Wang Qiling wiped her tears and smiled gently at me. "Xiao Ling, I know you're angry, but Chengji didn't mean it. Don't hold it against him. You're bored lying in bed anyway; why don't we sit down and discuss how to resolve this matter?"
Li Chengji tightened his embrace around Wang Qiling, looking touched. "Lingling, you're so understanding; I don't even know what to say."
Not knowing what to say, I decided to remain silent.
While they were going back and forth, I had already asked Li Xingyu to take me home and help me pack my things.
I was injured and couldn't go home for now, so I had to temporarily move into Li Xingyu's house.
Li Xingyu didn't object.
In the car, I told him about Li Chengji.
"…That's basically the situation. His infidelity after the marriage caused my company's stock price to drop significantly, losing quite a bit of market value. I haven't calculated the exact amount yet, but it's definitely not less than twenty million; he has to compensate me."
Li Xingyu was driving when he asked casually, "Do you want me to pay him?"
I blinked. "Don't you want to pay this money?"
Li Xingyu countered, "Why should I pay this money?"
"Whoever caused the trouble should clean it up," Li Xingyu said expressionlessly. "He's an adult; he should be responsible for his actions."
After a moment of silence, I asked, "You really don't care about that twenty million?"
Li Xingyu turned his head to glance at me, a smirk playing on his lips, his face wearing a mocking smile.
I understood.
Li Xingyu didn't care about Li Chengji at all; how could he possibly feel sorry for his money?
I felt relieved.
"By the way," Li Xingyu said, looking ahead, "I have an urgent meeting later. After you get home, just lie down obediently and let Aunt Zhao apply some medicine for you, okay?"
The last "okay" had a slight upward inflection that seemed somewhat enticing.
My cheeks flushed, and I couldn't help but feel my ears turn red. "I got it."
"Very good." Li Xingyu smiled.
When we arrived at the Li Family home, Aunt Zhao was waiting by my luggage.
I glanced around and noticed that the third floor was Li Xingyu's bedroom.
"Move my things to the third floor," I said.
Aunt Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then her face broke into a smile. "Alright, alright!"
"Newlyweds shouldn't sleep apart," I joked.
Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly. "Young Mistress is absolutely right!"
She directed the workers to move all my belongings into Li Xingyu's bedroom.
"Young Mistress, do you need a professional organizer?" Aunt Zhao asked. "You have quite a lot of things; I can have one come over tomorrow to help you tidy up."
"Sure."
I lay on the bed scrolling through my phone.
There was still no news in the entertainment section; I had scheduled the announcement for noon.
Once the bedroom was tidied up, I was carefully moved to the third floor again.
Aunt Zhao helped me remove my makeup and apply skincare products.
Lying on the bed, I was still thinking about the original plot.
In the original story, Li Chengji and Wang Qiling had booked a hotel room for three days and nights. When Li Xingyu found out, he called Li Chengji back and gave him a severe scolding, confiscating his bank card.
Li Chengji harbored resentment and secretly transferred assets while also covertly acquiring shares. Eventually, during the company shareholders' meeting, he turned the tables and ousted Li Xingyu.
After Li Xingyu fell from grace, I abandoned him and got together with Li Chengji.
Then came all sorts of melodramatic events: Li Xingyu fell seriously ill, Li Chengji faked his death, and I went bankrupt...
In the end, I met a tragic death while Li Xingyu lived a lonely life.
Li Chengji and Wang Qiling—one was a scumbag, the other a shameless woman—neither of them were good people.
In the original plot, Wang Qiling later became famous with a movie and rose to become a top starlet.
After being ousted, Wang Qiling immediately cut ties with Li Chengji and even kicked him while he was down.
These two were indeed a perfect match.
However, now that I'm here, Wang Qiling, I'll help you achieve fame in the entertainment industry ahead of time.
