The Temptation of CEO's Pregnant Ex-Wife
Chapter 106: The word "Husband" became her nightmare

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The word "Husband" became her nightmare

Xu Tian was still the illegitimate child of the Xu Family, although her father treated her quite well, Madam Xu was a tough character, and now that they were on the same household register, Xu Tian’s marriage was bound to be anything but smooth sailing.

Cheng Zhiwei sincerely wished her happiness, "You must be happy."

Do not end up like her, in such a predicament.

"I heard Zhou Lin sent Bai Zhuzhu to the police station, and that President Wang who bullied you, Zhou’s Group has already announced the cessation of all cooperation with Tianchen, and there are rumors they might even push them into bankruptcy." Xu Tian conveyed the news to Cheng Zhiwei bit by bit.

Xu Tian understood Cheng Zhiwei; there was no need to hide or hoard some matters.

Normal communication was entirely acceptable, just don’t be like Meng Qiancheng, deliberately speaking without any filter.

After all, their relationship was so good, incomparable to Meng Qiancheng’s.

As expected, Cheng Zhiwei’s mood was relatively calm, revealing only a hint of weariness, "If they didn’t act, it would be like someone stepped on Zhou’s Group’s face. Of course, he would do this. Moreover, a part of Tianchen’s business overlaps with Zhou’s, which made their cooperation possible. If there is trouble, taking over Tianchen’s business kills two birds with one stone, how wonderful."

After speaking, she noticed Xu Tian’s expression was somewhat strange, "What’s wrong?"

Xu Tian propped up her chin, speaking leisurely, "My dad said the same thing."

"Oh?"

"He also said that Zhou Lin has always been calculating, especially in these past few years, he particularly resembles his dad from back in the day, so in the future, he might become the second Zhou Chenyuan. The prospects of Zhou’s Group are boundless." As Xu Tian spoke, she curled her lips to show her disdain.

Because when Xu Tian’s father said this, he was very envious; Madam Xu had given birth to three children, one son and two daughters, but unfortunately, they were not very smart. Only Xu Tian, who came from outside, had some talent in managing the company.

Now Xu Tian was working in the company alongside her father, and there were things he was willing to share with her.

Xu Tian did not like the Xu Family, but her relationship with her biological father was still harmonious. She was receptive to what he said and had been pondering how to subtly remind Cheng Zhiwei, but she didn’t expect Cheng Zhiwei to be so perceptive.

"You think Zhou Lin deliberately instructed Bai Zhuzhu to do this, don’t you?" Xu Tian couldn’t help but start to theorize conspiratorially.

Cheng Zhiwei shook her head, "He is not that kind of person."

She hated Zhou Lin because Zhou Lin favored Bai Zhuzhu and deliberately hid Seo Zhenzhen in the He family, so his parents wouldn’t trouble the pair of sisters. She suffered at the hands of the villain because of Zhou Lin.

But to say that this incident was arranged by Zhou Lin, she didn’t believe it.

Zhou Lin had not sunk to that level.

Xu Tian poked Cheng Zhiwei’s forehead, saying helplessly, "Oh my god, why not just blame this on him, anyway? It’s all because of him, he deserves it."

"You are right, in any case, it’s because of him." Cheng Zhiwei managed to crack a wry smile. Whether she hated him or not, Zhou Lin could not care less.

"Let’s not worry about these things anymore. Tianchen going bankrupt, that’s their own fault," Xu Tian said resentfully, "And also Bai Zhuzhu, she deserves it."

Cheng Zhiwei spoke indifferently, "In a few days, once the fuss dies down, she will be able to come out."

That was Zhou Lin’s attitude towards those sisters, was it not?

If everything was to be clarified, Bai Zhuzhu could even be considered a contributor to Zhou’s Group’s acquisition of Tianchen.

Forget it, she needn’t concern herself with those matters anymore. What she needed to think about was how to live a few quiet days peacefully before Zhou Lin grew weary of her.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Zhiwei began to fever again. She was trapped in a nightmare, shivering and curling up tightly, murmuring incessantly from her mouth, "Go away... go away..."

"Cheng Zhiwei, wake up."

Someone was calling her name, unclear and vague.

Suddenly, a cool sensation touched her forehead.

Groggily opening her eyes, Cheng Zhiwei saw a man’s face emerge amidst the glaring white light.

Her cheeks, originally flushed with fever, instantly turned ashen pale. The man’s sinister laughter exploded in her mind, and she couldn’t even see who was in front of her. Instinctively, her body leaned back, and she quickly dodged backward, her voice shattered, "Don’t come any closer."

Zhou Lin paused, his eyes slightly changing, but Cheng Zhiwei had already retreated to the edge of the bed, about to fall backward, so he had no choice but to reach out, trying to pull her back.

When Cheng Zhiwei saw that hand, she screamed in fright, pushed it away, and fell off the bed with a "thud." Ignoring the pain, she scurried to a corner of the wall, holding herself in terror.

"Don’t come any closer."

"Don’t come near me."

The hospital room door burst open, and four or five people rushed in.

The air itself seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Zhiwei." Lin Yu hurried over and, without a second thought, knelt down to embrace Cheng Zhiwei, patting her back to comfort her, "Don’t be scared, don’t be scared, I’m here."

"What’s going on?" Lin Yu asked anxiously, "Zhou Lin, what did you do to Zhiwei?"

Zhou Lin’s expression was stern as he silently watched Cheng Zhiwei, whose gaunt, pale face was covered with fright. Her long hair draped over her arms, trembling slightly with her quivering body.

Fragile to the touch, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Under Lin Yu’s consolation, Cheng Zhiwei gradually calmed down. She braced herself on her arms to stand up and looked at everyone with a calm gaze, her voice hoarse, "Sorry, I had a nightmare."

Zhou Lin knew she was lying.

She wasn’t having a nightmare.

When she woke up, she had shown an emotion as if she wished she could kill him. That was her true reaction.

Her current calmness was all a facade.

Lin Yu glanced at Zhou Lin, wanting to say something but stopped herself. She spoke softly, "It’s okay, Zhiwei, it was Ah Lin’s fault for scaring you."

A husband is supposed to be the closest person, yet for Cheng Zhiwei, he had become a nightmare.

Lin Yu didn’t know how to express her feelings. She asked Zhou Lin to take everyone out, while she stayed close to Cheng Zhiwei, whispering, "Xu Tian has been called back by her dad, she’ll be here soon."

"Mm."

"Ah Lin only wanted to come and see you; he scared you, didn’t he?" Lin Yu stroked Cheng Zhiwei’s hair, "He’s also feeling terrible about what happened."

Cheng Zhiwei displayed no emotion, just staring blankly at the ceiling, "It doesn’t matter, I just overreacted."

The calmer she was, the more worried Lin Yu became. She couldn’t help saying, "Zhiwei, let it out if you’re feeling upset. Cry it out, and you’ll feel better."

She didn’t shed a single tear, not reacting like a normal person would.

Cry?

Cheng Zhiwei thought, what’s the use of crying? Crying wouldn’t make Zhou Lin leave her alone.

Better to lie down and not think about anything, to feel no grievances.

Xu Tian returned shortly, and Lin Yu left.

But all night long, Cheng Zhiwei didn’t sleep. No matter how calm she appeared, the moment she closed her eyes, that vulgar face would appear before her, and the pain on her body became more and more distinct.

The next morning, when Zhou Lin arrived, he saw her pale, haggard face.

Zhang Yuanheng noticed it right away.

He didn’t say a word, just prescribed more sleeping pills for Cheng Zhiwei.
