Chapter 61: Premeditated

Chen Fangli’s expression also changed, his face sinking.

When Li Zhenguan and Chen Fangli weren’t smiling, they looked like the kind of people who were unapproachable.

Chen Fangli’s eyes looked at the man in front of him. He touched the area where he had been hit by the other party and felt a sharp pain. It should be an injury, with a little blood on his hand.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his oral cavity. There was a taste of rust. Chen Fangli suddenly laughed. He imperceptibly moved his wrist and threw a punch, hitting Li Zhenguan right in the face.

To be honest, he had disliked this face for a long time. Li Zhenguan himself may not have noticed that when he appeared, there was always some wariness on his face.

This wariness was enough to pierce his heart.

He had no evidence that this man was interfering in his and Wang Zhao’s relationship, or rather, it wasn’t that there was no evidence, but Li Zhenguan’s timing of appearance was too coincidental. He appeared just when Wang Zhao was at her lowest point, suddenly occupying this woman’s life in an unexpected manner, and taking root within just a year.

It was too fast, so fast that one couldn’t help but overthink.

Li Zhenguan was blocked by Li Zhenwei after throwing a punch at Chen Fangli, so Chen Fangli’s punch was unimpeded, passing through Li Zhenwei and directly hitting the corner of Li Zhenguan’s mouth.

A large bruise immediately appeared on Li Zhenguan’s face. His skin was fair, so this bruise looked very frightening. Li Zhenwei was also angered by Chen Fangli’s actions. She turned around and looked at Chen Fangli, her eyes darkening a little.

Her previous obstruction seemed to have provided convenience for Chen Fangli.

“Mr. Chen, you have gone too far.” Li Zhenwei didn’t hit men, but there were countless ways to teach someone a lesson.

Chen Fangli was not afraid at all. Some people always thought that their power was boundless, but the earth was vast. From this perspective, China was not big, and Jiangcheng was even smaller. Moreover, he was not the kind of person who feared power. Both his parents worked in work units, so Li Zhenwei couldn’t intimidate him.

So he smiled slightly and rubbed the place where Li Zhenguan had hit him with his fingertips. It hurt even with a light touch, and the muscles should be damaged. His eyes carried a hint of coldness.

“Miss Li, it seems that the Li family’s upbringing is not very good either?”

Li Zhenwei looked at Chen Fangli without speaking, but her expression didn’t match her words. She protected Li Zhenguan and also avoided Chen Fangli’s further actions. Her entire brows and eyes pressed down, and the imposing manner on her body became even heavier.

To be honest, this was a scenario that Li Zhenwei had not imagined. She had never thought of helping her brother-in-law deal with his third party. Perhaps it couldn’t even be called a third party yet. At most, Chen Fangli could be considered a historical remnant.

Before she could say the next sentence, the three people present suddenly heard the sound of an engine starting, and then a car beside them drove out from next to the three of them.

Li Zhenguan and Chen Fangli turned their heads, one turning around and the other looking back, only to find that while they were fighting and talking, Wang Zhao had directly driven away, leaving only the exhaust gas in the air that seemed to be mocking them.

Chen Fangli didn’t hide it and directly sneered.

Li Zhenguan wanted to chase after her, but Li Zhenwei directly stopped him. The slippers on his feet were meant for indoor wear, and now they had become like this. Running out would only make people laugh at him.

“What a state you’re in! Let’s go back and talk about it. Your two legs can’t catch up with the car’s four wheels.”

Li Zhenguan’s voice was already a little hoarse at this time. He felt that he couldn’t say a word and could only watch that black car disappear from his sight.

Chen Fangli glanced at these two people. At this time, his cell phone vibrated. He took it out, slid open the screen, and looked at it, only to find that it was a message sent by Wang Zhao.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, suddenly pulling the wound on his face, and couldn’t help but hiss. However, his mood was better. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two Li family members and put away his phone, walking towards the stairs.

The exit Wang Zhao mentioned should be the parking lot exit, just twenty or thirty meters away from the building entrance.

Li Zhenwei’s mind was now all on her younger brother, and she had no mood to deal with Chen Fangli. She watched coldly as the other party left and then pulled Li Zhenguan away.

She also reprimanded him a few times. She had never said harsh words to this younger brother before, but this time was different. Making a scene for a woman and behaving so humbly made her dissatisfied with Wang Zhao.

Some messy things from before the marriage had not been resolved until now. It seemed that she was not someone who could bear responsibility. Li Zhenwei began to doubt whether she had misjudged the person before.

Li Zhenguan remained silent. After Wang Zhao left, he was like this, looking completely disheartened. It was really disappointing. Li Zhenwei really couldn’t bear to look at it.

However, she was still unclear about the real reason why these two quarreled, so she had to inquire.

Uncle Yang coaxed the child to sleep, put him in the cradle, poured a glass of fruit tea for Li Zhenwei and Li Zhenguan, put it on the coffee table, and found a medical box and placed it under the coffee table. Then he returned to his room. Sometimes, one had to learn to cover one’s ears regarding the gossip of the host family. If one could avoid getting involved, then don’t get involved.

Li Zhenwei took a sip of tea and looked at Li Zhenguan, who was sitting beside her and constantly making phone calls. She felt a little headache. How did this child develop such a personality?

