Chapter 133: Arduous Task

At such a young age, what do you like? Ke Zhongyu got up, said good night to his parents, and went back to his room.

Ke Zhongying stomped down from upstairs, angry.

"Dad, Mom, give me a brother!"

She yelled at the top of her lungs, afraid her older brother Ke Zhongyu wouldn't hear.

Ms. Nian poked her daughter's forehead: "Nonsense."

Ke Fu: "Exactly, if we have another, it'll be a brother."

Ms. Nian glared at her husband: "You're not being serious either."

Ke Zhongying, rolling in her mother's arms from anger: "I don't care, I don't care, I want a different brother!"

……

When Shen Xun got home, Qiao Chuan was directing the staff of various luxury stores to hang clothes in the closet.

When Qiao Chuan saw that President Shen's closet held only his own clothes, with none of his wife's, he thought President Shen finally knew how to cherish his wife, having thrown out her old clothes in advance; otherwise, given his wife's thrifty nature, she would keep wearing them.

"Not enough space here, so hang them in the next room." This was also President Shen's idea, using a guest room as his wife's dressing room.

Qiao Chuan heard the movement and turned around.

"President Shen, I've sorted and placed your wife's clothes and shoes according to your instructions."

Shen Xun looked at the crowded home, suddenly realizing the three-bedroom was too small, and Jiang Lai following him had indeed suffered injustice.

"Go look at houses again these two days."

"Yes."

"Also, why is this house still under my name? Wasn't it already transferred to Jiang Lai?" Shen Xun said, puzzled.

Qiao Chuan also looked surprised: "The house matter was handled by the wife herself; I wasn't involved."

Shen Xun frowned: "Tomorrow, check my assets for any changes."

He suspected that the contract Jiang Lai had him sign involved property, never imagining it would be a divorce agreement.

There is a one-month cooling-off period; as long as he doesn't agree, Jiang Lai cannot divorce him.

If Jiang Lai files for divorce, she will have to face property division.

Jiang Lai now is not the Jiang Lai they thought; her future worth will only keep rising, possibly surpassing his, so she would never agree to divorce and split property.

Shen Xun suddenly felt somewhat relieved, that the marriage system protected his marriage to Jiang Lai.

He could not imagine Jiang Lai divorcing him.

But Jiang Lai is now very angry, unwilling to see him, not ruling out the possibility of suing for divorce.

If she files for divorce on the grounds of his infidelity, Jiang Lai would not have to split property, and his assets would be divided completely.

What matters now is how to justify every penny spent on Lin Shutong.

This has also become Qiao Chuan's most arduous task recently.

When Qiao Chuan received this task, his mind went blank for a while before he nodded and said yes.

Originally he had been glad his boss was President Shen, as pure and clear as wind and moon, so he didn't have to handle the CEO's household and romantic affairs like other presidential assistants.

He was still too naive.

A presidential assistant cannot escape this matter.

Qiao Chuan took out the Porsche key and handed it to Shen Xun: "President Shen, the wife's gift has already been delivered."

"Okay." Shen Xun took the car key; although it couldn't serve as a celebration-of-winning-bid gift, it could serve as a peace offering.

How could four years of feelings just say they're broken and then be broken?

He will surely mend the rift between them.

"Qiao Chuan, get me a few more phone numbers."

Since Jiang Lai has blocked their whole family, he will use unfamiliar numbers to contact.

Qiao Chuan: "Okay, President Shen."

Shen Xun: "Keep an eye on the Ke Family Eldest Miss; she only has this one friend."

Qiao Chuan: "Okay."

After all the clothes were hung, Shen Xun signaled Qiao Chuan to lead the people out, while he went to wash up.

Just as he lay down, he suddenly received a message from Fu Youlin.

【Shen Xun bro, do you know Jiang Lai?】

Shen Xun recalled Fu Youlin's lovestruck look when he saw Jiang Lai, frowned, and immediately typed to tell him that Jiang Lai was his wife.

Before he finished typing, Fu Youlin's message popped up again.

【Do you have her contact info? Can you give me one?】

Indeed.

Fu Youlin clearly harbored ill intentions toward his wife.

As the message was about to be sent, Shen Xun's finger suddenly paused, and he deleted what he had just typed.

After a moment, he sent Fu Youlin the contact information.

Upon receiving Jiang Lai's contact info, Fu Youlin beamed and immediately clicked to add her.

He held his phone, waiting and waiting, but never got through.

Perhaps it was too late.

Fu Youlin could only go to sleep first, thinking he'd get through when he woke up tomorrow.

Next morning.

Shen Xun's phone lit up; he picked it up and saw a slight curl of his lips.

He tapped his phone.

Fu Youlin, who had woken up at the Fu residence, saw the passed message on his phone, excitedly sprang from bed, and felt refreshed all morning.

Fu Youqing curiously asked: "What's making you so happy?"

Fu Youlin: "You don't understand."

Fu Youqing: "Did you add her as a goddess?"

"How do you know?" Fu Youlin smiled, with two cute dimples on his face.

Fu Youqing looked at her sunny, handsome younger brother: "I'm not trying to discourage you, but girls our age aren't really into the puppy dog type."

"They don't like it, but older sister does." Fu Youlin lightly tossed his phone, showing how happy he was.

"?" Fu Youqing widened her eyes, then suddenly calmed: "No wonder you don't date in school; it turns out you like mature ones."

Fu Youlin waved at her: "I'm going to Star Universe."

The Young Master sat in the luxury car and sent Jiang Lai the first message.

【Hello, I'm Fu Youlin. Do you still remember me?】

Jiang Lai glanced at the message and replied that she remembered.

The next second she received a call from Professor Cheng, asking her to go to the research institute.

Faced with Fu Youlin's intermittently popping-up messages, she replied that she was busy, and finally it stopped.

Jiang Lai took a taxi all the way to the research institute's entrance, finally no longer needing to conceal herself as before.

The guard saw her, immediately stood up and respectfully said: "Dr. Jiang."

"Morning." Jiang Lai nodded at him, and everyone she met on the way greeted her.

"Dr. Jiang, morning."

"Dr. Jiang, congratulations."

Jiang Lai responded with a smile and nod to each, while Professor Cheng and Xiao Qian stood on the third-floor skybridge watching.

Xiao Qian sighed: "It's hard on the senior sister; if she doesn't smile or respond, people might say she's arrogant."

Professor Cheng turned and said: "Let's go, let's take a look at your senior sister's new office."

"Okay!"

The three met at the office door.

After entering, Professor Cheng got straight to the point and said: "This is the house the state has arranged for you; regarding your title, we've already submitted it for approval. Besides, there are several invitation letters from universities, offering conditions better than the last, including research funds, settlement allowances, and future children's education, etc. Please look them over carefully."

Jiang Lai looked at the house first.

Yanping Road Number Ten Courtyard, although it looks like an ordinary old residential complex from the outside, every holiday the entrances of every household are lined with queues.

Even takeout deliveries require security checks here.

It has very high privacy.

Professor Cheng said: "Move there, and even if Shen Xun wants to harass you, he won't be able to get in."

Jiang Lai nodded: "I'll move there as soon as possible."

"There's another matter." Xiao Qian interjected at the right moment: "It concerns the investigation and punishment of Ji Lao."
