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

Since that morning when Lu Peichuan rushed out to find Su Qingya, Rong Zheng hadn't seen him for three days.

She didn't care whether he was messing around with Su Qingya again; she was more curious about whether Su Qingya had convinced Lu Peichuan to get a divorce and whether he would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her to get the divorce certificate tomorrow.

The next day, Rong Zheng called Lu Peichuan at eight o'clock, "The cooling-off period is over. The Civil Affairs Bureau opens at eight-thirty. When are you going?"

"I'm on a business trip in Beijing."

Rong Zheng frowned. Knowing the cooling-off period was about to end, she still chose this time to go on a business trip. "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Deliberately what?"

"procrastination."

I'll be going back this afternoon.

"What time? The Civil Affairs Bureau closes at 5:30."

Two points.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at two o'clock."

There was a two-second silence on the other end, then the call was hung up.

Rong Zheng was somewhat unsure what Lu Peichuan meant.

If he doesn't want a divorce, he can simply use a business trip as an excuse not to come back.

But he rushed back.

But when she said she was waiting for him at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he didn't respond.

Does he want a divorce, or does he not want one?

Unable to understand, Rong Zheng gave up trying to figure it out. Regardless of his attitude, she was determined to get a divorce.

At 2 p.m. sharp, Rong Zheng appeared at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but Lu Peichuan did not appear after waiting for half an hour.

She lost her patience and took out her phone to call him when the dean called, "Xiao Rong, I just received a call from the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing. They said they've revoked your eligibility to study there."

Rong Zheng couldn't understand, "Why? I was supposed to go in two days, why are you suddenly disqualifying me?"

The dean's tone was also bewildered, "The reply they gave was a direct order from above. I tried to persuade them, but the hospital's attitude is very firm, and there is no room for negotiation."

Rong Zheng felt that the perfunctory reply was too suspicious.

"Xiao Rong, don't worry, you're still young and you'll have other opportunities in the future. Just the other day, President Lu came to see me and said that your child is too young and can't be separated from his mother, so your study at the First Affiliated Hospital should be postponed. This is all a lucky coincidence."

Rong Zheng gripped her phone tightly. "Lu Peichuan came to see you?"

"Hmm, isn't this the result of your discussion as a couple?"

What's there to discuss!

Lu Peichuan had just returned from a business trip to Beijing when her qualification for study was revoked. It was the First Affiliated Hospital that called her personally, so he was definitely involved in this matter. He might even be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Her long-awaited dream vanished in an instant.

Rong Zheng suppressed the surging anger in her heart and said, "I understand, thank you, Dean."

After hanging up the phone, Rong Zheng got into her car and sped off to the Lu Group.

Seeing Rong Zheng emerge from the elevator with a grim expression, Xue Bai immediately went to greet her, "Madam, what brings you here?"

"Where is Lu Peichuan?" Rong Zheng walked straight towards the president's office without stopping.

Xue Bai followed anxiously, "President Lu is not in his office."

"Where is it?"

Seeing Rong Zheng's hostile demeanor, Xue Bai dared not speak, "What business do you have with President Lu? You can tell me, and we'll talk when President Lu is finished..."

Rong Zheng abruptly stopped, her gaze turning cold as she looked at Xue Bai. "Should I tell you myself, or should I launch a full-scale search?"

Xue Bai looked troubled. "Madam, please calm down. What's wrong...?"

"Fine, I'll find it myself." Rong Zheng lifted her foot and continued walking forward, shouting loudly as she went, "Lu Peichuan, you come out here!"

This was the first time Xue Bai had seen Rong Zheng act so recklessly, and he was startled. He quickly grabbed her, "Madam, please don't shout. I'll take you there, okay?"

Rong Zheng said coldly, "Lead the way."

Xue Bai led Rong Zheng towards the conference room, saying as they walked, "Madam, President Lu just returned from Beijing. He has a lot of things to decide. All the company's top executives are in the conference room. Can we discuss everything after the meeting?"

Rong Zheng pursed her lips and remained silent, only quickening her pace.

Xue Bai added, "If you really have something urgent, I can go and call President Lu out."

Rong Zheng remained silent and simply walked quickly toward the conference room.

As they approached the conference room door, Rong Zheng showed no sign of stopping and seemed determined to force her way in. Xue Bai was almost in tears, wanting to stop her but not daring to, after all, she was the president's wife. "Madam, if you barge in, President Lu will not forgive me."

Rong Zheng stopped in her tracks.

Xue Bai thought Rong Zheng wasn't going in, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Madam, please wait in the president's office. I'll make you some coffee."

"What does it matter to me if he doesn't forgive you?" Rong Zheng remembered that when Lu Peichuan celebrated for Su Qingya's son last time, Xue Bai knew where Lu Peichuan was but didn't tell him. He and Lu Peichuan were birds of a feather.

Before Xue Bai could recover from Rong Zheng's words, Rong Zheng had already pushed open the office door.

Rong Zheng stood at the door, ignoring the countless eyes on her in the office, and stared directly at Lu Peichuan, who sat at the head of the table, coldly questioning, "Did you revoke my qualification to study at the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing?"

Lu Peichuan stood up and walked calmly toward Rong Zheng. "Yes, Tangtang is still young and can't live without you."

It's really him!

First her parents, then her friends, and now her job!

He really went to great lengths to avoid divorce. How come she never knew Lu Peichuan was so shameless?

Rong Zheng's pent-up anger finally erupted at this moment. "We're getting a divorce, what right do you have to interfere with my work?"

"divorce?"

"Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu are actually getting a divorce?"

Someone in the conference room exclaimed in shock, then quickly covered their mouth.

Lu Peichuan was surprised that Rong Zheng would bring up the divorce in public, and immediately tried to smooth things over for her, "Zhengzheng, I know you're angry, but you can't say 'divorce' out of spite."

Then, looking at the people in the conference room, he said, "Let's call it a day for now. That's all for today's meeting."

Although everyone was eager for gossip, they dared not linger any longer and got up to leave.

Soon everyone filed out.

Xue Bai closed the conference room door before leaving.

In the blink of an eye, only Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan remained in the conference room.

Seeing that no one else was around, Lu Peichuan's face instantly turned cold. "Didn't you promise not to let the news of the divorce leak out?"

Rong Zheng sneered, "I did promise, but my promise was conditional on your willingness to divorce me. But what have you done?"

She wanted to part amicably and didn't want the two of them to become bitter enemies in the end. After all, there was Tangtang between them, and no matter what, he was still Tangtang's father.

So she endured it.

Unexpectedly, her forbearance only led to him becoming even more ruthless.

Since this divorce can't be resolved peacefully, if you give him face and he doesn't want it, then you might as well tear things apart.

Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a sick cat.
