After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Zhu Yao nodded, "Don't worry, I know who's good and who's bad. I won't pay any more attention to Shen Qingzhu from now on."

At this moment, Shen Qingzhu finally waited at home for her husband, Lin Zhihong, to return home.

Before Lin Zhihong could even put down his briefcase, she followed behind him and complained, "I'm so angry with your son today. He's actually siding with Qiao Ran. I think his behavior is getting more and more outrageous."

Having not heard from Qiao Ran for a long time, Lin Zhihong found it strange. "Why is Meng Chuan biased towards Qiao Ran?"

Shen Qingzhu distorted the facts, saying, "Today I took Lin Fei to Sunshine City to buy things for her maternity leave, but I didn't expect to run into Qiao Ran. When she saw me, she didn't even greet me; her attitude was incredibly arrogant."

“I was so angry that I went to complain to your son, but he didn’t say anything after listening.”

Lin Zhihong digested Shen Qingzhu's information and shared his insights:

"Qiao Ran has already divorced Meng Chuan, and the divorce was unpleasant. It's normal that she doesn't want to greet you, right? It's also possible that she doesn't want to see Lin Fei."

"And another thing, for such a small matter, you even went to the company to find Meng Chuan. Putting aside the fact that he's busy with work, what does this have to do with him? What kind of statement do you want him to make?"

Seeing her husband's attitude, Shen Qingzhu became even angrier. "So, you're saying I'm being unreasonable?"

Lin Zhihong sighed, "You know yourself that you're just being unreasonable. I think it's right that Qiao Ran didn't greet you. Even if she had, you would still have found fault with her."

Shen Qingzhu glared at him, huffing, "Lin Zhihong, are you my husband or Qiao Ran's husband?"

Lin Zhihong sighed helplessly, "Look at you, that's just how you are. You always like to find fault with others, but don't you have any problems yourself?"

Shen Qingzhu raised her voice, "What's wrong with me? Am I as ill-mannered as her, not even greeting acquaintances? Does she even remember I'm her ex-mother-in-law?"

"Speaking of which, she's been living and eating for free in our Lin family for two years. Shouldn't she have a little bit of gratitude?"

"Who are you calling a freeloader?" The old lady came over upon hearing the voice and asked Shen Qingzhu with a cold face.

Shen Qingzhu was slightly taken aback. "Mom, I'm talking to Zhihong. Please don't interfere."

Xu Ying insisted on interfering, "Who are you talking about who's been eating and living in our house for free for two years? Are you referring to Qiao Ran?"

Shen Qingzhu pursed her lips. "That's right, I'm talking about Qiao Ran. I saw her at Sunshine City today, and she didn't even say hello."

Xu Ying sneered, "That's right, I didn't greet you either. If it were me, I wouldn't have said hello either."

Shen Qingzhu: "..."

As Xu Ying sat down, she continued, "Qiao Ran hasn't been living and eating for free in our house for the past two years. She works even harder than our servants. Every day, she prepares three meals a day for the whole family according to your instructions, and she also cleans the house."

"But you, since you married into our Lin family, have you ever cooked a single meal for us? Have you ever swept the floor even once? You're the one who's eating and living for free. Not only are you eating and living for free, but you also spend all day using my son's card to buy all sorts of things."

Shen Qingzhu's face turned ashen, but she couldn't find the words to refute him, so she could only grit her teeth and be angry.

She felt that this family was bewitched, and they were all biased towards Qiao Ran.

The more this happened, the more she disliked Qiao Ran.

Lin Zhihong, fearing his mother and wife would argue, advised, "Alright, let's both say less. Why ruin our harmony over an outsider? Mom, has Meng Chuan returned?"

Xu Ying rolled her eyes, said, "I don't know, I'm not your babysitter," and turned to go upstairs.

Lin Zhihong looked at his wife, and Shen Qingzhu also pouted and left.

He had no choice but to take out his phone and make a call.

But Lin Mengchuan didn't answer.

In a high-end club in northern Beijing, Lin Mengchuan smoked and drank alcohol.

Completely ignoring the noise around them.

Seeing that Lin Mengchuan was drinking, Xu Qing told the two beautiful women who were accompanying him to have some fun by themselves.

He got up and sat down next to Lin Mengchuan.

Raising his glass to Lin Mengchuan, he said, "Brother Chuan, didn't you say you wanted to come out and relax? Why are you drinking alone here? Look, the beauties I called for you are all waiting for you to choose one."

As Xu Qing spoke, he winked at the two beauties, who quickly waved to Lin Mengchuan.

Lin Mengchuan didn't even lift his eyelids and continued drinking.

Xu Qing deliberately sighed, "The most torturous thing in this world is love, so I swore long ago that I would only play around in this world, eat and drink as I please, and never get involved in relationships."

"Brother Chuan, think back to how carefree you were before you divorced Qiao Ran. Why did you become like this after the divorce..."

Xu Qing noticed that Lin Mengchuan was staring at him, and the rest of his sentence stuck in his throat.

Lin Mengchuan remained expressionless. "Go on."

Xu Qing chuckled, "No, Brother Chuan, I'm not mocking you. On the contrary, I think you're very respectable. Look at me, I'll never understand what you feel like in my entire life."

Lin Mengchuan rolled his eyes at Xu Qing, took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a ring of smoke, and muttered to himself, "How can I get Qiao Ran to see me?"

“This situation is probably a bit difficult,” Xu Qing said casually, scratching his head. “Unless we ask her to be our spokesperson, or we invest in a movie and ask her to play the lead role.”

Lin Mengchuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was taken aback. "Brother Chuan, I was just saying. You don't actually want to burn money for Qiao Ran, do you?"

Lin Mengchuan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "Tomorrow I'll check which of our company's projects need a spokesperson."

Xu Qing: "..."

Have money and be willful.

Xu Qing felt that Lin Mengchuan was just being presumptuous, and Qiao Ran might not necessarily reciprocate his feelings.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Lin Mengchuan, however, thought this was a good idea. He felt that this was giving money to Qiao Ran and helping her increase her popularity.

Qiao Ran had no reason to refuse.

After a few drinks, Lin Mengchuan became increasingly excited and pulled Xu Qing aside, saying, "First, we'll get her to be our spokesperson. Second, I'll also invest in a TV series for her, and I'll personally be the producer."

“I accompanied her to the film set. I don’t believe she wouldn’t be moved. Tell me, how many ex-husbands would do that?”

Xu Qing couldn't bear to discourage Lin Mengchuan, so she could only smile and agree, "Yes, yes, yes, Qiao Ran will definitely be moved to tears. Why don't you just set up a talent agency and poach her?"

Lin Mengchuan's eyes lit up. "Sure, it's just money. I'm not short of money."

Xu Qing was joking, but Lin Mengchuan took it seriously. "Then hurry up and get it done. First, find out what qualifications are needed to set up a brokerage company and how much investment is required. Then make a plan for me to see."

Xu Qing really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to be so talkative and dig his own grave?

He hates making plans, especially in areas he knows absolutely nothing about.

How can this be done?

Xu Qing could only pray that Lin Mengchuan would wake up tomorrow and remember nothing, so that he wouldn't have to work on this plan.

But to his surprise, the next morning, no sooner had he arrived at the company than Lin Mengchuan came to his office.

As soon as I sat down, I said, "Put all your projects on hold for a while and see what projects our company has that you can endorse. Also, hurry up and finish the proposal for the agency and hand it to me before you leave work."
