Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 71 How to Win Over Your Husband's Nemesis (6)

Gu Zhaoting never inquired about Qi Ning's whereabouts and never paid attention to where she went, regardless of what banquet she attended or who she was in contact with.

"Just a coincidence," Cheng Yin replied.

Gu Zhaoting didn't seem to care much. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's almost time. I have to go talk to someone, so I won't chat with you anymore."

"Alright, alright, go ahead and get busy," Qin Feng said quickly.

Gu Zhaoting quickly left with his men.

Once it was just the two of them, Qin Feng finally asked, "Did you go to the hospital today?"

"Yes, look at my grandma."

"Grandma's in the hospital. Is it serious? Jiamin and I will go see her tomorrow."

"No need, it's just a minor issue. I'll be discharged tomorrow."

"That's good." Qin Feng nodded and refilled Cheng Yin's glass.

"You saw Qi Ning go to the hospital, what happened to her?"

"How would I know?" Cheng Yin said nonchalantly. "Even her husband doesn't know about her situation."

Qin Feng seemed to recall the woman Gu Zhaoting had brought earlier.

He coughed and said, "Sigh, Zhao Ting is indeed like that... He didn't even know his wife was sick. But he's always been like this. He has many women around him, and Qi Ning should know that too. It's normal for their marriage to be like this."

Cheng Yin smiled but offered no comment.

After finishing his business that night, Gu Zhaoting originally did not plan to return to his and Qi Ning's marital home. He had other residences outside and rarely went back, where Qi Ning usually lived alone.

But remembering that Cheng Yin had said he met her at the hospital that day, Gu Zhaoting had a rare moment of conscience and drove back.

When he got home, Qi Ning was curled up on the sofa watching TV by himself.

Seeing that he had gone back, she only glanced at him, said nothing, and returned her gaze to the TV screen, as if he didn't exist.

Gu Zhaoting stood in the living room for a few seconds before speaking: "I heard you went to the hospital today?"

Qi Ning hugged the pillow and only responded after a long while.

"Are you okay?"

"He won't die anytime soon, so there's no need for President Gu to worry about him."

Qi Ning seemed annoyed by the questions, so she threw down those words, got up, and left, not even bothering to watch TV before going upstairs.

Gu Zhaoting clearly realized that he was being disliked.

However, seeing Qi Ning climbing the stairs with such ease, he knew she was really alright and didn't need him to worry about her.

Of course, he wasn't worried or concerned; he was just offering a greeting out of consideration for their marital relationship.

Three days later, Lin Jiamin sent word that she was going to hold a welcome party for Wu Sina, and the venue was a bar.

The people invited included Lin Jiamin's friends and Qin Feng's friends, most of whom knew Wu Sina, totaling more than a dozen people.

Qi Ning and Gu Zhaoting were naturally included in the invitation.

Gu Zhaoting happened to be free that day, so he agreed to Qin Feng's request and went to participate with Qi Ning.

As for Cheng Yin, he was completely coaxed and deceived by Qin Feng.

When they arrived at the bar, he was seated next to Wu Sina.

Lin Jiamin was secretly trying to bring the two together.

Cheng Yin finally understood why the name Wu Sina sounded familiar when Qin Feng mentioned it to him last time; it turned out that his mother had also mentioned it to him before.

Cheng Yin didn't feel anything for Wu Sina, so he didn't say much or respond much.

The only reason he didn't turn on Qin Feng and leave was to save face for him.

On the contrary, Wu Sina, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, became very interested in Cheng Yin after meeting him and kept trying to strike up a conversation with him.

"My mom said that she seems to know your mother."

Cheng Yin casually replied, "I think so."

Wu Sina pressed on: "I heard from Jiamin that you also studied abroad. When I was in England..."

Cheng Yin interrupted her: "I went to America."

He looked up listlessly and saw Qi Ning sitting opposite him, looking at Wu Sina beside him.

Cheng Yin looked up and their eyes met.

Qi Ning quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

She was indeed observing Wu Sina just now.

In the original storyline, Cheng Yin appears as a villain, and every time he appears, it is because he has a business dispute with Gu Zhaoting.

Apart from that, the original storyline rarely describes Cheng Yin in other aspects, and even less so in terms of his romantic relationships.

Therefore, Qi Ning took notice of Wu Sina, who didn't have much screen time in the original storyline.

However, Qi Ning only glanced at it a few times and didn't pay much attention to it.

Cheng Yin didn't seem interested in her.

Since it didn't affect her strategy, she naturally didn't care much about it.

Qi Ning knew Cheng Yin was watching her, so she poured a glass of wine for Gu Zhaoting beside her in front of him and whispered a few words to him.

Outsiders couldn't hear what they were saying, but the young couple seemed quite intimate.

However, this situation did not last long, and Gu Zhaoting received another call from Ye Yunyi.

He glanced at his phone for a couple of seconds, then got up and went outside to answer the call.

Ye Yunyi's cautious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gu Zhaoting, I've gotten into some trouble at the club. Could... could you please help me out?"

After listening to her explanation, Gu Zhaoting learned that she had been targeted by a man at the club. He insisted that she accompany him for drinks and tried to grope her. Ye Yunyi refused, offending the customer, and was now in an awkward situation. She had no other choice but to ask Gu Zhaoting for help.

After listening, Gu Zhaoting gave a lukewarm response, indicating his agreement.

He hung up the phone and went back into the private room, but instead of sitting down, he picked up his coat from the sofa and said to Qin Feng, "I have something to do, I'll leave first, you guys have fun."

"You're leaving already?" Qin Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Gu Zhaoting hummed in agreement.

As for his wife, Qi Ning, he completely forgot to tell her.

Qi Ning took the initiative to ask, "Is there something you need me to go with you?"

Gu Zhaoting then glanced at her and said, "It's not a family matter, you don't need to go. Just stay here and play with everyone."

After saying that, he took his coat and left the private room.

The private room fell silent at some point, and everyone subconsciously glanced at Qi Ning.

Qin Feng clapped his hands and said, "Zhaoting Company had to leave due to some urgent matters. It's alright, everyone, please continue."

The private room quickly returned to its lively atmosphere.

Lin Jiamin quietly moved from Wu Sina's side to Qi Ning's side.

"Ningning, are you alright?" she asked in a low voice.

Although the outside world doesn't know much about the relationship between Gu Zhaoting and Qi Ning, they assume they are as loving as they appear.

But Lin Jiamin and Qin Feng were different; they knew the inside story.

Lin Jiamin heard Qi Ning complain about her before, while Qin Feng saw Gu Zhaoting with too many other women around him.

In reality, the relationship between this couple is probably no better than that of strangers.

But Lin Jiamin knew that Qi Ning still cared about her husband, Gu Zhaoting.

Gu Zhaoting suddenly answered a phone call and left. Although he said it was an urgent matter at the company, it was obviously just an excuse.

Most likely, he's out meeting some other woman again.
