After Shen Fu said goodbye, he hurriedly left with Yi Yue.
Long Batian felt a great sense of relief once his figure disappeared from sight.
He regained his breathing.
The sword hanging over his neck seemed to have disappeared with Shen Fu's departure.
Realizing he had lost his composure, Long Batian asked Director Zhou with annoyance, "Between me and Shen Fu, who do you think is more capable?"
President Zhou is naturally a shrewd person.
Without hesitation, he flattered her, saying, "Of course it's President Long! Whether it's appearance, aura, or even name, President Long is top-notch! How could Shen Fu be qualified to be compared to you?"
The people around him also chimed in and flattered him.
Long Batian then regained his initial smug look.
That's true.
He's just a nameless supporting character, but with the protagonist's halo in his hands, he'll one day crush Shen Fu under his feet!
When that time comes...
...
Suddenly, Ning Wan came to Long Batian's mind.
That woman, so beautiful and delicate, like a flower.
I wonder if she cries under the covers in the dead of night, regretting her poor judgment in choosing the wrong man.
The desire to see Ning Wan was amplified to an extreme at this moment.
After depositing the money at the bank, Long Batian rushed to the kindergarten. It was just after school let out, and many parents had already gathered at the school gate.
Among the crowd, he immediately spotted the eye-catching Ning Wan.
At that moment, Ning Wan was chatting with Jiang Zhiruo and did not notice Long Batian approaching.
The moment that greasy voice rang out, both of them instantly got goosebumps.
"Hi, two beautiful ladies, good afternoon!"
...
Long Batian wore a confident and charming smile.
Everyone around him says he looks most handsome from this angle!
...
Ning Wan didn't even spare a glance, and silently moved a few steps away.
Long Batian, shameless as ever, followed closely behind.
He could see Ning Wan's resistance to him, but so what?
Now he's powerful and influential, no longer the aimless office worker he once was. No one can bow down to him; if someone does, it's definitely an act!
...
Long Batian brushed his bangs aside, casually revealing his 250,000 yuan worth of workhorse: "It feels like the weather is getting hotter and hotter lately..."
Ning Wan and Jiang Zhiruo chatted and laughed.
Long Batian straightened his cuffs again, feigning annoyance: "What's this thing in my hand that's so uncomfortable?"
Ning Wan and Jiang Zhiruo had a very pleasant conversation.
Long Batian rolled up his sleeves, feigning ignorance, and asked, "What time is it? There are so many parents picking up their kids today..."
The school gates opened, and Ning Wan and Jiang Zhiruo turned and left together.
Seeing this, Long Batian, unwilling to give up, jogged after him.
As he ran, he kept chattering, "Guess who I ran into when I went to the bank to deposit 800,000 today?"
"It's called 'recovery'."
As expected, Ning Wan finally reacted upon hearing Shen Fu's name.
She stopped and rolled her eyes at him.
The moment their eyes met, Long Batian appeared unusually excited: "I had too much spare cash lately, so I went to Yuncheng Development Bank to deposit and invest. You know President Zhou, right? He was so enthusiastic towards me... We were having a great chat when I turned around and saw Shen Fu walking out of Mingzhu Bank next door."
"Do you know Mingzhu Bank? It's that old, run-down bank that's about to go bankrupt. What kind of loans can you get there..."
"loan?"
Seeing that Ning Wan was finally willing to chat with him, Long Batian was overjoyed. But on the surface, he still pretended to be regretful.
"Actually, I've heard quite a bit about the recent news. Sigh..." He sighed deeply, then commented, "Shen Fu is quite capable, and I have high hopes for him. It's just a pity that he's not pragmatic enough."
“If necessary, I really would like to help Shen Fu. After all, I can’t refuse for Miss Ning’s sake…” Long Batian took the initiative to suggest, “If it’s alright, Miss Ning, would you like to have dinner with me and discuss what to eat tonight?”
...
Ning Wan couldn't help but turn her head to look at Long Batian.
Her gaze lingered on his face for a long, long time. Finally, she couldn't hold back and blurted out, "Are you dreaming?"
Long Batian's face, which had been slightly shy, turned pale in an instant.
But soon, anger gradually tinged it with a comical red.
He was furious and embarrassed: "Ning Wan, you need to understand, I said Shen Fu has already taken out a loan! He's about to go bankrupt, he's about to be broke, he's about to become a pauper!"
"So what?" Ning Wan said nonchalantly, "When I met him, he was already collecting scraps."
"you……"
Long Batian wanted to retort again, but Ning Wan continued to stab him in the back: "Is there a tumor on your head? You like meddling in other people's business so much. When the manure truck passes by your house, are you going to pick up your sister-in-law and taste her for saltiness?"
"Instead of wasting time on these fancy things outside, you should go back and care more about your wife and children."
After saying this, Ning Wan ignored Long Batian's next reaction.
He took Jiang Zhiruo's hand and walked towards the kindergarten...
...
Long Aotian appeared particularly dejected when he saw Long Batian.
Actually, he would prefer his mother to pick him up from school.
But seeing the ugly expression on Long Batian's face, which shifted between red, orange, yellow, and green, he was so frightened that he dared not speak.
When he got home, the humiliation he felt from Ning Wan erupted instantly.
Long Batian smashed everything in the house. He then deliberately picked fights, humiliating and verbally abusing Li Chuting.
Li Chuting silently endured it all.
She waited until Long Batian got upset and went out for a drink before carefully cleaning up the mess on the floor.
Long Aotian wanted to help, but Li Chuting ordered him to stop: "They're all broken glass, it's dangerous."
Long Aotian countered, "Then for Mom, broken glass isn't dangerous?"
Li Chuting pursed her lips and did not answer.
Long Aotian suddenly walked over and hugged her: "Mom, you should divorce Dad."
Li Chuting was stunned.
A stiff smile tugged at the corners of her mouth: "What nonsense are you spouting..."
"Mom, you should divorce Dad. I want to live with you!" Long Aotian repeated, "I know you're staying in this family for my sake, but I want you to be happy."
Looking at her sensible son, Li Chuting couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat: "If Mom and Dad get divorced, we might not be able to afford McDonald's or Pizza Hut."
“None of that matters. What matters is Mom,” Long Aotian said. “As long as I can be with Mom, I’m not afraid of anything.”
The child's support solidified Li Chuting's resolve.
She hugged her child tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Fine, let's get a divorce!"
