Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

The next morning, while I was half asleep and half awake, the alarm clock suddenly went off.

"Honey," Le Yun muttered drowsily, "the alarm clock is ringing, go and turn it off."

No one responded.

The alarm clock is still ringing.

"Husband...husband..." Le Yun kicked the other side of the bed habitually.

The bed is empty.

Le Yun's heart sank and she woke up instantly.

Zhang Xiao is not at home.

Le Yun opened her eyes wide and stared at the familiar ceiling.Her hands unconsciously touched her side, but found nothing.Suddenly, a huge sadness came over her, as if her heart had been dug out completely. The extreme pain made her breathless, and the suffocation feeling quickly spread throughout her body.

At this moment, she realized that she still couldn't accept the fact that she was betrayed by her lover and best friend.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiao was busy with the company's listing in Hong Kong, so he only chatted with her on WeChat a few times every day. She also used the excuse that the law firm had too many things to do to minimize the contact between the two of them.

Le Yun took a deep breath and was about to get up and make a cup of coffee to go to work. At this moment——

The phone rang again.

This time it wasn't an alarm clock. Le Yun looked at the caller and saw that it was Fan Ying.

Le Yun frowned in disgust.

After what happened that day, Fan Ying called her countless times, but Le Yun refused.Several "small essays" written by Fan Ying were also deleted by her without even reading them.The reason why he hasn't blocked her yet is just to prepare for the unexpected after the showdown with Zhang Xiao.

"Belated affection is cheaper than grass." It turns out that this sentence is not only applicable to love.What's more, some harm, once caused, can never be forgiven.

Leyun got up and walked into the bathroom.

The water in the shower was adjusted to be hotter than usual, and the skin all over her body was soaked pink. Le Yun closed her eyes, held her breath and raised her head, letting the water wash over her cheeks. Le Yun liked this clean feeling, It seems that the whole body is full of energy.

Change your clothes and blow dry your hair.Le Yun spent more time on makeup than usual.

The more she is in a bad mood, the more she needs to cheer herself up.

There was a knock on the door.

Le Yun was a little surprised, who could it be so early in the morning.

She opened the door, which was both unexpected and reasonable: Fan Ying appeared at the door nervously.

"Le Yun..." Fan Ying looked at her, feeling guilty and guilty. She just called out her name, and tears began to fall quickly from her eyes.Seeing that Le Yun had no intention of closing the door, she boldly took a step forward, "I want to talk to you."

"I have to go to the company for a meeting." Le Yun's eyes passed through Fan Ying and looked directly behind her, her expression cold and distant, as if Fan Ying standing in front of her was transparent, and her voice was also like her expression. , so cold without any emotion. "Besides, I don't think we have anything left to say."

"Please!" Fan Ying grabbed Le Yun's arm tightly with both hands, "Give me a chance to explain."

Le Yun pushed her hand away.

"Explain? What do you want to explain? Do you want to tell me that you didn't mean to hurt me? Do you want to say that no one can control emotional matters? Or do you want to persuade me that 'marriage without love is immoral', so that I can give it willingly? Will you give up?" Le Yun's tone remained calm, but anyone could tell that beneath the surface of the still water, there was already a turbulent undercurrent.

"I'm sorry." After a long while, Fan Ying uttered two words.

It was only then that Le Yun discovered that when the pain reaches the extreme, she will not cry uncontrollably, but will laugh instead.Just like her reaction at this moment.Having been a lawyer for many years, she is used to seeing the world and people's hearts, and she increasingly feels that sincerity is valuable.Looking at the best friend she once trusted wholeheartedly in front of her, Le Yun actually smiled when she heard the pale and worthless "I'm sorry".

Fan Ying was a little stunned. Obviously, Le Yun's reaction was far beyond her expectation.

"I still have something to do." Le Yun breathed out softly and walked directly to the elevator without looking at Fan Ying again.

"Leyun!"

Le Yun stopped, but she did not look back.

She didn't see Fan Ying's eyes looking at her back.

There was guilt in his eyes, but it only appeared for a moment.Soon, the guilt was replaced by another emotion, one of relief and determination to never give up.

"I love Zhang Xiao, and he loves me too. I will not give up on him."

Le Yun felt her body shake obviously, and she even heard her heart beat out of rhythm due to panic.

She was glad that her back was to Fan Ying, so the other party couldn't see her expression at the moment.

Fortunately, the elevator has arrived.

Leyun walked in quickly.

The moment the elevator door closed, Le Yun leaned in the elevator and raised her head.

Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

I have to remember to call the property management for a while, Le Yun thought to herself, the lights in the elevator are too dazzling...

