《Can't Get Away With You》


 Chapter 1 A Sudden Surprise

    Chapter 1 A Sudden Surprise


    The grand hall was filled soft chatter andughter.


    Today was a special night for Joey Gu, CEO of the Gu Consortium. It was his fifth wedding anniversary


    with Lois Shen.


    It went without saying that Lois Shen was beautiful, and she looked exceptionally stunning in the long


    evening gown she wore for tonight.


    As she went downstairs slowly, her right hand was slightly lifting up the hem of her dress so that she


    wouldn''t trip over. All of the guests stared at her in awe, admiring her beauty and elegance.


    In the crowd, Joey Gu had a bitter smile on his face. He gave his ss of wine to a waiter nearby and


    approached his wife.


    Lois Shen was a little surprised when she saw Joey Gu extend his hand out to her.


    "Thank you," she said as she took his warm hand in hers.


    ''Well,'' Joey Gu thought in shock, ''When did she learn to be this polite? Normally she would just shy


    away from me.''


    They went through the crowd, Lois Shen walking closely beside Joey Gu. It was customary for him to


    greet his business partners with her by his side.


    The program began shortly after. The host went up on the stage to wee the guests. Lois Shen took


    a ss of champagne from one of the waiters going around serving drinks. "Thank you," she said softly


    with a smile.


    The young and shy waiter blushed and left, making herugh silently.


    "Let''s wee our star of the night! The lovely wife of the CEO of the Gu Consortium -- Mrs. Gu!" The


    host smiled and apuded along with the audience.


    There was a slight flush on Lois Shen''s face.


    It was probably because of the champagne she had drunk. Over the past five years, she had not really


    drunk much alcohol. And so, a single ss was more than enough to make her face hot.


    With a faint smile, Lois Shen went up on stage.


    Wherever she was, there was always a bright smile on her face. It was so weing and warm, much


    like the sun in early spring.


    The crowd sighed at the sight of her. They were either thinking how beautiful she was or how she and


    Joey Gu were just so perfect for each other.


    "Wee to tonight''s celebration," Lois Shen said. "Thank you all that you were able to celebrate our


    wedding anniversary with us. So for those who don''t know yet, my full name is Lois Shen."


    She took a big deep breath in, smiling a bit wider. "The reason why I wanted to introduce myself like


    this is because Mr. Gu and I are going to get divorced."


    The crowd was silent for a moment,pletely stunned by the sudden news. Even Joey Gu looked at


    Lois Shen in disbelief. ''What is she talking about? When did shee up with this idea?'' Joey Gu


    sneered to himself.


    After a few seconds, everyone came back to their senses, murmuring to each other and casting quick


    nces at Joey Gu. Some people knew that their marriage was only a shotgun wedding because Lois


    Shen got pregnant. "Do you think they''re getting divorced because it didn''t work out?" one guest


    whispered.


    "I don''t know. Maybe they weren''t aspatible as they appeared to be," another said.


    Even if their rtionship wasn''t working out, it didn''t make sense to a lot of people that Joey Gu wasn''t


    the one to break the news. After all, he was the one who was more well-known and important. It just


    didn''t make sense the Lois Shen would be the one to do it, especially since she had remained in the


    sidelines for so long.


    Everyone''s imaginations ran wildly as they started to gossip among themselves, and Joey Gu could do


    nothing but keep silent. Suppressing his anger, he looked up coldly at Lois Shen. There was still a


    smile on her face, and her eyes were calm and determined.


    ''You will pay for this!'' he thought.


    Forcing a smile, he went over to the general manager of the AH Group. "Mr. Zack! I think we should


    step up our cooperation a bit longer, don''t you think so?" he said as warmly as he could.


    Zack Zhao was stunned, but he didn''t show it on his face. "There are too many things to do recently. It''s


    not the right time for mypany to get involved," he stammered.


    The business world was full of ups and downs. A divorce easily brought upon bad press, especially


    when it wasn''t handled that well. The best thing to do in times like this was to take it lightly and pretend


    that nothing was wrong.


    "Anyway, I hope everyone can still enjoy the rest of the night," Lois Shen continued. "I''ve drunk more


    than I can handle, so I''ll be taking my leave now."


    Still smiling, she stepped down the stage, leaving a lot of the guests still wondering the truth behind the


    new she had just shared.


    Walking out of the hall, Lois Shen took out her car keys from her bag. Just when she was about to


    reach her car, someone suddenly grabbed her from behind. She was about to scream for help until the


    person''s hand went up to cover her mouth. "Shut up! Do you want to cause more embarrassment for


    yourself?"


    Hearing the familiar voice, Lois Shen felt relieved. Although she didn''t feel ashamed for what she did,


    she was worrying that the Gu Consortium might get affected.


    After letting her go, Joey Gu took her arm and pulled her towards his car.


    "Get in," he sneered at her. Lois Shen hesitated for a second, but then thought that he wouldn''t do


    anything to her since she had just announced their separation. It would be too obvious, and if she went


    missing, he''d be a primary suspect.

    However, when he had drove out of the city center, she started to panic. "Joey, where on earth are we


    going? Aren''t we going back to the vi?"


    "Shut up!" Joey Gu scolded. There was so much anger boiling up inside him.


    "Just calm down! Can''t we talk for a minute?" she retorted.


    In a second, Joey stepped on the brakes, making her lunge forward. It was a good thing she was


    wearing her seat belt. Otherwise, she would gone straight through the windshield. Taking a deep breath


    topose herself, Lois looked out the window. It was dark outside, and she couldn''t help but feel a bit


    scared.


    "Do you know how much the Gu Consortium will lose because of your reckless actions?" Joey asked,


    his voice trembling with anger.


    Although Lois was surprised, she felt a bit relieved.


    ''At least he doesn''t look like he''s going to hurt me,'' she thought.


    For five whole years, Lois had taken care of Joey, and had stayed by his side. However, now that she


    was asking for a divorce, he cared about nothing else but hispany. How sad.


    "I''m not being reckless, Joey." Then, she took out some documents from her bag and handed them


    over to him. "I was serious when I said that we''re getting a divorce."


    It was divorce papers. He tried his best to look calm as he took the papers and skimmed through it.


    As written on the terms, Lois had emphasized that she didn''t want any money or asset from Joey. The


    only thing she wanted to take with her was their daughter.

    Chapter 2 You Will Have Nothing If You Leave Gu Family


    "This...this is some kind of joke, right?" heughed sarcastically. But when he saw her expressionless


    face, his lips curled up to a sneer. "Are you serious?


    Maggie is still so little! How could you bear to let her grow up without her father?! You are a ruthless


    woman!" There was a sh of fury in Joey''s eyes as he red at Lois.


    Lois just lowered her head and smiled pitifully.


    "What difference does it make?" she said softly. "We''ve been together for five years and yet it felt as if


    Maggie didn''t have a father." There was no way she was about to leave their daughter to him. Joey was


    not capable of taking care of such a small child.


    With a scoff, Joey tore up the divorce papers into pieces. "You did everything you could to get in bed


    with me just so that you could marry into the Gu family. Now, you dare to threaten me like this?"


    Lois''s face turned pale. Everyone knew who had taken advantage of this marriage. After so many


    years, she no longer wanted to argue with him.


    "Lois Shen! I don''t know what tricks you are ying. But just to remind you, you are married to the


    CEO of one of the most powerfulpanies in the country!" Joey fumed. "Look, if you want to run your


    ownpany or get an affair, so be it. But Maggie stays where I can keep an eye on her."


    Lois gritted her teeth as her hands tightly clenched into fists at her side. At this moment, she no longer


    wanted to be anywhere near him. Without a second thought, she reached for the car door.


    However, Joey was much quicker than she was, and locked the door before she could open it.


    Afterwards, Joey pulled her arm towards him, making her fall onto hisp. She blushed with


    embarrassment, and tried to sit up straight. Just then, Joey leaned in and kissed her on her lips.


    With all her might, Lois tried to push him away, ever going as far as hitting his shoulder. Unfortunately,


    he was much stronger than she was.


    "You... HMM... Let go of me!"


    Joey furrowed his thick eyebrows. ''This woman! How dare she!'' Eventually he let her go, making her


    slump back onto her seat.


    Lois straightened out her dress andposed herself, looking at the angry look on Joey''s face. There


    was nothing else she wanted to say -- she had already proposed the divorce, and they were going to


    get separated sooner orter.


    However, her silence made him annoyed even more. "Stay at home and take care of Maggie. That''s


    the end of this discussion," he snapped at her.


    Hearing this, Lois shook her head in disbelief. "Fine. Then you can talk to mywyer," she replied in a


    sarcastic tone.


    "Who do you think you''re dealing with?" Joey said with a slightugh. "What do you think you''ll be able


    to get out of this? Believe it or not, I have the money and power to ban youpletely from A City!"


    "I don''t want anything," she uttered softly, looking out the window. "I just want Maggie..."


    Reaching out, Joey grabbed her chin and made her look at him. There was a coldness in his eyes that


    pierced right through her soul. "What can you possibly give her that I can''t? You will have nothing if you


    leave the Gu Family."


    At that moment, Lois''s phone rang, breaking the tense atmosphere.


    Looking at the screen, Lois''s heart fluttered in panic. It was a message from the nanny. Apparently,


    Maggie Gu had been crying nonstop and calling out for her mommy.


    Lois quickly replied, saying that she was on her way.


    "What''s wrong?" Joey asked, reading the worry on her face.


    "Maggie is looking for me. We need to --"


    Her sentence was cut short as she thought whether or not it was still appropriate to use the word ''we''.


    "Just drive back home," she continued in a low voice.

    Without saying anything, Joey started the car and drove.


    As soon as the car stopped at the vi, Lois bolted out and quickly went upstairs.


    Joey handed the car key to a servant and strode into the vi as well.


    The little girl was crying her eyes out. Her aggrieved look was truly pitiful.


    Joey wanted to go upstairs to see Maggie, but he suddenly remembered the cooperation case between


    hispany and the AH Group. With this in mind, he hesitated and went directly to his study instead.


    It was already ten o''clock after he finished his work. He rubbed the corners of his eyes and leaned back


    on his chair.


    Afterwards, he started to unbutton his suit and slung it over his arm as he walked to the bedroom. Back


    then, Lois would make him a midnight snack to help him get through the night. But nowadays, she


    didn''t prepare anything for him, even a cup of coffee.


    When he opened the door, he saw Lois sleeping soundly with Maggie in her arms. The two were


    huddled together in a warm embrace, making him feel more like an outsider.


    Swallowing down the hurt he was feeling, he slowly closed the door and made his way to the guest


    room.

 Chapter 3 Where Have You Been

    Chapter 3 Where Have You Been


    On the next day, Joey had a quick breakfast and went straight to thepany. Because of the party


    last night, he had to postpone two meetings, those of which were scheduled today.


    Looking at the phone in his hand, Joey frowned in annoyance. "Deal with this," he said to his secretary


    as he handed his phone to her. It was a message from Lois''swyer. Apparently, thewyer wanted to


    talk to him about the divorce. But right now, Joey had more important matters to attend to.


    Having been busy for a whole day, Joey had a bad temper. Therefore, he cancelled his date with Sally


    Lu and drove home tiredly.


    Meanwhile, Lois casually looked around the apartment with a sigh. Although it was a bit small, it had a


    certain charm about it. There was a bedroom, a living room, kitchen, and even a balcony. Still, there


    wasn''t enough room for her and a small five-year-old girl.


    She had only paid for a two-month stay here. By then, she assumed that she and Joey had finally


    come into terms with the divorce.


    ''I really need to look for a new ce,'' she thought. There was no way she was going to let Maggie stay


    in such a shabby ce.


    As she sat at the table, Lois started toe up with what her n would be after she and Joey finally


    get the divorce.


    All of a sudden, her phone rang in her pocket.


    "Hello," she greeted.


    Joey''s frustrated voice came through. "Where have you been?"


    Although Lois couldn''t see his expression, she knew that he had his face twisted into a mask of anger.


    Even before, he had always been unfriendly towards her.


    "It''ste. Where have you ran off to?" he hissed.


    Blinking her eyes, Lois forced back her tears. "Has thewyer contacted you? Since I''ve already asked


    for a divorce, there''s no need to live together."


    There was no reply, and she could only hear Joey''s husky breathing. "I''ve found some ce else to


    stay until this whole thing is over," she continued. "When it''s done, I''ll go pick up Maggie and that''s


    that."


    "That''s not for you to decide! You''d bettere back right now!"


    "Joey, please calm down."


    But Joey was burning with so much anger. It turned out that she had already arranged everything.


    Yesterday, she announced the divorce at a party. Now she had packed her luggage and ran away from


    home. She also found awyer to negotiate with him about the divorce! How dare she!


    And she also wanted to take the child away? ''After spending my money and wasting my time, she


    wants to leave and take my daughter away?! And then what? She''ll find some unknown man to act as


    Maggie''s father?! Does she really think that she''ll get some kind of happiness ever after?''


    At that moment, Joey thought about the midnight snacks Lois used to make for him, the nice, warm


    breakfasts and even the simple treats she prepared when he was working overtime. Reminiscing


    these, he gritted his teeth and decided that there was no chance he was going to agree to this divorce.


    ''Why should I let another man benefit from my wife?''


    "It''s not up to you to decide the divorce," Joey snarled. "Don''t think that you can do whatever you want.


    More importantly, don''t ever think that I''ll just let you have Maggie. You chose this life. You married into


    the Gu family. Whether you''re dead or alive, there''s no going back from that! Don''t even think about it."


    Lois looked down at the wedding ring on the coffee table. ''This is just ridiculous,'' she thought bitterly.


    Swallowing the bitterness in her heart, she tried to stay as calm as possible. "What about Sally Lu?


    Huh?" she finally said.


    Joey was shocked and angry. Just when he was about to bark back at her, Lois had already hung up


    the phone.


    Looking down on his phone, Joey got even more infuriated.


    With a sigh, Lois looked at the wedding ring in front of her. Joey used to wear the ring all the time, until


    that woman had thrown it in the trash.


    She could still remember it as if it was yesterday -- standing at the street corner, she saw Sally Lu get


    in Joey''s car. Although it was a warm April morning, a chill had ran up her body at the sight of the two.


    She wasn''t able to move until the car drove away from her sight. There were no tears in her eyes. The


    last thing she wanted was to be desperate and afraid.


    As she stumbled along the street, something shiny caught her eye.


    It was Joey''s wedding ring, tossed beside a rubbish bin. Holding back her tears, she gritted her teeth


    and swallowed the bitterness.


    She would never forget the feeling of being trampled on for nothing, as if all her efforts and love over


    the years were in vain. It was much worse than dying a miserable death.


    She was determined to take off her wedding ring as well. Before that happened, Lois had a sense of


    pride in her, and thought that Sally Lu was as irrelevant as an ant. But given the current situation, it was


    so humiliating for her.


    In truth, Lois could bear it that he didn''t love her. Actually, she still really loved him. What she couldn''t


    bear was the thought of the possibility that Maggie might get hurt. She would rather divorce him than


    risk that.


    There was no regret in her heart since she was the one who asked for this. For her, there was nothing


    more important that her daughter. Lois couldn''t help but think she owed Maggie a life where there


    weren''t any hardships or heartbreak.


    Thinking of the soft little girl, Lois felt a bit sorry. Usually, Joey was busy with work and other social


    activities, so the child was not close to him. She didn''t know if Maggie was sad if she was not around


    her right now.


    Thinking of her daughter''s lovely appearance and soft voice, Lois''s heart ached as her eyes started to


    water.


    She only hoped that Joey could cooperate with thewyer she got and end the rtionship between


    the two as soon as possible. The sooner everything got settled, the sooner she could reunite with


    Maggie.


    At the same time, in the vi of the Gu family, Joey''s face was ghastly pale.


    Maggie held the stuffed toy in her arms and looked at him timidly. She wanted to go upstairs, but she


    was afraid of angering her father. However, staying down here with him made her afraid as well. If she


    made him unhappy, she worried that he would surely beat her.


    Maggie stood at the corner of the sofa, her eyes wide with fear, as if she was face to face with a big


    bad wolf.


    As Joey looked at her, he remembered how Lois had said that he couldn''t take care of their daughter. It


    was true that the child was not close with him. It went without saying that Maggie was unwilling to live


    with just Joey.


    "Why are you hiding there! Do you think that I''m going to hurt you?"


    It never urred to Joey he should talk to children in a soft voice. Hearing his booming voice, Maggie


    was even more scared to approach him.


    Looking at the little girl''s trembling face, Joey got even more infuriated. On one hand, his wife wanted


    to divorce him and take their child away with her. On the other hand, his daughter couldn''t even bear to


    be around him! He was restless but had no way to vent his anger.


    "Is this what your mother taught you? You can''t even call me daddy! No one at your school would want


    to y with someone like you!"


    ...

    Looking at the fierce expression on Joey''s face, Maggie was so scared that she burst into tears. The


    servants around Joey were afraid of him as well, and didn''t dare toe forward.


    "Mom...I want my mom. Mom..." The little girl held her stuffed toy tightly and sobbed.


    Joey opened his mouth and was about to scold her again. But seeing the little girl cry even harder, he


    sighed and strode forward to pick her up.


    "I want my mommy..."

 Chapter 4 Where Did You Go With My Daughter

    Chapter 4 Where Did You Go With My Daughter


    Joey looked at the little girl whose face was red because of crying. He rubbed her forehead lovingly.


    Perhaps it was because Maggie''s skin was too tender that she cried so hard that her whole face turned


    red. At a loss, Joey tried to coaxed the child, picked up grapes from the table in the hall and fed them.


    Unexpectedly, she pped his hand and said, "I want my mom..."


    Holding Maggie in her arms, Joey panicked and coaxed in a low voice, "Babe, don''t cry. Babe, don''t


    cry..."


    He could only this sentence which learned from his father.


    Thinking of the little boy of Zhao Family who liked candies the most, Joey tried to coax his little girl with


    candies as well.


    However, before the blush on her face faded away, Maggie cried again, "I don''t eat candies. I don''t


    want worms on my teeth. Dad is a bad guy!"


    Joey was stunned. Regardless of the bad guy mentioned by Maggie, he added a lot of snacks to coax


    her. During this period, the angry little princess pped him many times as he couldn''t avoid it.


    Finally, he listened to the servant''s advice and coaxed the little princess with her mother.


    He took Maggie upstairs to the Princess Room. As what Lois did usually, He prepared a bath water for


    Maggie. Maggie yed with bubbles with a depressed face.


    Joey wanted to interact with her, but was refused by Maggie. She curled her lips and said, "I don''t want


    dad!"


    Joey wanted to tell her themon sense of safety, but was interrupted by the little princess who was


    crying and calling her mother.


    Looking at the size and height of the bathtub, Joey thought it was safe, so he left the bathroom and


    waited outside for the little princess''s order.


    Maggie sobbed from time to time in the bathroom. She called her mother in a pitiful voice.


    Joey took the materials from the study to make the work n for the next quarter. After an hour, he


    threw away the materials and rushed into the bathroom. Maggie had fallen asleep by the bathtub with


    tears all over her face.


    Joey picked up the little girl and went back to the bedroom.


    Looking at the little girl''s pale face in the bed, Joey felt powerless all of a sudden.


    When Lois was about to go to bed, her phone rang. She picked it up and looked at the familiar name.


    She frowned and answered it.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mom..." Maggie''s voice was weak and hoarse, different from usual.


    "Maggie! Maggie, what''s wrong with you? "


    "Mommy, where are you? Maggie miss you so much. Maggie Miss mommy so much..."


    "Maggie, don''t hang up. Wait for me. I''ll be right there." Restless, Lois put on a long windbreaker and


    went downstairs with the key.


    After talking to her daughter all the way, Lois rushed to the vi of Gu Family.


    When she arrived at the vi, Maggie''s face was red and her lips were pale, but Joey was not at home.


    When Lois asked her about her father, Maggie curled her lips in grievance and said, "Dad answered


    the phone and went out, but he hasn''te back."


    With red eyes, Lois held Maggie in his arms. That woman was so important that she could make Joey


    leave Maggie who was having a fever.


    Or maybe Joey was cruel to her and Maggie as well.


    Holding her daughter tightly, Lois burst into tears.


    Wiping away her tears, Lois put down Maggie, took out a thin quilt from the cab, wrapped Maggie,


    and went downstairs with the child in her arms.


    She turned on the navigation and drove to the nearest hospital.


    Sitting on the back seat, Maggie''s face flushed, which made people feel sorry for her.


    "Did Maggie have dinner tonight?" Lois looked at her sleepy daughter from the rearview mirror, hoping


    to attract her attention.


    The little girl nodded obediently and said, "yes. But Mommy was not here. The food is not delicious."


    Lois praised her with a smile, "Maggie, you''re such a good girl. Can I have breakfast with you tomorrow


    morning?"


    "Okay." the little girl answered in a low voice.


    The mother and daughter soon arrived at the hospital. Lois stopped the car, picked up Maggie from the


    back seat, wrapped her with the thin quilt, and hurried to the pediatric emergency room.


    The doctor on duty in the white coat took off the stethoscope from his ear and rolled over Maggie''s


    eyelids. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, he frowned but said nothing more.


    "Because of the upper respiratory infection caused by the cold, the fever is very serious, and the child


    is in a bad mood. As a parent, you should pay more attention to it."


    Lois nodded, "I see. Thank you, doctor."


    The doctor on duty took a look at Lois and turned to the nurse to tell her the treatment.


    Lois was coaxing Maggie to sleep with the physical cooling. When Maggie fell asleep, the nurse came


    over and said, e with me to the front desk window to pay the fees."


    Lois gently put down Maggie and followed the nurse out of the ward.


    After paying the bill, Lois came back and picked up Maggie. Seeing that Maggie was looking at her with


    her big eyes, Lois touched Maggie''s forehead, which was still hot.


    "Does Maggie miss Mom?"


    "Mom, I''m hungry..." Maggie looked at Lois and blinked.


    "Then Maggie will wait for Mommy. Mommy will buy milk for Maggie, okay?"


    The little girl shook her head.


    She remembered that the little girl said pitifully that Joey went out after answering the phone, thinking


    that she was afraid of loneliness. She couldn''t bear to say, "I''ll ask the nurse to apany you. I''ll be


    back soon, okay?"


    Maggie shrank back in Lois''s arms and kept silent.


    Lois remembered that when Maggie was eight months old, she also caught a cold and had a fever. The


    long and thin needle was inserted into the little girl''s forehead. At that time, Maggie could not speak


    and could only cry, but Joey never cared about her.


    She realized that it was toote for her to repent, and Maggie had endured too much grievance and


    indifference. How could a child like her stand the cold eyes and ignorance from an adult.


    "Mom..."The little girl murmured in her sleep.


    "Mom is here." Lois patted her on the back.


    Maggie looked at her in confusion, "Mom, Dad hugged me today. "


    Hearing that, Lois was stunned. She forced a smile and asked, "what did dad say to you?"


    "Dad said he would take me to see mom tomorrow."


    Lois smiled and said nothing.


    "When will dade back?" Maggie''s soft voice rang in [Lois''s ears, but she was unable to answer.


    Joey stopped the car and hurried upstairs with the medicine box in the back seat, followed by a family


    doctor.


    When Joey opened the door of the Princess Room, he didn''t see Maggie, only leaving the phone on


    the bed alone.


    He opened the bathroom door and felt dizzy when he saw the empty bathroom. He turned his head to


    look at the cab with half door open. He stepped forward to open it, but there was no sign of Maggie.


    He went downstairs in a hurry, followed by the family doctor.


    "Where is Maggie?" Joey looked at the servant on duty.


    The servant lowered her head and replied, "Mrs. Lois has taken her away. She didn''t tell me where she


    was going."


    Thinking of Lois''s firm attitude towards divorce, Joey gritted her teeth and cursed.


    In order to divorce, she even stole the child! Did she know that Maggie was having a high fever! Such


    an irresponsible woman!

 Chapter 5 There Is No Need To Torture Each Other

    Chapter 5 There Is No Need To Torture Each Other


    He strode upstairs to find his phone to call Lois, but no one answered even he tried several times.


    This bad woman! Do you think you can make mepromise because of Maggie! Joey ordered the


    servant to take the doctor to the guest room. Suppressing his anger, he went downstairs and drove


    away from the vi.


    He had a clear mind. ording to the carefulness of Lois, she would definitely find that Maggie had a


    fever and she would take the child to the hospital. He drove to the nearest hospital while calling Lois


    tirelessly.


    As soon as the car stopped at the pediatric hospital, Lois answered the phone.


    Joey asked, "where did you go with my daughter! Do you know the baby is sick? "


    "It''s none of your business where we are. I''ll ask thewyer to talk to you about the divorce tomorrow."


    Lois didn''t want to talk to him. When she was about to hang up the phone, he said, "I want to see


    Maggie. It''s a father''s right!"


    "XX hospital." Leaving the address, Lois hung up the phone.


    Joey turned around and went to that hospital. When he arrived at the ward, he happened to see a


    nurse pulling out the injector from Maggie''s body.


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    He looked at the sharp needle and found that Lois was biting her lips and her eyes were red. With a


    pale face, Maggie reached out her little hand to wipe the tears on her face. "Mom, don''t cry. Maggie


    doesn''t hurt..."


    Lois sobbed and apologized to Maggie while hugging her.


    "Dad..." Maggie called Joey in a soft voice as she saw him, but the little girl''s big eyes became dim,


    without the spirit of the past.


    When Lois raised her eyes, she saw that Joey was still angry. She sneered in her heart, ''what''s wrong?


    Is that because we ruined your date with Sally Lu and make you unhappy?''?


    It was disgusting toe here as if everyone owed him!


    "What are you doing here?" Her voice was full of dislike.


    Without waiting for Joey''s answer, Lois tightened her grip on Maggie and said to herself, "it doesn''t


    matter what my daughter is like. Anyway, you have never been a good father. Let''s get together and


    break up peacefully. I will never let you look down upon my daughter again!"


    Joey had never been treated so coldly by Lois. He felt aggrieved and depressed.


    He suppressed the unspeakable depression in his heart and warned Lois, "you''d better give up the


    idea of taking Maggie away. As long as I''m alive, your idea will nevere true."


    Lois didn''t want to talk more in front of the child, and it was useless to argue. She gently patted on the


    back of Maggie and said, "no one knows what will happen in the future. Let''s wait and see."


    Maggie couldn''t resist the call of the God of sleep, so she fell asleep slowly.


    Joey''s phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he was inexplicably irritable. He didn''t want to cause any


    ident when Lois tried to divorce him, but he couldn''t refuse Sally.


    He had nned to answer the phone outside the ward, but when he looked up and saw the faint smile


    on Lois''s face, he felt that he was very confident.


    He stood still and answered the phone. Sally''s voice came through, "Joey, how''s Maggie? Do you need


    me to take care of her? "


    The ward was too quiet. Sally''s voice hit everyone''s eardrum. Maggie didn''t sleep well, and she


    frowned as if she was in great pain.


    Lois felt that her blood was boiling. She gritted her teeth and endured the screams and curses that


    were about to burst out in her throat. She hadn''t divorced Joey yet, but Sally couldn''t wait to visit him as


    a stepmother to abuse her child?


    Joey didn''t care about her daughter, but no one could take her Maggie away from her!


    Lois stepped forward and snatched the phone from Joey. She said in a cold voice, "Miss Lu, you''d


    better focus on how to seduce men. That''s what a mistress should pay attention to. As for my daughter,


    Miss Lu, do you think a shameless mistress is qualified to take care of my daughter? "


    Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Sally''s face turned pale. How could Lois be so calm when


    she knew her existence. What made her most resentful was her arrogant words and voice, as if she


    was the most unremarkable bug. Even talking to her was a reward for her.


    After scolding, Lois felt happy. As the expert said, if there was any emotion, she should vent it.


    Joey felt that if she wasn''t in the hospital, he would have strangled her! What the hell was she talking


    about!


    Speaking of this, it was really a big misunderstanding. There was no private doctor in Gu Family''s vi.


    When Joey went to the Gu''s house to pick up the doctor, Sally just called.


    He couldn''t be perfunctory to her. He just said that the child was sick and needed to go to the old house


    to pick up the doctor.


    However, in the eyes of Joey, it was just that Sally thought that Lois was not at home. She thought that


    as a man, he might not be able to take good care of a child, so she called and asked in detail.


    However, Lois seemed to be on guard against Wolves. He was even more dissatisfied with her malice.


    But when Maggie was having a high fever, he didn''t want to quarrel with her to wake up his child.


    Lois felt both funny and tired when she saw that Joey tried his best to suppress his anger.


    She put the phone back into his hand and smiled bitterly. "Why do we torture each other like this?"


    Joey looked up at her. She smiled bitterly. "I was too stubborn at that time. I had to like you, so things


    turned out to be like this. I hurt the people who shouldn''t have been hurt."


    Joey frowned. He had an intuition that she would say something disappointing next.


    "It''s all my fault. No one else should be to me."


    "In fact, it''s not a bad thing. We divorce and I don''t want any property. You give me the custody of


    Maggie. I will take good care of her and don''t let you have any worries."


    "I won''t have any worries even if I don''t divorce." Joey looked at her and said expressionlessly.


    "Why?" With tears in the corners of her eyes, she bit her lips and said, "I only have Maggie. If you give


    me Maggie, you and Sally can go back to the past. You can recall your love five years ago, and you will


    have a child in the future. You..."


    "No way!" Joey gripped her shoulders and said in a decisive and fierce tone.


    "Joey Gu! I didn''t beg you for anything. This time, I beg you to give up the custody of the child. I will


    give you whatever you want... "She grabbed his arm and cried out.


    Joey shook off her hands and walked to the bedside. He tucked the quilt for Maggie and gently stroked


    her little face.


    He had missed a lot, and now he didn''t want to miss anything again.


    Lois looked at the back of Joey helplessly. He was so gentle to Maggie and his expression was also


    doting. Lois sneered in her heart, ''who else can he pretend to be a kind father when the child is about


    to lose?''.


    However, if Joey had made up his mind topete with her for Maggie, she won''t win.

 Chapter 6 Sandwiched Biscuits

    Chapter 6 Sandwiched Biscuits


    Not to mention the power of Gu Family, no one knew better than her how much Maggie cared about


    Joey''s attitude, and no one knew how much Maggie desired the love of Joey, just like she was


    poisoned five years ago.


    After the injection, Maggie''s fever had been brought down. Joey watched Lois wipe Maggie''s pink lips


    with a cotton stick dipped in water. The little girl''s curly eyshes followed Lois, but her soft thin lips


    looked like ten to ten percent of his.


    "When will she wake up?" Joey took a piece of tissue and wiped the sweat off Maggie''s head.


    "Let''s say it tomorrow morning. She must have been badly hurt by the fever." Said Lois, feeling sorry for


    her.


    Joey thought she was ming him for not taking good care of the child. As soon as he raised his head,


    he saw that she pursed her lips and looked remorseful.


    Heforted her slowly, "Maggie is blessed. Everything will be fine."


    Lois nodded and didn''t want to say anything more.


    "Did she have such a high fever before?" Joey changed the topic.


    Lois''s body stiffened. When Maggie was two years old, she also had a serious illness. At that time,


    Joey was busy with thepany''s affairs, and Lois''s car was just sent to the 4S shop for maintenance.


    There was no driver in the vi, so she was very anxious. She called Joey, but he didn''t answer. She


    called a taxi to the hospital. The little Maggie had a fever of more than 40 degrees. She was angry,


    painful, but helpless.


    She almost lost her Maggie. Even Mr. Gu in the old house had been alerted, but Joey had nevere


    to the hospital to visit Maggie.


    A weekter, when she came back home with Maggie in her arms, she only heard from Joey, "where


    have you been with the child?"


    How she felt at that time? All the bitterness was attached to the tip of her nose, but could not be


    released from her eyes. At that time, she felt wronged, because she loved him. But now it happened


    again, she had no mood except for grievance and sadness.


    When I love you, every word you say can make me cry out loud. When I don''t love you, even the


    sharpest anger can''t shake me at all.


    That was how she felt now. He couldn''t make her suffer or sad except for the child.


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Looking at the absent-minded look on Lois''s face, Joey thought that she was too guilty and silent.


    However, he didn''t know that what he had missed had long be a gap between couples and could


    no longer be repaired.


    In the early morning, when Maggie woke up, she muttered that she wanted to go to the toilet, but Lois


    didn''t hear her. So, Joey cautiously carried the little girl to the toilet.


    Maggie looked at his father, who was holding her with one hand and washing her hands with the other,


    with her eyes blurred, "Dad...Am I dreaming? "


    Joey stopped what she was doing. He took out a few fingers from the box beside and wiped the little


    girl''s hands. He asked, "Mommy doesn''t have that much strength to hold Maggie."


    Maggie looked at him with his eyes wide open, "I want to remember the gentle look of my father in my


    dream."


    Joey held her in her arms and asked, "what does dad look like in your dream?"


    Maggie rolled his eyes and thought for a while, but she didn''t say anything.


    When Maggie returned to the ward, Lois had already woken up. Looking at her panicked face, Joey


    was a little unhappy. "Can I still fight with you for a child?"


    Lois didn''t say anything. He was just trying to grab her child!


    Maggiey down on the bed. She looked at her mother on the right and her father on the left, "why


    don''t youe to the bed?"


    Lois was choked and blew the water in the cup without saying anything.


    On the contrary, Joey teased her with a smile, "if Dad and mom go to bed together, our family will


    be sandwiched biscuits!"


    Maggie pulled up the sheet and shrank her head into the quilt. Her shy look made peopleugh.


    Lois gently pulled the quilt and said, "Maggie, you will be out of breath."


    Maggie pulled down the quilt, nced at Joey with a blush on her face, and shyly hid herself to her


    mother.


    Lois swallowed the bitterness at the corners of her mouth. No one knew better than her how deadly


    Joey''s gentleness was. She held the ss and fed the little girl with water, without saying anything.


    Maggie hadn''t recovered yet. After ying for a while, she fell asleep. In the morning, Joey left in a


    hurry. He went back to the vi to change his clothes and go to thepany.


    Lois spent several days in the hospital to take care of Maggie. Finally on the fifth day, the doctor told


    her that Maggie had recovered and could go home.


    Lois was excited, but she said thanks to the doctor calmly. The old doctor with half hair white waved his


    hand, gave her some dos and don''ts. then he turned around and left the ward.


    Lois was half happy and half worried. Thewyer had tried to talk about the divorce with Joey again


    and again, but he had ignored it. After Maggie was discharged from hospital, she would be taken back


    to Gu Family''s vi.


    If she wasn''t with Maggie at that time, would Maggie endure the pain when she felt ufortable but


    because she was afraid of Joey? Thinking of this, Lois was afraid and painful.


    After hesitating for a while, she dialed Joey''s number.


    Joey took the phone. Although he was angry at the repeated harassment of Lois''swyer, he didn''t


    think that Lois would call and harass him because of the divorce.


    As expected, Lois just politely said that she had something to discuss and invited him to the hospital.


    Although he didn''t know what it was, he was sure that Lois didn''t dare to mention divorce in front of the


    angel child in the hospital.


    Joey cancelled the morning meeting and left thepany with the key.


    Looking at the tired Lois, Joey felt a little sorry for her. Recently, the cooperation of thepany was in


    a hurry, and Sally hade to visit Maggie many times. She always said that Maggie was obedient


    and cute, which made people feel relieved, but he didn''t expect that Lois would be so tired.


    When he was about to say a few words of concern, he suddenly remembered that heryer had been


    looking for him frequently these days, then his expression was reced by indifference.


    Lois sneered at the impatient look on Joey''s face. Did he think she didn''t treat his lover well?


    She held back her anger and sighed, " Joey, are you busy recently?"


