Chapter 110 Su Nianqing visits Lin Zhi to explain the truth of what happened back then.
long silence.
Li Tingze met Lin Zhi's eyes again.
A faint, bitter smile appeared on his lips.
His heart was filled with turbulent emotions that made him irritable.
He doesn't know why he has become like this.
In the past, he would never have been so humble and subservient in front of any woman.
He thought that Lin Zhi was ultimately a special person to him.
After all, in the past five years...
She had always lived with him, and he had long been used to having her by his side.
They say that feelings grow over time, but he didn't know if what he felt was love or something akin to familial affection.
Lin Zhi didn't want to waste any more time with Li Tingze. Seeing that he remained silent, she broke free and tried to leave.
Li Tingze grabbed her hand in time, his tone noticeably weak: "Lin Zhi, you should know that what Jiang Nan can give you, I can also give you, but what I can give you, Jiang Nan may not be able to give you. Two hundred million is his entire fortune, but for me, even if I lose it all, it's nothing. Are you sure you want to choose Jiang Nan?"
Lin Zhi could easily understand the underlying meaning in his words.
His choice to choose, rather than cooperate with Jiang Nan, is quite clear.
He wanted her to make a decision right now: whether to choose him or Jiang Nan.
Lin Zhi gave a cold laugh: "We've been husband and wife for five years, and you've never been generous to me. How generous will you be to me in the future? Right now, you're willing to offer 500 million, disregarding personal gain, but you're only doing so for a reason. As for what that reason is, you know it better than I do. I really don't want to say anything more, and I ask Mr. Li not to bother me any further. When we divorced, you promised to part amicably."
After saying what was on her mind, Lin Zhi ignored Li Tingze completely. Even when he tried to persuade her to stay, she resolutely ran away.
Li Tingze stood there watching her flee.
My heart ached for no reason.
This pain made him desperately need alcohol to numb it.
……
Li Tingze's personal visit to the largest bar in northern Beijing has made many women eager to try it out.
This is a rare opportunity.
Although the owner of this bar is Li Tingze, he himself rarely comes here, perhaps only once a year.
One of the girls, wearing a miniskirt and with a hot figure, boldly sat down next to Li Tingze and poured him a full glass of wine. Li Tingze only glanced at her before picking up the glass and gulping it down.
Seeing that Li Tingze did not drive her away, the girl became even bolder.
As she prepared to pour more wine for Li Tingze, she deliberately pressed her soft breasts against him, and didn't forget to wink at him.
She thought she could become the boss's woman tonight, but she was pushed away by Li Tingze as soon as she got close to him.
She cried out softly, "Mr. Li, you're hurting me."
Such words are quite ambiguous.
He ordered Li Tingze to commit evil deeds.
He recalled the expression on Lin Zhi's face when she insisted on divorcing him, and immediately stood up and kicked the woman hard in the chest.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe and could only endure the pain as she scrambled away.
The assistant, unable to bear it any longer, whispered, "Mr. Li, you should really drink less. There's an important meeting tomorrow morning. If you get drunk, or if you have stomach problems, I'm afraid..."
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Li Tingze glared at him, silencing him.
Li Tingze picked up the bottle and poured the wine into his mouth.
Intoxication overwhelmed his brain, and he called out Lin Zhi's name, demanding that she come to see him right now.
He took out his phone to call Lin Zhi, only to find that he had been blocked again.
Enraged, he threw his phone into the bucket of ice.
The assistant was in a terrible predicament, unsure how to handle the situation. Given Li Tingze's stubbornness, he probably wouldn't stop until he ruined his health from drinking himself into a stupor.
As expected, Li Tingze got extremely drunk and started experiencing abdominal pain.
He then insisted on using his assistant's phone to call Lin Zhi. To avoid breaking his own phone, the assistant had no choice but to use his own phone to dial Lin Zhi's number.
Lin Zhi answered the phone quickly and said bluntly, "Don't contact me about anything related to Li Tingze anymore. We are officially divorced. Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with me. If you continue to harass me, I will call the police."
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
The assistant didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The assistant looked at the phone, which had already been disconnected, and then at Li Tingze, who was completely drunk and kept calling out Lin Zhi's name. He shook his head helplessly.
If he had known this would happen, why would his CEO have acted in the first place?
What's the use of appreciating something only after you've lost it?
Finally, he tied Li Tingze up and carried him back to the villa, where he personally took care of him for the night.
