Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Lufen was furious, but she suppressed her anger and slowly walked towards the dining table.

Shen Menghan just ate her own food; what business was it of hers what other people's family affairs were?

Li Zhicheng didn't even glance at Lu Fen, his gaze remaining fixed intently on the lovely woman sitting opposite him.

Shen Menghan felt a very strange atmosphere gradually rising around her, and the increasingly tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Lu Fen pulled up a chair and sat down next to Li Zhicheng. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Menghan, who was eating and drinking without a care in the world. She deliberately coughed loudly.

Shen Menghan found it strange, paused for a moment, and then continued. Did Lu Fen want her to bow to her? Li Zhicheng wasn't giving her a friendly look, so she didn't need to put on a show for him.

Seeing that they both treated her like she was invisible, Lu Fen was furious, and the anger in her chest was rising rapidly.

"Zhicheng, Meili came to see you just now, why were you so mean to her? She's your cousin, and she's practically been with you as you grew up. Why are you so difficult to deal with?" Lu Fen lowered her voice, trying not to let her anger explode.

Li Zhicheng's brow furrowed even more, and his voice was as deep as if it had risen from hell: "If you're done speaking, please go back and don't disturb us."

"You are such an unfilial son. I raised you with great difficulty, and this is how you defy me? I have committed a sin by giving birth to a son like you who is always against me. I should have just strangled you back then."

Lu Fen covered her face and pretended to cry, but she was truly heartbroken.

Seeing that she was still talking, Shen Menghan lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks, picked up the soy milk next to her and drank it down in one gulp. She then took a tissue to wipe her mouth and stood up to go upstairs.

She was very tired from work during the day and didn't have time to watch Lu Fen perform here.

"Shen Menghan, you stop right there! I am Zhicheng's mother, and this is how you treat me? Just because of your attitude, I don't like you." Lu Fen, unable to do anything about her son, vented her anger on Shen Menghan.

Shen Menghan stopped, turned around, and glanced at Li Zhicheng, trying to read his meaning from his face.

"Xiaohan, you must be tired after a long day at work. Go upstairs, take a shower, and go to bed," Li Zhicheng said to her face, completely disregarding his mother's words.

Shen Menghan understood and decisively left, seeing no need to hold a grudge against Lu Fen any longer.

"Zhicheng, you've gone too far!" Lu Fen slammed her hand on the table and stood up. If she continued to tolerate this, she would completely ruin her image!

Shen Menghan hurried upstairs, not wanting to listen to the mother and son arguing any longer. She had no curiosity about their affairs and thought it was none of her business.

Li Zhicheng retorted reproachfully, "Xiaohan wasn't full and you scared her away. I won't forgive you if she has an upset stomach." Li Zhicheng's voice was deep and serious, not like he was joking.

"Zhicheng, put your hand on your heart. If it weren't for your mother, would you be where you are today?" Lu Fen cursed bitterly, thinking that having a son to protect her would only make her die of anger.

“I thank you for giving me life, yet I am not grateful for everything you have done for me. Do I have any conscience? My actions will prove everything. If you are so bored that you can’t sleep, why don’t you talk to my dad and ask him if he is willing to come home?”

After Li Zhicheng finished speaking, he followed her upstairs, not wanting to say another word to her.

Lu Fen listened in a daze. Did he know?

She had never told her husband about their agreed separation. Did he know? Even if he did, he was almost twenty-eight years old and should be more aware of adult matters than most. Why was he taking all his anger out on her?

"Zhicheng, what do you mean?" She came to her senses, but her son had already gone upstairs.

With trembling hands, she dialed the number that was both the most familiar and yet felt completely foreign to her, only to have the other party immediately cut off her signal.

She didn't believe it and tried unplugging it again, but this time it was turned off. Could it be out of power?

Shen Menghan went upstairs, grabbed her pajamas, and went in to take a shower. The rushing water washed over every inch of her skin. Only in this way could she wake herself up and take the opportunity to shake off her fatigue.

Li Zhicheng went straight back to his study, turned on his computer, and stared at an anonymous letter. He had already read the contents and was secretly investigating whether the things mentioned in it were true.

If the reality is truly as described in the letter, then he has absolutely no connection with the Li family...

Even after leaving the Li family, with his exceptional wisdom and unique business acumen, it wouldn't be difficult for him to rebuild his empire. Just in case, he has already started operating other new businesses as a backup plan.

Shen Menghan's wedding dress company today is also his new investment. If she can't use it, he will hire other professional managers to save it.

He thought this lovely little woman was only fierce towards him. When faced with bullying from others, she never backed down. If she were weaker, she would probably be squeezed dry by Xu Yingying. However, she made good use of the flower delivery guy's opportunity to create a beautiful counterattack that was in her favor.

After washing and scrubbing for about an hour, Shen Menghan finally came out of the bathroom.

She felt much better. She glanced around but didn't see Li Zhicheng. Was he still downstairs 'chatting' with Lu Fen?

Perfect timing! She'd better go to sleep first, so she wouldn't have to stare at him like that later. But she also wanted to have a good talk with him about things at the company.

Just as she hesitated, Li Zhicheng pushed open the door and came in.

She stared at his equally tired face, pursed her lips, and frowned deeply before finally deciding to ask him, "What are your plans for our company?"

"You are in full charge. If you feel overwhelmed, we will send someone else to support you." He didn't intend to hide anything and explained the matter clearly.

"How can a designer like me manage a company? You should find someone more capable." In the end, she still didn't admit that if she ruined the company, she would have no face to stay there.

"Try it and see if it works. Don't rush to refuse. Xiaohan, you didn't eat enough. How about I go downstairs and cook you some noodles?" Li Zhicheng changed the subject and returned to her food.

"My stomach is bloated, and I can't eat that much. I can manage for a few days, but you should send someone over as soon as possible, otherwise I can't afford to take responsibility for the losses." Shen Menghan didn't have the guts to do that. Her ideal was to become an international designer, not a CEO.

"I'll have Li Jing come over and take a look at you. Don't go to sleep yet."

"What does Li Jing do?"

"He is the Li family's family doctor."

"Oh..." Shen Menghan drew out the last syllable of her voice. Rich people are different; even their family doctor lives in the Li family's house.
