Chapter 289 Pretense
Upon hearing what Wang Guixiang said, Zhao Guangchen's entire face changed.
He had not expected his wife to bring up this issue proactively.
It was just too good, he was still pondering over how to broach the subject.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Unexpectedly, without lifting a finger, his wife took the initiative to speak.
Indeed, he must possess a certain charm, otherwise why would his wife have stayed so loyally by his side for so long?
"Honestly, honey, I'm really happy that you feel this way; you're right, the company's situation is indeed not very good. If you're willing to let your family help our company, I am ready to give you 20% of the shares."
20% of the shares was a considerable amount, but Wang Guixiang was not ready to let it rest at that.
She was determined to make Zhao Guangchen pay the price he deserved; otherwise, she would never feel at peace.
At this moment, Zhao Guangchen still had no realization of the seriousness of the situation.
He continued to feel very confident in his charm, otherwise why would his wife be willing to remain such a big fool?
"If you talk like that, you're being too formal. Aren't we husband and wife? Helping you is what I should do. Besides, I have put my heart and soul into that company as well, so you don't need to worry about me not helping you."
As she spoke, not a hint of a smile crossed Wang Guixiang's face, but Zhao Guangchen didn't think much of it.
After all, he had done so many wrongful things to his wife before; it was only right for her to be a little angry.
Even at this point, Zhao Guangchen hadn't started thinking about the possibility of divorce.
"Wife, only now do I realize how good you've been to me; all those other people were just after my money. Don't worry, once we get through this tough time, I will never make the same mistakes again. I promise to live a good life with you and properly guide our children as they grow."
This statement, in fact, indirectly admitted that he had multiple affairs in the past.
But now he had seen the error of his ways and knew that his wife was the best.
In reality, he didn't understand that all these sweet nothings were just meant to ensure Wang Guixiang would wholeheartedly help him.
"It's great that you can think like this. Come eat, we didn't know when you'd be back, so the two of us have already eaten."
Wang Guixiang replied perfunctorily, then went back to her room with her child.
Zhao Guangchen ate at the dining table with indifference.
As long as he could get the help from Wang Guixiang's family, he didn't care even if it meant eating leftovers.
After finishing his meal, he didn't even consider doing the dishes to make a good impression but went straight back to his room.
Who knew that Wang Guixiang had already locked the door from the inside?
He couldn't understand what Wang Guixiang meant by this. Could it be that she still hadn't forgiven him?
"Wife, why have you locked the door? I haven't gone in yet. I haven't seen the child for such a long time; I'd like to talk to him, is that okay?"
"It's too late now. We should sleep in separate rooms from now on. I've been feeling a little unwell lately. If I sleep with you, I'm afraid it'll affect you."
Wang Guixiang had no desire to continue sharing a bed with this hypocritical man, so she had already prepared her excuses.
"Wife, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel uncomfortable? Should we see a doctor? And why are you shutting me out like this? Even if you don't want to sleep with me, you should at least let me see our child, right? I haven't seen our son in such a long time."
Now he thinks to see his own son? Where was he before? Wasn't he happily fooling around with other women?
This time, Wang Guixiang had made up her mind; she definitely wouldn't let Zhao Guangchen in.
She wouldn't give Zhao Guangchen any chance. As soon as she got the information she wanted, she would immediately divorce Zhao Guangchen and leave him with nothing.
"It's late, you should go to sleep too. Just sleep in the guest room next door. If you come home early in the future, remember to tell me, otherwise I won't know to save your dinner."
No matter how Zhao Guangchen knocked on the door, Wang Guixiang ignored him.
Wang Guixiang cuddled with her son and told him a bedtime story.
With a confused expression, her son asked his mother what was going on between her and dad?
Did dad really start a new family outside? Does he not want him anymore?
"Don't overthink it. Dad and I indeed have some conflicts, but it's nothing too serious. Oh, son, if you had to choose between dad and me, who would you want to live with?" Stay updated via empire
"Of course with mom. I don't spend much time with dad, so why would I choose him? Mom, you're not really going to divorce dad, are you? I know dad might not be that great, but if you guys divorce, does that mean I won't have a dad anymore?"
Her son's innocent words caught Wang Guixiang off guard.
She had always been thinking about herself and forgot to consider her son.
Right, what would happen to the child after they divorce?
Would the child be able to accept being part of a single-parent family?
However, she didn't want her child to suffer with Zhao Guangchen, so it was best for the child to be with her.
After all, being with Zhao Guangchen, who knows when there would be a stepmother.
"Even if you have no dad, you still have me. And since you barely see dad anyway, what's the difference? Alright, let's not talk about this, it's too depressing. Let me read you a bedtime story, and then we'll go to sleep, okay?"
After Wang Guixiang got her son to sleep, Zhao Guangchen tossed and turned in the guest room, unable to sleep.
Then Lin Yi actually made a phone call to him, which instantly energized Zhao Guangchen.
"Lin Yi, you dare to call me? You've really done me in, haven't you? Vanishing off to open a pharmacy without a word, you really don't take me seriously. But do you think you can replace me just like that? You're too naive!"
After answering the call, Zhao Guangchen cursed Lin Yi out.
Lin Yi cleared his ears before bringing the phone back to his ear.
"If you keep talking this nastily, then I might not be able to continue this conversation with you."
"What more is there to say? I've already been ruined by you. Lin Yi, I will not let this go; you think you can defeat me? Impossible. Let me tell you, I'll make a comeback soon, and at that time, I'll make sure you're kneeling at my feet begging for mercy!"
Lin Yi had never intended to oppose Director Zhao; it was Zhao who concocted the idea of Lin Yi being his adversary.
What do you think?
