Chapter 1164 Continuous pestering
Tong Zhou also felt that something was wrong with that woman, he might be good-looking looking but he knew his limits. At his age, any woman with a backing like Ji family would think twice before getting close to him and yet Xue Ping was trying to get close to him every day. He was not a fool who could not understand that something was up.
" Is she back again here?" Tang Zhou asked his assistant, given that Song Yan had texted him, it could only mean that Xue Ping had caused trouble in the shooting location and came to his company.
Assistant Chi opened his mouth to reply but before he could say anything, he received a call from the receptionist who told him that Xue Ping was here to find Tang Zhou. She even insisted that Xue Ping had brought a lunch box saying that she wanted to hand it to Tang Zhou.
Sure enough, there was something really up with that woman. She was more focused on Tang Zhou than she was focused on her work! If they had not seen a woman like Tang Zhou's ex-wife before the two of them would have thought that Xue Ping was really a devoted woman. However, after learning their lesson from Tang Zhou's ex-wife, the two of them decided to keep their guard up regarding Xue Ping even if she was the daughter of the Ji family!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat was more, he was worried that Tang Zhou would end up fooling around with that woman which was why he had investigated Xue Ping carefully, and even though that woman looked normal on the surface with a gentle smile and elegant persona, behind the scenes this woman was really arrogant.
Beating, hitting and bullying her classmates, friends and colleagues was something that Xue Ping had done usually as for the stuff that was hidden even from their investigators —— Assistant Chi did not know what kind of evil thoughts that woman was harbouring. After all, they couldn't even trace a few things back like the suicide of one of the classmates back to Xue Ping but they knew that it was related to her.
" I think you should clear it up with her once and for all," Assistant Chi told Tang Zhou with a hint of warning in his eyes. " That woman is not a good woman, it's better for you to draw the line before she clings to you even more."
Though Assistant Chi would have loved to say something more he did not have the right to do so, as there was no evidence of Xue Ping harming anyone directly. She had always been behind the scenes and he could not push the blame on her head just because of rumours.
" I know," Tang Zhou nodded after hearing Assistant Chi's words. Even if Assistant Chi hadn't taken the initiative to warn him, he still would not have agreed to date Xue Ping. Not only because she was way too young for him but also because she was not a woman who was cut from the same cloth as him.
He was calm and collected with no arrogance and Xue Ping was the exact opposite, she was stubborn, arrogant and ill-tempered. She did not even know how to sit still without causing trouble. He truly had nothing in common with that woman! Why would he find trouble for himself by getting entangled with her?
In fact, he had met with Xue Ping in the past and she had never shown any kind of appreciation towards him much less any sort of attraction.
However, for some reason, that woman was suddenly getting more and more enthusiastic towards him. She had completely changed her attitude towards him and she was so caring and respectful towards him that if anyone saw her they would be moved by her actions. But Tang Zhou did not feel moved, he only felt that there was something that he did not know about that woman, especially when her burning gaze was fixated on him every time she saw him.
Tang Zhou could not figure out what was the reason for the sudden change in that woman's attitude towards him. Why was it that he suddenly became the point of attraction for her when she had always treated him respectfully like a stranger? They did not even know one another before that collision that happened at the filming location.
What was more, her actions confused him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXue Ping did not hide her affectionate actions towards him, if anything she made bold and frantic gestures towards him which left him speechless. He was a man who was older than her brother and he was divorced as well, other than his money there was nothing that he had in his hands, but Ji Ziyi was rich as well!
If Xue Ping had chased after him privately by sending him messages and calls, he would have refused her but she was doing it so boldly that he did not know how to refuse her without embarrassing her.
However, it was going too far! Now even his friends were teasing him saying all sorts of nonsense which did not sit well with Tang Zhou. Looks like he would have to deal with this matter clearly.
He turned to look at his Assistant and then said, "Assistant Chi, go and bring Miss Ji up to the office, I will clear things up with her."
He was not an unreasonable person nor did Tang Zhou believe in being unreliable since a young woman had long gone astray as her senior, he needed to bring her back on the right path.
Assistant Chi nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his friend and boss would lose sight of what was important in the face of beauty but now that Tang Zhou had cleared up the matter he was not going to deal with Xue Ping anymore.
They all can finally heave a sigh of relief!
" I will bring her up."
