Chapter 27 Forced Business Trip

Zhu Jin had a meal.

Zhao Dong and Zhou Wu also showed surprised expressions, not expecting that Shen Shuangmiao would really file a lawsuit.

If this gets out, it will definitely be a scandal.

This will have some impact on the reputation of the Zhu Group and the Zhu family.

Zhao Dong quickly interjected, "Madam, you should discuss this matter carefully. I think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shuangmiao interrupted him.

"There is no room for negotiation. This is my way of informing you, Mr. Zhu."

Shen Shuangmiao took a document out of her bag and waved it in front of Zhu Jin.

"You signed the divorce agreement but deliberately delayed the process. I have already collected the evidence, and I will submit this evidence to the court as part of the lawsuit. If you don't mind the embarrassment, you can continue to delay as you please."

After saying that, she turned and left.

When Zhou Wu saw the contents of the materials flashing in her hand, his expression changed slightly.

Without hesitation, she chased after him.

As soon as Shen Shuangmiao entered the corridor, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Miaomiao, wait a moment."

Zhou Wu walked over quickly.

She stopped Shen Shuangmiao, her expression subtle: "Why is my name on the materials you used to sue Ajin? Can I take a look?"

Shen Shuangmiao stared at her expressionlessly for two seconds before taking the materials out of her bag and handing them to her.

Zhou Wu's expression changed after reading it.

"You've collected all the recent news about me and Ah Jin?"

Shen Shuangmiao raised an eyebrow: "Yes, Zhu Jin is dragging his feet on getting a divorce, yet he's showing you off at restaurants and various banquets in a high-profile manner. He's setting a fire but forbidding others from lighting it. He already has someone else by his side. What's the point of dragging his feet on getting a divorce?"

A single question caused Zhou Wu's expression to change slightly.

She said calmly, "But what you're doing is causing me trouble. I don't think you should involve me."

Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips, truly unable to comprehend how she could say such a thing.

Shouldn't we have dragged her into this?

When Zhou Wu and Zhu Jin were constantly showing off their affection and were reported by the media, Zhou Wu never publicly said that she didn't want to be involved.

Shen Shuangmiao said calmly, "Miss Zhou, if you don't want to get involved, please persuade Zhu Jin to get the divorce certificate as soon as possible. It's better for everyone. It's no use coming to me. I'm also one of the victims. I dream about getting a divorce all the time."

After saying that, she snatched the documents back from Zhou Wu's hands, turned around and left without looking back.

The moment Shen Shuangmiao stepped into the elevator, Zhou Wu's expression turned cold and gloomy.

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then turned and went back to her office.

Zhu Jin was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the countless people below, who were as small as ants.

Hearing the sound, he turned around without any expression.

"They've already left?"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Zhou Wu didn't know what to say, so she walked over and looked at him hesitantly.

“Ah Jin, why don’t you just get a divorce from Miao Miao? I think she’s determined to sue you. There’s news about us going out to eat that’s in the case. If it’s used as evidence in the lawsuit, I’m afraid it will have a bad impact on you…”

She gazed earnestly at Zhu Jin's retreating figure.

Zhu Jin was looking out the floor-to-ceiling window again, making it impossible to read his thoughts.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

No rush.

Those two words left Zhou Wu speechless.

She frowned, wanting to say something more, but ultimately held back.

"Alright, since you have your own ideas, I won't say anything more."

Zhou Wu coughed lightly and had no choice but to turn around and leave silently.

After everyone left, Zhu Jin pursed his lips, took something out of his pocket, and opened his palm.

A photograph lies in the palm of my hand.

The picture above shows a girl with a radiant smile, bright and cheerful.

...

Over at the studio.

When Shen Shuangmiao returned, she saw Fu Xuan pacing anxiously back and forth outside her office.

Seeing her return, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to greet her.

"I just received a notification that my proposal has been approved. How did you resolve this? Miaomiao, did you get the short end of the stick when you went to see Zhu Jin?"

Fu Xuan didn't dare blink, afraid of missing Shen Shuangmiao's sad and aggrieved micro-expressions, and couldn't believe that she could be so nonchalant.

But in fact, Shen Shuangmiao was really calm.

Having experienced similar things so many times, she didn't even have the energy to feel emotionally exhausted.

Shen Shuangmiao forced a smile and explained to him, "I didn't suffer any loss. I just apologized to Zhu Jin in person and then agreed to go abroad next week to help the client company get a batch of environmentally friendly materials and get the plan approved."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief, just like her reaction at the beginning.

"Why are you choosing the raw materials? That's the client's project team's job. We're only responsible for designing the plans, and we've already given them the supply methods for the raw materials. What more do they want?"

He was so angry that he wanted to go find Zhu Jin right now.

Fu Xuan couldn't stand seeing Zhu Jin bullying Shen Shuangmiao like this.

They were husband and wife after all.

Everyone says that a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of happiness, but for Zhu Jin, is it just a day as husband and wife that brings a hundred days of hatred?

Fearing he might cause more trouble, Shen Shuangmiao quickly pulled him back.

She said softly, "Don't go looking for him. This matter is already settled. Let's just finish this project peacefully. You know, I've finally managed to stabilize the situation, and I don't want anything else to happen."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.

He had never seen such a despicable person, who was so ruthless towards the woman he once loved.

"What's so great about Zhou Wu? Is he really worth all this trouble and effort?"

He couldn't help but make a comment.

Shen Shuangmiao's eyes darkened slightly as she went to organize the documents on the table.

"Alright, you don't need to stand up for me. Anyway, it's good that things at work can be resolved smoothly. I need to pack up. I'm going to go abroad this weekend to deal with this matter."

She lowered her head and began to pack the things she needed.

Seeing her so calm, Fu Xuan gritted his teeth and remained silent for a moment.

He hated that Shen Shuangmiao suffered such injustice, and he hated the feeling of being manipulated by Shen Shuangmiao.

Fu Xuan kept thinking about why he wasn't like Zhu Jin, but the heir of some great family.

The first time he felt jealous was because Zhu Jin was so lucky, able to command the wind and rain, and could destroy Shen Shuangmiao with just a word.

From birth until now, he has never complained about the unfairness of fate.

But now, because he feels sorry for Shen Shuangmiao, he desperately wants to become a better person.

In this way, Shen Shuangmiao will not suffer any grievances from Zhu Jin.

Fu Xuan slowly exhaled, trying his best to calm down.

"I'll finish my work now. I'm worried about you going abroad. I don't want you to cause any trouble. I'll go with you."
