Chapter 60 Hitting Someone
Wang Zhao’s emotions paused for a moment, and she subconsciously looked at Chen Fangli when she heard his words.
At this time, Li Zhenguan, who was standing beside her, felt many tiny whispers in his mind, each voice telling him the fact that he was about to be abandoned.
When his emotions became uncontrollable and his expression gradually became expressionless, Li Zhenwei arrived.
Seeing this situation, she couldn’t help but frown slightly, but in the next moment, her mind was pulled back by the crying sound of the baby.
Her arrival stabilized Li Zhenguan’s emotions that had already become uncontrollable, and Wang Zhao’s face became more gentle. Only Chen Fangli’s expression was not very good. He had confronted this woman before and knew she was not someone easy to deal with, possessing the unique coldness of a businessman.
Li Zhenwei’s expression was not pleasant. This scene was too embarrassing. Li Zhenguan was holding the child and wearing home clothes. He didn’t even change his slippers and went out like this. What kind of appearance was this!
Like Yang Shu’s thoughts, Li Zhenwei also suspected that all of this was caused by Chen Fangli. At the previous wedding, she felt that her brother-in-law’s ex-boyfriend was a troublemaker. She didn’t expect that her guess would come true now.
She didn’t go to say something to Li Zhenguan or Wang Zhao first, but turned to Yang Shu on the side, just frowning slightly, her voice calm: “Please help take care of the child for a while.”
Yang Shu was stunned for a moment before reacting to what Li Zhenwei said. This Miss Li was really polite. Taking care of the child was his duty in the first place, yet she still used an honorific. It sounded pleasant though. In his heart, this Miss Li was a respectable person no less than Wang Zhao.
He hesitantly walked towards Li Zhenguan and took the child over. Perhaps because Li Zhenwei had arrived, this time Li Zhenguan didn’t say anything when Yang Shu took the child from his arms, only watching as the child was carried away by Yang Shu.
Yang Shu had been taking care of the child for a while and had a way with soothing children. After a short while, the baby quieted down. He was afraid that the people here would start arguing again, so he deliberately took a few steps away. After the child stopped crying, the remaining few people all breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did Li Zhenwei have time to manage the three people standing here.
However, she glanced at Yang Shu, who was holding the child, and smiled, telling him to take the child upstairs first, saying that after all this commotion, the child might be hungry and needed to be fed.
She would not let outsiders see the joke.
Yang Shu glanced at Li Zhenguan and Wang Zhao. The two didn’t say anything, so he carried the child upstairs. When he walked away, he lowered his head and saw that the baby had stopped crying and was looking at him with wide eyes without blinking, not knowing what he was looking at. Yang Shu’s desire for gossip dissipated quite a bit, and he touched the child’s cheek.
He said with a smile, “What are you looking at?”
Wang Wen couldn’t speak yet, he could only open his small mouth and smile with curved eyes, not knowing what he was happy about.
Only after seeing Yang Shu leave did Li Zhenwei speak, mainly talking to Li Zhenguan: “Look at you, what are you like now? You didn’t even change your shoes when you came downstairs, and you came out like this.”
Her eyes were sharp and she saw that the soles of Li Zhenguan’s socks were stained with a layer of dust at the edges.
Li Zhenguan didn’t speak. He was always looking at Wang Zhao now, afraid that she would leave.
Li Zhenwei looked at her brother’s miserable appearance and was too lazy to say anything more. She was ready to send Chen Fangli away first before saying anything else. It was easy to talk when family got together, but with Chen Fangli, an outsider, here, there were some things she couldn’t bring up.
Moreover, Li Zhenwei thought that Wang Zhao was entangled with Chen Fangli and had a little intention of rekindling an old flame. Otherwise, how could it have turned into such a big deal today? From what Yang Shu said on the phone, it seemed that Wang Zhao had already packed her luggage and was going to move out.
“Mr. Chen, we are handling private matters here. Please leave for a moment,” Li Zhenwei had a habit of being more polite the more annoyed she felt in her heart.
Chen Fangli didn’t move, but smiled and said, “I didn’t drive here today. I may need to trouble Wang Zhao to give me a ride later.” His words implied that he was waiting to leave together with Wang Zhao.
Li Zhenwei looked at Wang Zhao. Wang Zhao met Li Zhenwei’s gaze. She knew it was Yang Shu who had called Li Zhenwei over, and she was actually a little dissatisfied in her heart. She felt that there was no need to trouble Li Zhenwei when dealing with family problems, making her feel offended.
No one likes their spouse’s family to intervene when the couple is arguing. In a word, she felt that Li Zhenwei was being a bit nosy, but perhaps this was also because she was angry, so Wang Zhao’s current arrival of Li Zhenwei contained some anger.
She was a little dissatisfied, or there were other emotions mixed in, so she didn’t refute Chen Fangli’s words.
This was rare. Wang Zhao rarely got angry. This was enough to show that what Li Zhenguan had done in the past made her very angry, and this anger also carried a bit of feeling helpless about him. Too much had changed in a year, making her recall the confusion she felt when she first arrived in this world more than twenty years ago.
Moreover, Wang Zhao didn’t want to just let this matter go today in a calm manner. Otherwise, with Li Zhenguan’s personality, he wouldn’t have any reflection at all.
This person’s behavior was sometimes too extreme. Actually, before the car accident, Wang Zhao had already quarreled with Li Zhenguan once, also because she found that Li Zhenguan’s personality was too extreme. She was displeased in her heart. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t have been so irresponsible after getting involved with Li Zhenguan.
So marrying Li Zhenguan was not within her expectations, and Li Zhenguan’s pregnancy was also not within her expectations. To be honest, that night was too chaotic. She couldn’t even remember if she had taken safety precautions or not. Perhaps she did at the beginning, but she couldn’t remember clearly later on.
