Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 31

Hearing that, Cheng Zijun calmed down quite a bit.

Lin Yuze was right.

Jidong was already on its last legs—nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Besides, there was Jiang Ning acting as a spy inside Jidong.

What did he have to worry about?

Thinking this, Cheng Zijun looked up at Lin Yuze.
“Go ask her on WeChat. I already blocked her a long time ago.”

After their divorce, not wanting Jiang Ning to bother him, Cheng Zijun had immediately deleted her from WeChat.

“Alright.” Lin Yuze nodded and pulled out his phone.

During the time Jiang Ning worked at Cheng Group, she added everyone around Cheng Zijun on WeChat.

Though no one really respected her as the nominal CEO’s wife, she was still extremely friendly to Cheng Zijun’s staff.

The way she acted wasn’t like a CEO’s wife, but more like a cheap accessory hanging around him.

Lin Yuze opened WeChat, found Jiang Ning’s profile picture, and tapped to open their chat.

They barely ever talked since adding each other.

Plus, Lin Yuze looked down on Jiang Ning, that little country girl from the countryside, and had even blocked her Moments updates!

Lin Yuze never expected that one day he’d actually be the one to message Jiang Ning.

If it weren’t for the Jidong acquisition—and Jiang Ning going undercover as a spy for Cheng Zijun—he wouldn’t have touched her with a ten-foot pole!

He typed:
“Are you free now? Let’s voice chat about Jidong.”

But the next second…

Lin Yuze froze.

Because a red exclamation mark popped up on the screen.

Seeing Lin Yuze’s odd expression, Cheng Zijun asked, “What did Jiang Ning say?”

Lin Yuze scratched his head.
“She… she seems to have deleted me?”

“What?” Cheng Zijun’s face darkened.

What was Jiang Ning playing at?

She even deleted Lin Yuze?

Lin Yuze hurriedly added, “Maybe it was a mistake. I’ll just call her directly.”

Jiang Ning loved Cheng Zijun so much, how could she delete him?

It had to be a mistake.

He switched to the contacts app and dialed Jiang Ning’s number.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy…”

Clearly, that was the blocked number message.

Lin Yuze’s eyes widened.

She might have just deleted WeChat, but surely she didn’t accidentally blacklist his phone number too, right?

Feeling conflicted, he hung up and looked at Cheng Zijun in disbelief.
“Zi, Zijun bro, Jiang Ning… she really deleted me. And she blocked my calls too.”

Cheng Zijun tugged at his tie irritably.
“What is she trying to do? Force me to remarry her by doing this?”

Jiang Ning joined Jidong because of him, yet now she was pretending to ignore him!

If this wasn’t to pressure him into remarrying, what else could it be?

Right!

It had to be that.

Did she really think this could threaten him?

Laughable!

Lin Yuze suggested, “Should I try calling her from another number?”

“No need,” Cheng Zijun refused outright.
“If you call from another number, she’ll only think she’s got the upper hand. When she realizes no one cares, she’ll come crawling back to us herself.”

Cheng Zijun wanted to show Jiang Ning with actions that the position of Mrs. Cheng would always belong to Zhang Shuyi!

He wouldn’t indulge Jiang Ning,
Nor would he remarry her!

Lin Yuze gave a thumbs-up.
“Brilliant, really brilliant! Zijun bro, that shameless country girl deserves this treatment! How long do you think it’ll take her to contact us? I bet three days! No, two days! She’ll definitely beg you to remarry within two days!”

“Two days?” Cheng Zijun looked at Lin Yuze, disdain flashing in his eyes.
“You’re overestimating her. If nothing unexpected happens, she’ll come looking for you tonight. Just have her send the latest info on Jidong. I won’t meet her in person.”

Jiang Ning wanted to use Jidong to pressure him into remarrying?

No way.

Lin Yuze nodded, “Alright, Zijun bro, got it.”

…

That night.

Lin Yuze sat at the dining table, eating while staring at his phone.

Seeing this, Lin’s mother excitedly asked, “Yuze, are you dating someone?”

“No,” he replied.

Lin’s mother sighed, “If you’re not dating, then why are you staring at your phone all the time?”

Right now, it was obvious Lin Yuze was just waiting for a girl he liked to reply to his messages.

She narrowed her eyes and said with a knowing smile, “Oh, I get it! You have a crush! Are you chasing her now? Want me to give you some tips?”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Yuze hurried to explain, “I’m waiting for a call from Jiang Ning.”

