Chapter 216: Episode 216 Just Reap the Fisherman’s Benefit1

"Hello, Miss Zhang! Would you say something? There really wasn’t anything between us, right? Nothing happened, right?" Yuan Weicheng was getting anxious as Zhang Jingwan ignored him, "It was you who provoked me first, right? I... I’ve never, never been attracted to you, yes, that’s right?"

"Yes, that’s right! I was the one who sought you out, why make a fuss about it! You took my company’s money, but didn’t bring us the business we expected, shouldn’t I ask you to clarify things?" Zhang Jingwan looked up angrily at Yuan Weicheng, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Right, nothing indeed happened between us, but what is this? Huh? And what about this? Would you dare to check your transaction records in front of Sister Ye?" Zhang Jingwan pulled out two cards from her bag.

One was from the first time they had arranged to meet, which Yuan Weicheng had stuffed into her coat pocket, and the other was inexplicably in her bag that day.

Both cards clearly showed the name of the hotel, the agreed time, and the room number.

"You, you’re slandering me! Who, who knows if you’re not the one who booked the room and then, then pinned it on me!" Yuan Weicheng defended himself frantically.

"Does it make sense for me? To imitate your handwriting? And then write two cards and put them in my bag? Am I out of my mind to do such a thing?" Zhang Jingwan laughed coldly.

When men are shameless, they really do throw all kinds of dirt on others.

"Xiaoye, look, she, she admits that she imitated my handwriting! You mustn’t believe her!" Yuan Weicheng, true to form, continued to sling mud at Zhang Jingwan.

"Enough already, Old Yuan, you’re stuttering so badly, I’d believe her any day over you! Hand over your bag..." Ye Wenxin reached out, waiting for Yuan Weicheng to pass his bag over.

"My bag, why, why do you need it?" Yuan Weicheng looked at her more nervously, subconsciously holding his bag close.

"Hurry up! Don’t mess with me!" Seeing no response from the man, Ye Wenxin snatched the bag from his embrace.

After a thorough search, no room cards were found.

"There, I told you... I didn’t book any room. You see, you still don’t believe it. Would I risk my career over a young girl?" At that moment, Yuan Weicheng flicked his hair, adopting a superior attitude as if he had been wrongfully accused and was expecting an apology.

"Hello? Could you check the booking records for the ID number 3013441974XXXXXXXX, please..."

Yuan Weicheng had never imagined that Zhang Jingwan would actually recite his ID number and call the pre-booked hotel’s front desk.

"Hey! What are you doing! Hotel staff can’t divulge customer information..." Yuan Weicheng reached over the table trying to grab Zhang Jingwan’s phone.

"What’s the matter? Feeling guilty? Weren’t you the one who said no room was booked? If you didn’t book it, you have nothing to fear from checking, right?" Ye Wenxin knocked his hand back, "I also want to know whether you actually booked a room or not."

"Oh, I see, thank you. A king-sized bed, is it? The deposit’s been paid? Just need to collect the card before 12 o’clock? Alright, got it! Thank you!" Zhang Jingwan hung up the phone.

"The room is a king size bed one, and they said you often book rooms there because you want to be lucky, so the room number is always the same!" Zhang Jingwan spoke slowly and deliberately, "The front desk even urged you to check in soon, or they’ll start charging extra after 12 o’clock!"

"You’re slandering me! Cut the crap! Young ladies should not, should not make wanton accusations against others!" Although the curse words kept coming, Yuan Weicheng’s tone wasn’t as forceful as before, showing a hint of guilt.

"Sister Ye, we might as well stop wasting our time with this guy and just go to the hotel, see if he admits it then," Zhang Jingwan said, completely disregarding Yuan Weicheng’s swearing and turning to look at Ye Wenxin.

"That’s right, arguing here is also affecting other people’s business. I’ve settled the bill, let’s go!"

Ye Wenxin and Zhang Jingwan were worried Yuan Weicheng would slip away, so they each grabbed one of his arms, nearly hoisting him up, and left the restaurant, heading to the underground parking garage.

Ye Wenxin drove the three of them to the hotel Yuan Weicheng had booked, went straight to the front desk for the key card, and confidently headed to the room.

Now Yuan Weicheng didn’t have much to say. The room was decorated like a marriage proposal scene, with the bed covered in rose petals arranged in a heart shape, and walls covered with colorful balloons, each one printed with ’I love you’ in different languages.

"Ugh... Can’t you come up with something more original? I’ll have you know, even if I’m divorced, I wouldn’t be with someone with such a twisted aesthetic!" After surveying the room, Zhang Jingwan didn’t hold back his criticisms, "Sister Ye, you should get a divorce from this guy pronto! Cut your losses!"

"You two know each other?" It was only now that Yuan Weicheng started to realize what was going on.

"No, I just feel sorry for Sister Ye. What’s not to like about her? Why would you have an affair with me, a divorced person? Chasing after me relentlessly, saying stuff like ’even when I’m with Sister Ye, all I can think about is you.’ Looking forward to... Ah?" Zhang Jingwan pulled out his phone, reading the chat history between him and Yuan Weicheng.

"That’s all... all just nonsense I spouted! Xiaoye, you mustn’t believe it!" Yuan Weicheng was almost ready to kneel to Ye Wenxin, but his strong sense of pride wouldn’t allow him to do so.

"Actually, this room... I used it to..." Yuan Weicheng paused, trying to think of any reason that might placate her, "Right! This room was for celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary! I didn’t expect her to come out of nowhere and ruin everything!"

If not for Ye Wenxin holding him back, Yuan Weicheng might have gone for Zhang Jingwan’s throat, wanting to put him to death on the spot.

"Feeling frantic now, aren’t you? Rage-induced, right? When you see the situation is slipping out of your control, you think about murdering someone to silence them?" Zhang Jingwan stood his ground, still taunting the other’s fragile nerves.

"What do you want? What are you trying to do? Feeling guilty as a thief, huh? Daring to attack a young lady in front of me? You’re ruthless!" Ye Wenxin pointed at Yuan Weicheng’s nose, "I’m informing you again, no! I’m telling you, come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for divorce on Wednesday! The longer you drag this out, the worse it’ll be for you!"

"Divorce? Impossible! You all are pressuring me, right? Don’t blame me if I lose my temper and make you regret it!"

The main reason Yuan Weicheng’s relationship with Ye Wenxin was a marriage in name only was due to her being too assertive. Even the account group was purchased by her, as she didn’t want her husband to be talked about by others.

But she never expected that he, living in comfort and luxury, would cheat on her? It seemed he had had enough of this kind of life.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang. A bunch of people stood at the entrance, all looking furious and not the kind to be trifled with.
