Chapter 737: Pleading in Public
The lives of his ex-wife and fake daughter were getting better and better, but his own life was getting worse and worse. Every day when he went to work, it was like going to a grave, with no desire to live. When he returned home, he was greeted not by his gentle wife, but by cold air. Without Zhang Pei, he seemed unable to take care of himself. The house was in a mess, with debris and garbage everywhere. He could not cook. As a scholar, he could not even use a kitchen knife. The kitchen was full of takeout boxes and instant noodle boxes.
Liu Chengyu regretted the divorce even more, regretting it to the point of being heartbroken. So what if she was a fake daughter? She could make money and she could allow him to live a rich life. Zhang Pei must have discovered this a long time ago and that was why she stood on her side.
Liu Chengyu did try to go to Liu Lan's company to find Zhang Pei. When he drove nearby and saw that the warehouse was full of burly men, he was scared and backed off.
From this time on, Liu Chengyu began to have frequent dreams. He dreamed about his and Zhang Pei's student days. He had tried his best to pursue her. He was an undergraduate student at a prestigious university, while Zhang Pei was just a junior college student. She looked at him with admiration and respect, which made him feel satisfied, proud and accomplished.
The two of them went to eat at an inexpensive restaurant together, and they had such a happy time.
Liu Chengyu began to frequent Uncle Ma's restaurant. He would drive over alone to eat and leave after eating. He didn't chat with Uncle Ma much. Whenever he talked, he would definitely mention Zhang Pei. Once he mentioned Zhang Pei, his mood would soon become even more depressed.
He didn't want others to know that he had foolishly missed out on 100 million!
Liu Chengyu had not expected to encounter such a bad scene today. He had always dreamed of remarrying Zhang Pei, getting back together, and sharing the 100 million yuan equally. How could he accept the fact that Zhang Pei had "found a new lover"? What made him even more angry was that Zhang Pei completely ignored him.
She said to the foreign man, "I'm sorry, we encountered an unexpected situation. Let's eat somewhere else."
...
...
The foreign man nodded.
Liu Chengyu was shocked. When did she become so fluent in English? Could it be that he himself had never understood her? Anger and the feeling of being deceived made Liu Chengyu completely unable to control his emotions and said, "Didn't you not watch English movies with subtitles before? I remember you said you couldn't understand and your eyes hurt when you read the subtitles. Now you are even learning English for a new lover."
When Zhang Pei heard the word "lover", her eyelids twitched. She felt that Liu Chengyu's mouth was like a cesspool and everything he said was stinky. She didn't understand why she was deceived by his sweet words when she was young and fell in love with him. She had met so many outstanding men, and compared with them, Liu Chengyu was mediocre and good for nothing.
Zhang Pei tried her best to suppress her anger and to make herself treat Liu Chengyu as air. She had stood up at this time, and Peter also stood up to help her take the bag and coat on the chair.
Peter wanted to help her put on her coat, but Zhang Pei quickly said, "Thank you."
The intimacy (etiquette) between the two of them, without paying attention to others, hurt Liu Chengyu's eyes. He sneered, "Do you dare to tell this foreigner the reason for our divorce?"
Zhang Pei's expression froze, and she instantly understood that Liu Chengyu was using Liu Lan to threaten her. On the surface, the reasons for their divorce were the car accident, money, and differences in world views. In fact, the real reason was Liu Lan. If their daughter had not had a heart transplant, if she was still the full-time housewife who had accomplished nothing, their life would have remained the same, and there would have been no conflicts with Liu Chengyu, and there would have been no possibility of divorce.
