"Zhang Yuwen, I, I..." Xiao Fan's words caught in his throat, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam.
His body trembled uncontrollably from crying. "I can retire from the entertainment industry, I can go home, and you can be your old artist, visiting me only occasionally."
Every word seemed to have been written with all the strength of his body.
"What if I get married?" Zhang Yuwen's voice came coldly, without a trace of emotion.
Xiao Fan cried uncontrollably, nearly collapsing. "Why, why did you never love me as much as I loved you? I would give up anything for you. Ugh, ugh, why could you be so heartless? And still marry someone else."
"Yes, from the very beginning, I was the one who pestered you, chased after you, and wanted to be with you. You never loved me." Xiao Fan's voice was full of self-mockery and sorrow, and his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.
"Don't cry, I won't break up with you, and I won't marry anyone else." Zhang Yuwen's tone finally softened, tinged with a hint of guilt.
"Really?" Xiao Fan raised his tear-streaked face, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, as long as you don't mention breaking up, I won't leave you." Zhang Yuwen nodded gently, his eyes full of determination. He reached out and hugged Xiao Fan tightly, as if he wanted to meld him into his own body.
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Xiao Fan looked up at Zhang Yuwen with teary eyes, her voice filled with uncertainty and fear, her hands tightly gripping Zhang Yuwen's clothes.
"When has your husband ever lied to you?" Zhang Yuwen gently stroked Xiao Fan's hair, his voice deep and magnetic, full of comforting power.
"Husband," Xiao Fan choked back tears, burying her head deeply in Zhang Yuwen's arms, "Husband, husband."
The sound of "husband" echoed in my ears.
The two couldn't help but kiss passionately, with Xiao Fan straddling Zhang Yuwen's lap, their intense emotions causing the scene to spiral out of control.
Their breathing became more rapid, and their movements more daring, as if everything around them had ceased to exist.
Upon seeing this, Li Peiyu jumped out of the car in a flash and quickly closed the door.
He hurriedly locked the car door and then walked away quickly.
Xiao Fan's agent and assistant, along with many other staff members, immediately surrounded Li Peiyu as she got out of the car.
"Where's Xiao Fan? Why hasn't he come out?" the agent asked anxiously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Um, he's too tired and fell asleep inside. Can everyone let him sleep for a while?" Li Peiyu tried to calm herself down and forced a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay." The crowd responded, and although somewhat reluctantly, they dispersed.
After everyone dispersed, Xiao Fan's manager pulled Li Peiyu to sit on a chair to the side, and the manager stared intently at Li Peiyu.
Li Peiyu turned her head away, feeling guilty and unable to meet his gaze.
The agent already had a pretty good idea of what was going on: Xiao Fan was probably having an affair with Zhang Yuwen in the car.
The agent is having a major headache; the two of them finally separated, and now they're back together.
However, it would be quite difficult for them to separate. Seven years have passed, and they are still as affectionate as when they first got together.
It's like living in a honey pot every day.
Finally, after a long time, Xiao Fan came out. He looked to be in a great mood, with a happy smile on his face and a radiant appearance.
Xiao Fan walked impatiently to Li Peiyu's side, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Li Peiyu replied with a smile.
"Can you come see me again tomorrow?" Xiao Fan looked at Li Peiyu with anticipation and a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Li Peiyu smiled and said, "Okay."
"Thank you," Xiao Fan said, his voice filled with joy.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Fan, Li Peiyu drove her van to a hotel and checked in.
Every day after that, Li Peiyu would go to see Xiao Fan.
They used the same trick again.
Inside the Lu Group building,
Lu Yuzhi sat in his spacious and bright office, where his secretary, Yuan Jiang, was giving him a serious report on the latest developments in the investigation of his uncle and aunt.
Lu Yuzhi's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Yuan Jiang and asked, "Did you get the answer? What are they planning to do about Li Peiyu?"
Yuan Jiang hurriedly replied, "I had just hung him up and hadn't even whipped him much when he confessed. The aunt said she found someone who had just come out of there and planned to intercept Miss Li when she got off work in the evening, film her in that kind of video, and then coerce her into breaking up with you."
"Where did you get the audacity to touch my people?" Lu Yu was furious.
Yuan Jiang continued, "They said the Qin family instigated them to do it."
The Qin family? Lu Yuzhi frowned deeply, a number of doubts welling up in his mind.
The Qin family is still thinking about a marriage alliance.
Grandpa is senile. He is the most powerful person in the entire Lu family, and no one can force him to marry.
So the Qin family took a different approach? They ruined Li Peiyu and then forced Qin Mingyue onto him.
But why did the Qin family go to such lengths to arrange a marriage with him?
Qin Mingyue has truly fallen in love with him? She can't live without him? Nonsense, the Qin family would never risk offending the Lu family for Qin Mingyue's sake.
So they're probably after his money, which means the Qin family is really short of cash and the Qin Group is in trouble.
Lu Yuzhi's mind raced, and he came to a conclusion in just ten seconds: "Check if there's something wrong with the Qin family."
“We’re already investigating,” Yuan Jiang replied.
Just then, Yuan Jiang's phone rang. "President Lu, it's a work call."
"Answer it." Lu Yuzhi nodded slightly, gesturing for Yuan Jiang to answer the phone.
After finishing the call, Yuan Jiang turned to Lu Yuzhi and said, "The Qin Group is indeed in trouble. The strategic planning of the Qin Group's senior management has seriously deviated. They blindly expanded their business areas, resulting in extremely dispersed resources and making it difficult to concentrate on developing core businesses. In addition, the broken capital chain has triggered a serious financial crisis. Although on the surface they still maintain their former glory, in reality they are already riddled with holes and like a spent arrow."
After hearing this, Lu Yuzhi nodded calmly, thinking to himself that he had indeed made the right analysis.
From the very beginning, the Qin family proposed the marriage alliance in order to obtain financial investment from the Lu family.
When the marriage alliance failed, they resorted to such a treacherous scheme.
If Li Peiyu hadn't been good at winning people over and hadn't known about the aunt's plot to harm her, she probably would have met with misfortune.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuzhi couldn't help but gasp, secretly relieved that he had been able to detect this conspiracy in time.
Lu Yuzhi then took out his phone and called Li Peiyu.
She's been gone for five days and hasn't come back yet. He keeps urging her to come back, but she makes all sorts of excuses, saying she wants to take this opportunity to learn from the staff of that variety show.
It's true, the wild rabbit found a new world and never looked back.
