Chapter 39 You can tell him to divorce me quickly.
Shen Li's reaction startled Song Xiaowan, "..."
Even Zhu Qinghui was surprised by Shen Li's attitude, probably because she had long been used to Shen Li's calm and docile demeanor, which was almost submissive, over the past five years.
Shen Li's smile remained unchanged, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"I don't know where you learned this line of reasoning, it's quite good at moral blackmail. But you've come to the wrong person. If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for? Your line of reasoning won't work on me."
Shen Li gestured with her chin toward the door and suggested, "Why don't you try this line of dialogue with Lu Yanchuan? I feel it would work better than it does with me."
Sha Jinpeng realized that his good intentions had backfired and that today's event was a complete disaster! He quickly smiled apologetically at everyone and took his leave with Song Xiaowan.
Before Song Xiaowan left, Shen Li glanced at her and met her pitiful eyes.
In those eyes, I saw a deep-seated ruthlessness and malice.
After they left, Shen Li glanced at Zhu Qinghui, her gaze lingering on Zhu Qinghui's hand that was still holding her arm.
"The problem is solved, can I leave now?" Shen Li asked.
Zhu Qinghui glared at her, sensing the awkward atmosphere, and squeezed out a voice through gritted teeth, "You call this solving the problem?"
Not only did she not loosen her grip on Shen Li, but she also seemed to be pushing forward, her fingertips almost digging into Shen Li's flesh.
Shen Li frowned slightly, raised her hand and grasped Zhu Qinghui's wrist, applying pressure little by little.
Zhu Qinghui's expression changed slightly; she finally couldn't hold on any longer and relaxed, "You...!"
Shen Li looked at her, "This is how I solve problems. If you're not satisfied..."
Shen Li leaned slightly closer to her ear and said, "You could have solved it yourself. Or if you couldn't solve the problem, you could have dealt with the person who caused it."
Zhu Qinghui was completely baffled. "Did something happen to you? Why are you acting so strangely?"
Shen Li felt that Zhu Qinghui might be trying to say that she was sick.
"I've always been like this. I just put up with it before, but I can't stand you anymore."
Shen Li's lips curved into a smile, her already beautiful face revealing a hint of cunning and liveliness. "You can't stand it? I can give you a suggestion."
Just like she had said to Song Xiaowan before, Shen Li raised her chin toward the door and said, "You can go and complain to Lu Yanchuan and tell him to divorce me as soon as possible."
After Shen Li finished speaking, he looked at the others and said, "Please take your seats, everyone. I'll excuse myself now."
As Shen Li walked out of the door, she ran into Lan Zhili, who was peeking out from outside.
"Miss Lan."
Lan Zhili's eyes sparkled. "I originally came to rescue you, but I didn't expect you to be so domineering just now!"
Shen Li smiled. "By the way, Miss Lan, could I take a look at today's auction list?"
"Oh! Of course!" Lan Zhili took out her phone and opened it. On the screen was a picture of a very handsome man.
Shen Li looked at that familiar face with a hint of arrogance and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Lan Zhili was a little embarrassed when she was seen using her idol's photo as her phone wallpaper, so she quickly locked the screen and simply pulled Shen Li away.
"I'll take you directly to the auction item warehouse."
No sooner had they left than Zhu Qinghui came out, looking displeased, and stopped a waiter to ask where Lu Yanchuan was.
Then I went straight there.
Lu Yanchuan was playing cards in the ship's entertainment room. It wasn't gambling, but a charity gala. Every chip lost in the entertainment room required a check for the same amount to be donated.
He absentmindedly pushed the stack of chips in front of him out to place his bet.
Sha Jinpeng stood beside him with a forced smile, briefly recounted what had just happened, and then apologized to Lu Yanchuan.
"Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that Xiaowan and Mrs. Lu had any unpleasant past."
The chips in Lu Yanchuan's hand clinked together with a crisp sound.
His previously absent-minded, spirited eyes now held a hint of interest. "Oh? She's angry?"
Sha Jinpeng: "Yes."
Why did you provoke her in the first place?
Lu Yanchuan's voice was somewhat lazy, his eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile.
Sha Jinpeng wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that President Lu didn’t seem angry at all; in fact, his expression seemed to show a hint of smugness.
Sha Jinpeng apologized again, "I'm really sorry, I will find another opportunity to apologize to Mrs. Lu in person later."
After Sha Jinpeng apologized and left, Xin Yang approached him and asked, "Brother Chuan, why are you happy that your wife is angry?"
Lu Yanchuan glanced at him, said nothing, and casually tossed some more chips forward.
"See? I told you you loved it." Xin Yang grinned. "What kind of 'anger means caring' game is this now?"
"Get lost." Lu Yanchuan casually grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into Xin Yang's mouth.
Xin Yang chewed on his cake and mumbled, "If you ask me, you should coax your sister-in-law when she's angry; it'll be a good way to strengthen your relationship."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchuan glanced at Xin Yang and said, "You're getting more and more clever."
“I learned it from Su Yi,” Xin Yang said with a smile.
Lu Yanchuan stood up and pushed the chips to him, "You can continue playing."
Xin Yang seemed to know what he was going to do, and waved his hand at him, "I know, I know, go and coax your sister-in-law."
Lu Yanchuan had just stepped out of the recreation room when he bumped into Zhu Qinghui, who was walking over in a hurry.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yanchuan looked displeased, clearly still harboring resentment over Zhu Qinghui taking Shen Li away earlier.
"What kind of attitude is this? I'm your mother, do I need a reason to come see you?" Zhu Qinghui said unhappily.
"And her?" Lu Yanchuan asked calmly.
Zhu Qinghui snorted coldly, "Who knows about your little girlfriend..."
Lu Yanchuan: "I'm asking about Shen Li!"
"Heh, your wife is even more interesting," Zhu Qinghui said coldly. "Is she under some kind of spell? She's becoming more and more abnormal."
Lu Yanchuan: "Abnormal? Then what do you mean by normal? You're telling me to go to the reproductive center for egg retrieval surgery, and that's normal?"
Zhu Qinghui's expression changed drastically. "Wasn't I doing all that for your own good?! You've been married for five years and there's not a single sign of pregnancy, and you two are even talking about divorce!"
"What? Do you really want to drag this out until we get a divorce?" Zhu Qinghui glared at him. "Don't forget how many people are eyeing your businesses and assets! And don't forget how many people are waiting for you to make a mistake so they can pull you down from your current position!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchuan remained silent with a cold expression.
"Oh right, you even took her to see the old lady? What good did it do?" Zhu Qinghui sneered. "You think I wanted to come to you? She sent me."
Lu Yanchuan frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
"She said she can't stand us anymore, and she told me to come and complain to you, so you can divorce her right away!"
