Chapter 417: “I have an awful idea. Do you want to hear it?” (2)
“I don’t even want to talk about it. My ex-husband’s affair whom he married had a miscarriage. The doctors told them that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again so now they are eyeing Tianbao.” The thought of it made Shu Yan angry.
“From what you have told me in the past, your ex-husband is not a faithful person. Will he even stay with that Li Jiaojiao in a long run?” There weren’t that many faithful ones out there to begin with, especially for someone who already have a track record. Hu Ruixue did not believe that Ye Zhiqiang would remain faithful to Li Jiaojiao.
The two were a loving couple in the original novel. Nevermind that Ye Zhiqiang had never cheated on Li Jiaojiao, he never even raised his voice at her. Now…… Shu Yan wasn’t all that certain.
“I have a bad idea. You want to hear it?” said Hu Ruixue with a smile after she rolled around her eyes.
“What idea?” Shu Yan couldn’t help but asked.
“Doesn’t Ye Zhiqiang want a son? Li Jiaojiao might not be able to have another child but he can. We can find him a young and pretty woman who can give him children. What do you think?” Hu Ruixue felt that it was a great idea. They could revenge Li Jiaojiao and Ye Zhiqiang would also give up on Tianbao. *
Look for another woman for Ye Zhiqiang? Shu Yan looked at Hu Ruixue with her eyes widened. This idea was really so…… Suddenly, her eyes lit up. This world had already deviated a lot from the original novel ever since her arrival.
Without their financial foundation, would Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao’s relationship still be as steady as described in the novel? Shu Yan had a lot of doubts about that. Perhaps they didn’t even need to find him a woman; perhaps Ye Zhiqiang was already seeing someone.
She gave Shu Jianyang a call immediately and had him help find out Ye Zhiqiang’s whereabout.
“No need to look. He’s in Province Xin and still in constructions. He’s doing well for himself.” Shu Jianyang’s reply came instantly.
The economy at Province Xin was much worse than that inland. Anyone who had over 10,000 yuan there was considered a magnate. Ye Zhiqiang, who went there with a team of men, couldn’t have done too poorly.
“Okay, I get it. Thanks, Third Brother. I’ll let you go now. We will talk later.”
“Wait.” Shu Jianyang asked, “You got ideas?”
“I have an idea that is not really an idea. I’ll tell you about it later.”
Feng Zeyu happened to have a former comrade in arms over in Province Xin so he gave him a call to help look into the matters. There weren’t a lot of foreigners at Province Xin at the time and even less bosses like Ye Zhiqiang. It didn’t take long for them to get the answer that they were looking for.
Ye Zhiqiang was, after all, good at what he did. He had accepted all sorts of work when he first got there and, once he had built up some reputation, he spent all the money that he had made on building his network and received one big job after another. He earned some hundreds of thousands of yuan in very little time and finally recuperated some. He then opened up a construction company with a resourceful local and was now doing well for himself.
The most important piece of information came in and Ye Zhiqiang, sure enough, already have a lover there. She was introduced to him by his partner.
“This woman is his partner’s cousin?” asked Shu Yan in disbelief.
“Yes, but not a close one. A cousin nonetheless though.” Feng Zeyu showed Shu Yan the pictures from his comrade in arms.
She was fair skinned and her features were very delicate. Her eyes limpid. She looked different than mainland Chinese and had a kind of exotic tribal beauty.
“Does Li Jiaojiao know about this woman?”
“We are not certain about that but, personally, I would guess yes.” Which would explain the rush in obtaining Tianbao.
