BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112: Too Presumptuous
Chapter 112
The intimidating head of the marketing department that everyone in the company feared, and the unremarkable little advertising assistant, were husband and wife!
Even Zhang Xiya and the other two were stunned into silence.
The people gathered at the studio door couldn't hold back anymore. Exclamations and discussions instantly erupted into an uproar.
Li Zhen only then noticed how many people were blocking the door.
Li Zhen: ...
The sun was especially harsh today.
If only it could be more scorching.
And send her away for good!
Li Zhen's temples throbbed as she sighed weakly, "She's my ex-wife! Yu Sheng, could you be more precise with your words? She's my ex-wife!"
Crowd: ...
Zhao Yan: ...
Zhang Xiya and friends: ...
The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent again.
The chattering voices of over a dozen people stopped abruptly.
Their emotions had risen and fallen so quickly.
In just a few seconds, they went from thinking the two had a relationship, to thinking they were married, to finding out they were divorced?
They hadn't even fully digested the bombshell gossip before the next one came crashing down on them!
Fei Zhao silently gave Li Zhen a thumbs up, then glanced at the man beside him. The young master's expression hadn't softened one bit, still brooding like ink.
The next second, Fei Zhao saw the young master stride towards Yu Sheng.
Fei Zhao was thrilled!
Go for it, young master!
Slap the marriage certificate in that man's face!
Li Zhen noticed everyone out of the corner of her eye.
She suddenly saw someone heading her way in large strides.
When did Lu Yanming get here?
Li Zhen thought this was bad and quickly sent Lu Yanming a message, [Don't say anything, okay? It's chaotic enough!]
Hearing the sound, Lu Yanming took out his phone and saw the message. He paused mid-step.
Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
But just two seconds later, Lu Yanming headed over again.
Only now did the gossip-lovers notice Lu Yanming's presence!
Ahhhhhhh!
The male lead of the CP they shipped had arrived!
Li Zhen: ...
Don't come over! I'm scared!
Li Zhen's rejecting expression was so obvious that Lu Yanming sighed lightly in his heart and didn't say anything after all.
Carrying the insulated lunch box, he walked past the two, bumping Yu Sheng's shoulder as he went by without avoiding him.
It wasn't a light bump.
Yu Sheng staggered forward a step.
"Be careful." Li Zhen instinctively steadied Yu Sheng.
Lu Yanming's gaze fixed on where their hands and arms touched.
He stopped and said, "President Yu, if your health is so poor, why mimic others trying to play hero?"
Fei Zhao: ...
How sour, yet he says nothing!
Men always mind being called weak. Li Zhen retorted, "President Yu is injured."
Lu Yanming pulled Yu Sheng's arm from Li Zhen's hand, steadying him. "President Yu, she's your ex-wife, you should avoid impropriety."
Yu Sheng's gaze darkened, about to speak.
But Lu Yanming had already walked past the two.
However, his pants leg was suddenly grabbed by someone.
He looked down.
Lin Si was pulling him and shouting, "President Lu, stop him, President Yu wants to hit people!"
Right after Lin Si finished yelling,
Fei Zhao kicked towards Lin Si's chest.
Lin Si reeled backwards, releasing Lu Yanming's pants leg.
The crushing, shattering pain in his five viscera six bowels made Lin Si spit out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.
The people gathered at the studio door collectively gaped, their throats too frightened to make a sound.
Fei Zhao withdrew his leg, glancing arrogantly at Lin Si, "No manners, grabbing any man's pants?"
Li Zhen: ...
She felt Fei Zhao's kick might be more painful than Yu Sheng hitting with a chair.
Seeing Lin Si's half-dead state, Yu Sheng also stayed his hand.
Ren Zongshun came to his senses and secretly called emergency services.
No one had the mind to gossip anymore, all staring in shock at Lin Si on the ground.
After this incident, Li Zhen's stomach hurt even more, sweat kept pouring out ceaselessly.
Yu Sheng's brows knitted together, too familiar with this expression of hers. "Is it your period making your stomach hurt again?"
