Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf

Liang Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and asked:

"You mean, ten thousand yuan is a cheap price, is that right?"

Lin Xiao sighed and replied:

"It's not just cheap, it's a losing proposition."

"Your Majesty, you have lived in the deep palace for so long that you have never bought furniture or appliances, so naturally you do not know how much these furniture and appliances are worth."

Lin Xiao lay down on the large leather sofa and poked the back of the sofa with her finger:

"It's a genuine leather sofa from this brand, a very basic model, and it sells for over ten thousand yuan online. Even if the renovation company has a partnership with the manufacturer, how cheap can it be? Do you think you can get it for a few hundred or a thousand yuan?"

"We'll see..."

Lin Xiao pointed towards the direction of the courtyard gate:

"And that gate in the yard, even the basic model from that brand sells for 20,000 yuan online!"

Lin Xiao stretched on the sofa, muttering to himself:

"It's still more comfortable to lie on a sofa from a big brand."

Another question:

"Tell me quickly, who exactly found you a renovation company?"

Liang Yu was shocked by the price Lin Xiao mentioned.

She sat down silently next to Lin Xiao, and answered softly with a puzzled look on her face:

"I don't know him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiao gasped and sat up abruptly.

Liang Yu was startled by Lin Xiao's reaction and quickly explained:

"That night I had a few drinks at the bar and asked a designated driver to take me back. When I got to the front door, I realized I didn't have my keys with me at all."

"I asked that designated driver to help me break down the door and get into the house. The next day, he asked his friend to contact a renovation company to replace the door."

"He even said he was the one who damaged the door, and he was quite embarrassed, so he didn't even want the driver's fee back..."

Lin Xiao clicked his tongue a few times, his face filled with daydreams:

"Could that designated driver be trying to seduce you because you're fair-skinned, beautiful, and dressed in designer clothes, hoping to skip ten years of hard work by spending a fortune on a rich woman? Is he just putting on a show of playing hard to get?"

Liang Yu asked, looking puzzled:

"Going all out? Playing hard to get?"

Lin Xiao pointed out the flaws in the landscape with a serious expression:

"That's very possible! There are plenty of men who want to climb the social ladder by relying on women these days, and even men with a little bit of good looks want to use their appearance to get ahead."

"How much can a designated driver fee be? You might as well not pay for it. Maybe that driver will pay for your home appliances and then use that as an opportunity to get closer to you, eventually taking advantage of your kindness and seducing you into a relationship!"

Liang Yu's eyes widened in shock at Lin Xiao's words.

She couldn't help but recall the designated driver from that night.

The designated driver was dressed in a sleek black outfit, and his ivory-white skin had a porcelain-like sheen under the dim light.

His eyes were clear and dark, which set off his handsome face, highlighting his sharp features and aloof, cold demeanor.

Could such a cold and aloof person be, as Lin Xiao said, a gigolo who spends a fortune acting and then plays hard to get?

What was that designated driver's name again?

His name seems to be Yan Qi.

Yes, his name also contains the character "启".

The thought of the name "Aqi" made Liang Yu's mind suddenly wander.

Seeing Liang Yu looking stunned, Lin Xiao nudged Liang Yu's arm and asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

Liang Yu was pulled back to his senses by Lin Xiao. He blinked and carefully replied in a low voice:

"I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Maybe I should just settle the driver's fee and cut ties with him."

After a pause, Liang Yu hesitated and asked Lin Xiao:

"How about I ask his friend first, to see if he has advanced any money to the renovation company? If he has, I will pay him back right now."

Lin Xiao nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, and said with a look of agreement:

"Yes, yes, ask now."

Liang Yu found the number the person in charge of the decoration company had given her and sent a message.

Hello, this is Liang Yu. The renovation company you found provided excellent service, but their price was too low. Did you advance me any money?

The other end replied quickly.

Good evening, Ms. Liang. I didn't advance any money for you. It was the renovation company owner who owed a favor to the person who provided your chauffeur, so he took it upon himself to only charge the cost price. You don't need to worry about it.

