I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a 1000 Years - Chapter 72

Chapter 72

2: Wu Chen, as terrifying as an abyss!

Zhan Xiumei held the phone and turned her head sharply. She saw Li Ruobing’s back, but she didn’t recognize her until she walked a few steps and saw the ringing phone on the table before she recognized Li Ruobing.

She was too angry before, so she wouldn’t pay attention to others.

“Miss Li, why are you here?” Zhan Xiumei was surprised to see Li Ruobing, and smiled, and glanced at Wu Chen.

The ringing mobile phone was placed in front of Wu Chen.

Zhan Xiumei’s face was gloomy just now, she was so angry that she was out of breath, but at the moment she was talking to Li Ruobing, she showed a very natural and familiar smile, just like the moment when she suddenly met an acquaintance while walking on the street. A surprised smile.

It was as if the incident of her violently beating a scumbag husband just now had never happened.

This fat middle-aged businesswoman’s mentality could be said to be explosive!

“Ms. Zhan, long time no see.” Li Ruobing also stood up naturally, and shook hands with Zhan Xiumei with a smile on her face.

Wu Chen picked up the phone that was ringing on the table and hung up directly.

He stood up as well.

“This is Ms. Li’s boyfriend, Mr. Wu, right?” Zhan Xiumei glanced at Wu Chen immediately, and asked Li Ruobing with a smile. She knew that Li Ruobing had a boyfriend and that her surname was Wu, and since she “conflicted” with Lu Guangnian, word spread.

Li Ruobing nodded.

“Hi, Ms. Zhan, nice to meet you.” Wu Chen smiled and shook hands with Zhan Xiumei.

“Mr. Wu is really a good-looking talent. Ms. Li has good eyesight and good luck.” Zhan Xiumei directly praised Wu Chen, and even smiled at Li Ruobing.

She had a unique position in the East China Sea, almost no one in the East China Sea business community dared not to give her face, and almost all the big businessmen were her friends,. But no matter whether it was her, Lu Guangnian, or Mu Sihai, they all had to be cautious around Li Ruobing.

Li Ruobing once visited Zhan Jianyi with a gift, and she was very polite.

But that was to Mr. Zhan Jianyi, not to her, Zhan Xiumei.

Zhan Xiumei was not the one who inherited Zhan Jianyi’s property, nor was she ranked first among the Zhan family’s children.

So even if she, Zhan Xiumei, faced Li Ruobing, the granddaughter of Li’s parents and Li Ruotai’s sister, she still had to think about building a good relationship and not easily offending her.

Zhan Xiumei was somewhat similar to Lu Guangnian in terms of social skills.

“Are Miss Li and Mr. Wu here on a date?” After a few words of politeness, Zhan Xiumei changed the topic back, “Was that… a text message from Mr. Wu?”

She didn’t think about why Wu Chen knew her phone number. Since Li Ruobing knew about it, it’s not surprising that Wu Chen knew about it.

It’s just… She hadn’t taken her husband out to meet people all these years, and she couldn’t afford to lose him.

She knew that Li Ruobing probably didn’t know her husband.

This was a bit strange.

What’s more… Zhan Xiumei felt a little uncomfortable. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. Now Li Ruobing took the initiative to stir it up. Although it was a good intention to inform her, this matter would be spread more widely because of Li Ruobing’s involvement. It would become gossip.

“I sent it.” Wu Chen nodded.

“I’m really sorry to let you watch a joke.” Zhan Xiumei said, smiling a little unnaturally.

It’s not just for Li Ruobing and Wu Chen to watch jokes, it won’t be long before all the rich and powerful people in Donghai would know about it.

It was estimated that some people would talk behind their backs, saying that she couldn’t even look down on a man who married into her family.

“It’s your husband. It’s your family’s private matter after all, and I didn’t even think about sending you that text message at first.” Wu Chen said again, and twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile, “But… your husband’s words are too ugly. He scolded us for a trivial matter…”

Zhan Xiumei’s expression changed, and she immediately asked, “Did you… argue?”

“Not really, it’s just because of a little thing, he brought that girl over, talked loudly all, even said that he would get a divorce if the property was divided. He even promised marrying that girl…

“I know, Ms. Zhan and Ruobing, you two have a good personal relationship, and the Li family and the Zhan family have also had friendship for a long time.” Wu Chen’s words were flattering the Zhan family, of course this was not the point.

