Chapter 85: Chapter 85 What Will Chairman Xu Do Next?

Although Liang Shiyu had understood from the few previous conversations with Xu Jinzhi that Xu Jinzhi looked down on her,

she also knew why Xu Jinzhi despised her, it was simply because her own family background was not as impressive as Xu Jinzhi’s, which is why she looked down on her.

But deep down, Liang Shiyu didn’t admit defeat; she felt that it was her own family that had held her back, while Xu Jinzhi was merely relying on her family—what was so great about that?

And furthermore...

Liang Shiyu also knew that the Xie Family had previously intended to arrange a marriage between Xie Linchuan and Xu Jinzhi. Xie Linchuan told her that he would never marry a woman he didn’t love, and Xu Jinzhi was not willing to marry him either.

But deep down, Liang Shiyu still felt that the main reason the arranged marriage didn’t happen was because Xie Linchuan was unwilling, and what Xu Jinzhi did was merely to save her own face.

Because of this, Liang Shiyu felt somewhat smug—what use was it for Xu Jinzhi to be so great?

Xie Linchuan still didn’t want to marry her but chose her instead.

Now that she had married Xie Linchuan, she would be the main mistress of the Xie Family from now on. Not only that, but the successor of the Xie Family had already been decided long ago; everything in the Xie Family would be up to Xie Linchuan.

As for Xu Jinzhi, she married the second young master of the Xie Family, but she also knew that Xie Yanchuan was just a university professor and didn’t hold much status in the Xie Family.

There was no way Xu Jinzhi could compare with her in the future.

Thinking of this, Liang Shiyu’s discontent finally felt a bit alleviated.

After a while, the wedding ceremony officially began, and not long before, Liang Shiyu had been doubting whether it was worth marrying Xie Linchuan like this.

But at this moment, looking at Xie Linchuan, Liang Shiyu felt that everything was worth it.

To marry the person one loves and who loves oneself in return was truly a fortunate and happy thing.

It wasn’t until the wedding ceremony was over and it was time to eat that Liang Shiyu followed Xie Linchuan to toast the guests.

Xu Jinzhi hadn’t been paying attention to them, and when the meal started, she really began to eat earnestly. Xie Yanchuan sat next to Xu Jinzhi, equally focused on taking care of Xu Jinzhi as they ate together.

Xu Zhen wasn’t sitting at the same table as them, but he wasn’t far away. Seeing Xie Yanchuan’s behavior, he felt both disdainful and satisfied.

However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t get to eat quietly for long before someone came to greet her. Xu Jinzhi stood up to greet them, not forgetting to include Xie Yanchuan who was by her side.

In such settings, socializing was inevitable, and it was all very normal behavior.

It was just Liang Shiyu’s luck—she hadn’t noticed anyone else socializing, but unfortunately, she saw Xu Jinzhi chatting and laughing with others, and she couldn’t help frowning.

Was Xu Jinzhi trying to steal the spotlight at her own wedding?

Xie Linchuan was busy socializing too and hadn’t noticed the change in Liang Shiyu’s expression, but Lin Chu did.

Looking over there, Lin Chu whispered to Liang Shiyu, "She does seem quite impressive; those business tycoons are all treating her with respect."

Liang Shiyu snorted, "It’s all because she has a powerful father."

At this point, Lin Chu subconsciously glanced in a certain direction, where Xu Zhen happened to be sitting.

Xu Zhen, who was sitting there, didn’t know what he said to the person at his table, but he couldn’t help laughing.

Xu Zhen got married and had Xu Jinzhi at a relatively early age; he was not yet fifty and well-preserved, not coming off as greasy or aged at all.

Lin Chu withdrew his gaze and asked Liang Shiyu in a low voice, "The Xu Family only has one daughter, Xu Jinzhi, what will Chairman Xu do?"

Liang Shiyu subconsciously wanted to ask what he meant by ’what will he do,’ but as she looked at Lin Chu, she suddenly felt that there was something off about his gaze.

Liang Shiyu had known Lin Chu for many years, and even though she couldn’t claim to know him thoroughly, she was more or less familiar with his temperament.

Lin Chu...

Liang Shiyu suddenly found it somewhat amusing and murmured vaguely, "Who knows."

Lin Chu didn’t continue to press the matter further. His eyes occasionally drifted to Xu Jinzhi and then occasionally glanced over at Xu Zhen.

It wasn’t until the meal was over and the guests had dispersed that Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu’s wedding came to an end.

Xu Jinzhi said goodbye to the elders of the Xie Family with Xie Yanchuan and then left first.

There was actually nothing urgent for the two of them, so there was no rush to leave. But staying here wasn’t interesting, and it was better for them to go out on a date.

Now that the weather had already turned cold, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan left for a hot springs hotel in the suburbs.

The two of them had a pleasant weekend there.

After Xie Linchuan’s wedding ended, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan’s wedding was also approaching quickly.

However, their wedding had been in preparation for over half a year now, and everything that needed to be prepared was already ready; all they had to do was wait for the day to arrive.

The only thing that was worrying Xu Jinzhi lately was that she had eaten too much of the food prepared by Xie Yanchuan and had gained several pounds!

If it had been any other time, Xu Jinzhi might not have cared so much since she was naturally thin to begin with, and gaining a few pounds was no big deal.

But the issue was that Xu Jinzhi’s wedding dress was custom-made, and half a year ago, she was thinner!

So, Xu Jinzhi began to diet, determined that she must lose the extra weight she had put on before the wedding. She wanted to wear that dress in the best shape possible!

Xie Yanchuan thought there was no need for her to go to such lengths, but when Xu Jinzhi said she wanted to lose weight, he didn’t interfere. He even specifically prepared weight-loss meals for her.

All this went on until one day, Xu Jinzhi suddenly felt ill and was hospitalized with gastroenteritis!

When Xie Yanchuan received the call, he had just left the laboratory and was on his way home. As he saw Xu Jinzhi’s name on the caller ID, he subconsciously smiled.

He had been planning to send Xu Jinzhi a message anyway, not expecting her to call him.

But as soon as Xie Yanchuan picked up the phone, before he could say anything, he heard Xu Jinzhi’s extremely weak voice say, "Xie Yanchuan, I’m feeling a bit unwell."

The smile on Xie Yanchuan’s face froze instantly, and after a few seconds, he came to his senses, asking anxiously, "Jinzhi, where are you? What’s wrong?"

"I just got home, but I’m feeling really bad in my lower abdomen. I don’t know what’s happening; it wasn’t this painful at first, but now it’s very painful," Xu Jinzhi said slowly.

Xie Yanchuan asked Xu Jinzhi where exactly she was feeling unwell while he quickly headed outside.

Fortunately, Xie Yanchuan had driven that day and had also come out from the laboratory, so he didn’t miss Xu Jinzhi’s call.
