Chapter 525: Chapter 524: Ashen-faced
And at this time, Liu Zheng’s face was ashen!
Originally, he had indeed used a photo of him being intimate with that female celebrity to make the police suspect his relationship with her. Then, he manipulated the media to blow the matter up, causing a huge stir and subjecting the celebrity to relentless public scrutiny!
But he never would have imagined that his every move was already being watched by others!
Liu Zheng’s despicable behavior made him feel shame and indignation that he could hardly bear.
At this moment, Liu Zheng suddenly felt some regret. He regretted why he hadn’t dealt with that gang of hoodlums directly back then. If he had dealt with those guys earlier, maybe he wouldn’t have to flee for his life like a stray dog now!
With this thought, his hatred intensified, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes!
"Since you want to challenge my bottom line, I might as well accompany you in a proper game!" Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, "I hope you don’t lose too miserably!"
Having said that, he turned around and left.
"Who are you?"
Just as Liu Zheng had stepped outside the door, a cold voice came from behind him.
"And who are you?" Liu Zheng stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look toward the source of the voice, and saw a woman wearing black clothes and a veil over her face standing not far behind him.
This woman had a graceful figure, but the chill she radiated was like a block of thousand-year ice, making people shiver involuntarily!
The woman, upon seeing Liu Zheng’s gaze turn her way, slightly curved her lips in what seemed to be a mocking smile, "My name is Lin Xiaoyue. I don’t care who you are or what your issues with that female celebrity are, but you’d better stay away from my husband. Otherwise, you should know, I have many ways to make your life worse than death!"
Liu Zheng’s pupils shrank.
"What did you say? Your name is Lin Xiaoyue?"
"That’s right," Lin Xiaoyue replied calmly.
Upon hearing her admit it herself, Liu Zheng’s face abruptly changed, and finally, he took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, "You said you and your husband have a child. Weren’t you missing? Why are you here? And... he is your husband?"
"My husband is that bastard you just mentioned!" Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Zheng coldly, her eyes full of disgust, "Liu Zheng, you’re not worthy of mentioning my husband! He’s the man every woman in this city dreams of, while you’re only fit to look up to him!"
"By what right do you look down on me!?" Liu Zheng said angrily.
"By the right that I am Lin Xiaoyue!" Lin Xiaoyue declared firmly, "Moreover, my husband is an outstanding soldier!"
Upon hearing these words, Liu Zheng’s pupils shrank abruptly, and his eyes revealed a trace of unwillingness and resentment.
"Hmph, so what? Is that it? You think you have the right to stand before me?" Liu Zheng let out a sneer, "Even if he’s that impressive, what right does he have to be your husband? You don’t even take a good look in the mirror. With your looks, you dream of marrying into a wealthy family? Pah!"
A murderous intent flashed in Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes, but then it gradually subsided. She said softly, "You wouldn’t understand, because you can never comprehend him! And I am the only one in this world who can!"
Liu Zheng’s pupils suddenly narrowed, as he stared intently at Lin Xiaoyue, "Is he really that good?"
"Of course, he is!" Lin Xiaoyue nodded, "In his heart, I’m as important as his wife!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng’s pupils contracted sharply, his face revealing an expression of disbelief.
He never expected that this woman’s marital relationship with Liu Zheng was so solid.
No wonder Liu Zheng had been so arrogant and overbearing before. It turned out he was fearless!
With this thought, Liu Zheng became even more enraged.
"No! Absolutely not! I must find evidence!"
With that thought, Liu Zheng suddenly calmed down.
Now he not only needed to find evidence of his being framed but also had to make Liu Zheng reap what he sowed!
...
"Liu Zheng, what are you doing?"
"Boss, I’m organizing documents!"
"Boss?" Liu Zheng was taken aback upon hearing this and then lifted his head to look toward the office door, "Who is it? Don’t you even have the courtesy to knock?"
Hearing this, Liu Zheng’s assistant showed an embarrassed expression.
But Liu Zheng just shook his head, "I don’t care anymore, I don’t want to see anyone else today. Tell him to get lost!"
"Yes!" The assistant responded and hurried out of the office.
