Chapter 138 Reluctant to Part

"How did you do that?"

Yun Zhaozhao was very curious. That day, when she talked to Zeng Li, Zeng Li knew that Huang Chao was messing around outside, but she still chose to continue to maintain their marriage. It was clear that she was still reluctant to let go. In just a few days, Zeng Li actually changed her mind, which surprised her a lot.

"It's nothing, it just made her see Huang Chao's true character."

Pei Jiuyan spoke casually, but Yun Zhaozhao knew things were definitely not that simple. She asked him carefully and found out what Pei Jiuyan had done.

After Pei Jiuyan contacted Tanan and the others, he learned that he had something on Huang Chao that he could use against him.

He has only revealed a small part of it now, which is that Huang Chao's actions are not simply about playing with women; he also has special fetishes.

Pei Jiuyan had investigated all of these matters thoroughly.

Now that he has revealed those things to Zeng Li, Zeng Li is naturally outraged.

She could tolerate her husband having mistresses, but his various fetishes made her realize that she could no longer tolerate it, not even for the sake of her children.

Now that these things can be delivered to her, then these things can naturally also be delivered to Leader Huang Chao.

For the sake of her two children, she had to sever ties with Huang Chao as soon as possible.

Huang Chao did indeed want to take advantage of the Fu family's attack on Pei Jiuyan to do something to Pei Jiuyan.

However, that's no longer the case. He can't even handle his own affairs, so naturally he can't form an alliance with the Fu family.

Therefore, Pei Jiuyan's plan proceeded smoothly.

In just two days, the Fu family no longer had time to deal with Pei Jiuyan, because several members of the Fu family had run into trouble, and Fu's father was busy dealing with their affairs.

He knew this was a warning from Pei Jiuyan, and if he insisted on continuing, the consequences would be even more serious.

In the end, Mr. Fu had no choice but to back down temporarily. He ordered his men to stop, and the project was no longer obstructed, returning to normalcy.

This time, Yun Zhaozhao also felt the power struggle involved.

She put herself in Pei Jiuyan's shoes and realized that she wouldn't have been able to handle this situation alone without him. Pei Jiuyan had a lot of connections, and he even had people he kept on hand. They would spend their free time researching all sorts of information, which seemed useless and expensive, but their usefulness became apparent when it mattered most.

However, Pei Jiuyan's actions have thoroughly offended Huang Chao and the Fu family. Once these two families have dealt with the current situation, they will definitely join forces to deal with Pei Jiuyan.

Seeing her worry, Pei Jiuyan comforted her, "Even if they join forces, I'm not going to be a pushover."

"Don't worry, I still have their things in my possession, they'll be wary."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Yun Zhaozhao glanced at him and said, "How do you know they don't have anything of yours? The documents are on their side now."

After all, Pei Jiuyan's past actions weren't exactly clean; many things he did were flawed and couldn't withstand close scrutiny.

In response, Pei Jiuyan bluntly stated, "They're not clean either, otherwise why do you think they're all so capable?"

"They'd better think twice before trying to crush me. If they really anger me, then it'll be a fight to the death for everyone."

That's what happens when a peasant isn't afraid of wearing shoes; he's not afraid of being finished because he has so many people to keep him company.

Knowing that he had something on his mind, Yun Zhaozhao didn't say anything more, but simply pushed the chicken soup towards Pei Jiuyan without making a sound.

She's been drinking soup so much lately she's practically throwing up.

Looking at the chicken soup in front of him, Pei Jiuyan was also a little embarrassed. He lowered his voice and said, "Aunt Chen told me to make sure you drink it."

Yun Zhaozhao didn't speak, but gave Pei Jiuyan a look, and Pei Jiuyan immediately gave in: "You must drink tonight."

After saying that, he quickly drank a bowl of chicken soup. He immediately felt a bit full and thought that it would be time to put fitness on the agenda.

In the past few days, he has been making Yun Zhaozhao various stews. He doesn't know if Yun Zhaozhao has recovered, but he has gained two pounds.

He still needs this face to impress Yun Zhaozhao, so he can't afford to lose it.

Having successfully dodged the bowl of soup, Yun Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Pei Jiuyan hadn't been completely useless after all.

While the two of them were getting along fairly well, Huang Chao and Zeng Li were having a very unpleasant argument. Huang Chao stared at Zeng Li with a look of annoyance: "Do you really have to get a divorce?"

He didn't know what had happened; Zeng Li was determined to divorce him, as if she had gone mad.

He begged, he knelt, and even his two children pleaded on his behalf, but Zeng Li wouldn't budge this time no matter what he said.

"Yes, we must get a divorce."

Zeng Li has also had a hard time these past few days. Every time she closes her eyes, all she sees are the awful things Huang Chao has done.

She used to think it was all consensual, a matter of mutual consent, but now she realizes it's not like that at all. Huang Chao used his power to do far too many despicable things.

"Why is that? How could you bear to part with all these years of our relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li let out a cold laugh: "You still dare to bring up our years-long relationship? If you had ever thought about me or the child, you wouldn't have done this."

Upon hearing this, Huang Chao showed a hint of panic. Could it be that his affair with a sugar daddy had backfired?

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Did you hear something? Don't believe any of it. Pei Jiuyan has been acting like a mad dog lately, biting anyone he can get his hands on..."

"Yellow tide!"

Zeng Li interrupted him: "You know what you've done. Even for the sake of the two children, you should agree to a divorce."

This time, Huang Chao's expression completely changed. He had a bad feeling. Could it be that Zeng Li knew about his most private matters? How could that be? Even Pei Jiuyan didn't know about those things. He had always been wary of Pei Jiuyan.

Zeng Li didn't want to talk anymore. She said wearily, "Huang Chao, let's get a divorce!"

After saying that, she slowly went back to her room. The moment she closed the door, tears streamed down her face. She didn't understand how things had turned out this way.

They had known each other since childhood, and their years of friendship had now become a joke.

Huang Chao stared intently at the closed door, his eyes filled with worry.

If what he did gets out, he will definitely lose his current position.

Thinking of this, he made two phone calls to inquire again, and only felt relieved after confirming that no information had been leaked. However, he still dared not relax and thought about having someone investigate Pei Jiuyan.

He felt that this matter was still inextricably linked to Pei Jiuyan.

The thought of divorce made him irritable. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with Zeng Li, but rather that he couldn't bear to part with the Zeng family behind Zeng Li. Moreover, it was best for people in their positions to avoid things like divorce.

He won't let it go so easily; this marriage doesn't necessarily have to end in divorce.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Chao got up and went out. He would let Zeng Li know that it was not that he couldn't live without the Zeng family, but that the Zeng family couldn't live without him.
