As the saying goes...
There are no badly damaged plots of land, only overworked oxen.
When Pang Zhengming woke up the next morning, he was listless and felt weak all over. He squatted on the toilet for a while, but his legs were still trembling.
He started to panic.
This woman has already almost drained herself dry before they've even registered their marriage. What will she be like after they do?
He was afraid he wouldn't live more than two years.
Fortunately, Li Xinxin was also exhausted last night and hasn't gotten up yet.
He looks quite tired.
I guess it's just the initial excitement of being together; things won't be like this anymore.
Thinking this way, Pang Zhengming felt full of energy again and thought the future was promising.
Although I won't get much property in the next two years, I estimate I'll still get a decent amount of pocket money. So, if I stick it out for two years and then get a divorce, it won't be a bad deal.
After a while, Li Xinxin also got up, and the two tidied up and headed straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Kailai Hotel.
Lu Xueqing also got up very early today.
She had even put on makeup carefully, with delicate eyebrows and willow-leaf eyes, looking elegant and graceful, which made Lin Yu stare in amazement.
Lu Xueqing saw him peeking at her in the mirror, her pretty face flushed, and she scolded, "What are you looking at! Why are you being so sneaky! Can't you just be open about it?"
Lin Yu touched his nose. "Honey, you usually wear light makeup. What's wrong today? Do you have a date?"
"I don't have any dates. I'm attending a cocktail party hosted by Xiaotian Group today! Boss Zhou is your friend. I have to dress up a bit to give you face when I go to his party, right?"
"Oh? Zhou Xiaotian's party?" Lin Yu was a little surprised. He had run into Zhou Xiaotian when he came back last night, but the kid hadn't told him.
It wasn't that Zhou Xiaotian didn't want to tell him; in fact, Zhou Xiaotian knew that Lin Yu was extremely busy and didn't dare to disturb him at all.
Lu Xueqing laughed and said, "This is a business reception. Isn't it normal that I didn't tell you? But then again, this is the first formal reception he's held since becoming the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Aren't you friends? Why don't you come with me? Let's support Brother Tian together!"
"Me too? Maybe I shouldn't. I don't know much about business!"
Lin Yu was naturally not interested in this kind of cocktail party.
Lu Xueqing, however, clung to his arm and pleaded, "Come with me! When we get there, you can go get something to eat, isn't that enough?"
Seeing his wife's coquettish manner, Lin Yu's heart fluttered. How could he refuse? He had no choice but to agree.
After they finished getting ready, the two went downstairs.
Qi Wei was already waiting at the door in her car. After getting in, the three of them headed straight for the party.
This time, Xiaotian Group's cocktail party was very grand, as they booked the entire Haotai Hotel.
The stage was beautifully set up, and the entire venue was decorated in a magnificent, opulent style, much like the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
When the couple walked into the venue hand in hand, the venue was already packed with people. Bigwigs from various industries stood in groups of three or five, talking loudly and exchanging business compliments.
Lin Yu didn't like the atmosphere, so he told Lu Xueqing and went to eat something.
Lu Xueqing found a few familiar bosses, raised her wine glass and chatted with them, and even handed out her business cards.
In fact, Lu Xueqing had already become quite famous in the business world during this period. Many people knew about her relationship with Zhou Xiaotian and even regarded her as a rising star in Guanzhong. At this moment, the big shots took the initiative to come forward and greet her.
Before long, Lu Xueqing was surrounded by a large group of people, like a star being fawned over, and her outstanding looks only added to her charm. Many of the women around her were quite envious.
Just then, a handsome man standing next to a fat woman who had entered later also noticed Lu Xueqing in the crowd.
His eyes unconsciously drifted over there.
This glance evoked incredibly complex emotions.
Just a week ago, he was thinking of going on a blind date with this woman, with marriage in mind. But a week later, he got his marriage certificate with the fat woman next to him.
The complexity in her heart is unimaginable.
With Li Xinxin around, he had no intention of going up to greet her.
If he had found a rich and beautiful woman, perhaps he could show off to Lu Xueqing. This fat woman beside him is really embarrassing. He might even become a laughingstock.
He doesn't have that kind of fetish, sticking his face up to get beaten.
But just then, a large hand suddenly grabbed his ear.
"You, Pang Zhengming, we just got our marriage certificate and you dare to peek at other women? Do you want to die?" Li Xinxin asked fiercely.
Pang Zhengming winced in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Wife, I'm innocent! I didn't peek!"
"Still not admitting it? Don't think I didn't see it. You were staring straight at that girl just now! I don't believe that she's as skinny as a bamboo pole and not as pretty as me!" Li Xinxin questioned loudly.
"No, no!" Pang Zhengming waved his hands repeatedly.
"You're still looking even though there's nothing there! Tell me, do you have feelings for her?!" Li Xinxin pinched harder and harder.
Pang Zhengming couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly said, "Oh, wife, you've misunderstood. I have a grudge against her. I hate her too much to be interested in her!"
"Huh? You have a grudge against her?"
Hearing this, Li Xinxin finally let go of his ear and asked with a frown, "What exactly happened?"
Pang Zhengming explained helplessly, "Wife, she's Lu Xueqing, the daughter of that old witch Zhang Ailan! It's because of them that I was forced to work as a cleaner. How can I not hate her?"
"So she's that vixen?" Li Xinxin's eyes widened, and she carefully examined Lu Xueqing before saying sourly, "Hmph! I thought she was so outstanding! She's nothing special! Although she's not bad looking, she's still far inferior to me. You don't have anything to worry about. Isn't it better for you to be with me than with her?"