"We just summarized the work we did in the previous Li Wenjie case," Chen Zonghan, Le Yun, An Daiqing, and other lawyers were sitting in the firm's conference room.Chen Zonghan is presiding over the meeting, "Then next, we need to discuss our future defense strategy. Le Yun, what do you think?"

"I think we should try to find a new suspect next. I have asked Dai Qing to do relevant investigation work." Le Yun looked at An Daiqing.

An Daiqing looked through the information in front of her, then leaned back in her chair, smiled helplessly, and said: "In previous cases, it was extremely difficult to find another suspect and transfer the suspicion of the client. This time Every case is different. The most difficult part is not that you can't find another suspect, but that there are too many people to choose from."

"Dang Dang Dang" the door of the conference room was knocked.

Everyone looked in the direction of the door. The door opened and no one could be seen. They only saw a large bouquet of flowers. It looked like there were at least five or six bouquets. They stumbled into the conference room.Just when everyone was surprised, the face of the girl at the front desk appeared through the gap in the flowers.

"Boss, these are flowers sent by clients who have been defrauded by Luheng Investment Company. They say they are for Li Wenjie's defense lawyer."

Uh-huh!All eyes instantly shifted from the flowers to Le Yun.

Le Yun covered her face.

An Daiqing saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. She stood up, took the flowers, and focused her attention on Le Yun.

"Rather than sending flowers, I really hope these people believe that Li Wenjie is innocent." Le Yun helplessly looked at the delicate flowers in front of her, not knowing whether to be happy or worried for a moment.

"Everyone can take a look at the information I have collected so far." An Daiqing distributed the information in his hand to everyone attending the meeting.

"There are many people who have been defrauded by Zhao Bin's financial company, and there are not a few with large amounts. In view of the importance of this case to the company, it will take me some time to find one that best meets our conditions."

Chen Zonghan nodded, "Very good. Dai Qing, please continue to investigate."

An Daiqing stretched out her hand and gestured "OK".

"I think there is another thing that we may have ignored before." Le Yun looked at the investigation materials An Daiqing gave her. She looked up and saw Chen Zonghan's encouraging eyes, smiled slightly, and continued, "I remember that the police once collected After passing the testimony of Secretary Zhao Bin, she said that on the day of the incident, she had followed Zhao Bin's request and helped him exchange 8 US dollars. And about an hour before the incident, she personally handed the 8 US dollars to Zhao Bin. A Hours later, Zhao Bin was killed in the parking lot. However, the police investigation report did not provide any explanation of the existence and whereabouts of the $8. Li Wenjie was arrested on the spot, and on him and in his home, There was no mention of the discovery of the money in any of the accounts under his and his wife’s names. US$8 is not a small amount, could it have evaporated on its own?”

"You mean, whoever holds the $8 may be the person we are looking for." Chen Zonghan said thoughtfully.

"I think that's very likely." Le Yun said, then she looked at An Daiqing sitting opposite with a smile, "As for whether my idea is correct or not, I have to rely on Daiqing to confirm it."

"Don't worry, it will definitely fulfill its mission."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became relaxed, and everyone put forward some of their own ideas and suggestions.

Le Yun's morning haze has been swept away.

Putting herself into work is the most effective way for her to stabilize her emotions now.

At the entrance of Fan Ying's community, Zhang Xiao got out of the taxi.He took out his luggage from the trunk and walked in quickly.

After skilled fingerprint verification, Zhang Xiao opened the entrance door.

The aroma of beef stew in red wine penetrated from the kitchen into the living room. He put down his luggage and opened the sliding door of the kitchen.

In front of the stove, Fan Ying was wearing an apron and guarding a stew pot, fearing that the heat was not good enough.

A pair of hands stretched out from behind her and hugged her tightly.

"It smells so good." Zhang Xiao took a deep breath of the air filled with the aroma of red wine and meat.

Fan Ying turned around with a smile and hugged Zhang Xiao's neck, "You're tired, go and have a rest. You can eat soon."

Zhang Xiao lowered his head, burying his entire face into Fan Ying's neck, and kissed her like a rain of confused and wild kisses.Fan Ying closed her eyes, enjoying Zhang Xiao's urgency and passion.

With a "dang" sound, the spatula fell from the stove to the ground.

At the dining table carefully arranged by Fan Ying, Zhang Xiao picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. It was tender and juicy and melted in his mouth.Fan Ying looked at him gently with a smile on her face.

