Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 853 Wen Ning, I will never abandon you again.

But Zhou Yi didn't give Wen Ning a chance to leave; he took Wen Ning's hand again.

His gaze was fixed on Wen Ning, carrying a reassuring strength.

Soon, Wen Ning heard Zhou Yi's voice: "Xu Jia, are you sure I have to go to the signing ceremony tonight?"

Xu Jia felt a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly said, "Yes... Raine specifically requested that you be there."

One sentence was enough to quiet Zhou Yi down.

Wen Ning didn't respond, her eyes fixed on Zhou Yi out of the corner of her eye. She didn't know whether Zhou Yi would agree or refuse.

His previous remarks against Xu Jia were a clear sign that they had completely broken off relations.

If Xu Jia did not lie about this, then he should bear the full responsibility.

However, Wen Ning was surprised.

"Raine is in New York and wouldn't sign a contract online. If my information is correct, his flight won't arrive in China until the day after tomorrow."

"Tonight's meeting was at most a rehearsal before the signing, with both sides' lawyers checking for issues in the contract and making sure everything was correct."

“If you can’t even handle something like this, I don’t know what your purpose is in the company.”

Zhou Yi's voice was steady, but every word he uttered was accusatory against Xu Jia.

Xu Jia instantly felt embarrassed.

There was complete silence on the other end of the phone.

Wen Ning was somewhat surprised, not expecting Zhou Yi to be so blunt with Xu Jia.

At the very least, he is completely different from the previous Zhou Yi.

At that time, Zhou Yi would only side with Xu Jia and would never believe in himself.

Wen Ning remained silent throughout the entire process.

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Xu Jia's calm yet aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, I understand."

There were no threats, no complaints, just acceptance.

This side of Xu Jia made Wen Ning feel uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Based on Wen Ning's understanding of Xu Jia, Xu Jia is actually someone who wouldn't do something unprepared.

Even though she is at a disadvantage now, Xu Jia will not let herself fall into a disadvantageous position.

Therefore, given Xu Jia's personality, it's imperative for her to contact Zhou Yi now.

Zhou Yi refused.

After a moment of silence, Wen Ning was still confused about what had happened.

In the end, Wen Ning calmed down.

Xu Jia hung up the phone.

Zhou Yi looked at Wen Ning, but his voice remained calm.

"Wen Ning, I will never abandon you again." Zhou Yi's words were filled with promise and assurance.

Wen Ning didn't say anything either.

Zhou Yi looked at Wen Ning quietly: "What are you thinking about?"

Wen Ning looked up: "What if what Xu Jia said is true? Based on my understanding of her, she wouldn't do something unprepared."

Zhou Yi simply looked at Wen Ning; no one could guess what Zhou Yi was thinking at that moment.

“Since she asked you to go, if she’s lying, can’t you expose her when you get there?” Wen Ning continued, offering a very rational analysis.

Disliking Xu Jia is one thing.

However, after entering this circle, Wen Ning also knew what he should and shouldn't do.

“So I think Xu Jia wouldn’t lie, at least not about this.” Wen Ning finished speaking. “If you don’t go and the contract isn’t signed, then everyone will turn against you, and public opinion will turn against me. Xu Jia wouldn’t let me go six years ago, does she think she’ll just pretend nothing happened six years later?”

Wen Ning expressed his meaning very clearly.

Zhou Yi didn't say anything even after Wen Ning finished speaking.

This made Wen Ning even more confused.

In the end, Wen Ning remained silent.

"Don't overthink it, I'll handle everything." Zhou Yi smiled, seemingly not putting any pressure on Wen Ning.

"Were you prepared?" Wen Ning replied.

Zhou Yi nodded: "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

Wen Ning understood this principle.

Wen Ning knew Zhou Yi well; this man never did anything unprepared.

Finally, Wen Ning nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Zhou Yi got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door for Wen Ning.

As soon as Wen Ning got out of the car, Zhou Yi took her hand.

Very natural movement.

Wen Ning didn't refuse.

The two walked towards the apartment.

At that time——

Xu Jia stared at the disconnected phone, her gaze growing increasingly somber.

It is a feeling of resentment and anger.

It seems that the methods we used before are all ineffective in this situation.

Zhou Yi was like a completely different person, standing firmly in front of Wen Ning.

Xu Jia was certainly not willing to accept this.

She lowered her brows and became even quieter.

The assistant stepped forward: "Miss, what should we do now? Mr. Ryan is waiting."

The assistant also seemed very nervous.

Ryan was lured back by Xu Jia with various excuses, so Ryan must meet Zhou Yi in person.

I won't sign the contract until I meet Zhou Yi in person.

Everyone was certain that Zhou Yi would come, but no one expected that Zhou Yi would actually not come.

If Rennes doesn't sign the contract, it means the company will lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

Xu Jia was still in charge of this contract, and everyone knows what that means.

"To tell you the truth," Xu Jia said calmly to her assistant. "Also, pin the blame for the contract failure on Wen Ning. Do you know that Daji bewitched King Zhou?"

The assistant had been with Xu Jia for many years and was someone Xu Jia trusted implicitly.

Therefore, Xu Jia's assistant basically knows everything about her.

Xu Jia has already transferred a lot of assets. If this attempt fails, she will use it as an excuse to leave the Zhou Group.

Many things will then fall into place naturally.

These signs of corruption within the Zhou family will be fully exposed to everyone.

Both Zhou Yi and Su Rui will be caught off guard.

The shareholders will then blame Wen Ning.

Add to that Wen Suisui's matter.

Xu Jia believed she had the upper hand, so she remained calm and composed.

Seeing this, the assistant didn't know what to say, so he quickly nodded and left in a hurry.

……

Wen Ning returned to her apartment and took a shower.

Zhou Yi stayed with Wen Ning the whole time, seemingly not taking Xu Jia's words to heart at all.

Even when Wen Ning was sleeping, it was Zhou Yi who coaxed her to sleep.

Zhou Yi's assertiveness and gentleness are not contradictory at all; he is clearly forcing Wen Ning to do things she doesn't want to do.

But when Zhou Yi looks at you tenderly, Wen Ning feels an inexplicable sense of compromise.

It seems that all these years, she has been so disappointing, unable to escape Zhou Yi's domineering nature.

Wen Ning remained silent.

"Go to sleep," Zhou Yi said softly, his words filled with tenderness.

Wen Ning didn't respond, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Zhou Yi chuckled very softly, a sound that Wen Ning found utterly inexplicable.

Wen Ning calmly looked at Zhou Yi without speaking immediately.

"Wen Ning, regardless of whether Xu Jia is right or wrong tonight, and regardless of whether Xu Jia did it on purpose or not, first and foremost, I will put you first."

"I have lost a lot because of my career and for various other reasons. Now that I am this age, I think that fame and fortune do not mean much to me anymore."

“Even if this matter causes losses to the Zhou Group, I can resign to take responsibility. That way, I will have enough time to spend with you.”
