Chapter 735: She Agreed
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I hope you don’t take too long to think about it.” Qin Zhen looked at Tong Fei’s conflicted expression and continued, “Actually, this is also an opportunity for you to take revenge on him. He abandoned you for his wife, ruined your career, and forced you to leave your homeland. Don’t you hate him?”
Qin Zhen exaggerated her situation and as expected, Tong Fei bought it.
She had indeed ended up like this thanks to Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan.
If not for Shu Pan’s reappearance in his life, she was probably Mrs. Gu now instead of wandering around like this.
People might think that she was living a good life, but she was the only person who knew how miserable her life was. Men were only nice to her so they could take advantage of her. None of them were serious about her. They just wanted to have fun. She was already numb to these things.
She had no choice but to accept this way of life because she had to stay alive.
She had made peace with her reality until Qin Zhen brought it up and made her feel indignant once again.
Why should Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan live happily together while she lived stripped of her dignity?
At this moment, the hatred in Tong Fei’s eyes looked a little terrifying.
“I hate them. I want to take revenge on them. Mr. Qin, what do I get if I agree to your request?” Tong Fei looked up at him and asked.
“I will never let you work for free. I’ll give you a sum of money.” Qin Zhen said readily. Everything was easy with money.
“Okay. You just need to tell me what to do.” Tong Fei said firmly.
“You just need to…” Qin Zhen told Tong Fei his plan.
Tong Fei pursed her lips and nodded.
…
Everything was ready except for the crosses on T’s and the dots on I’s. Gu Shaoting received a call from Qin Zhen one evening asking him out to eat and drink.
Gu Shaoting thought that he was free and he would be going home soon, so he accepted the invite to bid his friend farewell.
Before Gu Shaoting went to meet Qin Zhen, he made a call but it wasn’t picked up.
Gu Shaoting frowned and then called home.
“Sir?” Auntie Li answered the call.
“Is Madam not home yet?” Shu Pan didn’t pick up his call just now.
“She’s home already. She’s reading in the study now.”
“Has she been feeling unwell lately? Can she eat?” Gu Shaoting tried to find out the truth because Shu Pan always told him only the positive things whenever he asked her.
Auntie Li thought for a moment and said, “She vomited everything she ate a while ago. She’s been much the past two days. She only complained that the soup I made for her was too rich, but she still drank it in the end.”
Auntie Li chuckled at the end of the sentence.
Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but chuckle when he imagined Shu Pan’s disgusted look.
“Thank you for your hard work, Auntie Li. Please take good care of her.” Gu Shaoting said gratefully.
“Would you like Madam to call you back? Is there anything urgent?”
“No, it’s fine. I’m not free later.” Gu Shaoting hung up after giving a quick explanation.
Then, he looked at the time. It was almost time, so he left to meet Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen had arrived at the restaurant long ago. He had ordered the dishes in advance and then brandy and whiskey when he got there. These were hard liquor. He and Gu Shaoting had only drunk red wine together.
When Gu Shaoting arrived, the dishes had just been served.
“You’re so thoughtful to let me eat as soon as I arrive.” Gu Shaoting said with a smile. But when he saw the hard liquor on the table, he couldn’t help but be stunned. “Why do you want to drink these tonight?”
“I’m feeling a bit down. Keep me company and drink something different?” Qin Zhen replied perfunctorily.
