Chapter 2274: Chapter 2274: Custom-Made Lover (9)

"Really?"

"I saw it with my own eyes during work, so it can’t be fake. You didn’t see that girl, she’s really super pretty, like a celebrity!"

"And the boss even stopped to wait for her. Our boss is such a stubborn person, when does he ever accommodate anyone?"

A few employees were gossiping in the tea room, while a girl listened silently before secretly sending someone a text once everyone left.

Fong Yan was mostly out of the office, and Chuzheng was ordered not to leave the office, and to communicate directly with Assistant Yu if needed.

Chuzheng was too lazy to go out and stayed in the office to check information about Katys Hotel.

It’s a technology-themed hotel, very costly.

Wanting to buy such a hotel is not an easy task.

Chuzheng went through all the information and sent an intent email to the other party, but there was no reply, possibly unnoticed.

Time flew by, and Chuzheng didn’t see Fong Yan until noon. It was almost time to leave work in the afternoon when the CEO returned to the office.

He stood at the door, his expression cold: "Come home with me."

At first, Chuzheng thought the "home" meant the villa, but soon realized the direction was wrong.

"Where to?"

"My parent’s place."

Chuzheng was surprised: "Meeting the parents so soon?"

Fong Yan: "..."

Fong Yan was silent for a few seconds: "What did you do to Shu Zhixi?"

Chuzheng innocently asked back: "What could I do to her?" That dog went and complained!

"She said you threw her into the artificial lake, is that true?"

"No."

Fong Yan glanced at her, saying nothing more.

Fong Yan’s parent’s residence is across half the city from Fong Yan’s place, much more luxurious compared to Fong Yan’s villa.

"The young master is back."

The servant greeted outside the villa, and she was not a robot, but a real person.

Although robots are more efficient and smarter than humans, some people prefer to hire a person.

Apparently, Fong Yan’s parents are among them.

"Once inside, don’t speak if I don’t ask you to."

"Why?"

Fong Yan whispered: "I don’t want anyone to know you’re different."

That statement actually isn’t problematic.

Just don’t let anyone know Chuzheng is different from other robots and avoid trouble from discovering she has autonomous consciousness.

But falling on Chuzheng’s ears, it was slightly suggestive.

Chuzheng was silent, neither nodding nor shaking her head.

"Did you hear me?"

"Okay." For the Good Person Card’s request... reluctantly agreeing.

-

Fong Yan took Chuzheng into the hall.

The hall was crowded, Fong Yan’s parents were easy to recognize as they both looked quite young.

On the other side were Shu Zhixi and her parents, with Shu Zhixi looking pale and delicate from shock.

"Little Yan is back." Mother Feng waved as soon as she saw her son return: "Come quickly."

Father Fong had a stern face, saying nothing.

"Dad, Mom." Fong Yan showed no emotion as if completing a task: "Uncle Shu, Aunt Shu."

The Shu couple’s faces weren’t good, ignoring Fong Yan, their gaze fell on Chuzheng, with Aunt Shu’s tone sharp: "Is this your robot?"

Fong Yan was silent.

"Little Yan, they’re asking you?" Mother Fong urged.

Fong Yan took a slight breathe: "Yes."

"I heard she’s a partner robot?" Father Shu asked with a stern face.

"Yes."

"You..." Father Shu probably didn’t expect Fong Yan to admit it so plainly, his face looking worse.

His daughter liked Fong Yan, but he preferred a partner robot instead of getting engaged with his daughter.

What’s this?

An insult?

Aunt Shu couldn’t help but voice: "You’re actually messing around with a robot, despite Zhixi liking you so much, are you being fair to Zhixi?"

"Aunt Shu, I have no relationship with Miss Shu. What I do has nothing to do with Miss Shu, let alone talk about fairness?"

"You you you..."

"Fong Yan!" Mother Fong called out in a low voice and then turned to comfort Aunt Shu: "Don’t be mad. This brat has a terrible temper. This robot should be a test model from Fong Wuye, knowing him, he surely didn’t do anything."

"Listen to what he’s saying!" Aunt Shu was furious, her blood pressure rising: "If our Zhixi really married over, wouldn’t she be distressed?"

"How could that happen?" Mother Feng promised: "If he dares to bully Zhixi, watch me break his legs!"

Fong Yan: "I’ve said, I won’t get engaged to Miss Shu."

"Fong Yan!"

This time it was Father Fong, who had not spoken, shouted angrily.

"Alright, let’s not discuss this now." Father Shu also spoke: "Let’s talk about what happened yesterday."

The victim said so, and Father Fong suppressed his anger: "Your robot pushed Zhixi into the artificial lake, nearly causing her death. What do you plan to do about this?"

This was today’s main topic.

"She didn’t do it."

"What do you mean? Still trying to cover for her?" Aunt Shu, already angry, couldn’t hold back after hearing Fong Yan.

"Fong Yan, do you mean I’m framing her?" Shu Zhixi choked back sobs: "I experienced it myself, how could it not be her."

Fong Yan: "Why would she do that?"

Shu Zhixi choked.

Chuzheng threw her into the artificial lake because she had someone throw Chuzheng into the river first.

Of course, she couldn’t let Fong Yan know this.

Shu Zhixi: "She... she possibly had program errors and attacked humans. It’s not unheard of."

"That’s just your one-sided statement." Fong Yan didn’t accept it: "I haven’t found her to have any anomalies. Can Miss Shu provide more convincing evidence?"

Shu Zhixi’s eyes were brimming with tears, ready to fall, choked up: "Fong Yan, don’t you trust me?"

Fong Yan: "I trust evidence."

Shu Zhixi’s tears dropped furiously.

Chuzheng turned to look at the man standing straight, suddenly reaching out to hook his fingers hanging by his side.

The people in the living room were focused on the crying bad Shu Zhixi and didn’t notice Chuzheng’s little action.

Fong Yan’s body slightly stiffened, frowning as he withdrew his hand, warning in a low voice: "Don’t mess around."

Chuzheng turned her head elsewhere, as if the small action wasn’t hers.

Fong Yan slightly clenched his fist, the fingertips pressed into his palm as if Chuzheng’s touch lingered.

Fong Yan clenched and then relaxed, forbidding himself from thinking otherwise.

"Miss Shu said, you were pushed into the artificial lake. The villa area is full of surveillance, so if it was true, it would surely be captured. I had them bring over the surveillance."

Fong Yan had the surveillance brought in.

From Shu Zhixi’s appearance to her exit from Fong Yan’s villa range, there was no anomaly.

Shu Zhixi walked towards the artificial lake herself, and from the surveillance, she accidentally fell into the artificial lake on her own.