“Ruobing knew it was your husband, and didn’t want to get involved in Ms. Zhan’s family affairs. If you made a scene in public, it would not be very kind to Ms. Zhan. But what the two of them said at that time was really harsh. Well… Ruobing turned around and asked them to keep their voices down and not disturb other guests’ meals.

“They saw the others were angry, so they didn’t say anything and apologized.

“It was okay when they came here, but they continued to mutter about me and Ruobing, saying that we sold houses and slept with clients, counselors, etc. Ruobing almost went to beat them… I persuaded.

“After all, he’s your husband. If Ruobing hits him, wouldn’t you have a bad relationship? We are good friends, and we have a good relationship. If we break up because of this matter, it won’t be worth it… So, I sent a text message to Ms. Zhan.”

When Wu Chen finished speaking in a calm voice, the expressions of Zhan Xiumei and Li Ruobing changed at the same time.

When Zhan Xiumei looked at Wu Chen’s eyes, she instantly became a hundred times kinder!

Outsiders might not understand what was special about Wu Chen’s words, but as the offending “party”, Zhan Xiumei immediately understood how much trouble Wu Chen’s text message blocked her!

Zhan Xiumei knew who Li Ruobing was!

A person of her status was told selling houses and sleeping with clients… Her anger was normal, and if she was really angry and couldn’t control it, then her husband would maimed by Li Ruobing’s bodyguards in broad daylight!

Behind Li Ruobing was a younger brother who was extremely protective of her. After six years in the East China Sea, he turned the tide and became Li Ruotai, the “Mr. Li of the East China Sea”!

That’s the eldest grandson of the Li family! He was even more difficult to mess with!

So when the time came, the husband would be beaten and disabled…

What should she, Zhan Xiumei, do?

Although Wang Weijun was a door-to-door son-in-law with no status, as the saying went, it depended on the owner to beat a dog!

Li Ruobing beat her husband to death, would she care or not?

Would she counterattack? Or apologize?

For apology? Is she going to lose face? Does the Zhan family want to lose face? If she doesn’t care and even apologized, it was likely to be the beginning of her Zhan family’s status in the East China Sea plummeting!

So what? counterattack? Question? Start a war with Li Ruobing?

She was from Li family! It’s really, really not easy to mess with!

So once that step was reached, Zhan Xiumei would be in big trouble!

No matter what she would do, it’s wrong. It was neither cowardly nor rigid.

Although what Wu Chen said just now was casual, and he simply said something about the situation, saying that he didn’t want the two of them to have a bad relationship, but Zhan Xiumei understood very well how much trouble Wu Chen saved her!

With a text message, this big crisis was resolved!

“That’s it, Mr. Wu was thoughtful enough to save us trouble, and I’m sorry for wronging Ms. Li…” Zhan Xiumei thought about apologizing quickly and even pulled Wu Chen’s hand to speak. He then looked at Li Ruobing to apologize and then said, “Wait a moment.”

As she spoke, she hurried towards the car on the side of the road.

His husband, Wang Weijun, was taken back to the car, and she was now taking him out again.

Just as Zhan Xiumei walked away, Li Ruobing looked at Wu Chen with cold eyes, and her expression was a little strange.

She knew that Wu Chen had lied just now, and he didn’t tell herself in advance that he was Zhan Xiumei’s husband.

She also knew that with Zhan Xiumei’s personality, she might not thank herself for this incident, and she might even feel uncomfortable. Helping her to catch a traitor expanded her influence and even saved trouble.

But Wu Chen solved it for her with the simplest words, and even changed the starting point of the conflict from the other party speaking loudly to Li Ruobing knowing their identities and feeling that they said bad things about Zhan Xiumei, which was very harsh…

Now Zhan Xiumei would not only feel comfortable with her, she would even treat her better.

And Zhan Xiumei was probably already grateful to Wu Chen!

She owed Wu Chen a big favor!

How did it turn out like this?

He obviously didn’t seem to do anything special, but he did it!

He used everyone present, including her, Li Ruobing!

Li Ruobing felt Wu Chen’s terrifying ability!

That was a kind of communicative ability that made people feel terrified, as if they were looking at the abyss.
