Inheriting 300 million and a sick boyfriend

Chapter 43: Eating the melon and eating it on your own head

"I heard that as soon as you returned to work, you went to your second uncle to ask for money?"

"how do you know?"

Zhou Weiyi, who was just getting off work, ignored the curious looks of people around him and just got into the car when he heard Bai Yanan's question.

Bai Yanan looked at the man who had just returned to work and whose reputation had been damaged, without further explanation.

The main reason was that he didn't want Zhou Weiyi to know that he had been keeping an eye on him privately, and being treated as a pervert would affect his reputation.

"Don't worry about how I know this. Just tell me if this is true or not."

"That's called a reasonable request for a pay raise, not asking for money."

In his opinion, asking for money is "taking it for free", but since he has gone to work and done the work, it cannot be considered taking it for free.

"But he's already offered you a very high salary at the beginning. If you increase it further... isn't that inappropriate?"

Yanan had never asked Zhou Weiyi about his salary before, and didn't know he was asking for so much.

Of course, the most unexpected thing was that Zhou Hongxin actually gave it to him when he asked for it!

"What's inappropriate about that? I just mentioned it, I didn't threaten him like you did. If he doesn't want to give it to me, he doesn't have to."

Bai Yanan, who was suddenly cueed, said: I knew this kid was still holding a grudge for what happened this morning!

Since Zhou Hongxin was willing to give it, she had nothing to say about it, but——

"Add less next time. I'm the one who'll be scolded for your addition!"

"Why are you scolding me for getting a pay raise at work?"

Bai Yanan looked at the person who really had no idea of ​​the interests involved and held his forehead helplessly.

The relationship between the two is quite special and they live together, so of course it is easy for misunderstandings to arise.

Otherwise, Zhou Hongxin would not have sent a message to question himself after agreeing to give him a salary increase.

She didn't want to be considered a gold digger by the Zhou family who ordered Zhou Weiyi to ask for money, so she explained the relationship to him very seriously.

After learning the reason, Zhou Weiyi thought about it for a while.

"That means, if I get into trouble at the company, you will definitely be called in like a parent?"

"What do you want to do?!"

When Bai Yanan heard this, her alarm bells immediately rang.

She used to think he was very quiet and wouldn't cause any trouble, so she dared to send him to the company.

Now that this person has lost some of his memory, he seems to have been unsealed to some extent and is trying to let himself go. She is a little nervous.

"If you don't want to do anything, just ask casually."

"It's better if you just ask casually. If you do something out there that I can't control, I'll just have to control you."

"Humph, a bad woman who threatens people at every turn."

His mumbling was very soft, but they were sitting side by side, so close to each other, and the car was so quiet that Bai Yanan could hear it clearly.

Unexpectedly, after losing my memory and starting dating again, I was labeled a bad woman after just a few days.

Bai Yanan didn't know whether there was something wrong with the way she was getting along with him now, or whether this man had always thought of her this way.

It's just that he was too good at pretending in the past, so he didn't realize it. Now that he doesn't want to pretend anymore, it's exposed.

Fortunately, she was a kind-hearted person and didn't care about it.

Since he thinks I am a bad woman, then I will be that bad woman.

As long as I can control him and exercise my guardian's power, it doesn't matter.

"Okay, fasten your seatbelts, the bad girl is going to take you home."

Zhou Weiyi could still argue with her about other things, but he couldn't argue with her about driving.

He was afraid that Bai Yanan's third-rate driving skills would make him angry and he would be thrown into the air.

As soon as Bai Yanan spoke, he immediately fastened his seat belt.

As the car started, the interior became quiet.

Bai Yanan had something else to ask, but gave up after opening her mouth. Zhou Weiyi had been like this since he started working at Zhou Group, never taking the initiative to talk about what happened at work.

At the beginning, Bai Yanan was worried that he would be bullied, so she asked him a few questions from the side to find out about his employment status.

But later I found that he could handle his own affairs very well. I was afraid that if I asked too much, it would put him under undue pressure, so I seldom asked him about his work.

If Zhou Hongxin hadn't told her directly this time, saying that she had instigated Zhou Weiyi to ask for money, she would not have asked him about the salary increase.

I originally thought that it wasn't a big deal that he asked for a salary increase on his first day back at work.

It was not until one day when the melon fell on his head that he realized how careless he was.

The coffee shop that I often go to after sending Zhou Weiyi to work is close to the Zhou Group, and employees of the Zhou Group often go there to drink coffee.

There, she could often hear gossip about the Zhou Group.

That day she was sitting in the store as usual, and there happened to be three or four employees of Zhou Group sitting next to her.

Several people were whispering about a little gossip about a new male employee being kept by a rich woman.

Adhering to the principle of never listening to gossip, she seemed to be working on her computer, but her ears were perked up to listen to what others were saying.

At first, she thought everything was fine, just an ordinary story of a rich woman supporting a gigolo.

It was not until she heard the words "Mr. Zhou", "he is picked up and dropped off to get off work by the rich woman every day", and "she is a beautiful rich woman" that she realized something was wrong.

Except for the fact that I feel I have nothing to do with a real rich woman, all other conditions are met.

But I was afraid that I had misunderstood. Maybe there was someone else with the same surname as Zhou who also had someone to pick him up?

The case was solved when a few people mentioned that the woman had a position in the company but did not have to do any work and they were just short of reporting her license plate number.

"He really seems to have no ability at all. If he hadn't been with a rich woman, he wouldn't have been able to get into this company at all."

"In the company, he still acts like he doesn't care about anyone, but in private, he doesn't even know how the rich woman plays with him. He's really pretentious."

"Yes, I heard that some rich women like to keep a pretty gigolo and abuse him. He might have been ruined by him a long time ago."

"That's right! His mental state seems very abnormal, I guess it's..."

"..."

The "rich woman" Bai Yanan, who was standing nearby, twitched her face as she listened to the sour and fabricated conversation between the people.

These people have such a good imagination!
Zhou Weiyi doesn't look like someone she would abuse, okay? She doesn't have that hobby!
Besides, it was true that I helped him get into Zhou Group, but I was just a connecter, and he was qualified to work there because of his identity.

He is not short of money, and he does not need to be supported by someone to get to the top.

She had originally just wanted to treat this fabricated story as a joke, but what they said was really too much.

So she turned around and looked at the few people very friendly while typing on her laptop keyboard.

"Hey, my friends, spreading obscene rumors is a crime of fabricating facts and slandering others. In serious cases, you may go to jail~"

Several people who were discussing heatedly fell silent upon hearing this and turned to look at Bai Yanan.

There were only a few people and Bai Yanan in this area, and they soon realized that she was talking about them.

"You are a fellow traveler, you know something, just stand up for justice!"

Every time Bai Yanan drove to pick up Zhou Weiyi, she almost never got out of the car. Most people only knew that he was being picked up by someone, but they rarely saw her.

These people obviously did not recognize that she was the person being discussed.

Bai Yanan saw that several people were unhappy, but she didn't get angry. She pointed to the phone that was still recording.

"What a coincidence! I happen to know both of the people you mentioned. If you don't mind, I might be able to contact the parties involved and confirm with you in person whether the recording is true."

Although several people did not recognize her, they became visibly uncomfortable when they heard that she had recorded the conversation and knew the person involved.

"This... this is none of our business. We just heard it from others! If you want to find someone, go find the person who said it first!"

After they finished talking, they stopped drinking their coffee and left in a hurry.

Bai Yanan turned off the phone, which actually recorded nothing, and sighed.

Does this kid know what kind of reputation he has among the public...
