The man’s gentle voice sounded, and just by hearing it, one could tell he was a very kind man.
The woman’s sobbing voice: "I was wrong, I really was wrong, Bin, please forgive me this once, I know I was wrong..."
"Peiwen, I can forgive you, but I cannot continue our marriage. It makes me suffer every single moment."
His words were so resolute, yet his voice was gentle and calm, truly like a gentle blade.
Footsteps approached from the front, revealing anxiety and disorder.
Soon, the owner of the footsteps appeared, a tall and handsome man who had quite a masculine appeal.
He paused for a moment upon seeing Gu Jin and An Mingji, then his face filled with urgency.
The tall man ran toward the stairs, shouting as he ran, "Bin! That Qiu guy is here again, no matter what, he wants to withdraw his investment. All my persuasion couldn’t keep him!"
He already knew there were people there and headed straight over.
The faces of the man and woman in the previous conversation were also revealed.
When Gu Jin saw the man coming down the stairs, a slight surprise appeared in his eyes, along with a bit of understanding.
Though the man looked "young," one could still discern the future contour of Shi Yuanbin, chairman of Shenfeng Technology.
Beside him stood a woman in a white dress with the most trendy big curls, quite pretty and elegantly dressed, but from the previous conversation, it was clear this woman was not easy-going.
When Shi Yuanbin saw his friend and classmate Sun Qirong running over with a face full of urgency, he listened to his words and frowned slightly.
The one surnamed Qiu was an investor in their company, and he had recently been demanding to withdraw his capital frequently. They couldn’t stop him if he wanted to withdraw his investment; this wasn’t the first time.
Determined to withdraw, a trace of annoyance rose in Shi Yuanbin’s heart, knowing that they couldn’t persuade him to stay no matter what they said. They had already offered the biggest concessions, but alas, it couldn’t move him.
He spoke decisively, "Then let him withdraw and return the funds on the company’s books to him as per the contract."
Sun Qirong frowned tightly, "If so, our recent project research will be delayed. Right now is a critical time for the company, and other shareholders are watching closely."
"Then what can I do?!" Shi Yuanbin uncharacteristically lost his temper, his fair face tinged with red anger.
Most of this anger came from his wife, Yang Peiwen, standing behind him.
A week ago, she joyfully told him she was pregnant, and he was going to be a father.
At that moment, he felt struck by thunder, feeling as if he didn’t recognize this lover who had been with him from middle school to high school and quickly married him after returning from studying abroad.
She had actually betrayed him!
If not for his time abroad, or for an accidental check-up at the hospital, he would not have known he was infertile.
Since he was infertile, whose child was his wife carrying? It was undoubtedly a blatant betrayal.
Due to his wife’s deceit, he chose to divorce.
Now Yang Peiwen was entangling endlessly, saying she would abort the child to gain his forgiveness.
Shi Yuanbin couldn’t accept this; despite being abroad for years, he couldn’t forgive his wife who had long betrayed him.
It was rare to see Shi Yuanbin angry, and both Sun Qirong and Yang Peiwen were stunned.
The former was concerned and worried for his friend, while the latter’s eyes were filled with tears, her gaze showing fear and unease.
Sun Qirong pursed his lips, "I will do as you say."
