Chapter 17
The system continued in an excited tone: [Although Zheng Sisi has a wealthy father, she has been very low-key since she was young. She never showed off her wealth in front of her classmates. Even when she went to school in a luxury car, she would get off the car and walk when she was one street away from the school. This habit continued until she went to college.]
[However, many things are just so predestined. On the first day of college, Zheng Sisi got off the car and walked as usual. By chance, she was seen by the scumbag, and then he became very interested in her.]
[At that time, the scumbag had already gained some fame, and his paintings were recognized by professional tutors, but they were not popular and could not be sold at high prices because they were too niche. In addition, his parents had spent all their retirement money to support him in his artistic career. The two old people began to worry about the lack of money and indirectly advised him to give up. This touched his sore spot, so he vowed to fight his way out on his own. ]
[So, he set his sights on the daughter of a wealthy man and wanted to sell himself to make a living? ]
[Tsk, how can you sell yourself for art? You are ignorant! ]
Xu Yinyin: “…”
[I guess, the scumbag wants to live off the girl blatantly, but doesn't want to lower his status to actively pursue her, so he came up with the idea of hyping up his persona, raising his own status so that Zheng Sisi will pursue him? ]
[Yeah, that's right. For this, he even borrowed money at high interest to hire a stylist to teach him how to dress and put on makeup, and hired a professional photographer to take photos, so as to create an artistic and talented persona.]
[He also found professional trolls to post street photos of passers-by on the campus network and popular short video websites, constantly increasing the discussion and exposure. When the crazy girls in the school began to pursue him and talk about him, and there was a long line of suitors, he began to create encounters with Zheng Sisi.]
[You know, the opposite sex around the rich daughters are either heartless and loveless bosses or playboys with all the five evils. A flower on the mountain top like a scumbag who has strong personal strength, talents, good reputation, and countless suitors is the most likely to make them fall into the mud. Zheng Sisi also became interested in him amid everyone's heated discussions. ]
[At this time, the scumbag doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to give Zheng Sisi a look that stays a little longer than others, or say one more word than others, and Zheng Sisi will become the object of envy and jealousy of all the girls in the school]
[Behind this envy and jealousy, isn't it the catalyst that breeds Zheng Sisi's sense of accomplishment? She is the daughter of a wealthy family, born a proud princess. There are countless people who can become her servants, but no one can compare to the satisfaction of having the unattainable exiled immortal love her alone. ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, such a cheesy plot, but it does fit the princess's character. ]
[At this point, the fish has already taken the bait, and now we just have to wait for her to fall into the trap.]
[Oh my god, what a well-planned drama! If I’m not mistaken, the scumbag is going to play hard to get next, right?]
[Right! He is indeed my senior gossip partner. He always guesses correctly. The scumbag is reluctant to accept Zheng Sisi's pursuit, and from time to time he would use his poor family to say that he is not worthy of her. He used retreat as a pretext to hint to Zheng Sisi what he needs and guide her to help.]
[Zheng Sisi did not disappoint the public. With his keen business sense, he quickly came up with a solution. On the one hand, he used his father's connections to get his works exhibited to increase his popularity. On the other hand, he used charity auctions to build a reputation as a caring painter and spread word of mouth. Soon, he became well-known.]
[Let me guess again. Zheng Sisi helped so much, but the scumbag was not grateful. He must have blamed her for being self-willed and disrespectful to him, right? ]
[Yes, yes, yes, he despised Zheng Sisi's hype and was vulgar, accusing her of tainting his art with her coppery stench, which was the greatest humiliation to him.]
[Oh my god, the rich sister is so nice, how can he have the nerve to say such shameless words! My fist is hard! ]
All the female spectators present clenched their fists silently, wishing they could punch the scumbag. What kind of irrecyclable garbage is this!
Even the male onlookers were disgusted by his ignorance and lamented that they could never meet such a rich sister.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng Sisi, who had long lost her momentum, with both distress and sympathy in their eyes.
