Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce Chapter 409 - Wei Zhou’s New Love?

Su Yan expressed her resignation, "Alright, but this is strictly a one-time thing. It won't happen again. You know my principles."

Tang Yitong's eyes brightened, and she promptly leapt up with joy. Raising three fingers, she swore, "Don't worry, I give you my word, it's only this once."

Su Yan shot her an exasperated look. "Hmph, enough of that. If you dare to plot against me again, I'll certainly make you regret it."

After they chatted a while longer, Tang Yitong suddenly inquired of Su Yan, "On a side note, do you think Wei Zhou, that scoundrel, and everyone who previously deemed you unworthy of Wei Zhou would be utterly humiliated if they discovered you are, in fact, the granddaughter of the Yue family?"

Su Yan simply shook her head. Such a thought had never crossed her mind, nor did she possess the inclination to dwell on it. For her, that was ancient history, completely irrelevant to her present life.

Tang Yitong continued, "Wei Zhou has been doing quite well for himself lately. Following his return from Xiang City, he's implemented a series of corrective actions, including the significant fund withdrawal that occurred a few days ago. It appears these developments were all instigated by you."

Su Yan's eyes flickered, and she quickly attempted to distance herself from the situation. "Don't talk nonsense. These matters have absolutely nothing to do with me. I certainly wasn't the one who instructed him to take those actions."

Tang Yitong observed her, a smirk playing on her lips. "Hehe, stop with the act. How could I possibly not see through your facade? You're merely saying that. In reality, you're quite concerned about it. However, over the past year, Wei Zhou has indeed undergone substantial changes. I get the impression he genuinely acknowledges his past mistakes and is earnestly striving for self-improvement. Aren't you considering giving him another opportunity?"

At this juncture, Tang Yitong couldn't resist adding, "After all, that jerk was once the apple of your eye."

Tang Yitong’s concluding remark struck Su Yan like a sharp blade to the heart. Wishing to steer clear of the subject, Su Yan abruptly shifted the conversation, "Oh, right, don't you still have to commence the selection and training of new recruits?"

Tang Yitong abruptly rose from the sofa, her expression one of bewildered realization. "That's right! I nearly forgot. Come on, you're here too. Let's head over together."

With that declaration, she tugged Su Yan along and hurried out of the office. Su Yan, caught between amusement and exasperation at her friend's hurried demeanor, found herself following Tang Yitong out the door.

At midday, Su Yan and Tang Yitong emerged from the recording studio. With the final candidates having been selected, the two friends decided to get lunch together. Tang Yitong, having been swamped with work for several months, was finally looking forward to a month of leisure and thus resolved to indulge in a lavish seafood feast as a personal reward.

To the considerable surprise of both Su Yan and Tang Yitong, their chance encounter with Wei Zhou occurred just as they stepped out of the restaurant. It had been a full eight days since they had last seen Wei Zhou at the base of the Yue family's ancestral graves.

Gazing at Wei Zhou, whose hands were casually tucked into his pockets, Tang Yitong muttered, "He's truly remarkable. I was just discussing him during our meal, and now we've run into him right after. But, pray tell, who is that woman accompanying him?"

Wei Zhou was not alone; a strikingly attractive woman with a curvaceous figure stood beside him. As the foursome passed one another, they overheard the woman address Wei Zhou as "Ah Yuan!"

Wei Zhou offered Su Yan only a fleeting glance before diverting his gaze elsewhere. Noticing the man's deliberate avoidance of interaction, Su Yan subconsciously curved the corners of her mouth upwards. Well done, she thought. Since they were essentially strangers now, there was indeed no requirement for any exchange of pleasantries.

Witnessing this silent snub, Tang Yitong declared with indignation, "Hmph, I retract all my prior compliments for Wei Zhou. A scoundrel remains a scoundrel, through and through!"

Having spoken her mind, she then turned her attention to Su Yan, only to find her friend sporting a faint, enigmatic smile. However, this subtle expression conveyed a pang of heartache, accompanied by an unsettling sense of unease.

Tang Yitong scrutinized Su Yan carefully before speaking, "Little Yan Yan, are you truly alright? Please don't be disheartened. He isn't worth a moment's sadness, that Wei Zhou. His taste is hardly exceptional; that woman's face is blatantly artificial, clearly the product of cosmetic surgery. As for her physique, it simply pales in comparison to yours, no, it's not even in the same league."

Su Yan regarded her friend, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "What makes you assume I am feeling sad?"

Tang Yitong blinked in surprise, her large eyes widening as she studied Su Yan intently. "Wei Zhou is openly with another woman. Are you genuinely not feeling any anger or sorrow?"

Su Yan chuckled. "Why do I feel as though it is you who divorced Wei Zhou? Your reaction is remarkably intense!"

Tang Yitong was rendered momentarily speechless.

That very night, the internet was abuzz with trending news concerning Wei Zhou's alleged affair with another woman. A prominent headline proclaimed that the CEO of Excellent Era Corporation had brought a new companion home late at night, asserting that his ex-wife, Su Yan, stood no chance. Furthermore, the reports highlighted how Wei Zhou had meticulously shielded the mystery woman, ensuring that only her elegant back profile was visible, with no clear photographs of her face circulating online.
