Chapter 160: Chapter 160 You Deserve to be Divorced

Outside stood Shen Molin.

She was still in the same clothes as during the day, a white blouse paired with a matching pencil skirt. She picked up on the faint scent of alcohol on the man and her thoughts began to drift.

Ji Muye was dressed in a black long-sleeve, long-pants pajama set with an additional long robe wrapped around him, entirely covered up from head to toe.

Shen Molin held documents in her hand and respectfully began, “President Ji, these are the newly arrived urgent documents that require your signature.”

He didn’t take them.

Ji Muye would never sign any documents after drinking.

He would rather give up on the project than make decisions while impaired.

Yan Dong was very clear about this, but Shen Molin didn’t know.

She had purposely come to him at this time, her outfit a tad tighter than the regular size, showcasing her mature figure most provocatively.

However, Ji Muye’s eyes were cold, his tone icy, and one could sense the suppressed anger in his voice.

“Secretary Shen, if you cannot manage your tasks during working hours, then go to HR and find another job.”

From a superior’s perspective, Ji Muye was anything but polite.

Shen Molin’s face turned pale at once.

She hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, President Ji, I won’t do it again.”

Shen Molin retracted the documents, bowed earnestly to Ji Muye, her attitude sincere, “I’ve disturbed your rest, President Ji, I will leave immediately.”

She walked away quickly, yet as she entered the elevator, she caught sight of Ji Muye’s door left ajar; she didn’t have to guess to know he must have been watching the room across.

Shen Molin’s expression turned ugly, her heart filled with rage: Lu Xining, you’ve ruined my life, so why are you the one enjoying blessings?

Lu Xining in the room across was oblivious to the incident.

After dinner, it wasn’t long before she slipped into sleep, resting peacefully until dawn.

The next day, in the hotel restaurant.

Lu Xining sat face to face with Fu Junhang for breakfast, her fair wrist adorned with a translucent jade bracelet, both chatting naturally with a good atmosphere between them.

Ji Muye and Zhou Jiawang emerged from the elevator at the same time.

Ever since their encounter at Lu Xining’s room door the previous night, a sense of hostility had formed between them.

Thinking back to the events they overheard last night, their gazes were filled with coldness, yet superficially, they seemed calm.

Lu Xining sat by the window.

It was still early, and the breakfast crowd was sparse; the two men took seats near her.

Unexpectedly for Lu Xining, they even sat at the same table.

Ji Muye could find out about the Zhou Family and Lu Xining, and naturally, Zhou Jiawang could investigate his and Lu Xining’s five-year marriage.

Both men felt the other had caused harm to Lu Xining and wanted to stand up for her, their words filled with an undercurrent of sharp hostility.

“I heard that President Ji, out of righteousness, sent his long-cherished ‘white moonlight’ to a place with full board and lodging. President Ji’s courage is truly admirable, a rarity for someone to be so heartless,” Zhou Jiawang said smoothly, yet each word pierced to the core.

“Indeed, President Ji used to neglect even his own wife for this ‘white moonlight,’ even making the news with his son dining together with her,” the taunt continued.

“Speaking of which, I must not be mistaken, it wasn’t long after that news when President Ji was dumped by his ex-wife and divorced, right?”

At these words, Ji Muye narrowed his eyes.

Five years ago, upon learning of the trending topic, Ji Muye immediately ordered Yan Dong to pull the story from the news.

It was only a matter of minutes before and after.

Yet, someone deliberately sent it to Lu Xining; everything was too conveniently orchestrated.

Hearing Zhou Jiawang’s words, he frowned, suspecting that Zhou Jiawang had a hand in it.

In yesterday’s information, there was evidence of Zhou Jiawang traveling back and forth between abroad and Jingzhou multiple times, as well as his purchase of an apartment near Jingzhou A University. No matter how you look at it, he seemed to be harboring ill intentions towards Lu Xining.

Ji Muye’s gaze darkened, “So what if I’m divorced?”

Compared to Zhou Jiawang’s lengthy sarcasm, his indifferent demeanor gave the impression that he didn’t care about Lu Xining at all.

“It’s nothing, you deserved to be divorced.”

For a gentleman, it was extremely impolite and ungracious for Zhou Jiawang to utter such words.

But the thought of Lu Xining having wasted five years of her youth on the man before him made him very uncomfortable.

Ji Muye’s hand, holding his coffee, paused for a moment.

His piercing gaze swept towards the man opposite him, and he asked coldly, “And on what grounds does President Zhou speak to me like this?”

Zhou Jiawang chuckled lightly, “As her childhood sweetheart, naturally.”

“Childhood sweetheart?” scoffed Ji Muye coldly.

His voice was as chilly as the first impression he gave: heartless, indifferent, and devoid of any warmth.

Ji Muye said no more.

He didn’t want to reopen her old wounds in front of Lu Xining and took a sip of his coffee.

He seemed unconcerned with Zhou Jiawang’s words.

Ji Muye knew that if time could be rewound, Lu Xining might not choose those three years in Port City, so this man before him was of no concern.

The restaurant in the early morning was peaceful and serene.

The conversation between the two men was clearly heard by Lu Xining, who put down her fork and knife, turned her head, and spoke irritably.

“Are you two done yet?”

Guests at nearby tables turned their heads, but upon seeing Ji Muye and Zhou Jiawang, they quickly averted their gazes.

They knew they were here to bid against strong competitors: Shi’an Group and Rongshan Technology.

As for the company behind Lu Xining, some had investigated it—a small company established abroad, nothing to fear.

They were unaware of the relationship between Lu Xining and the two men; hearing her shout at them so rudely, they waited to see her face the consequences.

But…

Ji Muye’s expression, with fine brows slightly furrowed and lips pressed together, did not show any intention of reprimanding Lu Xining.

And Zhou Jiawang, looking into Lu Xining’s eyes, turned pale as the words Zhong Heyang had said the night before echoed in his ears.

If it was all true, he didn’t know how to face her.

He simply bowed his head and continued with his breakfast.

The crowd fell silent: Wait, just like that, after being scolded by two big shots?

Lu Xining turned back to continue her breakfast, completely ignoring the grim-faced Ji Muye and Zhou Jiawang, who wanted to speak but didn’t dare to meet her gaze.

Fu Junhang sat opposite, catching every expression of the two men, a smile that was not quite a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He was looking forward to the day when those high and mighty men would bow down and submit to Lu Xining.

He believed that the day wouldn’t be too long in coming.

After breakfast, Lu Xining left with Fu Junhang. They needed to go and take another look at the area near Redwood Resort.

Ji Muye and Zhou Jiawang didn’t stay long either.

Almost immediately after Lu Xining entered the elevator, they too got up and left the restaurant.

Not far from their spot, behind a screen of green plants, a man with average looks but radiating hostility stabbed a large piece of steak with his fork, chewing it voraciously.

Two men, reeking of underhandedness, quickly walked toward him.

“Boss, we found out.”

“The woman who broke the second brother’s ‘little brother’ is called Lu Xining.”
