Chapter 190 Actually, I'm the Big Boss
Chapter 190 Actually, I'm the Big Boss
"Zhu Yahan... Ha, she's just an abandoned baby. I've raised her for so many years, I've already done more than enough."
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Shigou's eyes as he muttered to himself, "And Zhu Ziqing, she's not my biological daughter either. I, Zhu Shigou, am destined to be childless in this life. But so what? Money, power, fame and fortune are what I truly pursue."
His fists clenched tightly, and a fierce fire of ambition burned in his eyes.
"The Zhu family's reputation must not be ruined in my hands. I must salvage everything and bring the Zhu family back to its former glory!"
A moment later, Zhu Shigou's thoughts returned to reality.
He glanced at Zhu Yahan, who was still unconscious on the ground, and frowned slightly.
"The downfall of the Wan family is a foregone conclusion. I cannot let the Wan family's affairs drag me down with me."
He murmured softly, his tone carrying a hint of self-protective indifference.
Despite having no feelings for Zhu Yahan, he still dialed the number and coldly ordered, "Someone, take Zhu Yahan to the hospital. Remember, don't let her die. I don't want to get involved in a murder case."
After hanging up the phone, a complex look flashed in Zhu Shigou's eyes.
He took a deep breath, turned and left the room, his back view exuding a sense of determination and coldness.
"The future of the Zhu family depends on me alone."
……
After all the guests had left, night had fallen, and the Zhu family villa finally returned to tranquility.
After a busy day, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but Zhu Ziqing remained immersed in excitement and couldn't calm down for a long time.
She pushed open the door and circled the room a few times like a cheerful little bird, her face beaming with a happy smile.
"Haoyu, do you know what? I'm so happy today, I want to tell the whole world!" Zhu Ziqing held Tan Haoyu's hand, her eyes sparkling.
Tan Haoyu looked at her tenderly, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Oh? So how do you plan to tell the whole world?"
Zhu Ziqing tilted her head and thought for a moment, her tone playful: "I want to tell Mom that I'm very happy now, so she can rest assured. And to those who hurt me, I want them to know that I'm doing even better than they imagined!"
Her voice was firm and confident, as if she were announcing her victory.
Tan Haoyu gently ruffled her hair, his tone indulgent: "Okay, let's set off now."
He picked up a coat from the side and carefully draped it over Zhu Ziqing's shoulders. Then he put on his own coat, took her hand, and walked outside.
Zhu Ziqing asked with some confusion, "Where are we going so late?"
Tan Haoyu smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when we get there."
Although Zhu Ziqing was somewhat worried, looking at Tan Haoyu's gentle yet firm eyes, she chose to trust him and follow him.
Tan Haoyu drove himself, and the car sped through the night.
More than an hour later, they finally arrived at their destination – Jinquan Mountain Villa Tourist Resort.
As soon as Zhu Ziqing got out of the car, she recognized the place, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "This is... the place we came to not long after our wedding!"
Tan Haoyu nodded, a hint of pride in his voice: "That's right, this is the place."
Zhu Ziqing blinked and asked mischievously, "As a senior executive of Sunshine Group, do you have any free privileges?"
Tan Haoyu nodded with a smile: "Of course."
Zhu Ziqing remarked, "The employee benefits at Sunshine Group are really good; I'm starting to regret resigning."
Tan Haoyu gently squeezed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, you'll still have the preferential treatment you deserve. After all, you're my wife."
As they walked and chatted, Zhu Ziqing suddenly joked, "By the way, Haoyu, have you ever heard of Jack Tan? I heard he's the behind-the-scenes boss of the Sunshine Group, and he's very mysterious!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Haoyu suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her seriously: "Ziqing, actually I am Jack Tan."
Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Don't tease me, how could you possibly be Jack Tan?"
Tan Haoyu sighed helplessly: "I'm telling the truth."
Zhu Ziqing waved her hand, her tone slightly teasing: "Alright, alright, I believe you, okay?"
Although she said she believed it, her eyes clearly showed her disapproval.
Seeing this, Tan Haoyu felt somewhat helpless, but for a moment he didn't know how to explain further.
Zhu Ziqing playfully took his arm and winked: "Okay, whether you're Jack Tan or not, shouldn't we go inside the villa now? I don't want to be out in the cold wind."
Tan Haoyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go in."
He had notified his assistant, Yang Piaoliang, in advance, and the management staff had been waiting for a long time.
The two took a sightseeing bus straight to the villa where they had stayed before.
As night fell, the lights of Jinquan Villa shone like stars, as if illuminating their path to happiness.
Zhu Ziqing leaned on Tan Haoyu's shoulder, her heart filled with sweetness and anticipation.
Tan Haoyu held her hand tightly.
After Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu got out of the car, they stood at the entrance of the villa. Her gaze wandered over the familiar scenery, and she was filled with emotion.
"The last time we came here, we were just strangers," Zhu Ziqing said softly, her tone carrying a hint of sweet reminiscence.
Tan Haoyu turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "Now, you are my wife."
Zhu Ziqing's face flushed slightly, and she smiled down, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
Tan Haoyu didn't take her directly back to the room, but instead took her hand and walked towards the beach.
The sea breeze at night carried a salty, damp scent, and the waves crashed against the rocks, making a deep, resonant sound.
Like a child, Zhu Ziqing excitedly stepped onto the sand, feeling the softness under her feet.
"Haoyu, listen, the sound of the waves is so beautiful!" She closed her eyes, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Tan Haoyu looked at her with eyes full of affection: "Why don't you try shouting out to the sea? Let all your emotions out."
Zhu Ziqing opened her eyes, somewhat hesitant: "Shout it out? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"
Tan Haoyu chuckled: "There are only the two of us here, what are we afraid of?"
Zhu Ziqing thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at him mischievously: "Then you'll shout with me, okay?"
Tan Haoyu paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "Me? I don't need to, you go ahead and call."
Zhu Ziqing pouted, feigning disappointment: "You're always so calm, it's really boring."
But she quickly laughed again, a sly glint in her eyes: "Never mind, I'll do it myself!"
She took a deep breath and turned to look at Tan Haoyu: "Haoyu, I might look very unladylike when I shout, you won't be scared, will you?"
Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I'd be scared?"
Zhu Ziqing blinked and smiled, "Alright, I'm going to start now!"
Facing the sea, she cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Mom! Can you hear me? I'm so happy now! I've met a wonderful person named Tan Haoyu! He's so good to me, and the Tan family has accepted me! I'm not alone anymore!"
Her voice echoed in the sea breeze, making it exceptionally clear.
Tan Haoyu stood to the side, listening to her words, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
