Chapter 59
Zhang Yucui had already turned pale with fright. "Li Zhen, please give me one more chance. I won't provoke Xiao Tai anymore, please believe me!"
"No, I want you to keep provoking him," Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and said.
Zhang Yucui was stunned.
Li Zhen: "Because the two of you are so perfect for each other. The Matchmaker has done a great job categorizing trash! I wish you a hundred years of affection and mutual torment until you grow old."
Li Zhen's words pierced Zhang Yucui's heart.
She slumped to the ground, looking up at Li Zhen, hating her bitterly.
Who was Li Zhen to interfere in her business!
Li Zhen looked coldly down at Xiao Tai lying on the ground and reminded him in a cold voice, "When he wakes up, tell him that Qiao Yi has decided to divorce him, but she will keep everything in the family and he will leave with nothing."
With that, Li Zhen turned and left.
Outside Qiao Yi’s apartment, Fei Zhao parked the car and Li Zhen and Zhang Xiya went upstairs.
After this back and forth trip, it was very late, and Tuan Tuan had already gone to bed.
In the living room, Meng Yuanjie immediately got up and opened the door when he heard the knock.
Seeing them at the door, Qiao Yi asked in a trembling voice, "Did you get the evidence?"
She was so afraid.
Afraid there was no evidence. Afraid she wouldn't get custody of Tuan Tuan in the divorce.
Li Zhen nodded, "Got it."
An immense weight lifted from Qiao Yi's heart and she burst into loud sobs.
Today, from discovering that text message this morning, to the fight and decision to divorce, to being locked up.
The events of one day had effortlessly rewritten her life.
Thank goodness, thank goodness there was evidence and she could stay with Tuan Tuan.
Having Tuan Tuan was enough!
Qiao Yi looked up, wiped away her tears, "Let me see the video."
"Forget it, you shouldn't watch it," Zhang Xiya bit her lip, hesitating to continue. "The woman is Zhang Yucui. What they did was too disgusting. Just keep it, don't watch."
Zhang Xiya was afraid that if Qiao Yi watched, she might never be able to forget it.
Watching her husband fool around with a colleague she saw every day would be too cruel for Qiao Yi.
"Zhang Yucui?" Qiao Yi murmured.
So it was her.
Qiao Yi was very surprised, but it didn't matter anymore. Now that she knew what Xiao Tai was really like, she had no feelings about whoever the mistress was.
-
Back home with Lu Yanming, after her shower Li Zhen sat on the sofa staring expectantly at him.
She had been busy all day and just wanted to go straight to bed.
But Qiao Yi’s situation had woken her up again, men really couldn't be relied on.
What could you rely on?
Of course, shares!
Lu Yanming was busy with his side gig again. Li Zhen sat quietly beside him, her eyes full of anticipation.
The little umbrella was ready, how much longer would he be busy?
Li Zhen's intense gaze eventually made Lu Yanming glance her way. "What's up?"
"Does President Lu want to flip the card tonight?" Li Zhen's eyes lifted alluringly, shining bright and obedient under the lamplight.
Li Zhen’s meaning was blunt yet tantalizing.
"Let me see the card first to check if it’s to my liking, then we'll discuss other things." Lu Yanming removed his glasses with a smile.
"It's just this one card, you’ll definitely like it." Li Zhen held out her right hand, palm down.
Lu Yanming got up, his tall shadow enveloping her.
"Let me see..." He grasped her soft little hand and turned it over. "It's her again?"
"President Lu, variety is the spice of life..."
Before Li Zhen could finish speaking, Lu Yanming had already leaned down to sweep her up in his arms, chuckling, "How nice, it's her again!"
The sudden weightlessness made Li Zhen reflexively put her arms around Lu Yanming's neck.
Li Zhen thought to herself, the internet was right after all. A little adult flirting and the man loses self-control immediately.
Once in the bedroom, Li Zhen was placed on the bed.
She immediately sat up and grabbed the little umbrella from the bedside table. Not waiting for Lu Yanming to say anything, she had already ripped open the packaging with a "swish".
