Chapter 9
Leng Yichen sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly reading this Weibo post, as motionless as a wooden stake.
In my hands are messages sent by countless people.
What's going on between you and your wife? Are you getting a divorce?
[Oh, I've already said Lu Ningchu is unreliable. You see, he's cheating on me. You don't know how to judge people.]
There is only watching the show and gossip, no one is really concerned about the regards.
He was unable to reply, so he could only pretend not to see it and pressed the screen.
The cell phone rang in the silent hall.
Seeing that the caller was Sister He, a trace of guilt flashed in Leng Yichen's eyes.
After the call was connected, Sister He's slightly tired voice came from the other end: "Leng Yichen, Galaxy Entertainment's legal department said that the liquidated damages must be paid within a week, otherwise they will sue us."
Leng Yichen's grip on the phone suddenly tightened.
I thought I was numb from the pain, but after hearing Lu Ningchu's ruthlessness, the bitterness still surged up in my heart.
He was silent for a moment, then responded in a hoarse voice, "I'll go get the money. I'm sorry to have troubled you this time."
"What's the point of saying we'll be implicated or not? We've seen all sorts of storms and winds."
Sister He turned around to comfort him, her tone somewhat guilty: "In the end, it's my fault. I shouldn't have posted that Weibo. After all, you are husband and wife. She shouldn't be so heartless, right?"
Leng Yichen was stunned.
No?
He looked out the window, a hint of mockery on the corner of his lips, his voice bitter and helpless: "You are not wrong, and I am not wrong either. Don't feel guilty. As for her..."
Leng Yichen paused, unable to continue.
Sister He also felt uncomfortable and cursed Lu Ningchu on the other end of the phone.
"I understand. I'll find a lawyer to handle it."
These words made Leng Yichen's nose sore. After decades, only Sister He had always been steadfast by his side.
"Sister He, thank you."
There was a pause on the other end, followed by a relieved laugh: "Cheer up, you are Leng Yichen."
The phone was hung up.
Leng Yichen stared at his phone for a long time, feeling a little relieved.
Sister He's words helped him get out of the haze a little. He thought about it and called Lu Ningchu. The call rang for a long time but no one answered.
His eyes dimmed and he hung up the phone and prepared to go out to find her.
At this moment, a video call came in.
Leng Yichen looked at the name on the screen and was silent for a long time before he pressed the answer button with trembling fingertips.
After the video is connected.
A woman appears on the screen.
Her eyebrows were calm and indifferent, and her outstanding face looked extremely cold under the light.
The two were silent for a few seconds, neither of them spoke first.
The woman pursed her red lips and stared at him deeply. Some emotions were churning in her eyes, dissipating some of the coldness in her brows.
She spoke softly, a hint of nostalgia lingering in her tone, "Are you... okay?"
Leng Yichen knew that she was talking about his divorce from Lu Ningchu.
His face turned pale, and his heart was deeply hurt. He felt more embarrassed than sad.
Trying hard to suppress the trembling voice, he said, "You know, I'm not a weak person."
The woman's eyes dimmed, and she spoke again in a hoarse voice: "I know, I'm sorry for not disciplining her well..."
Leng Yichen closed his eyes and interrupted directly: "You are just her sister, there is no need to apologize. She is an adult and knows what she is doing."
Looking at this face that is somewhat similar to Lu Ningchu.
Leng Yichen laughed at himself: "Lu Ruoxi, maybe I am not born to be suitable for your Lu family."
A trace of pain flashed in the woman's eyes: "We loved each other so much in the beginning, why did it become like this..."
Her words penetrated deeply into the most secret recesses of his heart, and those memories he had long thought he had forgotten, like a whirlpool, drew him into endless pain.
His body trembled slightly, and he tried hard not to let his vulnerability show.
Unable to listen any longer, Leng Yichen hung up the phone without saying a word and blocked the WeChat account.
After sitting for a long time, Leng Yichen got up and left.
Arriving at Galaxy Entertainment, Leng Yichen went straight to the president's office.
The secretary quickly stopped him: "The president is busy and is not seeing guests right now."
Leng Yichen frowned slightly, having a premonition, pushed him aside and walked in.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Zhou Tingyu's voice coming from inside: "Is the name Yinhe named after me?"
Leng Yichen paused, his memories suddenly brought back to the past.
When Galaxy Entertainment Group was first established, Leng Yichen wanted to choose another name.
But Lu Ningchu insisted on using Galaxy.
Her reasoning was, "Don't you like the night? Those lights look like the Milky Way, don't they? This is designed for you."
The memory returned, Leng Yichen was standing there, his face as pale as paper.
He desperately hoped that Lu Ningchu would deny it.
He didn't want this last thing that belonged to him to also belong to Zhou Tingyu.
The next moment, Lu Ningchu's response floated through the crack in the door and reached Leng Yichen's ears.
"Yes, it was named after you."
