Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

"Li Chengqian, if you have something to say, let’s take it outside!"

Miduo’s voice turned cold, instantly intimidating the fuming Li Chengqian.

The sales associates in the store had looks of great excitement on their faces; they were clearly a crowd ready for some drama.

"Yingying, you don’t think something actually happened between the manager and Qi Sheng, do you?"

Watching the scene unfold, Tan Hua couldn’t help but imagine the worst.

"Oh, come on, no way. Qi Sheng is so outstanding, and he’s so good to you. How could anything happen between him and the manager?"

Xu Ying complained silently. ’Qi Sheng’s the one who made this mess, and I’m the one who has to clean it up.’

"I know you’re the best and would never try to steal Qi Sheng from me, but the manager’s husband was so adamant. He must have some reason for it, right?"

Tan Hua hadn’t been working here long, and this was the first time she had seen Li Chengqian come to the store.

"There’s something wrong with that guy. Once, just because the manager smiled at a male client who spent over a million, he rushed over and punched the man."

"As a result, the client filed a complaint with LV headquarters, and our manager was given a severe reprimand. She almost lost her position."

Xu Ying’s tone was filled with disgust as she spoke of Li Chengqian.

As a man, Li Chengqian had less class than a woman.

As a veteran employee at the store, Xu Ying had received plenty of help from Miduo.

But she knew better than to get involved in Miduo’s family matters.

"Oh, so that’s the kind of person he is. I completely misjudged our manager."

Tan Hua instantly felt relieved, a little embarrassed.

"Hey, don’t worry. Neither I nor the manager are the kind of bad women who steal other people’s men."

"We’re self-aware enough to know our place. With our looks, the best we could hope for is to be a mistress."

Xu Ying had a very clear understanding of her own position and had no intention of competing with Tan Hua for favor.

"I just got lucky. You guys will meet the right person for you, too."

Tan Hua didn’t know how to comfort Xu Ying; her own experience was truly one of a kind.

"Well, I’m going to go check on the manager, just in case that man tries anything."

Xu Ying was a little worried. "If a customer comes in, can you help them for me?"

"Mhm, you go ahead. I’ll cover for you here."

Tan Hua also had a very good impression of Miduo, so she agreed without hesitation.

The manager, who was like a big sister to her, had personally shown her the ropes when she first started.

Later, when she started dating Qi Sheng,

Miduo had even covered for her a few times when she left early.

Such a kind and understanding big-sister figure.

Tan Hua couldn’t believe she would try to steal her man.

...

「Stairwell.」

Miduo and Li Chengqian faced each other in silence.

This incident was just the final straw.

Even before this, Miduo had been considering divorce.

She just never expected Qi Sheng to suddenly burst into her life,

sending crashing waves through the once-calm lake of her heart.

"Li Chengqian, let’s get a divorce."

Miduo truly couldn’t stand his twisted, controlling nature any longer.

Most of the time, coming home felt like walking into a prison.

Even breathing felt difficult.

For the past year and a half, the two had essentially been in a cold war.

Li Chengqian was riding high on his career success and had no shortage of women on the side.

But when it came to his wife at home, he couldn’t stand the thought of her having any contact with other men.

Every night, Li Chengqian would check the home security cameras.

Only after confirming that Miduo was home and that no man had followed her would he be able to sleep peacefully.

This surveillance had been going on for almost two years.

"Impossible. I won’t agree to it."

Li Chengqian refused without a second thought.

The women on the side were exciting, sure.

But his beautiful wife at home was his soulmate.

"Whether you agree or not, I’m having my lawyer contact you."

"I don’t want a single penny of our assets."

"The house was bought by your parents before we married, anyway."

Miduo was truly exhausted. She didn’t want to be entangled with Li Chengqian like this anymore.

If Qi Sheng hadn’t appeared, perhaps she would have remained conflicted for a while longer.

"Miduo, are you seeing another man?"

Li Chengqian’s face suddenly flushed red with agitation, and he reached for Miduo’s hand.

Xu Ying saw this just in time and quickly pushed him away. "Say what you have to say, but keep your hands to yourself."

"This is a family matter between the two of us. Please stay out of it."

Li Chengqian glared at Xu Ying, annoyed. He always felt that this woman was bad-mouthing him.

He even suspected that if Miduo was involved with another man, she probably had something to do with it.

Who said men don’t have intuition? Li Chengqian’s was frighteningly accurate.

"Miduo is not seeing another man, I can guarantee that. If you dare touch her again, don’t blame me for calling the police on you."

Xu Ying wasn’t afraid of Li Chengqian. She brandished her phone.

An indecent assault charge was more than a guy like him could handle.

"Fine, I won’t touch her. Where were you two yesterday?"

Li Chengqian was also afraid Xu Ying would actually call the police, so he pressed on, unwilling to give up.

"We were at a colleague’s housewarming party yesterday. We stayed the night at their place. The manager even video-chatted with you then, didn’t she?"

Xu Ying answered without missing a beat.

"And after the video call with me ended? Was Miduo still at your colleague’s house?"

Seeing how readily Xu Ying answered, Li Chengqian was beginning to believe her.

"That’s right. The manager slept in the nanny’s room just so she could video call you in private. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Then why was Miduo so late today? I don’t believe for a second that she was really at the neighboring store coordinating stock."

Li Chengqian trusted his intuition more.

"I swear, how can a grown man like you be so whiny?"

"The manager already explained everything clearly to you, but you refuse to believe her and are trying to force her to admit she’s having an affair with another man."

"What, will you only be satisfied when you hear that your wife has been sleeping with another man?"
