On the phone, Tong Le expressed her demands to Dao Wen.
Dao Wen readily replied, "Don't worry, little girl. I've got this covered. Just wait for my message in ten minutes."
Tong Le thanked him.
On the other end, Dao Wen sighed silently. "Tong Le, don't you think you've become increasingly timid? Ever since you married Ke Wenjie and your parents fell ill, you've been downcast. Now, even in your own family business, you have no place. If only you could muster the same spirit you had when dealing with me back then, you wouldn't be so easily manipulated by Ke Wenjie."
Tong Le forced a smile. "I know I'm weak, but I won't stay weak forever. Now that my parents have passed away, I won't be afraid of upsetting them over the divorce anymore. I have no ties now; I won't be like I was before."
Dao Wen responded, "Alright, just let me know if you need anything. You can count on Sister Wen to help you. But I still can't figure out why your father had no interest in me back then. You could have ignored me completely; why did you feel the need to persuade me to leave Tong Company?"
Tong Le explained, "I knew my father wouldn't like you; he only loved my mother in his life. But my mother is sensitive and suspicious. Regardless of whether my father had feelings for anyone else, she would worry and lose sleep over it. I negotiated with you for her health."
Dao Wen remarked, "Tong Le, do you know what your biggest flaw is? You think too much about others! You should live for yourself too! Alright, I’ll hang up now; I'll call you later."
Meanwhile, at Tong Company.
Lan Qingqing entered Ke Wenjie's office carrying a bag of clothes.
Ke Wenjie had just hung up the phone when Lan Qingqing casually locked the office door behind her.
She swayed her slender waist and leaned closer to Ke Wenjie, playfully saying, "Your wife sent me to bring you some clean clothes. Do you want me to help you change?"
Feigning flirtation, Lan Qingqing was met with a slightly cold expression from Ke Wenjie. "You locked the office door; when an important guest arrives, they'll think we're up to something inappropriate. Go unlock it; we don't want the employees gossiping."
With a pout and no smile left on her face, Lan Qingqing went to unlock the door.
She sat on the sofa and complained, "You've been neglecting me lately. Didn't you promise not to see Tong Le again? Yet here we are with her pregnant."
Ke Wenjie looked up with confusion in his eyes as he adjusted his glasses. "Tong Le is pregnant?"
Lan Qingqing shrugged. "Maybe? Tong Le said she's going to the hospital for a check-up soon. But your mother mentioned that Tong Le had a fever and took medicine recently; she can't keep this baby."
Ke Wenjie hurriedly picked up his phone to make a call, but Lan Qingqing glared at him threateningly. "You don’t actually want to keep Tong Le's baby, do you? What did you promise me? You were going to divorce her! You’re going to marry me!"
Ke Wenjie set down his phone with a weary tone. "I've already told you why I’m not divorcing Tong Le; don’t overthink it."
As she played with her nails, Lan Qingqing replied, "Yeah, I know—it's all about that missing piece of land you've been searching for all these years. Where is it? Who owns it? No one even knows!"
Ke Wenjie stood up and sat beside Lan Qingqing, wrapping his arm around her shoulders affectionately. "That's why I need your help to get information from her, sweetheart. Tong Le only has you as a friend; you're the one she trusts most. You need to find out where that land is."
With a hint of pride in her voice, Lan Qingqing said, "Well, this is something only I can help with. If you're always asking her about that land, she'll think you're up to no good."
She reached out and gently poked Ke Wenjie's shoulder with her finger. "You can't leave me."
Ke Wenjie pressed his lips against Lan Qingqing's, saying, "If you help me find out the whereabouts of that piece of land, I'll send you abroad to pursue your master's degree."
Lan Qingqing immediately rejected the idea. "I don't want to go abroad! What if you get tempted by some other woman while I'm gone?"
Lost in her own thoughts, she continued, "But I know you love me. You, Ying Qian, have done so much for me—helping me with medical aesthetics to make me beautiful, buying me a house and a car, even paying for my education. What has Tong Le ever done for me? Not even a fart!"
She covered her mouth and giggled. "Darling, I will definitely help you find out about that land!"
Ke Wenjie adjusted his glasses, silently grumbling to himself. Of course, he would never agree to Tong Le undergoing any medical aesthetics procedures. She was already naturally beautiful; if she underwent surgery, she would be stunning beyond belief! He couldn't bear the thought of a crowd of admirers chasing after Tong Le. The current version of her was already more than enough; he absolutely could not let her become even more attractive!
Moreover, he would never send Tong Le abroad for further studies. Back in school, she was the top student in their class. If he sent her overseas, he would be the one facing divorce!
He had no intention of divorcing Tong Le. After all these years, if it weren't for her support and clever strategies behind the scenes, would he have achieved what he had today?
While he claimed he wanted to marry Lan Qingqing, he knew all too well what kind of woman she was. Some women were meant for companionship in life, while others were merely for fleeting pleasures in bed.
