Out of control and sinking

Jiang Ruan felt a little pressured being stared at by him.

She never expected that her words of advice to Tian Tian would be taken to heart, causing her to distance herself from Zou Ji.

To be honest, Jiang Ruan still harbors doubts about Zou Ji.

Will he really be the right person for Tian Tian?

Tian Tian is so innocent.

"Don't worry," Jiang Ruan said. "I'll try to meet with Tian Tian when I have some free time to see what's going on. Maybe she's just really busy lately, which is why she hasn't been able to see you."

Zou Ji nodded: "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

As he spoke, Zou Ji raised his hand, and the person behind him immediately stepped forward, holding a gift box in his hands.

Zou Ji opened the box, and inside was a necklace of aquamarine and diamonds, the size of a pigeon's egg.

Extremely luxurious.

Its value is clearly considerable.

"Sister-in-law, this is a gift for you. Please accept it," Zou Ji said politely.

Jiang Ruan refused: "No, this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Zou Ji said, "You've helped me so much, it's only right that I do this..."

Jiang Ruan interrupted him: "Zou Ji."

She paused, then softened her tone, "Mr. Zou, you and Bo Ye are business partners, so I have nothing to say about that. But Tian Tian and I are good friends now. She's very naive. I know you love her, but have you considered that South Africa is so chaotic? If you take her back there in the future, will she really be able to accept the living environment there?"

Her tone was gentle, yet sharp.

Every word struck Zou Ji squarely.

Zou Ji remained unfazed: "You don't need to worry about this."

Jiang Ruan was about to speak.

Zou Ji continued, "How can you be so sure I'll take her back to South Africa?"

He stared at her.

Jiang Ruan was taken aback: "What else? Isn't South Africa your home?"

Zou Ji smiled and said seriously, "No, I'm of mixed Chinese and Portuguese descent. South Africa is just where my family is located. Didn't Bo Ye tell you that I have some assets in China and Portugal?" "If Tian Tian likes China, I'll live with her from now on."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Zou Ji said, "Last time was a mistake. This time I will definitely not let her get hurt again. I will resolve all the problems in advance."

Zou Ji said, "Jiang Ruan, I know better than you how to protect her."

These words were something Jiang Ruan never expected.

Zou Ji's attitude was very upright, and he didn't seem like he was making up a lie.

But if he's really willing to stay in the country with Tian Tian permanently, then that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Jiang Ruan's inner turmoil was broken at this moment, and she gave Zou Ji a genuine smile: "I understand your feelings."

"Let me contact Tian Tian and see how things go. I'll have Bo Ye tell you."

Zou Ji: "Thank you."

“But I can’t accept the gift, you should take it back.” Jiang Ruan said, “I’m helping you because you love Tian Tian, ​​nothing else. But if I find out even a little bit that you don’t truly love her, I won’t help you.”

She spoke very decisively.

This also made Zou Ji look at her with new respect.

Zou Ji's lips twitched slightly: "I understand."

“I suddenly think I understand why Bo Ye likes you.” Zou Ji smiled casually: “Sister-in-law, you really are different from other women.”

Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow, but readily accepted the compliment: "Thank you for the compliment."

"Alright, since you've already brought it up, I'll take it back."

Zou Ji said, "When you and Bo Ye get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zou Ji left with his men.

Jiang Ruan's smile faded, and just as she was about to turn around and go upstairs, she looked up and saw the man standing at the corner of the stairs.
