Although Gu Feiyang had only recently returned to the country and was meeting Xiao Zhenyu for the first time, Xiao Zhenyu had developed well in Rongcheng over the past few years and was now a famous commercial nouveau riche in Rongcheng.

Media often interviewed and reported on him, so even those who hadn’t met him had seen his photos in various financial news magazines and heard of his name.

Naturally, Gu Feiyang knew him.

Seeing Gu Feiyang’s protective stance, Xiao Zhenyu’s gaze also changed slightly.

He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if something that originally belonged to him had been taken away.

“I want to talk to you alone,” Xiao Zhenyu said, looking at Su Lingwei, deliberately ignoring Gu Feiyang beside her.

Su Lingwei didn’t know what Xiao Zhenyu wanted to talk to her about.

Based on their current relationship, what else was there to say?

“Whatever you have to say, say it here,” Su Lingwei said coldly.

Xiao Zhenyu glanced at her, then glanced at Gu Feiyang next to her, and said, “Are you sure you want to say it here?”

Su Lingwei felt a headache coming on.

After thinking for a moment, she did have something to say to Xiao Zhenyu.

The longer she postponed what needed to be done, the worse it would be for everyone.

“Let’s go outside to talk then,” Su Lingwei finally changed her mind.

“Wei wei,” Gu Feiyang called out to her worriedly.

Su Lingwei raised her head to meet Gu Feiyang’s concerned gaze, smiled slightly, and said, “It’s okay. You go to the private room and order. I’ll finish talking with Mr. Xiao and come right back. I want braised pork ribs. Remember to order them for me.”

Hearing Su Lingwei’s words, Gu Feiyang didn’t insist further, but he still felt a bit uneasy.

“Be careful. Call me if you need anything.”

Su Lingwei nodded, “I know. You go ahead and order first.”

Standing next to him, Xiao Zhenyu felt even more uncomfortable.

Would Su Lingwei eat him?

Was he that terrible?

Shortly after, Su Lingwei followed Xiao Zhenyu outside.

Xiao Zhenyu kept walking forward, almost reaching where he parked his car. Su Lingwei suddenly stopped, called out to him, “Mr. Xiao, just say what you want to say here.”

Xiao Zhenyu stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, turned around, and said with a hint of displeasure, “Su Lingwei, must you treat me like this?”

Su Lingwei chuckled at his words and asked, “Otherwise?”

Xiao Zhenyu was momentarily stunned.

Su Lingwei couldn’t be bothered with his feelings and directly said, “If you have nothing to say, I do.”

Xiao Zhenyu immediately guessed what Su Lingwei wanted to say.

He subconsciously didn’t want to hear her bring it up, feeling a strong aversion to it.

He really wanted to push that matter far away, preferably as if it had never happened.

But before he could think of a response, Xiao Zhenyu’s mind raced and he finally found a topic.

He quickly asked, “Is your family’s company doing well?”

Now Su Lingwei should be most concerned about her family’s company.

He took this opportunity to show more concern and actively offer some help.

She should be willing to chat with him more, and not be so cold to him.

But obviously, Xiao Zhenyu was completely mistaken.

Although Su Lingwei used to be soft in front of him, willing to change her personality for him, it does not mean that now, Su Lingwei is still willing to love him as meekly as before, treating him as her everything.

Su Lingwei sarcastically asked, “Is there something wrong with my family’s company?”

Xiao Zhenyu was stunned by the question.

Yes, Su’s company is now doing well.

Xuanfei Technology has invested a large sum of money in Jiahe Entertainment.

Even when Jiahe Entertainment’s artists encountered issues, Jiahe Entertainment quickly responded.

Netizens also understood Jiahe Entertainment’s actions.

Su Lingwei successfully resolved Jiahe Entertainment’s crisis and is developing in a positive direction.

This is something he had never thought of before.

In his impression, Su Lingwei has always been a pampered rich young lady, just a soft and delicate rice bug enjoying a wealthy life, without the ability to manage a company.

But reality is slapping him in the face.

Su Lingwei is not what he thought she was.

She is much braver and stronger than he imagined.

Xiao Zhenyu knew that continuing this topic would only lead to a dead end, so he quickly changed the subject, “Is father’s health okay?”

“Whose father?” Su Lingwei’s face showed no expression, her voice cold as she corrected him, “Mr. Xiao, you can eat indiscriminately, but you cannot talk indiscriminately.”

Her distant and cold attitude couldn’t be clearer; she wanted to sever all ties with him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenyu felt uncomfortable, as if he had been punched heavily in the heart.

“Do you have to be like this? Even if… he is still my father.” Xiao Zhenyu still wanted to salvage the situation.

Su Lingwei’s face completely turned cold, her slap-like face showing displeasure. She completely shattered any illusions Xiao Zhenyu had, “Xiao Zhenyu, it was I who begged to marry you back then, you were unwilling, unwilling to even touch me. After I finally figured it out and divorced you to fulfill your wish, you quickly signed the divorce agreement, showing that you are also decisive, a man should not regret what he has done. What’s this sticky behavior now? Don’t make me look down on you!”

“Tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, let’s go get the divorce certificate.”

“Although you need an appointment for divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau, I believe you can do it.”

“Don’t drag this out, it’s not good for anyone if it’s dragged out for too long.”

“If you’re a man, be straightforward!”

Su Lingwei is really fed up with Xiao Zhenyu.

Sometimes when she sees him, she can’t help but wonder how stupid she was back then, acting like she was enchanted by Xiao Zhenyu, loving him desperately.

Was it just because he had a good-looking appearance?

Having gone through it all again, Su Lingwei really feels that she was too shallow back then.

Men with good looks abound in the entertainment industry, all types are there. She really doesn’t need to hang herself on Xiao Zhenyu!

After speaking, Su Lingwei couldn’t be bothered to deal with Xiao Zhenyu anymore and walked away.

Xiao Zhenyu watched her leaving figure, his brows furrowing deeply, seemingly reluctant, and said to Su Lingwei’s back, “Is it because of him?”

In fact, when this sentence was uttered, Xiao Zhenyu regretted it. He couldn’t even figure out which “he” he was referring to, because he had seen two different men beside Su Lingwei, and he didn’t even know much about them, but it made him jealous to the point of madness, and he couldn’t help but blurt out that sentence.

Su Lingwei didn’t want to pay attention to Xiao Zhenyu at all, but after he said this sentence, Su Lingwei stopped her footsteps, clenched the hand hanging by her side very angrily, a strong anger colliding everywhere in her chest. She couldn’t bear it anymore and turned back.