    Joey didn''t expect that she would say something like that. He thought that she must be very tired taking


    care of the child in the hospital. He wanted to say something to show his concern, but then he


    remembered the two divorce agreements on his desk.


    On the bed, Maggie looked at her father. She remembered that the aunt who came to see her had


    secretly given her the phone and asked her to talk to her father. The aunt and her father were even


    more intimate than her mother and father, which made her a little ufortable.


    Dad and mom didn''t look like husband and wife at all, but dad and that aunt were more like couples.


    She remembered that the children in the kindergarten were all aunts instead of moms.


    No matter how well that woman treated her and bought her many new toys, she didn''t want to let that


    aunt be a mother.


    Joey looked at her daughter, who seemed a little defensive, he felt a little hurt. The day before


    yesterday, the little girl still called her father intimately on the phone by Sally. It was only two days ago,


    but she had been instigated by Lois to be like this?

 Chapter 7 I Have Nothing But Her

    Chapter 7 I Have Nothing But Her


    Joey''s angry face frightened Maggie. She called her mother in fear. Lois immediately picked her up and


    comforted her, "don''t be afraid..."


    Seeing her daughter curling up in her arms and frowning slightly on her timid face, Lois was even more


    reluctant to part with her.


    She looked up at Joey and said, "you''ve been too busy recently. You can''t leave Maggie alone. I''ll take


    her to my ce for the time being. When she recoverspletely, you can take her back, okay?"


    Joey refused decisively, "no! I''ll take Maggie back. There are so many servants in Gu Family. It''s easy


    to take care of a child. "


    Lois looked at him angrily and repeatedly told herself to calm down. She bit her lips and fawned on him,


    "I''m worried about Maggie. If you miss her, I''ll take her to see you at any time. When she gets better,


    she will go back to Gu Family. She has been timid since childhood. I''m afraid that she won''t tell you


    when she feels ufortable."


    Joey cast a cold nce at her and said, "my daughter dares to tell me anything! I think you have said


    too much that she doesn''t want to tell me! If you want to take care of Maggie, you can go home to take


    care of her. I didn''t stop you from entering the house! "


    Lois pressed her lips and didn''t say anything. That Maggie was afraid of him was known by the whole


    Gu Family, but she had nothing to say if he insisted on framing her.


    "Anyway, we two have been married for five years. It won''t be so difficult to stay in Gu Family for one


    more or one less day. Why are you so serious? " Joey said angrily.


    Holding Maggie in her arms, Lois turned around and was about to leave the ward. However, Joey


    behind her said, "now I still have a little mercy on you. If you dare to take Maggie away, I have enough


    patience to make you unable to see her for the rest of your life!"

    Joey wiped her body and left, without noticing the regret and tears in Lois''s eyes.


    On the second day, Joey came to the hospital with his assistant toplete the discharge formalities.


    Maggie clung to Lois''s body and kept crying.


    Hearing Maggie crying and asking her mother to go home together, Joey rubbed his eyebrows and was


    tired of dealing with it. He winked at his assistant and asked him to solve the problem.


    The assistant was also a man. He was at a loss when facing two women.


    Joey pushed away the assistant''s hand and pulled away the little girl''s arms. Then he pulled away


    Lois''s hand and left the ward with Maggie in his arms.


    Lois quickened her pace and grabbed Joey''s arm. She wanted to say something but stopped on a


    second thought, tears welling up in her eyes.


    Crying, Maggie took Lois''s hand and asked, "Mom, do I have a new mom? Maggie doesn''t want a new


    mother or toys. Maggie only wants mom... "


    Lois felt as if a knife were piercing her heart. At this moment, she hated Joey very much. She hated


    that he had let little Maggie see so much dirty and darkness.


    But she had topromise. She grabbed his sleeve and said, "Joey...Please, give me Maggie. I have


    nothing but her...Please... "


    Joey couldn''t bear to see her begging humbly. But as he thought of the divorce agreement that existed


    in the car, in the office, in the vi, and even in the bedroom. He still said coldly, "Lois, you deserve it.


    No one else should be to me!"


    For him, it was all her fault. She wanted to leave him so much that Maggie got sick.


    Lois looked at him in a daze. She deserved it? Yes...If she hadn''t fallen in love with someone she


    shouldn''t have, she wouldn''t have been involved in so many things?


    Raising her stiff legs, Lois walked slowly to her car. She felt powerless when she thought of Sally''s


    unting in public and secretly these days and her hateful face in front of Maggie.


    She had never felt so tired. In the early days of thepany, she had been caring and ttering Joey


    for a long time. Joey even called Sally''s name on the bed. But She had never been so weak to


    surrender as at this moment.


    But she couldn''t give up. Joey was not a good father. She could pay for what she had done. She was


    willing to do anything thousands or hundreds of times. But she didn''t want Maggie to be a tool for


    revenge. How innocent she was!


    Lois opened the door and got in the car. Finally, she couldn''t help crying out loud. For a long time, she


    didn''t want others to see her fragile side, especially Maggie.


    She was young and ignorant, and she didn''t have a strong sense of security. She didn''t want her to


    know what happened between the adults, and she was more afraid of leaving a shadow in her little


    heart.


    Lois remembered that in order to be the hostess of a rich family, Sally abandoned Joey and threw


    herself into Johnny Gu''s arms. And Mr. Gu didn''t intend to let Johnny Gu be the crown prince at all,


    which happened to fulfill Lois''s wish.


    Now she was not grateful to Mr. Gu at all. She was full of regret. She had seen how Sallyg Linda was.


    Although she was not afraid at that time, it didn''t mean that she was not afraid now. She once again


    regretted marrying Joey ording to Mr. Gu''s words. If she had left with Maggie and hadn''t married


    Joey, she would have lived a happy life with her daughter. Perhaps she wouldn''t hate Joey so much.


    But there was no if. If she didn''t leave, she would feel regretful. If she left, maybe she would feel more


    regretful because she didn''t have a good experience.


    After a long time, Lois wiped her tears, started the car and left the hospital.


    In the Gu Family''s vi, Joey wiped the tears of Maggie with his fingers. The little girl patted him and


    cried for her mother. Joey hugged her helplessly tofort her.


    This time, it was especially difficult to coax Maggie. Sometimes she cried that she didn''t want her new


    mother, and sometimes she cried that she wanted to throw away all the toys he brought back from the


    hospital. The toy was thrown away, but the little girl was still unsatisfied and insisted on driving the bad


    woman away.


    Joey thought that Lois had said something that made the little girl misunderstand him, so he pinched


    Maggie''s face and said, "there are no other women in the vi except servants."


    Maggie looked at Joey with red eyes. Her pursed her lips, lowered her head and sobbed quietly.


    Maggie''s skin was very white. As long as she cried, her face would be red and her big eyes would be


    swollen.


    Knowing that she wanted her mother, Joey didn''t expose it and carried her to the Princess Room on


    the second floor.


    Maggie climbed onto the bed, kicked off her shoes and covered herself with the quilt.


    Joey pulled the quilt away from her and said, "didn''t mom say that it would be stuffy like this?"


    Maggie turned her head and closed her eyes with her back to Joey, which was filled with anger.


    Joey knew that she was in a fit of pique, so he didn''t hurry to coax her. Anyway, as long as the child


    was not angry anymore, she would be fine.


    To his surprise, the little girl was still angry and began to go on a hunger strike. However, when Joey


    looked coldly at Maggie in front of her, the little girl who had been arrogant suddenly became


    depressed. She lowered her head and protested silently.


    Clenching his eyebrows, [Joey felt a little annoyed. Thepany was so busy that he couldn''t get rid


    of it. How dared this little girl refuse to eat!

 Chapter 8 Crisis In Shopping Mall

    Chapter 8 Crisis In Shopping Mall


    The servant put the food on the table with her head down and left without saying a word.


    Joey picked up a small bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and blew it. Then he


    handed it to Maggie''s lips and said, "eat it!"


    "I want mom to feed me!" Maggie resisted, holding the Pooh Toy in her arms.


    Joey narrowed his eyes and asked, "eat or not?"


    Maggie was frightened by his cold voice. She bit her lips and didn''t dare to cry out, but the Pooh Toy in


    her arms was a little deformed.


    Joey softened, "Maggie, I''m very busy. Maggie will be a good kid of dad if she has a good meal. "


    "I know dad is very busy," the little girl rubbed her red eyes and said, "I just want mom to be with me..."


    Joey''s face turned pale. Since when did the little girl say such words? She knew that her father was


    very busy, as long as her mother was with her...


    It was Lois who had been taking care of her all the time. He had never done anything for her, so


    naturally there would be no return.


    Joey''s phone rang. He turned around and answered it. It was Sally, who often went to the hospital to


    visit Maggie.


    "Joey, do you have time? Is it convenient for you to meet me? " Sally said softly.


    "I''m worried about Maggie at home alone..."


    "Why is Maggie alone at home? Is she okay? Is she crying? " Sally said worriedly.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Joey sighed helplessly, "she is still mad at me. She won''t let me go."


    The smile on Sally''s face froze, and she cursed in her heart, ''she is indeed as ill bred as her mother!''!


    But she smiled gently, "how can you take care of the child as a man? Let me go to see her."


    Joey looked at the little girl who was full of vignce and said, "okay."


    Joey put down his phone and looked at the way that Maggie pursed her lips. She looked exactly like


    her mother. Whenever she was on guard, she would always pursed her lips slightly.


    "Aunt Sally wille back to see youter. Maggie, be a good girl, okay?"


    Maggie immediately said, "no, I don''t want her! I don''t want a bad woman toe here! "


    "Shut up!" Joey shouted harshly. Seeing the frightened look in the little girl''s eyes, he said softly, "how


    can you be impolite to Auntie?"


    Maggie curled her lips. She wanted to cry but dared not. She remembered that the teacher in the


    kindergarten said that If she had a new mother and her father would not love her anymore. She


    lowered her head and cried silently.


    Joey thought she was frightened by his usual coldness, so he turned around with guilt. For a moment,


    the two of them became depressed.


    When Sally arrived, she saw that Joey was having a cold war with Maggie. She smiled at Maggie, but


    the little girl only said, "Auntie, I''m sleepy." Then she turned around and pretended to be asleep.


    Lois had called Joey several times to discuss about the divorce, but she had been perfunctory by Joey.


    Seeing that she was getting thinner and thinner, Tania Tang couldn''t bear it and said, "you''d better be


    more open-minded. Don''t get yourself involved if you can''t get a divorce!"


    Lois shook her head and didn''t want to say anything more.


    "By the way, I''m going to buy some summer clothes. Would you like to go with me?" Tania Tang put


    down the coffee in her hand and said.


    When Lois was about to refuse, Tania Tang pulled her up and said, "let''s go! The shopping mall nearby.


    "


    Lois was pulled to the women''s wear area by Tania Tang. "Can you stop being so depressed! It will be


    a great loss if the baby can''te back and put your body in danger! "


    Biting her lips, Lois said, "If Joey doesn''t agree. I can''t even divorce him, let alone take Maggie away."


    "Half of you and half of him. The child is like you, also like him. He won''t watch his child being beaten


    by her stepmother. Don''t worry!" Looking at the exquisite cheongsam in front of her, Tania Tang said,


    "this one is good. You can have a try!"


    Looking at the cheongsam, Lois was also interested.


    "Salesgirl, find her size!" Pointing at Lois, Tania Tang said.


    The cheongsam was snow-cyan, which was rare to see. It was embroidered with pink blue gold silk


    and Phoenix, which was her favorite high necked long cheongsam. She gently put on the delicate white


    buckle. But unexpectedly, another hand touched the cheongsam at the same time.


    "Salesgirl, take it down and let me have a try!" Sally smiled.


    Lois turned to look at the person who had the same eyes as her, but was full of astonishment, and so


    was Sally.


    The sales clerk was a little girl. She blushed and said, "I''m sorry, you two. This is the only cheongsam I


    have."


    Sally smiled politely. She had a delicate face and looked gentle and harmless when she smiled. She


    took out a gold card from her bag and put it on the bar counter, with the name of Joey Gu engraved on


    it.


    Sally smiled and spread out her right hand, indicating that Lois should have a try first.


    Lois felt disgusted to see Sally''s pretentious posture. If she tried, which showed that she was not as


    important as a mistress. If she didn''t try, she would be narrow-minded and petty.


    Lois smiled. It didn''t matter. The worst result was that she would pay her back next time!


    Raising her chin, Lois said, "take it off for me."


    The little girl hemmed and hawed without saying anything or taking any action. After a while, the


    Department Manager rushed over, took a ttering look at Sally, turned around and apologized to Lois,


    "I''m sorry, miss. I have to let thisdy try on this dress first, and when I make sure that she doesn''t


    need it..."


    Lois didn''t know that this card had such great power. She looked at Sally who was with undisguised


    comcency and disdain. Did she feel that she was trampled under her feet? That''s why you are so


    proud?


    Sally picked up the cheongsam and smiled helplessly. A trace of shyness shed across her face. "I''m


    really sorry. I didn''t expect that Joey is so considerate..."


    Then she pretended to be hesitant and said, "Miss Shen, you''d better take a look at other things first. I


    will pay all the expenses you buy here today, as my sorry. "


    Sally picked up the cheongsam she had just taken off and was about to try it on, but Tania Tang


    grabbed the hem of the cheongsam. Sally lost her bnce and almost fell down. The sales clerk held


    her in a hurry. The manager was relieved and hurried tofort her, "Miss, are you okay?"


    Sally generously waved her hand and said, "I''m fine. Don''t worry."


    The manager and the sales clerk looked at the two of Lois them with more resentment, but they didn''t


    say anything because that the customer was just like a god.


    Tania Tang looked at the manager with a sneer, " I was the one called the sales clerk first, and I was


    the one who picked the cheongsam first. Why should they let her try first?"


    "That''s it for today. I''ll buy this cheongsam. Even if I can''t wear it, I''ll buy it back as a duster cloth!"


    Looking at Sally''s hateful face, Lois thought of Sally''s gently raised hand and threw her lifelong hope


    into the trash can. She wanted everything for her, but she wouldn''t give it to her!


    With a slight smile, Lois took out her card from her wallet and said, "I don''t want to try it on anymore.


    Pack it for me and I''ll buy it directly!"


    Sally sneered, as ifughing at her ridicule.


    The manager frowned slightly and said, "Miss, I didn''t mean to make things difficult for you. But the


    card thisdy took out is not an ordinary card. It''s a high-end customized white gold card of our


    company. There are less than five cards in total. These are specially made for several senior directors


    in thepany."

 Chapter 9 Im In Joeys Heart

    Chapter 9 I''m In Joey''s Heart


    The manager pointed at Joey''s name on the white gold card and said, "this is the name of the president


    of Gu Consortium. ording to the rules of the head office, once someone takes out the white gold


    card, he or she can enjoy some privileges, or even free orders."


    Looking at the name "Joey Gu" engraved on the white gold card, Lois twitched her lips, but felt a little


    helpless. For the first time, she felt his name dazzling. She was his wife, and he didn''t like her to help


    others bully her.


    Sally''s figure, temperament and even dressing style were quite different. She knew that Sally did it on


    purpose, but she didn''t me her. If it weren''t for Joey, she wouldn''t have been humiliated like this. No


    matter what, it was Joey who started it. She couldn''t defeat him and couldn''t take back Maggie.


    When Tania heard the name of Joey, she stepped forward and took the white gold card. Looking at the


    three words, she squinted slightly and threw the card on Sally''s face. She said with disdain, "are you


    the third woman who jumped out of Joey''s bed to sleep with his illegitimate child brother five years


    ago?"


    "I don''t know what you are talking about," said Sally, evasive


    "Why are you so unreasonable? Shame on you! " Tania nced at her up and down, "dirty woman!"


    Tania had always been a strong woman. She was arrogant, cold and unruly. Naturally, she didn''t like


    Sally, who was ying tricks on her.


    Tania rudely pulled the manager''s cor and said, "it''s easy to say if you work for Joey Gu! Open your


    eyes wide and see, this is the wife of the president of Gu Consortium. Isn''t her face more important


    than a broken card? You''d better blink your eyes. It doesn''t matter if you lose your face. Losing your job


    is not fun! "


    Tania loosened the manager''s cor and sneered at Sally, "how dare a mistress show off in the street


    nowadays? I advise you to go back to the bed and fetch some food beforeing out. But it''s not


    proper to put it in name. It''s a private goods and doesn''t worth money! "


    Originally, the people gathered around the shop were watching the bustle of the customers, but now it


    turned into a home wrecker who came to ask for humiliation.


    As a Chinese, they never thought it was a big deal. It was none of their business.

    Looking at the people around her, from envy to disdain, Sally couldn''t bear other people''s criticism the


    most. She argued awkwardly, "I''m a couple with Joey. It was this woman who pretended to be me that


    made Joeye into the room with her! She is the mistress! "


    "Who can pretend to be you since your face is on your head? Besides, you have been with Joey for


    many times. He haven''t mentioned marriage for so long. How can you be so confident?"


    Tania had always been eloquent. When Lois got married, she drank alone and beat four Groomsmen.


    Not only did she drink, but she also had the upper hand.


    "Nonsense! I''m in Joey''s heart! " Sally retorted.


    "I don''t know whether he loves you or not. I only know that you kicked him out for Gu Family''s property


    and climbed into his illegitimate brother''s bed."


    Tania was tall and slender, and she had the upper hand in high heels. She looked at Sally who was as


    weak as an ant, with a sense of disdain.


    Sally retorted angrily, "it''s useless to say anything now! Joey has long nned to divorce Lois. But Lois


    still keeps pestering him by taking advantage of her child. As a result, Maggie is sick and no one takes


    care of her. She is the most despicable woman among all these! "


    Lois was almost amused by Sally''s lie.


    She had been tolerating Sally and Joey for a long time. She didn''t expect that Maggie would be so sick


    because of Joey and Sally add the me on her.


    She stepped forward and tried to p Sally across the face. There were cheers in the crowd. She knew


    it was just the bad quality of watching the fun and couldn''t take it seriously. But she was determined to


    p her. Unexpectedly, her hand was gripped by a powerful hand, and the owner of that hand also


    protected Sally behind her.


    Lois looked at Joey''s fierce eyes, and her beautiful eyes with anger did not retreat at all.


    Joey shook off her slender white wrist. Seeing the bruise on her hand, he clenched her fists and felt


    sorry for her. With anger on his face, he looked at Tania unhappily and said, "Miss Tang seems to be


    very idle recently. Is thepany going to close down soon?"


    With a fake smile on her face, Tania said, "my smallpany won''t be able to close down in a short


    time. When ites to leisure, Mr. Joey is really free!" You even got time to go shopping with your


    mistress!


    Lois looked at Joey and said, "let''s not talk about other people''s business. We''d better solve it


    ourselves."


    Joey was furious. What happened between them? Divorce again? This woman had to mention it every


    time she saw him. Was she going to mention the custody of Maggie now!


    Looking at the Furious Joey, Lois didn''t want to say anything more. She pulled Tania out of the mall.


    When Lois turned around, he heard Sally pretend to be weak. Joeyforted her softly, "don''t lower


    yourself to the same level as her."


    Lois stopped and thought, ''don''t lower herself to the same level as me? She smiled angrily. A woman


    who could only seduce men by sleeping with him didn''t want to lower herself to the same level as the


    boss of a once listedpany?


    Joey was dumbfounded!


    Seeing that she just stopped and didn''t even look at him, Joey looked coldly at the manager beside her


    and said, "from now on, as long as the mall is under Gu Consortium, this woman is not allowed to


    enter! If she dares toe, just throw her out! "


    Lois didn''t stop. She just took Tania''s hand and strode away. She had got enough, she should leave.


    Staying here would be more humiliation. He would never show mercy to her.


    Sitting quietly in the coffee shop, Lois''s eyes were dull. She was in a worse mental state than before


    she went to the mall.


    Tania patted her on the shoulder and stayed still with her in silence.


    "What am I going to do now?" She had thought that she would never cry because of Joey anymore, but


    things were out of control.


    "Let''s go back to the past. Just as I said, you can''t put all your heart on the child. You will take things


    too hard."


    Lois turned to look at her, and Tania sighed, "I told you not to give up thepany, but you didn''t listen


    to me. Every richdy has a pile of business in her hand. You are the purest one, and yourpany


    has been sold!"


    "Look at yourself now. What else do you have for the sake of the family and the child! Once you get


    divorced, Gu Consortium won''t give you any shares. Just wait and see! " Tania poked her forehead.


    Lowering her head, Lois kept silent.


    Tania didn''t know how tofort people. She just lowered her head and kept silent.


    Lowering her eyes, Lois sat there for a long time. It was already hot in May. She sat by the window and


    sat quietly until the afternoon. Her arms were red in the sun, but she ignored it.

 Chapter 10 There Is Always Hope To Live On

    Chapter 10 There Is Always Hope To Live On


    Tania knew that she had been through a lot recently, so she didn''t bother her and just waited for her to


    straighten out her thinking.


    Lois didn''t move until the sun set. Tania pulled her into the car and drove her home.


    As soon as Lois returned to her rental house, she began to cry. Tania was frightened by her silence.


    Tania coaxed her with a tissue, "don''t cry. It''s ugly. Maggie won''t recognize you anymore..."


    Lois shook her head. She didn''t want to give up, but she knew that Joey wouldn''t let her go and Maggie


    wouldn''te back to her.


    Lois cried so hard that she couldn''t catch her breath. Tania took out her phone from her pocket and


    dialed Joey''s number.


    Looking at the caller ID, Joey rubbed between his eyebrows and answered the phone, "hello."


    "It''s me, Tania. Joey, You let Lois see Maggie. She is crying so hard that she can''t breathe. Let''s talk


    about itter if she has any grudge against you. You let her see the child. Her emotion now..." Du....The


    phone was hung up.


    Tania shouted at the phone, "Damn it! Is he a man! Why is he so vindictive? "


    When Tania raised her head, she saw that Lois was looking at her with red eyes. Tania put down her


    phone and turned her head helplessly. She didn''t dare to face the hidden hope in Lois''s eyes. She had


    watched Lois walk over step by step until now. Although she was angry, she pitied the person she


    trusted.


    "Now that things havee to this, we can only take it step by step. What are you going to do next?"


    Sitting next to her, Tania said, "I think you''d better run thepany first. Only when you have the


    financial strength, can you reallypete with Joey for your child."


    Lowering her head, Lois''s face was pale and feeble. She forced a smile and said, "I know. I''ll go to find


    awyer tomorrow and officially discuss divorce with Joey."


    Tania patted her stooping waist and said, "you''d better straighten up. Don''t always be so depressed."


    Lois nodded, "Tania, please help me find a ce. I am gonna to work hard."


    Looking at her forced smile, Tania patted her head and said, "there will be hope for you to live on."


    Hearing that, Lois felt a lump in her throat. She shook her head hard and said, "it''s not that serious. As


    you said, half of Maggie is mine and half is his. He won''t be willing to see his little fellow suffer, will he?"


    She tried her best to ignore the uncertainty in her words. She gritted her teeth and smiled, "I''m tired.


    Let''s have a rest."


    Lois asked Tania to set up thepany. She focused on talking about the divorce with thewyer.


    She was caught off guard. Just as she was confident to negotiate with thewyer group she hired, she


    was refused by severalwyers. Either because their child was seriously ill, or because their parents in


    the countryside fell down and were hospitalized.


    All of a sudden, there was no one around Lois. She temporarily transferred the newly established


    company to Tania and went straight to thew office.


    Lois looked at thewyers ''whose kid was sick two days ago, no one took care of the child'', and ''whose


    mother fell and lost her legs'', and was hospitalized'', and ''who was on a vacation abroad with his wife''.


    she was surprised, but felt it reasonable.


    Major Chen frowned, hesitated and greeted, "Mrs. Shen."


    Lois looked at Major Chen and asked, "is Mr. Chen''s wife abroad alone?"


    Major blushed and said, "Mrs. Shen, you''d better to stop. "


    She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "why?"


    "Gu Family is powerful!" Major left in a hurry with one word left.


    Lois smiled and understood.


    Having made an appointment with Tania in the cafe, Lois felt that she needed to relieve her depressed


    mood.


    Sitting opposite to Lois, Tania said with righteous indignation, "Joey has gone too far this time!"


    "He has gone too far every time."


    Taking a sip of the watermelon juice, Lois said, "I thought he is honest."


    "Can you stop putting on a deadpan face? Why do you suddenly feel eight degrees cold recently?"


    Tania sighed helplessly.


    Stirring the coffee in the quilt, Tania asked, "do you think he is not revenging on you and almost hit his


    little lover?"


    Lowering her eyelids to hide the grievance in her eyes, Lois said coldly, "I don''t know. Anyway, He


    won''t thank me!"


    Joey was coaxing Maggie feeding her, but he didn''t expect that Lois''s phone suddenly came. He


    hurriedly pressed the button. Maggie hadn''t called her mother every day just now. If she knew that Lois


    called him, she would definitely make trouble for him as she did a few days ago.


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Lois looked at the outside world of the balcony. The traffic in the darkness was indeed more mysterious


    and beautiful than in the day. If her Maggie was by her side, she would keep talking about the bright


    street lights and the beautiful advertising boards. She would say," It was so warm in mom''s arms."


    She held her arms, eager to feel more warmth, but she still shivered.


    Her phone rang and she answered it as if she saw a life-saving straw, "What''s up?" The man''s voice


    was still cold, no, only cold to her


    "How is Maggie doing recently?" She didn''t dare to ask more, fearing that Joey would hang up the


    phone if he was unhappy.


    "Well, she almost forgot you."


    Lois seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt. She kept silent and the words kept resounding in her ears.


    Maggie almost forgot her. She was about to forget her


    She even didn''t dare to breathe, and bean sized tears rolled out of her eyes


    "No..."She begged in a hoarse voice, "I only have her. Joey...Don''t let her forget me... "


    Joey was moved by her crying. When he was about tofort her, he saw Maggie standing at the door


    of the study with a Pooh Toy in her arms. Her big eyes which like her mother''s were filled with tears.


    He hung up the phone in a hurry, but didn''t dare to look at her even if he had done something wrong.


    Looking at him, Maggie didn''t feel wronged, nor did she cry, nor did she call her mother. She turned


    around and went back to her Princess Room.


    Regardless of anything else, Joey strode to keep up with them. When he pushed the door open, he


    found that Maggie had already locked the door.


    Hearing the sound of broken ss in the room, he patted the door and said, "Maggie, open the door!"


    "I hate you! Go! "


    Hearing her crying voice, Joey was a little anxious. He was even more afraid that the ss would hurt


    her. "Maggie! Listen to me. Open the door! "


    "Go! Go! "


    The sound of porcin pieces could be heard continuously.


    Gritting his teeth, Joey coaxed in a low voice, "Maggie, Daddy will take you to see Mommy. Mommy


    missed you so much that she cried. "


    Hearing the sudden silence in the room, Joey felt relieved. "I promise I''ll take you to see mom. Mom is


    angry with dad and won''t go home. Let''s pick her up together..."


    The door was opened. Joey picked up a messy Maggie andforted her softly, but he never


    mentioned taking her to see Lois again.


    Knowing that he was lying to him, Maggie burst into tears, "I hate you. I hate you. Dad is a bad guy. I


    hate you..."


    Pursing his lips tightly, Joey took off the little girl''s dress and bound up the wound on her shin.


    He cast a cold nce at the servant and said, "go and put the ss balls and porcin dolls in her


    room into the storage room!"


    "No, don''t do that. Mom gave them to me. I hate you! "


    "Shut up!"

 Chapter 11 She Has Already Forgotten You

    Chapter 11 She Has Already Forgotten You


    Maggie was no longer afraid of him. She turned around with her cheeks bulging, and swore in her heart


    that she would never talk to her bad father again!


    Lois closed her dry eyes. Her mind was full of happiness when she was with Maggie, but she couldn''t


    fall asleep.


    Looking at the slightly bright light in the morning, she bent her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.


    Lois went to thepany early in the morning to deal with the unfinished business of Tania.


    She took out her phone and breathed a sigh of relief. It was only nine o''clock. It was time to make a


    decision.


    She texted, "if you hate me for humiliating your lover, I''ll let you humiliate me back.". As long as we


    divorce and you give me Maggie, I will do anything you ask me to do.


    Listening to the report from the staff, Joey turned on his phone and saw the message. He smiled, '' she


    couldn''t help bute to apologize to me?'' Sure enough, as long as he mentioned Maggie, she would


    compromise.


    "Bang!" The phone was thrown out from the Secretary''s side and fell on the viewing basin.


    "Get out!" He suddenly stood up and threw a pile of documents on the desk.


    All the people left the office one after another, leaving only Joey alone. He slowly sat on the chair, with


    his eyes closed, enduring the anger and pain in his heart.


    Joey got off the car weakly. He handed the suit to the servant and asked, "where is [Maggie?"


    "Miss Maggie has fallen asleep." The servant said obediently.


    Joey went straight upstairs. The little girl''s eyshes were like small fans, and her face was white and


    her lips were red, like a porcin doll.


    He smiled and touched her delicate face, but the smile at the corners of his mouth became bitter. In


    less than a month, the little girl had lost a lot of weight.


    The more painful Joey felt, the more resentful he hated Lois. He hated her for abandoning Maggie and


    for her irresponsibility to this family.


    He remembered that at first, in order to marry him, Lois had tried her best to seduce him by putting


    down her body when he was drunk. After marriage, he was as free as water and unrestrained.


    There was no need to maintain the family, nor to care about the child. Lois would always apany


    him quietly when he was unhappy, serve him when he had a hangover, and even remember to feed


    him hangover soup afterwards.


    Their life was peaceful in the past, and Lois never went against his will. He thought this was the best


    life, but why did she make so many annoying things which were not as he wished.


    In other words, Lois was not willing to continue to be a housewife. She wanted to use these divorce


    ys to attract attention and care from him?


    Joey smiled ironically. No way!


    Joey tucked the quilt for Maggie and then took out his phone to call his assistant.


    "Find someone to keep an eye on Lois. Be careful and don''t let her find out!"


    He turned off the phone and put it into his pocket. He would like to see when Lois would beg for mercy


    and return to Gu Family?


    Lois had been busy between thepany and the rental house for more than half a month. She was


    exhausted both physically and mentally because of the busy work these days. She didn''t want to think


    too much, so she could only make herself busier and busier.


    Thepany had begun to run. Lois worked overtime until ten o''clock every night. When she went


    back to the rental house, she began to heat up the milk in the microwave. During this period, she took a


    shower, drank the milk and fell asleep.


    She didn''t want to take a hot bath to relieve her tiredness. She wanted to be more busy, so that she


    wouldn''t remember that sentence.


    Her Maggie almost forgot her...


    During this period of time, Joey had cut off all contact with her. He didn''t answer the phone or text back,


    as if she was just a passer-by.


    She had been to hispany before. She was either perfunctorily told that he was not in thepany,


    or he had been prevaricated by meetings.


    Lois closed her eyes and said, "don''t cry, don''t cry."


    She covered her mouth and curled up on the bed, "Joey, I hate you so much... "


    Joey stood up abruptly, with fear and reluctance in his eyes. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and


    took out his phone from the bed. When he was about to call the private detective, he put down his


    phone angrily. How could that woman want to die!


    Looking at Maggie in the photo on the phone, Lois kissed the little girl''s forehead with her dry lips. Her


    heart ached like a needle pricking.


    Did she miss her? Did she lose weight? Did she feel wronged and painful?


    "Maggie almost forgot you..."


    Lois thought that she would never be able topete with Joey, because she had a soft spot. As long


    as she had a soft spot, she would never be able to turn over.


    Lois stood up, put on her usual work clothes and went downstairs with the car key.


    She drove to the parking lot beside Gu Consortium at night. At first, she could wait quietly with her eyes


    wide open, but after midnight, she began to feel dizzy.


    At dawn, Lois clenched her teeth and pinched her thigh to slowly dispel her sleepiness and cheer up to


    wait.


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    People parked the car one after another. Joey''s car slowly stopped not far away. She opened the door


    and got off, but she stumbled and almost fell down. She rubbed her numb legs and quickly walked


    towards Joey.


    Joey looked at Lois in surprise. Why was she here? He was both angry and angry when he saw her


    pale and thin face like Maggie''s. If Maggie saw her like this, she would think that he had bullied her!


    Lois''s eyes were covered with bruises, which made her look haggard and weak.


    Joey winked at the assistant. The assistant took two steps forward and said, "Miss Shen, our CEO still


    has two meetings. You''d bettere backter! "


    The assistant was a little embarrassed to drive her away directly. She only said that Joey was very


    busy, hoping that Lois could stop.


    Lois was already very tired. She had been awake for more than ten days, and she was restlessst


    night. She gritted her teeth and swallowed, "Mr. Gu, I want to talk to you."


    Joey had nned to sit with her, but he didn''t expect that she would give him a head-on blow. He


    completely ignored the "Miss Shen" mentioned by the assistant and only cared about the "Mr. Gu"


    mentioned by Lois.


    "What are you doing? Just make her leave if she won''t leave herself!" Joey scolded his assistant coldly.


    Enraged and sad by Joey''s words, Lois didn''t hide her anger anymore and said bluntly, "I know you did


    stop thewyers!"


    Looking at her, Joey sneered and said frankly, "yes, I did it!"


    Lois tried to soften herself, "What else do you want? What on earth do you want to do to let me go?"


    she raised her hand and promised, "once we divorce, I will leave this city with Maggie. Maggie will no


    longer have any contact with you, and we will not interfere with your and Sally..."


    "Shut up!" How Joey wished he could strangle the woman in front of him. She wanted to take away his


    daughter so that he would never see them for the rest of his life! How cruel she was!


    As if his heart was being kneaded by her wantonly, he pretended to take a nce at her calmly and


    said, "Maggie won''t go with you. I don''t care whether you go or not. Go clean. Don''t make my daughter


    unhappy!"

 Chapter 12 Break-up Fee

    Chapter 12 Break-up Fee


    Hearing that, Lois''s body froze. She didn''t care whether she left or not. This was the man she loved the


    whole youth. How could he be so hard hearted?!


    Looking at the pale face of Lois, Joey felt a little sorry for her. He med Lois secretly that she


    shouldn''t have made him angry like this. His irritable mood disturbed his mood. He winked at his


    assistant and turned around to leave.


    Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, Lois quickly caught up with him and said, "Joey Gu! If you


    can''t exin it clearly, you can''t leave! "


    Lois had made up her mind to make it clear this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to see


    Joey again because of the PR ability of his subordinates!


    Joey was a little stunned by Lois''s sudden impulse. She had always been introverted, and had never


    been so noisy. She seldom cried. They had lived together for many years, and he didn''t know that she


    had the potential to be a shrew.


    But when he saw the gossips in the employees'' eyes, he was a little unhappy. Could they watch her


    bustle?


    Seeing the CEO''s unhappy face, the staff didn''t dare to watch any longer and walked quickly to the


    company building.


    Joey looked at Lois unhappily, "don''t make trouble in the parking lot of thepany again! Remember


    it. "


    As soon as Joey took a step forward, her sleeve was pulled by the woman behind him.


    Joey turned around and asked with a scornful smile, "what? Now you think it''s unfair without the break-


    up fee? "


    Lois looked at him nkly, as if she had never known him before. She was a little haggard because of


    a sleepless night, and now her face was as white as paper.


    Fortunately, she didn''t have any hope from Joey now, so she wouldn''t be depressed by a few words.


    She had already been mentally prepared. Insulting Sally like that in the shopping mall under Gu


    Consortium had already provoked him. How could he let her go so easily?


    He didn''t love Maggie, but he was happy to insult her with Maggie.


    "I know I was wrong..."She finally lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong. Give me the baby


    and I''ll do whatever you want to do with it... "


    She choked with sobs. She had said such words for countless times in just two months, but Joey didn''t


    care about it, leaving her no chance to repent and beg.


