As a straight man, Liu Yuan didn't think too much about it.

Lu Zhiyuan repeatedly emphasized that Yuan Yaxin and he were just siblings, so Liu Yuan believed it.

"At the time, I saw that Yuan Yaxin was beautiful and had a great figure, so I begged Lu Zhiyuan to help me match her up. Lu Zhiyuan was indeed very loyal and repeatedly found opportunities for me and Yuan Yaxin to be alone together. But after Yuan Yaxin noticed my feelings, she clearly rejected me."

I frowned and looked at Liu Yuan, feeling that his emotional intelligence was really worrying.

If he didn't have money now, I'm afraid no woman would be interested in him.

"Didn't you feel something was wrong at the time? Didn't you suspect that Yuan Yaxin rejected you because she liked Lu Zhiyuan?"

Liu Yuan scratched his head in frustration. "I never thought about that at all. Yuan Yaxin is very capable in all aspects, so naturally she's arrogant and looks down on me. It's normal. After hitting a wall a few times, I gave up and never thought about her again."

Liu Yuan pursued Yuan Yaxin only because he was superficially attracted by her appearance, not because he really loved her, so he gave up freely.

All the changes happened half a year later.

Liu Yuan calculated the time and continued, "At that time, Lu Zhiyuan was setting up Xiguang Technology. One day when we were drinking outside, he suddenly asked me if I wanted to join. I was shocked at the time and thought he was joking with me."

Liu Yuan's family background is average, and starting a business is too risky. He does not have the financial foundation to accompany Lu Zhiyuan in trial and error.

Lu Zhiyuan was attracted by Liu Yuan's ambition and family background, and extended an olive branch to him at the right time.

"He said he didn't need me to pay a penny, he could just give me the status of a partner and give me shares, but he needed me to marry Yuan Yaxin. I asked him why? He didn't tell me the specific reason, just that Yuan Yaxin needed a family."

Liu Yuan said innocently, "I was so happy at that time. It was like pie in the sky! I got a company and a beautiful and capable wife for free. I didn't think much about it and agreed decisively."

"Looking back now, I guess they treated me like a fool, a shield!" Liu Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly. "No wonder Yuan Yaxin was so reluctant to marry me, as if someone was holding a knife to her neck. And after we got married, she wouldn't let me touch her at all. She even threatened not to tell Lu Zhiyuan, or she'd make my gigolo days public and make me lose face in front of my friends and family."

Liu Yuan has always been concerned about his reputation, and with interests at stake, he can only choose to swallow his anger.

Six months later, Yuan Yaxin was transferred to the United States for work. The two officially separated, and Xiguang Technology was back on track. The good annual profits and dividends made up for Liu Yuan's resentment.

Liu Yuan looked arrogant and proud: "With money in hand, who cares what she does outside? I have the title of vice president and I have money. There are many young girls who want to get into my bed. What kind of woman can't I find?"

I felt contempt when I heard this. Liu Yuan was just eating free food and seemed to be doing it with a clear conscience.

He was, after all, a pathetic wimp.

I didn't mean to criticize him, I just found it strange.

"According to my investigation, they've been together for at least four years. You've been married to Yuan Yaxin for so long, and you see Lu Zhiyuan so often. Have you never caught them in an affair? Or even had the slightest suspicion?"

Liu Yuan hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, but just said ambiguously: "I didn't notice it at the time. Now that I think about it, there is indeed something wrong with the way Yuan Yaxin looks at Lu Zhiyuan. But Lu Zhiyuan really doesn't look any different. Damn it, he hid it too well!"
