C24 Gift Is True!

Mrs. Xie was beyond ecstatic. In her entire life, let alone wearing such an accessory, she had never seen such an expensive luxury product.

On the other hand, Chen Junsheng was infuriated. As if he lost a crucial battle, he, instead of raising his head high like he always did, lowered his head dejectedly, not daring to look at Zhouyang in the face.

Zhouyang sneered in his heart. Everything that took place up to this day was all because of his identity.

To Xie Family, the person in charge of their company's project and the shareholder of said company were positions that shone even brighter than the position of the CEO of a company, such as Xie Lingyu's position in her Pleasant Makeup Company.

"Lingyu, Zhouyang seems to have given you a present as well. Bring it over here. I want to see what it is!"

"Right, right. Hurry up and open it!"

Xie Lingyu looked helplessly at Zhouyang and took out the gift box as she opened it.

Silence!

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent.

Even Chen Junsheng looked at the gift in front of him in disbelief.

"This is the 'Thousand Violet Heart,' a treasure of the Jade Pavilion."

Chen Junsheng, having seen the accessory before, recognized the gift almost immediately after seeing it.

"Thousand Purple Heart? How much is it?"

Mrs. Xie blinked continuously as she looked at Chen Junsheng with an excited expression on her face.

Since even Chen Junsheng was surprised, it must mean that the amethyst necklace must be very valuable.

"Five million six hundred thousand yuan."

Chen Junsheng inhaled a breath of cold air as his mind buzzed. Zhouyang was just a piece of trash who had a bad luck. How could he possibly spend five million and six hundred thousand to buy a thousand hearts?

Even after Xie Lingyu founded her Pleasant Makeup Company, the sum of five million and six hundred thousand yuan was not an amount that could be easily earned...

Let alone using that amount of money to purchase a gift.

The gazes of the other relatives were all fixed on Xie Lingyu's face, full of envy.

Compared to Thousand-Violet Heart, the jade bracelet given by Chen Junsheng was completely incomparable. It was like trying to compare and contrast the difference between heaven and earth.

They were jealous that it was not their own daughter who had been given gifted such a luxurious item.

For that moment, they forgot that the person who bought such expensive gifts were the same person who they had been ruthlessly mocking for the past three years.

Chen Junsheng looked at Zhouyang with resentment, and forced out a smile, and asked: "I'm a little curious. For these past few years that you have been at Xie Family, you have always been working as a small employee in the sales department of the Fame Company. In that case, how did you suddenly become a shareholder in Fame Company?"

"Last time, I saw that you have a close relationship with the president of Fame company, Shen Bijun. It also happens that Director Shen is a single woman. Brother Zhou's luck with women must certainly not be shallow to be able to gain the favor of Director Shen.

Although the meaning behind Chen Junsheng's words was subtle, those present certainly were not idiots. They immediately understood the meaning behind Chen Junsheng's words with just those few sentences.

His words basically hinted that Zhouyang only became a shareholder of Fame Company because he was cooped up with Shen Bijun and became her gigolo.

In other words, whether it was Zhouyang's identity as a project manager or a shareholder in Fame company, everything he earned was given to him by Shen Bijun as a form of 'compensation.'

Instantly, the expression on Mrs. Xie's face changed, and she fumed with rage once again.

"Zhouyang! You piece of trash! I thought you had advanced, but I didn't expect you to be someone else's gigolo! You have completely lost face for our Xie Family!"

Mrs. Xie's face turned extremely ugly as she stared at Zhouyang with her large, round eyes.

Initially, she thought that this trash had finally grown up. She did not expect that he had actually become a gigolo. He reckoned that most of the gifts he sent were bought using the money that he had received from Shen Bijun.

The other relatives were also looking at him with disdain, and there were even two women who spat at Zhouyang.

Zhouyang's pupils immediately constricted as he glanced menacingly at Chen Junsheng.

He did not expect Chen Junsheng to be so creative at coming up with these ideas.

Initially, Chen Junsheng purposely mentioned Zhouyang's identity as a trap for him to fall into later on.

If Zhouyang was really like what he said, being taken care of by Shen Bijun, then this trap would certainly tarnish Zhouyang's reputation completely.

But that was not that case for Zhouyang.

"Chen Junsheng, where are you trying to go with these slanders? Have you not learned anything from the lesson I taught you previously?"

Zhouyang squinted his eyes in disgust and said with an indifferent tone.

Previously, when Chen Junsheng was too arrogant, Zhouyang had already unilaterally banned his Jun Fa company from ever cooperating with Fame Company in front of all the other companies' representatives.

But now, not only did he not learn his lesson, he wanted to put even more pressure on Zhouyang.

"What he's trying to mean...? Zhouyang, don't tell me you don't dare to admit to doing it? Otherwise, how could you become a shareholder in Fame Company? How could Fame company let you be in charge of the project then?"

