Lei Ting: "When you were at home, you always tried to please her. Grandma liked you the most, even more than she liked my mom."
Anning: "Should we call Mom too?"
Lei Ting: "They've been busy with business these past few days! They haven't had time for us. Mom and Dad have had a tough time while I was away..."
Anning: "Your parents work so hard, why don't you go back and help them?"
Thunder: "No, Anning... don't send me away..."
Anning: "I didn't kick you out, hehe. Now that I'm all dressed up, I'll take you to my company so they can get to know you, okay?"
Thunder: "I couldn't be happier. I'm going to change. Wait for me."
Anning: "Which clothes are you wearing?"
Thunder: "Wear my black robe with diagonal placket and Chinese knot buttons. You once said I looked really handsome in it."
An Ning: "Hehe, okay."
The weather in Niujin City was warm, and people rarely wore thick clothes. Lei Ting's thickest garment was a Zhongshan suit jacket. He changed clothes as if bathed in a gentle breeze. After dressing, Lei Ting came to An Ning and waited for his feedback. Sure enough, Lei Ting looked even more handsome in the black robe, and the coiled dragon pattern on his chest enhanced his noble air.
An Ning: "He really is handsome..."
Lei Ting: "That's right, don't you know whose husband he is? Let's go, I've called a housekeeper to clean the house. There will be a new surprise when we come back tonight."
An Ning: "There's another surprise? What surprise?"
Thunder: "A surprise isn't a surprise if you tell it."
Anning: "Hehe, okay, you're calling..."
Lei Ting's phone suddenly rang. He saw it was an unfamiliar number from China. Who could it be? After thinking for a moment, Lei Ting answered.
Thunder: "Hello..."
Zhu Jing: "Is it Thunder?"
Thunder: "Yes, that's me. And who are you?"
Zhu Jing: "Lei Ting, this is Zhu Jing."
Lei Ting: "Zhu Jing? Uncle Zhu Lu's youngest daughter? Zhu Jing?"
Zhu Jing: "Yes, Lei Ting, you still remember me. We were only one class apart in high school, both in the elite class. I was in the elite class 2, and you were in class 1."
Thunder: "Oh, what's up?"
Zhu Jing: "I...you're divorced, right?"
Thunder: "No, that's a rumor."
Zhu Jing: "That's not right! I checked Fengtian's surveillance system, and your wife An Ning hasn't appeared in Fengtian for a long time. She went abroad and divorced you. Moreover, I found out that you two got a divorce certificate."
Thunder: "What's it to you? Why are you using Tianyancha to investigate us?"
Lei Ting was somewhat angry. Zhu Jing's family owned nearly half of the grain business in Northeast China. Her father, Zhu Lu, was a classmate of Lei Zhenyu and Yu Li. Zhu Jing and Lei Ting were also classmates. Zhu Jing liked Lei Ting very much, ever since she was a child. She often asked Zhu Lu to take her to the Lei family to make her presence known to Lei Ting. Zhu Lu and Lei Zhenyu had tried to matchmake Lei Ting and Zhu Jing before, but at that time Lei Ting was involved with Jasmine, and the relationship ended. Now Lei Ting was abroad, and Zhu Jing called, even using her internet sleuth to check on them, confirming that he and An Ning had divorced. Lei Ting was very angry. He never believed that An Ning had divorced him, so he spoke harshly to Zhu Jing.
Zhu Jing: "Now that you're divorced, we..."
Lei Ting: "I'll say it again, An Ning and I are not divorced, we are not divorced. Whether you have something to say or not, if you say we are divorced again, believe me I'll curse you."
Lei Ting interrupted Zhu Jing, sounding quite angry. Zhu Jing, on the other end of the phone, felt a little wronged. She had been overjoyed to learn from her suitor that Lei Ting had divorced and had even used her family's connections to confirm the fact. Having liked Lei Ting since childhood, she had calculated the time difference and, since it was morning in other countries, dialed Lei Ting's number. She never expected Lei Ting to lie like that.
Zhu Jing: "You... Lei Ting, I..."
Thunder: "What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? What do you want from me?!"
Lei Ting's patience had reached its limit, and he finally spoke. An Ning was puzzled by Lei Ting's change in tone. Lei Ting hugged An Ning, and An Ning could clearly hear what was being said on the other end of the phone. An Ning still didn't understand what this girl meant. What did their divorce have to do with her?
Zhu Jing: "Lei Ting, I like you, I really like you, and I want to marry you."
Thunder: "I don't like you. I like Anning. I have a wife. Don't bother me."
After shouting those words, Lei Ting hung up. His gaze towards An Ning softened, and An Ning smiled at him.
An Ning: "Young Master Lei has quite a few suitors!"
Thunder: "They're just making trouble for no reason. Anning, I love you, I just love you."
Anning: "The phone is ringing again."
Thunder: "Damn it, I cursed at her."
An Ning: "No, I'll take it."
Thunder: "Fine, go ahead and insult her. She's insane!"
Zhu Jing was unwilling to accept being hung up on, so she called back, and An Ning answered playfully. Zhu Jing heard a woman's voice and hurriedly asked who it was.
Anning: "Hello."
Zhu Jing: "Who are you? What are you doing next to Lei Ting...?"
An Ning: "I am An Ning, Lei Ting's wife."
Zhu Jing: "Impossible, how could you forgive Lei Ting? Impossible, who are you?"
An Ning: "It seems you care a lot about Thunder, but Thunder is mine. I hope you find a good man to marry soon!"
Zhu Jing: "Impossible! Which ditch are you from, you can't be An Ning, you can't possibly..."
An Ning: "A toad? The one croaking is a toad, what are you croaking about?"
Zhu Jing: "Give the phone to Lei Ting. Hurry up."
An Ning: "I won't give it to you, just so you can get mad. I'm hanging up."
