Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 159 Husband for You to Lean On (1)

Yan Zuozuo had originally planned to finish her work today, but now she suddenly lost the mood. She left the company and walked blankly down the street. People passed by, looking happy, but she felt very lonely.

Whether there was a problem with her design or Zheng Yuyan was deliberately causing trouble, she wasn't sure for a moment.

After taking a taxi, she returned to the villa, sat down on the sofa, and let out a long sigh.

The phone rang. It was Cai Keren calling. "Zuo Zuo, I saw you storm off. Did your tigress upset you again?"

"No, I came out to find inspiration," Yan Zuozuo said wearily.

"Don't lie to me. I know her temper like a tigress. Don't take it to heart, just ignore her," Cai Keren said in a low voice.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "I'm fine, you go back to work."

She hung up the phone and slumped onto the sofa, her face downcast. She took out her phone and looked at the photos again. A heartwarming picture of Chi Moqing and the baby touched her deeply. She reached out and touched the baby's face. With them standing behind her, she felt that nothing else mattered.

Suddenly, she longed to see them. She abruptly stood up, intending to go to the compound to see the baby. Suddenly, her phone rang again. This time it was Fu Zixin calling; she seemed drunk and was sobbing on the phone.

She was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Zixin, what's wrong? Don't cry, talk to me."

"Zuo Zuo, please come and keep me company? I'm in so much pain, I don't want to live anymore."

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of worry. Had Su Kang bullied her?

She disregarded the design drawings and hailed a taxi to find Fu Zixin. Fu Zixin had already moved out of Su Kang's house and rented a small apartment outside. She had visited a few times before, and the environment was quite nice.

Upon entering, a strong smell of alcohol filled the air. Fu Zixin was sprawled on the floor, chugging from a bottle, while the nanny stood helplessly by, holding the child.

She sighed, told the nanny to take the child back to the room, and sat down next to Fu Zixin.

Fu Zixin glanced at her, chuckled, patted her shoulder forcefully, and said drunkenly, "Don't ask me what happened, don't try to comfort me, if you're a sister, drink with me, we won't leave until we're drunk!" As she spoke, she shoved another bottle of red wine into Yan Zuozuo's hand, "Drink!"

Yan Zuozuo was already feeling depressed, and seeing Fu Zixin like this, she tilted her head back and took a big gulp.

Seeing her like this, Fu Zixin giggled and pointed at her, saying, "I, Fu Zixin, have nothing in this life. No parents, no man, only you, Yan Zuozuo, as my close friend. That's straightforward. Cheers!"

Yan Zuozuo narrowed her eyes and clinked glasses with her forcefully, "Cheers!"

The two women didn't eat anything; they just drank straight from the bottle, one sip after another, and soon the bottle of red wine was empty.

"Not enough? I'll go get some more wine." Fu Zixin staggered to get the wine, but Yan Zuozuo pulled her arm to her feet. She was already dizzy and stammered, "I'll go with you, let's drink to our hearts' content!"

"Okay, let's drink to our hearts' content!" The two women staggered along, completely disoriented. Finally, they found the kitchen, each carrying two bottles of wine, and came out arm in arm, grinning foolishly.

After a while, Fu Zixin suddenly seemed to understand something, and with a silly grin, she tapped Yan Zuozuo's nose and asked, "You're drinking with me, so you're not going to work tomorrow?"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, waving her hands like a drunk child, "No, no, who's going to work? That damn woman, I hate her!"

"Yes, that damn woman, we all hate her!" Fu Zixin hugged Yan Zuozuo tightly and slapped her back hard. "Yan Zuozuo, you're sleeping with me tonight. If that damn woman dares to come, I'll chop her up with a knife!"

"Okay, kill her!" Yan Zuozuo staggered forward, slipped, and fell onto the sofa, quickly falling asleep.

Fu Zixin pounced on her, straddling her and tugging at her face. "Hey, Yan Zuozuo, Yan Zuozuo... Hahaha, you said you'd drink with me, but you just fell asleep... Hey, are you still going to drink or not... Yan Zuozuo..." She called out, and then she fell asleep too. The two women clung to each other, fast asleep.

Chi Moqing was very busy dealing with company matters. By the time he finished, it was already past midnight. He wanted to call Yan Zuozuo, but was afraid of waking her, so he gave up. He was unaware that Yan Zuozuo hadn't returned home all night.

The next morning, Yan Zuozuo was woken up by a phone call. She had a headache, picked up the phone, and before she could say anything, she heard Zheng Yuyan's voice on the other end, "Yan Zuozuo, if you can't submit the design drawings today, you'll have to give a self-criticism in front of the whole company!"

Before Yan Zuozuo could react, Zheng Yuyan hung up the phone. She stood there stunned for a long time before remembering the design drawings. Clutching her throbbing head, she staggered towards the bathroom.

Suddenly, she was startled; this wasn't her home!

Fu Zixin woke up too, went over and patted her shoulder, and saw that she looked unwell, so she asked worriedly, "Zuo Zuo, what's wrong?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head blankly: "I'm going to take a shower, can I borrow some clothes?"

Fu Zixin was a little worried, so she went out and secretly called Chi Moqing before giving her the clothes.

An hour later, Yan Zuozuo arrived at the company. She arrived just in time for a company meeting. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw everyone staring at her.

Zheng Yuyan, with an air of anticipation, cut to the chase, saying, "Yan Zuozuo, because you alone delayed the company's launch of the new season's clothing, now you should give everyone a apology."

Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded. Putting aside the design draft, Zheng Yuyan had clearly told her that the final deadline for the design draft was the day after tomorrow. The deadline had not yet arrived, so how could it be delayed?

Zheng Yuyan knew exactly what she was thinking and immediately said, "What are you still standing there for? Write a self-criticism!"

Yan Zuozuo met her smug gaze and immediately understood what was going on.

She's been framed!

"Director, I've already submitted my design drawings. It's you who didn't show them to Master Fisher, and now you're saying I'm holding you back. That's not fair," she said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Is your design even usable? Even if you gave it to Master Fisher, he wouldn't approve it! I asked you to bring out the new drafts that were due today." Zheng Yuyan reached out to her for the design drafts.

"The director rejected it without even looking at it, and it was the day before yesterday. It's impossible for me to submit twenty design drawings in two days." Yan Zuozuo said confidently, glancing at everyone present.

Zheng Yuyan sneered, "Yan Zuozuo, you're shirking responsibility!" She then glanced at the people present at the meeting, "What do you all think should be done about Yan Zuozuo's situation?"

The others didn't quite understand, but one thing they were clear about was that Zheng Yuyan harbored ill intentions because of Fisher's assistant, and it wasn't impossible for her to make things difficult for Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo stood in front of everyone, looking at them stubbornly, "Besides, the design director said the design drawings would be submitted the day after tomorrow. The deadline hasn't arrived yet, so how am I a hindrance?"

"Yan Zuozuo, are you framing me?" Zheng Yuyan shouted.

Yan Zuozuo looked at her indifferently: "Doesn't the director know whether it's a frame-up or not?"

"You!" Zheng Yuyan gritted her teeth in anger. "Apologize to me right now!"

"Everything I said is true. You want me to apologize? No way!"

"Fine, very well, Yan Zuozuo, you think you can act recklessly just because you're the president's wife? If you don't give me an explanation for this, I won't let it go!" Zheng Yuyan roared sharply.

Yan Zuozuo's head was still spinning from the hangover, and Zheng Yuyan's loud voice only made her head throb. She lost her balance and was about to faint.

"Zuo Zuo!" Suddenly, the conference room door opened, and Chi Moqing's tall figure walked in, quickly embracing Yan Zuo Zuo with a concerned expression.

Upon smelling the familiar scent, Yan Zuozuo's previously agitated emotions gradually calmed down. She looked up at him, meeting his deep eyes, "Husband..."

Chi Moqing hugged her tightly, frowned, and scanned everyone present with a livid expression before finally fixing his gaze on Zheng Yuyan's face. "Director Zheng, what exactly is going on?"

Overwhelmed by Chi Moqing's powerful aura, Zheng Yuyan, who had been so confident, now felt guilty. She didn't dare to look Chi Moqing in the eye, but still tried to remain calm by biting her lip and saying, "Because of Yan Zuozuo alone, the launch of the company's new season's clothing has been seriously delayed. Isn't it reasonable for her to make a self-criticism?"

"Is that so?" Chi Moqing sneered, then called out towards the door, "Come in!"

Then, a part-time female employee timidly walked in. Chi Moqing said calmly, "Tell me what you heard!"

The part-time student shrank back slightly, then said, "When I passed by Assistant Yan's office that day, I heard Director Zheng say that the deadline for submitting the manuscript was set for August 31st..."

Zheng Yuyan's expression changed instantly. Faced with Chi Moqing's imposing aura, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word. This man had an innate air of authority, as if all lies could be exposed in his eyes.

Even though she had been by Fisher's side for several years and had seen all sorts of people, and while she might be able to handle others with ease, she felt completely helpless when facing Chi Moqing.

After a while, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "How do I know she's not lying? You're a high and mighty CEO, of course she'd obey you. Her side of the story alone isn't convincing!"

Chi Moqing looked at her indifferently without saying a word. Then, Fisher walked in from outside the conference room.

Zheng Yuyan's face changed drastically. How could things have turned out like this? Wasn't Fisher's flight the day after tomorrow? She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Oh my god, Fisher had caught her red-handed. Wasn't the image she had built up over the years ruined in an instant?

"Yuyan, Zuo Zuo's design drawings were given to you a long time ago, why didn't you give them to me?" If he hadn't felt something was strange and returned early, and hadn't received a call from Chi Moqing in the morning, he wouldn't have known that this had happened.

"Master... that's not how it is. There are problems with her design, so... that's why I asked her to go back and redesign it..." Zheng Yuyan explained anxiously.

Fisher ignored her, slammed Yan Zuozuo's design drawings on the table, and looked at her sharply, "Tell me, what's wrong with these designs?"

Zheng Yuyan pursed her lips, unable to utter a single word, because she hadn't even looked at these design drawings.

"Speechless now?" Fisher stared at her coldly, as if trying to see right through her. Out of consideration for her years of service, he had always turned a blind eye to her behavior, but he never expected her to be so utterly lawless behind his back!

Seeing Zheng Yuyan's expression, Chi Moqing's face turned icy cold, making everyone present tremble with fear.

“Since I gave Mr. Fisher half of the shares, it means I trust Mr. Fisher’s character. Now that things are clear, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m taking my wife home now.”

Fisher didn't speak, but stared intently at Zheng Yuyan. Zheng Yuyan felt a surge of panic, fearing Fisher's punishment.
