Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce
Chapter 91 My Best Friend's Backstabbing
"Huh?" Tang Duo panicked upon hearing this and rushed to Tang Jianguo's side, grabbing his arm and shaking it vigorously. "Uncle! No! I like it here! It's close to school and safe. If my classmates knew I lived here, they would be so envious! Uncle, please let us live here, okay?"
Her words were both naive and realistic.
Looking at her expectant expression, and then at Zhou Cheng standing not far away, smiling as he watched them, Tang Jianguo's last line of defense completely crumbled.
Yes, what are his own pride and discomfort compared to the future of the next generation?
He's old, and this is the end of his life. But the children's lives are just beginning. This man can give them something he could never give them in his entire life.
What else could he say?
Tang Jianguo let out a long breath, as if a huge burden had been lifted. He reached out and touched Tang Duo's head, his voice a little hoarse but steady.
"it is good."
"I'll stay here."
The family officially settled into the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, and Tang Xinyi's days were incredibly sweet.
She no longer had to worry about her parents' safety, nor about the trivial matters at home. Every morning, she would wake up in that large, round bed with a view of the river, with the man who brought her peace of mind lying beside her.
A professional nutritionist prepares breakfast for her, and a driver waits for her downstairs on time to go to the TV station. After work, her home is filled with the laughter of her family and the dinner prepared by the housekeeper.
Zhou Cheng spoiled her rotten.
She casually mentioned which new movie she wanted to see, and the next day, a poster for that movie was hanging in the private cinema on the basement floor. She mentioned which brand of perfume smelled good, and the next day, the entire line of that brand would be displayed in her walk-in closet.
This feeling of being pampered made her completely fall for him. Her inherent aloofness and independence were slowly melting away with this pampering. She became increasingly attached to Zhou Cheng, more and more like a spoiled little woman.
That afternoon, Tang Xinyi, who rarely had free time, invited her best friend Li Na to her house.
Li Na was Tang Xinyi's roommate in college, and they were very close. After graduation, Li Na married a small business owner and lived a decent life, but compared to Tang Xinyi's current life, her life was simply insignificant.
Li Na was driving her BMW 5 Series when she was stopped by security guards at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace in Genting Highlands. After several checks, she was finally allowed to pass, and a wave of bitterness began to rise in her heart.
When she entered Tianjing No. 1 and saw the palatial living room and the unparalleled river view outside the window, she could hardly contain her smile.
"Xinyi! You...you're so lucky!" Li Na hugged Tang Xinyi exaggeratedly, her eyes darting around mischievously. "This...this is your mysterious boyfriend's house? My god, it's so luxurious!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my home too." Tang Xinyi blushed slightly and pulled Li Na to sit down on the sofa. The housekeeper immediately brought out a top-notch afternoon tea.
"Your home?" Li Na immediately grasped the key point, her eyes lighting up. "You two...are you getting married?"
"Yes, he has already told my parents." Tang Xinyi couldn't hide her smile when she mentioned this.
Li Na felt as if something had grabbed her heart tightly.
Jealousy, insane jealousy.
Why? Why could Tang Xinyi find a man like that? In terms of looks, he wasn't much different from her. And in terms of methods, he was far superior to that bookworm!
The subsequent tour was pure torture for Li Na.
The walk-in closet filled with top luxury goods, the fitness area that was even more extravagant than a professional gym, and the indoor heated swimming pool where you could see the stars... With each sight, her heart felt even tighter.
"Xinyi, what does your boyfriend... no, your fiancé do? He's so rich!" Li Na asked casually.
"He...does quite a lot of business, I don't really know," Tang Xinyi said vaguely. It wasn't that she wanted to hide it, but she herself didn't know just how big Zhou Cheng's businesses were.
"Where is he? Not here today? I really want to see him. What kind of magician could pluck such a high-and-mighty flower like you?" Li Na's tone carried a hint of sourness that she herself didn't realize.
"He went to the company and won't be back until tonight."
As the two were chatting, Li Na's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID; it was her husband. Her patience immediately vanished.
"Feed? What for?... You're out of money again? Didn't I just transfer 200,000 to you last week?... Okay, okay, I got it, bye!"
She hung up the phone in frustration and started complaining to Tang Xinyi: "Ugh, don't even mention it. My husband's company is having cash flow problems lately, and he keeps asking me for money. It's so annoying."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Tang Xinyi's expression.
Tang Xinyi asked with some sympathy, "Are you alright? Do you need any help?"
"No, no need," Li Na quickly waved her hand, then changed the subject jokingly, "I just envy you. You found such a capable man; you'll be living the good life from now on. Unlike me, I still have to pay for men's expenses. By the way, Xinyi, could you give me your fiancé's WeChat? We're friends, we should at least get to know each other, right?"
Tang Xinyi didn't think much of it; it was perfectly normal for her best friend to get to know her fiancé. She nodded, "Okay."
She took out her phone, found Zhou Cheng's business card, and handed it to him.
Li Na looked at the business card she had received on her phone. The profile picture of Zhou Cheng was a high-quality black background image. The smile on her lips changed slightly.
……
In the evening, Zhou Cheng returned home.
Tang Xinyi immediately came to greet him, helping him take off his coat and get his slippers.
"Are you tired today? Auntie made you some soup."
"It's alright." Zhou Cheng pinched her cheek and kissed her on the lips.
After dinner, Tang Xinyi watched TV with her parents and Tang Duo in the living room, while Zhou Cheng went upstairs to the study to handle emails.
He had just turned on his computer when his phone vibrated.
A WeChat friend request.
Applicant: Nana.
The profile picture is a heavily photoshopped image of an internet celebrity, wearing a revealing tank top and heavy makeup.
Zhou Cheng recognized her at a glance; it was Tang Xinyi's best friend from that afternoon.
He opened the other person's WeChat Moments, which was full of photos showing off their wealth and physique, accompanied by pretentious captions that reeked of cheap, manipulative behavior.
The application information read: "Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm Li Na, Xin Yi's best friend. It's nice to meet you~ [cute]"
Zhou Cheng's lips twitched, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He'd seen plenty of this kind of person. They'd just seen Tang Xinyi's life, lost their composure, and wanted to try their luck and see if they could get some benefits too.
Normally, he wouldn't even bother to look at these friend requests.
But today, he clicked "pass".
