Chapter 164 Treating the Toilet as a Treasure
"Next Wednesday is the hearing for my divorce case with Li Jingshen, and I need you to testify in court." Shen Zhichu stated his purpose directly.
Shen Zhichu pondered over this short sentence over and over for the entire afternoon, and asked Xia Mingyue to testify in court that Li Jingshen had cheated on her. This kind of thing was funny no matter how she thought about it.
"What are you testifying for?" Xia Mingyue asked.
Shen Zhichu: "It proves that Li Jingshen has been with you for the past four years."
"Do you want me to testify in court that Jing Shen cheated?"
"Um."
"Chen Zhichu, are you sick?" Xia Mingyue cursed after a while. If she was asked to go to court to prove that Li Jingshen had cheated on her, wouldn't that mean she was telling everyone that she was a mistress?
Shen Zhichu tried to negotiate with Xia Mingyue and said, "Don't you want to marry Li Jingshen? Only if you can testify for me, then when Li Jingshen and I divorce, you can take over."
“Chen Zhichu, are you here to show off to me?”
Shen Zhichu choked. God knows, she was telling the truth and was really discussing and giving her suggestions. How come she was bragging?
Shen Zhichu added: "I didn't brag to you, I just wanted to divorce Li Jingshen. I think you two are a good match and I want to bless you from the bottom of my heart."
Shen Zhichu tried to persuade him by appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him.
Xia Mingyue obviously didn't believe it and thought Shen Zhichu was trying to trick her. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
"What?"
"Don't you just want Jing Shen to be the party at fault so that you can get a lot of property?" Li Jing Shen has so much property under his name, and Shen Zhichu doesn't know how much of it will be taken away. Xia Mingyue doesn't want her to take any advantage.
Shen Zhichu was speechless listening to her confusing words, and laughed out loud: "I only want a divorce from him for no money."
"Who would believe you!" Xia Mingyue sneered, "Chen Zhichu, you think too highly of yourself. Do you really think Jing Shen will tie you up for the rest of your life and never divorce you?"
"Then when do you think he will divorce me? Xia Mingyue, I am not like you. I can't just squat in the same toilet once and think it's my own."
Xia Mingyue's face turned cold, and she held the phone tightly: "Who are you scolding?"
Chen Zhichu covered his mouth and burst out laughing, his smile full of sarcasm. "Don't worry about who I'm scolding. I just want to tell you that you treat the toilet as a treasure. Others are different. I also want to remind you not to be too confident. If Li Jingshen really treated you as a treasure, he would have married you a long time ago. Did you read the comments under the trending search a while ago? If he loved you, how could he bear to see you being called a mistress by netizens?"
Xia Mingyue retorted sharply, "I'm not a mistress! According to the first-come-first-served principle, you're the vixen!"
Shen Zhichu held the phone away. They could even start an argument on the phone. She really overestimated Xia Mingyue's character. She looked like an aunt in the vegetable market.
After knowing that he couldn’t talk to her clearly, Shen Zhichu hung up the call directly.
Xia Mingyue cursed into the phone for a while, and when she heard the phone was silent, she thought the other party was scared. But when she put it down, she saw a black screen. She didn't know when Chen Zhichu had hung up the call.
She smashed the phone and cursed with a grin: "Bitch!"
Xia Mingyue was so angry that her heart ached. Aunt Wang heard the noise coming from upstairs, so she went upstairs cautiously and knocked on the door tentatively.
"Miss Xia, are you awake? The meal is ready."
Xia Mingyue calmed down her anger, picked up the phone on the ground, and replied, "Okay, I'll be down right away."
Xia Mingyue opened the cupboard and found a coat to put on to cover the marks on her chest. She opened her phone and returned to the text message page.
Looking at the subpoena, an idea came to Xia Mingyue's mind.
………
The next morning, Xia Mingyue called Li Jingshen, but he didn't answer, so she called Zhao Qian again.
Zhao Qian answered the call and replied, "Mr. Li has an important meeting today. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. How about another day?"
"I can wait for him, no matter how late it is. I have something important to tell him."
"Then wait a minute, I'll ask Mr. Li what he thinks first."
After waiting for a while until the afternoon, Zhao Qian still didn't reply, and Xia Mingyue realized that Li Jingshen didn't want to see her at all.
She had finally waited for the news that he and Shen Zhichu were getting a divorce, and she didn't want to give up just like that.
Xia Mingyue took a taxi directly to North City. She didn't have the key here and the password on the gate had been changed. She couldn't get in and could only wait outside the door like a pug.
The weather has cooled down in the past two days, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. She didn't feel anything when she came, but she felt the cold when it gradually got dark.
She was wearing a long skirt and carrying a bag, but she didn't bring a coat. The sky was foggy and there was not a single star. It was obviously going to rain in such weather. Xia Mingyue took out her cell phone and looked at the weather forecast, and sure enough, she saw that it was going to rain.
Xia Mingyue rubbed her shoulders and sat on an open-air lounge chair. At eight o'clock in the evening, it started to drizzle, and she had to move under the eaves to shelter from the rain while waiting for someone.
Xia Mingyue was shivering from the cold. The drizzle mixed with the slanting wind could not block much of the rain for her to hide under the eaves. In order to keep warm, Xia Mingyue had to squat down.
She waited for more than an hour. It was almost ten o'clock. A ray of light shone from a distance. Xia Mingyue's eyes lit up and she stood up hurriedly to tidy up her hair and long skirt.
The car stopped at the gate. Xia Mingyue chased after it and saw the iron bars open. She hurriedly called out, "Depth of field!"
The driver who was driving heard the sound, looked in the rearview mirror, and was almost scared to death. In the dim light, there was a woman in white clothes, with disheveled hair and a face as pale as paper under the street light.
"Boss Li, there seems to be a woman calling you from behind."
Li Jingshen slightly frowned, his eyes as arrogant and cold as ever. He glanced back and his frown deepened.
Why is Xia Mingyue here?
