Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 288 The Unlucky Assistant in the Overlord's World 18

However, for the meager salary of less than 8,000 yuan a month, the young assistant still decided to make a final effort.

First, he picked up his phone and dialed the number of the former young lady, but what came from the other end of the phone was a cold and ruthless prompt tone: "The user you dialed has been powered off, please call again later..." This undoubtedly poured cold water on his heart.

Then, he thought he could find some clues by checking the bank statements, so he rushed to the bank and asked the staff to help investigate the flow of funds in the relevant accounts.

After an anxious wait, he was greatly disappointed by the result - as early as a month ago, all the money in the account had been quietly transferred overseas, and because it involved cross-border operations, no useful information could be found in the country.

With no financial resources to pursue, he turned his attention to the former young lady's family. Hoping for a glimmer of hope, he began to inquire about her relatives' whereabouts. However, his efforts proved to be futile. After much searching, he learned that her family members had all passed away years ago, effectively ending this seemingly viable avenue of recourse.

Finally, he also tried to get some valuable information from the former young lady's colleagues in the company. But to his dismay, those employees had always sided with Leng Hui, bullying the nominal president's wife in every possible way. Naturally, there were no colleagues who were close to her and could provide help.

In this way, all possible avenues seemed to have been blocked, and he could only report to Leng Hui that he had not found any information. As expected, this job that lasted less than a month was canceled again.

At this time, a recruitment information from Su Xia Group popped up on the assistant's mobile phone. Not only did it offer rich company benefits, it also stated that employees' wages would not be deducted randomly, as well as Chairman Su Xia's confession. He submitted his resume with the intention of giving it a try. In less than an hour, he was notified to come for an interview the next day. This comforted the assistant's wounded heart.

But Leng Hui did not give up looking for Ji Ying. Since he could not find her, he went to the police station to report her missing. But he overlooked one thing: Ji Ying had divorced him, so Leng Hui could not report her to the police as a family member.

When the police officer heard that the man was looking for his ex-wife, he asked him as usual, "How long has your ex-wife been missing? Why didn't her family come to report the case?"

"She has no family except me," Leng Hui said firmly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Leng. According to the information you provided, your ex-wife has authorized a lawyer to divorce you today. This is enough to prove that she is not missing, but just doesn't want to see you..."

Before the police officer could finish his words, he was punched by the man who suddenly jumped up from the opposite side. Fortunately, his colleagues pulled him away. However, even so, Leng Hui was convicted of assaulting a police officer and was detained for three days before being released on bail by the company's lawyer.

After leaving the police station, the man was still restless. He began to look for Ji Ying in various places where she might appear. He ignored all the company's affairs and even asked Leng's father to temporarily take over the position of general manager to help him deal with the accumulated problems of the Leng family.

When Su Lan saw the crazy man on the screen, her expression became serious. She didn't dare to let her guard down against this man with a criminal record, so she asked Tuanzi to keep an eye on his actions 24 hours a day, and asked Jin Ling to keep an eye on Song Yichuan.

The unfortunate first couple even went abroad to ask Jesus for help, so Su Lan was not in a hurry to deal with the gradually losing Xie family.

On this day, as Wen Fuyao's acupuncture skills greatly improved Gu Zeyan's physical condition, he also began to have some true feelings for his village wife, so he took her to a charity dinner and prepared to publicly announce her identity as the wife of the president of Gu Group.

But the heroine of this face-slapping novel always does things unexpectedly. When she arrived at the scene wearing the high-end dress prepared by her husband, she did not sit next to the man. Instead, she walked to the family table and sat next to her sister Wen Xiner, allowing her grandmother and sister to make fun of her.

When Gu Zeyan found something wrong, he wanted to persuade her to come back, but the host had already invited the cellist Lin Qian who was performing tonight to the stage, so he could only wait until the performance was over.

But what the man didn't expect was that after the song was over, Lin Qian said that he met an acquaintance and wanted to invite her to perform on stage. The other party was his newlywed wife who had a flash marriage less than a month ago.

The heroine's family was all stunned. How did a country girl like her learn music? And how could she even perform on the same stage with internationally renowned artists?

"Thank you everyone," Wen Fuyao said after finishing the performance. He returned the cello in his hand to his senior brother and said to him, "Third senior brother, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to meet you here."

It turns out that Lin Qian was also one of the orphans adopted by Taoist Liping. He was proficient in music since childhood. After he grew up, he worked part-time to support himself and was admitted to a foreign music college, and step by step he became a dazzling new star.

"When did you come down the mountain, little junior sister? Master is willing to let you venture out alone, hahahaha." Lin Qian held the cello with one hand and hugged his junior sister whom he had not seen for a long time with the other hand.

Wen Xin'er stood aside, her gaze fixed on the two people engaged in a passionate conversation, her anger instantly ignited. She, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, should have been the center of attention, the one who should have been the center of attention! How could it be that lowly peasant? The more she thought about it, the more furious she became.

Even though her grandmother tried to persuade her not to act impulsively, Wen Xin was not willing to listen to a word she said at this moment.

She strode forward angrily, walked right up to the hostess, and said sarcastically, "Oh, look at how warm they are! It seems Master Lin and my sister have a very close relationship! But I must remind you, my sister is already married, so it's better for you two to keep a proper distance, don't you agree, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Yanze, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, heard this and his expression instantly darkened. His brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed, revealing a chill. Then, he strode towards them, clearly intending to step forward and protect his wife.

However, the stubborn and single-minded heroine completely misunderstood his intentions, thinking that Gu Yanze was coming to forcibly take her away. Instinctively, she quickly dodged to the side and hid behind Senior Brother Lin's broad back.

The heroine, who had been hiding behind Senior Brother Lin, poked half her head out and shouted at Gu Yanze confidently, "Senior Brother and I are as close as family. What's wrong with just chatting about some family matters?"

"Hmph, Gu Yanze, you have two choices now. Either believe the nonsense she said, or believe what I said. Which one do you choose?"

Faced with this situation, Gu Yanze's expression became increasingly stern. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner dissatisfaction, and responded in a calm tone, "Of course I believe you, but wife, can you please get out from behind that other man first?"

As he spoke, he waved gently at the heroine as if calling a cute little kitten.

"Junior Sister, you're getting married? When did this happen? None of us have received any news at all!" Lin Qian turned around in surprise, his eyes fixed on Wen Fuyao. He then pointed at Gu Yanze standing beside him and asked doubtfully, "Is this your husband?"

Hearing this, Wen Fuyao nodded quickly like a frightened little rabbit, but her body was still hidden tightly behind Lin Qian, with no intention of coming out.

At this moment, Gu Yanze, who had been silent all this time, had a face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it. His icy eyes made the air around him seem to freeze.

Wen Xin'er saw this perfect opportunity and immediately started to exaggerate, saying, "Oh my, Mr. Gu, what did you do to my sister? She's so scared that she's hiding behind others and dares not show up! Could it be..." At this point, Wen Xin'er deliberately paused, with a malicious smile on her face.

Then, she turned her attention to Wen Fuyao, scolding her harshly, "And you, Wen Fuyao, you're the second daughter of our Wen family. Can you be more restrained in public? Don't pounce on a man like a hungry wolf, completely disregarding your husband's dignity! Do you still want to maintain the dignity of our Wen family?"

Wen Xiner acted like a wealthy elder sister who was only concerned about her younger sister. This action not only attracted the attention of many guests, but also triggered heated resonance and discussion among them.

After all, among these aristocratic families, who doesn’t have a few younger brothers and sisters who are a source of headaches and worries?
