Shen Zhiyi hasn't seen Xu Zhesheng for three days since she went to process the divorce last Friday.

This is the first time I haven't seen him for such a long time since I met him, except when I'm on a business trip.

For the first time, the two did not interact for three whole days.

Thinking back to when she loved him deeply, even when he went on business trips and didn't come back, Shen Zhiyi would still report every little detail of her life to him, as if that would allow the two of them to have some connection.

But this time, after being away for three days, she didn't think of him at all.

Looking at Xu Zhesheng standing in front of her, Shen Zhiyi felt as if she had been in another world.

He stood before me in a loose white shirt and black suit pants, and for a moment, I felt a striking resemblance to the man I first met in the cafeteria ten years ago, dressed in a white T-shirt and black sweatpants.

But he is no longer the same person he was back then.

Even though his clothes were simple, they were designer clothes that cost thousands of yuan each from the mall. His demeanor was no longer that of a naive and immature person from ten years ago, but rather that of a mature adult who had been tempered by time and was now capable of standing on his own.

However, he has clearly not been having a good time these past few days.

Even though he had carefully made up his face, the bluish-gray under his eyes and his bloodless skin still told people that his life was not good.

She must be exhausted from taking care of the child at the hospital these past few days.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at him indifferently, then looked away as if she hadn't seen anything.

She walked straight toward the elevator, but unexpectedly, Xu Zhesheng followed her from behind.

"Shen Zhiyi? What are you doing here?"

As soon as he got close, Shen Zhiyi could smell the milky smell on him mixed with the sweet perfume on Su Manman, which wasn't very pleasant.

Shen Zhiyi took a step back, creating some distance between them, and calmly replied, "Where I am has nothing to do with Director Xu, right?"

She was still wearing her work badge from Jangsing Entertainment, which Xu Zhesheng spotted immediately.

He was instantly struck dumb, staggering back a step, staring at Shen Zhiyi in disbelief: "You've come to work at Jiangxing?"

"Why did you end up working at the General's Star Army?!"

His brows furrowed into a tight knot, and his voice boomed with anger: "You're working for Lu Zichuan?!"

"Don't you know he's my mortal enemy?! How dare you follow him like that!"

It was break time, and there were many people in the corridor. Hearing the argument, many turned around to see what was going on.

Shen Zhiyi stood ramrod straight: "Director Xu, we have officially signed the divorce agreement. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. You have no right to tell me where I work or who I work for."

Her tone was indifferent, and her eyes were devoid of any warmth when they fell on Xu Zhesheng, completely different from how she used to be.

In particular, her constant use of "Director Hsu" almost pierced Hsu Che-sheng's heart.

He stared at her intently, as if trying to see a hole through her.

Suddenly, it seemed like she understood something: "You arranged the VIP ward at the hospital with Lu Zichuan's help?"

"So you weren't messing around with that college student, you were messing around with Lu Zichuan?!"

He took a step back, as if he had finally cleared up his thoughts: "No wonder, no wonder you wanted a divorce so readily, no wonder you threw away all our years of friendship so easily. It turns out, you've climbed the social ladder!"

"I didn't believe my mom when she told me before, but it turns out it's true! Lu Zichuan is your lover!"

"Xu Zhesheng, stop acting crazy!"

Shen Zhiyi noticed that he kept talking about climbing the social ladder and having a mistress, and his words were getting increasingly offensive, so she couldn't help but speak up to stop him.

"I'm divorcing you because you cheated on me, it has nothing to do with Mr. Lu!"

Xu Zhesheng tilted his head and stared at her as if he hadn't heard her at all, a strange smile playing on his lips: "When did you and Lu Zichuan get together?"

"I knew I'd never run into him in ages before, but lately I'm seeing him every day. You two have been having an affair for a while now, haven't you?!"

"Shen Zhiyi, how did you manage to get with him?"

"I heard he hasn't had a woman in his life for so many years, so why did he fall for you?"

"All these years in bed you've always been like a dead person, what, does he like that kind of thing?"

"Or did you learn some underhanded techniques to please him?"

With each word he spoke, he moved closer to Shen Zhiyi, until he cornered her against the wall, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

"You should have said you were this open-minded! Come on, let me try. Didn't you want fifty percent of the fortune? If you serve me well, I'll give you not just fifty percent, I'll give you one hundred percent!"

"Let's go home now! Let me see how you serve Lu Zichuan!"

His eyes were red with anger, and he started spewing all sorts of foul and nonsensical words.

With a "snap".

Shen Zhiyi raised her hand and slapped him, her eyes red as she looked at him as if he were a stranger.

She thought she had seen through Xu Zhesheng during this time; he was selfish and self-serving, unable to recognize his own shortcomings, and blamed others for all the bad things he had done. But unexpectedly, he has given her a new perspective on him now.

"Xu Zhesheng, you bastard!"

Shen Zhiyi bit her lip and glared at him fiercely, her heart pounding with anger, but she had no more words to say to him.

She stopped looking at him and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Xu Zhesheng touched the spot where he had been hit, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

He couldn't believe that Shen Zhiyi, who had always been obedient to him, not only wanted to divorce him but also dared to hit him.

He caught up with her in a few strides and grabbed her wrist: "Shen Zhiyi, you can't leave!"

"Let me go!"

Shen Zhiyi struggled violently, desperately backing away with one hand and trying to pry his fingers open with the other, but she still couldn't budge him an inch.

With a "ding," the elevator arrived at their floor and stopped.

The elevator on the far left, Lu Zichuan's private elevator, slowly opened its doors.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, a tall and slender figure stood behind the door.

Lu Zichuan wore a well-tailored dark gray bespoke suit, without a tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt collar were undone, revealing his collarbone and exuding a touch of lazy nobility.

He had clearly just finished a meeting, and a chilling aura still lingered around him.

His gaze swept indifferently over the farce in the corridor, and when it landed on Xu Zhesheng's face, which was distorted by anger and jealousy, he didn't even flinch, as if he had only seen a noisy ant.

Only when his gaze fell on Shen Zhiyi's slender body did his cold and hard features soften almost imperceptibly.

"President Lu..."

Shen Zhiyi immediately felt extremely embarrassed. Xu Zhesheng's voice was not quiet just now, but every word he said contained Lu Zichuan's name, and so many colleagues around could hear it.

Even those who are so aloof and noble seem to have a touch of dust about them when their name is associated with her.

Shen Zhiyi clutched the hem of her clothes; it seemed she had gotten him into trouble again...
