After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter Eight: Crazy Credit Card Swiping

"What did you say?"

Meng Chengze spoke eloquently.

"Think about it, you've already given him so much compensation before. If you give him more, people who don't know the situation might think that Dr. Xu is deliberately trying to cheat you out of your money."

"Besides, Dr. Xu is a highly skilled doctor, one of the top doctors in the hospital, and he's not short of money. Let's not try to win his favor."

Jiang Xin frowned.

"This is mine..."

Xu Zirui spoke up promptly.

"No need, you keep it. I'm leaving."

He turned and left without pausing, as if he had made up his mind.

Jiang Xin's heart sank again, her emotions were very complicated.

Meng Chengze looked at the property certificate in his hand, his face full of greed.

“Xinxin, since he doesn’t want it, then give me the property certificate. I need a place to stay anyway.”

As he spoke, he reached out and took Jiang Xin's delicate hand.

"I knew Xinxin was the best to me. Don't worry, I will definitely make it up to you in the future."

As he spoke, he had already stuffed the property deed into his arms.

Jiang Xin smiled faintly, but the happiness on her face diminished slightly...

Home.

Looking at the divorce certificate in his hand, Xu Zirui was suddenly overwhelmed with memories.

He smiled bitterly. Was this the result of his seven years of hard work? It seemed that seven years ultimately couldn't compare to a few words from some people.

For the next few days, he remained depressed and unable to get over the shadow of the divorce. He turned into a workaholic, locking himself in his room every time he got home and never communicating with anyone else.

My parents saw it all and were very worried.

That afternoon, Mom cooked a big table of dishes, all of which were Xu Zirui's favorites.

Before Xu Zirui noticed, the food in his bowl had been piled up into a small mountain.

"Rui Rui, eat more. Look at you, you've lost weight recently. Since there are some things we can't change, let's not make things difficult for ourselves."

My mother's words were full of heartache.

Xu Zirui gave a bitter smile.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Even he himself didn't believe what he said, and his father sighed, expressing his deep helplessness.

After dinner, Xu Zirui, like a walking corpse, went back to his room on his own.

"His dad, it seems we need to do something."

The mother suddenly spoke.

The next morning, Xu Zirui was about to go to work when his mother stopped him.

"Don't go to work today, take a day off."

Xu Zirui frowned slightly.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

My mom was very happy.

"Of course something's happened, and it's incredibly good news!"

"Mom made some contact for you last night. Yuqing happens to be free today. You two can go out for a stroll and catch up."

Xu Zirui naturally knew what this "building relationships" meant, and smiled wryly.

"Mom, I don't want to go on blind dates right now, and I'm not in the mood for it."

But he said it was no use, his mother had already handed him the clothes.

"Oh, just don't treat this like a blind date. Just think of it as a meal between ordinary friends. What's so difficult about that?"

"Besides, I think Yuqing is a good girl. She agreed as soon as I called her. Anyway, I've already agreed. If you don't go, how am I supposed to face people after this?"

Ultimately, after being dragged along by his mother, Xu Zirui agreed to go to the appointment.

After all, he had a pretty good impression of He Yuqing from their previous meeting, and he didn't want to embarrass her like that.

This time, instead of choosing a quiet coffee shop, we went to an arcade.

He Yuqing's smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she was stunningly beautiful.

"Brother Zirui, I feel like you've been under a lot of pressure lately. You can relax here a bit, right? You don't mind, do you?"

Xu Zirui forced a smile, but he was clearly distracted.

"How could that be? Let's go."

He Yuqing did almost all the work throughout the entire process, while Xu Zirui was reduced to a paper doll, only moving occasionally, like a zombie.

Later, the two went for a walk and talked a lot, but neither of them mentioned the blind date.

As dusk approached, He Yuqing smiled and waved her hand.

"Brother Zirui, I'll be going now. You should go back too, don't make Auntie worry."

Xu Zirui nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly glanced at her and immediately moved closer.

"Um... let me see you off."

It was simply because he accidentally saw a familiar figure.

It was Meng Chengze!

He was walking through a high-end store, swiping his black card rapidly.

He remembered this card; it was one of Jiang Xin's supplementary cards.

He hired two bodyguards to help carry his things, and he bought a lot of high-end brand clothing and luxury goods.

Xu Zirui couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Looks like we've really become family."

He Yuqing looked at him with a hint of heartache.

"Brother Zirui, you don't need to see me off. You should go back and get some rest. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

Looking at the girl's understanding appearance, Xu Zirui felt uneasy. What was this guy? A scumbag?

But I really don't feel like talking about it anymore.

On the other hand, Jiang Xin was overwhelmed with various collaborations because her company had just gone public. She was working non-stop all day long and didn't even have time to eat or sleep.

I just finished work today, and when I looked out the window, it was already past midnight.

"Gulu."

Jiang Xin's stomach growled unexpectedly, and she instinctively looked to her side.

There's always an insulated box there, containing a homemade lunchbox that Xu Zirui makes for himself.

But now, let alone lovingly prepared bento boxes, there aren't even any snacks available.

Just then, secretary Liu Zhenzhen walked in, carrying a cup of coffee. As both her secretary and best friend, she would accompany Jiang Xin until she got off work every day.

"Have some water, it'll make your stomach feel better."

"Thank you."

Jiang Xin took the coffee, but couldn't drink a single drop.

Liu Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow.

"Where's Meng Chengze? You get off work so late, isn't he going to pick you up?"

Jiang Xin shook her head.

"Cheng Ze hasn't been feeling well lately and is resting at home. I'll go back by myself in a bit."

Liu Zhenzhen said irritably.

"Feeling unwell? I don't think so. How could you shop all day if you weren't feeling well? And you bought so much stuff."

Jiang Xin frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zhenzhen handed over the transaction records of Jiang Xin's supplementary card.

"Take a look for yourself. This is Meng Chengze's daily cash flow. I really don't know what he's buying all this stuff for."

"Buying clothes is one thing, but what's the point of him buying so much jewelry? And it's all men's jewelry."

Seeing the turnover of over a million, Jiang Xin fell silent for a moment.

I did give him this card, and I told him to feel free to use it if needed.

But to spend over a million in a single day is indeed a bit...

Liu Zhenzhen spoke up.

"Xinxin, sometimes I really have to advise you, you must open your eyes wide, otherwise..."

"do not talk!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xin interrupted him.

"It's just some stuff I bought, nothing serious."

"Besides, his career hasn't even started yet, so it's only right that I support him."

Liu Zhenzhen was prepared to try to persuade her again.

"But……"
