Chapter 1262: Zhu Qingrui's Nemesis 3

As for the pulley, I don't know where it went.

The face that had been painted deathly pale was now washed clean.

Wang Yingzhi looked at everyone with a blank expression and said to Zhu Qingrui, "Office Director, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Zhu Qingrui:...

Fine, playing dumb, are we?

Then he would find the evidence to leave them all speechless.

He didn't even care that it was the women's restroom; he went straight in.

Liu Min exclaimed, "My god! A Heng, what kind of person did you hire as Office Director? This person is too perverted, barging into the women's restroom in broad daylight, and he looked so familiar with it, he must go there often..."

"Hahahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Yingzhi would not let such an opportunity pass; she followed Liu Min's lead to mock him: "Exactly, I'm already this old and he still won't leave me alone, he really has heavy tastes, tsk tsk!"

Zhu Qingrui didn't hear any of these words.

He was focused on finding the "equipment" Wang Yingzhi had been wearing earlier.

The restroom wasn't very big, so he finished looking quickly; it wasn't there.

Is it haunted?

So he searched even more carefully, checking every single place, including taking down the ceiling exhaust vent to look, but there was still nothing.

Where did she hide the things?

It wasn't until he saw the restroom window slightly ajar that he finally understood.

She had used the window to send out the original set of clothes and bring in a new set.

No wonder she wasn't afraid of him bringing people over; she had already made preparations!

In the end, Zhu Qingrui was, unsurprisingly, mocked mercilessly by everyone.

Although Qi Heng didn't say anything, his expression wasn't very good.

Qi Heng thought that Zhu Qingrui probably wasn't as smart as he made himself out to be; he was unstable and too impatient.

Through this incident, Zhu Qingrui's status in the Presidential Palace dropped further; in just one short day, he went from a hotshot in the Presidential Palace to everyone's laughingstock.

It was incredibly stifling, so he decided to stay further away from Wang Yingzhi.

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least hide? Can't you just keep your distance?

Facts proved—you can't!

There is a kind of entanglement called being unable to afford to offend and unable to hide.

He took a step, she followed a step; he couldn't shake her off at all.

"What do you mean?"

"Did I offend you? Why must you pester me and not let go?"

"Are you still not over what happened yesterday? Is that why you find me an eyesore?" Wang Yingzhi followed behind Zhu Qingrui, chattering incessantly.

He wasn't prepared to argue with her either, because she was unreasonable; trying to reason with her was just asking for trouble for himself.

But ignoring her didn't work either; she kept muttering behind him, which could drive someone crazy at any moment!

Zhu Qingrui was walking very fast in front, but suddenly stopped and turned around.

Wang Yingzhi was caught off guard and bumped right into him.

"Ouch!" she shrieked, and in an instant, she raised her palm and "slapped" Zhu Qingrui across the face.

"Pervert! You've gone too far, taking advantage of me in broad daylight in front of everyone!"

"Bullshit!"

Zhu Qingrui was so angry his face turned red, and he even cursed out loud.

He had never seen such a shameless person.

Doesn't she have any idea how old she is?

She was the one who bumped into him, yet she had the nerve to say he took advantage of her?

At her age, what advantage was there to take?

He had underestimated the thickness of Wang Yingzhi's skin.

Wang Yingzhi cried miserably, saying as she wept, "Oh my, I can't go on living, it's too shameful, my late-life integrity is ruined, you heartless wretch..."

"I thought he was jealous of me, but it turns out he has his eyes on me!"

Zhu Qingrui felt his temples throbbing violently; it was too much to take.

He couldn't endure it anymore; if he kept enduring it, he would become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Zhu Qingrui revealed a murderous look, turning his palm into a claw, preparing to strangle her.

Even if he was in front of everyone, what would it matter if he strangled her?

At worst, Qi Heng would just be unhappy and scold him a few times; he still couldn't do without him, so he wouldn't do anything to him.

Once he figured that out, he suddenly felt enlightened.

Just as Zhu Qingrui reached out his hand, the eight bodyguards beside Wang Yingzhi suddenly appeared.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Master, you didn't let your disciples follow you; this person has wronged you, hasn't he?"

The eight of them, without a word, beat Zhu Qingrui up!

They nearly beat him to a pulp.

Jiangzhou.

The Sheng Family.

Shi Youxuan laughed until she was rocking back and forth; it was too hilarious, and satisfying to boot.

There were informants in the Presidential Palace; unless something was top secret and impossible to see or hear about, everything that happened there would reach Shi Youxuan's ears.

Compared to other matters at the Presidential Palace, the story between Wang Yingzhi and Zhu Qingrui was even more entertaining.

She listened to it with great relish, then passed it on to others.

Everyone felt it was very satisfying; having Wang Yingzhi deal with Zhu Qingrui was simply too wise, a choice that was one hundred percent correct.

Sheng Hanyu and his daughter, both recognized by everyone as having "iceberg faces," were now laughing so hard their eyes were squinting shut.

It was simply too funny.

After laughing, everyone sighed with emotion that there were no absolute good people in this world, nor absolute bad people.

Everyone had their merits, and even the worst person had their uses.

Just like Wang Yingzhi.

When she was at the Sheng Family, she basically never did a single good deed!

But using her to deal with Zhu Qingrui was just too satisfying.

She still used the same old tricks; it all depended on who they were used against.

Using low-down, dirty tricks against good people made one's teeth itch with hatred.

But using the same tricks against bad people was a good deed that accumulated merit and blessings.

……

Shi Ran and Yun Qitian returned home to find that their mother-in-law had arrived.

"Mom, why didn't you call us beforehand to let us know? We could have come back earlier," Shi Ran said apologetically.

"It's fine, I'm not in a rush; waiting for you two is just fine."

Ma Ling'er announced with a smile: "I'm here to stay for a while this time, living here with you both. Are you welcoming?"

Shi Ran did not speak.

Yun Qitian objected: "Mom, you're just being unreasonable. You have a perfectly good Villa to live in, why stay at our place? You're interrupting our life as a couple."

In truth, these were all excuses; the real reason was that the two of them were sleeping in separate rooms.

With his mother here, they would have to live together to avoid being found out, and Shi Ran was not yet prepared; he feared she would be embarrassed if they lived together now.

Ma Ling'er wore a very hurt expression and said to her daughter-in-law: "Ranran, he doesn't welcome me."

Shi Ran said: "Mom, I welcome you."

"Qi Tian is just joking with you; how could he not welcome you? We both welcome you to stay at our home with open arms, but is it okay for Dad to be home alone?"

Ma Ling'er smiled brightly: "He's away on a business trip and won't be back for half a month. I'm just a poor empty-nester at home alone; you wouldn't have the heart to turn me away, would you?"

She deliberately made herself sound very pitiful, but in reality, how could she be that pitiful?

There were a whole bunch of servants at home, and even if her husband was away on business, she could hardly be considered an empty-nester.

But regardless of whether it was true or not, with an elder speaking so pitifully, neither of them had any reason to refuse.

And so, the matter was settled: the mother-in-law would stay at their home.
