C32 Borrower!

Xie Lingyu picked up her phone and replied to Chen Junsheng's message.

Even if she regretted it now, Xie Lingyu had personally torn up the contract between the and Pleasure Makeup, which also meant that her company would give up on working with Fame Company.

Thus, in order for her company to survive, she had to find a new investor as soon as possible.

After cleaning herself up, Xie Lingyu, under Mrs. Xie's surprised gaze, made her way resolutely towards the location that Chen Junsheng told her to meet him at.

When she was leaving the residential area, Xie Lingyu failed to notice two figures slowly approaching her residence from not too far away.

"Big Brother Yang, wasn't that sister-in-law just now?"

One of them nudged the other beside him, speaking in a surprised tone.

These two people were precisely Zhouyang and Niu Chuan who had just finished their drinking session.

Zhouyang shook his head in an attempt to clear his vision before finally seeing Xie Lingyu's figure in a distance.

"That's right, it really is her. Where is she going at a time like this?"

Since Zhouyang had drunk quite a bit, he felt somewhat tipsy as he staggered in his steps. He even forgot about the conflict which took place between him and Xie Lingyu at the office and about Xie Lingyu asking for a divorce.

"Do you want to follow her, Big Brother Yang?"

Niu Chuan quickened his pace, but his body seemed to fall behind.

"Come, let's follow her and take a look. I want to see what she's doing behind my back!"

Zhouyang didn't think too much about it. He simply muttered his words in his drunken state and followed her trail.

The two of them proceeded to call a taxi and followed Xie Lingyu to a private club on the west side of the city.

Before Zhouyang and Niu Chuan got out of the car, they saw Xie Lingyu get out as another person walked up to her.

"Damn! It's that bastard Chen Junsheng!"

Zhouyang rubbed his eyes with all his might to clear his vision. When he saw who it was, it caused his blood to boil in anger.

He never thought that Xie Lingyu would come to see Chen Junsheng this late at night. Could it be that she had forgotten about his previous attempt to blackmail her?

"Big Brother Yang, it's that bastard Chen Junsheng. He must have bad intentions towards Lingyu!"

Niu Chuan growled and got out of the car, rushing towards Chen Junsheng and Xie Lingyu.

Zhouyang wanted to stop him but failed to react in time.

"Bastard, you dare to touch my sister-in-law!"

With a loud roar, Niu Chuan sent a punch straight towards Chen Junsheng.

In his state of drunkenness, Niu Chuan had little to no control of his body right now. Though he threw out a punch, it missed his target completely. Instead, the force in his attack pulled his entire body with him, causing him to stagger uncontrollably forward and fall onto the ground.

"Who are you?"

Chen Junsheng looked at Niu Chuan with a gloomy face and was extremely alert.

"Niu Chuan?"

On the other hand, Xie Lingyu recognized Niu Chuan at a glance.

After all, in the last three years, Niu Chuan and Zhouyang had often hung out together. Having to pick up Zhouyang in his drunken state several times in the past, she had some impressions of Niu Chuan from those times.

Since Niu Chuan was here, Zhouyang must be nearby as well.

Xie Lingyu thought of this possibility immediately and took quick glances around. When she turned around and looked behind her, she saw Zhouyang walking over with a vexed expression.

"I was wondering who it was, so it was Brother Zhou. Why aren't you accompanying Director Shen even though it's so late at night?"

When Chen Junsheng saw Zhouyang, he immediately sneered and intentionally changed the topic to Shen Bijun.

The rumors about him, Zhouyang and Shen Bijun, had spread throughout the city during the day and had become a possible topic to gossip about at night. The intentions behind his words were obvious.

When Xie Lingyu heard the words' Director Shen,' her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed and her gaze became much colder.

"Zhouyang, you followed me?"

Xie Lingyu asked coldly.

She didn't believe that this was a coincidence. Moreover, from the looks of Zhouyang and Niu Chuan, they were obviously following them.

"What is it? Xie Lingyu, we're still not divorced, yet you're already that eager to get on good terms with him?"

