Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 219: After Kicking Out the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddha Dotes on His Wife 19
Jinghua No.1 is the Zhou Family’s property, and now, Zhou Mingyu is the actual controlling shareholder.
He owned an entire floor in Jinghua No.1, which was their current location.
When they stepped out of the elevator, what came into view was sheer luxury. The floor was covered in soft carpet, and the corridor’s wall lamps and paintings were anything but ordinary, all crafted by famous artists and casually adorning the hallway.
At the moment, Su Zhiruan was sitting on the sofa at a considerable distance from the TV. The overall design was simple, yet it was evident that this place was far from simple, whether from the furniture or the ornaments. Any item taken out would fetch a significant price.
Not long after the secretary left, the suite’s doorbell rang.
"I’ll get the door," Zhou Mingyu said as he stood up and lightly patted her shoulder, signaling for her to sit back and relax.
Su Zhiruan watched the steady seep of blood droplets from her arm without insisting.
"Mr. Zhou, I’ve brought the gauze you wanted," the waiter said, carrying a brand-new medical kit that was quite large, "The manager asked me to bring this as well. If there’s anything else you need, just let me know."
"Thank you, you can put it down," Zhou Mingyu stepped aside to let him in.
Just then, the waiter saw Su Zhiruan sitting on the sofa and paused in surprise. Following that, he placed the medical kit on the coffee table.
Zhou Mingyu walked over, opened the kit, took out the gauze and the medication for treating wounds, and tore open the packaging. "I’ll do it."
The waiter’s eyes widened a bit, and even his movements became somewhat hesitant.
"Okay," Su Zhiruan nodded, extending her arm toward Zhou Mingyu.
The waiter’s eyes immediately bulged even more.
"... Then I’ll be leaving," he cautiously retreated to the door, bowed deeply, and respectfully said, "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, if you need anything, you can call us."
At first, Su Zhiruan wasn’t paying attention to him, focusing entirely on her own arm.
But when she thought back, suddenly something felt amiss.
Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou?!
Now, here, it was just her and Zhou Mingyu, so this Mrs. Zhou... couldn’t possibly refer to her, right?
Su Zhiruan instinctively looked at the man in front of her attending to her with precision and care.
Her movement was a bit large, and Zhou Mingyu caught her wrist, "Don’t move."
"Zhou Mingyu," she looked up at him, "did you hear what he just said..."
At this moment, after the waiter left, it became quiet in the suite, and even on the entire floor, with only the two of them there. Light was shining in from outside, reflecting off the frames of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Shadows moved, but inexplicably, the surroundings seemed to grow even quieter. They were so close that they could only hear each other’s soft breathing and heartbeat.
"I heard it."
In the dim environment, she heard Zhou Mingyu chuckle lightly, fleeting but real. He didn’t stop what he was doing; in fact, he even swiped on his phone, and in an instant, the living room’s mood lighting was turned off, replaced by brighter overhead lights.
This time, Su Zhiruan truly saw his expression. Zhou Mingyu looked down, continuing to treat her wound. He was skilled and quick; the bleeding was stopped fast, and after wrapping the bandage, he packed up the remaining items into the medical kit. As he stood up, he slowly began, "Perhaps it’s because I’ve never had a partner by my side, and you are the first woman to appear before me, so they mistook you."
Su Zhiruan naturally knew, but after listening to Zhou Mingyu’s words just now, she couldn’t help feeling… that it sounded a bit like an explanation.
There were some things she couldn’t quite bring herself to say directly, so she simply nodded, following his lead, "I think so, too."
"It’s good that misunderstandings are cleared up," Zhou Mingyu said as he put away the medicine kit, and then he took his seat back on the sofa, just a person’s distance away from Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan looked at the bandage wrapped around her arm, somewhat in disbelief.
Actually… she wasn’t thinking of scheming against Zhou Mingyu right now.
But for now, after chatting online for two months and meeting up for just this short evening, so many things had happened.
Even her plan for dealing with Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou had been brought forward, and after a series of developments, she had somehow ended up in Zhou Mingyu’s suite.
Moreover, they were alone together, and he had bandaged her wound.
"Would you like to stay the night?" Zhou Mingyu looked at her with a bland tone, as if he was commenting on how nice the weather was today, "There are many rooms here, you can choose a guest room to stay in, and it’s not too late to leave tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, Su Zhiruan stood up, "Thank you for your trouble today, Mr. Zhou. I won’t stay tonight, until next time."
After saying that, Su Zhiruan nodded to him as a sign of courtesy.
"Then, be careful on your way," Zhou Mingyu said as he too got up.
After bidding farewell, Su Zhiruan pushed the door open and left.
The luxurious corridor was still in sight as she pressed the elevator button.
Jinghua No.1 was brightly lit even at night; it wasn’t apparent from the outside, and the guests couldn’t tell, only those walking in the corridors could see it.
Catching the night breeze, she pulled her car key out with one hand, and the doorman took it, driving her car up.
While she was waiting for the car, Su Zhiruan sent a message to Miss Mu and Miss Jiang with one hand, informing them that she was heading back first.
After that, she stepped off the stairs, and the doorman opened the car door for her, "Miss, have you been drinking? Do you need us to call a designated driver for you?"
"No need, my driver will come," she responded, having contacted her driver, and took a seat in the back of the car.
"Alright," the doorman closed her door for her and then stealthily walked away.
While waiting, Su Zhiruan leaned against the cushion, sorting out her thoughts.
Initially, her plan was to follow the storyline, but subtly change it to ensure Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou’s complete downfall.
She hadn’t broken off her engagement with Jiang Beiyu, even letting him gain more exposure to upper-class circles. His appearance at the bar with his mistress was thanks to the stack of invitations she had left in the duplex.
Jiang Beiyu was a Phoenix man, eager to climb up the social ladder using women, and getting a taste of this glittering world only fed his greed more. When the time came, she would have enough to ensure he was blacklisted throughout Jinghua, along with Bai Yueyou suffering the consequences she deserved.

Only, her plan of boiling the frog in warm water seemed no longer viable.
Originally, "she" shouldn’t have found out so soon about the mistress having an illegitimate child, but now, she would have to switch to a different strategy.
Bai Yueyou was best at playing the innocent to win men’s affection; Su Zhiruan was curious to see, if faced with someone even more innocent, whether she would lose her composure.