It seemed that the person on the other end of the phone had sensed Liang Yu's thoughts, and another message followed immediately.

Ms. Liang, please rest assured. Just pretend you never met that person. They won't bother you because of this. Wishing you peace, joy, and a happy and fulfilling life in the future.

Lin Xiao leaned closer, and after reading the message, looked at Liang Yu with an embarrassed expression:

"Am I being narrow-minded? Have I misunderstood an honest person?"

Liang Yu felt equally embarrassed and asked Lin Xiao with a raised brow:

"Should I still pay for the designated driver's fee from that night? I don't have that driver's number."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said with righteous indignation:

"Let's get that driver's number and pay him double next time we hire him. We can't take advantage of honest people and make them do hard work for free."

Liang Yu nodded and replied to the message.

Thank you, could you please give me Yan Qi's number?

It took quite a while before a phone number came through on the other end.

"Ms. Liang, this is that person's number."

Liang Yu replied with "Thank you," copied the number, opened WeChat, and searched for the number as a friend.

A business card popped up on the page, with the name "Qi".

When Liang Yu saw the portrait on the business card, he was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but click to zoom in on the portrait.

The portrait is a black and white hand-drawn image, with messy zigzag lines outlining a puppy curled up in a huge shadow. On the puppy's back, a twisted angel halo is drawn with extremely fine red zigzag lines.

The entire image contains no straight lines; it is composed entirely of a jumble of distorted, broken lines.

Liang Yu shrinks his profile picture, clicks "Add to Contacts," and types a greeting.

Hello, this is Liang Yu. I forgot to pay the valet parking fee that night. Could you tell me how much it was? I'll transfer it to you.

Send the friend request.

Liang Yu put down his phone and lay on the sofa with Lin Xiao to chat and watch a movie.

Before going to bed, Liang Yu checked his phone and saw that the friend request he had sent had not yet been accepted.

Without thinking much about it, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.

The next day, after seeing Lin Xiao off to work, Liang Yu checked his phone again and saw that his friend request had been accepted.

The time she accepted the friend request was exactly the time she turned off her phone and went to sleep the night before.

The chat box only contained a message from Liang Yu.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yu decided to take the initiative to send a message to Yan Qifa.

Good morning, thank you for contacting the renovation company for me. How much was the designated driver fee that night? I'll transfer it to you now.

Yan Qi replied instantly.

【No.】

Liang Yu stared at the phone screen in astonishment.

She thought Yan Qi would take a long time to return.

Liang Yu immediately replied with a message.

I'll contact you again next time I need a designated driver.

Yan Qi replied instantly again.

I only do long-term business, not one-off transactions. Think it through before contacting me.

Liang Yu stared at the words on the screen, stunned.

Do you only do long-term business, not one-off transactions?

Does that mean you only offer long-term driving services and not one-time rides?

She doesn't need to hire a long-term driver.

But it's not appropriate to refuse outright.

Liang Yu pondered for a long time before finally replying with only one word.

【Oh. 】

After the message was sent, Yan Qi did not reply.

Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also afraid that Yan Qi might approach her first, just as Lin Xiao had said, because of the cost of a designated driver or the renovation company.

She didn't want to get too involved with strangers.

She just wanted to spend the next year quietly, get a smooth divorce from Fang Ze, and end things once and for all.

After she divorced Fang Ze, she sold her shares in the Fang Group.

The initial capital of 60 million has tripled. Once she sells those shares, the cash she gets will be more than enough for her and her grandmother to live a life of comfort and ease.

Just as Liang Yu was preparing to visit her grandmother at the nursing home, Attorney Shi called:

"Ms. Liang, do you have time to meet? I have something important to discuss with you."

Liang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied:

"Okay, I can go to your office now, and we can talk in a bit."

Liang Yu immediately put on his trench coat, hat, and sunglasses and went out.

On the road, Liang Yu's 911 drove slowly at a speed not exceeding 40 km/h, and her anxiety grew stronger with time.

Could there be some problems with her divorce proceedings?

