Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 25: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
"Brother, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhou Ye put one hand in his pocket and tossed his lighter up and down with the other hand, asking boredly.

The two of them were standing in the garden. Li Ruoyao looked over from under the eaves not far away. Zhou Congli stood calmly and said, "Last time I told you about joining the company, how are you thinking about it?"

"Why are you talking about this again?" Zhou Ye said impatiently: "I told you last time that I don't want to work. I haven't even graduated yet, so what's wrong with playing around for a few more years?"

Zhou Congli looked at him and said, "If you don't work, how can you get married and take on responsibilities?"

Zhou Ye suddenly looked exaggerated: "Brother, how old am I to get married! Tsk, you are not going to get married yourself, so you come to urge me, spare me, although I have talked to Lin Zhi, we don't plan to get married so soon, let's talk about it in a few years."

When Zhou Congli heard him mention Lin Zhi, he asked inexplicably, "Are you still talking to Lin Zhi?"

Zhou Ye nodded: "Of course, didn't you keep asking me to contact her more often these past few days? Women are troublesome."

Zhou Congli looked at his younger brother in front of him. The news he received tonight and Zhou Ye’s recent performance flashed through his mind one by one.

He was clearly with Li Ruoyao in secret, but on the surface he was dating Lin Zhi. They had clearly broken up, but she lied to him many times about being together... A guess arose in his heart, and he felt it was extremely absurd. Is Zhou Ye crazy?

"I actually want to tell you that I plan to postpone the marriage. You have a good relationship with Ruoyao, so please help me persuade her not to get too excited." Zhou Congli suppressed his anger.

Zhou Ye was immediately furious: "Postponing the wedding? Why?"

He suddenly realized, "You just went to the study with Dad and talked about this? You want to postpone the wedding?" He felt incredible, "Are you crazy? The invitations have been sent out, and the wedding is still a week away. What will happen to Ruoyao if you do this?"

Zhou Ye simply didn't understand: "Dad won't agree to this."

Zhou Congli looked at him as he was seriously considering the pros and cons of this matter, and said with a half-smile: "Do you really want this marriage to continue?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, Zhou Ye felt that his elder brother already knew about him and Ruoyao, but he quickly denied this guess and said affirmatively: "Of course I hope the wedding will go on, otherwise it will be unfair to Ruoyao, she likes you so much."

Only he knew how against his will he was saying this. He was hoping that the two of them would get married, but he was planning to play the video at the wedding. Once the wedding was postponed, his plans would be disrupted.

Zhou Congli did not miss the gloom in his eyes: "I have already mentioned it to Dad. I will call Uncle Li and Aunt Li tomorrow to explain this matter clearly."

"That's all I have to say to you today. I'm leaving now."

At this moment, he didn't want to waste any more time talking to him. Since they wanted to be together so much, he would help them.

Zhou Ye didn't expect him to be so resolute, as if he was determined to cancel the engagement no matter what others said. He said without thinking: "Brother, you don't have someone else outside, do you? So you want to cancel the engagement."

Zhou Congli looked at his younger brother, Zhou Ye, with a look of suspicion on his face: "If you didn't have someone, why would you suddenly want to break off the engagement? Ruoyao loves you so much, how can you hurt her heart!"

Postponing the wedding actually means canceling the engagement.

Zhou Congli suddenly smiled and said, "Zhou Ye, we have been brothers for more than 20 years, and I just met you today." Then he strode away.

Zhou Ye watched him walk away. Li Ruoyao came over and asked them what they had said.

Zhou Ye turned around and said, "Brother is planning to postpone the wedding."

Li Ruoyao was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly chased after Zhou Congli, but was stopped by Zhou Ye: "He has already told Dad. He will definitely not change his mind. Ruoyao, tell me, why does he suddenly want to cancel the engagement?" This sentence successfully made Li Ruoyao pause, and she stared blankly at the man in front of her.

Zhou Ye touched her face and said, "Do you think he will know about our affairs?" Although he just said that Zhou Congli had someone outside, he knew his elder brother very well after being brothers for so many years.

There is no way he would do something like keeping a mistress.

So, there was only one possibility left, that he discovered what was going on between them.

Li Ruoyao's pupils shrank, and she immediately denied it: "Impossible!" But she thought of what happened on the day she tried on the wedding dress, and slapped Zhou Ye in the face with her backhand, "It's all your fault!"

Zhou Ye turned his face away, and Li Ruoyao was angry: "On the day of trying on the wedding dress, I told you not to leave marks on your neck, but you didn't listen, and your brother saw it! Now he broke off the engagement, what should I do?"

"Heh. Are you worried now?"

Zhou Ye sneered: "Were you unhappy at that time? Besides, in addition to the wedding dress, I also tried out your new bed for him first. Didn't you scream for joy at that time?"

Li Ruoyao couldn't believe it: "Zhou Ye! What did you say?" He actually said that to her!

Zhou Ye sighed and hugged her: "Since it's like this, just marry me. He doesn't want you, but I want you."

"No, I must marry him!" Li Ruoyao's expression suddenly became firm: "My parents will not let him back out of this marriage easily." She pushed him away and hurried home to find her parents.

Zhou Ye didn't pursue her. He didn't know why he was a little disappointed. After making so many efforts, Li Ruoyao only wanted to marry her eldest brother. Was she reluctant to leave her eldest brother? Or was she reluctant to give up the position of heir to the Zhou family?
But he only thought for two seconds, after all, this was the person he had been thinking about for many years, so he walked back to the room.

He needs to find out what went wrong that caused his elder brother to suddenly want to cancel the engagement. If the situation is not favorable to him, he should consider releasing the video in advance.

Zhou Congli returned to the apartment. Assistant Zhang was waiting downstairs with Jin Kaicheng. When he saw him taking out various materials, he said, "President, Jin Kaicheng has decided to tell you, but he has a request that he wants to tell you in person."

Zhou Congli flipped through the information and glanced at the timid Jin Kaicheng: "Speak."

***Because the hotel’s surveillance footage was deleted, it was not easy to verify. It was necessary to investigate all the staff who went to the 28th floor on the 8th one by one. In addition, the surveillance footage outside the hotel required special application to the transportation department. It can be said that Assistant Zhang spent a lot of effort to obtain this information.

He also found the photo of Li Ruoyao and Zhou Ye, as well as the photo of Lin Zhi entering the hotel.

Even though I couldn't see the expression on her face, I could feel that she was expecting and shy, and was getting ready to go on a date with her boyfriend.

His eyes were complicated.

"Mr. Zhou."

Jin Kaicheng spoke carefully: "Boss Zhou, I can tell you who plotted against you, but can you please let me go?"

Zhou Congli looked at him, his dark eyes deep and calm.

Jin Kaicheng swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't want the money either. As long as you agree, I will tell you right away. Anyway, you don't have much to lose from this matter. The girl is pretty——"

Zhou Congli raised his foot and kicked him in the stomach: "This kick is because you are so mean."
