Wen Haowen flew into a rage at the lawyer’s failure and contemplated whether to change legal representation. He could no longer afford to drag on the divorce proceedings. He also had to quickly resolve the lawsuit.
Wen Haowen felt very exhausted.
He was frantic over the fact that Ning Shuqian appeared immune to his threats and bribes.
Truly, whatever you were most afraid of would always co to pass.
Wen Haowen was racking his brains on how to resolve the Ning Shuqian situation. The press reported on his infidelity and his mistress, as well as Yang Ziyu’s pregnancy. They had also exposed Ning Shuqian’s lawsuit against him.
Intent to cause harm, attempted murder, and adultery!
Any one of those three charges was enough to destroy Wen Haowen’s reputation and status.
The dia was in a frenzy and the public in a furor.
Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian had been together for so many years and always portrayed themselves to be an extrely loving couple. Wen Haowen even caused the death of his ex-wife for Ning Shuqian’s sake. Although Ning Shuqian failed to bear him any children even after more than 20 years of marriage, Wen Haowen never held it against her. He even forgave her for that fake pregnancy episode.
No one expected things to turn so ugly between the couple within the blink of an eye.
“The Wen Family drama is so exciting!”
Xia Ruya was wearing a white-colored short skirt with slim suspenders that accentuated the loveliness of her shoulders and exposed the smooth skin of her chest area. The short skirt still managed to cover her modesty but left her long, fair legs completely bare.
Her plastic surgery was an obvious success.
She leaned into Chu Jingnan and the two of them behaved in an ambiguously intimate manner.
The distance between their bodies was not too near but not too far—just enough to leave one hanging for more.
“A married couple turning into enemies overnight and trying to claw each other to death. It is truly an exciting drama.”
Chu Jingnan leaned against the sofa with a glass of red wine in hand. An intoxicating fragrance wafted from that amber liquid. It was undoubtedly an expensive drink.
“Let’s guess if the eldest daughter of the Wen Family was behind this fracas!”
She bit her lips and her voice was full of playfulness when she ntioned “the eldest daughter of the Wen Family”. Nevertheless, there was a slithery cold glint in her eyes, as she fixed her gaze on Chu Jingnan.
She wanted to see how Chu Jingnan would react at the ntion of Wen Xinya.
“So what if it was her? So what if it wasn’t?” Chu Jingnan didn’t answer her directly.
He was not too sure whether Wen Xinya was behind that whole ss, but he was certain that she definitely played a part in it and helped fan the flas.
Wen Xinya was not soone who would miss out on any chance to strike at her enemies.
He had first-hand experience of this.
His face was calm and neutral, and Xia Ruya couldn’t help feeling sowhat disappointed. “If she was the one who did this to her own father, then she is truly a ruthless woman. Most n steer clear of such females as if they are venomous snakes, but I wonder if you are like most n?”
Xia Ruya felt rather vexed.
Since she started working with Chu Jingnan, the two of them had beco closer but maintained an ambiguous distance. It was like viewing blossoms through a misty haze.
Chu Jingnan had remarkable self-restraint and had never been an easy seduction target.
This made Xia Ruya worry that her attractiveness had greatly declined after her plastic surgery. She was unwilling to concede defeat and it fired her desire to conquer Chu Jingnan.
Chu Jingnan swirled his glass gently. “Don’t you think that the more ruthless a woman is, the more exciting it would be to subdue her? To watch her fall off her high pedestal, put down all her pride and lower her body just for you? Don’t you think this kind of ga would be very thrilling?”
He was indeed filled with the desire to subjugate Wen Xinya.
Xia Ruya’s expression changed and she gave a sudden laugh. “Your taste is truly...” She slowly raised her glass of red wine and gently parted her pinkish, plump lips to utter a single word: “Perverted!”
She suspected that this was the reason Chu Jingnan remained so obsessed with Wen Xinya, while completely ignoring her own feminine wiles.
Feeling slightly perturbed, she added, “n are indeed wretched creatures.”
They would never take a second look at won who flung themselves at them but pined after those who were completely unobtainable.
She couldn’t help feeling sowhat distressed at the thought of how she had unwittingly turned into one of those won who made themselves readily available to n, only to be disdained.
Chu Jingnan gently lifted her chin and said in a soft voice, “She is the venomous Devil’s Snare while you are the poisonous white water-lily. I wonder which of you ladies is more ruthless and vicious?”
His warm manner was teasing, which in turn made his voice sound especially low and alluring.
Xia Ruya gave an involuntary chuckle. Her laugh was gracious and enchanting. “What do you think?”
Chu Jingnan’s words implied that both she and Wen Xinya were won that n wished to conquer. They were not those inferior specins who threw themselves at n.
Chu Jingnan let go of her face and gave a slight wave. “I truly hope that I will be able to witness the outco one day.”
He truly wished to know.
“You should be hoping that I am more formidable. After all, we are in a partnership. We are bound together for better or for worse.” Xia Ruya couldn’t help sighing. Chu Jingnan was indeed a very charming man. Most won would not be able to resist his allure.
“Oh yes, how is T-K Group’s new product developnt coming along? It has almost been a year. This takeover battle has already been overly prolonged.”
Chu Jingnan smoothly changed the topic.
n should never discuss a woman with another female. It was a wise decision to know it was ti to stop.
Xia Ruya gave a faint smile but didn’t try to continue the previous topic. “The product developnt is going rather smoothly. It is estimated that the new product can go on the market next year in March. T-K Group possesses the best product strategy and advertising team, both of which are beyond Lanxin Company’s ans. I am confident that T-K Group’s product will dominate the market once it goes public.”
Even Mr. Z was full of praises for her plan. She believed that they would be able to deal Lanxin Company a heavy blow this ti and help T-K Group completely take over Country Z’s health supplents market.
Chu Jingnan smiled. “I guess you are the more formidable one for now!”
Her coback plan was indeed quite brilliant.
