Chapter 1260 - 1257: The Truth Comes to Light (Part 1)

It was at this moment that Zhang Chuchu walked in.

"Dad... Dad..."

Old Zhang responded pleasantly, "Come, we’re about to eat."

She casually picked up the wedding invitation on the table and glanced at it curiously, "What’s this?"

Before she finished speaking, her expression changed, and she fumed, "What’s the meaning of this? Wan Donglin is getting married? Mom, are you really going to attend?"

Madam Zhang laughed, "Silly child, for this sort of thing, we must go."

She snorted, throwing the invitation onto the coffee table.

"I heard through the grapevine that to propose to that woman, he split half of his assets with her. Mom, is that true?"

The couple exchanged a glance.

Industry gossip usually has some truth to it.

Wan Donglin’s grand gesture clearly indicated his absolute commitment to this marriage. It’s evident that he wouldn’t marry anyone else and was willing to spare no expense.

"Hmph, what’s so good about that woman anyway? Is she worth it for him? Isn’t it just because she’s pretty? So, Brother Donglin’s also a superficial man, only valuing a woman’s looks. That woman may be good-looking, and he gives her everything. But won’t that woman age? Can she stay beautiful forever? Hmph, I really want to see what kind of fairy she is..."

The couple knew well that this was childish jealousy, so they said nothing.

Zhang Chuchu angrily picked up her rice bowl, "Besides, aren’t they just having a shotgun wedding? It’s really nothing special. Apparently, Yan Xixi isn’t a very proper woman either..."

Madam Zhang passed some food to her, smiling, "Why are you worrying about others so much? Little one, don’t say too much..."

But Zhang Chuchu turned to her father, "Dad, hasn’t Brother Donglin been coming to work lately?"

Old Zhang responded blandly, "He’s at home with his wife. It’s like a vacation."

"Will he be this lazy from now on? Just taking it as it comes? Oh my, does he even care about work anymore?"

"Maybe not. Now, to him, work probably doesn’t mean much. He’s likely just waiting for the child to be born safely..."

Madam Zhang was secretly astonished upon hearing this. She thought, has Wan Donglin really lost his passion for career and future, or has he completely decided to let it go?

Zhang Chuchu angrily remarked, "Since he doesn’t care about work, Dad, why do you still hold him in high regard? Is there really no talent other than him in the world? Why not just let him quit if that’s what he wants? Anyway, he doesn’t care... If he wants a beauty instead of an empire, then just take away the empire from him..."

"Silly child. Adults have their own world. There are some things you can’t understand."

"What’s there that I don’t understand? All I know is that Wan Donglin is slacking off. Since he doesn’t want to work, there’s no need for him to continue."

Old Zhang remained expressionless.

Only Madam Zhang glanced at him and thought, if that’s truly the case, perhaps Wan Donglin would be more than happy to comply.

Early in the morning, Yan Xixi got up to inject progesterone.

After injecting for more than half a month, her spirit had deteriorated to an alarming level, and she had practically no appetite.

She strolled a bit on the terrace and took out her phone to check the news. As soon as she sat down, she suddenly felt something was off and immediately went to the bathroom. What she saw there scared her so much that she screamed.

She immediately called Wan Donglin, her voice trembling slightly, "You brute... I... I need you to come back quickly..."
