Chapter 428: 395 Don’t worry about it, just wait for my gift.

Tang Su knew that Lei Wei had always been awful to Sun Qing and wanted to chase her away for Sun Qing’s sake, but Sun Qing remained calm, "Come in."

Tang Su: "..."

Tang Su had no choice but to open the door.

Lei Wei brought a box of milk and a basket of fruit. She had originally planned to look for Sun Qing at the hospital but, after much deliberation, decided to wait for Sun Qing in her residential complex.

She had many friends, and one of them, who was on good terms with her, lived in the same complex and building as Sun Qing.

About every hour, she would come up and knock on the door.

This was the third time, and Sun Qing had finally returned.

Zheng Cheng had been taken away by the police that morning, and they had notified Zheng Cheng’s legal wife. However, Zheng Cheng’s legal wife, for all these years, had been a full-time homemaker.

The marriage between the two was of the most traditional kind, with the philosophy that the man works outside and the woman takes care of the home.

Even though Lei Wei was with Zheng Cheng, his legal wife had always turned a blind eye to it. She depended on Zheng Cheng for a living and naturally didn’t dare to object to whatever Zheng Cheng did with other women outside.

Lei Wei had always thought that she was not genteel enough, not a good match for Zheng Cheng, which is why she had always dreamed of replacing Zheng Cheng’s wife.

Little did she know, women like Zheng Cheng’s wife, who remained quiet and uncomplaining in the face of trouble, totally without initiative in household matters, only relying on external help and on their husbands, were exactly the kind who could captivate a man’s heart.

On the contrary, women who turned into tigresses upon discovering their husband’s affair, jumping around and even threatening their husbands viciously, were the ones men found the most irksome.

Once such a woman suggested divorce, the man could not wait to escape.

It was only during her time in the hospital that Lei Wei finally realized that Zheng Cheng’s wife was actually playing dumb.

She continued to play the role of Mrs. Zheng, taking care of the elderly and children at home, not making a fuss about the amount of money Zheng Cheng gave her, but she made sure that Zheng Cheng paid every penny for household expenses.

She had the persona of a housewife, and aside from household matters, she could conveniently claim ignorance about everything else.

For instance, this time when Zheng Cheng’s wife found her, she only mentioned that Zheng Cheng had been taken away by the police. She meekly said she didn’t know who to turn to, that Zheng Cheng’s mother was already anxious and her heart condition had relapsed, landing her in the hospital.

Finally, she said, "Miss Lei, please think of a way to save Old Zheng."

Lei Wei had no choice but to come.

"Please have a seat, Manager Lei."

"Miss Sun, you are too polite. I have already been fired by the company," Lei Wei said awkwardly.

Indeed, after Sun Qing’s identity had been exposed, her grandfather did not take action against Zheng Cheng. To punish the two and clean up the company’s misconduct, he instead targeted Lei Wei, removing her from her managerial position and firing her.

Her grandfather was known to be a fair man. Thinking of Lei Wei’s recent miscarriage and hospitalization, he decided to provide her with three months’ compensation pay, even though he wasn’t required to give her anything.

Lei Wei wasn’t heartless. She was grateful for Chairman Sun’s compassion and regretted being deceived by Zheng Cheng’s sweet nothings and straying onto the wrong path.

"Alright, Miss Lei, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I am here to plead on behalf of Zheng Cheng. I don’t know what he did, but, he cannot be sent to prison. If he does, I will be the one to repay our joint finances."

"..."

"He had someone run me over with a car." Sun Qing paused before she told Lei Wei what Zheng Cheng had done.

Actually, based on her understanding of Lei Wei, Sun Qing wasn’t entirely convinced that Lei Wei was completely unaware of the incident.

But since she refused to admit it, Sun Qing didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

If she said she didn’t know, then let’s assume she didn’t know.

She didn’t know, but she could make her aware of what exactly Zheng Cheng had done to her.

"Ah? How could he be so bold?" Lei Wei stood up, her face pale as she spoke in disbelief, evidently overacting.

Perhaps it was the excessive acting that made Sun Qing spot the flaw.

Any woman who colludes with a man like Zheng Cheng must not have a decent character.

Now you know to come here begging for mercy?

What were you doing at the beginning?

"Do you really not know, or are you... aiding and abetting?" Sun Qing arched an eyebrow. Dealing with a person like Lei Wei, sometimes, being direct is better.

"Sun Qing, I was blind before and treated you poorly, but believe me, no matter how bad I am, I wouldn’t stoop to the level of aiding and abetting evil," Lei Wei said.

"Murder is against the law; I don’t want to risk my entire life for it."

Lei Wei’s claims sounded genuine. At most, she had used her status in the company to side with Zheng Cheng’s background and make those she disliked wear small shoes—it was outrageous enough. Murder, however, was something she truly dared not do.

Sun Qing guessed she didn’t dare. After all, in this world, demons who could kill without batting an eye were extremely rare.

"Miss Lei, when you see President Zheng, relay a message for me. If he resigns voluntarily from our Sun Group, I won’t pursue today’s matter anymore."

"...Resign?" Lei Wei blinked in confusion.

She had already resigned, and Zheng Cheng said that if one of them left their position, Chairman Sun would not pursue the matter after their affair was exposed.

How come this was different from what was initially promised?

"Yes, he regards me as a thorn in his side, doesn’t he? Tell him, either resign or be prepared for jail. After that, when he’s got a criminal record, he still won’t be able to stay with the company. You two can consider that."

Lei Wei was stunned. She hadn’t expected Sun Qing, who was so young, to be so ruthless.

To think, Zheng Cheng was one of the primary contributors who started the business with Elder Master Sun.

"It’s fine, I am giving you one day to think it over."

"The day after tomorrow, I’ll be contacting a lawyer."

At this point, Lei Wei knew that no matter what she said, it was unlikely to change Sun Qing’s mind. She stood up to take her leave, "I understand. I will speak to him. But Sun Qing, always leave one line open, to meet on good terms in the future."

"Hmm, convey the same message to President Zheng."

Lei Wei: "..."

"Miss Lei, take your things with you. Otherwise, I’ll have to throw them in the trash bin as garbage. After all, wasting things can bring down heavenly punishment."

Lei Wei’s face turned a shade greener with anger, and she bent down to take her belongings.

By giving these treats to her friend’s child, they would remember the kindness of "Auntie" Lei Wei.

After Lei Wei left, Sun Qing hummed. Tang Su looked at her, "Be careful when you go out these days. I doubt they’ll let it go easily."

"Of course they won’t let go. I’ll call my brother back. I am someone who is doted on by my brother as well."

"It’s time for Big Brother Sun to return. Considering Grandfather Sun’s old age, you and Big Brother Sun really should step up," Tang Su said consecutively, only bringing this up at this moment.

"I know; I will persuade him. Seeing these self-righteous jerks bully my old man, my heart truly burns with anger."

"Sun Qing, you have many people around you who can help. If you need it, just call out."

"Okay, I know. They are willing to help me because I am friends with you, Tang Bao. It’s so good to know you."

Sun Qing suddenly became clingy, hugging Tang Su and nuzzling her head into her chest.

"When you get your marriage certificate, I want to give you a big gift."

"No need, just wait until we have the wedding ceremony."

"For the wedding, I’ll give another gift. Don’t worry about it; just look forward to my gift."

"..."
