Chapter 67 – She didn’t exactly want to see Wang Xiao getting away scot-free either; it’s best to let the two of them duke it out (1)
Li WangJin was having lunch with another CEO. They were discussing about projects that the two companies would be working together on during the remainder of the year.
When they were mostly done with the discussion, Li WangJin was finally able to unfurrow his brows – so many awful things had happened recently and now finally he had something good to look forward to. If they could seal this deal, he would be able to come across a sizable amount of cash. He was getting tired of life on a shoestring budget.
Boss Zhou, who was five years older than Li WangJin, smiled and said, “A new club has opened up recently. Let’s go check it out.”
He winked at Li WangJin. “You don’t have anyone telling what you can or cannot do anymore. Might as well go enjoy yourself, eh?”
A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Li WangJin’s face. Alteration of stock ownership structure was no small feat, so more or less everyone in their circle knew about his divorce. As Fang JunRong had dirt on him, Li WangJin didn’t dare to create an image of himself being a great husband. He only said that there were irreconcilable differences.
He cleared his throat and said, “Okay. Let’s go take a look then.”
In the past, he worried about Fang JunRong, so he never did more than drinking and watching a show when he visited clubs and nothing else. That wasn’t easy. Now he could finally fully enjoy himself.
However, as soon as he stood up, a call came in. Jiang YaGe’s names flashed nonstop on the screen. If it was anyone else, Li WangJin would not have picked it up. But Jiang YaGe was not the same.
Was she bullied by XinYun? That was his first thought when he quickly picked up the call.
“What? Sixian was hurt? What happened?” His volume went up uncontrollably. He only lowered his voice again when he noticed everybody around him and turned to look at him. Comforting Jiang YaGe on the other end of the call, he said, “Don’t cry. I will be right over.”
After he had hung up the phone, he gave Boss Zhang an apologetic look and said, “I am sorry. Something came up. I will join you next time.”
Then he added, “My treat next time!”
Boss Zhang waved his hand. “That’s no problem.” Then he couldn’t help but get curious. “Something happened to your little lover.”
Li WangJin’s look froze, and he looked embarrassed. “No, no such thing. I don’t have a lover.”
“Everybody knows about it. You divorced your ex-wife for that Wang SiXian,” said Boss Zhang.
“You know that Wang SiXian is not that young anymore. And she looks just okay. Kind of plain if you ask me. It wasn’t worth it to divorce your wonderful wife for her.” What Boss Zhang didn’t want to tell him was that everybody thought he had lost his mind for doing that.
“Even her body is just alright in the video. It’s not like she has a big chest or big bottom.”
Li WangJin almost coughed out a mouthful of black blood. His hand shook. “Who told you that? Was it Fang JunRong?”
How dare she do that? He had given her so much when it came to splitting of their assets. And she had promised him that she would not show the video to anyone else. Which was why he was able to tell others that they had split over irreconcilable differences. And now, all the reputation that he had built up over the years were gone.
Thinking about all the people that were talking about him behind his back, Li WangJin’s mind went blank and he started to sweat.
Boss Zhang shook his head. “No, it wasn’t her. Your ex-wife is truly a good person. She has never said one bad word about you. Oh, I heard it from Sun Mei.”
He saw that Li WangJin wasn’t looking very well and that he looked like he could just pass out any minute. Not wanting to take the blame, he told Li WangJin everything that he knew. Everybody in their circle had already heard about it, which was why he assumed that Li WangJin knew about it as well.
“Sun Mei even said that she was the one who gave the video to your ex-wife. Nobody knew how she got hold of it in the first place.”
Li WangJin’s face was twisted. If only Sun Mei was in front of him right now, he would most certainly jump and beat her up. He has never had any respect for Sun Mei. She was narrow-minded and a sh*t-stirrer. He never thought that she would be the one who ruined him.
Had he known, he would never have offended her in the first place
There had been too many little things going on lately that had taken away all of his attention, which was why he had no idea about this at all. Under normal circumstances, not very many people would have said it out loud in front of him like this Boss Zhang just did.