    Compared with Sally''s pretending to be weak and entering Gu Family as a mistress, her ending was


    more than a hundred times pathetic.


    With a straight face, Joey suppressed the pain and resentment surging out of his chest. He looked


    coldly at Lois''s slender arm.


    He seemed to have never paid attention to her, but inexplicably felt that the bony woman was not as


    charming as before.


    "I won''t let you take Maggie away." Joey raised his head and said coldly.


    Lois was dumbfounded. She raised her head slightly, only to see Joey''s cold and resolute chin. Two


    lines of tears flowed out of her eyes, "I know I was wrong. I don''t dare to do that again. I won''t get


    involved in the rtionship between you and Sally... "


    "Enough!" Joey just couldn''t stand her pitiful look and soft begging voice, which almost forced him to


    agree to her request.


    "As I said, Maggie will not leave Gu Family! As for you, no one will care whether you go or stay! "


    He stretched out his hand to remove Lois''s fingers, regardless of panic and resentment in his heart.


    Now he just wanted to stay away from her, as far as possible!


    "Joey Gu..."


    She reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, as if she had grasped thest life-saving straw.


    Tears were still dropping from her slimmer chin, and her eyes were struggling and begging.


    Joey''s heart was weighed down by a heavy stone. All the cells in his body were shouting to escape


    from her. He looked at her coldly, "I have a...meeting".


    When he was making an excuse, he saw that all the hesitation in her eyes had turned into firmness and


    indifference


    Hearing his usual excuse for a long time, Lois suddenly realized that if she didn''t make any "choice"


    that satisfied him, he would never talk to her in detail, let alone let her go!


    She let go of the corner of his clothes and slowly bent her knees


    Joey was in great pain. Although he had never cared about Lois for five years, he knew her pride and


    self-respect.


    If she really begged him like this today, their rtionship would never be restored. No matter what it


    was, even if Maggie came to repair it, they could not go back to the past.


    Seeing that Lois''s knees were about to fall to the ground, Joey shot a murderous nce at the


    assistant beside him. The assistant trembled but didn''t understand what he meant. His body shrank


    into a ball.


    A sudden sense of despair rose in Joey''s heart. His self-esteem rejected the warning in the bottom of


    his heart, but he couldn''t ignore the reluctance and pain from his heart and chest.


    "Wait a moment..."


    A pleasant male voice was heard, and Joey was slowly relieved. It was the first time that he thanked


    someone for being nosy, and also the first time that he was afraid of no one interrupted. He turned to


    look at the source of the voice, but his eyes narrowed dangerously.


    Hearing the voice of the third person, Lois was slightly stunned, but she grinned. She didn''t need to be


    afraid of losing face since she was about to kneel down.


    Joey looked up and saw a man in grey suit and golden frame sses slowly walking towards him.


    Hearing the sound of "click" approaching, Lois shrank her body, unwilling to be seen to be


    embarrassed.


    With a gentle and elegant smile on his lips, the man got closer and closer. He took out a tissue from his


    pocket with his right hand, walked up and squatted down.

    The smile on his lips didn''t change, but a hint of pity shed across his drooping eyelids. His fair and


    clean fingers took a tissue to wipe the tiny dust off the ck high heels.


    Lois looked at the slender hand passing through her shoes, but her tears fell uncontrobly on the back


    of that man''s hand.


    People would be strong when they were helpless, but once someone cared about them, they could not


    help showing weakness, showing grievance and sadness.


    Kent Wu''s fingers trembled, but he suppressed the anger and pain in his heart. He raised the corners


    of his mouth again, but not as gentle as the smile at the beginning.


    He held up Lois and said gently, "a beautiful girl should leave most of the opportunities to men, instead


    of doing everything by herself."


    Lois looked at Kent Wu gratefully.


    Looking at her swollen eyes, Kent Wu took out two more tissues from his pocket and handed them to


    her with a smile.


    Lois took the tissue and nodded.


    Lois turned to look at Joey. This man was looking at her coldly, as if she was an impure woman.


    Thinking of the moment when she lost her self-esteem, she felt a little depressed. Considering that


    Kent Wu and Joey knew each other, she couldn''t leave at once.


    Seeing that she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Joey was even more


    furious. That man only gave her a piece of tissue, but she was already fascinated by him. Didn''t she


    recognize him as his husband!

 Chapter 13 Its Him

    Chapter 13 It''s Him


    Lois looked at Joey''s angry eyes. She remembered that it seemed that because the gentle man helped


    her up just now, she didn''t kneel down, so did it make him unhappy?


    Thinking of this, Lois felt sad, but she didn''t dare to say anything. She turned around and looked at the


    gentle man beside her. He looked familiar, but she couldn''t remember where she had met him before.


    Maybe they had cooperated with each other before.


    Kent quietly observed Lois''s reaction. What made him anxious and scared was the strange look in


    Lois''s eyes. She was not familiar with him at all, but only strange and grateful.


    Kent frowned. He didn''te to his senses until he saw the displeasure on Joey''s face.


    Kent nodded gently, took out the business card he had already prepared and handed it to Joey. "Mr.


    Joey, I''m the general manager of HN Group Overseas. This is my business card."


    Joey took the business card, but he looked a little serious. In the past, the chairman of HN Group would


    come to negotiate cooperation in person, but this time, the general manager was sent. He was afraid


    that the man in front of him was not only experienced here.


    He once heard that when HN Group was suppressed, the general manager called Kent pulled back the


    orders and cooperation letters that had been taken away during that time, but did not promise any


    unfair conditions, which was enough to show how strong the gentle man in front of him was!


    Joey thought a lot and nodded slightly, "Oh, it''s you, Mr. Kent. I''ve heard a lot about you."


    Lois knew about HN Group. Every time HN Group came tomunicate, Joey would be drunk for


    several days in a row, and sometimes he would even stay out all night for several days.


    The two men came and went with fake courtesy. From their words, Lois knew that Kent came here on


    behalf of the chairman of HN Group. HN Group and the Gu Consortium had cooperated with each


    other for more than a few years, and they had always been willing and happy to see it.


    But the difference was that,pared with the previous chairman of HN Group and his cooperative


    group, this year only the general manager of HN Group, Kent, and his assistant discussed cooperation.


    The number of employees decreased greatly, and the quality was not at the same level. She could not


    help but guess whether it was because of more internal strife or ability.


    Seeing that Kent was sincere, Joey had to let go of the grudge in his heart and talk about the future


    cooperation with him. At the same time, he ignored the existence of Lois.


    Without Joey''s cold eyes and embarrassment, Lois felt much better, but her heart was heavier.


    She couldn''t predict what Joey would do to her next. There were too many things that she couldn''t


    bear, such as giving up the custody of Maggie, and having nowhere to ask for a divorce


    The two men were chatting happily, but was interrupted by the Secretary beside Joey. The secretary


    took the phone and nced at Joey in embarrassment. He whispered to the other end of the phone,


    "postpone it for a while..."


    Kent smiled apologetically and gently saved Joey, "Mr. Joey is busy now. It seems that I am a little


    anxious..."


    The corners of Joey''s mouth twitched. He only said that thepany had been busy recently.


    Kent nodded and stretched out his left hand. "Then I won''t disturb you anymore. I''m looking forward to


    our cooperation."


    Joey wanted to ask him to go to thepany for a walk, but was declined by Kent. "I have some


    personal affairs to deal with, so I won''t make trouble for Mr. Joey for the time being."


    Joey had no choice but to give up. He had made an oral agreement with Kent that he would go out for


    a meal the next time when they cooperated with each other. Then, his assistant urged him to go to Gu


    Consortium.


    Lois watched Joey receding figure, but she saw clearly that hisst nce at her was a warning mixed


    with coldness.


    What was he warning her? Did he warn her not to mention what happened today to Kent?


    He warned her not to tell others that he had a mistress outside?


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    He was afraid that her nagging would dy the development of Gu Consortium and postpone the


    cooperation with HN Group.


    Even if he didn''t warn her, she wouldn''t say anything more.


    Those things were not only an obstacle to him, but also a shameful and disgusting scar to her.


    However, her n failedst night. Not only did she not get back Maggie, but she alsopletely


    annoyed Joey again.


    Biting her lower lip, Lois felt depressed. The five fingers with distinct joints suddenly shed through


    her mind. She looked up at the man who was talking happily with Joey.


    Kent still smiled gently, but there was something simr to tenderness in his brown eyes.


    The more Lois thought of the man in front of her, the more kind he looked. She looked at the handsome


    man in confusion. Without saying anything, Kent stood there and let her look at him.


    Her eyes were full of inquiry and doubts. Kent couldn''t helpughing, and the corners of his lips were


    raised a little higher.


    Realizing her impoliteness, Lois looked away and said gratefully, "thank you for your tissue, sir..."


    "Lois." Kent interrupted her.


    Now Lois was sure that the man in front of her knew her!


    "Don''t you recognize me? How forgetful a person is! " Kent took off his gold frame sses and said


    with a little regret.


    Lois looked at the man in front of her, but her mind was in a mess. She didn''t know him, but she felt


    familiar, or did she just forget the person she knew?


    "I still remember that you were confessed at a basketball match when you were a freshman."


    A low voice rang in her ear. She was shocked to realize that the two were too close. When she was


    about to step back, she was hugged by Kent.


    "Do you still remember the ce you went when you were at Grade Two?"


    Kent''s voice trembled. He had liked her from the very beginning, but he had lost the opportunity


    because of his young tenderness. Both his father and brother thought that he could achieve great


    sess in a steady manner, but he knew that he only took the opportunity to make a move, while love


    did not have the opportunity. Only he seized the opportunity.


    "When you joined the club, you didn''t even know the basic knowledge."


    When Lois was about to struggle, the first person in her life that made her feel ashamed of herself


    appeared in her mind.


    Kent Wu!


    "My father''s surname is Wu, and my mother''s surname is Kent, so my name is Kent Wu."


    The simple but nerd''s words made Lois introduce herself with a sneer, "Lois Shen."


    She had never lost to anyone since she was a child, except that senior, who was inferior to him in both


    calligraphy and piano


    "Mr. President..."Said Lois in a trembling voice.


    "It''s been a long time since west met. You look much more dejected," Kent said slowly


    Shen Lois rubbed her nose and shook her head in tears, "people will change."


    Kent forced a smile and said, "didn''t you say that you would be optimistic about life?"


    Fortunately, Lois lowered her head and didn''t notice his embarrassment.


    Joey looked coldly at the two people who had just hugged each other in the parking lot. The corners of


    his eyes were filled with endless anger. His fingers were clenched into fists, and he wished he could go


    downstairs and teach the shameless couple a lesson right away!


    She began to seduce men when he was away? He was blind to believe that woman had endured his


    coldness for Maggie for so many years!


    The Secretary quietly walked up to Joey and handed the document to him. "President Zhao sent


    something here... "


    "p!"


    "Get out!" Joey pped the folder away.


    The Secretary rushed out of the office in panic, not even putting away the documents scattered on the


    ground.

 Chapter 14 A Princess Forever

    Chapter 14 A Princess Forever


    Shaking her head, Lois took the opportunity to shed tears, "Mr. President, No, Mr. Kent. I have


    something else to do. Excuse me. "


    Lois turned around and walked to her car, followed by Kent Wu in a hurry.


    Kent cursed himself in his mind. Thinking of what had happened just now, he was even more


    depressed. Although he really felt sorry for her, he undoubtedly stepped on her sore spot. He quickly


    stepped forward, grabbed Lois and pressed her hand on the door. "Lois!"


    Looking at her red eyes, Kent was a little stunned. Time had changed. It was in the past, and now it


    was. She used to be the campus Belle admired by thousands of people, but because she was


    infatuated with Joey, she had gone all out


    She used to be a princess in the school, but now she had be so haggard.


    She had suffered a lot in the past five years! Did Joey treat her badly! How could she be so


    decadent!


    Kent swallowed the question in his mouth and sighed, "you''re the first person I''ve met after I came


    back from abroad. Don''t you invite me to dinner?"


    After a pause, Lois said, "Mr. Kent, I have something else to do. "


    "Let''s walk around together." Before she could say anything, Kent bypassed the car and sat on the


    passenger seat.


    Suppressing her tiredness, Lois got into the car together.


    The two remained silent all the way. Lois drove to a dessert shop. Kent considerately ordered a cup of


    ice coco and a piece of Schwarzw?lder Kirschtorte for her.


    He smiled gently and said, "you used to like these the most, but you were afraid of getting fat. Now you


    are thin like this, so you won''t get too fat even if you eat more


    Just like the interaction between schoolmates in the past, he would always ask someone to bring her


    what she liked, chew those caring words to her secretly and swallow them


    Looking at the Schwarzw?lder Kirschtorte andtte in front of Kent, Lois suddenly felt warm.


    "Thank you." She said in a low voice and began to taste the delicious food in front of her.


    The rtionship between the two was closer because of a cup of coke. Lois began to talk with Kent


    with a smile which hadn''t shown for a long time.


    The two of them had only talked about the topic of the University for two hours. Lois yawned and raised


    her hand. "It''s almost eleven o''clock!"


    Kent put down the fork in his hand and said, "let''s go to eat something. I was a little tired after the flight


    last night."


    Lois nodded in agreement, thinking that she hadn''t slept all night.


    The two of them went to a western restaurant. Kent ordered two filet Mignons. Lois smiled, she picked


    up a fork and began to eat.


    Kent ordered a bottle of red wine and the two chatted while eating.


    Different from the topic at the beginning, when Kent talked about his life abroad, his tone was soft and


    with a little sense of humor. The two of them wereughing.


    Listening to her with a smile, Lois swept away her previous tiredness and looked much better.


    Kent felt that he was stupid at that time. Lois was easy to get along with. Although she didn''t like to


    interact with others, she never looked down upon others.


    If he had ignored her persistence in Joey and told her his feelings for her, he probably wouldn''t have


    ended up like this.


    But there was no ''if'' in the world. When he knew from others that Lois liked Joey, he was so angry that


    he threw the love letter written to her into the trash can and began to hide from her. He thought he


    would forget it if he didn''t look at her.


    But it won''t. God has set a rope for you. Unless you untie it, it will always bind you. Lois was the rope.


    He silently cared about her for three years behind her back, and then went abroad, hoping to forget her.


    However, time did not dilute everything. Instead, he missed her more.


    When he heard that she was not living a good life, he would be helpless and sad, but there was nothing


    he could do.


    He had known that Joey was not a good husband for a long time. He knew all these magazines and


    reports about love affairs and female stars. He paid close attention to them.


    Lois didn''t live a good life. On the one hand, he hated Joey very much in his heart, and on the other


    hand, he was silently grateful to him. He hoped that Lois would think of his good because of Joey''s bad


    behave.


    The reality was ridiculous. He left his work behind and came back in a hurry after he heard that she


    was going to divorce. He wanted to be her solid support and let Joey know that she couldn''t be


    humiliated at will. He had made up his mind to protect her to the end this time and would never shrink


    back because of her love!


    But Lois didn''t remember him. The strange eyes and careful probing were imprinted in his mind.


    After five years of training, a lively girl with a little arrogance turned into a gentle and elegant woman.


    She had tolerance, calmness, but less arrogance as she raised her chin


    The girl he had been thinking about had changedIt seemed that he knew her but didn''t know her. He


    felt a dull pain in his heart, but he had to pretend to smile and talk with her about the funny things that


    had happened for many years, bitter and slightly sweet.


    "All these years, How are you doing? "


    It was rare for Lois to have dinner with a leisurely mood. Everything that she had thrown away or


    escaped from was back to her mind because of the question from Kent.


    The rxed and cozy smile at the corners of Lois''s mouth became heavy. She pursed her lips and


    lowered her head slightly. She only said, "I''m fine..."


    Kent came to his senses and wanted to swallow his words. If she lived well, how could hee back!


    "Anyway You''d better take good care of yourself. " Kentforted.


    Replied Lois in a low voice and continued to eat with her head down.


    Seeing that Lois didn''t want to say anything more, Kent became silent.


    The only sound left between the two was the asional touch of the fork and the te, and there was


    no other interaction or conversation.


    Lois didn''t want to talk more, just because she remembered that she had loved Joey on her own


    wishful thinking. Regardless of the dissuasion of the people around her, she resolutely agreed to Mr.


    Gu''s n and married Joey without hesitation.


    She recalled the pain she suffered when she was pregnant. At that time, Joey was very cold to her.


    She thought that when the baby was born, Joey would definitely like it very much. Even if she didn''t like


    her, she would love his own flesh and blood more.


    Later, when Maggie was born, Joey didn''t pay any attention to her. He only treated that house as a


    hotel and a restaurant. He didn''t pay much attention to Maggie and was even colder to her.


    She still remembered that when Joey looked at Maggie asionally, his eyes were cold and disgusted.


    At that time, she only had no idea and fear. She was at a loss for the future, and she was afraid that


    Maggie would gradually grow up


    She began to hide herself from Joey. She stayed far away from him every day except for sleeping in


    the same room at night. She was afraid that Maggie would see that kind of eyes. She was still so young


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Perhaps it was because Joey thought that she was sensible, or perhaps she felt pity for Maggie that


    she was too young. Later, he was just indifferent, and there was no longer disgust in his eyes


    She had thought that God would bless her and that Joey would love their child sooner orter, but she


    had underestimated the status of Sally.


    She should have known that she was the woman in Joey''s heart

 Chapter 15 Goddess Level Figure

    Chapter 15 Goddess Level Figure


    When Maggie was two years old, she identally broke Joey''s watch. Joey was furious. He didn''t do


    anything, but Maggie was so scared that she had a high fever in the middle of the night.


    She stayed in the hospital for seven days and nights, and even the people in the old house were


    rmed. As she carried Maggie home tiredly, but he said coldly, "where have you been with the child?"


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    She held the baby in her arms stiffly and went upstairs, like a walking dead


    After that, she didn''t expect anything more. She just wanted her child to grow up well. There were more


    and more rumors about Joey. She endured all the unfairness of this marriage, and she had no


    comints about his coldness and rudeness. As long as the child was not hurt, she was willing to bear


    everything.


    But then Sally came back. she was extremely afraid. She was afraid that Joey would show such


    disgusting eyes again and that he would hurt Maggie. She knew that the child was the only connection


    between her and Joey. If she lost the child, the two of them would be like passers-by.


    So she took the initiative to ask for a divorce, so that he didn''t have to be embarrassed, and the people


    in Gu Family''s old house would not say anything. She left with the child, so that Sally and Joey could


    go out together with the two of them aboveboard.


    In this way, she and Maggie wouldn''t have to be looked down upon by Joey anymore.


    It was a good idea, but she had overestimated herself and underestimated Joey''s feelings for Sally.


    Joey didn''t want to let her go at all. SH even used her child to humiliate her, regardless that Maggie


    was his biological daughter.


    Lois lowered her eyes. She didn''t care about anything else. As long as Joey was willing to give her the


    baby, she could bear whatever he did.


    The lunch ended in silence. Lois took the card to pay the bill, but was told by the waiter with a smile,


    "your bill has been paid."


    When Lois was confused, Kent had walked to the front desk and asked, "what''s up?"


    Lois was confused. Kent had never left the table when they were having dinner. Then who paid the bill?


    Shaking her head, Lois said, "the receptionist said that someone had paid the bill."


    She put the bank card into her wallet and looked up, only to see Sally and a middle-aged couple


    coming out of the box.


    The two eyes met. Suddenly, Lois realized that it was Sally who paid for her.


    Sally put down her hand which was holding the middle-aged woman''s arm and walked towards her,


    wriggling her waist.


    She talked to Lois with a smile, "Miss Shen, you deserve to be a goddess. Even if you have broken up


    with Joey, there are still people around you who care about you."


    Ignoring the mockery in her tone, Lois put her wallet into her handbag and said, "I would like to pay you


    back next time."


    Ignoring the unwillingness on Lois''s face, Sally looked up at Kent beside her.


    His gentle smile and elegant temperament were no less attractive than Joey''s.


    Sally didn''t show it on her face, but her heart was filled with jealousy. Why could Lois be so lucky to


    marry Joey? It was not easy for her to stir up the gap between them, and she hadn''t appreciated her


    miserable situation enough. How could she get on another boat so soon!


    Thinking of this, Sally smiled and said, "no, thanks. It''s both Joey''s money. No, Miss Shen is probably


    using this gentleman''s money now... "


    Before Sally could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kent. He said in a low and gentle voice,


    "Miss, you have to insult yourself, and then others will insult you. The old saying tells us that people will


    only be looked down upon by themselves as she look down upon herself."


    Sally''s face turned pale and then flushed.


    All the guests around looked at them. Lois pursed his lips and lowered her head in silence. Kent held


    his briefcase gently but solemnly, while Sally red at Lois with a red face.


    After a short while, Sally''s face turned better. She smiled and said, "yes, our ancestors told us to be


    polite, but Miss Shen and Joey haven''t got married yet, but she dated with a man she is not familiar


    with..."


    "Lois and I are schoolmates."


    Sally held back her words again.


    Even the mild Kent was angry. He was now resisting Sally, as if they were going to fight against each


    other.


    Lois was both grateful and frustrated to Kent. Except for Tania, it was the first time that someone had


    stood by her side without flinching when she was divorcing Joey. But, It would be more difficult for her


    daughter toe back to her


    "It''s the first time that I''ve seen a thief. How can you be so aboveboard?" Sally looked at Lois with


    disdain. She was just a bitch hiding behind a man!


    Lois was driven mad by her, but she grabbed Kent''s arm. Even if she swallowed the fly today, she


    couldn''t say anything more. If Sally really made things likest time, she didn''t know how Joey would


    abuse the child.


    Sally''s mother walked to Sally arrogantly and looked at Lois who was trying hard to swallow insult and


    humiliation. The disgust in her eyes was mercilessly thrown to Kent and Lois. "Sally, don''t contact with


    those bad people in the future. It will ruin your reputation."


    Blue veins protruded on Lois''s hand which was catching Kent, which showed how much strength she


    had used.


    Seeing that Sally didn''t say anything, her father didn''t give her any chance to say anything more. He


    took her and her daughter and left in a hurry. The people in the restaurant were not children. They


    wouldn''t think that the one who won was a good person. It was better to leave as soon as possible.


    After the three of Sally them left, Lois loosened her grip on Kent''s hand. She turned around and left the


    restaurant, followed by him.


    Expressionlessly, Lois escorted Kent back to the hotel. She drove back to thepany. She fixed the


    work like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, then she called Joey.


    A slightly impatient voice sounded in her ears. which made Lois recall the days when she just married


    him. Although she was not happy, it did not seem to be so difficult. But now she was not as enthusiastic


    as before, and everything became so difficult for her


    "Joey Gu..."


    She called his name softly. She couldn''t figure out what was wrong with her. At first, she thought this


    name was pleasant to hear.


    At the age of twenty to twenty-five, she seemed to have changed from a sunny girl to a wooden old


    lady. She became weak and lifeless, experiencing all the process of living water turning into a pool of


    stagnant water.


    Lois stood in front of the French window of the office with her phone in her hand. The sunshine was just


    right outside, but her heart was deste.


    "Go ahead."


    On the other end of the phone came the voice of Joey, which seemed not as cold as usual. Lois smiled


    bitterly in her heart. Was it her illusion?


    "Except letting me die. I promise you everything. " She had alwayspromised when she met with


    Joey. However, it was about Maggie, and she had no way back.


    Unexpectedly, the man didn''t get angry but kept silent.


    Joey didn''t say anything. He knew that Lois was ready to break up with him.

 Chapter 16 Humbleness Lois

    Chapter 16 Humbleness Lois


    In the past, she was as cold as a stranger to him because he didn''t like Maggie. Even the intimacy


    between the two people was forced by him. Later, because Maggie broke his watch, he only said a few


    harsh words to her. She had packed up and ran away from home and take her child with her for a


    week. She even ignored him when he took the initiative to talk to her.


    He had thought that it was her who was losing her temper in the divorce, but he had always told himself


    that she was losing her temper. No one knew better than him that she would never make a big deal out


    of nothing.


    The divorce of Gu Family was widely spread, and his mother once called him to the old house to scold


    him face to face. It was rare that his father took the initiative to stand beside his mother and said that


    he had done something wrong.


    It was well-known that she had a good temper in Gu Family. Even his good friend said that a man with


    a cold face like him couldn''t keep a woman. But he knew that Lois wouldn''t leave him. She had been


    wronged day and night for many years, but she would get into his arms after crying. How could she be


    willing to leave him!


    The past joke turned to be true. Lois really wanted to leave him. Even now, he didn''t know where he


    had annoyed her.


    Joey thought of that night they got married again. She whispered in his ear every night, "Joey, I love


    you..."


    The soft voice was full of affection. He did not fall asleep, but unexpectedly he did not interrupt her.


    Later, they got Maggie, she had to take care of her child and became busy. She could only asionally


    send lunch to thepany. Although he was dissatisfied, he still felt that being loved was a kind of


    happiness.


    While enjoying the happiness that Lois gave him, he felt awkward and didn''t want to look at her. After


    all, it was because of his engagement with Lois that Sally left for abroad. He couldn''t ignore the hurt to


    Sally.


    The two of them had their own thoughts. They kept silent, leaving only the sound of breath between


    each other.


    The words of apology were on his lips. He knew that as long as he put down his attitude and let her


    forgive him, she would not leave him.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "No way." He closed his eyes. For the first time, he felt that his duplicity was an obstacle to


    communication between a couple.


    "Joey Gu! I hate you! I hate you! "


    A hysterical voice came through, and her heart was trembling because of fear and pain. She hated him.


    Did she change from love him to hate him?


    With tears all over her face, Lois cursed, "I won''t give up! Joey Gu! The worst result is to kill us all! "


    The tall man lowered his head slightly, and some water fell from his face. Before the woman''s voice on


    the other side of the phone stopped, his ears were buzzing, and he could no longer hear anything


    All of a sudden, Lois felt dizzy. The phone in her hand fell to the ground, and her arms that were


    holding the table lost their strength


    The Secretary, who had been paying attention to the movements in the office, pushed the door open in


    a hurry and called someone to send Lois to the hospital.


    When Lois woke up again, she was already in the hospital. Tania was talking to a nurse. Lois closed


    her eyes and continued to take a nap.


    Tania took her wallet to pay the bill. Before leaving, she took a look at the sleeping Lois through the


    window and closed the door without hesitation.


    Joey came in a hurry. After asking the receptionist about the ward number, he came here without


    hesitation.


    Thinking of what Lois said before she fainted, he slowly put down his hand that was about to open the


    door.


    The noise of hera was transmitted to his ears through the mobile phone. He didn''t want to hear it


    again. How could hear her hysterical curse a second ago, but the next second, he even asked others to


    state whether she was alive or dead.


    It was the first time that he lost his cool and kept calling her name.


    Lois, Lois, he had never called her so intimately, even in the dead of night.


    Finally, a secretary picked up the phone and told him that she fainted and was sent to XX hospital.


    Looking at the absent-minded look on Joey''s face, Tania smiledcently. It seemed that even the


    future head of Gu Family was not scared to death!


    Joey hesitated for a moment outside the ward and pushed the door in. Lois thought it was Tania. When


    she opened her eyes and wanted to ask about her condition, she saw Joey standing in front of the door


    with a straight face. Obviously, Lois had no desire to talk to him. She just looked out of the window and


    sat there nkly.


    When Tania strode over in her high heels, Joey was sitting beside the bed in silence.


    Tania kicked the door open and stepped on her twelve centimeter high heels. Before Lois could react,


    Tania cursed, "Joey Gu! How dare youe here! You made her in hospital. Do youe here to


    Joey frowned and ignored Tania.


    "Do you think I can do nothing if you don''t speak?" Pointing at the door, Tania said, "you are not


    wee here! Get out! "


    Tania thought that Lois worked hard because she missed her child and fainted. It was not until the staff


    who sent Lois to the hospital told her that she knew it was because him who called Lois. She couldn''t


    think of anyone else except for the phone call with Joey!


    "The ward needs to be quiet. You are the one who should go out." Joey didn''t want to say anything


    more and drove her away.


    Tania felt a sharp pain in her lungs. She looked at Lois and said, "Lois! Have you forgotten how he


    humiliated you with that woman? "


    Joey turned to look at Lois. She still looked out of the window with her face sideways, but her chin was


    stained with a few drops of water.


    "You can leave now."


    Her voice was weak, as if she had used up all her strength to curse and curse on the phone.


    Joey was still sitting on the side of the bed. From his angle, he could only see Lois''s white and smooth


    chin and her earrings. Her haggard appearance in the morning was partly hidden and partly visible in


    his mind, but he could not forget it.


    That Lois turned her head sideways and refused to look at him made him feel depressed.


    He thought that even if she cursed him hysterically like what she did on the phone, he would not retort.


    Her silence would only increase his guilt.


    He knew that it was not only the fault of the two people. He was also responsible for Lois''s sudden


    disobedience, but he couldn''t ask her if she didn''t say anything. He could only wait until she recovered.


    "Take care of yourself." After saying that, he stood up and left.


    Lois had stayed in the hospital for two days. She felt that everything was normal if she ignored Tania''s


    unhappy face when she mentioned Joey.


    She was told by the doctor that she was too weak to be nervous and excited.


    Lois wanted to go home to have a rest, but was refused by Tania. She said that she could have a good


    rest in the hospital and let her rest assured about everything in thepany.


    When Lois woke up again, she rubbed her temples and felt dizzy.


    For the first time in the past twenty years, she pulled out the needle, changed her clothes and left the


    hospital.


    Lois took a taxi to the kindergarten where Maggie was in. It was the break time. Looking at the children


    who were ying happily, Lois smiled slightly.

 Chapter 17 Heartbroken

    Chapter 17 Heartbroken


    When Lois vaguely saw Maggie ying there, she instinctively wanted to take a step closer, but was


    stopped by the guards.


    "That''s my daughter. I want to have a look at her," she suppressed the bitterness in her eyes and said,


    "I just want to have a look. Please."


    The guard frowned and said impolitely, "I''m sorry. We can''t get in and out freely."


    Lois was stunned. It was her who came to pick up the children everyday before. Perhaps she had


    annoyed Joey, so these people had been instructed by Joey


    Unwilling to give up, Lois said, "the child was sick some time ago. I will only take a look at her from a


    distance and see if she health, then I will leave."


    "There are no sick child here. They are all very healthy!"


    "But..."


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Please don''t disturb our work! Please leave now! "


    The man said "please", but he began to pull Lois''s arm. He frowned slightly and did not have much


    patience.


    Maggie, who wasughing with her ymates, suddenly turned to look at the gate of the kindergarten.


    It seemed that she had a telepathy. She stood up and ran to the ce where Lois was standing just


    now.


    Looking at the figure, Lois covered her mouth tightly and didn''t dare to make a sound. The security


    guard''s voice was still in her ear, "Miss, I do understand your feelings now, but do you know the result


    after talking with the child? They won''t do anything to you, but the child doesn''t have the ability to


    protect herself!


    She could only hold back her tears and look at her child from the corner of the wall, but she did not


    dare to go forward. She could not guarantee the safety of her child, so she did not dare to move.


    It seemed that everyone knew that Maggie was her weakness. They all threatened her with Maggie.


    The teacher of the kindergarten walked quickly to Maggie and patted her on the shoulder with a smile.


    She lowered her head and said something to the little girl. Maggie pursed her lips and looked at the


    wall under the tree. She nodded and followed the teacher away.


    Seeing that Maggie was taken away by the teacher, Lois walked out from behind the wall. Seeing that


    the little pink girl gradually faded out of sight, Lois lowered her head helplessly.


    Lois looked at the children who were still ying in the kindergarten, heartbroken but without her


    daughter, she chuckled. As expected, Joey was cold-blooded enough.


    "Miss Shen, you''d better leave now. It''s not good for anyone to make a scene..."


    Driven far away, Lois looked at the children who were still ying happily in the kindergarten from a


    distance. In the reflection of the tree, she seemed to see the looming pink figure again.


    She remembered what Joey once said, "Maggie has almost forgotten you.".


    "Maggie almost forgot me..."Lois''s eyes were moist and her pale lips were pale and pitiful.


    She looked down at the road under her feet. Without Maggie, how could she go on?


    If Joey didn''t torture her, what would he do to her child?


    At a loss, Lois walked on the road like a puppet.


    People walked through the street in a hurry, causing a wave of heat, but she was shivering like living in


    the North Pole.


    Lois walked slowly, as if no matter how hot the temperature was, it would not warm up her walking ice.


    Joey wouldn''t give her the custody of Maggie so easily. She didn''t even know whether he was going to


    give it to her or continue to make things difficult for her.


    If Joey just wanted to make things difficult for her, how could he let her go? She knew nothing.


    Lois tried hard to search for all the seemingly feasible methods.


    There was a way to divorce. As long as the couple was sent to the court, they could break up. But she


    knew that Joey had ten thousand ways to refuse the court''s judgment, and there were also some ways


    to make her withdraw thewsuit. She didn''t dare to bet. She bet on Maggie which she couldn''t afford


    it.


    If a couple had been separated for three years, they could have negotiated a divorce. But now she


    couldn''t see the child at all. If they hadn''t seen each other for three years, Maggie would definitely


    forget her. Then the court would not give the child to her.


    No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t figure it out. But the thought that Maggie would follow Joey


    made her shiver all over. The disgusting eyes of him were still in her mind.


    As an adult, she wanted to avoid eye contact, but let a child bear it. She couldn''t imagine, nor could


    she give up fighting. Giving up was equivalent to giving up the whole life of Maggie.


    Joey wouldn''t let Maggie have a good time. He loved Sally very much. If Sally married into the Gu


    Family, ording to Sally''s scheming and tolerance, Maggie would be tens of thousands of times more


    miserable than Cindere!


    Lois slightly raised her head and squinted at the sun. It was dazzling and warm. No matter how cold


    her heart was, she could not escape from her physiological instinct. The sweat on her forehead fell


    down along her temples and dropped on the ground, instantly evaporated.


    She closed her eyes gradually and didn''t open them until she felt dizzy. The passers-by pointed at her


    from time to time but didn''t let her look sideways. She slowly raised her legs and left the ce.


    Lois walked aimlessly and finally returned to the hospital when the sun was setting.


    As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Tania, who looked flustered, walk quickly over. "Oh my


    God, where on earth have you been?"


    Lois opened his mouth, lowered his head and said nothing.


    "You''re still a kid. You can y and disappear without saying anything!"


    Lois pressed his lips and kept silent.


    "You didn''t even take your phone. Where can I find you if something happens to you?"


    The sound of anxiety could be heard continuously. Lois lowered her head in shame. She was also


    capricious, making people who cared about her anxious like ants in a hot pot.


    "Tell me! Where have you been? " Tania frowned and red at Lois.


    Seeing that Tania wouldn''t give up until she made it clear, Lois pursed her lips and mumbled, "I just


    want to see Maggie..."


    Tania''s anger seemed to have been poured down, and she suddenly lost her sternness. She helplessly


    red at Lois, "tell me, will I not let you go!


    Depressed, Lois lowered her eyelids, walked past Tania and went to bed. Maggie''s figure seemed to be


    jumping in front of her, and her silveryughter was still ringing in her ears


    When Tania was about to say more, she saw the sweat on Lois''s face and her pale lips. She was angry


    and distressed. She wanted tofort Lois, but then saw her lying on the bed and curling up with her


    eyes closed.


    Pursing her lips, Tania stamped her feet and her eyes turned red. "You haven''t fully recovered yet. You


    need to cooperate with the doctor''s treatment."


    Judging from the expression on Lois''s face, she knew that she must have been stimted and hadn''t


    seen Maggie.


    She didn''t really support Lois to fight for custody with Joey. A woman, especially a divorced woman,


    would be alienated wherever she went with her child. Even if she put aside worldly prejudice, it would


    inevitably affect her future life.


