Just got divorced and immediately got seduced by the stunning senior sister
Chapter 464: Discovering the Truth

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Discovering the Truth

The sky over the sea doesn’t change that quickly.

Not just Zhao Chungang, Li Meihai also wanted to know what exactly had happened between Chen Wei and Zhao Xinlian when he was unaware.

This was far beyond the saying "lingering emotions like frayed silk."

The hidden depths were certainly more complicated than he had imagined.

"..." Zhao Xinlian didn’t want to not answer Zhao Chungang, but for a moment, she couldn’t figure out how to clearly explain what had happened between herself and Chen Wei to the two elders.

Telling them that she had once hardened her heart to have Chen Wei leave with nothing, only for him to now hold half of Zhao Corporation’s shares in his hands.

And that to rescue Zhao Corporation, she had no choice but to agree to serve him as a maid for three years?

Even if Zhao Xinlian was willing to say this, she didn’t believe Zhao Chungang and Li Meihai would trust her, because it was just too preposterous.

Who could have imagined that things would have taken such a reversal?

Before this, Zhao Xinlian had also believed, like Zhao Chungang and Li Meihai, that there would be no more connections between her and Chen Wei, that they might never see each other again for life, after all, River City was vast, and there couldn’t be that many coincidences in the world.

However, reality gave Zhao Xinlian a harsh slap in the face.

After the divorce, she turned out to be the one who cared about Chen Wei the most.

Even because she wasn’t used to other people’s cooking, she was hospitalized several times for malnutrition and had to survive on IV glucose.

Such a thing, Zhao Xinlian really couldn’t bring herself to tell the two elders, Zhao Chungang and Li Meihai.

Carrying the freshly brewed tea, she returned to Chen Wei, offering it with both hands respectfully, "Please enjoy your tea."

"Zhao Xinlian, explain this to me clearly! Why is he here? And why are you being so obedient to him!" Zhao Chungang completely lost his patience, and with a fierce expression, he grabbed Zhao Xinlian’s arm and gave it a tug.

"Dad, the situation here is very complicated, it can’t be explained in a few words, you better not ask," Zhao Xinlian hoped Zhao Chungang would let it go.

"If you can’t explain in a few words, then keep talking until you make it clear, I have time to listen to your explanation!" Zhao Chungang insisted forcefully.

"Yes, Xinlian, can you please explain to us quickly? What exactly is going on here? Why are you and he still together?" Li Meihai tried to mediate the situation.

She was very clear, if this continued, the conflict between father and daughter would only escalate.

To resolve the issue, the best way was to make things clear.

"Mom, do you really not understand? He’s no longer the useless son-in-law you knew, he is now the major shareholder who holds fifty percent of Zhao Corporation’s shares, our Zhao family’s equal." Zhao Xinlian had no choice but to surrender to Zhao Chungang and spill the truth.

"What! He has fifty percent of Zhao Corporation’s shares? He’s our equal? Why!" Zhao Chungang just couldn’t comprehend the reasoning behind this.

But the very next second, a terrible thought surfaced in his mind, and he asked, "Did you, just after taking office, arbitrarily decide to give him fifty percent of Zhao Corporation’s shares?"

"It wasn’t that I wanted to give them to him, but that I had no other choice!" Zhao Xinlian corrected him.

"What do you mean no other choice? I think you’ve been bewitched by him, lost your mind because of his charm!" Zhao Chungang was very angry, regretting having such a foolish daughter.

"Dad! Don’t talk nonsense, not only did he help me gather evidence to oust the cancer that was my uncle from the company, saving Zhao Corporation, but he also saved grandma’s life! The fifty percent shareholding is something grandma agreed to give him!" Zhao Xinlian emphasized.

"What! Given by the old lady herself! He, he saved the old lady’s life!" Zhao Chungang looked at Chen Wei, unable to believe it.

"He’s just a good-for-nothing, how could he have such ability? Xinlian, you better not be lying to me." Zhao Chungang still couldn’t believe that such things could happen in the world.

"Dad, if you don’t believe me, you can call Grandma," Zhao Xinlian said, too lazy to explain any further.

Anyway, Zhao Chungang wouldn’t take it seriously.

Surprisingly, Zhao Chungang actually took out his cell phone in a fit of pique, opened his contacts list, found the word ’Mom’ and made the call.

"Hello, Mom, sorry to call you so late, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"It’s about Chen Wei, Xinlian lied saying he now owns fifty percent of Zhao Corporation’s shares, and that you personally nodded and agreed to give them to him. Is that true?"

"What! It really was you who agreed to give them to him? He really saved your life?"

Zhao Chungang’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Chen Wei, his face draining of color.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Well, Mom, I’m going to hang up now, sorry to disturb your rest so late."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chungang’s brows were deeply furrowed, and he slumped down onto the sofa.

"Chungang," Li Meihai said, worried as she supported him.

All Zhao Chungang could do was mutter to himself, "How on earth could something so outrageous happen! How, how did you manage it?"

Zhao Chungang was painfully aware of how serious Grandma’s illness was. Even though the call was over the phone, he could tell from her tone that her mental state was incredibly good now; she was speaking strongly without even a hint of breathlessness.

Zhao Xinlian had found a miracle doctor to cure Grandma’s illness and then attributed all the credit to Chen Wei?

Impossible, that was Zhao Chungang’s own mother. Was he not aware of what kind of a person she was? She despised Chen Wei, his son-in-law, even more than he did, so how could she possibly conspire with him to deceive him?

Moreover, during the call, Grandma had repeatedly instructed Zhao Chungang and Li Meihai not to interfere with the couple’s relationship.

Not only not to interfere, but also to actively encourage the reconciliation and remarriage of Chen Wei and Zhao Xinlian.

At that moment, Zhao Chungang truly believed that Grandma must have lost her mind.

He never dreamed that encouraging Chen Wei and Zhao Xinlian to remarry would be words coming out of Grandma’s mouth.

He even wondered if the plot lines in fantasy novels were actually true—had Grandma’s body been taken over by a powerful reincarnated soul, which is why her personality had changed so drastically?

The more he thought about it, the crazier his thoughts became, completely unable to stop the runaway train of his imagination.

"Now do you believe it? Still want to kick me out? On the contrary, should I be the one to kick you out of this villa?" Chen Wei turned the tables.

Just now, Zhao Chungang had yelled at him, arrogantly telling him to get lost.

It was time for him to be arrogant too.

"..." Zhao Chungang.

"..." Li Meihai.

"Hey, you’re not really planning to make my parents leave in the middle of the night, are you?" Zhao Xinlian asked softly.

Chen Wei answered with a smile, "Depends on how you behave."

"..." Zhao Xinlian forced a smile, bit her lip, and truly had no way to deal with Chen Wei.