Behind the two, Lu Yanming sat down nonchalantly, the insulated lunch box he carried half placed, half flung onto the table with a "bang" sound.
Fei Zhao: ... There's no need to take it out on the lunch box, is there?
Fei Zhao was also holding a rather large insulated food carrier, placing it next to the table.
Li Zhen could barely make out what Yu Sheng was saying anymore.
Her vision went white in patches, her legs suddenly losing strength.
Yu Sheng raised a hand to steady her.
But he grasped at nothing.
At some point, Lu Yanming had stood up and elegantly swept Li Zhen into his arms bridal-style. His deep voice was casually indifferent, "It's already very rude to falsely claim someone's wife, further inappropriate touching would be too presumptuous, President Yu."
After speaking, Lu Yanming turned and left.
Yu Sheng's eyes darkened as he followed along.
Fei Zhao stood in his way, blocking Yu Sheng, "President Yu, don't force yourself, your wounds can't take more turmoil."
Having said that, Fei Zhao glanced at the dumbstruck people at the door.
What were those three called again?
Qiao Yi.
He only remembered those two characters of the name.
"Qiao Yi, I also brought food for you three in the lunch box, go ahead and eat." Fei Zhao called out, then hurriedly followed after Lu Yanming.
Yu Sheng's gaze shimmered faintly.
Qiao Yi.
Lu Yanming had likely taken Li Zhen to the hospital for Qiao Yi's sake.
She often fainted during her period before, it was nothing major and she'd recover after a short while.
Yu Sheng's phone rang at this moment. He picked up and Yu Yang immediately roared, "Bro! You went to work again! Come back quickly and change your bandages!"
"Alright." Yu Sheng wearily responded.
Yu Sheng had Zhao Yan drive to Jinlu Courtyard.
Lin Si was taken away in an ambulance.
Everyone who had just been gossiping fervently was gone.
The scene instantly exploded.
The frantic discussion didn't stop for even a second.
"I can't believe Li Zhen was once with President Yu."
"Did you guys notice earlier? President Yu who seems aloof and remote is actually a doting husband fanatic! What a contrast, I didn't expect that!"
"Was his wife, is his ex-wife now..."
"How could any woman bear to leave President Yu? If it were me, I'd die before divorcing him!"
"But what if there was another option like President Lu..."
The one who just said she couldn't bear leaving fell silent.
President Lu!
Ahhh!
That waist, those legs, incredible!
"Ahhhhh I love President Lu! I love how gentle and refined President Lu is!"
"You're just lusting after President Lu's body..."
"Hahahahaha..."
"President Lu's princess carry just now was overflowing with boyfriend vibes! So sweet!"
"I'm so envious, I'm tired of saying it. I just want Li Zhen to share President Lu's pleasurable experiences!"
"Me too! If I can't have him, hearing about it will do!"
Everyone was gossiping.
Only Zhang Xiya, Qiao Yi and Meng Yuanjie were silently opening the lunch boxes, silently eating.
They had always adapted quickly. They had already recovered from the bombshell gossip that Li Zhen and President Yu were once married.
What they worried about now was if this marriage being dug up would really incur massive breach of contract penalties.
Unable to pay meant jail time.
After a long while, Meng Yuanjie finally spoke up, "I've saved about 200,000 over the years, but I can ask my dad and uncle for more, lying it's to buy a car. I estimate getting another 40-50,000 from them."
"I usually live paycheck to paycheck, with no savings, but my mom has 300,000 set aside for my dowry. I'll first have my mom give it to me." Zhang Xiya didn't look too worried.
She figured, at worst it was just losing money and changing jobs.
Little Li Zhen didn't like this job to begin with.
Meng Yuanjie exclaimed, "Tricking your dowry out, your mom would break your legs!"
"I didn't plan on marrying anyway, doesn't matter." Zhang Xiya shrugged.
Qiao Yi stayed silent.
She quietly calculated that if Li Zhen really had to pay breach of contract damages, she would sell the apartment.
If not for Li Zhen's risky candid shots, she wouldn't have gotten that apartment in the first place.
