Chapter 81

Old Master Xia chuckled and said, "It's normal. After all, he was taught by Lin'er. Lin Cai does have a talent for business, and he has a good relationship with the kid from the Leng family. How can I not trust someone that Lin'er can trust?"

"But he is not wrong. Xia Jiye is just fed up with him. You should arrange more people to protect Lin Cai. I'm worried that Xia Jiye will become desperate and attack Lin Cai." Xia Wenxuan said worriedly.

"Yes." Secretary Luo agreed, and he also looked down on Xia Jiye in his heart. First, Xia Jiye had no gratitude at all. The Xia family had done him a favor, but he was only thinking about scheming against the Xia family. Second, he had no ability. If he really had ability, there would be no one willing to support him to take the position.

"You can send out an announcement and say that if Lin Cai can sign a cooperation agreement with Leng Group, he will take over my job and become the acting president. After a year, if everyone has no objection, he will officially take over." Xia Wenxuan looked at Secretary Luo and said.

Secretary Luo nodded, "Okay, President."

"There is also an auction tonight. Ask Lin Cai if he is interested in going with me to bid for some jewelry for An An." Xia Wenxuan instructed.

"Okay, President." Secretary Luo agreed and turned to leave the office.

At this time, Liu Wen started throwing things as soon as he returned home. He never thought that the punishment would be so severe.

He originally thought that he had bought off the connections and could minimize the damage, but he didn't expect that the people who had previously agreed to help would go back on their word, return the money to him, and say that everything would be done according to the rules.

Liu Wen sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

Suddenly, he heard someone say that he was punished like this because he had offended someone.

But he had been very careful in the past year, and it was impossible for him to offend anyone! At this moment, he saw his wife coming down from upstairs, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"Have you offended anyone these days?" Liu Wen asked his wife, staring at her.

Liu Wen looked at her husband's gloomy face and felt uneasy. She shook her head and denied it quickly, "I didn't offend anyone! I didn't even leave the house these two days. You know that."

The husband sneered and continued to ask, "Yeah, you always liked to go out before, why did you suddenly become so quiet these two days? And didn't you say before that you joined a group of wealthy ladies and wanted to help me find a connection? Have you found one now?"

Liu Wen avoided his gaze, not daring to look him in the face, and stammered, "This...that..."

In fact, the reason why she stayed indoors for the past two days was because she got into trouble in that so-called group of noble ladies.

She was able to join the group only by paying off one of the ladies.

However, when the other wives learned her true identity, they ignored her.

She was kicked out of the group by the group owner just because she made a few extra comments about Mrs. Leng.

Now, she can no longer enter the group, and even the lady who took money from her has returned the money and said she will cut off all contact with her from now on.

Mrs. Leng rarely speaks on weekdays and seems quite low-key.

She originally thought that this Mrs. Leng was just an ordinary wealthy lady. Judging from her circle of friends, she did not have any high-end luxury bags or other things to show off her wealth, nor did she have any other special features, so she mistakenly believed that she was just an ordinary person.

Therefore, she dared to seek a sense of existence so wantonly and speak wildly.

If she had known that Mrs. Leng was no ordinary person, she would never have dared to speak nonsense so recklessly.

Liu Wen stared at her guilty look, and he understood everything. He no longer asked the reason, but directly snatched her phone and quickly entered the password.

However, when he checked, he found that the group that was originally pinned had disappeared and could not be found.

"What happened? Why did the ladies' group disappear? Were you kicked out of the group? What did you do?" Liu Wen slammed his phone on the table, stared at her with sharp eyes, and asked harshly.

“I… I just saw a cold lady sending flowers from her daughter-in-law, and I casually said a few words about marrying a wife of equal status. I didn’t expect that she would go to the group owner and ask him to kick me out of the group or leave the group herself.

Later, the group owner really kicked me out of the group. "Mrs. Liu lowered her head and looked at her husband with some fear. She knew that her husband would be very angry, but she still did not dare to hide the truth.

When Liu Wen heard this, he was so angry that his face turned blue. He stood up suddenly and slapped Mrs. Liu fiercely: "What qualifications do you have to meddle in other people's affairs? Who do you think you are? Don't you know what kind of person you are? How dare you point fingers at others!"

Mrs. Liu covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes, and dared not speak. She knew that she had gotten into trouble this time, and it was a big one.

Liu Wen panted and continued to curse: "Do you know that Mrs. Leng may be related to the Leng family? She even makes Mrs. Zhang listen to her. Do you think our Liu family can afford to offend her? Now, because of you, my company is going bankrupt! Are you satisfied? From now on, our whole family will have nothing to lose!"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she couldn't help crying. She regretted it so much that she shouldn't have said so much.

"I shouldn't have been with you in the first place. If it were Xiaoyu, she would never have done this to me. She wouldn't have ended up like you, accomplishing nothing and ruining my reputation." Liu Wen frowned and said with a look of regret.

He recalled how he had forced his wife to commit suicide due to depression, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.

Ever since he married his current wife, his business has been bad. He feels that this woman is a jinx who has brought him endless troubles.

Mrs. Liu covered her hurt face with her hands, tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't help laughing.

There was a hint of sarcasm and helplessness in the laughter, as if mocking Liu Wen's stupidity and selfishness.

She looked at Liu Wen and said firmly, "Do you regret it? Do you regret being with me? It was you who disliked my sister for being a shrew and pursued me, not me who was so shameless as to follow you."

Mrs. Liu's voice trembled a little as she recalled Liu Wen's pursuit of her. At that time, she was young, beautiful, full of energy and vigor.

Liu Wen is a successful businessman with unlimited charm and wealth. Their love story was once envied by others, but now it has become a joke.

After hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Liu Wen's face became even gloomier.

He could not refute her words because it was the truth. He had abandoned his wife for the younger and prettier Mrs. Liu, but now he was beginning to regret his decision.
