The two of them entered the adjoining study.

After closing the door, Ji Wei got straight to the point and asked directly, "Boss Zi, whatever you want to say, you can say it now."

Zimei stood by the window with her back to her, her silhouette bathed in the backlight, exuding a seductive allure like a goddess not of this world.

Lowering her eyes slightly, she focused on the cigarette burning between her fingertips. After a brief moment of contemtion, she turned to look at Ji Wei and said, "Miss Ji, I need you to tell that Summer girl, Ye Cheng is mine. She neither deserves nor has the capability to fight me for him. Understand?"

Ji Wei was momentarily stunned.

So this was the reason Zimei had arranged this meeting.

Zimei must have seen the morning’s news coverage. Even though she had been the person in the report, for someone as smart as Zimei, it wouldn’t have been hard to deduce that her appearance at Ye Cheng’s apartment was because of Xia Duoduo.

After a moment of surprise, Ji Wei pressed her lips into a smile. "That’s a message you should tell Duoduo yourself. Matters of the heart are beyond my control."

"Miss Ji, considering the bond we share from our past hardships, I’m giving you a reminder. If your friend insists on stubbornly holding on, I won’t hesitate to resort to extreme measures."

Zimei’s words carried a threatening undertone.

"With Boss Zi’s current status and position, do you mean to say you can’t win back Mr. Ye’s heart?" Ji Wei countered, entirely unfazed by her threats and continued smiling. "Or perhaps Boss Zi is justcking confidence, afraid she’s no match for Duoduo?"

Ji Wei hit the nail on the head.

The cigarette in Zimei’s hand trembled, and a piece of ash suddenly fell to the ground.

Her hauntingly beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Outside the window, the sun shone warmly and brightly, casting light over her enchanting figure, yet it failed to dispel the chill stagnating in her heart.

She was the leading female tycoon in Rongcheng, owning luxurious clubs worth billions and possessing supply chains spanning both the legal and illegal spheres. She had achieved more sess than most women, with the additional backing of a powerful godfather as her support.

In every sense, Zimei seemed to have everything—except love.

She didn’t even have the confidence to trade everything she had to rekindle Ye Cheng’s affection for her. What was the use of all that money?

In fact, she had been secretly assigning people to keep watch near Ye Cheng’s apartment. Upon learning that the actress frequently entered Ye Cheng’s apartment, sometimes even staying overnight, she had been consumed by jealousy.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t even get through Ye Cheng’s front door, while that simple-minded, even somewhat foolish actress managed to easily stay over at his ce. Justst night, that silly woman almost burned Ye Cheng’s house down!

If not for her men quietly calling the fire department, Ye Cheng’s apartment might have been reduced to ashes by now.

What on earth did that idiotic woman have to offer?

Zimei couldn’t figure it out, and the frustration was eating away at her. That was why she impulsively called Ji Wei today and arranged for this meeting.

Suppressing her inner irritation, she took a leisurely drag on her cigarette, letting the thin smoke slip from her strikingly beautiful lips.

Zimei turned around and walked toward Ji Wei, her lips curving into a bewitching, wless smile. "Why should I fear a little girl? It’s just that seeing the man I like being entangled by another woman naturally makes me a bit wary, a bit... annoyed."

When she said "annoyed," her tone sharpened slightly.

Ji Wei met her somewhat domineering gaze with an easy smile and replied, "In that case, Boss Zi, why don’t youpete with Duoduo fairly? You have your strengths, and Duoduo has hers. Ultimately, it’s up to Mr. Ye to decide. None of us can control that."

She paused for a moment before adding, "But if Boss Zi resorts to some underhanded tactics, you’ll only end up earning Mr. Ye’s disdain. Men despise scheming women working in the shadows the most. Surely Boss Zi knows this, doesn’t she?"