If it were in the past, Zheng Sisi would have felt very humiliated, but after experiencing five years of torture at the hands of Gu Xiaochang, the sympathy of the people became a kind of comfort to her, and it also made her hate her father's cruelty to her even more.
Even strangers felt sympathetic, but her father only told her to be patient. How sad!
【Because of the scumbag's blaming, Zheng Sisi began to reflect on her own behavior. After sincerely admitting her mistakes, she never dared to meddle in other people's affairs again. 】
[Wait, doesn’t this go against the original intention of the scumbag? Don’t you want to be a gigolo? ]
[How is it possible? The scumbag is very cunning. He used his drunkenness to spit on his own nobleness, scolding himself for being useless and unworthy of the kind and beautiful Zheng Sisi. He apologized to her in disguise, which moved Zheng Sisi to tears. When he sobered up, he returned to his indifference as if he had lost his memory.]
[Fuck, he is too scheming. Don't tell me that Zheng Sisi fell again after seeing the exiled immortal admit his mistakes, and out of consideration for his feelings, she only dared to help secretly from then on, so she did good deeds without leaving her name behind? ]
[Yes, and the consequence of doing so is that habit becomes nature. Zheng Sisi began to tolerate his unreasonable behavior without any bottom line, and even cleaned up his mess without getting tired of it. These concessions directly fostered the scumbag's arrogance, so he gave money to help the mistress raise a child. ]
[No, this is not just the Virgin Mary, this is a masochist! ]
[In fact, she didn't want to, she wanted to divorce several times, but was stopped by Mr. Zheng because she didn't sign a prenuptial agreement when she married the scumbag, and once divorced, she would have to give half of the scumbag's property.]
[Well, no need to guess, she must be afraid that the scumbag would be angry that she was guarded by a rich man and her self-esteem would be hurt, so she didn't do a notarization of her property and didn't sign a prenuptial agreement. ]
[Just kidding, the scumbag spent so much effort to get himself into a wealthy family, how could he leave empty-handed? 】
[But doesn’t the scumbag have an illegitimate child? This is ironclad evidence of extramarital affairs. The one at fault must leave the house with nothing! ]
Xu Yinyin retorted eagerly, the crowd of onlookers nodded silently in their hearts, while Zheng Sisi lowered her eyes with a look of pain and smiled bitterly.
[No, Mr. Zheng will not allow divorce because it will affect his reputation. The Zheng family is famous for its strict family style and will not allow their children to divorce. There was also a scandal that the son-in-law cheated on his wife and had a mistress, so Mr. Zheng destroyed all the evidence collected by Zheng Sisi and put her under house arrest when she was making the most trouble! ]
As soon as the system said this, the crowd in the audience sighed silently: It’s inappropriate for a rich girl to be so frustrated like this!
[What kind of weird father is this? Is there anyone who would cheat his daughter like this? ]
[Alas, many children of wealthy families are helpless. When Zheng Sisi first pursued the scumbag, her father tried to stop her in every way, fearing that the other party had evil intentions, but he could not stop his daughter from going her own way. So, when Zheng Sisi saw the scumbag's true face and felt remorseful, her father mocked her a lot. She did not listen to the old man's advice and suffered the consequences.]
【Ah, this...】
[And in order to make her remember this mistake deeply, the old man ordered that the divorce was not allowed, and told the divorce lawyer that whoever dared to take over would be banned.]
[This, this is too much! Even if the children have made mistakes, it is not to the point where the crime is unforgivable. Who hasn't been blinded when they were young and frivolous? Zheng Sisi looks quite pitiful in this way. Oh, it turns out that the melons of the rich are really weird! ]
[Ah, in the final analysis, everything is for the dignity of the family.] The system couldn't help but sigh.
The onlookers said that this was difficult to judge, as it seemed that both sides were wrong, yet neither side seemed to deserve such a crime.
Zheng Sisi smiled somewhat sadly, then stood up and was about to walk away when she heard Xu Yinyin's inner voice--
[If I were Zheng Sisi, I would not tolerate it anymore. The scumbag took advantage of her husband's refusal to divorce her and was vindictive towards her, step by step trampling on her self-esteem and wearing away Zheng Sisi's love for him. This kind of cruel and shameless trash should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid being an eyesore.]
