A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1614: Past and Present Lives 50

Chapter 1614: Chapter 1612: Past and Present Lives 50

Chapter 1612

The driver wouldn’t talk.

Wanxin, helpless, resorted to hiring a private detective.

It was also due to Zhao Junyao’s carelessness, as he wasn’t wary of anyone.

Thus, Wanxin succeeded.

About six or seven days later, as Zhao Junyao once again drove to Xia Ruqing, Wanxin also received the news.

She was so furious her face turned pale, her fingertips clenched tightly.

“It really is her!”

“I knew that woman had ill intentions!”

“She even pretended to be high-minded! And I actually believed her!”

Her anger made her lose her cool, and the assistant beside her dared not speak. This matter was too embarrassing to discuss with her best friend, for fear of being laughed at.

Pondering this and that, unable to find anyone who could help her, Wanxin was extremely frustrated.

“I can’t go personally; if Ah Yao finds out, I’ll be doomed!”

She anxiously slapped the table.

“What should I do, what should I do?”

“Speak up!”

She rudely and directly questioned her assistant.

The little assistant was terrified: Oh heavens, the temper of this wealthy young lady, she really couldn’t handle it!

After hesitating and fearing for quite a while, she lowered her head meekly.

“I really have no idea!”

“But people always say, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, think about it, who is that woman’s enemy?”

Wanxin was half dead with anger.

“Of course, her enemy is me! Are you stupid?”

The little assistant shook her head.

“Actually, that’s not the case!”

“Besides you, her enemy should also be another young master of the Zhao Group, Zhao Junqi!”

Wanxin frowned, even more unbelievable.

“You’re crazy!”

“That guy Zhao Junqi is always scheming to seize Ah Yao’s property, he’s full of bad intentions, I don’t even want to see him!”

The little assistant thought about it and said.

“That depends on your sincerity, Miss!”

“Everything has a trade-off; if you’re willing to help him, he will certainly help you!”

Wanxin was devastated.

“You mean, you want me to help him seize Ah Yao’s property?”

The little assistant shrank her neck.

“Property lost can be regained, but if your marriage is gone…”

Wanxin’s expression suddenly stiffened.

If the marriage is gone, all the property is gone as well, it’s a losing situation!

She weighed things carefully and then stood up.

“Fine! I’ll give it a try!”

…

Zhao Junqi received the call very late at night.

He was sleeping drowsily when the phone rang, already irritated and reluctant to answer.

But Wanxin kept calling and calling, driving him crazy, so he had to answer.

“Hello!”

“What do you mean calling in the middle of the night!”

Considering Wanxin’s previous attitude of avoiding them mother and son, Zhao Junqi’s tone wasn’t any better.

Now being the one needing help, Wanxin’s attitude was much softer.

“Brother Junqi!”

“It’s me, Wanxin!”

Zhao Junqi was shocked by this address, sneering repeatedly in disbelief.

“You’re the young lady of the Shih Family, I’m the discarded son, I can’t bear such an address, you’d better call me by my name!”

Wanxin, helpless, had to change her words.

“Junqi!”

These two words were still unpleasant, but Zhao Junqi was too lazy to care, impatiently saying.

“Tell me straight what you want, don’t dawdle, I want to sleep early!”

The branch office’s work is draining him, Xu Corporation’s business also hasn’t progressed.

Lately, he’s been busy, truly not daring to delay a moment.

After a tiring day, he finally had some respite lying down to rest, only to be awakened by Wanxin, who has always looked down on him.

His mood can be imagined.

Wanxin, hearing this, dared not delay, quickly stating her intentions.

“I want you to help me get rid of someone!”

Zhao Junqi was so angry he laughed.

“Oh, you’re actually asking for help? Did I hear wrongly?”

Wanxin felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

“No!”

“You didn’t hear wrong, I want you to help me get rid of someone!”

“Her name is Xia Ruqing, I’ll send the information to you later!”

“All you have to do is make her disappear completely from Ah Yao’s world!”

“Of course, I won’t let you help for free, I can also do something for you! As long as I can!”

Zhao Junqi laughed as he listened.

“You do something for me?”

“What can you do for me? You haven’t even married yet, and whether you can marry… is still a question!”

Though the wedding date is set, so what?

The position of the young director’s wife in a wealthy family has many people eyeing it; as long as there’s no certificate or wedding, even if it’s just one day away, there are still variables.

Things like this happen all the time.

So, Wanxin should be facing abandonment now.

“Hahaha! Even you have days like this!”

“You scorned me as the discarded son of my family, and now you, the family’s abandoned bride? Hahaha!”

Zhao Junqi laughed triumphantly.

On the other end of the phone, Wanxin was biting her lip in rage, not daring to show it.

She could only curse angrily in her heart, ‘I’m not a discarded bride! You’re the nailed-down discarded son!’

Taking a deep breath to suppress her hate, Wanxin calmly said.

“I’ll help you return to the head office, and you help me deal with this person, how about that?”

“Once it’s done, we owe each other nothing!”

Zhao Junqi suddenly stopped laughing, then burst into laughter again.

“Hahaha, you’re really gonna kill me with laughter!”

“You can’t even keep your own position and you boast about helping me!”

“Hahaha, do you believe what you’re saying?”

Wanxin was so angry she clenched her fists tightly.

“Believe it or not!”

“Call me when you’ve thought it through, I’m hanging up now!”

She finished speaking and hung up furiously, angry enough to want to punch the wall.

“What a thing, a useless discarded son from the family who can’t be lifted, his vision is just that small!”

“Wait till I become the young director’s wife, let’s see how I deal with you!”

Zhao Junqi on the other side.

After hanging up the phone, he stopped laughing and thought carefully.

“Although Wanxin doesn’t have Zhao Junyao’s affection, she still has some face with Old Master Zhao!”

“If she really can…”

He was thinking when his computer’s email dinged, signaling a message.

Looking at it, it was the information about ‘Xia Ruqing’ as just mentioned.

Looking carefully, the parental section showed none, the family relationship section also showed none.

He sighed in relief. Turns out she’s an orphan?

No wonder she’s keen to climb up!”

Seeing Wanxin so scared, seems that woman must have a few tricks too!”

Unfortunately… without a strong background, she’ll eventually be destroyed by the storm!

Can’t blame him for being rude, can you?

Thinking about it, he replied to Wanxin’s email.

‘If you handle your end, I won’t let you down!’

…

Seeing a small line in the email reply section, Wanxin was somewhat excited.

“Does this mean the agreement is reached!”

She instructed the assistant.

“Arrange a meeting with Uncle Zhao for me tomorrow, and buy some gifts, I need to visit him!”

The assistant agreed, taking note of the tasks.

Wanxin smiled contentedly.
