Free Web NovelChapter 750: Chapter 48: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Abused Heroine
Fu Lihan invited her?
What nonsense!
"It’s clearly you who clung to him! As a woman, I really think you’re shameless. Li Han has rejected you so many times, yet you still won’t give up!
Sun Zhi, can you have some dignity and stop coveting someone else’s things all day?!"
Sun Zhi stepped forward and, leveraging her height advantage, looked down at her, then raised her hand and slapped Zhao Zhaozhao straight across the face.
The empty corridor fell silent.
The secretary bowed her head, pretending not to see.
Zhao Zhaozhao’s face was slapped to the side, and she instinctively covered her cheek, glaring fiercely at Sun Zhi, screaming angrily. freewёbnoνel.com
"You dare hit me? You still dare to hit me in our company?!"
As she said this, she rushed forward to tear into Sun Zhi, but before she could touch the other’s clothes, she was pushed aside with force.
"Stop this nonsense!!"
The man’s voice was angry and volatile.
Zhao Zhaozhao staggered several steps, almost falling.
Turning around to see who pushed her, her pupils trembled, and she stopped breathing.
"Fu Lihan... what do you mean?!!"
Pushing her for another woman?!
Fu Lihan merely glanced at her and then turned to face Sun Zhi, speaking in a voice that was calm yet carried a touch of politeness.
"I’m sorry for today’s incident. I’ll make sure to discipline her appropriately when I get back.
So about today’s matter, you can consider it again when you go back."
"No need to consider. The thing I hate most is people who can’t see the situation clearly and don’t know their priorities.
So, Sun Family will never cooperate with Fu Family again, got it?
Oh, right, I heard about your bribery scandal; it’s been exposed. The person has been arrested, so you’d better figure out a way to protect yourself.
Forget about making money, you should think more about how to avoid going to jail!"
After saying this, Sun Zhi laughed and left with her bag.
The laughter was very unrestrained, rendering everyone silent.
Fu Lihan stood there, his tall figure enveloped in a cold aura, looking at the ground with no sign of movement.
Beside him, Zhao Zhaozhao was also frightened by Sun Zhi’s words.
She shakily got up, gently patting Fu Lihan’s clothing.
"Li Han, what did she mean by what she just said? What bribery... what jail time...
Was she trying to scare us with those words?"
"Shut up."
"I was just concerned about you, why are you so impatient with me now!"
"I said!! Shut up!!"
Fu Lihan suddenly raised his head, looking fiercely at Zhao Zhaozhao, his voice so suppressed it was almost suffocating.
"If it weren’t for you, that piece of land wouldn’t have ended up in Jiang Lai’s hands!
If it weren’t for you, our Fu Family wouldn’t have become the target of everyone!
Now just shut up! Stop bothering me!"
His voice was so loud, it made one’s ears hurt.
Zhao Zhaozhao opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word for a long time, looking somewhat pitiful and pathetic.
But Fu Lihan couldn’t be as patient as before to comfort her.
Because he truly was in bad luck.
The bridge he had invested heavily in was found to have quality issues and needed to be reworked, but due to Fu Family’s financial crisis, the project was handed over to Lu Family.
The initial investment was all for nothing, and moreover, they faced investigations, with even the slightest mistake leading to imprisonment.
Additionally, the unsavory deeds done by Fu Lihan’s ancestors and elders for business were unearthed with the fall of a prominent leader, involving sums of up to hundreds of millions.
If the evidence holds, Fu Lihan’s prison sentence is certain.
At this time, he thought of seeking help from Sun Family, asking them to lend money at least to solve the bridge issue first.
And then what just happened occurred.
For the first time in his life, Fu Lihan humbled himself to beg for help, only to be humiliated and find no way out.
Because Sun Family and Lu Family made their opposition to Fu Family public, the wealthiest enterprises in the city opposed Fu Family, and the remaining companies dared not step forward to help.
Thus, in this crisis, Fu Lihan found himself without anyone to turn to.
Just like that, one afternoon during a meeting, Fu Lihan was taken away by the police.
Soon after, Fu Family began internal restructuring just to try to save itself.
Unfortunately, with the fall of the wall, everyone was waiting to take a piece of the pie from Fu Family’s collapse.
So Fu Family didn’t last long before declaring bankruptcy.
And immediately after, it was forcefully acquired by Lu Family, turning it into a subsidiary of Lu’s Enterprise.
The collapse of a skyscraper, from start to finish, took only six months.
Fu Family had done too many bad things, with so much evidence, that Fu Lihan’s chance of getting out in this lifetime is slim.
As for the remaining Fu Family members, each ran away or sneaked off, too ashamed to stay in this place.
As the legal wife of Fu Lihan, Zhao Zhaozhao watched helplessly as all her assets were frozen, her wardrobe, bag, shoe, and watch collections, everything valuable was locked up.
She was left with nothing again.
But not entirely nothing.
She still had a child.
But due to the stress, the child was born prematurely, and before she could even open her eyes to see the child, the Fu Family had arranged to take the child away.
Her last support was gone.
At first, she thought as long as she had the child, the Fu Family wouldn’t ignore her.
Even in downfall, they had companies overseas; following them could still ensure a lifetime of comfort.
Now it all vanished, she lost her husband, child, and wealth. freēwēbnovel.com
A year ago, she was still basking in being the happiest woman in the world. In less than a year, her dream shattered, and she returned to being a wanderer in the city.

"Zhao Zhaozhao is having a tough time, used to spending lavishly, now when she returned to the sales office, no one could stand her."
Little Pudding kept up with reporting on the protagonists’ affairs.
Whether Jiang Lai listened or not, completing the work task was the priority.
"Hmm, let her be."
"Aren’t you afraid she’ll retaliate against you?"
"Let her try."
She couldn’t defeat her before, even with a strong backing, let alone Zhao Zhaozhao now.
Jiang Lai didn’t have the time to care about those people’s situations anymore.
She got accepted into graduate school and was busy with her studies lately.
With the protagonists detained and abandoned, Jiang Lai finally shook off her fate as a side character, having completed her task.
The forthcoming time was all hers, and Little Pudding usually logged off at such times, leaving Jiang Lai to her own devices.
Every day, Jiang Lai lived like an ordinary graduate student, eating, attending classes, and sleeping.
She traveled during breaks, spending the rest of her time at home watching TV or playing games.