[Never use your self-cultivation to challenge the bottom line of trash people, because they don’t have it. Tolerance will only make them more arrogant. They will not understand you, let alone feel ashamed of you. On the contrary, they will magnify their self-righteous self-esteem. They will eat your things and use your things, while complaining that you are not dignified and that their posture of submission is not pious enough. They are clearly trash, but they still use literary talent to cover up their dirty hearts. They are more disgusting than trash! ]
【Furthermore, Zheng Rui is the culprit for Zheng Sisi's bad marriage and poor vision. As a parent, giving birth to a child but not educating him is the biggest original sin, and raising a child but not caring for him is the biggest dereliction of duty. So, what right does he have to despise his daughter for her poor vision, what right does he have to mock her, and what qualifications does he have to use his daughter as a tool to flatter himself? He doesn't care about his daughter's feelings, so why should his daughter care about his face?】
【Life is short, you must first learn to love yourself, reconcile with your past mistakes, release your self-imprisoned soul, and embrace the future anew. Only by going out can you have a tomorrow.】
【Not just Zheng Sisi, all those who have been hurt in love should learn to forgive themselves and not feel ashamed for making mistakes. Rather than being stubborn and refusing to change their ways, it is best to stop the damage in time.】
Xu Yinyin's words were like a revelation to Zheng Sisi.
She has been putting herself in a difficult position all along. That was how she pursued Gu Xiao. After she caught up with him, she discovered many bad habits in him, but she endured it.
When she discovered that his talent was just for show, she endured it.
When she came forward to pay for the prostitution, she still chose to endure it until the mistress came to her door with a pregnant belly and told her that she was about to give birth. At that moment, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She filed for divorce immediately, but her father called her home the next day and gave her a severe scolding.
Even if she put the evidence of Gu Xiao's extramarital affair in front of him and emphasized that Gu Xiao would leave the house with nothing and would not take a single penny from the Zheng family, he still did not agree.
He even went so far as to burn all the evidence and ordered all divorce lawyers in the industry not to handle her divorce case or to close it down.
At that moment, for the first time, she felt that her father was a stranger. He was no longer the gentle and loving father who always responded to her requests in her childhood.
The dignity of a wealthy family is important, and she has tolerated it again and again, but now she is not going to tolerate it anymore!
Xu Yinyin was right. Since life had been giving her hardships, she would respond with even greater hardships.
Who is thinking about her when she is enduring the pain alone to save the dignity of others?
No one, no one ever thought about her!
In the eyes of outsiders, she is just a protective demon who uses her brother's kindness to cover up her own unbearable scars. She used to rely on her brother, but now she doesn't need it anymore. She wants to live for herself.
She took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Xu Yinyin, then turned around, raised her chin, straightened her chest and stomach, and walked away with big strides.
[Hey, why is she gone again? Wasn't she so angry just now that she wanted to tear me apart? ]
Xu Yinyin was filled with questions. She was just distracted and eating watermelon for a few minutes, so why did she leave?
【Who knows, a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea.】Fair evaluation by the system.
Only the crowd watching the scene knew that the look Zheng Sisi gave Xu Yinyin was full of relief.
The way she walked with her head held high clearly said - from today on I am no longer Zheng Sisi, but Zheng·Niuhulu·Sisi.
When everyone looked at Xu Yinyin again, their eyes were immediately filled with deep admiration and respect. Zheng Sisi's words, which were like a revelation, certainly shocked everyone.
This innocent and pretty little girl in front of us, who is completely focused on eating melons, can always speak out many insightful opinions while criticizing others, and her sharp words can help the suffering melon owners to cheer up and expose the hidden sins. What a ray of justice!
If she wasn't afraid of being exposed, Xue Weiwei really wanted to lead the applause, or even blow a hooligan whistle to cheer for the princess.
The princess is really amazing. Not only does she give the melon owner the melon to eat, she also points out the direction. This is definitely the right way in the world!
