Old Master Xia chuckled and said, "It's normal. After all, he was taught by Lin'er. Lin Cai does have a talent for business, and he has a good relationship with the kid from the Leng family. If Lin'er can trust him, how can I not trust him?"

"But he is not wrong. Xia Jiye seems to be fed up with him. You should arrange more people to protect Lin Cai. I am worried that Xia Jiye will become desperate and attack Lin Cai." Xia Wenxuan said worriedly.

"Yes," Secretary Luo agreed, but he also looked down on Xia Jiye. First, Xia Jiye had no gratitude at all. The Xia family had been kind to him, yet he was obsessed with plotting against them. Second, he was completely incompetent. If he had been truly capable, there wouldn't be so few people willing to support him in his rise to power.

"You can send out an announcement and say that if Lin Cai can sign a cooperation agreement with Leng Group, he will take over my job and become the acting president. One year later, if everyone has no objection, he will officially take over." Xia Wenxuan looked at Secretary Luo and said.

Secretary Luo nodded, "Okay, President."

"There is also an auction tonight. Ask Lin Cai if he is interested in going with me to buy some jewelry for An An." Xia Wenxuan instructed.

"Okay, President." Secretary Luo agreed and turned to leave the office.

At this time, Liu Wen started throwing things as soon as he returned home. He never thought that the punishment would be so severe.

He originally thought that he had bribed the connections and could minimize the damage, but he didn't expect that those who had previously promised to help would go back on their word, return the money to him, and say that everything would be done according to the rules.

Liu Wen sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

Suddenly, he heard someone say that he was punished like this because he had offended someone.

But he had been so cautious in the past year that it was impossible for him to offend anyone! At this moment, he saw his wife coming down from upstairs, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"Have you offended anyone these days?" Liu Wen asked his wife, staring at her.

Liu Wen looked at her husband's gloomy face and felt a surge of fear in her heart. She quickly shook her head and denied it, "I didn't offend anyone! I haven't even left the house these past two days. You know that."

The husband sneered and continued to ask, "Yeah, you always liked to go out, why have you suddenly become so quiet these past two days? And didn't you say before that you joined a group of wealthy women and wanted to help me find connections? Have you found any yet?"

Liu Wen's eyes dodged, not daring to meet his gaze, and he stammered, "This...that..."

In fact, the reason why she stayed indoors for the past two days was because she got into trouble in that so-called group of wealthy ladies.

She was able to join that group only by paying off one of the ladies.

However, when the other wives learned her true identity, they ignored her.

She was kicked out of the group by the group owner just because she made a few extra comments about Mrs. Leng.

Now, she can no longer enter the group, and even the lady who took her money has returned the money and said she will cut off all contact with her from now on.

Mrs. Leng rarely speaks on weekdays and seems quite low-key.

She originally thought that Mrs. Leng was just an ordinary wealthy lady. Judging from her circle of friends, she had neither high-end luxury bags nor other things to show off her wealth, nor did she have any other special features, so she mistakenly believed that she was just an ordinary person.

Therefore, she dared to seek a sense of existence so presumptuously and speak wildly.

If she had known that Mrs. Leng was no ordinary person, she would never have dared to speak nonsense so recklessly.

Liu Wen stared at her guilty look, and he already understood everything. He no longer asked the reason, but directly snatched her phone and quickly entered the password.

However, when he checked, he found that the group that was originally pinned had disappeared and could not be found.

"What happened? Why did the ladies' group disappear? Were you kicked out of the group? What did you do?" Liu Wen slammed his phone on the table, stared at her with sharp eyes, and asked harshly.

“I… I just saw a cold lady posting flowers from her daughter-in-law, and I casually said a few words about marrying a wife of equal status. I didn’t expect her to go to the group owner and ask him to kick me out of the group or leave the group herself.

Later, the group owner really kicked me out." Mrs. Liu lowered her head and looked at her husband with some fear. She had guessed that her husband would be very angry, but she still didn't dare to hide the truth.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen's face turned blue with anger. He stood up abruptly and slapped Mrs. Liu hard: "What qualifications do you have to meddle in other people's affairs? Who do you think you are? Don't you know what kind of person you are? How dare you point fingers at others!"

Mrs. Liu covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, not daring to speak. She knew she was in trouble this time, and it was a big one.

Liu Wen panted and continued to curse, "Do you know that Mrs. Leng might be related to the Leng family? Even Mrs. Zhang has to listen to her. Do you think our Liu family can afford to offend her? Now, because of you, my company is going bankrupt! Are you satisfied? From now on, our whole family will have nothing to lose!"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help crying when she heard this. She regretted it so much that she should not have said so much.

"I shouldn't have been with you in the first place. If it were Xiaoyu, she would never have done this to me. She wouldn't have ended up like you, accomplishing nothing and ruining my reputation." Liu Wen frowned and said with regret.

He remembered that he had forced his wife to commit suicide due to depression, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.

Ever since he married his current wife, his business has been bad. He feels that this woman is a jinx who has brought him endless troubles.

Mrs. Liu covered her face which was hurt by the beating, tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't help laughing.

There was a hint of sarcasm and helplessness in the laughter, as if mocking Liu Wen's stupidity and selfishness.

She looked at Liu Wen and said firmly, "Do you regret it? Do you regret being with me? It was you who pursued me because you disliked my sister's yellow-faced woman, not me who was so shameless as to follow you."

Mrs. Liu's voice trembled a little as she recalled Liu Wen's pursuit of her. At that time, she was young, beautiful, full of energy and vigor.

Liu Wen is a successful businessman with unlimited charm and wealth. Their love story was once envied by everyone, but now it has become a joke.

After hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Liu Wen's face became even gloomier.

He couldn't refute her words because it was the truth. He had abandoned his wife for the younger and prettier Mrs. Liu, but now he was regretting his decision.
