Chapter 169 Lu Yanzhi, the Top Scumbag on the List

There were many reporters at the scene, and a large number of people watching the live broadcast. Everyone was waiting for Lu Yanzhi's answer.

Han Wei, backstage, nervously watched Lu Yanzhi and the Huo family. Shi Nian looked at Sisi, who was staring at the kitten, while Lu Yanzhi responded from the other end of the line.

Under the flashing lights, Lu Yanzhi finally spoke.

He said, "Regarding the first question, Han Wei and I did have feelings for each other, but the divorce was the result of discussions between Shi Nian and me, and it had nothing to do with Han Wei."

"The second issue is that there are objections to our divorce agreement, which may require litigation, so we cannot be sure what we will take with us at this time."

He paused slightly before continuing, "However, as I said before, we signed a prenuptial agreement to ensure the integrity of the group, so there will be no issues regarding equity."

The flashbulbs were still going off, and the player was playing Lu Yanzhi's acknowledgment of Han Wei and his defense of her.

Shi Nian looked at Lu Yanzhi on the screen.

That night, even though it was clearly his insistence, she asked him many times, but all she got in return was, "Shi Nian, don't make me think you're vicious."

If this is the result of the negotiations he mentioned.

Moreover, he did not directly address whether the breakdown of their marriage was due to Han Wei.

Even now, she still doesn't understand why, after so many years, so much love, so many times risking her life, and being inseparable through thick and thin, it all couldn't compare to Han Wei, whom he had known for less than a year.

The reporter was still asking, "Mr. Lu, according to what you said, did Shi Nian leave with almost nothing?"

This topic is very sensitive.

The two had been together for many years, a fact known to almost everyone in City A. They were not just a couple without a formal marriage certificate; they were a legally married couple.

She can be described as a wife who shared difficult times with me.

If I were to leave with nothing at this point...

With everyone watching, Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly.

"Everything will be announced after the litigation is over," Lu Yanzhi said.

The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Yanzhi had already indicated that today's press conference was over.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, we still have a question!"

"Mr. Lu..."

However, Lu Yanzhi had already left under the escort of the crowd.

The shareholders have managed to stabilize the situation for now, but whether the stock price will fluctuate when the market opens tomorrow remains to be seen.

All I know is that this has sparked a huge wave of discussion online.

Most of the discussions revolved around the division of property between Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi.

"Seven years, and I still haven't received any shares!"

“Normally, an employee who has worked for a company for seven years would receive severance pay, let alone this, which isn’t an employee, but his wife!”

"Does he plan to just give him some money and call it a day? Money is the least important thing to Lu Yanzhi. He can earn back the shares in a few days. The most valuable thing in Lu's Group is its shares!"

"I hereby declare Lu Yanzhi the number one scumbag on my list!"

+1.

"+ID number + bank card number!"

"I don't know how that scumbag got those injuries on his face, but whatever, he deserves to be beaten up!"

...

Everyone was in an uproar.

Meanwhile, at the Huo family home, Huo Yanmo used the remote control to turn off the media player.

Shi Nian looked up at Huo Yanmo, who was standing to the side.

He no longer had his usual smiling face; his dark eyes were filled with heartache and sadness.

"Forget about the past," he said. "Life is a long journey."

Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo in front of her.

He always seemed to know what she was thinking and was gentle and tolerant of her.

This is a completely different feeling from Lu Yanzhi. When I was with Lu Yanzhi, it was a relationship of mutual support and progress together.

As for Huo Yanmo... he always seemed to appear at the right time, saying just a few words, but they made her feel at ease and reassured.

If she were younger, if she hadn't experienced so much, perhaps she would have longed for a passionate, tumultuous love affair.

But now, battered and exhausted, she might yearn for a simple and warm relationship.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yanmo asked softly.

Shi Nian shook her head.

She suddenly had a feeling that she had seen him somewhere before.

Not in the business world, but somewhere else entirely.

"Haha, little kitten~" Sisi, taking advantage of the fact that the plush toy wasn't paying attention, hugged it tightly.

The fat doll looked like it wanted to push away, but it didn't use any force. Its paws were lightly resting on the ground, and it didn't extend them. It looked at the two of them with a helpless expression.

Meow~

The cat meowed once, and Sisi hugged it and rubbed against it.

A person and a cat rolled around together.

The two people next to them looked at Sisi and the kitten with smiles on their faces.

...

Time flies.

On the other side, Han Wei and Lu Yanzhi had already finished dinner.

It was completely dark when Lu Yanzhi escorted Han Wei back to Vivian's Floral Studio.

They remained silent the entire way.

Lu Yanzhi kept looking out the car window, while Han Wei next to him kept sending messages to Fu Er using her alternate account.

The two talked for a long time, and finally, Han Wei sent a message: "So whether we can make a fortune this time depends on our actions!"

After sending the message, Han Wei put her phone away.

She looked at Lu Yanzhi's profile, thought for a moment, and then said with concern, "Brother Yanzhi."

Lu Yanzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at her.

“Brother Yanzhi, I will help you.” Han Wei said earnestly, “What she can do, I can do; what she can’t do, I can also do.”

But Lu Yanzhi just watched her quietly.

"Trust me," Han Wei said with a smile.

But what came to Lu Yanzhi's mind was Shi Nian, who had been by his side countless times when they encountered difficulties, holding his hand tightly.

They once fought side by side, overcoming obstacles time and time again.

But now, they stand on opposite sides.

The cold, aloof eyes she had looked at him during the day at the Lu family's place flashed before her eyes once more.

Lu Yanzhi felt a deep sadness in his heart.

He hurt her so deeply that if it weren't for the Shi family and the bet with Han Wei, she wouldn't even have anything to do with him now.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

But now, there's no going back.

He could only hold the Shi family hostage and trap her.

This is the only way forward.

The car sped along, heading towards Vivian's floral art studio.

Meanwhile.

A new piece of gossip has surfaced on entertainment news websites—

#Huo Yanmo on a date with a mysterious woman#

The accompanying picture shows a pair of people from behind.

That was by the river, where Huo Yanmo gently draped a coat over a mysterious woman.

The wind on the river at night ruffled the woman's long hair. Her back view was beautiful, but her figure was hidden under Huo Yanmo's coat, making it impossible to guess who she was.

All that could be seen, even in the darkness of night, was the tenderness in Huo Yanmo's eyes.