It seems that there will be news coming from the Zheng family. Once something happens to the Zheng family, it will definitely lead to changes in the top management of Fengyi. Fengyi is indeed going to change.
At this moment, the group of people who had previously sneered at Xu Yinyin suddenly panicked and hurriedly stood up with their stainless steel plates. Each of them ran away with an expression as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Xu Yinyin was also full, so she packed up her plate and prepared to leave.
As soon as she left, the crowd was in an uproar and gathered together to discuss what might happen to the Zheng family and what Zheng Sisi's final decision would be.
As it was almost time to get off work, Xu Yinyin finally had time to get up and move around after finishing the tasks assigned by Sun Min.
The first thing she did was to go to the tea room, wanting to chat with Xue Weiwei and find something new to eat.
[Why did Secretary Sun ask me to watch business war movies? I don’t think I can learn anything from them? ]
[Why do you care about her? You come to work to eat melons. Just do whatever you are told to do. Don’t worry about the rest.]
[Yeah, that's right. Anyway, I just agreed to come to the company to do the work assigned by my second aunt. I didn't say I would do anything big. Only by disappointing him can I continue to live a useless life. But looking at it this way, it seems a bit shameless. ]
Xu Yinyin felt a little guilty.
[Tsk, how can you say that about yourself? Your non-competitive behavior is rare in any wealthy family. The wealthy masters would burn incense to thank you, so how could they despise your shamelessness? Don't worry! ]
【Hmm, nice. 】
In the tea room, more than half of the company's onlookers had already gathered, eagerly waiting to see what Zheng Sisi would come up with.
As soon as Xu Yinyin appeared, everyone looked at her with ardent admiration.
Fortunately, the treatment in the cafeteria made her quickly accept everyone's enthusiasm. After greeting them with a smile, she was surrounded by everyone and sat on the sofa in the rest area, occupying the C position.
In order to prevent her intention of gossiping from being too obvious, Xue Weiwei took the lead and talked about recent interesting news, and the atmosphere soon became lively.
In addition, as it is close to the end of the get off work day, the supervisors are the most relaxed. Generally, this kind of paid slack is the most refreshing, not to mention the occasional gift of melons from the princess. With the double stress-relieving buff, everyone feels that the fatigue of the day has disappeared.
[Umbro, the follow-up news about Zheng Sisi is here, are you interested? 】
Xu Yinyin secretly glanced at her colleagues around her and saw that they were chatting with each other. She immediately urged them: "Of course we need to eat, hurry up!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around pricked up their ears and picked up their tea to pretend to drink.
[Zheng Sisi cut the scumbag's tendons, then called the police and turned herself in. When the police asked about the reason, she told them everything about his extramarital affair and the mistress forcing him to abdicate with her illegitimate child. It seemed that she was not going to put up with it any longer.]
[See, what did I say? No normal person could stand this. Zheng Sisi finally came to her senses. It was too much of a shame to sacrifice the rest of her life for such a scumbag.]
The crowd of onlookers nodded silently in their hearts to express their agreement, with regret on their faces.
[Have you ever thought that she is also taking revenge on her father? After all, it is he who wants respectability, not her.]
[So she ended her tragedy in the most jaw-dropping way possible, and at the same time avoided the ban on divorce lawyers from her husband. I committed a crime, so you have to hire a lawyer for me. Since I have already killed someone, does divorce become insignificant?]
[Yes, that’s the brain circuit]
Xu Yinyin couldn't help but sigh: [Ah, how should I judge this? It seems that both sides have their reasons, but it also seems that neither of them has their reasons. However, if this happens, I'm afraid that the father and daughter will completely break up.]
[It's a breakup, anyway, as a father, I don't feel sorry for my daughter, it doesn't matter whether she is there or not. Moreover, Zheng Sisi's behavior has destroyed the strict family tradition that the old man has worked so hard to build, and the old man must be furious.]
