Can have bad intentions

Chapter 239 My Stepmother

Cao Ze sat on the chair, nodded slightly, and his eyes gently swept across the face of Zuo Na, the woman who looked very similar to Zhao Jiangyue.

However, their temperaments are very different. Zhao Jiangyue is like a queen, with an inviolable dignity; Zuo Na, however, is like a gentle breeze, gentle and elegant, like a sister of a jade family, wearing a white shirt and black pants, less majestic, more friendly, and more worldly. The meticulous Cao Ze noticed a slight difference - there seemed to be tears in the corners of Zuo Na's eyes.

Cao Ze knew that she might have known about her best friend's destruction of her family. But he saw that Zuo Na was unwilling to talk about it, so he didn't ask any questions. He originally thought that Zuo Na wanted to talk about the affairs of the law firm, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"Mr. Cao, here is the menu, please take a look at what you want to choose." After some polite exchanges, the two quickly ordered a few spicy special dishes.

Zuo Na served Cao Ze a cup of tea, attentive and considerate. "Thank you. How is Rong Ke Law Firm doing now?"

Cao Ze smiled and replied. Hearing this, Zuo Na opened her red lips and said, "Not bad. The firm is very busy now, all thanks to your last visit. Lawyer Liao has returned, and business is booming. We have also recruited many intern lawyers from prestigious schools."

She briefly introduced the recent situation of Rongke Law Firm, and it was obvious that she was full of confidence in its future development. "By the way, Mr. Cao, the home nanny Dong Jiaorao where you are currently staying is my relative, my aunt's cousin."

Zuo Na suddenly mentioned this. Cao Ze had never met Dong Jiaorao at home. It was Nan Chenxing who invited her. He had not returned home in the past two days. Of course, he did not know that Dong Jiaorao had bad intentions because of Nan Chenxing's unintentional words! At this point, Cao Ze's WeChat rang at the right time. It was Wang Shengnan who sent an invitation: "Xiao Ze, when are you free to come to my house for dinner? Auntie will prepare your favorite dishes for you!"

Wang Shengnan's words were concise, and Cao Ze smiled helplessly. Auntie is really passionate! After a little thought, Cao Ze replied: "Wait until the third mock exam is over, in a few days." Recently, Nan Chenxing, Xu Hongdou, and Li Na are busy planning to go to Shudu, so although Cao Ze wanted to try Wang Shengnan's delicacies, he had to put it aside.

Wang Shengnan immediately responded with a smile and an expectant expression, and Cao Ze put away his phone. At this moment, the dishes were being served one by one. "Mr. Cao, can we have a drink together?"

Zuo Na was a little hesitant, but still invited him. Cao Ze smiled and agreed, curious about her intention behind this move. So he filled her glass with wine: "Mr. Cao, I toast you!" She raised her glass and toasted him with a smile.

After two glasses of wine, Cao Ze still felt refreshed. Zuo Na's face was slightly red, and her drunken state showed her mature charm. "Mr. Cao, you are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen or even heard of, and you are also the smartest person. Now there is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask you, the smartest one..."

The aroma of wine and her words made Cao Ze curious about what she wanted to ask. "Sister Zuo Na, just tell me what you want to say!" He smiled and took the wine glass and drank it all. He didn't want her to continue drinking. After all, it would be troublesome to send her home drunk.

Seeing this, Zuo Na said directly: "Since I was young, my parents' relationship broke down. My father fell in love with someone else just because he was successful in his career. My mother knew it clearly, but she still stayed at home and never left. This complicated family made me tired of my father.

Sympathize with my mother. During school, I was often laughed at by my classmates and dared not make friends for fear of being betrayed. When I was in college, Cai Xiaolei wanted to be my friend, and I trusted her very much, even letting her into my home, and later she went to work in my father's company..."

After telling her story, Zuo Na raised her head and drank. Cao Ze did not stop her, she needed to vent her grievances. "She has an ordinary background, and it is not easy to make a living in the Magic City. Fortunately, she has her father's protection. But she never thought,

My father actually took Xiaolei into his arms. Obviously, she was the mastermind, greedy and vain, and had planned it all along, maybe just to get close to me from the beginning! Now, this only friend actually wants to become my stepmother, and is pregnant with my father's child, how ironic!"

She stood up, holding up her glass. At that moment, when she knew that her former friend was pregnant with her father's child and was trying to replace her mother, Zuo Na's world completely collapsed. Her only friend eventually became a betrayer.

"Mr. Cao! I want to ask you - if you encounter a similar dilemma, what choice will you make?" Zuo Na leaned over, her eyes blurry with drunkenness, and put her arms around Cao Ze's neck, whispering in his ear.

Cao Ze knew the tragedy that would follow. Since they had met, it was fate, and this woman was also his employee. So, he helped Zuo Na sit beside him and said, "Inside, you must be determined to let go of your mother!"

Zuo Na instantly focused on his words, "Let go?" After saying these three words, she looked up at Cao Ze, puzzled. "Let go represents a philosophy of life, which means saying goodbye to things that are no longer needed, unsuitable, or outdated, and cutting off the attachment. Only by letting go can we have a simple and refreshing life."

Seeing Zuo Na's eager eyes, Cao Ze smiled and explained the concept of the future. "Is that so? It seems very philosophical!"

Zuo Na thought about Cao Ze's words, her lips curled slightly, "What about the outside world?" Then she took the opportunity to ask.
