Chapter 134 - 134 134 Then She Wont Be Polite
?Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Then She Won’t Be Polite Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Then She Won’t Be Polite Xiao Yu felt utterly repulsed as he pieced together the truth.
Returning home to see Liu Shaoying’s face filled with an affectation of virtuousness, eagerly asking after his well-being, made him even more nauseated.
It was such a waste that this woman wasn’t acting.
That night, he pretended to have a headache and didn’t touch Liu Shaoying, because he was constantly observing her expressions, he noticed she let out a sigh of relief.
That made him even more suspicious.
He wanted to get to the bottom of it and was even more reluctant to touch her afterward, so he deliberately called the staff at the branch office, fabricating an issue.
He used company business as an excuse to go abroad for over a month.
Upon his return, he was told there was a surprise waiting for him at home.
Then his parents, ecstatic and overjoyed, told him that Liu Shaoying was pregnant and that they were going to have a grandson.
He was completely dumbfounded at the time, which meant not only had he been cuckolded, but he was also to “joyfully become a father.”
After Liu Shaoying became pregnant, he suggested sleeping in separate rooms under the pretext of caring for her health.
He then covertly continued his search to find who the adulterous lover was, but to his surprise, he could find no trace at all.
Having someone follow Liu Shaoying also yielded no results, which constantly made him feel that something was off.
He was especially repulsed by that child, but he never considered getting rid of the child; he planned to conduct a paternity test as soon as the child was born.
After all, he hadn’t found evidence of Liu Shaoying’s infidelity. He had been drinking that night, and so much time had passed that he figured speaking out would probably lack credibility.
As long as he could prove the child wasn’t his, he would file for divorce and demand an explanation from the Liu Family.
Who would have thought that two months later, Liu Shaoying accidentally stumbled and miscarried.
She fainted from crying at the time, clearly deeply caring about the child.
He wanted to use the embryo to conduct a paternity test, but he was too late; the hospital said it had already been disposed of. How could they be that quick? He was sure it was no coincidence.
At that time, the joint project between the Liu and Xiao families had reached a critical point, so he had to suppress his issues.
Every day, seeing Liu Shaoying’s self-blaming and sorrowful demeanor made him feel repulsed, so to disgust her in return, he began to philander.
And indeed, she was repulsed. Liu Shaoying came to him to cause a scene and even went after the “mistress” and “the other woman.”
He could tell that Liu Shaoying’s actions weren’t out of love for him but were purely driven by possessiveness and the desire to save face, so he philandered even more freely.
As for the women Liu Shaoying confronted, he couldn’t be bothered with them.
After all, they deserve no sympathy for being beaten when they knew he was married yet still threw themselves at him for money.
And although he had never touched them, he had given them plenty of money. If they had issues and didn’t cross certain lines, he was willing to lend a hand.
Having received benefits, they ought to be ready to handle such troubles.
Thus, within a year, Liu Shaoying went from a gentle and virtuous woman to an irrational shrew.
Of course, he suspected that her prior gentleness and virtuosity were all an act, and this was her true self.
He had suggested divorce, but Liu Shaoying refused and even ran back to her parents to tattle.
Consequently, the Liu Family came to talk to him, putting on a gracious front, saying they understood his affairs outside the marriage as men would, but divorce was absolutely not an option.
He was disgusted once again, but without evidence, and with her adamant refusal to divorce, he was temporarily at a loss.
So he continued to investigate the adulterous lover and couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something off about the Liu Family, so he kept an eye on them too.
“These matters, I didn’t even tell my parents, so it’s impossible for Luo Ning to have heard or found out about them.”
“That’s why I was so shocked; she was able to divine this.”
“Can you divine who the adulterer is?” This is what he most wanted to know.
Luo Ning shook her head, “I haven’t met your wife, so I can’t.”
Xiao Yu wasn’t disappointed, “Then can you see anything else?”
Luo Ning candidly replied, “I can also see that someone has cast a spell on you. If it weren’t for the protection of your good deeds, you and the Xiao Family’s luck would have benefitted someone else.”
Then, changing the subject, she added, “But the blessings from the good deeds and virtues accumulated by you and the Xiao Family have now been almost completely depleted. It won’t be long before something happens.”
Heaven has a virtue of loving life; the Xiao Family has done many good deeds, which is why Xiao Yu met her today, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Xiao Family.
Xiao Yu’s expression changed, “Are you saying that someone wants to steal the Xiao Family’s luck?”
Just as Luo Ning was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang.
She saw the call was from Liu Hongxue, so she excused herself and went outside to answer.
No sooner had she picked up the call than the other party asked, “Master Luo, have you offended Liu Shaoxian, the president of the Liu Group?”
Luo Ning honestly replied, “I’ve offended his woman.”
“I see,” Liu Hongxue continued, “His secretary just called me, saying he ordered me not to provide you with any medical materials or help.”
After finishing, she hurriedly explained, “Our Liu Family has some distant relatives in the family Liu Shaoxian belongs to, but we haven’t had much to do with them for a long time, so I definitely won’t listen to him.”
“I just wanted to give you a heads up to be careful of him; he’s quite ruthless in his dealings.”
Luo Ning accepted Liu Hongxue’s kindness, “Okay, thank you, Aunt Liu.”
After hanging up, Luo Ning returned, and Xiao Yu, unable to wait, looked at her, obviously wanting an answer.
Luo Ning sat down and said, “Yes, someone does want to steal the Xiao Family’s luck and transfer it to themselves.”
“Can you tell who it is?” Xiao Yu was a smart man, so he had some guesses.
Luo Ning replied, “To divert your family’s luck for their use, they need a medium, such as marital ties.”
Then she added meaningfully, “You can try to investigate the women from the Liu Family who have married out. Look into their current family’s state of affairs to see if they’re either on the brink of bankruptcy or gradually declining.”
Xiao Yu had never looked into this before, so he immediately called his assistant to investigate and asked for a prompt response.
This was not difficult; figuring out how many women from the Liu Family had married out, whom they had married, and their current circumstances would reveal everything.
While waiting, Luo Ning asked Xiao Yu, “Why did you suddenly think about keeping me?”
Xiao Yu said truthfully, “Liu Shaoxian invited me to dinner. He found out about Yu Chunjiao competing with you for the role of the second female and mentioned you are much more beautiful than her.”
“He suggested that instead of finding someone like Yu Chunjiao, I might as well keep you. As long as I offer you the role of the second female, you would definitely agree.”
He shrugged and continued, “I’m investigating the Liu Family, and it’s the first time Liu Shaoxian has suggested something like this to me in such matters, so I planned to go with the flow and see.”
“Of course, I really didn’t intend to touch you.”
“Just now, I offered to have you with me, and if you didn’t agree, I definitely wouldn’t have forced you.”
He further explained, “Those so-called women who have been with me, it’s always been mutual consent. I’ve never forced anyone.”
Luo Ning knew he was telling the truth and sneered internally.
It must be Bo Xiangxiang who had whispered in Liu Shaoxian’s ear, or else he wouldn’t know about her competing with Yu Chunjiao for the role of the second female.
However, since Liu Shaoxian has willingly approached her, she wouldn’t be polite.
