Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Another Man Hoping for Cheng Zhiwei’s Divorce

Meng Qiancheng issued orders for the nurses to administer Cheng Zhiwei a new nebulization therapy and glanced at Xu Tian and He Ye with a confrontational tone, "What’s the matter with you two? Knowing her throat is not good, why didn’t you take better care of her?"

It was at this moment that Zhou Lin and Bai Zhuzhu also arrived.

Bai Zhuzhu’s face was pale, and she asked with feigned concern and a gentle voice, "Is Sister Zhiwei’s throat condition so serious? Even if it’s cured, there will be sequels, right?"

Xu Tian wished she could tear Bai Zhuzhu’s mouth apart as she responded coldly, "Rest assured, even if Zhiwei’s throat is ruined, He Ye’s lyrics and music still won’t be your turn."

Zhou Lin’s eyes darkened as he stared down at Xu Tian, "Zhuzhu came here especially to see Cheng Zhiwei."

The implication was that Bai Zhuzhu was so kind-hearted.

Biting her lip, Bai Zhuzhu said in a pitiable manner, "Miss Xu, I truly do care about Sister Zhiwei. Besides, I can pay for the song. As long as Mr. He is willing to let me sing it, money is no object."

"Do you have money?" Xu Tian scoffed with contempt, "Zhou Lin must be the one who’s paying for you to buy it."

Meng Qiancheng glanced at Cheng Zhiwei, who remained silent and expressionless, and asked, "And who is this?"

Zhou Lin’s mistress, Bai Zhuzhu," Xu Tian said loudly.

"Mistress?" Meng Qiancheng’s eyebrows furrowed, and with a touch of scorn, he said, "If Young President Zhou has someone on the side, why doesn’t he just get a divorce?"

The word "divorce" struck a nerve in Zhou Lin; his piercing gaze fixed on Meng Qiancheng, showing a determination and eagerness that couldn’t be avoided.

Another man looking forward to Cheng Zhiwei’s divorce.

Zhou Lin’s heart twitched, and he slowly turned his gaze towards Cheng Zhiwei. She was sitting on a chair, head lowered, her expression unclear, but she exuded an air of complete aloofness and coldness.

Her suitors kept coming one after another; now she didn’t even bother looking at him. Zhou Lin didn’t know what mess was inside his head, only that his mood was very unpleasant.

He sharply cooled his tone and reprimanded Secretary Zhang, "Didn’t I tell you to call the police?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Zhiwei suddenly look up at him, opening her mouth as if to say something, but proving unable to speak.

Zhou Lin’s face was unreadable as he said, "Miss Xu, your mouth... If you don’t learn your lesson, you’ll never understand the trouble it can cause."

Cheng Zhiwei stood up, her lips pursed, and stared straight at Zhou Lin.

Her gaze was so sharp that it hurt Zhou Lin deeply, prompting him to leave with Bai Zhuzhu without another word.

Xu Tian seemed unconcerned, "Don’t worry about me. My family has no business dealings with the Zhou Family, we don’t rely on them to make a living."

Cheng Zhiwei anxiously grabbed her.

Meng Qiancheng quickly advised, "Weiwei, don’t talk anymore. Whatever it is can wait until after the nebulization is done."

He Ye also said, "I will go with Xu Tian. Zhiwei, your throat is important, and so are the lyrics and music. I’ve said it before, even if it’s my own destruction, I won’t let Bai Zhuzhu sing them. She can’t even dream of getting them."

Cheng Zhiwei could only proceed with the treatment, her emotions churning violently within as she kept an eye on the activity outside. Thus, she personally witnessed the police taking Xu Tian away, with He Ye following them.

A vast disparity, never felt before, surged up within her at that moment. Clutching the doorframe, Cheng Zhiwei felt an unprecedented hatred burgeoning from the depths of her heart.

If you don’t love, then let’s part ways. Must we really be at each other’s throats like this, relentless until the end?

"Weiwei, you haven’t even finished the nebulization treatment, what are you doing?" Meng Qiancheng entered and saw that Cheng Zhiwei had interrupted her nebulization treatment. Shocked and angered, he said, "No matter how big the issue is, you still need to properly receive treatment. With your current condition, you can’t do anything."

