Chapter 113: The Great Idea You Came Up With!

Liu Rui waited until Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu had gone upstairs before preparing to handle the next matter.

First, he cleared out the irrelevant personnel: "Su Ying, aren't you off work? Go home, it's very late."

"Yes, Assistant Liu, I'll leave right away!"

Su Ying vaguely sensed that Zhao Xiaole was about to get into trouble. She had no interest in watching the drama and quickly grabbed her bag to leave.

She had tried several times to remind Zhao Xiaole, but the other woman refused to listen and insisted on provoking her.

It's up to her now!

Thus, Zhao Xiaole was left behind, her eyes still staring blankly at the direction of the elevator, filled with despair and disbelief.

Liu Rui understood: "Zhao Xiaole!"

"Liu, Assistant Liu."

Zhao Xiaole was deeply shaken, her eyes lifeless, her shoulders drooping on both sides.

Liu Rui had no intention of showing sympathy for her. He deliberately said, "Zhao Xiaole, you saw it too, right? Mr. Yu is very devoted to his wife. With just one phone call from the wife, Mr. Yu immediately drops his work to come find her."

"The wife is beautiful, and Mr. Yu is so devoted. Do you think a good man and a good husband like him would ever look at another woman?"

Zhao Xiaole's secret feelings were exposed, her face turning ashen.

"Assistant Liu, I..."

"Oh, don't be nervous, I was just making a comment."

Liu Rui felt the timing was about right and paused for a moment before beginning to settle the mess Zhao Xiaole had caused earlier.

"I heard you just blocked the wife from going upstairs? Why did you do that?"

Zhao Xiaole panicked.

"Assistant Liu, let me explain!"

Liu Rui nodded and smiled: "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Let's see how you try to defend yourself!

"Assistant Liu, it's like this..." Zhao Xiaole hurriedly searched for a suitable excuse.

She wasn't stupid; she knew why Assistant Liu had come to confront her.

Because the man she had admired for three years hadn't given her a second thought!

"Eat cake?"

Yu Zhili offered a strawberry cake, but Fu Yining looked away.

"Not eating, I'm full of anger!"

"Calm down, Liu Rui is already handling it."

If he had known this would happen, Yu Zhili wouldn’t have let her go downstairs alone.

"Ningning, try a bite. They say eating something sweet can improve your mood."

"Who told you that?" Fu Yining was curious but accepted his offering nonetheless.

Yu ZhiLi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Fu Yining was finally eating.

"Go back to work; you don’t need to worry about me."

"Alright, I'll be right here. Let me know if you need anything."

"Mm!"

Back at his desk, Yu ZhiLi watched Fu Yining lounging on the sofa, nibbling on the soft little cake and deep in thought.

Her anger wasn’t because Zhao Xiaole stopped her, but because of the look she gave when mentioning Yu ZhiLi.

Don’t think I didn’t notice—she likes Yu ZhiLi too. Isn’t it too much to covet my husband right in front of me?

Just because I don’t go out much doesn’t mean I’m dead!

Angry!

Irrationally angry!

Fu Yining bit into the small cake viciously, as if it were her enemy.

If Zhong Qi saw this, she’d probably say I’m ruining good food.

"Mr. Yu?"

"Mm?"

Fu Yining put down the half-eaten cake in her hand and asked, "Are you working overtime tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"The day after tomorrow?"

"Yes."

The perceptive Mr. Yu guessed her thoughts and volunteered, "Just these last two days. Would you like to come over in the afternoon, Ningning?"

"Yes!"

Realizing her tone might have sounded too eager, Fu Yining quickly added, "Don’t misunderstand. I just think you seem a bit pitiful, so I’ll bring you some dinner."

"Thank you, dear!"

Yu ZhiLi’s eyes and smile radiated an inner joy that couldn’t be concealed.

Fu Yining glanced at him, then quietly lowered her eyelids and touched her flushed face.

Why is he suddenly so happy?

"It’s so late, no more drinks—I should head home!"

-

Hearing Yu Mingze's words, everyone looked up at the clock on the wall and collectively wore expressions of disbelief.

"Come on, seriously? It's only 9 o'clock and you're going home?"

"What's going on, is your wife that strict with you?"

Yu Mingze shook his head. "No, it's because my parents are home!"

If I go back too late and they smell alcohol on me, they might team up on me.

One person asked confusedly, "Wait, didn't I remember your dad rarely comes home?"

"That was before," Yu Mingze stood up and patted his clothes. "I'm heading out, you all keep having fun. Let's get together again when we have time!"

"Okay, okay, you've got a family to take care of, get going!"

As soon as Yu Mingze left, Lu Yan suddenly stood up from his seat and raised his glass towards the others. "Everyone, the plan is coming along nicely!"

"Plan? What plan?" Lu Qixing was also there, leaning on the armrest of the sofa with full confusion in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan smiled. "Remember when we talked about testing the sincerity of that Zheng girl who's always around Yu Mingze?"

Lu Qixing's hand holding the glass trembled slightly. "Dude, did we actually go through with it?"

"Of course!"

In Lu Yan's dictionary, there's no such thing as "just talking."

If you talk about it, you follow through!

"Didn't someone say she was head over heels for Yu Mingze? I've already found out she revealed her true colors with just a little probing."

"It wasn't me who said that."

Lu Qixing waved his hand and then suddenly realized, "What? She fell for it so quickly?"

"Yes! It was so easy!" Lu Yan's face had lost all traces of a smile, replaced by mockery and disdain for Zheng Anran.

"I'm planning to tell Yu Mingze in a few days and let him see this woman's true colors clearly!"

"Aren't you afraid Yu Mingze will come after you for this?"

Lu Yan shrugged. "Let him come. We’re doing this to help him. If that woman had any real feelings for him, how could she be swayed by someone I sent?"

"If Yu Mingze decides to break ties with me in the future, I'll accept it. I can't just stand by and watch him be deceived by a woman like her!"

"Well said, dude, I support you!"

Everyone knew that Lu Yan had experienced something similar before, so he couldn't stand women who played around with multiple men.

Now that one of their friends was in trouble, how could they just sit back and do nothing?

"Thanks, everyone!"

Lu Yan walked over and raised his glass to clink with Lu Qixing.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Qixing sighed. "I'm thinking... that Zheng Anran woman is really something. She already has Yu Mingze, how dare she look for other men? Doesn’t she know we have eyes and ears all over this city?"

"The trouble-making team is online!"
