Chapter 113: Doesn't His Conscience Hurt?

~7 min read 1,320 words

"Xiaoli, where have you reached?"

"We are all here at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. How much longer until you arrive?"

"Alright, alright, then we'll wait for you a while longer. Be careful on the road."

At the entrance of the Shangcheng District Civil Affairs Bureau, the Zhou Yue family stood by the steps waiting, looking toward the road from time to time.

Zhou Yue hung up the phone, and Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan immediately crowded around.

"How is it? Are they here?"

"Where have they reached?"

Zhou Xiaojun was also watching eagerly from the side. Today, he had changed into a groom-style suit and had even put pomade in his hair, making him look slick and shiny, though his thin frame couldn't quite fill out the clothes, looking a bit awkward.

"Almost here, said five more minutes."

When Zhou Yue said this, she looked at her younger brother Zhou Xiaojun and warned him uneasily: "Xiaojun, I'm telling you, no matter what, you cannot let anything slip about that matter, you hear? If she asks you later, just say it's nothing, understand?"

Zhou Xiaojun nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sis, I'm not stupid! Let's just coax her into getting the certificate first."

"Right, right, right. Once the certificate is obtained, you two will be legal, and even if she wants to regret it then, it'll be useless!" Xie Fenglan, standing to the side, nodded incessantly, her eyes flashing with greedy light.

The family discussed a few more sentences, and seeing there was nothing left to say, they began to wait blankly, staring eagerly at the end of the road.

Ten minutes later, a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The massive body of the car and the glittering little golden figure immediately attracted the gazes of many passersby.

The Zhou Yue family naturally noticed this car, and they recognized the license plate at a glance.

Isn't this Lin Dazhi's car?

Why did he come over?

Just as the Zhou family looked on with puzzled expressions, Lin Dazhi opened the car door and stepped out.

On the other side, the passenger door also opened, and stepping out was none other than Zhang Xiaoli, dressed in full finery.

She was wearing a high-fashion LV dark red evening gown, and a glittering Cartier jewelry necklace hung around her swan-like white neck, with a huge emerald pendant hanging at the very bottom of the necklace, suspended right above that deep cleavage, as if it were about to fall into an abyss at any moment. Her delicate and charming face was white with a rosy tint, radiating a fully nourished aura from the inside out, as if she were glowing.

Zhou Xiaojun had never seen such a charming Zhang Xiaoli; the moment he saw her, he felt a bit dizzy.

The reaction of the Zhou family was much the same. Looking at this daughter-in-law who was about to marry into the family, Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan both felt a huge sense of worry at this moment.

Such a beautiful woman, is she really someone their own son can hold onto?

It's no wonder they thought this; it was just that the current Zhang Xiaoli was truly too beautiful and too charming. And not only was she beautiful, but she also exuded an elegant aura from the inside out, not much different from those big stars!

Looking at Zhou Xiaojun in contrast, although he had dressed up carefully today—the suit alone cost over a thousand yuan—standing together with Zhang Xiaoli, one could still see the huge gap between the two at a glance. How to put it? It was the kind of gap like a loser standing next to a real big star. Anyone who took one look wouldn't think these two were a match!

Zhou Yue's gaze as she looked at Zhang Xiaoli was even more complicated!

Look at Zhang Xiaoli, then look at herself. They were both women, yet Zhang Xiaoli was covered in designer brands, dripping with jewels, and youthful and beautiful; just standing there, she was the focus of the entire scene.

Look at herself again; although she had worn the most expensive clothes in her closet and had applied exquisite makeup, she was still more than a little bit behind compared to Zhang Xiaoli!

How could it be like this?

Clearly, half a month ago when she saw Zhang Xiaoli, the latter was still just a common girl washing faces in a beauty salon. Although she looked decent, at a glance she had that "delinquent girl" vibe.

How did she become like this in less than half a month?

Looking at her, then looking at Lin Dazhi, the surprise in Zhou Yue's eyes turned into hatred!

Zhang Xiaoli's transformation had a direct connection to her ex-husband!

If he hadn't given Zhang Xiaoli five million, how could this woman afford such an expensive sports car? How could she afford such expensive clothes and jewelry?

In Zhou Yue's view, Zhang Xiaoli's temperament was just propped up by money!

The problem was, he would rather give five million to Zhang Xiaoli than to her!

By what right?

She had spent five years with him!

Shouldn't all the money he earned be handed over to her for safekeeping?

For so many years, how many grievances had she suffered following him? She hadn't lived in a big villa, hadn't driven a sports car, and even her cosmetics were just ordinary goods costing a few thousand yuan a set!

Now it's fine; he's divorced and successful, but he has forgotten all the grievances she suffered for so many years! If this man had even a shred of conscience, he wouldn't do this! He actually gave Zhang Xiaoli so much money; wouldn't his conscience hurt?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yue looked at Lin Dazhi coldly and said with full hostility: "Lin Dazhi, today is the day my brother and Zhang Xiaoli are getting married and registering their marriage; what are you here for?"

"That's right, what are you here for? Lili has her own car, why did you need to drive her?" Xie Fenglan, standing to the side, said in a shrill voice, her tone filled with intense hostility.

"Sis, Mom, don't talk about Lin like that. Lin is my boss now. After Xiaojun and I finish registering, I still have to go to the company with Lin to handle some things, that's why we came together," Zhang Xiaoli explained hurriedly.

"Boss? He's your boss?" Zhou Xiaojun, standing to the side, couldn't accept this and pointed at Lin Dazhi.

"Yeah, didn't brother-in-law say a while ago that he wanted to get into the medical aesthetics industry? He registered a company called New World, and brother-in-law is planning to hire me as his CEO. How about that, Xiaojun? Your wife is capable, right?" Zhang Xiaoli said proudly.

"Really? Also, why do you still call him brother-in-law? He's already divorced my sister!" Zhou Xiaojun heard Zhang Xiaoli's words, looked at Lin Dazhi with half-belief, and said with some displeasure.

"Oh, calling him that just makes us seem close! Brother-in-law's business is so big now and developing so well, don't you want your sister to remarry him?" Zhang Xiaoli said in a low voice.

"Pfft, how big?" Zhou Xiaojun muttered in a low voice, feeling unconvinced.

Hearing Zhou Xiaojun's words, Zhang Xiaoli smiled and said to Zhou Yue and the old couple of the Zhou family: "You guys don't know yet, right? Brother-in-law just took out a loan of two billion from the Shangcheng District Bank, and it will arrive tomorrow! Now the company's paperwork has all been registered, and he's just preparing to hire people."

"What? Two billion?"

"How does he dare?"

"Isn't he afraid of losing it all?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoli's words, everyone in the Zhou family looked at Lin Dazhi as if they had seen a ghost!
