Chapter 4 You guessed right

For the first time, Li Chi'an discovered that "obedience" was such an ironic word.

"All moral standards that are higher than human standards can only be used to demand of oneself, not to bind others." Seeing the blankness in Li Chi'an's eyes, Gao Yinxi sighed softly, "Chen Li sees either shrewd people or old monsters every day."

She has always believed that people are products of their environment.

"And you, besides classmates, are all you do is read books."

Li Chi'an nearly choked up, his voice filled with pain and bewilderment, "Why? Why did he do this?"

"Chen Li is not without merit."

At least they look presentable.

Why did he do this to me?

Even though I know it's a silly question, I still get caught up in it when I feel powerless.

The sobs that Li Chi'an squeezed out of her throat were torn into pieces, each one duller and hoarser than the last, as if someone were cutting her lungs with an embroidered knife.

"What did I do wrong to deserve this?"

Looking at Li Chi'an, who was curled up on her knees with her hands clenched tightly in her palms, Gao Yinxi felt that the crying was not coming from her mouth, but from the cracks in her bones, mixed with the fishy smell of blood and bile.

Why do you need to reflect on yourself? Why can't you justify hating others?

The more self-reflective a person is, the more likely they are to help others deplete their own resources.

The rain pattered against the windowpane, creating a noisy din throughout the room.

Li Chi'an's cries lingered in the air, growing like mold, climbing the walls, seeping into the floor, and finally resonating throughout the entire room.

Gao Yinxi felt like she was swallowing shards of glass with every breath she took.

...

Xiyuan Residential Community.

The young woman, already dressed, nestled in Chen Li's arms. "Li Li, you're so smart. You predicted so quickly that your wife would go to Six Senses."

"Tsk, she's a homebody, she only has a handful of friends, where else could she go besides visiting them?" Chen Li's lips curled downwards into a clear arc. "Now you can rest assured, right?"

"No..." The young woman pouted and pressed her body against Chen Li, "The phone is still in her hands."

“I need to find a lawyer who specializes in divorce cases.” Chen Li tapped lightly on the edge of the bed, turned his head to look at the young woman, and a look of distress appeared on his face. “Most of the lawyers I know specialize in medical disputes.”

The young woman blinked. "Lili, my mom knows a very good divorce lawyer."

"No rush." ​​Chen Li looked down at the woman whose eyes were shining, and slowly revealed a relieved smile. "It's great that you have it here."

He then rested his head on her shoulder, saying, "Otherwise, I'll be so annoyed."

"It's nothing, Lili." The young woman looked at Chen Li coquettishly, a secret joy rising in her heart.

"Luckily, I have you, Yingying." Chen Li already had a pair of captivating eyes, and when he focused on someone, his eyes were full of affection.

Many people have fallen into this trap, and he himself knows it.

...

"Where's my sister?" Gao Yanshu pushed open the door to the president's office and saw only Li Chi'an lying on the sofa.

“She went out to answer the phone.” Li Chi’an looked up, revealing a face red from crying.

Gao Yanshu pursed his lips and sat down on her other side. "Are you alright now?"

Even if you lie, you won't be able to offer any comfort.

Gao Yanshu's eyes darted around, and she guessed, "Did your husband cheat on you?"

Li Chi'an paused, and after a long while, asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you guess that?"

Does everyone else think Chen Li is a scumbag, and only she is bad at judging people?

"Otherwise what?" Gao Yanshu looked at Li Chian, his clear eyes revealing straightforward concern. "I can hardly imagine what else could cause you so much pain."

For Gao Yanshu, Li Chi'an was his sister's best friend, and also a sister he was willing to befriend.

Honestly, among all of Gao Yinxi's friends, he liked Li Chian the most.

Li Chi'an lowered his head weakly. "You guessed right."

Gao Yanshu clenched his fists. "Do you know why I guessed it?"

"Why?"

"When my mom first discovered that my dad was having an affair, she was in a similar state to you."

Silence fell around them. Li Chi'an sighed deeply, "Sigh...your father..."

Everyone in my WeChat Moments knows what kind of person Chairman Gao is.

In the current situation, Gao Yanshu used the example of his deceased wife to comfort her, and she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"So, don't be sad." Gao Yanshu stared at Li Chian with piercing eyes and sneered, "Married men are all the same. If you make yourself miserable, he'll be laughing."

Just like his mother helped his scumbag father build the Gao family business from scratch, but she never enjoyed any of the good things in life.

His father could never control his lustful desires; he kept the wife at home while having affairs outside.

His mother was such a proud person, so strong-willed all her life, that she got breast cancer from this and passed away in her early fifties.

His father, that scumbag, only reformed himself in the year his mother was about to die, and went home to take care of her. But once his mother died, he became like a dog in heat that wasn't leashed, going after any female he saw.

Thinking of him, Gao Yanshu gritted his teeth and sucked blood, "You're still so young, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Li Chi'an felt that Gao Yanshu's words made sense. "Has the person who bumped into my phone been caught?"

"We caught them." Gao Yanshu scratched his head.

"What's wrong? Doesn't he want to pay?"

“That’s a scoundrel.” Gao Yanshu, thinking of the man in the baseball cap currently being held captive in the security room, quickly recounted what had happened to Li Chian. “Do you want to report it to the police?”

Li Chi'an raised his hand and smoothed his hair. "Is that man a hotel guest?"

If she were a guest, she would have to consider the reputation of Six Senses.

"No." Gao Yanshu was speechless. "He came to our hotel to use the restroom."

Li Chi'an was now on high alert. "When the police arrive, check his call logs."

"You suspect he came specifically to destroy your phone?"

"Don't you think that man is strange?"

"It's quite strange." Gao Yanshu was also puzzled. "But what reason would he have to destroy your phone?"

A cold glint appeared in Li Chi'an's eyes. "What if I have evidence of Chen Li's infidelity on my phone?"

"Holy crap, you're saying your husband hired him to come to our hotel and destroy your phone?" Gao Yanshu found it hard to believe. "He changed careers?"

"What?"

This method of destroying evidence is incredibly swift.

"Your son's father switched careers to become a forensic doctor?"

Li Chian looked at Gao Yanshu and paused for a moment, "Perhaps you think I'm making a fuss over nothing, but I feel like I'm living in a huge deception right now."

I dare not believe anything, and I always think a few steps ahead of everything.

“You’re right.” Gao Yinxi pushed open the office door and walked in, tossing something into Li Chian’s arms. “Here you go.”
