“Chen Jiao.” Yi Zheng’s cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Chen Jiao was so frightened that her entire body trembled. She almost immediately ran to Yi Zheng’s side and begged with tears in her eyes, “President Yi, listen to my explanation. I really don’t mean anything else. I just think we should let Miss Shi know about what happened between us. Otherwise, this won’t be fair to her at all and it will become a knot in your hearts in the future.”

Hearing this, Yi Zheng sneered and said, “Then it seems that I have to thank you for thinking for my sake?”

He knew that this woman had ill intentions!

Not to mention that it was impossible for him to really have sex with her, even if they did, she would not be the one to tell Shi Man about it.

Moreover, she had used that provocative tone.

This woman was deliberately trying to squeeze Shi Man away so that she could occupy the position of Madam Yi!

“Listen carefully.” Yi Zheng’s expression suddenly turned cold. “I’ll definitely investigate what happened that night. You don’t have to spout nonsense here. Also, as a special assistant, you were disrespectful to my future Madam. Now, I officially announce that you’ve been fired by me. From today onwards, you have nothing to do with me!”

“No!” Chen Jiao cried as she wanted to pounce on Yi Zheng. However, before her outstretched hand could touch the corner of Yi Zheng’s clothes, she was grabbed tightly by a pair of large hands.

Tang Zhe’s expression was already extremely cold, but because Chen Jiao was his cousin after all, he forced himself to hold back his anger and said, “Stop talking. Come with me now, or I won’t be able to protect you!”

“I’m not leaving!” Chen Jiao suddenly shook off his hand like a lunatic. Then, she realized what she had just done. She stole a glance at Tang Zhe’s increasingly cold expression and immediately shrank her neck in fear. “Cousin, I’m sorry. I’ll go with you.”

She had almost forgotten that Tang Zhe was the only piece of driftwood that could save her life now. If even Tang Zhe hated her, then she really had no chance of winning.

After trying to cozy up to Yi Zheng for so long, she had long figured out Tang Zhe’s status in Yi Zheng’s heart.

As long as this good cousin was still willing to protect her, she would not lose completely.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiao immediately held Tang Zhe’s hand aggrievedly and pitifully, shaking it gently like a child. “Cousin, I’m sorry. 1’11 go with you. I can give an explanation for what happened today. Please believe me.”

Tang Zhe stuffed her into the car without a word. Then, he returned to the two of them and apologized humbly. “I’m sorry, President Yi, Miss Shi. 1 didn’t manage Chen Jiao well enough to let her speak nonsense today. Please punish me.”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Tang Zhe, think about it carefully. This matter has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to take the blame for her?”

Tang Zhe had been unwilling to get involved in this matter. But ever since he heard Chen Jiao provoke Shi Man in the car, he was certain that Chen Jiao was not a naive girl on the surface.

No matter what, he was the one who brought her into the company. It was due to him believing Chen Jiao’s words that caused today’s disaster. If he hadn’t been negligent that night, Chen Jiao wouldn’t have had so many inappropriate thoughts.

In the end, Chen Jiao was his cousin and he had personally brought her into the company. He should bear the responsibility.

Shi Man nodded in understanding and patted his shoulder comfortingly. “Don’t be in a hurry to take all the blame. After all, Chen Jiao is not simple. There are many things that still need further investigation. When the investigation results are out, you can consider taking back what you said today.”

Tang Zhe frowned in confusion, not understanding why Shi Man would say that. He thought that Shi Man still cared about that night, so he quickly nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ll listen to Miss Shi.”

“Alright, Yi Zheng, don’t make the people inside wait. Let’s go in first.” With that, she turned around and left without waiting for Yi Zheng’s reaction.

Yi Zheng did not look at Tang Zhe again and followed Shi Man.

Actually, he had some doubts in his heart that needed to be confirmed, so he did not flare up too much today. After the matter was investigated, he could find someone to settle it carefully.

On the second floor of the villa, Old Master Huo stood by the window and took in the commotion at the door.

“What’s going on? Who’s that woman?”

The butler also looked down and guessed in confusion, “Maybe that girl said something to make President Yi unhappy?”

“What kind of petty child do you think he is?” Old Master Huo ordered with a fake smile. “Investigate that woman’s identity. Yi Zheng is at the center of the storm now. Don’t let anyone who shouldn’t appear around him take advantage him.”

The butler hurriedly responded and smiled gently. “Old Master, you’re really good to President Yi as if he’s your biological grandson!”

“Of course!” A trace of nostalgia gradually appeared in Old Huo’s eyes.. “Back then, his grandfather and 1 were best friends who lived in the bunkhouse!”
