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

The next day.

Xu Jinzhi had slept late the night before, and now she was woken up by the alarm clock ringing incessantly in her ears. With her eyes still closed, she groped for her phone and then promptly turned off the alarm.

The sound stopped abruptly, and Xu Jinzhi tossed the phone aside, lying motionless in bed as if she fell asleep again.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that Xu Jinzhi finally managed to open her eyes with difficulty, glanced at the time on her phone, and then swiftly sat up in bed. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Xu Jinzhi was truly exhausted, still feeling wearied even as she sat upright. If she had known, she wouldn’t have packed her schedule so full.

Yet, with her wedding just a few days away, she thought it wouldn’t hurt to suffer a little more.

After getting out of bed, she went to the bathroom to freshen up. Coming out dressed and ready to do her makeup, her phone received several messages in quick succession. Xu Jinzhi casually picked up her phone to check the unread messages, intending to see who had sent them.

However, as soon as Xu Jinzhi saw the message from Song You, she was already speechless.

God knows which busybody had posted about He Jingyi’s meltdown in the hotel lobby last night online. In just a few hours, Xu Jinzhi had become the villainess universally condemned by the netizens.

What kind of mess was this?

Xu Jinzhi responded to Song You’s message, and soon after, Song You’s voice message came through.

Song You was extremely excited, her tone lacking any concern, typically reveling in the commotion, "Swallow, what on earth happened to you?"

Listening to Song You’s tone that seemed to be taking pleasure in her distress, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t be bothered to entertain her and said exasperatedly, "What happened? Just get to work!"

After speaking, Xu Jinzhi tossed her phone aside and proceeded to apply her makeup. She was busy already and had no time to deal with such stupid affairs.

Nevertheless, Xu Jinzhi’s indifference did not mean the issue would go away, especially not on the internet, where the clueless netizens were causing a commotion.

A few knowledgeable people tried to clarify the situation online, only to be either scolded or completely ignored.

When Xu Jinzhi finished getting ready and came out of the guest room, she ran into Assistant Chen, who was just about to knock on the door. She spoke indifferently, "Let’s go."

Assistant Chen nodded, then looked at Xu Jinzhi seriously and said, "Mr. Xu, the video of Mr. He getting drunk last night has gone viral. How should we handle this?"

"Hmph," Xu Jinzhi sneered, "Of course whoever caused it should solve it. Don’t tell me I need to deal with it?"

She definitely wasn’t about to take the blame for this. If this affected the Xu Family’s share value, she was certainly going to give He Jingyi a piece of her mind!

Assistant Chen remained silent.

The group first went to the hotel for breakfast, and then they began their work for the day.

In City A, Xie Yanchuan had no clue what had happened. He hadn’t received a message from Xu Jinzhi in the morning and didn’t want to disturb her.

Instead, he got a message from Xue Hang.

"Professor! Someone’s trying to steal your lady!"

Xie Yanchuan felt puzzled listening to the voice message, but then he received a video. Not knowing what it was, he still clicked on it.

Afterwards, a man’s heart-wrenching voice was heard, followed by Xie Yanchuan seeing the man in the video and also spotting the figure of Xu Jinzhi.

The video was neither long nor short, lasting just two or three minutes. After watching it, Xie Yanchuan had no particular feelings, he just stared at his phone for a long while, lost in thought.

In the end, Xie Yanchuan put away his phone as if nothing had happened and left his apartment for school as usual.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhen and the rest of the Xie Family gradually came to know about the matter.

Xu Zhen naturally didn’t take it to heart—knowing the kid from the He Family liked his daughter was nothing new to him.

But He Shuying was somewhat surprised when she learned about it, yet aside from surprise, she felt no other emotions. She asked her husband curiously, "Do you know what’s going on?"

Xie Suian said, "It’s just the kid from the He Family liking Jinzhi, but Jinzhi has taken a fancy to your son."

Xie Suian felt somewhat proud of himself for acting quickly; even though he didn’t arrange a marriage with Xie Linchuan, no matter what, Xu Jinzhi was still the Xie Family’s daughter-in-law!

He Shuying rolled her eyes and said no more.

On the other hand, Liang Shiyu couldn’t help feeling schadenfreude after learning about the incident. However, her delight in others’ misfortune was different from that of Song You.

After marrying Xie Linchuan, Liang Shiyu did not live in the old house. No one knew if she wanted to live there, but Xie Linchuan, worried that Liang Shiyu might not be comfortable living in the old house, took the initiative to suggest living elsewhere.

At this moment, Liang Shiyu was coming downstairs while looking at her phone.

Xie Linchuan was already in the living room. Hearing the noise, he looked up and couldn’t help frowning, "Shiyu, don’t look at your phone when you’re walking down the stairs."

Liang Shiyu moved her gaze from the phone screen to Xie Linchuan. Seeing Xie Linchuan’s somewhat stern expression, she made a coquettish face at him.

Xie Linchuan did not get angry but walked over to Liang Shiyu, "You need to be careful now."

"I knew you only cared about the baby," Liang Shiyu pouted, seemingly a bit unhappy.

"This is our baby," responded Xie Linchuan. He did not deny caring a lot about the baby, but the root of his concern was because it was their child.

Liang Shiyu didn’t say anything more, just showed her phone to Xie Linchuan, "Do you know what this is all about?"

Xie Linchuan puzzled, took the phone to see the video, and slowly started to frown.

Liang Shiyu kept an eye on Xie Linchuan’s expression, noticing his brows furrowing with a serious look, she seemed somewhat enlightened.

She didn’t react over the top, only said in a light tone, "What’s with this person, doesn’t he know that Jinzhi and Yanchuan are already married?"

Xie Linchuan continued frowning, discontentedly saying, "I knew that the kid from the He Family liked Xu Jinzhi, but Xu Jinzhi is already married, and he’s still so persistent."

"Yeah, and I see netizens commenting all sorts of nonsense," added Liang Shiyu.

Xie Linchuan had not initially noticed the comments, but after Liang Shiyu mentioned them, he started to read through them.

Reading through the comments made the already serious Xie Linchuan look even more stern.

Liang Shiyu also frowned slightly, "I see this has caused quite a stir, could it affect us in any way?"
