Chapter 47: Chapter 47: No Next Time Chapter 47: Chapter 47: No Next Time Li Qiao glanced at him lazily, “No, uncle is too busy managing affairs, he definitely won’t meddle in trivial matters!”
Duan Yuanhui shook his head with a wry smile as he let his hand fall, eyeing Li Qiao, “Tell uncle the truth, was the forum post your doing?”
“Oh…” Li Qiao answered earnestly: “It was Li Shaoquan’s work.”
He shook his head with a light sigh and reminded her, “Last week I was out of town at a teaching research conference and could only ask a colleague from the academic affairs office to lock the post remotely.
Next time something happens, don’t deal with it yourself, remember to tell me immediately.”
Li Qiao looked down at her own toes, her expression very indifferent, “There won’t be a next time.”
“Alright then, you go in first.
Her husband has arrived at the door, I’m going to meet him.”
About five minutes later, Duan Yuanhui returned to the academic affairs office with a tall man in tow.
The man was over thirty, not particularly handsome, but he had fair skin with dreamy, watery eyes that exuded flirtation.
“Husband, you, why are you here?”
Upon seeing him, Lu Wen immediately stood up, looking somewhat nervous.
The man, named Chen Lizhou, had a grim expression on his face.
He gritted his teeth and asked with disdain, “Look at the mess you’ve made.
Do you think you can carry on any way you like at school?”
Lu Wen’s face turned ashen, her previous boldness gone as she stammered, “Wasn’t it because you cheated first!”
“Get the situation straight first.
You live off me, so what right does a parasite like you have to meddle in my affairs?”
Chen Lizhou did not mince words as he cursed her out, seeing Lu Wen, who depended on the Chen family for her livelihood, as no more than a leech wearing the title of wife.
At that moment, Jiang Yi, sitting to the side, could barely contain her glee, as if she foresaw her imminent triumphant replacement.
Chen Lizhou pointed at Lu Wen’s nose and cursed her for a couple more sentences.
Then he took a breath and turned his gaze toward Jiang Yi.
“Did you engineer all this?”
Jiang Yi’s face froze in shock, and she put on a pretentious denial, shaking her head, “Not me, what are you talking about, I don’t understan…
No one expected Chen Lizhou to lay a hand on Jiang Yi.
He stepped forward swiftly and backhanded her across the face, cursing with utmost disgust, “You really are cheap.
What did you promise me when I was keeping you?
It hasn’t even been a year, and you dare go behind my back and pull stunts, Jiang Yi, have I given you too much face?”
Chen Lizhou bluntly revealed the kept and keeper relationship between the two of them.
Jiang Yi, covering her face, collapsed onto the armrest of the sofa, panic-stricken and at a loss.
When she had done these things back then, Chen Lizhou was in on it.
He himself had said he was tired of Lu Wen, which is why they schemed this plot together.
Firstly, she could splash the dirty water of being the third party onto Li Qiao so she couldn’t graduate smoothly, which would in turn pass the guaranteed spot for the research institute to her, Jiang Yi.
Secondly, it would also cause Lu Wen, acting impulsively without considering the consequences, to lose her title as the young mistress of the Chen family, and then it would be Jiang Yi’s turn to step in – killing two birds with one stone, wasn’t it?!
But why had Chen Lizhou suddenly turned against her, insisting it was her fault?
Jiang Yi started to cry helplessly, her mind a whirl of confusion, while Lu Wen, although feeling vindicated, dared not speak out rashly again.
At this point, Duan Yunhui looked at Chen Lizhou with dissatisfaction; hitting a woman was a serious loss of decorum.
But before he could speak up to warn him, Chen Lizhou calmed down for a few seconds, then turned his steps toward Li Qiao.
