My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 35 Negotiation

Yu Chengliang's greatest strength is his ability to maintain a proper balance. Since Song Yafei has already made her point, if he continues to pester her, he will only annoy her.

So, he retreated from Song Yafei's side with a wronged look on his face, lowered his head and said, "Then I'll go do my work first."

That kind of allure, let alone Song Yafei, probably no woman could resist it.

Before Song Yafei could even speak, Yu Chengliang delivered another fatal blow.

He glanced at me, his eyes blatantly filled with resentment.

"Brother Zhang, I'm leaving Ms. Song in your care. She drinks two cups of coffee every day, and..."

What a joke! I've been married to Song Yafei for so many years. Do I need a mistress to tell me what she likes and dislikes to eat?

I had already made up my mind to have nothing to do with Song Yafei anymore, so naturally I no longer have any fear of Yu Chengliang as before.

I glanced at him and said, "Since you're so eager to go, then come along!"

"You may not understand business matters, but you understand other situations very well."

Although Song Yafei hasn't yet revealed the purpose of my visit, judging from the situation, I can already guess pretty much what it is.

She was supposed to attend a banquet, the kind where only I could go.

Yu Chengliang is an artist under her management and also a mistress, so of course he can't appear with her at such an important occasion.

In particular, this is an occasion where business is also discussed.

No one wants to do business with a woman who has character flaws.

He probably didn't expect me to humiliate him in such a subtle way. Yu Chengliang pursed his lips, looking very hurt.

But Song Yafei rubbed her temples and didn't look at him.

He was humiliated and could only glare at me before whispering to Song Yafei.

"Then I'll wait for you to come home."

"it is good!"

After Yu Chengliang left, she reverted to her usual domineering female CEO persona when she treated me.

It was as cold as a mountain.

"You heard everything. Pack your things and come with me on this business trip."

It wasn't a banquet, but a business trip.

I refused without even thinking, saying, "I have a job now and I can't leave."

The reason that she could work was not enough to convince Song Yafei.

She stood up and looked at me, her eyes full of mockery.

"Isn't what I give you enough? Do you need to go out and earn money?"

I didn't say anything, I just watched her quietly.

"If that's not enough, I'll have Assistant Luo give you tens of thousands more each month, on the condition that you quit your job at the studio."

In my eyes, she has always been a businesswoman.

She knew that working at the studio was my dream job.

But perhaps they've already forgotten it all.

I scoffed, "How are you going to give it to me? Throw it in my face in public?"

Song Yafei probably also thought about how she had tacitly allowed her assistant to insult me ​​in the past, and a rare hint of guilt appeared in her eyes.

Her voice held a touch of warmth as she said, "It won't happen again."

But I won't be able to anymore.

If I had the chance to choose again, I would never choose to stay at home.

Moreover, this is not only something I enjoy doing, but also a guarantee for my future life.

I shook my head and said, "No, this is the job I like."

Song Yafei sneered, "Is it because of work, or because of the people inside? You know the answer in your heart."

I know she was talking about Xie Wenyao.

Looking at Xie Wenyao in front of me, I suddenly felt a little dazed.

She is completely different now than she was last night when she was drunk.

Sometimes, I can't even tell which one of her is the real her.

Because of her fickle attitude, I waved my hand in annoyance.

"Think what you want, but I can't go with you."

"There are plenty of people outside who are willing to go with you; just pick one."

Song Yafei looked displeased, but as expected of a businesswoman, she actually backed down to get me to agree.

"Okay, I believe you're doing this for work."

"If you really like it, you don't have to quit. I'll ask Xie Wenyao to ask you for a few days off. Is that alright?"

She probably still thinks that if I were given a piece of candy, she would wag her tail and stick to me.

It used to be because of love.

Now that there's no love left, why should I wrong myself?

"I'm not going, do you understand?"

"you……"

Song Yafei glared angrily, her face turning red with rage.

Perhaps she never imagined that I, who had once been so obedient to her, would one day repeatedly embarrass her.

I'm furious!

"Now that they've found a new job, they've become more assertive."

Further discussion is pointless.

I turned around and prepared to leave.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"no!"

In a moment of panic, she grabbed my arm.

This was one of the few times Song Yafei and I had physical contact while she was conscious.

I looked back at our intertwined hands, then at her, and saw that her eyes were red.

My heart skipped a beat.

She rarely does this.

I finally softened, sighed, and said somewhat helplessly, "Before you agree, I have something to ask you."

Song Yafei nodded. "Go ahead."

"Is Xu Hu's vehicle and cargo impounded related to you?"

Upon hearing my words, Song Yafei slowly loosened her grip, a bitter smile flashing across her face.

"Zhang Tian, ​​do you think that all the bad things happening around you are related to me?"

When Xu Hu got into trouble, I had some suspicions. I suspected that it was a way for her to force me to go home.

I just didn't want to get too involved, so I didn't contact her.

Now that she has come to us herself, it has cleared up our doubts and may even solve the problem, so that Xu Hu won't have to sigh and complain every day.

But judging from her expression, it doesn't seem so.

Song Yafei tugged at her disheveled sleeves.

In the blink of an eye, she returned to her icy demeanor.

My question gave her leverage in the negotiation.

"Come with me on this business trip, and I'll help you deal with Xu Hu's troubles, how about it?"

Xu Hu helped me when I was in trouble, and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Besides, I personally handed her the chips, so I acknowledge it.

"make a deal."

Xu Hu's matter was resolved, but she didn't mention the divorce at all.

She seemed to know what I was going to say, and before I could even open my mouth, she brushed me off by saying she was busy with work.

Well, at least one thing has been resolved.

While waiting for the elevator, Yu Chengliang suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I only glanced at him briefly and ignored him.

However, this did not stop him from moving closer.

All I heard was his sneer, "Don't think you've won this time. Without this status, you're nothing."

He thought those two sentences would be enough to anger me.

I glanced at him indifferently.

"But it's this identity that's holding you back, isn't that infuriating?"

“You…” Yu Chengliang was furious.

He probably never imagined I would respond so forcefully.

Since we've already decided to divorce, I won't continue to tolerate this.

The elevator doors opened, and I stepped inside, facing Yu Chengliang.

I retorted without backing down, "Envious? Angry? Then make Yafei divorce me, and we'll see what you're capable of."

As the elevator doors closed, Yu Chengliang stood outside, fuming and gesticulating wildly.
