Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Li Xun was not in a position to speak.

Lu Qing quickly replied, "I understand."

The other party hung up immediately. Lu Qing clutched her chest, her heart pounding. She knew Li Xun was reminding her to wait near the post office.

She rushed into the bathroom, took a shower, and then went home to change into clean clothes and put on makeup.

Her current home is a house that Li Xun bought, but it's registered in her name.

This was the place she and Li Xun often went on dates. Going to hotels was just a temporary getaway, but she loved going to hotels because no matter how dirty they got, she didn't have to clean up.

Lu Qing used her interactions with those wealthy women to help Li Xun find out about their husbands, which earned her Li Xun's favor.

Li Xun would also guide her, leading her to intentionally or unintentionally come into contact with more wealthy women. The two were more like partners than lovers.

Lu Qing had enjoyed several months of good times and now didn't want to go back to hardship. She felt depressed and kept thinking about what she would do if Li Xun broke up with her. To her, it would be like the sky falling down.

After getting ready, she rushed out the door and headed to the post office. She didn't eat or drink anything all day, but she didn't notice anything amiss. All she wanted was to see Li Xun as soon as possible.

However, when she arrived near the post office, she did not see Li Xun. She glanced around and found a guesthouse nearby, so she immediately headed towards it.

In the past, she and Li Xun would meet until dark, so she wanted to wait until dark before going out to find Li Xun.

At this moment, Li Xun is working at his workstation. He does not yet have his own office and shares an office with two colleagues.

As it was time to leave work, he got up, packed his things, and quickly left.

Two other colleagues followed him out. The three parted ways at the entrance of the company. Li Xun rode his bicycle slowly toward the vegetable market.

In many people's eyes, Li Xun is a model husband because he has been doing the housework for more than ten years.

Today was no surprise; he went straight to the market, which is quite normal for him. He takes the same route almost every afternoon to buy groceries and then go home to cook.

However, today he detoured to a guesthouse near the post office before going to the vegetable market.

As soon as Lu Qing reached the door, she saw Li Xun walking towards her. The two exchanged a glance, and Lu Qing turned around without making a sound, quickly walking towards her room.

Li Xun booked a room and took the key to the room, but he didn't go to the room he booked himself, but went to Lu Qing's room instead.

As soon as she closed the door, Lu Qing couldn't help but hug Li Xun's neck and said softly, "Why haven't you contacted me for so long? I've been missing you for ages."

Li Xun slipped his hand under her skirt, kneading it as he whispered, "Someone reported us. My wife, the tigress, found out. I've been keeping a mistress, but I haven't come looking for you because I was afraid she'd be watching me."

"If she finds you, she'll definitely deal with you. Her father is a high-ranking military officer, someone I can't afford to offend."

Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Where was our affair reported to?"

Li Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Someone took a picture of the two of us and mailed it to my house, addressed to my tigress."

Lu Qing's pupils contracted slightly as Li Xun continued, "The photo was very clear, but it didn't capture your face, only mine. That's why the tigress didn't come looking for you; she didn't know your identity."

"Don't worry, I will protect you, it just takes some time."

"Her dad's health isn't good lately. He can only last two or three years at most. After he dies, I'll dump her and marry you."

Lu Qing leaned on Li Xun's shoulder, her face expressionless, her heart icy cold.

Because she knew that men's words were the least trustworthy. No matter how sweet their words were, they could turn their backs on her afterward, just like Director Tang had done to her before.

That's why she didn't trust people's hearts. She just gave Li Xun an excited smile and kissed him on the cheek.

"Honey, I knew you were the best to me."

Lu Qing's voice was so sweet and cloying that it sent a shiver down Li Xun's spine.

He suppressed the pounding in his heart and quickly pushed Lu Qing away, saying, "We can't see each other for now. Just hang in there for a month. After a month, the tigress's anger will subside, and she'll be less controlling of me. Then I'll come find you. Don't tell anyone about us."

Lu Qing nodded hastily, but inwardly she sneered, thinking, "Isn't this just a gigolo?"

He's afraid of his wife and father-in-law, he wants an official position, a family, and a mistress, but now he can only make her suffer.

Besides, what was she saying to others? She didn't even know the man's name.

Li Xun groped her all over for a while before calming himself down, then pushed open the door and strode out.

He told the receptionist, "I suddenly remembered something urgent and I need to leave quickly. Please check out of the room."

The receptionist was a little dissatisfied, but didn't say much. She quickly checked out of the room, and Li Xun hurriedly left. Lu Qing watched him leave the guesthouse expressionlessly, then simply locked the door and went to sleep.

However, neither of them knew that their actions had already been observed by others.

That very evening, Zhao Junchen learned that it was indeed true that Li Xun was keeping a mistress, and the woman he was having an affair with was named Lu Qing. They even found out Lu Qing's exact background.

After dinner, Zhao Junchen told Zhao Dayong about it. Zhao Dayong was so angry that he smashed a tea set.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Junchen said, "Li Xun must think he's all grown up now and doesn't care about the Zhao family anymore. Why don't we start by targeting his position?"

"But we can't let him affect Jihai and Xiaoqi."

Zhao Dayong said with a grim expression, "You make the arrangements, just don't let this bastard get away with it."

"Old Li hasn't been feeling well lately, so we've stopped taking care of him. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be able to sit comfortably in this position for so many years."

"He doesn't even know who gave him everything he has now, yet he dares to betray my daughter."

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing coldly. Zhao Junchen naturally understood his father's thoughts and therefore had no intention of showing mercy.

Two days later, Li Xun was suspended from his post without pay for delaying the distribution of military supplies.

The key point is that the task of distributing military supplies was not Li Xun's responsibility, so it was just a fabricated charge, merely an excuse to send him home.

When Li Xun received the news, he was a little stunned. He immediately went to his superior to confirm whether the news was true.

However, his boss was in a meeting, and he went to find no one there.