The next day, Li Tingze woke up with a hangover, rubbed his aching head, and found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom, dressed in clean pajamas. He guessed that his assistant had probably contacted Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi had once again taken pity on him and sent him home.
Thinking of this, he immediately got out of bed.
Without even changing his clothes, he jogged to the restaurant.
On the table were light white porridge and side dishes, the kind of food Lin Zhi used to like to prepare for him.
He had just opened his mouth to say "Lin..." when he saw his assistant in an apron busy in the kitchen, and his expression instantly darkened.
Upon seeing Li Tingze, the assistant hurriedly and cautiously said, "Mr. Li, you're awake. I'll postpone the meeting by an hour. Please have breakfast so you can be at the company on time to chair the meeting."
Li Tingze stared at the white porridge on the table and asked unhappily, "Why is it you? Where is she?"
she?
The assistant was stunned for several seconds before realizing who Li Tingze was referring to as "her".
Somewhat reluctantly, he confessed the truth: "Last night I called my wife, but she said she and you are already divorced, so even if you die, it has nothing to do with her."
Upon hearing this, Li Tingze's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He clenched his jaw, and in a fit of anger, flung his hand, knocking the bowl of white porridge off the table.
The assistant was startled and realized he had said the wrong thing.
But he felt that rather than keeping it a secret and letting Li Tingze have expectations, it would be better to let him give up completely, so that he could get out of the pain more quickly.
Suddenly, Li Tingze spoke coldly: "Aren't you already married? Judging from your experience, how can I win her back and get her back?"
"Huh?" The assistant paused for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "Actually, the most important thing when pursuing a girl is a sincere heart. Sincerity is the best weapon."
"Am I not sincere enough?"
"It's not that you're not sincere, it's just that you're trying to win your wife back the wrong way."
"In your opinion, how should I salvage this situation?"
After thinking for a few seconds, the assistant suggested, "The most important thing to win someone's heart is to cater to their preferences. Otherwise, you'll only do the opposite and push them further and further away."
Li Tingze understood the principle very well.
He tried to do something for Lin Zhi several times, but the result was always the opposite.
He was at a loss for what to do.
Seeing Li Tingze's troubled expression, the assistant thought for a moment and then said what he knew: "Isn't Madam starting her own brand company? The first step is to find a suitable office space. Why don't you give her an office in a good location? It might solve her immediate problem, and she will see your sincerity."
Li Tingze thought to himself that it made a lot of sense, so he arranged for his assistant to handle it personally.
We must choose the most suitable location for Lin Zhi.
The assistant lived up to his expectations, quickly finding a good location and buying it for double the market price.
Little did they know that at the same time, Lin Zhi had also taken a liking to this office space. Before they even bought it, they had already negotiated the rent with the landlord. Just as they arrived at the site to sign the contract and secure the space, the landlord suddenly changed his mind, saying that someone else had bought it for a higher price and he wouldn't rent it anymore.
Lin Zhi was so angry that she was speechless.
As luck would have it, Li Tingze called Lin Zhi the moment he got the venue.
He wanted to meet Lin Zhi, but Lin Zhi wouldn't answer his calls at all. Even when she changed her phone, she would hang up and block him as soon as she heard his voice.
Therefore, Li Tingze had no choice but to go to their door in person.
When he placed the house purchase contract in front of Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi's face instantly darkened upon seeing its contents.
She gripped the contract tightly, glared at Li Tingze, and said angrily, "Li Tingze, will you die if you don't control me? Why do you have to keep bothering me? Are you only satisfied when you drive me to my death?"
The sudden question caught Li Tingze off guard.
He frowned, looking at Lin Zhi with incomprehension, wondering why she was so angry for no reason.
She explained softly, "I just wanted to do something for you."
Lin Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly. She felt that the love she once had for Li Tingze had completely vanished.
She threw the contract at Li Tingze and said coldly, "An hour ago, I arranged to sign the contract and pay the rent with this landlord. On my way there, she received a phone call and reneged on the contract, saying that someone had offered a higher price to buy it. I never expected that you would be the one interfering. What is your purpose in doing this? To force me back to you? Or to make me face reality, that no matter what, I can't escape your control?"
After listening to Lin Zhi's words, Li Tingze realized the problem.
He never imagined that his good intentions would backfire again.