Jiang Ning?

Lin’s mother paused for a moment, then uncertainly asked, “Jiang Ning… the country wife that Old Master Cheng picked out for Cheng Zijun?”

“Yeah,” Lin Yuze nodded.
“That’s the one.”

Hearing this, Lin’s mother frowned.
“Why are you waiting for her call? Didn’t Zijun already divorce her?”

Lin’s mother never had a good impression of Jiang Ning.

If it weren’t for the late Old Master Cheng’s old-fashioned superstitions, that little country girl would never have become Mrs. Cheng.

And for Jiang Ning to catch Old Master Cheng’s eye, she must’ve used all kinds of tricks.

Lin’s mother despised cunning women like Jiang Ning the most.

Lin Yuze hurriedly shoved a few more bites of food into his mouth.
“This is business, please don’t ask so many questions! I’m done eating, I’m heading upstairs.”

Lin’s mother watched his back with a slight frown.
“What kind of business can you have with Jiang Ning? She’s just a country bumpkin, what does she know?”

Upstairs, Lin Yuze stared at his phone without blinking.

But the screen stayed completely silent.

He glanced at the time.

It was 7:30 p.m.

Wait a bit longer.

By 8 or 9 o’clock, Jiang Ning would definitely call him.

With that thought, Lin Yuze packed up his things and headed for a shower.

He purposely left his phone behind on the way to the bathroom.

He wanted Jiang Ning to get a little anxious too.

More than half an hour later, Lin Yuze stepped out of the bathroom and the first thing he did was check his phone.

No surprise, he knew Jiang Ning must’ve called him a dozen times during that half hour.

He hadn’t picked up, so Jiang Ning must be losing it!

Hahaha!

But the moment he held the phone in his hand, Lin Yuze froze.

Because the screen was completely silent.

Not a single call.

What was going on?

Jiang Ning hadn’t reached out to him?

Frantically, Lin Yuze opened WeChat.

Nothing there either. No messages, no friend requests.

Wait a little longer.

Jiang Ning would definitely contact him first.

Lin Yuze comforted himself quietly.

Cheng Group was about to partner with Shen Corp. He had a new game release coming up, aiming for the Sky Award, and a ton of other things waiting on his plate.

He couldn’t afford to spend all his energy on Jiang Ning.

Three more hours passed.

Lin Yuze finished work and picked up his phone again. Still no sign from Jiang Ning.

This was strange.

Based on what he knew about Jiang Ning, she should’ve lost patience by now.

Could it be…

Jiang Ning had really let go of Cheng Zijun?

No.

Impossible.

Jiang Ning loved Cheng Zijun so much she’d kill herself. How could she forget him so fast?

Maybe her message was coming soon.

But as time ticked by, Lin Yuze still received no proactive contact from Jiang Ning.

Until the next morning, the phone remained silent.

The very next morning at the office, Cheng Zijun called Lin Yuze into his office.

“How did Jiang Ning talk to you last night?”

Lin Yuze looked conflicted, unsure how to explain.

Seeing this, Cheng Zijun’s eyes flickered with disgust.
“Jiang Ning wants to talk to me in person?”

Disgusting.

He had no intention of meeting that country bumpkin Jiang Ning.

“No, no,” Lin Yuze hurried to say, “Jiang Ning didn’t contact me at all last night! Zijun bro, what’s going on?”

No contact?

Cheng Zijun frowned slightly.
“Is your phone broken?”

Jiang Ning would slit her wrists without him!

She loved him that much; she wouldn’t ignore Lin Yuze all night.

It had to be Lin Yuze’s phone acting up.

“My phone’s fine,” Lin Yuze was starting to doubt life itself.
“I get messages from everyone else just fine. There’s no way I’m not getting Jiang Ning’s.”

Cheng Zijun’s face darkened, about to say something.

“Knock knock knock—”

At that moment, someone was knocking on the door.

No doubt, it had to be Jiang Ning!

Cheng Zijun’s eyes lit up immediately as he looked toward the office door.

Excited, he stood and walked over to open it.
“Jiang Ning! It must be Jiang Ning! She’s come with the acquisition documents for Jidong, begging me to remarry her!”

Hearing this, Lin Yuze quickly stopped Cheng Zijun from opening the door.
“Zijun bro, don’t forgive Jiang Ning just because of those acquisition papers. Make sure she understands her mistake.”
