The enchanting duke's only wife

Chapter 113 Old pain and new injury (4)
"You say you have no power, which means you can actually do it, right?" Zhong Xiu walked up to Xi Zimo angrily and stared at him, her big eyes with heavy makeup were full of anger.

Xi Zimo nodded without denying it: "Yes, I can. However, I won't make an exception for you, because it won't do me any good."

Zhong Xiu suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said a little bewitchingly: "You think, I was personally invited by the Duke, and now I have been invited like J. Isn't it just around the corner to surpass that woman's status in the future? Wait for the Duke to completely If you accept me, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you, how about it?"

"Really? So confident?" Although Xi Zimo was already feeling chills at the brazenness of the woman in front of him, he could only keep calm and try to find a way to get her out... You can't be tough with a madman, or you will be bitten back a mouthful.

"Of course, I am also the eldest lady of the Zhong family! After all, she is just an outsider! I don't believe that Dad will really give her all the property!"

"Since you think so, why did you say that I was your sister just now?" The cold body suddenly sounded, Zhong Xiu turned around in surprise, saw Ye Jue looking at him with a playful smile, suddenly felt a tingle on his back. Chill.

Ye Jue in front of him, like Xi Zimo, was not wearing formal and elegant work clothes on weekdays, but a simple pair of jeans and a shirt. His long black hair was tied up high, and because it was straightened, he looked younger.On the face without makeup, Zhong Xiu's heavy makeup did not have good skin, which could be broken with a single blow.Ye Jue, who was much shorter than Zhong Xiu because he didn't wear high heels, didn't lose his momentum, but a sharp look in his eyes made Zhong Xiu feel threatened.

In the same seven years, Zhong Xiu, who was the eldest lady in the Zhong family, was naturally not as sophisticated as Ye Jue, who was struggling alone.Her enemies are just people in the Mengcheng circle who can't see Li Juan's mother and daughter, while Ye Jue has to face more realistic pressure.

"You eavesdropped on us!" Zhong Xiu subconsciously retaliated, "Why are you so devoid of public morality?"

"I think everyone here can hear Miss Zhong with such a loud voice." Ye Jue sneered.

"That's not as confident as you are in eavesdropping!" Zhong Xiu said, "Or, you always knew she was there!" She turned her head and looked at Xi Zimo angrily, seeing the smile at the corner of his mouth, she knew it too reason.

This man, I don't know how long ago he found Ye Jue behind her!

"Don't hate me so much." Xi Zimo spread his hands, "I don't dare to offend the future proprietress."

"Why, your Chinese has improved after a while?" Ye Jue took the gloves he handed over and put them on, then suddenly began to speak in English.

"Where, didn't I take care of the environment here? Anyway, I'm in China, so let's use Chinese as the language of communication." Xi Zimo replied in English with a smile.

The conversation between the two of them completely ignored Zhong Xiu who was still angry at the side.

Although the eldest lady of the Zhong family has been influenced by many rich ladies in the past seven years, she knows some English.But after all, it was not the foundation from childhood, and I also suffered a lot in memory when I started learning, so my English level is very average.

Coupled with the fact that the two people in front of her spoke with a strong British accent and spoke so fast, she could hardly understand anything, and she was stuck in place for a while.

"Hey, she's stupid." Ye Jue said amusedly.

"It's not because of you." Xi Zimo said disapprovingly.

"It wouldn't be like this if you weren't there to help the flames. Well, you are responsible for sending her away, and I have to go and see the decoration." Ye Jue patted Xi Zimo on the shoulder, and then went to chat with the craftsmen .

Xi Zimo looked at his clothes, which had instantly turned white due to the ashes on Ye Jue's hands, and turned helplessly to face Zhong Xiu who seemed to have regained consciousness.

"What is she doing here!" the aggressive Zhong Xiu asked.

"She is the chief designer of the decoration, so she came naturally." Xi Zimo explained with rare kindness.

"So?" Zhong Xiu straightened her clothes and said proudly, "Have you considered it?"

"what?"

"Contact the Duke."

"Oh, that, I don't think the Duke is free right now. I can contact him later, you go back and wait for the notification."

"How did I know that you would definitely tell the Duke that I am coming! You and that woman are clearly in the same group!"

The Duke is with her...

Xi Zimo couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"I am a man of the Duke, so naturally I am towards him. If you can one day be appreciated by the Duke like J, I will naturally respect you. So, before that day, please work hard." Mat Mo said with a smile.

"Hmph! You're smart!" Zhong Xiu finally figured it out this time, and chose to leave honestly.

At the end, I still did not forget to say to Ye Jue who was talking to the craftsman: "Ye Jue, wait, the Zhong family's inheritance will not be yours, not even your Lord Duke! Back then, my mother could squeeze your mother away!" Let's go, I can too!"

Ye Jue froze, but didn't look back.It's not that she's not angry, and it's not that she doesn't want to quarrel with Zhong Xiu, it's just...she can't refute.It is a fact that Li Juan forced Ye Aiqi away.

Seeing Zhong Xiu leaving triumphantly, Xi Zimo shook his head and sighed helplessly before returning to work as his supervisor again.Even if he heard what he said just now, he wouldn't ask Ye Jue anything.No intention to spy, and no position to care.

Ye Jue was still instructing the craftsmen on the progress and color of the paint, looking serious as if nothing happened just now.It was the first time for Xi Zimo to see Ye Jue without makeup at all, and he felt strangely young, as if he was just a fledgling child who had just graduated from university.It's just the way she conducts herself and the way she judges decisively that betrays her experience.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ye Jue suddenly turned around and met Xi Zimo's eyes.

"It's nothing. I just want to sigh, you are a really tough woman." Xi Zimo didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being bumped into, and looked away indifferently, "Why does the Duke want you?"