And because that night, Li Zhenguan took her out of the bar but didn’t send her to the hospital, instead taking her to a hotel… Wang Zhao sometimes didn’t like to recall the past, but the her who had lost her memories was forced to sort out what had happened in the past year these past few days.
Although she made the first move, this was not a very pleasant thing in Wang Zhao’s memory. The feeling of losing control under the influence and even temptation of drugs made her particularly uncomfortable.
And that time shouldn’t have been a good memory for Li Zhenguan either. She had hit him too hard. That delicately raised person with good skin was in a mess the next day, but when she still had some sense, he was still bold enough not to leave the hotel, but instead recklessly provoked her.
She let Li Zhenwei stop talking, bypassed Li Zhenguan, and was about to get in the car, motioning to Chen Fangli on the side to also get in the car. At this time, Li Zhenguan also went crazy and directly stood in front of the started car.
His figure was thin, and he just looked at Wang Zhao like this. Even with the sound of the car’s engine, he refused to take a step back, looking at Wang Zhao with a stubborn expression, as if he was determined that if she wanted to leave, she would have to run the car over him.
Wang Zhao pressed the horn, and the sound spread out in the spacious parking lot. She turned on the lights, and Li Zhenguan’s face turned to the side from the glare, but he still refused to give way.
Why should he give way?
What right did he have to give way?
Give way so that Chen Fangli could take advantage of the situation?
Li Zhenguan just pursed his lips, his eyes staring straight at Wang Zhao in the strong light, not willing to move a single step. At most, they would just be in a stalemate like this.
Li Zhenguan couldn’t help but think in a dark direction. Maybe Wang Zhao didn’t really have amnesia at all. She was just tired of being married to him for more than a year and wanted to rekindle her old relationship with Chen Fangli.
What business trip, what being able to go find her, what just going out to stay for a few days, they were all lies to deceive people. This person just wanted to abandon him.
But in the next moment, he would make excuses for Wang Zhao in his heart, thinking that all of this was Chen Fangli’s problem. It was because that person kept coming to pester Wang Zhao that she wanted to abandon him. None of this was her fault.
Wang Zhao sometimes had a very hard heart, but sometimes she was especially soft-hearted towards old flames. This was all the fault of Chen Fangli.
He suddenly stood in front of the car, not only scaring Wang Zhao but also Li Zhenwei. She really felt helpless about him. Who knew that her brother was a love-brained person, and an extreme love-brained person at that. Li Zhenwei felt that all of Li Zhenguan’s IQ points in recent years had been spent on falling in love.
“Are you not afraid of dying!” Li Zhenwei was also a little angry. She rarely cursed, but this time she was completely angered by her good-for-nothing brother.
Li Zhenguan only shook off Li Zhenwei’s hand in a daze, staring at Wang Zhao in the car like this: “You want me to let you go, fine, but he must get out of the car.”
Just having Chen Fangli sitting in the front passenger seat was enough to make him uncomfortable. In just a minute, Li Zhenguan had the desire to kill someone. He could even list several methods. In this day and age, it was still quite easy to kill a person. The difficult part was just not letting people find out.
He couldn’t do anything to Wang Zhao. He couldn’t bear to. But Chen Fangli was too much of an eyesore, wasn’t he? Time and time again, he was really like a fly, annoyingly.
Wang Zhao turned off the car lights, and Li Zhenguan closed his eyes for a moment before recovering. When he opened his eyes, his vision was still a little unclear, and he only stared at Wang Zhao.
Li Zhenwei didn’t want to continue this stalemate and directly tapped on the door.
“Mr. Chen, where do you live? I’ll give you a ride there,” she said with a smile. “You also saw that my sister-in-law is busy with something now, and her little husband still has something to say. It’s inconvenient for you to be here now. As the saying goes, it’s better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage, right?”
She was speaking to Chen Fangli in the car, but she was actually looking at Wang Zhao. The one who was really speaking here was her brother-in-law.
Her Zhenguan was a stubborn mule and wouldn’t easily come to his senses. She could only work on Wang Zhao’s side.
Chen Fangli didn’t speak. He turned his head to look at Wang Zhao. Today, he noticed a change in her attitude. She was no longer as distant from him as before. He didn’t know what had happened in between, but today’s events made him feel that Wang Zhao’s marriage didn’t seem to be that happy. It was just a pity that they seemed unable to return to how they were at the beginning.
Wang Zhao didn’t look at Li Zhenguan again. Her attitude towards Li Zhenwei was still quite good, just smiling: “Sister, I told Zhenguan that my work unit arranged for me to go on a business trip for the next few days. It’s really not a lie. There’s a case in the county that I need to go and understand, so I brought luggage when I went out. Have Zhenguan stop making a fuss and take him back first.”
This meant refusal.
Li Zhenguan also heard these words. But he didn’t believe it, not one bit.
So, he directly took a step forward, opened the front passenger door, and wanted to pull Chen Fangli out of the car.
Chen Fangli was not used to scuffling with people and took the initiative to get out of the car himself. This matter had turned out to be quite unsightly today. His face didn’t look too good. He had always been in a state of self-loathing, but he couldn’t let go of Wang Zhao. He was afraid that he would miss another opportunity.
Wang Zhao was afraid that Li Zhenguan would really take action, so she also hurriedly got out of the car. But she didn’t expect that it was this action of hers that directly angered Li Zhenguan. He punched Chen Fangli’s face, not lightly.
This was completely intending to make the person bleed.

One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.

But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”

Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
