Chapter 55: Chapter 52: Pei Rou’s Retribution; Haunted Office Building (Added Chapter)

Chu Yan helped Qin Zhao tidy up the living room, then comforted the wronged Hellhound for a while.

He said to Qin Zhao, "If you still want a divorce, we’ll need to go through the trouble of getting a marriage certificate again.

Not only will it require a family member to act as a witness, but we’ll also need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and deal with a pile of paperwork."

"..."

Qin Zhao sat on the sofa, feeling depressed, and massaged her brow.

"It might be better to not divorce."

Her long, dark lashes lowered slightly, and she spoke softly, "Before my mother passed away, she always talked about the matter of settling down. She worried that once she was gone, I wouldn’t have a home.

I know you don’t like me, but since we’re married, I’ll sincerely treat you as my wife."

Chu Yan lifted his eyes to look at Qin Zhao, his grip tightening slightly on the Hellhound, "Can we just get along like this for a while? If in the end, you still can’t stand me," his voice dropped, "I will agree to a divorce."

He was so earnest when he said these words.

Qin Zhao seemed to feel a sense of desolation in those calm phoenix eyes.

Especially that sentence, I know you don’t like me...

She faintly heard a hint of grievance.

Qin Zhao knew he was the reincarnation of that person, but he had no memories of his past life and was wholly unaware of the entanglements between them, yet she harbored such intense hatred towards him, which seemed somewhat unfair.

After a long while, Qin Zhao only dropped a sentence, "Then let’s not divorce for now." After all, reissuing a marriage certificate was quite troublesome, and then she quickly returned to her own room.

His cold and slender fingertips slowly stroked the Hellhound’s back.

The cold and handsome man’s mouth curved into a slight smile, chuckling softly, his eyes brightening with a touch of pleasure, far from looking pitiful.

The next day.

Qin Zhao slept until the sun was high in the sky.

When she got up, she found that all the broken furniture in the living room had been replaced with new ones, and the air was filled with a sweet scent, seemingly from some delicious food.

Chu Yan came out of the kitchen, his usually cold aura softened, his eyes and brows gentle.

"I’m not very busy today, so I made you lunch."

Qin Zhao maintained her icy demeanor. After calming down overnight, she felt that Chu Yan was just pretending to be pitiful last night.

She couldn’t help but silently chant to herself: Don’t pity men, don’t be soft-hearted towards men. Pitying men is bad luck for a lifetime! Being soft-hearted towards men is bad luck for eight generations!

But it smelled so good. What did Chu Yan make for lunch?

Her legs uncontrollably led her to the dining room, where she sat down to eat.

Since she couldn’t get a divorce right now, what was wrong with eating something Chu Yan had made? Hadn’t she cooked for him last time too?

She’d just kick him to the curb once she got tired of him!

Yes, that’s it!

After various self-assurances, Qin Zhao naturally began to eat her lunch.

Almost finished eating, Chu Yan handed her some paperwork.

"I’ve heard fortune-telling can have an effect on oneself, so you better not do it for others in the future. And while you’re at it, go to the hospital to check if there’s anything wrong with your health."

The paperwork was a medical examination appointment that Chu Yan had made for her.

In addition to that, Chu Yan handed her a Black Gold Card that looked quite expensive.

"Fortune-telling doesn’t have much of an effect on me." Qin Zhao mumbled under her breath, then picked up the Black Gold Card, "What’s this for?"

Chu Yan: "It’s for my wife’s living expenses."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Her cheeks, uncontrollably, felt a bit hot.

The Black Gold Card seemed to burn her hand as well, so Qin Zhao quickly set it down.

Ha, that bastard thinks he can tie her down with money to a marriage grave, absolutely impossible!

"I have something to do this afternoon, I’m heading out first."

Qin Zhao wolfed down her meal and swiftly made her escape.

Chu Yan watched her leave, a gentle smile playing at the corners of his eyes.

When Qin Zhao arrived at the company, she learned from Su Xiaotong that Wang Sui’s wife had found evidence of his affair with Pei Rou and was cursing Pei Rou on the internet.

Moreover, she threatened that anyone who dared to work with Pei Rou would be opposing her.

As a producer, Wang Sui’s position mainly hinged on the influence of Mrs. Wang’s family.

Now that his wife was blasting Pei Rou online, Wang Sui couldn’t utter a word in defense.

Following this incident, Pei Rou’s reputation was ruined, and many netizens flocked to her Weibo to vent for Mrs. Wang, turning it into a battlefield.

Mrs. Wang’s family held power; initially, when Pei Rou did something wrong, Wang Sui could cover for her, but now Mrs. Wang was revealing it all, claiming she would send Pei Rou to prison.

"Mrs. Wang said she wants to sue Pei Rou, can she win?"

Su Xiaotong was engrossed in this online drama and excitedly asked Qin Zhao.

"She caused harm, how could it not succeed?"

Pei Rou had hit a boy with her car and fled the scene – hit and run – that prison sentence is guaranteed.

The entertainment industry harbored its fair share of shady dealings, and among those Qin Zhao dealt with, many were unclean. But as long as it didn’t bother her, she wouldn’t actively intervene.

This Pei Rou had repeatedly been a nuisance in front of her, so Qin Zhao decided to gift her a prison package.

"Qin Zhao."

As the two left the office, they heard someone call Qin Zhao’s name.

A man in a suit walked towards them, quite handsome.

Qin Zhao paused for a moment before realizing, "Uncle, what are you doing at my company?"

The person who called Qin Zhao was none other than her uncle by marriage, Qin Yu. He was the boss of an entertainment company. When the original host first entered the industry, it was with Qin Yu’s help that she was able to get resources.

"I came to Guanghua for a meeting and just happened to see you here."

Qin Yu thought for a moment and then said, "The internet is abuzz with your fortune-telling and exorcism abilities, talking about it like it’s magic. How come I didn’t know about this?"

"Just happened to meet a master who told me I have Talent, so I learned a bit," Qin Zhao fabricated, noticing a ghostly aura on Qin Yu and asked, "Have you encountered something strange?"

Qin Yu looked at her, his eyes filled with surprise.

"How did you know?"

"It’s apparent from your facial features."

"Why don’t you come and take a look for me? It’s not that I’ve encountered something strange but rather some of our staff have. They say the new office building is haunted."

"Have you been to that building?"

"Yeah, a few times, but I never saw a ghost. I was initially skeptical, but two employees got scared sick, costing the company quite a bit of money, so I wanted to find a master to check it out."

Whether a ghost scares someone depends on the person’s Qi Fortune. Qin Yu has a strong destiny, coupled with the zodiac signs of dragon and tiger; normally, ghosts wouldn’t dare cling to him. That’s why he carries a ghostly aura but has never seen one.

"Shall I go now?" Qin Zhao smiled, "Uncle, you know I charge for exorcism."

"If you can really solve it, money is no object."

It wasn’t that Qin Zhao was greedy; she didn’t lack money. However, when she helped exorcise ghosts or tell fortunes, there had to be a price; otherwise, she would be the one to pay.

Together, they headed to the parking lot, and Qin Yu drove her to his newly purchased office building.
