Du Xinzhu insisted on them staying out of this matter, hence Li Mu and the others eventually promised that they would no longer be involved in her divorce lawsuit.
Everyone knew that Du Xinzhu meant well. She didn’t want them to be involved in this fiasco or get themselves into trouble.
Sometimes it was hard to be a kind person, and good deeds could be more easily said than done. If you were not careful, you might just get yourself into trouble.
With the evidence Du Xinzhu had, Fang Qiang would not dare to do anything to her. Hence there would be a great chance that he would take his frustration out on the people around him. Being vengeful enough, if he knew that Li Mu and the others were supporting his ex-wife in this issue, he would never let them get away with it.
It was not that Li Mu was afraid of him, but as the saying went, an open enemy was better than a false friend. He could care less about himself, but what about
Lin Wan has once again taken over the responsibility of leading the choir. But unlike before, this time there would be no distractions caused by irrelevant matters and people.She was hired as a teacher by invitation. Being both the choir’s leader and tutor, she was given absolute authority. She never had to worry about getting herself into a mess like before anymore.Lin Wan was happy with this arrangement. With only ten days left until the finals, she decided to use this time well to rehearse a few times with the students, so they would be in their best condition to compete with their opponents. Who’d knew one trouble would follow the other? The external interference was now gone, but now there was a problem within the choir itself. To make things worse, the problem was at the core of the choir, which stressed Lin Wan out.The person who had issues was Lu Jiaxue. She was fine in the first two rehearsals, but at the third
Lu Fangliang did not know Zhou Zijian as they had never crossed paths before. But the two men who were once strangers became good friends because of Lin Wan.The first meeting between the two was a difficult one. Being the chairman of Lu Group, although Lu Fangliang was not a prominent figure, he wasn’t someone who could be easily met by just anyone.Zhou Zijian was aware of their difference in status, and he would probably be given the cold shoulder if he paid Lu Fangliang a visit. The only way to meet Lu Fangliang was to use Lin Wan’s name.After some prepping, Zhou Zijian made a call to the Lu House.When Madam Jiang picked up the phone, Zhou Zijian said politely, “Greetings, I would like to speak to Mr. Lu.”“May I know who’s speaking?”“My name is Zhou Zijian, and I'm the planning supervisor of Dream Wedding Company. I would like to talk to Mr. Lu about Miss Lin Wan!”“Oh, alright.
Lin Wan mentioned again that she needed to leave when it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.This time, Lu Fangliang did not ask her to stay, but instead helped her to settle Lu Jiaxue's recrimination, causing Lin Wan to leave him a good impression.After leaving, Lin Wan rushed home immediately. Upon reaching home, she found out that the house was dark, and her husband was not home. She felt a little strange and called Li Mu immediately.Li Mu told her that Du Xinzhu had come to visit in the evening and wanted to treat them to dinner. They headed to the restaurant first after waiting for her for some time.Lin Wan hurried to the restaurant after asking for its location. She was a little furious when she saw what was going on there.The first thing she saw was her husband sitting in the middle, with Du Xinzhu on his left and He Xiaoyu on his right. The cups and plates on the table were in disarray. It was c
Zhou Zijian put it very bluntly, causing He Xiaoyu to blush profusely for being exposed. She subconsciously covered her embarrassment with a light cough, “It's alright. Tell me your suggestion!”Zhou Zijian said sincerely, “Miss, I suggest you not to wait for all the evidence to be gathered before you hand it over to Li Mu. Usually, a slow cut is far more painful and would cause more hopelessness than a quick stab. And at the very last moment, the impact will be strong, causing an irreversible outcome. I’m sure you understand what I mean.”After a moment of contemplation, He Xiaoyu nodded slowly.Zhou Zijian continued, “Since you agree with what I said, what we’ll do next requires your help and cooperation. Li Mu will probably confront Lin Wan after he gets the evidence. No matter what the result of the confrontation is, Lin Wan will definitely stay away from Lu Fangliang and his daughter, and our follow-up plan would not be able to proc
It was almost nine o'clock when Lin Wan arrived home. Her husband was yet to come home, so she called him out of concernHer husband's tired voice could be heard, “Lin Wan, what’s the matter?”Li Mu rarely calls his wife by her name Lin Wan. He only addresses her like this on formal occasions. Lin Wan thought he was with his colleagues and was not comfortable calling her “honey”. “Honey, when are you coming back?”“I’ll be late. I might need to work overnight. Have you eaten?”“I've eaten. How about you?”“I’ve eaten in the cafeteria. I’m pretty busy here. Take care of yourself!”“Alright, go ahead. Bye bye!”His action of ending the phone call abruptly made Lin Wan frown. He wasn’t like this before. No matter how busy he was, he would say bye before ending the call. What was wrong with him today?Perhaps he was too busy today. All of a sudden, Lin Wan wanted
Shaking her head, Lin Wan thought she was being a little too sketchy.This was funny. It was just a casual question, what could those words possibly mean? How could she associate it with her husband being angry?“It's been a while since we've shared a romantic moment. And I want to have a candlelight dinner with you.”Lin Wan cheerfully replied to her husband but was greeted with silence from the other side. Li Mu did not respond to her message, as if he had not seen the message she sent him.“Honey, don't you like it?” Lin Wan couldn't help but send another message.He replied instantly, with three big red words plastered on the screen, “No, I don’t!”Lin Wan's felt the urge to cry. She cooked with so much effort just to enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner with her husband, and the response she got was that her husband didn't like it.Little did she know that her husband was well aware
When she returned home, Lin Wan found that her husband still had not come home. She could not help but call Li Mu, who told her that he had left Shanyang for an urgent business trip.Lin Wan was stunned and took a long time to react before asking a very stupid question, “You… You've been home?”“Yes, I've gone home to pack my bags and just left a while ago. You don't have to worry about anything. I'll be away for about three days or so. I'll be back when I'm done here!”“Why didn't you give me a call if you were back home?” Lin Wan asked the second stupid question.“The fact that you're just thinking of calling me now means that you've just returned home. May I ask why you didn’t give me a call instead when you were out late at night?” Li Mu retorted slowly.“I… I was caught up with a rehearsal!” Lin Wan said sheepishly.“Oh, I see. Did their parents get mad at you for asking their kids to rehearse
“Why are you calling me this early?” Her husband spoke without affection.“Where are you?”“I’m in the hotel!”“I want to meet you at the hotel!”“Isn’t the final coming up very soon? Don't bother coming and focus on the competition instead. I'll go back soon!”“I want to have a video call with you then!”“Why?”“I haven't been seeing you a lot these few days. I miss you. I want to have a video call with you!” Lin Wan said affectionately.Without saying anything, Li Mu video-called her.Once the video call was connected, Lin Wan observed her husband's surroundings on purpose. She then breathed a huge sigh of relief and asked with a smile, “Honey, did you have breakfast already?”“Breakfast won’t be served until 7:30 in the morning. It’s not time yet. I'll head down and have breakfast later!”“You look really pale. Did you stay up late?
