Wen Ying carefully looked at the man standing in front of him. He was wearing a dark gray knitted sweater, and the snowflake element had a youthful and active color, simple and beautiful. He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs. He also wears a pair of black gloves with exposed fingertips. The childishness of the big boy is still intact, only the messy hair falling on his forehead also shows a trace of decadence as a man.
After Yan Zhengqi threw the check away, he put one hand into his trouser pocket, obviously angry, but there was a sense of fatigue in his posture that he was too lazy to argue with her.
This kind of controversy is obviously not the only one.
The two are about the same age, graduated from the same school with the same major, and were also the best couples in the school that attracted attention when they were in school. However, Yan's family is a wealthy family, and the original owner's family background is very ordinary. Her mother passed away when she was young, and she was raised by her father alone. Her father was just an ordinary teacher. Perhaps because of this, she has no experience in managing marriages that can be used for reference.
In the beginning, their marriage was happy and sweet. After all, they were married because of true love. Yan Zhengqi refused the request of family marriage for her and insisted on marrying her. For this reason, he was "exiled" from the head office to a subsidiary by the Yan family. , His efforts were recognized by the original owner, and for this reason, he was willing to endure his family's domineering instructions for him. But as time went on, contradictions were quickly revealed. She has excellent business skills, and after graduation, she joined Yan's Group and served as the deputy general manager of a subsidiary, assisting her husband Yan Zhengqi who is the general manager. Contradictions arise from this.
"Speak!" The man took half a step forward. He couldn't bear her silence and urged her.
"Since nothing happened to you, why are you so nervous?" Wen Ying kicked away the half glass at her feet and walked all the way out, "I only allow you to pity her mother who is seriously ill, and it's too hard to work multiple jobs by yourself. Why don't I sympathize with her if she gives one million for free?"
"..."
"Since you rejected the check for her, I won't take the trouble to please you." She half-raised her hands as a sign of surrender, "She is pure and pure, I shouldn't defile her with dirty money, is this okay?"
"You're really—" He gritted his teeth, and the anger in his eyes was about to come out, "It's unreasonable!"
She turned her head back suddenly, her gaze was as cold as ice, "Who the hell is unreasonable? Is it because I am messing around outside? Is it because I am hooking up with little stars, making scandal headlines all the time? Is it because I have too much money?" No place to spend, spread love everywhere?"
"I've said that Shen Ye and I are not what you think. You women can't tolerate other people's advantages? That's right, you are amazing. You can support a company by yourself, and the whole company says hello. But she also Not bad, her life is even more difficult, she has to pay her mother's medical expenses and her younger brother's tuition fees, unlike you, at least your father didn't make you suffer. But she didn't complain at all, she worked hard and never thought about it Make money by selling yourself." He once misunderstood that she was that kind of woman, and he insulted her so much, and when he knew who she really was, he naturally felt guilty.
He said: "She was able to survive under such pressure and did not succumb to society. It is really moving."
Wen Ying's hand fell down unknowingly, and her nails dug into the leather sofa, "Oh, did she move you? Did it move your heart, or your kidney?"
Yan Zhengqi didn't expect to bother to explain, but in exchange for this sentence, he dropped his glass again angrily, "Don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate about the matter between me and her!"
"Between you and her." She sneered, "A person who did something dirty first, is he afraid of how others will look at him?"
He felt that his patience was exhausted and he couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed the car keys on the table and left.
She watched him go all the way to the door, and asked abruptly: "There is a high-level meeting at ten o'clock, do you dare to ask Mr. Yan if he is willing to take the time to attend?"
Her response was a "bang", and the door was slammed shut!
After the "war", the room was deserted and silent, full of mess, just like this precarious marriage.
Yan Zhengqi married a woman from an ordinary family and was "exiled" for this. Everyone in the Yan family knew about it, and they were waiting to see his jokes. The original owner didn't want her husband to be ridiculed by others, and she refused to admit that she was worse than those married ladies, so she put a hundred times more energy into running the company. But she neglected her family because of it. And her ability at work has gradually surpassed that of Yan Zhengqi, and gossips from all over the company are endless. In the second year, an expansion crisis broke out in the subsidiary. Yan Zhengqi made a mistake in his decision-making. At the same time, the company’s secrets were leaked to the rival company by a commercial spy. Raging tide. Since then, the original owner has established a reputation in the company. When people mention her name, they will be in awe, but they will be flat to the general manager. They called the original owner the Empress Dowager, who listened to the government behind the curtain, and Yan Zhengqi was just her puppet.
All kinds of reasons converged, so that the man with a sunny and cheerful personality when he was studying became depressed day by day because of his lack of ambition. The two quarreled countless times, from Yan Zhengqi's misbehavior to her aggressive style, as well as countless trivial matters, large and small, and almost everything that could be smashed in the room was smashed until they were exhausted.
By the third year, their marriage was like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and without waves. They rarely talked anymore, Wen Ying was busy with work, and Yan Zhengqi reduced the number of times he went home. The passion in the first marriage is sweet and gluey, like the grit at the fingertips relentlessly passing by.
Even the quarrel seemed rare, and this quarrel was the first time they had spoken so much in recent months.
Wen Ying could feel that the original owner still loved Yan Zhengqi, otherwise, with her personality, she would have filed for divorce when she found out the mistake, and would not let the other party wear down her pride inch by inch. But she didn't say it, she was hurt by him, so she used her spikes to stab each other continuously, and he also used cheating as a way of revenge to continue to hurt her. In a vicious circle, they torment each other, and their feelings slowly fall into an irreversible abyss.
