Chapter 8: Cold War in Less Than 12 Hours
Seeing that she was quiet and didn't argue, Zhao Shunian gave her a way out and said, "I want to see the balance of your mobile banking account. If you show it to me, I will take back what I just said."
Zhao Shunian took her phone, opened the bank app and returned it to her. The screen showed the password entry interface.
When facing their boss, workers sometimes curse their ancestors in their hearts, yet appear to get along with them on the surface. Regarding this rice chef, Yu Yin was actually being mean inside. She subtly changed her inner arrogance into a shrewd attitude.
Yu Yin quickly entered her bank card password, letting Zhao Shunian see it for only one or two seconds before turning off her phone.
Zhao Shunian was very sensitive to numbers and was good at accounting. He knew the main source of income for this card and could guess what the necessary expenses were. He roughly calculated the balance in his mind based on the card, and his suspicions dissipated.
He was a suspicious person and thought that Yu Yin had the idea of cheating and might put it into action. There was no abnormal transaction when she used his card. He could roughly tell whether she was just talking or really did it by checking her bank card.
Zhao Shunian did not ask to see Yu Yin's bank card statements. He knew where to walk the walk. If he really made this request, it would cross Yu Yin's bottom line and she would not agree.
“Why is there an extra 10 million?”
Yu Yin instantly understood that he wanted to check her account. She deliberately smiled brightly, "Your father gave me hush money. When you lost contact, he thought the rumor was probably true."
"I'll explain it to him. But are you a Pixiu? You basically only take in and never give out."
"I'm preparing for the future."
Yu Yin is still worried about the insufficient savings in her card. In the past, this money would have been enough for her to spend for a lifetime, but according to her current living standard, it is not enough at all.
So she tried not to touch the money in her card and saved it for her future divorce.
The scandal between Zhao Shunian and Xu Ronghao was just an inducement. Yu Yin really felt that their marriage was about to end when Zhao Shunian became the chairman of the Liang Group a month ago. Among the Liang family who founded the group, only Liang Lisheng was still on the board of directors, but he was only a non-executive director.
When the Liang family needed the Zhao family's help to solve the group's funding problem, the Zhao family wanted to seize the opportunity to annex the group. They each had their own calculations, and the marriage between the Zhao and Liang families was able to continue, unaffected by Liang Yilin's regretful engagement. The marriage was just a fig leaf for a private game of interests.
Businessmen are profit-driven. If there were no irresistible incentive for profit, it would be impossible for the Zhao family to continue the marriage after Liang Yilin broke off the engagement and agree to let an illegitimate daughter who did not grow up in the Liang family marry in her place.
Yu Yin felt that the most valuable things about her, a poor woman, were her dignity and integrity. Because of this game of interests, these two things were completely shattered. She became obedient and self-destructively accepted their arrangements...
Yu Yin said that with such seriousness that Zhao Shunian sensed something was amiss. He was about to find out what she meant when Monday's electronic voice rang out again: "It's ten o'clock in the evening. Please rest, Master."
It was Yu Yin who reminded herself on Monday that she would be ready to rest at ten o'clock, but she would not go to bed until almost eleven o'clock. When Zhao Shunian was not at home, she had a very regular life and schedule.
"I had a physical examination today, and the report shows that I'm fine. Zhao Shunian, you should also go for a checkup."
After saying that, Yu Yin stood up and left the audio-visual room, leaving Zhao Shunian alone here angry.
Zhao Shunian felt that Yu Yin knew how to make him angry. He also understood why she suddenly wanted to get a check-up today. She was worried that she would be infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
………
Zhao Shunian did not sleep in the same room with Yu Yin because Yu Yin locked the door and refused to let him in.
He knew that Yu Yin locked the door, but he would not lower himself to ask her to open the door. He was also angry about what Yu Yin said and felt that she had slandered him.
The next morning, Yu Yin woke up and saw a message from Shang Zhuoming. He was apologizing to her and sent a lot of text to explain the friend party. He said that Zhao Shunian and Xu Ronghao had nothing to do with each other. He also sent her pictures and picture messages to prove that he was not lying.
At this moment, Yu Yin finally believed what Zhao Shunian said last night.
Yu Yin went to the cloakroom and found the Hermès Birkin crocodile leather bag she had bought yesterday in the closet. Moving her eyes upwards, she saw a diamond-studded Chanel crocodile leather bag. Besides the closet, she opened other drawers and cabinets and always found a new guest.
Yu Yin felt like he was playing a real-life treasure hunt game.
She guessed that it was Yu Meimei who put these things in, and she could also guess who ordered Yu Meimei to do so.
Qin He had already arrived at the villa and was sitting in the side hall waiting for Zhao Shunian. When Yu Yin passed by the side hall door, he couldn't help but glance at her, wanting to know whether his wife had calmed down.
Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, and when Yu Yin looked over, he immediately stood up and greeted her with a standard smile.
Yu Yin also responded to him with a smile and asked him if he had eaten breakfast. He quickly said that he had.
In the restaurant, Yu Yin didn't see Zhao Shunian. When Ye Ma served her the food, she asked, "Why isn't Mr. here?"
"My husband is changing after his morning run. He should be back soon."
Speaking of Cao Cao, he appeared. Zhao Shunian had already changed his clothes and sat down at the dining table.
During breakfast, Yu Yin used a serving chopstick to pick up a lobster and goldfish dumpling for Zhao Shunian.
Zhao Shunian raised his eyes to look at her, "This goldfish dumpling is really expensive."
"It's not the goldfish dumplings themselves that are expensive, it's the value behind them. Since you gave a price, doesn't that mean you acknowledge the value behind them? You should know more about transactions than I do."
Zhao Shunian agreed with Yu Yin and ate the goldfish dumpling she picked up.
They didn't speak anymore after that. Zhao Shunian rarely spoke while eating.
But the cold war between them ended in less than twelve hours.
………
Yu Yin didn't go directly to Yin Yue's studio, but to the exhibition venue. The collector's collection would be delivered that afternoon, and she needed to coordinate on-site. Xiang Yue was also there.
She had to walk around so much that the exhibition master was too busy, so she sometimes helped with the exhibition herself and was busy all the time.
Fortunately, Yu Yin had the foresight to wear a pair of comfortable flat shoes. Otherwise, her legs would have been broken from walking.
At around eleven o'clock, the crisp sound of "ta-da-da..." high heels stepping on the ground was heard. Yu Yin looked up and saw her other friend and college roommate Mo Qianyao walking towards her in a swaying short skirt and high heels. She was a typical image of beauty that freezes people.
Xiang Yue is a fake wave, Mo Qianyao is a real wave, they pass through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on them.
Mo Qianyao is a customer manager at Yinyue Studio. She used to work in a large company. She felt that she would either become a soulless zombie under the constraints of various rules and regulations, or gradually become perverted due to repression.
When she told her friends that she was planning to quit her job and change her environment, Yu Yin extended an olive branch to her. She joined the studio only last year, and her number of clients has increased significantly since she joined.
Yu Yin stabilized the rear, Xiang Yue was responsible for curatorial design, and Mo Qianyao was in the front line to connect with clients. The triangle stability worked, and the studio gradually got back on track.
