Sitting in the restaurant, Chu Yi felt like her money was being spent rapidly as she watched the two people next to her order food.

One was the CEO of Song Corporation, and the other was Young Master Shen. Every dish they ordered made her feel like it could feed her, Xu Yin, and Tian Peng for a week.

But when she thought about how much they had helped her today, Chu Yi gritted her teeth and decided that this meal was worth it!

Shen Kai was particularly happy today. “The three of us have won big gain a complete victory today. We have to celebrate with a drink.”

Shen Kai waved his hand and signaled for the waiter to pour everyone a full glass of red wine. Chu Yi looked at the half-empty bottle of Lafite and felt increasingly uneasy.

As Shen Kai raised his glass, Chu Yi remembered how Song Ting had an allergic reaction the last time. She quickly grabbed Song Ting’s glass and said, “Let me drink this one for the CEO.”

Shen Kai’s eyes widened as he watched Chu Yi finish Song Ting’s red wine. Then, he toasted with Song Ting and finished the wine in his glass.

“Chu Yi, I’ve underestimated you. Your alcohol tolerance is not bad,” Shen Kai said as he poured more wine for Chu Yi.

In order to prevent Song Ting from drinking, Chu Yi kept picking up Song Ting’s wine glass.

“Are you afraid that your CEO will get drunk?” Shen Kai was a little jealous. “After all, it was Song Ting who asked me to give you the evidence this time. Your big boss has helped so much, but you won’t even let him have a sip of wine?”

Chu Yi was already a little drunk, but when she heard Shen Kai’s words, she became a bit more clear-headed. She looked at the CEO with gratitude and said, “CEO, you’ve helped me again. I’ll raise this glass to you. And I’ll also drink this glass for you!”

She tilted her head back and downed two glasses of wine. “From now on, I’ll be your person in life and your ghost in death. If you ask me to go east, I’ll never go west.”

Song Ting looked at Chu Yi, who was burping, with some disdain, not wanting to talk to her at all.

But in the end, it was Song Ting who paid for their meal.

Shen Kai smiled slyly and said, “I’ve never seen you treat anyone so well before. Why are you even paying for her? Oh, I see, are you interested in her?”

Suddenly, Shen Kai thought of something and asked, “Wait a minute, didn’t you say that you would bring your wife home after you returned to the country? Are you having an affair?”

The word “affair” hurt deeply into Song Ting. He glared at Shen Kai, and Shen Kai tactfully kept his mouth shut.

At this moment, Chu Yi staggered out of the washroom. Shen Kai approached her and said, “Chu Yi, let me send you back. You drank so much. It’s not safe for you to go back alone.”

Chu Yi shook her head and said, “Someone’s coming to pick me up. He’s already here.”

“Your husband?” Shen Kai suddenly remembered that Chu Yi was married.

Chu Yi didn’t respond, but Shen Kai took that as confirmation.

As they left the restaurant, Shen Kai and Song Ting watched as Chu Yi got into Tian Peng’s car.

Shen Kai snorted coldly and said, “He’s nothing special, driving a crappy Volkswagen. Why does Chu Yi like this guy?”

However, Song Ting remained silent. He found Chu Yi’s “husband” looked familiar but couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

Shen Kai patted Song Ting’s shoulder and said, “Alright, stop staring. I’ve called Wang Li to pick us up. Let’s go!”

Wang Li and Shen Kai were Song Ting’s childhood friends, and their families had frequent business dealings. They were among the three most prominent families in S City, and the three of them had a good relationship since childhood.

Wang Li was clearly unhappy about being asked to be the driver. “Are you kidding me? You two go out for drinks without me? And now you want me to be your driver?”

“Don’t blame me, a beautiful woman is treating us, and she doesn’t know you,” Shen Kai said as he sat in the front passenger seat. “Driver, hurry up, or I won’t pay you.”

“Where’s the beauty? You didn’t even call me when there’s beauty involved. That’s not cool,” Wang Li complained. Suddenly, he remembered something. “Young Master Song, what about your wife? You used to mention her all the time when you were overseas. Why haven’t you said anything about her?”

Song Ting gave Wang Li a cold look and said, “Just drive.”

Wang Li didn’t give up and turned to Shen Kai.

“I don’t know either. But if Song Ting doesn’t mention her, it probably means something’s not right,” Shen Kai shrugged.

Wang Li’s face was full of doubt. “What did it mean something’s not right?”

Shen Kai raised his eyebrows. “It means that this Madam Song is not very good!”

Song Ting remained silent in the backseat, ignoring the two in the front. He didn’t answer any of their questions.

It was only when the lawyer called that Song Ting finally spoke up.

“What did you say? No one answered the phone. Didn’t you go to her house to look for her if she didn’t answer? What do I pay you for?” Song Ting angrily hung up the phone and threw it aside. Then, he took out his personal phone and started dialing.

“The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”

D*mn it, this woman dared not to answer the call!

“Bang!” Song Ting threw the phone out again, scaring Wang Li so much that he hit the brakes. “Boss, what are you doing?”