The alcohol Zhouyang drank was very strong and had muddled his thoughts. However, the last trace of clarity in his mind told him that Xie Lingyu came out at night to see Chen Junsheng.

Every since Zhouyang and Xie Lingyu married each other, the appearance of this bastard always caused Zhouyang to feel a great sense of hostility and crisis.

As a man, and a man full of vigor, Zhouyang couldn't hold back his anger at this moment and roared at Xie Lingyu for the first time.

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere became absolutely silent.

Chen Junsheng didn't say a word. He just smiled and looked at Zhouyang.

Niu Chuan, who had just managed to get back up on his legs, walked to the side of Zhouyang and glared at Xie Lingyu and Chen Junsheng.

Xie Lingyu was also stunned.

She could not believe what she had just witnessed.

To think that Zhouyang would actually shout at her.

During their three years of marriage, Zhouyang had never shouted at her like this even when Mrs. Xie had asked for the divorce twice before because of Chen Junsheng's sudden reappearance.

"Zhouyang, you've really disappointed me. You've never bothered to understand my feelings!"

"Do you think that just by becoming a shareholder in Fame Company and by extending your seemingly pathetic hand to me that you can help me?"

Xie Lingyu let out a sad smile. Her bright eyes were filled with disappointment.

She thought that if she herself proposed a divorce, she could at least let Zhouyang reflect on his decisions.

However, she did not expect that he had become even more unreasonable.

"I don't understand you? Did you understand me then?"

Zhouyang snapped. He grabbed Xie Lingyu's shoulder with his hands and looked at her with his bloodshot eyes.

All the suffering and pain that he had to endure for the past three years seemed to be on the verge of bursting out all at once with the help of the booze.

"Three years... It's been three whole years. Although we are husband and wife, have you ever once seen me as your husband? As for this bastard beside you, the moment he returned to this place, your entire family began fawning over him and started treating me like absolute trash!"

"Did you think it was easy for me to rise up to become the person in charge of the Whitening Factor Project?! I even wanted to take the chance to finally help you for the first time in our marriage! Yet, you ended up thinking that I have become a gigolo and now even wanting to divorce me?! Can't I, Zhouyang, have any sort of ambitions in my life?!"

Zhouyang was getting more and more agitated by the second, as if the dormant volcano in him was slowly erupting. Though the veins in his arms were becoming more obvious, Xie Lingyu did not feel any sort of pain from his grasps.

It was the first time she heard Zhouyang say such heartfelt words. She was at a loss for words.

Zhouyang's words contained many things that she hadn't noticed before.

Maybe she might have noticed some, but she chose to not care about it.

"Zhouyang, I'm warning you. Let go of Lingyu this instant! How can a gigolo like you hope to help Lingyu in her situation? Keep dreaming!"

"To tell you the truth, I've already contacted a few investors for Lingyu. This time, you won't be able to stop me!"

Chen Junsheng raised his eyebrows. Though he reached his hand out to attempt to push away Zhouyang's hand away from Xie Lingyu's shoulder, he could not break Zhouyang's grasps no matter how much strength he used.

"Zhouyang, if you still don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chen Junsheng was embarrassed by his lack of strength for a moment and did not bother putting on an act this time. Instead, he immediately began threatening Zhouyang.

"You want to deal with me?! Come on then! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Zhouyang raised his hand to push away Chen Junsheng's arm and shouted loudly.

"Hey, Tiger Lord, I want to ask for your help. I want to borrow some of your men."

Zhouyang took his phone out and made a call to Tiger Lord, who had he had just separated from not too long ago.

Zhouyang already knew Tiger Lord's purpose.

Ever after hearing the praise of Tiger Lord's abilities, Zhouyang wasn't afraid of asking for Tiger Lord's assistance when the time came.

"Humph! Tiger Lord? Who are you trying to scare? Little Wang, go tell Master Shun to wait for a while. There's something I need to take care of here."

Zhouyang, thinking he was already familiar with Zhouyang's social connections, believing, other than the connections he made in Fame Company, that he did not have any other connections with people from outside the company.

"What happened? Junsheng, you made me, Master Shun, wait for so long. I'll have you drink a few more cups of booze to make up for it later."
