Chapter 740 The Truth
The night is already deep.

Night covered the entire sky.

It's already eleven o'clock in the evening.Zhan Mingxi, who was so busy that he had just finished handling the company's affairs, had time to drive home.

Zhan Mingxi stopped the car in front of the villa as usual.Habitually look up and look up, different from the past, the bedroom is pitch black tonight.The light from the study room, which is separated from the bedroom by a wall, is particularly dazzling at night through the glass windows.

What is this silly woman doing in the study without going to bed so late?
Just thinking about it, Zhan Mingxi raised his hand a little irritably and pulled the tie on his chest.The high-pressure and fast-paced working environment all day is like the tie wrapped around his neck, making him a little out of breath.

"Master, you are back." The housekeeper fulfilled his duty, standing respectfully in the gate waiting for Zhan Mingxi.Seeing Zhan Mingxi's appearance, he immediately reached out to take the briefcase in his hand.

"Where's Madam?" Zhan Mingxi asked casually while unbuttoning his suit jacket.

"The madam is upstairs in the study." The butler replied while taking the suit jacket that Zhan Mingxi had taken off.

"What is she doing in the study?" Zhan Mingxi heard the butler's answer, glanced at the butler with his head down, frowned slightly, and asked the question as if talking to himself.

Before the housekeeper could answer his question, Zhan Mingxi strode towards the stairs leading to the bedroom.He is still busy in the study so late, is his little wife in trouble?

When he was approaching the door of the study, Zhan Mingxi, who was in a hurry, suddenly slowed down his hasty pace, and quietly pushed open the door that was not closed tightly.

Through the crack of the door, Zhan Mingxi looked at Gu Qiqi who was busy inside.

Gu Qiqi didn't know what kind of documents he was looking for, there was a large pile of documents scattered on the spacious desk.

At this moment, Gu Qiqi should be sleepy.Facing this pile of boring materials like a hypnotic spell, he rested his head on one hand, like a chicken pecking at rice, and kept nodding his head in sleepiness.

The deliberately designed dim light in the study obliquely shone on the drowsy Gu Qiqi.Outlined a warm and moving picture.

Zhan Mingxi, who was standing at the door peeping, saw this scene, and suddenly a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his originally gloomy handsome face. This smile seemed to be able to melt away the snow-capped mountains that had been frozen for thousands of years.

Zhan Mingxi, who has always held grudges, was still furious and sulking because of this incomprehensible Gu Qiqi all day today, but seeing her cute and stupid appearance in a blink of an eye, he instantly forgot all the unpleasant things before .After all, his Gu Qiqi is still by his side, isn't he?

Gu Qiqi in the room was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.She is working hard to make up for it, preparing materials for tomorrow's exhibition.Originally, she planned to read through the hard-won materials all night long, but she didn't expect that these boring official materials and literary sentences would make her drowsy.

Gu Qiqi did not notice Zhan Mingxi who had been standing at the door for a long time.She was so sleepy that the hand holding her head gradually lost consciousness, and her head fell heavily on the table following gravity.

"Ah..." The sudden severe pain woke up the sleepy Gu Qiqi, let out a subconscious exclamation, and sleepily rubbed his painful forehead.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Mingxi stood outside the door and couldn't stand it anymore.

This stupid woman.

Zhan Mingxi sighed helplessly, put away the rare smile on the corner of his mouth, pretended to keep his face sullen, pushed open the door, and walked into the study.

"Ming...Mingxi?" Gu Qiqi was a little taken aback when he saw Zhan Mingxi who suddenly opened the door and came in.Thinking that he hadn't woken up yet, he rubbed his eyes heavily.

"You stupid woman." Zhan Mingxi stood in front of the desk with his arms folded, staring straight at Gu Qiqi's forehead that had just been hit red by the tabletop, but there was a faint heartache hidden in his eagle-like eyes.

Gu Qiqi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his deer-like deer-like eyes stared at Zhan Mingxi for some unknown reason.Is he still angry about what happened before?

Zhan Mingxi ignored Gu Qiqi's uneasiness and panic, and glanced around at the messy desk, condescendingly looking at the dizzy person at this moment, not knowing whether it was because he hit his head or because he didn't wake up. Gu Qiqi's indifferent tone concealed a hint of pampering.

Following Zhan Mingxi's gaze, Gu Qiqi also glanced around at the materials of the exhibition that he had spread all over the table.At this moment, the desktop was indeed messed up by her.

Gu Qiqi blinked his big watery eyes at Zhan Mingxi, stuck out his tongue embarrassingly, and smiled embarrassingly.But he didn't dare to delay in his hand, and quickly reached out to sort out her information.In an attempt to restore Zhan Mingxi's desk to its original cleanliness in a short period of time.

"Okay." Zhan Mingxi stretched out his long hand and held Gu Qiqi's slender and thin arm, his tone was still indifferent as before, "I'm going to use the study. You go to sleep."