    In Tania''s eyes, Lois should have asked for a divorce directly. She shouldn''t care about her child or


    property. Nowadays, it wouldn''t affect the rest of her life if she didn''t give up all her property. Anyway,


    Lois had the ability to support herself for the rest of her life.

 Chapter 18 Throw her Out

    Chapter 18 Throw her Out


    Tania knew clearly that there was no need for Lois to worry about Maggie living in Gu Family at all. No


    matter how cruel Joey was, he would not leave his child behind. Half-blood of the children was from


    Lois and the other half was from Joey. There was no reason for them that a child would be abused by


    her step-mother in such family. Gu Family would never allow such a scandal to happen.


    To say the least, although Joey loved beautiful people and didn''t love children, Sally couldn''t fool Mr.


    Gu and his wife casually. At that time, they would take Maggie to Gu Family''s old house and raise her


    up with the two of them. The child couldn''t be more aggrieved than being with his mother, Lois!


    But she couldn''t say these words. In the past five years, only Maggie had lived in Lois''s life. If she said


    these words, Lois would lose the courage to live on.


    Tania knew very well that Lois couldn''t lose Maggie at the same time as she lost Joey. It was more


    urate to say that she wanted to escape from reality and take away Maggie, who was the only


    connection between her and Joey, to live in illusions and memories than topletely disappoint at


    Joey by giving up this marriage.


    "Lois..." Tania hesitated and looked at Lois worriedly.


    On the bed, Lois held herself tightly in her arms. She was exhausted, but she couldn''t rx. She just


    liked suffering from delusion, feeling that everything around her was dangerous. She didn''t dare to


    rx her vignce, fearing that the sudden danger would kill her.


    All she could think about was the shadow of Maggie. Her every move and smile, from learning to care


    about people, from sweet memories to ayer of sadness. Lois hugged herself more tightly, as if


    Maggie was in her arms.


    In the end, sadness could not be resisted by exhaustion. Her deeper breath slowly slowed down, and


    finally turned into low sobs and choked dreams


    Tania turned her face away and cursed in a low voice with red rims of eyes. She was afraid that Lois


    would be trapped in nightmares and wanted to wake her up. But when she saw her pale and haggard


    face, it was obvious that she wasck of energy.


    Tania measured whether Lois needed more rest or was hurt by the nightmare.


    In the end, Tania gave up waking Lois up. Of course, she knew that Lois just wanted to see the child.


    As long as she saw Maggie, she would be much better.


    But Gu Family wouldn''t give her the child. Even if Joey agreed, Joey''s parents and elders might not


    agree.


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "Maggie..." Lois sobbed in a low voice. Tania clenched her fists, trying to weigh the pros and cons.


    Finally, she had the upper hand in love. She turned around and left the ward. She told the nurse to pay


    more attention to Lois and drove away from the hospital.


    Tania went to thew office and found someone to draw up a divorce agreement. The only difference


    between the divorce agreement and Lois''s was that Lois would not keep any property, and the child


    would be left to Joey to raise.


    Tania drove to the gate of Gu Consortium''s building. The Maserati was parked at the gate of Gu


    Consortium''s hall. Thepany security came downstairs in a hurry and greeted, "Miss, your car can''t


    be parked here..."


    "Fuck off!"


    With the ck briefcase in her hand, Tania shook off the security guard''s hand, turned around and


    stepped on the steps.


    When the receptionist saw Tania, she also stepped forward and stopped her, "Miss, do you have an


    appointment?"


    "Your boss''s wife is dying. What kind of appointment do you want?" Tania pushed the receptionist aside


    rudely and entered the elevator.


    Joey looked at the patient information on the table. He always knew that he was not a qualified


    husband, but he did not expect that he would make the person who married him so painful.


    Anxiety, depression, fear and other mental diseases caused by long-term depression


    He couldn''t extricate himself from the tenderness and love he had experienced in the past five years.


    He thought that Lois would understand him, but he didn''t know that as he didn''t respond, the future of


    this marriage would be ruined.


    With the farce of the family, God even yed a big joke on him. Lois''s body had been hollowed out by


    the negative emotions for a long time, and her spirit was almost on the verge of copse.


    He still remembered that the professional doctor told him with the examination report that his wife had


    suffered from anxiety disorder because of long term negative emotions such as depression. Although


    her current situation was not too serious, she still had to be careful. If it was more serious, it would


    even lead to depression, and the patient would even have the thought of suicide.


    Joey''s hands, which were holding the detailed information, trembled slightly. She might want tomit


    suicide. How could her body be overdraft like this!


    Joey closed his eyes slightly. Guilt and heartache finally spread endlessly. His Obsidian like eyes


    revealed a little pity. He was even thinking that he should give in and let her go back Gu Family.


    Although he can''t take care of her, she will be much better with thepany of her child... ''


    "Bang!"


    The door of the office was kicked open violently. Joey closed the folder in her hand and looked up, only


    to see Taniaing in aggressively.


    The Secretary behind her looked at Joey in bewilderment. Her sry was almost deducted this month


    Looking at the helpless little secretary, [Joey said coldly, "don''t you know that anyone can''t enter or


    leave the office without my permission?"


    "But this..."


    "That''s your business!" Joey interrupted the Secretary, "get out!"


    The Secretary nodded, walked out of the office and closed the door considerately.


    Tania sneered. If he wanted to punish others as a warning to her, he had to see whether she would


    ept it or not!


    "Joey Gu, you have to pay others back even if youe out to mess around. Don''t be too cruel!"


    Joey frowned, threw the blue case folder aside, picked up a contract on the table and opened it.


    Tania snorted coldly, "don''t think you can escape without saying anything. She is not as easy to deal


    with as Lois!


    Tania took out a stack of A4 paper from her ck file bag and said, "I''ve brought the divorce


    agreement. Please sign it as soon as possible, Mr. Gu. From now on, you and Lois will go back on your


    own. It won''t be dyed for you to marry another woman!"


    Squinting at the divorce agreement on the desk, Joey pounded the pen in his hand heavily on the table,


    trying to suppress her anger. "Miss Tang, I advise you not to meddle in other people''s business!"


    Tania put her hands on the table and looked at Joey. Before she came here, she had made up her


    mind that all her wealth was nothing more than that shabbypany. She could ept whatever Joey


    wanted to do!


    She took out a pen from the pen rack aside and said, "Joey Gu, you just don''t want to let go of the


    child. This agreement says that Lois has given up all her property including the child. If you still have a


    little humanity, sign it!"


    Tania was a little annoyed to see him motionless. She didn''t have so much time to waste with Joey. It


    would be terrible if Lois ran out after she woke up!


    She calmed down and tried to persuade Joey in a euphemistic way, "you can''t do this! Five years ago,


    it was Lois who stuck up with you. She just followed her heart and married the man she liked. Do you


    have to force her to death because she was too young and too thoughtless? "

 Chapter 19 I Want My Mom

    Chapter 19 I Want My Mom


    Hearing Tania''s words, Joey raised her head abruptly. Was he going to force her to death? How could


    he force her to death? How could he want to force her to death!


    He stared at Tania with a straight face and said, "Miss Tang, this is thest time. I won''t embarrass you


    too much for the sake of Lois. Get out! "


    Even Tania was frightened by Joey''s cold ck eyes. She didn''t know which of her words had


    completely pissed Joey off, but she knew that if she continued to say it, she would definitely pay the


    price.


    Tania was a little scared, but when she thought that Lois was calling Maggie in her dream, she was


    unwilling.


    Joey picked up the phone and pressed a button, "drive her out!"


    Before Tania could react, two secretaries pushed the door open and came in. For a moment, she didn''t


    have enough time to think about too much. "Joey Gu, Lois is crying for Maggie in her dream. If you


    don''t want to give the child to her, why don''t you make the decision quickly?"


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "You have lived together for five years. Can''t your heart be made of stone? Lois pulled out the needle


    and ran out of the hospital to see Maggie. She didn''te back until the sun set. Even as a friend, I


    felt sorry for her when she was out of her mind. As a husband, don''t you have any feelings for her? "


    Tania shook off the Secretary''s hand and said angrily.


    It was hard to defeat four hands with two fists. Tania was finally pulled out by two female secretaries,


    but what she said in the end hit heavily on Joey''s heart.


    "Joey Gu, do you know how torturing it is to be sad and disappointed in the past five years?"


    Fuck off!


    Joey swept all the documents and decorations on the desk to the ground, but the usation was still in


    her ears. "Do you know how torturing it is to be sad and disappointed for five years?


    Tania was forced out of Gu Consortium. She turned around and looked at the building of Gu


    Consortium, lowering her head dejectedly. She had always been brave enough to do what she wanted


    to do, but scumbags were scums after all. Whether it was good words or bad words, they could not


    change the scumbag.


    Looking at the mess in the office, Joey couldn''t sit on the chair and drank off the secretary who wanted


    toe in to disturb him. He closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment. Then he stood up and


    took the car key to get out of the office building.


    He drove to the kindergarten. He was so tired these days that he hadn''t paid much attention to his child


    for a long time. Only when something unexpected happened today could Joey get free because of


    trouble.


    Maggie walked out of the kindergarten with her friends. The little girl lowered her head, lost in thought.


    Her friends tried tofort her. It took her a long time to force a smile and wave goodbye to her


    friends.


    Looking at her ymates being taken away by her parents, Maggie felt a little disappointed. Her


    mother hade to pick her up before, but she hadn''t seen her mother for a long time. Thinking of the


    familiar figure in the afternoon during the ss, she pursed her lips. Why didn''t her mother talk to her if


    she came?


    "Maggie..."


    The little girl heard her name and looked up confusedly. Seeing her father''s tall figure, she slowly


    smiled and ran to her father with her little schoolbag on her back.


    Joey also walked towards Maggie. He reached out and picked up the little girl. "Are you happy to see


    your father pick you up?"


    The little girl nodded vigorously. She seemed to be afraid that Joey didn''t understand enough, so she


    said heavily, "yes!"


    Joey looked at Maggie''s bright eyes and smiled gently. He seldom smiled, and the corners of his lips


    were a little stiff.


    Looking at his father''s smile, Maggie kissed his cheek fawningly and called in a delicate voice, "Dad!"


    Looking at the simr eyebrows and eyes of Lois from Maggie, Joey thought of the case and what


    Tania had said. He felt both painful and depressed, as if her heart had been hollowed out. The smile on


    his face slowly disappeared, and he held Maggie back to the car.


    Looking at Joey''s sullen face, Maggie thought he was unhappy because of his intimacy with her. She


    remembered that her mother once said that her father was too tired that he had to work and take care


    of his child, so he seldom took care of her.


    Maggie pouted. Her father didn''t like her even though she didn''t cry. The little girl was aggrieved and


    sad, so she missed her mother more who was patient and loved her.


    Looking at the silent little girl in the passenger seat, Joey casually changed the topic, "what do you


    want to eat, Maggie? I''ll take you to buy it. "


    "Let''s go home. Dad is so busy." The little girl lowered her head and looked listless.


    Seeing that Maggie didn''t want to say anything more, Joey felt indescribable bitterness and heartache.


    At the beginning, he could say that it was Lois who took over the child, but after three months of getting


    along with each other, Maggie often avoided him. He knew clearly who was the problem.


    "Dad wants to take Maggie out this weekend. Does Maggie have any ce to go?"


    Maggie looked up at Joey. Seeing the smile on his face, she put down her guard. After thinking for a


    while, she said, "I want to go to the amusement park!"


    Joey grinned, "Okay, I''ll take you to the amusement park this weekend!"


    Maggie nodded heavily, took off her schoolbag, unzipped it and began to look for something.


    Joey looked at her slightly frowned eyebrows and was about to pat her forehead when Maggie took out


    a small red flower the size of a child''s palm from her schoolbag and handed it to him.


    He took it over and looked at the red flower. It was just a sticker. He knew that it was just amon


    skill for kindergarten teachers to coax children. Children who were well behaved and obedient would


    get it.


    "It''s very beautiful." Joey rubbed Maggie''s head and said with a doting smile, "I''ll put it on the head of


    the bed for you when we get home."


    The little girl''s eyes lit up as he looked at Joey. "Dad! This is the reward from the teacher today! "


    Joey lowered her head and got close to the little girl. He fastened the seat belt for her and pinched her


    nose. "Maggie is awesome! What reward does Maggie want? I will do it! "


    Joey started the car and was about to go to the dessert shop.


    The little girl clenched her fists slightly, with sweat gradually dripping from her palms. She nervously


    looked at Joey who was driving, but she didn''t dare to say her request.


    Joey rubbed Maggie''s forehead from time to time and didn''t think too much when he looked at the little


    girl who was lowering her head.


    Joey parked the car beside the dessert shop and carried Maggie into it.


    He bought Maggie''s favorite desserts and cakes, and returned to the car with the child in one hand and


    the dessert in the other.


    When Joey was about to start the car, he heard Maggie say, "Dad, I don''t like desserts!"


    Joey was stunned and tilted his head slightly to look at Maggie. Although he had been indifferent to


    them, he knew that Maggie liked chocte desserts and Schwarzwald cakes the most. This was what


    the servant had always emphasized, and he could never remember it wrong. There was only one


    possibility: the little girl lied.


    "Candy will make teeth break! I don''t like desserts! "


    As if the usation hit Joey''s heart, he opened his mouth slightly and could not refute, "don''t eat too


    much. It won''t break."


    Maggie couldn''t help crying and begging, "Dad, I don''t want desserts. Can you let me see


    mom?"

 Chapter 20 Mr. Gu Is Not Worth Mentioning

    Chapter 20 Mr. Gu Is Not Worth Mentioning


    Joey looked at Maggie who was crying with her mouth pursed. He turned his head with his eyes


    closed.


    "Daddy, can you let mommye back? I miss mommy so much. I miss mommy so much..."The


    crying little girl pulled Joey''s sleeve and begged sadly, "I will listen to you in the future. I will be great.


    Every time I go to get the little red flower, Dad..."


    The little girl was crying in his ear. She pulled his sleeve hard, and the hot tears fell on the back of his


    hand, which made him feel sorry for him. Joey turned around, lifted the little boy''s arms, put her on his


    legs and patted her gently.


    "DadI will be obedient and sensible. I don''t want to bother dad. I just want mom to be with me... "


    "In the afternoon, I saw my mother during the break. They all lied to me that it was not my mother, but I


    knew it was my mother. I won''t be wrong!"


    Maggie cried in a soft and hoarse voice. Every word she said was clearly in the heart of Joey. Since


    Lois couldn''t see her, Joey knew better than anyone else. At most, it was just a back or a voice, but the


    little girl was so sure.


    Joey took out a piece of tissue and wiped off the tears on Maggie''s face. He pressed her face against


    his chest and rubbed Maggie''s hair with his chin.


    Anyway, she was still a child. Joey looked at the little girl who had fallen asleep. There were still tear


    stains on her face, and her hair was a little messy with tears sticking to her face.


    Joey turned his head to look out of the window. Two couples came in and out of the dessert shop from


    time to time. asionally, a couple went into the dessert shop with their children in their arms. The


    happy look of the couple was enviable.


    Joey carefully put Maggie on the passenger seat, fastened the seat belt and drove away from the milk


    tea shop.


    Thinking of Lois''s health and Maggie''s begging just now, Joey smiled bitterly, "I won''t disturb dad. As


    long as Mom...


    How could an ignorant child say something reliable? But he believed in all her words. It was an ancient


    saying.


    Joey looked around at the busy street. His daughter, who was bleeding, had his shadow in her eyes


    and brows, but he felt that Lois was everywhere. All of these made him want to roar happily, but his


    heart was as painful as a knife.


    The car slowly drove into Gu Family''s house. Joey stopped the car, picked up Maggie from the


    passenger seat and strode into the hall.


    The servant had already prepared the dinner. She walked up to him and asked, "Sir, when will you start


    eating?"


    Joey went upstairs silently with Maggie, ignoring the servant''s question.


    Tania took the dinner back to the hospital. Lois had woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Tania closed the door of the ward and walked to the side of Lois. She put the simple table on the bed


    and put the dinner in the bag on the table. "You''d better cheer up as soon as possible, Joey won''t give


    you the child even you get to be a disabled person."


    Lois didn''t say anything but lowered her head in a daze.


    "I went to meet Joey just now. It seems that he doesn''t intend to let you go. Even if you don''t want the


    child, he won''t let you go."


    Lois looked up in surprise. Tania said expressionlessly, "I can''t help you manage thepany in the


    future. I have offended Joey today. It''s not sure whether I can keep my own business. You''d better run


    yourpany well!"


    Looking at Tania, Lois said guiltily, "Tania, Sorry to bother you. "


    Tania couldn''t bear it and turned her head away. How could Joey be against a woman with his great


    power? She just wanted to cheer up Lois, but she didn''t expect that she would feel so guilty.


    But it didn''t matter whether it was because of guilt or for self-protection, as long as Lois didn''t continue


    to be decadent like this, she would achieve her goal.


    Tania sighed and persuaded Lois, "anyway, I advise you not to fight against Joey directly. Cheer up and


    work hard. You can figure out a way if you can''t see Maggie. But If you get sick, Joey won''t be


    softhearted to let you see Maggie."


    She turned around, paused, and applied a heavy dose of medicine. "There are not many people in the


    world who care about you. But there are many people who want you to die. Don''t forget that there are


    still some people waiting to take the seat of Mrs. Gu of Gu Family, kissing with Joey and even hitting


    your child. "


    Tania started to leave the ward, leaving only Lois in a daze on the bed.


    As expected, Tania didn''t care about the business of Lois''spany anymore. She just brought the


    cooperation cases and various documents of Lois''spany to her every day when she sent food to


    her.


    As expected, Lois, who was entangled with business affairs, had no time to care about spring and


    autumn. She was busy reading documents, dealing with contracts and going to the bathroom all day


    long.


    If Tania couldn''te to the hospital from time to time. It would be Lois''s little secretary who came to


    deliver food to Lois. The little secretary looked at Lois with love and hatred.


    What she loved was that even if Lois was sick and hospitalized, she was still a good boss who didn''t


    forget to make money. Since the business expansionst week, ording to the system of bonus


    announced at the same time, even her sry as a little secretary had doubled.


    What she hated most was that Lois, the head of thepany, didn''t have a good rest even if she was


    in hospital. Instead, Lois not only began to implement the bonus system, but also had to work overtime


    with the business department. She hadn''t had a good dinner with her boyfriend for half a month.


    But when she saw that her boss was weak and had to deal with so many things every day, she felt a


    little distressed. Every time she came to the hospital, she did bring chicken soup to Lois.


    Looking at the files in her hands that seemed to be endless, Lois was a little discouraged. Was it really


    because of her illness? Why did she feel that she always couldn''t finish her work in hands.


    When Tania walked into the ward with dark circles under her eyes, she saw that Lois was reading


    documents. She put the milk tea she brought on the table. Without raising her head, Lois picked up a


    pen, circled the documents and put them aside.


    Noticing the arrival of Tania, Lois exhaled softly and said, "oh my God, I really want to split myself into


    two!"


    Without saying a word, Tania began to read the documents for her. Since she was not familiar with the


    business for a few days, Tania asionally took the documents to ask Lois about the specific matters.


    After dealing with Lois''s documents in a vigorous and resolute manner, Tania stood up smartly, raised


    her eyebrows and looked at Lois with a proud face. "How do you feel? Do you admire me very much?"


    Looking at the bruises in Tania''s eyes, Lois thought that Tania had annoyed Joey, so she said with guilt,


    "Tania, it''s because of me that you have to endure these hardships."


    Tania looked at Lois nkly. She had helped Lois manage thepany for several months, Lois had


    never been polite to her. Now why did she suddenly be so serious? She felt even more confused.


    "It''s just a few documents. What''s wrong with you?"


    Lois looked at Tania with hesitation, "Joey...Didn''t he embarrass you? "


    Tania came back to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing. It''s not a big deal."

 Chapter 21 Ambiguous Relationship

    Chapter 21 Ambiguous Rtionship


    Lois thought that Tania just didn''t want to talk more, so she changed the topic.


    She was worried that she would be busy with thepany''s affairs and kept thinking about what Tania


    had said, "if you can''t see Maggie, you can find a way." she forced herself to cheer up and have a good


    rest. Work was also indispensable.


    Tania sometimes took time out of her busy schedule to deal with documents for Lois and took her out


    for dinner. Lois was very grateful to her.


    What''s more, Tania even sent someone to watch at the gate of the kindergarten and brought back the


    photo of Maggie.


    Looking at the smiling face in the photo, Lois kissed Maggie again and again on the picture. She


    hugged Tania and cried out gratefully.


    With thepany and encouragement of her good friend, Lois gradually got rid of the ill spirit and


    threw away the haze. Although she was still a little weak, her energy and spirit hadpletely


    recovered.


    Tania cast a nce at Kent and blinked her right eye. In the evening, Lois was sitting on the bed and


    reading documents. Suddenly, her phone rang. Lois picked up the phone and frowned at the strange


    number on it.


    The phone kept ringing. With hesitation, Lois answered, "hello."


    "Lois, I''m Kent." The smiling voice of Kent came into Lois''s ears, and her ears turned red in an instant.


    It wasn''t that she hadn''t experienced anything before. Such a smiling voice made her feel that she had


    returned to the age of eighteen. It felt rxed and cozy, but her face was rosy.


    "Senior." Lois came back to her senses and greeted him indifferently.


    Kent''s voice was still cozy, "I''ll treat you to dinner. Do you have time?"


    "Kent, I''m afraid I can''t make it recently." Lois refused sheepishly.


    Kent smiled with regret, "what''s wrong? Are you in trouble? "


    It never urred to Kent that when he nned to leave Lois to calm down, Joey would do so many


    bad things. He took off his sses, pinched between his eyebrows, and looked at the middle-aged man


    beside him.


    "I haven''t been at home for several years. From your point of view, is it possible for Gu Family to let


    people go?"


    The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "now in the eyes of the public, the divorce between


    Joey Gu and his wife is just a farce, and no one cares about it."


    Mr. Gu didn''t say a word. Who would let go of the dispute between the two juniors?


    Kent didn''t give up thest chance. "If they really got divorced..."


    The middle-aged man smiled carelessly and said, "then it will only be Lois Shen who leaves without


    getting anything."


    Tania bought breakfast early in the morning and went to Lois''spany to get the documents and


    relevant documents.


    Lois had been in a good mood these days. In order to let her leave the hospital as soon as possible,


    Tania helped her share more and more documents, which made Lois look better and better, and at the


    same time, she was also moved.


    Lois was very happy. Every time Tania came, she could help her deal with a lot of things, which made


    her much more rxed.


    Seeing that Lois was in high spirits andcent, Tania couldn''t helpughing. "Why are you so


    happy? Why don''t you marry me after divorce?"


    Lois rolled her eyes at her and said, "I can marry you, but I have made up my mind that you will support


    me at that time!"


    The two of themughed and went on with their work.


    More than an hourter, the two finished half of the work. Tania praised herself, "Wow, I am awesome!"


    Tania''s humorous boast made Loisugh.


    The two of them seemed to go back to the time when they started their own business. There was no


    depression and depression in theirughter anymore.


    While they wereughing, someone knocked on the door. The Lois and Tania looked at each other, and


    Tania stood up to open the door.


    Tania was a little surprised to see Kent carrying a fruit basket. She asked in confusion, "who are you


    looking for, sir?"


    "I''m looking for Lois Shen."


    Tania looked at the man in front of her. He had long legs and was tall. He looked very gentle and not


    worse than Joey.


    After looking around, Tania opened the door politely. "Lois, someone ising to see you."


    Kent nodded slightly to show his politeness and entered the door with a basket of fruits and flowers.


    Tania looked at Kent from behind. Yes! Versace leather shoes, Dior suit, as for tieunseen, can not see


    it...


    Tania rolled her eyes gloomily. For the first sight, she only cared about his appearance and didn''t have


    time to check his family background.


    Kent put the flowers and fruit basket on the table, looked at Lois''s slightly pale face and asked with


    concern, "why do you suddenly fall ill? What did the doctor say? "


    Tania''s impression of Kent suddenly soared to seventy points. There were not many good men who


    were gentle and cared about people now. Lois had climbed from a dog''s nest to a grass''s nest!


    Shaking her head, Lois said, "it''s all right now."


    Looking at Tania''s anthomaniac look, Lois said helplessly, "Tania."


    "Okay." Tania replied calmly. Although she was quite satisfied with Kent, as a member of Lois''s family,


    Tania was very high-level.


    Pointing at Kent, Lois introduced, "this is my senior schoolmate in college and the director of Go Club


    in our school. His name is Kent Wu."

    Then she looked at Tania with a slight smile and turned to look at Kent. "This is my best friend, Tania.


    She is very excellent and has already been the boss of a medium-sized enterprise."


    Tania looked at Kent in shock. The general manager of the well-known HN Group in the industry who


    was young, rich and handsome, came to negotiate and cooperate with Gu Consortium on behalf of the


    chairman of HN Group. Was the man in front of her?


    Kent''s Kennel suddenly turned into a silver kennel, and Tania started to show a little admiration for him.


    She took two steps forward and stretched out her left hand. With a reserved smile, she said, "Hello, Mr.


    Kent. I''ve heard a lot about you. It''s better to see you once than hear a hundred times!"


    Kent also reached out his left hand and shook hands with Tania. "They are all exaggerated by the


    industry, Miss Tang is not inferior."


    "Mr. Kent, you are so modest. You are really a virtuous man!" Tania tried to keep calm, but her bright


    eyes betrayed her.


    Looking at the increasingly enthusiastic eyes of Tania, Kent felt a little embarrassed. He nodded and


    said, "I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future!"


    Tania nodded and withdrew her left hand.


    Suddenly, something urred to Kent. Tania looked at him as if mother-inw was looking at her son-


    inw. He remembered that ording to the investigation material, Tania was the elder sister of Lois.


    He was slightly stunned. Was he so obvious?


    Of course, Kent would seize the opportunity. He had a wide range of knowledge. In the past few years,


    he had a wider horizon. With his tall and handsome appearance, gentle smile, and extraordinary


    language, Tania''s impression of him was almost twenty streets higher than that of Joey!


    In particr, Kent''s attitude not only didn''t make people feel that he was yful, but also maintained his


    concern for Lois. But people wouldn''t feel that he was trying to please her in particr.


    Lowering her head, Tania looked up at the two of them from time to time. Kent asked about Lois''s


    mood and condition with concern, andforted her like chatting to relieve boredom. If she could open


    her eyes, everything would turn around.


    Tania nodded secretly. In less than two hours, Tania''s impression of Kent soared to eighty points. After


    all, at that time, Tania''s impression of Joey was only forty points, which was already a high score.

 Chapter 22 Love Is Like Poppy

    Chapter 22 Love Is Like Poppy


    After reading thest document, Tania raised her head and saw that Kent was peeling an orange. Lois


    was still smiling, but her face was a little pale and morbid.


    "I have finished my work today. You two have a good chat. I''m going back to thepany first. " Tania


    picked up her briefcase and was about to leave.


    Hearing that, Lois was stunned. "so fast?"?


    She rolled her eyes in her heart and thought, ''even if she has divorced, she doesn''t think Kent would


    have such an idea, let alone she is a married woman now.''.


    When Tania saw Kent turn around, she smiled sheepishly and said, "I won''t bring lunch for Lois this


    noon. Please help her! Thanks Kent" Then she winked at Lois to let her seize the opportunity.


    Tania turned around and left. She felt that she was just a genius, senior boy and junior girl, What an


    ambiguous rtionship! How easy could it be possible for them to fall in love with each other!


    There was an ambiguous flow in the room all of a sudden. Lois smiled awkwardly and said, "Tania likes


    joking. Just forget it."


    On the contrary, Kent was naturally and honest. "No, I think your friend is quite humorous."


    Lois smiled and the two stopped talking about it.


    Kent casually took the cooperation letter that Tania had handled. After reading it, he looked at Lois and


    sighed with a smile, "it''s a pity for your friend to run a medium-sizedpany. She should expand the


    scale and make it a bigpany."


    Lois looked at Kent in surprise. Barely people wouldment on Tania. Although many people praised


    her for her quick action and good working attitude, Kent was the first one to encourage her to be


    ambitious.


    Kent put down the document and looked at Lois, "Lois, you also think so, right?"


    Lois lowered her head slightly and didn''t say anything.


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Kent picked up the fruit knife and began to peel the apple skin. Seeing the rapidly rotating apple in his


    hand, Lois had a myriad of thoughts.


    It was not until Kent handed the apple to her that Lois gradually came to her senses and took it.


    "I remember that you said you wanted to travel to Chicago when you first joined the club."


    Looking at the apple, Lois''s eyes shed with nostalgia. "Yes." She didn''t expect that Kent still


    remembered such a long time ago.


    "When I was working in the United States, I went to the wind city asionally. It was an economic


    fortress. It was really prosperous and it is also like you. "


    Gorgeous and proud...


    Lois couldn''t helpughing and exined with her eyes bent, "I just haven''t been there, so I feel fresh."


    Kent alsoughed. He had thought that Chicago was special to Lois, so even if he didn''t like it, he


    would go there asionally.


    However, he didn''t expect that Lois just wanted to do as she never been there. He felt a little


    sentimental when he remembered that he wanted to take the ce of her to see the wonders and night


    scenes of the wind city and told her everything when he came back.


    Kent smiled and forgot what he had thought before. He picked up another apple and began to peel it.


    He asked her in reply, "do you know the ce I wanted to go most in college?"


    Lois asked curiously, and Kent continued.


    A small town in Italy, there were happy homeless people on the streets. When they were happy, music


    would ring, and happy dance could be seen everywhere. It was a beautiful ce.


    That was the ce that Kent had always been looking forward to. The people there could always live a


    leisurely life, showing the best side to everyone...


    Lois''s eyes were full of envy. She thought of the wind city and love city, which were the ces she once


    wanted to go. Compared with the small town mentioned by Kent, for some reason, she suddenly felt


    that she was superficial.


    Kent was still talking about the funny things he had happened in the small town, and Lois was also


    fascinated by it


    Near noon, a nurse who had just worked as an intern in the hospital entered the ward. She walked over


    with a medical record and carefully asked Lois about the situation in the morning.


    Kent was sitting at side. The nurse looked up at him from time to time. When she saw his gentle smile,


    she immediately blushed.


    The nurse took out a thermometer from the nurse''s clothes pocket to measure the body temperature of


    Lois. She looked at the beautiful face of Lois, and then looked at the gentle and handsome Kent. She


    secretly praised the two of them for being a perfect couple!


    Lois took out the thermometer and handed it to the nurse. The nurse took it and had a look. When she


    raised her head, she saw the smiling eyes of Kent, and her face, which had just recovered to be fair,


    turned red again. The nurse looked at Lois and said, "Thirty-six point eight degree. Normal! "


    Lois pursed her lips and nodded.


    The nurse put the thermometer in her pocket and left the ward with the case. When she opened the


    door, she turned to look at Kent. Seeing that both Lois and Kent were looking at her, the nurse flushed


    and walked out of the ward and closed the door.


    Finally, Lois couldn''t helpughing out loud, "you are so charming that you can even seduce women


    when youe to the hospital."


    Kent looked embarrassed and kept saying that he was just an ordinary man.


    Lois stopped smiling and asked seriously, "do you have a girlfriend abroad?"


    Kent''s eyes darkened. He shook his head and said, "No."


    "Isn''t there a suitable candidate at home?" Lois was confused. Logically speaking, Kent had made


    great achievements. Even if he didn''t have someone he liked, his family should be anxious?


    Looking at Lois, who didn''t believe what he said, Kent smiled bitterly in his heart. Even Tania could see


    his love for her at a nce, but she didn''t know it at all.


    He couldn''t help thinking of the saying, "lookers on see more than yers.".


    Kent smiled bitterly, "I used to like the right person, butter I missed the good opportunity because I


    was too depressed. The person I liked Married someone else. "


    Lois didn''t expect that Kent would tell her the past love story. She was slightly stunned, and after a long


    time, she came to her senses and sighed, "what a pity..."


    Kent looked up at her and asked, "is it really a pity?"


    Shocked, Lois hurriedly apologized, "I''m sorry. I don''t know. I didn''t mean it. "


    Kent shook his head and said nothing.


    The two of them quickly put down this topic and began to talk about their long lost ssmates, but Kent


    was no longer energetic, and Lois was embarrassed and silent


    "Put aside my current single topic and the news of our former schoolmates," Kent stared at Lois.


    Lois looked at Kent, waiting for him to continue.


    "Lois! What about you? What''s your n? " Kent stared at her, "When I first met you, I knew you were


    an independent and decisive girl, but you married into Gu Family."


    Hearing that, Lois didn''t say a word. Then she heard Kent say, "you are a famous smart person in the


    school, but you have wasted your youth and handed over it to an unworthy person. Lois, I was very


    disappointed at that time, but when I came back and saw you live a bad life, I was even more


    disappointed. "


    Kent thought that Lois would take good care of herself and protect their child in everything, but she


    couldn''t.


    "Lois, you should live for yourself. Is love so important? It makes you stranger and stranger. Do you still


    know about yourself now? Wake up. That''s not love, but obsession! "

 Chapter 23 Intervention And Together

    Chapter 23 Intervention And Together


    Tears streamed down Lois''s face. She covered her face and couldn''t say anything, only sobbing and


    sad.


    Kent took Lois''s hand and sighed with guilt when he saw the red rims of her eyes. He just wanted Lois


    to see clearly what kind of person Joey was, but he failed to control his emotions.


    Although Joey was bad, he was also not much better than him. In order to escape from her choice, he


    had resolutely gone abroad. For so many years, he had never forgotten her. He had not only loved her


    as a drug addict, but also med her for not being able to see people clearly.


    That was human nature. When you were in a bad mood, there would always be potential malice to hurt


    the people around you. But when you saw others crying bitterly with their hands covering their wounds,


    you would inexplicably feel sorry for them. Whether good or bad, they were all human''s shorings.


    Some were heartbroken, while some were happy.


    Sally drove a Porsche to the parking lot of Gu Consortium. The security guard saw the license te


    number clearly, took out a venttor and told the receptionist, "someone has driven the CEO''s car to


    thepany. Get ready to service her."


    Sally got off the car in three inch silver high-heeled shoes. She wore a light green long dress with a


    slim waist, which made her look more tall with high-heeled shoes.


    Sally hung the car key on her handbag, took out the popr sunsses and put them on her nose.


    Then she walked towards Gu Consortium.


    "It''s a woman. I don''t think she is Mrs. Lois." The security guard said to the venttor.


    Sally went straight into the building. The car key on her handbag was unusually eye-catching, but the


    security guard didn''t seem to see it.


    He decided to leave it to the receptionist at this time. It was not fun to block the wrong person.


    The receptionist didn''t care about the way Sally behaved. In the past few years, there had been a lot of


    new lovers of CEO Joey. Every one of them had a happy face at good times, and every one had a cry


    face at bad times!


    The little girl at the front desk greeted Sally gently and fawningly, "Hello, miss."


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Sally nodded slightly and asked, "is Joey here? I''m looking for him. "


    Joey...This was too intimate. They must have a special rtionship!


    The smile on the little girl''s face softened a little. "The president is in a meeting at this time. Miss, do


    you have an appointment?"


    Sally picked up her handbag to show her car key and asked, "does this count?"


    The receptionist''s face froze. The girl next to her smiled and said, "since you know the CEO, why don''t


    you wait in the CEO''s office?"


    Sally smiled with satisfaction and said reserved, "okay!"


    It was not until Sally entered the elevator that the receptionist stuck out her tongue and said, "why is


    she so proud! It''s just a car. Every lover of Mr. Joey used to drive his car! only It''s awesome to hold a


    child like his real wife! "


    "Keep your voice down!" The moreposed girl pushed her.


