In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

Chapter 28 -28: So What If She Did It?

“I don’t even know if it’s true or not, we were talking just fine before, and now suddenly it’s like this,” Liang Shiyu said, her eyes downcast, her expression slightly crestfallen.

“How could she do this? It’s not your fault at all!” Xiao Tang said indignantly.

Liang Shiyu remained silent, her aggrieved demeanor fully displayed.

“Sister Liang, don’t be sad, you deserve better!” Xiao Tang quickly comforted Liang Shiyu.

“It actually makes sense, I heard Chairman Xu only has Miss Xu as a daughter, and she will eventually take over the Xu Group.”

“My relationship with Lin Chuan made her unhappy; it’s normal she wouldn’t want the Xu Group to collaborate with me.”

All Liang Shiyu did was offer Xiao Tang a very forced smile in return, yet that very expression made Xiao Tang feel extremely uncomfortable.

“But how is that related to you? If she really gets engaged to Mr. Xie, doesn’t that make her the other woman?” Xiao Tang said angrily.

Xiao Tang was Liang Shiyu’s brainless fan; previously Liang Shiyu’s agent organized a small event that worked as a perk for the fans, choosing one among them to be Liang Shiyu’s assistant.

Xiao Tang was the lucky one selected, starting as Liang Shiyu’s assistant a month ago.

Though it was said to be a selection from a crowd of fans, it actually wasn’t; Xiao Tang was carefully chosen by Liang Shiyu.

Having interacted with Xiao Tang several times, despite Xiao Tang being an orphan and essentially no help at work, Xiao Tang was utterly obedient to Liang Shiyu.

For some reason, that’s why Liang Shiyu chose her, always feeling deep down a voice telling her that Xiao Tang was a great choice, that she wouldn’t regret choosing Xiao Tang.

Just now, Liang Shiyu couldn’t exactly explain why she said what she did, she just wanted to make the other party feel she was wronged.

And now she had achieved her goal.

Liang Shiyu whispered, “What mistress or not, Lin Chuan and I have already broken up.”

Meanwhile, at the Xu Group, Zhuang Jingxiang made a call to Xu Jinzhi, “Mr. Xu, she has been refused.”

“Thanks,” Xu Jinzhi said nonchalantly, as if it were just a trivial matter.

“But when she left, she asked me if it was because of Miss Xu.” Zhuang Jingxiang didn’t conceal anything, telling Xu Jinzhi everything, “She seems to know it was your idea.”

Hearing this, Xu Jinzhi paused for a moment, but quickly resumed her usual indifferent demeanor, “So she knows, so what?”

So what if it was her doing?

After all, in her previous life, she never got along well with Lin Chuan and Liang Shiyu as a couple, and this life would be no different.

“Okay, I just wanted to inform you about this,” Zhuang Jingxiang said.

“Alright,” Xu Jinzhi hung up the phone.

Afterward, she didn’t move, sitting there, unable to help but wonder what kind of expression Liang Shiyu might be wearing at the moment.

In her previous life, Liang Shiyu had always held a sanctimonious and arrogant attitude in her presence, as if marrying Lin Chuan was something incredibly beneath her.

Yet in front of others, she always managed to appear oppressed and grievously wronged.

Thinking of Liang Shiyu’s rapidly changing expressions was enough to make Xu Jinzhi want to laugh.

After laughing for a while, Xu Jinzhi shook her head and pushed that person to the back of her mind, starting to busily immerse herself in the work at hand.

The next day.

After finishing her busy morning, Xu Jinzhi left the company but did not go to see Xie Yanchuan. Instead, she went to the airport to pick up Song You.

Song You’s flight arrived today, and Xu Jinzhi kept her promise, bringing along two bags and a bouquet of flowers to the airport to meet her.

When she saw Song You, Xu Jinzhi excitedly waved her hand, shouting, “Over here!”

Song You waved back at Xu Jinzhi and hurried over, not stopping until she was right in front of her.

“Welcome back!” Xu Jinzhi handed Song You the flowers and then gave her a big hug.

Being embraced by Xu Jinzhi, Song You asked with a somewhat amused and baffled expression, “Why are you so excited today?”

The two had grown up together, sharing a bond that was incomparable to others, and because they grew up together, Song You knew Xu Jinzhi very well.

Today, Xu Jinzhi was clearly overenthusiastic, looking a bit too excited.

“I haven’t seen you in a month, shouldn’t I be happy?” Even though she knew her behavior was a bit odd at the moment, Xu Jinzhi still didn’t let go of Song You.

In her previous life, Song You had died several years before her, so seeing Song You now felt like a very long time for Xu Jinzhi.

“You’re not thinking of backing out and not giving me the bags, are you?” Song You guessed teasingly.

Only then did Xu Jinzhi let go of Song You, rolling her eyes playfully, “Can you not be so petty? Do I look like someone who’d begrudge giving someone a bag?”

“Who knows,” Song You retorted with a pout.

At this point, their friendly bickering as best friends ended, and Xu Jinzhi almost wished she could rush over and beat up Song You.

The two continued bickering and making a ruckus as they left the airport and got into the car. When Song You saw the bag she’d long coveted, she quickly grabbed it and began admiring it closely.

“How did your business trip go?” Xu Jinzhi asked casually as she drove.

“It went well,” Song You replied.

“That’s good.” Xu Jinzhi continued, “I’ve already started preparing for the wedding recently. I’ve just begun contacting people about the wedding dress, and you’re coming with me to choose it.”

“Are you asking me to help you pick out your wedding dress?” Although Song You really, really liked the bag in her hands, Xu Jinzhi was more important to her. Hearing Xu Jinzhi talk about the wedding, she immediately stopped looking at the bag in her lap.

“Help me figure out what suits me, and we also need to customize your bridesmaid dress,” Xu Jinzhi said.

Song You looked surprised, “My bridesmaid dress needs to be customized too? What if I steal the spotlight at the wedding?”

Xu Jinzhi was speechless for a moment, “You really know how to flatter yourself.”

Song You couldn’t help but laugh loudly, “But I am really pretty!”

The two continued their banter on their way to the restaurant. It wasn’t mealtime, but since Song You hadn’t eaten during her long flight, she was already hungry, so Xu Jinzhi decided to first take her to eat, filling their stomachs before anything else.

While dining, Song You started querying in detail about Xie Yanchuan.

Although Xu Jinzhi always pretended to be indifferent, when she spoke about Xie Yanchuan, she became much gentler, and even the corners of her eyes and brows carried an easily noticeable smile.