He wanted to explain, but seeing Lin Zhi's righteous indignation in her eyes, he knew that no matter how much he said, she wouldn't listen to a word.
He experienced firsthand the feeling of being misunderstood and unable to explain himself.
Thinking back, when he treated Lin Zhi with cold and harsh words, she initially shed tears in secret, but eventually became indifferent.
Now that this scene has happened to him, he knows how painful this suffering is.
He sighed silently and said softly, "I've already bought this office space. If you still care about our past relationship, you can accept it. I won't charge you a penny."
Lin Zhi shook her head decisively.
She had already made up her mind to leave Li Tingze, so naturally she would no longer accept any charity from him.
She smiled faintly: "Li Tingze, as you said, we had a five-year marriage. That's why I know your temperament so well, and I also know that the price I paid for accepting it wouldn't be simple, after all, you are a person who is always successful."
Lin Zhi firmly believes that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Li Tingze looked at Lin Zhi in disbelief, yet felt that it was only natural for her to say those things.
He had once misunderstood her in the same way.
He gave a bitter smile: "So that's what you think of me."
Lin Zhi did not answer, but looked at him coldly.
Her gaze toward him was filled with disgust.
He knew that continuing to talk would only earn Lin Zhi's dislike, so he decided to say less.
Before leaving, he stared at Lin Zhi for a long time, until Lin Zhi became impatient, and then he left in a disheveled state.
This time, Lin Zhi watched Li Tingze's departing figure without any emotional fluctuation.
Even if she can't sign a contract, she has backup options.
She would never use the office space that Li Tingze had bought, no matter what.
……
Just as Lin Zhi was about to leave to finalize a contract with another landlord, she ran into Su Nianqing, who had come uninvited.
She couldn't even remember the last time she had seen Su Nianqing's face.
So much so that when she first saw Su Nianqing, she wasn't even sure if the person in front of her was Su Nianqing.
She only snapped out of her shock when Su Nianqing called her name.
Su Nianqing's appearance has undergone a complete transformation.
Although Su Nianqing was pale before, she was still quite beautiful. She was completely different from the emaciated, sunken-cheeked, and sunken-eyed Su Nianqing in front of us. The Su Nianqing in front of us looked like a dying person.
Su Nianqing knew Lin Zhi was surprised, but she didn't hide it and explained her purpose.
She spoke weakly, "Mrs. Li, I've come today to tell you the truth about what happened back then, and to clear up the misunderstanding between you and Aze."
Upon hearing the title "Mrs. Li," Lin Zhi quickly corrected herself, "I am divorced from Li Tingze and I am no longer Mrs. Li. You can call me Lin Zhi or Miss Lin."
Su Nianqing naturally knew about Lin Zhi's divorce from Li Tingze.
She gave a bitter smile and continued, "It's such a pity that you and Aze divorced. He always had you in his heart. If I hadn't impersonated you back then, Aze and I wouldn't have had so much interaction."
"You don't need to tell me these things. I already knew you were impersonating me." Lin Zhi didn't want to waste words with Su Nianqing and turned to leave after saying that.
Su Nianqing noticed Lin Zhi's cold attitude.
He hurriedly called out, "Lin Zhi, don't you want to hear whether anything happened between me and Li Tingze?"
Lin Zhi didn't turn around, but replied calmly, "Whether you impersonated me back then or not, the fact that Li Tingze and I ended up divorcing will not change. You are just one of the reasons. Even without you, he would still have intimate relationships with other women. In his heart, I am nothing more than a tool that Grandpa Li placed by his side to monitor him. He never loved me before, and even if he knew the truth that I was the one who saved him, he still wouldn't fall in love with me. It's still the same now."
It's not that Li Tingze is incapable of loving others, but rather that deep down he only loves himself.
Even if he wanted to love her now, he couldn't let go of his inhibitions and love her wholeheartedly.
Su Nianqing was somewhat taken aback.
Lin Zhi's nonchalant attitude was unexpected.
She had thought that after she cleared up all the misunderstandings over the years before she died, the marital breakdown between Lin Zhi and Li Tingze would be improved.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhi lived a more enlightened life than she did.
She gave Lin Zhi's retreating figure a self-deprecating laugh, then retorted, unwilling to give up, "Ms. Lin, haven't you ever regretted divorcing Aze? Not even for a second?"
Lin Zhi turned around and met Su Nianqing's bluish eyes.
She replied coldly, "I only regret leaving too late."