    Regardless of the receptionist''s attitude, the assistant secretary was shocked when Sally arrived at the


    president''s office. The receptionist didn''t call her, but why did she let this person in?


    Seeing the key on her handbag, she sighed silently. It turned out that Sally came here because of the


    car.


    However, they couldn''t talk about the rtionship between her and the boss casually. The secretary


    ushered Sally into the CEO''s office and told her with a smile, "CEO still has a meetingter. It may


    make Miss Lu wait for a long time."


    Sally was unhappy, but she smiled and said, "I didn''t expect him to be so busy. It doesn''t matter. Just


    wait a little longer."


    "Okay, Miss Lu. What would you like to drink?" The Secretary asked.


    Sally detested this title. Miss Lu, Miss Lu, it seemed that she had nothing to do with Joey!


    But Sally had forgotten that indeed she had nothing to do with Joey. Even if she did, it was only in the


    past.


    Although she was angry, she pretended to be more grateful. "Coffee is good. It''s the kind of coffee that


    Joey likes to drink."


    The secretary left with a smile, leaving Sally alone looking around the office.


    The simple and luxurious decoration made the ck leather sofa for customers to talk. On both sides


    of the sofa, there were two safety trees. In a corner of the office, there were several exuberant wealthy


    bamboos in the potted nts. On the white marble tea table, there was a ck wood tray, on which


    there was a set of purple y teapot, and beside it was a closedptop.


    An assembledputer was ced on an antique golden wood desk. On the back of the desk was a


    light wood bookcase, on which there were many documents and books that were usually read.


    When Sally was looking around the office, the secretary had already brought her coffee. On the


    porcin tray, there was an exquisite white porcin cup, beside which there was a sugar te and a


    ss bowl with ice.


    The secretary put down the coffee and materials on the tray, she said a few polite words, and left the


    office with the tray.


    After the secretary left, Sally picked up her long dress and sat on the ck leather sofa, enjoying the


    afternoon tea.


    In fact, Sally didn''t know that Joey loved bitter coffee very much and never liked cold coffee. He only


    drank mellow coffee. The Secretary knew that no one could adapt to Joey''s preferences, so she added


    sugar, ice cubes and other materials.


    Sally took a book from the bookshelf. While drinking coffee, she was reading a difficult book.


    Although there were many things she didn''t understand in the book, she still enjoyed such a luxurious


    life,zy and cozy, like a cat in the imperial pce. Even if she didn''t pay, she could get a lot.


    After drinking a cup of coffee, she put down the book on herps. She really hated this kind of difficult


    book.


    Putting down the exquisite porcin cup in her hand, she stood up and looked around the office. She


    walked to the door separating the office and the inner room.


    The white door with exquisite patterns was as elegant and noble as Joey. she touched the handle and


    gently pressed it, but frowned.


    She muttered, "there''s nothing I can''t see!"


    When she thought of Lois, Sallyforted herself, ''Joey locked the door because he didn''t want Lois


    to see what was inside.''.


    She smiledcently. After all, Lois failed to be the hostess of Gu Family.


    Sally walked slowly to the desk in her high heels. She sat on the ck leather rotating chair and shook


    her body leisurely. Unintentionally, she saw a pile of A4 paper beside the document.


    Sally controlled the chair and approached the desk. She picked up the stack of documents


    In front of her, Sally smiled happily, "divorce agreement? Joey stick! "


    But as she looked down, Sally''s face became more and more gloomy, and the corners of her lips


    gradually dropped.


    Party A: Lois Shen, Party B: Joey Gu


    So, the divorce was proposed by Lois Shen?


    Sally gritted her teeth and felt a little relieved after reading the content. It was what she wanted that


    Lois would give up all her marital property. Joey didn''t like Lois, but she hated Lois. If it weren''t for the


    intervention of Lois, she and Joey would have been living together for a long time!

    Chapter 24 What About My Wife''s Treatment


    But when she saw thest signature, she was disappointed again. On thest page, there were two


    delicate words "Shen Lois", while Joey''s ce was empty.


    The date was at the beginning of May. It urred to Sally that on the wedding anniversary of Joey and


    Lois, Lois announced their divorce in a high-profile way.


    At first, Sally thought that Lois wanted to threaten Joey with a divorce, or to ask the elders of Gu Family


    to help reconcile the marriage between the two, but she didn''t expect that Lois was serious.


    Then she thought of Joey''s attitude. Why didn''t he sign the divorce agreement?


    Besides, it seemed that Joey had never mentioned to her about Lois''s divorce


    Sally tightened her grip on the agreement. The blue veins in her hands were throbbing. Her ferocious


    expression suddenly softened. Was it because the little bastard? After all, it was Joey''s blood, so he


    must be reluctant to leave her


    Sally''s lips tightened and her eyes narrowed slightly. ''Lois, you''d better take your child away, or I will


    make her life a living hell!''!


    "Who allowed you here?" Joey said coldly.


    Sally was shocked. She was like a thief caught, flustered and guilty.


    Turning his head to look at the Secretary behind him, Joey said, "who allowed her toe in without


    my permission?"


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    The secretary was startled. She cursed in her heart that her staff was so useless, but she still


    responded with an apology.


    Joey stepped forward and squinted at the document in Sally''s hand unhappily.


    Sally shrank her fingers, like a frightened kitten, and gently stood up to exin. But before she could


    say anything, Joey reached out and pulled the agreement in her hand.


    Looking at the crumpled agreement, Sally''s face turned paler. She hated herself for being unable to


    keep calm but crumpled the agreement. But she bit her lower lip, as if she wanted to say something but


    stopped on a second thought.


    Joey looked at her coldly, as if waiting for her exnation.


    Sally nced at the Secretary by the door and lowered her head as if she was too ashamed to face it.


    At the same time, a trace of embarrassment shed across her face.


    If it was in the past, Joey would not me her more when she saw her like this. But to her surprise,


    Joey not only didn''t let his secretary leave, but also tore the divorce agreement into pieces in front of


    her as if he was venting his anger.


    Sally looked at Joey in panic. She didn''t expect that he would make such a strong reaction on his own.


    She felt wronged and said, "Joey, I didn''t mean to do that. I just feel that it''s not worthwhile for you..."


    Seeing the puzzled expression on Joey''s face, Sally pretended to be angry and said, "two days ago, I


    went to the restaurant with my parents, but I saw Lois having dinner with a strange man. They didn''t


    look like a normal couple at all. Instead..."


    As she spoke, Sally pretended to observe Joey''s reaction carefully. Seeing that Joey was still wearing a


    cold face as usual, she gritted her teeth and drugged him. "On the contrary, they seemed very intimate


    to each other, like a couple!"


    Joey still just looked at Sally coldly. The coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze Sally. The anger that


    Sally had pretended to be angry gradually disappeared. She lowered her head slightly and didn''t dare


    to look into Joey''s eyes.


    It seemed that after a long time, Joey finally opened his mouth. "So?"


    Sally was stunned. She looked up at Joey, so? So what?


    She was shocked and exined in a hurry, "so That''s why I couldn''t help myself when I saw the


    agreement... "


    "Then you should be very happy when I tear this agreement apart."


    Sally shook her head slightly. She didn''t expect that Joey wouldn''t leave her any way out and forced


    her step by step.


    "Well, I''m very happy." She adjusted her mood and said, "I think even if you divorce, you should put


    forward the divorce!"


    "Shut up!" Joey red at Sally. He really felt that if Sally was not his first love, he would kick her out of


    the office no matter whether she would be a member of Gu Family in the future!


    With tears in her eyes, Sally looked at Joey with grievance and disbelief.


    Joey swallowed the anger in his mouth and made up an excuse, "I have two cooperation cases to talk


    aboutter. If you don''t have anything else, you can leave first."


    Biting her lips, Sally lowered her head and apologized, "Joey, I didn''t mean to do that. I''m sorry..."


    Sally wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. However, Joey was not in the mood


    to appreciate it. Now, all his attention was on Lois and the strange man mentioned, so he was not in the


    mood to pay attention to Sally at all.


    Noticing the impatience on Joey''s face, Sally decided to leave first. "Then I won''t disturb you. We can


    make an appointment another day."


    Sally bypassed Joey and walked towards the office door. She cursed the Secretary beside the door in


    her heart, because she didn''t even avoid the quarrel. When she became the hostess of Gu


    Consortium, the first thing she did was to kick this ungrateful woman out of Gu Consortium!


    But before she went out, she was stopped by Joey. "Sally, next time. I hope we won''t make an


    appointment at Gu Consortium, which is a rigorous and confidential ce!"


    Sally''s face turned blue and red. She nodded and left quickly.


    "Who allowed her to step into thepany?" Before the Secretary could report the work, she was


    reprimanded by Joey.


    The secretary exined awkwardly, "I followed you during the meeting..."


    Joey kicked away the ck leather chair and said, "who did it? Call him!"


    After a while, the female secretary who brought coffee to Sally came in. The female secretary was


    shocked when she saw the ck leather rotating chair beside the sofa. She hadn''t seen the CEO get


    so angry


    The Secretary flinched and said, "thatdy said she was your friend..."


    Joey hated eloquent subordinates the most. He asked coldly, "is there abel on her forehead?"


    Whatever she said is true? She came in as she said. Lois was not so awesome when she came in!


    The more Joey thought about it, the angrier he became. "My wife didn''t even have such a grand


    asion when she came. Why does she have to be served with coffee?"


    The Secretary gasped, ''The CEO''s wife didn''t want toe up at all. She always just put the heart set


    meal on the front desk and left.''


    But she didn''t dare to say it at all. She said weakly, "thatdy is driving your car..."


    "Can you see the parking lot on the twelve floor?" Joey snorted, "the secretary department is so well-


    informed. I don''t think we need to give out the bonus at the end of this month!"


    The female secretary didn''t dare to answer. How dare she say that? It was thepany''s car lover


    who took photos of the twelve cars of the president in all directions, and even the license te was


    marked into an online magazine.


    All the staff in thepany could be carried down on their backs


    Seeing that the female secretary lowered her head and didn''t say anything, Joey cooled down a little.


    He threw a document out and said, "tell your secretary department to drive this document out today. If


    you don''t, don''t get off work!"


    The Secretary General winked at the female secretary. The little secretary picked up the document


    from the ground and left the CEO''s office in a hurry.

 Chapter 25 Angry Joey

    Chapter 25 Angry Joey


    Joey walked to the ck leather sofa and kicked the ck leather chair away. He remembered that the


    moment he opened the door of the CEO''s office, he got in a rage. With a ferocious expression on her


    face, Sally was challenging his bottom line!


    Sitting on the ck leather sofa and looking at the delicate coffee cup in front of him, Joey was even


    more displeased. He remembered that his mother had always been at odds with his father for so many


    years, which made him very angry. What? That bastard couldn''t help bute to Gu Family for a


    share? No way!


    "Mr. Joey, do you want to tidy up these things?" The Secretary asked cautiously.


    Joey nced at him and said, "do you need to ask me about it?"


    Joey simply picked up the car key and left thepany. Staying there would only remind him of some


    unhappy things, so he might as well leave.


    Joey drove to the hospital. He kept thinking about what Sally had said all the way. He couldn''t imagine


    or believe it.


    Lois was a good mother. Even if he was not a good father, Lois always insisted on being a good


    mother. He and Lois had been married for five years. He knew that Maggie had always been Lois''s


    insistence.


    When Joey arrived at the hospital, he came to Lois''s ward with ease. Through the crack of the door, he


    could see that Lois was talking about the business management mode with Kent, which was the simple


    logic of the operation of a bigpany. He was slightly disdainful.


    When he pushed the door open, the two people who were talking andughing looked at him at the


    same time. Suddenly, Joey felt that he was an outsider who had entered the wrong room.


    He remembered that when Lois came to the parking lot of thepany to ask for a divorce, it was Kent


    who helped her out. It seemed that Lois didn''t know Kent at first.


    Sally mentioned that Lois had dinner with a strange man some time ago. It was that day Lois met Kent


    when she went to beg him.


    Then the time would be right? Did Lois want to thank Kent so that she invited him to dinner?


    No, he clearly remembered that day he saw Kent holding Lois in his arms in the parking lot...


    "Mr. Joey?" Kent smiled. He looked more handsome without sses, but less bookish.


    His thoughts were interrupted, but Joey didn''t intend to think too much. He answered indifferently. He


    walked to the bedside, looked at Lois''s pale face and felt a little distressed. "Are you feeling better?"


    Lois didn''t say anything, but Kent replied, "Mr. Kent, you don''t need to ask."


    Joey was angry, but he didn''t lose her temper because of the asion.


    Joey smiled apologetically and said, "yes, I''ve been too busy in thepany recently, so I neglected


    Lois''s condition. "


    Joey remembered that Tania seemed to call her "Lois in soft tone" when he mentioned herst time, so


    he changed his tone.


    Surprised, Lois raised her eyes. She wanted to touch Joey''s forehead as usual. Was he having a


    fever?


    "Yes, Lois said that Tania often stays with her recently. They have a good rtionship,parable to a


    couple." Kent said slowly.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    A woman''s husband was not as important as her sister''s, Joey was a failure.


    Joey looked at Lois coldly. How could she just let others make fun of him like this?


    Lois looked at Joey and then looked at Kent. She was a little confused and didn''t know what to do, but


    more confused. Did HN Group break up with Gu Consortium? What was going on between them?


    Seeing the confused look on Lois''s face, Joey felt a little depressed. He still looked calm and said, "Lois


    always understands my work. When she is healthy, she often takes care of my life and amodates


    my work, so I feel sorry for not being able to take care of Lois in the hospital. On the contrary, I have to


    bother Tania."


    Kent didn''t say anything. Instead, he looked at Joey with a smile, as if mocking at his powerlessness


    and sophistry.


    Although Joey knew that Kent deliberately pretended to be confident, he had to fall into the trap.


    He was like a child who was eager for candies. "Maggie got a red flower yesterday and insisted on


    looking for her mother. It suddenly urred to me that how important family is."


    His words were half true and half false, but Kent believed it all. The smile in Kent''s eyes slowly


    disappeared. If Joey didn''t want to give up, or if he wanted to get Lois back, did he still have a chance?


    Looking at Lois, Joey''s eyes were full of warmth. "Lois, do you think family is important or not?"


    Lois open her mouth but closed again, ''is that a family?'' It was just that she tried her best to maintain a


    broken ship that could barely float on the sea. As long as a slight gust of wind, it would instantly


    disappear in the sea.


    Seeing that Lois didn''t say anything, the warmth in Joey''s eyes disappeared. With a hint of threat, he


    asked, "Lois, do you think Maggie and I are important?"


    The name of Maggie seemed to have awakened Lois. She said reflexively, "it''s important!"


    When she came to her senses and saw the smile on Joey''s face, Lois didn''t say anything more. She


    just turned her head and looked out of the window.


    Seeing the disappointment on Lois''s face, Kent felt even more distressed. When he looked up, he saw


    that Joey was looking at him coldly.


    Kent stood up from the chair, looked at Joey and stretched out his left hand. "I was at the same


    university as Lois. We are fellow apprentices. Nice to meet you, Mr. Joey."


    Joey also stretched out her left hand, and the two of them looked into each other''s eyes. With a smile


    at the corners of his mouth, he said, "Oh, it''s you." he turned his head to look at Lois and asked, "Lois,


    why didn''t you introduce him to mest time?"


    Lois''s face turned pale. She remembered the first time she saw Kent, she said lightly, "I was not in a


    good mood. I forgot to tell you."


    Looking at the expression on Lois''s face, Joey knew that she had thought of what had happened in the


    parking lotst time. He put down the problem that had made both of them feel bad. He looked at Kent


    and said, "since you are a senior, just say it. It''s easy to misunderstand if you didn''t mention. My Lois is


    married!"


    "It''s my fault. I was too abrupt to remember your current situation," said Kent, curling his lips.


    Joey narrowed her eyes and asked, "what situation? Nothing happened between them!


    "It''s not serious for a couple to quarrel. Mr. Kent must have heard the rumors from the outside."


    Joey gave Kent a cold look and scolded him secretly!


    Kent didn''t argue anymore. "I made a decision too fast this time. I''ll be careful next time."


    Joey''s face softened. He looked at Kent and asked, "Mr. Kent, would you like some water?"


    Lois raised her head with a frown. Joey made things difficult for her and she couldn''t resist, but when


    Kent defended her. It was too much for Joey to drive him away in such a domineering way!


    "Kent, I still have something I don''t understand..."


    Before she could finish her words, Joey interrupted, "I understand. I''ll teach you!"


    "Lois, I''ve been bothering you for a long time today. I won''t stay here any longer. Have a good rest,"


    said Kent gently.


    "Kent..."When Lois was about to stand up, Kent stopped in front of the door and turned to call her.


    "Lois, We talked about that we could take Maggie to a small town together this morning. I''m looking


    forward to it. "

 Chapter 26 Warning

    Chapter 26 Warning


    Looking at the disappearing figure of Kent, Lois was a little confused. Was he hinting her to divorce as


    soon as possible?


    Joey felt that he was going to explode. Would they take Maggie to a small town?


    His wife had a husband, and his child had a father. Why did they need an outsider like Kent to take


    care of them?


    How ridiculous!


    Looking at the empty door of the ward, Lois lowered her head helplessly and felt apologetic.


    Tania stood up for Joey, but she was tripped up by Joey. Kent spoke for her, but was also humiliated by


    Joey. It seemed that all the people who helped her were cursed, a curse called Joey Gu.


    Seeing that Lois was absent-minded, Joey felt annoyed and sneered, "what? Do you feel sorry for your


    senior brother?"


    Hearing Joey''s words, Lois almost broke down. She opened the quilt on her body and roared at him,


    "Joey Gu! Are you done? "


    His handsome eyes narrowed slightly. "What did you say?"


    "If you''re done, get out of here!" She threw the pillow at Joey like a spoiled child.


    Joey pulled her up in a cold and angry manner, but he didn''t expect that Lois would resist her. He had


    already been used to it. Lois had fought against him a lot, but she had only seeded once.


    Without any hesitation, Joey pulled up Lois''s arm and lowered his head to kiss her pale lips.


    There was an opening in the door. Nurses, patients and nurses passed by asionally.


    With her eyes wide open, Lois looked at Joey with regret. Why did she provoke this tyrant? She knew


    he never controlled himself but why she couldn''t avoid to bear it!


    Joey seemed to feel that it was not enough. He pulled up Lois''s body to amodate his height. Lois


    took the opportunity to push him away. Unexpectedly, she was directly lifted up from the bed and


    ced by the window.


    Lois looked at Joey in horror, "no...Don''t be here... "


    Joey said in a low voice, "what are you afraid of? We are a legal couple!"


    Grabbing his suit, Lois begged again and again, but she forgot that Joey was always impatient. Joey


    loosened his tie and pressed his thin lips on her


    Joey''s breath became heavier. He bit on Lois''s lower lip. Looking at her misty eyes, which were filled


    with water, he couldn''t help but rub her red and swollen lips hard again.


    With one hand on her face and the other on her waist, Joey kissed Lois into cloud.


    Lois was forced to ept the ravage. The windowsill was one meter high and very narrow. Lois tightly


    held Joey''s suit with both hands, fearing that she would fall down identally.


    Thinking of his original intention of holding her up to the window, Joey released her lips and left a little.


    He said in a low voice, "do you know you are wrong?"


    Slowly, Lois came to her senses and finally responded, "Yes."


    Hearing her hoarse voice, Joey almost couldn''t stand it anymore. "Don''t be so close to other men in the


    future. You are a married woman!"


    Not daring to retort, Lois just nodded.


    Thinking of the eager eyes of Kent when he looked at Lois, Joey asked, "you...Have you ever been like


    this with other men? "


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    After a short pause, Lois reached out to push Joey away.


    Joey pinched her hand hard and said, "be honest!"


    As expected, Lois didn''t move anymore.


    After a long time, Joey finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard Lois say, "Joey, I''m not that kind


    of person. Even if I divorce you, I won''t do that."


    Joey almost blurted out "I know that." but he replied indifferently, "I don''t know if you are that kind of


    person or not."


    A hint of injury shed through Lois''s eyes. Before she recovered, Joey attacked her eardrum again in


    a low voice as usual. "You''d better behave yourself. If you dare to cheat on me, you will suffer a lot!"


    Lois turned his head and ignored him.


    Joey pulled her left hand off the suit and held it tightly. "Dare you try to be impatient with me again!"


    Lois also took her right hand off his suit.


    Joey looked at her right hand which was put down. What was this? She didn''t want him to protect her,


    so she shook off her hand?


    Joey felt that his arrogance as a husband had been denied by Lois. He suddenly felt that women


    couldn''t be spoiled all the time. Just like the one in front of him, he had always been obedient to her but


    she hadn''t given him a good face!


    Joey held her wrist tightly and stared at her coldly. "If you don''t listen to me, believe it or not, I will make


    you unable to see Maggie in the future! You can have a try! "


    Do you have any other chips besides Maggie? She was not a tool!


    With a straight face, Lois nodded, not as attractive as before.


    "So, take care of yourself."


    Lois nodded again.


    Seeing that Lois was annoyed, Joey wanted to say something more, but he was not in the mood


    anymore.


    He put down Lois''s wrist, only to see the bruise on her wrist. When he was about to reach out to check


    her bruise, he was interrupted by Lois, "excuse me."


    Her voice was no longer hoarse, but calm and indifferent.


    Joey took half a step back. Lois leaned sideways, held the windowsill with both hands and jumped


    down gently.


    The edges of the window sill scratched the back of Lois''s waist. Her legs became soft, and she lost her


    bnce and almost fell down.


    Joey reached out to hold her. Lois thanked her indifferently and lowered her head in silence.


    Joey released her hand, but Lois still didn''t move. The two of them didn''t speak. Joey stared at Lois


    coldly, while Lois just lowered her head, it was hard to tell what she was thinking.


    Joey snorted and strode away, mming the door heavily.


    After a while, Lois slowly raised her head with unyielding stubbornness on her face. She was


    determined to have her child!


    Joey opened the door and got in the car. He was thinking about Lois''s reaction and Kent''s expression


    and words. He was sure that he hadn''t been cuckolded, but judging from Lois''s final attitude, it was


    obvious that she wanted to fight against him to the end.


    Joey knew that Lois was not a coward. If she made up her mind to make trouble, he would have no


    way back but to suppress others with power. He was annoyed and depressed at the same time. His


    words were a little unpleasant to hear, but Kent was so loyal to Lois...


    Joey cursed and started the car, leaving the hospital.


    After tidying up the documents, Lois lifted the sheet andy on the bed.


    She looked at the ceiling, feeling a little dull, aggrieved, resentful and embarrassed. Lois looked at the


    ceiling with a dull face.


    After some time, Tania came to the hospital with dinner. She nced at the ward and asked, "where is


    Kent?"


    "He has left." Sighed Lois.


    Tania''s impression of Kent instantly lowered. "How could he leave you alone?"


    Lois didn''t want to say anything more. "This afternoon, Joey did came here."


    Tania was shocked, "what was he doing here?"


    "¡­"


    Tania asked anxiously again, "what the hell was he doing here?"


    "I don''t know," Lois added, "he told me not to cuckold him."

 Chapter 27 Is It A Dream Or A Reality

    Chapter 27 Is It A Dream Or A Reality


    Tania was stunned. They were going to divorce, but why did he still care about Lois making friends?


    "It''s none of his business! Why doesn''t he divorce you as soon as possible if he is afraid? "


    Lois knew that Tania liked talking, so she didn''t say anything more.


    Tania put the food on the table and asked, "Did your senior keep you hungry at noon?"


    Shaking her head, Lois lowered her head to eat.


    Tania left at nine o''clock. She kept telling Lois that she wanted to expand thepany. Lois] nodded in


    agreement because she had something in her mind.


    After Tania left, Lois went to the bathroom. After washing up, shey on the bed and looked at the


    ceiling.


    Lois gradually fell asleep afterwards.


    It seemed that Lois had returned to the age of eighteen. At the sight of the man in white shirt and ck


    suit pants, the mboyant girl was instantly lost herself.


    With a shiver of cold, she walked towards that messy night. Under him, she said again and again, "I''m


    Lois, I''m Lois..."


    His dark eyes could almost absorb her soul. She put her fingers on his eyelids and saw her shadow


    from his Obsidian like eyes. "There is Lois in Joey''s eyes..."


    She smiled like a child, and happiness almost drowned her. The man she had loved for three years


    also had her in his eyes.


    Lois thought of that violent night again and said, "it''s all your fault. It''s all your fault!" With deep hatred


    and questioning, she could hardly bear the strength and skills of Joey. She could only fall gracefully in


    the storm and rain, and there was no hope.


    Then came endless coldness. All the love that had not been hidden for many years poured out like a


    pir, so she walked too fast and couldn''t stop her love.


    She cooked hangover Soup for him every night, and she gave him nutritious meals every day. He


    treated her coldly, so she avoided him. Fortunately, he was satisfied with life and never refused her


    care.


    If Sally hadn''te back from abroad. Her mind wandered to Sally again. That day, The only diamond


    ring that could prove her rtionship with Joey had been thrown away.


    She could still feel the coldness at that time. The diamond ring was thrown away, and Joey abandoned


    her.


    She closed her eyes and whispered, "Maggie..."


    Lois felt both cold and sad.


    "Mom,"


    She looked up and saw Maggie running towards her with her little arms waving. She squatted down


    and waited for the little girl''s hug.


    But to her surprise, Maggie didn''t stop until she passed through her body.


    Lois shouted the little girl''s name and turned around. Her Maggie was held in the arms of Joey. The


    little girl kissed Joey on the cheek, then tilted her head and kissed Sally on the cheek. She called her


    directly, "Mommy!"


    Looking at the way Sally looked at her, Lois saw the joy of provocation,cency and revenge.


    Joey held Sally''s hand intimately and left with the little girl in his arms.


    A cold voice came to her ears. Maggie almost forgot you. Your child has forgotten you...


    Lois suddenly woke up. Her forehead was full of sweat, and the coldness on her face made her feel


    ufortable. A gentle touch, full of tears.


    With her fingers trembling, Lois grabbed the sheet. She thought of [Maggie''s soft and lovely face and


    her soft and innocent voice.


    Maggie was not close to anyone since she was a child. She was only close to her and Joey''s mother.


    The little girl liked desserts, but as long as she said it would break her teeth, the little girl would stop the


    desserts.


    Maggie liked to pester her. Both of themcked a sense of security. Only when they were by each


    other''s side that would they feel happy each other.


    A glimmer of light shed through Lois''s eyes. Except for her and Joey''s mother, no one could get


    close to Maggie, which meant that it was difficult for Maggie to ept Joey!


    She was too anxious to see Maggie, but she forgot that they were the only one for each other.


    Gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, Lois knew that she couldn''tpromise to Joey for the sake


    of Maggie. At the same time, she couldpromise on anything for the sake of Maggie!


    Since Joey didn''t love her, she didn''t have to put up with it. She could let Joey do anything. Anyway, no


    matter how well she did, Joey wouldn''t be satisfied.


    But she couldn''t lose her daughter. Maggie and love were the only things she had protected in the past


    five years. If she lost love, she was just disappointed. If she lost Maggie, she would be desperate.


    Lois cheered herself up. It was bright outside. She picked up the phone at the corner of the table and


    found it was 6.30am.


    When Lois pushed the door open, she saw Tania sitting at the table and drawing on the n.


    She picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on her neck. "Why do youe so early today?"


    Tania put down the pen and closed the n. "I''m worried that you might take things too hard."


    "Then why didn''t youe to see me?" Lois put down the towel and drank a ss of water.


    As Tania opened the breakfast box, she sneered, "I''ve never seen anyone abnormal who would fold up


    the quilt in the morning."


    Smiling, Lois turned around and went to the bathroom.

    While the two of them were having breakfast, Tania cautiously asked, "do you really not take it to


    heart?"


    Shaking her head and shrugging, Lois said, "there''s nothing we can do about it. We have to live on it."


    Tania''s expression changed and raised her thumb, "Correct!"


    Seeing that Lois was indeed in a good condition, Tania said, "I''m going to expand mypany. I may


    not have time to make breakfast for you recently, but I will oftene here to apany you!"


    Chewing the food, Lois swallowed it and asked, "then what about my breakfast?


    Tania smiled, "can I starve you? "I found you a nutritionist."


    "Well, I also have this n. It''s better to leave the hospital as soon as possible!" Lois agreed readily.


    After the two of them finished breakfast, Tania continued to write and draw on the n. Lois looked


    through the documents brought by Tania. The two of them were busy with their own things, and there


    was only the sound of turning the pages in the ward.


    Raising her eyes, Lois was touched by Tania''s confused look. "You can go to thepany. Expanding


    is not for fun. Go and ask your capable men to discuss it with you. I''ll call you if I have something to


    deal with. "


    Tania thought for a while and said, "Okay, I can''t figure it out myself, so I''m leaving now." Walking to the


    door, Tania turned around and said, "the nutritionist will bring you lunch. Eat more enough."


    "Okay."


    Lois kept going through the contracts and documents. What she needed now was ability and money.


    Once she left Gu Family, she must give the best to Maggie. She was capable and experienced, so


    what she needed was only time.


    Lois had even thought that in the near future, after she broke up with Joey, she would be able to earn a


    vi and a famous car in two years. At that time, Maggie would have a vi and a car at the beginning,


    and she would also enjoy it.

 Chapter 28 His panic

    Chapter 28 His panic


    As the nurse walked into the ward, Lois had just signed an agreement.


    The nurse quickly took Lois''s temperature and asked about her condition. When she knew that Lois


    went jogging this morning, she praised, "you''re recovering soon!"


    Perhaps it was because of the difference in her state of mind, Lois was getting better and better, and


    her appetite was a little higher than before. She dealt with relevant documents every day and kept a lot


    of documents in her mind. asionally, she didn''t need to check documents one by one.


    Joey cut the breakfast into pieces and put it in front of Maggie.


    Since a few days ago, Joey started to sit beside Maggie during the meal, taking care of her diet and


    preferences.


    Maggie looked at his father beside him. He carefully put the te in front of her and poured her a ss


    of hot milk. She wanted to say that she didn''t drink milk at all, but because of fear, she lowered her


    head and ate silently.


    Joey looked at the delicate and soft little girl next to him. He used to think that the little girl looked like a


    small part of him and arge part of Lois. But now, it seemed that the little girl looked very much like


    Lois. They both rejected him, even if he had already paid for it.


    Joey couldn''t help but think of the day when he was in the hospital. For that day, most of his mind was


    about the words and expressions that Lois had exined for her "brother", and the rest was her


    indifference to him.


    He always knew that Lois was not that kind of woman, but he hoped that Lois could understand and


    refuse Kent. He was not afraid that even if their marriage would cause trouble to Gu Family. The only


    thing he was afraid that she would take the invitation of Kent and leave their small family.


    Joey knew that he had panicked. He was no longer as calm as he used to be when he threatened her.


    Thest sentence "you can have a try" was his fear. He knew that he shouldn''t have said that, but he


    couldn''t say anything to soften Lois''s cold face. He was a man and couldn''t easily lower his head.


    Joey thought of the information submitted by his secretary yesterday. ording to the investigation,


    Kent Wu and Lois were just ordinary schoolmates, and the two of them were not even close in college.


    Except for the "Chairman and member of the Go Club", the two of them had little contact and were


    almost strangers.


    But when he thought of the way Kent looked at Lois, it was "tolerance, heartache and affection.". Even


    when the verbal attack of the two of them hurt Lois, that kind of inner guilt


    Joey was in a panic. If Kent fought with him on Lois, he couldn''t win. He didn''t have tenderness,


    concern, or put himself in a position to think about Lois. The only thing he had was the marriage


    certificate, and his daughter who didn''t like him.


    Looking at her daughter who was burying herself in eating, Joey gently rubbed her hair and said,


    "Maggie, do you miss Mom?"


    Raising her head abruptly, Maggie looked at Joey with her big eyes shining with surprise. She


    summoned up her courage and asked, "Dad, is it really okay?"


    Joey rubbed her forehead and asked, "don''t you want to meet mom?"


    The little girl burst intoughter and her face lit up in an instant. She climbed onto the dining chair. Joey


    caught carefully. The little girl pounced on him and gave him a heavy kiss.


    "I love Daddy!"


    The lively voice was still in Joey''s ears. Looking at her daughter who went upstairs in a hurry, a bitter


    smile yed at the corners of his mouth.


    Should he be happy or sad?


    The little girl had only kissed him for two times. One time was that, she wanted to see her mother when


    Lois went to the kindergarten but didn''t see her. She tried to please him.


    This time, she was obviously more enthusiastic thanst time, because her dream came true and she


    could see her mother.


    Love daddy...


    The pleasant child''s voice was still in his ears. He looked down at his wrist and wondered if the wound


    on Lois''s wrist was better? He couldn''t help but hurt her that day. Would [Maggie see it?

    Maggie ran upstairs and put all the red flowers she got recently into her schoolbag. She looked around


    the room and found that the little toys and dolls bought for her by her mother had been changed to


    something brought by that bad woman.


    Thinking of her father''s promise to see her motherter, the little girl seemed to think of something. She


    took out arge schoolbag from the wardrobe and put the little red flower inside.


    Maggie went downstairs and saw her father having dinner. She climbed to her chair obediently and


    began to eat with him.


    Joey ate very slowly, even slower than usual. He hesitated whether he should ask the driver to send


    Maggie to the hospital or he should take her to the hospital himself.


    Maggie carefully looked up at her father''s face, which was still expressionless as usual. She was


    nervous and ate some fried eggs in silence.


    As Joey took a sip of milk, and Maggie also took a sip.


    Joey savored the milk fragrance in his mouth and looked at the little girl, only to see Maggie forking an


    egg into her mouth.


    As Joey looked at Maggie, waiting for her urging. Maggie lowered her head to have some breakfast,


    waiting for her father''s notice.


    Until the breakfast was finished, neither of the two made a sound.


    Looking at therge schoolbag behind Maggie and the nervous and pitiful look of the little girl, Joey


    smiled and asked, "why do you bring so many things with you?"


    Maggie''s face turned pale. She lowered her head and didn''t say anything, but stubbornly insisted.


    She lowered her head slightly and pursed her lips dejectedly, afraid that her father would be unhappy.


    "Can''t I really take these with me?"


    Joey felt a sharp pain in his heart. She was supposed to have a good time in her father''s arms, but why


    did his younger daughter learn to read people''s mind and amodate herself to others at such a


    young age?


    He remembered the little bun he saw in his friend''s house. It was obviously a domineering and


    unreasonable guy. But how could his child be so aggrieved?


    Joey carried Maggie to the dining chair, squatted down and looked into her eyes seriously. "Maggie."


    The little girl shrank her body who was not used to it.


    Joey smiled, "Maggie just needs to do whatever she wants to do."


    Maggie felt a little ufortable when she saw the mild look on Joey''s face. Although she was young,


    she was very cautious. Hearing what he said, she only nodded obediently and did not ask anything


    else.


    Joey held Maggie in the passenger seat and started the car to the hospital.


    Lois put her left hand on the pillow, and the long and thin injector was inserted into her blood vessels.


    An infusion bottle was hung on the rack beside the bed.


    With her right hand flipping through the documents, Lois set up a small table on the right of her body,


    on which aptop was ced. She looked up information and data from time to time, and checked the


    recent cooperation of thepany.


    The quality of her work was very good in a short time. Lois had already finished a stack of folders


    beside her, but she still focused on her work.


    What supported her was the future of Maggie.


    Joey was standing at the door with Maggie in his arms. The sun shone through the window, making her


    face paler and her bloodless lips tightly closed. The serious look on her face was distressing and


    fascinating.

 Chapter 29 Mom, Let Me Take Care Of You

    Chapter 29 Mom, Let Me Take Care Of You


    Maggie looked at Lois nkly, with tears in her big eyes. Seeing that Lois was sick, she bit her lower lip


    with pity. The little girl in Joey''s arms struggled hard, so Joey squatted down and put her down.