[The more you advocate something, the more you lack it. If Mr. Zheng's family tradition is really strict, would he raise a pervert like Zheng Yuan? Would he let Zheng Sisi go to hell even at the cost of destroying herself? Would he let a gigolo break into the house and bully his daughter? These sins are all caused by Mr. Zheng, he deserves his suffering! ]
[Yeah, you're right, I'm responsible for my own mistakes! ]
[If this matter gets out of hand, it will definitely affect Zheng Rui's position and reputation in the board of directors. Not only will his family be ruined, but he will also lose the power he has been holding tightly in his hands. How tragic! ]
[It is said that Zheng Yuan wants to sever his relationship with his father because of his sister's incident. He even held a press conference and accused him of being cruel and inhumane in public, saying that he personally forced his sister to become a murderer. He said that all the sufferings of the Zheng family were caused by his father. The trending searches went viral.]
The crowd of onlookers subconsciously reached for their phones in their pockets, wanting to connect and eat more, but they gritted their teeth and held back, not wanting to alarm the princess, or else they would have nothing to eat in the future.
[Wow, the old man has been sent to the ICU, and the doctor has issued a critical illness notice. If nothing unexpected happens, Fengyi’s internal situation will also change. ]
The people in the queue who were just about to enter to pour coffee felt a chill down their spines. Isn't this a case of catching the leader first? As soon as Zheng Rui fell, the three giants immediately fell apart.
After looking at each other in horror, they hurried away.
They were all busy going back to clear up all the evidence that might cause them to be dismissed by Xu Hongshan or charged with treason, so that they could behave themselves and start a new life.
[Haha, what did I say? Grandpa is really awesome, isn't he? He has defeated one of them. The three-legged golden crow has become a two-legged chicken.]
【Hahahaha, your description is so accurate, there are some inside scenes.】
"Bang--" As countless shattering sounds rang out, Tang Wan's office suddenly became a mess.
The computer screen showed the shocking scandal of Zheng Rui's family that was on the hot search list.
#The philanthropist cruelly cut her husband's tendons#
#The husband cheated on his wife, the mistress took the child and forced the wife to abdicate, the tragedy of the Zheng family shocked the world#
#Zheng Rui's son held a press conference and denounced his father's ten sins#
Looking at the negative news that was hotly discussed on the Internet and could not be suppressed, Tang Wan was so angry that her head was pounding.
In just one day, Xu Yinyin was able to cause chaos in the company. It was really terrible.
There was a knock on the door, and Sun Min reported carefully: "Mr. Tang, there is an expedited document."
"Come in!" Tang Wan said coldly, suppressing her anger.
As soon as Sun Min stepped into the office, she was pricked on the sole of her shoe by a piece of porcelain fragment on the floor. She was so frightened that she trembled all over. When she saw the mess in the room, she felt even more cautious.
After Tang Wan took the documents, she immediately squatted down to clean up the mess.
"Go out, the cleaning staff will take care of it."
"Yes, Mr. Tang." Sun Min left as if she had been pardoned.
As she walked, she was thankful that she could hear Xu Yinyin's thoughts and avoid the tragic fate of being used as cannon fodder in advance.
Xu Yinyin had just arrived for one day when Zheng Rui's family encountered accidents one after another. This was all caused by her inner voice. It was hard not to associate it with the chairman's intention of sending her to the company.
She can help the chairman to eliminate those who have disloyal intentions without any effort.
As one of the most stubborn founding members, Zheng Rui has always been restless, especially during the period when his father was in hospital, he teamed up with Guo Cheng to make small moves.
Just when it seemed that this faction was about to become more powerful than President Tang, when Xu Yinyin arrived, she directly took Zheng Rui's head.
Zheng Rui's illness may very well cause him to die, and his children may abandon him together. This would be a fatal blow to anyone.
It has to be said that Chairman Xu's move was ruthless and swift, and Xu Yinyin's weapon was also a magic weapon that was invincible.
Now that Zheng Rui is out, then the next one will be Ms. Tang's turn. As her most capable assistant, if she becomes the scapegoat as Xu Yinyin said, she will be in trouble.
You must prepare early!
