Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife
Chapter 1289: Direct Confrontation (1)
While Zhong Qiaohui was talking to others, Xiao Shuju quietly slipped out and found the adjacent room.
Inside the room next door, she saw a person sitting with their back to her in a wheelchair. Xiao Shuju walked over and called out, "Is it the third young master?"
Because they’d met before at Xiao Yebai’s place, Zhang Sanfeng wasn’t surprised when he turned and saw Xiao Shuju.
"Hello, Third Miss," Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
Xiao Shuju stood in front of him and said, "I didn’t expect you to be with Miss Zhong."
Why didn’t the third young master of the Xiao family expect it? Zhang Sanfeng was taken aback.
Seeing his puzzled look, Xiao Shuju smirked, "Yes, because the third young master doesn’t seem like someone who would shamelessly cling to others."
Zhang Sanfeng felt awkward at her words: Did he used to give people that impression? Does he still give that impression now?
"I want to ask you something," Xiao Shuju said in a low voice. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Go ahead and ask."
"Is following Miss Zhong my sister-in-law’s idea?"
"No."
"My brother’s idea?"
"No."
"Neither? Then whose idea is it?" Xiao Shuju looked at him in astonishment, "Your idea?"
Zhang Sanfeng slowly nodded, "My idea."
"What are you doing with her? Are you worried she’s against my sister-in-law?"
"No," Zhang Sanfeng had already been convinced by Xiao Yebai, so there was no point in worrying about that.
Xiao Shuju still couldn’t understand it.
Zhang Sanfeng asked her, "What are you doing with her?"
The third young master of the Xiao family being here was somewhat peculiar.
"I—" Xiao Shuju paused, "I came to repay money."
"How much did she lend you?"
"A few million." When mentioning this amount, Xiao Shuju noticed the way he looked at her and smiled, "I know I’m poor now. Unlike before, when I could spend freely."
Zhang Sanfeng didn’t think so because the clothes and shoes she wore now didn’t seem particularly frugal. Xiao Shuju had her own view on it: "If you don’t dress nicely, people will see you as impoverished and won’t do business with you. The business I do is with the wealthy, quite different from the technical business my sister-in-law does."
In other words, Xiao Shuju was tricking money out of the pockets of the rich.
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment and gave a few hums of agreement.
Xiao Shuju noticed he seemed different from before and said, "You’ve changed dramatically, and so has Miss Zhong."
Fate’s twists and turns. Who would have thought things would turn out like this today?
"Her husband is like this now, is he dead?"
Zhang Sanfeng lifted his head and looked at Xiao Shuju’s face. Could even someone like Xiao Shuju sense that Zhang Yingxi’s situation was suspicious?
Xiao Shuju noticed his gaze and sighed, "I’m serious. A lot has happened in our family, and a lot has happened to the Zhao family too. I always feel that anything related to our family and Zhou Jin, strange things always happen."
Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t deny what she said. However, there was certainly more to it than met the eye. At that time, several of them were captured. Saying things would happen to Xiao Yebai’s family because of Xiao Yebai’s words; he, too, had been kidnapped, and the Zhang family would eventually encounter trouble, sooner or later.
"Does Miss Zhong know something?"
Zhang Sanfeng raised an eyebrow, again expressing doubt about her words.
Xiao Shuju revealed her dealings with Zhong Qiaohui, saying, "I told her I was doing business to find someone. That’s why she lent me the money."
