Chapter 381: Arrogance Will Make You Blind
Zou Hanming couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he said this, and sincerely exclaimed, "This is definitely the most cunning and audacious playboy I've ever met."
"Cough cough...cough cough..." Zou Hanming laughed too hard and coughed several times to remind Lin Sheng. When Lin Sheng looked over, Zou Hanming gave him a cold eye roll.
Zou Hanming awkwardly shut his mouth, only then remembering that his friend's deceased father was also a fish in someone else's fishpond, and the one who was slaughtered the most.
Ning Anquan received the worried looks from the two men and knew what they were thinking. He couldn't help but laugh: "Ah Ming is right. Her methods are indeed sophisticated. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bewitched my dad so much that he would give her everything."
Zou Hanming still felt bad and comforted her, "Don't be too sad. That woman is a black widow; whoever touches her is doomed. Your uncle..."
“I’m not sad. To be honest, the fact that the child in her belly isn’t my dad’s is a good thing for me. If that child were really my younger brother or sister, even if I hated that woman, I couldn’t abandon the child. After all, that’s my dad’s flesh and blood, my only family in this world. But he isn’t…”
He wasn't his younger siblings, nor was he a relative left to him by his father; he had absolutely no relation to that child.
In that case, he can take revenge on that woman without worrying that his children will harbor resentment towards him when they grow up because their older brother caused their biological mother's predicament.
Compared to this woman who habitually uses her body and beauty to climb the social ladder, Ning Anquan is more concerned about Uncle Li, who plays a pivotal role in this matter.
“I don’t understand why he would do this? My dad and he have such a good relationship, and he’s always been very good to me.”
Why would someone do something like this, stabbing someone in the back? And why are they so determined to kill him and his father, to have their family line end?
Ning Anquan suddenly stood up, grabbed the stack of documents, and walked out.
The other two were startled: "Ah Quan, where are you going?"
"Go find Miss Ye, after all, some things here are related to her."
The two exchanged a glance and agreed: "Hey, wait a minute, let's go together."
When the group arrived at Ye Wanxi's house, Ye Wanxi had just finished dinner and was preparing to go upstairs to pack her things to take to the film set the next day.
"Is this all the information you've found in the past two days?"
"Um."
Ye Wanxi took the documents and flipped through them. Good heavens, Ning Anquan's stepmother has an extraordinary romantic history.
She was originally the secretary to the boss of a small company. Because she was good-looking and capable, she quickly fell in love with the boss.
Six months later, at a banquet, Bai Limei, as the boss's girlfriend, went with him and caught the eye of a big boss at the banquet.
At first, the other party only regarded her as Mr. Bai Limei's mistress, and subtly implied that if Mr. Bai Limei could give her to him as his mistress, he would give up some of the profits in the cooperation between their two families.
Unfortunately, Bai Limei's boyfriend truly loved her and naturally couldn't agree to such an unreasonable request.
As a result, it's easy to imagine that the more unattainable something is, the more one desires it.
This big boss, along with several other business owners who had some dealings with Bai Limei's boyfriend's company, secretly set a trap for him, causing his company to go bankrupt, leaving him with huge debts, and in despair, he jumped off a building.
Ye Wanxi: "..." What kind of ancient Mary Sue story is this, full of cunning, cruel love, and melodramatic romance?
As it turns out, reality is far more dramatic than any TV series.
After Bai Limei's boyfriend jumped to his death, she fell into the hands of that big boss and became his mistress for three years.
Three years later, the big boss transferred her to another boss who was even more powerful and wealthy than him, in exchange for a major collaboration that could double his company's wealth.
Bai Limei thus went through many different sugar daddies before finally marrying Ning Anquan's father.
For a woman to be passed around like an object should be a very pitiful and helpless situation.
However, this argument does not apply to Bai Limei. Looking at the men she has been with, it is easy to see that Bai Limei is not entirely innocent in this matter.
After being with these men, her life got better and better, she had more and more money, and her status became more and more legitimate.
Finally, through the efforts of her previous sugar daddy, she completely shed her shady mistress status and became someone else's lawfully wedded second wife.
All the men here treated her like a parasitic plant clinging to them, unaware that she was actually a man-eating flower.
They all thought they had chosen this woman, but little did they know that she was choosing a suitable stepping stone for herself to rise to power.
What's most remarkable is that she gradually elevated herself to a high position, yet always played the role of a weak, passive, and pitiful person who couldn't control her own destiny.
This made those men who had once been sincere or insincere towards her feel a little pity for her, thinking that she was the one who gave in the relationship.
Even though they separated, they still had a good impression of her, instead of seeing her as a traitor who was blinded by self-interest and climbed over them to get ahead.
This is why Zou Hanming sighed so much after reading it: "What's wrong with these men? Even if they keep mistresses or mistresses, they should at least have some brains. They're being used without even realizing it. How did someone so brainless become a boss?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at him: "Because most men are arrogant."
Zou Hanming looked bewildered: "Arrogance? What does this have to do with arrogance?"
"When men become arrogant, they become selectively blind."
The three men present: "..." Thank you, I feel like I've been subtly insulted!
"Hey, she's having an affair with Xue Jifeng too!" Gao Min stood behind Ye Wanxi and happened to see Xue Jifeng's photo at the bottom of the document.
After the initial shock, Gao Min vaguely recalled what Ye Wanxi had said when she left the TV station that day: "You said someone would come looking for you that day, is this what you meant? This person is not Xue Jifeng nor his lover, but Mr. Ning?"
Ning Anquan and the others were also taken aback: "What do you mean by that, Miss Gao?"
Gao Min glanced awkwardly at Ye Wanxi. Seeing that she didn't object, she briefly mentioned how Xue Jifeng had secretly set a trap for Ye Wanxi on the day they participated in the variety show, how he looked guilty before leaving, and what Ye Wanxi had said to her after he left.
After hearing this, the group looked at Ye Wanxi with even greater awe, especially Ning Anquan.
After hearing Gao Min's description, he felt that Ye Wanxi must have foreseen the complicated situation beforehand, which was why she agreed to help him so readily.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be glad that woman was stupid. Of all the people to cause trouble for, why did she have to pick on such a deadly weapon? Wasn't she just courting death?
