Chapter 101 Tangled Peach

Zhou Chen had a very pleasant meal with Hong Bada and his friends. Hong Bada promised to help him find two professional photographers and also agreed to let Guoran join their own circle of photographers, which made Guoran very happy.

Because according to Hong Boda, their small circle would often organize some group travel and photo shoots. If he really joined in, it would definitely be a great boost to his dream of photography, and he would progress much faster than if he explored on his own.

The two sides parted happily. After separating from Hong Baida and the others, he took Zhou Chen to his brother Hu Qixing's pet shop, and the four of them ate around the hot pot until the early morning.

After several days of on-the-job training, Zhou Chen decided to choose a good day to open the business, and the date was set on May 3rd.

It is now the end of April and there are not many days left until May 3rd, but Zhou Chen has already made all the necessary preparations. He has also contacted the photographers found by Hong Boda, and they are all very good.

However, Hong Baida also told him privately that the two photographers he found were not from his circle. Since they were not qualified, he did not ask Zhou Chen to treat them well, as long as he did not treat them unfairly.

Although Hong Baida said so, after all, it was he who brought her here, so Zhou Chen certainly couldn't fail to take care of her. He still had to take care of her when necessary, and he understood such social etiquette.

After studying in Zhou Chen's shop for a few days, Yang Tao's leg injury has almost recovered, at least it no longer affects his walking.

That afternoon, she asked Jiao Yang and Lan Weiwei, who were on break, to come out for tea.

"Taozi, you didn't go to work today."

After the three of them sat together, Jiao Yang asked Yang Tao curiously, "Didn't you take a leave to travel to Mount Tai with Zhou Chen? I looked at the photos you collected. Wow, they are so beautiful, especially those photos of Zhou Chen holding you. They are so perfect."

He and Lan Weiwei both knew that Yang Tao and Zhou Chen went to Mount Tai for a trip. He also looked at Yang Tao's space and saw the photos that Yang Tao posted.

"Yeah, I think it's beautiful too. It was taken by a friend we met when we were hiking. He's a professional and his photos are much better than the ones Zhou Chen and I took."

Speaking of photos, Yang Tao was also very happy. The screen of her current mobile phone was one of those photos, and the same was true for Zhou Chen's mobile phone screen.

Jiao Yang was relieved: "So it was taken by a professional photographer. I was wondering why it was taken so beautifully. How about it, Taozi, isn't Taishan fun? Looking at the photo of you and Zhou Chen, you two are doing well."

Facing Jiao Yang's teasing, Yang Tao smiled sweetly: "Well, Zhou Chen and I have officially established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but we didn't do anything during this trip to Mount Tai. I injured my leg while climbing the mountain, so I came back early."

"what?"

Jiao Yang exclaimed, and even Lan Weiwei, who was distracted, showed concern.

"Taozi, how did you hurt your leg? Did you do it while climbing a mountain? Zhou Chen is such a jerk. He's a grown man, but he doesn't even know how to protect you."

Upon learning that Yang Tao was injured, Jiao Yang felt concerned but also had a small complaint to Zhou Chen.

"Okay, don't blame Zhou Chen. I was hit by a camera dropped by a college student. Zhou Chen almost had a conflict with those college students because of this."

When Yang Tao told Jiao Yang about the situation, he pinched his fingers and angrily cursed: "What kind of quality is that woman? She is still a college student. Zhou Chen is right. That kind of person really brings shame to the college student community. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I would definitely not let her go easily."

Yang Tao said generously: "It's all in the past, why are you still talking about it? I've been resting at home for most of the time. A few days ago, I was in Zhou Chen's store training with his employees."

Jiao Yang asked in astonishment: "Why did you go to Zhou Chen's store for training? Are you quitting your job at the hotel?"

"Yes, Taozi, you are doing a good job at the hotel." Lan Weiwei also looked surprised.

"What's good about that?"

