"Erzhu!"
"Ah, what are you doing?"
Just then, a woman's scream interrupted her. Wu Jing quickly let go, and a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes as she saw Li Mei and Wang Xiaomei.
But Li Mei and Wang Xiaomei's eyes were filled with anger. They had come to check on Erzhu's safety but had witnessed such a scene!
Erzhu had explicitly said he wasn't interested in relationships right now, yet here he was, secretly meeting with a woman!
Li Mei and Wang Xiaomei's anger intensified. They glared at Wu Jing fiercely, as if the two of them had actually done something.
Wu Jing felt their strange gazes, but she didn't want to explain. In fact, she thought the more people misunderstood, the better!
That way, she could be with Erzhu!
"Sister Mei, please don't misunderstand. Wu Jing is suffering from a蛊毒 (gu poison), that's why she's like this. She's just like a little sister to me."
Just as Li Mei was about to question him, she suddenly heard Erzhu's explanation. The two women finally breathed a sigh of relief. But Wu Jing, as if afflicted by the蛊毒 (gu poison) again, felt a chill from the inside out!
Little sister?
She didn't want to be Erzhu's little sister. She wanted to be his woman!
Wu Jing roared with anger in her heart, but she couldn't say any of it to Erzhu's face!
"Yes, I was just afflicted by the蛊毒 (gu poison). We didn't do anything."
Taking a deep breath, Wu Jing nodded expressionlessly. At this moment, she was like a soulless zombie.
"Erzhu, since you've prepared the antidote, let's go back. General Manager Zhou from Fengdu has arrived."
Li Mei and Wang Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if remembering something, they each took an arm of Erzhu and started pulling him outside.
Erzhu already had enough women around him. If another one were added, when would they ever have a chance with him?
The two women glared fiercely at Wu Jing, their eyes full of warning. Although Wu Jing was scared, she still followed.
Erzhu was single now, and everyone had the right to pursue their own happiness. She would not back down!
Erzhu naturally knew the three women were subtly competing, but he felt it was harmless and didn't intervene.
Before long, Erzhu and the others returned home. Li Mei took Wu Jing to her room to change clothes, while Wang Xiaomei went home because she had something to do.
As for Erzhu, he naturally went straight to the living room, where Zhou Mingcheng had been waiting for a long time.
"Boss, this is the profit statement for last month. I've already transferred the money to you. Please keep it."
Upon seeing Erzhu, Zhou Mingcheng quickly stood up and respectfully handed over last month's report to Erzhu, his eyes full of admiration.
Erzhu's name had already spread throughout Fengdu. Even when Erzhu was not present, many wealthy young ladies visited the Zhou family, begging him to introduce them to Erzhu. Some even offered substantial gifts!
Zhou Mingcheng was naturally tempted, but considering Erzhu's prominent status, he refused them all.
Today, everything he had was brought to him by Erzhu. He would have to be out of his mind to offend Erzhu!
"Mm, the profits are good. You don't need to show me these reports anymore. Just do what you think is best."
Erzhu glanced at the report and handed it back to Zhou Mingcheng. Zhou Mingcheng felt even more grateful.
Now, the combined profits of the three families were over a hundred million. Yet Erzhu trusted him so much. Even father and son wouldn't be this close!
"Thank you, Boss, for trusting me so much. Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely manage your industries well and will not fail your expectations!"
Zhou Mingcheng bowed respectfully to Erzhu, wiping away tears, his eyes reddening.
"I naturally trust you. By the way, do you have any news about Miss Zhou's second daughter?"
Erzhu waved his hand dismissively, suddenly thinking of the Zhou family's second daughter.
"No, Captain Li has even issued joint announcements to surrounding cities, but there's no news. My Jin'er, she probably won't return."
Mentioning his missing youngest daughter, Zhou Mingcheng's eyes reddened further. He shook his head gently, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Erzhu wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start. Just then, Li Mei and Wu Jing walked in.
"General Manager Zhou, this is..."
"Boss, this is my youngest daughter, Zhou Jin!"
Seeing Wu Jing, Erzhu was about to introduce her, but when Zhou Mingcheng looked up, he recognized his daughter with absolute certainty.
"General Manager Zhou, Wu Jing has a mother. I saw her with my own eyes!"
Li Mei didn't react for a moment. She thought Zhou Mingcheng was mistaking someone due to his longing for his daughter. While speaking, she pulled Wu Jing behind her.
"It can't be wrong. She looks exactly like my wife did when she was young, and my daughter also has a red birthmark on her neck!"
But Zhou Mingcheng pulled Wu Jing over. He stared intently at Wu Jing and pointed to the birthmark on her neck.
Li Mei was stunned. She wanted to say something but was speechless. How could such a coincidence happen in this world!
"Jin'er, are you my Jin'er?"
Seeing Li Mei no longer speaking, Zhou Mingcheng's eyes welled up with tears as he knelt down and asked again.
It had been twenty years. His daughter, whom he had longed for every day, was now in front of him!
"I don't know. I only know that my current mother is my adoptive mother, and she found me."
Wu Jing looked at the old man in front of her timidly. For an orphan who had always been searching for her parents, she did want to recognize him. But she also knew that such things couldn't be recognized carelessly.
However, she was just an infant when she was abandoned. It would be a miracle if she could remember anything.
"Alright, let's do a DNA test. We'll go now!"
Hearing Wu Jing's words, Zhou Mingcheng's eyes lit up with an idea. Wu Jing was about to go with him, but as she turned, she saw her adoptive mother standing at the doorway.
"What are you doing, you old man? My daughter has just come of age, how can you be such a beast!"
Wu Li had come to pick up her daughter, but she saw this scene!
She had thought Dr. Wang was reliable, but she hadn't expected him to be involved in human trafficking!
No wonder he earned so much money; it was all dirty money!
"Madam, you've misunderstood. I might be Wu Jing's biological father, and I want to take her for confirmation!"
Seeing the woman angrily approaching him, Zhou Mingcheng's eyes flickered, and he instantly guessed something.
At his age, where would he have the inclination for such things? Moreover, even if he did, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on someone close to the Boss!
"There's no need. Her biological father is long dead, and I am her biological mother. You have nothing to do with her!"
Hearing Zhou Mingcheng's explanation, Wu Li became even angrier, but Erzhu saw a hint of panic in her eyes!
