Chapter 22 Zhou Wu is the one who seems like the mistress of the house.

Shen Shuang never expected that Zhu Jin would still have ulterior motives at this point, insisting on dragging out the divorce.

At home, she watched as Zhu Jin and Zhou Wu got along like a married couple, their relationship harmonious and warm.

For Zhu Jin, this was the married life he longed for.

If he wasn't eager to step into this life he longed for, there's only one possibility.

Shen Shuangmiao's eyes flickered: "Zhou Wugang just finished his vigil and automatically dissolved his marriage with Zhu Jin's elder brother. If Zhu Jin divorces me and immediately gets together with her, there might be a lot of gossip. Perhaps that's why Zhu Jin wants to delay."

Fu Xuan, however, felt that it wasn't because of this.

Since Shen Shuangmiao had already said so, he could only nod and agree: "Maybe, but hopefully he won't drag it out for too long, it won't do you any good."

Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips and looked out the window.

Who would have thought that now it's her who wants to break free from these constraints and part ways with Zhu Jin forever?

She sighed softly and said nothing more.

The next day.

Shen Shuangmiao started working in the studio, and delegated other tasks that required her to move around to others.

By the third day, she no longer needed to stay in bed and could walk around slowly.

Her first action was to immediately go to the Zhu Group.

After Zhu Jin called last time, he blocked her again.

Shen Shuangmiao found it laughable.

What's the point of not blocking her?

Aside from calling to urge her to get a divorce, she no longer pestered Zhu Jin like before, urging him to come home quickly.

Shen Shuangmiao didn't want to delay any longer, so she went directly to the company building to wait for him. She only called Zhao Dong when she got to the gate.

Upon hearing that she had arrived, Zhao Dong said with some difficulty, "Madam, you've really come all this way for nothing. President Zhu isn't in the company right now."

"Yeah?"

Shen Shuangmiao said coldly, "I've already heard from the employees that they just finished a meeting, which was chaired by Zhu Jin."

Zhao Dong paused for a moment, then said, "Oh right, President Zhu left immediately after finishing his hosting duties and isn't here now."

“His car is here, so where could he be? Assistant Zhao, I can refuse to see Zhu Jin or bother him, but I need to wait for a specific time. My foot injury is almost healed, and I can get the marriage certificate anytime.”

This was the first time Shen Shuangmiao had spoken to Zhao Dong in such an impatient tone; she just wanted him to understand that she couldn't wait any longer.

I don't want to waste a single second.

After hearing her words, Zhao Dong coughed lightly: "Well, I, I'll ask President Zhu first. Please wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shuangmiao went into the company lobby and sat down on the sofa in the rest area.

There were many people coming and going in the lobby, including seven or eight people at the front desk.

They all glanced at Shen Shuangmiao from time to time, seemingly having already recognized her.

Shen Shuang frowned slightly.

She rarely comes here and has never made a high-profile appearance in the company. How could these people know her?

Just as she was feeling uncertain, she heard a few whispers in her ear.

"Oh my god, why did she suddenly show up? She looks like she's not going to leave."

"She's here to see President Zhu, right? They're divorced, President Zhu has nothing to do with her anymore, she regrets it and is here to block him."

"Tch, she's just clingy and persistent. Compared to Miss Zhou, she's like heaven and earth. That's the kind of woman men hate the most. A gentle and considerate woman like Miss Zhou is much more likable."

"Who says otherwise? Miss Zhou is upstairs in her office with President Zhu right now, she doesn't have time to bother with him."

Several voices entered Shen Shuangmiao's ears, making it difficult for her not to hear them clearly.

Is Zhou Wu in Zhu Jin's CEO office right now?

No wonder I didn't want to see her; it's just that she came at the wrong time today.

Shen Shuangmiao slowly got up, intending to leave after receiving Zhao Dong's call.

Just then, a figure stepped out of the elevator not far away.

Zhou Wu saw Shen Shuangmiao as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.

She paused, gripping the phone tightly to her ear: "Something's come up here, I have to hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wu crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Shuangmiao for a while, and then looked at the bodyguards who were standing guard at the door.

Receiving her signal, the bodyguards understood and walked towards Shen Shuangmiao in unison.

Hey! What are you doing? Why are you staying here?

"If you don't have a reservation and aren't a company employee, please don't waste this public space. Get out of here!"

The group's attitude grew increasingly hostile, creating a palpable sense of oppression.

Shen Shuangmiao immediately explained, "I've already called Assistant Zhao, and he told me to wait here for news."

"Really? Assistant Zhao wouldn't have gone this long without replying to your messages. You must have sneaked in on your own!"

As she spoke, several bodyguards began shoving and pushing Shen Shuangmiao.

“Our General Manager Zhu never keeps anyone waiting for more than half an hour. Since General Manager Zhu refuses to see you, you should leave now!”

“That’s not how it is…” Shen Shuangmiao tried to explain, but one of the bodyguards pulled her up forcefully.

Her expression changed slightly, and she gasped in pain, clenching her teeth for a moment before she could recover.

Seeing Shen Shuangmiao's pained expression, everyone looked at each other, unsure whether she was genuinely suffering or faking it.

"Don't play the victim! We won't go easy on a woman like you! Get out of here!"

Shen Shuangmiao raised her hands to signal them not to fight: "My ankle is still sprained, please have some self-respect! I'll call Zhao Dong right now to urge him on, is that alright?"

As she spoke, she took out her phone.

Zhou Wu's eyes flickered. Remembering how she had stopped Zhao Dong at the office door, preventing him from going in to report, she quickly walked over.

"Wonderful!"

A light and gentle voice rang out.

Everyone in the hall looked over and saw that it was Zhou Wu. They all greeted her warmly.

Just like Zhu Jin, Zhou Wu was fawned over by everyone. He quickly went to Shen Shuangmiao and helped her up.

"What are you doing! Miaomiao already said she has an ankle injury, and you grown men are still hitting her. Don't you know what's good for you!"

Zhou Wu exudes a faint rose fragrance, and even when she scolds someone, she does so gently, like a refreshing breeze.

Unfortunately, the bodyguards were afraid of her and lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

Zhou Wu snorted: "Get out of here! Miaomiao can come here whenever she wants, and you are not allowed to stop her from now on."

At his command, everyone dispersed.

Zhou Wu breathed a sigh of relief, patted Shen Shuangmiao's hand to check her complexion, and asked cautiously, "Are you alright? Is your foot okay? Are you hurt?"

Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips, shook her head gently, and looked at her, who was still in a daze.

Just now, Zhou Wu acted as if she had the final say, clearly already enjoying the status and treatment of a boss's wife.

For the past two years since she married Zhu Jin, she has always been the clown whom everyone in the company despises for forcing him into marriage.

Just then, a sound came from beside my ear.

"Miss Zhou is truly beautiful inside and out. Back then, Shen Shuangmiao forced her into marriage, which ultimately led to her and President Zhu's separation. Yet, she is still so kind to Shen Shuangmiao now!"

Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank, and her face turned pale.
