Zhu Tianfan looked up. As expected, it was that adulterer Li Chen—the same scheming bastard. But why was he targeting him?
He wasn’t the original bootlicker. He didn’t love Leng Bingning, this domineering CEO wife, nor would he kneel and beg her not to divorce him.
If she brought up divorce now, he’d gladly take the 50 million and run off with Gu Qingcheng, settling down in some rural village with five beauties to enjoy his retirement.
Zhu Tianfan thought for a moment… could it be that Li Chen was plotting something again?
Just an hour ago, Li Chen had been slapped twice by Leng Bingning. And now he was shamelessly crawling back like a dog. What a coincidence too—running into them right here in the hotel restaurant.
[Hahaha… I suddenly remembered why this shameless adulterer came looking for this vicious woman. It seems his father promised that if he could obtain some business secrets beneficial to the Li family from her, he would legitimize his status as an illegitimate son, allowing him to enter the Li family genealogy and compete with his brothers for the position of future patriarch!]
[Right! Not long ago, the adulterer secretly started an entertainment company with only 15 employees. The money came from Leng Xiner’s personal savings. He wants to prove his ability to his father, but without good film resources or talented artists and singers, the company is on the verge of collapse!]
[Today, he’s here to get some film resources, promising talents, and singers from that flashy seventh brother!]
[And this vicious woman, just to secure a place in his heart, will shamelessly cling to that flashy seventh brother, begging him to share some resources with the adulterer. But the adulterer is an ungrateful wolf. She’s basically pushing her own brother into ruin!]
[In less than a year, that flashy seventh brother will foolishly hand over massive resources to the adulterer out of blind devotion. Then the adulterer and Leng Xiner will use all kinds of schemes to destroy his reputation, forcing him into complete disgrace!]
[Hahaha… what she won’t expect is that after gaining those resources, the adulterer won’t be grateful at all. Instead, he’ll start grooming the woman she hates the most—Leng Xiner—into an entertainment empress!]
[Tch! This vicious woman deserves a miserable end. All seven of her doting brothers will be ruined by her own hands! Anyone who stays with her ends up badly. Once I get that 50 million, I’m divorcing her immediately and running off with Gu Qingcheng. Otherwise, she might drag me down too!]
What?! I’m the one who destroyed Seventh Brother’s future?!
Leng Bingning froze in her seat, her mind filled with shock and regret.
She had always believed that Li Chen had deliberately plotted against her, leading to her superstar seventh brother’s downfall… even to the point of being trafficked to a foreign country and ruined.
But now, the truth was that she herself had caused everything… even eagerly delivering her brother straight into Li Chen’s hands.
How could Li Chen be such a heartless ingrate? Why would he use such ruthless methods against her, her seven brothers, and the entire Leng family? Was it because he was an illegitimate son of the Li family? New chapters come out on NovelPing first.
Leng Bingning questioned herself over and over, yet found no answer.
As for this unfortunate husband constantly thinking about divorcing and running away, she curled her lips in disdain. He just wanted more money.
A domineering CEO lacked everything except money. If 10 million per month wasn’t enough, then 50 million it was. That should satisfy him.
And if 50 million still wasn’t enough, then 100 million a month as pocket money—surely that would do. At worst, she’d just work harder to earn more and support him.
…
Meanwhile, Li Chen looked at Zhu Tianfan, who sat there without daring to refute or speak, pretending to be lost in thought. His disdain only grew.
To be honest, even as a lowly illegitimate son from a wealthy family, Li Chen looked down on Zhu Tianfan. A man like him was a disgrace to men.
He didn’t know what was special about today, but Leng Bingning had actually brought this useless husband along to host her brother for a French meal.
And Zhu Tianfan really was hopeless—he didn’t even know that Western cuisine required knives and forks, asking for chopsticks during a French banquet. It was laughable.
After mocking him inwardly, Li Chen pulled over a chair and sat directly in front of Leng Bingning, gazing at her affectionately, his eyes filled with doting warmth.
“Bingning, does your hand still hurt? How about Brother Chen takes you to get it checked?”
Li Chen’s shamelessness was on another level, and his composure was just as impressive. Compared to his ambitions for career and status, the humiliation of being slapped meant nothing.
As long as he gained power and position, everything would fall into place. At that point, not only Leng Bingning, but even her trillion-worth company and the entire Leng family would belong to him.
Hearing such greasy, sickening words, Zhu Tianfan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly at both of them.
This shameless pair… flirting right in front of him. If they wanted to be together so badly, they could just ask him for a divorce. It wasn’t like he would refuse.
Determined to help this couple get together as quickly as possible, Zhu Tianfan practically bent over backward.
“Wife, your Brother Chen is here. I’ll step aside.”
[Tsk tsk… that adulterer really is thick-skinned. He’s already back again. Why don’t I have such shamelessness? Vicious woman, I’ve already helped you this much so you can be with him sooner. I really am such a smart, considerate, and thoughtful husband!]
[Wait… why is this vicious woman still sitting there holding her glass instead of going up to him sweetly and calling him Brother Chen? Didn’t she used to cling to him eagerly? Now she’s pretending to be reserved? Tch, how shameless!] Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
[Hahaha… I get it now. She must want to have a romantic Western meal alone with him! Tch! This shameless pair… even eating a meal has to be so troublesome. Fine, as a good husband, how can I not help my wife?]
[Vicious woman, I get it! I get it! I’ll take that flashy seventh brother and the beautiful secretary to another restaurant for a Chinese feast, leaving this place for you two lovebirds!]
[Wait… why am I even angry? This is a good thing! As a good husband, I should fulfill my domineering CEO wife’s wishes. Then tomorrow when she brings up divorce, I can ask for more money!]
[La la la… today is a good day! Everything I wish for will come true! Tomorrow will be another good day…]
“Seventh—ah, no, Seventh Brother, Secretary Gu, let’s go. I’ll take you both to have a Chinese feast!”
While humming happily in his mind, Zhu Tianfan stood up, about to lead Leng Xingche and Gu Qingcheng away.
But the next moment, Leng Bingning, her face icy cold, pressed him back down into his seat.
“Sit down!”
Good… very good!!!
She had spent 3 million specifically to treat this unfortunate husband, yet he wasn’t satisfied—he didn’t even want to eat!
What a “wonderful” husband. A man practically begging to be cuckolded!
He was actually hoping his domineering CEO wife would go off and flirt with that adulterer!
He was even humming a cheerful song, already thinking about raising the price for tomorrow’s divorce!
Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!!!
Leng Bingning was so furious that the veins on her forehead bulged. She wanted nothing more than to flip the entire table. Just having a meal had turned into something this infuriating!
Forcing down the raging fire in her chest, she steadied herself and spoke through clenched teeth, “Husband, where do you think you’re going?”
“Today’s French meal… was specially prepared for you.”