Speaking of hotels, Yang Tao was very depressed. "You all know that I have worked in the hotel for six years and I was going to sign a new contract this year, but I went to the human resources department to ask, and they were unwilling to sign a contract with me in advance. It seemed as if they didn't want to sign with me."

"What? How can your hotel be so shameless? You've worked here for six years, and now they just say they don't want you anymore." Jiao Yang cursed indignantly.

Yang Tao: "Yeah, I didn't expect that. I was still waiting to sign the contract. It was Zhou Chen who reminded me. He wanted me to be the manager of his store, but I felt that we were just boyfriend and girlfriend now. If I went to his store, it would have a bad influence. Besides, I was reluctant to give up my current job. But who knew that the hotel would treat me like this."

"Jiao Yang, Weiwei, what do you think I should do now? Should I continue to work in the hotel until the contract expires, or should I find a new job?"

Jiao Yang immediately said, "Why are you still hesitating? Your crappy hotel is so unfriendly. Why are you still working here? You'll lose money if you work one more day. Besides, your contract is about to expire. Even if you stay until then, you won't get any compensation. You might as well just quit."

Yang Tao nodded and said, "Although I feel a little reluctant, I actually think so too. There is still more than a month left, and it's meaningless to continue working. So should I find a new job?"

"What are you looking for, Taozi? Is there something wrong with your brain? Your boyfriend Zhou Chen has such a big store and asked you to be the manager, but you refused and have to find a new job. I think you are just bored." Jiao Yang couldn't help but scold Yang Tao.

Yang Tao: "I'm just afraid. After all, we're just boyfriend and girlfriend. What if, I mean what if, what if something happens between Zhou Chen and I? It will be very troublesome."

"Bah, bah, bah."

Jiao Yang spat on the ground several times: "Taozi, you just established your relationship, and you're already thinking so much. I'm really defeated by you. I can see that Zhou Chen is sincere to you. As long as you don't change your mind, I think he shouldn't change his mind."

"How could I change my mind? I definitely won't. I'm just afraid of him. After all, he's so outstanding. I'm worried."

Yang Tao looked worried. She couldn't tell these words to anyone else but her best friend.

"I admit that Zhou Chen is good, but you are not bad either. Look at your beauty and figure. It is his blessing to marry you. How could he change his mind?"

Jiao Yang concluded: "I think you shouldn't think too much. If you become the manager of a bridal shop, you will have more time to spend with him. It's much better than looking for other jobs, right, Weiwei, Weiwei..."

He wanted Lan Weiwei to help him persuade Yang Tao, but after calling her twice, he found that Lan Weiwei ignored him and stared at the coffee in front of her with lifeless eyes.

"Weiwei, what's wrong with you?"

After pushing Lan Weiwei, Lan Weiwei suddenly woke up and looked at Jiao Yang blankly: "What's wrong?"

Jiao Yang looked at her strangely and asked, "I called you for a long time but you didn't respond. What are you doing staring at the coffee?"

Yang Tao also noticed Lan Weiwei's strange behavior and asked, "Weiwei, what's wrong with you? You look distracted, are you worried about something?"

Chapter 102 Ending (Update!)

Lan Weiwei did have something on her mind, and it was a very serious one, but she didn't know whether she should say it out loud because it would be embarrassing if others knew.

They were all playmates who grew up together, so when Yang Tao and Jiao Yang saw Lan Weiwei's expression and condition, they knew that something bad must have happened.

"Weiwei, what happened? We are best friends. Only if you tell us can we help you solve it."

Yang Tao originally wanted to discuss his work problems with them today, but now it seems that Lan Weiwei has encountered something more serious.

Lan Weiwei hesitated and still couldn't make up her mind to say it, because she had always been strong-willed and felt that she was stronger than Yang Tao. But now Yang Tao was getting happier and happier, while she had suffered a major blow, so she was ashamed to speak.