"Sigh... I haven’t eaten yet. To let me starve like this, how can this be right!" Liu Zheng grumbled to himself, "Well, better fill up my stomach first!"
With that thought, he picked up the lunchbox on the desk, opened it, and began to eat voraciously.
...
Meanwhile, inside Liu Zheng’s villa.
"What did you say? Liu Zheng has escaped?!"
Upon hearing this news, a frost immediately covered Lin Xiaoyue’s face.
"Yes, I saw him escape with my own eyes! I’ve already arranged for people to pursue him!"
"Damn it!" Lin Xiaoyue gritted her teeth in anger.
...
"What’s your name?" Liu Zheng asked while sitting on the sofa, eating his meal.
"You can call me Xiaoyue!" said the young girl sitting next to Liu Zheng, smiling.
"Hmm, you’re quite pretty; it doesn’t really matter what I call you, after all, you all have the ’Xiao’ surname."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment!"
"By the way, what’s your name?"
"My last name is Wu. I’m Wu Xiaoxue!"
"Wu Xiaoxue? What a strange name!" Liu Zheng shook his head and continued, "Where does your family live? What are your parents’ names?"
"I’m Wu Xiaoxue! My father is Wu Guoqiang, and my mother is Chen Suzhen. Our home is in a house in the southern suburbs! You can contact me directly, or you can find my parents as well!"
"I see," Liu Zheng nodded, then took out his phone and dialed Wu Guoqiang’s number.
Wu Guoqiang, upon hearing Liu Zheng was his daughter’s friend, immediately said with a laugh, "Oh, you’re Xiaoxue’s friend! Hello, hello, I’m Wu Guoqiang, Chairman of the Wu Corporation. Is Xiaoxue getting along well with you? Has she caused you any trouble? If she has, please let me know; I’ll come over to apologize right away."
"No worries, we’re getting along quite harmoniously!" Liu Zheng said.
"That’s great to hear!" Wu Guoqiang said excitedly, "Xiaoxue has a bit of a temper. If she’s bothered you at all, I hope you won’t mind!"
"Not at all, she’s very nice, very kind. Not like your family’s young miss, always throwing her weight around!" Liu Zheng laughed and then said, "By the way, Uncle, I’ve got something to discuss with you. Are you available?"
"Of course, of course!" Wu Guoqiang hurriedly replied.
"Then let’s set a time. How about we have dinner tonight at Dragon Phoenix Building?"
"Sure, sure, I’ll be there on time!"
"Alright, that’s settled then!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng tossed his phone aside and continued to munch on his bread.
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Lin Xiaoxue walked in from outside.
"Liu Zheng, I’m back!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoxue return, Liu Zheng greeted her with a smile, "Hurry over for lunch!"
Lin Xiaoxue shook her head, "No need!"
After speaking, she walked over to the sofa next to Liu Zheng and sat down cross-legged, "Liu Zheng, there’s something I want to discuss with you!"
Liu Zheng nodded, "Go ahead, there’s no need for us to be so formal with each other!"
"Here’s the thing, I want to hand over my company to you!" Lin Xiaoxue said, her gaze burning into Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was taken aback, "What? Hand your company over to me? Are you sure you don’t have a fever?"
"Hehe, I’m not feverish!" Lin Xiaoxue said with a light laugh.
"Why? How old are you anyway?" Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.
"I can’t stay home forever. I need to work as well, or what will happen to my child in the future!"
"Holy crap! How old are you that you’re thinking about having children now!" Liu Zheng exclaimed, surprised.
"Of course it’s true!" Lin Xiaoxue nodded, "Even though there’s a bit of an age difference between us, I think we’re quite suitable. If we got married, we’d have lots of children, and our home would definitely be lively!"
"But I’m only twenty-two! You’re only seventeen or eighteen, isn’t that too early?"
"Is that considered early? I was already pregnant five or six times when I was twenty-two! Do you remember? When you first came to Jianghai City, I was pregnant for ten months and then gave birth to you!"
"This..."
"So you see, we’re quite suitable for each other!" Lin Xiaoxue said.
Hearing this, Liu Zheng fell silent.