    Hearing the noise, Lois looked up nkly, only to see that Maggie ran into the ward with her schoolbag


    on her back.


    Lois couldn''t believe that happiness woulde like this. Her hand holding the pen trembled slightly,


    fearing that a big move would destroy everything in front of her.


    Looking at Lois''s thin face, Maggie felt sorry for her and shed tears.


    Lois suddenly threw away the file on her legs and pulled down the needle.


    She got out of bed in a hurry and knelt on the ground with her legs weak. But she ignored it. She held


    Maggie tightly. Tears burst out in an instant. "Maggie..."


    Her left hand was torn by the injector, and dark red blood flowed out. It seemed that Lois didn''t feel it,


    but focused on holding the little girl in her arms.


    Joey was afraid that the bleeding wound would frighten Maggie, so he didn''t say anything.


    The two cried together. Lois kept calling her daughter''s name, and Maggie called her mother in a


    sobbing tone.


    Joey called the nurse and grabbed Maggie from Lois''s hand. He grabbed Lois''s left hand and said,


    "calm down! You will scare the baby! "


    Looking at the dark red blood, Lois turned her back abruptly. The nurse took the medicine to treat her


    wound.


    Lois smiled and looked at Maggie. Seeing that the little girl was crying more fiercely, Lois wiped her


    tears with a smile and said, "it doesn''t hurt, mom." Tears welled up in her eyes.


    "Enough! The baby came to see you, not to see you crying! " Joey scolded Lois coldly.


    It was rare for Lois to be obedient to wipe away her tears. However, Maggie said, "Mom hasn''t


    recovered yet. You can''t get out of bed!"


    Maggie looked at her father, waiting for hismand.


    Joey smiled and touched Maggie''s head. He looked at Lois and said, "you''d better have a good rest.


    Otherwise, Maggie....And I will be worried about you. "


    After saying that, Joey turned her head awkwardly. Lois smiled gratefully at him, but she didn''t notice


    that Joey''s ears were slightly red.


    The nurse took a look at Joey and then looked at the little girl. She seemed to think that neither of them


    was reliable. Then she turned to Lois and said, "don''t be so impulsive next time. You will take the


    medicine this afternoon."


    The nurse didn''t leave until Lois agreed in a low voice.


    Lois wiped the tears off Maggie''s face and smoothed her hair. Joey cleaned up the small table used by


    Lois and put Maggie on it.


    Lois knew that Joey was afraid that the child would be infected with too many bacteria in the hospital,


    so she moved closer to Maggie.


    Maggie smiled innocently. She took off her schoolbag from her back and took out a pile of red flowers


    from it. Seeing the little girl unting the red flowers, Lois smiled gently and praised, "our Maggie is so


    awesome! You have got so many rewards! "


    Maggie''s face was flushed. She jumped up abruptly, put her arms around Lois''s neck, and kissed her


    on the cheek. After a long time, Maggie let go of her and put her nose close to Lois''s neck. "Mommy


    smells good!"


    Lois was tickled by her. She gently patted on Maggie''s bottom and said, "stop it!"


    "Mom doesn''t love me anymore!" said Maggie, clinging to Lois! Mom have a new sweet! "


    Joey felt as if his heart had been hit by a hammer. He remembered the way Kent looked at Lois and the


    tenderness that lingered in his heart like a nightmare. It was said that children wouldn''t lie. Did Maggie


    feel something?


    "Who did you learn from! You know what a new sweet is! " Lois patted on Maggie''s buttock and


    educated her gently.


    The little girl retorted, "a new sweet is a new lover! Mom used to say it before! "


    Seeing that her schoolbag was bulging, Lois took the opportunity to change the topic. "What''s in


    Maggie''s big bag?"


    Maggie took over the big bag, unzipped it and took out beautiful clothes from it.


    The little girl smiled seriously and proudly. "From today on, I will stay here to take care of my mother!"


    Stunned, Lois held back the tears in her eyes. She gently said, "Maggie can''t stay in the hospital."


    "Why! I want to take care of mom! My mother never left me when I was sick! " Maggie insisted.


    Lois couldn''t help but pull Maggie into her arms with great strength.


    Joey turned his head away and said nothing.


    Looking at Maggie in Lois''s arms, Joey curled up his fingers slightly. His Obsidian like eyes were filled


    with deep loneliness. After a long time, he finally turned his head away and didn''t say anything to


    disappoint the two.


    Lois''s crying was annoying. Even though she was a woman, she still made Maggie out of breath.


    Joey knew that Lois was immersed in her own emotions and couldn''t extricate herself from it, but he


    couldn''t amodate her to it. With a cold face, he broke free from Lois''s arms and said, "it''s not a life


    and death separation. What if the child is frightened?"


    Hearing Joey''s rebuke, Lois calmed down and wiped her tears. Maggie''s face turned red with


    embarrassment. Lois patted Maggie back slowly. Lois listened to her with a smile while Maggie was


    telling her some interesting stories in the kindergarten.


    Both Lois and Joey didn''t mention that Maggie was going to stay in the hospital anymore. Lois listened


    to Maggie talking about her weirdness when she yed games with her friends in the kindergarten and


    a dessert shop opening next to a shopping mall. She wanted Lois to leave the hospital as soon as


    possible and take her to eat.


    Lois agreed. Lois ran her fingers through her hair lovingly and asked gently, "have you listened to your


    father since mom was away?"


    Joey, who was sitting next to them, was stunned. He didn''t expect that Lois and Maggie would talk


    about him in the topic. He wanted to say something, but felt that he had nothing to say. So he just


    listened to the little girl''s answer.


    "¡­"Maggie lowered her head. She didn''t want to listen to her father. Tom had been obedient to his


    father since childhood, and now he had a new mother!This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Lois looked up at Joey, who was sitting next to her. From her point of view, she could only see his cold


    and hard side face. She sighed in her heart, but this could frighten Maggie. How could she expect him


    to love Maggie so much?


    Lois patted her little butt and asked, "have you had good meals recently?"


    Maggie tried to change the topic, "Mommy, please get better. I miss you so much!"


    Frowning, Lois looked at Joey and said, "you''d better let her eat well. She''s growing up now."


    The one with a guilty conscience would always retort, "how do you know that I didn''t take good care of


    her?"


    Theint and angry voice continued, "I''m busy with thepany affairs. I have to take care of my


    work and family by myself. How can I take good care of my child?"


    "You can give me the child."


    No way!


    Joey turned his head away fiercely. He didn''t want to lower himself to the same level as a woman!

 Chapter 30 The World Collapsed

    Chapter 30 The World Copsed


    Seeing that Joey turned his head away, Lois didn''t argue with him any more. She never quarreled with


    him in front of the child. It was the first time that she had quarreled with him in front of their child today.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Maggie saw that the two of them had changed from whispers to hostility. She seemed to understand,


    but it seemed that she didn''t.


    Maggie looked at Joey, who turned his head away, and then she looked at Lois, who looked helpless.


    She lowered her head in silence.


    In her memory, her mother never quarreled with her father. She always said that her father was a good


    father, but he was just very busy and tired.


    At this moment, her previous impression was overturned in her heart. Perhaps her father was not a


    good father, and it was not just because he was busy. Otherwise, why did her mother have such a


    helpless expression?


    Noticing Maggie''s gaze, Lois smiled gently and asked, "does Maggie like to live with your father or


    mother?"


    Maggie was in a daze when she heard this question, and then lowered her head to think.


    After a while, the little girl raised her head and asked carefully, "I love mom, will you be with me


    forever?"


    Lois nodded excitedly. She couldn''t restrain her excitement and said, "of course!"


    Maggie nodded, "then I''ll live with my father."


    For a moment, all the surging joy faded away like the tide, and then came the yellow sand all over the


    ground in reality.


    The ecstasy in Lois''s eyes slowly turned into disbelief and uneptable. She wanted to escape, but


    she was afraid of losing it.


    Finally she asked, "why?"


    Why don''t you want to live with me? Don''t you like me?


    Lois felt that the whole world was copsing and overturning. At the same time, Joey''s words came to


    her mind again, "Maggie is about to forget you.".


    Maggie didn''t notice that Lois was about to lose control of her emotions. She crawled into her mother''s


    arms and acted like a spoiled child, "Maggie loves Mommy. Mommy and Maggie can just follow


    Daddy!"


    Hearing the loud noise, Lois listened to the coquettish voice in her arms and slowly suppressed her


    negative emotions. She patted on the back of Maggie and said, "Maggie, good girl..."


    Lois closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She kept patting Maggie on the back. When she


    opened her eyes again, her eyes had returned to clear. The grief was no longer there, but a little gloom.


    When Lois asked this question, Joey regretted taking the child to see her. When he saw that Maggie


    bowed her head and was deep in thought, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.


    He tried to think about whether he had done anything to make Maggie moved to give up his mother.


    The answer was self-evident.


    But when the little girl spoke out her will, he suddenly felt moved. He was really moved. No matter


    whether he had be a good father or not, the kinship could not be easily erased. Although Maggie


    was only a child, she knew that he was her father, the family member with the same bloodline in her


    life.


    Joey was deeply touched by Maggie''s words, but he was also a little angry with Lois. A child at such a


    young age knew how to protect her family, but why couldn''t a person at the age of more than 20 think


    about that!


    Joey didn''t know at this time. In the near future, he finally understood that the blood rtionship was


    not less than the love of five years. Without Lois, he was worse than a stranger in Maggie''s eyes.


    Lois and Maggie had been making out for a long time before Joey proposed to leave.


    Lois''s hand, which was pinching Maggie''s face, trembled slightly. She grinned hard and begged, "stay a


    little longer."


    Joey frowned and looked at his watch. "It''s already over ten o''clock. I have a meetingter."


    Lois understood and smiled. He should be anxious as he was busy with thepany''s affairs.


    "Leave Maggie here. When you finish your work in the afternoon..."


    Maggie is not only yours!


    Joey nced at Lois with a sneer and saw her faint voice as he wished.


    Joey tidied up the small red flowers scattered on the bed and put them into the middle of Maggie''s


    schoolbag. Then he put her clothes into her schoolbag randomly and reached out his hand to catch


    Maggie.


    Maggie tried to hide from him, "I want to take care of my mother here!"


    With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Joey patiently coaxed, "Maggie, children will be infected with


    bacteria in the hospital. Mom is already sick, and dad can''t let Maggie get sick too."


    "I''m not afraid! I want to be with mom! " The little girl insisted.


    Joey had to y his trump card, "Maggie, if you stay here, you will affect your mom rest. Her illness will


    be more serious!"


    Lois listened to Joey said patiently. It was hard for her to imagine that he would have such a side. If he


    was so gentle to the child, she wouldn''t have to worry so much.


    She thought of Sally again. She looked up at Joey. It was just a revenge. Why was he so serious? "Is it


    necessary? She is also your child! "


    Joey looked at Lois coldly and said, "she is also your child! You''d better think it over! "


    Joey was talking about the divorce, but in Lois''s ears, he was threatening her openly.


    In the end, Maggie was taken away by Joey. The little girl kicked her shins and cried in his arms


    endlessly, shouting to be with her mother.


    Lois chased after Joey, but she didn''t dare to stop him. She could only watch him take her child away


    and drive away from the hospital.


    Lois didn''te to herself until the car disappeared in front of her.


    Lois went back to the ward with weak steps. She sat on the bed nkly. It was her fault. It was her


    wishful thinking to marry Joey. Why did he make things difficult for her child!


    Lois was on a drip in the afternoon, but couldn''t read the documents in her hand.


    When Tania came to visit Lois in the evening, she saw that Lois was depressed and didn''t want to talk


    more.


    Looking at the bandage on her left hand, Tania asked, "what''s wrong with your hand?"


    Lois put down the documents in her hands and said, "I was too excited to see Maggie today."


    Tania looked at Lois in surprise, "did you see Maggie today?"


    "Yes."


    Tania didn''t notice that Lois didn''t want to say anything more. She sat on the nearby chair and smiled,


    "this little girl is awesome! I can''t believe that he has a way to ask for Joey! "


    Lois looked up at Tania. Seeing her confused look, Tania poked her forehead and said angrily, "you''re


    out of your mind! Do you think that Joey would be kind enough to bring the child to see you? "


    Lois''s eyes lit up. She felt that her heart hade back to life. She knew that Joey wouldn''t be so kind.


    It must be Maggie who insisted oning!


    Tania rolled her eyes and didn''t forget to fan her, "I''ve told you that the child also has the share of Joey.


    It''s impossible for him to see the child suffer. It''s the instinct of every parent!"


    Lois was so happy that she didn''t take Tania''s words seriously. But out of gratitude, she nodded


    fiercely.


    After the two finished their meal, Tania stood up and said goodbye. Lois put the unfinished contract on


    the pillow and nned to make it tomorrow.


    She picked up her phone and dialed Joey''s number, waiting for the answer nervously.

 Chapter 31 Dad, I Want Mom

    Chapter 31 Dad, I Want Mom


    Seeing the name of Lois on the screen, Joey angrily threw the phone aside.


    Maggie had been crying since she left the hospital. Joey thought that she would be better and stop


    crying so hard without him. However, none of the servants was useful. They made the child cry so hard


    even passed out.


    When he came back and went upstairs, he found that Maggie''s face was red and the temperature was


    so high. He called the family doctor of the old house in a hurry. When Lois called, Joey was looking at


    the doctor who was giving Maggie an injection.


    In particr, the little girl had a high fever and was still in aa. Her physiological reaction hadn''t


    gone down yet. She twitched two times from time to time, which made people feel sorry for her.


    "Mom..."Maggie''s hoarse and crying voice almost drove Joey crazy!


    Joey looked at the ringing phone irritably again. This woman was so annoying!


    "Hello!" His voice was full of disgust.


    Noticing his displeasure, Lois cautiously asked, "Joey, where is Maggie?"


    "The baby is still little. We have to lower her body temperature at night. And don''t dy this kind of


    thing next time. If it takes too long, the baby will be dull-witted!" The middle-aged doctor put the


    instrument into the medicine box and told the servant beside him.


    The servant noticed the coldness in Joey''s'' eyes and lowered her head.


    Lois was in a daze. The sound from the other end of the phone echoed in the ward, "the child will


    be dull-witted if it is too long!"!


    There was only one child in Gu Family, and that was Maggie.


    She asked anxiously, "is Maggie sick? What happened to her? Joey, how is she? "


    Hearing her flustered voice and looking at her daughter''s red face, Joey was speechless.


    After a long while, Lois didn''t get any reply. She asked anxiously, "Joey, is this how you be as a father!


    What happened to Maggie! is she having a fever? "


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Different from the pleading at the beginning, the sharp questioning made Joey angry. "How do I be a


    father? You should see how you being a mother! "


    Putting down the phone in his hand, Joey raised his chin with cold eyes, indicating the servant to send


    the doctor out. The doctor tidied up his things and followed the servant downstairs.


    Looking at Maggie''s red and swollen eyes from a distance, Joey asked coldly, "what else do you want


    to say?"


    Lois kept silent.


    Listening to the faint breath on the phone, Joey remembered the question she asked when she got


    along with Maggie in the afternoon. Thinking that she couldn''t wait to take the child away from him, he


    was very angry.


    Joey didn''t show any politeness and said in a deep voice, "you know why Maggie is sick this time. You


    irritated her to cry and make it worse. How dare you question me?"


    However, Lois thought of Sally. Their marriage hade to an end. If she couldn''t take Maggie away,


    Sally would cut in. No matter whether Joey loved Maggie or not, Sally wouldn''t let go of her child easily.


    Ignoring Joey''s usation, Lois went straight to the point, "Maggie won''t grow up happily with you!"


    I know that she will only cry if she follows you! Joey didn''t say that. Heughed angrily and said, "I think


    it''s necessary for you to go to the neurology department. Don''t bother me anymore!"


    "Joey Gu..."Lois was about to mention Sally, but Joey had already hung up the phone.


    Joey tried hard to hold back the words that were about toe out of her throat, "I don''t think you are


    much greater than me. How could a mother who loves her child ask such a question to the child!"! You


    are so bad!


    No child could face her parents'' divorce calmly. How could Lois ask such a cruel and ruthless question


    to his child! She didn''t deserve to be a mother!


    Joey tried her best to suppress the anger in his heart. He walked slowly to the bed. The little girl''s face


    had faded away from red and turned pale, and his thin cherry lips were bloodless.


    He sat on the bed slowly, brushed away the hair on her forehead and gently pinched the little girl''s face.


    He really regretted what he had done for so many years. He didn''t care about them, so Lois quarreled


    with him like this. He didn''t take good care of them, so his daughter never took the initiative to get close


    to him


    He watched Lois pinching Maggie''s little face. He was anxious and pitiful. They were in a good


    rtionship and Lois taught the child well, so he was full of happiness. But they never mentioned him


    voluntarily. He couldn''t get involved in the topic between them, just like an outsider.


    He hung up the phone not because he was angry, but because he was afraid. He had never tried to


    please women. The most he did to her was not to mock or refuse. He no longer wanted to let himself


    say something bad that made her heart ache.


    And he didn''t want to make the rtionship between the three of them more and more stiff. If Lois was


    willing toe back, he would never go out to flirt with women, nor engage in social activities at night.


    He would not get drunk ande backte to make her worried


    Joey stayed in front of the bed for a whole night. During this period, when the servants cooled Maggie''s


    body, Joey sat aside and watched.


    He didn''t want to admit, but he had to admit that during the absence of Lois, Maggie had lost weight.


    Although the baby fat on her face was still so soft, her body was thinner.


    When Maggie woke up, it was already the next morning. She opened her eyes and looked at her father


    sitting at the bedside.


    Joey''s eyes were dark, and it seemed that there was stubble on his chin overnight. With a gloomy


    expression, he rubbed Maggie''s soft hair and said, "Maggie, don''t make dad worry about you like this in


    the future..."


    The little girl reached out her hands to hold Joey''s big hands, and begged with red eyes, "Dad, I want


    mom..."


    Joey nodded slightly, "okay."


    As expected, Maggie finished her meal obediently and waited for her father to keep his promise.


    In the past, Gu Consortium would warmly celebrate the arrival of HN Group, and this year was no


    exception.


    It was luxuriously decorated, with various dishes and a partner of handsome men and beautiful women.


    Joey was still alone. He walked past the guests casually. Most of them were the employees of the


    company, and of course, there were also many daughters from rich families he invited.


    Joey turned his head and told his secretary to check the trace of Kent. Then he lowered his head and


    whispered in his ear for a while. Steve looked at his boss awkwardly and reluctantly agreed. Then he


    turned around toplete the task given by his boss.


    Kent arrivedte. He was wearing an Armani ck suit, which set off his thin body, tall and long, well


    arranged hair, a gentle smile, and a pair of gold rimmed sses, making him look more elegant.


    All thedies present looked at him with admiration and infatuation. Kent walked into the hall of the


    party in silence, as if he didn''t notice that he had already made the spring water drunk.


    When Kent arrived, Joey was smoking impatiently, leaning against the window. Half of his face was


    hidden in the wheel of light, kept changing.

 Chapter 32 Confrontation

    Chapter 32 Confrontation


    Steve walked to Joey and reminded her, "boss, Mr. Kent is here. Those women also... "


    Steve''s shyness made Joey unresponsive. He stubbed out the cigarette and asked, "done?"


    "Yes!"


    "Let''s go." Joey walked towards Kent and took a ss of wine from the tray in the waiter''s hand.


    Raising the ss of wine in his hand, Joey nced at the hall of the party and said, "Mr. Ken is finally


    here. You have to punish yourself by drinking three sses of alcohol today!"


    Kent smiled helplessly. His eyes under the gold rimmed sses were full of apology. "I''m indeedte.


    Three sses are not too many."


    Joey cast a sidelong nce at Steve, then Steve came to propose a toast to Kent.


    Looking at the ss in which was liquor in front of him, the smile in Kent''s eyes slowly sank, but the


    corners of his mouth were still beautiful.


    Kent drank three sses of liquor without any expression on his face. Joey took the lead to apud for


    Kent. All thedies present knew that Joey was deliberately making things difficult for Kent, but he was


    in a high position!


    While belittling Joey in his heart, they also started at Kent with admiration.


    "Mr. Kent, you are so readily!" Joey patted Kent''s shoulder and showed a trace of admiration. "I''m sure


    to be your friend!"


    Kent just smiled and said nothing.


    Joey changed the topic, "I heard that Mr. Kent doesn''t have a girlfriend yet?"


    Kent paused and smiled, "not yet."


    "It''s normal that you can''t find a girl together abroad. After all, we have different contacts with them


    since childhood, and when we grow up, we will have different ideas, but..."Joey raised his ss and


    said, "but there are many good girls in our country. Mr. Kent, you should hurry up!"


    Kent replied with a smile, "of course!"


    Joey patted Kent on the shoulder and said, "there are so many beautiful women in Gu Consortium. If


    you like someone, I can give you a clue!"


    "Thank you, Mr. Joey." Kent took out a ss of red wine from the tray of the waiter and clinked sses


    with Joey.


    The two of themughed out loud and their eyes were filled with killing intent.


    Joey raised his ss and took a sip of the wine. The mellow scent of the wine brought his good mood


    into his heart.


    Steve lowered his head and didn''t dare to say anything. If his boss didn''t like Kent, he would punish


    him to death!


    Three sses of spirits, a ss of brandy, a cup of vodka, and a cup of double headed soup. If he was


    a normal person, he would have drunk!


    During the whole party, Joey talked with Kent about the characteristics of the girl he liked in a friendly


    manner. Kent felt a little dizzy but didn''t get drunk.


    The two of them talked back and forth with wine sses in their hands. In the blink of an eye, they had


    drunk a few sses of wine.


    Those who knew Joey had never seen him so approachable to someone. They thought that Kent was


    right about him.


    Although Kent was displeased, he couldn''t turn against Joey. He came to represent HN Group this


    time. No matter what he did wrong, it would indirectly affect the cooperation of HN Group.


    He had no choice but to take Joey''s scheming as a joke and endure the ridicule.


    "I think our HR manager is good. She is just twenty-five years old this year. She is gentle, kind,


    beautiful and conservative, and her family is simple." Speaking of this, Joey suddenly thought of


    something and his eyes lit up. "It''s not bad for the Gu Consortium and HN Group to get a rtion in


    marriage!"


    The girls who were looking at them from time to time all looked at Joey in disbelief. Didn''t they invite


    them this time to see the moral quality of Kent! Why did he start to introduce Kent girlfriend again!


    "You must be kidding, Mr. Joey. I have someone I like," said Kent indifferently, looking at Joey with his


    misty eyes


    Joey gasped and smiled apologetically, "I was too sudden. Kent, I hope you don''t mind."


    Kent still smiled calmly. Of course he didn''t care. It was just a group of crazy women.


    Thedies around softened their faces. No one would think that Kent was telling the truth. As soon as


    he entered the room, he said that he was single. Now he was just annoyed by Joey.


    It urred to Kent that Joey had set a trap for him, but he never thought that the women at the party


    thought so much which could even scare aliens away.


    The women around him were even more happy to see that he didn''t give in to the evil force.


    Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Joey winked at Steve.


    Steve understood and turned away.


    With a ss of wine in his hand, Joey continued to talk with Kent, but from his girlfriend stuff to the


    cooperation between the two sides.


    People around came to toast from time to time, and Joey didn''t mind introducing to Kent the merchants


    that might cooperate with HN Group in the future.


    Steve came in a hurry, "Mr. Joey!"


    Many people turned their attention to Joey. Steve walked up to him and said, "Mrs. Gu asked you to go


    back. Miss Maggie..."


    Joey raised his hand to stop him.


    Joey forced a smile and looked at Kent, "Kent, I''m really sorry. Something happened to my family, so I


    have to leave now." He pointed at his secretary and said, "Steve knows most of the people here. Let


    him introduce them to you."


    Kent was very happy, he still looked gentle. "Mr. Joey, please go. Family is more important."


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Joey couldn''t smile anymore. He handed the ss to Steve, turned around and left the party in a hurry.


    While driving, Joey thought of the words of Kent, "Mr. Joey, please go. Family is more important.".


    He looked at the traffic with cold eyes. He knew clearly that Kent was mocking him for losing his family


    as a sessful man.


    Joey''s mouth twitched. Somehow, when he saw Kent, he had a sense of crisis. He knew very well that


    Lois didn''t have an improper desire for Kent, but when he saw Kent, he couldn''t help but tighten his


    body to guard against the man who seemed to be powerless.


    He didn''t dare to admit that if Lois and Kent had been together at the beginning, they would have been


    much happier than now. At least, they would take good care of each other and even share sweet love


    that most women pursued.


    He couldn''t give these to Lois, not only because of Sally, but also because he was a cold faced person.


    He didn''t like to smile or care about others since childhood, and also because he was good at saying


    something bad.


    Depressed, Joey turned the steering wheel and drove into the vi.


    Joey stopped the car, but he didn''t get off. He thought that except for the fever of Maggie yesterday,


    Lois hadn''t contacted him for a long time. He was a little depressed. She stayed in the hospital all day


    long, but she didn''t even call him. She didn''t even have this husband in her heart!


    He remembered that when he went to the hospital yesterday, Lois was busy with work on an


    intravenous drip. He felt sorry for her but also med her.


    If she wanted a job, she could tell him. He could help her arrange a position. In a bigpany like Gu


    Consortium, even if she was only a leader at the medium level or above, she would get more


    knowledgeable than the boss of a smallpany like a studio!


    Joey sighed in his heart. She was always so stubborn and strong. Even if he had arranged something


    for her in Gu Consortium, she would probably ignore his kindness.


    Maggie had already fallen asleep. Joey went to the study to finish his work and then he went back to


    his room to rest as well.

 Chapter 33 Who Else

    Chapter 33 Who Else


    On the next day, Joey fed porridge to Maggie, who looked at him with big eyes and begging.


    After feeding her, Joey pinched her little face and said, "when Mommy is out of the hospital, daddy will


    take her back. Maggie will have a good rest at home, okay?"


    Maggie nodded seriously and continued to throw away the antipyretics in private. As long as she was in


    bad health, she would definitely see her mother!


    Looking at the documents in his hands, Joey thought of the tired look of Lois. He called his secretary


    and asked him to investigate the needs of Lois''spany.


    Steve nodded and left the office.


    Joey was in the middle of a meeting when Steve came back. He didn''t like to be disturbed during the


    meeting. He nced at Steve coldly and continued to listen to his subordinates to report the process.


    Steve stopped by the door with the investigation material in his arms. Thinking of the several sses of


    liquor yesterday, he trembled his legs and stomach but dared not move again.


    Sitting on a new leather chair, Joey looked at the documents in his hand and said casually, "I remember


    that our business in C City has been monopolized by JF Group and NL Group, right?"


    "Yes, sir." Steve replied.


    Joey threw the documents in his hands on the table and said casually, "go and give them some hints


    and give Mrs. Gu a present!"


    Steve nodded and was about to go out, but was stopped by Joey, "what are you going to do?"


    "I''ll give them a hint..."


    Joey rubbed his chin and said, "Well...It seems two are not enough... "


    Steve came to his senses and said, "I see!"


    As soon as Steve walked to the door, he was stopped by Joey. "You know what is a hint, don''t you?"


    Steve was shocked. The CEO wanted to do it without leaving his name!


    Joey threw the pen on the table and said, "go ahead! Don''t screw it up! "


    Steve came back before work.


    He wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Joey ignored him and continued writing


    the cooperation n.


    Steve didn''t dare to say anything, waiting for Joey to speak.


    Until it was time to get off work. Joey looked at his watch, saved the cooperation case and turned off


    hisptop.


    Steve still didn''t say a word. Joey was a little unhappy, "what are you trying to say? Did you screw it


    up?"


    Steve looked at the normal expression on Joey''s face and said roughly, "recently, in addition to you,


    there have been people secretly paying attention to Mrs. Gu''spany, and..."


    Joey''s face darkened. Raising his eyebrows, he let Steve continue.


    "What''s more, Mrs. Gu''spany has been on track recently. You won''t be of much help..."Or don''t do


    her a favor.


    Before Steve could finish his words, he was interrupted by Joey''s gloomy voice, "say it again!"


    Steve lowered his head and didn''t dare to say anything more. Joey snorted coldly and ignored him.


    Leaning against the chair, Joey crossed his legs over the desk and asked, "have you finished what I


    asked you to do?"


    "Not yet... "


    "You can''t even finish such a thing in a whole afternoon? When you first joined thepany, you said


    you were the most efficient one, but that''s all. " Joey nced at him again.


    Steve suddenly thought of his year-end bonus. He gritted his teeth and endured the unfair treatment. "I


    have thought too much today. I will finish it before tomorrow."


    "Okay." Joey stood up and walked to the desk. He patted Steve on the shoulder and said, "thank you."


    Steve forced a smile and lowered his head, but his heart was more bitter than a smile.


    Joey left the office, but his mood sank to the bottom. There were only a few people who would help


    Lois. Tania and... Kent. What annoyed him most was that Tania didn''t have such a big power.


    Joey''s eyes were full of gloom. His woman didn''t need others to care about her? Did they think he was


    dead!


    Thinking of Maggie''s illness, Lois''s hand trembled slightly, as she was dealing with the document.


    Recently, there were more and more things in thepany, and she was so busy every day that she


    could not think of the terrible reality. She could only spin crazily like a spinning top.


    But it was unfair to the child.


    When Lois signed her name under thest cooperation n, Tania pushed the door open and came in.


    Lois put down the cooperation case, put the pen on the bedside table, and looked at Tania with a smile.


    "Why are you free today?"


    Tania picked up the bag in her hand and said, "here. breakfast."


    With a smile in her eyes, the dimples at the corners of Lois''s mouth were partly hidden and partly


    visible. Tania didn''t juste to deliver food to her, but she felt satisfied when someone came to see


    her asionally.


    Tania set up a small table and put the breakfast on the table beside the bed.


    Confused, Lois looked at Tania. What did she mean?


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Tania took out the monthly employee bill and cooperation process of Lois''spany from her


    briefcase, and put a list of cooperation for the next half month on the small table in front of Lois.


    "I put forward the bonus system for employees in thepany. If you don''t like it, you can revise it.


    Make a new n next month. " Tania took out the employee bill, took out a pen from the pocket of her


    lady''s suit and drew circles to exin the data, bonus, overtime pay andbor share to Lois.


    Lowering her head, Lois saw the vigorous data and the two words "Lois Shen" in the signature file.


    Well, it was Tania''s own decision.


    She knew that Tania had tampered with it, or there wouldn''t be so many documents for her to deal with


    in thepany. However, Tania had used money to push people.


    Thinking of theining eyes of the little secretary, Lois sighed helplessly.


    Ignoring Lois''s distraction, Tania exined the bill herself, and then pulled out a cooperation process


    from below. She bent down and exined the progress and general profit of each contract in detail.


    Staring nkly at the document in her hand, Lois couldn''t believe that her subordinates could make so


    many achievements. They were so close to her original team.


    Tania sighed slightly. If her own group could work half hard as Lois''s staff, Now she should have been


    on the rich list!


    Raising her head to look at Tania, Lois asked, "Why are you sighing?"


    Tania shook her head and pulled out the cooperation list from the bottom. "You have to memorize these


    names recently. Remember the names of the partners, general manager and chairman of these


    companies."


    Lois nodded. It''s necessary. Otherwise, it would be too insincere if you couldn''t even call her up.


    Tania continued to circle the names of two industrypanies, "as forpanies like BY Group and


    JF Group, you have to memorize all the managers and above. Even if you can''t remember their names,


    you have to remember theirst names!"


    With a sigh, Lois sneered, "I finally know why I wanted to marry Joey so much..."


    Tania poked her forehead and said, "enough! You bad girl! "

 Chapter 34 Discharging From Hospital

    Chapter 34 Discharging From Hospital


    Looking at the profit on the report, Lois looked up at Tania in confusion, "why did you suddenly mention


    this to me?"


    Tania said casually, "on one hand, it''s at the end of the month. On the other hand, mypany has


    been busy recently. I may not be able to help you like this in the future. I have to make it clear to you.


    You have to support yourself."


    Tania didn''t say that it was because the development of Lois''spany was too smooth recently. She


    felt something was wrong, but she couldn''t tell what it was.


    Lois looked at the increasing profit on the report, confused, but said nothing.


    Now, she had something more important to do.


    "I''m discharging from hospital." Said Lois casually, tidying up the data in her hand.


    "Yes, You''ve been in the hospital for too long. You may be sick even if you are not sick."


    Tania raised her left wrist and said, "it''s almost eight o''clock now. When the nursees to check the


    room and there''s nothing unexpected, we can discharge the hospital."


    Lois looked at Tania. She admired Tania very much. She could face the pressure bravely and do


    everything quickly.


    When the nurse was making the rounds of the wards, Tania proposed to discharge the hospital.


    After a while, the doctor came with the case list.


    "She is still very weak, but it''s okay for her to go home for recuperation. Remember to eat more light


    food and red dates with thin meat. Your blood pressure is still low. "


    Lois nodded. Tania started to ask about Lois''s condition.


    The doctor kept silent for a while and then said, "I advise you to think about something happy every


    day. Your disease is not entirely a disease of umting efforts. Most of it is because that you kept


    yourself in a low mood for too long time. You should make yourself happy."


    The doctor wrote down notes on the case and said lightly, "if you don''t want to see me again, you''d


    better have a good rest, such as you need to not read a lot of documents every day like now."


    Tania answered yes. Few doctors nowadays were so kind to make you stay in hospital less!


    Seeing the doctor leave, Lois breathed a sigh of relief. She changed into her usual clothes, simply


    packed up and left with Tania.


    "Where is your car?" Tania thought of something important.


    "It''s parked at thepany. I''ll take a taxi to thepany this afternoon. Let''s go back home first."


    After thinking for a while, Lois chose to answer a part.


    "Okay!"


    The two of them went to Tania''s house together. Lois''s rent had expired, and Tania temporarily put all


    her things in her own house.


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    The two tidied up Lois''s luggage and clothes and drove to Lois''s new house.


    Tania pushed in the door and turned on the light in the living room. "I''ve paid the down payment for you.


    This family has moved outpletely. From now on, you can transfer money to his bank card monthly."


    Looking at the interior decoration, Lois walked in with her suitcase.


    "This house is about one hundred and eighty square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, a


    kitchen and three bathrooms, and a balcony."


    Tania took Lois to the kitchen and said, "there are all kinds of pots and pans for cooking. All these are


    arranged by your ideas. And... "


    Turning to look at the silent Tania, Lois asked, "and what?"


    Tania shrugged, "and the children''s room. Do you want to have a look? "


    Lois smiled brightly, "thank you!"


    Tania left the kitchen while Lois followed her quickly.


    In the children''s room, there was an independent bathroom, a children''s bathtub and a shower. The


    seats were all small, and it was easy for Maggie to go up and down when she was a little older.


    "The owner of this house used to be an IT elite, butter he divorced. His wife left with an old rich man,


    and the man also nned to go abroad for development. I happened to be looking for a house recently,


    so he transferred it to me."


    There was nothing wrong with Tania''s tone, but Lois could feel some sigh from her words. She sighed


    helplessly for the reality.


    Lois looked around. There were many toys in the children''s room, but they were not suitable for Maggie


    to y. She was too young to enjoy these toys.


    The small desk was very exquisite, and there was a smalldder beside the bookshelf, which was not


    high. It was obvious that it was prepared for the child.


    "Do you want to go to check the study?"


    Lois smiled at Tania, "let''s go."


    After the two of them finished visiting the new residence, Tania suddenly said, "I know you can''t get


    used to other people''s beds. I''ve changed the bed, and bought new bed sheets and other things. I also


    prepared another set in the cab, which you can rece it."


