Disorder in marriage

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Ji Shanmei hurriedly hung up the phone and put it back in Gu Yunmo's coat pocket.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't mean to vomit on you."

Gu Yunmo was in a terrible mood at the moment, but considering that Ji Shanmei was also working for the company, he didn't hold it against her.

What he wants to do most right now is to change his clothes, then soak his whole body in disinfectant, and finally disinfect himself inside and out. It would also be necessary to go to the hospital to check if any bacteria have entered his body.

He picked up his coat, ready to call Jiang Jin.

Fearing that the call records would be discovered, Ji Shanmei grabbed his arm in a moment of panic.

"Mr. Gu! Please take off your clothes first, I'll have someone bring up a new set."

"Need not."

Gu Yunmo put the phone to his ear and had only taken a few steps toward the door when Ji Shanmei called him back again.

"Mr. Gu."

Turning around, he saw Ji Shanmei biting her lip, looking at him tenderly, "Can you not leave tonight?"

She turned off the brightest light in the room, and barefoot, slowly walked towards him.

Perhaps it was the alcohol that amplified all her evil thoughts, as Ji Shanmei practically clung to him.

"Mr. Gu, haven't you and your wife been intimate for a long time?"

She breathed her hot breath into his ear, her voice soft and seductive.

"I won't tell anyone. I haven't had a boyfriend in a long time either. We can each get what we need, okay, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Yunmo remained expressionless, not wanting to lift a finger, and disdainfully pushed her away with his phone.

"Manager Ji, focus your efforts on General Manager Du; perhaps he can offer a lower price."

Ji Shanmei's expression nearly broke down.

She was often relied upon by Gu Yunmo, either to help him fend off drinks or to help him gauge the opinions of his clients.

Although it was humiliating, it was a case of one party willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.

Men, frankly speaking, it's all the same old stuff, isn't it?

Why is Gu Yunmo an exception?

She felt she hadn't gone all out enough, so she gritted her teeth, grabbed her chest, and prepared to tear her clothes open.

Gu Yunmo grabbed her hand, stopping her from moving.

His face was grim, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"Think it through. If you dare to take it off, you can forget about wearing it again. I'm only asking you to drink with me now, but if you want to sleep with me, I can make sure you die in bed."

The room temperature was 26 degrees Celsius, and Ji Shanmei shivered inexplicably.

She was startled by Gu Yunmo's cold aura and suddenly realized how terrifying the man in front of her was.

"I'll pretend today's incident never happened. If it happens again, you can go to the HR department and submit your resignation yourself."

Ji Shanmei swallowed hard, her drunkenness completely gone. "Yes."

......

The next day, Yan Zhi went to see Madam Du and showed her a photo in which Ji Shanmei's face was blurred.

But Madam Du still recognized her.

"Xiao Zhi, this Ji Shanmei has been entangled with Gu Yunmo more than once! I saw her acting all shrewish at the banquet last time, and you still defended her?"

Yan Zhi calmly said, "I'm just stating the facts. She and President Du have no relationship whatsoever. Besides, I can't use you as a pawn. I'll handle my own affairs."

Madam Du waved her hand, "Whether I'm used as a pawn or not is irrelevant. Why would I care about such things now? I just can't stand those little vixens who destroy other people's families! I'll wipe them out one by one!"

"While the vixen is certainly despicable, men aren't without fault either, and they certainly shouldn't hide away so beautifully."

Yan Zhi took out the documents she had worked on overnight from her bag.

"I've listed your assets and marked out the assets that you could theoretically claim. If we prepare well in advance, we might be able to file for a peaceful divorce without going to court."

Madam Du glanced at it and saw that Yan Zhi had done it very carefully, with all the rules and regulations clearly laid out.

She was originally prepared to have a falling out with her husband, after all, he had cheated on her during her pregnancy and hadn't been idle during her postpartum period. She would never forget this grudge for the rest of her life.

She knew perfectly well how people in the industry, especially the men, described her.

So what if she's a tigress? So what if she's crazy? As long as she doesn't have an easy time, nobody else will either!

Yan Zhi advised her that for the sake of the child, the best way was to end it all in a dignified manner.

Besides, what's the point of making a man lose face? If he cared about his reputation, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

It would be most interesting if he lost everything and ended up with nothing.

He won't be left with any money or children!

After talking with Yan Zhi that day, Madam Du released all the grievances she had held back for so many years. After crying, she happily went home.

Yan Zhi was also happy. With a job, her mind and body no longer revolved around Gu Yunmo, and she had new hope for the future.

That evening, she met Xia Linglong and Ling Xiao for dinner at a restaurant.

The three were chatting happily when they saw Gu Yunmo leading a group of people in through the main gate.

She saw it but pretended not to, but unexpectedly Gu Yunmo abandoned the people around him and walked straight towards her.

He stood beside Yan Zhi and asked gently, "When are you planning to leave?"

Yan Zhi felt confused, but the lesson she learned from coming home late last time made her tremble with fear.

"Eat and leave."

Gu Yunmo raised his wrist to check the time. "Let's go home together in an hour."

After saying that, he affectionately ruffled Yan Zhi's hair with his large hand.

Xia Linglong and Yan Zhi both looked like they had seen a ghost.

Only Ling Xiao remained vigilant.

Gu Yunmo glanced at it provocatively, a cool smile playing on his lips.

"Someone is waiting for me, I'm going now."

Yan Zhi: "Mm."

They went to a private room, and as soon as they entered, Xia Linglong couldn't wait to ask, "You didn't make up with Gu Yunmo again, did you? Have some self-respect!"

Yan Zhi said firmly, "I'm very capable! Who knows what illness he might suddenly have again!"

Xia Linglong had some doubts.

"Could it be that she got jealous seeing Senior Ling Xiao there? Humph, that jerk finally knows how to cherish you!"

Yan Zhi gave a wry smile, "He's never liked me, so why am I jealous?"

At this moment, Ling Xiao, who had been silent until now, spoke in a deep voice: "The person standing next to Gu Yunmo just now was a high-ranking leader with a lot of influence. That leader has always disliked people with messy private lives and who are unfaithful to their families."

He looked at Yan Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, Gu Yunmo is just putting on an act for the leaders. That's just the kind of person he is—profit-driven, capable of anything!"

A gloomy feeling settled over Yan Zhi. She should have expected this to be the case, but she still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Xia Linglong comforted her, "It's okay, as long as you can see your daughter, just go along with the act! Let's see who can outact!"

"Um."

Ten minutes later, Jiang came to find her.

"Madam, Mr. Gu would like to ask you to go and say hello."

"oh."

Before entering the room, Jiang Jin repeatedly reminded her, "Madam, Old Master Qin has a lot of influence in the industry. Whether or not the land that Gu's family wants is approved depends entirely on whether Old Master Qin will give us face."

"Mr. Qin has always thought highly of Miss Yan Fei and President Gu. Please bear with whatever he says for the sake of the bigger picture."
