It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Lezhi avoided Zhu Xi's questioning and replied, "No."

"Um?"

"No, really." Lezhi straightened up. "I was just saying it offhand."

A storm raged through Zhu Xi's mind. "It's good that it's not there."

"Hmm." Lezhi put the piece of brain she had removed back in. "But my flight was moved up."

Zhu Xi had already taken a step forward, and she couldn't help but pay attention to what Le Zhishi had said.

The two returned to the office together and saw Sheng Xiali peeking in from the doorway.

"Dean Zhu." Even in the height of summer, he still had that carefree attitude, waving his hat when he saw him from afar.

Lezhi raised his chin and said, "Who is this? He's quite handsome."

Zhu Xi scoffed, "Not as handsome as my brother!"

"That's true," Yuezhi said, swooning. "Nobody's as handsome as your brother."

Zhu Xi's words were like cold water splashed on her face: "He's richer than my brother."

Lezhi said, "Who cares about money?"

As he spoke, he stomped his foot at Zhu Xi again, preparing to launch a surprise attack on her.

Zhu Xi staggered, easily escaping, and said, "Get lost."

Lezhi ran off to tell Zhu He on his way.

She ran around the corner and hid in the fire escape, instantly collapsing in despair.

The Yu family's influence has already extended to the Lezhi family.

Just like what Zhu Xi knew when she first met Zhou Yinghuai.

Even among the most powerful families, there are barriers.

Even someone with Huo Xi's family background is still somewhat inferior to the Yu family.

These families, whose influence had been built up over a hundred years, survived even during the years of war, demonstrating their formidable power.

Zhu Xi addressed Yue Zhishi as Gao Yanei, which was actually an elevation of her status.

He Mianxin's description is more appropriate.

upstart.

Zhu Xi, carrying her laptop, walked up to Sheng Xiali and asked, "What brings you here?"

In the sweltering summer heat, he nonchalantly cracked jokes, "Come find my little Huaihuai."

"Unfortunately, he's not here."

"Dean Zhu," Sheng Xiali followed her into the office, "you're being a bit too strict with my little Huaihuai."

Zhu Xi gestured for him to sit wherever he pleased, while she lathered her hands with soap.

"Really?" she chuckled.

Instead of sitting down in the sweltering summer heat, he leaned against the table, his long legs stretched out at an angle, exuding confidence. "Recently, I've been asking Xiao Huaihuai to go to Qin Huaiyuan, but he hasn't gone, saying he doesn't have time."

Zhu Xi was wiping her hands when she caught a glimpse of the scheming and divisive sirens in the midsummer.

Although Zhou Yinghuai was not present, his presence was felt everywhere.

Her own mother brought it up and threatened her to divorce him.

In the height of summer, she accused her of not giving Zhou Yinghuai freedom.

She longed for Zhou Yinghuai, for him to suddenly appear and passionately kiss her.

But now...

Zhu Xi could only sullenly say, "Oh, then I'll criticize him when I get home tonight."

"That's right, a wife is important, but you also need to see your brothers often, right?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a chair for her in the sweltering summer heat, being a very gentlemanly man.

Zhu Xi sat down, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and laughed exaggeratedly, "Boss Sheng has misunderstood."

"Oh?"

"I'm here to criticize him, why hasn't he smashed Qin Huaiyuan yet?"

He stopped smiling in the sweltering summer heat and pulled up a chair next to her, ready to sit down.

Zhu Xi raised her hand to stop him, "Let Zhou Yinghuai sit here."

In the sweltering summer heat, she was half-bent over, her buttocks almost touching the chair, glancing left and right, "Is Ah Huai here?"

Zhu Xi: "Zhou Yinghuai will live on forever."

As he spoke, he casually wrote down Zhou Yinghuai's name and placed it on the chair.

She burst into laughter in the sweltering summer heat, placing Zhou Yinghuai's chair between them. "Sister-in-law, I have important business to attend to."

The word "sister-in-law" made Zhu Xi blush.

