Just then, her secretary hurried over, "President Xu, the young master has arrived."

Cheng Zhiwei thought He Yuming had arrived and quickly said, "Bring him over, I’ll take him back to play with Cheng Yang."

Xu Tian smiled and put her milk tea down on the table, "It’s not Xiaoming, it’s He Lanzhi."

"He Lanzhi?"

Xu Tian sat on the couch, with no intention of meeting He Lanzhi, "Zhiwei, go sit over there. I’ll deal with him, then we can chat properly."

Cheng Zhiwei took her milk tea to a nearby table, a spot where she could see what was happening but He Lanzhi wouldn’t notice her.

A few minutes later, He Lanzhi arrived.

His face looked terrible, and he yelled at Xu Tian, "Xu Tian, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Tian slowly sipped her milk tea before looking up unhurriedly and asked, "What’s the matter now?"

He Lanzhi threw his phone on the table, coldly saying, "Didn’t I tell you to deposit another five million into my account? Where’s the money?"

"I’ve already given you your allowance for this month," Xu Tian said calmly.

He Lanzhi’s parents were extremely disappointed in him. Seeing Xu Tian could manage the company well, they handed over its management to her.

The first thing Xu Tian did when she took over was to restrict He Lanzhi’s finances.

Previously, He Lanzhi could freely withdraw money from the company accounts to squander. Now, according to Xu Tian’s rules, he only received five million a month as a living allowance, and she had made it clear that the company would not pay for any deals He Lanzhi signed outside.

At first, people didn’t believe it. He Lanzhi continued spending and signing for bills. They would bring the bills to Xu Tian for payment, but she firmly refused to pay, and eventually, signing bills became useless for He Lanzhi.

Therefore, nowadays, He Lanzhi had to beg Xu Tian for money.

After all, he had learned to be somewhat more cautious; he seldom went to expensive places anymore. Five million was barely enough, but this month he had overspent due to throwing a birthday party for Zhou Ruoki.

He had no choice but to ask Xu Tian for money.

"Xu Tian, you are just a dog of my family. What right do you have to control the company’s finances?" He Lanzhi furiously cursed. "Do you really think you are the He family’s young madam?"

The secretary felt embarrassed for Xu Tian.

Yet Xu Tian didn’t get angry at all, merely lifting her eyelids to look at He Lanzhi, "If I’m a dog, then so is your son. And you, who bore a child with me, aren’t you just another He scoundrel?"

He Lanzhi’s face turned iron blue, and he started breathing heavily, "Xu Tian, you dare to call our He family dogs. You don’t want to continue this, do you?"

His threat was loud and clear, but to Xu Tian, it was nothing more than a trivial irritation.
