Hong Kong Island
A black minivan slowly drove up outside a high-end residential area and eventually stopped at the entrance of the community.
Not long after,
A figure arrived in front of the van.
The car window opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged noblewoman.
"Has the matter been investigated thoroughly?"
The noblewoman spoke calmly, her eyes filled with coldness, but upon closer inspection, one could see a suppressed anger within them.
"We've found out. Mr. Zhou is currently at that woman's house. He's been spending every night here for the past few days."
"Hehe... Zhou Haide, you really hid it well. You've been deceiving us all for so many years without revealing a single flaw. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes."
The noblewoman said coldly.
Readers who have reached this point probably already know who the lady is. That's right, she is Li Meihui, Zhou Haide's current legal wife.
She came today to catch them cheating.
Zhou Haide's betrayal of her was not merely a simple act; what angered Li Meihui most was that Zhou Haide even attempted to seize her family's assets.
Even though the Li family would eventually pass the inheritance to Li Xiaolong, Zhou Haide did not stop his actions.
"You ungrateful wretch! Without the Li family, you, Zhou Haide, are nothing. It is the Li family that made you a person of high status, and this is how you repay us?"
Li Meihui's tone was icy. Thinking of those three ingrates, Zhou Ling, Zhou Chuan, and Zhou Na, she thought, "No wonder they're Zhou Haide's offspring. Only when the upper beam is crooked can the lower beams be so crooked."
Fortunately, Li Xiaolong was well-educated by her and inherited her genes, but not Zhou Haide's selfishness and ingrate.
"Madam, the best locksmith in Hong Kong has arrived. He can guarantee we can get in quietly. Shall we go up now?"
"The servant in front of me asked."
Li Meihui glanced at the building not far away and said, "Let those two have their fun for a while. I need to wait for Xiaolong's bet result."
Li Meihui wasn't in a hurry. She had completely seen through Zhou Haide's character. Now that she had found enough evidence, she could deal with him at any time. But right now, what she cared about most was the bet between Li Xiaolong and Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen had done him a great favor, she didn't want Li Xiaolong to lose to Zhou Chen.
"If you lose the bet, my Li family will compensate you from other sources."
"This is my way of repaying you."
at the same time,
In a bedroom a few hundred meters away from Li Meihui,
A woman was lying in Zhou Haide's arms, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.
"Just bear with it a little longer. Once I have complete control of the Li family's business, we won't have to sneak around anymore. You've suffered a lot these past years following me, and I won't treat you unfairly."
Zhou Haide said gently.
The woman gave a soft "hmm," and said, "I've never felt wronged. I'm already content to be with you. I don't crave any status. All I want is for you to love me and have only me in your heart. I don't care about anything else."
"Of course I only love you, and that has never changed."
“These past few years, I’m no longer a girl in my twenties. I’m getting older and older, Hyde. Will you really not dislike me in the future?”
"Of course not. Only you understand me. Even if you grow old and lose your beauty, I will never abandon you. You are the only woman I want to grow old with."
"Hyde..."
Hearing this, the woman was moved and, touched, offered him a sweet kiss.
While Zhou Haide was enjoying himself, what he was thinking was completely different from what he had just said.
How could he possibly want a woman who's old and faded?
Once he succeeds in securing the Li family's business, he can choose any woman he wants.
"Women, they really are all stupid."
"To expect a man to love you for a lifetime is utterly ridiculous."
Zhou Haide sighed inwardly. His ex-wife was like this, his current wife was like this, and now the woman who had been with him for more than ten years was also like this.
"However, it's fortunate that none of you are smart, otherwise, how could I, Zhou Haide, have achieved what I have today?"
Zhou Haide's lips curled into a smug smile.
However, as he thought of the bet between Zhou Chen and Li Xiaolong, his smile froze slightly, because no matter who won or lost, it would affect him.
If Li Xiaolong wins, it will make it more difficult for him to plan the Li family's business.
If Zhou Chen wins, half of the Li family's business shares will become Zhou Chen's, which will also affect his plans.
If I had to choose one
Zhou Haide had no choice but to accept Li Xiaolong's victory, since if Zhou Chen took half of the Li family's shares, he wouldn't be able to make them his own.
"Zhou Chen, originally, I was on your side."
"Blame it on your insatiable appetite. You used the Li family's shares as a gamble. If you win, what's the point of me controlling the Li family's business? So, you can only lose."
I glanced at the time.
With twenty minutes to go before the market opened, Zhou Haide decided to savor his lover's passion a little longer.
Inside the banquet hall of a well-known hotel in Yanjing,
The appearance of Li Zhenrong and his grandson Li Xiaolong attracted a lot of attention; even some people at the scene who were more powerful than their family couldn't outshine them.
Simply because they were the main characters in that bet.
As the grandfather and grandson passed by, many people smiled and nodded. Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun deliberately approached and followed behind, trying to get a bit of attention.
Wang Rui and the others all showed disdain at this.
Zhou Ling called them Zhou Chen's lackeys, yet Zhou Ling followed behind the kidney transplant recipients, which was even more despicable.
