Chapter 113 Is it finally time to make room for Cheng Yan?
Jiang Meng glanced at his son's dark face guiltily, secretly groaning in his heart.
I originally wanted to take this secret into the coffin, but now it has been exposed.
As soon as Cheng Yan sat down, Li Zhinan suddenly stood up: "Sorry, I have something to do, so I have to leave first."
"Zhi Nan, sit down." Jiang Meng didn't expect her son to leave the table in anger. She immediately scolded him, "Miss Cheng has been with Xiao Wei all afternoon and hasn't even had a sip of water yet. What do you have to do? Can't you wait until after dinner?"
Cheng Yan was startled. She didn't expect Jiang Meng to be so serious all of a sudden.
Li Zhinan said calmly, "Mom, I have something more important than eating. I'll leave first."
Jiang Meng's face suddenly turned ugly.
In order to show her gentleness and generosity, Cheng Yan immediately persuaded her, "Aunt Jiang, it's okay. Zhinan is managing such a large group by himself, so it's normal for him to be busy."
Seeing Cheng Yan's understanding, Jiang Meng stopped forcing her eldest son to stay: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Li Zhinan turned around and strode away.
Cheng Yan showed a curious expression: "Aunt Jiang, do you know why Zhinan wants to leave?"
"He just said that the company has an important meeting." Jiang Meng smiled comfortingly: "Alas, my son has become a workaholic since he took over the company. As a mother, I can't persuade him."
Cheng Yan showed an admiring expression: "Aunt Jiang, a man who puts his career first is more charming and courageous. You should understand him more."
When Jiang Meng heard Cheng Yan's words, she felt relieved and immediately praised: "Miss Cheng, you are so young, but you have such a good ability to treat people. I really didn't realize it before."
"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Jiang. Maybe it's because my parents taught me this way since I was young that I have the personality I have now." Cheng Yan lowered her head and pretended to be a sensible and obedient girl.
The more Jiang Meng looked at her, the more she liked her. Compared to Cheng Qian's cold and elegant personality, Cheng Yan looked more and more like her dream daughter-in-law.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. Since Cheng Qian had attended Dr. Lan's class for half a day in the morning, she had to work overtime again tonight.
Qiao Silin also accompanied her down from the laboratory building. The two of them talked as they walked down the stairs.
When Qiao Silin was about to treat Cheng Qian to something to eat before going home, he saw a black car parked next to the stairs.
The car was still running, its headlights shining forward, and a person was faintly visible sitting inside the car, holding a cigarette.
"Is that your husband's car?" Qiao Silin asked.
Cheng Qian took a look and saw that it was indeed Li Zhinan's license plate. She frowned and asked, "Why is he here?"
"I must be worried that you would work overtime too late, so I came to pick you up." Qiao Silin said this in reverse.
He has been at the Seed Research Institute for some time, but this is the first time he has seen Li Zhinan appear here late at night.
It is conceivable how negligent he is as a husband.
"Impossible." Cheng Qian denied it without even thinking.
Qiao Silin smiled and said, "Then he must have gotten lost and stopped here."
"That's possible." Cheng Qian smiled bitterly helplessly.
Li Zhinan took a puff of incense, and the green smoke filled his handsome face. His eyes were as dark as midnight.
He had been waiting here for an hour, and when he saw Cheng Qian, he paused.
The next second, he pushed the door open and got out of the car, extinguished the cigarette against the wall, and threw it into the trash can next to him.
Qiao Silin passed by and said calmly, "Mr. Li, why are you here so late to pick up your wife from get off work?"
Li Zhinan ignored his ridicule and nodded towards Qiao Silin.
Qiao Silin didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards his car.
Cheng Qian also ignored him and walked towards her car.
"Cheng Xi, wait a moment." Li Zhinan stepped forward and grabbed her slender arm: "I have something to tell you."
Cheng Qian didn't like his touch. His hand didn't know where he touched Cheng Yan.
She was very resistant and shook off his fingers: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home."
"No, tell it now." Li Zhinan raised his hand to grab her arm again.
"Don't touch me!" Cheng Qian angrily scolded him: "Whatever you want to say, say it now."
Li Zhinan glanced at the people coming down the stairs from the laboratory one after another. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's talk in the car, okay?"
Cheng Qian's expression passed coldly across his brows: "Sorry, I'm a little tired and just want to go home."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get home." Li Zhinan saw her resistance and didn't want to talk about this in front of so many people, so he could only let her go home first.
Cheng Qian drove towards home.
Not far behind her car, a black Bentley was following closely.
Cheng Qian was feeling irritated. Li Zhinan was a little abnormal today.
She couldn't help feeling bitter. Maybe she had said something sarcastic to Cheng Yan today, and Cheng Yan ran over to whisper in his ear.
Li Zhinan was waiting downstairs late at night, anxiously wanting to talk to her, possibly about divorce.
Cheng Yan couldn't wait to get a status and get promoted.
If this is true, Cheng Qian has also thought of a countermeasure.
Divorce is possible, but she has to take a large sum of money.
Moreover, she will not give up the custody of her son.
Cheng Qian stopped the car at the traffic light. Suddenly, a rumble of thunder exploded in the sky, and it was about to rain heavily.
Cheng Qian's mood at this moment was just like the sky outside the window, overcast and rainy.
The result of love that becomes humble is separation.
Looking back on the past four years, she happily became his wife, and then tolerated his love affair with Cheng Yan outside. It turned out that it was only four years.
I thought a lifetime had passed.
Cheng Qian looked at the raindrops as big as beans, hitting the glass window happily, and her eyes were sore.
Fortunately, she was only 26 years old and it was just a divorce, not her whole life.
It was raining heavily and there was a traffic jam ahead. Cheng Qian's heart gradually calmed down.
No matter what Li Zhinan said later, she would fight for her rights and would not give in foolishly.
Finally returned to the villa, the courtyard was now full of water stains.
The lights in the villa were turned off, and Cheng Qian knew that her aunt had taken the children to bed first.
She got out of the car lightly and frowned when she saw the black Bentley driving in.
In order not to wake up her aunt and the child, she turned around and went to the garage.
After Li Zhinan parked the car, he pushed open the door and saw the woman leaning against the wall quietly waiting for him. At this moment, indescribable emotions surged in Li Zhinan's heart.
If that night was really a deliberate arrangement by her mother, then how much pain must Li Zhinan have suffered from the damage she had inflicted on her over the past four years?
Li Zhinan was in a state of confusion, with too many words stuck in his throat, but he suddenly didn't know how to say them.
Cheng Qian looked at him. His tall figure, enveloped by the surrounding lights, was imposing.
Cheng Qian raised her chin slightly, waiting for his storm.
