However, Zhou Jiancheng looked at her with full confidence and said, “Why wouldn’t it succeed? You just don’t understand men. What does it matter if a man’s wife at home is beautiful? For men, the woman who doesn’t belong to them is the most enticing.”
He didn’t believe for a moment that Yi Lingfeng was some kind of romantic fool.
Just like himself, wasn’t his own wife beautiful?
Certainly, she was!
But after marriage, the level of her beauty in his eyes took a significant hit.
Even waking up in the morning, she was not as refreshing as a hair-washing girl outside.
If it weren’t for getting tired of his wife at home, did she think her mom, An Rourou, a high school graduate working as a foot masseuse, would have had a chance to become his mistress?
Listening to Zhou Jiancheng’s theory, An Ran felt nauseated to the point of wanting to vomit.
He assumed that everyone in the world was just like him?
Moreover, he knew full well that she and Yi Lingfeng shared a blood relationship, yet he had no hesitation in asking her to seduce Yi Lingfeng just to obtain leverage over him.
To Zhou Jiancheng, this illegitimate daughter of his was probably worth less than a dog.
But even so, her mother chose Zhou Jiancheng over her own daughter, often lamenting why she wasn’t a boy.
As if being a boy would make Zhou Jiancheng marry her.
But on the surface, she remained silent, letting him display the worst aspects of men to the fullest.

Jiang Wan Yu woke up from her sleep, and the locksmiths sent by the company had also arrived.
After replacing the locks with the most secure ones available, they left.
Yi Lingfeng remarked, “This way, no one will be able to break in without permission in the middle of the night.”
Jiang Wan Yu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, knowing he was referring to Lin Yi Chen.
But she was also thankful that Lin Yi Chen had barged in unexpectedly.
Otherwise, last night, she probably wouldn’t have been able to break free from Yi Lingfeng’s subordinates.
“Uhm… I didn’t go to the company today, is that okay?” Jiang Wan Yu quickly changed the subject.
Yi Lingfeng heard her and immediately responded, “It’s fine. It’s the weekend anyway. Normally, the company has weekends off, but I usually go to the office on weekends. This time, I wanted to bring you with me, which is why I had you start today. But, you can officially start your job on Monday.”
“That’s good,” Jiang Wan Yu nodded and then didn’t have much else to say.
Seeing this, Yi Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, “I’m sorry about what happened last night. I didn’t expect someone to drug me during the party.”
Hearing him bring up the incident, Jiang Wan Yu pursed her lips and replied, “I know you didn’t do it on purpose.”
“By the way, did you find out who drugged you?” Jiang Wan Yu asked.
Yi Lingfeng hummed.
“I’ve got some leads. It seems to be my uncle, Zhou Jiancheng,” said Yi Lingfeng while his eyes turned cold.
“Your uncle is Zhou Jiancheng?” Jiang Wan Yu looked surprised.
Even in the Jiang family, which was once one of Jiang City’s top elite families, she had heard of Zhou Jiancheng’s name.
She hadn’t expected this person to be Yi Lingfeng’s uncle.
“Yeah, I took my mother’s surname. After my parents passed away, I went abroad,” Yi Lingfeng’s gaze settled on Jiang Wan Yu’s face.
“Oh, so he’s targeting you because of…?” Jiang Wan Yu began to speculate.
Her father had previously informed her that the Zhou family’s success had initially relied on the backing of the family related to the in-laws, known as the Yi family.
However, following the untimely death of the Zhou family’s head in a car accident, the assets of the Yi family had gradually been assimilated, and the Zhou family had undergone a transformation, ultimately coming under the ownership of the Zhou family.
Considering Zhou Jiancheng’s current actions against Yi Lingfeng, it’s probable that he is concerned about Yi Lingfeng attempting to regain control of the assets belonging to the Yi family’s company.