Guo Cheng is like an ant on a hot pot at this moment. He is the one most affected by Zheng Rui's downfall. Without the immortal old man as a cover, how can he freely buy shares from retail investors?
He took out his cell phone and made an appointment with Wu Youde and Zhao Xing.
An hour later, the three met at a resort 20 kilometers away from the city.
"Mr. Zheng suddenly got into trouble. What should we do next?" Guo Cheng asked humbly and poured tea for the two of them attentively.
Wu Youde quickly raised his hand to cover his tea and said with a smile: "Manager Guo, there is no us here. You are you, and we are us."
Guo Cheng's smile froze, and he poured tea for Zhao Xing who was standing beside him. Zhao Xing picked up the cup and drank the rest. "I have already drunk all the tea I had before. If you want to drink tea again, I'm afraid you'll have to find someone else to accompany you."
Guo Cheng's patient good temper instantly disappeared. Since the other party had broken off relations, he would not pretend any more.
He put down the teapot and snorted, "What? You're planning to demolish the bridge before you even cross the river?"
Wu Youde: "The river is deep and fast. No matter how hard we try to build a bridge, it will be useless. What kind of person is Mr. Zheng? He was the pioneer in starting a business, but he stumbled and was wiped out. How can we survive without a leader?"
Zhao Xing: "Originally, we were evenly matched with Tang Wan, but after the disaster of Mr. Zheng, I'm afraid it's more likely that we will be killed. Our strength has been reduced by more than half. Besides, Tang Wan has a son. Even if the old man doesn't like her, she can still be respected because of her son. We can't defeat her, unless--"
Zhao Xing looked at Guo Cheng with some fear, and the latter immediately guessed the rest of the words: "Unless I can also give birth to a son."
Wu Youde clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Although you are the son-in-law, Xu Yanwen is the youngest daughter that the old man holds in his palm. The grandson will definitely enjoy the same privileges as the biological grandson. We can discuss it then. Otherwise, it will be useless to say anything."
Guo Cheng laughed after hearing this. He was indeed an old fox who had planned this out. Fortunately, he also wanted to have a child with Xu Yanwen to prevent her from being suspicious.
Having a child would lock this marriage even more tightly, and even if the old man couldn't stand me, there was nothing he could do.
Furthermore, having another child would also bring some crisis to the second wife's family, so that Xu Yanrui would not be arrogant.
"It's not that difficult to have a baby. We are just trying to get pregnant this month. Wait for my good news."
The two looked at each other, and Wu Youde said, "Then let's just wait for good news."
"If everything goes well, our cooperation--" Guo Cheng probed.
"As long as you have the strength to compete with Tang Wan, it's not impossible to give it a try."
With Wu Youde's words, Guo Cheng immediately felt relieved.
After they drank a cup of tea, they left together.
Shen Ling, who had been waiting in the private room next door, was called in.
She sat directly in Guo Cheng's arms and played with his tie, asking coquettishly, "How did the talk go?"
Guo Cheng said in a teasing tone: "I never thought that one day I, Guo Cheng, would have to rely on having children to rise to the top. It's really sad."
Shen Ling's face changed and she stood up from his arms: "They probably want you and Xu Yanwen to have a baby, right?"
"Well, luckily that's what I meant."
Shen Ling slapped his hand away unhappily and said coquettishly, "If you have a child with her, then what does our child count for? Do you want our child to be an illegitimate child?"
"We don't have it yet, do we?"
"Who said he's gone? He's been gone for three months."
"What?!" Guo Cheng stood up from his chair anxiously, loosened his tie, and calmed down the anger in his heart.
Shen Ling was frightened by his reaction and timidly asked, "Ah Cheng, I--"
"Knock him out." Guo Cheng's voice was icy cold, and his eyes were as if frozen.
"No, I don't want it. You're going to divorce Xu Yanwen anyway, so why can't you keep him? The doctor said he's healthy. I'll show you his ultrasound."
She said as she took the report out of her bag. "He's really cute, a little ball, he--"
"Knock him out, don't make me say it a second time." Guo Cheng's voice became even colder.