Chen Junsheng was pleased to see Zhouyang's face change. Immediately, he turned to Xie Lingyu and said, "Why don't you ask Lingyu if she believes you or not?"

Chen Junsheng pointed at Xie Lingyu with a satisfied expression.

Zhouyang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He did not expect Chen Junsheng to involve Xie Lingyu directly.

Indeed, if it was just the two of them arguing, then he had nothing to be afraid of.

But now, once Xie Lingyu was involved, even if Zhouyang wasn't a gigolo, there were still some topics that were difficult for him to explain at this moment.

"Zhouyang, I've been thinking about it all night, but I still haven't been able to come up with a conclusion. I want to hear it directly from you."

Xie Lingyu raised her head to look at Zhouyang. Her face was pale and a layer of dark circles covered her beautiful eyes.

With just a glance, Zhouyang knew that Xie Lingyu definitely had trouble sleeping well last night.

However, Zhouyang didn't know how to answer her question at this time.

He could not possibly tell her that he became a shareholder in Fame Company because he now owned the patent for the whitening and anti-aging factor, and held sixty percent of the project's shares as a result.

After all, how could a poor son-in-law have anything to do with Stanford Labs patents?

Who would believe him even if he spoke of the truth?

"If you believe me, you won't question me any further."

Zhouyang looked at Xie Lingyu with a serious expression and spoke calmly.

He had thought it through thoroughly. He loved Xie Lingyu with all his heart, but there were always all kinds of obstacles in the way of reality.

If Zhouyang's position and identity were an obstacle before, Xie Lingyu's trust in him was an obstacle this time.

"Hehe, Brother Zhouyang, what do you mean by that? If you didn't have a relationship with Shen Bijun, you probably would still be the same good-for-nothing as you had been before."

Chen Junsheng saw that Xie Lingyu seemed to still have feelings for Zhouyang, so he quickly added on.

Mrs. Xie and the group of Xie Family members also began chiming into the discussion.

They looked down on Zhouyang from the bottom of their hearts.

Furthermore, in such a short period of time, Zhouyang had gone from being a shareholder of a Fame company that they admired to becoming a disgusting gigolo.

"Hmph! Lingyu, this trash is not a good person at all. Now that he has become someone else's gigolo, you have enough reason to divorce him!"

Mrs. Xie hooted and immediately laid out a divorce agreement.

Zhouyang recognized the divorce agreement.

Previously, when he brought his mother to Xie Family, Mrs. Xie had already brought out such a divorce agreement.

However, Zhouyang did not expect that the divorce agreement he decided to no sign that night to appear before him at this very moment.

"Zhouyang, are you not even willing to give me an explanation?"

Xie Lingyu's face became slightly bitter as her eyes dimmed.

An entire night of thinking was simply too torturous for her.

Even after the whole night, she has still been trying to come up with a plausible explanation.

"I'll say it again, I have no relationship with Director Shen. As for this divorce agreement, I think we should calm down and think about it."

Zhouyang took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking softly.

"The reason why I came here today is to celebrate Mother's birthday. Since you guys do not want to welcome me, I will no longer be a hindrance to your eyes."

Zhouyang said coldly and prepared to leave.

"Hmph! Who's your mother? I have nothing to do with you!"

Mrs. Xie sneered and turned her head away, not looking at Zhouyang.

Zhouyang looked at Xie Lingyu with a complicated expression. Xie Lingyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but hesitated instead.

"Take care of yourself. I'll be taking my leave now."

With that, Zhouyang uttered a few words coldly to Chen Junsheng and let out a disdainful laugh before turning around and leaving the Xie Family house.

After leaving the Xie Family house, he did not return to the nursing home, otherwise Mrs. Zhou would definitely bombard him with questions.

Instead, Zhouyang subconsciously walked back to Fame company.

"It seems like I have no choice but to stay here."

Zhouyang smiled bitterly and walked straight into the company.

"Manager Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhouyang looked towards the source of the voice and saw Ye Chuqian standing a few meters away. She looked at him with a surprised expression as if she had noticed something amiss.

"What is it? Can't the manager come to the company anytime he wants to?"

When Zhouyang saw Ye Chuqian, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed and let out a joke.

"Of course you can, it's just that Director Shen is also inside right now."

Ye Chuqian pointed at Zhouyang's office as she spoke.

Shen Bijun is here too?

This piece of information surprised Zhouyang.

"What is Director Shen doing here?"

Zhouyang asked in confusion as he walked towards his office at a leisurely pace.

Gently opening the door of the office, Zhouyang saw Shen Bijun sitting in front of his desk, attentively looking at the documents.

Her long hair was tied behind her head, and her pretty face shone brightly and exquisitely under the sunlight shining from outside the window.

Such a calm and elegant appearance made Zhouyang absent-minded.

Even when Shen Bijun and Xie Lingyu were the two great beauties of the Bowery, Zhouyang never really cared about their appearance.

Now that he saw Shen Bijun from his current position, his heart could not help but skip a beat.
