Tong Le prepared three dishes and a soup, along with two steaming bowls of white rice. Zong Zeyu, who had taken his seat early, looked extremely obedient as he carefully watched Tong Le.
Glancing at him, Tong Le placed the largest piece of beef brisket into Zong Zeyu's bowl and said, "Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and eat. Once you're done, you can go back to your own home, just like you promised me."
Zong Zeyu reminded her, "Aren't you going to check your phone?"
Tong Le blinked and casually replied, "Are you talking about Si Qun's gossip? I saw it while I was cooking. Right now, rumors about you and me are flying everywhere."
Zong Zeyu let out a small sigh of relief. "I thought you would be angry."
Tong Le directly picked up a strangely colored oil-braised shrimp and tossed it onto Zong Zeyu's plate. With a professional smile on her face, she said, "Of course I'm angry! While I was looking at my phone, this shrimp was suffering in the oil pot. Such an expensive shrimp, and now it's burnt! I almost wanted to throw you into the oil pot and fry you up! When I saw those messages in the group chat, I really wanted to smash the spatula over your head!"
Zong Zeyu was slightly startled; when his wife got angry, it was quite intimidating. He glanced down at the dark shrimp on his plate and felt relieved that it was the shrimp suffering instead of him.
Straightening his back, he promised, "Don't worry. I'll handle this matter. From now on, no one in the company will discuss this."
While eating, Tong Le shook her head. "That won't help much. I wouldn't be surprised if you could control your employees; honestly, I don't care. I guess Ke Jie already knows about us. He called me three times just now, but I didn't answer. He's definitely going to make a scene about this. But that's fine; it's about time he did. After all these years of grievances I've endured because of him, I want to take this opportunity to settle the score."
Zong Zeyu looked at his wife with admiration; even his appetite improved. "It's good that you can let it go. Honestly, I don't care what others think or say about me. They may think I'm doing something immoral, but we both know that our relationship is genuine—childhood friends with unrequited feelings. Ke Jie has been scheming against you; you don't love him, and he doesn't love you either. That marriage has long since ended; it's just not legally concluded yet."
Tong Le replied seriously, "That still doesn't work! Even if what you say makes sense, as long as the legal ties aren't severed, we can't act freely! I've already thought it through—if anyone asks later on, I'll say that I seduced you and that you didn't agree; it was me who kept pursuing you. My reputation doesn't matter; yours does."
It was only then that Tong Le realized how she had almost missed the point when he rambled on about their childhood friendship.
Zong Zeyu silently watched Tong Le eat; she looked adorable while enjoying her meal. He thought to himself that no matter what others said outside, he didn't care at all—he only wanted the happiness they had right now.
He then casually suggested, "So I'll stay here tonight."
Tong Le looked up and glared at him. "No way!"
Zong Zeyu obediently continued eating. "Alright then."
Later that night at Lan Qingqing's apartment.
Lan Qingqing and Mo Kai Liang entered the house one after another. At that moment, Zhang Huizhi had just sent away the cleaning staff from their home. Since He Shui Xian had passed away, the small bedroom had become available again. Zhang Huizhi felt it was unlucky and decided to have a thorough cleaning done to disinfect both inside and outside the small bedroom.
Lan Qingqing looked dejected; her mother's funeral had been handled simply, and the body had already been cremated. She felt utterly exhausted.
Mo Kai Liang spoke up, "Aunt, have you eaten? Let me make something simple for you."
Zhang Huizhi glanced at Lan Qingqing intentionally and said, "Lan Qingqing, why don't you go make dinner?"
Lan Qingqing did not resist; she had already convinced herself that she couldn't confront Zhang Huizhi head-on. She wouldn't choose a battle that would only disadvantage herself.
She would temporarily comply with Zhang Huizhi, but in the end, she would definitely triumph over her! Besides, at this moment, she had no mind to deal with Zhang Huizhi; her thoughts were consumed by Tong Le's infidelity with Zong Zeyu!
She was frustrated! She was jealous! She could not accept that Tong Le had found a better man!
Lan Qingqing got up and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Huizhi pulled Mo Kai Liang aside and whispered, "Did she say anything bad about me today?"
Mo Kai Liang paused for a moment before changing the subject. "Aunt, do you know about Cousin's son? His wife has cheated on him, and with the boss of Zong Group."
Zhang Huizhi's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about? Who cheated? Who? Ah!"
Mo Kai Liang repeated, "The boss of Zong Group, the largest company in the area, very wealthy. It’s said that this big boss called Cousin's wife 'my dear' right in front of the staff."
Zhang Huizhi felt her legs go weak. It wasn't that she was heartbroken; it was that Tong Le actually dared to cheat! Moreover, the man she cheated with was a hundred times wealthier than Ke Jie. This was something she could not accept! Absolutely not!
Such humiliation was worse than having someone defecate on her head!
