After all, Yisheng and I are spokespeople for the Feng Group, it isn’t too much for you, the boss, to treat your two employees to a meal, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to verbal sparring, few could beat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Jiang Yisheng suppressed a laugh, quietly watching without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought so, trying to trick Ji Mingqian was really difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yi laughed in exasperation, \"Are you two in cahoots, both pretending to be poor in front of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endorsement money from the company has all gone to the dogs, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are indeed poor, right, Asheng?\" Ji Mingqian laughed, dragging Jiang Yisheng down with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to evade, Jiang Yisheng nodded in agreement, \"Yeah, we’re poor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two against one, Feng Yi joked with a laugh, \"Fine, we can cut ties after this meal is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meal passed in laughter and conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of it, Feng Yi received a call from home; his parents had returned suddenly from their trip and wanted him to pick them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go ahead and pick up your parents, I’ll have my family’s driver come pick me up later,\" Jiang Yisheng took a sip of juice and said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yi nodded, standing up to put on his coat, \"I’m off to fetch the Empress Mother, goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his mother returning, it seemed wise for him to stay away from home for a while to avoid being nagged about marriage again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t forget to pay before you leave,\" Ji Mingqian delivered a parting shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Feng Yi’s lips froze as he gave him a sideways glance, \"This young master won’t pay, you two can stay behind and wash dishes to pay for the meal after eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng looked at Feng Yi’s retreating figure, his eyes softening with affectionate laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Feng Yi left, Ji Mingqian tilted his head, propped it up with one hand, and looked at the person still eating steak, his lips curled in a roguish smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Yisheng, you eat so much, how come you’re still so short?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng’s face darkened, and his steak-cutting motions stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy’s mouth was so vile, his remarks so venomous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just five centimeters taller than him, what’s there to flaunt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Ji Mingqian became even more insolent, a mischievous smile on his face, \"Are you really one seventy-nine?

Just as they reached the entrance, they heard people shouting their names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingqian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Yisheng, Yisheng is there too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild screams came from behind, and Ji Mingqian, with one long stride, comfortably mounted the motorcycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrieking from behind was almost deafening, and Jiang Yisheng, not daring to delay, hurriedly sat on the motorcycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on tight, don’t fall off,\" a deep voice emanated from up front, and Jiang Yisheng’s eyes flickered as he reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the crowd of fans surged over, the motorcycle suddenly sped away, kicking up a cloud of dust for the fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingqian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yisheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fans’ plaintive voices whirled and twisted, filled with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their idol had slipped away right before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dusk withered, night stealthily took its place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright moon peeked through the clouds, the dim starlight slowly emerged and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy atmosphere filled the spacious room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sunset faded and the bright moon rose, Ye Jiuliang’s heart fell into an abyss with the passing of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the man still unconscious on the bed, Ye Jiuliang felt drained with worry; if not for the hand gripping hers, she feared she would have neared collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo, it’s already evening, do you still not wish to awaken?\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-05-30T05:19:10.665Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee7589ea80b8a5a76a1f60212ad0e4a8c310afa9fb07c62e8fab75045c0ffe40","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-555","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-553",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