Enduring discomfort and embarrassment, she pinched it out and handed it to Lu Yanming. "President Lu..."
Lu Yanming didn't take it. His clear eyes silently gazed at her. "I don't know how, you do it for me."
Li Zhen: ...
Alright!
Her tool man was playing hard to get again.
What else could she do but indulge him?
Jincheng has a rainy summer.
Li Zhen slowly helped him out, and soon the sound of rain came from outside the window.
Two hours later, Li Zhen felt her waist would break.
Her hair was matted with sweat on her forehead and behind her ears. Her whole body felt as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Her voice was hoarse and changed in tone, weak and breathless.
"President Lu, it's been raining for two hours now..."
"So?" Lu Yanming looked down at her.
The line of the man's jaw was sharp, and beads of scalding sweat flowed down his cheek to his jawline.
Then with a "drip" it slid straight down and landed on Li Zhen's fair and delicate back.
The heat made her shiver.
The next morning, Fei Zhao parked the car at the door.
Li Zhen followed Lu Yanming into the back seat and sat expressionlessly.
Usually when Li Zhen was there, the car was quite lively.
But today Li Zhen and the young master were very quiet.
Fei Zhao looked at them puzzledly in the rearview mirror.
What was going on?
Weren’t they fine yesterday?
Single Fei Zhao couldn’t help but lament, love is so complicated!
"Young Master, on the table is the breakfast I bought for you. Why don't you and Miss Li eat it while it's hot?" Fei Zhao wanted to break the silence.
There was a retractable small table in front of the back seat.
On it were several delicate breakfast items.
Lu Yanming only took a glass of milk and held it out to Li Zhen. "If you don't want to eat, at least drink some milk."
Li Zhen turned her head away, ignoring him.
Lu Yanming took the milk back and leaned in close to her, his voice lowered. "Last night you were screaming ‘hubby you're so good’, and this morning you're giving me the cold shoulder?"
Fei Zhao: ...What is the young master saying, why not out loud? Is it because I don't have a membership so I can't hear?
Li Zhen: ...
First thing in the morning! Why did he have to bring that up!
She was already furious, how dare he mention it!
Last night she had gently reminded Lu Yanming that he had gone on too long. But he had pretended not to understand and asked her "So?"
She had wanted to get out of bed right then.
But she had long lost her strength from his torment, let alone getting out of bed, even turning over was difficult.
So she suddenly remembered those online tutorials, where one sentence could make your husband finish his battle.
She had hoarsely cried out "hubby you're so good", and the result was...
He got excited.
She was done for.
Flipped over again and again like a pancake late into the night.
Yesterday she had been tired all day already, and didn't get proper rest at night. Waking up early with panda eyes! Of course she'd be in a bad mood!
At the office, Li Zhen first called Qiao Yi.
She found out Xiao Tai was still in the hospital, and they had arranged to handle the divorce that afternoon.
Previously Tuan Tuan had been dropped off and picked up by Xiao Tai’s mother. Now Qiao Yi needed to find a nanny she could trust to look after Tuan Tuan. And there were many other things to arrange after the divorce, so she took three days off.
Li Zhen heaved a long sigh of relief, as long as things went smoothly for Qiao Yi.
In the large conference room, Macrosea's senior management was having their weekly Tuesday meeting.
Near the end of the meeting, Wang Peng cleared his throat and said, "Let me remind everyone about something."
"Recently, some departments have had issues of lax regulations and lack of employee solidarity, bringing lots of negative impact to the company!"
"From filming accidents to employees fighting..."
Everyone glanced in unison at Ren Zongshun.
Who they were talking about was obvious.
Ren Zongshun kept his head down, not daring to say a word, obediently taking the criticism.
"If this keeps up, won't the company become a big mess? How can this be allowed!" Wang Peng got more agitated the more he spoke.
He had been much busier this period than his entire previous year.
He just wanted to relax and enjoy his retirement, not spin around the small advertising department like a top.
Who understood the sorrows of an old man!
