Chapter 82 Is true love in this world just a casual affair when the interests are right?
In the corner of the studio, under a makeshift awning, the cold wind occasionally blew up the dust on the ground.
Gu Manman wrapped her down jacket tightly around her and looked down at the script.
Feng Mingzhou's assistant came over carrying an insulated lunch box and a briefcase.
"Ms. Gu, President Feng asked me to deliver this." The assistant placed the item on the small folding table next to her, bowed slightly, and left.
Gu Manman looked at the lunch box with the high-end restaurant logo printed on it, then looked at the brown paper file bag, and did not move.
"Wow, what's delicious? It smells so good!" Su Yu ran over, stared at the lunch box at first sight, and opened it without any hesitation.
"Hey!" Gu Manman was about to stop him.
Su Yu quickly picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into her mouth, mumbling: "Hmm... delicious! What's wrong?"
"You just eat it without even asking what it is." Gu Manman felt helpless.
"What?" Su Yu picked up another piece of green vegetable with chopsticks, "It's poisonous? It's freezing cold, I'll eat it even if it's poisonous."
Gu Manman ignored her, reached out for the file bag, opened it, and pulled out the report inside.
Su Yu ate while leaning over and asked, "What's so mysterious?"
Gu Manman flipped through the report and calmly dropped a bombshell: "Chen Liren cheated."
Su Yu almost spit out the food in her mouth: "Chen Liren? Who is Chen Liren?"
"Fuck! Shiqi's husband seems to be called Chen Liren?!"
Gu Manman nodded, her eyes still on the paper.
"No way!" Su Yu was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks. "They've been married for less than a year! How long has it been since they started having an affair?!"
"It's not new," Gu Manman turned a page, her tone flat, "It's been two years."
Su Yu was completely dumbfounded and couldn't speak for a long time.
Gu Manman continued: "Besides, you also know this mistress."
"I know him too? Who is he?"
"Li Wei."
Gu Manman added: "Li Wei was also present on the day Chen Liren and Shiqi got married. Do you think this mistress is arrogant or not?"
Su Yu felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
"Oh my god... this is so disgusting! Does Shiqi... does she know?"
Gu Manman shook her head: "It seems that she doesn't know."
Su Yu suddenly realized what was happening and slammed the table. "I was wondering why Chen Liren's grandson suddenly asked Shiqi to come over to discuss financing! Why didn't he come himself? It turns out that he somehow found out about Feng Mingzhou and you, and knew that Shiqi had a good relationship with you, so he wanted to use Shiqi to get in touch with Feng Mingzhou!"
She was so angry that her face turned red. "I guess Chen Liren also knows that if this thing can be done, it can only be done by Shiqi. No one else can help."
"Then he dares to mess with Li Wei?"
"What a piece of shit! What a piece of shit!"
When she was in college, Li Wei was quite introverted and not very sociable, and few people in her class liked her.
Only Yu Shiqi was broad-minded and felt that it was pitiful for her to be alone, so she took the initiative to be friends with her and often took her to eat and study together.
"Sister Manman! Sister Manman!" A stagehand came over jogging, breathing out white air. "Someone is looking for you outside. They say it's your friend."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shiqi was seen carrying two large insulated lunch boxes and walking around the equipment with another staff member.
When she saw Gu Manman and Su Yu, her eyes were curved with smile.
"Hello! I'm here to visit the studio and bring you warmth!"
Su Yu immediately went over and took a lunch box: "Great, Shiqi, you even thought of giving us a snack! Come on, sit down. Are you frozen?"
"It's OK. There's heating in the car." Yu Shiqi put another lunch box on the table, rubbed her hands, and sat down on the empty chair next to Gu Manman. "How was it? Did the filming go well?"
"That's it. I'm frozen like a grandson." Su Yu opened the lid of the lunch box, and the aroma immediately floated out. "Wow, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? Sister, you spent a lot of money!"
"That is, I must make up for it to my good sister."
Su Yu scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it, and asked vaguely while drinking: "By the way, Shiqi, didn't you go to discuss something this morning? How was it? Did it go smoothly?"
The smile on Yu Shiqi's face faded: "Don't mention it."
"I sat in the lobby downstairs for the whole morning and didn't even see the assistant in charge."
"I don't understand the twists and turns here. I'm sure I'll mess it up in the end."
Su Yu's anger was rising, and she blurted out: "I'm talking about your husband..."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Gu Manman kicked Su Yu under the table.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Manman, who was eating slowly with her head down.
Su Yu swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and changed the subject quickly: "Uh... I mean, your husband... is he good to you?"
"Of course that's good!" She said with a boastful and sweet tone, "Otherwise I wouldn't have married him. We've been so close since we started dating. Even though he's a dozen years older than me, he really loves me. We have a great relationship!"

After Yu Shiqi left.
"No, why did you stop me just now?" Su Yu finally couldn't help it and lowered her voice, "Chen Liren, that scumbag, is so disgusting, and he has been with Li Wei, that white lotus, for two years! Shiqi is still foolishly acting as his good wife to help him run business! Don't we tell her quickly? Let her see the true colors of that couple!"
"Look at her expression just now. Her heart and eyes are filled with how much her husband loves her... How can I start talking?"
"Just say it directly! It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one!" Su Yu said anxiously.
"Then what?" Gu Manman looked up at her. "Let her break down and cry here? Or let her rush back and tear up the scumbag and the mistress? When the incident becomes known to everyone, will Chen Liren be desperate? His company's funding chain is broken now. If he is pushed to the limit, there is nothing he can't do."
"Marriage is different from dating. When you're dating, you can just break up at the end of the day, but in marriage, it's a community of shared interests."
Su Yu was left speechless by what Gu Manman said.
"This is too big a matter," Gu Manman rubbed his brows, "I have to think about how to do the least harm to her, how to make her... at least not get herself involved."
She said, and took out her cell phone.
After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the dial button.
The call was connected quickly.
"It's me."
On the other end of the phone, Feng Mingzhou's breathing rhythm seemed to have changed.
"...Manman."
She walked to a quieter corner of the studio and lowered her voice: "What is the current situation of Chen Liren's company?"
"The financing failed and the capital chain was broken. If we can't find new investors, we will face bankruptcy."
"If Yu Shiqi divorces him," Gu Manman paused, "will she be affected?"
Feng Mingzhou was very gentle: "Manman is worried about her?"
Gu Manman did not answer his question, but just repeated: "Will it be affected?"
"Based on what we know so far, if Yu Shiqi files for divorce, according to the law, the legal property she acquired during the marriage belongs to her personally, and in principle she does not need to assume the company's debts."
"Of course, the specific situation will depend on their property division agreement and Chen's debt structure." He added in a flattering tone, "If necessary, I can arrange for a professional team of lawyers to provide her with legal assistance."
Gu Manman felt relieved after listening to his words.
At least, Yu Shiqi's personal property and future life will not be ruined by Chen Liren.
"I understand." said Gu Manman.
"Manman..." Feng Mingzhou seemed to want to say something.
"It's okay, I'm hanging up." Gu Manman interrupted him.
After hanging up the phone, the haze in Gu Manman's heart still did not dissipate.
It turns out that the so-called happy marriage is nothing more than a fool and an actor.
Is true love in this world just a casual affair when the interests are right?
