However, Lin Wanmeng’s reputation, status, and strength made her someone that he could not scold at will.

“Okay, whatever you say.”

Shen Yusong’s good attitude obviously caused Shi Qiuqiu to be dissatisfied.

She had always flaunted her prowess in front of Lin Wanmeng. This time, Shi Yanru had been beaten up. Shi Qiuqiu had come with the intention of venting her anger.

No one had told her about what happened in the company, so she thought that she was a high and mighty young lady. She was not afraid of returning the slap.

Naturally, Lin Wanmeng could dodge such a weak attack and did not take it to heart.

Just as she was about to take a step back, the strength of an arm suddenly appeared at her waist. It turned out that He Yan had wrapped his arm around her waist and took a step back, grabbing Shi Qiuqiu’s wrist.

“Who are you?” Shi Qiuqiu glared at He Yan. The other party smiled and didn’t say anything, but Shen Yusong’s face instantly turned pale.

Ye Lingxiao might not be afraid of this person, but it was impossible for him not to be.

Shen Yusong quickly pulled Shi Qiuqiu back and apologized, “CEO He, I’m really sorry. I’ll bring her away now.”

Shi Qiuqiu was not going to fall for it. She shook off Shen Yusong’s hand and looked at He Yan in confusion. When she looked at Lin Wanmeng again, she suddenly realized something. “I was wondering why a little b*tch like you suddenly became so confident. It turns out that you’ve hooked up with another man.”

If Lin Wanmeng could stand aside and watch the show just now, Shi Qiuqiu’s reaction had successfully angered her.

Fortunately, Lin Wanmeng didn’t want to get angry with such a person. She turned on her phone in front of Shi Qiuqiu.

“Who are you calling?” Shi Qiuqiu was nervous.

Lin Wanmeng did not even look up. “Lin Bo.”

Upon hearing that she was calling Lin Bo, Shi Qiuqiu was no longer nervous. Instead, she said arrogantly, “Sure. Call Dad over to see if he wants you or me?”

At this moment, Shen Yusong did not say anything. He looked at the two of them suspiciously, as if he was weighing which woman would benefit him more.

Shi Qiuqiu wanted to pull Shen Yusong’s hand, but he carefully avoided her.

This time, Shi Qiuqiu finally felt Shen Yusong’s coldness towards her. She was instantly dissatisfied. “Are you going back on your word, Brother Yusong?”

Shen Yusong didn’t say anything. Shi Qiuqiu transferred her hatred to Lin Wanmeng. “What are you looking at? He’s mine.”

“If it weren’t for that old man’s assets, do you think Dad would have married your mother? She doesn’t know anything. Even after giving birth to a daughter, she’s still like a silly goose. She can’t win a man’s heart.”

Lin Wanmeng smiled, but her eyes were very cold. She took out her phone and recorded Shi Qiuqiu’s bold words.

She had previously said that Shi Yanru still owed her a slap. Since Shi Qiuqiu had delivered herself to her door, she would let her pay it back.

Five minutes later, Lin Bo had obviously just returned home when Lin Wanmeng called him over.

When he arrived at the car dealership, before he could say anything nice to Lin Wanmeng, she raised her eyebrows and took out her phone to play what Shi Qiuqiu had just said to her.

Shi Qiuqiu bit her lower lip and was about to wheedle when she saw the livid Lin Bo walking towards her. He raised his hand and gave her a tight slap.

This slap was much harder than the one Lin Wanmeng had given Shi Yanru. Shi Qiuqiu’s face was swollen, and her face was tilted to the side. Physical tears rolled down her face.

“This is how Shi Yanru usually teaches you to speak. Do you know who she is?” This time, Lin Bo did not dare to casually acknowledge her as his relative.

Shi Qiuqiu covered her face and looked at Lin Bo, who was usually kind and gentle to her, in disbelief. She still shouted stubbornly, “I’m telling the truth. Why did you hit me? Shouldn’t you hit her? She already hit my mother.”

Lin Bo’s face twitched. Clearly, he didn’t expect Shi Qiuqiu to embarrass him so much outside.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Su Qin is my ex-wife. The Lin family relied on the Su family to get to where they are today. Do you understand?”

It was indeed embarrassing for Lin Bo to admit that he was living off a woman in public, but he was already used to it. He gritted his teeth and hated it. When he made a comeback one day, he would definitely teach the Qinyu Company and Lin Wanmeng a lesson.

After this performance, Lin Bo probably felt that it was enough. He put on a smile again and said with guilt and pity, “You also know that we’ve spoiled this child. Just treat her as your relative and don’t blame her.”

Lin Wanmeng only smiled. She walked to Shi Qiuqiu’s side. The other party was still glaring at her, but she didn’t dare to attack. “Tell Shi Yanru that previously I said she still owes me a slap. Now, you’ve returned it.”

Shen Yusong looked at the situation from the side, deep in thought.

He did not support Shi Qiuqiu. Instead, he walked quickly to Lin Wanmeng.

“Uncle isn’t here?” Shen Yusong pretended to frown. “You’re a member of the Ye family. You don’t need Mr. He to take care of you. I’ll send you back.”

Lin Wanmeng glanced at him indifferently. “No need, nephew.”

She pointed casually. “I’ll take this car.”

Shen Yusong looked over and clicked his tongue.

Not only was this car the latest model, but it was also custom-made by the He Corporation. Could Lin Wanmeng afford it with her current financial resources?

Lin Wanmeng was not overestimating herself. It was mainly because He Yan had exaggerated a lot when introducing the price.

Shi Qiuqiu was taken away by Lin Bo. Before she left, she looked at Shen Yusong indignantly.

Shen Yusong’s eyes flashed with fanaticism. If he could work with the current Lin Wanmeng, would he be able to compete with Ye Lingxiao?

Moreover, Lin Wanmeng’s identity as Mrs. Ye was very useful.

After thinking this through, Shen Yusong looked at Lin Wanmeng with a gentle gaze.

However, it was obvious that Lin Wanmeng did not fall for his tricks. Shen Yusong knew that Lin Wanmeng was no longer the brainless and silly woman from before, so he did not act rashly this time.

He took the initiative to leave with the intention of playing hard to get. He Yan said teasingly, “President Lin, I’m afraid being pestered by such a man will be cumbersome for you.”

Lin Wanmeng only wanted to laugh coldly. She knew what Shen Yusong’s personality was like before, but it seemed that the lesson she taught him last time was not enough.

That night, Ye Lingxiao sat on the sofa in the living room, which was a rare sight. Lin Wanmeng pretended to greet him and walked to the bedroom.

This was the first time the two of them had slept on the same bed since the banquet. However, their backs were facing each other. In the dark space, no one could tell what the other party was thinking.

“I heard you got a new car.”

“The car broke down. I bought one.”

Ye Lingxiao was silent for a long time before he said, “If you need it, you can choose any from the Ye family’s garages.”

Before Lin Wanmeng could reject him, he added, “You’re Mrs. Ye. The Ye family should provide you with tools to travel.”

“There’s no need. I—”

Ye Lingxiao changed the topic and questioned, “Do you want a divorce now?”