“Zhenguan, why did you and Wang Zhao quarrel today?” Li Zhenwei sat beside him and asked after looking at Li Zhenguan’s actions with half-lowered eyes. “You even quarreled so fiercely. Fortunately, I specifically told Uncle Yang before that if anything happened, he should come to me first. Otherwise, you two would have made a scene in front of mom and dad today, making the two elders worry.”

Their parents were old and were afraid that their youngest son was not living comfortably. Li Zhenguan had gotten pregnant before marriage, with a big belly early on. At that time, their family had not even met Wang Zhao. Yang Jin almost had a heart attack from the fright and couldn’t sleep all night.

Li Zhenguan’s fingers on the phone screen paused, and his eyes reddened a little more, but he held back in front of Li Zhenwei, only saying in a low voice, “Sister, I don’t want to divorce Wang Zhao.”

Li Zhenwei frowned. How big of a fight must it have been to bring up the matter of divorce?

Her expression was not good: “Did she cheat?”

Li Zhenwei didn’t pay attention to what Li Zhenguan said earlier. Boys had soft hearts and cherished old feelings, so it was not easy to walk out of a relationship. But in Li Zhenwei’s view, nothing was impossible. If Wang Zhao was the one at fault, she had the ability to make the other party leave empty-handed.

She wouldn’t let Li Zhenguan suffer. Thinking this in her heart, Li Zhenwei touched Li Zhenguan’s head, and her face softened with rare gentleness. She only had this one younger brother, raised at home. Their parents had never said a harsh word to him. He grew up with his maternal grandfather when he was young, and he was also pampered, growing from such a small child to such a big one.

“Zhenguan, if Wang Zhao is not good to you, let’s not miss her.”

If the elders came, they might still have to say to make peace, saying that since they had a child, they should figure out how to continue living together. After all, the child was so young and couldn’t be without a mother.

But Li Zhenwei wouldn’t. She scorned such statements.

She was a woman and had a concept of such things. She had seen a lot. Once a person cheated once, there would be a second time, and then countless times. It would become like breathing because people who had pursued excitement found it difficult to accept a consistently bland life, living with one person unchanged for fifty or sixty years. How tiring that would be, they would think.

This statement was not limited to women. In terms of sex, emotional pursuits, and the thrill of immorality, most people were the same.

Hearing Li Zhenwei’s words, Li Zhenguan raised his head and slowly shook it: “She’s not the one at fault, it’s me. Everything is because I’m not good.”

Saying this, Li Zhenguan couldn’t help but have red eyes again, with tears about to fall but not falling. He was actually very afraid, afraid that Wang Zhao would really leave and never return. He had made so many calls just now, but none of them were answered. On the other end of the line was a cold and familiar artificial voice.

In front of Li Zhenwei, he still couldn’t control his fear: “Sister, I don’t want to leave Wang Zhao. Without her, I won’t be able to live.”

“No one can’t live without someone else.” Li Zhenwei said, but seeing Li Zhenguan’s constantly trembling thin back, she still sighed. “Zhenguan, tell me honestly, why did Wang Zhao quarrel with you?”

Since it wasn’t cheating, then based on her understanding of her sister-in-law, for her to be so angry, it shouldn’t be a small matter.

Li Zhenguan fell silent.

It was difficult for him to reveal his despicable side and unscrupulous means in front of Li Zhenwei, although these were all inherited from the Li family’s bloodline and kinship. But he still felt a little inferior.

Back then, after the blind date with Wang Zhao, he had been closely watching her. The coffee shop downstairs from Wang Zhao’s company was his favorite place to go because every morning at 8:45 and every afternoon at 2:30, Wang Zhao would always go there very punctually to buy a cup of coffee. Sometimes it was iced Americano, sometimes it was latte, but she didn’t seem to like drinking coffee very much now.

He often skipped classes and sat downstairs all day, just to see her, twice a day, four out of seven days a week. He could be in this coffee shop, and even the shop staff already knew him.

However, he quickly noticed that Wang Zhao’s mood seemed to be getting worse every day. The number of times she frowned increased, and the number of times she pressed her temples with her fingertips also increased. She looked very tired and exhausted. Once, she bumped into someone when entering the door, and coffee splashed on her white shirt.

Li Zhenguan could still recall her expression at that time.

Mixed with fatigue was helplessness and compromise. She looked at the coffee liquid on her body for a long time, seemingly lost in a daze. It took a while before she said to the person beside her who kept apologizing, “It’s okay.”

Then the next day at 8:45, Li Zhenguan didn’t wait for Wang Zhao in this coffee shop.

Even at 9 o’clock, she didn’t come.

He knew that something must have happened.

Wang Zhao was a person with a strong sense of time. During the month Li Zhenguan waited here, Wang Zhao was never late. She was prepared to buy a cup of coffee at the counter here between 8:40 and 8:50 and walk to the office building next to it.

Wanting to find a person in a big city was not actually that difficult, at least not that difficult for Li Zhenguan. If you were a little wealthier, had good connections, and had a decent face, then everything would be twice as effective.

So, on that particularly deep night, it was not so surprising that he appeared at that bar at the right time and took Wang Zhao away from the hands of a few men and women.

Because he had been watching her all along.

So, all the sympathy and goodwill that Wang Zhao had for him might have stemmed from his premeditation.