"But..." Gu Qiqi heard what Zhan Mingxi said, and continued to scan the documents scattered on the table, hesitant to speak.

"You don't need to worry about it here, I'll take care of it." Zhan Mingxi said, secretly exerting force on Gu Qiqi's arm, trying to push Gu Qiqi out of the door.

"I..." Gu Qiqi wanted to say something, but was pushed to the door vigorously by Zhan Mingxi.What he wanted to say had to be swallowed abruptly.She had no choice but to obey Zhan Mingxi's wishes and obediently go to the bedroom to sleep.

But she was really sleepy.Pulling on her slippers and walking slowly in the corridor, Gu Qiqi yawned indistinctly, and raised her hand to rub her messy hair.

Zhan Mingxi leaned against the door of the study, looked at Gu Qiqi's tired and thin back as he shuffled away, and shook his head lovingly.

This stupid woman.

Just when Zhan Mingxi was caught in the back of Gu Qiqi's departure, his cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.

It's so late, who could it be?

Zhan Mingxi thought to himself, took out his mobile phone, and found that it was his assistant calling.

"Hello?" Thinking about it, Zhan Mingxi still picked it up.

"Mr. Zhan, I found out the whole story of the last time I framed my wife for damaging the painting." The assistant reported to Zhan Mingxi with serious thoughts.

"Tell me." Upon hearing that it was about Gu Qiqi, Zhan Mingxi quickly put away the faint smile that had just hung on the corner of his mouth, frowned, and said with a serious expression.

"Last time, it was Xiaomei who accused Madam of destroying the painting in person, but according to later investigations, the real behind-the-scenes instigator was actually Jiang Jiayue, Ms. Jiang." The assistant clearly reported the truth of what he investigated. Gave it to Zhan Mingxi.

"Jiang Jiayue?" Zhan Mingxi's tone sank when he heard Jiang Jiayue's name. The sky was clear just now, but his handsome face, which had melted from the ice and snow, was now clouded with clouds, and his gloomy expression made people tremble with fear.

"Yes, President Zhan." Hearing Zhan Mingxi's obviously displeased tone, the assistant on the other end of the phone didn't dare to neglect, and replied respectfully.

"Okay, I understand. I will handle this matter myself. Thank you for your hard work." Zhan Mingxi was silent for a moment, took a long, deep breath, and ended the call hastily.

Well, you Jiang Jiayue, you are so courageous, you dared to hit Gu Qiqi with a bad idea.

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Mingxi held the phone in his hand and squeezed it tightly with such force that he could crush the phone with his bare hands.

Thinking back to the time when Gu Qiqi was so worried about this framed painting that he didn't sleep well for several days, he didn't think about eating or drinking.In just a few days, his small body, which was originally thin, lost a lot of weight all of a sudden.

The little face that was still covered with baby fat instantly sunken a lot.

In order to compensate for this painting, Gu Qiqi borrowed money from Hao Yiming, who was planning to do something wrong. For this reason, an unprecedented violent quarrel broke out between the two of them.

Jiang Jiayue, you are a vicious, vicious woman.

Zhan Mingxi held the hand of the mobile phone, and his bones cracked because of too much force.The obsidian-like deep eyes seem to be able to spew out flames at this moment.

Zhan Mingxi felt that there was no delay in dealing with this matter, so he immediately called Jiang Jiayue.

Although it was almost late at night.But Jiang Jiayue couldn't sleep that night, relying on her sixth sense, she felt an inexplicable uneasiness sweeping towards her.

At this moment, she was tossing and turning restlessly on her big soft bed.

While thinking wildly, she suddenly saw her mobile phone on the bedside table light up, picked it up, and found that it was the call from brother Mingxi, whom she had been thinking about day and night.

Seeing Zhan Mingxi's name reflected on the phone screen, Jiang Jiayue was overjoyed, cleared her throat quickly, and immediately pressed the call button.

"Brother Mingxi." Jiang Jiayue whispered, sweetly calling Zhan Mingxi's name.

Zhan Mingxi frowned when he heard Jiang Jiayue's sharp voice, and moved the phone away from his ear with some disgust.

"Brother Mingxi, why don't you speak?" Jiang Jiayue asked with some doubts when there was no movement on the other end of the phone.

Zhan Mingxi took a deep breath, his tone was as cold as if it could freeze the sun in June, and he said directly: "I will meet you at the coffee shop downstairs at my company at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I have something to tell you."

"Ah?" Jiang Jiayue didn't react to Zhan Mingxi's thoughtless invitation, and asked subconsciously.

But Zhan Mingxi didn't give Jiang Jiayue a chance to ask questions, so he hung up the phone.

Regarding the woman who hurt Gu Qiqi, he didn't want to say a word to her.

And Jiang Jiayue, who was listening to the busy tone on the phone, finally came to her senses, excitedly hammering on the soft quilt, her brother Mingxi took the initiative to ask her to meet at the coffee shop!
