Chapter 166: Chapter 166: You Refuse to Get a Divorce, Isn’t It Because of His Money?

Cheng Zhiwei moved a few steps silently and walked to the other side of Meng Qiancheng.

Her ear was not in a very serious condition at the moment; when wearing a hearing aid, she was just like any normal person. However, occasional loud sounds or sudden noises could cause discomfort in her left ear.

Meng Qiancheng, looking very agitated, grabbed Cheng Zhiwei’s shoulders, his grip so tight that it pained her, "Did Zhou Chenyuan force you because he got cancer?"

Zhou Chenyuan did have cancer, but he hadn’t forced Cheng Zhiwei; it was all her own choice.

Cheng Zhiwei disliked Meng Qiancheng’s aggressive demeanor and forcefully shook off his hands, "Brother Qiancheng, some things are hard for me to explain to you, but Zhou Lin and I won’t get a divorce temporarily, so don’t get excited."

"What’s so good about being with Zhou Lin? The way he treats you." Meng Qiancheng frowned deeply, "His Zhou Family’s affairs have nothing to do with you either. Just come with me now to see Lin Yu and tell her clearly that you want a divorce."

He still thought that Lin Yu didn’t know about Cheng Zhiwei’s determination to divorce.

Cheng Zhiwei, annoyed by the noise, glanced at He Ye, who was still talking with Secretary Zhang, and spoke indifferently, "No, Zhou Lin just invested in He Ye’s studio. Such opportunities are rare."

If she went now and talked about divorce, Zhou Lin would surely take back the investment.

Moreover, not divorcing was a promise she had made to Zhou Chenyuan, and she couldn’t go back on her word now.

Meng Qiancheng’s eyes nearly burst with fury as he spoke very sharply, "Just because he invested in you, you would sell yourself to him? You refuse to divorce not because of his money, is it?"

He paced around fiercely, breathing heavily, and said agitatedly, "I told you before, if you divorce him, you must talk about money. Haven’t you thought that with that money, you could invest in He Ye’s studio yourself, without needing Zhou Lin’s insincere kindness?"

These were truly hurtful words.

Cheng Zhiwei looked at Meng Qiancheng, somewhat incredulous. How could Meng Qiancheng say such things, especially that she was with Zhou Lin for money?

Her tone cooled, Cheng Zhiwei said indifferently, "Then assume I am with him for his money. Moreover, he just helped me out; I can’t bring up divorce now."

Mentioning this matter made Meng Qiancheng think of how Zhou Lin disdainfully said he was worthless.

His already fragile self-esteem completely collapsed, and he trembled with anger, his face turning red, "Weiwei, you think I’m useless too, don’t you? Zhou Lin can blatantly protect you, while I can only submit meekly, and others still disdain me."

Cheng Zhiwei thought he was delirious and couldn’t help but step back, "Brother Qiancheng, calm down, I don’t look down on you."

But Meng Qiancheng didn’t listen at all.

He was caught in a painful dilemma, "Indeed, you should look down on me. I’m not Zhou Lin; I can’t summon or dismiss those people at will, nor can I protect you."

Cheng Zhiwei felt a bit annoyed; she didn’t understand why Meng Qiancheng was so obsessed with this matter; she didn’t blame him at all.

In fact, she was still grateful to him, for sticking up for her even at the expense of offending his own client.

But she hadn’t expected Meng Qiancheng to suddenly become so extreme.

All she could do was patiently say again, "Brother Qiancheng, I don’t look down on you, in fact, it’s me who dragged you into this."

She said, deliberately changing the subject, "By the way, are you still working as a private doctor now? That’s good too, but you should still be cautious, don’t let people take advantage of you."

She didn’t mean anything else by saying this; she just wanted to divert the topic and prevent Meng Qiancheng from falling back into that self-blaming, somewhat crazed mood.

Moreover, that Mr. Chen really wasn’t a good person.

But Meng Qiancheng’s flushed cheeks suddenly turned pale, his dark eyes quieted down in an instant, as he looked at Cheng Zhiwei, his voice low, "You look down on me too."

Cheng Zhiwei: "..."

She had no intention of looking down on him at all.

"I just want to say that Mr. Chen is not a good person," Cheng Zhiwei tried to explain clearly.

Just then, a woman suddenly rushed over from a short distance, and she fiercely slapped Meng Qiancheng across the face, the pain evident on her face, her expression filled with hatred.

"Are you Meng Qiancheng?"

Meng Qiancheng turned his head and glared at the woman ominously, "Who are you?"

The woman’s eyes were red with anger as she cursed, "I’m looking for you, you beast, do you know because of you, my sister was bullied by that Mr. Chen, just like that, ruined, Meng Qiancheng, you truly deserve to die."

She cursed fiercely, kicking and hitting as she did so.

Meng Qiancheng pushed her away impatiently, "I don’t know your sister, stop making a scene here."

"My sister is the nurse in the hospital who follows you, dare you say you don’t know her?" the woman cried out in sorrow, "She just liked you, yet you treated her like this, Meng Qiancheng, you’re inhuman."

Meng Qiancheng’s face changed slightly, but he still vehemently defended himself, "Her liking me is her business, I have never responded to her, what, something happened to her?"

The woman trembled as she pointed at Meng Qiancheng, "Wasn’t it you who sent her to Mr. Chen?"

Cheng Zhiwei suddenly widened her eyes, disbelievingly looked at Meng Qiancheng, trusting him because of their decades-old friendship, instinctively spoke, "Could there be some misunderstanding here?"

Meng Qiancheng immediately responded, "Of course it’s a misunderstanding, I’ve never done such a thing, wasn’t it she herself who got involved with Mr. Chen..."

"You’re talking nonsense," the woman roared angrily, then turned to look at Cheng Zhiwei, "Miss, let me remind you, it’s best to stay away from this beast in human clothing, for the sake of getting in good with those wealthy people, he harmed my sister, you could be next."

"Weiwei, don’t listen to her nonsense," Meng Qiancheng showed a moment of panic.

Cheng Zhiwei frowned, trying to pacify, "Brother Qiancheng isn’t that kind of person..."

"I’m telling you, he also provides those wealthy individuals with all sorts of drugs, some to subdue women, others to help men become aroused," the woman spoke increasingly angrily and sadly, "My foolish sister, seen by Mr. Chen, was preparing to resign and hide away, but this scumbag tricked her into a hotel."

Such painful accusations, so genuine and earnest, didn’t seem false.

Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t help but reassess Meng Qiancheng, wondering if the drug Mr. Chen asked for was indeed what this woman described?

Had Meng Qiancheng really sent someone close to him into Mr. Chen’s hands?

Meng Qiancheng’s panic was but a moment, quickly regaining his composure, he explained, "Weiwei, listen to me explain, I do have dealings with Mr. Chen, but I would never do such a thing."

Cheng Zhiwei remained silent without saying a word.

At this point, security came and took the woman away.

Meng Qiancheng hurriedly explained, "Weiwei, don’t listen to her nonsense, I may be Mr. Chen’s personal doctor, and providing him with medication is to treat that aspect of his issues, but I have definitely never provided him with other drugs, nor have I sent him women."
