Hearing this, Jin Di's eyes flashed as he sized her up.
"There's not enough time, so let's settle it as soon as possible. I don't like to delay work because of personal matters. Miss Zuo? Let's talk in the car."
Jin Di's expression changed faster than flipping a book. Before she could react, the car door in front of her opened.
She stared at the leather seat inside, hesitating. Should she sit next to him?
Jin Di quickly grew impatient. "Get in the car!"
She sat in the car as fast as she could.
After that, Jin Di did not speak again. This time, the person who spoke was Danil from the front seat.
He handed a contract to her and smiled.
"Miss Zuo, first of all, I want to tell you that this is a win-win deal. You are really lucky to be given such an offer."
She picked up the contract, her face darkening as she read.
A relationship agreement between a man and a woman.
What was this?
"My boss intends to officially start a relationship with you for one year. After that, according to our respective feelings, we can extend or terminate the agreement at our discretion. The content of the agreement is as follows. If you sign it, you will be Mr. Jin's legal girlfriend from now on and will be protected by the agreement. Of course, you can also ask Mr. Jin to pay for your mother's medical expenses within the agreement, or you can move out of the Zuo family according to your own wishes."
He would pay her?
What kind of relationship was this?
She stiffened and didn't say a word.
Danil added with a smile, "Conisering Miss Zuo's current reputation in Binhai City...well, this opportunity really is the only option she has if she wants to recover her former status."
This guy was a fox. A golden-furred fox, but a fox nonetheless!
He spoke in a tone of utmost kindness, and yet he was using her weaknesses against her to coerce her into accepting.
And yet...
"I'm sorry, I refuse."
She may have done many stupid things in the past, offending many and even driving Ziyi to completely hate her.
And yet...
This did not mean that she would ignore her gut feeling now.
"Yes, I do want my flower shop back. But I don't want to get it in this way."
Danil looked stunned, and Jin Di's eyes darkened. Still, he smiled.
Seeing the boss's cold smile, Danil broke out into a cold sweat, fully aware of the rage this expression was hiding. Still, he tried his best to persuade Zuo Aiai.
"Miss Zuo, I feel that this agreement would be highly beneficial to you. It's not a bad thing. Why don't you take a closer look at the agreement before making a decision?"
She closed the agreement with a smack and placed it on the seat beside her. Then, she turned around and got out of the car.
Before she left, she did not forget to say, "Sorry to disturb Mr. Jin's precious time. Just pretend that I didn't say anything."
And then she got out of the car without looking back.
Danil could feel the frigid atmosphere fill the car immediately after Zuo Aiai left.
He was sweating profusely and did not know what to do.
From behind him, Jin Di only said,
"Drive."
Danil was in a trance when Jin Di reminded him in an indifferent tone,
"Isn't it almost five o'clock?"
'Does that mean I'm responsible for the delay?' he thought frantically to himself.
Danil was so frightened that he immediately asked the driver to start the car.
How could Zuo Aiai have refused him?
---
In a rage she had refused the agreement of Jin Di, and yet Zuo Aiai, as she walked away, couldn't help but let out a sigh. Already she regretted her decision.
