In the living room, Ji Mushan stood across Yun Se, his face turning extremely pale and unsightly. 

Yun Se was sitting in a wheelchair, clutching the armrests tightly with her skinny fingers, the veins on the back of her hands protruding, and there was hatred in her eyes. “How much Chaozhou is like his mother, don’t you know?”

If she wasn’t about to die and worried that Chaozhou would not have any relatives around him, Yun Se would never advise her nephew to reconcile with Ji Mushan.

“The problems of people from the previous generation don’t need to involve Chaozhou. Even if the two of them…” Ji Mushan closed his eyes hard, then opened his eyes and said, “Cheng Liu is different.” 

“Oh, she is different,” Yun Se’s tone was a little sharp. “You were just starting out at her age, and you still had family support behind you. If Cheng Liu can reach such a position by herself at her age, she can only be more ruthless than you.”

Once the feelings fade, she was afraid that Cheng Liu would just whip out a knife and cut the ties between them with one stroke. When it ends, Chaozhou would be the only one left suffering.

For a moment, Ji Mushan didn’t know how to refute this. He met Cheng Liu and found that she was really powerful. She was young but experienced, and he couldn’t find any loopholes.

Most people were confused by Cheng Liu’s casual dress and thought she was more technical-minded. Only after being in contact with her did they realize that she was not simple at all.

Such a person would calculate gains and losses in every move she made.

…… No, that seemed wrong.

Ji Mushan suddenly remembered Cheng Liu’s behavior at the auction. At that time, she was behaving like a fool in love, and she didn’t even think about the consequences of offending him.

“In any case, Chaozhou’s situation is his own decision,” Ji Mushan finally said. “There is no need for us to interfere, not to mention that they are just neighbors.”

Yun Se turned away and said coldly, “Looking at them, there is clearly something between with them. Something will happen sooner or later.”

Before Ji Mushan could respond, Yun Se pushed the wheelchair and said, “I’m tired, you can show yourself out.”

Ji Mushan stood there for a long time, before he finally left.

In Shenyin Technology Company, the program team that had followed Cheng Liu all day was just about to wrap up.

“I’ve seen a lot of things today with Young President Cheng,” Yun Fei said to the camera with a stiff smile on her face.

After arriving at the company, many of the words she had prepared beforehand were not used at all. She didn’t know enough about Shenyin Technology’s products, so Cheng Liu had to guide her through the whole process.

Other than when the livestream began, no one in the barrage paid any attention to Yun Fei, or even to the handsome Assistant who had been standing there the entire time. Everyone just praised Cheng Liu.

He Bai lowered his head and looked at the hot searches pushed on his phone. He glanced at the camera with his peripheral vision, took a step forward and approached Cheng Liu, handed her the phone, and whispered, “Senior sister, you are on the hot search.”

His voice was unclear and vague. Yun Fei captured it on her mobile phone and transmitted it to the audience in the live broadcast room.

Cheng Liu looked down at his phone and didn’t pay attention to Yun Fei’s barrage.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at the animated picture of herself climbing over the wall. She clicked on the comments and scrolled through them. Fortunately, no one paid any more attention to who lived next door.

As for having her own emoticons and even spreading them wide, Young President Cheng took it in stride.

It was just a little embarrassment—she could bear it.

Cheng Liu returned the phone to He Bai, raised her head again and smiled at Yun Fei, and said goodbye to the audience, “I will invite you to visit the company again when I have the opportunity.”

The director cut off the livestream, and this episode ended.

Cheng Liu politely sent the program crew out. After everyone left, she turned around and walked in. The smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she stood expressionless in the elevator.

The original plan was disrupted. She didn’t know what Yun Fei was thinking, insisting on entangling Ji Chaozhou in public.

“Senior sister, I have something to ask,” He Bai said standing behind Cheng Liu.

Cheng Liu tilted her head, “What?”

“Why did you suddenly want to break up with Wang Hongyang?” He Bai asked tentatively, “Is there someone else you like?”

Cheng Liu felt a little guilty when he mentioned this.

Mistaking Wang Hongyang for Ji Chaozhou was a hurdle she would never be able to overcome.

Young President Cheng has cursed her moral decline countless times in her heart, but she couldn’t resist her longing for Ji Chaozhou, and finally had to give up on morality altogether.

“Half a year ago, I didn’t think clearly about it, so I just dated people casually,” Cheng Liu admitted. “Now I have someone I really like.”

Looking back now, Cheng Liu didn’t know why she was so obsessed with Wang Hongyang that night.

In fact, the second Wang Hongyang said a few words to her, she already had the thought of giving up. At that time, she should have just cut her losses, but she couldn’t forget the sight of him at the cruise ship and was unwilling to let go.

“Is it your current neighbor next door?” He Bai clenched his hands behind his back, trying to maintain a chatting attitude.

When Ji Chaozhou was mentioned, Cheng Liu felt better, “Yes, he’s the one.”

The elevator door opened and the two of them walked out one after another.

“His name seems to be Ji Chaozhou. How do you know him?” He Bai asked out of pure curiosity, “I remember we’ve had no cooperation with Ranshan.” 

“The first time we met was at the airport, I thought he was Wang Hongyang,” Cheng Liu explained.

At that time, she had not seen Wang Hongyang for so long that she had completely forgotten how he looked. The most profound thing in her memory was always that surprising first glimpse at the cruise ship banquet, so she mistook the wrong person.

He Bai was stunned. Cheng Liu didn’t seem to know that Ji Chaozhou had appeared at the cruise banquet.

“Don’t worry, when we get together in the future, I will definitely ask you to be a witness when we get married,” Cheng Liu started to draw beautiful images in her mind again.

He Bai forced a smile. They weren’t even together yet. She already wanted to get married?

In the end, he still didn’t tell Cheng Liu about Ji Chaozhou being at the cruise ship banquet half a year ago.

“Are you going back?” He Bai watched Cheng Liu pack her backpack and said, “You didn’t drive today, so I’ll drive you home.”

He wanted to meet this ‘talented perfumer’.

“No, there are other places I need to go to first, I’ll just take a taxi.” Cheng Liu picked up the black backpack and left the company.

She planned to buy genuine desserts today. The address had been confirmed by the employee on the seventeenth floor, so she would not go wrong again.