Jiao Yang was anxious, and when he saw Lan Weiwei's look, he became even more anxious: "Weiwei, just tell us what's the matter. Only when you tell us can we help you. You're procrastinating like this, and it makes us anxious."

Seeing that Yang Tao and Jiao Yang were looking at her with concern, Lan Weiwei took a deep breath.

"It's my boyfriend. Something happened to him."

Jiao Yang: "Is it your mysterious boyfriend who is said to be the CEO of a listed company? What happened to him?"

"He was caught."

"Caught?"

This answer left Yang Tao and Jiao Yang confused.

"What does being caught mean? Is it what we think it means?"

Lan Weiwei nodded and said, "It's just as you thought. He was arrested by the public security department."

Yang Tao was puzzled: "Weiwei, didn't you say he was the CEO of a listed company? How could such a prominent person be arrested suddenly? Did he commit a crime, or was there some other reason?"

"Yes, how could he be arrested by the public security department for no reason? He must have committed something, right?" Jiao Yang said.

Lan Weiwei crossed his fingers, took another deep breath, and then said, "He has indeed committed a crime. He abused his power to enrich himself. The amount of stolen money involved is more than one million. And the evidence is irrefutable. I'm afraid he will really go to jail."

Hearing this, Yang Tao and Jiao Yang looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort Lan Weiwei.

But who would have thought that before they could comfort her, Lan Weiwei wiped away her tears and put away her sadness.

"I went to the detention center to see him. From the comrades there, I learned what happened and what kind of a scumbag he was. This scumbag deceived me. He was clearly married, but he lied to me that he was not married. I was deceived by him for three whole years."

Seeing Lan Weiwei's emotional breakdown, Yang Tao and Jiao Yang were even more confused. What kind of plot was this? Her boyfriend of three years had actually been married for a long time, but Lan Weiwei didn't notice it at all. How stupid was that?

But now we can't rub salt into the wound, Yang Tao walked to Lan Weiwei and hugged her to comfort her.

"It's okay, Weiwei. This can be considered a blessing in disguise for you. Now that you know the true face of this scumbag, you can avoid being hurt even more in the future."

Jiao Yang started to curse directly: "Oh my god, today I have learned a lot. There are actually such men. He deserves to be arrested. Such people should be cut into pieces and die without a burial place. Weiwei, how is that scumbag now? Has he been sentenced?"

With Yang Tao's comfort, Lan Weiwei slowly calmed down and continued speaking.

It turned out that after Zhuang Yan was arrested, his wife did not even think of rescuing him, but instead ran away with their family’s cash as soon as possible. Now no one knows where she has gone.

Lan Weiwei wanted to question Zhuang Yan in person, but after seeing Zhuang Yan, who would have thought that Zhuang Yan would burst into tears in front of her, begging for her forgiveness, and promising that as long as Lan Weiwei could not help him pay the fine, he would marry her and be devoted to her when he got out.

After what happened, how could Lan Weiwei trust him again? She turned away on the spot.

Zhuang Yan is not a good person, but Lan Weiwei is not completely sincere either. The main reason she is with Zhuang Yan is because of Zhuang Yan's identity. If Zhuang Yan was not the vice president of a listed company but an ordinary person, she would never have been in a relationship with Zhuang Yan for three years.

Now not only has Zhuang Yan been arrested, but the truth has been exposed, and he also wants her to help pay the fine. It is simply a pipe dream. If there weren't a railing between them, she would have wanted to slap him. How could she help Zhuang Yan again?

After listening to Lan Weiwei's narration, Jiao Yang waved his hands in disbelief. "I am really speechless. This incident really refreshed my worldview. Oh my God, there are such shameless people in the world. They are simply scumbags among scumbags. I am so angry, I am really so angry."

"Gulu, Guru."