She paused, then sniffed softly, "Oh."

"I have something growing in my brain," Sheng Xiali said, pointing to a spot near her temple. "Roughly around here."

"You've been diagnosed? Which hospital did you go to?" Zhu Xi asked, becoming anxious as well. "Did you bring the X-ray films?"

Shaking his head in the sweltering summer heat, he patted the back of the empty chair. "Xiao Zhou diagnosed me."

"Zhou Yinghuai?" Zhu Xi expressed doubt, but when asked about his ability to make money, Zhu Xi had no doubt.

Zhu Xi didn't believe he could treat illnesses at all.

Even the most brilliant minds can't diagnose a brain tumor simply by flipping through a few pages of a professional book and marrying a neurosurgeon.

Zhu Xi got up and got a bottle of soda water for Sheng Xiali. It was slightly cool, and she unscrewed the cap for him. "No rush, take your time."

In the sweltering summer heat, he took a sip of water and sighed, "It's not Zhou Yinghuai's 'Little Zhou,' it's Fanzhou Technology's 'Little Boat.'"

"Dean Zhu, it's like trying to find a sword by marking the boat you've already marked."

It's that robot.

Zhu Xi understood.

She stared at the face in the sweltering summer heat, which was trying to suppress a smile, for a full half minute.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze in the sweltering summer heat, he awkwardly turned his head away. "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xi shook his head, clicked his tongue, and looked serious.

Have you been feeling sleepy, lacking energy, or forgetting what you've been thinking about just by yawning lately?

In the sweltering summer: "Yes."

"Have you ever had the urge to approach and chat up a beautiful woman you see?"

In the sweltering summer: "Is this also related to the illness?"

Zhu Xi nodded, smiling, and said, "Otherwise, why would you come to me to play Truth or Dare if you lost a game?"

"Hehe, you found out?" Sheng Xiali dropped the pretense. "Damn it, that bastard Lou Yanhui insisted on punishing me like this."

He chuckled, "Sister-in-law, Ah Huai has always told us not to bother you. Other than that, nobody dares to mess with me. But this time, Lou Yan set the rules, and one punch from him could kill me!"

Zhu Xi nodded slightly, not caring about her impetuousness in the sweltering summer heat.

"On another note, you really didn't keep Ah Huai in check?"

Zhu Xi casually pointed to the mountain of documents on the desk, along with a tightly packed schedule.

Is Zhou Yinghuai under control?

She thought, "I don't have time."

The adventure is over, and in the sweltering summer, it's time to pack up and leave. "Ah Huai has been incredibly busy lately. Fanzhou Technology's technology is being upgraded, and the Zhou family's overseas faction is stirring again."

He leaned on the table, clicked his tongue, and said, "Sister-in-law, my Ah Huai has come to propose to me. Don't turn him away."

Zhu Xi smiled; this was probably the real purpose of his visit in the height of summer.

She saw him to the door, saying, "Don't worry, if your Ah Huai comes to my door, I'll kick him right there and make you breastfeed him."

In the sweltering summer heat, he waved his hand, "No need to see me out. You're busy."

Zhu Xi stood at the office door and watched him walk a few steps.

As soon as she turned around, she heard Sheng Xiali turn back and call her name.

"Congratulations, Dean."

Zhu Xi turned around, her clear eyes revealing an unconcealed weariness.

He walked over in the sweltering summer heat, looking both cool and handsome. "If you need anything, you can talk to me, Z."

Zhu Xi: "I'm fine."

"Mrs. Yu came to see you, didn't she?" Sheng Xiali's playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Don't bother Ah Huai with something as trivial as a knife stab to the butt."

"I'll take care of it for you."

Zhu Xi was taken aback, but helping Le Zhishi's family was her duty.

"How do you plan to help?" she asked seriously. "How did you know all this?"

He whistled in the sweltering summer heat and casually tossed his hair back.

The cool act wasn't over yet.

"Why are you bothering my wife in the middle of summer?!"