Zhang Xiao enjoys being with Fan Ying.Fan Ying's obedience and infinite tenderness greatly satisfied his vanity as a man.Here in Fan Ying, he can completely relax and find freshness and excitement, which are things that he has long been unable to feel in his marriage to Leyun.

"I came back two days early on purpose without telling anyone. This way we can have two full days to spend time together." Zhang Xiao rubbed Fan Ying's cheek a few times with his thumb, "Later After you finish eating, you clean up and we go shopping together. Haven’t you wanted to buy that Gucci bag for a long time? We’ll go get it back in a moment.”

Hearing Zhang Xiao mention the Gucci bag, a trace of hesitation appeared on Fan Ying's face. She bit her lip and lowered her eyes.

"Le Yun came to see me. She already... knows."

Zhang Xiao's chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

"Zhang Xiao, should we discuss carefully how you should answer if she asks you." Fan Ying said while observing Zhang Xiao's reaction carefully.

The delicacies that were so exciting just now are now tasteless in front of Zhang Xiao.

No wonder every time he contacted Leyun in the past few days, Leyun would just hang up the phone after saying a few words, not caring at all about the company's listing.It turned out that she already knew about her and Fan Ying.What would she do?Based on his understanding of Le Yun, it was impossible for her to forgive such a thing. So it seemed that the answer was already coming out. Could it be that Le Yun had already made up her mind to separate from him?

Thinking of divorce, cold sweat broke out from Zhang Xiao's back.Although he felt very comfortable with Fan Ying, Zhang Xiao never thought about letting Fan Ying take Le Yun's place.From the deepest part of his heart, all he wants is to maintain the status quo: his wife will always be his wife, and his lover will always be his lover.It would be best for both parties to be like planets in the Milky Way, each following its own trajectory, circling its own circle, and never intersecting.

What's more: property.

Zhang Xiao started from scratch.When he started his business, he and Le Yun were already married.So not only did they not have a prenuptial agreement, but the wealth he owned and the company he worked so hard to build were all joint property of the couple.

Divorce means that his property will be divided.Zhang Xiao knew very well that for him now, divorce was the biggest financial loss.What's more, now is the critical moment for the company to officially list in Hong Kong...

No divorce, at least not for now.

Zhang Xiao's hesitation and entanglement were all seen by Fan Ying.Fan Ying is not a lover, she knows why Zhang Xiao is with her, and more importantly, she knows what she wants.

She does not have Leyun's high IQ and excellent business abilities.She is just an ordinary clerk, and the only thing she can offer is her pretty appearance and her charming personality.But at this age, she understands better than anyone else that youth is fleeting, and the so-called good character is only dispensable, but by no means irreplaceable.If she wants to live the life she has always wanted in Bincheng, a university in Nuovo, Zhang Xiao is her best chance.She will never let go easily.She is confident that she understands Le Yun better than anyone else.They say, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger." What she has to do now is to prepare for herself step by step.

Thinking of this, she stood up, sat next to Zhang Xiao, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Zhang Xiao, I don't want to embarrass you. Don't be anxious, tell Le Yun when you get back, yes I fell in love with you wishfully, and I was the one who stalked you. In the whole incident, you were completely passive and innocent. In short, you put all the responsibility on me. In this way, maybe you will be happy Yun will forgive you. You won’t need to divorce. As for me, don’t worry, there’s no need to embarrass you.”

Zhang Xiao didn't want to divorce Le Yun, but what he feared most in his heart was that Fan Ying would force her to get married and keep pestering her.He didn't expect that Fan Ying would be so gentle and sensible when he was in a dilemma.He felt a sense of peace of mind, but then, a complex emotion mixed with the man's so-called face and guilt rose from the bottom of his heart. He held Fan Ying's hand tightly and pulled her into his arms.

"No. I can't let you bear all the responsibilities alone. Don't worry, give me some time, I will solve this matter, trust me."

Fan Ying nodded obediently, "Zhang Xiao, you know, when I was with you, I never thought about replacing Le Yun's position. I know that I am not as smart and capable as Le Yun, and I never expected to find someone like you. Such an outstanding man. So, as long as I can be by your side, even if it's only for a moment, even if I never see the light of day, I don't care at all. So..." She raised her head, caressed Zhang Xiao's cheek with her left hand, and spoke to him affectionately Looking at each other, their eyes were so clear that no impurities could be seen, and they said sincerely and emotionally: "You don't have to feel pressure, because I don't have any requirements for you. I'm right here, waiting for you to come back."

Zhang Xiao didn't speak, he just held her in his arms again, stroking her hair while thinking about how to deal with and comfort Le Yun.

Behind him, Fan Ying opened her eyes with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing an expression of determination to win.
