Chapter 2136: Chapter 2137: The First Wife Who Left with Nothing 56
Looking at the sumptuous dishes, Zhang Yu felt really embarrassed, "This is just too much, Brother Xie, doing this makes me really embarrassed."
"If you feel embarrassed, then come help me out." Although knowing Zhang Yu wouldn’t agree, he still wanted to give it a try.
Zhang Yu shook her head with a smile, "Thank you, but I won’t go."
"The hectic work in investment banks really doesn’t suit me."
"I’m very busy on weekends now, and there aren’t many years left before Xiao Xuan goes to school. Once the child goes to college, he will completely have his own life and won’t revolve around me; he will have his own life."
"I just want to spend more time with him while he’s still around." It’s not that she’s making excuses; such a sensible child is worth spending time with.
"What do you plan to do when Xiao Xuan goes to college?" Understandably, Xie Zhen could relate; he didn’t have much time with his parents after going to college.
"Once Xiao Xuan starts school, I’ll accompany my parents. I’ve bought an apartment next to my parents’ home and started decorating, so we’ll have a place to stay when we go back."
"It’s like fully entering a retirement mode." Saying this, Zhang Yu suddenly felt quite embarrassed, "I suddenly feel like I’m in a retirement mode already."
Xie Zhen rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "You just realized? You have no idea how much I envy you."
"You’ve earned quite a bit of money and live well."
"You could do it too," Zhang Yu said softly. "I’m different from you; you want to make a name for yourself and prove your worth."
"I don’t need to prove myself." Zhang Yu knew Xie Zhen wanted to carve out his own path; it’s not easy being a child of a prestigious family.
"If you had a life like mine now, you probably wouldn’t want it." Zhang Yu smiled.
Xie Zhen responded softly, "True, I can’t even stop myself."
As they were eating, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully; Xie Zhen looked up unhappily, wondering who was so rude to enter without knocking or permission.
To his surprise, it was Han Xue, and he frowned, "What’s the matter?"
Han Xue charged in with a surge of courage, intending to question Zhang Yu. Yes, she only dared to confront Zhang Yu; as for Xie Zhen, she truly lacked the courage.
Once she realized where she was and heard Xie Zhen’s voice, she backed down a bit, "I, I, I..."
"I what?" Xie Zhen said irritably, "Get out of here, unless you want me to invite you for dinner?"
Watching Xie Zhen’s expression, Han Xue’s heart raced and she wanted to leave, but she stopped as she saw Zhang Yu, "Zhang Yu, it’s all your fault."
Huh? Zhang Yu didn’t expect Han Xue to rush in looking for her. What’s going on? Considering she hadn’t had a confrontation with Han Xue since entering this courtyard, at most she simply watched the spectacle.
Wasn’t it Xie Zhen who scolded her for being brainless? Yet this one didn’t dare blame Xie Zhen and vented her anger on her?
"What did I do?" Zhang Yu wasn’t intimidated and snorted, ignoring the fact that she was facing a member of the Han family.
"What did you do? If it weren’t for you, Lin Yu wouldn’t have run." Han Xue said angrily, really wanting to rush up and educate Zhang Yu, but glancing at Xie Zhen beside her, she relented again.
What? Lin Yu actually ran away? Zhang Yu was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted, "If he ran, then he ran. Why are you looking for me?"
"You already turned him into a dog; in front of your shady friends, you didn’t give him any respect. What else do you want from him?"
"Clearly, you’re the one without brains, yet you’re relying on him to secure your position in the Han family and still show him no respect." Zhang Yu truly felt Mr. Han was right; Han Xue was indeed brainless.
One lacking brains, the other lacking a solid foundation; together, they could achieve more than the sum of their parts, but this one just had to make trouble. Zhang Yu really admired her; simply brainless.
"So, your man ran away, and instead of reflecting on your behavior, you blame me and pick on me. How’s that, do you think I’m easy to bully?"
"Do you think that by quickly divorcing Lin Yu, I’m intimidated and don’t want to provoke you, Miss Han family?"
"Isn’t that right?" Han Xue expected to be in control, but instead, she found herself being overshadowed by Zhang Yu, which made her very unhappy and displeased.
"Pfft, with a scumbag like him..." She intended to say ’rotten cucumber’ but decided against it after glancing around—since Lin Zixuan was present, she decided to mind her words a bit, "He’s a scumbag, I haven’t wanted him for a long time."
"He just outright refuses to divorce." Indeed, the original owner had suggested divorce before, but Lin Yu outright rejected it, because he hadn’t fully drained the original owner dry and needed her backing.
"Thanks to your appearance, I finally get to break free."
"You two... one has brains but a bad temper, the other lacks capacity... your only common trait is ambition, you are a perfect match."
"Both constantly making trouble outside, perfectly stifled." Zhang Yu spoke while looking at Han Xue’s belly, "Really, I want to know whether the child you’re carrying has a Black or White father."
Judging by the situation, Han Xue was involved with two foreigners simultaneously at that time, making it difficult to ascertain the child’s true father.
The only certainty was that the child’s father definitely wasn’t Lin Yu. "Han Xue, you really should have the baby."
"You must have it." Back then, Han Xue didn’t have the child, so they didn’t know who the father was, and of course, Han Xue’s family blamed the original owner for the miscarriage.
This time, without her scapegoated presence, she’s really curious about who the child’s father is.
Whether Black or White, as long as it’s not Asian, the child’s birth would be a huge joke, definitively making Lin Yu famous once again.
Though he’s already quite famous now, many know him as a super husband, but it’s not as intense as having a green hat.
Xie Zhen’s mouth formed an O, "My god." He was now certain, Lin Yu had truly offended Zhang Yu; otherwise, how could she retaliate so fiercely?
If only Lin Yu and Han Xue’s affair were revealed later, then the child wouldn’t be pinned on Lin Yu, and he wouldn’t claim it, no matter Han Xue’s child’s condition—none of it would have anything to do with Lin Yu.
Yet he recognized it, any potential mishap means a guaranteed green hat situation—hahaha, just thinking of that scenario made Xie Zhen incredibly happy.
