"……Don't be angry, I just..."
"I didn't want to give you a chance, but since your attitude is decent, fine, I'll give you one. Where do you want to eat?"
Wen Ruxu named a restaurant, and the two met up quickly.
Upon meeting, he immediately complained to Jiang Jingyu about his life being hell.
"My foundation is too poor, and I have no hope of getting into good universities in China. My parents have decided to send me abroad. I've been preparing for the IELTS and TOEFL tests recently. It's too painful, too painful."
"It's good that I can come out and talk with you today to relieve my frustration, otherwise, I'd go crazy."
The two chatted about other things. As the dishes started to arrive, they continued their conversation while eating.
Wen Ruxu asked him how his recent days had been.
Jiang Jingyu said he was doing well, but he had encountered a few scummy people that left him feeling quite annoyed.
"Didn't you go to work at your family's company? And someone still dares to bother you?"
Jiang Jingyu replied, "Even if I go to work at my family's company, I can't reveal my true identity. Otherwise, everyone would defer to me, and what would I learn?"
"That's true. Then tell me, how did that person bother you?"
Jiang Jingyu naturally dared not mention his dealings with Lu Jiaying. He recounted the story, omitting certain details.
He only said that he was schemed against by Xu Lei and now wanted revenge. However, he couldn't do it within the company, so he had to act in private and asked Wen Ruxu for help.
Wen Ruxu pondered for a moment.
"Act in private? Then destroy her family, make her lose everything!"
"As expected, I need to find you for this kind of thing," Jiang Jingyu said, putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Then tell me, how exactly should we make her lose everything?"
"I think the best way is to investigate her husband."
"Didn't someone say it? Middle-aged women are most protective of their husbands, afraid that the man they've followed and worked so hard for all these years, the empire they've built, will be snatched away by another woman."
"Let's start from there. Let's see if her husband has anyone else besides her. If he does, help her husband divorce her, leave her with nothing. Wouldn't that be immensely satisfying?"
Jiang Jingyu felt that this idea was indeed malicious and immensely satisfying.
He patted Wen Ruxu on the shoulder.
"Very good, let's do that. I'll entrust this glorious mission to you."
"Ah, entrust it to me? Are you sure you can trust me to do it alone?"
"Don't worry. I won't abandon this. We'll stay in touch."
The next day, Jiang Jingyu went to work as usual. Wen Ruxu used his free time to conduct his investigation and indeed found some information.
Xu Lei's husband had someone else, and it seemed to have been going on for a long time.
He had settled that woman in a high-end residential area. They were seen together frequently outside of work hours, appearing like a loving couple.
Wen Ruxu sent him a large number of photos.
"Since this man's choice is so young and beautiful, he must already be tired of that 'old hag' Xu Lei. I suspect he's planning to divorce her, but he's not ready regarding the financial matters, which is why Xu Lei hasn't noticed yet."
At this point, Jiang Jingyu had an idea and said to Wen Ruxu.
"I have a good idea."
"What good idea?"
"You personally step forward, pretend to be intimate with Xu Lei, and deliberately leave a loophole for her husband to catch. This way, her husband can be the aggrieved party and make her leave with nothing."
"Ah? You want me to get close to her?"
"It's not real. Can't you control yourself and not let her take advantage of you!"
"That's still quite disgusting. Didn't you say that woman is almost forty? She could be my mother."
Jiang Jingyu said, "If you can get this done for me, tell me, which school do you want to attend for your golden opportunity? I'll get you there directly."
