Chapter 87 Why did you provoke him?
After Shen Li gave Qu Xiang this inspiration over the phone, Qu Xiang immediately stopped worrying about the relationship issues she had been discussing with Shen Li.
After ending the call, Shen Li looked at the line drawing that had already taken shape on the drawing paper.
The more I look at it, the more it seems to resemble an urn.
Shen Li stared at the urn on the drawing for a long time, frowned, and wrote three words heavily on the urn with resentment—Shen Wenzhong!
If, if it really was Shen Wenzhong who caused my mother's car accident! He would never atone for his sins, even if he didn't die!
After writing her name, Shen Li crumpled the drawing paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
In the following days, Shen Li immersed herself in pottery making, completely oblivious to the passage of time.
Every day I take the takeout boxes out to throw them away.
We've never lived like this in five years of marriage. We're always thinking about healthy eating and we cook for ourselves a lot of the time.
I rarely order takeout, so I only realized how enjoyable it is these past few days when I did.
Several major cuisines are available for you to choose from, and they taste great and are convenient.
It completely eliminates the cooking dilemma for people living alone: small portions are difficult to prepare, while large portions are uneaten.
You don't even need to go out.
After a few days, Shen Li realized that even though she created ceramic works every day and did all the procedures herself, she was still quite tired.
Why do I feel like I've gained weight?
Shen Li stared at herself in the mirror, utterly incredulous.
Qu Xiang said, "This is the power of food delivery. If you eat a little more, you'll be ready for market!"
"How could this be..." Shen Li pinched her cheeks, feeling as if they were chubbyer than before.
"Alright, get ready, I'm coming to pick you up now," Qu Xiang said.
Shen Li was confused. "Pick me up? Pick me up where?"
Qu Xiang was speechless. "A class reunion! Celebrating Lao Jin's birthday! Have you lost your sense of time?"
"Oh right!" Shen Li suddenly realized that she had indeed been a bit confused these past few days, and felt as if she could instantly empathize with and understand those office workers rushing to meet deadlines at the end of the month.
Shen Li went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Qu Xiang arrived around the same time she finished.
"Come out, I've arrived."
Shen Li went out before her hair was even completely dry, after changing into a soft cotton dress.
She looks exceptionally gentle and well-behaved.
"Where are we going?" Shen Li asked as soon as they got in the car. "Is the party starting this early? Old Jin shouldn't be so old that he can't handle a night out, right?"
Qu Xiang glanced at her sideways and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll take you to the salon for a makeover."
Qu Xiang looked her up and down. "You're not planning to go to the party like this, are you?"
Shen Li adjusted her dress. "It's not so bad, is it? This one cost over 20,000 yuan..."
Married for five years, Lu Yanchuan never talked about feelings with her, and his attitude towards her was always the same old awful.
But in other respects, they didn't mistreat her. Every quarter, those well-known brands would send her the latest seasonal designs on time.
Shen Li doesn't care about the price of her clothes or whether the style is new or not; she just chooses clothes that are comfortable.
Therefore, she favors materials such as silk, pure cotton, and linen.
Qu Xiang: "..." What a little rich girl.
But Qu Xiang felt that since they were going to the 'battlefield' to clash head-on with those Onmyoji, what they needed was presence!
Shen Li's cotton dress makes her look very non-threatening.
Hearing Qu Xiang's idea, Shen Li thought to herself, "Wouldn't I look more imposing if I wore a judo uniform?"
But she didn't dare say this to Qu Xiang and obediently went to the salon.
At the entrance of the studio complex, a man yawned, rubbed his eyes, and slowly followed Qu Xiang's car from the driver's seat of a black car.
He casually made a phone call.
"Boss, this is Tang Yao," Tang Yao said into the phone. "Your wife has finally left the house."
There was a meeting going on on the other end, and the background noise from the meeting room quickly subsided.
Only Lu Yanchuan's deep voice came through, "Where did she go?"
Tang Yao said, "President Qu came to pick us up. We don't know where we're going yet, but I went with him."
"Tell me later." After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanchuan looked at the Lu family members sitting around the conference table, their faces full of insincere smiles and ill intentions.
They claim to be relatives, but in reality, they just want to remove him from his position.
A young, handsome man, with a half-smile in his eyes that held a deep-seated malice, looked at Lu Yanchuan.
"Brother, you're the one who set the rule that personal calls aren't allowed during meetings. What you're doing isn't appropriate, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchuan, who had already lowered his gaze to look at the documents on the tablet, didn't even bother to lift it up.
They didn't even glance at them.
"Lu Mingyi, mind your own business." Lu Yanchuan's voice was particularly cold.
Then he casually added, "Yes, I set the rules. Since I can set rules, I can naturally change them. So I'll change it to: during the meeting, no one except me is allowed to take personal phone calls. Is that alright?"
"This is the first time I've seen a subordinate try to use rules to control their boss." Lu Yanchuan then slightly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Mingyi. "You're really interesting."
Lu Mingyi's face suddenly darkened!
After saying this, Lu Yanchuan casually placed the tablet on the table with a thud.
"Take it back and redo it. There's clearly something fishy going on, yet you still want my signature and the funds. At least have your people make the proposal look presentable. You can't even be bothered to give me a perfunctory response?"
Lu Yanchuan scoffed, "What? Do I look like something stupid?"
Lu Mingyi's expression darkened further, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "I'll have them... redo it and bring it to you again."
Lu Yanchuan stood up. "No need to give it to me. I don't have time to waste on your nonsense. Give it to Zhou Yan. We'll deal with Zhou Yan later."
Seeing Lu Yanchuan preparing to leave, Lu Mingyi suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "Mr. Lu, I think it's necessary to announce to us that you and your wife are getting a divorce?"
Lu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow, slightly lifted his chin, and looked down at Lu Mingyi.
"What? You're hiding under my bed? You know better than I do whether I'm getting a divorce or not?"
Zhou Yan stood to the side, keeping his eyes downcast, thinking to himself, "Mr. Lu Mingyi, why did you provoke our CEO Lu for no reason? In front of so many people... do you really think he'll give you any face?"
Sure enough, Lu Yanchuan continued, "I just took a private phone call related to my wife, and you're complaining about me taking private calls again. Now you're saying my wife and I are getting a divorce. How come you have so much free time?"
"Instead of wasting time keeping a close eye on your subordinates and making their fraud reports look better, why don't you use that time to clean my shoes and cook a couple of nice dishes?"
After saying this, Lu Yanchuan gave him a cold look. "Stop staring at me and mind your own business. If you keep focusing on my private affairs, I might let you off the hook. Your brother is keeping a mistress, a male celebrity, and he's been going to the dermatology clinic frequently since then."
"You don't think these trivial matters are some kind of secret that nobody knows, do you?"
