Chapter 2197: Chapter 2197: Verbal Truth (18)

"What did you say?"

Master Zhuo raised his voice, shaking everyone to their core.

What happened here?

Xiao Dian received the call, initially puzzled, then shocked, and finally delighted.

Everyone could clearly see the change in his emotions.

Looking at Master Zhuo who seemed ready to kill, everyone felt these two calls were crucial.

At this moment, Chuzheng’s phone rang too.

The young girl took out her phone, answered the call, and after a few seconds, just casually said, "Got it."

After hanging up, she looked up at Xiao Dian and Master Zhuo.

"You’ve all received the news? Then I won’t repeat it. Any other questions?" As a kind person, I’m very willing to answer... your questions.

Everyone: "..." We don’t know anything yet!

The phone in Master Zhuo’s hand was almost deformed from his grip, the veins on the back of his hand were popping out.

Just now, his people said that someone on the Xiao Family side suddenly started negotiating to take over the Xiao Family’s mess.

Master Zhuo didn’t want to believe this had anything to do with Chuzheng.

However, given such a coincidence...

He had no choice but to believe.

It really was her doing.

How did she do it?

The Fei Family...

No, how could people from the Fei Family do that for a foster daughter?

Then who has such power!

Master Zhuo squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Who exactly are you?"

Chuzheng with a serious expression: "A good person."

Master Zhuo: "???"

Master Zhuo stared at Chuzheng like looking at a monster for several seconds.

What on earth?

Good what person?

Does this woman have a mental problem?

-

The atmosphere between Chuzheng and Master Zhuo was strange. Some people in the crowd had already found out the news through their networks.

Upon hearing the Xiao Family’s situation, many people were quite shocked.

Someone really would help the Xiao Family...

Moreover, it’s definitely related to this girl.

Those people who had been rude earlier now felt their cheeks burning, as if they had been slapped twice.

The chatter became even more grating.

"Isn’t she the Fei family’s foster daughter? I heard her foster father’s family only has a bit of money, and after divorce, most of the assets went to her foster mother. How can she do this?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? I want to know too."

"Is there someone backing her..."

Chuzheng ignored those talking, turning her head to look at Xiao Dian.

Xiao Dian had just calmed down. Meeting Chuzheng’s gaze, he immediately said, "Miss Mo..."

As he was about to speak, his peripheral vision caught Master Zhuo’s somber expression, making him swallow his words.

"Go back." Chuzheng casually said, "You don’t need to thank me, I have my reasons."

Xiao Dian wanted to ask what those reasons were.

But for some reason, under Chuzheng’s calm and indifferent gaze, he couldn’t ask a single word.

Xiao Dian glanced at Master Zhuo, finally bowing to Chuzheng before leaving through the main door.

What more could Master Zhuo say at this point? Keep slapping himself in the face?

"Mo Chuzheng, I’ll remember this. Let’s see how it goes." He wanted to see whether the person behind her was stronger, or the Zhuo Family, backed by the Cui Family.

Master Zhuo threw down a harsh line and followed Xiao Dian out.

Once Master Zhuo left, the remaining people exchanged glances, feeling awkward and uneasy.

Liu Jinli pulled Chuzheng aside, allowing the stagnant air to circulate again.

"Why are you opposing the Zhuo Family?"

"..." You might not believe it if I tell you, even I don’t know. "Seeing injustice, I draw my blade to help!" Yeah! That’s definitely the reason!

"...Is your blade inlaid with gold!" Liu Jinli groaned.

Chuzheng seriously considered, "...Probably with diamonds."

Liu Jinli: "..."

Liu Jinli didn’t want to talk to the gossiping little brother anymore.

Totally couldn’t understand what this little brother was thinking.

"But...can you really help the Xiao Family?" The Xiao Family is nearly ruined now, only a large capital injection can save it.

"Of course."

"..." You’re so confident.

Liu Jinli suddenly recalled the time at the hotel.

Seeing her cousin dressed like that, standing in the hallway.

That person’s identity and status must not be low.

Is that the person behind her?

The voice seemed familiar... somewhere...

Liu Jinli felt her cousin’s personality is not one to be respectful to just anyone...

A name flashed in her mind.

Fei Jiang!

No... Could it be?

Liu Jinli couldn’t help but glance at Chuzheng, wondering if she had a connection with that Fei Family lunatic?

If it’s him, then the Xiao Family’s problem would be too easy...

But just thinking of Fei Jiang, Liu Jinli couldn’t help but feel her hair stand on end.

She never understood why her scummy cousin hangs out with Fei Jiang.

-

After this incident, anyone with good relations with Master Zhuo made excuses to leave.

But even though those left, there were still quite a few remaining.

Cui Xianyu was among them.

During the earlier drama, this Cui Family heir made no remarks.

Master Zhuo also didn’t complain to Cui Xianyu...

Chuzheng noticed Cui Xianyu watching and directly met his gaze without being servile or overbearing.

Cui Xianyu stood up, holding two glasses of champagne, and offered one to her: "Miss Mo, can we get acquainted?"

Being approached by the Cui Family’s heir is something many would dream of.

But the person concerned was quite indifferent: "No."

"..."

Cui Xianyu rarely faced such awkwardness; even if not fond, maintaining appearances was necessary, right?

This little girl didn’t give an inch.

Cui Xianyu, used to weathering storms, wasn’t embarrassed, and casually placed the champagne glass on a nearby table.

The champagne looked beautiful, its light refracted through the glass into tiny beams, embedded into Cui Xianyu’s eyes, making them seem dazzling.

Cui Xianyu lived up to his name.

He had a jade-like quality, yet, no matter how polished, it was still a type of stone.

He and Fei Jiang were of the same breed at heart.

"Miss Mo is quite interesting." Cui Xianyu’s smile was exceptionally charming, drawing out his words.

"You’re interesting too."

"Oh?" Cui Xianyu seemed interested, "How am I interesting?"

"You wouldn’t want to know."

"If Miss Mo doesn’t say, how do I know I wouldn’t want to know?"

"..." I’m afraid if you knew, you’d kill me to silence me, then get messed up by me.

"It’s for your own good." Chuzheng earnestly warned, "Mr. Cui would best not be too curious."

"..."

Chuzheng turned and walked to another side; even if Cui Xianyu wanted to ask, he had to consider his identity and could only watch her walk away.

After a long while, Cui Xianyu rubbed his chin with his index finger, chuckling softly: "Interesting..."

-

The race wasn’t at this location, so everyone headed to the racetrack.

Chuzheng rode in Liu Jinli’s car.

"Where’s your cousin?" Chuzheng scanned once when getting into the car, not seeing Chu Zhaoying.

"Don’t know." Liu Jinli was already seated, expertly maneuvering the car, excitedly saying, "Hop in, seasoned driver will take you flying!"

Suddenly, Chuzheng felt the door handle getting hot.

Her task was complete; should she just... retreat for now?
