Chapter 56 The BOSS is enraged
Lu's Office, CEO's Office.
Lu Yanchuan had just finished a meeting and was sitting in his office with a rather unpleasant expression.
"Shen Li hasn't been home for two days. He's been staying in some damn brothel."
It's easy to hear Lu Yanchuan's gritted teeth from his voice and words.
"Brother Chuan, please be more precise with your wording. It's 'kiln site,' not 'brothel.' Don't change the color of your hat randomly," Xin Yang quickly said.
Lu Yanchuan glanced at him and said, "Get lost!"
Xin Yang sat opposite him with a forced smile, "Brother Chuan, a small act of impatience can ruin a big plan. You can't always be so forceful. Su Yi, you agree, right?"
Su Yi sat beside him, his handsome and refined appearance evident in his long legs crossed. He had initially seemed indifferent, but being suddenly called out, he appeared somewhat bewildered. "Hmm?"
“Let’s also try to persuade Brother Chuan,” Xin Yang said.
“Maybe things aren’t that complicated.” Su Yi thought for a moment and looked at Lu Yanchuan. “Maybe Shen Li just wants a divorce.”
Lu Yanchuan: "..."
Xin Yang watched from the side and felt that Lu Yanchuan had already cursed Su Yi with countless swear words in his mind.
Su Yi looked down at the document on the table. "I'm not trying to be mean, but I really dislike saying 'See, I told you so long ago,' but Ah Chuan, I really did tell you so long ago."
Lu Yanchuan's previously angry expression suddenly darkened, and he remained silent.
Indeed, Su Yi had said that before.
Lu Yanchuan still remembers Su Yi's exact words.
At that time, he was still very arrogant and unruly, and had a natural aversion to this arranged marriage, which also meant he didn't have any good feelings towards Shen Li.
He also said that since Shen Li was so easily manipulated by him, she definitely wouldn't agree to a divorce when the agreed-upon time came.
I never imagined that the roles would be completely reversed today.
Su Yi had said at the time, 'I think Shen Li is quite stable; if she's unwilling, she might not be bound by the agreement.'
She also said, 'Yanchuan, don't court death. Live a good life, and at least you'll have a clear conscience later.'
Seeing his old friend remain silent, Su Yi felt a pang of sympathy. "She's probably staying in a studio for the upcoming pottery competition. The pieces for the competition will need to undergo many adjustments and may need to be fired many times. Without a kiln, it definitely won't work."
Lu Yanchuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I'll have someone build one for her."
"..." Su Yi didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Lu Yanchuan said, "I know, I won't bother her."
He looked down at the documents. "Do you think I want to talk to her? I'm busy!"
This was the first time Xin Yang had ever seen his brother Chuan so obviously stubborn.
Xin Yang almost couldn't hold back his smile.
Before Xin Yang could even control her expression, Lu Yanchuan's phone rang.
Xin Yang craned his neck to glance at the screen, thinking it was his sister-in-law calling, but it wasn't.
Instead, it was Brother Chuan's most hated father-in-law.
When Lu Yanchuan saw the name Shen Wenzhong light up on the screen, he felt a surge of disgust.
But he answered the call anyway, so as not to bother Chen Li.
Realizing this, Lu Yanchuan suddenly understood. He had always known that if he ignored Shen Wenzhong, Shen Wenzhong would inevitably harass Shen Li...
I know this perfectly well, but over the years, I've just been too lazy to answer the questions, and I won't answer them if they annoy me.
Time and again, he dumped these troubles that he was unwilling to bear or face onto Shen Li.
It's not just Shen Wenzhong, and it's not just the Shen family.
The same applies to the Lu family's side.
Shen Li almost never complained to him, or perhaps she had tried.
But his disgusted attitude was even more discouraging, and later... she probably never tried again.
"...Hello? Hello? Can you hear me, Mr. Lu?" Shen Wenzhong called out from the other end of the line because he couldn't hear Lu Yanchuan's voice.
Lu Yanchuan snapped out of his reverie, his voice flat and emotionless, "What is it?"
"President Lu, did Lili not tell you?" Shen Wenzhong's voice on the other end was clearly obsequious.
Upon hearing Shen Wenzhong mention Shen Li, Lu Yanchuan frowned and said, "Speak your mind."
"Hey, I asked Lili to bring you back for dinner today. I was worried she might forget to tell you. Did you know about this?" Shen Wenzhong asked.
He wasn't worried that Shen Li forgot to tell Lu Yanchuan.
He knew that Shen Li would definitely not tell Lu Yanchuan, so he deliberately made this call to tell him.
Lu Yanchuan frowned. Even though he disliked Shen Wenzhong, he inexplicably didn't intend to refuse the invitation.
He frowned and said, "I understand."
"Mr. Lu, see you at dinner! You'll be coming, right?" Shen Wenzhong said on the other end of the line.
There was a very faint sound nearby, a rustling sound as if someone was talking to Shen Wenzhong.
Then, as if he had just remembered something, Shen Wenzhong quickly said, "Oh right, Mr. Lu, today is Lili's birthday, you must come!"
Lu Yanchuan was taken aback. Is today... Shen Li's birthday?
After ending the call, Xin Yang looked at the dazed expression on his face and asked worriedly, "Brother Chuan, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Lu Yanchuan didn't have time to deal with him right now, so he raised his chin at Su Yi and said, "Take him away, please."
Su Yi laughed, "Okay."
Then he got up and dragged Xin Yang away, Xin Yang's voice still drifting further and further away, "Hey, let go of me, Su Yi! I haven't finished listening to the commotion yet!"
Lu Yanchuan pressed the intercom and called Zhou Yan in.
"Mr. Lu, what are your instructions?"
"Do I have a copy of my marriage certificate? I remember Shen Li's birthday isn't today," Lu Yanchuan asked.
Zhou Yan quickly checked and soon got the answer: "Your wife's Gregorian calendar birthday is indeed not today; it has already passed. But today is your wife's lunar calendar birthday."
"The lunar calendar?" Lu Yanchuan asked. "Doesn't she use it?"
Zhou Yan nodded. "I checked and found that when my wife was young, her mother took her to celebrate her birthday when they were in a car accident. Her mother burned to death on the spot."
Zhou Yan's voice carried a hint of a sigh, "I think anyone who has experienced something like this would never want to live like this again."
This is... the anniversary of my mother's death.
“Who would celebrate their own birthday on the anniversary of their mother’s death? How could they possibly be happy?” Zhou Yan remarked with emotion.
Then he heard his boss's furious voice, "How can Shen Wenzhong be happy! That old bastard Shen Wenzhong! I think he's quite happy! I don't think he's even remembered the anniversary of his first wife's death. He was just laughing and joking with me on the phone!"
Zhou Yan: "..." Although he knew that President Lu was not a good-tempered person, and sometimes his mouth was like poison.
However, such violent and angry outbursts are rare.
Zhou Yan could only cautiously offer a word of advice, "President Lu, don't be angry."
Lu Yanchuan composed himself for a moment before asking, "Where is her mother buried?"
