Chapter 72 A Single Cut in Two
Lin Xuesha continued to coax, "Of course it's true. You're my husband. How could I be with another man?"
Lin Xuesha pretended to be very sad, and a few tears fell.
She had to convince Zhou Mozheng of her story.
“If we hadn’t failed in our overseas investments and accumulated such huge foreign debts, how could I still have any dealings with Fu Shenyuan?”
Fearing that Zhou Mozheng wouldn't believe her, she tried her best to prove the credibility of her words.
"If I wanted to be with Fu Shenyuan, I could have accepted his proposal six years ago. The reason I rejected him and chose you is because I love you, Mo Zheng. You have to believe me, okay?"
Lin Xuesha mixed truths and lies, deliberately trying to confuse Zhou Mozheng.
She did indeed reject Fu Shenyuan's marriage proposal six years ago, but accepted Zhou Mozheng's proposal instead.
That was simply because at the time she felt that Fu Shenyuan couldn't compete with his second uncle, Fu Hongkai, and she looked down on a man who couldn't be in power.
If Fu Shenyuan had been the head of the Fu family back then, she would definitely have married him instead of giving him up.
Moreover, Zhou Mozheng was truly powerful at that time, practically ruling both the legitimate and criminal worlds, wielding immense influence. She had no reason not to choose the powerful Zhou Mozheng.
She thought that by following Zhou Mozheng, she could live the life of a wealthy wife she had always dreamed of.
Who could have imagined that Zhou Mozheng would be heavily in debt overnight, and that everything he owned would vanish in an instant?
Not only could she not become a wealthy wife, but she also ended up with huge debts and almost couldn't survive.
She absolutely cannot live in constant fear anymore.
Lin Xuesha's words moved Zhou Mozheng somewhat, and he gradually lowered his guard: "Then when will you be able to get his money?"
“It will happen soon. He and his wife will get divorced soon,” Lin Xuesha said. “He just gave me a set of diamond jewelry, which is still worth some money. You can take it to tide you over.”
Lin Xuesha took out a jewelry box from her bag and handed it to Zhou Mozheng.
It was the same set that Fu Shenyuan had given her before the competition a few days ago.
She was actually reluctant to take out this set of diamond jewelry, after all, it was a limited edition and she really liked it.
But in order to deceive Zhou Mozheng, she had no choice but to sacrifice the small for the greater good.
Zhou Mozheng's expression softened considerably after seeing the diamond jewelry: "Fu Shenyuan is truly devoted to you, so willing to spend money. No wonder you're his savior..."
Upon hearing the words "savior," Lin Xuesha, who had just felt relieved, felt a chill run down her spine again.
"Mo Zheng, let's not bring this up again..." Lin Xuesha felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say anything more.
Fu Shenyuan values being rescued back then more than anything else, which is why he has such a strong "white moonlight" filter for her.
If Zhou Mozheng were to let something slip, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhou Mozheng laughed fiercely: "You know in your heart what happened between you and Fu Shenyuan back then, and you also know whether you were his savior or not, so I won't say more. You understand."
Lin Xuesha naturally knew what Zhou Mozheng meant.
She and the Lin family had too many weaknesses that Zhou Mozheng had over them. If it weren't for that, she would definitely have tried every possible and forceful means to divorce Zhou Mozheng and cut all ties with him.
The reason she hasn't dared to divorce Zhou Mozheng yet is because of these incriminating pieces of information that could lead to her demise.
These incriminating facts must remain buried deep within Zhou Mozheng's heart, and absolutely must not be known to anyone.
She doesn't dare to provoke Zhou Mozheng, not even a little bit for the time being.
Once she becomes Mrs. Fu, she'll figure out how to deal with Zhou Mozheng.
But first, she has to get rid of that bitch Jiang Ranxing.
Lin Xuesha had no choice but to nod obediently, "I'll go get you a new glass. You can have some wine; this is your favorite whiskey."
Zhou Mozheng stared at her for a long time, until Lin Xuesha felt uneasy, before he finally nodded.
Lin Xuesha breathed a sigh of relief and got up to go outside to get a cup.
Soon, Lin Xuesha returned to the private room, followed by a waiter carrying the food.
Lin Xuesha said, "Mo Zheng, you must not have eaten yet. I had someone make some for you. Eat a little first."
Zhou Mozheng was indeed hungry, so he picked up a fork, forked a piece of fruit, and put it in his mouth.
While Zhou Mozheng was eating, Lin Xuesha secretly sprinkled the other half of the packet of white powder into the wine glass...
Lin Xuesha poured wine for Zhou Mozheng: "Mozheng, try this glass of wine."
Zhou Mozheng took the wine glass, and without further hesitation, drank it straight down.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Mozheng felt that he was not quite clear-headed, and the scenery in front of him was swaying.
He tried to stand up, but he couldn't control his body at all.
Zhou Mozheng slowly collapsed onto the sofa, uttering low murmurs.
Lin Xuesha then stood up and looked at Zhou Mozheng's dazed state. She chuckled and then called her assistant, Xiao Yu: "Come over, he's already passed out."
Lin Xuesha hung up the phone, leaned down, and brought her lips close to Zhou Mozheng's body.
A short while later, several fresh, red hickeys were imprinted on Zhou Mozheng's neck. Anyone who saw this would know that Zhou Mozheng had just been intimate with a woman.
Lin Xuesha then pressed her lip print onto Zhou Mozheng's collar.
After Lin Xuesha finished doing all this, she sat to the side and waited for Xiao Yu to come over.
Xiao Yu was nearby, so he arrived quickly; Lin Xuesha had already spoken to him beforehand.
Xiao Yu looked at the dazed man on the sofa, reached out and picked him up.
Lin Xuesha handed Xiao Yu a silver-white key.
That was the key to Jiang Ranxing's house in Binhai.
Lin Xuesha had just obtained a copy not long ago.
"President Lin, is this the key to that house?" Xiao Yu didn't actually know whose house it was, but he would do anything Lin Xuesha asked him to do unconditionally.
“That’s right,” Lin Xuesha said. “You just need to put him in the master bedroom of that house, and you don’t need to worry about anything else. I will give you a bonus.”
Lin Xuesha leaned closer to Xiao Yu and planted a sweet kiss on Xiao Yu's cheek.
Xiao Yu suddenly felt incredibly hot all over, and his heart was filled with sweetness. It seemed that everything he did for Lin Xuesha was worthwhile and he was willing to do it.
Xiao Yu replied, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll send him over right away."
After saying that, Xiao Yu carried Zhou Mozheng out of the private room.
Lin Xuesha followed her out, and watched Xiao Yu disappear around the corner of the corridor. She scoffed, picked up her bag without a second thought, and left.
She took out her phone and called Fu Shenyuan.
"Shen Yuan, are you done with your work? I'll come to the company to find you, and then we can go to Ranxing to see Yiyi together. I want to take Yiyi to see an animated movie."
Fu Shenyuan's pleasant voice came through the phone: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you in my office on the top floor."
Lin Xuesha smiled and hung up the phone, then drove towards the Fu Group.
Whether it's Jiang Ranxing herself or the child in her womb, she wants to ensure that they and Fu Shenyuan will never have any chance to be together again.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ranxing was unaware that a conspiracy concerning her, one that could severely damage her, was quietly unfolding.
