Chapter 1623: The competition
Luo Feiyang couldn't reach them, so he called Lou Ziling.
The call went through, and a gentle female voice came from the other end.""Hello, how are you?"
Luo Feiyang was stunned. He quickly took out his phone and looked at the number.
That's right, it was Lou Ziling's number!
"Isn't this Lou Ziling's phone?"Luo Feiyang asked with doubt.
"Yes, it's his," Zuo Jia quickly replied."He left his phone with me. Is there anything you need from him?"
Luo Feiyang couldn't be bothered to look for Lou Ziling anymore. He frowned and asked,""Who are you? Why is he holding Lou Ziling's phone?"
"My surname is Zuo. I guess I can be considered a friend of Lou Ziling. Are you his friend too?"
Luo Feiyang snorted coldly."I'm not his friend. I'm his fiancée's friend!" I'm warning you, Lou Ziling is already engaged. Stay away from him, or I won't be polite!"
He didn't care what the relationship between the person on the other end of the phone and Lou Ziling was. He just wanted to threaten her.
His arrogant and domineering nature had not been exposed for a long time, so he was quite impolite when he shouted at people.
However, Zuo Jia was not tan Ruyi. Although her voice was gentle, she had grown up in a wealthy family and was not a girl who could be bullied.
Luo Feiyang's attitude made Zuo Jia A little angry. She had wanted to clarify her relationship with Lou Ziling but now she didn't want to explain anything.
"Sir, is there any legal effect on the engagement? Even if they were married, there were countless people who were divorced. Could they turn a blind eye to their fiancé after getting engaged? I've been with Ziling for a few days now, but I haven't seen his fiancée!"
Zuo Jia's voice was still gentle, but her tone wasn't so polite anymore.
She was the mayor's daughter, her grandfather was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and her grandfather was a general in the Army. Few people dared to bully her from such a prominent family.
The only person who could bully her was Lou Ziling.
However, Lou Ziling was very polite to her. He didn't even break the ice to avoid embarrassment.
"If your friend, miss Jing, doesn't cherish Lou Ziling, what's wrong with me loving him? I won't leave Lou Ziling. I'll always be by his side. If your friend doesn't want him anymore, remember to tell me. I'm willing to marry him and be with him for the rest of my life!"
Luo Feiyang was furious. He wanted to curse a little more, but the phone had already hung up. The other party had actually hung up!
He was so angry that he almost dropped his phone. However, when he calmed down, he suddenly realized that the other party was talking about Lou Ziling, not Li Xiao!
She had mentioned Jing Xi. She knew that Lou Ziling was engaged to Jing Xi!
In other words, she knew Lou Ziling's double identity!
Luo Feiyang's expression became serious. Lou Ziling and Jing Xi had kept it from almost everyone. Only their closest relatives knew about Lou Ziling's identity.
Was this woman already very close to Lou Ziling?
Luo Feiyang called Jing Xi anxiously, but both her and tan Ruyi's phones were turned off. He couldn't find them even if he wanted to.
Lou Ziling realized that she had lost her phone half an hour after Luo Feiyang and Zuo Jia's conversation.
He drove back to Zuo Jia's house to get his phone. Zuo Jia seemed to know that he would come back, and was already waiting for him at the door.
Thanks to Zuo Jia's care, he was able to meet the Mayor, Zuo Yan, at Zuo Jia's house.
At the same time, he had also witnessed Zuo Yan's love and pampering for Zuo Jia. Zuo Yan even spoke bluntly,"As long as his daughter was happy, he was willing to do anything.
Zuo Jia lived alone in her own house, which was located in a beautiful resort in the suburbs.
In order to show his integrity, Zuo Yan had brought his wife to live in an ordinary residential area, but he could not bear to let his daughter suffer. He had specially bought her a villa and sent servants and bodyguards to take care of her daily life.
But in fact, Zuo Jia didn't need anyone to take care of her. She was a good cook, and she cooked by herself almost every day.
She asked Lou Ziling to meet Zuo Yan and she made dinner by herself.
Zuo Jia was standing at the door of the villa in her slippers. When she saw Lou Ziling driving over, she handed him his phone."Ziling, I want to apologize to you first."
Lou Ziling took the phone and asked calmly,""What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have picked up your private phone call."
Zuo Jia's voice was very soft."You didn't save the other party's number, so I thought it was a call from your colleague, so I picked up. I didn't expect him to be a friend of your fiancée."
Lou Ziling frowned. Ji moxuan? Or Luo Feiyang?
He turned on his phone and looked at his call history. It was Luo Feiyang.
Things might be a little bad. Luo Feiyang loved to gossip. He could probably make up a lot of stories about him and Zuo Jia in an instant. Would Jing Xi misunderstand?
He dialed Jing Xi's number in front of Zuo Jia, but she still didn't pick up.
"Miss Zuo, please don't answer my calls in the future."
In fact, Zuo Jia was a little regretful. She had been too impulsive and said something she shouldn't have. She didn't know if she would implicate Lou Ziling.
"I might have said something unpleasant, but your fiancée's friend was very blunt. I couldn't help but argue with him."
Lou Ziling knew very well that Zuo Jia and Luo Feiyang were not just bickering, but it was meaningless for him to argue about it.
He didn't stay long at Zuo Jia's place and returned to the manor.
The manor was deserted. Lou Ziling walked alone in the lonely pine and cypress forest. He felt that it would be good if Jing Xi was by his side.
She was so cruel to throw him away.
He wasn't used to her appearing every day when she was by his side, but he was already used to her running out to cause trouble when she was by his side.
He thought about it and sent a text message to Jing Xi, hoping that she would see the message as soon as she got off the plane and give him a call.
However, Lou Ziling did not receive a call from Jing Xi until the next morning. When he called, Jing Xi's phone was either turned off or the line was blocked.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now, Jing Xi must be angry and deliberately ignored his call.
Lou Ziling ate her breakfast quickly and went to the company absent-mindedly.
Zuo Jia had arrived earlier than him. She was wearing a Lake Green dress and followed Lou Ziling into his office.
She placed a thick stack of documents on Lou Ziling's desk and said softly,""These are all the projects that your company has submitted to the government for the past two years. I've gotten the approval for you. You can start work on these projects now."
Her expression was calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
Lou Ziling slowly walked to her side and said in a serious tone,""Many thanks!"
These projects were originally under Li Jing's control. Her power in the government was deeply rooted, and many people did not believe that she was dead. They were still loyal to her and refused to cooperate with Lou Ziling.
What Zuo Jia had done was equivalent to clearing countless obstacles for him, and his prestige would be raised to an unprecedented level.
