After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Rong Zheng came down from the president's office and was about to drive away when her phone rang.

The caller ID showed the dean.

She answered the phone while standing beside the car, "Director, is there something you need?"

"How is your recovery going?"

"That's fine, thank you for your concern, Dean."

The Lu family kept the news of her severe bleeding a secret, and the outside world only assumed that she had given birth prematurely, which is considered normal if the due date is ten days early.

"The spots for studying at the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing will be decided in the next few days. I know you probably don't want to go, but I'll still call and ask anyway."

Rong Zheng had almost forgotten about this.

She had previously declined the opportunity because she didn't want to be separated from Lu Peichuan and her child. The study period was two years, and living apart from her husband and child for two years would affect family harmony.

But now, she wants to divorce Lu Peichuan. She would never give up her promising future for him again. Moreover, she will raise her daughter in the future. If she wants to give her daughter a comfortable life, she must first become strong herself.

"Dean, I'll go."

"Fine, then I... what, you're going?"

"Yes, I shouldn't miss such a good opportunity."

"And your home?"

"Don't worry, Dean, I'll take care of it."

"That's good. Then please come to the hospital in the next couple of days when you have some free time to fill out the application form."

"Okay." Rong Zheng, remembering that she still didn't have evidence of Lu Peichuan's infidelity and neglect of the children, asked, "Dean, when is the training trip to Beijing scheduled?"

"The process will probably take two or three months, which will coincide with the end of your maternity leave. I'll let you know the exact date once we get the notification."

Two or three months should be enough. "Okay, thank you, Dean."

Just as Rong Zheng hung up the phone, a surprised voice came from behind her, "Are you going to Beijing to study?"

She turned around and saw Su Qingya had appeared behind her at some point. She frowned and said, "Were you eavesdropping on my phone call?"

"I overheard it by chance when I came to get the car."

Rong Zheng thought back for a moment, making sure she hadn't mentioned divorce, and felt relieved. Too lazy to waste words with her, she opened the car door and prepared to get in.

Su Qingya held the car door shut. "Now that the Lu Group and the Su Conglomerate have signed a long-term cooperation agreement, and my brother and Pei Chuan are brothers who grew up together, it is destined that Pei Chuan and I cannot be completely unrelated, whether in terms of interests or friendship."

Rong Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Are you telling me that you and he are destined for each other?"

Although Su Qingya truly believed this, she said, "Don't misunderstand, I just want you to see the truth and stop arguing with Pei Chuan because of me."

They openly advocate for reconciliation, but secretly they're all showing off. This veiled and malicious behavior is truly disgusting.

"I remember telling you this last time."

Su Qingya asked in confusion, "What?"

"Speak less in front of me."

"You..." Su Qingya's face paled with anger, but then, as if remembering something, she smiled. "If a man truly loves you, no matter what methods others use, he won't change his heart. If he does, it only means he didn't love you at all. Your hostility towards me is so deep; is it because you don't trust me, or you don't trust Pei Chuan?"

Rong Zheng found Su Qingya's incessant chatter extremely annoying.

Who gave this third party who interfered in someone else's marriage the audacity to repeatedly taunt her?

Hand rises, palm falls.

Snapped!

A crisp slapping sound rang out from the underground parking garage.

Su Qingya covered her slapped face, looking at Rong Zheng in disbelief, "You dare hit me?"

Let's fight then.

Does a wife have to pick a specific day to beat up a mistress?

She used to have some reservations, worried that if things got too bad between her and Su Qingya, it would affect the cooperation between the Lu and Su families. Now that she's getting a divorce, what does it matter to her whether their cooperation goes well or not?

Rong Zheng coldly warned, "Stop spouting nonsense in front of me, or I'll hit you every time you say it."

"You dare!"

Snapped!

Rong Zheng slapped Su Qingya again, "You want me to dare?"

Su Qingya bit her lip and glared fiercely at Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng's lips curled into a sneer. "You look better this way. Aren't you tired of pretending to be innocent and clever all the time?"

Su Qingya's face flushed red, her fingertips trembling with anger. She clenched her palms tightly, using the pain of her nails digging into her flesh to suppress her rage, and almost squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Rong Zheng was too lazy to waste any more words with Su Qingya, so she got into the car, started the engine, and drove away.

As Su Qingya watched the car disappear into the underground parking garage exit, the composure she had maintained instantly crumbled, her eyes flashing with intense hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "Rong Zheng, I swear I will never forgive you! One day, I will make you kneel before me, begging for mercy!"

Golden Sands Bay, restaurant.

Lu Peichuan ate his meal, glancing at Rong Zheng every now and then.

Rong Zheng finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Lu Peichuan. "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

Lu Peichuan also put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and handed it to Rong Zheng, "Yichen called me this afternoon and said that her sister was beaten up."

Why would Su Yichen call? It must be Su Qingya complaining to him.

However, since he had come up with such an excuse, Rong Zheng naturally wouldn't expose him. She took the tissue, wiped her mouth, and said directly, "I did it."

Lu Peichuan frowned slightly. "Why did you hit her?"

"My inability to interfere with your work-related interactions with her does not mean I can tolerate her repeatedly flaunting in front of me that she and you have an inseparable relationship based on interests and friendship."

Are you jealous?

"Can't I be jealous?"

Lu Peichuan's earlier unease vanished instantly. She must still mind his contact with Su Qingya, but she was just being more sensible and considerate so as not to put him in a difficult position.

He smiled slightly and gently took Rong Zheng's hand. "Yes, I know you've been wronged. I've already spoken to Yi Chen and asked him to hand over the cooperation project between the two companies to the previous person. She won't come to the company to see me about work anymore."

Rong Zheng was somewhat surprised.

She had argued with him before, telling him not to have any work-related dealings with Su Qingya. He disagreed and got angry, saying that if you're upright, you have nothing to fear. How come he suddenly agreed?

She absolutely refused to believe that Lu Peichuan wanted to sever all ties with Su Qingya.

Otherwise, Su Qingya wouldn't have been so arrogant in the garage.

Is it because she almost caught us today, and we're worried that if we go too far, she'll find out?

That should be the case, after all, Lu Peichuan has always been cautious in his actions.

This further demonstrates that he wanted to maintain a long-term illicit relationship with Su Qingya.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Rong Zheng snapped out of her daze, gave a perfunctory smile, and under the guise of smoothing her hair, subtly withdrew her hand from his palm. "It's enough that you know I've been wronged."

Lu Peichuan's eyes were gentle. "I'll make some arrangements these next few days. I'll take you out for a couple of days this weekend to relax."

It's said online that men who cheat on their wives, feeling guilty, will try to make amends to them in other ways when they get home.

So this is his compensation?

But she scoffed.

"No need, I'm not working, it's quite relaxing to stay home every day."

Lu Peichuan gazed tenderly at Rong Zheng, "Haven't you always wanted to go out with me? We haven't had any alone time together in a long time. I want to spend a couple of days with you, just the two of us."

If you refuse again, he will become suspicious.

She had indeed mentioned going out with him several times before.

"it is good."

Lu Peichuan nodded.

Seeing that he was still staring at her intently, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Rong Zheng asked, "Is there something else?"

Lu Peichuan pursed his thin lips. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