As soon as Liang Yu met Attorney Shi, Attorney Shi got straight to the point:

"Ms. Liang, I'm so sorry, I can't take your case."

Liang Yu was completely taken aback and blurted out in shock:

Why?

Attorney Shi looked apologetic:

"Ms. Liang, to be honest, Mr. Fang has already contacted me. As for what he said to me, I cannot disclose that. I can only say that I am truly sorry, but I cannot represent you in your divorce case."

"But don't worry, I haven't revealed a single word about your investment shares to Mr. Fang."

Attorney Shi sighed and continued:

"Ms. Liang, you can actually have a good talk with Mr. Fang. Maybe there's some misunderstanding between you. Or perhaps you don't necessarily have to divorce Mr. Fang; separation would be the same."

Clearly, Attorney Shi's weakness lies with Fang Ze.

Otherwise, how could a top-notch lawyer who is well-versed in the law be so easily swayed by others?

Liang Yu finally understood.

That night, Fang Ze's last words, "Then let's wait until you find a lawyer first," were not just a casual remark.

Fang Ze was already absolutely certain that night that she would have no chance of finding a lawyer.

Liang asked:

"Attorney Shi, did Fang Ze tell you to say that to me?"

Attorney Shi replied:

"Mr. Fang only said that you are his wife, and if you need anything, you can go to him; going to anyone else will be useless."

Liang Yu didn't ask any more questions. He simply said to Attorney Shi, "I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused you," and then got up and left the office.

Liang Yu returned to the car and sat in the driver's seat, reflecting on what Attorney Shi had said.

Fang Ze asked Attorney Shi to tell her to go see him directly.

What does this mean?

Should she voluntarily return to that villa, patiently wait for Fang Ze to come home, and, when faced with Fang Ze's cold and disgusted gaze, softly beg him to divorce her?

No, she didn't want that.

But she didn't want to waste any more time with Fang Ze.

She no longer wanted to be Fang Ze's wife in the legal sense.

Liang Yu's inner turmoil and resistance caused her to unconsciously clench her fingers, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

She sat in the driver's seat, taking deep breaths and trying to calm herself down.

Half an hour later, after much struggle, Liang Yu finally decided to go to the Fang Group to find Fang Ze.

The Fang Group's building is located in the heart of Haicheng's CBD business district.

Even though Liang Yu drove slowly at 40 km/h, he arrived at the underground parking garage of the Fang Group building in just over ten minutes.

Upon entering the building, Liang Yu was stopped by the receptionist.

Liang Yu said directly:

"I'm here to see Fang Ze."

The receptionist, hearing her call Fang Ze by his name, looked her up and down a few times. After confirming she didn't recognize him, she asked in a businesslike manner:

Do you have an appointment?

Liang Yu came on a whim, without any prior appointment.

It was her first time here, so she had no idea that she needed to make an appointment to see Fang Ze.

Just then, the receptionist suddenly bowed in one direction and sweetly called out:

"Hello, Assistant Shi, your coat looks really nice."

Shi Yue nodded arrogantly and was about to walk straight over when she caught a glimpse of the person standing at the front desk and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Even though Liang Yu was wearing a long trench coat, a hat, and glasses, Shi Yue still recognized her at a glance.

Shi Yue glanced at Liang Yu out of the corner of her eye, and questioned the receptionist in an annoyed tone:

"Who's that? What are they doing standing here? They're ruining the company's image! Get them out of here!"

The receptionist nodded obediently and said okay, then explained:

"She wants to see Mr. Fang, but she didn't make an appointment, so I'll let her go right now."

He then said to Liang Yu:

"Madam, you should leave now. You can't see Mr. Fang without an appointment."

Before Liang Yu could speak, he heard Shi Yue begin to berate the receptionist:

"From now on, no unauthorized personnel are allowed in. If I see any more of them here, you're fired!"

The receptionist nodded repeatedly in agreement, then looked at Liang Yu, her stern tone tinged with pleading:

"Ma'am, if you don't leave now, I'll lose my job. Please leave quickly, or I'll call security."
