Six Years Later: Wrecking His World with Quadruplets - Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Although the other person tried to keep their voice down, Nan Wanyue’s ears were sharp, and she heard every single word clearly.

She was so consumed by hatred that her eyes looked ready to bleed!

Ever since Di Yuntian had forcibly taken Song Liqin away that day, her reputation in the R&D Department had plummeted to an all-time low.

In the past, the staff in the R&D Department would have feared her. Now, no one even spared her a second glance.

In their spare time, the topic of conversation was always about how Nan Zhiyi was actually Aletta.

Every word they spoke was filled with admiration for Nan Zhiyi.

Meanwhile, she was forced to live in the shadow of Nan Zhiyi’s fame!

Nan Wanyue had been seething with rage and resentment for the past few days. Why did that bitch, Nan Zhiyi, have to return to the Nan Family in the first place? Why did she have to come back and snatch everything away? Why did the fact that she had no blood relation to the Nan Family have to be exposed?

Why did Nan Zhiyi have to return to the country?

Why… couldn’t she have just died abroad?!

Nan Zhiyi was completely unaware of her impotent fury.

After submitting her newly developed formula, she continued with her work.

With Di Shijing absent and the events of that day kept under wraps, Nan Zhiyi found her time at work quite pleasant.

After several days of hard work, the progress on formula optimization in Research Lab 2 was encouraging…

Not only that, but the research skills of everyone in the lab had improved significantly after receiving pointers from Nan Zhiyi.

As news of Research Lab 2’s achievements spread, people from other labs began flocking to Nan Zhiyi for advice.

This left Nan Zhiyi busier than ever.

On Thursday evening, Nan Zhiyi was working overtime with Lin Zhizhi and a few others on a formula issue when Sheng Shiyu suddenly called.

Nan Zhiyi picked up. “What made you think to call me all of a sudden?”

However, the voice that came from the other end wasn’t Sheng Shiyu’s, but that of an unfamiliar man. “Hello, are you a friend of the owner of this phone? This lady is drunk at the Blue Crystal Club. I’m a waiter here; could you please come and pick her up?”

“The Blue Crystal Club, right? Okay, I’ll be there right away!”

Nan Zhiyi didn’t dare delay for a second.

She knew Sheng Shiyu had a business social event tonight.

She just hadn’t expected that Sheng Shiyu, who was usually so adept at social navigation, would actually get drunk this time.

Without thinking twice, Nan Zhiyi told the person on the phone, “I’ll be there soon. Please look after my friend for me in the meantime.”

“Alright. Once you arrive, you can come straight to Private Room 2.”

“Understood.”

Hanging up, Nan Zhiyi changed out of her work clothes, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

“What’s wrong? Why the rush? Did something happen?”

Hearing the commotion, Lin Zhizhi turned around to ask.

“Yeah, something came up.”

Nan Zhiyi nodded. “My best friend got drunk at a social event, and I need to go pick her up.”

“Is it President Sheng? Let me go with you. If she’s really drunk, it’ll be better to have an extra pair of hands to help.”

Lin Zhizhi wasn’t comfortable letting her go alone and decided to tag along.

“Okay.”

Nan Zhiyi didn’t refuse her kindness, and the two of them left the company together.

Meanwhile, at the airport.

Di Shijing had just stepped off his flight.

After leaving the airport, his first priority was to head to the Old Mansion to pick up the children and, while he was at it, have a talk with Old Master Di.

His business abroad was finished, but the investigation into Nan Zhiyi’s years spent overseas had yielded no further progress.

He couldn’t stay abroad indefinitely, so he had returned first.

However, just as he got into the car, Zhou Yi brought something to his attention.
A European client had just arrived in the country with his wife for a vacation and wanted to meet with him to discuss a potential collaboration.

“Mr. Smith has a very tight schedule and is leaving tomorrow morning. He’s currently at the Blue Crystal Club. Should we head over there?” Zhou Yi asked in a low voice.

When it came to work, Di Shijing never hesitated. He could visit the Old Master later.

He changed his plans immediately. “Fine. Let’s go to the Blue Crystal Club first.”

Zhou Yi nodded and promptly instructed the driver to change their destination.

After Nan Zhiyi and Lin Zhizhi arrived at the club, they headed straight for Private Room 2, as the waiter had instructed.

Nan Zhiyi’s original plan was simply to pick up Sheng Shiyu and leave.

However, she hadn’t expected to find a young man and several bodyguards in black in the private room alongside Sheng Shiyu.

The man was reasonably handsome, but his slightly upturned eyes gave off an inexplicably sinister vibe.

As for Sheng Shiyu, she wasn’t drunk at all. Instead, she was being restrained by two bodyguards, her expression full of indignation.

When she saw Nan Zhiyi appear, she called out nervously, “Zhizhi…”

Nan Zhiyi understood instantly that Sheng Shiyu had run into trouble.

“What’s going on?” she asked.

Sheng Shiyu struggled hard and managed to break free this time.

She rushed to Nan Zhiyi’s side and whispered, “That’s Ling Muye, the President of the Ling Group. I ran into him just as I was about to leave, and he forced me in here. I only intended to exchange a few pleasantries and leave, but he resorted to force. He even snatched my phone and used it to call you here!”

Sheng Shiyu’s voice was laced with anger toward Ling Muye.

Nan Zhiyi’s brow furrowed upon hearing this.

After Di Shijing mentioned he would handle the aftermath with the Ling Family, she thought she could rest easy.

She hadn’t expected that she still wouldn’t be able to avoid them…

She had heard of this Ling Muye before.

He was a well-known playboy in the capital with considerable business acumen. However, he was notorious for his underhanded tactics and his messy social circle.

This was exactly why she had rejected the Ling Family before…

“What a nuisance.”

Nan Zhiyi sighed softly.

At that moment, Ling Muye was staring intently at Nan Zhiyi, a dark glint brewing in his eyes.

A few days ago, Di Shijing had pressured the Ling Family and warned them not to touch ZELING.

As the heir to the Ling Family-one of the Five Great Families-Ling Muye’s status was not much lower than Di Shijing’s. He was naturally rebellious and hated being threatened above all else.

Di Shijing’s actions had made him feel like he had lost face.

Furthermore, the Ling Family and the Di Corporation had always been at odds, so he hadn’t taken the warning from the Di side seriously at all.

Having run into the head of ZELING tonight, Ling Muye seized the opportunity to settle the score.

“Zhizhi, what do we do now?” Sheng Shiyu asked worriedly.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m here,” Nan Zhiyi reassured her, squeezing her hand.

She then pulled Sheng Shiyu behind her and looked at Ling Muye. “President Ling, you certainly went to great lengths just to get me here.”

Her tone and gaze were calm and fearless.

Ling Muye curled his lips into a playful smirk. “It was no trouble at all! The rumors say Aletta is mysterious and difficult to meet. When I ran into President Sheng tonight, I wanted to see if I could make Aletta show herself voluntarily. It seems I was right-meeting you isn’t as hard as I imagined…”
