Shi Qi was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say that he could take her with him, but Su Ruqin waved her hand and said indifferently:

"It's okay, Zhizhi is a girl, it's more convenient for me to take care of her."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Su. Remember to say thank you, Zhizhi."

Shen Zhi obediently agreed and took Su Ruqin's hand, walking a little further away.

After confirming that the people behind her couldn't hear her, Shen Zhi asked, feigning confusion:

"Aunt Su, why is it that you and Uncle Cheng, who are a couple, smell different, but Uncle Cheng smells the same as Aunt Lin?"

Su Ruqin paused in her action of helping Shen Zhi wash her hands.

Shen Zhi, afraid that she hadn't understood, murmured softly again:

"And just now, Zhizhi saw Uncle's feet rubbing against Aunt Lin's trouser leg under the table, leaving shoe prints on Aunt Lin's trousers..."

Now, Su Ruqin could no longer pretend not to understand, and her rosy complexion turned pale instantly.

Shen Zhi felt she had given enough reminders, so she didn't say anything more.

When Shen Zhi returned to her seat after using the restroom, Su Ruqin's expression remained unchanged, as dignified and proper as at the beginning.

As she bent down to pick something up, she glanced up at Lin Zhu's trouser leg across from her and saw a very obvious gray footprint!

Su Ruqin took a deep breath.

Su Ruqin had always been groomed as the heir of the Su family. She had been blinded by love before, but with Shen Zhi's reminder, she quickly came to her senses.

The details that were previously overlooked are now becoming clear, like pearls strung together to form a necklace.

For a fleeting moment, Su Ruqin felt her mind go blank. She couldn't believe that the person she slept next to every day would cheat on her!

He even brazenly brought his mistress to her to discuss a business deal!

This is tantamount to slapping Su Ruqin in the face!

"Wife? What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so pale?" Cheng Sheng met Su Ruqin's eyes, still able to calmly continue to pretend to be a good husband. "Is your stomach hurting again? I'll ask the housekeeper to make you some longan and red date soup when we get back."

Lin Zhu, sitting opposite, said enviously, "President Su and President Cheng have such a good relationship, it's truly enviable."

Cheng Sheng smiled modestly: "With your outstanding qualities, Attorney Lin will surely find a loving husband in the future."

Seeing the subtle exchange of glances between the two, Su Ruqin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

She felt a chill run down her spine, and her body trembled slightly.

He had indeed lied to himself!

Su Ruqin subtly avoided Cheng Sheng's hand that was around her waist, took a sip of coffee on the table, and suppressed her anger.

Breaking up now will do her no good.

She doesn't have evidence of Cheng Sheng's infidelity yet, and she's going to give him half of her assets? Why should she?!

If he can act, so can she.

Shen Zhi noticed Su Ruqin's emotional turmoil, reached out her small hand and gently grasped her cold palm, her eyes full of concern.

Su Ruqin gratefully patted Shen Zhi's head. It was a great joy that they were able to discover it ahead of time today!

Thanks to Zhizhi.

Su Ruqin turned to look at Shi Qi, her attitude sincere:

"I've made up my mind, Attorney Shi. I hope you'll accept my commission."

Shi Qi nodded with a faint smile: "I will do my best to help the Su Group secure its interests."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng and Lin Zhu were both stunned, staring at each other in bewilderment, almost forgetting their pretense.

Su Ruqin saw the whole scene and a mocking smile flashed across her lips.

Cheng Sheng hurriedly advised:

"Honey, how about we reconsider?"

He wanted to persuade her further, but Su Ruqin stood up, her expression cold, revealing an aura of a career woman she had never displayed before:

"You don't support my decision?"

Cheng Sheng was immediately intimidated by Su Ruqin's aura and subconsciously retorted, "No..."

"In that case, there's nothing more to discuss." Su Ruqin bent down to sign the contract Shi Qi had brought, picked up her bag from the chair, and said, "I have other things to do, so I'll head back to the company first."

Shen Zhi quickly stood up and waved her little hand at Su Ruqin: "Goodbye, Aunt Su~"

Su Ruqin finally showed a genuine smile when facing Shen Zhi: "Goodbye, Zhizhi. Auntie will come to the Shen family to visit you again when I have time."

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Zhi touched her little gourd and stared at Su Ruqin's back, silently wishing that Aunt Su would have a smooth and worry-free life and stay away from scumbags and bad things.

With the contracts signed, Shi Qi left with Shen Zhi in a good mood.

Back in the car, Shi Qi received another message from Su Ruqin.

[Attorney Shi, I have another divorce case and would like to ask you to represent me.]

[Also, this red envelope is a small token of my appreciation for Zhizhi; I want to thank her today.]

Shi Qi raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with shock at the news.

The man suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Zhi: "Baby, what did you do?"

Shen Zhi nestled in the back seat, happily slurping down a large cup of bubble tea: "Hmm?"

Shen Zhi then recounted everything she had just discovered word for word, leaving Shi Qi both amused and exasperated.

"No wonder he told me it was 10:30! He was just kidding me!"

"Exactly, they're so mean!" Shen Zhi angrily cursed the two scumbags.

Shi Qi finally realized that he was able to close this deal entirely thanks to Zhi Zhi.

Otherwise, given the affair between Cheng Sheng and Lin Zhu, there's no way he could possibly reach an agreement!

Shi Qi affectionately ruffled Shen Zhi's hair: "Baby! You're such a lucky star for your uncle! Come on, your uncle will take you back to Suzhou. Your grandparents have been waiting for you!"

"Um!"

Shen Zhi swung her dangling legs and leisurely nibbled on the chewy pearls.

Lin Zhu and Cheng Sheng must be very angry~

The angrier they got, the happier Zhizhi became!

The Shi family's old house is located in the north of the city.

As soon as the car turned into the park, Shi Qi saw an old man sitting in the small park in the villa area, frowning as he looked at the chessboard in front of him.

Grandpa Shi fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand, unable to make a move for a long time.

"Dad!" Shi Qi called out as he rolled down the car window.

Just as the old man was starting to get some ideas, this interruption completely broke his train of thought.

He clicked his tongue in exasperation, venting all his resentment on Shi Qi:

"What are you yelling about! I already knew how to leave! It's all your fault!"

Shi Qi's lips twitched with an innocent yet helpless expression.

Grandpa Shi is good in every way, except that his temper gets really bad when it comes to chess.

But he's also a stubborn one.

Every time I fight, I lose.

You can't blame Grandpa Shi for being stupid. Every old man in the park is a ruthless guy from Jiangcheng.

"Dad, stop playing, Zhizhi is here."

"Grandpa!"

Shen Zhi lowered the car window, revealing a porcelain-white, round, smiling face, and waved to Old Master Shi with a beaming smile.

Grandpa Shi had been looking forward to it all morning, and now that he had finally met her in person, he didn't even want to play chess anymore. He quickly got up to go and greet Shen Zhi.

"My darling Zhizhi! Grandpa's finally able to see you!"

Shen Zhi was carried out of the car by Shi Qi, and with her short legs, she ran to Grandpa Shi like a little firecracker, and hugged his leg tightly.

"Hello, Grandpa~"

That soft, gentle "Grandpa" immediately touched the most tender spot in Grandpa Shi's heart.

He didn't look fierce, but because he often had a stern face, he couldn't be considered kind-looking.

Not to mention the other children in the park, even his three grandsons were scared to tears when they first saw him as children.

Shen Zhi was the first child to smile when he saw him.