    Lois looked at Tania, who looked like her confidant, and said, "thank you."


    "Don''t worry. We are all on our own." Tania looked at her watch and said, "I have a meeting at ten


    o''clock. I''m leaving now. You can put your things away!"


    "Okay."


    After sending Tania away, Lois went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Perhaps it was because she


    had just moved in, Lois always felt a little uneasy.


    Lois changed into a white medium half sleeve shirt, a gray short skirt, and a khaki long single dress.


    She seldom wore off season clothes. Looking at herself in the mirror, although she only wore a skirt,


    she still looked stuffy.


    She rolled up her sleeves into seven level sleeves, which made her look cooler.


    With themon Patek Philippe watch, Lois thought that the only dissatisfaction was her long straight


    ck hair.


    In the end, she sat in the hairdresser''s room and cut off the long hair that stretched to her waist. It was


    just like this dpidated marriage that was broken up.


    Then Lois went to thepany by taxi. All the staff were working hard, and they were surprised to see


    their boss fall from the sky.


    "You can continue. The Secretary Department bring the handled contracts and documents in to me


    please." Lois kept walking to the office as said so.


    The secretary came in with a cup of coffee. Lois reviewed the documents which were urgent, and


    asked the little secretary about the current situation of thepany. Finally, she asked her to inform all


    departments of a meeting.


    During the meeting, Lois exined the ws in the recent work and the loopholes in the contract in


    detail.


    In the end, Lois concluded, "I don''t have time to clean your ass, but to hook up with your achievements.


    From now on, all the documents will be handed over by your department manager."


    After the meeting, Lois leaned against the back of the chair and thought about the expansion of the


    company. Tania''spany nned to move out after the expansion. If she moved after that, it would


    be no problem.


    When Joey was scolding the personnel department and the sales department with a frown, Steve


    knocked on the door of the meeting room.


    Joey''s reprimand suddenly stopped. He cast a cold nce at the door and said in a deep voice, e


    in."


    Steve came in with the phone in his hand. Looking at the phone in the Secretary''s hand, Joey smiled


    and said, "that''s best to be an important call.".


    Steve handed the phone over. The coldness in Joey''s eyes faded away as he looked at the name on


    the screen.


    The phone suddenly stopped ringing. Joey stopped as he was about to pick up. The people in the


    meeting room didn''t dare to breathe heavily, just waiting for Steve''s suffer.

 Chapter 35 How Dare You Come To See Her

    Chapter 35 How Dare You Come To See Her


    But in a few seconds, the phone rang again. Joey took the phone and asked, "what''s up?"


    "I''m at the gate of Gu Family." Said Lois indifferently.


    "So what?"


    "I''ll wait for you toe back."


    Before Joey could say "Okay", the phone was hung up.


    Although he was unhappy to be hung up, Joey was still excited because of the words "I''ll wait for you to


    come back".


    Lois continued to read the documents and waited quietly for Joey to get off work.


    Joey continued to listen to the report, but didn''t lose his temper any more. He only said what was


    feasible and what was not feasible for the work.


    The senior executives in the meeting room couldn''t help but look at each other. Today was a good


    opportunity. The CEO was in a good mood. If there was anything difficult, they could also bring it up


    and discuss it together!


    Then everyone found that Joey pointed out the problem directly which when she would be angry with


    normally. Although his eyes were still cold, he didn''t scold others anymore.


    Joey''s voice became colder and colder. He suddenly felt that he had raised a group of useless men,


    who were good at earning and welfare. But when it came to work, they always asked him questions!


    Finally, Joey couldn''t stand it anymore and asked the sales department, "what''s wrong with your brain?


    !"


    Everyone kept silent.


    Joey strode out of the meeting room, took his suit jacket and car key from the office and hurried


    downstairs.


    The senior executives of bigpanies were not idiots. The HR manager and the sales manager got


    close to Steve and whispered, "who was calling the president today?"


    Steve stood up and stammered, "Mrs. Gu... "


    As for which Mrs.dy, just let them think about it!


    Joey drove back to Gu Family''s house and saw Lois''s car parking on the side of the road. Lois was


    reading documents with her head down in the car. She was wearing a khaki coat, and her hair was


    dyed with light khaki. The curly hair at the end of her hair made her gentle and elegant.


    Joey honked the car horn. Lois reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the documents. Looking at her


    confused expression through the window, he smiled slightly.


    Lois saw that Joey''s car was parked not far away. The sun was so bright that she couldn''t see Joey


    clearly and couldn''t guess what he was thinking about.


    It was not five o''clock yet when Lois raised her wrist to check the time. She didn''t expect that Joey


    would finish his work earlier. She had thought that she would continue to tangle with that man. Now she


    was relieved.


    Lois put down the documents, pulled out the key, opened the door and got out of the car.


    Looking at Lois''s clothes, [Joey snorted in his heart, ''I haven''t seen you take care of yourself at home.


    You''ve learned to be bad in just a few days!''!


    Looking at the light colored pointed shoes at the feet of Lois, he was even more displeased. But when


    he remembered that she had just been discharged from the hospital. She should wear these shoes for


    him, he was secretly satisfied.


    When Lois walked to the car, Joey sat still in the car. Lois slightly bent down and gently knocked on the


    window.


    Joey rolled down the car window. With a thinyer of make-up on Lois''s face, the light fragrance of her


    hair spread into his nose. Lois''s slightly pursed lips were covered with light lip gloss.


    Joey looked at the steering wheel and pretended to be indifferent. "What''s up?"


    Lois was stunned. She thought he wouldn''t make things difficult for her this time, but she didn''t expect


    that ''Dogs can''t change their preference for shit!''


    "Does Maggie feel better?" asked Lois.


    Joey looked at her with a sneer, "you still care about the child? Don''t you remember what you have


    done? "


    Lois thought of the question that day, and Maggie''s answer still made her heart broken.


    Lois looked into Joey''s cold eyes and said, "I want to see Maggie."


    "How dare youe to see her?"


    Joey''s words made Lois unable to answer. No matter who was right or wrong, it was Maggie who was


    hurt. But she really wanted to see her.


    Looking at the depressed look on Lois''s face, Joey was relieved. "You blocked me here to see the


    child?"


    Lois looked at Joey in surprise. She nodded gratefully and said, "thank you!"


    Joey started the car and drove into the vi. The servant had already opened the gate as he honked


    the horn.


    Lois walked into the vi. Except for her, the vi hadn''t changed in the past few months, but there was


    more loneliness and destion.


    Joey handed the car key to the servant, and then turned to look at Lois.


    Lois had thought that Joey would be the same as before, but it turned out to be so smooth.


    She tried her best to put herself in the right position. As long as she was not arrogant and irritable and


    treated herself as a person who had nothing to do with Joey, Joey would not be angry. If she gave in at


    the right time, his attitude would be better.


    Joey saw Lois slowly walking towards him. The two white legs made him dizzy. Except for half of her


    wrist and white neck, her upper body was no longer exposed to the air.


    Thebination of abstinence and exposure made his mouth dry.


    Walking up to Joey, Lois looked down at his cold and indifferent face. Sheforted herself, "wait a


    minute. Wait a minute. I''ve already known what kind of person Joey is. He''s just hurting people all the


    time.".


    She silently pretended to be waiting for training, but in the eyes of Joey, It was that she became


    obedient and obedient. His heart was softened. He wanted to stretch out his hand to rub her hair to see


    if it felt the same as their daughter''s, but she gently shrank.

    Joey withdrew his big hand, ming himself for being too cold to make her repel and fear.


    "Follow me." Joey walked towards the vi first.


    Lois breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Joey would beat her up just now.


    The servant opened the door for Joey. Seeing that Lois was following Joey, she called softly, "Mrs. Gu."


    Lois didn''t say a word. Joey stopped for a while and then continued to walk upstairs.


    Seeing that he was not angry, Lois confirmed what she thought was correct. She hurried to follow him.


    When they arrived at the Princess Room on the second floor, Joey saw the servant standing outside


    the door. He frowned and asked, "where is Maggie?"


    The servant lowered her head and replied, "Little Miss Maggie just fell asleep."


    Lois was stunned. This person came from Gu Family''s old house. Except for the people from Gu


    Family''s old house, all the servants in the vi called Maggie Miss Maggie.


    Joey gently pushed the door open. Looking at Maggie''s sleeping face, he quietly entered the room.


    Lois also followed him quietly. The servant next to her whispered, "Young Mrs. Gu."


    Hearing that, Lois was stunned but nodded slightly. After entering the room, she answered in her heart,


    "I will not be very soon, very soon...".


    The room was neither messy nor neat. She frowned and looked around. The dolls she had bought for


    Maggie were all there, but a few porcin products were gone.


    Even the little Pooh Toy, which always slept beside Maggie, was either not at the bedside.

 Chapter 36 Why Is She Doing So

    Chapter 36 Why Is She Doing So


    Joey turned to look at Lois. Lois didn''t say anything BUT walked past him to Maggie.


    She walked quietly to the bedside, squatted down and touched the little fellow''s eyes whose brows that


    were simr to hers.


    Seeing that Lois was about to cry, Joey couldn''t help but turn his head away. "She just fell asleep. Don''t


    disturb her."


    Hearing that, Lois''s fingers trembled. She looked up at Joey and said in a low voice, "I want to wait for


    her to wake up."


    Looking at her pleading face, Joey turned to look at other ces and said softly, "it''s good that you


    don''t wake her up."


    Looking at Maggie who had just fallen asleep, Lois felt sad but happy. The sweet and bitter feeling


    spread in her heart. She smiled happily and looked at Joey. "Can I help her tidy up the room?"


    Joey remembered that Maggie had never allowed anyone to touch the decorations in her room.


    Thinking of the tacit understanding and little secrets between Lois and Maggie, he nodded.


    Lois was overjoyed. She stood up and put the previous dolls and little toys in their original positions,


    and then put the toys into the drawer beside the childdder


    Looking at the room which looked eight percent like it was before, Lois was a little disappointed. She


    looked at Joey and asked, "can you put back the change jars and cartoon characters?"


    Joey frowned and said, "we''d better wait for her to grow up. It''s not good that those may hurt her hands


    and feet if those things are broken."


    Lois was not reconciled, but she felt relieved when she thought that Maggie was about to leave.


    She folded the clothes thrown anywhere by the little girl and the clothes washed by the servants and


    put them in the closet. Looking at the little girl''s room restored bit by bit, Lois smiled with satisfaction.


    She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already half past five. She looked at Joey, and he was also


    looking at her. His starry eyes were like a ck hole, almost devouring her.


    Hearing that, Lois''s breath trembled and she lowered her head. "I want to cook something for her."


    Noticing that Lois''s eyshes trembled slightly, Joey asked in a slow tone, "won''t you stay with her?"


    All of a sudden, he didn''t want her to leave this room. He just wanted her to stay in their small house


    and protect their family with him together.


    Lois didn''t have these messy thoughts. She just wanted to give more care and surprise to her daughter.


    She looked up at Joey and shook her head. "I just want to cook something delicious for Maggie. She


    will have a bad appetite if she gets sick."


    Joey knew this very well. The two of them went out together. He asked the servant to take good care of


    Maggie, and then went downstairs with Lois.


    Taking off her long clothes and putting them on the dining chair in the living room, Lois expertly took out


    thin meat and red dates from the fridge.


    Standing aside, Joey watched Lois cooking porridge, soup and fruit sd.


    Joey walked to Lois and asked, "when did you learn to do this?"


    "Ah!"


    Lois eximed. Looking at Joey, who was standing right in front of her, she blinked her eyes to calm


    herself down.


    Joey frowned. Did he scare her like this?


    Not daring to say anything, Lois had to continue to make the sd with her head down. She tried to


    ignore Joey beside her.


    Joey thought that Lois was frightened by him so he got in a bad mood, but he didn''t say anything. He


    just watched Lois busy.


    Without the interruption of Joey, Lois felt much better. She thought that she would have her own house


    and a small family belonging to her and Maggie in the future. Although she couldn''t give the little girl a


    noble identity, she was willing to give the best to the little girl and let her live a happy and carefree life.


    While putting the sd on the te, Lois was imagining a bright future. She cherished this short


    happiness very much, but more was her expectation for the future.


    Joey looked at Lois, who was different from the one he hated in the hospital. Now she seemed to be


    full of sunshine, which could light up all the dark corners.


    She was like a spring, full of vitality and purity, making people want to be close, but afraid to be


    harmed.


    Lois stirred the porridge in the pot, scooped out a little and tasted it.


    Her eyes met Joey''s, who was looking at her eagerly. Thinking of her own bad attitude just now, she


    put the spoon close to him and said, "do you want to have a try?"


    Joey was still expressionless, but his heart was softer. He took the spoon and took a sip.


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    The sweetness of the dates filled his mouth. He nodded and praised, "it tastes good."


    Lois smiled. This was the first time that Joey praised her. Perhaps it was because she was about to


    leave with the child so she got a little grateful to him, Lois felt that Joey was surprisingly easy to get


    along with today.


    Lois opened the pot and found that the chicken drumsticks had been stewed to bone. She covered the


    pot lid and changed the fire into smaller.


    "What''s Maggie''s favorite food?" Joey asked.


    Lois thought of her daughter''s cute look and she shared it with Joey, "the little girl likes eating noodles.


    She likes to suck in it the most."


    Joey nodded, "I used to like noodles as well when I was a child."


    "It makes sense."


    Lois ignored him. He hadn''t given his daughter any warmth in the past five years. How could he say


    that his daughter looked like her father?


    Seeing that Lois was stirring the porridge gently, Joey turned to look at the extinguished light under the


    chicken soup and said, "all the unhappiness in the past has passed. You can move back sometime."


    Upon hearing this, Lois stopped what she was doing and looked at Joey in surprise. She looked at the


    man with a cold face in disbelief. Did he just ask her to move back?


    Thinking of thecent look on Sally''s face, Lois sneered in her heart, ''that''s right. How could the


    elders of Gu Family allow Joey to marry Sally?''?


    It was probably not because Joey didn''t want to leave her daughter. It was more likely that Sally and


    Joey hated her. As long as she lived in Gu Family all the time, they had the reason to torture her for a


    lifetime.


    However, at this time, Lois didn''t want to argue with Joey. The main purpose of hering here was to


    see her daughter, not to talk about the "reconcile" with Joey.


    Looking at the indifferent sneer on Lois''s face, Joey was a little unhappy. He tried to persuade her


    again stiffly, "Maggie needs you."


    Lois was speechless. For her, Joey had no power to threaten her except taking out her child. But


    wasn''t Maggie his child either? How about letting her go for the sake of the child?


    Looking at the indifferent expression on Lois''s face, Joey felt depressed. He couldn''t understand what


    was in Lois''s mind. Was she ming that he had been cold to her for so many years? Was it because


    he was always busy with his work and social engagements regardless of his family?


    But it didn''t seem to be the case. Lois had never been so tormented that he ignored her toughness and


    due arrogance at the beginning.


    "I don''t know why you are doing so, but I still hope you can think about this family and the feelings of


    the kid. She won''t be willing to live with a single parent. You should have known itst time in the


    hospital."

 Chapter 37 Gu Consortium Compromised, A Defeated Result

    Chapter 37 Gu Consortium Compromised, A Defeated Result


    Lois looked at Joey. It was the first time that he had talked so much to her calmly, but she was annoyed


    and disdainful.


    If she didn''t have to stay in Gu Family for a while, she might have left right moment!


    "Okay." Lois looked at the porridge in the pot and said, "the porridge is almost ready. I''m going to see


    Maggie."


    She took out two soup bowls, filled the bowl with porridge and soup, and put the sd on the tray. After


    finishing all these, She still didn''t give Joey a reply but went upstairs.


    Watching Lois go upstairs, Joey was discouraged. He had never dealt with family affairs, nor cared


    about them. However, this kind of torture had consumed most of his energy.


    He didn''t understand why Lois had a good attitude at the beginning, but suddenly became cold to him


    because he asked her to move back. They almost turned against each other.


    Seeing that the family became lively again as Lois came back, Joey felt very satisfied. She thought that


    if Lois had any requirements or rules, he could even make some concessions as long as she didn''t go


    too far.


    Thinking of this, Joey went upstairs to the Princess Room.


    Maggie had woken up. The food on the tray was put aside, and the mother and daughter were


    whispering intimately. The little girl was speaking that Lois hadn''t been home for a long time so she


    hadn''t yed the puzzle game for a long time.


    Joey''s heart skipped a beat. Puzzle Game, He had never heard of this word in Maggie''s moths before.


    She kept all her and Lois''s daily lives but never shared them with him.


    Joey left the Princess Pce in disappointment and went downstairs with a frown.


    He didn''t know since when Maggie didn''t pay attention on this father. He vaguely remembered that


    when he came back home early, the little girl looked at him secretly. Her eyes were shining with


    admiration,parable to all the bright stars in the world.


    Since when, Lois and Maggie were getting farther and farther away from him? He didn''t know and


    couldn''t figure it out.


    It was already eight o''clock in the evening after Lois fed Maggie. During this period, no one disturbed


    them except the servants who came to take the girl''s temperature.


    After ying for more than an hour, Maggie finally couldn''t hold on any longer. She yawned frequently,


    but tried to smile and continue to y with Lois.


    Lois held Maggie in her arms and patted her back gently. A few minutes ago, the little girl asked her


    mother to tell her a story, but she fell asleep before the end of the story.


    Lois''s story didn''t stop, and her hands were still patting Maggie''s back unhurriedly. At the same time,


    she had already stood up and put the little girl on the bed.


    Noticing that the temperature dropped and Maggie''s crying face was about to open her eyes, Lois


    hurriedly patted her back a few more times.


    Maggie gradually adapted to the new environment. She withdrew the corners of her mouth and


    returned to her expressionless face when she was asleep.


    Lois looked at the little girl''s little face. Maggie''s face was very soft, like her oval face, her eyes and


    eyebrows were also very simr to her, but her thin lips, which were exactly the same as Joey''s, looked


    a little cold.


    She could almost foresee that Maggie would look like a cold beauty when she grew up. Her lips were


    too thin and cold, but she just didn''t want Maggie to look like her but Joey. She would rather her to be a


    burden than be a burden by others.


    Looking at Maggie sleeping soundly, Lois bent over and kissed her on the forehead. She pinched her


    cheek lovingly and said, "good night, baby."


    Lois stood up and left the Princess Pce. She gently closed the door and looked at the servant at the


    door. It was the woman who called her Young Mrs. Gu at the beginning. She smiled and said, "did Mrs.


    Gu ask you toe here?"


    "Yes, Young Mrs. Gu." The maid nodded.


    "Has anything happened in the vi recently?" asked Lois tentatively


    "I''m only responsible for protecting Little Miss Maggie. I don''t worry about anything else."


    Hearing her answer, Lois was satisfied, but she didn''t show it on her face. She nodded, turned around


    and went downstairs.


    Lois went to the living room downstairs, put on her long clothes, pulled out her chestnut colored hair


    and looked at Joey.


    Joey was also looking at her, and her eyes were still deep which she couldn''t understand. Lois looked


    at the cigarette end at Joey''s fingertips. The ashtray on the tea table in front of him was almost full.


    Lois had never seen Joey like this. He had always been self-discipline. He always wore a shirt and a


    suit, looking like a tall elite.


    Although he looked a littlezy and undisciplined, he was more unreal. Joey had always been an


    arrogant person in his heart. When had he never been so sad?


    Thinking of him and Sally, Lois felt bad, but she still felt pity for him. He just fell in love with a woman


    who admired vanity.


    Lois took out the car key from her pocket and said, "Maggie has fallen asleep. It''s gettingte. I should


    go back now. Bye."


    "Lois." A hoarse male voice came from behind.


    She stopped and walked to the door without looking back.


    Joey threw the cigarette butt and strode to catch up with her. "Lois Shen!"


    Hearing the footsteps behind her, Lois also quickened her pace.


    However, her legs were not as long as Joey''s. When her fingers touched the car door, Joey turned her


    over and pressed her against the door.


    He was so strong as if he was going to nail her to the door. The pain from her back almost made her


    tremble.


    Joey tried to calm down. He didn''t dare to say anything. When he saw Lois reaching for the doorknob,


    he almost thought that she was about to leave his world.


    Taking a deep breath, Joey stared at Lois and said, "I''ll give you thest chance. Stay here."


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Lois looked at him coldly, pursing her lips and saying nothing.


    Joey hated her so much and showed no mercy to her. He gritted his teeth and smiled, revealing his


    ghastly white teeth. "If you still insist on divorcing, or even try to take the child away..."


    He got close to Lois and said, "you should know both Gu Family and me. How easy do you think you


    can survive after offending me? "


    Lois''s lips tightened, and there was no fear in her eyes. She looked at Joey coldly.


    Joey knew that his words were a little harsh, but she was afraid that it would hurt Lois''s self-esteem.


    Looking down at Lois''s fearless face, Joey touched her face and gently held her in her arms. "Lois,


    don''t make trouble for me. Come home."


    Looking at Joey in front of her, Lois sneered, with self-mockery and sarcasm in her eyes.


    Joey held her in his arms gently. The embrace was as cold as before, but the smell had changed into


    the smell of tobo that she didn''t like.


    Lois was a little speechless. Was she so trouble making in Joey''s heart? She thought that the seven


    years she had been in love with him might be the end of her seven-year itch. She suddenly realized


    that she no longer loved Joey so much, or that her expectations for him fell into the abyss of despair.


    After that, she no longer had any reason to insist on loving him, so she could only endure the pain to


    give up.

 Chapter 38 The Reason

    Chapter 38 The Reason


    "Joey Gu." She called his name in his arms motionlessly, but her voice was even colder than the man''s


    embrace.


    Lois sneered, "do you know why I want to divorce you?"


    She could feel that Joey''s body was stiff. The lump in her throat rushed to the tear nd all of a


    sudden. She had promised herself not to sink anymore, but tears would still flow out.


    She continued in a cold voice, "you don''t know, do you know where your wedding ring is?"


    Joey didn''t say anything. Lois continued, "on April 20th, I saw Sally throw the wedding ring on your left


    hand into the trash can. From that day on, I knew that I couldn''t trust you for the rest of my life!"


    Joey tensed up, but he listened carefully to her cold voice out of habit.


    "You probably don''t know how much I have put up with you. You are domineering, selfish. Except for


    taking back the money from work and social activities, you have no sense of responsibility for this


    family, and even for your child!"


    She said in a soft but more horrible tone, "how many times have you hugged her?"


    Joey''s trembling body made Lois feel happy. The happiness and pain intertwined, and the only thing


    that could vent her emotions was tears.


    "I''m fed up with Maggieing back home to ask that her father''s rtionship with a mistress, and


    your indifference to this family because of Sally. It doesn''t matter if you ignore me or not, but you don''t


    deserve to be a father. You are simply heartless!"


    "Enough!" The husky and deep voice was tightened, like the strings of a Violoncello, almost breaking in


    the next second. Joey took a few steps back. He had never known that he was so rebellious?


    A little child asked her mother about her father''s mistress...


    Tears were still welling up from Lois''s eyes. She looked at Joey, who took two steps back, and asked,


    "what? Are you afraid?"


    She walked towards him and seemed to push him into an abyss. Do you want to hear that when I saw


    you and Sally drive away?


    "You don''t know how I felt at that time, do you? I can''t feel my legs, nor can I feel my hands. I''m weak


    all over. There''s only a heart that is almost torn apart. I can''t control my body... "


    "There is only one thought in my mind was to find the evidence that you are responsible for me, to find


    back the ring, to find out the motivation that can make this marriage go on. But where are you? You are


    disying your affection with Sally! "


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Joey looked at her in disbelief, his face turning pale.


    He looked at the corner of Lois''s mouth, desperate and sad. She opened her beautiful eyes, but big


    tears rolled down from her eyes. He suddenly remembered the story book he read when he was a


    child. It was called ''Tears from sharks''.


    Raising her eyebrows, Lois looked at him with a sneer, "Joey Gu, do you think you have the right to say


    stop? We have been done! "


    Joey felt a sharp pain all over his body. He seemed to feel that his hands and feet were out of control


    and his heart was empty.


    Lois turned around and left.


    Joey stood in the living room for a long time. Through the window, he saw that Lois''s car turned on the


    headlights and left. It was not until Joey could no longer see the car light that he came to his senses.


    Trembling, Joey went upstairs. The quarrel between Sally and Lois came to his mind from time to time


    By the way, since Sally came back, Lois and him had no longer been intimate. Lois didn''t even allow


    him to touch her.


    From the dinner party to that day Maggie was sick, to that time because of a dress, he was so bad that


    he pushed her away again and again, farther and farther. Until now, he could no longer pull her back


    Joey held the staircase upstairs, and the servant was still standing outside the door dutifully. Joey


    looked at the servant, and the servant felt that Joey was not in a good condition, as if he was not as


    cold as usual.


    But she still reported dutifully, "Little Miss Maggie''s temperature is normal. We have just measured it."


    Without saying a word, Joey pushed the door open and entered the room.


    He suddenly remembered what he had asked his father before, "why should I marry her! Just because


    she was suitable for this position? I have someone I like! "


    He vaguely remembered his father''s answer, "marrying a person who loves you is much happier than


    marrying a person who loves your money and power."


    Was he happy? Happiness was only in the past. If he could sense it earlier, or if he didn''t squander it,


    he would still be happy now


    Joey looked at his daughter''s sleeping face. He could stop socializing in the future, or leave the


    romantic world behind and not make her sad.


    The daughter was Lois''s, and also his. They were a whole family, a child, a wife and a husband.


    Maggie was the daughter of him and Lois. Lois was his legitimate wife and the mother of his daughter.


    With these factors unchanged, nothing could be considered to be sacrificed.


    Late at night, when the servant took Maggie''s temperature and was about to leave, she saw Joey


    sitting by the window with a faint bruise in his eyes.


    Noticing the tentative look in her eyes, Joey looked up and asked, "how''s Little Miss Maggie?"


    The servant lowered her head in a hurry and said, "Little Miss Maggie has almost recovered, but..."


    Joey''s eyes turned cold, "get out!"


    When the servant saw the coldness in Joey''s eyes, her face shrank slightly. She bowed and left in a


    hurry.


    Seeing the door slowly closed, Joey turned to look at Maggie''s sleeping face. He stood up. A gust of


    cold wind blew outside the door, and he lowered he eyebrows. Now the family was even short of


    people to take care of him. Was this still a family?


    He walked slowly to the bedside of Maggie. The little girl''s face was still pale. Looking at her sleeping


    face, Joey kept like this for two hours.


    He was thinking about how to win back Lois. He was wronged, but he had no way to exin.


    It was indeed difficult to forget the messy things a few days ago, but as long as the rtionship


    between him and Sally waspletely revealed, and let Sally get married with someone as soon as


    possible.it would not be a big problem.


    The servant came in again at three o''clock in the morning. At that time, Joey was holding his mobile


    phone, hesitating whether he should make a call or not. When the servant came in with a medical tray


    in her hand, he turned off the mobile phone screen and watched the servant measure the temperature


    of Maggie.


    The maid, who had always been expressionless, was shocked when she saw the result of the


    thermometer.


    The frightened servant shook her hands and said, "call the doctor! Hurry up! Call the doctor! "


    Joey squinted, "what?"


    He had been depressed for a long time, which made him absent-minded and his tone a little sloppy.


    "Forty Two degree! Little Miss Maggie''s temperature suddenly rose! "


    Joey was suddenly awakened by the reality which like nightmare, which made him restless. The phone


    in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He tried to distinguish reality from dream. When he was dizzy,


    he suddenly thought of the rtionship between him and Lois.

 Chapter 39 Blame

    Chapter 39 me


    Lois might think that he did it on purpose to threaten her with the little girl''s illness.


    His regret in his wrenching heart caught him off guard! Joey staggered back two steps. The life and


    work in the past few days exhausted him so much that he almost wanted to dodge!


    Obviously, the servant was experienced. She made up her mind and ignored Joey''s disappointment.


    She put the thermometer on the medical tray and walked around the children''s bed to make a phone


    call.


    She called Gu Family''s old house directly. She was not in a hurry, but said in a serious tone, "the vi


    needs a Pediatrician here. He should arrive in at most fifteen minutes!"


    As she put down the phone, she hurriedly fetched the alcohol to lower Maggie''s body temperature.


    Afterwards, She finally felt something wrong as she calmed down.


    She looked up at the window and said, "Mr. Joey! How can you keep the window open all the night? "


    In thete summer and early autumn season, she checked the indoor temperature test: 22 degrees.


    Joey seemed to have just felt the temperature in the room. He moved to the window and closed it.


    The doctor came in a hurry in the middle of the night. He worked the half night to drop the temperature


    on Maggie''s forehead.


    Joey had been smoking outside the Princess Room. When the doctor came out, the smoke had


    already filled the two floor. The doctor hurriedly closed the door and advised, "Mr. Joey, for the sake of


    Little Miss Maggie''s health, you''d better smoke less!"


    Joey stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and his hands dropped it stiffly. The bruises on his eyes


    were even more severe. "How is the kid?"


    The doctor sighed slightly and looked at Joey, pushing the ck frame sses on the bridge of his


    nose. "Sir, don''t vent your anger on the child. In this case, If it''s more dangerous and we might not save


    him."


    Hearing the doctor''s words, Joey smiled with self-mockery. He deserved it. Now everyone suspected


    that he hurt his child because his love for Lois, and because he was angry with Lois.


    Seeing that Joey didn''t look well, the doctor softened his voice and said, Mr. Joey, Little Miss Maggie is


    getting worse. I think it''s necessary to inform the elders of the mansion, so that she can receive a more


    suitable treatment."


    Joey got angry and he said in a sharp and ruthless tone, "I can take care of my daughter myself!" In


    other words, what you need to do is your job as a doctor. Don''t get involved in other things!

    The doctor frowned but didn''t say anything to displease Joey.


    Joey walked around the doctor and walked into the Princess Room. Looking at his daughter''s pale and


    haggard face, he squatted down by the bed and gently stroked the little girl''s forehead. "I''m sorry. It''s all


    my fault. Dad didn''t take good care of you."


    The doctor wrote down all the medicine Maggie needed in silence, but the maid was obviously in a


    panic. "Mr. Joey, you can go to wash yourself and have breakfast first. There is still a long time before


    Little Miss Maggie wakes up."


    Joey wanted to ignore the maid''s advice, but he still stood up and left.


    He knew that the smell of his body was not good, and it was even a kind of harm to Maggie. The little


    girl looked like Lois when she was with a slight frown, which was enough to make him understand how


    much she hated the smell of tobo.


    "Take care of Little Miss Maggie."


    After saying that, Joey strode away. When he stood by the door, he turned his head slightly and looked


    at Maggie, who was still frowning and looked pale. Then he went downstairs without hesitation.


    Joey took a shower and shaved his stubble. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt refreshed, if


    ignoring the gray under his eyes.


    Joey looked at the clock hanging by the wall. It was already half past six. Aftering out of the room,


    he went upstairs to see Maggie again. The little girl''s face looked even worse, but the doctor said that


    she had been out of the danger from a high fever, but he was afraid that she needed the assist of


    medicine.


    Without saying a word, Joey turned around and went downstairs. After breakfast, he went to the


    company.


    The maid put down the swab in her hand and looked at the doctor, "should we tell what happened to


    the old main house?"


    The doctor looked at the maid with a frown. He didn''t understand. The old house and the new house


    had always been different. If they acted rashly to offend Mr. Joey, it was true that Mr. Joey didn''t have


    the right to quarrel with Mr. Gu, but as them who worked for the house would suffer.


    But he couldn''t say that. He continued to prepare the medicine with his head down, "whatever."


    The maid finally dialed the number and told the main house what had happened to Maggie, including


    that after she had a fever, Lois hade yesterday, while Mr. Joey had frozen Little Miss Maggie in the


    cold wind at the windowsill.


    Joey overturned his desk when he received the news from the servants of the vi. He worked hard to


    y the show to the old house, but the old man had already nted "spies" around him!


    When he thought he could definitely let it go, the fire in the backyard exposed the whole story!


    "Mr. Joey...Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu just went upstairs. You... "The voice on the other end of the phone was


    trembling. Apparently, she was still in a state of shock in front of the "guest from the old house".


    "Got it. I''ll be right back." Joey put down the phone, put on his suit jacket, picked up the car key and left


    Gu Consortium in a hurry.


    Joey drove back to the vi and strode upstairs. Sure enough, he saw his father Van Gu, and his


    mother, Ynda Qi were both in Maggie''s room "inspecting the situation".


    Turning his head to look at the servant who was taking care of Maggie by the bed, Joey''s eyes


    darkened.


    "You are back." Van Gu said casually, drawing Joey''s attention back. Joey lowered his head to hide the


    angry look in his eyes.


    Seeing her son''s sullen face, Ynda Qi was even angrier. Looking at the weak Maggie, she


    suppressed her displeasure and said gently, "the child is so weak. What did you parents do?"


    Every word of his mother was like a heavy hammer hitting on his heart. Joey had put the heavy burden


    on his heart for many days. At the beginning, he was impatient, but gradually he cared about the truth


    and suddenly found that it was not what he thought. Although he was exhausted, he was eager to be


    understood and supported.


    Different from the usual motherly attitude of Ynda Qi, Van Gu looked at the weak Maggie and


    showed his boredom incisively and vividly. "Didn''t you say that the child is getting better soon! Why


    does she suddenly get worse so fast? "


    Joey remained silent, his father still said coldly, "what did you say to me in Gu Family?"


    Joey thought of the party on the wedding anniversary in May. After that, his father did ask her about the


    "divorce" that Lois had mentioned.


    At first, he thought that Lois just threatened him with marriage, so he prevaricated. Unexpectedly, his


    words turned into the truth.


    Reluctantly, Joey said, "you don''t have to worry about it. I''ll solve it myself."


    However, he didn''t expect that his father would refute him as soon as he spoke. "You solve it yourself?


    You said sost time! What have you done? "

 Chapter 40 Questioning

    Chapter 40 Questioning


    His wife had not returned home, and his child was having a high fever. That was how he dealt with it!


    As Van noticed that Ynda looking at him with disapproval, Van snorted coldly and turned his head


    away.


    Seeing that Van didn''t say anything more, Ynda looked away and turned around to see the tired look


    on Joey''s face. She felt sorry for him.


    "Where is Lois?"


    Joey lowered his head but said nothing.


    Seeing her son''s stubborn look, Ynda said in a low but deep voice, "the child is having a high fever.


    As a father, you are busy with your work. Where on earth has she been as a mother?"


    Joey''s heart sank. He was afraid that this broken family would continue to suffer from external storms.


    He turned his face away and admitted his mistake. "Maggie was almost recovered. It was me who


    opened the windowst night that caused her high fever."


    Ynda was even more depressed. her child had learned to defend others, but why did he me


    himself for everything!


    "Grandma..."Ynda heard her weak voice. Looking at her granddaughter''s pale face and bloodless


    lips, she stepped forward with concern.


    Maggie looked at his grandmother, who she hadn''t seen for a long time, and felt wronged. As soon as


    Ynda pulled the little girl into her arms, she saw that her eyes were already red, and there were two


    teardrops in her eyes. "I want my mother. Can you let here back home?"


    Ynda had always been fond of Maggie. She looked at Joey with disappointment, but coaxed her


    gently, "Okay, grandma let mome back home."


    After a pause, Maggie shook her head and cried, "No. don''t let mome back. She will feel


    ufortable when she gets sick."


    Puzzled, Ynda nced at Joey and scolded, "tell me what happened!"


    Noticing the fear of the little girl in her arms, Ynda gently patted on Maggie''s back and said,


    "Maggie, don''t be afraid. Dad is disobedient. Grandma is talking about Dad!"


    Joey had no choice but to speak out the fact that Lois had been hospitalized a few days ago, in order to


    defend her.