She was distracted thinking about the script of the play, until she gradually had a plan in her mind, then she lowered her head and sent him a message.
"Let Lao Zhou drive the car, don't move the steering wheel."
Of course she didn't receive a reply, and she didn't care about him anymore.
Wen Ying wore flat soft slippers to examine their house. The desolate single-family villa, because of the long-term disappearance of the male owner and his departure just now, seemed to have taken away the remaining trace of popularity. On the sofa was the coat she was going to wear when going out, and the cigarette case he had accidentally forgotten to take away. On the coffee table was a lighter, which he had put there before.
The kitchen was cleaned clean, as was the stove, apparently it hadn't been fired for several days.
As she walked, she walked back to the living room and accidentally stepped on glass shards, causing her feet to hurt. She knelt down to pick up broken glass, but was stopped. It was Aunt Zhang, who was in charge of the kitchen and sanitation work at home, with a round face, with three points of caution and two points of sighing.
She didn't dare to interfere with their affairs, she didn't show up until then, and said hastily: "Let me come, Madam, you go and rest for a while."
Wen Ying nodded, leaned tiredly on the sofa, without saying a word. After tidying up, Aunt Zhang came to her and asked in a low voice, "Ma'am, why don't you treat the wound..."
"Forget." Her voice was weak, "Help me get a Band-Aid."
Aunt Zhang prepared everything for her, and put disinfectant, cotton swabs, and bandages on the coffee table in front of her. She looked at Wen Ying as if she had lost her soul. She didn't have the domineering aura just now, and she said a little unfairly: "Hey, sir, this is really too much. How can he be with other women. Even if he is drinking, he should You are drinking at home, why drink outside? I can’t blame you for being angry when you drink on a bed.”
"But I see that he is really not with that woman, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to explain to you." She couldn't help but say something nice for the male master, trying to ease the relationship between husband and wife.
"What's the difference?"
Wen Ying said softly: "Even if it's not her, it's someone else, and it's the same to me."
"Then you..."
"Yesterday was our wedding anniversary." She took out a low-key and luxurious box from her coat pocket, and opened it to find a mechanical watch. I went to buy it, he likes this brand very much, it is an anniversary gift.”
"Aunt Zhang, did I do something wrong again?"
Aunt Zhang sighed, and felt a little distressed for her, "Madam, this is not your fault, you are absolutely right."
Wen Ying knew that at the current stage, Shen Ye and Yan Zhengqi had a close relationship, but she didn't know that he was married, their relationship was just a little ambiguous. But a man will feel pity for a woman, even if it doesn't develop to a deeper level, it is enough to make the original owner notice the subtle difference and become vigilant.
According to the development of the original track, the original owner's method was not just to write a check, but to suppress Shen Ye's career, and even threatened her with her brother's future, pressing her every step of the way.
And in the absence of those two people's further development, all her means of targeting innocent women who don't know are enough to make her fall from the commanding heights of morality. Maybe her accusation could embarrass Shen Ye at the beginning, gain the sympathy of others, and the guilt of her husband, but as time passed, especially after Yan Zhengqi divorced her, she still held onto Shen Ye, and she became disgusting.
Her relentless pursuit will only make people discover the beautiful qualities in Shen Ye, and discover how much the other party can tolerate her unscrupulousness. Even though she lost the Yan family as her backer, Shen Ye did not take advantage of Gu Yuanzhou's power to fight back against her, but treated her tenderly, feeling sorry for her divorce.
Under such a comparison, how could Yan Zhengqi change his mind
She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and after tidying herself up, she went out to the company. During the day, she was busy with executive meetings and meetings with partners, etc., until evening. The itinerary included dinners with CEOs of other companies. It stands to reason that Yan Zhengqi, the top person in charge, should have come forward, but Wen Ying asked her secretary to call several times, but Yan Zhengqi didn't answer.
"Let me go." She stood up from the office chair, "If Boss Yan calls back, tell him the location."
"OK."
The venue for the dinner was a famous hotel in C City, downstairs of the resplendent hotel, the concierge respectfully opened the car door for the guests. Stepping out of the private car, there is an endless sea of cars behind you. When you enter the hotel, you will be cut off from the hustle and bustle behind you, but you will step into another more cruel place of battle.
Wen Ying didn't expect to meet Gu Yuanzhou in the hall, he was talking to the assistant with his head sideways. He was wearing a black zippered sweater with a metallic zipper all the way up. The neckline stood up like a fish's mouth and slightly opened, revealing a section of white shirt. For such an occasion, it looked casual and relaxed, but it would not give people a feeling of contempt.
He was two years older than Yan Zhengqi, but he looked much more mature. Viewed from the side, the man's nose bridge is straight, his jaw line is simple and powerful, and his casual attitude gives people a natural and luxurious feeling. When he noticed her gaze on him, he turned his head and looked at her slightly.
The man's eyes were deep, he was a little surprised when he saw her, and then returned to normal.
Wen Ying nodded with him, "Mr. Gu."
"So it's Boss Wen who came today." The smile on his lips suddenly deepened. As Wen Ying was walking, his gaze stayed on her until she couldn't help but stop and asked him calmly: "Mr. Gu, won't you go upstairs?"
Only then did he approach her until he passed the safety line between people. Once he entered, he would give people a sense of aggression. As if he didn't realize it, he still took a step forward. Before she backed away, the unique charm of a male had already invaded.
He leaned over slightly, and his low and sweet voice rang in her ears, "The coat tag is not cut."
