After the Zhang family made a scene, no one mentioned repaying the money anymore. Song Yan curled her lip, her perception of this family's shamelessness being refreshed once again.
Having no other option, they had to take their men and return empty-handed.
On the way back, Song Yan rode in Liu Zi's car; the two of them were the only two women in the group.
Looking at the men around who were completely subservient to Song Yan, Liu Zi couldn't help but wonder about Song Yan's past experiences.
Song Yan was unwilling to say more. She waved her hand and dismissed her with the words, "A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories."
However, she didn't maintain this heroic demeanor for long. When she got home and saw her brother-in-law, she immediately transformed into a gentle and demure woman.
Shi Jianjun's expression was not good. After nodding to the crowd, he took the person away.
Before leaving, Song Yan reminded everyone to come over for dinner that evening.
Liu Zi was completely dumbfounded, never expecting Song Yan's two faces to change so quickly.
Seeing that everyone else seemed unfazed, Liu Zi knew this was probably not the first time.
She smiled, said goodbye to the others, and went home to pick up Qiqi.
Zhao Qian received a divorce petition from Liu Zi's lawyer at the company, and he was so angry he almost burst out laughing.
That damn woman actually dared to kick him! Who gave her the guts?
Zhao Qian's face was grim as he recalled what had happened before Liu Zi left.
There was nothing unusual, except that she had a fight with her mother.
Could it be that his mother said something in her anxiety that made her suspicious?
Zhao Qian scoffed. That woman wanted to dump him? Dream on!
Just then, there was another knock on the office door, and the secretary brought in another envelope, saying that something had just been delivered.
Zhao Qian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly dismissed the person and opened the envelope.
There wasn't a single word inside, only a stack of photos, on which were intimate pictures of him and Su Yao.
Zhao Qian broke out in a cold sweat. What kind of backer did Liu Zi find that could find out about him?
It seems that things are far more complicated than he imagined. Does Liu Zi know about Zhao Gang's background?
Just as the Zhao family was anxiously making phone calls everywhere to find Liu Zi, Liu Zi's lawyer called first.
He informed Zhao Qian over the phone that he would visit her the next day to further discuss their opinions on divorce.
Zhao Qian was now really anxious. He paced back and forth in his office, thinking about how to salvage the situation.
He didn't want a divorce, because once he did, he would be completely cut off from the Liu family's resources.
His work and his career will be devastated, and he will be completely finished.
Su Yao was a woman with no skills or background, but she was willing to follow him without any official status, and Zhao Qian was very satisfied with this kind of life.
He suddenly felt a surge of anger; it was Liu Zi who had disrupted this balance.
Su Yao doesn't even compete with her for the status of the main wife, so why is she still not satisfied? Aren't they good sisters?
Even if you've seen the photos, why can't you tolerate this little thing for the sake of everyone's reputation?
Look at the big bosses from Hong Kong, they all travel with three or five secretaries, and nobody cares about their wives at home.
He's now a vice president of a company, with the same status and position. How can he face people in public after this?
Zhao Qian inwardly blamed Liu Zi for her lack of understanding, but he knew he had to find a way to cover it up.
No, he has to find the person.
Once he saw her, he was confident he could win Liu Zi back, after all, he had kept her firmly under his control all these years.
It must have been those two old geezers from the Liu family who hid him while he wasn't looking. Everyone knows how much that fool Liu Zi loves him.
He would then tell her that the photos were fake, that his competitors couldn't stand to see him doing well, and that they were trying to frame him and cause trouble in his own backyard. With Liu Zi's intelligence, she would definitely believe him.
He can then say some sweet words to coax her, and the matter will be over.
Since the breakthrough point is at the Liu family, he will take Zhao Gang there that night. His grandson misses his mother, and he doesn't believe those two old geezers won't feel sorry for him.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu received a reminder call from Liu Zi early in the morning, so they did not let the father and son into the house immediately.
Just as Zhao Qian had predicted, the two men softened when Zhao Gang cried and eventually let them in.
Zhao Qian carefully observed the expressions of the two Liu family members. Their affection for Zhao Gang didn't seem fake. Weren't they the ones who encouraged Liu Zi to get a divorce?
Zhao Qian had a question in his mind: who took those photos?
Zhao Qian carefully gave Zhao Gang a wink, and Zhao Gang immediately raised his voice and burst into tears, crying that he missed his mother and sister and asked his grandparents to find them for him.
If you don't look closely, you wouldn't think that a child this age would fake crying. He just cries and shouts without shedding many tears. Liu's parents, who were looking after their grandson, were naturally even more fooled by the child.
Liu's mother, Xu Meixin, softened a little. What could a child have done wrong?
Divorce between adults can have lifelong consequences for children!
She hesitated, glancing at her husband. The child was so upset; should they let them see each other?
In the end, Liu Daqiang's will was stronger. He rubbed his head, which was a little sore from Zhao Gang's crying, and said.
“We don’t know where your mother is either. I’ll ask her to come and see you when she calls next time.”
"You're lying, you're a big liar, neither you nor Liu Zi are good people." Zhao Gang was still a child, and after trying for so long, seeing his plan fall through, he became furious and embarrassed.
He suddenly raised his head, glanced hesitantly at Liu Daqiang, then turned around and shoved Xu Mei, who was closest to him, away.
Caught off guard, Xu Mei was suddenly pulled hard and immediately lost her balance, falling straight backward.
At the crucial moment, Liu Daqiang reached out and put his arm around her waist. Xu Mei gently touched her chest and looked at her grandson in disbelief.
The veins on Liu Daqiang's forehead bulged. If he hadn't acted in time, Xu Mei's head would have hit the corner of the table behind her. He felt a wave of fear.
Zhao Gang was angry that his son had ruined his plans. In order to appease the two men, he hurriedly asked Zhao Gang to apologize.
But Zhao Gang's stubbornness flared up at this moment. He swung his arms and shouted relentlessly, "Who told her not to tell me where that bitch Liu Zi is? She hit me last time, and I haven't gotten my revenge yet!"
"Smack!"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zhao Qian raised his hand and slapped Zhao Gang across the face.
The force was considerable; Zhao Gang froze on the spot, and a red mark quickly appeared on his chubby face.
Zhao Gang covered his face, feeling a burning sensation. His father had actually hit him because of that wretched woman, Liu Zi. He hated them to death.
With tears streaming down his face, Zhao Gang glared at the group of people with resentment before turning and running away from the Liu family's house.