    Van nced at Joey and said, "nothing is your excuse. Even if Lois gets sick all year round, she can''t


    even stay away from Maggie for a few days! Tell me what Maggie meant by "let her mothere


    back"! "


    Joey was speechless. What should he say? Did he say that he didn''t allow Lois to see Maggie and


    made Lois too angry to the hospital?


    Should he that Lois wanted to divorce because she thought he didn''t care about the family, so he


    nned to use the child as a stalling tactic?


    Looking at her son''s slightly embarrassed look, Ynda sighed softly. Were they better when they were


    young? Thinking of Van''s illegitimate child, Ynda patted on Maggie''s back and said, "let the young


    people solve their problems on their own."


    As expected, Van didn''t say anything more. Looking at his mother''s disappointed and helpless


    expression, Joey thought of Van''s romantic affairs, he hated his father more.


    "Grandma, It was so coldst night Maggie was freezing. "The little girl looked at Ynda with her


    misty eyes and she seemed tired.


    Clenching his fists, Joey felt guilty.


    Looking at her son''s expression, Yndapletely believed in Joey''s words. Last night, he really


    kept the window open and let the child suffer the cold with him!


    Ynda held the little girl tightly and patted her on the back to lull her to sleep.


    After Maggie fell asleep, Ynda gently put her down and walked out of the room with Joey and his


    father.


    Joey, a man over 1.8 meters tall, stood in the living room and listened to his mother''s scolding.


    Ynda, who had always been gentle, was not as elegant and indifferent as usual. "Keep open the


    window! Don''t you know how cold the night wind is now? How dare you open the window! Lois hasn''t


    come back yet. Do you really think everyone else is stupid? Why did Sally... "


    All of a sudden, Ynda''s voice stopped. Joey looked up. It was the first time that he had seen his


    mother cry since he grew up. A choked sentence hit Joey and his father like a heavy hammer. "Why do


    you look so much like your father? Have you forgotten how I taught you? "


    The heartache of his mother''s tears almost made Joey out of breath. He lowered his head with red


    eyes and said, "Mom, I''m sorry..."


    "Joey... You said you should be a responsible man... "


    Joey lowered his head. This was his promise when he was young. At that time, he hadn''t met the


    person he liked. He was still a cold but righteous child.


    Ynda patted on Joey''s arm and said, "you''ve grown up, but Lois is a good girl. For so many years,


    she has been trying to y a good wife, a good mother, and even a good daughter-inw. You are very


    busy, but she canpletely tolerate you. You should cherish her. "


    Joey nodded heavily.


    Then Ynda left the vi and went back to her car.


    Van walked up to Joey and said, "I just hope that you can have a harmonious family and more


    communication between husband and wife, so that Maggie can grow up happily."


    Joey nodded. Obviously, he was perfunctory.


    The two of them left one after another. Joey breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt much


    more tired.


    He had been living a dull life as a teenager for many years. His father was busy, and his mother was


    indifferent to him. When he was a teenager, he was confused and a little irritable.


    Sally was his first love. He knew clearly that he didn''t love her deeply, but because of his desire to


    protect her. Till now, he still hoped that he was a hero in Sally''s heart, so he had always been careful to


    hide his fragility and helplessness that others had never known.


    Sally''s emotional change made him tremble with fear, but mostly that he could not bear to be deprived


    of two times by one person.


    One is Identity, and another is lover.


    When he thought of Lois, he knew that she liked him. Her eyes were full of affection, she had


    asionally smiling, and most of them were the night kisses when he "fell asleep" in the middle of the


    night.

    Every time she moved carefully, he would be awakened, but then he still pretended to be asleep for her


    "kiss"


    Thinking of Lois''s insistence on the divorce, the corners of Joey''s lips, which were slightly raised, slowly


    dropped.


    He had no objection to his mother''s words that Lois was a good girl, but once a good girl insisted, he


    was really powerless.


    When Joey was depressed about the marriage between the two of them, Lois''s financial luck flooded


    over.


    The Secretary sorted out the documents and materials that Lois needed during the meeting and


    knocked on the door of Lois''s office.


    "Come in." Lois was looking at the cooperation with JF Group as the door was knocked. Without raising


    her head, she knew that there was only the little secretary at this moment.


    Lois finished reading the contract of the nearestpany, nced at the little secretary in a hurry, and


    lowered her head to sign her name.


    The Secretary wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Lois took out the


    cooperation case of JF Group from the side and threw it in the Secretary''s hand. "Go and ask the


    business department to make a decision on the cooperation of JF Group." she paused for a while and


    said, "as soon as possible!"


    The Secretary picked up the case but stood still.


    Confused, Lois looked up and asked, "what''s wrong?"

 Chapter 41 Kents Scheme

    Chapter 41 Kent''s Scheme


    The Secretary hesitated for a while and said, "Madam, I''m going to travel tomorrow and the day after


    tomorrow. Can I..."


    Lois frowned, "tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"


    "Yes..."


    Lois was stunned. Why did she suddenly tell her that she needed to rest for two days? What about the


    company?


    "tomorrow will not be good. But I can fix it on the day after tomorrow and next day."


    Lois refused bluntly. Even if she had transferred a capable person from Tania, she still needed time to


    adapt. There were three contracts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. She couldn''t make any


    mistake in such a hurry.


    The Secretary bit her lips and said, "I''ve been overwork for half a month in a row. Is it so difficult to ask


    for two days off?"


    Lowering her head, Lois continued to look at the contract, "I gave you more than 2000 bonusst


    month. Is it so difficult for you to hold on for a little longer?


    The Secretary gritted her teeth, threw the documents in her hands on the table, and ran out of the


    office with red eyes.


    Lois understood the little secretary''s emotion. She reached out to take the work card thrown by the little


    secretary. Generally speaking, she was having the normal efficiency and normal quality of the work


    which were eptable.


    Lois picked up the phone and dialed Tania''s number. Tania was reading documents in a daze. When


    she picked up the phone and heard what Lois wanted, sheughed out loud, "Hey, I say, didn''t you ask


    her why she asked for a two-days off?"


    Hearing that, Lois was stunned. If she told her that was about traveling, it would surely attract jokes.


    She changed the topic and said, "check if there is any one who works hard on your side. Adjust it for


    me."


    Lois was very d to call Tania. The little secretary didn''te on the second day, but she did finished


    around 80% of her work, which was a good job.


    When they were talking about the cooperation, the little secretary, who was transferred from Tania, was


    listening. Lois pulled the assistant of the business department and her assistant to negotiate with the


    other party.


    The contract was concluded in a simple and efficient way. With the reason that she had just been


    discharged from the hospital and was not feeling well, Lois asked several senior executives of the


    company tomunicate with the people sent by the otherpany


    Thepany''s development was getting more and more smooth. Tania had jumped out of the scope of


    a medium-sizedpany but became a big boss not inferior to JF Group.


    Not only did Lois intend to do that, but Tania also wanted to expand the scale of Lois''s business.


    Moreover, Tania''s original office still had a two-year lease, and Tania also intended to transfer it to Lois.


    When Lois was hesitating, a phone call came from the office.


    Lois picked up the phone and said in a gentle voice from Kent, "Lois, I''m Kent."


    With the same kind attitude, Lois smiled, "what''s up, Kent?"


    In fact, she wanted to ask Kent how he knew the phone number of her office.


    Kent paused for a moment and said, e out at noon. Let''s have lunch together."


    Lois hesitated for a while. There was a meeting at two o''clock in the afternoon. She wanted to sort out


    the relevant documents and manuscript, now she was caught off guard by the unexpected invitation of


    Kent.


    Hesitating for a while, Lois refused, "Kent, here is the thing. I..."


    "The second western restaurant on golden street. I''ll wait for you there at noon. See you."


    His tone was still gentle, but Lois didn''t interrupt. Before she could exin and refuse, the phone was


    hung up.


    Heaving a sigh, Lois called her secretaries in and asked them to sort out the information rted to the


    pany expansion n". Then She would get familiar with the structure and detailed exnation of


    JF Group as soon as possible, preparing to negotiate with JF Group tomorrow morning.


    All her ns were messed up by Kent. Lois could only me herself for being too soft hearted to


    refuse a person who had once been nice for her.


    It was not until it was time to get off work that Lois took the key to the car, got off the elevator with the


    company''s staff, and drove to the golden street.


    After parking the car in the parking lot, [Lois entered the western restaurant with her handbag.


    Kent had ordered something to drink. Looking at the menu in front of her, Lois admired his


    meticulousness.


    She asked him about his preferences, but she was surprised to know that Kent liked Fillet steak. After


    ordering, Lois drank two mouthfuls of watermelon juice and looked up at Kent who was staring at her.


    "I came too fast." Lois smiled shyly.


    "It seems that you''ve been very busy recently," said Kent, hiding his excitement


    "Yes, very busy." Lois took another sip of watermelon juice and asked, "why did you ask me out for


    dinner today?"


    Kent looked around, lowered his body mysteriously and looked at her cunningly. "Lois, do you want to


    do something big?"


    Lois was stunned. She had never seen Kent behave so mysteriously like an underground organizer


    who sent messages secretly.


    Lois couldn''t helpughing at the look of Kent, so she followed his example and leaned over the table.


    "What''s that?"


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Kent took out a customized book simr to a n from his bag and handed it to Lois, "Here it is."


    Lois looked at Kent and then looked down at the document. She put the watermelon juice in front of her


    aside, opened the document and began to browse.


    This was a new project in the investment field. Since Lois started to invest in business, she had never


    seen such a financial project. It was an investment in the future of the sun, dedicated to the future


    development of allpanies.


    It was more like grasping the lifeblood than investment.


    "This n..."


    "It''s made by me," said Kent, pushing his sses on the bridge of his nose. "I''m going to invest in your


    company."


    Lois was stunned and looked at Kent in disbelief. Although herpany had made a lot of money


    recently, it was nothing for HN Group. Why did he like herpany?


    Taking a sip of coffee, Kent said, "Lois, you must be confused why I chose you."


    Lois didn''t answer, "of course I''m confused.".


    Kent continued, "in China, the people I trust are not in the investment field, and the people in the


    investment field are more or less interested in HN Group, not me. Even if I cooperate with them today,


    if I jump out of HN Group tomorrow, they may refuse to cooperate with me because of my different


    identity."


    But you are rtively stable.


    On this point, Lois and Kent thought the same, but neither of them spoke it out.


    However, what Lois didn''t know was that all the thoughts and words of Kent now had deeper thoughts.


    He was in urgent need of hard conditions topete with Joey. Thepany couldn''tpare with


    Maggie, but if Lois encountered the indifference of Joey, she would definitely not be able to hold on.


    Kent knew that he didn''t need to be on guard against anything else. As long as he defeated Joey and


    broke up the rtionship between the two, he would be the only one who had a rtionship with Lois.


    A shrewd light shed through his gold eyes. Business man valued profit, but he was willing to press


    everything in exchange for the rest of Lois''s life.


    After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Lois still refused the "kindness" of Kent.

 Chapter 42 Keep Going On

    Chapter 42 Keep Going On


    "Kent, I''m afraid mypany has no appetite to swallow this n."


    She was telling the truth. If she had to swallow the n by force, herpany would be either heavily


    damaged or bankrupt.


    Kent shook his head and interrupted Lois. "Lois, you don''t have to worry about it at all. I can find


    experts and I also have ce for you to expand thepany. What I need is only your name and you,


    an external manager."


    Lois was shocked by his words. When she calmed down, she knew that Kent just didn''t want to show


    up. What he was afraid of was HN Group.


    The waiter served the steak. Lois put the napkin on her legs and began to eat with the knife and fork.


    She didn''t return the n to Kent, nor did she take it. She just put it on the table. Fortunately, the main


    page of the n was a white paper, with only three words "n" written on it.


    After the two finished eating, Lois looked at her watch. It was just past one o''clock.


    Seeing that Lois didn''t express his attitude, Kent waited patiently.


    "Kent, this project..."


    "Lois," Kent interrupted Lois, pushing his eyes. "Lois, after leaving Gu Family, the child''s life depends


    on you. Do you think you can hold on?"


    Lois''s face turned pale. She couldn''t hold on. If she could, she wouldn''t have the thought of leaving this


    city. She wouldn''t hold on just because of the suppression of Gu Consortium!


    "Lois, this is a good opportunity. I will invest in it, but I won''t pull you down."


    "Lois, you will still be the chairman of the board in the future. I just need dividend."


    Finally, Lois was moved. She nodded and said, "Kent, I''ll think about it."


    Kent picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, "okay."


    The two of them found a chess club and went to a private room to discuss thepany''s current move


    and subsequent investment in detail.


    The two talked in detail. When Lois noticed the time, the little secretary had already called her in a


    hurry.


    Lois answered indifferently, and heard the little secretary''s hurried words, "the human resources


    department and the business affairs department are about to fight!"


    "I''m going back to thepany right now. Please try tofort them for a while!" After hanging up the


    phone, Lois stood up and said, "Kent, I have something to deal with in thepany, so I have to go


    now."


    Kent stood up to see her off, but was refused by Lois, "I will try to get involved in economic investment


    first. If anything happens, I will contact you."


    Lois picked up the n on the table and left the private room in a hurry.


    When Lois arrived at thepany, the director of the human resources department had rolled up his


    sleeves. Lois pushed the door of the meeting room open and looked at the two noisy men with red


    faces and thick neck. She was a little helpless. She pulled the door open and said, "if you want to fight


    out, don''t make trouble for me here! Go somewhere else!"


    As expected, the two stopped arguing. Looking at the Secretary beside her, Lois raised her chin and


    motioned her to serve tea.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Lois walked to the front of the table and put the documents on it heavily. The people below were not


    children, of course, they would not take seriously to these movements.


    Sitting on the chair, Lois nced around and said, "thepany is a team. Do you want me to say


    these words to you every day?"


    Sure enough, everyone was silent. Lois looked at the Secretary and put the teacups one by one. "Have


    a sip of tea. Let''s talk about thepany''s expansion."


    Everyone looked at Lois in disbelief, as if the ground was exploding. Lois looked at those who were


    usually as steady as mountains, showing an attitude of objection or support. She picked up the cup and


    heavily put it on the table. "Are you all children! Get out if you can not talk nicely! "


    The servants gradually stopped talking. Lois breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I did intend to discuss


    this matter, but I thought about it. Under the condition of sufficient funds, ourpany still has room for


    improvement."


    "That''s why we can expand ourpany when we have enough money and avable territory."


    "I''m fully prepared now. This problem can be solved by the boundary, the n, and even the money. In


    addition to the above problems, you can actively express your attitude."


    ncing at the senior executives in the meeting room, Lois said, "the human resources department


    expressed your opinions first. Everyone, one by one."


    The HR manager was a literary elite. He put down the record in his hand and only reported to the HR


    department''s requirements for thepany. "If thepany needs to be expanded, the HR


    department must recruit a lot of people. Ourpany doesn''t have its own reputation. I don''t think our


    company has the capital to attract attention in this respect."


    Lois nodded with satisfaction, "as for the reputation, I will solve it as soon as possible. You should also


    try your best to recruit talents."


    The little secretary sitting next to her raised her hand. Lois raised the pen in her hand and said, "go


    ahead."


    "I think thepany needs secretaries to expand, and we can set up a secretary department..."


    "I will think about it. Don''t worry."


    Lois interrupted her. Since the little secretary went on a trip against her will, Lois had asked her to train


    the two girls who were transferred from Tania. Now the three girls were on the same start line. She had


    no other advantages except for being more experienced.


    Raising her chin, Lois motioned for the representative of the ountant to make a speech.


    The woman was in her thirties. Her long, straight ck hair was tied up, and she often wore a ck


    business suit. She was calm and capable. "If thepany is expanded, will the welfare and bonus


    system change? And...Are you sure you want to expand it? "


    Lois nodded, "yes. There is no doubt about the expansion, but I will discuss theter bonus system


    with you. Don''t worry about anything else. "


    "Yes, Madam." The ountant answered and sat down.


    Among all the people, only one serious question was asked by human resources, "where does the


    moneye from? Where did the ne from? Where does this cee from? "


    Lois smiledfortably, "that''s a good question. I found a" trustworthy "partner. He was in charge of


    the capital, the n and the territory. All you need to do is to cooperate. "


    As expected, thepany leaped up. On the day when Lois moved thepany to the new territory,


    she invited the staff of thepany to have a good meal and also celebrated with Kent in private.


    In this way, herpany had entered the first tier. Although it was still a little young, it was enough for


    many onlookers to take action.


    The letters of cooperation came one after another. Thepany''s recent operation was so smooth that


    Lois thought it was Kent who manipted it secretly.


    The managers of thepany had a special feeling for the rich men behind thepany, with


    worship, love, and even fantasy.


    Only the managers of thepany knew that Lois had a special rtionship with this silent partner.


    And this mysterious man must be very rich and powerful. There was only one man they could match --


    Lois''s husband, the President of Gu Consortium!

 Chapter 43 Who Was Wearing Infidelity

    Chapter 43 Who Was Wearing Infidelity


    As expected, Lois didn''t disappoint Joey. On the second day, early in the morning, Steve handed the


    investigation materials to him and said, "although Mrs. Lois''s working ability is..."


    Joey raised his hand and interrupted him, "can''t I read it myself? I don''t need you to tell me! "


    ''well, '' Steve thought, ''it''s none of my business!''!


    Joey looked at the report on the document and a sentence caught his attention. "The mysterious


    partner invested in thepany. He is suspected to be Lois''s husband, the president of Gu


    Consortium!"


    Damn it!


    Joey was angry, but he still read it patiently. The more she read, the more she threw out the


    investigation materials. "Don''t you know if I invested it? Did you do it on purpose to make me sick? "


    Lowering his head, Steve kept silent, fearing that he might irritate Joey more.


    Joey kicked the ck leather rotating chair and said, "I''m afraid that the reserve work you did some


    time ago is all attributed to others in my wife''s eyes! You are afraid that I haven''t got a green head,


    aren''t you? "


    Steve''s head was even lower. It was him who asked him to keep it a secret!


    "As for expand the scale of YN Group! Are you afraid that I will know too much if you don''t even tell me


    such a big thing? "


    The secretaries stood outside the door, trembling with documents in their hands. One of them said,


    "Leader has been inside for half an hour. Do we still hand over these work?"This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Other one: "how about we postpone it?"


    Before they could reach an agreement, Steve opened the door and came out with his head down.


    "Group leader..." The secretaries said pitifully.


    "Don''t you have word?" A cold voice came from the door, and the secretaries ran away.


    Sitting in a chair, Joey looked at the words on thest page of the investigation material, "the new star


    company YN Group is hopeful to surpass the first tierpanies like JF Group..."


    Joey thought that among the people that Lois was familiar with, the only one who had the ability to do


    so was Kent. Even if Tania sold all her wealth, she still couldn''t support the transition of Lois''spany.


    Joey called her secretary to find the files with HN Group and asked her to send an invitation to the


    agent of HN Group to discuss the contract in detail.


    Looking at the invitation in his hand, Kent frowned slightly. Since thest time when Joey talked to him


    at the party, a lot of youngdies from rich families had invited him to the party. These were strange to


    him as these girls are traditional. Every time he wanted to refuse, he was afraid of losing a proud


    reputation.


    "Rat-a-tat!"


    "Come in." Kent put the hot post on the table and looked at the assistant in a business suiting in


    with a stack of A4 paper. He was confused.


    The assistant handed the document in his hand to Kent and said, "Mr. Kent, This is from Gu


    Consortium, a contract. He wants to talk about the cooperation with HN Group."


    Kent nodded and took it over. With a smile, he said, "Benjamin, don''t be so nervous. We are here to


    take a holiday and sign the contract by the way, not to sign the contract and take a holiday by a


    chance."


    Benjamin Ji shook his head and said, "Mr. Kent, I''m just used to it."


    Kent helplessly said, "Benjamin, you''re too rigorous. Don''t force yourself to be a working machine. The


    chairman asked you toe here just to make you rx, right?"


    "Mr. Kent, I''m rxed now!"


    Kent: forget it!


    The two sides agreed to have a negotiation in the afternoon of the second day. Joey paid attention to it


    secretly, but found nothing.


    "Mr. Joey, I think it''s necessary for us to negotiate again about the ideal share of this cooperation." In


    the middle of the meeting, Kent suddenly brought it up.


    Joey nodded, "I''ve talked about itst time, but your chairman was in a hurry to go back at that time, so


    he didn''t mention it anymore."


    Kent smiled gratefully and looked at his assistant next to him. The assistant understood and handed


    him the share n Kent had made before.


    Kent handed the n to Joey, who was sitting opposite to him. He opened it and browsed it quickly,


    frowning slightly.


    The jewelrypany under Gu Consortium had always been first-ss in design and perfect working


    ability, and the equipment and materials were no worse than those abroad. However, for HN Group, it


    was absolutely impossible topete with Gu Consortium just by using their territory.


    Then there was only one way left. The territory was owned by Hua Ning, who would provide the


    technology, work and materials of the Gu consortium.


    The jewelry business was always unclear, and the domestic market had beenpletely saturated, so


    five years ago, when the twopanies cooperated, there was no trouble, just because the senior


    executives of the two families were rtively modest.


    Noticing the slight frown on Joey''s face, Kent exined, "the saturation of the foreign luxury market is


    not inferior to that of the domestic market at all. We admit that HN Group is not as rich as Gu


    Consortium, which is one of the reasons why our chairman has never said that he wants to redistribute


    the shares."


    Joey had expected today, Gu Consortium was one of the bestpanies in the country to make


    money, While HN Group was not as big as some first-linepanies abroad, it could be considered


    the mainstay of the upper ss.


    However, in the past few years, Gu Consortium had its own territory, and all the luxury brands in the


    country were provided by Gu Consortium itself. It had never cooperated with HN Group on it.


    However, HN Group would asionally need the support ofGu Consortium. With the support of the


    designers and the raw materials, HN Group had no choice but to give a share to the Gu Consortium.


    Looking at the exorbitant price on the document, Joey sneered, "if HN Group doesn''t need the design


    drawing of Gu Consortium anymore, I can consider the conditions on this document."


    Kent''s face darkened. He shook his head andforted, "Mr. Joey, you misunderstood."


    "We HN Group are sincere in this contract. The quality of the diamonds that Gu Consortium buys from


    abroad every year is not very good. Our chairman happens to have a diamond source. We will


    exchange it with you by low-cost high-quality diamonds."


    "I do refuse." Leaning against the back of the chair, Joey crossed his hands on her abdomen and said,


    "Gu Consortium doesn''t focus on diamonds, but jade. If yourpany can find me a pile of ice and


    ss jade, I can consider this contract."


    Hearing that, Kent gasped for air. He was still too anxious. but thinking of Lois, he could not be more


    anxious!


    "Mr. Joey, there are many people who like diamonds, especially beautiful women. In the jewelry


    industry, we would definitely not like our customers toment on business trips because they disliked


    our own diamonds. I suggest Mr. Joey think it over. "


    Joey looked at Kent but said nothing.


    "Mr. Joey, we HN Group are here with sincerity. We will perfect our own shorings, and then..."


    "At least 30%." Joey waved his hand and made a concession.


    With a hint of joy in his eyes, Kent stood up and stretched out his left hand. "Mr. Joey, wish us a


    pleasant cooperation!"


    Joey also stood up and said with a fake smile, "I''m not very happy. On the one hand, I hope that those


    diamonds will be real good goods. On the other hand, please Mr. Kent could pay more attention on


    yourpany as soon as possible. After all, HN Group doesn''t want his own people to live on their


    own and have Infidelity!"

    Chapter 44 Excited Schoolmates.


    Kent looked at Joey in confusion, as if he didn''t understand what he meant.


    Joey wasn''t in the mood to y dumb with him. "I remember that Mr. Kent majored in management at


    that time, right? Do you have any pursuit of the financial industry? "


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Kent was stunned and said, "no!"


    After the meeting was over, everyone left the meeting room for some activities.


    Joey picked up the coffee in front of him and reminded Kent seemingly unintentionally, "as the general


    manager of HN Group, I advise you not to ignore the identity of the general manager of HN Group for


    personal interests."


    Kent nodded and said, "of course."


    His answer was pretty, but he did deny it in his heart.


    Since most of thepany''s funds had flowed into the research project of B University, Lois had spent


    most of her time in the research project of B University, because of the advice and help of experts. In


    addition, Kent had prepared sufficient information, and the early stage of the new project was very


    smooth.


    Looking at the crystal mold in front of her, Lois turned her head and looked at the professional people


    who were not much older than her. She asked as usual ten times a day, "is that all? Can it be used as a


    lasermp? "


    "That''s it!" The young man was not impatient at all, and there was no doubt in Lois''s eyes, but full of


    interest and curiosity.


    "How many can we prepare in the early stage?" Lois asked again.


    "Maybe... Twenty thousand or thirty thousand. It willst for more than a month after it is put into the


    market. "


    Lois nodded, "can we apply for a patent?"


    The young man turned his head to look at Lois, neither sad nor happy. After a while, he said excitedly,


    "of course!"


    "Why didn''t I think of it! Take it all by ourselves! This is the way to make money! " The man held the


    crystal doll in his hand excitedly and told it his feelings.


    Lois touched her nose and wondered if she was invisible?


    Luoning turned around and left, but kept the patent in mind.


    When Lois returned to thepany, she looked at the neat documents on the table which would be


    needed to be used in the future. She lowered her head and began to deal with them. The excessive


    documents all day long made her even more exhausted. But when she thought of her hope, her dream


    every night for Maggie, no matter how tired she was, she had to resist it. As long as she resisted it, she


    could take back her child.


    In the CEO''s office of Gu Consortium, a young man in blue, ck trousers and xen short hair took


    out a thick envelope from his inner pocket. He lowered his voice and said, "this is what she has been


    doing in the past week. She generally spent time on home,pany, and B University. These are three


    main areas."


    Joey nodded and winked at Steve. Steve nodded and left the CEO''s office with the private detective.


    Joey looked through the photos and saw what Lois had done.


    Looking at the photo in which Lois had lost a lot of weight, Joey felt very ufortable. He touched


    her face, which had be thinner and thinner day by day. But when he thought that Lois had


    cooperated with another man behind his back, and that the other man Kent might have other intentions


    on Lois, his idea of helping Lois was gradually suppressed by jealousy.


    Anyway, she wouldn''t think of him when she was in trouble. Why did he always have to help her.


    Joey picked up the phone and dialed Steve''s number. After a while, the phone was connected. "Send


    someone to keep an eye on Kent. Be careful not to be discovered by him!"


    After hanging up the phone, Joey thought of the way Kent looked at Lois. His eyes turned cold. If the


    mysterious partner was really Kent, then don''t me him for not giving face to him!


    After giving the order, Joey put the phone back. He thought of his former family, the gentle Lois and the


    lovely Maggie... ''When will my familye back to the original?'' He couldn''t wait anymore.


    Compared with the helplessness and disappointment Joey got in the rtionship with Lois, Kent was


    able to easily integrate into Lois''s life and work.


    The two of them had dinner together asionally some time ago. Although they were talking about


    business, the rtionship between the two of them had be closer and closer. While Joey was


    getting farther and farther away from Lois, Kent had the advantage that he could get the moonlight first


    in a favorable position.


    However, Lois didn''t notice Kent''s intention at all. In her eyes, his investment was driven by a man''s


    ambition, and she happened to be the foot on the back of the horse, and what she took was the return


    from Kent.


    Every time Kent made the appointment because of the handover of the contract. Except for having


    dinner together, the two of them had no other contact point, so they had no choice but to have dinner


    together.


    She had always been a good young man with clear rtionship. She wouldn''t take advantage of Kent


    when she cooperated with him, and she didn''t want Kent to interfere in thepany''s other projects as


    a schoolmate.


    The rtionship between her and Kent was only Kent as an investor invested arge amount of money


    into the development of Sr energy.


    Facing the clear-minded Lois, Tania felt a little depressed. Everyone could see what was on Kent''s


    mind, except Lois who was so dull about love. It was because she had been in a daze with Joey for five


    years that she could not figure it out!


    However, Tania, who had been busy recently, had no time to exin to Lois. She felt that Lois had a lot


    of things to do recently as well, and it was inconvenient to dy the two of them. So Tania just gave her


    a simple advice, "it''s obvious to all that your Kent is a man of action. If you follow him, you will have


    meat to eat!"


    The simple meeting ended in Lois''s "reasonable" expression. The two of them hurried back to their


    positions and continued to work.


    The cooperation between Gu Consortium and HN Group was up again, and more than half of the


    cooperation had been smoothly negotiated. During this process, the reputation of Kent was greatly


    heard.. The former schoolmates suddenly became active in the circle. It was unknown who posted the


    photos of Kent and Joey shaking hands with each other with a smile.


    For a moment, the schoolmates'' circle was boiling with excitement. This man was the famous Kent!


    Several of his ssmates who had been famous in the University contacted Kent directly. Kent was


    surprised but happy. No matter what, the college period was the good memory of all the young people


    who graduated and worked hard, and Kent was no exception.


    asionally, he thought of the bitterness when he had a crush on Lois, and the sweetness and


    sadness when he was alone in his childhood. He felt funny but would miss more or less. What he


    missed more was the memory with Lois, which was beautiful but bitter, like a cup of coffee.


    After discussion with Kent, they finally decided the date of the party. Next Saturday, they could just stay


    sober!


    Of course, Lois also received an invitation to the party. When she set up herpany, she didn''t


    change her e-mail, so the invitation was directly sent to her work e-mail.


    She didn''t pay much attention to the wee meeting for Kent. She had already had several meals


    with him, and there were several important projects to be dealt with in thepany that day as well, so


    she didn''t have time to attend.

 Chapter 45 Those Who Had A Crush On Lois

    Chapter 45 Those Who Had A Crush On Lois


    Looking down at the sales report in her hand, Lois was happy, but at the same time, she felt a little


    distressed. The research and development of Sr energy had been put into use for nearly three


    months, though it had been finished but hadn''t been put on the market yet, so the research and


    development investment was like a bottomless hole.


    Although Lois knew that the investment would be paid back sooner orter, she was still very anxious,


    hoping that the research and development result could be put on the market as soon as possible so


    she could get the first money back.


    In business, haste was a big taboo. Lois had known it for a long time, but such arge sum of money


    had been used up in just three months, which still made her feel like a heavy weight in her heart.


    The phone suddenly rang, which startled Lois. She looked at the caller ID on the screen, hesitated for a


    moment, and answered the phone.


    "Lois, it''s me."


    Kent''s gentle voice came through. Lois knocked on the return key toplete the examination and


    approval of the documents on theputer.


    Lois looked aside. There were still three documents at hand, so she might not have time for lunch.


    "Yes, I know. What''s up?"


    After hesitating for a while, Kent said, "my good friends in college came to the wee party for me to


    celebrate my return. Do you have time to attend it?"


    Lois looked at the clock on the right corner of theputer. She still would have a meeting in half an


    hour.


    "I''m afraid not." A pleasant female voice came out of her cherry lips, and Lois refused quickly.


    "Really?" There was a hint of disappointment in his words. Judging from his voice, Lois knew that there


    must be a slight regret on Kent''s face.


    Unable to refuse again, Lois said softly, "I''ll try my best to spare some time."


    "Okay." "I''ll pick you up next Saturday," Kent said with joy


    After hanging up the phone, Lois took out a document and continued to browse.


    Time passed quickly. To Lois''s surprise, Kent really came to pick her up.


    "Maybe you will meet your ssmate who had a good rtionship with you in college this time. Are you


    mentally ready?"


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    The joy on Lois''s face was gone. She nodded slightly and said, "that''s really exciting!"!


    The party was booked in the Silver Art Hotel. Lois sighed that her schoolmates were very rich!


    To avoid misunderstanding, Lois and Kent entered the private room one after another. They used to be


    schoolmates, so they were kind of familiar to each other. After being introduced, they slowly understood


    the sses and domains of the people present, and the big and small circles of them began to talk


    about the lively things in their own life.


    When Lois was a student of the financial management department, she talked about the interesting


    things with the small circle of the go club.


    Her friend in college didn''te. Maybe it was because of work. The vice president came. He talked


    with Kent that they had not met for many years, and now things had changed. Kent talked with the vice


    president with a smile, like friends who hadn''t seen for many years, but their words were somewhat


    gentle and alienated.


    Lois had never seen Kent greet others at a party. She vaguely remembered what Kent said not long


    ago. "I''m afraid I''ll be left there if I drink too much."


    The dinner was held two tables, and the dishes on the table were wless. Lois looked at the senior


    who organized the party. His name was Carl Li, who used to be a famous yboy, but now he was a


    good father and husband.


    Carl Li seemed to have noticed Lois''s gaze. He raised his head and saw that it was Lois looking at him.


    He was slightly stunned.


    Then heughed and said, "Lois is still so beautiful when she grows up. Come on, let''s toast!"


    All the people agreed, "not only you, we think it''s a good idea to propose a toast to Lois. All the people


    who sent breakfast and love-letters to her should stand out to propose a toast!"


    Lois''s face turned red because of their jokes. The peaceful life after marriage made her no longer


    energetic as she used to be. Now she was only gentle and indifferent.


    Carl Li looked at Lois''s slightly red face and said, "when we were in the Department of business


    management, we were together day by day. Lois didn''t even nce at us. At that time, I was always


    curious who she would marry. After so many years, we either got married or had a child. Do you know


    how Lois is now?"


    Lowering her head, Lois looked at the te in front of her. There were indeed many people who had


    sent her love letters when she was in college, but at that time, she was young and thought that she


    would not be inferior to men in her life. Her mind was full of study and starting a business. She was


    very ambitious at a young age, so naturally she would not pay attention to the feelings of those secret


    admirers.


    Everyone was in a heated discussion. They asked, "was it true that Lois got married in a low-key way


    before the ss was over?"?


    The vice president was as lively as ever. He picked up his ss and smelled the wine in his


    ssmate''s hand. "I remember that Lois left without a sound before, and then the news told that she


    was married suddenly. Is it true or not?"


    Lois was a little embarrassed. She remembered that she didn''t listen to her partner Tania''s advice and


    insisted on marrying Joey. She had suffered a lot in the past five years, so she wasn''t as high spirited


    and vigorous as before.


    "Lois did go to get married, but she is about to divorce. I heard the news that Lois and her husband


    would divorce on the 5th anniversary anniversary of the two! "


    A sarcastic voice came. Lois looked up and saw another woman at the table. Her long hair was


    fluttering and beautiful, and her makeup was exquisite. However, her eyes were a little frivolous, which


    made people feel inexplicably unhappy.


    "Oh my God!"


    "Really?"


    "It''s not that easy to marry into a rich family. Look at her. She is not as arrogant as she used to be."


    It was still the shrill female voice. "She married a member of Gu Family. That person has more than two


    or three women in his arms all day long. She won''t have right to speak!"


    Many women sitting next to the long haired woman began to discuss. Although their words were


    somewhat unpleasant to hear, they still did not make Lois feel too bad.


    Now she had her own career. It seemed that even if [Joey betrayed her, she would not feel that she


    had lost everything.


    "Lois, as Yvette said, is your husband really so outrageous?"


    Gossip was a woman''s nature. A woman at the same table could no longer hide her interest. Their tone


    was full of excitement, and their eyes were full of gossip.


    Looking at the pale face of Lois not far away, Kent felt a little distressed. He smiled and changed the


    topic, "finally I know why the female stars in the entertainment circle are lovelorn every day! The click


    through rate is not low! "


    Carl Li tried to cover it as well with Kent, and they were back to talk about their current lives.


    The dinnersted until eight o''clock in the evening. During the dinner, Carl Li advised everyone not to


    drink from time to time. Lois thought that Carl Li was a self-discipline young man, but after dinner, this


    young man suddenly changed his mind and proposed to go to Golden Bar for drink! And they had


    booked a private room!
