“Sis! Why are you crying? Did that useless brother-in-law make you upset? Just watch how I deal with him!”
Leng Xingche, who had been stiffly singing and dancing, saw tears rolling down Leng Bingning’s face. Thinking she had been bullied by Zhu Tianfan, he rushed straight into the lounge, dragged Zhu Tianfan off the bed, and pulled him in front of her.
“Useless guy, look what you’ve done! You made my sister cry like this!”
“If you don’t make her smile today, I won’t let this go!”
After saying that, Leng Xingche quickly took out a bank card and quietly muttered, “Brother-in-law, take this. There’s 20 million in it. A man can’t go without money. Women need to be coaxed with gifts. Buy her a few things tonight to cheer her up.”
“Remember, don’t hand it over to my sister, or you’ll only have 250 left!”
After doing all that, he immediately put on an angry act again.
??!!
Zhu Tianfan looked at the card in his hand, then at his tearful domineering CEO wife, completely dumbfounded.
What the hell was going on? She had just smashed things outside, and now she was crying? And this sister-obsessed brother had dragged him here to apologize and make her smile?
Zhu Tianfan glanced at Leng Bingning, carefully choosing his words. “Wife… why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell, or… is it that time?”
[Holy crap, that scared me. I thought that flashy Seventh Brother was about to hit me. Wait, why am I even worried? Those seven sister-obsessed brothers never hit people. They just threaten me verbally… and secretly give me money every time! Could it be that in my previous life, I buried them out of gratitude? That actually makes sense…]
[Tsk tsk… what a waste. The latest laptop, phone, cosmetics, photo frames—all smashed on the ground. Ptui! She’d rather destroy them than give them to me. My heart aches!]
[That flashy Seventh Brother really is a brainless sister fanatic. What does her crying have to do with me? She must be remembering what happened last night with those five blond thugs! Hmph! And she still blames me for it?]
[Wretched woman, cry… cry all you want. It’d be better if you cried after I die! Wait, no—you die before me! Hahaha… finally, I’ve won one round against you!]
Zhu Tianfan suddenly recalled something from his memories that made him feel extremely bitter.
The 250 yuan he received every month had actually been his own doing. The seven brothers secretly gave him at least hundreds of millions each month, but he had obediently handed it all over to Leng Bingning, proudly calling it “loving his wife.”
What nonsense. A good man with no money? Ptui! What a hopeless lapdog!
At that moment, Leng Bingning, who had been crying, heard his inner thoughts. Her tears instantly stopped, replaced once again by surging anger.
It was all her seventh brother’s fault. Her crying had nothing to do with Zhu Tianfan, yet he had dragged him out to apologize. Now she had to endure another round of his endless rambling.
Leng Bingning shot Leng Xingche a fierce, icy glare and said coldly, “Seventh Brother, apologize to my husband immediately.”
After saying that, she looked at Zhu Tianfan and felt a headache coming on. With her domineering personality, how could she possibly say “sorry” to him?
In the end, she suppressed her anger and stiffly forced out three words, “I’m sorry.”
“Sis… what… what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”
“I’ll apologize to brother-in-law right now. I shouldn’t have called him useless!”
“Brother-in-law, I’m sorry!”
Everyone knew Leng Bingning was extremely domineering by nature, and after becoming CEO, she had become even more so.
Aside from her parents, no one—not her seven brothers, her adopted sister, or even her useless husband—had ever made her say “I’m sorry.”
Even Zhu Tianfan was stunned speechless. “Wife… are you okay?”
In the past twelve years of memories, she had never once apologized. Even when she was wrong, she would only glare coldly at others.
A perfect description would be: “No matter what, it’s always someone else’s fault. How could a domineering CEO ever be wrong?”
[Did this wretched woman take the wrong medicine today, or has her brain malfunctioned? Shouldn’t she be glaring at me coldly? Why did she make that flashy Seventh Brother apologize and even say sorry to me herself? Wait… even if she apologizes, it shouldn’t sound like this.]
[Hmm… this apologetic look feels so strange. Honestly, her usual cold glare has more flavor. Uh… do I have some kind of masochistic tendency, liking her glare? No, it’s her face. Sigh… a beautiful face makes even scolding feel special.]
…
Leng Bingning felt her head about to explode from anger.
This man was truly unbearable. She had forced herself to say “I’m sorry” for the first time in years, and he still found fault with it—saying it didn’t have the same “flavor” as her usual glare.
Ah! Ah! Ah! How could such a broken-brained man exist in this world?!
Do they even know how difficult it was for her to say those three words?
Just as her anger surged again and she was about to glare at Zhu Tianfan, the smashed desk phone on the floor suddenly rang with Secretary Gu’s voice.
“CEO, Mr. Li Chen has come upstairs to see you!”
[He’s here, he’s here. The adulterer Li Chen that the wretched woman has been longing for is about to appear. Tsk tsk… the real show is about to begin!]
Li Chen… so it really was him.
What a Li Chen. What a “Brother Chen.” What an adulterer.
All the jealousy she once felt toward her adopted sister Leng Xiner, and all the unwillingness she had buried toward Li Chen, now turned into deep, bone-piercing hatred—and even a fleeting urge to kill.
Now she only needed to wait for him to come up. Today, she would see exactly how he would pretend to be a caring brother and deceive her. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
Wait… what did he mean by “the show is about to begin”? Why did it sound like Zhu Tianfan was enjoying her misfortune?
A trace of doubt—and unease—surfaced in her heart.
[Hehe… last night, her “good” sister and “good” best friend didn’t give her enough drugs, so she woke up halfway. I wonder how she’ll face the adulterer this time.]
[Will she run up crying and tell him she lost her innocence to five blond thugs and no longer deserves him, begging for comfort???]
[Or will Leng Xiner inform him, and he’ll come confess, force me into divorce, and then marry him with her “pure body”???]
[Or maybe she’ll neither admit it nor divorce me, but instead feel guilty and foolishly give away her company and family to help the adulterer???]
[Ptui! Just thinking about the mess she’s about to face is thrilling!]
Hearing Secretary Gu’s report, Zhu Tianfan instantly grew excited.
Last night, Leng Bingning hadn’t actually been abused by those five thugs—she had woken up midway and escaped home.
Now that Li Chen had come looking for her, she was about to face a complete disaster.
Of course, Zhu Tianfan didn’t realize that Leng Bingning, after hearing all his thoughts, was already staring coldly at him.
This resentful husband was still the same shameless man as ever, so eager to witness her downfall?
Heh… since he loved excitement so much, she would let him experience what a real disaster looked like.
Meanwhile, Li Chen entered the elevator with his access card, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.
He had three purposes for coming today.
First, to ask where his beloved Leng Xiner had gone, since she hadn’t contacted him all night or morning.
Second, to listen to Leng Bingning’s complaints and casually extract some business secrets from Bingning Corporation.
Third, he had recently started his own entertainment company and wanted her help in securing resources from her seventh brother Leng Xingche—such as promising artists and singers.
With confidence and a warm smile, Li Chen pushed open the office door.
“Bingning, I came to see you…”
