Then she joined him at the table, donning disposable gloves, and began peeling crayfish.
After taking a bite, she closed her eyes in pleasure and said, “It’s so delicious! If it weren’t for the big fuss I caused, my manager wouldn’t have had any time for me lately, and I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy crayfish. I’ve been craving it!”
Wei Zi Yue couldn’t help but look at Chi Zaozao and asked, “Are you talking about the incident where you confronted Xu Wen Jing at the Starlight Awards? But I’m curious, what did she say to you that made you so angry that you actually attacked her on the spot?”
While sipping on a bit of crayfish soup, Chi Zaozao replied, “It’s all because she insulted my best friend! You don’t know how shameless she is. She clearly was interested in my best friend’s husband, even before he became the heir to a wealthy family. But she never expected him to become the heir, so she used all sorts of schemes to manipulate my best friend, trying to get back together with that scumbag! That scumbag, by the way, is a joke. He’s so infatuated with her that he treats her like a treasure, even though he’s as unfaithful as they come. But now, the scumbag has severed ties with his father and lost his inheritance, so she’s left with nothing! It’s so satisfying!”
Thinking about how Xu Wen Jing schemed so much but ended up with nothing, wasting so much time and even losing her ability to be a mother, Chi Zaozao felt a sense of relief.
After Chi Zaozao finished her story, Wei Zi Yue suddenly paused, then raised an eyebrow and asked, “The people you’re talking about, could it be Lin Yi Chen and Xu Wen Jing?”
After all, the recent highly publicized event about a severed father-son relationship involved Lin Yi Chen and Lin Haowei.
Impressed by his deduction, Chi Zaozao gave him a thumbs up. “You’re smart! But don’t spread this story around!”
Wei Zi Yue narrowed his eyes and said, “Your best friend… is Jiang Wan Yu, isn’t it?”
Chi Zaozao exclaimed, “Yes, wait, how did you know?”
She looked at Wei Zi Yue with suspicion. “You didn’t investigate me, did you?”
Wei Zi Yue rolled his eyes and replied sarcastically, “You think I’d need to investigate? The paparazzi have already exposed every detail of your life!”
Chi Zaozao was curious and asked, “Then how do you know about Wan Yu?”
Wei Zi Yue explained casually, “She almost ran me over with her car once, took me to the hospital, and that’s how we met.”
Little did he know that this chance encounter would lead to him discovering that Jiang Wan Yu had been married to Lin Yi Chen.
It was quite a coincidence that Chi Zaozao turned out to be Jiang Wan Yu’s best friend, and the incident at the Starlight Awards involving Xu Wen Jing must have been what triggered her to confront Xu Wen Jing in person.
Upon hearing Wei Zi Yue’s explanation, Chi Zaozao was taken aback. “I see! I was wondering how you knew her!”
Then she suddenly felt regretful and exclaimed, “Right! Why didn’t I think of inviting Wan Yu to join us for crayfish? Why did I call you?”
She hastily removed her disposable gloves, picked up her phone, and called Jiang Wan Yu while giving Wei Zi Yue a stern look.
“You better eat less!”
Wei Zi Yue was left speechless.
However, Jiang Wan Yu’s phone rang for a long time without an answer.
Just when Chi Zaozao was starting to wonder, the call was finally picked up.
“Wan Yu, I bought…”
But before she could finish her sentence, an impatient male voice interrupted her, “Why are you bothering people in the middle of the night, Zaozao? If you’re feeling lonely or bored, go find a boyfriend instead of disturbing Wan Yu’s sleep. She just went to bed, so I’m hanging up.”
And then, he hung up the phone.
Chi Zaozao was left dumbfounded.
After a moment, she exclaimed, “Holy crap!” and stared wide-eyed at Wei Zi Yue in disbelief. “I think the person who answered the phone was Lin Yi Chen!”
“Why would he have Wan Yu’s phone? Weren’t they supposed to have nothing to do with each other anymore?” Chi Zaozao wore a skeptical expression.