Cheng Zhiwei pinched the palm of her hand; indeed, she couldn’t do anything right now.

However, her throat had been feeling only slightly uncomfortable before, even though she was unable to speak. After one treatment, how could it be so severe now?

Cheng Zhiwei typed her question on her phone to ask Meng Qiancheng.

Meng Qiancheng explained, "Your throat needs to be rested. You have not been resting it, and your emotions have been fluctuating greatly. You speak recklessly regardless of the consequences. How can it heal?"

Cheng Zhiwei thought about it and decided to quietly receive the treatment.

"Weiwei, did Zhou Lin really have someone else behind your back?" Meng Qiancheng sat beside her and asked softly.

Cheng Zhiwei gave a bitter smile. How was it Zhou Lin having someone behind her back? He was openly involved with someone else.

"This Bai Zhuzhu, have you looked into her? Don’t you think she resembles someone?" Meng Qiancheng’s tone turned serious.

The smile froze on Cheng Zhiwei’s lips; she certainly knew. From the moment she first saw Bai Zhuzhu, she knew Zhuzhu looked like Seo Zhenzhen. If she hadn’t known Seo was an orphan, she would have almost thought Zhuzhu was her biological sister.

The Cheng Family had once sponsored two children from welfare institutions; one was Meng Qiancheng, and the other was Seo Zhenzhen. Meng Qiancheng lived with the Cheng family for four years, and Seo Zhenzhen lived with the Seo family for eight years, from the age of fifteen to twenty-three. Then, after a certain incident, Seo Zhenzhen went abroad for treatment, and Cheng Zhiwei never heard from her again.

Now, suddenly reminded of this person, Cheng Zhiwei felt a painful tug at her heart.

Those past events... those past events...

If not for those past events, perhaps she would still be a singer, not particularly outstanding, yet still struggling for her dreams.

She wouldn’t have to endure a loveless marriage of three years and Zhou Lin’s hatred.

"From what I know, Zhenzhen was sent overseas for treatment with Zhou Lin’s arrangement. Now, with Bai Zhuzhu, who looks like her, by Zhou Lin’s side, I think he’s doing it just to aggravate you," Meng Qiancheng said, analyzing Zhou Lin’s intentions for Cheng Zhiwei like an older brother. Of course, after years of being together, Cheng Zhiwei regarded Meng Qiancheng as her brother.

Cheng Zhiwei was aware of Meng Qiancheng’s concern, but since she couldn’t speak, she also couldn’t express that it was Zhou Lin who was unwilling to divorce.

Cheng Zhiwei closed her eyes wearily; it was Zhou Lin’s way of getting revenge, forcing her to stay in the position of Young Madam Zhou and endure the humiliation.

"Weiwei, if you’re willing, I can help you," Meng Qiancheng’s deep voice resonated beside her ear, carrying a hint of subtle temptation.

Cheng Zhiwei silently shook her head; she had already involved Xu Tian and He Ye, and she didn’t want to drag Meng Qiancheng into this as well.

Meng Qiancheng swallowed the words he was about to say, smiled gently, and ruffled Cheng Zhiwei’s hair, "I’ll listen to Weiwei."

After completing the nebulization treatment, Cheng Zhiwei felt much better, although she still couldn’t make any sound.

Meng Qiancheng took her to the police station, but unfortunately, after a long attempt at communication, Cheng Zhiwei didn’t get to see Xu Tian. He Ye sighed, "Zhou Lin is determined to give Xu Tian a lesson this time."

Xu Tian’s mouth had never spared Zhou Lin; Zhou Lin had long found it unbearable.

"I’ve already informed her father, hopefully, the Xu Family can come to a good resolution with Zhou Lin," He Ye added.

Yet, Cheng Zhiwei held no hope. Xu Tian might seem to have a decent life, but she was actually the Xu Family’s illegitimate daughter. Zhou Lin had accused Xu Tian of being ill-mannered, precisely because she was forcefully brought back to the Xu Family, having grown up without her mother around, and Madam Xu despised her like a thorn in her eye.

Madam Xu wouldn’t miss the chance to crush Xu Tian like this.
