Chapter 135: Close Combat
er ready every day. We'll also keep the house clean for her, and even help her put her dirty clothes in the washing machine and tidy up. 。What he did has gone far beyond the scope of a friend with ben..."I don't know." Zhu Yu'an truly didn't know; he hadn't contacted Wen Jian.
"Well, you don't know anything," Shu Tinglan said sarcastically, nodding before turning and striding towards the Huala Entertainment Company. Her mood these past two days had been erratic, like being roasted over a fire. She already had a complete chain of evidence in her hands; all she had to do was make it public and Wen Jian would be ruined.
All she wanted was to ruin Wen Jian's reputation, but it would inevitably drag down Zhuo Yuan Technology and Zhuo Yu an. This gave her a moment of hesitation. She hadn't intended to hurt him; she knew that once certain lines were crossed, there would be no going back. What she had to do put her directly at odds with Zhuo Yu an, and despite herself, she couldn't help but feel reluctant.
When she was wavering, Lin Zhichen unusually didn't scold her, he just said very calmly.
"When you are reluctant to let go, might there be someone who feels sorry for you and cares about you"
"Wen Jian has done things to you, and you know it best in your heart. If you hadn't been so lucky, I wouldn't be here seeing you now, but visiting you at the cemetery on Qingming Festival."
"Given her vicious nature, do you think she'd let you go"
"Shushu, don't be too soft-hearted or naive. If you let her go, she won't let you go."
As Lin Zhixuan spoke, the calmness he had moments before vanished without a trace.
"I didn't want to let her go, I just..." she murmured.
“You’re just reluctant to let go of Zhuo Yu'an, aren’t you But have you ever considered whether he would put your interests first if you put his interests first If he truly prioritized you, how could he tolerate Wen Jian so much Shushu, I’ve always advised you to find a good love and enjoy life, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself for it. In this world, if you don’t cherish yourself and consider your own well-being, who else would truly love you”
"While loving others, first love yourself. For you are the most precious."
Of course Shu Tinglan understood these principles, but she would never forget that Zhuo Yunan had saved her life. Even considering this, when doing this, she thought she needed to have an honest and open conversation with Zhuo Yunan.
She asked Zhuo Yunan, "Do you know my relationship with Wen Jian"
This was probably her first time bringing up Wen Jian proactively with him.
"Well, I guessed a little." Zhuo Yuan said truthfully. He couldn't find any evidence about Wen Jian's true relationship with him, but he had an idea or two.
"She's my father's illegitimate daughter. Do you know how bold my father is He had her and her mother live across the street from us. He told everyone that her father was abroad. It's true, the most dangerous place is often the safest. We grew up together. My mother and I never suspected their identity. In fact, we took extra care of them because there was no male figure in their household."
Perhaps due to her upbringing, Wen Jian had been shrewd and kept her thoughts hidden from a young age. Many years later when she returned home, I realized that as long as she didn't cross me, I would never provoke her.
When she finished speaking, she paused, her gaze fixed on Zhuo Yu'an, hoping to find a clue in his expression. However, he was also a master of concealing his emotions; all that shone in his eyes was concern for her, but nothing else. He gently stroked her head, comforting her.
"Tinglan, it's all over now. In the future, I will be watching over you and won't let anyone bully you again."
Shu Tinglan looked at him, her eyes gradually turning cold, and asked in return.
“Are they really all gone Are they gone”
Her expression had turned icy, as if her previous honesty hadn't had any effect at all. She just stared at Zhuo Yu'an, her eyes filled with a menacing intensity.
Zuo Yu'an seemed to finally notice her emotions, and suddenly understood that she knew everything. His expression also became stiff.
"Tinglan, I'm not just standing by idly. I need time, and I need the right moment." He did everything carefully, making sure everything was foolproof.
But to Shu Tinglan, his caution was nothing but harboring. She pushed him away and stood up.
"So, you've known all along that my mental state before was Wen Jian's doing You know everything!" This time it was a hundred percent certain.
"I do know, but I didn't intend to cover it up, just waiting for the right opportunity." A company involves too many parties; he needs to proceed cautiously.
"Zuo Yu'an, I have no intention of harming you, but I must expose Wen Jian's actions. The reason I came to speak with you today is out of respect for our relationship. I need to let you know what I will be doing next. My actions will not be seeking your opinion or requiring your consent."
"Zhu Yu'an, I'm sorry, but I don't want to compromise myself for you. If you mind what I'm going to do, we can dissolve our engagement." Shu Tinglan had thought through all the worst possibilities, even having a divorce agreement in her bag. Her engagement with Zhu Yu'an was more like a plaything, but it was good that it was just a plaything, without any family disputes or property disputes on either side.
"Breaking off the engagement Over this Shu Tinglan, are you naive, or do you think I am For an irrelevant Wen Jian, I'm throwing away my hard-won marriage"
She couldn't tell what Zhu Yu'an was thinking at the moment. His expression and tone were both very calm when he said that, like he was just talking about the bad weather today.
Shu Tinglan silently put the divorce agreement back in her bag without taking it out.
"You can handle it however you want, I'll take care of everything that follows." He was still very calm. This whole thing was a ticking time bomb for Zhuyuan Technology, and it was his fault, something he owed her and needed to resolve sooner or later.
Shū Tīnglán didn't expect Zhuó Yǔān to agree so quickly, she couldn't help but look at him with some suspicion. She wondered what he was planning. After all, Zhuò Yuán Technology was the most important thing to him, and she didn't believe he would just ignore it.
Zuo Yu'an saw the suspicion in her expression and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"What are you looking at If I go bankrupt later, you'll have to support me!"
"Alright, I'll take care of you."
At his so cooperative attitude, Shu Tinglan almost wanted to give up for a moment, thought it over and decided not to. It was too cruel.
Lin Zhihao cursed loudly.
"This is where his cunning lies. He retreats to advance, don't fall for it."
“I know.”
She would be soft-hearted towards Zhu Yu, but she would never show mercy to Wen Jian. If she was going to punish her, she had to go all out.
Lin Zhi's familiar with various online promotion methods, for Shu Tinglan, who is new to the internet, he opened anonymous accounts on different platforms.
"You explain the whole story clearly, and put up the evidence and videos. I'll handle the rest, including broadcasting and hype."
Shu Tinglan didn't want to go the route of online publicity. She wanted to sue Wen Jian through legal means and make her pay for her responsibilities.
Lin Zhixuan's Path
"Through legal means, what if you win At most, Wen Jianzhi will have to pay a small amount of economic compensation. It won't affect her reputation at all, she can still run around freely. This scratch on the surface is nothing compared to doing nothing at all."mpany where it would be easily discovered, she changed it to a WeChat chat interface. 。Give me your phone. 。She asked Shi Yan for her phone. 。Shi Yan immediately handed her his phone. 。"Your phone's g...
