Chapter 3 Jealousy
The Lin Group made its fortune through finance, but in recent years it has shown a trend of decline.
Since Lin Xi took over the position of director of his company's investment department three years ago, he has set his sights on Internet finance.
Gu Qingheng, CEO of Gu Corporation and a rising internet star. Lin Xi had been trying to date him for a year, and now that he had returned to China, the first client he met was Lin Xi.
A meeting is in progress in the president's office of Gu Group.
Gu Qingheng was distracted for twenty minutes of the forty-minute meeting. By the time Lin Xi was halfway through, Gu Qingheng had a rough idea of what was going on. His attention lingered briefly on Lin Xi, who had a soft, graceful face and a slender figure.
She is Shen Yan's wife. But when I think of the beauties that Shen Yan brought to the annual meeting, I feel that, wow... your circle is really messy.
He hid it very well, and he was a gentleman, with a graceful appearance.
"Mr. Gu, do you have anything else to add?"
Lin Xi’s words drew Gu Qingheng back to his thoughts, and he said lightly, “No.
We can cooperate.”
Lin Xi was stunned. She hadn't expected Gu Qingheng to be so straightforward. It seemed he was as ruthless and decisive as the rumors said.
After sorting out the documents, Lin Xi was about to leave the meeting room, but heard a voice behind him, "Director Lin, please stay."
Gu Qingheng's male secretary called Lin Xi.
Lin Xi brought the project manager with her this time. The project manager turned around and looked at her. Lin Xi said softly, "You go first."
The project manager nodded and left.
Lin Xi smiled at Gu Qingheng, who was dressed in a suit and tie. "Mr. Gu, do you have any questions? Or, would you like to have a meal together?"
It's dinner time now and Lin Xi is a little hungry.
"That's exactly what I meant." Gu Qingheng smiled.
So, the two of them came to a five-star Western restaurant.
During the meal, Lin Xi also chatted with Gu Qingheng about business matters. She is the best at having dinner with the client!
After clinking glasses with Gu Qingheng, Lin Xi drank the red wine in the goblet in one gulp.
She had no idea that among the group of people coming down from the second floor, the leader, Chen Yan, was staring at her.
She was chatting and laughing with Gu Qingheng. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. From a distance, Chen Yan felt that they looked like a perfect couple.
He walked over.
Lin Xi looked at Chen Yan in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chen Yan looked down at him with a half-smile on his face: "Is it not disturbing you and Mr. Gu?"
Lin Xi frowned suddenly and hesitated to speak.
"I have a cooperation with Lin's..." After saying that, Gu Qingheng smiled helplessly.
Chen Yan glanced at Lin Xi anxiously, then changed his expression and looked at Gu Qingheng calmly: "In that case, you guys continue and send a bottle of good wine to Mr. Gu another day."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, take care." Gu Qingheng was quite enthusiastic.
Lin Xi: Boring, such a bummer.
…
The next morning, Lin Xi walked into the Lin Building with a cup of coffee in one hand and her other hand looking down at her phone.
Suddenly, a familiar yet hateful female voice was heard.
"Lin Xi, this way."
Lin Xi looked over and it was indeed her, Su Wan!
The two of them sat down at the coffee shop on the first floor of Lin's. Lin Xi got straight to the point and said, "Just say it if you have something to say."
"This is a limited edition bag. Chen Yan bought it for me."
Lin Xi glanced at the handbag beside Su Wan and sneered, "It's not that great, just fancy. And if that's what you're talking about, I don't have time."
Having said that, Lin Xi was about to stand up!
"You should divorce him. After the divorce, Chen Yan will be mine." Su Wan said arrogantly.
The next second, Lin Xi splashed coffee on his face.
Warning Su Wan: "If you provoke me again, it won't be just this cup of coffee."
After saying that, Lin Xi left angrily.
After that, Su Wan left Lin's company in a panic and burst into tears when she got back to the car.
It was Chen Yan who asked her to piss off Lin Xi.
She knew that even if he was cuckolded, it was Chen Yan who gave it to Lin Xi first, and Lin Xi didn't deserve it!
"Chen Yan, ah Chen Yan, you keep saying that you treat Lin Xi as your sister, is that true?"
Tears kept falling, Su Wan opened her phone and sent a text message to Editor Chen Yan.
At night, Shen Yan's Cayenne drove into the Shen family compound, his and Lin Xi's home.
Lin Xi opened the door of the villa with ease and walked in. He was stunned for a moment while eating a simple dinner and looking at work documents.
"Is this all you're going to eat?" His clear voice rang out.
Lin Xi put down her knife and fork. It just so happened that she had something to ask him. Before that, Lin Xi made an excuse: "Your lover, Su Wan, came to see me today."
"Oh." He responded absentmindedly.
He walked around the first floor, as if observing, or checking whether the house had changed, and whether there were any traces of other people.
"She asked us to divorce. I think that's fine."
He stopped suddenly and looked at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi went to get the divorce agreement that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Shen Yan.
"Let's get a divorce, Chen Yan. You don't love me, and I don't love you either. If we continue to be entangled like this, it will waste our best years."
"So, it was me who delayed you?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows.
"You already have Su Wan outside. Are you going to let us two women serve one man? Chen Yan! You wish!"
"Try talking to me like this again?" Chen Yan was about to lose his temper.
Lin Xi hesitated to speak and sighed.
Because of Su Wan's provocation during the day, Lin Xi still feels upset until now.
"Let's get a divorce. You let me go and I will let you go." It's been fourteen years. How many fourteen years are there left in life?
"So, you want me to help you and Gu Qingheng?"
"How could you be so unreasonable?"
"First day meeting me, Mrs. Shen? I, Shen Yan, am always unreasonable. I was the one who initiated the divorce. You're not qualified. Do you understand?" Shen Yan pinched Lin Xi's waist, forcing them closer. He whispered every word into her ear.