After a moment, her face darkened as she realized, “No, they must be hiding something from me! They’ve definitely reconciled! Otherwise, why would Wan Yu let him answer her phone?”
At this point, Chi Zaozao couldn’t help but show a frustrated expression.
“Oh no! Wan Yu is falling into Lin Yi Chen’s trap again! Why can’t she learn from her mistakes?” Chi Zaozao lamented.
“And that scumbag Lin Yi Chen actually said she was feeling lonely and bored! She’s perfectly fine now!” Chi Zaozao continued, clearly annoyed.
Watching Chi Zaozao’s exasperated expression, Wei Zi Yue, while peeling crayfish, commented, “As you said, being with Xu Wen Jing made Lin Yi Chen’s head a ‘green, green meadow,’ but now, it seems like he’s cleared his conscience. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Upon hearing this, Chi Zaozao was taken aback and then looked at Wei Zi Yue, asking, “What do you mean?”
“It’s quite obvious,” Wei Zi Yue replied, casting an almost condescending glance at Chi Zaozao. “Lin Yi Chen intentionally divorced Jiang Wan Yu and then got engaged to Xu Wen Jing. Do you really think he’s so foolish that he wouldn’t realize he’s been cuckolded?”
Wei Zi Yue knew that Lin Yi Chen was a hacking genius even more formidable than himself.
There was no way he could be unaware of Xu Wen Jing’s true nature. So, if he was aware and still chose to get engaged to her, it must be for a specific purpose.
Furthermore, based on Chi Zaozao’s description, it seemed like Xu Wen Jing was only after the Lin family’s wealth.
This made it highly likely that she would regret the engagement after Lin Yi Chen severed ties with the Lin family, which was something that appeared inevitable.
However, what Chi Zaozao didn’t know was that Lin Yi Chen’s true value lay not in the Lin Group but in Dayu Technology.
Over the past few years, Dayu Technology has experienced explosive growth, especially in the online gaming sector with monthly revenues exceeding billions.
In just one year, the net profit from online gaming alone amounted to tens of billions.
Compared to the long-established Lin Group, Dayu Technology was currently stronger and more profitable.
Except for Wei Zi Yue himself, hardly anyone knew that Lin Yi Chen was the true mastermind behind Dayu Technology.
Wei Zi Yue couldn’t help but think about the reactions of others once they found out about this fact.
On the other hand, Chi Zaozao felt a bit resentful at Wei Zi Yue’s words.
“What do you mean? How do you know that Lin Yi Chen intentionally divorced Wan Yu?”
She felt like Wei Zi Yue had been looking down on her.
Watching Chi Zaozao’s irritated expression, Wei Zi Yue couldn’t help but have a mischievous thought, especially considering Chi Zaozao had previously called him her “hacker little brother.” He said in a leisurely tone, “Because you know, I’m a man too.”
“Huh, what kind of man are you? Probably haven’t even hit puberty yet,” Chi Zaozao replied with a disdainful tone.
She sat back down and opened a can of beer, feeling quite frustrated, and took several big sips.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zi Yue looked displeased and retorted, “Who said I haven’t hit puberty? I’m almost twenty-five!”
“Only twenty-five? I’m about to hit thirty!” Chi Zaozao declared after taking a few more gulps of beer.
She then displayed a satisfied expression and remarked, “This is how real people live! Enjoying life to the fullest!”
She looked at him provocatively and added, “I bet you’ve never had a drink in your life, have you?”
Wei Zi Yue was indeed not accustomed to alcohol. He had always believed that alcohol could affect the precision of his brain, and as a top-notch hacker, he couldn’t afford any mistakes due to alcohol.
However, spurred on by Chi Zaozao’s words, he decided to give it a try. He opened a can of beer and said, “Who says I’ve never had a drink?”
Then, he gulped down the entire can and proudly declared to Chi Zaozao, “See! I finished it!”