Shen Ling looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ah Cheng, he is our first child, can you bear to abort him?"
"What can I do if I can't bear it? Now is a critical moment. I need to have a baby with Xu Yanwen. I need her child to stabilize the situation. Once you give birth to a baby and she finds out, all my planning over the years will be in vain. Not only will you go to jail for stealing secrets, but I will also be kicked out of the Xu family. By then, we will have nothing. How can we raise a child? Have you ever thought about this?"
"I--" Shen Ling felt scared when she thought about the secrets she had stolen, which were enough to send her to jail for life.
"A Ling, please don't make things difficult for me. Just listen to me and abort the baby. When I trick Xu Yanwen into giving me the shares, I'll divorce her as soon as possible and then have the baby. It'll be so fair and aboveboard, huh?"
Shen Ling looked at him with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of reluctance.
Guo Cheng patiently continued to coax him, and finally convinced him to go to the hospital tomorrow.
"I'll contact the doctor for you. After the operation, you just rest in the hospital and don't have to worry about anything."
He took out his secondary card and handed it to her, "After you recover for a few days, go abroad with your friends and I'll approve your leave, okay?"
Shen Ling lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Yanwen and his name on the credit card, knowing that it was a joint account.
Guo Cheng gave her this card to indirectly tell him that Xu Yanwen couldn't control him at all, which was a reassurance to her.
Since Xu Yanwen can't control it, can she--
She took the card obediently and said hesitantly, "Ah Cheng, you have to remember what I sacrificed for you. I hope you will keep your promise and don't let me down again, okay?"
"Don't worry, you're so good and you're so nice to me, how can I bear to let you down? I swear, this is the last time."
"Okay." Shen Ling hugged him obediently, her tearful eyes no longer showing the fragility she had just shown.
After dinner, Xu Hongtian went to the study to practice calligraphy. He had just finished writing the first half of the character "安" when the housekeeper Lin Yu knocked on the door with a document and asked for instructions: "Master, Zheng Rui sent a lawyer to deliver the share transfer letter."
Xu Hongtian picked up his pen and dipped it in ink again, then said, "Come in."
Lin Yu pushed the door open, placed the document on the desk, and watched the old man finish writing the remaining word "female" on the rice paper.
When the word "安" (An) appeared on the paper with powerful and neat strokes, the old man smiled knowingly, put the pen back into the pen holder, wiped his fingers slowly, and his eyes idly fell on the file bag, without any intention of reading it.
"So, I told you that my granddaughter is the treasure of our family. She caught the biggest fish on the first day, which far exceeded my expectations." Xu Hongtian's eyes were filled with pride.
"Ms. Yinyin is indeed very smart, and her straightforward personality of not competing or fighting and saying whatever she thinks is even more precious. I have to say that Master Yanwen is very lucky."
The housekeeper said this in a subtle way, which amused the old man. "The eldest son is indeed blessed. He is stupid and dull, but he gave birth to a daughter who has a smart mind. It can be said that stupid people have stupid luck."
"Oh, now that Zheng Rui is gone, the rest of us don't have to worry about anything. If I'm not mistaken, everyone in the company must be in a panic right now. Many people must be suffering from insomnia, right?"
"My aunt met with Wu Youde and Zhao Xing this afternoon."
"Without Zheng Rui as the backbone, the other two fence-sitters will no longer cooperate with him."
Lin Yu looked at the old man hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate."
"My aunt's secretary, Shen Ling, seems to be three months pregnant."
Xu Hongtian's face darkened, "Is the child Guo Cheng's?"
Lin Yu nodded with difficulty. The old man picked up a blue and white porcelain ornament and threw it on the ground in anger, "What a piece of crap!"
"Master, please calm down. You are in good health now. Don't let yourself get hurt."
Xu Hongtian tried to calm the anger in his chest and asked, "How did that bastard react?"
"Have her have the abortion with a firm attitude."
Xu Hongtian raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised, and then heard Lin Yu continue: "It is said that the time is not right yet, and you have to give birth to Miss Yanwen first to stabilize the situation."
