Disorder in marriage

The next day, Yan Zhi left home even earlier than Gu Yunmo, and went directly to Ling Xiao's law firm in a business suit to report for duty.

The law firm was actually started by the three of them together after they graduated from university. However, she gradually faded out of the legal profession after she got pregnant, got married, and had children.

The law firm has been thriving in recent years, but almost no one remembers her name anymore.

Early in the morning, Yan Zhi and Madam Du sat in Ling Xiao's office discussing divorce plans.

Currently, Mrs. Du is still in the stage of not having a complete falling out with her husband. She plans to first collect evidence and then take back custody of the children and the property that should belong to her.

Upon learning that Mr. Du had been frequently seen with his mistress at Flex Bar recently, Yan Zhi went to Flex that very night to stake out the place.

As eight o'clock approached, the night grew increasingly dark, and more and more people of all kinds filled the hall.

Yan Zhi bribed the waiter in President Du's private room, changed into the same uniform, and successfully sneaked into President Du's private room.

"Mr. Gu, what's your thought process regarding the collaboration project I proposed earlier?"

Yan Zhi's body stiffened for a moment.

So focused on Mr. Du, they didn't notice the arrogant man surrounded by the crowd at the very back.

Gu Yunmo sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed in gloom. In this world of extravagance and fame, he possessed an air of otherworldly nobility.

He was sitting next to Jiang Jin and Ji Shanmei. She could understand Jiang Jin being there, but Ji Shanmei, a junior manager, had been seen with Gu Yunmo in such places before.

She dared not think too much about the relationship between the two, after all, she was already being cuckolded by Yan Fei.

"Mr. Du, we haven't even had a drink yet, and you're already talking business? Are you in such a hurry?"

General Manager Du: "Oh? Then what brilliant ideas does Manager Ji have?"

"Haste makes waste," as the saying goes.

Ji Shanmei picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass for President Du with a charming and alluring manner.

President Du stared at Ji Shanmei with a lecherous look. From Yan Zhi's perspective, Gu Yunmo gave her a look, and Ji Shanmei immediately understood and stood up.

People around them were encouraging them to drink the nuptial wine, so Yan Zhi quickly took out her phone and secretly snapped a few photos.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she made a quick getaway.

After changing her clothes in the dressing room, she had just stepped out when she bumped into Gu Yunmo and Jiang Jin standing in the corridor, and she stopped in her tracks.

Gu Yunmo leaned against the wall, his hands in the pockets of his black trousers, his indifferent gaze slowly moving from the ground to the center of her face.

"cell phone."

Yan Zhi gripped the bag strap tightly. "What?"

"Delete the photos, don't make me do it again."

Yan Zhi came for Madam Du's sake; if the photos are deleted, then tonight's trip will have been for nothing.

"What right do you have to interfere in my affairs? I have my reasons for taking those photos."

Gu Yunmo remained cold and unresponsive. "You photographed Ji Shanmei. Do you know that this is called implicating the innocent? What that guy surnamed Du did behind his wife's back has nothing to do with Ji Shanmei."

Yan Zhi knew, of course, that President Du had another mistress, but she felt she had to get revenge after being disgusted by Ji Shanmei time and time again.

She took the photo intentionally, hoping to use Mrs. Du to teach Ji Shanmei a lesson.

She had everything planned out, but she never expected Gu Yunmo to discover her, and even less did she expect Gu Yunmo to stand up for Ji Shanmei.

"What's your relationship with Ji Shanmei? Did you sleep together?"

Gu Yunmo's eyes were visibly filled with incomprehension.

"Do you start thinking that way every time there's a member of the opposite sex around me?"

Yan Zhi also admitted that she had a problem. When she liked Gu Yunmo before, she was jealous and possessive. If Gu Yunmo didn't come home after 10 p.m., she would call to check up on him.

Once, upon hearing that a young woman in the company was showing interest in Gu Yunmo, she immediately went to deliver him food despite her pregnant belly, asserting her dominance.

Yan Zhi was immature at the time and foolishly thought she could grow old with Gu Yunmo.

"Then what am I supposed to think?"

She gave a bitter smile, which was met with the man's cold reply: "You're sick."

This sentence is just as hurtful as the words "I don't love you".

"You should spend less time with people like Mrs. Du in the future, so you don't embarrass me in public. Making your husband lose face in public is the biggest mistake a wife can make."

"In your eyes, are we legal wives supposed to endure humiliation and be bullied to the point of being unable to fight back?"

Yan Zhi was so anxious and angry that she trembled, her chest filled with grief and rage.

At this moment, Jiang Jin spoke up to explain, "Madam, Mr. Du is one of our business partners. Even if you want to help Mrs. Du, you have to consider the occasion. If her privacy is leaked in Mr. Gu's place, who will dare to do business with Mr. Gu in the future?"

Yan Zhi realized that what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

As she hesitated, Gu Yunmo stopped looking at her.

"If anything goes wrong in the future, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. If you're so capable, don't come begging me to clean up your mess."

After saying that, he led Jiang Jin back to the private room.

......

Ji Shanmei drank three bottles of Rémy Martin, two bottles of red wine, and a glass of white wine. She has a high alcohol tolerance, but she couldn't handle drinking like that.

Soon, the discussion was almost over, and since the hotel was upstairs, Jiang Jin led President Du and the others up to rest.

Inside the private room, Ji Shanmei, barely suppressing her drunkenness, approached Gu Yunmo.

"Mr. Gu, I've inquired. Mr. Du's lowest offer is 30 million, but we still have room for negotiation."

"Yes, you've worked hard. You should go upstairs and rest too."

"OK."

Ji Shanmei had just stood up when her legs suddenly gave way and she collapsed onto Gu Yunmo.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I... I think I'm a little drunk."

Gu Yunmo supported her arm with his large hand, "Can you still walk?"

Ji Shanmei shook her head.

Gu Yunmo was silent for two seconds. This kind of place was full of hooligans who would take advantage of people's drunkenness. It would be too dangerous to leave Ji Shanmei alone in such a drunken state.

After thinking for a moment, he picked her up horizontally.

......

Yan Zhi stood there for a long time before obediently deleting the photos.

As she left Flex, she saw Gu Yunmo carrying Ji Shanmei out of the private room, Ji Shanmei's delicate arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

She was breathing heavily, and she wanted to rush up and yell at him, but if she did that, she would only make herself look bad.

Gu Yunmo took large strides and quickly got on the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the hotel floor. Yan Zhi waited and waited downstairs, but Gu Yunmo never came down.

She was still unwilling to give up, so she took out her phone and called Gu Yunmo. The call was answered unexpectedly quickly.

"Feed? Mrs. Gu."

It was Ji Shanmei's voice.

A man and a woman, both adults, alone in a room, what else is there to say?

You can't blame her for having a head full of lewd thoughts. Since things have come to this, what difference does it make whether she does it or not?

Where is Gu Yunmo?

Ji Shanmei: "He's taking a shower."

Yan Zhi's eyes darkened, and she coldly curled her lips into a smile.

"Ji Shanmei, this is the fourth time already."

The first time, she came to their door to provoke them. The second time, she staged a scene at a banquet. The third time, she deliberately went to the old house to make her presence known.

If she still can't see that Ji Shanmei wants to climb the social ladder, then she's a fool.

"Mrs. Gu, this is nothing. I heard you snatched Mr. Gu away from someone else. This is karma."
