However, the world is never short of people who regret things, and the hardest thing to buy is a remedy for regret!
At that moment, An Zhengrong suddenly wanted to go see An Yiruo's mother and see what she was doing. But then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't contacted them for a long time. The last time he contacted An Yiruo was to get her into Boss Xu's bed!
Looking back now, I realize what a terrible thing I've done! Why is it that people only wake up after experiencing profound sorrow?
As An Zhengrong sat on the steps reminiscing about the past, his cell phone rang in his suit pocket: "Hello."
"An Zhengrong, the child is gone, and you won't even look at me?" the woman on the other end of the phone said hysterically.
"The child is gone, what would I do there?"
"You... I want you to compensate me!" the woman declared, determined to fight for some real benefits.
"Compensation? None!"
"An Zhengrong, I got pregnant and had a miscarriage because of you, and I can never be a mother again. Shouldn't you compensate me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell your wife about this?" the woman threatened An Zhengrong.
“You’d better think it through before you go. Back then, you and I were only together because we each got what we needed. You gave me a son, and I provided you with a comfortable life in the organization. Now that bond is broken, and besides, I’m bankrupt and can’t compensate you.” An Zhengrong’s words, though unpleasant, were the truth.
"An Zhengrong, you bastard!" the woman roared angrily. If An Zhengrong were standing in front of her right now, she would definitely want to tear him to pieces!
"Out of humanitarian considerations, I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to your account later as financial compensation! After all, even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness, and I can't be too harsh. Consider it a way to help you recover," An Zhengrong said matter-of-factly on the other end of the phone. He felt that 100,000 yuan was already the greatest favor he could do for this woman.
"Ten thousand yuan, An Zhengrong, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" The woman was not satisfied with An Zhengrong's method of compensation.
"That's all. If you don't want it, you won't get a single penny. Oh, and you can also go and make a scene with Li Yushu, but you won't even get 100,000 yuan from her. You'd better think carefully before you answer me!" An Zhengrong's tone was laced with threat.
"Fine, 100,000 it is. Transfer it to my account right now." The woman gritted her teeth. Although she was unwilling, something was better than nothing!
"That's right. If you had listened to me earlier, none of that unpleasantness would have happened! Don't worry, the money will be transferred to your account," An Zhengrong said before hanging up the phone.
He opened his mobile banking app, entered his bank card number, and saw the words "transfer successful" on his phone. An Zhengrong put his phone back in his suit pocket, straightened his clothes, and returned to the An family villa with his usual arrogant demeanor.
"Where is Madam?" An Zhengrong asked the maid when he returned home and did not see Li Yushu.
"Sir, Madam has gone out and hasn't returned yet."
"They went out?" An Zhengrong asked, frowning slightly, somewhat displeased.
"Yes, sir. Madam has been going out quite often lately."
"Do you go out often? With whom?" An Zhengrong asked the maid more carefully after hearing that Li Yushu often went out.
"We don't know. Every day, Mrs. Li drives out alone. We don't know who she's with either."
"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy. Also, don't tell your wife about the things I asked you today," An Zhengrong said thoughtfully.
"Yes, sir."
An Zhengrong took the file folder back to his study, put it in the drawer under his desk, and locked it with a key. He didn't want to tell Li Yushu about the acquisition of An's Group so soon.
For some reason, he felt that Li Yushu had been acting strangely lately, unlike her usual self... but he couldn't quite put his finger on it!
Just as An Zhengrong was sitting in his study lost in thought, he heard Li Yushu's voice coming from downstairs: "Zhang Ma, pour me a glass of water."
Li Yushu was unaware that An Zhengrong had returned. She sat on the sofa in her high heels and said somewhat wearily.
"Madam, the water is here." Zhang Ma brought a water glass to Li Yushu and handed it to her.
"Hmm." Li Yushu took the water glass and took a sip. At this moment, Zhang Ma spoke again: "Madam, the master has returned and is in the study!"
"Is the master back?" Li Yushu asked, looking at the closed study door at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
"Yes, the master has been back for half an hour. He went straight to his study after he got back and hasn't come out since."
"Okay, I understand. Prepare a cup of tea that the gentleman likes, I'll bring it in in a bit," Li Yushu said to Zhang Ma.
"Yes, madam."
Li Yushu returned to her bedroom, changed her clothes, and then took the tray handed to her by Zhang Ma and knocked on the study door.
"Come in." An Zhengrong sat at his desk, his thoughts pulled back by the knocking on the door.
Li Yushu pushed open the door and walked over, handing An Zhengrong a teacup: "Husband, why are you home so early today?"
Li Yushu's slightly probing tone made An Zhengrong feel a little uncomfortable: "What, did coming back early cause you any trouble?"
"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? What could be wrong with me? I was just playing mahjong with my girlfriends to pass the time," Li Yushu said, temporarily dispelling An Zhengrong's doubts.
"You've had a tough time these past few years. But you can invite your girlfriends over when you have time. It's never as comfortable to have fun at home as it is outside."
An Zhengrong's words made Li Yushu, who was already feeling somewhat guilty, even more uneasy. Had he discovered something? At that moment, Li Yushu's heart was in her throat.
“Okay, I’ll ask them tomorrow. If they’re willing, I’ll invite them over. That way, I won’t have to go out!” Li Yushu agreed with An Zhengrong.
That night, both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and they slept back to back...
Meanwhile, at the Star Bay Apartments, Mo Jingchen went home on time as usual.
During the meal, Mo Jingchen handed An Yiruo a file folder: "An'an, open it and take a look."
"This is……?"
"Just open it and you'll see."
Looking at Mo Jingchen's mysterious expression, which also seemed to be waiting for praise, An Yiruo's curiosity prompted her to open the file folder.
Upon opening it, An Yiruo found a paper document inside. Confused, she looked at Mo Jingchen again.
