Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

The ward fell silent for a moment.

Lu Zichuan tilted his head slightly, a barely perceptible dark light flashing in his pale eyes.

He didn't speak immediately, but slowly sat up straight, placed his hands folded on his knees, and a very faint smile appeared on his lips.

In that arc, there was no surprise, no disappointment, only a knowing understanding that had been there all along.

"Double compensation?" He repeated softly, a hint of knowing amusement in his voice. "Director Xu, what are you going to offer as compensation?"

He paused, his gaze falling on the asthenospermia report in Xu Zhesheng's hand, his voice as soft as a breeze:

"You were able to transfer assets even during our marriage; how can she trust you in the future?"

"You don't even know if you're sick or not, and you easily believe a woman's words, then forget about her and suffer all kinds of grievances. Do you think she'll accept your compensation?"

Xu Zhesheng's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Lu Zichuan stood up, straightened his cuffs, and looked down at him, his tone as calm as if stating a simple fact:

"Sign it, and you can at least salvage your pitiful self-esteem and future. Don't sign it..."

He leaned slightly forward, his breath low, yet every word struck Xu Zhesheng's eardrums:

"What you've lost isn't just money. You've lost your only chance to turn things around in your life."

He straightened up, winked at Assistant Wang, and turned to walk towards the door.

As he reached the door, he paused slightly, without turning back, leaving only his last words:

"I'll give you three days. In three days, I want to see the signed contract."

The door was gently closed.

Only Xu Zhesheng's family of three remained in the ward, along with Su Manman, who huddled in a corner with a calculating glint in her eyes.

Xu Zhesheng stood there, the contract in his hand like a hot potato, he wanted to throw it away but couldn't bear to, he wanted to keep it but it was an eyesore.

He opened his mouth, but his throat felt as dry as if he had swallowed a handful of sand.

He finally realized that he had already lost long ago.

They lost completely, and even the chips to turn the tide were in Lu Zichuan's hands.

......

Friday night was the day Shen Zhiyi agreed to accompany Lu Zichuan to the banquet as his date.

She didn't have a suitable gift to wear to the banquet, nor did she know how to dress. After work, she wanted to buy a slightly nicer dress so as not to embarrass Lu Zichuan. However, as soon as she got to the door, Lu Zichuan's Rolls-Royce was already waiting there.

As she got out, the back window slowly rolled down, revealing Lu Zichuan's exceptionally noble and aloof face. He tilted his head towards her.

"Get in the car."

Shen Zhiyi hesitated and said, "I still need to buy a dress..."

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Lu Zichuan's eyes, and he insisted, "Get in the car."

Shen Zhiyi was still a little hesitant when the window in front of her rolled down. Assistant Wang, with a smile on his face, explained, "Ms. Shen, this may be your first time attending a banquet, and you may not know how to match your dress and makeup. Don't worry, Mr. Lu has already made all the preparations. Just come with us."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi got into the car.

As soon as she entered the car, the scent of sandalwood emanating from Lu Zichuan immediately filled Shen Zhiyi's nostrils, enveloping her from head to toe with undisguised aggression and possessiveness.

Shen Zhiyi thought of the rumors about Lu Zichuan and Pei Jin, which had become clearer and clearer in recent days. It was said that Lu Zichuan and Pei Jin had been dating for a long time, but now that they were both getting older, Pei Jin's family was pressuring her to give him a proper status, but Lu Zichuan was unwilling, and the two argued in the office every day.

She thought that the two were still friends, and was hesitating whether to say something to persuade them when she suddenly saw the rumored male protagonist sitting in the passenger seat, holding a sweet cake in his hand and eating it in small bites.

Seeing Shen Zhiyi get into the car, he turned around with a smile and greeted her, holding a cake in one hand and a spoon in the other: "Hello, Ms. Shen, it's nice to see you again."

He was indeed very handsome, with a delicate face more perfect than a woman's. His single eyelids were slightly upturned, giving him a peach blossom eye look. What was even more amazing was his skin. Shen Zhiyi thought her skin was already quite good, but his was like a peeled egg. Not to mention pimples, you couldn't even see a mole or a pore on his face. It was as perfect as jade.

Whether compared to men or women, their looks are exceptionally outstanding.

Shen Zhiyi suddenly understood why Lu Zichuan had taken a liking to him.

She silently swallowed back the words she wanted to say, smiled at Pei Jin, and then lowered her head to look at her phone.

Yu Meng'an sent her a message.

This is the only former colleague she still keeps in touch with after leaving Xu Zhesheng's company.

"Sister Zhi, are you going to Director Zhang Tong and his wife's 10th anniversary celebration tonight? I heard he invited all the big names in the film and television industry, and even Director Xu will be attending."

"This is the first time he has publicly attended such an event since Su Manman fainted and went to the hospital last time."

"Speaking of which, there were some unfounded rumors circulating in the team last time, saying that you interfered in Su Manman and Director Xu's relationship. Those words were awful, completely disregarding the friendship we had built up together. They almost made me furious."

"But don't worry, I've retaliated against all those who were criticizing you. Everyone knows you're already married, and you're not the kind of person who messes around in the entertainment industry. Why would you get involved in something as obvious as the ambiguous relationship between Director Xu and Su Manman?"

"But you know this, it's no use for me to go and complain alone. There are still a lot of rumors circulating. If you're coming today, you might want to be prepared..."

Shen Zhiyi had also heard about this matter, but she knew that the more she responded to these rumors, the more unclear things would become, so she never came out to clarify.

In addition, although she was not involved in the matter between the two, she was not entirely independent in the relationship, and she had no right to respond.

However, she was still grateful that even though she had already left the company, Yu Meng'an still remembered her and even came to give her some mental preparation.

Her slender fingers flew across the screen: "Yes, I'll go. Thank you. See you at the banquet later."

After saying that, she closed the chat window with Yu Meng'an, and then, as if possessed, clicked on Su Manman's Moments.

She's been posting on WeChat Moments much less frequently these days, but just yesterday she posted a picture of a burgundy gemstone necklace with the caption, "Thank you for being there, making me the happiest person in the world."

She figured Xu Zhesheng was probably still with her, so she indifferently clicked to close the window. She had never intended to use the revelation of Xu Zhesheng's oligospermia to separate him from Su Manman. For her, as long as she could officially divorce him and leave Xu Zhesheng and the Xu family, that was enough.

At this moment, the car stopped in front of a manor. After Assistant Wang turned off the engine, he was about to get out to open the door for Shen Zhiyi and Lu Zichuan when he saw Lu Zichuan walk over quickly, open the door for Shen Zhiyi, and look at her tenderly: "We've arrived."
