Free Web NovelChapter 748: Chapter 46: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Abused Heroine
As the deeply emotional yet vicious second female lead of this story, Sun Zhi undoubtedly has some obsession with the male protagonist.
But now the male protagonist has brought his mistress to humiliate her publicly. Even if she wanted to persist, the Sun Family couldn’t afford the disgrace.
The once grandly announced wedding date, wedding photos, and invitations have all become a joke.
Despite all this, the Fu Family is forcefully trying to retain Sun Zhi, insisting that Fu Lihan will leave the other woman, and if Sun Zhi just bears with it for a bit, she can turn a blind eye, and the wedding can continue, keeping the two families as in-laws.
Sun Zhi wasn’t willing at all.
She’s not an idiot. Fu Lihan’s actions are a slap in her face; if he had any feelings for her at all, he wouldn’t have brought someone home right before the wedding.
The engagement was off, and the Sun Family publicly declared that there would be no further interaction with the Fu Family.
Moreover, several large projects that depended on connections with the Sun Family lost multiple investors due to this fallout, resulting in a broken financial chain that led the Fu Family’s business to decline.
Of course, this wasn’t fatal to the Fu Family, given their previous stature.
Seeing the Sun Family cancelling several previous project collaborations back to back, the Fu Family could still cope, making Fu Lihan increasingly disdainful of the Sun Family’s antics.
Because Zhao Zhaozhao had attempted suicide in front of him last time, when she woke up, she reconciled with Fu Lihan and kept tearfully expressing how much she missed him during that time.
As for her injuries, Zhao Zhaozhao claimed she had no idea; she said she had been staying with Jiang Lai during that period and suddenly fainted one day, waking up injured and abandoned in an abandoned factory.
While saying this, she didn’t notice Fu Lihan’s increasingly dark and cold gaze towards her.
Recently, Zhao Zhaozhao’s life had been going well because Fu Lihan’s actions allowed her to move into the Fu Family’s villa, frequently seeing Mr. and Mrs. Fu.
Although Mrs. Fu occasionally made things difficult for her, her attitude changed significantly when Zhao Zhaozhao became pregnant.
Though still distant, she at least instructed the maid to prepare some nourishing supplements and accompanied her to medical check-ups, subtly asking the doctor about the baby’s gender.
Due to this child, Fu Lihan immediately registered their marriage.
When Mr. and Mrs. Fu found out, it was too late, no matter how furious they were.
"No matter what, I will take full responsibility for everything, and I am capable of doing so.
Now that you are getting older, you should stop worrying about company matters, and don’t trouble Zhaozhao too much since she’s not feeling well recently.
Don’t worry, even without the Sun Family’s help, I can still make the company thrive."
After a domineering statement, the next day, he saw in the financial news that the government had designated the South Island as a key economic development zone and planned to develop it into a new financial trade city, bringing in world-class technology to make it Sea City’s Silicon Valley.
The news was too sudden.
There was no warning at all.
Fu Lihan initially thought it was fake news from some unreliable media, but then he saw it was released by an official account.
Then, looking at the location highlighted in the zone.
Three months ago, the land he gave to Jiang Lai for free had become the central area.
And surrounding that area, the Lu Family had gradually bought it all up.
Which means, the key development area of Sea City, is on the Lu Family’s territory...
"Bang—!!"
The cup in his hand was slammed against the wall.
Glass shards scattered everywhere in an instant. freewebnøvel.com
Damn Jiang Lai, no wonder she asked for an uninhabited island; it turns out she knew insider information and foresaw that the island’s land price would skyrocket!
Now that the government plan is out, companies wanting to move to the island will surely flock!
By then, with the Lu Family holding this land, they could sell it at any price depending on their mood!
He was deceived!!
He suffered a huge loss!! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
This is not just a loss of a few billion, but it could be tens of billions!!
Fu Lihan had never suffered such a great loss in his life, not to mention he had already been tricked by Jiang Lai twice!
Rage coursed through his body; he could hardly think calmly.
Right now, at this critical moment, with the Lu Family ahead and the Sun Family behind, both eyeing him greedily.
If he hadn’t given that land to Jiang Lai, he could very well be the richest man in the city by now!
His tight financial chain could be relieved; he wouldn’t have to work around the clock, and his planned projects could start sooner.
"Jiang Lai... Jiang Lai..."
She actually swindled nearly ten billion worth of land from him, and he had given it all unsuspectingly!
This thought clung to him like a bone-deep parasite, impossible to shake off, intertwining the regret of loss and the anger of being conned, just as his phone chimed.
Looking down, a consumption statement arrived.
A certain department store’s certain counter, expenditure: 1.74 million yuan.
Such a long string of numbers attached itself snake-like to Fu Lihan’s heart.
Over a million.
Zhao Zhaozhao used his secondary card to spend over a million at just one store!
He’s currently struggling for financing, needing to drink a few more rounds with partners to secure an additional million.
Yet Zhao Zhaozhao casually spent it.
In the evening, Zhao Zhaozhao got excitedly off the nanny car and directly approached Fu Lihan with a sigh to complain.
"I’ve suffered to give you a child; today the nutritionist said I lost weight because your son absorbed all the nutrients!
What do you plan to do to repay me for making me suffer so much?"
Fu Lihan looked at her expressionlessly.
"You spent three million today, what did you buy."
There were two stores, one selling branded bags, and the other a jewelry store.
In the past, three million wouldn’t have mattered to Fu Lihan; if Zhao Zhaozhao spent it, so be it, and he wouldn’t say a word.
But now, the company is in dire straits, and money is essential.
He’s the company’s owner, responsible for its profits and losses, so all his money belongs to the company now.
He’s mentioned it to Zhao Zhaozhao more than once; with current financial constraints, daily life is sustainable, but extra high expenses have to be monitored.
Zhao Zhaozhao casually brushed it off with "you’re stingy after marrying me" and continued her spending.
Completely different from the girl before marriage who was reluctant to spend his money.
Zhao Zhaozhao didn’t expect Fu Lihan to specifically bring up spending.
She wasn’t guilty at all, feeling his tone’s questioning and even a bit of anger.
