“What did you say?” Lu Chengchen’s gaze darkened as he stared straight at Pei Heng.

“You don’t know?” Pei Heng saw that Lu Chengchen really didn’t know and hurriedly explained in a low voice, “He’s the boss of this resort. Back then, there was even a human life involved, he almost went to jail. He spent money to get someone to be the scapegoat, then did he survive. But he still didn’t restrain himself afterward. Some time ago, he even played a woman until she had to be hospitalized. Everyone in the circle knows about this.”

There was a circle for rich playboys.

Pei Heng was an unorthodox person, so he knew a lot of things that weren’t presentable. Lu Chengchen was usually busy with business matters, and it was already tiring for him to scheme and devise strategies, so he didn’t pay much attention to such information.

Lu Chengchen was lying on the sofa. His expression was slightly dark, and no one could tell what he was feeling.

Pei Heng waited for a long time but did not receive a reply. He could not help but ask, “Chenchen, are you really not going to care about this?”

“Care?” Lu Chengchen looked up.

He scoffed, his gaze dark and his tone cold. “Who cares about her? Who cares? She has her own thoughts. Whatever she’s doing, she should have considered it already. Why should I be a busybody?”

Pei Heng was flabbergasted.

“How is this being a busybody?” Pei Heng couldn’t understand Lu Chengchen’s thoughts. That was his wife. Although they didn’t have any feelings for each other and had no actual relationship, she was still his wife.

He couldn’t help but add, “This isn’t a simple matter. Are you sure you’re not caring?”

“I don’t need to care about her. It’s troublesome.” Lu Chengchen’s tone was already impatient, and he looked like he would leave if Pei Heng dared to say it again.

He raised his head and downed the glass of red wine in one go.

Pei Heng looked at Song Wei’s nonchalant expression and wanted to persuade him. However, he remembered that his best friend was the most important, he couldn’t upset his best friend because of Song Wei.

OK, he’ll shut up.

As for Song Wei, he could only apologize to her. She was willing to make a cuckold out of him, so there was no need for him to mention it.

…

Song Wei ordered lunch and worked in her room in the afternoon. When Wang Yu called her occasionally, she could handle it skillfully.

She hung up the phone again and looked at the wall clock.

Well, it was past six.

She put away her work and went to wash up before putting on her makeup again. In order to look more professional, she changed into a black long-sleeved dress and matching low-heeled shoes. It was almost seven o’clock when she finished packing up. She took the contract and rushed to the restaurant.

There was already someone waiting for her at the restaurant. It was the secretary of her business partner, a bespectacled man in his thirties.

“President Song, CEO Zhang is on his way here. Please wait for a moment.” The man was very polite as he pulled out the chair and invited Song Wei to take a seat.

Song Wei smiled lightly, “Thank you.”

“CEO Song, you’re too kind.” After the man finished speaking, he looked at Song Wei meaningfully before standing aside.

The waiting process was boring.

Song Wei raised her wrist several times to look at the time. Suddenly, she felt a line of sight staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but look up.

The secretary smiled politely and asked, “President Song, do you need any help?”

“No, no need.” Song Wei couldn’t help but look at him again, but seeing that his expression was normal, she couldn’t help but think that she had seen it wrongly.

At nine o’clock, there were only a few people left in the restaurant. She finally couldn’t wait any longer.

She rose. “Excuse me—”

Suddenly, a phone rang.

“Sorry.” The secretary interrupted her. He looked at his phone and immediately said to Song Wei, “President Song, CEO Zhang is here. I’ll pick him up.”

He then left.

Song Wei watched him walk towards the elevator in shock. Soon, the elevator door opened and a man in his forties walked out..
