Chapter 49 -49: It Was Her Who Fell in Love at First Sight

Xu Jinzhi had just visited the restroom, her face cold throughout the ordeal, and fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise people might’ve been unable to stop themselves from wondering if they had somehow offended this young lady.

Standing in front of the wash basin, Xu Jinzhi slowly rubbed her hands together while pondering how she might properly “repay” Zhao Lei.

She was the type who never forgot a slight. In her previous life, her dear father had suffered for so many years, and although Zhao Lei had ended up in jail, his imprisonment had nothing to do with her.

Later, when he fell ill and died in prison, she never got the chance to exact her revenge!

But that was an account she had no intention of leaving unsettled!

Although Xu Jinzhi was neither a saint nor a villain, she would never stoop to unlawful or disorderly conduct.

And with her memories from her previous life, it wasn’t difficult to recall Zhao Lei’s unscrupulous deeds. Even if she couldn’t remember the details, she had enough to “repay” him in kind.

Therefore, in this life, she intended to strike first!

Having composed herself, Xu Jinzhi left the restroom and continued to mingle. During the event, she ran into Xie Linchuan.

The news of Xu Jinzhi’s engagement to Xie Yanchuan had already spread, so everyone knew about the Xu Family and the Xie Family becoming in-laws.

Seeing Xu Jinzhi and Xie Linchuan appear at the same time inevitably brought up this topic.

Among the crowd, someone said with a hint of astonishment, “We all thought Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu, two people of equal talents and good looks, might end up together. It’s surprising that Mr. Xu is actually engaged to the second son of the Xie Family.”

Xu Jinzhi lifted her eyes and glanced at the speaker, her smile ambiguous, while Xie Linchuan’s expression wasn’t too pleasant either, as he frowned at the comment.

The people present sensed the subtlety in the atmosphere, and couldn’t help but internally ridicule, just how emotionally unintelligent does one have to be to say something like that?

Just as everyone was wondering how to handle the awkward situation, Xu Jinzhi said cheerily, “What can I do? I’m so hopeless, falling love at first sight with my fiancé.”

“Oh? What do you mean by that? Was it our Mr. Xu who had the first stirrings of affection?” Someone quickly chimed in, trying to dispel the awkwardness.

“I wouldn’t say it was love at first sight exactly. Our families have always been close, and I had seen my fiancé before.”

“But I don’t know when it started; whenever I saw him after that, it felt as if he was aglow, and my gaze would involuntarily follow him.”

Xu Jinzhi said this in all earnestness, with the blissful expression of a woman deep in the throws of sweet love.

The people around didn’t know much about Xie Yanchuan, as it was Xie Linchuan they typically dealt with for Xie Family business matters.

However, hearing Xu Jinzhi speak like this, they responded in kind, “Anyone who can catch the eye of Mr. Xu must be a remarkable person.”

“Yes! Yanchuan is indeed very impressive.” Xu Jinzhi did not deny it, and it was not about saving face, rather she sincerely thought Xie Yanchuan was formidable.

In her previous life, even if she had been unwilling to marry Xie Yanchuan, she had never considered him to be of no consequence.

He was always outstanding in his domain.

“I recall Mr. Xie is a doctor, right?” Someone inquired.

Xu Jinzhi shook her head, “His main focus is in biotechnology. Actually, I don’t quite understand the specifics, but it’s basically researching pharmaceuticals. He’s currently teaching at University A and spends most of his time in the lab.”

“I see, Mr. Xie is truly remarkable.” This was the first time everyone was learning what exactly Xie Yanchuan did, and they were quite surprised.

When you think about it, who doesn’t get sick in this life?

And while it’s said that money can do anything, it’s not all-powerful in the face of birth, aging, illness, and death, so there’s a reason for the saying not to offend doctors.

Though Mr. Xie wasn’t a doctor, he surely had his connections.

What was initially casual business chitchat, thanks to Xu Jinzhi, turned into an introduction for Xie Yanchuan.

Before long, everyone knew it was Xu Jinzhi who had taken the initiative with Professor Xie.

Even without having taken over the Xie Group, the professor was still a force to be reckoned with, a formidable figure indeed.

Xu Jinzhi, observing everyone’s expressions, felt very pleased with herself. And since Yanchuan was truly a good person, how could she let others look down on him?

Xie Linchuan was also listening on the side and seeing Xu Jinzhi praise his brother so lavishly, that demeanor and tone held no trace of reluctance.

This made Xie Linchuan begin to doubt whether she ever intended to seek an alliance with him. Was it only the elders’ idea?

Considering this possibility, Xie Linchuan’s expression grew increasingly complex.

After a busy day of work, Xu Jinzhi returned to her hotel and called Xie Yanchuan. However, when she made the call, Xie Yanchuan failed to pick up in time.

Looking at the call disconnect automatically, Xu Jinzhi suspected that Xie Yanchuan might still be in the lab, so she didn’t call again, instead heading to the bathroom for a shower.

By the time Xu Jinzhi had freshened up, Xie Yanchuan hadn’t responded, so she sent him a WeChat message, then set her phone aside while she reviewed some documents, waiting for a reply.

About fifteen minutes later, Xu Jinzhi’s phone rang. She quickly set down her tablet and grabbed her phone.

Seeing the caller ID, a bright smile spread across Xu Jinzhi’s face as she answered eagerly, “Xie Yanchuan!”

“Sorry, I’ve just left the lab,” Xie Yanchuan spoke in his gentle voice.

“I guessed you must’ve been busy,” Xu Jinzhi was not upset in the least about him not answering the call earlier. She continued, “There’s something I want to tell you.”

“Mhmm, go ahead,” Xie Yanchuan replied attentively.

“When I get back, I’d like to introduce you to two people who are very interested in your lab,” Xu Jinzhi said with a touch of excitement.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t provide the funding herself; it was the idea that if others also chose to invest in Xie Yanchuan’s lab, it would validate his capabilities.

Xu Jinzhi thought that was something to be happy about.

On the phone, Xie Yanchuan paused, then seemed slightly at a loss, unsure of what to say.

He’d never received any favors from his own family; after all, the Xie Family was not involved in the medical industry, and he didn’t see a problem with that.

But Xu Jinzhi was willing to go out of her way to introduce him to connections, even though the Xu Family wasn’t involved in medical business either, and she didn’t know such people…
