It turned out that his courage was wrong. When Ji Chu turned around to look at him, he regretted it. His head seemed to have cramps. He actually asked such a vicious question. He really deserved to die.

“Is the research institute still occupied?”

“Dr. Zhang used it a while ago, but he’s gone now.”

“Okay!”

“Professor Ji, do you need the research institute?”

“Yes, I need to use it.”

“Got it!”

Ji Chu did not agree to Jiang Youyi’s request, but he already had a plan in mind. He could reject anyone, including his father, but not Jiang Youyi. No matter how rude Jiang Youyi’s request was, he could not bear to reject her.

Ocean City, in the most high-end district.

Xu Yuning came to see Zhang Meng last night. Although nothing happened between the two of them, Xu Yuning still stayed over. When he opened his eyes, it was already afternoon. Zhang Meng had already prepared food and was waiting for Xu Yuning to wake up.

“What time is it?” Xu Yuning asked Zhang Meng the moment he came out of the bedroom.

“Yuning, you slept so late last night. Why didn’t you rest more?”

Xu Yuning did not answer her. Instead, he chose to sit on the sofa and rub his temples.

“It’s 1:00 p.m.”

“It’s already afternoon?” Xu Yuning did not expect himself to sleep for so long. He quickly took out his phone and started flipping through it.

“Have some food. I know you’ve been tired these past few days. I cooked it. The food outside is not clean. I think it’s better to cook at home. Try it. The clean lamb chop I made is very healthy.”

Zhang Meng was good at cooking. Xu Yuning liked to eat, so he went to the table with her and started to eat.

“Has my mom been causing trouble for you recently?” Xu Yuning asked. What he didn’t understand was that most of the time, it was Zhang Meng who took the initiative to look for Mrs. Xu.

“That’s your mother. She came to look for me because she thinks highly of me.” Zhang Meng didn’t hide anything when she pretended to be weak.

“It’s okay. I’ll tell my mother. You don’t have to worry too much. My mother is a very domineering person. You’ll be at a disadvantage if you interact with her.” Xu Yuning knew that the last time he was hospitalized, Zhang Meng had suffered a lot in order to take care of him.

“How is that so? It’s all my fault for making your mother angry.” Zhang Meng still pretended to be weak.

“You didn’t do anything wrong!” Xu Yuning said calmly.

“It’s really fine. Although I don’t work in the corporation anymore, you bought me a house in the best neighborhood and gave me some money. I’m saving it. It’s enough to last for many years.”

Zhang Meng’s words were very tactful. She was telling Xu Yuning that she no longer had a job and had very little money, but she was not so direct. Xu Yuning also knew that the money he gave Zhang Meng was indeed not much. Now, she has indeed lost her job. He suddenly asked, “Do you want to do something?”

“Huh?” Zhang Meng pretended not to understand.

“What do you want to do? Start a business or something? I can give you money.”

“There’s no need! You’ve already done a lot for me. I don’t want to trouble you anymore. I have a plan to go out to work, but after the abortion, my body is a little weak, so I haven’t gone out. After I recover, I’ll go out to work. I think I’m quite suitable for work.”

Zhang Meng’s words were very skillful. She was telling Xu Yuning that she had an abortion because of him, causing her health to be poor, and she can’t even go out to work now. A rich man like Xu Yuning would not be unmoved when he saw women doing this for him.

Zhang Meng was very smart. She knew that Xu Yuning was very rich, but he could not give it to her for no reason. Hence, she had to find a good reason and make Xu Yuning feel guilty. When a man felt guilty, he would naturally give you money to spend, especially a rich man like Xu Yuning.

When Zhang Meng woke up in the morning and swiped her phone, she saw the news of the banquet last night. She knew that Xu Yuning had spent three million yuan to buy Jiang Youyi’s phone case.

Other than shock, she was also madly jealous. What right did a phone case have? She had even aborted a child for Xu Yuning. However, she had to control her emotions and not let Xu Yuning notice it.

What was so good about Jiang Youyi? What was wrong with her? She just didn’t have a rich father like Jiang Youyi. Other than that, she didn’t think she was inferior to Jiang Youyi. She had sacrificed more for Xu Yuning than Jiang Youyi. Hence, Xu Yuning had to show her some appreciation after bidding for the phone case. Otherwise, it would be too unfair.

As she expected, Xu Yuning immediately felt guilty at the mention of abortion. “If you haven’t recovered yet, you can rest at home! Don’t go to work..”