After finishing all the coffee in one gulp, Jiao Yang said to Lan Weiwei, "Weiwei, look at what you did. Can you be more careful when dating a boyfriend in the future? Find out more about the other person before talking about it? If it weren't for that guy's mistake this time, I don't know how long you would have been deceived by him. I really admire you. It's been three years, and you didn't notice anything. If you could have introduced him to us earlier, we might have found out."

But he didn't know that Lan Weiwei had something evil in mind, so how could she possibly bring Zhuang Yan here for them to meet.

"Okay, Jiao Yang, stop talking. What's the point of saying this now? Weiwei is sadder than anyone else right now. We need to comfort her and help her get over it."

Yang Tao's words made Lan Weiwei feel even more guilty and she regretted her original choice immensely. If she had known that Zhuang Yan was such a scumbag, how could she have done such a morally corrupt thing?

After that, Yang Tao stopped talking about her own affairs and kept comforting Lan Weiwei. Although Jiao Yang was very angry and dissatisfied with Lan Weiwei's stupidity, he did not say anything unpleasant.

At night, Zhou Chen and Yang Tao hugged each other tightly and leaned against the head of the bed.

Yang Tao told her mother that she had moved back to her rental house, using the excuse that her leg had healed. But in fact, she was training at a bridal shop during the day and went home with Zhou Chen at night. She had not returned to her rental house for several nights.

Yang Tao told Zhou Chen what Lan Weiwei said today, and Zhou Chen was also very surprised after hearing it.

Zhuang Yan's arrest was his masterpiece, but he really had no idea what happened afterwards. He was just waiting for the final judgment.

After learning that Zhuang Yan’s wife had absconded with the money, he was also happy. This guy really deserved it. He was a scumbag and his wife was not a good one either.

Without the money to pay the fine and with irrefutable evidence, in this situation, it will probably take more than a decade for him to get out.

As for Lan Weiwei, Zhou Chen was extremely disdainful. This woman was not a good person either. This time, he dealt with Zhuang Yan, which actually helped her a lot. At least she would not have another miscarriage.

"Zhou Chen, I've thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally decided to resign from the hotel and leave. I won't work there anymore, and I won't look for a new job. I will just work in your bridal shop."

Yang Tao, who was lying in his arms, suddenly raised his head and spoke to Zhou Chen with a serious expression.

"really?"

Zhou Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. He had persuaded Yang Tao many times before, but Yang Tao refused. Now she suddenly agreed, which made him really happy.

Yang Tao: "Yeah, really, I thought too much and had too many concerns before, but after what happened with Weiwei, I have some insights. I think our relationship can stand the test. No matter what happens, as long as we can be honest with each other, we can solve it. Unless one day you don't want me anymore, I will never leave you."

"Little fool, how could I not want you?"

Zhou Chen scratched Yang Tao's nose, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "In this world, I can give up anyone, but I will never give up you. To me, you are the most important. I am really happy that you can figure it out."

"I was too insecure before, and I was afraid of being hurt again, but now I am not afraid anymore, because you have always been by my side, you have been so good to me, and I absolutely cannot let you down. From now on, everything I have belongs to you."

Yang Tao's eyes were full of tenderness, which moved Zhou Chen deeply. He whispered in Yang Tao's ear: "I have nothing else to say. Now I will prove my love for you with practical actions."

Chapter 103 Ring (Update!)

early morning!

Zhou Chen felt something moving on his body, and suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Yang Tao stretching out her fingers and sliding them across his chest.

"You're teasing me so early in the morning. It seems that you have recovered well. Do you want to do some morning exercise?"

"NO, I have not."

Yang Tao quickly turned over and tried to run, but Zhou Chen had already grabbed her arm and turned over to pin her down.

"It's too late to run now."

"No……"

…………

"Hate it, bullying me so early in the morning."

Yang Tao slapped Zhou Chen twice coquettishly. Her whole body was numb and she had no strength left.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You teased me first, okay? I was just resisting passively, and it seems that I put in more effort, right?"
