Paranoid CEO Can’t Afford To Provoke

Chapter 706: Talkative stepmother

"Who wants to bet with you!" Du Xingbang refused.

"What do you want to bet on?" However, Qiu Jingzhi was quite interested, and she looked at Du Ruo with a vigilant expression.

She always feels that this stepdaughter is not a good role to deal with, but this bet is good for her.

And Du Ruo really lived up to expectations.

She said: "Just take Yipinxian as a bet for a year. If the Cheng family makes a comeback, the Yipinxian will still be mine; if the Cheng family falls down like this, the Yipinxian will be returned to my father."

Qiu Jingzhi smiled with joy when she heard this.

She didn't expect Du Ruo to be so confused, even such an outrageous bet could be said.

For her, she won't lose anyway when she takes this bet.

When Du Xingbang heard this, he refused.

"No! You never want to be with that fugitive again!"

Du Ruo didn't bother to correct her father anymore, just raised his eyes to Qiu Jingzhi.

Because she knew very well that with this woman's greedy nature, she would never do anything to disappoint herself.

Sure enough, Qiu Jingzhi said,

"Xingbang, don't rush to reject the child. You have to think about it. Du Ruo has been so obedient since she was a child, right? She is also very smart and can see the situation clearly. In case, I mean in case, this Cheng family really gets up again. So, didn’t we offend them? We have agreed to the child’s bet now, and even if she does not live well in the future, we can still help her, right?"

Du Xingbang snorted coldly, showing an appearance that he did not approve of, but fortunately, he was unwilling to reprimand Qiu Jingzhi in front of Du Ruo.

And this naturally gave Qiu Jingzhi more room to play, she hurriedly continued,

"Young people, always go crazy for love, and feelings, you know it coldly and warmly, and you can guarantee that she will be happier with others than with Cheng Feiyang? You quarreled so much. On the contrary, it hurts your father and daughter’s feelings, so really, there is no need to quarrel. Anyway, the bet is only one year. Anyway, we won’t lose the child. Why don’t you just... let her try?"

Listening to Qiu Jingzhi's words, Du Ruo couldn't help feeling wanting to laugh.

It turns out that my stepmother, after seeing a profit, is also good at talking.

Du Xingbang was still silent, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was a little moved.

After all, something happened to the Cheng family only now, and Ji Zhuoran hadn't had a major accident before, but he still managed to pass it.

With the lessons of the past, he really didn't dare to pack a ticket and say what the Cheng family must be.

However, thinking about the way his daughter quarreled with him before, he was still a little angry.

But Du Ruo was also very clever at this time, and said decisively,

"Dad, actually tell me before you come, and I don't want to be so noisy with you, but at that time what you said was really awkward. If I don't show my attitude, am I still a human being?"

Du Xingbang was about to attack, "You..."

"Oh, Xingbang, the child is right. You blame Du Ruo for quarreling with you, but she is not arguing with you deliberately, she is also defending Cheng Shao and them. You know that you are short-tempered. I think Du Ruo is right, let's not embarrass her."

"But..." Du Xingbang still hesitated.

Qiu Jingzhi whispered to him,

"Why are you arguing with Du Ruo now? With her temper, she won't be softened. It's better to agree to her temporarily. She and Cheng Feiyang were in a bad relationship before, otherwise, the matter of getting married will disappear. Why? You might as well let the flow go first. Maybe they will be divided by then. Even if they don’t, you can introduce other people to Du Ruo when Cheng really can’t get up.”

Du Ruo saw Qiu Jingzhi there with the pillow breeze blowing vigorously, and knew in his heart that this matter was 80% done.

Sure enough, Du Xingbang snorted coldly and looked at Du Ruo after a while:

"You want me to ignore you, it's okay; but my words are here, there will be days for you to cry in the future!"

As soon as the voice fell, he walked away.

And Qiu Jingzhi also hurriedly followed. Before leaving, she took a look at Du Ruo, and Du Ruo responded calmly to her gaze.

When her father and stepmother left, Du Ruo immediately called her assistant Tingting.

"Which direction did Cheng Shao go?"

Tingting looked puzzled, "Mr. Du, do you... really have to be involved with Shao Cheng?"

Although Cheng's news has not been reported by the media, many people already know that such a big incident has not been covered.

Therefore, Tingting had to ask so many questions out of consideration for Du Ruo.

Du Ruo smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry about it, just say it, I know you will pay attention to this."

For the first time, Tingting did not respond to Du Ruo's request directly, but said:

"When I passed by the VIP room before, I heard you and Dong Du had a terrible quarrel, Mr. Du, would you like to..."

Du Ruo said seriously, "Don't feel that it is justified to force someone to act for someone's good."
