Let's Divorce As Agreed

Qin Zhen frowned upon hearing this. “Him? Why would you even think of him? Isn’t he gone? I heard he returned with a limp, using a wheelchair. Does he even have the leisure to bother with us?”

Charlene nodded in agreement. It made sense. He had his own problems to deal with, so why would he bother seeking revenge on them?

“But if it’s not him, then who else could it be?” Charlene racked her brains. Recently, they had only offended Gu Shaoting.

“I’ll have someone investigate. It’s outrageous. Who dares to meddle with me?” Qin Zhen’s tone turned harsh, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Charlene had never seen him look like this before. Why did he suddenly seem so unfamiliar?

Glancing at him, Charlene said, “Okay, I also want to find out who’s behind this.”

Feeling frustrated after hitting a dead end with Qin Zhen, Charlene left. Qin Zhen, preoccupied with his own affairs, paid her no mind. His career was his top priority.

Feeling helpless after her encounter with Qin Zhen, Charlene had no idea what to do next.

Mr. John initially thought it was just normal business conduct. But then came more contract terminations and failed negotiations, one after another. He began to suspect someone was intentionally targeting him.

Just as he was about to start investigating, Qin Zhen had already found out: it was orchestrated by Gu Shaoting.

When Charlene heard this news, she was stunned. She hadn’t expected Gu Shaoting’s company to bounce back so quickly and to seek revenge on them.

“What do we do now?” Charlene, lacking experience in such matters, began to panic.

Her father still had no idea that her actions had angered Gu Shaoting and led to this calamity.

“How would I know what to do?” Qin Zhen snapped impatiently. It was because of this woman that he was in this mess.

“But…” Charlene hesitated, unable to voice her frustration.

“Now that Gu Shaoting isn’t here, his power shouldn’t be underestimated. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bounced back to normal so quickly,” Qin Zhen analyzed. He regretted provoking Gu Shaoting. He used to think of him as a paper tiger, only to realize he was a formidable opponent.

With his family business now taking a hit, the consequences would be dire if his family found out it was his doing.

Charlene stared at him, realizing she had misjudged this man. She had thought he was dependable, only to find him utterly helpless in the face of adversity.

Back home, Charlene had no choice but to confide in John.

Needless to say, John was furious. He regretted spoiling her so much.

He couldn’t believe she dared to provoke Gu Shaoting.

Everyone knew how terrifying he could be when angered and how ruthless his revenge could be.

“You…,” John was at a loss for words.

“Daddy, I know I messed up. Why don’t you call and explain to him?” Charlene suggested, knowing her father and Gu Shaoting had some acquaintance. Perhaps he could pull some strings.

“Last time, when he was in trouble, I didn’t lend a hand. Do you think I can now go crawling to him for help?” John sighed heavily.

That’s just the way it is. He brought it upon himself.

Charlene felt a sense of despair. If things continued like this, their family would truly face bankruptcy. She couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences.

No, she couldn’t afford to be passive. She had to call him.

True to her word, Charlene took out her phone and dialed Gu Shaoting’s number.

But there was no answer, and it was redirected to the secretary’s desk.

Charlene slumped on the couch, feeling defeated.
