After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 148

Qiao Yi's hand was still suspended in midair. If it weren't for Lu Yanming's existence, she might have even been moved by Yu Sheng's words. Every sentence was genuine and heartfelt. Every sentence showed it came from the bottom of his heart. But now Li Zhen already had Lu Yanming...

Qiao Yi retracted her hand frozen in midair, and secretly glanced at Lu Yanming. Lu Yanming was leaning back comfortably into the sofa holding his phone, his posture noble, and he let out a short, mocking laugh, "President Yu, what were you saying just now? I didn't quite catch that."

Silence on the other end.

Lu Yanming glanced at the darkening light outside, a cold gleam under the gold wire-rimmed glasses, his tone casual and indifferent, "My wife went out to buy deer tendon for me. If President Yu has something to say, I can pass it on."

Qiao Yi and Meng Yuanjie looked at each other, neither daring to breathe a word. President Lu was blatantly provoking President Yu!

Two seconds of silence on the other end.

Then came a low, sinister cold laugh.

Laughing was much more frightening than not laughing at all.

Yu Sheng squeezed out three words from his throat, syllable by syllable, "Lu. Yan. Ming?"

"That's me, Zhen Zhen's husband, her lawful partner written on our marriage certificate," Lu Yanming's soft facial contours were now sharp and keen. "President Yu, I deeply regret that I'm only formally introducing myself to you today."

"After all, Zhen Zhen and I have been married for 52 days already."

Li Yanran gave a cold laugh as she hung up the phone.

She had been calling Yu Sheng but he hadn't been picking up. It wasn't until Yu Sheng seemed to have been on a very long call that his line was busy.

After he finished that call, he finally answered hers.

She simply and directly told him that Li Zhen had come to the Li family home today, and something fishy was going on. He should come take a look.

Li Yanran called Lin Zhiyin again when she saw Li Zhen and Li Yinnan coming downstairs. Only then did she hurriedly return from the balcony to the living room.

Li Zhen was holding a share transfer agreement. It was now in effect, so whether the final change procedures were fast or slow wouldn't impact the outcome anymore.

She was in good spirits, even walking with a slight bounce. But remembering there was still a baby in her belly, she carefully slowed her steps.

Li Yinnan watched with amusement and gently said, "Zhen'er is truly becoming a mother. For the child, you know to be careful and cautious now."

Li Zhen gave Li Yinnan a fleeting glance, not wanting to talk to him.

From now on, she didn't want too much interaction with Li Yinnan.

Li Yanran's pupils quivered as she stood up abruptly from the living room sofa, "What, Li Zhen is pregnant?!"

Li Yinnan lightly scolded, "How can you address someone like that? Call her sister, or your brother-in-law will think our family has no etiquette if he hears."

Li Yanran shouted, "But...but Dad! Li Zhen and Brother Yu are already divorced. They've been separated for some time now. How could Li Zhen have gotten pregnant?!"

Li Zhen thought this was bad.

How did Li Yanran know about her divorce from Yu Sheng!

Li Yinnan's brows furrowed deeply. "Zhen'er, is this true or false?"

He didn't quite believe it. His intuition told him Yu Sheng's attitude toward Li Zhen didn't seem like one of divorce.

The abnormal atmosphere made Zhang Xiya aware something was off. She immediately stood up and walked worriedly toward Li Zhen.

"Li Yanran, what nonsense are you spewing? How could I possibly divorce Yu Sheng?" Li Zhen tightened her grip on the contract in her hand and calmly walked toward Zhang Xiya.

She had painstakingly schemed for two months. Now she just needed to ensure the safety of this contract and prevent Li Yinnan from reacting and forcibly taking it back.

She could stop hiding her divorce from Yu Sheng later on, but not right now!

She knew they might not be able to stall for even a few minutes, but a few minutes was enough for the contract to be secured.

Li Zhen seemingly casually stuffed the contract into Zhang Xiya's bag, speaking fast and low, "Take this chance to leave. You must hold onto the contract."

Zhang Xiya gave a slight nod, her heart racing rapidly. The situation seemed even worse than it appeared.

Li Yanran's gaze remained fixed on the contract. "Li Zhen, are you trying to let..."

Li Zhen quickly walked up to Li Yanran and slapped her hard across the face. "You directly call me Li Zhen? What did Lin Zhiyin teach you! Don't you know how to call me sister?!"

Li Yanran clutched her face. The slap had abruptly jolted her train of thought. "Li Zhen! You, you hit me..."

"That's right, I hit you! Weren't you calling me sister so sweetly when you slipped me drugs that day! Two-faced schemer, you deserved this slap!" Li Zhen scolded while keeping the corner of her eye on Zhang Xiya.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being on Li Zhen, Zhang Xiya slowly made her way out and finally ran off.

Li Yinnan was successfully led astray by Li Zhen's words to focus on another point. "Ran'er! You slipped your sister drugs? How could you do something like this! Do you know how serious the consequences would be if your brother-in-law found out?!"

Li Yanran gritted her teeth. "Li Zhen, you clearly said you wouldn't bring up this matter again if I gave you the password to the house!"

Li Yinnan: ......

Why did Li Zhen want the password to the house?

What on earth was going on with his two daughters?!

"Sorry, I just can't trust two-faced tea girls. Don't use morals to bind me!" Li Zhen shrugged indifferently, the bright eyes still carrying a cold smile. "I have no morals when it comes to you, so don't expect me to be bound by morals!"

Li Yanran was furious to the point of dying.

Zhang Xiya had already been gone for a while. Li Zhen didn't want to keep entangling with the Li family anymore and lifted her foot to leave.

But her path was blocked by a figure.

Lin Zhiyin, dressed in elegant plain colored silks, was refined and graceful. Raising her eyes slightly, her gentle gaze fell upon Li Zhen. "Zhen'er, it's been a long time."

It really had been a long time.

Li Zhen looked coldly at Lin Zhiyin.

Lin Zhiyin was always at the Buddhist temple at Longquan Mountain. She had rarely stayed at the Li house in recent years, only coming back for important matters occasionally.

Li Zhen certainly hadn't expected Lin Zhiyin to come back today.

Li Zhen casually ridiculed, "Lin Zhiyin, have you struck the wooden fish enough in recent years? Done too many shady things, so accumulating virtues through good deeds doesn't come easy?"

Li Yanran immediately bristled, "Li Zhen! Don't talk to my mother like that!"

"Zhen'er still speaks so directly. It shows life hasn't worn down her sharp edges yet, very good." A loving smile graced Lin Zhiyin's face. Time had not left any marks on her face, only a mature woman's charm.

Li Zhen only felt Lin Zhiyin's act was truly tiring. "Thanks, I'll take that as praise. Since the pleasantries are over, please make way now..."

The door to the Li family villa was wide open.

Li Zhen skirted around Lin Zhiyin standing at the entrance.

Lin Zhiyin gently said, "Zhen'er, wait a moment..."

The next second, several brawny men blocked the doorway, once again obstructing Li Zhen's path.

Li Zhen's brows slightly creased as she turned to face Lin Zhiyin directly. "What are you waiting for? If it's for you to transcend the mortal world on a crane, I'd be happy to wait."

"Zhen'er, you should also speak more gently in the future. After all, you're about to become a mother. You need to teach by example for your child. Also, too much anger is bad for the unborn baby." Lin Zhiyin's voice was gentle and affectionate as her fingertips lightly caressed the Buddhist prayer beads.

Then, she serenely looked behind Li Zhen.

"Little Yu, you agree don't you?"