Xu Hongtian's eyes went dark and he almost fell down. Lin Yu hurried forward and helped him sit down on the chair.
Xu Hongtian sighed: "Why did I give birth to such a temperless daughter? How long will she endure this? Yinyin has already exposed the true face of that bastard. I don't believe that she didn't doubt anything before. What on earth is she worried about?"
Lin Yu said, "Miss Yanwen has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. The only rebellion she has ever shown is probably for her aunt, the lover she has pursued with all her courage and pride. If that person turns out to be unworthy, Miss Yanwen's pride and self-esteem will be destroyed. Facing such a blow, it is worth Miss Yanwen's careful consideration. Master, you might as well give her some more time. I firmly believe that Miss will make the best choice."
Xu Hongtian actually thought of this as well. Parents know their children's personalities best, so he shouldn't push them too hard.
"Just as Yinyin said, that woman dared to deliberately leave traces when she attended the family dinner with Huchuang Dongxi, and she must have the courage to find Yanwen with chips in her stomach. I hope that by then, Yanwen will wake up and realize that some pain must be experienced by her personally."
Xu Hongtian's eyes suddenly darkened. "If she remains indifferent, then I don't mind helping her. Even if she hates me in the end, I will never let her fall into depravity again!"
"That shouldn't happen." Lin Yu soothed her gently, "Auntie dares to be so arrogant, just relying on Miss Yanwen's love, but love will disappear after repeated disappointments."
“I hope so.”
Xu Hongshan gently touched the photo on the desk. The little girl in the photo wore a crown and a white princess dress. She had curved eyebrows and tilted her head as she leaned against the young Xu Hongshan. The father and daughter looked at the camera, and their smiles were brighter and more dazzling than the summer sun.
"Wenwen, don't let Dad down again, okay?"
Xu Hongshan murmured to himself, his sharp eyes, which had been trained from being in a high position for a long time, were now filled with tears and regret.
If he had been more forceful in his resistance, would Yanwen have not suffered so much damage?

Xu Yanwen went to the hospital to get Guo Cheng's test report at the agreed time, and her mood was up and down all the way.
After returning home that day, she called Dr. Xu and asked him to call her first instead of Guo Cheng as soon as he got the report.
"Ms. Xu, you have to be prepared. The report shows that your husband is born with azoospermia. Your chances of getting pregnant are close to zero."
Xu Yanwen felt cold all over, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her head, and she was shivering with cold.
She didn't even remember how she walked back to her car.
Guo Cheng actually has no sperm, which means they will never be able to have children in this lifetime.
So, all her years of hard work, all the inspections and running around, at this moment, all became a self-indulgent joke.
If Guo Cheng had agreed to have the check-up in the first year, she wouldn't have had to suffer the next two years.
Every time she faced the examination of the cold machine, she felt extremely scared and helpless.
She was so afraid that it was her own problem. Every time she felt despair and anxiety, every time she rekindled her hope and expectation, they were like straws on the camel's back. She didn't know when they would crush her.
And now, the report clearly states that Guo Cheng is the culprit for the infertility.
"Ha, ha ha ha --" Xu Yanwen laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face and her whole body was shaking.
Was this a revelation from God, telling her to let herself and Guo Cheng go?
Her hope to improve the relationship between husband and wife by relying on the child was despicable and shameless.
Now God has directly deprived her of her right to be a mother and awakened her conscience in an almost cruel way.
Get a divorce!
A voice echoed in her head, urging her to make a decision as soon as possible.
But her eyes were blurred with tears, and she couldn't find Guo Cheng's name or remember his phone number.
She suddenly burst into tears, crying her heart out and feeling heartbroken.
She kept raising her hands to wipe away her tears, but the tears seemed to be deliberately defying her and could not be stopped.
“Dongdong—”
Someone was knocking on the car window. Xu Yanwen thought her crying was disturbing others. She was about to wipe her tears and apologize when she turned around and saw a familiar figure.
Shen Ling was smiling and waving at her.
That’s right, my aunt is going to fight back. See you in the next chapter. Muah.
